Victory Highway Will
Reach Across Country

The Victory Highway, to be dedicat-
ed in honor of the World War dead, is
to be laid out between New York and
San Francisco. The route will run
south of the Lincoln Highway for
most of its length, and will be the
shortest and most practicable course
across the United States.
The memorial will permit each coun-
ty that it crosses to honor its own
boys by placing their names upon
monuments to be erected at each coun-
ty crossed by the road. The monu-
ments will be of uniform design

see something of special interest in
the way of meteors.
Probably first to catch your eye No

Cling w in Cassiopeia in the northern
heavens high above the pole. You
will probably search in vain for the
Big Dipper, for it lies on the opposite
side of the pole from Cassiopeia and
is so close to the horizon in November
that it is concealed from view, partly
if not completely, by trees or build
ings to the northward. Possibly yor
will be able to make out the outlines
of the Little Dipper though, with the
North Star, Polaris, at the end Of the
handle.
Next to Cassiopeia, the Great
Square in Pegasus, with the constella

east, is one of the most noticeable O.

WHO'S WHO FOR WOMEN

Activities Of women outside of the
home have increased to such an ex-
tent in recent years that a yearbook
of their doings now is regarded as a
necessity. Ida Clyde Clark. associate

compiled the first book of this kind
under the title, Women of 1924" pub
lished by the Women's News Service,
Inc, of New York. Miss Clark has

ACTIVE BUYING
 BOOSTS PRICES
R. G. Dun & Co.,, Gives Optimistic Survey Of
 Conditions

R. G. Dun and Co.'S, current sum- mary of general business conditions issued during the week is conducive to further optimism. The statement fol- lows:
 The confidence imparted to business continues to be reflected in the freer movement that is noticeable in many of the leading markets, and this has found expression in active buying which has lifted prices of many basic Sproducts. among them wheat, cotton. hides and leather, to a substantially higher level. Evidence on all sides indicates that the markets have begun a readjustment to a state of freedom and security that had previously been jeopardized. Stocks continue to rise and large funds which have been withheld, are again seeking investment. The weather which has initiated somewhat against a normal movement of seasonable commodities, has enabled farmers, especially the cot ton growers in the south, to harvest their crops under almost ideal condi- tions and at much lower cost than customary, thus considerably improv ing their financial pOsition.s, This is indicated by the reports received of much more liberal buying in the agricul- tural sections. Money is abundant for all purposes. The national bank re- sources between September 15 and Oct ober 14 showed an expansion of $1,- GIG, O,1S5,0O0 Wholesale dealers report the receipt of many orders that have been held in abeyance and note an in- creasing tendency to anticipate future necessities despite general upward trend 10 prices. The Steel Corporation thrilled tonnage statement for October shows good gain over September, not withstanding some untoward conditions. Copper consumption, including exports, is at the highest rate ever recorded; automobile production exceeds that of last year at this time; freight cartload- iHBs have neveeabefore equaled those now being made; consumption Of cot ton and wool is steadily gaining; there has been a noticeable increase in the call for bagging. chip board and other materials used for containers exports and imports far exceed those of a year ago; many important industries are add ing to their working forces and pre- pairing to extend their operations; and with business failures reduced the out look for an extended period of com mercial and manufacturing activity ap- pears to be we'll assured.

The splendid business being done by Mason and Dulion, one of the oldest plumbing establishments in Birming- ham, is reflective of improved build ing conditions in this city and sur rounding territory,
 Mason and Dulion moved into their handsome new quarters Oct. 1. In creased volume of trade made necessary the change from its old location on Fifth avenue to it's new establishment 2019 Fourth avenue, north.

