Birmingham Woman, on Visit Here
Secretary
ation by Brishe of Three Magnificent AmicansThe
Through America iIiantNlis Armes Entertained at Reception

Great Britain, several wonderful
statues.
They are OF Edmund Burke, which
will be presented to the city OF
Washington; n heroic sized bust Of
William Pitt, Earl OF Chatham, FOR
whom Pittsburg was named. ana
which was presented to that city a
few days ago. and two busts of the
late Lord Bryce for Washington,
d. c. and Trinity. N. Y, churches.
Donor
These were given by Sir Charles
Wakefield of the party, formerly lord
mayor of the city of London.
Miss Armes is chairman of the
woman's executive committee of the
Sulgrave mission and did not
como through this city with the
party. leaving 1t in Atlanta, whore
she was pressed into service to or
ganize an Atlanta branch of the
commission, comprising some of the
most distinguished men and women
in letters, science, the arts and IN
private and public life.
The whole country has been swept
with enthusiasm over the coming of
distinguished Britishers and Amer
leans forming the 1922 Sulgrave mis-
sion. 1t was interesting to hear Miss
Armes tell the groups of Birming-
ham friends, who pressed her con-
corning her trip, of the elaborate
manner in which the cities of New
York, Pittsburg. Lexington, Chatta-
nooga and Atlanta entertained for
them.
There was almost something doing
every hour in these cities for them
the mayors, governors. highest Of
ficials, and citizens of the towns ar
ranging luncheons and drives, teas
and public gatherings. In New York,
the Britishers were met by caval-
cade of Is automobiles decorated with
the flags of Great Britain, Canada
and the United States. All traffic
was stopped, the procession being led
by mounted police. Police also were
stationed on the running boards of
the automobiles in order to see that
proper Difference was paid. 1t was
really thrilling.
1t is a pity, and rejection on the
city, that Birmingham did not invite
them here!
One of the great things stressed
by Miss Armes was this: "Oh, let us
in Birmingham push things artistic
and cultural. Let us have these Joys
as fully as other cities"

SYSTEM DOROPPED
Double Entrance Is Re-estab-
lished on North Birming-
ham Street Cars

The double entrance system was
re-established on the North Birming-
ham line of the Birmingham Railway,
Light and Power company Saturday
The pay-as-you enter plan Is. thus
done away with on this line, and two
men are now in charge of each car.
This change was made in response
to vigorous protests from the people
of North Birmingham against the
-you-enter system. Due to the
fact that there are four or five times
as many negroes in that district as
in any other of the city, the people
there stated that the congestion
caused under the old arrangement
was Annoying and obnoxious"
