THE GOVERNMENT CANNOT "BACK DOWN" OR COMPROMISE NOW!
The Segregated Hospital at Tuskegee Ought Never to Have Been Established Anywhere, But Since it Has Been The Government Must Rule it And Not The K. K. K.
New York City.—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., has issued the following statement:
"Despite the government's promise, made by President Harding, to staff the U. S. Hospital at Tuskegee for our war veterans, with our doctors and nurses, the Ku Klux Klan of that state, with the apparent connivance of Col. Stanley (a prejudiced southern officer—white in the U. S. Army), temporarily in charge of the hospital, has driven condemned in the eyes of the whole world."
Mr. Thomas then states the attitude of our people on the location of the hospital at Tuskegee and the policy of the government in segregating our veterans. "The colored heroes of the World War should never have been segregated," he says. "The blood of white and colored alliate flowed in one crimson stream on the fields of France. Certainly, those comrades in arms who fought in a common
Hon. James W. Johnson
away Dr. Kenney, a physician (of the race) of high standing, who had to flee, recently, with his family from Tuskegee. This whole situation is one which again tests the Administration's attitude towards our people, as well as the government's integrity in the face of the Ku Klux Klan mob. The government could settle this whole matter in an hour, by taking a firm stand. The Kluxes around Tuskegee are bluffing, and will carry that bluff as far as they can. I expect President Harding to call that bluff, and that will be the end of the present disgraceful situation. The contentions of Alabama white people are untrue and absurd. They pretend to fear the menace of a Negro personnel in charge of the hospital, whereas, the Tuskegee Institute, entirely manned and attended by Negroes with several hundred teachers and fifteen hounded students, has never given them, although in their midst, grounds for the slightest prehension. Our people throughout the country are waiting to see how the U. S. government will meet this challenge of the Ku Klux mobbists."
The U. S. Department of Justice has been asked by the N. A. A. C. P. and has promised to investigate the Ku Klux Klan in Tuskegee and the threats made by that body against our doctors appointed to the Government hospital for our war veterans. Walter F. White, assist. see., went to Washington, July 6, where he talked with John E. Hoover, acting head of the Bureau of Investigation, in the absence of Wm. J. Burns; and with Assistant Attorney General Crim. acting head of the Department of Justice. Mr. White placed before Mr. Crim evidence of threats made against Tuskegee Institute, our doctors and nurses in the hospital. Mr. Crim wrote an official memorandum advising government investigation of the situation at Tuskegee, and apprehension and punishment for those responsible for threats against Tuskegee Institute. Major Moton, our doctors and nurses of the hospital.
Prof. Neval H. Thomas' Inquiry, Washington. D. C.—Neval H. Thomas of the Dunbar High School has written to Director Mines of the Veterans' Bureau to know the attitude of the government since his recent visit to Tuskegee to confer with leaders of the Ku Klux Klan who have openly defied the President of the United States and the whole machinery of the national government.
"The colored people," Mr. Thomas states, "have many misgivings as to your silence on a colored personnel to mann the segregated hospital at Tuskegee. To yield to this lawless aggregation, the Ku Klux Klan, is a confession, that the government has broken down and it will stand
condemned in the eyes of the whole world."
Mr. Thomas then states the attitude of our people on the location of the hospital at Tuskegee and the policy of the government in segregating our veterans. "The colored heroes of the World War should never have been segregated," he says. "The blood of white and colored allite flowed in one crimson stream on the fields of France. Certainly, those comrades in arms who fought in a common cause, and suffered a common suffering, have no—feeling against proximity to each other in a common struggle for rehabilitation. And since the government, did segregate them, against its own lofty preachments of democracy, the hospital should not have been located in the South with all of its wicked environments. Wounded soldiers are made worse by the cruel spirit of oppression which is the very soul of the white South. The present mulee shows the folly of segregation," he says. "The same southern spirit which demanded that these brave black heroes be segregated invades the little segregated world to demand the profits. The same loud-mouthed preachers of racial separation demand intimate contact with Negroes in this segregated hospital. Even a white undertaker has secured the profitable contract of burying the many Colored veterans who are to die under the tender care of the brilliant white southern doctors. The thought of our veterans being in the hands of such a combination as southern white physicians and southern white undertakers shocks us, indeed."
Southern White Church Leaders Protest
Lake Junaluska, N. C.—The Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in annual session here, last week, gave out the following statement: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability, information that the interests of the great institution of Colored people at Tuskegee Ala., are seriously menaced by threats of organized interference, "Resolved, that this Commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our Colored fellow citizens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference, with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent labors
Prof. Neval H. Thomas would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our southern civilization."
The action of the Commission of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of the Ku Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other fool-efforts to intimidate the Institute, because of its supposed attitude in the controversy relative to the new government hospital for our veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest southern denominations (white), with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other "Negro" institutions.

