NO CLERICAL JOBS FOR NEGROES AT NATION'S CAPITAL Colored Applicants for Employment Persistently Discrimi- Washington. Oct. 26—Writing to one of the local papers in reply to the call for more workers in governmental departments, Thomas 17. Clarke protests against the discrimination against colored people practiced in almost every single department in Washington. Colored people are acceptable as messengers, elevator operators and as laborers, but are not wanted as clerks, especially where whites are employed in the same office. During the recent epidemic, many departments have been so shorthanded that they were forced to use their messengers as clerks. Colored workers are refacing that the "flu" has stopped the rush of white clerks into this city and frightened large numbers of them take the train back home. As many as 6,000 whites scared of catching the "flu" are said to have left positions and gone home. Mr. Clarke's statement in part is as follows: "Mrs. Sitka D. Thomas, 1934 15th street, northwest, graduate M street High School, this city, certified to the War Department in December last year for medical treatment and reject. She has finally sent to a subterfuge in the bureau of printing and engraving where she is still employed. "Miss Taylor (whose initials I cannot recall), graduate of the Howard University, further identified, as the daughter of the science teacher at the Manassas Industrial School, was certified one hundred and sixty-three (163) hours of coursework, rejected 162 times and finally no personal appeal from for father she was given a clerkship at $720 per annum, when $1,100 appointments are literally searching for eligible. "Mrs Roberts, 309 T street northwest, graduate of the Boston Latin School, now employed in a subterranean capacity at the bureau of engravings at the University of Virginia, times to different burens ad five times rejected. Mrs. Roberts taught school at the south for many years and was former postmaster at Jackson, N. C. WAR DEPARTMENT IN LINE "Mr. Thompson, now employed in a subterranean position, was certified to the ordinance bureau. War Department and was told that colored clerks were not wanted. Beverla Ferguson passed the examination with an approximate age of 80 per cent, certified to the War Department, refused appointment on the ground that she was already employed in the civil service and could not be appointed to a position at a higher salary, which was paid from a hump sum appropriation. "She was again certified to the War Test, and she presented her telephone, was told that some mistake had been made, as her card could not be found. List April she was again notified by the test that she had been appointed a clerk in the bureau of war risk at a salary of $1,000, and that her services were urgently needed." She reported as directed and "Mrs Ferguson, taught school for five years in the public schools of Portsmouth, N. H. "I can give many other cases, but the above are typical of the treatment highly qualified and efficient colored men and women are receiving from the federal government at the very end of the war. I have given over a quarter of a million colored soldiers for military service, and when colored men and women are subscribing to liberty loans. CAPT. EPPS IS A Secretary Baker Compliments Former Messenger on Battle Line. While Secretary Baker was inspecting the American forces on the battle grounds of France recently he visited the sector where the 93rd Division composed of colored troops, was stationed. Among the officers who called on him to pay respects to captain Sylvester H. Epps, senior captain of the 1st Separate Battalion of the Division, now forming part of the 372 United States Army. At the time the local battalion was ordered to patrol duty on the Mexican border, before the United States declared War on Germany. Epps was a messenger in Secretary Baker's office. When they met again in France Mr. Baker recognized him at once and congratulated him on his record and soldierly appearance. Secretary Baker, the President Secretary Baker said that Captain Epps had proved himself a good soldier and was in fine physical condition. AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN SERVICE FOR NEGRO TROOPS New York, October 25—Responding to the appeal of James W. Johnson, a member of the staff of the N. A. A. C. P., and contributing editor of the New York Age, to the effect that colored folk must "pay as well as pray" in order to be part of the commonwealth of America, a mass meeting of citizens subscribed $60,000 in the Fourth Liberty Loan at the Palace Casino Tuesday of last week. Mr. Johnson said that all pleas for race recognition must be backed up with dollars. Four thousand persons at the meeting Jay Schiefflein of the 15th New York National Guards, Dr. K. R. Moton, of Tuskegee; Captain Marcel Knecht, of the French High Commission and Mr. Fred R. Moore' of the New York Age. Preceding the meeting a parade led by some of Pershing's veterans marched then the principal streets and discussed musical numbers. Two bands and musical numbers by leading colored players proved attractions at the meeting. COLORED MEN STICK TO THEIR JOBS Two Employees in Mill in Ohio Make Remarkable Records for Service Without Loss of Time. Columbus, Ohio.