On Nov. 18, the case came up for final hearing in Court of Common Pleas, it finding the defendant, the captain, guilty of arbitrarily and illegally maintained a separate High school for our children. The result is the board was perpetually enjoined from maintaining "a High school of color." The court further ruled that the High school students' status is below the law. This is a great victory us segregation in the elementary school can be gotten rid of easily now in the same way as that of the case just won. HURRAH!

Instead of being forced wholly upon ourselves to obey a law, we are constantly enabled in mixed schools to derive encouragement and stimulus from the other race's experiences. Such inter-racial association, too, has the result of acquainting the other race with our people in a closer and a more discriminating way, and gives us a standing of the difficulties with which both must content and the degree that they are being overcome.

Sheffield, Ala.—Twenty-four-indictments, charging first degree murder, were returned by the Colbert county grand jury, which adjourned, Dec. 24, 18. These indictments followed an investigation of the lynch-murders which took place here Nov. 40 and 41, 1915. The indictments Whitehites, colored, were killed. Wagrants have been sworn out and steps have been taken to round up the men indicted immediately. The men taken into custody include John Gibson, Tom Frecan, Charles Basken, Joe Fuller, Ellis and Green Nichols of Sheffield, Chief Deputy Sheriff Oscar Johnson and S. J. Campbell of Tucumbua, all "crackers" white. The indictments in connection with these lynchings were returned at a previous session of the grand jury. Frank Dillard and Jeff Jenkins of Sheffield, also "crackers," are both in jail awaiting trial on charges of taking part in the lynch-murders. It is understood that as soon as other arrests are made the prisoners will be held jail here will be distributed and coined in jails throughout the state. Names are being given out with reluctance.

With the American Army in France, Maita-Bily,飞 command, of General Martin, commanding the 92nd Division, (African-American), general orders have just been issued, commending the following members of the 365th Infantry for mentorious conduct in action at Bess Frehaut, near Fontainebleau, in France, and at Nets, Cant, John H.

White, John Simpson, Robert Towns, Earl Swanson, Elliot and Charles Jackson; corporals, Thomas B. Coleman, Albert Taylor, Charles Reed and James Conley; privates, Earl Swanson, Jesse Cole, James Hill, Charles, White and George Chaney. The following were cited for bravery in action: Sergeant Isaac B. Billy, Earl Swanson, Elliot and Charles Jackson at Lessons, both 366th Inf.; First Lieutenant, Edward Bates, 368th Ambulance Corps, and Sergent, Walter M. 366th Inf., for distinguished service near Homiville, Second Lieut. Nathane O. Goodlee, 368th Machine Gun Co., for excellent work and meritorious conduct. Also Tom Brown, a the 367th Inf. Batt. ("Buffalo") has been cited for Inf. Batt. and awarded the Criake de Guerre, thus entailing every officer and man in the Battalion to year this distinguished French decoration. In the 367th Division, 14 Afro-American officers for bravery for bravery in action and awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. A total of 57 citations for memorious service, with report from one brigade not yet in, is a splendid showing for this division. The total casualties, 1478. Among the killed were 6 officers. One officer and enlisted men died from it. The 367th division was "missing," 16 officers, and 543 men, wounded; 39 officers and 661 men, gassed. Considering the desperate advance the soldiers of this division made from Pont-a-Moussion the morning of Nov. 10, through a valley swept by the heavy German guns of Metz, the enlisted men were "missing," the casualty is slight. Officers could not hold them back, and the German guns and soldiers could not stop them. They plunged on to Preny and Pagny, and they rushed into the Bois Frechau and he'd, for 36 hours, after they took it this place from which picked Moroccan and Senegalese troops were driven. They had entered it. In spite of a murderous fire they remained there until hostilities ceased. Ralph W. Tyler- An Afro-American Saved the Day for "The Americans." Belfast, England.—The great American game, baseball, has at last been introduced here in a match game between the American Canadians andaders. An interesting thing about the game, which drew an immense crowd, was that an Afro-American, Lewis A. Mitchell, the celebrated trap drummer and "noise artist," saved the American nine from defeat. The Belfast Evening Telegraph's sifting editor, describing the game by innings, in replay, and in the final score, the American pitcher, Stanley, got injured, at which time the score stood 4 to 3 in favor of the Canadians, wrote as follows: "Seventh Inning—Canada was not long in before Stanley got a lightning return, and the ball split one of his pitchers, the Canadian Cappi Rd), who was one of the spectators, kindly came down at the call of the megaphone man, and Stanley went with him to the pavilion for treatment. Mr Mitchell (appearing at the Hippodrome in "The Seven Spades") took the injured pitcher's place in the diamond, and he was introduced to the New York Giants team. When the inning closed the score was still Canada.—America.3. "In the eighth inning Mitchell early showed his ability as a batsman, his first ball—a skier—nearly braining one of the unoffending pressmen." Despite the fact that Mitchell had no practice, being caught in as an amateur, he stole his street clothes, he held the Canadians down to one run for three innings he pitched, while the Americans, in the meantime adding 2 to their score caused the game to end a tie 5- to 5. Thus it was that Mitchell, who happened to be a spectator, and was the pitcher of a regular pitcher was injured, saved the U. S. from defeat by Canadians.

