James Hamilton Lewis. Hon. Frank M. Padden Democratic Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court Julius F. Taylor, Editor, The Broad Ax, Chicago, May 26, 1924. My Good Friend: In compliance with my promise to you I beg to submit the following article recounting a bit of ancient history touching the colored race, which in part being new to me, I fancy would be equally new to some of your readers, and interesting to them all. I refer to the great part played in the establishment of the first acknowledged civilizations of the world by those who were black. In other words, I speak of the great influence and power, of character and domination of the Negro in the establishment and foundation of the classic world from which our present civilization acknowledges its creation. When lately connected with the International Commission adjusting the controversies between Greece and Turkey, and incidentally the claims of certain citizens of the United States, I was called to Athens in Greece. While there the excavations and discoveries were brought forth disclosing the early existence of those who were the heads and directors of that ancient land. At the same time I was called to investigate ancient manuscript and record which spoke of the civilization along the Ganges in India, and in part of the land we speak of as China, and in much of that we know now as Persia and Egypt. The manuscript disclosed that Diodurus, the historian has recorded that the government moving from Thebes to Memphis in the time of Alexander+ (who began the building of Alexandria)—were controlled by those calling themselves Thebans. These are represented as presenting themselves as "the most ancient peoples of earth." They were black, with prominent noses, arched forehead, flaming eyes, very thick of lip, large, capacious mouth, and of features so regular as to be used as a model for sculpture. Hon. Frank M. Padden, Democratic candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago to fill vacancy, is so well and favorably known that nothing can be said in these columns which could or would add to his standing as an able, painstaking, upright Lawyer and as an honored citizen of this great city, who can easily count his warm friends by the thousands. In the past Mr. Padden has honorably served as Master-in-Chancery of the Circuit Court of Cook county under His Hon. Judge Philip L. Sullivan, where his legal training was HON. JOSEPH J. SULLIVAN, REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT OF CHICAGO. Hon. Joseph J. Sullivan, who was highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association and the Lawyers Association of the April primaries for Judge of the Municipal Court of Chicago, was born in this city forty-five years ago and he and his family reside at 2601 Sunnyside Avenue. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 31, 1924 These were the foundation of the race of the Ethiopians. The manuscript disclosed that the Ethiopians had established that they were born under the sun's path and ripened earlier than other men. These Negroes were, as the manuscript reveals to Greece, "the inventors of divine worship, the creators of festivals, of solemn assemblage, and of those practices that put into effect the worship of the gods." The manuscript disclosed that "Egypt" was a colony of the Ethiopians guided by the Negrq; and it is insisted that Cleopatra was not a blonde, but was a Negro having what they described as a "taint in her blood" for that somewhere in her line there was the merger of the Arabic yellow, giving to her the semblance of what we would speak of in America as a "mulatto." This race of Negroes was shown in these manuscripts to have been adopted by the earlier Greeks as the authors of letters, hieroglyphics and the alphabet. Among the Grecian classics there was produced extracts from Lucian, who gave to the Negro the credit as being those "who first invested the science of stars and gave names to the planets." Greece responded to her scholars, announcing "that the first learned nation was a nation of blacks," and stated that the Ethiopians who represented the highest intelligence, and greatest wisdom of government and philosophy were a people "of black complexion, thick lips and wooly hair." The Greek academies taught, that from manuscript accessible, it was plain to wisdom that the colony which settled Syria and Arabia, and that which settled lower Egypt were Negroes, and that it was they who overcame the Thebans and imparted to the Theban people the knowledge from which Thebes became famous to the world. In Syria, where I visited in the pursuit of my duties abroad, as touching Turkey, was the record that the such to well fit him to serve as one of the Judges of the Municipal Court of Chicago. Not so long after Hon. William E. Dever was elected Mayor of Chicago, in 1923, he displayed his good horse sense by selecting Mr. Padden as First Assistant Corporation Counsel of Chicago, and right up to this very minute Mr. Padden has reflected great creidit upon Mayor Dever and his administration, and like Mayor Dever Mr. Padden can be counted on being one of the many true friends of the colored race in this city, and on Monday, June 2, thousands of the best class of colored men and women in He attended the parochial schools of Chicago and graduated from Notre Dame University, receiving a degree in both literary and law departments of the University. He was admitted to the Bar in Indiana in 1902, and in Illinois in 1903. His practice has been principally trial work for the past fifteen years. His service in the City Law Department extends over a perod of thirteen years, where he has been engaged as trial attorney, chief assistant City Attorney, attorney for the Board of Local Improvements, Sphinx was black; hence "was a monument to memorialize the Negro in his achievements of philosophy, history and