—A "stand-by-the-job" record deserving of recognition has been made by Frank Harris, employed by the American Rolling Mill Company, of this place, who has worked every day this year except two days in June—a total of 239 days out of 242. He has been continuously employed by the company since October, 1904 and wears a 10-year gold service button. The four days he has taken off in 1918 have been more than made up to seven and a quarter days of overtime. Albert Jones worked 141 consecutive days—7 days a week—without losing any time, from March 30 to August 19. He took five days off, beginning August 20 to go hunting, but has been working every day since. He worked on the pig-casting machine and stick to their jobs in the hottest weather. AMERI WHEN THIS HAPPENS EN ROUTE When soldier boys go from Camp Meade to Camp Merrett, N. J. or Newport News, Va., they get hungry as only travellers with no lunch can get hungry. Then the train stops at some station, and the men ordered out by companies. They stretch their legs and march past counters where they get sandwiches and cocoa, chocolate, cigars and cigarettes free. This is the work of the colored and white women of the American Red Cross Canteen. Since the movement of troop trains is not made public their work is also of a secret nature, showing that the government trusts women to keep its secrets where some men would not. Just as the Red Cross Nurses make no social distinction in serving the sick canteen workers and with milk and do it with a smile. The best American families are giving their service grants in canteen work. Many of the South are organizing colored auxiliary canteen committees. The canteen in New Orleans is in charge of a very fine colored woman of education and a graduate nurse. The canteen has headquarters on the ground floor of the Pyhitan Temple, owned entirely by Negian capital. It owns five large rooms well equipped for rest and recreation, and to date has entertained every batch of Negian officers leaving for canteen work. It is maintained by New York Chapter funds. THE AFRO-AMERICAN, BALTIMORE, MD. FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1918 GIVES FOOT TO SAVE COMRADES GIVES FOOT TO SAVE COMRADES Corporal Valley Given Distinguished Service Cross by Pershing. WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT THE FRONT—If Emperor William in recent weeks has been on his historic observation post at Montfaucon, where he saw the fighting before Verdun in 1916, he would have seen American Negro soldiers holding a portion of the trenches in the Forests de Hesse. The units had been a part of six different French divisions since landing in France and has always been progressing toward the hotter spots in the line until now it is believed to be ready for the supreme test of a real light in equal to those in which the light skipped Americans have written pages of water. They have already shown that they are able to withstand big shells bursting on all sides—an ordeal which in the first year of the war shook the nerves of earliest Negro units put in the front lines. "I have as much confidence in the Negro soldier as in any other body of troops with the same amount of fighting experience," says the col net, a seasoned regular army officer who is the only who made it to the Corpsil Issue Valley, of Gerald, Kan, won the distinguished service cross as an inspiration to every man in the unit. Valley is one of the few colored soldiers who thus far has won the honor. He served three years in the Twenty-Second Infantry, and was transferred to this regiment. A private in attempting to throw a hand grenade dropped it in the trench in the midst of his comrades. Valley had no time to pick it up and throw it out, he therefore put his foot on it and shoved it into the mud. "The grenade exited the mud," he said. His only comment as he was carried back was "I saved the others even if it did get me." When General Pershing heard of the incident, he awarded the ribbon which is the ambition of every fighting man to possess. "That man will be back in a few days" said the colonel to me one day. ICAN RED SERVICE TO CAMP OR EMBARKATION POINT HE K AMERICAN RED CROSS CANTEEN WORKERS GIVE THE SAME SERVICE TO AS TO WHITE MEN. Canteens take pains to serve single soldiers-in transit or sometimes small groups of wounded enroute to hospitals no matter what the esize of the detachment. A telegram from the War Department to the chief of the canteen, brings out the workers with the necessary refreshments. WOMEN EARN BIG MONEY IN CHESTER. West Chester, Pa., Oct. 23—At the big junk yards near Modena twosec or more colored women are employed in work formerly performed by bushy men and they are performing their tasks well, receiving the same wages as did the men they have supplied. They are being paid from four to five dollars per day of eight hours and seem to like the work. Two of them are acting as drivers of switching locomotives with two other as shovels; while others are operating the large electric and hand cranes used in handling the heavy material and loading and unloading cars. Many of the Negro women are also utilized in sorting the metals in the huge yard and placing them in the proper locations for loading. Every portion of the work formerly done by men is in the hands of the women. WHITES KICK AT COLORED BOSS. Object to Colored Bricklayer and Foreman at Curtis Bay Plant. Boller now Working at Sparrows Point. Though the day is proclaimed by many to be one of equality of opportunity and democracy for all, evidences crop out of hostility to colored people being allowed to follow certain lines of labor. And this is in spite of the recently-reported announcement that the American Federation of Labor has called for the "door of