Covington, Ga.—Of course you know that all civilization is now looking at Georgia, and there has been much speculation as to what the verdict would be in the case of John S. Williams, the owner and proprietor of the Georgia “Murder Farm.” I am sure of Manning and put him out of the way. I want him to live until this case is over and then some more, even though the rest of the living may be in prison, the place where he has earned a resting place. It is a beluva come off, that this man permitted himself to be used to take life, and then they
Rev. Birt is just getting ready to Launch a Building Fund Campaign and Many of the Good Old Members of Bethel Church have walked to the Front and Laid Down One Hundred Dollars Each as Evidence of their Good Faith in the Honesty of Rev. Birt and his Intention to Build the Best and the Largest Church among Colored People in this Country.
It is freely admitted by all of those who are familiar with the situation which has obtained at Bethel Church that for more than ten or twelve years it has been entirely too small for its ever increasing membership which at the present time amounts to more than seven thousand and five hundred and for some cause or other none of its former pastors have had the courage to take a bold step forward in the direct direction of either buying or building a much larger church some where and relieve the congested condition or situation at Bethel Church.
Nancy Reed, $100; Mr. and Mrs. E. B. Peck, $100; Prof. James A. Mundy, $100; Mr. Adam Horn, $100; Mr. E. H. McGavoek, $100; Mr. George Smith, $50; there are hundreds of other members and friends of Bethel Church who have already signed up for many thousands of dollars for the Building Fund. Among the many new features of the New Bethel Church will be a parsonage built right inside of it, the choir stand will be large enough to hold more than two hundred persons; there will be private offices for the director of the choir, the Superintendent of the Sunday
This being absolutely true it remained for Rev. S. L. Birt, the present highly esteemed and hustling pastor of Bethel Church to lead off in that direction and he will have the honor of building the first large new church in this city since Bethel Church was constructed in 1890, for all of the other denominations seeking larger quarters have bought second-handed churches which have or had been venerated by the whites on account of the removal of colored people into the neighborhood where the whites were holding forth and as the white Christians did not want to come in close contact with the colored Christians they sold their old worn out, out of date churches to the colored Christians for large sums of money.
Rev. Birt does not believe in doing business along such lines for he firmly believes that nothing is too good in the way of a brand new or modern house of worship for the old time and the new members of Bethel Church.
With that object in view he has secured the plot of ground corner of 35th and Vernon avenue, 125 feet by 140 feet, and upon it he will construct the newer and the greater Bethel Church, when it is completed it will be by far one of the finest and one of the largest churches in the United States, the main auditorium will seat three thousand and five hundred people, the pipe organ will be on of the largest which can be constructed.
Rev. Birt expects to get things in shape so as to start building the newer and larger Bethel shortly after the first of 1922, and he is just getting his plans perfected to start his building fund campaign and so far over fifteen hundred dollars has been dumped into it by the members of Bethel since Sunday, April 3, aside from the other large regular collections at each meeting, the following persons have walked up to the table and laid down one hundred dollars each for the Building Fund: Rev. S. L. Birt; $100; Mrs. W. R. Woods; $100; Mrs. Jennie Jacobs; $100; Dr. A. J. Offord; $100; Mrs. George W. Davidson; $100; Mr. R. B. Moore (Supt. M. S.); $100; Mr. James A. and Mrs.

Nancy Reed, $100; and Mrs. E. B. Peck, $100; Prof. James A. Mundy, $100; Mr. Adam Horn, $100; Mr. R. H. H. Gavacke, $100; Mr. George Smith, $50; there are hundreds of other members and friends of Bethel Church who have already signed up for many thousands of dollars for the Building Fund. Among the many new features of the New Bethel Church will be a parsonage built right inside of it, the choir stand will be large enough to hold more than two hundred persons; there will be private offices for the director of the choir, the Superintendent of the church, the School and private offices for the heads of the various departments of the church, there will be a large day nursery where children can be left all day in charge of a competent matron and all the church services, a large room will be provided where the children can romp and play to their hearts content while their parents are attending services in the main body of the church.
The first basement will contain many class rooms, a large hall for meetings and a large fine dining room and meals will be served all the time on Sunday or while the church is running at full blast.
As a master or modern church builder Rev. Birt stands in a class by himself, for it will be recalled that more than five years ago he was sent as pastor of St. Paul Church at Des Moines, Iowa, at that time its less than four hundred members where holding services in a little old tumble down frame building and right then and there Rev. Birt informed its members that they must have a new church and they declared into him that all of the presachers who had been there before him had told them the same thing, namely Rev. B. U. Taylor, Rev. L. N. Daniels, Rev. Horace C. Graves and others but that all of them had utterly failed to construct a new church for them.
At that point Rev. Birt gave them his word and honor that if he lived that he would build a new church for them which would be a lasting credit to them and to the city of Des Moines, Iowa, and in less than two years from that time Rev. Birt erected a modern new church for them which cost almost one hundred thousand dollars and it is one of the finest in the A. M. E. connection, it will cost more than two thousand people and he increased its membership from less than five hundred to fifteen hundred, he also constructed a new parsonage costing three thousand dollars and when Rev. Birt was transferred from Des Moines to this city in September, 1920, he had reduced the debt on the church in Des Moines to twenty thousand dollars and all the bishops and the other head of

