The tablet is a copy of a tablet unveiled by Robert Brown Elliott School and School streets, last afternoon, by the School Impress- ment Association of Northwest Baltimore. At the same time a port- ment of Leonard Calvert and a Prentice Key Medallion were presented to the school. Superinten- tion of the public school system and communities were present and deliver their addresses. After Lu- na Gibb of the teachers gave a historic account of the school and its graduates of the school and its Lawyer Clark L. Smith president of the tablet and Mr. Geo. B. the school. 1. Z. Johnson, master of the Maid, street Presbyterian Church, was a liberal speaker. He said he was a “prosper and honest” Brown Elliott's life. 2. “Understanding his name upon the school is with meaning to set him up as a school of development, standard of demand or realization. For the race this school serves in the training of its youth. The name of Robert Brown Elliott is to serve as an inspection to the pupils here by what it ever speaks to the intelligent and effective Negro life. It blinds them, as he knew what in it is of worth to do and their use to the approving judgment of men, and to command for the high place of service and distinction in the world of men.” 3. “The greatest point of all is, that it assumes them that they can, if they will, greatly and be worthy, as great and worthy as any other of the race of men. Negro origin and condition are no natural and impossible bar in full manhood, development and achievement. The high career of Robert Brown Elliott makes for confidence in the powers and capabilities of the race to rise as others have risen and trod the heights of human life and others stand.” A figure of the unveiling was the slam of America to a tune composed especially for the occasion by the President George B. Murphy. Found in their effort to persuade the professors of Morgan College not to buy the old Ivy Mills property on the farmland Road, whites living in that community succeeded in having a bill imposed Monday on the campus the easy version of the legislature, designed to prevent the college going there, and the high class community loved people being established there. The protecting wires went to Annapolis one day last week to kick us out of the boating of the college in their city. The bill is entitled *A Memorandum to Prevent the Eclipse of the Races*. The protection of additional buildings, such as churches, cellings—to be used by colored people shall be prohibited in that section of Baltimore county, north of the city line, between Harford and Hillen Road, to Taylor avenue and Hillen Road. In view of the fact that the United States Supreme Court has before it a case against the validity of the London, Richmond and Baltimore recreation laws, it is not expected any action will be taken. DENBAR GRADUATES 148 Washington, June 19—Last night's graduates of the Dumbo High School numbered 153. Sixteen of these came from the 4 year business department and 5 from the two-year course. Fourteen scholarships were awarded, mainly the colleges of the North. Prof. Paul Huns of Harvard, delivered the annual address. DR. RUSSELL DECLINES. Archdeacon James S. Russell, who was recently elected Suffragan Bishop of the Diocese of Arkansas, has addressed a letter to Bishop Winchester, of Little Rock, Ark., declining the appointment. Bishop Hurst Suddenly Ill Considerable anxiety was caused in the city during the early part of the week when news reached here that Bishop John Hurst was stricken seriously ill. Fearing for the worst, his wife, Mrs. Bertina Hurst, accompanied by her son, Dr. T. P. Hurst, of Washington, left a car to meet the Bishop was attending the commencement exercises of Wilberforce University, the annual meeting of the Trustee Board and the Bishops' Council. After careful examination by skilled physicians it was found that the Bishop was not suffering from pain as analysed by Dr. P. Hurst, and poor circulation in one of his limbs which gave way under him three times before he finally reached his chamber. Bishop Hurst is secretary of the Bishops' Council, which position together with the arduous work of his Episcopal district, has taxed his capacities quite seriously during the past months and contributed to his ill-health. He is unusually cheerful and the immediate friends and family are hopeful, the physicians saying that with care he will soon be able to oresume his regular duties. Hours of friends immediately rallied to his aid when he was stricken and all possible was done to relieve his sufferings. Bishop is now at his home on McCollish street, having arrived here Wednesday in company with his wife and son. Begs Pupils To Continue In School Washington, D. C., June 26—The Bureau of Education has issued the declaration. "When the war is over there will be made upon us such demands for men and women of knowledge and training as have never before come to any country. There will be equal need for a much higher average of general intelligence for citizens than has been necessary for men and women to be rebuilt and American college men and women must assume a large part of the task. In all international affairs we must feed our own industrial population and a large part of the population of Western and Central Europe. We must readjust our industrial and social and civic life and institutions. We must reassess our foreign communication to must increase our war wage and to carry on all the enterprises for the general welfare which have been begun but many of which will be retired as the war continues. China and Russia with their new democracies and their new developments which will come in will need and will ask in many ways for assistance. France, Italy and the Central Powers will all be going through a process of reconstruction and we should be ready to give them generously every possible help." Their college and university students, their recent graduates, and their younger professors are fighting and dying in the renaissance, or are ready dead, as are men of the older age and literary men, and others whose work is necessary for the enlargement of the cultural and spiritual size and for all that makes for higher civilization. For many years after the war is over some of these countries will be unable to support their colleges and universities as they have supported them the past, and to the present. We must be ready to assume all the responsibilities and perform thoroughly and well all the duties that will come to us in the new and more closely related world which will rise out of the ruins of the old world which is now passing away in the destruction of the war. To what extent and how well we may adee to do this will depend upon your years, your wisdom, who are graduating from our high schools and upon those who will follow in the next few years to a longer degree than upon any other like number of people." NACANCIES AT DES MOINES. Washington, June 20—Seventeen pockets under the leadership of Mr. Percy P. Piper were designated by the War Department from the Eastern division to fill vacancies in the Southeastern division's quota. The man had admitted to this requirement at Nurtersham, and had to be telephoned for. Most of the seventeen are students at Howard University. A later report states that a confusion of orders between the War Department and General Woolen led the former body to send 17 instead of 7 men as requested. Room will probably be made for the extra ten men. MME HACKLEY GIVES PAGENT Chicago, Illinois, June 21—Madam E. Azin Mackley, the well-known voice artist, gave a pagent here last week founded on the queen's raily idea, which she saw while in Baltimore last spring. It was for the benefit of the Y. W. C. A., and was highly successful. Mrs. Hackley recently attended the National Council with Miss Josephine Wormley, were the only colored persons present. She made an effort to get Prof. Dett of Hampton Institute on the executive committee but was unsuccessful. Mrs. Hackley will appear in Baltimore in the early fall and give her new pagen there. Dr. Moton of Tuskegee, says that one droned man has caused a large excuse from Macon county, Georgia, returning from the North with $600 in savings with which he paid off back debts and purchased a small farm.

