CHARGE AGAINST P AN ATTEMPT TO James C. Bantum Head of Waesche Street School Charge With Seri- ous Offense. Charges Made By Janitor Cause Sensation in School Circles Following an argument in which James E. Bantum, principal of School 110, Wassau street, reprimanded one John Hall for neglect of his duties as janitor of the school, last Monday morning, Hall accused two policemen on the street the same afternoon and preferred charges against, Bantum which resulted in the latter's arrest that evening. At the Western police station Hall alleged that Bantum had been unlucky familiar with some of the pupils in the school, morning Mary Sears, of Sarah Ann street as one of the pupils in question, and also several other girls. When the case was called Tuesday morning, Hall's testimony indicated that there was bad blood between him and the principal. Mary Sears flatly contradicted some of the allegations made by the janitor, alleging that he met her on Monday and was under the influence of liquor at the time. She also said the janitor was drunk nearly all the time. She said that intimacies had occurred with principal in December. She and her mother asserted, however, that they no ill-feeding against the principal. The case was continued until Tuesday afternoon, when the police produced Geneva Bunday an 18 year old girl who alleged that the principal had been with her with a toy gun. An attorney Dinara counsel for Bantum made strenuous objection to the consideration of something that is alleged to have taken place five years ago. The fact was brought out that Geneva Bunday has been recently fund for violation of the compulsory school attendance law and that there may be some prejudice against Principal Bantum having caused the boy's arrest. This case was dismissed and $500 bail was charged by the charge made by the Sears girl, Thomas R. Smith, the hotel keeper, became Bantum's surety. Hall, the junior, who preferred the charges, apparently as a matter of revenge for Bantum to report him for neglect of duty, seems to be in general disfavor especially as the occurrences in the charges run back as far as three or four years ago, as he was loudly hissed by the crowd that waited outside the station house for the appearance of the principals in the case, following Principal Bantum's release Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Bantum was the highest principal in the school system being at 32 years of age, and was popular with all of the children as well as the teachers. He has held his position for more than ten years and has brought his school up to a high efficiency during that time, and this unfortunate occurrence at this time is the regret of many in as much as he had had such a brilliant record. Mr. W. J. Klewellyn Wilson is temperate position as principal of the school. CAMP DIX BAND GETS ROYAL WELCOME Philadelphia.

