TO SEE AND HEAR USs London Plans Museum Of Film And - PhOnOsrapls Records :.e,- <.

The future will both see and hear us if the rest of the world adopts plans which are now being made to establish a film and photograph record museum in London, says the Living Age.
 Whether the generations to come are to be congratulated or. commiserated for having their ancestors thrust upon them instead of conveniently escaping them, as other generations have always done, is a question to be touched on with discreet and appropriate lghtness.
 The new museum, if it is formed, will be built around the nucleus of film all ready in possession of the imperial war museum. There are hundreds of thou sands of feet of moving picture film in this collection, reporting historic mili- tary and naval engagements of the war, among which are the Battle of the Somme and the blocking of Zeebrugge harbor. &N .st
 Hitherto preservation of films has been difficult because the negatives from which they are made eventually con tract, but. a new celiuloid material, which is unshrinkablei and unburnable, promises to solve this difficulty.
 One film also in existence chronicles events as far back as 1899, showing Queen Victoria's visit to Dublin in. that year and her funeral in 1900 with the former kaiser as one of the mourners.

The automobile dealer alone safe gdsfds the car owner from the heavy Appreciation that the innovations in car design and construction put into tbe market every. year,, says r. R. McCormack of Mccormack Bros. Mo tor Co. s.
 The millions of cars that might be rssarded as obsolete by the automotive engineer must be kept in serviceable condition.

GETTING THE TEA HABIT New York Business. Men. Acquire. Eng fish Custom of Afternoon Drinking

fish Custom of Afternoon Drinking
 And now traveling Britisher who calls himself '.tea ambassador" to Amer ica has. just left us with the assurance that he has already started the: vogue of afternoon tea drinking in New York;. says The New York Sun and Globe.
 And he doesn't mean social tea drink ing. among the butterfly clases in one another'ss drawing rooms or hotel palm rooms. What he means is the solid, solemn tea drinking of all classes, high and low, as it prevails in England.
 In support of his sanguine statement he said he had seen tea served im four New York offices. Which. may mean that four tired. business men, en- vious of the lunch counter dissipa tions of their employees, shave installed tea wagons and sanovafs in their sanctums, hard by their mahogany desks. Or 1t may mean that we are actually face to. face. with the English custom by which everybody in, the place, from manager to sub-assistant deputy office boy, gets haK. an hour off for his tea and mullins.

French Court Restores Good Name Of
 Soldier UnjustIy Executed
 On February 1s, 1915, Lucien Bersot, private in the 6Oth infantry regi- ment of the Frech army, was shot for refusing an issue of clothing. As a result of a long agitation by the League of the Rights of Man the verdict was quashed seven years later by the court of criminal appeal, the memory of Lu- cien Bersot rehAbilitated by. decree. and his widow and child awarded 10000 francs compensation, says the Manches- ter.G .Guardian. E
 : The Paris rQuotidien'' is now sup porting the demand of the League of the Rights of Man for the punishment of the officer responsible for the sem tence. This officer, says the "Quoti- .dien," now holds an important position in the war ministry.
 According to sworn statement of NJ. de velna. a magistrate, then serv- ing as n sergeant, who, acted as the judges clerk in the case, he was sent for; by his colonel, Feb. F, 1915.
 Sergeant" the colonel said, q have sent for you because I am faced with rebellion among my soldiers, and I in tend to make some examples. must kill one or two of thenl.p The, colonel then handed Sergeant de veIna the dos sier of the case. From this it appeared that Bers0t, needing q pair of duck trousers, had repeatedly applied for them, and was at length offered pair which had become soiled in store. He refused to take this pair, and on being ordered by his lieutenant to do so he still refused. For this he was given a weeks Imprisonment. At this news his comrades were indignant; regard ing the punishment as unjust, they sent in a protest. to the lieutenant. ,5z
 You see, sergeant said the colonel, '.it is as I told you. Rebellion by his comrades, and refusal of obedience by Bersot. That means the death penalty. It is clear" - F
 The sergeant protested, but the colo nei insisted on bringing Bersot before court martial over which he presided himself. 'Bersot was condemned to death, 9s.s f.c>. .i.s ..... ....-.s, :.
