Howard University Had Largest Enrollment, 707, While Hampton Institute Was Next With 427 (Special Correspondence) Washington, D. C., December 2.—Howard University and all other college and vocational schools throughout the country taken over by the Government for the Student Army Training Corps last October demobilized all military units today. Forty-one regular army officers, including dentists and surgeons, hundreds of student instructors, and 2022 students in colored schools are affected by the order. The draft regulations as put in force at the beginning of the school term provided that students 18 years of age or over, who might be enrolled in the schools and colleges of the country, should be enrolled in the army training corps, receive their instruction, board, lodging and uniform at the expense of the government, and be trained for war service. The aim was to secure material for officers in the overseas army. As a result of this all of the colleges took on a martial importance. For racks and drill grounds were constructed on the campus grounds, students were put under military discipline, and in schools of the South Bike Atlanta University, Morsehous College and others, colored men carried firearms openly for the first time since the reconstruction. For the first time in the history of the country colored regular army officers were placed in command of posts, and in patriotic parades in the interest of Loan drives and in demonstration of Peace marched at the heads of their commands. RECAME EFFECTIVE MONDAY The abrupt ending of the war made the continuance of the military school work unnecessary and the order became effective last Monday. The complete demobilization is expected to be completed by December 21. After the Christmas holidays the boys will return to school as plain ordinary college men. Their $20 a month, pay of a private that they have been receiving will step and parents at home will be called on to pay the expenses of their board, lodging and tuition. Following a physical examination every student will be muscled out of Uncle Stant's service. MANY MEN HARD HIT At the beginning of the school term, many men were induced to enter college by the prospect of all expenses paid by the government and in addition pay of $30 a month. These men will be hard hit by the loss because they will now have to go to college in their own pockets to foot the bills. Forty-one regular army officers will also be thrown out of positions and in all probability will be transferred to other places. Maple Young, lieutenant of Fort Des Moines, but some of them are captains. HOWARD HAD LARGEST UNIT Howard University with 707 men enrolled in the corps had the largest unit. L. Russell Smith Commander, Hampton Institute with 445 men, Capt. Robert Sealy commander was second. Wilberforce, L. Perelvic Piper commanding with 400 enrolled stood third.

There were also lectures of military science—In the 'readjustment these courses will be omitted or radically changed. Vocational training included work in radio telegraphy, carpentry and electricity. This section also drilled eleven hours per week. Four barracks including dining room and kitchen had been erected by the government on Howard Campus for both kinds of training. Lincoln University offered collegiate training only to 102 students under command of Lt. John Simms.

Accredited of the Committee on Public Information Somewhere in France—The colored people back in America can well feel proud of the record made by the 22d Division over here, which has about 600 colored line officers, and whose rank and file is composed exclusively of colored shoes of the German army in combat regiment nine to November 8th, 1918. When the Marache society was taken over by the 22d Division of "Black Devils," as the Germans call the, "No Man's Land" was owned by the Germans and here they were aggressively on the offensive. They, the Germans, held Belle Farm, Bois De Tote D'Ete, Bols De Prehaut, Volvortte Farm, Voivrotte Woods, Bois Chemet, and Mouton Brook. The consistently aggressive action of the day and night, from the 22d has resulted in many casualties to the Germans and the capture of many prisoners. Each of the places named above have been raided, as has also Epley, and patrols from the Division have penetrated north nearly to the east and west line through Pagny. The Germans have been driven north beyond Frechau and Volvotze to Chemin bridge and in his desperation the Hunt is attempting to destroy the Selle Bridge, after having flooded the Selle, proving conclusively that he regretted the black troops that compass the 92nd Division as they cross the carefully fortified west of the Selle, excellent results have followed the energetic offensive action of this doughty wing of the Allied Army, the Germans losing heavily in killed and wounded and prisoners. In nearly every instance, these raids made by troopers of this Division have been made under the command of colored line officers. This record made by these colored soldiers must, of necessity, amuse the greatest enthusiasm back in "The States" and merit the plaudits of the race for the gallant fighting machine. So wonderful have been the achievements of the 92nd that the Division Commander was impelled to send out a bulletin of congratulations, read before each unit, to the Division, this prince must forever set at rest the question of colored soldiers following and fighting under their own officers, and it must forever establish the efficiency of colored officers, who have done splendidly under the most trying circumstances.

Grafton Brown, Mason Hawkins, John Rich, Harry McCard and Dr. Harry Brown placed before the supervisors the needs of the hospital and presented ways that they could help.

