DAMMOND'S UNSPARING ANALYSIS DUBOIS, A DOCTOR OF GERMAN PHILOSOPHY THIRTY-SIXTH YEAR. No. 46. IN UNION IS STRENGTH ALASKA RICHEST SECTION OF WORLD COUNTRY IS WELL WATERED AND TIMBERED; EACH SETTLER GETS 320 ACRES Visitors Surprised at Lack of Hardship in Seeing Country A recent article in Leslie's Weekly speaks very enthusiastically of Alaska as a land of promise, says the Pathfinder. Here are some statements from it: "Alaska is the most misunderstood and misrepresented section of the United States. People generally, and sincerely believe that the name Alaska is synonymous with snow and ice and couple it accordingly with ice cream freezers and cold drinks. "Yet the principal cities of Alaska along its southern coast line—Juncau, Ketchikan, Cordova, Valdes and Seward—do not average as cold in midwinter as New York, and are sediment as cold as Baltimore and Washington during cold waves. "Alaska is one fifth the size of the whole United States, and its prodigious are of about 600,000 square miles, nearly three times the size of the German Empire, spreads from the temperate zone to the arctic circle. Not one quarter of it is in the latter. Below the circle lies a magnificent belt of fertile soil. "It is estimated by Government authorities that the agricultural area of of Alaska's fertile valley and plains, on many of which cattle can be wintered without feeding, aggregate 30,000 square miles with a climate like that of northern Europe—Norway, Finland and Sweden." "This land is richer and more productive than that of any other country in the world, well watered, fairly well timbered, and 320 acres are open free to the settler if he wishes to take up a homestead. "In the great central valley of Alaska the coldest days of winter are not as cold as reported from time to time in the prairie states of the United States, like Nebraska, Montana, and North Dakota. Stock raisers and farmers are going into Alaska on every steamer from Seattle to look the country over. They are equipped with the special government reports on Alaska that can be had without charge by writing to the department of agriculture and the department of the interior at Washington, or from any member of congress. "Visitors to Alaska are surprised at what they find when they reach the interior. Nor do they need to suffer hardship in making the trip, for first class steamship to the principle ports, with unusually reasonable rates, are running out from Seattle nearly every day and railroad and automobile lines to the interior are readily available. Nor is it necessary to go far, for every valley leading from the coast is waiting for the husbandman." People however, should not put too much faith in the rosette accounts given of Alaska, or any other new country. While there are many opportunities in such a country, there are also many failures made. Unless a person has some capital and knows what he is about, he is as likely to lose as to gain. There is always a large class of persons who are financially interested in booming new territory and getting people to settle and invest there, and the statements of such boosters should be carefully weighed before being acted on. Many people have spent large amounts of money and time roaming far afield in search of rainbow opportunities, when they could have done much better if they had seized some opportunity that was right at their door. It will be observed that very often those who are most active in booming a given country will not go there and live themselves. Alaska is destined to be an empire when properly developed, but those who go there should go with the full knowledge that they will have to work hard and put up with many privations. That territory wants genuine pioneers and not fortune hunters. PASTOR PATENTS SWITCHBOARD Now at Work on Device to Foll List teners The Rev. Rufus Turk, a small country church preacher at Detroit, a small town east of Abilene, Kan, has invented a telephone switchboard that has many advantages and improvements over the old ones now in use. With his invention the operator can connect all the phones in the city at once and also the switch plug ejects itself when the parties are thru talking. He has secured a patent on it. He has patents pending on another switchboard which would prove very practical in use. It will indicate when other parties are listening on a party line. He is working on other similar improvements.

YOUNGSTOWN.—The opposition of southern members of congress to the suffrage amendment was due to their fear of what our women might do with the ballot. It was purely a sectional attitude—by product of the policy being followed in most south-states of virtually disfranchising Afro-American voters. Efforts were made during the last days of the debate to circumcribe the authority of the amendment but happily without success.—Give the local agent your order for the Gazette and watch for our local news—letter, next week. board: J.