BIG CHARITY BALL --BENEFIT-- Provident Hospital 4TH REGIMENT ARMORY Paca and Fayette Sts. Friday, May 17 Admission 350 Practical partition in the purchase of Liberty bonds and thrift stamps was the keynote of the speeches at a patriotic demonstration held at St. Peter Claver Catholic Church Sunday night. A service flag was also unfurled in honor of the members of the church who have entered the military service. The flag was presented to the church by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Nally, and was accepted on behalf of the members of the congregation by Royal G. Addison. The service of blessing of the flag was conducted by Bishop Corrigan. J. Marcellus, Dorset presided. The principal address of the evening was delivered by former Governor Gladstone, who argued that the people who were not called to the front to accept service in the fight for democracy by lending money to the government. He emphasized that the boys "over there" were giving their all to the world might be free, and the least thing the folks at home could do was to see to it that they lacked nothing essential to the successful prosecution of the war. He was heartily applauded. Others who spoke were States Attorney W. P. Browning, Attorney George W. P. McMechen, A. J. S. Owens, former States Attorney. In presenting the flag to the congregation, few. Nally spoke in a way that brought tears to the eyes of many. He told how he had known many of the boys called to the colors, from their infancy, and how they had been brought up through the church and school—then the thought that, perhaps, many of them had return again, was cause for little sorrow to be mingled with the joy of the thought that they were giving up their lives willingly and cheerfully at their country's call. Lieutenant Carris carpenter, one of the officers of the church called to the colors, was present and brought cheers from the audience when he said if the American people would see to it that the soldiers were given everything needed while "over there" they (the soldiers) would take care of the fighting. The names of those who are now in the service were read by Harry W. Wade. Music for the occasion was furnished by an orchestra under the direction of Prof. Ambrose Briscoe. Prominent among those occupying seats on the platform were W. H. McCurd, A. E. Briscoe, James Henry Hammond, Chendron T. Gould, Julius F. Diehl, Charles A. Woodland, Dr W. H. Wright, C. L. Davis and many others. The committee in charge of the meeting was Messrs. C. Marcellus Dorsey Harry Wade, Chas. J. Boone, Royal G. Addison and Lientt. Curtis Carpenter. Rev. Stracham Tells of Work Among Adventists Rev. M. C. Strachman, pastor of the 7th Day Adventist Church, this city, has returned from the quadrennial session of the General or World Conference of his denomination, which was held in San Francisco, Cal. In speaking of the part played by the colored delegates in the conference, Rev. Strachman said that W. H. Green had been elected secretary of the North American Negro Department. By reason of this office, Green becomes a member of the General Conference executive committee the controlling body or the entire denomination and is the first colored he is elected to the position. He is a lawyer, and was practicing his profession in Washington, when he became affiliated with the church of the Adventists. "The Adventists have made remarkable progress among the colored people," said Rev. Stracham. "We have now in this country 60 colored ministers, 75 school teachers and a number of nurses and colapteurs. The total number of sabbath-keepers is 3,500, of which approximately 2500 are in the South. Twenty-five years ago, there were about 50 Sabbath keepers, who paid a title of $50 a year. The total title for the five years ending December 31, 1917, in the North American field was approximately $140,000. Offerings to missions during the same period was $34,000, making a total of tithes and offerings $174,000, $200,000 was appropriated by the conference for work among colored people during the period above mentioed (five years). "The value of church property is about $125,000. In addition to the church property, $50,000 is invested in school property, including the Oakwood Junior College, located at Huntsville, Ala. This plant consists of 18 buildings, 358 acres of land, 200 of which are under cultivation. The average enrollment is 125. An orphanage with a capacity of 20 children is operated in connection with the school. The school receives an annual appropriation of $10,000. 78 173106EC 'Y' Appeals to Baltimoreans The new $10,000 Y. M. C. A. building will touch and help the men and boys in every walk of life in the city of Baltimore. The new building is being erected and much interest is being manifested on the part of the colored people, yet, we are sorry to say that the fund grows slowly. A friend asked Secretary Booker the other day "Has one citizen money been pledged to the building?" and then some. The friend—"Do you mean the subscriber hesitate to pay their pledges when they see the building going up in the face of adverse circumstances brought on by the war, and do they hesitate when they know that this building will be a God sent blessing to our soldier boys and furthermore, a shelter to hundreds of men and boys from the South?" In reply, the secretary said—"The money comes slowly and the need for funds is very urgent now." "The building" fund is completed with the exception of the proportion due by the colored people." "The white citizens have their promise and better, Mr. Rosenwald warned that his check was ready to be power fifty thousand dollars has been spent upon the condition of one building, the board of directors of the colored branch elected by the membership and representing the colored citizens of Baltimore, said that the colored citizens would do their part and pay their twenty-five thousand dollars." "Then," said the friend, "it is possible that any one would ignore a pledge made to such a worthy and needy cause, and especially when such negligence will embarrass the association management and the colored citizens of Baltimore? Surely, our good subscribers are mindful of honor and integrity of one hundred thousand citizens. To far in this proposition means the disgrace of all, even though you have paid your pledge in full. "Fall—we cannot not full... The need for such plant is too urgent, the time for it is most opportune and the generous gifts of our good white friends mean too much. Every citizen—lawyer, doctor, minister, teacher, chauffeur, butler, janitor, merchant, barber, waiver—in fact, every man and woman should join hands in making the project a success. It is a 100 per cent proposition." Secretary Eooker said "I agree with you. This IS a 100 per cent. proposition and I am confident that the citizens of Baltimore will put it thru with flying colors. Five other cities are doing the same thing this year and WE MUST DO IT, that's all." ROLAND HAYES AT CAMP MEADE Camp Meade, May 2.—The big Y. M. C.

Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, referring in his Sunday evening chapel address at Hamilton Institute to President Wilson and the present crisis, said. "This is the time when every man and every woman in America—every patriotic American citizen—every decent American—should put behind our wise, courageous President every ounce of effort he or she has—physical and morale—and that our President may be able to stand back of and help those men in the trenches of Europe to face the most formidable敌 that ever drew sword against democracy and civilization. "This is the time when every one of us must stand firmly and squarely back of the forces that are working to save America, to save England and France, to save Belgium, to save the world. "I love my race more than ever because not a single Negro, so far as I have been able to discover, has been arrested as a spy—not one. Absolutely, the Negroes have stood loyal to their country and to their flag. They are going to continue to do it. "Young people of Hampton, wherever you go this summer—wherever you are, whether you are in the craft or whether you are out—give your country all of your support and backing. Buy Thrift Stumps. Buy bonds, if you can. Have a rail share in your Government, so that those boys, black and white, in the army may know that you and I are back of them, giving ourselves that they may do their full share in saving the world."

Slapping Teacher Arouses Wilson Wilson, N. C., May 2.—Feeling is still running high against J. D. Reid, principal of the colored graded school, who it is claimed, failed to protect one of his women teachers when it is alleged that Charles L. Coon, superintendent of schools for Wilson county, slapped her. The lady teacher and Principal Reid had a disagreement about the time for dismissal of some pupils when the day light saving law first went into effect. The teacher was summoned before Superintendent Coon for a reprimand, and then it is claimed that the alleged slapping took place. Eleven lady teachers resigned as a protest, and the school has since been closed. Principal Reid has been sticking close to his home, so high has the feeling been against him. He went to a local church last Sunday, but had a policeman to escort him. The young women who resigned were given a Heroine Supper recently by prominent citizens. The Wilson graded school has eighteen teachers and $1,600 pupils.

If not, remember there is only a few more hours before you are too late. Saturday night, will you the final drive for the minimum amount of three billion dollars for by the Government to be up to the American people to see that the amount is not only subscriber, but over-subscribed. Get a hump on yourself and do your part. Remember, this money is absolutely necessary to the successful prosecution of the war. And if we don't win, this money you are boarding will not be you a blessed gift of good money as you have shaved. Will you be preparing to send three million soldiers—the flower of its manhood—to the battlefront. In France the millions of Americans who remain at home must secure to them every safeguard that man can invest and money can buy. If you have a tributed your share of the soldiers and the soldiers of our Allies you are not only a sheeker, but an patriotic and grateful citizen. There is no middle ground now.

A Brother Clergman's Opinion of Rev. W. Sampson Brooks; D. D. In a letter of Rev. W. Spencer Carpenter, pastor of Bridge St. A. M. E. Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. to a former parishioner now living in this city he says "If Dr. W. Sampion Brooks of Bethel A. M. E. Church is your pastor you have a marvel. He is a remarkable man and destined to hold even greater work in the church of Christ. He is a generous well as a deserved compliment from a most eminent and successful preacher and pastor of high order, and destined too to fill a larger place in his denomination. NEARLY $660 RAISED AT RALLY The "Unit Bench Rally" held at Anza Memorial M. E. Church, Carey and Baker streets, Sunday night last was a great success. The rally was held under the auspices of the one hundred captains who are engaged in a campaign to raise six thousand dollars and cancel the debt on the church and property. Every captain was assigned a bench and by $230 every seat in the large auditorium was taken. The captains were called by numbers, and when all had reported the pastor Tex. Albert J. Mitchell announced the total of $663.38, the audience went wild with enthusiasm, for the captains had only given two weeks to the effort. This amount brings the rally receipts to date to $1967.33. Mr. Joseph Harris, who had bench 57, reported the largest amount, the sum of $43.00. The size will move opposite his name next Sunday if he keeps the lead till then.

