"It is a real pleasure for me to congratulate the Mangin Junior High School Boys on their graduation. Certainly no one wishes them—one and all—more success in their lines of future undertakings than I do. Our country spells opportunity. The door is never closed to the young man who wants to get on and is determined to make good. Everything depends on the young man himself—on his energy, his honesty, his enthusiasm, his health, and his determination. My advice to a young man, starting out in the world, is to select some avenue of human endeavor congenial to his hopes and his ambitions, and then follow it without deviation to the end. Sooner or later, he will reach the end, and his efforts will be crowned with glorious success. Do not try to do many things, because if you do, the chances are you will do none of them well. Select carefully what you want to do. Stick to it. Do not get discouraged. Learn to do one thing well. Try to be first in that one thing. Make up your mind to know all about it that can be known no matter what it is. Being great in one thing, most people will think you are great in many things. Only the very few can be great in several things. So select your vocation in life—and keep saying in your mind you are going to be the most successful person in the world in that line of endeavor. If you will stick to it, never lose faith in yourself; never lose sight of your destination; never lose confidence in your ability; the time will come when you will succeed far beyond the dreams of your most sanguine expectations." HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN, MEMBER OF CONGRESS FROM THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS, CHAIRMAN OF THE APPROPRIATION COMMITTEE OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WAS ACCORDED A WARM RECEPTION BY MANY OF HIS FRIENDS AND CONSTITUENTS ON HIS SHORT VISIT TO THIS CITY THE PAST WEEK. HON. MARTIN B. M. OF CONGRESS CONGRESSIONAL ILLINOIS, CHAIR PROPRIATION OF THE HOUSE OF TIVES, WAS ACC RECEPTION BY FRIENDS AND O HIS SHORT VIS THE PAST WEEK Congressman Madden spent a busy day in his home district last Sunday. Beginning early in the morning, when he left his rooms at the Union League Club, this champion of human liberty was the center of an endless round of functions. At two o'clock he appeared before the Second Ward Republic Club, where among those present were politicians, precinct committee and workers of the First Congressional District, wheelhorses like Senator Ettelson, Alderman Jackson, Alderman Anderson, W. A. Bither, Francis Brady, Adolph Marks, Oscar DePriest, Edward H. Wright, Morris Lewis, Adelbert H. Roberts, Charles A Griffin, James A. Scott and many others. Congressman Madden "gave account of his stewardship" and in his characteristic way recounted the work of the present United States Congress. The congressman also congratulated the district on the fact that they had sent to Congress the man who is now chairman of the House appropriations committee. Senator Ettelson was called upon, pledged his every endeavor for the second ward organization which he recognized as responsible for his elevation politically. Col Bither, Mr. Roberts and Alderman Anderson also spoke. At about three o'clock the congressman found himself whirled in an automobile to the Pilgrim Baptist Church, where he spoke to a large audience. Alderman DePriest, who was in charge of the congressman, then piloted him to a reception by the Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P., held in the parlors of the Railroad Men's Club, 3441 Wabash Avenue, where a most impressive testimonial was accorded Mr. Madden. Morris Lewis presided and introduced Mrs. Bush Banks, acting executive secretary of the Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P., who, in most beautiful fashion, spoke the appreciative sentiment of the branch for the work Mr. Madden had done in support of the passage of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, closing her excellent remarks by presenting to this champion of human liberty a handsome silk umbrella. Accustomed as is Mr. Madden to speaking before the great national congress, vast audiences and amidst diversified surroundings, he was at this moment overcome. Speechless with the emotion that was surging within him it was some moments and accompanied with tears before his response was audible to the breathless, waiting audience of officers and members of the association assembled. Mr. Madden expressed his deep realization of the honor paid him which he questioned as being wholly deserved, for he said he had but done his duty and was entitled to no credit for having the courage of his convictions. The brief function was brought to a close, those present following Congressman Madden and Mr. DePriest in partaking of light refreshments and having the hand of fellowship in all those present. Mr. Madden is a member of the Chicago Branch, N. A. A. C. P., in "good and regular standing." A large audience assembled in the evening at the service of the Community Center at Wendell Phillips High School, Rev. W. D. Cook, pastor; Mr. Harvey A. Watkins, president of the Sunday Evening Club, presiding; the 5 CENTS per copy No. 22 ans are d There g Ahead s, Tues- MADDEN, MEMBER FROM THE FIRST DISTRICT OF RMAN OF THE AP- COMMITTEE OF OF REPRESENTA- CORDED A WARM MANY OF HIS CONSTITUENTS ON SIT TO THIS CITY K. principal speaker again being Congressman Madden. The usual excellent music was furnished by Prof. J. Wesley Jones and his chair. On the arrival of the speakers' party, the following were seated on the platform: Congressman Madden, State Representative Roberts, Edward H. Wright, Sandy Trice, Charles A. Griffin, Morris Lewis, Julius F. Taylor( T. L. Prattis. Mr. Madden spoke at length of the progress of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill to its successful passage, recounting the valiant work done by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. He sounded a warning that the work was not finished and that some more fighting would be necessary in the senate. Which reminds the voters of this district that pressure should be brought to bear on the senior and junior senators from Illinois, asking their support of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Congressman Madden was presented in a very fine speech by Mr. Edward H. Wright. Again the chauffeur stepped on the self-starter in the magnificent limousine conveying the congressman's party, and away the machine rolled for the last event of the day. By the time the party reached the Appomattox Club, around 9:30 P. M., the magnificent parlor of the club were filled with the representative men of the city who belong to the organization. Here another magnificent staging was set. Amidst great applause the speakers' party entered: Congressman Madden, Edward H. Wright, S. A. T. Watkins, Alderman Dearpist, Alderman Jackson, Alderman Anderson, Anderson, David B. Hawley, Charles L. Duke and Dr. Carl G. Roberts, the latter of whom acted as master of ceremonies and well did his part. After appropriate remarks by Dr. Roberts in opening the meeting, President Watkins was called upon, after which Mr. Wright, first president of the club, responded, followed by the real introduction of the congressman by Mr. Oscar DePristi. Mr. Madden, not at all weary after his strenuous day among his constituents, was in a very happy frame of mind and mindful of the ecomiums that were thrust upon him, all of which he carried with easy grace. Realizing he was addressing the colored men of Chicago who "do things," the congressman directed his words along lines of constructive labor in support of legislation destined to relieve injustice and inhumanity, again calling attention, as he had on other occasions, to the fact that the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill had still another hurdle to make. After the close of his speech Mr. Madden was once more the recipient of the hand of fellowship from his faithful colored followers, believers and supporters of Illinois—for they were there from all over, even as far away as Blue Island and Evanston. Among those prominent at the Appomattox Club meeting were: Morris Lewis, Julius F. Taylor, T. L. Prattis, James Woodard, James W. Camp, Joe B. Crum, Nathan Calfwell, Abe Jones, Dr. George Thornton, Frank S. Stephens, Charles Morrison, J. N. Blackshear, F. V. Babb, John Oglesby, J. Gray Lucas, Dr. Robert H. Hardin, Hon. James G. Cotter, and others. THE BROAD AX Published Every Saturday In this city since July 15th, 1899, without missing one single issue.

