SCENE DURING THE CAR STRIKE IN NEWARK Western Newspaper Union HOW THE HOME-COMING COL-ORED BOYS WERE RECEIVED AT LARGE FROM THE WORLD'S WAR AT DAYTON, OHIO, MAR. 14, 1919. No cannon roared, no bells did ring, To note the wistful tread; But music from the band did play To say they were not dead! The whistles they forgot to toot Of what was a-going on; With cheerful hearts and swollen chests. The Knights of Tabor celebrated the birthday of Father Moses Dixon, founder of the organization, last Sunday afternoon. Rev. Coleman and Col. Butler were the principal speakers of the afternoon. The Christian Endeavor had an unusually attractive program last Sunday. There was splendid singing by Mrs. Gateon Hughes, Scott and Miss Davis. Next Sunday's program will consist of a violin solo by Mr. Harry Taylor and papers by Mr. Bernard Peters and Mr. Smith. All of the members of the Christian Endeavor are urged to come at the proper hour be done. We are laboring hard to have one hundred in the Sabbath school Each Sunday adds to the list. Stranger, come with us. Remember "we seek not yours but you." Don' forget the place—Edgmont, Pontia Street. Pastor, Rev. F. L. Tate. YOUNG MATRONS' CULTURE CLUB The ladies of the Young Matron' Culture Club held their second social even in the form of a dinner party Wednesday evening, April 2, at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Scale. Our neighbors' flags forgot to float Glad tidings of the fray; That's nothing—some forget to eat, And some—forget to pray. Then on to France they went and fought, For freedom and for right, Side by side with brothers who Now hate to see their sight. It was fierce to make attack; But they went to choose no quarters, "Or no thought of turning back. And I fancy that I see them, Hasting on in rampant tread, Through the space of one day's grave- yard, O'er the top o'er thousands dead. Sad to witness such sight-seeing, Or to pause to drop a tear, "Onward, boys!" command is given, As the enemy's drawing near. Those brave boys, they did not falter, Brave as walks beneath the sky; There's no doubt, "They have been tested, Should the world speak aught against us, Ought they blush to call us friend? Yet, there's still a few that's left us, Faithful subjects from the start, True, as that proud banner o'er them. Man to man they did their part. And there's some who yet by sleeping Covered with the mother so, Their reward waits them in glory, With their Maker, with their God. Forty thousand was one number, Left for France to parts unknown, Sturdy on their way to battle, Fight or die and not to run. And the flag to them presented, Neer to let her trail the dust, They remembered and were heroes, Brought her back in honored trust. Then should all our work be fruitless Is there none who would commend? Is there one who has ambition Strong enough to say "Amen"? Written by James L. Turner, Dayton, Ohio. EUCLID AVE. NOTES The trustees succeeded in raising $745 last Sunday. They are very grateful to all of the members and friends who gave so liberally, and wish to thank the women especially for the splendid assistance they rendered. THE DAYTON FORUM The Knights of Tabor celebrated the birthday of Father Moses Dixon, founder of the organization, last Sunday afternoon. Rev. Coleman and Col. Butler were the principal speakers of the afternoon. The Christian Endeavor had an unusually attractive program last Sunday. There was splendid singing by Mrs. Gateon Hughes, Scott and Miss Davis. Next Sunday's program will consist of a violin solo by Mr. Harry Taylor and papers by Mr. Bernard Peters and Mr. Smith. All of the members of the Christian Endeavor are urged to come at the proper hour in order that the readings and the program may be completed. Rev. C. D. White delivered a very interesting sermon at the evening services. Rev. White was formerly pastor of one of the local churches. The Young People's Auxiliary gave a Japanese tea party at the residence of Mrs. B. M. Peters, last Wednesday evening. The decorations and the Japanese costumes of the young ladies were very picturesque. All present spent an enjoyable evening. Next Sunday, our presiding elder will be with us. All members and friends are asked to be present and pay their assessments. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The financial campaign is still on, and contributions have been given this week which swell the fund nicely. The campaign proper closes April 15. Every woman that joined during the membership campaign is asked to give five dollars ($5.00) towards the building fund, between April 15 and July 1. Every loyal well-wisher of the Y. W. C. A. is asked to respond. Miss Ruth Moore, of Washington, D. C., is the new secretary in charge of the girls' work, and she is very anxious for the girls to attend the classes, which meet every afternoon. Parents are urged to send their girls to the Y. W. C. A., where they can spend a pleasant, wholesome hour. