One of the largest meetings ever held among the colored people in this city was held Sunday afternoon at the Eighth Regiment Armory. Fully eight thousand people attended the meeting, which was full of pop and enthusiasm from start to finish. Shortly after 4 o'clock Rev. John W. Robinson, the able and progressive pastor of St. Mark Church, president of the Protective Circle, called the great meeting to order. After a few brief remarks Rev. Robinson introduced Charles S. Dukes, secretary of the Protective Circle, who read the detailed report pertaining to the work so far accomplished by it and as to how the money had been expended which had been collected in from the public to date since its formation, and its activities in relation to the Hyde Park and Kenwood Property Owners' Associations. At the conclusion of the reading of the report by Mr. Dukes, President Robinson introduced the first and almost the last speaker of the afternoon or evening in the person of Dr. Charles E. Bentley, vice president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in this part of the country, who consumed a wonderful amount of time in setting forth his views in connection with the unrestful spirit which exists among the colored people and their strong determination to stand with their backs to the wall and tight back all along the line against those who are endeavoring to prevent the colored people from residing wherever they have the money to buy homes and other property. It was far after 5 o'clock when Dr. Bentley refrained from speaking. Then President Robinson called for Rev. A. J. Carey, Hon. Edward H. Morris and Col. Franklin A. Denison, who had been heralded through the columns of the great daily newspapers as the three leading orators of the occasion, but for some cause or other neither one of A RINGING APPEAL TO THE NEGRO RACE. By Leont J. W. Williams Clifford, Special Representative, Washington, D.C. (Special to The Broad Ax.) The Negro race in America has entered upon a new epoch in its evolution. The barriers which have kept our people in subjection are giving way and an era of real freedom and better days are dawning. It may be said that while the Civil War caused the abolition of slavery, the World War has been instrumental in opening wider the door of opportunity to the colored race. We all feel that a change is taking place and that it is a change for the better for the 14,000,000 people which the present census will show to be the colored population of the United States. The colored race in America is slowly but surely working out its own destiny. That our people will rise to greater and grander things is the belief of all thoughtful observers. From the lowest depths of misery in which our ancestors struggled under the inhuman tortures of the lash and degradation conditions on Southern plantations, the Negro race is rising to its proper place in accordance with the divine law of compensation. God works through individuals his wonders to perform. Benefits to the race cannot come of their own accord. The great lesson which the past teaches is that our people must co-operate. They must work together for the advancement of the race. There must be racial solidarity ```markdown ``` THE BROAD AX those distinguished gentlemen showed up or hit the old Eighth Regiment Armory that afternoon. After their failure to hove in sight, President Robinson introduced Mr. M. C. B. Mason as the next speaker, and as he arose to speak—it was not so far from 6 o'clock—and the thousands of people began to grow restless, for many of them no doubt desired to wend their way to their homes and feed their faces before starting for church or to the theaters, and the result was that they walked out of the armory with their money in their pockets, for owing to the lateness of the hour the golden chance had passed to gather it into the treasury of the Protective Circle, where it could and would be well spent in assisting to fight the battles of the colored race in Chicago at the present critical time. As it was well onto twelve hundred dollars in cash and pledges was collected in for the cause. The following are some of those who freely parted with their money in order to aid in the good work of the Protective Circle: W. F. O'Brien, $100; Mrs. George C.

Our forefathers blazed the way out of the jungle of slavery, leaving their children a heritage which they themselves did not enjoy. At a recent gathering of representative colored men in Washington, D. C., a number of whom had served the country with honor and distinction in the American Expeditionary Forces in France, it was the concensus of opinion that the time had arrived, to begin an active propaganda for the betterment of the Negro people. It is authoritatively stated that no less than 400,000 Negro Americans wore the National uniform in the Army and Navy and contributed to the final victory of making the world safe for Democracy. The time has arrived when self-determination should be applied to the Negro race in America, which outnumber many of the races in Europe who are enjoying more freedom as the result of the great conflict. Many reforms are necessary for the colored race and numerous battles remain to be fought in the hall of legislation and elsewhere for a greater degree of equality—for the inalienable rights guaranteed to all American citizens under the Constitution. It is cheering to know that a group of inspired and aggressive leaders are at work on various problems at the National Capital. They are seeking the co-operation of other leaders of the race in Boston, New York, Chicago, Atlanta, Philadelphia Baltimore, New Orleans, Montgomery, St. Louis and elsewhere. The foundation of a broad and pow CHICAGO, SATURDAY, MARCH 6, 1920 [Name] perful propaganda is being laid, which will have a far-reaching influence. It is proposed to extend this campaign of education and enlightenment into the newspapers and magazines of the country, into churches, schools, moving pictures, etc. The leaders of the movement have learned valuable lessons from the manner in which forms of propaganda have been carried for the education of the white American. "The Struggle" is the title chosen for a ten reel motion picture which will portray Negro life in this country in its true light. Into what will prove a drama of transcendent interest, it is proposed to weave a most powerful and gripping appeal for justice that will be shown in practically all of the twenty thousand moving picture theatres of the United States. This will result in a great service to the colored race in making them better understood and removing race prejudice wherever it exists. when they will prove by their actions and investments in advancing the up-building of the race; when they will not be envious of the success of the associates in business; when they will make sacrifices, if necessary, for the good of the race and to improve conditions for the benefit of their children and grandechildren. With a population exceeding fourteen million colored people in the United States, the time it not far distant when the Negro will exert a powerful influence in walks of life. They will be represented strongly in Congress and State legislatures. They will have their own representatives in the motion picture industry producing the kind of pictures that they want which will have an upifting influence instead of those which are a travesty on the race.

