URGENT NEED FOR A FEW POLICE WOMEN Have the women who successfully passed the required examinations given up the fight for appointment on the Chicago police force? Every day sees greater need for several shrew Afro-American women to check vice and crime in places that-male officers. Then the approach of the holiday season crowds in stores and places of amusement would give these minions of the law plenty to do. Keep up the fight. We hope the ladies have not given up the fight to get on the police force. Keep on fighting for place.

Pope-Turnbo Malone, Founder and Owner; Prof. A. E. Malone, Power of Attorney. VOL. IX, NO. 48. It was pleasing to the members of the race to see the ministers of the white race take a stand against President Wilson on race segregation at its regular meeting Monday. They expressed the thought of the right thinking people of the country. The ministers took the stand that segregation practiced is wrong in principle because it is unfair to abuse one class of public employees, who have as much right as the others. They regarded it as unChristian, unpatriotic and unAmerican. The resolution was submitted to the meeting by the committee on public policy and was passed unanimously. The resolution on the race question read: "Whereas, we believe class or race discrimination tends to produce discord, jealousies and bitterness; and "Whereas, the national government should promote harmony and peace and inspire the greatest loyalty of each member of the body politic without discrimination against non preference for any race or class." ```markdown ``` "Whereas, in every call for the nation's defense, the colored soldier has responded promptly and most courageously, that the Metropolitan resolved that the Metropolitan preachers' meeting of Chicago hereby express its profound regrets that Mr. Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, has indorsed the separation of the races in the government employ at Washington, D. C. We regard the handicaps that the Nation has suffered as sufficiently embarrassing without the influence of the nation's President being recorded."

Friends of Mrs. Ella Flugg Young, superintendent of schools, have been praising her this week in the daily newspapers for the many improvements she has made since she has been in office. Enumerated they embrace a long list benefiting both teachers and pupils, many of them being in the forms.

SOUTHERN WHITE MAN PLEADS FOR RACE Joseph C. Manning of Alabama Tells Race to Aid National Independent Equal Rights League. (Special to the Chicago Defender) New York, Nov. 27.—Rev. Byron Gunner, president of the National Independent Equal Rights league, has given out the following letter for publication: Crawford House, Boston, Mass., Nov. 21, 1914. Rev. Byron Gunner, President National Independent Equal Rights League, Hillburn, N. Y. Dear Rev. Gunner: If ever before there was needed any demonstration of the effectiveness of an organization of, for and by colored people, in their own behalf, this has been shown by the league you have the honor to head as president. Your organization has been successful and forced the issue and has provoked who would be free must first strike the blow." Surely now that the fighting ability of your league is shown, there will be a disposition on the part of all colored people to turn their support to it as the means to the end of the achievement of their rights. I hope that every possible support will be given to the end that the league and Trotters and an man will be backed up for that continued achievement which the recent events show you can bring to pass. Mr. Manning is well known in Chicago, having addressed large audiences upon the injustice of race prejudice. Chicago Defender readers and others are urged to contribute to the support of the league in its fight for justice. If money were as easy to make as it is to spend what a delightful world this would be to live in, but unfortunately this condition does not exist. Many of us, however, do not realize it money is when late. The time to save money is when you are invariably there will come that promised rainy day when you will be in dire need of it. Chicagoans have learned the lesson well, as is evidenced by the great number of homes owned by them, and yet it is all practically of recent origin. Fifteen or years ago the colored people owned a house in the city, but today we number them by the hundreds, and all of this came about through the easy system of payments, and yet it is to be wondered why so many continue to pay high rentals when this money can be applied on a home. It is much better to take time by the forelock and start working. The firm of Fred's h. Bartlett & Co. have a plan whereby you can make your rent money buy you a home.

Shreveport, La., Nov. 27—In a courtroom in the Federal building a railroad detective was testifying and referred to one of the defendants in the case and called him a Negro. Judge Alex Boarman of the federal court interrupted and had him to understand that he was not to use the word Negro that the culprit was an American citizen. The defendant was charged with interstate freight theft. S. A. T. WATKINS HAS CASE IN UNITED STATES APPELLATE COURT Attorney S. A. T.

DAVID ITCHOCH "BLACK RABBI" IS AN IMPOSTER DAVID ITCHOCH "BLACK RABBI" IS AN IMPOSTER Talented Young Man, Speaking (Many Languages, Claiming to Be a Jew, Fools Newspapers, Rabbis and Influential People of That Race. TELLS TRUTH IN COURT. Clever Adventurer, Accused by 14-Year-Old Girl of a Serious Charge, Reveals Origin—is Plain, Everyday Son of the South. Frederick Douglass Berger, who spoke fluently twenty-two languages, and posed as "Prof. David Ickhock," will serve a term in the penitentiary for criminal insult on Clara Merriwether, 14 years old, 4059 South Federal street. The girl has a child which resembles the imposter. In the summer of 1913 he came to the Defender office, and in good faith we wrote a story about him. The reporter asked for his passports, but he said they were in his trunks, which were delayed. He left from his haunts—232 and Dearborn—and nothing was heard of him until his criminality upon the young girl. He was clever with his knowledge of foreign languages and successfully fooled Mr. Julius Rosenwald and many of the Jewish faith. Learned Languages in Mines. "I learned the languages working in the coal mines in Iowa," said Berger. "I worked with foreigners, studying and learning their speech, idioms, ways and actions." I studied the customs of foreign land and peoples in both the United States and all came to me like music. I read in the Chicago papers about the Black Hand bombs in 1901 and came to Chicago to try to get a job on the detective force. I wanted to get at the bottom of the Black Hand feuds. I learned to speak Italian, Spanish and French with that in view. I was refused a job because I am black. "So I gave that up and for the last few years I went to Jews on the West Side. I wanted to learn Hebrew. I wanted to find a girl for a wife, one that was dark, and could teach me Hebrew. I found her in the Merrywether girl, but I was too hasty. Not Born in Palestine. "My parents were not born in Palestine, as I said. They were born in the South and moved to Buxton, Ia. Their names are John Thomas Berger, and Mrs. Susan Berger, and they live at 1822 Elm street in Des Moines. At one time I was sent to the reform school at Eldora, Ia. My stories about the school are not known. And the parents are false. For a time I was associated with Rabbi Horace, born in the South, who has an Afro-American congregation and worships in the Jewish faith, although he does not know the Hebrew language." Berger was arrested last year and his case dragged from one court to another. He was convicted of Judge McDonald, who suspected the man was an impostor, and had his stories investigated, Berger's confession followed. It is to be regretted he was not given the detective force, as it might have been better to him out of trouble. He is a lesson to young men who live on their wits and have no moral stamina. While in the penitentiary he hopes, however, to enter three more languages, then he will to the head of the class as a linguist. According to a Chicago daily newspaper the U. S. government is planning to capture Champion Jack Johnson if he tries to fight Jess Willard in Juarez, or if he tries to pull off a fight in Cuba. Previous experience has taught the friends of the champion not to worry about him, and the talk about his not being in condition to fight has been heard before. REV. W. S. BRADDEN PREACHES TO BOY SCOUTS Chaplain of 8th Regiment I. N. G. Speaker at Literary Meeting—News and Gossip Among the Scouts. Capt. William S. Bradden, chaplain of the 8th Regiment, I. N. G., made an excellent oration Sunday, Nov. 22d, at Bethel church to the Chicago Guards, and Boy Scouts, assembled to take part in the Bethel's Literary society's program, at which the honorable sheriff of Cook county, Michael Zimmer, was present, and also delivered an able address.

The following changes have been made in the personnel of the general staff of the Chicago Guards and the United States Boy Scouts. Major W. H. Fields as chief organizer has been dismissed, and the vacancy is to be filled by the general manager J. Warfield, a member of the 8th regiment.

SATURDAY SOUTH IN SADDLE WITHMOREPOWER AFTER MARCH 4 Responsibility, for House Action to Rest on Its Shoulders—A Glimpse into Things Along Political Lines — Future of Democratic Party in Balance CONTROL HURTS RACE. Southern States, with Democrats from Oklahoma and Missouri, Will Control Actual Majority at Next Session — Also Strongly Represented in Cabinet and Senate. (Special to the Chicago Defender. Washington, D. C., Nov. 27—Responsibility for legislation in the house during the concluding two years of the present administration will fall directly upon the South. It is common comment that the South is in the sad dilemma of becoming more clearly true after March 14 with the reduction of the Democratic membership of the house. At present Democrats from twelve southern states represent one-third of the Democratic strength in the house. After March 4 next these twelve states, with the Democratic members from Oklahoma and Missouri, will constitute an actual majority of the Democratic strength in the house. Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia have 103 members in the house, all of whom, excepting three Republicans, are Democrats. Strong in Cabinet and Senate. This group, with the strong southern representation in the cabinet and the senate, has been powerful enough largely to dominate the house committees and to control up to a certain point legislation in the house. A large degree of responsibility for the record of the past two years is theirs, but after March 4 the responsibility will increase to a marked extent. Thereafter the South will have the power of an actual majority, with aid from Columbia and Missouri, as well as the politician in the incident to the cohesion of a large group of members and their sensibility. This southern control of the lower branch of congress is viewed with alarm by race leaders and friends of the race. The several vital issues pending before the United States supreme court, the reawakened antipathy in some sections of the South over the Trotter incident causes many to consider the increased Democratic Lieutenant B. O. Davis of the Ninth United States Cavalry, which is doing such efficient and heroic guard duty along the Mexican border, is visiting Chicago this week. The gallant solider S. R. Gwynen, 343rd Division-brother-in-law, S. R. Gwynen, 343rd Division-brother-in-law, Lieutenant Davis was the first man to attain that position from the ranks. NINTH CAVALRYMAN BETHEL CHURCH'S NEW PARSONAGE Progressive A. M. E. Congregation Defenders' Advice and Reduces Running Expenses by the Acquisition of Home for Pastor. The announcement that Rev. T. A. Snayt, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, will move into the recently purposed Monday or Tuesday will be hailed with much in church circles. Long ago the Chicago Defender called attention to the need of more progressive business methods in the churches and the acquisition of a permanent home for its pastor by this progressive congregation, made up in the main by hard-working people is a step in the right direction. The enormous running expenses have always been a burden to the city churches and their shelters is welcomed by their ardent supporters. Bethel's progressive ideas should be emulated by every other church in Chicago. JEERS AT MENTION OF WILSON DENIED Promoters of Mass Meeting Following Segregation Protest Issue Statement Dining Published Reports. (Special to the Chicago Defender) Washington, D.

