Its Officers—New Building—Capitalfully Subscribed—Editor Young—President. Norfolk, Va.—If Norfolk has experienced any business lethargy among its colored population during recent years, it can now be safely said that this condition has been dispelled and Editor P. B. Young. a new on arrival, culminating in the organization here on Tuesday, Oct. 1, of the Tidewater Bank & Trust Co. with a minimum capital of $100,000 fully subscribed. The State Corporation Commission has granted the corporation a charter, and just as soon as the handsome office building, which is now being constructed as the permanent home of the bank, is completed the institution will open its doors for business. The building is being constructed of brick and cement with limestone cement and is to have ground and masonry floors. It will be occupied exclusively by the officers of the bank and trust company. The president of the Tidewater Bank & Trust Company is Mr. P. B. Young, Editor of the Journal and Guide and president and general manager of the Guide Publishing Company, who is the best equipped most modern newspaper and job printing plants owned by the owner of the race in this country. Mr. Young is one of our most aggressive business men and editors, and under his direction The Journal and Guide has developed into one of the race's best papers, with a highly efficient plant occupying its own specially built and commodious office building. The secretary, treasurer of the new institution is Mr. J. S. Jones, at present cashier of the Mutual Savings Bank of Portsmouth. The Mutual, a little more than two years ago, began business with a capital of $12,500. Today its resources are over $200,000. It is the only Negro bank in the United States that is a government depository. Mr. Jones is a real "live wire" in the banking business. The officers and directors of the bank represent the leading business and professional men of Norfolk, Portsmouth, and adjacent territory. They are as follows: Officers. P. B.

Edition Gazette. Dear Sir: Can any mentally normal human being read Ballard Dunn's evasive, hypocritical answer to our demand for our rights and, while reading, fail again to realize how violently prejudiced against the Negro race the Wilson administration always has been? Is the treasury department so marvelously obseust that it cannot learn that not confluence alone but principle as well actuates millions of Negroes in fighting for democratic railway service? Intelligent Negroes know—who does not?—that between the school of democracy and the vicious cult of caste is bitter enmity that is inherently irreconcilable. The reason why millions of Negroes are fighting for railway segregation—hate in other words, that application of caste—is the fact that that anti-democratic practice is an impudent afront which our enemies offer us. Keenly recognizing that insult we as keenly resit it. Any court decisions concerning intrastate passengers are irrelevant. There are no laws requiring "separate accommodations for white and colored" interstate passengers on railroads. The constitution provides thatowers over interstate travel are in the hands of the federal government and, by the war amendments, that congress has power to pass laws for incurring our traveling rights. If the city of Boston were affiliated with a municipal government so idiotic as to pass an ordinance prohibiting, for instance, the collecting and distribution of mail on Saturday afternoons, would that insane law (2) be respected? The present administration will put an end to this particular disgrace if the administration will evince half of the interests in rights as that which Wilson displayed in the demands of white labor unions—an interest which he so vigorously demonstrated in the "eight-hour railroad" Levi C.

Hopewell, Va.—Five were killed and seventy-three injured in a race riot which occurred here recently and which started over the proprietor of the mess hall at the Du Pont Munition Plant slapping a woman of the race in the face who "refused to obey orders." Of the five dead, three are white and two colored. The man who started the trouble is said to have been one of those fatally wounded. —Buy War Savings Stamps BUY LIBERTY BONDS IN UNION WE IS SPREAD SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS CISION! BROW" CAR THE SOUTH CONSTITUTIONAL AS AF- STATE PASSENGERS controversy of the summer and autumn of the year 1916. There is no law under which a state governor is forced to delay the legal execution of a white convicted murderer because the president of the United States requests prosecution. But who does not know the power of a presidential request (if it be not ambiguous nor purely perfunctory) now? Why does not Mr. Wilson's administration see to it that that insulting, segregating, anti-democratic abuse be atasted, at least during the war, which he says, is being waged for liberty and democracy? By the criterion of right or feasibility, equality and separation cannot here co-exist. How could it be practically possible to maintain equal traveling services while a Negro cannot eat on a dining car as long as a single passenger of any other race cats on the same car? How could there be equality so long as a Negro passenger cannot use a Pullman berth or seat in either Texas or Oklahoma? Assuming that when—as so many, many, MANY times occur—five or less colored passengers and a dozen or more passengers of other races wish to sleep in berths on the same train, does Mr. Dunn honestly believe that a special Pullman will be run for the five or less colored passengers? Does any person make a pretense of claiming equality of travel as long as a Negro is restricted to a part of a car partitioned off from the rest, while on the same train, person of all races enjoy the use of a whole car? Does such inequality be averted? Even under Mr. Dunn's plainly intimated hypothesis—and what a silly hypothesis it is—that Mr. McAdoo's department will transmute into possibilities the many impossibilities which readily suggest themselves, equality could not be operated separately. Is not the exclusion of a single race inequality per se? William H. Dammond. Editor Smith Scores Victory. The infamous and obnoxious film, "The Birth of a Nation," has "pullled stakes" and left for parts unknown, in accordance with an order from Gov. James M. C. James, who banished it from the state of Ohio. Unstinted praise is due Hon. Harry C. Smith, editor of The Cleveland Gazette, who headed a persistent movement three years ago which succeeded in barring the vicious film from the state two years. Now comes the joyful and encouraging news of his second success in having it barred from the state indefinitely. The film had been showing at one of the local theaters for two weeks.