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The Religious Committee of the Y. W. C. A. will hold vesper services from 5:00 to 6:00 Sunday afternoon. Rev. T. J. Smith will speak upon the subject, "The World's Modern Ideal Woman." Everybody cordially invited. MT. OLIVE NOTES The third Sunday is the time set for baptizing. At present we have nine for baptism. Some of our unconverted friends did not get to our revival services. We are going to have five night meetings beginning April 14, and to help make this meeting as interesting as possible we have secured the service of Mrs. Nettie Johnson, that sweet and spiritual singer of Cincinnati, to sing for us. We are very glad that God has so inspired her heart to take up this work to help the great Baptist cause on. There will be preaching each evening and a good time religiously for all who attend these services. We invite the entire population of Dayton. We are not preaching a black or white gospel, but a "whosoever will," for we believe that out of one blood God made all nations, and through the death of the one Christ the way was made possible for all men to be saved. Sunday afternoon, at three o'clock, is our men's meeting. The men of Edgemont are getting together. When men get to gather, you may expect something to DAYTON, OHIO, FRIDAY APRIL 11, 1919 be done. We are laboring hard to have one hundred in the Sabbath school. Each Sunday adds to the list. Stranger, come with us. Remember "we seek not yours but you" Don't forget the place—Edgement, Pontiac Street, Pastor, Rev. F, L, Tate.

Williams, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Guinea, Mr. and Mrs. Garfield Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Chester Harrison, Mr. and Mrs. Jas. Douglas Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Scales, and Master Robert Scales. After the dinner a delightful evening was enjoyed with music and games. The ladies of the Young Matron's Culture Club rendered a program the last Friday afternoon in March at the residence of Mrs. Chas. Guinea. There was a paper by each member, discussing the Negro in the world war, and a charming solo by Mrs. Jas. Douglas. The program proved such a success that it was unanimously decided to set aside the last Friday of each month as program day.—Mrs. H. H. Elders of Colored Church of Christ Say Rev. J. B. Parsons Will Leave. The Rev. J. B. Parsons, 47 Sprague Street, pastor of the Colored Church of Christ, Norwood Avenue and Sprague Street, will tender his resignation to the members of the congregation at the services next Sunday morning, according to Hayes Oldham, elder of the church. Plans of member of the congregation to hold an indignation meeting Wednesday night were called off, according to Mr. Oldham, when the Rev. Parsons notified him and Albert Roberts, also an elder of the church, that he would tender his resignation at the Sunday morning services if the meeting was not held. W. N. Taul, deacon and secretary of the board of trustees of the church, said the resignation would be referred to members of the congregation for action, but that there was no doubt in his mind but what it would be accepted.—Dayton Herald.

"IN SCHOOL AND OUT" E. T. Banks It is a sad condition which confronts race-people of Dayton, Ohio, when they see so many boys and girls of school age in the city apparently making no effort toward getting an education. The "age of privilege" seems to be strafed to the limit, and boys and girls from fifteen years old upward are apparently jollingify because there is no law to make them go to school. But the condition is dangerous. Dayton race-people have depended too long upon the educated of other cities and upon the achievements and fame of Dunbar, Burns, Wheeler, Coleman, and other past masters and mistresses of bygone days. It is a disgrace to boast of fifteen thousand colored people as citizens of any one city, and then have, at the end of any given school year, but five colored graduates. The rate of graduation for the white people of Dayton, not considering the parochial and private schools, is $ 2 7 \frac{1}{2} $ graduates for every thousand population. The rate of graduation for race people is two graduates for every two thousand five hundred population, and this rate decreasing as the colored population grows. It is not intended to discuss the necessity and advantages of education in this article, but to call attention to a growing tendency on the part of the race to neglect the essentials, and at the same time to expect the best. Children from eight years old upward are to be found roaming over fields, along the river, about the streets, and in private houses in alarming numbers, and no apparent effort is being made to keep or to get them into schools. This condition must ultimately bear fruit, the taste of which will be bitter indeed to those who love the race. AN APPEAL TO THE COLORED PEOPLE HERE AND EVERYWHERE And to Every Man Who Thinks He Has the Bad End of the Game of Life. Elsewhere in this issue of the FORUM, a well-known man has, inadvertently, answered the great question that confronts colored people, and all others who count themselves as being in a similar situation. The law now before the Ohio legislature, and which so interests the Negro, find here its answer. The great race question of the United States, and of every other nation, finds here its answer. The problem of labor and capital, of autocracy and slavery, in fact the master problem of humanity, is solved in this one, simple, innocent little article. Cut it out and keep it and remember that its author is one whom you all respect and admire and love—the fighting secretary, E. T. Banks. The secret of happiness for the Negro lies in