WHY THE I STAR I Officers of the Company—W Was Really Worth—Had Garvey a Great Captain H (Forwarded by Universal Service Bureau) Baltimore, Md.—There have been so many conflicting reports, giving various reasons for the failure of the Black Star Line that I have decided, as one of the officers of the company, to publish the truth. CAPT. RUGH MULZAC. First: The management in the New York office was incompetent. Second: The ships were worthless. Third: They were used mostly for propaganda. The office at 56 W. 135th St., New York City, consisted of the following officers to manage the B. S. L. Steamship Corporation: Mr. Marcus Garvey, pres.; M. Jerilim Certain, vice-pres.; Henrietta Vinton Davis, second vice-pres.; George Tobias treas., Smith Groen, gen. mgr.; L. Johnson, traffic mgr. Not one of these persons knew the first thing about a ship or the management of shipping business. Mr. Garvey, a great organizer and the founder of the greatest Negro movement on earth, has no knowledge of ships or of the shipping business. The first vice president is a clergmaker. The second is a reader and executionist. Messrs. Green, Johnson and the other officers were not at all familiar with the business. I had just returned from Europe as chief officer of the Steamship "Pasadena" of the U. S. Shipping Board when a letter came to my home from Mr. Garvey asking me to come to New York City to take charge of the "Yarmouth." as chief officer. I heard of his great plans and I was very much enthused. Therefore, I immediately resigned my position with the U. S. Shipping Board and went to New York City. On my arrival, I bought five shares of the Black Star Line stock and also became a member of U. N. I. A. From that time I was an ardent supporter of Mr. Garvey and believe in him, but I never believed in the business methods of the Black Star Line and my only reason for sticking was that I thought Mr. Garvey, recognizing his inability to handle the shipping business, would eventually turn it over into the hands of experienced men before failure would come. I knew little of him at that time and did not think that he would be the man he has proven to be. However, on Jan. 23, 1920. I boarded the Yarmouth as chief officer as she was lying at anchor outside the statue of Liberty laden with whiskey. I did not like --- CHICAGO, Ill.—Henderson Smith, well-known musician, was buried from his home, Sept. 23rd. He was a pioneer in the world of amuse-ance, and is being portaited "The Ten Dark Knights" and "The Black Hussars" companies with which he toured the world. He served many terms as a director on the Musicians' Union directorate, and was quite prosperous. Mr. Smith studied music, particularly the cornet, at the old Dana Musical Institute at Warren, O., and years ago was a fine soloist when with Sprague's and Haverly's minstrels. He went to England with the latter in the days when C. Wright Harris was the prince of minstrel band leaders. He was also an excellent violinist. In Warren, his old home, and Youngstown, Cleveland and almost every other large city in the country he had many warm friends who will mourn his demise and extend heartfelt sympathy to the sorrowing widow. BLACK LINE FAILED! What the Yarmouth Cost and d a Million Dollar Cargo at Organizer, Says Hugh Mulzac the condition of things, for the ship had just returned from distress of Cape May and was partly water-loged. The condition of the passengers, numbering thriflyive, was pitiful. They had to sleep in cold, wet filth rooms and were partly frozen. I thought at that time that I was beween the devil and the deep sea for I had just given up a decent position for the sake of race pride. However, I decided to fight it out and make the ship as sea-worthy as possible. Captain Cockburn was master in charge at that time and I questioned him concerning the conditions. He told me that he did not intend to make the trip for Mr. Garvey and that Mr. Smith Green had drawn up the most ridiculous contract he had ever seen. Therefore, he had refused to take the ship out of New York. The cargo was worth one million dollars and the ship was chartered the day before prohibition went into effect and she had to be loaded away from the port before midnight or the cargo would be copiificated. Therefore, the freight was valued at $100,000 which the owners of the whisky would have been glad to pay in order to get it out of New York. The Black Star Line's president and the Black Star manager drew up a contract for $100,000 consulting the captain. That amount would not even be enough to pay the expenses of the ship to its destination. Then again, the cargo was not even assigned to anyone and had to be put in bond in Cape York. For these reasons, Captain Cockburn refused to sail. Thereupon, the owners of the cargo approached him and offered him $2,000 to take the ship out. He accepted and sailed but unfortunately the whisky was thrown into the ship's hold in such a hurry that the cargo shifted off Cape May as a result of bad weather, causing the ship to have a heavy list. She got water-logged and part of the cargo had to be thrown overboard, so the ship had to return to New York. The Yarmouth was built in 1885 in Scotland and she was a very good ship in her day but her condition at the time she was purchased by the Black Star Line was very poor. Her boiler crowns were entirely gone and had to be patched up at every port. Her hull was practically worn out and her passenger accommodations were "fierce." She was used for hauling coal during the war and was not in any shape for carrying passengers. I valued her, at the time I joined her, at about $25,000, but I learned later that they had paid $165,000 for her. We eventually sailed again for Cuba after I had succeeded in making her seaworthy and got to Cuba on March 3, 1920. Hugh Mulzac. (To be Continued) Troops Ordered Out. Raleigh, N. C.—Gov. Morrison ordered state troops to Mitchell county, last week Thursday, where an aged white woman is said to have been attacked by a Negro convict, the day before. He emphasized that highway work, near the town of Spruce Pine, on which the convicts were employed, would be continued if it were necessary to protect them with troops. If the camp is moved before national guardsmen reach the scene, as white citizens threatened, he declared, it would be replaced and the convicts who have been deported would be returned to work on the roads. SINGLE COPY FIVE CENTS In Many Cities of the North, These Days-Three White Men Head the Negro Veterans' U. S. Hospital at Tuskegee-Now Time for President Coolidge to Act. (A special to The Gazette) A serious situation has arisen in Johnstown, Pa. Negroes have been driven out. The Mayor is wrong in his handling of the situation but the aggravation is great. Negroes are largely responsible for this situation. Dives among certain classes of Negroes are prevalent. The majority of the type of our people come into the north from the south are of the dive proactivities. Every section where our people live as a mass, revolting dives abound. Politicians wink at these dives in order to get a royalty and keep themselves in political control. The interest of our respectable people is sold for the support of vicious divekeepers and lawbreakers. The young Negro boys of tender years flock to these places and become demons in vice. The colored girl, loud, brazen and defiant makes life hideous for decent people every race. Many of these people live together as common-law wives and husbands. They are together because they are dishonest and they don't