ALLEGES BRUTAL METHODS USED TO MAKE SNOWDEN CONFESS CRIME His Life Was Threatened If He Did Not Confess Maryland's Best. The Afro-American is the oldest, largest and newsiest weekly Newspaper in Maryland. VOL. XXVI. No. 20. ALLEGES BRUT TO MAKE SNO Police Said To Have Se Murdering Brandon His Life Was Th Knocked down, buffeted, crunk over the head, and a loaded receiver revolted at him were some of the men alleged to have been adopted by the police in their efforts to force a confession from John Snowden, was the clearly exonerated statement of the accused man in the Brandon murder case, now in progress at the Towson courthouse. That the prisoner in giving his testimony in a straightforward manner, made a profound impression upon those present, is generally admitted, and the opinion is widespread that the State's case, based solely upon circumstantial evidence of the dimestest End, has received a severe poll. Marshal Carter, Deputy Marshal House Thursday morning and testified in rebuttal to the accused man's statement to the "Third Degree" methods employed. They said that they were not brutal toward Snowden. Rev. Ernest S. Williams, pastor of Ashbury M. E. Church, Annapolis, and Dr. W. Dr. A. C. Hunters, a field secretary of the Board of Missions of the M. E. Church, both of whom were on a porch near the Brandon woman's home, on the daft of the murder, testified that they heard no struggle in the murdered woman's home on the fatal morning, nor did they den in the porch thereof. The testimony of Williams, which was retested in the white papers as "fosseotent," was clear and brightly evidenced and at no time did we become noted in his reports, noteworthy various attempts by States Attorney Green to confuse him. Testimony was introduced by other witnesses for the defense, that tended to show that the Petitione woman, who testified dearer in the case for the State, could not have seen, what was taking place in the fatal room, which was heavily screened. The testimony of Dr. Louis B. Hankel, the Annapolis Maternity expert, who was to show for the defense how women in Mrs. Brandon's condition could have died under natural circumstances and yet have evidence of foul play, was not allowance by the Court because of his not having been present at either of the two antipodes held over the unmerged woman. When the case was finally given to the jury Thursday night, after Attorney Brandy, of Annapolis, for the defense, and States' Attorney Green, of Anne Arundel County, had made the closing arguments, the many people present bared a sight of relief. Boycotte The Billy Sunday Campaign. Washington, February 1—The billy Sunday campaign, now in progress in this city, is not creating the amount of interest nor drawing the crowds that were expected. For quite a year plans were being laid for his coming but at no time were the regro churches or their pastors given any recognition, or allowed to have any part in the steps taken for the success of the meetings. The committee of arrangements even went so far as to declare that rather than allow any of the groces to have any part, the whole course all would be catted off and Mr. Sunday told to stay away. Some of the colored people also remember that during his campaign in Atlanta, they were at first denied admission and later segregated, and also that Mr. Sunday always steers clear, is sort of "gun shy," for the race question and never allows to lynchings, injustice or oppression of the Negro in many sections of this country, and they decided to simply wipe their hands clear of the whole matter. So when Dr. J. Milton Waldron came with an invitation to the Ministers Alliance, of which Rev. Dr. M. W. Chair is the chairman, stating that Mr. Sunday was NOW ready to preach to the colored people in some of the leading colored churches, the Alliance very promptly and emphatically said "No thank you" by the following resolution: "It is the opinion of the Ministers' Alliance that under the present arrangements of the Billy Sunday campaign, we do not see our way clear of any special service for the coloured people of the District of Columbia" John Snowden had been on trial for his life for the past ten days and the State had not brought out any really convincing proof of his guilt, mainly having its concession on the allegation made by Mary Perkins and another colored woman that they had seen him leve the Brandon home on the night of the murder. SNOWDEN A GOOD WITNESS Snowden, himself, had resisted all three degree methods, which was an other count in favor of his innocence. The way he answered the questions put to him by State's Attorney Green made many have confidence in his guillotines. He told a clear and straightforward story of his life and of his whereabouts on the night of the murder. RIDDLES STATES SIDE Attorney G. G. Gas Crison, who opened for the defense, following the opening argument for the State made by State's Attorney Hartman, of Baltimore County, took up one by one, the various arguments made by the State, showing their illogical chestings and antithetical points. He argued vigorously that the State's contention that the woman had been criminally assulted, had not been proven; showed up the contradictory stands taken by state's own witnesses and asked the jury if they would believe the testimony of such witnesses as the State printed its faith upon rather than such reputable men as Rev. W. A. C. Inghes, Rev. E. S. Williams and W. E. Fletcher. He showed a plat of the murdered woman's house to the jury, when he was arguing that the State had not shown that the colored man had not committed the crimes. All eyes were intently upon the attorney when he showed a picture of the dead woman showing one scratched and one jersey trying to show him two. Taking the testimony of the eleven-year old boy that he and heard da litte noise at the Brandon home and heard the door shut on the night of the murder of the hwite woman, he contracted it with the testimony of Mary elkins, who averred that she saw the man leave the house and heard big noise. He told the jury that they were there to consider the law and facts of the case in a common-sense way and that both showed that Snowden should be acquitted as his guilt had not been proven beyond a reasonable doubt. Atlantic City Gets Next Business League Session Tuskegee, Alehamn, Jan. 26.—Emmet J. Scott, secretary of the National Negro Business League, has been authorized by the Hon. J. C. Napier, president, and Dr. Robert R. Moton, chairman of the Executive Committee, to announce that it has been decided to hold the next meeting of the National Negro Business League at Atlantic City, New Jersey, August 21-22, 1918. During the meeting at Chattanooga, Tennessee, 1917, invitations were read from various cities including Atlantic City, and it was decided then to leave the matter of selection of the meeting place for 1918 to appeal committee consistence to the Secretary of the Executive Committee and the secretary of the League. In the telegram which came from the Mayor of Atlantic City to the secretary of the League, he said: "We certainly extend you invitation and offer the city keys and unequaled hospitality for next meeting of National Negro Business League." A committee consisting of some of the officers of the local Negro Business League at Atlantic City went to Washington recently and conferred with Mr. Scott, the secretary of the League, where he is temporarily located as Special Assistant to the Secretary of War. They outlined their plans for the entertainment of the guests, and the outlook is most promising for a good and helpful meeting. The meeting will afford an unusual opportunity for combining business and pleasure. Atlantic City being known as the "world's play-ground." WHITE WAITERS GO Philadelphia, Feb. 1—Sixty colored waiters and twenty-five white waiters displaced the eighty-five white waiters in the Union League when the whites demanded a $20 a month increase in their wages. They had been receiving $70 a month and board, and demanded $500. BY JENNIE H. ROSS By now the reading public must be acquainted with the case of John Snowden, the young man, accused of the murder of Lotie May Brandon, at Annapolis, August 8, 1917. John Snowden was born in Annapolis, 29 years ago, of humble but respectful parents. To read from the reports from the press, then to witness the trial at the Court House at Towson, one would have quite a different impression. I was unexpectedly made interested in the case by Mrs. Hester Johnson, who was one of a committee from Annapolis, and who made her sit with me while here. After this, I was requested to give my impressions of the trial. On Thursday, January 24th, I went to the Towson Court House. There I met a number of Baltimoreans as well as a goodly number of Amphipol, who were there to witness the trial of a man whom they believed to be innocent of the crime for which he was on trial. The delegation from Amphipol included Mrs. Fannie Briscoe, Mrs. Mister Johnson, Mrs. Rosa Norwood, Mrs. Lizzie Carter, Rev. Ernest W. Williams, Rev. J. A. Briscoe, and a number of others. These were part of a committee that raised $223.1 to employ legal aid for the accused man. The Baltimoreans present: Dr. J. G. Martin, Rev. A. L. Eileby, Rev. Custas, Lawyers George L. Pendleton, George W. P. McMeech, Mrs. Cecile Culenin and Mrs. Blake. Rev. W. A. C. Hughes, of Washington, on of the secretaries for the Mission Board of the Methodist Episcopal Church, who came from the South to testify in behalf of Snowden, was also present. The fact that the woman's body was examined week after her death, which was several days later, was further evidence given of himself by Snowden, a swell as the arguments made by the attorneys for the defense and their main witnesses made the man's guilt seem almost impossible. Judge Dunnen was at all stages of the trial and this was shown when some whites attempted to applaud when State's Attorney Hartman pictured Snowden in black terms. The Judge simply threatened to put the offenders out if they repented the offense. I heard the testimony of Mary Perkins, the little Sisso boy, who does not look a day over a years of age, though they say he is eleven Dr. Hopkins, Dr. Curr, Dr. Joyce and tia Buren. Their testimony, to me, did not seem convincing, especially when it is considered that a man's life is at stake. I through all the trial, remaining until the last arguments had been made, hoping for the man's acquittal, but certain that appeal would be made for a new trial if conviction were secured on such evidence—especially when it meant the taking of a man's life.

