( ) HUNGRY NEGROES IN SOUTH. Montgomery, Ala.—Famine is stalking through the central part of Alabama, where the cotton and corn crops were failures on account of floods and the boll weevils this year. Whites and blacks alike are in misery. White lanlords are mortgaging their plantations to get enough money to exist while the Negroes are catching rabbits, gathering nuts and resorting to other unusual means to obtain food. The poor in many cases are without bedclothes and shiver all night over little fires of sticks. There are whole settlements in which every member needs assistance. With the great prosperity in most parts of the country it is hoped that prompt relief will be forthcoming to the stricken region. Tombs Reveal Painted Black Figures Ancient tombs recently opened at Prevesa, (Greece) show colored figurines of men and animals, and many vases with human figures painted black.

The baby was bro't from New Orleans by the couple. Thomas H. Agney, superintendent of the Louisiana Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said the couple came to him six months ago and wanted a baby. He was unable to supply one, but learned later they secured one elsewhere. Saturday he received a letter that the baby, when first taken, was white, but had turned dark and now has kinky hair, The Denver Star ESTABLISHED 1888 NAMED AFTER DUNBAR Dayton, O.,—A letter received last week by Mrs. Matilda Dunbar, mother of the late Paul Lawrence Dunbar, Colored poet, who died a number of years ago, tells her of honors which have been paid her son by the Commissioners of the District of Columbia in naming the new high school for Colored children for the poet.

Allen, who lives at 2313 Highland avenue had just been discharged on a charge of speeding. "Whose car were you driving?" asked Judge Kiernan. "I was driving my own," an swered Allen. "That so?" said the judge in surprise. "And what sort of work do you do for a living?" "I'm a Pullman porter on the Santa Fe." "And you are able to purchase and maintain a big limousine?" "Yes, sir," answered Allen. "I run down in the oil territory in Oklahoma and the rich men down there are liberal with their cash." "I wouldn't mind having your job myself," declared the judge. I'm going to discharge you, mainly because I like to see a Negro who spends his money in a better way than shooting craps.'—K. C. Journal I know its so that since the judge rendered this decision "crap-shooting in Kansas City. Missouri has been on the wane," we are told. We only trust that more Negroes not only in Kansas City, but all over the country in general would invest in something rather than in "throwin' de bones" Better be shattered and be shattered as a piece of jade than be preserved whole as a common tile."—Liang Chich'iao. Another and a most effective way of expressing "Death" before Dishonor.

The colored undertakers of North Carolida are promoting a movement to erect a $40,000 casket sactory and embalming school in that state, probrbly at Durham, where colored men and women will be given lucrative employment. This is a worthy understaking, for it is said that nearly one million dollars is expended yearly by Negro undertakers to white firms for funeral supplies. Mr. A. L. Garrett is the promoter of the movement. Remember the Date—January 30th! Remember the place—Zion Church! Remember the Occasion! Free musical and banquet!

Negro Dairy Man Wins Honors Were it not for the colored newspapers we would seldom know the honor that many of our colored folk are receiving in the various industries in this state and in this country. At the recent milk test held in Des Moines for the state of Iowa Julian O. Winston, a Negro dairyman residing near Ottumwa received the highest from his milk. The manner of testing milk comes about in this way. The state dairymen officials collect two bottles from the dairyman without acknowledging the fact or telling them, and they deliver these bottles of milk to Des Moines, where they hold their annual test. And this year Julian Winstons milk won the first prize. Mr. Winston moved to Ottumwa Iowa, from Charlottsville, Vaten years ago and bought a farm of 180 acres. Two years ago he entered the dairy business, known as the Willow Springs dairy. At first he had twenty five head of cows. When he first started the people of Ottumwa tried to down him because of his color, but his milk being superior, it won its way, and today he cannot supply his demands, although he is constantly increasing his diary farm. There is one STRICKEN AT HIS POST W. E. DuBOIS SICK. New York, Jan. 10.—The crowded evening session of the sixth annual meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People held in the chapel of St. Phillips's church, Dr. Hutchins C. Bishop, rector, came to an abrupt and excited close on Tuesday evening when Dr. Joel E. Springarn, chairman of its board of directors, announced in a voice choking with emotion that he could not make his address as the message had just come to him that a second and vital operation must at once be performed on Dr. W. E. B. Dubois, at St. Luke's hospital. Dr. Springarn then, in a cursory review of Dr. Dubois's life, contracted this with that of Dr. Booker T. Washington's prayers. A stifled murmur swept over the audience, including hundreds of prominent best white and colored citizens. The meeting and session was adjourned suddenly. Archibald H. Grimke, of the Washington branch, presided and introduced the speakers.—N' ews. Dr. Dubois in Hospital Reported Improving Dr. W. E. B. DuBois, editor and publisher of the "Crisis" and who was sent to Saint Luke's Hospital about three weeks ago, was reported on Monday to be improving. The operation which Dr. DuBois is said to have had performed was not for appendicitis, but something more serious, still his condition when he was taken to the hospital was not thought to be alarming.

