RADIATOR COMPANY
 MAKES GUT |NPR|CES
Of BirminEham, Ala. Statement December S1. 1913

Two or three weeks ago the America n Radiator company announced that it would cut the prices of it's products 9 per cent under the prices that had pre- vailed during the war. Since this an nouncement the local offices of the com pany in the American Trust building have been receiving large numbers of in quiries from prospective customers scat tered over the entire territory supplied from the Birmingham plant.
 At the time of the announced reduc- ton in price of products the company stated that there would be no reduc- is being followed.
 'The large number of inquiries we are receiving indicate that arrangements are now being made for a great deal of building during the spring and summer" /" said an official of the company.
 As radiators are about the last thing put into a building the fact that in- auiries are now being made about them induces the belief that construction work will begin at an early date.
 The high price of building materials and labor is retarding building opera tions not only in Birmingham, but thu oughout the country. Property owners, it is said, are awaiting a more settled cor diton before undertaking any great amount of Improvements. Speaking of the high cost of materials and labor one {, of the leading architects of Birmingham states that he asked for bids for build ing a small house a few days ago.
 -Four years ago we let the contract for house very similar to the one we proposed bIilding,' he said, land the highest Cffer was s750. We were pre- pared to pay considerably more at this time, possibly from 5000 to s120O, but when we cI ened the bids we found the lowest one to be s2150, or nearly three times as much as the same building cost four years ago."

Earlier Air Mails.
Letter in London Daily Mai

Letter in London Daily Mail.
Indeed, there is little new under the
sun. An announcement appeared in the
Daily Mail about pllotographing business
letters very small so as to reduce their
weight for dispatch by air mail across
thu Atlantic. Three hundred tons of let
ters so treated would weigh, it is said,
only about six tons.
Only a few days before reading that
notice, I had been looking over the ac-
count of how the "air malls were sent
into Paris during the siege of 1870. They
We're carried by pigeons, and the letters
were photographed very small, so that
as many as possible could be sent on
one bird.
The photographs were on thin little
films of collodion, each film holding $500
messages. A pigeon could easily carry a
dozen of these light films. or 10000 mes
sages. On February 8, 1871, one arrived in
Paris carrying 10000, none the worse for
its fight.
When the birds arrived the films were
taken off them; the messages were en-
larGed in a magic lantern, which threw
the images on a screen, and they were
then copied in manuscript and sent to
their destinations.
In order to allow for the birds going
astray a number of copies of each mes
sage was sent on different birds, the
average number being about 20, but it
varied from two to 40, according to the
weather conditions and the reliability Of
the messenger. Twenty words was the
limit for each message.

to the British OF not less than 12O killed
and 100 wounded, while the Americans
sustained a loss of two killed and seven

The first attack. by three baIges of the
Carnation, was repulsed with a loss to
the enemy of eight to 10 men, w~hereupon
the Plantagenet and TIE frigate Rota
manned 16 barges with about $50 men,
and Reid fired into them as they divided
into four divisions. The first lieutenant
OF the Carnation was killed at the first
fire, n as the boats stood on the Ameri-

MOTORS INSTEAD OF DOGS
Trip Over the Cascades in 4 Gasoline
Sleigh Was a Distinct
Success.

Es- Wlr Pm rArFx aaHsp -
A spectacular trial trip was recently
made across the Cascades in a motor
sleigh, and q number of photographs,
taken at various stages of the Journey,
n reproduced in Popular Mechan-
les. The achievement of the motor
sleigh was almost as amazing as that
of the first army tank, c%onquering, as
!: did, all kinds Of obstacles. Swimming
the surface Of snowfalls, old or new,
the strange little vehicle broke Its way
through primeval passes with I've a
stumble. The rescue of. al automobile,
hopelessly stalled in the drifts Of Sno-
qualmie pass, was a mere incident in
its progress. Crossing a deep gully on
a pair of hemlock poles was but one of
the days adventures. The intended
substitution of the motor sleigh for the
dog drawn sledges Of Alaska's snow
bound post trails means more to the
people of that great territory than may
be generally realized. Jack London and
others have limned the malemute as a
romantic figure; but the followers OF
the trail know well he is never that. It
isSthe elimination Of much human hard
ship, as well as canine inefficiency, that
