With Isaiah Fountain convicted of criminal assault, and lodged for safe keeping in the Baltimore City Jail awaiting the date of execution to be set by Governor Hirrington, the case enters its second phase. An appeal to the Maryland Court of Appeals must be made within thirty days. Policemen, officials and newspaper men who have interviewed the prisoner with his apparent availances of innocence, and with the strong case that he put up in court. A perusal of the testimony given at the trial shows that Fountain is still alive. A complete day of the crime was committed. Up to that time he was in Easton and officers admit that he would not have stayed in town that long if he had planned the crime several days ahead of it, that the girl left school at 3:30. Officials also point out that Fountain did not leave his home for Camden, N. J., until the next day and that he had photographed of his handed trip as well as several perons in Easton. Of the trial itself, opinion is general that Fountain, whether innocent or guilty, did not have a ghost of a show. Had the jury failed to bring in a witness, Fountain would have suffered violence from the mob that threatened the prisoner at every turn. One of the puzzling questions that sober folk are asking everywhere is, why did not Mr. O'Dunne Fountain's counsel, ask for change of vowel in the sentence? Baltimore City or some other city where feeling would not prejudice the minds of the jury. It is pointed out that Mr. O'Dunne had only to request that the case he moved because of the mol spirit shown and the Judge would have been legally bound to grant it APPEAL TO To a reporter of the Afro-American Mr. O'Dunne announced his intention to take a appeal to a higher court.

Louisville Editor Not Satisfied with Reply of National Republican Committee. —Ohio Republicans Failure to Pass Equal Rights Bill Criticised. Louisville. Ky., April 29—Considerable attention has been directed to the correspondence between Editor William Warley of the Louisville News and Chairman Will H. Hays of the National Re-committee. In his letter, Mr. Warley calls attention to the fact that the colored people of the country are becoming quite concerned about reports that the party and Mr. Hays are "willing to surrender their manpower in the South." To the letter Mr. Hays sent a lengthy reply in which he stated that, "It appears to me that your contemporaries either by accident or design have misinterpreted the matter if they have led me to a black man on a Jona on the Republican ship. Mr. Hays then speaks of endosing a copy of an address he delivered in North Carolina, and resolutions adopted by the National Republican Committee in January, with reference to conditions in New Jersey. These resolutions said in part: "That this committee is unalterably pledged to the principle that the Negroes of America, as citizens, should not be denied the administration of the Federal and State laws, and that as an organization this committee resolves" and renews its pledge to demand absolute justice everywhere for the Colored race." replied editorially. "We hate to be the one to take the joy out of life, but how can we help?" said the committee's talk with the Ohio Republican Legislators' action. "Truly this is a time when the Black Man must begin to live and think Black Man. White man, as such are at the same level as the question: are broad to accord to every man regardless of race, color, or previous condition, the basic rights they demand for themselves is true But that a grown man possesses the hostile vanity of "looking down" on somebody, is equally true. Our cravings for manhood rights, for the respect of our fellow-men and for equity can only satisfied through us—byour resistance and by our united, continual warfare for these things. DISQUALIFIED BY'NATURE A Board of Officers appointed by paragraph 9, Special Orders No. 34, Headquarters, Camp Meade, Maryland, February 6, 1919, to investigate and make recommendations relative to the fitness of a colored officer, who had been in service overseas, for admission into the Regular Army made the following recommendations: "The Board, therefore, recommends that he be not examined for appointment in the Regular Army. "Reason—Inqualified by reason of qualities inherent in the Neuro race. An opinion of the Board based on the testimony of five white officers serving with the 368th Infantry. Negroes are deficient in moral fibre and force of character rendering them unfit as officers and leaders of men." Bishop C. S. Smith, chairman of the condition on after war problems at the A. J. E. Church wrote the following to the Secretary of War, in part: "In the name of the Neuro-vouth who so recently made the supreme sacrifice that the world might be made safe for Democracy in the name of our heroic dead who fell in the snock of battle alone—the trail of the Nation's bloody combats from Runker Hill to Corrizi, we challenge the statement that Negroes "by reason of qualities inherent in the Neuro-race" are rendered unfit as officers and leaders of men."

