The McWane Cast Iron Pipe COM
pany has purchased site of 80 acres
of land in East Birmingham, running
approximately from Eleventh to Fiji
teenth avenues, north, and from
Thirty-sixth to Thirty-eighth streets,
along the main line of the Louisville
and Nashville.
On this site the company will build
a new cast iron pipe plant. Contract
for the grading and buildings Will
be let early in September and it is
expected to have the plant in opera
ton by March. 1923.
]. r. McWane, president of the
company, is one Of the founders and
for years was president of the Amer
lean Cast Iron Pipe company, re-
firing from that position first of the
year and organizing the McWane Cast
Iron Pipe company for manufacture
more especially of smaller sizes of
pressure pipe ranging from to a
inches. He leased the plant of the
Southern Pipe and Foundry company
and began operations there January
/. The company has been remark
ably successful placing large tom
rages In particular on the Pacific
coast and in Honolulu.
Speaking of the new plant, which
is to have a capacity of 5000 feet
Per diem and employ about $50 men
to start with, Mr.. McWane says:
MIR. McWane's Statement
Through the Fowlkes Real Estate
company, we have purchased in East
Birmingham about 80 acres of land
on which we propose to erect a plant
n ~ n
and the contract let. We hope to get
1t under roof by early winter and TO
have 1t in operation by March /, 1922.
when our present lease in North Bir-
mingham expires.
THE property Is located north Of
Eleventh avenue, north, and near the
plant of the Birmingham Machine
and Foundry company, fronting 1900
feet on the Louisville and Nashville
railroad and bounded on the north
by the Southern railway. 1t en-
braces the site of the old Magic City
Oil company.
Room for Expansion
This first unit which we propose
to build now will have a daily ca
pacity of about 5000 feet of pipe.
and will employ to begin with about
$50 men. The large acreage Will
allow expansion in additional units
as the growth of the business justi-
flies.
I'VE Will continue for the present
to specialize on the smaller sizes
of pipe, equipped with our improved
precalked Joint, ranging from 6-inch
to as small as l 4 Inch. This latter
size we have Just put on the mar
ket with encouraging results.
The Human Side
I'm all our planning we recognize
that men are more important than
machinery. and this Is given first
consideration in working out our
methods of manufacture. in the VEN
tilation and lighting of the build
ings, and in all the provisions for
the safety and well-being of the men.
Fine progress has been made in this
direction by the manufacturers of
East Birmingham and, as we take up
our work in that section of the city
we hope to contribute our humble
mite to the upbuilding of the com
munity"

State Fair Here This
Coming Fall

Chicken raisers of Alabama-this
applies to the poultry of the spe-
cies-are in for the biggest treat of
their lives in October. If the word of
Jim Dent. secretary of the Alabama
State Fair, amounts To anything
and 1t usually does. Jim says the
State Fair. which begins October 2
and lasts through October Z, will
have the greatest poultry show ever
given In the south.
The entire exhibit buildings will
be given over to housing the poultry
show this year" said Mr.. Dent, Sat
urday. 1T is remarkable how the
poultry show has grown from year
to year. 1t simply means that Mr..
Country man, almost to a unit, is
interested in the raising of chick
ems. 1t also shows that Mr.. City
man, who has few square feet in
the back yard also likes to exper-
iment on chicken raising. Interest
ing the urban and the rural citizen
with the same kind of exhibit has
Hldue the poultry end OF the talr one
of its most popular departments"
Mr.. Dent stated that Miles Brad
ford would be superintendent of the
poultry show this year, reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding. and
that he would be assisted by Ray
mond Quinn and j. T. Rust, who have
worked in this department for the
State Fair association for a number
of years and know the work.
"A breed of chickens never before
shown in Alabama will be a feature
at our annual fall show this year"
added Mr.. Dent. They are the
Jersey Black Giants, and we have
already arranged for a big display
of blue ribboners in this breed of
chicken, entirely new to Alabama"
Johnny j. Jones shows have signed
contract for the Alabama State
Fair this year, and will come to Bir-
mingham with much bigger show
than the veteran amusement man
has ever put in the field before. The
United Booking company has con-
tracted to furnish fourteen big free
acts, which will be given twice a day
in front OF the grandstand.

car of a Louisville and Nashville
freight train at the Louisville and

Pratt City yesterday. a Frisco freight
train crashed into the Louisville and
Nashville train, derailing the Frisco
engine and causing other damage.
No casualties resulted, although sew
eral brakemen saved themselves
from sever injuries by jumping from
both trains.
An investigation carried on by Of

out any plausible cause for the box
car jumping the track, unless it
could have mounted the rails at tho
crossing. No other cars of either
train we're damaged from the col
lision

GERALDINE

MORSE mythology is filled with
~ valiant names which are the fore
runners of many of our feminine
proper names in current use today.
Geraldine is one such and her history
dates back to the days when ValkyrieS
drove their splendid chariOts over the
fields of conflict in the land of tho
midnight sun. 1t means spear
power" thus making its fortunate
possessor one of the company of battle
maids so hOnored by those of Scan
dinavian blood.
From Norway and Sweden, the fore
runner of Geraldine made its appear.
ance among the Anglo Saxons as st.
Gerhold, which was Straightway
changed to Gerald and because of the
sanity reputation of its first bearer
the masculine name became enormous
ly popular in England, where it is
still a fayorite in the aristocratic
class. "Morte d'Arthur" added to the
vogue of Gerald. since Gareth, or Car
ret, Knight of the Round Table, was
said to be the equivalent for Gerald.
Some etymologists disagree with this
contention.
The first Geraldine was Lady Eliza
beth Fitzgerald, daughter Of the
famous Maurice Fitzgerald, whom
Surrey made the heroine of his poetry
under the title of Fair Geraldine.
Geraldine's talismanic gem is tha
emerald which is said to give the
wearer such intuitive powers that she

the wits, but is an enemy to passion.

daily there was to be sale of SOB

were to be offered both as a whole and
by individual units on the following
terms: 10 per cent. at time of sale,
balance in cash within 80 days from
