PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY VOL. XXIV. No. 51 PARALYSIS CLAIMS VICTIM HERE Tiny Daughter of Fond Parents Sucombs After Two Day's Illness HEALTH OFFICIALS BUSY Quarantine Home and Issue Plea to Keep the Homes Clean Happy and apparently in the best of health last Saturday, little Julia Edmonia Jones was stricken with infantile paralysis Sunday morning. A physician was called and he diagnosed the case as one similar to the dread malady that has carried away hundreds of babies in New York city. The little two-year old,ot lingered until Sunday night when she passed away. The health authorities compelled the parents of the little one, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jones, to bury her Monday morning. The parents were the only ones that went to Mt. Auburn Cemetery, except Rev. J. W. Norris who conducted the services at the grave. The Jones home, 1104 West Lexington street, is now quarantined. News of the death of the first victim claimed by the dread disease caused very grave concern among those who contemplated trips northward to watering places, or who have relations on vacation there. That their anxiety was not unfounded was verified by the statement of the State Board of Health with advises "all persons who contemplate taking their children or any part of Maryland or through the States of Pennsylvania, New Jersey or New York to change their plans, at least so far as the children under 16 years of age are concerned." Bring Children Home "It is also advised strongly that all children now stopping or traveling in that part of the country north of the Maryland-Pennsylvania line be brought back to Maryland as early as the necessary arrangement can be made. It will be necessary before starting to secure the certificate of the local health authority to the effect that the person named in the certificate is in good health and has not been exposed to poliomyelitis, or infant paralysis, and has not had the disease within the past six months." While the State Health Board has no apprehension of the introduction of the plague in the State of the city, it nevertheless feels that precautions for every reasonable safety ought to be taken. The Board may exclude all children coming from northern States in the danger zone, but it is hoped that such a quarantine may not have to be established. Dr. Jones, of the city health department told the Afro-American that he could not say how the Jones case developed. He could only urge that the homes and streets—the city—be cleaned up and kept clean. PLOT TO KILL FATHER Bowling Green, Ky., Aug. 6—Two sisters, aged 14 and 12, and their brother plotted to kill their father, Samuel Higgenbotham, because he had whipped them. While he was asleep, they crept to his couch and the eldest dealt him a blow on the head with the blunt end of an ax. Fortunately for him, the blow was not fatal. The brother escaped and the sisters are detained at the station house. They assert that the whippings received were so brutal that they had become desperate and were forced to take measures to avoid further punishment. GALILEAN FISHERMEN IN ANNUAL SESSION Norfolk, Va., August 10—With the re-election of the old officers and the selection of Cambridge, Md., as the place for holding the next session, the sixieth annual session of the Supreme Tarchenacle of Galilee Fishermen came to an end at Bank Street Baptist Church last Friday.

NO MONKEY BUSINESS AMONG COLORED TROOPS Camp Wilson, Fort Sam Houston, Texas.— Is it a question of guitars are a playing and banjos a ringing, asked a reporter of the Associated Press in approaching the camp of the Eighth Illinois Regiment, the only regiment of colored men among the National Guards. He found very young colored women are special in the moment in poring over law books, medical books and books on war problems, and that the old time colored men are conspicuous by their absence. Until the reporter came Colonel Dennison of the Eighth had paid very little attention to the doings of his men for hours. He knew that they were taking the hardships without complaints and did not beg to go home although only three men from each company were allowed off duty at nights. He could only inform the inquiring newspaperman that he supposed they spent their time like other soldiers, but this was very enlightened to very private Johnson, who was passing, was called in. Studies Spanish or War. "What do you do nights?" asked Colonel Dennison. "Study war regulations and Spanish sir." "What is your occupation?" "Lawyer, sir." The soldier was then dismissed. "He is a type of the men in my regiment," said the Colonel. "Now, I'll take you to a few of the tents." The trip was another revelation. There were the newly promoted sergeants, Harry Collins and James Harris, studying "The science of War"; Corporal Parker, a Chicago policeman with a thick book labeled "Municipal Code, City of Chicago" in front of him; Corporal Bryant Griffin and Joseph White engrossed over a large map of Mexico and figuring