The Afro-American

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN --- VOL. XXIV. No. 47 TROOPS RAISED IN MANY STATES New Jersey Following New York Asks for a Colored Regiment. "If we have to enter Mexico, she will ne'er forget the day. Her name might change from Mexico, to the good old U. S. A." While the folks back home are fearful lest the Mexican wangle ripen into something more serious than the exchange of diplomatic notes, the militia encamped on the border are anxious for the fray and predict direful results should Uncle Sam be forced to go into the little country south of us. Hardly less impatient than any are the colored militiamen from the several states. These men are working like Trojans to get themselves into condition to meet the enemy, and pay them back for the Carrizal affair. Colored troops in camp include the First Separate Battalion of the District of Columbia, the first Negro Battalion to go, and the "cleanest regiment in the bunch." A newspaper correspondent who looked over these troopers before leaving for the border said if he was depending on somebody to protect him from the Mexicans or anybody else, he would rather have the Jaz, meaning colored regiment than anyone else. Company L, the only one in the Sixth Massachusetts, has been recruited to its full quota, and both officers and men have taken the Federal oath. The First Separate Company of Connecticut and the First Separate Battalion of Ohio, are preparing for service in case they are needed. Maryland's First Separate Company went into camp at Laurel after the departure of the whites. The new Negro regiment of New Yory, which has been named the 15th Infantry, is recruiting men a rapid rate and already company A has been mustered in. All field officers of this regiment are to be white. In Harrishburg, Pa., Milwaukee, Wis., and Ypsilanti, Mich., colored companies are being filled up, and New Jersey, following New York, has petitioned its Governor for authorization to form a colored regiment. The petition of the representatives of the Federation of Colored Organizations. It reads as follows: "From Bunker Hill in 1775, to Carrizal in 1916, the blood of the black men has mingled with the blood of the white men, to make this country the great nation it is today. With that same patriotic devotion of our fathers we are in union. We stand ready now as they did in their day to offer our lives upon the altar of sacrifice for this country. "We call upon the Governor of this State to take steps toward organizing a regiment of colored men, so that we too, at this critical hour in the international relations of our country, will have an opportunity to enter the ranks of the State maliaia where they can share the trials and triumphs of military life. "The ninety thousand colored citizens of New Jersey can be counted among the most loyal of her population. They have no divided allegiance. We therefore urge that the chief executive of this State place a part of the military honor and glory of New Jersey within the keeping of a regiment of colored men. SUMMER SCHOOL AT PRINCESS ANNE ACADEMY Princess Anne, Md., July 13—The Summer School at Princess Anne Academy is now well under way with its work in the interest of rural school teachers.

H.*Kiah, of Princess Anne, psychology; Miss Lida Brown, English; Miss Agnes Wright, of Baltimore, Domestic Science and Art; Miss F. L. Murphy, Baltimore, Methods; Miss Alice Lockerman, Games, John E. Smith, Agriculture, and R. S. Cordery, Woodwork. PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY IN THE INTEREST OF THE RACE. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, JULY 15, 1916. NANNIE BURROUGHS ANSWERS BACK Lincoln Heights, D. C., July 13—Miss Nannie Burroughs, head of the National Training School for Colored Girls, an institution situated at Lincoln Heights, D. C., financed by the Womens Convention of the Baptist Church, has been severely criticized for her advocacy of strict neutrality of the Women's Convention until the split in the National Baptist Convention has been healed. In a public statement Miss Burroughs replies to those who believe this a move to use the property of the National Training School for her own purposes. She says: "Now a few rogues and crooks think I have the Training school property fixed so I can come in possession of it. I have a few clothes, bric-a-brac, and furniture that I brought from Louisville, or bought since I came here. Other than this I do not own a sprig of grass or a grain of sand on Lincoln Heights. Seven years ago the Negro Baptist Women did not own as much as $200 worth of property. Today they have a plant valued at $63000 What I have labored to accumulate is not mine. I am a trustee for the convention and I will faithfully discharge my duty." "The legal owner or this property is the Women's Convention. That organization will never have to spend one cent in court, nor one hour to fight to get what is theirs. I am not a rogue I am a trustee." "If those who spend their time misinterpreting correspondence, impusing motives, questioning honesty, would spend half as much time praying, and the other half praying God to answer their prayers, the Negroes would face a new day, and the young people who are looking with amazement and 'disgust at this,' would throw themselves deservedly into the service. BRAXTON WINS THE TENNIS TOURNAMENT "Winnie" Braxton gave a double demonstration to the little band of tennis "fans" who witnessed the championship match for the cup offered by the Monumental City Tennis Club, at Druid Hill Park, last Friday afternoon. "Winnie" first proved that he is able to absent himself from the game for a few years and then "come back"; he also proved himself to be the master of all the local tennis cracks, by defeating Dr. Rhetta, who has recently been taking all the scalps of everyone he has met—that is until Friday. Early in the game it was apparent that the Doctor was out for the cup and the honors carried with it, for the first three games he won in short order. Several decisions of Umpire Reckling resulted in some little unsportsmanlike badness at this stage of the match, but after that the feeling between the players throughout the match was excellent. Braxton took his first game, and Rhetta won two more making it 5-1. Braxton then took four in a row, making matters even. The tide of the battle ebbed and flowed until Rhetta won the first set 5-7. Relieved of the annoyance of the sun shining in his eyes, Braxton put a little more "pep" in his playing in the second set and won 6-3. In the third set Doc seemed to lose that dogged fighting spirit, which had placed him so close to the title, for in this section of the game he only got one game. He made a short spurt in the final set, but as Braxton expressed it, the only way he could win the cup then was "by violence," and so in the terms of the roped arena, he simply "hung on" to the finish. Final set 6-3. COLORED TEACHERS TO MEET Nashville, Tenn., July 13—The city of Negro culture and prosperity, is to be the headquarters this summer for the National Association for Teachers in Colored Schools. An elaborate program has been planned for trains, lodgings and special outings, which always accompany this organization in large cities. "I don't see," said John Hope, president of the Association and president of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. "why this shouldn't be the biggest meeting in our history. You see Nashville is located just right. It is near neighbor to Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi. Arkansas, indeed handy to the South generally, and at this time of the year to the North. year to Moreover, Mr. Morehouse pointed out, the time and place are happily situated this year in that Nashville