That is according to Mr. Shakespeare. But this isn't the question that is agitating certain Earlmouth society folk, for Dame Rummer has it that one of the city's most eligible damselfly, a teacher by profession, has tired of the dull routine of the school room and has assumed the more exciting and exacting duties of double blossom. Is she, or isn't she married? That is the question. Ceremony being right to knight, but there's the rube—the she won't call. Maybe military regulations won't let brides of soldiers admit the impendment. However, while the lady may be keeping a great secret and just having a little fun at the expense of her friends, the teaching circle has stirred to its depths as seldom as she. Who is she? On, she is just one of the nicest, sweetest and most amiable of a large lot of the sweetest, nicest and most amiable Earlmouth girls. REV.

DRUID HILL AVE. AT BIDBLE ST 33rd Anniversary of the Foundery of Sharon Baptist Church and of the Pastorate of Rev. Wm. M. Alexander, D. D. A red letter day, will be marked in the history of the Sharon Baptist Church next Sunday when the 33rd year of its founding and the 33rd anniversary of the pastorate of Dr. West M. Alexander will be sitting congratulated Dr. Alexander's position and with the Sharon Baptist Church as stillly unique one. The church will be founded under his church and led by him, and it is a holy pastor. From an mission he has been with the church all his life and even ing all its pasture, it must reach the point of the base of the largest and most nourishing churches of the city. Ever progressive, and on the lootout not only as to the best way to provide for the present needs, but for the coming demands of other days, Dr. Alexander has led his people from the small place of their beginning, to a larger place with increased accommodation, and then to the place they now occupy, of simplest accommodations and largest facilities for the do- [Name] ing of the best church work for generations. The fact that a man serves one people continuously for 33 years is itself a commendation, to which more words and complements can add. A teacher is a faithful, recognizes his honesty and great service to this city and community—as a pastor, newspaper editor, and citizen, and proud bears record in commendation of his life work among us. The congratulations of the Afro-American and all its staff are heartily extended to the church and pastor, on the long and pleasant relation that has existed between them, and express the hope that it is the will of Heaven that the relation shall continue for years to come. WOMAN'S HOME MISSION ARN SQUARE ARY SOCIETY MEET On Monday night, January 21, 1913, the Annapolis and Baltimore Societies of the Northwest Home Mission of the Washington Association held a meeting of the Washington Association and the missionaries in Annapolis. It was decided to hold a union prayer service on next Sunday night, February 3rd, at Centennial M. E. Church, Rte. Julius Carroll, pastor, and Mrs. Adaline Keys, president of the auxiliary. A membership campaign is being launched by both districts. AMES MEMORIAL CHURCH Notwithstanding the snowstorms and the exceeding cote weather, Ames Church was piping warm last Sunday and a splendid audience was out at the morning service as well as at the evening service. In the morning, the parish Rev. Albert A. Mitchell took for his theme "From Sacrifice to Service." He showed that God always provides a nation, race, or individual for the paths of suffering and sacrifice. At the evening service the G. U. O. of Moses observed their annual memorial service. Mr. Solomon Bond is the grand master of the Order. The sermon was delivered by the pastor, who gave a graphic description of the life of Moses. The sermon was followed with the memorial service. Following the call of each name the committee from the Tabernacle of which the deceased was a member, read fitting verses. Ames chairs render suitable music for the occasion. The Leaven and Sewell simal, had an excellent program. Ames choir has undertaken a splendid work—that of keeping before the public the best local talent with the object of creating a sleeper appreciation along musical lines. The first Sunday in January they presented Mime, Annie Hazelton Lee, soprano soloist, and Miss Martha E. Booze, elecutionist. This effort met with a splendid response. This Sunday at 4 o'clock Prof. Mason A. Hawkins, barytone, will be the soloist, supported by the choir of Sharp St. M. E. Church. The closing of one of the greatest and most successful revival seasons witnessed in this city for many years took place at Ebenezer A. M. E. Church the Friday evening of the 25th inst., when the great gospel team of this section, Dr. W. Sampson Brooks, of Bethel A. M. E. Church, and Dr. Chas. E. Stewart, of Ebenezer A. M. E. Church found that it had been instrumental in bringing many souls to the Master during the week. The highly instructive and spiritual preaching of Dr. Brooks and the soul-serving singing of Dr. Brooks to the most heartless shiners and sinners by the way side. The weekly meeting at Ebenezer was the culmination of a two-week's previous court conducted at by the same team assisted by Dr. A. Chary Powell, of New York, while the annuities of the two churches and the Drudg Hill Avenue Branch of the Y. M. C. A. Secretary S. S. Booker managing. At the close of the two weeks series at Bethel, hundreds had been converted, reclaimed and edified; many converts going to the twenty-four different churches of the several denominations of the city. Although at Ebenezer the campaign was without the assistance of Dr. Powell, the week's meetings with the most devoted and most gratifying results. The large chorus choir of one hundred voices, drawn from all parts of the city, and was conducted by Dr. Chas. E. Stewart, who also led in the congregational singing, gave music that was a spiritual delight to the large audiences. Again and again the audience was left wholly to the instruction and guidance of Dr. Brooks, who marked eloquence fed the people food front on high, and pro- such convincing power men and women from the house cried out, "What is he said?" To say that Baltimore touched by these meetings mildly. These meetings cess attending them socerted efforts on the pri-istry will do much to the temporal and spirit the people. At Sharp St. M.

