CHARLES BOESCHENSTEIN WILL THE DEMOCRATIC NATION GOV. CHARLES S. DENEEN IS M CARRY HIS FIGHT FOR RE AND CORNER OF ILLINOIS. President William H. Taft, has finally decided to fasten on his fighting clothes, walk out in the open field and fight Col. Theodore Roosevelt to the bitter end, and the fight between these two big high priests of the Republican party, continues to grow hotter each day, in an effort to secure and control the majority of the delegates to the next National Republican convention which convenes in this city, Tuesday, June 18. President Taft is at the present time scoring some mighty strong points against the former Rough Riding President and dealing him some body or knock out blows notwithstanding this fact, Col. Roosevelt seems to be very hard to kill off and right along he continues to capture delegates in many states that should go solid for President Taft. This can only be accounted for on the theory that the people always stick to and admire a man like unto Col. Roosevelt, who is past master in the art of cussing and damning and branding those who may honestly differ with him, as bare faced liars, thieves and criminals, and the people further adhere to him because he is engaged in preaching many false or unsound doctrines in relation to conducting the affairs of this government. Col. Roosevelt was president of the United States in 1907, and his unstatesmanship like policies at that time brought on the long to be remembered panic at that time, causing thousands of good honest business WILL ISOLATE CONSUMPTIVES National Association Commends New Jersey Legislation as Most Advanced in Country. Provides for Compulsory Removal and Detention of Cases. What is designated by The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis, in a statement issued today, as the most advanced legislation in the campaign against tuberculosis that has been enacted by any state in the United States, if not by any country in the world, is found in a bill just passed by the New Jersey Legislature and signed by Governor Wilson. The new law provides that tuberculosis patients who refuse to obey the regulations laid down by the State Board of Health concerning the prevention of their disease, and thus become a menace to the health of those with whom they associate, shall be compulsorily segregated by order of the courts, in institutions provided for this purpose. If such a patient refuses to obey the rules and regulations of the institution in which he is placed, he may "be isolated or separated from other persons and restrained from leaving the institution." The law further provides that all counties in the State of New Jersey shall within six months from April 1st, make provision in special institutions for the care of all persons having tuberculosis in these counties. The state treasury will subsidize each county to the extent of $3.00 a week for each person maintained in these HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY men to become divested of their fortunes in the twinkling of an eye, driving many of them to end their own lives and here in Chicago nothing, but wild cat money was in use for more than one month. Therefore, it is the opinion of the majority of the captains of industry who control the great business interests in this country that if Col. Theodore Roosevelt, is nominated and elected president of the United States, in 1912, that we will have four years more of wild cat money and four years more of free soup houses. Roger C. Sullivan will head the Illinois delegation to the Democratic National Convention at Balimtore, Md., and on returning from that convention he will retire from active politics in this city and throughout the State of Illinois. Charles Boesenstein, newspaper editor and banker at Edwardsville, Ill., who has served as chairman of the Democratic state committee for six or seven years, and who has always been very friendly to Colored people, will succeed Mr. Sullivan as a member of the Democratic National Committee Arthur W. Charles, of Carmi, at the present time vice-chairman will succeed Mr. Boeschstein as chairman of the state committee; Mr.-Isaac B. Craig, will serve as secretary. Governor Charles S. Deneen, is making active preparations to carry his fight for re-election into every nook and corner of Illinois. institutions except those who are able to pay for the cost of maintenance. Commenting upon this legislation, The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis says that this is the most advanced legislation of its kind that has ever been enacted in this county by any state legislature. The only other state which provides for compulsory segregation of dangerous cases of tuberculosis, is Maryland. The only city in the United States which has adopted a special ordinance providing for compulsory removal of dangerous tuberculosis cases, is San Francisco. A few other cities, such as New York, exercise this power under certain provisions of their sanitary codes, but no other city has any special ordinance on the subject. The National Association declares that a consumptive who exercises sufficient precautions in the disposal of his sputum need not be a menace to anyone. The association goes further, however, in saying that when a consumptive refuses to adopt the proper precautions necessary to prevent the spread of his disease, he should be forcibly isolated and segregated in a special hospital provided for that purpose. Mrs. Martha B. Anderson, 6450, Champlain avenue, the Golden voiced songbird arrived home this morning from filling two singing engagements, in the west. Tuesday evening she more than charmed the people of Omaha, Neb., and her concert in that city was a splendid success and she easily sung her way into the hearts of those who enjoy classical singing, on Thursday evening, April 25. She highly delighted the people of Des Moines, Iowa, with her golden or sweet soprano voice. The business end of both concerts were highly pleasing to Mrs. Anderson. CHICAGO, APRIL 27, 1912 Republican candidate for re-election as Coroner of Cook county. MAYOR CARTER H. HARRISON, PERMITTED DUST TO BE THROWN INTO HIS EYES, AS TO HIS POLITICAL STRENGTH THROUGHOUT ILLINOIS. Last Thursday, Mayor Carter H. Harrison and his band of faithful followers, practically closed up the city hall, and with plenty of the long green in their hip pockets, they bought and ran a special train to the Democratic state convention at Peoria, where they make and always dish up plenty of free whisky to those who attend conventions in that enterprising city—the second in size in this state. er body and that as far as he able to learn there are no Negro educators connected. Mr. McGhee was asked by Mr. to become a member of committee, but the invitation accepted. McGhee's Action Disapp Mr. McGhee's action has approved by many citizens, b and white, and a meeting at Elk's hall on Monday night 22, and voiced their disapp would rather that Mr. McGhee consented to the above app. But it is a recorded fact that opposed many movements t Shortly after arriving in it, Mayor Harrison, the "man of Destiny," and his army of invaders and supporters, ran right square up against this one hard and stubborn fact, namely, that they did not tote around in their vest pockets all of the political world, that while they were big and important politicians in this city and in Cook county, but when it came to flapping their wings and spreading themselves out over the entire state, that was an entirely different question. And without any long comment, the final outcome of the Peoria convention proves that this is true, for Mayor Harrison had no delegates or followers in it from any part of the state outside of Cook County. Mayor Harrison like a manly man freely admits that he had been misled as to his political strength out in the state. His Honor has no one to blame in this respect, but himself, for he freely permitted the editors of the Hearst's newspapers in this city to fill his eyes full of dust as to his political importance in this state, regardless of the fact that these same newspapers whose New York owner and editors in this city, seem to own Mayor Harrison, body and soul, print more down right lies each issue, to the square inch, than all the other decent newspapers in the United States combined. ATTORNEY FREDERICK L. McGHEE, OPPOSES CONGRESS ENTERS PROTEST AGAINST ASSEMBLY COMMITTEE. Two leading Negro citizens clashed over the proposal to appropriate $400 from the contingent fund for entertainment of visitors and publicity in connection with the Negro Educational congress. Rev. J. R. White, appearing in support of the resolution, declared that the congress, to be held in the old Capitol, July 15 to 19, will bring some of the leading educators of the Colored race to St. Paul. F. L. McGhee, Negro attorney, told the committee that the Negro Congress is only a branch from the old er body and that as far as he has been able to learn there are no leading Negro educators connected with it. Mr. McGhee was asked by Mr. White to become a member of the local committee, but the invitation was not accepted. McGhee's Action Disapproved. Mr. McGhee's action has been disapproved by many citizens, both black and white, and a meeting was held at Elk's hall on Monday night, April 22, and voiced their disapproval. We would rather that Mr. McGhee had consented to the above appropriation. But it is a recorded fact that he has opposed many movements that were of importance to the people of St. Paul—who have been more forgiving in the past than at the present. The Star regrets that this learned member of our race has proven ungrateful, that instead of growing in popularity, he is fast becoming exceedingly unpopular.—The Twin City Star. Frederick L. McGhee, delights to pose as one of the big dogs of the race, however it will not do to pass up the fact that he still owes us three dollars as his back subscription to The Broad Ax—Editor. SPRING HEALTH HINTS This is clean-up time. The Mayor has issued a proclamation setting aside the week beginning April 29 as clean-up week. Get in line with this suggestion, for it is a good one. Talk it over with your neighbors and get them in line too. Of course, like all good ideas, this clean-up idea must be enthusiastically and energetically carried out in order that the best results be obtained and the largest amount of benefits derived It is a good idea to make every day a clean-up day. Dirt and filth accumulate all the time; and if neglected soon become ugly, unsightly and dangerous. Cleanliness and beauty can only be maintained by constant vigilance and labor. It pays to have clean, attractive surroundings. It pays in dollars and cents for the reason that a tidy and well-kept property will sell for more monev than will the property that is dirty, untidy and neglected. It pays in comfort and satisfaction; in pride, joy and self-respect. Get after the vacant lots in your community and see that they are tidied up. Then when this is done.