hope to men simply because they happen to be colored." J. A. Boler, of Florence, S. C., recently appeared at Curtis Bay to take a job as a bricklayer. Whites there strongly objected because he is a Negro. He was then dismissed. When several white men in the gang kicked because they had a colored boss, Mr. Boler concluded to secure work elsewhere. He is now employed at the Sparrows Point Plant of the Bethlehem Steel Company, where fitness and not a man's race counts. He later taught at Tuskegee Institute a few years ago and was engaged subsequently in the contracting business in St. Louis. D CROSS FOR ME KNOWS THAT 'SOMEBODY CARES." NEGRO TROOPS. When colored soldiers show any timidity about accepting service from whites, workers know how to make them feel at home and trains seldom pull out without a hurrah for the canteen workers. COARSE JOKES DISGUST WORKERS Aberdeen Employees Resent Liberty Loan Speaker's "Funny" Talk. Aberdeen, Md., October 23—A large number of coloured workmen here became disgusted last Saturday afternoon when William T. Childe deputy city councilor of Baltimore, referred to the race as "coons" "miggers" and darkies. Childe had been introduced in a fattering address by Contractor Flanigan. The Baltimore official was making a ringing appeal for subscriptions to the Liberty Loan, and had quite a number of coloured men on the verge of signing up either for the first round or than when he began to tell some jokes, making the colored people the butt-end and using the objectionable terms mentioned in the foregoing. His jokes amused some of the whites, but the colored were incensed, many walking away. Some of the colored had already purchased a bond, and were about to buy of buying one. Others were about to make their first subscription to the fourth loan, but they did not because their feelings were hurt. LIEUT "DAN" HILL *WOUNDED IN FRANCE* L.

Dear Madam No doubt you have received from the War Department news of the death of your son, Henry W. Richardson, who died on July 10, 1918 from an attack of acute pneumonia. "I am writing you at this time in reference to your bereavement for the reason that I want to say a word of comfort to you in regard to your boy, and for the reason that his comrades have in mind a method by the which his untimely passing and your misdeed may be commemorated and made part of the history of your home town. DIED LIKE A SOLDIER. "The life of Henry Richardson, while he was in the military service of his country was one that might be emulated by any soldier of the war. His character as a whole man was never more clearly determined than when the certain approach of the end was revealed to him and he viewed the same unselfish concern as any other soldier of the great Mentally conscious to the very end, he displayed that true Spartan spirit of a man who goes to meet his Maker, unshunned of the life left behind and unfaithful of the great unknown to be encountered beyond this vale of tears. "As we know Henry Richardson in the 317th Labor Battalion, he was a soldier of whom his comrades were a man of whom his race may well be a man of whom he enjoyed the confidence and respect and men alike, and no event of this great war will be more keenly regretted than his untimely end. NO COFFINS AT SEA. "I wish to explain why he was buried at and his remains not sent home to you, and we were embarked on a chartered transatlantic with the necessary material to take the body to a support for burial, and the burial at sea was the only solution of the problem. It is by no means an ignominious burial and is the ideal of many brave hearts who have sailed the seas for centuries and carried liberty and freedom to the four corners of the earth. The service was attended by many brave hearts whose favorite songs were sung and at 3:30 p.m. July 10, 1918, all that was mortal in this good soldier and brave man was committed to the deep and his spirit went back to God, who gave it. COMINADES TO ERECT STONE "Now the soldiers of this battalion wish to erect a monument to their comrade in his home town and I am writing to you to ask where you would have it erect. If you have a family in the cemetery, I would suggest that at the good place. It will be a marble monument with inscriptions. If you have to family plot, I would suggest that you acquire one. I think the comrades will attend to the cost if you have not the means and wish them to do so.

WONGGUST Same Principle Applied to Negro as to the Other Workers. Washington. October 14.—Dr. Geo E. Haynes, special assistant to the United States Secretary of Labor in charge of colored workers, hands public today a letter of respect Wilson addressed to the Sociological Congress last summer, in which the Secretary took the stand for justice to the Negro worker. The letter reads in part: "Above all, every safeguard must be taken to protect the standard of living and the morals of the wage earners. Especially must great care be taken to keep the age of the wage earners in industry. High level laws we rob citizenship of its right to growth and time for education. We must also have knowledge of dangers."

"It is especially important at this critical period, when we need to conquer all the resources of the Nation for the conduct of the war, that these principles should be applied to all the people of our country, including Newer people, who conquer about one-sixth of the total labor force population; that the war will be equally important to the readjustment period which will follow the war.