science to the then governments of earth." The Greeks still teach at Athens, from their professors of classic history, that the authentic images of Thebans show that they were sculptured in marble from the pose of the face, body and life of the Negro. At Pharos again it is reported that the classic teaching demonstrated that the Pharaohs were black, and that the only instance where they are mentioned as being white, was where a branch of the Pharaohs were condemned for mingling their blood by illicit relations with those who corrupted the pure black. It was this black that was the pride of the then prevailing power of Egypt. As I left Greece her new institutions of learning had begun to add to the excavations of buildings, the revival of the history of the people who had established the first connections of the world, and the last quotation brought forth to be presented by Greece as the final judgment, read: "There are people now forgotten who ruled while others were barbarians and were the authors of the elements of the arts and sciences. This race of men were later rejected from society for their sable skin and frizzled hair; yet it was these who founded the study of the laws of nature and established those civil and religious systems which still govern the universe." I have taken the liberty to bring these facts to your attention, assuming that the scholars of your people, as well as its business and toiling numbers, would find an interest in this admission, and particularly in the establishment of the ancient origin of modern government as springing from the brain and character of the Negro. Very respectfully, JAS. HAMILTON LEWIS. Chicago will assist to elevate him to the municipal court bench where they will always have a tried and true friend at court. Mr. Padden is happily married and resides with his beautiful new bride in a lovely home at 4833 North Rockwell street.

He is also a prominent member of many other secret societies and social clubs. special counsel in large condemnation cases. As the leading trial lawyer in all the large condemnation cases he saved the taxpayers of this city more than forty million dollars, as stated by former mayor William Hale Thompson who states open and above board that Mr. Sullivan was for eight years connected with the City Law Department, while he served as mayor of Chicago; and Mr. Thompson wants the world to know that he regards Continued on page 2 M.

Hon. Frederic R. DeYoung, Republican Candidate for Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois Hon. Freeman LeRoy Fairbank, Republican Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court Hon. Freeman LeRoy Fairbank, Republican Candidate for Judge of the Municipal Court Concluded from page 1 in the practice of his chosen profession in this wonderful city. From that time until he was selected by Governor Frank O. Lowden to serve as Judge of the Circuit Court of Cook county for a short time. Being clear or level-headed, Judge De Young reflected much honor upon himself and upon the people residing in this city and county while serving them in that capacity. He was a representative in the forty-ninth and fifteenth General Assemblies of Illinois; was chairman of the Republican Steering Committee of the House of Representatives of Illinois in 1915, and of the Judiciary Committee of the same body in 1917; was a member of the recent Constitutional Convention of Illinois, and was chairman of its Committee on Judicial Department; on December 12, 1922, he was elected justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois from the Seventh Supreme Judicial District, but owing to the defeat of the new constitution submitted at the same time, the two additional memberships of that court, provided by that instrument, to one of which he was elected were not created. He is an honored member of the Chicago, Illinois, State and American Bar Associations and of the bar of the Supreme Court of the United States. Of his public service it has been said: "His service in the House were of the highest possible character. He displayed great ability and industry in the discharge of his duties, and was actuated alone by a desire to serve the public good."—Governor Lowden. "Mr. De Young is a man of absolute integrity and exceptional ability."—Former Speaker Shurtleff. Frederic R. DeYoung, representative, Republican. Ending his second term. As head of the Judiciary Committee he made a particularly efficient record in the handling of bills in committee. He is the most able debater in the House, and, although his legislative experience has been short, he is known as one of the three or four Concluded from page 1 The Cook County Grand Jury enpannelled for October Term, 1922, reported to the Chief Justice as follows: "We desire to record our appreciation of the faithful service of Assistant State's Attorney Roy Fairbank, who was in constant attendance in the Grand Jury room, and who worked ably and untiringly to facilitate our task. His work in the trial of the cases he has brought before us has made a deep impression upon the members of the jury and they wish him to know that every man is his friend and hope for his highest reward in his profession." The Grand Jury sworn in for the November Term, 1922, reported the following to the Chief Justice. "Mr. LeRoy Fairbank, Assistant State's Attorney in charge of the Grand Jury, has tried all the cases presented to this body and the jury are impressed with his fairness of mind and ability and desire to thank him for his courteous treatment of the members of this body." The January, 1923, Grand Jury adopted and presented to the Chief Justice an exhaustive report on crime and vice conditions concluding as follows: "And in closing we wish to compliment Assistant State's Attorney Le Roy Fairbank on account of the ability and professional conduct exhibited by him during the course of this inquiry."