To the Editor of the Richmond Planet: In your editorial of December you stated that the white people were appealing to the Negro leaders to assist them in stopping the Negro exodus from the Southland to the North. It seems to me the white people are appealing to the wrong source. They should appeal to those who have created and are creating such an intolerable condition that makes it impossible for the Negro to live in peace among them. I have talked with many Negroes who have recently come from the Southland with the specific purpose of ascertaining the cause of them leaving the land of their birth to cast their lot in a strange land. They know not, and every one's answer has been the same, viz; that they are lynched, Jim-crowed, disfran chised and segregated, given bad police protection and rough justice. It is surprising to know how well informed these Negroes are who have recently come up from the South. As I was telling them what a distin guished Negro leader had said in a speech in praise of the South, and before I could finish, they said his wife was put off the train. I told them what other Negro leaders had said, and each time they would come back. I even told them what one Negro, a member of the American Bankers' Association, whose indomitable will and a courage never submit or yield to any wrong and who had distinguished himself as the race's wisest and safest counsellor, had advocated, and their answer was when I attempted to proceed further, one said: "Man, don't tell me anything about the South. You aint got a Chinaman's chance down there. Now it is reasonable to be the Negro leaders will never stop this Negro exodus North by holding up to the Negroes that the South is the best place for them, and after the war his services will not be needed in the North; when the Negro is lynched, Jim crowed, disfranchised, and given bad police protection rough justice, and then seek to soothe his troubled soul by by telling him the bad Negro is the cause of all, when at the same time the most polite and refined ladies among our race are ejected from Pullman cars and not given chairs in parlor cars, and the most in dustrious and intelligent Negroes by whose rigid economy have purchased homes, believing vested rights were forever secure, and now vested rights are being weighed in the balance.

Leroy Locke in 1916, recently tendered a reception to John E. Bruce "Grit," president, and Senor Arturo Alfonso Schomburg, secretary of the Negro Society For Historical Research of New York, both of whom are honorary members of the Stylus, in Miner hall of Howard university. The reception was attended by noted educators and professional men and women. The purpose of the Stylus is to encourage original literary expression among the students of the college of liberal arts of Howard university, with an especial view to the stimulation and development of productive authorship in the race and for the furtherance of this purpose the bringing together of persons able and willing to co-operate for this end. The guests of honor and the following named gentlemen were present: Dean Kelly Miller of Howard university, Dean William Pickens of Morgan college, Baltimore; Professor W. A. Jolner of Wilberforce university, Dr. Edward L. Parkes, treasurer of Howard university; Professor Herman Moens of the Netherlands, Professor John W. Cromwell, secretary of the American Negro academy; John R. Clifford, editor of the Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, W. Va.; J. R. Murray of Alexandria, Va.; Robert A. Pelham of the United States census bureau, Rev. Dr. Bragg of Baltimore, R. W. Logan of Williams college, E. L. Davidson of Harvard university, Dr. and Mrs. W. V. Tunnel of Howard university, Dr. E. Albert Cooke, Mrs. Emma Brown and F. Holland. When the last of the invited guests had arrived and the introductions were over the company formed in line and, led by Professor Montgomery Gregory, marched from the spacious reception room to the chapel of Miner hall, where all were seated, when Professor Gregory stated that the reception was given by the Stylus in honor of visiting members of the American Negro academy and to honor two of its honorary members, Messrs. John E. Bruce "Grit" and Senior A. A. Schomburg, also members of the American Negro academy, to whom the Stylus feels greatly indebted for many courtesies. Its members are proud to have on its honorary roll of membership such useful and valuable men as Messrs Bruce and Schomburg. Professor Gregory then called on Mr. Schomburg to make a few informal remarks, which he did. Mr. Bruce followed. Both expressed themselves as being keenly appreciative of the honor paid them by the Stylus and of the work to which the club is devoting itself and pledged themselves to so-operate with it in any way they could. Rapid fire addresses were given by Professor William Pickens, Rev. Mr. Bragg, J. B. Clifford, F. H. M. Murray, Professor J. W. Cromwell, Professor Herman Moens, Professor W. A. Jolner, Professor G. W. Cook, Dean Kelly Miller and members of the Stylus club. DR. E. P. ROBERTS' NEW POST Appointed to New York Education Board by Mayer Mitchel. The National Urban league has succeeded in getting Dr. E. P. Roberts a pointed by Mayor Mitchel as a member of