No. 49 BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, MAY 26th, 1917 PRICE 3 CENTS COMMENCEMENT AT KITTRELL COLLEGE Ekirrell, N. C., May 24—Thursday of last week was a red-letter day in the history of Kirkrell College. It was not only the thirteenth annual commencement, but the announcements were probably the most important in the history of the institution. More than a year ago, one of the largest buildings on the grounds was burned down. Efforts to rebuild were made and in connection with this the Messrs. Dukes, the well known tobacco manufacturers offered to give $12,500 for the building if a like amount could be raised by the trustees. The announcement was made that this amount would be in the hands of the trustees by the first of the present month, and that the amount promised by the Messrs. Dukes would then be claimed. This money has been raised in the two North Carolina, the Virginia and the Baltimore conferences of the A. M. B. Church, under which the college is conducted. An additional announcement was made that a magnificent library had been presented to the college by John Merrick of Durham, N. C., to be known as the "Murray Merrick Library." Ceremonies incident to the dedication of this library also took place. Prof. John B. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. B. Church, through Bishop J. Albert Johnson, president of the college, announced the gift of $2,500 by his wife, Mrs. William M. Hawkins, towards the erection of a new church. Bishop Johnson also announced the gift of the first $2,000 towards the additional $2,600 needed for the erection of the chapel by his wife, Mrs. Mimie L. Johnson. Dr. F. B. McCrazy, grand master of Masons of North Carolina, and a successful business man, delivered the annual address to the students. Dr. C. G. O'Kelly, for the past five years president of the institution, tendered his resignation. Prof. G. A. Edwards, a graduate of the A. M. College, and an A. B. of Cornell University, was elected in his stead. There were seventeen graduates: 11 normal four domestic science and two commercial. Bishop J. Albert Johnson of the Second Episcopal District of the A. M. B. Church, is the presiding officer and conducted the affairs in his usual business-like manner. Washington, May 24—On account of the preparations for the opening of the military training camp for colored officers, the Howard University closed its doors earlier this week, which is three weeks earlier than usual.

BALTIMORE NURSE MAKING GOOD From a communication received in this city recently, Miss Ruth C. Baskin, a graduate of Provident Hospital, and who is now practicing her profession in Chicago, is winning her way to the top. Dr. C. A. Simmons, of the Chicago Hospital, under whom Miss Baskin has worked, says: "In the choosing of nurses it is frequently difficult to get that nurse who is as interested in the case as the physician in attendance. Nurses may graduate from the finest institutions and yet fail. There must be a proper liking for it, a natural tendency for the work in Miss Baskin Baskin I find the combination of training and natural ability." This speaks volumes for the thorough training of our local hospital. DISCESS DEMORTALITY Dr. Dr. Carnett R. Waller, of Springfield, Mass., opened an inter- view discussion on "immunality" at the monthly meeting of the Minis- terial Alliance on Monday.

A number of the members were visibly affected by the announcement, and immediately to his seven years of service at the church Rev. Griffins will presach his farewell sermon this Sunday morning. Nowwithstanding the fact that Rev. Mr. Griffiths seems to have made up his mind to accept the call to the Holy Cross work, strong pressure will be brought to bear by prominent members of Mary's to induce him to reconsider.