We consider him well qualified."—Report, October 15, 1923, on qualifications of candidates, for Judges of the Superior Court of Cook county, by Committee, Chicago Bar Association. Some of the outstanding facts in relation to his friendship for the colored people and right and justice are these: As a member of the Legislature of this state he was very active in his support of Hon. Robert R. Jackson's bill to suppress the "Birth of a Nation" and voted for his bill as chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the lower House at that time and he greatly assisted to kill off all the vicious legislation aimed at the colored race. As one of the foremost members of the Constitutional Convention he was the author of the following provision in Bill of Rights in the new constitution that "laws shall be applicable alike to all citizens, without regard to race or color." At all times he had the manly courage to stand shoulder to shoulder with Hon. Edward H. Morris in every movement he made to protect the civil and the political rights of the colored people in the grand old state of Illinois. On November 6, 1923, Judge De Young, with a large majority at his back, was elected one of the new judges of the Superior Court of Cook county for six years and at that time he was highly endorsed by the Chicago Bar Association, the Lawyer's Association of Illinois and the Better Government Association of Chicago and Cook county. Making a long story real short, he will on Monday, June 2, he elevated to the bench of the highest court in this state and he will make an ideal Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Illinois. Another typical report was made by the January, 1924, Grand Jury and presented to the Chief Justice by the foreman, John H. Winterbotham, recites: Assistant State's Attorney Freeman LeRoy Fairbank has been unfailingly courteous, considerate and diligent and has shown marked ability in his handling of cases and questioning of witnesses." The Report of the Committee of the Chicago Bar Association on qualifications of candidates dated March 25, 1924, in speaking of Mr. Fairbank, states: "He has had an active professional experience and is qualified for the office." The April Term 1924 Grand Jury Report says: "The Grand Jury esteems it a pleasure as well as its duty to refer to the work of Assistant State's Attorney Fairbank. The people of Cook County, and even the offenders who have committed crimes are fortunate in the broad understanding, the judicial temperment, the honesty of purpose, and unquestionable ability, as well as the pleasing personality of Mr. Fairbank."

Poro College, St. Louis, Mo.—The general conference is over and from this letter you will at once decide that I am away from Louisville, and I am, and now I am right here in St. Louis, Mo., and if I were not here I would be in some other part of the world, so we will have to let it go at that. Just as soon as the general conference was over and I could get my belongings together I left for Chicago, and was met at the stable by Dr. Jesse Trice, who is connected with the city health department. You see my friend, Charles Stewart had moved to his new home, 4823 Calumet avenue, and they wanted to have me come to it, hence Mrs. Elvie L. Stewart sent Dr. Trice down to meet me in order to keep me from being lost in big Chicago. Dr. Trice is one of the finest men that it has been my lot to know in this world, saying nothing about the world that is yet to come. He toted my bags, trunks and was willing to tote me if necessary, but it was not necessary, hence he did not tote me anywhere except in his fine automobile carriage. It was a nice ride down that street they called Grand Boulevard street, or something like that. I looked the house over when I got there. Stewart is no longer on Aberdeen street, but on that Calumet avenue. He has purchased a flat there and was smiling all over his face when I saw him. Now comes the getting away. I had a nice time in Chicago, and had the pleasure of meeting the leader of the Baptists of America, Dr. L. K. Williams, and he is one more busy-man. He told me that I was a great man and he was glad to see me. It is the first time since I have been a member of your race that I have had any one to call me a great man and I fear that I am going to get the big head, and if I should that will mean death, for when a horse gets the big head he is doomed to die, and I suppose it is the same thing with a man. Pray for me, please. Now then, Sunday morning in rain, I left Chicago, and that same Dr. Trice came to the house to tote me out to the stable to get on the wagon headed for this city, and I got here, just one hour late, but I got here, and found at the gate a young man from Poro, awaiting to tote me out to the college, in one of them fine automobile car carriages. I found that Mrs. Malone was away, she had gone to help out in a matter of charity. Now I suppose I will have to tell you about this, for it is in order, and I am sure you want to know. It was an effort to raise money to pay off a $50,000 on the orphans home, and if there are any two people in all the world interested in orphans in this country, they