SATURDAY, JANUARY 21, 1910. We are determined to know nothing down here but the Damnigger and Him Terrified—Daily State Journal, Raleigh, N. C. This is the kind of an individual who says, "The damndutch (Germans), the dammicks (Irish), the damnheenys (Jews), the damnagos (Italians)," etc., etc. Additional comment unnecessary. We have been assured by those in a position to speak authoritatively that the infamous photoplay, "The Birth of a Nation," will again be out of the state in "ten days or two weeks." If it appears in your city or town, reader, please notify us promptly. An exchange says: "Emmett Scott gives sentiment of the race to Roosevelt's widow." He did nothing of the kind! There are thousands of members of this race of ours who have not forgotten "The Black Battalion" and our great and good friend, Senator Joseph Benson Foraker. Nor have they forgotten who "lynched" them both. Time-serving, truckling Negroes will please "take note." Press dispatches from Shreveport, La. Jan. 3, stated that a new order on the Texas & Pacific Ry., "allowing Negro passengers to eat in the dining cars after whites had been served," created a mild sensation among traffic chefs of all railroads terminating at New Orleans. Thus the Wilson administration's control of American railroads adds most aggravating insult to injury of the race. What next? The American people, in the years prior to the World War, invariably referred to the fact that Jan. 27 was former Kaiser Wilhelm's birthday when calling attention to McKinley's—Jan. 29. This year they seem to have forgotten the exiled former emperor. The reason, possibly, we remember it so well is that our birthday, Jan. 28, is between the two referred to. The Hog Island investigators hasten to tell us "that there is not the slightest evidence of criminality." If $63,000,000 could be spent where $21,000,000 was to be spent, with so little to show for it, maybe the investigators by looking for it, could then find evidence of criminally incompetent government management. The people are not patiently going to see $42,000,000 of the money they put up for government bonds buried in the Hog Island wallow and put up with the usual "they did the best they could under the circumstances." This phrase will usually be found to mean that somebody "did the people the best they could under the circumstances." Former President Taft recently applied for a passport, stating therein that he had accepted an invitation to deliver a speech in England on a League of Nations. In a letter to Mr. Taft, refusing him a passport, the state department said that it was not deemed advisable to have him go abroad at this time for the purpose designated, because it is well known that his views on the settlement of international questions do not coincide with those of the U. S. government. Afro-American delegates to the World's Peace Conference will do well to keep the treatment of Mr. Taft in mind. The richest joke of the season is the following from an exchange: "Councilman T. W. Fleming and Sydney B. Thompson, foreman in the street department, attended the state Republican legislative caucus in Columbus and were greatly instrumental in the appointment of Saford W. Evans of Washington C. H. as engrossing clerk in the senate, and John H. Fielding of Cincinnati as engrossing clerk in the house of representatives." When it is remembered that the delegation from this county is Democratic and that it did NOT vote for either Evans or Fielding, Republicans, it will at once be seen how "greatly instrumental" in their appointment (election) were Syd and Tom. As we predicted, several weeks ago, Fielding was elected engrossing clerk of the Ohio House of Representatives at the request of the only Afro-American member of the State Assembly—Legislator Beatty of Cincinnati. Cleveland Afro-Americans "cut no figure at all" in this result. The same is true of Evans' election to the enrolling clerkship of the State Senate. This was given to the member (white) of that body from the senatorial district in which is located Washington C. H. The attempt to give credit to Syd and Tom, which does not belong to them, is not justified by the facts in either case. "The Sixty-Sixth Congress will not convene until next December unless the President calls it," said Congressman Fess in his speech at the New York Republican Club. "Will he? I do not know. Nobody knows. If he believes that reconstruction is an executive function solely, the congress will be kept out of the way of one man's policy." We do not think that President Wilson will call a special session of congress. The mental processes of the president are autocratic. He mentally resents the co-ordination of the legislative branch of congress in government. Hence, he will seek to attempt to consummate all matters of reconstruction and readjustment without congressional influence until the imperative letter of the National Constitution brings congress into session. Congress comes from the people. The new congress came but recently. We doubt if the drawers of the constitution ever intended that the legislative branch should be eliminated, from participation in government, by