May 25—Ell Persons, charged with assault and murder of Antoinette Rappell, a young white girl, three weeks ago, was brutally lynched here this week. The crime, it is alleged, was a brutal one, but the lynching was even more brutal. Below is given in detail some of the incidents happening at the time of the lynching. A woman's jury empaneled after the lynching came to the conclusion that Pearson's died from "cause or causes unknown to the jury." At the same time the lynching was done in open daylight without consentment of any kind. "Fifteen thousand of them—men, women, even little children, and in their midst, the black-clothed figure of Antoinette Rappell's mother—" "The mother wants the 'migger' burned and wants everyone to see," the man said. "She doesn't want any one to fire a gun," the spokesman added. "Then Pearsonus was dragged to a pile of wood and had laid against the post which justed on the fallen tree. He was chained to the log so he could not move and someone called for gasoline." The woman and me screamed. "Tell burn too fast; hell burn too fast; she cried over and over again and others took up the snout. "They fought and screamed and crowded to get a glimpse of him and the mob closed in and struggled round the fire as the flames faded high and the smoke rolled over their heads. His ears as he burned; another died to cut off a toe, but they stopped him. "They crowded in and crowded out so that all might see the burning body and they were still surging around it when the flash had been burned from the burns and the withered frame of ashes as once a human being lay crackling in fire. "Despite the smoke and the sickening smell of the burning flesh thousands still surged to get a glimpse. Men held other men on their shoulders. Women helped hold each other up. They burned him too quick" was the complaint on all sides. The universal sentiment seemed to be that too much gasoline had been used. The police cars were pushed in an endless sring by 9 o'clock. Those on foot struggled in and out of the cars. Mothers carrying their children staggered from exhaustion as the word screamed that the pusses bringing Perseus on an unsteady bridge. An old man on crouched behind and beamed the fate that might keep him from surviving on time. "Women with children in their arms stamped with several hundred men in the rush for souvenirs. Fifty of Persons' clothing were matched from his body and the huge rope with which he was thus secured was cut into shreds. "Teariness of a photographer her to snap views of the scene met with disaster. Members of the mob snipped his camera with a warning not to expose the efforts. A newspaper was seized into shreds. Several men into shreds. The mob strives to open up an unhollowed hole of the House a human body for screams who were unable to close around to witness the action. The woman fainted because of the injury. "This is not this is the turn time the man of the house is forced to break in by blood and screams to witness the action." The prefects will not to purchase a dental chair from the school of which Lord Henry T. Beatt is principal. BID FAREWELL TO DR. C.H. STEPTEAU Washington, May 24—Washington's best united with the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church in wanting to Dr. and Mrs. C. Harold Stephan a farewell reception on last Tuesday night at the church. Dr. Stephan, who had survived the Metropolitan Church for three successful years having been appointed by Bishop L. J. Coppin to succeed Dr. I. N. Ross, now bishop. It is but fair to the many who this article was written for neglect at the request of so usual a man, who was doing such splendid work, not only for the church of which he was pastor, but the city, in educational circles and in the Departments of Government felt his influence. He has won a place in the hearts of Washingtonians and the people in general that few, if any have made have made in so short a space as three years, and we are still wondering why he was removed, since the Quentin Conference provided that he be ingerved, asked that he be removed, the church was expecting nothing less, and the city was disappointed by his removal. To say the least, it is the opinion of the leaders of thought that we sustain a very DR. C. STEPTEAU. The reception given Dr. and Mrs. Steppae was the most brilliant affair of its kind ever given to any of the many splendid passions of the great man. He was a man of great virtue with each other to do this splendid man honor, but every demonstration in the city was represented. Appropriate music, splendid addresses and short speeches were indulged in. Bishop L. N. Ross presided. The Bishop took occasion to say that Dr. Steppae had successfully manned the ship had done his work well and the ship had been well built. He was also the captain up." Rec. Dr. John van Sethick, Tr. president of the Rose of Education for the Trustee, was then introduced the said "Rice" to be second the motion for Dr. Steppae to one of the Nishkens of the church. Performers I and II lost the loss of the reception to the Steppae and so on. The course of the meeting was continued with the reception of the course of the meeting and the other Philadelphia, May 24—The following officers were elected at the 86th annual and the 12th triennial session of the United Supreme Council of the Ancient Accepted Scottish Tate of Preemasonry for the Northern Jurisdiction: III.

Harry Weeks, Michael Steel, both of Wilmington, Del., and N. A. Jacker. GOOD HOPES AT CHURCH Members of the Grand United Order of Good Hope, completely filled the main auditorium of Metropolitan M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon, the occasion being the annual sermon to the order. Following the invocation by the grand chaplain, Luther Byrd, Mrs. Lille E. Bruton, the vice grand daughter read the scripture lesson. Rev. R. W. S. Thomas, pastor of the church delivered a forceful sermon following which William C. Price, grand master of the order, delivered a brief address. Dr. Stephan, in very well chosen words, responded to the addresses. Mrs. Stephan, the quaintly little wife, Stephan, the equally innocent the church and said that the events tonight fully repays me for all I have tried to do, to be surrounded as we are tonight by true, loyal friends, and so many of them, chanders my heart and makes light the burden I must bear. We are real happy tonight, and we made it possible for us to be so." Dr. J. P. Jordan, the Presiding Elder, announced the benediction. We then matched to the table ladened with many delicacies, and refreshed ourselves until the woe ends. Thus closed one of the most brilliant affairs in the history of Metropolitan A. M. B. Church, as well as classed the carrion of the most applauded pastors that ever served Metropolitan M. E. Church. Dr. Stephan will ever live in our hearts. ‘COMMENCEMENT AL TUSKEGEE veto {Phskegee Institute, Alnbama.—Mas “4 bas béen set aside us the day for the ommencement. exercises bere.

