EVER ONWARD


Twenty-four years ago the first
steel ingot was turned out at Ensley.
Today at Fairfield the Tennessee COM
pany is operating it's new merchant
bar mill catering to the increasing de-
mand for bars in the Southeast for
export. This industry has followed
closely on the heels of the pressed
steel car works and the plate mills
making shapes for ships carrying Bir-
mingham steel products the world
over. The Steel Corporation has built
largely and understandingly year by
year until from maker of pig iron it
has become the producer of finished
steel products finding worldwide mar
kets. 1t is the leading industry of the
district and symbolic of the ever
greater part which the district takes
in the steel trade.

information with regard to their hand
ling of convicts and the revenues which
they derive from their employment.
It is understood that feature of the
survey to be made by the chamber
will be consideration of the means by
which revenue now issuing out of en-
ployment of convicts at work for pri-
vate corporations may be derived by
the state through its sole employment
and working of convicts. Other states
have solved this problem. The junior
chamber will ascertain how it was
solved and at what occupations the
convicts have been placed. In Min
nesota, for instance, the state nets
several millions of dollars a year
through operation of a Irvine mill.
Former Governor Kilby has provided
for employment of nearly one-third
of the convicts in the textile mill at
Kilby prison. There seems no good
reason against the doubling or treb-
ling of the capacity of that mill. 1t
would appear strange indeed were this
state to find no suitable method of
dealing with its convicts Meanwhile,
let it be remembered that the ques-
ton Of revenue from the leasing of
convicts cannot be deciding factor.

REDUCING WARS EXPENSE

q That a war nowadays must be con-
sducted like any big business or in
adustry was proved in the last big
estruggle overseas. Preparation for

aing and equipping of armies and ma
Ewes. 1t consists also in the mobiliza-
Elton of industry. Since the cost of

BRENT's DUTY TO THE WARRIOR

At the last minute, when the COM
mercial and industrial interests of Ala
bama were keyed. up to a state of ex-
pectancy that there would be some
definite outcome of a conference be-
tween the waterway officials and the
railways regarding the division of
joint rates, word comes that the con-
ference in Washington was postponed
because Theodore Brent, manager of
the barge lines, twas suddenly called
from Washington" The public justly
wonders what called him, or what af-
fair Of either official or private mo-
ment could possibly transcend in i'm
portance his duty to bring about the
rate adjustment at the earliest posi-
BILE date, either through direct nego-
tiation with the railways, or by appeal
to the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.
1t has been alleged by those con-
cerned over the fate of the Warrior
that Mr.. Brent has shown far more
concern for anything that would tend
to divert tonnage from his own city
of New Orleans than he has shown for
the interests of the territory to be
served. Yet Mr.. Brent was appointed
as custodian equally of all the factors
contributing to the welfare of the
Warrior as well as of the barge lines
contributing to the tonnage of New
Orleans. If Mr.. Brent is guiltless of
the charge against him, his actions
do not persuade to his exoneration
in the minds of the public which is
served by the Warrior and which is
anxious over the fate of the Warrior.
The waterways are definite COM
initial of the government to the de-
velopment of this hitherto neglected
arm of transportation. Certain things
have been pointed out as essential to
their success. The public interest can
not be served by any one who places
a special consideration above the well
fare of the entire waterway unit. Just
now the end sought is a just division
Of rates between the railroads and the
barge lines. 1t is Mr.. Brent's prime
duty to bring about such division at
the earliest possible date. 1t would
be greatly to be regretted if he has
suffered anything of secondary i'm
portance or of special nature to side
track him from his duty.

JOHN MS


A useless search, either of
mental or physical nature. is indi-
Gated by dreams of mushrooms. If
the dreamer sees or, eats them, the
search will be physical; that is,
she will attempt to reach pure
ly material goal which. however.
rs not meant for her and will be
removed further and further the
more she attempts to achieve it.
If. on the other hand. the sleeper
finds herself in the act of picking
mushrooms or looking for them,
either in woods or field, her
search will be mental one. She
will strive after contentment or
love. or educational improvement.
and yet adverse circumstances will
make her quest absolutely fruit
less.
1t will be we'll for women who
have such dreams to probe their
own minds SO that they may dis
cover which one of their various
aspirations was indicated by the
vision.
Nothing is more hopeless and
discouraging than a quest which
leads nowhere and a dream of this
sort is a Kindness inasmuch as
it warns the sleeper not to con-
tinue along the wrong path.

MOTHERS OF FAMOUS
MEN
Mother of the Duke of wellington


Historians have proved in the
case of the Duke of Wellington, as
with so many other men OF ge-
MUS and greatness, that his best
gifts We're inherited from his
mother. 1t is rather interesting
in this particular instance, since
there was at no time any bond
of sypmathy between the mother
and son, and little love was lost
between them. Lady Wellington
never understood her son, prob
ably because he was so much like
her. She thought him stupid as a
child. and totally devoid of prom
Use. She was frequently heard to
say, according to biographers: II
vow to God, l don't know what l
shall do with him." However he
more or less took that out of her
hands, by the exercise of the very
same qualities that she possessed.
She was woman. write the his
torians, of more masculine than
feminine temperament, possessed
of no ordinary powers of mind
and body. She had a remark able
strength of character and an in
domitable will, together with an
imperious temper. All of these
qualities were inherited IN their
full strength by her son, and
served to make his greatness.
Probably had she been man.
greatness would have been her
portion also.
Lady Wellington was an ungra-
cious. though highly intellectual.
woman She was stern and cold;
her temperament contained moth
ing even vaguely approaching
geniality, in which once more
there is a resemblance to her son.
