We, Colored Americans, finding ourselves forced to live in this, our own native country, under conditions absolutely unique for their abnormality and adverseness from those put upon any other race variety or element native or foreign born, singled out for maltreatments, limitations, denials of privileges because of race, almost none of which other racial elements receive, do, through the National Equal Rights League of Cofored Americans in 16th annual session assembled in Brooklyn, N. Y., Sept. 26-29, '33, PETITION YOU, PRAY YOU;
To take cognizance of the mob murder lynching custom, steadily practiced now for 40 years with 4,000 humans mostly of us, done to death with fendish tortures without semblance of trial, unstopped by laws or agencies of the state. We pray you to advocate and publicly declare for the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill and to recommend it in your message to congress. Pray tell us whether you favor it, thus giving hope to our people, and;
To take cognizance of the too long-tolerated violation of *Sec. 2* of the 14th Article of the Constitution whereby illegally disfranchised adult Colored citizens are counted for the number of members of the National House of Representatives from several states respectively. We pray you, renowned for advocacy of obedience to law, to declare against this injustice. this violation of the federal law, and urge congress to initiate means to bring compliance with the constitution. We pray your answer; and
To take cognizance of the segregating and herding together, apart from others, of Colored Americans in public conveyances, even in interstate commerce and transportation, a treatment normal in a republic only for defective, diseased, criminal humane and for the lower animals; and
To take cognizance of the refusal by the federal government to permit colored men to enter West Point, or the federal military, citizens training camps except segregated, and when applicants are sufficiently numerous to make up a unit, or permit Colored military units to be incorporated in regiments with other American soldiers, or permit these or even whole Colored regiments to be part of that region's division. We pray you to remove, this color discrimination and ask your answer, and;
To take cognizance of the failure to admit Colored youth to Annapolis or to enlist them, or permit them to become sailors, marines, seamen, or even petty officers, except in the mess or as coal passers and trimmers or as oilers, and to abolish this race discrimination. We pray your answer, and.
To free by pardon or on parole the Colored soldiers of the gallant 24th in Fort Leavenworth federal prison already so long for retaliation, poorly proven or not proven at all, against goading insult and provocation and insult to women of their race. We do now ask whether you will grant this special plea for clemency, and;

To require of Mexico before resuming full diplomatic relations, that the present race and color immigration bar against U. S. citizens be removed and that there be no such bar in the future. We do now pray your answer, and finally;
To take cognizance of the segregation remaining from the last southern Democratic administration, or enlarged since, of the Colored employees of the federal government itself in the very federal government buildings in the executive departments of which you are the supreme head, and to abolish it altogether by executive order or somewhat thus undoing direct humiliation and hurtful degradation of citizens by the U. S. A. itself. Most earnestly do we pray this as to your department and pray you tell us now.
"KNOCKED IN THE HEAD."
The "Powder River" Jim-Crow Theater Attempt—Prompt and Proper Action"Did the Business"—Personal—Lodge—Political,
Springfield, O.—"Powder River," a moving picture of the important battles of the World War, is being shown at a local theater, under the auspices of "disabled veterans" of the World War. It was announced that "the entire second balcony would be reserved for colored people." This was a rotten insult and was so regarded by the members of Antonio Bailey post, A. L. Consequently articles appeared in the local papers, asking our people to stay away from the theater, and they were prepared to "picket" it, if necessary. It was not necessary, however, as the objectifiable lines disappeared from the advertisements and the attempt at "jim-crowing" our people discontinued—Jesse A. Thomas of N. Y. City, N. U. L. sec., was the guest of Miss Katherine Jones, Saturday and Sunday. She entertained at supper, Saturday evening, in his honor. Covers were laid for six. Miss Nannie Parker has inflammatory rheumatism—The Masons went to Dayton, Sunday, to assist in the laying of the cornerstone of the new "Eaker St." A. M. E. church—The C. R. P. league had a large and enthusiastic meeting, Friday evening. Instructions as to the qualifications of candidates, in the coming campaign, were given.
VOTE FOR NIEDING!
John A. Nieding, age 41, was born at Vermilion, Ohio. He has practiced law in the City of Cleveland for the past twenty years. He is a graduate of Western Reserve University. His campaign for municipal judge consists solely in advertising and he has asked and will ask the support of no organization whatever. If elected, he desires to be under no obligation to any person and every man coming into his court may rest assured of a fair and impartial hearing irrespective of religion, race or creed. The Gazette urges its readers, voters, to support Mr. Nieding, because it is to our interest to do so. Remember John A. Nieding and help elect him a municipal judge.

