Refuse To Meet In Memphis Philadelphia, June 15—Because of the recent brutal lynching of Bill Parsons, at Memphis, Tenn., the forthcoming annual meeting of the National Medical Association will not be held in that city, but in Philadelphia. It was so decided at a conference held here last Friday, and local physicians, dentists and pharmacists have already begun to make great preparations for the sessions, which will be held here on August 28, 29, 30. Many of the members of the Association did not want to go to Memphis after they read of the horrible lynching. This reluctance was very much heightened, when the heard that the lynchers threw the head of their victim into the meeting of the Infant City Medical Association, the members of which were planning to make the prospective stay of the visiting physicians a pleasant and profitable one. Some of the members at once communicated with Dr. George E. Cannon of Jersy City, advising that the Memphis session be held somewhere else. Dr. Cannon then canceled the Tennessee city's selection. Dr. Cannon is the chairman of the executive committee of the National Medical Association and his action has not only met the approval of his committee and the officers of the Association, but the great body of members. Dr. Cannon wrote a letter to the Mayer of Memphis advising him that the Association had planned to meet their through his invitation and that of the Business Men's Association and that the resounding of the acceptance was due to the action of the mob. He also said: We deeply regret this step as the cooled physicians of Memphis and country are among the ablest of the men in our association. We are hoping that the day will come when white and colored people will dwel together in peace and harmony, and that the tenacity of the law will be supreme in all cases and mob violence a thing of the past. "We had made great preparations for a grand convention in Memphis and it only means a disappointment to many of us who had looked forward with pleasure to meeting in your city." Philadelphia has entertained the National Medical Association before. The visitors will be the guests of the Academy of Medicine and Allied Sciences of Philadelphia and the Northern Medical Association, the latter being composed of members of the profession in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and the New England States. COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES AT MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE Atlanta, Ga., June 19—With the commencement sermon by Bishop John Hurst of Baltimore, an address before the literary societies by Dr. Recerdy C. Tansson of New York City and the Alumni address by Dr. C. A. Wingfield of Mason, Ga., the 31st annual commencement exercises of Morris Brown College closed one of its most successful years. A remarkable increase in enrollment was reported in the college and normal department and diplomas given by students college degrees from the theological school from the normal four from the commercial and twenty-four from the various industrial divisions. The honorary degree of doctor of divinity was conferred upon J. N. Campbell, dean of the theological department H. A. Grant, Jacksonville, Fla. S. L. Birt and Nathaniel Boyd, upon cappo A. Jones, Little Books, Arkansas, Bishop John Hursin, Patterson, Md. and upon Peterdy C. Hanson, the honorary degree of doctor of nuns was conferred. Morris Brown College begins its next year's work with the same splendid faculty of young men and women, all of whom from president down were re-elected. Dr. W. A. Pountain, president has done remarkable work since he has been here and has brought the school up to a commanding position in Negro school life. In this connection he has had the elite assistance of Bishop J. S. Flipper, Bishop Flipper who purchased the splendid library of the late Bishop H. M. Turner, gave the library, books and pictures to Morris Brown College. Fair Harav Informary, worth approximately twelve thousand dollars, and the only hospital in the city to which Negro physicians has had free access, a department of Morris Brown College, was completely destroyed by the recent conflagration in Atlanta. With characteristic energy, however, Dr. Fountain and Bishop Pipper have completed arrangements for the immediate rebuilding, so that the hospital will be ready for work at the beginning of the next school term. WOMAN RUNS ELEVATOR Koochester, N. Y., June 15.—Mrs. Loretta Bond, a colored woman, has been employed as elevator conductor in the department store of the Walter E. Bedell Company. This is the first instance of its kind in this city. Mrs. Bond wears a uniform of Khaldi and brass buttons. Washington, June 7.—Rev. Dr. W. Bishop Johnson, president of the New England Baptist Convention and until recently pastor of the Second Baptist Church, is at Freedmen's Hospital undergoing treatment for a serious affection of the threat. 'AFRO' SELLS $1700 WORTH OF BONDS 'AFRO' SELLS $1700 WORTH OF BONDS With the entire country in the throes of a vast effort to show their loyalty to Uncle Sam by their contributions to his two billion dollar Liberty Loan, the Afro-American, the little like in being asked, jumped into the fray, and appended to its loyal subscribers through a front page advertisement in last week's issue, to rally to the cause of justice and liberty by taking up as many bonds as their small earnings would permit. The result was surprising and almost beyond our highest expectations, for in the four days following the expiration of the paper to the expiration of the time for subscribing the bonds, the colored citizens of this city, through the colored citizens alone, more than one thousand three hundred dollars. And we are very sure that an equal amount has been pigged thru other channels as a direct Result of the efforts made in this direction. The amount of the subscriptions as well as the varied classes of citizenry who formed the personnel of the contributors, is conclusive proof of the fact that the Colored American is no "slacker," and just of all, unpatriotic. It shows that he is as willing to give of his mongre means as he is of his life's blood. The only secret the Afro-American has, is that the idea of taking this means of helping its country did not materialize sooner in the minds of the managers of the Liberty Loan issue in this city.

