TENNESSEE LYNCHING OUTRIVALS WORST GERMAN ATRO RED HOT POKERS BORE OUT VIGTIMS EYES AS CHILDREN PASS BY ON THEIR WAY FROM SUNDAY SCHOOL AND STOP TO WITNESS THE GORY SPECTACLE. MEADE BOYS SIGN UP FOR FIRST PAY VOL. XXVI, No. 13 TENNESSEE W RED HOT POKERS BORE OUT DREN PASS BY ON THE SCHOOL AND ST THE GORY Dyersburg, Tenn. Dec. 5. "The atrocities that the civilized world have been accusing the Huns of perpetrating were surpassed when Laton Scott aged 30, was burned at the stake for an alleged criminal assault upon a white woman. Eight thousand whites, citizens of the country that is fighting for world-wide democracy, witnessed the horrible slaughter. The lynching took place last Sunday and was a holiday affair. From the moment when Scott was taken from sheriff's deputies in the Trimble bottoms Sunday morning, following his arrest Saturday, until the last ember around the body had lost its glow, the story rivals the mountain fastness of Kentucky and the gory vengeance of the Campern. While bound to an iron post with logging chains, the victim looked on at the fledglish whites who heated pokers and smoothing irons until they were as fiery as the flames that licked them hot. Half an hour the man waited while the irons were heated. He lay prone upon his back beneath the yoke of the iron post. Children on the outskirts romped and played, their merry voices rising above the hubbub of the mob. At last the irons were hot. "Have you anything to say?" A meek voice mumbled inaudibly. The man said a few words but few caught the portent. A red streak shot out: A poker in a brawny hand was boring out one of the Negro's eyes. He bore the ordeal with courage, only low means escaping him. Another poker was, working like an augur on the other orbit. The smell of burning flesh permeated the room, the urgent, sickening aroma telling those who failed to good vantage points what their eyes could not see. Smoothing irons were searing the flesh. Swish. Once, twice, three times a red shimmered gliding place in Lation, Scott's back side. "Tetch a hotter one," somebody said. The execution went on. Then rubbish was piled high about the agonized body, squirming beneath MEADE BOYS SIGN Some of the Men Have Been Broke for a Long Time. Still Talking About the Thanksgiving Feasts Camp Meade, Md. December 7—While the boys here are still talking of the good things they had Thanksgiving day, they are down to work and are anxiously awaiting their first full month's pay. The drattes signed for their pay last Saturday and, by the end of next week hope to have some coin jingling in their pockets. Half of their pay, according to army regulations, must be sent home, and they may keep the remainder for pocket change and expenses including insurance. The soldiers can get a very cheap rate of insurance from the Army Depot. A hard armor aid is expected that as soon as the drattes become thoroughly familiar with the plan, a large number will take advantage of it. The commissary, buying newspapers and other things that help to cheer a soldier's life it may a good armor aid or allowance. Having been here more than a month the men are getting used to camp life. Various diversions occupy their spare time, athletics playing, a prominent part. In the large Cross, or the 368th Infantry, he is appointed officer, and the men of the infantry are taking a healthy interest in many sports. Baseball, soccer, football and basketball are some or the sports that interest the athletically inclined, and the of the harder ones go into boxing. Lieutenant Cross says that the men would be grateful if some of the city folks would give entertainments so that funds may be realized for athletic goods. MATCH IS STRUCK. Someone struck the match—they say the husband of the assaulted woman applied it—and smoke began to curl upward into the blue sky. The flames gathered momentum, engulfing the fire seemed to groan, but it was Scott. More and more rubbish and wood were fed to the fire, but at 3 o'clock Luton Scott was not dead. Life finally fled at 4 o'clock. The executioners departed, leaving only the morbid. Women, who had left their dinners in the making, hastened home. Children, who had hurried on their way from Sunday School, scrawled away. Dyersburg, seemingly was satisfied. And today Dyersburg pursues the even tenor of its ways. Scott is alleged to have committed an assault upon the wife of the husband for whom he made a crop. The execution was carried on without a hitch. The utmost good order prevailed. When Dyersburg swoke Sunday morning the entire community seemed to read the handwriting on the canvas, and then led rapidly and though at that hour plans were not known, preparations were made. Hundreds of poolpe had time to reach here before the execution. Farmers had their families drove in in their buckboards, buggies and carts, and the crowds gathered at the public square. The mob entered the city at high noon—a clock was trolling twelve. Formalities were dispensed with following the confession. A number of 'leading citizens' had previously determined to have a trial by jury, but the man was made to plead guilty as soon as Not a domino hid a face. Everyone one was unmasked. Leaders were designated and assigned their parts. Long before the mob reached it, humanity was choked with humanity. Women, with babies, made themselves comfortable. Women scarcely changed their countenance as the Negro's back was worn. The executioners maintained their poise in the face of bloody creases left by the irons—irons which some housewife has been using. Three and four hours were required to complete the execution. Some time Monday an undertaker shoved up the ashes and bones and buried them. DR. JACKSON LECTURES. Dr. John Henry Jackson, professor of Hebrew at Howard University, delivered an interesting lecture on the subject. Y. M. C. A. B-89 Thursday evening. BANDS LINING UP. The infantrymen are practicing under the leadership of Bandmaster A. J. Thomas. It is expected that there