--- SPINGARN MEDAL IS AWARDED TO HARRY BURLEIGH Noted Composer Awarded the Coveted Medal for Highest Achievement During the Year. B. N. BARNETT PODSON. Washington, May 14 - The third Sysparm medal was awarded last night to Henry Travers Burdell of New York, the distinguished composer of songs, at a meeting in the First Congregational church, held under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People. Monsfield Stuyver of Boston, the national president of the association, presided. The presentation was made by Hon Wesley L. Jones, United States senator from Washington. The Sysparm medal is awarded annually to the man or woman of African descent and of American citizenship who shall have made the highest achievement during the preceding year in any field of elevated or beholdable human endeavor, the candidate being chosen by a committee of award, which includes Bishop John Hurst of Bristol, Hon William Howard Taft, John Hope, president of Mormon college, Anthony Dr. James H. Elliard, director of the Stater and James funds, and Oswald Garrett Villanueva of the New York Eraving Post. The committee's objective is not limited to any one field, whether that be in professional spiritual, physical, scientific, commercial, educational or any other. So the winning of the Spiragium medal has come to be the greatest distinction which can be conferred upon an American Negro. The medal is of gold of the value of $100 and is owned by Dr. Joe L. Spiragium, chairman of the board of directors of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People and former professor of comparative literature in Columbia university, who is as present in training for his major commission at Madison University, New York. Henry Thatcher Burleigh, the winner of the medal for BMH, is a composer whose songs have for two or three seasons past been sung by a list of prominent singers which would make any composer's month water from John McFordman to Kilty Cheatham. One song, "Deep River," has probably appeared on concert programs during the past season more times than the work of any other contemporaneous composer. And across the ocean Burleigh's "The Yoding Warrior," with words by the Negro poet James Weldon Johnson, translated into Italian and orchestrated by the great Zandonal, has become a sort of patriotic anthem of the present war. Mr. Burleigh's compositions include about 100 songs, a few festival anthems for church chorus and a volume of plantation melodies, which he compiled in an effort to save them from falling into oblivion. The small group of songs by which he is best known include "Deep River." "The Gray Wolf," to words by Arthur Symons; a superb setting of Walk Whitman's "Ethiopia Saluting the Colors." "The Soldier and the Lion." "The Fire Song of Laurence Hope" writes a cricket in the Boston Transcript of March 10. probably represent Mr. Burdell's best work. Here are beaming melodies, arrangements with in detail yet not overwritten, writing bits of delineation and much skill in the wedding of music to words. Recorded "The Soldier." A. Walter Krauner in Musical America wrote "Wars produce a mass of inconsequential Treasury and musical stuff. The present European conflict is no exception." "But I think that this Burdell meeting of Pope Brooke inspired lines will be among the important art productions of the great war when the result is made." These creative achievements have necessarily been stumbled from a life of coming musical toft, by which Mr. Burdell has earned his daily bread. Since 1817 he has been tasteless solos to St. George church one of Ner. York's old and antiquarian congregations, and for sixteen years he has being as the Temple Emmanuel as well. These achievements become doubly significant when one realizes how Mr. Burleigh has worked his way forward almost without aid, handknepped by color as well as poverty. It is related how Mr. Burleigh as a boy in Erie, Pa., contracted poemmocha from standing in the snow outside the drawing room window of Mrs. Elizabeth Russell where his family was in service, in order to beat Rafael Joeffey play, and was given a chance to open the door for the guests when later Teresa Carrero played at the Russell home in consequence. Working at Erie, Pa., as a stenographer/snail he was twenty-six, in 1882 he came to New York and out of 600 applicants was given a scholarship in the National Conservatory of Music where he studied for four years. By teaching singing during his last year there, together with assisting the secretary, the mother of the well known American composer, E. A. MacDowell, he was able to liquidate his indebtedness to the founder of the institution. During one summer Mr. Burdwell worked at a hotel in Saratoga in order to make enough to carry him through until the following Christmas. But when in 1894, the young musician, spanning upon the threshold of his career, secured the position of soldier at St. George's, in competition with thirty other applicants, his path became much easier. His talent for interpretation of his own folklore soon became widely known, and he was in demand to sing in concerts and in the musical programs of the leading mansions of fashionable New York and elsewhere. The achievements last year which won Mr. Burdwell the Spinyard medal are but the mature frieze of a long life of concentrated labor. This is the third year the metal has been awarded. The first was presented to Dr. E. L. Stace of Howard university for original researches in biology. Governor Whitman making the presentation in New York. Included the governor of Massachusetts presented the second metal in Boston to Lieutenant Colonel Charles Young of the Tenth cavalry.