AMERICAN DEMOCRACY After the World War in Labor Organizations, Great Abolition of Colonization Chicago, Ill.—The Negro workers' advisory committee, on June 10, asked the American Federation of Labor convention to urge international unions to strike from their constitutions articles barring Afro-American members. "We believe these articles have constituted a serious obstacle in the Negro's industrial progress and have been the cause of misunderstanding between white and colored working men," said a telegram addressed to Samuel Gompers at the Atlantic City convention. Real Southern Democracy Richmond, Va.—Because of the seating of W. C. Page, a Newport News Afro-American, as a member of the executive committee of the Virginia Federation of Labor at its recent convention, 2,000 Richmond union men have just withdrawn from the state body. Good Ridance! No Truth in the Rumor Editor Gazette, Dear Friend:—A rumor that is being persistently circulated among our people connects my name with the principalship of one of our schools. This same unfounded rumor states that the school will have a corps of colored teachers. Please make an emphatic denial of the same. My attitude on race questions is too well known to make other comment necessary or desirable. No friend has instigated this report. Thank you. SARAH MITCHELL BAILEY Any person knowing the address of Roy Sehson, chauffeur, will do him a favor and oblige The Gazette greatly by sending it to us at once. MRS. MARY CHURCH TERRELL Washington, D.C.—The American delegation at the International Congress held in Switzerland, selected Mrs. Mary Church Terrell to represent them at the first public meeting held at Zurich. Mrs. Terrell was introduced by Miss Jane Addams of Chicago, and spoke on "The Negro Problem in America," in the largest church in that city, which was crowded to its fullest capacity and in which no woman had ever spoken before that night, May 15, 1919. Zurich is in German Switzerland, Mrs. Terrell's speech was mostly in German and at its conclusion she received a tremendous ovation. On the following day, May 16th, Mrs. Terrell offered the following resolution which was unanimously adopted by the Congress: "We believe no human being should be deprived of an education, prevented from earning a living, debarred from any legitimate pursuit in which he wishes to engage or be subjected to any humiliation on account of race or color. We recommend that members of this Congress should do everything in their power to abrogate laws and customs which lead to discrimination against human beings on account of race or color." Jeannette Carter. WARREN G. HARDING. SENATOR HARDING'S REPLY United States Washington, D. C., June 11, 1919. Hon. Joseph C. Manning, New York City. My dear Mr. Manning:—Permit this tardy acknowledgment of your note of June 6th, together with a clipping from The Cleveland (O.) Gazette, in which you so forcefully express yourself regarding the insincerity of many things said by the present national administration. Much of a high-sounding nature has been said about warfare for democracy, but no one can pretend we are not solely free in establishing a nobly free society in our own United States. It will be the greatest political injustice of the times if we are to contemplate a situation under which the brave colored men of the South took such valient part in the winning of the war and return to conditions under which they are denied the right of franchise as American citizens. Yours very truly, W. G. HARDING. CHEEKS' TRIAL POSTPONED! St. Paul, Minn.—Dr. Cheeks, dentist's trial has again been postponed. It was scheduled for May 29 and has now been assigned to August 29, 1919. Meantime, wife No. 2 has left him and gone to her mother and he has applied for a divorce from wife No. 1, it is said. Cheeks was a former resident of Cleveland where he has a number of relatives. OUR LESSON We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours. —George W. Blount. Unsoldierly and Non-gentlemen They Infest the A. E. F.—Will African Victims of Germans Enjoy the Blessing of International Persecution? By William H. Dammond. William DuBois, Doctor of German Philosophy, continues sedulously to strive, and segregiously succeeds in his effort, to live down to the level of that exposed, discredited, semirational school of sophism. He who will read the Crisis editorial which first advertised Dr. DuBois as a debutant in race tracey may profitably read also the editors of the same journal of ten months later. Jointly the two and the intervening editions evince the reason why many of the erstwhile supporters of DuBois tomb in possession from duBois loathing in their demeanor to him, who having risen toward fame, elected instead to settle in lucrative, stultifying notority. Given two trusts assailed, the one impregnably protected, the other almost utterly undefended, who could preach to "the multitudes," "forget the slaughter of the undefended--forget during the time when the murdering is going on." A Negro, who has deviated from education into Hohenzollem--dictated "philosophy"; but he has thus preached only to hear withering, sweeping condemnation from a nation-wide chorus of the New Negro school. It is a very pressing question to me, but would be a pure academic query to a consistent Dr. DuBois, as to whether the Negro assistant secretary of war was aware of the fact that the corps of officers of the American Expeditionary Force has been infested with a disreputable gang of unsoldierly, dishonorable, dishonest white American non-gentlemen. Obviously, the complaints upon which is based Dr. DuBois' criticism is, not the alleged mistreatment of Americans of all races but the brutal proscription, repression, robbery inflicted upon Negro soldiers exclusively. Dr. DuBois disqualified himself from criticizing any apathy if there be apathy—of Mr. Emmet Scott. Of what is Mr. Scott accused, according to the plainest kind of nuendos which Dr. DuBois has adduced? Dr. DuBois accuses Mr. Scott of refraining from pressing "our special grievances." In other