will be a great deal of friendly rivalry between the infantrymen and bandmen when both get to going forward. Continued on Page 4 Bandmaster Dorcy Rhodes will have charge of the artilleryband. Both leaders, veteran bandmen are not only scouted, but also trained to be found but are offering inducements to civilians to enlist and "get into the bandwagon." PATRIOTIC LEAGUE VISITS CAMP The Patriotic League of Baltimore were visitors here on Thanksgiving Day and the Baltimore boys, especially those of Battery D of the 351st Henry Field Artillery are held in praises. The officers were held in M. C. A. M. Miss Booze, of Baltimore's school teachers, who has composed a war song "Our Soldier Boys" distributed copies of the song among the boys and led them in singing it. One of the ladies, while coming to Camp, went thru the traintalk and asked the men passerville attentives in a box of distributed among them. Who result was a large box of smokes of various brands. The ladies of the Patriotic League brought with them 300 pairs of fleece-lined gloves for the boys of Battery D and would have presented them personally but for the stress of time. They were turned over to the assessee. Mrs. M. C. A. M. in turn turned them over to Alfred Babb and Ericsson E. Brown. The officers of the Patriotic League are Mrs. George Fry, president and Mrs. Marie Payne, secretary. The Women's Patriotic League of Philadelphia, sent as its representatives, its president, Mrs. Bailey, Mrs. Holt, matron of the Pay Nursery with 150.comfy kits for the boys. The party was joined in New York by Mrs. G. BALTIMORE, SATURDAY, Y.M.G.A MEN HO DR. MOORLAND ON 25 YEARS OF SERVICE. Washington, Dec. 6—As an appreciation of the 25 years that he has given to the promotion of Y M. C. A. work among colors people all over the country, Dr. Jesse Moorland was tendered a complimentary reception at the Y. M. C. A. Wednesday evening. Prior to the beginning of the exercises, Dr. and Mrs. Moorland received the congratulations of a large number of friends. Among those in the receiving line were: Emmett J. Scott, assistant to the Secretary of War; Prof. Kelly Miller, G. H. Tobias, an international secretary; Richard C. Morse, Shelby Davidson, Dr. S. N. Newman, who presided; S. S. Booker, secretary of the Baltimore Y. M. C. A., and Henry B. F. MacFarland, who presided. In opening the exercises Mr. MacFarland paid a fine tribute to the work of Mr. Moorland. Mr. Moorland matched the beginning of the Y. M. C. A. movement among colored men. He mentioned the fact that since Dr. Moorland had become international secretary, that city associations had grown from one to the other, and that the international secretaries had grown from one to seven. KELLY MILLER'S TRIBUTE. Among the Baltimoreans present were: James W. Hughes, T. A. Date, William T. Greenwood, Dr. Albert O. Reid, Dr. Jesse M. Wilkens, Dr. Howard E. Young, Prof. J. Arthur Turner, George S. Whyte, George B. Murphy and William H. Langley. GHOORSE B MURPHY Recruitment State Teachers Associatobb That the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court invalidating the segregation law of Louisville also nullifies the similar law of Baltimore, was the decision handed down by Judge John G. Rose, in the United States District court, Tuesday. The decision was in the case of Dr. William T. Coleman, who was charged with moving into the property at 2033 McCulloh street, situated in a white block, following the decision of the highest court in the Dr. Coleman was arrested and haled into the Northwestern Police Court two weeks ago, the local authorities taking the position that the decision to arrest the Baltimore ordinance after the Baltimore ordinance. He was held in $300 bail for the action of the Grand Jury. Upon the advice of his counsel, Warner T. McQuinn, he refused to offer bail. Attorney McQuinn asked the United District with a petition seeking the release of the physician through habeas corpus proceedings. Judge Rose released him on $100 bail pending argument on Tuesday of this week. Attorney General Ritchie, City Solicitor S. F. Field and Deputy State's Attorney Roland B. Marchant were there to represent the State, while Attorney McQuinn looked after the interests of Colleen. FIELD ARGUES FOR LAW City Solicitor Field made the argument contending that the Supreme Court decision did not affect the Baltimore law. He said the inquiries were from Phillips from New York, Illinois and St. Louis regarding the Baltimore law and that where congestion occurred among colored people builders were ready to rows of hues to relieve this condition. Judge Rose said this was hardly DR. WILLIAM T. COLEMAN true, as builders have to borrow money. In order to carry on their operations, and building houses for colored people might cut off their borrowing capacity, as well as pursuing a certain class of prejudiced whites. The city solicitor contended that the Baltimore law was a reasonable exercise of the police power in that it was designed to prevent friction between the races. He also asked delay on the passage of the law, and the decision of the Maryland Court of Appeals could be given in a case pending. Judge Rose, in commenting upon City Solicitor Field's argument, said the right to buy property involved the right of the colored people to the colored people had been put to serious economic disadvantage through the operation of the local segregation that it should be incumbent upon the city authorities to provide the means for the proper expansion of the residence of the colored city has no right, the sas. to subject a class of its inhabitants to such disadvantage, if segregation is to be a fixed policy. McGUINN CITES AUTHORITIES Attorney McGuinn declared that the United States Supreme Court in handling down its decision used language so general as to include the Baltimore law. In deciding the Louisville case, McGuinn considered the whole segregation question. Taking up the argument of City Solicitor Fields that