Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, has been chosen to receive the Spingarn Medal on Tuesday, June 20, at the Newark Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The committee on the award issued the following statement: "The award was made to Mrs. Mary B.

A. A. C. P. Leading U. S. Senators have expressed their horror and amazement at the list of lynchings and burnings at stake during the month of May compiled and sent to them by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue. New York. In reply to a letter from James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., leaders in the Senate have forcibly expressed themselves as follows: Senator Frank B. Willis of Ohio: "I am amazed and shocked at the list of lynchings you have sent me. It is unfortunate that in this country dedicated to law and order, there should be eleven lynchings within the space of twenty-two days. This is an average of one every two days. Such a condition is most threatening and dangerous and should be condemned by all good citizens." Senator Charles Curtis of Kansas: "I have your letter of June 1, and thank you for sending me the statement in regard to the lynchings which occurred during the month of May. I do hope something can be done to stop the outrages. I have talked with members of the Committee in regard to the Anti-Lynching Bill but the Committee does not seem to have reached a conclusion upon it. I will talk again with members of the Committee." Senator Harry S. New of Indiana: "I beg leave to acknowledge receipt of your letter of June 1, calling my attention to the reported lynchings in the United States during the month of May. I think the record is_one that can not help but appeal to any man to whose attention it is called. Certainly the United States must be brought to a realization of its enormity, and some statute should be adopted that will serve to stop these horrors. I shall vote for the Dyer Bill myself if the chance is ever offered me, and shall earnestly hope that its constitutionality may be established when passed." Senator Selden P. Spencer of Missouri: "I thank you very much for your letter of June 1st with the information concerning lynching during the month of May. It is simply appalling." Now is the time for the senators to vote for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—Editor. EXPOSITION IN 1926 INDORSED BY HOUSE Washington—Resolutions approving the holding of an international expo- ternational Council of Women held in Norway. "The award was made specifically for the above reasons. However, the Committee could not fail to take into consideration also the fact that Mrs. Talbert was twice President of the National Association of Colored Women and that all her life she has been identified with uplift work, religious and civic, and has been a leader of the women of her race." The Committee making the award consisted of Bishop Hurst, Dr. Dillard and Mr. Hope. Rabbi Solomon Foster of Newark has been invited and has accepted the invitation to present the medal to Mrs. Talbert at the Newark Conference. COLORED PEOPLE PROTEST SEGREGATION AT LINCOLN MEMORIAL DEDICATION Ask Dismissal of Col. Sherrill, Washington Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds. Warn Republican Party. Colored people of Washington, D.C. incensed at segregation of colored guests at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington on May 30, are asking the dismissal of Col. Clarence C. Sherrill, Superintendent of Capital Grounds and Buildings, at whose door the segregation order is laid, according to announcement made by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. Action has been taken by the District of Columbia Branch of the Advancement Association which has forwarded resolutions demanding Col. Sherrill's dismissal to President Harding, Chief Justice Taft, who is president of the Lincoln Memorial Commission, and the Secretary of War. The resolutions state that the segregation complained of is the second incident of its kind in less than two months, the first being the placing of segregation placards in Rock Creek Park. The resolutions contain a warning to the Republican party: "It would be a rude awakening and a painful disillusionment to us to realize that the party was approving and following a practice which was an incident of the institution of chattel slavery. Such a realization, in the case of a self-respecting people, could result only in severing of ties which until now have bound us to that party." THE WABASH AVENUE DEPARTMENT OF THE Y. M. C. A.

Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute, Speaks for Moral Inflexibility. Hampton, Va.—That humanity constantly requires a few unfinishing Puritans who will not equivocate, even to themselves, was the opinion expressed recently by Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in his baccalaureate sermon on "Double-mindedness." He cited the cases of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, William Lloyd Garrison, Abraham Lincoln, John Bright in England, and Theodore Roosevelt, who exemplified the quality of moral inflexibility. * "Men and women," said Doctor Gregg, "too often sanction with their heads what their hearts disapprove. They say: 'I don't like to do this bit of dirty business, but it seems to be necessary.' 'Business is business.' 'When you are in Rome, you must do as the Romans do.' I didn't wish to seem self-righteous.' 'I was only following instructions.' 'Well, a man has to live.' 'Plenty of people higher up are doing worse things.'" Doctor Gregg stated that these are some of the stock excuses which one hears in defense of a good man's participation in wrong-doing. BOOK CHAT BYMARY WHITE OVINGTON, CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COLORED PEOPLE "NEGRO POEMS, MELODIES PLANTATION PIECES, CAMP MEETING SONGS, ETC." By Will'am C. Blades. Published by Richard G. Badgar, Boston, Mass. Price $1.60 Postpaid Last week I reviewed Talley's book on Negro Folk Rhymes, and this book of Blade's follows naturally after. It follows, however, a long way after. While Mr. Talley's book is a careful study of Negro Rhymes, Mr. Blade's is a hodge podge of verses, thrown together, without introduction and without sequence. We do not know where the verses come from, how old or how new they may be, whether they are all written by Negroes or not. Some of them sound like the conventional Negro minstrel doggerel, as: The darkie's weep and the darkies pray, Brush, oh brush, dem tears away, Bring in a chicken on a tray, Brush, oh brush, dem tears away. Chicken, possum, hoe cake, hot corn, rabbit, these are the themes of many songs. Georgia watermelon figures once as a slight diversion. "Rastus' Fate" sounds exactly like an "end man" story at a minstrel show: "The doctor cautioned rest and quiet, And put a ban on Rastus' diet, No more chicken, no more pie. 'Stop,' said Rastus with a sigh, 'No more chicken, no more pie?' Go away doctor, let me die." The religious songs tell of David and Daniel and call especially upon Elijah. Elijah is the patron saint of the Negro, doubtless because his charisot is to take him from this weary world into Heaven. The River Jor- "The bankruptcy of self-interest as a guiding principle for mankind becomes more and more evident with each international conference. Christ's way of fairness and friendliness; of sympathy, courtesy, honesty, courage, and good-will, is seen to be the one straight road to lasting peace, sound prosperity, real success, honorable happiness. This is true for all men, for all races, for all nations." "The mechanic must take care that his attention to details does not become fussiness; his skillful speed, hastiness. The school-teacher must continually watch herself lest her strictness become harshness. The soldier must be on his guard against both tyranny and slavishness. The lawyer must beware that his zeal for the interests of his client does not lead him into an advocacy of injustice. The physician must see to it that his loyalty to his profession does not cause him to cover up its occasional blunders and so to hinder the advance of humanity to sounder health and firmer happiness. The minister must make sure that his preoccupation with doing good and upholding the Church and the Church's faith does not blind him to the fundamental necessity of sincerity in every word and deed." Doctor Gregg made a plea for efficient Christians "in a world which solely needs Christianity that is efficient and efficiency that is Christian." 5 CENTS per copy two Terms for Women, ca at the warded the BYMARY WHITE CHAIRMAN OF THE DIRECTORS OF THE ASSOCIATION FOR ACEMENT OF COL- don once crossed and all is well. It is a great comfort to find that, unlike the sour Puritan, the Negro never seemed to doubt that he would enter through the pearly gates to Heaven. I'm gwine to Heaven, on the Judgement day— I'm gwine to Heaven, in the good old way, And come all the rivers, and come all the floods, Come all the fires and come all the floods; They can't stop the shouting in my soul When I get there that day. The love songs to Maudy and Chloe and Dinah are plentiful. Dinah gets an especially large share. I cannot say that they are worthy of being kept in memory. They tell of the smiling moon and the sweetly scented flowers and sound like white folks' poetry second-hand. Indeed, that is the impression that one gets of the whole collection. It is done on a white man's model, and the vigor of some of the very simple verse in Mr. Talley's collection is lacking. But it does give us pictures of the plantation, the old mule jogging along, the twittering birds, the white folks strutting proudly by, the black folks decked out for a party. One sees the broken-down wagon and the broken-down black man beside it. One hears the banjo and the fiddle and catches glimpses of kicking heels and elaborate bows. The steamboat comes up the river and the rostabouts are singing. Out of the medley of verse comes a picture of a plantation life, half tragic, half humorous, very sentimental. The sentimentality is the veneer that the white man has put upon it, and it does not improve the black man's songs. ALDERMAN JOHN H.

