Cummings, exalted ruler of the Monumental Lodge, No. 3 welcomed the delegates in the name of the local lodge and Grand Exalted Ruler Armand W. Scott and Past Grand Exalted Ruler J. Frank Wheaton responded. EXALTED RULER RESPONDS In the course of his remarks, Mr. Scott spoke of the patriotic sacrifices colored people are making to win the war, and of the bravery of Henry Johnson and Norton Roberts at the French front. He said: "And they are going to continue this same splendid record until every enemy of liberty and justice and civilization and equal opportunities has been driven from the face of the earth. And may God grant that when the battle has been won, we too will enjoy the fruits of our inswers we too will enjoy in truth and indeed true world democracy; we too will realize the prayer and dream of that sainted Scotch poet, Robert Burns—'When man to man the world n'er shall Brothers be and a'that.'"

CLK'S LUNCH ROOMS 13 WHITE SOLDIERS ARRESTED FOR SHOOTING WITHOUT ORDERS New York, August 20—The facts regarding the race riot at Camp Merritt N. J., of August 17, in which it was reported that several men were killed and wounded, were ascertained today in an interview with Col. J. A. Marmon, commanding officer of the camp by Walter F. White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The morning papers of August 20 stated that the camp was closed to newspaper reporters and others seeking information regarding the disturbance, but the Association, in keeping with its policy of aiding the government in allaying suspicion and preventing friction between the races, sent Mr. White to obtain the facts in the case. These were given to him freely by Col. Marmon and show that the incident was not as serious as was at first supposed. On the night when the trouble occurred two colored soldiers were ejected from Y. M. C. A. 2 by two southern white men, when their presence was resented by the southern white men, although there is no discrimination allowed in any of the Y. M. C. A. buildings, and the colored soldiers had a perfect right to be there. As they left the building a chair was thrown at them. Previous to this incident there had been one or two NORFOLK BOYS PASSING THE AFRO-AMERICAN OFFICE minor clashes between soldiers of both races, who were quartered in adjacent sections of the camp, which necessitated both using the same general street. The white soldiers involved were from Mississippi; white the colored were from Camps Dodge Taylor, Grant and Sherman. About half an hour after the election of the two colored soldiers from the Y. P. C. A. 2, a white soldier, was cut by a colored soldier. Continuity to press accounts, he was not badly cut, nor did he die. Colonel Marion stated that his wounds, were so trivial that it has been unnecessary for the wounded man to apply at a hospital for treatment. For this reason they have been unable to learn who the wounded man, nor has it been possible to learn who the assaultant is. Shortly after this occurrence, groups of soldiers of both races, gathered in one of the camp streets and threats wee passed. Fearing trouble, the guard was called and orders were given to the men to disperse. The guard consisted of between thirty and forty men in charge of a sergeant. Standing at a short distance from the guard officers of both the white and colored troops conferred as to the best method of preventing further trouble. A group of the colored troops were moying away in obedience. Continued no Page 4. History. Governor Edge Delivers Fine Address Atlantic City. August 21—There are many who think the Nineteenth Annual Session of the Business League held here during the week the most notable in the history of the organization. Certainly there have never been more distinguished speakers, nor a heartier spirit of welcome extended the delegates by any city of the country. The sessions which began August 21 and extended thru Friday evening were attended by delegates from all sections. There were so many notable persons to come in during the meetings that the business in hand was constantly interrupted. In this respect the sessions did not have the snap and strict attention to business that has characterized former gatherings. GOVERNOR EDGE'S SPEECH Delivering the welcome address no behalf of the State of New Jersey, Governor Edge made a most outspoken and many utterance the League has ever listened to. He said: "We have among the troops white and colored men of every nationality, now all Americans, of course. We have nearly every race thrown together and properly so. They are going to be more tolerant Continued on-Page Four Oklahoma City, Okla., August 21—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People yesterday addressed a telegram to R. L. Williams, Governor of Oklahoma, protesting against the shooting of N. Widow, a Negro barber, of Dewey, Oklahoma, who was accused of shooting and killing Chief of Police Mull and seriously wounding City Clerk George DeYoung. After the Negro was shot by the mob, he was taken in charge by officers from the sheriff's office. The mob, enraged at being cheated of its victim, went to a suburb of Dewey, known as "Little Africa" and burned this community, destroying two hundred homes, two churches and a schoolhouse. None of the Negroes robbed of their homes was even remotely connected with the crime. The Association protested not only against the grave injustice to these people but also against the material damage done to the nation at this critical period of its history, thus unsettling labor in that community with its attendant lessening of the food supply so greatly needed by the allied MONUMENTAL LODGE, BALTIMORE'S OWN The National Equal Rights League headed by Byron Gunner and Wim Monroe Trotter, will hold an organizing drive in Chicago in September. This is the eleventh annual meeting of the Congress, which invites all civic church, educational and business organizations to send delegates.

COTT GROWS STOUT IN ARMY Private Scott, with the 306 Labor battalion in France writes that the air agrees with him, and he now tips the scales at 190 pounds.