the Baltimore law A CITY-WIDE TAG DAY SATURDAY, DECEMBER 8, 1917. BY THE COLORED EMPTY STOCKING CIRCLE DO YOUR BIT AND MAKE A CHILD HAPPY in dissimilar to the no that was in force in Louisville, he said that the segregationists of St. Louis, Richmond and Baltimore in assing for leave to present briefs in the argument on the Louisville case, said the laws of their respective cities were similar to the one of the Kentucky city. He turned to City Solicitor Fred and read from latter's brief contending that the segregation laws were similar. He cited the Supreme Court decision in the Berea College case and similar suits to show that the court that accommodations must be equal. PLEAS FOR YOUTH Declaring that it is impossible to draft a segregation ordinance that will pass muster, for the Supreme Court this piece was created to power the State, he said that as colored and white men are ready to go to Europe to fight for democracy that the young colored men going there should not think that segregation still prevails at home, he said the slogan of the day, he concluded. City Solicitor Field then took up some of the points made by Mr. McQuinn, and argued that the Supreme Court did not decide upon the Bailment Law. While it may not happen in this community, he went on to say, the whites of other communities have a way of protecting themselves. He argued for the segregation law as a means of preventing conflict between the races. ROSE UPHOLDS DECISION Judge Rose said that the 14th amendment is involved in the exercises of property rights, that while the law in some sections provided for equal and separate accommodations for the races in schools and public places, the law that the wit of man to devise a segregation law that it would be fair to all. He said the city had no right to establish ghettos for any class or race, mentioned the fact that colored people had to pay higher rents than whites and that the law in custody until the Court of Appeals handed down its decision in a pending segregation case would be depriving the physician of his liberty. He then released Dr. Coleman. The physician and his attorney were then the center of an admiring number of prominent, men, among whom was Bishop I. B. Scott. New York, N. Y., Dec. 3—Nathan Nathan Straus, the well known New York philanthropist, who is campaigning to raise $1,000,000 in this country for welfare work among the Jews in national service, entertained Negro soldiers from Camp Upton at his home here on Thanksgiving day. It was stated he had decided to do this as one way of showing impartiality, emphasized, ought not to be confined to aiding men of one race or color. It is also reported from Washington that many New-England families now living there colored soldiers there with their thanksgiving day dinner, with them.

In Letter to Emmett Scott, the Policies of the War Department are Defined. —Washington, December 6—Sitting in office of the State, War and Navy Building is Emmett J. Scott, a special assistant to Secretary of War Baker. He is the advisor on matters pertaining to the colored people of this country. Mr. Scott served for eighteen years as counsel of the Secretary to Dr. Booker T. Washington, and enjoys a wide acquaintance among prominent colored and white people in all sections of the country. Secretary Baker, in his manifest desire to be fair to the colored people and my friend, that time smooth over my friction that may be occasioned by the appeals of friends of the race for fair play and also to prevent friction with that class of whites opposed to any program which includes the Negro, summoned Mr. Scott from his duties as secretary or Tuskegee instit Standing for a square deal for the race at all times, Mr. Scott has had at the same time to shape matters so as to please the race somewhat and also prevent friction between friendly wickets and prejudiced ones. SECRETARY BAKER'S LETTER With the idea of allaying any misapprehension on the part of the colored people Secretary Baker recently followed *open letter* to Mr. Scott; War Department. Washington, November 30, 1917 Memorandum—For Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department. "Referring to various telegrams and letters of protest received at the Department, to which you have my attention, concern certain alleged officers against colored officers, wish to say that a full investigation of the matters complained of has been ordered. As you know, it has been my policy to discourage discrimination against any person by reason of their race. This policy has been adopted not mere because of race, but because we go to make up the American people, but also to safeguard the very institutions which we are now, at the very greatest sacrifice, engaged in defending and which any racial disorders must endanger. The same time there is no intention of part of the War Department to undertake at this time to settle the so-called race question. In this hour of national emergency and need, white and colored men alike are being called to defend our country's honor. In the very nature of the ease some must fight in the trenches, while others must serve other capacities behind the firing line. I very much regret what seems to be a certain amount of over-worked hysteria on the part of some complainants who seem to think that only a small amount of duty in service battalions, whereas, thousands of, white draftsmen already have been, and more of, them necessarily will be assigned to duty in much service battalions. The importance of discrimination seems in the more unwarranted, in view of the fact that there is far less hazard to the life of the soldier connected with the service battalion than is true in the case of the soldier who faces shot and shelling. The attitude of the War Department toward colored soldiers is clearly shown by the following facts: More than 424 of the 1,500 colored men who completed the course at the Reserve Officers Training Camp, are assigned to service in the United