EARTHQUAKES By M. A. Majors, M. D. Nothing is quite as important as truth. We smile to cover our sorrow and sometimes weep to express our joy. Camouflage is an imaginary screen, and who is so good that he would not hide behind it? The staunchest men and women are bent and twisted over the merest trifles, while the culprit and dare-devil will surrender to the innocence of a little child. Blarney is something all of us receive from our friends in exchange for our good will. Remembering the qualities of a departed friend cannot be misjudged nor mistaken. The Broad Ax has for a number of years allowed valuable space for portrayal of the character of men and women of the race passing away. Perhaps no other interest attaches quite as strong as the kindest recollections of those who "had a gladness and a smile" and who for us had a "healing sympathy." The ego is sometimes a discord in the silent chorus of human aspirations. The boy knows the apple is green, and he has had the colic, but true to the childish instinct of old man Adam he does not care A-dam. We are altogether upset when we undertake to study out the many reasons for a great many things that ```markdown ``` 1. J. HON. SAMUEL A.

Why will a woman let a dog kiss her, and allow a man to be mobbed for trying to kiss her? Why will a man grin and look satisfied and become extravagant, even to making some vampire look like a person of luxury, when he will howl and scowl and growl boisterous because his wife asked him for the very necessities? Why will a wife find fault of the husband and even allow others to talk about him to her, while yet the husband is in complete ignorance of his wife's dissatisfaction, and expected to make her a support? To sum the entire jumble of foolishness up we are of the opinion that they are just crazy and do not know it.