words, Dr. DuBois accuses Mr. Scott of practicing precisely what Dr. Du- DOINGS OF THE RACE Those of our musicians and artists who met in Washington, D.C., in May, prepared for a national meet in Chicago, July 29, 30, 31. Jack Johnson is said to have gone into the real-estate business, in Mexico City, with a view of promoting the emigration of our people to Mexico. Phil H. Brown, editor of the Hopkinsonville (Ky.) Saturday News, a native of Ohio, has been appointed an assistant librarian in the Congressional library, Washington, D. C. Salary, $2800. Herbert Wright, trap drummer of the 369th Inf. band, who stabbed and fatally wounded Lieut. James Reese Europe on May 11, at Mechanic hall, Boston, Mass., was sentenced, last Tuesday, to the State Prison for not more than fifteen years nor less than ten years. A (southern) prejudiced American officer killed Eugene Bullard of Chicago, an Afro-American member of the French Foreign Legion and an aviator, because he accidently "bumped into him" outside a Paris, France, cafe, May 25. The War Department has been asked to investigate. The French undoubtedly will. The Louisiana Legislature has appropriated $25,000 for a new building the state normal school for our students to meet $25,000 of the general education board; and the state superintendent of education of North Carolina announces as the aim of his department a high school for our boys and girls in every county of the State. There are already fourteen county training schools for our teachers in North Carolina, and seventy-three in the entire South. Last year there were fifty-four, and their usefulness was so demonstrated that the county boards of education gave $132,000 for their support against $45,000 by the Jeanes Fund and the general education board combined. With two suitors ardently claiming her hand, Mrs. Leilia Walker Robinson, Bois preaches! Unhappy indeed is he who would follow the precepts of a pseudo-philosopher. On the American Negro is devolved the dual obligation of subdinating our "domestic matter" to nothing and of subdinating no more our duty to helpless, persecuted Negro men, women and children in the city of New York, by program positively, the duty of the American Negro is vigorously to press our domestic crusade for our rights. No less is it the duty of the American Negro to antagonize Dr. DuBois' program concerning the black population formerly dominated by the Prussian dynasty. It is our duty to carry on a propaganda against cursing the hapless Negroes, of the former German colonies, by a class of international plunderers who are traditionally no less rapacious, no less antagonistic to Negro development than the Prussian militarists, exploiters, persecutors are. daughter of the late Mme. C. J. Walker, obeyed the promptings of her heart and on Friday, June 6, just three days after the burial of her mother, became the bride of Dr. Wey Wilson, president of Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., as an interne. The government is building 24 villages in the South for its Afro-American workers. There are to be 6,000 houses and 64 apartments or dormitories—to house over 35,000. The N. Y. City Board of the Y. W. C. A. has purchased the property at 200 W. 137th St., that city for a hotel for our girls. Purchase price $45.00. After alterations are made it will have 57 rooms and accommodate 95 persons. Rooms to be rented for from $2.50 to $5 a week. Transients will be charged 50 cents to $1 an evening. The hotel opens about July 1. WILBERFORCE PLANS SOUVENIR WAR BULLETIN. Wilberforce University is collecting data for the preparation of a bulletin which will be designed to give a detailed record of the part taken by its alumni and former students in the World War. The bulletin will be issued in bound form, and is planned to constitute a permanent record of the University's participation in the War. All former students and alumni of the institution who saw service at home during war who participated in War-time activities will correspond with Supt. William A. Joiner, Wilberforce, Ohio, with the view of supplying information about themselves or others to be included in this, the first permanent record planned by a Negro school—Adv. Johnson Broke His Jaw-Bone Speaking to Jess Willard, the other day in Toledo, about Jack Dempsey and their forthcoming fight in Toledo, a reporter said: "Perhaps he'll clip you on the jaw." "I expect he will, but if he figures that a clip on the jaw is going to win for him he may suffer a great disappointment. Jack Johnson hit me on the jaw—on every part of the jaw. But he never dropped me. And Jack hit hard. One wallop carried such crushing force that it broke my jaw. I did that. I was taught to convince a few skepties that I can take some beating, shouldn't it?" DARE TO DO YOUR DUTY "Let us have faith that right makes might, and in that faith let us to the end dare to do our duty as we understand it."—Abraham Lincoln. IN UNION IS STRONG SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS OSOPHY NUMEROUS PEOPLE MAKE ODD VOWS MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE OFFERED FOOLISH WAGERS AND STUCK TO THEM Some Make Sights of Themselves by Pushing Peanuts Around Man in a strange creature, with many queer notions and idiosyncrasies. If this is denied how can some of his habits and actions be accounted for? Take for example those who take vows and make wagers to do foolish and unusual things; it is not unusual to read of men who have carried about with them about a quarter of a century's growth of hirsute adornment in payment of a wager concerning the outcome of an election or something of a similar nature. Also they sometimes make spectacles of themselves by pushing a peanut with a stick over the streets of a city, by traveling overland with a donkey in tow or perhaps by furnishing motive power for a wheelbarrow in payment of a bet. It really seems, that there is no limit to human foolishness and perverseness. A number of years ago a California man was taken with a serious illness and as the disease progressed there was grave