States Army; near-one hundred physicians and surgeons have received commissions as officers in the Medical Reserve Corps, and a full fighting force of 30,000 colored soldiers, including representatives in the Medical Reserve Corps, will constitute the Ninety-second Division to be detailed for duty in France under Gen. Pershing. LITTLE TROUBLE IN CAMPS The relations between the colored and white men, in the camps containing both, have been worked out as a very satisfactory basis, and little or no trouble seems evident to that the colored men are accepting this as an opportunity to serve, and not an occasion for creating discord or trouble, and white men and officers are passing over the question of race difference in a helpful spirit. What we need in this discussion is thinking people, in the cities and towns around the camps, and we are getting that cooperation so generally that our course seems free from embarrassment, if German propaganda SPORT COMMENT REVIEW OF 1917 FOOTBALL SEASON Most Disastrous Season for the "Dopesters"----Howard Has Worst Season in History----Virginia Union Champions of the East, KY SPORTSMAN If football were in the same category as horse racing, we should any time the season had been a very disastrous one for the depressors, and followers of the game, for among the day college eleveners, there have been complete reversals, and surprises in memorable. For Howard University the season from closed down has been the most inerable and outmaneuvered in the history of the college. Added to this then many of her best "regurgitants" were born thru graduation and army duty, the "writers" that were" saw fit to pro the training of the boys into new hounds. The results we all know now well reevaluate an old time. When the season was nearly over the former coach was reealed, four allies in was too late, and the fifth almost conspicuous. White and Elise were alarmed the entire season without a victory to her credit, so key nothing of the number of crashes of whitewash that were occurred about her. Measure the athletic directors of Virginia Union, who have been, for the past four years, working like heavens to develop athletics on their university, learn to see the results of their fallouts, and so this year we find them the champions of the Eastern college football teams, with the results of even the great and so mighty Hampton department, from their belts. Lambourne was previously the only team that runs twice for form, if such an expression can be used to designate their style of playing. Beginning unfortunately with Championship-winning they fought well, and now they well the well. The machine of Lambourne later became the batting master of Wimbledon, so they must be satisfied to be further caught the maiden and satisfied Howard. TUSKEGEE WINS FROM ARMY 7-0 ```markdown ``` Tuskegee Institute. Ala. Dec. 1. After a brilliant record of unbroken victories Tuskegee Institute closed its football season by winning from the "upticked" team of the North Battalion of Infantry. Camp Sheridan, Montgomery. Ala. There was a pretty strong feeling among the men in brown that the school boys could not duplicate their performance of October 20th when Tuskegee in her second game of the season took their measure by a score of 7 to 1. The soldiers' squad, 22 in number, accompanied by a large number of enlisted men with their "leave leave" and a coterie of officers and wives, reached the school boys room and immediately the camp assumed a marital air accompanied by demonstrations appropriate in its outpatients of enlisted men as soon as he became the "oce of the men who will probably soon be therehere in France." The same opened at 2:20, the soldiers kicking to Tuskegee, and from then en offered a choice line of grifice tactics displayed by the Lodge team that gladdened and thrilled the hearts of those who wished with eager hope. The wide use of Tiger chops the air route, using both the forward pass and pumps when necessary, and long end runs with an occasional line plunge as their line of attack; and they reeled off their repertoire of plays with such rapidity that the soldiers were reeled pleately bewildered. The highly "touted" army eleven had some strong individual players, but the team as a whole seemed to lack that spontaneity of action, unity of purpose, and finesse of any football combination. However, had they played together a little longer they would have had a formidable aggregation. They had a center and their net left high reserves mention. During the past week the college foot ball squad scored two notable victories, the one against Morgan College. The former game was played in the Pennsylvania City, Thanksgiving Day and was looked forward to with real anticipation of being worthy the college team. While the opponents outweighed the White and Old Gold, the latter knew too much foot ball and handily won by a score of 8 to 0. The game was carefully played by the winners, as the following day was to witness the annual struggle with Morgan. Every man in the game came through in excellent shape and with one scalp under their belts the boys were off to the Monumental City with a grim determination to continue the struggle with the Methodist rivals. It was well known in advance that Morgan was bending every effort to win this year and it was predicted that the contest would be fast and worth while. It was the latter, but not the former, as the field was a sea of mud. Still Storer overpowered the city lads and won by 12 to 0. Two such victories on successive days is unusual accomplishment for foot ball teams, and it is needless to say that the Mountaineers returned home highly elated and ready for what may yet be. It is hoped that Armstrong Tech, may be secured for the annual game that should be played in Washington. If they can be gotten there on anything like fair term, they will be brought here for a game. If they can be gotten there on a game of the season will be played on the local