Everything in relation to the whole event reflected undying credit upon Prof. and Mrs. Aaron E. Malone, the founder and the President of Poro College, and upon the race which they so ably or fittingly represent in St. Louis, Mo., and throughout the civilized world. As stated elsewhere in this paper that Poro College occupies a frontage two hundred by two hundred and fifty feet, that the building is strictly modern in every respect, including an automatic elevator for the use of the guests, which requires no operator; there are also other elevators in each building; both buildings are heated by the latest hot water system; two hundred persons can easily be seated in the main dining room at one time, and with its artistic and enchanting decorations it is a wonder to behold. Aside from the main dining room Prof. and Mrs. Malone, have a grand private dining room which will seat fifteen or twenty persons, and in every respect it is simply a dream with its fine, costly silver plate and with its heavy carved mahogany furniture and other rich furnishings, it will more than favorably compare with the dining rooms of the wealthiest white millionaires in this country. One side of the main building contains the large lobby which is occupied by both men and women and the men remove their hats on entering it from the grand promenade, which reminds one of Peacock alley in the Congress Hotel, and there is no smoking nor noisy, loud talking in the lobby on the part of the men guests, and at no time does any of the men help around the buildings indulge in any coarse or vulgar language, nor holler or shout at each other in a loud voice from one end of the building to the other. Next to the grand promenade comes the ice cream parlor and confectionery store, the millinery store, tailor shop and barber shop. The general offices are on the main floor of the Annex side of the building and each and every business day in the year fifteen young Colored women stenographers are busily engaged in pounding away on their typewriters to beat the band, and with its three hundred Colored men and women on its payroll, Prof. and Mrs. Malone proudly state "that there is not one white person employed in Poro College in any capacity whatsoever, and that all the toilet articles which are all handled by seventy-five thousand agents throughout the United States and in other parts of the world are all thrown together or mixed up by expert Colored chemists who thoroughly understand their business from A to Z. As time moves on and on Professor and Mrs. Malone are planning to erect a large department store on some of the vacant ground owned by them; at the present time about two hundred feet of their real estate holdings right opposite of Poro, contains buildings which bring in considerable rent each month. On Friday afternoon Mrs. Buster-Shaffner, who up until a few years ago resided in this city, who is the mother of Mrs. Benjamin G. Johnson, who is now happily married to Mr. J. S. Shaff- THE BROAD AX ner and Mr. and Mrs. Shaffner own a lovely home at 4256 W. St. Ferdinand avenue, and on that afternoon Mrs. Shaffner escorted us to the Municipal Courts Building and her husband has charge of that building, also the City Hall, the City Jail House and the Juvenile Court Building and Mr. Shaffner very kindly conducted us through all of those buildings, while Mrs. Shaffner, who is also one of our lady friends, remained in his office and penned some letters, in passing through the jail we noticed the scaffold on the third floor of the jail, where it stands ready and waiting for its victims. In wending our way through the buildings we ran right into the two large rooms in the Juvenile Court Building which were filled with white girls and boys and with colored girls and boys, Mrs. Lyons was the motherly matron of the white girls and boys and she was ever so pleasant and with much pride she brought forth for our inspection many beautiful table scarfs, napkins and much other fancy needle work which had been wrought by some of the bright boys and girls who are in her charge, she also exhibited some nail and floor brushes which had been brought forth by them before withdrawing from the room Mrs. Lyons wanted to know if we would not speak a few words of encouragement to the boys and girls and impart some sound advice to them and after cheerfully complying to her