Most notable of all weddings following in the wake of the Lenten season was that of Miss Antoinette Dennis, B. N., formerly of Atlanta, Ga., to Mr. Samuel Matthews, W. M. Hiram Lodge No. 14, F. and A. M. The groom, on account of his high fraternal connections need no introduction, while the bride is one of the highly esteemed corps of nurses at the Oak Forest Sanitarium. The setting of this brilliant scene, which almost beggars description, was in the main auditorium of the Masonic Temple, 40th and South State streets, the hour high noon, Wednesday, March 20th. Never in the history of fraternal socializing, in this section, has there been an affair of such proportions and the entire ceremony was carried out on the Masonic square and compass. The hall was profusely decorated with the national colors which festooned the balcony, flowed in streamers from the lighting fixtures and formed the colors of a huge wedding bell suspended from the center of the ceiling, while in the background a sixteen foot American flag was draped over a huge square and compass. The Trestle Board Club Orchestra, hidden behind a screen of giant palms, furnished sweet music throughout the afternoon and evening. Considerably in advance of the hour set for the ceremony, chaufeurs of private and public conveyances were in line to set down the guests under the canopy which extended from the curb to the entrance. Men in formal attire, with high hats and English top coats and ladies gowned to the "last word" in Paris fashions, were handed out of limousines de lux and joined the waiting assembly. The entrance of the bridal entourage, numbering forty persons, was directed by gavel in the hands of the master of ceremonies, Mr. Thos. H. Samuels, M. W. G. M. of Most Worshipful Prince Hall Grand Lodge, State of Illinois and Juridition, who was seated at the head of the compass. To the strains of the Lohengrin the party entered and joined to their places, the bridesmaids on the north side and the groomsmen on the south side of the room, five Past Masters and five Matrons leading, namely, R. J. B. Ellington, Chas. T. Berry, J. W. Moore, R. E. Moore, Adam Horn; Measures Alice Archer, Birdie Mossette, Ida Walcott, Hattie Andrews.

Pelcolet, white gown with silver trimming; Mrs. Nol THE BROAD AX Messrs. R. G. Bell, A. A. Henderson, S. A. Lane, Henry Callaway, A. A. Pellebon, Wm. Wright, Mr. Darden, L. Cone, Wm. Perry. The entrance of the Rev. J. H. Chase, pastor of Calvary A. M. E. Zion Church, the officiating clergyman, supported on either side by Thomas and Arthur Purdue as altar boys, heralded the close up approach of the high contracting parties, led by the matron of honor, Mrs. Anna J. Powers, superb in white satin with tunic of gold lace, while very noticeable was a diamond studded locket suspended from a rare old gold chain; the ring bearer, Jay Powers, Jr; the flower girl, Jessadye Darden, and finally the bride on the arm of her twin brother, Mr. Edward Dennis, who gave his sister in marriage. Simultaneously with the entrance of the bride, the groom, supported by his best man, Mr. Jay Powers, entered from a door on the opposite side of the room and met his bride on the square beneath the huge wedding bell.

First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, one of the most popular public officials in the city hall, who will be elected one of the new Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County Tuesday, June 6. Hon. James W. Breen, the First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, who will if he lives be elected as one of the new Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County was born in this city August 31, 1873, receiving his early education in its public schools from which he in time graduated with all the honors due him. At the end of that period he attended the Bryant & Stratton Business College and the old Chicago Athenaeum where he completed his commercial education. Later on in life he graduated with the highest honors from the Law Department of the Lake Forest University, and he was admitted to the Chicago Bar and the Illinois Bar in 1897, and a short time after that date he received his commission to practice in the United States Supreme Court at Washington, D. C. It must be said to the everlasting credit of Mr. Breen that right from the very start he met with great success in the practice of his chosen profession and for many years he has been one of the popular members of the Chicago Bar Association. From 1907 to 1911 he served with honor to himself and to the citizens of Chicago as Assistant Prosecuting Attorney, under the late Mayor Fred A. Busse. In 1915 Mayor William Hale Thompson selected Mr. Breen as Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, and near the first of the present year he was chosen First Assistant Corporation Counsel and he is more than making good in that responsible and important position and continues to reflect great credit upon himself and upon the administration of Mayor Thompson.

