GOVERNOR HARRING AID TO EDU Declares Security and as Justice to the N ter Schools, Te State Fair Salisbury, Md., September 16—Gov- ernor Emerson C. Harrington, of Maryland, in a ringing speech replied to a letter of Commissioner of Edu- cation Claxton on the question of the education of Negroes, and later sent the Commissioner a copy of his ad- dress. The occasion of the Governor's public address was the opening of the State Wide Farmers' Exhibition under the auspices of the Colored Division of the Maryland Council of Defense, of which Dr. Ernest Lyon, a former U. S. minister to Liberia, is chairman; J. R. L. Diggs, H. M. St Clair, John H. Murphy and L. H. Davenport, vice presidents; Dr. A. L. Gaines, treasurer; H. M. Gross, secretary; A. H. Pitts chairman of finance committee and E. B. Taylor, chairman entertainment committee. James F. Stewart, president of the Maryland Emancipation Fair Association, with Mrs. M. A. Stewart secretary, cooperated with the Defense Council in staging and directing the fair exhibits. Several hundred persons met the train of Governor Harrington when it arrived at Salisbury from Baltimore, and accompanied by a band of music marched to the old Wicomico Fair Grounds where the opening exercises were held. The object of the fair is to stimulate a deeper interest in the farmers of the state in raising foodstuffs and to emphasize the importance of their work. Thirty thousand persons will be entertained in the seven day sessions. Leading men of the state, white and colored, delivered addresses, who included delegates named by the governors of Delaware, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia. HARRINGTON PRAISED. Opinion of many persons who heard Governor Harrington's address is unanimous that the Governor's speech is the most noble delivered in the history of Maryland. No Democratic governor has ever taken such an advanced position on the question of education and general welfare of the colored people. His attitude compared most favorably with that of Governor Edge of New Jersey in his Colored Soldiers are Anx- Get Into By Junius B. Wood With The American Army in France September 9.—The colored soldiers of the American Army are not only anxious for real fighting, but many of them have high ideals of their duty. "We are here," said Sergt. Greenleaf Johnson, from the Colored Y. M. C. A. in Washington, D. C., "not because we think the Negroes of the United States ought to be represented, but because we are American citizens and it is our duty to help our country in the war. We believe in taking a part, even if it is small, in the great contest to make the world better morally, socially and economically. We realize that anything which helps our country helps the world and makes life better for all humanity." HELPED REPEL: GERMANS Serret. Johnson also described the bravery of Capt. Sylvester Epps, a Spanish war veteran, and for many years chief messenger for successive War Secretaries in Washington. He was in charge of the men who repelled MURRAY IS ASSISTANT Washington, September 16.—Dr. Murray received his papers today appointing him assistant chief surgeon at Freedman's Hospital and will take charge immediately. Dr. Murray takes the place of Dr. Simone Carson, resigned. He is said to be the youngest physician to hold the position, being only a late graduate and interne at the Howard Medical School where he specialized in surgery. He received his collegiate training at New Orleans University. Last year Dr. Murray married Miss Charlotte Wallace, a singer of more than local note. IN PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia, Pa., September 16.—Cracker sailors ordered J. Alex. Jackson, 418 S. 22nd street to take his "girl" and get off the street car. Quick interference on the part of the conductor saved trouble. A colored man was benten before the southern gentlemen met Mr. Jackson. Conditions here are given unsettled following address at the opening of the Business League recently. The Governor admitted that Maryland is South in sentiment but pledged his administration to continue the work of building up the secondary and collegiate schools as well as the elementary and grammar schools. He said: "Our own security and safety as well as justice to the Negro demand better schools, better teachers, longer terms and better pay." D: LYON COMMENDED DR. LYON COMMENDED Governor Harrington commended especially the work of Dr. Lynn in organizing the only colored state branch of the Council of Defense