Zion Baptist Church, 1103 Clark St., Evanston, Ill., October 11th to 13th inclusive, under the auspices of Mt. Moriah Lodge No. 28 of that city. Business of vital importance will demand the entire time and attention of all the brethren therefore the Most Worshipful Grand Master, Thomas H. Samuels of Chicago who will preside, has appointed the following most important standing committees, to begin work promptly at 9:30 A. M., Sat., Oct. 8th, at the Masonic Progressive Club Rooms, 3058 S. State St., Chicago, in order that the brethren named may finish their work and be ready to make their reports at the session Tuesday, Oct. 11th. The committees are: Jurisprudence, Jas E. White, Chicago; A. A. Martin, Cairo; W. B. Samuels, Chicago; B. S. Christmon, Chicago. Appeals and Grievances: R. J. B. Ellington, Chicago; J. W. Moore, Chicago; Herman Henry, Peoria; C. W. Curtis, Springfield; Thos. D. McDonald, Joliet. Grand Master's Address: R. E. Moore, Chicago; S. B. Walkup, Moine; R. G. Bell, Chicago. Returns of Lodges: J. R. Hicks Rock Island; J. S. Huinucit, Centralia; Gus Dixon, Champaign; A. A Henderson, Chicago; G. G. Fletcher Galesburg. Auditing: Baker DePugh, Evanson; A. Dosey, Lovejoy, R. R. Rogan, Decatur. To Elect Grand Master Mr. T. H. Samuels will succeed himself to the chair for the second time. Despite the fact that there are a number of acknowledged candidates in the field, it is plain to be seen that the work he has done, together with the plans he now has for the good of the craft, merit his unanimous re-election. It would really be folly to change the chief executive at this time, because of the condition of affairs now existing in the state between the regular and spurious masons. And then Mr. Samuels' program for building Temples, buying property and securing the finance of the individual lodges through bonds, etc., thus establishing their economic independence, together with other modern methods and systems he has instituted, has so endeared him to his constituents' that they will voice their appreciation by re-electing him by acclamation. The Grand Secretary Another Important issue to come before the Grand Lodge will be the THE BROAD AX election of a Grand Secretary to succeed the late James C. Adams who died at Springfield June 2nd of this year. Though there are several worthy candidates in the field. The Grand Lodge will be asked to confer the Actual Past Master's Degree upon John Harold White of Springfield, the present acting Grand Secretary, thus making him elegible to nomination and election to the position. For efficiency, Mr. White has no competitor. He is thoroughly versed in the use of all modern office furniture, fixtures and devices, some of which he has installed in the office of the Grand Secretary during the past four months. He has already brought the greatest abundance of modern system and efficiency to the office ever had in the history of the Craft. He has had twenty years of experience in business, office and fraternal work. He is the only member of the Race ever employed as clerk in the State Traesury of Illinois, where he handles about everything from books, to bonds and money, also all the warrants issued by the state, doing all the tabulation and much of the registration and cancellation. In handling the papers and accounts of the Grand Lodge he is equally systematic and exact. He keeps a daily record of all receipts and disbursements, issues an official receipts for all money received, files all correspondence (for records), where it is obtainable instantly in the dark if necessary. He has complied with the law of the constitution in every particular, as it defines the duties of the Grand Secretary. If he is retained he will save the Grand Lodge more money and reserget more taxes due the Grand Lodge from Lodges, than any predecessor. Mr. White has served for the past ten years as Asst. Grand Keeper of Records and Seal of the Knights of Pythians Grand Lodge of Illinois and is its District Deputy Grand Chancellor of his district. He is secretary of the league of Colored Republican Clubs of Illinois and resigned the position of acting cashier for the Enterprise Saving Bank of Springfield to enter the Government Service. He was appointed and installed assistant Grand Secretary while he was Warden of his lodge, and instituted a system whereby the number of men required to take the Grand Lodge proceedings was reduced. He was appointed to fill the unexpired term of the late James C. Adams for the best interest of the craft, because of his ability, efficient methods and knowl- CHICAGO, ILL.

