Ransome, of New York, was nominated as independent candidate for Congress from the 118th congressional district, Harlem, at a meeting under the auspices of the United Civic League at the Palace Casino Tuesday night. The election will take place on March 5th, and is a special one to fill vacancy caused by the death of Representative Murray Hibbert. The meeting was an enthusiastic one and was largely attended by both men and women. Dr. Ransom's speech of acceptance, which was delivered after midnight, electrified the audience, which had waited patiently to hear him. There are over 75,000 colored people in Harlem and the people have awakened to the possibilities of colored representation in the civic affairs in the community.

Atlantic City. Feb. 18—Mayor Harry Bacharach has issued a degrees forbidding the Colonial theatre to show the film play: "Birth Of A Nation." Elaborate phasus had been made by the theatre management to run the film for three days. The matter was brought to the attention of the mayor by public spirited colored citizens. He immediately sent the following message to the Colonial manager: "It has been called to my attention that you are thinking the "Birth of a Nation" at Atlantic City on February 14th, 15th and 16th. I desire to notify you that you should cannot present this picture at once, as it will not be permitted to be shown in this city. If you attempt to do so, I shall be compelled to the power vested in me as Mayor of the city and close your theatre. I do this not alone as Mayor of the city, but as vice president of the State Home Defense Committee." The matter was taken up by the Amusement Association which assured the Mayor that it did not wish to give any exhibition that might promote race hatred. Later on the theatre manager called on the Mayor and told him that although the theatre would lose hundreds of dollars they accepted his ruling and would not contest the case. ENTERTAI CAMP MEADE BOYS Washington, D. C. Feb. 20.—Proof orge Wm. Cook, assisted by Miss largent Rhodes, soprano; Miss Lena ersey, reader, and Mr. Tougee Deepe, violinist, of the Howard Uni- versity Conservatory of Music, entertained the colored soldiers in the Y. M. C. A. building at Camp Meade yesterday afternoon at six thirty o'clock. Dr. Ransomse is one of the best known men in the country. He is editor of the A. M. E. Review, and a public speaker of note. If he is elected he will be the only colored man in the National Congress and the first since George H. White, who was elected from North Carolina. Prominent and wealthy colored men in the Harlem district have pledged their support to the independent kickoff and it is predicted that a warm campaign will be wages. The platform on which Dr. Ransomse will wage his campaign contains just seven words: "Human Rights, Political Justice and Industrial Freedom." This is the first election held in New York since the passage of the amendment giving the suffrage to women, and as a consequence, the colored women will play an important part in the campaign. Wilson Asked to Save Lives of 24th Infantrymen Wilson Asked to Save Lives of 24th Infantrymen National Association Plenis for Executive Clemency in Case of Condemned Soldiers. Washington, Feb. 20—Following a meeting o the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., a letter was sent to President Wilson asking for clemency for the soldiers of the 24th Infantry, now under sentence of death. The letter reads in part: "The execution for the same offense of thirteen of the comrades of the men now under sentence of death, without review, or opportunity for review of the findings of the trial court, would seem to have satisfied every demand for justice. The world, history and posterity will not fail, in passing upon the guilt of these men and the punishment meted out to them, to take into account the great provocation in the face of which they acted they did. It is assumed that if they were properly and competently defended the record of the trial will show what this provocation was. "This unhappy affair had its incursion in the determination of an ver-humbling majority of the white people of the community in which it occurred, to treat colored people according to standards erected to maintain relations subsisting between master and slave, and not between freedom. "We respectfully ask that a record of the trial of these men be reviewed with this ultimate record, in the third gathering with the recordic facts contained in the record, or of such autonomy to call for judicial notice, and that the extreme penalty be not visited upon them." The letter is signed by Archibald H. Grimke, president of the local branch; L. M. Hershaw, chairman, executive committee and S. M. Hendrick, secretary. $400 Raised for Snowden Appeal $400 Raised for Snowden Appeal Liberal Response to Appeal For Funds to Help Carry Case of Convicted Man to the Court of That John Snowden must have every legal means exerted in his behalf was urged by speakers at a wellattended meeting at A. M. E. Church Tuesday night. About $400 was raised to aid in the condeputed man's defense. The speakers included: Rev. C. H. Stephan, who started the movement here for Snowden's defense; Rev. P. W. Wortham, D. R. Page, Capt. Coe, W. Brown, William H. Langley, Mrs. Jennie H. Ross and Archie Gray. It was hoped to raise $1,500 in order to aid Snowden; in making an appeal, and meetings looking toward securing the amount needed will be held in several city churches. There is a strong belief that John Snowden is innocent of the murder of Mrs. Lottie Brandon, that his conviction presupposes at his trial and that every effort must be made to secure him fair trial. Another meeting in the interest of the fund will be held at Sharp Street Memorial M. E. Church Monday night. BALTIMOREAN WINS PRIZE AT LINCOLN BALTIMOREAN WINS PRIZE AT LINCOLN The week of February 11 was a week of orations at Lincoln University. Besides the Annual Temperature Oratorial Contest, which is held on Lincoln's birthday by members of the sophomore class, there was a Junior Oratorial Contest which had been postponed from last year. The one out-standing fact is that students from Maryland won first places in each contest. Joseph N. Hill of the Baltimore High School, class 16 won first prize, fifteen dollars in gold, from the Temperature Oratorial Contest. His subject being "The Testimony of Literature." Mr. V. L. Athens, North Carolina recipient, Mr. Thomas H. Miles, of Cambridge, Md. won the first junior orator model, his subject was "Crime: Its Cause and Curse." Mr. L. S. Hart of Virginia was the recipient of the second medal. The orations of Messrs. Hill and Miles were marked by originality, choice of subject-matter and practicability. Their delivery was exceptional. We trust that they will continue to so hold the standards of Lincoln alumni in Maryland, and of Lincoln University. 15TH INFANTRY BAND SCORES "OVER THERE" New York, February 21.—A man who recently returned from France on the same vessel that brought General Kuhn, commandant at Camp Meade, Md., says that the band of the Fifteenth New York Regiment is being ionized in France. The band gave a concert in the public park at Lyons, the passenger says, and the populace surged around James Reese Europe, the conductor, and carried him about on their shoulders. When the American soldiers arrived at their leave center at Aix Le Belles France, last Friday night, they paraded through the streets of the town, led by the band. James Reese Europe is widely known as the conductor of the Clof Club of New York. P. A. to Send Correspondent To War Zone.