May H.—Following the opening session of the annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which was devoted to the presentation of the Spingarn Medal to Harry T. Burroughs, the conference was continued at the assembly rooms of the Y. M. A. A. The topic for the conference, The Policy of the Negro in the present crisis, was opened by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor of the Crisis. Dr. DuBois continues what he termed the general ideas prevalent as to the Negro in the war, segregation and the migration from the South. He gave his ideas as to what he thought ought to be done in the present crisis. The questions were discussed by a number of the delegates from the various branch associations. Resolutions were adopted on the death of the late former Senator Joseph Benson Foraker, of Ohio. A set of resolutions which were signed by over a hundred prominent members of the race was presented and adopted. These resolutions will be sent to prominent members of the white race and to representatives of Congress. Prof. A. H. Grimke presided.

BALTIMORE SATURDAY. MAY 19th 1917 WAR SECRETARY APPROVES NEGRO OFFICERS CAMP Decision the Result of The Strenuous Efforts on Part of Leading Men of The Race OFFERS BIG OPPORTUNITY Regarded as Biggest Chance for the Colored Man Since His Emancipation From Slavery. Washington, May 14—On Saturday, May 14, the Secretary of War authorized the establishment of an Officers' Reserve Corps Training Camp for Colored Officers for the new Federal army. The decision, which came as the result of a united and persistent effort of students of Howard University and many distinguished men and women of both races, is regarded by qualified opinion as the greatest opportunity for colored men since the Civil War. The establishment of this camp marks a radical change in the policy of the American government. Pursue and peace the Negroes with few exceptions, have been extended from holding official positions in the army and navy. West Point and Annapolis have been practically closed to them. One colored man after another has sought to secure training offered to other classes of American citizens but no amount of democratic argument or political influence could convince the administration of the justice of such an appeal. The war however has brought a new situation a new crisis faces the country, and when consumption passed, the question immediately arose. how can the colored men best serve their country? Shall they stand on the abstract theory of equal rights, or shall they with common sense meet a principal situation for the advancement of the race and the welfare of the nation? Already fourteen camps have been established for the training of white officers. The War Department has officially declared that it would be imprisoned to admit colored men to any of these camps which would mean that the thousands of intelligent Negroes in the United States would be forced under the consumption will serve as prisoners with little possibility or opportunity to rise above non-commissioned officers. Loyal to the cause of the Negro, believing in the principle of equality but at the same time resulting that obstinacy is not dimness, when the government refused to open the camps to all of its citizens alike, a separate camp was sought as the next best thing for securing officers. Dr. Joel E. Spingarm, who has devoted his time, his money and influence to the welfare of the Negro, initiated the project, and as Dr. Spingarm himself was recently called to camp the movement was taken up by the students of Howard University. Located at the seat of the War Department, these students, supported by the President, daans and faculty, quickly organized committees, enlisted every Negro college in the country through the dispatching of telegrams and delegates, and within ten days over 1800 men of college grade signified their willingness to enter the camp. In addition the aid of Senator Chamberlain, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs. Representative Madden, of Illinois and scores of other members of Congress were secured; the colored Y. M. C. a. all over the country, the Young Women's Red Cross Unit of Howard University, and the Committee of 109 Citizens of the District of Columbia. headed by Dr. J. Milton Waldron. Headed by the central committee of Negro college men, organized by Howard University students, all these influences were brought to bear on the War Department and the establishment of a camp for the training of colored officers was authorized last Saturday. The Negro, ever ready and willing to serve his country, has been kept out of official positions too long. The time has come when we should occupy a place in our army and navy similar to that which he occupies in other spheres of American life. And it is believed that in effecting the training and equipping of one or two thousand officers, the Central Committee of Negro College then his thoughts about a movement that will not only add to the brilliant