The best of Aberdeen book paper was used and four beautiful double column halftone newspaper cuts occupied its front page, namely, the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, the late Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Dr. Robert R. Moton and Mr. Jesse Binga. No other newspaper in this city published in the interest of the colored race in this city came within one thousand miles of approaching it. On Tuesday morning before the first session of the National Negro Business League was opened up for business we took much pride in presenting Dr. Moton with a copy of that issue of the paper with his picture on its front page. He looked at it for a few moments before he was able to speak; then he declared that that was the "best and finest piece of newspaper work that he had ever come in contact with." Then he walked away without saying thank you or offering to pay 10 cents for the copy of the paper. Later on his eyes opened real wide when he beheld four or five little colored boys distributing one thousand copies among the delegates and the others who attended the opening session of his personal National Negro Business League. The writer labored under the impression that after making such a wonderful display right before his eyes that when he was ready to deliver his annual address on Wednesday evening he would utter a few words of praise in our behalf. We sat and looked him in the eyes all the time he was delivering his annual address. Finally he stopped speaking as he came down towards the end of his subject, the newspapers. Then he started in to loudly sound the praises of Col. Robert S. Abbott, who was standing near THE BROAD AX BY, THE SO-CALLED RETARY TO DR. BUTTERLY FAILED IN MOUTH AT THE MRS.

For fully fifteen minutes he was engaged in lauding Col. Abbott to the skies. As he stood there he resembled the willing slave of some big white or colored man, and Dr. Moton was fearful all the time that if he spoke one word in our behalf that Col. Abbott would not tout or blow him up in the greatest newspaper in the world. As a way less than five hundred delegates attended the last meeting of his National Negro Business League, held in this city in August, 1924. Dr. Moton should be removed as its president at its meeting in Tulsa, Okla., the end of next week and a new man should be selected to fill his place; one who would be able to pump some new blood into it. THE LINCOLN UNION FIRE IN SURANCE COMPANY RETIRES FROM THE FIELD The latter part of last week, the Lincoln Union Fire Insurance Company, with offices at 3510 Indiana ave. closed up shop for some time to come. After a recent meeting of its head officials it was decided to retire from the field of action, disband and return the money back to the stockholders, which they had paid in on their stock. It was one of the most pretentious business undertakings in the city. Dr. R. A. Williams, president of the Royal Circle of Friends, was president; Mr. Harvey A. Watkins, real estate dealer, was treasurer; C. Udell Turpin, secretary; Mr. Jesse Binga, banker; Robert S. Abbott, publisher; Dr. Charles Thompson, vice president of the Your Cab Company; Earl B. Dickerson, attorney for the Liberty Life Insurance Company; L. L. Liudsay, former newspaperman of Lincoln, Neb.; Senator Adelbert H. Roberts, Dr. Carl G. Roberts, head of the local N. A. A. C. P.; Dr. A. W. Mercer, Dr. Prince Cameron, Dr. Edward W. Murray, Leroy Johnson and Dr. A. O. Taylor, Cleveland, Ohio, were members of the Board of Directors. The cause is said to have been a disinclination or inability to raise the reserve demanded by state laws. The company had raised the required capital of $100,000. The Board has announced its willingness to stand all THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, AUGUST 15, 1925 [Name] The Lame or the Wishy Washy President of the National Negro Business League, who spent much time in sounding the praises of Col.

Some observers are attaching significance to the breaking up of the company so soon after Mr. Jesse Binga, a shrewd business man, had been made a member of the board to fill the place of Phil A. Jones. There is also a disposition to question the motive of the company in waiting so long before deciding that it was not going to raise the surplus required. Seemingly one trouble with the Lincoln Union Fire Insurance Company was it was top heavy with vice presidents for all of its stockholders including Col. Robert S. Abbott, had an itching desire to wear the title and honor of being vice president. NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE ANNOUNCES FELLOWSHIP Graduates of Springfield College, Pisk and Howard Universities are Successful Candidates The National Urban League announces the following successful candidates for its 1925-1926 Fellowships: Miss Miriam Atkins, of Winston-Salem, N.

