 highway. I feel sure that the pro-
 posed highway will be a reality in
 few months. As soon as the engi-

 tative plans put on foot the whole
 community will rise up and put its shoulder to the wheel for the pur
 pose of cooperating in the building of the road.
 Good roads are essential to the welfare of the citizens of country or city. Birmingham has realized that the building of the proposed highway will be the greatest monument to the progress of the people that has ever been attained by any city. Let's build it. What is needed for the road can be furnished by the people in Bir-
 mingham and they are willing to do it."

 "When people in Birmingham become aroused over a proposition they gen. erally do something sooner or later think in this case the Warrior high way will be acted upon sooner.

 Harry New of the Motion: 'I was talk ing to friend of mine from Atlanta who was a guest at the Motion last night. In the course of our conversation he asked whether or not we Birmingham folks could put such an enormous project as the Warrior highway through. I told him that anything the people of Atlanta could do we of Birmingham could do. He laughed and said that he would have to admit that Birmingham would be one of the livest towns in the south if she had the nerve a.. energy to build a real high way to the arror I'll bet it won't be made as some of these people think it will said my friend. I replied that in my opinion it would be made with a concrete base to it. and that alone would guaran- tee a good road. If you do I will take my hat off to this town for the first time in my life, was his answer,
 SOUTH IS INTERESTED
 People from all over the south are in- terested in the proposed highway. and it would be blow to this city to agitate such beneficial proposition and then not complete it.

New Lines of Manufacture.

The people of New England are ta- king up new lines of manufacture. Yankee ingenuity is proverbia1, and New England's adap ability is deserv- ing of equal recognition. Factories large and small are springing up all through Connecticut and Massachu- setts, and the steel mills are receiving almost daily inquiries for structural shapes or for concrete bars to be used in building. Watch crystals, here tofore manufs ctured almost exclusive ly in Austria, are now being made in New England Cheap clocks and watches, which have come largely from Germany in the past, are now be- ing made in Connecticut. The Amer ican Steel and Wire Company's New England plant. already overrun with orders, is being importuned for steel springs to be used in the nanufa cture of these clocks. It is estimated that 1Il.sny of the small factory buildings TOW projected in New England, call ing for from ter tons to twenty-five tons each, require in the aggregate several thousand tons of structural shapes, while large extensions to ex- isting plants require a much heavier tom age.