the best place for the United States to enter in case of war, and a score more interested in books on science and even art. Here was Dr. Tursel, Dr. Plummen and Dr. William Phillip of the medical corps diagnosing the best treatment for Captain Stuart Alexander, who had been stricken with pneumonia, and Private William B. Smith reading a recent issue of the Literary Digest. Writes for Journals In another tent was Dr. Spencer C Dickerson, a lieutenant in the medical corps, who had been made associate professor at the Rush Medical College and now, in his spare moments, wrote articles for medical journals; Lieutenant R. A. J. Shaw, of the engineering department of the City of Chicago who was directing some "rookies" in the proper method to dig a trench and Captain James S. Nelson, a lawyer, who completed several briefs for clients back in Chicago between calls That is Chicago's colored regiment. "I HAD TO PAX, SO WILL YOU" With the desire to give the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs publicity in their various activities and diversions while holding their sessions here this week, a representative of the Afro-American went out to Orleib Park to see the pageant depicting Negro Womanhood Monday afternoon. Just as he stepped to the gate with visions of writing a good story about the pageant he was met with the cry of "Halt!" He was told by Miss Ida Cummings, who was at the entrance that he would have to dig up two bits before he could enter. He explained that he came out as a representative of the press to write the affair up. "I had to pay, so will you, though a member of the press," was the firm rejoinder. Of course, reporters are entitled to free admission when affairs of public interest are being pulled off, and this reporter, though somewhat new on the job, as a member of this general tradition, he did not pay the two dimes and a "jit" but took a car for home. The veteran reporter scented some such trouble, so he wisely absented himself, thus saving a "showdown" on an attempt to chronicle a public event. Moral: If you want to be free from being accused of not chronicling public events, just pay an admission and work your brain and fingers off for the benefit of the promoters. EATS 7 WATERMELONS AT ONE SITTING El Cantro, Cal., Aug. 9—Financially embarrassed and ravenously hungry, John Anderson walked 125 miles from San Diego here in search of work. When he spied a watermelon patch at the end of his hike, he lost no time in eating seven watermelons immediately, and then living off melons for several days. He was picked up on the highway in great pain, and when taken to the hospital had to have an operation performed. Two quarts of melon seeds, which were causing the difficulty were removed from Anderson's stomach. He explained to the physician that he was too hungry to bother with eliminating the seeds.

MERE MAN SPEAKS Mere man had his brief little inning Tuesday, when M. M. Harris, the Revs. C. H. Stepteaul, C. G. Cummings, W. Edward Williams, Edward Smith, E. N. Thomas and S. A. Virgil were introduced. The men looked a little diffident as they gazed into the sea of feminine faces, but each managed to stammer out a word of greeting to the sisters. Mrs. W. G. Pearson, of North Carolina, urged that efforts be made to improve home life. The lynching evil was discussed and a resolution scoring nob violence telegraphed to President Wilson.

Washington was one of those foremost in the movement to secure funds for the purchasing of the home of the anti-slavery orator as a memorial to his efforts. A big debate, during which points of law and order were discussed, followed the introduction of a resolution to hire some one at $100 to compile a history of the activities of the association. Several speakers made the point that the constitution did not allow payment for services, but Miss Halie Q. Brown asserted that it only applied to officials and not agents. The resolution was lost, so no historian was engaged; $100. On Wednesday morning, Miss Estle A. Jarrot, secretary of girl's Wilmington, Del., Aug. 4—Because she refused to haul a party of colored women, among them being Mrs. Booker T.

When the driver came, he is alleged to have remarked, "I don't haul colored people," and to have driven off and left them to walk to the meeting. The women had traveled all day and had gone from morning until midday with nothing to eat. Mrs. Washington was naturally on the sick list. The incident was reported to the meeting there was much comment and many white people who were present denounced it as an outrage and a reflection not on the Negro race but on the intelligence of the white race. Threats were made o place the matter in the hands of Attorney General Wolcott. Mr. Walcott is out of town today. A prominent attorney who was interviewed said it was unfortunate that "a fool driver could not distinguish between coercion and common interest and common, worthless ones," but that they had no recourse under the laws of Delaware except by civil action.