They are men of practical experience who have the courage of their convictions. They are men of actions rather than words. They believe in "suiting the action to the word, the word to the action." They possess energy, self-reliance and decision of character. Appreciating the importance of moving pictures, they have already enlisted the aid of leaders in the motion picture industry in New York and have been assured that the best talent in the country and the most successful business management is at the service of the colored race in the production of one or more motion picture dramas that will be the talk of the nation. The present movement, which had its inception in Washington, is spreading to all parts of the country and is looking to aid not only the present generation, but to build for the future as well. It looks forward to the time when members of the colored race will not only preach but practice race solidarity; when Negro citizens will practice self-reliance and encourage enterprise among their own people; when they will prove by their actions and investments in advancing the upbuilding of the race; when they will not be unious of the success of the associates in business; when they will make sacrifices, if necessary, for the good of the race and to improve conditions for the benefit of their children and grandchildren.

They will be represented strongly in Congress and State legislatures. They will have their own representatives in the motion picture industry producing the kind of pictures that they want which will have an uplifting influence instead of those which are a travesty on the race. As a result of this movement the colored people will also have their own moving picture theatres in which they and their children can sit in the orchestra instead of in the gallery. That the colored people of both the North and South will support these theatres, owned and managed by their own race and showing their own splendid picture product, such theatres are now in successful operation in New York, Philadelphia, Washington, Willmington, Chicago and elsewhere. With the success of this movement race riots will become a thing of the past. It will make impossible the repetition of such a calamity as recently took place in Washington and Chicago, with all its attendant horrors. Then, and not till then, did the Negro realize the sad and unparadonable mistake he had made for years in supporting everything white and neglecting his own people. A powerful national organization to insure the success of the movement is now perfected. Prominent business and professional colored men in every state of the Union are wanted to become members of the Advisory Board.

With that object in view Col.

LOWDEN FAILS. --- It was quite embarrassing for the Negro delegates who attended the Twelfth Congressional Convention to throw a discord into the very harmonious session that prevailed during the election of the delegates to the National Convention a few days ago in this city. In offering a resolution to indorse Governor F. O. Lowden, we assume that Mr. Dyer acted in good faith and was ignorant of the fact that Lowden was objectionable to the Negroes because of the position he took during the East St. Louis massacre. But he is guilty of the sin of omission because he could have so easily found out how the large group of his constituency felt toward the Illinois Governor. The same thing is likely to happen on any occasion when the party leaders attempt to force upon the Negro men who may be objectionable to them for very good reasons. However, such embarrassment should never happen and the safest way to prevent it is for the party leaders to take some representative Negroes into the party councils. Men whose hearts beat Negro thoughts and whose sympathies are in accord with Negro suffering. That is the one great reason why the Citizens' Liberty League is contending for representation in the party councils. The thoughtful among our race have foreseen the danger, and they are daily trying to help to keep harmony in the Republican ranks. The party leaders think that the Negro will support any man whom they may select and call him a good fellow. But the time has come when the Negro shall refuse to support such men as Governor Lowden, regardless of who brings him out—From the Argus, St. Louis, Mo. vice president Chicago Clearing Land Association; Walter Clyde Jones, Jones, Addington, Ames & Siebold; John W.

