Three of Our Ministers Admit Accepting Ten Dollars from "Starlight" Boyd Whose Saloon License Is Being Held Up by the County Liquor License Commissioners Great "Dry" Advocates These George A. Myers Expose! As about forty-one in the county and now knows, Northfield is still a prominent town law firm. The county commissioners have great "Dry" advocates These George A. Myers Expose! Tuesday, by county District Liquor Commissioners Horton and Krause, this was given a hearing last Friday, which was attended until this week. I do day morning, when it was presented on the Saturday at the office of the district attorney, the decision of the district attorney will be final. The sport in the county is not that it is permitted to be maintained in a place where it was made, but it is permitted to be maintained in a place where it was made. George A. Myers in the salon. En battered, he cooled and quiet question and toed, in the presence of "Stat." One was seized by Malcolm the front door upon the sidewalk. Roman said. Another state investigator reported: "Dunken men would stance in front of Eagl's salon, blocking the sidewalk and mistaining who were passing by. J. S. Jackson was "motorized and of unsuspecting reputation." To this the members of the Ministers Alliance subscribed their names. On the request of Key, Jackson and then recent back on it and him accuse of the witness stand, last week Friday, in the rooms of the Co. L. L. commission. "But the Jackson certainly must have felt like quoting Sam Woods' favorite expression, which he gave vent to when Spero and Roger Dillard "humped" him and Chatty Sutton, several weeks ago: "In times like this, God gave us men." The hearing was started, last Friday, when more than thirty witnesses were examined. In closing the prosecution at room, former Judge Bernstein called three witnesses after Roman. These were: Desk Officer Kuehn, who testified Boyd has signed 25 bonds for men and women arrested from the vicinity of his salon James D. Cantillon, deputy Muny Court clerk, who testified seven bonds signed by Boyd have been forfeited. Joseph Hershey, state law license commission inspector, who testified he had seen card games and checks-lying on the table in Boyd's place. He testified he also saw drink served to men "under the influence." A bombshell was exploded, late Friday, when three of our ministers testified that Bloyd had given each of them $10 so they would not testify against him. They were Revs. Lailey, Grable and Bayliss. When asked what he had done with the money Bailey testified that he had "prayed and prayed over it, and finally came down town and gave it to the Y, M, C, A, fund." Rev. J. S. Jackson told the board that he understood Boyd conducted a "bad place and is a bad man." Attorney Alexander Martin, upst. of Mt. Zion Cong. S. S., representing Boyd, asked him who had told him that. "Why you told me Boyd had a bad place, Mr. Martin," the minister said. Lord, Jace mercy! Twenty "Maschke-Davis" police officers testified that they had never seen any evidence of gambling in Boyd's place, but State Inspector Roman said he had often seen money exchanged in card games in the saloon. The eight ministers were all present, as a result of subpoenas issued at the request of "Star," and certainly furnished the thrills of the occasion. First, by virtually going back on their brother, Rev. J. S. Jackson, who had led them in their fight on "Star's" sabon; next, by the admission of the three, after he had voluntarily exposed them, of having accepted those awful "tenpots" from Boyd, and again, when he (Jackson) told the Commissioners that George A. Myers, of the Hollanden CELEBRATING DAVIS' AND FLEMING'S RE-ELECTION!