MEMORIAL ON ANTI-LYCHN BILL TO GO TO U.S. SENATE The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, has announced that a mass meeting would be held in the Town Hait on Wednesday evening, March 1, at which Representative Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri would speak. Mr. Dyer sponsored the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which was passed on January 26 by a vote of 230 to 119 in the House of Representatives. At the mass meeting a memorial will be adopted and sent to the United States Senate urging immediate passage of the Dyer bill, which is now in the hands of the senate committee on the judiciary. The Dyer bill defines a mob as three or more persons acting in concert to deprive any person of his life without authority of law, as punishment for some crime or to prevent commission of a supposed or actual public offense. It fines the county in which a lynching takes place $10,000, and makes participants in lynching liable to trial for felony. COLORED DEMOCRAT SECURES BIG JOB New York City.—Ferdinand Q. Morton, Esq., local Afro-American Democratic leader, was recently appointed a member of the Civil Service Commission of New Cork City by Mayor Hylan, Democrat, in recognition of the big Afro-American vote which helped re-elect the Tammany candidate last fall, under Morton's leadership. It is the best possible kind of an appointment for the benefit of the race, and the biggest we have ever received from a New York mayor. Salary, $11,000 a year. Morton was born in Mississippi, reared in Washington, educated at Harvard College and graduated from Boston University Law School; a product of mixed schools. He started at the bottom here, rose rapidly in politics and held many offices. Jas. McClendon, a member of the race, succeeds him as Assistant District Attorney; salary $5,000 a year.

THE SOUTHERN LEAGUE WILL SOON MEET IN ATLANTA The Southern Cooperative League, which is better known by its old name The Southern Sociological Congress, has called an important conference to meet at Atlanta, Ga., March 9. The Conference is planned to "review the present needs of the South," and to "work out definite plans for meeting those needs in a five year program." The stated aims of the Southern Cooperative League are: 1. To double the appropriations for public education. 2. To reduce the children's death rate one-third. 3. To prevent lynching and to secure inter-racial good will. 4. To provide a clearing house for information on social conditions. 5. To exalt the home to its porper place in Southern life.

Clinni, who has a splendid war or military record, which will always linger with him, he honestly states that he did not touch nor receive one penny of the $1,300 which fell into the pockets, so it is claimed, of Col. McGowan, to "fix" the whisky case for Walter B. Flowers. RUMMAGE SALE BRIEFS Crowds upon crowds of people poured into the Chicago Urban League Rummage Sale last week—some to buy, some laden with bundles which they brought to boost the sale. A man here wants a bed and gets it, another one stoops over a gigantic pile of shoes and finally gets three pairs for 50 cents. One six-footer looked in vain for a number eleven shoe. "Say you got any extra pants?" comes from another, who went away with a bed, three comforters, an overcoat and a pair of shoes, but no extra trousers. One woman got a hat for thirty-five cents, another quarrelled because she was charged fifty cents for another one. She wondered whether the extra fifteen cents was because the hat was red, "it is just like that one you sold for thirty-five." A lively scene it was and though at least ten salesmen and saleswomen were constantly selling from nine in the morning to eight and nine at night, the good friends of the League continued to send things so that the sale was extended into this week. The Executive Secretary T. Arnold Hill, who has just returned to the city from Richmond, Virginia, and New York, was greatly pleased at the cooperative spirit shown by League friends and supporters, and he thanks all who have assisted in any way in making the sale a success. Without them it could not possibly have been put over. A list of their names will appear later.—"C." --- [Picture of a man in a suit and tie]. HON. MATT. A.

A Literary Digest "Last night I got several magazines and a dish of nuts and ate them," said an Emporia college girl; and the Gazette dubs this sort of thing a literary digest. "Cupper's Weekly." I had been scolding one evening. The next afternoon my neighbor dropped in to inquire about my sister Jennie, who had been sick. I said I guessed the only thing that alled her was that she was run down. Little Bob, four years old, who had been listening, piped up: "Well, mother, why don't Aunt Jennie get wound up like dad said you were last night?"—Cleveland Plain Dealer. Come to Think of It. A man was describing to a woman the compensations of nature—how in the blind the feeling of touch was acute; how those who were deaf in one ear often heard clearly with the other, and how a person blinded in one eye often sees extra well with the sound eye. "Yes," said she, "it's remarkable. And, come to think of it, I have always noticed that if a person has one short leg the other is always longer."