EXTRA ALLEGED WHITE RAPIST GOES FREE By Telegram Annapolis, Md., May 1—Strangely enough the Grand Jury for the April term returned thirty-three presentments, and Strong, the most important, made of the case of Lee Calder, white, who was arrested and released on ball charged with criminally hashtag-killing. The case is colored girl employed in his household. This means that Calder goes free. A. T. Brady, who defended Snowden sometime ago has charge of Calder's case. One of the reasons why the Grand Jury did not act he said was that the case was not a case that did not report the case until one week after it had happened. States Attorney Green is such to have argued for the State. As a result of the case, the State-assulting Beatrice Booth, a child under thirteen, was not only refused bail but must face trial in the next session for the city court. While the trial was held, a large number of cases are colored, meanwhile Calder, a white man, who was charged with criminally assaulting a colored child, was not only refused bail but was invited to his case whatever. It looks like the people of this state colored man comments it was not a rape except when some person of a white woman. Compare the Fountain case with the Calder case, and a fool could see how much calder could be called.

Associated Negro Press Chicago, May 1. —More than 5,000 people attended Conklin Continental deliver his address at the Auditorium in the "Loop District" on the subject: "From State Street to St. Mieliel." He said that the report that the Negro soldiers are rapists, had been proven false by the official statement of the Gen. George B. Bar and according to Mr. Simmons, the reason that the race soldiers who fought under the French came home decorated with crosses, and so many of the 92nd Division who displayed equal valor came home without decorate himself, bringing the French into the war to fight, and not to draw the color line." He further declared that much of the prejudice against our soldiers was due to the playing of small politics by Southern Democrats.

The Doctor addressed nearly four hundred persons at Bethel Church last week. According to Dr. DuBois France has six deputies in the Chamber of Deputies, who are Africans, and Portugal has 12 Negro members of Parliament.

In the course of his remarks Dr. DuBois detailed his own effort in getting to Europe and getting to Conference started. Especially he said, were the objections of the United States Government, which was fearful that its treatment of colored citizens in this country would influence at the Peace Conference the American representatives in Paris. When they found that the only statement in the Resolutions of the Pan-African Congress that applied to them was in effect: "When Nations civilized, they must be treated as conquerors and when any nation does not so treat them, it then becomes of international concern."

There will be the string section, violins, violas, violin cellos, and double bass violins; a wood-wind section with clarionets, flutes, oboes, basson; a brass section with trumpets, French horns, trombones; the percussion instruments, drums; symphonies and This organization, which is to be incorporated, is to be a long-felt need and should receive the support and cooperation of the people of Baltimore.

TICKETS As a member of the State Central Committee I appeal to you as Republicans and Independent voters of the 17th Ward to allow nothing to prevent you from voting on next Tuesday muorning, May 6th, 1919, before you go to your place of business; for in my judgment this is the most important election held in Baltimore for twenty-five years and the opportunity to win our entire ticket is gretaer today than we have ever known. Next Tuesday, if every man votes, we will change Baltimore from Democrat to Republican. Remember the polls open at 6 A. M. and close at 5 P. M. and the wo strongly urge that you vote at 6 o'clock in the morning as something might prevent you from getting back before 5 p. m., and the loss of your vote might mean the loss of the Republican Party.

The resolution further stipulates the representation desired as "one man and one woman." Going further in a sort of ultimatum, the resolution serves notice on the Party that it expects "an equal division of the fruits of a successful election, and to this end pledges cooperation." We remarked in these columns sometime ago that there is an undercurrent of feeling in many parts of the country that so far as the Negro is concerned the Republican Party is on trial for its life. Should it refuse representation in proper ratio to the colored voter, should it continue to gobble up all the gratitudes connected with political victory and forge its colored constituents from one election to another, the "Grand Old Party" will wake up one day to find a steady stream of colored folks wending their way into the ranks of the Socialists, or else as in North Carolina, putting up an independent ticket of their own. For nearly a century, colored people believed with Frederick Douglass, that the "Republican party is the deck, and all outside is the sea." If Douglass were alive today, he would be among the first to deprecate the blind obedience to any attachment that loses its usefulness. The same Douglass, who so aptly expressed his love for the Republican party, also said: "PARTIES WERE MADE FOR MEN, NOT MEN FOR PARTIES." Will the Republican party bestir itself, or will it continue to offend its most loyal and faithful constituency?

Of the American troops was Jude would have been a thrust into human resistance.