Russell of but Pine street, is spending hours each day assisting in the recruiting of colored men in the United States Army. When in 1861 the order went out to organize colored regiments, the late General Charles S. Russell. Then colored of the Eleventh United States Industry, was detailed to recruit a regiment at Indianapolis, Ind. Mrs. Russell, a bride of but a few months, accompanied him to the Houston capital and became actively engaged in recruiting the regiment. "I am quite certain that the regiment we raised in Indiana was the first regiment of colored men to go into active service," said Mrs. Russell. "General Russell commanded the regiment and it served through the war. I accompanied my husband and saw the regiment after each of the battles in which it fought, and my respect for colored soldiers became firmly fixed by the showing the regiment made. "We were with Grant at Petersburg, and no regiment ever fought more bravely or harder for the flag than did the one commanded by General Russell." Mrs. Russell will spend the summer in Connecticut, but before leaving for New England will recruit as many colored men for the army as possible. EXPECTS APPOINTMENT. Washington.

ROOKIES OFF FOR TRAINING CAMP ROOKIES OFF FOR TRAINING CAMP Washington, June 15—The Union Station was crowded to the doors this morning with friends and relatives of the men who are to be the future commanders of colored troops in the war. Two hundred and six men from the Department of the East, compiling the States of New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia gathered at the capital, in order to make the trip West on a special train of eight day coaches provided for them by the Pennsylvania Railroad. Delegations from New York, consisting of eightteen men; Baltimore 19 men; Philadelphia 25 men, found their way to Washington at an early hour and were joined by seventy-three men from the District of Columbia, including 15 students and eight teachers from Howard University. Following a mass meeting and reception at the Lincoln Temple church last night, where Captain Van Horn, delegated by the War Department, spoke of the serious work ahead of the men and urged them to stick to it and make good; a crowd, that entirely filled the big station, gathered before nine o'clock. Cheers and yells, laughter and tears brought the first touch of war closer to those who had relatives and acquaintances among the rookies. Most of the men, who are taking the three month's training, received notification from the War Department, Monday morning, and the others Monday.-Rearmoon. The notification stated that the applicant, and been designated by the Department of the East for training with the Four Officers Camp to be held at Fort Des Moines. The applicant told to report at the latter, and not sooner than June 16th. It was stated that he would pay his own fare but would be reimbursed in his first month's salary at the rate of $16 per man. HOUSTON'S GAME FIGHT. Of those who made up the Washington contingent, none received honorary congratulation than young Charles Houston, a graduate of Amherst college and new teacher in the Commercial Department of Howard University, Mr. Houston was one of the leaders of the movement for the Training Camp from the beginning, and was a member of the committee that camped at the War department until the separate camp was assured. On account of his age, 22 years, young Houston found himself among the ones passed over or more experienced, longing to receive a more widely morning with the others. Mr. Houston ended by Secretary of War Hankey, an Amherst man. At the Secretary's suggestion, he went to New York to see Secretary Whitman, also an Amherst graduate. The Governor went with his mission to the Army headquarters at Governor's Island. With the result that he was sent to the camp as a member of the New York contingent. BALTIMORE BEHIND Louis H. Russell of Baltimore and Howard Dong, both instructors, in Howard University waited too long for a taxis to take them to the train they missed it by two minutes. Things were in a hurry, until the railroad authorities allowed them to take the station express leaving at 12 o'clock where they will join the special train. Rookies at the camp will receive compensation of $100 per person. At the expiration of three months, they will be made officers of the colored troops raised in the first draft. A second colored camp will be established in August, but the location has not yet been determined. has not yet been determined. MARLANDERS ON THE JOB. LAURENCE HAWKINS, Bowle. WILLIAM J. GOUT, Bowle.