During the session many important matters affecting the colored journals came up for consideration and have been recommended by the Executive Committee. Among them was the sending of a Negro correspondent to the war zone to report first-hand information concerning the work of the Negro troops in France. The expense of this correspondent is to be prorated among the Negro newspapers, who will use their own code, service in cabling news to the United States after which it will be retransmitted through a recyclable news service. The appointment of Fannett J. Scott by President Wilson as special assistant to Secretary of War Baker was endorsed. A reservation was also passed condemning the action of the Republican National Committee at St. Louis for his failure to seat Perry W. Howard as member of the National Republican Committee after the facts had been shown that he had been elected by a majority in his state. A committee consisting of Cris J. Perry, of Philadelphia, H. A. Boyd, of this city and W. P. King, of Dallas, Texas was appointed to place at the disposal of Food Administrator Hoover, the immense circulation of the association, and to cooperate with the Government in educating their one million three hundred thousand readers on food conservation.

FUND-FOR SUN-PARLOR GROWING APACE The campaign that the colored section of the Maryland Council of National Defense is waging to raise $500 for the erection of a sun parlor at the base hospital at Camp Meade is meeting with success. At a meeting of the committee in charge of the campaign, held at Moses Hall Tuesday, it was reported that a number of lodges and churches had responded generously. Dr. Ernest zyon pointed out that a sun parlor would prove a boon to patients at the hospital and hurry their convalescence. Rev. Dr. W. H. Weaver is the special agent for the fund. Among the notaries named by Governor Harrington are the following: Mrs. Minnie Lewis, Miss Helen Fisher, W. L. Fitzgerald, J. Winfield Thomas, C. Marcellus Dorsay, Ernie Hancett and Carlos C.

Action Disappoints Many G.O.P. Action Disappoints Many Turning Down of Perry Howard Leaves Race Without Representation on the Republican National (STAFF CORRESPONDENCE) Washington, February 21. The news that Perry W. Howard, of Jackson, Miss, was defeated for national committee from this State at the meeting of the Republica National Committee, held in St. Louis last week, was disappointing to many. This is especially true when it was alleged that his defeat was largely due to the opposition of E. P. Borge, another Mississippi. Boize, who is a son-in-law of L. P. Montgomery, founder of the town of Mound Bayon, is alleged to have been opposed to Charles Banks, leading colored man in Mississippi, who kicked Howard. Boize made an argument, it is claimed, that made white members of the National Committee, vote in favor of Howard's white opponent-M. J. Mulvihill. The vote was a close one. Senator Pennesse, of Pennsylvania, and A. T. Hert, national committeeman, for Kentucky, being among those who voted for the white man. Ursus Cochling Shimmons, Walter L. Cohen, of Louisiana, R. R. Church, of Tennessee; Henry Lincoln; Johnson and several others stood out mentally for Howard Shimmons an eloquent appeals for fair play and the white national committeeman from Tennessee voted for Howard, saying, "No white man can stoop so low to take from a Negro a thing he has justly won." Republicans selected Howard several months ago when the white national committeeman from Stateville, Maryland, who was a candidate, instituted a contest. WITHOUT REPRESENTATIVE. The turning down of Howard leaves the race again without recognition on the National Committee. In the days when the late James Hill controlled affairs in Mississippi such a voting would have not been allowed to happen. Georgia was the last State; to have a colored representative on the National Committee. Some of the colored politicians there defeated Henry A. Rucker for the position, and elected Henry Plum, a Jewish resident of Savannah. When Plum did not suit them they turned him down and chosen Capt. Henry S. Jackson, the present representative for that State. Henry Lincoln Johnson, former Recorder of Decals here, was at the St. Louis meeting with Jackson's proxy. Perry Howard is well known around the country as a lawyer, fraternal man and politician. Washington, D. C., Feb. 19.—The 17th Provisional Regiment Association, composed of the colored officers who received military training at the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines, town, June 15 to October 15, 1917, has presented to Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, a heavy gold monogrammed ring, designed by the Association. The ring bears the insignia of the Association, surrounding the letters "U. S. A." Raised eagles, with the coat-forms of the United States, support the Seat on either side. By reason of the sentiment attaching to the gift and the fact that it will serve as a precious souvenir that may be handed down as a daily holiday, Mr. Scott wavers very highly, and is credited by this additional evidence of the esteem in which he is held by the gallant men or the officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines, many of whom are personal friends of long standing. Mr. Scott's visit to this hallowed ground, as the bearer of a message of cheer from Secretary of War Faker, was the first official act of his honored and helpful career in connection with the War Department. 2000 MAKE PROTEST AGAINST LYNCHING J. B. Asks President to Probe Lynchings New York, February 21.—President Wilson, through J.-P. Truant, secretary of the President, acknowledged the receipt of the Association's telegram of protest of the 13th inst., against the tormenting and burning of Jim Milleron at Estill Springs, Teen, and said that the matter would be brought to the attention of the Attorney General. The following letter was sent to Governor Dye of Tennessee: "Honorable T. C. Rye, Governor, Nashville, Teen. "Dear Sir: I wired you yesterday in a night letter from Washington as follows: "The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, speaking in the maze of its ninety branches and ten thousand members, and on behalf of the outraged citizenship of the whole country, appeals to you to take action to bring to justice the perpetrators of the four wrong against the honor of your State in lynching and torturing on Tuesday night Jim Milletton, a Negro accused of murder. Thousands of colored men in your State and the nation now serving their country in the battle for democracy await Tennessee's answer to their appeal for justice at home." This Association, composed of representative citizens of both races, believes that such 'outrrages as the one against which we protest are indefensible at any time but are particularly offensive and dangerous to our nation. This anger is engaged in a life and death struggle against autocratic powers. Such outrages as this, the third one to occur in your State within nine months, place America in an unenviable position when she needs to protest, however rightfully, against Belgian armies committed by German soldiers. "Memphis, Dyersburg, and now Estil Springs. We ask: for the information of the newspapers receiving our press service, what the Great State of Tennessee proposes to do in regard to the violators of her law. I am sure that it is your desire to put the best police and detective ability that can be secured on the trail of these violators of public order. Should lack of funds be an embarrassment to you, this Association offers to put at your disposal funds for this service. "Sincerely yours, (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary." Two Thousand Tennesseeans Form Huga Parade and March To Capitol Presenting Grievances. NAPIER HEADS MARCH Governor Promises His Aid To Prevent Recurrence Of "Lynching Bees" Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 21—Stirred to the depths by the recent brutal lynchings that have occurred in different parts of the State, two thousand and men, representing the intelligence wealth and voting power of Tennessee formed in a parade and marched to the State capitol. Wednesday presented grievances to the Gover- Thomas Rye. Never before in history of the city have the so people been so determined. A militia had been sent to Estill to investigate the most recent Masteor and the result of the investigation was presented to the Governor. J. C. Napier, president of the National Negro Business League, and prominent banker, headed the parade and made the principal address before the Governor, who received the delegation in the Legislative Hall, the State Capitol. Others who made addresses were Dr. W. S. Elliott, editorial secretary, of the Nail-Baptist Publishing Board, Box II. Grant, representing the more nominal Alliance. Governor Rye, after listening to the speakers, declared that he was without authority but would exercise the power in his hands to suppress further lynching and violence. The wave of brutal lynchings that has been sweeping over Tennessee has been the worst in the history of the country, and some of the harbourhouse attacks committed by the fendish moors have been beyond description. During the past year the number of lynchings in this state has been Estill Springs, Dyersburg and the largest at Estill Springs. At Dyersburg the mob applauded red hot irons 14 victims's eyes, unexcused him and a other tortures of a borrowing plight. At Estill Springs, red hot irons were also used to make the victim "concess." It was the frequent occurrence on these crimes that caused the people of Nashville to become so thorough, arduous, and the demonstration Wednesday was the outcome of the pent-up passion of thousands of black Americans. The paraders were orderly but determined and such a spectacle has never been witnessed in the city before. NEW SECRETARY FOR N. A. A. C. P. New York, Feb. 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City, announces the appointment as secretary of the well known social worker, John H. Shillady, of New York. Mr. Shillady has been connected with the Department of Charities and Corrections of Westchester county, was secretary for two years, of the New York City Mayor's Committee on Unemployment, and for four years, Executive Secretary of the Bitts Association for the Relief and Care of Tuberculosis.