It is a very good idea indeed to permit the electorate of this state to enjoy the right to vote for either Governor Lowden or General Wood for that is the only way to tell which one of these two clement and prominent presidential candidates will be entitled to mount and ride the presiedial goat or horse in Illinois. THREE MEN AT CHICAGO According to press reports, three men, two awarded candidates and one a possibility addressed a colored organization, in session at Chicago on Lincoln's birthday. Governor Lowden, of Illinois, the first speaker handed out a few glittering generalities, for which he received a reward of scant applause. Then came William Hale Thompson, Mayor of Chicago, who said: "If there is one great duty before the people of America today it is to uphold the Constitution," the Mayor said: "We see the sorry spectacle of violation of the constitution every day and the colored people and William Hale Thompson are going to stand by the constitution and fight for it to the last ditch. Wild cheering broke forth and hats were tossed in the air. Then came Major General Leonard Wood who ended an excellent address with these clear cut words: "Today the important thing is law and order. There is no group that stands for law and order more than you colored people. You should be protected from mob violence. You should have equal rights. There should be no class legislation. We should have a free and untrammeled United States." He was vociferously applauded.—From the Appeal, St. Paul, Minn, Feb. 28, 1920. BETHEL LITERARY SOCIETY On last Monday evening Attorney Willis E.

One of the paradoxes of present day Tife is that while the farm produces more ministers for the Chnstian Church than any other field of activity the problem of meeting the spiritual needs of the rural districts is one of ‘the most difficult the churches have to contend with. ‘The program of the InterChureh World Movement which co-operates activities of the Protestant Churches calls for adjustment of this condition. The problem will be dis camed by survey department represen tatives and speakers on ministerial re lief at the Illinois Pastors’ Conference tm connection with the Inter-Church World Movement, which will be held at Orchestra Hall, Chicago, March §, 9 and 10. Practically all Protestant ministers of Illionis will attend this conrerence. ‘That the situation is serious ma- terially as well as spiritually, is illus trated by the effort which the Inter Chureh World Movement is making to bring about a vigorous co-operative effort on the part of the churches to cope with the rural problem. The sur- vey which the American Education De- partment of the Inter-Church World Movement is making of the situation has shown that the rural church is not flourishing. For one reason, the farmer as advanced intellectually, and is not satisfied with the kind of service formerly held in his behalf. He and the family get into the automobile and go to the nearest big town for church, ‘when they go to church at all. An- other reason is that the churches have not attempted to meet the needs of the isolated districts. The whole problem is intermixed with those kindred prob- Jems of a falling off of interest in farm life and the abandoned farm, which are exciting the alarm o the economists. Some idea of the problems which confront the church is to be had from ‘the faet that the Ohio Rural Life So- siety found that of 1,515 churches in 31 counties, more than two-thinds were arrested or dying. Again, in Ohio, the only state completely surveyed an yet, the open country churches were found to be 2 per cent worse off than town ehurehes and more than twice as bad as the village church in arrested de- ¥elopment. & survey of the rural dis triets of Illinois, and’ the entire state is now being made by the Inter-Church World Movement, to determine condi. tions in this state.

Major Lyncl declares that “his administration would be broad, liberal, fai and just to all races, classes and groups of which our citizen ship is composed.” Very few men, either white or col- oral, are more favorably or better known in this country than Major John Roy Lynch, for he has been iu the public eye for many years and for over # half of a century he has had mort distinguished and honorable pub lie career; he was a member of Con: gress; for some years from Miss he served with great credit to himself, to his race, to his country as fourth auditor of the navy and as pay master in the United States Army; he was elected temporary chairman of the Republican National Convention which was held in this city in 1884; defeat- ing Powell Clayton of Arkansas who was at that time one of the most pow: erful and prominent leaders of the Republican party in the Southland, at which time James G. Blaine, the Plumed Knight of Maine; was nomi- nated for President of the United States. Major Lynch who with Mrs. Lynch reside in a very beautifal home of their own at 4352 Forrestville avenue, this city, is one of the few surviving members of the race who were active jand prominent participants in all of the affairs in relation to reconstruc: tion in the South and he is the author ‘of a highly interesting book entitled “Facts of Reconstruction,’” possessing a ripe knowledge of public men and measures and with his wide acquaint- = which extends from coast to coast and from the frozen regions of the ex- treme north to the sunny clime of the far Southlond, he is therefore familiar with the attitude of the public meu or statesmen or the leading -or the most important questions of the ny.