Near Lafayette Market James H. Patterson, Proprietor. Jas P. Askew, Hair Cutting King; Mgr NEWS IN BRIEF $24.05, average cost of Board $8. In 1917 the average school term decreased to 7.83 months, the average monthly salary increased to $28.08, and the average cost of board increased to $16 per month. Special emphasis is laid on the fact that while the cost of living increased 100 per cent and more, the salaries of school teachers in the counties increased only by 16 per cent. Some counties are actually paying lower salaries this year than they paid twenty-five years ago. In Kent and Calvert counties, where school teachers receive on the average $17 per month, only one dollar remains for all the necessities of life, clothing, lodging, recreation etc., after the monthly board has been deducted. The Association is asking the legislature for a minimum salary of $800 per year, about $1.60 per teaching day—a meagre enough salary in these days when the poorest kind of manual laborer commands $2 to $3.50 per day. To inaugurate this scale, it has been estimated, will require an appropriation of $79,800. Governor Harrington has shown his willingness to work for better conditions in county schools by placing in the budget sufficient funds to practically cover the recommendations of the Association's Legislative Committee. The Association is active in its effort to bring conditions to the public notice. The fight of the county teachers for increase of wages is not their fight alone. It is the fight of every citizen in the state. These are our teachers, our schools and most important our boys and girls. Maryland voters need to see to it that their representatives in the legislature know their wishes, when this bill comes up. THAT "HELLISH" THIRD DEGREE If it is true, (and we have no reason to doubt its truth), the Third Degree was administered to Snowden by Marshall Carter, in order to make him, (Snowden) confess to the murder of Mrs. Brandon, it is time that the community be awakened to the fact that this is not the time nor place of the inquisition. It seems that the old adage: "every man is innocent until he is proven guilty," is no longer in vogue. There is absolutely no law to uphold Marshall Carter in this kind of reprehensible work, and the courts should by public opinion be made to put a stop to it. A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR THE NEGRO, WILL BE TAKE IT? Mr. Editor: That Ex-President Roosevelt owes his life to the courage and military bearing of the 20th Infantry and 9th and I am addressing this open letter, through you, to all of the threatened newspapers with whom your paper may have an exchange, with the hope that some general sentiment may be aroused in order to obtain a correct hearing for the Negro before the nations of the earth, as I consider this the psychological moment in the world's history for the Negro race throughout its breadth. A time when old pages as history are being filled out and new books of human achievement are being written; a time when the map of the world is being rewritten. This time in human blood. A time when new cities are to be erected upon the most horrible battlefields, screwed with the bleaching bones of all races. I ask, "Will the Negro lose this opportunity to himself forever?" My suggestion is, that a competent person be sent to the field of action at the front. A real news gatherer, a capable historian, to collect the facts and figures and prepare the same for publications at the close of this mighty drama; or, will he, as usual, content himself by letting others give what they choose and in a way that will not do justice to the ever faithful and heroic Negro fighter and when the facts appear, much distorted and lacking in main essentials, begin to kick and complain "they never give us what is due us." In God's name we must go using that unanimous term "give us the reason" and get the reason for yourself. Read history from the learning dawn of the Aryan branch of the human race, on through and including all other varieties, the Negro excepted and see how often you find the term "they don't give us;" but have they got it? Your eyes will answer you. Now, the great question is "Who is who?" When I began to think about the matter, I admit I had some worry concerning this side of R, but such was only for a moment, as my mind began to scan the field of my limited acquaintance. I found that I had some trouble to stop the flow of ready writers rushing in upon me, all of whom, in my mind would do the world credit and the race a service that God and God humanity could approve. Now just for your benefit, let us go over a few names whom I consider well qualified for the task indicated: District of Columbia—Prof. Wm. Jennifer Cemas Dept.; Dr. John B. Son of late Bishop Turner, War Dr. from Iowa, counselor of law; Mr. Mary Church Terrell, upon the platform; Scholarly Kelly Miller, Dean of Howard University; Prof. John W. Cromwell, old historian. Pennsylvania—Dr. Wm. A. Singh, author of the "Aftermath of Slavery," R. R. Wright, Jr., great sociologist and editor of "Christian Recorder." Massachusetts—Wm. Monroe Trotter, fearless champion of human rights and editor of Boston "Guardian." Ohio—Harry Smith, great race champion and editor of Cleveland "Gazette." Ralph Tyler, ex-advisor of Navy. Maryland—John H. Murphy, generous and scholarly editor of Afro-American; Dr. Ernest Lyon, great diplomat; Dr. Chesa. Towler, author of "Romance of the American Negro." Illinois—Ida E. Wolls Carne, heroine and Esther of the race; Chas. Stewart, the old veteran reporter. Any one out of these few names could do, time and eternity, a good service in collecting facts about the Negro soldier in this the Armageddon of the world's battlefield. "Oino," says one, "We have capable men in the ranks over there, who will bring back all data necessary about the Negro soldier." Yes, just that sort of thing places us at a disadvantage about the real truth of the great battle. Said Juan, to how the Negro troops believed himself, in that awful hell of bullets, is best understood by the unpatriotic song "There'll be a hot time in the old town tonight." One no denies the fact There may be or there may not be any connection between the advertising columns of the Baltimore City newspapers and the editorial columns of the same, but there is at least grounds for a slight suspicion that there is seemingly an understanding between the two, somewhere. The fact that the anti-prohibition forces spend large sums in advertising with these papers, in some instances taking up the entire front page, and that the editorial page is also anti-prohibition, seems to show that there is symptoms of collusion somewhere between the two departments, and that the advertising department has an exceedingly strong leaning towards the editorial department, a thing very much to be regretted in any newspaper. Seldom has it been our furtune to pick up a newspaper edited by either race and see so many superlatives used about one man and that man the editor of the paper. Here are a few things, and these are by no means all that could have been picked out of the great mass. If this gentleman is all that is said about him, he is then without doubt a paragon, and all the rest of the editors might as well go away back and sit down. Here are a few picked at random: "Touch and brain of genius;" "Matchless man and genius;" "Silent and determined leader;" "Indomitable will and enthusiasm which knows no defeat;" "Defied and bore down all opposition;" "He not only had a clear conception of his purpose, but a will and energy to execute it;" "A man who can measure up to a great crisis and a great occasion;" "A constructive character and a great editor;" "A man that is in a class by himself;" "Greatest Negro in America today;" "A Moses for our people;" "One of the race's greatest sons." This is surely going some. AUTOCRACIES, GERMANY AND ELSEWHERE Peace between the Allies and Germany will still leave another autocracy that will need to be smashed before the world can actually know what world-wide peace means. "A Vision of World Wide Peace" was the subject of a prayer meeting talk recently by the Rev. Frances J. Grimke, pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church in Washington. Talk has since been issued in phamplet form and constitutes the most important document published since the beginning of the war. In part Dr. Grimke says: There is no hope of bringing about a world wide peace with one third of the human race feeling that it is its special prerogative to boss the other two thirds. Only when autocracy, whether represented by an individual, as in the person of the German emperor, or by a race or combination of races, is put down, will there be any world peace. President Wilson has given out that before there can be any peace German autocracy must be smashed. He seems to be entirely oblivious, however, of the fact that there is an autocracy in this country that needs also to be smashed before there can be any lasting peace at home; and that is the autocracy of white rule, which proceeds on the assumption that black men have no rights that white men are hound to respect. "When this war is over, and the world peace comes, in the meantime, let us hope there will be developed sense enough in the present administration, and in white America, to see that the old, stupid, absurd, un-christian idea of white rule must be given up, and the truer, saner, nobler principle of real democracy,—the rule of the people,—of all the people, is put in its place. Then the era of lasting peace, home and world wide will set in, and not until then. "Unfortunately, and I am calling attention to it with bowed head, and with a sense of shame for my country, it is here in these United States of America, that the most active and devilish propaganda of race hatred in all the world, is to be found. The very soldiers that we send abroad carry it with them, and are actively propagating it in foreign lands, unwilling to forget their prejudices even in the face of the dire calamities of the hour—the awful ravages of war. Modern civilization seems to be going to pieces, and yet this devilish spirit seems to thrive in the midst of the awful catastrophe. There can be no peace at home, nor can there be any worldwide peace until this damnable race-hating spirit is suppressed is put in the category, and under the same ban as German Militarism." At bottom, Dr. Grimke would have us believe that this is a war of one kind of autocracy against another kind. In such a war God could be on neither side. In truth, says the Doctor, God is permitting the war for three purposes: 1, of settling accounts with these oppressors of, and aggressors upon the rights of the weaker and darker peoples of the earth: 2 of causing these white oppressors to see themselves as they now see Germany in the light of the principal upon which they themselves have been acting for years: 3 of shocking the moral sense of mankind so, that when it recovers, "it can never again settle down to look with complacency, as it has in the past, upon the disposition wrongfully to treat any race or class." Nowhere in all the documents these times have produced have the moral principles involved in the war been more clearly and convincingly stated than in this Thursday evening prayer meeting talk. Dr. Grimke's arguments are as simple and as clear as the Sermon on the Mount, and as unanswerable. The Maryland Colored State Teachers' Association, which is making splendid efforts to secure an increase of salaries for county teachers, submitted to Governor Harrington, and the members of the state legislature a report on conditions, which is worth more than passing notice. The report shows that in 1892, twenty-five years ago, the average school term was 8.72 months, average monthly salary. than his President Roosevelt owes his life to the courage and military bearing of the 24th Infantry and 9th and 10th Cavalry and yet the above song is the most striking incident that gained currency after the war. Have not the white people equip soldiers at the front, scholarly and otherwise? Did not the colleges an universities of the Western world deplete themselves to furnish soldiers. Have not the white men the highest honors on the battlefield, in point rank, and are they not scholarly. Yet the white folks keep a complete staff of news-gathering and have special positions employed us historiographer gathering acts and figures relative, the main, to the deeds of valor committed by the white soldier. I am not marrow in this, for the story of four previous wars, the view of which the Negro helped to gain only here and there we find seized and bits of stories that go to do to honor and encourage his race to stigge for the goal. Concluding that President's dream might come that this is to be the world's last can the Negro lose to himself this opportunity of furnishing the world proper record of military achievement? It would be a chance too go for the Negro to lose in the close hours of human conflict. One word, with reference to financial end, for it would email my expense, but the race has the motif and it is only a question of procrastination in a suitable organization. Out of a body of ten million people a per-capita donation of one or two would finance the proposition. The fact in itself makes the plan too plea for question. Addressing this prayer to the of the race, I trust that action may once follow. I am yours. For God and the RE KEV.