is right on the road to Kansas City, Mo., where he business League, and several other big conventions are to meet President Hope, Secretary J. R. E. Lee W. T. B. Williams, and N. B. Young, and others are trying to arrange their sessions so that teachers and others making the trip West can stop over, attend the meetings of he Association see Nashville, and go to Kansas in time for the convention to be held PHILADELPHIANS BOYCOTT JEWS Removal of Colored Policemen Arouses Citizens to BISHOP COPPIN'S VIEWS Negro "Preparedness" in Business by Opening Colored Stores Philadelphia, Pa., July 12—Removal of colored policemen from the South Street neighborhood and appointment of white policemen in their places have stirred the colored people of this city to unite in order to prevent what Bishop Levi J. Coppin described as a "preliminary effort to eliminate Negroes from the police force of Philadelphia entirely." The South Street Business Men's Association is held responsible for the removal of the policemen over whom a war is being fought with economic weapons. Harry Levy, its president, denied this and offered to give $100 to any Negro charity if the assertion could be proved. He also said that a boycott against Jewish merchants was being conducted for political reasons alone. Director Wilson, of the Department of Public Safety, passed to the South Street Business Men's Association all responsibility for the removal of the officers off South Street from Broad to Seventh. To a delegation of Negro business men and clergy, he declared that representatives of the Association had asked for white patrolmen and two mounted policemen. They complained that numerous robberies had been committed in the vicinity and that they did not have sufficient police protection. We investigated these complaints, found them justified and made the desired change. Boycott Declared A colored citizen's association, led by representative men, sent the following circular to every home: "The South Street Business Men's Association, has, by a petition requested the removal of colored policemen from South street, so should the colored customers be who make it possible for them to exist. We want all colored people to withhold their patronage from the stores on this street conducted by white merchants, even if at a sacrifice, and make purchases at other places." Bishop Coppin's Views Bishop L. J. Coppin, a member of the committee which recently drafted the resolution setting in operation the boycott against Jews, asserted that the white merchants have now a monopoly on trading conditions, but that sentiment among members of his race was growing to such an extent that Negro business houses may very shortly be opened to compete with the stores now in operation. "One man alone has promised to give $1000 toward a fund which will be raised to establish the Negro in business," he said. "Preparedness, you know, is a pretty good thing." DR CHILDS NOT REELECTED Washington, July 12—The District of Columbia Supreme Court appointed three new members of the Board of Education to succeed President H. P. Blair, Mrs. E. K. Kern, both white, and Dr. Creed Childs. The new members are Rev. John Van Seahk, pastor of the Church of Our Father, Mrs. M. Spaulding Gerry, both white, and Dr. L. Hayden Johnson. The change is regarded as a defeat of the faction that supports Asst. Superintendent R. C. Bruce, and the Court's statement. "as an administrative policy, they thought the time had arrived to make radical changes in the personnel of the Board," leaves some apprehension of changes in public school affairs. VACATION RATES.

REFUSED LICENSE TO MARRY NEGRO Missouri Girl, Who Would Wed Colored Youth Re_ fused License. St. Louis, Mo., July 18—Mrs. Alice accompanied her daughter Mary Alice, 16 years old, to St. Louis, Wednesday to give her consent to the marriage of the girl to Alexander Wright, defended her notion on the ground that she did it to save her daughter's life. The girl, she told Marriage License Clerk Ruedi, who is infatuated with Wright, whom she has known only three months, has twice attempted to commit suicide when her parents sought to keep her away from him, and has threatened to kill herself if she is not allowed to marry him. Mrs. DeLand said she and her husband idolize the child, and as the only solution of the problem, as they saw it, were willing to make this sacrifice to save their child from self destruction. DeLand is foreman of a railroad gang and has worked with Wright for the past nine months. Miss Alice has known Wright for only three months. Ruedi questioned the girl and Wright who accompanied the mother to the City Hall. The girl, who is timid and shy looking, spoke in a tone so low she could hardly be heard and repeatedly looked at Wright as if appealing to him to aid her in answering. Ruedi informed the prospective bride and bridegroom that the Missouri laws did not permit the marriage of whites and colored. The trio was downcast at this announcement, and Mrs. DeLand inquired where such marriages were permitted. "I do not know what States permit them," said Ruedi. "but take my advice and do not try any of the Southern States." DR. OLIVER DELEGATE TO EDUCATIONAL CONG Brazil. Ind.—Dr. J. B. Oliver, a prominent physician of this place has been notified by Governor Ralston, of his appointment as a delegate to represent Indiana at the tenth annual Negro Educational Congress, which will hold its sessions at Washington, D. C. from August 28, to 26. Dr. Oliver has accepted the honor and will attend the Congress if his extensive practive will permit. PASTOR MARRIES FORMER ORGANIST Cambridge, Mass., July 10—Rev. James A. Wright recently called to the charge of the Talcott Street Congregational Church, of Hartford, Conn., and for the past three years pastor of the Zion Congregational Church, of Haverhill, Mass., was quietly married this week. The bride is Miss Wilhemina Wilson, granddaughter of Mr. and Mrs. Whaley, of North Cambridge one of the oldest and most influential families in the state. The wedding was very quiet with only the immediate relatives present as witnesses. After the ceremony the couple left for Hartford, Conn., where they expect to be at home after January 17, 1917, in the newly remodeled parsonage of the church. Mrs. Wright was a member of the 1918 class of the Haverhill High School, and for some time organist in Zion Church. Rev. Wright, of 532 W. Biddle street, and Wrihtb, of 532 W. Biddle street, and is well-known in Baltimore. MAKE NEW LODGE Princess Anne, Md., July 12—A new lodge of Pyhians was organized here Wednesday of this week. The lodge was set apart by Grand Chancellor George A. Watty, assisted by H. M. St. Clair, John Henderson and Samuel E. Hayward. NEW YORK WELCOMES VISITORS NEW YORK WELCOMEVISITORS New York, July 12—The Music Settlement, 6 West 131st street, informally entertained the teachers attending the sessions of the National Educational Association. Miss M. R. Lyon, the president, presided and W. E. B. DuBois gave a short talk. Among the Baltimore teachers were Howard E. Young, Miss Edna Maddox, Miss Emma E. Bright, Miss Cornelia Wilson and Adolph Peterson. PRICE THREE CENTS BUT MEETS DEATH Crisfield, Md., July 13.