field with the Chambersburg Athletics, who come Saturday for a return game. The devoutness of the grifflion were shocked as well as surprised to learn of the enforced absence of "Pirfrin" Palford from the game this year because of his backwardness in his studies at the college, where he had worn himself so many braces. "Pirfrin" was one of those who had come up from the hometown, beginning as a "back door" he fought this way up until he reached the pinnacle of exhibition. The acknowledged champion of football at the postseason, he not only conferred the yearly year two to know to the world than the color of a man's skin and the texture of his hair, but also whenever to do with his abilities and accomplishments in the game about them, how face was marked to the nose, and the sight. Palford was compelled to remain idle during the more season. Had Bolland remained in the same however it is probable that the light of his star would have been dimmed by the wearing performance of Paul Bollanden the funky end of the Rangers eleven. Bollanden through only 18 years old has been associated by football men the country over to be the best all around player in the country today as well as the most valuable to the team. The work of this big fellow has never been excelled, and Bollanden equalled on the griffith. His ability to make up plays quickly put to the point of danger, handle forward pressure, play his holes from one end of the line to the other and famously performs almost every play of the game was little less than uncommon. As one writer has put it, "no rarely is he an fault, plus he is principally as an experienced every play, and therein lies his great value, and therein is the greatest measure of his all-round ability." The Infantrymen soon found that their charges through the lineailed them nothing. Several of their forward passers lached the precursor necessary for their successful completion. Two or three of their passers captured the enemy. They were kicked back from placement and did not "get away." In this last contest of the season played with the men in knick, the lesser lights of the home team were given a chance to shine and be it said they shone. They upheld with general approval the old gold and crimson color and they worked hard for every inch of ground gained. Holden at center. Neweis. Cooley and Thomas Smith in the backfield and Turner, tackle played with a confidence of their ability and a resourcefulness that won for them the warm-praise. Turner's long sweep down the side line featured his work. Simmons was switched from right-half-back to quarterback and he ran the team admirably. He used good judgment and gave everyone a chance to do his bit. Townseil and Williams, linemen, did work of the highest order. They played with a spirit of aggrievement and assurance. Captain Goodwin took Coolie's place and played to form. He was responsible for one of the touchdowns. Brasshear worked in the game and his playing was of the sort that good out in view contrast to that of other participants. Of the three touchdowns made, Brasshear was able to register only one goal to Teukkeen's Thanksgiving Day engagement ended with a 15 to 8 victory. The game was one of the Siena exhibitions of clean, masterly played football ever seen at Tuskegee Institute. Officials: Mr. S. P. Huey, Auburn, referee; Mr. W. B. Stokes, Auburn, ampie; Mr. Oscar Mitchem, Kalamazoo, Normal, head lineman; Mr. W. L. Peek, Tuskegee, time keeper. Time of quarters—15 and 12 minutes. POLLARD MISSED AT BROWN "Some years ago Brown University was subjected to no little criticism for its stand on the question of eligibility. The rule that barred freshmen from competition met with no great favor at the Providence University, the contention being that bona fide students of any class should be eligible to compete. The only restriction which Brown cared to place on any student was that he maintain a certain standard of classroom efficiency. "The football season just ended brings prominently to the fore just how closely Brown clings to its eligibility rules. Fritz Pollard, the Negro sensation of 1916 football in this section, still is enrolled at Brown, and his addition to the football squad would have meant much to the prestige of the university in sports; likewise would have added much at the gate. But Pollard fell so far behind in his studies that he was barred from competition; word to this effect coming out before the football season opened. Under the unusual conditions affecting football this year, it would have been fairly easy for the authorities at Brown to raise the ban and allow this spectacular player to gain more fame for his college and himself; likewise aid financially in a somewhat disastrous season. "Pollard was not prevented from playing football. He was able to get out in some of the practice sessions and help in development of the eleven, but the rule that he could not play in any of the games was observed strictly all through the season. It must have been a temptation, having such physical college and good physical condition to refuse to him take part in games when his presence would mean so much to Brown. The question of race did not enter into the case at all. Pollard was lionized at Brown a year ago, and his --- presence was much deserved so that years' eleven but the standard which granted as more important than any ambient star."—Baltimore Sun.

"Our League found positions for 10,000 emigrants last year, they enme to us by the thousands, many of them penniless,” he continued. It is to the credit of Forrester Washington and his Urban League that Detroit has adopt- ed these thousands of Southern color- ed people “without a single clash of race feeling." Another angle of these war profits in the South shows many of the work- ing men with so much money that they prefer to ride in their recently purehased autos, when they have done their own farm labor, to helping out thelr white neighbors, who are short of help.