In the following manner Major Lynch who is held in the highest esteem by the colored people of Chieago and by the colored people throughout this country loudly sounds the praise of General Wood. “I have known General Wood favor Jably and well for nearly twenty years Jand can therefore speak of him from personal knowledge and contact. “For President of the United States we would have in General Wood the right man in the right place. “Some say that we ought not to have a military man for president. We have had a military man for president immediately sueceeding every war in whieh our country hax been engaged. Why not follow that custom now, in view of the indisputable fact that we Jhave in General Wood a man that will measure up to the requirements of the Joceasion in every particular? ““The present abnormal eonditions Jgrowing out of the recent world war render it imperative that we place in the presidential chair a man of the ex perience, ability and calibre of General Wood. He is not merely a military ‘man. He has demonstrated remark able and splendid exeeutive and 2d. ministrative ability and eapaeity in every station he has been ealled upon to fill. It was my good fortune to serve him as an army officer while he was the military governor of Cuba. It will not be denied that that country never had a better administration than it had under General Wood. “General Wood docs not pose as the -pecial friend and champion of any one race, class or group, but he believes in giving every one a square deal, re- gurdless of race, color or nationality, and that is all we ask, expect or desire. Racial proscription and official segrege tion will neither be countenanced nor tolerated by him. In matters of official tecognition the rule by which he will be governed will be merit and not race, fitness and not color. In other words no race or color line will be drawn by him or by any one else officially con nected with his administration.

By the favor of cireumstances, they have grown to be an element of very great importones im the American community.

Up to the present day, the error lias been to consider, in the United States as well as abroad, even in France, that the Negroes are naturally of an inferior race. Each day, how- ever, brings new evidences which tend to demonstrate the opposite of this theory. One must not forget that long before the modern era the black race has given to the world proof of its ors gration among the: ether races It would take rank ignorance or innate prejudice on the part of the best por tion of the anthropologists to allow proofs so evident to have been ignored. Let the subject be the powerful states of the Pharoachic age of ancient Egypt or let the subject be the grand| black empires of the Soudan, it is an incontestable fact that some Negro civ- ilizations have existed and lately have| been buried under the sands of the! desert.

Only sage of scientific observation has caused us to lose the sense of natural observation."” In that whieh concerns me, I have to declare, that, as well in South America as during my journey in Sen egal, the black gives proof of a bril- lianey of mind and of » faculty of reasoning which could be envied by many Europeans, I have had, as fore- man of the employee's force in tne Pressroom of the Tribune in Buenos Ayres, a Negro gifted with a faculty of comprehension and of a fine wit, qualities which made of him a precious collaborator. ‘To conclude ,let us say that the Ne- gro race, considered in the natural state, personifies the youngest branch of the grand family of nations; the qualities of the race predispose it to receive of the strongest and mont ad- vanced races, the direction of which it setually stands in need. Hence, it ix those dispositions which the conquer- ing nations are inclined to depreciate and hold in contempt, because they esteem themselves superior to those janews difference in color is not a sign of weakness. We possess an immense African tez Titory, therefore let us draw from that fact the proper inspiration regarding the notion of the equality of the white and black races and the work of Afr. can civilization will be more than a hope. It is necessary that economic Inws whieh are intended to rule workman- ship should be wise and liberal enoug’ to permit the blacks and whites to lve in peace by the fruits of their Inbor. ‘The Americans, who are people said to have a loyal heart. will obey. we doubt it not, these principles to re- establish onler at home.