the board of education of city of New York. This is the first time in the history of the Greater that a colored man has received distinction, although three in the have been thus honored by the Brooklyn prior to 1808. The league has appointed Miss cia Ferguson of Chicago, a ate of the University of Michi- one of the league's "broken teno- ship," which will give Miss Ferguson an opportunity to do practical work with the league in preparation for social work as a life's career. Miss Ferguson comes well recommended as to scholarship and general standing at the university. She was a member of the women's varsity basketball, track and baseball teams. She studied music for four years at the Ann Arbor Conservatory of Music. The league will hold a national conference on negro migration Friday, Jan. 26, at the Russell Sage foundation building, East Twenty-second street and Lexington avenue. Representatives of national and local welfare organizations and large employers of negro labor in the north are expected to be present. The purpose is to settle definitely on a national policy and on methods to be used in aiding Negroes to adjust themselves to city life in their new environment. Persons interested should correspond with E. K. Jones, executive secretary, 2308 Seventh avenue, New York city. The efforts of the league in co-operation with the Burge foundation and the committee on prevention of heart disease to provide clinical facilities for Negroes afflicted with heart disease have been rewarded by the announcement that the Bellevue board of trustees has decided to open within a month a cardiac class at the Harlem hospital. The league has employed a boys' club worker who will give his whole time to conducting boys' clubs in Harlem welfare centers. Clubs are to be located at the Music School settlement and probably at the Alpha Physical club and one or two of the churches. The boys will be trained in athletics, club management, including principles of self government and rules of order, and will in the summer be taken to the league's boys' camp. HINKLE MAKING GOOD SILENTLY. In the Assessor's office when it came to lay off temporary 22 persons, naturally one would think little attention would be paid to efficiency, but more attention would be paid to favorites who had "the pull." Not so in that office, the Chief Clerk, Silvers, retained only "the heads of departments" among whom was Mr. Henri Hinkle, who has revolutionized the method of handling schedules for time and condensed many other methods, eliminating so much handling. Mr. Pitcher has publicly recognized his ability and accuracy by loaning him to the Treasurer's department, to find clerical errors in the finances. Mr. Pitcher laid aside race and color and made the test efficiency and ability, and Henri Hinkle won out over 22, and is now spoken of as one of the heads of a department. The Birth of a Nation discovered a new "soul" in Mr. Clair J. Pitcher and his fine treatment and square deal only makes him bigger and better true American. GOALS FOR 1917-1918. WHAT ARE YOU DOING? What the best and wisest citizen and well wishers of Colorado and Denver desire for themselves and for those with whom they labor, that must the officials, both city and state desire for all of its citizens and for all of those who happened to be intrusted to their care for pleasure, comfort and convenience. In this connection The Star calls attention to the fact that in August, The American Woodmen, the strongest fraternal life insurance company operated by us in Woodcraft, will have its supreme sessions here. This will bring about 500 Southern and Eastern delegates to Denver as Denver's guests. Denver will owe much to these people, who will come to our city trusting that we, in our own town, will see to it that they are not robbed, mistreated, neither by white nor black, yet permitted to see Colorado's beauties and scenic points in all parts of our State. Our, coal and gold mines, steel works and everything in farming and Dearfield should be shown them with the idea of interesting them. Excursions should be run for them to see Royal Gorge, Moffat Snow Peaks, Georgetown Loop, Pike's Peak and Cripple Loop. This is our chance! What are we doing about it? In 1918, in June, the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs will meet with us, bringing 500 delegates besides the hundreds which the low rates will attract. It is this grand affair of the women which every minister of this state, every business, professional, tradesman, mechanical worker and in fact any, kind of producer or worker should have on exhibition something to show those Eastern, Northern and Southern delegates that the Negro West is not asleep. The greatest responsibility is placed upon the women, our women, because they vote and have more advantages than others, hence somebody ought to get busy and send notices and arouse our farmers whom Colorado has honored. Let it be said truly that Denver is a convention city. Interest the Chamber of Commerce of our large cities, also their merchants whose ware and goods will be bought. Let the goals for 1917 and 1918 be victory for Colorado to the end that her unoccupied and unclaimed land will ultimately be taken up by our farmer guests. Up to Date.