danger that he would be totally blind for the remainder of his days, even if he should recover his health. His wife, an exceptionally pious woman, solemnly vowed that if he got well and retained his sight she would crawl on her hands and knees once a year to a neighboring church. The man recovered and once each year since that time his wife has faithfully kept her vow, laboriously traveling on all four to the church. Inspired with an intense dislike for women a crabbed old bachelor once vowed that so long as he should live he would not allow his eyes to fall on the face of one of the opposite sex. He had a high wall built about his home where he remained day and night, allowing no one but men on the premises. When houses were built on land adjacent to his he resploughed his estate covered with an opaque root and lighted artificially. To the end of his days he kept his vow to the letter. Not long ago a man in Brussels took a solemn vow to make a tour of the world walking backward. Another follicle maker of vows swore that he would himself no rest until he could walk on the ceiling like a fly. He adhered to his purpose so tenaciously that he finally lost his reason. OHIO PROFESSOR ISSUES CALL FOR LIVE BEDBUGS Offers to Pay Dime a Hundred for Prof. P. B. Wiltberger of the Ohio State University started the good people of Columbus the other day by announcing that if any one happens to have a hundred live-er-bedbugs handy and is willing to admit it, he will pay a dime for them. Professor Wiltberger believes they transmit trouble much as the Southern mosquito was shown to have transmitted the yellow peril. The existence of this new market for the little pests was disclosed to fond Columbus fathers and mothers recently when they heard their little boys talk of taking advantage of it. Others saw the professors' ad in the local papers: Wanted—Live bedbugs for experimental purposes. Will pay 10 cents a hundred. Bring to Ohio State University—P. B. Wiltberger. Professor Wiltberger's interest in the wingless, hemipterous insect familiar to him as a cimex lectularius was occasioned, he explained by the "peculiar ferocity of those found in certain hostelries." Some idea of the sort of nights the professor passed in these places may be gotten from his statement that "while giving a series of lectures in an eastern state" his trips brought him "into such close contact with the pests" that he decided "the mission in life is worse than commonly supposed." The professor said that such things pre scarce in Columbus. When he decided to study the bug, the professor went from door to door asking strangers to search and see if they had any. He says they not only considered him a worse bug than the variety he sought, but "evinced pronounced hostility at my suggestion that there might be some in the house." In despair at last the professor went peering thru the vacant houses he could find. The net catch of his hunt was only three live, adult gentleman bugs. So now he's advertising. He wants to give the bug its place in medicine. He has quite a family of young and old gentlemen in minute glass houses now, but he wants some more, preferably not gentlemen. He says, however, that he finds the gentlemen reasonably content so long as he keeps them supplied with a sum The GAZETTE PUBLISHED EVERY SATURDAY One Year ..... $1.50 Six Months ..... 1.00 Three months ..... 500 Subscribers are requested to remit by postoffice money order or reg- istered letter Entered at the postoffice in Cleveland, Ohio, as second-class mail matter.

SATURDAY, JUNE 21, 1919 The New York Sun has been "holling" like an Indian for a week because after it had the enterprise to get a copy of the peace' treaty the censorship would not permit it to be cabled across to America. Who said there was no longer a censorship? Some loyal, courageous member of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P. should demand a report of the amounts paid Shillady, DuBois, White Johnson and other national officers. The public, and especially the members, have a right to know what salary each one of them is paid. The residential segregation, started in Chicago as a result of the establishment of its "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. some years ago, is being promoted with bombs. Mrs. Gertrude Harrison's beautiful home, 4807 Grand Blvd., in an exclusive section of that city, has been bombed twice in the last three weeks. Early last year our people of that city had to appeal to the governor of Illinois for assistance in their fight against separate schools. This demand upon the part of prejudiced whites of the "Windy City," like the Hyde Park Realty (Prejudiced) Association, also grew out of the establishment of the Chicago "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. Some weeks ago the local daily papers announced that the bath-house to be erected in the Central Ave. district was to cost $45,000. The City Clerk's office told The Gazette over the 'phone, Wednesday afternoon, that the City Council had appropriated $50,000 for it. That is only one-half of the $100,000 claimed for it by certain individuals. The same kind of bath house—with the same number of showers, etc.