education, in training, in being an efficient human. Nothing was ever gained by any one by demanding rights without first being worthy of them. Once a man makes himself worthy of the best, he will not have to demand it—it will be handed to him, forced upon him. This is the great lesson of the ages, and so few have learned it. Education, training, and more education—this, and this alone, will make men able to arise from the condition of slavery in which most of us, white and black, live today. We are slaves to the money-masters, because we don't make ourselves sufficiently efficient to become more than mere beasts of burden, to become masters ourselves. Every man has a brain, no matter what the shape or color of his body, and his personal worth is measured by the value of his brain—what he knows, what he can reason and think. Some one has said that, to produce a perfect man, you must begin with his great-grandfather. And likewise, the triumphal elevation of the colored race, and also the freedom of all peoples from the bondage of ignorance, cannot come in our generation, or even in the next. But if we are to fulfill our human destiny, we must begin today to perfect the future races of mankind. The history of men lies in our hands—to make them masters, as we would like to be, or slaves, as we are. The education of our children is our first and gravest responsibility. Read again Mr. Banks' article; look for yourself and see that he is right; and then, no matter what the sacrifice to yourself, see that your children are educated—trained—efficient! A Complete and Comprehensive Narrative of Racial Courage, Capacity and Rare Quality as a 100 Per (By R. W. Thompson, Correspondent) Washington, D. C., March 31.—It is expected that the comprehensive story of the part played by the Negro in the world war, announced some time ago by Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, now serving in the War Department as special assistant to the Secretary of War, will be issued about the first of June. It will be brought before the people by a publishing house, the officers of which recognize the tremendous interest of the colored people in this subject, and the aim of the projectors will be to place a copy in every school and home in America. The history will not only be a complete story of the valorous deeds of the colored fighting units on the battlefields of France and a thoroughgoing recital of the essential work done by the not less courageous men behind the lines "over there," but it will offer an enduring record of the valued labors of the soldier lads in the camps and cantonments here at home, and tell of the sacrifices and services of the patriotic men and women who gave the best that was in them to help this nation to win the war for freedom and democracy. As has been announced before, associated with Dr. Scott in this big undertaking will be a number of agencies which assure a comprehensive and authoritative history of the important part the colored people of the United States have played in the great struggle. Among these co-operating agencies are Frank Parker Stockbridge, publicity director of the American Library Association, New York; Dr. Robert E. Pank, professorial lecturer in sociology, University of Chicago; Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of research, the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, Inc.; William Anthony Avery, publication secretary, Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute; Monroe N. Work, director Division of Records and Research; Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute; Ralph W. Tyler, accredited representative of the Committee on Public Information at the war front in France; Mrs. Alice Dunbar-Nelson, who has helped to mobilize the colored women of the country for war work under the auspices of the Women's Committee, Council of National Defense; and Miss Eva D Bowles, executive secretary in charge of Colored Work, Young Women's Christian Association. A staff of assistants of experienced and technical training is now at work gathering and compiling a vast amount of material under the auspices of these co-operating agencies. Dr. Scott's history will probably contain between 500 and 600 pages, with something like 100 or more illustrations. He desires to secure the photograph of each and every colored officer who served overseas, as well as the photograph and biographical sketch of such non-commissioned officers and privates who were decorated with the Croix de Guerre, Distinguished Service Cross or other recognition of that character. It is suggested also that ministers, soldiers, parents of soldiers, or any other persons having data bearing upon the war—scenes, incidents, or experiences that may be of historical value, as well as conspicuous examples of war work of organizations and individuals throughout the country, send such matter at once to Emmett J. Scott at Rooms 144-146, State, War, and Navy Building, Washington, D. C., for incorporation in this very complete and comprehensive narrative of the Negro's courage and rare quality as a 100 per cent. American. SIXTY DOLLAR BONUS U. S. Government Gives $60 in Cash to Soldiers, Officers, Female Nurses, Etc., Who Have Resigned or Who Have Been Honorably Discharged Since April 6, 1917. Special to The FORUM Washington, D.