In Revelationo 14:-6-7 we read of Angel (in the Greek, angel signifying messenger) having "the everlasting gospel to carry to every nation, kin- Gred, tongue and people and crying with’ a loud voice saying. fear God and give glory to Him for the HOUR OF HIS JUDGMENT 18 COME. If you read carefully the next few vers- es (8 to 10) it is clearly understood that after this Judgment hour mes: sage two other important messages fare to go to the world. One crying [out the fail of Babylon and the other for the last message, a warning against the beast and his image. Therefore, the message of the hour of God's judgment must. be preiched while men are living; It must .be sounded aloud that men might turn from wor- ‘ship, contrary to the worship of Him who made the heavens and earth and the sea and_the fountains of waters. We have vways thought of the judgment, as a day when good and bad, small and great, woutd march up before the throne ot God and wait there for thelr sentence. But the text causés us to believe that the great judgment work or the ‘elennsing of the santuary takes place While the Gospel message Is. belng ‘carried to the ends of the earth. ‘The Apostle Peter, looking down the ages, speaks: of the time when the judgment should be in session Peter 4:-17, "For the time Js come that judgment must begin at the house of God (or the church, as much as to say among the Christian): and if it dogin at Us first what shall be the end of them that obey not the gospel of God?" ‘The Judgment 1s, then, to be- gin with the professed righteous ac- cording to this scripture and linking this with Revelations If:-18-19, we find that it-ls the ume when the dead should be judged. Now all ts very clear, for'these texts plainly show. that’ God first beging to Judge the righteous dead, men like “Abel, the first righteous ‘man to die, and then others whose: names were in-' scribed upon the Lamb's book of life come up in the judgment work of the world's righteous "men, a mes: sage goes to.'the last generation to and while-this goes on with the first fear'God and give glory. to.

This after ali is the great achievement. He has gotten closer to it. He sees more ‘of its possibliities. The dignity of the farm life has returned” ete. et— | Birmingham, Alabama,.Ledger. ven though this savors of sour grape philosophy, it is tha-very best thing for the districts where the bet- ter classes of workingmen. have lett, to quit all arguments and get down to work. - 2 nq would rather be aa American colored man, waving about my head the Red, White and Biue, than sit at the {cast of a king."—Roscoe Con- Kling Simmons, nephew of the itlus- trious Booker ‘T. Washington, before the Union League Club of New York. Mr, Simmons has confused the issue somewhat, but it he means that, he would rather wave a flag than cat, then he can only be speaking for him- elt, Most people of this day would rather eat with a king than wave flag. ‘When the wife of the avergse man elopes with another and $180 of the family savings, she usually leaves be- hind a frantic husband who sees red through visions of pistols and divorce courts. If in. addition the wife, when located should not show a thin dime, put only clothing of the brightest of Tnies,, freak Jewelry and the results of liquid refreshments, there ts not an’ ordinary man who could speak coherently. J. Walker, of Butte, ion tana, did none of these things. He took his Indian spouse by the. arm instead and told her to “cut out her foolishness and come home.” ‘The ingenuity of man in making money is crowded to its utmost these days of high prices, and while some folks turn erstwhile flowerbeds into vegetable plots, others turn in the di- Fection where more wit and less ener- sy are neoded. Down in Huntsville, Alabama, V. B, McLemore, white, was detained: by a.United States Commissioner on the charge of representing himself as on “exemption officer.” McLemore held up several farmers in the outlying Gistricts, and in return for $2 in eith- ‘or raoney or farm products, gave them ‘a ‘certificate, which. he sald would exémption-them.from conscription for ‘a year., When the victim aid not “gall”"sdon enough for this tall, Me- Lemore' told them that the Jail at the county-seat was full of people, who would not pay, and that a wagon was followitigclose benind with a barrel of handeuffs.

