THE AFRO AMERICAN Let the Afro follow you on your Vacation It costs you not a cent extra. TURNER G. McGUYN. Esq. JOSIAH DIGGS. OFFICERS TRAINING CAMP SOON TO BE CLOSED Battalions Have To Defend --Themselves From "Night Attacks" From The Fort Desmones, Iowa, August 24— Unofficial reports are out to the effect that within the next two weeks the Seventeenth Provisional Training Camp will come to a close. The candidates in training are spending a good deal of time at the war game, court martial proceedings, battle-fire training and drill from company to regimental. During the week each battalion camped out over night, somewhere within a radius of five miles of the fort. Each had to defend itself from a night attack. This meant that all the men had to take their turn at guard duty at any time and place as long as the battalion camped out. SEEING THINGS IN DARK. Ordinarily seeing in the dark is very difficult but rookies on guard in the dark can do more seeing—false alarms—than at any other time. Innocent bushes, cows, or horses are turned into the enemy, by overzealous eyes; and some, too, are like the rabbit—when the bush shakes, they're gone—into mind fancies. After you come off guard you can put up your shelter tent in order to go to "sleep," if you care to, or you can do as the rest do and make a bed of it and your raincoat. Then use your blanket for cover. If a snake crawls across your foot while you snooke, as actually happened, one instance, just keep on snoozing, as in a few minutes the snake will be sleeping too. Outside of snakes, mosquitoes and dew—which in the East we call rain—you may sleep well if you try hard. You can recognize the Great Bear, the Little Bear, Cosmopeide or the Pleiades, etc., you may keep awake for a few minutes; erse the great confusion of stars accelerates your departure to slumberland. On rising in the morning, it is always safe to call "help." Then you may feel somewhat safe in trying to rise with your stiff joints and drawn muscles. You have already been given your rations—some sheed bacon, hard tack, coffee, sugar, salt and pepper. Now use your own utensils and cook your own breakfast. As most of the rookies have had some experience with cooking, since they were three years of age, the breakfast is a suc- BALLOU NOW BRIGADIER. BALLOU NO. 11 of the instructors here at the camp have been promoted. During the week the War Department announced that the Colonel C. C. Bailou, commanding the Fort Des Moines Training Camp had been promoted to a brigadier generalship. Colonel Bailou has come out in a press article praising the general fitness of Negro soldiers to read and command men in the U. S. Army. "Let anyone who is skeptical as to the colored man's ability as a soldier, visit Fort Des Moines," he wrote. DISTINGUISHED MEN SPEAK... Last Sunday the candidates were addressed by Principal Robert Russa Moton, of Tuskegee Institute. Dr Moton spoke to the men on the subject of "Freedom." When the keggeean announced his topic he took the rookies by surprise; and they thought he was going to "strike out" in the light of recent events. But the successor to Booker T. Washington kept along the beaten path. Rev. Emory B. Smith, pastor of Lincoln Memorial Congregational Church, Washington, D.C., conducted services for the men at the Army Y. At a night. Although it was Sunday night, the men fairly filled the tent to hear him. He plans to remain with the embryo officers for about ten days. There will be no second training camp for colored officers, announced the Central Department Headquarters recently in a message to Col Ballou. There had been many rumors to the effect that a second camp was contemplated and Col Ballou wired to headquarters regarding it. The government plans to establish a large hospital base at the fort. Since the Third Iowa Regimental Band was transferred from the fort, the evening ceremony of lowering the flag—retreat—is carried out to music provided by the men singing "The Star Spangled Banner" and it can easily be heard all over the big parade grounds. FIRE HERO Theodore Spencer, member of the First Separate Company and son of the Company's Captain, with the aid of Theodore Riley, (white) rescued Nora T. Lally, (white) and her daughter from the fire that destroyed the Lally home at 1028 Linde avenue last Thursday. Courtesy of Baltimore News NO COLORED CANTONMENT. Washington, August 24—Reversing its former decision, the War Department has decided not to send the draft units to a colored cantonment. Over the protest of the Governor of South Carolina, who attempted to avert this "disaster," colored troops will be trained with the units in which they find themselves. Maryland National Guard and Draft units will train with the white troops of this state. New York, August 23.—"Billy Boy," a son written in honor of Col. William B. Hayward, commander of the Fifteenth New York Regiment, is being sung and whistled all over the State. The music is by C. Lucky Roberts, a young composer of the race, and the words by Lester A. Walton. More than 3,000 colored and white people arose and sang The Star Spangled Banner at the musical festival given in Atlanta for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. of that city, on Tuesday evening of last week. A fine musical program was rendered, with Miss Violet Thomas, Miss Jessie Holmes, Fred Harreld, Kemper Harreld and Miss Florence Harreld, the leading participants. General interest is being manifested in the national race congress to consider mob violence and other grievances against the United States that will be held in Mother Zion Church, New York city, September 