Like the Engish Nag, “aie ig°to be found in. all countries and in all climes. there isn’t a continent in the whole round world where Negroes do not live in large’numbers, Most of them, 180, 000.000, make their home in Aftica, "which threby gets its name of “dark continent.” India is the home of 50,000,000 Tore, and the isles of the Pacific shelter more than two mil- lion. North and South America, between them, account for 26,000,000 more. Southern Spain and France in Europe are becoming more attractive to black folk. Already these coun- tries have an estimated population of 100,000. Not only is the Negro present in every: corner of the globe, but he has @ peculiar knack of getting into everything that ig going on. When the late President McKinley, was shot, one Parker was around to catch and hold the assasin. Pres- {dent Wilson slumbers peaceably every night with perfect faith in the Negro who guards the entrance to his private chamber. Ex-president Roosevelt spoke to the people of Bal- timore at the beginning of the recent Liberty Loan campaign flanked-by two colored men as bodyguard. ‘Other: races migrate from their fatherland, settle among strangers and rapidly, lose their identity. Not so with the Ne- gro. His color is fast black and does not run. You can easily Fecognize him after'dne-or two generations of residence in a foreign country, and He gives you the surprise of your life. in the heart of London of'in Under the Lindens in Berlin, the black’ man can be picked out from the multitude, He might be lord mayor of a suburban town in England or an Uinasgoiming millionaire in Paris, but he is there with both feet and easily recognized when seen. : _/ ‘All of this is by way of introduction to twé news dispatch: “s maaé public this week. One of them is to the effect that a Negro has risen?to.the rank of General in the French army and commands one of the sectors in the front line trenches. ‘The other tells of the ‘Negio“ininister of state and member of the Military Revolutionary Committee in Russia. The fact that the General of Franeg, won his spurs in colonial wars, and mounted the ladder of. fame gradually Speaks well for the kind of democracy France represents, In the same way the Negro, who was a few years ago an I. W. W. . agitator andsocialist in New York and now holds a cabinet position in the great Russian Republic is an evidence that Rus- Bia lives her democracy as well as she talks it. The New York business man, who met the Negro cabinet minister in Russia, through his aid got passports to travel thru the capital city, remarks that his benefactor would have made can excellent,South Carolina senator under the Carpet Bag Jpegime. 5 be seem mo a ee Maybe this white business man meant this remark more ‘as a joke than a compliment, but whichever way it is taken the Afro-American believes there are men in the country, col- ofed ‘men, who would make abler statesmen than a greal many of those who now spit tobacco juice on the floors of the United States Senate. : They never get the chance in America that they get ir other countries. Colonel Young ought to be an Americar General on-the firing line in France this-very, minute. As it is he is eating his heart out.on the inactive list. Were Judge ‘Terrell white, his home state would have sent him to the House of Representatives and the Senate long ago. With no chance at all he has risen to be municipal judge in the District of Columbia. ‘These are two typical cases Out of the many thousands. There are many persons who expect the dawn of a new era in this country after the war. These are the people who need to be reminded that the reforms in France and Russia ‘were effected from within and not by a foreign war. The present war will undoubtedly help towards a larger equality, but will not bring it about fully. : TO HIM WHO WAITS AND WORKS. | . Frequently one hears of how the prejudices of the white ‘man is operating against the best interests of the Negro. We ‘are prone to think that because of the war and the part we are taking in it'we ought to have all the things which our hearts have yearnéd for these many years. That we ought to ‘at once come into all the rights and’ privileges that we have been denied; that we ought to be recognized as full fledged citizens with all its concomitant results. - Of course, under the law, all these rights and privileges are ours—haye been ours for years, but for various reasons and purposes we have heen denied them by the:stronger element in the body politic and the custom winked at by our many so-called friends in the North. . . ‘We are just as anxious as anybody that the old order of things should be buried and if possible, forgotten, but we real- ize that all of these things we desire cannot be accomplished jn a few short years ofwar, no matter what our sacrifices may be, nor what may be our contribution to it.’ We have gained smany things—more than we had any'idea a year ago we would ‘possess: in the next fifty years. More are coming, some of "which we -will:have to wait-for, and some of which we will have to earn. We can'see a steady, upward movement of the race toward higher and better things. Some of them will be ‘obtained easily, while. others will have to be obtained by the exertion of all the’ powers we possess, physical, mental and moral. ‘We ‘are. not going ‘to come into, the. kingdom’ by simply rapping at the gate. There is. going to be the ‘hardest kind ‘of work before us in the years to come, and we had just as well prepare for it.now as any.other time. We had ‘just. as ‘well recognize ‘the fact that. movement requires: friction. Sand “on: thé :track is very necessary: sometimes; we have to spit on Your-hands at"times to get a firmer’ grip, or the handles will jet. out-of or Wands. 