honest and straight-forward pastor of old Bethel Church, Thirtieth and Dearborn streets; the master or the modern church builder.
ficials of his church have unbounded faith in his great ability to construct the new Bethel Church in Chicago which will stand for ages as a living monument to his memory.

Washington, D. C.—Recent visitors to Howard University have been His Excellency, Hon. Charles Dumar Bradley King, President of the Republic of Liberia; Hon. F. E. R. Johnston, Associate Justice of the Liberian Supreme Court; Hon. John L. Morris, former Liberian Secretary of the Treasury; and Mr. Gabriel L. Dennis, all of whom compose the Liberian Plenary Commission now negotiating with the U. S. State and Treasury Departments in connection with the five million dollar ($5,000,000) credit established by the United States for the Republic off Liberia in 1918. President King and Justice Johnston spoke most effectively to the officers, teachers and students of Howard at the noon meeting, Tuesday, April 5.
Also Visits Dunbar High School. On the following day, Wednesday, April 6, these gentlemen were presented to the students of the Dunbar High School by Dr. Emmitt J. Scott, Secretary-Treasurer of Howard University, who accompanied them. Present at the exercises, in addition to Principal Garnett C. Wilkinson, were Mine Lacy Steve, Principal of the Junior High School; Mr. Arthur O. Newman, Principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School; Mr. Engene Clarke, Principal of the Minor Normal School; Mr. Robert Mattingly, Head of Department of Mathematics, Public High Schools; and the Faculty of the Dunbar High School. Again President King and Justice Johnston apoke. They urged upon the students of Dunbar High School a clearer and a better understanding of the relations which should exist be-

High School Stages Debate.
High School Sages Debate.
The four English classes invited President King and his party to be present at a debate—"Be it resolved that the credit for five million dollars established by the United States government for Liberia in 1918 should be made available at once." The question was ably debated by the four speakers representing each side. The judges awarded the debate to the affirmative side of the discussion. After the debate President King and party were given a luncheon by the Principal and Faculty of the Dunbar High School, to which was also invited the Principals of the above named public schools. An inspection of some of the shops and class rooms of the Armstrong Manual Training School followed.
These visits to Howard University and the Dunbar High School served to give the Liberian visitors some idea as to the work in education being carried on in Washington for the colored people of the District of Columbia and for the Nation.
Other recent visitors to Howard University have been Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, Director of Research Mr. James Weldon Johnson, Executive Secretary and Dr. R. M. Bagnani, Field Agent, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Dr. Dubois spoke to the student body at one of the noon meetings, while Mr. Johnson spoke under the auspices of the student branch of the N. A. A. C. P. Another notable visitor during the month was Mr. Teizo Toda, of the Imperial University of Tokyo, Japan. Mr. Toda in a student of educational methods and included Howard University among the schools to be studied by him.
Howard University will send the following team to be entered in the Penn Relay Bases to be held on Franklin Field, Philadelphia, Pa., under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania, April 29 and 30, 1921: H. K. Perry, L. J. Robinson, F. D. Williams and R. J. Fitzgerald, with B. Conte and F. Jones as substitutes. Perry, Williams and Fitzgerald were members
of the team representing Howard at the Penn races held last year. The Howard University, team will be entered in a class with Tufts, Carnegie Institute, Rochester, Hobart, Vermont and Bowdoin. There is every reason to believe that the team will make a creditable showing for Howard.
THE JEWS FIGHT BACK.
The Jews are not like some of our jimcrow people who turn the other cheek when they are kicked and get another kick. Oh, no; they fight back when they are attacked. For some time past Henry Ford the billionaire automobile maker, has been printing a lot of dirty stuff against the Jews in his paper, the Dearborn Independent. The Jews have money and the influence which goes with it and they are preventing the sale of the paper. It has already been barred from the streets of Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Toledo and other large cities. That's the way to do it; fight back. The Appeal, St. Paul, Minn., April 9, 1921.
It will be recalled that in 1906 when this newspaper waged its memorable fight against the late Benjamin R. Tillman against permitting him to come to this city and preach his hellish doctrine of mob and lynch law for all colored people. Such eminent race leaders as Dr. Charles E. Bentley severely condemned us for coming out in the open and manfully fighting Senator Tillman, that he was receiving too much free advertising from us in but time it was amply proven that we were right in our bitter fight against Mr. Tillman and that Dr. Bentley and his whole army of race leaders ran themselves off of the main line onto the side track.
The Jewish people are absolutely right in fighting back against Henry Ford and stopping the sale of his paper as long as it devotes all of its space in fighting not one Jew but all Jews, whenever the colored race learns to fight its rank enemies in the same manner then it will amount to something in this country and it will no longer be regarded as a football by other races to be kicked around at their sweet will be skinned.