The Former "Jim Crow" Fulton School Remains Closed—the C. R. P. League Again Active—Biggs' Warning.
Springfield, O.—The Civil Rights Protective league held a very enthusiastic meeting, last Friday evening, at Mr. Zion Baptist church, it was a kind of "get together" meeting, and the members seemed to be fully in readiness to go on the firing line again, if necessary. There's "something dead in the biscuit" and the league is sharpening its knives for the post mortem examination. All assignments for schools, except the Fulton school, have been made. Mr. Dean is busy overlooking the various buildings; preparatory to their opening; new supplies have been purchased, and everything necessary for the school term is being arranged. The Fulton school locks are rusting; no visible sign for the coming school opening can be observed. Sup't. McCord, when he made the assignment of teachers for the other schools, asked for a month to arrange for Fulton school. Two months have passed, and not a single effort has been put forth by McCord to arrange the building for occupancy. It makes no difference what action the school board and McCord take in the Fulton school, we will never allow it to be opened as a "jim-crow" school. So that settles that part of McCord's prerogative.
The city commissioners' fight, for the two to be elected at the coming election, is absorbing all other questions. Seven candidates have "weighed in," platforms with planks of every kind are being presented, but the plank we must stand upon is the plank of UNION, because the "hooded brigade" is after power in this city, and, when once obtained, "jim crowism" will flourish like a green hay tree, planted near some flowing stream.
Nominations for the school board are not blossoming very fast. It looks like the "frost hit some of the buds," and the sun of indignation stopped their growth. There are four candidates groomed for the contest. One was arrested in the K. K. K. parade, last week, while the other three say that they are against McCord. We have not heard any of them denounce "jim crow" schools. "SO THERE YOU ARE! We must "sift them."
Look well to your duty of registering! You can not win by staying away from the polls. If your vote was ever needed, it will be needed in the coming election. So get out and register!
DOINGS OF THE RACE
The seventh annual national convention of the Madam C. J. Walker Co. agents will be held in Detroit, Aug. 8, and $1650 will be distributed to the most successful agents. Dr. C. B. Powell of N. Y.

George Washington Turner, formerly of Cleveland, Ohio, but now living at 1411 L street, N. W. Washington, D. C., has recently been awarded a patent for a useful improvement on the incandescent electric lamp. This improvement provides for the removal of the burnout filament and a new filament is supplied so that the lamp may be used over and over again, indefinitely. This is done by the affixing of an detachable plug so that a new filament may be screwed in. A vacuum is created after the new plug is inserted. Mr. Turner received the patent on April 10, 1923. Mr. Turner also holds a patent on an automatic fan, which he attempted to commercialize in 1920 in Cleveland.