0° Sip Fs yh eB eo 8 F"" Whining .will get us nowhere. . Accepting’ the’ situation, jlooking-at matters squarely as they are, and then setting ous {facep as flint, determined we will win, no matter what stands ‘nour: way,’is the: only: way we: will get-to- the top, and-the “top is: yet,ailong’ Way,of. -j,. There isno-need'to-be discouraged;,on the contrary there - jis, every incentixe to. encourage'and stimulate the race to high- :ipr-and:hetter efforts for its‘own advancement, . We must, how- ‘ever; not lose sight of the fact that much will depend Upah yer n efforts; how we make good in the present situation. ‘We must not fall downonour jobs, but must demonstrate that in all things We are reliable, witha grasp sufficient to take ware of every situation that may coine up to us, realizing that with every opportunity comes additional responsibility. For: wer things are passing away, slowly, it is true, but neverthe- less passing away, and passing for, all time. We miust now Yeckon' with the future, and’ as added responsibilities ‘come upon us,.show that. we are capable in every way. to bear them with credit to ourselves and the community. 1 Lon We must not expect always to be the receivers,’we must be contributors as well, for in proportion as we contribute in the same proportion we will receive. | oe Just what a colored man did the other day in Norfolk, Virginia, the. police have not been able to find out. ‘A: news- boy yelled out in a Liberty Loan crowd, the: Negro ‘ran,’ and ‘the crowd left the rally to join in the pursuit. Officers over- ‘took the fleeing man and battled with the mob. for his life. No charged has been lodged against the man whose. crime ‘seems to consist in the fact that:he got frightened. and ran. Running does not always pay: ms Sleeping o nthe floor in the attic, getting a whipping for ‘associating with any of her race, mowing the lawn, cleaning ‘the house—in fact doing every kind of work around the place, angry colored people rescued a woman ‘from, practical. slavery in a Tulsa, Oklahoma white family: The woman recéived no ‘wages for her services. | 1200 orthodox Jews congregated in a Philadelphia ceme- tery last week to witness the. marriage ceremony. of two young ‘people who met at the outdoor altar for the first time. It is an old custom among these people that-such a marriage will prevent disease taking hold of the. city in which it is perform- ed. Word has not yet been received as to. whether or not the “Bly” has abated among these Philadelphia Jews, but it cer- tainly shows that colored folk have no “corner” on super- tition. : i ane 2 Public sentiment makes laws and enforces them as: well. ‘There is a law. in the British military regulations enacted in 1765, forbidding swearing in the army and fining offenders 25 ‘cents for each offerise. In spite of this law British non-com- ‘missioned officers are the finest swearers in the world. pees The 1000 men called in the recent draft and ordered to report for service in the Navy at Newport News will be utilized as coal heavers and other. forms of labor, it is said. Seems as if Daniel’s Department has only* this one kind of thing to put colored folk to doing. Nebraska attorney general ruled last week that neither the law of God or man prevents women from wearing men’s clothes when they are engaged in war work. And, women said they. only wanted the ballot. el es ne aie agen, tes". gacetmnews, phe x Be TS hog done done ova thalh,| My boy Jim has done gone ovah thaih, Aw Tan bo walhles ‘opto pray i him, 1 ax yo, Lawi, will, yo" tek keer uv sim?

Few people who have had the pleasure of visiting the palatial home of Madam C. J. Walker, at this place, but who have not been struck with the quiet beauty of the home, are begin to look at the title that the desire of the owner would run to the oriental, but the contrary is true. While the design of the house itself is surly that of an Italian Villa, the interior is quite American in almost every detail, and the title it might be called, everything is of the most modern style, and shows the greatest taste. In describing this beautiful home, for the special delight of the lady readers of this paper, we shall commence at the door and to the basement in our description. blind the frieze and only the reflection being seen.

The top floor or attic contains two large rooms, one for a nursery and one for a billiard room, with all modern conveniences suitable for each. The next floor contains the bed rooms, that of the Madam being the high bed, with high post bedgeed of mathegyn as is all of the rest of the furnishings of this room are of marble tiling with a shower bath separate, principally of glass plate. All of the furnishings of this room are of the very luxurious/kitchen manistern, the bath itself being in the floor and ample. On this floor is also the bed chamber of Madam Walker's daughter, Mrs Robinson. This room or rather suite of rooms, like that of the Madam, has its own furnishings necessary to the comforts and delights of the female sex. Other bed rooms of this floor for guest and other members of the family are all of the same nature and character, each furnished in its own particular first floor are the parlor or living room, library, breakfast room, dining room, music room and palm room. Each of these rooms is furnished in its own position. All the rooms in the music room are not including the grand piano and harp. The piano deserves special mention, be beautifully carved and overlaid in old gold. The large pipe organ, the playing part is in one part of the room, while the music part is in another part of the house, the climes being in the second story hall. The arrangement is entirely unique.