Covington, Ga.—Of course you know that all civilization is now looking at Georgia, and there has been much speculation as to what the verdict would be in the case of John S. Williams, the owner and proprietor of the Georgia "Murder Farm." I am sure that the world is satisfied when it was announced last Saturday "We, the jury, find the defendent guilty and recommend him for merery."
Now here is a case where it has been shown to the world "at there is manhood in the white man, and he can rise above race prejudice and issue out justice. This is what has been done, and what should have been done. Of course it would not do to put the rope around his neck for the wholesale murder of Negroes, when the only witnesses were Negroes for the prosecution, and Williams for himself. It was never dreamed that a jury of white men, most of them farmers would convict a white man on evidence of one of our men, and the lawyer for Williams played race prejudice for all it was worth.
of Manning and put him out of the way. I want him to live until this case is over and then some more, even though the rest of the living may be in prison, the place where he has earned a resting place. It is a heluva come off, that this man permitted himself to be used to take life, and then they tried to put it all on him. Mr. Williams said that he had given these men money, and Manning had followed them up and murdered them all and robbed them. Now who in the hell would believe anything like that. You can't induce the devil to believe a lie like that. I do not mean to call Mister Williams a lier, for that would be too near the truth.
It is not all over, but an effort will be made to get this white man out of it. Let us get in touch with God, and ask him to direct justice for just one time, and we will serve Him the rest of our days. We will get others of our race to join in this service and thanks giving to God.
There are better things ahead boys. I am surprised, and I thank God for
He played that harp and played it loud. He had some of the girls of the family there, and asked the jury, if they could look the girls in the face when they had reached womanhood, after convicting their father on the evidence of a "Nigger," and then told how the wife would be deprived of her husband, and the only thing that would do it would be the word of a "Nigger." Lawyer Johnson, who spoke for Williams, certainly did do the shimmy on the Negro question. He walked the dog and got off of the puppy's tail. He put Demosthenes into nothing, but his eloquence did not move the jury. Twelve men who had sworn they would do their duty, and would be governed by the evidence and not be swayed by eloquence or prejudice.
These were men who lived, not in the big cities, but in the country, and most of the farmers just like the destroyer of human life. Johnson. They were men in the medium walk of life, but they were men every inch of them. It was a trying time with them, for white people were looking at them from all angles. Some wanted that they turn Williams free, while others wanted the law fully vindicated. There was not much excitement around and about here. All were anxious to hear, hence the court house was crowded and there were more people on the outside unable to get in. My people were admitted to the gallery. The only eye witness to the killing was Manning, and believe he told his story straight, and no intimidation could cause him to swerve. He was the chief killer, but directed to do so by the "Murder Farm" owner, his own life being in jeopardy. I am glad that he did do as told, so he could not be out of the way, but was left to tell the story, which has brought the devil to justice. God take care of him, for he will have to be punished also, together with the sons of Williams. They have made their escape just now, but let it be hoped that they will be returned to justice and enjoy the fate of the father, if they are guilty. It is hard to tell just how long this killing business has been going on, and before we are through with it, you will find that the number will go over twenty. I have reason to believe that it will go beyond that number. Well let him go to the penitentiary and there awaiting his assignment by our Father in Heaven to the place of torture where he of right belongs, and where he may meet some of his victims. I hope if any of them who have been murdered at his hands are in hell, they will be appointed chief firemen to keep the fire hot to work on Mister Williams. Now is the time for my country to act, and to act wisely. I believe the inhuman to take of human lives should be stopped, and every criminal punished by law and not by lawless mobs. Do you agree with me on this?
I hope that the men of the law will not fool around and let a mob get hold