—is being built out St. Clair Ave. near E. 67th St., for whites, but it is to cost very near three times as much as the one being built in the Central Ave. district. And Coucailman Tom Fleming stood for this! Not a word of protest did he utter before or after. Lord, have mercy! NOT A POLITICAL ISSUE Here is a brief extract from Senator Johnson's really able speech on the League of Nations, as it now is: "In a word, Mr. President, this league means that American boys shall police the world; that all the tottering nations of the earth shall be upheld by our blood and our bone; that Asia and Africa may draw on us in their every dispute and quarrel; that our nation will be at the mercy of European and Japanese diplomats who never had and never will have any sympathy with our aspirations or ideals; that we wish our glorious past shall guarantee the territorial integrity of every country on earth and the bondage of every suffering people for anguish, begging for freedom; that we destroy our Monroe Doctrine and submit controversies on the American hemisphere to determination by foreign powers. "It means that I must abandon the lessons of my youth, which until this moment have been those of my manhood, of American ideals, American principles and American patriotism; that I must deny the Americanism I taught my children and that under God's blessing I hope to teach my grandchildren. It means the halting and betrayal of new world liberalism, the triumph of old world secret diplomacy; the elimination and end of American idealism. "Certain partisan gentlemen have of late been making the issue partisan. For one I make the issue with them. It is not one political party or the other. The issue is the republic, the republic that Washington gave us, that Lincoln saved for us, whose traditions and ideals have been so gloriously upheld by our valiant sons abroad. The issue is American. And I am an American." Senator Hiram Johnson will make of himself a formidable candidate for the Republican nomination for President if he is not more careful. Is he broad-minded on the race question? Who of our people in California, who know, will answer this question? PROF. BRUCE IN A NEW ROLE! In reply to our letter, quoting him rates on the publication of the four closely type-written pages of the "Bruce Case" letter sent to The Gazette, last week, by his friend, Dr. Geo H. Richardson of Washington, D. C., Prof. Roscoe C. Bruce, assistant superintendent of the public schools of that city, wrote us under date, June 14, 1919, as follows: "In response to your letter let me say that I do not advertise," etc. And yet he was willing that the race press be "worked" for about $25 worth of advertising which he felt of sufficient importance to have sent to our poor struggling newspapers (by Dr. Richardson) with a request that "fifty copies" of the issue containing the "Bruce Case Statement" be sent to him (Richardson) who promised to "send a check or money-order for the same, by return mail." Further comment unnecessary, especially in view of the republication of the following from our last issue: Our papers are publishing gratis entirely too much "paid matter" and ought to stop it, especially in view of the greatly increased cost of everything that enters into the printing and publishing business. Last week, The Gazette received a long statement, with numerous signers, in behalf of Assist. Supt. Roscoe C. Bruce of Washington, D. C., which we have refused to publish unless it is paid for. Prof. Bruce is abundantly able to do so, too. Certainly, he is far more able to pay for its publication than our papers are to stand the cost of the same. This is equally true of much of the "copy" sent to the race press by Sec. Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P., the official publication of which, the Crisis, does not even "exchange" with most of our papers. And much of that publication's contents each month, is a "rehash" culled from race papers. "Put on the brakes," confreres, and "jam them down hard." You, too, "need the money" a la DuBois (and that captaincy in the Intelligence Bureau of the War Department.) ONE MILLION DOLLARS Madam C. J. Walker Leaves That Amount to Individuals, Organizations and Charities Indianapolis, Ind.-The will of the late Sarah Walker, whose business name was Mme. C. J. Walker, was offered for probate here this week, the instrument disposing of valuable personal property and real estate valued at $1,000,000. Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson is made residuary legatee and executrix. All of Mme. Walker's real and personal property, including monies in banks, automobiles, household goods in her residence at Villa Lewaro, Irvington-on-Hudson, and also the villa are left to the daughter. The will directs that the business known as the Mme. C. J. Walker Manufacturing Company and the income derived therefrom shall go to the daughter, Lelia Walker Robinson, with the exception of a provision for the creation of two trust funds of $100, 600 each to be invested by the trustees and the proceeds of one to go for worthy charities and the other for the upkeep and maintenance of her Livingep property, which she desires to stand as a monument to her memory. A provision is made for the appointment of trustees by the judge of the proper court, who are given certain discretionary powers as to the disposition of the Villa Lewaro after the death of Mrs. Lelia Walker Robinson. Following are other bequests made by the testatrix: Alice P. Kelly, forelady, $10,000 and a life position with the Mme. C. J.

SHARE IN THE VICTORY SAVE FOR YOUR COUNTRY W.S.S SAVE FOR YOURSELF BVY WAR SAVINGS STAMPS HARVELL COTIN "THE APPEAL OF VICTORY FOR THRIFT" The first of the new Government posters designed to encourage thrift in the United States is being distributed by the Savings Division of the Treasury Department. The poster is the work of the noted artist Haskell Coffin, whose war posters figured in many of the Government war drives. The painting represents a winged Victory, with lowered sword, bearing in her up-raised hand a branch of palm. The painting is an artist's protest against the ugliness and horror of war, and represents his conception of the beauty and tenderness of peace. The picture bears the legend: "Share in the victory, save for your Country, MINERS' SAFETY LAMP DATES DACK 100 YEARS Invented by Sir Humphrey Davy of England—George Stephenson Davy's Rival Over one hundred years ago on the 9th day of January 1815 the first safety lamp shed its beams in the dark recesses of a coal pit. The miners lamp of today is a great improvement on the lamp of 100 years ago, but that lamp brought security and safety to the miner that he had never before known. Sir Humphrey Davy, although he felt well grounded in his reliance upon the scientific correctness of his invention, had never descended a coal pit to make the trial The Rev. John Hodgson, rector of Jarrow, a mining neighborhood