The Association has a membership of 10,000 of both races, distributed among ninety branches throughout the country. = Aid of the Red Cross, conservation of food and other resources and the patriotic support of the United States in every effort to win the war were urged at the second community conference of the Women's Co-operative Civic League, held at McCoy Hall last Saturday. The conference was attended by representative men and women. Both races, and showed a commendable interest and cooperation in working for community uplift and the aiding of the United States in its war work. Following a business meeting in the morning, Mrs. Sarah Collins Fernalds, president of the Civic League, gave a detailed report of its various activities in war work. Parental meetings were brought by Mrs. Frances M. Jencks, president of the Women's Civic League, and Mrs. J. Jesse Brown, president of the advisory committee on social work with the Co-operative Civic League. Miss Nannie, H. Burroughs, of Washington, delivered a well-received address, in which she said that the race would be patriotic in every instance, but must at the same time command for a democracy at home that will include them. She denounced advocates of segregation laws and "Jim Crow" measures as German propagandists, their race hostility resulting in making some colored people less inclined to patriotically support their government. Mrs. J. R. Diggs introduced Miss Burroughs. War thrift, food conservation, food production and the buying of war gift stamps were urged at the afternoon session. She snuckers included Dr. H. B. Browne of the United States Food Componen; Edwin G. Banger, food administrator for Maryland; William H. Mrs. Elliott H. Worthlington, Austin Gallagher and Mrs. Addegerringer. Mrs. Fernandis pre- RED CROSS EFFORTS TRAINED The splendid work accomplished by the colored branch of the local chapter of the American Red Cross was ended at the concluding session in the evening. Carrington L. Davis presided. Mrs. Sarah C. Fernandes of the work of the Red Cross in strengthening stricken Belgium and the part at the local chapter played therein. Mrs. Julius Freeman, president of the chapter of the Red Cross, led by the work done by the foreword chaunch. Mr. L. Brent Keyser said that the present Red Cross is the outgrowth of movement started by a Swiss girl who was sorrowing because of the intense suffering of the wounded in a battle in Switzerland 50 years ago. He asserted that the colored people by their 3,000 subscriptions to the local ranch had shown a most prudenceful interest in the work. Dr. Hugh Birkhead, rector of St. Manuel P. E., Church, told of his visit France to inspect the work being done by the Red Cross. He described physically the scenes on the Somme where 6,000 were killed and 5,000 wounded in one week, and that work accomplished by the red cross at the base hospital in receiving the sufferings of the wounded. Any delay on the part of Americans, he said, only meant disaster then, as 5000 towns and villages were destroyed. Rev Dr. R. W. S. Thomas gave an insinuating review of the book on The Negro Soldier in the War," written by W. T. E. Williams, of Hampton, Va. The review brought out the face that the colored people must aid their country in every way in winning the war and pointed out that colored Frenchmen volunteered in large numbers to aid their country in fighting Germany. He said the policy of the French people in treating all classes of their subjects in a fair and equal manner caused this spirit of genuine loyalty of black French subjects. Miss Alice Walton distributed conservation literature and Mrs. Anna Hazelton Lee led in the singing of patriotic airs. A THRIFT LUNCHCHEON A feature of interest was the serving of a luncheon by young girls from the domestic science department of the Colored High School.

Jones and Mr. Dzelle Burner were quietly married at the marriage of Ames M. E. Church on Tuesday by the pastor Tev. Albert Nichols. "Ambassador" Draws Big At Albaugh's With every seat sold and a good number standing, Edwin Hackley's musical comedy "The Ambassador" opened its one night stand at Albaugh's last Friday night for the benefit of the Morgan College re-building fund. In spite of the fact that the cast was made up entirely of amateurs, not a few of whom were附ied with that most ancient of diseases, "sage-fright," the play which is really meritorious, was well acted. The play opens with a scene laid in a street of Fez, Morocco, before the American Consulate, Capt. Tedd, the American Consul at that time, was splendidly represented by Mr. William H. Meabe who easily carried off any airs that [Picture of a young man in a suit and tie]. were running at large, Marjorie, the Consult's piece, was well done by Mrs. Norman Marshall, who acted like a veteran. Now General Bungg was specialized S. E. Embassador and this character was to be portrayed by one J. Clarence Chambers. On the whole this piece of work was fairly well done, but that a part of it was a "screamer" is admitted without any division of opinion. Dr. C. D. Jones was really Raymond Tassomb and was in good voice, grosse, the housekeeper at the consulate, was admirably interpreted by Miss Alma Kelly, a local electionist of considerable ability. Much of the pleasure of the play was lost in the late starting and the rather tiresome battles between the acts. But the vast audience, the final arbiter of any public entertainment, thoroughly enjoyed it and voted the evening a most enjoyable one. The business management was in the hands of Mr. J. Clarence Chambers and this part of the affair was most admirably done. The play is well repeated and with the experience already gained along with the confidence, the same cast should be able to sing and act the parts with even greater success. Mr. Gordon Warfield, formerly of Missoula, was a caller at the office of the Afro-American office this week, and exhibited drawings of a seed planner that he had recently patched. He claims that his invention will do the work of three men and thereby reduce the cost of farming operation. Drills for the Home Guards are now being held Sunday afternoons at the Richmond Market Armory. They begin last Sunday, with Capt. W. D. Pekks as instructor. These drills are in addition to the one being given at the Armory on Wednesday nights, and are open to all.