There are better things ahead boys. I am surprised, and I thank God for the days which are coming. Lynching is going to be sent to hell, murderers to the prisons, and some of them later will be sent to the gallows, and man will find that right here in the South, law and order will reign. I told you that when I use to hear of Governor Bickett, of North Carolina, and other great men who were speaking out, and believe me honey when I tell you that the Georgia press is speaking right out in church.
Wrong has been in the saddle for a long time (but Mr. Right is going to have his day and in his getting hold some one is going to get hurt, and that to the heart. I have been getting around just a little bit, and more and more I am seeing things which give me a vision, and which make me believe in my own future. I must soon leave the stage of action, by reason of old age, but I thank God that he spared me to see today, and tomorrow will take care of itself. The young men like Porter, Taylor, Cheeks Consler Edwards and others must take up the work. They are doing their part.
I profess that I am proud that I know Dr. J. H. Hale, one of the finest and best surgeons in America. I am sure that you will agree with me that surgery is not color, but colorless. It is a profession, and we are proud that Dr. Hale, who is a the head of the Millie Hale Infirmary, Nashville, Tenn., is just a surgeon and a first-class one at that, and his wife, is one of the best trained nurses in the country, and she is teaching our girls to follow in her footsteps. They have about 30 in training in the infirmary. God bless them all.
Now I have a few things that I would like to say to you, but will have to say them another time. Take care of yourself, and let me learn from you when you have the time to do so. I will talk about some of the places I have been in another letter.

By Dr. M. A. Majors.
Dancing is wrong even if it brings new delights to the "fancy free." It is veritably a fools heaven, and a hell for the youth and maiden whose ambition calls to higher and nobler things. The unsettled and immatured minds seek the momentary pleasures, the gay throng and catchy music. We do not build races, nor set up empires with the folly of the giddy and vapory man or woman. We do not object to the gracious and splendid art in itself. It would be alright if the people who are charmed and delight in it were all of them alright. Of course there is relaxation and pleasure in it.
Frequently we hear people say, "never dance at a public ball." This is because of ugly contact and unwelcome partners, but a wrong is a wrong any where and at any time. The mind of a man in matters concerning his pleasures is not to be trusted at any time. The most always interpret actions of others with a faulty conception and find their conclusions running parallel with their desires. Now where the genus home becomes the glad actor in the scene that liberally endows him the honor of the embraces dancing supplies, he concludes that by his manly presumption (and it is very natural) that he is making progress and feels complimented by the stunt he has made in his quest for the weak and frivolous maiden. Most of the women who dance know this, and could recite their thousands upon thousands of conflicts. Accepting the flattery and yet disclaiming the rash attentions of silly men.