I never contemplate defeat, but the contrary. FRENH EAT TWO BREAKFASTS Mrs. Mamie Payne, of 631 West Julberry street, has received an interesting reply that she sent her aphew, Corporal Wm. II. Douglass, who is now in France. The letter, in part, follows: "There is no danger of my being anything else but what you desire. You can rest assured that I will carry you richer in that respect." Every boy over here has done well and will continue to do so, even if it means the supreme sacrifice. We are all willing to do our share toward making the world safe for democracy. I have been in France going on four months. Everything is so different from home and our way of doing things. The French eat two breakfasts, one early in the morning before they start to work and then another at $ o'clock. They go out for dinner about 11:30 and then have the nerve to knock off at $ o'clock to eat what they call a light lunch. They work, then until about seven when they finish, and I guess, go home and eat and drink until bedtime. "Everybody drinks from the youngest to the oldest. Cafes and burettes (saloons we would call them) abound and are found everywhere, you turn. They are open every day in the year from early in the morning up till one at night.

Pratt has returned firm a visit abroad, where he went, presumably to make a study of conditions among colored soldiers. When the Afro-American published exclusively last May that Mr. Pratt was to go to Europe on such a mission it was denied. The fact that he is a trusted and intimate friend of Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, lent credence to the rumor. When seen by a representative of the Afro-American, Mr. Pratt declined to say anything for publication, declaring the same would have to be authorized from other sources. He denied that he had been to France, but admitted he had been to England, where thousands of colored troops are being trained for active service in France. Mr. John C.

WOMEN URGED TO WORK. Dr. William Jennifer, special examiner of the Employment Division of the U. S. Department of Labor, addressed both the Grand Lodge in convention and the Daughter Elks on Thursday afternoon. Dr. Jennifer spoke of the government's program and means by which the Elks could help in winning the war. Food conservation, the weeding out of snackers and non-employed, and employment of women were especially emphasized. He said in part: "The women of France are harnessed to the plow in teams of six and eight, another woman stands between the handles and guides them. These women are doing the major portion of all the work in the fields and in the munition factories. "In our own country women are working as farmersets also, and as stewardors. I refer to white women. In fact, women must come to take the places of the men in all of the large fields of service in the country. Our colored women, too, are doing their part, and I want to urge them even more strongly to do any work that their hands find to do. No considerations of any kind or description ought to hinder them from making themselves indispensable among the country's patriots." ATLANTIC CITY NEXT YEAR. A feature of the closing hours of the Thursday session was the entrance of a committee of ladies bearing fraternal greetings from the Grand Temple, Daughters of Eiks. Atlantic City was selected as the next place of meeting.

Already continental women in the munition factories and in agriculture have proved their worth to the allied forces. Likewise Germany would have to stop fighting before next Spring if the farmerettes and women workers in every field where men work, should strike and do no more work. Not only in the Red Cross and allied organizations, but in every activity except actual fighting the women of our In America, the United States has made the beginning to believing the shortage in unskilled labor by utilizing the skills colored women. In the Atlantic Refining Company, wage shops are "manned" by colored women. Work-packing shells, and doing other light work in the explosives Company. The Director of the Pennsylvania of the Government Employment Service has all ice plants in the country to employ colored women to avoid the shortage in ice that has struck the sole country. This is his word: "Employ colored women, and the ice situation will be solved in no time." In the whole entry, women are getting something they never had before, opportunity to work at a man's wage. Knowing what women are doing in Lupore, and what they will be forced to do here if the war lasts long enough, a rath-foolishly fastidious protest has been made by the N. A. A. P. of Lotisville, Kentucky, against the employment of 200 lored women as street sweepers in that city. Their chief son as stated in their letter to the Board of Public Works city is the following: "While we are entirely conscious of the unusual conditions prevailing at present, at the same time, we believe that the work or sweeping horse manure and trash in the streets of Louisville by women is degrading, and further, that it gives the general public a new measure of dis-repect for colored women. In other words, it gives the public at large an opportunity to judge all colored women of whatever station or refinement, by this class and this character of work." If there can be an expression of pride more false than real, it has yet to be seen. Sweeping the streets is an essential work. No city can have dirty streets and a low death rate at the same time. Sweeping the streets is honorable. Any woman can do honorable work, no matter how lowly it is, and keep her womanhood. We judge people by their character, not by their jobs. For a half century, colored people have struggled for an opportunity to work. The war has brought it, and it would be too bad if a milk-and-water modesty and false pride kept anyone from taking full advantage of it. This applies to men, but a thousand times more does it apply to women.

The municipal auditorium management has made a report to Deputy U. S. Attorney Goldstein and District Attorney Evans which makes us ashamed of our white skins. When the men of the last selective draft were being entertained at the auditorium, the supply of pies ran out. S. Gevurtz, in charge of the dinner, telephoned a woman friend explaining the dilemma. The latter promised to secure the necessary pies. A little later she phoned Mrs. Gevurtz, asking if the soldiers at the dinner were white men. "Because," she added, "if they are niggers, we won't send the pies." * * * Recently a "riot" was reported by a Portland newspaper as occurring in a restaurant near the union depot. The "riot" has been investigated. Colored troops passing thru Portland, entered the restaurant. The proprietor later explained that he had a sign, "White Trade Only Solicited," but on that day the sign was not in evidence. The soldiers found seats and waited. When it became evident that they would not be served, they left and enroute, they kicked over a chair or two, for which we don't in the least blame them. ONE PATRIOTIC NEGRO IS WORTH A THOUSAND SUCH RESTAURANTEURS. * * * When the last group of Portland colored soldiers entrained for Camp Lewis, it was stated a number of Portland policemen refused to march in the escort to the depot. Negro soldiers are good fighters. They are brave to recklessness in a pinch. They've fought for the Union in past wars, and they're fighting for democracy now.