Baltimore, Md.—The two other boats, in addition to the Yarmouth, were the Kanawha and the Shudyside. The Kanawha was a yacht
built by Seabury's Shipbuilding Company for some millionaire in 1907. During the war she was commandered by the U. S. government for use in the navy and war-time use had practically put her boilers and engine out of commission. She was a very valuable piece of property in her day, but at the time she was purchased by The Black Star Line Company she was worth but very little and to put her in shape again would cost thousands of dollars. However, the company had paid $65,000 for her which was $55,000 more than she was worth. The Kanawha was of no material value, was no good for commercial purpose, and could not even be used successfully in the West Indian intercolonial trades. She had been very speedy, and consumed more coal than would clear her expenses. She was equipped with Seabury water tube boilers and the most delicate and high powered piece of machinery any ship could have. At the time she was bought by The Black Star Line her boiler's tubes had been practically burnt out and her machinery, condensers and evaporators were all out of commission. I failed to see why such a ship was bought. She had no cargo space and could only accommodate thirty-five passengers. The Kanawha made several vain attempts to sail from New York for the West Indies. The first was made by a white captain (Captain Swift), the very man from whom they had bought the ship, and who recommended her as a first-class ship. This man could not take the ship any further than the Jersey coast and had to put in at Philadelphia. He left her there because the ship was not sea-worthy. She was towed back to New York and after lying there, a few months, Mr. Garvey decided to make his excursion tour of the West Indies and Central America in his yacht, the Kanawha. He thereupon contracted with the Morse dry dock in Staten Island to repair the ship for $25,000 and, after a wait of about two months, he had to leave for the West Indies without the Kanawha. Not knowing any better, O. M. Thompson, vice president and general manager of the Black Star Line, extended President Garvey's contract with the Morse Dry Dock Co. from $25,000 to $45,000 for the contemplated repairs on the Kanawha. When the Dry Dock Co. announced the completion of the repairs, I warned him that the ship was NOT completed and that she would never reach the West Indies adding: "If she happens to get there, she will never return." I knew the work on the water-tube boilers was not done as it should have been. However, my advice was ignored, as usual, and the ship sailed; this time under Captain Richardson, a member of the race. As soon as the ship got outside of New York-harbor, she broke down and had to return for repairs. After putting in some more tubes in her boilers, she sailed again. This time she reached Nqfork, Va. Then limped to Florida and Havana. It took the Kanawha 25 days to get to Cuba. A ship in good condition could make the run in three days, but as I said before she was lucky to get there at all. After some extensive repairs in Havana, she managed to get to Santiago, Cuba, and from there to Kingston, Jamaica, but crippled for fair. They tried to proceed to Colon, but could not make it. However, after Mr. Garvey

spent $10,000 more on her in Jamaica she succeeded in reaching Antilla, Cuba where she is, still lying at anchor, if the Cuban government has not sold her for harbor dues. This was the end of $65,000 paid to Mose Dry Dock and other companies for repairs. In addition there were numerous other expenses incurred in the effort to run the ship. The Kanawha must have cost about $200,000, in all, of the Black Star Line Co.'s money and, in return, never turned in to it one cent. I have shown how very expensive and unseaworthy was the boat, Yarmouth; in article 1. In this article, I have covered the expensive and also unseaworthy Kanawha, the second of the Black Star Line's three boats. In my next and last article, I will cover the third boat's experiences, etc., and explain the "mystery ship," the Phyllis Weatley, and explain the status of the Orion deal which never went thru.

