Murphy Tells of the Fine Work of Two People in Building up a Million Dollar Business—New Building one of the Finest in the City. It is not always easy to make other people see things just as you see them but that is just what I am trying to do, with the hope that I may be successful in the attempt. Having received a very cordial invitation to attend the dedication ceremonies in connection with the opening of Poro College, from Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, St. Louis, Mo., I hesitated about accepting I for a while, but when I found that Rev. Dr. Brooks, the pastor pastor of Bethel A. M. N. Church, had also received a like invitation, I decided I would accompany him and see what all about. Arriving in St. Louis, we were met at Union Station by the "Faro" auto-tee of a crushing force. Trying to force in the building. Dressing having been shaded for an open address, he was quickly taken in charge and hurried at once to the platform, and without the formality of changing his traveling more formal one, he got on with his address, never, not being in his address decimated nothing from the salient address he delivered. Poro College: What of it? What is it? Poro College is only another name for a purely business proposal, and this business proposal to do with preparations make hair grow, and incidentally, make it straight. It is an institution where girls and women go to learn the business, and the name "College." But Poro college is more, it is the largest appointed business institution owned by colored people in the United States. Moreover, it is not a institution on paper, but a real reality of brick, cement, and other "ingredients" as the college book would say, that no one up a full grown business in every particular. Just where to begin to describe the building is almost a puzzle to the writer, for there is so much to see and to say that we hardly know just where to begin. The building takes up half a block each on Pendleton and 127 feet on one and 147 feet on the other. It is a three-season building with roof garden courtyards on its summit. On the first floor is the lobby, and it would do credit to any hotel in the United States, with a rest room overlooking it. Back of this is the counting room with some twenty or more typwriters, four dictographs, and a large size throughs' adding machines. Over this, on the mezzanine floor are booths, where you will meet hair dressers, hair stylists and a dentist. Booths are all fitted up with electric lights, hot and cold water, and all other conveniences. Matter from the counting room is sent to the various departments by means of a pneumatic system such as is seen in large department stores. A large auditorium is reached from the main entrance, which seats some five or six hundred people on the lower tier. The lattice on the interior reached by an iron statue on the inside. There are six mannequins or extras in a museum and it can be emptied in less than three minutes. A fine store is part of the equipment. Besides the main office, Mr. and Mrs. Malone each have a, private office with all modern equipments. A large fire proof vault will hold the books and other paraphernalia of the office. In the basement is the main facuring department, also the storage department, the heating plant as well as the refrigeration plant. The drinking water plant is filtered and cooled in the water plant and the air which is carried throughout the building is carried in a new system. Offices, reception rooms, dormitories, dining room, kitchen, lavatories, bath rooms, and, all other apparitions, of a first class office building with hotel accommodations combined is found here. In fact nothing is wanted to make this building first class in every particular. This great business has been built up by Mrs. Malone, Mr. Malone having only come into it during the past few years. To her, it is due the fact, a business, which runs up into the hundreds of thousands each year. Ten thousand dollars worth of parcel post stamps in one year surely means some business, and this did not include stamps for correspondence. There are 150 employees in the build- WOUNDED IN ACTION Richard Freeman, 525 Lambert St. a member of the old 1st Separate Company of this city now the 372 Infantry, was wounded in the later part of September in the Chateau-Thierry drive. Private Freeman is 24 years old and enlisted with the 1st Separate Company last August one year ago. He was trained at Anniston, Alabama and left for overseas duty last February. He is reported wounded in the left-foot. DIVINE RIGHT OF RACES MUST GO Dean Kelly Miller Says That Must Go Along With the "Divine Right" of Kings." Sage Foundation Building today, the National League held its Annual Meeting, which consisted in an afternoon business session, and an evening public meeting, at which Arthur Glisson and Kelly Miller were the principal speakers, with L. Hellingworth Wood, president of the League, presiding. Dean Kelly Miller of the College of Arts and Sciences, or