DR. EDWARD ANDERSON BAILEY
Dr. and Mrs. Edward Anderson Bailey who returned, last week Tuesday, from a wonderfully pleasing, satisfactory and beneficial trip to San Francisco, Cal., and through southern Canada on the return-trip report in the most glowing terms an experience which words can not fully and properly describe. Leaving Cleveland, some weeks ago, they went to Chicago, where they joined a party of 230 doctors, members of their families and friends, which attended a national meet of the American Medical Association. Dr. Bailey is a member of the Ohio Medical Association, a branch of the national organization. He and his good wife were the only Afro-American members of the party. The accommodations, railroad, hotel; etc., in all of the cities visited and en route to and from San Francisco were arranged, and paid for by the members of the party prior to their leaving their homes. These were the best obtainable, en route and in all of the cities and places visited. The first stop after leaving Chicago was Omaha, then Denver, Colorado was Omaha, then Salt Lake City, Los Angeles and San Francisco. In each of these places, the large party was housed in the very best hotels, and shown the sights of the cities, and oftimes those of the surrounding country within a radius of 25 and 30 miles, in automobiles and other conveyances. At Colorado Springs and in San Francisco the entire party was, photographed, Dr. and Mrs. Bailey being included, of course. At Salt Lake City, they were treated to a grand city in a beautiful building next to the Mormon temple, and bathed in Salt Lake, 30 miles from the city, where the party also danced and were entertained in a wonderfully large and beautiful pavilion. They went to Los Angeles via the royal gorge, one of the most wonderful sights of this great country of ours. At Los Angeles they were taken for drives to beautiful Pasdea, Venice, Long Beach, San Pedro and even to Hollywood, the "movie" town. In San Francisco they were housed at the Cliff Hotel, one of the finest in the country. Dr. Bailey describes the sessions of the American Medical Association as wonderfully beneficial to every professional man who had the good fortune to attend, them. On the return trip he and his good wife and other members of the party visited Portland, Ore., and Seattle. Wash., went via steamer to Vancouver, returning through the Canadian rockies via the Canadian Pacific railroad to Lake Louise, one of the most beautiful places in all of the world, where they spent a day or two at a hotel which, they say, is nearer a palace than a hostelry. Only one stop was made returning to Chicago from Lake Louise. Even though there were so many in the party, from different parts of the country, and in spite of the fact that they were of necessity thrown into the closest personal and social contact enroute to, at the various hotels and other places at which they stopped,

INDERSON BAILEY
the American Medical Assoc. in San Francisco and Northern Canada—Ex-Experience
and enroute from San Francisco, Dr. and Mrs. Bailey report no untoward experiences, but a most delightful trip in every respect. We regret that lack of space, only, prevents our expatriating at greater length on the many benefits derived by all members of the large party, our people and the other class, generally, as a result of the personal and social contact with such splendid representatives of our group as Dr. and Mrs. Edward Anderson Bailey. Both characterize the trip as the most wonderful of all their experience and The Gazette quite agrees with them. From the graphic and exceptionally interesting way in which the wonderful experiences of this trip have been related by Dr. Bailey to "The Old Rellable" Gazette, it feels that the community as a whole should be afforded an opportunity of also hearing it in detail.
"THE GIRL FROM PHILLY"
by S. H. Dudley.
"The Girl From Philly" was the show at The Globe theater, Monday evening. It went over with a hit—well-liked by all. Mr. Drake has a show that all of Cleveland is talking about. It is too bad Broadway has overlooked the show but who knows but some day the name Drake and Walker will be in the lights of that great street. But you will have to give it to the whole show, with a cast like this; Mesdames Drake and Loveness, Messrs. H. Jines, H. Drake, J. Churchill, Maxie and Maxie, and S. H. Dudley, jr. son of the old "Dud" of the Smart Set Co. While the chorus consists of Willamae Tyler, Margaret Beckett, Eva Goler, Elizabeth Monsanto, Tillie Cotton, Branch Patton, Helen Battle, Mabel Dillworth, Frances Atkins, Ira Archer and Ruth Amos. In the jazz band are Messrs. Dandridge, Brown, Cloud, C. Drake, Hinton, Monsanto. The book and lyric were by H. Drake and musical numbers by I. C. Puggsley. The show will close. Sunday night, and we hope to see it in Cleveland again. The company wishes to say goodbye (for Monday) and good luck to all of Cleveland.
Killed in "Jim Crow" Y. M. C. A. Washington, D. C.—A flight in the Twelfth street branch of the Y. M. C. A., last week, resulted in the death of Leon M. Jones, age 19, of Champlain St., N. W. Jones was shot through the heart by Joseph Hairstor, the night watchman of the building, who was shot in the arm and hit on the head with a brick. Rowdyism is given by the "Y" officials as the cause of the trouble.

A call for "A Sociological Conference on Racial Harmony," in Washington, D. C., Sept. 20-23, this year, says: "The sooner we recognize the fact that the American racial question is sociological and economical rather than political in its nature and scope, the nearer we shall be to the beginning of the solution of the problem." Perhaps! Nevertheless, the political phase will be found to be a rather important factor entering into that solution, if the latter is ever found.

A. L. Webster, president of the Young Men's Club of Gary, Ind., in a lengthy article in a recent issue of The Post-Tribune of that city, says that T. Wingate Todd, scientist of Western Reserve University, this city, claims that "song is the Negro's only contribution to America," and refutes Mr. Todd's toolish statement. The latter surely must be a prejudiced southerner.