Mrs. Charlotte Roberts Johnson, Lansing, Mich., is expected in the city in a few days to visit her many friends. Mrs. Johnson is better known to Chicagoans as Miss Roberts. was happily united in marriage to Miss May Lewis who is so loving and beautiful and Mr. and Mrs. Breen reside in a lovely home at 947 W. 54th place, and once each week The Broad Ax finds its way into their home as Mr. Breen who is one of the brainy and most popular public officials in the City Hall has for years been a strong supporter of this paper. In 1920, after a great fight with the aid of this paper, Mr. Breen was elected the Thompson Committeeman of the 30th Ward and all the people residing in that ward and in the Old Town of Lake are standing solidly behind him for the nomination and election as one of the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cook County for his well grounded legal training pre-eminently fits him for that honored position and he will make an ideal Circuit Court Judge. This coming Tuesday, April 5, the voters, both men and women, residing in all part of this city, will be called upon to march to the polls and elect a new City Treasurer and City Clerk and as all of the forces of Mayor William Hale Thompson are loyalty supporting Hon. Clayton F. Smith for City Treasurer he is bound to be elected with both hands down. As Alderman Smith has always stood by Mayor Thompson in the City Council and as he has always been friendly towards the colored people, Col. Charles E. Morrison, special messenger to Mayor Thompson and all the other colored men and women around the City Hall are plugging for his election to beat the band. As Warden of the Cook County Hospital Alderman Smith always dealt justly with all the colored people connected with that institution and he never displayed any narrow mindiness in permitting the whites to lord it over the colored people it is therefore the solemn duty that all of the colored people who follow in the footsteps of Mayr Thompson to rally to the support of Alderman Smith and on Tuesday April 5, assist to elect him City Treasurer of Chicago.

Aashie Jones, of the Ponces De Leon Baptist Church of Atlanta, Georgia, and a leader in the Interracial Commission, will deliver the annual address at the Founder's Day Exercises, which will be held on April 12th. Since the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington, it has become customary to set aside a day in the month of April to celebrate the day of his birth, which comes in April, and to pay tribute to his memory. Each year on this occasion, a speaker of national repute is selected to deliver the annual Founder's Day address. During the four years of this observance, the following men have delivered the principal address, respectively: Hon. William G. Willcox, New York City, Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute; Hon. P. P. Claxton, Commissioner of Education of the United States; Hon. Emmett O'Neal, ex-governor of the state of Alabama, and ex-President William H. Taft. This occasion is also the time of the annual visit of the Trustees of the Institute to the school. In accordance with this custom the Northern and Western members of the Board of Trustees, with their friends, will be present and expressions from them will be heard. An added feature of this year's observance will be the dedication of the new buildings. Among the edifices to be dedicated are James Hall, a dormitory for girls, erected by Mr. Arthur Curtius James of New York as a memorial to his mother, Mrs. Ellen Curtius James, five new Trades Buildings, which are replacing the one building which was destroyed by fire during the period of the war, and a new Horse Barn. This occasion will also afford the friends of Tunkegee Institute and the followers of Booker T. Washington an excellent opportunity to inspect the work and note the progress of the Institute and to renew their allegiance to the memory of the Founder. Dr. R. B. Moton, Principal, is extending a cordial invitation to all, to attend the Fifth Annual Observance of Founder's Day. Visitors will be guests of the pendant Jurisdiction, Bro. Thos. H.

Braddan dished up a tip-top annual Easter sermon for them. Hon. William H. Taft, in his address last year said. "Founder's Day at Tuskegee should be as important a day in the annals of the American Negro as Washington's birthday is to all Americans. As George Washington's life acts are valuable as an inspiration and example to all his countrymen so should the life and achievements of Booker T. Washington be to the men of his race." HAMPTON INSTITUTE GYMNA-SIUM PROGRAM Demonstration of Physical-Education Work—Presentation of Mrs. Dora Cole Nerman. Hampton, Va.—That physical education work has hygienic, educational and social values was shown at the recent fourth annual Hampton Institute gymnasium demonstration. The program represented the work done during the year under the direction of the physical directors—Miss Olive B. Rowell, Charles H. Williams and Charles P. Howard (Assistant). It was given with the idea of promoting wholesome recreation and of developing a greater public appreciation of physical education. Mrs. Dora Cole Norman of New York presented Coleridge-Taylor's "Scenes from an Imaginary Ballot," and Melville Charlton's "Poem Erotique." Her interpretative and aesthetic dancing, which was executed with skill and grace, received the hearty applause of the large audience of visitors, members of the Hampton Institute staff, and students.

