INTERVIEW WITH MRS.
 JOE WALKER

As the date set for the Junior league charity ball draws near, the enthusiasm runs high and every one everywhere is talking about it and asking eager questions about the plans for the great occasion. or course one of the questions most of ten asked is And what are the re- treatments to be?" Mrs Joe Walker, who is one of Birmingham's most att traotive and capable young matrons, Is chairman of the refreshment con- mittee for the ball and as such can best answer this question.
 Remembering very vividly,' said Mrs. Walker recently, "the time when our acceptance of an invitation to a party depended on whether or, not they were going to have ice cream, we are acting on the theory that the anticipation of good refreshments is not without its weight even with grown-ups. So we are planning not just the conventional puncr. coffee and sandwiches, but a home made plate supper. One of the best cater esses in town is planning the menu and under her capable supervision the Junior league members are going to cook the supper. Very forum ately, everything is to be donated, so having these rather elaborate re- treatments will not reduce the pro- ceeds from the ball, which, as every one knows, go to charity. A group of charming debutantes, of whom Eva Lathrop is chairman, are to sell flowers. cigarettes and candy. The refreshment committee feels confi- dent that among the brilliant fea- lures of the charity ball it's offering will be one of the most attractive
 Mrs Walker has on her committee Mesdames W w Hazard, J. H. Cab aniss, Crawford Johnson. Jr.. A. A. Adams, Jr.. Francis Brown, Charles Woodruff, Henry B. Gray Jr., Julian Smith, Fred Fite, and w. V. M. Rob- ertsOn IT.

COAL SHORTAGE IN RUHR
 BENEFITS CARDIFF DEALERS

CARDIFF, Wales, June 2-Car- diff has profited enormously by the stoppage of coal shipments in the Ruhr Valley Hundreds of thousands of tons of coal have been sent to French and other European ports which might otherwise have been sent from the Ruhr mines.
 Some British coal merchants have proved that it is practicable to ship coal from Cardiff to Eastern Canada and undershell there coal from Pen sylvania. This is new avenue of trade which Cardiff's thrifty coal traders are developing. The fore sight behind it is emphasized by the fact that those directing the opera tions have bought large timber tracks in Canada so as to ship crops for coal mines as return cargoes. Wood pulp and grain are also be- ing carried on the homeward journ- ey, thus avoiding any profitless voy- ages in uneconomic ballast.

LONDON TRAFFIC
 KILLING MANY

LONDON, June 5-More persons are killed by traffic accidents in the streets of London in a year than passengers on the whole of the rail ways in Great Britain in a similar period. During the last year 5O5 persons in London were killed by automobiles and motor trucks 63 by motor omnibuses, 59 by horse power vehicles, 35 by trolley cars, and p by bicyles.
 The major number of accidents do not occur at congested points, such as Trafalgar Square, Oxford Circus, or the Bank, where traffic is specially regulated
 They take place more frequently in the main arteries toward the outer suburbs, where motor drivers are inclined to be less careful in negotiating crossings and corners, and where pedestrians, particularly children, are less vigilant in cross ing roads.
