Washington, District of Columbia By the authority and direction of the War Department and the Committee on Public Information, Eunnett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, called to Washington this week for a conference, thirty or forty representatives of important colored newspapers of the country, together with a number of the leaders of thought and opinion among the Negro people, to consider methods by which the millions of colored people of the nation may best assist in the winning of the war. PROCEEDINGS MARKED BY DIGNITY AND UNITY. The Conference formally opened Wednesday morning, June 19, in the main auditorium of the new building of the Department of the Interior. 18th and F streets northwest, at 10:30 o'clock, and continued throughout Thursday and Friday, June 20 and 21. Mr. Scott presided at all of the sessions which were marked by an earnestness of purpose, broad group of the quorum at issue, and an unwavering loyalty to the flag of the nation, as well as by an intense devotion to the highest interests of the colored Americans for whom they primarily to speak. The discussion covered a wide range and the conferences were given an opportunity to present their views, reflecting the state of mind of the colored people of the country, with the utmost freedom and frankness, unhampered by parliamentary restrictions or any effort to direct opinion in any particular channel—save that of utilizing in the most effective manner every resource at the command of the race to bring victory to the American arms in its present struggle for liberty and world-wide democracy. Mr. Scott's admirably-tempered addresses at various stages, the deliberations repeatedly admonished the conferences to voice their sentiments fully and fearlessly, for their redress upon the common altar, with the view of strengthening where needed the patriotic morale of the Negro people. So fair and impartial were the ranges of the child upon every event raised or principle enunciated tah at no time was a single exception taken to them. Every conceivable shade of individual opinion was represented in the body but there was from the outset a firm disposition to subordinate private and personal considerations to the general good, without regard to politics, creed, faction or section. This lofty dignity was adhered to most religiously. Dignity of statement, harmony of thought and unity of action were the predominating features of the three day's session. The document, reported by the special committee appointed to summarize the expression of the conference as to the best plans for the mobilization of the resources of the 12,000,000 Negroes of the Republic in support of the war aims of the government, was adopted by a unanimous vote, given heartily and enthusiastically. "America" was sung for fervor and enunciation as final adjournment was taken. NOTABLE ADDRESSES BY OFFICIALS OF HIGH STATION. The conference was addressed in the impatiate vein, during the sessions, by the following notable officials of high station: Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War; Mr. George Creel, Chairman of the Committee on Public Information; Hon. Franklin D. Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Major Edouard Requin and Major Marcel, Director, of the French High Commission. EXTRACT FROM RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The following is extract from the Resolutions adopted by the conference: "We, the thirty-one representatives of the Negro press which has a circulation of more than a million copies, principially among the colored people of America, and representives of other activities, wish to affirm first of all, our UNAUTABLE BELIEF THAT THE DEFEAT OF THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT AND WHAT IT TODAY REPRESENTS IS OF PARAMOUNT IMPORTANCE TO THE WELFARE OF THE WORLD IN GENERAL, AND TO OUR PEOPLE IN PARTICULAR. "We deem it hardly necessary, in view of the untutured record of Negro Americans, to defile, our loyalty to our country, and our readiness to make our sacrifice to win this war. We wish, however, we students and guides of public opinion among our people, to use our every endeavor to keep these 12,000,000 people at the highest pitch, not simply of passive loyalty, but of active, enthusiastic and self-sacrificing participation in the war. "We are not unmindful of the recognition of our American citizenship in the draft, of the appointment of colored officers, of the designation of colored advisors to the Government departments, and to other indications of a broadened public opinion, nevertheless we believe today, justifiable grievances of the colored people are producing not disloyalty, but an amount of unrest and bitterness which even the best efforts of their leaders may not be able always to guide unless they can have the active and sympathetic cooperation of the National and State governments, German propaganda among us is powerless, but the apparent indifference of our own Government may be dangerous. "The American Negro does not expect to the whole Negro problem settled immediately; he is not seeking to hold-up a striving country and a distracted world by pushing irrelevant personal grievances as a price of loyalty; he is not disposed to catalogue, in this tremendous crisis, all his complaints and disabilities; he is more than willing to do his full share in helping to win the war for democracy and he expects his full share of the fruits thereof—but he is today compelled to ask for that minimum of consideration which will enable him to be an efficient fighter for VICTORY." SOCIAL AND EDUCATIONAL DIVERSIONS. To enlist the occasion for the distinguished visitors a local committee of citizens provided a series of entertainments, which included, among other interesting things, a theatre party of fifty at the Howard Theatre, Wednesday evening to witness the presentation of "The Divorce Question" by the Quality Assurance Company, of New York City; a smoker and importer on Thursday evening in the monthly room of the 12th Street Y. M. C. A., with Attorney W. L. Houston as tourmaster; and a tour of the city Friday afternoon in sightseeing automobiles, covering views of the parks and public buildings, and the schools, churches, business houses and homes of Colored Washingtonians. On Thursday afternoon, Capt. Arthur S. Spigharn presented at the Army Medical Museum a highly instructive moving picture, titled "Fit to Fight," emphasizing the value of physical health in the army and depicting the dangers to which soldiers subjected in the matter of disease and dissipation, with suggestions for recreational centers and other agencies for wholesome and moral diversions for the soldiers in camps and cantments.