FIFTEEN years ago farming was discussed among leading Negroes in Colorado as a new avenue for employment and self-help. May 5, 1910, a Settlement was started upon Government land in Weld County, where 20,000 acres in one body was open for homesteading. One settler filed on 320 acres as a desert claim, and one filed on 160 acres as a homestead claim. These men talked with their friends and got others in- Building Dearfield Land Office terested in the plan, and now there are sixty families occupying 15,000 acres of the 20,000 acres. The other 5,000 acres has since been taken up by a good class of white settlers. Within a radius of twenty miles around Dearfield Settlement there are as many more colored families and farmers. There are now in Eastern Colorado five hundred colored families on farms and two thousand Negro farmers and farm hands. O. T. Jackson, founder of Colorado Town, Dearfield, Colo. The Dearfield Settlement has a Townsite platted on state land consisting of 480 acres. There are eight blocks of town lots for business and residence, and unplatted blocks of 5 and 10 acres (less streets) surrounding the Town adapted to dairying, poultry raising, and truck farming. In the Town there is a city well, a cement factory, a blacksmith shop, telephone, and a church building. The Town is now building up and all kinds of business is wanted to supply the farmers, as they are prosperous and are spending from $20,000 to $25,000 per annum in the towns around Making Cement Blocks which are from 10 to 20 miles away, besides their mail orders and shipments from Denver and other places. The products of the farms are increasing and there is now a marketable crop in this community of $250,000 per year produced by the Negro and white settlers in and around Dearfield. There is also a great demand for mechanics and farm laborers. The opportunities offered in Dearfield for location and investment are unsurpassed in the United States for Negroes of business ability and small capital. There is an opening in Dearfield for every branch of business that is conducted in any established community. Now is the time for the young man to start in and grow up with the prosperity of Dearfield. The farmers have had five years the start of the town, and anyone establishing a business in Dearfield has the prosperous farmers, colored and white, as a guarantee of support to his business. No class of people is more welcome in Colorado than the good farmer or business man or woman. Colorado needs 150,000 farmers and farm hands, business men and women, to grow and handle the products we are now importing from other states for our own use. Colorado has an area of 66,000,000 acres of land with a population of only 800,000, and only one-eighth of the land occupied, and two-thirds of her population in the cities and towns, thus leaving open the greatest opportunity for good farmers and for the building of thousands of new communities by white and colored settlers. The white settlers are here and are yet coming by the thousands. The Negro will have to hurry if he expects to partake of the golden opportunities of Colorado, which no other state in the Union offers. At the rate the lands and resources of Colorado are being gobbled up by foreigners and southerners the last call will soon be heard. Shall we as a race put off until at last too late? Dearfield Town Settlement has laid a great foundation for the building of the wealthiest Negro community in the world because of its productive soil, its climatic conditions, its close proximity to water, fuel, railroads, and the best market in the world which always has a demand for your product. Now is the time for the young Negro to become interested in the Town of Dearfield and be counted in its history as one of Dearfield's progressive pioneers in business. To those many lots or tracts within the next six months (beginning February 1, 1917) for business purposes we will give every inducement possible, for WE NEED YOUR BUSINESS NOW to furnish the farm Inspecting Cement Blocks by Prospective Builders with supplies and to handle their marketable crops.