Boston, Mass.—An important victory was won on civil rights here this week by Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, pastor of the 12th Baptist Church and National President of the National Equal Rights League, in the case of his own son, Harvey, a grandson and nameake of Rev. Harvey Johnson of Baltimore. Young Harvey was sent to apply for admission to the Huntington School (preparatory) of the Y. M. C. A. and advised to go elsewhere because his color would cause him embarrassment. Rev. Shaw rushed to the Y. M. C. A. and hotly protested. He then sent a strong letter to the Board of Governors of the School. The Y. M. C. A. called a meeting of Directors and Department Heads, Tuesday morning on this letter and they sent Rev. Shaw a letter assuring him that the Y. M. C. A. would not tolerate any color line and recommitting his case to the school where he would be at liberty to apply without prejudice. While the Y. M. C. A. Council was in session Secretary Wm. Monroe Trotter applied by telephone for a hearing for the Equal Rights League should there be need for one. Mr. B. E. Salden, Colored member of the secretary's staff, stood pat for his race. THE LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO, 3105 S. STATE STREET AND NO. 9 E. 31ST STREET, HAS INSTALLED ITS NEW STEEL SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES AND BURGLAR-PROOF VAULTS. Hon. George F. Leibrandt, President of the Lincoln State Bank of Chicago, who is greatly pleased or encouraged with the present business outlook and freely predicts that there will be a general revival in all lines of business this coming fall, states with much pleasure that after many long delays, the immense or ponderous fire-proof and burglar-proof steel vaults have been installed, which also include well on to one thousand safety deposit steel boxes, with thick cement floors and with solid walls, four or five feet thick constructed of solid steel and cement. There is no way on earth for the night robbers to dig or blast their way into the contents of the vaults. The large storage rooms in connection with the vaults are constructed along the same lines and they are absolutely fire- and burglar-proof. cent and wonderful oil painting of Abraham Lincoln, which cost five thousand dollars.

Can't Return to Lexington Friends Fear Mob Violence Should McRary Return South to Settle Business Affairs. CINCINNATI, O.—It has leaked out that Baxter McRary, wealthy citizen of Lexington, N. C., put up $40,000 in order of settle out of court suits of H. B. Varner, white, against him for alienating the affections of Mrs. Varner. Of this amount, $20,000, it is said, will be paid to Varner's lawyers, and the remaining $20,000 to Mr. McRary's lawyers and to pay the court costs. Varner is also said to have put up $50,000, $25,000 of which goes to his wife and the remainder to pay her attorney's fees and court costs. It is reported that Mr. McRary feels that he has saved $60,000 by settling the case out of court. The whites it is said, had planned to ruin him by so arranging matters with Mrs. Varner, his only witness, that she would not testify. Altogether they planned to make the cost $100,000. Not Safe in Lexington Dr. I. Garland Penn, friend of Mr. McRary and an official of the M. E. Church, in which Mr. McRary is an ardent worker, has just returned from Lexington, N. C., and reports that it is not safe for Mr. McRary to return home yet. Mr. McRary, himself, is anxious to go back because of his poor health here and because his business affairs are tied up in his home city. Mob violence, however, is threatened, should he return. The case attracted considerable publicity last spring when Varner sued his wife for divorce and sued Mr. McRary for $50,000 damages, charging him with stealing his wife's affections.

THE DRIVE FOR THE FORT DEARBORN HOSPITAL HAS BEEN CONTINUED INDEFINITELY BY HON. THOMAS CAREY, CHAIRMAN OF THE CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE. Owing to the fact that the ladies soliciting for the Fort Dearborn Hospital, still have a vast number of pledge cards standing out and thousands of calls to make on persons who have indicated that they are willing to make contributions or donations to the Fort Dearborn Hospital. Hon. Thomas Carey, general chairman of the campaign committee, has decided to extend the drive to some time in the future. Thursday afternoon a number of ladies met in the parlors of the Appomattox Club, 3622 Grand Boulevard, and they firmly decided to do everything within their power to assist to raise the one hundred thousand dollars for the Fort Dearborn Hospital and Training School for Colored Nurses. COLORED MAN GETS VERDICT UNDER CIVIL RIGHTS ACT. Hackensack, N. J.—Samuel A. Barnett, colored, of 71 West 132nd street, New York, has been awarded a verdict of $100 against the Philadelphia Confectionery Company of 166 Main street, by a jury in the Third District Court of Bergen county. The suit was based on the civil rights act, adopted by the last Legislature, and it is believed this was the first case under this act to be tried in this place. Barnett alleged that on August 9 he entered the ice cream parlor of the defendants, and the attendants refused to serve him with soda water. Upon returning later, Barnett said, he obtained it, but, he declared, was charged an excessive price. The act, under which recovery in the above case was secured, was introduced by Dr. W. G. Alexander, Assemblyman from Orange, Essex county. THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899 without missing one single issue.