The exodus from the South is explained in the one word MISTREATMENT. "Denial of education" is but one of many complaints that come under the general head, "mistreatment." And the word, mistreatment, is hardly strong enough. It does not cover thorny mob violence, lynch-murder, etc., etc.
If Gen. Frank E. Hines has gotten "cold feet" in the Tuskegee hospital controversy, as several of our confreres affect to believe, President Harding will undoubtedly warm him for him and also see that his (the President's) promise of an Afro-American staff and personnel for the U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee is kept.

Speaking to World War invalids at the Army general hospital, Denver, Colo., President Harding is reported to have said:
"I want to tell you if there ever is another war we will do more than draft the boys. If I have anything to do with it we will draft every dollar and every other essential."
Just let that idea sink in. It contains the germ of the greatest insurance of peace ever planted by any American President.
KELLY MILLER MISLED!
Kelly Miller's letter on "Negro Migration," published in several of our contemporaries, under the date of July 7, 1923, tells of a recent visit of "several days in Cleveland" and impresses real Clevelanders of color, who have read it, with one fact more than any other and that is that the main source of Miller's information was very unreliable, to say the least, because he has made a number of incorrect statements which are really inexcusable. In the first place, 30,000 Negroes did not come to Cleveland "in ten years," but in much less time than that. The inrush did not "completely nonplus the old Cleveland" and he did not "stand bewildered as he felt the foundations of his former privileges shaking beneath him." Neither did he "at first oppose the inrushing tide," nor did he "fight all suggested separate agencies of relief as for runners of racial segregation." These mis-statements could emulate but from one local source and it is to be regretted that Kelly spent so much of his time with such a "yesterday Negro wind-bag" as to be so completely fooled and misled: "A Negro social settlement" was not
"placed under the ban" in Cleveland but a "jim crow" Y. M. C. A. was and has, very properly, been kept there. The Phyllis Wheatley Association was in existence long before the inrus referred to. As with the foregoing, so with Miller's ridiculous expression relative to "the old Clevelander becoming sobered by the imperative demand of circumstances." "The old Clevelanders" were the ones who made possible the favorable conditions of all kinds sought and enjoyed by those of color who constituted the inrus to Cleveland. These things and more, Kelly could have learned had he gotten in touch with some of those "old Clevelanders," and not a "yesterday" Negro who boasts of a knowledge of the city and its people that he does not possess and can not get for years to come. The Negro Welfare Association of Cleveland has been more or less of a joke and nuisance from its war-time start, and its boasted accomplishments and those of its "secretary." Wm. Conners, are paper and talk "accomplishments," very VERY largely. Neither the so-called league, or its sec., has anything like the position in this community Miller's letter would lead its readers to believe. Kelly's state or buys a new home or church in Cleveland" is silly and like his Conners and Negro Welfare League expressions, only more so—absolutely and wholly untrue! Really, Miller's informant ought to "have his head examined" When Kelly visits Cleveland again, our advice to him is to steer clear of the main source of his information upon the occasion of his most recent visit here and get in touch with one or more of the afore-mentioned "old Clevelanders" who can and will give him the correct information he apparently sought and failed to get.
THE "TUSKEGEE" TROUBLE
The controversy over the personnel of the staff of our disabled U. S. Veterans' hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., has reached the stage where it is now a fight, for the control and management of it, between the United States government and the Ku Klux Klan of Alabama. The "hill-billy" kluxers in the vicinity of Tuskegee have, as a result of threats of mob-violence and lynch-murder, driven from the hospital Dr. John A. Kenney, who was ordered to leave, leave before last, within twenty-four hours, and with his family fled to New York City. When appointed to the position in the Tuskegee U. S. Veterans' hospital, Dr. Kenney was superintendent and surgeon-in-chief of the John A. Andrews Memorial hospital of Tuskegee Institute. John H. Calhoun, a Hampton graduate, appointed disbursement officer of the hospital, who arrived in the morning, early last week, was handed a threatening letter by Col. R. H. Stanley (southern white), temporary commanding-office in charge of the hospital, and left the same afternoon. This makes clear the intention of the Alabama kluxers, with the assistance of Col. Stanley, to drive from the hospital all of our people who go there for the purpose of becoming a part of the staff and personnel of the institution, and thus enable them to set up the claim that it is impossible to secure an Afro-American staff, etc., for the hospital. In event of such a condition arising, there would be nothing else to do except to appoint a white staff and personnel. Of course this condition can not obtain if the government does its clear duty in the matter and furnishes the protection and investigation asked for. We have no doubt but that this will be done, because a failure to put in charge of the hospital an Afro-American staff and personnel, as promised, would be a clear backdown upon the part of the government of this country to the "hill-billy" kluxers of Alabama. We can not for a moment persuade ourselves to believe that either President Harding or Gen. Frank E. Hines, a veteran of the World War, in charge of the U. S. Veterans bureau, with headquarters at Washington, D. C., would permit such a condition as that to exist for a single moment. Therefore, we see but one outcome of the Tuskegee controversy and that is the correct and proper one —Afro-American control, staff and personnel of our disabled U. S. Vet-