Justice Wainhouse Lynn, of the Municipal Court of the Seventh District, last Tuesday awarded $100 each to Shepard, N. Edmonds and William Vodery, colored, and to Louis Dean and Raymond Matthews, whites, in a case based upon discrimination of four plaintiffs by Edwin Hotz, owner of a restaurant and cafe at 780 Eighth avenue. On April 18 last the four men went together to Hotz's cafe. As they approached the bar, Edmonds, one of the colored men, asked the three other in the party what they would have to drink. The two white men ordered whiskey, and nothing was said about the price. When one of the colored men ordered gin and the other a nip of ale with beer added, each was informed by the bartender he would have to pay fifty cents a drink. The two white men then asked the price of the whiskey, and were told "fifty cents a drink." One of the colored men then ordered a glass of beer instead, and was told it would be fifty cents also. The other colored man refused to drink anything. After the drinks were served a bill was given the bartender in payment, and he took out only seventy-five cents for the round. The men testified at the hearing that previous to that date they had been served by the defendant with the same whiskey for fifteen cents per drink. Justice Lynn, in rendering his decision, said it was based upon the section of the Civil Rights law, which provides that no proprietor or a place of public accommodation shall directly or indirectly hold any person on account of race, creed or color, to be objectionable or unwelcome. He said: "This, whole case presents an atmosphere of a sharp discrimination against all of these people, directly against the black men, and indirectly against the white men for being in the company of black men, and theendant his forgiveness his duty to the public inn, and the laws of our state compel him to treat all who enter with fairness and without discrimination. He has offended our law by an attempted evasion by charging what he supposed was a prohibitory price for his refreshment. His place may be a select one for only white trade, but his treatment of the two white men on a par with his conduct towards the black men." New York, 1,000, Camp Dis, New Jersey.

For the past 28 years the sale price to individual subscribers has been three cents. The increase has been found necessary to meet the advance in cost of print paper, ink, and most important of all—labor. Without print paper and ink a newspaper is impossible. Congress and the President have given a large part of their time during the past year in the effort to keep these articles at a figure where the smaller newspapers of the country could continue to purchase it. In spite of their lathers paper and ink cost has increased and many country dailies as well as weeklies have been forced to suspend. The loss of the trade in German dyes and the necessity of accepting dearer substitutes has caused the same upward tendency in the price of printing inks. Ordinary inks are now selling at just twice the pre-war quotations. The need of paying our workmen a living wage under present conditions hardly calls for mention here. Ordinary laborers are now getting $3 to $8.50 per day of eight and ten hours. Even at this figure the H. C. of L. enables them to save little more than they saved before the war. Increase in wages has not been an absolute increase but a relative one. The laborer has not more money to buy luxuries or to save. His pocket-book is just as empty now as before. The increase in wages barely meets the increase in prices. If a workman is not getting more now than he did before he war, in reality he is not receiving the same wages, he has been reduced. These are the reasons that the price of the Afro-American will be 5 Cents hereafter instead of 3 cents. Newspaper publishing has been classified by the Government as essential, that is, patriotic service. As a means of spreading the news, of creating right public opinion, the newspapers must come out. We confidently expect that our 15,000 readers will help to bear cheerfully the burden that the war places upon us. The Band Plays and Lightens Hearts in Sorrow-Stricken France With the American Army in France, June 30—One of the best things of the first Afro-American contribution to the French line is its band. Subsidized by D. G. Reid with a check for $10,000, and organized by James R. Europe, "America's leading colored orchestra leader," now a Lieutenant in the regiment, the colored band is fast becoming celebrated throughout France. At the A. E. P.'s chief recreation centre a big silver cup and several golden palms were presented to the musicians by the municipality. Sergt. Noble Sissle, the regimental drum major, has made a study of the effect of Yankee ragtime, as interpreted by his bandmen, on French audiences. He has addressed the following summary of his impressions to the correspondent of The Inquirer with the American press. After so many articles about