Hines made it plain that the veterans' bureau will not yield to anonymous threats seeking to make trouble for the Colored Veterans' Hoospital at Tuskegee, Ala. Gen. Hines declined to be quoted, but through a spokesman indicated he had instructed the executive officers of the hospital to state that the policy of the government toward its duty to the colored soldiers and the townpeople of Tuskegee had not changed. It was said that after addressing the Georgia state convention of the American Legion at Athens, Gen. Hines went to Tuskegee and suggested that a committee of three be appointed to come to Washington and thresh out the whole matter. The committee is expected here soon. Blame Klan Southern papers declared that agitation over converting the hospital into a white institution, with white patients and white staff, originated with certain members of the Ku Klux Klan and that warning letters had been written by the klan to leaders in the hospital movement at Tuskegee. Hines has received a letter from James A. Cobb of the Union for the Advancement of the Colored Races, urging him to stand by the decision to appoint a colored staff for the hospital and to fill it with colored soldiers and former soldiers. Cobb declared that of the 385,000 Negroes in the American army during the world war, many had been in urgent need of treatment. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 Explains Situation No white community wanted them, so colored citizens of Tuskegee gave a large tract of land. Hines was told he would regret it if he "forsook the colored people in the fight." The bureau holds that the difficulty is due to the impatience of "a certain element" which does not understand the situation. No trouble, racial or otherwise, it was added, would be tolerated. The federal board of hospitals accepted Hines' recommendation that a hospital of 250 beds be erected at Aspinwall, Pa. The plans for the structure have not been approved and bids are not yet in. Brig.-Gen. Sawyer heads the board. ASSOCIATED PRESS (WHITE) CORRECTS OWN NEWS STORY AT REQUEST OF N. A. A. C. P. The Associated Press, one of the greatest white news-distributing agencies in the world, has corrected a story it sent out on the release of six Arkansas farmers whose cases were fought to the Arkansas Supreme Court by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. In the original Associated Press story the Arkansas riots of 1919 were attributed to a Negro "insurrection" and it was charged that fighting had been begun by Negroes. In response to vigorous protest from the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Associated Press sent out the following story: "New York.-Herbert J. Seligman of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a statement issued, pointed out that recent newspaper dispatches from Little Rock, Ark.-telling of the release of six Negroes implicated in the Elaine rioting in 1919, incorrectly described the cause and nature of the trouble. "Denying the statement made in press dispatches that the riot started when persons concealed near a Negro meeting house at Hoop Spur, Ark., fired on a party of white men in a motor car, Mr. Seligman quoted Justice Holmes of the Supreme Court of the United States as describing the riot cause thus: "On the night of September 30, 1919, a number of colored men assembled in their church were attacked and fired upon by a body of white men, and in the disturbance that followed a white man was killed." "Justice Holmes' statement was made in the court's opinion handed down February 19, 1923, ordering the Federal District Court to reconsider the case. "Allegations contained in press dispatches that the Negroes had been persuaded by an agitator, posing as a government agent, to arm and drill in preparation for the day when they should take control of affairs in that section, also were denied by Mr. Seligman. He declared testimony of T. K. Jones and H. F. Smiddy before the Arkansas courts showed that the Negroes were not armed." PRESIDENT PASSES UP RACE APPOINTS WHITE SOUTHERNER Washington, D.C.—President Harding had time for another ill blow at the race just prior to his departure on his junket trip to the cool breezes of Alaska. The President refused to appoint Attorney Thomas L. Jones, colored, on the District Rent Commission, and appointed a white Southerner instead. THE HOLT-RAY WEDDING One Thousand Invitations Have Been Sent Out to the Cream of the Four Hundred to Attend It and the Reception on Sunday, July 29th Mrs. Lena Douglas James Holt, the dashing widow of the late George W. Holt, will on Sunday, July 29th, be happily united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Luther Ray, the right-hand private car man of Col. Charles Schwab, the head and front of the great Bethlehem Steel Corporation of Bethlehem, Pa. presents and that Mr. Charles Schwab will present them with the best of all of their valuable presents. Mr. Ray will present his new bride with ten thousand dollars' worth of stock in the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The wedding gown for the third-time bride was made in Parts, France, The wedding and reception will be held at the present pleasant home of Mrs. Holt, 4405 Prairie avenue, and one thousand invitations have been sent out to the elite or to the cream of the four head leaders of the high society among the Afro-Americans in this city and distinguished guests