[Portrait of a man in formal attire, with a serious expression.] EISEE OF JOHN HURST Who has been elected a trustee of Howard University, succeeding Bishop Alexander Waiters, who died last February. Bishop Hurst is prominent in the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and has charge of the Florida work of the African Methodist Episcopal Church. Washington, June 14—White Southmen, alarmed at the heavy migration of the colored peoples North and West, have collated. it is said, the aid of the Southern Railway in an effort to prevent the same. The railway, which has its headquarters here, traverses a large section of that part of the South from which the colored people have been loading by hundreds in order to escape prescriptions and secure better living, working living and service conditions in the North and West. The Southern Railway proposes aiding the movement to stem the tide of emigration. it is said, by immediately discontinuing the assembling, holding and using extra passenger and baggage cars for labor movements and to otherwise discourage the exodus in a lawful way. Representatives of the traffic and development departments have received instructions to wage a campaign among colored ministers and other race leaders telling them that the white South is the Negro's "best friend" and that he should remain in the South where he is known said, understood. The instructions given out by the railway, follow in part: "We should endeavor in each community to have some man make it his special business to interest the Negro presidents and have them take strong ground against the people of their race being hired away by promise of higher wages in other sections, pointing out that any advantage the Negro might get by moving away would almost invariably be temporary and that in the long run it will be to his advantage to stay in the South where he be known and where his labor will always be in demand." No word is said about trying to secure better working and civil conditions for colored people should they remain in the South. WANTS ENTER HOSPITALS Assisting that colored people of this city and state were involuntarily giving televised to whites, Health Commissioner Blake scored the lack of hospital facilities for colored people this week. He also criticized that the variety of cases of epidemic pneumonia was among colored people. Better housing the establishment of small towns and increased hospital facilities are some of the means monitored by him for learning the dangers. It is probable that the state will be asked next winter to provide adequate hospital facilities for Negro consumptives. The state maintains a hospital for colored insane at crownville, and the doctors and nurses are all white. White female nurses were advertised for several weeks ago. A committee of the Maryland Tuberculosis Association, composed of Des. Henry Earion Jacobs, J. Hall Pleasants, C. Hampson Jones and H. Wirt Steele, will make the following recommendation to the legislature: "That a special hospital for Negro consumptives be created in connection with one of the existing institutions or as a separate unit, provided that for the period of the war the same be used exclusively for the care of invalided white soldiers and soldiers by arrangement with the War and Navy Department should emergency require." The recommendation, it will be noticed, makes no mention of the care of colored soldiers and sailors should the emergency require. PRICE THREE CENTS BIG CROWD HEARS BURLEIGH SING A crowd between twelve and fourteen hundred masked Bethel A. M. B. Church, David Hill avenue and Larvaile street, Monday night, when the Cosmopolitan Choral society present, Harry T. Burleigh, of New York, soloist in the Jewish Synagogue, Torbelle Benman and the St. George Episional Church, in recital. There were selections by the Aphion Glue Club, Mr. Melvin Charlton, of New York, on the organ, and the Choral Society, but the centre of attraction was Mr. Burleigh, who recently was awarded the Spingarn medal for excellence as a singer and composer. Accompanied by Mr. Charlton at the piano, Mr. Burleigh sang the Prologue of *Laglacchi*, an opera by Leonavalle, the "Trumpeter," by Arlie Dix, now being used extensively as a recruiting song; in England, Coleridge-Taylor's "Corn Song," and "Danny Deser" by Marrison. Into this last number, the singer put the full volume of his burleigh voice, rich and melodious despite his fifty-one years, until the house was taken by storm. The plaque did not cease until Mr. Burleigh appeared again and sang an enchore. Most of the audience called for his song "The Young Warrior" which is causing such a sensation throughout Italy, and were rather disappointed to find out that he did not bring the music with him. Before singing his last songs, Mr. Burleigh spoke for a few minutes about Folk songs: "Negro Folk Songs, or plantation melodies, as they are sometimes called, are not the soie, but the most beautiful expression of experience in some this side of the Atlantic. I know whether or not I should aguisege for singing them before this audience, but in my annual trips with the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, in the interest of Tuskegee Institute, audiences in Boston and Cleveland criticised me severely for singing these songs before white people. "of perhaps they did it because they connected it with ragtime, which is the old plantation melody carrified and debased. Every race is proud of its Folk-songs. The Negro is not proud because they are associated with the so-called 'coon' songs. Some say these melodies are not American, but they are indigenous to the soil. They are the experience in songs of the people, who were in America, when Bahona discovered the Pacific Ocean. If the Negro is not American, I do not know who is. These songs are our heritage, and ought to be preserved, studied and idealized. "I have given the songs the melodies that they had in former times. There is a rhyme about them that is unmistakable, but I hope you will still remember that they are spirituals." This time his own accompanist, Krystlefried songs is arranged for Giving Love Song, "Dig My Glove Love and Nappoon," as it is sung in the Bahama Islands. "Simmer Don't let de Harves Poss," frequently used as a revival song in Tennessee, and "Don't Feel No Ways Tired." The Cosmopolitan Choral Society, directed by Roy. Charles R. Gaworth, also sang "Father Abraham" and "Deep River" as arranged by Mr. Burleigh. The Society, however, did its best work in the tradition of Dott's "Listen to the Lombus" especially the chorus. The blending of the voices and the modulations in this piece drew an appalling appalachian Name of the other number Haydav of the Heavens are Telline" and Dott's "Music in the Mine" approached this Grass in another in precision and finish. The organisation is a new and certainly gave evidence of a promising career before it. DIES AT AGE OF 105 YEARS Laurel, Del., June 4.—"Aunt Esther Walker died last night at Bloomery Mills, seven miles west of Laurel. She was 105 years of age and her children say they have the data to prove her age. She was undoubtedly the oldest woman in lower Delaware. Samuel G. Ralph, mail carrier, who formerly had a store near where the woman lived, said that she was a old woman when he was a small boy. She had two grandchildren, William, and Tobias Gaines, farmers, living near Laurel, aged respectively $2 and 50 years. Her son James was in the Civil War and draws a pension. He lives eight miles from Laurel, was the youngest son of three children by "Aunt" Esther's first husband and has great grandchildren of his own.