A BUNCH OF TYPE OR TWO HUNDRED, MORE OR LESS THE NEGRO My blood is red, my blood is sweet That is why my life's complete. My heart is good, my nerves are fine. That is why I'm so divine. With muscles strong, if work is long I sweat the whole day with a song. So when I quit the day's turmoil, I find that I am fit, from toil. My skin is black, my heart is pure, All the better I endure The summer's heat, the winter's cold; Strength makes health and that is gold. Prejudice has made me work, And if to have, I must not shirk; And so I play the game so time, Without a flame to make a name. I'm never sad, 'most always glad, Don't freet for what I haven't had. Madness makes me feel peeved, de- ceived And grieved, and never relieved. So what's the use to make excuse And spend a life in cruel abuse? Sometimes a fate can cause a hate That never ends until too late, And then it turns, bruises and burns And costs more than a fellow earns. It's best, my boy, to have some joy, And all the idle hours employ In making hay every day, It makes life pay and opens the way To greater things and brings You up among the kings, and rings Through ages a song of cheer, Makes you have no earthly fear. My blood is sweet, my blood is red, I have knowledge in my head. I have blood that's sweet and strong. Fills my life up with a song Helps me pass the whole day through Living circumspect and true. With a heart filled up with good, Helping all the ways I should: So when all my toil on earth is o'er, I need do nothing more. The Present Age Requires a High Status of the Necro.

Having a head and a heart full of good intentions, but putting off to some long and distant day to do the things which you are able to do today. The race has staggered and stumbled over smooth roads for more than fifty years. We must not forget that our success means doing the difficult things, and overcoming obstacles, and turning our defeats into victories. This requires toil, effort rightly directed with a determined spirit to win the coveted things, rather than have something to be done by others that we must do for ourselves.

The young men and women of our race who have decided to take up a professional course be it law, medicine, or theology, millinery, or any of commercial courses have said that they dislike drudgery, and are willing to deny, and sacrifice "good time nonsense" in order that they may in the future take their rightful places among the great men and women of the future.

All you have to do is just be on the look out or either, or both and believe me, you will have a good time looking, and laughing.