from all parts of this country will be present at the wedding. It is almost useless to state that we have been favored with an invitation to be present at that long-to-be-remembered wedding and reception. Mr. Ray will be the third husband for Mrs. Holt, and it seems natural for her to play the part of the timid and blushing bride. Shortly after the wedding Mr. and Mrs Ray will start on a two months' honeymoon tour of Europe—Paris, France, being their objective point. October 1 they will be at home to their hosts of friends at 1102 Linden Street, Bethlehem, Pa., where Mr. Ray owns an elegant home which is richly furnished from top to bottom and there is no room in it for any of the present household belongings of his new bride; outside of her fine and expensive satin and silk wearing apparel and her costly strings of beautiful pearls, diamond ropes, diamond dog collars and diamond necklaces. It is expected that the new bride and groom will receive two or three wagon loads of rare and beautiful MOB AND LYNCH LAW IS STILL IN THE SADDLE IN THE UNITED STATES Dear Sir: I send you the following information concerning lynchings for the first six months of this year. I find, according to the records compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research, Monroe N. Work in charge, that in the first six months of 1923 there were 15 lynchings. This is 15 less than the number 30 for the first six months of 1922 and 21 less than the number 36 for the first six months of 1921. Of those lynched, two were whites and thirteen were Negroes. One of the latter was a woman. One of those put to death was charged with the crime of rape. The other offenses charged were: Murder, 2; killing officer of the law, 2; wounding officer of presents and that Mr. Charles Schwab will present them with the best of all of their valuable presents. Mr. Ray will present his new bride with ten thousand dollars' worth of stock in the Bethlehem Steel Corporation. The wedding gown for the third-time bride was made in Parts, France, and it was ordered through Marshall Field & Co., and it is something wonderful to behold, it is so brilliant with all kinds of glittering stones and rare French beads, that it dims the sight of anyone to gaze upon it. It is said that it cost more than two thousand dollars. Aside from her elegant wedding costume, Mrs. Holt has ordered at least one dozen other reception, street and party dresses, long flowing capes and much other expensive French finery. Mrs. Holt, as stated before, will be ablaze with diamonds when she is united in marriage to her third husband, and she will wear the latest long variegated ear drops, each one containing four big brilliant real diamonds which are worth thousands and thousands of dollars. No wedding has been held among the cream of the Afro-Americans in this city within the past fifty years which will compare or hold a candle to the Holt-Ray wedding. She will be given away in marriage by her aged father, Rev. Calvin N. Douglas. Many ladies have no love for Mrs. Holt because she is able to roll in so much wealth and they are doing a whole lot of chattering about her, but, regardless of their likes or their dislikes, they are all breaking their necks in an effort to secure invitations so that they can be present at the wedding just the same. the law, 2; no charge reported, 2; assisting man charged with rape to escape, 1; trying to pass for white, 1; resisting posse searching for man charged with rape, 1; participating in depredations connected with railroad strike, 1; cattle stealing, 1; trying to act like white man and not knowing his place, 1.

KERLIN VINDICATED Washington, D. C.-Prof. Robert T. Kerlin, who wrote a letter of protest to the Governor of Arkansas, concerning the unfairness of the trial of the Elaine men just released, has been vindicated, in his opinion. Because of his letter, Prof. Kerlin was summarily dismissed as professor of English at the Virginia Military Institute, Lexington, Va.

Under Act of March 8, 1879. THE DOCTORLESS NEGRO Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work, himself a physician and former president of the American Medical Association, calls attention to the alarming lack of facilities for the training of Negro doctors, dentists and nurses. There is a white physician to every 553 white persons in the United States, but only one colored doctor to every 3,194 Negroes. As to dentists, the ratios are even worse: white, 1 to 2,070; Negro, 1 to 20,500. There are but two Negro medical schools in the country—that of Howard University at Washington, which also has departments of dentistry and pharmacy, and the Meharry Medical College. Nashville. Both have improved rapidly and are ranked as "Class A" institutions; but, for quantity production, they are painfully inadequate. Twice as many candidates as are admitted apply annually. The Freedmen's Hospital maintains a training school for nurses, but is vastly over-taxed. This hospital and Howard University are supported by the Government under the Interior Department. There are many white medical schools open to the Negroes, but only about a dozen graduate from them each year. "Only Government action can meet the situation," says Dr. Work—Editorial: The Times Magazine, New York City, July 8, 1923. HON. ADELBERT H. ROBERTS WAS HIGHLY EXTOLLED AT THE MEETING IN HIS HONOR AT THE WENDELL PHILLIPS HIGH SCHOOL LAST SUNDAY EVENING.