Howard University, in part as follows: Lloyd George, the greatest statesman in the continent of Europe, has said that in the future of the government of the colonies must be for the welfare of the colonists themselves. Belgians did not consider the human element in gathering rubber from the colonists. We are going to have, hereafter, the colonists of Africa coming under the control of the British Navy to think. We have a human interest in the colonies that we have a human in the colonies that no other nation in the world has. We have 12,000,000 people who were delivered from the continent of Africa, and we have a chain of human relationship with that continent. England had not the idea of democracy, but is getting it now. The United States must furnish an example to the of the proper government of these retarded peoples in the colonies. In the United States we have ten million Americans who have a human interest and whom the United States can use as instruments in helping to establish a human regime in the colonies." GREEN'S PREJUDICED AP PEAL IN SNOWDEN CASE GREEN'S PREJUDICED AP PEAL IN SNOWDEN CASE Annapolis, MD, December 11—Annapolis is still agog over the hearing of the Snowden case before the Court of Appeals last Thursday. The decision of the judges either granting or refusing a new trial is expected almost any day, and meantime a discussion of the merits and demurits of the recent trial goes on. Nearly everywhere extreme dissatisfaction was expressed at the argument of States Attorney Green, who said in effect before the Court of Appeals, that Snowden would have been hanged long ago, were it not for certain interests in Annapolis and Earlmore who kept the case alive and raised a good bit of money making capital out of it. Green also referred to the Rev. Williams of Annapolis as "the chief witness and pillar of the defense." Green said that the Rev. Williams incited other witnesses not to tell what they knew in the case, and told them not to refuse and not handle them for refusing to tell everything. Rev. Williams was said to have promised state witnesses a coat of tar and feathers if they told and was held to be the cause of the chief colored witnesses against Snowden being forced to leave Annapolis. Both Lawyer Brady and Lawyer Gus Grayson made quiet, forceful appeals for Snowden's new trial. The latter emphasized especially that Mary Perkins, the main witness against Snowden did not say that she knew anything about the case for five days after 41 happened. When the crime could be fastened on no one, and rewards of $590 were offered for information as to the murderer, then Mary Perkins came forward and that she had seen Snowden leaving the house on the day of the murder. It was her testimony chiefly that convicted Snowden Grayson contended that the face should be taken into account in accepting her testimony. Annapolis white newspaper, The Evening Capital, commenting on the fact that a number of colored people from outside the city might come to hear the trial said that visitors in large numbers "are not expected or wanted, the, of, course there is no reason why interested persons should not come." THE CHURCH OF ST. MARY'S Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church Sharp Street Memorial Methodist Episcopal Church, corner Dolphin and Etting streets, of which Rev. Dr. M. J. Naylor is the pastor, is not only the wealthiest colored church in the city but it is also the oldest incorporated church in Baltimore. For the celebration of the 20th anniversary in their present church building, a handsome souvenir program has been written on with fine illustrations from the present and past life of the church. One of the pictures shows the old Sharp Street Church founded in 1802 on the corner of Sharp and Lombard streets. This building was remodeled in 1860 and in 1893 sold to white people for business purposes, while the congregation moved to its present home. Before 1802, the colored membership of Sharp Street worshipped in the gallery of the Lovely Lane Chapel, white, on Redwood street, and numbered one-third of the denomination and in addition to the records. According to the church records, thirteen of these members were WHY NOT "NIGGER" TOO Washington, D.C. Dec. 10, 1907 sent out today that the Bureau of Education has sent out a suggested form of pledge to school children requesting them to refrain from using such nicknames as "shenoy," "wop," "Dago," "Greaser," etc., because these names tended to promote cleavage between American born and American foreign born immigrants. Demographic response from many colored persons. - Several letters have been sent to the Bureau requesting that the nickname "miger" be included on the list. KILLED IN ACTION Theodore White of the old 1st Separate Company now the 372 Infantry has been reported killed in action on September 26 during the Chateau-Thierry drive. In a letter received from Corp. White by his mother on November 15 he said that he was well and in a state of happiness. Corporal White