Davis of took the two or three hun- dreds of the toe innerword, to drive from the city to a cross plow to ejection day by Rose W. Sowe and his military journey back to this more than a year the meec too manners, times, robbers, sanders and dissolute women of the country over. The Central city, with us more than 250 away houses of ordinary low lives and working heels, most of them by robbers and opened in the past 10 months, is commuters, and the avail- able was deserted by them in the city, is again to the degree that charac- teristics of the enforced depart- mentary city return to their meecs is signaled with four 175 in 111.4 days, closely follow- ing ejection day; two (one white and black) in r. 31st St. Saturday Sunday, Nov. 10 and 11; another wet shot to death at 28.59 Pine Ave. today following, and a Chinese communist brutally murdered and last week Wednesday night, in mine shop in Central Ave, near E. 28th St. Many other crimes and mis- situations have been committed since, and the hardy days (in that district of our denizens of the underworld) of the last year and a half—prior to two weeks before election day—have received for them with a vengeance. All a direct result of the recent re-election of Mayor Harry L. Davis. Elec- tion night, until long after midnight, that of "tweed" who were permit- ed to the police to remain in the Central Ave district, some who went to work or apparently did so, "painted it a red," celebrating in autos and a t, and they certainly "made the wel- lming," shouting and "hurrying" for themselves and Tom Fleming, "Starlight's" first tenant in politics. Among their impactments, was the "storming" of the home of the editor of The Gazette, pounding the door, etc., during his ab- breviation, that might about midnight, and caring his sister, who is not well, near to death. It is perhaps fortunate for I concerned that he was not at home during that hour. Their intention, so If these earlier shop, had come to the A.M. E. parsonage, some weeks ago, and told him that "Star's" license was being held up by the County Liquor License Commissioners and that "now was the time" to him and his brother ministers to get busy" if they wanted, to put hand out or the saloon business. This created a sensation second only to the ministers "ten spot" expose. Sunday evening, "Star" told a representative of The Gazette that Myers had sent Charley Gannon, another saloon-keeper, to him to tell him that he (Myers) "was doing all in his power to assist him (Boyd) get a new license." What do you think of that? If this is true, Myers is certainly a "bird!" It was on this individual's suggestion, Rev. J. S. Jackson told a representative of The Gazette, Monday, that he had written the petition to the Commissioners which he had gotten the other eight ministers, members of our Ministers' Alliance, to sigh and which they had "blinded up" on in a when they had backed up on in a very large degree when placed on the witness stand, last Friday morning. Kees Clark, O'Connell, Bailey and Crawle, Fiskback and Bayliss refused to stand squarely with Jackson against "Star's" saboon but "sidesteped" by saying that they were opposed to saboons in general but not particularly opposed to "Star's" place. It is rumored that Bayliss said that he purchased "re-cries" with his "tainted ten spot," while "Star" told a representative of The Gazette, Sunday, that he told Crawle to buy himself a pair of shoes with his "tainted ten spot" or give it to the church (Mt. Haven). How much (if any) prayer they indulged in before disposing of their money, we have not as yet been able to learn. All day Sunday some of our ministers were being bombed by members of their various churches who were determined to learn whether of not they got some of "Star's" mumza" and, as a consequence, excitement ran rather high in certain quarters. For more than a year The Gazette has pleaded in vain with the Ministers' Alliance to join with it in an effort to help clean up the Central Ave. district. Unless everybody now can tell why we were unable to secure their co-operation. And, too, there are a lot of church members who abused The Gazette for its constant heckling of their pastors for their refusal to ACT in response to our insistence, who owe this paper an apology. Have they sufficient Christianity in their "systems" to make them? We shall see! "Star" tells a representative of *The Gazette* that the three who "confessed" are not the only "ministers" and churches" he has given money. IN UNION IN STRENGTH SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS DAVIS' AND ING'S RE-ELECTION! Thieves, Thugs, Gamblers ittutes Flocking The Central Ave. District—Four Closely Following Election. Beat Up a Citizen "Starlight" informed the editor later, was to "kalmap" the latter and take mm "bodily to the city hall to meet Mayor Maschke-Davis Last week Wednesday night about 2 a.m., John Lawson, a native Clevelander, was in front of his home, 3014 Central Ave., returning from his (night) work at the Rose building, when he was accosted by two officers (Sweeney and another) of the Third precinct police station. He says the latter asked him what he "had on him," grabbed him by the coat lapel and jerked him around roughly, cursing. On his protest, at such misreatment, he claims Officer Sweeney struck him in an eye, knocking it out of place, while Officer Canfield struck him back of the car, elsewhere in the head and on the body; that he broke away from them and ran upstairs into his apartments, followed by the police who arrested him by the station charged him with "starking an officer." Two days later, his eye was still closed and in a terrible condition. There has been so very much of this flagrant and barbarous heating up of the grove in that district, since Davis has been Mayor, it long since reached the point where court action to stop it should be invoked by the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. and the Cleveland Association of Colored Men. This would not be necessary if ward 11 had proper representation