There is said to be opening for five such applicants immediately. BURIAL OF A COLORED SOLDIER AT SEA Washington, D. C., December 4. Dr. Thomas Josse Jones, who recently went to France, under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A., has just sent Mr. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant, War Department, the following account of the burial of a colored soldier at sea: A colored soldier was buried at sea today. The flags on all the ships of the fleet have been at half-heat all day. It matters not that the soldier came from a lowly cabin. It matters not that his skin is black. He is a soldier in the army of the United States and he was on his way to fight for Democracy and Civilization. The announcement of his death was every commander and every ship prepared to do honor to the colored soldier. As the sun was setting in the West, the guard of honor including all the officers from the commander to the private came to attention. The body of the Negro trooper wrapped in the American flag, was tenderly carried to the stern of the ship. The chaplain read the solemn burial service. The engines of the fleet were checked. The troop-ship was stopped for the only time in the long trip from America to Europe. The bigle sounded taps and the of the American soldier was committed to the great ocean and to God. The comradeship of the solemn occasion the comradeship of real Democracy. There was neither black nor white, North nor South, rich nor poor. All united in rendering honor to the Negro soldier who died in the service of humanity.

Nov. 22d—Six hundred wounded and half starved allied soldier prisoners, forty-five of whom are Americans, were found by Red Cross workers, who were he first Americans to enter Metz. The Americans, ten of whom were Negroes, belonging to the 92nd Division, were captured in the Argonne. The Germans had been gone three days and had taken with them their own wounded, but had left the prisoners unsupplied with food or medicine. The French civilian authorities, who took charge of them did the best they could. The prisoners were French, Russians, Italians and Americans, and they were all badly in need of food and other attention, said Captain Harrison, of the Red Cross. "The Russians were literally and systematically starved to death. They were compelled to work without adequate food or clothing until they dropped in their trucks. The prowled his hand and ankles, in the field of the raw potatoes, caebbage and groups of anything they could find. The Americans and French were not in a bad condition until the Germans up. Up to that time they had been fed partly by the townspeople and by the Germans. They had the attention of only two local French physicians who were without medicines. "When we arrived at the hospital we had only chocolates and cigarettes in our car. We distributed these among the men and then returned immediately to get the proper supply of food and medicines." **REV. HUGHES APPOINTED** New Orleans, La.

C., Dec. 3.—Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee institute, has gone to France as the request of President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker to do morale work among the colored troops not stationed on the battlefield, relaxed, it is the usual disposition of all armies to fall into excesses of various kinds. Dr. Moton will visit all the centers where numbers of supply troops, stealthcore regiments, deputy brigades, labor battalions and command troops are arising in every way that they observe the good name they have won on the battle-fields and in the service in France, that they may not furnish the slightest cause for unfavorable comment or adverse criticism before they are sent to the United States. Dr. Moton carried with him letters of introduction to the highest officers of the American Expeditionary Forces and to the American Ambassador at the University. He was accompanied by Mr. Nathan H. Moore, the American Ambassador to the New York Age. The party sailed on the United States transport "Orizaba" Sunday, December 1st at 2 o'clock. On the same transport Dr. W. E. B.

LEFTENANT HILL WELL Word from Lt. Daniel Hill Jr. who was wounded in the right thigh in fighting in France states that he is recuperating at Nice in Southern France. He is expected home shortly. "Unless the democracy that we have been fighting for in Europe includes the colored people in America then it is a sham," declared Dr. James H. Dillard in his address at the closing session of the Maryland State Colored Teachers Association last Friday night. Dr. Dillard, a white man, is president of the Jeannes and Shater Fund amounting to more than a million a half dollars. He expressed on this money is expended each year to help rural schools in the South. He has several other speakers on the program Friday night including W. H. Maltible, white, food administrator for the State, but the principal address was made by Dr. Dillard. He said that "great good is coming to the colored people from their part in the war. Everything is not coming at once. You have a right to expect a change in treatment here. Don't expect too much. Everything depends upon public sentiment, which cannot be changed overnight. "I believe firmly that good relations all the way through. Things are improving as rapidly as a whole people can be. Every man, rich and poor, high and low shall have a chance. That is what democracy means, and if democracy does not then just that—an equal chance—then it is a sham." TAKES FLING AT LOW SALARIES The main part of Dr. Dillard's address dealt with advice to the teachers in which he urged them to keep studying, to keep a snailing face and to be unbending in their standards of requirements. Teachers were told that it was just as dishonest to steal a grade as to steal a dollar, and were urged not to recommend children for promotion who did not come up to the standard. GEO. B.