request in that respect and after shaking hands with many of the little girls and boys Mrs. Lyons escorted us into the rooms occupied by the colored boys and girls and introduced us to Mrs. Young, Matron or Superintendent, and Mrs. Lyons informed us. Young that we had addressed her children and that she must invite us to speak to the girls and boys under her control and after her many bright girls and boys had displayed the many lovely and useful articles which they had executed; in the way of fancy needle work, table scarfs, floor brushes and many other articles of true merit, in fact the children drink in a regular course in industrial training and with much pleasure we delivered the best talk that we were capable of delivering and told several stories in connection with our talk and at the conclusion we urged the girls and boys to refrain from fighting, using bad language, to be polite to each and every person whom they come in contact with, to be honest and truthful, to be kind and considerate for the rights of others as they approached womanhood and manhood, that someone would stretch forth, a strong and helping hand to assist them along the roadway or the highway of life. On leaving the City Hall on Saturday morning after our delightful visit with Mayor Henry W. Kiel, we strolled along Market street—which is the S. State street in Chicago for colored people, but it seemed to us that there are more colored people in business on State street and in other parts of this city than they are in any part of St. Louis, of course Poro College is the greatest business enterprise conducted by colored people in that city. Continuing our way on towards Poro we visited City Hospital No. 2, which is exclusively for colored people, it is owned by the city of St. Louis and the colored people can shoot and cut each other up to their heart's content for CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1920. THE BROADWAY THEATRE everything is free to them in City Hospital No. 2. Dr. Roscoe C. Haskell, who is a graduate from the Medical Department of the Howard University, is its efficient Superintendent and with pleasure he escorted us through the hospital which is right up to date in every respect, all of the assistants and the rest of the help are colored except the head nurse who is a white lady. We also visited the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A and greatly enjoyed our visit to them and from there we managed to arrive back to Poro, just in time to ease into the group of editors and other visitors before the flash-light picture was taken in the lobby of Poro College. ALLIED BANKERS' AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. National Negro Banking Program—Gigantic Enterprise for Negro Economic Development To Be Launched By Representative Group of Negro Bankers and Business Men.

MANY PUBLIC USHERED IN It seems that all the big and up-to-date editors except Col. George L. Knox, Editor of the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind., and the writer struck St. Louis without their full dress suits and every evening Col. Knox would proudly strut into the dining room with his head high up in the air, as though he was walking the dog with the writer gracing his heels togged up in the same manner. In passing it may not be out of place to state that St. Louis is divided off into 28 wards, that there is one Alderman to each ward, that the City Fathers are elected by running all over the city by a majority vote and that they are not elected within the bounderies of any one ward, that the President of the Council is elected by a majority vote of all the people and he always presides over the City Council instead of the Mayor of St. Louis; that the Sergeant-at-arms of the City Council is a bright colored man and he draws down the same as its aldermen, eighteen hundred dollars per year. In conclusion we must pause just a minute to express our thanks to Miss Minnie De Haven, Poro College (Information) for being so kind in the way of hunting up telephone numbers for us and in seeing to it that no one ran over us in any respect and that we got everything that we were entitled to receive while greatly enjoying yourself at Poro College; Miss De Haven, like the writer, is a true blue Virginian and she is well fitted in every way for the important position she occupies at Poro.