in the city council. But Tom Fleming has been appealed to in vain by so many of our people, in cases of this kind and others somewhat similar, in the past year and a half, that as Mr. Lawson and others have well said, it is useless to ask or expect aggressive action from him. This latest barbarous "heating up" promises to be threshed out in the higher courts, as it certainly ought to be. That is the only way to put a stop to it, and the two organizations named owe it to our people of this community to assist in the matter. They have collected hundreds of dollars of our money on the express promise to use it in defending our rights and privileges here, and it is about time they were spending some of it for "the good and welfare" of our suffering men, women and children in this community, Cleveland, as well as sending it to New York city for use in all sections of the country but this city. Indeed, those at home should have had first consideration, and certainly should in the present as well as the future. If they fail to do their clear duty in this matter, then stop giving your money to them. REFUSED TO SEND HIM SOUTH Boston, Mass.-Gov. McCall, in a letter to Gov. Cornwell of West Virginia, explained that heed elicited to grant a request for the return to that state of John Johnson, charged with an actus on a white girl at Charleston because of the "grave danger" that the defendant might be convicted and sentenced to death for a crime of which he may not have been guilty. Assistant Attorney General Neison P. Brown, who was directed by Gov. McCall to conduct a public hearing reported that exaggerated accounts of the crime had been circulated in Charleston and because of their nature and Johnson's color there existed a prejudice "which would be difficult if not impossible of control by the most upright judge." BISHOP C. H. PHILLIPS_PRESIDED SPRINGFIELD, O—The C. M. E. conference which closed here, Sunday, week, planned for much work in the interest of migration. Drs. L. H. Brown, G. M. Noble, C. L. Howard and J. L. Thompson were elected delegates general conference which meets in Chicago, next May. A unanimous vote was cast for the return of Bishop Phillips who has presided over this conference for 8 years. Mrs. Lara Thompson, president of the mission, reported $ 00 for churches of that kind.

The effort to make it appear that the recent re-election of Mayor Harry L. Davis was an endorsement of his administration of Cleveland's affairs, for the past two years, is simply silly. We are again being told the old political parties have served their usefulness and are about to disappear. The Republican party did not disappear in the November elections. Not so you could notice it. --- Ohio citizens have been reading where ham and bacon were cut five to ten cents to the pound to the consumer by the food administration—in Illinois. On the same page they read where coal had been increased by the fuel administration at many of the mines—in Ohio. Some day something will be done for Ohio. --- The disclosures, on the witness stand last week Friday morning, before the County Liquor License Commission, present our local Ministers' Alliance in anything but a favorable "light" and fully indorse all the criticisms The Gazette has showered upon its members directly and indirectly, the past year. It is clear that our local churches need "a housecleaning," as far as their pastors are concerned, to say the least. They are a "pack" of "spineless nonprogressives;" some clearly are much worse. Attorney E. A. Johnson, a native North Carolinian and a very able man of mature years, was elected a member of the New York legislature at the recent election and is our first "Empire State" legislator. Congratulations, Assemblyman Johnson! By the way that state is already organizing an Afro-American regiment to replace the "151b N. Y." mustered into the federal service, several months ago. Ohio Afro-Americans do not seem to be even thinking about replacing the Ninth Ohio Battalion, also mustered into the federal service. --- The sweeping decision, last week, of the U. S. Supreme Court, knocking out the vicious, insulting and harmful segregation laws of a number of southern cities, was won as the result of a fight made by our people of Louisville, Ky., led by Editor Wm. Warley of the Louisville News. Congratulations, conferee! Now watch the $3600-a-year editor of the Crisis, Dr. "Alphabetical DuBois, claim the credit for this great victory for the N. A. A. C. P., just as he tried to do in the case of our successful fight against the infamous photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation," a few years ago, here in Ohio. REPUBLICANS! WAKE UP! The Democratic organization is vigorously active in preparation for the 1918 campaign, but Republicans are, as a rule, occupying a passive attitude toward partisan interests. There may be more or less watchful waiting in administration but not in Democratic political organization. If the Democrats lose any seats in Congress next year it will not be because they were too late in getting their campaigns started. Because of the early activity of the Democrats, Republicans are in some communities taking steps to protect themselves against a coup. In Cook County, Illinois, for instance, a committee of seven on ways and means has been selected, including such men as Representative Madden, County Chairman Galpin and former State Chairman West. representing all the different factions and including men independent of faction, for the purpose of bringing about harmony in the ranks and thus presenting a more solid front against the well-organized Democrats. There are many who believe that Republicans in every section of the country should follow this example of vigilance and not sacrifice an election by permitting the Democrats to practice all the party preparedness. Dr. Sumner R. Furniss Indianapolis, Ind.