Dear mother—Only a few lines from your soldier son. I am well and still enjoying myself with my new experiences. Mother my birthday is near at hand. Just think I will twenty-one years of age. I must account for all the gifts I showed my when I enlisted to do my job for my country. I have here some wonderful experiences during the seven months I have been in the army. I think I have made fairly good progress during my year. I must finish my education. When this war is over I will return to finish. Mother, I feel that I have a wonderful future before me. If I make as much progress in the future twenty years as I did in the past there will be nothing of my climbing the latter of success. With the help of God and your prayers I will succeed in life. My fondest 10 dream will be fulfilled. I still keep my motto before me "Fail, fail; in the lesson of youth there is no such word as Mother." I was reading in the paper the passing of the "man-power" bill. I will call two of my dear brothers, Clive and Arnott. Mother, this war is very soon to end. Very soon you will be able to put three stars in your service flag. I know they will follow like I did, in the spirit. May God keep and guide them. How are all the boys? Give my love to them. I certainly would like to see my four brothers. Give my love to my brothers. Give my love of health. Mother, I trust you are well and not worrying about me. I am as safe as can be. May God bless and keep you as the prayer of P.S.-Mother. I will be entitled to wear a gold chevrots on my sleeve next month, for six month's overseas service. bind the frieze and only the reflection being seen. The furniture of this room is of massive kind and was of the most elaborate room or conservatory is all of glass with proper furnishings for the belies and beaux who like to have a few chairs, a table and a dance or other forms of amusements going on in the music room. The basement contains the kitchen, laundry, servants' dining room, pantry, and kitchenette for the transaction of the necessary business appertaining and belonging thereto, as the lawyers would say. The floor of the kitchen alone is said to be the most modern kind. All of the appliances are of the most modern kind, and all sanitary. All of the appliances of the laundry are said to be the most modern kind is situated to the left of the main building, and in addition to room for a half dozen or more cars, is fitted up with a suite of rooms for the chauffeur or house plays. Looking from the portico on the first floor, downward is the roof of the laundry, which forms another portico, and below that pagola, and below that a large pond in which are beautiful lilies growing, beyond this is the garden, from which the Madam has had stored all the vegetables, fruits, pickles and preserves she will need for herself and guests during the coming winter. Also from here is a beautiful view of the Hudson river and the Jersey shore, which with its steamboats and twinkling lights from the far shore looks like a fairy's dream at night. On the Front side the house is entered from under a porte cochere, and on the front from a circular drive which brings one to the main doorway and portico. The house is situated on the side of a hill which gives it the Italian mountain style of villa. The front is two story and attic formation, while the back is four story and attic. It would take more time and space than we have at command to describe this beautiful house in all its entirety, we would, however, say this, that this house is from top to bottom, the utmost simplicity combined with beauty. Nothing gaudy or oriental, which would in the least suggest anything else but a person of the very highest rank. Mr. Tandy is a very fortunate in securing the help of a finished colored artist, as an architect, in the person of Major Tandy, and one of the very best architects in the city. She may well be the proud of her home on the Hudson, now one of the show places of New York state. Former New Yorker Now Holding Down Important Job in Republic of Russia. An American Negro, and former New Yorker is a member of the Revolutionary Committee in Smoley, Russia, and as such is one of the highest dignitaries in the whole Russian Empire. Formerly he was an agitator and speaker for the I. W. W. in New York and an associate of Mux Eastman, editor of the "Masses." The "Masses" has been banished from the mails in the country for anti-war utterances and the editor placed on trial in the United States courts for obstructing the conduct of the war. A New York business man recently returned from Russia, tells of his meeting with this cabinet minister in the October number of the World's Work: "I made my way to Room 77, Foreign office. There was a great palaver going on. What was being said is not half so interesting as how it was being said. These officials conversed almost exclusively in English and German. They were not Russians. They were Jews. They did not talk Russian—they talked Bowery. "While waiting my turn with the Secretary, in paraded an unmistakable character—an American Negro. Abandoning all business and decorum the functionary sprang from his seat and yelled: "Hello, Johnny, what can I do for you?" The colored man returned, the greeting and was nothing if not dominate. I ventured to hall him as a businessman, and I expeditte my business. He was delighted, and assuming command agreed to shove things through for me. What Ministry do you belong to, said I. "He grinned. 'To all the ministries, I am a member of the Military Revolutionary Committee.' "No wonder the secretary hopped. This committee was the executive and administrative armament, and was superior to all ministers and all cabinets. It was the inviolate and ultimate authority.

