ROYAL blue, color ascertaining
a stronger and firmer foothoid on
fashion daily, is proclaimed as the
high point of formal fashion in
Paris. The small, smart group OF
Parisiennes who create the destiny
of fashion for New York have worn
royal blue at the brilliant Paris
functions in gowns of velvet or sa-
tin, in velvet wraps of regal mag
nificence adorned with ermine or
encrusted with glitter treatments.
Pearl enerustation or cut-out ap..

blue chiffon. Rhinestones or many
color beads in jewel effects sparkle
ON gowns of royal blue velvet, SATIN
or chiffon. Black laees i'll sheer,
shadowv tiers or flouncos, often
with gay flowers at the shoulder or
eirdle, recall the Spanish influence
on royal blue backgrounds.

TO CENTRALIE CEMENT MIXING
 IN NEW PLANT
Sloss-SheffieId Will Erect $45,OO0 Plant On First
 Avenue

Under plans said to have been suc- cessftllly worked in other large cities, the Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron O., will install at its furnace, 32d street and First avenue, a central concrete mixing plant. This project is to cost in the neighborhood of $45y000.
 The idea of the plant, according to J. E. Denelson, who has made an ex- tensive investigation of similar enter prises and who will have charge here, Is to bring all of the concrete mixing for construction work to one point. The saving by this method is around 20 per cent, he says.
 Figures taken from Dolenson's sur vey shown that by the plants formula for mixing, concrete will not "set" be- fore three hours after it has been made. This will allow a haul as far as Bes- semer or to practically any part of the district. Various mikes" to conform with orders paving, foundation, side walks, etc., are possible by the arrange ment of machinery at the plant.
 D0nelsOn points out that the saving will come both in labor and material. Particularly for smaller jobs, he de- clared the cost of employing a gang of mixers and waste in material sometimes mounts to surprising proportions. Slag, an important part of concrete, will be supplied at the furnace.
 Operation of the plant is expected by September 15 as the building program has largely commenced. Capacity of the plant is placed at 500 to 600 cubic feet of concrete per day.

ANNOUNCEMENT OF STRUCTURE
 BELIEVED NEAR
Directors Consider Five Plans By New York
 Architect

That important announcement in re- gard to the projected new office build ing for the Alabama Power company will be made shortly, possibly the early part of the week, has been forecast by members of the company.
 Just what form the development will take has not been definitely stated, al- though it has been hinted that the pre- liminary sketches for the building will soon be made public. A board of direc- tors meeting is said to have been called recently, ostensibly to consider several drawings submitted by H. L. Nessel- roth, New York architect, who has been retained by the company to make plans for a building
 When the Imperie! Land company purchased site, 190x140 feet, on the northwest corner of Sixth avenue and Eighteenth street several months ago it was generally considered that the firm was acting for the Alabama Power company and Sthe property would be used eventually for building purposes. Last May it was further reported that officials had practically decided upon History structure.
 Mir. Nesselroth, during the two months that he has been in the city, has completed several sketches, all of which have been favorably commented upon informally by engineers of the power concern. Four sketches have been finished. One is of stately 161 story building of the ,super-structure type, which has become popular within the last few years throughout the coun> try, and another of a three or four story building of immense ground area, The other two, and a fifth, not yet fin> ished, are thought to be of eight to 12- story in height.
 Although the staff of the Alabama Power company have neither confirmed nor denied the current rumor that they were planning to build, the fact that such a capable man as Mir. Nesselrotb was retained to work several months exclusively for the organization fur nishes grounds for many to believe that one of the best and most modern office buildings in the south is being planned for Birmingham.
 This architect is known nationally as one of the most proficient in his pro- fession. Among his widest known pieces of work are his power plant built for the Edison-Ohi River Power conn pany on the Ohio river at Toronto, Ohio, and his plans submitted to the Chicago Tribune when that newspaper held architectural competition in it's effort to sec: -e n plan for an ideal of' flee building. Although his plan was
 ,ot used by the Tribune, it received honorable mention, and was admitted to be work of inestimable worth.
 It is stated by officials that higher degree of efficiency could be reached, and greater convenience for employers and employees assured, if all the depart ments of the company were housed in one large building. At present they are spread about considerably. The executive staff is on the ninth floor of the Brown Marx building, while em' ployes occupy space on the fifth, seventh and tenth floors of the sama buildings, and the top three floors of the Brown Marx annex. They occupy as well, all of the Ledger building on the corner of First avenue and Twenty first street.

BUILDING SYSTEM
 AIDS EXPANSION
Bungalows SOldovBefOre Completion States
 Chichester

A figure in Birmingham residential growth has been Chichester and Co. and the Chichester Built Bungalow" The company is one of the city's largest in- dependent home builders and during the two years it has been in operation, states Lawson Starke, sales manager, every dwelling it has erected has been sold, before completion.
 Secret of the success of the Chichester building programs apparently lies in system and numbers. Material is pur- chased at, a saving in huge lots, while each piece is SO cut that it has it's own individual place in the construction work.
 Exterior dimensions of all Chichester homes are the same although arrange ment of porehes and ground floor plans may differ to a slight degree. As a gem eral thing fixtures and interior decora- tions are made by selection of the pros pectiye home owner.
 The homes are usually built in series, examples of which may be found on St. Charles street near Glen Iris avenue, where nine are rapidly being finished. Four are also being erected on Virginia street in the same locality.
 Sale is made on an easy purchase plan with a first mortgage assumed by the firm. Under this procedure the homes are paid for around five years from the time they are occupied.

BUILDING HOLDS

Figures Below June But Up
 From Last Year

Construction continues to be reason ably active, according to the F. w.. Dodge corporations statement for July. Contracts awarded last month in 36 eastern cities, amounted to $317 | 1S4, 300. While this represented a 10 per cent drop from the preceding. month, it is stin 10 per cent over the figure for July of last year.
 Recent months have shown a slight change in the character of the building program. Residential construction, which was AS per cent of the total dur ing the first six months of this year, amounted to $128,072,00O, or g per cent in July, a proportion more nearly normal than it has been for a long time.
 Public works and utilities, represent ing 15 per cent of the total during the first six months of the year, amounted to $71, ,716, 800 in July, or 21 per cent of the total.