-Dr. Summer R. Furniss was recently elected councilman from the fourth ward, winning by a large plurality. The ward is in an Afro-American section and Dr. Furniss received 95 per cent of the vote cast. Due to his name on the Republican ticket our voters rallied to the support of the candidate for mayor, Charles W. Jewett, who was elected by a small plurality. Leaves "Tuskegee" $100,000 Tuskegee, Ala.—Tuskegee N. & I. institute was recently left $100,000 by Robely D. Evans, a business man of Boston, who was deeply interested in our education. Hampton was left $25,000 by him. "Tuskegee" also received $10.00 from the Seligman estate, New York City, and the Leveret estate, Boston. TEST OF DEMOCRACY We are all of the same clay and spirit, and we can get together if we desire to get together. Therefore, my counsel to you is this: Let us show ourselves Americans by showing that we do not want to go off in separate camps or groups by ourselves, but that we want to co-operate with all other classes and all other groups in a common enterprise, which is to release the spirit of the American people and bring to set that up as the final test of an 'American. That is the meaning of democracy.—President Wilson in his Buffalo speech, Nov. 12, 1917. THE GAZETTE. CLEVELAND. OHIO. NOVEMBER 24. 1917 S. WHY THEY RETIRED COL. CHAS. YOUNG Washington, D.

To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on Protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our last disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many. —Ellie Wheeler Wilcox. THE MAN WHO DARES. "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends."—Charles Summer. --- Subscribe Now! SILLY, CORSETED GIRL IS SLACKER SO SAYS BERNARR MACFADDEN WHO HOPES THAT WAR WILL PRODUCE BETTER TYPE. Strong Women Are Needed, No Ex use for Weak Ones. The Association of Collegiate Alumnus has submitted to the woman's committee of the defense council a plan to enroll for training all girls between 16 and 42. There is absolutely no excuse for the so-called weakness of women. A weak woman is defective. She has failed to develop the physical and emotional characteristics which are normally associated with femininity. A strong motherhood is the crying need of this age. Woman are gradually encroaching upon the occupations now followed by men, and if they can get rid of their hampering skirts and spend a few years in occupations that call their muscles actively into play, the change that would be wrought in the motherhood of the race would be invaluable. The simpering corrupted product of modern methods in the training of girls has left its mark upon the American race. It is to be hoped that the war will eliminate some of the sickness and cills associated with present systems of feminine education. If a girl is weak, frail, delicate, sickly, her parents and teachers are to blame. They have failed signally in their duty. A system of education that sacrifices health and strength to the attainment of knowledge represents the height of human folly. Let us have an educational system for girls that is complete in every detail. While the boys are making men of themselves, it should be considered the duty of the girls to train with a view to making themselves fitmates for those who come back from the terrible conflict that is now upon us. Strong women are needed. There is no time or place for weaklings. This applies with equal force to either sex, And where weaknesses is in evidence and no effort is made to remedy the condition, fitting penalties should be imposed upon the guilty parties. This is no time for shinkers. Dating will not be permitted. If you are not possessed of the right sort of womanly instincts, go to work with night and main to acquire them. Each day you will feel your flesh becoming firmer, your eyes brighter, your body more comely in outline, and then you will become inpired with the true instincts of womanhood. You will know that you are a woman, real, genuine, aptly careful. And then life will tell its glorious possibilities will open up before you. You will be filled with the sweet content that comes with duty well performed. — Bernhard Martadden in Physical Culture. GARAGE DOOR AUTOMATIC Opens of Own Accord With Push Buttons No more will the owner of the pleasure car find it necessary to "honk honk" his signal horn to have the garage door opened for him. A recently perfected idea for the mechanical operation of garage doors, enables him to open them for himself without leaving his machine. The doors are moved by an electric motor, which is controlled by push buttons on a post. The post may be located anywhere that suits the convenience of the driver of the car. The doors may also be locked or unlocked from the outside by the insertion of a Yale key—Technical World. SALONIKI LUMBER MART Greek City is Turning to America for Supplies Before the outbreak of the war practically all lumber and timber for construction purposes in Saloniki had to be imported. Most of it came from the Danube valley in Austria, Roumania and Bulgaria, but a considerable quantity was also of Russian and Norwegian origin. Now that these sources of supply are cut off, dealers have been turning to America. There are great possibilities in this district in the lumber trade as to both present and future. Lonely New Zealand The New Zealanders are proving themselves worthy candidates for athletic honors. A. F. Wilding, the tennis champion of the world, hails from New Zealand, as also does Dick Arnst, who won the international championship at sculling on the Zambesi river. The New Zealand football teams have defeated the players from the British Isles repeatedly. The settlers in New Zealand are mainly of English descent, but they find themselves at a disadvantage compared with citizens of Canada and the United States, in that they are so far away from anywhere. German electricians who experimented decided they obtained better results by placing the carbons in are lamps horizontally and one slightly below the other. Nearly 30 per cent of all flowers are white. Thought He Was Reading. Margaret was not accustomed to the saying of grace. One night she went for supper with the next-door neighbors.