TRUTH ABOUT ADVERTISING Solicitors Should Not Exaggerate Conditions—Their Mission Defined. BY ALBON L HOLSEY. Advertising solicitors sometimes do much to discourage the advertiser by exaggerating the value of their papers as advertising media. Many of them seem to have in mind as they work nothing save their commission. Such a spirit is bound to react harmfully because the interests of the advertiser demand the most thoughtful attention from the advertising solicitor since he is the man to be directly benefited. The solicitor's commission should be a secondary consideration. No solicitor should attempt to sell space to an advertiser unless he is reasonably sure that it will pay him. Merely filling the advertising page with advertisements of no value is no test of the competence of a solicitor. Suppose a magazine claiming to be national in scope fills its advertising pages with purely local advertisements? If the circulation is national, then less than one-tenth is purely local, and if its rate to these advertisers is based on its circulation its advertisers are wasting nine-tenths of this money. Unless its solicitor acquaints these advertisers with the truth of the situation it is adopting a bad policy to build up a lasting clientele of advertisers. Such thoughtlessness makes it difficult for the conscientious solicitor to convince the advertiser of a real valuable advertising proposition. Annual Session of Mystic Shriners. Annual Session of Mystic Shriners. The thirteenth annual session of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of Nobles of the Mystic Shrine will meet in Atlantic City, Sept. 5 and 6. Only Knights Templars and thirty-second degree Scottish Rite Masons are entitled to membership in this body of bona fide Masons, which is divided into a northern and a southern jurisdiction. R. H. Hueles of New York is head of the northern jurisdiction, and Joseph L. T. Smith of Baltimore is head of the southern end. Temples are at present in all of the large cities, including Baltimore. Philadelphia, New York, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, Richmond, Va.; New Orleans, Atlanta, Ga.; Portland, Ore., and Jacksonville, Fla. Eugene Phillips of New York, the present potentate, will very likely be-elected. J. H. Murphy of Baltimore, the present imperial recorder, has been urged by a number of Scottish Rite Masons to run for imperial potentate, but it is said that he entertains no ambitions in that direction. Jose E. Sherwood of St. Paul, Minn., the present chief rabbban, is also mentioned for the office. A. T. Waller of Baltimore, the present imperial treasurer, will probably be-elected. The session is expected to be largely attended. Among the social events is a parade of the nobles and a big reception at Fitzgerald's auditorium. Recent Inventions A new electrical soldering iron is stationary, articles to be soldered being held against it. An Iowa man has patented a bedstead that holds a mattress on rollers and pivots. The object is to turn the mattress around or turn it over with slight effort. For the convenience of carpenters there has been invented a machine which, held in one hand, feeds nails into the position in which they are to be driven by a hammer held in the other hand. Automobile Runs A flexible steering wheel shaft for automobiles is a recent French invention. Of the passenger traffic in the London streets 92 per cent of the vehicles are motor drawn. An automatic change speed gear for automobiles, which regulates the speed of a car to the tractive resistance, but allows the motor to operate with undiminished power, has been invented.