be. The dance hall does not promote men and women to elegant stations of life. The church gives one the best card of personal identification, and the richest endorsement one needs. If it is
Fortunately the young men and women en who love the true and the beautiful are entrenched with a moral fabric against which the nonsensical and useless frivolities beat in vain. These are the stalwarts who have as basic principles the rich heritage bequeathed to them by worthy parentage. A great many who dance are not so fortified by the powerful resistance of the right principle and sober conduct, and the rest can be told among the sad stories of thousands who trusted not wisely too well.
Many things enter into the equation and sometimes the question becomes pertinent, who cares? and what is the use of trying to be good? wherein does any one receive credit for sober conduct? The answer may well be expressed in the counsel of a divine old man.' Wisely my son while yet thy days are long, and this fair change of season passes slow, gather and treasure up all of the fruits they yield, 'll that they teach of virtue, reverence for thy friends, all that they teach of friendship and reverence for thy God so when thou comest into the heaven years of old age, thou mays't not bring a mind unfurnished, a withered heart. The call of the present day to merit the aprobation of a few sterling friends who follow in the paths of truth and beauty demand that we lay aside the weight (dancing which has brought ruin to many promising youth) because it so casily beests thousands who in mind unthoughtful insecurity fall by the wayside, following after the alurements, and the slush of gaiety.
The church offers all of the great favors to be found in our striving to become what God intended we should
be. The dance hall does not promote men and women to elegant stations of life. The church gives one the best card of personal identification, and the richest endorsement one needs. If it is purety of character, moral solidity, hearty and holiness the attributes of a righteous life, here may be found the heaven we die seeking. The glory of right living, pure thinking and nobly acting. Here is the sum total for all we long for that is worth while, and the sweet ambrosia of a pure life, and the nectar dripping rich with the honey of God's love.
Read your Psalms, study Eclesiastes and sometimes give yourself that long promised treat by attending an old-time prayer meeting where God-fearing people kneel humbly at the throne of grace and remember the mother's prayer, "God protect my son or daughter." Cut the indiscriminate dance.
There are no children any more. There are only infants and adults. The race for sophistication is so swift that young people go through no developing period of adolescence. They jump from the cradle onto the dance floor.
There is an enormous social drift on toward premature adulthood. Girls don't want to be called girls they want to be called women from the time they cut their second teeth. They want to dress their hair and bodies like grown-up ladies before they are fairly in their teens.
There is only one way to curb this ridiculous and dangerous tendency—increase public education—for self-control, the only real restraint, comes best through schooling.
The schools must curb this unnatural and often disastrous ambition of child dren. Courts can mend breaks, but it is better for the community if the breaks never occur, and the schools are the hope of those who want to see this fever of foreced growth cooled.
PLANTER GETS LIFE TERM POE
NEGRO MUEDER.
Covington, Ga.—Following the arrival of John S. Williams, planter, at the penitentiary at Atlanta, to which he was sentenced for life, the prosecutor here declared he would seek indictments against six or seven others and charge them with participation in the lynching of Eugene Hamilton, a Negro.
Williams was convicted of the murder of one of the eleven Negroes whose bodies were found on or near his Jasper County farm.
In returning the verdict, the jury urged mercy. That gave Williams the life sentence from which he will appeal.
The prosecutor said he woul deech further indictments against Williams and his three sons. Williams was calm when he heard the verdict, but his wife and daughters wept. It is believed that there were fourteen Negroes killed on or near his place and the other bodies are being sought.
"We have the lynchers on the run and intend to clean up the county," the prosecutor said referring to his further activities.
Williams should have been hung up by his neck until he was good and dead for the part he played in causing the deaths of all the colored men who were abject slaves on his plantation, but the vast majority of the whites residing in the South are not yet sufficiently civilized to hang any white gentleman for committing the most heinous crimes against colored people.

