Us Officers—New Building—Capital Fully 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 diagnosed and Editor P. B. Young. a new era arrived, 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 front and is to have ground and mezzanine 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, officer of the Journal and Guide and principal and general manager of the Guide Publishing Company. Inc. of the best equipped and most modern newspaper and job printing plants owned by members of the race in this country. Mrs 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 $300,000. 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. Young, president; Dr. G. Hamilton Francis, vice president; THE "JIM CROW" CAR LAWS OF THE SOUTH HAVE NOT BEEN HELD CONSTITUTIONAL AS AF- FECTING INTER-STATE PASSENGERS Boston, Mass. Oct. 14, 1918. Editor Gazette, Dear Sir: Can any mentally normal human being read Ballard Dunn's exasive, 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 obtuse that it cannot learn that not convenience 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 enough that the reason why millions of unlightened Negroes uncompromisingly hate railroad segregation—hate, in other words, that application of caste—is the fact that that anti-democratic practice is an impudent affront which our enemies offer us. Keenly recognizing that insult, we as keeply 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 that powers over interstate travel are in the hands of the federal government and, by the war amendments, that congress has power to pass laws for securing our traveling rights. If the city of Boston were afflicted 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 interest in our rights' as that which Mr. 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 IS STRONGER SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS CISION! ROW" 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 procrastination. But who does not know the power of a presidential request (if it be not ambiguous not purely perfunctory) now? Why does not Mr. Wilson's administration see to it that that insulting, segregating, anti-democratic abuse be abated, 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 cat on a dining car as long as a single passenger of any other race catches 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 occurs—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 protense 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, persons of all other races enjoy the use of a whole car? Under separation can such inequality be averted? Even under Mr. Dunt'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? Editor Smith Scores Victory. The infamous and obnoxious film, "The Birth of a Nation," has "pulled stakes," and left for parts unknown, in accordance with an order from Gov. James M. Cox, 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 "ever 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. Very sincerely, ALLEN H. DORSEY. 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."

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. C. P. has been quick to take The Gazette's suggestion, of several weeks ago, 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 council 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 Fernald 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 scandal, 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 Rev, Wm. A. Byrd. NO PREJUDICE IN FRANCE. No Stir Caused by the Apparance of Afro-American Soldiers at a Table in the Lafayette 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 capacious lounge, a big reading room, two real American bath tubs, barber shop and all the things to make the club comfortable and desirable. What things 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 her work in the field; the manager is a soldier with one leg permanently amputated; the lawers 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, saw that they drank water, and heard the conversation at the other time, ahead as if no strangers were with them. 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.

Colledee-Taylor's prelude to "Novo" was among the numbers played by the Royal Artillery band at a service for munition workers alive in the Cathedral, London, Lung, and at which the King and Queen were present. The court-marial of the officers of the Twenty-fourth Infantry and the punishment of the white civilians who incited the Houston, Texas, riot—only these things and the eventual pardon of the fifty or more soldiers sentenced to life imprisonment will satisfy Afro-Americans. More than the hundred white and colored men walked out of the American Car & Foundry Co., at Birmingham, Teen, near Memphis, for higher wages. The former were offered the prisoner refused it unless our men were given the same consideration. Since joining the union movement the wage of the Nero Infantry has increased 100 per cent. J. R.

Denison, who is our ranking officer on the active service list, in the American army, speaks in highest praise of the splendid work being accomplished abroad by our troops and says that his regiment (the former 8th Illinois) went direct from the training camp to the firing line, a confidence reposed in our boys by the filled high command, which since has been defiled by their deeds of valor.

Church—Dr. John M Henderson Returned—Entertains the Conference. Huntington, W. Va.—Rev. John M. 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 hollow church where the closing session of the conference were held. Because of the great interest 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. The evening attended, and both sessions of people 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 Virginia. It is expected the next centennial in May, 1520, will make 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.

The application is based on the claim that the court martial which tried the soldiers was summoned by order from the headquarters of the Southern Department of the Army, which the petition states, was not empowered to call such court martial.