Many auxiliaries have their own pledges of service which have boys and girls written themselves. In the pleasures however are embodied in the ideas to make, to save, and to carn. "The organization of the Junior Red Cross is broad enough to cooperate with all the activities that desire to use the school. The activities it suggests furnish a motive for many of the routine school activities in many familiar subjects presented to the pupil in a new viewpoint. It is necessary or even desirable that every school auxiliary should do the sewing and knitting usually thought of as the only kind of Red Cross work that children can do. "Every school and every child should be taught to understand its relation to this great crisis and that can be of some service in the home, the community, the country or the world at large. "In doing their lessons more faithfully, in running errands and being of general service to a neighbor's family where the son or father has been called to the colors, in saving their pennies for those less fortunate assisting in their daily work, making articles when needed, the children are helping to do their share in winning the war. "President Wilson said in a proclamation: 'Is not this perhaps the chance for you to have the man and efforts in the measure to meet our national needs?'" Miss M. Louse Smith of School 107 Miss Naina Grooms, 107; Miss Gertrude Fisher, 107; members of the Red Cross Home Nursing Class; Miss Elia R. Miller, Miss Fannie Hall, Miss Martin and Mrs. Roberta Ole are registered with the Volunteer Red Cross Workers and have been working during training. All nurses, both colored and white, take turns in relieving each other in the homes of both white and colored people who have applied to the Red Cross Civilian Relief Department for aid. While the epidemic is somewhat abated there is still much suffering and both paid and volunteer workers are much needed. The families are sick in red. Red Cross officials say, so if persons can give a few hours each day their services will be gladly accepted. Those wishing to help should report directly to the Red Cross Headquarters, Drudid Hill avenue and Eutaw Street, or to the Colored Branch, 983 Drudid Hill avenue. Which there is sickness and no one to give aid may obtain assistance by applying to the Red Cross, S. C. Fernandis, director.

ARE YOU WRITING TO YOUR BOY "OVER THERE' Are you writing to that boy or friend of yours over there? If not, get busy and write now. Do not wait for him to answer, he is busy swatting the Boches, and he has no time to write, but he wants to hear from you and as he is fighting for you and not complaining, it is up to you to keep his spirits up by doing all you can, and if it is letters that he wants why not write them. You have enot written for weeks because you have a hard drive from him. You surely must have been ashamed of yourself when you read Musician John H. Evans' letter in the Afro. The very idea of a whole company being without a letter. You cannot write, you say? Then, get someone to write for you. No matter how you get it done, get that letter written every week and send it without fail. If we expect him to take the time to write a letter. A taking the time to write a letter. A calling the light and do his best if he is worried by blinding because he does not hear from home. Dont delay your letters for there is a lot of comfort and cheer in a message from home. But above all remember that a soldier wants letters of CHEER, letters that encourage and are helpful. For goodness sake don't tell him of your troubles and sacrifices, he has enough trouble over there and he needs LETTERS THAT SMILE, SMILE, SMILE and keep on smiling. M.B. (By Ruth Danenhower Wilson of The Vigilantes.) THE SMITHES In those anxious moments when a mother is waiting for the doctor to come to her suddenly sick or hurt child, prompt, wise action on her part is often of great help. Mothers should always keep in the house for emergencies syrup of ipecac, castor oil and dry mustard. If baby has swallowed poison give two ounces of syrup of ipecac to cause active vomiting. While waiting for the doctor in a case of croup give the baby one teaspoon of syrup of ipecac. Repeat the dose in 15 minutes if vomiting does not occur. If baby has swallowed a foreign body do not give an emetic or laxative as either m.m. force the object into the tender gastrointestinal tract Give it a warm, moist or cornmeal mush to become coated around the object and help it to be passed naturally without causing injury. If the baby has convulsions put it as quickly as possible into a bath of 105 F. with an even teaspoon of dry mustard added to five gallons of water. If possible take the temperature of the bath but do not leave the patient in the hot water more than ten minutes. Rub and dry vigorously after the bath. Give two teaspoons of castor oil and an enema as soon as possible. When a doctor is called for a case of ear ache apply only a hot water bag before he comes. A mother will frequently drop hot sweet oil into the aching ear, making it difficult for the doctor to determine whether there is a discharge when he looks into the afflicted member with his instrument. WOMEN DOING WAR WORK Women of Chester, Pa., Purchase Building To House Members of their Sex Doing War Work Chester, Pa., Oct. 23—The Special Assistant to Secretary of War announced today that it is highly encouraging to note that the colored women of Chester, Pa., acting under the auspices of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs, of which Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, is president and Mrs. Robecca Aldridge of Pittsburg, Pa.) Honorary presidents have purchased a building used as a home for women in the race who are making our work in the many corporations in and near the city of Chester, Pa. This property will also be used as a center for Governmental activities, viz.: American Red Cross, Colored Women's Unit of the National Council of Defense, etc. This is the first effort on the part of the women in said city to do something definite along this particular line, although they have been working fatfully ever since they were formed. Their achievement should be an inspiring example to colored women in every city where any appreciable group of them reside. A formal opening of the building in question will be held October 30th-November 1st. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, principal of the National Training-School for Women and Girls, Washington, D.C., and other prominent persons have been invited to attend a special adduction and excursion. The officers of the Pennsylvania State Federation of Negro Women's Clubs are as follows: Mrs. Ruth L. Bennett, president; Mrs. Lalura A. Brown, vice president; Mrs. R. Evelyn Payne, recording secretary; Mrs. Ida S. Wright, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Fannie E. Morton, treasurer; Mrs. Daisy E.