-Alex. O. Taylor, Cleveland (O.) correspondent of the Chicago Defender.-Oct. 12, 1918. Cleveland, O. Oct. 5, 18. Hon. Harry C. Smith. Editor Gazette. Cleveland, O.? Dear Mr. Smith: I notice in this week's Gazette the glorious news that the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation," has again been barred from the state through the prompt action of our good governor, the Hon. James M. Cox, when your strong and great plea was placed before him. For the second time the whole Negro race is your debtor in the fight against the insulting and degrading film, a picture that seeks to debase us all and arouse still stronger the prejudice of whites against the "over-loyal" black. While others here and elsewhere have talked, harangued and "protest-marched" (last year) all to no avail, you have "acted" and acted in the true and effective way, by carrying the fight against the vicious film before President Wilson, Secretary of War Baker and Governor Cox. "Results count", and again, as in many times past, you get results! The Negro race owes great and "heartfelt" thanks to the able editor of The Gazette. Bars "The Birth of a Nation." Duquesne, Pa.—In response to petitions from well known citizens, the local city council, last week Monday morning, decided to request the manager of the Merlin theater to bar the infamous film, "The Birth of a Nation." Arrangements had been made to show the picture here this week. Buys $100,000 Bonds. Shireport, La.—David H.

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1918 The Gazette was so happy over the success in driving that infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," from the state that it forgot to give to its good and faithful friend, the Hon. Emmett J. Scott, Special Assistant to the Secretary of War, all the credit it feels he is entitled to for the very valuable assistance he rendered. We are pleased to note that Secretary John Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P. has been quick to take The Gazette's suggestion, of several weeks age, that our people of other states follow Ohio's lead, of three years age and in recent weeks, and begin a fight against ALL vicious and harmful photo plays, using the argument that carried us to success—that such films very materially harm the morale of our people wherever shown. He is advising Afro-Americans everywhere to appeal to their various state councils of defense. Good! Not only last week but many times prior to that in recent months has The Gazette called attention to the fact that the U. S. Supreme Court has never rendered any decision as to the constitutionality of "southern "jim-crow" car laws as affecting interstate passengers—those traveling from one point to another in another state or territory. Its decision had relation to intrastate passengers only—those traveling from one point to another in the same state or territory. Mr. Ballard Dunn, of the U. S. Treasury Department, and many of our people, even some of our lawyers, do not seem to know this. It will pay all to read carefully and thoughtfully Wm. H. Dammond's excellent communication on the first page of this paper. In expressing approval of the sweeping majorities given by the people of Maine to the Republican candidate for senator and all four of the representatives, the New York Times comments: "From his political enemies Mr. Wilson not infrequently gets judicious criticism and indispensable help." And from his politician supporters President Wilson all too frequently gets an injudicious incense some of which could be advantageously dispensed with. When a Democratic paper of the ability and character of the New York Times registers approval of the judicious criticism that Republicans have made at times, and when it appraises their help as indispensable, what becomes of the cry of the partisan that incense burning is alone patriotic? Future historians may express surprise at the moderation of Republican criticism during the war period. Who can compute the illimitable criticisms that would have been put forth under the same circumstances on the Democratic party had it been the minority party in the war? THE MAINE EVENT. The sweeping Republican victory in the Maine elections presages the overthrow of the Democratic control of the Senate and House at the general elections in November. The decisive majority by which Senator Fermail has been returned to the Senate, indicating an impressive gain over the vote that sent him to that body two years ago, is positive evidence that Republicanism is growing not only in Maine, but throughout the country. The people are tiring of the secret government that has been in control at Washington and are determined to send to the halls of congress men who will see to it that the light of day is let in upon the devious methods pursued by the party now in power. The gains in Republican strength reflected in the Maine returns verify the prediction long since made by leaders of the party in Washington that the claim of the president in the last campaign in the