STUMP, THE OLD-TIME REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS BEEN ENJOYING HIMSELF WITH HIS FRIENDS AT MONTGOMERY, ALABAMA, AND OTHER POINTS IN THE SOUTH. Montgomery, Ala.—"If you want to see the devil run, just get you a gospel gun." I used to hear the old saints say that when I was a boy, and these words have followed me up to this date, but I am about to understand the meaning of them, and I have been made to sing and shout, and I am so happy I hardly know what to do. I have been hearing about the various churches, and the number has been increasing right along, until now it is hard to tell just what you are meeting. The Lord has been very busy making denominations of late years, and now some of them are about to get together and become one great Christian body, fight sin and the devil, and I am told that they may route him out of hades. I hope they will keep him confined there just a little longer I have been here attending a great meeting, and it seems that it is one of them get together meetings. The African Methodist Episcopal Church, the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church have been courting and it looks to me like there is going to be a triangle marriage, or in other words, they are about to get together. I am in touch with God and I am praying to Him to let this thing happen just once, and you will agree with me that it would be a wonderful agency for good, and the other people would just sit up and take notice. I am told this is going to happen, and that real soon. It was a wonderful sight to see all these big men together and it certainly made me feel like I wanted to ask my Baptist religion to step aside and let me get some Methodist religion and get to be one more Bishop. I saw in the rank of the A. M. F. church Bishops, Benjamin Franklin Lee, Charles Spencer Smith, Levi J. Coppin, J. S. Flipper, William D. Cahppelle, John Hurst, William H. Heard, J. Albert Johnson, W. W. Beckett, I. N. Ross, Joshua A. Jones, William Decker Johnson, A. J. Carey, W. A. Fountain, W. Sampson Brooks, and W. T. Vernon. I just got in the 1910 [Name] HON. ALBERT NOWAK The most popular Polish-American in Cook County, who will be renominated to make the race for County Commissioner. habit of naming the bishops and put down two who were way over in Africa, brooks and Vernon, but they were thought of just the same and I sent up a prayer for them myself. Now of the A. M. E. Zion Church there were present: Bishops J. S. Caldwell, G. L. Blackwell, L. W. Kyles, W. L. Lee, George C. Clement, J. W. Wood, P. A. Wallace. Then of the C. M. E. were Bishops R. S. Williams, E. Cottrell, C. H. Phillips, R. A. Carter and N. C. Cleaves. That is a strong force, and if you note, I have said nothing about other great representatives who were present and who had their say, and who were in the ring. ing a word, walked out of the room. I have been informed that he now has on his fighting gloves, and is going to contend to the last for what he conceive to be his rights. It was a great big meeting and big things were accomplished if you will just take the time to find out. I will go on to other important events. When I wrote to you that other letter I was in Memphis, but I got away from there and made it down to Birmingham, where I found a representative of Tuggle Institute awaiting my arrival, and a car toted me down to see Prof. Glover, and then we were off to the school. Mrs. Tuggle met Now if you will coupe with all the bishops the hundreds of men who are anxious to be bishops and declare the Lord has called them to be, but they seem to be just a little ahead of the Lord but they are ready to serve, and will serve if they can just get the Lord to tell the voters that He has called them to be bishops, general officers and the like. But I am not going to meddle with God's business, and you will excuse me please. There were brains enough down here this week to float the city of New York, and I am here to tell you that them men made some real speeches. I heard them all, and I just shouted when some of them wer speaking. I heard some one in speaking of me say: "I think the fool is crazy and should be locked up." Go back sixty years ago; look at our condition then, and see where we are today, and I think you would just shout your fool brains out as I was about to do. But, honey, let me tell you we have some smart men in this country, some of them as smart as Woodrow Wilson. There were many men here from Texas. The Rev. D. E. J. Howard, of Texas, shook my lily black hand, and then came along Rev. G. B. Young, and Rev. S. D. Butler, and Rev. H. A. Carr, all have been stung by that buzzing bishop bee, and they have bad cases, and I will tell you the results if I am here. I have only mentioned a few of the men, for there are others who were not present, but they are buzzing just the same. Rev. S. J. Johnson, who is now mentioned for successor to Dr. B. F. Watson, whose health is not so good, but who will retire after the next general conference so as to live all the longer. Just so much work can a man do, and if he tries to go over that, nature will demand its toll, and you must settle up whether you want to or not. I found some of them bishops as angry as a wet hen, and they had made up their minds that it was time to do something. Ira T. Bryant had been written and had said something that would have been unsaid for all concerned in this saying they felt that Secretary Bryant had reflected on all the bishops of the race, and I was surprised when I heard Bishop Snitch read a document which was an apology for what the secretary-treasurer had said. He made this to the other bishops. Now then you want to know what happened. Well them bishops just called Secretary-Treasurer Bryant before them and I am told that after putting to him a direct question concerning the article, demanded him to resign, and Mr. Bryant, without say- 1 ing a word, walked out of the room. I have been informed that he now has on his fighting gloves, and is going to contend to the last for what he conceives to be his rights. It was a great big meeting and big things were accomplished if you will just take the time to find out. I will go on to other important events. When I wrote to you that other letter I was in Memphis, but I got away from there and made it down to Birmingham, where I found a representative of Tuggle Institute awaiting my arrival, and a car toted me down to see Prof. Glover, and then we were off to the school. Mrs. Tuggle met me with that broad smile, and declared that she was glad to see me. I felt good, for Mrs. Tuggle is one of the greatest women in this country, and a leader among women. She has dedicated her life to the unfortunate boys and girls—those that no one wants to bother with them. She takes them and moulds them over again. She is a wonderful character, and I was delighted to be in her home and see the good things she is doing here in town. After sending into my eternity some fine chicken, well cooked, I went over and met the student body-a fine set of young people. I wish you could METROPOLITAN COMMUNITY CENTER OF THE PEOPLE'S CHURCH 3118-20-22 Giles Avenue Chicago, Illinois REV. W. D. COOK, D. D., Minister and Director Telephone Drexel 0596 The members and friends of the Metropolitan Community Center and The People's Church have had great cause for rejoicing, for early in December they moved into their Community House at 3118-20-22 Giles avenue. The Community House contains thirty-two rooms, well adapted for THE MUSEUM all the activities planned by the Center. The large triple entrance is imposing; the north and south entrances lead to flats of eight rooms each. The offices of the Center and the living quarters of the caretaker are located in the north flat. The central entrance leads to the Community House proper. The assembly room with a capacity of eight hundred and fifty, and a large, fully equipped kitchen are on the second floor. The third floor has a lodge hall containing a pipe organ, the ladies' parlor, the music studio, the board of directors' room, the directors' private office, and several small committee rooms. On the fourth floor is another small assembly hall and eight more committee and club rooms. The Sunday morning religious services, at 10:30, and the Sunday evening program, at 7:30, will continue to be held at the Wendell Phillips High School. The Wednesday evening class service and class meeting and all community activities will be held at the Community Center. The building was purchased at a cost of $55,000. The first payment of $20,000 has been made. The Community House is now at the service of the people of Chicago. The chair of two hundred voices, under the direction of Prof. J. Wesley Jones, is one of the finest in the city. The last Sunday in each month this chair, augmented by soloists of national reputation, gives a musical program. The Sunday Evening Club presents every Sunday evening programs of the highest type, speakers of all races, present subjects of local, racial and national interest. The orchestra is a pleasing feature of the services. The charitable work done by the Center during the first year of its existence is worthy of mention: Baskets of food to families.....727 Buckets of soup to families.....425 Packages of fruit to sick.....607 Flowers given to sick.....206 Clothes for children.....648 Children's shoes.....300 Women's clothing.....480 Men's clothing.....160 Numerous small amounts to needy poor. The Community House is for the service of the people of Chicago. just drop down and look at them, and see what this unselfish woman is doing for her people, and you will agree at once with me that she is one of the greatest women of the age. Modest, intelligent, and just a leader of women, and she is also a leader in thought. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. My next one will be from Florida. Look out for it, for it is coming. I am going to spend just a little time with Bishop John Hurst and others. John H. Murphy is down here. CHARLES E. STUMP.