For information address the secretary of the National Association of Negro Musicians, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. The organization tends to promote fellowship, fraternity, mutual encouragement and helpful criticism. Is it not true that professional jealousy is the bane of the Negro musician? Here is an opportunity to come together, to discuss conditions and the means of improving them, to pledge everlasting friendship and good will. Do you realize what a tremendous moral weapon the Negro holds by virtue of his wonderful music? Negro music if used as propaganda might easily become the most potent factor in ameliorating conditions, softening prejudice and creating an understanding between the races. Unquestionably it presents one of the most attractive phases of Negro temperament. CHICAGO'S HOUSING PROBLEM MADE WORSE BY POOR TRANSPORTATION AND HIGH FARES. Every European city that tries to solve its housing problem on scientific lines begins by making transportation cheap and adequate. It is only in America that transportation fares in cities have been systematically raised in the last year or two. And it is significant that the housing problem is more acute in American cities than anywhere else. We have discouraged home-building at a time when the need for new homes was never before as great. Granted that a "Co-operative Building Association" in Chicago, financed by public-spirited business men, can accomplish wonders. It can help, in a huge way. But the problem is one that can be permanently solved only when cheap and good transportation will start individual home-seekers, by tens of thousands, building on their own initiative. Remove the transportation deadline and you get better house-planning, better air and better surroundings for the upbringing of families and for the comfort and convenience of those whose business is in the city. The people are able to get better homes just in proportion as the bread-winners are able to cover the distance between home and business twice a day with ease, safety and speed. Practically all suburbs of Chicago have depended in their earlier days upon transportation by steam rail roads. The facilities of steam roads in upbuilding suburban communities are limited by their downtown terminals and comparatively high fares. Neither can the steam roads develop a strictly local service as completely as conditions require. They cannot except in a limited degree, do a local and a through transportation business at the same terminal. As suburbs continue to grow they demand emancipation from poor transportation facilities. As the intervening spaces between suburbs fill up they demand a more frequent service, with more stops, to meet local conditions. City-owned rapid transit lines are the only solution. Instead of injuring the present elevated roads and surface car lines they will create larger traffic for both. They will CREATE new volumes of traffic for themselves, because the people by hundreds of thousands will buy or build homes in the outlying districts. Every time Governor Lowen's utilities commission raises car fare it aggrivates the housing problem. And every struggle by the city authorities to keep car fares down and to improve transportation facilities is a fight for the people that will ultimately win. For no city of Chicago's size and spirit will be indefinitely crowded into a vice. It will burst its chains and the outlying districts will be filled up with more and better homes.—From the Chicago Herald and Examiner, March 4, 1920. CHILDREN'S BUREAU, U. S. DE PARTMENT OF LABOR, WASHINGTON. On Legislation for the Protection o Children Born Out of Wedlock. The purpose of the conference recently held in Chicago and New York under the auspices of the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor, in co-operation with the Inter-Ge Conference on Illegitimacy, was to obtain full and free discussion leading to a formulation of principles and an agreement on standards which should govern legislation for the protection of children born out of wedlock. The conference emphasized the rights and responsibilities of the child, the mother, the father and the State, with general agreement that the welfare of the child is of amount importance. It was pointed out that the machinery and methods employed for the welfare of children of illegitimate birth must be flexible, and that justice can be obtained only by treating each case carefully and considerately as an individual problem. The need for wisdom and sympathy in directors and agents of public and private bodies and for adequate administrative organization was brought out. Minnesota, through legislation passed in 1917, affords a greater amount of protection to children born out of weldock than does any other American state. In most of the United States, as Professor Ferund pointed out, the legislation for the support and care of these children is achaie. The minimum standards common to both conferences are as follows: 1. Birth registration: All births should be registered, but in case of an illegitimate birth the name of the father should be recorded on the birth certificate only after an adjudication of paternity or on the written consent of the father. Adjudications of paternity should be reported by courts to the birth registration authorities. Records of births out of wedlock should be confidential, open to inspection only upon order of court, and transcripts for school or work purposes should omit facts concerning parentage. 2. Reporting to administrative agency: All births not clearly legitimate should be reported to a properly authorized public agency. 3. Establishment of paternity: Proceedings to establish paternity should be instituted by the mother. If she is unwilling, and the public agency above referred to deems it advisable, in the interests of the child, proceedings should be instituted by the public agency. The law should provide for either a civil or criminal proceeding; and the court given jurisdiction should be one of socialized experience and equipment, and the proceedings should be as informal and private as possible. 4. Father's responsibility for support of child: The father of child born out of wedlock should make financial provision for the adequate care, maintenance and education of the child having reference to the father's economic condition. The court should have continuing jurisdiction with reference both to custody and support during the minority of the child; the acceptance of lump-sum payments should be in the discretion of the court; and settlements out of court in order to be valid should be approved by the court. 5. Inheritance and name: After an adjudication of paternity or an acknowledgment in writing by the father, the child born out of wedlock should have the same rights of inheritance as the child born in wedlock. Assumption of the name of the father after adjudication of paternity should be permissive. 6. Care by the mother: The mother should be persuaded to keep her child during the nursing period at least, whenever possible, but the enactment of compulsory legislation is not recommended. Baby's Ruth often helps after baby brother, mother told her to side the bedroom door was crying. "W him to cry?" asked afraid he'll run his Sensitive The pendulum of the tower of the h in London is so de weight of only one particular part of after the rate of the per week. 7. State supervision: The duty of the State to protect the interests of children born out of wedlock is recognized and affirmed. With due allowance for local variance and need the conferences recommend the creation of state departments having responsibility for child welfare, whose duties shall include responsibility for assisting unmarried mothers and children born out of wedlock. The State should license and supervise private hospitals which receive unmarried mothers for confinement, and all private child-helping and child-placing agencies. Full opportunity should be afforded, however, for the development of private initiative, and there should be cordial co-operation between private agencies and the State. A joint committee representing the two regional conferences will be appointed by the Children's Bureau to formulate a single statement of principles based on the resolutions adopted