THOUSANDS AND THOUSAND OF D SPORTING ELEMENT ON THE TESTER MAYORALTY CONT The most exciting and memorable contest for Mayor of Chicago, ends at the primaries this coming Tuesday evening, February 28 never in the history of this city have its citizens witnessed such a long bitter political fight, and many prominent business men, including bankers and other captains of industry have quite business and are hanging around in the headquarters of the various candidates discussing politics and if anyone differs with them as to the outcome of the contest they are at once insulted and branded as selling out, for money, to this that or the other candidate and things have come to such a pass that it is almost dangerous for a half way honest man to frequent the headquarters of the fighting or warring factions. One thing is certain and that is at the present time, the wisest Democratic and Republican politicians are still at sea as to the final result at the primaries. Andrew J. Graham, Carter H. Harrison, and Edward F. Dunne, are making the political fight of their lives to win out in the race, and they and many of their loud mouthed and noisy supporters are accusing each other of committing many wrongful deeds—at the same time claiming that the followers of some of the candidates are ready and willing to commit all kinds of crimes in order to carry their point for their candidate at the primaries next Tuesday. Even these three candidates themselves have become so hot in their collars, that they are refraining from discussing what they consider the most important issues in the contest and are spending much of their valuable time, in hurling personalities at each other, this is rather surprising when we remember that two of these candidates are lawyers, highly cultured and are supposed to represent THE PIANO RECITAL BY MISS HAZEL HARRISON. A large and appreciative audience filled into Music Hall, Fine Arts Building last Sunday afternoon for the purpose of listening to a piano Recital by Miss Hazel Harrison, the young Colored planiste. The hall was filled with musicians and music lovers of both races. That they came to hear was evidenced by the rapt attention paid during the rendition of the program and the enthusiastic applause that greeted the player at the end of each number. Miss Harrison displayed wonderful technique in her playing, her legato being well pronounced. The entire performance was noted for clarity and distinction of tone. Weber's "Perpetuum Mobile" was a good selection well rendered showing off feelness of fingers. Fantasie Orientale by Balakirew was perhaps the most taxing number on the program. It was enthusiastically received by the audience. At the close of the program, the audience was loath to leave their seats and clamored for an encore which the player was gracious enough to ren- HEW TO THE LINE: LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY the very highest element in the Democratic party. It can truthfully be said to the great, credit of Andrew J. Graham that he has dealt less in personalities than any of the candidates that are bitterly opposing and assailing him; and in his plain and common sense talks to the voters he has given expression to many sound and practical ideas in reference to conducting the affairs of this great city. As stated before in these columns it will make not the slightest difference to the great mass of the people residing in this city whether Carter H. Harrison, Andrew J. Graham, or Edward F. Dunne, wins the nomination for mayor next Tuesday for neither one of them has so much love for the dear people that they are in the game for their health and the majority of their supporters who are putting up the long green for their expenses and their workers and shouters have a selfish motive in view and are figuring on feathering their own nests. John Edward Scully who has a strong personal following in all sections of Chicago, John R. Thompson, the business man's candidate, Charles E. Merriam, John, F. Smulski and Tom Murray, who would be delighted to sell all the other candidates their friends and the public in general several new spring suits of clothes at ten to fifteen dollars a throw, are still hustling among the voters and it is claimed that the Republican vote at the primaries on Tuesday will be almost equally divided between Messrs. Scully, Thompson and Merriam. Thousands and thousands of dollars will be bet by the sporting element on the outcome of the hotly contested mayoralty contest and at the present writing the sports including James O'Leary, are betting that Andrew J. Graham will win out at the primaries and be the next mayor of Chicago. der. It is indeed a delight to listen to Miss Harrison as she is one of those pianists who makes you feel as though you would like to hear "just one more selection."—A. B. M." NO NEGRO NOTARIES, IS ORDER. Columbia, S. C., Feb. 22.