Midnight, (Charles Stewart)Associated Press Correspondent and for many years gonial writer of Midnight's Musings in the Afro-American, has been appointed to a position on the publicity board of Herbert Hoover's Food Commission. From now on, Midnight will have to cease musing long enough, to tell readers of colored papers how to eliminate the garbage can waste and live on one meal per day. Even places as far north and west as Seattle, Washington, are making a bid for colored laborers. The 6,000 colored folk in that city are said to own $1,000,000 worth of property. A recent bulletin issued by business men of the state calls for 500 laborers at the wages of $3 to $5 per day. No more professional men are wanted at present. At Camp Lewis where 7,000 mechanics and workers are getting a cantonment ready for the drafted men, men are employed without regard to color. "Young men, come North," seems to be the present day echo of Horace Greely's, "Young man, go West" of fifty years ago. Word from Newark, N. J. that Major Taylor won the mile old timer's race at the Vendome the other day reminds us of the palmy days of 1900 when this great colored sprinter won the American Cycling championship. This come-back of the champion's is the best proof that all great athletes do not have to violate the intermarriage and the auto speed laws. It is possible for them to take care of themselves and live to a ripe old age. NOW FOR SCHOOL Perhaps it is a little too early yet for any figures on the total registration in the local schools. To be sure the records of the first days are available, but the additions during the next two weeks are certain to change these first reports considerably. Indications point to an increase in the number of pupils of the primary and grammar grades. The High School and Morgan College appear likely to face a smaller enrollment than last year. These are the indications in Baltimore and from all sources, returns indicate that this is the situation all over the country. In the face of this departure of many pupils in the higher grades and high schools for "jobs" the school officials are urging parents to keep their children in school until they have completed their courses. This is the only patriotic course. The young educated men, who have volunteered and have been drafted, may not come back to their former duties after the war. It seems reasonable to count on losing some of them. At this rate it would be a salamity if the coming generation should not be trained and well trained to take their places. The educational system, that we have, has passed thru many wars, and will survive this one. In order not to be behind after the war is over, we have got to keep up the schools now. It is not only good patriotism but good sense to keep the children in the schools. Now for school. MAKING A SEASON As the vacationlss get, back to town from the summer resorts, there are many confabs about the long swims, the big catches of fish, and the big haul in vacation money. "Fish tales" and yarns of the usual type prevail this kind of weather, but here is one that deserves more than the usual credence. It is noteworth especially because it shows how one man's business sense enabled him to pay for an auto, and at the same time spend a pleasant summer. According to the story of Howard University man he landed in Asbury Park with a Ford roadster and a car load of books, poems by Dunbar and the like. He employed another student to drive his auto and got a license for litter service. Asbury Park has a number of beautiful drives, and sight-seers were charged so much per head. He himself sold books, soap, medicines and other commodities among the townspeople. At the end of the season, the student-driver found that he had made enough commissions to pay his way through school this winter. The owner of the car paid for his license. bought a new four seat body for his car, paid his student-driver, and all other expenses, having enough over to buy a new car if he wants one. Besides this he maintains that he averaged more than $3 per day on his sales of books etc., to the townsfolk. This is what might be called business sense. THE PROBLEM The War Department threw a bomb into the Officers Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, Iowa, when instead of the expected announcement of commissions, orders were issued stating that the men could reenlist for another month, making four months in all at the camp instead of the three months first proposed. More than fifty men at the camp, who felt that they had little hope of receiving commissions left