CALCIUM HYPOCHLORITE TAB LETS FOR TOURISTS With the increasing spread of knowledge concerning health matters, it would be difficult perhaps to find anyone today who is not familiar with the danger involved in using polluted drinking water. It is well known that water contaminated by sewage and waste from outhouses, pig pens, chicken houses, etc., is unfit for human use. And perhaps no class of people is more concerned with the importance of obtaining at all times a safe water supply than tourists and travelers, who are compelled to obtain their water supplies without knowledge as to their purity and safety. Following its custom of several years and for the benefit of Chicago's army of motor tourists and summer dwellers, the Health Department Laboratory has prepared in convenient form the calcium hypochlorite tablets for rendering suspected water safe and thus avoiding the danger of typhoid infection. These tablets contain 20 to 30 milligrams of chlorine per tablet; are put up in glass vials and if kept tightly stoppered in a cool, dark place will retain their potency for about four weeks. The tablets can be had upon application at Room 707, Window 1, City Hall. In using the tablets the following directions should be carefully observed: Dissolve one tablet by crushing between the fingers in one quart of water in an ordinary Mason jar, which should be sealed with an airtight cap. The jar is then shaken, contents allowed to settle, and should be stored in a cool, dark place. This is the stock solution and under average conditions will last about one week, after which it should be renewed. 1 1 HON. MILES J.

To prepare water for drinking: Take one teaspoonful of the clear stock solution, avoiding the sediment, to one eight-ounce glass of drinking water; allow it to stand for five minutes, when it is ready for drinking and will be safe. If it is suspected that the water is heavily polluted, two teaspoonful of the stock solution should be used to each eight-ounce glass of water. If it is desired to make up a daily supply, ready for use, it can be done by adding four teaspoons of the stock solution to each quart of water. DR. COOK OF THE METROPOLITAN CENTER By Dr. M. A. Majors Once in a great while you meet a real man in your travels. Defeat and disappointment mean the downfall of a great many men; not so with men of the sterling character of Dr. W. D. Cook. He seems to be dipped gold-washed in the maelstrom of Herculean endeavors, and the harder the When you go on a vacation, be careful as to the water supply, flies and mosquitoes, outhouses and refuse disposal. Fine scenery, good fishing and good table fare do not at all make up for dirty and unsanitary surroundings LAZY LANDLORDS A tormented housewife writes to the Department saying: "Can't you come to my rescue? Our landlord has raised the rent, but he will not furnish us with screens. We have babies that need protection against flies, so I am appealing to you to make the landlord comply with the law." The above is only a sample of the complaints received daily. The Department is serving notices on all delinquent landlords to provide screens and eventually suits will be brought and fines imposed; but it may be well along towards the close of the fly season before, under the usual methods of procedure, relief can be obtained. Before the child can know about things which affect its physical health and well being, the teacher must know. Babies are well worth having and well worth saving. So, every week should be a baby week. Save the babies. Rev. S. L.

One of the Most Eminent Law- wo Has a Whole Army of Loyally Delighted to Fall in Line for 1923. CHICAGO, ILL. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1922 COOK OF THE METRO POLITAN CENTER By Dr. M. A. Majors Once in a great while you meet a real man in your travels. Defeat and disappointment mean the downfall of a great many men; not so with men of the sterling character of Dr. W. D. Cook. He seems to be dipped gold-washed in the maelstrom of Herculean endeavors, and the harder the task the greater are his efforts in bringing big things to pass. What has made some men bishops Dr. Cook would hold with disdain. What has proved to be the visitation of vengeance by his enemies has forced Dr. Cook into position and power. Defeat in one way serves to be the spur of his valiant spirit to fill the place of a man worth while. At the moment of his darkest hour came the birth of his great ministerial triumph. He had the noble character to raise fifty thousand dollars while in his last church work in the A. M. E. church in Chicago. While in his last charge in that connection he was busily engaged in raising money to build for the denomination the finest church in the west. When the rift in the conference came, and a bishop broke a promise to gratify the hate of a would-be bishop he had in his possessions upwards of twenty-six thousand dollars which he handed over on his retirement from African Methodism. These are facts that still cling to the memory of a great many that would serve as a brand, and point a condemning finger at one' or two big ones who preceded Dr. Cook at Bethel church. The Metropolitan Center has a community of interests, a large community house, operating at full blast, reaching into all of the civic life of the race. For the past two years upwards of twenty-five hundred people have been assisted, clothed, fed and procured positions, while yet having their spiritual natures revived and their confidence and trust in humanity awakened. This is some of the great work to which the Rev. Dr. Cook has given his active heart, brain and spirit. Of course he could not have accomplished so much in the short time it has taken, but we must not lose sight of the fact that it is attributable to his leadership and his exquisite judgment to surround himself with the kind of able men and women who are alert to the great racial aggressiveness to do great things. The world can not have enough of such busy, unselfish Christian workers as Dr. Cook has shown himself to be. Against the combined efforts of a great deal of scullduggery, and malicious mischief on the part of some powerful agencies he has wrought great things because no man can do the work he has done unless God be with him.

