The Meridian District North Zone
met at Newell Chapel CINE Church
Sunday March 30, 1871. All of the ser
vices were inspired by the meeting of
the Zone. 1t was Homecoming Day
for the members OF Newell Chapel and
the regular services were not dispensed
with, however, the day proved to be
another fifth Sunday well spent Rev
f. F. Young was the sp aker and out
or his experience, unfolded and deve-
icped his subject matter in a way that
appealed to ali.
The spirit of the Zone is fine. All
the societies made Mound financial rs-
ports, leaving for the benefit of the
church more than $1,000. The total
ciilections for the day amounted 10
S5734. After the eleven o'clock service,
the physical needs of those in attend
ance were taken care of in the base
ment of the church. Everybody sal
down and ate "to their flip. Upon
the suggestion of Mrs. S. E. BlacEzman,
District President, the North and South
Zones will meet in a joint session al

Webster defines Individuality"
as that quality which distinguishes
one person from another. If you
were to stand on a corner before a
theatre or a church, and watch the
great numbers of people coming out,
you would be amazed at the dis
similarity of faces-so very many
faces and yet all different, one from
the other. 1t is Individuality"
which makes you 'you' and me
me"
Sometimes 1t helps actively to
contribute to that quality which
says that you are Dorothy and Mary
is Mary, by a little exterior embel-
lishment. We see it being done
every day-and it is so simply ac-
complished that / wonder we didn't
think of it before this.
For instance, take a group of high
school girls. Probably they are all
dressed in sweaters and skirts
some wear blouses instead of sweat
ers. However, all in all, there
seems to be quite a uniformity about
them. But, beyond dress, that
similarity ceases. How? Look fol
yourself and you'll soon determine
one of the chief reasons.
l think it lies in their hair fash
ions. One may be long bob-one
very short. Some girls affect
ours; others like their hair straight
and severe.

By September
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, June g.
Lack Of pig iron, which has been
constant bottleneck in Alabama
since the defense program stepped
up production almost a year ago,
forced the States steel output down
to 90 per cent of capacity today.
Moves under way to relieve the
shortage are expected to enable Ala
bama plants to keep ingot produc-
ton at capacity levels by September,
however.
Rebuilding and enlarging Of a
blast furnace at the Ensley works of
the Tennessee Coal. Iron & Railroad
Co is expected to take some 80 days.
No curtailment was reported in
finishing plants manufacturing
plates. bars and certain wire prod
ucts. The demand remained espec-
cially heavy.
Included among steps to alleviate
the pig iron shortage are enlarge
ment of the Ensley furnace by $4,000
tons annually, rehabilitation of an
abandoned blast furnace at Holt.
Ala: sintering and conditioning of
iron ore and humidity control for
several furnaces.

NEW YORK, June 6.-Bernard
M. Baruch, in an interview with
the Wall Street journal, said yes
terday the United States could I'M
dersell the totalitarian countries In

the United States, would be "on
the spot" economically even if Ger
many were to win control Of the
European continent.
Mr.. Baruch, who was selected by
President Wilson TO head the War
Industries Board in 1917, and is
now a national defense consultsnt
to the Roosevelt administration
expressed the belief that fears con-

What will she do?" the Wall
Street journal quoted him as saying
Where can she sell her products
or those of the countries she has
conquered"
Low Price Structure Vital.
The veteran f1nancier said he
believed the United States market
would be cut of from European
countries that formerly sold here
and that under proper economic
policy the United States should be
able TO drive Germany out OF any
desired neutral market.
1t is imperative, Mr. Baruch said
that the United States IL MAIN

Mr.. Baruch told the Wall Street

received report from the German
plant which showed concluSively
that despite its low wages and long
hours with the German mark at

there is no reason why we can't

A price rise now. he asserted,
would have to be liquidated in the
postwar period and that would
throw the United States off balance
and place 1t in an unfavorable po-
sition to wage economic war.
Mr.. Baruch said he believed Ger

associates of the New York Stock

tight situation in the mems wooden

The expectation was the an

Indications are that the situa-
ton will not be relieved TO any ex-
tent as long as the war lasts. The

TALLY enlarged over the next four
months. This, of course, will re-