—M. Taylor O. Wilson, one of the most prominent merchants and political leaders of Crisfield, met his death suddenly, Sunday night, when his big touring car turned turtle in the act of avoiding a collision with an unknown vehicle. Mr. Wilson was thrown to the ground with such force that his skull was crushed, and death resulted a few minutes after reaching the Peninsula General Hospital in Salisbury. Stetson Wilson, a son of the dead man, had a broken collar bone. Three other members of the party were only slightly injured. The Wilson auto was returning from a camp at Fruitland in order to take the party to the services at St. Paul's A. M. E. Church of which he was an active member. Mr. Wilson, who was driving came upon the horse and buggy suddenly and in order to avoid running them down, turned his machine sharply to one side of the road. The speed of his machine hurled him over the engine and he struck the hard state road with frightful force. Mr. Wilson was at one time a member of the Custom House force in Baltimore. In his own town and county he weilded a strong political influence and in fraternal circles he was known as an active member of the Knights of Pythias and Masons. A wire and two sons are the survivors in the immediate family. SUR-COMMITTEE TO MEET Philadelphia, Pa., July 13—The semi-annual session of the Sub-committee of Management of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows will be held here next week at the headquarters of the Order, Spruce and 12th street. The session will be an important one, coming just before the 18th session of the Biennial Movable Committee, which will be held in Washington the second week in September. Much of the business done by the Order during the past two years will be considered. The session will bring together a number of prominent Odd Fellows. It is expected that candidates for the big offices, during the next two years will be discussed in an informal way. The Morris forces are in control and will most likely dictate the slate to be voted upon in September. The affairs of the Order in Georgia will come up for consideration it is believed. B. J. Davis, grand secretary for that State, was suspended at the January meeting. Following some litigation in the Fulton County Superior Court, Atlanta, a receiver was appointed and Davis named by Court order as advisor. That continued him as district grand secretary, though suspended. COLORED PLAYERS COMING The Colonial Theatre. Eutaw street near Mulberry, will be opened next month with a colored company, and for colored patrons. First class plays, such as "Within the Law," "Othello," "Bought and Paid For," "Under Cover," "Paid in Full," and "Kick In," and other legitimate Broadway productions will be produced. All the players, as well as all the attendants, as far as is possible to secure them will be colored people. Mr. Robert Levy, who represents the Quality Amusement Company, under which the theatre will be operated, is a subsidiary of the Elite Corporation, which controls a number of theatres throughout the country. The company now controls the Lafayette theatre. New York. The National, Philadelphia, and the Howard, in Washington. PROVIDENT HOSPITAL BENEFIT AS THE SCAR TREATEE The management of the Star Theatre on East Monument street, near Bond, has donated the use of their theatre and the employees their services on Sunday, July 23rd for a musical concert to be rendered by the Invincible Four who are playing at the Star Theatre this week. This is the first and only appearance of the Invincible Four in Baltimore. They are playing this Friday and Saturday and the week of July 17th to 22nd at the Star Theatre and on Sunday, July 23rd for the benefit of the Provident Hospital, at which time there will be a silver collection. The management has inofirmed us that this is the greatest colored musical act that has ever appeared in Baltimore. The company consists of Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Johnson, and their daughter, Miss Dorothy, also Mr. Edward Mackey. Both of the gentlemen are blind but are very proficient performers. BALTIMOREANS AT SEA ISLE Sea Isle, N. J., July 14—Among the recent arrivals at the Sea Isle House were Mr. and Mrs. George W. Frey, of Baltimore. Other prominent arrivals during the week included Rev. and Mrs. Garnett R. Waller, of Springfield, Mass., formerly of Baltimore. Largest Session in the History of the Order in State is Expected. WATTY TO BE RETAINED No Opposition in Evidence to the Present Head of the Order. Two or three hundred Pythians will leave Baltimore on Sunday night and Monday morning, for Crisfield, Md., where the 27th annual session of the Maryland Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias will be held on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Elaborate preparations have been made by the citizens of Crisfield for the entertainment of the visiting Sir Knights and one of the largest sessions in the history of the Order in Maryland in prospect. This has been one of the most prosperous years in the history of the order, five new lodges having been created in different parts of the State, with a membership aggregating over two hundred. This with the additions made to the other lodges during the year will probably bring the membership well up towards four hundred. In striking contrast to the past two years is the unanimity of opinion concerning the retention of Grand Chancellor George A. Watty in his present position as head of the Order. His sterling worth and able leadership have commended him to Pythians all over the State and from present indications his election will be unanimous. While it is generally conceded that with Mr. Watty, Messrs. H. M. St. Clair, of Cambridge, Md., grand master of exchequer; Josiah Diggs, grand keeper of records and seal; Dr. Charles H. Fowler, grand medical examiner, and Mr. J. Edward Smith, grand vice chancellor, will be relected to their respective positions; indications are that several of the other candidates will have rough sailing. Mr. Allen Pratt, who is master at arms, will undoubtedly have formidable opposition. Mr. Pratt was elected last year by a large majority. Since that time, however, it has leaked out, according to report, that he "doublecrossed" the organization forces and while making profuse promises to support them, was in reality working for the "insurgents." Naturally, as one of the organization force puts it, "we can hardly be expected to line up with one who can not be absolutely depended upon to do the right thing at all times." At the same time the "insurgents" are claiming that "all Pratt wanted was the votes" and that it was the end and not the means that concerned him. Unless Mr. Pratt can explain away the cloud that is hanging over him, his chances of reelection are regarded as being slim. As yet no one has openly announced his candidacy for the position, but it is expected that a "dark horse" will be sprung before the convention is many hours old. Mr. Lonnie Branch, who defeated J. Philip Henson last year as grand lecturer will probably have opposition but will likely be reelected. Rev. C. B. Bishop will also probably have formidable opposition. The fact that the position he holds—grand prelate—has generally been acknowledged as a "county job," may militate against him somewhat. Almost every eligible member in the grand lodge will be a candidate for the position of representative to the Supreme Lodge which meets in St. Louis in 1917. Prominent among the candidates are Messrs H. M. St. Clair, Clinton A. Davis, Truly Hatchett, Gen. Lewis E. Williams, Thaddeus Copeland General George Carter and John Henderson. While there is always a general disposition among the organization forces to "let them fight it out," it is expected that the general popularity of Mr. St. Clair and the fact that Gen. Williams is the ruling head of the uniform department, will be determining factors in polling for them a majority of the votes. BISHOP WALTERS RECOVERING New York, July 14—Bishop Alexander Walters, senior prelate of the A. M. E. Zion Church, is recovering from illness due to overwork. He has received messages from all parts of the country wishing an early recovery. Committee of Citizens that efficiently managed the Safe and Sane Celebration in Druid Hill Park on July 4th.