ROBERT R. MOTON EX PLODES ON THE SOCIAL EQUALITY BUG BEAR. It is nauseating to read the rot given out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jiminerow cars, stopping now and then to make speeches lauding his oppressors. If he were the only one to suffer it would matter little, but his words are promptly telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth the colored people of the entire country sink lower in the minds of those who read. Many of his statements are wholly without foundation in fact. For instance in a recent lecture be fore the students of the University of North Carolina, the wires say he said: "The Negro race has advanced further than any similar number of colored people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South." Could anything with a smaller amount of truth and a greater amount of servility be compressed into one sentence? The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people with more or less Negro blood in that country, or nearly twice as many as there are in the United States, according to census figures. And the colored people of Brazil, although they were once slaves and were not emancipated until 1888, a quarter of a century after Lincoln's proclamation, have advanced further than the colored people in this country. ```markdown ``` ```markdown ``` HON.

They are absolutely free from any civil or social discrimination. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the blackest Brazilian is in every way the peer of the whitest of his countrymen. showed his ignorance of the English language! He probably meant to say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Principal Moton deems it a wonderful thing that his race "has had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the South." Here are some of the benefits of the contact: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery; enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery, in fact, after its abolition; segregation; denial of living wages; denial of equal school facilities; disfranchisement; jimcrowers, eteerae. Why even Tuskegee Institute which furnishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 per cent of the endowment fund, and the greater portion of the running expenses is begged in the North. The State of Alabama gives the measly sum of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Principal Moton: "To the Southern white people we owe our language and our religion and all that we have learned and all that we have advanced in civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the youth. Is it strange that many of the students come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper place in the world? Then Principal Moton came out in his peroration in which he said that "no Southern colored man wanted social equality." In that statement he ```markdown ``` This constructive policies earned him interest, which was $541,000 any previous administration. In Herald-Examiner, Tribune, Ever endorsed him for Alderman, and office of the City Treasurer his ability and grown steadily in his office; honest, capable and intelligent Treasurer has been generally the City Council." HON. GEORGE M. MAYPOLE showed his ignorance of the English language! He probably meant to say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Social equality means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, especially when considered as subjects of civil government." Here are some of the definitions of "equal:" of the same degrees with another or each other; uniform in condition or action; of just proportion or relation; equitable, just, impartial, exact; of the same importance and concern; not distinguished by any ground or preference. Social equality means the right to vote, the right to equal and identical accommodations on common carriers, the right to service in public places of refreshment and amusement, the right to residence anywhere one is able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when charged with crime, and every other right which citizenship i: a republic carries with it. Principal Moton's dear friends of the South have denied all of these rights to the colored people, every effort for advancement has been fought, in one way or another, even if conducted on jimrow lines. The purpose of the South always has been and is now, to segregate the colored people from other citizens and make them a pariah class, despised by all others, and subject