SOUTH IS PROVIDING LARGER NUMBER OF NEGRO HIGH SCHOOLS B. C. Caldwell Speaks to Hampton Institute Summer School on the Training of Negro Teachers-He Pays Tribute to Jeanes Teachers Who Help to Raise Levels of Community Life By Wm. Anthony Aery Hampton, Va.—Through well-organized summer schools, colleges and county training schools the number of colored teachers is being rapidly increased, according to B. C. Caldwell of Hartford, Ky., field director of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, who spoke recently to the Hampton Institute summer school. Mr. Caldwell described the work which is being done to train colored teachers in 17 Southern states, including Missouri and West Virginia. "The Southern States," he said, "are building high schools for colored boys and girls faster than they can train high-school teachers. The movement for colored high schools is new. Up to six or seven years ago there was the general feeling that a state was doing pretty well, if it provided elementary education for colored children. Eight years ago there were 11 colored high schools in the Southern states; this year there are over 300. Texas has 234 colored high schools. There is not nearly a large enough supply of trained men and women for the Negro high schools.' Last Spring Mr. Caldwell made a tour of inspection of the work which is being done for Negroes on the collegiate level. He found that a great deal of good work was being done in many parts of the country, North as well as South, West as well as East. Mr. Caldwell paid warm tribute to the fine work which is being done by 327 Jeanes teachers, who are rather uniformly distributed throughout the South. Virginia has 57; North Carolina, 41; South Carolina, 34; Louisiana and Alabama, 29 each; Georgia, 24 and Tennessee, 23. The Jeanes teachers carry sound ideas of education to the people and help to raise, by-slow, steady stages, the levels of community life and to bring about better understanding and co-operation between the races. "Teachers who attend summer school should have the opportunity," said Mr. Caldwell, "of being furnished with such lessons as will be guides to them in their future work and of hearing lessons taught by teachers with the easy voice of conversation." DR. WALTER N. THOMAS RE TURNS HOME FROM ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN Last Wednesday evening, Dr. Walter N. Thomas, whose office is located at 2359 S. State street, returned home from Ann Arbor, Mich., where he had been taking advanced courses in medicine and so on for three weeks at the University of Michigan. Mr. Chester A. Wicks, the expert electrician, 205 East Pershing Road, accompanied Dr. Thomas home in his machine from Detroit, Mich., and they greatly enjoyed the trip. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE BROAD AX No. 48 Alabama, ent of the Chicago In Five-Hun-ee Sessions --- COL. HERBERT H. FIELDS, NATIONAL GRAND MASTER OF A.U.K. AND D. OF A., WOUND UP ITS SESSIONS AT INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, LAST SATURDAY (Special to The Broad Ax) Indianapolis, Ind.—The 18th annual session of the National Grand Council of A.U.K. and D. of A. closed up shop in this city last Saturday evening and it was the most successful meeting ever held in the history of the Grand Council. The big parade held on Friday and which moved over the principal streets of the city, was one of the finest sights, said to be by the people, that ever passed through the streets of Indianapolis. Heading the prade was Major General John A. Shackleford of St. Louis, Mo., accompanied by 75 members of his staff, followed by 2,000 men, women and children of the military department; following were more than 75 automobiles carrying the national grand master and other national grand officers. At night, a great prize contest took place at Tomilson's hall and at which time a thousand dollars was given away in prizes to the crack drill teams from Chicago, St. Louis, Indianapolis and Cincinnati Saturday the juvenile convention and the election and installation of the grand officers were held. Wm. Herbert Fields of St. Louis, Mo., was reelected national grand master; Ernest Patillo, national deputy grand master; Dr. Geo. M. Cathrell, national grand secretary-treasurer; Ozella Porteefield, assistant national grand secretary-treasurer; Mary J. Charleston, national grand mother queen; Virginia Allen, national grand left maid of honor; Lillian B. Smith, national grand accountant; John A. Shackleford, major general of the uniform rank; E. L.