One thing is sure and certain the edict of the leaders of fashion is out, and styles can do any thing with a woman but one thing it can't make her stop talking. NOW WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT? The Arbuckle and the Rappe episode, the Burch and Obenchain case, the Hannan murder, the Church fiendishness, the Wanderer, and the Geary case, together with about five hundred other instances of low breeding among some people who are always chanting about white superiority ought to make them "go away back and sit down. Africa has never been quite as bad as Broadway. Crime and its blood, stream can be traced among white savages as far back as Cain, and yet some people have the courage to try to look innocent and feel pleasant when they lecture to Negroes about going as Missionaries to the dark continent to lift up their brothers into barbarism, and superstition. Why shades of Hannibal, a South African monkey would feel aggrieved over such audacity and stupidity. "Philosophy Bill." --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1921. MIGHTY HARD JOB; SOME FOLKS ARE AWFUL STUBBORN. Getting a large portion of our race to think seriously about the conditions that appertain to them, and which must be overcome by us for the benefit of the rest of us is quite a job. A job which it may appear is not all profitable, and yet there is not enough money coined that could pay for such a valuable service. But we must not lose heart, some of the men and women we know will ere long quit making fools of themselves before cheap white folk. "Watchman." CHIEF RANGER ROBERT B GLOVER OF FORESTERS RE- STRAINED BY ORDER OF COURT. For several months past there has been a controversy between Chief Ranger Robert B. Glover, and the Trustees of Court General Robert Elliott, Ancient Order of Foresters as to who had the right to supervis the property of the lodge and collect rents and other monies due to the Lodge. During the controversy Chief Ranger Glover seized control of the property belonging to the Lodge located at 4356 and 4358 South State Street and 4644 and 4646 Champlain avenue, and collected rent for five months and refused to make any reports to the trustees or turn over any money to the Lodge and contended that he had opened a special account at Binga's State Bank known as the Building Fund and was depositing all the money in the said fund. Upon investigation the Trustees found that he, Robert Glover, had the so-called Building Fund in his own name and was being checked out by Robert B. Glover, as his personal account without any authority or order from the Lodge. The matter came up before the Lodge for action and the Chief Ranger, Robert B. Glover, by use of steam-roller tactics forced through a motion which he contended gave him full authority to manage and collect rent from the aforesaid real estate. The members of the Lodge believed that they should have an attorney to advise them in matters concerning its real estate and property and unanimously elected Attorney Harris B. Gaines of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks as their attorney. Attorney Gaines advised the Lodge that under the laws of the Ancient Order of Foresters and the State of Illinois, Chief Ranger Glover had no right to manage the said real estate and collect and deposit money in his own name and make contracts to bind the Lodge and collect commission from the Lodge. Chief Ranger Glover was displeased with Attorney Gaines' opinion and advise and stated he did not want a Negro lawyer to advise him and that he would pay no attention to any opinion of a Negro lawyer. He stated he was being advised by a big firm of white lawyers in the loop and was satisfied he was being advised correctly. Chief Ranger Glover ignored the advice of Attorney Gaines and continued to collect the money of the Lodge and placed it in his private bank account. Henry S Goins, Samuel Alston and George R Woodson, knowing that Negro lawyers studied in the same schools and from the same books as white lawyers and had brains to think, took the advice of Attorney Gaines and demanded that Glover withdraw the Lodge's money from his private account at Binga's State Bank and turn the same over to them. This Mr. Glover refused to do and said he was banking on the advice given him by his big white lawyers. The trustees reported the action of Chief Glover to Attorney Gaines and he instructed him to bring suit against Chief Ranger Glover to restrain him from collecting and spending the Lodge's money and on September 17th suit was filed by Attorney Harris B. Gaines charging Glover with unlawfully collecting and spending the funds of the Lodge and placing the Lodge's money in his personal account. On September 19th Attorney Gaines appeared before Judge Torrison in the Circuit Court and asked that an injunction be issued restraining Robert B. Glover from collecting and spending the funds of the Lodge and from withdrawing any money whatsoever from Binga's State Bank. On Friday, September 30th, the matter was up for hearing before Judge Torrison. The trustees were represented by Attorney Harris B. Gaines and Richard E. Westbrooks of the firm of Ellis & Westbrooks and Chief Ranger Glover was represented by Andrews and Cohen, his big firm of white lawyers and the case had not proceeded far before it was apparent that Andrews and Cohen were no match for Westbrooks and Gaines. Every legal point raised was decided in favor of the lawyers for the Trustees. During the hearing Chief Ranger Glover was compelled to admit that the moneys of the Lodge that he claimed was in the Binga State Bank and had been withdrawn by him and that not a cent of the Lodge's money remained in the bank. The judge seemed amazed at Chief Ranger's conduct in handling the money of the Lodge and said Glover had no right to take charge of the Lodge's property and deposit the money to his own personal account and instructed him never again to deposit money belonging to the Lodge in his own name. Judge Torrison entered an order prohibiting Glover from collecting any money or exercising any control or authority over the Lodge's moneys collected and spent by him belonging to the Lodge, and to turn over to the Trustees all property, the paper and money belonging to the Lodge. The court further ordered that hereafter Lodge money be collected according to the laws of the State of Illinois and the laws of Ancient Order of Foresters. The order of the court was in harmony with the contentions and interpretations of the law by Ellis & Westbrook's firm. Mr. Gaines and Mr. Westbrooks of Consel, and against the interpretations of Andrews and Cohen, attorneys for Chief Ranger Glover. "C."