NEW CONCRETE MIXING PLANT
 BUSY INDUSTRY
Sloss-Sheffield Company's Latest Contribution Is
 Interesting Place

The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company has made another important contribution to industrial Birmingham. It is plant for the preparation of ready mixed concrete now operating at First avenue and Thirty-second street.
 The ready mixed concrete can be de- livered promptly within radius of 15 miles from the central plant. De- liveries are made in the company's own trucks. It is not the intention of the company to attempt deliveries to points further than 15 miles. This is because the product will harden before it can be used. The delivery plan of the Sloss- Sheffield company is the same plan ap- proved by the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Architects society.
 The Sloss-Sheffield Steel and Iron company advertises the fact that prep aration and delivery of ready mixed concrete not only means a very con siderable saving in cost of equipment and mixing, but it also enables con- tractors to complete their jobs in con siderable less time.
 The ready mixed concrete of the com pany, according to results of tests, is from 15 to 20 per cent stronger than concrete made up in a small mixture. An extremely wet mix. of concrete is produced, although the mix is prepared with use of less water than is neces- sary in smaller mixers. Less water guarantees greater strength
 The plant is under the direction of the concrete department of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company. The plants daily capacity is 600 cubic yards of ready mixed concrete, all of which is turned out under careful and scientific process.
 The Birmingham plant was installed after observing operation of similar plants during the. last seven years in important cities of the north and west, including among others, New York, Chicago, Washington. Philadelphia, Cleveland, Indianapolis and elsewhere where commercial ready mixed concrete IS procurable. The Birmingham plant is. therefore, by no means an industry established for experimental purposes. but 1t is a plant producing and deliver Ing ready mixed concrete of proven merit. The concrete is backed by the guarantee of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron company.
 made ready mixed con- crete is now being exclusively used in the extensive paving pres ram under way on First Avenue. In addition it is lie ing sold in such smaller quantities.
 The success of the undertaking seems assured for Birmingham, because large quantities of the concrete has already been put down here and with most satisfactory results.
 The plant has attracted widespread attention, not only from practical con tractors, but from the general public

S2O PIG IRON BY
 JAN. 1 IS BELIEF
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Industrial Turn For Bet ter, Is Frequently
 Forecast

An advance to $2O at least for pig iron by January 1 is freely forecast in Birmingham. Inquiries have been very active following the election. The bulk of sales were at S1S.50, prices ranging anywhere from $17.50 to $19. A num- Der of orders were placed during the week.
 The anticipated turning point for im- proved industrial business so frequent ly predicted during the last sixty days, is reality now in Birmingham. This section should see large industrial plants in steady operation during the next four to six months, possibly longer.
 k. G. Dun and company's statement for the week pointed to the fact that many important industries are increas- ing their working forces and pre- pairing to extend operation, adding "and with business failures reduced, the out look for an extended period of com mercial and manufacturing activity appears to be well assured" While the statement referred to the country in general, it seems particlarly applica- ble to Birmingham.
 It will be necessary to draw heavily upon surplus stocks of pig iron to fill orders.
 Steel plants in Birmingham are all showing more or less activity in the face of further improvement in demand.
 Furnace No. 1 of the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Railroad company, at Besse- mer is again in blast after several months idleness. The entire series of furnaces of the Tennessee company, ex- cepting Oxmoor, is in operation. Work on the new plants of the company at Fairfield is being carried steadily for ward.
 The coal mining industry faces pros poets of improved business despite un- seasonable weather Improved demand for coal is noted in Birmingham. The DeBardeleben Coal corporation will ex- port 13,000 tons of coal, mostly domes- tic. to Cuba this month.
 Observance by Colonel James Bow ron, chairman of the board of the Gulf States Steel company, of his eightieth anniversary Saturday was of more than ordinary interest to Birmingham in dustrial leaders as well as to other friends of this estimable .:entleman. He has been conspicuous leader in the upbuilding of the Birmingham district. His constructive work in the upbuilding of the Gulf States Steel company, in particular stands as monument to his genius.
 It is generally regretted here that the $2,0OO,000 plant of the Phoenix Portland Cement company has been lost to Birmingham because of unfavOrable freight rates. Announced intention of the company to use Birmingham coal in the New Orleans plant, about 75,O0O tons annually, came as the only bit of cheer from Birmingham's standpoint, in connection with the statement made by, Lndley~C. Morton, president of the comnanv. $ .s