by the conferences, and the proceedings of the conferences will be issued in printed form. Something Like a Memory Billie was heard to say to his pal Jack: "I can remember everything I did since I was three weeks old." After some hesitation Jack replied: "Oh, that's nothing. I can remember from the time the doctor said to me: 'Stand up. Sonny, and have your eyes put in.'" Remarkable Flight of Pigeon A homing Bolt bearing the name of Ben Bolt was announced as having established a new long-distance flight recr r of 2,200 miles in the summer of 1915, from Norwalk, Ohio, to Los Angeles, Cal. The bird made the trip in five nine hours and thirty-one minutes, arriving at Los Angeles August 30. Fili ino Wife's $status. In the Philippine islands, when women marry, they go into partnership with their husbands. While the men handle the workers, the women attend to the finance, act as cashiers, pay the workers and oversee much of .e. business. They also have equality with the men in everything except voting. Chinese in Java. The standard of living is probably higher in Java than any other Chinese community in the world. The houses are clean and well furnished, the people dress in European clothing, and every one has a great deal to say about dirt and sanitation. There are Chinese families in Java which have been there for five centuries, but the great majority of the 300,000 who live on the island have come there or are descended from those who came there in the last fifty years. Building Character It's folly to build with neutral materials. Character demands touch with God and co-operation with one's fellows. There may be some with desire to be considered clever who dare to assume positions that throw them into the limelight and the ridiculous. They may conjure up cute-sounding phrases trimmed to capture itching ears without giving a thought to what real meaning they may convey. It's dangerous to blow wholesale disaster upon those of other faiths. If men be given to folly it's your part to lead them to the truth—Grit. Panama Canal Zone. The United States did not acquire, by the I. miam canal convention of November 18, 1903, any title to territory in the Republic of Panama, but merely a perpetual right of occupation, use, and control over a zone of land ten miles in width, and covering an area of 4,364 square miles. For this privilege it id to Panama the sum of $10,000,000, and undertook to pay the sum of $250,000 annually so long as such occupancy continued. These payments began February 26, 1913. Scottish Center of Industry Dundee ranks as one of the leading industrial a and commercial centers in northeastern and central Scotland. The district of Dundee is the center of the jute industry in the United Kingdom and practically all the raw jute imported into the country, which averages 1,200,000 bales annually, is consumed there. It is the staple industry of Dundee and employs normally about 35,000 workers. Indians and Japanese. Professor Mena, Mexican scientist, went to Tehuacan in 1903 to investigate a story that in small towns near by Chinese talked in their own tongue to the Indians and were perfectly understood. He found the legend false. Japanese scholars visiting the Mexican museum have been surprised to find articles used by the Indians exactly the same as those used by Japanese peasants. Baby's Batteries. Ruth often helped her mother look after baby brother. One morning her mother told her to go and listen outside the bedroom door to see if brother was crying. "Why don't you want him to cry?" asked Ruth. "Are you afraid he'll run his batteries down?" Sensitive Pendulum The pendulum of the great clock in the tower of the house of parliament in London is so delicate that a small weight of only one ounce placed on a particular part of the apparatus will alter the rate of the clock one second per week. The Mind of a Woman "A woman is more religious than a man," says Dr. A. T. Schofield in "The Mind of a Woman." There is more of the emotional and the mystic, Women, being more emotional than men, are pre-eminent in the spiritual life, for love is their nature more than it is that of men. The Muggletonians. This peculiar sect, founded by an English tailor named Muggelton in the seventeenth century, is not extinct. Muggeltonians, one of whose chief beliefs is that the "place of hell will be this earth when sun, moon, and stars are extinguished" still meet in London and Derbyshire. Value of Failure I pity the man who has no failures to his credit, whose way has been smooth and prosperous from beginning to end, because such a man is likely to be riding to the only tragic failure there is—that of life itself. The thing that most often tends to poverty is the thing we call success. If one's failures have been honestly achieved by hard and long-continued effort, they become highly useful and convincing—Irving Baccheller. Cling to Savage Customs Throughout the islands of the New Hebrides many of the primitive ceremonies are still performed. The "sing sing" ground is still kept in readiness for the periodical outbursts of feeling, when the islander dances his wild and sacred dances to the ghastly music of the drums. Watching one of these weird reeds followed by an orgy of eating, or more correctly stuffing, it seems to the observer that the New Hebrides race is destined to continue until it dies out a savage, or, at best, semi-civilized people. Wanted Blame Properly Placed. Rosemary, aged four, and her twin sisters, aged two, were left in the care of a friend who also had three children of about the same ages. During the afternoon the friend heard one of the children in her pantry and, thinking to frighten the child out of the pantry without going in, said: "I hear some one in my pantry." Rosemary quickly walked over to her and said: "It's not any of ours; it's one of your own." Oddities of Chinese Market Day. Market day in China usually affords many quaint sights to the foreigner. As the country is one largely devoid of vehicles, the commodities to be offered for sale are carried to the market places in many odd ways; by wheelbarrow, on manback, poised on the heads of women, or swung to a pole borne on the shoulders of two carriers. Is there such a thing as seeing into the future? Yes. Here is one of the many testimonials to the solemn gift: When the Empress Josephine of France was a girl in Martinique, an old colored woman, named Euphenia, "told her fortune." "You will marry a fair man. Your star promise+ two alliances. With your first husband you will have a tragical lawsuit. Your second husband, a dark man of slender means, will fill the world with his fame and glory. You will be greater than 'queen.' You will die unhappy." The entire prediction came true. For State Builders They who preach patience to the peoples as the sole remedy for the lills by which they are oppressed, or who, while they admit the necessity of a contest, would yet leave the initiative to be taken by their rulers, do not, to my thinking, understand the state of things coming upon us. . . It is not enough to preciate a monarchy into a gulf; the gulf must be closed up, and a durable edifice erected on its site—From "Faith and the Future," by Mazinl. Snowstorms Form in Warm Climates Potentially snow storms form in general region of warmth, strange as it may seem. The area of low barometric pressure, or storm sea, comes whirling eastward across the Gulf states and then generally takes a twist northward along the Atlantic seaboard. When sufficiently far north these warm air currents are chilled and the moisture becomes snow, very often be'ng borne to the earth by the back draft of east wind. Character Revelation Not merely speeches prepared, orations delivered, sermons preached, but what a man says and how he says it to his neighbors friend, to his acquaintance or customer, to his father or mother, his wife or child across the breakfast table; this is what counts, for it reveals him off his guard and taken unawares, not as he would wish to be; not even as he would wish to be thought to be, but as he actually is, and it marks him with an indelible mark.—Exchange LEONARD WOOD For President of the United States Do you want a man of his or Help show the sentiment of Presidential preference primary Please sign this coupon and Name ...