in the country. He said the branch had done important service in reaching the people of the state, and that the adjantant, General Waters had also commended to him the "excellent showing" of the colord branch. In part, the Governor's address follows: MOST IMPORTANT SINCE CIVIL WAR "I want first to thank you most heartily and sincerely for the kind reception which you tendered me here today. I am confident this is the most important gathering of representatives of the Negro race in Maryland, if not in the whole south, since the days of the Civil War, and today you gather here to exhibit to the State the advancement which your race has made in our State since the days of your liberation under the most happy nuples. I think you will agree with me, ideal auspices, when the country through which trial, tribulation and blood, gave you your freedom and made you citizens in the land where you before had been slaves, is now engaged with all its power and wealth and manhood, not only to preserve its own liberty and form of government, but to save the civilization of the world, to strike down autocracy in every form, make the world safe for democracy and to establish worldwide the brotherhood of mankind, and that in helping our Government to fight its battles across the seas and to furnish food to contain the population in this country, your race has been given by the National Government an opportunity to do your a raid the Germans made on the lines in the Vaqueros forest. Capt. Arthur Davis, a clerk in the Washington post office, also took part in the same fight, in which the enemy lost 100 in killed or wounded and fifty prisoners. Private Frank F. Moore, of Pittsburgh and Williams Curtiss Washington of Meriden. Conn., were barred by the same grenade which was stumped into the ground by another colored soldier and won for him the distinguished service cross. Corporal Robert S. Ellington, Chicago, has returned to his unit after receiving a stray bullet in his leg while directing rifle practice on a field within range of enemy salpers. SHOWS DENT IN HELMET Private Andrew Mills of Richmond, Va., is convinced that centred men are just as visible at night as their white fellow soldier. He shows a dent in his steel helmet made by the bullet of a German sniper when he peeped over the parapet of the French on a bright moonlight night. Chicago, Ill. Sept. 15.—Sixteen Chicago girls including the wife of an army officer now in France have been caught, by the Federal Vice Squad in the effort to clean out the vicinity of Camp Grant, Rockford, Ill. Several others of the women taken are receiving monthly stipends from husbands in the army and squandering it in having a "big time." The usual line for this offence is from $200 and 40 days in fall up. TOO HOT, TOO TIRED, TEN YEARS Camp Meade, Sept. 17.—A sentence of ten years at hard labor, was imposed upon Private Arthur Stewart of ------------ for refusing to cut wood for a kitchen stove. This occurred on August 6th, which was a record breaking hot day. COL. DENNISON HOME, ILL. New York, Sept. 16.—Col. Franklin Dennison, the only covered colonel in France with his troops, the old 3d Illinois, has been sent home on sick leave. He arrived in port three days ago. Colonel Dennison has long been collected with rheumatism, and this is The new Army and Navy Building, Washington, D. C., covering 15 acres-5 city squares; required 89 miles of electric wire; 175 miles steel sash bars and 50 carloads of radiators. 1700 men, most of them colored, at 40 cents an hour are employed. Every noon hour there are talks by foremen or high government officials, baseball games, boxing exhibitions, dancing contests or entertainment of a nature to show the men how important their work is. The officer in charge says: "Our men work and stick." We add, colored men are building this largest structure in the world. They show how colored people can help to win the war. War Department Names 10 Schools to Give Military Training to Students THE MILITARY OFFICIALS IN THE CITY OF NEW YORK ARE IN A FURTHER WAR. THE OFFICIALS ARE IN A FURTHER WAR. THE OFFICIALS ARE IN A FURTHER WAR. Howard University Altha University Morehouse College Fisk University Willberforce University Lincoln University Hampton Institute Tuskegee Institute Staff Correspondence Washington, D. C., September 14.