R. Kerr, Former Health Commissioner, City of Chicago. ” NEW YORK, N. ¥.—Since the remark- able discovery of organic iron, Nuxated Iron or “Fer Nuxate"” as the French call it’ bas taken the country by storm, I¢ is conserva- tively estimated that over three million poopie annwally are taking Kt in this countey adone. Most astonishing resuits are reported from its use by both physicians and laymen. lo much so that doctors predict that we shall goon havo a new age of far more beautiful, rosy-checked women aad vigorous iron men. Dr. Ferdinand King,.a New York Physi- cfan and Medieal Author, when interviewed on this subject, said: "There can be no vigorous iron men without iroo. Pallor means anaemia. Anaemia means iron do- ficiency. ‘The skin of anaemic men and ‘women is palo; tho fies flabby. Tho muscles Jack tone; the brain fags and tho memory fails and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron’ gocs from the blood of women the ‘roves go from their cheeks. “Jn the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda ‘crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapioca, sago, farina, degerminated cornmeal, no longer is fron to be found. Refining: processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly methods of home cookery, by throwing down the waste pipe the water in which our vegetables are cooked. are responsible for another gravo iron Joss. “Therefore, if you wish to prescrve your youthful vim’ and vigor to w ripe wld age, You must supply the iron deficiency in your food by using some form of orgunic iron, just as you would use salt when yor -fuod has nut enough salt.” “Former Health Commissioner, Wm. 2. Kerr, of the City of Chicago, says: “I have taken Nuxated Iron myself and experienced its health-giving, strength-building effect, and in the interest of public welfare, L feel iy my duty to make known the results of its use. Iam well past three score years and want to say tliat I belleve my own great physical activity is largely due today to my personal use of Nuxated Tron. From my own experience with Nuxated Iron, J feel it is such a valuable remedy that it ought to be used in every hospital. and prescribed by every physician in this country.” Dr. B. Sauer, a Boston physician who has atudied both in this country and in great European medical institutions, said: “As 5 have said a hundred Limes over, organie iron ig the greatest of all strength Duilders.” “Not long. ayo a man came to me who was nearly half a century old and asked me to. give him a preliminary examination for life Snearance. 1 was astonished to find him with the blood pressure of a boy of twenty and as, fol of vigor, vim. and vitality as a youny man; in fuct, a young man he really was, notwitlistanding bis age. ‘The secret, he said. was taking iron—Nusated Tron had flied bim with renewed lifed®.At 30 he was fn bad health; at 46 he was careworn and nearly all ln.

You don't get the strength out of,{t and, as a consequence, you become weal, ‘pale and sickly looking. just like a plant trying to grow in a soil deficient in iron. If, you are not strong or well, you owe it to yourself to make the following test: See how long you can work or how far you can walk without becoming tired. Next, take two five-grain tablets of ordinary nux- ated iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. ‘Then test. your strength again and see how much you have gained. 1 have seen dozens of nervous, run-down people who were ailing all the while doublo their strength and endurance and entirely rid themselves of all symptoms of dyspepsia. liver and other troubles in from ten to fourteen days’ time simply by taking iron in the proper form. And this, after they had in some eases been dovtoring for months without obtaining ény benefit, Dr. Schuyler C. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital. New York City, sili “I have never before given out any medical information or advice for publica- tion, as I ordinarily do not believe in it, Trutin the case of Nuxated iron I feel T would be remiss in my duty not to mention it, T have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satis- factory results.