"Sir: Having read in a morning paper published in this city that the gathering yesterday at Seco- one, and that the mention of the President's name brought forth jeers and hisses from the audience, the officers in charge of the meeting wish to state that there was not a word uttered from the audience in derision of the Presi- den; no hissing nor jeering. It was, indeed, properly gathering. Had there been the least thing said disrespectful of the Presi- den, we, in charge of the meeting, would not have tolerated it for a moment. The party offending would have been ejected from the church at once. Thomas Walker, chairman of meeting; W. Bishop Johnson, pastor, Second Baptist Mt. Murice W. Spencer, E. M. Mifflin-Jett. Protest Segregation. A resolution protecting against segregation was given the form of a statement to the American people at the meeting. The speakers were W. M.

SOMEBODY LIED ON SECRETARY OF TREASURY McADOO Committee Protesting Against Segregation Names President's Son-in-Law Chief Offender, Bearing Out Chicago Defender's Prediction. WHO'S THE FALSIFIER? Extract from Old Issue as Gentle Reminder That The Chicago Defender Has a Right to Say, "I Told You So." As far back as October, 1913, The Chicago Defender foretold the racehating proclivities of Mr. McAdoo (white), Secretary of the Treasury and son-in-law to the President. Readers of The Defender will recall our severe denunciation of J. C. Napter, then Register of the Treasury, who attempted to uphold the actions of his superior, Mr. McAdoo, and President Wilson's other cabinet officials. Lest They Forget. Lest some would forget, we reprint an extract from a letter from Mr. Napier and published in the issue of Saturday, November 13, 1913: "I desire further to say that I think that you are entirely in error in your attitude of the attitude of the Honorable, Secretary of State, Mr. McAdoo, in regard to the colony people. In conference with this gentleman he has repeatedly stated to me in the most respectful and considerate terms that it was his earre"sire it do the very best he co-operates with the people of his wah under any" "summarizes to do anything that would humiliate or depress them." --- In its last issue The Chicago Defender published the following; teacher published the following: The delegation charged that Secretary Adeo and Comptroller Williams in the U.S. court overstaff General Burleson had endorsedigation rules in their offices. The President replied that he had investigated the question and had been assured there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings given to the Afro-American workers. He added he had been informed by officiating the segregation had been started to occur on the races and not with the object of Injuring the Afro-American employees. ```markdown ``` The Chicago Defender is again proven right. It is not the idea of the paper to gloat over a serious matter like this, but the occasion is opportunistic. The Defender right for equal rights the Defender generally knows what it is talking about.

Majors Hurls Thunderbolt at President Wilson for His Segregation Policy and for His Treatment of Editor Troter and His Colleagues. MORE PRESS COMMENTS. The New York World, the New York Evening Post, Lexington Herald and Other Fair-Minded Newspapers Publish Fine Editorials. The Chicago Defender's story of the Wilson-Trotter incident, the publication of Editor Trotter's speech in full, together with his picture and the cartoon depicting the kind of "President," was praised everywhere. From every part of the country came demands for the issues and compliments for the complete presentation of the matter. Shir- An-Assuring Shir- An-Assuring still fills the minds of all just-love-leaving people. Dr. M. A. Majors, Chicago's noted editor and writer, writes the following broadside into the camp of the "Indignant" President: Hot Shot from Dr. Majors. Hot Spot from UP 'Majors'. Imagine, if you may, an Afro-American gentleman talking back to the President of the United States! And yet, was there not some cause that set free this much amoured issue? Has not the President of the United States the power to make the ugly injustices he caused of the ugly injustices he caused of people merely because the South, through its political agents, wishes to fashionalize its prejudices and perpetrate its ugly humors against its citizens, whose only crime is having the echecute of American life, emblazoned upon every imprint of religious hypocrisy except the Bible, that Afro-Americans must forever suffer without consideration, human or devilish, must in the wake of righteous justice be held accountable to civilization that will be appalling. Whose concern is it that Afro-Americans must forever keep their mouths shut and suffer the contemptuous hindrance that they face through the proper forms and in the most accredited system of the most advanced civilization they should appeal to the President of the United States, who is the court of last resort, be perceived at the full statement of an aggrieved race, expressed by one of their own representatives? "Wilson the President of white, black, gray and grizzly men and women, of whatever race Great Nature chose to make them? How is it that the President of the Labor Associations, Jew, Irish, German, and God only knows who else, can go to the White House, storm the national citadel for that matter, with The suffragists took Washington some time ago. The women stormed the White House. They charged the President with mistreatment and with oppression and antagonism to human, civil and political rights because he did not slobber over with superhuman apportion to their chilims. He did not incite them to violence, but that they were "mass" and that they should not be heard respectfully, in spite of their frenzied and cantankerous utterances. They bridged, oh, ye gods, the educated Aro-American, speaking with the voice of the advanced couriers of civilization, with a mouthpiece from the classic halls of Harvard College. They denied the abilities only forbidden from the black man's tongue! Prejudice, the holocaust to a race of twelve millions of citizens, who have no voice in Congress. They were a Sappson betrayed into the hands of wicked Winthesia, paying taxes upon over a billion dollars in a country that gives cognizance to the human orgy of truth-distorted infamy and that Aro-Americans are unable to mitigate. What Does the President Want? What in heaven's name does President Wilson want us to submit to now? He asks us to be the office he hereof held by members of the race and given them to white men. He has sent white consuls to black republics, and now we must have no speech to give utterance to our sufferings, and our complaints are condemned to the gage of pitiful mutterance and insult. He pain and no heart to feel the sting of white man cruelty. Oh! Justice, the virgin nature of righteousness and truth, hast been slain by Tillman, Vardaman and Dixon? If life still be in the, and the righteousness, unhealth thy sword and guard the human race, for hypocrisy has sat in the high places of earth, and the condemnation of bights falls heavily upon the hapless shoulders of a woe-striken people, guiltless of a thousand crimes that the highway of white man greatness. The Afro-American can only in the most accepted and civil manner approach the head of a great nation and in his distress pour out in saddened eloquence the futil horrors of a peacetime war, and the usages. it is not possible that our President should give an ear of sympathy and become impressed with some soul-stirred utterance, the platy and the horror of honest portraitral of outrages that we most keenly feel (of course the man does not feel the need to be a gentleman) it is but another method of ugly blackguardism for any refined and cultured gentleman, no matter what colossal place he fills, to emphasize to us that he knows of the existence of a prejudice that he, above and beyond, has to deal with, mind and strength to break down instead of insisting that it is a reality. The Pity of It. But here is the pity of it all: the heads of departments, the members of Mr. Wilson's official family who are complained of, the whole matter is disregarded. Mr. Wilson says that a classic orator from Harvard College is insulting to him. This is M. Wilson is the chairman of politics, which is to get him sympathy, while he is to set aside the cause of a race of people as being untenable and ill-presented. He was among thousands of Afro-American,amanatists over the actions of the Republican party, followed Mr. Wilson into his bewildering maze of academic dreams. They thought they had found a new Lincoln who had been a great political deception. But lo! what do they find? As much as it is regarded as fortunate for President Wilson, the recent election has impressed him the thousands of Negroes of the South and the East who voted for him have gone back to the party of Taft, McKinley and Sherman. This may in part be some reason for the unmistakable interpretation of "the hand of God that was writing on the wall." Among the strong官员 pertaining to the incident we reprint the following New York World, November 13, 1914. No Jim-Crow Government. "No President ever suffered more than the five institutions of members of his caliph than has Mr. Wilson. He had a further illustration of it yesterdays with a delegation of Negroes who called at the White House to protest against the segregation of races in government departments. The man of the delegation, however deplorable, are no justification of the policy of Jim-Crow government on the cabinet, the members of the cabinet have established departments; and, as the President well knows, insolent conduct is not confined to the members of "The President should have foreseen this unfortunate issue when Mr. McAdoo and Mr. Burleson were carrying their color-line equipment. Mr. Wilson told the committee that there had been no discrimination in the comforts and surroundings of the Negro clerks, and formed by officials that the segregation had been started to avoid friction between the races, and not with the object of injuring the Negro clerks to explain, nevertheless, why such rule had been considered necessary until Mr. Burleson and Mr. McAdoo got into the cabinet. "For nearly half a century white workers worked side by side in the departments of Washington under Republican and under Democratic Presidents. The World keeps it in the dark about the Washington affairs, but the first it ever heard of this alleged friction to which Mr. Wilson refers was when Mr. McAdoo began his meetings in the Treasury Department. "The President thinks that this is not a political question, but he is wrong. Anything that is unjust, discriminating and un-Americant in the government is certain to be a political issue of the United States government are servants of the United States government, regardless of race or color. For several years a mayor of New York has served the internal Revenue in New York. He never found it necessary to segregate the white employees of his department to prevent 'friction'; yet he would have had quite as much power to segregate the Negro employees of the Treasury in Washington. "While the Democrats of the country have been trying to solve certain great problems of government, a few southern members of the party have been exploiting their petty local prejudice at the expense of the party's reputation for exact justice. "Whether the President thinks so or not, the segregation rule was promulgated as a deliberate disruption against Negro employees. "Worse still, it is a small, mean, petty discrimination, and Mr. Wilson ought to have set his heel upon this presumptions Jim Crow government established. He ought to set his heel upon it now. It is a re approach to his administration and to the great political principles which he represents." Encouraged forcible were editors' appearing in the Lexington Herald, the New York Evening Post and other fair-minded newspapers, while the lamentations of the daily papers in Akhama, Mississippi and Georgia take up space that could be put to better News of the Churches THE INSTITUTIONAL CHURCH.