At the annual meeting of the American Church Institute For Colored People recently held in Brooklyn the Rev. George A. McGuire. M. D., general agent of the institution, was the principal speaker. After the routine business of the meeting had been disposed of reports from the secretary, treasurer and board of trustees were read, which showed that the work had been conducted in a satisfactory manner during the year. A review of the work of the institution was also presented by the secretary, Mr. W. H. Young. In the course of his address Dr. McGuire said: "The American Church Institute For Colored People was organized by the board of missions of the Protestant, Episcopal church for educational work among the colored people of the south. It consists of five schools—the Bishop Payne Divinity, Petersburg, Va.; St. Paul Normal and Industrial school, Lawrenceville, Va.; St. Augustine's, Raleigh, N. C.; St. Athanasius, Brunswick, Ga., and the Vicksburg Industrial school for the Negro youth at Vicksburg, Miss. In these five institutions it is carrying on a work which if generously supported would go far toward the solution of the Negro problem and make the work of the church institute equal in its efficiency to that which is done at Hampton and Tuskegee, the largest schools emphasizing industrial and normal work. "The organization also does academic and professional work. Thus our plan involves a comprehensive ideal of education, beginning—where all true education begins—with the minds and energies of little children and going on to the training of men for the ministry of the church and for the highest kind of spiritual service of man. In our chain of schools we have 1,800 scholars, including men, women and children, and about eighty-five instructors. "The president of the institute is the Right Rev. David H. Greer, D. D., while the balance of officers and board of trustees is made up of prominent clergymen and laymen of the diocese." in concluding Dr. McGuire appealed to the members for sympathy in the work, asking for their assistance in any way. The office of the general agent is at 416 Lafayette street, New York. Officers for the ensuing year were elected as follows: Charles H. Fuller, president; A. Augustus Low, Judge Robert J. Wilkin, Walter Randall Marsh, B. A., and Edwin A. Marschalk, vice presidents; Walter H. Young, secretary; Warren S. Pangborn, treasurer; board of trustees, class of 1915. A. Augustus Low, F. W.