—Governor Blease sent to the clerks of the county courts letters directing that no Negroes be commissioned as notories public. The action of the Governor of Old rotten S. C. in this respect is further evidence that Booker T. Washington is talking through his hat, when he wilfully states that "The whites in the South still entertain much love for the Negro and that they are greatly interested in his educational advancement—Editor. Former Alderman Frank W. Korneleki who was elected one of the members of the Board of Assessors of Cook County at the election last November after sizing the Mayoralty contest up from all sides, is positive that Andrew J. Graham will be the next Mayor of Chicago. CHICAGO, FEBRUARY 25, 1911. EX-ALDERMAN WILLIAM T. MAYPOLE. Warm friend of the Afro-American race, up-to-date business man, who will come back in the political game, and win out at the primaries on Tuesday, February 28th, and elected to the city council from the 14th ward. TUBERCULOSIS NOTES. was started in Hungary in 1894, an The Fight Against Consumption All Around the World. Associations for the prevention of tuberculosis have been formed in Cuba, Porto Rico and Trinidad. In Cuba there are over 40,000 deaths from tuberculosis every year, and the death rate from this disease is nearly three times as high as in the United States. In Porto Rico there are over 6,000 deaths every year out of 1,000,000 inhabitants. In Trinidad, the death rate from tuberculosis in Porto of Spain, the only place where figures are available, was 4.75 per 1000 in 1909, nearly three times the rate in New York City. Conditions in the other islands of the West Ladies, where no active campaign against tuberculosis has been undertaken, are even worse. The chief reason for this high mortality is found in the unsanitary, dark, and poorly ventilated houses of the natives of the islands. In Denmark, the campaign against tuberculosis has been carried on systematically since 1895. The reporting of living cases of tuberculosis in Denmark has been more successful than in almost any other country of the world. The death rate from pulmonary tuberculosis has fallen from 19.32 to 13.33 per 10,000 from 1895 to 1908. There is now one sanatorium for every 1244 inhabitants and every tuberculosis patient is assured of treatment at a cost within reach of anyone. The state pays three-fourths of the expense of treatment and the patient or his community the remaining fourth. The Italian government, on account of the number of tuberculosis cases among the Italian emigrants sent back from America, has appointed boards of examiners in the seaports, whose duty it is to report the arrival of tuberculous persons. There are then kept under observation in those places where they settle, to prevent further spread of the disease. The erection of new cannatoria and other tuberculosis institutions is being urged in Italy, and the number of beds for consumptives has been considerably increased in different places. Consumptives in Syria are treated today much in the same way as the lepers have been for the last 2000 years. Tuberculosis is a comparatively recent disease among the Arabs and Syrians, but so rapidly has it spread that the natives are in great fear of it. Consequently when a member of a family is known to have the disease, he is frequently cast out and compelled to die of exposure and want. A small hospital for consumptives has been opened at Beyroun under the direction of Dr. Mary P. Eddy. The Anti-Tuberculosis movement was started in Hungary in 1894, and in 1898 there were five institutions for the treatment of consumption. Today the campaign is encouraged and financed by the government, and over 200 different agencies are engaged in the fight. A permanent tuberculosis museum has been established at Budapest and a carefully conducted campaign of education is being carried on. According to a recent report by Dr. Conrad Biesalski, of Berlin, there are 75,000 cripples in the German Empire out of a population of 60,500,000. Over 50,000 of the cripples are in need of proper treatment. Dr. Biesalski states that in 15 per cent of the cripples examined their deformity was due to tuberculosis of the bones and joints, and that there were 10,000 such children in great need of medical treatment. He advocates the establishment of seaside sanatoria for this latter class of cripples. Japan is not lagging in the fight against tuberculosis. The Japan Health Association has over 20,00,000 local members and carries on a campaign of lectures in the cities and towns of the country. Tuberculosis is increasing in Japan, due chiefly, Prof. S. Kitasato of Tokyo says, to the rapid development of the factory system of introduction of modern methods and manners of civilization, and the increasing acuteness of the struggle for existence. When the International Congress on Tuberculosis meets at Rome next September, representatives of over thirty National and provincial associations organized to fight tuberculosis will be present. Among the associations which will be represented are The United States, Canada, Cuba, Trinidad, England, Wales, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, Germany, Belgium, Holland, France, Switzerland, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Bulgaria, Hungary, Austria, New Zealand, Japan, Cape Colony, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Newfoundland, Roumania, Uruguay and Venezuela. Tuberculosis is being fought even in Northern Korea, according to a recent report from Dr. Edwin M. Kent, received by the Methodist Board of Foreign Missions. Dr. Kent, who is a medical missionary stationed at Haiju, says that since he established a dispensary at the little hospital in that city, the people of the entire community are leaving their doors open at at night, for few of the houses have windows. The native attendants at the hospital are now accustomed to the regular instructions about fresh air that they call this sort of advice "reggy," and at a sign from the doctor will dispense volumes of it to the unsuspecting sufferer. Such has become the hospital's reputation, for fresh air advice that a native liv- "My Friend From Dixie" Opens Two Weeks Engagement The whole company of more than 40 persons, are composed of artists of the first class.