Firpo-Willard-Dempsey-Wills.
According to the best critics at the ringside, the Firpo-Willard heavyweight battle in New Jersey, last week, made perfectly clear the fact that neither was or is in the Dempsey-Wills class as pugilists. Also, that Jess Willard never was in Jack Johnson's class and never earned the championship he posed as holding for a more or less brief period. Firpo is announced as being a fairly big, strong fellow with little science and intelligence. Willard was old, big, flabby and a very poor second-rater. Yet, an effort Dempsey prior to the problematical Dempsey prior to the problematical Dempsey contest. Dempsey's recent fight with Gibbons also proved to the satisfaction of all the leading fight-experts present that Jack is far from being what he is "cracked up to be," a "wonderful," etc., etc., and also that he is going back rather than standing still or improving as a battler. We may be wrong, of course, but we thoroughly believe that if Harry Wills gets a crack at him, this year, prejudiced will have a second black heavyweight champion pugilist to "sweat great drops of blood" over. It is interesting just at this time to know that Dempsey is part Irish and part "North American Indian." So says the well-known writer, Arthur Brisbane, who adds that Firpo is partly Spanish and partly Italian but that he can carry light into obscure (white) American brains" that use the (mongrel) words "wop," "dago," etc., to indicate certain inferiority. He also says that after the whites' champion has "taken the count" they revise their ideas of racial inferiority. Wonder if they did this when Jack Johnson whipped Jim Jeffries and if they will do so when Wills kayos Dempsey?

Lynched the Wrong Man!
Columbia, Mo.—Additional evidence was given to the already haralded Dr. Almstedt, who made a fatal mistake in lynching James T. Scott, janitor at the University of Missouri, when the 14-year-old daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Almstedt, on whom the attack was attempted, appeared in Mexico, Mo., and identified a man in jail there as the real perpetrator of the crime. Scott, at the time of the lynching, April 29 last, proclaimed his innocence, but the blood-thirsty mob mobbed it, as well as Dr. Almstedt, father of the girl, to spare his life. Scott, who was married, bore a splendid reputation. Students of the university were accused of taking part in the lynching.

“There are three persons in the world who can knock out Jack Dempsey,” the former champion asserted. “They are Firpo, Harry Wills and Jack Johnson.”
Winkfield Still Winning.
Paris, France — Bahadur, a French bred horse owned by Leon Mantachteff, a Russian, and ridden by the veteran Afro-American jockey, Winkfield of Kentucky, won the President of the French Republic stakes of 200,000 francs at the closing of the metropolitan racing season at St. Cloud, recently Bahadur paid his backers 14 to 1.
Made a World Record.
Douglass, Ariz,—A world's record in rifle fire was made by the first battalion of our Twenty-Fifth U. S. Infantry, stationed at Camp Harry J. Jones, in the course of target work completed, recently, according to Major Harry J. Castles, commander of the post, who personally supervised the contests.
Luis Angel Firpo, according to certain daily newspaper sport-writers, wants to meet Harry Wills next, but Luis says he's willing to "fight anybody, anywhere, anytime" and prefers Jack Dempsey, champion. Good! "On with the dance!"

14, "The Cotton Farmer," of July 14, 23, published at Scott, Bolivar Co. Miss., by Rev. Ad.

Prior to her coming to Cleveland, she graduated of the academic and domestic science dept, of Tuskegee (Ala.) N. & I. Institute, had served for years as supervisor of our schools (under the Jeannes fund) in Shelby county, Penn. In 1913 she married Mr. Ellis at Memphis. In 1920 she resigned her position as supervisor and joined her husband in this state where she she will continue to work with Scott, the home also of her parents. Mrs. Ellis has a host of friends in Cleveland, among them being "The Old Reliable" Gazette, who are indeed pleased to hear of her again and to learn of her continued success in her old home.