Juntor officers to the number of 1250 will bo trained at Fort"DesXoines. Of these 250, wilt be taken from the regular army and the National Guaid regiments, and the remaining 1000 wil! be talien from’ the several states of the Union ‘on tho basis of their edlored popula- tion. ‘The apportionment of the nunibér of candidates from the states qwill bo in charge of the: eominand- ers of-the vatious departments of the ‘United Stated ‘Army. -Major General Bell, commander: ot the Department “of the ;Bast, stationed at New York ‘City, will have charge of “Sxing the number of probable officers for Mary- Jand and other eastern states. ‘The above represents the atest happenings with reference to the O. BR. 7, C, that can be gleaned from the reports of the War Department to the Military Committee at Howard Unl- versity, ‘There is Just one thing more ‘not contained in the official reports of the War Department, President Stephen M. Newman, of Howard. University, was called into bofisultaifen “by..the Department Jast Sunday on matters pertcining to the camp, and remained there most 3° the day. In the course of the con- ference, he was asked by the officer in ebarge his honest opinion as to whether colored people had. the in- telligence’ and the grit to undergo training such as is given in the army preparation camps, and come out as capable officers. President Newman replied that he firmly believed colored people able to-complete the work in fa creditable manner. Bvery colored man knows that train- ed colored men are tho equals of white men with the same training. ‘Whether it is pleasant or not never- theless the fact stands out clearly that the War Department doubts the abiliy of the colored people to supply 1250 men with intelligence and cour- ‘age enough to become leaders of troops after threo month's training. ‘Apparently their line of reasoning runs like this: It ordinarily takes four years at West Point to educate ‘officers for the arms. With the best class of white men and three months training a fair second Heutenant ‘can ‘be made; Therefore with any class of colored men, the OMeafs Reserve ‘Training ‘Camp will be a failure. It fs clear that the War Department does not believe that the Fort Des- Mines Camp will be as successful ‘as the other eighteen camps. It is the ‘usual thing that segregated tnstitu- ‘tions do not thriveas well as those open to everybody. Nevertheless, the War Department is due the surprise ‘of Its life: as one enthusiastic and de- termined rookie put it: “Wo are going ‘to do this milltary training s0 well ‘that inatend.of our wanting to attend white camps?;whites will be~wanting ‘to come to ours.” TRADE SCUOOL, WHY NOT? | At the recent Hampton Commence- ment, one of the girl students with ‘the ai of a simple chemical outfit, tested quid and bail blueing. She showed how spots of fron rust were forme don clothes that had been im- properly rinsed and proceeded to ro- move spots of {ron rust by using ox- [alle acid. She showed clearly that an apron that had once been spoiled by fron rust could be greatly improved with a Iittle skill and work. ‘Another bright chap described the Hampton Institute fire prevention ex- fercises; and then charged a fire ¢x- ‘tingulsher with sulphuric acid, blear- ‘ponate of soda and water, He sald tu conclusion: “Tt pays every famly to have several fire extingulshers in con- venient places in the home. Each member should be tought how to charge anf how to use the portable fixe extinguisher, which is very effec- tive weapon in fighting fire." | Hexe are two of the many practical things that are tought to the etudens at Hampton and Tuskegee instivees. Every year moro than two hundred eaduaten go out “from. .these two schools equipped with the knowledge ‘and skill necessary to make a begin- ning in the trades. Such men do not ‘need to serve an apprenticeship but are ready at onco to enter into thelr ite work. The rapid growth of the number of skilled workers in, the fren in the South is due largely to ‘the steady stream of recruits that are graduated every year from Hampton, ‘Tuskegee and other schools, ready to nore | With the coming of so many people {to the North, education, especially in ‘the clties that have separate school ‘systems will have to undergo a radi- jcal change. The emphasis that hos so long been placed on preparing students ‘for college wil! need to be shifted so as to prepare boys and girs for the trades. The last census report shows 166,- 314 males engaged in building and hand teades, and 205,939 females who lear their living by cooking. On the other hand there Were only 17,427 ‘clergymen’ and 22,441 female school teachers, Spoaking ih terms of to- ‘tals, 67,243 of the 5,192,535 colored people engaged in“ gainful ocupations aro in the professions. This means that less than 2 per cent. of all the poopie at work are “doctors, lasyers, texchers, preachers, ete, Those Heures ought to be iMuminat- Ing to every thoughtful person, and especially so to the parents, who have ‘chilaren in tho schools. If only two per cent of the childree enter the pro- fessions, what of the other 98?