They have worked against great odds with greatest handicaps, and sometimes, I fear, with least appreciation." Dr. Moton's message to the League was to the effect—"to make up our minds pretty clearly to stand behind our news papers." Individually, suggested the principal of Tuskegee, this could be done and was being done in subscriptions and advertisements. But as a whole the League should come together with the Colored Press Association to open offices in the great advertising centres like New York and Chicago, and have "honest, earnest, aggressive young men to present to advertisers and advertising agencies the buying power of the Negro race, the power of the Negro press." It is true that since the war the millions of colored people have come into direct contact with the government publicity agents thru colored newspapers. These newspapers have established in a broad way a good-will with the government. In the same way, thru following Dr. Moton's suggestion, the business men of both races could be gotten together in a way that they are not together now, with corresponding benefits to each.

Thru the death of Tillman, and the defeat of Cole Blease and Vardaman in the primaries for reelection, the Senate loses three figures, which for a decade have stood in the limelight. Not only is this so, but long-haired haranguers of this type are fast disappearing from Congress—and it is good. President Wilson made it known to the constituencies of Mississippi and South Carolina that he would consider the reelection of these men as condemnation of his own administration. They were characterized as very little "American," and there is no secret of the reason why. No one has ever accused these mne of pro-German attitude or pro-German utterances, altho one of them was numbered among the "willful twelve" as the President termed them and voted to warn all Americans off ships in the submarine zones. The crime of these men consisted in the fact that they brought in the Negro problem in every question at issue. No matter how embarrasing it might be to the administration to have the Negro mentioned at all, or how necessary haste was in the measure before the Senate, these men dragged the Negro into it from the point of view of the rabid Southernner. If a war measure could not be passed without keeping the Negro in the place allotted him by the Southern Copperheads, then these three men voted every time against the war measure. In this sense they were not real Americans, in this sense they were disloyal, and with President Wilson, we are glad to be rid of them. IT IS TO LAUGH. directors of singing in cantonments or appointed, colored people were not it is not a colored song leader for an thousand men now in the service. Witness spectacle of a Jew, Max Weinsch all colored troops. His appointment, Weinstein has been and other centres studying music of When directors of singing in cantonments of the country were being appointed, colored people were not notified. As a result, there is not a colored song leader for any of the three hundred thousand men now in the service. We are treated to the ludicrous spectacle of a Jew, Max Weinstein, in charge of music for all colored troops. Since his appointment, Weinstein has been at Tuskegee, Hampton and other centres studying music of colored people. After one short year's work he poses as the best informed man on Negro music in the country. Nathaniel Dett, of Hampton, Harry Burlleigh, of New York, and others like them who have made Negro songs what they are today by devoting their lives to, it are passed over for a parvenue like Weinstein. White people can teach colored people a good many things. When they presume to teach colored people how to interpret their own songs, it is going a little too far. It is no wonder Camp Meade laughed at Weinstein on his first appearance. They should have laughed him off the platform. Noting in your issue of August 9th, News in Brief that it is difficult for black men to enlist in the British army, we refute the same. As Britishers of the black race in Baltimore, there are among us members of the West Indian Forum and the West Indian Cricket Club. One of us served seven years in various parts of Europe, in the British army. We would ask the editor to take a trip to some of the British West Indian Islands, such as Jamaica, Barbados, St. Lucia, Bermuda, or South and West Africa and other parts of the Empire. Then he would be convinced that the British Empire has no color line. As long as the sons of Briton are alive, the Union Jack of England shall wave forever GEORGE D. MORRISS ox-soldier W. RANKIN GEO. A. MATTHISON. A. ALLEN. DEMOCRACY PROTESTS Dear Editor: Do the officers and employees of the Baltimore and Washington and Annapolis railway know that we are officially fighting for democracy and fairplay in Europe? And do they also know that we are just as willing to have such democracy and fair play on their interurban lines? We wish to protest against the treatment which their employees accord colored people who buy tickets from Baltimore to Washington, and especially against the brutal, rough handling of Mr. Carl J. Murphy one of the most valuable and best behaved of our fellow-citizens. On Saturday, August 17 Mr. Murphy preferred to take a vacant seat in the front car, rather than in the "trailer." White passengers ride in either car at their pleasure, but the employees assaulted Mr. Murphy because, he would not go into the rear car. It is not necessary for us to decide here the legality of such discrimination and of thus attempting to make colored passengers humiliate themselves. Any good court can do that. But we are speaking of what has long ago been settled by the court: the undoubted right of a citizen to be free from assault, even if in the opinion of some other person he is passively violating some rule or regulation. A man who is peacefully occupying a seat or attempting to assume a vacant seat, is not to be assaulted because some other person is of the opinion that he has no right ot do so. If he does not agree with the other person, the obvious remedy is to have him arrested. But these employees assumed the private right to adjust the matter: they handled this man roughly, broke up his glasses and his hat and "delivered" him to a policeman. Persident Wilson has spoken out unequivocally and uncompromisingly against such mobbish and extra-legal procedure, and the President's protest holds good whether the mob be two employees of a corporation or two hundred hoodlums from the slums. The President would not excuse honorable people for crimes condensed in the dishonorable This is not the first or the second instance