—The War Department has announced the names of ten universities and vocational schools, which will receive government aid and in return give all students military training. Six of the schools are universities in various sections of the country. Two other smaller colleges were named conditionally, they may have students military corps and aid from the government provided they have enrolled 100 or more students of college grade. In addition the naming of Hampton and Tuskegee as vocational schools brings the total to ten schools. MANY SCHOOLS DISAPPOINTED Many small schools like Princess Anne, Md., Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., Manassas Industrial Institute, Va., and more than thirty other schools and colleges which had representatives at the Students Training School at Howard University will be disappointed in not being designated by the War Department. Their numbers are too small to justify the expense on the parl of the Government. Their representative corps will establish volunteer corps, but they will not be organized and official camps. CAMP AT HOWARD CLOSES The Training Camp at Howard University, which since August 1st has been training teachers to aid the regular army officers in giving military training in colleges this year, closed with a dress parade and speeches by officials of the War Department at 5.30 P. M. today. Lieutenant Russell Smith commander of the camp presided and congratulated the men on the amount of work they had been able to crowd successfully into the 47 day period. ASST. SCET SCOTT SLEAKS Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Assistant to the Secretary of War, was the chief speaker. He said that it was the idea of the War. Department to use the colleges as the chief source of officer material in the future and that these teachers had their jobs cut out for them. colored at Fort Des Moines, Mr. Scott announced that 324 more officers had received commissions in various camps in the country making a total of 1000 colored officers now in the army. Even this representation ought to be larger said Mr. Scott, but it was a cries for congratulation that the United States had more colored officers leading colored troops than any other country in the world. The graduates were referred to as the first group of colored men in the history of the country trained in a camp altogether by colored officers. CAMU NAMED FOR COLORED OFFICER Mr. Scott also read a letter from Lt. General Hutchinson, commander of this Department, naming all of the military district in the region of North New Port News, Virginia as Camp Alexander. The order of the Commanding General referred to Lt. John L. Alexander, graduate of West Point, an officer of the 4th Airbright in which he served until his death, "whose ability and attainments made him a credit to himself, his race and to the service." OBJECT OF CAMPS Dr. R. B. Perry of the War Department Commission on Training Camp activities said that the object of the Department in establishing camps in colleges was not to give government aid to schools in need of it. The aim, he said, was also not to give deferred classification to boys in school or to help the colored race. The only aim was to help win the war. Men would have to make good in college or be sent to the front as private. Shackers and funkers will be sent to France at once, men who prove their worth will be sent to officers training schools. BRONZE TABLET GIVEN UNI- VERSITY In the name of the 450 students in the camp Dr. Alain L. Locke at the very close of the exercises presented a draft of the bronze tablet to be presented to the University as a monument to the first Negro Students Training Camp. President Durkee, the new head of Howard University responded. Wm. H. Lewis, former assistant attorney general, made an address to the graduates, to whom certificates will be awarded later. LANGFORD WILL TUTOR NEGRO SOLDIERS St. Louis, Sept. 14—Sam Langford, vetoran Negro heavyweight, at the end of his present schedule of bouts probably will become a boxing instructor for Negro soldiers. Langford has received offers. Dr. J. L. Hayensoft, chairman of the Commission on Training Camp Activities. Langford is beyond the present draft age, is married and owns a farm. He is eager to give the soldiers the benefit of his long experience in the ring. TYLER TO WRITE WAR NEWS "OVER THERE" Washington, D. C., Sept. 16.