HIS NATAL DAY IS RECALLED Father of Seel Industry in ' .Poor Health. .

(National New Association) BETHLEHEM, V Aug. 22. John Fritz, known far and wide as , the father of the steel Industry In the United States, attained his ninetieth birthday anniversary yesterday. . The dinner given at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York ten years ago in celebration of the eightieth girthday of Mr. Fritz is still remembered as one of the most remarkable gatherings ever assembled in this country of captains of invention and industry and the central figures of finance allied with the iron trade. It was hoped that some similar affair might be held to commemorate Mr. Frlti's ninetieth year, but the precarious condition of his health caused the idea to be abandoned. For the past six months the .veteran Ironmaster has been in very poor health and during much of 'the time has been bedfast. During this time messages of inquiry and cheer have been received at his home almost daily from leading men in the iron and steel world, from Andrew Carnegie down to the active present day plant managers, many of whom in years; past were numbered among . Mr, Fritz's i'bOye." John Fritz long ago earned his title cf father of the steel industry not by any single Invention or discovery, but by a contribution of new devices, new methods and practical work in building up the industry in the United States.' With only a district school education, gained near his birthplace in the middle part of Pennsylvania, he gained a position in the steel industry that has been recognized by the whole world. At the age of 16 Mr. Fritz left his father's farm to work in a country machine shop, with a view of learning the trade of a machinist. After various experiments in steel making at Morristown and Safe Harbor, he went to Johnstown, where he remodeled an old mill and built what is how known j as the Cambria Iron Works. It was j at this period that, in connection with his brother, George, he designed and erected the well known "three high bloomers," with their automatic tables and the "three high mill." These inventions started an economical revolution in steel manufacture. , When the United States government Eome twenty-five years ago, decided to build a modern navy of armor-plated vessels equipped with guns of great calibre, there was no. plant in the country where the plates, guns and forgings for such ships could be made. Bethlehem was selected as the site for the projeoted plant and Mr. Fritz was chosen as the man to build it. He went to Europe and spent somemonths in studying the plate and gun making plants there, and wbeivhe returned he built, plant that surpassed its Euro pean models.. Among other features it contained the greatest hammer and the most powerful press in the world. When Mr. Fritz built this, the first armor plant in America, such men as Schwab, Corey and others who subsequently became famous in the. steel industry, were stilt .boys. Mr. . Fritz is the nly man now living of' the small grown that introduced into the United States the' Bessemer steel process. A great economical revolution was thus effected, from which has flowed the tremendous development, seen today in steel manufacture in the United States. In 1893 the British Iron and Steel Institute gave Mr. Fritz the Bessemer gold medal, which is the highest distinction a steelmaker can receive. HOW. TO STUDY CHARACTER. Interesting Use of Mental Powers Is Close Observation of Paces. Study the facen you see nnd try to form some Idea of the characters of their owners. Notice ears, noses mouths, eyes, chins. Observe how few Wiiutlful mouthiv and ears you will find compared with other features. It is an Interesting use of your mental ; powers, this study of fates, nnd will tench you sympathy, if nothing more. If you find yourself without faces to study, then memorize verses, phrases or numbers to retain your memory. Learn to recall tbe numbers of a doien or a score of your acquaintances' homes. Instead of always referring to an address boob. - . 1 Commit the vrords of songs to membry even it you do hot sing it will make you popular with people who do or memorize a doteu lines of prose from the daily paper If you have nothing else at hand, just for practice. , It is better than allowing your brain forces to become weak and slipshod from lack of direction. Make the most of the odd ends of time, and you wilt make tbe most of yourself with little cost and no toss. , Hew to Treat Auto Tires In Winter. , Now that some automoblllsts are laying up their cars, for the winter information as to the proper care of tires during this period Is timely. The following advice Is bein spread broadcast by the Firestone: ; First jack hp car 'off all tires and allow enough air to escape to release the internal pressure on the fabric, but not euough to totally collapse tbe ln- . ner tube. The tires in this condition . should be kept from heat and wrapped to exclude the light, tf tbe tires are in perfect condition this wilt suffice: otherwise obserre the following ; directions: ' " '" Take off the tires, Clean outside care- - fully, removing all dirt. wll. grease and foreign material. Do not allow water to geS Inside the casing. If any of the cuts penetrates to the fabric hare the tire Inspected by a competent repair man and repaired or retreated, as deemed advisable. '.Vrap eacti casing and tube In paper or-cloth to, keep away light aa4 air and store tires in a cost, dark place. Clean all rust off the Inside of rims and polish with graphite or stove polish to prevent further rust