of the bad treatment accorded colored passengers on this line. In common sense there is no reason why colored people should be restricted when they go from Baltimore to Washington, if they cannot be restricted when they come from Washington to Baltimore. And Baltimore should not accustom itself inferior to Washington as a community. The steam road officials recognized the ludicrousness of this situation long ago and abandoned the Jiharrowing of colored people in either direction between these cities. Almost every dispatch from France brings news of the gallant action of colored American troops, and they are fighting to break the back of just such tyranny and oppression. Mr. Carl Murphy is a colored man who was educated in Harvard and in Europe, who 'has been for years a professor in Howard University, who is editor of the Baltimore Afro-American, one of the best weeklies in the country. And it would be difficult for the W. B. & A. people to prove to Murphy's acquaintances, white or black, that he is unfit to sit in a car with other ordinary citizens. But when we discriminate, we are very undiscriminating. WILLIAM PICKENS. Morgan College, Baltimore, Md. Georgia has lynched 25 Negroes since the war began. Governor Dorsey has allowed six weeks to pass with out replying to the N. A. A. C. P. asking what action had been taken to bring the mob to justice. Last week this telegram was sent: "What can we tell America concerning Georgia's governor's co-operation with our President in helping to stamp out mob violence. ( LIQUOR TOTERS DISCHARGED. Twenty-two porters of the Pullman Company have been discharged since May, according to the statement of the General Superintendent, for carrying liquor into dry territory, or furnishing it to passengers on trains. Twenty of these have applied for reinstatement, but under the Government administration of railroads, they will not get their jobs back. Three porters are now in jail in South Carolina awaiting action of the United States Court. The Pullman Company has issued a warning to all its employees, against bootlegging. Some of the discharged men have been in the employ of the company for thirty years. the aviation service. Just wanted a niche he could call his own so he could be near her; and so he could lie down and sleep o'nights when on leave in New York City. H e had, the room nine days and nine nights so I figured everything must be alight for he certainly looked as fit as a fiddle. He had no nightmares, no violent dreams, and no night visitors or noises of an unwelcome kind. After spreading out my things, I extended my arms in a long breath and stretch of satisfaction and cried a joyful Eurekai! My soldier companion assured me I need fear no discomfort, except sometimes he got in a little late, but he hoped he would not annoy me on such occasions. After cautioning me about the electric light—to pull the chain down for turning on and the same way for turning out—Sammy left. I settled down and began to prepare for my first period in-English SIB at $3.90 a. m.) I started in with contemporary drama and fiction of England, Germany, France and Italy; scanned the work of Meredith, Hardy, Galsworthy, Wolls and Shaw; Ibson, Bjornson, Lagerlof, Hauptman and Suderman; Zola, Roland, Fogarozzo, etc., until the lines and pages ran together and my brain whirled. Half dazed I pulled out the light, sought my side of the bed and fel in heavily. I was dimly conscious of the sereaching of the bed-spring as it were settling slowly under my weight, and a scraping noise as of a chain against tin or glass, repeated several times. I know no more Toward daylight, a pitiful meaning just outside the door, followed by a hysterical sobbing and agitated rapping, caused me to sit bolt upright. "Pleeze! Pleeze! May I come in? May I see him? Pleeze! Pleeze!" I jumped up, threw on my dressing gown, and jerked open the door. A bundle of films crepe-de-chine, much moistened, fell limply into my arms. "La bonne Marie," I cried in amazement. "What are you doing here? What is the matter? Why are you crying? Nothing is wrong with me! I'm all right. I'm due at the University at 8:30 a.m. I want to get there for English SLE." "Tees him! 'Tees him! Francois!" she said in short, cachy breaths, at the same time pointing to the bed and the form stiff in khuki. Gently placing Mario in a chair and a pillow at her back, I hastened to the bedside. There lay Francois, puttees and all. I lifted his arm. It fell like a stick. I felt his pulse. It had caused. His eyes were fixed and glassy. A wide, deep puripe bruise covered the left side of his face about the point of the jaw. I stood transfixed, dazed, bewildered, wondering. Marie holding her face in her handkerchief with one hand, ineffectually blocking the treasum of tears, stretched her free hand toward me, and, in grusome silence, dropped at my feet a crumpled piece of paper. I picked it up, opened it carefully and read: Miss Marie Deslys: Francois injured in a friendly boxing bout. We applied first-aid treatment. He received somewhat and insisted upon going alone to his room. He'll be all right by morning. He asked us to notify you. Five Company Friends. A vivid recollection of the screeching bed-spring and the scraping chain flashed through my mind. I looked at Marie, then at the lifeless form on the bed, then at myself in the mirror. "Ze look so much like—Ze look so much like—" "Yes, Jimmy, its all clear as a bell now." "Zounds, that was hard on you, old boy. So you're really going to hand up our little compact, are you? asked Jimmy, now serious and sympathetic. Standing at attention, I saluted and replied: "Yes, Jimmy. I go to take Frances' place for Uncle Sam, and for—her, Marie." "A Sammy for a Sammy," said Jimmy, grasping my hands with patriotic fervor. Arrested for Shooting Cnotinued from Page 1. to the command of the guard when suddenly, without a command being given shots rang out and five of the colored men fell. The sergeant in command of the guard rushed in at once and knocked up the guns to prevent further firing. One colored soldier was killed, four wounded, none of them seriously, and all will recover. The most seriously wounded of the four has a bullet wound in his groin and one of the fingers of his left hand is shot off, evidently by the same bullet. The man killed was shot in the back. The guns of the guard were immediately examined after the shooting and thirteen of them were found to have been fired. The thirteen men to whom these guns belonged were immediately arrested and placed in the guard house. Col. Marmon stated that these men would be tried for firing without orders and punished if found guilty.