MORRISON, SPECIAL MESSENGER FOR MAYOR WILLIAM E. DEVER, IS RESTING UP AT IDLEWILD, MICHIGAN Col. Charles E. Morrison, special messenger to Mayor William E. Dever, who is well known to all the politicians who frequent the City Hall, departed the first of the week for Idlewild, Michigan, where he will spend several weeks in resting up in his private summer home. So far Col. Morrison has failed to invite any of his Chicago friends to break bread with him and enjoy a glass of wine at his expense. MR. JULIUS ANISTER, PERSONAL SECRETARY TO ALDERMAN JOHN T O M A N, LOOKS AFTER THE POOR IN THE TWENTY-THIRD WARD Any poor and unfortunate people residing in any of the wards in this city have no better friend who takes a greater interest in their comfort and welfare than Mr. Julius Anister, of the new Twenty-third Ward, who is the personal secretary of Alderman Toman, who has a heart in him as big as an ox. Each and every winter when the coal bins among the poor and needy in the Twenty-third Ward become empty and when it is cold and freezing on the outside, Mr. Anister runs his hands down in his pockets and digs up enough money to buy coal and other necessities in the way of provision and so on for the poor and the needy in the Twenty-third Ward, and he is regarded as their best and truest friend. SOUTH CAROLINA FLOGGING OF NEGRO CAUSE OF NEW N. A. A. C. P. BRANCH Application for the formation of a new branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has come from Hardeeville, S. C., as the consequence of the flogging of a colored man by a crowd of whites in that section. The colored man, Joe Jackson, was taken from Hampton County and brought to Hardeeville, where he was lodged in the jail by the town marshal, without the authority of the county from which the colored man was taken, according to the report sent to the N. A. A. C. P. The colored man was placed in jail on Saturday night, and on Sunday he was taken out and severely beaten by a mob, "no one knowing the cause of his arrest." The letter reporting this occurrence concludes: "We as a race would like to be connected with this association (the N. A. A. C. P.) in order that brutal treatment to colored people might be stopped." The necessary literature has been sent to Hardeeville, and reports from there state that the organization of a branch of the N. A. A. C. P. is under way.

THIS WEEK Skeptics, Agnostics, Atheists, Infidels and Free Thinkers These are the "cuss" words of the Fundamentalists. They are the profanity of the brethren who believe that the Bible was originally written in English or French, or Zulu or Russian or in whatever language the user—of these words—happens to speak. The words are the flaming sword thrust at certain persons, by professional protectors of our morals, our souls and our jobs. Along with radical, Bolshevik and Anarchist, these are a few of the favorite words of Twin Six Patriots, Preachers, Security Leaguers, Coal Barons, Rotarians, white southerners with Negro mothers, Negroes with white fathers, people who can't read, those who can but who are too lazy and all those who get a volcanic eruption sensation in the head when they try to think. The above are also favorite expressions of the Safe and Sane, True and Tried who believe that Elijah made an ax-head swim from the bottom to the top of the river, who believe in the potency of Adam and Eve root, in the rod of a politician, or that there is a great lake of fire waiting the wicked just a few miles under the earth's surface. These are also the beloved expressions of certain school-trained imbeciles and morons who seem to feel that they must use them occasionally in order to hold their jobs, the good will of the powers that be or the reverence of the rabble. And, of course, they are the Open Sesame into the good graces of all the Klan minded, Shouters, Rollers, Saturday Evening Post enthusiasts, mill town mayors, Dry Bone Snorters and all the vast army of status quo, laissez faire drones who are strong for that branch of science known as Statics. These people don't know or refuse to believe that the progress of the world has been brought about by the Skeptics, Agnostics, Atheists, Radicals and Free Thinkers. Whoever heard of a Conservative or a Fundamentalist precipitating progress at anytime or anywhere? How could they when their look is always backward? The advance of civilization necessitates a push and a pull forward. The Fundamentalist simply sits by the brake and holds it down tight. He doesn't know why he does it. All that he knows is that Change and Light are poison to him. It was the heterodox who destroyed slavery in America and England. The Orthodox Fundamentalists wanted slavery to continue. Had it not been for the Non-Conformists, the earth would still be flat and the center of the universe. There would still be a Hell below and a Heaven somewhere in the clouds. Kings and autocracies would still be in style. The slaying of the female child, the worshipping of the wind and the sun, the suppression of women, the slaughtering of captives would still be the rule. It was not the Fundamentalists who followed Jesus to Nazareth, but it was they who crucified him. It was these same Fundamentalists who persecuted Galileo and Copernicus. It was the Fundamentalists, the Conservatives, who mobbed Garrison and murdered Lovejoy. It was the Con- [Name] Mr. SANDY W.