SATURDAY, OCT. 20, 1923
Why should America try to help restore peace in Europe when it can't even restore peace in Oklahoma?
Americans may not agree with Lloyd George, but they will accord him the courteous treatment we always extend to a visitor. Mr. Lloyd George may have the satisfaction of knowing that the hoodlums who threw eggs at him in New York City are not Americans. They may be citizens, technically, but their interests are still in Europe. It is too bad that they cannot be deported to the land where their hearts are.
Business must be bad or at a standstill at the Empire Savings and Loan Co. Its president and secretary are both candidates for office. Wonder what its stockholders think. There isn't another Savings and Loan Co. in the city of Cleveland that would stand for such as that. Murrell and Chaucey are each paid a salary by the company to look after its business. They ought to resign or be forced to do so. And if the directors and stockholders are wise they will see that one of these two things take place immediately. It will not take much more to entirely destroy the limited confidence in the young race business enterprise, the Empire Savings & Loan Co.
Two unidentified Italians were killed, and a policeman shot in a fight at Scovill Ave. and E. 25th St. Thursday night. Police of the third precinct and the first received a call at 8:30 p.m. M.飞翔 squadrons were rushed to the scene. They found the two Italians dead in a building. Patrolman Benj. Jenkins of the Third precinct was found with a bullet wound over the heart. He was rushed to Charlottesville hospital and was taken to county morgue. There was a fight between Jenkins and the Italians. Jenkins was unconscious and unable to make any statement. Thursday night's outbreak follows a series of murders and cutting affrays in the same district which began about midnight last Saturday and which already had resulted in the deaths of Howard Gause, age 27, of 2123 E. 53rd St.; James Gause, age 25, of 2205 E. 53rd St.; Neal Long, age 21, of 2207 E. 53rd St.; and Robert J. Schreiber, age 24, of 2621 Delora Ave. As a result of two of these crimes two women are being held for the grand jury on murder charges. They are Mrs. Bessie Ferguson of 2205 E. 14th St. and Genevieve Wallace, age 24, of 2534 E. 14th St. County Prosecution Stanton declared, after these killings, that "murders in the Central-Scovillian neighborhood have taken the intended to make every effort to send guilty parties to the electric chair. — Cleveland Dally Timestamp. Oct. 12. '23
Since this sort of thing has been going on for the past five or six years and is a very common thing in that district, it is about time for Prosecutor Stanton and others to wake up. The greatest crying need of the Central-Scovill-Woodland Ave. district is better police protection and has been for at least five years, and we cannot understand the mayor's continued refusal to give it. Maybe it is because our ministers and churches in the district refuse to demand it.
Last Saturday, two drug addicts were sentenced to Warrensville by Judge Greene and a third man, arrested with them, was held by federal narcotic agents on a charge of selling to them. The trio had completed a deal at E. 33rd St. and Scovill Ave., in which a large quantity of morphine exchanged hands. Narcotic Agent Jos. Murphy charged. Wm. Adams, 2117 Central Ave., held in connection with the sale, previously had sold to government informers, it was alleged. The wards 11 and 12 seem to the entire com-

munify to be the "dope," "hooch," crime and immoral center of the city, Councilmen Finkle and Fleming have never shown the least interest in the really terrible conditions existing in the Central-Scovill Woodland Ave. district but, on the contrary, OPPOSED the efforts, two years ago, of the good people of ward 11 to get rid of the miserable starlight-Fleming political control that not only permitted the sad conditions to exist but apparently encouraged them to continue and multiply. Next month, the people will have another chance to get rid of both Finkle and Fleming as councilmen and undoubtedly take advantage of it. It won't be so easy, this time, owing to the greatly increased size of the voting territory, to COUNT in one or both of them. Two years ago, the contests were waged in WARDS 11 and 12. This time, the third DISTRICT includes both of these wards and all the other territory between E. 79th St. and the river, on the east and west, respectively; and the Lake and Kingsbury run (in the valley), on the north and south, respectively.
Since Dr. Joe T. Thomas, Herbert S. Chaucey and Howard Murrell were not allied with the good people of ward 11, two years ago, in their heroic effort to unload the "Star-Tom" incubus, it is only fair to presume that they were enlisted under the Starlight-Fleming banner, and "Starlight" Boyd, the most notorious Negro-gambler, etc. Cleveland has ever produced; one who prided himself on being known as "the boss of the underworld" in that section of the city.

COOLIDGE KILLS CANCELLATION.
The program of the American Bankers' Association for cancellation of part of the debts owing to the United States has struck a rock and before long all hands may be expected to desert the ship. While it is possible the Democrats will include cancellation in their presidential platform next year, it is certain that the Republicans will not. President Coolidge proceeds on the principle that it is the people's money which the A. B. A. would like to wipe off the books. In effect, his answer to the bankers' demands for cancellation is that since the United States is prepared to forgive in interest charges the equivalent of the debt, outright cancellation would mean writing off the obligations several times over. The unfunded British debt was bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent, while the funding agreement calls for 3 per cent, the first ten years, and $3 1/2 per cent thereafter over a total period of 62 years on a principal of $4,600,000,000. The President feels that similar reductions will be granted to the other nations when they are prepared to fund their obligations to this country.

