BIRT, THE WARDPASTOR CHURCH, WHO PASTOR SINCE STATES IN THE GUAGE AT HIS AT NO TIME SIN 1920, HAS REV. NECTED WITH IN ANY MANN FORM. The first of this week the city police arrested a colored gentleman who claimed that he is a shouting A. M. E. preacher. He confessed that his name was Rev. Samuel Clark and that he was the pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, 30th and Dearborn Streets, which to start with is nothing but a bare-faced falsehood for Rev. S. L. Brit has been the pastor of Bethel church since the first part of September 1920, and he is one of the most upright, honest and straightforward preachers in the great A. M. E. church connection in this city or in any other section of the country; in fact, for honesty of purpose none of the best or most prominent preachers anywhere surpass him in going about and doing the work which his Lord and Master has called upon him to execute for the great benefit of his loved ones here on this earth. The so-called Rev. Samuel Clark, if all reports are true, is a very bad actor. The Stanton Avenue police claim that Rev. Clark has already confessed to doing a great deal of burglary, stealing all around on the south side and that he has sold many thousands of dollars' worth of his loot to colored women residing in all parts of this city. He claims he got away with $2,000 worth of plunder when he successfully raided Massa Ahmad's store at 3248 South State Street. When arrested he was sporting around in a high silk hat, black Prince Albert coat, striped trousers with razor edge. He was seized while sitting in his fine high powered automobile while in the act of delivering his ill-gotten gains to his many patrons according to the police. This bogus or false preacher is Carson, Nev., May 31.—Mary Pickford's divorce from Owen Moore was sustained today by the Nevada Supreme court. In a unanimous opinion and order, written by E. A. Ducker, junior associate justice, the court held that Attorney General Fowler had no authority to institute proceedings to have the divorce annulled. The decision was an affirmation of the order of District Judge Langman married and resides in an expensive home at 4400 Langley Ave. It is said that he is also an insurance adjuster. He has been held in bonds of $10,000 and his trial has been set for Wednesday, June 14. It seems that at one time if all reports are true, that this so-called man of God was at one time a member of the Golden Fleece Lodge of Odd Fellows and that when he was requested to sever his connection with the lodge that some of its money disappeared at the same time. Rev. S. L. Birt, who as stated before, has faithfully served as pastor of Bethel church for almost two years, has informed the writer that Rev. Clark, whom the police claim belongs to the undesirable element of this city, has not in that length of time been connected with Bethel church in any manner, shape or form, that he has not attend services there since he has been its pastor, that prior to September 1, 1920, he understood that he did frequent Bethel church quite often, that at the present he attends services or is connected some way or other with the Turner Memorial Chapel, 42nd and Evans Ave. The tried and old time true members of Bethel church and its thousands of friends have empowered Rev. Birt to secure the services of a first class lawyer and have Rev. Samuel Clark arrested for perjury and for enterting into a most damnable plot or cold-blooded scheme to bring reproach, shame and humiliation upon the honest, hard-working, God-fearing men and women belonging to old Bethel church and upon their honest, upright Christian pastor, Rev. S. L. Birt. quashing service of summons in an action brought by Fowler to set aside the divorce detree. Miss Pickford was granted a divorce from Moore at Minden. Fowler's action was based on the contention that Miss Pickford had not lived in Nevada the time required by law. When the District court held that the action had been regular, Powell appealed to the state Supreme court, charging that the divorce was obtained "through fraud and collection" on the part of Miss Pickford and that the Minden court had no jurisdiction.

Mr. Flower Can Rightly Be Classed As One of the True and Practical Friends of the Colored Race. ```markdown ``` The Roosevelt State Bank, 35th Street and Grand Boulevard, threw its doors open to the public one year ago or more correctly speaking on June 4, 1921, and that solid banking institution has met with remarkable success from that time to the present and for the next week it will fittingly celebrate its First Anniversary and its management warmly invites its thousands of depositors and others who transact business with the COLORED MAN HAS HAIR RAISING TIME IN ELUD- ING A MOB Macon, Ga.—Jim Denson, colored youth, whose appeal from a death sentence was carried without avail to the Supreme Court of the United States, and who early this week narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of a mob, is safe at the present time in Bibb county's "mob proof" jail. "I see sho' mighty proud to be here," was Jim's smiling comment, even though the sentence to be hanged June 16 for an alleged attack on an aged white woman three years ago still stares him in the face. Jim, however, had some reason to smile beyond his escape from the mob, because numerous white people in this and Wilkinson county, believing his escape was an act of Providence, were considering an appeal to Governor Hardwick for commutation to life imprisonment. Story of His Escape The colored man, after having safely settled himself in the jail here, told the story of his escape, which, in addition to the details of the mob's action in breaking into the jail at Irwinton early Tuesday, ran as follows: "They tied a rope around my neck. Then they dragged me into the automobile. I asked them to let me pray and they replied that they hadn't time. "I heard them say they would shoot me just out of town. The knot on the rope around my neck was choking me. I reached up one hand in the dark and felt the slip knot. I untied it. The automobile was goin' thirty miles an hour, and I says to myself, 'Jim jump or be kilt.' I SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 who Claim and Dearb aged in t o the Po MR.