ALLIED BANKERS' AND INDUSTRIAL CORPORATION. National Negro Banking Program—Gigantic Enterprise for Negro Economic Development To Be Launched By Representative Group of Negro Bankers and Business Men. (Special to The Broad Ax by Norman L. McGhee.) Washington, D. C.—Announcement has already been made by the decision of a group of colored men, representing colored banking institutions and Negro business, to put under way a national banking program looking to closer affiliation with metropolitan banking interests. Application for charter has already been made by the following colored bankers and business men: L. E. Williams, President, Wage Earners Savings Bank, Savannah, Ga.; Harry H. Pace, formerly Secretary-Treasurer, Standard Life Insurance Company now President, Pace & Handy, New York City; E. C. Brown, President, Brown & Stevens, Bankers, Philadelphia, Pa., and President, Quality Amusement Corporation; John E. Nail of Nail & Parker, Real Estate, New York City; J. S. Jones, Secretary-Treasurer, Tidewater Bank & Trust Company, Norfolk, Va.; Charles Banks, the leading factor in the development of the Negro town of Mound Bayou Miss.; and Emmett J. Scott, Washington, D. C. The new enterprise is to be known as the Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation. Just a Miss (In the way for the ran we got used to like, like, like for the man way for the men at The Allied Bankers' and Industrial Corporation will, it is thought, eventually include the whole group of Negro banking establishments and serve as a clearing house for these Negro banks, for Negro Life and Fire insurance Companies, for manufacturing companies, and for Negro business generally. The corporation will also serve as a financial reservoir for the development of industry among the colored people of the United States. Representatives of metropolitan financial institutions are giving encouragement to the movement. The enterprise is to be owned by and operated wholly in the interest of and for the economic development of the race. The incorporators of the new concern are to meet in New York City shortly for purposes of organization. Contracts, prospecti, etc., are now being printed and by the opening of the new year a new one million ($1,000,000) dollar concern will have been launched by the strongest group of Negro financial interests ever joined together in an allied movement. MANY PUBLIC OFFICIALS WERE USHERED IN TO THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICES IN THIS CITY AND COUNTY, MONDAY AND TUESDAY OF THIS WEEK. The first of this week all of the county officials, also the Judges of the Municipal Court were installed into their respective offices or positions in the midst of many charming ladies and thousands of dollars worth of costly and beautiful flowers.

STUMP, TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS WORKED HIS WAY ON TO FORT WORTH, TEXAS, AND OTHER POINTS IN THE SOUTH WEST. Ft. Worth, Tex.—Gov. T. W. Bickett is a man every inch of him, and I take off my hat to him any where and everywhere. Not because of his color or because he has any particular love for me or my people, but he is Governor of North Carolina, and as such he believes and shows that he is governor of all the people. he had more cheek than money, but he had confidence in himself and the young lady had confidence in him. After marriage, they went to house keeping in a borrowed house, mark you borrowed and not rented. He had plodded along there doing his work well, making friends until the other day, he just put aside everything had I am unwilling to brand him as a friend to the Negro or any other one race or people, but I do say that he is the right man to hold the position that he holds at this time, and I would be willing to trust a man like this as President of the United States. The nation would be safe in his hands if the politicians would permit him to do his duty. I could just name the good things he has done since he has been Governor, and just last week there was an attempt to have a wholesale lynching, and believe me it was stopped by a bullet being landed in the eating part of the leader. I hope he will not die, but that it will be a lesson for him and all the other men who would break the law by taking from its custody a prisoner he be white or black. Unless we are able to stop lynching at home the whole civilized world is going to scorn us, and I don't blame them. But when we get men in the chair like Governor Biekett, Governor Morrow of Kentucky and a few others the thing is going to happen. I would be one more happy man if I could include Governor Brough in this number, because there were so many good things said about him, and he was at one time president of the Sociological Congress, and said many good things. But it is better to judge a man by his action rather than by his big speeches. Now you want to know what is the matter with me, and I will have to tell you if you will only give me time. There is to be a legal lynching in Arkansas at an early date unless there is the intervention of some unseen hand. It will be a blot on the state and many self-respecting people will leave the state, and I can't blame them. Six—no twelve men are now to be hanged or lynched in a chair by the decree of the court and unjust judge, and I am not thinking as many cuss words as I once did when I refer to this. Six men, have been denied a hearing by the Supreme Court of the United States, and it is only a question of a few days when the time for their death will be set, and perhaps later six others will follow. I am not going into the case because it has been reviewed by me and others. It is the Elaine story, and it is fresh on your mind. Let me get my mind off of this until