—In compliance with the request of the Editors' Conference held in June the Committee on Public Information has designated Ralph W. Tyley, of Columbus, Ohio, former Auditor for the Navy Department at Washington, as a regularly-commissioned war correspondent, to specialize on the conditions surrounding the colored troops in France and to make daily reports of the activities and engagements in which the colored soldiers are prominent. He will be on the staff of General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American Expeditionary Forces overseas. Every facility has been provided by Mr. George-Creel, director of The Committee on Public Information, for the prompt and accurate gathering of all facts that may be of interest to the colored people. First Negro to be Named as a War Correspondent Mr. Tyler is the first colored man to be named as a regular war correspondent by any Government* in the world. He is a native of Ohio. For seventeen years he served in various departments on the Columbus Evening Dispatch and the Ohio State Journal, which gave him experience in the technique of the newspaper craft and afforded him opportunity for association with many influential newspaper men. This intimate contact with such forces will be invaluable to him in his labors as a war correspondent. The fact that he has a wide acquaintance with correspondents now at the front, will make it possible for him to get news concerning colored troops which, perhaps, no other colored correspondent could secure. The claims of a number of men were fully considered in connection with this important assignment, but Mr. Tyler was finally selected as the most efficient of those available. Immediately after war was declared by the United States on Germany, Mr. Tyler wrote the President, tendering his services in any capacity. He has three sons, all of whom are at the front in France. DR. GIBBS GOES AS A PRIVATE Washington, September 18. —Word has reached this city that Dr. Jonathan Gibbs, recent graduate and interate at the Howard Medical School, who had just passed the Medical Board Examination of the District of Columbia standing third among a number of white applicants was drafted and sent to Camp Meade recently. He only stayed at the camp several hours, when he was ordered to the Port of Embarkation in order to catch the $98th Regiment leaving for France. Dr. Gibbs missed the boat and is now at the Port awaiting further orders. 29,016 NEGROES CALLED Washington, Sept. 16.—A draft call for 29,016 Registered members, from thirteen-three States, qualified for general military service, to entrain for National Army camps September 25-27 was issued today by Provost Marshal-General Crowder. The numbers included: Pennsylvania, 200 to Camp Upton, L. I. New jersey, 500 to Camp Dix; Delaware, 144 to Camp Dix; Maryland, 1,200 to Camp Meade. SOUTHERN BOYS BLOW OUT GAS Washington, Sept. 17—Arthur Lewis and Hempel Snaders sixteen and seventeen years respectively, employed as red caps at Union Station were found dead in their bed at 1256 Carrollburg, Place Southwest today. The youngsters came from Chester, South Carolina three months ago. A gas jet was found open, in the room, and doors and windows closed. The coroner gave a guardian a decennial death, and the ODD FELLOWS HAD FIRST FIGHT HERE Factional Meetings in New York Last Week Caused By Falling Out Among the Leaders. DAVIS WAS ONCE BOSS His Ambition to be Grand Master Squelched by Former Allies---Then the Split The long looked-for has happened at last and the meeting of the rival B. M. C's in New York last week brings to light what is probably a permanent split in one of the largest fraternal organizations of the country. HISTORY OF THE ORDER Peter Ogden was the founder of the Order of Odd Fellows in this country. He had joined the Order in England, and secured a charter for the first Negro Lodge, Philomethane, number 646, of New York, which was set up March 1, 1843. Colored Odd Fellows are under the jurisdiction of England and are regularly represented at the general meetings of the Order there. According to the Negro Year Book, there were 7,562 financial lodges in 1917, 304,557 members, 4,993 Households of Ruth, with a membership of 197,654. The Odd Fellows are the largest Fraternal group of colored people. Masons number about 150,000. Pythians (main group) 250,000. Elks 18,700; Mosaic Templars 100,000; St. Lukes 40,000 members. OTHER FRATERNAL SPLITS Not only the Old Fellows, but several other fraternal societies have had factions and splits in the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Some of these splits have come at a time when the body was strongest and in a position to do the most good. "There are two groups of the Pythians, and several divisions of the St. Lakes