is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles A. White, of 604 Lanvale St. St. A. 15 years old and has been service 16 months having in the 1st Separate Company before they left for Amiston, Alabama last August one year ago. White's parents received the teiogram from the War Department last week. Samuel H. Hicks, 351st F. A. Battery C. Serving in France. African, in search of liberty, and between 1820 and 1835, 72 gained their freedom by escaping to Canada. The dark side of the records is shown by the fact that 51 members were sold out of the State into Virginia, Georgia and Alabama. The Washington Annual Conference between 1820 and 1835, 72 gained their Carroll is the only surviving member of the first annual conference of 1864. SHARP ST. MOTHER OF BETHEL. In the hall in the rear of old Bethlegh Church many of the early leaders of the race receive the training, especially under Daniel Coker, under whose deship, a number of women withdrew and founded Bethlegh A. M. E. Church. Coker became the first master of Bethlegh in 1811. Many persons have commented on the fact that Sharp Street is the parent of Bethlegh and since 1811 Bethlegh has become the mother of seventeen younger churches. PRESENT FASTON'S GOOD WORK A large part of the present prosperity of the church is due to the persevering efficiency of the pastor Dr. COLONEL HAYWARD PAAISES NEGRO TROOPS Writing to the governor of New York Col. Hayward commends the bravery of the old Fifteenth New York Infantry in the fierce fighting which marked the opening of the great offensive in the Argonne-Verdun Sector in the closing days, of last September. Every french device known to the Germans were used against the Negro troops. Gass, shrapnel, high explosives, machine guns and aerial munitions were used by the Americans. For five days and twelve nights the regiment was under constant fire often in scant rations or none, but in the face of it all they pushed ahead nine or ten miles. We finally on the fourth day took the height overlooking the marvelous plain and valley and I saw what I am sure has never been given to man to see before. I saw four divisions of our troops attack abreast (twelve regiments). The two artillery forces, ours and Boche, firing from behind, laid down terrible barrages on each Corp. Ed.

Naylor, who inaugurated the "new financial system," in the church, codified the accounts of the 4000 lot holders in the church cemetery and installed its business in the Druid Hill Ave. Office; introduced the "Queen's Rally" in Baltimore, by means of which over $100,000 have been raised by various organizations. He paid in round numbers, $27,000 on the debt of the church which was raised during the interest, $7,500 of which was raised for all bevolent purposes, $13,955; under whom also, the "Day Boys," "Camp Fire Girls" and "Methodist Brotherhood" were organized. During the week pastors from all the denominations of the city with their choirs and congregations took part in services at the church beginning has Sunday night.

McADOO NOT ADVISED New York, Dec. 6.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its secretary John R. Shillady, makes public a telegram from Director General of Railroads McAdoo in reply to the Association's protest to him against Regional Director of Northwestern Railroads R. H. Ashton's recent order in which the Director instructed railroad management of his district not to extend the employment of Negro firemen, hostlers, switchmen and brakemen beyond, the practice heretofore existing and cautioned them against employing Negroes for this class of service not heretofore open to them not to take the places of white men. Mr McAdoo said: "The program of the 29th was received while I was on an inspection trip of the railroads. I was not aware of the order to which you refer, but I am looking into the matter and will advise you later." A. B. 10,000 NOW IN DETROIT SHOPS 10,000 NOW IN DETROIT SHOPS Dr. Haynes Tells American Academy of Results of War Upon Negro Labor Conditions. New York, December 10—Together with William H. Taft, Charles M. Schiwab, Felix Frankfurter, assistant Labor Administrator; William Wilson, Secretary of Labor, and others, Dr. George E. Haynes, Director of Negro Economics Department of Labor, was one of the speakers at the sessions of the Academy of Political Science, which met at Hotel Astor yesterday. Speaking of the effects of the war upon colored labor, Dr. Haynes said: upon coffered roof. The effect of the war upon Negroes has been to open up a wider range of occupations, in the North especially. For instance, in Detroit, in 1914, there were probably not a thousand Negroes in all the factories in that great automobile centre. The latest report from Detroit about two months ago stated that probably sixteen or seventeen thousand are now engaged in the industries of that city. COLORED MEN WANT MORT PAY "During the past two years, the speaker has visited many States both North and South and has taken special pains to talk with all