the American hands and real need of them in France, I thought I would write you concerning some of our experiences in the—New York Infantry Band 'over here.' "When our country was dawn-mad a few years ago, we quite agreed with the popular Broadway song composer who wrote: Synconation rules the nation You can't get away from it. "But if you could see the effect our good old jazz' melodies have on the peoples of every race and creed you would change the word 'nation' quoted above to 'world.' "Inasmuch as the press seems to have kept the public well informed of our band's effort to make the boys happy in this land where everybody speaks everything but English, I will assume that you know Lieutenant James Reese Europe, its organizer and conductor. This Lieutenant Europe is the same Europe whose orchestras are considered to have done a goodly share toward making syncopated music popular on Broadway. Having been associated with Lieutenant Europe in civil life during his 'jazz bombardment' on the delicate, classical, musical ears of New York's critics, and having wattened The Walls of Jerice' come tumbling down, I was naturally curious to see what would be the effect of a 'real American tune', as Victor Herbert calls our Southern syncopated tunes, as played by a real American band. "At last the opportunity came, and it was at a town in France where there were no American troops, and our audience, with the exception of an American general and his staff, was all French people. I am sure the French people had never heard a ragtime number. So what happened can be taken as a杰特 of the success of our music in this country, where all is sadness and sorrow. "THE MUSICIST RULES." "The program started with a French march, followed by favorite overtures and vocal selections by our male quartette, all of which were heartily applauded. The second part of the program opened with "The Stars and Stripes Forever," the great Sousa march, and before the last note of the martial ending had been finished the next day was...wading with applauses; Next for the final note was "Plantation Melodies" and then came the fireworks, "The Memphis Blues." "Lieutenant Europe, before raising his baton, twitched his shoulders, apparently to be sure that his tight-fitting military coat would stand the strain, each musician shifted his feet, the players of brass horns blew the saliva from their instruments, the drummers tightened their drumheads, every one settled back in their seats, half closed their eyes, and when the baton came down with a swoop that brought forth a southing crash both director and musicians seemed to forget their surroundings; they were lost in scenes and memories. Cornet and clarinet players began to manipulate notes in that typical rhythm (that rhythm which no artist has ever been able to put down on paper); as the drummers struck, their stride their shoulders began shaking in time to their syncopated raps. AUDIENCE SWAYED IN UNISON "Then, it seemed, the whole audi PRICE 3 Cents in Maryland 5 Cents outside of Maryland e French Battlefront Copyright Western Newspaper Service and Lightens now-Stricken France once began to sway, dignified French officers began to put their feet along with the American general, who, temporarily, had lost his style and grace. Lieutenant Europe was no longer the Lieutenant Europe of a moment ago, but once more Jim Europe, who a few months ago rocked New York with his synaptoized baton. His body swayed motions and his hands bobbing as when terpsichorean festivities reigned supreme. He turned to the trombone players, who sat impatiently waiting for their cue to have a "Jazz spasm," and they drew their slides out to the extremity and jerked them back with that characteristic crack (a la soixta guinze). "The audience could stand it no longer; the Jazz gern" hit them, and it seemed to find the vital spot, loosening all muscles and causing what is known in America as an 'Eagle Rocking Fit.' "There now," I said to myself, "Col.-Ihas brought his band over here and started ragtimots in France; aint this an awful thing to visit upon a nation with so many burdens? But when the band had finished and the people were roaring with laughter, their faces wreathed in emiles, I was forced to say that this is just what France needs at this critical moment. "All through France the same thing happened. Troop and soldiers, over everywhere pushed out on route, and every head came out of the window when we struck up a good old Dibble tune. Even German prisoners forgot they were prisoners, dropped their work to listen and put their feet to the stirring American tunes. "But the thing that capped the climax happened up in Northern France. We were playing our Colonel's favorite ragtime, 'The Army Blues,' in a little village where we were the first American troops there, and among the crowd listening to that band was an old lady about sixty years of age. To every one's surprise, all of a sudden she started doing a