The editorial of the Afro-American of June 24th, which asked the question, "What is the matter with a swimming pool for Baltimore in the Druid Hill Park Playground, or better still, in the densely populated section of the Division Street School, drew from Mr. Eugene Levering, chairman of the Public Bath Commission, the following statement: "I note with interest your question as to the possibilities or an out-door swimming bath for the colored people in the Northwestern section of our city." "In reply I beg to state that our committee has no money, except as granted by the Board of Estimates, which moneys, as you are doubtless aware, are provided from year to year in the regular budget. The budget is made up in September, so that your best policy would be to apply to the said Board about that time, asking for an appropriation to cover the construction of a bath for your people as outlined. Our Commission would certainly not oppose such a proposition, and if the Board of Estimates grants it we would be willing to do the needful in caring for the same. Yours very truly In the neighboring city of Washington, the large swimming tank in the 13th street Y. M. C. A. has afforded relief to thousands of young men and boys during the summer months. The public swimming pool erected in LeDroit Park, opposite the Freedmen's Hospital, and opened last month to the public has swimming hours for both sexes. Since opening it has been used to its capacity. The willingness of the local Bath Commission to defray the cost of operation, once the swimming bath is constructed, provides a very necessary item in procuring the adoption of the plan by the Board of Estimates. It is most unlikely that the Board would favor appropriation to cover cost of operation as well as cost or building and equipment. For this reason the outlook for this much needed, long discussed public utility appears much brighter than ever before. Swimming Exhibition and Contest The colored branch of the Y. M. C. A. will hold a swimming exhibition and contest at Brown's Grove on the 11th of August. The contest will be open to everybody including boys over 15 years of age. There will be contestants from Washington, and Philadelphia, and in fact, one event will be con tested by three branch Associations. The events that will feature the exhibition are: 1-mile swim, 440 yard swim, (inter-club), live duck race, 100 yard race, 50 yard race, under water race and a neat and fancy diving contest including ten different dives and fancy stunts in the water. Five medals will be offered by the local branch Association. Can you swim? Do you like the water? If you cannot answer these ques tions go to Brown's Grove on August 11, and witness the first exhibition of it home in the water". This promis to be the greatest event in the history of the grove.

FOUR HUNDRED BAPTIZED The Morning Star Baptist Church of Catonsville held its most successful meeting of the season at Greenwood Electric Park, Catonsville, Sunday, July 10 Following a stirring sermon by the Pastor, Rev.

All bands are invited at any time and at all services. Rev. J. W. Quarles, pastor; Sister L. Murrell, church clerk. Ad There was an unusual excitement on St. Mary's Street early Wednesday morning, when the efforts of two policemen were required to get a lone woman to the patrol box at the corner of Druid Hill avenue and Orchard St. The woman fought the patrolmen all of the way and was quited but not thoroughly subdued only by the use of "hlppers." On the arrival of the wagon, the woman's fury broke out again, and the two officers and driver were cuffed soundly before she could be safely landed inside. At the Northwestern Station, the woman gave her name as Grace Butler, and her residence as 410 St. Marys street. She stated she refused to pay her rent because of the vermin that infested the room. She told the Magistrate that bugs crawled along a wire from the adjoining room." They came in such numbers," she continued, "that I had to place a basin underneath the bed to catch the blood." "Five dollars and costs," said the Judge, and in default, Grace is spending some time at the city's cost. The patrolmen had come upon the woman attempting to get back into the house after ejectment and took her on the charge of disorderly conduct. The Associated Charities say that she is demented and are attempting to find a place for her at Bayview. CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH REV. N. M. CARROLL, D. D., PASTOR CENTENNIAL M. E. CHURCH REV. N. M.

The Dean's latest effort, "The New Negro," is expected from the press of Neale and Company early in August. This group of essays and especially the last one which gives the book its title ought to be interesting as embodying the Dean's profoundest philosophy of the race problem.

In stewing such fruits as blackberries, cherries, raspberries, peaches and pineapple, there is usually a surplus of juice that we cannot use. To each pint of juice allow a quart of cold water; sweeten to taste and add the juice of one lemon. Put in a bottle and set on ice until cold—a delicious drink. Or take the thick juice, add the juice of one lemon, sweeten to taste and serve in sherbert glasses with a tablespoonful of crushed ice in each glass. ARE YOU INTERESTED IN MINING ..INVESTMENTS..

