FROM STEEL RAILS TO DENTAL BURRS"
ISyBRAND NEW SLOGAN FOR BIRMINGHAM

The machinery of the company is man.
every part they use in the manufacture
of dental burrs is made by their own
mechanician, excepting very small in
strument, which is used to give the proper
heading to the burr. This is a small
casting, and cannot be bought in Bir-
mingham. The company's mechanician
made one. but it was learned that they
could be purchased much cheaper in the
form of cast and this was done. All
the material that goes into the making
OF dental burrs is bought from Birrning-
ham companies.
The Birmingham Dental Burr company
has an authorized capitalization of $780,
600. The men at the head of the enter
prise are: Frank s. Address, G. L. Young
blood and J. W. Hanchey Mr.. Address
said yesterday that some of the machin-
cry of the company was yet in an ex-
perimental stage, but that he hoped to
materially increase the volume of pro-
duction within a very short time. e. G.
'Oxenham of Birmingham England, has
charge of the mechanical department, and
II is under his supervision the machines
are being made from the raw product
MIR. Address says they expect to have
four more machines in operation within
the next six months.
The market for the dental burr consists
of the world. There are few plants In
the United States devoted to the manu-
facture of this useful article, and the
Birmingham plant is the only one south
of the Ohio river. There is very large
plant in New York, which has been sup

German manufacturers before the war
found a profitable market in America for
dental burrs. With the coming of the

product has been found to have as much
merit as the German article

company IS the only concern of its kind
south of the Ohio river and the article
II manufactures is one of the most use
full things dentist has to use. The prod
uet of the Birmingham company is as

States. 1t requires skilled mechanics and
skilled labor to handle the delicate ma
chinery that makes these small burrs.

A JELTED GIRLS CHANGE
f'No one is so accursed by fate, / No one so utterly desolate,
 But some heart, though unknown, Responds unto his own.'


 It has often been noticed with con- siderable wonder that the fairest of girls to look upon has possibly been left alone in loves race at some one time bN a f1ckle lover. At the time wherein he took his departure it seemed that there was no more trying g position the wide world over for the girl to find herself placed in than this turn in her devotion. There is noth- ing more appalling than faith1ess lover.
 She. must face foes and dear ones alike, knowing that they are scrutiniz- ing her bearing at such 8 time. Cos sips, too, must come in for their share of meddling. The girl has much of her. proper pride and spirit left; this has never failed in coming to her res cue.
 There were circumstances that she couId not control which prevented her from staying away from places where she would unfortunately be likely to meet him with another whom he had chosen. She resolves that her wiser course to pursue is to school herself to meet the ordeal and to get through it bravely, holding her head high. The man who without>just cause jiIts the woman who has learned to love him is not worthy- of the least respect from her or one heart throb from her bosom. Such a man should not observe, by the fainteSt sign or word, that she has a remnant of love left for him in her wronged heart or that he has the least place in her regard. She conceals the resen tment and bitterness from sh ow- ing, for that would but huniliate her the more.
 Her only course to pursue is to treat him entirely as if he were a newcomer she knew scarcely anything of. This would require polite indifference on her part, a Iadylike way which is plainer than words can speak: Your unworthiness has not broken this heartI'' Most all men are chivalrous by nature. Few if any would be base enough to look down upon a worthy girl for this cause. Pity is akin to love. She seems more beautiful and more refined, because of her pitifu1 trea tment and her return of good for evil.
 Silence was golden to her: She could not be induced to go from one end Of the town, to the other and to rake him over the coals, as he deserved. She avoided him when she could. Her face wore a sweet expression and she did not despfse all men on account of one mans doing. MT Right was one of the many whom she appealed to. He took an active part in aiding needy charities; made unknown contributions to the poor and suffering. It proved best and providentiaI that her former lover freed her, as it was the means of gaining a better and devoted husband, who dearly appreciated her true value by making her life rosy and happily .bIest. /

SINGER IN FEAR OF HER LIFE AT END
 OF BYRNES' TERM
Miss Stafford Visits State s Attorney to Talk of Sup
 posed Danger.

Saying she feared for her life when Patrick Byrnes was released from the county jail, Miss Mary Stafford, the North End girl at whom Byrnes. re- gently fired a pistol shot, visited the county court house yesterday to have conference with States Attorney Homer s. Cummings.
 Miss Stafford appeared to be az grieved because she was not consult ed before Byrnes' case was consider ed in4 court. She thought she might have been able to shed light on sev- eral questions and was anxious to take the witness stand. As Byrnes pleaded guilty, however, there would have been no opportunity for Miss Stafford to go on the stand.
 In a talk with a representative of The Farmer it was suggested that when Byrnes appeared in court he seemed to be a harmless old man. | Harmless, nothing" declared Miss Stafford. Do you call a man harm less when he goes around shooting at people? That man was hiding un- der my window for three days before the shooting. In fact he was there on the morning he shot me-
 When reminded that counsel for Byrnes had said in court that the ac- cused could give no adequate reason for the shooting, Miss Stafford re- marked, q don't know whether he gave any reason or not but it was jealousy that made him do it. But I don't know what right he had to be jealous of me. He had no hold on me. l regarded him as a father ard he had a good home with us. But after what happened I'm afraid of my life now"
 Byrnes was sentenced last week in the criminal superior court to serve one year in the county jail. His coun- ,sel, Hugh J. Lavery, pleaded for len iency on the ground of Byrnes' pre- vious good record.

There is no sword in my hand
 Where I watch oversea, Fathers land, mothers land,
 What will you say of Snne, Who am blood of your German blood Through and through, Yet would not, if I could,
 Slaughter for you? What will you say of one Who has no heart Even to cheer you on?
 No heavens apart, No guiding God appears
 To my strained eyes, ThWart the fog of fears
 And hates and lies, I see no goal, I mark INo ringing message flying; Only. a brawl in the dark And death and the groans of the
 dying.
 For you, your mean of dreams, And your strong men of deeds Crumb1e and die with screams.
 And under hoofs like weeds Are tramp1ed; for. you
 In city and on hill Voices you knew
 And needed are still, And roundabout
 Harbor and shoal
 The lights of your soul Go out. To what end, o Fatherland?
 see your 1egions sweep Like waves up the gray strand. T I hear your women weep. And the sound is as the grooming
 Swish of the ebbing wave A nations pitifu1 moaning Beside an open grave. Ah,, Fatherland, not all
 Who love you most, Armed to triumph or fall,
 March with your mighty host, Some there are yet, as I,
 Who stand apart,
 And with aching heart Ponder the Whither and Why Of the tragic story
 Asking with bated breath, Which way lies glory
 And which way, death ?