Davis read letters of regret from them and other distinguished citizens who were unable to attend the testimonial to Mr. Roberts. Hon. George T. Kersey and Hon. S. B. Turner, both members of the Legislature of Illinois, as invited guests, occupied seats on the platform; but neither one of them took the least part whatever, in the testimonial to Mr. Roberts, and only one of the speakers, slightly referred to Mr. Turner. On the whole, it was a great testimonial, and it was enough to make anyone feel proud, to have so many pleasant things said about them, in connection with their career, here on this earth.

IN VIRGINIA ENTERTAIN IN WISCONSIN MALE HELP THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1923 CHARLES E. STUMP, THE REGULAR TRAVELING CORRESPONDENT FOR THE BROAD AX, HAS HARD TIME OF IT DOWN IN THE EASTERN PART OF THIS COUNTRY, BUT AT THIS WRITING HE IS ABLE TO START ON HIS LONG TRAMP BACK TOWARDS THE WEST AND SOUTHWEST. Washington, D. C—It strikes me that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People or something like that put itself in the catalogue of damphiles, when it rushed in print a few days ago asking the President of the United States to send soldiers down to Tuskegee Institute' to protect the lives of the physicians and President Robert R. Moton. I wonder what in the hell they were trying to do? I wonder what excuse they would make for such a course and then rushing into print with it? This is an age, and I feel like just cussing my fool brains out and then spending the rest of my life trying to get right with God, but I met Prof. Kelly Miller on the street, and he simply threw up both hands and said, "Let us pray." So I will just ask God to forgive me for what I have said and ask Him to help the National Association to get right with God, because I think it will not be able to explain, with all the brains they have, with all them big men connected with it. The man who can aboish hell and re-establish it on a mildew form; the man who can go down in the grave and bring up the Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln, and find some flaw in his birth, it is a mystery to me how it could make such a break. I have said before, and perhaps it will bear repeating, that this world is full of damphules. Some of them are educated and if you will believe me or take my word in the last about it. Now here we are contending for the hospital, which was established in the south for the benefit of Negroes, to be occupied by Negroes only, and then white folks wanting to gobble it up for white physicians, white doctors and the like. I am not ready to say anything about that just now, but get through with the association. This wise, or otherwise body, comes out in print, asking for the President, to send soldiers down there, where there had been no destruction of property of the United States, there had been no destruction of life of any one connected with the United States Government or state. I wonder if it were really a desire to help the school or to hurt it. You will remember that Dr. DuBois has never been in real love with Tuskegee and its affairs. He has never been in love with Dr. Washington, nor do I know how much love he has for Dr. Moton, and I care less, but there is something dead up the creek, and I am not just now looking for it. Now, you see, with this question raised it will give the President of the United States a good reason for no promise came a good reason for not HON. WILLIAM N. GEMMILL High Class Judges of the Municipality who is being strongly urged by His Husband the race for one of the Superior Cases sending my people to take care of a hospital for us. This will say that such an institution cannot be maintained in peace in the south, and will cause the shedding of human blood, and a big break. I fear that through this break our opportunity is gone, and perhaps to never return. I never dreamed that Alabama had so much love for us, and did not dream that it would go to the trouble to get to cure us or take care of us during our sickness. For I am told that they have on their law books a law which prohibits white women from nursing Negro male patients, yet here comes a position with a salary attached to it, and they are having the abdomenache or some other kind to get the job. Is there any one who can rise up and tell me why this thing should be thusly? Is it the craze for the almighty dollar? I am not going to say all the good and evil things I have in my mind. What I think belongs to me, but what I say belongs to the public and it can be used as the public deems necessary. "Father forgive them, they know not what they do," is my prayer for all of the white folks of Alabama, and I believe the Lord will hear their prayers, and they are going to wake up and find us still going. The largest and most valuable school plant in America for the training of our people, is right in the South and in Alabama South at that. Alabama has nothing within the whole state to equal Tuskegee Institute, and it would be a nice thing