trust each other. As a result cutting, shooting and all fors, of violence arise in these places. The lives of officers of the law are in danger the moment they go to arrest one of the dives' pims regardless of the crime he may have committed. The Negro church in every city should combine and help to wipe out these dives. Charitable and moral organizations should also cooperate in this work. Officers of the law must be rigid with Negro culprits as well as the others. Courts must inflict severe penalties and heads of cities must be fair and just, but determined to have dives broken up. What we say about Negro dives we say about white dives. An ignorant, vicious and loud colony of dive frequenters is a menace to every body. Our people from the south are welcome anywhere in the north and should be told so by words and actions, but divekeepers and their pimps and harlots should be put in jail and the workhouse. One gets an idea of the civilization of Alabama when he reads the various laws that have been enacted to prevent the white and black races from being humane toward each other. The Gunette called the attention of the country to that one which forbids hospital service by either race to each other. In spite of this law, we are shown the spectacle of white men desiring to break it when they can profit materially, by so doing. The law is inhuman and foolish but so long as no real gain could come from the violation of it in the form of large salaries, it was studiously kept. This Negro hospital with its fat places is sufficient reason to disregard the law. Southern "chivalrous" white men who abominate (??) contact with Negroes forget their hate when the dollar becomes a real fact. The appointment of three white men to control the hospital is a blunder and insult. These white men are not wanted by our soldiers, nor by their friends or relatives. Gen. Frank T. Hines has made a mistake. He has jeopardized the interest of his party in order that he might cater to unreasonable southern prejudice and greed. White southerners are no friends of our soldiers, maimed or whole. Anything white southerners can do, to luminate our soldiers at any time, they will do. We do not believe the lives of our mained soldiers safe under their control. This is brutal frankness, but nevertheless true. These men are not going there for the money and because of the money they can get out of their jobs. Men (white) of honor and keen sense of the appropriateness of things as now prevalent in the south between the races, would not accept the positions. Gen. Hines is lacking in moral courage and the finesse of judicial wisdom. There can be no compromise in this matter. We would unalterably oppose a colored staff in any southern hospital for white people of southern stripe. We take exactly the same stand toward white men in colored hospitals. We prefer not having those men there controlling our nurses. It is a fact that southern men coming in intimate contact with our women have never given good results. Southern white men are not to be trusted with the virtue of our women under their control! It is now time for President Coolidge to act. Justice and fairness are all we ask. President Coolidge not Gen. Hines would impose a colored control on a white hospital and certainly they will not convict themselves of doing to our race what they would not do, to any other race. If we had no competent men for con- IN UNION THIS LEAGUE LE COPY FIVE CENTS Mess! NEGRO DIVES! Women Of The Hurting It arth, These Days—Three White Veterans' U. S. Hospital at Time for President e to Act. trol, we would accept white control but not southern white control. We would welcome men from other sec- DR. WM. A. BYRD tions of the country who have the sense of respect and justice toward our race but not a people who believe in damning the race in its attempt to rise. This issue will not be settled until it is settled properly. The only possible settlement is "Negro control." STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP.

Congressman Dyer is quoted as saying that the "states rights opposition" to his proposed federal anti-lynching bill "is silly". We cannot believe that Mr. Dyer would make such a statement because the "states rights opposition" to any federal anti-lynching bill is based upon a decision of the U. S. Supreme Court, the court of the last resort and the highest legal tribunal in this country. A constitutional basis for his bill as a law cannot be built by calling attention to the large number of lynchings in this country since the days of reconstruction and Congressman Dyer ought to and doubtless does know this. And yet that is about all he tries to do in the speeches he has been making throughout the country (at so much per speech) in recent months. GIVE THANKS! After reviewing the sad lot of some of the countries of the Old World, a writer in the Kansas City Star says, "There is not a worker in America, not a business or professional man, not a mother, not a child, who should not thank God for a lot cast in this favored land." And they should all remember that their land is "favored" because Republican members of the U. S. Senate and Republican voters throughout the country stood steadfast against Wilsonism, which sought to inveigle us into the "League of Nations" and to precipitate us all into the very conditions that now engulf Europe. Our land is not favored by any mere chance, but as the direct result of the application of sound Republican policies, both foreign and domestic. REDUCTION OF REPRESENTATION Some of our confreres of the race press affect to believe that they see in the further reduction by the Republican national committee of southern representation in Republican national conventions a aforest of the reduction of southern representation in the Congress. Surely they must be "seeing" without thinking. Neither the national Republican leadership nor the Republican leaders in the Congress have given in recent years or are giving at the present time any reason for any one to "see" any such wonderful thing. There is absolutely no indication or likelihood of any such action in the immediate or distant future. That is one reason why we are opposed to the committee's reduction of southern representation in Republican national conventions. JOHNSTOWN'S MAYOR Mayor Cauffiel, of Johnstown, Pa. said, recently: "I was away, and when I came home and found the city in a ferment I decided that the only thing to do was to send these NEWCOMERS out of town and KEEP THEM OUT. No less than a dozen flaming crosses were burned on the hilltops around the city and I feared an outbreak against the Negroes unless I acted promptly. The old Negro residents are 'all Negroes' who the mayor made bad people. I have NO objection to any Negro because he is a Negro, but the situation was such that we had to act quickly." For almost 200 years free Colored people have lived in Pennsylvania. They may say with Hamlet: "I am a native here, and to the manner born." Likewise New Jersey, New York and New England, Ohio can go back 70 years; perhaps a little more. Harry C. Smith says an even longer time, but Mr. Smith is NOT a native Ohioan, though you would think so from his attitude toward newcomers. Mr. Smith is one of your old uncompromising fighters. — C h i c a g o (HIL) Defender. Harry C. Smith has lived in Ohio constantly for nearly three-score years and his attitude toward the "newcomers" has been one of kind- ness, helpfulness and consideration as all in the state of Ohio will freely and willingly attest. What "Colonel" Roscoe "Cackling" Simmons is driving at in his Chicago Defender comment, quoted above, will not require a wise man or a son of a wise man to figure out. We feel sure that even Mr. Simmons will agree that this race of our needs most today "old, uncompromising fighters." The "pussyfoot," selfish, compromising, "jim crow" kind of "leaders" that have been "in the saddle" almost constantly ever since the days of Wm. Wells Brown, Douglass and Langston has done the race vastly more harm than good with the result that it has lost a tremendous amount of ground in the matter of citizens' rights and privileges in the last twenty or twenty-five years. As for that Johnstown mayor our Dr. Byrd is right: The bad "Negroes" in the town did give Mayor Cauffiel entirely too much encouragement to take the fool, drastic and unconstitutional action which forced hundreds of them to leave that city before Gov. Pinchot could halt him. Dr. Byrd is also right when he says this same bad element of "Negroes" are in every community here in the North and in too large numbers, wherever there are any considerable number of our people who came from the South in the last six or seven years. There are just two things that must be done to "take care" of them and they are better housing facilities and better administration on the part of the executive officials of cities in which these bad "Negroes" are located. JOINED THE LEAGUE OF "NOTIONS"! Ethiopia (Abyssinia Now a Mem ber—"Slavery Abolished in the Great African Empire— Italy's Order Geneva, Switzerland. — Ethiopia was formally admitted to membership in the League of Nations, last week Friday, the great Abyssinian empire ("Negro") having convinced the powers of the league that she was done with "slavery" forever. Her's was not slavery in the sense we take it. The "slaves" were treated more like American poor relations (white) are treated oft-times by the wealthy who "employ" and do not pay them. When the names of the Ethiopian delegates were called, her representatives strode to their allotted places picturesquely clad in costumes of rich and colorful material. The applause rivaled that which greeted Ireland when the sons of Erin were received into the family. When the sons of Erin were subsided, Prince Dedjazmatch Nadeou, the chief delegate, with finely chiseled ebony features and a black Vandyke beard, mounted the rostrum and spoke in the name of his ruler, Her Majesty Uuizerzo Zeedut. Ethiopia had had a glorious past, he said, but being deficient in modern progress had sought admission into the great league which stood for progress in modern civilization and for helpful co-operation between the peoples of the earth. The empire was admitted to the league as a result of instructions from Abyssinia authoritarianism, and engagement respecting the abolition of "slavery." As the delegates already had power to assume all the other obligations of the league, no further impediment to Ethiopia's election existed. The election of the nation was unanimous. Italy has notified the League of Nations that she has ordered the abolition of the "slavery" system existing within the Italian legation in the empire of Ethiopia and that henceforth its staff of the legation must consider the "slaves" as servants, pending Italian arrangements to restore them to full liberty with compensation. Gets Bulk of Sargent Estate New York City.—The probating of the will of Franklin H. Sargent; late head of the American Academy of Dramatic Art; located in Carrollton, which at Plattsburgh in August, disclosed the fact that in addition to forty-four shares of stock in the American Telephone and Telegraph Co., Mrs. Sadie Walker, Afro-American, who had been Mr. Sargent's housekeeper for many years, was also bequeathed the bulk of the estate, including the Sargent country home at Merrill, N. Y., and his automobile. The stock, at latest quotations, is worth $50,478. The Sargent holdings in the Academy of Dramatic Art are to be held in trust and the income divided among three friends and associates. A brother, Arthur W. Sargent of Avon Park, Fla., gets $500. Returns to the Stage New York City—Jesse Shipp, the producing genius who is responsible for the construction of the series of shows that made Williams & Walker famous, the director who declined the highest salary in the company as a stage director in England from that country's wealthiest producing manager rather than desert the Afro-American show business, has become a partner with Homer Tutt, Salem Tutt Whitney and John T. Gibson, the theatrical financial genius, in the new "Smarter" show. The show, with a show entitled "North Alm't South," with Klaw and Erlinger bookings that promise a great season. Given House and Lot. Recently, Mayor J. F. Floyd (white), of Spartansburg, S. C., placed an advertisement in "The Old Reliable" for one Mrs. Mamie E. Staten whose uncle, Wm. A. Hughston, died there, some time ago, and left her a house and lot. Mr. Floyd is admired by the public. Mrs. Staten called at The Gazette office, on the suggestion of one of its readers, and of course will soon come into possession of the property her uncle left her. Does it pay to advertise in and read "The Old Reliable Gazette?" "Sure it does"—we hear you say. Then why not sub- it, and tell your friends to be likew TUE GAZETTE, CLEVELA.J.D. O.SATURDAY, OCT. 6. 1923 PRIME SPORT NEWS Siki Seuds For Nefatti. Chicago, Ill.—All Nefatti of Senegal is to be one of the entries in the six-day bike race to be started at the Collisseum, Oct. 27. He is a close personal friend of Battling Siki, also a Senegalese and champion light heavyweight of the world, having won it from Georges Carpentier. Siki is now in this country. He sent for Nefatti, who is one of the fastest men, who is the most expected to arrive, today. Last winter at the Velodrome d'Hiver in Paris he won most of the important races scoring victories over Brocco, Van Kempen, Ellergaard and other foreign stars. He is especially good in long hard-run races. Siki Ordered to Meet Norfolk .New York City—Battling Siki has been informed by the N. Y. state athletic commission that he must go through with his contract, Gene Sennett signed as his manager, for a fifteen-round bout with Kid Norfolk of Baltimore, at Madison Square Garden. Oct. 19. The N. Y. state athletic commission has jurisdiction in this game. Ski has not as yet announced whether he will pay any attention to its "order." With Mons. DeFremont, his manager; Charles Raymond and Robert Diamond, a pair of French fighters, Siki appeared at the Lafayette theater, recently, and made a fine impression. They did a twenty-five minute turn. After the introduction, which called out a most cordial round of applause, the smaller boys indulged in two rounds of sparring, was doing by Ski, with two others, doing by Lafayette. "Ski" Ski skips the rope, swings Indian clubs, and punches the bag, after which he and Becker close the act with a good two-round exhibition. The "Battler" weighs 175 pounds and discloses none of the characteristics that the American A Real Woman! Atlanta, Ga. — T. M. Merrits, (white), was taken to the Grady hospital, Saturday night, Sept. 22, '23, suffering from a badly shattered left arm of a bifid wound bitten by Mrs. White "man," with his brother, went to Mrs. White's home, white under the influence of liquor, and insulted her. A common thing in many parts of this section of the country. But this woman of the race. More power to her kind. Sues for $25,750. St. Louis, Mo.