next week, and then I am coming in full. I have been riding some as you know, for last week I was in St. Louis looking after the Poro College opening of that wonderful building, or the annex which makes it the more wonderful, for there is a steam laundry connected therewish, there is a bakery, where rolls, bread, cakes and pies are turned out, and the making of the Poro articles will be in that place. I could just write and write about it and when I get through still there would be something left unsaid. I spent two days there and mingled with some big people, believe me honey. Sunday night I left for Kansas City, spending Monday there with friends. I was under the weather, and Dr. S. H. Thompson, the grand chancellor for Kansas took me in charge, and said I ought to go to bed and remain there, but put me under some real medicine, and Mrs. Norene Davis, the grand worthy counsellor, was my nurse, and she took good care of me. You see I had grand attention and could not expect better treatment if I had been a real king. I am getting better, but believe me I am not well yet. Off for Texas, riding all day Tuesday, and all night Tuesday night reaching the city of Ft. Worth, Wednesday morning, and going direct to the home of Dr. N. T. Wallia, the tooth doctor dentist, a graduate from Moharry, Nashville, and a man of many parts. After finishing this young man found his way to Ft. Worth, took the examination and put out his shingle, without money enough to pay his first month's rent, but he got there just the same. Fitted up his office so as to be able to half soles teeth, put on patches, pull them out and make new ones. The second month, he had his rent, and a little over, and on and on he has gone up. Next station was marriage altar, and No.12 he had more cheek than money, but he had confidence in himself and the young lady had confidence in him. After marriage, they went to house keeping in a borrowed house, mark you borrowed and not rented. He had plodded along there doing his work well, making friends until the other day, he just put aside everything, had erected a fine home, 8 room house with all the latest improvements, stationary washtubs, boards, electric irons, vacuum cleaner, and everything else to make it easy for his wife. They have three children, one boy and two girls, the oldest is the boy and he is in school, and the other girl is in school while little Helen is attending kindergarten. She is five years old; Clotie, the other girl is 7 and Charles Oscar is now 9 years old and a busy boy. Dr. Wallis represents the possibility of the young man with puck and push. He is going right on to the top, and I am told that he is one of the first tooth detintr doctors in this state. I am proud to learn the good things about him. I have been in touch with others. I came here to attend the North Texas African Methodist Episcopal Conference, presided over by Bishop William Decker Johnson. You will be delighted to know that he is making it. That is to say, he is making friends, and he is making his way up in the world. There was no mistake made when he was elevated to the episcopacy last May. Texas men made a good choice, and I am delighted to be able to tell you about it. There are some strong men in Texas, and if the church desired to do so, it could get all the bishops for the next 30 years right in Texas. Some of these aspirants are scholars, and others are just good preachers, but I am not prepared to say which is which or which is the other yet. I know I have met Dr. G. B. Young, and he is a scholar of the first water, and there is Dr. E. J. Howard, Dr. H. A. Carr, Dr. D. S. Moton, of Latin fame; Dr. R. S. Jenkins, is still in the race, and he has done some great work. Rev. P. C. Hunt, has been announced by others, and they are his friends who want to see him to the front. Rev. S. J. Johnson, wants to be secretary of Church Extension, which is his rights, but Dr. B. F.Watson, is the best secretary the church has ever had, and he is going to be kept there during his natural life, and all because he understands the business and knows how to do it. Dr. Watson is one of the finest men I have ever met, and all because he is well trained, and knows a thing or two. It would pay you just to sit down and talk with this wonderful character. Rev. V. M. Townsend is still in the ring, and it strikes me that he is going to carry off that plum. Keep your eye on Dr. J. C. Caldwell, for if there is a man in all the world who should be promoted he is that man. I was there to see him, and to hear him. There are others I shall mention another time. Look out for me in another letter, please. I want to pay my respects to Dr. G. E. Edwards, president of Kittrell College, for he is one of the best schooled men in the race, and while he is not making any fuss he is just doing his work. Give us more like him. I want to discuss the work of the North Carolina Mutual, the new fire insurance company, and other enterprises in another letter. Please give my love to all friends asking about me, and tell them if they desire to let me have a Christmas present to send it to me at 5922 Aberdeen street, Chicago, Ill. I will have to bring this letter to a stop right now. FIRST COLORED WOMAN INSPECTOR. Philadelphia, Pa.—The first colored woman to be an assistant inspector of housing and sanitation in the Bureau of Health has been appointed to that position. She is Miss Mayme D. Turner. Miss Turner was appointed from an eligible list on which she stood first, with an average of eighty. The list contained the names of seven candidates, of whom the first two were women, including Miss Turner, and the remaining five, men. It is expected that Miss Turner's services will be especially valuable.