18, 19, and 00. Byron Gunner, of Hillburn, N. Y., is president, arn W. Monroe Trotter, of 34 Cornhill, Boston, secretary. The Board of Education of Waukeean, Ill., will be asked to place books by colored authors in the libraries of the public schools of that place. PRINCE GEORGES SCHOOLS SCORED Prince Georges County Schools, while not the worst in the state, are vastly in need of extension and reorganization according to Dr. Jones, the government expert, whose report covers fully all the schools in the state. The summary for Prince Georges County is as follows: Population 1910, white 24,643, colored 17,493. Children 6 to 14 years of age, 1910, white, 4,848, colored 2,862. Teachers' salaries in public schools 1911-12, white, $57,198, colored, $6,774. Teachers' salaries per child 6-14 in county, white, $11.80, colored, $2.37. Percentage illiterate, 1910, colored 30.5 per cent, white 3.5 per cent. Already colored folk are taxed at the same rate as the whites in the county, five times as much is spent on the education of the white as on that of the colored pupil. The number of teachers is 40 in colored schools and 135 in white schools. The average attendance is 3,413 white and 1,217 colored pupils. These statistics, says Dr. Jones indicate the need of increased school facilities. The work of the elementary schools should be extended and strengthened. Speaking of the work at Bovie, where the Maryland State Normal School is carrying on the secondary work of the State under the direction of Principal S. S. Goodloe, Dr. Jones said that the 19 boys devote much of their time to farm labor, but the work is of very little educational value. The small attendance of only 50 boys and girls is said to be due to the inadequate dormitory facilities, and is not proportionate to the value of the income and the plant Recommendations for bringing this school up to the proper level include the increasing of dormitory facilities, adopting the course of study to the preparation of teachers for rural districts; conducting the boarding department; and forming as departments of the school and applying the proceeds to its support and installing a system of accounting with annual auditing by an accredited accountant. THE CROOME SCHOOL The Croome Settlement School, which is owned and controlled by Miss Susie Wills, white, and taught by a well trained colored woman, has 28 pupils below the seventh grade. The teacher and her family live in the frame school, and the yearly income of $1200 is raised by donations. Dr. Jones recommends that the school be turned over to the public authorities, and the vacant space around the building be used to teach gardening, JOHN HENRY SMITH DIES Well Known Citizen Passes Away After a Long Illness. John Henry Smith, one of the best known men in the state, died at his home, 2143 Druid Hill avenue, Friday evening of last week, following a long illness. The deceased was born in Balto, Md., $0 years ago, but had resided here practically all of his life.

Locks, Causman Galines, John Henry Butler, J. Murray Ralph, Jacob Seaton, Isaac Myers and Dr. H. J. Brown. Dr. Brown is the only one of the group now living.

Mr. Eugene Kinnicle Jones, the executive secretary of the League, has been in touch with several local welfare workers and settled upon October 1st, as a tentative date to come to the city and talk over the situation. It is planned to have a meeting of all the white and colored people interested in charity work on that date to consider the advisability of opening a branch here. Effort will be made thru the distribution of literature to get every charity worker in the city interested in the project. Bishop Hurst at Commencement "If Baltimore had not hissed Thrift, when he insulted Mrs. Terrell at the High School Commencement last June, Georgia would have been able to give her lessons in good manners." said Miss Madre Penn, a Y. M., worker, who passed on the city recently from New York; on her way to take charge of a new branch in a South Carolina "At the Commencement of Georgia State College, Bishop Hurst took the opportunity to state the benefit of a large number of white "friends" present, why the colored people were leaving for the North He told of the general dissatisfaction, and how the migration would continue until wrongs were righted or the South without colored people." "A white Southerner Judge Meldrim, could hardly keep still during the address, and did everything he could to let the audience know that he dissapproved of such a manly talk. To cap the climax, he stuck a cigar in his mouth, and reared back in his chair__on the Commencement platform." "When a hearty apptause greeted the end of the Bishop's address, the Judge could stand it no longer. He squared off and proceeds to give the audience in general and the Bishop in particular a piece of his mind. 'Go on up North, and starve,' he roared, 'and when you get ready to come back to your Southern friends, you will find we have put Japanese workmen in your places.'" "It was a serious, moment, but this last was too much for the visibilities of the audience, and they he, hea, heabed, and hissed in quite a creditable manner until the Judge quit speaking in a very uncomfortable angry frame of mind. "Major R. R. Wright, principal of the College, who saw contributions from the wealthy white melting away on account of this occasion, turned pale in his chair, and afterwards allowed Bishop Hurst to leave the campus of the college without escort." VOLUNTEERS WANTED FOR CANNERIES The labor shortage throughout the state has caused the cal lifer volunteer workers n the canneries.