JUNE 16, 1917 eS ‘Unusually edifying to see one of the deading ministers directing effectively .a choral society. The Harford Courant is of the eopinion that President Wilson's in- ability to see the need of a real De- smeeracy in America,’ especially with areterence to the application of his -fdeals to the race problem, indicates ‘that the President is “blind in one eye” %t does now appear why his wplasees-can be of little benefit. The system of allowing visitors other than relatives to see the Joliet ‘ailinois prisoners is likely to be dis- ~ vontinued because several white wo- vmen have persisted in calling on col- vared men. Perhaps here lies the rea- ewan for thelr imprisonment. ; “The Chicago Day Book (white) in «commenting .on the recent Jabor stroubles in East St. Louis, Ilinots, urges the white unions to organize the .eotorea workman, It adds, that “the Negro must live as well as any other person, and if he cannot work in the ganion he will work outside the union.” Dr. Sebieffelein, of New York says that the migration of workmen from ~the south is harmful, because the “South cannot get along without them. “sis 4s only true, he continues, be- luse conditions in the South do not aseern to appeal to the foreigner, who “yoters 10 settle in the North and sweet.” The migration seems to prove that colored Americans ‘are getting to Saave as much sense as foreigners. A correspondent of Jacksonville, ‘Plorida, now in the North. seeking a caew home writes to the Afro-Ameri- cean an incident he witnessed before Seaving: “On Tuesday, May 25th, at a late Sour of nighit, a neighbor, Walter Robinson, 35 years of age, was chased from his home for some trival offence. Jn the effort to escape he was forced to run into a nearby branch. So- vealled police oflcers first made him ‘get down and say his prayers, beat ‘him over the head until he was in- sensible, severed his head from his ‘ody, and then themselves carried his ‘ady to an undertaker. Do you sup- xpoee there will be any arrest” Tmmediutely our correspandent and -six othors left Florida and are now at «mork at Sparrows Point. PRAISE FOR C. C.5. Mr. Harry T.

Germans nave the opinion that the United States, Liberia's protector forced her fmto the struggle om the’ side of the Allies. The New York Evening Post gublishes the following Washington dispatch: Germans were more numerous than smny other nationality in Liberia before the war, and controlled the greater part of that country’s, forelen trade onsequently, upon the outbreak of -hostilities, the British and French, “aaving satisfied themselves that the «Germans were actively aiding the Ber- lin Government in the war and had ~@tablished wireless stations on the coast through which they were com- municating with German submarines and raiders on the trace routes on the ‘Routh Atlantic, sought in vain to in- ‘duce the Liberlan Government to get rzid of these Germans, and then, as a “seinpulsory measure, withdrew all their merchant ships from:®he “Li- Nberian trade. As there were practi- ‘gaily, no other available ships. Li- tarian commerce. was immediately «checked, and in a short time the coun- stry was'in a deplorable financial. con- vaition,. halfstarved and unable to pay “She accrued interest. on sts’ debt. "Ye thus seems Titetally true that the @ngland ‘and France forced Liberis Sato the swar.- Had ~Liberla’s credit pes good, ehe might tiaye weathered the pressure for some little while. ‘As it ts, she Had" to declare war or face ruin. ® When the Atlanta fire was at its height, angfor a day or two imme- ‘diately after, racial antipathies were forgotten, and all the citizens, white and colored, worked ogether shoulder to shoulder to save what effects that could be saved, and to render aid to those, who needed It most, For once in Atlanta anyhow, folks helped first and thought of color later or not at all. However it only lasted a little while. With all immediate danger ‘and distress over, the city of <At- tanta, which distributes its supplies through a committee at the Audiort- ‘um Armory, closed both front en-- trances to the colored people in need Jot aid, and opened up a door in the side alley which stands marked “En- trance for colored people.” | Too bad Col. Charles BE. Young is Jnot to be In charxe of the Reserve ‘OMecors Training Camp at Des Moines. ‘Colone! Charles C. Bultou, of the In- fantry arm, recently on duty at the ‘War College at Washington, has been ordered to report to the Central De- partment for assignment to duty at the camp. It is presumed that he will have charge, “The officers re coaftscating much whiskey, but there Is much more that they are not confiscating,” says the Richmond Planet. Just what kind of ‘proposition the officers are up against can he seen trom the following: Relow the State line two men were ‘tnken from a freine car suspected af pan-handling liquor. One of the men wore an ingenious coat fitted with efphteen pockets for individual half-pint flusks, No whiskey was found on, the outside of the men, al- tho they were plainly under the in- fluence of w “stronger than water beverage." a 2 NEXT? ' The opening of the camp for the alain of colored officers at Fort Des Moines Towa, appears to be the frst step in utilizing colored rhen for ‘the war. The registration of all citi- ‘zens of whatever race for conscription ‘is an indigation that a proportionate ‘number of men from 21 to 31 will comprise the Army sent to France. ‘During the past week, a third step growing out of the former two, was inaugurated by the Medical Society, (white) of the District of Columbia. | At a meeting held at the Central High School under the auspices of this society, to which colored members are not eligible, colored physictuns were invited. Speakers included Vice President Marshall, Representative Kahn, of Gulifornia, author of th dratt bill, and Colonel T. J. Godwin, of the English