PRICE 5 CENTS RAPE CHARGE WAS NOT PROVEN Brady Argues That It Would be a Dangerous Precedent For State to Establish motive on Such Ground Annapolis, Md., Dec. — Before Chief Judge Boyd and Judges Briscoe Burke, Thomas, Pattison, Urner, Stockbridge and Constable of the Court of Appeals, the case of John Snowden versus the state of Maryland came up for hearing at the Court House today. The detective that the case would be heard on Tuesday, but it was not reached on the docklet until today. Both the lawyers for the defense and these for the state were primed for the contest and all Annapolis was a state of exile and the option of the defendant was looked for in less than a week or ten days. The motion of the states attorney Green to dismiss the Appeal of Snowden altogether and allow the state to proceed with the hanging was unanimous by the defence, the option of the defendant was due solely, to the "naglect, omission or inability of the clerk or Appealer." "We feel," argued the defense, "that the record will show, that the delay was occasioned by the inability of the clepest to make the defense of the option of the Appeague refusing to act in accordance with the request, of Judge Ducean, and the latters illness. The Appeant at no time was in default or gullity of laches." BRADY'S STRONGEST BEFORE The strongest point made by Lawyer corp. is the defenses to strike out the evidence of the doctors as to rape. Specialists based their opinions of rape on the fauna discovered on the body of Lottie Brandon after death. Due to the fact that the body lay at least five hours, and perhaps longer before examination and due also, to the fact that Mr. Brandon admitted marital relations with his wife 14.00clock before she was murdered, Mr. Brady argued that the evidence of rape was insufficient and the opinion should be stricken from the record. "The object and purpose of the State in introducing such testimony was, no doubt, to establish a motive," said Mr. Brady, "not yet it not the at-dangerous precedent to allow the State to attempt to establish such testimony as sufficient grounds shown by the evidence to justify, a reasonable mind to reach such a conclusion. We feel that a motive should be established by substantial facts and proven beyond a reasonable doubt, but to say that a woman was raped because a mucous discharge from another evidence, to support it, would be most dangerous, and an opinion of the kind without any evidence to support it should not have been allowed to go to the jury."