Some of these moverents call for subscriptions of varicus sums of money for this or that particular thing which is going to help or benefit the community in some way. ‘We are not asked to take part in these movements, possibly because of our race variety; but in order that we measure up to the standa:d of good citizenship, it is our duty to let those who have these matters in hand, know that we are @ part of: the com- munity and propose to stand and be counted whether we are asked to or not. It is only atter we have shown our interest in these things: and our | witiingness to help, no matter how ‘small that help may be, will tt pos- sibly dawn upon members of the other race that we, qught to be sought out ana asked to contribute our portion, though small to the good of the whole. ‘Two particular. things are now be- fore us, the Community Fund and tho Liberty Loan, We lave quite a few of our race who could contribute to either or both of these funds, but s0 tar ag we have learned-none “havo done so. ‘The Community Fund ts for the purpose of assisting the families of those who shoulder thg musket and go to the front, if such assistance ts needed, also to assist-the poor of our city during the heat of the summer and the cold of winter, ‘The other is a government loan, paying threo and a half per cent interest, ‘This is a bond issue and is backed by the United States Government. ‘These bonds can be gotten In denominations as low no $50, so there is no excuse for anyone who has a littl money laid by, for not purchasing: one of these bonds.- It is'a good investment, You draw the Interest every six months ana®hesides at any time stroutd you need the money the bonds can be sold, probably at a profit.

ATTITUDE OF THE AMERICAN NEGRO In Scholarly Address at Washington Prominent Educator Enlightens Country on Colored Americans' Position In Nation's Great Crisis—Do Not Need Watching, but Want Square Deal. Washington. — Speaking under the auspices of the National Association For the Advancement of Colored People at a meeting held in this city on the evening of Wednesday, May 16, on "The Attitude of the American Negro," Professor William Pickens, dean of Morgan college, Baltimore, in part said: There is no question as to the Negro's patriotism or loyalty. But the mistake is being made by a misinterpretation of the mind of the Negro which is buck of this patriotism. The last year or two of the great war have discovered an unprecedented thing—unprecedented except by the spirit of the Negro himself during the civil war—namely, that America's least privileged and most persecuted class proves to be in a critical time its most dependable citizenship. For several seasons now every white man in America has been watching every other white man, but nobody has felt the need of watching the American Negro. To be sure, a false alarm was recently started in the south about German plotting among Negroes, but those of us who know the south knew at once what that alarm meant. It signified not a fear of Negro disloyalty, but a real and genuine fear of the Negro's growing industrial and economic opportunities which the great war has brought him. This alarm, which is the most treacherous thrust that has been made at the Negro in recent years, failed. It failed against the solid fact of the Negro's loyalty, past and present. The south, which has fooled the world about the Negro in almost every other particular, which has made the north believe that he is a characteristic libertine, that he is an unprofitable laborer, that he is unreliable as a machine operator and that he is an undesirable in almost every other capacity—this historic traducer of our race, after being backed even by high official "confirmation," failed utterly to stir the blood of the nation with the scarecrow of Negro disloyalty. Such is the universal and unconsciously acquired confidence in the Negro as an American. But, singularly enough, the peoples who have been highly favored above the Negro are the classes who are now deemed worthy of suspicion—those who have been permitted to buy a house on any corner, who have been permitted to live in any part of our cities, who have been admitted to work in any business or industry, who have not been disfranchised; but who have been jubilantly naturalized as fresh recruits for the ghost or fetish, called "white civilization," the people who have not been Jimcrowed or hanged without trial or burned at the stake (behold, ye gods!)—these are the peoples whom the nation watches when the nation's security is threatened. But the Negro, whose ancestry, by the way, was American long before that of the great majority of our white people and whose record of loyal service has been uniform and unvarying, is the only class upon whom all of these abuses have been heaped, and yet by the reluctant confession of his worst enemies he is the class of all classes not needing to be watched. Although the Negro's dependability is the best attested fact in America today, he is the one man not enthusiastically welcomed in all our great preparations for war. We wish to get along without him if we possibly can. To be sure, we have left the door ajar so that the colored brother can be called, as usual, when sorely needed. Meanwhile of us are between the devil, and the deep blue sea. We must either send the Negro to the glory of the trenches in France or we must permit him the gain of becoming further intrenched in our home industries, and we feel that either trench will have a mighty elevating influence on the American Negro's status. What could be more effective than the Negro in Europe, freeing big souled France, glorifying America and establishing democracy in the world? On the other hand, what could be of more solid gain to the Negro race in the United States than to be permitted by the incident of war and the iron law of necessity to work in the great industries of America and prove that he can do