Just tear this advertisement out, sign your name, address and date of marriage on the margin and mail it to us, marking it the "Jane Bride Contest." The winner will be announced on July 17th. Thanaging you we are very proud. Venturing to reflect upon the remarks of Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell, principal speaker at the High School Commencement at the Lyric Theatre Wednesday night, as inappropriate and out of place, an omnious silence greeted James F. Thrift, city treasurer, President and conferred the "diplomats." A moment later, when he went so far as to contradict Mrs. Terrell's assertion, that a larger freedom for the Negro was bound to follow the world war, the large audience that completely filled the theatre began to dislike it. The audience had been misunderstood, but the hissing continued, and the treasurer finished his remarks under difficulty. Mrs. Terrell who is well known as a platform speaker on both sides of the Atlantic, and as the wife of Judge Thomas Terrell, was in the District of Columbia, spoke to the graduates upon "The effect of the World war upon the Colored People MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL in America." She referred to the war as the conflict of democracy and human rights on one side and autocracy and oppression on the other. She noted the extension of freedom and justice that has come to the Russian Jews, and the oppressed and divided In Great Britain also Mrs. Terrell sees a change toward human liberty in the promise of self government to the Irish, in the extension of the franchise to English women, and in the intention of England to keep Germany's ill-treated ? African colonists rather than restore them after the war. In France, said Mrs. Terrell, there exists no prejudice between the races, and it is just possible that our only will give the United States lessons in treating its colored citizens. With the whole world, the United States included, arrayed on the side humanity against oppression, Mrs. Terrell continued. "The United States shall not be benefited, and a larger measure of freedom and of equality of opportunity be his after the war is over. Mrs. Terrell urged the graduates not to be discouraged by the recent leaching in Tennessee, and the mobs riots against working men in Illinois, but to make themselves reliable and efficient workers so as to take advantage of every opportunity for advancement which this present day affords. Following directly Mrs. Terrell City Comptroller Thrift rose to confer the diplomas. He stated that he liked to be around where something was doing and that he found coerced people interested. And he was being coerced by the boss, and coerced people. Colored people also knew him. Continuing, Mr. Thrift said that he did not think this the occasion to speak of loyalties, to emphasize the faults of either race, but to speak of the teachings of Jesus or something equally pleasant. "You will not enjoy any more of liberty after the war than you do today." Here he was interrupted by blush. When he was not allowed to go on in this line he famely stammered and bored in understanding and included in one or two opinions. After handing out the bishops, Mr. Thrift did not take his seat but left the stage amid chipping and During the loudest part of the hissing, which was general thrust the audience, and well deserved, Principal Hawkins stepped to the front of the platform, but made no further offer to quiet the evidences of disapproval, it would be useless, at any rate, for the city official had blundered past all help. There was a smile on Mrs. Terreira face, as the audience resented the treasurer's remarks, and finally routed him alo- Mrs. Terrell was given rousing apause when she concluded her address, and was completely showered with congratulations after the exercises. Many of the audience expressed themselves afterward as greatly dignified that Comprender had of his appearance on the platform in an official enquiry to air his personal opinions as a Southerner on the race question. Several well known persons gave it out as their opinion that the only inaptures things on the platform were the attack upon the speaker of the evening, and that the audience exhibited great patience in the light reprimand meted out to him. THEIFT A VIRGINIAN Competitor Thrift is a Virginia and a graduate of McDonough school. He lives at 2212 Lombard street. Some time ago he advocated that white and colored ball teams be prohibited from guard against each other in the public parks. Mrs. Mary Church Torrell is a matrice of Tennessee and a graduate of Oberlin College. She is noted as a teacher, and has spent time in London, Germany and Berlin. She speaks German and French fluently. DOCTOR MOTON IN PITTSBURGH. Pittsburgh, Tn., June 20.—Dr. R. Dr. Motton delivered a stirring address before the National Conference of Charities and Correction, which is holding its Annual Session at the Dixon Theatre; Dr. Motton said; "I hope therefore, that this Conference, especially those members from the South will use every opportunity to help our country by making this large and productive element of our population as useful economically and otherwise to their communities as possible, and to help them by making it more hygienic, happy and contented and the only way to make him contented is to treat him as an American citizen, bestowing upon him all the rights and privileges enjoyed by the other American citizens, no more and no less; and by giving him protection of life and property and the privilege to live north and south amid decent surroundings; a chance to educate his children and a chance to thoroughly train his bodies. This secures the patriotic duty of our American of influence and power. This it seems to me, would be a wise and constructive program for this Conference in so far as its activities among my people in the cabins of the South, as well as the alleys of Northern cities, a chance to educate and the chance to live in a healthy and wholesome environment, and when these people are trained, it is our duty to see that they have a chance to work." PITCHTEN AT WAR STRENGTH New York, June 22—The Fifteenth Regiment is the only 26th of infantry in the State that is recruited to full war strength. 2002 men are required and New York's only colored regiment has 2010.