MARGARET BLACK GIVES A FEW VERY HELPFUL YULETIDE SUGGESTIONS We can't all of us knit or crochet all the time. There are some of us who have become experts in the knitting line, and some of us have become expert in crocheting; but there are lots of us who altho perfectly willing to do so if we could, will never become expert in any line of needle work, but we are good plodders and we do our bit in any way we can. Then again some of us are just naturally and worn out we have knitted and crocheted so constantly. Why not take a rest, by changing your occupation. Give us the two or three days if you wish to the Red Cross work, but in interpose those days with little odds and ends for the stay-at-home, who is doing their bit just as faithfully as the one who has been called by Uncle Sam. The pretty semi-useless things—real small luxuries you do without, with out half trying—but which make every life more pleasant, these are the things we want to give the one who stays at home for little Xmas remembrances. What manner of woman is it that would not enjoy a dainty little negligence with a boudour cap to match. It will take only a short time to make both. Get 1½ yards or 1¾ yards of silk, satin, chabis, albatross or flannel, either is possible for this negligence, and have it exactly 27 in. wide—it must be oblong—put it around the shoulder loosely and put a pin where you wish to cut the arm holes. In the center of the back and to the front of each shoulder take as many gathers as will be needed to make it set right around the neck. Lap across the front and fasten with loop and a pretty crocheted or covered button. Bind the wedge with ribbon or braid or take your crochet needle and double crochet all around the edge with a pivot between every third stitch. Draw the bottom corners into heavy silk tassels or crocheted balls, or better still cut a round. The satin four inches in diameter turn in a tiny narrow arm, take a piece of silk, roll in a ball and draw the silk up around it to form a big round silk ball which can hang from the corners. For the cap use a wide piece of tape or ribbon for the head band, sew a straight piece of silk to match the jacket all around the band and gather at the crown of the head, into a tassel. You can put a bit of braid or embroidery on it to match the work on the negligence. The cap when finished is just a small edition of a child's stocking cap. If you want to be real liberal there is the ever handy bedroom mules that can be made to match the cap and negligee out of ribbon. Get a pair of wool lined insoles and gather the ribbon on to fit the toes, and add a dainty bow or rosette. Neck wear of the dainty order makes acceptable gifts. Now that the stock is in favor there are many dainty ways to make. They come be frilled top and bottom with embroidered bands of velvet and satin or plain to form the stock part. One espalte to form the stock part. Velvet to form the stock and finely pleated a handkerchief cliff lines falls over the top and two jabot frills of the waist front and end in orchated halls The hat pin is coming back into favor. If you are wearing a bustle dress, it naturally rollows you will wear the bustle hat, and with its flat scoop shape and built up so high in the back, you will need the ever handy little hat pin. Why not cover a pair for some girl you know. You can buy a cheap pin at the ten cent store with a large or small head. If the head is large cover it with silk and work out a design on it with tiny colored ribbons, or you can crochet a cover for it. One girl I know, has covered a pair with red sealing wax and encaselled it with thread another pair she dipped in black wax, and while the wax was soft worked out the design by filling in with different color paints. They are both useful and exquisite. Bags are always acceptable, no matter what kind. But what would be more appreciated these days of knitting and crocheting, than the ever handy knitting bag. It can be made in many pretty ways. An odd one is made of plain and flowered goods either silk, velvet or cretonne, which ever suits your pocket book best. Take a piece of card board and cut it twelve inches long and eight inches wide. Cut a three cornered section off of each end cover with the plain material and attach shirred portion of the material for the sides of the bag, the ends are freelled on of the figured material. The top of the bag is folded back into a one-inch hem and enameled rods run tru like you would a sash curtain. The straps are so far a half inches wide made of the figured material and lined with the plain. An ingenious girl, who could not get the enameled mould bought a pair of large size knitting needles, glued knobs to them made out of corks and enameled them herself. You can buy corks at any drug store for a couple of cents a piece. A small five cent fish bowl which can be bought at any five or ten cent store, can be covered with a crocheted cover made from a five cent spool of silkateen or a yard of shirred ribbon, with ribbon handles and makes an acceptable gift for the thirty housewife. It can be hung from the gas jet and is always in place for the match, that so often is thrown on the floor, or litter's her dresser or mantel and often leaves its mark on a fine seart. It also makes a handy hair receiver. A DISTINCTIVE TOUCH A dainty luncheon set was embroidered in easy stitches with bright colored cotton. Instead of buttonholed or plain crocheted edge, clung lace, an inch wide had been added and an additional edge of black crochet worked out in the simplest of pictor stitches from point to point of the lace gave it exactly twice the importance and took but little extra work. On wider clothes a dainty colored edging could be added to lace of the heavier quality. It also adds a distinctive touch to the baby baby caps, crocheted in delicate pink or blue. Just get a 10 cent paint brush to grease your bread and cake pens with, and you'll never be without one. Some one has said "The fashionable world has simply gone made on things 'slip-on, it seems.' Well the latest is veils of this type. They look like a large net, being very fine of mesh, the edge is run thru with narrow elastic which keeps the veil firm on the hat, and comfortably snug under the becomingly in place. A few chenille dots on one side or a single simple motif is the only bit of decorativeness. A CROCHETED HAT Perhaps you would like a crocheted hat, but as they are selling for $8 and $10 in the stores you don't think you can afford to buy one. Well you can crochet can't you? The stitches are simple and are either single or double crochet. Abbreviations: Stitch, st; chain, ch; single crochet, s; c; double crochet, d; c. 1 ball of fleischer's knitting worsted and grey and 1 ball of rose. 1 bone crochet hook No. 5, 1 frame, 1 hat lining ½ yard velvet for facing. Buy an oval crown frame with plain drooped brim. For oval crown—chain 8, skip 1 stitch of chain, make *2 sc. in next st. 1 sc. in next 3 stitches of chain; 2 sc. in next 3 sc. in end of cn. or first stitch. 2nd row—2 sc. in second stitch opposite 2 sc. of other side; 1 sc. in next 3 stitches; 2 sc. in end. Repeat from * above, working round and round, only increasing (putting 3 sc.) in the middle stitch of group of 3 sc. at each end or oval. Increase enough to keep work flat on crown. For brim—Increase in every sixth stitch of first row: next row plain; next row increase in every eighth stitch, until brim fits frame, making brim about 5 rows larger than frame. Finish with slip stitch drawing tightly enough to fit snugly over velvet facing beneath brim. The first fourteen rows is made of the gray, 15th row, rose; 16th row grey; 17th row, rose; 18th row, grey; 19th row, rose; 20th grey; 21st, 23rd, 25th rows, rose; 22nd and 24th brows, grey. The first 9 rows of the brim are grey then alternate 1 row rose, 1 grey until the brim is covered. Work the last 5 rows grey or rose for under brim just as preferred. Flowers for trimming to be tacked directly in front of hat. Ch. 5 join in ring, 10 sc. in ring, 20 sc. over 10 sc. Ch. 10 turn, miss 2 work 8 sc. on ch. catch in ring with slip stitch. Repeat until there are 10 petals. Slip stitch over 5 sc. in ring ch. 25. miss 2 ch. and work 23 sc. over ch. slip st. over 5 sc. in ring. This makes 1 flower and stem. Make 3 for front of hat. Use fish left from dinner or breakfast. Remove skin and bones. Add thick white sauce to flaked fish in equal proportions and add a little nutmeg. Season the fish with salt and pepper and add a few spoonfuls of cooked peas. Serve as soon as heated. When there are almost but not quite enough potatoes for luncheon, hard boil two or three eggs, slice, mix with the cut-up potatoes, and pour cream and gravity over them. Two or three slices of lemon eaten after onions will entirely destroy the odor. SALISBURY Salisbury, Md., Dec. 5. —Representatives from the 15 districts of Wicomico met at St. Paul A. M. E.