He also mentioned the fact that many churches had made generous contributions toward the $10,000 being raised for recreation among colored soldiers. Dr. Hughes arrived from New Orleans a few days ago, being summoned by a telegram from Washington telling him that his wife, was ill with pneumonia. As she is a greatly improved condition now, he expects to leave for Palatki. Fla., next Tuesday. ARTHUR HOLLY INJURED Arthur Holly, aged 13 years, was painfully injured Tuesday afternoon while coasting. In company with a number of other boys, he was descending the hill on Dolphin street near Pennsylvania avenue, and on reaching the corner, was hit by a passing automobile. He was hurried to the Maryland General Hospital where his injuries were treated. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS In the February Crisis Dr. W. E. B. D. DuBois, the Editor, contributes an article under the title, "The Shadow of Years," which is an autobiographical sketch of himself written upon the approaching 50th anniversary of his birth. The Sigchch is written in Dr. DuBois' admirable and imitable style, clear, convincing, in purest English, with force and dignity, showing the earmarks of scholarship and the highest culture. Dr. DuBois gives a brief, but beautiful description of the place of his birth, and tells in a fascinating way of his early ancestors, recording faithfully, some of their faults and weaknesses, as well as some of their many qualities and virtues. Tracing his descent from a line of men and women, out of whose loins, any one may be justly proud, to have come, he tells us he was "born, with a flood of Negro blood, a strain of French, a bit of Dutch, and thank God with no Angli-Saxon," he describes his childhood days, which he says "were happy," notwithstanding many of them were spent amid humble surroundings, yet not without the devotion and loving care, and eosiness of home, the fruit of a mother, who can and will make the lowliest place a home and all that the world knows. H fr w tl dh w Ca Dr. Dubois early life were said they were, and not as they might have been, had the suppositions he raises been in their stead, to the very end that he might achieve what he has. All things in our lives are the little things, the things that seem of least consequence, as well as the great and important things that make for the most, are all under the guidance of an eye more far seeing than our own, and directed by a will wiser and more unerring than ours, and controlled by a hand mightier than man's. Of course while God's hand is in all our fairs—we are to do just as Dr. DuBois finally did, not hesitate or waiver go doggedly to work and so accomplished in a measure our salvation, in whatever sense the term salvation may be understood, by our work." Yet not imaided, guided and helped by the all seeing eye and unfailing hand. The whole sketch is fascinating, encouraging, inspiring, and will prove helpful if carefully read and studied, especially by the struggling, rising youth of our race. Speaking of the criticisms which have come to him in his life work in spite of his efforts to do what he thought best for his people—to give credit, wherever due for good work done to be free from enmity and petty jealousnesses—we would say that in this no strange thing has come to Dr. DuBols. All who have assumed the roll of leadership in any and all movements for race betterment and uplift have passed the same way, and all yet to come must pass that way—until the time shall come when mankind shall be “of purer eyes than to behold evil.” "AMERICANIZING WASHINGTONIAN'S in the report of the Executive Committee of the Joint Committee on National representation for the District of Columbia made last week there were some sane and just reasons outlined—why, as it has been put, Washingtonians should be Americanized. estitute the only continuity, all the qualities necessary citizenship with all the rights thereon, "in all the ex- continental United States representation in the department.

February number of the American Magazine contains a most interesting, illuminating, and inspiring article under the caption "The Sword of Jesus" by Harold Bell Wright, now, the most widely read author in America. It being said—that in less than fifteen years Mr. Wright has written seven books, and over seven millions copies of these books have been sold "A world's record. No writer has ever before touched it." The author, Harold Bell Wright, we learn, from what we have read of him tried several things before he found himself, and what seems without doubt, to be truly his life work—about ten years ago—painting and decorating, landscape painting and then preaching, since when he has given his whole time to writing. The article which appears in the February issue of the American is Mr. Wright's first contribution to any magazine. The article opens with a question which Mr. Wright proposes or submits to Jesus of Nazareth, at this time filled for all mankind with the largest and most lasting possibilities, namely "Jesus if you were here now in the flesh as you were in Galilee, what would you do in the matter of the war?" He tells us, "to reach the grain of the answer to this question we must in our thinking cast aside the theological husks that too often hide the humanity of Jesus"—A distinction must be made between the Son of Mary and the Son of God—Jesus must be thought of "as the Man of Galilee, not as the Messiah of Hebrew prophecy and Christian theology"—to be asked of Jesus, as living under the world conditions peculiar to their days. He tells us that "whatever the combinations, political, or others, that called the nations to arms, no diplomatic fog now clouds the reason of the world's mighty struggle." The issue is made plain and clear by all the desolations wrought on land and by all the honors on the seas; and the purpose of the world's conflict now going on is proclaimed in the "unspeakable outrages committed." "Out of the flaming hell of war itself the cause has defined itself, and that cause is as world old as the truths taught by the Maui of Callee, and to which he certified, by his death upon the cross." Mr. Wright urges that Jesus kindled the fires of this world war when he contended for the divine rights of humanity, against those who falsely claimed "a divine right to oppress and enslave humanity." The fire kindled by the teachings and life of the Nazarecn could not be put out, but has spread until now the nations of the world are afame, in a war not for conquest of territory, or power or revenge or hatred, but a war for humanity as such—a war for the deliverance of the world from physical, mental and spiritual slavery." The United States as a Christian nation founded upon Christian principles, cannot do less, when the very principles upon which our government exists are threatened and endangered, than to rise with all our might, and do our part along, with those who battle for human liberty and humanity. With such grounds for our participation in the war—with the end we have in view in this conflict, we are to answer the calls made upon us with the best we have to give. With this line of reasoning throughout his most excellent article Mr. Wright, seeks to establish the fact that Jesus of Nazareth would answer the question as to what he would do in the present war, just as we Americans are doing, as we draw and wield our sword in defense of humanity—for democracy and liberty, and so he concludes that the sword of America is the Sword of Jesus—and the Man of Galilee is at the head of our forces—inspiring with his presence and promise of helpfulness. "Lo I am with you always." The article is certainly helpful and encouraging, and cannot fall to enthuse and inspire every American reader. WILMINGTON Wilmington, Md., Jan. 31.—Dr. J. U. King, of Ezion M. E. Church, is receiving congratulations on all sides for a very timely sermon delivered on last Sunday morning, subject "The World War—Negro Responsibility—Real Democracy."