It seems odd that a white girl and her parents should take extraordinary pains to secure license towed a colored youth in a State where intermarriage is forbidden, but there is a wealth of pathos in the situation where the law keeps two people apart who love each other because of, or in spite of their difference of race. The decision of the District of Columbia Supreme Court two months ago to the effect that women who desire may teach after marriage has not caused a rush of the female teachers to the marriage license clerk. Since the city of New York setled the matter in its highest court early in the present year, it has been felt to be only the matter of time before married women will be accorded teacher's privileges throughout the country. A bill before the Georgia legislature proposes to stop lynching by discharging the sheriff who has the prisoner in charge for non-performance of duty. This affords an insight into Georgia character which values a human life and justice so lightly. The comment of the Columbus, Georgia, Ledger is enlightening: "The provision in the above is entirely too drastic, and such a measure will hardly get through in the whole." "That a Negro is burned is a sufficient announcement." says the Indianapolis Freeman as a reason for its failure to publish any details of the Waco horror, or give publicity to the Anti-Lynching Fund. It continues "Weep and you weep alone," is a strange saying, but true enough. / This does not mean that we should be indifferent. It means a sense of resignation that becomes a race that finds itself a world's target." The arrogance of the white Lodger and the Chinese humility of the colored Freeman epitomize the "problem" of race attrition in America. THAT SHORTAGE OF LABORERS One hundred colored laborers from New Orleans have been transported North to take the place of striking Italians on the Delaware and Hudson Railroad. The Pennsylvania Railroad employed one hundred as track workers on the Schuykill division and found them so satisfactory that agents have been sent South to engage one hundred more. George A. Mahone, direcor of the Federal Employment Bureau of Maryland, says there never has been such a demand for unskilled labor as at present, and that his bureau has been deluged with requests for yaborers of this character, which it appears cannot be supplied. There are two reasons why the labor bureaus are unable to meet the demands made upon them. First the European war has caused a stoppage of immigration and the thousands of foreigners who had yearly recruited the ranks of unskilled workers in America have found enough to do to recruit the ranks of the fighting armies. Then the opening of many new factories, especially the munitions factories, which in their need of men offered high wages as an inducement. The higher wage offered by the factories, as well as the larger opportunity for leisure and self-advancement that the union worker enjoys, has worked a hardship upon the farmer who cannot offset these inducements. It is gratifying to note the satisfactory service that the colored workingman of the South is doing as a laborer on the railroads of the North. His great strength and cheerful disposition make him especially suitable for this work. We commend to the director of the Federal Employment Bureau of this State the example of these Northern Railroads and add this word of Booker Washington's: "Let down your buckets where you are." The South is full of laborers Americans, who are able and willing to relieve the shortage of the labor market for some years to come. THE WAY TO CITIZENSHIP The Federated Organizations of the State of New Jersey, whose petition for the formation of a regiment composed of colored men only from the 90,000 population of that State lies before Governor Fielder, requests that "the chief executive of the State place a part of the military honor and glory of New Jersey within the keeping of a regiment of colored men." The State of New Jersey is no wit more tolerant of the colored man than any other Middle Atlantic State but in spite of this, he is willing to sacrifice his life if need be, to win distinction, approbation and praise for his home State. Call it patriotism if you will, but in the final summary, it will be found to be the instinctive love of fighting that is urging him on. If there is more than this, then we can add the love of a uniform and the glamor of soldiering. Others who are less primitive and more selfish, are imbued with the notion that this praise and admiration, or to use their own words, "honor and glory" gained in the service of the State, will result in increased respect and ultimate full citizenship for the Negro. How mistaken they are. The same regiment, the Tenth, that fought so bravely at Carvizal, fought quite as bravely at San Juan. Their fathers won equal distinction in every war of the Union. But full citizenship has not resulted from their efforts. Fighting can give a reputation but it never has and never will give character. That same Tenth wishing to travel from Baltimore to Annapolis would be placed in Jim Crow cars. Britian's black Sengalese have gained a notorious reputation for fighting qualities in France, but the end of the war will not find them full British subjects. What this eagerness of colored people to enlist does show is that they in large numbers would fight nobly for the flag. The way to citizenship lies in fighting courageously and with good spirit to the end for social, political and civil rights. Removal of colored policemen from South Street, Philadelphia, under protest of the Jewish merchants, is heralded as the "ill wind that will blow the Negroes good." A line of co-operative stores owned and managed by colored people is planned to get the trade of the boycotted Jews. According to a recent issue of the Crisis, Collier's Weekly wants neither colored solicitors nor subscribers. After the slur cast upon the women of the race by that sheet we can see no good reason why either colored solicitors or readers should desire even to handle much less read it. We had the very great pleasure several years ago to give it our opinion of it straight from the shoulder, and although we had subscribed for it for a year, and less than half that time had passed, we declined even to allow it to enter our office, much less our home. PICTURES Do you have pictures in your home? What kind are they? Why did you put them there? What do they mean to you? And to others? Did you ever stop and think? Pictures are the greatest educational forces in the world. Indeed we had almost said that pictures are the only educational force. When the child first comes into the world its biggest task is to take in the pictures around it, and it begins to show intelligence to the extent that it recognizes pictures. The first attempt of the child to read is in pictures. How many of us have watched our little ones telling the story of pictures to themselves and their associates. And when he reads the letters of a book they are real to him only as they bring pictures to the mind. The best teaching today does not concern itself with abstract alphabet, because it is hard to picture "A" or "B," but it concerns itself with word pictures. And every word the child learns is a picture. The moving pictures have attained instant success, not because so much capital was behind them as for the fact that they responded to a vital need in the human soul. Everybody can understand the moving pictures. The value of pictures is being more and more recognized by the government, and millions of dollars are being spent annually in art galleries for our municipalities, so that the best paintings and drawings might be brought to the humblest citizen. Why is all this? Because pictures are the world's greatest educator.