classes of Negro workers in both industry and agriculture. This canvas of opinion has been among Negroes working on railroads, in mines, in factories; hotel porters, hackmen, farmers, plantation tenants, farm hands, tradesmen, business men, ministers, doctors lawyers and housewives. The main object of such a canvas has been to learn from these people, what constitutes the essential things which the great majority of them consider should have in common of this part in it. First, they desire a fair chance to secure work and to hold it on the same conditions and with the same pay as other workers. Secondly, there is a widespread desire for education of all kinds. UNITED AGAINST J. C. In the third place, there is a united desire for the removal of race discrimination in public courts and in public conveyances, and provision in city and country for the same facilities of community improvement for them as for other folks. "The fourth thing so generally desired by Negro workers can be, probably be best expressed in the words of an unlettered Negro tenant farmer in an southern state, who said to a prominent business man presiding over a meeting: "and, sir, we want to help say who governs us." As soon as this sentence was uttered the Negro party of the audience received it in sounding applause. This same sentiment is expressed in country and city where one is able to find out what they really think. In a word, they have a deep consciousness of government by the consent of the governed; they are asking that they may be taken into all public affairs of the commonwealth and of the nation where their interests are involved. 351st MAY BE ON WAY HOME Washington, Dec. 11.—The 351st Field Artillery may be actually embarked and already on its way home, according to an announcement by General March during the week. The total list of men on the water and expected to land some American port within the next two weeks, amounts to 854 officers and 17,353 men. Among the distinguished list for early arrival are the 349th, 350th and 351st Field Artillery. This last named regiment has a large number of local men and men from the District of Columbia. According to the law, the men raised in the National Army must be discharged four months after the declaration of peace. This applies to all men who enlisted voluntarily in the National Army or regular army. That is, that the whole 92nd Division was among the units listed by General Pershing for return to the United States before next fall. WOUNDED IN ACTION Word has been received by the wife of Private Harry Whittington that he has been wounded in action. The degree he wounds has not been determined. Private Whittington enlisted with the IJM Separate Company June 6, 1917 for a period of six years. When he retired, Private Whittington resided at 559 Orchard St. YOUNG BURGLARS CAUGHT William Parker age 10, William Robinson age 10, Leroy-Jenkins age 9 were committed to the Juvenile Court last Monday on the four following charges; breaking into and entering the store of Ida Brodsby, 1400 Drudl Hill 'Ave. and stealing cigarettes, meats, and money to the value of $10.25; entered the store of Jacob Marks, 551 Mosher St, nothing was taken; stealing drugs from Dr. Louis P. Hamburger to the value of $4.50; stealing instruments from Dr. Segman Pauste to the value of $1.50. PRICE 5 CENTS HOME BOYS TO GET THE GLAD HAND Local Committee Preparing to Have Big Time When the Boys Come Marching Home,—Governor Names Committee to Help Things Along. A committee of local citizens gathered at the War Camp Community Club, on Orchard street, recently, and set in motion extensive plans to welcome the returning soldiers from France. It is not definitely known when the boys will come marching home so that local folk are not allowing themselves to be caught unawares: without having begun their preparations. The Governor has appointed a committee of citizens to make arrangements for the welcoming of soldiers, but since he appointed no colored persons on the committee, colored people felt that it was up to them to form their own committee and go on with their arrangements. News received in the city this week that some of the regiments are actively embarked and are on their homes. In time for the Christmas celebration gave the preparations an added impetus, and there was a bit of talk about getting the city to loan one of the armories for the occasion, the employment of several bands and arrangements for a street parade and review stand. Even though Uncle. Sam does take the matter in hand and holds a big review in Washington like he did after the Civil War, in which all the returning troops will march down Pennsylvania avenue Washington, and on past the White House, the local committee plans to give homecoming soldiers, the time of their young lives when they reach Baltimore. Last week Governor Harrington announced the committees to arrange for the reception of white soldiers. Nesterday he held a reception for arrangements for the reception of colored troops.