executive will. If ever there was need of a special session it will be in the spring. There is much discussion as to the order in which the representatives of the various nations shall be seated at the peace table. The logical order would be the order in which their respective nations entered the war. Certainly the nations that answered, without hesitation, the call of humanity when the German monster attempted to overthrow civilization should have precedence at the peace table over the laggard nations that waited until the last moment to answer the call of duty to themselves and the world. This may jar some who think the glorious record made by our army and navy entitles us to the first place but much as we may want to forget it the world will never forget our cowardly evasion of duty in the early trying days of the war. This is in a measure atoned for by the record of our boys—brave beyond measure but unprepared as the casualty lists show—but in this regard our record is equalled by the record of our allies. It is our failure in diplomacy; our failure to effectively protest the murder of our women and children on high seas; our failure to promptly answer the call of humanity and take warning from the reports of our ambassadors as to the aim of Germany for world domination that puts us at a disadvantage at the peace table. It would be well for our delegates at the conference to confine themselves to American questions only and to securing redress for the wrongs done us by the central powers and let the Utopian schemes of academic dreamers wait until the central powers have fully atoned for the colossal crime of the ages. WON CROIX DE GUERRES Individual Mention of a Few of Our World War Heroes. New York City—George C. Lacy, formerly of the 15th New York Regiment, but now of the old 8th Illinois, was decorated by General Vincenond of the 59th French army, with the Croix de Guerre on Dec. 6, '18. Shelbyville, Ind.—Co-valent Albert Taylor, son of Mr. and Mrs. William Taylor of this city, has been decorated with the French Croix de Guerre for bravery in action. Princeton, Ind.—Second Lieutenant Aaron R. Fisher, 366th Infantry, cited for bravery by the War Department, is the son of Benjamin Fisher of Liesse, Illinois miles from Princeton. He has been a member of the regular army six years. His citation reads as follows: "For extraordinary heroism in action near Liesseux, France, Sept. 3, '18." The citation under which Corporal Isaac Valley, Girard, Kansas, received his D. S. C., stated that "a hand grenade was dropped among a group of soldiers in a trench, and when he might have saved himself by flight, he attempted to cover it with his foot and thereby protect his comrades. In the performance of this brave act he was severely wounded." Corporal Valley served three years in the Philippines. Hampton, Va.—One of our heroes recently awarded the Distinguished Science Cross is Thomas Henry Davis, 308th in the institute student. The citation for heroes follows: "For extraordinary heroism in action at Binarville, France, Sept. 5, 1918." THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JANUARY 21, 1919 UNDERGROUND DOINGS OF THE RACE J. E. Dickerson has been appointed an inspector of agriculture for South Carolina. There are only two Afro-American inspectors in that state. Dr. N. H. B. Cassell, president of the College of Liberia at Monrovia, is in this country in the interest of education for our people of West Africa. The N. A. A. C. P, claims to have 165 branches and 44,096 members in 38 states, the Philippines, Panama and a cannage, an increase for the year past of 58%. He is also a member members. During 1918, the association spent for its general work, $23,422.68 and for its anti-lynching work, $3,283.23. A special cable to the New York World, last week, from Paris told how 124 Afro-Americans had just been decorated by the French authorities for extraordinary heroism under fire, two members of the 371st and 372d Infantry Regiments. Four of them received the Medaille Militaire and the other the War Cross. The transport Oion, scheduled to reach New York, Jan. 20, has the second battalion and machine gun company, 367th infantry (92d Division), about 1,000 strong, and the first and third battalions and machine gun company, 369th infantry, and the first battalion and supply company, 370th infantry, both regiments of the 92d Division, have been assigned for early convoy. A resolution, adopted by the National Afro-American Congress that assists the Daughters of Diligence, C. last month, to elect delegates to World's Peace Conference, repudiated Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, who gave out an interview in Paris, recently, to the effect that "domestic (American) questions were subordinate in the peace conference." DuBois seems concerned only for "those German African colonies." In our opinion, the signs of Negro progress were never so unfavorable as they are today. The Negroes are enjoying better opportunities by far than they had heretofore. They are throwing them away. There can be no real freedom without economic freedom. The Negroes have been earning and are still earning, when they work, tremendous wages. They are flinging their money to the birds, and they are watching their chillie-like prodigality with a kind of grim satisfaction, knowing that when the Negro's three hundred or five hundred or thousand dollars has been wasted he will return to work. Every day of idleness is a loss to the man and to the community of $2.50 or more.