CHURCH As obedient and grateful children to a kind and loving parent, do the members of St. John raise their voices in Thanksgiving and praise unto AL-Abdullah, the "The Lord has done it." In the gardens and loving kindness bestowed upon them during the past year, they can truthfully say from the depths of their hearts, "The Lord has done it." And they gladly give it. If there is one thing above another for which St. John is thankful it is that in the midst of prosperity they did not fall back in an Israeli militant mannequin for the God who led them to victory over every opposition. And now they stand as firm soldiers of Christ, strong in the strength which He supplies. With armor on, for fixed battle, they ready for any conflict that might arise. If you enjoy good music and seminars that stir the soul, come here where spiritual food is plentiful and where rich provision whenever you need. To the stranger, sick and weary and longing for friends, happiness and peace, we invite you also to come and meet at a church to visit her in this place.

Although Acquited in Court, Founds that Monet's People Still Look Upon Him Wit Suspicion and He Clears Name. IS VINDICATED HERE. Pathetic Case of Virginian, Who Lost Wife and Fortune When Failsely Accused of Taking Life-A Detective Makes a Terrible Mistake. This is the story of Henry H. Bell, formerly of Petersburg, V., but now of Montreal, Canada, where he went some years ago. Being intelligent and energetic, he and Dame Fortune went hand in hand. His business prospered and he was happily married. Life to him was a serene life one day a girl came to see him for murder thought that he saw a likeness to him in Mr. Bell, and he was arrested and charged with the crime. Stigma of Charge Remains. This was in January, 1912. The man wanted to be charged with the murder of Bentress De Hart of Chicago. The detective M. H. H. Mr. Henry H. Bell, formerly of Petersburg, Bur, vay, but now of Montreal, Canada, vindicated of murder charge resulting from mistaken identity. Mr. Henry H. Bell, formerly of Petersburg, M. r., now of Montreal, Canada, vindicated of murder charge resulting from mistaken identity, identified Mr. Bell as Estes. He was subsequently placed on trial, and the detective altered his decision in court to deny the acquittal, he was charged that the defendant with $1,000. He returned to his home and business, but the public still looked at him with suspicion. The stigma remained because of the charge. His wife left him and his business dwindled. He knew that he had been convicted and he deceived the stage-complete vindication, and he came to Chicago. Police Find Him Innocent. He arrived in Chicago early last week and promptly took up the matter with the authorities and entirely cleared himself. He was the victim of mistaken identity. A sister and friend of his were killed by him. First Deputy Superintendent of Police Schuetter, who investigated the matter, said: "I am positive that this man is innocent." The odum of the charge, resulting in the distress of the Montreal people even after the Montreal has greatest worry, he told a Chicago Defender reporter. Former friends are jubilant over his complete vindication in the matter and sympathize with him in the loss of his wife and for Mrs. Ed Wright may leave for the coast in January.

"What Can the Negro Merchant Do to Stimulate and Help the Farm at this Time?" was asked by the Treasurer of Tuskegee Institute which he urged the business men to help the farmers. Mr. B. T. Washington, Jr., spoke of how the business men might help build school houses by saying: "As a race develops intellectually its wants increase, its modes of living change, its desires to be citizens are greater and the business men could well afford to give their means to the poor." These changes." The same subject was discussed by Professor J. R. E. Lee, director of the academic department of Tuskegee Institute.

"Mother" Hudlin, as she was affectionately called and by which applation she will be long remembered and honored in Chicago and far and wide, was a human landmark, blossoming during the years of greater growth and development of this great city. Covering the span that measures its evolution from a mere widewave "big i" to a more intricate, intricate possibilities, to its present imminent station, "the wonder metropolis of the world," she and her husband, one in heart and hand, their pathway lighted by a devotion that never wavered, and a journey that went way towards the goal that beckoned, and beyond and above to those heights where after "life's fidelity" the good in Christ do rest and find repose.

By Charles H. Williams (Physical Director Hampion Institute). Hampton, Va., Nov. 27.—Of the football fans who saw the Hampton-Lincoln game which was played on Hampton's gridiron Monday, November 16, all agree that it was the finest exhibition of the new game ever seen in this section. Both teams entered the game confident of victory, as neither had been defeated this season. Every variety of football play was exhibited—the line-plunging game for a while, then the short and long forward passes, the various line shifts and interceptions, the alert, and only one successful pass was made, which was a beautiful one, from Wheaton to Patterson for about twenty yards. The Hampton second-down was very good, catching every forward pass by the Lincoln team except one. Both teams had strong lines and held when necessary, except in the last quarter when Hampton put up a three-run game, but the ball on Lincoln's three-dard line. On the next play the ball was carried across Lincoln's goal line by Flynt, and Winston, Lincoln's captain, contended for the ball, but complete as the Halpton man was not Mother Hudlin Lincoln Leaves Field. tardays away sitting in spacious grounds, garnished by pretty shades and blooming shrubs, was the meaoc of Chicago's social and religious world. She the best teacher and most brilliant sons and daughters were wont to gather on weekends and Sabbath days in that home of hospitality and clean spiritual atmosphere. Always it was a welcome haven to the children's heart and mind. In those days not to know the Hudun home, when before the invasion of the ruthlessness of commerce and business it sat like a jewel in the midst of green verdure, and old-fashioned clothes and clothes, a vision of mirth and joy, and the pleasure of a "Looker on in Vienna." During the years that have hown since the passing on of her husband, were in the "Hall of Collebrates" on board of trade, "Mother" Hudun had lived, save for the activities incident to her philanthropic impulses, a quiet, unostentatious life, revered by her children, and in every way within their world, the days were made pleasant and restful. Honored and loved by all classes and from every angle of Chicago's cos- opolitan people, her closing days are filled with laughter, still waters, the singing of birds and an arch of purple skies, as, indeed, why should they not have been? Always—she was born with it— she was born with it— fetering and sorrow of unfortunate men and women has throbbed within her breast, but beyond that, and for many years, her life has been one long story of unbelievable activities and good works. Wherever and whenever suffering and sorrow, the burdens of old age, its friendlessness, its helplessness, its helplessness, brought to her attention her response was immediate and her efforts knew not tiring. Once started upon the mission of the Good Samaritan those who were in need of help, she no doubt be no doubt—the Father knew her will tell you that nothing dawnted or turned her from the good she had done, and that she was single-eyed, uncompromising in the pursuit of aid and relief for the maimed in spirit, the hurt, the weak and suffering in body was an attribute of her life, an unmistakable token of superiorhood: of a guide and leader. But what more need he said? For if every noble impulse that during her life with us filled the heart of "Mother" Hudul a melody could be chanted, the universe would thrill with her love. For if by her hand, now to us so white and still, could be reproduced in a flower, our every step here in this great city, from whence she has passed and gone, from where would, would be flanked by banks of roses. As the devoted wife, the Christian citizen, the mother of boys and girls, of men and women, she was a fine, beautiful woman.

No race of people can rise higher than their women. Since they are in high schools, a higher atmosphere has come over them.

Referee B. B. Church of Livingstone College had been ruling all through the game that the play ended where the ball was stopped. The ball stopped, as that was in accordance with the football rules. Lincoln then left the field and the game went to Hampton by the score of 1 to 0 in the first half. Hampton had been not the visitors left the field. Hampton had a slight advantage throughout the game, as the ball was in Lincoln's territory three quarters of the way into the game was Hampton's goal in demand. **First Play Ever Seen.** The team has played five of play was the finest ever seen here but was marred by the usponstman like conduct on the part of the Lincoln team. The decision giving Hampton was unanimous on the part of the team.

The figures applying to bakeries serve to show the progress that has been made toward securing materially improved conditions during years 1907 to 1914. For example, in 1907 there were 51 bakeries in 1947 that were lightly damaged because located on the street level. On October 1 of the present year there were 187 cellar bakeries, 1,434 of the daylight type, an increase of nearly 93 per cent. The subjoined table tells the story: The United States public health service, appointed in March of last year to investigate the Friedmann cure for consumption, has completed its work and submitted its report, which will be published shortly in pamphlet form. Briefly the conclusions of the board are: "The claim of Dr. F. F. Friedmann to have originated a specific cure for tuberculosis is not established by our investigation." The claim of Dr. F. F. Friedmann that the inoculation of persons and animals with his organism is without harmful possibilities is disproved." The fight against tuberculosis is still not for forget to purchase your Red Cross seals for your Christmas packages. THE WOMAN WHO KNOWS What society expects of her realizes that she must have a good complexion if she wants to be a favorite. You can easily have a good COMPLEXION by following a few simple directions. Before you can wash your hands with soap and warm water, rinse in cold water, and after drying apply a thin layer of Savola. Allow to remain on over night. In a few weeks' time the skin will become so soft that the result, as Savola gradually absorbs the wouten cuticle, leaving the skin soft, bright and beautiful. For years the public has wanted a toilet cream of this kind, and now the public has had to surrender to fill our wants, we should not neglect our complexion any longer. Savola is the result of years of study and thought, and the manufacturers have worked in their efforts to solve this beauty problem. However, they are only charging fifty cents for a one-cure jar of this wonderful preparation, and there is enough in one jar for several weeks' use. You can also use "adv." in another part of this issue.