D. Tarpeau will be the entertaining pastor. MARRIED IN COURTROUSE Miss Catie Brown, of Jacksonville, Florida, and Mr. Harrison Martin of this city, secured a marriage license Wednesday of this week and the only thing left to do was to find a minister to tie the knot. They asked the clerk at the Courthouse if he could direct them to a minister to put the finishing touches to their little love affair. While the clerk was busy cogitating on the whereabouts of a colored minister, Rev. Albert J. Mitchell, pastor of Ames M. E. Church popped in. The troubles of the couple were at once solved and Dr. Mitchell obligingly tied the couple together with the clerk as witness and all was happy ever afterward—let us hope. Mrs. Raglnd Entertain A very pleasant evening was spent at the home of Mr. and Mrs. K. D. Ragland, 544 Gold street on Tuesday evening. The evening was spent in knitting and crocheting.

Bishop, an account of whose death was published in last week's Afro-American, was regarded as an authority on the federal income tax law. He had been for nearly thirty-five years a clerk in the Internal Revenue, serving under Collectors Solomon, Chapman, Vandiver, Partick, Phillips Lee Goldshorough, John B. Hanna and the present incumbent, Joshua Miles. His ability made him highly esteemed by him. When the income tax law went into effect he was appointed clerk in charge, Baulers, lawyers and big business men frequently consulted him about the operation of the law, relying upon his judgment. He enjoyed a wide acquaintance. The deceased was 66 years of age. He was educated at the old Institute and later became a clerk in the local for Colored Youth in Philadelphia, headquarters of the Freedmen's Bank. It was while there that he became an expert in figures. He later became a funeral director. Charles W. Anderson, who was collector of internal revenue for the Wall Street district, New York City, is probably the only colored man in the country who had the responsibility of organizing an price for the collection of the income tax. Whites Show Double Face In McCulloh Street Muddle That William I. Franek, one of the whites who is quoted as opposing the moving of colored people into the 1440 block of McCulloh street, wanted to sell his property to a well known colored man leaked out this week. Franek professed to be angry when a colored family moved into 1440 McCulloh street, and is quoted in a local morning paper as being strongly opposed against such "invasion." Some months ago his attorney, William W. Lingolfelder, with offices in the Law Building, approached one of the best known and wealthiest colored men in the city and offered to sell the apartment houses at 1474-9 McCulloh street. The attorney was armed with drawings showing the arrangements of the houses. The man was urged to inspect the property, but being ill at the time, did not go. When the wife of the man read in the morning paper Tuesday that Franck was kicking against a colored family moving into the block, she immediately called the owner's horse up. Being informed that Franck was at his office downtown, she called him, up there. She proceeded to speak her mind to Franck about trying to sell his property to colored people and then rushing a howl when a colored family moved nearby. Franck could not mind being "hawled out" and hung up the receiver. The wife of the well known colored man then called up Mrs. Franck asking her if she had been in the morning paper about that the kick being made. When asked that the protest had not been, the lady proceeded to read the article, emphasizing what Franck had been quoted as saying. "Do you think that statement was fair in view of the fact that your husband wanted to sell his property to colored people?" was asked "Well, wouldn't you object if a colored family moved next door to you? came the reply.

Sampson Brooks, D.D., the Pastor, spiritual guide and protector of this flock, has brought to this church and community those qualities of brain and heart, which always and everywhere win people's regard. Whether as a preacher-holding forth the word of life, or as a pastor-feeding the flock, or as overseer of the temporal affairs of the church, he has shone himself as a workman that need not be ashamed. Without sounding any note of disparagement, it can be truthfully said that this church has never enjoyed larger prosperity. It is enjoying at this time.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1918 SOUTHERNER SPEAKS OUT going on the Estill Springs lynching last Tennessee Banner has this word of explict in every Southern community when that the overwhelming sentiment is a fact that there seems to be a certain vicious act which is more assertive when opportunity blood lust come. These override law-defy court procedure. It is a shame, knowledge with bent head and a sorrowful graph is more than usually interesting far enlightened public men of the South stop lynching. The Banner divides into classes: "A large and enlightened citizenship to whom the sinister aspect of holly apparent, and whose minds are a corner of excuse made in their behalf." It is smaller in numbers is the "certainiment." Her editorial takes the stand that lynching uncivilized. Further that there is outbreaks of "rank savagery," which may be to primitive conditions, to the wildly and in whom human instincts had not quicking the power to administer justice, cruelty in dealing with those who gave of Southerner, this attitude represents a stend making an end of mob violence in the going to the Banner, the majority of South to lynchings. The fault, then, lies with wild ruffians who are virtually one of the Banner speaking. According to live-witness account of the last lynching attendance. There are but 300 persons that at least 1200 more must have come. Could this mob of persons, treet place, be conceived as constituting one persons of this community? Heriff of Estill Springs went out to arrest she came back to find 1500 white murderer. Whatever these 1500 persons be applause at the lynching, makes them of mob leaders. Not a one of them will be. Remarkable that the Banner in all its wield and condemnation, has no suggestion to the sheriff and his deputies be punishing majority" of a community could beinded to uphold the sanctity of the law does not seem to have occurred to the criminals we can talk about the moral liness, and little good will be accomplished has found but one antidote for crime, With all its sympathy and regret of it was not willing to take this last vital criminals. Only where mob leaders are going stop. Only when mob leaders are can The Afro-American believe that minority. Enlightened Southerners asville Banner have not yet reached the Commenting on the Estill Springs lynching last week the Nashville, Tennessee Banner has this word of explanation: "It is a fact in every Southern community where lynchings take place that the overwhelming sentiment is against such outrages, but there seems to be a certain vicious and anti-law element which is more assertive when opportunities for the exercise of blood lust come. These override law officers and afterwards defy court procedure. It is a shame which the South acknowledges with bent head and a sorrowful heart." This paragraph is more than usually interesting because it shows how far enlightened public men of the South are willing to go to stop lynching. The Banner divides all Southerners into two classes: "A large and enlightened element of Tennessee citizenship to whom the sinister aspect of such happenings is wholly apparent, and whose minds are not blunted by the manner of excuse made in their behalf." The other class, which is smaller in numbers is the "certain vicious and anti-law element." The Banner editorial takes the stand that lynching is unchristian and uncivilized. Further that there is no excuse for these outbreaks of "rank savagery," which mark a "painful reversion to primitive conditions, to the wild men, who knew no law and in whom human instincts had not developed and who, lacking the power to administer justice, resorted to merciless cruelty in dealing with those who gave offense." Certainly for a Southerner, this attitude represents a step forward step toward making an end of mob violence in the South. According to the Banner, the majority of Southern whites are opposed to lynchings. The fault, then, lies with the few educated and wild ruffians who are virtually outlaws. This is editor of the Banner speaking. According to the Bannown eye-witness account of the last lynching, 1500 persons were in attendance. There are but 300 persons in Estill Springs, so that at least 1200 more must have come from surrounding farms. Could this mob of persons, tremendous for such a small place, be conceived as constituting only the minority of the persons of this community? "The sheriff of Estill Springs went out to arrest a colored murderer, he came back to find 1500 white murderers." This literally true. Whatever these 1500 persons believed, their presence and applause at the lynching, makes them accessory to the crime of mob leaders. Not a one of them was arrested, one will be. It is remarkable that the Banner in all its words of hot resignation and condemnation, has no suggestion that the mob leaders or the sheriff and his deputies be punished. "The overwhelming majority" of a community could do that if they were minded to uphold the sanctity of the law. Strangely enough, this does not seem to have occurred to the Banner. To criminals we can talk about the moral law until we exhausted, and little good will be accomplished. Modernization has found but one antidote for crime, namely punishment. With all its sympathy and regret of the occasion the Banner was not willing to take this last vital step of punishing the criminals. Only where mob leaders are punished will lynching stop. Only when mob leaders are hanged or imprisoned, can The Afro-American believe that the lynchers are in the minority. Enlightened Southerners as represented by the Nashville Banner have not yet reached the point.