MALONE FOR THEIR LIBERALITY IN ENTERTAINING THE NEWSPAPER EDITORS WHO WERE PRESENT ON THAT LONG-TO-BE-REMEMBERED OCCASION, FROM MANY PARTS OF THE COUNTRY. Last Wednesday evening at 11:45 jo’elock the writer boarded the finest land the fastest train running between this eity and St. Louis, Mo., over the Chicago and Alton Railroa/2, the ‘‘Only Way’? headed for the city which had jalways in the past been famous for its larger beer, the long train consisting of Pullman Palace cars had scarcely gotten under good headway before we had curled up or down in our berth ‘and had become absolutely dead to the world, its troubles and its sorrows and we slept sound all night long while the ‘engine pulling the long train of solid steel cars went puffiing, panting and tearing out over the country at the rate of almost fifty miles per hour, like unto 8 mad demon. Promptly at 7:30 a. m. on Thursday morning the train pulled into the Union Station af St. Louis and » big touring car was in waiting on the outside of the depot ready to convey us and our suit ease to Poro College for it seemed that all roads lead to ‘‘Poro Cotner’’ as we approached within three or four blocks of Poro we observed that all the people had their neat and tidy looking homes decorated with the American flag gently swinging to the breeze in honor of the big and history making celebration. On entering the grand promenade which leads into the spacious lobby, the first person to warmly greet us was Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro College, Mrs. Malone is a lovely woman and ever so charming, she is always so modest and unassuming, ebe is plain and very simple in her manner and she always bas a pleasant smile for every one she comes in contact with and just as we had informed Mrs. Malone that “‘she was looking ever so eharm- ing and beautifal’? up rushed Prof. Aaron E. Malone, President of Poro College, he grabbed us by both hands and ‘‘exelaimed Mr. Taylor, Mrs. Ma- lone and myself arp both awfully glad to see you and we want you to enjoy yourself and have a delightful time as one of our special and honored guests.’ Prof. Malone, who was for some years Principal of the Colored Schools of Quincy, Ill, talks very sharp and right to the point and he is fully eapable of rransacting a large volume of business in a short space of time. Shortly after enjoying our morning repast all the visiting newspaper edi- tors. and other visitors attended Thankagiving morning servicos at St. James A.M. E. Church which is almost part of Poro, for its Pastor, Rev. W. H. Peek, is the Soperintendent of Poro, and each morning before the employes begin their labors for the day he con- juets religious services in its home ke chapel or enditorium which will eat almost eight hundred people, Rev.

Knox, who i: straight and as tall as an Indian an¢ his thick head of hair is as white a lamb’s wool, before resuming his seat poked a little fun at the writer on ac count of our bald head. Thursday afternoon all the editors jand other visitors were present at the spirited foot-ball game between the ‘Sumner High School team and tho Lin- coln High, East St. Louis, and in the final count or seore the Lincoln High licked the living life out of the Sum- ner High School team, Hon.