near newcastle, England, determined to do this for him. Before Davy's invention miners, when working in foul air, were in the habit of lighting themselves by a disk of steel which revolved in contact with a piece of film. This arrangement, the fairy safe, gave very little light. Davy found the records of enclosing the flame in a kind of lanten of wire gauze capable of giving out light without causing an explosion. Provided with one of Davy's lamps Mr. Hodgson descended into a pit walked about in an atmosphere of firedamp or explosive gas, held the lamp high and tow and gait it became full of blazing gas without being followed by an explosion. He approached a minor working by the spark of light of the flint lamp. This man had not the slightest knowledge that such a wonder as Davy's lamp was in existence. He was alone in an atmosphere which he knew was one of great danger. When he saw the light approaching, apparently a candle burning openly, he cried out: "Put out that light!" The light caree nearer and nearer. The miner began to imprecate the crazy comrade, for so he supposed the oncoming person to be, who was tempting death in so rash and certain a way. At last there stood before him a grave faced cleggman silently exulting in the success of the new lighting appliance which insured the future safety of the pitman from firedamp. While Davy was at work upon his lamp, George Stephenson, the great inventor was endeavoring to attain a like result. His lamp, much like Davy's was first tried in the Killingworth pit near Newcastle Nov. 30, 1816. This lamp was called the "Geordy." No one doubts that both Davy and Stephenson invented the original safety lamp quite independently of each other, the throughout the years 1816 and 1817 a fierce lamp war raged, the friends of each inventor accusing the other of stealing fame. UNIFORM SAFETY SIGNALS TO END GRADE DANGERS American Railway Association Recommends Standard System to Protect the Public Specific standards for protecting grade crossings, to apply to every crossing in the United States, were adopted at the semiannual meeting of the American Railway Association in New York. The special committee on prevention of accidents at grade crossings was authorized to meet with a committee of the National Association of Railway commissioners and to join with them in recommending standards to be followed in the protection of grade crossings and to secure legislation. save for yourself. Buy War Savings Stamps." "It was my desire," said Mr. Coffin, "to draw a Victory with sweetness and tenderness, emerging triumphant from conflict in a noble cause. I sought to make a lyric painting, to be used in some constructive movement. I did not want to do a vain and glorious Victory, rejoicing in death and horror. I am delighted that this picture is to be used by the Government to further thrift." There is also a story back of the palm of peace. Mr. Coffin went to a florist's shop to purchase this palm, but when the florist learned to what use it was to be told the refused to accept any money for the branch, saying that he gladly contributed it to so important a cause. tion in all the states requiring compliance with such standards. The Association adopted five specific practices which will be recommended for adoption by public service commissions and other properly constituted authorities. These standards cover: Uniform approach warning signs. Uniform color of light for night indication. Uniform use of a circular disc, approximating 16 inches in diameter, with the word "Stop" painted thereon in large letters instead of the varicolored flags which are now in use by crossing watchmen or flagmen. Uniform painting of crossing gates alternate diagonal stripes of black and white (somewhat like a barber's pole). Uniform rules governing crossings matchmen or flagmen while controlling or regulating street or highway traffic. The report of the special committee that made these recommendations to the association stated that accidents at crossings have decreased 1,000 per cent in the last five years in some parts of the country. This has been due largely to the increased use of the automobile. The "caution approach" sign will serve to remind drivers that there is a railway crossing four or five hundred feet ahead. At night the same color light will be used at all crossings, so that there may be no misunstanding as to the meaning of such signals. The Thrifty Scot "Can you oblige me with a light?" said a Scotman, as he bit off the end of a cigar and looked arround a smoking carriage on the Great Northern Railway. One traveler produced an empty box with apologies; another said he didn't smoke and didn't carry matches. "Can ye give a light?" repeated the Scotman to the third, who stolidly looked out of the window. Then the Scotman's finger went reluctantly in to his own pocket. "Weel, weel," he murmured. "Till just need to tak' an o' my aim." Scriptures at Stockholm Written on 300 Asses' Skins The Devil's bible is in the Royal Palace library of Stockholm, Sweden. It is a huge copy of the scriptures, written upon 300 prepared asses' skins. One tradition declares it took 500 years, or from the eighteth to the thirteenth century, to make the copy, which is so large it has a table to itself. Another tradition affirms the work was done in a single night by a monk, with the assistance of his satinic majesty, who, when the work was completed, gave the monk a picture of himself for the frontispiece, where amid illuminated incantations, it is still to be seen: hence the name. This marvelous manuscript was carried off by the Swedes during the thirteenth years war from a convent in Prague. - Tit-Bits. A Poor Judge An Irishman taking home a large goose stopped at an inn to get some refreshment. Putting down the goose he was proceeding to satisfy his thirst when a seedy looking individual, seeing the bird, made off with it. Pat at once gave chase, and sealing the man by the neck examined: "What did ye take the bird for?" "Sure," said the seedy one, "I took it for a lark." "Didye?" said Pat.