WHERE REAL DEMOCRACY IS at Camp Meade, white and colored and hold separate meetings of every kind, is insufficient equipment, are drilled. Of course they have their own division of General Ballou. Printing on this jimcrow situation a year other day that there was only one at Meade and that all officers were beet. Both white and colored made mistaor in charge called them all blockhea.

Of course they have their own division commander the person of General Ballou. Commenting on this jimcrow situation a young officer remarked the other day that there was only one Vicker's machine gun at Meade and that all officers were being instructed together. Both white and colored made mistakes and the British Major in charge called them all blockheads indiscriminately. "This is a kind of democracy," said the young officer, "that the only REAL democracy is in the first line trench, all equal there." The first line trenches, German bullets make no disguise. Color and pull matter little to the Boches. Theigger is right. There is "real democracy" in the first line trenches." breaking of war-time measures, the Union League Club, of Philadelphia, has broken a rule in force since its creation, and now employs colored waiters and waitresses. The first woman to be called into service as a result of war registration in Waukegan, Illinois, was Mrs. Frances Robinson, 74 years old. Mrs. Robinson's topic was "corn meal and its uses," and she merely taught white folks what she had been doing in her family of ten for some years—how to make delicious corn-pone, spoon bread, griddle cakes and cracklin bread, all out of corn meal. Bishop Charles B.Williams of the Protestant Episcopal Church, in Michigan, speaking of recent experiences in France said: "Picayune morality of the no-smoking, no-drinkins, no card playing evangelist, has no place on the Western front. There you face tremendous realities. Any parson, Y. M. C. A. worker or anyone else who goes over to force down the throat of the Sammie a manual of sumtuary ethics will be met by a freezing indifference." There is one other fact that ought to be placed beside this frankness of Bishop Williams. Not the churches, but the Y. M. C. A., (non-sectarian) is doing the bulk of the religious work among soldiers here and in France. Senator Johnson's speech in the Senate in favor of public ownership of railroads, indicates the probable line between Republicans and Democrats next election. Public ownership of public utilities would be something that every colored man could vote for. Once owning the railroads, the Government would not stop until it owned street railways, telephones and telegraph. Senator Johnson's speech indicates what Republicans are thinking. Democrats are yet to be heard from. LET CHARITY ABIDE WITH US is an old and wise saying that charity In view of the tremendous demand unlimited for a thousand and one than as a result of a desire on the part of the war," it might be well to add to the charity should also return home on the least. It is the first necessities discovered by our care into the great world conflict, woe and co-ordination in order to press and waste. Might it not be well agencies that have sprung up like mu- ny year to take stock, as it were, combi- nial luxuries and needless expense, a number of appeals to the public, lest thie destroyed by the insatiable demand local institutions that are permanent back of a support, which, at best, has apply common-sense to our soliciting other affairs of life. In speaking of c phrase the lines of a well-known h others thou art lavishing, do not pass only divided Gaul into three parts It has come who divides all the people classes. Here they are: rightward.

Out of every dollar earn- es living expenses, one cent each for labor; 40 cents for recreation and a frifty. Out of every dollar earn- es living expenses, saves 20 cents and 10 recreation and benevolence. There is an old and wise saying that charity should begin at home. In view of the tremendous demands upon the charitably inclined for a thousand and one things imposed from without as a result of a desire on the part of many to help" win the war," it might be well to add to this same wise saying that charity should also return home on an occasional visit, to say the least. One of the first necessities discovered by our Government after its entrance into the great world conflict, was that of systematization and co-ordination in order to present confusion, duplication and waste. Might it not be well for the many charitable agencies that have sprung up like mushrooms within the past year to take stock, as it were, combine their energies, drop all luxuries and needless expense, and greatly reduce the number of appeals to the public, lest the whole spirit of giving be destroyed by the insatiable demands made upon it, and our local institutions that are permanent be made to suffer for lack of a support, which, at best, has never been adequate. Let us apply common-sense to our soliciting as well as to any of the other affairs of life. In speaking of our institutions let us paraphrase the lines of a well-known hymn and say: "Whilst on others thou art lavishing, do not pass them by." Caesar only divided Gaul into three parts but a greater than Caesar has come who divides all the people of the world into three classes. Here they are: 1. Tightwad. Out of every dollar earned he saves 60 cents; spends thirty cents for living expenses and one cent each for recreation, education and benevolence. 2. Spendthrift. Out of every dollar earned he spends 58 cents for living expenses, one cent each for living expenses and benevolence; 40 cents for recreation and saves nothing. 3. Thrifty. Out of every dollar earned he spends 50 cents for living expenses, saves 20 cents and 10 cents each for education, recreation and benevolence. JOIN THE Y. M. C.