LIBERIA SUFFERS WANT THROUGH EUROPEAN STRIFE Eloise Bibb Thompson Tells of Past Achievement and Present Needs of Black Republic—War Cuts off Supplies. APPEALS TO U. S. FOR AID. Commission Sent to Investigate Conditions—Emmett T. Scott, Secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Represented Race on Trip. By Eloise Bibb Thompson Los Angeles, Cal., Nov. 27—Liberia, the black republic, cut off from supplies and revenue by the European war, its population placed on restrictive terms, is appealing to the United States for help in the form of provisions. Liberians are almost wholly dependent upon English and German ships for all food supplies, which have failed for years. They have been fighting conflict. Liberia's commercial relations with the people of the United States cover a period of forty-eight years. During this time it has been affirmed that Liberia has purchased from this country more than one million chandise, and has sold to us commodities valued at more than a million and a half dollars. A few years ago, at the request of Liberia, the United States government sent three commissioners to report to upon boundary disputes between Liberia and Great Britain and France, to thoroughly inquire into the nature of the disputes then existing between Liberia and suggestions for adjustment and improvement. Personnel of Commission The commissioners sent were Roland P. Palmer of the United States senate's immigration committee; Dr. John D. McCormick, director for the American Baptist Home Mission Society, and Emmett J. Scott, secretary Tuckey Institute, the only Afro-American member, who took the commissioners to the original originally appointed. Mr. Washington yielded to the request of President Taft to remain in this country during his term. He was also invited to the invitation, that he might confer with him upon matters relating to the Afro-American people. The report submitted by this commission proves that Mr. Taft was a representative rendering service of a high order and fully realizing the expectations of his friends, who saw in this opportunity a service of service for the Afro-American. Mr. Scott was born in Houston, Texas, about forty-one years ago, where he attended the public schools, afterward graduating from Wiley University. He was a long-time honors. Beginning work as a joiner of the Houston Daily Post building, through his efficiency and devotion to duty he was later given an opportunity to do clerical work. A promotion to office work followed some years later, and in 1981 he combined with the three years he retired with the conference and good will of the management, to engage in the publication of the Texas Freeman, which was continued until he was called to Tuskegee in 1897. Helps to Organize Business Men. In his book, "Tuskegee and Its People. Dr. Washington has said the following: 'Tuskegee Institute owes to Mr. Scott; "For many years Mr. Scott has served the school with rare fidelity and zeal, and has been to the principal and vice principal, and the phase of his manifold and frequently trying duties, but has proved a wise counselor in all of the most delicate matters, and exhibiting in emergencies the courage and calmness rarely found in men of ripeness or more extended experience." One of the founders of the National Noo Business League, acting as its corresponding secretary, nearly all the time since its organization, Mr. Scott has been one of the most influential factors of the league in its history. He has returned to this country from the republic of Liberia was hailed with great joy by Tuskegee, who was well aware that he "counted no sacrifice too great to him," and the "welfare" of that noted institution. Liberia Losing Ground. According to recent authority, the activity and production of the people of Liberia, notwithstanding the excellent work done by the United States commissioners, are greatly different from the authority: "As a republic she either needs an infusion of new blood or the establishment of institutions like Hampton and Tuskegee, where the people can be taught the science of medicine and learn the mechanical trades—from which will imbibe a knowledge that will open to their vision the inexhaustible, natural resources of their country and make of them producers for the markets of the world." From the way that the African has so easily absorbed the modern methods of fighting, so much so that he is considered a wonder in European military circles, it will be no difficult matter for him to be taught the culture and the mechanical training.

CHEER AND HELP CHICAGO'S POOR ON CHRISTMAS DAY This Is the Time the Good Fellow and the Good Woman and Club Worker Should Come Forward to Show Their Interest in the Poor and Unfortunate Little Folks. Join the Chicago Defender and Help Create a Spirit of Charity—Help the Wildows, Orphans and Poor-Ministers' Preach It—Clubs, Practice It—Make Xmas Happy for the Little Folks. By Cary B. Lewis. Another year has rolled around and Christmas is upon us, or right next door. Last year THE CHICAGO DEFENDER started a campaign to help the poor, the widows and orphans. It aimed to create a spirit of charity for the needy of the race. Last year THE DEFENDER remembered to remember the sick at Providence the girls at the Phyllis Wheatley Home, the ladies at the Old Folks' Home, those at the Soldiers' Rest, and this was done with a spirit that brought forth blessings from the recipients. There is more happiness in giving than receiving, and above the Christmas carol should ring the altruistic gift enunciated by the Master: "It is more blessed to give than to receive." The Children of Plenty. Thousands of children in this city will spend a merry Christmas day and will awake on Xmas morning to see their trees loaded with toys, shoes, stockings, sleighs, coats, dresses and many other valuable gifts to make them happy. Not only are their parents able to do for them, but friends and family will also take these little folks and further increase the gift by gifts from at home and abroad. What of the Poor? What of the poor? Just a few blocks away there will be a family who will not know of Santa Claus—whose parents, by misfortune, are poor. They have a widowed mother and several mouths to feed, coal and fuel to buy. They will not have a Christmas tree, not even a piece of candy or turkey or mince pie. The question is, will you not join THE DEFENDER in helping a spirit in the bosom of every good man? Or will you help obliterate members to help the unfortunate this day of days? Can you forget the warning of the Master: "Except you become as a child, you shall no wise enter the kingdom of heaven?" The Defender's Appeal THE DEFENDER appeals to the citizens of Chicago to be more generous to the poor children this year than they were last year. When you make your Xmas purchases remember some poor relative or less fortunate Miss Lela Stubbs, a graduate nurse of Provident hospital and a well-known social worker, will work in conjunction with THE DEFENDER and will be prepared to furnish names and addresses of those in need for those who feel disposed to help. Money or clothes of any kind will be received at THE DEFENDER office or Provident hospital, the headquarters of Miss Stubbs. Let the Clubs Help. Every week THE DEFENDER will publish these names of the clubs or individuals who will be a GOOD FELLOW between now and the holidays. This paper, which publishes weekly free of charge items of interest of the social clubs, calls upon them to help. At your next meeting won't the following club members enrich themselves in spirit and receive the real benefits that comes from being charitable. In addition, Twenty, Autumn Leaf, Book Lovers, Rosary Social, Ideal Women's Bethel Literary, Standard Literary, Appomattox, Billiken Whist, Fred Douglass Center, Philomathen, Progressive Negro League, Eureka Art, Saturday Afternoon, Sigma Beta, Tuskegee Colonial, University, Wars, and Means, Poinsettia, Men's Civic, Negro Fellowships, Volunteers, and others who do not report to the club column?

A lively campaign is waging in the second ward in the interest of Attorney Louis B. Anderson, and it is making tremendous strides daily. While his opponent, Oscar De Priest is interesting himself with persons who pretend to be able to carry the Afro-American vote in their vest pocket, Mr. Anderson is going among the people and they are rallying to his cause with a mighty swing. Between receptions and banquets given by Mr. De Priest to the selected few, he has been busy enlisting to enlist the so-called "high brow" group that has 3,700 pledges, from all parts of the country. The appointment of Afro-American precinct committeemen under the new law are appointed by ward committeemen have been held up by Congressman Madden as a club to force them Attorney Louis B. Anderson, the People's Choice for alderman of the Second Ward. to get in line for De Priest. It is safe to say that after these appointments are made the real expression of the committee will be made. Some do not insist to say they will be for Mr. Anderson. It is expected the situation will be clarified and all elec- tions and factions will be for Mr. Anderson. Many of the women of the east and west end of the ward are rallying to the support of Mr. Anderson, as they favor an honorable, upright and courageous race man to represent them in the aldermanic chambers, one who will acquit himself with dignity and credit, both to himself and the race he represents. They are working like men, and have already inaugurated a movement in the organization of "Block Clubs" in the interest of his candidacy. Women, join the clubs, he is in the fight to win; give him your moral support. SECURE YOUR CHRIST- MAS GIFTS NOW The cut above is that of Mr. E. R.

