KIRKPATRICK SAND USED IN NEW BANK.
Firm Long Identified With
 Building Progress of Crow |. ing Metropolis

Among the many companies and different concerns in Birmingham. the Kirkpatrick Sand and Cement com pany Is numbered among the oldest of its kind. Being established in 1891, they were at that time, and are still considered, one of the largest pro- ducers of sand and gravel in the en- tire state.
 About the year 1892 they were es- tabltshed in what was known as the Chalifoux building, that stood where the Chamber of Commerce is now. It was practically the first first-class office building ever erected in the city and they remained there for a number of years. In later years they moved into the Woodward building and from there to the American Trust.
 Under the guidance of such capable men as Messrs. J. D. Kirkpatrick, R. N. Hawkins, Paul Chalifoux and others, they have been enabled to keep step with scientific progress, producing the very best products pos- sible. From the older days when wheelbarrows and shoveis were em- ployed principally in moving their different products through the city, to the present time, they have fur nished material for practically every building in the city today. Corpora tions and large local concerns in Ala bama and neighboring states are us- ing almost exclusively their products, according to a statement made by Mir. Chalifoux.
 Special sands for moulding pur- poses, sands for oil cores and for practically every purpose, are made by them, and are considered of the highest grade. All the high grade sands undergo the most stringent iab- oratory tests and are graded accord ingly.

 Talk on Etching
 On Tuesday night at 8 o'clock, Rod- erick D. MacKinzie will give another talk on etching, which will be pleas urable as well as profitable. coming as it does from a man whom Europe recognizes as one of the great artists of the present day.
 Louis Schillinger will tell, in his usual delightful way. some of his ex- perineces on his continental trip last summer. which covered many of the points illustrated in the etchings on display.
 This exhibition will continue through Saturday and it is to be hoped that everyone in Birmingham interested in any phase of art will make an effort to see it. The stu- dents in the art classes in the high schools should see it as a matter of art education. Other people appreci- ating such things will see it simply for the beauty of line and color and for pure enjoyment.
 Many of the etchings shown are in color. method of color printing which Is little known in the south For those who cannot see the appeal of the simple line and the beauty of carefully proportioned spaces. these prints in color will appeal.

Old Jefferson theatre will be radi- ant the night of the goth with a carnival of dances.
 Little flying childish figures. clad in fairy-like, fanciful and radiant costumes. will whirl to the summons of gay music.
 Oh, you'll meet there baby things who will dance on their toes, elves right from the heart of Riddle Lard, Easter rabbits which have been per- suaded to finger long past their sea- son, just to play in this whirl-a-g gig carnival. Wood nymphs will add their laughter-and butterflies will thrill you with their outspread, flut- tering, wings.
 Mrs. Camper Directs
 The event is to be put on by the Lakeview School Improvement asso- citation members for the benefit of their organization. and it is thought that they will easily make the $400 which they have set as their goal, since no pains have been spared to have a finished performance. Mrs. Annie Syke Camper. lovely local di- rector of dances. will present her pu- pills, who are some of the prettiest and most beautifully trained children of Birmingham
 Rehearsals are quite thrilling, since the children are relating with bated breath and eyes like stars that they are to be such and such an elfin thing.
 They will dance as gracefully as little swaying flowers through three distinct acts:
 A woodland scene.
 A winter scene.
 A garden scene.
 The redbird is the saucy inhabi- tant who opens the woodland scene. And pretty Miss Roberta Munger is the very lucky little girl who has plucked this scarlet plum from the big pile of pretty dances. She Is the dear little daughter of MT. and Mrs. Eugene Munger. The Earle children Katherine and Rosa-sisters. will appear as gorgeous birds, in in- terpretative dances in which they will poise themselves on tiptoe through the colorful. dappled shadows of the forest. The Bird of Paradise" will be the role taken by Miss Rosa Earle. and magnificent indeed will be the headgear she will wear. Sc Thrilling are paradise feathers when one is young!
 Other Features Following these dances. you will meet little Miss Virginia Forsyth her dainty feet so pretty in her fly ing slippers: while the next number will take you back and away"--ol out ahead-to Christmas time. Thil