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."
Our advertisers want your trade. Those who do not ask for it in the columns of "The Old, Reliable" Gazette certainly care little, if at all, for it. Therefore, we urge our readers and all of our friends to patronize those who ask in this paper for your patronage.—Editor.

Wills Knocks Out Smith.
New York City—Harry Willis,
the de luxe heavyweight of New
york, last week Thursday night,
knocked out Homer Smith (winner
of Kalamazoo, Mich., in the second
round or a fifteen-round match in
the Queensborough stadium, Long
Island City. Smith is the "pug"
that Firpo failed to "kayo" and yet
harrie finished him quickly and easily.
Jack Dempsey and his friends
hawk in the side-step's all
enterts to get him to fight Willis,
all the time protesting his will-
ing to meet him. Harry is Dempsey's
master aid, down deep in their
hearts, he and they know that
that is the real reason. Public
opinion will, however, sooner or
after, force the match and then we
are going to bet (lay) some money
for the first time in our lives, and
we will put it on "the black panther," too. "Betcha, we'll win!"
White Virginians Poor Sportsmen.
New York City.—Washington and Lee University displayed poor sportsmanship when it refused to allow its football team to play against Washington and Jefferson because one of the best players on the latter's team was an Afro-American. The Washington editorial on the refusal which praises the fine playing of the Afro-American football star, is as follows:
"POOR SPORTMANSHIP"
"Those who saw Washington and Jefferson play Lafayette at the Polo Grounds, last year, are likely to remember the game as a perfect exposition of all methods of football played in the past, and likely to forget the work of Charles West at fullback for W. and J., and how he led his team through a splendid rally in the last quarter. West seemed to inspire his flagging mates, passing and running with such skill as to change defeat into victory in the closing minutes of play. West and the more striking because West was a tall, powerful Negro.
"Because of West's presence in the W. and J. line-up, Saturday, at the eleventh hour Washington and Lee declined to play the scheduled game at Washington, Pa. Suspended the men from Lexington and Washington, Pa. of West's prowess in the field. The coach from Virginia regretted calling in his men, but was acting on instructions from Lexington. The Virginians did not refuse to play until it was certain West would not be withdrawn from the line-up. Overtures to have him withdrawn
"It is unfair to say that Washington and Lee was inspired by a desire to dispose of the enemy's champion without striking a single blow. It is not unfair to say, however, that they were not good enough sportsmen to risk defeat at the hands of one they regarded as a social injustice or that they were not just say that as Virginians they maintained a shabby tradition, and as sportsmen they deprived themselves of all claim to recognition among those who maintain the brighter traditions of sport."
Our Athletes Stand for Fair-Play. Hampton, Va—Our Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which was organized twelve years ago at Hampton Institute by representatives of Howard, Lincoln, Union, Shaw, and Hampton, has just issued its "First Annual Bulletin." Through the influence of this association there has been a steady development of physical education and athletics in our schools and the improvement of the training of sportsmanship seen in intercollegiate contests. The C. I. A. A. is now a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association, the membership of which is composed of the most representative colleges and universities of America. The association has undertaken the work of encouraging baseball, basketball, and track athletics, as well as the selection and development of competent and impartial officials. The association has also endeavored to spread athletics in our sportsport, not only in universities, but in other schools. W. Rogers of the Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute at Petersburg, Va., who is the president of this association, has prepared "A review of the 1922 season in the C. I. A. A." "Let us hope," he says, "that the presidents and principals of institutions will constantly preach to their students the gospel of fair-play and true sportsmanship, and, whether we win or lose, let it be that way and that way is the honorable way." Gideon E. Smith, assistant director of athletics at Hampton Institute, outlines "What the Coach Can Do to Develop Clean Sport in Schools." He emphasizes the value of honest decisions, the spirit of fair-play, fairness in cheering, and the importance of eliminating the old spirit of "winning at any price." Louis L. Watson, director of physical education, Howard University, Washington, discusses the association's goal to Promote Track Athletics. The abstract of an address by Dr. J. L. Pescock, Raleigh, N. C., president of Shaw University, on "What the President Should Do to Develop Clean Sport" is included. The details of the constitution of
the association are given in this new publication, which also includes the minutes of the twelfth annual meeting, as well as a special meeting which was recently held. Charles H. Williams, director of physical education for boys at Hampton Institute, who is secretary-treasurer of the association, presents a financial statement. This bulletin includes a list of the lettermen for 1922 in football, basketball and baseball at Howard, Lincoln, Union, Shaw, Virginia Theological Seminary and College, Hampton, and Virginia Normal and Industrial Institute. The names of football, baseball, and basketball officials, who have been approved by the association, are also given. The officers of our Intercollegiate Athletic Association, in addition to those officially mentioned in the Association of Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va, first vice president; F. J. Rogers of Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., second vice president; W. R. Brown of Hampton Institute, third vice president; and Dean Geo. Johnson of Lincoln University, assistant secretary-treasurer.