The danger of the transmission of disease in swimming pools is becoming realized more prominently with the growing popularity of these institutions. The management of public baths in such a way as to guarantee a satisfactory degree of sanitary safety has raised a series of questions involving, construction, equipment, water source and supply and personal hygiene. Calcium hypochlorite has been highly recommended for disinfecting, and has been adopted for many pools. Its efficiency as a disinfectant for the water is not doubled; its use, however gives rise to frequent complaints on account of the disagreeable odor attending it. This has led to much experimentation in search of an equally efficient and less offensive substitute. The difficulties here referred to are decidedly greater in connection with public water supplies. For the treatment of the latter, more than two parts per million of hypochlorite are seldom necessary. Even with this small proportion aeration of the drinking water is necessary to overcome the objectionable taste and odor. In the case of the swimming pool, this feature is aggrivated by the fact that three parts of the hypochlorite per million are necessary to sterilize the water. Aeration in such cases merely serves to release the odor from the water into the inclosed room surrounding the pool. In tests conducted recently at the Taylor gymnasium pool at Lehigh university, South Bettlehem, Fa., encouraging results have been secured by the employment of copper sulphate in the place of calcium hypochlorite. The advantage of copper sulphate over calcium hypochlorite as a disinfectant for swimming pools is that it does not undergo chemical change readily. Hypochlorite owes its power to the chemical reactions involved in liberating chlorin, whereby it is converted into useless product. Copper sulphate is not irritating to the eyes and mucous membranes, as the hypochlorite may be when used in germicidal quantities. It is cheaper and has no odor. If all other conditions were equal, the last fact alone would prove to be a great advantage—Journal of the American Medical Association. MUZZLE FOR BARBERS, VIRGINIAN'S DEVICE Does Away With Interchange of Breath—Placed Over the Mouth and Nostrils In the tonsorial胁 the barber is obliged to lean his head directly over the face of his customer, thus necessitating the very obnoxious and dangerous interchange of breath, which is disagreeable as well as dangerous to all the parties concerned. The object of a recent device by a Richmond, Va., inventor is to provide an instantly ad adjustable shield to cover the mouth and nostrils of barbers, dentists, surgeons, nurses and others whose work necessitates their leaning over face or affected part of a customer or patient, thus saving both parties from the necessity of inhaling the breath of one another, which is not only exceedingly disagreeable, but often the cause of spreading disease germs. The shield is made of some suitable composition and of a shape which enables it to fit tightly over the mouth and nose with the openings at the side so that the exhalations and inhalations are diverted so that two persons in close relationship would not be likely to get each other's germs. The device has attracted much interest among barbers of Richmond. The wearing of such a device would be quite an innovation and give the barber the appearance of a warrior in the trenches protected against deadly gas bomb fumes. INVENTS CHINESE ALPHABET Only 56 Characters in Oriental Educa tor's Scheme Dr. T. P. Lam, a distinguished Chinese scholar, sailed from San Francisco to the other day, on his way to China to submit an alphabet of 56 characters intended to revolutionize the written language of China. Dr. Lam also has devised a telegraphic code of dots and dashes to be used in connection therewith. His system, he said, proved practical in a test given in the Chinese schools, he was led to devise the alphabet, he said, because China's present written language was so cumbersome that it troved a handicap in a fast moving world. His alphabet, he said, could be placed on a ltype type and adapted to the typewriter. For six years Dr. Lam has been as sociate professor of Oriental language and literature in the University of London.

CLOSE TAB ON WORKMEN IS KEPT BY NEW CLOCK Swiss Invention, Similar to Stop Watch, Expected in Increase Factory Efficiency A new watch has a number of interesting and valuable functions, but it will not tell the time. It is of Swiss origin and manufacture and is a close relative to the stop watch, which was originally designed for use on the race track, but this piece is designed for more practical uses, as it is meant to comprise part of the equipment of the factory and industrial establishment where it is desired to secure reliable data as to cost and time of various mechanical operations. The old fashioned stop watch anewed this purpose for a long time, but its use detailed a rather prolonged computation with pencil and paper to arrive at the result of output per hour or day. The dial of the new watch is divided into tenths and hundredths of minutes and also contains figures spaced two hundredths of a minute apart and distinctly legible that indicate at any point of elapsed time exactly what the corresponding output per hour is. For instance, if it requires .76 of a minute to perform one operation, as shown by the stopping of the large hand, the reading 78.9 directly under it is the corresponding output per hour. Accurate tabs may be kept on an employee who loafs at his task or wastes his energy in unnecessary movements. Assuming that an employee performs a certain task in an elapsed time of 11 minutes, the observer will follow this with a second checking and will stop the watch during the fraction of the minute during which the employee loafs or wastes time. The result will be the actual time required for the work with ordinary application on the part of the operative and the difference will be the time lost or wasted. A gigantic megaphone for announcing the arrival and departure of trains at the Pennsylvania Railroad's terminal in Washington, D. C. has been developed to such a degree of success that sounds emitted by it reach clearly to every corner of the huge station, despite the fact that the announcer is not required to raise his voice much higher than an ordinary conversational tone. The megaphone which is mounted on a high wooden platform, is interesting, not only because of its gigantic proportions—for two men could crawl inside and hide comfortably—but also because it is the culmination of a great many painstaking experiments. Probably the most important discovery in connection with all the devices tried was that a flat horn carries sound with fuller volume and less distortion than a round horn of the same general proportions. Accordingly, a huge flat megaphone was built and a number of smaller horns were secured within