The litter alleys and steel carrier

are placed at the ends of the cutters

serve these probably in tank for

laughed at. The blades are larger, In
deed, than they need to be. We made
them so for safety's sake, just as the
Wrights made their first airplane
wings. But they are not so frail and
clumsy as they look. Each blade is
tested to bear strain Of 400 pounds.
They are so strong that each screw Of
six blades has a lift Of 1900 pounds
when turning at 90 revolutions a min
ute. They look more unwieldy than
they are. In the helicopters of the fu-
ture, that will solve your city freight
traffic problem for you, the screws will
be smaller and less suggestive of
Dutch windmill sails. At first we
have to allow large factor of safety,
just as the first airplane flyers did.
1T Is said that the hellcopter is not
so economical Of power as the air
plane; that the airplane can cover a
far greater distance for the same ex-
penditure of fuel. But the airplane
cannot hover, nor rise and descend
vertically. The airplane must expect
to pay In power to do those things,
just as the automobile would have to
pay in power in order to fly. You will
see the time when men will be willing
to pay any amount of power to be able
to do what the helicopter alone. of all
the machines ever invented, can do.

dency in two ways: First, by the use
Of fin that extends along one Of the
arms and second, by the turning OF
two small propellers with horizontal
axes at the ends of opposite arms.
These propellers also enable us to
turn around toward any direction we
wish to 90. They are the only true
propellers on the machine. Propul.
sion in any direction we desire Is ac-
complished by pulling lever that
alters the pitch of the blades Of the
lifting screws. We have done 80 miles

The Goodman business has greatly in creased since securing No. 1 Twen- tieth street, south. with it's 100000 square feet of storage and it's house tracks right on the railroads. This furnishes special facilities for han ding carloads that contain less than

It is in the heart of the city and the busiest section of busy Birmingham, hence deliv- cries are prompt and with least loss of time. MT. Goodman's growth in the transfer business has been phe- nomenal. He started four years ago and is now at the very forefront. He has 15 motor trucks and eight double-horse teams busy all the time. From time to time he is forced to make purchase of additional equipment and is doing that now MT. Goodman goes on the principle that Birmingham is continuously growing and tries to keep pace with it's growth by anticipation, rather than waiting on it. That has ac- counted for his successive enterprise ing expansion features, all of which have proven the soundness of his judgment.

FRENCH PREMIER MAY RE FORCED TO GIVE UP POWER
Poincare Tired Physically And Mentally And Has
 Aged Under Burdens

PARIS, June 30.-CBy Associated Press. )-Partisan politics, which are absorbing the attention of the French parliament more and more as cleo tions of next year come nearer, may drive Poincare from power, in the oTinion of some political prophets.
 The premier is tired, physically ard mentally. He has aged consider ably under the tremendous load he has carried during the past IS months. and is thoroughly disgusted, his friends say, with the intrigues that are occupying the attention or parliamentary leaders at time when their entire efforts ought to be centered on the solution of the repa- rations question and the eXtrication of France from her critical financial situation.
 Poincare has sharply criticized deputies and senators for delaying the voting of the budget by putting forward selfish local interests against the general good of the country demanding appropriations that had been cut out in the interest of economy. He has also let it be known to leading senators that he attributes the recent action of the senate in refusing to try the com munists as a distinctly political manoeuver, intended to facilitate the coalition of the communists with the Radicals in the elections of next year.
 Parliamentary experts say that Poincare will not be voted out of power because the eligible successors to the premiership, with their per sonal political fortunes at stake ir