ILLINOIS TRUST & SAVINGS BANK La Salle and Jackson Streets Chicago "FINDING A WAY OUT" An autobiography by Robert Russia Moton, published by Doubleday, Page and Company. Price, $2.50; postage ten cents extra. The writing of autobiographies by principals of colored schools has become a habit. It was started by Booker T. Washington in "Up From Slavery," and so brilliant a biography as that with its world wide appeal made it difficult for Edwards, Holzclaw and others to follow after him. Dr. Moton's biography suffers in the same way, especially as he trod in Washington's footsteps. Moreover, his life lacks incident. The most dramatic part of his autobiography is before the hero is born. The tale of his forebear, his great-great-great-grandfather, a chief caught and carried away in a slave ship, the wonderful physical power of other of his grandparents, his paternal grandmother living to be 108, the dramatic story of his father's fight with an overseer these make a vivid beginning to the autobiography. Those of us who remember Major Moton in his uniform at Hampton wonder why he lacked so in personal vanity as not to have his photograph as a frontpiece, so much does he look like the descendant of a chieftain. But the book is with out illustration and Robert Russa enters upon the stage with little incident A boyhood at the "great house," school teaching, a short dabble in politics, then Hampton and Tuskegee A pleasant story, well told with that most blessed gift reserved for man humor. There is one delightful anecdote that I cannot refrain from repeating. Before graduating from Hampton, Moton turned his hand to school teaching and was appointed principal of a Virginia school with 150 pupils. Associated with him was an older man named Hembricks, who believed in corporal punishment for all offenses. He and Moton had many heated arguments, Moton demanding that matters of discipline be left to him, and Hembricks declaring that he would take the matter to the school board. Fearing this move, Moton talked the whole thing over with his landlady's husband, a man who could neither read nor write but who had much native common sense. Instead of making an issue of the matter he had a grand party, got all the people pleasantly happy on persimmon wine (or was there something more in it?), had Moton make a fine political speech, saw that Hembricks made a less favorable one, talked of the colored people settling their own disputes, and ended by having Hembricks apologize to Moton the next day and cease his corporal punishment.