Mr. Flower Can Rightly Be Claimed and Practical Friends of the Colored Roosevelt State Bank to come and assist in the most hearty or happy manner to celebrate the joyous event.

"When I got out of the ditch several shots were fired at me. I crawled, but they kept on firing. I got up again and ran. I was barefooted, my clothes were torn off me, and the gravel cut my feet." Hounds Are Too Numerous The colored man said he obtained bread from another colored man at sunup and then crawled into a swamp, where he spent the day and night. Growing hungry, he said he crawled out to get some wild plums and then he heard bloodhounds on his trail. "Pretty soon a white hound came upon me," the colored man continued. "I kept jumpin' from one side of the creek to the other. I couldn't shake him off. He got right up to my heels so I stopped, snapped my fingers at him, and, lawdy! he curled his tail and walked right up to me. I took off my belt and tied him to me." The colored man had the hound tied to him, was playing with a second hound, and was fighting off a third when the sheriff's posse reached him. Mrs. R. A. J.

MINISTERS' CONFERENCE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE, JUNE 19-23 Hampton, Va.—The Ministers Conference at Hampton Institute will hold its ninth annual meeting from June 19 to 23, according to an announcement made by the Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute, who is also the executive secretary of this conference, which was organized to afford an opportunity to ministers of all denominations to meet for a few days of study and discussion of the great common problems that they have in their work. It was attended last summer by 256 ministers of sixteen denominations. Among the lecturers will be Professor H. J.

HON. WILLIAM E. BORAH, UNITED STATES SENATOR FROM IDAHO, STATES: "IF THERE IS ANYTHING HE COULD DO TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A SINGLE NEGRO FROM A MOB, HE WOULD DO IT." The Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, H. R. 13, is saved. This was the statement of James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, who returned to New York from Washington on Friday, May 26, after spending a week fighting for the Dyer bill through the most critical stage of its existence. made clear to Republican leaders that a failure to act favorably on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill would have three disastrous results: 1. It would constitute a confession on the part of the Federal Government of inability to deal with America's shame and would leave the Negro hopeless of that protection against the mob owed him by the Government to which he gives his During that time an unfavorable report on the Dyer bill by the Judiciary Committee of the Senate was narrowly averted, and the Republican leaders of the Senate were convinced that favorable action was absolutely essential. During his week in the national capital the N. A. A. C. P. Secretary was in constant conference with Senators Borah, Lodge, Curtis, Capper, Calder, Ernst, Shortridge, Sterling, McCormick, Dillingham and Watson, and with Representatives Dyer, Burton and Madden. As a result of the Secretary's efforts, not only has an unfavorable report been averted but the Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday last, met and decided to postpone action for two weeks during which time efforts would be devoted to making the bill absolutely unassailable when it is brought upon the floor of the Senate. Senator Borah said to the Secretary before he left Washington that if there was anything he (Senator Borah) could do to save the life of a single Negro from a mob, he would do it. During Mr. Johnson's week in Washington he presented to the members of the Committee on the Judiciary and leading Republican Senators briefs upholding the constitutionality of the Dyer bill, prepared by Moorfield Storey and by James A. Cobb, Chairman of the Legal Committee, Washington Branch N. A. A. C. P. A third brief was sent to the Senate by William H. Lewis, formerly assistant U. S. Attorney General, who had been requested by Mr. Johnson to do so. A fourth brief was sent to the Senate by Butler R. Wilson, secretary of the Boston Branch N. A. A. C. P. In the course of the week at Washington, the N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Elementary Certificates, Primary Grade and Grammar Grade; three, those leading to Virginia Special Certificate, High School; four, those not included under one, two and three.