Royal Medical Corps. Ap- plication cards for commissions In the Medical-Reserve Corps of the United States were handed out, and both white and colored urged to sign them and return them to the War Depart- ment. Those accepted will be com- missioned first Neutenants in the ser- vice with a salary of $2000 per year. An unofficial word from the War De- partment states that two hundred col- ored physicians will be needed to ac- company the colored troops. ‘Until this year there have been no colored surgeons commissioned in the United States Army. The reason therefore has been purely social. Some Statistics of the British physicians ac- tivity in the war as given by Colonel Godwn at-the meeting above referred to are enlightening as to the present anxiety’ to ‘push. the social bar aside and accept colored doctors. According to the Colonel, 60,000 medical officers have been lost by Great Britian since the war began. Twelve per cent of those~ who left England have been killed, There is now in England only one doctor for every 6,000 of population. Both Eng- jand and France are seriously embar- rassed in thelr care of the sick and wounded, and would be in an even more critical situation were it not for the surgical units that the Ameri- can Red Cross has been sending the Allies since the beginning of the war. ‘The Allies are looking to America te furnish her quota of medical men as well as soldiers for cannon fodder So it goes. The artillery corps and the aeroplane corps are yet closed te colored applicants. As the war goes ‘on, and losses begin to increase, these branches will fall into line and start recruiting in the colored sections. CHIEDREN'S DAY AT ALLEN Children’s Day was richly celebrat- ed at Allen A. M. BE. Chureh last Sunday. In the morning the pastor, Rev. ©. H .Stepteau prgached a_ser- mon to the children on’ “Christianity in the Home.” In the afternoon. the Uttle ones rendered a splendid pro- gram under the leadership of Mrs. ‘Katherine Miller, assistant primary ‘suporintendentzAt the close of this service the little tots and the grown- ups numbering over four hundred. took their annual march through the small “str8ets and with beautifully inscribed cards invited the wayward ones to the church and Sunday School. ‘They. were led by the Pastor, super- Intendent and all the officers and teachers. Each chita carried an American flag and a boquet of reses. At the hight service Dr. Stepteau ex- pressed himself as highly elated at the ‘great work being done in the school, ‘The school will hold its annual pic- ‘nic at Brown's Grove next Thucsday. | ‘AFRO-AMERICAN. “ SATURDAY, JUNE. 16, 1917. AFRO Race Makes Ask Governor Good Showing | For Regiment In Registration of Soldier: Despite the fact that the ee)” ® proseribed against all over the coun try, returns from the registration for possible army service show the race heck and neck with other elements of the population. ‘This was especially true in the South, where the race is disfranchised and otherwise yreatty discriminated against, ‘The total registration reported up to last Monday morning was 3,808,959, citizens and alion, Of these 728,955 Were colored. This is considered a fine showing for the! race, when one considers that the Negro forms only fbout one-ninth of the population, while in the registration he gave more than one-eighth of the total. Out of a total of 120,438 registered in Maryland, 22,655 were colored, This shows the colored peopic as contribu- ting more than one-sixth. If 922 sien enemies tnd 7,487 other aliens are subtracted from the aggregate number, the colored people are noar- ly one-fifth of the native and natural- ized citizens registered. 7 ‘the colored people had 11,383 on the books aut of a total of about 59,000- in Baltimore clty. ‘Tho indi- cated requests for exemptions show that the colored people were not as eager to escape army service as whites. Out in Illinois, with about 50 pre- cincts missing last Saturday, the col- ored people had 20,957 in a total of 629,659. ‘There were 95,559 aliens. DOWN VARDAMAN'S WAY Down in Mississippi where James i, Vardaman rose to political power by inveighing against the colored people having voting and other rights, 74.579 colored were registered and 64/334 whites. ‘There were only 612 aliens listed. This state has a popu- lution of colored in excess of the whites, In Alabama, which has recently lost thousands of colored people through migration Northward, the colored. people had 69,950 out ‘of a total of 179,828, ‘The tolul includes 1,263 aliens. In Tennessee, where a large number of colored men vote, a. nearly com- plete report gives 44.170 colored inn total of 87,524. There were *1,108 aliens. Virginia reports 58,363 colored in a total of 181,826. There are 2,754 aliens. In West Virginia, where suffrage is universal, out of a total of 127,409, there were 11,872 colored, The aliens numbered 12,875. ‘There were 554 colored in a total enrotlment of 221,401 in Wisconsin, [while Vermont only 17 eotored among 27,658. Kthode Isiand had 967 among 42478 and little Delaware reported 3,351 colored in a tow: registration of 21,864. The District of Columbia had 19.096 colored in an aggregate of 32,550. — Down in North Carolina thousands of Negroes so willingly registered that newspapers a!l over tne state praised then. In one town a, colored mins- trel company playing at a theater wanted to be listed taere, fearing that there may be some delay in the nytiled certificates reaching thelr ro- spective home towns. ‘Additional Rgures bring a total of golored rugistered up, to nearly 800, New York state tma a total of 1,026,573, of whom 18,954 were color- ed. ‘The’ alien-list inclded a number of West Indians, Big Class Graduates From Hish School | The following graduates of the Colored High School will receive -di- plomas at the commencement exer- cises on Wednesday at the Lyric: February, 1917.