Phone Us! Main 7696. Price 5 Cents plan to extend financial help to all soldiers, etc., who have been honorably separated from military or naval service, Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, who, during the war period, has been advising in matters affecting the interests of colored soldiers, has requested the Negro Press of America, Negro clergymen, teachers and others, to give the widest possible publicity to the fact that the United States Government, by Act of Congress approved February 24, 1919, grants to all soldiers, officers, female nurses, etc., who have either resigned or who have been honorably discharged since April 6, 1917, or who may resign or be honorably discharged before the expiration of their enlistment period, a $60 bonus in cash. The way and manner in which the cash bonus of sixty dollars may be obtained by honorably discharged soldiers, officers, sailors, female nurses, etc., is fully set forth in War Department Order, issued by the Adjutant General of the Army, February 25, 1919, and sent to all Department and Camp Commanders, General Hospitals, etc. This amount shall not be paid to any person who, though appointed or inducted into the military or naval forces on or prior to November 11, 1918, had not reported for duty at his station on or prior to such date; or to any person who is entitled to receive retired pay, etc. All persons separated from active military service from April 6, 1917, who are entitled to the sixty-dollar bonus, and who have received their final pay, will forward claim for such bonus direct to the Zone Finance Office, Lemon Building, Washington, D.C., who is hereby designated to settle such claims. Such applications must contain the discharge certificate or order for discharge or relief, if no certificate was issued, the paper bearing indorsement of final payment being required. A statement of all military service since April 6, 1917, showing place and date of reporting at first military station and stating the address to which check is to be sent. (It is suggested that these papers and data be sent to said Zone Finance Officer by registered mail to insure their safe delivery. When settlement is made, all personal papers will be returned to applicant with check. No further correspondence is necessary except to advise of change in address of applicant. No other disbursing officers are authorized to pay claims covered by this paragraph. Agencies that work among colored people, including teachers, college men and others, are specially requested to communicate the above information to colored soldiers and their families, in order that they may take the necessary steps to secure the $60 bonus which the Government has set aside for the benefit of those brave and loyal men who came to the rescue of their country in its crucial hour of need.

The second week of our meeting showed increased interest both on the part of the members and unsaved persons, who have begun to turn out regularly and soon deeply impressed with the powerful messages that Rev. Million has been nightly bringing to us. We are beginning to realize and be governed by the fact that soul-saving is largely a matter of personal work on the part of Christians, and that it is our duty to reach every unsaved person possible and bring them to accept the ever-ready offer of salvation. We are glad to be able to announce several conversions and renewals of membership. Those who have not been attending these meetings are missing a great spiritual revival. Now is your opportunity to render effective service for the Master. You will have to be at services early at Zion Sundal if you wish to get a seat. We will expect you at all services beginning with the Sunday school at 9:20 a.m. The big meeting of the day will be at 3:00 p.m. Sunday, when Rev. Million will deliver a special sermon to all. The general public is invited. Subject: "The Jubilee Year of the Gospel. You can't afford to miss it. Come! ORDER GIVES ALL DISCHARGED MEN FULL EQUIPMENT Soldiers Who Have Turned Over Uniforms May Get Them Back. According to information received yesterday by Captain Albert D. Penney, adjutant at McCook field, uniforms and equipment furnished all men of the United States army may be retained in the possession of the men. The following article may be permanently retained by men upon discharge and the clothing may be worn by them hereafter: One oversean cap (for all men who have had service overseas) or, one hat and hat cord (for all other men); one olive drah shirt, one woolen service coat and ornaments, one pair of woolen breeches, one pair of shoes, one pair of canvas or spiral leggins (canvas, if available), one waist belt, one slicker, two suits of underwear, four pairs of stockings, one pair of gloves, one gas mask and helmet (for all officers and other men to whom they were issued overseas), one set of toilet articles if in possession of the soldier at the time of discharge, one barracks bag, and three scarlet chevrons to be sewed on uniform prior to discharge, when practicable. Any man who has returned any or all of his equipment to the government, may