At Camp Upton just out, someone brought LeConte to the others a distinguished medal given by the United States optional valor. No ceremony was presented, nor was there any to state why the medal was seeds, samples, and bullet sent one of its heroes a medal, it was not anybody's fault or Commanding Officer's improve this beyond a doubt. He hat the Government might press medals, rather than fling them. Back in the October 17 to November 11th offensive in the Marbachie sector in France, just before the armistice was signed, the hardest fighting took place in which the 22nd Division engaged. One of the objectives of the American troops was Metz, and its capture would have been a thrust into the vitals of the German resistance. During the hottest part of this thirty-eight day battle, word came to the headquarters that the telephone lines connecting the 349th Field Artillery with the front line infantry were cut. Five men volunteered to repair the break, and under the concentrated fire of machine guns, shells and gas performed the job. One of the boys, Sergent Calvin Le-Compte, 1231 Orleans street is a Baltimore ad, and former student at Howard University. The others were Gus Wilkerson, Otis Franklin, Wm. Patterson, and Alfred Patterson, all of Atlantic City, N. J. All of the men were cited by their captain commanding for bravery, but here is the almost unbelievable part. At Camp Upton just before being mustered out, someone brought LeCompte, and presumably the others a distinguished service cross—the medal given by the United States Government for exceptional valor. No ceremony was attached to the presentation, nor was there any accompanying message to state why the medal was awarded. Just as it sends seeds, samples, and bulletin, this great country sent one of its heroes a medal for valor. Naturally it was not anybody's fault. War Department's or Commanding Officer's. Investigation would prove this beyond a doubt. However it does seem that the Government might present its heroes with medals, rather than fling them at them. DUBOIS A PROPHET of the results of Dr. W. E. B. the ocean to Europe is that it than ever before that the "econal." America used to think is between the lighter and dark United States constituted the preen America was.ance at the Peace Conference for racial equality and the determination in Palestine, when meet with revolt and insu One of the results of Dr. W. E. B. DuBois's trip across the ocean to Europe is that he sees more plainly than ever before that the "color line is international." America used to think that its own troubles between the lighter and darker peoples in these United States constituted the problem. How mistaken America was. A glance at the Peace Conference, with Japan asking for racial equality and the Jews demanding self determination in Palestine, while Egypt and India seethe with revolt and insurrection, these things in themselves indicate the world wide scope of the color line and color prejudices. Alto a man in middle life, Dr. DuBois, with some thing of the vision of the prophet, looks into the future and sees the nations lining up again for a second world war. On the one side, England, United States and Germany—the nations who believe in the divine right of the Anglo-Saxon—, and on the other side opposing will fight France, Portugal, Spain, South America, Asia and Africa, the nations who believe in racial equality. We do not know how soon Dr DuBois' re-alignment of the great powers is going to take place, and the prophet is wise enough to set the fullfilmen of his prophecy far enough in advance when all of the present hearers will long since have passed away. Darker peoples everywhere have no sense yet of the solidarity that must come before there can appear anything like united action. As long as they fight like Japan is fighting for the rights of the Japanese alone, rather than the principal of equal rights for darker peoples, just so long will the ultimate issue remain indisputably postponed. Cambridge and Annapolis have colored representatives in the City Council from wards where colored people are in the majority. The third preint in Easton, where colored voters predominate, is also looking around for councilmanic material, and the Miles River District in Talbot County has enough colored voters to elect their own representative to the House of Delegates, whenever they get ready. The challenge of each of these communities to Baltimore city is, make good in the city elections, and the state as a whole will follow the good example. The close of many of the county schools throughout the state beginning May the first brings to an end one of the most eventful school years in the history of the state. Action of the state legislature in fixing the minimum school term, and giving it a small increase to teachers, coupled with the unprecedented activity of the State Supervisor of colored schools and county as sistants gave an impetus to the whole cause of education that is bound to be felt in the years to come. This increased interest has been manifest during the year in the erection of school buildings, for which the state, the colored people themselves and the philanthropic Mr. Julius Rosenwald, the millionaire, have been generous contributors. The addition of state high schools in three towns, with the promise of more as fast as the communities can qualify, is another innovation, which for the first time gives public institutions for secondary education outside the city of Baltimore. Perhaps the most significant of all is the spirit of of the officials, teachers and parents behind these educational improvements. How hard they are working is evident in the fact that in Annapolis and in other communities proportionately more colored children are in school than white. Such a splendid year for the schools of the state is worth noting with a red mark. It is a step toward making Maryland a better place to live in. It represents a fact not a theory that Maryland is not satisfied to remain the 32nd state in point of interac- FRAELEIN OR IS IT FRAU. It seems to rule Gertrude Leimbach (note the German name) a correspondent of the EVENING SUN considerably that an audience in the Open Forum Sunday of last week applauded Dr. Owen Lovejoy, president of the National Child Labor Bureau, when he said that "the that an illiterate Negro far more dangerous than an educated one." Miss (or Freuein) Leimbach asks whether the same audience would have applauded just as enthusiastically the Late Booker T. Washington