Walton, Foremost Dramatic Ciiten: Foremost high honors. Not being contented with tho learning he had already acquired, he continuel to increase it and to thor- oughly equip himself with more know!- edge, that he might better prepare himself for the greater battles of life by {aking a course at one of the lead- ing business colleges of the Mound ‘City, from which institution he gradu- ated again with honor and credit. Having the diplomas of two well estab- shed schools carefully laid away in his home, he went forth into the world In search of a vocation to test his ability, with the hope that his intellee- ‘tual efforts might be rewarded with success. After vainly applying for sovéral nosit{ons of trust and respons!- bility that were denied him more én account of his color than the Inck of ability, Mr. Walton, undaunted by dis- couragement, pursued the course of nis own convictions, believing that while there is life there is hope. His efforts were as herole at the end as at the beginning, while under disappoint. ‘ment his courage never wavered. His heart was filled with a determination to live or die, sink or swim, survive or perish. Like a boy who has dreamed a dream but cannot prevail upon men to accept it in all of its glorious sym- metry, he camo to despair of the con- sequences to a world containing so much obstruction and so many fools. After drifting about upon the sea of ‘time, but still hopeful, he eventually floated into journalism. Having been thoroughly tried in this field of liter. ature as to his fitness for such duties, Mr. Walton was appointed to the posi- tion of reporter upon a daily evening paper, which office he filled with credit. And be it said right here that Laster A. Walton has the honor and distinction of being the first and only Afro-American ever engaged as ro porter upon a daily paper in the city of St. Louis. Many of the articles that were read and enjoyed by the readers of the St. Louis Evening Star camo from the pen of that little Afro-Ameri- can Journalist who had not quite at- tained the age of manhood. After eerving his employer faith- fully upon the staff as reporter he sev- ered his connection with the paper to como to New York with Mr. Ernest Hogan, who was then starring in his own company. Mr. Walton, though, having but a small idea of-theatricals, saw the possibilities of a larger field In which to labor and apply his know!- edge. Ho believed that with the aid and assistance of Mr. Hogan, whose | reputation as a performer was second to none, the door of opportunity might open unto him. He refused for once to harken to the pleadings of his be- loved parents, who implored him not to leave tho land of his birth to go forth Inté the world upon his own re- sources so young and inexperienced. Ho closed his ears to tho appeals of lifelong friends who begged him to cancet the thought of leaving them, But all efforts were in vain, ‘There was nothing to thwart his intention of going to New York. His many dreams af the great metropolis with its bright ights and gay white way must come rue, His visions of the greatest city in America must be realized. So, like caesar, he came, he saw, he. con- qwered. But he paid dearly for it by xperience and hardship because the esson that he learned brought out tho very best that was in him, It showed ils true character when put to the est., While Mr. Walton was no per- ormer, oftentimes he would take a ninor part in, the play or get into the horus to thoroughly acquaint himselt vith the work and to broaden his ex- rience. The second year that ho vas with the Hogan aggregation he sas. the personal ropresentative of he great comedian. When an incur- ble malady seized, the unbleached \meriean and’ -his caso. was pro- jounced hopeless, tho company closed or gool and Lester Walton was left Imost a stranger in New-York city, jut_ not hopelessly discouraged, It wis a timo that tried. his ‘soul. iter vainly searching for a position bell boy in one of the leading hotels. He filled the position with much credit to hls employer. But his ambition was so prevalent that ke coutemned the grovelling condition of a bellboy or the like to which hfs*fortune had con- demned him. He would have wilingly risked his life, though not his charac- ter, to exalt bis station, His youthful appearance may have excluded him from any hopes of immediate prefor- ment, but he hoped to preface the way for futurity. Just about that time Mr. Fred Moore of Brooklyn bought the New York Age and Mr. Walton cast his Jot with him with great success. But his suecess didn’t stop there. It was felt that 9, young man with “co great a talent and such progressive: hess deserved all the chances xiven him in the world, so he was prevailed upon to interest himselt into another project, which he did with equal suc- cess, ‘Wheh tho Lafayette theatre was built on Soventh avenue, one of the finest thoroughfares in upper New ‘York city, the promoters of that play- house never considered the Afro- American population sufictently large enough to support it and therefore colonized them and limited their seat- ing capacity. When the classes to which they liad catered for their sup- port had failed to respond, and the ‘expenses wore consuming the receipts the house changed management. After having undergone this pro- cedure several times with the same Asastrous result, the house seemed Aoomed to complete failure until Mr. Walton, with his theatrical experience gained ‘while with the Hogan com Dany, was asked.to take the manage ment at a rental of $25,000 per year. Tt would seem extremely discouraging fn the face of so many fallures to as sume such a great responsibility, but failure was not in his category of bus iness pursuits, Defeat only spurred him on to grander and nobler efforts Throughout Ils whole life his para mount motive was to get things done ‘but not to make himself a great fame by doing things. His partner, Mr Morganthay, a Hebrew by birth and ‘well equipped with an abundance of theatrical knowledge and experience wisely and justly left the entire man agement to the care of Mr. Walton ‘a rare occurrence where such odd busi ness relation exis{s for a young Afro American man, to hold the predomt nant power for his policy to be mould ed by a fresh and eager mind an¢ executed by the vigor of a spirit no yot tamed to an immoderate reverenes for obstacles. ‘The Lafayette is not race theatre, but the greater percen tago of attendance consists chiefly 0 Afro-American colored people, ‘Th Aecorum is on par with that of the | very best theatres in the city, and the white patrons, realizing the fact, ar inereasing thelr patronage : nightly Mr. Walton has employed Afro-Amor fean help to fil all of the position: about the theatro, from the box ote to tho porter. His weekly pay rol reaches well into three figures o large denominations. The perform ances consist of six vaudeville acts 0 high class and merit. Usually. ther are equal numbers of white and blac! acts, ‘The motion pictures are th | best and very instructive. On Tues @ay and Saturday nights the countr; store draws enormously large crowds Wednesday nights for amateur tryout. and Friday nights something new i for amateur society dances. ‘Thre: prizes for this contest amounting $10 are given to the three bes Gancers. Mr. Walton Is always on th: alert to introduce some new and nove feature to surprise and interest hi patrons. ‘That is why the Lafayott theatre has been so successfill unde his management, Such great respon sibilities for a young man with great er prospects of a failure than of suc cess should be somewhat discourag ing, but St has only served to Increas his courage for larger undertakings Ho is a man of good character and : ood character cannot be mado in Gay...

NEVER THINK OF PERILS. Quartette of Brave Men Do Bulk of Rescue Work, Are Denied Credit in Published Reports—First Publication of Race's Park in Mine Horror. By Albert M. Dunham Dewmaine, Ill., Nov. 21.—Chicago Defender readers are no doubt familiar with the details of the recent mine disaster at Royalton, in the extreme southern part of the state, that resulted in the loss of a large number of lives and the destitution of many women and children by the loss of their husbands and fathers. They have the heroic work of the rescuing partisans, and the read of the Afro-American part in it. For some unknown reason, just as it has been in numerous cases of things worth while, the great daily news papers failed to mention the part the race took in this terrible disaster. First Men to Heach Injured The nine are out of the nine men who put on the uniform down into the plt, 300 feet below the surface, risking their own lives, four were black men, members of the highly trained and ever-ready rescue team maintained at Dowmine. These four brave Afro-Americans were among the first to enter the mine after the first to be rescued. The first to bring out a half dead miner. These men worked unceasingly from 7:30 a.m. m. until 4 a.m. the next morning, doing the most dangerous part of the rescue work around a mine, for it was these four men who went into the different entries amid fallen timber, digging into the white rescue parties waiting to take them to the ton. Handle or Help Every Man. An estimate of the yeoman service rendered by these men can be gained from the statement that every one of the fifty-seven men whose lives were lost, as well as the large number who were killed, was or had been some way by this quartet of brave men. Royalston, as some know, is a large camp, inhabited by over 600 men, but an Afro-American is not allowed in or near the place except in the time of trouble. Although the heroic work of these men was not mentioned in the newspapers, their names will stand throughout the annals of time as a credit to the entire race, and will ring through this scene. The men who were mined. They are Joseph Bell, Daniel Holly, Edgar Russell and Sylvester Hooper. The Two Doctors. The race also had another representative on hand who was simply idolized while he was working. This was Dr. A. W. Springs, who worked hard among the suffering for almost twenty-four hours without even stopping to eat. Dr. Springs is the only physician of color in Williams county, and is a man of whom the entire race should be proud. He is able assisted by his wife, who is also a skilled physician and garçon. Besides giving their attention to a large practice, they are doing a great work along all lines which tend to promote pride and brotherly love among the Afro-Americans in this section. (Continued from page 1.) power as a menace to many cherished hopes of the Afro-American people. Many Democrats Frankly Afraid. In view of some of the legislative projects which the South insisted upon but obtained only in part during the last two years, the domination of the house majority by this group has aroused a degree of anxiety among Democrats who are looking ahead to the election. Similarly, they are frankly afraid that the party will run into a blind alley unless southern influence can in some way be restrained. The large river and harbor appropriation bill, the proposal for the purchase of $500,000,000 worth of cotton by the government, the proposed segregation of Aldrich-Vreeland notes for the benefit of the South, and the demand that the 10 per cent tax on currency issues by state banks be repaid are examples of the legislation by southern representatives who are now causing anxious speculation regarding their course in the near future when they will come into control of the house by actual numbers. Statistics of Slight and Hearing Statistics of Sight and Hearing. Blindness is more common in men than in women, the proportion, according to the last census returns, being one in every 1,316 males and one in every 1,424 females. As regards deafness, however, the position is reversed. Daily Thought. It is not work that kills man; it is worry. Work is healthy; you could hardly put more upon a man than he can be hurt. Worry is rust upon the earth; not the revolution that destroys machinery; it is the friction—Beecher. Morbidia Queen Wife Men are seldom as wicked as they would have women believe. As little boys are ashamed of their virtues and proud of their naughty deeds, so do men endeavor to hide good qualities and advertise the bad ones. One View of Foreign Travel. I sometimes think it is a pity that people travel in foreign countries; it narrows their minds so much—Chess terton.

How the officers and crew of the American revenue cutter Tahoma, which sank late in September after hitting an uncharted ice in the frozen Aleutian islands, fought for life for five days in open boats in a heavy sea, escaped a school of six whales and finally survived with no food except parrot soup, is recounted in letters received by friends of the party at Washington. All the 85 survivors, including the offers and crew of the Tahoma and a part of natives who were aboard when the ship was sunk, went almost inscribable hardships before they were picked up by the steamship Cordova. As soon as the officers found that the cutter could not be saved all those on board set out in six open boats. They remained close by the Tahona until she sank, 24 hours after hitting the reef. Then they started out to try to find land. Five of the boats succeeded in reaching the island of Agathe one of the Aleutian island. The other sea unit rescued. So crowded were the members of the party in the open boats that they could not sit down or sleep. The feet of every one was frozen or swollen frightfully after the five days at sea. The boat commanded by First Lieut. T. M. Malloy of the revenue cutter service attracted a school of whales. The whales started to follow the boat at night when they saw the lights. One of the whales—there were six—got so close that it touched the boat. Lieutenant Malloy, fearful that the whales would attack the boat, gave strife that no one should shoot. The whales appeared to be playful and made no effort to harm the occupants. Because of the crowded conditions and the heavy sea little food could be taken into the small boats. On the day before they sighted the rafts that had to be cut down to one sausage, one cracker and one cupful of water for each person. At last the occupants of Lieutenant M.M. Boat and another, which had remained unsealed, sighted land—Agatu island. After a hard pull they made a successful landing, and with saits that were carried by the small boats, rigged up a shelter. The seamen shot two wild geese and four sea parrots, which they made into soup in a big kettle and ate with a few water-skeaked crackers. All of the survivors set to work gathering driftwood for a huge fire to send up a signal of black smoke to attack them, that might come to the rescue in response to S." calls of the Tahoma immediately after the accident. The Cordova arrived on the second day. WHITE MINISTERS (Continued from Page 1.) tist Church Literacy passed a resolution praising Editor Trotter for daring to tell the President of the Afro-American's discrimination. Last Sunday Rev. E. J. Fisher was present and after a long harangue on Trotter, said he went to Washington, D. C., in the interest of the race, but no resolution of thanks were passed thanking him. "As the preacher, so the 1920 Attorney James G. Cotter, congregation, so the church" so the resolution was tabled. Just before this, Attorney James G. Cotter was called upon by President Terrell to say a word. In a calm, dignified manner, the brilliant harrier begged to differ with the learned divine. He be no petty feeling over the matter; he too big for that; that every Afro-American in the country should take the broad and liberal view and commend Editor Trotter for earnestly and courageously defending the race before the chief magistrate against sagittary insults, he was requested to return again, at which time the question will be reviewed. The Ways of a Man Nothing please a man better than to be misunderstood by someone so that he can tell you about it. He may talk about his future, his prospects, his family, or his business, but when he speaks of himself he is in earnest.

