COLONIAL IRoNMAKERS

Iron exports to England by several of
the American colonies became of consider
able Importance even before the Revolu-
tionary War, in spite of many difficulties
experienced by early ironmakers. The in
dustry had its first development in the more
northern colonies, but was slow in reaching
those farther south.
Pioneer ironworkers who started to
build blast furnace at Falling Greek, Va,
were massacred by the Indians in 1922, and
for nearly century no iron was produced
south of Pennsylvania. Finally, under the
sponsorship of Governor Spottswood, Vir-
ginia first furnace was completed 20 miles
west of fredericksburg, in IT'S, with a
capacity of 20 tons of iron week.
Augustine Washington father of
George Washington, became sinterested in
an iron company which established a fur
mace on his estate in Stafford county in
1926, six years before our first President
was born. AIletter written shortly after
ward said: ''Mr. Washington raises the
ore and carts it thither (about two miles
from the mine to the furnace) for 20 shill-
ings per ton of iron that it yields.
By 1850 the American colonies were
exporting more than 5000 tons of iron to
England annually. and total production
was more than 10000 tons. While this
seems like an insignificant amount, COM
pared with the more than 100 million tons
of iron and steel the United States will pro-
duce this year, it was quite an item in the
commerce of the colonies 200 years
ago. siaa .e

 Sixteen of the new 13-ton tanks will be used in maneuvers for the first time by the Sirth Army corps and an anti-tank battalion of the 18th Division, created by Lt.-Col, Edward D. Sirois of Lawrence, will be given its first test.
 Simulated parachutists, fifth col- umnistS, dive-bombing attacks and other modern devices of behind the-line warfare will give the games 8 touch of realism.

GASOLINE CAUSE OF MUCH TROUBLE
Prices Go Up Here in Wa terbury Again; Govt.
 Takes Action

Many local gasoloine stations raised their prices for both regular and premium fuel today, while others awaited definite word from their wholesalers, expected later today or tomorrow. Tank car increases of eight tenths of cent a gallon were announced yesterday, and dealers are passing the higher cost on to their customers.
 The increase Is the second put into effect here in less than a week. It was reported from Washington that Price Administrator Leon Hem derson plans to send investigators to Connecticut to ascertain the req sons for the increases.
 Though stations can order extra supplies to take care of the heavy traffic expected over the Labor Day weekend, they were reminded to- day by George Gaughan, secretary of the Waterbury Gasoline Retail CTS Association, that such orders will be charged against their Sep- tember quotas. It means taht those ordering extra holiday supplies will face reduction of even more than the present 10 per cent of July gall lonage next month.
 Many stations are still selling only a few gallons to a customer Operators of small establishments are complaining that the reduction in their supply may force them out
