But I managed to conceal my feel ings, so dinner was a social as well as a gastrononic success. Captain Winston called it the "delicious-est home meal he had met on this side of the pond," and Jim beamed.
 Every one helped "clean-off'-so that was over in a jiffy. Then Cap tain Winston asked who was running 1 around to the garage with him to get his car-and Betty volunteered I saw through that, and I determin- ed they shouldn't talk us over" So said smoothly: Silly children 1 We'll phone for it. | And they had to.

 i When I was alone, I began to see how I had blundered through pride as grave as Jim's own. I have failed my boy, for he needs me to bridge the gap between that pride of his and the things from which 1t shuts him off.

CL AIMS BRITISH MlSTREAT NEGRO
 IN EAST AFRICA

London, Sept. 16.-An indictment of British treatment of negroe in British East Africa is made by Sir H. H. Johnston, writing in The ob- server. Many of the assertions made before the Negro conference in New York; he says, were wild and windy, but it behooves our Colonial office to see plain justice done to the 100000 of black and brown people in this Colony and 'Protectorate.' Numerous instances of bullying, fog ging and torture are cited by the writer.
 .:Jhe natives he says, "are slow ly coalescing, Bantu with Nilote, Mo l.anlmeoan with Christian and Pagan, Somali and Gala with hitherto de- spised negro in their common hatred of the invading white man, owing to the exceptional cruelties which have stained the white mans record dur ing this period of Is years. These are not cruelties of soldiers or po- any kind, but of individual settlers, British or Boer in origin.
 Not only have murders, light hearted murders, of natives, taken have revolting cruelties been com mitted, but, when the white delln- quents are brought up for trial, white juries acquit them or white udges inf1ict trivial penalties, or re- bellous public opinion forces a gov ernor to revise sentence. I doubt if capital punishm ment for murder has ever been imposed on a white man in East Africa
 Again, in the great war, thous- ands and thousands of native porters wer ecompulsorily enrolled by our government or by the military author ities in the unhappily-styled tProtec- torate' and the arrangements for their commissariat, their medical treatment, with the result that some 23,O0O to 25,o0o of them Git was re- ported) died during the pursuit of the German forces.
 The survivors have retained tongues and the power of speaking; some, even, had been mission edu- cated and when Dora (Defense of the Realm Act) took her hand of the mail service they have stammer- l ingly told the world outside Africa something Of their preventible suf ferings and even of singularly cal 1 lous and sometimes cruel treatment at the hands of the military autheri ties.
 Now the cu1nninating incident is this: Some two months ago there occurred at Nduru, in British Eas 1 Africa, cases of logging and tor
 ture. so severe that according to medical officers report, in som
 cases ''the fogged natives died iron cases, the f1ogged natives dier iron the torture and f1ogging.' Thes l crimes seemingly were committed ol

MOVIES EVERYWHERE
 TRIUMPHANT, IN MEXICO

Mexico, we read in current dis patches, has decided to lift the heavy censorship from the movtas and to foster the enterprise in every way. There seems to be no stopping the triumphant march of the movie stars, says the Philadelphia Record. Not long ago we read that Devonshire house, the famous rendezvous of the whigs in London, had fallen before the cinema. The Alhambra and the Empire, famous music halls, are to go, too. England and the continent appear to be as wild for the screen as we are here. All doors are open ing to it. Not long ago the conserva- tive Vatican sanctioned the picturine of an important religious function Great are the movies!

REALLY NOT BADGER AT ALL.

R. I. Pocock, curator of mammals to the London Geological society, has hoax upon the Americans, who for more than 400 years have believed they had badgers on their continent An American badger was taken to London to make an instructive com parison was put in cage with some British badgers. The British badgers slept all day, the American badger all night Doctor Pocock investigat- ed and decided the American animal was neither badger, skunk, stoat. nor weasel. He said it's skull and teeth were wrong for a badger-it lack ed the scent gland-and it's resemb- lance to the badger was so superficial he considered it of a totally different tribe"

 Tears were very close to my eyes I wonder what would have happen ed if I had let them come, if I had cried out my thoughts:
 "Oh, it won't do for him to go walking about all day! So he hasn't a job after all. And he is so happy because he thinks he has. Oh Betty what shall we do?''
 i Instead, I said coldly:
 He has probaly thought of that Mrs. Bryce, and arranged accordin- 1 ly." And then I marched in to put the ! melon the table. When I came back again Betty had served up the vegetables and had set them on toy 1 of the oven to keep hot.

Rotarians Hear Miss Handley-Plan Joint Barbecue.

Rotary Soldiers Day" was celebrated by the Rotarians at rneir luncheon yesterday, with the resurned soldier n embers as guests of honor and Miss Virginia B. Handley, recently returned Red Cross worker, theN principal speaker.
 Miss Handley, who was one of the first Birmingham girls to go over, reached France in SerNember 1918. She was connected with recreation hos pitala during the war and with relief work in a devastated area after the war. Before going across she was con nected with the welfare work in camps in the United States.
 Miss Handley related interesting de- tails of her work in France. She told Of the work behind the lines, keeping the boys happy and their minds oc cupied and the queer experiences which she had.o
 The Rotary Clubs will appoint S com mittee to cooperate with the other civic organizations to the end that ar engagements might be made for joint barbecue some time in May at Bir- mingport. This barbecue will not only be method for the clubs to get to- gether, but will also be plan to bring attention to Birmingport. Birmingham s open road to the gulf.

acute housing situation in the Birming- ham district. Every economy possible has been used in the building of these residences with resulting saving to the purchasers of the company's lots.
 Another fifty foot warehouse, four stories in height has been built during the year on First avenue and rented satisfactorily.
 Recognizing the fact that desirable residential property in this city was limited your company during the year purchased approximately 300 acres of land lying east of the Country Club in what is known as the Country Club district, This property lies on the northern slopes of Red mountain, Is beautifully wooded and has easy grades. With the Country Club de- finitely located in it's present loca- tion until 1888 and probably much longer your officers and directors con- slider this property to be the best de- veloped residential property in the city of Birmingham. Forty acres of this property are being improved at this time and will be placed on the market shortly.
 During the> year industrial activity of the district has been marked, two additional by-product plants have been completed and numerous small indus tries located in the district. The sh!p- building plants in Mobile have com pleted many ships, some of them en- tirely made from steel produced and fabricated in the Birmingham district and these ships have sailed from Mo bile loaded with products made at Birs mingham.
 Great progress has been made in the development of the Warrior river, adequate facilities both for loading and unloading, and for transportation on the river have been and are being provided, and after completion much of