to the whims and caprices of a master class. In North Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treated as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. They have suffered from all of the inequalities of citizenship. They have made progress not because of segregation, but in spite of it. If the Southern white people had not placed hindrances, including murder, in their path, they would have ere this reached the plane which has been attained by the colored people of Brazil. Some of Principal Moton's activities in the past should not be forgotten. Shortly after he succeeded B. Washington as the head of Tuskegee, his wife was ejected from a Pullman sleeper because she was colored. According to the Associated Press Moton made no attempt to defend her, but stated that he had advised her not to attempt to ride in a Pullman. Just after the armistice in the world war Principal Moton was sent to France as the special representative of President Wilson, the arch enemy of the colored race. The Crisis and other periodicals and many colored soldiers asserted that instead of investigating and endeavoring to correct the outrageous treatment to which the colored troops were subjected, he rushed around, made a few speeches telling the colored soldiers to be "good" and then took the first but for the U. S. "in order to attend a conference at Tuskegee." For a colored man to land the brutal South, which has heaped unspeakable wrongs upon his people for hundreds of years, is a disgusting exhibition of servility. Imagine if you can, an Irishman approving the awful murders by the British soldiery; conceive if you can, a Jew condoning the pogroms in Russia, Poland and the Halkan states; think of an East Indian lauding the English who blow many of his country men from the months of cannon. If you can visualize these things then you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to land the South—The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn. March 20, 1921. THE BROAD AX, SATURDAY, APRIL 2. 1921. MOTON FILED ASKING COURT TO SET ASIDE VAR- NER VERDICT: MANY AFFIDAVITS ARE FILED Greensboro, N. C.—Attorneys for Mrs. Florence C. Varner, wife of Henry B. Varner of Lexington, who was found guilty by a United States district court justice here February 26 of improper relations with B. Baxter McRary, filed a motion in the clerk's office of the Federal court here asking that the verdier be set aside and a new trial granted. A large batch of affidavits were attracted to the motion. A copy of the papers filed were forwarded to attorneys representing Mr. Varner. After the defense has filed its reply the motion will be argued before Judge James E. Boyd. Among the affidavits sled which have not been made public heretofore, was one signed by Robert D. Shore, assistant treasurer of the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, Winston-Salem, in which he declares that on the afternoon the verdict was rendered G. C. Thomas, an automobile man, and brother of F. J. Thomas, a member of the Varner jury, told him that Mr. Varner had stated that if the jury returned a verdict in his favor he (Mr. Varner) would purchase an automobile from him. G. C. Thomas is the man C. W. Edwards, a Greenboro automobile man, asserted in an affidavit, he found in a hotel room with five members of the jury before a verdict was returned. M. C. Reeves, of Forsyth the County, a member of the jury, in an affidavit states that shortly after the jury was empaneled and before the evidence was all in, F. J. Thomas, a juror, frequently expressed the opinion to him in the presence of other jurors that Mrs. Varner was guilty. C. T. Roane, deputy marshal, according to the Reeves affidavit, frequently talked in his presence against Mrs. Varner, declaring that she was guilty. Eleven affidavits signed by J. D. Stephenson, Smithfield; Albert Albright, Cranville County; C. H. Walker, Alamance County; M. B. Smith, Alamance County; C. M. Moore, Alamance County; L. M. Squires, Alamance County; W. P.

Don't fail to hear his next sermon. Subject, "God's Man for This Day and Generation," or "The Sign of the Times." Quinn Chapel is doing great work. Last Sunday over 200 unemployed were given a free dinner, making over 2,500 fed in the last two weeks. The church raised for foreign missions over $200. This is the largest amount in the history of the church. The Victory rally is continued. The pastor and officers hope to wipe out the entire debt this anniversary.