Supreme Court re~ - affirmed the rulings made in the case of Carter vs. The State cot Texas, to the effect that the exclusion. of Negroes from “Grand Juries in cases involving criminal charges against mem- pers of their. race, is a violation of the Constitution and there- = not permissible. ‘The decision was delivered by Mr. Justice Holmes in the case of a resident of Alabama named -Rodgers, who was indicted for murder by a Grand Jury, com- posed entirely of white men and from which, it was charged sthat all Negroes were excluded because of their color. The decision was based on the Carter case in which it was held Sthat “the exclusion of all persons of the African race from a {Grand Jury which finds an indictment against a Negro in a {State Court, when they are excluded solely because of their ace or color, denies him equal protection of the laws, in vio- ation of the Fourteenth ‘Amendment of the Constitution of he United States, whether such exclusion is through the ac- ‘tion of the Legislature, through he Courts or through the ex Seeutive or administrative officers of the State.” © We are just wondering how many colored persons have ‘been “railroaded” through the courts of this State to prison, Vandeven to death, simply because we have neglected to see “that the provisions of the, law have been carried out, How many colored men have been drawn on Grand Juries in Anne Arundel County, Baltimore County or any of the counties ‘of this State for the past ten or fifteen years?

Strangely enough the strike of the teachers is on account of something that he failed ‘to do rather than something that he actually did. “* Reid and one of his lady teachers whom he charged with insubordination, had been summoned to the office of thewhite “superintendent in order to have the matter adjusted. The “superintendent upheld the principal, ordered the teacher to “shut up,’ threatened to “kick her out,” if she didn’t, and “actually slapped her face. All the while Reid sat and looked :6n without raising any objections. °4 Had Reid raised objections, he would very likely have been “dismissed by the superintendent, As it happened the whole Zeolored population of Wilson was so aroused that it was found “necessary to provide the cowardly principal with police “escort, Reid was set upon by a mob, and badly beaten, \* public sentiment is behind the injured lady teacher, and the eleven assistant teachers who are ona strike. It seems bent on’ making Wilson too hot a place for Reid to live in, It realizes that Reid had the choice of asserting his manhood or [probable loss’ of his job, and that he chose to sacrifice his manhood and hold on to his job with both hands. ‘The col Fored folks are seeing to it that he also loses the other.

For others who do not know the truth and are suffering as I suffered, I wish to state that about two years I had a terrible cough, weakness and loss of flesh. Our own physician Dr. Mace attended me for some time, and said I had tuberculosis. I was sent to the Johns Hopkins Hospital for the time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as anywhere else. I went down until I weighed only 68 lbs. Someone told me to try to eat a whole apple every day. 1869 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 90 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Ease Treatment, and I started to change for the third time. I lived, 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 others Dr. Campbell cured of the same trouble, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know that I will be helped. Mrs. Bertha I. Smith, Back River, Rosville P.

