SLIGHT INCREASE
IN PIG IRON ON
YARDSIS SHOWN
Enormous Melt of Local Plants
Accounts For SmallneSs OF
Stock Increase Despite
EmbargoeS

There is cumulative evidence OF the
Birmingham districts ability to care
for itself under severest handicaps
In the small accumulation of pig iron
on furnace yards made in August.
The total increase was only $4,000
tons on make of more than 100000
tons. This is less than 20 per cent
of the make Industrial experts
sgree that it has been another M
stance where the district took care
CT itself. The enormous melt of pig
iron by Birmingham pipe shops,
stove works, radiator plants and the
like is credited with the unexpected
smallness of the increase In stocks
compared with what was feared
would be incident to the rail en-
bargoes, the car shortage and the
consequent inability to move Bir-
mingham pig iron in quantities to
the accustomed fields In the middle
west, the east and even the terri
tory between Nashville and the Ohio
river.
Pacific coast alone took it's usual
quota of iron shipped out of the
district, that going down the War
rior river and thence by ships to the
coast.
Alabama furnace yard stocks Au-
gust l were $4,000 tons, the lowest
on record, On September / they were
$4,000 tons. There was practically
no basic iron. which shows that steel
makers used up all the tremendous
basic iron output of the month. Tho
leading interest Is understood TO
have consumed every pound of its
ingot mill production in the finish
ing mills.
AS It is, the stocks now on yards
compare with 1sS.o00 tons at this
time last year. The present total
is insignificant in face of the de-
mand.
A large tonnage of Birmingham
iton has been sold at $3.50 for fourth
quarter delivery. The market spread
is from s25 to $3.50. with most
makers out OF the market and con-
fident of the maintenance OF the SIS
base as rock bottom. with chances
of the higher prices becoming the
fixed base for rest of the year.

THE wnoNoED HUSBAND

During the reading of the love let
ter that Claire Adams had written to
Harry Glendening at the coroners In
quest Henry Adams. husband of the
American Beauty, became SO excited
that the. policeman in charge of him
could hardly keep him in his seat
At its close he shouted: I'll leave
it to any decent husband here wheth-
er If he had read letter like that
he would not have started out i'm
mediately to kill the man to whom 1t
was written.
Il did start out to find and Kill
him. wish had killed him."
Then, In spite of the efforts of the
policeman to restrain him, he rose
dramatically from his chair, saying
But, o Judge; l did not intend to
kill Claire. l loved her. But now
they won't even let me see her before
they put here away forever. She was
good-good until he came around
with his cursed flattery and bland
ishment"
Adams broke down and sobbed like
child and Doris wept with him.
Suddenly he seemed to feel her
sympathy and, looking up, he ad-
dressed himself directly to her.
Il do not know you, lady, but
you're woman and you must know

The outstanding feature of the
weekly luncheon of the Rotary club
in the dining room of the Southern
club yesterday afternoon was a
classification of stunt pulled off by
r. j. Williams. Mr.. Williams began
his talk with a calm seriousness that

brought up. During the course of
his talk Mr.. Williams stated that the
club should have a private home If

furnish the home to be purchased
from Rotarians only. beginning with
the land and including the chimney

child assisted at the piano.
