ating with defective equipment in both branches of the railroads-passenge and | frieght.
 I The expert machanists who will have charge of this plant will find included 1 in the furnishing every machine that will be required in turning out the most delicate piece of work connected with broken cars or engines.
 Next to this plant and nearer the Thomas entrance is the roundhouse. This | is half-circle building which will be capable of accommodating 2S or 30 loco motives which have been placed under shelter for repairs. This building is con structed principally of brick. It. however, possesses one unique feature that being the glass work. The entire upper portion of the real walls is made of glass, while at frequent intervals the glass work is substituted for brick. This affords the most volumnious amount of light, en- abling the men to dispense with artifi- cial light while working on the engines. In the center of the half-circle directly facing this building Is located an iron HIS ldDlt IS OptIdleQ Wlt1l compressed air and is self-operating. Any employe has only to touch a button which releases an amount of air capa- ble to turning any giant mogu1 that hap pens to be placed upon the table
 Engine Room
 The engine room of the new plant is one that would delight the eye of any mechanical expert in the district The house will furnish all the power to operate the other machines in the yard. The engine is one of the most modern Corliss giants and has sufficient power to supply capacity for twice as many plants as will call upon 1t. The building in which is located this ma chinery is of concrete. with lowered floor for the giant fly wheels. In the engine room is also a fully equipped electrical plant which will generate suf- ficient power to supply the yards, houses, shops and offices with electric current.
 The electrical power plant is also modern and thoroughly in keeping with the other up-to-date equipment of this new railroad venture.
 The other buildings include a pat ented sand house, which supplies the engines with sand by a mechanical pro- cess, eliminating waste of time and material. The carpenter shops are sit uated adjacent to the machine shops. The men who will work in this place will be practically in the open air, as the building is constructed with a great many windows and several doors

  which permits the placing of cars inside during bad weather while the men are all the while practically in the open.
 The office Buildings, engineers houses, supply houses and oil houses are all constructed of the same mate rials that dominate the greater part of the plant
 The shops will be supplied with wa ter from a nearby spring for drinking purposes. A large pumping station has been erected and the purest of spring water will be pumped to various parts of the plant. In addition the creek nearby will furnish water for the charging of the engines and for com mon use
 Room for 1000 Cars
 The entire property is traversed by 30 storage tracks. These extend about one mile with a storage capacity of 1000 cars per day
 The trains of the three lines will be made up at this point and operated to the west from Thomas as terminal. J. F. Lee, who has been with the Frisco for some time as terminal train master, will be superintendent ohtermi- nals at Thomas. He will be assisted by a large corps of men whose duties will be to expedite traffic in the roomy yards. With such vast amount of room in which to assemble trains and send them to the various team tracks it is expected that freight service on the three roads will be improved to wonderful degree. One thing is sure. If the modern yards and equipment will assist in the solution of any traffio problems the companies occupying Thomas yards will have no troubles.
 The most expert machinists in. this district, who have inspected the yards, pronounce them to be among the best that have ever been constructed in the Birmingham district or in the south. The three companies will occupy them next Sunday.

cost of living to go back to the meth
iods Of housekeeping followed by their
mothers. Coffee Is taken as an exam
pie. The modern housekeeper buys
it at the grocery store already roasted
at 25 cents a pound and upwards. The
green coffee, says Dr.. Wiley, would
cost seven cents a pound. The house