THE HAMPTON NORMAL AND AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTE, HAMPTON, VIRGINIA. Hampton Farmers' Conference. Hampton, Va., Feb. 24.—The annual two-day session of the Hampton Institute Farmers' Conference, including a remarkably fine exhibition of Negro farmers' home and field products, directed by Charles K. Graham and Roy R. Clark, of the Hampton Agricultural Department, brought together in most helpful relation some 500 white and Colored men, who are daily improving home, farm, school, and community life throughout the South. About two hundred dollars were distributed among the Negro adults and children for prize exhibits of corn and cereals, vegetables, canned and preserve fruits, domestic arts and science goods, and public school manual training. John B. Pierce, Wellville, Va., a Hampton graduate who has been most helpful to Virginia Negro farmers as a demonstration agent, delivered a forceful, Christian, common-sense plea for improving the country schools and homes. He urged the Hampton students mal- unusual sacrifice for their race. Hon. William H. Mann, the agricultural governor of Virginia, Dr. Seaman A. Knapp, Washington, D.C., the master spirit of the Farmers' Co-operative Demonstration Farm Work, Prof. William D. Hurd, the director of extension work at the Massachusetts Agricultural College, Amherst, Mass., Dr. Nelson A. Mayo, the well-known veterinarian of Blacksburg, Va., T. O. Sandy, Burkville, Va., state agent of the U. S. Department of Agriculture these spoke words of hope and wisdom. Members of the Hampton Agricultural Department delivered helpful and practical addresses on "Potato Raising," "Fertilizers," "Hog Diseases," "Poultry Production," "Flies and Mosquitoes," and "Bee Culture." from Dixie" Two Weeks Engagement in Avenue and Hubbard Court. THE STAR PERFORMER. June Sunday, February 26. the beautiful scenery and rich and bright costumes and the singing and dancing, will be strikingly pleasing in every way, to hear and behold. It is said that several medical conventions have been held recently and passed resolutions denouncing J. Leubrie Hill for presenting his successful musical comedy. "My Friend From Dixie," as it is interfering with their business, it is a well known fact that laughter is the best cure for all ills that afflict mankind, and "My Friend From Dixie," is a sure specific for Dyspepcia. "My Friend From Dixie," had a most successful run in Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, and the last weeks it was presented in those cities, standing room was at a premium and people had to be turned away. Manager James H. Browne, of the Globe Theatre, owing to the popularity of J. Leubrie Hill, and other stars in "My Friend From Dixie," anticipates crowded houses at each performance during the two weeks engagement. Bargain matinees, Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday 25 cents. Governor Mann said: "We have in Virginia 25,612,000 acres of land. We are cultivating less than 4,000,000. Virginia—only 4,000,000. If we had Massachusetts, 12,000,000, Virginia would be the empire state of the Union. "If the farmers of Virginia averaged 6134 bushels of corn to the acre, as did the boys who undertook the demonstration work for 1910, Virginia alone would produce annually 150,000,000 bushels of corn." Dr. Knapp declared that the United States losses every year two billion dollars through losses by agricultural short comings that can be remedied. The demonstration work, corn clubs for boys, and canning and poultry clubs for girls, have increased the people's earning power and made them better citizens." Professor Hurd spoke on "Transition in Agriculture" and "Corn Production." He advocated deep soil preparation and shallow cultivation for corn. Thomas C. Walker, Gloucester, Va., a Hampton graduate and lawyer-farmer