Cannady, prominent in club and religious circles, and editor of the Portland Advocate, one of the leading publications of the Northwest, published for Negroes, has recently been admitted to practice law in the State of Oregon.' The first case in which Mrs. Cannady appeared in behalf of the defendant came up in Judge Morrow's court on last Monday and resulted in a victory for the woman lawyer, in that when she took the case the Negro, who had been convicted on a charge of larceny, and sentenced to three years in the penitentiary, had his sentence reduced to six months on the rock pile.

CHARLES E. STUMP, THE FAST TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS IN A SHORT TIME WINGED HIS WAY FROM CHICAGO TO FORT WORTH, TEXAS. This world is full of surprises, and you may wake up any time and find yourself in the midst of a surprise. I saw a post card which said "Life is just one blank thing after another." I am getting to the place where I am understanding some of these things, and the more I understand them, the more I am—well, just something. When you pick up the daily papers, you are forced at times to become disgusted with human nature, with human beings, and wonder why God doesn't just shut up the earth and send them all to heaven or the other place. Murders, lynchings, Ku Klux Klan, a lawless organization which is liable to throw this whole country into civil strife, burning of human beings, men married and taking up time with other men's wives, and women taking away the husbands of other women, men and women destroying each other's families, men killing women and women killing men, and many other things are taking place in this world. There may not be men enough for all the women, but there are women enough for every man without a man invading the home of another man, and being sent to h—1 just where he belongs. With the number of single women, widows and others, there is no excuse for a man taking up the time of another fellow's wife. But why take up time with this when the world is so full of it, and then at the same time men are being killed for participating in such folly, until they are just keeping the devil so busy that there is but little time left for him to take a rest. While these things are going on, there are men and women, too, who are making good, and as I tramp over this country and come in touch with them, I am forced to say, "What wonderful things the Lord God hath wrought." I have taken an inventory of the world, so to speak, for the past few days, and you will believe me when I tell you I have been going some, and found the gossip monger as busy as the devil himself, getting in his deadly poisonous fangs into the hearts of industrious, busy people. It strikes me that I was right in Topeka, Kansas, when I took my pen in hand to write you a few lines to inform you of my health. There I was with Bishop Parks and others, I told you something about them, and when I got through I said goodnight and closed the letter. That was a real busy, big conference. When I got to Kansas City, I spent the night at the home of Dr. and Mrs. P. W. DeLyle, and it was a busy day for me. I wint in town early in the morning in company with Dr. J. R. Ransom, and met at the Lincoln High School, Mrs. Noreene Davis, and Miss Betha Garrett, two of the leaders in Calanthe of Kansas. We had lunch at the school prepared in the domestic science department of the school, and it was fine. I want to congratulate the head of the department as well as Prof. J. R. E. Lee, who is one of the most noted educators in this world. Prof. Lee is a man of great ability. After we were through eating he called up an important man over his hello box and told him that Mr. Charles E. Stump was in town, and he was learning the newspaper game and would like for him to come to the baseball game, and the next thing, Prof. Lee told me to go with Mrs. Davis and Miss Garrett to see the game. Mrs. Cross- waite toted us over in her automobile carriage. I am not used to seeing men ball it, but I was on hand. The man met us at the gate, escorted us in without cost, and put us in a box. We were covered all over with screens to keep the balling from hitting us. After I watched, I decided that ball is no longer a play, but it is a science. It is work, and believe me you must keep your eyes open. One fellow gets in the box they said, but I did not see any box, but at any rate he was called the pitcher, but