—Suit for $25,750 was filed in the Circuit Court, recently, against the Terminal Railroad Association, the Missouri Pacific Railroad and the Pullman Company, by Warren R. Waddy of this city who has been accused of using a Pullman ticket to Houston, Tex., and was told that the railroads would not assign berths to "Negroes" traveling South. KEEPING THE ENGINE COOL The temperature of each explosion in a gasoline engine is somewhat over 2000 degrees F. This may be only slightly below the melting point of iron. The lubricant which we use in the cylinders burns at a temperature below 500 degrees F. It is evident that even in winter we need some system whereby the intense heat of the explosions is carried away, so that the temperature in the cylinders will be reduced to the point at which the iron and oil may do their work effectively. To be sure, this point of most intense heat occurs when the piston is at the top of its stroke and is covering the whole cylinder walls. The descent of the piston allows the exploded charge to cool rapidly owing to the law of the expansion of gases. The temperature existing in the cylinders, however, at the time when the exhaust valve opens, is so high as to prevent the operation of any type of internal combustion engine without some exterior means of cooling. The heat in an engine is generated by the explosions faster than it can be distributed into the surrounding air through the thinnest walls. If this heat in the explosion, however, can be distributed over a larger area, so that a greater amount of the cooler outside air may come in contact with the heated surfaces, a greatly increased cooling effect will take place. A few years ago the engine which would not overheat under normal conditions of hill-climbing on a warm day was so scarce as to cause comment. Today, an engine may be driven at nearly full load in the hottest weather without undue difficulty from this source. There need be no mystery about the causes of overheating—they are logical and can be remedied easily if the motorist will search out the cause of the trouble. Overheating in an engine can be caused primarily by but two things, either an undue generation of heat or an insufficient dissipation of heat—Leslie's. She Couldn't Have It A small boy who was sitting next to a very haughty woman in a crowded car kept sniffing in a most annoying manner. At last the lady could bear it no longer and turned to the lad. "Boy, have you got a handkerchief?" she demanded. The small boy looked at her for a few seconds and then, in a dignified tone, came the answer: "Yes, I have, but I don't lend it to strangers." To prevent the misuse of motor trucks a device has been patented that automatically checks their speed if driven faster than a set rate. A rubber stamp to be strapped to the palm of the hand to date eggs as they are taken from nests has been patented by a Minnesota inventor. For jewelers an Englishman has invented a magnifying glass to be attached to spectacles that can be swung to one side when not in use. press has attributed to him, nor is he as unpleasant to look upon as has been stated. In fact, he might, from manner and demeanor, be taken for any recently arrived southern boy of more than average intelligence. The theater was packed. Skii has been granted a license to box in N. Y. His Horses Win! Roanoke, Va.—At the fair, held in this city on Sept. 18, 23. Joe Burks won the pacing race for two days in succession. His time was 2 min. 17 sec. St. Alcar won first place in all of the races in which he was entered. Both of these horses are owned by Joseph Gill, an Afro-American business man of this city, and a race horse owner. Siki-Godfrey Bout Philadelphia, Pa.—Jack Hannon, matchmaker of the Arena, has battling Siki signed for an eight-round, no decision bout with George Godfrey on Oct. 8. Godfrey was one of Dempsey's sparring partners and by many is considered one of the best "heavies" in the country. He will go 220 pounds to the Frenchman's 180. Jack's Appeal Refused. New Haven, Conn.—Former Champion Jack Johnson made a personal appeal to Gov. Templeton to be granted a license to box for money in Connecticut. It was "turned down." They certainly have it in for Jack. The South Loses G. O. P. Delegates. Washington, D. D.—Thirty-two delegates were knocked off the representation of five southern states at Republican national conventions, by the Republican national committee, recently. Georgia was cut down from 17 to 8; South Carolina, 11 to 4; Mississippi, 12 to 4; Texas, 23 to 17; Louisiana, 12 to 4. CANNED WHALE ON THE MARKET IS A TOOTHSOME DELIGHT, AN EPICUREAN JOY. And Steaks! Ah, Enter Our Little Butchershop Mr. and Mrs. Sea-Cow and Family. Canned whale—a little bit of him in one can—is on the American market, and Chicagoans who attended the food show at the Coliseum were shown how to avenge poor Jonah. Also it is declared that the avenging is really a pleasure, a toothsome delight, an epicurean joy, one that will compare most favorably with the gastronomic consumption of bacon and other pig products in the near future when the supply of hogs can be corralled within the most acute anglers known to mensuration. Also, beefsteaks from the sea are possibilities, say those who have enjoyed lifelong acquaintance with the manatee. And beefsteak will be no misnomer in this case, for is not the manatee a sea-cow? Floridans say scaecows are delicious when cooked and served, and that by nature they are so agreeable and docile that they will make no objection whatever to being bured abattoirward. Enter then Mrs. Manatee and the little Manatees which latter may find themselves classified in the best of butcher shops as seaveal. And the walrus? Yes, the walrus, too might enlist, for there are so many of him that countless thousands of persons could be fed on a herd from one single ice floe. Of course, it would be necessary to find the ice floe, but it could be found. To enlist in Mr. Hoover's food conservation army, the walrus never, never would have to build up. He's always a big fellow, fat as butter, and that, of course, is a prime requisite for entrance to the Hoover ranks. Six inches of solid fat beneath his hide—that's the walrus' bedelothes. He yields to the Sandman on his bed of ice and the fatty blanket about his enormous body actually keeps him warm. So with fat at a premium and the walrus having such a surfeit of it—tho he'd say he needed it if he ever said—it might be a good idea to investigate the possibilities of food conditions in walrusland. Steaks from the walrus could hold their own with the most exclusive whale titbits and there are plenty of them in one weighing, say three or four tons. And gibbits! Walrus diver, kidneys, the heart—fine; ask any Eskimo. So it may come about that the sea which has cached in Davy Jones' locker, via the submarine, so much of life's edible necessities, may be made to yield more than enough to make up for the losses. WIRELESS TOWER IS DOOMED A wireless telegraphy invention eliminating the construction of the present towering steel structures or sending and receiving by simply stretching a wire along the ground for a short distance was announced at San Francisco by R. B. Wolverton, United States radio inspector, and his associate Palmer B. Hewitt, of Hollister, Cal. According to its discoverers, the new method has proved eminently successful in receiving messages from Honolulu, Sayville, and Arlington, Va. The experimenters assert their invention will entirely do away with towers costing thousands of dollars. Telegraph operators do business on a sound basis, even if it is done on tick.