THE BROAD AX. SATURDAY, APRIL 16, 1921
OHCICAGO'S DOCTORS SLANDERED
WITH CRIMINAL LIBEL
By Dr. M. A. Majors.
The Broad Ax is not a medler and endeavors always to pursue its own unruffled course but when the public and professional life of the race is attacked and assailed, it is but pardonable pride that lends us to,express ourselves in the behalf of the aggrieved and slandered.
In the Whip of April 2, the professional life of our race was most mercilessly slandered and libedled which to say the least was a criminal onslaught upon the doctors who belong to the local Physicians Club, and appearing to add insult to injury an editorial of April 9 appeared in the Whip endeavoring to justify the wrong committed by attempting to enlighten the public upon medical ethics.
The medical profession in Chicago represents the advance progress of the Negro race in the field of science. All of the doctors of the race, stand for the noblest principles of a dignified profession and foster the highest moral conception to which the race has attained.
Doctors are human and unselfish, committing themselves to the vast interests of the people they serve professionally, administering to a patronage that is appreciative and sensitive. No one but a traitor to his race would assail our doctors as a whole, upon the mere presumption that a few doctors are guilty of wrong doing.
The Physicians Club is an organization of our very best men in the medical profession. They are a chartered institution and meet regularly once a month for the specific purpose of general improvement, discussing advanced subjects on the curative, and preventive methods of disease and to promote a fellowship that is ethical and dignified.
To raise the standard of medicine as an art and science, hoping thereby to perpetuate its lofty principles.
To say that ninety per cent of our doctors are crooks, abortionists and bootleggers, and that they are riding around to see their patients in automobiles purchased by the money they have made in writing whisky prescriptions is criminal libel, an unjust attack upon the character of a class of men who are to reflect credit on all of us.
When Judge Crowe gets in action we are going to see a sorry lot of weaklings jerked up before the bar to offer a lot of sick, sentimentalism and pleading ignorance of the law and its ramifications. Somebody is headed for Joliet and a big damage suit. Medical ethics forbids doctors running their pictures with weekly write-ups on disease, hygiene sanitation, or giving an exposition of their ability to treat disease. Recently two physicians were expelled because they were found guilty by the association of violating the dignity of the profession. They had been waited upon by a committee who gave them due warning, and counseled them to desist. They told our committee, it is said, to go where no body wants to go when they are through with their professional career on earth.
It is a pity that some newspapers will forfeit the great interests of our race by seizing upon news calculated to act as excitants, as if thereby they hoped to basque in the sober graces of our best citizens.
An owl may be fool enough to light on the barrel of a Krupp gun, but an eagle has better sense.
Prosecution to the bitterest end is sure to merit the attention of the assailants of the Physicians Club and while we are not saying, "Lay on Me Duff," we are not so well acquainted with anybody that bears a charmed life to escape the consequences of such rash acts.
The Broad Ax has always held up the honor of the race. We may have in other years published the truth about some scallion or hypocrit, galvanating about as a wolf in sheeps clothing. For twenty-six years it has appeared every Saturday without missing a single issue, and we have never felt that we could slander a whole profession, ridicule the big and consequential things our foremost men are doing merely to gratify some notions of a disgruntled fow. No The Broad Ax has never stooped that low.
On the contrary we have ever held up for the honor of our groups, applauding them, and taking their cause to the people because the physician stands guard for our race honor and the very corpuses in our life blood. He is modest, dignified, quiet, unassuming, representing as best he may the good samaritan who dispenses benevolence and charity without publishing his great wisdom in the newspapers.
We are not able to comprehend such a spirit in the breast of a black man that could cause him to repudiate the very highest capabilities of our most advanced elements. We do know, however, how easy it is for a fool to spatter a whole crowd of people with mud. If one Chicago's daily papers had amandered and brutally assailed the Negro physicians of Chicago, would you suppose there could be found one Negro with a character so insolent and malevolent disregardful, recreant, contemptuous and degraded as to agree with such daily papers and condemn the Negro doctors, rather than champion their cause!
Common sense and a just sense of right tells us that a Negro with an ounce of common sense would be contentious and protest in behalf of the honor of his race.
The big white daily did not attack the Negro physicians, it remained for "The Whip" published by ((we do not know his real name and wish we did) some Lapin, which taking the latin translation means "wolf," well they don't put wolves in the penitentiary for barking, but they put men in there for criminally slandering their fellowmen.

"BLACK K. K. K." ORGANIZED IN
DALLAS, TEX.
To Retailate for Whipping and Brand ing of Negro.
Dallas, Tex.—Anonymous letters were received by local newspapers and the sheriff of Dallas County, stating that an organization of Negroes had been formed here under the name of the "Black K. K. K." to retaliate for the whipping of Alex Johnson, Negro bell boy, last Friday night, by members of the White K. K. K. The letter threatens any white men who attempt to molest Negroes. Johnson was taken into the country Friday night, severely whipped, and the letters K. K. K. branded on his forehead with silver nitrate, followed the filing of charges against him in a local court for alleged reactions with a white woman.
The colored men of Dallas, Tex, and in all other parts of the South should not permit themselves to come in close contact with white women and then they should band themselves together as if one man and they should start out fully determined to brand every white man, with red hot irons, who persist in living with or making love to colored women.—Editor.