cry of "He kept us out of war" would be repudiated at the first opportunity. The present elections also furnish the voters with their first chance to exercise their opinion of the aircraft seandal, the shipping fiasco of last year, and the notorious waste of public funds in the attempt to produce munitions and supplies for the army. Those in control of the executive branch of the government cannot be ousted for two years more, but meanwhile the people intend to put a check on their reckless exploitation of the public business for political ends by sending to congress men who will insist on thorough investigation and publicity. A SETBACK BUT NOT DEFEAT By. Rey. Wm. A. Byrd. The battle has been fought in the senate and a temporary setback has met the cause of woman suffrage. Why? The South is unwilling to have democracy reign in America. The president of the nation urged it as a war measure but his party defended it. That is, the Democratic party would prefer us losing the war rather than give woman suffrage a chance because with woman suffrage comes the right of colored women to vote in the South. By stealing and force, the South has deprived black men of their ballot and can they not do the same with black women even though the nation does give all women the vote? Do southern statesmen acknowledge that they are powerless to prevent colored women from voting if this amendment is ratified? Do southern statesmen know that they have given the American people a clear cut issue—the solid South must be dethroned? This nation has only one duty to perform and that is to destroy the preponderating influence of the lawless South in the national government. The Democratic party has said partisan politics, which secures for itself governmental control, is of greater concern than the winning of the war or the rights of women who are suffering, bleeding and dying to win the war. The senators who have stood in the way of this advanced position in the matter of suffrage might as well look forward to defeat when they come before the people again for re-election. The civil welfare of the colored South of America is the only with women suffrage. While women of the nation have not consented to receive the ballot for themselves and deny it to the black women as white men have done. The law of eternal justice and right has made white women refuse to be politically tricky, but rather they have played fair. It is the duty of every black man in America to cast his vote so that woman suffrage will become a fact in our land. The searchlight of righteousness must be turtled up in the U.S. senate. The way to give women suffrage the right to be with women is called the Republican congress. Talks the senate away from the Democratic party as now constituted. The South must be removed from power because it is undemocratic, sectional, race antagonistic and incompetent to handle anything save stuffing the ballot. Any colored voter who uses his influence to elect a Democratic congress is blind and needs enlightenment. The South is solid because it desires to keep the Negro enslaved. All of the patriarchal shown by the South caught with the South. It wants the Negro there as a slave. It has had it since 1884. This nation cannot ratify Germany until it smashes the diopolic "Hun" of the South. The American people has removed at the table to give justice until it has removed the black blot from its own executenche—the untruly South. This nation has permitted itself to be hoodwinked by the nativeds lies told by the South on the Negro and told it has left him to the cruel mercies of the South. At its first opportunity the South has done the manly task of being the race that itace. With all of its hypocritical cart about its love for womanhood, the South has shown that it is not to be believed. As the South cannot be trusted to be just toward women in matters of suffrage, it also cannot be trusted in any other way. The thing for colored people to do is, leave the South as fast as possible. Sacrifice property and every other thing and let the despicable southern "Hun" live by himself. Then it is for congress to cut down the representation that will be a menace to the nation. Negroes must not stand in the way of this reform. The slogan is, Negroes seek other quarters! The open-door of labor invites you and the life of a man stands waiting for you. Put the South out of business. The women at their first opportunity will do the work. NO PREJUDICE IN FRANCE. No Stir Caused by the Appearance of Afro-American Soldiers at a Table in the Lafayette Club. Paris, France, Sept. 28.—In what might be described as the second "American city" in France there is the Lafayette club. This is an officers' mess with all club conveniences. There is a capacity lounge, a big bedding room, two real American baths, barber shop and all the things to make the club comfortable and desirable. The dining room is a big thing and the meals are good and reasonable in price. French, American and British officers are always to be found there. The waitresses are wives, widows or daughters of French soldiers; the barber is a pioneer whom wounds have incapacitated for wounds with the leg manager is a soldier with the leg manically stiffened, and the flower beds and lawns are tended by German prisoners. At 12:30 today, in the midst of lunch for the first time in its history two Afro-American officers entered the dining room and seated themselves at a table. The polite waitress asked the new guests for their orders, and saw them served promptly and as soon as the conversation at the other tables go ahead as if no strangers were within the gates. These are the first black officers seen in the club. The British have native officers in the Indian army, but their rankings, while parallel, are of different designations. None of them and none of the French Moroccan have appeared at the club as yet, it is said.