THE FORUM. To the Editor. Please permit me to thank you for the excellent publicity and news service you gave to the recent Safe and Sane Forth of July celebration at the Ames M. E. Church and Drudl Hill Park. You performed a real public service and helped materially the success of the movement. I wish also to thank the Churches, the Sunday Schools, and the day schools for their very splendid cooperation with the Executive Committee, both in the way of contributions and publicity. Every denomination in the city helped. Besides making a glorious Fourth of July for 20,000 or more people, big and little, white and colored, our churches and schools showed themselves fully alive to the demands of social service and real patriotism, and their example marks a long step forward along the inclined plane of modern civilization. Distinctly worthy of mention, too, is the support in the way of contributions and personal effort given by many thoughtful, loyal, individual citizens. In fact, the whole celebration was a convincing demonstration of what colored people can be and what they can do. Now, lets all look forward to a still greater grander celebration for the 4th of July, 1917. H. T. PRATT REV. STEWART SURPRISED A most elaborate and pleasant surprise was planned and tastefully executed by the Ladies Auxiliary Ushers Board of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church upon their pastor, Rev. Charles E. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart. Wednesday evening at the church parsonage. Suddenly and without warning from out of the stillness of the night came a stream of young ladies all dressed in white, each carrying a necessity of the evening's festivities and singing a song of welcome, and entered the front door of the parsonage without knocking or asking admission. They took possession of the entire house, made themselves at home and rendered a most beautiful musical program and enjoyed a social evening after which elaborate refreshments were served. During the evening the young people made the house fairly ring with music and mirth in their welcome to the new pastor and his wife. At a late hour they departed leaving a table laden with the delicacies of the season. Those present were Mrs. Thomas Mitchell, Charles Tolson, Mary Lancaster, Jennie Rouse, Estella Jones, Mannie Wallace, Cora Roberts, Maggie Eeeney, Josephine Bonds, Augusta Chew, Lucy Wallace, Annie Stafford, Emma Sydney, Bertha Long and Wilhelmina Henry; the Misses Mary Harris, Lillian Dougherty, Mamie Nicholson, Jeanette Robinson, and Messrs.

Chicago, Ill.—The world continues to grow and move too, and I am not growing. I am moving with the world and if I keep on going as I am now, it is hard to tell where I am going to end. I am not headed for Kansas City to see about the meeting of the Nation al Negro Business League and to see if I am going to have a place there. There is much going on in this country, and I have been to one Sunday School convention, the Wood River Baptist Sunday School Convention, which met last week in Decatur, Ill., and believe me they had one big convention. I shall never forget the good time and the good things which were there. The Convention opened July 4th, with the Teachers' Institute, and as soon as they were through with that they had the convention. When I say Teachers' Institute, you may know just what I mean. The teachers and workers in the Sunday School came together for one big study of the lesson and to improve themselves. In this way they were better prepared to teach the Word and they do teach it believe me. At the head of this part of the organization was Rev. T. L. Smith, of Quiney. He has been on the walk a long time, and he declares that he is not tired yet. He is one of the oldest Sunday School workers I have ever seen and then he is a preacher. He tries hard to keep pace with the young men, and is succeeding in it. He has a live church and some live people behind him. Have been stopping with men for a long time but I never stopped with one who soaked his teeth in water every night, and when this is done it is impossible for him to do much talking. Dr. T. L. Smith just took his teeth out every night and put them in a glass of water and got up in the morning and put them in again. I tried this with mine but failed. I have seen women with hair that they could take off and put on the shelf at night and grow it on again the next morning but never before have I seen movable teeth. I suppose it will be after a while that a man can take off his head at night and put it up where it will be safe while he sleeps. I tried to get Dr.Smith to explain it to me, but he did not seem to like it, and I did not say any more about it. The Wood River Convention went into session on time. Rev. E. H. Borden, who has served as president for a long time, was called to Texas, and he returned, opened the convention, and went on about his business trying to do good. But there were many who deired to succeed him. I looked at all the aspiring young men and heard the speeches made for them to take the position. This was nice. There was a man from Springfield who had made a big canvas, but he was left. The men thought that his time was not yet. Next found me talking to President ason, who is a fine preacher as well as a good pastor. He is a man who knows things and knows how to make them come off. It was a good convention. He just pulled off his coat one day and handled the white folks have heard him talk right out in church about some white folks who refused to serve two of the delegates. It was, of course, in a little w-by-b four place. I can't to save my life understand that white woman. He is a funny animal and one who will not stand washing. I had the pleasure of meeting Miss Minnie Hunter, one of the teachers of Alton; and Mrs. Florence Cook, of Quincy. She had under her charge some girls from Quincy and she looked after them just like a mother after her own children. I could mention a number of others but time will not per mit me to do so. I had a fine stopping place and when the convention was over I got myself together and pulled out for this place. I went over to a Convention in Chicago. It was another Sunday School convention and they have there a progressive preacher He believes that dancing is good for the young people because it teaches them to be graceful. It strikes me that a ball room is not the place to go in search of grace and if you do you will get left. It is a sure road to down stairs or to destruction. Rev. Harris has a right to his opinion, but I fear that his opinion is not in the right place, and if he is not careful the devil may get him, because his words may mean the destruction of someone else. Rev. Harris is pastor of the Herman Baptist Church on the North side of Chicago, and he may stay there so far as I am concerned. Well, the National Baptist Convention question did not come up and I am not going to bring it up. I notice that the Reciprocal News Service is saying something about it, but what that something is I do not remember. I will have something to say to you in other letters. There are some strong men in this part of the world. I had the pleasure of meeting Bishop J. N. Ross on Sunday in Evanstown. The people are certainly making a fuss over the new bishop, and men and women of all races flocked to hear him preach the gospel. He is a preacher who knows his business. I think I shall have to bring this letter to a close for a little while. I think I shall have to bring this letter to a close for a little while. J. O. MIDNIGHT.