S. SMITH. Some part of the southern Baptists, the Boston Equal Rights League, and the Universal Negro Improvement Associa- tion have under way movements to send delegates to Versailles’ and have actually gotten people to contribute for this purpose. ‘These organizations are making the mistake of thinking that the Peace Conference is a convention where anybody who represents several thousand or a million people will be wel- vere to a seat and a voice in the proceedings. ‘Twenty-four nations those who have fought against Germany,and in addition ‘hustria, Turkey and Bulgaria, will send representatives to the Peace Conference. These and these only, excluding even neu- trals, will settle the conditions of world adjustment. ‘to'be perfectly frank would mean to admit, that the small- ex cirele of England, France, Italy and the United’ States will constitute the “big four” nations, who will agree in private to certain fundamental points, and then put them thru the larger meeting of the nations. Tach one of the nations except the United States has made public its demands of certain rewards for sacrifices made dur- ing the war. France and Italy want territory, England wants German trade and dominance of the seas, ete. ' These nations are going to be too busy grabbing the things they want to do much else at the conference. Each wants the support of the United States, none of them will venture to offend this coun- try by bringing up our race question. ‘The United States will not of itself bring the question up for the simple fact that it thinks itself able to settle its own problems, There is only one way for American Negroes to get to the Peace tabfé and that is thru Washington. Woodrow Wilson will represent us at the Conference, however poor a represen- tative he has been in the past. MOTON OFF TO FRANCE., WHY?: A special dispatch to the Afro-American from Tuskegee states that Dr. Moton, head of Tuskegee Institute is on an ur- gent mission to France at the request of President Wilson and Secretary of War Baker. ; Dr. Moton is to visit every centre where colored troops are located, speak to them and urge them “in every way to observe the good name they have won on the battlefields and in the service of France that they might not furnish the slightest cause for unfavorable comment or adverse criticism before they, return to America.” “For ways that are dark, and for tricks that are vain’ the Wilson administration is peculiar. The announcement leads the public to believe that colored soldiers are engaging in ex- cesses, and need the admonition of men like Dr. Moton. It the administration thinks this, it must be becoming uneasy be- cause the French people are getting along so well with colored troops. ‘The experience of the war has been that the French girls are just as anxious to have colored troopers make love to them as white troopers. Even before the war,it was never an unusual sight to see a French giri sitting in-a'tram car with the arm of her black escort around her.’ That is the way they do things in France, and if the Administration is uneasy over this, sending Dr. Moton won't help much. On the other hand if it is simply the desire of the advisors of the War Department to give Dr. Moton a little pleasure jaunt to the battlefields of the war at the government’s expense, it is perfectly alright, but we suggest then that the language of ‘the Tuskegee statement is unnecessarily alarming.

FRIDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1918 FAMILY SKELETONS. The “Beginnings of Miscegenation of Whites and Blacks in this Country,” is the title of the introductory article in the current issue of the Journal of Negro History, edited by Dr. Carter G. Woodson at Washington. As a historian, Dr. Wood son’s contributions, in two recent volumes, and in the Journal that he edits quarterly, have brought and merited country wide attention. The best part about the things that he writes from time to time is that the reader can be absolutely certain that the truth about the Negro’s side will be told absolutely, and that nothing will be omitted for fear of hurting somebody's feel- ings. Only a trained historian and a colored man can do these two things. . 7 “In Maryland,” says Dr. Woodson, “intermingling of the races began when the State was only a colony. A law was passed in this State in 1661 forbidding free white women from marrying colored men and added this penalty: ‘That whatso- ever free-born woman shall intermarry with any slave ..... shall serve the master of such slave during the life of her husband; and that all the issues of such free born women, so married, shall be slaves as their fathers were.’” ‘This law did not stop miscegenation as the legislature thought it would. Many large planters married white women servants to Negroes in order to transform Negroes and their offspring into slaves. To stop this practice also, Dr. Wood- son refers to the law of 1681, setting at liberty any white woman so married by her master and placing a fine upon’ the master or mistress joining such persons in marriage, The effect