Better pay some attention to the immorality of adults in Ward 11. That is the quickest and best way to stop immorality among the boys and girls of tender years. One of our boys at Camp Sherman writes: "Camp Sherman has a fairly good 'jim-crow' community house, which cannot be compared with the 'white' community house. Ourhs has no pool rooms, no shower baths, no music and no place to dance. It is nice but it could be improved to a very great extent. Mr. and Mrs. L. S. Jones of Ileu, Missouri, used their first letter from their son, Louia V. last Thursday morning. It was dated, Sept. 13, "somewhere in France." He was well and wanted to be remembered to everybody. His address is Pvt. L. V. Jones, 80th inf. Band, A. E. F., in France, via N. Y. City. He wants his friends to "write him the news." Walter Perzenski, 4306 Scovill Ave. died in Charity hospital, Wednesday, from a bullet wound in his right breast, received late Saturday night when a Negro, whose identity is unknown, held him up at E. 43d St. and Outhwaite Ave., as he was returning home. Posey, an old, sad man accosted him with a ver and demanded his money. He attacked the Negro, who then shot him and fled. The following appeared in the Cleveland Daily News, the first of the week: "Mrs. Helen Haywood, negress, was shot in the left side during an argument at her home, 1656 Hamilton Ave., Sunday. Lillian Wright, also a negress, who lives at the same address, was arrested." "Buck" and "negress" were terms applied to slaves in this country prior to 1865. Our local Federation of Women's Clubs ought to take up this matter with the managing editor of that paper and if possible stop the use of the insulting term.

Connors' pay is soon to be raised to $2,000 a year. He is also a candidate for one of the six additional superintendencies of the state free employment agencies soon to be established in this city. One is to be given to our people. WHOA! Brother Connors! You are going too fast. Mr Connors came to the city about a year ago from New York City to take the position he is holding. One salary at a time, Mr. Connors. That overwining desire is time and draw two salaries in a dangerous one and is what has not such a "crimp" in Editor (Wouldbe U. S. Army Captain) "Web" DuBois, another New Yorker for some years, who, too, vainly sought two salaries, recently—one as an editor and another as a captain. Last Saturday afternoon four boys in sailor 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 east to his ship. The other three were evidently members of the Naval Training group. All four were marines, the three white boys started in 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 "wigwagged" 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, and was not given. The white boys 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. Well, of course, the girl "no!" again THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OH 10, OCTOBER 19, 1918 THE ONLY CREAM THAT SATISFIES EVERYBODY FOR FACIAL OR BODY MASSAGE REA GREESLESS CREAM ONLY AT JACK A.

Holloway then escorted the much-insulted and chagrined U. 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, with him, bawled out the proposition, and asked 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. Many thanks to the many officials, the navy officials, they have done more to promote the warning morale of our people of this community, harmed so by that infamous photo play, "The Birth of a Nation," than they realize. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant, War Department, Washington, D. C., writes: "The War Department has not issued any instructions preventing Negro students from joining Student Army Training Corps at Ohio State University or any other institution. Any student mentally and physically qualified and accepted by the school officials is eligible for admittance into any Student Army organization."