The directive sense which is possessed by bees is the object of researches made by M. Gaston Bonnier, of Paris, and he seems to prove that bees possess a special sense like that of carrier pigeons. Bees can fly for two miles from the hive and are then able to return after gathering their supply of honey. Langstroth and others suppose that vision comes into play and that bees can see for a great distance and can also note objects on the way so as to find their path. Others, with Dadent, suppose that the bees are guided by the sense of smell and that they can smell flowers at one and a half miles. The author makes experiments to prove that bees can return to the hive without using either sight or odor. As to sight, he takes bees to a distance of one or two miles from the hive in a closed box. They always fly back to the hive when released. The same is true when their eyes are covered, so that sight is not essential. As regards odor, experiments seem to prove that bees perceive odors at only short distances. When a needle dipped in ether is brought near the head of the bee, it shows signs of perceiving the odor, but not so when the needle is placed back of him or near other organs. Besides, when the organs of smell (antennae) are removed entirely the bees will return to the hive. M. Bonner makes the following experiment. At 600 feet from the hive he places a supply of syrup, and the bees soon find it, proceeding to and fro to the hive. Such bees he marks with a green colored powder. He then places a second supply of syrup at the same distance from the hive but spaced at twenty feet from the former. Other bees are now engaged in the to and fro movement to this point, but these are not the same individuals as the green marked bees, who are still working on the first supply, and he marks these in red. We thus have two distinct sets of bees, and we see that they can distinguish two directions which form a very acute angle. We seem to have here a special directive sense which does not reside in the antennae but probably in the cerebroid ganglia. Other facts may be cited in evidence of the directive sense of bees—Scientific American. AMERICAN GLASSWARE Handicapped by European War, Yankee Chemists Find a Way to Improve Their Output. The war has stimulated invention in the United States in a surprising variety of ways, but in none more than in the matter of glassware for chemical, optical and culinary purposes and for the making of glass bulbs for lights. When the foreign made glass gave out the chemical laboratories were agreeably surprised to find that the bills for breakage with the American glass were less than half of what they were before. In the manufacturer of the foreign and American glass before the war potash was considered, one of the necessary ingredients, but potash has been difficult to secure of late and the American glassmakers tried soda, a near relative of potash. The result has been a new glass that stands all kinds of heat in a most surprising way. In fact, the glass promises to develop unexpected advances in cooking. Tinware, crockery and enamel ware reflect heat to a large degree, but glass lets heat through just as it lets light through. It is found that a cake baked in glassware is baked on the bottom as well as on the top. A pie baked in a glass dish has two crusts, a bottom as well as a top. And the new glass stands the heat of the oven without cracking. DOUBLES COFFEE CROP VALUATION BY INVENTION. Discovery of By-Product Creates New and Rich Industry. After forty years of chemical research a way has been found to double the already enormous value of the coffee crop by manufacturing by-products from the coffee berry husk. One of the by-products—manita—properly combined with nitrogen, makes an explosion of about the same power as dynamite or fulminate of mercury, and markets at about $10 per kilogram. The average coffee crop of the State of Sao Paulo, Brazil, is 10,000,000 sacks of 132 pounds each, representing a value of more than $80,000,000. This value is in coffee without the by-products. Dr. Pedro Baptiste de Andrade, the Brazilian chemist, already has begun manufacturing the by-products, which he discovered. He proposed to produce 30,000,000 liters of alcohol, 360,000 kilograms of manita and 30,000 kilograms of caffeine. Caffeine is a drug commanding a price of about 10 cents a gram. Alcohol is sold in Brazil at about 12 cents a liter. Dr. Andrade's process is to treat by distillation processes the coffee berry husk, which heretofore has been discarded as useless. Because of the war-made demand for explosives and alcohol, the new industry is expected to jump quickly into prosperity.