MRS. MARY B. TALBERT DEAD.
Buffalo, N. Y.—Mrs. Mary B., wife of Mr. Wm. H. Talbert, died, Monday morning, at their residence here after several months' illness. Heart trouble. Mrs. Talbert is known best as a result of her activities in club and race work, having represented the former, several years ago, at an international women's organization in Europe. She was at one time president of our National Federation of Women's clubs. The outstanding feature of her work for the race was the raising of funds to save the Frederick Douglass home at Anacostia, D. C., to make of it a national headquarters for our N. Y. chapter. She and other relatives survive her and have the heartfelt sympathy of her many friends throughout this country and Europe.
HOW THE MOVING PICTURE IS MADE
There is a vast difference between even the writing of a clever play and the writing of a good, strong motion picture scenario. The very first things the newcomer must learn are the peculiar limitations and vast possibilities of the camera. A play is rehearsed and little changes made each day as the rehearsals continue. But each day one is looking at the thing in the form it is eventually to be seen. That is, the audience will hear the voices and actually see the person in the flesh as at the rehearsal of the play.
How different in the motion picture studio! A five-reel scenario, with its three or four hundred scenes, is ready for production. Rehearsals are in order. The voice is used and speeches uttered as at the rehearsal of the spoken drama. But just here is where the director who is a raw recruit, especially from the theater, is apt to be misled as to values. He must never forget for a moment that that voice is a negligible quantity as far as the finished product is concerned, and that only a photographic representation of the actor is seen. Here is one place where long and conscientious study of that sensitive instrument, the motion picture camera, is necessary. With the proper understanding of the camera and a careful study of the star's head, profile, three-quarters or full face, the wise director need only let his star be seen at her best. It would take more space than I am allotted to point out the things peculiar to motion picture production that must first be learned if one would be a successful producer. From the inception of the story, the writing of the scenario, the selection of the cast, the selection of the star, photography, development of film, cutting of film, splicing and subtitling—it is some long job, all of which needs to be thoroughly understood. To do it well, it were wisest to take off one's coat, roll up one's shirt sleeves, and go to it! Be a super if necessary. The top of the motion picture ladder of success has a few men who so began in the movies.
Many atrocities in motion picture production and some very fine things can be attributed to those who have entered the motion picture arena by way of the stage door. The atrocities result in a measure from a feeling of superiority and over-developed ego on the part of the playwright, directors and star from the spoken drama. They are always going to revolutionize the picture business and set heretofore unattained standards in motion picture production. It were better they attained the standards first, and then did their talking.—Film Fun.
An Iowa barber has invented a pair of ball-bearing barber shears, which promise to revolutionize the scissors industry. The are said to be far superior to the old sort of shears, will work much easier, cut better and will never wear out.

RACE PREJUDICE!
"I am convinced myself that there is no more evil thing in this present world than race prejudice; none at all!
"I write deliberately—it is the worst single thing in life now. It justifies and holds together more baseness, cruelty and abomination than any other sort of error in the world."
—H. G. Wells.

OUR LESSON
We must learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement. If we do not learn to govern ourselves and work together for our own advancement, we may be very sure that we will be governed by others in their own interest as well as worked by others for their own advancement and not ours.—George W. Blount.
CHARACTER.
Character, like a fine old tree, matures slowly and is a riper growth than success that is forced as hothouse products are forced. Character in a newspaper develops through years of service to the people. For forty years The Gazette has been serving our people of this country. It has gathered a reader-clientele whose tastes it reflects, and whose power and responsiveness to buy are direct measures of its present importance to every advertiser. EDITOR.
PROTEST AGAINST WRONG
To submit in silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare, must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox.