who has helped his people buy and improve land, urged the farmers to secure property while they have the opportunity. Hampton Institute is making possible the extension of Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong's ideas through its annual Farmers' Conference. White Woman Asks Divorce on the Ground of Deception. Mobile Ala., Feb. 24—Mrs. Katie Lee Mendez, daughter of a prominent family of this city, has applied for a legal separation from her husband, Wm. Mendez. In the petition the plaintiff avers that the man she married was a Negro, which fact she discovered soon after marriage. Sheriff Michael Zimmer spends all the time during business hours in the discharge of his official duties, and in the evening he is out whooping it up for Carter H. Harrison, for Mayor of Chicago, and Sheriff Zimmer is dead sure that "Our Carter" will win out in the three cornered fight between him, Edward F. Dunne, and Andrew J. Graham.

Sunday, February 26th, will be Frederick Douglass Day, at the Negro Fellowship League Reading Rooms, 2830 State street. An interesting muiscal program will be rendered. Mrs. I. B. W. Barnett President. ALD. MICHAEL McINERNEY The peoples' candidate for re-election to the city council from the 30th ward. Place an X in front of his name when voting at the primaries Tuesday, February 28th and let it go at that. Nothing will be said in these columns against Joseph Simpson, Fred. R. Howard, and William J. Lynch, or any other aspirants for aldermanic honors in the 30th ward and all things considered, we believe that Alderman Michael McInerney should be re-elected to the city council for another term of two years. In the past he has proven himself a useful alderman to all classes of his constituents. He has worked early and late for the benefit of all. No energy, nor time was spared by him in greatly assisting to bring about the many improvements which are in evidence in all sections of the 30th ward. It has been largely through his influence that well on to 600 new electric lights have been equally distributed throughout the ward, the past few years, and he labored might and main to secure the asphalt paving of Dearborn street, and Armour avenue, 50th street from State to Armour, as well as State street from 39th on South. And as we always feel that it is eminently just and fair to give credit where it is justly due. Therefore we are heartily in favor of the re-election at the primaries on Tuesday, February 28th, and at the April election of Alderman, Michael McInerney to the City Council from the 30th ward.

Former Alderman John Edward Scully, Republican candidate for mayor of Chicago, is to the manner born. He was raised on the west side, educated in its public schools and growing up to manhood, winthin its limits. For four years, he honorably served the city as an alderman from the 13th ward, and as a first class business man he ranks with the best in the city and he thoroughly understands the wants and the needs of its people. For years, Mr. Scully, has been at the head of the Scully Construction Company, and he has never known any one by the color of their skin.

His daughter is too young to think of marriage, the doctor asserts. The college student is too young to think of it likewise. It is out of the question. She explained all this to her lover the other night. "Father says," she summed it up, "father says, dear, that I will have to give you up." The young man sighed. "Then it's all over," he murmured, with gloomy interrogation. And the girl laughed and blushed. "Well," she said.

"The old fashioned idea of the importance of saving the pennies," said Mr. Patten, "has gone out. It isn't by the saving of pennies that such a fortune as Pierpont Morgan's or George Gould's is now piled up. Frugality may be the road to wealth, but it is not the speedwar."