BISHOP JOHNSON IN WESTERN MARYLAND Makes Tour of Hagerstown Districts In Company with Presiding Elder Norris. Ez. Rev. J. Albert Johnson, D. D. L. L. D., made a special visit to the Haggestown District of the Baltimore Annual Conference. The Bishop with Freshling Elder, J. W. Norcus, traveled all through the western part of the District. Leaving Baltimore on Friday 3 a.m., on that train by way of Washington, D. C. over the S. & O. E. R. for Cumberland, Md., they arrived 2 p.m. An auto was waiting at the station and they soon found themselves in the parsonage of Rev. F. S. Dennis. Pastor, Dennis, with a committee of ladies of the church met the Bishop at the parsonage door and gave him a cordial welcome. They had a splendid dinner spread with everything suitable. Bishop Johnson soon found out that he was in the home of a very congenial pastor. Mrs. Dennis is one of the most affable ladies in Cumberland and a noted entertainer. Saturday, p.m. they left for Phnom Penh eastport and Fresherie. The Bishop and Presiding Elder remained over night in the home of Brother Farnax and were splendidly entertained. Bishop Johnson generalized an able sermon in Westernport A. M. E. Church on Sunday 11 a.m. then returned to Cumberland in the afternoon to rest. 1 p.m. the Bishop generalized of his great sermons in Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, Cumberland. Elder Dennis raised that night three handwritten and seventy dollars on the table. There were some accessions to the church. The people evidenced their appreciation of the Bishop's visit. He lectured to a good house on Monday night. On Tuesday 1 p.m. he returned to Frostburg to lecture. Rev. A. D. Holder is pastor of the Frostburg Circuit. He returned to Cumberland the same night. While in Cumberland Dr. Sparks gave the Bishop and P. E. an auto ride of twenty miles through the Cumberland Mountains. The Bishop lectured on South Africa and its peoples. He spoke over an hour and stopped when the people wanted to hear more Wednesday 1:37 P.M. M. they left for Hancock where Rev. J. R. Nelson is Pastor. He met them at the station and took them to his beautiful home high on the hill. The Bishop and P. E. were grandly entertained. On Thursday 4:04 a.m. they left Hancock for Bronswick. Md. Rev. Wm. Chew. Pastor. He met them with an auto and they were soon in Petersville three miles away and were entertained in the beautiful country home of Rev. D. G. Hill. Mrs. Hill received the Bishop and P. E. kindly. They soon were made to feel that they were in a Methodist preacher's home. The Bishop arranged to stop off there to see Bishop John Hurst and Mrs. Hurst who were stopping with Mrs. Hill. He also desired to see the home of Dr. Hill. Mrs. Margaret Peek Hill and her cultured daughters are noted entertainers. At 4 p.m. the Bishop, P. E. and Pastor left for Bronswick just three miles away where the Bishop lectured and entertained in auto to Dr. Hill where he remained overnight. Friday they left 10 a.m. for Delila, Md. Rev. J. H. Pastor. He met them at the station. He put the party in an auto and they were soon in Greenfield or Delila, where the Stewartesses had prepared a big country dinner. After dinner the Bishop lectured to a good house notwithstanding it was on Friday noon and in a busy season. The people were there. Everybody in this church is a taxpayer. Six very large farms are owned by members of this church. They were pleased to have a Bishop visit them and to tell them something about Africa Fatherland and its peoples. At 4 p.m. they left in auto for Bartonsville just fifteen miles away. They passed through Frederick City on their way and stopped a few minutes at the parsonage of Dr. L. S. Flagg. They went on to Bartonsville and thence to Mt. Pleasant where the Bishop lectured and returned in auto to Frederick that night where he remained and was splendidly entertained by Dr. and Mrs. Flagg. Elder Dutton is doing excellent work. He has built a new church and is preparing to renovate two others. At Greenfield they heard the churchbell ring some time before they reached the church.