immediately. About 950 men remain at Fort Des Moines out of the original 1250. No reason for this extension of time was assigned by the War Department. The men had finished the work outlined for the training camp according to their officers and inspectors from the War Department in a very creditable manner, and had the right to expect their commissions September 15. Instead of this they appear to have been given the option of enlisting for another month of training or else lose their chance of receiving commissions in the army altogether. It looks very much as if the War Department has broken faith with its colored officers at the very beginning. Of course no one will make the charge that the men at Fort Des Moines are getting too much training. It takes four years of West Point work to make a second lieutenant usually, and these men have only been at work three months. The more training the receive, the better officers they must prove. The only objection that can be raised lies in the fact that the term of the camp is being raised without any good reason being assigned. Fort Des Moines rookies knew that they, were on trial as reserve officers, they have done their utmost to make good in the allotted time, and according to all published accounts have come up to all expectations. To lengthen the training period without assigning any reason might leave the impression in, some circles that the men at Des Moines have not done as well as the men in the other camps. If this is so everybody ought to know it, and if it is not so, false impressions ought not to be created. Maybe after all it is the old problem of not knowing what to do with the colored man in the army. A recent statement of Secretary of War Baker to the effect that "the call for colored drafted men will be postponed, so that they will be called at a separate time. . . . It is estimated that 70,000 of the 687,000 men called will be colored. . . . The army in France will need 100,000 men behind the lines for use along the roads and railways, or on other special work. A great many battalions of white and colored men will be necessary for these purposes, and the War Department feels certain that many of the colored men of the selective draft forces will volunteer for this duty in order to be sent quickly to France." Such a statement seems to indicate that the Government would prefer colored laborers to colored soldiers. At the same time the uncertainty of the policy of cantonment of the colored men...whether with the other troops or by themselves, whether in the North or in the South...shows plainly how hard the Department finds it to determine just what it is going to do. It will certainly be a "great step toward, winning the war" when the government begins to handle its soldiers as United States soldiers, and forgets that some are colored and others are not. WHY THESE EXCURSIONS? Just why a number of our people will hire the white people's steamboats every year at the end of the season when we have a boat large enough to carry any ordinary excursion to any place on the bay is a puzzle. These boats can only be engaged at the end of the season when the white excursion season is closed. If we are correctly informed the excursion of Monday netted the owners of the white boat over eighteen hundred dollars. The promoters got something; like four hundred dollars. It is time we had stopped this kind of foolishness, and if we must go on excursions go on a boat owned and operated by our own people. This is not all that could be said about these excursions, but for the present we refrain with the hoo that will be the last season we will be called on to say anything about them. WHERE THE TROUBLE LIES The daily papers have recorded several outbreaks on the part of the colored troops in different sections of the country, the latest being in New Jersey where a part of the New York regiment is in camp. This was a small affair but the Associated Press made much of it as it usually does in all matters which show the colored man up in a bad light. The whole trouble comes about by the overbearing disposition of the whites toward the colored man whether he be soldier or civilian. In this last so-called riot two civilian police men endeavored to stop a little fractions among several of the soldiers with the result that they got a beautiful pair of broken heads and the colored soldiers a trip to the guardhouse. Whenever this sort of thing prevails there is going to be trouble and the best way to avoid it is for the white people to learn that the days of slavery are over and that the black man