and Good Samurians. THE 1910 BEGINNING The foundation of the present break was laid in Baltimore in September 1910. The very faction which has now broken off from the parent body, was the primary cause of the present break. Georgia, with upwards of seven hundred delegates, led by Benjamin J. Davis and Henry Lincoln Johnson were prime factors in the administration program. W. L. Houston, was then Grand Master, and W. H. Morris, present Grand Master, was the administrator candidate for Grand Master. J. C. Asbury, of Philadelphia, then editor of the Old Fellows Journal Rev. E. P. Jones, formerly delegate to the Grand Lodge of England, the mother lodge of the world; W. H. C. Brown, of Virginia, E. H. McKlasse, of Mississippi and James H. Hayes, of Richmond, were the leaders of the insurgent forces, Horace D. Slatter, now deceased, R. Fred. Moore, of the New York Age; John C. Daney, and Dr. W. H. Credit, were among the prominent members of the Order who were excluded from the meeting. Georgia delegates were passed without question. The Sam roller, managed by Grand Master Houston, assisted by Ben. J. Davis, grand treasurer, and Henry Lincoln Johnson, promptly crushed the insurgents, as they were termed at that time. DAVIS LEADS SPLIT Later, when Davis aspired to be Grand Master, Morris, then in power, squeaked his ambition. From that time to the present, Davis has continued the fight. Finding that he could not control the whole order, he set to work to control all Georgia, and by suits at law and other means finally brought about the present condition of affairs, a split in the organization. Ashbury, ousted from his job as editor of the Old Fellows Journal, organized a split, but it was not successful, and he finally drifted back into the parent organization, and is now one of its strongest supporters. LOCAL POLICE CALLED IN By order of Grand Master Houston, a police force was at the door of the convention to prevent the insurgents or any of their followers from coming in, and incidently to admit all who claimed allegiance to the administration. For this he came in for a considerable amount of unfavorable criticism, because it was a most unusual thing for conventions of a fraternal character meeting in this city to have anything of that kind. A fast fight and general confusion characterized some of the sessions. Following the meeting and actions of the administration, the Afro-American, had this to say editorially, under the caption: "The B. M. C. and the Danger Signal." "...While we cheerfully note the many pleasant features in connection with this, the largest, and in a sense, the greatest meeting of colored people ever held in this city, we feel it distinctly our duty to point out the danger signal with respect to this, the largest.

A FRIDAY, SEPT. 20, 1918. TET #.{ Washington Courts handled eighty-one cases of boot-leg- ‘bing in one day last week, There are more arrests for in- Ge\ictions of the dry lays in the capital than for any other We‘ense, Still a thirsty Congress will not make the District Serene dry. SOMEBODY PAGE MR. McADOO W. G. McAdoo, treasurer of the United states gover’= ment, and the holder of several other important federal of- fices, made public his report to the President on the work of the United States Railroad Administration for the first seven months of its existence ending July 31st, 1918, this past at Under the head “No Discrimination Against Negro Em- ployces,” Mr. McAdoo says: . it hag also been ordered that all Negroes em- ployed by the railroads should be paid the same : wages that white men get for similar work. | ‘This has not been the general practice in the past, but it seems clear that equal pay for equal service without #9 respect to sex or color is demanded as an act of sim- » ple justice.” . Since Mr. McAdoo grees that equal pay for equal sex- vice without respect to sex or color is simple justice for em- ployees, HOW ABOUT EQUAL ACCOMMODATIONS FOR EQUAL FARES BECOMING AN ACT OF SIMPLE JUSTICE’ TO PASSENGERS. Can it possibly be that the Secretary cares more for em- ployees than passengers? Is it true that he is a lover of simple justice? Has it not been brought to his attention that * Jimerow cars do not provide equal accommodaizon to colored passengers, that in some sections colored folk cannot ride in Pullman and sleeping cars, or eat in dining cars? Uf there were the slightest chance that Mr. McAdoo did not know of these things, a special invitation ought to be issued him to note the abominable Jimerow