By their son and daughter, Samuel Carroll and Rosa Driver MURPHY—In memory of our mother, Mrs. Martha E. Murphy, who on February 6, 1915, was separated from us for a short while. Sleep on, beloved, sleep and take thy rest; Lay down thy head upon the Saviour's breast; We loved thee well, but Jesus loves thee best. Good-night! Calm is thy slumber as an infant's sleep. But thou shalt wake no more to toll and weep: Thine is the perfect rest, secure and deep— Good-night! Until the shadows from this earth are cast! Until He gathers in his sheaves at last: Until the twilight gloom be overpast— Good night! Until the Easter glory rights the saints; Until the dead in Jesus shall arise; And He shall come, but not in towly guise— Good night! Until made beautiful by love divine Thou in the likeness of thy Lord shall shine. And He shall bring that golden crown of time— (Good-night) Only "good-night," beloved, not "fare- well!" A little white, and all His saints shall dwell In hallowed union indivisible— Good-night! Until we meet again before His throne. Clothed in the spotless robe He gives His own. Until we know even as we are known-- Good-night! THE FAMILY "If the spirit ever gazes, From its journeying, back; If the immortal ever traces Oer its mortal track; Wilt then mol, Odour wife, meet us Sometimes on our way; And, in hours of sadness, greet us As a spirit may" By her husband.

MRS SABAR LASSANE THE funeral service of Mrs. Sarah Lassane was held Tuesday, January 29th at the residence of her brother, Rev. J. G. Martin, Presiding Elder of the Baltimore District. 1155 N. Carey street. Mrs. Lassane died Sunday, January 27th at 11:39 a.m. She was formerly of Charleston, S. C., and came to Baltimore last August to make her home with her brother.

She never rallied and grew weaker daily until she succumbed to the dreadful disease. The ministers of the Baltimore Preachers' Meeting with Rev A. J. Mitchell, of Ames Church Episcopal Church, conducted the service. Many expressions of sympathy were given and many flower designs presented. The remains were placed in the vault at M. Zion Cemetery for interment when the weather permits. REV. WESLEY F. COTTON The Rev. Wesley F. Cotton, husband of Jennie E. Cotton, and son-in-law of Mrs. Mary F.

DONT MESS WITH GREASY OINTMENTS Noxzema Is So Much Nicer, Cleaner And Quicker, You Can "Feet-It-Heel." REV. DR. FAULCGNER, 1851 St. Paul street, Baltimore, says: "NOXZEMA surpasses anything I have used for any irritation of the skin." Apply a little NOXZEMA SKIN CREAM to that injured or diseased skin, relief comes immediately and you do not have to bother with a bandage. For NOxzema is not greasy, and is absorbed right into the skin, making it feel like velvet. Try it in place of your favorite salve, ointment or cold cream; you will find it much nicer, cleaner and better or your money will be refunded. Noxzema is sold in 25c, 50 and $1.00 jars at drug stores, or postpaid by the Noxzema Chemical Company. 1817 North Charles street—Advertisement.

Attempt to force Mr. G. David Houston into a separate car on Thursday night of last week, was frustrated by Mr. Houston's insistence upon sitting where he pleased. A protest to the Railway Company's General Office, located in the Terminal Station, elicited the following reply. Mr. Houston is well known in this city, where he was head of the department of English in the High School several years ago. He is now professor and head of the Department of English in Howard University in Washington. The letter follows:— Mr. G. David Houston Howard University Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: "Your letter of the 11th instant is hereby acknowledged, and in reply wish to state that since the supposed dry law went into effect in Washington on November 1st, there has been a tremendous travel of colored people, who carry empty bags and suitcases to Baltimore, and return to Washington laden with whiskey. During the time they are in Baltimore, and in some instances on their way back to Washington, they become beastly intoxicated, and it was only in the interest of common decency that there was an attempt made to segregate this crowd. Your letter, of course, would indicate that you were not to be classed with this type of whiskey messenger. The actions of the three drunken white men should not have been permitted by our conductor, and we will take the matter up promptly.

For this reason, if no official Line should cooperate with the city and Washington in the effort to discourage breach of the peace over to the law for punishment, no sympathy with drunken passerspace and make themselves a gag. We have any sympathy with a grave good order for the safety of its electric Line desires to eliminate the patrons complain, it is proceeded when it begins by putting all colored white people in another.

As stated in last week's Afro-American, the car in which Mr. Houston returned to Washington was kept in continual excitement by three hilariously drunk white men and two drunk white women. The rear car into which the colored passengers were expected to ride carried a clergymen and several soldiers from Camp Meade, all self respecting colored persons, none of them either beastly or hilariously drunk. On the other hand the Afro-American knows of an instance where sixty passengers on a W. B. and A. car were arrested for carrying whiskey into Washington, and fifty of this number were white men. For this reason, if no other the officials of the Electric Line should cooperate with the police departments of this city and Washington in the effort to preserve good order and to discourage breach of the peace by turning the offenders over to the law for punishment. The Afro-American has no sympathy with drunken passengers who disturb the peace and make themselves a general nuisance. Neither ought we have any sympathy with a company that cannot preserve good order for the safety of its passengers. If the Electric Line desires to eliminate the condition or which many patrons complain, it is proceeding in the wrong direction, when it begins by putting all colored people in one car and all white people in another. In the first place, respectable colored people won't stand for it. They have no more desire to ride with disorderly drunken people than other respectable folk have. In the second place it would seem a vastly more logical way of attacking the problem if the company would refuse to haul any "beastly drunk" and disorderly passengers. If, however, it still desires to earn these drunken folks' dollars, why not utilize the rear car for them exclusively. Call it the "Drunk's Special," and then force both white and colored tipsters into it. All white people are not orderly and respectable, and neither are all colored people. The line of division is between drunk and sober, respectable and not respectable, and not between colored people and white people. It is to be hoped that the W. B. and A. will see this.

This month, if paper can be procured, at least 70,000 copies will be printed. The monthly printing bill of the Crisis is a little over $1,500. With the increased circulation, the printing bill rises proportionally. This hugh sum of money amounting to at least $18,000 every year is the largest single expense item of the Crisis budget. Apparently there is not a colored firm in New York with equipment enough to handle this printing work, although there are colored plants in Philadelphia, Baltimore and Washington, which could easily print and distribute the Crisis. So it happens that these hard earned dollars of colored subscribers continue to flow into the till of a white printing company. Dr. DuBois and Mr. Dill have been too busy getting out the copy for the Crisis, to be able to give that to the printing of it. Several colored companies in the South have made bids for the Crisis only to receive word from Dr. DuBois that the Crisis cannot be printed outside of New York. Murray Brothers of Washington, are the latest bidders for the Crisis to have received this word from the Crisis management. In the interest of race advancement, the Afro-American hopes that the Crisis will speedily develop its own plant or else suffer the slight inconvenience of coming to Philadelphia, Baltimore or Washington to be printed. Mr. Emmet J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War was in this city recently, and was expected to address the pupils of the High School. The address did not take place as scheduled because the High School building is without an auditorium large enough to accommodate the students in assembly. The Pennsylvania Avenue A. M. E. Zion Church, located a half square from the school building is usually used for such purposes, but the shortage of coal prevented the heating of the church. This calls attention again to a very serious condition in the High School. Hardly one of the teachers and pupils who attended the High School 15 years ago expected to remain in the structure at the corner of Pennsylvania avenue and Dolphin street another five years. The school was then inadequate for the needs. The assembly hall, the business classes, and a large part of the domestic science classes were held then in temporary structures outside the main building. Altho the plans for a new high school were then submitted and in the process of adoption, the old high school and its temporary quarters still serve today—the ancient and antiquated institution it was more than a decade ago. This is no time to call attention to person or persons to blame for these conditions in the High School, whether they be the city, the school management or the community. Certainly as the condition continues no one but the community itself is to bear the burden. Now is the time to get busy and see that the negligence is remedied. Every year longer that the Colored High School stays in its present quarters adds to the eternal disgrace of the school system in Baltimore and the colored people of the city. Perhaps colored group principals or supervisors of colored schools are needed as requested by petitioners recently. The main need however, is a colored member on the Board of Education, and a colored member in the City Council, who have the confidence of the people, and can do something else besides talk. If the colored people had representatives in the City Council, and on the School Board, we would have had the new High School long ago. The city would then be in a position to demand colored supervision of colored schools. Getting a member of the race on the School Board would entail a bitter fight, yet it ought to seem evident that none of the reforms needed are going to be brought about until the colored people go on the warpath. ```markdown ``` OUR SEVEN "LESS" DAYS I stay from church each Sabbath day Because "is churchless Sunday" I do not wash till Tuesday comes Because "is washless Monday" No meat on Tuesday do I eat Because the day is "meatless."