The Cumberland ladies had three large cakes representing Bishop, Presiding Elden, and Pastor. At Brunswick, Mrs Holland associated with Mrs. James, Mrs. Bell and others entertained the Bishop.

Much has been the spouting occasioned by the recent order of the Health Department that every household be provided with a covered garbage can. Some people consider this an instruction into their exercise of personal liberty of action; others imagine it a system of graft by which somebody may fatten on the sly, on a large scale, by an increased sale of garbage cans, others still consider it an infliction of unnecessary hardship upon the poor, that inevitable, if not "down-rodden", factor of a community. And thus, to cope with the effect, by way of evasion, accuses of all sorts are drummed-up by housekeepers, some yarning that all the garbage in the house is burned as fast as made; others showing that an old soap box with a good heavy lid admits of no files; and still, the few, but intrepid variety, step forward and state emphatically that they are not going to have any garbage can, only to be made to appear before the police magistrate who, after a few words of admonition, demands a collateral of £2.45 as pledge of good faith that the obstreperous matron will go home and get a garbage can of the sort demanded by law or be further. It is in view of these facts, the unassessed with a larger see than £2.45, wisdom of disobeying or evading the law, and the saving grace of compliance with it that have occasioned this article on the files as carriers of diseases. THE FLY PROBLEM In the dy we have an insect which has always been an abiding associate of mankind the world over, in all cities, under all circumstances and conditions, in sickness and in health until separated by death. Until comparatively recently, very little has been done by way of making a careful study of the house dy, the commonest of insects. So serious has its relation to the health of the community that it is now one of the most serious objects of attention by the supervisors of health of all up-to-date cities. As an illustration of the popular, not merely scientific, feeling against the dy it may be interesting to note that a mayor of one of the cities of the United States was elected almost solely on the strong stand he had taken in advocating anti-dy measures. BREEDING HABITS OF FLIES A most remarkable fact about the house fly is its ability to breed rapidly. This may be accounted for by the prevalence of substances in which the maggot, the underdeveloped fly, grows and the short time required for the fly to develop from egg to a full-grown fly. Wherever there is dirt, garbage, dung, etc. the fly has an excellent opportunity to multiply. Furnished with hot weather and moisture, the fly breeds most rapidly. Depositories of horse manures and stables are favorite breeding places. But other recognized breeding grounds are waste matter from human bodies, whether deposited in lattices or isolated places; cesspools; animal substances, such as untreated hides, hair, meat, etc. ditty rubbish; rotten vegetables; rinds of watermelon and cannoli; decaying fruits and foodstuffs; milk; spittoons. Flies normally begin to breed in June and July and continue to October. The breeding ductules with the weather...that is to say, hot weather increases the rapidity of breeding and cool weather lessens it. A single day is capable of depositing from 100 to 150 eggs at one time and may do so about half-a-dozen or more times during its lifetime. The length of time spent from egg to the perfect fly depends upon how warm the weather is. Given a temperature of 45 to 95 the maggot may be full-grown in five days. Under suitable temperature and sufficient moist food, three weeks is sufficient for a new generation to develop from egg to maturity and to begin egg-laying. With the above facts, though briefly stated, one may get an idea of the secret of the enormous increase of dies in hot days. And the reason why we do not see "baby flies" about is because dies emerge from the pupal state full-grown. Just as the butterfly evolves from the caterpillar, ELLICOTT CITY HAPPENINGS Elliott City, Md. August 23. There will be a candle rally at St. Luke's A. M. E. Church.