There is vibrant quality in his work, and assurance of knowing the subjects thoroughly through con- stant association with them.
 Dancing and Etching
 Troy Kinney, formerly of Kansas City. has here specialized on Spanish dancers, and etched them In Spain. He discovered that dancing and etch ing reflect each other in that they both depend on spot and line as well as movement While there Is a grace and freedom in his pictures which suggests a quick sketch or a snapshot so wonderfully has he por- trayed and suggested the quick move ment of the dance, they are in real ity the result of panstaking study.
 The father of Maxfield Parrish. famed for his mural decorations throughout the east, especially in the plant of the Curtis Publishing com pany, in Philadelphia. stephen Par rish, made his first plate in 1879. and has since then exhibited in most of the large cities in Europe as we'll as in this country.
 New England Scenes
 Sears Gallagher has dozen clever depictions of New England which are well worth seeing.
 Jacques Beurdeley has II plates, of which the International Studio says: His work is ingenious and di- rect. though treated with delicacy and grace. It has lyric fervour which sometimes flows freely in calm melody and sometimes. like Whis- tiers. disappears in the subtlety of sophistication."

 Then like breath from the north land. will enter on wing a snowbird all glistering with whiteness as lovely as alabaster or mother of pearl. Lit tie Miss Christobel Powell will take the part of this little butterfly crea- ture. her interpretation closing the performance.
 Mrs. Ferguson Chairman
 Mrs. Hill Ferguson is chairman of the publicity committee for the af- fair. and is most clever brilliant and capable woman. She says that the event will be one of the prettiest in which youthful dancers of Bir- mingham have appeared. Since a very large and special decorating committee has been appointed. the stage settings will be exquisiteIy pretty. Some new curtains that the Jefferson theatre has but recently bought are to be used.

One of Foremost Firms of South Supplies Structural
 Product

All structural steel used in the re- modelling of the Birmingham Trust and Savings bank was purchased from the Ingalls, Iron Works. one of the foremost firms of the south.
 In the past several years they have fabricated structural steel for large number of the most important build- ings throughout the south, and have the distinction of being among the leading iron works In this section.
 Structural steel for practically every purpose is turned out by them, all of which is said to be mined, melt ed and fabricated right in the Bir- mingham district. AS boosters of home products and interests for the betterment of the Birmingham sec- tion, they take their place among the largest. while their service Is known throughout the United States.
 It Is indeed fortunate that Birming- ham does not have to depend wholly upon foreign products in the con struction of many of the largest in- dustrial plants and buildings. Cost of transportation of material, large item In the construction of any build ing, is eliminated. thereby hastening completion of the work without ship ment delays.

 REFUSE CONVEYED BY SUCTION
 When recently lumber company in Ohio built an addition to it's plant, situated at distance of 700 feet there 0rose the problem of how to handle the sawdust and refuse of both plants efficiently as a unit. The diff ficulty was overcome by connecting the two plants with a 15inch pipe line as shown in the Popular Me- chanics Magazine. In connection with this Is an air pump which conveys by suction the sawdust and refuse from each plant along the pipe line to spout that is about 25 feet above the .oofs of one of the plants.

IN MEMORIAM.

God in his infinite wisdom has seen
fit to call to his side Brother Leo
pold Elgutter, who has been a MEM
Der of St. Joseph No. 70 for nearly
40 years.
AS a man he has always been a
loyal and upright citizen with whom
duty to country stood only second
to his duty to God and he was GER
tainly faithful to both.
AS a father he has as a lasting
monument left behind him, in two
daughters and four sons, who can
bear testimony to his complete de-
votion to them, having only their
comfort and their prosperity in view
and under no circumstances did ne
neglect their physical or mental
needs and acted as both father and
mother to them, having had the mis-
fortune of losing his wife about IA
years ago.
Last, but not least, his ardor as
a Mason was never in doubt, joining
this lodge as a young man, he was
always regular in attendance. When
in 1890 the Lodge threatened to
become extinct, through dissention
among the members, he got per-
mission to move the charter from st.
Joseph, to Newellton, and kept the
charter alive by so doing. Since then
until the last year, he was always
among those present and always
ready to speak good word 1or 'ne
Masonic order or its members.
May God reward him for his gooo
thoughts and deeds and may ms
family be comforted in the knowledge
that he spent a useful life and died
beloved by all.