it, all being controlled by a single mouth piece. As it new stands it contains no inner megaphones. Long iron wires have been attached, extending from near the mouthpiece to beyond the end of the horn. Their purpose is to prevent echoing, and to purify and clarify the sound. The giant megaphone measures ten feet four inches across the large opening and eight feet in length. TANGO CAUSED BY BUG THAT BUZZES IN EAR Dancing The secret of the dance craze has been unearthed. It's the "dance bug" and has been discovered by W. B. Herms, professor of parisitology at the University of California. He calls it the spynose nymph. Such a curious little insect with such a peculiar little effect has never before been heard of in the scientific world. For several farmers of California and other sub-tropical parts of the United States have been both ered by the strange and unaccountable antics of their cattle. Cows were often prone to tango up a hill or per form a spirited maxie. Servants were unable to explain this mystifying phenomenon until recently, when it was found that the spinose ear tick was responsible. The tick causes a rythmic tapping in the ear and a sort of syncopation. it is covered with spines which are thin and wiry. The air circulating thru these often results in vague melodic tones. The music, combined with the ragtime tappings, caused the wild cavortings of the cattle. The "dance bug" has thrived well in California and not only contaminate cattle, but poultry and chickens. Lastly, man has become the orey of this evil insect and several cases have been reported to Profssor Herms. Patents Circular Barn A patent on a new idea in barn construction has been granted to a Mason Iowa, man. The barn is circular in shape, of fireproof construction, built of cement and brick, with hollow tile walls. Circulation of heat thru the walls is arranged by air spaces extending around the building. THE GAZETTE, CLEVELAND, OHIO, JUNE 21, 1919 IMPROVED WIND MOTOR Patent has been granted on a wind motor with automobile control, which the inventor, who is a well known civil engineer of Kansas City, Mo., believes will revolutionize the manufacture of this kind of machines. The wind motor is constructed on a horizontal hexagonal shape and is so built as to enable the fans to receive the full force of the wind directly against the fans. The patent enables the mill to generate much greater power, and a patented governor provides for control of the device so that it may be maintained at a fixed velocity. The structure is built of open steel work, resembling a hexagonal tower, and carrying at each leg of the tower, sail-wings. Each of these sail wings carries twelve valves. Each valve is composed of a steel angle frame, backed with a wire netting, and has a sail flap one foot high and 10 feet wide, fastened to the top only of its face. The valve is pivoted in the sail wing, on its horizontal axis and is tilted from its vertical or working position by a small arm attached to one end of the valve at the axis, extending therefrom backward and downward 46 degrees. All the arms in each sail wing are connected with a control rod so that the entire series of valves is operated simultaneously, and when the valves are turned in a horizontal position they are out of the wind, since the sail flap is free to be blown in any direction. But the valves are set vertical, the wind presses the sail flap against the wire backing of each valve, and thus the entire direct force of the wind current is transmitted to the sailwing, forcing it around with the win, where as it passes the center, the wind is directed against the back of the valve, and since there is nothing to resist the flap on the face side, it is lifted out of the way like a flag, offering but a very slight resistance. Repeated experiments with a number of valves and flaps have shown that this form of working produces better than 88 per cent effective area, and when due allowances are made and proper care taken in occurring antifriction bearings, it is confidently assumed that the efficiency of this motor will be inexcess of 85 per cent, which is very unusual in any type of power machine. One of the chief uses to which this wind motor will first be applied is irrigation, as there will be no changes necessary in any of the present type of pumps to enable them to be operated by this motor. 'BLACK WIDOW' SPIDERS ARE DEADLIEST KNOWN Varsity Scientist Discovers Colony of These Insects on Shore of Punct Sound. In one small spot in the state of Washington, on the cliffs along the west shore of Whidbey Island, lives a colony of the most deadly spiders known to science. "The Black Widow" (Latrodectes Nactans) is not a native of that state, but in some strange way a colony of this species of spiders has been established on one of the wildest shores of Puget Sound. Trevor Kniciad, professor of zoology of the University of Washington discovered the spiders on an exploration trip. The spider is jet black and very large, fully an inch long. Its only marking is on the abdomen, at about the middle where there is a bright red spot. On the female this roundish spot has something the shape of an hour glass. "The Black Widow" lives on big beetles. It is rarely that a spider attacks armored insects like the beetle, but the Widow snakes them. Apparently the spider sets out traps of spider web, and the victim blunders into them in the dark. The widow rolls its prey in a blanket of webbing until it is helpless and then it suspends this bundle in front of its door by a single thread. HAD A RECORD APPETITE Child of Eight Devours Entire Raw God, Two Pounds of Candies and Several of Butter. "Eccentricities of Diet and Their Effect on the Digestion" was the subject of a lecture delivered at the Institute of Hygiene by Dr. Saltau Fenwick. The physician mentioned people who can never eat enough; who have an insatiable hunger. In appearance they are lean, feeble, ill-favored, and they have carnivorous appetites. However much they eat they are none the better for it. One little girl of eight had a special keeper to prevent her from eating the household goods. She would cheerfully devour seven times as much as any other member of the family, and escaping from her attendant one day for a few minutes enjoyed a meal beginning with an entire raw cod, two pounds of kitchen candies and several pounds of butter. She was fortunately found be fore she got further than these hours doreses. A girl was looked in a little walled garden for two or three hours. During that time she ate every leaf she could lay hands on. most of the small twigs on shrubs and was discovered in the not of gawing a bough. One boy ate the whole of his clothing. A young woman invaded a dairy, ate 29 unbolled eggs, six pounds of butter five loaves, and drank three pints of milk and two bottles of wine; after which, providentally for the dairy keeper she fell asleep—London Express.