TWO TOO MANY DOORS i

Railroad Men Object to Rear Doors to Saloon. Protest is being raised by the officials of the local division of the Penn sylvania Railroad company over the j fact that the three-cornered building, erected at the corners of North Eighth and E streets and Washington avenue, and which is to be used for a bar room, has two rear doors. The officials of the company contend that drunks will wander out of the rear doors and onto the railroad tracks, where they might be injured or killed. The company's officials say that there 6hould be no rear doors to the saloon, and that the only entrance and exit to it should be on the North E street side. Just how the owners of the building and the lesee will take this protest is not known. IMPROPER FOOD IS FATAL TO INFANT Improper artificial feeding was the indirect cause of the death of Robert E. Wagner, the three-months-old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wagner, Southwest Seventh street, according to the verdict of Coroner Pierce, filed today at the court house. The coroner's verdict states that the child died August 17th. Testimony given the coroner by the father was to the effect that the latter worked all of the time and paid ho attention to the baby, and did not know it was ill. The mother's testimony was to the effect that the baby was delicate, but that she believed it would be- all right. VERDICT ON DEATH OF STANLEY FILED Homer Stanley, the young man who died as the results of injuries sustained in an accident August 6, on the National road, west of the city, either fell or jumped from the top of the "tower car," according to the coroner's verdict. Stanley, who was an employe of the traction company was riding on the "tower tar " which was being pushed by another work car. When almost Immediately : n front of the Earlham college oampus, the 'tower car" Jumped he track and Stanley either fell or jumped,, alighting in front of the work car. The second car ran over Stanley's limbs both legs being practically amputated. Death resulted from the injuries sustained. DANGEROUS POISON IVY. How to Tell This Plant From Virginia Creeper. A correspondent writes that he was recently poisoned by mistaking poison ivy for Virginia creeper. He asks If we can tell him how to tell oue plant from the other. It is the easiest thing In tbe world to do this. Poison ivy has n three parted leaf, ampelopsis or Virginia creeper a five parted leaf. The latter is of rampant climbing hubit. Poison ivy seldom grows to a greater height than three feet. It may over run an old stump or a heap of stones snd hove the appearance of beiDg a vine, but a close examination will show you that it does not really climb. It generally makes a bushy growth, semilog up a mass of slender stems from its spreading roots and covering u considerable amount of space. If one turtles the structure of the peculiarities of the two plants it will be impossible to mistake one for the other. Some persons complain that they find it difficult to exterminate poison Ivy. They mow it down aud in a little while it sprouts and before long there is more of It than ever. It cannot be killed by simply mow ing It. But if after mowing it tbe ground in which it grows Is sprinkled with kerosene and burnt over it is not n difficult thing to kill. All tbe roots may not be killed with one application however. If some of them send up sprouts cut these off close to the ground snd pour kerosene over the stub and about it, enough to saturate the boII well. This will generally put an end to the nuisance. Hew to Dye s Straw Hat. A last year's straw hat may be successfully dyed if you follow the directions given with a package of dye. The fact that the white straw has become discolored by the sun and sea air will not matter provided you select a fairly dark color for tbe dyeing. And do not throw away old flowers because they are faded, but get a tube of oil paint of any color desired, mix a little of it with gasoline and with a brush touch up the flowers until they are of the right shade. How to Make English Monkey. The rule for English monkey calls for a cupful of rich milk heated and mixed with a cupful of Soft breadcrumbs. As soon as this mixture boils stir in a cupful of fresh dairy cheese that has been cut Into small pieces and When It is melted and smooth stir in the well beaten yolks of three eggs. At the last fold in the stiffly beaten whites ef the eggs and serve on toast Made right this souffle will not falL How to Clean Berries. Now that -the strawberry season Is here an excellent way to cleanse the berries and destroy all germ's is to place them In a colander, rinse in cold water, hull and then pour orer boiling water, drain and follow immediately by cold water, which leaves the berries bright, firm and plump, free from all objectionable matter.