—Columbia (S. C.) (daily). Fowler, Colo., Jan. 10, 1919. Hon. Harry C. Smith, Editor, The Gazette, Cleveland, O. Dear Friend: I saw in the Denver Star that you were still making a noble fight in defense of the race like you did when (many years ago) I lived in Cleveland. And since I so happily enjoyed faithful tine- less battles against race prejudice, I think it no more than right that I let you know it. My idea is to give their flowers while living. I am proud that I know you personally and my earnest prayer is that you may live many years more and that great success will follow your work. If you ever come this far west, I would be pleased to have you stop and see us, and if your dear mother still lives please remember me to her. I am sure that she, too, will remember "Cold-Blooded" Murder. Memphis, Teem—Joseph Morris of Alma St., while attempting to board a car with a package in each hand, recently, was struck in the face three times by R. E. Enright (white), causing blood to flow very freely. When Morris left the car the quarrel was sumed and Morris shot five times by Enright. He died instantly. Morris was known as a quiet and good citizen who was a kind and kind to the subdivision. Enright killed Morris because he got on the car before "white" people, it is claimed. This is "the real south." Had a "Hot Time." Washington, D. C.—The National Equal Rights League, which began what was to be a three days' session here, last month, lengthened it out to four days, with night sessions. It began in talk and confusion and was confusion and talk when it adjourned. At no time in the work of the congress, which contained two hundred delegates, did the chairman, Lawyer N. S. Trotter, control of it. Such work as was done in the confusion, with violent and incendiary addresses and remarks, was calculated to damage the good name and reputation of the race and to endanger the lives of thousands who would follow the talk to the logical conclusion indicated by the speakers, William Monroe Trotter, of Massachusetts, dominated the congress. T. Thos. Fortune. A Hot Cable To President Wilson. The Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League recently sent the following cablegram through its president, Mr. E. T.

The public is naturally prejudiced against any alterations of food products, yet in some cases, such as cream, the result is beneficial rather than detrimental. In some parts of the south, according to Science Conspectus, there are no dairy farms, and the table would be without cream were it not for a process of reconstruction. Dessicated milk is mixed with water and with butter from which the salt has been carefully washed out. The mixture is now forced through a machine called a homogenizer. By this process the butter fat is put back into the milk and delicious cream is thus obtained which cannot be distinguished in taste from the natural product. Ice cream makers employ a similar method in order to provide against inequalities of demand. On hot evenings there is a rush toward the ice cream parlor and to meet the greatly increased consumption the dealers draw on a supply of heavy cream which they have kept in a frozen condition. This frozen cream is thawed out, mixed with a proper proportion of milk, and put through the homogenizer. The homogenized mixture makes a sooner ice cream than the natural light cream, because, when the latter is frozen, much larger ice crystals are formed, which can be felt with the tongue. SEE INTERIOR OF STOMACH Doctors Do With Periscopic, Electric Light and Lenses. Newadays when the physician is called to examine a person who has something seriously wrong with the stomach he takes a look at the inside of that organ before deciding whether it is necessary to perform an operation or not. To see the inside of the stomach he makes use of a miniature periscopic similar in everything but size to that thru which the commander of a submarine gets his earrings. This instrument is a metal tube of small caliber containing an arrangement of mirrors and lenses and having a small electric light at the end. This is pushed down the throat of the patient. The light is turned on and the instrument is moved about until every part of the inner surface has been examined. The mirrors and lighting arrangement leave enough space in the tube for fine scalpels and forceps and scissors to be passed down through it. Thus the surgeon is able sometimes to perform delicate operations thru the tube and without cutting into the patient's abdomen. To the outer end of the instrument rubber bulbs are attached, and these are used for various purposes, according to the needs of the case. Four working parties which are building a railroad across Australia will be equipped with wireless apparatus so they can keep in touch with one another. John H.

