NEW BLOUSES HAVE SHORT PEPLUMS EXCELLENT EFFECT. | | I i | \ GORE’S CRITICS ASK HIM TO GIVE UP SEAT IN SENATE Photo by American Press Association. A survey of mare than 200 papers of Oklahoma, large dailies and small | country weeklies, disclosed that there s a widespread movement in the state against Thomas Pryor Gore, the blind senator from Oklahoma, now serving his second term. Of 225 Oklahoma papers examined, the Daily Oklahoman . found eleven were openly criticizing the senator, 108 either carried no editorials or avoided discussions of the subject, and | only filve made any effort to explain his course. None of them was sup- porting him in his attitude of oppo- sition to some of the administration’s measures far carrying on .the war. Many of Mr. Gore's staunchest sup- porters in the political and newspaper arena have joined the ranks of his critics, the survey discloses. The charge is made in one paper that the senator’s attitude toward the selective draft, which he opposed, was directly responsible for the uprising among tenant farmers and more or less ignor- ant warking classes early in August. Many of his critics ask him to give up his seat in the Senate. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. Mrs. Katherine Callahan.

Accommodation ' in France had been prepared solely in accordance with the requirements .of male troops, and modifications and adaptations for the use of women re- quired careful consideration. The camps and hotels for the wom- en worker ad to be fully equipped, within reasonable distance from the places of employment, and on a some- Wwhat higher standard of comfort than was required then for the men. | With the co-operation of the mil- dtary authorities, preliminary ar- rangements were go rapidly carried | out ,that within a month after the decision to send women to France, everything was ready for the first groups of workers. These crossed the Channel at the end of April this year. At present the women's quarters are | principally in hutted camps, and in hotels taken over by the corps at some of the bases. These camps accommo- | date from 28 to 500 women each. Their total accommodation has | reached a figure of 4,000. Each Camp Has Boss. Each camp, however smill,is under i the charge of a woman administrator | responsible for the comfort and well- i being of its occupants and for their | discipline outside office hours. { The question is often asked, is the | strict! The question of discipline was |8 subject of careful consideration. | The women of the Auxiliary Corps i cannot be treated as children; they | are carefully chosen in the first in- stance and are doing responsible work. For this reason a’great deal of liberty is given them and the rules and regulations are not stringent. Members of the corps must wear their uniforms on all occasions; there are certain restrictions regard- ing admission to cafes and estaminets in France. There are occasional roll-calls at the hostels, but out of office hours the women are allowed | a great deal of liberty. The adminis- | trator may sanction invitations to men to the public recreation rooms of the hostel. The idea in enforcing discipline among the women workers is that they should be led not driven and that 4 much depends on the administrator who acts as leader, still more on the manner in which the individual mem- bers respond to the trust reposed in | them to keep up the personal credit { and the honor of the corps. It speaks | well for the success of the system that after an experience of three months in Franc only three zirls have been returned to England and they for an act which showed more stupidity than i deliberate indiscipline. Teachers Good Administrators. The administrators are carefully chosen, being in many cases teachers in girls schools.- or housekeepers in schools or large institutions. Others are trained in welfare work or uni- versity women who have had experi- ence in similar work. To fit them for their special work in France, all women chosen for administrators re- ceive instruction before being sent out to take up their duties. Recruits for the Women's army are very carefully selected in England. Each candidate must furnish two ref- erences, which are carefully consult- ed. Then the candidate is sent before a selection. board and a medical board, both of whom have set a fair- ly high standard. Approved candi- dates are ‘“‘called up” to a receiving depot after a short time allowed them for making preparations. On arriv- ing at the receiving hostels the can- didates are solemnly enrolled and re- quired to sign their formal agree- ments before a military officer. They stay at the receiving hostel about three weeks, during which time they are inoculated and vaccinated, fitted with uniforms and taught some ele- mentary marching drill. They also attend lectures on the work before them. These three weeks are very valuable: the women make friends among their future associates and begin to get a little of that valuable “esprit de corps,’’—pride in their work and understanding of its value and importance. ‘When the first batch of recruit came to take possession of the hig receiving hostel in London they were told that | | | | would have to sleep on straw mattresses stretched over planks. Not a protest was made, al- +hough vaccination and inoculation soon gave aches and pains to several of them; on the contrary they re- jolced in the temporary discomfort as ‘“part of the game.” they filled 2,000 ON STRIKE.