ANDERSON, RENDERED A HIGHLY ENJOYABLE MUSICAL PROGRAM AT BEREAN BAPISTIST CHURCH, MONDAY EVENING Those who were fortunate enough to gain admittance to the over-crowded Auditorium of Berean Baptist Church, cor. of, 52nd and Dearborn sts, last Monday evening, June 12, to bear the wonderfully interesting program given by the Bethesda Baptist Church Choir, under the very successful directorship of the well-known singer and director, Madam Martha B. Anderson, were more than highly pleased. The rendition of Farmer's "Mass in B Flat" was most splendidly rendered, of which instantly gave evidence of their Directress' careful training. Also he beautiful "Serenade from Abt" was thoroughly enjoyed. Madam Anderson deserves great credit indeed for her successful efforts in arranging and producing this grand program. To the great delight of the Audience, Madam Anderson had fortunately secured to assist her, two of our well-known artists, namely: Messrs. T. T. Taylor and W. E. Gossette. Mr. Gossette opened the program with an Organ solo, "Prelude—Adagio-C-Minor," by Guilmant. Mr. Taylor the noted pianist, played a group of selections by Negro composers: (a) Mammy, Dett; (b) They would not lend me a child, S. C. Taylor; (c) Bamboula, S. C. Taylor. Both celebrated artists added, with their wonderfully pleasing talent, much to the interest of the program which was on a whole, a complete success, artistically and financially. Those who heard this splendidly arranged program had nothing but praise for their excellent work. I might add for the benefit of those who are not perfectly acquainted with Henry Farmer, composer of the "Mass in B-Flat" sung by the choir, died June 5th, 18th, at the age of 72 years, and the performance of his work at this season of the year is especially significant, commemorating both his birth and death. Henry Farmer was born in Nottingham, England, May 13th, 1819. In passing it may not be of place to note that Mr. Leon Smith, violinist and Mabelle Hill, accompanist, were both exceedingly clever in executing their several important parts, and all those participating on the program were heartily applauded and loudly praised for their artistic ability, at the end of each number—"C."

G. Pitts, 2355 East 9th street, Los Angeles, Cal., for I expect to be somewhere near that point when you read this letter, and from there I will make a trip to Chi- cago, reaching the windy city about July 1. Speaking of Chicago, I am informed that the people are just getting ready to put the big pot in the little one when the young people come there next August to the National Congress of the Allen Christian Endeavor League, of which Dr. S. S. Morris is the big secretary and chicf. The local committee is at work and every step says success. It will be the largest convention of young people ever held in the city of Chicago. They will be there in large numbers from all parts of the country. The summer schools will be out, and the teachers will wend their way to Chicago to be in this great school of methods looking to the elevation of the young people. Connected with this mecting there will be a business feature, a social feature, an educational feature and a religious feature, and if you are not there you will miss much, But let me now call your attention to the fact that I am in Texas, and at- tended the Grand Lodge of Knights ‘of Pythias in San Antonio, Texas, last week, and they were there as thick as fleas in the back of some dogs, and it was a business session from start to finish. 1 would first tell you about some of the visitors leaving outemy- seli. Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, of New Orleans accompanied by his wife. He was the chief visitor to the grand lodge and she was the queen of honor at the grand court of Calan- the, and both gave good instructions and advice to our people. Of course, you know Supreme Chan- cellor S. W. Green, for he is the man who stands for right, and I believe he would suspend his daddy from the or- der if he failed to comply with the law, and he.now has Missouri outside ooking in, but I have told you about that before. He has many friends. There was Supreme Attorney S. A. T. Watkins, and he was from way up yonder in Chicago, and was brave enough to come down here in Texas, and believe me when I tell you he s0ke right out in church. He did not come down with advice, “Make friends with the white folks,” but told his people to be friendly with all people, vehen it can be done in a manly way, and in all times stand erect. The time hhas passed he contended that the Negro should go with a down hung head and an aching heart. God has not wanted man to fear him, but love Him and such should be the case with all other men. They should not ex- pect more than God. “Obey the law, and do right, and fear no human be- ing.” Attorney Watkins is a southern man and he knows conditions. He is a good lawyer and is serving his peo- ple well in that capacity. If you want to see him get busy, just let the in- formation reach him that the white man is trying to legally rob his people of some of their rights, and you will find a real busy man.