dance that resembled 'Walking the Dog.' Then I was cured, and satisfied that American music would some day be the world's music. While at Alx les Balts other musicians from American bands said their experiences had seen the same. "Who would think that little U. S. A. would ever give to the world a rhythm and melodies that, in the midst of such universal sorrow, would cause all students of music to yearn to learn how to play it. Such is the case, because every musician we meet—and they all seem to be masters of the instruments—are able to make the boys to teach them how to play ragtime. sometimes think if the Kaiser ever heard a good syncopated melody he would not take himself so seriously. "If France was well supplied with American bands, playing their lively tunes, I'm sure it would help a good deal in bringing home entertainment to our boys, and at the same time make the heart of sorrow-striken France beat a dead lighter." 351st and 358th Safe In France Word has been received in this city that the 368th Infantry and the 351st Field Artillery Regiments have landed safely overseas. Most of the Artillery Regiment is composed of Baltimore more boys and since they left Camp Meade several weeks ago there has been some speculation as to just where they were. No definite information concerning there whereabouts was received, however, until Monday, when cards were received announcing the safe arrival of the boys "over there." No information is obtainable as to just what port they landed as this information is not given" out by the War Department. The Infantry companies are commanded, for the most part by colored officers and folks at home are looking for them to give a good account of themselves. Men To Be Trained At Atlanta University For Higher Branches of The War Service Over one hundred of the pick of Baltimore's select left, Candlen Station early of Monday morning for the first lap, of a long, long journey. The first objective is Atlanta University, the second, France and the third, Berlin. These men, all of whom are at least eight grade pupils, were chosen from the various wards of the city and met at the district headquarters and met Monday morning and their final instructions. The fact that the boys were ordered to report before most Baltimore were out of their beds kept large numbers from seeing them off, but they were not forgotten, for quite a few experienced the novel sensation of getting up before the sun in order to bid godspost to those who were going to the heart of the Southland. While a number of the selects were ordered to report at 5.30, it was after six before they all put in their appearance. The 14th Ward contingent was the first to reach Candlen Station, and they were quickly followed by girls from the city and the rest. They were happy looking lot, and a fine, intelligent looking bunch. As they crowded into the four coaches reserved for them they called back messages to send to their wives, sweethearts and mothers. These selects will form part of a group of about three hundred, who will take special training for three months at Atlanta University, and a number of them will probably receive commissions. Training will be given in radio engineering, electrical engineering, auto mechanics, blacksmithing and the operation of motor vehicles. 5th WARD George Mitchell, Lawrence 'Green, George Onehle, Clarence Howard, Raymond Hamilton, Samuel Downs, John McCauley, John John, Wo McCauley and Frank Stokes. 11th WARD S D.

Stewart, pastor of the church and director of the Society mounted the rostrum after the opening hymn, the following numbers were rendered in their order: "Pilgrims Chorus," "War Vespers," "Russian Song, by Miss Lilian A. Evans, the soloist of the evening, after which "Walk Together Children and Ecstasy" feel the Spirit, but be united in the audience with a swing, snap and vim that showed careful training and intimate acquaintance with the subject after which Miss Evans sang "I Know that My Redeemer Lives," a song that reached the hearts of the audience. The Society next sang the "Bridal Chorus" a new selection which was excellently rendered. The recital closed with the rendition of "Inflammatus," Miss Evans singing the Obligate, supported by the Choral Society. This number alone was well worth going miles to hear. Both Miss Evans and the members of the Choral Society were in excellent form as the quality and rendition of the numbers showed. Nearly 100 voices and at their best was the consensus of opinion of the pleased and satisfied audience and they efficiently left the church before the final performance of the audience was entertained in a novel manner by having the notices and other announcements thrown on a screen, after which "The Madonna," a picture showing man's inhumanity to man, until an inspiration from the Blessed Virgin awakens the rich man to his sense of duty, etc. These attractions are glowing tributes to the wide awake energetic and hustling pastor, Rev.