Henderson, pastor of the A. M. E. church of this city, will continue his duties as pastor of the local church. This was decided, Oct. 6, at the closing meeting of the tenth annual W. Va. conference, when the appointments were read by Bishop C. T. Shaffer. The announcement was greeted by a burst of applause that echoed and re-echoed throughout the spacious Apostolic Holiness church where the closing sessions of the conference were held of the great forest in the conference. Young chapel was found to be too small to accommodate it. Therefore, when the officials of the Holiness church (white) tendered the use of their auditorium, which seats 1,000, it was accepted. The afternoon and evening sessions of the closing day of the conference were held there and the congregation at night filled the church. Many members of the Holiness faith contributed freely to the success of the final session. **Church's Healthy Growth.** Reports read during the closing day showed $40,000 raised for the cause of missions during the last fiscal year by the missionary department. Bishop Shaffer repeatedly expressed himself as well pleased with the healthy growth of the church in West Virginia, expected that the conference in 1920, will provide larger financial provisions for the work in this field. Further reports showed that the church has made a great increase in membership during the past year and has increased more than 20 per cent. in financial returns. GOOD NEWS FOR OUR BOYS.

One salary at a time, Mr. Conners.

Last Saturday afternoon four boys in tailor uniform were walking east on Superior Ave., west of W. 6th St. One was an Afro-American who was finishing a furlough, after having been home to Missouri to see his folk, and was on his way cast to his ship. The other three were evidently members of the Naval Training group. All four decided to eat the restaurant near the beach with instructions from their Afro-American companion to ask if they (the restaurant people) would serve him, too. Of course, the waitress promptly answered, "No!" And this was "wivagged" out to the waiting Afro-American. Nor far away stood two local members of the race, Messrs. Holloway and Frank Perkins. When told of the refusal, the former went back to the restaurant with the young man from the "show me" state and waited outside while he went in and asked for service, something he should have done in the first place, but the waiter was very happy with his job did. He should have gone in and sat at the tables with them, and not ask if he could be served. That invariably invites refusal.

S. sailor of color to the naval recruiting office in the Postoffice building, where his miserable experience was sympathetically listened to. The result? Officials in the recruiting office went back to that restaurant, Jim Hewitt, a proprietor who very simply blamed the waitress for the refusal, and said she had no instructions or authority to do what she did, and then proceeded to feed the hungry Afro-American sailor. The proprietor of the place is said to be a man by the name of J. L. Sheppard and the restaurant to be located at 720 Superior Ave., N. W. Many thanks to the many officers at the recruiting office. They have. notice the waving mowl of our people of this community, harmed so by that infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," than they realize. Dimmett J.

It must be remembered that in the West Indies the most exacting social standards prevail—social standards based upon the complexion, the texture of the hair, possessions, occupation, learning and parentage. In the British West Indies the Barbadian Negro is despised by the other Negro islanders; in the Indian West Indies in his superiority is haughty and bombastic in his conduct whenever dealing with other Negro islanders; the Negro from Antigua actually seems the Negro from St. Kitts, and the same is true of other Negro islanders; each group possesses the some insular pride, each group secumbes and gives vent to the spirit of antagonism. The Danish West Indians, now known as Virgin Islanders, are disliked by the different groups of British West Indian Negroes. Then they too, manifest that foolish insular pride among themselves. Negroes Phonemes, for example, a sense of their own impressiveness and superiority and they substitute this for good common sense whenever dealing with Crucians, and the Negroes from St. Croix (Crucians) are as ridiculous and conceived as any other group—Denver (Colo.)