California has so many of Nature's greatest wonders, including the Yosemite, the Big Trees, the highest mountain and the only active volcano in continental United States, that it is not surprising that some have been overlooked. One of its most remarkable as well as one of its most mysterious natural attractions lies hidden in the San Bernardino Mountains. These rise from 3,000 to 12,000 feet above the valley. On one of the most imposing of them, extending from near its top and covering fully seven and a half acres, a gigantic Indian arrowhead is superimposed. The point is directed toward the famous hot springs whose waters pour out of the mountainains in such volume that they have cut deep canyons as they push on to the mesa. Who formed this arrowhead, 2,500 feet up the mountaintide, who planted, with white sage brush, the seven and a half acres, within its clearly defined limits, a quarter of a mile long and 550 feet wide, in sharp contrast with the growth outside the line of demarcation, of thick chaparral, mesquit and chamisal? The Franciscan fathers saw it a century ago and it looked then as it does now. Of course there are Indian legends about it, for all this section was in possession of the roaming tribesmen until 60 or 70 years ago. One of the legends is that the Indians outlined the gigantic arrow on the highest hill to locate the springs in whose warm, bubbling waters they sought the healing power. No historian confirms this legend and few believe it, for the task of climbing 1000 feet up a steep mountainside to plant a seven-and-a-half acre plot with brush differing in appearance from that with which Nature's has clothed its countless hills would have taxed the superhuman. The Indian could have had neither resources nor patience for the understaking. It was Nature's work and the best proof of it is that, as long as memory runs, the gigantic arrowhead has kept its place unchanged and unchangeable, except for deep rifts in its surface caused by the floods of water from the melting snow. Nature could have carved the great arrow with a mountain cloudburst as its chisel, for scientists assert that a sudden torrential downpour of water might have struck a rock dividing on both sides and been brought together again, thus carving out an arrowhead, point downward. The thermal springs at Arrowhead are not shallow dripping pools, but deep, bubbling, flowing underground streams finding their sources in the underlying volcanic formation and pushing out to the surface in search of freedom. Paths have been built and are nearly so that the visitor can walk along the canyons in which the streaming waters flow. Their warmth keeps the grass green along these pathways and brings out a profusion of richly-tinted wild flowers. The bracing air is redolent of Nature's sweetest perfume.—Leslie's.

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." --- FACTS People who Advertise Can sell Goods. People who sell Goods Can make Money. People who make Money can advertise goods.

Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and gullotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again, to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. Colored Americans are the only race, responsible members of which are in favor of submitting to discrimination on the claim that their race "always will be discriminated against." The Jews are still contending, after over 1900 years of universal discrimination, and are winning even social rights today. The Irish at home have contended for 700 years and are winning because they will die rather than submit. The race that says it's of their resist, dews itself and the world then will say "Negroes are not worthy of equal rights; they are by nature without self-respect and have no 'guts.'" The world respects only those who resent and resist proscriptions for race. --- ```markdown ``` OUR LESSON THE MAN WHO DARES. 三 画 A 画 B 画 C 画 D 画 E 画 F 画 G 画 H 画 I 画 J 画 K 画 L 画 M 画 N 画 O 画 P 画 Q 画 R 画 S 画 T 画 U 画 V 画 W 画 X 画 Y 画 Z "I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, tolerant 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 friends."—Charles Sumner.

Many of them will need it greatly this winter. The same is true for many of our customers who do not own automobiles that are used for pleasure only. When a Jewish holiday comes along, as was the case, last week and a few weeks ago, Central and Scovill Avenues, streets in Cleveland that run thru the very heart of the district most thickly populated by our people, remind one of a graveyard, with nearly all of their places of business closed, Editor Wm. Warner of the Louisville KY area, and the North of the N.Y. Ago say this same condition prevails "everywhere in this country." About time then we were spending fewer millions of money, every year, attending conventions and naming long summer vacations at distant points, and putting some of it into business in our own districts that are now monopolized by members of other races or classes. Where we as a race, we as a person, we are not even EXCESS and PLEASURE. Not even EXCESS the Jews and the Irish—we verily believe that our people are the most verbose, "superlative" and wasteful of any on the face of the earth. Not another race or class in this country makes such a pitiful showing when it comes to business places, even in settlements of our own, as do our people. In spite of this fact just let them get together and O, how they can TALK and talk about the wonderful program that the Jewish community will make anyone, who knows the facts, sick at heart. isn't it about time ours, and pulp were telling the masses of our people the plain truth and "forcing it home? BEAT UP TWO WOMEN! Down in the American Heel—"Chly alrous" Southern White Brutes and Defenseless Women of The Race. Shreveport, La.—On Friday, Sept. 7, between 7 and 8 a.m. I was coming to town on the Highland car. At one of the stops in Kings Highway, I heard the conductor ask, "What did you say?" On looking around I found that he was talking to a young colored woman—the only one on the car. He opened the door of the car, the woman leaped from the car and began running. The conductor left his car and chase her nearly a block. He ran, and she did not see several times with his fist, holding his car key in the other hand. The woman showed no fight at all, her only defense being an attempt to escape; but this proved insufficient and the "brave, heroic" conductor gave the defenseless, helpless colored woman a brutal beating on the public highway. Several white men and a few colored men were on the car. Not one word was said in the defense of this unprotected, helpless colored woman. The who men said nothing possibly, they did not be mixed up with the affair, and the colored men said nothing because they knew that it would mean additional trouble in which they would get the worst of the deal regardless of the rightness of their stand. Two White Brutes Beat Colored Girl. A few weeks ago two white men beat a 15-year-old colored girl on Marshall St., in sight of the post office building and in the presence of many people. The girl was going up Marshall St. When she passed two girls, she did not learn, one of them slapped her down. When she stood on her feet, again, the other knocked her down with his fist. Then I went to the girl and picked her up. When I straightened up, one of the men struck me in the face with his fist, but I told the girl to go on in the opposite direction, which she did and manesse added in. I knew I was in for trouble when I attempted to lift the girl from the ground, but I decided that the risk was necessary. Nobody said anything in defense of this helpless girl or me, although several persons were lookers-on. No arrests were made—the girl simply was given a public thrashing on the public highway, and being ONL, we were not done about it. And there are people who wonder why the southern emigration!