records of Burke Hill, San Juan and Cerralín, but will make the Negro really a fundamental part of the national life in the United States, a partner in the fight for a world democracy, establish Ne- Ensure leadership on a stronger and firmer basis, believe the association that the Negro is it for nothing else but a subordination, and pave the way for greater and higher things. Men attending the camp will be made second officers with a salary of $175 per year. BALTIMORE GIVES QEQFA BALTIMORE GIVES QUOTA Eighty-one men from Baltimore have times far signified their intention of joining the comp. Of this number thirty-eight are students at Morgan College. Archdeacon Russell Now A Bishop Hope, Ark. May 15—At the session of the diocesan convention of the state of Arkansas, held here last Thursday, the Venerable James S. Russell, Archdeacon of Southern Virginia, was elected Bishop-Suffragan of the diocese. He is to labor among the colored people of the province of the Southwest, embracing the states of Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and New Mexico. Two other colored priests were placed in nomination. Rev. Dr. George F. Bragg of Baltimore, and the Venerable D. Thomas Demby, Archdeacon of Tennessee, Archdeacon Russell was the successful one. The strongness of the election lies in the man that Archdeacon Russell has been the most conspicuous and energetic leader of the opposition, among colored church men, to the election of any kind of Negro bishop. However, his election was entirely by members of the white race who know of the Archdeacon's great work and of his standing as one of the oldest and most highly regarded of the colored clergy. Besides establishing quite a number of Episcopal churches in the "Black belt" of Virginia, where he was born he is the founder, and principal of St. Paul's School, Lawrenceville, Va. the largest educational institution for colored pupils, under the Episcopal Church. The leading colored men in the Episcopal church who have been behind the movement for colored bishops in the church are very much disappointed. However, this disappointment has nothing to do with the character and general dress of Anchacason Russell, but it was their earnest hope that the first man selected would have been one so thoroughly enthused over the idea of Negro bishops that his work would largely contribute to popularize the same, and lead to an increase in the number of such bishops. BIG STORE IS CLOSED Bainbridge, Ga.

The first annual outdoor athlete meet under the auspices of the F. M. C. A. at Carroll Park last Saturday afternoon was the largest and most successful that has ever been held in the city. The weather, while not the best for holding an outdoor event permitted the running of the meet without interruption, and Howard University, with her team of sixteen men, moved away with a goodly share of the medals and the silver club trophy. School 319 Wastewater street with 49 points was victorious in the school boys events and there were three men tied for the individual trophy offered by the Afro-American. The delay in getting the men started and the chill wind that arose across the park prevented both men and boys from running their best form, but the scores made stand a good comparison with other records made in similar occasions. The Wastewater street school boys were victorious in all three of the relay events which counted them 39 points besides pertaining places in a number of other events. In the 494 round special, Tom Jones, the runner emerged victorious while the Durham A. A. was the only team to enter in the mile relay. Howard University run away with the century dash as well as the 449 yard run and hold nine event, getting all three places in these events.

PRICE 3 CENTS Elks Give Banquet To Exalted Ruler Baltimore placed itself in nomination for the 1918 session of the Grand Lodge L. R. P. of Elkson Thursday night, and also placed in nomination for the position of Grand Exiled Ruler at that session George W. F. McMahon of the local bar. The occasion was a banquet in honor of the Grand Exiled Ruler, Armand W. Scott, of Washington, and members of his cabinet; and the hosts were the members of Monumental Lodge of Elks of this city. Not only did the local members place their city and their favorite in nomination, but they received thinner admixtures of support from the Grand Exiled Ruler as well as visitors from other cities. In addition to the members of Mr. Scott's cabin there were present a number of prominent visitors present from Washington and a large delegation from Morning Star Lodge of the Capitol City. Promptly at the Elk's hour, 21 o'clock, Mr. William Lewis, chairman of the committee of arrangements called the more than one hundred guests to order and the following menu was served: Cilivres Celerry Clam Boulton & is Maryland Salmon Cutlet with Ta-Ta Sauce Broiled Spring Chicken, & is Maryland Peas Potatoes Virginia Cured Ham Lettuce Tomato Salad Fancy Ice Cakes Elk's Punch Wines Liquors Samuel T.

