BIR MINGHAM NOW

THE SHORTAGE OF CARS AND IN.
ADEQUATE RAILWAY FAClLi.
TIES HAS DELAYED SHIPMENTS.
LOCAL PLANTS MAY SUFFER.

There Is a sand famine In Birmingham.
According to some Of the contractors
and builders in the city, the supply of
sand in Birmingham for building purposes
now is the smallest It has been In several
years.
One contractor stated yesterday that he
was unable TO get more than one-third OF
the amount of sand that he needed. and
that he understood that others were in a
similar position.
The shortage of sand seems to be the
direct result of the shortage of cars-the
old story now-and the people who handle
the sand supply state that they have plen-
ty en- route to Birmingham and boun-
tious supply to draw from If they could
only get the railroads to haul it and get
the equipment in which to place it.
They claim that they have several ship
ments of sand that are overdue In Biz
mingham and that If they arrived the
conditions would be materially improved.
If they do not arrive several plants in
the city which use sand will have to
close down temporarily.
They also claim that the railroads are
unable to furnish them with cars In which
to ship the sand to Birmingham, and that
unless the car situation improves there
will be a scarcity of sand for some time
to come.

weather proverbs that were handed down
from generation to generation; but, now
we were confronted with an entirely new
method of weather forecasting, recon-
mended by the leading scientists OF the
day, and indorsed by the governments of
all civilized nations.
Taking an interest in modern progress
we inquired into the process of preparing
a weather bulletin and were told OF high