now, since the hospital is completed, to take over the school for white boys and girls, and then have the hospital there for WHITE FOLKS ONLY. This is not impossible, nor either possible, but let us pray still further that there is more religion in Alabama for anything like that. Dear National Association, I am praying that you keep your business out of print, and just continue to do all the good you can without seeking so much praise. You will ever have our prayers and our dollars, but please don't publish all you do to help us. You tell too much to the enemy. I am sure that you know I am going some, and I have been doing some going since I wrote the other letter, and I will not be here when you read this. For a few days I have been lingering between life and death, and in Springfield, Mass., I had two of the leading physicians of New England—Dr. Taylor of Boston and Dr. Bowen of Springfield—and they fixed me up so I could reach this place and get in the hands of Dr. A. M. Curtis, who used his knife to perfection, and M. REV. ALONZO J. BOWLING Member of the Moving Picture Censorship Board of Chicago, and Assistant Director of the Metropolitan Community Center Church, Wendell Phillips High School. REV. AND MRS. A. J. BOWLING are GREATLY INTERESTED IN THE SUCCESS OF THE Rev. W. D. Cook, founder and the head director of the Metropolitan Community Center, has no better workers nor assistants than Rev. and Mrs. Alonzo J. Bowling. Rev. Bowling, each Sunday evening, conducts the religious part of the ex-snatched me once more from the hands of them bugs who have been nagging after me for over two years now. I have had a desire to go to Springfield, Mass., for a long time, for I have heard so much of the town, and the freedom, and then I have read the Springfield Republican, the paper that has been reaching out to help my people, and have spoken right out in church concerning our rights. The city is all that is claimed for it, and perhaps here and there a little more. I reached town to attend the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and it is a young body, for this was just the fifth annual session. At the head is a man who came up from Georgia, but a scholar and leader of men. Grand Chancellor E. B. Barco, whose residence is in Boston, and who is indeed a wonderful character. Within five or six years they have built up a wonderful membership, erected a Pythian Temple in Boston, which is occupied, and believe me they have some culture and brains in the grand lodge. This informs us what it means to be a leader of men. They had a wonderful meeting, and in one of the finest auditoriums it has been my lot to be in since I have been in the world, and they tell me that it is classed with the finest of its kind in this country. It belongs to the city of Springfield, and it was furnished to the Grand Lodge free of charge, and more than this the Chamber of Commerce, in a footnote on the program, said: "In recognition of the compliment paid us by your Association in selecting Springfield for your Annual Convention, the Convention Bureau of THE RED CAPS' CLUB First annual picnic and outing at National grove, Riverside, Ill., Tuesday, July 17th, 1923, from 11 A.

His highly talented wife, Mrs. Bow- ling, takes part in the musical pro- gram each Sunday evening. She possesses a clear and sweet soprano voice and it is not difficult for her to run up to high E in the opera Rigoletto Veidi, a feat which Madam Ganna Walska McCormick was unable to ac- complish recently in Paris, France. the Springfield Chamber of Commerce desires to express its appreciation by furnishing this souvenir program. We sincerely hope that we may have the pleasure of greeting you again in the near future." Now these people are getting ready for a big time. They will be at the next supreme lodge in New York, and with a band of one hundred voices. Perhaps I am wrong by saying voices, but there will be one hundred in it and all will have a voice. This band is directed by Prof. Frank Barone, one of the greatest musicians and music writers in this country. I had the pleasure of hearing the "Knights of Pythias March Sons," which was written by Dr. Walter O. Taylor, one of the men who helped to fight them bugs, and the music by Prof. Barone They have had it published by Barone & Taylor, 160 Boylston street, Boston. Well, I had one more time, although sick in Springfield. I did not get to see any of the town, but met one real man and friend, Charles H. Jones who came all the way up there from Columbus, Ga. He is one more great man and is doing great things. I did not have the pleasure of meeting his wife, but she sent me her love, and this man acted as a brother, or father, to me until he landed me right on the iron wagon headed for New York. New York was reached, then Philadelphia, and then to Washington, and Dr. Curtis, and here I am now since the operation improved and hope to be out and about. I am unable to go to Georgia on account of my physical condition. CHARLES E. STUMP. HIGH-CLASS ARCHITECT E. H.