There are few examples of colored men playing organized league baseball. True, there have been plenty good enough to be in the majors, one of the most conspicuous being Pitcher Rube Foster, says the Cincinnati Enquirer. One of the greatest colored players who ever lived was Charley Grant of Cincinnati. He was in the old Interstate league about twenty years ago and covered second base. His fame as a player was so wonderful every big league scout went to look him over. E. H. Wood, who unpired in the Interstate league at the time, has this to say of Grant: "He was a little chap, weighing only 115 pounds. But he was as fast as lightning. He was the closest to being a second Bid McPhee I ever saw. I believe he was fully as great as Evers or Eddie Collins. "Grant played a very deep second base, and you never heard of a Texas leaguer falling safe in his neighborhood. He simply went out and got them. And he came in like a spinner on one of those slow hit balls. Grant was a quiet, gentlemanly chap, and the players liked him." Bud Fowler was another great Negro player. Like Grant, he came from Ohio. Race Leaders Conference at Knoxville. The east Tennessee race congress, which has been in session at the tahir nacle, North Gay street, Knoxville, Tenn., since the last week in June, adjourned Sunday, July 9. It is believed that the work of the Knoxville session of the congress will be farreaching in good results. Much credit is due the Rev. Dr. W. A. James of the Mount Zion Baptist church and his congregation, under whose auspices the congress was held, for the able manner in which they entertained the delegates and visitors. The schedule of speakers included such well known men as the Rev. Dr. Charles S. Morris of Norfolk, Va.; Rev. Richard Carroll of Columbia, S. C. and Dr. Leon G. Peangbba.

CHASE for their will be carried on in R SON ention, guaran'ee whether in, cities or --- BY MARGARET BLACK OUR OWN FOLKS Mrs. Estelle Cooper Young is a Baltimorean of prominent Christian parentage. Her father, Thomas James Cooper was favorably known for his musical ability, being among one of the first leaders of the Madison Street Presbyterian Church choir. Her mother was a well-known public spirited woman, noted for her charitable deeds. Mrs. Young received her education in the Baltimore City schools. When but a child she became a member of Sharp Street M. E. Church and has always been actively interested in the various departments of the Sunday School and church. At present she is serving as superintendent of the senior department of the Sunday School. Her deepest interest is centered along charitable lines, being the third vice president of the Epworth League, known as the Mercy and Help Department. Together with the help of the members of the church, this department entertains the members of the Aged Home on Druid Hill avenue annually with a Christmas breakfast. Then in August the inmates are given an outing in Druid Hill Park where they are served with an excellent dinner after which a song service is held. The members of this department visit the sick weekly and buy flowers for the pulpit. The flowers used on Sunday are sent to the sick and to the poor to cheer them along, and many a home is brightened by their presence. The Woman's Home Missionary Society, in which Mrs. Young is interested, is benefitted by her work in the supply branch of the society. During her administration as supply secretary she has gathered among the auxiliaries of the city churches, shoes, clothing and groceries enough to fill a large barrel, which was sent to a needy pastor of the M. E. Conference. Her interest is also large in the District Cabinet of the Epworth League and Sunday Schools of the Washington Conference. For the past fifteen years, Mrs. Young has been the successful leader of the Loving Service Workers Circle of King's Daughters and Sons of Sharp Street Church. The Circle was organized May 29, 1890, having just passed its twenty-sixth anniversary. The members of this Circle, under the leadership of Mrs. Young, serve annually all of the aged of the city that they are able to reach, regardless of denomination, with a dinner. Hacks and automobiles are used to convey the aged and infirm to the church. After service by the pastor, followed by theoration of the Holy Sacrament are taken down where they are served with prepared dinner. After folk enjoy an old-fashioned meeting. At Christina, the members of the Circle remember the aged of the church by sending out baskets filled with good things. They also pay rent, buy medicine, give groceries to those who are unable to provide for themselves. The Circle has undertaken this year to support a scholarship in Palmo College, Africa, at a cost of $15 a year. They have decided to name the girl for whom they will pay, in honor of the first president of the Circle, the late Miss Annie R. Johnson. Mrs. Young has been most fortunate in her work, good results having followed her undertakings in every way. She has won for herself and the work unstinted praise and a host of friends who are always willing to cooperate in every movement she introduces, and who admire her for the unselfish and assuming manner she possesses in leadership. DEAF MOTHERS There are some among you. I know, who are worried and almost played out from the care of a teething baby. All of us are not experts in the care of teething children and I am sure some of you may be glad of the following information prepared by the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor. CARE OF THE BABY TEETHING The baby usually cuts his first tooth when he is 6 to 5 months old, and by the end of the first year has, ordinarily, 6 teeth. He should have 12 teeth at 18 months of age; 16 when he is two years old, and before the end of the third year the entire set of 26 "milk" teeth. The process of teething in a healthy baby cannot be held responsible for the illness commonly attributed to it. The first half-dozen teeth rarely give the baby any pain, but as the double teeth appear there is occasionally at the same time a little disturbance, such as loss of appetite, and possibly evidences of slight indigestion, which may last for a few days. But if the disturbance is more serious than this some other reason for it should be sought. Teething takes place through the weaning period and during the second year, when mistakes in feeding are so often made, which upset the baby's digestion, even if they do not make him seriously ill. On this account it is often unjustly blamed for making the baby sick, when the real reason lies in the fact that he was overfed or improperly fed, or perhaps that the weather was very hot. It must be remembered that excessive heat aggravates any ill the baby may have, and is quite sufficient in itself to make the baby sick. It is necessary in summer, therefore, both on account of the heat and because of the disturbances connected with weaning and teething, to take great care of the baby in all respects, and especially to feed him with great caution. Directions for feeding the baby are given in a pamphlet called "Infant Care" which will be sent free to any one who asks for it, applying to the Chief of the Children's Bureau, U. S. Department of Labor, Washington, D. C. The baby may not gain in weight during the cutting of his various double teeth, but it is not a serious matter to have the weight remainstationary for a short time. The baby will quickly regain the lost ground when he is well again and eating his full rations. The mother should never allow anyone to persuade her to give the baby patent medicines, such as soothing syrups to relieve pain of teething. If they do relieve it they probably contain opium in some form, which is much worse for the baby than the suffering. It is a