IMUNITION | Prominenr Women Cover Crown Worn by Dr. Shaw FACTORIES GROW Ierge Number of Shells and Gartridges Turned Out (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) Birmingham, Nov. 8.—By the cour- tesy of the Minister of Munitions, Rt Hon. David Lloyd George a represen- tagve of the The Associated Press has today visited some of the largest mu- nition establishments in this area, one of the eleven into which the country is divided. Here, for example, is a factory where cartridges were made in peace times. It is not remarkable that in war times it is doubled in size, in operation day, night and Sundays, Wigk 7,000 emploves. That seems the ndtural result of war. But to see an enormous plant, cov- ering 20 acres, that a year ago were bare fields, with one building having a floor space of four acres, with 6,000 employes turning out the most deli- cate times fuses with regiments of men and women at work as if they had been at it for vears—this is to gra=p an idea of what England is do- ing and to realize why a Cabinet post was created for the supervision of such undertakings, of which this gi- gantic establishment with its acres of delicate machinery is but one of thousands. 7,000,000 A Week. The cartridge factory in turning out ‘seven million cartridges a week. “We should be doing much more,” <al the manager, “if we could but e the machinery and the skilled labor that we know is coming.” The fuse output in the gigantic plant of mushroom growth was not ptated but the manager told the same jtory, of the coming machines and the oming skilled labor. ' The machinery, artly made in England, also has names of makers in New Britain, onre Providence, R. I., Windsor, |Conli., Brazil, Ind., Waynesboro, Penn., Cleveland, O., and other Ameri- an cities. “We have skilled labor here from jPenmark, Holland, Canada, even South America and more are on the fray,” explained the manager—an- Pther happy effect of controlling the as. Are many of these women wives bt siAgiers?” “Hundreds, perhaps thousands. Pne advance of the British on the Western front produced 14 widows in pne department. You see they work ith a will.,” Acres of Flags. The acres of roofs are dotted with pritish flags, with here and there a Dr. Anna Howard Shaw’s an- nouncement of her intention not to seek or accept re-election as presi- dent of the National Woman Suffrage association brought forth mention of several prominent suffragists, any one of whom may succeed Dr. Shaw. The association meets in Washington Dec. 14 to 19. Mrs. Stanley McCor- mick, treasurer of the association, is prominently mentioned, Mrs. McCor- mick lives in Washington, and it the belief of many of the suffrage leaders that her presence at the cap- ital will mean much to the suffrage cause when the national amend- ment is introduced. Mrs. Desba Breckinridge of Lexington, .- Ky, first vice president of the association, also is a candidate for the presi- dency. Mrs. Breckinridge has been a suffrage leader in the south for several years. Mrs. Breckinridge is a great-granddaughter . of Henry Clay. Dr. Shaw, who will continue her suffrage activities, favors an eastern woman, it is said, and her mantle may fall upon Mrs. Winston Churchill, wife of the famous nove- SALE OF DEER TERMED ILLEGAL Unlawiul to Sell Animals Killed in State renth and Belgian one. The refu- lees from the territory across the jhannel that Germany has invaded ed not be idle. Indeed, nobody need be idle in rmingham, perhaps in all England, he or she is able to work. The irmingham papers are full of adver- jsements calling for men, women and Jailégan to work in munition factories Ind even the jeweler advertises: [Now that work and money are flenty, buy etc.” It is as if England were planning to rry on war for years and years. me of all this output is for Russia d other allies. What will these new plants be mak- year or ‘two or three years from pw when the war is over? “That’s not our problem,” added he staff captain. “Our job is to get unitions with which to kill Ger- ans.”” And if one in 50 of the shells the Birmingham area could reach f mark, the war would be over.” EATHS AND FUNERALS.

Hinman has given an ‘rampton, of the fish and game commission that it is unlawful to offer deer killed state for sale and that it was not the intention of the law of 1915 to per- in the mit the warton destruction of deer. There has been an opinion among hunters of deer that they had the right to sell the carcases of the ani- mals shot by them. Reports from all over Connecticut show that deer are destroyed at a rate not contemplated by the general as- sembly when the law of last session was enacted. The attorney general has been informed that the animals are even hunted with dogs. The Con- necticut Human society has 'had its attention called to the cruel manner in which deer have been killed. Some prominent people in the state have suggested that the governor suspend the law until the next session of the general assembly, the suggestion being based on the assumption that the gov- ernor had the power. It is not be- lieved the governor has such power. The law referidng to the suspension of the hunting season says the governor may when he considers extraordinary precautions necessary to prevent fires in voodland proclaim a season of drought during which the hunting season may be suspended.