cannot be driven here and there as suits the convenience of the so-called superior race. Just treat all men alike without regard to color and the trouble will be over. As conditions are now, with the war, with strikes and with machinations of the enemy, this country will have its hands full for the next two or three years without inviting any more from another source. DR. WRIGHT DENYS THE ALLEGATION AND DEFIES THE ALLIGATOR Editor Afro-American Baltimore, Md. Dear Mr. Editor:—I thank you for the copy of your valuable paper of August 25, 1917, containing a reference to the address of Bishop Hurst at the Commencement of the Georgia State College June last and an alleged account of my conduct on that occasion. I beg to say that in so far as the account makes reference to the undersigned every assertion is unwarranted by the facts. Ask the Bishop if this is not true as regards my treatment of him. I entertained him at my home and expressed the that in passing he should counsel again. He promised to do so and bring his wife. He was a very acceptable guest. Mr. Hershaw of Washington, D. C. was present during most of the Bishop's stay. They both expressed themselves as being highly delighted in their entertainment, our school and work. The Bishop gave an able address. When he concluded I stepped to the front, took his hand and heartily congratulated him in the presence of the entire audience. When he left our Campus, accompanied by my wife, daughter and son, I took him to the station in my car. What more could I have done? The address of the Bishop was indeed strong, but in the defence of the race it was certainly more outspoken than the speeches of the college graduates' who preceded him. On beginning his address the Bishop said that the boys had participated him in much of what should say. Reference to the migration Edition of the Christian Recorder will show that I had spoken quite as strongly myself in an address outlining some of the causes of the Negro migration. This address was published in all the daily papers in Georgia. No, no, my friends, we are not cowards and are evidently braver than your anonymous Correspondent who gave you the slanderous account. Very respectfully. R. R. WRIGHT HE KNOWS A GOOD THING To the Afro-American Co., Gentlemen:— Please find enclosed $1.00 for the renewal of my subscription, to your valuable paper. My family and I enjoy reading it so much, we do not be without it. You will excuse my delay in sending you the GEORGE W. THOMAS, 1616 Latrobe St., City WHY THE NEGRO LEAVES THE SOUTH The cause is complex and many-angled, not simple and categorical. Perhaps the greatest element in all this causation is the Jim Crow Car. It is worse than lynching; lynching occasionally kills one man; the Jim Crow Car perpetually tortures ten thousand. I am writing on board a Jim Crow Car from Little Rock, Ark., toward St. Louis, Mo., a horrible night ride. The Colored women have one end of a smoker, separated from smoking white men by a petition that rises only part the way from the floor toward the ceiling of the car. All of the smoke and fumes, and some of the oaths come over. Some of Colored people are already spent in this same car, coming all the way from the lower side of Texas. For them the name of the train must sound very much like irony; it is "The Sunshine Special." Just behind us is a chair car for white people where they can stretch out and rest with sanitary napkins under their heads. They have paid exactly the same "first class" fares paid by these Colored passengers. But in the Jim Crow Car there are only straight-backed seats filled with the dust and grime of neglect. All of these Colored people are wishing, and some of them giving audible expression to the wish, to reach Poplar Bluff, the first stop in Missouri, so that they can go back into that chair car and out of the squail and discomfort of this car-end....and in the service of the United States, summoned from the far corners of Texas to Newport News, Va., to be trained to fight for democracy in Europe; and because they travel practically all of the way thru southern territory they must sit up for three nights and days, without change of clothing or a bit of warm food-certainly a good preparation for trench warfare. Then, "Why does the Negro leave the South?" indeed! You would FEEL a large part of the answer if you could be on this train, in this Jim Crow Car, and share for one night the longing of these people to reach the line that divides Missouri from Arkansas or any other part of the state that separates Dixie from the rest of creation!