are the Malones. They know what it is to be orphans, they know what it is to struggle in this cold business world to make a place. They now believe in giving opportunity to others, and this is what they are doing. The St. Louis Colored Orphan Home has been struggling for years to live, and it has been living at this poory dying rate. But when it was brought to the attention of Mrs. Malone, she got busy and told the people, not to do, but she said "Come let us do for our own." Mrs. Annie M. Malone was elected chairman of the Board, and she accepted, but it was not merely to direct the work, but it meant work and plenty work for her. With all her heart, she went into it. A drive was put on and a large amount of money raised, and I think she gave herself $10,000 or $15,000 dollars. This was not a promise, but she planked down the cash. Prof. Aaron E. Malone, A. M., was elected treasurer, and the building was erected. It was necessary with the cash they had on hand to borrow $50,000, but when you see who the chairman of the board is and the treasurer, it was an easy thing to get all the money they wanted from any bank in St. Louis. Last Sunday was set apart to raise some of the money, but up to this writing they have not finished counting it. I am told by people who have lived in St. Louis for fifty years or more that they have never seen such a demonstration. They were in all forms. They had a big parade, and it is a nice thing to parade for charity's sake. The Shriners, the Knights of Pythias, the Masons in all forms—in fact all the societies in town whose object is to help humanity, and to shed benevolence were on hand. I am told that the parade was over two miles long. Bands in abundance, were there, and attracted thousands of people. They marched to the grounds, and there they contributed to the cause. In addition to this they purchased refreshments, for they had refreshments on hand, and they were served by polite, courteous ladies of this race of ours. "Ice cream, cake, soda water, pop, sandwiches"—in fact everything that your teeth can fasten on and make the glands set forth joy was served. All of this was donated, and I am proud to tell you that a larger part of it by Poro College. I did not tell you that the American Legions were on hand in all their glory, and in one of the Poro automobile car carriages were 8 veterans of the Civil War. I am sure that these men's hearts were thrilled with joy. They were happy, because of that which they passed 62 years ago, and they are happy because they like the Apostle Paul, have lived in two dispensations. They know of then and they know the now. From this you may see why there is so much made over Poro. It is an institution of good. It improves on the individual, and then it at the same time helps the whole race. That is why Mrs. Malone is in the hearts of the people, and that is why God is blessing both of them. Have you ever met Mrs. Malone? If not I hope some day you will meet her. She is the property of the people, and it matters not how humble you are, or how poor you are, you can reach her and don't have to do it through a private secretary or any other kind of secretary. Do you want to see Mrs. Malone? That is the only question. Her life is spent, not for self, but for others. I had the pleasure of meeting E. E. McDaniel, the man who has made himself useful around Poro College, and who is now an all-around man. He has charge of the advertising, and he reads all the papers, and then he is—well he is just a man every inch of him, and I want to congratulate the race for producing such a man, and at the same time congratulate the Poro college for getting him. Today the Poro college has one of the best systems in the world for looking after that big amount of business they are doing. I am glad to tell you this and some day I am going to take time and tell you how things are done at Poro college. I am sure you know all about the new bishops and what they are going to do, and then you know that there were many good things happened in the General Conference. The news reached Louisville, that A. J. Carey, Jr., the son of the his father had won a debate and one thousand dollars handed down to him. The bishops—in fact the general conference wired him congratulations, and then to the surprise of all, he stated that he was going to give one hundred dollars for a scholarship in Africa. The boy has the right idea of things, and I am proud of this. We want to encourage the boys to take more interest in the affairs of life. God give us more of them. We need them and we must have them. I think I will have to bring this letter to a stop. But before doing so, I am to remind you that next week the Republican National Convention will meet in Cleveland and nominate a man for President of the United States, and I feel that he will be elected, and then this will be followed by the meeting of the National Baptist Sunday School and B.Y.P.U. Congress in the same city, and the same place, and June 18 is the time. Baptists will be there by the thousands. It is fortunate that Baptists and Republicans will meet in the same place, and both of them will meet for good. If you want to write