Bootlegging Labor 2. A Daniel Come to Judgment 3. Louisville At the Best From Naples, Italy, comes the word that the zealous police have invited another gang of clandestine emigration agents who have been engaged in the arduous task of sending "would be" United States immigrants over here, aided by cleverly-forged passports to Marseilles and Havre, from whence the new U. S. "subjects" have been embarking for the good old U. S. A, to compete in the production of Made-in-America goods, wares and merchandise. When it is considered that the bootlegging of labor across the Mexican border has become an industry which is rivalled only by the transportation of one-hundred-proof stuff, and that a number of Floridian and other industrial kings have been seeking to keep a good per cent of American labor, both black and white, idle, it can be seen that the full dinner pail of the American Negro workman is continuously the pendulum which swings back and forth between necessity and the unscrupulous practices of certain soulless American employers who, in sentiment, resemble these few American tourists who go abroad and try to smuggle back into America, in their stockings or coat linings, things which they should be happy to purchase in the United States. The American workman, both white and black, is the best paid, most privileged, happiest workman in the world; and if the labor bootlegging game, condoned as it must be, by certain unscrubulous employers, continues to thrive, the prestige, honor, and integrity of the American workman will still doubtless survive. But even so, pray tell us what is the ethical status of the American employer who continues to hire bootleg labor, while he fires American-born citizens who have as much right as the employer to the benefits and privileges accruing from American labor and production? What of the Floridian, who, while their Negro labor chafes and suffers, seek to supplant them with Porto Ricans and Bahamians? Have the former much claim to 100 per cent Americanism? As the good book says: "A good name is better than riches;" and we sadly beg to add that if the good name of American employers is to be preserved, the rank and file of the employer group must blacklist the black sheep among them, who, to save wage payrolls, are willing to defy the immigration laws beyond all conscience. These ghouls and rapists of American industry, of whom fortunately there are few, must be By the Cameraman warned that American-made laws are a kin to American-made goods. "There is a good deal of humbug about the Nordic Supereminency, and touching the Anglo-Saxon superiority, though many cling desperately to such a belief," responds the editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer to the mournful monologue of President Wanamaker of the American Cotton Association, who recently said: "It may be gravely questioned whether America is any longer in the fullest sense of the word, an Anglo-Saxon nation. Eliminate the pure strains of blood that still continue to flow in the veins of the South and West, and it certainly is not so. In the South the Anglo-Saxon continues dominant, but even here there are millions of men of color, who have no adequate conception of what true Anglo-Saxonism is." And regret there is where President Wanamaker spilled the beans, as the Cincinnati Enquirer thoughtfully admits. The millions of colored people in the South and elsewhere have no quarrel with those who would preserve the purity of Anglo-Saxon blood. And, quite contrary to the theory of President Wanamaker, they quite thoroughly understand the whims of the blood supremacy in the solid territory named by the cotton manufacturer. To them the Anglo-Saxon corpuscles speak in stirring terms of Jim Crowism, sought to be made applicable to every sphere of life traversed by America's black people. If this be supremacy, then God forbid its counterpart in any race. Rather be it true, as the Enquirer mildly implies to President Wanamaker, "that America of tomorrow will not be Anglo-Saxon, but it need be none the less a land of free people—of democracy, freedom and independence." To which we would gratefully add "amen"—for even as Lincoln said, a nation could not endure half slave and half free, neither can a country which is striving to merit the standards of true democracy endure while an element of its content is continuing to exact itself over another struggling element. "I am holier than thon" has no place in America—at least George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, General Grant and Theodore Roosevelt did not think so. And