Colonel Young dzopped in to see Asst. to Secretary of War Scott and other officials of War Department in the effort to get out of inactive service.

This time it is ‘‘to prevent the spread of tuberculosis among the white people” that has prompted the chief executive of the “birthplace of segrega- tion” to make anotlier attempt to limit the rights of colored persons to buy and occupy property in districts outside of the limits to be set in the proposed measure. The proposed measure, if it becomes a law, will meet the same fate that all unrighteous measures. ultimately meet. In the face of the decision by the Supreme Court no lower jurist will hardly have the temerity to pass. favorably upon ‘an ordinance the intent of which is to abridge the rights of a class of people even though that intent is hidden behind the Sibtle pretense of protecting the health of another class of citizens. “ “The assertion that colored people are more susceptible to tubeiculosis than whites has been made so frequently by our eminent white friends that they almost believe it—almost but not quite. ‘They know it is only a half truth. Of course more people die from tuberculosis in a six-foot alley than on Eutaw Place or University’ Parkway. It is to be expected. it isn’t the color that kills them, but the condition. | ‘The Mayor does not take into consideration that there are-many institutions in the State to care for white tubercular patients while colored people who are infected have no place to go but Bayview—or the graveyard. Neither does he con- sider Aonditions in;the many miserable alleys where large num “pIH of the race are forced to live, If he did he would see that the city administration is in a large measure responsible for the physical condition of numbers of the race and not the incident of color. If the Mayor is sincere in his proposed efforts to better the health conditions of the people, let him propose @ meas- ure that will better living conditions among the poor; let him use his influence in securing adequate treatment for colored tuberculars; let him give his cooperation to educational move- ments tending toward the enlightennlent of colored people along health lines; let him. use as much energy in making habitable, beautiful and healthful sections in which poor col- ored and white people are compelled to live as he does in the neighborhoods occupied by the rich; let him lose sight of caste and autocracy for a while and get into his system @ mite of the kindof democracy we are trying to beat into the Huns; let him realize that the prevention of tuberculosis among the black people of the city is as much HIS problem as mayor of this city, as is the problem of preventing’its spread among the whites. Any measure drafted along lines as suggested by the Mayor this week will not only be unconstitutional, but selfish, unfair, unpatriotic and un-American. UYNCUING “Lsuching is recoxnized Wy’ an in- creasing number of people as a dan- ger to Natlonalisafety and to success in the war. AC first it does net seem that there ean be very close connec- tion between an act of lawlessness in ‘a romote American rural community and a vielory on the buttlefiglds of France. Nothing, however, iS more certain. than that & very connection between the two is within the mange of possibility. Among the troops that fare going to the other side are Ameri- cans of Negro blood, That American Negroes make fine soldiers no one xn Aoubt who hus read the testimeny of such an olfcer, for example, as Gen- eral Fell, quoted in Lieutenant Me- Kaine’s article on “The Buffaloes" in ‘The Outlook for May 22. The. patri- olism of these Negrocs has heen test- ed und thelr morale has bee praised, Te ig treason to. the country to do any- thing which wiik-take "the “heart -out fof these inen and make them fect that they have no country. Ts there anything thit would be more likely fo do that than to allow Negroes at home to be murdered by mobs? “Southern people who know the Negto perhaps better than the people of any part of the country, because they have seen more of them, ar the most vigorous in the expression of this need for the suppression of the evil of Iynching. One of the moxt Fecent instances of Southern remon- strane against this evil, which Js. not confined to any one section, is the pussuge on Muy 14 of the following Fesolution by tho ‘Tennessee Conter- ence of Charities and - Correction, whieh met in Memphis: “Whereas, the excitement con- nected with this stupendous war appears to have undermined the self-control of some of the Amer!