LIBERTY BONDS IN RECORD RISE TO PAR OR BETTER New York—For the first time since the date of issue, all Liberty bonds are being sold at par or better. Thus predictions of treasury officials, made early in the year, that 'all of Uncle Sam's war flotations soon would reach par or better, have been fulfilled. One of the first pledges of the Harding administration also is filled. Heavy Trading on Bonds There was heavy trading in Liberty bonds at highest prices on the market on June 1. Transactions embracing made clear to Republican leaders that a failure to act favorably on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill would have three disastrous results: 1. It would constitute a confession on the part of the Federal Government of inability to deal with America's shame and would leave the Negro hopeless of that protection against the mob owed him by the Government to which he gives his allegiance. 2. It would be interpreted as a license to mobs and might be followed by a reign of lynching terror too horrible to be described. 3. It would be a repudiation of the pledge made by the Republican party in its national platform that action would be taken on lynching, and would more than anything else discredit that party among colored voters. Mr. Johnson pointed out to the Republican leaders in Washington that the primary elections in several states had shown the strong sentiment for the Dyer bill, a sentiment it would not be safe to ignore. In Indiana, Senator Beveridge, who had indorsed the bill, had been elected senator over Senator New. In Pennsylvania, Gifford Pinchot had been elected over Mr. Alter who had opposed the Dyer bill. In conclusion Mr. Johnson issued the following statement: "Every colored man and woman in the United States ought to make it their primary business to see that the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, H. R. 13, is passed by the Senate. Six human beings, all of them Negroes, were burned at the stake in the United States during the fifteen days in the month of May, 1922. If that is not enough to stir colored Americans to united action, then nothing will or can. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People offers everyone an opportunity to work for the Dyer bill. Telegraph your Senator. Join the N. A. A. C. P.

Continued ease of money and investment buying by individuals and corporations in anticipation of June interest and dividend disbursements gave stimulus to the extensive purchases of the war flotations.

MAKING ONE'S SELF AGGREABLE The great curse of the race is the human misfit, the undesirable thoughtless individual who has no hope in life, no spirit to be somebody, doubly conceived, wise in the low by-ways of ugly living, crude always and never satisfied with anything, wishing always for what is forbidden, and cruel even to himself that he deserves no more. This is one of the ways we are forced to describe some of the ignorant low brows that think only of themselves, and are on bad terms with all of the world. The chief aim of life when all is said and done is making ourselves agreeable. Striving to be useful, and hitting into situations that make human noble and good. Acquiring knowledge leads to the self same end. Making one's self beautiful, cultivating a sweet disposition, being kind to others, making life pleasant for those who are dependent on you, teaching, leading, harmonizing, showing the way, setting good examples, lead in the pure life and living after the principles of right and truth, all make life sweet even if we are poor as to possession of this world's goods. If one is living for amusement's sake, and has no decent regard for the serious side of life, he is some kind of fool that inspires our sympathy, and makes us look upon him from our lofty heights with a contemptableness that must almost exhaust human pity. The praise of men is worth all it costs to be agreeable. To stand out as an example of all of those excellent qualities of heart and mind, rich in the splendor of truth and honor is attractive, and makes such characters among us respected and beloved by the multitude. To noble ends the purposeful individuals among us give the best that can exalt a nation. Poor indeed is he whose heart cannot respond to pleasant situations of noble living, and right acting, pure thinking. He may be as rich as Croesus, as learned as Caesar, and as powerful as was Napoleon when in the lofty authority as the ruler of the world, yet if there is no fertility of human spirit that can harmonize with the sober graces of the universe, he is a man without a country, a home, or any thing else worth while. THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTIAN LOVE By Dr. M. A. Majors The work of the Y. W. C. A. among us recently has been put before us on a better and larger scale leading the race to see better where it touches religious pulses throughout the world. Our young women need our heartiest interest in all of those heart touches that help to make for the world a greater humanity. In the line of progress we can not show indifference nor fail to take to each of our hearts the soulful pleadings that must eventually enhance our professions of growing better. A seriousness must seize upon every one of us who have the interests of the race at heart. Better accommodation, larger space, better equipment, vastly larger numbers to qualify because of added equipment. These features must appeal to the whole race, and the race must hearken unto their great needs. ```markdown ``` The age calls loudly, temporary housing will no more serve the rapid development and aggressive spirit. Today points with illuminating glamour to the great things we may even accomplish with our baby strength. Busy in the vanguard of other very pressing viscissitudes we cannot afford to leave in the background that which must come to us as the radiant litter of our lives to beauty and holy love. Noble womanhood spiced with all of the rich, and reverent virtues must forever be the charm of humanity. No race can rise higher than the level of its women. The noblest thought in the heart of man must be sweetened by the scented, and richly perfumed aroma of innocence and purity, and where else pray can the aspiring soul find sweeter refuge than at the shrine of our womanhood? Where may the dominant spirit of the world seek for nobler intimacy than at the shrine where woman worships? Giving in this case is merely rewarding. Rewarding in such a case is paying proper tribute to the most far-reaching endeavor that has brightened the hopes of mankind. The Young Women's Christian Association is the great lever of our racial redemption and he who will not help in such a noble work is cursed with an ugly un-manlike spirit. HE WAS A SOLDIER By Dr. M. A. Majors They looked at the wrinkles worm deep on his brow. That told of the worries he knew And about the cruelties of Fate some- how Of the sadness he'd suffered life through. There was limp in his step as he truded along He could sing for the heroes and never a wail Gosh he had traveled so far. They said he was eighty, or ninety years old, Gee, think of the years gone by He's had his share of silver and gold; With his lips told many a lie, But maybe we should forget what he said Unless we remember the best That tells of the good he had done And the rest forgive 'cause he's dead And gone to take his long, long rest From misery the battles he won. N. A. A. C. P. SECRETARY REC TIFIES TROTTER STATEM MENT ON DYER BILL James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, today issued the following statement: "It is to be regretted that organizations having common aims cannot work together without attempts on the part of one to belittle the work of another. "The N. A. A. C. P. regrets to have to call the attention of colored readers to the false implication in William Monroe Trotter's statement, sent out broadcast from Washington, to the effect that delay in favorable action on the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill was in any way attributable to the N. A. A. C. P. or its lawyers. It makes no difference that the imputation is put into the mouth of Senator Borah, who himself had requested these briefs and stressed their importance. "It is needless to point out that briefs by eminent lawyers on the constitutionality of the Dyer bill, which the N. A. A. C. P. obtained were and still are, essential to any favorable consideration whatever for the measure on the part of the Judiciary Committee and the Senate. The truth of this is demonstrated by the recent events in the progress of the bill. "JAMES WELDON IOHNSON." ALDERMAN R. R.