It has been discovered that the hot mineral waters of Bath, England, will permanently tint glass, and it seems possible that the well-known health resort may become a famous glass-staining center. A wood superstition not well known except among the southern negroes is that evil will follow if you touch the large patches of brown froth, frequently seen on stumps and rotten logs known generally as snake split. Poor Time Ahead. Mother was going to take Billy visiting with her, so while dressing him she said: "You must be good today, exceptionally good, because Aunt Hattie is going to be there and she doesn't like noisy boys." "O, gee," said the youngster, "I see where I'm going to have a rotten time." The warders of the tower of London were first styled beefeaters in the reign of Edward VI. The word was probably derived from the French buffeter, signifying literally "to eat beef." It was used in connection with the yeomen of the guard, originating at the coronation of Henry VII, in 1485. It surprised me to find on investigation that "touching wood" as a supposed safeguard from the consequences of ejection or bracing is a superstition of ancient origin. Authorities on these mythological matters tell us that "it dates from the time when the oak, the ash, the rowan (or mountain ash) were held sacred to the gods of the heathen." In the early days of the fire insurance business each company in London maintained its own fire brigade. In those days a citizen might go out into the street and shout "Fire!" as loudly as he liked, but unless he had paid his insurer a premium no fireman would lift his finger or a bucket to save his possessions from burning. In the Indian ocean is a curiosity called the "drum fish," which the island and fishermen of the Seychelles, Amirantes, etc., often take with hand lines and which is highly esteemed as an article of food; it has earned its name from its habit of making a booming noise when pursuing or pursued; in size and taste it is not unlike the cod. It is just about impossible to say where the largest organ in the world is, because t eve is always one being built that it is bigger than the last. There are many large organs in England, and in the United States. Sydney, Australia, claimed, some years ago, to have the largest organ in the world, but, like ships, they are always increasing in size. Foot Square and Square Foot. A mathematician says there is no difference in area or quantity of surface between a foot square and a square foot, but there may be a difference in shape. A foot square must be a rectangular surface having four equal sides, measuring one foot long each. A square foot may also be a foot square, but it may be irregular in shape, say six inches wide and two feet long, or any shape so long as the area is equal to 144 square inches. The peanut is a member of the pea family and the "nut" is more accurately described as a pod. It is grown from seed in many tropical and subtropical lands, a long warm season being necessary for its maturity. It flowers above ground, then the stem bends downwards, the young pod enters the soil and there matures. No roots are ever attached to the nut; the fibers, mistaken for them, are from the stem.