Traffic of the Sea Canals Traffic of the Soo Canals. The Soo canals are the busiest artificial waterways in the world, and the traffic grows space. The last report of Colonel C. M. C. McD. Townsend of the United States army corps of engineers shows that the total value of freight passing through the canals during the season of 1909 was $626,104,173. The total freight traffic for the year amounted to 57,895,149 net tons, an increase of no less than 40 per cent over the amount in 1908. The average number of vessels per day through the Poor lock of the American canal was thirty-five. Through the Weltzel lock of the same canal it was twenty-two and through the Canadian lock twenty-seven per day. The whole of this immense traffic was confined to a season of navigation of seven months and twenty-seven days. Wabash Ave. & Hubbard February 26th RIE HILL TREATMENT OF HORSES. How to Feed and Water Them In Hot Weather. Extremely hot weather brings more or less suffering to a horse, and if the animal does not receive proper care and attention at this trying period disastrous results are sure to follow. Above all things else, says Country Life In America, do not overwork the farm horse or force the driver for too much speed or make long drives without frequent rests. At this season, when water is usually more or less scape and horses apparently have an insatiable thirst, the matter of watering deserves considerable attention. Do not give the horse too much at a time, and it is safest to give none at all while he is very warm. A bran mash twice a week will assist in keeping the system cool, and in ease of overfat a dram of pulverized saltpeter added to the mash will be beneficial. On very hot days allow work horses two hours for dinner instead of one, and do not feed until they are somewhat cooled off. Also remove the harness at this time; this extra labor is more than offset by the comfort it gives the animals. In a three horse team the middle one is most liable to heat exhaustion because of the additional heat radiated upon him by the horse on each side. On this account it is advisable to change the horses so that one will not be compelled to be in the middle for more than half a day at a time. The pernicious pestering of files is another matter that cannot be overlooked. The dairy cows and calves, as well as the horses, can be well protected from files by such preparations as are for sale at almost all drug stores or are advertised in the farm papers. These preparations are not expensive and are best applied with a sprayer, although a brush or rag will do if a sprayer is not available. For the work horse a light treatment every morning will afford better protection from files than a net or blanket and is much cooler. According to another writer, it is allowable when a horse is hot to let him have three or four swallows of cool water, but no more. The few swallows will help cool him, and another limited drink may be given every few minutes for four or five times, after which he may drink his fill without danger. In careless or inexperienced hands, however, the only safe way is to let the horse stand for half an hour or more with no water until he is fairly cooled off. Salt is necessary to horses, but it should not be given to them in large quantities and irregularly. An excess of salt at one time produces congestion of the stomach and induces excessive thirst. The best plan is to keep rock salt in reach of the horses at all times, so that they can satisfy their appetite by an occasional lick. If you have not followed this practice, introduce it gradually by giving the animal a little salt with his regular ration for a week. TEST OF FABRICS. How to Detect Frauds In Silk, Linen or Woolen Goods. Of the goods sold as "all wool" there is not one-tenth that is genuine. Generally the main component is cotton. The test for this is simple. All that is necessary is to pull out a few threads and apply a lighted match. Cotton will go off in a blaze; wool will shrivel up. To distinguish pure linen from counterfeit is even easier. The intended buyer need but wet the finger and apply it to the goods. If they are pure linen the moisture will pass through, the spot touched will be soaked at once, and almost immediately one side will be as wet as the other. Frauds are more numerous in silk than in any other fabric, but here also the material of adulteration is cotton. Its presence can be readily discovered. Draw a few threads out. The piece of cotton will snap off short when pulled, while the silk will stretch and permit a considerable pull before breaking. The boasted silk of our grandmothers that "stood by itself" is not necessarily the best. Modern ingenuity has devised means by giving the poorest articles the best body requisite for this purpose. Shellac and other sticky substances mixed through the fabric will produce as stiff a silk as ever graced the wardrobe of our ancestors. Such stuff is quite worthless, however, as it quickly rots. How to Make Oatmeal Lemonade. Lemon oatmeal is a drink of which invalids rarely tire. Mix a tablespoonful of fine oatmeal into a smooth paste with cold water, then pour over it three pints of boiling water, stirring well all the time. Place in a saucepan and boil until the quantity is reduced to two pints. Set it aside to cool and then pour the clear gruel away from the sediment. Add to this the juice of a lemon and a small quantity of powdered sugar. This may be served hot or cold, and it is good either way. Perfect Peace. The shivering carolers had just selected a pitch beneath a lamp in a back street when a small boy emerged from a house opposite and beckoned mysteriously to their leader. "Mother says you're to sing something loud." he whispered. "That bit about 'Peace on earth' will do finel She don't want no others. Just you go on hollering 'Peace on earth.'" For ten minutes the willing minstrels yelled their loudest. Then a little woman, armed with a copper saucer pan, appeared upon the scene. "Thanks!" she said, handing the collector threepence. "That 'Peace on earth' 'as done it beautiful! My of man went to fetch the turkey 'e won in a rattle tonight, an 'comin' 'ome 'e made one or two calls and lorst it, so I've just been a-teachin' 'im to be more careful, an' I didn't want none 'o the neighbors to interfere when 'e 'oillered out."—Pearson's Weekly.