Rookies Have Stiff Program Des Moines, June 20—Up at 5:45 in the morning, work until 9:45 in the evening with very few intermissions, then nothing to do until tomorrow. This is the program of the 1250 men at Port Des Moines, who are to command the first group of colored troops raised under the selective conscription law: 5:45 a. m. revile. 5:45 a. m., revene. 6:00 a. m., morning mess 7:00 a. m., to noon, morning instruction. 12:15 p. m., noon mess. 1:30 to 4:30 p. m., archeon instruction. This is the program; that will be followed closely throughout the duration of the camp. It virtually calls for ten hours of work; out of twenty-four. All of the Baltimore men passed the second physical examination in good shape, and are taking to the work like ducks to the water. Arms are somewhat sore from the vaccine, and the men were inoculated in order to guard against possible typhoid fever. Equipment has been distributed and camps set in order and the men will be down to hard work by the end of the week. Maryland New Jersey and Delaware have been sent to Fort Des Moines, Iowa, Company 2. The Tampa Florida Times is urging the Government to provide for the return of all colored workmen, who have migrated Northward, so that southern agriculture will not fall behind. From the last cargo of slaves brought to this country from Africa in 1859, nine grizzled, weather-beaten old men and women live in Plateau, just outside of Mobile, Alabama. The youngest is 76, and the oldest probably 110. In our newly required West Indies the whites are outnumbered in some places 290 to 1. Most of the business, many of the estates and practically all of the government offices are counted for the natives. Civic and business matters run as smoothly as in the United States. To employ Negro labor exclusively, the factory was opened in Detroit, Michigan, films girls are art work marking trousers, and some of them are masters. Eventually the number is to be increased to 100. A Children's Clerus of 1500 school boys and girls, rich and poor, black and white, occupied the platform of the Northwestern University Gymnasium, Erwinston, Ill., in a Festival of Music recently. "Harpton Institute is of more value to the Negro race than Howard University?" was one of the topics debated in the English classes of the Hampton graduating class. At the express wish of the graduating class that Commencement be omitted this year on account of the high cost of living and that they might go on to the end of the year in gardening and farm work without interruption, Cheyne Training School, Cheyne, Pa., closed its year last week. 100 persons, men and women were arrested in Chicago for improper dancing. A white banker was included in the number. A Mississippi court has decided that in the law which prohibits colored persons from attending white schools, the word colored shall be construed to mean Negro or Indian. Two thousand workers in the General Electric Plant of Scheming, N.Y., gift work when a colored colleague youth was given vacation employment. The white workers regard the youths employment as the initial step in introducing large numbers of skilled colored men into the plant. The Illinois State Legislature Committee appointed to investigate the labor riots in East St. Louis are contemplating a bill to prevent outside workingmen from coming into the State to take the places of the men sent to war. Rev. Albert Scott of the Fourth M. E. Church-Boston, Mass., has been chosen by Mayor Curley as the chaplain for the 4th of July exercises at Faneuil Hall. This is said to be the first time that a colored man has so officiated. On Friday of last week, 63 graduates of the Miner Normal School, Washington, D. C., received their diplomas. Rev. E. B. Smith, pastor of the Lincoln Temple congregational Church, made the principal address. A scholarship to Howard University was awarded to Miss Elenor Rivers. The colored population of Detroit Michigan, has doubled in the past year. The Urban League of that city has aided the workmen to secure skilled employment, rent sanitary homes, and obtain healthful recreation. Neighborhood canes and an athletic league prover centres of interest for the newcomers. Washington, June 21.—A report made by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones of an investigation conducted for the United States Bureau of Education and with the co-operation of the Philips-Stokes Fund, of New York, assures that the Negro is more in need of an education that will fit him for country life than agricultural pursuits is declared the primary need, rather than for the higher walks of life. While the report is so worded for public consumption as to make it appear that the Negro is being trained in the management of the elementary, it hints that the South is grossly resentful in providing support for the Negro common schools. It is a notorious fact that the South makes but scant provision for colored rural schools and only a few cities have high schools for Negro pupils. In many cities the cities that have no Negro high schools. Poor pay for teachers and unit buildings are another deterrent in public education. MARKLAND AN OFFENDER Maryland is only a little ahead of the far South in providing school facilities for its colored rural population. The last Legislature there increased the terms of colored county schools to a minimum of seven months, after years of agitation against the shortness of the school year, which was as low as three months in some counties. The state offers any county $1,500 a year which installs industrial training, but makes practically no provision for educational training in colored rural schools. All the colored institution it supports for the all colored people is the State Normal School at Bowie. This school does not receive anything like the financial support it should have. In order to receive the federal appropriation to aid in running the Maryland Agricultural College (white) the school does not receive any federal support. Anne Academy controlled by the M. E. Church, as the agricultural college for colored. While this institution is doing an admirable work, it does not equal in any degree the scope of the Maryland Agricultural College. DR. JONES' RETORT "Despite this (very) overwhelming proportion of Negroes living in the rural districts of the South," says Dr. Jones. The century public school systems ignore the century public school systems, the simple trades needed, constantly on the farms. Few States provide higher schools of agriculture or supplement adequately the Federal funds appropriated for the joint operation of such schools for the Negroes. The schools conducted "naturally by the colored people teach the classes and the students learn the trades and rather be emphasizing agricultural and industrial training, and the other private schools, as a whole, teach farming and its supplemental trades only in a perfumery way. "Of the private schools, Hampton Institute, Tuskegee Institute, and a few smaller institutions are making a genuine effort to prepare pupils for rural life. With very few exceptions, the few smaller schools have failed to develop a major interest in rural problems. The large majority have not even tried. "The explanation of the indifference is in the conviction of the colored people that the way to prosperity and happiness is the study of literary sublimes, and especially the classical literature. In the case of the example of the white people, who are only beginning to see the error of their belief. This conviction is emphasized by the life of drudgery which the pupils in colored schools have always seen to be the lot of coloured education also makes them loath to lose any opportunity to master the wonders of the printed page." AUTO ACCIDENTS A Schauck, white, was fatally injured when the motorcycle he was driving collided with an automobile driven by Joseph Bowen, of 2012 Brunt street. According to eyewitnesses of the accident, Schauck, who was coming north on Division street came to the left side of the street, making a short turn at Laurens street. Bowen was coming south on Division street close to the right side of the street. Attorney Clarke L. Smith, driving his new car, sidesteped a lamppost on Druid Hill avenue in front of Bethel Church. A shake-up of the occupants was the only damage. Thomas Gray, aged six years, of 560 W. Biddle street, had both legs broken by an auto last Monday afternoon about five o'clock. He was removed to Provident Hospital for treatment. Eugene Landall, age nine, was cut over the eye and suffered a homorrhage of the nose as the result of a collision with an auto on Middle St. near Madison Avenue. He was carried to Provident Hospital where his wounds were dressed. HAVE NOT BEEN INTIMIDATED. St. Louis, Mo., June 20-J. M. Batchman, who spent two days in town after the riots, interviewing white and colored people, has the following interesting summary of his investigations: THE RESULT The direct result of the riot has been to increase the dogged determination of the most of the Colored people to stand their ground, for they realize there is no other section of the country where a like disturbance would not occur under similar conditions, in fact, they expect to see more affairs of the kind over the country until Uncle Sam finds it necessary to take a hand which all feel must come. Colored men have not been intimidated—what the mob wanted, except a few timid ones recently from the South, who have taken flight and returned, and those who left some of the large plants have returned to their work. The managers of some of the largest corporations, say the Negro is as vital to their operation as their buildings, as they do work, which white men either cannot or will not do, and if they were denied Colored help, they would have to close up and move their plants. The white people have begun to bemoan the occurrence and see the mistake in allowing things to reach such a crisis under the dictates of fanatical labor leaders. Furniture stores had dozens of wagon loads of furniture returned to them which was then in a second hand condition; other merchants see a decreased pay roll in some of the plants and a consequent lessening of their volume of weekly business; Morris, Swift and Armour lost 550 men and would have had to curtail their output, for their return to do the drudgery or other work according to their ability at wages ranging from $2.35 to $5.75 per day, regardless of the they have contracts to fill for the government which would effect provisioning of the army we are raising 35 per cent of their help is Colored. CHILDREN'S DAY EXERCISES Children's Day exercises were held at Union Baptist Church last Sunday afternoon. The exercises were in charge of Mr. S. S. Booker, superintendent of the Sunday School and Mrs. D. N. E. Campbell.