Tt was ‘not Dr. Washington's own design that his last fatal Mines caught him in the clty of New York: As soon as he Knew that he was unable to pursue his course he wired for Dr. Kenney to come to his bedside, even though he was located in St. Luke's Hospital in New York City, with every. pos- sible professional care that could be estowed upon him. Nor did he hes- itate to say to his physicians and “nurses there if he could only get back to Tuskegee, Dr. Kenney and Mrs. Washington would relieve him of his sufferings, A distinguished physician from Delaware, while attending Dr. Wash- Ington's funeral repeated a statement ‘of some of the New York trustees to the effect that after all the exami- nations and studies through which Dr. Washington had been put at the st. Luke's Hospital and the Rockefeller Institute in New York, that nothing which had not already been found in Dr. Washington's condition was dis- covered and that ‘the only possible mistake which Dr Kenney had made In his treatment was his inability to make Dr Washington save himself more. “Missions,” a Baptist monthly mag- azine, published in Boston, in its Feb- wary issue has the following to say: “Before Dr. Washington was re- moved to his home he was a patlent at the Rockefeller Institute in New York, This is in charge of such able physicians as Dr. Flexner and others. ‘When Dr. Kenney stated to the phy- slolans at the Rockefeller Institute ‘the course of treatment he had pur- sued for several years with Dr. Wash- ington, he was told that during all those years he had made only one mistake, and upon asking what that ‘was received the reply: ‘you did not succeed in preventing Dr. ‘Washington from working.’”” Dr. Kenney remembers with a. great eal of pride ‘and more than the usu- al love, his dear mother to whom he sives all the eredit for the success he has beén/able to attain. As nearly as I can remember his words, he once sald to me “T owe very much to’ my mother for any success which 1 may have made.

BALTIMORE, AUG. 12, 1916 COURTESIES TO THE PRESS Among the many things which our people are lacking in, one of them is the proper courtesy due the press. When it is taken into consideration that these same colored people jump on the colored newspaper with all their might and main whenever something they do does not appear in the columns of the paper, and the managers and editors are given a regular going over, frequently with the remark: "Nigger papers are no good anyway." These same people bow and scrape and think they are highly honored if a reporter of a white paper should come around, and they will turn themselves inside out to give him all the information in their possession. They will do more; they will go to the white newspaper offices and carry whatever news they possess to see it come out the next day with Mary Jones did this and Jane Harris did that, and when they see it in the papers next day, they are tickled to death. But just let the Negro newspaper leave out an initial, to say nothing of the prefix, and you will hear echoes of it for the next year to come. A reporter of the Afro-American went out to Oriole Park this week to get a report of the pageant which was staged there. He was told that he would have to pay the entrance fee or he could not come in. This same reporter had to pay ten cents carfare, ooc at least two or three hours from his work, get up a decent report, publish it in the paper, pay the cost of time in typesetting and all the other incidentals in order to give the people a creditable account of the proceedings. Had he not gone, and if there was no report of the affair, it would have been said: "that is just like the Negro newspapers, never have anything in them." When will our people ever learn the common courtesies that are due members of their own race? This is not the first time this has happened nor do we suppose it will be the last, but we feel that we ought to let that class of people, of whom more is expected, know just how the Negro newspaper men feel about it. WASHINGTON AND JESUS The prayer of all devout Christians is—we will give ourselves to the uttermost to bring men to a broader and a better and a more perfect knowledge of God as his life was revealed in the Founder of our faith. But just as Christ was the interpreter of God to us. Booker T. Washington was the interpreter of Jesus Christ to the South. The above is the burden of an address of Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, before the closing session of the Tuskegee Summer School. "I hope," said Dr. Moton, "that we will give ourselves to the uttermost to bring men to a broader and better and more perfect knowledge of Jesus Christ as His life was revealed in the life of the founder of Tuskegee." Booker T. Washington was as truly called for labor among his people as Moses was called, is the belief of his successor, and to compare him with any distinguished American, living or dead, would not do justice to Dr. Washington. "No man has come from less than Dr. Washington and risen to do more," says Dr. Moton, and continues, "Mr. Lincoln, to be sure, did not have many advantages, but he had a great deal more than Mr. Washington had. Mr. Lincoln was not a slave and his parents were not slaves." The supreme commandment to love thy neighbor was carried out by few seen as by the state Dr. Washington. "He loved every man. It did not make any difference how poor he was how black he was, how homely he was how lowly he had fallen, how white he was, how