safe rule never to give medicine of any sort to a baby save that which is ordered by a doctor. Cure of the First Teeth From the time when the double teeth make their appearance throughout life the teeth should have daily care. For the baby a very soft brush is necessary and the utmost care taken not to injure in any way the delicate tissues of the mouth when brushing the tiny teeth. After the baby has several teeth, the mother should see to it that no particles of solid food are left between them after the baby has eaten. If the first set of teeth is well taken care of, the second set will be healthier and in addition the child will have been taught the good habit that will last all his life. There is considerable variation in the time that the teeth first appear, but if the baby has no teeth by the time he is one year old he should have medical attention to see if any disease is causing the unusual delay in the development of the teeth or whether it is due to improper diet. [Picture of a man wearing a hat and a suit]. MAJOR R. R. WEIGHT FROM SLAVE TO EDUCATOR. Notable Achievements of Major Rich- and B. Wright of Savannah, Ga. Major Richard R. Wright, president of the Georgia State industrial college at Savannah, deserves great credit for the splendid work which he has done in building up such a worthy institution. Major Wright was born a slave. At the close of the civil war he and his mother and brother walked 800 miles to Atlanta in order that the children might go to school. Young Wright distinguished himself at the age of ten, and one of his remarks was made the theme of a poem by John Greenleaf Whittier. Once when General O. O. Howard was in Atlanta making an address to the freedmen he asked, "What shall I tell the people up north about you people down here?" The newly emancipated slaves were not accustomed to quick thinking or of expressing their thoughts in public, and the crowd remained silent. Finally the voice of a small boy was heard, "Sir," he cried, "tell 'em we are rising!" This was the refrain of Whittrie's poem "Howard at Atlanta," and the boy that sent the message was Richard K. Wright, who has followed out his own precept by rising and helping others to do so. Major Wright has been prominent in the educational movements for the colored race in Georgia for many years. He has served as president of the State Teachers' association and the National Teachers' association. He was principal of the first high school in the state of Georgia for colored children for eleven years. He has served as the first and only president of the State College For Colored Boys and Girls for twenty-five years. He organized and conducted successfully state fairs for nearly ten years. He has served as president of the Negro Civic league of his city for a number of years and now serves as president of the Negro Protective association, which association is now raising funds to erect a detention home to protect and fit for service the homeless as well as juvenile court subjects. Major Wright has been a delegate at large from the state of Georgia to national Republican conventions and was appointed minister to Liberia by President McKinley, but declined the honor. He served as paymaster, with the rank of major, in the Spanish-American war. He was a member of the first college class at Atlanta university and has studied at Harvard, the University of Chicago, as well as in Europe. He has been in the thick of the fight for the uplifting of his race. The Georgia State Industrial college is a favorite place for holding great meetings to map out plans for the future betterment of our people as well as a rendezvous for reporting progress. Miss Naomi R. Gordon, of Washington, is now spending the summer at Wildwood Manor, N. J. Mrs. Margaret Riley. Misses Bessie Anderson. Flossie White and Elmer Riley are at Ocean City, Ma., for the summer. THE AFRO-AMERICAN GREAT WORK OF VIRGINIA WOMEN Brief Story of an Institution at Peaks, In Hanover County, In Which Delinquent Colored Girls Are Properly Trained—Capacity of Mrs. Harris Barrett For Effective Leadership. "We thank thee for the noble hearted citizens who have shown by establishing this industrial home that they have thought of others who are less fortunate than themselves. We thank thee for the noble hearted Christian women who have co-operated in this work and for the men who have caught a vision of the needs of humanity and have acted upon that vision. Show us that it is our duty to co-operate in this work for the unfortunate." The Rev. W. T. Johnston, pastor of the First Baptist church of Richmond, [Name] MRS. HARRIS BARRETT. Va., and a curator of Hampton institute, recently offered these words of prayer at the dedication of Federation cottage, the new dormitory and administration building at the Industrial Home School For Colored Girls, which is being rapidly developed at Peaks, in Hanover county, Va. The Virginia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs has been so active and so successful in raising funds for and creating interest in the Industrial Home School For Delinquent Colored Girls that the new building has fittingly been called Federation cottage. The new building, which is an up to date brick structure with all modern conveniences except the lighting, will enable Mrs. Harris Barrett, formerly of Hampton, Va., who is the superintendent, and her associates to give in a thorough way training in every phase of homekeeping. The building has cost about $10,000. The sitting room was furnished by the Council of Colored Women of Richmond. One of the rooms, assigned to the so called honor girls, was furnished by the Dorcas Club of Hampton, of which Mrs. Robert R. Moton was president. Through the kindness of Dr. Frissell John Sugden, who is the superintendent of construction at Hampton institute, drew the plans for the new building and superintended its construction; Leigh Richmond Miner, director of applied arts at Hampton, assisted in locating the building and gave instructions about laying of the grounds, and Dr. R. R. Clark, Hampton's veterinarian, has given instruction in the proper care of the home school's live stock. Mrs. Barrett, who was graduated from Hampton in 1854, is already well known throughout Virginia as the president of the Virginia State Federation of Colored Women's Clubs as well as the founder and head worker of the Locust Street Social Settlement in Hampton. Harry J. Griffith, who is the school's head farmer, finished the Hampton blacksmithing course in 1905. His wife, Ethel L. Gordon, was graduated from Hampton in 1907. Mrs. Griffith is Mrs. Barrett's assistant. Mr. and Mrs. Griffith have had unusual success in handling the girls who have been committed to their care. At the dedication of Federation cottage Mrs. W. S. McNell of Richmond, who is the acting president of the board of trustees, read letters of regret from Governor Stuart, ex-Governor Mann, Judge Cardwell of Hanover county and others. Dr. H. P. Frissell, principal of Hampton institute, said: "Love is the greatest thing in the world. None of us ever get beyond school. This is the place where these girls ought to be trained, and they will receive the best kind of training. I am glad that Hampton graduates can have a part in such work." Rev. Dr. William H. Stokes of Richmond said: "We are striking hands with the best people of both races in efforts for the uplift of our race. * * * No race can stand higher than its women, and so this work is of the greatest importance." Thomas J. Edwards, superintendent of the Boys' reformatory at Broadneck farm, Hanover, Va., who for five months gave his services to the Girls' Industrial Home school without pay, said of Mr. and Mrs. Griffith: "Their effort from the beginning has been to make the work pay."