me a letter send it to 222 North Roman street, New Orleans, Louisiana. As you read this letter I am headed for Fort Worth Texas, to see the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias, and from there on to New Orleans. on to NEW ORLEANS CHARLES E. STUMP. ARRESTED FOR PLAYING POLICY Ben White and Bowman were taken into custody by officer W. D. Williams, at 31st and State Streets for playing policy, at 7 o'clock Wednesday morning. The defendant denied the charge, but the slips were found on their persons and produced in court. The officer testified that Bowman was sitting in a barber shop, and when he entered the place, he slipped the sheets or slips of paper under his hat, and he investigated to see why he was secreting something and found the slips. They were represented by Attorney Barnes. Barnes. Judge LaBuy fined them $25.00 and costs and told them that the next time would not be as light—and to watch their step. Hon. William A. Cunnea has removed his law offices from the Reaper Block, Clark and Washington streets, to suite 1100, 160 N. La Salle street, the new Burnham building, where he will be pleased to see his many friends and clients. NEWS ITEMS BY MISS PEACH BLOSSOM Another Great Speaker at the An- throp Meeting The Anthrops enjoyed another great speaker in their regular meeting, at the Capitol Building, in the per- son of Mrs. Wells Barnett, one who is known so well in Chicago, as well as in other cities for her great service in helping humanity. The house was well filled and it was evident that it was considered a great treat by the loud and continuous encore after the speech. She was urged to come often and give them another opportunity of hearing her. She made friends and her talk will be long remembered. ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY CONDUCT Hired to Clean Lincoln Theatre—Bu Allowed Pals to Stick Around; May Cost Him His Job William Coleman, who has been in the services of John Moore, manager of the Lincoln Theatre for six years, and as testified by the owner, has rendered efficient service up until the time he was taken in custody, was arraigned before Judge Joseph S. La Buy, and dismissed Wednesday morning for disorderly conduct. DISMISSED BECAUSE OF NO CORROBORATING TESTIMONY Defendant Testified He Got 2 Cases of Whisky; Owner That He Got Several Suits. What Did He Get? Dismissed Jesse Harris, charged with breaking into a tailorshop at 3929 Grand Boulevard, and taking several suits from the establishment, and disposing of them, pleaded not guilty to the charge, but did plead guilty to taking from the tailorshop, something what he considered much better than clothes, two cases of "bond" whisky, which he sold at $10 a pint, and received quite a little sum. He was identified by several persons who testified that Jesse Harris was the same person who had broken in, or walked in, as the case was, to their several places of business and had done some damage in all, either took money, clothes, household goods, just according to what he took a fancy to. In this particular case, he was represented by counsel, Attorney Clifford A. Tavernier, who has a suite of offices at 3457 So. State Street, and who made a very strong plea for the defendant, showing that the testimony was not corroborated, as to competency of witness and evidence, and the Judge agreed with him that no evidence had been corroborated. The owner testified that Harris had gone in his shop and had taken several suits of clothes, intimating that he had not touched his whisky—while Harris testified that he had not touched the clothes, but had taken the old "bond" whisky. FINED FOR CHASING GIRL Arthur Wright was arrested Tuesday morning for chasing a girl on 45th street, about 7 o'clock. The girl, Mary Mead, testified that he was drunk, and that she did not know him, and had never seen him before. He testified that he had an appointment with the girl and that he was not chasing her, but running to catch up with her. He was fined $10 and cost. FINED $100 AND COSTS FOR CARRYING A GUN There has been so much gun carrying here allately, that Judge LaBuy is fining all who come before him, charged with carrying a gun, very heavily, in an attempt to put an end to much of the crimes that are being committed daily on the south side. Richard Dix, was found carrying a gun, by an officer, Tuesday night, about 11:30 and was fined $100 and costs this morning in Judge LaBuy's court room. He gave no excuse for carrying it at all. OFFICER CAUGHT GIRL SELLING BEER Told Him It Had a Kick In It; Was Two Per Cent Alcohol Bertha Davis, was arranged before Judge LaBuy for selling near beer, in her premises, at 12 W. 25th St. She had just sold some beer when the officer arrived; as he alleged, but was denied by her. He testified that he asked her about it and she admitted that she made it and that it sure had some kick in it. Mrs. Conley was also in the flat, but she said she did not buy the beer, she only dorpped in and was invited to have a drink. The case was dismissed as there was no evidence that she had been selling it only as admitted by the officer. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, MAY 31, 1924 THE WORLD'S FIRST AFRICAN BANKER BISHOP W. SAMPSON BROOKS One of the most powerful preachers and orators in Church, who will return to Africa, where he w next four years. One of the most powerful preachers and orators in the A. M. E. Church, who will return to Africa, where he will spend the next four years. Fred Owens, living at 3455 Giles Ave., was arrested by Officer Edward Owens, at 3:10 Wednesday morning, for having whiskey in his home. Owens was represented by counsel, who asked that the evidence be suppressed as the officer had no search warrant, which was all that could be done, as a search warrant is necessary before they are permitted to go in and search the premises. The case was dismissed. Many Theories as to the Creation of Woman Woman's first appearance has been a popular subject of legends. The Phoenecian myth of creation is found in the story of Pygmalian and Galatee. There the first woman was carved out of ivory by the first man, and then endowed with life by Aphrodite. The Greek theory of the creation of woman, according to Heslol, was that Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered DISMISSED AFTER PAYING CAB FARE John Doe, alias, Edward Holmes, was taken into custody by an officer, Tuesday night, for hiring a taxi-cab to take him for a "little ride," all by himself and didn't have the fare to pay when the ride was "over." The Judge asked the defendant with whom he went riding and when told that he went alone, could not see how any man would want to be riding around in a taxieab all by himself. The case was dismissed after paying the cab driver the cost of the fare. FINED $5 AND COSTS FOR BE ING CRUEL TO ANIMALS Man Worked Sick Horse All Day and Without Proper Food Officer Montgomery, testified Wednesday morning that L. Scruggs, had been told that a certain horse that he had in his possession was in no condition for working, and that he should make away with him. He also had another horse, which seemed to be in a little better condition than the first one. This one was used to haul dirt. He told him that neither of the horses were in condition to be worked, but to this advice, Scruggs paid little attention. He was fined $5 and costs. No Belgian Back Yards There are no back yards in Belgium, says the New York Times. The type of cottage familiar to Great Britain or the United States is missing in Belgium, for the average employee does not earn, even after some years' service, more than 20,000 francs ($1,000) annually, and he is obliged to content himself with a flat, as cheap as possible, and near his place of business. Wooden houses of any sort are a rarity and even stucco-construction on metal lath is unknown. Anything like the yard, which every American wants around his house, is next to unknown due to the standardization of house dimensions to high real estate values. Philatelists Blamed The fact that stamp collectors apparently are overstocked, for the moment, with the issues of Somaliland, has brought about a financial crisis in the affairs of the post office department of that country. In explaining that the department was insolvent, the official in charge sold the revenue for 1923 was $6,100, a decrease of $9,310 over the previous year, "due to the demands of philanthropists being satisfied." The government expects to bring out a new issue of stamps this year. Value to Conscience The "Conscience Fund" is a popular name referring to money received by persons unknown at the Treasury department. This money is received from persons who have cheated the government. Annually this amounts to a few thousand dollars. For 1923 the amount was $2,844.23. This money is used for miscellaneous expenses. The Australian tomato weevil is now becoming a menace to the much-liked vegetable. Many Theories as to the Creation of Woman Woman's first appearance has been a popular subject of legends. The Phoenician myth of creation is found in the story of Pygmalian and Galatea. There the first woman was carved out of ivory by the first man, and then endowed with life by Aphrodite. The Greek theory of the creation of woman, according to Hesiod, was that Zeus, as a cruel jest, ordered Vulcan to make woman out of clay, and then induced the various gods and goddesses to invest the clay doll with all their worst qualities, the result being a lovely thing, with a witchery of men, refined craft, eager passion, love of dress, treacherous manners and shameless mind. The Scandinavians say that as Odin, Vill and Ve, the three sons of Bor, were walking along the sea beach, they found two sticks of wood, one of ash and one of elm. Sitting down, the gods shaped man and woman out of these sticks, whitening the woman from the elm and calling her Erinia. One of the strangest stories concerning the origin of man is told by the Madagascarens. In so far as the creation of man goes, the legend is not unlike that related by Moses, only that the fall came before Eve had arrived. After the man had eaten the forbidden fruit he became affected with a boll on the leg, out of which, when it burst, came a beautiful girl. The man's first thought was to throw her to the pigs; but he was commanded by a messenger from heaven to