prejudiced he was—Booker Washington loved him. We have all known that Booker T. Washington was more than an ordinary individual. Dr. Moton makes him a very extraordinary man, greatest of all Americans; greater even than Lincoln, nearer to Jesus, whose teachings he revealed, just as the Mas DID YOU KNOW THAT Ten years ago it was the pride of every housekeeper to scour her front steps white and sweep her sidewalk and the street immediately in front of her house. In addition to this, the nose was invoked to settle the dust when the afternoon sun had passed over. City house keepers have the same pride in their front steps today and these are the envy and the marvel or visitors who come to Ballmore for the first time. Housewives who come here from other towns and settle never get quite used to the public performance of scouring their steps. Yet our own women prefer to do this themselves, because they can do it better than any hired help. While we have not forgotten how to scrub our steps, we are rapidly forgetting to use broom and hose any longer. We are getting into the habit of leaving the streets to the city department of street cleaning and our pavements into the hands of the rain and wind to cleanse and sweep as they see best. Many folk say they would give anything for a breath of fresh air these hot summer nights, and down in the cellar rotting from disuse is the old garden hose, that could take all of the heat out of the oven-like cement pavement, and by this means lower the temperature several degrees. In the nozzle of that "ole hose" is concealed the equivalent of an electric fan, if we only knew The Mayor has started a crusade to rid the city of flies, mosquitos and rats, but nothing has ever been said about getting rid of the broom and hose. With our good streets they can be used more easily and effectively than before and we ought to use them. ONCE HE WAS "MIKE" Eight years ago he was "Mike," end the football team of the local high school and chief bass singer in the glee club, today he gets "Mike" very rarely, for the program of the Colonial theatre speaks of Mr. Clarence E. Muse, taking the part of Captain Clinton in the "Third Degree." Behind his stage make-up very few of his old friends recognized him, but off the stage he is the same stocky chap who once checked M. Street's long end runs, and thereby won the praise of his school fellows. The bass voice stood him in good stead in his interpretation of the character of the, rude rough, braggart, police Captain Clinton, and the appreciation of his mighty fine acting was indicated by the frequent bursts of applause. THE PASSING OF DENOMINATIONAL SCHOOLS For him who reads as he runs, a resolution passed by the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools at its meeting last week in Nashville. Tenn. is worth more than passing notice. The resolution is: "Deeply mindful of the contribution of the private institutions, we are highly grateful to the denominational school for providing us with strong teachers, preachers and laymen during the past fifty years; grateful as we are, we would discourage further multiplication of these schools, but would rather encourage the concentration of many of the smaller branch denominational schools into a few parent schools." In every city and town of any size in the Southland, can be found a school supported by one of the great denominations, the Methodist, Baptist or Presbyterian. Since the war, one of the large items of expense for white and colored churches has been that of education. The result is that the race owes its present leaders to denominational education in the South. W. E. B. DuBois, Kelly Miller, our own William Pickens, Major Moton, Bishop Alexander Walters, are men who owe their advanced and in some instances their secondary raining to these denominational and pseudo-denominational schools. Why then, should we not be grateful to these runners of the public school. Yet, times have changed. Denominations are losing interest in education in the South, and more than ever before, says the director of Negro education. Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, these schools are being left to shift for themselves. The result is as Howard University has reported for the last two years: "Students from private schools and academies in the South do not measure up to the standard of the public high schools." The final result will be that private or denominational schools situated in cities must give way to the public high schools and like Norfolk Mission College, close their doors, because they have no longer reason for existence. MISTAKEN IDENTITY Spick and span he stood on the rear platform of a York Road car, the target of all eyes. His bright Knaihi uniform seemed indicative of service in the 24th Infantry perhaps, until his leather leggins came into view and then it was certain he was a member of the Tenth Cavalry. Few passengers of the car could hide a knife when the supposed cavalryman was joined as he got off at 24th street. THE AFRO-AMERICAN Words in the Editor's Ear BEST PAPER IN THE WORLD I received your paper this week and I am always glad to get it as I think it is the greatest paper in the world. When you write please send me my bill and I will send you a check in the return mail. JAY GOULD. AT A LOSS WITHOUT AFRO AT A LOSS WEBBOOK I have been a reader of your paper for quite a number of years, and have become so much attached to it, that I feel at a loss when I am without it. It has been a