MADAM SELIKA, OUR GREATEST SOLOIST! Roland Hayes, tenor, has been engaged for the coming season as soloist with the Boston and Detroit Symphony Orchestras. This is a distinction seldom attained by one of the race. Indeed, we recall but one other. Hayes recently returned from Europe, where he gave concerts in London, Paris and Vienna. He sang by royal command before King George at Buckingham Palace. Madam Marie Selika (Mrs. Sampson W. Williams), our greatest singer, for no member of the race has as yet reached her status as a vocalist, was solosist with Levy's great concert band of sixty or eighty musicians in music hall, this city, years ago, and sang with the organization in other cities. The editor of The Gazette's heart still swells with pride as he recalls the scene here. Just imagine, if you were among the crowd of five thousand people, many of whom were among Cleveland's wealthiest and best residents (very few of our people present and they distributed in about all sections of the great hall). Then "see the large stage almost covered with the great concert band which was rated better than Sousa's, Marine band and on a par with the famous Pat. Gilmore's and Cappa's, the two best concert bands in the country at the theatre and as good as any concert that have issued a concert stage in this country since. In the middle of the first of the two parts of the program that memorable evening, a door opens at the right of the stage (as you "face" it) and through it comes the Madam immediately followed by the great cornet-solist (possibly the greatest in the world at the time) and concert-band leader, Mons. Levy, with his left hand raises the Madam's right a trifle raised platform (back of her) to the front-center of the stage in the midst of his large band while the audience applauds. He then ascends a small and slightly raised platform (back of her) to direct his organization while it is furnishing the accompaniment for her classical selection (song). He escorts her to the stage door, at its completion, while the splendid audience with storms of applause voices its delight. All of the foregoing is repeated, with returns that the Madam complies with merely an appearance and bow instead of a second encore as the audience so greatly desires. Madam Selika was "a gem of the very finest" as a singer; she was really a great artist, a great soprano soloist, and so recognized by the best critics at home and abroad. She, too, sang throughout Europe, appearing in concert in London with Carloia Patti who at the time was an even greater concert soprano than her since more famous sister, Adelina, who was the world's "queen of song" on the concert stage for so very many years. Roland Hayes, who is a tenor soloist bids fair to ascend to the artistic heights attained by Madam Marie Selika and we sincerely trust that he does. He has a greatenable voice judging domestic and foreign reports of musical critics. This race of ours admittedly has great musical ability, particularly vocal, and ought to have produced more than one great artist in the last quarter of a century and more. If we could but "do the drudgery that brings perfection or near-perfection", we would long ago have had a fair share of the artists of the world. In closing it might be truthfully added that this same thing is what prevents our making a proper showing in many other fields of endeavor. Mr. Hayes is apparently soon to become our second artist as far as the vocal department of the profession is concerned.

A "Wilberforce" Victory! "THAT STORY ABOUT THE OLD DARKEY." By William Pickens. He did not get one word further. And he would never have gotten to finish that speech, if two of the national officers of the N. A. A. C. P. had not finally got up and appealed to the audience to let him go on, after he had effectually apologized. For the rest of his speech he pronounced the word NEGRO in good sound, round syllables. He had learned a lesson which he will not forget till his dying day—and none of the white people who sat and observed his humiliation will ever forget. But we pay him one compliment: He was brave enough to acknowledge his error, effectively, and to make his speech—a pretty good one. And he had come to the meeting to "represent the governor of the state," too. Ten thousand colored people, from all over the United States, were there to hear him, and the other speakers. And bad habit took him. In his clubs and behind colored folks' backs, and to that breed of Negroes who will listen to naive insult and not hit back, he had been accustomed to speak affectionately (7) of "the old darkies"—and when he got before this group, his tongue slipped. That was all. When you cultivate bad manners in secret and at home, those manners are likely to follow you in public and abroad, if you don't look out. After that, he would listen to voices on the platform, among which was the voice of Bishop John Hurst, cried out: "The old WHAT?" The audience began to clap its hands, and every time that white man opened his mouth after that, 20,000 hands would clap, so that he could not hear his own voice. It was excruciatingly humiliating. He was not going to be permitted to speak to that audience one word further, although he was frantically correcting himself by shouting: "The COLORED man, the old NEGRO man," in his efforts to get on. After the lesson was sufficiently impressed, some of the officers of the N. A. A. C. P. arose and asked that he be permitted to go on, and he was allowed to speak. He made a pretty good speech. He had learned unmistakably that the word "darkey" is not essential to a good speech. GOOD! Now, this fellow would never have even attempted to begin a speech to an audience of Irish by "the old Mick"—to an audience of Jews by "the old Sheeeny"—to an audience of Italians by "the old Dago"—to an audience of Chinese by "the old Chink"—to an audience of Mexicans even by "the old Greaser"—and NEVER AGAIN will he begin to a colored audience with "the old Darkey." It was habit—habitual disrespect for a race. It can only be changed by the DEMAND of that race, made as it was made in Convention Hall, Kansas City, Mo. "Amen!" Oklahoma City, Okla. - How white brutes, a masked mob (Ku Kluxes) at Tulsa, this state, after mercilessly beating an Afro-American, cut off one of his cars and tried to force him to cat it, was made public, Sunny, by Gov. J. C. Walton, in the form of a gory given the Tulsa military court, by J. H. Smiltherman, the victim. "This is only one of the hundreds of such crimes committed which the civil authorities of this state refused to prosecute," declared the execu- sive, ask the people of the civilized world, presence of this testimony, if I was not justified in proclaiming martial law in the city of Tulsa?" Gov. Walton said "the Ku Klux Klan is bound to become an issue in the next national election," that he "believed the Klan was licked in this state," and that he is prepared to go on indefinitely with his campaign to the miserable lawless organization. Worse Than Barbarians! J. H. Smitherman, the victim referred to, related how on the night of March 10, 1922, he was summoned to his door by twelve white brutes (Kluxers), eight of whom were masked, forced into an automobile at the point of revolvers, taken into the country, stripped of his clothing, hooded and tied to a tree, where hospitalers in the palm of registering Afro-Americans and admiring them to vote against the city administration A "Wilberfor The Troubles Straightened C and Williamson Given Beaten and Exposed But (The Tourgee News Service. ) Wilberforce, O.—There is great rejoicing all about the campus, these days. A great victory has been won and the Misses Lucinda Cook and Anna Williamson, two of the very best and most popular teachers "Wilberforce" has ever had, are to remain. The board of trustees at its meeting, last Saturday, "cleared the decks" and "dumped" Trustee Ormond Forte of Cleve land and his satellites, "good and proper." They tried to force the teachers named out of the Combined (State) Normal & Industrial Department of Wilberforce University by reducing their salaries and demoting Miss Cook. That it would injure the school seemed to give them no concern. This, in the face of the fact that the board had set aside 50% of the state's appropriation to be used in the school of teachers' salaries. It was a joint meeting of the university board of control and the C. N. & I. board that settled matters. Prof. Richard Bundy was made superintendent of the C. N. & I. department. Miss Cook restored to her old position as director of elementary training and Miss Williamson restored with an increase of salary. Good! Prof. Winters, (white), state director of teacher training, met with the boards and spoon- "THAT STORY ABOUT By William He did not get one word further to finish that speech, if two of the m had not finally got up and appealed after he had effectually apologized. nounced the word NEIGHBOR he goo learned a lesson which he will do of the white people who sat and ob get.