they were Anglo-Saxons, too. Louisville is really putting the Kentucky brethren way up high on the way up racial endeavor. Chicago, New York and Baltimore race men and race enterprises, before flapping their wings too loudly had best give Louisville the once-over for the Kentucky city is really seething with business and progress. Everything goes big in Louisville, from the most modest bootblack stand to the mammoth and tremendous life insurance companies. Of course, Louisville has prosperous race banks, in the American Mutual Savings Association, and the Standard Bank, but you'd never mark them as being any different from Andrew Mellon's or Murray's depositories, from the way they look and the way they are conducted. The Louisville merchants, businessmen and professionals of the race had a prosperous, self-satisfied appearance which served to bespeak success. Worthless men seemed to be few and far between. The presses and linotype machines up at "Bill" Warley's, editor of the Louisville News, were clicking off printing jobs, etc., while he had his news staff busy getting the "sheet" ready for his readers. The Kentucky Reporter and the Louisville Leader seemed to be equally busy. FRAT ITS HOU to the of the Courtesy and problems abounded up and down Walnut street, and the stranger within the gates was made thoroughly welcome. In all, Louisville presents a feature of race progress and thrift which could be profitably followed by many northern and eastern cities which frequently overestimate the virtues of such hard-hearted southern cities as Louisville, which quietly saw wood and mind their own business. Louisville is hitting on all sixes. DR. R. A. WILLIAMS AGAIN HEADS ROYAL CIRCLE OF FRIENDS Little Rock, Ark., Aug. 14—At the second day's session of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World in convention at the Bethel A.M.E. Church here, Dr. R. A. Williams was re-elected supreme president by acclamation. The re-election of the supreme president was followed by a banquet, closing the convention. Prior to the election of officers a splendid religious service was conducted by Rev. O. L. Moody, of Helena, chaplain of the order. WOMEN RECEIVE LEGACIES AFTER 8-YEAR SEARCH Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 14.—After a nation-wide search extending over a period of eight years, Mrs. Lizzie Harrison Potter and Mrs. Mamie Harrison Cox were said to receive a legacy held in trust for them since 1904. The Fletcher Savings and Trust Company, named guardian for them in 1904, following the death of their father, Collier Harrison, a Civil War veteran, was prepared to pay $1,190.58 to the women as a residue of pension moneys paid to the guardian by the government. It is said that the hunt was made necessary by lost identities. Following the death of Mr. Harrison in 1917, the mother, Mrs. Bulah Harrison went to Greenvile, N. C., and there married Joseph Harris. Mamie Harrison, the younger daughter, went with her mother to North Carolina and the elder daughter, Lizzie Harrison, had married and removed from Indiana. It developed after a long search that she had married William Potter in Philadelphia. Mamie Harrison married Ernest Cox in North Carolina in August, 1920. The trust company was unable to locate either of the daughters until recently, when it was discovered they were again living in Indianapolis. The Marion Probate Court ordered a final distribution of the money Thursday. Mrs. Lizzie Harrison Potter received $243.90 and Mrs. Mamie Harrison Cox was paid $946.68. RACE MAN UNABLE TO TELL GRAND JURY WHO STONED HOUSE (Preston News Service) New York City., Aug. 13.—The Richmond County grand jury met Thursday at St. George and examined 23 more witnesses in its investigation of vandalism against the home of Robert Browne, letter carrier, 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, L. I., who charges a concerted effort has been made by white neighbors to drive him out of his home and the neighborhood. None of the witnesses was able to throw any light on who stoned Browne's home July 17, smashing windows, destroying flower beds and breaking down fences and damaging the premises generally. The grand jury adjourned until Saturday at which time it planned to bring in report of its findings and recommendations. It was the opinion of those who frequent the court that John Doe indictments will be returned. Browne and his wife, who is a teacher in Public School No. 11, Dongan Hill, reasserted their intention to "stick it out" as a a "matter of principle," although they have been offered a substantial profit on the home they bought a little more than a year ago. It is said that whites do not want Negroes to invade that section and it is claimed that unless the Brownes are driven out of the section it will be invaded by many Negro families in the near future and the property values will consequently decrease. FRATERNAL ORDER OPENS ITS FORTY-SIXTH SESSION Houston, Tex., Aug. 14.