Davis said, speaking of the vice zone established during his administration in the Central Ave. district (in Marion Ave.): "This is the district in which it might be expected that persons might settle for immoral purposes." Why? Because mostly colored people live in that district? Well, well, WELL! Charles L. Washington, 1331 Central Ave, secretary of the Sixth City Whistle club, 2816 Central Ave, was wined $50 and costs by Judge Kramer in police court, Monday, on a charge of sufering were charged eighty-eight other Negroes were charged guilting whites pleaded guilty and were fined the costs. Thirteen said they were only spectators and were released. They were caught rolling the dice late, Sunday night. What about the big crap game and gambling hell in the Woodfliff block? Treat all alike, officers. Sergeant Kadel, of the health department, was taking precautions, Monday, to prevent the spread of smallpox discovered, Sunday, in a rooming house at 4816 Holyoke Ave, occupied by eleven adults and four children. Albert Blackman, found suffering from the disease, was removed to the pesthouse, Monday, and other roomers were vaccinated. John Glenn, living in a rooming house at 2337 E. 35th St. was found to have been vaccinated. Other persons in the house had been vaccinated, however, minimizing the danger of the disease spreading. Forty-five men and 14 women were to appear in Police Court, Monday, as a result of vice and gambling raids, Saturday night and Sunday. Twenty-nine of those arrested on gambling charges were taken from Central Ave, near E. 28th St. Nine others charged with the same offense were arrested in Central Ave, near E. 18th St. The vice raid, which resulted in the arrest of 14 women and seven men, was made in the Central Ave, near E. 18th Ave, and Harrison Rd. Three of the women were charged with keeping disorderly houses. Alex H. Martin, Esq, our candidate for "many" judge at the recent ejection, ran last, receiving less than 14,000 votes to Judge Beebes nearly 50,000 votes. Beebes was the leader Walter McMahon came near getting three times as many votes as Martin did. For this we must thank the Maschke-Davis taction that "double-crossed" Martin and our people. Please recall that The Gagette for weeks before ejection warned our people of this community that the Maschke-Davis taction was only fooling Martin and his friends in order to get our people's support and vote on ejection day; that it would not give him "slate support for many judge (six year term), through at the city, and the result shows plausy that it not had it done so, Martin, and not the judge would have not selected Walter, with the Maschke-Davis "slate" support, broke the Bac association "slate" and won; the only one on do so. W. H. Winans, employment secretry of the National Carbon Co., invited all of our ministers to inspect the buildings of the company and dine at the great plant, last Friday noon. The following accepted: Revs. Bailey, Clark, Smith, Jackson, Crabble and Fishback, who was accompanied by Dr. J. K. Nickens. The company employs a number of 100 good men at once and sought to secure the co-operation of our people in their effort to get them. The inspection trip was "illuminating and the dinner sumptuous and delicious," says Dr. Nickens, indeed, all are loud in their praise of the treatment accorded them by every one at the plant, from Mr. Winans down to and including the two waitresses whom the ministers forgot to "tip" as they should have done. At 2 p. m. they were back at the rooms of the County Liquor License Commission on the morning hours was continued until late in the afternoon. This doubtless accounts for their failure to "remember" the waitresses. A small black cat, sat as if on guard, in the rear room of a laundry at 2743 Central Ave., last week Thursday morning, when two women and a man broke in and found Sam Lee, a Chinese, lying dead on the floor. Apparently it had been the witness to a murder that occurred there some time during the night previous. The crime was discovered when Maureen Knuckel, 348 Scovill Ave., left the laundry with the gain admission and called a man and woman passing to go with her to the rear door. The laundryman was found lying near his bed, which had not been slept in. There was a deep gash in his head, as it made by a hammer and the lock on the money drawer in the front of the laundry had been broken. Police chased the black cat out several times. But it persisted in returning and dumbly watching the scene. They were of the opinion that the laundryman was killed by a burglar, who probably got away with about $25 out of the cash drawer. The three old, three-year-olds, old was taken to the county mugue. A Negro was arrested in connection with this murder. BEST FOR THE BLOOD—Puro Herbs. Sold only at Brown Drug Co. cor.