NOT APPROVED BY SCIENCE Exhibition of "Bold Words" Sir Ray Lankester, who has been a diligent student of teopathy, now arrives at the conclusion that the conclusion that the brain waves," of which the teophasis "brain waves," of which the foundation in science. According to him, nothing of the existence of such waves and are absolutely devoid of the means of establishing them. The chief difficulty lies in the fact that those who seem to believe in them most implicate themselves so much as hazard a guess as to the material in which they occur. The physicist who teaches the existence of light waves affirms at the beginning that they are waves of the other. In holding to sound waves he explains that they are waves of the atmosphere. To say that sound and light waves are at the same time to be unable to detect of which waves consist would be to leave sound and light unexplained; and Sir Ray holds that a like inference is to be drawn from the brain-wave explanation of telepathy. But granting the existence of such waves he proceeds to ask by what means he can detect no answer. As far as present day science goes there is no detector in the brain by which they may be received, and no mechanism to transform them into sensible form. Neither is there a code between man and man whereby the thoughts conveyed are made intelligible as the Morse alphabet transforms the dots and dashes of the telegraph key into words. The possibility of telepathy is not denied. The noted scientist simply takes the ground that at the present stage of knowledge, if brains do communicate with each other immediately and over long distances, it is by some other method than that of the supposed "brain waves." Eugene Field's Varied Care career Eugene Field, a lawyer and post, was born (date not exactly authenticated in some biographies) November 7, 1850, at Amherst, Mass. His father was a lawyer of some distinction and was one of the counsel in the famous Dred Scott slave case. His mother died when he was a child and was a cousin. At the age of eighteen he entered Williams college, but, his father dying soon after, his guardian placed him in Knox college at Galesburg, Ill., and later he went to the University of Missouri. In 1871 he entered law for a few months in Europe, and he was a reporter, manager and editor for newspapers in St. Louis, Kansas City and Denver. Later he was for years on the staff of the Chicago Evening News, until his death in 1895. He wrote volumes of heart-appealing stories and widely copied. He was possessed of a notable library in which there were many rare and costly volumes. Deer Copped Cabbage. A herd of deer celebrated the close of the gunning season by invading the garden of Postmaster A. C. Stewart at Weymouth, N. J., and eating his winter supply of cabbage. Several gunning parties have been encamped within a hundred yards of the spot the week and a dozen deer have been killed. Immediately wieldy, the deer came to within fifty feet of where two stag hounds were tothered to their kennels and the barking of the dogs aroused the postmaster and his son, who saw the herd scampering away in the moonlight. Sportsmen here say that the season just closed has been the best in many years. The heavy foliage remaining on the trees gave the deer more shelter than they would have been reported bagged within a ten-mile radius of Weymouth. This was a proportion of about one to every twenty gunners. Root's Concentrative Ability Root's Concentrative Ability. Senator Root has great power of concentration. He would have made a more competent companion. No matter how much shot and shell might be flying about him, he could sit and jot down what is in his mind without paying any attention to anything else. One day he was going through some papers that contained information he was sitting out. The matter was one that called for much quiet thought and discussion. A caller arrived at the outer office. A clerk went in to the Senator and told him: "Mr. Soandso's here for an 11 o'clock appointment. It is now three minutes of 11." "Right. Show him in at 11," directed Mr. Root. And during those three minutes he become just as much engrossed in the task before him as if there were nothing else in sight. Market for Apples and Prun The people of Norway usually depend on the Norwegian apple crop and the Servian prune crop for the greater part of their winter fruit supply. During the present season the apple crop in Norway is very light, being practically a failure; Servia, being at war, is not as productive. These conditions furnish an opportunity for American exporters of fruits to find a large market this season in Norway for dried, and green apples and prunes, says Consul General Michael J. Hendrick, Christiana. While American fruits, both green and dried, are largely sold in Norway, the majority of the fruits from the United States, wholesale dealers in Hamburg, Germany, through local agents, furnishing the supply. Asking the Impossible "We'll be glad to handle your account," said the receiving toller, "If you will promise to keep not less than $100, you will be good gracious." exclaimed Mr. Hallroomer, "I merely wanted to put the fruit of my self-menial in a safe place until I could find something suitable." I had to have no desire to be a capitalist." Found Ring In City Dump A small, boy when delving in one of the city dumps at Bangor, Me, recently found a napkin ring of silver. The name of M. C. Pierce was engraved upon it. Twenty-five years ago he plucked the burglaries, who took about one thousand dollars' worth of valuables, the ring being among them. ¥ Urcle Pennywise Saya: I ain't got-much legal lore, but I don't believe I smirk and grin if I wuz on trial for murder. ¥ Had altogether Too Much Self-Respect to Apply to Anyone Else While Old Neighbor Had Things to Lend. No one could truthfully deny that most of the small farmers of Dilmouth were adicted to borrowing—farming tools chiefly—although as occasion arose they would borrow anything to get utmost cheerfulness. The burden fell upon Galeh Peaslea, a thrifty farmer who kept every necessary tool, and who tried to keep them in condition for use. The advent of a new farmer, a well-to-do man who brought with him almost every known appliance for filling the ground, seemed to open an avenue of escape from the troubles. "Mobbe some of these have taken toll'm that man Barney that taken the ol' Staples place for a spell," he confided to his son. "I hope so—I do so. My seedtime and harvest has come in between the times when other folks was a usin' my farmin' tools and about to get them in 'moin' to see if I can't turn some of his emway, and get a little rest." Caleb made his first attempt at "turning them" when Jake Meader, his nearest neighbor and an inveterate borrower, came for the wheel hoe, which lay in the tool shed with one wheel. Jake went to the shed and examined the hee, and then returned to the grind-stone, where Caleb and his son were grinding scythes. Jake's face were a dissatisfied expression. "Ain't you goin' into Bangor some time this afternoon, Caleb?" he inquired, anxiously. Mr. Pearce drew his burrow along the scythe, testing the edge. "I'd know but meb I shall," he returned, noncommittally. "Why?" "Why!" returned Jake, in aggrieved surprise. "On account of that wheel he--that's why. Here it's been laying right there in that shed for four-five days with the wheel broke, and the weeds getin' higher in my beets every afternoon and see if it can be afternoon and see if it can be thinned out a little--and here I find that you ain't got it fixed yet!" Caleb regarded the borrower with a fine irony, tempered by an exasperated amusement. "See here, Hake," he said at length, "I want you to be in shape and why don't you go up the road a prow and try Barney. He's got everything you need in the way of tools—mebbe you can get jest what you want there, and get it when you want it. I'd really ruthen you'd try him a spell. Jake turned to Caleb a face full of wounded dignity. "You have a man's live right alongside of another man for years, and not know him, after all." he burst out, earnestly. "I want you to know, Caleb Peasele, that I don't none of your to whittle-minded folks! Them that wants to can borrow of Barney, but I don't goin' to. I started in borrowin' you when I first come here, and I'm gonna win him" of you as long as you've got anything to lend!" -Youth's Companion. Travel a Century Ago Under date of November 10, 1803, it was announced in some of the newspapers: West and East, that a line of mail stations would soon be established to run between Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, probably to be started the following June. The fact was, however, that the line would be dedicated to regular trips on the natal day of the republic, July 4, 1804, and it is of record as the beginning of a new chapter in the history of Pittsburgh that the first stage, with its four fine horses and a goodly load of mail and passengers, left Ferrere's tavern in Pittsburgh, and proceeded to whips, thus initiating the grand feature of a bi-weekly stage, the distance between cities being about 300 miles, 120 of them through a continuous chain of mountains, all to be traversed in six days. The legislature of that year adopted a resolution to establish a tee to ascertain the most available route for a turnipke between the two cities. Radium Market Closed The European war has, for the present at least, totally closed the European market to American radium ores. As is well known, the uranium ores of Colorado and Utah are sold exclusively for their radiation content, so little use being known for the uranium that the ores cannot be sold for their content of that element. The condition of the European market leaves the uranium in the hands of the war lasts, and probably for some time afterward, the market will be restricted and without the benefit of competition. As has been pointed out by Secretary of the Interior Lane, had the bills introduced in congress been passed the United States government would probably have been in the market as a buyer, and the miner might now have a chance to sell his ore. Togoland Cotton Germans are not, as a rule, successful colonists, but Togoland has always been a kind of toy to the German merchant since its annexation just 20 years ago. The great achievement in the colony has been the infilation of a cotton trade, and nothing has been shared to foster the industry. Most of the cotton was exported before it was decided that the native seed would produce a staple equal to average American; model centers of instruction, model farms were set up, and a great effort was made to induce negro farmers from the southern states of America to settle there. Chemical manure was supplied free from German sources, and cotton from the Togoland cotton have been held at Dusseldorf and elsewhere. That Famous Barrel.