satisfactorily the very things which his enemies have for fifty years shouted and maintained that he could never be relied upon to do? For the Negro it is a case of "heads I win, falls you losel!" What the Negro's real enemy fears is not the race's fondly catalogued vices, but its virtue. We repeat that, although there is no question as to the Negro's loyalty in the present crisis, those are in wide error who are taking his loyalty for blind impulse or unthinking docility, like the loyalty of the dog or the horse. The masses of the race are thinking as they never thought before, and they are loyal only for the same reason that any other group of men in the world is loyal to anything, because they think that their best group interests are bound up in the thing to which they are loyal. As to whether the Negro would be loyal if he were absolutely convinced to the contrary must be answered in hypothesis by the same answer which would be given for any other group of normal human beings. The Negro is certainly not loyal to disfranchisement, "jimcorwism" and lynch law, but he follows the star of America in spite of those civils and with the deliberate intention and fond hope of overthrowing them. In such a situation the Negro must of course continually face dilemmas. He has had to be a strike breaker to get a job, he has had to flee to a separate and inferior school system to escape ignorance, and he has had to dissect the body of Christ in order to enter the church and the kingdom of heaven. In the same spirit he would accept a separate military training camp that some of his college trained men might get commissions in the army and serve their country, more effectively than as mere "cannon fodder." It is not strange that in the last named dilemma the majority of his leaders and friends indorsed the camp idea, but it is significant that, while some of his leaders and friends conscientiously opposed it, all of his worst enemies consistently opposed it. Those who favored it do not favor discrimination, but they seized that horn of the dilemma which would lend a future advantage—to gain a height from which they could deal segregation a heavier blow. His enemies also saw this and opposed it unanimously. This explains the frequent appearance of a lack of union among American Negroes. It is plain to an insider. They are perfectly united in aim and ambition, and they differ only in method and policy. This difference is due to their peculiar situation. No other group of people in the round world is brought oftener face to face with a dilemma, where the choice is not between an evil and a good, but between two evils. A choice between evils is a more disintegrating question than any choice between an unmixed evil and a definite good. "Which is the lesser evil?" This puzzling dilemma is at the bottom of many of the apparent differences among Negro leaders, whose hearts and souls are perfectly united in ambition and aim and object. The only solution of this difficulty is conference, frequent and widely representative conference. THE REMEDY FOR CRIME. Fair Attitude of a Northern Publication Toward Our Race. Under the caption "Education and Crime Among Negroes" the American Review of Reviews in a recent issue gave this markedly fair and logical comment on the subject: "Certain mistaken deductions from statistics of crime and education in the south are discussed by Judge Gilbert T. Stephenson of Winston-Salem, N.C., in the South Atlantic Quarterly. "In the first place, it appears that the amount of crime for which the Negro race is responsible has been considerably exaggerated. For example, if one counts the inmates of the prisons of this country on any given day he finds that the Negro race, constituting only one-tenth of the total population, is penalized for nearly one-third-of the crime, but if he counts the number of commitments for crime during any given period he finds that the Negro race furnishes only about one-fifth instead of one-third of the convictions. This difference arises from the fact that the terms of imprisonment of Negroes are, as a rule, longer than those of white people. "All the available statistics and the unanimous opinion of men in a position to know the facts would seem to be proof that education—elementary or advanced, industrial or literary—diminishes crime among Negroes. The alarmingly high rate of Negro criminality is as much a condemnation of the community in which it exists as of the offending Negroes themselves. "Having discovered that the Negro school is at least one institution which successfully combats crime, the community cannot afford to withhold its active interest in and generous support of its Negro school. The more money spent in making such schools responsive to the special needs of the race the less will have to be spent on crime. "And if it comes to a question of cost it is cheaper in the long run to maintain and equip schools—Negro schools even—than police departments, courts, fails, penitentiaries and reformatories, for the school properly conducted makes the Negro a greater asset, while the court finds him a liability and nearly always leaves him a greater liability of the community." HAMPTON BOYS TO SERVE. Trio From School in Virginia Joins Fifteenth Infantry Band. Sergeant Major C. M. Hooper of the Fifteenth New York infantry, national guard, has sent these telegrams to Hampton institute: "Heywood B. Hill has recommended William McK. Hubbard, Leslie E. Booker and John H. Watkins for the Fifteenth infantry band. They are to receive $40 a month in addition to all expenses." "Am sending transportation from Hampton to New York, including sleeper, or W. McK. Hubbard, L. E. Booker and J. H. Watkins to leave by the Cape Charles boat to join the Fifteenth infantry band." The Hampton institute faculty have granted permission to these students to leave school and report for military service in New York. Heywood B. Hill was a Hampton senior.