ILLINOIS TRUST & SAV La Salle and Jackson Street 3 two school teachers, wise in the precision that two and two make and always will make four, had lost something of that native wisdom of dealing with men that belonged to the unlettered husband of Moton's landlandy. It is as a leader of a group of colored people and as an honored advisor of many of the philanthropists of the white race that Dr. Moton occupies an important place. And the last chapter of his book, "Forward Movement in the South, shows us "The Way Out" that he believes is most possible and sane. Here he describes the work of the The Conference for Education in the South, The General Education Board, The Southern Sociological Congress, The University Race Commission and the most recent Interracial Committees. By bringing together the best people of both races Dr. Moton feels the race problem will become less acute. He has no royal panacea to peace and prosperity but the encouragement of co-operation among the elect is his present advice to Negroes in the South. There is a phenomenon known to sociologists as the "Illusion of the Near," that is, that when a thing is very close to us it looms much larger than it is. I think the facts of history, and of the history that we are making, show that the philanthropies that come from this getting together of kindly minded people affect the whole mass of the Negroes very little, that private education, no matter how admissible, will never take the place of compulsory public education, and that the dwelling too much on gifts makes the receiving of rights all the more precarious. But Hampton's training on the race question, and Mr. Moton is Hampton's son, lacks in accuracy what it makes up in optimism, and the pleasant optimism of "Finding a Way Out" will win the approval of nearly all its white readers and many of its colored. There are some American Negroes who have counted for more black than they ever would have, had they been white. This is emphatically true of Booker Washington, whose ideals were essentially the ideals of the aggressive, Rooseveltian type of white man, and who had therefore great chance for fame in representing these qualities in the Negro race. One questions whether this is true with Dr. Moton. One feels, in reading his life, as though the high spirit of adventure, the robustness of spirit inherited from his chieftain forebear had been repressed. As though the white race, with its cruel and crass conceit, had taken something from him that would have been his had he been born in America with a white skin, or had been left to develop his ability in his native land.

Mae; people are unaware of the fact that the word herb does not have its "h" sounded. "H" is silent also when it comes after the letter "r" as in rheumatism. Few Gas Blowers Now. A great many glass articles and particularly the finer grade commodities are blowed by hand.

The lung power of the blower is being replaced more and more by compressed air in the glass-blowing machine. Light Affects Wood. There is a figure which may be brought out prominently in certain kinds of woods, mostly those of tropical origin, says the American Forestry Magazine. This is variously known as roe, ribbon grain, feather grain, etc, and appears as narrow to broad longitudinal stripes, alternating light and dark. This is due, not to actual differences in color, but to the way in which the light is reflected by the different layers. Mercerized Goods.