—Delegates to the forty-sixth annual grand lodge of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and twenty-eighth grand session of the Household of Ruth, fraternity of Texas, were welcomed to Houston Monday night by Mayor Pro Tem H. A. Halverton, whose speech was warmly cheered by the thousand or more delegates that packed the auditorium of the Odd Fellows Temple, Louisiana street and Prairie avenue. T. W. Pratt, teacher in Dallas High (Booker T. Washington) school, responded to the official welcome with a lengthy address. Before going to Dallas, Pratt was a member of the faculty at Prairie View State College. The welcome on behalf of local Households was delivered by Mrs. G. C. Houston, who is district grand worthy recorder. Mrs. Julia Caldwell-Prazier of Dallas is the titular head of the Household. The response to the welcome was delivered by Mrs. R. T. McKinney of Sherman. Richard G. Lockett, teacher in Houston Colored High School, extended welcome for local lodges, to which J. J. Burnett, principal of Cleburne high school, responded. The gavels were presented to the district grand master and district most noble governor by Stanley Upchurch and Sylvia Fonsworth, respectively, Rev. A. Hubbard, pastor of Mount Corinth Baptist Church pronounced the invocation. Musical numbers were rendered by local Odd Fellows band, the choir of Wesley chapel, African Methodist Episcopal Church, the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, Constance Houston and Geraldine Foster. The first business session was held at the temple Tuesday morning and at the Coleridge-Taylor Choral Club, of which C. F. Richardson is president, and Mrs. P. O. Smith is directress, staged a song festival in the auditorium of the temple Tuesday night. The musical organization is said to possess some of the foremost singers and musicians of their race, and recently sang over the Post-Dispatch (KPRC) radio station. Memorial services were held at Trinity Methodist Episcopal Church, Travis and Bell, Wednesday evenings. Rev. S. W. Johnson, pastor of Boynton chapel, preached the sermon and the choir of Trinity furnished the musical numbers, assisted by other local talent. ARREST MEMPHIS DAMSEI FOLLOWING WILD AUTO DRIVE Memphis, Tenn., Aug. 14.—Miss Mary Young, aged 14 years, was held by the juvenile authorities following a wild drive Thursday morning in which she is said to have struck two men, injuring both of them slightly and ending the drive by smashing into a telephone pole on White street. The men were only slightly injured. She was arrested by deputy sheriffs at the home of Lester Williamson, 22 Brammel street, who is said to be the owner of the car. The girl was attempting to make a turn and lost control of the car, it jumping the curb and knocking the two men down. The drive ended when the car struck a telephone pole, witnesses told the officers. COLLECTOR NICHOLS AP- POINTS COLORED STE- NOGRAPHER (Columbian Press Bureau) Boston, Mass.—On recommendation of William C. Matthews, Malcolm E.

CHINESE STUDENTS PROTEST BRITISH OUTRAGES UPON THEIR PEOPLE The Chinese Students' Club of Colorado College, Colorado Springs, has sent to James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a statement placing the blame for recent disorders in China upon British police and asserting that unarmed Chinese students were massacred. The statement quotes from evidence showing that most of the Chinese shot were shot in the back; that no British police were wounded; that at least 70 Chinese were killed and 300 wounded and that the massacre occurred during a parade conducted by the students in protest against the arrest of fellow students by the British police for making speeches and distributing handbills. The statement includes a motion unanimously passed by the faculty of Tsing Hua College, Peking, including British and American professors, which is as follows: "Recently in Shanghai a number of Chinese students were shot and killed or wounded by the British police. We wish to voice our exreme indignation at this occurrence. For those who died and for the wounded we feel the deepest sorrow and we join in expressing our profound sympathy to the people throughout the nation, who protest against these atrocities."