YANKEE DESIGNERS~IN LEAD
Models: From the United States Are
Sought by Milady of Other Lands
—New Spring Creations Are
Captivating.
American designers, writes a New
York fashion correspondent, have
taken their places once and for all as
leaders in the ranks of fashion
Abroad one hears the women of fash.
fon sighingly say, “Ob, if only I could
have one of those American sults—or
ne of those American something
else!" We are producing here some
‘consplevously beautiful creations,
ones that are distinctly the expres-
‘sions of our own personalities.
‘They accuse us of dressing all alike.
Well, if we do, that Is because the
American women have refused to open
thelr eyes sufficiently to the posstbilt-
tles of these American creations, for
they are not all designed alike by any
manper of means, and any sameness
im our dressing cannot be laid at the
doors of the aritsts who are working
a0 hard to set the pace along distinc-
tive American Jines.
‘The fashion shows this spring, pre-
senting strictly American-made fash-
fons, have been a treat to the eye. she
erudities which once were apparent
are fast disappearing, and one de-
lights isa showing of American gowns
as much because of thelr fine points
of design and construction as because
of thelr utter suitability to the figures
which they are meant to adorn.
‘There is nothing which we do 80
well nor wear so well as the street
sult for women, and there {s nothing,
really, which we like so well. When
one returns from abroad having seen
all the styles in the world, one’s eyes
are overjoyed at the sight “of the
American suit, so beautifully cut und
fitted, so artistically worn. An Amert-
can woman needs a sult in her ward-
robe and, if her circumstances are
such that she can have nothing else,
then she, somehow, makes that suit
fit. in with every occasion demanding
her presence.
Our sport cf@fhes, too, are a ne-
tional expression which has nowhere
else been equaled. Our designers
have combined grace and beauty, in
this direction, with utility, and we

‘he day dresses for this spring sea-
son. produced by American designers
are lovely In the simplicity of their
Iines and in the general way In which
the materials have been handled. The
cont dress Is something which has re-
celved the stamp of approval from
American wome, and there are some
new styles in this street frock which’
are very beautiful. Our afternoon
Glothes and some street dresses are
partial to the use of canton crepe, a
heavier and perhaps more durable
version of crepe de chine, There are
lovely colors in this fabric, and-they
have been used with great success,

we will do it im another season, that
is all there is to it, for now we are

length of skirt, Just as there are apt
to be absurdities connected with any

when it ts circular it has the greatest
amount of fullness used in its making.
‘There are so many capes among
the spring wraps, and these are so
Eraceful, that they cannot be passed
by unnoticed. They are made in every
fashion, from the cape of heavy home-
‘spun to that of the airlest and fufflest
of taffetas for evening wear. The
cape coat has been forsaken in smart
@ressmaking circles for the cape on
strictly cape lines, which sometimes
is jeft severely plain, and again
embroidered or heavily trimmed in
some way. One of these is made of
heavy black satin with Its lower edge
embroidered for some distance with
an arrangement of gray angora wool
embroidery. It has « triple flounced
collar that ts in itself almost another
cape.
‘Taffeta dresses are very much in
favor for spring street wear. In fact,
they vie with those of the canton
crepe. They have, usually, fuller
skirts, being made over lines that sult
thelr texture best.
‘There are bouffant types in the
Paris openings this spring, there are
fights in s directotre direction, there
are Spanish flounces, but when all is
measured, asserts 2 fashion authority,
there remain the outstanding fact that
straight lines are still a dominant
characteristic and that the stthouette
continues with slight divergences,
practically the same as It has been. Of
course, this ts not meant to convey
the fmpression that last year’s frocks
are good for this year. There ts that
subtle difference, slight though tt may
appear upon the surface, that marks
one of the newer gowns as distinetive-
ly new. There can be no doubt about
it. It has its own marks of novelty
and ts above everything else a spring
1821 creation.
Each of the couturiers in Paris, it
would seem, has outdone himself in
the creation of gowns for this latest
season. The collections have been un-
usuaily large and the examples are
more vivid than was expected. And
the various types of gowns, it may be
encouragingly reported, are thorough-
ly adaptable to the uses of the Amer-
ican woman.
Skirts Longer in Paris.
‘Skirts are longer in Paris—that one
point is an established thing, but, just
to prove that there is never one rule
to govern the French couturier, Jenny
has made all of her frocks and suits
with skirts as short as ever they have
been. To be sure, bere are the youth-
ful types, and, at any rate, those
among the American women who now
are rejoicing in very short skirts have
Jenny to uphold thelr cholee; they
can refer to her decision if thelr judg-
ment should hang in the balance.
Polret, on the other hand, has
dropped his skirts to 2 point below
the ankles and he is making them
as full as can be, with positive puffs
gut over the hipline. All of the other
couturiers range between these two
jevets; Callot likes them shorter, and
some one else likes them longer, so|
there is at least a cholce, and every
woman has the privilege of choosing |
the thing that becomes her best.
‘Skirts are falter, too, than they have,
been. A few of them are circular in
cut apd another few plaited Even
the straight skirts that follow the line
of the figure are allowed a lttle mor
roominess than they have had recent- |
y, though those for sults and street
dresses are kept fairly couservative