Friends may think I have forgotten you And my wounded heart is healed; But they little know the sorrow That's within my heart concealed. In sad but loving remembrance of my dear mother, Caroline E. Crosby, who departed this life one month ago, August 21, 1917. 'Tis hard to break the tender cord, When love has bound the heart 'Tis hard, so hard to speak the words, Must we forever part. We cannot tell who next may fall Beneath Thy chastening rod: One must be first, but let us all Prepare to meet our God.

Coloridge Taylor Musical Club, composed of the pupils of Mrs. Lovey E. Husketh, extend to the beaten-ground teacher M. Taylor their sympathy. The club lost a member who inspired them to better work. Mrs. Husketh feels that when God saw fit to call Master Taylor and Miss Consello V. Williams, daughter of Rev. and Mrs. F. R. Williams, she lost two of her brightest pupils. Not lost but gone before Sad in the Sayer's keeping Not lost, not dead nor even sleeping Through heaven's fretted floor Their starry eyes are peeping. NOTICE The regular session of the G. U. O.

How many times has this question been asked by women and growing girls, "What can I do to develop the bust?" There are three responses, women, who were there发展的, but who have been able to attain perfectly developed bust by employing certain means to assist nature in building up the bust to its proper proportion. The remedy which is universal uses has established for this purpose a B-D MASSAGE CREAM, (B-D means Bust Developer). This cream is readily absorbed by the issues, rubs in dri and builds up the parts to their fullness. The cream is sufficiently refined need for developing the bust. It can a so be used to build up the neck, arms and shoulders. If you want a plump, full, beautiful bust of real, firm flesh why begin the use of B-D 'MASSAGE CREAM at once don't wait, the sooner the better 'you will be surprised at obliterated promise of the first jar of cream. ```markdown ``` A GREAT RECEPTION IN HONOR OF DR.

SOCIETY 22ND CONVENTION The Baltimore Conference Branch of the Woman's Mite Missionary Society held its 22nd annual session in Bethel Church, Cambridge, Md., September 5th-7th. The delegates left Baltimore at 6 p.m., on the 4th and enjoyed a pleasant trip down the Bay arriving in Cambridge about 7:30 a.m. We were met at the boat by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Young, and conveyed by auto to the parsonage where we were greeted with smiles and cheerful words by the lady of the parsonage, Mrs. E. G. Young and Mrs. M. J. Henry, who assigned us to our respective stopping places. We were then escorted to the dining room of the church and served a splendid breakfast by the effusive committee, upon The sessions each morning ed with praise services conducted by Mrs. Dora Murray, who is indeed spiritual feasts. It present entered into the spirit of the occasion and copious tears of blessings fell. This set us straight for the rest of the day and the mot. hearty good-will and charmbleness prevailed. The business sessions were presided over by Mrs. C. J. Flagg in her usual unassuming and impartial manner. Mrs. A. E. Waddleton presented the society a gavel, the gift of Mrs. M. E. Davis, of Washington, Mrs. J. Albert Johnson and Mrs. J. having expressed a desire to be useful were appointed by the president on behalf of to which they rendered special service. The reports of the various societies were on the whole good, showing a marked success in many instances; but the failure of several societies in each district to report for the fourth quarter was regretted. The sessions were interesting from beginning to end. The discussion that followed the reading of a very interesting paper by Mrs. M. B. Cornish, opened up a very wide field. A very inspiring address by Mrs. J. Albert Johnson and almost instructive paper by Mrs. M. L. Gaines, which in the absence of Mrs. Gaines was read by Mrs. Mamie Pinder, will appear in the minutes. Don't fail to get a minute and read them. Rev. J. G. Martin, presiding elder of the District, was introduced and gave an inspiring talk on "Thrift," which evoked a lively discussion. The question box conducted by Mrs. E. L. Stepteau continued so many live wires that Mrs. Stepteau requested that a committee be appointed to assist in preparing the answer. The president appointed the following ladies: Mrs. Bryant, Mrs. Boston, Mrs. Young, Mrs. Carvis, Misses Thornton and Beanie. A lively discussion followed the report of this committee. The program rendered by the Juniors under the direction of Mrs. A. E. Waddleton, was delightful. Too much credit cannot be given these young people. Mrs. J. A. Johnson, Mrs. C. J. Flagg, supported the Juniors. The report of the treasurer showed that during the year every society had been heard from except two. Loyal members of the respective districts came forward with an offering for those so that no place might be blank for the entire year. The total amount sent the treasurer was $1,169.34. The auditing committee reported the treasurer's books beautifully kept and a credit to the society. A letter, brimful of information, from Mrs. M. S. C. Beckett, corresponding secretary of the Parent Body, was received. The election of officers with Mrs. J. A. Johnson presiding, was most orderly and expeditious, the work being finished in one-half hour. Mrs. C. J. Flagg was reelected president; Mrs. E. T. Addison, 1st vice president, to succeed Mrs. Young, resigned. Mrs. M. I. Throckmorton nominated for recording secretary and Mrs. M. Pinder was elected, with Mrs. Della Green as assistant; Mrs. J. A. Eriscoe, 2nd vice president; Mrs. R. J. Martin, treasurer; Mrs. L. Porter, corresponding secretary; Mrs. D. Colston, junior of juniors; Mrs. E. G. superintendent of temperance; Mrs. P. Simms, chairman of special fund; Mrs. Dora Murray, chairman praise meetings; Presiding Elders' wives, chairman parent meetings. Too much praise cannot be given the pastor, his energetic wife and splendid corps of workers for the royal way in which the entertained the convention. The receipt tendered the delegates on Wednesday evening was a very enjoyable affair. Addresses of welcome delivered by Mrs. E. G. Young and Mrs. M. J. Henry were scholarly and pleasing. They were able responded to by Mrs. E. L. Stepteau and Mrs. A. M. Wortham. A very excellent program was rendered by the following persons: Mrs. M. Sinclair, Mrs. Bogs, Mrs. Lillian Coleman, Mr. Robert Boggs, and Mr. Samuel Hayward. Both in church and home, everything possible was done looking forward to the pleasure and comfort of the members of the convention. The delegates left for their respective homes Friday evening. On every hand the expression, "This was the best convention we have ever held," was heard. FANNIE N. BRISCOE, Reporter. CHESTERTOWN NOTES Chestertown, Md.