of this law was merely to prevent masters from prostituting white women to an economic purpose. It did not prevent the miscegenation of the two races. Masters and the colony, says Dr. Woodson, »ecame so burdened with the care of illigitimate mulatto children, that laws were pass- ed in 1715 and 1717 reducing to servitude for seven years any white woman or white man who cohabited with colored per- sons. ‘One thing especially will be noted, about these three laws mentioned :—they were made necessary because the free white people were thrusting-intermarriage upon the colored people and not viea versa. It was the habit and custom, not only in Maryland, but all over the country for whites to marry their own slaves. Dr. ‘Woodson gives some striking instances of this. Benjamin Banneker was the son of a white woman who married her own slave. Benjamin Franklin in his books on his own life, made no secret of his associations with colored women. Years ago, the Cleveland American, a white news- paper, had the following to say of Thomas Jefferson. "We are ereditably informed that a natural son of Taomas Jeffer- son by the celebrated ‘Black Sal’, a person of no iittle renown in the politics of 1800,-is now living in the central county of Ohio.” The daughter of President Tyler ran away with the “man of her choice in order that she might be married to him” but for this they must reach foreign soil.” The man of her choice was black and a slave. JT WAS ALRIGHT FOR PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES TO MARRY COLORED WOMEN BUT ALL WRONG FOR _ POLORED MEN TO MARRY THE ,DAUGHTERS OF SUCH PRESIDENTS. 'A sister of President Madison once said to Reverend Geo. Bourne, Presbyterian minister in Virginia: “We southern la- dies are complimented with the name of wives, but we are only the mistresses of seraglios.” oR De. Woodson adds this final chapter: “There are now in Washington Negroes who call themselves the descendants of two Virginians who attained the Presidency of the United States.” Such were the beginnings of race intermixture in this country and the result of it all is seen in the last Federal eensys, which shows that one-fifth of all the colored people havé a noticeable amount of white blood. —« For such white folk, who hold up their hands in holy hor- ror at,the occasional instances of rape that come to light chief- ly in the south, we quote Dr. Woodson’s reference to Goodell’s SLAVE CODE, page 111, where a well authenticated account oceurs of a respectable Christian lady who kept “a handsome mulatto female for the use of her genteel son, as a method of deterring him, as she said, from indiscriminate and vulgar indulgences.” ; . = WILSON IS DOING IT.

Church, opened last Sunday very auspiciously, for the season 1918-19, with Miss Frances Edmonia Chambers, the youthful organist of F. Paul M. E. Church, and Miss M. H. Demby, of Boston, soprano, as solista. A very large and appreciative audience greeted the artists. Miss Chambers presented a well arranged program in an artistic manner. She seems to be richly endowed with much of the gift that is necessary for first-class organ playing. In the opening number "Fanfare" by Jacques Lemmens, she showed a keen appreciation of organ tone values and later in Borowski's Sonata, a rare knowledge of registration was displayed. The Kinder number, while of itself somewhat hackneyed in a form and development, was given a delightful reading. All in the organ playing, such as when the music lovers, assembled in Mother Bath on Sunday, is heard none too frequently and management cannot be too highly commended for its efforts, for they are truly adrustic in spirit; first for the opportunity given to the music lovers of the community to hear the best music, and second, the golden opportunity to receive a hearing under favorable circumstances. Miss Demby, the soprano soloist, was not heard to an advantage. In the recitative which precedes the aria "Sing ye Praise," from Mendelssohn's "Song of Praise," she was slightly off the pitch. In the second number, however, "Show Thy Merey Lord," by Gustav Merkel, she thrilled the audience. The composition itself, conceived in a truly religious vein, was sung by Miss Demby with a reverent fervor and a musical understanding that was indeed uplifting. W.L.W.

Sloan's Instrumental Work Period GROW LONG STRAIGHT HAIR You Need a Real Scalp Food There are no many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are not making more than normal pressure. 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's Quinlode 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. Quinado is the invention of an export 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 Quinado it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasap, Quinasap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequalled by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but inste of getting Seeby's Quinado and Seeby's Quinasap, asking for them by the full name. Price is 28 cents each. If your drugstress 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.