F. Mo Mechner, grand esteemed leading knight and others. All of the visitors spoke in glowing terms of the local lodge and especially commended them for their fine home, which was characterized as the very best Elk's home in the country. Mr. Scott spoke of the wonderful growth of the order despite the many impediments that had been placed in the way by the white Elks and said that when the case is finally brought before the Supreme Court of the United States that a favorable opinion would be given the colored fraternity. Jacob C. Smith following his address in which he said that Washington would be for Baltimore in 1819 presented the Grand Exalted Ruler with a handsome gold past grand exalted ruler's pin on behalf of the members of Morning Star Lodge, of Washington. He said that the pin was brought here to be presented to show the real fraternal spirit that existed between the local lodge and the brethren in the Capitol City. It was in responding to the tribute paid him by Attorney McMechen that Mr. Scott said that he would use all his influence not only to secure for Baltimore the grand lodge session in 1818 but would work for the election of Mr. McMechen as the next exalted ruler. The banquet was arranged by a committee headed by Mr. William E. Lewis as chairman. Thomas H. Buckingham is exalted ruler of the local lodge. Jerome C. Robinson, master of social session, was in charge.

TROUBADOURS GIVE FINE PERFORMANCE A large and appreciative audience greeted the second appearance of the Juvenile Troubadours assisted by a number of ladies and gentlemen in musical comedy "Drum Major" at Albaugh's Theatre last Friday night. The play which is adopted from the Sergent Leroux and a musical genius, Jean. Lawson Smith, as the Sergent, made up in appearance and clever acting what he later in voice, while Oscar Z. Watts in the love-lovin musical genius made the most of his short appearances on the stage. As Babbette, the musical of Jean, Miss Genevieve the pilms sang her way into the heart of the audience. Quite the best character of the play was that of arriise, the sweetheart of the Sergent. This part could hardly have been given a better interpretation than was given it by Mrs. Grace Patterson. Her acting was smooth and unaffected and when it is taken into consideration that she had but two weeks to prepare for the part, her accurate interpretation of the gay, riven character free Parisienne was to be commended. The chorus, while show the results of srenuous training, was rather strained and weak in parts the youngsters seeming not to be sure themselves. Arter they once go to goo however, they once generally out strong in the end. came out. Between the acts, a number of patrons dances were interpreted by a galaxy of little girls, which brought forth rounds of applause. The Sprite Dance by little Misses Maryann Joyce, Lola Mallory, Eygen Ford, Irma Thomas, Beatrice Jones and Kelsey Scott was especially pleasing, the little ones, none of whom were much more than six years of age, going through the entire dance, establishing accurateness. The National Butterflies, Misses Dorothy Coleman, Bessie Owens, Mollory and Daisy Coleman, were also, very good. An original song by William Janie, "Where do we go when we are dead?" brought down the house. In the closing ensemble the whole company appeared on the stage in a beautiful tableau, amid waving American flage and singing "The Star Spangled Banner," while the entire audience arose and joined in singing the chorus. The entire evening's entertainment was enjoyable and reflected great credit upon Mr. L. Ellsworth Toomey who staged and directed the affair. Mrs. Haley Speaks On Negro Exodus from South The exodus of the Negro from the South is another new problem, and introduces a condition in the north, east and west, that is exceedingly difficult and intricate. How well the Negro will be treated depends largely upon how he adapts himself to the new conditions he will meet here and in other sections," declared Mrs.ictoria C. Haley, of St. Louis, to a large audience that gathered at Bethel A. M. E. Church last Sunday night to what the pastor, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, termed a two-fold service, as he himself would speak as well as Mrs. Haley. Mrs. Haley is the organizer of the National Association of Federated Clubs of Colored Women. "The task of the race is one of special and perpetual adjustment," she affirmed, "and while we are making criticism of our treatment in America it must be borne in mind that we are to safeguard the welfare of our own people by laboring directly among them, and correcting their evils and wrongs. For acceptability depends upon the amount of honesty, sobriety and industry we carry into a community." Mrs. Haley organized the female teachers of the city into a club last Monday evening in the parlor of Bethel Church and the following officers were elected: Miss Nannie B. Grooms, president; Miss Sarah Jackson, first vice president; Mrs. M. L. Freeland, second vice president; Miss Annie R. H. Miller, third vice president; Miss Margaret Williams, secretary and Mrs. Mary F. Handy, treasurer. Mrs. Haley left to attend the state convention at Wilmington, Del., which meets this week. She will return to this city and deliver a special address at Bethel Church next Monday night, May 21st. ENTERTAINED Miss Emma Lyles gave a six o'clock tea, on last Sunday evening at her home, the residence of Mrs. Martha Thompson, 2142 Division in honor of a few of her friends.