A beautiful home weeding was solemnized on Thursday evening, June 14th at 8:20 p.clock, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William H. Parsons, 2835 Mt. Vernon street, when Mr. Charles H. Chipman, of Cape May, N. T., and Mrs C. Joanette Pinkett, of Salisbury, Md., were united in marriage by the Rev. Dr. F. A. Butler. The bride was attired in steel crepe de chine and carried a huge bouquet of white carnations and red bridal roses. Mr. Wm. H. Parsons, brother-in-law of the bride, was best man and Mrs. Ola Parsons, sister of the bride, was bridesmaid. After the ceremony the bridal party was ushered into the dining room, with its home-like appearance bespeaking the word "welcome" and "God bless you" in every way. Amid many good wishes, Mr. and Mrs. Chipman left for Cape May where they will spend their honey-moon. BROADWAY.RASTUS That the people of Baltimore will have a chance to see the much talked of show Broadway Rastus next week at the Orpheum Theatre is indeed a treat. From all reports sent out from New York, Philadelphia and Washington, this show is the biggest and most pretentious musical comedy production since the days of Williams and Walker and Cole and Johnson and by some critics said to be the greatest colored show of all times. It carries 50 people including sixteen Stars. The Pankey, Henry Jones, Billy McCurrier, Father Bigone, Irvin C. Miller, Downs and Gomez, Chinese Walker, Grace Johnson, Herbert Benson, Leo Edwards, Minus and Bryant, Sadie McCurrier, Pearl Roy and Fred Hart compose the wonder Cast. The show is presented in two sets and 17 scenes. A Dance and Song Jubilee from Georgia to Broadway with a hundred features, among the big scenes are "Sunshine Mountains," a mountain scene bigger than the mountain scene in "The Round Up" and requires one baggage car alone to carry it. "Lovers Roost," the latest scenic creation of Irvin C. Miller is a gigantic Stair Case on which all the show girls of the past and present pass in review. CHURCH RAISES LARGE AMOUNT Washington, June 24—The rally last Sunday at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church netted $1520 with all the reports not yet in.

The doctor gave some to Susie Smith's mother and she was worse off than you are, and now she looks just fine." "There can be no healthy, rosy-checked women without iron." says J. Ferdinand King, a doctor at Physician and now she looks just fine." In my recent talks to physicians on the grave and serious consequences of iron deficiency in the blood of American women, I have strongly emphasized the fact that doctors should prescribe more organic iron — nuxedal iron — for their nervous, run-down, weak, hagging, irritated skin. Pallor means anemia. The skin of an anaemic woman is pale, the flesh flabby. The muscles lack tone, the brain fags and the memory fails, and often they become weak, nervous, irritable, despondent and melancholy. When the iron goes from the blood of the crown, the roses go from their cheeks." "In the most common foods of America, the starches, sugars, table syrups, candies, polished rice, white bread, soda crackers, biscuits, macaroni, spaghetti, tapa, sugo, fennel, potato, and sugar are iron to be found. Refining processes have removed the iron of Mother Earth from these impoverished foods, and silly ruthenium down the waste pipe, the waters in which our vegetables are cooked are responsible for another grave iron loss." "Therefore if you wish to preserve your youthful vih and vigor to a ripe age, if you would like to enjoy the delight in your food by using some form of organic iron, just as you would use salt when your food has not enough salt."