conditions on the W. B. and A. electric‘line, between this city and Washington, or on the boats crossing the Chesapeake Bay between this city and. Salisbury. On the other hand it is well known that colored people, through various agencies, have brought these condi- tions or conditions similar to his attention. \Mz, McAdoo has performed an act of economic justice in granting all railway employees equal pay for equal service. He has not performed the corollary act of justice of seeing to it that passengers get equal service for equal pay. He can do the latter as easily as he did the former, and if he BE- LIEVES IN SIMPLE JUSTICE, AS HE SAYS, HE WILL DO IT. WHY NOT DRAFT THEM. yo-Ameriean can sce no just reason wh wld not draft all workers who refuse k and go on strikes at this particular expected to do his very best to keep ¢ while our boys are going over the The Afro-American can sce no just reason why the Wov-) ernment should not draft all workers who refuse to keep on al their work and go on strikes at this particular time when everybody is expected to do his very best to keep things going on this side while our boys are going over the top on the other side. | IF THE GOVERNMENT HAS THE RIGHT TO TAKE “s,OUR BOYS AND MEN, AND REQUIRE THE MTO FIGHT, (WHETHER THEY WANT TO DO SO OR NOT, IT SEEMS ONLY RIGHT, JUST AND EQUITABLE, THAT STRIKERS, WHO ARE GETTING A LARGER WAGE THAN EVER BE- ¥ORE, SHOULD ALSO BE DRAFTED AND MADE TO DO ‘THE NECESSARY WORK TO BACK UP OUR BOYS, WHO ARE FIGHTING, AND IN MANY INSTANCES, MAKING THE SUPREME SACRIFICE. Y ‘'fhose who remain at home and are getting all the bene- fits, ought to make some sacrifice, small as it may be, by keep- ing at work regularly without going on a strike. J€ men will persist in delaying the work of the Govern- roent, then let those in authority draft them, put them on sol- diers’ pay, and make them work. This is no time for slack- ers, Whether they be draft slackers or work slackers. Should Uncle Sam decide to take these men and put them on soldiers’ pay, there would be very few: strikes. This is no time for labor to hold up the work necessary to be donc to keep the boys in the field and bring victory to our arms. PUT EVERY MAN OF. THEM INTO THE ARMY AND MAKE THEM WORK, AND WHEN THIS IS DONE, THIS SPECIES OF PROFITEERING WILL BE STOPPED, AS IT OUGHT TO BE. . Let it be understood WE HOLD NO BRIEF FOR UN- SCRUPULOUS CAPITALISTS either, e. g., the Smith and Wes- son Arms Company, of Connecticut, who, like strikers, failed “to abide by the decisions of the War Industries Board. The Government did right in taking over their plant and operating it henceforth.

No Democrats and few Republicans as governors, have taken such an advanced stand on the question of elementary and higher education for the colored ‘people of the State. ‘The Governor said: 2 2 “OUR SECURITY AND SAFETY AS WELL AS JUSTICE TO THE NEGRO DEMAND BETTER SCHOOLS, BETTER TEACHERS, LONGER TERMS | AND BETTER PAY. * * * HIS ‘SALVATION AND ‘OUR SALVATION REQUIRE THAT HE BE EDU- CATED NOT ONLY IN THE PRIMARY GRADES, | Burr IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES.” Here are some of the reasons why this pronouncement and pledge of Governor Harrington is importanc: According to the report of the Commissioner of Education, Maryland ex- pends $13.79 for the education of cach white child, and $6.88 for each colored child per year. Compared with other schools this makes the colored children but half educated. Six times as many colored people as white in Maryland are illiterate. | Nearly sixty per cent of colored people live in rural dis- iriets, yet there are few facilities provided by the State for agricultural training and industrial work. The State is supporting no school of collegiate grade. For the first time three new high schools are to be es- tablished in Annapolis, Crisfield and Salisbury. Others may ‘be established wherever 25 students apply. ..There has never been higher than a grammar school in Maryland outside of Baltimore City. ~~ ‘There is nothing before the State of Maryland beside Winning the war that is more important than this question of the regeneration of the people by adequate educational facili- ties, Governor Harrington has the clear vision to sce this and the courage to speak it out. He was right when he said that upon education depends the salvation of the colored peo- ple and in addition the salvation of the white people. “Y” Campaign A Hummin’ Workers’ Report $2550.30 In Ten Days ‘he big XM.