MINTOL OFTEN PQEVENTS PNEUMONIA. It is surprising to read in the daily papers of treatments that our fore-legs suffer from coughs, colds, catarrh and bronchial affections. It impresses the writer that research had not advanced an anjota, when, as a matter of fact, there have been advancements in the treatment of all the conditions that bring on disease. Just because grandmother used old-fashioned and congested conditions it is no sane reason why we should resort to them. There have been such wonderful improvements and new discoveries of remedies that more effective and painful to use.

The druggist suggested the druggist's suggestion and in twenty-four hours the same customer came into the drug store and they hand MINTOL?" The druggist replied that he had been handling it for some little time and that customer would use it. He would use mustard cream or plaster for colds, coughs, or any congested conditions again.

Hundreds of treasured camoes and intaglios, for which large sums have been paled, are spurious, although many of them are masterpieces of art. To such an extent have camoes been forged that, after a certain French count had spent $25,000 in forming a collection, so many forgeries were found among them that, in despair of separating the false from the true, he parted with the lot for a fraction of what they had cost him. Historians tell us that, in prehistoric times, mighty mastodons and mammoths were covered from head to tail with a very coarse hair which, in many cases, grew long. So the elephant's forefathers had long hair but, as the world changed with regard to weather conditions, from the bitter frosty giaciers that were encountered to the modern climate of extreme heat and cold, the elephant gradually doffed his overcoat. The hair sometimes seen on the top of his head alone remains as a reminder. 3 Patriot American STRONGN HOUSE The Sign of Justice With Us in a Saving Account Daily Thought Forgad Cameos Hairy Elephants JESSE BINGA, BANKER FIRST REAL ESTATE MORTGAGES NEGOTIATED AND FOR SALE Houses, Apartments, Buildings and Stores.

The proper diet of chameleons and lizards consists of flies and other insects; also meal worms, and the common idea that sugar and water will serve in winter is incorrect. A good many of these animals refuse food in the winter months and all of them need warmth and sunshine, as well as water. They are difficult to keep in health, and if not given their natural food will starve to death in time, though their ability to fast for long periods is well known. Solitudes of the Earth. The Bushmanland desert, in southwest Africa, is but little known. A few nomads—some of European and some of mixed descent—hang on its fringe. Here and there mat-house villages, whose dwellers depend on the sparse bounty of the sky, will perhaps be found for a season. Otherwise it is a barren desert of 50,000 square miles.

When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead.—Beecher. Lumberjack's Appetite. We heard some time ago that the managers of the lumber camps had decided to refuse free feeds to the vagrant lumberjacks, drifting from camp to camp, but not till we saw a lumberjack eat did we understand the fine impulse that led to the decision. After eating his fill, if one of the fellows should try to push his way down a logging road, he would get stuck between the trees and probably stay there until he starved.—Detroit News.

It's not particular about the residence of its beneficiary. It finds the simple Maid of Orleans and makes her a great factor in history. It takes the youth, Luther, and makes him the reformer of religion. It has taken men from the plow, the garret, the sculery and raised them to eminence. It has also used the son of the mansion. It knows men as fit expressions of its purpose and not as individuals. It is limited only by the power of the soul to match itself with the great need.—Exchange.

Canine Altruism The dog is not only a social animal but has the rudiments, at least, of altruism. I once saw a dog jump into a river and swim down to another and younger dog, which had been sweeping along by the current and who was trying in vain to make a landing where the bank was steep and slippery. If every attempt his class slipped; he was losing his head; he was growing weak. The older dog pushed him downstream to a safe landing then went on about his business, as if it were a mere detail.—American Magazine. on Blank and Mail it to $1.00 FOR 6 MONTHS. $2.00 PER YEAR. e enter my name as a subscriber herewith Two Dollars, the annual dollar for six months.