Henry, Misses' Elizabeth Wilson, Emma Lyles, Esther Guy, Carrie Skinner, Dr. W. T. Coleman, Mr. Mary Perry, Dr. W. Theo.

Roberts, Dr. Joseph W. Roberts, of Salisbury, Md, and Dr. Norwood, of Annapolis, Short addresses will also be delivered by members of the local fraternity.

The select City Ball given by the Arbittus School of Dancing, under the direction of Mr. Harrison Thomas on Thursday evening, May 10th, at the Old Pews Hall 614 W. Bliddie street proved a great success over four hundred persons with using the activity and pronouncing it perfectly. A show in Mr. Thomas's honor to relate the report that has been made to the report that on the evening, this show there was fighting in the bill, and weapons of all kinds were used. This is absolutely a false report. In these happenings occurred on Bliddie street near Pennsylvania avenue on the same evening. Jacksonville, Fla.—Just one week ago today, I was in Baltimore, and now you will see where I am today, and believe me I am glad to get down here where the sun is shining hot and I am contributing my part to it. I am in good health, thank you, and will soon celebrate another birthday. I have been a few places since I left there, and I am sure if you will follow me you will see that I have seen some interesting things, and I am going to see some more before I am through. I spent a whole day in the city of Washington, the guest of Dr. B. F. Watson, secretary of the Church Extension Society, and I was his guest. He is indeed an interesting character and to my mind, one of the greatest men in the African Methodist Church. For real work and worth, he will stand in the rank of such men as Bishop Payne, Bishop Arnett, Bishop Grant, Bishop Derrick the men who have done things. He is doing things now, and the whole church will sing his praises for the work he has done in the Church Extension Society of the A.M. E. Church. Sunday morning I had the pleasure of speaking for the Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D. D., of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. It was the pleasure to see him, and as the great writer had announced through his papers that I was going to be there, I met many of my old friends and to my surprise, among those who were present was that writer himself, R. W. Thompson. I did not see him until I was through speaking, and if I had seen him before, I fear I would have fainted. But I am not going through all of that this week. for I must tell you briefly that a little time was spent in Baltimore, the last night being spent at the home of D. H. Murphy's. His wife is one of the finest women I have met, and she takes pleasure in looking after the friends of her husband. A stop was made in Fredericksbury, then on to this place, or to Petersburg, Portsmouth, Norfolk, where I stopped in and looked at L. Wright and he is still one more busy man, and then on down this way, and it is on this I want to have a few things to say. I want to present to you this week one of the most remarkable men I have ever met, and I think when I am through with him you will also have a desire to meet him and I hope that you will some day. He is a genius, and he lives where you cannot go to see him unless he invites you, and then he will have to not only show you the way, but tote you to his home. He would impress you as being an African king, and his wife is just a queen, that's all. I have said all this without telling you his name, but you must have it now. I. L. Jones, of Totten Keys, Fla. Now you have the name, but what does that mean to you? Nothing of course, and it meant nothing to me when I first met him. He is just an ordinary looking man, standing about six feet, five inches in his stocking feet. This is not the ordinary size of men. I met him several years ago and he invited me to visit his home and the invitation was accepted but I did not have the time to get there until this time. After I had spoken in Miami Baptist Church, we loaded up, for his home. We set sail in his private boat about 4:30 O'clock, and he said that it was his aim to get down there before dark, or to pass Caesar's Rock. That meant nothing to me, but I took my place in his boat with one of the best men in Florida, and a man who is well fixed and you will get an idea when I tell you that he has put $40,000 in a hotel right in Miami, and it is hard to tell just how much real estate he owns in its own name. Most of the time was spent in eating grape fruits and that man grows them so sweet that you can eat them without sugar. We talked and he told me all about them keys, or islands, showing me those occupied by the weathy, the home of Andrew Carnegie and many other places, until sleep caught me, and I went to Dreamland. How long I slept I do not know, but I do know that when I was rudely disturbed, the old boat was reeling and rocking and the waves were jumping like they had fits, or had newly found religion. I