AU.ENT0WN. ru, Sept 22.-Todajr Is
"ladles Day" at the great Allentown
Pair, the time of visitors being devoted
chiefly to an examination of the many
thousands of articles exhibited by tho
women. No less an authority than former
Governor Pennypacker declared that the
women's display was tho most Interest
ing of all the exhibits. "That the women
of Lhlgh County are skilled In making
embroidery, quilts and other articles of
wear, as well as Jama, butter, bread and
the manifold delicacies for the table,"
aid Judge Pennypacker, "Is a great
credit. It shows that the girls ere reared
In a proper manner from childhood to
take their places as mothers of substan
tial families."
The exhibit of the women is wonderful.
Including probably 80,000 articles In the
Una of kitchen and other household prod
ucts and specimens of skill with the
needle.
After the men had paid compliments
to tho women they passed on to see the
great farm displays, from seed wheat to
pumpkins, and also visited the great dis
play of agricultural machinery, which
eorers 11 acres, not counting the motor
oar exhibit, with more than 100 of the
newest cars on display,
lAn exhibition that Is missing this year
to that of the suffragists. Miss Ladson
KaU, Btftte organizer of the Pennsylvania
Association for 'Woman Suffrage, Is In
AUentown, but she said Allentown

Btate for making progress for the cause,
and decided to work In another manner
than exhibiting at the fair. The hooth

pied as a Red Cross tent, In charge of
Dr. N. C E. Guth, Altentown's health
officer, and eight nurses. They give

STEEL ORDERS FLOOD
PLANTS; MORE COMING
x Entire Output Far Into Next
Year Purchased, Thanks
to War
Bteel makers throughout the United
Btates are deluged with orders for steel
Jltrnlls and war munitions. So much busi
ness has been contracted for that all the
big mills will bo running at full time for
the rest of the year, and representatives
of the large companies have announced
that they cannot accept any more orders
for this year.
Contracts for 1916 delivery already are
being made, while big foreign orders for
delivery this year ore going begging. Since
September, 1,153.050 tons of steel rails have
been ordered, of which 114,100 tons ore for
United States railroads, the rest going to
Russia and other countries.
Agents of France and Italy will place
hlg orders for shrapnel steel for delivery
in the first three months of 1916 within
a short time. Inquiries have, been made
for more than 250,000 tons of billets, bars
and blooms for war materials. The
French Government agents are attempt
ing to close for 60,000 tons of forging bil
lets for delivery this year, at Pittsburgh.
Apart from the prosperity due to war
orders, there has been a sudden Increase
of activity on tho part of domestic enter
prises. The locomotive business especial
ly has taken a Jump, Baldwins having
,, obtained orders for 63 since September 1
and the Lima Locomotive Company for
8 in the same period. Numerous con
tracts have been closed also for struc
tural steel.

Police Court Chronicles
A vivid imagination often enables Her
bert Robinson to be happy. He Is a
quiet Negro of very regular habits. His
habits plus his Imagination, perhaps,
led him to mistake the hard car tracks
near 40th and Markot streets for his
comfortable bed at home. Before lying
down to rest on tho railway Herbert
put a watermelon on the ground Just
where his head would strike, and It
made a comfortable pillow.
He was snoring contentedly when a
policeman saw him by chance and
aroused him with a few whacks on the
foot.
Robinson opened one lazy eye and said
he didn't have to get up till S o'clock.
But the cop convinced him that he had
2
month
to arise Immediately He stood Herbert
on his feet and took him and the melon
before Magistrate Harris.
Tho wabbly condition of the prisoner's
legs showed that he had been partaking
of something stronger than watermelon,
"You took tho pledge a year ago," tald
the Judge.
"Das right," said Herbert.
"You've been' drunk every
since," tne Judge added.
"Guess I have," said-Herbert
"You've been drunk every week," de
clared the Judge. '
"Ouess I have," repeated Herbert
'And you haye been drunk every day,"
asserted the Judge. K
"Ouess, I have." mumbled Herbert
"And you're drunk now." thundered the
Magistrate,
"Ouess I am," agreed Herbert
"What do you think of yourself T" tbs
Judge inquired,

Herbert
He was allowed to sober up. Then he