I am convinced that in this way they could ward off disease, preventing it becoming organic in thousands of cases and thereby the lives of thousands might be saved who now die from pneumonia and other dangerous maladies. The real and true cause which started their disease was not nothing more nor less than a weakened condition brought on by a lack of iron in the blood. On account of the peculiar nature of woman, and the great death places her system at certain periods, she requires iron much more than man to help make up for Iron is absolutely necessary to enable your blood to change food into living tissue. Without it, no matter how much or what you eat, your food merely passes through you without doing you any good. You don't get the strength out of it, and as a consequence you become weak, 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 mixed iron three times per day after meals for two weeks. Then test your strength again and see how much you have gained. I have been working with them all the while due to their strength and endurance and entirely themselves of all symptoms of diabetes, liver and other troubles, in from ten to fifteen days.

I have used Nuxatid Iron widely in my own practice in most severe neglected conditions with unfailing results. I have induced many other physicians to give it a trial, all of whom have given me most赞助, and have been power at health and strength builder. Many an athlete and prizeigner has won the day simply because he have the secret of great strength and endurance and filled his blood with iron before he went into the affray; while many another has gone down in inglorious defeat simply for the lack of iron. Dr. Schurger C. J. Jaques, Visiting Surgeon of St. Elizabeth's Hospital, New York City, said: "I have never before given out any medical information to anyone, and ordinarily do not believe in it. But so many American women suffer from iron deficiency, with its attendant—physical weakness, nervous irritability, and anchily, indigestion, fabby, sagging muscles, etc., etc.—and in consequence of their weakened, run-down condition they are so liable to contract serious and even fatal diseases, that I deem it my duty to advise all such to take Nuxated Iron. I have taken it myself and given it to my patients with most surprising and satisfactory results. And those who wish quickly to increase their strength, power and endurance will find it a most remarkable result. NOTE: Nuxated Iron, which is prescribed and recommended above by physicians in such a great variety of cases, is not a patent medicine or secret remedy, but one which is well known and is widely used in the present day.