Coffee Growing Business Also Is Reported Booming. Science and the semi-civilized Igorotes of the Philippines would hardly seem at first sight to go well together, but thanks to the bureaues of agriculture, science and education of Uncle Sam's trans-Pacific governments, they are being associated with most promising results. In recent years many of the Igorotes and other semi-civilized mountain peoples of the archipelago have been employed by the Philippine government in the building of roads, bridges and other public improvements in the mountain province, and the work has brought them comparative prosperity. These improvements are nearing completion, however, and the problem of furnishing the people with a means of livelihood when they are no longer needed as wage laborers is being taken up by the experts of the three government bureaues mentioned. The solution of the problem, according to the government experts, lies along three lines, agriculture, stock raising and silk culture. In the establishment of the industries on a firm basis, science, which is a conception beyond the reach of the minds of most of these untutored folk, is to be brought to their assistance by a government which, in so far as they are concerned, must be somewhat paternalistic if it is to stand for civilization. Steps that have already been taken point to gratifying success. Seed rice of a type carefully bred by the bureau of agriculture has been distributed to some extent and has resulted in yields five times as great as those from the rice of the sort usually grown. The government is also bringing back into existence the coffee growing industry among the Igorotes. The industry was wiped out by a plant blight before the American occupation and the natives have never been able to re-establish it. Now the bureau of agriculture is distributing a blight resistant type of coffee which is growing well. The bureau is also introducing new plants adapted to conditions among the Igorotes such as the mongo bean from India, American corn and a kind of sweet potato. Plans are well under way for introducing among the mountain people better bred horses, cattle and hogs. In the introduction of silk culture three bureaus are co-operating. The bureau of science is furnishing the worms, the bureau of agriculture the mulberry trees and the bureau of education teachers to explain the various phases of the work. The industry is established at several stations, and it is planned to spread it throughout the mountain province. LIGHTNING HURTS CROPS. Electric Discharges Injure Potatoes and Cotton. While everybody is familiar with the damage done by lightning to trees, lit he attention zas neretofo beep part to the effects of lightning-stroke upon herbs and plants. A recent paper by Messrs L. R. Jones and W. W. Gilbert reveals the fact that lightning injury is rather common in certain crops, especially cotton and potatoes. Grass-small grains and maize seem less liable to such damage. The lightning damage to cotton and potatoes frequently extends over roundish spots, one to three rods in diameter, or groups of smaller spots. Although there may be no disturbance of the soil or visible rupture of the plant tissues, the plants near the center of the spot wilt, blacken and die promptly, while those near the margin may live days or weeks. The injury for the most part appears first and worst below ground. All these facts seem to show that, after a period of dry weather, the lightning discharge spreads horizontally over the moist surface layer of soil. The different liability of different species appears to depend upon difference in tissue resistance or different distribution of the aerial or root systems of the plant within the zone of the discharge. TEARS BIG PIT IN EARTH. Eruption Rends Ground Widely Where New Well Was Sunk. Quite a remarkable earth eruption occurred near Sinton, Tex., after gas had been struck at a depth of 2,200 feet at a new well which was being sunk. When the stratum holding the gas was reached by a drill, the casing that lined the bore was blown for a considerable distance into the air by the terrific force of the flow. For approximately three weeks the well remained unscapped and the gas shot out in great volumes. Then, without warning, a hole seventy-five feet in diameter and extending presumably to the bottom of the original well, was blown in the earth. Almost immediately this fissure was filled to within 100 feet of the surface, with boiling water. All the well-drilling machinery disappeared in the great pit.-Popular Mechanics. The Oracle. It was right after the concert. The ladies were discussing the soloists who had made the occasion memorable. "I like Mrs. X. Y.