Everything went wert until he made the statement "I am pastor here and none of you folks can put me out. He was grabbed by several members of the congregation and pulled from the pulpit. Police saved him from rough handling. At the police court Monday the justice doubted whether the minister could be ousted from office in that way, but advised him to stay away. Elks held their business sessions A IN SUNNY FRANCE Swimming Pool, Bath House and Everything Else to Rejoice a Soldier's Heart. A model officer, a young first lieutenant, a Yale man, in command of a company of Negro stewardors, at one of the great ports in France knows how to make his men happy and effective soldiers. These men were all from the cotton fields of Georgia and Alabama and the levees of lower Mississippi. They were magnificent physical specimens, but fully seventy-five per cent were illiterate. Some officers would have looked upon them as animals only fit to work. But this officer was a real person, and to him such stewardess was an individual. He made out of scanty materials a comfortable, sanitary, up-to-date camp for his regiment. He had a bathhouse and a swimming pool, a laundry, a big, cool, screened kitchen, a club for officers and a sitting room for the men. He had a cooking squad that was the envy of the neighborhood and meals that were famous for miles around. He told me how he did it. He said that he felt sure that among all those Negroes there, must be a lot of individual talent, and he went to work to find it. He found one man who was a soup and meat cook when he was not a cotton picker, and this man was made soup and meat cook. He found another cook to whom he entrusted the vegetables. Another man was taught in the town to cook desserts and pastry. When spring game this resourceful young lieutenant planted a garden, detaching certain men from their stevedoring genough to spade, cultivate and plant. He had one of the happiest, healthiest, most efficient working forces I saw in France. R. H.

Address D. Newton E. Camphell, B. S., M. D. 1369 N. Carey St., Baltimore Md. I was sick for years. As a white man, it was natural to go to white doctors. And I went to the best of them in Baltimore. Some said one thing and others another thing about my illness. I tried the hospitals. They did me good and I grew warts all the time. Though at first I assaulted yet, from strong recommendations of persons he had cared, I decided to try Dr. David Campbell, the Lung and Nerve Specialist, 1369 Carey street. After examining me he laughed and said he was sorry for me. He told me things no other doctor ever touched upon. He has treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. My friend who had a four year old son, who had convulsions and could scarcely stand or walk, went to this same doctor through my recommendation Since the first treatment the child has had no more spasms, and is now running about. The parents are delighted and declared to me recently that Dr. Campbell is one out of hundreds of doctors. Health is better than money and people who are seeking health should put prejudice aside, whether they be white or colored, and go to the doctor, who can surely do them good. He has done wonders for me and I am not afraid to tell it.