The quarterly meeting will be held Sunday at Quinn. Love feast was held Friday night. Covington, Ga.—Federal agents have raided the farm of John S. Williams, charged with having caused the murder of eleven Negroes, and arrested several Negro farm hands whom they desired as material witnesses in the investigation of alleged peonage on the farm. Williams will be placed on trial here next Tuesday on one of the murder indictments which followed theading of the bodies of three Negroes in a river. Veniremen have been summoned. Gov. Doray has suggested to officials that Williams be tried on each of the murder charges separately. H. E. Olive, Tillette and Guthrie, King, Sapp and King, reads as follows: The Motion in Full. "Plaintiff comes into court and moves that the verdict heretofore rendered in this case be set aside, and a new trial granted on the following grounds: "1. For errors assigned in the record and for that the verdict is contrary to the greater weight of the evidence. "2. That the plaintiff did not have a fair and impartial trial, for that the jury was not impartial and for that outside influences were exerted and brought to bear upon the jury, which affected their verdict against the plaintiff, and for that the verdict as rendered did not express the real sentiment of all the jurors. "3. For that since the trial of said case newly discovered evidence has come to the knowledge of the plaintiff which is material in her behalf, and which was not available to her upon her former trial. "That in support of the first ground above mentioned, the plaintiff refers to the exceptions taken and appearing in the record, and also refers to the evidence given upon the trial, and insists that upon a fair and impartial consideration thereof, it is not sufficient to support the verdict; and, further, that the verdict as rendered was against the greater weight of the testimony, and therefore the same should be set aside and a new trial granted. "That in reference to the second ground above stated the plaintiff alleges that the juror, F. J. Thomas, sware on his voir dire, that he was impartial and had not formed or expressed any opinion that the plaintiff should not recover in this action, when in truth and in fact, he was not impartial, and before his selection as a juror, he had formed and expressed the opinion that the plaintiff was guilty of the charge of adultery alleged in the defendant's answer, and immediately after his selection as a juror, and before all the evidence was in, either for the plaintiff or defendant, the said F. J. Thomas frequently expressed the opinion to other members of the jury that plaintiff was guilty of the adultery charged in the defendant's answer. That attached hereto are the affidavits of R. L. Steed, C. W. Edwards and M. C. Reeves, to which reference is hereby made, and which sustain, as plaintiff avers, the allegations in this respect. THOUGHT HE KISSED HER But He Bit Her! Natalie Ruben had Walter Kassula arrested for biting her lips at a "kissing bee" in Pittsburgh. He is under $1,000 bond. Webster's dictionary definition of a kiss is "to salute or caress with the lips." Therefore, all colored people know how to kiss, for God seems to have made their lips thick for that very purpose. It is no wonder that white people sometimes make a mistake and bite each other. Their lips are so thin and hard, that they get them mixed up with their teeth.—Ex. LEWIS' HAVE DEED FOR HOME.

Musicians find the drum an unsatisfactory instrument for lack of harmonic overtones. From India comes the description of a drum the parchment head of which is loaded with an adherent composition containing finely divided iron. Such composition lies in a central circle. Around the edge a second ring-shaped membrane is secured and the effect of the loading is to produce good harmonic overtones. Preserving Milk Is milk condensed? Milk is condensed by the evaporation of the water it contains, after it has been sterilized. Sugar is added to some brands, and is not added to others, and the unsweetened is known as "evaporated" milk to distinguish it from the sweetened. Copper tanks holding 1,000 gallons or more are used in the sterilization of the milk, and the water is evaporated in huge vacuum pans. Dirt Obscures Light of Lamp. When the lamps become old and more or less dirty between cleanning periods the emitted light falls off about 25 per cent, according to the Electrical World.

It would seem that a building 9,000 feet above the sea levee should be protected by lightning rods, but the astronomical observatory at Mount Etna has not, and does not, need such protection. The observatory is near the summit of the volcano, and the stream of vapor constantly rising from the crater acts as a natural conductor, draining the electricity out of the clouds, so that lightning is seldom seen there. Freedom is the word that is many sided. There are those who boast of freedom of conscience who seem to interpret it simply as with that of other people. There are those who seem to fancy that their rights as citizens entitle them to unquestioned trampling upon rights of anybody else who chances to stand in their way—Montreal Herald. Oil in North America Oil was known to the Indians and used by them for medicinal purposes. It was first obtained from the surface of creeks and as a product of salt wells, Edwin L.