BOOK CHAT BY MARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE. "DIET AND RACE" By F. P. Armitage Published by Messrs. Longmans, Green & Co., New York. Price $2.25. Postage 10c extra. Mr. Armitage is the author of three books on chemistry and it is from this angle that he studies Diet.-Race. The major part of the book is given over to the subject, Diet and Color. The writer classifies the people of the earth by their color, White, Yellow, Red or Brown and Black, and then analyses their diet. He finds that flesh eating people, and especially those who eat raw flesh are generally light in color and he asks, if there is not something present in raw flesh that is not present in boiled meat, that is present in less degrees in vegetables, and is markedly wanting in farinaceous food. He finds the something salt. Salt, that is what makes blondes and its absence makes brunettes. Through a hundred convincing pages the author piles up statistics upon his theme. Salt is present in greater quantities in flesh than in vegetables, hence the flesh eating people are fairer than the vegetarians. But another element enters there. When salt (sodium chloride) and potash are present together in a food, as in the case with many vegetables, the potash takes up the chloride and the salt is then expelled from the body through the kidneys. So not only do vegetables have less salt than meat, but the body does not retain the little salt that they have. Boiled meats lose their salt through the cooking, so the Tahitians, who eat raw fish, are lighter than the Adananese who exact heavy penalties from those who roast, instead of boil their pigs. To live on farinaceous food, on roots and fruits, is to have dark eyes and a dark skin. But the chief argument lies in the relation between the distribution of skin pigmentation and the distribution of salt deposits. "The peoples of the world, in respect of their salt supply, are separable in two groups: Those inhabiting Europe, the West of Siberia, Afghanistan, Persia, Syria, and the North of Africa, and the rest; a separation which is almost identical, geographically, with that suggested ATTORNEY J. GRAY LUCAS REMOVED HIS LAW OFFICE FROM 31ST AND INDIANA AVENUE TO 204 E. 35TH STREET, NEAR INDIANA AVENUE Shortly after the middle of May Attorney J. Gray Lucas, who is one of the oldest and most prominent lawyers in this city and who has tried many important cases in all the courts in this city, county and state and all the branches of the Federal courts, removed his law offices from 31st and Indiana Avenue to 204 E. 35th Street, near Indiana Avenue, upstairs.

We give a few of Mr. Armitage's examples: The people of India range from the black of the Adananese to the polished ivory skin of the Kashmir and Kashmir is the richest salt-producing district of India. In Africa, in the extreme North, the people are of an exceptional fairness, and in the North, the country is exceptionally rich in salt. In the West, Centre and East, the people are among the darkest of mankind and there are no salt deposits. The desire for salt is acute, At Aecra, two slaves have been given for the price of a handful of salt. In the days of the greatness of West Africa, salt from the dessert was one of the chief commodities brought on the caravan routes. Salt and gold, these Mr. Armitage says, were the two most valued articles of commerce. The most of us have always thought that climate was the determining factor in pigmentation. The author does not deny this, but he maintains that the amount of pigmentation appearing on a skin exposed to the tropical sun varies according to the amount of salt taken into the body. He ends with this interesting suggestion: That as pigmentation appears to be due to a change of coloring matter caused by the prolonged action of heat and light; so salt, by speeding up the blood corpuscles, lessen the action of the light. The faster the blood corpuscles move, and salt makes them move fast, the less chance there is for the sun to do its darkening work. The author asks himself the question as to whether the dark-skinned man will grow lighter in time by the eating of much salt, for salt is now a commodity obtainable all over the world, and is unable to answer it. So, I presume, are we. But it is an entertaining question, and leads one to wonder whether the lightening of the skin of the American Negro is wholly the result of a mixture with the white race or whether some of it has come from bacon and spare-rib! And should not our vegetarian friends be sure to put much salt upon their potatoes, if they wish to keep the color they now are. Well, we n thought much of color anyway, now we learn that it is a mere pin of salt! BACK FROM TWO WEEKS VISIT Mrs. Eliza Jackson, state grand queen of Illinois of A. U.

STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, CONTINUES TO BE IN LOVE WITH THE PEOPLE RESIDING IN ALL PARTS OF THE SOUTH FOR LATELY HE HAS BEEN SPENDING ALL OF HIS TIME IN THAT SECTION OF THE COUNTRY. C. D. President of the Chicago National Life Insurance Company, Millionaire Real Estate Owner, Who Signed Bonds for Three Hundred Thousand Dollars for the Release of Messara. Murphy and Mader from the Cook County Jail House, Will Force Them to Sever Their High Official Connections with All the Labor Unions in Chicago. Augusta, Georgia—Hon. Emmett J. Scott, has resigned the position of secretary of the National Negro Business League, because he has so much to do in connection with his duties at Howard University, and I can testify that he is one more busy man there, and he is only one man with the position of many men on his shoulders, but he is a man of details and an easy thing for him to handle the thirty thirty people in his department. Hon. S. W. Green, Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, has spoken out for the good of the order, and this time the battle ax fell on the Grand Lodge of Missouri, and they are suspended until they obey the laws of the order, and then and not until then until the suspension be lifted. It seems strange to me how some men who claim to be educated men, think that they are so smart and so important that they can just run over law and order and yet not be touched. I recall in Topeka, Kansas, last year how these men representing the grand jurisdiction of Missouri defied the law of the order and when they immeditated that they were out of harmony without the password, they applied to a judge in Topeka who issued a password that admitted them on the inside and they just went right on disobeying the order, thinking that this one thing would last forever. Time passed on, and Grand Chancellor Lord with his big head continued to deny law and order and now he is on the outside looking in. I want to suggest to all Pythians, do not take Supreme Chancellor Smith W. Green a plaything. He belongs to the little men' in statue, but believe me that that he is a man of brains, and the Lord Nelson, he issued his edict, Pythians expects every man to do in duty." I feel like saying that prayer I learned at my mother's feet: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the to keep; if I should die I pray the Lord my I do not know just I land if I should die I am, so full of cuss, so full of the devil fear that I would land ims, and he would rejeice, hence a will just call on the lard and ask Him to forgive them as all Jesus Christ while here on earth. You want to know why all this, and I will read to you what was printed in the Savannah Morning News, May 27, and you will get ready to say some cuss words also: Waco, Tex., May 26—A twenty-three-year-old Negro was killed here late today by the father of a young woman victim of an attack Thursday night, when she identified the Negro as her assailant. Seven shots were fired into the Negro's body at the home of the girl's father. The Negro was apprehended on the public square this afternoon by E. L. McClure, a telegraph operator, who took him to the home of the girl. "When the Negro entered the room the girl screamed it as he who attacked her. The father then seized a pistol and began firing. "A crowd stormed the undertaking parlors where the body was taken, dragged the corpse behind a truck through the streets and burned it on the public square. "Afterward the body was tied to a truck and dragged through the Negro section, followed by the crowd. Many motor cars were dashing out and in of the Negro district a few minutes after the killing became known." Any man, set of men or combination of men, that would say that we are not civilized in America would have me to whip, for this is the highest civilized nation in the world. We are not the eaters of men and you belong in the insane asylum if you even think such an evil thing, but I do not understand why in the hen feathers we want to barbecue so much meat to be wasted? In these days of hard times, if you are going to cook up meat then you should be made to eat it. Every man who took part in the burning of a man already dead should be given a barbecued sandwich and forced to eat it. Now here we have it, one man shot to death another man, because he had a black face, and a young woman under excitement, sees a black face, claiming that she had been assaulted by a black man and without giving the man a chance to affirm or deny the charge is shot to death, and then his lifeless body dragged through the streets of Waco, witnessed by grown-ups and children, some babs in their mother's arms. If I were not a Christian, I would ask where in the hell will our country end? No such words shall ever pollute my lips, or even my pen, for I believe that it is only a question of time when America, law and order all mean the same. Until then trust God. I have been going some, yet I have just started. I have been suffering from another attack of them bugs, and this time they returned in a different attack, but I continue to fight. I have had a real fight, and the first time I have been attacked on land and from the air. It was in Virginia that I had to spend a night in the town, and went to a first-class hotel operated by our people. The price of a room for one night was one dollar fifty cents, and I dished way down, found the price, planked it down, and was shown my room. They had black lace curtains up to the windows, but I am of the opinion that if they could see soap and water they would become so frightened that they would turn white. I will not attempt to describe the battlefield: (the bed), for it perhaps would be considered "No Man's Land." But this is where the bloody conflict took place. connet took place. HON.