SCARF COLLARS FEATURE OF RAYON KNITTED FROCKS ```markdown ``` Walnut Cultivation Commercial success in growing English walnut is found only in southern California. In the eastern states, so far as present data show, it may be said that the Persian walnut flourishes on all soils upon which the black walnut is found, and under favorable conditions on some others. Sandy loams, clay loams and gravely loams, if not too open, are suitable for the growth of this tree. Tramps Have Own Jargon Tramps Have Own Jargon It isn't every one who can hold intelligible conversation with a tramp, due to the fact that he has a language all his own. To a tramp a bed is a "doss," a "klip," or a "scratcher." His hat is his "cadie" and his shoes are his "dalsles." If he speaks of stealing he may refer to "half inch," "snaffle" or "win." To walk is to "hit the grit" or to "frog it." Failure and Success Failures interest me more, generally, than success. They seem to reveal human nature more truly, and, on the whole, more encouragingly, than anything else in the world. Success encourages the worst qualities in men; failure often brings out the best. Prayer is the fear, if not the voice, of failure—Laurence Housman. Popular Fruit The culture of alligator pears is a thriving industry in southern California and Florida. It takes from six to eight years for an avocado plant to bear fruit. The flavor depends upon the variety. The variety grown in the United States is very good and compares favorably in flavor with the imported fruit. Use for Old Newspapers A European inventor claims that ordinary newspapers folded together in a thick strip and held between wire clips will make a good substitute for the regulation leather razor strop. The ink on the paper is said to assist in putting a keen and non-pulling edge on the blade. SCARF COLLARS FE OF RAYON WELL may the world of fashion join in a vote of appreciation to Madam Mode for deciding to incorporate the scarf as a very part of the frock, rather than consider it as a mere accessory. Not only is it a charming idea, that of attaching the scarf to the dress to which it is related by virtue of being created of the same medium as the frock itself, but from the standpoint of service and comfort, it is proving a genuine joy. Especially does the scarf, which is a component part of its matching gown, find favor in the designing of the newest knitted costumes. Undoubtedly the attached combination scarf-collar adds greatly to the attractiveness of the handsome rayon knitted dress in the picture—not to mention the satisfaction of its protection when autumn breezes begin to assert themselves. The color scheme of this adorable knitted frock is canary yellow with white, and it does not require much power of imagination to sense the effectiveness of this white scarf with its yellow borderings, which so accommodatingly serves as convertible collar. How important a role is rayon playing in the progress of fashion! Surely the faithful silkworm has met with a powerful competitor in this new artificial silk industry. It is characteristic of the newer rayon knit frocks that they bear a distinguished appearance of conservative tailleur. This tendency to accent simplicity holds good only in regard to the styling of the costume. When the question of color is considered, then is all restraint abandoned. Just at the moment it is the jumper suit of Bible Tells of First Aid The Book of Ruth in the Old Testament contains what is probably the first advertisement on record authentically as such. After recording that Bonz went "up to the gate of the city and sat him down there"—the gate of the city being the center of business life—it is recorded that he said: "I thought to advertise the saying, 'Buy it before the inhabitants and before the elders of my people.'" Strange Bequests The bequest of his body to a hospital by a certain gentleman to help in the discovery of the origin of headaches, reminds us of the following strange bequests: A certain philosopher directed that his skeleton should be clothed, provided with a specially molded wax head, and presented to the medical section of a London university where it may still be seen. Powerful Quality Call it imagination, call it wonder, call it love, whatever it be that shows us the deeper significance of the world and humanity and makes the difference between the surface-light of sagacity and the interpenetrating glow of worship, we owe to it whatever highest truth, whatever trustless gudance we have.—James Martineau. Shakespeare of the Dutch Joost Van Der Vondel, the greatest name in Dutch literature, is called the Dutch Shakespeare. As a young man he kept a stocking shop, which he inherited from his father. His works fill 12 volumes. Men Differ Some men are never so proud as when they are in a parade. And other men never feel more foolish than when they are in a parade. - Atchison Globe. Furniture Polish Tip An excellent furniture polish is made of equal parts of linseed oil, turpentine and vinegar. -Selence Service. EATURE IN KNITTED FROCKS exaggerated simplicity as to silhouette and of super-color effect which holds the center of interest among knitted outerwear fashions. Pink, orange scarlet, and bright green, also lovely pastel shades are the chosen shades, not forgetting the supreme importance of all-white. Often the sleek, glossy silkiness of the rayon is offset with trimmings of sheered wool, and this is particularly effective in the construction of the white knitted costume. Again the dress with long coat to match gains its point of effectiveness through an interknitting of fine wool with the rayon in fanciful stitch. Procks of summer weight are charmingly knit, also entirely of rayon in a lacy drop stitch pattern such as is used in the developing of the mode illustrated. JULIA BOTTOMLEY.