His beloved one hung up on the awful possibility—"can't you hold out till we get enough coupons for that dining room rug?" MR. HOOVER PLEASE NOTICE The boarders were dropping hints as to the kind of dinner they'd like to have on Christmas Day. But the landady was astute. "What's the difference," she asked the solemn man at the end of the table, "between a turkey dinner and a mess of stewed prunes?" I don't know," he answered, suspicious of some entangling conundrum. "Does nobody know?" she asked, looking round the table. They all professed ignorance. "In that case," she said, "I may as well serve prunes at Christmas and save money." A COAL STORY Two colored men were on a street car the other night discussing the coal weather and the coal shortage. "My boss sent me to a white man's house with two tons of coal," said one. "The hill leading to the white man's house was so slippery that I went to the man and told him that. I would have to take the coal back to the yard, as the horses could not make it." "If you do I will 'shoot you,' said the white man. I have been waiting for the coal for two weeks." "A passing automobile was secured, the horses unhitched and coal deposited on the white man's door, thus preventing the leaking shot." Amid the hearing that followed a white passenger was heard to say: "I would have shot him myself if he had taken that coal back." TRAVELING SOUTH "My, what a relief!" signed Misses Margaret Howard and Sallie Lambert, as they aligned from a train at Union Station Sunday afternoon, following a three-day trip from New Orleans. "The our employer tried hard to get us Pullman reservations," they said, "but could not. We had to make changes at West Point, Miss, and Atlanta, and were compelled to ride in a "Jim Crow" coach all the way, and that without taking our clothes off." "How about getting your meals?" was asked. "Meals! Why we brought along a little lunch from New Orleans, but that was exhausted when we got to Atlanta, where we took a train over the Southern for home, after a twelve-hour layover." "Look at these samewiches," said Miss Lambert, as she exhibited some, the bread of which was about five inches square. They were bought in the "Jim Crow" dining room of the Union Station, at Atlanta." "Why even the porters slighted us," they chirred, "and one went so far as to take away a pitcher of water he had brought us, when he found us talking to some male passengers." "Travel for colored people is certainly bad in the South," they said, "and that makes us more than glad to get back home, where such grave inequalities and discriminations do not exist." Others who travel on Southern roads tell a similar story, unless they are carried along by white people as servants. Then they can travel in Pullman cars. WILMINGTON Wilmington, Del., Jan. 24—The services at Ezion M. E. Church were unusually interesting all day Sunday. In the morning the pastor preached, Dr. King used for his subject, "The Sun of Righteousness." The audience was both large and appreciative. Another large congregation was present again Sunday evening to hear and see the illustrated story of "The Wayward Boy" by Rev. George Olney of New York. One of the finest banquets given in Wilmington for a long time was tendered the finance committee of Ezion M. E. Church by the official board of said church on Friday last. The guests of honor were Rev. Dr. and Mrs. J. U. King, Mrs. Fanny Frazier, Miss Gertrude J. Henry, Miss Lillian Clark, Mrs. Adelle Murray, Miss Alva Mae Richardson, Mr. William Matthews, Mr. William Webb and Mr. Jos. Clark. The banquet was a seven course turkey dinner. The committee serving consisted of Messrs. Brown, Kyler, Ayers, Kennedy, Frazier and Young. The banquet was prepared by Mrs. Mary Brown, Mrs. Jenie Jobes and Mrs. Mainda Stevenson. After responding to various toasts which was indulgee in by all, the happy party was dismissed with a soot. Miss Wille A. Elllett of Salisbury, Md., spent the week one in our city in the interest of the I. Q. of St. Luke. While here she stopped at Ezion M. E. parsonage. The wife of President Brown of the A. U. M. P. Church was buried last week from the A. U. M. P. Church of this city. Many ministers and their wives from that denomination were present and took part in the services. The principal eulogy was delivered by Rev. J. H. Bell. COOPERATION On a Southern plantation were two small Negro boys, Berry and Wesley, who did the milking. Wesley was industrious, but Berry was lazy and always tried to make Wesley do the work. One evening the lady of the house went out to the kitchen and took Berry, have you brought the milk in? "Yes'm, I fetched it in, didn't you Wesley?"—Ladies' Home Journal. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS REV. WILLIAM H. WEAVER, D. D., Contributing Editor KEEP THE CHURCHES OPEN: The very trying conditions under which we are living in these days, when on account of the world war we are asked and urged to conserve, and economize in almost everything necessary to comfortable existence, some have suggested that conservation and economy might be helped by closing some if not all of the churches, especially during the scarcity of coal. And some have ventured the suggestion that Dr. Garfield's order restricting the use of fuel, ought to be, if it is not, applicable to churches. We do not see that there would be any thing gained either in the saving of fuel, or in anything else, material, or otherwise, in the closing of the churches. The loss by the closing of them would be far greater, in many respects, than any gain that could possibly come by, so doing. The church of Jesus Christ has been long recognized as a source of wealth to the countries in which it is established and flourishes, as well a great source and means of instruction and inspiration to all worshippers. By its teachings and through the inspiration it imparts, the church as perhaps no other institution among men fits and enables its adherents to face and meet life's problems, difficulties and hardships with a submissiveness and heroic spirit of sacrifice that is not only of great value to themselves, but relatively of as great value and benefit to all others. Our communities would be in the worse conceivable condition without the churches, and any discontinuance of their services, even for a brief period, would certainly be attended by that which would tend to more or less degradation and denigration. In no way that the question may be viewed, can we see that any good could come out of the closing of the churches. The churches have done and are doing their part in helping the nation in these crucial times by keeping afame the fire and spirit of patriotism and loyalty, and inspiring those under its sway and influence to the practice of self denial and sacrifice for the good of others. The value of the church as an important aid to the nation is recognized by the President and his administration. Called upon to give information and instruction in the matter of Liberty Loans, and Red Cross work the church responded heartily and cheerfully, and no doubt contributed, in no small way, to the success of those most important undertakings. And now the Treasury Department is appealing to every clergyman occupying a pulpit to do his bit in helping to induce the people of the country to consider it a privilege, as well as a duty, to pay an income tax not heretofore required, or demanded, that the nation may be the better prepared and qualified, financially to win the war. Let the churches by all means be kept open, and continue their services—And let the preachers use the services to promote by instruction, guidance and inspiration the loyalty of the people to our nation. The issuing of the order by Fuel Administrator Dr. Garfield, cullalling industrial use of fuel, provoked at first almost wide spread confusion—general dissatisfaction and severe criticism, but following this, as the order is being compiled with and the spirit of cooperation by most of those, principally effected is more and more manifested, the wisdom of Dr. Garfield in giving the order, and the beneficial effects of the same, are clearly seen—in the clearing of the transportation lines—in the rapid coaling of the great fleet of merchant vessels that have been long held up for lack of fuel—in the delivery of coal to many homes in the cities where the need has been greatest, and therefore in the added comfort of the people. We are quite sure that with the general compliance of the fuel restriction order and with hearty cooperation on the part of all concerned, with the authorities, in carrying out the provisions which in their wisdom and best judgment are made to relieve embarrassing situations, when the five days of the order's operation have expired, all will have cause to rejoice at its issuing and in its most practical and beneficial effects. The American people are most fearful of what they claim are their rights and privileges, and are ever ready to complain against anything which looks like an abridgement of the same. It is all right, to guard and preserve one's rights and privileges, but in doing so we must not fail to remember and to keep clean Farmer Bilkins—Thet 'ere pig I bought from 'ere last week 'as been and died! Farmer Giles—Wull! wull! that's funny! 'E never cut any of them capers when I had um—Cassel's Saturday Journal. before us the fact that whatever may be our personal rights and privileges—they did just where the other fellow's begin. The decision of the Court of Appeals handed down at Annapolis Tuesday of last week in the case of the Most Worshipful United Grand Lodge F. and A. Masons of the State of Maryland Vs. Milton R. Lee to the effect that "the decree of the lower Court was reversed and the bill dismissed and appellee to pay costs above and below," puts an end, to a controversy, that to many who are most deeply concerned and interested in the general progress of the Masonic Fraternity among us, has been extremely painful and most unfortunate. It is not an unusual thing for men in all the walks and relations of life to have different views, as to what is the correct line of procedure in a given, or particular case. And it is not unusual for men with their several opinions and different views—to insist that they are right in their opinions and contentions, while those who differ from them are wholly wrong. And yet it does seem to us that members of the Masonic order, all of whom ought to be Christian men, actuated by Christian motives, and acting according to high, noble and correct principles—as well as should all other Christians, find a way of settling their differences, and misunderstandings, whether concerning matters pertaining to Masonic Jurisprudence or whatsoever else outside of the Civil Courts. There is sufficient direction, given in the Jurisprudence of Masonry, to guide every one who wishes to do the right thing, unselfishly, in the proper course to follow in all cases coming under such an one's purview, and calling for an action. Obedience to law—and submission to authority is required of all, and required until the laws—that may be objectional are either repealed or revoked—and the authority, which auch an one is unwilling to respect is removed. It is earnestly hoped that the ending of this case, with all that has been unpleasant and embarrassing in it, throughout the time it has been pending, will be as well, the end of our Masonic battles in Civil Courts, and that out of it, all in the least way concerned, will realize the force and truth of the Scripture, Masons use in part of their ceremonies, "How good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity." --- The final report of the Red Cross Committee on the recent membership campaign, revealed a result that was most gratifying to all interested in the most excellent work being done by this efficient organization. And it is especially gratifying to us to know that the committee recognizes, appreciates, and records the good work done by our people. The committee regards and denominates the campaign a banner one for us. There were 3300 new members reported as secured in Baltimore City and Baltimore County, through the efforts made and directed among our people by Dr. William T. Carr, Mrs. Fernandis, Miss Frances Murphy, Dr. A. L. Gaines, and the headwaiters of the hotels, as well as many others from a number of other sources. We who are identified with the colored people of this city and State, know of their patriotism and loyalty to the country, and their deep and active interest in everything that has for its object the help and beterment of mankind, and the generous response of our Baltimore City and Baltimore County colored citizens to this call for new members in the Red Cross is not surprising to us. The United States Fuel Administration has asked that January 30 next be observed at "National Tag Your Shovel Day." A tag day, differing from other tag days heretofore observed, in that Instead of asking for money contributions the school children will canvass the homes, and ask householders to save money—"save money for food for War Savings Stamps, for Liberty Bonds, and at the same time add to the Government's coal pile." The inducement offered to stimulate the children to, their greatest activity in the matter, is that the boy or girl tagging he largest numb of shovels in each community will be chosen to tag the shovel of the principal citizen. The heartiest cooperation should be given to this endeavor to help in these crucial times as has been given to other efforts to conserve and economize. SIGNS OF THE TIMES Empty coal bin.