The Smith-Gibbs-Nickens Co. received their beautiful gray hearsay, July 13, from the Riddle Mfg. Co. Its classic lines distinguish it from any other funeral car in its class. The carving is exquisitely done by the hand of an artist.

The Smith-Gibbs-Nickens Co. reports the following deaths: Clayborne Fitch, E. 30th St., June 29. Remains sent to Fitzgerald, Ga. Nathaniel Austin, E. 65th St. Remains sent to Camden, N. J., July 9.
THE GLOBE THEATRE.
The Drake and Walker Co. at The Globe Theater, last and this week, is undoubtedly one of the most versatile and very best organizations of the kind to visit this city, this season. All of their work is really high-class. The singing by Ethel Walker (Mrs. H. Drake), the Misses Henrietta Loveness and Helen Battle is away above the average. It is seldom indeed that one hears such splendid voices in any company. The ensemble work of the chorus, throughout the eve, entertainment, is very good indeed. The singing, so with the dancing of every member of the company, particularly S. H. Dudley, jr. its stage manager. This young man is one of the company's stars, away above the average; so placed by his superior work, and that is saying a good deal because Mr. Drake and his associate-comedians, and there are a number of them, are all very fine. The jazz band is one of the very best that travels the country. Their playing really is exceptionally good. There is a time the curtain rises until it fails; everything moves rapidly, smoothly and with precision. Absolutely nothing to criticize. Another singularly pleasing phase is the fact that Drake and Walker own the show and control, absolutely, the company. They are fine people, too. The program presented this week, is entirely new; costumes and everything except the members of the company. And it has beautiful new costumes galore. Do not fall to attend, if you can possibly be more than pleased. It was the popularity of the Drake and Walker Co. won by its excellent showing, last week, that caused Manager Bob Davis of The Globe to induce Mr. Drake to cancel other engagements in order to remain in Cleveland, this week.

REMARKS ABOUT ADVERTISING
People go where they are invited
—A. T. Stewart.
Advertising is as necessary an expenditure as the payment of taxes or rent.—W. Atlee Burpee.
Constant and persistent advertising is a sure prelude to wealth—Stephen Girard.
Nothing except the mint can make money without advertising.—W. E. Gladstone.
Printer's ink will make more of the public wear a pathway to your store. See?
The merchant who considers riches a burden should never advertise. His store may be like a summer resort in January. Do YOU advertise?
While it is true that occasional advertising will bring extra business, it is equally true that constant, persistent advertising will keep business growing during "dull days."
The merchant who never advertises under any circumstance or condition may imagine he is wise, but his competitors have no desire to disturb his imagination. It's a good time to "get awake."
THE MAN WHO DARES.
"I honor the man who in the consciences discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of Irenda."—Charles Summer.

Guncotton and Artificial Silk Also
‘May Be. Manufactured
It bas been found that the stalks
of the cotton plant which hitherto
Save been considered as absolutely
worthless and even a source of trov-
Ble and expense to cotton growers
ean be converted into pulp which is
satisfactory substitute for wood pulp
for many purposes. Because the figers
f the eotton stalk pulp are long and
stiong, paper made from it is stronger
‘nd tougher than paper made from or
dinary Wood pulp:
Besides furnishing a valuable paper
waking material this pulp can be used
im the manufacture of guncotton and
artificial silk. For making the latter it
ja converted into a viscous liquid by
‘treating it with an acid. The liguid is
then spun into threads which can be
woven into various kinds of fabrics.
Lrtificial leather is also manufactured
from this viscous liquid as are motion
picture'films and various chemicals.
‘The country is being rapidly de
nuded of its forests in order to supply
the enorous demand for paper pulp.
‘One of the big problems of conserva-
Honists has been to find something
that can be used to eke out the pulp
supply and prevent or at least delay
the destruction of the available timber.
‘The use of cotton stalks appears to
De an important step toward the so-
Yution of the problem for enormous
‘quantities of this material are availa-
ble and a crop of it is produced every
year aa a by-product of the cotton in-
‘Sustry.
For every ton of cotton produced
‘here are approximately five tons: of
stalks. Heretofore it has cost the
growers an average of $1 per ton mere-
Jy to have these useless stalks gather
ed and removed from the fields. It
4s estimated that some 75,006,000 tons
of the stalks have been destroyed an-
nually in the past few years. This
would provide raw material for the
manufacture of a large amount of pulp.
In addition to making a formerly uso
Jess by-product commercially valuable,
the cotton stalk pulp industry will aid
eatton growers considerably Ly helping
to eliminate the boll weevil. The usual
practice has been to cut the stalks off
ft the top of.the ground, leaving a
stump in which the weevil finds both
food and shelter until the coming of
summer when it begins Xs depreda-
tions on the new cotton crop.
‘The damage inflicted on the growing
cotton by the weevil amounts to mil-
‘Hons of dollars annually. Since the
roots of the plant are as valuable ag
‘any other part for making pulp, they
‘will be pulled up, thus helping to elim-
{nate the wepvil from infested tields.—