Dr. Johnson is just the man for the place. Here I am writing this letter from the home of a prospective bish- op, Dr. S. D. Butler, the man who is just doing things. I shall say more jabout him later. 1 must here leave off talking about Knights of Pythias to talk about a book, “Unsung Heroes,” by Mrs. Elizabeth Ross Haynes, of Washing- ton, D. C., published by Du Bois and Dill, of New York. This book came from the press in 1921, but it has just been brought to my attention, and J wish that it could be placed in the hands of every boy and girl of this race of ours. It is indeed an inspira- tion, for it tells of the struggles of men and women of our race, who have accomplished something. Mrs. Hayes in her writing does not make any attempt to show how well she has mastered the big words in the language, but she tells the story in a style and manner that will interest the young mind and at the same time the older minds. She tells the story ‘of the life of Frederick Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Paul Lau- rence Dunbar, Harriet Tubman, Alex- lander S. Pushkin, Blanche K. Bruce, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, Benjamin Banneker, Phyllis Wheatley, Tous- saint L'Ouverture, Josiah Henson, Sou- journer Truth, Crispus Attuck, Alex- andre Dumas, Paul Cuffe, Alexander Crummell, John Mercer Langston. These will inspire any boy or girl who will take the time to read it. If you ‘once commence you will not stop un- til you shall have finished and then you will find yourself wishing for more. In the foreword the author uses this beautiful quotation: “Go on and up! Our souls and eyes Shall follow thy continuous rise; Our ears shail list thy story From bards who from thy root shall spring, And proudly tune their lyres to sing Of Ethiopia's glory.” We are now getting ready for the trip to the National Baptist conven- tion, and I hope to tell you about the National Baptist Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. Congress which will be in New Orleans while you read this letter, and I will leave from there for Los Angeles to see how they are go- ing to entertain us next fall. CHARLES E.

There is nothing more lovely be ing worn in all Paris at the present time, says a writer in the New York ‘Tribune, than this type of dress, a fad, ‘as it were, among chle women who wish to attract attention by their striking clothes. When wearing such & costume one looks like a brilliant: hued tropical flower or a bird of rare plumage. Recently at a fashionable restaurant in Paris a charming outfit of this kind was seen. A beautiful red-haired gir! wore a vivid empire green crepe de chine dress and Spanish shawi. The ‘shaw! was embroidered in enormous peonies in dahlia shades, covering » range from the beautiful dablta pinks down to a deep clematis biue. This, in contrast with the vivid green of the foundation, made Indeed a bril- lant spot of color. The woman wore a chain of silver beads, braided through her auburn tresses. Another restaurant gown in burnt orange crepe de chine had an ex- tremely low neck, sleeveless bodice and draped skirt. It was entirely without trimming and had a match- ing Spanish shawl, this embroidered in the most vivid colors with deep fringe having knotted ends. It is to Paul Poiret, the eccentric though admittedly talented Paris man dressmaker, that fashion owes some of her more remarkable turns. Just tow M. Poiret distinguishes himself dy emphasizing the Japanese note. At a recent ball given In comnection with the dressmaking trade of Paris 8 Polret mannequin wore an exquisite dress decidedly Japanese in effect, wilh her coiffeur a la Japanolse and her face made up to resemble a Jap- anese masque.

GRAY LUCAS Attorney-at-Law 204 East 36th Street Chicago Solitaire is a game played on a board invented with 33 or 37 hemisphered hollows, with the same number of balls' or marbles. An unoccupied hollow is left by removing one ball, and the balls, or pieces, are then captured as in checkers. No moves are allowed in diagonal directions or over more than one space at a time. The trick is to leave a solitary ball in the center hole. Get Author's Point of View. Much confusion in thought and much bitterness in criticism would be avoided if more readers tried to get the author's point of view. At any rate, proper and improper methods of reading deserve more consideration than they have received. For reading is an art that lends itself to efficiency tests and improvement.—Exchange.