The Savoy theater, St. Clair Ave. and E. 103d St. Cleveland, did not get to show the miserable film, "The Birth of a Nation," last week, Tuesday, as advertised. Why? Tell Bailey, Jackson and the other members of that spineless Ministers' Alliance. They do not seem even yet to have heard of it! Fine (?) church leaders, they! "rank! tumors," too. What became of that $75 or $100 balance left from the $400 or $500 collected from our poor, hard-working men, women and children in our churches and elsewhere, last year to the Nation?" The last we heard of it, a committee consisting of Miss Hazel Mountain, Messrs. J. W. Wills and H. C. Bailey were said to have charge of it with Wills as the treasurer. Last year meetings were held in our churches, prayers were made, songs sung; a parade-demonstration, which turned into a vicious mob that smashed street car windows, etc., and which was at least encouraged by members of the Cleveland Association of Colored men; and a fight in the courts that cost between $200 or $200, were made against "The Birth of a Nation." Then ALL "laid down, quit," because they did not succeed right away. Last week, "The Old Reliable" Gazette "turned the trick"—secured the banishment of the vicious film. Did the spinster Minister's phone call meetings, collect money etc., or even announce the great victory, Sunday, in the churches? Not so you could notice it, Revs. O. W. Childers and B. K. Smith of the East End excec- Thank God! You ungrateful individuals! Never mind the editor of The Gazette; only do what he did in our issue of last week—Thank God! Get down on your knees in the presence of your friends. Throughout Ohio, outside of Cleveland, others have been and are doing so and are pleased beyond measure that the opportunity has, at last, again presented itself to do so.

That short boys and girls keep on growing for a longer time than tall boys and girls, but with less rapidity, and that school systems are remix in their standards of grading, are some of the conclusions reached by Dr. Bred T. Baldwin, professor of psychology and education in Swarthmore College, in a book just issued by the University of Chicago Press. The volume is the fifteenth year book of the National Society for the study of Education and Dr. Baldwin's article is entitled "Physical growth and Physiological Age." He takes the position that the schools should take into consideration the physiological ages of students and the accompanying mental development rather than the chronological age and the brightness of the child. Prof. Daniel Starch of the University of Wisconsin, in an article on "Standard Tests as Aids in the Classification and Promotion of Pupils," urges the institution of a department of testing in every school system. "The two chief sources of was education are (1) teaching things that the bright pupils already know and (2) teaching things that none of the pupils need know. "Economy in the latter will be achieved by ascertaining what the really essential and important things in each subject are." HISTORIC MARKER DESTROYED How Kansas Got Land That Really Belonged to Oklahoma Belonged to Oklahoma The mound of rocks which has been the only marker for the southeast corner of Kansas since its admittance as a State and the northeast corner of the Indian Territory since the Territory was recognized has been razed and a real marker placed in the ground. The mound was placed there to mark the dividing line between the Osages and Cherokees at the time of the Missouri Compromise in 1823, and ever since it has been respected and observed as the boundary between Missouri, Kansas and Oklahoma by red men and white. A rock road was proposed recently, and the county surveyor of Cherokee county was called to bury a marker and erect witness markers so that the road could go directly over the corner stone instead of around it. The southeast corner of Kansas is a quarter of a mile south of where the government ordered it located. Coincident with that fact is the legend among the pioneers in that locality to the effect that one of the government's surveyors who had charge of the expedition to make permanent boundaries in Kansas when it was admitted to the Union in 1861 was suffering a headache the morning the work was begun, due to a late session with a relative of John Barleycorn the night before. The government ordered the boundary to begin "At a point where the thirty-seventh parallel crossed the western boundary of Missouri," in stead, the surveyor began with the pile of rock, which some Indians told him was the boundary line, instead of at the parallel, which was a quarter of a mile north. The surveying party got back to the parallel at a point south of Coffeville says the Topieka Capital, leaving a triangular scuff of ground in southeast Kansas that should have belonged to the fordign Territory. But the land has given it to Kansas "for keeps." CLEARS LAND OF BRUSHWOOD Machine Now Used to Open Way for the Agriculturalist In certain sections of western Canada brushwood and young timber cover whole areas in thick mats, making the district of little value for agriculture even the possessing a rich soil. To tilt these regions of the incumbrance in a practical manner, a power cutter has been invented intended to displace the older hand ax and kindred slow tools. A gasoline tractor furnishes the motive power and to its front end a sort of "cow catcher" arrangement is fastened. On the