believe me he threw that ball like he was trying to knock the devil out of some one, and a fellow would strike at it. At times he would not strike, but there was a white man who would say strike, and call him right out. Now when the game is on, you watch the fellow at the bat, the pitcher and the catcher, and the batsier keeps his eye on the pitcher, the basemen, the fielders and the short stop, and his aim is to make first base, then second, but often he may get to first but get put out before he reaches the second, and then he may make second and never see third, or even some fellows got on third and could not make it home. I just kept them two women busy until some fellow declared that I must be crazy, and the police said that I was not crazy but "nutty," whatever that is, but I told him I was learning how to be a reporter, and pulled out my pencil and paper and wrote for who should last the longest. I told that policeman if he got in my way I would write him up, and I think Grand Worthy Counselor Mrs. Davis told him that I was the most writingsen man in the world, and there must be something in it. I think these ladies will not care to go to another ball game with me. But I decided that life is only a game of ball and will talk about it later. I then went to St. Louis, and found that Prof. Aaron E. M. Malone was getting to be himself. He is improving and it is thought that soon he will be in the office, but he is not going to do much office work or any other kind this fall. He is going to rest and get back his health. There were busy times around Poro the day I was there, for they were fixing for a grand wedding, and it is all over now and the groom is celebrating his honey bee moon, and the bride is enjoying it with him. The bride was the bookkeeper for Poro College, Mrs. Velma Perkins, formerly of Nashville, Tenn, but has been writing down things in the Poro College books for a long time, so when she decided to marry, believe me Mrs. Malone just put the big pot in the little one, and there was an "Old Aunt Dolly" time in that Poro College. The groom was Raymond R. Davis, who is connected with the Penns ivana railroad, and is the son of the late James A. Davis, of Nashville, Tenn, who was a leader in the A. M. E. church, and a man of great ability. Now these two people of brains have united and are happy. I congratulate both of them, and may they live long. I made it to Springfield, Alton, Chicago, and believe me my eyes have been made to fly wide open in Chicago. I got in company with Charles Stewart, Jr., and he invited me to go with him to pay a tribute to James Neal, the father of Earle Neal. Mr. Neal had just paid the debt that we all must pay, and as he was the father of Earl, Charles felt it his duty to go and say a word of cheer to the widow and her son. That boy has some real horse sense, and without a doubt he is the son of his father, and if he keeps on the world will know him. He is going to make his mark. He is now making pictures. While in this neighborhood I had the pleasure of visiting the home of the Overton Hygienic Mig. Co., and it is indeed a wonderful plant. It is no plaything, but believe me it ranks with the largest in this country. They used to manufacture the High Brown face powder—in fact they are doing that right now—and then they get out all kinds of toilet waters, perfumes, face powders and everything else that goes to produce beauty. Anthony Overton, of Kansas City, Mo., is the father of the Overton Hygienic Manufacturing Company. It had its inception in his fertile brain, 1898, just making a baking powder, spreading, spreading, until today they make 115 articles, and the doth not yet appear all it shall be. They do up into the thousands of dollars worth of business daily, and not a member of the other race connected with it. With that big business, Mr. Overton is courteous, and ever ready to take time with a visitor. He made me so welcome until I felt like I was some pumpkins. I went over much territory in getting in all the departments, and they are strictly business people, for which I am proud. Now you see I am getting to be some pumpkins, and I thought so when Mr. Overton carried me around over his place of business and I saw all the clerks at work, and then the Walinger The New Governor-General of the Philippine Islands, Who Was Confirmed by the United States Senate for That Responsible and Important Position This Week.