at once thought of the German submarine, and began to pray. I looked out for a few minutes and rushed down and aroused Mr. Dorsey, telling him that Captain Jones had lost the way and we were about to perish. Brother Dorsey led in a short prayer, and then he came to the deck and looked around. It was dark and no play dark about that. They pulled in the sails, stopped the engine dropped anchor and there we remained until daylight, and then pulled on down to his home in Biscayne Bay. Mr. Jones, a long time ago, took advantage of these islands when they could be bought cheap and invested in them. Nothing but rock or some other hard substance, but he had learned how to use them, until today he is one of the largest shippers of grape fruits and limes in the country. He is a man of wealth. His fortune is in the islands he owns. He is just 25 miles from Miami. Now about his home, it is simply a palace. Two stories, improved, well furnished and there is to be found everything that heart can wish. You will be surprised to know that Andrew Carnegie has been his guest, right in his home, in his parlor, in his groves, in his garden, at his table, and his wife and daughter were, with him. Just the day I was there they had a beautiful letter from Mr. and Mrs. Carnegie and I have had the pleasure of seeing a few lines which this remarkable man of wealth. Carnegie, has written with his own hands. They think much of Mr. and Mrs. Jones. The two Jones boys are in Florida Baptist College, getting their education, and will take up the work of their father. They intend to make the world know that they live. Now you have met the man that is visited by many wealthy white people, who own some of the keys and who have their own boats and go to see this remarkable home and this remarkable couple. Soon I will be attending the General B. Y. P. U. and Sunday SchoolCongress. Hope you are well and that you are enjoying life. Let me have a line from you. THE WEEKLY SERMON "The Judgment." Continued. Elder G. P. Rodgers "Know, therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the prince shall be seven weeks, threecore and two weeks and the street shall be built again, and the walls, even the troubled times" Daniel 9:1-25. Reckoning according to Bible calculation one day equivalent to a year this would be just four hundred and eighty three years from the command of Artaxerxes (Ezra 7:11-19) to the Baptism of Christ when he was proclaimed the Messiah, Luke 3:21-23; See Encyclopedia Britannica—article Artaxerxes. Inasmuch as Christ was baptized A. D., 27 at the age of thirty it must have been about 456-457 when the command was given to restore and build Jerusalem. Again we read in Daniel 9:27, that he (Christ) shall confirm the covenant with many for one week (Seven days to the week or seven years) and in the midst of the week (the middle or seven is three and one-half) shall he cause the sacrifice and oblation to cease etc. Christ just preached the gospel three years and a half after His baptism and the Apostles carried it to the Jews the remaining three and a half years, then at the expiration of the first three and a half years the var. of the temple was rent in twain: Matt. 27:51 and the curtly sacrifices ceased to be of any significance. In Daniel 9:24 the angel said that seventy weeks (490 years) were cut off (determined) for the Jewish people, that is 490 years of the twenty-three hundred years were allotted to the Jews to repent of their sins and win themselves in favor of God. Four hundred and ninety years cut off of 2300 would leave 1810.Now the angel said that "Unto 2300 years shall the sanctuary be cleansed." 490 of these years bring us up to A. D. 34 and the balance of the time added to this brings us to 1844. Remembering this we will show next week what happened at this time. Advt. RACE PATRONAGE The effort of the Colored Walters' Union, Local 836, to stimulate the growth of race patronage of colored business and professions through its giving away of a racial patronage silver loving cup is a wonderful movement if it inspires in the people of Baltimore the necessity and benefit of supporting colored business enterprises. As aforesaid the silver loving cup will be given to the person whose total amount of evidence, including checks, bills and receipts, from January 1 to October 15, 1917, shows that he has made the best effort to spend his money with colored people wherever possible and practicable. Thus the winner of the cup will not necessarily be the one who has spent the greatest amount of money but rather the person who shows that he has patronized his own people most. The patronage of colored business can not be over emphasized because it is a great factor in solving the race problem, when we consider our great lack of capital and economic strength. A race without money must always be slaves to the capital of others because being without capital and unable to