West African Was Proud of His Race, Says Dr. Lyon in Eulogy. At the memorial meeting for the late Dr. Edward Wilmot Blyden held under the auspices of St. Mark's lyceum in New York recently Mr. John E. Bruce gave a reminiscent talk on the life and work of the great scholar and statesman, while the principal oration was delivered by Ernest Lyon, D. D., exminster to Liberia. Dr. Lyon said in part: Mr. Blyden was free born and had an air of independence common to men born in an atmosphere of freedom. There was in him no trace of foreign blood, his ancestors having happily escaped the wiles of miscegenation. He was descended from the Ebos, one of the most courageous, warlike and intellectual tribes of all western Africa. The choicest terms in the Bible describe this connection. There was nothing about Africa or the Africans that he seemed ashamed of. He was proud of his race and the color of his skin, which was as soft and as beautiful as that of a woman. He was ready upon all occasions to defend the dignity of his race. And why should a man of African descent feel any less insecure than a man of Caucasian descent with tribes like the Mandingans or Vals or Jollafs or Deys or Grebbas or scores of others whose peoples have come under my knowledge and observation than should the man of Anglo-Saxon descent in acknowledging his ancestors, who were worshiping idolaters, the mistletoes, offering blood of human soul, thaninking human blood out of human soul? Young Hylden emigrated to Liberia during the progress of its national evolution, which marked the rise of the republic from a colony to an independent sovereignty. He was one of the who helped shape its national destiny. Here in Liberia, he had the opportunity to satisfy his intellectual cravings. Liberia college, the national institution, then in its infancy, afforded him the chance for which his soul yearned. Here he demonstrated his capacity for higher education, his aptness for the arts, and for the dead languages. His mastery of Latin, Greek and Hebrew was phenomenal. He was charmingly familiar with the literature not only of the English, but of the French German and Italian, whose languages he spoke with fluency and academic precision. The Mohammedans of west Africa regarded him as an authority on the Arabic, and his labor among them the language of education won the esteem of the sultan of Turkey, stowed upon him honors and distinctions of which no other English speaking member of the Negro race has been permit to enjoy. He became the constant companion of people of title, rank and distinction, notably William E.