STEWART ON FOOD BOARD Will Have Charge of Publicity Bureau in National Food Conservation Plan. Prof. Charles Stewart. Associated Press correspondent, globe trotter and lecturer, was in town for a short stay Wednesday, dropped into the Afro-American office, and almost before one could say "Jack Robinson" was off again to Washington. Prof. Stewart was called to Washington Saturday to confer with members of the Hoover Commission as to the best way to reach the twelve millions colored people in the United States in the educational campaign for the conservation of foodstuffs. At the conclusion of the conference, he consented to head the publicly department for the weekly newspapers throughout the United States. Prof. Stewart is the dean of newspaper correspondents in this country, having been in the newspaper business nearly forty years. He surrupted in Louisville with the American Baptist in 1879. Later he became connected with Henry Watterson's Counter-Journal. When he moved to Chicago in the late eighties he joined the staff of the Inter- Ocean and [Picture of a man in a suit with a bow tie]. remained with that paper until it suspended publication. While with the Inter-Ocean, he accepted a pos- ition with the Association, which position he held, being the only employed employee in that company's gathering service. In connection with his work as a correspondent, Prof. Stewart has found time to deliver a number of lectures in all parts or the country. He also wrote for the Afro-American for a number of years under the nom de plume of "J. O. Midnight." He has, perhaps, traveled more than any other colored man in America, having at one time or another visited every town in the south and south-west as well as every city of importance in the east and west. He has also been abroad several times. Funeral of James A. Smith The funeral of Mr. James A.

Mrs. Lillie Smith, was read at the funeral: "I wish to extend to you the sympathy of myself and employees in this service at the loss of your husband. James A.

Trusting that the God who watches over and guards us all will continue with and comfort you in this your hour of bereavement. I am. The deceased was a member of an old Maryland family, having been born in Baltimore 63 years ago.

He went to Cleveland about 35 years ago, and soon became a prominent figure in the colored colony there. He was appointed custodian of the Postoffice there, being later made stock clerk. Since his last visit to Baltimore four years ago he had been assigned to lighter duties in the inquiry division of the Postoffice.

Inoegje Medical Co., Baltimore, Md. For 17 years I was tormented with a terrible skin disease which the doctors called ECZEMA. It set me at times almost crazy from itching. During these years, I went to hospitals and tried about 30 doctors without relief. The disease never checked, son took me to Dr. Campbell the specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, MJ. He trenued me seven months and I am now completely well. If anyone happens to suffer with such awful skin disease, go to Dr. Campbell, who, I believe, can cure anything a person was not born with, and he is, to my mind, the best doctor in the world.