Lereams FRIDAY, MAY 3, 1918 -Margar THE HUMB -Margaret Black's Corner- An exchange says "That the Scientists used to say, that there was but little food value in the potato. But recently they have learned with others that a little learning is a dangerous thing." Now we are told that there is almost *a* balanced ration to be found in a bountiful meal of potatoes. At any rate it has been proved that there is no single vegetable that brightens so many homes, or feeds so many people as the wheat. We are warned that much depends upon bread, bullets, but owing to the scarcity of wheat and an overabundance of potatoes it would seem that attention must be given to the planning, storing, preserving and using of this once humble spud. The U. S. Food Administration tells us to use plenty of potatoes. Tells us they are spendid food, excellent for our bodies, and delicious when well cooked. Below follows the contents of leaflet No. 10 and after you have read it it be sure to try Potato Corn Meat Muffins, and a Shephard's Pic. And be sure to use more potatoes in your bread making than formerly they keep the bread so nice and moist. PLENTL OF POTATOES WHAT THEY DO FOR YOUR BODY They are good fuel. They furnish starch which burns in your muscles to let you work, much as the gasoline burns in an automobile engine to make the car go. One medium-sized potato gives you as much starch as two slices of bread. When you have potatoes for a meal you need less bread. Potatoes can save when. They give you salts like other vegetables. You need the salts to build and renew all the parts of your body and to keep it in order. POTATOES AT THEIR BEST An old king is said to have tested each cook before hiring him by asking him to boil a potato. Even the best potato can be spoiled by a poor cook. TO BOIL THEM so that they will be "it for a king," drop the unpooled potatoes into boiling water and cook 20 to 30 minutes. Drain the water off at once. If they are cooked too long or allowed to stand in the water they get soggy. BACK-LOT GARDENING Vegetable gardens in the city and suburbs likely will be more numerous this year than ever, because of the high cost of living. The actual saving should be sufficient reason for planting a small garden this spring without considering the advantage of fresh crisp vegetables and with up-to-date soil to quount that may be saved will be surprising on a spruce 25 by 50 feet. Your back lot may be too small or too shady, b. with so many vacant lots in Baltimore and suburbs it should not be difficult to get permission to plant them. In fact many owners of vacant property will be glad of the opportunity to have the soil improved, the weeds kept down and the appearance of the community improved. I know two women who rented a vacant lot 50 by 100 feet and paid one dollar for the rent, and one dollar for a man to plow, harrow and farnit into rows, and then two dollars for seed potatoes and planted the whole lot in potatoes and in the fall harvested a crop of potatoes large enough to keep a family of six in potatoes all the winter. It is not easy to put it paid, and that is what counted. Many gardens are planted each year by people who do not know how to get profitable results. No one should expect a good crop after scratching the soil, throwing in a few seeds and then covering them up. It means work to prepare the soil, and you need good seeds, also an hour each day to keep down the weeds by cultivating the earth. This is healthful out-door exercise which many of us city residents need. No other kind of work is more beneficial and the pleasure of watching your crop grow of anticipating how it will grace your table and how much better YOU MIGHT TRY- To remove white spots from highly polished furniture apply common viking soda, dampened. Allow to remain on the spots for a short time and then rub vigorously. If moths get into a closet, saturate a cloth twelve inches square with formaldehyde; place cloth in the closet and close up tightly for twelve hours. The same may be used in chests, trunks or boxes where clothing is stored. The fumes will kill moths as well as their eggs. A new way to clean silver is to be toast to a stiff froth the white of an egg, and add to this enough soda to make a stiff paste. First wash and dry thorouly the silver, then scour with the paste, until all dark places are removed. Now rinse in cold water and it will be perfectly clean. To prevent eggs from bursting from boiling, prick one end with a needle before placing in the water. This makes an outlet for the air, and keeps the shell from cracking. The best way to wash lace is to squeeze it first in hot water then gold. To stiffen it dip it in milk. It should be pressed on a well padded board, on the wrong side, with a fairly hot iron. If you peel the potatoes before cooking them you will waste time and potatoes both. You may throw away a sixth or even a quarter of the good part of the potato with the skins. Also, if the potatoes aren't covered up by the skins while cooking, some of the valuable material will soak out into the water. Even very small potatoes can be economically used, if they are boiled in their skins. FOR BEST MASHED POTATOES. Peel the boiled potatoes, mash and beat until very light, adding salt, butter or oleomargarine and hot milk, a half cup of milk to six potatoes. If dinner is not ready to serve, pile lightly in a pan and set in the oven to brown. POTATOES ARE GOOD IN BREADS. Get Farmers' Bulletin No. 807. "Bread and Bread Making in the Home," from the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C., to learn how to make potato yeast bread.