Let the Poro System TAKE CARE OF YOU. FRIDAY, DEC. 13, 1918 PORO COLEGE A BIG ENTERPRISE Continued from Page 1 ing, and 2500 agents selling and demonstrating the Pure products throughout the country. That the honesty of the employees cannot be questioned is demonstrated that in the handling of invoices or dollars worth or stamps during the year not as much as a one-gam stamp was not, or misd. The exercises during the week were attended by some of the most prominent men and women in the country, especially was this noted by the large number of people exercising were of the personal character, but all of this and that can be said of the bounding of a father importance when it is known that the management, or this great institution is instilling into its employees honesty, efficiency and reliability. A mid minute later a day later many certifications has assertion, yet is only can say that there is a minimum of time by the employees of this excellent institution. Not only are the qualifications noted above instilled into the hearts and minds of the employees, but their other interests, trained after, must be maintained and regular attendant upon some church. Religious services are held daily. Their physical needs are looked after and a gymnasium is provided; intellectually they are looked after by lectures, one work and other means, and so everything is one place of each person enriched in its establishment. We could give a synopsis of the exercises of the week, the many men and women of nation wide reputation who took part in the exercises, the things they said and the songs they sank, and the movies that Mature, but I am of the impression that something of the people themselves who have owed this great business, which has produced this great building the most of its kind in the United States, and possess the only one of its kind in the world we do better. I groups were bestowed with a book plan on one evening during the dedication services. The superintendent of the orphan assembling and members of the management came and presented Mr. and Mrs. Mature with a handsome basket of flowers. It was noted that while the basket was hammered decorated with ribbons, etc., the flowers were not It was a representation of the institution itself, in making the presentation speech, the superintendent stated that during the past winter, when had been an especially hard one for the institution, not at any time was there sattering that sort, and Mrs. Malone had seen to it that when corn was needed corn was fortunemaking, and so with other things, so that the child went hungry or cold, the cause caused by Mrs. Malone and Mrs. Malone, in repressing Mrs. Malone stated that there was a warm spot in the hearts of Mrs. Sarlone and himself for the orphans because both of them, had been left orphans at two years. And in relating their very struggles he was overseeing with enmotion, wishing the orphan management that while he and Mrs. Malone had a dollar the orphans would be welcome to a part of it. He stated that he and his wife told that they were only scavenged of the money boony, and that they gave only seriously they felt they owed it to Him that they gave us literally. With this spirit behind any movement it must surely be a success. Among those present and taking part in the exercises, were: Bishop L. J. Coppin, D. D., of Philadelphia; Rev. S. Kimpson Brooks, D.

Orrie Thomas, wife of Wm. G. Johnson, departed this life, December 6, 1945, leaving a husband, two children, Gortrade and Knoen, one grand-niece and a son-in-law. She was born in Goulston, N. J. a town deriving its name from her family of Couens and Pierres, who settled in a northern part of Goulston and parry in Bridgeton townships more than two hundred years ago. An account of her life and history is the book of Eugene Diner, who wrote the history of Cumberland Co., of New Jersey in 1865. Like the Samaritans, they married and intermarried to a large degree among themselves. These people have always and a peculiar genius for industry, education and learning good children which is harried in their family genealogy furthermore, they were great teachers, classmates, and friends who were widely known as seen in no section or locally have men and women graced humanity and imnated the world for good by their peculiar genius than the descendants of Gouldown. Such men as Bispong Benjamin F. Lee, of the A. M. L. Churchen, who at one time was president of Wilberforce University, An- There has been a long line of teachers among them. Many of them are prominent today in the public schools of New Jersey and elsewhere, and they have methodized their teaching and Sarah Anne Gould, the latter being a school teacher. Her groundfather and father were the first appointed superintendents of the old Goulthout Church. Mrs. Thomas' natural ability and aptitude for Sunday School work is hereditary. Her historian says "To look back for two centuries on the name which found this community and be able to say in general terms that it is a name unimproved in the court animals of this county by crimes or by drunkard or by paparer is a burglar, in which any community that joins in with it may be in the order of wealth." In such a family Mrs. Olivia Thomas was born 58 years ago. November 29 last. It was but natural that she should have such womanly views and natural instinct for training little children for the highest life, who in herself possessed the highest qualities for mechness, for purity, for righteousness and for the noble best Christian character, which was so beautifully certified in the richest years of life in this church and Sunday. School which she loved and gave her life, a sacrifice. Being removed from our ranks by death leaves a vacancy that will not be easily filled. —From the Session of Grace Presbyterian Church.

He told me things about my cancer touched up other physicians and we touched up. He treated me and made practically a new man out of me. I am now a street car conductor. Since then, he has cured my friend, four-year-old son. Hurry who had convulsions, and could scurry stand or walk. The child now has no spasms and is running.