Gregg, Principal of Hampton Institute, Declares Before Alumni of Williams College After Receiving Degree of Doctor of Divinity—Dr. R. R. Moton Says, "Men Must Live Together in Peace and Good-Will." 236 NEGRO MINISTERS MEET AT HAMPTON Hampton, Va.—Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently had conferred upon him by Williams College of Williamstown, Mass., of which Dr. Harry A. Garfield is the president, the degree of "Doctor of Divinity." At the alumni luncheon Doctor Gregg referred to Mark Hopkins' gift to Samuel Chapman Armstrong, class of 1862, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868 and passed the torch to Booker T. Washington, founder of Tuskegee, and Hollis Burke Frissell, who, in turn, kindled the soul of Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. "Hampton, like Williams," he said, "has existed from the beginning to train spiritual leaders—leaders who should lose themselves, not in involuntary servitude, but in voluntary serviceableness." On the problems of inter-racial relationship, Doctor Gregg said: "Among all the clash and rivalry of the nations and races of mankind today, in Europe, in Asia, in Africa, and in our own America, what hope is there for the future if we cannot train men of trustworthy intelligence and good-will? It is an immense problem; but may we not quite as justly regard it as a glorious and beckoning adventure: as an unprecedented challenge to our democracy and to our Christianity? If they cannot meet it, if they cannot endure the test, if they cannot show men how to live and work together, then they are not what we thought they were, and the sooner we find it out the better." "See the Man's Character" Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, spoke recently in Ogden Hall, Hampton Institute, on Hampton Institute's service in giving people, not only knowledge of books, but also knowledge of agriculture, trades, and home economics, and in teaching people how to live together in peace and good-will.

Sweet Pea Frock in Many Pastel Shades Two-tone ribbon in many pastel shades may be combined into a freck as alluring as a bouquet of sweetpeas. The bodice is of bands of ribbon running horizontally across a chiffon foundation. The first band is tied into a large, soft knot near the left shoulder, the second nearer the center and so on, the last being on the extreme right. The ends of the ribbons fall from the shoulder over the arm in uneven lengths. The skirt consists of nothing but ribbons, all the same width, but each a different length, one end fastened to the bodice, the other hanging free, falling toward the knee and some coming to the ankles. Beneath the ribbons is a transparent foundation skirt of flesh-colored chiffon. The entire frock is Hawaiian and bizarre in effect, but represents the height of fashion with its predominance of ribbons. Saying Goes Back to Old Times. The saying "not worth a rush" dates back to the days before carpets were invented, and the floors were strewn with rushes. When an honored guest was expected fresh green ones were cut and spread—but people of little consequence had to be contented with rushes that had been used, while still humbler folk got none at all. "We have got to teach the world," he said, "that, in the spirit of Jesus Christ, there is one shepherd and one fold. This is hard for all people and all races to understand, hard to believe, and very hard to practice. "Hampton Institute is training students for service and is helping people look beyond the veneer of skin and see character—see the man. If the world cannot do this, it is lost. If you cannot do it, your life is a failure. All of us can do it. "In spite of all we hear to the contrary, people are seeing more and more the man in mankind, the God in man—and they are willing to serve God by serving man. That is life." BOOKER T. WASHINGTON PA GEANT PRESENTED AT HAMPTON Hampton, Va.—A pageant adapted from Booker T. Washington's "Up from Slavery" and arranged by Helen A. Whiting of Tuskegee Institute, was presented, in 16 episodes, at Hampton Institute by students of the summer school on Fourth of July evening, with a wide-range program of Negro religious folksongs, which were sung by a large-chorus of students, led by Henry L. Grant, teacher of music, Dunbar High School, Washington, D.C. A summary of the episodes follows: Slaves' prayer-meeting; Teaching a slave to read; Learning to read by stealth; Praying for freedom; Civil War soldiers in camp; Emancipation Proclamation; Freedmen leaving the old plantation; Booker overhearing a conversation about Hampton; Booker on his way to Hampton; Booker admitted to Hampton; Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Tuskegee's grandchildren; A Tuskegee home of today; Tuskegee's model school; Industrial exhibit; and The Booker T. Washington Memorial. In a recent interview with a fashion writer, a prominent "movie" actress said: "Dress is a reflection of one's self. Style is personality. For that reason, I don't believe in a general, a cut-and-dried style. Personality is not cut and dried. Some girls can wear the long-waisted dress; others, the short-waisted. Why should either type wear the kind that presents them in a poor way? Style enhances, else it isn't style. "The girl earning her own living should refrain from indulging in extreme clothes of any sort during business hours. Plain clothes are so attractive when well fitting and well made. "These days the girls earning their own living are in the majority. I would say. They can set the pace, if they wish. You have the '400' of soctility. Why not the '400' of business?" "What is the origin of style, after all? Eve wore a fig leaf. Her modiste was Nature. Eve's direct descendants wore fig leaves, too. Then, one day, one of the visionary descendants creased her fig leaf on the sides. That was the beginning of the plait. Naturally, the other descendants wouldn't permit her to start something that brought all the men to her; they, too, creased their fig leaves. One day another style reactionary strolled forth from the village and with a borrowed club killed herself a nice bear. "When she made her appearance clad in superb bear skin, adroitly draped on her slim form, there was a general gasp from the stunned descendants. All the men flocked to the 'bear dresser'. Notice how with each change in style the men flock to the 'chancee.' "Through the ages, styles have fluctuated from exaggerated simplicity to exaggerated lavianness. With increased population, competition to out-attract others has developed to such a keen pitch that only the artist of fashion reaches nearest perfection. "The happiest compromise, then, for those of us too busy working to make dress our vocation, is to adopt simplicity for our slogan. Let the '4,000' take style by the horns, as it were, and set the pace for ourselves like the '400' do for themselves." Turkish Proverb. Turkish Proverbs.