Oakland 7174-J HELD SECRET OF HAPPINESS John Wesley's Nearly Ninety Years Passed With Remarkably Few Periods of Depression. There was John Wesley. His "Journal," with its record of indefatigable labor, is one of the cheeriest books in the language. What a rare good time he had! When he was eighty-seven he could say, "I do not remember to have felt lowness of spirits for a quarter of an hour since I was born." For more than sixty years this indefatigable pleasure-seeker had been doing as he pleased. Up every day in time to preach at five o'clock in the morning; then over the hills or through the pleasant lanes to preach again at the time lazy citizens were ready for breakfast; off again, on horseback, or by chase or in a lumbering stage coach, for more preaching. . . . Now and then facing a mob, or being wet through in a thunder storm, or stopping to get information in regard to some old ruin. Between sermons he refreshed his mind with all sorts and conditions of books. On the pleasant road to Chatham he reads Tasso's "Jerusalem Delivered." On the road to Aberdeen he loses himself delightedly in the misty sublimities of Ossian. "Orlando Furtosio" is good Saturday reading. The eager octogearian confesses that "Astolpho's shield and horn and voyage to the moon, the lance that unhorses everyone, the all-penetrating sword, and I know not how many impenetrable helmets and shields" are too much for his sober English imagination. Still, they afford an agreeable interlude in his missionary Journeys — Samuel McChord Crothers, in "Among Friends." YOUTH NOT GOLDEN SEASON Modern Writer Takes Issue With Others Who Have Dubbed It the Best Period of Life. Following is from "The Way of All Flesh," by Samuel Butler—not the Seventeenth century poet, but the Nineteenth century novelist; "To me it seems that youth is like spring, an overprised season—delightful if it happen to be a favored one, but in practice very rarely favored and more remarkable, as a general rule, for biting east winds than genial breezes. Autumn is the mellow season, and what we lose in flowers we more than gain in fruits. Fontelle, at the age of ninety, being asked what was the happiest time of his life, said he did not know that he had ever been much happier than he then was, but that perhaps his best years had been those when he was between fifty-five and seventy-five, and Dr. Johnson placed the pleasures of old age far higher than those of youth. True, in old age we live under the shadow of death, which, like a sword of Dancoles, may descend at any moment, but we have so long found life to be an affair of being rather frightened than hurt, that we have become like the people who live under Vesuvius, and chance it without much misgiving." Fireworks in History. The business of making fireworks and the business of setting off elaborate displays are sometimes called "the art of pyrotechny," the word "pyrotechny" being compounded of two Greek words meaning "fire art." There is an extensive literature on the subject. References may be found in the writings of Manilius and Vespluc to the fact that fireworks were set off in connection with the circus in ancient Rome, and Claudianus, who wrote in the Fourth century, mentions "whirling wheels and fountains of fire" in connection with the celebration of certain festivals. Fireworks, and which should not be confounded with mere bonfires, were set off as spectacles and ceremonies during the reign of Henry VII, Henry VIII, Elizabeth and other English monarchs. In those early English days dragons spouting fire were a popular form of fireworks. In a book written on the subject in 1648 there is a reference to "trees and fountains of fire sent high up into the air." Flower "Ad" Big an House. A basket of blossoms as big as an ordinary house was constructed to advertise a flower show held recently in London.

It was renamed "The Commercial Advertiser" on October 7, 1757 and was again changed to "The Globe and Commercial Advertiser" on February 1, 1904. This is the oldest daily newspaper still in existence in America. A weekly paper, the New Hampshire Gazette, was established in 1756 and is still published. The Hartford Courant was established as a weekly, the Connecticut Courant, in 1764, and is now a daily. 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 workings in the waves of the ideographs written. Tracing an ideograph involves such an effort of muscular directness and undidged 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. Seemed to Be Something Wrong. Seemed to Be Something Wrong. Kenneth's mother had been to the hospital and Kenneth was waiting impatiently for her return. The day of her homecoming he took a chair up to the window and watched every auto pass with his little nose flattened against the window pane. Suddenly an auto pulled up, his mother looked out and waved, and Kenneth dashed madly out to the steps to greet her. Mother was overjoyed at seeing him, she began to cry, and Kenneth looked at her and said: "Ooh, mother dear, ain't you all well yet?" Birds Guard Cur Trees. We can spray orchards and shade trees with polsonous insecticides, but we would stand aghs st at the impossible task of spraying all the treets in all the woods, says the American Forestry Magazine. We must perforce depend on the natural enemies of insects to protect our forests. Fortunately, birds and other foes of insects, wherever their numbers are sufficient, act as effective forest guardians. Mountain of Sulphur. By looking on a map of the South seas, one can find the New Hebrides, about 900 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, 1,600 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.