let her play among the grass and flowers until she was of marriageable age, then to make her his wife. He did so, called her Baboura, and she became the mother of all races of men. The American Indian myths relating to Adam and Eve are numerous and entertaining. Some traditions trace back our first parents to white and red malze; another is that man, searching for a wife, was given the daughter of the king of the muskrats, who, on being dipped into the waters of a neighboring lake, became a woman. Leave Worries at Home It is one of the most remarkable things in the world, I believe; the docility of the traveling American. Upon it has been built up a truly astonishing business. In exchange for so many thousand dollars and the complete surrender of his adventurous spirit, the tourist receives so many thousand miles of luxurious ocean and rail travel in absolute guaranteed safety. He need do nothing and he need know nothing. Everything is arranged. The languages and customs of the countries he visits are of no importance, for he travels on a magic carpet specially manufactured for his use. This is what he wants not merely for himself if he happens to go, but for his wife and daughters. Standardized emotion on a quantity production basis. Possibly this is what Jeremy Beanth and his fellow economists meant by "the greatest happiness of the greatest number."—William McFee, in the Bookman. Labrador Gold The geological survey of Canada has issued a report which indicates considerable doubt as to whether placer gold is to be found in any considerable quantity in Labrador, which has been heralded as a new Klondike. The chances for the occurrence of rich placer deposits "seem very remote," and some of the advertisements relative to the reported gold field "seem importable," states the report. It is pointed out that Labrador was intensely glacierated and swept clean, the ice sheet being unhampered in its movement seaward and that there is little likelihood of placer having since been formed in Labrador.—Scientific American.

E. Spingarn. Published by Messrs. Harcourt, Brace & Co. 383 Madison Ave., New York City. Price $2.00, by Mail $2.10 J. E. Spingarn, one time professor at Columbia, Major of Infantry in the A.E.F., but best of all for some years Chairman and now Treasurer of the Board of the N.A.A.C.P., has published a collection of his poems, and those who love him for his sympathy and daring and unswerving battle for justice, will want to know what is in it. It is a small volume, only one hundred and forty pages, but beautifully printed and full of verses that move rhythmically, with smooth cadence and almost always with rhyme. After these days of bumping over cobblestones it is good to ride with one's poet along a smooth road. The road takes us through many experiences and moods. The earliest verse has a swagger in the love songs; then the youth sees visions, and in the New Hesperides, the best known of the poems, shows the America of our dreams. "O country that Columbus sought in vain, And seeking you DeLeon found no peace, For us they left the dream to reap, and gain A fairer Golden Fleece." Later comes the champion of the unpopular cause with his "Fate of a Scholar," and then the soldier giving us a glimpse of other soldiers and of war. All these threads of a life string the poems together, yet those that deal with any incident are few. The sheer beauty of the poems is marvellous. I wish I might quote Respect the Truth Respect the truth. Be true. There is no conscience, there is no noble life, there is no capacity for sacrifice where there is not a religious, a rigid, and a rigorous respect for truth. Strive, then, to fulfill this difficult duty. Untruth corrupts whoever makes use of it before it overcomes him against whom it is used.

The lover of nature: "The March mists melting into flowers." "Winds rippling with the rich delight of spring." But I am going to try to satisfy myself with giving one poem in its entirety. It is written at Amenia where there was a great conference once upon a time. THE GARDEN AT TROUTBECK In the grace of twilight, what outer fate Can pass this portal, this garden gate? All the world is rent with doom. But here these furies find no room; Here all is quiet; all is peace, Roses and lillies, my golden fleece. But the rose whispers: "Why do you stay When my soft petals fly away?" The lily says: "Dreamer of dreams, Why do you linger beside these streams?" The larkspur says: "I love a man, But that was when the red blood ran." The foxglove cries: "Why stand and wait, When every moment is rich with fate?" The hollyhock with pride aglow Cries, "Soldier of peace, I bid you go." O garden of dreams, is there no peace Even in your own soft release? Must the blind fury of worlds at war Dim the light of your garden star? Is there no haven horizon-free From the dark vision of misery? First Trip to Australia The first authenticated voyage to Australia was made by the Dutch in 1606. It is believed, however, that the country was visited by the French prior to this date, though there are no actual records. The first important explorations were made by Captain Cook, who visited the country in 1770.