employ ourselves, we are forced to sell our wages which give but a bare living. We have not then really abolished slavery; we have retained it in its worst and widespread form when we allow other races to amass wealth and capital which could by the proper union, cooperation and racial patronage be kept in the hands of the colored people. These wishing to compete for the cup will submit their evidence to the Colored Waiters' Union, Local $36, between October 1st and 15th, 1917. Respectfully submitted COLORED WAITERS' UNION C. L. J. MUSIC OF SAVAGE TRIBES. Regimental Songs of Colored Soldiers Quickly Learned by Natives.. A recent number of the Gartenbaule (Berlin) contains an interesting account of the music improvised among savage tribes. It is these improvizations on the spur of the moment from which the truest idea of the native music can be obtained, since the quick ear of the Negro enables him to catch Europan melodies from chance contacts, and these rapidly pervade the country and pass from group to group, says the American Review of Reviews. We have long known that Negroes have a particular predilection for music. They sing all the time, everywhere, apropos of everything. It is indeed of very great interest to observe how the art of song aids a race which can neither read nor write to preserve the memory of certain events. Thus there was composed at Stanley Falls a few years ago a song called "O Lupembe," in honor of the major then resident. As surely and as rapidly as the most popular of our own refrains this song spread over the whole extent of the great empire and today the farthest echoes resound with its accents. It is becoming very difficult to recognize native nirs with certitude. When the colored soldiers return to their homes they carry the regimental tunes with them, and their fellow citizens immediately learn these and repeat them incessantly. There is scarcely any occasion when the white man can seize upon an authentic improvization except when one is made in his own honor while on the march. At a certain moment the Negro possessed of the most vigorous voice, whether it rings true or not, commences a recitatif, broken at intervals by refrains chanted in chorus by the entire caravan. The European who conducts the caravan is the hero of the song, and no eulogy is adjudged too magnificent for him. If he is a man of gentleness and peace he bears himself praised as a formidable warrior who has slain hundreds of thousands of men. If he is short and lean he is described as a colossal giant. If he has killed a few wild beasts he is acclaimed as a Gargantua. Samuel T. Hemsley Successor to the late ALEX.

I may say, rihl I guess you think some fake proposition. Nothing of the kind, my friend, wants to sell you anything of fake you in any way. It is nothing strange or nothing new that is being offered you. It is only pleasant and profitable exercise. It is just as pleasant as croquet or lawn tennis and not near so strenuous as baseball, football or rowing; and above all, there is no doubt with it. In fact it will improve your health and make you happier and stop you from talking about nervousness and nervous break-downs. I guess you think if this business is that profitable and so healthful, if it is not overcrowded, it ought to be, and not being overcrowded, then it must be a fake. But, my business, it is no fake, it is a business and one that if you will take my advice and try, you will be a winner all around. It is nothing more nor less than the greatest of all health-giving businesses — Gardening. Oh shaww! You exclaim, "I thought you were talking about something." Well I am, and you will find out that though you may not have been lucky to get your own plot, you will have your own back yard. Now, don't throw down the paper or turn the page in disgust, because if you read this through, in the end I am sure you will agree with me. I know of one woman who has a plot 501r00 feet and besides raising enough vegetables for her own use, sold young onions, lettuce, cabbage and tomatoes enough to clear $55 for her summer's work, and that does not mean the clear profit in food for the family as she had her own corn and beans and potatoes for the table. She canned tomatoes, beans and beets, dried corn, made chow-chow and pickles enough to use during the wintry half of the plot in potatoes and from two bushel got twenty bushel for the winter's use—can you beat that? She has good health and her little family is happy. Another woman has a little plot about 15 feet square. She planted six rows of potatoes, the early sort, and when she dug her potatoes, she put in cabbage plants, everywhere other seeds missed she put in cabbage or cauliflower plants—(she had raised her own plants). Ten cents worth of seeds will give hundreds of plants and when they develop the fourth leaf they are ready to transplant. They can be sold from 10 to 20 cents per dozen according to