SUBSCRIPTION RATES PAYABLE IN ADVANCE One Year - - - One Dollar Six Months - - - Fifty Cents Three Months - - - Forty cents BALTIMORE, MD., JUNE 23, 1917 The High School can learn something from the Normal School when it comes to simplicity of dress and unostentation at commencement exercises. In four different sections of the city, citizens' associations have presented tablets to the schools. Dunbar, Eanneler, Douglass and Elliott are the honored buildings. At the unveiling of the tablet at the last named building, Superintendent Koch remarked that a larger percentage of colored schools than white had received this honor at the hands of these citizen associations. Eventually all of the schools are to have names and tablets. If the school community has not pride and interest enough to give the money for defraying the expenses connected therewith, then the School Commissioners step in and furnish the funds out of the public treasury. It is a high mark of distinction, when these citizen associations voluntarily present tablets to schools in their neighborhood and themselves conduct the ceremonies. It is the beginning of the larger community interest so necessary to the best development of our school system. Robert Brown Elliott school and the Northwestern Citizens' Association are to be congratulated upon stepping into line. What about that swimming pool? "Many are the backs that are weary toplight... tonic, "From using the spade and the hoe. Many are the men who are straining The Washington Normal School, which this year sent out 63 graduates, has been boasting for many years that it furnished the best part of all the teachers for the middle states. The large class of forty-four young men and women that our local Training School sent out this year makes it evident that Baltimore is doing its bit toward the proper education of school teachers. Morace D. Slatter, whose articles on "Men I Have Known" have delighted and instructed Afro-American readers, has the following to say on "Beating 'T. B.'" "The physician prescribes absolute rest, fresh food, three of the most expensive items in the catalog. Now what has the Negro do but die? How is he going to rest, when he has no money? How is he going to stay in the open without sufficient clothing for himself for night and day? How in the world is he going to get the very best food when he is forced to pay 8 cents a pint for milk, 40 cents a dozen for fresh eggs, and the delivery boy can push his 50 cent stock through the kelpole?" Mr. Slatter is not cured of the disease. He has control of it, however, and believes that with due care and diligence he will be able to live out his allotted time of three score years and ten. He realized early that patient medicines, would not cure him, and did the sensible thing of putting his case squarely up to the physician, and then following his advice. If you light your fire near a cave, you will be pretty apt to smoke out something. Baltimore owes to Mrs. Terrell the credit for the discovery of a genuine southern copperhead in the city administration. MRS. THERRELL ON HESPONSI- DITY. Every day brings new evidence that lines of work obligate the mental occupations are becoming available to colored workmen as never before. The shortage of labor is country-wide. At the same time there is more business in the country than at any time before or during the present war. Our army and that of the allies is to be armed, clothed and fed. The industrial workers who are now engaged in these activities are not available in numbers sufficient to supply all needs. The colored workman can get himself accepted in any position for which he can qualify. As he makes himself more efficient, there is talk of bringing in the Mexican to do the drudgery, and even the renewal of Chinese immigration is being whispered abroad. The open letter of The Afro-American to the ministers and teachers and others in authority of the race to urge at every opportunity these new work men to become reliable and efficient has had two echoes during the past week. In Detroit, the Urban League, under the direction of Mr. Forrester B. Washington, is holding noon how meetings among the workingmen but recently come to that town. The director explains to them that they are on trial, and that they have got to make good. At the commencement of the High School Wednesday evening Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, the speaker of the occasion referring to the effect of the war upon labor, said: "Upon us is the necessity and responsibility of making a reputation for efficiency and responsibility. "A glorious opportunity lies in front of us. If we do not make ourselves more proficient in everything we do, it were better that a millstone were hanged around our neck, and we were thrown into the deep sea. If we were weighted in the balance and found wanting, our last days will be our worst days. Never before in history has there been the necessity of training men and women properly. Never has it been of more importance to make a reputation. It will be a little short of crime if we do not value this work, however, and prepare to avail ourselves of this opportunity." It would be a splendid thing if Mrs. Terrell could have told the graduates of a friendly world that will receive them after graduation, put them on the back and point their feet in the way of success. Unfortunately, reality is not so rosette. The young men and women, who entering into the many new positions are on trial. They will receive few favors. Tales is the responsibility and they must make good. COPPERHEAD CHRALRY. With due consideration for the large number of colored people in this city who look to the Baltimore American more than to any other daily paper for the fair representation of their activities, it does appear that its report of the High School commencement should have assumed the proper tone. To be explicit: The audience at the Lyric was not excited. They disagreed with Comptroller Thrift, and expressed this by not allowing him to continue in that line. Unusual forbearance, quite in keeping with the dignity of the occasion, was exercised by allowing him to continue at all, after he had stepped out of his official role, and began to give his personal opinion on a question which he is not qualified to discuss. Besides stepping to the front of the platform, the principal of the High School wisely refrained from any attempt to stop the hissing. Finally, the usually level-headed American lost its balance altogether in the attempt to support the discontent and ill-breeding of the city official in his over-anxiety to criticise publicly and with feeling the invited guest and speaker of the evening. Mr. Thrift is avowed southern born, but the much vaunted southern chivalry was noticeably lacking. DUNCAR'S BIRTHDAY, JUNE 27th. DUNBAR'S BIRTHDAY, JUNE 21st. There are many traits in the life of Paul La. since Dunbar, our national poet, which become brighter as the years go by. His persistence in sticking to a literary career against the advice of his friends and the sneers of his enemies, and his determination to win national recognition in spite of handicaps, are but two of the sterner sides of his character. On the softer side, there is evident in any number of his works an understanding love of nature and an interpretive devotion to his own people. Equally apparent in several of his poems is his love of children. "Little Brown Baby with Sparkling Eyes" and "Lins", to mention but these two are notable examples of his observation of child life. Perhaps less often quoted is his "Boogah Man." The barest mention of the title is enough to send a delightful shiver down the back of the southern reared youngster, while the short lines of regular trochees, in which the vowel "o" constantly recurs, adds materially in creating the effect of mystery and wonder. To quote only the two last stanzas: "Wen de win's a-slivering Thon de gloomy lare; Ant de comes de patinier' Of de evonin' rain Wen de ouch's a-hoodin' Cut dith in de wood, Don't you wish, say honey But you had been good? Tain't no use to try to Snuggle me to her Bless you, dut's de callin' Of de Loogah Man. E' you leves yo' mummy An you, minds your pap, If you nevah wiggles Outen Sukey's lap; If you says yo' hay me Evah night, single Fo' de tucks de kivers An unts out de light, Den de rain kin patuh, Win' blow lak a fan. But you need'n bothah 'Bout de Loogah Man." SAVING FOOD SAVING FOOD. We are paying at least 35 per cent more for the food that we eat than is paid for the same food in London. This is in spite of the fact that the food eaten in London in many cases is the same that has been exported there from the United States. Lamb chops cost 72 cents in London and 90 cents here; jelly is 6 cents there and 21 cents here. Fruits and tea and coffee cost 100 per cent more here than there. Prices in America now compared with the prices of the same commodities last October show an increase of 53 per cent. Until Congress took up the matter and began to talk of control of prices and food dictator- ship, there was every evidence that flour, potatoes and sugar would soon be out of reach of the average consumer. Food riots in several cities were only the forerunner of what was likely to become general unless Congress did something. While Congress is threashing out the matter, it is necessary for the household to practice the most rigid economy in order to live comfortably. There ought to be no more paring of vegetables before cooking. Fruit should be skinned in the most economic way. When one commodity is beyond the reach of the pocketbook, then another with the same food value ought to be substituted, which does not cost as much. Canned goods will be short next year, and for this reason, home-made canned and dried fruits and vegetables should be set aside to fill up this shortage. Here is where the home gardens come in. Nobody ought delay in spading up even the smallest space and setting out lettuce, onions, and even potatoes, tomatoes and corn. Mr. Roosevelt was right when he said early in the spring that the "people of America have got to do two things, "farm and arm." SAVE AND SAVE FOURTH. The committee on the celebration of a safe and same Fourth of July has completed its plans for the day. The program, which will be given in fall in next week's sane, includes arrangements for a mammoth mass meeting at Bethel Church on the evening of the 3rd. Mr. Harry T.

Church held their first camp fire outing on Sunday, June 15th at M. Washington. The girls with their guardian met at 15:10 Presstman street at 5:20 A. M. and a prayer of inspiration and songs of devotion, left for M. Washington. Arriving there the girls followed a web arranged plan of fire making, wood craft, bathing and singing of camp fire songs. On a whole the six hours of recreation were spent in a most profitable manner, and all are looking forward to the next outing which will be held in the first week in July. On Monday night, June 18th the first exhibition of the girls in their uniforms was held at Ames Church and a good program was rendered under the direction of Guardian, Mrs. Annie Thomas, Those who participated were: Prologue, Vaime Roberts; solo. Eleanor Johnson; recitation. Milford Goodrich, piano duet. Hazel Mitchell and Florence Neison. The program was followed by a drill. NURSES TO GRADUATE. Rev. W. J. Moore and Dr. W. F.