when he said in 1835 "No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem. It is at the bottom of life we must begin and not at the top. Nor should we permit our grievances to overshadow our opportunities. It is important and right that all privileges of the law be ours, but it is vastly more important that we be prepared for the exercise of that privilege." Freudine, or is it Frau Leimbach would argue from this that Booker Washington did not believe in Negro education and did not like Negro poets. To the contrary, his contribution to American life consists in the fact that he popularized industrial education, and that as a trustee of Howard University in Washington, he advocated from the college rostrum, higher education in all its phases. As for poets, Booker Washington knew and loved Paul Laurence Dunbar, the greatest Negro poet, and on many occasions showed that appreciation. For Frau Leimbach's benefit, it ought to be said that no individual, no group and no millions of another race have the right to set the limits to the ideals and aspirations of twelve millions of colored people. Like other oppressed smaller groups, the Negro is usking for an equal opportunity under the constitution, nothing more and assuredly nothing Perhaps the Philippines are not ready for independence, but they do know how to run their railroads under government control and earn more dividends than the same roads did under private ownership. Government ownership in the Islands is a model for United States. Street railways, gas and electric lighting, and coal supply are utilities either under direct or indirect control of the government. The only way to make the New Jersey law effective requiring certificate from reputable physician before a marriage license can be issued, is for surrounding states to pass similar legislation. According to a recent Government bulletin, two-thirds of American school children quit school on or before reaching the sixth grade. The result is poorly trained workers in all of the industries in the country. Awakened to its sense of responsibility from the near failure of industries for want of adequate help during the war, the Department of Labor suggests training departments in great industrial concerns, where, new employees, particularly poor and mediocre workers, can be helped toward broadening their skill and increasing their earning power. Such a scheme is not going to help the colored worker, for he is in the big industrial plants in comparatively small numbers. The only way to reach the prospective colored worker is in the schools, before he reaches the sixth grade. If some of the prejudice against a larger introduction of so-called trade and industrial work for Grammar grades can be overcome, there would be a greater possibility of keeping these two thirds of our children longer in the schools. PEOPLE'S FORUM A. N. P. Service ClassicMusic Something New Canned for Jazz 24th INFANTRY WAS TEERE In a letter to the Afro-American, Sergeant Rufus Graham, now with the 863 Rufus Companion Company, article in the AFRO-AMERICAN, which stated that the 24th Infantry did not get to France. Sergeant Graham says, the other men were to go as a unit, the men were detached one by one and sent to different raw recruits all over the war area. "In every new regiment, you can find the men who were formerly with Co. F. 24th Infantry stationed in New Mexico. SAMUELS HITS BACK To the Editor A. I faked a meeting, not being present, and not, having notice of the intention, I was excluded in company with Deacon Everett Mills, Brothers Wilmer Carter and E. Waddy and wife Mrs. Mary Murphy and Alice Jones from pastoring the Central Church. The charge against me was conduct unbecoming a Christian. The charge against the others was being in sympathy with and aiding me. The truth of the matter is that we wanted Preacher Blackwell to report in the church to collect the church and the public which was handled and spent by him as an individual. To prevent this report I was arrested, charged with collecting money throughout the country in the name of the Central Church for my personal use. There were also other internal accusations in which there is not the slightest degree of truth. Thinks Beauty "Ads" Have in Place in Weekly Newspaper. The editors of the Afro-American Sirs: Looking over a copy of your very commendable paper I was surprised to see how much space you devote to advertisements of hair products, cosmetics and various ad campaigns called skin bleaches. Now the thing that I cannot understand is how is it that the Negro who is inherently black with curly hair, actually I mean, and who of he has world knowledge of the various ad campaigns world believe he has, seems to be ashamed of his color and want to be as white as he can possibly bleach himself, and make his hair as straight as it was meant not to be. I cannot conceive of a Japanese man with curly hair as "bleach your black hair blond" or "bleach your brown skin white" they have too much race pride. Think of stooping to such public display of one's aversion to one's race as good as good to the white man, why prove to him that you enjoy his color? Do you really believe that a black man is in nothing inferior to the white man or do you believe you are inferior because of your black skin, then why do your race appear to be ashamed of it? Of course I am aware that it is only human to try to make oneself as comely as possible, but you cannot mean that one must be white, some of the most lovely women I have ever seen were in color anything but white. Again you may say that you are not interested one in advertising to help pay the expenses of publication, even so, isn't there some things, that is to a race struggling up as yours, is above the base consideration of the advertising among some peoples. And no race was ever true to itself and can never be so until it evens a pride of race that will arrest the attention of thoughtful men and show that people are people that have the courage of their contentions. As a well-wisher of your people I would advise you gentlemen to think it over, and do not forget that you are constantly under a microscope. A friend of your race. Baltimore, April 19, 1919. **GETTING HIM TOLD** A white customer came into one of the nicest establishments of our race. He sat at a table and asked for a bowl of chili. The proprietor replied: "Personally, I would be pleased to serve you, but my customer like a game sport and left with the box of chili in his hand."