Murphy, Manager. BOTH CAROUNAS—BUT THEY ARE DIFFERENT When the National Committee made the proposition to apportion each state its allotment of War Savings Certificates on the basis of $20 per capita, representatives from the South objected. To quote Kate M. Herring, director or Publicity, North Carolina War Savings Committee, "They claimed that this method of determining quotas was inequitable to the South for the reason that a large part of its population consisted of Negroes, and they cannot buy an average of $20 per capita of War Savings Stamps." They therefore urged the committee to put the apportionment on some other basis than population, but the committee would not move and held the South to the same basis as other sections. Miss Herring tells what happened in the two Carolinas. South Carolina was the only state to proceed with its work and require less of the Negro than other citizens. They made a reapportionment of their quota and assigned to Negroes $2 per capita and to whites enough over $20 to make up the balance. North Carolina followed the plan of the National Committee and made no distinction, requiring $20 per capita from colored as well as white. The result has been that the records show "THEY HAVE BOUGHT AND PLEDGED TO BUY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS FAR MORE EXTENSIVELY IN COMPARISON WITH THEIR ABILITY THAN WHITES." In South Carolina, the state committee treated the Negro as less than a citizen and hardly obtained their $2 per capita. North Carolina recognized him for what he was and in the campaign the colored man did more than he was asked to do. AN EPOCH out of all bonded in E. Churches this ww e epoch in their exist e thru an unprece ches in the past d ches acquired or b endid accomplishme ly free from debt and social work in o face it. With the wiping out of all bonded indebtedness on Sharp Street and Ames M. E. Churches this week, these two institutions enter into a new epoch in their existence. The city has gone thru an unprecedented era of buying and holding of churches in the past decade. Nearly every one of the large churches acquired or built its home in these years, and it is a splendid accomplishment to see two of them lift their heads, entirely free from debt and face the development of community and social work in a way that they have never yet been able to face it. LAST OR FIRST? The Birmingham, Alabama Ledger, white, notes in its news columns under the heading of "ALABAMA'S LAST NERO STATE SENATOR" the passing of Samuel Epps last of Negro State Senators. Senator Epps was a hack driver did odd jobs during his last years, but his earnings are said to have gone for liquor, which he acquired during his term. It may be that Senator Epps never occupied the high intellectual plane of Edward G. Walker and Charles Mitchell of Massachusetts, first colored men in the country to sit in any state legislature. It may be that the terrible days of carpetbaggers and Ku Klux during the time that the late Mr. Epps held his seat drove him to madness and to drink, which are about one and the same thing. Whatever it was, for a good many years. Mr. Epps bore the flippant references of his white friends to his former office in the state senate. One of these days memory will stand in a better light, and the man who lately passed away, unnoticed, almost and unknown, will be pointed to as the—rIRST, not the LAST of Alabama's colored state senators. THE PASSING OF FANNIE FREELAND The death of Miss Fannie Frelent and her burial from the parlors of the Nichols family (white) 535 Carrollton Ave. takes away one of the last of a fading and nearly extinct generation Miss Freeland was born a slave in the Nichols household seventy years ago. Her mother and grandmother served as cooks before her, and when they died were buried with all the honors due a slave and lifelong servant, in the family burial lot. Rev. A. L. Gaines preached the funeral of Miss Freeland before an audience of both white and colored. A number of colored women, with whom the deceased had associated in the Y. W. C. A. and other organizations gathered with the family for the last rites. Four white men, three Nichols brothers and the fourth a nephew acted as pall bearers and together with other members of the family accompanied the remains to Laurel Cemetery, where Miss Freeland unlike her mother and grandmother had bought her own final resting place. It is said that Miss Freeland received $25 a month by will of an old deceased Mrs. Nichols and $12 a month from the family as wages. She was given so many things that she hardly needed to touch her income to furnish the necessities of life. As a worker in the Y. W. C. A., her church and allied organizations she was well known but in her daily work, she never got outside of the "big" house and never married. Miss Freeland represented the faithful type of slave and later house servant so common and so beloved in the South before the war. Most all of her kind have gone. We suspect that she ruled the Nichols household, certainly the kitchen with a rod of iron. There was no one who could cook like 'Aunt' Fanny and on the other hand no one in the world like "Mrs." Nichols. Kansas City, Kansas colored folk, according to the press dispatches, raised $40,000 for the War Work Campaign. The city has about 12,000 colored inhabitants. Atlanta, Georgia, with about 55,000 colored population, raised $65,000 for the same campaign fund. Baltimore pledged seventeen thousand dollars more than was asked for in its campaign, and the committee got this amount together with very little trouble. In the North the Campaign Committees, white and colored were not kept separate, so that it is not definitely known what the colored population contributed. It is certain, however, that they did their part. The point is that no matter what section of the country is considered, a little below the Mason and Dixon line, as in Baltimore, or way below the line, as in Atlanta, or in the wild West, as in Kansas City, patriotic colored folk can be relied upon to do their share, AND MORE. According to our information, Hampton Institute was left $100,000 by the will of the late Mrs. Russell Sage. Later reports set the amount given Tuskegee and Hampon Institutes at $700,000 each. The probation of Mrs. Sage's will will be awaited with unusual interest. Evidence brought before the Criminal Court last week proved that Christian Simms, an eighteen year old boy, was severely beaten over the head by a policeman, who was taking him back to the cage in the Northwestern Station after trial before the station house justice. Simms had been arrested charged with firing off a pistol in celebration of peace. The police justice had tried his case and sentenced him to two months incarceration. The lawyer for Simms appealed the case, and the boy was taken back to the cell in the station house. It was while being taken back that the policeman or turnkey is alleged to have struck him. Several similar cases have come up recently and indicate that some steps are necessary to compel police to use clubs and blackjacks less freely. Colored people may rest assured of one representative at the Peace Conference. He may not go over with the President's delegation or sit in the official meetings, but if it is humanly possible to get a passport and reach the other side of the waters, he will be there with both feet. The Arkansas Baptist Association has voted to send Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris to attend the World Peace Conference "wherever and whenever it is held," to look aftr the interests of the colored people. ```markdown ``` Of course he is glad the war is over But deep within his heart, He really feels that he has done A slacker's graveless part. He meant to go and wrest from fate A hero's glorious fame And now that it is all too late His head is bowed with shame. He saw his brothers march away He heard the trumpets blar And fondly hoped that some glad day He'd join them over there. But ship on ship put out to sea Their decks with soldiers lined. To set unhappy nations free And still he stayed behind. And so he never had his chance To leave his native shore And win upon the fields of France The highest prize of war. Of course he does not rail at peace But secretly, we know He hoped the fighting might not cease Until he too could go. And yet we're glad that war did pause Ere he could join the fray We're glad, he never got across, because He's only ten today. CORPORAL AKTHUR BOWIE 426 R. C, Camp Sevier, S. C. --- Private James C.

