Pig Iron Market Is Enjoying Lull While Production Is Maintaining High Record
Large Steel Cargo Leaves for Japan-Coal Trade With Windward Islands Opened Up-Steel Foundry
 and Pipe Shops Begin Operations

lew buying of pig iron is as near an unknown quantity in the Birmins- ham iron market as during the low est ebb of the depressed period, but for very different reasons. Makers have booked their make through the second half and well into the third quarter and melters bought their re- quirements ditto. Neither wishes to load up further right now.
 Production everywhere remains at maximum. This is true at the Ems ley, Fairfield and Bessemer mills of the Tennessee company, at the wire mills of the American Steel and Wire and the Gulf States Steel, at the hoop and band mills of the Corners Steel, at the structural steel plants of Vir- ginia Bridge and Iron and others, at the pressure and sanitary pipe shops of the U. S., the American, the Ma tional and McWane companies, at the cement mills, the stove works, the radiator plants and car works.
 LITTLE IRON SOLD
 Pig iron prices were pinned to a base of $27 several weeks ago and no maker has tried to advance the same. They lean the other way. The weeks business was confined to small ton nages of prompt iron. One maker boosted 600 tons last week; others in proportion. ehe market Is strong, but melt and production are on an even keel.

TWO NEW INDUSTRIES

TWO new industries came in dur the week They were the new steel foundry of the Tennessee company at Fairfield and the new sanitary pipe works of the Birming gham Ma chine and Foundry company in Bir- mingham.
 The 1,50G, barrel cement mill of the Phoenix Portland Cement com pany is expected to begin operations by May 1o, possibly earlier, and the merchant bar mills of the Tennessee company is expected to begin opera ations around May l.
 NEW PIPE BUSINESS
 The pressure pipe market is fea- tuIed by new business in spite of the swamped condition of plant capacity. Among the new bookings of the l.. $. Pipe company are 1,20U tons of 6 to 20 inch sizes for Akron, Ohio; 1,0o0 tons of 6 to s inch size of DeLaVaud pipe for Miami, Fla; and 700 tons for Duncan, N. C. These orders followed shortly after orders for HOO tons for Memphis and 5000 tons for Fort Smith, Ark. The Birmingham base on pressure pipe remains at S49.
 Sanitary pipe market has been fairly quiet recently, but the shops are full up on business and the base remains at s75 for standard and S65 for extra heavy.

STEEL FOR JAPAN

An outstanding feature of the week was the movement of nearly 10000 tons of Ensley, Fairfield and Besse- meqr steel products to Japan. The steamer Knoxville City carried over 5000 tons of rails, 533 tons of steel bars and quantities of bolts, nuts, rivets and angle bars to Fusan, Yo- kohama and Kobe.
 Another export movement out of Mobile was that of 1,000 tons of coal for Georgetown in the Windward Islands. This is the first of regu- lar semi monthly coal cargoes to be taken to that part of the world by steamers of the Aluminium line play ing between Mobile and the Wind ward Islands. This opens a new out let for Alabama coal via the Warrior river

, This is not as alarming as it seems.
for the reason that while hand
signaling is waning motorists are be-
coming more skillful at guessing
what the folks ahead of them are
going to do. Any driver who will
study his own case will see that he
is seldom surprised at quick changes
in the course or direction ,of cars
ahead of him, changes which but a
few years ago would have meant as
many accidents.
There is no doubt the driver Of to-
day is beginning to see that it is up
to him to be prepared at all times for
what the other fellow may do. In
other words. signaling is not pri-
marily for the benefit Of the man
behind. as was generally supposed a
few years ago, but 4 protection for
the man in the lead.
Here is where the automatic stop
signals. and the hopcd-for automatic
direction signals, come in. They are
a protection to the man in the lead:
insurance against arrest for viola
ton of State auto laws and insurance
against a rear-end collision.
The man behind is learning to take
care of himself. and therefore, does
not complain about non signaling.
The man ahead is the fellow who
benefits most by signaling.

Factors That Decide
Closed Car Quality

Building a closed car body is like
building a house. Moro than solid
foundation is required. There must
be substantial side walls. the proper
kind of roof, and high class interior
fittings. II is impossible to skimp
on ma terials and workmanship and
build a closed car body that will en-
dure.
With improved methods of design
and manufacture. inspired largely by
the growing demand for closed cars
of durable construction and the re-
sultant production of closed car
bodies in quantity. greater intrinsic
values are possible. Closed cars of
highest quality are now produced
and their co-ts are far lower than
prevailed a few short years ago for
cars of inferior quality. Better quail
ity has been accompanied by great
er completeness of appoin tments. all
with the idea of providing every
comfort and convenience that may
be wished.
The increasing numberI of closed
cars being produced now as COM
pared with previous years is simply
in line with the determination of
automobile makers to meet q we'll
defined and growing demand. The
closed car has been taken out of the

The Old Mechanic Says:

"My latest plan is to save all the
worn out or defective parts taken
out of cars brought in here for re-
pairs. I'm doing this for two pur-
poses: it shows the car owner what
l did TO his car and why did it, and
gives me chance to show him why
the repairs We're necessary.
a lot of car owners get somethin'
the matter with their cars and COM
plain to the dealer before they're
sure who's to blame. Sometimes
the repairer makes a mistake in
thinking a new part is necessary, in
which case the dealer gets unfairly
criticised. The same if the trouble
is due to the car owners careless
ness: In either of these cases it
simply means that when a car owner
comes to a dealer with legitimate
complaint he doesn't get the action
he's entitled to.
Il save the parts, and they are
proof enough. 1t makes me careful
in my work. and saves my customer
money. because l don't charge him
for lot OF new parts unless he can
save money by installing them. If
the worn or defective part is no fault
of the owners he has good argu-
ment to put up when he takes his
complaint to the dealer. And If the
trouble is due to his own careless
ness it gives me an opportunity to
show him how much it costs to
neglect the car.
Il know for fact that a lot of
my customers have been secretly
accusing me Of running up repair
bills. But now Ill show 'em a thing
or two. When l show a reddish col :
ored valve to its owner I'll explain
that he wouldn't have had to buy a
new one, if he had watched the tap

Observations
The seventy percent Of motorists
in Michigan who can't remember
their license numbers may perhaps
be excused on grounds that they
have been too busy trying to remem-
Der the license numbers OF cars which
ran into them.
1t isn't necessary to write down
the numerals Of a drivers license in
order to get his number.
Speaking Of license numbers, il the
authorities at Detroit keep on hand
ing out Jail sentences Michigan mo-
florists will simply use their, ball and
chain numbers for their license tags.
They'll not be likely to forget these.
Even the traffic officers are prac-
Using safety first. Following New
York's plan they are taking to traffic
towers where loose steering gears
and defective brakes won't distract
their attention.
When a motorist dashes past you
on the highway he wants you to ad-
nire the power OF his engine; when
he goes by slowly he wants you to
take a good look al his new car; when
he can't get by he wishes you would
blow a tire.
A weak tire and the North wind
have the same habit.

Altruism is coming to be viewed as
a handy accessory to convenient
motoring. There are some drivers
of large cars who are decent enough
not to try to park in space which
a small car could use to better adj
vantage; and there are few drivers
of short wheelbase machines who do
not plank themselves in the few
larger spaces to which the longer
cars are entitled. There would be a
lot less trouble in parking if every
driver would select 4 space in &C
cordance with his needs.
When stopping close to or directly