I could not understand this, but I just held my peace and waited to see what was going on, and soon I heard the horses going at break neck speed, and before I realized it there was an army of bed bugs right on me. A whole army, and I wish you could have seen me get in line of protection. That night I slew 9,847. The flag of truce went up armistice was signed and I thought it all over until about 5 o'clock in the morning there came an air raid. I don't know what make of airplanes were used, but believe me they did come, all sizes and grades (flies) were charging on me and I protected myself as best I could and I am proud to say that I have made my escape. I made my way down to North Carolina, saw them graduate young people at Kittrell, and made it from there to Allen University, Columbia, S. C., and then on to this place, where I am spending Sunday, May 28, the day I came into this world a few years ago. It is an inspiration to any man to come to this place, to see the busy people here. I just got with one of the busiest men in Augusta, yet he found time to tote me around over the town in his automobile carriage, and show me the fine homes owned by my people. I highly appreciate the kindness of Dr. G. M. Stoney, the Master of Exchequer of the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias of Georgia, a leader among men—a man who is devoting his life to the uplift of his people. He is a man who is ever ready and willing to serve. In this connection I want to pay my respects to Mrs. Stoney, the wife of her husband and a woman who is a factor in racial development in this country. She was for some time one of the teachers and now she is busy at home, and working with the women trying to help in racial uplift CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 A. B. HON. JAMES G.

Look for my next letter. CHARLES E. STUMP NEED A TONIC? A great many people still have the idea that when spring comes they are in need of a tonic of some kind. And as a result they usually hie themselves to the drug store and buy the kind that is put up in bottles, widely advertised, and which is guaranteed to cure that "tired feeling" and make you good as new. It certainly should be gratifying to know that the best medicines for building up bodily health and vigor are provided by nature and are available to most of us without cost or trouble. The great big factors in maintaining good health are good food, fresh air, sunshine and exercise. And these are not for sale at the corner drug store. The reasons that most of us are not feeling just up to "G" when spring comes are due to the fact that we have been deprived of the outdoor life, the fresh air and the sunshine that we always get without stint during the open season months. So that when spring comes what we need most is to get out into the fresh air and sunlight; to get rid of our heavy clothes and let the air and sunlight come in contact with our skin; to change from the heavy, winter diet of meats, pastries and gravies to fresh vegetables and early fruits that are obtainable at this season of the year. Children instinctively have the right idea about these things. Every parent knows how impossible it is to keep children in the house when the first warm days come; they simply must be outdoors and they will be outdoors. And, if only we grownups were as anxious and eager to get out into the open and work, work or play in the big outdoors, we would have small need for the kind of tonics that are so widely advertised at $1.00 a bottle or six bottles for $5.00. MISS BAXTER TO COME HOME At the close of the school at Colp, Ill., where she has taught during the entire term, Miss Alice Baxter will come to the city and pursue a special course of study during the summer. THE BRACELETS OF FLOWERS Floral Designs Made of Satin for Corsage Bouquets or to Adorn the Wrist. Among the apparently fanciful accessories are the floral designs made of satin to wear for corsage bouquets or bracelets for the wrist that have hidden under these lovely innocent flowers a tiny purse to hold one's handkerchiefs. Handkerchiefs are a nuisance when one has neither pockets nor handbag, so an ingenious idea has been launched in these floral bracelets and bouquets. Other charming things that are done with flowers are wearing bunches of tiny silk rosebuds at either ear in true Japanese style, wreaths of buds twinning the wrists and to trim one's sash. Triple hearts of jade joined with pearls, swirling from the ears of the smartly-garbed woman, and she carries an umbrella in storms which sports a pendant heart of jade to match her earrings. --- SUCCESS DESERVES CONTINUED SUCCESS IN CELEBRATION OF OUR FIRST ANNIVERSARY STARTING During the Year We Have Served the Public We Have Acquired the Reputation of Being the Fastest Growing Bank on the South Side Since the day of our opening June 4th, 1921, it has been our good fortune to serve close to 10,000 people, whose deposits have totaled over a Half Million Dollars.