The Society of the Sons of Virginia in Brooklyn has revised its constitution and bylaws so that any male person of Virginia parentage may be eligible to membership in the organization who can pass the required examination The Boss. Three Finger Sam he used to be as bold as any one He obeyed stick. They said he had four notches on his gun And never took no back talk from a stranger or a friend. Whenever trouble started he was there to superintend. We stood and gazed respectful as he drained the jovial cup. He never woke up bed, but used to sleep in dun'up. He was the roughest, toughest man that ever hit the place. And now you ought to see him—he's completely fell from grace. He met a gal not five feet high and wispy-like and pale. She married him, and now he's hit the water wagon trail. He wears a cost and collar, and he even combs his hair And hesitates in talkin', 'cause he knows he doesn't swear. And Mrs. Sam she says she wouldn't be no jagarette. She's satisfied to boss one ablebodied man, you bet. That's ready to break loose like water from a busted dam And clean up the community if she says "Sick 'em, Sam!" — Washington Star. Wires Tangled. Thomas A. Edison was accepting blandly a reporter's apology for an error in a quotation. "Oh," Mr. Edison said. "I am rather well used to being misquoted. Electrical terms are always confusing to the lay mind. No wonder. Listen to this." Here Mr. Edison drew a telegram from his pocket. "I got this telegram from an assistant electrician this morning." be said. "Listen."

And ask themselves the reason why She is so fascinating— Somerville Journal. It Acted as a Tonic The grouch was very ill. The doctor inspected him gravely. The grouch looked on with alarm. "Now, see here, doc," he growled, "I want to know just what you're going to charge me for all this." The doctor faintly smiled. "Don't worry," he repiled. "I'll settle all that with your children." Whereupon the grouch got so mad that he speedily recovered.—Cleveland Plain Dealer. No Temptation. No Temptation. He has a fair stenographer. Her voice is low and sweet. The other has a new hair.

And so he never seems to care For flirting with the mind. -Chicago Record-Herald. The Succession A teacher was hearing the class in civics and asked this question: "If the president, vice president and all the members of the cabinet died who would oblige?" The class thought for some time, trying in vain to recall who came next in succession. James at last had a happy inspiration, and he answered: "The undertaker."—Harper's Magazine. Gossain Proof.

Fly Catches Sam Crawford of the Tigers is using a heavier bat than usual and says the ball looks bigger than ever. There are ten players on the Boston Nationals whose aggregate height is dirty-one feet, and they have a composite batting average close to 300. Bugs Raymond will earn his livelihood this season playing ball for a semi-professional team in Chicago. He has again taken the pledge and claims he will be back in fast company before the season is over. The Boston Americans spent $4,000 for baseballs last year, twice as much as any other club paid for cork centers. President McAleer has hired a corps of sleuths to trail foul balls over the grand stand and fences this season. Primary Ballots We prefer the Australian ballot primary. Only Fiji cannibals and Igorote head hunters have the brains to understand the present system.—Brooklyn Eagle. Thus far human ingenuity has been unable to devise a form of presidential primary that will be even fairly satisfactory to the loser.—Pittsburgh Gazette-Times. There seems to be a great deal of room for improvement in the preferential primary laws throughout the country. In fact, some of them don't seem to be any better than the Sherman law.—Chicago Record-Herald. Trust Thrusts. It is always melon season with Stand- ard Oil.—Baltimore American. We shudder when we think of the vast sum of money which the defense of the packers cost and of the means which will be used to retrieve the loss. —Kansas City Journal.

Starched clothes, shirts, collars, cuffs, etc., if dried before a bright fire after ironing, become beautifully stiff. Cold water, with but little soap, should be used for washing colored silks. If the color runs vinegar should be stirred into the water until the color sets. To have your clothes clean and beautifully white place a slice of lemon with the rind cut off in the boiler. The result is surprising and will not in any way hurt or injure the clothes. German Gleanings. Four and one-half per cent of German university students are women. Cabs drawn by horses are no longer permitted to use the main thoroughfares in Berlin. The navy of the German empire is under the supreme command of the German emperor.