have same restored to him by sending his application to the Domestic Distribution Branch Office of the Director of Storage, Washington, D.C. The application must be accompanied by an affidavit made before any civil or military officer authorized to administer oaths, setting forth the soldier's record of service since April 6, 1917, date and place of his discharge or furlough to the reserve, and certify that none of the articles he is applying for were retained by him at any time. No discharged man, however, will be permitted to wear the uniform unless the scarlet chevron, denoting discharge, is worn on the left sleeve. Offenders render themselves liable to a fine of not less than $800 and imprisonment of not more than six months. THE FIELDS OF BATTLES Dr. Du Bois says in the April Crisis: I have seen the wounds of France—the entrails of Rheims and the guts of Verdun, with their bare bones thrown naked to the insulting skies; villages in dust and ashes—villages that lay so low that they left no mark beneath the snow-swept landscape; walls that stood in wrecked and awful silence; rivers flowed and skies gleaned, but the trees, the land, the people were scarred and broken. Ditches darted hither and thither and wire twisted, barbed and poled, cloistered in curious, illogical places. Graves there were—everywhere and a certain breathless horror, broken by plodding soldiers and fugitive peasants. We were at Chauteau-Thirry in a room where the shrapnel had broken across the dining table and torn a mirror and wrecked a wall; then we hastened to Rheims that riven city where scarce a house escaped its scar and the House of Houses stood, with its laced stone and empty, piteous beauty, high and broad, about the scattered death. Then on we flew past silence and silent, broken walls to the black ridge that writhes northward like a vast grave—broken and bent with fiezy surprise—here the earth is ploughed angrily, there rise lumps and blankets of wattles to hide the ways, and yonder in a hollow the Germans had built for years—concrete bungalows with electric lights, a bathroom for a Prince, and trenches and tunnels. Wide ways with German names ran in straight avenues through the trees and everywhere giant engines of death had sown the earth and cut the trees with iron. Down again we went by riven villages to the hungry towns behind the lines and up again to Verdun—the ancient fortress, with its ancient hills, where fort on fort had thundered four dream-dead years and on the plains between villages had sunk into the silent earth. The walls and moat hung gravely black and still, the city rose in clustered, drunken ruin here and in yellow ashes there, and in the narrow streets I say my colored boys working for France. On, on out of the destruction and the tears, down by bewildered Commerce and old Toul, where a great truck hurrying food to the starving nearly put our auto into a ditch, and up to Pont-a Mousson where Joan of Arc on her great hill overlooks the hills of Mighty Metz; then to Nancy and by the dark and winding Moselle to the snow-covered Vosges. Between them roll wood and freed battleground of that last dark day. In yonder forest day on day the Negro troops were held in leash. Then slowly then advanced, swinging a vast circle—down a valley and up again with the singing of shells. I stood by their trenches, wattled and boarded, and saw where they rushed "over the top" to the crest, and looked on the field before Metz. Innocent it looked, but the barbed wire, thick and tough, belted it like heavy bushes and huddled in hollows lay the machine-guns, nested in concrete walls, three feet thick, squatting low on the underbrush and scattering sputtering death up that silent hillside. Such wire! Such walls! How long the great, cradling sweep of land down the valley and over the German treaches to the village beyond, beside the silent, dark Moselle! On by the river we went to the snow-covered Vesges, where beneath the shoulder of a mountain the Ninety-Second Division held a sector, with quiet death running down at intervals. The trenches circled the hills, and dug-outs nestled beneath by the battered villages. We flew back by the hungry zone in the back-wash of war—by Epinal and Domremy —Bourbonne-les-bains and Chaumont and so—home to Paris. MARCOS OPEN SEASON WITH THE RED SOX The Dayton Marcos will open the park Sunday afternoon with the Red Sox as their opponents. These two teams are old rivals and a warm argument for the opening game is anticipated. Manager Matthews, of the Marcos, announced Wednesday that his team has been strengthened by the addition of several players from the Indianapolis A. B. C. team. He has booked several road games for his club this season and expects a good record. "Stringbean" Williams, former piteher for the Indianapolis club, has been named as captain of the team. Williams will likely do most of the hurling for the team. The Red Sox claim to have one of the best teams in the city. Manager Thompson has three good hurlers in Sloane, Vaubel and Goehner and has two catchers, Williams and Hubbard. Sunday's contest will start at 3 o'clock.