DANCING SCHOOL DANGERS HISTANDING THE FACT that man upon tripping the light fantastic eith est majority of people see no harm in it it is liable to lead to. Of course, har nocent sort of amusement if one so do NOT WITHSTANDING THE FACT that many of our worthy divines frown upon tripping the light fantastic either in public or private, the vast majority of people see no harm in the dance itself but only what it is liable to lead to. Of course, harm can be made of the most innocent sort of amusement if one so desires. It is left entirely with the individual. The playing of cards often leads to gambling, a social glass of wine in the home may have been the first downward step of the drunkard. These things are not uncommon, they are everyday occurrences, and yet it is only the narrow minded who wish to abolish everything that evil can come from. The man or woman who is good because they have not been tempted deserves no especial credit. Adam could not have eaten the apple had he not seen it and been in a position to get it. To have temptation all about you and then resist shows true worth, shows backbone. It is so much easier to do wrong than right, is a common expression, but an untrue one. As winter approaches indoor amusements become more popular and placards, advertisements and circular letters more invite you to join this or that dancing class. There is no privacy, anyone who has the required admission fee is welcome. So it can readily be seen the cosmopolitan crowds that attend these functions. For a young lady unaccompanied to frequent a public dance hall means sooner or later she will become common, meeting as she does men of every type who in the dance embrace her and take other conventional liberties that even a close friend would be denied in her own home. Mothers and fathers should have a care how they permit their daughters to take this first step downward. Dancing under proper environments is a pleasant innocent amusement that the young should not be deprived of. But these so-called schools with but few exceptions, are merely public dances given for the purpose of making money. One school in Chicago, however, places a high value upon decorum and issues no return checks. Once you enter, you must remain until the close or pay another admission fee. It is a step in the right direction but there is considerable food for thought in the matter of dancing schools. GROWING UP WITH THE COUNTRY. THE PROPOSITION TO GO WEST and grow up with the country seems to have met favor with at least two million of our people, for in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas they have under their coffees, as owners and renters, about $300,000,000 worth of farm property and own 60,000 farms containing 6,000,000 acres of land with farm property, live stock and farming implements worth $200,000,000, a record that would be hard for any other race of people to duplicate in the same length of time. There is an independence about farm life that is not enjoyed by any other class of workers. True the work at times is hard and taxes the strength and energy but when harvest time is over ample rewards are made for the seeming drudgery. And with it all comes something far more to be desired than wealth—health. For there is nothing so conducive to longevity as plenty of pure fresh air, regular habits and plain wholesome well cooked food. It is such a mistake for young men and women to think the bright lights of a city mean joy and happiness. Too often they mean just the reverse, pain and sorrow, and yet it is but one in a hundred that will listen to and heed advice and suggestion. Experience is a dear teacher and it is strange how many are willing to pay the price. It is not advisable for us all to be farmers any more than it is for us all to be doctors, lawyers or clergymen, but those who have no trade or profession and live from hand to mouth, so to speak; would find it far more to their advantage in every respect to be a tiller of the soil. Farmers complain that they cannot get helpers to harvest the crops even though good wages are paid, this too, in the face of the fact that the cities are swamped with idle men. There is little excuse for the man who wants work being out of a job, the trouble with a great majority is they are looking for snaps, and snaps are usually given to men already in on the ground floor. A mighty good plan to follow is to take whatever position you are offered if it is honorable. Make good in it and it will prove a stepping stone for something better. HAS GOVERNOR BLEASE SEEN THE LIGHT. GOVERNOR COLE BLEASE IS NOTHING IF NOT VERSATILE to the question, "Why did you pardon one thousand Afro-Americans from your penitentiary?" He replied: "I pardoned them because they often fail to get justice at the white man's court house. I am for justice for the Negro, although strenuously opposing social equality. Many are sent to the penitentiary merely because they do not have influential friends to keep them out. Rich offenders get lenency and mercy in the courts." In Governor Please we find a human enigma, one that is never fully solved. Just when the right answer seems at hand a new complication arises and a start all over must be made. There are few things in the category of injustice, that have not been worked out and on the Afro-American residing in the state that he is supposed to present as head. This wholesale pardon war is "justice"—perhaps there is a different definition for the wrd justice than Webster gives. What of the lynchings, Jim crow laws, mob rule and the like? Can a sane man justify these things? The unpopular governor has ridden into fame and fortune for the last time on the back of the unfortunate Afro-American; the people of his own state have sealed his doom; later fate, but better late than never. If among these thousand prisoners pardoned there were some who were punished unjustly, some who were innocent, we are glad they were set free, regardless of the motive that prompted the pardoner's action. On the other hand we are just as anxious that the criminal class among us be punished as other races are that their criminal class receive their just deserts. The country has long since known the peculiar way South Carolina has of delivering justice but this is the first time that its chief executive has formally made the indictment. We haven't heard officially whether Governor Please has religion or is sick unto death, but we do know something is decidedly wrong somewhere. Let us pray. GET TOGETHER IT IS TIMELY to warn the people, encouraging petitions of numerous men, the spring primaries. The first and only one to a race man to the council from the war by the many Richmonds entering the full sense of their own importance or advice the common good for personal favor learning is a dangerous thing and again seeking politicians always have some reason to be for any candidacy they may be of their own selfish desires. Let us not represent us in the council next to it be a case of the office seeking the candidates in the field no one man can nomination. Undoubtedly, white poli-courage a number of our candidates to success, hoping thereby in the division of our being upon some white candidate, to make candidate doubly sure. We are suffer through the fact that a Democratic act the principles and policies to make success. This very condition was brought public ranks when the Bull Moose moved from the Republican party until the Democrat. Nothing can happen of more severity than to be represented by a very man and this can only be accomplished by party affiliations. Shall we lose AGAIN IT IS TIMELY to warn the people of the Second ward against encouraging petitions of numerous candidates for aldermen at the spring primaries. The first and only excellent opportunity to elect a race man to the council from the ward seems about to be foiled by the many Richmonds entering the field, misguided by a conceited sense of their own importance or advised by friends who sacrifice the common good for personal favor. With us too often a little learning is a dangerous thing and again let us warn you that self seeking politicians always have some far fetched and fetish reason to be for any candidacy they may espouse to hide the ugliness of their own selfish desires. Let us have a good business man to represent us in the council next spring and for heaven sake let it be a case of the office seeking the man. With a number of candidates in the field no one man can secure enough votes for a nomination. Undoubtedly white politicians would advise and encourage a number of our candidates to make the run at the primaries, hoping thereby in the division of our forces, while they are agreeing upon some white candidate, to make the nomination of their candidate doubly sure. We are suffering hard times today largely through the fact that a Democratic administration is ignorant of the principles and policies to make government and business a success. This very condition was brought about by the split in the Republic ranks when the Bull Moose movement drew so many votes from the Republican party until the Democratic minority came in power. Nothing can happen of more benefit to our people in the city than to be represented by a very capable man in the council, and this can only be accomplished by a united effort regardless of party affiliations. Shall we lose this golden opportunity? DEMOCRACY VS. DEMOCRACY CAPS NO INCIDENT IN A DECADED more light upon the status quo of the Wilson-Trotter controversy.

PERHAPS NO INCIDENT IN A DECADE has happened which sheds more light upon the status quo of the colored man in America than the Wilson-Trotter controversy. Undoubtedly the President's position expresses the entire Democratic administration's attitude toward us and is not surprising in view of what Democracy has always stood for in relation to the Afro-American. Democracy as a principle and Democracy as a party are two separate and distinct things. Democracy as a principle as defined by the "un-abridged" Government by the people; a form of government in which the supreme power is lodged in the hands of the people collectively or in which the people exercise the power of legislation. The principles as promulgated today by the Democratic party fall far short of these broad planks, but we should not be cast down or hopeless at any event. We have been making tremendous strides all along in the face of the same conditions and incidents should only spur us on to help each other to promote our own institutions and to labor for the general welfare of our people here. Certainly it is hard to feel the instincts of patriotism throbbing in our hearts and to know in our minds that liberty and justice are only abstract terms in the vocabulary of our nation's chief. Pity the soul so warped by prejudice from the ways of truth and righteousness until hypocrisy cats as a canker at the vitals of his being. To mention Abraham Lincoln in this connection is a far cry from the present exponent of national policy. Is it still true that a house divided against itself cannot stand? THE LEO FRANK CASE AGAIN.

FRANK, under sentence of death in Atlanta, Ga., for the murder of Mary Phagan, has been carried to the Supreme court. Whether that body will sit in action upon it remains to be seen. Should Justice Lamar, who is assigned to the circuit in which Georgia is located, grant the writ the case would go on the court's docket and would not be he heard for two years unless advanced. In the meantime, in all probability, they will skirmish around and try to find some Afro-American to fasten the blame on as they did before. Some of the detectives in this case who tried to perform this feat know to their sorrow what the effort cost them, so likely they will not be so officious in the coming hearing. It seems a difficult matter to punish a criminal who has means or friends with long purses. If Frank had neither we would have heard little of the case. That he has received justice is the universal opinion and if the Supreme court decides different it will be a surprise to many. PROSPERITY ON THE WAY.

The money market especially around this section, is getting easier and loans can now be negotiated for 6 per cent when but a few weeks ago one could not get money at any price. This change in affairs is due to a great extent to the opening of the new Federal Reserve Bank which released more than twenty million from the reserves of the local banks and the simultaneous lowering of the interest rates on both time and demand loans marked the turning point. While we have no large factories or mills of our own, we share by our labor in the general prosperity of the section in which we reside and when the larger businesses prosper the smaller one is bound to get its share. Prosperity cannot come too soon to suit the most of us. UNCENSORED WAR NEWS.