Industrial Institute at Topeka, Kan., Shows Thrift. Institution Which Was Begun as Mere Kindergarten Now Ranks With Foremost Schools In the State—Dr. W. R. Carter's Work Recognized by Governor and Leading Educators. Topeka, Kan.—The Industrial and Educational institute in this city is one of the foremost institutions in the west for the moral, intellectual and industrial advancement of colored youth. While it is a state school, it had its inception in the thrift and industry of its president, Dr. William R. Carter. He has worked his way to the front upon his merits and is considered one of the best qualified educators among our people. He knows by actual experience the needs of the youth of the PETER H. DR. WILLIAM R. CARTER. race, especially those who are struggling against great odds to get an education. Dr. Carter is a native of Brunswick, Ga. He is forty-three years of age and has had an interesting career in many good movements. Being a native of the south, he knows and has felt the sting of race prejudice. He received his early training in the public schools of his native town. From the public schools of Brunswick he entered the Tuskegee institute in 1890. He received much encouragement and was also inspired by Dr. Washington to go forward and make the most of his opportunities to fit himself for his life's work. After three years of hard work at Tuskegee institute young Carter received his diploma from the hands of Dr. Washington with this solemn declaration: "I shall ever honor this piece of paper." He returned to Brunswick, and, recognizing that he owed something to his home town, the place that had made it possible for him to get his foundation, he accepted a position in the public school as one of the teachers. He at once gained the love of pupils and their parents. He gave three of his best years' work to Brunswick and resigned to accept a position in Orange Bend, Fla., where he had charge of all the public school work in the county. He conducted all the normals and had under him many teachers. His worth as an educator was recognized by the state, and often he was called into conference with the state superintendent of education. He gave up teaching for a short time and entered Gammon Theological seminary, where he prepared for the ministry. It was at Gammon that his ability as a public speaker and minister manifested itself, and he was classed among the able ministers of the Baptist denomination. He, however, again resumed school work. He taught for a year at the East Tennessee Normal and Industrial institute Harriman, Tenn. He began teaching in Kansas at the instance of Dr. Booker T. Washington. The school to which he went was a mere kindergarten, carried on by a couple from Boston. The need of a larger work was soon felt, and this little school was reorganised into an industrial institute and is now an ideal center of education. At the first session of the state legislature after Dr. Carter took charge of the school $1,500 was appropriated for its support. This amount has been gradually increased to $21,000 per annum. The indebtedness of $3,000 has been paid, and the plant is now worth $175,000. The school has a faculty of ten teachers, and students from ten states are in attendance. Although Dr. Carter is a very busy man, he is intensely interested in all movements for the advancement of his people. He stands high in Masonic Pythian and Odd Fellow circles. For the past twelve years he has been the only colored member of the board of directors of the Kansas Children's Home society and for several years secretary and treasurer of the Ministerial Union. Topeka, composed of all the white and colored ministers of the city. He has several times been honored by the governor with positions of trust. YOUNG FOLKS TAUGHT TO APPRECIATE VALUE OF ART Hamptonians Learn That It Has a Practical Bearing on Making Life. Better and Sweeten. "As practical as any of the trade courses, yet in no way lacking in the development, of artistic ability, is the art course at Hampton institute," says a writer in the Southern Workman. "This was demonstrated in an exhibit of work done by the boys' classes in drawing recently on view in the picture room of the library. Boys as well as girls are being trained to use their taste and artistic ability in the every day matters with which some people think art has nothing to do. "Here was a drawing showing a clothes yard—not ordinarily a thing of beauty—screened by flowering shrubs, the white posts covered with luxuriant English ivy. Another drawing showed an effective scheme of planting evergreens about a light stucco house. An unsightly wall was made interesting by the skillful placing of shrubs, while a house of ugly architecture was painted an unobtrusive color, its outlines being hidden by trees and shrubs. "One learned from the exhibit that in the clean country where there are plenty of trees one may have a white house with green blinds, but in a smoky town the house must be painted brown or some other subdued color. Also houses must harmonize with each other. If one's neighbors have brown and green houses, an olive gray is a good color for one's own. Fruit trees combine three advantages-beauty in blossom time, shade in summer and fruit in season. Pecan and walnut trees also serve the double purpose of shade and fruit. An ice wagon, green with white lettering, was a cool and refreshing sight. "A collection of designs made by the day school girls in their art course was also displayed. The main object of this course is to develop art appreciation and consequent good taste in dress and interior decorations. The exhibit included designs for rugs and color schemes for interiors, table and bureau covers, rugs, curtains and cushions harmonizing with the walls. All the designs showed a good sense of proportion and excellent taste in the combination of colors." Leigh R. Miner is the director of applied art and Fenno H. Heath is the instructor in drawing. BUSY SOCIAL WORKER. Miss Uxenia B. Scott Will Promote Welfare of Houstens People Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of social science at Fisk university and executive secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People, has received word that Miss Uxenia B. Scott, one of the public schoolteachers of Houston, Tex., has just been appointed by the Houston social service bureau as district secretary of the Neighborhood House For Colored People. This appointment scores another success for the social service training center conducted by the co-operation of the Bethlehem