May Be Had in Wide Range of Colors, Plaid or Stripe; Popularity Assured. Colored dimity dresses make their bow in the girl's dress sections of many stores. These frocks are much softer looking than organdale, and they are to be bad in the same wide range of colors. In addition, they have the charm of a plaid or a stripe, formed by the heavier threads which cross them. One dainty dress was made of pillbox dimity. The short puff sleeves were trimmed with square appliques of white dimity stitched with black wool. The full skirt was decorated in the same way. A bit of the white fabric stitched in black finished the neck, while a black ribbon sash de- fined the rather high waistline. At one store a pretty yellow dimity was seen. This was a simple dress, easily slipped on and easily adjusted. It was cut in one piece, on chemise lines. Through a casing at the lowered waistline a jade-green ribbon was drawn, the ends brought out at either side and tied in a drooping bow. The effect of the green ribbon through the yellow transparency was very picturesque. The neck was bound with green ribbon, as were the short sleeves. A specialty shop showed a child's dress of flesh-colored dimity, with tiny old-fashioned flowers printed in each of the boxes. The round neck was softened by a one-inch frill of cream point d'esprit, plotted with deft blue. A narrow blue grosgrain ribbon was drawn through a slit high at the front of the frock, from that point down to other slits placed low at the sides, then around to the back in a small bow which hung lower yet. The slits were buttonholed in blue. White dimity dresses are being offered for girls of all ages. They are appropriate for graduation and party frocks, as well as for general summer wear. Dimities are expected to be very active as soon as the weather is warm. It is said their popularity will be greatest among children of from two to six years, rather than older girls. Trial by Ordeal. Trial by ordeal still exists in some parts of Japan. If a theft takes place in a household, all the servants are required to write a certain word with the same brush. The conscience is supposed to betray its working in the waves of the ideographs written. Tracing an ideograph involves such an effort of muscular directness and undivided attention that this device often leads to the discovery of the guilty party. The test is, at all events, more humane than the ordeal of boiling water, to which accused persons were formerly submitted in Japan. Molasses on the Water During a hurricane in the West Indies the tank steamship Philip Publicer, carrying molasses in bulk, pumped overboard 280,000 gallons of the liquid to smooth off the seas and break their force. The action of the molasses on the water seemed to have the same effect as oil—Shipper News. For Violin Backs. When any figure appears on a smooth surface as though in relief, it is called mottle, says the American Forestry Magazine. The fiddle-back mottle appears a series of hills and valleys and derives its name from the common use of maple with such figure in making the backs of violins. True Savings. "The love that causes two hearts to beat as one does not guarantee a continuous performance," wrote the late Edgar Saltus. He also made this true observation: "Life is packed with delights—which the majority of us never enjoy. The world is full of charming people—whom few of us ever meet." Faye Gilbert Fashion and Lifestyle The box coat of the season is distinguished by the flaring or bell sleeves. This attractive suit is made of midnight blue twill and is trimmed with diamonds of mauve ribbon attached with steel heads. A hat of imported milan completes the costume. THE SMART SCARF AND TAM Outfit That Goes Well With Sport Wear Can Be Made in Next to No Time. ▲ smart, colored scarf never comes amiss, and one made of a fifty to sixty-inch wide wool fabric can be made in next to no time, and goes well with sport wear. Choose some loosely woven fabric of a bright tint, only half a yard will be needed if of the width mentioned. Cut the scarf about fifteen inches wide or use the full eighteen inches. Select some wool of the same color or some contrasting tint, and all around the edge of the scarf do a loose buttonhole with it, placing the stitches close enough together to give firmness to the edge. Then at each end of the scarf make a fringe of the wool, knotting it through the material. Use a large-eyed wool needle and draw four threads of wool at a time through the material. Eight threads or the double of four will be sufficient for one knotting of the wool. Then cut off these threads to a length of about four inches. And that is all there is to the scarf! A tam-o-shanter to match is smart and not hard to make just "out of one's head" without a pattern. Use for trimming at one side two tassels of the wool used on the scarf. Gray material with a bright wool trimming is a good combination, or gray wool to trim a bright material. Old Lady Not Worrying. An old lady of seventy, a member of a long-lived family, had been paying a visit to her mother, aged ninety-five. The aged daughter was rather tearful at the parting. "Good-by, dear mother!" she said, "I hope we shall meet again." "I hope so, my child," her mother briskly retorted. "They tell me you are not looking very well."

