The city's chief engineer came to Bir- mingham this week to see for him self how the De Lavaud pipe was made and to make personal tests of it's ability to withstand pressure. After making numerous tests of fire eshly-made pipe, he wired his principals recommending the pipe without inspection.
 Ready market has been found for capacity production of the De Lavaud machines, which turn out pipe from 4 to ? inches in size. Alexandria, La, recently specified this pipe for several miles of natural gas main. It has become firmly established in the trade, placing new Birming- ham product regularly on the mar ket. Rights to manufacture the pipe, process for which is patented in Canada, were bought by the United States Pipe company, which has sublet the right to the National Cast Iron Pipe company.
 The pressure pipe trade was never more active. January demand estab- lished a new record. Orders are pill ing up in huge tonnage. The base has been advanced to S45 for sizes up to 12 inches.

company has just put into effect a
cooperative plan with it's employees in
the operation of its smelter at Avalos
adjacent to Chihuahua. It is stated
that under this plan the employees are
to receive a share of the net earnings
Of the smelter. The amount ecerivcd
by each individual will depend on the
length of his regular employment. Al
though the state of Chihuahua hes
one of the most radical labor laws Of
any state in Mexico it is not known
here that the cooperative system as
announced by the American smelling

SENATOR NICHOLSON.
mo Kick Coming" When Told He
Could Not Recover.

washington correspondent Phila-
delphia Public Ledger)
Senator Samuel d. Nicholson, of
Colorado, who died recently. had not
been in Washington long enough to
become prominent in legislative or
political counc Is. yet his close per-
sonal friend, Dr. Hubert Work, secre-
tary of the interior has a stroy to
show the stuff of which the late SEN
ator was made.
Secretary Work made two trips to
Rochester, Mimi, after Senator Mich
olson was taken there for treatment.
It was known from the outset that his
condition was critical Dr. Work was
there for a most important cOnsulta-
ton of attending physicians.
The senator's spirits never tagged
throughout the ordeal but ne want
ed to know precisely what the dag
nosis had revealed. He would not be
put off with the perfunotory reassur-
ances of the physicians He called
DR.. Work to his bedside and demand
ed in the name of their friendship to
know the truth, that he might be pre-
pared. DR.. Work demurred but fin
ally yielded.
We'll Sam. am afraid you can
not get well" he said.
The senator's immediate response
was:
TITS tough to have to go, but have
no complaint. It's been a good old life,
and have no kick coming"
From that moment he was recon
ciled to the prospect Of death. He
met it without u murmur. His only
request was that he he sent down to
Denver to die.