[Name] Who was recently reedited Right Eminent Grand Commander of the Knights Templar for the State of New York. Mr. Williams is also imperial Recorder of the 'A' E. A. O. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine. WEEKLY VIEWS AND COMMENTS CONSECRATION Some men put off, shirk and neglect their work while others go at it cheerfully, heroically. Bending every energy and putting forth every effort, they lay out themselves to the accomplishment of that which lies before them. To successfully accomplish anything in life, one must devote the necessary time, talent and labor. Every work in life calls for the conservation, the setting apart of some call of our powers, that which is devoted depending upon the end had in view. There are some things which demand greater devotion or higher conservation than others. Professor, afterwards General O. M. Mitchell, a lover of all true knowledge, ducing many years of his life devoted his time, his powers, his influence, and his money to excite in the public mind of America an interest in the sublime study of astronomy, the demonstration of the wonderful truths of that science, and he would perhaps have continued devote his life to the investigation and demonstration of the same great truths, had not the Civil War like a long brooding storm, with the force and violence of a tornado, hurst upon our beloved country, causing a call to be made for the help of every loyal citizen. Then it was that Professor Mitchell, believing that to help in saving his county was a higher duty and a more imperative one than the pursuit and advancement of his favorite and best loved science, gave himself to the country and died in her service. And so men and women of all walks of life, of power and influence, have sacrificed not only their chosen pursuits, their wealth, but given themselves, and in many cases poured out their life's blood for the cause they have espoused. Howard, Venui, Wilberforce and other philanthropists, admitted with that heaven born prince and spirit of goodwill to man, conserved themselves to noble works and willingly spent their lives in efforts to improve the condition of prisoners—to relieve the wants of the distressed, to carry healing to the allied, and to break the shackles from the slave. All these were worthy objects, were it not so they would have deserved care, not praise. And it is pleasing to know that in these war times when so much is called to be given up for the help and benefit of others, to relieve the wants of the distressed, to improve the condition of prisoners and the sick—to preserve the liberties of free people and to extend such liberties to peoples who are not thus free that there are among us men and women of a like sacrificing spirit as that of those referred to, who are laying on their country's altar all that is asked or required even to their lives. It is noble, it is sublime. It is Christ- like to give one's powers, possessions, and self for the good of others—for high and noble purposes; and it is more than folly to give one's self with all the powers divinely bestowed to groble uses. There are some things as well as some pursuits that do not deserve the attention of some men, that are wholly out of their purview. It is said of Eropus, a king of Macedonia, that his favorite pursuit was to make lancers, and it is also as truly and visibly said of him, that, "although he may have been very good at making lancers, his proper business was to be a king, and therefore the more lancers he made the worse king he was." There are some things that are irrelevant to one's calling, work and business and therefore should be avoided, and things we have to sell for the devotion of one king to another for another, and others for the devotion or conservation of all our powers. The higher the cause, the greater the object desired, be attained, the greater the conservation required. The highest case demands the most complete conservation. We must determine properly estimate the value and the importance of the cause, or object calling forth our energies and the devotion of our powers, and then give to the work or cause that degree of attention, devotion and service its worth demands. There can be no greater work, no higher cause, calling for the best and even for all in man, than the righteous cause of the extension and preservation of the freedom of mankind everywhere, for all time, from intolerance, oppression, and wrong in every form and sense, and this cause calls for the most complete conservation of everything possessed, money, influence, talents—self—the whole man and all that he has. We are solently bound to be and do all that we can, for Christ sake, in help of our fellows, and to be and do this there is need for the most complete conservation. Already we have said that as is the importance or greatness of the work, so also is the completeness of the conservation required and so will be effects produced and rewards received. Conservation begets earnerness, engages the mind and heart in the work, makes all knowledge subserve its end gives energetic action to the accomplishment of the work and our affections to run in the same channel as our efforts. The work of Jesus Christ here on the earth was to reveal man to himself and to God the Father to men, and by this revelation and declaration enable man to find himself and his way back to God and is the highest, most worthy that can engage attention, thought, time, and service. And in this work all to, when Christ revelation and declaration have come I have some to take and do, and consecration to it, gives development to self—to every power and creates a corresponding effect upon others. It is productive of symmetrical development of Christian character, for completeness is an indispensable element to symmetry and beauty. It forbids the belittling concentration of thought upon self—draws man out toward his fellowls and fills his heart with the earnest desire for their improvement, until every energy of his being is absorbed in the effort to bring about the glorious end sought. Dissolution Of People's Savings Banks Of Philadelphia, Pa. Report comes from Philadelphia that the "Peoples' Savings Bank, 1508 Lombard street, Philadelphia, Hon. George H. White, president, former Congressman from North Carolina, filed a petition in Common ideas Court No. 1 for dissolution. The failure of the bank is said to be due to depositors not keeping their money in the bank long enough for it to be invested. No loss will be sustained by the depositors as each will receive 100 per cent on the dollar. 250 o'dilum, it is said, is attached to any of the officers of the bank, all of whom gave their services without compensation, and President White spent his own money to run the bank—his personal loss being about $10,000. The saving fund about is said to have been "unelastic and unsuited to the needs of our people." It is certainly unfortunate that this banking enterprise by our people in the City of Brotherly Love, should have failed, but it is gratifying to be assured that whatever may be the cause for the failure, that it was not from any dishonesty on the part of any of the officers or employees. Banking business has as other business and as the professions its peculiar and special intricacies, and those who enter upon it, as those who follow other professions must have special fitness and training along that particular line, or lines. Every one has his own work to do and line to follow, and in doing that work and in following that line, can best do the thing for which he is gifted and trained. But few men are qualified to give themselves to more than one calling—profession or business, and to win success therein. There are some lines of business—some one calling or profession that call for the devotion of all our energies and our greatest and best efforts. It is to be regretted that in the framing of this saving fund charter it was made unelastic and unsuited to the needs of our people." The success which has attended many of the banking institutions established among our people is remarkable, and the percentage of failures among them has been very low. We may confidently expect that as our people have and avail themselves of the opportunities for this special and peculiar training needed to conduct successfully banking business, there will be a smaller percentage of failure from causes said to have required the dissolution of the People's Savings Bank in Philadelphia, Pa. Morely A News Item! Estill Springs, Teen, Feb. 12—Jim McMelheron, a Negro, who shot and killed two white men here last Friday was burned at the stake here tonight after a confession had been forced from him by application of red hot irons. Had any such items as this come out of Belgium or Armenia we should know what to think of the unaspicable Germans and Turks responsible. A wave of horror would sweep over the country and there would be an extra rush to the enlistment offices. But when Americans thus debase themselves nobody volunteers to end the evil, nobody speaks about it—at least nobody who is white—and we complacently turn to the congenial work of setting up democracy in Germany. "The application of red-hot irons" is now a regular feature of these murders—this is the second of the most recent cases in the other case, the man's eyeballs were slowly burned out—without even an apology to the Sloux. There is a Canadian soldier going round the country deeply stirring our rural communities with the tale of the crucifixion of three Canadians by German friends. What reception would one of our black soldiers get if he were to lecture on the fondishness of burnings in the South?—From the New York Evening Post. The above from the New York Evening Post shows that there is at least one paper in this country edited by white men, that is fearless and outspoken on the unfair, unjust and human treatment which Negroes often receive in this country at the bounds of white muds. We cannot but believe that the time is not far distant when the conscience of the American people will be so aroused and the opinion of the country so formed that the British treatment, even of Negro animals which is so common in this country today, will be made to cruse, and the people in all parts of the land be taught to form a correct estimate of the value of men as men, and if needs be compelled to deal with and treat all men as men. No people can be pressed down beneath the level of men into British indifference, can be pushed aside from the right position, without those so pushing them, forcing themselves from the right character. No one can inflict a wrong or injury upon another without suffering as great a loss or injury himself, as that which can be inflicts or imposes. No people can push aside, force back and down another people, and yet, themselves not be moved aside—back and down. Oppression deprives the oppressor as much as it does the oppressed. And I am sure that the wrong treatment of our people here in America will be and must be corrected; and that it will not be long before the eyes of the American people will be open to the necessary of so doing. And they be aroused to action energetic action. BIG DRIVE FOR 1,000 MEMBERS Y. M. C. A. MEMBERS HUSTLING TO WIN OUT BY 25TH OF FBRUARY. Members of the local Y. M. C. A. are in full sailing at present in a campaign to gain one thousand members in the next few weeks. The Baltimore association has always been in the forefront in membership and the present campaign has been launched in order that its position among the associations might be maintained. People who have hitherto been uninterested in the work of the "Y" have joined daring the "present campaign." The great work along social lines is being done among the soldiers in various cantonments and on the war front in France has attracted numbers who have hitherto known little and The membership of the Drudh Hill avenue branch at the beginning of the campaign was 412 and the 244 number secured to date is 164. It will be seen then, that 424 memberships are needed to make the thousand by February 25th at 10 o'clock when the冠婚 closes. The membership of the association has been divided into two sections the "Army" and the "Navy" and the contest between these two branches of the service is spirited. The army division is headed by Mr. Benjamin P. Dixon while Mr. Desmond Lynch is heading the navy. Each division is composed of 18 men and all of them are hard at work. In order to stimulate the workers, three prizes have been offered as follows: 1st prize - Solid gold cuff links to the man who gets the highest number of memberships over 25. 2nd prize, solid gold scarf pin to the second highest over 25. 3rd prize, black hankin skin ticket case. The emblem of the Y. M. C. A. will be on each prize. In addition to these prizes Dr. William A. Credit offers the winning team the opportunity of educating a young man at the Downingtown Industrial School. Other citizens have shown their interest in the campaign. Mrs. C. A. Williams has given twenty memberships to young boys, and Attorney Warner T. McGuinn has given ten memberships to worthy young men. "I am intensely interested in the campaign to raise the one thousand memberships by February 55th," said Secretary Booker in an interview with a reporter of the Afro-American. "We just must have them. Nothing short of a thousand will do. With one one hundred thousand dollar building now up, we must have at least one thousand members at the corner-stone laying this spring. With the war work as well as the war work as well, we Association will fill a larger place in the life of Baltimore than ever before and the increasing demand means increased money, money and energy. It is up to the people of this city to see to it that we do not fall short of our goal in this campaign and I am sure they will rally to as as they have always done."