Then he was beaten severely by two of his abductors, he declared, adding: "One would whip until he exhausted himself and then the other would whip me." Threatened With Death. "Finally." Smitherman testified, "the man who spit in my face stuck a gun to my head and said: 'I am going to kill you.' But one of the unmasked ones dissented, so they talked it over privately for a few minutes. Then the man who startled to kill me and then out and cut off of my ear. Then tried to make me eat it and, when I refused, he took the butt off of the whip and beat me in the face until he was tired, all the time trying to make me eat my car. Finally I turned me loose and told me to leave Oklahoma, warning if I did not, one of the twelve would kill me." Smitherman testified that he told his captors he had advised all the Afro-Americans he could to register as Democrats and vote that ticket because he himself was a Democrat. He said he denied the accusation concerning mis-conduct toward a white woman. Smitherman and his brother were prosperous residents of Tulsa and are intelligent men, respected by all the decent people of the place. ce" Victory! Out—Bundy, the Misses Cook Justice—Trustee Forte Everybody Happy Him derfully well of the Misses Cook and Williamson, as he always does, because they are among the best teachers in the state, without reference to race or class, and he frankly says to race or class, and he frankly says to sb. Bishop J. H. Jones, who has been so very ill for many weeks, stood up like a giant for the teacher, and given me aid it. The only discernible sound in the meeting was Forte's ridiculous whine. Of course it was ignored. He was among MEN, not children, and it was unworthy of notice. His time as a trustee has expired and there are none who could even dream of Gov. Donahay's reappointing him. For it should never have been appointed a member of the board. It was a mistake, and he netted him the appointment. Capt. Walter Thomas was there, too, and did some very effective and excellent work. The veteran is still a potent factor and gave prime evidence of the fact, last week. Of course there were others, trustees, all of whom are deserving of the greatest praise and are getting it. The teacher's "Wilberforce" continue to go forward and she will, too. The institution has made splendid progress in the last six or eight years and its future is now brighter than it has been for a long, long time. "THE OLD DARKEY." Pickens.

DISTILL STUMPS FOR BIG PROFITS DISTILL STUMPS FOR BIG PROFITS MINNESOTA SETTLER UTILIZES BASE OF PINE TREES TO EXTRACT PRODUCTS New Process Turns Curse of Millions of Acres to Blessing. This resistance of the pine stump to the efforts of the settlers in the northern part of Minnesota and Wisconsin has been one of the greatest drawbacks to the development of millions of acres of cutover land. The difficulty and expense of clearing this pine stump infested region has worked untold hardships upon the sturdy men and women who have gone into this region to carve out farms and homes for themselves. It takes considerable labor and money to convert a raw piece of stump land into a farm. Some settlers in this district, to be sure, have had enough capital to clear their farms up quickly despite the opposition of the pine stump, but a larger percentage of them are men and women who are trying to get a start with little money to assist them. Now comes Aladdin with his music lamp to assist the settler. In comes the magic process which can turn these stumps which have been the enemies of man for decades, into salable products. The Norway pine stumps in this northern country are to be converted into turpentine, crossover, wood stains, disinfectants, tree sprays, sheep and cattle dips, pine oils and pine tars. And the value of it all lies not in the merp fact that commerce has found a means of making something valuable out of these black, grim stumps, but that it furnishes the settler with the means of clearing his land, turning his property into a real farm. Akeley, Minn., is the center of the district which is to furnish the northwest with the model after which other similar plants will be patterned. Over 50,000 acres of pine stumps in this district are under the contract of the firm. Hubbard county will long bless the day that turned this plant her way, for it means that her latent farms will become real farms and that the amount of agricultural produce will double and redouble in the near future. The method used in a combination of destructive and steam distillation. The stumps will be dynamised by setters on the land covered by contract. Teams and derricks will then jerk the twisted roots from the ground and the stumps will be hauled to the central factory. Machinery will cut these stumps across the grain into small pieces. These pieces will be placed in cars and run into big airlight retorts. Under these retorts a fire will be started and kept burning from twenty-four to thirty hours. In the end of the pine stump will be converted into so many products that it will rival the dairy cow. Many different products are obtained as the fire slowly heats the stumps. As the vapor arises from the steaming, cooking wood it is carried through long pipes into a condenser and reduced to liquid form. This is the crude product from which most of the ly-products are made when it is refined. The light oils from the crude distillate are made into impure light rosin spirits, destructive wood turpentine and pine oils. The heavy oils from the distillate are made into rosin oil, pitch and pine oils. The remainder of the distillate is converted into acetate of lime and wood alcohol. The tar runs out of the bottom of the air tight retort into a separate tank and is later refined. The residue in the retort is a fine grade of charcoal. The distillation of pine stumps for the extraction of turpentine is a process that is not altogether new in this country. The extraction of by-products of many kinds however, is practically unknown in America. Some of the European countries have plants that have operated successfully for many years. It is said that conditions are more favorable for the manufacture of by-products from pine stumps in this country than in Europe. There is little doubt that there is far more stump infested territory. It is estimated that there are about 1,000,000 acres of such land in Minnesota alone. The United States department of agriculture thinks so well of the industry that it has investigated every phase of it, preparatory to the furnishing of information that shall lead to its general establishment in our own country. The government chemists place the cost of converting stumps into all by-products at from $5 to $10 a cord. The value of the ultimate products, in contrast, has been found to range as high as $36. In a recent test with Norway stumps it was found that ninety-four and a half cords produced staple products worth $4,369.95. A sanitary container for a toothbrush, comprises a tube, the end of which is partially closed by a ring which serves as a container for a disinfecting fluid, the fumes from which envelop the toothbrush, and keep it free from contamination. The odor of a well cooked dinner is the incense of real domestic happiness. SUBTRACTS, DIVIDES Novel Calculating Device invented by Office Man After Months of Thought and Work. Despite the fact that there are various kinds of adding machines it has remained for an Iowa man to invent a machine that not only adds, but subtracts, multiplies and divides. This is the device invented by Jesse Spurgeon office man in an Ottumwa grocery house. In speaking about the machine the inventor explained how his invention is the result of a remark he made to a salesman for one of the various calculating devices on the market. He tells it in his own words as follows: "The house with which I am connected has several listing adding machines and I consider them indispensable, but I've never thought enough of the nonlisting calculators that are on the market as advertised as multipliers to advise their use in our office. "An agent for a calculator was in our office extolling the merits of his machine as a multiplier when, in a joking way, I remarked that some time I might go 'bug house' trying to make a real multiplying machine if the adding machine companies didn't get busy and produce one. "Some time later this conversation was recalled to my mind when I was in a serious mood and the result is my calculator which is not only an adding machine but also a multiplier. It of course took many months of thought to solve the principle when found was simplicity itself. It then took months to make a working model which would demonstrate the principle. The model was made by George H. Haller of Ottumwa and his work on my machine excited the admiration of all those who have seen it. "My machine has a lever on one side which slides over a plate indexed from one to nine. With the lever at one it is an adding machine just like the best calculators that are now on the market. Set the lever at any other number up to nine and any key figure or figures pressed will multiply by that number. For example set the lever at nine and press 789. The one pressure registers the product 7.101. The best calculator on the market requires nine pressures. 