The President is urged to make lawlessness a national issue, to ask Congress for power to prevent disturbance during the continuance of the war, or to send a "stirring message" to Congress calling attention to the lawlessness evil. As freely as Congress granted war credits, compulsory service, 8-hour day for railroads, or food administration, Mr. Miller believes Congress will grantt Mr. Wilson any additional authority necessary to make America safe. Mr. Miller says that nothing else will satisfy colored people. The protest parade in New York and the 6 o'clock prayer meetings in Washington where weekly "2000 humble women snatch the early hours of the morning before going to their daily tasks to resort to the house of prayer," evidence not wild hysterics of the hour, but a determined purpose. "The weaker sex of the weaker race" are on their knees, and it may be that through them the world will come to realize the power of the Almighty. While the "professed followers of the Meek and Lowly One" are putting their trust in the aeroplane and the submarine, these people place their hope in God. They are not to be taken lightly, not to be ignored for "God uses the humber things of life to confound the mighty. other things of life to co-ordinate with Kelly Miller's open letter puts it squirrely up to the President. In no lame, halting way, he says what radical speakers have been saying for the past decade. No white man is good enough to govern a Negro. World Democracy that does not include the Negro without reservation is a failure and a mockery. If the White House has imagined that the dissatisfaction now being expressedaction now being expressed over the treatment of colored people is the work of radicals, perhaps it will wake up to the danger and its mistake before it is too late. Kelly Miller represents that conservative opinion between the radicalism of W. M. Trotter and the reactionary policy of Booker T. Washington. His letter marks a notable departure from his views expressed at the beginning of the war. If we read aright, the new doctrine is "Democratic America first, Mr. President." More than the outbreaks of mob violence in Memphis and East St. Louis, more than the establishment of a Jim Crow Camp in Des Moines or discrimination in the army and navy, more than the retirement of Colonel Young, whether just or unjust, more than all the burden of oppression that the colored people have had to bear in recent years, the weight of the public indifference of Woodrow Wilson to the welfare of the race has been the most galling to bear. The directing of the attention of the President to the "Disgrace of Democracy" at a time when the country is in an avowed struggle to make this form of government world-wide, is the best indication that even conservative thinkers like Kelly Miller, who criticizes our government as a "lazy, insecure failure," are willing to suffer no longer in silence. A PASTORAL RECEPTION Bennings, D. C., August 20—A grand Pastoral Reception was given at Ward A. M. E. Church, Wednesday evening, August 15, in honor of Rev. J. H. Robinson. Among those present were Rev. Virgil Carter, of Jones, E. Church Bennings, of Q. W. Scott, Rev. K. A. Hart, Rev. E. F. Myers and Rev. J. C. Gutheridge. A short program was rendered which consisted of chorus by Ward A. M. E. Choir; prayer by Rev. R. A. Hart; romaries by Rev. T. Queen, Rev. E. F. Myers, J. H. Robinson; instrumental solo by Mrs. Rosie Queen; solo by Rev. J. J. Hawkins, after which a supper was served. The table was beautifully decorated with flowers. The reception was given under the management of B. W. Willis, Club of Bennings, D. C. E. Willis, Clark, president, Lella Hawkins, secretary, Mrs. Mary L. Dent secretary, Mr. George Chase, general manager, Rev. J. J. Hawkins, chapel. These continuous outbreaks of mob violence and massacre Mr. Miller, are only the outgrowth of the public disaster in which the race is held. The evil is so widespread that the only remedy lies in the hands of the national government. The congressional resolutions looking to the investigation of the outrage in St. Louis are sad to be favored by the President but Mr. Miller does not expect any additional comprehensive information will result. Since East St. Louis there have already been prchings in Georgia, Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Montana. Every intelligent person knows as much about the essential cause of these conflicts as he will after an investigation of the outrage in St. Louis are said to be favored by the President but a public declaration and determination on the part of the President, looking for the people, to put an end to lawlessness wherever found. BETKEL WANTS $2,000. "I know that it has been steadily maintained that the Federal Government has no authority over lynchings and local race conflict. It is not a political contention. This view was maintained by the administrators of Harrison, Cleveland, Roosevelt and Taft. Indeed, President Cleveland had a great American democrat, came nearer recognizing his responsibility in such matters than any other. He took his time or since. During the administration, President McKinley, an atrocious riot occurred in Wilmington, N. C., the city in which you spent your boyhood and of a minister of the gospel. Scores of innocence were killed and hundreds were driven from the city to interfere. But it was maintained that the President had no authority to interfere. A horrible lynching took place at Virginia, a few miles from the White House, and yet it was looked upon as purely a matter of which the President might possibly have observed through his glasses. And yet it was looked upon as purely a matter of which the Federal Government had no authority nor concern. You recall the atrocities of riots in Athens, a city in which you spent your young manhood as a practitioner of law. But here again Will Raise Amount Sunday to Secure Flight Thousand Dollars Becthel A. M. E. Church will hold a rally for two thousand dollars Sunday, and general interest is being manifested. A little over a month ago the congregation raised $5,500 in a big effort. It was then a group of whites offered $8,000 if $2,000 more were secured in thirty days. The entire sum will be used in reducing the debt of $75,000 hanging over the congregation, thus saving annual interest charges. Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, pastor of the church, is optimistic over the prospects. “I believe we will get the $2,000 needed this Sunday,” he said. “The people have just raised $5,000 in a hard campaign, they have fallen in line cheerfully with the hustling for $2,000, the prospect of an additional even President Roosevelt could be the Southern, have been guilty. Like slavery the evil tendency extends itself to overcome the good. Unless lawlessness is soon stamped out by the Presi- dent, speaking for the people, "it is easy to prophesy that the Negro will yet be lynched not only in the shadow of Bunker Hill monument but on the campus of your beloved Prince William." As the nation could not exist half slave and half free under Abraham Lincoln, so it cannot continue half law abiding and half lawless under Andrew Wilson." So general has lynching be- come—3,000 lynchings in the last 30 years—that it may be termed a nation- al "discourse of "American Democracy." "I am deeply grateful to my own congregation, as well as to the ministers and laymen of other congregations and denominations for what they have done for Ecclesi Church. It is our hope that we may reciprocate what has been so generously done for Baltimore's oldest congregation." al institution, to the eternal "destitute of the human." Sheer "mocery, Mr. Miller calls it, for the Negro who is bruised and burned in all parts of the country and flees to the national government for asylum, to be denied relief on the ground of doubtful jurisdiction. The black man wants justice and not a theory of government. The President has sounded the trumpet of democracy they all the earth, but you add nothing to the civilization of the world nor to the culture of the human by the technical changes in the form of government.

Lest there be some to lay the blame on the Negro, Mr. Miller reminds the President that England has come in contact with weaker peoples all over the world, and the law and order prevails in the great British Empire. In the West India the Negroes outnumber the whites 20 to 1, and there is no rape and lynching there to talk about. Brazil offers a more complex racial situation, but peace and good will prevail. Even Belgium was forced to reform its severe treatment of Africans by the lightened sentiment of other nations.

"The East St. Louis outbreak convinces the nation, as it has never been before, that the time for action has come. The press is not content with a single editorial abolition, but by repeated utterance insists that the nation shall deal with its most malignana domestic evil. Reproach is cast upon your contention for the democratisation of the world, in face of its lamentable failure. Ex-President Roosevelt, who is the greatest living voice in crying aloud for individual and national righteousness, is openly proclaimed, in dramatic declaration, that these breaks make our moral propaganda for the liberation of man but a delusion and a snare.

The purpose of the present day statesman might not be to admit the Negro into the Democracy preached by the President on the basis of equality, but in spite of this there is no other goal of human democracy. A democracy of race or class, says Mr. Miller, is "no democracy at all." The Negro will endure until these "high sounding phrases" have come to a reality. Any other class of people under the stress and the colored people suffer, would like Job's wife curse and die." The Negro will never curse God nor die, but stand and live." "STAND BY THE NEGRO?" MEN'S SEC. OF M. M. Bellwood, Enrolds, of Alabama, was the guest of his sister, Matilda Webster of Nolan street last week. Thou had not seen each other for 64 years. In the present crisis, Mr. Miller states that the Negro will stand by the President and asks the President will he stand by the Negro? President and asks the President will be stand by the Reg. As a student of public questions, I have carefully watched your attitude on the race problem. You have presented a warm aloofness from the tangled issues of this problem. In searching your writings one finds the one reference to this troubled phase of American life. It seems that you regard it as a regrettable social malady, to be treated with cautious and calculated neglect. There is obvious trouble, however, a passive solicitude. You have kept the very serious problem in the back part of your mind. Your letter to Bishop Walters during your first campaign for the Presidency, expressing a generous concern for the welfare of the race, though of a general and passive character, caused many Negroes to give you their political support. Under the stress and strain of other pressing issues and the partisan demands of your political supporters you have not yet translated this passive purpose into positive performance. There is no further something of consolation in the fact that while during your entire career you have never done anything Got the great original poem on "Colored Heroes That Lost Their Lives."

