WORKING MODEL OF
 NEW AIRCRAFT WILL |bE SHOWN IN CITY

Birmingham people will soon be shown
 a real working model of the arplane
 that it is said, will revolutionize the
 whole airplane industry as we'll as give
 the air it's proper importance in the transportation world.
 A. H. Carlisle of New York. president of Carlisle & Co.,, which has recently furnished southern offices in the Brown Marx building, arrived in Birmingham last night. He stated that sometime this week a perfect working model of the Lanzius airplane would arrive in
 this city and be placed on display. The
 model will be one-sixth actual size and will be perfect in all it's proportions and appointments.
 We hope to have this model on dis play before Saturday, said MT. Carlisle, and feel certain that when the people once learn that we have the real goods that a closer investigation of the merits of our product will be made. This would please us more than any, thing that they could do. When the l principle upon which the Lanzius plane is once known and understood there will be no use for comment.
 'The plane We offer is a radical de- parture from all planes built at the present time. To begin with, We use only the material that has proven to pc
 best fitted for the needs of present day structure-steel With this improved method. which upon the surface would seem the most serious drawback, we have actually served the interest of the airplane in a twofold manner, for be- sides giving a rgidity of construction we have actually reduced the weight of the machine This is indeed a wcn- derful invention"
 It is being rumored among industrial circles that the visit of MT. Carlisle is connected with the establishment of
 manufacturing plant here on account
 of the great steel mills. When ap- preached upon the subject he replied: :: T cannot say that this Is exactly my sole object, however, at the same time will admit that it is one object of my l visit to investigate the manufacturjne 2 1 facilities of the city, and 1t is perfectly 1 within reason to anticipate the con 1 struction of such a plant if the co. i operation of the people will make such l a project profitable"

WHERE THE FOUR WINDS MEET.

Chambers Journal.) 1 There are songs of the North an' songs of the South, And songs of the East and West
 But songs of the place where th' four winds meet Are the ones that we love tn best.
 And where do the four winds meet?" you ask.
 The answer is ready at hand
 "Whereyer our dear ones chance tt By air, or by sea, or land"
 So the sailor. keeping his midnight watch Mid icicles, snow and sleet,
 Can think of village near Ports mouth town As the place where the foul winds meet.
 And mother, perhaps. and sweet heart true Pray hard for the North Sea Fleet, And harder still for the boy who. gone To his place, where the foul winds meet.
 And the man on guard at the "fir ing-step,' Can think of his home-where tho four winds meet In some sheltered English town And thoughts may fly to the dis tant trench, Whatever it's name or street" For Somewhere in France" seem! far less vague If we add where the four wind: meet"
 And the pilot steers thro' the track less waste While the engines throb ant  beat, l Flouting surprise, with the army. eyes High up where the four wind. meet. And to those who mourn comes 2 cheering cry, Which the angels in heaven re. peat, "Grieve not, brave hearts; we await you here Here, where the four wind. meet" There are songs of the North and songs of the South. The East and the West complete
 But here is a song of the place we love, Which is called. Where the Four Winds Meet"
