Feuerish Movements
 Deuelop in the Iron
 and Steel Market

Cleveland, O.. April 20.-tSpeeial ) The Iron Trade Review today says
 Feverish movements have de- veloped in the iron and steel mar ket, arising from the threatened check upon output imposed by the coal strike and by the continuation of a heavy demand. Apprehension over supplies of material has been aroused among many buyers who are lrineing greater pressure to bear upon the producers The latter iu turn. facing future uncertainties. and denied the opportunity to increase capacity in production, are holdinS back in enlarging their obligations Prices on all sides are being sharply elevated and something like premiums for early and assured delivery are appearlng note of caution IS be- ing sounded in some quarters against the possibility of an over -stimula- ton of the market. The steel eorpor- alton mills are pursuing a eonserVa- tive course in making advances an Il generally this week have refrained from following the lead of competl- tors.
 BarrlnE d leW more &}dsl luIudtSc which have been banked or crippled because of coke shortage, production in the industry is being generally maintained. In some respects slight improvement in the situation affect ing the steel industry has been shown as the influence of the usual Easter holidays among the mines and coke oven workers is becoming clearer. Actually coke production in the Con nellsville region has shown only moderate loss.
 An excited market in pig iron has prevailed this week in all districts Eastern Pennsylvania iron has risen s3 to s350 per ton in the week, with foundry iron now selling at SPA and basic at s22.50 furnace. Buffalo iron is up s2.50 to s22. Chicago $1 to $2t, southern ohio s1.50 to s21. and south ern iron is rapidly hardening at s16.50 Birmingham. In the valley, S21 furnace now prevails on foundry and s20 on basic, based on actual sales.
 1he extent cs the upward swing of prices is brought out by The Iron Trade Review, composite average cf IA iron and steel products This week the composite is s34.75 as against s34.02 last week. s3345 two weeks ago and s32.s0 the low point late in March
 Structural steel awards of the week were approximately 36.000 tons. Fresh inquiries are heavy, 30,000 tons being reported. Fabricated steel awards for March as officially re- ported totaled 139,300 tons, or 77 per cent of the country's shop capacity a gain of 60, 900 tons over February and the best record since March, 1920.

She recom- mended that the federation try to see that health clinics are established in every county in the state, to fol- low up the Shepherd Townsend bill and to see that some hospital has a standardized course in training nurses in. which the finest young women in the land may be induced to pursue this as profession.

 Following this program Smith hall of the state university was visited where a wonderful exhibition of pot tery. art, jewelry was shown, and later the delegates and hostesses were guests at an elaborate recep- ton given them by Mrs. George IL.

The Story Thus Far

Camille Westbrook has gone to South Africa with Dolly Mortimer. her. little butterfly friend, who has made the trip from London to join her hus- band at Johannesburg. Elliot Glyn, in love with Camille, has made the trip with them Camille has in her possession a valuable ring which she has accepted, as security for loan, from Reggie Van Tuyl young man about town always in financial diff culties. On shipboard and in South Africa attempts are made to get the ring from her and on the lawn after dinner at Lady Nilmornys at Durban Camille one night thinks she sees Reggie's face behind the hedge. FL liott sees her push through the hedge to investigate and thinks she is meet ing Reggie and is hurt. However they make matters up later on and then start on a motor ride through the Valley of a Thousand Hills, to the home of q widewer, a friend Of Elliotts.
 Just as they are about to go into dinner that night late guest, who is to be Camille's partner, arrives. It is Reggie Van Tuyl.
 At dinner Reggie tries tc give the impression that there Is an under standing between himself and Camille and he denies her assertion that she has seen him, in South Africa, saying he has only that morning arrived.
 They all take the same train for Johannesburg. Elliot makes Camille promise to marry him. They reach Johannesburg and Camille tells Reg gie she's engaged.
 
 Doly and her husband, with Camille and Glyn, went by street car to the zoo that afternoon, which proved to be a very pretty place, set out on a wide green slope and dotted here and there with flowers.
 Tea was served on little tables fac ing a graveled walk, and beyond stretched a vivid landscape.
 Jimmy Mortimer met friend-a big, genial. red-faced Dutchman-who had been colonel in the Boer war, and had captured Winston Churchill!
 The colonel was attracted by Cam files beauty, and was most attentive to the girl.
 You English women are all pret- ty, with skins like milk and roses" !" he whispered archly, sitting next her at the tea-table, and loading her with small, iced cakes.
 That night at o'clock. when they were leaving Jo'burg to go to Bleom- fontein, he arrived at the railway

MUST STAND THE CUT.

AT a conference OF members OF the
Department Of Public Safety with the
finance committee Of City Council.
Friday night. the latter members were
informed that the department could
not get along on the Appropriation
for the coming fiscal year allowed by
the Council. Request was made for =
larger appropriation.
II is not clear how City Council can
grant this request, unless An emers-
ency should arise OF such a character
as to allow an extraordinary appro-
priation. The time for making ap-
preparations for the next fiscal year
has gone by.
The only thing for the Directors Of
Public Safety TO do is TO ''cut their
garment according 10 their CLOTH" and
get along es best they may during the
year on the funds appropriated by
City Council. If the allowance Is not
sufficient for all their purposes. they
