From nearly every plant in iie region comes the report that outputs have increased during the menth f November, and that there is every itasun to believe that pn.Kiuct.ion per-t-ntages will continue toward normal. One of the larger plants of the district, the Sieel and Tul Company of America, has pushed its production fi em 4i per cent to 80 per cent. The recent blowing in t.f a stack and t'ae start inn up of the Bessemer h;ts givtn this industry its high percentage. The Inland Steel Company, hovering n round 3d and o5 per cent mark th hist two or three months, has ciniih.-.l into a 45 per cent berth.

It Is a concrete shaft about four feet j in height surmounted by a sun dial jand Is a memorial to Adam, The First ; Man. A resident of Baltimore conceived the idea that Adam deserved Some sort of a memorial and at once set about to see that our common ancestor was so honored. At first he -sought a place for it in the city but the City Fathers did not look with favor on the memorial so the man decided to erect it on the lawn of hi3 country homo about five miles from the Monumental City. For a time it caused a sensation and hundreds of j people Journeyed out to see the unique j shaft which stands Tipon the lawn I close to the public highway. It bers the .ample inscription "To the Mem- , ory of Adam, The First Man." It is j on an SO per cent harH. The opening up of railway equipment buying has kept the General American Tank Car Corporation in the region t.f ncnwl i.inruuuiis.

He belongs to all of us, and in my opinion he is eniiilcd to be honored by the whole world as the father of us all. and I do hope that my example will be followed and a grand work of art set up in hi honor." Fo far, nobody has come forward 'with plans for a more extensive tribute. This same man later erected a smaller shaft nlose by as a monument to the memory of the American Constitution which he claimed had been killed by certain legislation.

its charter obtained and sufficient stock subscribed to warrant the commencement of the work it was decided that this work should be Inaugurated with tome ceremony and that the first stone should bo laid on July 4th, 1828, the fifty-second anniversary of American independence. Charlc-9 Carroll of Carrollton, the only living signer of the Declaration was selected to break ground and to lay the stone. Today it marks the spot of the begin

ning of the first railroad in the coun i: try and one which now ranks Irish among the great transportation .v. terns of the United States. The occasion was a memorable one as there was a sreat parade In which men of all professions and trades took part. At sunrise a grand national salute wai fired on Federal Hill and flags were displayed on the ships in the harbor and on business houses. At eight o'clock the procession moved. , shown by the people along the route, There was a display of oratory and plenty of mu-sic when the stone was put in place. At tht time the scene

Its inhabitant at that time consisted of fifty settlers and fifty soldiers, I. titer Cadillac became the Governor of Louisiana, afterward retumin- t France, where he died. Memorial To Birds. Thrifty Salt Lake City recently erected a monument to the sea gulU, whoso coining saved the crops of the Mormons in the pioneer days. It Is said to be the only memorial in the world set up ln honor of birds. It Is a Doric column of white marble surmounted by a huge ball upon whlc sit two bronze gulls. Tho Government's Contribution. The United States Government, too, Is responsible for a chain of queer markers or monuments which sho.v the line between Mexico and the United States from the Paclflo Ocean to the Rio Grande. They are huge granite shafts not unlike battlefield memorials and are surrounded by iron fences. There is nothing either artistic or beautiful about them, their only merit being their sl2e. Another monument, while beautlfuj as a work of art seems out of order in the United States. It Is that of Joan of Aro, which stands on Riverside Drive in New York City. The golden figure of the militant Joan on a charger Jooks out with raised s-.vord over the lordly Hudson. "While he whole makeup of the memorial la artistic ln the extreme one wonders why this martial lady who had nothing whatever to do with our country's history rhould be so honored. However, the monument adds onc more to the "something different" memorials ef our land.