A sharp, pungent odor of tupentine greeted me as I opened the door and entered. Good night! I hope you rest brightly and sleep soundly" was the brzee waked to me by my mother's headlady as she retraced her steps down the stairway. The room was park. I lit a match and groomed arm for the gas jet. Suddenly finding it high in the wall, I turned it in full and applied the match. The time leaped to the ceiling. Turning it down quickly I saw there was no cap on the burner. I sat down on the side of the couch to reconnetre. The only other furniture in the room was one hard-bottom chair sitting jonessomely in a corner by the one window the law demands. On the walls of this briefly incosed third-floor section of a Christian home were such mottoes as "God Bless Our Home," "He Gives His Beloved Sleep," "The Blessings in a Peace That Passeth All Understands be Upon This House" embraced there, perhaps as solace for patients just before embracing "twin brother." I was tired I threw my clothes on the chair and fell on the bed-couch. In ten minutes the mottoes faded from my eyes, and my immaternal self had taken no nontural charge of things. I became a King, the lone chair my throne. The bed couch grew more posts at each corner with handsomely carved figures, elaborate cappings and covers hung from the foot and sides, and an immaterial canopy held itself in suspense over me. I hid myself out lengthily my favorite attitude for contemplation, and ordered my attendants to leave. Then I planned the disposition of my world empire after the year. Duke William should be King of Lithuania, Prince Henry should be King of Finland, another of my sons should reign in Vilna, another in array, and all should govern as I should govern as I should command: Serbia, Siberia, France, and— But something pricked my legs, my thighs, my chest, my shoulders, my mouth, my nose, my eyes, my good arm, my withered arm. Am I in Liliput? or am I the victim of a Foch and the abominable Frano-American conspiracy? In the middle of a convulsive snore, I came to myself. The kingly bed, throne and trappings all vanished. I brushed something from my lips, I cracked something on my chest, I struck my arms together. I kicked my legs. I swept my hands up and down and around my whole body and a snapping as of a thousand electric sparks followed in their wake. I jumped up and the flaming gas. Shades of Galliver! I was covered from head to foot with the immemorial infantry of my bed, the animals attacking every strategic muscle, hurt and tender. Reflahence in the reserve were ushering to fill the positions left open to the heroic dead that covered the sheets and pillows. After I had completed the blood-letting down to the last beligerent and blocked all the camouflaged rendiculous in the corners of the couch and the holes of the walls. I reflected: "Quiet and refined Christian family home like surroundings, etc., etc." I skipped the meaning of turpentine. Next day, I informed the motherly landlady, "I am sorry, madam, but I have a hurry call home and am leaving this afternoon." "So soon" she said apprehensively, and, looking me straight in the eyes, of course, you know you rented by the book and you forfeit the balance of your money." "Satisfactory," I assured her, glad to escape. "But you didn't go home," leased Jimmy. "No," I snapped, "neither did the French after the German offensive." I simply "took Uncle Jonathan's" First Aid to Room Hunters' out of my pocket, and ostensibly looking for train schedule which win-the-war economies have cut out of the newspapers, I thumb-marked another, rectangular box running thursly. I reached room for a nice gentleman; single man, student preferred; artiste surroundings, maid service, summer concessions, private bath. I lbed me there bug and baggage. Never mind how I managed. No, it was no threetwenty black and white aviator, but I got there just the same and in spite of the bayonetting I had suffered the night before. The lady of the house, in a foreign accent, told me everything would be just as represented. La bonne Marie led me straightway to the third floor and back to the very end. She discovered all the cupboards to me, the private bath, cautioned me about the dumbbailower opening, instructed me how to ring for hot and cold water, and—oh hot!—how to ring for her. And I must corroborate. Jimmy. The room was furnished. One small bamboo centre table, two near-oak chairs, one near-oak chifonier, one near-oak bureau, one hollow brass bedside of comfortable size, with good springs, an Ostermoor, and fresh clean linen, and two bevel mirrors set in the doors of two cupboards facing each other at acute angles and opening to a straight angle in the middle so you could see the crease of your pants, the set of your jeans, and the set of your forward/backward and sideward at one and the same time. "Looks like a change for the better." I said to myself as I cased into the rocker. "I'd like to wipe ze mirrors and clean ze nickle and ze porcelain of the bathroom if M'sieur don't mind," said Labonne Marie with a 'graceful cour- tesy. test. Certainly, Mam'selle." I said in my best manner. "I'm going to get something to eat at the self-feder automaton I hear about down on Broadway, so take all the time you want even if it's 'till I get back." "Oh, you honey boy," said Jimmy in a thinly disguised jadeous tone of laughter. "A mere pleasantry, nothing more, my undisciplined young friend." Student preferred! Returning to my nice furnished room, I leisurely disrobed, admired my B.V.D. form in the mirrors, occupied my pajamas, and made ready to divide two hours between the latest war news and my corn-cob pipe, with honors in favor of war news. For comfortable reflection between the lines and puffs, I arranged my torso I mute rocker and elevated my feet to the top of the centre table. I don't know how many hours my senses were thus absorbed, but somewhere around midnight, one of the corporate combination of my five senses was disturbed, distracted from the others by a weeping concentration of brass, string and wood-winds sounds. My other for senses rushed to the aid of the one first attacked. There seemed a fullness of genuine sounding' among the attacking burrow that I wondered if Chude Debusy had succeeded in 'putting across' from spirit realm a tone picture or poem of the last Hun retreat from the Marine. During the first hour I was all cars, expectant; the second I was filled with new and terrible sensations; the third, I was desperately stopping at every cruck and crevice; and daylight found me in it conatose condition, holding on to the dumb-waiter arresting the ascension of four full cases of Pilsner. Gradually recovering, I staggered across the floor and pushed the button for Marie. It was five minutes before she came, and then out of breath, holding her hands to her cars. "Museum! Museum!" she cried. "Zo ring for me! Zo still calling for me! Vat ces cet! Vat e-c-s ect we wish!" "Did your compatriot, Debussy, really die, or was it a hum-truth? Do they play always, Marie, from midnight till morning, and soak it in Pilsner." "Zey are ze artists in ze room above, all mending Germans, Miseur. Ze kay, vat ze call eet? Zats eet, ze alien enemies haw—let hold zair coat tail and zair mouth and tongue by day and Frau Schumann concedes zem ze night time for express zair feelings in ze music and ze Ipsher for ze forgetfulness," explained Marle, gestichter. "Artistic surroundings, summer concessions," I repeat to myself, self-eliciting the phrase to a buddah hum at Lhurledry pack my bags. "Miseur! Miseur!" Marle cried again this time passionately falling upon her knees, and, with hands clenched, looking toward me—"Ze took so much like—Ze took so much like—" the rest of the sentence was lost somewhere between my mainly breast and shoulder, smothered in sobs, as Marle inclined her head and arms thereabout. Her curress and kiss her. Harry? asked her curress and eyes on fire with instinctive emotion. "Save your tears yet a little while." I replied consolingly. For the third time I seek Uncle Jonathan's First Aid tallman. Going once! going twice! g-o-n-t-g, third and last time. I am more deliberate. Three. I know is a magical number, Jimmy, with potency for success in and of itself. But it might help. If I assist fate just a little. I called the Secretary of War to witness. I cut out all the little 'foom for Rent' rectangles, folded them into homeopathic capsules, pour them into my hat and RUB A LITTLE HER-TRU LINE into the hair every day or two and watch it grow. It is the finest dressing in all the wide world for coarse, stubborn, nappy, kinky or short hair. quickly cures dandruff, itching the scalp, and gives to the hair a rich, youthful appearance.