224 times 978 requires three pressures of the keys on my machine as against twenty-four pressures on other calculators. "I might add that a negative action of the principle solves the division and that my machine when manufactured will be simple in construction, moderate in cost and that it will add, multiply, subtract and divide." STUDY PAWS ON DOGS Experts Can Tell Breed of Animals Different Ways. To die like a dog does not always mean忍耐y, for obviously, it depends very largely on the dog. Old dog Tray, for instance, whom grief could not drive away, was doubtless attended by so much grief himself, when about to pass away, that death probably may have had an added terror to it. At any rate, he is enshrined in the old fashioned song, just as Stuccel, who lived centuries before Tray, is memorialized in stone. This old tombstone is in Thuringia and dates from 1630. The inscription records that it was erected to the memory of the remarkable dog Stuccel, which belonged to Prince von Warenheim's master of the hunt. Can you tell what breed of dog it is? Study its head, its paws and its tail? "Why be hypercritical?" queries Col. Thomas Gater, qualified as an international beach expert. "The sculptor was evidently doing his best, and, to us, at this remote period, the breed has little significance. The big fact is that here was the dog of a sportsman prince that was so efficient, so intelligent, so deeply loved that he was given a monument nearly 300 years ago, when dogs had not the intensive vogue they now enjoy." PARING MACHINE IS SUCCESS Will Peel Whole Peck of Vegetables in One Minute. A machine for paring vegetables, which is said to do the work better than it can be done by hand in much less time, has been recently invented. With the machine it is claimed a peck of vegetables can be pared in one minute. The machine consists of a bowl with an abrasive lining. This bowl in the center of which a stream of water is discharged and in which the vegetables to be peeled are placed, is revolved by a small motor. The centrifugal movement causes each vegetable to strike against the abrasive lining. The water softens the skins of the vegetables and with the rough surface quickly scraps the skin off. The water passing thru the machine carries off all the dirt and refuse leaving the vegetables smooth and clean. The only hand work required is in the removal of the eyes in the potatoes or the cleaning of indentations too deep to be reached by the mechanical process. CAN DRAW ECLIPSE Man Mounts Iron Ring on Stand Before Lamp. A perfect eclipse can be drawn on paper by mounting an iron ring on a stand between an electric lamp and a vertical drawing board. A shadow will be cast on the board from the ring, and will assume various forms of eclipses as the ring is turned. The size of the eclipse may be varied by moving the circle nearer to or further from the lamp. SWEET POTATO ORIGINAL TUBER Dolongs to Entirely Different Family Than Irish Variety. The true potato is the sweet potato, and not the white or Irish potato. The Journal of the American Medical Association, in tracing the history of potatoes, gives Humboldt as authority for the statement that it was the sweet potato which Columbus took back from the new world to lay at the feet of Isabella of Castel. Again when Falshtaff in "The Merry Wives of Windsor" exclaims "Let the sky rain potatoes * * hall kissings and snow eringoes" it is to sweet potatoes that he refers, for he classes them among sweet meats. The sweet potato belongs to a different family from the white. The former is a cousin of the morning glory; the latter of the deadly nightshade. It contains more mung than the Irish potato and also a yellow coloring matter called xanthophyll. Many interesting researches are being made into the complex sugars of the sweet potato and the Journal of the American Medical Association expresses the hope that these may have a practical—a gastronomic—outcome. At "its best" writes the learned editor, "and rightly cooked (baked in its jacket, so that the rich, black, syrupy juice is encrusted wherever the cook's fork has pierced it), this vegetable is a unique delicacy. As it reaches our northern markets, or at any rate, our northern tables, however, it is too often dry and insipid. Would that science could procure and insure for us the sweet potato as the south knows it at its detectable primus. It may be remarked that the truest epicures have ever been found among doctors, for they know better than kymean that good digestion results from finely flavored, daintily cooked food, and that the meal really enjoyed is half digested. FINE LUBRICATING OIL FROM JAW OF PORPOISE Industry Finds New Source of Supply Off North Carolina—Substitute Never Discovered. The oil that tuberculates the wheels of watches is obtained from the jaw bone of that interesting animal, the purpose—commonly mistaken for a fish. The purposes which supply the oil are found on the Diamond shoals off Cape Hatteras, some distance from the mainland of North Carolina. The beaches of this desolate region are accessible only by small beats. Here the sturdy fishermen lug in the sleek, graceful porpoise, which for many years was considered useless and superfluous by the residents of Hatteras, who devoted their time to catching the shad, mullet, kingfish crum, pigfish and sturgeon which are still found there in abundance. It was an old whaleman from New Bedford, Mass., who discovered that the fluid melted from the marrow and jaw bone of the porpoise acts as a first class lubricator for delicate machinery when properly strained. At the time of his discovery the most delicate machine was probably the chronometer which had to run for a four years' voyage without oiling and it is from this discovery that the porpoise oil industry developed. Engaged in the catching of porpoise for this purpose at one time were some of the best known families of New Bedford, but the whaling industry declined with the discovery of petroleum and, with the passing of the whaling industry the production of porpoise oil also waned. At the same period the production of instruments of exquisite precision increased and it became possible to manufacture watches so cheaply that scarcely any one is now too poor to carry one. With the decline of the porpoise jaw oil industry and the whale fishery and the increased demand for oil for watches and clocks, other oils were put upon the market, made from minerals, nuts and even calves hoofs. These were good general lubricants, but unsatisfactory for watches. One of them had a tendency to evaporate, another would creep all over the movement thus reducing the amount necessary to keep the pivot lubricated and so on. Consequently porpoise jaw oil producers sought for a new source of supply. The Smithsonian institution was called upon for aid and after much expense and investigation the banks of North Carolina, inshore from the Diamond Shoals, were found to be the feeding ground for the porpoise. It is claimed for porpoise jaw oil that it will not chill, gum or evaporate under long use and severe conditions and for that reason it is used by Arctic explorers. It is also in demand by makers of all kinds of delicate machinery from adding machines to railroad signals. Of ordinary farm implements, the sulky plow has the shortest life in years but ran's second only to the walking plow in total days of service rendered. Its life is a little over 8 years, while its total of days' work is 119, as compared with 11 1-2 years and 224 days for the walking plow. ARE YOU SICK?
