that there is so much new buying. Oars la Demand. Considerable amounts of car material have just been placed for the third quarter. Meantime new car ordars are limited by th delivery factor. Some kinds of cars can be had in . five months: for other buyers would have to wait seven to nine months. The demand for structural material in the central west is now more active than at any time since the summer of 1912. For the addition to the Cuyahoga works of the American Steel and Wire company at Cleveland a 1,050 tons contract has been placed. The Lake Shore

railroad has asked bids on 2.000 tons for bridges, and a Grand Rapids, Mich., hotel will require 2,500 tons. For new steel works buildings at Cleveland ser-

The continued scarcity of merchant bars and steel sheets, which has caused 13 sheet mills of the tin plate company at Gary to be shut down until Sunday night, has resulted In higher prices than general quotations Indicate, with some sales as high as $2.10 per 100 pounds, or $14 a ton above the quoted price of $1.40 per 100 pounds, while premiums of $10 to $12 a ton for prompt shipments are common. . Consumers have practically no stocks on hand, -while stocks at the mills and warehouses are abnormally small. Famine prices are likely to continue for several weeks, while practically no capacity earlier than the fourth quarter is available. ' Much iew Buying. Manufacturing consumers of steel products reinforce the confident views of the steel companies by continued large specifications on their contracts.

two months, which gives puddlers the high rate of $6.60, an advance of 15 cents. Wire and tin plates are the least active lines. In the former speclfications against contracts have been much lighter than was expected. It is explained that large amounts of low priced wire products were taken out late last year to avoid cancellations. Almost daily injulrles come out for small lots of steel billets and sheet bars on which mills cannot make deliveries. A Youngstown open hearth plant which will start up early In April will give some relief, as a part of its steel will go on the market. Eastern steel makers have a 5.000-ton billet Inquiry from Austria-Hungary, but have nothing to offer. Gary Gets Ohio Iron. The pig iron situation has changed to one of larger inquiry In nearly all selling centers, but with no increase in sales. Foundry buyers are sounding the market for third quarter and second half, but are not disposed to payprices recently quoted. Sellers are standing on the current conBumptfon, which shows no falling off. while buyers make much of the recent increase in merchant Iron production. -- Weakness in southern iron is more pronounced, several furnace companies being disposed to meet the $13 level for No. 2 foundry fixed by re-sale iron. In Chicago the central west and eastern Pennsylvania foundry iron declined about 25 cents In the week. After a long wait steel making pig iron is more active. At Pittsburg a sale of 2,500 tons of basis iron ds reported at $17 delivered or $16.10 at Valley furnace, and the same consumer la expected to close for more on the same basis.

ed More School Discipline.

"I don't think enough discipline is demanded in the public schools. Children entertain too much of the do-as-I-please spirit and consequently in later years the line of least resistance is followed more than the narrow path of sacrifice and duty. "For the girls who of necessity have to live in rooming houses I think a law should be passed compelling landlords to maintain a large parlor or reception room in which the girls may entertain their company instead of taking them to their rooms. "May I ask Is there anything In Cnicago customs that permits a young couple to develop the finer sentiments of the heart? What Is there to inspire them to the sweet dreams of romance which they read of every day in, the newspapers and novels? 'Everything is the dance hall, the "movies" and the drinking pavilion. The songs that are

t pushed the hardest are the most vulgar

ones. The shows that one nears the most of are the ones that are filled with vulgar slang and double meaning expressions. . Legislation Alone, Helpless. "Mere legislation never accomplished any good. If we had a law compelling all women to stay out of public places, where drink is sold, that law would be absolutely worthless, unless it had the moral support of every moral citizen. It's agitation and education that produce the good results." In a meeting held recently . at the