Oostensily affected by the upstanding way in which the Afro-American has stood in all the battles of the civilization of the Negro, a party who signs himself "white man" sent to the office the following letter this week: "If you up your knacking of white people as you have of late, you will find your plan krecked some bright morning." Signed "A White Man." The post card has been turned over to the Postal Authorities in Washington for investigation. RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA Philadelphia. April 28. The efforts of 75 whites to push back 40 Negroes and enact George Graham from 2535 Pine street, where he had recently moved ended disastrously here today. The whites charged with bricks and smashed heads, doors and windows, Negroes retaliated and shot three, wounded four. The persons were arrested, when the police reserves stopped a fifteen minute battle. GENERAL PERSHING ADDRESSES TROOPS A. E. F. France, April 3 - The troops of the 217th Labor Battalion as well as a member of the American forces. Engineers and Labor troops were addressed by General Pershing, commander-in-chief of the American forces. He spoke for several minutes and complimented both the officers and men on the success of the war they were then of an early return. Copyrighted Press Service Sent From Chicago Office to More Than One Hundred Weeklies—Coolred Newpapers Share in War Prosperity. Associated Negro Press Service -Chicago, May 1.—The newspapers of the race are finally and forever on the map. With more than 400 publications of various kinds in the field, more than one hundred of the weekly newspapers have increased in business, prestige and influence by leaps and bounds in the last five years. So great has become the influence of the newspapers, that in certain sections of the South, there has been a determined, though unsuccessful effort to prevent the circulation of certain race newspapers that are spreading the gospel of justice, and equal opportunity. Circulation for more than a score of the newspapers has been doubled, trebled and in some instances quadrupled in four months. It is no event of importance happening at the present time than is not known from one end of the nation to the other in a week's time. This intercommunication has given the people of our group to unify in unity on many subjects that in former years required weeks and months to disseminate. Everywhere, editors are displaying the liveliness and most interesting news in the news to the people. Their increase in circulation has given them an increase in advertising, and an opportunity to raise rates, and hence it has at last reached the point where journalism has become a paying investment. The latest addition to the files of Negro Journalism is the Associated Negro Press, founded in 1901 on street. Chicago. This service which is modern in every respect, gathers news from every section of the country, and distributes in among more than 100 newspapers. The service is copyrighted. MAY BOLT PARTY IN OHIO STATE Columbus, O., May 1.—The Republicans of Ohio have gone on record, through the defeat of the Beaty Civil Rights Bill, as opposed to equal justice and equal opportunity. The Republican address of prejudice ever heard in a legislative assembly were uttered by white Republican members of the legislature, particularly from Cincinnati, which its display of prejudice certainly displeased city officials of the Ohio river. The Republican leaders of Ohio, according to the people who fought for the bill, will undoubtedly be made to remember the gratitudes insult and injustice, which they claim are a shameful deed in the state of Garcia McKinley, Grant and Taft, at this crisis in the world's history, in which Negro soldiers have taken such an important part, those from Ohio being high in the scale of hero recognition. The condition has served to cement men for action, we declare they will support honest Democrats in the next election, if any degree of equal justice is promised. One prominent citizen who worked hard for the passage of the bill said: "We are ashamed to look the people of the other states in the face now and lose all the respect they but will be given time, it will be seen whether we mean business." RIOT IN CHICAGO Chicago, Ill, May 1.—As the result of a riot occurred in this city one man is in the hospital in serious condition. The police are part of the city in the vicinity of recent bomb throwing. The disturbance started among white and colored boys and was taken up by the parents of the victims. Police reserves prevented the affair from ending seriously. SHOOTS JUDGE ON BENCH Lexington, Ky., May 1.—Three men were shot and several others were wounded as the result of a pistol battle in the police court room. The man who was arrested for loitering and when, taken before Judge Preston for trial believed that he was being unnecessarily persecuted. While he was being searched by police, he wounded several persons before they were able to make their escape. He fled from the court room and was captured in a barn, five miles away. He was shot by Judge Preston was shot in the cheek by Ingram as he approached the door of the burn. ELKTON Elkton, Md., April 28—State Supervisor Huffman, George B.