Represent Ten States and Thirteen Denominations-Dean Brown of Yale Speaks on Lincoln-Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson Pays Tribute to Service of Negro Church-Four-day Program for Tenth Annual Meeting-Rev. M. E. Davis Re-elected President. By Wm Anthony Aery Hampton, Va.-The tenth annual meeting of the Ministers' Conference of Hampton Institute (Rev. M. E. Davis, president, and Rev. Lawrence Fenninger, executive secretary) brought together 236 colored ministers from 10 states and 13 denominations- Baptist, 138; African Methodist Episcopal, 37; African Methodist Episcopal Zion, 13; Protestant Episcopal, 12; Presbyterian, 10; Christian, 7; Methodist Episcopal, North, 5; Colored Methodist Episcopal, 4; Holiness, 4; Congregational, 2; Reformed Union Zion Apostolic, 2; United Presbyterian, 1, and undenominational, 1 Conference Reaches Many States The distribution by states follows: Virginia, 153; North Carolina, 72; New York, 2; New Jersey, 2; Maryland, 2; West Virginia, 1; Georgia, 1; South Carolina, 1; Washington, D. C., 1; and Louisiana, 1. The Rev. Lawrence Fenninger, chaplain of Hampton Institute, on the eve of the conference, gave the following summary for the nine preceding conferences: Six hundred different ministers had come for instruction and inspiration and in these conferences the total attendance had been 1,142 ministers, who represented 20 different states and 17 denominations. He stated that the religious department at Hampton Institute was in touch with 1,500 colored ministers of the South. Dean Brown of Yale Speaks Dean Brown of Yale Speaks The Rev. Dr. Charles Reynolds Brown of New Haven, Conn., dean of the Divinity School in Yale University and well-known author of books on vital questions of applied Christianity, delivered four lectures on "The Art of Preaching." Dean Brown also delivered, before a union meeting of teachers and ministers, his nationally-known address on "Abraham Lincoln," in which he discussed the elements in the greatness of "America's martyred President, who was the greatest inan of the nineteenth century"—his combination of lofty idealism and practical sagacity; his ability to comprehend and use men of extreme views; his power of holding himself close to people and at the same time of guiding them in the ways that they should go; and his political unselfishness and moral integrity. Dean Brown outlined the serious problems which Lincoln faced when he became president of the United State—an empty treasury; headship of an inexperienced party; counsellors who were suspicious of his abilities; public opinion of Europe, for the most part unfriendly to the North; despondency in the North over the existing situation; and in the South a powerful, resolute group in arms against the Government. Dean Brown declared that Lincoln, when he became President, did not wear the tag of any section or school of political thought. He simply did what he believed would save the Union. He had common sense, integrity, and a sense of humor. Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, introduced Dean Brown to the great mass meeting as a Virginian, to whom workers at Hampton were unspeakably grateful, both for his presence and his message. Negro Church Serves Race The Rev. Dr. Mordecai W. Johnson, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Charleston, W. Va., in addition to giving four lectures on "A Social Program from Jesus for the Negro Church," spoke in Ogden Hall to the ministers and members of the Hampton Institute Summer School on "The Co-operation of the Negro Ministers and Teachers." That the Negro church, in spite of denominalism and crudity, is the most powerful factor in the development of the race and deserves the active support of all intelligent Negroes Chinese Idea of the Deluge. The tradition of a deluge in China corresponding to the flood as related in the Bible is embodied in the Chinese book "Li-Kl," where it is stated: "And now the pillars of heaven were broken the earth fell to pieces and the waters inclosed within its bosom, burst forth with violence and overflowed. Man having rebelled against heaven, the system of the universe was totally disordered, and the grand harmony of nature destroyed." Earliest