Address communications to "Margeret Black's Corner" in the Afro-American, by Tuesday of each week. THE KIDDIES No school for two weeks; "Oh, dear me!" said one little mother, "what will I do. They will set me crazy. I had just gotten things straightened out, and that now I can start my sewing and get finished before the hot weather comes; but now it will take all my time to keep them straight." Six school kids, with jots of life and shat up in the house with not much play to occupy their minds is a last gem for most any woman. Then it is not do this or don't do that, or do keep quiet you will wake the baby or "oh, the noise will set me crazy," or Johnny or Mary do stop quarrelling until both mother and children's nerves are on an edge. Then too the kiddies have 'the dumps because they can't get out. There's nothing to do. They can't skate, because the ice is not safe. They can't make snowforts, snow-men or sled ride or coast because as Jack says "The snow is squishy." They can't read because as Ellen says, "We've read everything in those story books over and over and the books we got for Xmas gifts have been read twice already, what can a body do?" Mary can knit or crochet and Jack is knitting a scarf for the Red Cross. He says, "It's easy because it is just plain knitting and he doesn't have to remember but one single thing and that is to keep it straight by keeping the same number of stitches on his needle." There are still four more and Andy the youngest, is only seven. Suppose we hunt up something for them all to do. Jack gets tired of knitting and Mary also, but Mary is quite a big girl and can help to amuse the little ones and help you mother dear with your sewing. What's the use of having a tall fifteen year old girl if she can't help mother. When the dishes have been washed and put away and Jack has fixed the fires, let all help mother. Mary can run the machine or learn how if she does not know, thy Andy can pull basting threads out and Alice and Ellen can sew on buttons. Now there is "Lady Ned" the children call him because he does not like to do anything but cut out cards and furniture out of cardboard or read a book. He can help and the work will go much faster. He reads the Jimmy Coon Stories, he has in his scrap book, Andy, Alice and Ellen all like the Jimmy Coon Stories, especially the one about Peter Rabbit and Jimmy Quen, and I'm sure he enjoys the stories also. And Ned can read just lovely when he wants to do so. Then he can make up just the greatest war stories and Wild West stories, and the work would go along swimmingly. When there are no more buttons to sew on or basting to pull, Ned can show Alice and Andy how to make animals for a Noah's Ark. As a whole lot more fun to make cardboard toys than to play with store toys, and Ellen and Ned and Jack who love to paint can color the animals and Jack can make the Ark out of a big postboard box and as they are finished they can be stood in line and be ready for the march into the Ark. The goats' body can be left white and shaded with gray. The elephant painted with gray mixed with brown. And you can mix a little brown with Chicago, Ill.—"It doth not yet appear what it shall be." This is what seems to be foremost in my mind as I sit down to write to you this week and take my pen in hand. I hope that you are well and done. I will retrieve you will pick you considering just what I am thinking about. Did you ever see times like this before you have been in the world? You go to bed at night and get up the next morning and get hold of the paper and there is something new under the sun. Of course if you have never, passed through war times you can't understand, yet none of us have ever passed through war times like these. Me and General Grant did not have these times to contend with when we were making things get out of our way and pushing to the event. We just cleaned up us we went along. Now we are facing a war, the like of which the world has never seen, and I hope will never see again. I hope this will end wars for ever and ever. There is but little said about we old men who fought in that other war, but our sons are going to make the world take notice of them. When the history will be written, our names will be written there. It will take the united strength of all Americans to win this war, backed up by all England and France and as many others who will join us. That we are going to win, there is no question, for we actually know how to win, and if we don't win every one of us will report to God the reason why. It seems that we are going to have to go hungry a little before this is over, and then now we are walking around in Chicago with money in pocket and can't get anything to eat. How do you like this? Well, I should say we are walking around in the cold and can't get cool. Wonderful age. In my last letter I told you that I had been to Baltimore, and even made a trip to Philadelphia, and there I had the pleasure of coming in touch with one of the leading young men of this race of curs. H. K. Lowber, of the Pennsylvania road. He has been there for a number of years, and has so conducted himself and looked after business, until they all think well of him, and they have a high regard for his word, and his name on any your gray in painting the camel. If mother has some tracing paper she can show the kiddies how to transfer the outline of animals to the card board or stiff paper, and all should be traced on paper that is folded in half and it will stand alone. It will be lots of fun and Ned who has read all sorts of animal books and has just gotten thru with Kipling's Jungle Book will be able to not only tell you all the kind of animals that will be needed for the Noah's Ark, but will be sure to see that there are enough animals for a circus and a jungle. Then Alice's paper doll can be opened and a Mrs. Noah and Mr. Noah and the children can be found and dressed up to learn to march into the piece or looking glass will make a very watery looking flood. A nice big potato, raw or cooked will do for Mr. Aurat, but be sure no one is hungry—because they might eat the potato if it is a baked one. Or perhaps Mary who is good at drawing can draw a mountain on a piece of paper and paint it so it will look very real. Another day when work is over have a spelling match, and have as prizes a nice big red apple and an orange for the boy and the girl who can spell the most words. Another day have an exhibition and see who can recite the most poem, or sing the best song, and mother and baby Ann be the audience. Try it mothers and see if the kiddies won't be less trouble to you, and you'll get your sewing done without any trouble and your house-work with the willing help of each tiny pair of hands a pleasure and not a burden-some task. FADS AND FANCIES Fuds and fondles come and go; they'd demand for awhile, then are again brought forth. This is especially true of colored and white embroideryers. It has been Irish crochet, then file crochet, then plain crochet. Now it is hack again to our great grandmother's day. Colored embroideryers, knitting, rug rugs, (plaited, knit, crocheted and woven, what odds so it is a rug rug) crazy quilts, sewed on quilts and placed quilts. If you have an old-fashioned motto, some colored embroideries, a rug rug, a paired rug, an old quilt or crocheted bed spread, bring it to light and use it. You'll be right in style. Then enamel beds—who wants a brass bed, if they have an old-fashioned muggy, walnut or oak bed. Our grandmothers and great grandmothers used to make these things years ago by the light of the candle, those long winter evenings. Those were the colonial days and rug rugs and rug carpets were the fashion. But along came another period and supervised these rugs and they became old-fashioned. For a long time, those who had them, hid them in the garret, but now they can be brought forth, for the pendulum has swung to the other side again, all the swell shop windows are showing these old-fashioned rug rugs. The children can help to make these rug rugs. It is easy work for the idle hour. Why sell your rugs to the rug men, when you can so easily fashion a rug yourself. The rugs can be torn into strips an inch and a half in width. kind of paper will mean much around there in