 aggregation, and should go good in today's encounter. Malone stopped the attack of the hard hitting Illinois nine in the recent game after Speer had been sent to the showers. Free man, city leaguer of last year, is also a pitching possibility for Coach Brown
 King, speed merchant of the Bull dog staff, will attempt to stem the tide of the Panther attack this after noon. King has been dividing twirl- ing honors of the Baptists with 1n- gram, and should go good against the Methodists. Matthews is another Howard hurler of no mean ability. The latter shut-out the Methodists 1 to 0 on Munger Field in a game last season.
 The two coaches will probably send the same line-ups against each other this afternoon except that Acton will take Roberts or Affords place in the field and Ingram hold down the hot corner during the afternoons enter tainment Coach Brown has not am nounced any changes.

Conner. in charge of inland waterways transportation. will be in position to an nounce just when the delivery of barges destined for use on the Warrior river vii! be effected.
 He wired all contractors for such in- formation today. The great delay in de- livery is due, the contractors claim, to their inability to get steel. General Con- ner will investigate that claim.
 T am urging speed in delivering the barges, both those under construction in St. Louis and Indianapolis. said MT. Conner. But I can do little other than urge. No penalties in the contract were provided in the event of failure to de- liver at the specified time"
 Representative Oliver of the Sixth Ala bama district. who saw General Conner this morning. is hopeful but not sangulne in the hope that barges will be delivered in the near future.
 The contract was very poorly drawn, " he said. Tt was let twenty months ago, and the barges were to be delivered

After dinner country watermelons that had never been in box car or rolled around over city store floor, according kiwa- nians statement. were enjoyed, after which the men worked for several hours assisting the boys in improving their camp.
 Some cleared up a section of the under brush, others cut and skinned pine logs for one of the cabins, while still an- other group assisted M. J. Brooks and David Trotter in constructing diving boards and other improvements at the swimming hole.
 The swimming pool is one of the best in the section, and the men and boys took a swim together during the after noon. and Secretary Coons put on an exhibition with the boys, who proved themselves expert in swimming stunts, and especially in life-saving activity.
 The Kiwanians returned from their days outing very enthusiastic over the site of the camp and the work being done for the future citizens of the city by Secretary R. l.. Coons.

gave them no heed at all. He bobbed down for a bite, then popped up to watch, bobbed down for another bite and popped up again to watch.
 It was just after one of the times he had popped up to watch that he noticed smaller Shadow than any he had seen before and this Shadow seemed to be in the air instead of on the grass as the other Shadows were. Still it seemed to be Black Shadow and nothing more and he had come to look on the Black Shad = ows as his friends. It floated along straight toward him. He swallowed the clover leaf he had been chewing and bobbed down for another.
 Just as he nipped off another leat eight sharp points pricked through his coat ejust back of his shoulders and held fast as that Black Shadow tried to lift him. With a scream of fright and pain he struggled to get free Then, as suddenly as he had been seized, he was released and the Black Shadow passed up over the tops of the bushes and disappeared.
 Of course, it wasn't a Black Shad- ow at all but Spooky, the little, ,Screech Owl, who had made the mistake Of thinking the half-grown rabbit small CT than he was. But that frightened young Rabbit didn't know it was Spooky. He thought it was Black Shadow with claws.

It was moonlight when at last the cred from the shock it had given him to learn that the two handsome strangers he had seen and overheard were Granny and Reddy Fox. and be- gan to think about venturing out from his hiding place in the stone wall His stomach reminded him that he couldn't remain in hiding all the time and still live.
 He was very cautious, was this lit- tie Rabbit. You see, he had begun to really learn. He had seen Old Man Coyote and Granny and Reddy Fox, and though he didn't know the name of the former, he knew that all three were to be avoided and watched for. Best of all, he had learned that he didn't know as much as he had thought he did about the Great World, and that it is just as bad to be ignorant of danger as to be care less of it.
 So when at length he crept out from between the stones of the old wall and then out to the edge of the bushes he took the greatest care to look this way and to look that way for the longest time before venturing

Even then he would reach out for a hasty bite and then, while he ate. it, would sit up very straight to look and listen Then he would reach for another hasty bite and sit up as before. He had learned the important lesson. of not trusting to appearances.
 Now, having seen them so recently, it was. quite natural that Old Man Coyote and Granny and Reddy Fox should be the only ones that little Rabbit thought about. So he kept looking this way and that way over the Green Meadows. but never once did he look up in the air. It never entered his head that there might be danger there.
 Now, every once in a while he saw Black Shadows moving across the moonlit Green Meadows. At first they frightened him, but he soon discov- cred that they were harmless. Of course. They were merely the result of the little clouds floating across the face of Mistress Moon. So finding them so harmless the little Rabbit

NEW TELEPHONE
 EXCHANGE WILL
 ADD ID SERVICE
"Hemlock" Switchboard and Accessories Installed at a
 Cost of S232, 2,OOO-To Go In Operation Tonight

The new Hemlock exchange, which has been installed at the local office of the Southern Bell Telephone Company, will be placed in operation tonight at 10 o'clock. The installation of this switchboard has been in progress for several months and with associate apparatus, when completed, will repre- sent an additional investment of approximately S232,000, ac- cording to officials of the com pany.
 For some months it is stated the Main" exchange has been working to fuA capacity and additional tele. phones could not be connected to this office. This installation was planned and the switchboard ordered early :n 1919.
 New telephone directories have been distributed and must be used after to. night, as more than 1000 telephones, mostly in North Birmingham and Norwood. have been changed to the "Hemlock" exchange.
 GROWTH OF STATIONS
 During 1919 more than 5000 addi- tfonal telephones were installed" stated George R. Knox. Jr., district manager" while the average number of telephones installed each year from 1913 to 1918, inclusive. was $3,46o. These figures onot represent the net growth of stations, but the number of install lations of telephones al new locations. In addition to this there are approxi mately 1000 people in the city who desire service and because of lack of facilities the telephones cannot be in stalled.
 "The installation of the new Hemlock office does not mean that all who want telephones can get them for the reason that in many sections of the city the underground and aerial cables have been used up. It is not possible for the telephone company to obtain cables in sufficient quantities to meet requirements and in many sections of the city it will be more than year before ample cable facilities can be provided. However, just as soon as the cable can be gotten and installed cen- tral office equipment will be available. Present indications are that the fac tories will not be able to deliver more than about 35 per cent of the equip ment and materials that is needed dur ing the year.
 FIRE-PROOF BUILDING
 "A new fireproof building has been completed at Bessemer at cost of approximately s6s,000 The installation of new switchboards and other equip ment will cause an expenditure of s95.000 by the company in Bessemer. Additions made at the Birmingham plant or those under way will add to the company investment $375,000. which does not include the cost of connecting additional telephones from day to day.
 At the Ensley branch office an en- tirely new unit of switchboard has just been completed. It represents an additional investm ent< of $S0.000. It will admit of additional telephones be- ing installed as soon as cable facili- ties are provided. These additional cables will not be secured for several months, as the factories are unable to fill orders for telephone equipment and facilities