Known Bread. Kasava bread is still to-day a bread-stuff of millions throughout tropical and sub-tropical America. It is the most ancient form of the "staff of life" of the whole Western Hemisphere. The next oldest has its best known type in the Mexican malz-tortillas, which can be obtained at groceries and restaurants in Manhattan and other big cities. for its sixty years of powerful, independent, and constructive service to community life and progress and for its spiritual gifts to a needy and aspiring race, was the conviction expressed by Doctor Johnson, who also referred to the value of the 40,000 Negro ministers in the United States and to the Christian service of educational institutions which have been supported by poor colored people. Man-Building Program The four-day program included a conference sermon by the Rev. Dr. William P. Hayes of New York, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church; three lectures on "Social Hygiene" by Franklin O. Nichols of New York, associate director, department of field organization, American Social Hygiene Association; four lectures on "The Prophet Amos" by Prof. Kemper Fullerton of Oberlin, O., Finney professor of Old Testament language and literature in the Oberlin School of Theology since 1904; four lectures on "The Church and the Community" by the Rev. Hermann N. Morse of New York, director of publicity, Presbyterian Board of Home Missions; and four lectures on "The Significance of Bible Study" by the Rev. Dr. Edward A. Clarke of Cleveland, O., pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church. The following officers of the conference were elected; President, M. E. Davis, Portsmouth, Va.; vicepresidents, L. L. Downing, Roanoke, Va.; S. S. Morris, Norfolk, Va.; D. J. Lee, Norfolk, Va.; J. T. Johnson, Hampton, Va.; A. A. Hector, Richmond, Va.; E. E. Ricks, Newark, N. J.; E. L. Baskerville, Charleston, S. C.; M. W. Johnson, Charleston, W. Va.; E. A. Clarke, Cleveland, O.; J. S. Brown, Rocky Mount, N. C.; W. C. Cleland, Durham, N. C.; W. P. Hayes, New York; H. P. Jones, Pittsburgh; B. F.

Fenninger, Hampton Institute, Va.; associate executive secretary, T. A. Bolling, Hampton Institute, Va. Teaching Through Exhibits the keynote of the exhibit of posters and books—standard books for ministers, books that suggest sermons, recent books, church school books, books for rural ministers, books on methods of building and maintaining the church, and books by conference lecturers—which had been arranged in Clarke Hall (Y. M. C. A. building) for the ministers, was expressed in the slogan: "Where there is no vision the people perish." A few of the conference suggestions follow: "You can live anywhere and be a preacher, but to be a pastor you must live with your people." "When churches cease to wonder 'how to get people' and begin to ponder 'how to serve people' there will be no church problem." "The world's greatest preacher was a country preacher. In those days he came preaching in the wilderness. He had a message!" "Can your people say that you lead them by the still waters? Jesus never intended that a pulpit should be a whipping post." "There is more religion on some street corners 'than there is in some amen corners." "The Ten Commandments do not need rewriting but rereading." "The non-Christian world is not illiterate because it has no desire or capacity for education. It is so because it has never had a chance." "The spirit of good-will among men rests upon spiritual forces." "The peril of the country today is not the uprising of the 'sinners' but the down sitting of the 'saints.'" "A religious education should be the heritage of every child. Spiritual illiteracy is the greatest peril of organized society." "Our evangelists should give more light and less heat." Roman Remains in Britain Roman Remains in Britain. Excavating for the foundation of a new factory to be erected at Keynsham, near Bristol, England, workmen recently unearthed Roman remains. The Daily Chronicle of London reports the discovery of coffins containing skeletons, a Roman needle about six inches long, a spoon and a brooch. The brooch is believed to have put the finishing touch upon the toga of a Roman gallant. Nation's Stability Assured.