- ean people torsuch an-extent that Iynchings seem to be occurring with increasing frequency; and “Whereas, such occurrences are Incompatibie with the principles of justice and democracy, for which we are fighting; and “Whereas, the Jynching of men of one blood or race by those of another is not at this time an ofdinary act of lawlessness which may be lofe to the focal authort= tes, but strikes at the very root of our National solidarity and eMeleney by raising issues of race and of blood amonz our own peopie, and will inevitably in- crease the length of the war and the cost in dead and wounded we will haye to pay. for victors, and thus give aid und comfort to the enemy; and “Whereas, we do not believe those guilly of this lawlessness renlize the treusonuble effect of their acts: “Now, therefore. the Tennessee Conference of Charities und Cor- reetion, in Convention assembled, does hereby respectfully petition the President of the United States to issue & prockimation to the Ainerican people on the subject; and ‘Whereas, such acts d oin fact amount to etlmes against the Na- tion, we do further petition Con- gress to pass an Act so declaring and saving Federal Grand Juries and Courts the right to indict ard try those charged therewith, “Another instance® accurrod inthe preceding month when the followin telegram was sent by Bolton Smith Secretary of the Teinessee Law anc Order League, and addressed to th Governor of Tennessee, the Hon. T iC, Rye: “The lynching of Berry Novte Lexington, Tennessee, yestorday ean but sow disunion among our people, underniine the morale of gut agro troops “and eign th Sifectivehess. of ‘our. ‘pkoxaiaida.y among the cdloréd ‘people™for™ food. produetion and conservation. ~ It will therefore tend to protons the war and increase the price in dead and wounded we will have to pay for vittory: I have been wisiting tie camp here and have. witnessed the self-sacrifice of out * “splendid young men who aré pre-> ‘The Salvation Army believes in adapting itself to surround- ing conditions. J. Rosamond Johnson, formerly of the won- derful musical team of Cole and Johnson and author of a “yundred different popular songs that have set America by the ey including “Under the Bamboo Tree,” and “In my Castle on the River Nile,” bears witness to this adaptability. “One day, some years ago,” said Mr. Johnson, “I was walk- ing along 14th street near Union Square (N. ¥.) Park, I saw and heard a Salvation Army group singing. The tune sound- ed familiar, and as 1 went my way, I tacked and racked my brain to place it. After a time it came to me, and this is what the ‘SalvationArmywas doing,” To the tune of “Under the Bamboo Tree” Mr, Johnson sang: “ "Tf you like-a Jesus, and Jesus like-a you.” ” Characteristically enough Salvation Army groups are not finding much time for speaking and singing in France. It takes all of their time caring for the actual human needs of the French refugees and serving hot cocoa and sandwiches to “weary soldiers.’ Like the K. of C., the Red Cross and the Y. ‘M. ©.°A. the Salvation Army is doing its bit in a genuinely “practical way.” 7 Reminiscent of the war the government waged against tite) Seminole Indians and half breed Negroes and Indians in the ‘Old Hickory Stamping Ground not far from Henryetta, Okla- shoma; for a time it has been feared that thesé freedom-loving Ze would: offer sezious armed resistance to the Naraft, ‘bit perhaps they-may be persuaded to lay down their larms and submit peaceably.

KESPING ONE'S WORD ‘That was wholesome as well as uiniely adviee given ni the editorial bewring this caption in last week's issue. It iy most Important that promises made be kept, that appoint- monts fixed be promptly filled and all engagements and obligations falth- fully met.-- Nothing fixes more defin- itely and” permanently ‘the —éstimate which people put upon us thah tne doing ot the not doing of theso things, which in the eyes of some who make thom or put themsclves under them seem so sniall. The person who Keeps promises, fills punctually ap- pointments and meets promptly on- kagementy and discharges obligations may stfely be depended upon and trusted, while the one who falls in such htings Is generally unreliablo and not trustworthy. No one should give his word for anything with out due consideration as (o-the probabil. ity arid possibility of Keeping the sume, as-well as having behind it the intention of doing what is promised or agreed upon.» Of course these are may make the. Keeping of ones word altogethér. out ofthe ronch and con- tel of the pefson making the promise or giving. the word that carries with it an obligation. We do not insis that all promises should be kent even when it is possible to do so—for we tink that a bad promiso ts best Kep! when soonest broken, and some up: pointments may be made that on re- ftection and additional information 4 may be the wisest course not to keor such.