It was a pretentious residence surrounded by beautiful grounds. He remained devoted to his arrogant mother and proud sister through a stipulation of his father's will—that Judson, remaining unmarried as long as his mother and frail sister should need his care, would in that circumstance only inherit the estate. But inherited, luxurious indulgence caused the good-natured Judson to be apparently submissive to the stipulation required. Judson Fairburn, even now in later years, was a lovable man. Richard Warring in his young manhood made the elder man his close companion. Now, Richard was going to a far mountainous country, on a long coveted engineering commission. So, on a sunshine morning, Richard found himself traveling up Greenport toward the white house, a vision just above. In this wondrous land, the young man's blood raced in anticipation of pleasing adventure. A sound in the pine needles behind his resting retreat caused him to turn; a girl stood there, blossoming like some mountain flower out of the solitude. "Mr. Warring?" questioned the unexpected one. "Granny Laurel sent me on to meet you. Mr. Fairburn had written us of your coming. You have a horse, I see." "I hired him," Richard explained, "farther down the village." He paused, asked of the fair guide—"And you?—Mr. Fairburn mentioned only Mrs. Laurel and Saille." The girl motioned to the seat of phe needles which Richard had vacated. "May we talk a little while?" she asked impulsively; "there is much I would like to hear about Mr. Fairburn. He did not speak of me? Well, he knew that I would speak for my self. I am 'Glory.'" "Glory!!" Richard looked at the glowing face, the shining eyes—"An appropriate name," he said, and smiled. The young woman answered gravely. "I will tell you how I happened to be named—it is my history. I call Mrs. Laurel 'Granny' and Sallie 'Aunt,' because—because I have to pretend relatives. I—am nameless." Her fearless gaze met his pitying, wondering one. "It was one morning at sunrise I came, Granley Laurel says, a like gift from Heaven, with the sunrise. The mountains were all aglow when they found me here. And strangely, your friend Mr. Fairburn had arrived the night before, on one of his mountain visits. When Granny carried me to him, that he might look into my baby face, he said: "You must keep her and care for her, and I will be glad to send money that she may have schooling, and the things that home girls have. Mr. Fairburn had, Granny told me, lost one he loved, and this thought came to him, as a means of comfort. He kept his word; and when he would come, as I grew to girlhood, we would be great chums, riding, walking together these very paths. As soon as I was old enough to teach in the tiny school I attended, I wrote and told him to discontinue sending money. He was very kind, and I write to him still to show that I do not forget that long kindness. So, can you think how glad I am to welcome Mr. Fairburn's friend? We hope to make your stay here pleasant." Richard's stay was pleasant. Never had he known such happiness. To go out into the sweet morning air with Glory; to watch with her the stars shining above the hills from the porch of the white house. To be with Glory—that was not only happiness, but a great joy. So, as the time of his departure drew near, Richard asked Glory to marry him; and simply, her trustful eyes upon his, Glory promised. The mountain mission minister performed the marriage ceremony in Granny Laurel's little home, and afterward Richard took his bride on a brief wedding journey to the higher mountain. When they returned Granny Laurel met them; her kind eyes showing traces of tears. Gently she broke the news. Judson Fairburn had died of heart trouble. It was his old mother who had written tremblingly to the address her son had given. Judson had confessed when word of Glory's marriage came to him, that he was Glory's father. Years ago he, too, had known a wedding ceremony in Granny Laurel's little home for Glory's mother was Granny's daughter, indeed. He had intended to make confession to his own mother just as the summons came calling him to the mountain, to see his young wife pass from the world in the sunrise, which left the baby Glory opening her soft eyes. Through the years which followed Judson had remained silent, hoping perhaps, to gain his inheritance, to pass on to his loved daughter. But Judson's mother outlived him. And now, in the kinder vision of old age, she begged of her granddaughter to come on to this, her own true inheritance. Granny Laurel kissed Glory's forehead. "You will go with your husband," she said, "to claim your own, while I will stay here, that you may come back often to the peace and glory of the mountain.