Sampson Brooks, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, is attending the commencement exercises at Willberforce University this week, but he will return in time for his church services tomorrow. Since coming to Baltimore, Dr. Brooks has been greeted by unusually large audience each Sunday. SPRIGGS-BICKERSON On Tuesday, June 19th, at 7 A. M., Rebecca Elizabeth, old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wan, H. Springs, and Mr. James Gibbon Springs, were quietly married in the presence of their immediate relatives and a few friends at the St. Peter Church's Catholic Church at the Iowa by J. J. Nally.

When are the Bellmen's Auxiliary are Going? Miss Edity Lynch is sick at her home on George street. The graduating class of the Maryland Normal and Industrial School at Bowie, Md., numbered fifteen, Dean Pickens, of Morgan College, who attended the expired last week stated that he experienced with the fact that there was no effort to "show off" at Bowie, but only to build solidly and firmly. Dr. Goodloe has made the wilderness to bloom. What he has done there in six years ought to justify the state in spending many times their annual expenditure on the Bowie school. S.

YOUR BACK-LOT GARDEN I've been wondering if you are still enthused over that little garden plot of yours, and if you find it as easy to attend as it was to plant, you require work, doesn't it? And often a body back aches so after pulling the weeds that insist on growing so much fuster than the vegetables in growth of all that we can so that we become discouraged and wonder it is worthwhile. There are many things to light besides weeds, as this letter from one of my readers will testify, so I will let you read it for yourself. Dear Margaret Black—Like many more good people I thought making a garden would be easy work, but I have had sasa bad luck that I am almost tempted to give up. First I planted some lettuce seeds and some peas, but it seemed that the birds would eat them as fast as they peeled above the ground and I guess I would not have had any lettuce or peas at all, if it had not been that I complained about it so loudly that an old farmer heard me, and told me to plant some more seeds and put a stick at the end of each row and stretch the string the length of the row with white rags tied on it and they would keep the birds away. It looks real funny, just like a line full of doll clothes, but it proved effective and my lettuce looks lovely and my peas are in bloom; my cucumbers came up nicely but the bugs ate them up, so I planted some more and covered them with boxes that I had tacked mosquito netting over as you suggested, and they are doing fine. Will you please tell me if it is too late to plant tomato seeds as yet, because those that I sowed were not good, as not one came up? Is it too late to plant bunch and pole beans and carrots? We live in a small town and have a nice large space for a garden, but we never made a garden, until this summer, and mother says she only knows how to raise flowers and not too much about them, and papa does not know how to plant anything. Thanking you in advance for your information, I am Dear little girl:—I am glad you have stuck to your garden. It is hard work and at times very discouraging but when things are ripe and we can pick our own vegetables, we are usually so proud of the results of our labor that we forget to think about the hard work. Everything worthwhile means hard work, and the old saying, "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," means gardening as well as everything else. It is too late to set a tomato seed, but not too late to set out tomato plants, if you can buy some. They are for sale at most green-houses, and can often be bought from farmers or people who do amateur gardening on a large scale. The safest plan is to buy the plants in the beginning, as tomato plants for early or late tomatoes should be planted in the house in March or in hot beds early in April, and then when the plants are about two inches high transplanted to pots or cans, one to each pot or can, and set in a sunny window and kept tended carefully, and set out in the open ground when all danger from frost is over. It is not too late to plant beans of any kind if you plant them immediately, bunch beans can be planted up until the last of June, and the early black wax can be planted as late as the 10th of July, as it is fit, for the use in six weeks from planting. Carrots can be planted now for fall use, as they do not mind the frost and where the winters are not very cold, can be left in the ground all winter and dug out as wanted. The season up here is short and I usually plant my cucumbers for pickling the 21st of June, but they can be planted where you are, up until the 30th of June, with good results. I hope you have success with your garden and succeed in raising all the good things you need. M. B. Pulverized sulphur dusted on plants will control mildew. Potato bugs, cabbage worms, cut worms, can be killed by spraying Paris green or arsenage of lead, the cheaper of the two, upon the leaves and stems. A tablespoonful to a gallon of water. Seldom, do insects or diseases give the gardener such trouble, but when they do he must be right on the job with his spraying before they get the leaves eaten off. The best known and most widely used mixture or spraying plants and trees is called Bordeaux mixture and can be bought at drug stores and seed houses. Explicit directions accompany every bottle or package. THINGS YOU MIGHT A tablespoonful of coffee added to gravy will make it brown immediately and without leaving any taste of the coffee. White vaseline rubbed on baby's head is excellent for promoting the growth of hair. When making apple pies sauce a few drops of lemon juice over the apples before putting on the upper crust and see how much it improves their flavor. If you have a last year's coat suit and want to change it, hunt up your old kid gloves, get some button molds the sife you wish and cover with the kid, and should the collar be too small take it off and face it all around the neck and leave it collarless; then get that old pique skirt that is too narrow and cut yourself a vestee with a large collar and a pair of broad cuffs, make plain, or if you are fond of embroidery put a spray in each corner of the collar and at the back of each cuff or rochet a edge around them of yellow and white silk or any combination you may fancy, and you will have a good looking sport coat. A man's white handkerchief makes a good looking plaited sailor collar. A POT ROAST Get one pound and a half of chuck cut thick and have it cut in pieces about two inches thick. Wipe the meat with a cloth wrung out of cold water sprinkle generously with flour, put in a tightly covered pot and cover with boiling water. Put the cover on the pot and cook in a moderate oven for two hours. Take cut and add one cup of carvings cut into small pieces, one cupful of potatoes cut into small pieces, one-fourth cupful of small onions and one teaspoonful of salt, and cook until the vegetables are tender which will take about one hour. Take one cupful of the liquor and make a sauce and serve with the roast. A FARMER'S Get a round steak cut one inch thick and pound into both sides of it all the flour it will take. This may be done with meat pounder, a potato musher or a hammer, Brown in drippings or butter or a mixture of both, then add enough boiling water or milk to cover. Cover the pan tightly so the steam will not escape, and allow the meat to simmer for two hours, or until tender. When the meat is tender it is ready to serve, as the gravy is already thickened in the pan or dish. DR. COLE LEAVES. Dr. Cole, pastor of the Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, left this week to assume charge of his new pastorate in Cambridge, Mass. His final farewell sermon was preached last Sunday. Dr. Cole, before leaving expressed his heartfelt thanks to the ministers and friends, who have assisted him in his pastorate in Baltimore. He expressed also his appreciation to the Afro-American for the help it rendered. Eight years ago Dr. Cole first took charge of the Pennsylvania Avenue Church. He served creditably two years, and then became presiding elder of this district. Last year the bishop sent him here again, and during the past year he raised $2,540 for the work of the church: Baltimore are sorry to see him go.