He Had No Use For England An Irishman who was a conscientious objector to the war being questioned. "I don't believe in England," said the Irishman. "Why not?" asked the chairman. "I have no use for any country," said the Irishman, "that can't put a commander-in-chief in the field, an admiral at the head of its fleet, or a prime minister in its highest office." "But, my good man," asked the chairman, "where are there better men than Sir Douglas Hugh, Admiral Beauty and Lloyd George is a Welshman." Lowest Office The day after New Year's Ratus didn't show up for work until quite late. His boss asked why. "Well, you see, boss, I was taken into de lodge last night." "What reason is that that you should be late this morning?" "Well, you see, boss, I was elected to a office and I use busy this morning." "Elected to an office the night you were taken into the order?" "Vas, sir, I was appointed the Grand Exalted Ruler ob de Univers." "That's a pretty high office for a new man, isn't it?" "Oh, damn!

People expected him to go into treasure, but he affirms that his psychic impressions are fully sufficient and that his prophecies are real. He read Isaiah 50:4. 5. Moses desired all people to become Mediums. Numbers 11:29. Kanaz was a Medium (Judges 29:16) Daniel was a great Medium 4, 9 and 5:11. So were Solomon and Samuel. John the Baptist, Paul and John the Apostle, Jesus, they have developed and used the blessed Power of Mediumship to commune with the Highest Angels and God for the benefit of humanity.

