ALABAMA AUTHORS AT STATE FAIR

Mrs Roberta Harris Winn's booth at
 the State Fair, besides being an inno-
 vation, is one of the most interesting
 places in the woman's building The
 Alabama authors are represented by
 their works and by their photographed likenesses as we'll The booth Is but quietly adorned though comfortable and
 tasteful in it's appointments. Several
 large plants, inviting chairs and a cab
 met of curios practically complete it's arrangement but the shelf of books
 which borders the walls and the table
 on which Is strewn music and maga-
 zines indigenous to the state, the pho tographs and sketches add decoration
 of their own sort. But the prettiest
 thing in the booth Is Mrs. Winn herself,
 the clever and vivacious young editor of the Powder Puff" ~
 Mrs. Vim is sendeavoring to gather
 the literature of Alabama to establish
 a room in the public library.s The col lection of books and photographs in the fair booth is the nucleus of the proposed room, and is a fairly good start toward an excellent plan for pre- serving and fostering literary develop ment in the state. There are to be found u number of most interesting ob- jeets--the first volume of Howard Weeden's poems, Shadows on the Wall'-issued from the press original Howard Weeden sketches; Mrs. William Byrd's book, "Marston Hall" which was written for the benefit of the yellow fever sufferers; Zitella Cocke's books
 and clippings from yellowed newspa- kpers describing and eulogizing this early Alabama author. Martha & Gie-
 lows books; Miss 4rrances Nimmo Greene's; Annie Kendrick Walkers; ] T. c. DeLeon's; Kate Slaughter Me- Kinney's; Sterling's and scores of oth- CTS which are a revelation as to Ala
 bama's wealth in a literary way. A section of the booth is given over to magazine and newspaper writer's and i their work, the musical compositions
 of Alabamians have their especial niche. This ubooth has the same tendency to he noted in others near it-that of iarousing ambition for better achieve ment visit with the enthusiastic and charming little woman in charge is well worth while.

During a few weeks just passed
there has been considerable discus
sion of the street-tree question and
the writer has been appealed to by
officials and others of local civil or
CARNATIONS to figuratively come CD
in: the waters fine" This movement
came up at least three months too
late, for the agitators were told that
the city had not funds for the plant
ing or care of street trees and that
the annual budget had just been
passed. 1t is hoped that a powerful
and well-organized effort will be made
early in 1918, when it may prove eff
fectual But how shall we hope to
get ANYTHING esthetic from city
council composed entirely Of aver
age business men? That class should
be in the majority, but we need at
least one who will persistently look
to and work for the esthetic phase OF
the city's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

Careful examination of the target showed that
out of the full magazine of fifty cartridges dis
charged by the gun operator, forty-fiye shots had
hit the mark. The other five shots, the gunner
explained. had been sent into a nearby fsh-pond
in order that he might get by the splash of the
water, an instantaneous report of the accuracy
of his aim. The fact that this was the first time
the gun had been taken aloft, together with the
trueness of the aim shown by the examina-
ton of the target, spoke emphatically then and
there of the great possibilities of fleets of aero
planes loaded with these rapid-fre guns, soaring
over column of the enemy's troops
The potential result of swooping aircraft
ed to the teeth with death-dealing bullets is stag
gering to ordnance officers of the army and navy
who discuss it. Where will this lead?" they ask.
1t is possible that the air is to harbor the greatest
destructive forces in modern warfare? There
seems nothing to prevent it.
This remarkable aeroplane gun is the invention
of Lieut.Col Isaac N. Lewis of the United States
army coast artillery corps. Curiously enough,
the gun was designed primarily for infantry and
cavalry use. Later however, Colonel Lewis was
impressed with its possibilities for use in aIro-
planes
Heretofore the difficulties which have stood IN
the way of serviceable guns for aeroplanes have
been difficulty in manipulation too great freight,
terrific recol which would knock the fral craft
out of gear. and fame from the rifle which would
endanger the machine.
In the Lewis gun these difficulties are elmf-
mated. Ihere is no smoke-no hame-on the
sound of the explosion tells that the gin has been
fired. There is no recon and the qua is so bal
anced by the magazine that the aim Is not even
interrupted while the gun is being fired. 1t can
be fired at high a rate as $50 shots minute
but the rate may be reduced to $50 shots per
minute or to any number between these limits.
by simple adjustment of the gasport valve con-
trolling the admission of the gas to the piston
cylinder. When firing at full speed it takes ap-
proximately four seconds to discharge maya
zine of fifty cartridges, and the empty magazine
may be replaced by full one within two seconds.
1t might naturally be supposed that such rapid
fty of firing would soon overhead the barrel of
the gun and render it temporarily useless. One
of the distinguishing features of the gun, how
ever, is a device whereby the barrel is kept con-
tnually cool by automatically produced blasts of
air. The barrel of the gun is surrounded by
closeftting aluminium jacket, cylindrical in form
and having some twenty deepIycut longitudinal
grooves extending from breech to muzzIe Out
side of this jacket is light steel tube three and