that Scipio Africanus was the man

the light and spreading its arms wider
and wider until all the persecuted
flocks of heaven find refuge beneath
its protecting shade—Henry Van
Dyke.
Amnereria.
For many hundreds of years amber-
gris has been employed in sacerdotal
ites of the church, and with fragrant
gums it was formerly burned in the
apartments of-royality. To some ex-
tent it was used as a medicine and
‘as a flavoring for certain dishes. Now-
adays ambergris is utilized almost ex-
clusively in the manufaeture of per-
fumes and the preparation of fine
acents being first converted into a
tincture by dissolution in alcohol.
‘To Soften Skins.
There are two simple ways of soft-
ening leather and raw skins. One is
to rub in thoroughly neat’s-foot oll.
The other is to dissolve three ounces
of alum, seven ounces of salt and one
and one-half ounces saleratus in sufll-
cient hot rain water to saturate the
akin. When cool enough not to scald
the hands soak the skin in it for 12
hours; wring out and hang up to dry.
When dry repeat this operation two or
three times until the skin is sufficient-
ly soft.
‘The Savior in Profane History.
Among the historical references to
Jesus Christ which are undisputed is
that made by Tacitus, the Roman his-
torian, who on speaking of the Chvis-
tians ‘said, “The originator of that
name had been executed in the reign
of Tiberius by order of the adminis-
trator, Pontius Pilate.” This may be
found in the Annals of “Terevat. Ref-
erence to Christ is also made in the
“Antiquities of Josephus,” a Jewish his-
torian, who was contemporary with
Christ, but this passage is declared by
ome to be a forgery.
Smell but Don't Taste.
Myrall or violetwood of Australia,
the product of two species of Acacia,
has the delightful scent of violets
which becomes very pronounced when
being worked. says the American For-
estry Magazine. if one wishes to re-
tain a high opinion of this wood it is
well. met to taste it.

80,000 feet.

First Studies of the Human Body.
Early studies in human anatomy were conducted under many difficulties. Aristotle was among the first to study the human body, about 850 B. C. Through all the years there was objection to dissection of bodies to verify facts, and when Titian designed and had completed the first anatomical plates they were destroyed by Vesalius, about 1598.
Cement Must Be Heated.
It is often convenient to have a cement that will resist considerable temperatures. Here is the recipe for a good heat-withstanding cement: Take fifty parts of sulphur, one part of resin and one part of tallow. Take these ingredients together and add fine powdered glass to form a paste. This cement must be heated before being used.
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.
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 cooked the substance formed is known as vulcanite. Many things besides fountain pens are made from vulcanite, such as combs, buttons and knifehandles. 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.
It would seem that a building 2,000 feet above the sea level should be protected by lightning rods, but the astronomical observatory at Mount Kina 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.

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. Drake drilled the first oil well in the United States in August, 1899, near Oil City, Fa. The first discovery of oil in Canada was made in 1857 near Petrolia, Ont.
Freedom.
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.
Dirt Obscures Light of Lamp.
When the lamps become old and score or less dirt between cleaning parts the smitted light fails off about 25 per cent, according to the Electrical World. Consequently, for a desired foot-candle illumination, the rating of the lamps must be about 25 per cent higher than that found necessary from the calculations based on the efficiency of new, clean lamps.
Rubber Pane.
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 killeenhandles. It forms a useful substitute for horn twory and Jet. A new method has just been discovered for vulcanizing rubber, and this makes such articles much cheaper.

Drum With Harmonica.
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.
Trout a Cannibal.
The trout is cannibalistic, feeding upon its own kind when necessity compels, says the American Forestry Magazine, and in numerous instances when necessity does not compel.
The Trouble.
"Everybody about that bank seems to be catching cold. Is it damp?"
"No; but there are so many drafts about it."
Best of All Things.
It is a good thing to be rich, and it is a good thing to be strong, but it is a better thing to be loved of many friends—Exchange.
Life Calls for Our's Best.
To make a success of life you must be always at it with your eye on the job. Diversion will stimulate far more intensive effort, but the effort itself must have no diverting influence. "This one thing I do," says the apostle, and in doing it he wins. Keep your eye on the ball and put your best into the game.