"I don't believe that the public schools teach their graduates to use their minds," remarked a well known citizen of Philadelphia the other day. "Here's a story just to illustrate what I mean: "I got a secretary last summer who had just been graduated with high honors from the Commercial high school. She had been picked out for me as the best girl in her class, and I found her excellent in all that required methodical, parrot-like work. "One day I jotted down some telephone numbers that I wanted to remember and, having a poor memory, forgot in the course of the morning whose the numbers were or what the business was upon which I wanted to phone. "So I called Miss Blank just as I was going out and said, 'Before you get your luncheon I wish you'd find out for me whose those telephone numbers are.' "Two hours later I came back, and Miss Blank was sitting at her desk, weary and perseveringly studying the telephone book. "I asked her if she had got some letters written that I had left, if she had lunched, if she had done several little things. She said no and then explained: "You see, it takes me a long time to read through the book till I come to the numbers you want," she said. "I haven't had time to do anything else!" — Philadelphia Times. THE BROAD AX CAN BE FOUND ON SALE AT THE FOLLOWING NEWS STANDS. E.A.

Phone Aldine 2532 FARMERS LISTEN TO GOOD ADVICE Utica(Miss.) Institute Entertains Seventh Annual Conference. HOLTZGLAW'S ABLE ADDRESS Thrilling Personal Experiences of Men Who Get Their Living Out of the Soil Were Features of the Meeting, Shiftlessness, Idleness and Debt Slavery Condemned. Utica, Miss.—A strong, common sense address to farmers by William H. Holtzclaw, principal and founder of the Utica Normal and Industrial institute; remarkable stories by individual farmers, who told of their efforts to purchase land and educate their children, and a sane, conservative public address by the farmers and visitors assembled were the principal features of the seventh annual farmers' conference, recently held at the institute. In his distress to the farmers, which became the services, Professor Holtz-crew of the object of the con-vention an honest effort on the administration to be of service of the community and to pointed advice to the people of distress, idleness and being always in debt were strongly condemned by the prominent educator, and, on the other hand, he told his hearers that if they wanted to enjoy prosperity they must work for it. "The price of success is industry, thrift, economy and morality," he said. "With these you must mix a good degree of foresight. For nearly fifty years you have been renting land, and you have worked it until you have literally worked it to death. Yet there are some present today who are not worth one cent more than they were forty-eight years ago. We get into the habit of believing that the world is against us; that the white man is making an effort to keep us down. I have never found one white man whose opinion was worth anything in the community that was opposed to Negroes being respectable and progressive citizens. On the other hand, I know them by thousands who have helped Negroes to buy homes and attain respectable places as citizens. The personal experiences of many of the unlettered colored farmers who have been inspired by the institution in its efforts to relieve their condition formed by far the most interesting portion of the conference program. Several hours were taken up in hearing these impromptu speeches, and among the farmers who gave interesting testimony were Pleasant McCadney, Isiah Marshall, Daniel Lee, Daniel Griffin, Henry Samples and many other farmers who have struggled hard until they are now in comfortable circumstances. Significant resolutions prepared by a committee composed of Professor T. J. Johnson, F. G. Smith, Mae Dixon, C. S. Kelley and M. B. Anderson were read and adopted unanimously. The resolutions were vigorous and forceful and expressed the real sentiment of the progressive colored man. The Negro was commended in all efforts to be law abiding, to acquire property, to raise the moral status, and industrial education was held up to be of the greatest possible benefit to the masses. A frank statement of the condition of the rural public schools and the lack of law enforcement was one of the noteworthy features of the address, which read in part: "It cannot be expected that Negroes remain on the farm from year to year, receiving scant wages only once