GROW LONGSTRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Sooby Quinade is a highly medicated hair care that has been used for time. It is a safe and easy food; it stimulates and enriches 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 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 palm oil. Quinade lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and furry 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 Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your drugstor or dealer does not stock these two articles ask him to obtain them for you from his drugstore. If you want to buy will mail them to you.

Boil the potatoes with the jackets on or use cold boiled potatoes left over from dinner. Cut into dice. Then clean a head of lettuce, and take a round platter, arranging the lettuce leaves around the platter. Then mix the potato and salad dressing together. A cut of finely chopped celery is a decided improvement, or you can add two finely chopped onions if you like the flavor of onions, or a teaspoonful of onion salt or flavor. To add to the attractiveness of the dish take a hard boiled egg, cut lengthwise and place around the salad in the shape of a star. Tomato Jelly Salad. Take a pint can of tomatoes and mush through a colander and season very highly. Then use a package of jello dissolved in the pint of tomatoes when boiling hot. Season with a few cloves and a stick of cinnamon. Turn into a mold, let cool and put on ice for the evening meal. Serve on lettuce leaves with myomaise dressing. Put a pint of water in a double boiler; let it come to a boil then add two level tablespoonfuls of cornstarch and one egg. Boil until thick, pour in a small flat pan until cold. When cold slice into two inch cubes, roll in corn meal or barley flour and fry a golden brown. Serve with your tomato jelly salad. CARROT SALAD. Pass thru the meat grinder equal parts of raw carrots and roasted peanuts. Add half the quantity of white celery and three or four leaves of finely shredded lettuce. Season lightly with paprika, salt or a little red pepper if you have no paprika. moisten with a boiled myosalme dressing and heap into a salad bowl lined with crisp lettuce leaves. Grate over the top the yolk of a hard boiled egg. Cut the white of a hard boiled egg into small pieces and lay around the salad. CAN FRUITS FROM SUMMER'S PLENTY FOR YOUR MEANS NEXT WINTER Thoseicious berries, peaches, figs and other fruits so abundant this summer, can be made to supply many desirable desserts for winter and with little trouble. Practically all fruits can be canned at home in ordinary canners or in a large vessel with a tightly fitting cover. In fact fruits are easier to can than most vegetables. They are prepared more quickly and need to be boiled in the jars only once and generally for a shorter time than most vegetables. Canned fruits preserve most of the delicate flavors and succulence of fresh fruits and are the nearest substitute for fruits fresh from bush or tree. They are very valuable in the winter diet. They supply acids and mineral substances very useful in keeping the body in condition. SNOW HILL JOTTINGS.

The fruit acid attacks the zinc coating and makes the product dangerous to health and also spoils its color and flavor. Fruits Canned Without Sugar. Don't let cost or difficulty of obtaining sugar deter you from canning quantities of fruit this year. Fruit can be canned without sugar. Instead of using syrup simply fill the can, with clean hot water and process in a water bath. The fruit will not spoil, but of course will not have the fine color and flavor which it would have if packed in syrup. The use of even a thin syrup in canning fruits will give a more attractive finished product than can possibly be obtained. Fruits canned without sugar or with by canning in water. If sugar is not available, it will be well to consider drying the fruits instead of canning them, since a good dried product is far better than a poor canned one. The importance of canning in less water should be stressed this year because of the high cost of containers, the addition of a very small amount of sugar may be used for pie fillings, desserts and in other ways. Fruits for home use can be canned with corn syrup or refiners' syrup in place of part of the sugar ordinarily used. Syrups with a distinctive flavor add sweetness, but also, of course, change the flavor of the fruit. A little experimenting in handling fruits should enable a housewife to develop various combinations of fruits and sirups which are pleasing to her own family. Caution: Fruits canned with plain water or with other than sugar sirup should not be sold until the jars have been labled to comply with local and federal requirements as to description and contents. How to Can Fruit. Boil empty jars and lids for at least fifteen minutes before you fill them with fruit. Rubber rings, just before being put on the jars should be cleansed by dipping for a minute in a quart of boiling hot water in which a teaspoonful of cooking soda has been dissolved. Take the jars out of the water bothrain quickly and fill, while still hot, with the fruit prepared as described below. Fill the jar with hot syrup or hot water. Put on the lid but do not seal absolutely tight so as to allow for expansion inside the jar. Put the partially sealed jars while still hot, into a hot water canner provided with a false bottom of slats of wire mesh. Do not put cold jars into hot water—or boiling water into cold jars—they'll crack. Boil (process) the filled jars for the time specified in the recipes, counting from when the water in the canner begins to boil again. Remove jars, seal alright; When cold, test for leaks and store in a dark, cool dry place.

GROW LONGSTRAIGHT HAIR There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure and get a comedy of proven merit. Sobya's Quinade is a highly medicated poudre 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 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 Quinasop. Quinasop is made entirely out of pure vegetable oil, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasop 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 Quinasop, asking for them by the full name. Price is 26 cents each. If your drugstor 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.