them diggings. After so many years in the Sunday School work at Bethel in Baltimore, I was sorry to learn that Superintendent Thaddeus Copeiand had retired, and is now doing private life. He is a member of the school and is on hand every Sunday, but is not at the head. You can depend on him for advice and help in the struggle. But I do not want to get off, because I am here in Chicago and I see what is going on here and how the people are suffering. The fall is full of men, some for murder, some for holding people up and some for orcer erimes, but they are all in the same fall and are passing through the same kind of experience. The lawyers are kept busy sending them to the "Peep" and getting some out. It is a nice thing to be connected with the courts. I got a notice to appear in the criminal court and sit on petit jury. I did not understand it, but thought I would just try my luck for fun or something else. I was in the Court presided over by Judge McGoory, and heard my name called. I was told with others to step out in the hall and fill out a paper, with the number of miles I had traveled and my name. This was done, then I was told to be seated. I sat around for a while, and was told I was excused until 2 o'clock. At 2 o'clock I sat there for a while and was then told that I was excused until 10 o'clock the next morning. While sitting down thinking I heard my name called and answered, and was told to take a seat in a big chair. They asked me some questions and after asking the same and other questions to three other men, the lawyer or some other fellow said "Tender these four." Another man asked as many if not more questions, and he said "I will accept the four." Then four others, and four others, until they had gotten 12 of us. A man just stood and made speeches to us about the case we were to hear, and we listened, and then when we were through heard them ask questions to other people called witnesses, then they again made speeches to us calling us "If the court pleases and gentlemen of the jury." Then that judge read something to us, which he called a "charge." We were told to go forth select a foreman and when we had reached a verdict to knock. What do you think? They fellows had us really locked up and none of us could get out. Horrid things I thought. I was made foreman which is nothing less than chairman of the meeting, and then we began to dis- or two inches if you like small plains, and sewed together in any hit or miss fashion, and rolled into a ball or platted as they are sewed. Then the plait is sewed together, round or oblong or square just as you wish. If you want a rag carpet, tear your rags into inch strips and sew together; roll into a ball; each pound ball of rags makes one yard of carpet. Hunt up a carpet weaver and have it woven. Ask him to use a wool chain and your carpet will wear for years. The more colors of rags you have the prettier your carpet. Or you can have it woven all one color if you wish to match your blue or pink bed room. Old Blankets From your old blankets too much worn for your big bed, you may be able to cut enough for a baby's crib blanket. Bind the edges with white satin, feather stitched into place, and if the blanket warrants it, embroider a dainty wreath, with baby's initial in the center. Borax for Starch To do up a thin waist use borax instead of starch, and it will have the stiffness of new goods and will not muss so easily as if starch was used. Put one tablespoonful of common bulk borax to one quart of water. Wash and dry waist, wring out of the borax water, roll up for half an hour, then iron, and the waist will look like new. Ar: Economical Tip Father's best white shirts had become worn so badly around the neck and cuffs or lower part of sleeves that he refused to wear them any longer, so mother decided as some were real fine muslin and others lovely linen, she would make little Essie some dainty rompers as fine muslin and linen are so very high. The fronts of the shirts made the front part of the rompers and the back part of the rompers and the upper part of the sleeves the little sleeves. Out of the linen shirts she made three little linen dresses and embroidered the yokes and three year old Essie has as a dummy a set of rompers and dresses as any little girl need have for summer wear, and the only cost was thread and a bit of embroidery for 20 cents puffed up at a sale. WINTER SUGAR $ ^{b-} $ Select six large, bright red apples of even size, and cut a deep slice from the stem end of each. Scoop out pulp from the apples and put them in cold water, leaving them in water until needed. Cut some crisp celery into small pieces, also an equal amount of apple pulp, add to this the meat, of 12 English walnuts broken, mix with a stiff marmite. Each apple should be mixed, polished and filled with the above mixture. Line a serving dish with lettuce leaves, place apples in this and it is ready for the table. This is an economical one. Average cost 29 cents. Serves six persons. cens what our ears had heard, and then passed around ballots, and eight thought the Jew guilty and four thought him not guilty. We talked some more, and the next ballot brought seven not guilty and five guilty, then we talked some more, and another ballot eleven thought him not guilty, and after some more talk twelve declared that he was not guilty, and we all signed a paper which read "We the fury find the defender not guilty." It would take a whole paper to tell the experience I have had for two weeks, but I am now about through and ready to get out in the world soon. They are talking about General Conference here in Chicago, and the Bishops will meet next month to decide on some things, and the commission will meet to determine the place of meeting. This meeting will be held in Louisville. I don't know where the meeting will be held, but it will be some where in this country, perhaps in Chicago, or in St. Louis, but I wish Kentucky would rise up and ask for it. Dr. A. L. Graham is expected to be at the meeting, and he is a popular pastor of Baltimore. I want to go there and then I want to go to the National Negro Press Association. Perhaps I shall be there myself and let you know what all is going on. suppose you have noted the great importance of the Afro-American Ledger. They have more space, and you will hear from me just a little more in the future. I am always glad when I can subscribe myself to talking to you good people for I certainly enjoy this one thing. I am here with my private secretary taking lessons in political economy, Spanish, commercial geography, physician cultivation or something like that. I jump, and run, and throw the balls, and skin the cat on an acting pole, and the Lord knows what else she is having me do. It is not like learning Greek and Latin, so I am going right along, yet believe me I am getting straight tired of this kind of stuff. Give my love to all asking about me friends, and tell them I am well and doing the best I can, consulting the Food Administration and Fuel Administration and eating administration all the time, and I now have a few eatless, clothless, sheeled days. I am so glad I can save my shoes by leaving them off at will. I thinking about discharging my private secretary, because she is not teaching me the Latin words to hurl at the people any more. MME. E.

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 and mass attained and incurred tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Eayview, 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. Someone told me to the Kampfer, the Specialist, 1989 who street, Baltimore. Mc. 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 Base Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. November 17, 1917, I weighed and tip the scale at 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped. Mrs. Bertna L. Smith, Back River, Rosville P. O., Md. TO GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease. it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap, Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scap unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstore or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadade, mentioning the name of this paper.—Advt. FOR HAT RENOVATING Try C. THOMAS ..PRESSING CLUB..