a year, with no educational opportunities, because their teachers are poorly paid. This can be changed to a very great extent. The Negroes of the state of Mississippi make up 58 per cent of the population, yet they receive only 24 per cent of the money for education. We do not even suggest that the white children should receive less than they already receive for education, but the best interests of the state demand that the Negro shall have more." A large number of prominent men A large number of prominent men from various sections of the state attended the conference. PROGRESS IN EDUCATION. National Religious Training School Nends More, Room For Students. Needs more Room for Education. At the January meeting of the board of trustees of the National Religious Training school, Durham, N. C., of which Dr. James E. Shepard is president, reports were read which showed that the school was in excellent condition in all departments of its work. The need of greater facilities for the work of the school was a prominent feature of the session of the board. Bishop George W. Clinton, D. D., offered a resolution, which was unanimously passed by the board, to the effect that the substantial progress of the school demands an increase of buildings and other facilities to meet the needs of the work. The resolution empowers the president to appeal to the public for liberal support for the institution, which is filling a peculiar need for the people for whom it is disseminating a wholesome atmosphere for the greatest uplift. Owing to the large number of applications that are being received for the many departments of the school two more dormitories, a larger auditorium and a special building for the medical training of missionaries for home and foreign work must be erected as soon as the funds are in hand. It is the consensus of opinion of those working for the bettering of conditions among the race that the missionaries should receive the very best training. The influence of the school is already being felt in a number of states, and students from five states have enrolled. There are nearly 100 boarding students, with a like number of day students. President Shepard was authorized to proceed as soon as funds are available to erect two brick buildings. The board unanimously and enthusiastically passed a resolution thanking ex-Governor Glenn and Judge Peter C. Pritchard for their great interest in the work, which has been a potent factor in the present success of the institution. The summer school and Chautauqua, which will begin about July 5, with special courses, will be largely attended, and the lectures will be the best of their kind ever given at an institution for the race in the south. AMERICAN NEGRO ACADEMY. Work of an Institution In Washington Composed of Literary Men. This statement regarding a well known institution is of interest: The American Negro academy was formally organized in Washington March 5, 1897, by the action of eighteen men, of whom nine still maintain an active connection, three others having died. During its existence there have been at different times fifty-four enrolled members, representing [Name] PROPESSOR KELLY MILLER. sixteen states and the District of Columbia. The initial meeting held Dec. 18, 1938, was held at the University of Wisconsin, Walter H. Hayzen, Kelly Miller, Paul Lawrence Dunbar and John W. Crumwell, at whose residence the meeting was held. Dunbar, while he read selections from his poems at more than one of the earlier annual meetings, did not actively connect himself with the organization. There have been three presidents—John F. Kennedy, the founder, Dr. William B. DuBois and Hon. Archibald H. Grimek. Among the distinguished men residents elected to honorary membership are included Edward Wilmot Blyden of the west coast of Africa, Right Rev. James Theodore Holly, bishop of Henry; Henry O. Tanner, the artist; Antenor Firmin, the composer; and Dr. Louis Joseph Janvier, member of several foreign learned societies.

The increased cost of living and the marked tendency toward the "two child standard" in German towns has led the municipality of Schoenberg, which comprises a large part of south and southwest Berlin, to offer premiums to municipal employees with large families. All parents with more than two children are to benefit. Widowers with children are treated equally with these whose wives are alive. The premiums are large enough to make a considerable difference in a workingman's household.