part of my house to book it when I lived in Baltimore, and since moving away, I have been reading it still thru the subscription of my son, S. W Adams. Now that he is away, and his term is out, I wish to continue the paper just the same in his name. Please find enclosed one dollar for the next 12 months. SARAH ADAMS Tapahannock, Va. To the Editor: I feel that you are just as interested now as some the life in the success of the movement to perpetuate the work of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. Personally, I am most anxious that the enthusiasm in behalf of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund shall not be permitted to slacken or lapse. For that reason I am writing to ask if you cannot at an early date call your Memorial Fund Committee together for the purpose of putting more actively the movement in your city whereby to secure the amount to be raised among the colored people shall be made a success. We have made some considerable progress with the Fund among the made as to what the colored people have done or are planning to do toward the Fund. We hope to raise the full amount $250,000, from among the colored people, or an appreciable percentage of the amount. I am taking the liberty of sending you once more a copy of the Suggested Memorandum for Guidance of Local Committees in raising the Fund. If you will carefully go over the suggestions here outlined at your convenience and attempt to put them in full force and effect insofar as it can be done in your city, the favor will be gratefully appreciated. Will you not kindly know how the campaigns in your city and what prospects are for early returns from the campaign? Yours very truly, EMMETT J. SCOTT Secretary THE THIRD DEGREE AT THE COLONIAL It has been said that the "Third Degree" when first produced made such an impression upon the public that there was a general outcry against such Spanish inquisition methods being used in this country. We can well believe that a judging excellent manner in the character of Captain Clinton was portrayed by Charence E. Musz at the Colonial this week. The play was well presented by what is really a competent set of players. Mrs. Charles Anderson as Mrs. Howard Jerries, Jr., the leading character of the play, showed that she is capable of real good work, with the possible exception of speaking her lines too rapidly in the intensely emotional scenes. Sydney Kirkpatrick, as lawyer Brewster, bespeaks for this young actor a brilliant future. He is very painstaking and impresses one favorably. The other characters were well taken, that of Howard Jerries Jr., by Mr. Charles Olden, being possibly little ill. Altogether the Quality Assessment Company has worked together a very good set of players and they will compare favorably with other stock players older and more experienced. It would be a shame and a disgrace should poor patronage compel this company to give up its attempt to give the people of this city an opportunity to see colored actors in something else than black face and minstrelsy. Here is a splendid opening for colored people in the higher and better class of the theatricals, and sincerely the patronage of forthcoming. More especially when it is known that the company is putting up good, hard money fighting the prejudice of Baltimore in general and the Eutaw street merchants in particular, saying nothing of the Democratic administration. M.H.J. 1910 [To the Editor: I want to register my protest against the manner of many workmen who use the York Road and Pennsylvania car lines coming from work. Some of these men without thinking sit down beside people whose clothing is spotless, or in front where the wind blows the perspiration back to others. Certainly it is nothing to be ashamed of no matter how menial the work one performs, but there is such a thing as taking pride in the sweetness and cleanliness of dress and body. If our men find it impossible to bath and change their clothing before leaving work for home, then they ought to sit and stand in the rear of the car where they will not be quite so noticeable as they would be they in the front of the car. LEAVING OUT THE "MRS." DEKRA I once in the Baltimore American of August $8 that the account of the Monday sessions of the National Association of Colored Women tells an address by the widow of the late Booker T. Washington, and addresses by Mary F. Handy, Jennie Ross and others. It is courageously disrespectful to speak to women, without using the title "Mrs" as Mary Jennie, or widow, and this especially of the most prominent women of our If this is the best account of our meetings white papers can give, it is far better that they make no notice of them whatever. Rev. J. W. Norris. PLAYGROUNDS AGAIN Kindly insert in your paper notice of a "Donkey Party" to be given at the playground, Druid Hill Park, Grove 3, on Friday, August 15, from 2 to 5.

Everyone is cordially invited to attend, and then he can see for himself the work that being done on the playground. We save four large gardens looked after by the children, who gather and take some any crops they want. At playgrounds 112, 110, 106, a registered nurse comes regularly every week to see the children, and if there is a parent, who has a child suffering from any cause, any assistance possible is given to the mother. Thank you kindly for the recognition of my last letter, and I will say again that I believe this is the only way to reach our people. A. ADELADE GREEN Director of Playground.