Colored Bands Touring the Country Preferred to Russian Symphony Orchestra. Associated Negro Press Chicago, May 1—"There's music in the air," and it has been placed there by the members of the race, their orchestras and bands, military, civilian and jazz. There are three aggregations, however, that are making history in the way of happy feeling, they are: the old Eighth Regiment band, Chicago; the old 15th Regiment band, New York, and the New York Synaptocopied orchestra. These are under direction of George J. Rescue and Will Marlon Clark, respectively. These organizations, of more than fifty men each, have been touring the country in recent months and "setting the wild bird on their entertainment. The white people have fallen in line and are hurrying everywhere for race music, instrumental and vocal.

Campbell, Forest Park, Md. who took an active interest in the Snowden case, is among those who have offered to give $50 towards the appeal.

The Afro-American will undertake to make public acknowledgment of and turn over all subscriptions forwarded to it by persons who think that Fountain has to have a fair chance for trial. CAN'T USE THE COLORED MAN Continued from Page 1 situation really is, is evidenced by the fact that they are making prejudiced appeal to the city voters by saying that the victory of the Republicans will put a few educated men in office, and that under merit system effect it will be eligible for positions, "where it is possible for them to remain indefinitely." The following from Attorney General Richie not only shows the "elven hoof" of a judicial officer, but puts in the true light the attitude of the Democratic party in the two-seventh of the voting population. Mr. Richie says: "Our objection to the Negro serving in city positions along with white men as clerks, watchmen, street cleaners, garbage drivers and laborers is really in the interest of the selfish because the fact is ... this causes friction and bad feeling." That Democrats would venture to make such a campaign argument so soon after the great war for democracy, Republicans say, is the surest sign that they see democracy as a threat to the less thoughtful white voters as a part of their dying struggles.