ATIANTA, GA. The moonlight poured down upon Hunley's Lane with all the abandon of a June night. "I never knew! I never knew!" he muttered. He was a tall man, dusk brown, proudly wearing the khaki of the American army. The girl who clung to him was of a soft brown, somewhat like the sunset in a summer sky, and slender and willow of form. "Mum, she call with a job in her voice." I thought that I told you. Willis' face was stolid. "You never told me," he answered, his voice low and without passion. "You never told me. Had you told me, everything would have been different." "Different?" "Yes, different. I would have hastened our marriage. I would not have waited until my country needed my services no longer." "But Aunt Mab?" "Am a man of honor. Aunt Mab could have prevented me from making right a great wrong." "Then why can't you do your duty now?" He seized her roughly and looking into her eyes with all the sternness of his soldier mature he said: "Tomorrow I leave for France. My country can be my country, my country can be my country. Not for even you would I forsake my country." "You are abrite," she flashed, the anger rising in her voice. "No, not a brute, but a patriot and a soldier." "You are!" she shouted. "You lie!" Her face flashed fire. "You're trying to hide behind the flag. You're trying to make your country an excuse for your treachery. You knew what you were to me the day your country dratted you. You knew you knew! You knew you knew! You hide behind. You have waited and waited until it is too late." "I have not waited and I have not evaded. I loved you and still love you. I would rather be with you every hour of the day than one moment to go to Marmara to meet the mission must be fought. We must forget everything, even love, that the Stars and stripes may wave in triumph." "But what of me?" Her voice was hysterical. "What of me?" Must I be a dignitary to mighty fight your country's battle in a land three thousand miles away?" "You must bear the burdens of war." "There are some burdens Willis, that women cannot bear. Gossip wounds deeper than all of your machine girls." "You must remember a man lays down his life for his country. A woman should be willing to hyde down her honor." "Honor is greater than life. We wage war that honor might be cherished." "The distance a bugle call was sounded. Willis stood erect, a proud smile on his lips. "It is the last summons. God yide little girl! I am on my way to No Man's Land." "You are leaving me?" "Yes, go bye." He enforced her in his arms and despite her new-born hatred for him she relaxed kiss, and the warmness of their blood thrilled them both. "Good-bye!" he whispered softly. "May God keep you." He cursed his last walk to the man. Melinda watched his retreating form, her face tear-stained. "May God curse you!" she cried "May your bones rot in No Man's Land. May you learn what it means to betray an innocent girl. May your nights be as sleepless as mine and your days days of day in prison camp. May your ghost haunt you making moment and the ghost of your son pursue you every- where." She sank to the ground. "It is the poison!" she gasped. "Thank God for the poison!" It was but one hour later that we found the lifeless body of a young colored girl at the lower end of Hunley's Lane. Only the moonlight of that June night knows the secret of Melinda's death. —Favorite Magazine. MME.

Sprinkle the tomatoes with pepper and lightly with a bruised clove of garlic. Invert on a plate until ready for use. To the tomato pulp add two tablespoons of butter or oil, one finely chopped onion, one-fourth cup of finely chopped bacon, and one teaspoon of finely chopped parsley; season with salt, pepper, a few grains of cloves, and a tablespoon of cloves, and a tablespoon of three-fourth cup of soft bread (the mixture is to moist). Cook five minutes, stirring constantly. Fill the prepared tomatoes, cover with buttered crumbs and grated cheese and bake thirty minutes in a moderately hot oven. The above recipe is excellent.