NOTICE TO BARBERS A Word to my Tonsorial Brothers of Baltimore City. Having read the Barbers' Journal for the past five years I find it very helpful in giving much tonsorial information from all over the country. I learned that they would really know what is going on to their interest. There are two popular shaving emporiums closing evenings at 8 o'clock, and both are doing justice to themselves but to their able assistants in giving them more daylight time—just what the government has asked all to do in these war times, thereby demonstrating our justice and preparing yourselves economically. By closing one hour earlier you save a great deal in fuel and light annually. White barbers close at 7—why not the collar? Our job is to help your business improve wonderfully. Everyone has shorter hours more and are earning more money. Why not the barbers? Our profession is just as important as the public, and this no onecademy. A hint to the wise is sufficient. C. & P.

For others who do not know the truth and are surnering 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 attained a cure of tuberculosis. I was sent to the John Hopkins, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayley, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was best to die at my own home as I worked. I helped only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1669 N. Carey street, Baltimore, Md., as he was the best out on lungs. I went to him in company and any sick I had only 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. Thank God am living, and on November 17, 1917, I went to the hospital. 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.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN OUR PART IN THE WAR (A THE BEST) The American Negroes—Chas. Wright and six helpers—at Sparrows Point drove 4,875 rivets in nine hours, or nine rivets for every minute of the working day—the American record.) As much as those who charge and serve the guns Are those who speed our ships, whose growing tons Support our battle-line and save our sons. In this war-tournament, who serves to win We judge him by his service, not his skin. And in war's brotherhood we hold him kin. Black knights of hardy service to the farm. Around the smoky world there runs aplause And white hands reach to grasp your potent paws. —EDMUND VANCE COOKE (Copyright, 1918, N. E. A.) OUR PART IN THE WAR The high devotion, courage and service willingly rendered by our people is unquestioned. The life of the Negro has been so varied that he is naturally, courageous and able to adapt himself to circumstances. Our part in this great war amounts to more than appears on the surface. How do we measure up compared to the women of other races. We are fighting for democracy in every sense of the word, and when the accounting comes, we certainly will not be found among the missing. They tell us that forty per cent of our young men were rejected for military service because of physical disability. If the draft would have been of young men, we would have been pronounced unfit. It is not only necessary that the women be physically fit at this time, that are doing government work, but we should all feel it our patriotic duty to be in such a condition as will enable us to do and give the best that is in us. Our women should not be hacking in this respect. We have had many burdens to bear and now comes the supreme test to show what we can do. Our men are in the fight to stay until the finish. Our men have to be physically fit to fight, and we must be physically fit to help them with this war, and we should do our very best to keep in good health. We must not only take care of our own health, we should take care of our children's health and look especially after our babies. Government is willing to help them to be well, all he asks is our co-operation. The woman who does not care for her health and help to save the children is a shacker, and we want no shacking it this time. We of all women can not afford to be shackers, we have we too must at stake. Our men who are not fighting in the trenches or preparing to fight in the trenches are fighting here at home. We are developing champions in all lines of industry. Charles Knight is the world's champion River- Turbans are made of ravelled ribbon. Yokes on capes are very deep and wide. French blue is in demand for blouses. Heavy twill cottons are in great demand for skirts and sport suits. Net embroidered in high relief is a favorite on French lingerie. Collar and cuff sets for very young girls resemble those for women. Steelvelts jackets have full gathered capes and are often made of shamung. Voile and gingham frocks have wide sashes of self material lined with organdie. Simple frocks of silk or chiffon have a most important place in the summer outfit. Even if the fashionable skirt is straight and marrow it allows freedom of movement. Colored linens are much used as rocks for big girls. They have white pique collars and cuffs. There are as many opuses with their tails worn inside of the skirts as here are worn outside. The almost forgotten calico dress isack in remarkable favor for house and porch dresses. Its new printings are too lovely for any woman to resist. HOUSEHOLD NOTES Bread should not begin to brown until it has been in the oven for at least fifteen minutes. Scraps of bread should not be allowed to accumulate in the bread box. They should be browned in the oven for bread crumbs. A piece of white blotter placed under the table-cloth where the flower stands in the centre of the table will prevent any possible moisture from spoiling the table. Received this morning a copy of the Argonaut for June the last issue or this year. I've read every page and found it very interesting and instructive. Am more than sorry that was so late becoming acquainted with the publication. The students of a Colored Training School are to be graduated. They have set the be for next year's students to to-l- I wish them success, and a pervious year.