Afro Photo Service Many Local Physicians Have Headed Only Colored Hospital in Maryland—City and State Aid Never Adequate. Provident, Hospital and Free Dispensary was established June 15, 1894. The hospital, having obtained through the courts an Act of Incorporation, and is governed under its charter. The institution was opened in a small house on Orchard Street, the only means provided of Dispensors. After remaining in Orchard St. building nearly two years, it was purchased and performing some minor work and performing some minor and major operations. It was found the building known as 415 west Biddle Street, which was much larger, the building known as $110, 00 per year. A little later the property 415 west Biddle Street was purchased, and were were The hospital is intended to fulfill three purposes:—To be an institution where people should be treated of their own race. Secondly, that colored physicians may have an opportunity to develop themself, thereby become proficient in them. At the same time, no distinction is made in regard to color, sex, race, gender, and property; and thirdly, to establish a well organized training school for nurses where young hides of color may object to instructions pertaining to their calling. The institution was organized by a color-phased physician and laymen of the city of Baltimore for a further purpose of doing the work of a general hospital and free dispensary for a class of people often neglected and inefficiently treated, and is the only colored hospital in the State of Maryland. For a while the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City (1895) gave this hospital an appropriation of $1,799.12. The State appropriation was $1500.09. In 1899 the Mayor and City Council of Baltimore City gave this hospital $921.02. State appropriation $1,500.00. A year or more afterwards the appropriation from the Mayor and City Council was discontinued for some reason unknown to the present management. The State continued to give $1509.00 annually for a number of years. When the appropriation was increased to $2,000.00, a few years later, the appropriation was re-叫 to $1,500.00 from the State, but it was again increased to $2,000.00 for 1918 and 1919. In 1996, Dr. H. M. Hall was superintendent of the hospital; in 1999 Dr. W. T. Carr, Dr., was superintendent. In 1914-15 Dr. J. Grant Scott was superintendent. In January, 1916, the Board of Directors in despair, bored for someone to elect superintendent of the hospital and finally elected a young man, Dr. Harry E. Brown, as superintendent, at which time the hospital was in probably the worst condition in its existence. The State had not met its quarterly appropriations, which were due the institution and the hospital was in debt to the amount of $5,508.92. There were in hands of the treasurer less than $9.00. Mr. John W. Rich, who was president of the Board of Directors at that time, called a meeting of the Board and had the facts before it. Mr. H. M. Bullett, one of the real estate men of our city, who is a member of the Board, offered to put on a campaign to raise money so that the doors of this institution may not be closed. He was given consent to carry on the campaign. This campaign was held in March, 1916, at which time there were $1,550.11 received in cash payments and pledges of $3,018.11, making a total of $4,350.22. His efforts alone made it possible for the Board of Directors to satisfy some of their creditors. Only a few of the pledges, however, have been paid up. With the start given by Mr. Burke, the assistance of Dr. Harry F. Brown, the superintendent, started out to put the hospital bigger and the Brown entered into the work with a determination to make the hospital grow and the larger hospital for our people. The colored physicians became more and more important. The had dittah that the new superintendent must to standardize the institute and the staff. The staff were mittened were given better hospital service. The consequence has been that the staff had to accommodate or meet the demands those applying for admission. Winn H. Harris was the chief surgeon of the hospital and he performed many skillful operations. Haruth's health began t fall in late, but very few operations performed until 1955. There have been many years formed almost every day by the young intern in the work at the hospital. During the new superintendent's addition, the staff had to work and interact in the work at the hospital. During the new superintendent's addition, there were 12 or 13 new beds have been received and has continued to run. About 12 or 13 new beds have been In 1914 and 1915 the average number of patients in the hospital per day was 11. In 1915 and 1917 the average number of patients per day was 11. In 1918 and 1917 the average number of patients per day was 11. In 1918 the average number of patients per day was 19. In 1914, $1,700 October 1, 1915 to September 20, 1918 $1,159.00 was collected from pay- patients. From October 1, 1918 to Sept 1918 $1,159.00 was collected from pay- patients.

BROWN The energetic superintendent of Provident Hospital. to September 30, 1918, $3,999.65 was the previous year, at the end of the $4,999.65 more from pay patients than the previous year. At the end of the new impairment, every dollar was no impairment. Every dollar was paid to creators, and there was a bal- ance.

Nielsen, president of the Board of Directors, has been connected with the work of the organization years and most of the time has served as president. He is a mate of whom he has been a friend, and with no thought or retinuation for his nurturing service, has been a frequent guest on a week at the hospital, or in connection with the hospital, when he has been instructed of home with his family. Some years ago he suggested to the Board of Directors the put on the hospital, most of the Board was opposed to this idea, the reasons being given that the work of the Board is understaffed, but mainly in despair, he agreed to finance the building of the new number of citizens who were organized into the Citizens' Committee. Mr. Nielsen, the chairman of the Committee of Mr. Nielsen and said committee the hospital was given a new room and song interior improvements were Mr. H. Gratton Browne, who is now secretary and treasurer of the Board of Directors, will be on the board for a number of years. He is principal of one of the colored colleges in the city, and a layman he has worked strengely for the hospital and has spent many hours day and night at the hospital where he is doing his work. He must be to do well in all of his pay. During the last six or eight months when help was scarce, many an after-hours visit was made to the hospital helping to keep up the fires, putting in window panels and doing other repairs around the place where the hospital is located in the State of Maryland where the superintendent and other officers have not paid for their services. The directors are composed of the following: Messrs. W. Rich, H. Gratton Browne, J. Murphy, M. A. Hawkins, John H. Murphy, J. Harry Hale, Mr. Wilson, of Fairmount, M. Rev. John Holmes, and D. Grant Scott. MME. TALBERT PLEASES A concert de luxe featuring Mme. Florence Cole Talbert of Detroit with her accompanist Beatrice Lewis of Washington, and Harry T.

Dept. 1-A CONCERNING YOUR HAIR The Invention of AN EXPERT CHEMIST BY MAIL: 40c --- Dept. 1-A You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting: the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Sochy's Quimade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade. It is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, sausing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and slickly, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp, and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To: get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinade soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinade soap, withers very freely and is thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequivalled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinade soap, asking for them by their full names. Price is 25¢ each. If your drugist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler, for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct.