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, but in the Caribbean in his superiority is bright and bombastic in his conduct whenever dealing with other Negro islanders; the Negro from Antigua actually scours the Negro from St. Kitts, and the same is true of other Negro islanders; each group possesses the same insular pride, each group secums 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 Negrees. Then they too, manifest that foolish insular pride among themselves. Negrees from St. Thomas are impressed with and appreciate their own importance and superiority and therefore 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.) Star. "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." State of Ohio, Executive Department, Columbus, O., Sept. 30, 1918. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Mr. Smith: In further con- nection with your recent letter con- cerning "The Birth of a Nation." I may inform you that after October 1, the picture will be withdrawn from showing in this state by the volu- tary action of the producers at the request of Governor Cox. Very truly yours, CHAS. E. MORRIS, Secretary to the Governor. Thank the Lord, and Gov. James M. Cox! Another great battle won by a little persistence, plenty of good hard work and some expense. We are very, very happy, thank you, and trust all of our readers, especially those who helped "The Old Reliable" Gazette to win the fight, will rejoice with us over this signal victory. 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 quitters," 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 $300, were made against "The Birth of a Nation." Then ALL "hid down, quit," because they did not succeed right away. Last week, "The Old Reliable" Gazette "turned the trick"—acquired the banishies of the vicious fire. Did the ministers' Alliance call any 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 excecled, so we understand. '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 congregations and do it, too, throughout Ohio, Ohio, 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 pennils in their standards of grading, are some of the conclusions reached by Dr. Bird T. Baldwin, professor of psychology and education in Swartmore 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 waste in education are (1) teaching things, at 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 Hew 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 1833, 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 surviving party got back to the parallel at a point south of Coffeville, says the Toneka Capital, leaving a triangular strip of ground in southeast Kansas that should have belonged to the Indian Territory. But the land laws have given it to Kansas "for keeps." CLEARS LAND OF BRUSHWOOD Machine Now Used to Open Way for the Agriculturist In certain sections of western Canada, brushwood and young timber covers whole areas in thick mats, making the district of little value for agriculture even the possessing a rich soil. To rid these regions of the incumbrance in a practical manner, a power enter has been invented intended to displace the older hand axe and kindred slow tools. A gasoline tractor furnishes the motive power and to its front end a sort of "low catcher" arrangement is fastened. On the front edges of this triangle shaped framework, lorg, sharp knives present razor edges. In going thin brush the long caterpillar wheels, on the tractor catch a firm grip in the soil and force the knife edge prow in among the rappings. The result is that they are sliced off neatly and smoothly close to the ground, leaving the soil in satisfactory condition for plowing. The machine also automatically piles the trees in neat windows. MINISTER PATENTS A DEVICE Invention Hulde Sheet or Book Before Topple Ever **Typist's Eye.** Rev. Gustav A. Welschaar of Brazil, India, 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. Rev. Welchaar 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 to one side of the typewriter and thus read the copy with desired speed. TO PREVENT WRECKS So Young Man of Waterloo, Iowa, Has It Patented—11 of 15 of Simple Formula Earl E. 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 Joliet, 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 desilinements, and last month a patent was issued for his invention. A number of manufacturers of railroad supplies immediately opened ingotations 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 demand, especially for railroad building in mountainous sections. INVENTS NEW GAS GENERATOR Especially Designed for lighting Farm Buildings A Puyallup, Wash., number and tinner has patented a farm gas 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 car-bike gas light. The inventor calls it the Artificial Sunlight Generator, because of the closeness with which the light approaches the quality of sunlight. 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 proceedings. I have never known anyone who has been so fortunate in this respect, not have I ever seen in print any account of the little rodent's proceedings or such an occasion. For several years, I have been an observer and an investigator of their little mounds of freshly dig 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 had fancied that the diggings was done at night, and that the earth was carried out to the dumping place in the cheek 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 grain of 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 was sued they had come. On three occasions I had found such freshly dig stones and they were all too deep for the opening that led to the chipmunk's den by what magic or sleight of hard had he got them out? From what I had seen one November after the earth had been frozen and then thawed once or twice, I concluded that the engineer had made a niche in the side of his hole just deep enough in the side room for the passage of these bread, flat stones, and then he packed it full of earth again. In one case where a red squirrel had apparently tried to force an entrance, such a niche 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 tampered with, and yet the dump of which held one or more stones larger than its diameter, 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 stone 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 scattered it along the roadway. This mystery of the holes that have no visible dump place I have not yet cleared up. Were there a woodchuck hole near any of them I might think that the loosened soil had been shunt into them. As the problem grants with me now, it is an insoluble mystery. A friend suggests, that like the Irishman, he probably dies another tale 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 Probable Spot Where Algonquins Held Sacrifice of White Dogs to Wipe Out Their Sins Authorities on Indian religies at Rochester, N. Y., are interested in the recent discovery on the shore of Owascoo Lake of Algonquin remains made by Arthur C. Parker, State 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 doz. Alvin H. Dewey who has probably the finest collection of Indian religies 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 relics 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, or crier would so 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 set, 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 Great Spirit to forgive their sins. At 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 Indians. NOVEL PACKAGE CABINET MADE Protects Gools From Removal by Persons on the Outside. Among new inventions recently patented is 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 oner door is a tray and when a bottle diaper 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 California. James A. Bront, who recently started an experimental plant at Sutter Creek, Cal., for treating the tails from the mines 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 plant 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. Bossonberger, a veterinary surgeon of Williams, Iowa, has just secured a patent upon such runners for buggies which may be easily and quickly clamped to the axe of a buggy. The runners are so arranged that they absorb 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 Contrivance for Use on Long Motor Trips. A company at Seattle, Wash., recently has placed on the market a novel hammock, a simple contrivance 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.