"The watchdog of the treasury" was a title first given to Judge William Steele Holman, a United States representative from Indiana. He was elected first in 1836, and with the exception of the Thirty-ninth, Forty-ninth, Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth and Fifty-fourth congresses, served continuously until his death, April 22, 1897, in Washington. He received the "watchdog" title because of his championship of economy and his opposition to new appropriations and measures which he considered extravagant. Saturday Note. "Funny, dear," said the stem mother, as her son came in from playing; "this is bath night, you know." "Then I think," answered the boy, "I'll go out and get a little dirtier." --- --- Keep Coming Mean Much to Nature Lover. The bird upon the tree utters the meaning of the wind—a voice of the grass and the wild flower, words of the green leaf; they speak through that slender tone. . . . Nor is it necessary that it should be a song; a few short notes in the sharp spring morning are sufficient to stir the heart.—Jeffries. Delly in the "Faucet." Dilly in the Palace Mildred had lived all her five eventful years in the city, and so on her first visit to the country everything was strange and-interacting to her, but nothing seemed to fascinate her as did drawing water from the open well. While watching one day her dolly slipped from her hand over the top of the curb into the water. As it went out of sight she ran screaming to her mother: "Oh, mamma, mamma; my dolly failed in the—in the faucet." Pimento Valuable Commercially. Pimento Valuable Commercially. When in the month of May, 1492, Christopher Columbus arrived off the shores of Jamaica he recorded the fragrance of the spices borne far out to sea by the land breeze. Then as now in the month of May the air is charged with the scent of the plimento tree's blossoms. Both the leaves of the tree and its small, round, dark-colored berries are also heavily scented; the leaves contain oil of engenol and the berries the "all spice" of commerce—forming the one truly indigenous wild product which always has been, and still is, of considerable importance. Really Serious. Horrors. Nothing that is admittedly and unmistakably horrible matters very much, because it frightens people into seeking a remedy; the serious horrors are those which seem entirely respectable and normal to respectable and normal men—Bernard Shaw. Treasure in Sacred Lakes It is known that for many centuries the Indians as a religious rite threw immense treasures into the sacred lake of Gustavita, Colombia. Profesor Sarfahee, an American, discloses that pure gold to the value of $800,000,000 to $800,000,000 had been thrown into many other lakes of Central and South America. Mephistopheles. The name Mophistopheles, is from the Greek, and it means "He who loves not light." The name was given to a Satanic personage of the Middle ages, who in the Faust legend is appointed to obey Faust's commands, according to the terms on which the latter has sold his soul to Satan. Valuable Petroleum It has been said that every possible necessity of a man's life, except the water he drinks and the air he breathes, may be supplied either directly or indirectly through the use of petroleum products, and even water may be pumped by a gasoline engine. Admonitory. Someone says: "In private watch your thoughts; in the family, watch your temper; in company, watch your tongue." That is mighty good advice, and we are not hurting it any when we add, "and in a crowd, watch your watch."—Boston Transcript. For Preference. A reader mentions the case of a detective, who, after twenty years, remembered the face of a forger, and arrested the man when the crime had almost been forgotten. One would rather have that sort of memory than that sort of face. Figures in wood. Figures in wood have various sources. These may be grouped in those due to structure, those caused by color variation or pigmentation, and to combination of the two, says the American Forestry Magazine. These again may be classified as normal and abnormal or pathologic. By normal is meant the natural condition of the wood of a sound tree. In the abnormal or pathologic are to be found the peculiar distortions and colorations resulting from disease, the attacks of insects and activities of various agencies not a part of the regular life processes of the trees. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, JUNE 3, 1922 MUNICIPALISTIC GOVERNMENT OF MADRID Mountain of Sulphur. Mountain of Splendor. By looking on a map of the South Seas, one can find the New Hebrides, about 800 miles east of Queensland, Australia, and southeast of the Solomons. At the north end of the group is an island called Vanua Lava. This island is a mountain, a big one, 1,900 feet high and covering an area of 100 square miles. But the remarkable thing about it is that it is composed wholly of sulphur. Nothing like it is to be found anywhere in the world. Hint to Precautious. Take a piece of heavy copper wire 11 inches long and bend it in the shape of a hairpin. Lock the door, leaving the key in the lock, then place the curved angle of the wire over the shank or spindle back of the knob and put the two ends of the wire through the head of the key. The key cannot be pushed out nor turned. This is a light device which one can carry in a handbag if so desired and use in hotel rooms when traveling. An Essay on Frogs. The Chicago board of education has caused a classic essay to be immortalized in type. It's about frogs and was written by a young Norwegian. The essay: "What a wonderful bird the frog are! When he stand he sit, almost. When he hop he fly, almost. He ain't got no sense, hardly. He ain't got no tall hardly, either. When he sit he sit on what he ain't got, almost." Mother Got the Letter. One time when I was going to grammar school I was in love with a boy—who was much older than I. One time he wrote me a letter 'n school, saying he loved me. Of course I chanced that letter; so I put it in my pocket. Next day was wash day. My mother found the letter and told my dad. Well, you know the rest—Chicago Journal. Destructive Volcanic Outburst Destructive Volcanic Outburst Rising to a height of 13,000 feet, only a few miles from Klaiaea, is the great volcano of Mauna Loa, which has intermittent eruptions, the last one of great violence beginning in October, 1919, and continuing for five months, the flow coming from a split in the mountain far down upon its flank. The black rolls of treacle lava flowed for miles through the sand flats, forests and bare rock slopes, finally emptying into the sea, where giant clouds of steam rose day and night. Myriads of sea fish were killed by the boiling water. Good "Grain" Results Artificial "graining" of wood has been practiced for a long time and some of the results obtained by the modern methods of printing from a master roll of real wood are remarkably realistic, says the American Forestry Magazine. Through this means it is possible to impart a good imitation of mahogany to plain, colorless woods and to metals. Rapal Hat Worn in 820.