Ask Governor For Regiment of Soldiers With the Government using every effort to register every man of mill- tary age in the country and then go- ing after the slackers because they have not registered, it looks a little strange that men should be forced ts the point where they have to petition the governor of the state for the priv. eleze of enlisting at the country's call ‘and yet this is exactly what is true The First Separate Company has been in existance for so long, that today its captain, (Captain Spencer,) is the tanking captain in the state. Had he had the good fortune to have beer born in_any other country than the United States he would in all proba: bility be today a brigadier general instead-of a miere captain. Now the colored citizens, anxious tc do their “bit” have petitioned Govern: or Harvington for permission to add to the First Separate Company a suf: ficient number of men to make it a regiment. As far as we have beer ubie to learn, up. to the present the permission has not been given. The petition follows: “Honorable Emerson C. Harrington Governor of Maryland, “The undersigned citizens of | the State of Maryland, most respectfully petition your Excellency to recom: mend to the Legislature when it con yenes on June 12th, 1917, the forma. tion and equipment of a colored regi: ‘ment for the State of Maryland, | “The colored citigens of this State have ever. heen loyal to the State and nation and have always been patrioti enough to serve the government wher ever given an opportunity to do so. ir order that the princ:ptes for which this nation stand might live "We respectfully represent that the First.

Adams, the famous evangelist, will deliver a special sermon at Grace Presbyterian Church on Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock, subject "Woman, the Eternal Obligation: Miss Charlotte Davage, President E. M. Wilson, Secretary. Some young women in Western Maryland decided the other day that these are times for doing things rather than talking about them, so decided to organize themselves into a branch of the American Red Cross. They held a meeting, had a prominent Red Cross worker to speak for them, and following the talk they elected officers, and planned to receive instructions in first aid to the injured. It is up to every one of us to do his or her part to make life worth while, as the old saying says "It's no difference whether you or I. It's big pig, little pig, root hog or die." Not very elegant is it? But nevertheless true. The fact of the matter is that each one of us must have a heart for something if we hope to be something worth, while. These women have no doubt concluded that if our men have to fight then they should prepare to do their part by learning how to care for them in their hour of need, and that now is the time to prepare. Now-a-days drones are not wanted, the man or woman who is a weakling who "toils not neither do they spin finds himself pushed to a side, not wanted, crowded out. Gentleman of leisure are labelled not wanted. In these strenuous times as you know, every living creature nas to root for a living or die. Of course there is lots of talking being done in these stirring times but it is encouraging to discover that it is not all talk, and that one is getting results. He was a shabby genteel sort, this fellow I saw and heard utter an ultimatum that he has seen fit to keep, born genteel and rendered shabby by the bars over which his dimes and nickels have poured in a steady stream for years. He was holding up a corner as usual when he suddenly decided that he wanted another drink; he started to cross the street without looking where he was going and pulled up short right in the road of an automobile that was noiselessly gliding up the hill, bewildered for the moment he was undecided which way to turn, when the automobile stopped so close to him that for the moment he thought he was hit, but he was suddenly brought to his senses by some one in the auto saying "You fool nigger can't you move?" He looked and discovered the person who was talking to him was the man who owned the place he was preparing to spend his last dime. The saloon keeper had a couple of chins and no neck to speak of, if he had any it was hidden by those thick chins. In the rear was seated his wife, a large heavy woman, and his two daughters all three flashily dressed with numerous diamonds, pearis and emeralds glistening from fingers and ears. He didn't recognize the man he had so often patted on the back and encouraged to spend his money over his bar by treating and occasionally drinking with. Oh no, he was "nigger" now and in the way. Instead of continuing his way over to the bar my friend turned around and went the other way. "And to think" he said, "that I have contributed the best part of my hard earned money to pay for that car and that finery, while my wife had to be satisfied to wear cotton dresses and delighted if she had the money to get one decent dress a year. Never again will I enter his place or any one else's. I'm done I am going home and surprise the trust little woman living and some day if I work faithful I may own an auto that will pass his on the road, and my wife may be able to wear jewels as good as those his wife is wearing. All right little woman you will not be dressed shabby any more not while I can work. Old fat chin will get no more of my dimes or nickels, never again." She had been a country school teacher when she met the man who afterwards became her husband. Country teachers do not have very easy times, and work hard to get results and have to be satisfied in most cases with small pay. But Jim was so very good to her and she found life very pleasant with him, then one day the stork left a dear baby boy with them and their cup was full and running