assortment of skilled men who at home, were distinguished for their wealth and genius.
 The first need was docks, to unload our men and our supplies. At this particular port there were only sufficient docks to care for the needs of France. Our men went ahead and are constructing docks sufficient for the unloading of twenty great deep-draught steamers at once. They are building 300 miles of railroad track to connect up those docks and the warehouses in that store yard. Before doing that 7,500,a0O cubic yards of filling had to be put in.
 In the meantime the warehouses were going up like magic.
 Result-that one place will now main. tain an army of 2.0o0,000 men with every thing from motor trucks to canned to matoes.
 There will be 200 such great ware houses, each with 20,0o0 square feet of space, and eight others six times as large as that!
 The steel for these warehouses comes from the United States. Like the fa- nous Agawan, the 5000-ton ship launched from the port of Newark shipyard on Memorial Day, these warehouses are "fabricated,' Various parts are made all over the country, shipped and fitted over there These are the first fabricated. warehouses in history.

What We Are Doing in France

Robert NJ. Mcbride, in Leslie's. It is little wonder that we amazed the French. They do only one thing quickly flight the Huns. Their battle of the taxicabs at the Marne proved their speed ir this.
 But in France mechanical construction is for the most part slow hand-work. They do not understand our methods of standardization, of fabrication, or our speeding up once we have the plants established.
 But we have not the men-you can authorities told our leaders in the work. With true Yankee briefness the reply came:
 we can try"
 And so from ten nationalities we drew men for the labor.
 Brains and brawn must be about equai- ly divided to create and maintain lines of communication sufficient for the needs of an army of million that is rapidly growing into an army of five times that strength.
 And the brains are there all right brains that back home commanded sala- ries akin to those of railroad or fnsur- ance company presidents. I chatted with one famous expert who was dressed In muddy khaki He was sloughing around the mud at the edge of a railroad yard watching a gang of huskies converting his plans into a reality
 And that man pays an income tax of $375,OO0 year.
 Among the officers of construction work at one yard I found New York bank president, two great industrial cor poration heads, the builder of one of the biggest engineering projects in the United States, the chief engineer of one of our largest railroads, former heads of great engineering corporations, and an endless

SALOME HELD OVER FOR FAIR VISITORS
 AT THE TR|ANON
GYaf Spectacle in Which Theda Bara Stars Will Extend Engagement
 Three Days

Birmingham and the thousands of fair visitors in the city this week Will have an opportunity of seeing the great film spectacle, "Salome,' fea- turing Theda Bara.
 The Trianon management announces that by special arrangement this nam moth film will be presented for the first three days of this week. Mon day. Tuesday and Wednesday. This extended engagement was arranged in order to cooperate with the commer- cial bodies and the fair association to make this week one of the biggest amusement weeks in the history of Dir mir gham.
 During the showing last week of "Salome" at the Trianon thousands en- loved this picture and the unanimous oninion was that the production was one of the grandest ever shown in a photoplay house in Birmingham. Sa- lome" is gigantic production and the settings and costumes are lavish, The costumes worn by Theda Bara alone cost more than $50.000, and the produc- tion cost more than s1000,o00 to make, William Fox, the master producer, de- clares that it is one of the biggest pictures he ever made and he has made many wonderful productions Theda Bara, as the siren of the ages, scores her greatest triumph in "Sa' lome."
 The story of "Salome' is historically correct This siren lived at the tims of John the Baptist and King Hcrod and was spurned by the former and loved by the latter. Because John spurned her she longed for his death and through her power over Herod
 finally won in her base desire. "Sa Iome.' gloating over the head of John the Baptist on charger. is one of the stirring scenes of the photoplay. Thoss who haven't seen this production ara urged not to overlook the opportunity and to see it during the three days oi the extended enga gagement--Monday Tuesday and Wednesday of this week Fair week.
 "The Unbeliever" said to be the greatest patriotic picture ever made, will be the attraction at the Aica- gar all this week.
 The picture is being shown under the auspices of the United States ma rine corps, and is known as their pie ture, inasmuch as the members of this branch of the service participated in all scenes.

THE LEE KIDS AT LOEW'S FOR FIRST
 HALF OF WEEK
Swat the Spy, Title of Their New Mile-a-Minute Comedy-Their Great
 est Success

Since more than a million young Amer jeans had laid down their ukuleles, picked up their guns and were partici- pating in the well-known festivities now being published on the boisterous side of the Atlantic, Andrew Sheldon, retired manufacturer, had started experiments on new type of explosive, designed to eliminate goodly number of Huns from the next census report All of this is eX- plained by Jane and Katherine Lee, in Swat the Spy" at Loew's Bijou, Mon day, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 Sheldon had two children-Jane and Katherine-who had a repertoire or pranks second only to a diary of Mutt and Jeff. There was butler in the house entitled Karl Schmidt, who was as German as a limburger sandwich, although not quite so vociferous in pro- claiming his nationality. Karl was a member of the strangely named German intelligence bureau and suffered from the German national disease-obesity of the cranium. Lena Muller was his side kick and the cook of the Sheldon home Lena was a fast worker, and it was all that the more conservative Karl could do to prevent her from showing her love for her Kaiser by seasoning Mir. Sheldon's Welsh rabbit with T. N. T., or serving him shrapnel instead of puffed rice.
 Karl and Lena had made up their minds to get hold of Sheldon's invention which goes to show that, despite 50-cent beef, our plot isn't going to be meatless. Together with several other agents of the Imperial German government, Lena and Karl met in the kitchen to tap a mean keg of book and discuss ways and means of securing a scissors hold on the Sheldon Hun eradicator.
 While toying with pretty little A cali- bre revolver in the next room, Jane and Katherine touched the gun in a sensi- tive spot, and, true to the traditions of Colt when hard pressed, the gat went off with a bang and kick. The bullet, while touring through various partitions, . decided on a definite course and struck one of the glass globes in the kitchen There was general retreat, the retiring ?