DEVINE ATTORNEY AT LAW State ILLINOIS TRUST & SAY La Salle and Jackson Street Certain species of birds which inhabit eastern Africa possess the largest and strongest beaks known to ornithologist. One of these is the open-bill or shell ibis. It is a long-legged, stork-like bird, which has a beak like a nut-cracker. The parts of the bill cannot be closed in the middle. It eats frogs and fishes, but its favorite food is fresh water molluses, the shells of which it can crush with the powerful beak. THE GUNS OF THE GUNS OF THE GUNS MAKING IT ROUGH FOR THE POOR BANDITS Employes of the Lincoln State Bank at 3105 South State Street are carefully trained to protect deposits against robbers.

From left to right they are: Mr. George S. Campbell, cashier; Lillian Anderson, teller; Addison E. Avery, manager of the savings department, and Miss Burke. business going on, and even met the young man who knows how to make all those things. Wonderful brain power, and all belongs to my race. I just felt like shouting. I am getting ready now to go to California next fall to the National Baptist convention. It is going to be a big meeting, and so many people just like I am getting ready to go. You will be pleased to know that Attorney W. H. Harrison is now on the Lord's side. In other words, he has connected himself with the National Baptist convention, and in the future will be found right with us. One by one they are returning home. You will hear next of Dr. C. H. Clark, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist church, getting right with his people. A man may follow wrong for awhile, but when his eyes are opened he will flee from it and get right. We have not been abusing any one, but going right on. While on this permit me to say that I have been in touch with a great tooth docter-dentist and he has half-soled some teeth for me. I can't see how Dr. O. I. Hawkins of 3502 State street can dig and dig in your teeth without hurting, but that's what he has been doing for me. He was assisted by an efficient young woman, Miss Ilene Love, who was born 'way down in Texas, but who is well educated and she is going to be one of their tooth dentist-doctors too. I shall say more about them later, as my time is up. Write to me, care Dr. N. T. Wallis, Temple Building, Fort Worth, Texas. REACHES MEMPHIS Mrs. Annie Davis has reached her home at Memphis, Tenn., after visiting our city as well as St. Louis, Mo., and Detroit, Mich., since the close of the Session of The National Baptist Convention.

To treat the other man as you would have him treat you is an equally fundamental business principle.