In his meeting at McCoy Hall Thursday and Friday of this week, the question of colored high schools for the State of Maryland was deferred until September 4th. According to the director of colored schools in the State Mr. Huntington, it is probable that these new high schools will be located in Annapolis, St. Louis and Silsbury. The legislature appropriated at its last session $300 for each school, the county to pay the remaining expense. Principals of the new schools are to receive the same salaries as the whites, $1,000 a year, and assistants $600. It is said that these schools are to open in the fall and buildings for them are already provided. Provided at least thirty-five pupils apply in each place, the state for the first time in its history will open high schools for colored children outside the city of Baltimore. As soon as the matter is settled and the new principals are appointed and assigned it will be up to them to cooperate with the communities in getting the numbers required for registration.

Coleman, editor of the Colored Directory of Baltimore, Washington and Annapolis, has been interested for the past five years in the colored blind of the city, he himself being nearly deprived of his vision. Thru the courtesy of Secretary S. S. Booker of the Y. M. C. A., who paid half the expense, and the Maryland Association for Colored Blind, a trip down the bay was made possible for the blind of the State. Sixty persons, both young and old, availed themselves of the opportunity. A special feature of the excursion was Albert Jobs, who is deaf, dumb and blind. Mr. Coleman lost no patience and spared no pain in introducing Albert, thus talking in the sign language to the excursionists. Albert performed many things to the surprise of the public. He wrote $245.00 on a table and put dollar sign and decimal point in the proper place. He is one of the most expert chair capters in Maryland. After refreshments were served by Mr. Jacob Francis Holand, a prominent school teacher and organist of St. Francis Church, all were led aboard the boat to return to the city. Mr. G. R. Elton, secretary of the Maryland Workship for the Blind, was very kind in getting together the ladies and gentlemen in his department. Mr. Coleman desires that the Y. W. C. A. take part in the next outing. He is also anxious to inform the public that they might more closely associate themselves with the blind so as to strengthen them mentally, morally and physically; It is through the efforts of Mr. Coleman that all of the blind have medical attention and prescriptions filled free. The doctors who offered their services willingly without charge are Drs. Wheatley, Chissell and Hawkins. The blind may call them up without preliminaries. All of the colored druggists have also given their support* Mr. Coleman has further secured free membership for the men to the Y. M. C. A. and for the ladies to the Y. W. C. A. He is now working on a plan of industrial employment for the blind in the commercial world. The Maryland Association of the Blind at a special meeting appropriated $20 to the Maryland Workshop for the Blind for blind soldiers. The officers of the association are: Wm. H. Langley, president, Marry O. Wilson, vice pres., Mason A. Hawkward, and James A. Colepum, organizer and manager. AN APPRECIATION The officers and members of Waters A. M. E. Sunday School wish to thank their friends and the public in general for their patronage and support on the Sunday School outing, August 5th. The affair was a splendid success. The number of persons who landed at the grove were 2203. More than 500 were turned away at the wharf unable to gain admission. The total receipts from the outing, were $934.43. This breaks all previous records in the history of the school. J. F. WATERIS, Supt. E. S. HILL, Secretary. FREE DANCING LESSONS AT SOLDIERS' CENTER Morgan College and the Eva Jenifer Neighborhood Club came to the aid of the W. C. S. S. Hotel during the week with 37 cots. This is a good start toward the hundred needed to fit up the third floor of S. Mary's Hall. Dr. Weaver, in charge of the hotel is still hoping to receive an even larger number of cots by Saturday. Last week the hotel was over crowd ed as usual, one hundred men sleeping on chairs, the floor and the billiard tables. Twenty-one were sent to the Y. M. C. A. and more than fifty were sent away to look up private lodging in the city. Six white soldiers came in at midnight, but had to be turned away for lack of room. Last Saturday a dancing class taught by Prof. Wise and two lady assistants was opened from 7 to 8 p.m. free to all soldiers and sailors in uniform at the club. Some twenty soldiers and sailors took advantage of the opportunity to learn how to trip the light fantastic toe. This class will be opened every Saturday evening at the hours mentioned except the 3rd Saturday of each month. From 8 to 9 Prof. L. E. Toomey's Troubadours entertained the men. This was followed by the usual Saturday evening dance which was enjoyed by a large number of the men in uniform, who were met by Mrs. C. L. Davis, chief hostess, a large number of her assistants and a large grup up of young ladies. Sunday evening a musical program was rendered for the entertainment of the men by the chair of Bhel A. M. E. Church under the direction of Mrs. Dockins. Wednesday evening of this week a dance was given at the club 5 the non-commissioned officers of the 50th Company, 154th Depot Brigade. On Saturday from 5 to 7 a class in French, free to all men in uniform who desire to learn the language will be opened and taught by Bishop John Hurst. This class will be held every Saturday evening.

Special offer to agents. Address D. Newton E. Campbell, B. S., M. D., 1309 N. Curry St., Baltimore, Md. For others who do not know the truth and are surrendering 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 to both of us, and they worked on me for some time and wanted me to go to Bayview, but as I got worse all the time, I said it was host to die at my own home as anywhere else. I went down until I weighed only 96 lbs. Someone told me to try Dr. Campbell, the Lung Specialist, 1369 N. Carey street, Baltimore, MD, as he was the first person in a company with my sister, weighing less than 96 lbs. He examined me and told me the truth. He put me on the Lung Base Treatment, and I started to change for the better immediately. 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 was the others, both cured of the others, and those who are suffering with the same trouble should know where they can best be helped.