Tonoline A Beauty Aid Announces Specialist 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 membrane, liver ailments and impurities of the blood—and quickly restores proper action. Tonoline is being explained to many people daily at the Read Drug and Chemical Co., Howard and Lexington Sts., Balto, 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. FREE TONOLINE COUPON.

EVENTS IN BALTIMORE AND VICINITY REV JUNIUS GRAY AND HIS GOSPEL CAR HOLY BIBLE Dr. Junius Gray with his pulpit on wheels going through the allies, lanes, in the highways and hedges, carrying the Gospel. This is the best way to reach the non-going church class of people. Our Commission is to go. We do not mean to say that the older men in the ministry are not able to speak out in the open air as the younger men are no excuse for the young men. Christ did the greater portion of his preaching on the lakes, roads, at wells and on mounts. Now let us as young men go and do likewise. Dr. Gray will preach Saturday night at 8:30 at Pennsylvania avenue and Laureens street. Advertisement. PASSING OF FORMER Pedestrians on St. Paul street, north of Saratoga, and vicinity, are struck these days by the changed aspect of things. The plan of the city to clear the east side of St. Paul street out to Centre and thence back along the west side of St. Paul street, carriages with it the destruction of properties well known to Baltimoreans. The Sun block of St. Paul street was a sort of aristocratic neighborhood for colored people over a quarter of a century ago. There lived the Jakes and other prominent families. Today its aristocratic past is but a memory. The tearing down of St. Paul street property meant the elimination of the old Monumental Assembly Rooms, and the former home of James W. Hughes and the caterer. At St. Paul and Pleasant streets, a lot marks the site of the old Pythian Castle. St. Elizabeth's Asylum still stands, but will be dismantled this summer. With a remodeled front, the Afro-American Building, at 307 St. Paul street, awaits the coming of the wrecker, while the former home of the True Reformers across the street, is a reminder of the heyday of prosperity or that order. At the northwest corner of Stratford and St. Paul streets stands the remodeled building, for many years the home of the old Baltimore Normal School. When one looks at the corner diagonally across the street the old school property one's mind instantly turns to John R. Keene, whose pies, baked buns and other good things looked equal favor with students of the Colored High and Grammar School and the Polytechnic Institute. It shows up Courtland street will show the Masonic Temple in the same old quarters of many years ago. Bethel A. M. E. Church, Union Baptist Church and the great majority of the Old Fellows have secured homes up town, but the Masons and the Nazarites are still landmarks in the downtown section. It may be said for the Nazarites, however, that they have a modern building and are located at the junction of several car lines. MITE SOCIETY MEETS The quarterly meeting of the Baltimore Conference branch of the Women's Mite Missionary Society was held at St. John's A. M. E. Church Thursday of last week. Mrs. C. J. Flags, of Frederick, Md., president, addresses were delivered by Mrs. J. Albert Johnson, of Philadelphia, the monetary president; Mrs. Margaret P. Hill, Mrs. M. I. Throckmorton, Mrs. Mary F. Handy, Mrs. Annie E. Waddleton and others. NAZARITES IN SESSION. The regular June meeting of the grand Pasture of the Order of Nachirtes was held Tuesday night, at which time reports were received from all the departments of the order. JOB'S HOLD EXTRA SESSION An extra session of the Maryland Grand Council of Brothers and Sisters of Job was held at Ashbury Hall, Friday evening, June 22nd. W. H. Saunders is grand master of the order and Charles Folkes is the secretary. CHILDREN'S DAY AT MACEDONIA Special Children's Day exercises at Macedonia Baptist Church attracted a large congregation last Sunday night at which time a varied and interesting program was rendered.

Watty was in Salisbury this week looking after the interest of the Pythians in that section. He was tendered a banquet by the members of Liberty Lodge on Wednesday night. Mr. W. J. Simmons of 1725 McCulloh street is ill at the Mercy Hospital. Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Whittington, of Division street have left the city for Maine where they will spend the summer.

Jordan, of Philadelphia, foreign mission secretary of the National Baptist Convention, was here a few days ago. Rev. Marion F. Sydes, former pastor of Waters A. M. E. Church, this city, has been made presiding elder of the Boston district of the New England Conference. Rev. E. W. Arnett and Rev. M. W. Thornton, both of the same conference, will be at Newport, R. I., and Charles Street A. M. E. Church, Boston, respectively, for the ensuing year. Misses Janie and Emma Sheppard of Meyersdale, Pa., visited their sister, Miss Kate Sheppard, in the city last week. George Wm. Cook, or Washington, declares that of the hundreds of workingmen he interviewed on their way to the North, nor one was in need of financial assistance.

The deceased was for many years, messenger to the Secretary of the Navy, George M. and James E. Atkinson, of this city, are his nephews. TRAINING SCHOOL SENDS OUT 44 Simplicity was the keynote of the commencement exercises of the Training School held at the Lyric on Tuesday evening. The thirty-three young women graduates wore very simple gowns, which they had made for the occasion.