After keeping Mrs. C e District of Columbia Woman's Lea ouse for two days, President Wilson OWING TO THE FACT THAT THE NEW ARMORY IS NOT COMPLETED it will be impossible for the 8th Regiment to join the Allies, the Germans or move on Mexico, but their attack upon TURKEY last Thursday was a brilliant success, both right and left wings and the breastworks fell to their repeated onslaught. Surgeons White and Lewis have been working day and night to repair the damage Turkey inflicted upon our brave boys. The next sorties will occur December 25th. AND NOW THE SUFFRAGISTS are barred from paying our Chief Executive a visit. After keeping Mrs. George Armes, president of the District of Columbia Woman's League, waiting at the White House for two days, President Wilson sent out word that he could not see a delegation of suffragists. Can it be they have a spokeswoman who is objectionable too? THE WHITE METHODIST MINISTERS' ALLIANCE unanimously vote a severe condemnation of President Wilson's stand in favor of race segregation in the government service. They imented the fact that the Afro-American race had already too much to suffer from prejudice in this country without its chief executive taking such a pernicious stand in the matter. President Wilson may take high rank as an educator but as a christian gentleman he fails to measure up to ordinary standards. ONE DOESN'T NEED TO GO TO WAR to be classed as brave. What about the twenty-five people who were baptized the other Sunday in the freezing waters of the Ohio river? Some religion comes high but we must have it.

EDITOR,S MAIL EDITOR,S MAIL Trotter, the Diplomat: I would not miss this opportunity to express my appreciation on behalf of the race for the mastery coinage of the words "The Monroe Trotter Doctrine." That was a master stroke on your part and I trust that the readers of your paper have conceived the possibilities that can be accomplished through the adoption of the spirit that prompted Mr. Monroe Trotter to take the stand he did in Interviewing President Wilson. I am sure you and your readers will agree with me that Mr. Trotter is a diplomat of the first water. While he has been criticized by some, he cannot conceive how he could have chosen to resist his critics suggest better methods than were used by Mr. Trotter. The millions of Afro-Americans in this country should manifest the same spirit of protest as Mr. Trotter did. Wise agitation is now in order, and instead of following the conceptions of a race of which we are no part, we now have as a well laid foundation the Monroe Trotter doctrine, and may the Afro-Americans use it in a way that will reflect credit upon them, which can be done only by a continual, persistent demand that the Afro-Americans be permitted to enjoy without fear of hindrance the rights guaranteed by the constitution of the United States and by the divine law of the rights of man. Our emancipation lies in the Monroe Trotter doctrine. Very truly yours, FRED SUMMERS, 49 E. 28th St. Flat 6. MOBILE, ALABAMA MOBILE, ALABAMA (By W. C. Sample.)

To accept a favor is to forfeit liberty. FROM OUR EXCHANGES. Please Define It. Whenever a Negro asks that his civil rights be respected, the southern white man thinks or professes to think that the Negro is after social equality. Would it not be a good thing if our southern white friends would define what is civil rights and what is social equality. Perhaps the News will give us the information—Baltimore Afro-American Ledger. Try to Win. We are now living in the age of improvement. For instance, take the long-distance man—whose wind, muscle and grit are equal to any strain he may put upon them. You may not approve of the pace that is eat, but you must either follow or get out of the race and watch the others go by. It doesn't do any good to try to stay in and kick because others won't wait for you. They can't walk; they are after the honor and prize. Now, whatever race you may enter, try to whin' don't say "the pressure is too heavy," but stick until the end—Sedalia (Mo.) Searchlight. Professional Ethics? One would not suppose that a physician would be guilty of unprofessional conduct. Nevertheless it is a fact. A patient has a right to patronize any druggist he feels disposed to patronize, notwithstanding the advice of his physician. The Bee has in mind the act of a certain physician in this city who has an imaginary grievance against one of the leading druggists in the northwest. This well-known physician, whose conduct is nothing more than reprehensible, asked his patient where he had his prescriptions having been informed, he advised him go elsewhere, as he had a personal grievance against this well-known druggist. No physician should advise his patient not to firm because of his imaginary grievance. Such unprofessional conduct reacts sometimes to the injury of the slanderer—Washington Bee. Eschew the Word THE RACE HAS MANY FRAILTIES. Many of these serve to keep alive prejudice. One of the greatest of these is the use of the word "nigger" by Afro-Americans. The word is one of derision and contempt for the race. It is applied to colored people much in the same manner that "sheney" is applied to the Jewish people. But do you ever hear that word fall from the lips of Hebrews? Such offenders have the colored people themselves become in the use of the word that when we in ordinary conversation hear the word colored, Negro or Afro-American used instead of the objectionable "nigger" it gives us a feeling not far removed from surprise. Among the younger people the word seems to be a favorite. High school lads and lassies, who undoubtedly know better, use the word, it matters not where the place is or what the occasion may be, invariably. Let each member of the race appoint himself as a sort of linguistic detective and note the instances whereupon he would be justified for making an arrest for the offense. And, were a jail required, it would take one of such dimensions that the Mammoth Hippodrome in New York City would be a toy house by the side of it. Let us first start in front of our own door, then start out as a missionary and take to task everyone who controls the offense in our presence. The "nigger" is undoubtedly an ugly one, serves, as we have said, to foster our prejudice. For if we nickname ourselves with such offensive epithets, what can be of the other race, who is ever ready to pounce upon the least thing calculated to injure us and keep us down in the sinkhole of race prejudice?—Indianapolis Ledger. Weight and Turbidity A lady once consulted Doctor Johnson on the turpitude to be attached to her son's robbing an orchard, "Madam," said Johnson, "it all depends upon the weight of the boy. My schoolfellow, David Garrick, a little fellow, robbed a dozen orchards with impunity. But the first time I climbed a tree—I was always a heavy boy—the teacher with me; and it was called a judgment of suppose that is why justice is represented with a pair of scates." His Interpretation of Nature His Interpretation of Nature's Law, "the law of nature," dactylically states that members of the Sit and Argus club, informally assembled on the porch of the tavern, "is that a certain amount of work is necessary to produce a certain amount of good of any kind whatsoever, and agreed J.

In the province of Sind, India, there are two million five hundred and thirteen people, people, and yet there are occasional panthers, leopards, wolves and hyenas. The gad, or wild sheep, the ibex, the chinker, the black buck and the hog deer are comparatively common. RENT MONEY You never see again.

Medical Emergencies Hysterical Fits, Convulsions in Children, Etc.-Hysterical fits are more common in women than in men. These fits are preceded by emotional symptoms, accompanied by various cries or sricks, but the individual is never unconscious. She may feign unconsciousness, but will not injure herself or himself, as the epileptic individual might. These hysterical victims are made worse by indulgent relatives and sympathetic friends. Ignorant or overanxious friends and relatives should leave the hysterical victim in the hands of a nurse or some inhalation in the hands how to care for such condition. Smiling salts placed on a handkerchief or a piece of gauze to inhale, inhalation of spirits of ammonia are good things. Keep the individual busy, so as to enable him or her to forget the imaginary trouble. Convulsions in Children There are two classes of convulsions in children: Reflex and epileptic. Epileptic causes of convulsion are due to indigestion, overeating, intestinal irritation or the onset of infectious diseases. Often convulsions in children take the place of the usual chill which comes on in infectious diseases in the adult. In these conditions the treatment will be that based upon the form of cause. If due to overeating, the stomach should be relieved immediately; if due to intestinal irritation, clean out bowels with good soapsuds enema—a good dose of castor oil, followed by a hot, mustard bath. If the child still has fever, call in your family physician. Among the epileptic causes there is not much to be done for these convulsions in children except to prevent the child from injuring itself. These children should be placed in an institution where they may receive institu- TACOMA, WASH. By Ray Gibson. Tacoma, Wash, Nov. 27.—Mr. H. Talbot left this city for Pine Bluff, Ark. He wishes to get home before Thanksgiving so as to spend that day with his folks. * * The boys have organized a team which we will be big in success. Their first game has been the So. Tacoma team. The line-up will be as follows: L. end, R. Robinson, L. tackle, H. Delaney, L. guard, E. Greenway; center, G. Gibson and E. Gibson; R. guard, B. Graves; R. tackle, U. White; end, G. Longress and R. Wooster; quarterback, W. Graves and E. Graves; L. halfback, A. Ary; fullback, B. Rucker; R. halfback, C. Longress. The smaller boys also have a team which played the same team that the larger boys intend to play. It was a very exciting game. The white boys started in playing dirty near the end, so some of the big boys joined them. Their line-up was as follows: L. end, A. Wilson; L. tackle, A. Aury; L. assistant, A. Gibson; Grays; ceners, E. Gibson, E. Anderson, E. Evans; R. guard, R. Puller; R. tackle, I. sewell; R. end, R. Gibson; quarterback, E. Anderson; L. halfback, W. Graves; fulback, A. Ury and E. Evans; R. halfback, J. Nelson. Mr. E. Grayson was confined to his home with a sprained foot. He hopes to be out soon. Presiding Elder Barr had charge of the services at the A. M. E. church Sunday. He preached a lovely sermon and night. Mrs. D. W. Grayson sat on the sick list. Her case has all the doctors baffled, but we hope she will be better soon. The harvest home which was held at the A. M. E. church proved to be a great success. * * Mrs. B. Bowlin has moved to her new residence on Yakima avenue. Methodism in the United States. Methodism did not start in this country at Boston in the year 1760. It was in New York city, in 1766, that the tenets of Wesley were introduced to the people of the United States by a "few plaus emigrants from Ireland." Spending Life Well Life should be spent in a strong, continuous effort to improve the apparatus for the guidance of life, both in the past and in the future, be trying to know more and more what are the things to be believed and done.—William Ewart Gladstone. --- Preventive Measures First Aid Remedies Hygienics and Sanitation NO CASES ARE DIAGNOSED AND NO PRESCRIPTIONS GIVEN IN THESE WEEKLY ARTICLES Gas Poison.