GLEAVES—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, William Gleaves, who departed this life on eye age ago today, August 10. More and more each day I miss you Friends may think the wound is healed But they little know the sorrow That lies within my heart concealed. There is one who still will linger To the spot where you are laid Who will come and scatter flowers On the grave that Christ has made: Husband you don't know how I miss you Miss you more than words can tell Every hour and day that passes Brings me near with you to dwell. It was hard indeed to part from thee But God's strong arm supported me By his loving wife ELLEN D. GVEAVES .. More than one hundred tots of St. Elizabeth's Home on Courtland street were given an outing in Druld Hill Park last Wednesday. The sisters in charge appeared as pleased as the youngsters to get out of the city for a breath of fresh air. Mrs. Frank Hopkins of 518 Wilson street has returned from a ten days trip to Ocean City, Md., visiting her husband. While there she stopped at White's Cottage, where she received up-to-date accommodation. FOUR HUNDRED DELEGATES ATTEND NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF COLORED WOMEN Continued from page 1 work, gave an outline of the work that the National League on Urban Conditions is doing. Mrs. Butler R. Wilson, of Boston, made a plea for interest in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its effort to combat prejudicial conditions. Miss Eva C. Bowles, secretary of the colored branch. Y. W. C. A. New York, told of the work that agency is doing for women and girls in New York and other cities. Mrs. Carrie Clifford, of Washington, urged the formation of organizations to fight for woman suffrage, and Mrs. Jula Mauna Layton, brought greetings from the Washington women. Strong pleas for interest in the fight against the saloon were made by a number of speakers. Mrs. A. L. Moorer, of Orangeburg. S. C., opened the discussion and told of the evils and ravages of the liquor traffic. Papers on "The Unfortunate Woman" were read by Mrs. Ethelyn Collins of Dayton, O., and Mrs. S. W. Layton, of Philadelphia. Mrs. Layton, who has done considerable rescue work in her home city, told of the unfortunate woman's life, her likelihood of spreading disease and general misery. She did not fail, however, to score the men who made the existence of such women possible. She said that economic conditions, the use of liquor and being of weak mind are responsible for public and clandestine immorality. She urged the sterilization of the sub-normal, so that weak-minded and diseased children would not be ushered into the world. Kentucky, and Mrs. Norris R. Clark, of Virginia read papers on "Raising the Moral Status of the Race." Good housing, excellent sanitary conditions and education were among the things suggested for this improvement. ELECTION INTERESTING ELECTION INTERESTING More Man could have been given some power, about conducting an election if he and he would have to match the way the women do it. It is that it was a quiet affair compared with elections in the Daughters of the American Revolution, and one or two other bodies of white women, but it was interesting enough to those of the masculine sex sitting in the galleries. During the election only the delegates were allowed on the main floor others having to content themselves with a "look-on". The credentials committee reported that 339 persons were entitled to vote. Interest centered chiefly in the election of a president, Mrs. Washington being ineligible after having served four years. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs made one of her characteristically forceful speeches in nominating Mrs. Mary Talbert of Buffalo, N. X. for that position. On the first ballot Mrs. Talbert received 230 votes and Miss Hallie Q. Brown, who had been placed in nomination by Mrs. Thomas W. Fleming received 120 votes. Mrs. Talbert tacked three votes of the constitutional requirement of a two-thirds majority. On the second ballot Mrs. Talbert received 236 votes and her opponent 130. Miss Brown then withdrew and Mrs. Talbert was declared unanimously elected amid applause. Other officers were elected as follows: Miss Ida Cummings, Baltimore, vice president; Miss Georgia A. Nugent Kentucky, corresponding secretary; Miss Robert Dunbar, Providence, R. L. first recording secretary; Mrs. Charlotte Brown, South Carolina, second recording secretary; Miss Theresa Macon, Chicago, third recording secretary Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, Columbus, O., treasurer; Miss Hallie Q. Brown, chairman of the executive board; Mrs Victoria C. Haley, St. Louis, organizer; Mrs Frances Keyser, chairman of Ways and Means committee; Mrs. Helen Wilkinson, South Carolina parliamentarian; Miss Mary V. Paris, Louisville, Ky., statistician; Mrs. J.