DAMES AND DAUGHTERS Mrs. E. M. Waddell is the newly elected poundmaster of Los Angeles, the first woman in the country to occupy such a position. Miss Laura G. Grant of New York has been appointed a member of the fire prevention inspectors' bureau of that city, of which there are seventy-five, she being the only woman. The appointment of Mile. Edmee Chandon as assistant astronomer at the Paris observatory marks the official recognition by France of feminine achievement in a branch of science for which women have shown a peculiar aptitude. The Rev. Antoinette Blackwell, D. D., the first woman to be ordained a minister, now in her eighty-eighth year, is the only survivor of the speakers at the first national woman's rights convention, at which Mrs. Julia Ward Howe was the presiding officer. Ellen Spencer Mussey, who for a quarter of a century has held the position of attorney for the Swedish and Norwegian legations in Washington, has been an active and successful lawyer for thirty-five years. In 1806 she established the Woman's Law Class, which has since developed into the Washington College of Law, with its founder as dean. Current Comment.

The per capita money volume is now smaller than a month ago and a year ago, which ought to destroy the last excuse for any further rise in the cost of living.-New York World. Uncle Sam has some cause to grow dissatisfied with his neighborhood.

Automobile Runs. Clearly something should be done to lessen the number of accidents and fatalities due to the operation of automobiles. - Worcester Gazette Of course people who drive automobiles faster than they ought to do not want to kill anybody. But they expect pedestrians to do too much of the watching and all the getting out of the way. - Baltimore News. The driver of a motorcar seems to take it for granted that the lordly superiority given by an automobile endows him with full authority to go where he pleases and how he pleases, whether the pedestrian pleases or not. - Philadelphia Times.

