fTwo Fires Last Night
Caused by Fireworks
The local fire companies were
called out three times last night.
The first alarm was sounded about
II o'clock last evening. The roof
•of a house on Ridge street had
I been set on fire by fireworks. The
[blaze was extinguished with little
• difficulty. About a half hour later |
an alarm was sounded from Third
•and Swatara streets, where a leak j
(in the hose attached to a gas lamp
itook fire. The damage done was j
) small. i
About 4 o'clock this morning an
(alarm was sounded from South Har- j
trisburg street. The rear of the
IProwell home was found ablaze. The ,
fire was put under control by firemen ;
'Jiving in the vicinity before the
•Citizen Company arrived on the
scene. Damage to the extent of ap
proximately a hundred dollars was
•caused by the flames. It is thought
that this fire was caused by the
• smouldering remains of fireworks.

SATURDAY EVENING,
PIG IRON OUTPUT
SHOWS INCREASE
Means a Turn in Steel Indus
try, Declares the
Iron Age
New I ork, July s. —June pig iron
output shows definitely the turn in
the industry, according to the iron
Age. For the 30 days thy total was
2,114,863 gross lons, or 70.495 tons a.
day, against 2.108,056 tons in May,,'
or 68,001 tons a day. Seventeen fur--
naces blew in and 12 blew out lastt
month, a gain of five, and estimated!
capacity active on July 1 was 71,-j
700 tons a day for 200 furnaces, as
compared with 68,600 tons a day for
195 furnaces on June 1.
The gain in output last month was
the first check to a steady decline In
the daily average from the high point
reached ' in September. 1918, at 113,-1
942 tons. From 372 furnaces in blast ;
September 1. last year, the shrinkage !
was 177 in nine months to 195 on!
June 1. The gain of 2.500 tons a!
day in production last month over'
the average in May is likely to be i
carried further in July.
Pittsburgh producers estimate that I
new orders sent to the mills for roll- |
ing in June and June specifications
against contracts were 60 per cent '
heavier than in May. while in wire '
and tubular products they were nearly '
double.
A shortage of labor is looming up '
as more than a possibility in the I

Central West, some producers there
questioning whether blast furnace
and steel works forces will be ade
quate for the scale of operations they
consider likely in the fall months.
Many more workers are planning to
return to Europe and at some blast
furnaces a scarcity of common labor
is noticed already. Idle men at the
gates of steel mills are now scarcely
a factor.
The demand for oil line pipe is par
ticularly good. The Texas Company
has been a free buyer and drilling
plans of other companies look a year
ahead. The Sinclair project to paral
lef the present oil line from Okla
homa to Texas would mean 150 miles
of S-ln. and over 300 miles of 6-ln.
pipe. One pipe mill sold up for three
months had to refuse a 25.000-ton
; order.
June was the best month in the
j sheet trade since October. Two mills
i that have led in cutting prices now
I have a backlog of orders and some
thing like an oldtime pressure for
j deliveries is coming front the auto
| mobile industry.

DESPITE THREAT
MADE BY REDS
W idesprcad Publicity Is Be
lieved to Be Responsible
For Quietness
New York. July 5. New York
sweltered through the hottest
Fourth of July in its history with
out a sign of the anurchist bomb
plot which had been heralded and
against which eluborate preparations
had been made by Federal agents,
police and State guardsmen.
The widespread publicity that at
tended the city's plans to guard
against further bomb outrages was
believed to have been largely re
sponsible for the uuietness of (he
day which radical quarters had
hinted would be given a "red"
tinge.
A sudden burist of "Fourth" pa
triotism on the part of the owner
of a building in which the 1. W. W.
have maintained headquarters here
resulted in the ousting of the or
ganization without notice.

ELKS QUIETLY
DID BIT IN WAR
Without Publicity and With
out Asking Anybody
For a Penny
Atlantic City, July s.—The Be
nevolent and Protective Order of
Elks will hold its annual convention
at the Hotel Traymore during the
week of Jiily 7—a victory and peace
convention. While th:s Elks did their
bit in the war, both at home and
abroad, they kept out of the light
of publicity and asked no one for a
penny. And they claim that Amer
ica's victory is the Elks' victory, for
the iirst essential of an Elk is that
he is an American through and
through. No questions of creed or
of political faith are asked. Cath
olics, Jews and Protestants are wel
come in the order, but the one out
standing requisite for a member is
that he be 100 per cent. American.
When America entered the war
the Elks didn't wait to be asked to
help; they presented themselVvt in
any and all capacities In which they
could help. They gave up their
clubhouses for the needs of the
Government. Tliey helped to sell
Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps, helped the Bed Cross and
the Salvation Army, started the iirst
relief committee, huilt the first re
construction ho % tal before any of
oi boys had been wounded, and
50,000 Elks shouldered rifles and
marched to the war, many of them
never to return.
RETURN OF PEACE
CELEBRATED AT •
NATION'S CAPITAL
Display of Pageantry and

A 4!
ft J/ Associated Press.
Washington, July 5. Return of
world peace was the dominating i
spirit of Washington's celebration of
Independence Day. Pageantry in
which the calls of Industry and other
civilian occupations to returning sol
diers and sailors were displayed, and
a parade in which all of the nations
arrayed against Germany and Aus
tria were represented were the fea
tures of the observance.
Seven pageants given on the lawns
of public buildings, were merged into
a great pageant entitled the "offer
ing of peace" which showed the peo
ples of the world having passed
through the horrors of war, return
ing with courage and anticipation to
the pursuits of peace.
Embassies and legations of all the
Allied and Associated governments
had floats in the parade which moved
down Pennsylvania avenue from the
White House to the capitol.
Fireworks on the Washington
monument grounds closed the day's
celebration which was held under
the auspices of the War Camp Com
munity Service.