Mayor Kiel was warmly received when he rose to address the large num- ber of prominent men and women pres- lent. He is a very pleasing speaker. He did not start in by telling any fun- Iny stories at the expense of any race lor anybody. On the contrary, he talked plain, eommon horse sense right from the shoulder He paid a high tribute to Prof. and Mrs, Malone and Jdeclared that they ranked among the best and most progressive citizens in this country; that they are a great honor to their race and to America; that they are living examples of what the colored race is fully eapable of ne- complishing in such a short space of time while on the road fo absolute freedom; that he and his fellow white citizens of St. Louis are proud of the Malones. Among the many other good things stated by Mayor Kiel was that he had eome up from the ranks of the laboring classes, that he was a brick layer by trade, that he had always been able to lay as many bricks as any man in St. Louis, that he had always been friendly disposed toward worthy, re- spectable and law abiding colored peo- ple, that the young colored boys and girls must constantly strive to drink in all the eduention that they possibty can, thereby fitting themselves to oc- cupy the most responsible positions in life; that with plenty of free education for all classes of American citizens that from now on it is up to the pres- ent and coming generations of colored people to make good for themselves; that they must save their money, buy homes which will at all times eause them to beeome more self-respecting and jaw-abiding. In winding up his splendid soul-in- spiring oration, Mayor Kicl exclaimed! that at any time that any of his col-} yred friends wished to see him thoy sould come right down to the eity hall, that he had no lock or key on the door leading into his private office, that it always swings both ways for every- body from the highest to the humblest itizen of St. Louis, white or black, as well as for the stranger within its}: proad walls, that he felt highly hon- : A . \ <= 4 COL.

DEATH OF EARL D. BONDS. Earl De Courtney Bonds was born in Chicago, Ill., March 10, 1894. He attended the Parker Practice School and Englewood High School. He professed faith in a personal Savior through the efforts of Sister Johanna P. Moore at Bereau Baptist Church, where he attended Sunday School. Later he united with the Bethesda Baptist Church, where he worshiped Sunday and partook of the Lord's Supper.

He professed faith in a personal Savior through the efforts of Sister Johanna P. Moore at Bereau Baptist Church, where he attended Sunday School. Later he united with the Bethesda Baptist Church, where he worshiped Sunday and partook of the Lord's Supper. Earl was endowed with an especially amiable disposition and was well liked by all, who knew him. He was married to Miss Susie Christopher, July 29, 1917. At the time of his death he was an employee of the Grand Trunk Railroad and a member of the Railroad Men's Association, Local No. 7. The departed leaves a wife, a mother, three sisters and a niece to keep him in memory. Earl has gone to join his father and sister and be with God, where all is joy, peace and love.

THE BROAD AX, DECEMBER 11. 1920 THE BROAD AX HALL OF FAME Mr. W. H. Davis, one of Chicago's leading chiropodists, is a man of fine spirit and wide influence. One of the live wires of The People's Movement, and a valuable aid to the valiant leader, Hon. Oscar DePriest. Mr. Davis has always stood for the development and aggressive spirit of his people in Chicago, and is always alive to the needs of his people in their civic affairs. The boys all like the doctor; in fact, he has a multitude of friends. ```markdown ``` Capt. James S. Nelson won fame in Houston, Texas. When Liberty bonds were to be bought to boost the Eighth Regiment in their pursehase, it is said that Lawyer Nelson bought bonds by the hundreds. He is a member of The People's Movement and the treasurer of the same. Organizations of like nature owe much to sturdy, stalwart men of this stamp. Charles Duke, secretary of The Pyramid Building and Loan Association, is an electrical engineer of reput, having done valuable service for the city of Chicago. He is a scholar and a brave man that has stood the test. Progressive spells the same thing when we mention Mr. Duke's name. A fine fellow that knows and does the true and noble things. Delbert Lawrence Lee, builder of the great Appomattox clock, is a finished cabinet man, as noble as a prince. A man who looks up and forward with the true ring of the aristocrat, but kind and generous to a fault. You may be well acquainted with him, you think, but you may not know him at all if you have not searched deeply into the treasure of his rich mind. Delbert surprises us all whenever he has a mind to do so. . . . Edward D. Green was one time ceaw of the old second ward, and politician. He also knows a thing or two about the lodges, and will again make himself felt