His excellency Daniel Howard, Liberia's new president, is getting a firm grip on the affairs of the government and has thus far demonstrated his ability as a thoughtful leader. President Howard attributes much of the present satisfactory condition of the republic to the interest which the United States has taken in Liberia's welfare. Red Snow Red snow is often seen in spring at the head of Alpine glaciers. Scientists used to believe that the hue was due to the presence of innumerable tiny reddish insects, but it is now known to be caused by a microscopical plant which is pink when growing and a deep crimson when in a state of maturity. Overeating. Don't live to eat, but eat to live Many of our ills are due to overeating, to eating the wrong things and to irregular eating. Stars In Hercules Even at this distance the astronomers can count 14,000 stars in the famous cluster of Hercules. The advent of our sun with its little retinue of planets into that bunch of blazing luminaries would scarcely amount to a local disturbance. Persian Lamb Skins The trade in Persian lamb or orastakhan skins centers in Turkestan, and the traders of that country have the entire monopoly of it. They pasture the ewe lambs in immense flocks, and it has been found useless to try to accustom these animals to any considerable change of climate. If they survive elsewhere the skin undergoes degeneration, and the fur consequently becomes less valuable. Horses In Russia All horse breeding in Russia is under military supervision. Pullman Conductors Pullman service rules require that a conductor shall be at least five feet six inches tall and at least twenty-five years old. Other requirements are that he shall have been employed at least five years, with satisfactory recommendations from a former employer. Soap and Sugar. About half a teaspoonful of ordinary moist sugar rubbed into the hands with a soapy lather will clean them and leave them beautiful and smooth. The Equinox. The word equinox refers to the fact that if the sun crosses the equator when it is exactly east at sunrise and due west at sunset the hours of sunlight are equal to those without it. The path of the sun is called the ecliptic, and it crosses the equator twice a day. Bric-a-brac. In arranging bric-a-brac it should be borne in mind that a few pieces will give more character to a room than a jumble will. A few pictures are better than crowded walls. Buttercups. Buttercups got their names because the people who named them didn't know any better. They thought that the cows ate the buttercups and that was what made the butter yellow in the spring time. It was a pretty idea, and the only fault to find with it is that cows never eat buttercups when they can possibly help it. And if you bite one you'll see why. Cows don't like the taste of them any more than you do. Asiatic Russia. Asiatic Russia's 188 rivers have a total navigable length of 73,558 miles, while the domain contains four lakes that can be navigated for 707 miles. Colored Rain. Red rains are very rare, but in volcanic regions gray rain is comparatively common. Sicily has had many showers of this shade. They are caused by the upper atmosphere being full of ash colored volcanic dust from Etna. This dust is infinitesimally fine and colors the rain as it falls. Birds on Strike The female members of the bird tribe sometimes desert their nests, leaving their eggs to become unhatchable, and drive away the males. While the male birds are very concerned on these occasions, they seem to have no remedy, as the male birds will not attack the females. Mules In Cuba. In Cuban cities heavy hauling is done almost exclusively by mules. Milk In Turkey: Although Turkey is pre-eminently an agricultural and pastoral country, it has but few milk cows, and there is very little in the way of dairy industry. Milk is sold at rather high rates, is not always clean and is very often adulterated. Rabbit Colonies In the rabbit colonies it usually falls to the share of the stronger rabbits to do most of the hardest digging and harrowing. About once in two years they come out on strike and decline to make the passages which connect all the burrows in a big warren. Mexican Oysters Oysters abound along the entire eastern coast of Mexico; also on the western. They are small, but of good flavor. A Man's Food. The average man takes five and one-half pounds of food and drink each day, which amounts to nearly one ton of solid and liquid nourishment annually. A man breathes eighteen times in a minute, or from 850 to 400 cubic feet of air every day of his existence. Manhattan Island. Having an average of 99,000 residents to the square mile, Manhattan Island is the most densely populated place in the world. Invading the Enemy's Country. "In pursuance of a plan I have had in mind for some time," announced Pastor Goodsole at the close of his sermon. "I have rented a small room in an apartment house in a fashionable neighborhood and expect to open a mission Sunday school there on the first Sunday in May. I don't know, brethren, where the children who attend it are to come from. If, indeed, any children attend it at all, but it will be there all summer and may be regarded either as an opportunity or as a reproach. We will now sing our closing hymn."—Chicago Tribune.

Ethics of Bribery A certain saloon keeper years ago was elected to the legislature of a southern state at a time when there was important legislation pending. He accepted a thousand dollars for his vote on a certain measure. The deal was hardly closed when the opposition came round, offering him two thousand.

Her husband, Dr. von Gontard, has been given corresponding honors. Frau von Gontard is one of the leaders of Berlin society. Tales of Cities. Chicago's court of domestic relations has an official bridesmaid. Between the hours of 9 and 10 in the morning more than 5,000 people enter the city of London every minute. Teheran, the principal Persian city, has a population of 280,000. Tabriz 200,000 and Isfahan 80,000. Fewer than 1,500 Europeans reside within the empire. The new social register of New York city contains 11,519 families. According to the social register, the social center of the city has moved within six years from Fifty-eighth street to Sixty-second and Sixty-third, and it will continue to move northward.