R. R. Cancels Gontract for Cars as Demurrer New York, Nov. 26.—The Iron Age The steel trade is rushing on speed which may easily carry it past any danger signal. The rapid ad- vance of prices is viewed with concern in some quarters, but the protests are rather of helplessness in the face of such a situation The Pennsyivania railroad’'s an- nouncement of the withdrawal of its inquiry for 11,000 cars, on which the showed a startling advance in at a prices—nearly 100 per cent. in somec | cases over the lowest car bids of the year—is the first strong demurrer in the home market. The complaints steel producers have been hearing thus far have rather come from manufact- uring consumers who could not fill their orders for lack of steel or who could not get no place on the books of the mulls for steel sure to be nceded in the second quarter of next year, Allies Used Steel. Following the recent statement that France would limit further steel buy ing in this country because of high Frices, a London cable announces that the Allies have reached such a rate in muritions manufacture that furtaer orders need not he placed here. It is true that there is now no new shell business in the hands of the Allies’ agents here, but it is known that op- tions were taken on quantities beyond those named in existing contracts, Fur- ther, whatever the increased munitions capacity of the Allies, they have found no way of increasing their output of steel. Tt is known, too, that one large buyer here for a French steel com- pany that has already taken 400,000 tons of large rounds will continue to be a buyer in this country for another twelve-month. So far as reminders that the war demand will not go on indefinitely an- tidote some of the dangers in the present steel situation, they are not unwelcome. There has been no lit- tle uneasiness over the prospect that home consumption would suffer while mills were busy with attractive war contracts. Old Material Market. Old material markets at “hicago and Pittsburg have been active and excited in the past week due to the scramble of steel works for scrap, after having forced up pig-iron prices by their purchases in that market. Heavy melting steel scrap has ad- in the past two weeks at Chicago due to large buving for « and the fear of a scrap short- 1ge in that district. At Pittsbu melting steel scrap has advanced 50c to $1 a ton and shipments are being made from eastern Pennsylvania into that district One Youngstown in- terest has taken 60,000 tons in recent purchases. The to the st sized hy steel trade’s own capacity is emp let for extensions ain on contracts hearth and other TFour Eastern steel compani have placed a total of 10,500 tons for such work with fabricating companies and the Inland Steel Company at Chicago has let 8,000 tons of fabricated steel for its open-hearth and other addi- tions. The week’s price advances make a long list, including in part $1 to $2 on billets and sheet bars, $2 on skelp, $1 to $2 on contract plates, sheets and bars, $2 to $3 on black sheets and $3 to $5 on galvanized, $1 to $2 on wire rods, $2 on bands, $2 on bar iron, $3 on spikes, $3 on shafting and about 10 per cent. on nuts and bolts, be- sides $1 advances in several Northern pig-iron markets.

Through Lawyer F, B. Hungerford, the Incorporated Produce company of this city today brought suit for $250 against the S. U. Calkins & Son com- pany of lHenrietta, N. V. The writ, | served by Constable Fred Winkle, is returnable before the city court on the third Mouday in Ncyember: U But Efficient. (Philadelphia Inquirer.) We must have a hearty respect for the intricate and cflicient system that has been crcated. Militarism in Ger- many is an ugly beast. It has over- awed the nation. It has subordinated all else to its ferocity. Peace has been crucified to satiate its appetite. But, ugly as it is, it is something to be ad- mired for its amazing efficiency. It was this,amazing efliciency that the German war lords relied upon to carry them to immediate triumph. When this efficiency, this complete given due recognition, the wonder is that it has not accomplished more. It intended to crush. Failing in that, time has been given for Eng land to get itself ready, and, if Lloyd George is to be believed, the shortage in ammunition that has heretofore existed is about to be overcome. But if the astonishing German ma- chine has not crushed, it has not in turn been crushed, and so the war lin- gers, with no signs of peace in sigit. Indeed, how can there be peace that | does not first of all hand violated, plundered and murdered Belgium back to the Belgians, with reparation for the horrible crimes committed, in so far as there can be reparation for them contribution | ¥ Tp-nnnu ! HARTFORD Fmite for Stout Women a Specialty. AFFECTION VER STYLE. One of the most admirable of hu- man qualities, and one of the most rare, is unaffectedness. ; To be neither eccentric nor dramatic and natural, is to fit symmet- v into the scheme of things. An H. O. P. garment is a perfect example of what most of us ought to be—individual, but not offensive, en- terprising but not too extreme. In all the scores of models embraced in our great Fall and Winter stocks you will look in vain for a garment without style- And by the same token, you will look in vain, even among the most pronounced models, for any sign of foppery or affectation. First and above all they are clothes of character.