Jellico, Tenn.-Since I took my pen in hand to write to you the last time many things have been going the rounds, and many other things will happen before you can get a chance to read this letter and you are not in a position to stop them from happening, but you must get in harmony with the law of God, and say "Come day, go day, God send Sunday." As I am watching to see which way the cat is going to jump out of the bag, I am inclined to say God has a big program for us, if we will only get close enough to Him for it to be carried out. I am one of His children, therefore I know what I am talking about. I hope you are on the Lord's side, and if not I hope you will soon get there, for the brighter days is coming, and if you are not ready to stand, then you must fall, and hard will be the fall. I wrote my last letter from Knoxville, and that day when I wrote it I was sitting in the office of the East Tennessee News. I am not there now, and I have been away, and passed back through there taking up other matters. Early one morning, when the hands of the elock were about to indicate that it was 4 o'clock, Editor W. L. Porter, called "All aboard." This meant that it was time for me to start to Gate City, Virginia. I was up at a glance, had on all my Sunday-go-to-meeting clothes and ready for the station, where I was to take the Southern Iron horse. I went down purchased autority to ride, and was soon in the little coop, for the place where I was going. After that conductor had lifted my ticket out of my hand punched it and gave it back to me. I went to sleep and so remained One of the most cago, who brave honor and for ected as one of t until we reached "Male Cow's Gap where we had to change for my place. I got on the other wagon, and it was not long before I was down to Gate City, and stepping off of the train Prof. W. D. Morison, was there to greet me, and to tote me to his home, and to visit the school. Prof. Morison, had on his face, a smile equal to that of Gold Dust Twins. He received me just like he was receiving a brother, and introduced me to a white man, whose front piece stuck out so far, that it was impossible for him to see his feet. He certainly had been dilling it, with something fattable. We shook hands, and then Prof. Morison, wanted me to walk through the city on exhibition. I entered a mild protest, but made the walk. The people looked at me, and seemed to say, "That is one more good looking man," and I thought so too. I have the beauty if nothing else. This young man is doing a good work, and I was delighted to see the school which has been erected by my people with some help from the town and county, and some from Rosewald. It is an unusually building, and will be a monument to the young men. I met the Building Committee, shook hands with them. They are striving to do something, and they were putting forth an effort to get money enough to pay off the debt on the piano, and then to build steps to enter the building. They have two regular teachers, and then there was Miss Taylor, who has charge of the domestic science, but they call it something else. She represents the whole county, and another county, for in this county we have only one school for us. It is interesting to go in the country, and see big old men act like little children trying to count the teacher, and this is what I found in this county. Mr. Tutter, with one foot in the grave and the other leaning that way, --- who is living on borrowed time, perhaps, having passed over his three score and ten years and then some, wanted to take the teacher to the "supper, and employed a little boy, Mack Turner to do his courting. This little fellow told the man that he was a sure winner, and that Miss Taylor was just cray about him. The boy got ten cents, and the old gentleman in question got air pudding and win sause, because his chances were slim to win this heart. There was another man, who wanted her heart, and he told me to put in some words for him. He said that he was worth $15,800, had some good real estate, and wanted an educated wife, and if he could just win this young woman, he would stand on his head, so to speak. He would just put his fingers in his mouth and just sit down and look wise at the young teacher. I am not going to comment in this letter. I enjoyed very much my trip to this city, and saw many things to inspire me. Then I beat it to Bristol, where I touched that worker and leader, Rober E. Clay, who is just doing things in Tennessee, and who is interested in affairs. He has a strong organization in Tennessee, and then he is a devoted friend to Dr. Robert R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, with Berry O'Kelly and myself. As soon as I walked into Mr. Clay's place of business, he wanted to send and get me something to eat, for he said they were cleaning house at his home, and when I did not want to eat then it was his desire to carry me up to the Virginia public school, and I was ready for the question. We made it up there and found a brilliant young 1930 most prominent lawyers in the great bravely fought on the battlefields of France for the glory of his country, and he slayed the Judges of the Circuit Court of Cologne. man in charge, Prof. Johnson. Dr. McAulor toted us up in his automobile car carriage. It mined hard, but we went just the same and enjoyed the trip. Back to Knoxville, found Mr. Porter awaiting my arrival. Out to his house, met his wife, then went to see Mrs. G. B. Bradley, found Mr. Singleton, with a woman and man. The woman had grown tired of her husband and children, hence decided that it was time to get a new one, and she left with this man, and twenty-five minutes after they touched the town, Detective Singleton cooped them. We all had dinner with Prof. and Mrs. Cansler and their two daughters, and then I pulled out for this place. I am here and this is indeed a town of strife. One little two by four preacher was here preaching for the Baptist preacher and trying to get him out of a job at the same time. He was preaching heaven and teaching hell, and I think God is not pleased with such methods. I shall pay my respects to the Elder in another letter. Are you getting ready to go to the Founders' Day exercises of Tuskegee Institute? Dr. Moton is expecting you, and he will give you a big time if you are there. There will be big doings at Tuskegee, April 10-11. Come along. There will come a time when you will be called upon to show your real manhood. I have not learned the date of the National Race Congress, hence I am not prepared to tell you about it. You just wait and listen until I tell you. Congress will soon be in session again.