BOX 812 GREENSBORO, W. F. Margaret Black's Word to Women THE RED CROSS OUTFIT "Who said our "Red Cross Training Class" could not work. The knitted outfit worn by this young man was made at the C. Y. W. C. A. building in the Colored Branch Red Cross Training Class. When you look at this outfit you feel proud of the work our girls and women are doing, and don't you want to help them. They tell us that in war more men die from exposure and cold and illness than from wounds. Some of our men are already "over there," and there will be others to follow. We want them as well clothes as other soldiers, and we want folks to know that we can wear" for our own, and that when folks we are not shipper. Do you dare shirk your duty? Set apart a war work. If you are situated so you can not go then give what you can to help the work along. Perhaps your boy, your husband, your father or some near relative or friend is at the front, and even though you may have no one near or dear in either place, help to make some one else's loved one comfortable. There is some form of work every woman can share. Don't say you are too busy, you are not. We can always find time to do the work we want to do. Every hour that you waste, you are throwing away the life of one of our soldiers. It may tire you a little. But what of it, you think our soldiers are never tired, or worn out. You may not get to the whist club, or to the afternoon affair for Miss A. Wilson-Jones or to the theatre party, does it matter? Our boys are giving up everything they hold dear to fight for their country, can't you sacrifice a little for their sake? Begin your work today. Join the class, learn to knit or make bandages. Here are a few of the things you can make, and you can take your work home with you and knit at home whenever the opportunity presents itself. Stitches should not be cast on two tightly. Knitting should be done evenly and firmly and all holes should be avoided. Joining should be done by splitting or by leaving two or three inches at each end of the yarn to be darned in carefully. All knots, ridges, or lumps should be carefully avoided, especially in soils, as they are apt to blister the feet. Knit plain until sweater measures 25 inches. Knit 24 stitches bind off 24 stitches for neck, loos. ONLY 23 COLORED MEN IN WARD BUT ONE OF THEM IS ELECTED AS CITY COUNCILMAN --- Worcester, Mass., Feb. 29—Councilman Charles Scott of the 3rd ward is the happiest man on earth. This according to his own admission. He has completed over a month's work in the city council and he likes it "Charlie" as he is affectionately called, has achieved an ambition of 20 years standing and has rounded out his career as baseball player, wendy-victor actor and athletic coach by entering the city government at Worcester. Incidentally he has the distinction of being the first Negro in the United States to defeat a white officeholder in a district that is practically solid white. Of the three thousand voters in his ward at least 2,000 are of Irish birth or extraction. Of the remaining 1,000, some 400 are of Italian birth and the remainder are scattered between Assyrians, Armenians and other races. There are only 26 colored voters registered. Some of the politicians say that the reason Charlie "went over the top" was simply because he was one of the best liked follows in Worcester. Old-time sport followers recall him as one of the best second-basemen the town ever turned out and one who would have gone wap up in the sport if it had not been for the prejudice against his color. There is, probably, nobody in Worcester who has a wider acquaintance than Mr. Scott. In this city of Cumberland, Md. Feb. 29—Services at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church Sunday were largely attended. The pastor delivered a special seminar to parents on their duty to children, which was very instructive. Lincoln Day exercises were continued at McKendree M. E. Church Sunday, and several presiding bishops visited Miss Mae Stewart, who was painfully injured by falling on the ice several weeks ago, has sufficiently recovered to resume her duties at the school. The Mite Missionary Society held its regular monthly meeting on Tuesday at the residence of Mrs. Charles Banks, of Maryland avenue, where they were nicely entertained. During the party day was given by Mr. Marshall, a predeceased Frederick street in honor of their little daughter, Marion Sunday Feb. 10. Eleanor Baptist Church held a Valentine Social on February 14th and a fine program was rendered. Rev. Kenny is the pastor. zev. F. S. Deny expressed a barrel of groceries to the Old Folks' Home in Baltimore, due to the members of Metropolitan Church. Darlington, Md., has returned home after spending several weeks with her sister, Mrs. Charles Banks. Mrs. Leroy Edmonds, of Frederick street is able to be out again after a slight indisposition. Miss Hilda Jones, who has been attending Hampon Institute, re-entered the house of this sweep. Mr. William Harris, of the church, has been continued to his home for several weeks with a spruced ankle. Miss GENERAL DIRECTIONS CUMBERLAND Knit 5 ridges on each shoulder, cast on 24 stitches.

The Helmet is made in 2 parts, which afterwards are sewed together. has three children. He has been a lifelong Democrat and the ward from which he was elected to the council is regarded as a Republican stronghold. In speaking of his position on the council, Mr. Scott, in an interview recently said: "I am in the council primarily as an American and not as a Negro. But I realize that to a certain extent my conduct in City Hall will reflect either credit or discredit on my own people and I shall certainly have that in mind as an incentive to do my best at all times. Also I shall never forget that the people in ward I had enough confidence in me and enough liberality to elect me in spite of my color. "It is unquestionably a mistake that the colored people of America do not show a stronger interest in public affairs. It is also a mistake that they follow the Republican party so blindly. If they would make a careful study of the principles and issues between the parties and then divide according to their convictions it would be far better for them. This was first impressed upon me when I was only a 14-year-old boy. Father used to take me with him when he went to vote. In those days it was prior to the present Australian ballot and party workers would pass out party tickets to the voters as they entered." men he meets on the street call out "Hello Charlie." He is married and 200,000 people, at least half of the Robecca McNeal, who has been teaching in West Virginia, has returned home, her school having closed.

FASES HELPER The Fates, they say, sit spinning The threads of love and life; The Fates, they say, weave gently With strands of peace and strife. How can you sit so closely, And draw your thread so fine. When you are adding Fate, dear, With this poor life of mine? The Fates, they say, sing softly, The shuttles catch the gleam Of dancing golden sunbeams, They sing—And yet you seem So silent! Are you caring? For oh, my fears are rife... Just slip a thread of love, dear, Into my strand of life! —Margaret E. Sangster, Jr., in The Christian Herald. Hampton Beats Howard: 22-12 Hampton's baseball team demonstrated its superiority over Howard's lives on February 15, when they met for the second game of the season in the Armstrong Manual Training School gymnasium, Washington, D.C. The closeness of the first game, the presence of the loyal and enthusiastic Howard student body, and the playing of the game on a strained court, all seemed advantageous for the first days. The Hampton team, in its victorious stride and with the championship in sight, entered the second game, however, undaunted and with a dash that electrified the spectators. HAMPTON KEEPS THE LEAD Hampton took the lead in the beginning and was one of the leaders of being overloaded. The game was a hard-fought one throughout. So closely were the Howard men covered that they were unable to shoot a basket in the last half. The Hampton aggregation excelled in team work and the inner points of the game. Though the game was played before a home house, the visitors were accorded every courtesy and were applauded when sensational plays were made. The two teams lived up to the tradition of Hampton-Howard games, where the sportsmanship is of a kind that makes them always a pleasure to witness. So great was the demand for seats that hundreds were turned away, grateful. The occasion was honored by the presence of Fred Pollard, the football star, who served as timekeeper.

NEGRO SOLDIER IN OUR WAR NEGRO SOLDIER IN OUR WAR ```markdown ``` You Need a Real Scalp Food There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than performed 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. Scalp's Quinode 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. Quinode is the invention of an expert chemist and is 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 Quinode it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Scalp's Quinode. Quinode is made entirely of pure vegetable principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinode lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and softly and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Sebey's Quinade and Sebey's Quinamsoo, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist 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 Sebey Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinadde, mentioning the name of this paper.—Adult. READ THE EX-RAY OF LIFE the book which reveals the secret of success.

Campbell, B. S., M. D., 1369 N. Carsey 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. Berthea Blanded told me that she 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 Eayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to tie me at my own home as anywhere else. I was told that we only 95 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. 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 95 lbs. He explained me and told me to tie me at my own home. Dr. Campbell was 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 148 lbs. No one will believe now that I ever was sick in my life. I know several of the doctors on the same 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.