Wet Wash Laundry Business SCIENTIFIC SERVICE. Not more than 25 years have elicited since the Negro was named nation's barber, and he has been shop-dots the main thoroughfares of our principal cities. His white brother, ever on the lookout for profitable fields for exploitation, and with his slogan "must be a barber," discovered "barbering" was a lucrative undertaking. Since, the white "tensorial artist," has been forcing the "Negro barber," into the background and "tensorial parrot," have been blossoming out of the white while the Negro "barber-shop" has been moving into the side streets and into the alleys. And, it is all because 'the Negro, who books upon "service," as a rite and budge of slavery, has permitted his viewpoint to be beyond the possibleities of saving lives with which "service" is present. But to the white man, service holds no traditional or fancied disadvantages. Every opportunity to serve, is to him a chance to serve better and more scientifically than his predecessors in that field, by giving sting service and service-giving devices. Whatever sting service may hold for him, he proceeds to extract by applying science, and by raising that field into which he enters to the dignity of a profession. THE NATION'S WEEKLY WASHING The Negro woman has been the "national wash-woman," and still continues to hold a place in the American Family's weekly life. It is true, even in the face of the rapid method of "growing washings,"—the laundry That the Negro race has derived untold benefit from the countless thousands of washings by those hard-working women, the women an educator, for many of them have been educated through the toil of a mother who "took in washings." Many an imposing church edifice has been founded upon the fruits of the process, the progeny of companies that have savings banks which the Negro hoists had their beginning in the thrifty wash-woman's hard-earned dollars; and a wash-woman recently made the toil of a thousand to 10,000 to a woman being raised by one of our foremost institutions of learning. But again, the insecurity of the white man is being applied to this field, and the pace is about to be deprived of revenue by the machinery and methods have been deloled to turn out the "wet washing" for those American families who cannot afford to pay the prices charged by the "resourful" hundries that seek to serve them.

Her funeral was held last Friday, August 13th, from her late residence, 30 W. Ostend street. Rev. Charles E. Stewart, pastor of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church, officiated. CARDS OF THANKS I wish to thank the many friends of my mother, Mrs. Emily Boyer, as well as the Woman's Relief Corps, for kindness during her illness and for floral tributes. (Mrs.) Emma Jennings. The family of the late Westbrook E. Richardson wishes to thank the many friends for expressions of sympathy following his sudden death and for floral tokens. The family of the late John Henry Smith wishes to thank many friends for their expressions of sorrow and for the numerous and handsome floral tributes at his funeral. Personal and local items received in this office before Wednesday noon will be published without charge. Workers in Camp Meade will be Protected For the benefit of interested persons, who desire to know whether colored girls working at the new laundry to be established at Camp Meade, near Admiral, Md., will be surrounded by every necessary protection, the following facts are stated: FOR SALE. 2-story, 2000 block Division street. Ground rent $60. 3-story, 1400 block Myrtle avenue. G.R. $90. Price $1650. 3-story, 1000 block Argyle avenue. G. R. $65. Price, $1400. 3 3-story houses in 600 block Mul- berry St. G.R. $13.00. Price $1,000 THE GROSS GRANT REAL ESTATE COMPANY 2031 DIVISION STREET. The plan is to have laundry employees leave the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Station, Liberty St., near Park Ave., on SPECIAL LAUNDRY CARS at 7 o'clock in the morning. This will put them on the camp site at 7:35. The distance from the car to the laundry entrance is hardly more than 25 yards. Work will cease at 5:30, and the employees will leave again on SPECIAL CARS at 5:35, arriving at the starting point at 6:00 o'clock. Laundry employees will be permitted only on such portion of the cantonment as is occupied by the laundry and its grounds, and on no condition will be allowed outside. The plant will be patrolled by sentinels, and under strict government supervision. The fact that we have given the government a large bond should prove conclusively the necessity of employing the highest type of girls as workers. Unreliable persons are absolutely valueless. In her youth, like a bud in its fragrance and bloom. Death bore her away to the sad silent tomb. And left us in sorrow, in grief and in tears. That cannot be effaced by the passage of years. Sleep on, dear beloved, our journey's not long. When we meet you in Heaven in triumphant song. And happy we'll be in that harbor of rest. Safe in Jesus and all in the realm of blest. By her sister, Mary E. Wilson, 437 E. Penna avenue, Towson, Md. The first and largest building on the cantonment approaching from Baltimore is the Camp Meade Laundry, which covers an acre of ground, and has light and ventilation from four sides. A rest room will be provided. Girls will bring their lunches, but may obtain hot tea, coffee, etc., at the lunch counter. Interested welfare workers are invited and will be urged to inspect the premises and conditions of work. The above facts are sufficient assurance of our intention to employ the best class of workers available, and to protect them in every necessary way. Very truly yours HENRY S. HORKHEIMER, Camp Meade Laundry. YOUR THIRD CALL FOR THE SUMMER AT GREENWOOD ELECTRIC PARK WINTERS AVENUE, CATONSVILLE THURSDAY, AUGUST 30th, 1917 From 2 p. m. to 12 o'clock midnight.