MARCH CRISIS MAGAZINE Featured by Many Facts—Pillsbury on Fourteenth Amendment. Nest to the strikingly beautiful head of a colored girl on the cover of the Marke Crisis, the most striking feature of this number is the article by the Hon. Albert E. Pillsbury, former attorney general of Massachusetts. Mr. Pillsbury contends that under the fourteenth amendment there is a clear federal remedy for lynching, and he outlines a bill calculated to meet this national disgrace. The latest statistics on Negro-American population are given, and the men of the month include J. Rosamond John, the gifted composer; the late Bishop Gaines and the young colored high school student who was a recent prize winner. The strong editorials attack the "divine right" of white men to rule colored girls without penalty and explain what "optimism" among colored people may come to mean in the way of pessimism. Mr. Oswald Garrison Villard contributes a strong letter to a southerner on lynching. The National association announces the pleasantest and most encouraging piece of news which the Crisis ever had to recount. For some time it has been apparent that if the association was to do farreaching constructive work, if it hoped to attack the larger phases of segregation, lawlessness or disfranchisement, it must have a fund at its disposal. Such a fund should be called a fund for legal redress, and its money should be appropriated under the direction of the board of directors and the association's attorney. Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago started this fund on Feb. 1 by a gift of $2,000. Shortly afterward Mr. Samuel Fels of Philadelphia augmented it by a gift of $500. This splendid beginning will make it possible for the association during the present year to carry on a much greater mass of important work than before, always provided that it increases steadily in members. Forty-one persons joined the association in January, 1912, paying $161 in memberships. L. M. Hershaw reminds us in his "Historic Dates" of General Grant's fine message on the fifteenth amendment in March, 1870, in which he denominates that amendment "a measure of grander importance than any other one act of the kind from the foundation of our free government to the present day." Miss Jessie Fauset of the Washington high school and a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Cornell, takes charge of the "What to Read" department. Announcement is made that the Easter number will surpass all previous special numbers. Mr. W. E. D. Du Bols and his associated editors seem to be meeting with unusually encouraging success. MODERN IMPROVEMENTS AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY. New Lighting Plant and Library Facilities Appreciated by Students, The completion of the new electric lighting power plant and the extension of the heating plant, through an expenditure of over $100,000, now give to Howard university, in Washington, an adequate supply of heat and light that should meet its needs for many years to come. For the first time the grounds are lighted. The buildings are also supplied with the quality and amount of light that under the former meager appropriation they were not able to afford. Power is also supplied for the running of the machinery in the department of manual arts, and an ample supply of electricity is available for the work in electrical engineering. The Carnegie library, with its enlarged facilities and increased equipment, has brought a new atmosphere of culture to the institution. No body of students ever showed a more enthusiastic appreciation of such opportunities as are now offered in that finest department of college instruction—namely, the use of books. The doors are open from 8 a. m. to 8:30 p. m. in the general library and to 10 p. m. in the medical room. The average attendance is from forty to eighty each hour. There have been 9,786 books borrowed for use during this scholastic year. There have been 823 accessions of bound volumes. In the cataloguing department 2,837 books have been placed in the card lists. The library now requires the work of the librarian, two permanent assistants and six student assistants. Dr. Washington's Northern Tour. During the latter part of March and the early part of April Dr. Booker T. Washington will make a tour through the northern part of New York, western Pennsylvania and points in Ohio in the interest of the Tuskegee institute. The object of these tours is to more fully acquaint the public with the work of the school and what the institution is doing for the race in sending out students and graduates fully prepared for leadership and uplift in the various lines of literary and industrial work among the masses. Annual Convention of Sunday Schools. The nineteenth annual meeting of the New England Baptist Sunday school convention will be held with the Sunday school of the Monumental Baptist church in Philadelphia for two days beginning on Tuesday. June 11, at 10:30 a.m. All Baptist Young People's unions are invited to join the convention upon the same terms as the Sunday schools, with equal representation of delegates and other officials. 1 She—And would you really put yourself out for my suke?

I used to love the wintry gale, But that was years ago. It makes me fear the gas will fall; I know it's burning low. And through the drifts I'd joyous wade Past fences snowy walled. But now the drifts make me afraid The street cars will be stalled. Old winter was a season dear, But that was years ago. The nipping frosts brought merry cheer About the crackling glow. We watch the tube with furrowed brow, Unmoved by frosty sheens. We'd rather take our winters now In moving picture scenes. -Cleveland Plain Dealer. Aviation. Military airmanship was voted over £100,000 by the British government last year. Of the fifteen aeroplanes owned by the English war office nine are of British and six of French manufacture. Controlling apparatus of a new aeroplane is so arranged that it can be operated by either of two persons seated side by side. Claude Grahame-White, the English aviator, says it is his intention to give up flying and devote his time to the manufacture of aeroplanes.