Coblenz.—Half a cake of soap, used as a bribe, opened the road to liberty for an American soldier who recently rejoined his regiment after being imprisoned in Germany. William Litch, a private in the Twenty-sixth Infantry, was captured October 4 during the fighting in the Argonne and taken to a prison camp near Baden. From another American who had received a prisoner's package Litch procured a piece of soap not much larger than his thumb. A few nights before the signing of the armistice Litch gave the soap to a German prison camp guard and stepped out of the stockade a free man. He began traveling by night and hiding by day, but before he reached the front he was overtaken by other released American prisoners, who told him of the armistice. LONDON GREETS GRENADIERS Only 12 Survived Great War and Take Part in Homecoming Welcome. London—The Second battalion of the Grenadier guards received an enthusiastic welcome on its return to London from Germany. Although no ceremonies had been arranged and the hour of arrival was uncertain, immense crowds assembled at St. Pancras station. The only indication that something unusual was happening was the presence of massed bands which played: "See, the Conquering Hero Comes," as the men left their train. Gen. Fielding, commandant of the London district, welcomed the battalion in behalf of the king, and then the guards began a triumphal march across London to Chelsea barracks. Of the original unit that left England in 1914, only twelve men survived to take part in this great homecoming. COAL MINE DEATH TOLL 2,575 In Giving Figures Secretary Lane Praises Work of Men During War. Washington.—Casualties in American coal mines in 1918, reported to Secretary Lane by the bureau of mines, included 2,575 men killed. "This is the penalty paid by one peaceful industry during a year of war," said Secretary Lane. "It emphasizes the fact that the miner braved perils as did the soldiers at the front. "In winning the war the brilliant achievement of the American coal miner will always stand forth." There was a decrease of 283 deaths from explosions of gas and coal dust. Mr. Lane said, and the total of fatalities was proportionately less than in previous years. YANKS. PROVED NOT GUILTY One Crime Attributed to Americans in Paris Committed by Frenchmen. Paris.—At least one of the crimes attributed by Paris newspapers to renegade Americans in the city has turned out to be neither of American planning nor execution. The case was that of the theft of an automobile attributed by the Intransigent to two Americans who were said to be making a specialty of this kind of crime. The men who stole the automobile have been arrested. There were three of them and one proved to be a deserter from the French army and the other French civilisers escaping. MACHINES TO DO WORK IN CENSUS Wonderful Devices to Tabulate and Record Figures on Population and Industry. Government Already Has Begun the Job of Assembling its Plane and Forces—One Machine Handles 150,000 Cards in Eight Hours. Washington.—With hostilities at an end, the government is now laying the basis for one of the greatest of its peace-time tasks—the decennial inventory of the United States, its people, lands, industry and live stock that is called the census. Secretary of Commerce Redfield the other day signed the order that transferred one of the largest of the temporary war buildings put up in Washington, that formerly housing the army's department of aeronautics, to Director of the Census Rogers and his staff. Actually, the government began the job some time ago, assembling its plans and forces. By law, the beginning of the census period of 1920 is July 1, 1919, though it will not be until a year from April that the enumerators will be set at work. There will be twenty-nine questions in the 1920 census, according to the present design of Director Rogers' dummy cards, which now are being given the exhaustive study of statisticians. The more complex questionnaires that go to industrial establishments, schools, farms and every other permanent institution of the country are likewise in the development stage, undergoing critical examination in the light of experience the government has gained in conducting thirteen inventories of the kind. Will Be Machine Operation. Chiefly the bureau is engaged in preparing for the classification and tabulation of the vast quantity of material which will be assembled. The 1920 census tabulation will be for the first time almost completely a machine operation, conducted by means of devices useful only to the census bureau of the United States which have been invented and are now being built by men in its employ. Electric machines will first transfer the written information coming in on the enumerators' sheets to cards, not by writing, but by punching holes at proper points. Then the punched cards will be handed in their millions to another battery of machines, the tabulators, an amazing product of human ingenuity. E. M. Bolteaux, who devised them, has been with the census bureau for eighteen years and is now superintending the construction