Mrs, Shaw ‘ells of tne New Govern- ment Way of Canning Tomatoes CANNED TOMATOES Blanch the tomatoes in boiling water: for two minutes then dip in cold water. Remove the skins, pack in hot -steriliaed jars, add one tea- spoon full of salt, to each quart-jar partly seal jars then process for twen- ty minutes. Remove from the water and seal. A piece of cheese cloth is.very con- venient to use when blanching vege- tables. Put the vegetables in the cloth and immerse. this in boiling water, At the end of the’ blanching period remove the vegetables in the cloth and immerse in cold ‘water. There are several reasons for blanching and cold dipping. First it sets the color by coagulating the color- ing matter and making it harder tc dissolve during'the sterilization period Second it makes the vegetables easict to handle and to pack in the Jars ‘Third, it preserves the mineral matter and yolitile oils for which vegetable: are very valuable.

I have used the M. K. I. Hair Pomade almost two years. IT IS THE BEST I EVER USED. It has made my HAIR GROW, keeps my SCALP in SPLENDID CONDITION, and made my hair wavy and glossy. In fact, I never had so much hair in my life as I have now, owing to the M. K. I. Pomade. I shall never be without a box in the house. Yours truly SALLIE ROBINSON, DRUZD HILL AVENUE BALTIMORE, MD. A BALTIMORE PRODUCT. AGENTS WANTED A Few Notes About the M. K. I. HAIR POMADE There is no reason on earth why a Colored Person should not have a beautiful head of HAIR, good EYE-BROWS and LONG LASHES. All they need is a LITTLE CARE. No one is more able to take a little trouble than Colored People who wish to raise themselves above the lower type of their race. What is more beautiful than a raven black head of hair, glossy and wavy, known only to the colored race and people of the brunette type. To keep the Scalp in good condition, it must be kept CLEAN, free from DANDRUFF, SOURF and all other irritations of the Scalp. This can be done by using the M. K. I. HAIR POMADE and the M. K. I. POMADE massaging it well into the scalp, with the M..K. I..SHAMPOO. Dry with hot toes and apply the MI K. I. POMADE, massaging it well into the scalp. This should be kept up until the Scalp is in the well condition, which you will find in a very tight fit for two or three weeks, massaging it well into the Scalp; then two or three times a week will keep the Hair in splendid condition. The kink will disappear and the HAIR will be SOFT, GLOSSY and WAVY. Should you want to make the EXTRA STRAIGHT, use the Electric Comb and comb once each week. The best and only way. Comb is to have the head clean. Then rub the M. K. I. HAIR POMADE into the Scalp, then take the Comb and comb from the roots to the end of the Tressuring Iron two or three times. Great care should be taken not to have the Iron too hot. Always try it on a piece of newspaper. It it browns the paper, it will burn the hair. The M. K. I. HAIR POMADE is highly recommended as a hair grower and used in connection with the M. K. I. SHAMPOO is the best known remedy for removing dandruff. The little glands or follicles from which the hair springs are imbedded in the skin and draw their life and nourishment from it. On either side of each hair follicle are tiny glands which discharge upon the surface of the hair an oily secretion called sebum. It is natural oil of the scalp. When the discharge of sebum becomes excessive, it clogs the pores, puts the hair glands, dyes on the scalp and sheds the fine scales known as Dandruff. The hair begins to fall out and in many cases causes baldness. 6 6 When the M. K. I. SHAMPOO is used in connection with the M. K. I. POMADE and applied to the scalp in a manner as above described, it removes the dandruff, softens and expels the secretion in the pores and supplies the off needed to keep the scalp in a healthy condition. The M. K. I. HAIR POMADE not only makes the hair grow, but will make the eyebrows and eye-lashes grow. TRY IT and prove for yourself. IT HAS NEVER BEEN KNOWN TO FAIL. To make the eye-brows and eye-lashes grow apply with an Artist Camel hair brush a little of the M. K. I. HAIR POMADE each night until the desired length is attained. The M. K. I. HAIR POMADE is the most wonderful preparation for beautifying and straightening the hair. MAKES THE HAIR GLOSSY, REMOVES DANDRUFF and PROMOTES GROWTH.