in the life of our city. Ex member of the Legislature, and a good fellow at the clubs, and banquets, a big K. of P. and a taxpayer are features in the life of a man that count. We like to meet him, because he is a man of most excellent poise. Mr. C. N. Langston is beginning to loom large upon the horizon of our civic life. He is the cashier of the Binga State Bank, and with a ripe experience at banking, covering a period of twenty years, we may expect the great financial enterprise controlled by Mr. Binga to flourish by the great assistance of Mr. Langston. COL. THEO. ROOSEVELT'S RELIGION. Essence of Colonel's Creed Container in One Verse of Micah. "I wonder if you recall one verse of Mieah that I am very fond of—'to do justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with thy God'—that to me is the essence of religion," said Col Roosevelt, according to John J. Leary, Jr.'s "Talks with T. R." (Houghton, Mifflin Co., Boston). "To be just with all men, to be mereful to those to whom mercy should be shown, to realize that there are some things that must always remain a mystery to us, and when the time comes for us to enter the great blackness, to go smiling and unafraid. "That is my religion, my faith. To me it sums up all religion, it is all the creed I need. It seems simple and easy, but there is more in that verse than in the involved rituals and confessions of faith of many creeds we know." "To love justice, to be merciful, to appreciate that the great mysteries shall not be known to us, and so living, face the beyond confident and without fear—that is life." THE COLORED WOMEN ARE WIDE AWAKE DOWN IN GEORGIA. Atlanta, Ga.—Protest against using funny pictures of Negro babies for advertising purposes and comical postcards has been entered by Mrs. Alice Cary, president of the Federation of Negro Women's Clubs in Georgia. The protest was read before the convention of the Federated Clubs to Georgia and a resolution offering the co-operation of the state federation to the Negro federation was adopted.

AT BAILEY'S HALL The officers and members of the Virginia Society will meet in their regular monthly meeting Wednesday evening, Dec. 15, at Bailey's Hall, 3638 S. State street. All Virginians invited to be present. Washington, D. C.-for promoting the discussion of university problems and the exchange of ideas among the many new departments of the Howard University, a series of Faculty Round Tables has been substituted for the usual Faculty Club organization. The latter organization had lapsed for a period of two years owing to the employment of so large a part of the staff in various forms of war teaching and service. The present scheme is to have each department in rotation conduct a Round Table meeting, followed by general discussion and social entertainment. The first of these Round Table discussions was held at the home of President and Mrs. Durkee, University Hill Thursday evening, November 4, administrative problems being discussed by President J. Stanley Durkee and Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of the University. They were followed by Professor William A. Hazel, instructor in architecture, who discussed the form of architecture which should be followed in future buildings to round out the University buiding program. The program for the current year is as follows: The Administrative Officers and the Department of Architecture, November 4, "Architectural Development at Howard." The Department of English and Modern Language, December 2, "The Effect of the War Upon Literature." The Department of Music, January 27, "The Contribution of the Negro in Music." The Departments of Pure Science and Mathematics, February 24, "Recent Changes in the So-called Fundamental Theories of Science." The Departments of Sociology and Religion, March 31, "Social Service Agencies and Training in the American College." The Department of Education, April 28, "The Natoionalization of American Education." The Chairman of the respective departments or of the first named department will preside at each of the meetings. Departments not represented on this year's program will be asked to participate next year. HOWARD UNIVERSITY SETS NEW STANNDARDS OF ACADEMIC DISCUSSIONS. Washington, D.

Perpose is a fast swimmer. There is another mammal that is so fast one has ever been able to find out how fast he is. This is the perpose. The perpose can do stunts in front of the fastest boat that travels the bounding wave and when he is through after several hours of clowning he flirts his tail and nonchalantly speeds beyond the horizon.

The perpose can do stunts in front of the fastest boat that travels the bounding wave and when he is through after several hours of clowning he firts his tail and nonchalantly speeds beyond the horizon. The perpose will do his tricks under the bow of a nine-knot cargo tramp or a 22-knot ocean greyhound. He is like the antelope in that he sets his pace according to the speed of the pursuer.