If pro- posed such a thing would be looked upon with suspicion; ten to one the person proposing such a thing would fave been considered looney. Look at the women who attended the convention. Do you think out of all that crowd of women you could have picked out one who would or id wear a train or long skirt, col- jecting all the germs. of the streets, halls and churches No indeed, you could not have found one. They had gn sensible shoes, and suits or coats and dresses with short skirts—some of the dresses short enough to show their legs—sst— should I whisper the word? Nay, not a bit of it. J would have had to say “limbs” twenty years ago; but now the modern wom- ‘an and girl call things by their names and none of their modesty is lost by 2 either. The modern woman or girl is just aS sweet, just_as modest, just as wholesome and just as good. as the eld-fashioned woman. The world to- @ay is full of girls who are as good as Fold and fine as silk, ‘They are bigger hearted, broader minded and more dust. and generous than the old-fash- joned woman. Sometimes you hear a man remark that the women of today do not. know how to act. Now own up Mr. Man, ‘would you want the girl you have in- sited to accompany you to a dance io be dressed as the old-fashioned woman in the picture in your moth- ers bedroom is dressed? Of course you would not. You might say she Goes not dress sensible, but you know you don't mean it, You know she Jooks just right when she comes run- ning down the steps to greet you. She is ready for the morning or afternoon, tramp, to play tennis, golf, croquet or for boating, swimming, fishing and yaehting—a good healthy woman. ‘When you looked at the women who- practically owned the city this week were you not proud of them? ‘Of course you were. They were the ‘pusiness. women thru and thru and joked their part—short tailored suits white stockings, dangling earrings. thin net waists—you liked her and trusted her. You know you do Mr. ‘Man or she wouldn't have been— zhat's all. SAVING BROOM STRAWS ‘When you buy a new broom, pull ovt a handful of straws, sterelize in ‘volling water, dry out and put away.

SEQUT MOVEMENT chillis elena cart athe eclectic tiaa A fon portunity for the boy officers living ig all sections of the city’ to come to gether and go deeper into scout work. With such an organization the boys of ull Baltimore will become more as brothers. ‘the tendeney to fight when boys of different sections meet is less in evi- dence now than ever before. ‘Too, without such an organization each troop seems more content to.do me- diocre work. With such an officers’ club, every member of which is.a boy, the standard of work in each troop gradually vives. “The boys, them- selves see: their shorcomings thru coming in contact with boys of other troops. Just a short conversation be~ tiveen an “ap-town" poy and a “down town" boy many times works wonders. ‘The boy officers of all troops meet the fourth ‘Thursday of exch month, 5.30 p. m. being the time during’ the summer season. ‘The good pastor, Trey. J. W. Sanders and trustees of /Gethel A. ACB, Church, have volun- uurlly thrown open its doors to the entire eglored Scout movement in the city, hence all meetings of the Patrol Leaders’ Club are expected to be held at Bethel. | The auendance at the list club meeting was very fine indeed, both on the part of seout masters and the boy, oflicers, “The program was full and kept the boys working up to the vers’ time of closing. The program con- sisted mainly of tenderfoot requir- nents with a touch of other work. ‘Each Scoutmaster had something to [say by way of encouragement to the ‘boys assembled. —-reop No. 10 of Allen Chapel was highly honored by having the tempor- ary ‘secretary selected from one of ‘thelr number, Scout William Butler. Scout Butler is a real wide awake fel- Ing, full of nerve, with plenty of “stiekwbility."—* In ‘order for the Council to make a brief study of the ealiber of the boys from the different sections of. Lalli- more and in’ order that the boys might have an opportunity to study each other, regular club'oilleers may: ‘not be nominated until autumn. ‘Then ‘the boys having done the best all around elnb work as well as having kiven satisfactory attendance will be, giyen full consideration. The Couneit believes absolutely In nothing else! save the merrit system and all con-| sideration is given the capable boy to help him develope and do his best. On the other hand the Council stands 4s a unit against “favoritism” in any form, and will not tolerate. it, All boys then are looking towsrd the election of club officers’ nixht as one long to be remembered. A _ special course of lectures, demonstrations, exhibitions, games, socials, music, pictures and work has been planned by the president covering a period of one year. It Is hoped that upon the competi- tion of the course that the entire union of Scout troops shall have been benefited. | Baltimore boys would like to hear from boys living in the various counties of Maryland at any time.

Also in DAY SATURDAY, "THE IRON CLAW", episode 17, entitled "The Vanishing Faker".
