A MORNING PRAYER
BARRIE RECALLS DEATH OF
 BRAVE EXPLORER

The world already knows how Capt. Robert F. Scott died in the Antarctic, but the story of his splendid sacrifice is worthy of repeti- ton, as an example of heroism in circumstances which might well daunt the bravest soul.
 When Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and Sir James M. Barrie were installed as chan celor and rector, respectively, of St. Andrews university, the author of TPeter Pan" chose for the subject of his address the medication of courage in youth. In the course of his him by Captain Scott, who led the British Ant arctic expedition of 1900-04. It was found in Scott's tent after his tragic death.
 "We are begging out in very comfortless spot" the commander wrote. Hoping this let ter may be found and sent to you, write you word of farewell. want you to think well of me and my end" Some personal instruc- tions followed, and the letter continued: "Good-by. I'm not at all afraid of the end, but 1t is sad to miss many simple pleasure which I had planned for the future in our long
 
 frozen, etc.; no fuel and long way from food. But it would do your heart good to be in our tent to hear songs and our cheery conversations"
 Men have died on the battlefield with smile on their faces and song their lips, but that was an easy death compared to the slow torture to which the gallant Captain Scott and his comrades were subjected. There is no will derness like the frozen vastnesses of the far south and north. Nowhere else does the adven- turer feel more remote from his fellow man, and 1t requires greater courage than is neces- sary to "seek the bubble reputation in the can noni mouth to endure cold, solitude and star vation. The names of men less brave than Captain Scott have gone ringing down the ages, the theme of song and story.

INDUSTRY SHOT AHEAD IN THE MONTH OF APRIL

The recovery of iron and steel markets in April was the most pronounced of the year fol- lowing very active March. The former month showed that recovery was at hand. April has demonstrated beyond question that it is here.
 May 1 finds the metal trade situation very satisfactory one. The coal strike has had little effect where it is at it's peak, and the remain der of the country apparently does not feel it at all except benefically in demand for coal and stimulation of depressed prices.
 In spite of the coal strike iron production in April was 69,000 tons daily, compared with 65- 900 tons in March. Seven more furnaces were added to the active list.
 Placing an order for 2,75o cars by the Chi cago and Northwestern railroad brings the total purchase of freight cars this year to 60,000, purchased in all 1921, and compares favorably with the pre-war average for the period of 61,000 cars. Fabricated steel awards for the week amount to 100 per cent of the capacity of bridge and structural shops in the country. Two eastern ship yards are asking for steel after being out of the market for many months
 The Illinois Steel company is at S6 per cent of capacity. Railroad buying at Chicago is unabated. The New York Central railroad has ordered 24,000 tons additional of steel rails.
 The American Radiator company placed an fo,, of plants with Buffalo iron furnaces, and the United States Cast Iron Pipe company has or dered 60,OoO tons of Ensley iron for it's Ala bama plants.

APPRECIATE FIRE DEPARTMENT

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 We want to compliment and thank the Bir- mingham fire department for the good work done by them in the fire last night, which de- stroyed the store of Markstein Millinery com pany and threatened our place two doors away. Without their great work, and the efficient cooperation of the police department in roping off the places, we believe that our place, ss well as the entire block, would have been de- stroyed
 We certainly have an efficient and capable fire department, of which all Birmingham can be proud. Yours very truly,