Several New Teachers At High School Eight thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight pupils have enrolled so far in the public schools of the city. Up until the first of October, the enrol- ment will continue bringing the number up to nine thousand. As expected the attendance in the High School and the upper grades of the grammar schools has fallen o considerably. The high wages that are now paid to boys and girls from 15 to 18 years has made school life seem less attractive. Eight years ago the census report showed 11,255 children in the city between the ages of six and sixteen. The enrollment this year is below this number and school officials will have to find a way to reserve the compulsory school law so that the 2,000 truants into the school house.

Teachers and Others. Having a foresight of what is to be expected of teachers in the future, this school has adjusted itself to the needs of teachers - who desire to thoroughly qualify themselves in the technical principles of Drawing and Industrial Art. A course that is applicable to teaching many of the other subjects such as History, Literature, Language and Science. Have you thought how Art has become a critical necessity to commerce and all industrial pursuits of multicultural nations—Mechanics and machinists must have designs; catalogs, papers and charts must be illustrated and in many other ways has drawing interwoven itself into the advancement of the age. To be able to draw and illustrate does not only supplement ones education, but it distinguishes the teacher possessing this qualification as being more cultured. Thus we are appealing to the progressive teacher to get out of the old rut before being pushed out. The greater part of this work is done by correspondence, but each person taking the course is expected to come to the school for the summer resident work, which covers a period of one month, beginning in July and closing in August. Remember that Southern Pines is a health resort, scenic and blessed with good railroad facilities. Thus you will be benefited in more than one way by coming to Southern Pines.

Their places are being filled by women and children. This is coming to the experience in our country. Women are rushing faster and faster into industry. Steinographers, launches and telegraphers, sewing women, accountants, telephone girls, secretaries, and all other kinds of women must help with the average camp's military work. The mushroom cities bringing up beside the cantonments to bring in sales girls, cashiers, the bakers, waitresses and theater the factories employ women to uniforms, aeroplanes, auto-vehicles, goods and ammuni- Every day women enter some industry. One million, five hundred thousand women are now engaged in making American war products. Mothers who have spent half their lives in their own kitchens are suddenly forced to earn wages for the family in a huge clattering war plants where currying women wear overalls and are known only by number. The English and French women have gharascribed the delicate charm and skill of their daughters to war industries. The responsibility of soiling that unacustomed and defenseless persons from our homes live and labor that surrounds lies upon you and me and the next woman. Everything that is done by the Y. Y. Y. for white women is done also for colored women. All their activities are under the leadership of colored college women and social work- The attitude which the women of a community take toward women employed in factories, mills and stores is very important. The terms "factory girl," "mill hand," "powder girl" used mean a class of women outside the social group. These women, no less noble than the men under arms, now be included in community women who are not paid for their jobs are coming to be proud of the man the city who work to win the dear.

"In the early part of the war some of the European countries yielded to the need for labor and permitted their children, to leave school to enter war industries. So sure are they that this was blind and foolish economy that their Commissions visiting the United States have carnyly begged us not to make the same mistake. Salaries are very attractive to boys and girls of grammar and high school age. The thought of having "money of my own" is alluring to all of us. Moreover, many families are feeling the pressure of high prices and are tempted to add another salary to the family income. They say, "It's too bad, but John will have to stop school and go to work. It's because of the war." "However, instead of being a reason for our boys and girls leaving school, the war is really a reason for their continuing their education. At no time in the history of the country has the earning power of an education been so apparent. Given two boys, of fifteen years and equal ability, one leaves school and goes to work, while the other goes on through High School. When both are twenty, the first boy will be earning more money; he got started first. But when both are thirty, the second will have outstripped the first because of his longer school training. The same comparison holds good for the High School boy and the college graduate. There is no question about the "commercial value" of an education in America today. Parents who say, "Our children are going to have the schooling we couldn't have, even if we have to sacrifice to give it to them," are building wisely for themselves, their children, and their country." From McCall's Magazine for September, 1918. Philadelphia Has Women 'White Wings Philadelphia, September 16—Eight colored women of Amazonian proportions aroused great curiosity in West Philadelphia yesterday, when they appeared as street cleaners. Twenty-five women are expected by Cunningham & Murray, contractors, but the women are not all expected. Some were trousseur uniforms and others were in short skirts. They were put to work in the district bounded by Fifty-eighth, Sixty-third, Market street and Lansdowne avenue. The women get $15 a week, for an eight-hour day. They work from 8 oclock and the morning until 4.30 in the afternoon, being allowed half an hour for lunch. Some have been recruited from the Pennsylvania Railroad, and from the Pullman Company, and one drove a wagon in Pittsburgh. Insult President Wilson Washington, Sept. 17.—Suffragists of the Women's Party insulted the president by burning in public his statement that he was for women's suffrage in front of the Lafayette Monument. The women were incensed over the report of the Senate that suffrage was not on the program for this session of Congress. DIVORCE GRANTED September 11, 1913 an absolute Divorce was granted Mrs. Adelaide V. Johnson from her husband, William L. Johnson, in the Circuit Court No. 2 on the ground of abandonment. The parties were married in 1893. Her husband deserted her June 30th, 1911. Attorney C. C. Fitzgerald represented Mrs. Johnson.