Campbell, B. S., M. D., 1369 N. Carey St., Baltimore, Md. For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the Johns Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else. I went down until I weighed only 96 lbs. I held the table to me try Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Ease Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 143 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others who were suffering trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertha I. Smith. Back River, Rosville P. O., Md.

EIGHTH BISHOP SCOTT TALKS ON WAR Taking the promise of the Allies that the conditions of the natives of Africa would be ameliorated after the war, Bishop I. B. Scott, in an address at Metropolitan M. E. Church Monday night, asserted that the Africans needed Christian education and the opportunity for larger economic develop- ment. Bishop I. B. Scott, until his voluntary retirement in 1916, spent sixteen years as a bishop of the M. B. Church in West Africa. He traveled much while there and, therefore, was an intimate knowledge of conditions. His theme was "Africa, the Land of Wealth and Mystery—Can It Be Sav- ed? After mentioning the vast resources, size and wealth of the Dark Continent, he referred to the native African as the "Most remarkable and interesting feature of all Africa" who, though ignorant and superstitious, shows remarkable native intelligence and re-fulness. 502 He sketched the part the native plays in the civil government, filling erical positions and acting as telegraph and cable operators. He said that the native constituted the military arm of the various governments there, though all of the superior officers are white. He praised the valor of the native troops fighting on the side of the Allies. Out of a population of about 175,000,000, Bishop Scott, only about 10,000,000 had been touched by the influence of Christianity. The spread of the gospel and the establishment of schools was needed, he said. Bishop Scott preached at Metropolitan Church on Sunday. The Triumphs of Sacrifice and the speakers at the banquet of Meldhistist men Tuesday evening. PASTOR CELEBRATES HIS 28th ANNIVERSARY On Sunday, Nov. 25, Rev. Julius S. Carroll, pastor of Centennial Methodist Episcopal Church, celebrated his twenty-eighth Anniversary as a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The occasion was very fittingly observed. At 10 A. M. the pastor preached his first sermon to the Junior Church. The service was well attended. At 11 A. M. Rev. N. M. Carroll, D. D. delivered a very appropriate and helpful sermon from the text I Cor. 16:13. This was the text he used twenty-eight years ago when as pastor of Roberts Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church, Alexandria, Va. he received into full membership that church a large class composed of children, of whom Rev. Julius Carroll was one. At the time, Carroll was one. At the service, Mrs. Sudio Chapill, one of the sewards, presented the pastor in bed, officers, members and friends, a beautiful bouquet of roses. In her address Mrs. Churchill assured the pastor that he had the cooperation of the officials, members and friends of the church. The pastor received many words of congratulation. At 5 P. M., the Peck's Chapter Epworth League, of Asbury Church visited Riddick Chapter of Centennial Church. An excellent program was rendered. At the evening service the pastor gave a brief talk upon his work in the church and the ministry. CELEBRATES 50th ANNIVERSARY The fifth anniversary of Grace A. M. E. Church, Catonsville, will be the occasion for a week's celebration beginning this Sunday, December 9. The celebration will open with a sermon by Rev. C. H. Young this Sunday morning, Rev. C. H. Murray; a former pastor of the church, will preach in the morning. Rev. C. H. Murray, a former pastor of the church, will preach in the afternoon and Rev. P. H. Green at night. Rev. W. Sampson Brooks will fill the pulpit next Tuesday night and Rev. S. M. Johnson the following night. A reunion of the church auxiliaries will take place next Friday night. Rev. M. W. Travers will fill the pulpit next Sunday morning, December 16 and Rev. John Porter at night. A reunion of the members, followed by a supper, will cause the exercises on Monday, December 17. Rev. Dr. D. G. Hill is pastor of the church. HERE AND THERE A Children's Church has been organized at Centennial M. E. Church. The services are held from 10 to 11 o'clock each Sunday, the pastor, Rev. J. S. Carroll, or some other minister filling the pulpit. The juveniles have charge of their own affairs, the idea being to inculcate in their minds the duties attendant upon churchgoers. Grand Chancellor George A. Watty was in Nanticoke, Md., Tuesday, where he set apart a newly-organized lodge of Knights of Pythias. The Annual Christmas Treat of the Colored Fresh Air and Empty Stocking Circle will be given at Metropolitan M. E. Church on December 22. Despite the high cost of things, the circle expects to make glad the hearts of hundreds of poor boys and