of twenty-five machines, the operation of which he will direct. These tabulators, working with smooth and silent perfection, take in 400 cards a minute, count them, reject all that are imperfect or improperly punched in any fashion and take off the totals of punch marks, assembling the final result in printed figures on handy sheets. One of them the other day in eight hours handled 150,000 cards. Look Like Office Furniture. The machines resemble in outward aspect a piece of office furniture. Cards go into a metallic magazine at their top, travel a few inches on metal guides, come out neatly stacked with the mistakes of the punching machines—which have merely human operators—pointed out. The printed records of the eighteen or twenty totals that the punch marks indicate come out from another slot, and the instrument stands ready to repeat. With these machines, there is a practical assurance that the publications of the census, usually coming out a long time after the enumeration, may be more quickly at hand to guide and demonstrate the progress of national civilization. They are being produced largely by the work of youthful apprentices from Washington schools which have vocational courses. ASK LADY YEAR OF BIRTH New York Judge Makes Ruling Expected to Save Witnesses From Embarrassment. New York—Women chuckled over a ruling of Supreme Court Justice Joseph Morschauser of Dutchess county during a will trial, still going on, that a woman need not answer when asked to state her age. Relatives are attacking the will of Mary Jane Harrison, who left about $50,000, on the ground of undue influence, and that the testatrix was not competent to make a will. Mrs. Anna Sloan Lowers was called to testify about purchasing property from the aged testatrix. Attorney R. H. Barnett, for the contestants, asked her to state her age. J. R. Thompson, for the will, objected. "Objection sustained," broke in the court. "It is not polite to ask a lady her age. You may ask her the year in which she was born. That gives you the desired information without embarrassing the witness." Wanted to Reconsider St. Louis.—A jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, was dismissed and adjourned to a nearby cafe. The defendant's attorney went along. An hour later the jury was back in court wanting to give a new decision. 2 PANTS SUITS GREATLY REDUCED PRICES ON Spring Samples and Uncalled for Made-to-Order SUITS Some as Low as $14.85 Others up to $25 EXTRA PAN WITH E I PERSONA That Every Suit Order tively be finished for evening.

MARGARET'S NEWS Sunday last, the fifth Sunday in Lent, brought to the consideration of the church the concentration of official and semi-official opposition against Jesus Christ as prophet and teacher of a new era and a new doctrine to his time and people. This new era and new doctrine were totally against the interests of those men who had influence over the majority of the multitude, therefore those men, though they were of different groups and each group jealous of the other, those men agreed to forget their differences and jealousies and co-operate together against this, to them, common menace, Jesus Christ, destroy him, get him out of the way, prevent his doctrine from spreading among the people, while they themselves continue to deceive and oppress the people in the name of religion. They were determined to secure their sway over the unfortunate multitude, and met in conference to discuss the best and most practical way it could be done. The other thought was that Jesus knew of this. By what may be called a premonition he felt the impending danger of the opposition. He saw, as well, the ease with which the people long brought up under an outworn tradition, will be frightened back to believe the old doctrine, reared and fabricated upon a baseless superstition. He saw the entire nation roused in its wrath against him, and it is not too much to say that his spirit quaked within him. But he held fast to the truth he taught, and which he knew must triumph even though he was destroyed. It is here that the church calls to the mind of the faithful the contemplation of the 43d Psalm, "Judge me, O God, and plead my cause against an unmerciful people: O deliver me from the deceitful and unjust man. For thou art the God of my strength: why dost thou cast me off? Why go I mourning because of the oppression of the enemy? O send out thy light and thy truth: let them lead me: let them bring me unto thy holy hill, and to thy tabernacles." Hold fast to truth, though an entire nation, blind by self-interest, oppose you. Cast yourself upon God's strength when your own seems too weak to stem the tide. Cry out for more light and more truth from the storehouse of God, and thus equipped march on to conquer even in death.

It is to thinking minds far superior to any temporary religious enthusiasm gained under pressure of fright, caelojery, abuse, or cheap hypnotic spell. The world needs reason in its faith as well as faith in its reason. Religion must possess the sum total of all wisdom. Study today the Life and Office and Work of Jesus Christ.