we could secure a dock in hope of

that time there was a strike of long-

whisky was drawn no demurrage

the ship to lose the thirty days. The

for the ship's up-keép with passen-

all the trouble of the Black Star
Line, there was a future for it that
no other steamship had had in Cuba.
The wealthy Cubans were so enthused
that they were willing to give con-
cessions, they were willing to secure
the trade, if the Black Star Line
would secure proper ships. They did
not think much of the Yarmouth, as
a commercial prospect, but they were

the éargo was not even assigned to

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

to be patched up at every port. Her

out, we left Havana with passengers

very bad shape and had to be welded

one could have handled that ship
with better skill. After our boilers
had been repaired, the ship coaled
and provisioned, we were ordered to
Colon. There were only a few pas-
sengers on board. On our arrival,
we were again greeted by thousands
of Negroes who had made elaborate
preparations for us. We spent three
days in Colon while the captain ar-
ranged to take 500 immigrants to
Cuba since the ship had no cargo. I
had to build accommodations in the
ship's hole for them. From Cuba,
we were ordered to Bocas Del Foro,
then to Admerantic (Republic of
Panama), where we loaded 100 tons
of cocoanuts. ‘Thence to Port Simon
(Republic of Costa Rica). We bad

ganda and the U. N. I. A. gained

sult. The prospect of trade was very
good. We then sailed to’ Santiago,
Cuba, where we landed our immi-
grante and sailed for Jamaica again.
On our-arrival there, we arranged
for a load of cocoanuts, coaled the
ship, had the boilers repaired and
started to load the cocoanuts when
we received a telegram, signed by
Mr. Garvey, ordering the ship to sail
immediately for Boston, cargo or 20
cargo. However, we got seven hun
dred tons of cocoanuts on board and
sailed. We could not get enough
provisions in Jamaica to take the
ship to Boston as it was just after

still had its ‘war restrictions in ef-

board, assigned to New York, and
they were perishable, However, we

Philadelphia. "After. carrying thru

days, we were ordered to New York
where we discharged the cocoanuts,
partly rotten. Finally, the owners
of the cocoanuts filed suit against the
Black Star Line for damages. At the
end of this trip, Captain Cockburn
was discharged by Mr. Garvey and a
white man (Captain Diseon) was sent
to take command of the ship. 0. M

Weather men define a tornado as o
violent windstorm, with rain or lic.l,
thunder and lightning, in which tac
air masses whirl with great velocity
around a central core, while the whol
storm travels across the country in &
narrow path at high speed. The dius

derived from the Spanish “tronada,” a
thunderstorm, or from the Latin “tor

"low" on the weather map—gives con
ditions essential to tornadoes. Many
cyclones never develop a tornado, but
a tornado never develops without the
cyclone, and almost invariably the tor-
nedoes occur in the southeast quarter
of the low area, About 120 cyclones
pass across the United States each
year, moving in a general way from
west to east. ‘They are of great bene
fit because they induce a movement
of surface air from the south and
southeast, and the rainfall that makes
the great interior valleys a rich agri-
cultural region is dependent upon
these southerly, moisture-bearing
winds,
Practically all of the cyclones of the
warm season give rise at some time or
place to thunderstorms or hail or vio
lent winds. These winds may be vio-
Tent enough to cause destruction, but
unless they have the whirling column
of air they are not tornadoes. In the
East it is uot always easy to distin-
guish the funnel-shaped cloud, but the
Jay of the debris after a storm will tell
‘whether there has been a twisting mo-
tion.
‘Tornadoes almost invariably move
in an easterly direction and generally
from southwest to northeast. The
average length of the path of destruc
tion is about 25 miles, and this path
may not be continuous, if the funnel
cloud is not in contact with the earth
during its whole course. Sometimes
it rises and goes for a considerable
distance before descending again.

“IUMAN NATURE'S
FOULEST BLOT.”
‘My car is pained
My soul is sick with every
sday’s report
Of wrong and outrage, with
which the earth is’ filled.
There is no flesh in man's ob-
durate heart.
It does not feel for man: the
natural bond %
Of brotherhood is severed ad
the flax
That falls asunder at the touch
of fire.
He finds his fellow guilty of a
skin
Not colored like his own: and
having power
To enforce the wrong, for such
a worthy cause
Dooms and devotes him as his
lawful prey.
Re Se ee oe ee
Thus man devotes his brother,
and destroys:
‘Tis human nature's broadest
foulest blot.
—Cowper.