"She carried the chorus in grand style—and as for the real technic—" "Oh but she wasn't half so good as Miss P. D. Q. Her solo from 'Grumbino' was splendid, interrupted another, 'Miss X. Y. Z. was—" "Yes, but if you had put her with the chorus you would not have heard her voice at all. Not that it isn't good, I mean." "Well, I don't care what you think," answered the older woman. "I never did like Mrs. X. Y. Z, anyway. And did you notice how horribly her skirt hung!"

NONSKID BANANA PEEL New Triumph of Famous Burbank Farm According to a news item wired from San Francisco we are soon to have with us what one writer calls "the nonskid banana peel." The edible interior remains about the same as the ordinary kind, we are told, but the new covering presents a new boon to humanity that should make its discoverer famous if not wealthy. The genius who is said to be able to produce a nice large banana with a coat like sand paper is one Frederick Boeagle, employed at the Burbank experiment farm near Hayward, California. The discoverer of the so called "non skid peel," as a casing for the detectable contents guaranteed to be found inside, explains that the new fruit was obtained by crossing the ordinary banana with the cactus pear. Boeagle says the new fruit has the usual delicious taste of banana, but the peeling may be dropped on the sidewalk with perfect safety to pedestrians. If this is the precise case then the peeling must be "nonskid" on the inside as well as the outer, but this is not to be considered, says an expert as it is contrary to all horticultural laws, past or present. Therefore, he says, if the "nonskid peel" happens to be dropped with the "nonskid" side downward, then the same old, treacherous, greasy, deadly, never-failing calamitious thing will no doubt bring down its victims as it has always done since the Duke of Plazzatora, away back in the days and voyages of Christopher Columbus, discovered the banana and also the craftily laying of a strip of its covering in the way of Don Frijolo de Mounteback, he could rid himself of a powerful rival and thus get closer to the new world's discoverer as well as to the beautiful and charming Donna Isabella de Mendoza, back there in Spain. Dut time will tell. GOVERNMENT'S MOVIE SHOWS Department Busy Turning Out Varied Educational Films. The department of agriculture keeps up a special motion picture factory at which it makes the films it uses in promoting scientific farming. The department heads use the films to illustrate lectures, and the field force shows them at country schoolhouses and churches, where they have invariably attracted large and interested audiences. Even before the factory was set up various bureaucats of the department made use of films in educating the public. Thus, the bureau of animal industry had a special film to show southern farmers how to make and use the dipping vats that would free their herds of ticks. It also showed films that illustrated the correct ways of handling meat, breeding cattle and raising poultry. The good roads division and the forest service have made a similar effective use of motion pictures.

The dogs of Labrador are shot with sealskin shoes, which protect their feet from the sharp ice and enable them to draw much heavier loads. Doors of Opportunity Doors of Opportunity Everywhere in America men and women workers have the chance to "make good." Everywhere doors of opportunity swing open wide to let in those who can help the business world. ★ ★ ★ ★ Every business in order to be a success, in order to keep on and grow must make a profit. Therefore, the doors of opportunity are especially open to men and women who realize the value of money and understand how profits are built up. ★ ★ ★ ★ There is no better proof of a worker's ability to make a prot for a business house than the fact that he has made a profit for himself, on his own work, and has money in the bank. For running a business is simply doing on a large scale what every worker is already doing on a smaller scale. The principles are the same. ★ ★ ★ ★ If you know how to make a profit on yourself (you prove it by saving money out of your earnings.), you have "the business idea," and the business world not only wants your help but also it will broaden and multiply your opportunities to make more money for yourself. Business men have little respect for workers who are always broke. They regard such people as poor managers. Advancement is not for them. So, if you want the respect of business men, if you want self-respect, if you want to get on in the business world, save something every pav day and put it in a savings Bank or a Trust Company, where it will earn interest for you and grow. One dollar starts a savings account all your own. Advertisement issued by the Savings Banks and Trust Companies of Cleveland, and approved by the Federal Reserve Bank.