the size of the plant. The next package of lettuce seed planted in a space three feet square will give you lettuce for salad all summer, if you cut the leaves and do not pull up the plant, as it will be on producing. A five cent package of beets will furnish beets for both summer and winter use. Stick one seed at a time all around your bed or anywhere between plants that are too small to use trouble than sewing in rows as you need not transplant. Stick them five to six inches apart. For a garden space about 15 feet square, fifty cents worth of seed will give you vegetables enough for a small family all summer and help reduce the cost of living in a large family. I have a garden plot 50x160 feet I never spend over a dollar in seed. Is your back garden an unsightly, barren, hard expanse, growing a few weedy seeds? Are you making a few dollars a month and think you must have a lot of flowers and you can buy all you need? You do not need to do away with all your flowers, not by any means. Put them in a corner, or across the sides or ends of your garden. In these days when a decent looking head of lettuce costs to 10, five cents, why not your own? In a lettuce, your onions, beets, potatoes and such vegetables that are easily raised, why not get busy, dig up that ugly plot in your back-yard, manure it, take it, and lay it out in beds. Bury seeds in it, water it, tend it, and keep it moist along with the household expenses more than anything you can do. Start now, if you have not started. Write or visit a seed merchant. You will find dozens of h-5 advertisements in every paper and magazine. Ask him for a catalogue—just to read it over will inspire you to get busy. Select your seeds, and buy your plants. Make your gardening both a joy and an income. Cut down your meat bill, or cut it from your table and use vegetables as a substitute. If you must have meat, you can do once a day or better still, twice a week. It will not only reduce your expenses vastly but it will mean health to your whole family. Make up your mind to it and you can learn to love vegetables. They tell us that the Algerian soldiers, now fighting in France, are the strongest, toughest soldiers that are fighting, and they live on fruits and vegetables, using meat about once in two weeks. If you must have meats, get a setting of eggs from the government and raise some chicken. This chance for love of chicken. If you want to have she wants to set the government will give you a setting of eggs free of cost. Get back to earth, mothers, fathers, children, teachers and all. Take your vacation cultivating your own back- yard, or if you must have a vacation away from home, go on the farm and help the farmer and his wife in field and garden. If you are tired and sick, try the gardening or get on a farm and plant and dig and hoe. If you feel the need of some form of exercise, start a garden. Use your brain, use your hands. Make love to nature and see how she responds and you will grow nearer to God, nearer to each other—in your little back yard THINGS YOU MIGHT TR To prevent olive oil becoming rancid, add two lumps of sugar, size of a medium sized marble—to each quart as soon as opened. A wire egg whip will beat a cake in less time than a spoon, and make it lighter and of finer grain. Hot water, ammonia, and a little washing powder will clean an oil mop nicely, after water and soap hate failed. Old window shades, when soaked and boiled clean to take out the dressing, make excellent roller and kitchen towels. Washing dishes in a small wooden tub or bowl will spare them the chipping they so often get from a metal pan. BREAD FRITTERS The bread fritters are made from left over crusts or crumbs. Soak one cup of crumbs in cold water ten minutes; press out all the water; add one-half cupful of flower, one egg, quarter teaspoonful salt, tablespoonful of syrup, enough milk to make a soft dough; add two teaspoonful of baking powder and fry on a hot griddle. Enough for four people. ROAST LAME OR MUTTON To a 3 pound roast of any kind of lamb or mutton allow the following: One tablespoonful salt Halfthecentpuffal black pepper. Halfcup good strong vinegar. 2 teaspoonful brown sugar or one tablespoonful granulated sugar. A small teaspoonful of chopped parsley. Teaspoonful of chopped celery leaves. One teaspoonful flour. One pint of hot water. Roast in a covered pan or roaster. Cook one hour in a hot oven. Colored People's Hair A. M.

Longevity Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. IS THIS TRUE? For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. During those years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked. My son took me to Dr. Campbell specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, seventh months and I am now completely cured. In anyway happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr. Campbell, who I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world. MRS.