BISHOF'S BEAUTY CULTURE SCHOOL, 1425 Pennsylvania Ave. Boston, Md. Churches Asked to Observe September 22nd. Throught the state pastors of churches and superintendents of Sunday schools are being asked by the Council in Charge of the Y. W. C. A. to observe Sunday, September 22 as Blue Triangle Sunday. Following the example of the Y. M. C. A. in adopting the red triangle as a symbol, the women have adopted the blue triangle as the sign of the Y. W. C. A. In the letters sent out pastors, and teachers are being asked to spread information about the work being done by the Young Womens' Association at home and in France and Russia, so that this phase of war work will become better known. The statement of the "Y. W." says: Owing to war conditions the work with colored women is being greatly extended and two hundred thousand dollars of the five-million-dollar budget of the National War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian Association is devoted exclusively to this work. This money is being used to provide the staffs for Hostess Houses, which accommodate the families of colored troops; for emergency housing for colored girls in war industrial centers where there is no local X. W. investigation, and leaders of the best type among colored women. To encourage women to show what they can do in war work in filling the hundreds of industrial positions now at their disposal. There are Colored Hostess Houses at Camp Upton, and at Camp Dix. Others are being erected at Camp Jackson, Dodge, Sherman, Gordon, Funston, Grant and Meade. The Camp Upton Hostess House is the training center for workers who will be sent to the other camps as soon as houses are built there. The other camps are at Camp Upton, but now the new house is being used and a most enjoyable and successful opening was held on April twentieth. Great stress is being laid on social morality talks, and thus these talks thousands of girls are being reached in every section of the country. The War Work Council aims to do everything for the colored girls that is being done for the white girls. Equality of opportunity and mutual understanding are the two essentials in the colored girl's development and in her freedom to make the best contribution to our community. The equality opportunity has come now with the war, with the scourge of men and with the decrease in immigration; and the mutual understanding is now rapidly increasing. State officers elected: Miss M. E. Cooper, chairman; Mrs. S. C. Fernandis, vice; Miss Emma Bright, secretary; Miss Annie E. Moulson, speakers; Miss Frances Murphy, publicity; Miss Elvira Moulson, Miss Bessie Maynard and Mrs. Helen Cooper Dean, meetings. HEALTH RESTORED Mrs. Mary J. E. Anderson, of 115 Winter street, South Baltimore, MD, age 55, has been an invalid for five years and after being treated by some of our best physicians for paralysis was left helpless as a baby. She was unable to sit down or raise herself up from a chair without the aid of some one. She would have to be helped up stairs and brought cown. But today she has been miraculously restored so far as not even to need a cane and she can go up and down stairs. She has been under the treatment of Edward Young, known to be a divine or a scriptural physician who is able to cure many without drugs. 1255 Union St. S. W., Washington D.C. MME.

BRISCOE, 2206 DRUID HILL AVE 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. Seeby the 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 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 Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoapathers 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.