Live Electric Plants There are in all about 50 species of electrical fish, but the electrical properties of only five or six have been studied in detail. The best known are various species of torpedo, belonging to the skate family found in the Mediterranean and Adriatic seas; the gymnotus, an eel found in the region of the Orinoco in South America; the malapterura, the rash or thunderer fish of the Arabs, a native of the Nile, the Niger, Senegal and other African rivers, and various species of skate found in the seas around Great Britain. Her Description A bright ten-year-old girl, whose father was addicted to amateur photography, attended a trial at court the other day for the first time. This was her account of the judge's charge: "The judge made a long speech to the jury of 12 men, and then sent them off into a little dark room to develop." The Borneo camphorwood or kaper has a pronounced camphor odor when fresh, says the American Forestry Magazine. It belongs to the dipterocarp family, nearly all of the trees of which are resinous.

The average or main elevation of the state, as estimated by the geological survey, is 900 feet. Cultivating Personality Everyone tries to be clever, to cultivate individuality nowadays, forgetting to look inwards first to see if there is anything of special originality to cultivate. A girl may, indeed, consider it good fortune if she finds that there isn't anything special, that she will make just the ordinary, normal woman, with an illogical fondness for home, husband and children. It is really more original to be a domestic woman today than to be a pronounced specimen of any other type. An Historic Forest The historical associations connected with the forest of Vallombrosa are very interesting. It was founded in the Twelfth century and given its name which, literally translated, means "Shadowed Valley," by Saint Glorvanni Gaulberto, says Nelson Courtlandt Brown in the American Forestry Magazine. It was founded as a monastery and retreat for one of the Benedictine order of monks, and from its early inception the monks took great pride in caring for, cultivating and replanting the forests. Chesa va. Checkera. Chess appeals to mature minds, and wood supplies most of the accouments with which it is played. Some of the best are of ebony and boxwood, but very satisfactory games may be played with yellow poplar, bass wood, walnut, maple and birch outfits, says the American Forestry Magazine. The same holds true on checkers, but that game usually is rated a little lower than chess in scientific points, though no less an authority than Edgar Allan Poe holds that as a mental exercise of the highest and purest sort checkers surpass chess.

The Gaelic language is the original and historical language of the people of Ireland, though most of that country's inhabitants speak English. Gaelic is now taught in the national schools, Catholic parish schools and colleges in Ireland, as well as at Hayward university, Notre Dame university and the Catholic University of America at Washington. There has been a revival of the use of Gaelic through the efforts of the Society for the Preservation of the Gaelic Language. Rubber Pens. Fountain pens are really made of rubber. The pure rubber is mixed with sulphur and heated. In a few hours the mixture rises to a heat of three times the boiling point of water. When it has cooled the substance formed is known as vulcanite. Many things besides, fountain pens are made from vulcanite, such as combs, buttons and kuffelhandles. It forms a useful substitute for horn ivory and jet. A new method has just been discovered for vulcanizing rubber, and this makes such articles much cheaper. Word's Meaning Changed. Going downstairs etymologically means ascending. The Saxon "dun" meant an upland or hill, and "a-dun" meant a descent. In the course of time the preparation was omitted and the word "dun" came to mean down. Best of All Things.

Widows wore caps, says one authority, at the time of the Roman conquest of England, because they shaved their heads as a sign of mourning; as women would not allow herself to be with a bald head, she made herself a pretty cap. Though the necessity for it has long since passed, the cap still remains. Why do we wear heels on our shoes?

Diversion will stimulate far more intensive effort, but the effort itself must have no diverting influence. "This one thing I do," says the apoplee, and in doing it be winn.

Take these ingredients together and add fine powdered glass to form a paste. This cement must be heated before being used. First Studies of the Human Body.