front edges of this triangular framework, long, sharp knives, present razor edges. In going thin brush the long caterpillar wheels on the tractor catch a form grip in the soil and force the knife cutped in among the saplings. The result is that they are sliced neatly and smoothly close to the ground, leaving the soil in satisfactory condition for plowing. The machine also automatically piles the trees in near windows. MINISTER PATENTS A DEVICE Invention Holds Sheet or Book Before Typists Eyes. Rav, Gustav A. Welshar of Brazil, had has been granted patent on a copy holder for a typewriter. His invention consists of a folding metal framework, which can be attached to any modern standard make of typewriter. The framework supports a folding rack somewhat similar to that on a musical stand. This is arranged to hold either sheets of paper or a book. Rav Welshar said that in getting up his sermons he often desired to quote directly from books and he found it very inconvenient to lay the book on one side of the typewriter and thus read the copy with desired erase. ENGINEER GETS IDEA TO PREVENT WRECKS So Young man of Waterloo, Iowa, has it Patented—His or Simple Construction. Earl B. Scott, of Waterloo, Iowa, has come into the limelight in railroad circles as the inventor of a new steel guard rail which is designed to take the place of the wooden guard rails now in use on trestles and bridges. The former Waterloo boy now resides in Joilet, Ill. and is employed as a civil engineer by the E., J. & E. Railroad. His father C. E. Scott, is a popular engineer on the Illinois Central and the son took naturally to a railroad career. Scott's invention, which is regarded by railroad men as a very important one, is the result of a wreck which he witnessed. After seeing this wreck he set about the task of designing a new guard rail to prevent derailment, and last month a patent was issued to him for his invention. A number of manufacturers of railroad supplies immediately opened negotiations with him, and he has been made several handsome cash offers for his device. The Scott guard rail is regarded by railroad experts as compact, easy to install and economical. It may be made in one piece or in sections, which allows it to conform to varying conditions in railroad construction. From its simple construction and strength it is believed that it will be in great dum, especially for railroad building in mountainous sections. INVENTS NEW GAS GENERATOR Especially Designed for lighting Farm Buildings A Purvallah, Wash., plumber and tunner has patented a farm ger generator, which he is now manufacturing and putting on the market. It is arranged to make the pressure uniform, and by a secret chemical process greatly improves the usual carbide gas light. The inventor calls it the Artificial Sunlight Generator, because of the closeness with which the light approaches the quality of sun light. John Burroughs and the Chipmunk A chipmunk came and dug his hole in broad daylight in a few yards of my bush camp under the apples, and I have had daily opportunity to watch the proce dings. I have never known anyone who has been so fortunate in this respect, nor have I ever seen in print any account of the little rodents' proceedings or such an occasion. For several year I have been an observer and an investigator of their little mounds of freshly dug earth along the margin of the highways or the woody borders of the fields, but until now have never caught one of the little miners at work. I was fancied that the disgust was done at night, and that the earth was carried out to the dumping place in the check pouches. But such is not the case. My little neighbor worked by day, and his cheek pockets were never used in transporting the earth from his hole to the dumping place. I had often found a fresh pile of earth two or three yards from the hole out of which it came, with never a soil littering the grass between the two, and no sign of a trail. I had also been fairly bewildered by finding stones in the pile of fresh soil so large that they could not be forced back into the hole out of which I saw so they had come. On three occasions I had found, such freshly dug stones, and they were all too big for the opening that led to the chipmunk's den. If what magic or sleight of hand had beget them out? From what I had seen one November after the earth had been frozen and then thawed once on twice, I concluded that the little engineer had made a niche in the side of his hole just deep enough to make room for the passage of these flat stones, and then he packed it full of earth again. In one case where a red squirrel had apparently been to force an entrance, such a bird was disclosed, as if the softer earth there had dropped out. But as I had found other holes the rims of which had evidently never been tamped with, and yet the dump of which held one or more stones larger than its all ameter, I was hopelessly puzzled. I had found still more holes that had no dump at all—not a grain of fresh earth anywhere in our neighborhood. There is one by the roadside in front of Woodchuck Lodge now, eight feet from the fence, into which the chipmunk is daily carrying his winter stores, but which has not the slightest vestige of an earth mound anywhere in its vicinity. If the squirrel ever carried the dirt away in his cheek pockets, I might conclude he had caught it along the roadway. This mystery of the holes that have no visible dumping place I have not yet cleared up. Were there a woodchuck hole any of them I might think that the loosened soil had been shot into that, the problem grands with me now it is an insoluble mystery. A friend suggests, that like the Irishman, he probably dies another hole to put the earth in! -Harper's Magazine. The largest steam hammer in the world is in the gun factory at Woolwich arsenal. It is capable of striking a blow of nearly 1,000 tons yet it is so carefully adjusted and accurately timed that it is possible to place a nut beneath the huge hammer and to crack the shell without injuring the kernel. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, OCTOBER 19, 1918 FIND INDIAN FIREPLACE OF AN EXTINCT TREE Probable Spot Where Alganquins Held Sacrifice of White Dogs to Wipe Out Their Sins Authorities on Indian relics at Rockefeller, N. Y., are interested in the recent discovery on the shore of Owascar Lake of Alganquin remain, made by Arthur C. Parker, Sutah archologist, especially in the finding of the site of a fireplace. The fireplace was the spot where the red men hundreds of years ago held their religious ceremony of the sacrifice of the white dog. Alvin H. Dewey who has probably the finest collection of Indian relics in this section agrees with Mr. Parker that the fireplace is one of the most valuable discoveries connected with Indian life yet made in this country. "Alqonquin refies are not very plentiful," said Mr. Dewey, "When a real village site is brought to view the excavation becomes very interesting. The spot where a religious ceremony took place is especially so, as these discoveries are the only history we have of the Alqonquins, who undoubtedly were the prehistoric people of America." Mr. Dewey added that the discovery strengthened the belief before held by students of Indian lore that the sacrifice of the white dog was practiced by the red men of all tribes for centuries. The sacrificing of the white dog was to the Indians the most important of their religious ceremonies. It was celebrated annually. On the first day of the ceremony an Indian runner, orrier would go through the village and give notice that it was to take place. It was then the time for the people to purify themselves from sins committed through the year. When they had assembled the priest or medicine man would figuratively take the sins of the people and lay them on white dogs two or three of them. This act, it was believed, cleansed the people as a whole from their sins. The dogs were then strangled with due ceremony, but not a drop of blood could be shed in the killing. The carcasses were placed on a pyramid of wood and a fire was started. While the bodies of the dogs were being consumed, the people called on the threat Spirit to forgive their sins. A later period imitation dogs were used by the Indians. Mr. Parker, who is conducting the excavations is a post graduate of Harvard University and a recognized authority on matters pertaining to Indiana. NOVEL PACKAGE CABINET MADE Protects Goods From Removal by Persons on the Outside. Among new inventions recently patented in a device known as a double deck sanitary milk and grocery cabinet, that is a novel contrivance and a great convenience in dwellings. It consists of a metallic box, telescoping to fit walls of different thicknesses, and designed to be built in, or fitted to houses already erected. The contrivance may be made in different sizes, but the model is about 12 inches in dimensions each way. On the outer door is a tray and when a bottle or parcel is placed within, the door is locked and cannot be released except from the inside. This done the cabinet is ready for another delivery. HE GETS GOLD FROM TAILINGS Miners Interested in Process of Calif- ferman. James A. Brett, who recently started an experimental plant at Sutter Creek, Cal., for treating the tilting from the poles of the neighborhood, has returned there after an absence of a few weeks, and intends prosecuting work in his line quite vigorously until mining men in the vicinity realize the value of his system for saving the values that are at present allowed to escape from the mills. His plumb is located at the foundation of the Knight Company, where he has made a number of demonstrations of interest to local mining men. His system has been worked most successfully, it is understood, at mines in Missouri, Arizona and Nevada. SLEIGH RUNNERS FOR BUGGY New Invention by an Iowa Veterinary Surgeon Dr. William P. Bossenberger, a veterinary surgeon of Williams, Iowa, has just secured a patent upon sleek runners for buggies which may be easily and quickly clamped to the ase of a buggy. The runners are so arranged that they cover all shocks of traveling over uneven ground and keep a buggy from turning over when passing thru deep snow. The invention may be manufactured at small cost. HAMMOCK FOR BABY IN AUTOS Simple Contravariance for Use on Long Motor Trips. A company at Seattle, Wash., recently has placed on the market a novel hammock, a simple contravariance to hold the baby on long motor trips. It is made of strong materials and hooks from the robe rail on the back of the front seats to any projection at the back of the rear seat. Adjustable straps become springs which protect the baby from any jar, and the hammock is built throughout so that accident to the infant is impossible. The odor of a well cooked dinner is the incense of domestic happiness.
