HEAVY IRON TONNAGE SOLD LATELY BY SSL0SS
Outlook For Good Demand And
 Satisfactory Prices

Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron com pany has sold a heavy tonnage of iron during the past several months and with outlook for higher prices and continued strong demand, the company Is expected to show good earning during 1924, according to the Wall Street Journal, which says:
 Question of a dividend on Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron common will, it is likely, come up at the February the regular preferred dividend is due. Declaration of a s1.50 8 share distribution on the 100000 common shares is expected, which will put the stock on $5 annual basis.
 Sloss-Sheffield begins 1924 in are estimated at $21 a share--actual net for the first 10 months was $19.16 a share-on common, against $1.09 a share in 1922. It's floating debt, stand ing $2.631,000 year ago and $3,- 355,000 two years ago. has been erased and it's working capital posi- ton Is entirely satisfactory.
 Most encouraging feature in Sloss situation Is tfactf that manufacturing costs have beensbrought to point where company Is able to make profits at current prices for pig iron. This means that it is now among the lowest cost producers in the country.
 Advices from Birmingham say that iron pipe producers there are hooked up far ahead and expect heavy busi- ness throughout 1924, and they are the principal consumers of southern merchant iron.
 In recent weeks Sloss has sold a considerable tonnage of iron at satis factory, for it. prices. Outlook for iron demand is good and indications points to probable higher prices this spring. If these indications are borne out Sloss will almost certainly show good earnings this year.

STREET. SKATING |S GROWING MENACE
Police Chief Calls On Parents To Aid In Stopping
 Practice

Street skating is the latest and one of the dealiest menaces to the chill dren of Birmingham, reports from the police department declare.
 Birmingham children who use the streets as a skating rink are not only violating the law, but are in immediate danger of being run down, maimed for life or killed.
 One little tot sustained fractured skull Sunday afternoon and is fight ing for his life in a Birmingham hospital as a result of street skating.
 Chief of Police Fred McDuff Sun day night told The Age-Herald he had but one recoufse in the matter and that is to appeal to parents of children to prohibit the practice.
 Tt is obviously impossible for my men to watch all the streets of Bir- mingham.' the chief said. It is skate either on the sidewalks or in the streets. Parents need not be sur prised to hear that their child has been run down and seriously hurt or oven killed if they are allowed to continue this dangerous practice"
 Motorists have complained that often children living in the hilly sec- tions of the city will grab on to pass ing automobiles and be drawn to the top of a hill. then coast down. Motor- ists are seldom aware of the child's presence and as a result do not know of the impending danger. When the car gathers momentum there Is dan- ger of the child being thrown head long to the pavement.
 Children have even been known to cling to the front lenders of passing automobiles. It was in this man. ner that .1a-year-old Lyrill Climer sustained a fractured skull Sunday afternoon. Other like cases have been reported.
 An old practice of clinging to Highland avenue street, cars has been about abandoned after several acci- dents resulted, the chief stated.

When Electricity Makes the Butter
OF other farm chores piled up the
churning frequently became one more
muscle-acher, the prospect OF which
didn't always bring smiles.
There are farms today where hand
churning Is never known. Butter Is
produced in large quantities and in
quick time. with unfailing regularity.
but no muscles feel any the stiffer for
1t. The secret lies in the presence OF
that little black motor that takes care
Of all the muscle work and never
grows tired or feels used up after
hours Of work.
The electric motor has entirely al
tered the aspect Of this particular
chore, as It has also done in thu ease
Of many other farm duties. some Of
them much heavier. than that Of churn-
ing. The electrified farm. can take
full advantage Of this ingenious ar
rangement, which helps to save time,
and thereby make the farm family a
family of leisure. And someone has
defined leisure as being simply time
to live"