Salt is what is called "hygroscopic," that is, it eagerly absorbs moisture. In fact, both air and salt are absorbents of moisture and it is a contest between them as to which gets it. Results depend on atmospheric conditions. Ordinary atmosphere always contains a proportion of moisture, and warm air is apt to be more humid than cold, as it absorbs and holds water vapor more readily than cold air. Salt has such affinity for moisture that under such conditions it draws it from the air. When the air becomes dry, the moisture is given up by the salt, which in turn becomes dry as it returns the moisture to the air. Nautical Terms. Gross tonnage is obtained by dividing the whole cubical capacity of a ship by 100, that many English cubic feet representing a ton. Net tonnage is the gross tonnage less deduction for machinery, crew and other spaces not used for passengers or cargo. Deadweight tonnage or tonnage capacity is the number of tons which can be carried in the holds when the vessel is charged to the load-water line. Displacement tonnage used with reference to warships is the actual weight of sea water displaced by the vessel when charged with all its weight to the load-water line. Avoid Being Irritant. Some folks are just plain irritants. You don't know why it is you don't like them. But you surely don't like them. By word and deed they get under your skin and you feel mean at being so touchy. But it can't be helped—they irritate. Do your best to get beyond the irritation stage. You can put up with a lot when you train yourself to it. In the end you may find that part of the irritation belongs to your self. Come on. Be a sport. Buck up—Grit. Few Insects Harmful to Man Relatively speaking, very few species of insects are harmful in any way to man and his works. The injurious species amount to less than 1 per cent of the whole. On the other hand, a great many species are beneficial to mankind. Pollination of crops like clover would be impossible without insect visitations, and the same is true of many garden flowers and important fruits. Fortunes Left to Pets Sometimes cats fare very well as beneficiaries under wills. It was a Parisian woman, a few years ago, who left 10,000 francs to her cat. On its death the money was to be spent on elementary schools. The feline has since died and the money distributed according to directions. In numerous instances fortunes have been left to found homes for cats and dogs. Sometimes these wills have been dictated by love of animals, while in others, alas, they have been written merely for the purpose of "getting even" with grasping relatives. Regiment Proud of Long Service. The Third infantry, the oldest regiment of our army, which dates from 1784, has developed its arms to show its early service in Mexico. One interesting device used by this regiment is a baton crossed with an oldtime bayonet back of the shield. The baton which fi'lares prominently in the regiment's history was made from the flagstaff of the capitol of the City of Mexico and was taken when the city was captured. It is still one of the most highly prized possessions of the regiment. Spread of Bathing in Europe Bathing came to Europe as one of the good results of the Crusades. The Knights of the Cross found baths in general use among the Saracens, and seeing what good things they were, on returning from those wars took the initiative for their introduction. In this they were highly successful first in England and from that to other countries. So popular did the bath come that it became customary to have one before ceremonies such as marriage or knighthood, and the people have been ever since learning the value of keeping their skins clean. Profitable Eggshells In no instance are the shells of the eggs used by the Italian vendors of ice cream sold in the London streets broken. They are pierced at each end and blown by the mouth, the perfect shells being sold to the proprietors of shooting galleries. Electricity and Chinese Demons. Word has come from Shanghai that employees of the China Electric company recently called in a native priest to drive away the demon in an electric buzz saw which had cut off two of the operator's fingers. After the ceremony the workmen returned to their tasks contentedly. The manager of the plant felt that, despite the superstition displayed, these Chinese workmen were accepting electricity in their own way—North American. Had No Rights at All. Paul and Anthony own a wagon in partnership. Sometimes Paul exerts a little more authority than is pleasing to Anthony. On one of these occasions Anthony sought his mother and, after yelling his troubles, added: "Mother, Paul treats me like the ugly sisters treated Cinderella." Flag Etiquette. When the flag passes in a parade or review, the spectator should, if walking, halt; if sitting, arise, stand at attention and salute. Civilians should remove their hats, although women are expected only to stand respectfully until the colors pass. All men in uniform of any branch of the army and navy are required to stand at attention and salute until the colors have passed. "Crepuscular" Sun Rays The beams of light sometimes seen radiating from the sun when not far from the horizon are called "crepuscular rays." They are due to rays of light passing through breaks in the clouds and made visible by dust or the drops of water in the air. Their apparent divergence is an effect of perspective. The phenomenon is popularly described as "the sun drawing water"; sailors speak of the "sun's backstays," while Homer wrote of the "rosy-fingered dawn." Indians Have Curious Numeration. The Indians of Guiana have a curious system of numeration. They count by the hand and its four fingers. Thus, when they reach five, instead of saying so, they call it a "hand." Six is therefore a "hand and first finger"; seven, a "hand and second finger." Ten is "two hands." But 20, instead of being "four hands," is a "man." Forty is "two men," and thus they go on by twenty. Forty-six is expressed as "two men, a hand and first finger." Force of Gravity. Force of gravity varies according to height above sea level and distance from the equator. As the force of gravity is 32.1612 feet a second in New York, 32.1528 feet a second in San Francisco and 32.1184 in Key West, an object would weigh most in New York and least in Florida. Her Probable Intention Wright had been sent to the bank with his weekly amount, and when he returned he did not have his book. His mother asked him where it was. After quite a little hesitation he confided to her in a whisper. "Well, mother, the girl took it and kept it. I think she wanted to weigh it." Another Theory of the Flood Another Theory of the Plood. A new theory of the flood has been discovered in South Africa. Hydrographers investigating the waterways of Uganda have found indications that Lake Victoria and other central African lakes were at one time vast inland seas, which a little excess of rainfall would cause to overflow into the lands to the north. The discovery of primitive stone implements along the old water levels prove these to have been within the "human" period. Invaluable Coating for Tubes. In the process of J. Marcusson, a resinous coating is given tubes or hollow bodies of cement, concrete or mortar by action of formaldehyde on phenols or other like compounds. The coating gradually becomes insoluble on exposure to air, and is thus given resistance to the action of mineral or fatty oils. The Water Spider A spider that lives under water builds a nest of silk among weeds in ponds and ditches, and fills the nest with air. In that strange house it lives and lays its eggs. In autumn it makes another nest, seals itself inside and sleeps until spring. They Can Afford It. Our guess is that the only people who laugh and grow fat are those who don't have to work for their board. —Galveston News. FUNERAL DIRECTORS ERNEST H.

In rooms where the floor is not covered with a soft carpet the moving of chairs is often the cause of a good deal of noise. The trouble may be remedied in this way: From thick felt cut small rounds to glue on to the feet of the chairs. These can be secured from an old hat or cut from an old piece of floor covering. The chairs can then be moved about quietly even on the hardest doors. Chicago