Woman's Department Edited By Margaret Black How many of us are dreaming—some wise and useful dreams, others fool dreams. We have our imagination working overtime; we can do last wonderful things; we are so enthused and so in love with ourselves and with what we imagine we can do, that we have forgotten all about the past or the future. We are living only in the present. Oh, the fool ish, wild-hearted desperate youths of today. "The hill of life is steep to those who walk with weary tread, but to those who firmly march it's as level as their loving purposes." He hates the grind of the farm and the small, busy offices, the huge department stores, the dusty law office, all mean the same to him. He hates the long hours, the constant work. He wants to be at the top and be boss, without ever taking the trouble to climb. He does not think of the sacrifices of those who have reared and loved and shielded him all his life. He sits at his desk or works at his trade suitably with little love and less respect in his heart for the one who is really bearing the brunt of the burden. What does he care wether father skimped and dug and did without that they might have the advantage that was denied him. He has been housed, clothed, fed, schooled, and given his trade. He is a man, with a wife and children, "how dare the "old man" dictate to me." He is behind the times, I can run this business better without him, than with him. I can come to work at $30 or 9 just as I see fit. The baby was cross last night and I could not get any rest, and this morning my baby (who was up nearly all night). could not get up to get my breakfast, because she was not feeling well, so I had to get my own as a result, I was late for work." If he is taken to task he turns on father or the "old man" and gives him a piece of his mind: If this does not suit him, he will "go somewhere else and work. He can find plenty of places to work. Of course you can young fellow, who said you couldn't get work. But! yes But. have you stopped to think what work anywhere else means? Have you stopped to think that the man you go to work for does not care a rap, whether the baby was sick or your wife was not feeling good, or whether the girl left, or even whether you can afford a girl or not? Those things do not matter. If the office opens at 7:30 or 8:30 a.m. you must be on hand at that hour and some places demand that you be there at least 15 minutes before the hour to report for work and when the hour arrives, be ready to start to work. One hour at noon means one hour and no more, no less. If you do not report on time your pay envelope registers the fact at the "end of the week. And a slim envelope means less injuries and sometimes none at all. Not many days ago a young couple I know, were living very comfortable and happy. The husband had a job with a man who had taught him a trade. He was a good workingman, and attended to business, but one day it suddenly dawned on him that he could do better elsewhere; he became careless, came late to work, would take two or three hours for dinner, and found fault generally with the proprietor and the way he managed his business. Knowing the young man from childhood, he put up with his lack of interest and tried the best he knew how to make him see things differently, but the young man that "he knew it all" and so went his way. He went to pasures new to try his wings, and in a few short weeks he found that he was not as competent as he thought himself, and that literally speaking, he had "jumped from the frying pan into the fire." What is happening to our young people these days? What is it we are doing or not doing, we fathers and mothers, relatives and friends, and emigrants, that the children are so selish, so self-conceited? Is there nothing we can do, to show them the error of their ways? They tell us "time and experience are great teachers, and will purge the floor." We try to show them that all that glitters is not gold, that he has a knowledge of himself and bears his life in his own hands. We try to counsel him as to what is right and what is wrong, what is bad and what is good, that he cannot advise himself and go his own way without reaping the results. That he must watch no_one as closely as he watches himself, and to he quick to learn of others, and not to owe any man, but he obliging and just to all. What is the use of following a loved one to the grave and weeping and trying to make the world believe that we honored and respected them, when we know as well as the world that we have ben lacking in final duty, and respect in more ways than one, partly responsible for the