Steel and Pig | Iron Markets The Iron Age says: The magnitude 6f the Government's task in fixing steel prices is showns in repeated postponement of action. In the past week prominent ' producers have been called upon for additional data and there is still no appoint- ment for the expected meeting of the | War Industries Board and the gener- al committee of steel manufacturers. The markets for pig iron, semi-fin- ished steel and rolled products con- tinue to drift. Indications of com- ing readjustments are chiefly those given by resale transactions which are but meager basts for conclusions. At Pittsburgh there has been no dupli- cation of the sales In steel-making pig iron, which in the last week of August showed a softening market, but offers of resale billets and slabs at $70 as against $100 in July are ample comment on the disappearance of competitive buying of shell steel to Europe. i The August pig-iron statistics em- phasize again the little success of blast operators- in the face of coke scarcity. The output was 3,247,947 tons, or 104,772 tons a day, against 3,342,438 tons in uly, or 107,820 tons a day. New modern blast furnaces were started last month at five steel plants—Midvale, Bethlehcm, Donner, Republic and Whitaker-Glessner—yet with all this reinforcement production declines. Many furnaces were banked for days at a time for lack of coke. On Sept. 1, 357 furnaces were in blast, with daily capacity of 110,165 tons, while 351 furnaces with daily capacity of 109,248 tons were, active on Aug. 1. The situation is well in- dicated by the fact that 25,606,000 tons of pig iron was produced in the first cight months of the year, or 175,000 tons less than in the first eight months df 1916, and yet 38 more furnaces were in blast at the opening of this month than on Sept. 1, 1916. The course of the market in the interval of waiting for the heavy re- quisitions of ship steel for the Gov- ernment is the immediate concern of niakers and buyers. Some of the 400,- 000 tons of plates bought for Japan are available for home consumption and sales at 8c, Pittsburgh, indicate the change that has already come. ¥rom mills having 10c plate contracts there is complaint in some instances of the failure of buyers to specify. The bar market has been attracting attention also. Contract sales of steel bars have been made at 4c., Pitts- burgh, for delivery in the fourth quar- ter and some déliveries at that price have been as good from the buyer's standpoint as have beensecured only recently on a 5c. basis. At the same time, when round lots of bars have been sought for Japan, with no em- bargo in effect, only fractional parts have been accepted at 4.50c. A large meeting. of tin plate manu- facturers at Pittsburgh August 31 con- sidered the request from the food ad- ministratar that contracts with can- ners be made, for a full year, instead of six months. The question of shwet bar contracts for an entire year is in- volved and negotiations with the steel mills on that matter must first be tak- en up. The draft of tin plate work- ers for war service figures in calcula- tions for the coming year’s output and there is the possibility of cutting off one turn at some mills in view of la- bor shortage. . Wire rods have shown consistent strength. On 6,000 tons for shipment abroad through this month, October and into November, $95 was done for soft and $115 for high-carbon stock. Some light is thrown on the pro- posal at Washington that the Entente Allies be\ given the same prices on American steel as the government, by British market prices on hematite pig jron. Recently the British maximum hoe trade price was 122s. 6d., while the export price for France was 137s. 6d., f. 0. b, and for Italy, 141s. 6d. Our cable advice this week is that the export price for the Allies is be- lieved to have been fixed at 141s. No publication has been made by Great Britain thus far of the prices charged her allies for finished steel, but in justice to steel-makers in this country who are asked to make preferential prices to Europe these figures should be forthcoming. The market for foundry pig iron is uniformly easier due to constant of- ferings of resale iron, but the conces- sions are not great, nor is the business considerable. Some foundrymen bought more iron for 1917 than they will need; others are pressing the fur- In the East 0 No. 2 foundry iron is now offered, as against a recent furnace price of $52 WILL TAKE SOLDIER VOTE.

Equipments and other issues more concerned in the governments taxation plan opened at gains of 1 to 11-3 points and-in- vestment rails also strengthened, éspecially Pacifics. ,, U. S. Steel opened at 1083-4 to 109 1-8, an extreme gain of 11-4 but soon reacted to 107 5-8. The entire list became irregular when New Hav- en fell 23-8 points to the new low record of 27 1-8. Pressure was again effective during the morning, New Haven's further collapse provoking fresh selling of, rails. New York Central made a new low record at 75, Union Pacific surrendered all its gain and other rails reacted 1 to 2 points. Steel rallied to 108 3-4 but once more fell back to 1 1-2 points and oth- er industrials were equally heavy. General motors broke 3 3-4 and vari- ous specialties yielded 1 to 2. Lib- erty bonds sold at 99.86 to 99.92. The market strengthened again in the afternoon, some leaders rising above highest forenoon quotations. Lower money rates, reports of the placing of large war orders for cop- per and other encouraging Washing- ton advices were the sustaining fea- tures. Closing—Another drive against rails, with yet lower records or New Haven and New York Central, and weakness in motor issues unsettled the list later. The closing was heavy.