girls. Rev. J. H. Burley, pastor of Mt. Ararat Baptist Church, Canton, is able to be out after several months' illness. The Maryland Colored State Teachers' Association, at its annual session here last week, voted to seek aid for Provident Hospital in the various counties of the State. Not only will money be secured, but non-clothing and other necessary articles will be asked for. The action of the teachers followed a letter from the Provident Moore, financial agent of the hospital. The Baltimore County Teachers' Association has sent its check for the $30 recently voted the hospital. DIVORCE GRANTED Mrs Lillian May Hailstork, residing at 663 Saratoga street and very well known in both Norfolk and Baltimore more society circles, was granted an absolute divorce on November 50th, from her husband, Archie Hailstork on statutory grounds. Mrs Hailstork was also permitted to resume her maiden name Lillian May Scott. She was represented in the case by Attorney Roy S. Bond, of 141 Druid Hill avenue. AN OPPORTUNITY! AN OPPORTUNITY! THE POOR YOU ALWAYS HAVE WITH YOU Usually at this time of the year the chance is given the readers of this paper to do a good act entirely out of their general line. As a rule the response has been satisfactory and the help given was given where*most needed. Here is another opportunity for giving where giving will be of great and lasting good. No matter what might happen to us thers is hardly one of us that would like to be put in an institution, but would much prefer, even under adverse circumstances to remain at home, no matter how hard we would have to work and under whatever discouragements. Here is a case where you are helping one to help yourself. Mrs. S. is blind, and without friends to care for her. She has learned to do a little work; which brings in enough money for her food and fuel, but she cannot earn enough for her room rent. She is making a hard struggle to be independent, but unless money can be secured to pay the room rent, she will have to go to an institution. Six dollars a month or seventy-two dollars a year, will allow this woman to continue her work and remain in her own home. These situations will be acknowledged through these clums. Whatever you do, do it quickly, for it is said that "he who gives quickly gives twice." QUIETLY MARRIED John K. Lyles, an ex-student of Hampton Institute, and a prominent musician of Baltimore, was quietly married to Miss Salma Preston at the brides' home in Stewardsville, Md., November 28, 1917 by the Rev. Cordell. The couple were the recipients of a number of very useful presents. Miss Ruby Love and Mr. Joseph Hamer were guests of Miss L. E. Toberson, 1726 McCulloh street for a few days. They visited friends at Camp Meade Sunday. Miss S. Agatha Mason, of Baltimore principal of the school at Elliott City spent Thanksgiving with Mrs. Benjamin R. Harp and daughters, of Union Bridge. Miss Helen Truxon also spent Sunday with Mrs. Harp. Mrs. Lina Wilson has just returned after a week's visit in New York City with her sister, Mrs. Sadie Jones. Laurence G. Newton, B. S., of Philadelphia, spent Sunday in the city. While here he was the dinner guest of Mr. J. Anderson Jones, who with him motored to Camp Meade in the afternoon. ORITUARY. AND MEMORIAM MISS CARRIE G. BURKE Miss Carrie G. Burke, beloved daughter of Mrs. Rebecca Burke, and sister of Mrs. Ruby Jones Byrd, 1306 S. Bouvier street, Philadelphia, Pa., formerly of Baltimore, departed this life November 29th at 5 p., m., after an illness of one week.

BROWN—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Maltimore Brown, Jr., who departed this life one year ago December 9, 1911. Sleep on dear one time, take your rest God called you home. He knew best; He saw you suffering here so great And opened wide the golden gate. You are not forgotten Maudie dear Or will you ever be For as long as life and memory last I will remember thee. By his loving wife. Mrs. Maltimore Brown. LIGGINS—In sad and loving remembrance of my dear wife and our mother, Harriett Liggins, who departed this life six years ago, Dec. 9, 1911. The rose that is the dearest and rarest Is the one that is killed with the frost The love that was purest and fairest Is the one that we have loved and lost. God takes our loved ones from our home But never from our hearts But in heaven I expect to greet the When my life on earth is oer. By her husband, daughters and sons-in-law. JOHNSON—In sad but loving remembrance of my dear husband, Thomas Johnson, who departed this life nine years ago, Dec. 5th, 1908. As the evening sun is setting, As I often sit alone In my heart comes a feeling That my dear husband must come Oh the memory of that evening As I gazed with aching heart Can only tell the agony How hard it was to part. Never one moment forgotten Never shall his memory fade Sweetest thoughts will ever linger Around the grave where he is laid. The God whom we love in His wisdom Knew well what was right and best And we pray today for patience Till we meet in the land of rest. For his wife and daughter. SAMUEL L.