the crowning glories of their race and

Hummie stags, and they are tar from

‘have been known to fight and to cop

as antlers are so far from being uni-

characteristics in their definitions of

that the system of judging the merit
9f the stalkers’ spoil by the character
of the head and the number of tines
‘or points is certainly the best that
could be devised.
‘Many years ago an antler with 15
pothts was dug up from an Irish bos.
Assuming an equal number on the
antler that was missing, the mighty
hart to which the hogns "belonged
‘would have been a stag not of 12/or 13

however, nowadays likely to fall into
the lap of the Scottish deer stalkers,
still less will they be able to send to
the stuffers such magnificent ex-
amples as those which may be found
in many an old German schloss. ‘The
continental deer have always been
more heavily antiered than the Brit-

counted for by their having access to
muuch better feeding than they are
able to procure in Scotland. But, re-
membering that heads of 18 and 20

head with tines in excess of the
“royal” should be distinguished by a
special designation.
‘There is somo difference of opin-

should not only possess “brow,” “bay”

that this is the age of patent medi
ines, but it appelirs that seeret mec
cal preparations were made and vend:
ed in large quantities many centuries

Indeed a few of these secret remo:
Gies beeame so popular and were con

manity that the reigning monarchs in
past conturies bought the secrets truin

Sums of money. It has been found for
example, that Louis XIV of France
‘paid handsome sums for three such
preparations, namely, Helvetius’ ipo:
cac remedy, Glauber's fermis mineral
and ‘Talbor’s cinchona remedy.
It would seem that some of the ear
ty secret remedies must have possess
ed some merit, for some that were
patented as early as the sixteenth
centuries are now standard remedies,
being highly esteemed and sold In
large ‘quantities. An interesting and
unusual fact in connection with some
of the medicines which made their
debut as patent remedies is that they
are now held in good repute by prac-
ticing physicians who prescribe them
tor their patients.
Among these are Fowler's solution
of potassium arsenate, which was first
made by an apothecary named Fowler
who kept the remedy as a secret and
refused to admit that it contained ar

A prehistoric burial mound of the
Seminole Indians has just been found
at Magnolia Springs, Fla. Dr! E. J.
‘Tomson and John Kendrick, a well
known artist of New York, made the
discovery a few days ago, and after
two days of excavation,
‘Three skeletons, half a dozen skulls
four arrow heads, and pieces of pot-
tery, were obtained on the first day,
three more skeletons and six arrow
heads and stone axes were dug up.
Tr. Tomson said it was impossible to
say how long the bodies and relics
had been buried there, but he beliey-
ed them to be prehistoric.
‘The skeletons all measured more
than 6 feet. One measuring 6 Met 6
inches is perfectly preserved, and in
the skull the teeth remain ' perfect.
The size of the jaw is remarkable.
‘The root of a tree has grown in the
exact shape of another skull.
‘The skeletons were found lying face
Gownward with heads to the south. It
is a known fact that the aborigines
buried with their chiefs and priests
their favorite pieces of pottery con-
taining food to nourish them on thelr
Journey to the Happy Hunting Ground.
It Is also known that the tribes
burned the sand so as to preserve
‘their dead and Dr. Tomson says the
sand excavated has the queer look of
burned sand. As there is no suitable
stone in Florida the doctor has con-
eluded that the arrow heads original-
ly eame from some of the Northern
Indian tribes.
‘The mound fs sixty feet lons, 20 feet
wide and twelve feet high. It is locat

mark the four corners of the mound.
‘They are nearly 50 feet high and 4

work in the hope of adding more cn