laying of that gray head in the grave. It is too late then to weep and be sorry. Then again, do you stop to think of the child of your own you are pushing? You demand obedience and respect from it, when you, yourself are lacking. So man is fit to rule who has not learned to obey. The youth of to-day seem to be walking and working in dreamland. What can we do to bring them to the world of reality before it is too late? It is up to you young people. There are anyone from below what they wish to be, so long as you want to be good, useful and good. Earnest desire is the seredy old fellow that bears us safely to port. You may not think this is true, "but it is, and if you accept it, and set about getting the thing you so ardently desire, being patient and indus-tious, cheerful and respectful, you will get it or come so near that you will be satisfied. If not for your own peace of mind, you should keep yourself under control for the sake of your loved ones who follow and care for you. It takes years to build up a reputation, but one rash act can destroy in a few seconds, and then no matter how hard you work, or what you may do, that which you have lost can not be yours again. Just bear in mind that whether you continue to dream or stay awake it is SOMEBODY'S BUSINESS. RECEIPTS A sumer dish enough for four people. Spread some pieces of stale sponge cake with strawberry jam, and lay them in dainty glass dishes. Soak with a little fruit juice. Cover with a custard made of two eggs, a pint o milk, half cup of sugar, and flavored with vanilla extract. Allow this to remain in a cool place for one hour. Cover with whipped cream, and decorate with fresh fruits on top. A meringue made with the whites of 3 eggs and 3 tablespoonfuls of sugar may be used in the place of sugar if preferred, in which case use the yolks of the 3 eggs for the custard instead of two whole eggs. FRUIT TOAST DESSERT Is simple but delicious. Earlies, cherries or peaches may be used. The bread sliced should be cut about half inch thick for the toast and not browned too much. It should be well buttered and the slightly stewed fruit should be drained off, sugar added, and the juice recooked until it is syrup then this is poured over the toast. Plain cream may be served with this dessert, but if extra fancy touch is desired, the top may be heaped with whipped cream, just at serving time. Without the cream this makes a good dessert for little children, and zwelback may be used instead of toast, or plain crackers may be, slightly toasted and used. The dessert can be served hot or cold, but if cream is an accompaniment, then the whole should be very cold. TRY THIS The next time you bake a berry pie try inserting a few short sticks of raw macaroni in the top crust. This lets off the steam like little chimneys and keeps the boiling juice from bursting thru the edges. For slight burns, wet the damaged place quickly with vinegar, then powder with baking soda, or even flour. It will smart for a second but the pain will leave almost instantly and will leave no blister. MOCK CONFERENCE A SUCCESS Chattolane, Md., July 24—The 54th annual session of the Washington "Mock" Conference was held at the Greenspring Valley M. E. Church on Tuesday and Wednesday nights of last week. Bishop S. C. Love presided. It was one of the most successful conferences of its kind over which the good bishop has ever presided. The church was crowded each night. The features of the conference were several trials which evoked much laughter from the audience and the attempt to superannuate Rev. M. Corbin, which climaxed the whole. Over $60 was collected for the local church over $40 of which was clear of all expenses. The young people of St. Andrew's M. E. Church, Mt. Washington, under the leadership of Miss Ada Wright, gave a very fine song service Sunday night. The program was excellently rendered and enjoyed by all. Besides the local talent there were several numbers given by friends from Baltimore. Mrs. Annie Hammond, who has been ill for several weeks, is convalescing. Mr. M. S. Lawson, of Fincastle, Va., after spending a very pleasant week at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William Currington, 334 N. Mount street, lott for Boston, Mass, where he will visit his daughter, Miss Martha Lawson.

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. Compbell, the specialist, 1869 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md. He treated me three months and I am now completely cured. I am now hopes to suffer such awful skin disease, go to Dr. Compbell, who I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world.
