 ON PLANT SHORTLY
Southern Car and Foundry
 COmpany's New Plans
PRESENT CAPACITY 30 CARS
As Modern Cars, However. Are Com pIex only About 25 to 30 a Day Are Manufactured at
 Present.

The authoritative statement having been made by representatives of the syn dicate which recently acquired control of the Southern Car and Foundry com- pany that the company's projected steel car plant at Ensley would be erected without delay. 1t is regarded here as probable that the building material will be assembled within the next few weeks. At the general offices of the company no information could be obtained yester- day concerning this plant further than what had already been published.
 The Plane.
 The plans for the steel car works as drawn a year or more ago, included a malleable mill and the most approved modern machinery. contract was made with the Tennessee Coal Iron and Rail- road company for the steel supply. Pres- ident Don H. Bacon of the Tennessee company said last night that although 1t had been some time since the agreement was entered into. there would be no trouble about furnishing the steel when- ever the Southern Car and Foundry com pany was ready for it.
 The ground purchased for the car plant was expensive on account of the heavy grading that had to be done, but Presi- dent J. M Elliott remarked at the time that there could be no question about the economy of the outlay, because of the proximity of the site to both the steel works and the coal mines.
 President Elliott spent yesterday at Gadsden and today he will go to Annis- ton He is expected in Birmingham to- morrow.
 Nh Change.
 It is understood that inere will be no change in the official organization of the Southern Car and Foundry company, at least for the present. The company's business Is in a fiourishing condition and the physical properties which the compa- ny operates are said to be in excellent shape.
 The Southern Car and Foundry conn pany has a capacity for turning out fifty plain cars day, but as many of the cars used today are complex in construc- tion, the average output is now only about twenty-five or thirty cars day, the total money value being equal to that of fifty ''old timers" The unusual de- mand for cars in the last two years has caused congestion in all the car works of the country, but the Southern Car and Foundry company has1 had less trouble in this respect than most of the others. It has running contracts on it's books for nearly 4OO0 cars, and they will all be delivered within the next six months.
 The Coosa Furnace.
 The company's Coosa furnace at Gads- den, which was acquired a few months ago. has been rebuilt and enlarged. It Is now second to no charcoal furnace in the country. It has been running iron for two weeks. It is making about thirty tons a day but 1t will soon be up to it's capacity of forty or fifty tons.
 The Southern Car and Foundry com pany has never had commissary at any Of its plants, and the steel car works at Ensley will be operated on the all-cash nay basis.

ADVANCEMENT I'm sU,ge-x

Three or four years ago we read OF
Chicago policeman who was so badly
wounded that by means of a mirror
held above his breast he. was enabled
to see his own heart. His recovery
was then considered remarkable. Now
our attention is called to a negro in
"a st. Louis hospital, who was stabbed
IN the heart. The wound in that organ
was so wide and deep that it was nee
essary to take several stitches to hold
it together, yet he is in a fair way to-
recover, such has been the rapid adj
vancementin surgery.

they are all made of thin sheet metal

pose of ena bling workmen to get a Sc

G1a.. walls stop Sound.

Who would have supposed that a
partition of sheet lead would prove
less effective in cutting off the passage
of sound than a partition of glass of
equal thickness? One instinctively ex-
poets his voice to be carried through
a sheet of glass to the ears of person
seen sitting on the other side, while
lead might well be thought to exercise
a deadening effect on sound. Yet .ex-
periments, reported at a recent meet
ing of the American Physical society,
show that a wall of lead transmits
sound better than a wall of glass. The
conclusion drawn from the expert
ments was that, other things bein g
equal, the medium which yields most
to steady pressure best transmits
sound.