They are often careless of the gender or appropriateness of the names they take. A householder on Berenetia street, Honolulu, is called The Pretty Woman (Wahine Makai); a male infant was lately christened Mrs. Thompkins; one little girl is named Samson; another, The Man; Susan (Kukena) is a boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and Henry Ana. A pretty little maid has been named by her fond parents The Pig Stye (Hale Pua). For some unknown reason—or for no reason at all—one boy is named The Rat Eater (Kanea OI Ole). The Speaking Likeness SMITH'S name insures this on all PHOTOS. Make no mistake in the Choice for QUALITY, Style and Satisfaction. ..... The Rev. Dr. Coan of Hawaii posessed the love of his flock. One morning a child was presented for baptism whose name was given by the parents, Makia; when the ceremony was finished the parents assured the doctor that they had named the baby for him. "But my name is not Michael," said the doctor, supposing Makai to be all most thereat. 4207 Central Avenue Rosedale 5028 Both Phones Central, 8247-K "We always hear your wife call you Mikla!" answered the mother. She had mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my dear" for her husband's given name. An old servant in Dr. Wright's family, at Kohala, caused her grandchild to be baptized in church. The doctor (Kauka); that was its only name. By way of compliment to the early physicians, many children were named after their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss Rubarb, The Emetic, The Doctor Who Peeps in at a Door. CITY BUT RELIC OF PAST. Comayagua, Honduras, Only Shell of What It Was. Comayagua, the former capital of Honduras, is the sad relic of a glorious past, the shell of what was once a city, an example of the fact that what Central America usually speaks of as Spanish misrule was not entirely inferior to the present system, Comayagua is apparently living on the memories of vanished glories. The climate and the nature of the people are all against any effort to regain them; there is no future for Comayagua visible. Under the Spanlards it was a center for a great district, both in a religious and commercial way. There was once a thriving university in Comayagua; but now the idea his something of the element of humor. DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS? REMEMBER THIS ONE The grass grown streets, the one-story shops with their dusty, light-faded stock, the crude signs before their doors indicate their business in a way that even the mountain Indian cannot misunderstand—a chair for a furniture store, a dangling boot for a shoe-maker—all these are ripe for revolutionary fiction. The population goes largely barefoot, their color runs like the color of shoes in a well-stocked shoe store, all the way from black, through browns and tans to dull white. Even the traditional soldiery are present, in faded blue denim uniforms and discouraged straw hats.

"One funny thing I have learned about human nature," said a drug store cashier, "is the habit many people have of marking their name in the City Directory. They do that because the directory is the only place where their name ever gets into print, and it has such a fascination for them that they can't resist attention to it. A funny little old man who likes to talk tells me that he has made special trips to different parts of the city just to mark his name in the directories of the neighborhood. He puts a little cross in red ink before it. I asked him what good it did. He said none, possibly, although he is a teacher of languages and may get a few calls on account of that queer advertisement. Write for a sample of Palmer's "Hair-Success" Dressing, the best hair pomade on the market. ELMORE "But this is an exceptional case. Not many persons spend time and money hunting up city directories, but every time they happen to see a new one they can't help looking up their name and putting some kind of a mark around it." Figures in a bank statement mean absolutely nothing unless the management of the institution is above reproach. The average business man, in consulting a bank statement, would not imagine that loans, bonds, securities and circulating notes could be so easily juggled with. That is, however, according to Chalmers Lowell Panoast, in The World's Work, an easy matter if the officials of the bank are not honest. Chief among the essentials of a safe bank, Mr. Panoast mentions honesty and a wide experience in financial affairs. With either one of these qualities lacking, the stability of the institution is largely impaired. Naturally, a business man wants to deal with a bank who has character, yet at the same time he does not have confidence in an honest banker unless the man also has wide experience in financial affairs. Honesty and a broad financial knowledge must go hand in hand; a banker must be a partner to a business man in every way possible. The price of tin fluctuates very rapidly and widely. Daily Thought.