RECEPTION Mrs. Victoria Gross, of 558-Awlis street, has just returned from visiting her niece and nephew, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Williams, of 2229 Catherine street, Philadelphia, where a reception in honor of her was given. The guests in honor of Mrs. Gross were Rev. and Mrs. Tames Terror, Miss Charles Williams, Mrs. Cornelius Williams, Miss Edith Goss, daughter; Mrs. Henrietta Gross, sister; Miss Mary Williams, Mr. Willie Hardy, Master Charles Nichols. MRS. SOPHIA NICHOLSON Mrs. Sophia Nicholson, a member of Lane Execsior Council I. O. of St. Luke, also of the Past Chief Council No. 48, departed this life last week. The funeral service was held at the Fountain Baptist Church on Tuesday, December 3. Rev. R. P. H. Green, the pastor, conducted the service, assisted by Mrs. M. E. McCormick, Past District Deputy of the Order. THE NEW FIRST INDEPENDENCE After spending three months in the hospital in France and two months in Base Hospital No. 11 at Cape May, N. J. Sergeant William Brady, formerly a member of the First Separate Company, later transferred to the 372nd Infantry, spent Thanksgiving with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. William Brady live at 527 W. Hoffman street. Sergeant Brady, who has been over the top and came out alive, was the centre of admiring friends while in the city. Slightly limping from a left ankle, with a broken collarbone, left eye vision gone, right eye, vision impaired, and voice weak from shell shock, he was assigned to the New Jersey hospital for an indefinite stay. Many out-of-town friends spent the day at the home of his parents with him. Miss Hattie Armstrong, of Baltimore, and Mr. Ellison Swann, were quietly married in Boston, Mass. Nov. 26th, 1918. MARRIAGE November 20, 1918, Mrs. Elizbeth Williams, of Baltimore and Mr. Henry E. Evans were married at their private residence. Both are well known in society circles, the ceremony was performed by Dr. Johnson of Trinity A. M. E. Church. They were surprised when Mrs. Williams' husband Edward E. Williams, had a reception for them. They received many handsome presents. The ceremony was performed at 1215 Brevard street. INDEPENDENT CHURCH INDEPENDENT CHURCH IN NEW BUILDING The First Independent A. M. E. Church, of which Rev. L. C. Curtis is the pastor, worshipped for the first time in its new building, B23 Biddle street near Pennsylvania avenue last Sunday. The congregation is not quite five years old. The building is one story white marble and fitted up with an auditorium, pastor's study and board room. It is electrically lighted and heated by steam. The ground cost $2400 and the building $13,500. As the congregation increases and the small debt structure is lifted, an upper store and steele for the church is planned. The pastor preached from the text "Hitherto has God helped us" last Sunday and a large audience crowded the church. From The Trenches CORP. CLARENCE CRIEGLER Corporal Clarence Crigler Co. 1 372 Inf. A. E. F. Writes to his father, Rev. D. K. Crigler, 1309 N. Stricker St., that he is well and doing well. He desires his father to send him the Afro-American and says that he is going to send his picture to the paper. Private Percy Williams 371 Inf. A. E. F. Writes to his sister, Miss Mattie Williams, 347 Camell street, that he is out of the hospital. He says that he was one of the first boys from Baltimore to go into the trenches and he is proud of the fact that he is in the U. S. Army. He further states that his officers treat the boys fine and are some of the best commanding officers in Europe. He asks his sister to send him at BLACK TROOPS DISTINGUISH THEMSELVES IN RECENT DRIVE Lieut. A. S. Helm Chaplain U. S. A. Headquarters 372 R. I. U. S. S. P. 179, A. E. F. Writes to his cousin, Miss Daisy Pride, 558 W. Biddle St.— The Black Troops acquitted themselfs creditably in the last big drive. The troops I refer to are those in my particular sector. Three colored American regiments, including my own and one Moroccan Division. We are in a French Division and hence have a French general, Gayet by name. The French general complimented the Black Troops very high; He addresses us as "Friends" from the bottom of his heart. General Gayet has been a soldier all his life and therefore speaks with authority. He expresses as his most sincere congratulations for the glory that my regiment helped to contribute to his Division. General Gayet states in his commendatory letter that he always had full confidence in us; but we surpass his hopes. The France-American Division fought hard for nine days. During that time we progressed five miles in the face of powerfully organized defences; we took several villages, nearly 600 prisoners, captured 15 guns of different calibres, 20 nomenferere, and nearly 150 machine guns. We secured an enormous amount of engineering material and important supplies of artillery ammunition. The Red Hand Division of our Division. The Red Hand Division took the Hun by the throat and made him cry for mercy. General Gaylet adds, "You have well avenged our glorious dead." General Garnier Duplassis was commanding our army coupe at the time of the drive. He addresses to us his most sincere thanks and his warmest congratulations for the glorious successes achieved by their admirable ardour and their indomitable terrace. He salutes the brave American Regiments who have rivalled in intrepidity their French comrades. He adds, "The treason committed to them have been performed for every one of the days of that victorious journey, they are inscribed in the conquered ground materialized by the trophies taken from the enemy and engraved in the heart of the chief who bows before the troops and salutes them profoundly. SELS VICTOR HUGS BIRTH PLACE Private Lawrence Queen, Ordinance Detachment, A. P. O. 724, writes to Miss Frances Murphy of School 10 that he is well and happy and enjoyed the trip over. He says that things are quite different in France. The houses, with the stone floors and ladders very often, go to the second floor, are very quaint and picturesque. In some of the villages the inhabitants still wear wooden shoes and the women wear quail-like caps, while the elderly men wear large brim velvet hats with ribbon streamers hanging down in the town where Joan D'Arce was blessed before she went into battle. Victor Hugo was born in this same town. "I saw Lieutenant Webb and I was so very glad to see him that I forgot to salute him. He looked so healthy and robust that one would have thought he had been taking a res cure." SATISFIED WITH FRANCE A letter has been received from Private Raymond Hamilton now with C. A. 371 Inf. A. E. F. Sector Postal 229 France in which he "expressed every satisfaction and wishes to be remembered to his many friends. His letter was dated October 29th. Mrs. F. E. Medley of N. Calthoun street, has received a letter from her brother, Private Freddie Gray, now stationed somewhere in France. He writes that he is in perfect health and wishes to be remembered to all his friends who ask of him. PRIVATE LEON SAMPSON THE MAID SERVES TEA Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sampson of 538 W. Lanvale street received several souvenirs and cards from their son Leon, who is in France. He writes: I am away on a furlough. The place is Aix les Bains. It is a place where the French and English nobilities usually go for their vacation. It is a beautiful place with stores and everything like a city. The mountains are especially beautiful. We have a wonderful Y. M. C. A. It is a large estate that belonged to a rich Frenchman. The house occupies a block. There is a large theatre in it where we had a show yesterday. Harry K. Thaw used to visit this house. He lost two million dollars in it in one night. It is the second largest gambling house in the world. I am stopping at the Francis Marie Hotel, and am having quite a nice time. I am sending you a post card of this place and my picture too. I am sending you a handkerchief souvenir de Farance. My regards to Jessie. Answer soon, from your son. F. S. I have been entertained by the people here. I was invited to the home of the mayor with lieutenants and captains.

GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR 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.

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 Quinascap. Quinascap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinascap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unqualified by any other shampoo.

BAPTISTS UNITE A meeting of the board of Maryland Colored Baptist State Missionary Convention held on November 21 to consider the merging of its interests with those of the Colored Baptist Convention. It was evidenced that there was not a unanimous opinion in favor of the merger so the following matters decided to leave the convention and form the Colored Baptist Convention—How, Dr. Jesus Gray, T. H. Winn, Lloyd Reed, A. B. Collins, B. J. Horns, Samuel Ward, M. Kenny, Thomas Williams, and Z. E. Beam. Ben James Gray, president of the Maryland Colored Baptist Missionary Convention, was the moving spirit in the meeting. He said that those who joined him in going over to the Colored Baptist Convention, realized that it was an effort toward the amalgamation of all the Baptist interests of the State. He further stated that they were mindful of the great work done by Ben Harvey Johnson who founded the Colored Baptist Convention nearly a quarter of a century ago, and of his efforts along educational lines in the theology Williams University, which is entirely free of debt. The contention of the younger ministers is that the older organization should receive the support of all the Baptists in the State to the end that one strong virile body might exist, instead of three or more small bodies. DR. JESUS GRAY HAPPY The Bishops are coming together, Dr. Jerome Gray has resigned the presidency of the Maryland Colored Baptist state Missionary Convention, and now postdocs have followed him and will become members of the Colored Baptist Convention.