over. But one never to be forgotten day Jim was brought home dead, and so badly mangled that they refused to let her see him. When they laid Jim away and she found she had to face the world alone again she found she could not leave the baby to the care of strangers while she taught and she wondered what she could do to take care of her and she found many days thought and worry she was far from a solution of the problem as ever when it was suddenly solved for her by a neighbor, who had run in for a few minutes. On her table was a plate of old fashioned Maryland beat biscuits, looking at them with covetous eyes, she said "Mrs. Tibbs, will you sell me a dozen of these biscuits, I will pay you whatever you ask, my husband is so fond of them and so am I but I can't ever get them to look like yours." "I tell you a dozen for twenty cents," she replied. "Very well you can sell me two dozen at that price if you will" was the answer. In this way my little lady started a thriving business, one customer brought her many and in time she had as much as she could attend to properly, and today she has a comfortable income of $25 a week clear of all expenses, and baby is getting all the attention he needs and growing like a fine fellow. Indeed when I saw him last he was a sturdy lad of 7 years and helping his mother by delivering her orders for her. Beat the yolks of six eggs and the whites of three until light. Cream one cupful of butter and one cupful of sugar, together and add the pulp and juice of four oranges. Mix with the eggs and stir over the fire in a double boiler to thicken. Fill two pastry lined pans and bake in a moderate oven. When done, cover with the meringue made of the three whites not used and set in the cool oven to dry. Contributed by S. V. M. 1 cup butter, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 3 cups flour, 2 teaspoons extract vanilla or lemon. Rub the butter and sugar to a light cream, add the yolks of the eggs and beat well, add the flour, sifted with the powder, the milk and extract, mix with the milk batter, then fold in the whites of the eggs (which have been beaten to a stiff froth). Bake in cake pan in a moderate oven for one hour. Delicious! THE BOSTON EDITOR Dr. CHESTER St.JULIAN MACBETH On Wednesday, the 13th inst., forty-one graduated and received diplomas at the medical school of the Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. The only colored man to graduate was Chester St. Julian Macbeth, the second son of Mr. Arthur L. Macbeth, the Baltimore photo-artist. The family originated at Charleston, S. C., but has lived in Baltimore about seven years. In rearing and educating his numerous children, the father, as a rule, studied each child's inclinations as they grew and developed and directed their education along the lines of their greatest aptitude. Dr. Macbeth was educated for a contracting electrical engineer, but after taking the electrical engineer's course at the Armour Institute or Technology he discovered there was practically no field in America for a colored man in that business as the wealthy corporations monopolize the business and employ such skilled men. Abhorring the idea of being a hired man for life, he, with characteristic dogged determination, took up the study of medicine four years ago at the prestigious University. He will specialize in Koenignology and surgery. Dr. Micheth has accepted an internship at Provident Hospital, Chicago. After graduating from the High School at Charleston, S. C., he served an apprenticeship in the Motor Department of the Electric Railway Company, Charleston. Later he was made inspector of motors for the system. He resigned that position in 1907 and spent the summer at the Jamestown Exposition with his father, who was a director of the Negro exhibit, after which he entered Fiskie University. In the course of his education, Dr. Macbeth completed the prescribed course in each of the following institutions: Winslow Preparatory School, Shaw Memorial School and Avery Normal Institute, Charleston, S. C.; Fisk University, Nashville, Tenn.; Armour Institute of Technology and Northwestern University, Chicago, Ill. Dr. Macbeth resides at 525 East 34th Place, Chicago. He is now 32 years old. Mildred Louise Talk of Interest to Women. As health is the first aid to beauty this story, told by Mildred Louise, beauty specialist, of Boston, Mass., is of unusual interest: "I can recommend no better health giver than tonoline," said Mildred Louise. "I was for many months a victim of stomach trouble and nervousness. I had suffered terribly from pains that followed eating. Headaches would also add to my worries. Poor digestion finally brought on nervousness. "Relief came, however, when I took the advice of several women who said 'take tonoline.' "Not long after I started the tonoline treatment, my patrons began to remind me of the improvement in my condition. And because health is the quickest way to beauty the improvement was particularly noticeable in my face. "What tonoline really did for me I cannot say, I am so grateful that I am willing to recommend tonoline publicly." Tonoline is a purely vegetable preparation which goes to the seat of common maladies—stomach and kidney trouble. catarral affections of the mucus membranes, liver ailments and impurities of the blood—and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained to many people daily at the Road Drug and Chemical Co., Howard and Lexington Sts., Bullo, MD. Notice—As tonoline is a wonderful flesh builder it should not be taken by any one not wishing to increase his weight ten pounds or more. Although many reports are received from those who have been benefited by tonoline in severe cases of stomach trouble and nervous dyspepsia, chronic constipation, etc. —50c. BOX FREE.
