LUTHERANS IN FEDERATION
Initial Steps Taken to Unite All Sy-
nods in United States and
Canada
Toledo, April 16.—Initial steps
looking toward a federation of all Lu
theran bodies in this country and Can
ada were announced here yesterday.
Representatives of seven of the general
organizations of the Lutheran church,
meeting here, adopted a tentative con
stitution that will be presented to gen
eral organizations at their next con
ventions. The action of these will be
reported at a meeting to be held in
1017, the place and date to be selected
later.
The synods represent a membership
of more than 1,500,000. The bodies
represented include the Joint Synod of
Ohio and other States, the General Sy
nod, the lowa Synod, the Danish Sy
nod, the General Council, the Synod
of Canada and the Syuod of the South.
The plan to federate all the Luther
an bodies of the United States, having
an aggregate membership of 2,250,000
communicants, hus received an impetus
from the forthcoming celebration of
the 400 th anniversary of the beginning
of the Reformation, which will be ob
served in 1917. The proposition is not
to bring the numerous branches of the
Lutheran church into organic unity,
but to bind them in a strong federation.
"There is a growing sentiment for
unity, particularly among the younger
clergy," said the Rev. Dr. Charles L.
Pry, secretary of the Church Extension
Society of the General Council. "All
branches of the Lutheran church will
observe the great anniversary in 1917,
and it is proposed to take advantage
«>f the enthusiasm and promote the fed
eration movement.
"The great barrier to the success
of the movement is tho languages. We
have large bodies of Lutherans in this
country who speak only Swedish, while
others speak Norwegian, Finnish, Dan
ish, Icelandic, German and Slovak. If
all could speak the same language, the
movement would be certain to suc
ceed."
End of the World
"You said when you asked me to
marry you that you would go to ilie
end of tho world for me."
"And so [ will, but the end of tho
world is so far off that I can't get to it
until the end of the world."—Houston

A v Simple Way To
Remove Dandruff j
There is one sure way that has never
failed to remove dandruff at once, and
that is to dissolve it, then you destroy
it entirely. To do this, just get about
four ounces of plain, common liquid
nr\on from any drug store (this is all
you will need), apply it at night when
retiring; use enough to moisten the
scalp and rub it iu gently with the
finger tips.
By morning, most if not all, of your
dandruff will be gono, and three or four
more applications will completely dis
solve and entirely destroy every single
sign and trace of it, no matter how
much dandruff you may have.
You will find all itching and digging
of the scalp will stop instantly, and
your hair will be fluffy, lustrous, glossy,
silky and soft, and look and feel a hun
dred timeß better.—Adv.