A SHEPHERD'S PIE Grease a baking dish; cover the bottom with mashed potatoes. Add a layer of cooked minced meat or fish, seasoned well and mixed with meat stock or gravy. Cover with mashed potatoes. Bake long enough to heat through—20 to 30 minutes. UNITED STATES FOOD LEAFLETS Have you received the leaflets that have gone before this one? They will help you give your family the right sort of food for the least money. The other leaflets are called: 1. Start the Day Right with a Good Breakfast. 5. Make a Little Meat Go a Long Way. 6. Do You Know Outmeal? 7. Food for Your Children. 8. Instead of Meat. 9. Vegetables for Winter. Send for these leaflets—Tell your neighbors about them. the vegetables will be right out of your own garden makes the work really fascinating. If possible prepare your soil so it will be mellow and rich. Natural fertilizer accomplishes this by increasing the moisture—holding plant food of the soil. About all the tools you will need are hoe, rake, spade and spading fork. The spade is for spading soil but if your ground has been used before a spading fork is best. Where the space is too small to plow spading and leveling it off with a rake is best, and ruking it as smooth as possible. If your ground is too rich spade it rather deep. If the only soil you can get is poor, do not get disheurtened, for you can grow some vegetables on very poor soil. If your soil is clay you may notice it will grow a healthy crop of weeds, so if it will grow weeds it will grow vegetables without much preparation. Among these are early tomatoes, green beans onions and cabbage. Work the ground thoroly and hoof often to keep down the weeds and you need not fear results. Buy your seed from a reliable seed store and not from the man who carries a mall stock of seed as a side line. The seed man will be able to guide you in selecting varieties that will succeed well in your vicinity, and in nearly all cases will furnish you with a leaflet giving explicit directions how to grow certain kinds of vegetables, for the asking. If you are prepared to work to get results prepare to plant your garden as soon as the weather permits in your locality, but if you do not intend to work and attend your garden properly for goodness sake don't start to garden but leave some one have the plot who will attend to it and will work to get results. New patent leather shoes, rubbed all over with a little vasseline put on with a piece of soft flannel, and polished will never crack. Patent leather should be kept in a warm dry place, and should not be worn on wet days. Now-a-days when colored goods is so expensive it pays one to know how to launder them so they will keep their color. When washing gingham, muslin and other colored goods, soak in cold salt water, then wash in strong suds made by dissolving white soap in warm water. Wash quickly, rinse in cold water and dry in the shade. WHAT DID SHE DO? NOAH'S, HAIR, DRESSING Pricing Plan. Your designer shall be paid and to us. Products substitutes.

For a new and effective fly-catcher use the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner intelligently and it will gather more flies than any kind of trap you can buy. If your derby is cracked hold a lighted match inside the hat as close to the broken spot as possible. The heat softens the texture of the hat which can now be brushed with a stiff brush until its former smoothness is entirely regained. A little methylated spirit added to the rinsing water will make white silk look like now. When buying nut-megs choose the little ones they have a better flavor than larger nuts. Most housewives boil their milk before using during the summer months—and some burn it too. The latter annoyance will not occur if a little water, about an inch deep, is first boiled in the saucepan and the milk then added. To keep milk bottles and jugs really clean, wash them first with cold water then with water slightly warmer and then with some a little warmer still, and finally, when they are quite clean, scald by filling with boiling water. If scalding hot water is put in first of all it will merely scald the particles of stale milk on to the bottle or jug, and there they will stay, all ready to turn the next lot sour that is put in. Scour all milk utensils once a week by rubbing well with salt or ashes. Fashion's Fancies Use fiber silk, to make that much wanted sweater. It works up lovely say those who have used it, and it is worth using in the cause of conservation. Plaid ginghams make lovely summer cushions. Be sure to watch the remnant counter for this much desired fabric. It will pay you a thousand fold. Scarf ends in gingham are dainty affairs. Box pleats are high in favor in blouses and lingerie. They are also much in evidence in the allured waist. Wool fagoting is employed on silk cloth and linen. Massing of fagoting in even rows to form Greek borders for collars and cuffs and for yokes or in serpentine lines, produces that open work effect which is one of the season's strongest features. This trimming can be purchased by the yard if you do not have time to make it. Insertions made of fielec (string) are being used in conjunction with embroidered linen bands. Passem- tentre crocheted from string will be used on dresses of linen and serge. MME. PAGE HEATH Scalp and Hair Specialist 2115 DRUID HILL AVENUE Heath's Magic Hair Grower 25c per box.

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 it to fall out of the hair. Quinade 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 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 fuzzy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinadze and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstret or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send 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 Quinadze, mentioning the name of this paper—Advert. FOR HAT RENOVATING Try C. THOMAS ..PRESSING CLUB..