Stanley of New York city, who has een working for fourteen years, or since his graduation.from the Univer- aity of Seattle, to improve or find a substitute for the dangerous X-ray. Another advantage of the Green-ray fs that surgeons will, Stanley claims, be able to operate directly in the ray without photographs, as with the X- ray. This will make it possible, for instance, for an army surgeon work- ing at the front to lean over his op- erating table and see at once with the Stanley ray the bullets or bits of shrapnel in the patient's body. With the X-ray the operator has to work behind a lead door or screen to prevent himself from getting burned. The time lost in taking a photograph fs often of fatal consequences. Mr. Stanley has demonstrated to the satisfaction of spectators that his Green-ray will not burn even when the hand is held against the bulb so ‘as to show in detail the bones against a flourescent screen. He declares that his ray will make a good picture at a distance of thirty-nine fect, absolutely Smpossible with other rays. He also has demonstrated that his ray will Project a picture of the hand through @ heavy doer twelve fect trom the bulb. With the Stanley rays it will be easy, the inventor claims, to obtain the photograph of a man’s lungs more that eighteen inches thick an extreme. ly difficult thing to do with the X-ray. Numerous other improvements in hos- pital photographic work will be poss!- ble, the inventor {s confident. HORSE Ie the Poorest Motor Ever Built, Says Thomas Edison, United States statistics compiled in Feference to horse-hauling show that the average horse actually works but three and one-half hours a day. He consumes ten pounds of food for ev- ery hour of work, or 12,000 pounds a year, which is the product of five acres under cultivation. ‘Thomas Edison says: “A horse is the poorest motor ever built. If he were of steel like a gas engine, he needn't be any larger than a soap box, but being a hay motor, and hay be- ing exceedingly wasteful fuel, he had to be made enormously large in pro- portion to his power.” Merely the horseshoes that are ham- mered on by the American black smiths take enough iron to make 40,- 000 motor trucks. Uses of Tiesue Paner, We cannot overestimate the value of tissue paper if we are of the travel- ing public. While it 1s delightfully careful and neat to own a vast array of shoe bags, one to the pair, and bags and slip covers galore for parasols, hair brushes and each thing we want to seprate from every other, the fact remains that they take up a far too Senerous proportion of our trunk space. Tissue paper, which is a very 00d substitute, takes up none of the valuable room and is in no way open to criticism. It is clean, white and dainty; quantities of it are available at any time, and there 1s no better ma- terial for filling sleeves. and tucked or puffed portions of all handsomely made gowns to keep them from crush- ing. Tissue paper should be crumpled and poked into ribbon or lace hat dows and among .hat flowers, and should suround the hat itself to keep Mt from flattening against the sides of the box or trunk lid. ‘Bach pair of dainty gloves and all neckwear should be separately wrap- ped. Layers of it to separate the va- ried contents of the trunk will make the terrible business of unpacking Jess dificult. ‘Travelers who have packed with tis- sue paper bave been quite won over to its use. Qecretive Family Bible. ‘Tommy was a venturesome lad, but nobody had ever credited him with sufficient courage to shake his head im contradiction when the Sunday school visitor, who wished to show off IMs knowledge of Biblical history, as- serted that Sarah, Abraham's wife, ‘was the only woman whose age was recorded in the Bible, says the New York Sun. Seeing the disapproving motion of the little head in the front row the visitor reiterated: “Sarah was the only woman whose age is re- corded in the Bible.” Then Tommy ‘spoke right up: “There are three ‘more that I know of,” said he. “Who?” ‘asked the astonished visitor. “Moth. er, grandmother, and Aunt Lucy,” said Tommy.

The latest device to aid him in making sales is a moving picture projecting outfit packed in a suitease. Instead of making a verbal argument, he con nects his cinema with an electric ght socket and throws on the wall a moving picture of the article he is trying to sell as it actually works. ‘The machine can also be used to show processes of manufacture, where it is desirable to convince the custo- mer of their excellence.