T9E STEEL MILLS ARE BUSY.
BUTTRAOE BOOM BLACKING
Export Business Expanding, Although
Home Demand Is Small—The Con
sumption, However, Appears to be
Gradually on the Increase
New York, April 16.—"The Iron
Age'' says the steel trade is going on
in its own orderly way, scarcely meas
uring up to the scale of prosperity at
tributed to it hi some quarters. Con
sumption, which seems to be gradually
increasing, counting in steel that is
going abroad;, is for T;he time being
greater than new buying.
The expansion in export business has
been marked in the past six weeks.
March contracts with foreign buyers of
iron anil steel products were probably
in excess of 250,000 tons, not includi
ing 100,000 tons of shrapnel bars re
cently closed for France. No order
has yet been placed here for 40,000
tons of rails for France, as reported,
and the fantastic story of a largo
French order for bridges to span the
Khine scarcely needs denial.
A vast amount of shrapnel business
has been and is still being distributed
in country by a Canadian interest
which has an $8,000,000 contract with
Russia, but with this as with a gooii
deal else in war supply lines there
are complications which make negoti
ations long drawn out. The disposition
is growing to proceed very conserva
tively in regard to war contracts where
manv intermediaries are at work.
With half of April gone, there is
some light on the situation as to prices
of plates, shapes and bars, which were
advanced to 1.20 c., Pittsburgh, by
leading manufacturers. Less weakness
has appeared than a part of the trade
predicted, yet new business in these
lines is still limited. Sales of bars and
shapes have been made at 1.20 c., Pitts
burgh, and Pittsburgh mills have taken
plate business at 1.15 c., while some
Ohio plate mills have sold as low as
1.10 c., Pittsburgh.
Some interest is shown in agricul
tural contracts for bars, but at 1.20 c.,
Pittsburgh, the price is now $2 a ton
above that at which most of last year's
business was placed. Some concessions
have been made in recent sales of rein
forcing bars.
At Chicago, plate mill operations
have been at a limping rate, so little
car work coming out, and one mill was
idle all of last week. The Chicago &
Northwestern has decided to buy 2,000
box cars and 50 steel passenger cars^
Surprisingly, fabricating contracts
booked in March, including elevated
work and several large jobs figured on
in preceding llionths, ran up to 64 per
cent, of a month's capacity,
tine basis of 2,100,000 tons a year. In
the eight months of the war, the aver
age of such work has bfen less than 35
per cent, of capacity.
In the lighter steel products the mar
ket has gone on in a humdrum way.
Sheets have developed some weak spots,
especially in galvanized, which have
been offered to jobbers at 3.25 c. to
3.30 c. at Central Western mill. Tin
plate shipments in March were the
largest for one month in over a year.
Wire products are less active, particu
larly fencing, and there is no indication
of speculative buying.
A differential has developed in the
sheet bar trade, Bessemer bars having
sold at S2O, Youngstown, as against
sl9 .50 for open-hearth. American bil
lets have sold at 135 shillings c.i.f.
Liverpool, or $32.85, and even at pres
ent freights such business is quite at
tractive.
Reports agree that the melt of foun
dry iron is gradually increasing, due
chiefly to the larger operation of ma
chinery foundries. The malleable trade
mends more slowly.
Southern furnaces have generally
succeeded in holding the $9.50 basis
for No. 2 iron, though pipe interests set
out to establish a $9 price in their re
cent buying. Sales of one Alabama in
terest were 75,000 tons in one week
of the movement.
One eastern Pennsylvania steel com
pany has bought 45,000 to 50,000
tons of basic iron in the past week.
Furnaces had little success in the ef
fort to get an advance, most pf this
iron going at or below $13.25, deliv
ered. In the Chicago district some ba
sic iron has been sold for St. Louis de
livery and 10,000 tons is still pending
at St. Louis.

"Little Mary Mack"
'"Little Mary Mack," a new music
al comedy, will make its first appear
ance here at the Majestic theatre to
morrow afternoon and evening. This
production will go to Philadelphia im
mediately after its engagement here
and after several weeks in that city
will be an attraction on Broadway.
"Little Mary Mack" has many claims
to distinction, its authors having given
to the playgoers a strictly American
musical comedy, thus chattering all
precedent. —Adv.*
"Tlie Ham Tree"
It is said that John Oort has given
Mclntyre and Heath one of the best
productions these world famous com
edians ever had in his magnificent re
vival of the successful musical comedy
"The Ham Tree," which comes to the
Majestic Saturday afternpon and even
ing, April 24. Mclntyre and Heath
ha've been before the pulblic in negro
acts for nearly forty years, and they
are regarded by all authorities of the
stage as the two ablest men in their
line of impersonation. They are sur
rounded by an excellent company,
which includes a great chorus of dan
cing girls and boys. A dancing team
of thirty of America's best soft shoe
buck and wing dancers appear in one
feature of the performance. "The Ham
Tree," is a notable play not only be
cause of its departure from the beat
en paths in musical productions, but
also from the standpoint of scenery,
costumes and equipment. The large
oast of principals/ includes some well
known musical comedy favorites.

At the Regent
The Gustave fc'rohman production of
Fairy and the Waif," at the
'Regent theatre to-night is a timely
story that deals with the outbreak of
the great European war. Children will
be especially interest in the juvenile
actors, Mary Miles M.inter, Percy Hel
ton and Willie Archie, who will delight
them with their pathos and humor
while the grown-ups will be gripped
by their acting and the plot of tho
play. The pretty little daughter of a
British army oliicer, left alone when
her father was called to the front,
drifted into a theatre and became a
fairy in a Christmas production. At
the dress rehearsal she fell from a
cloud. She was not injured but was «o
berated by the staige manager that she
rushed out into the night in her fairy
costume' .and disappeared. The waif
sees her and believes that his prayer
has been answered. 51 any pathetic eq
uations follow and the plav is finally <
brought to a happy ending. To-morrow
Manager Mnguro will show "The Val
ley of the Missing," a dim already
seen by thousands and proclaimed to
be one of the greatest successes of the
present day.—Adv*

On the same bill with him are the