Mears WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN ONE DECADE WHAT'S BEEN DONE IN ONE DECADE INVENTIONS THAT HAVE REVO LUTIONIZED THE WORLD HERE RECORDED. Progress Has Been Rapid Since Eng ine Was Invented The most significant event in the annals of human achievement was the invention of the steam engine. Its introduction divided recorded time into two distinctly defined eras, and it may well be said that the entire history of man's material endeavors counts forward or backward from that comparatively recent event. As soon after this event as distracted civilization could be released from the stifling bondage of incessant warfare, the problem of applying this mighty energy to the needs of man began in earnest—with an energy, capacity and genius never ceasing and never before equaled. Thus was inaugurated the age of machinery, of invention, of industrialism—an age vitally different from all that precedes it, and during which the basis of society was more completely altered and the economic and political structure more fundamentally revolutionized than in all the preceding centuries of civilization put together. Of the ten decades which may be roughly stated as covering this notable period of development not one has failed to contribute its quota toward the sum of great inventive achievements. Each and every decade has seen the origin of some transcendent act for the advancement of material civilization. The decade most fraught with achievement up to the invention of the telephone was the 1840-1850 period, during which the reaper, vulcanization of rubber, sewing machine and telegraph were persecuted. These inventions, by far the most notable of the decade were all American, and marked the culmination of Yankee ingenuity. It is safe to assert that no other people in any equal short span of time can point to a record of accomplishments so marvelous and so revolutionizing, industrially and socially. The decade beginning with 1870 was also notable, the telephone, the dynamo and the arel lamp appeared and gave the first indications of the coming part electricity was to play in the affairs of mankind. But the ten years beginning with 1880 saw an outburst of inventive activity that dwarfed all similar periods in the history of invention. It seemed that the discoveries in things electrical in the last three or four years of the previous decades were the signal for loosening the pent up genius of the world. The trolley car which has changed the face of urban civilization; the in- Better start today. --- candescent right, with its more pow-erful and healthier glow and more adaptable use; the automobile, the most distinctive feature of our time; the typewriter, the most indispensable instrument in modern business; the skyscraper, the delineator of the new skyline of American business centers; and the cash register, that ubiquitous instrument and first aid to honesty- to pick out the most obvious of the innovations that proclaim the age- all of these came into being or were first whipped into shape in the ten pregnant years beginning with 1889. DOES AUTO AID HEALTH? It's Question of Many Sides, Says Physician. When motor cars took the place of horses everybody rejoiced to think that we were to have more spare time in which to give our minds and bodies recreation. After ten years of the motor car some of us pause to consider whether we are better off than before in health and enjoyment, or whether we are not rather the worse. We have had more time to spare, but many of us think that we are somewhat like the man who fell over the cliff, he reached the bottom more quickly, but was not good for much when he got there. Motor car users have discovered that even though their day's work is shortened, they are usually too tired to take advantage of the time they have. Motor cars have enabled many people to get through more work in a given time, but in doing this they have robbed mankind of one element which is a necessity as regards health: rest. "Rest is not a question of inaction or oblivion," says an Australian physician. "In order to save us from breaking down. Nature has interposed many interruptions in the course of our lives in the shape of hunger and the desire for sleep." NEW MOSQUITO ERADICATOR Electrically Charged Screen Lures Then to Death A genius of Jackson, Miss., has invented an electric motor which is to act as a mosquito exterminator. His plan is to have his motor revolve at just the right speed to make a humming noise like that of buzzing mosquitoes. That attracts all the insects in the neighborhood, and as the motor is surrounded with a met 1 screen charged with a powerful current, the mosquitoes alighting on it are instantly electrocuted. Don't cultivate the potatoes when out in bloom, or coming out, unless you want a lot of little tubers. Cultivate them before they get that big, and hoe them clean of weeds. Kerosene will soften boots and shoes that have been hardened by water and makes them as pliable as new.