-Margaret Black. er and Edward Burrell and this crew have set the pace for pile driving. We have our heroes among the fighting force in France of which Henry Johnson and his companion stand among those at the top. So it is up to us to talk together, sing together, get together, don't get weary of Thrift, Buy Liberty Bonds, War Saving Stamps, Thrift Stamps, and do not fail this year in canning, storing in canning, and drying lost loss in spoilage than some experienced house wives, because they paid attention to details. Do not use poor rubbers and defective cans, and expect good results, because you'll not get it. Our women, the majority of them are adepts at canning, drying and preserving fruits and vegetables. It is a heritage that has been handed down from our great grand-mothers. In the saving of wheat, our people are champions. They have known the use of barley, rye, and corn for ages. It takes our women to show the white race how to conserve food. The success of our young people today is owing to their mothers and grandmothers knowing how to conserve food, and how to make one dollar the duty of two. In the uses of corn meal our women have no equals. What they can not do with that one article is not worth mentioning. In the July issue of Modern Priscilla, Porta Smiley, of Boston, gives 11 recipes for the use of corn meal, and the promise of others are to follow. Her Last Forever Ginger-bread and Batter Bread the only two I have tried so far are delicacies. If food is to win this war, we know how to do our part, cheerfully or otherwise. It matters not, we must buy the food substitutes and we must use them. If you do not know how attend your nearest cooking center. Don't cook them one way until your family would rather do without, than come home to a meal. There are many ways of cooking all substitutes and if you can not find any other way, then write the U. Department Agriculture at Washington, for Farmers' Union for canning, preserving and salting. Farmer's Bulletin 563. Corn meal and ways of using it Bulletin 565. There is no excuse for not knowing how these days. So do not be a snacker, but study your part in this war and do it willingly and cheerfully and help your boy or husband to fight for democracy. One more thing in helping to win this fight, don't forget about the directions on the letter you are sending to your soldier. Remember that there are over three million pieces of mail each month for soldier boys in France, and that it takes 30 days—sometimes less—to receive your mail. There are sounds of John Henry Smiths, George W. Thompson and Charles Edward Williams in the army, so do not direct your letter to C. E. Williams, but give his full name company—infantry or whatever company and service we in is also put in the left hand corner of your envelope your name and address in full, and many distressing delays will be avoided.

LET US PRAY FOR VICTORY The custom, of burning incense is ancient and widely spread. The offering of incense has formed a part of religious ceremonies of ancient nations. See Cor. Ex., St. Luke, Rev. Par. Lev., Cant., etc. When the nation was troubled God told aloes burn incense. Many of good Americans burn their incense in their prayers and worshippers for their own benefits and also for our country's victory. There is a good reason for using Psychological Temple Incense in our prayers. In old times the use of incense was considered essential to thank and please God for favors granted and to keep away evil. In our difficulties now as in old times we are turning to God for help and are using His blessed incense for our personal benefits and for our dear brothers and sisters abroad who are fighting God's Some fourteen years ago I had a vision about the world war, the details of which are well known to my friends. Now again the voice of God has spoken to me and I feel it my duty to inform you that God provides you to lift your mind, and soul to victory history at least twice and use our blessed Temple uncease which I have blessed for Victory. God has shown me that he wants our country to be successful in establishing His Justice. His Freedom, His righteousness over the entire world. Are you willing to help us carry the burden, be the MILITARY soldier, be a soldier of the LORD, be a soldier in prayer, be a soldier in doing your duty to God and to our dear Country for Democracy, Justice and Liberty's sake. We must all help the best way we can. Here are God's own works: Soldiers Jesus is our Captain.--Hold it. He will lead us in the fight...John x:4. He will strengthen, guide and help us—II Cor.

Diddle St. 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 perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sooby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of a restorative 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 Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting; Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstreet or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you. Write to Seeby Drug Co., 79 East 130th street, New York City, for a sample of Quinade, mentoring the name of this paper. -Advt Mme. M. A.