House of the Woman's Missionary council, M. E. Church South, Fisk university and the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. She received part of her training at Nashville on one of the scholarships offered by the National Urban league. Miss Scott finished the Houston high school and entered Fisk university in 1909. She pursued the four year course in education, receiving a degree of B. A. in education in 1913. During her college course she took special electives in social science and social service. During one of her summer vacations in Nashville she was volunteer supervisor of the first playground conducted in that city for colored children. The following year Miss Scott was awarded one of the scholarships in social service offered at Nashville by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. Upon graduation at Fisk, she went to Houston to teach in the public schools, but kept up her interest in social work and developed quite an interest in playground work among the colored children of that city, supervising a free playground almost every summer and promoting such work during the school year. Her interest grew with this volunteer work so that last summer she attended the summer school of the Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy, giving special attention to playground and recreation work in order to better fit herself for the service she was giving to her home city. Her appointment as the first colored worker under the municipal social service bureau of Houston, Tex., comes as a result of her training and her promise for the future. Dr. Haynes has commended her zeal for such work, and when the announcement of her appointment came said that he regarded her selection as a bright promise of social betterment among colored people in the progressive southwestern metropolis, because Miss Scott showed from the time of her undergraduate days up to the present a fine spirit for community service. Dr. C. V. Roman Speaks at Louisville The Louisville (Ky.) branch of the National Association For the Advance- ment of Colored People introduced its program of action for the new year at a great mass meeting held on Mon- day evening, Jan. 1. Dr. C. V. Roman of Nashville, Tenn., delivered the prin- cipal address. Dr. Roman's subject was, "Let Us Go Forward—A Plea For a Larger Vision." He handled his subject in a logical and scholarly manner. RACE PROGRESS IN MIDDLE WEST Interstate Literary Observes Twenty-fifth Anniversary. MUCH GOOD ACCOMPLISHED Successful Career of Dr. Grant Q. Brown as Promoter of Intellectual Advancement Among Our People. Honored by Appointment as Deputy Health Officer For County of Sedgwick. Wichita, Kan.—The middle west is contributing its share of the men and women of worth who are helping in the many good movements for advancement. Perhaps in no part of the country are they doing more in a literary way than in this section of the country. The Interstate Literary association of Kansas and the west generally, whose twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated during the recent holidays, stands out prominently as a distinct sign of real progress. Dr. Grant G. Brown of this town, who retired from the presidency at the session held in Topeka, had the pleasure of presiding over the quarter century session of the association. He is one of the most noted professional men in Kansas and is in the front rank of all efforts for racial development. He was born in Linneus, Mo., where he started his education in the public schools of that place. It was while in public school that his parents moved to Atchison, Kan., where he continued ```markdown ``` GRANT G. BROWN, M. D. his studies and made a fine record in both the grammar and high schools, graduating with honors. After his graduation from the high school he entered the State university, where as a student he made good by the side of some of the most brilliant students of both races. He made many friends during his college days. Having decided on his course in life, he entered the medical school at Howard university, Washington, being eager to get the best training possible. He graduated in 1890 in a class of thirty-five. He was among the fortunate in his class, because he was selected as an interne for Freedman's hospital. This is an honor which comes only to a few and is a coveted honor, because it better prepares a man for practical service. In this capacity he served for one year and then returned to his home in Atchison and took the state board examination, which he passed successfully. His worth and ability were soon recognized, and he was selected as the health officer for Atchison county. It was in 1908 that he decided to locate in what is destined to be the greatest city in Kansas, Wichita. He came with a reputation which he had already made in his profession, and it was not long before he had won the confidence of the people of the entire community. Dr. Brown is now a deputy health officer for Sedgwick county, in which the city of Wichita is located. In his work he is often called into consultation by the leaders of both races, who regard his opinion as being of great value. He is ever ready to give his time and attention to matters for racial advancement. In society, in public meetings and that which means the training of the mind, helping the young people to think, he is always counted as one of the best workers for their good. He is one of the organizers of the Interstate Literary association, the largest organization of its kind in this part of the United States. The term of office is only for one year; hence it was only in keeping with the rules of the organization that Dr. Brown was allowed to retire, and even then many expressed a desire to have the rule changed. During the past year and under his administration much good has been accomplished through Dr. Brown's efforts. He was presented a handsome token of esteem by the association at the closing of the twenty-fifth annual session of the association, which meets in Kansas City in December, 1917. Rumor has it in this section of the country that Dr. Brown will soon lead a Washington belle to the marriage altar. She Is Talking About Coming Events.

Properous Brooklyn Corporation Installs Officers For Engaging Year. stale Officers For Ensuing Year. Brooklyn.-The Society of the Sons of Virginia, a large and influential membership organization, chartered under the membership corporation laws of New York, closed its fiscal year clear of debt. The reports of the financial secretary, Peter H. Fisher, Sr., and Treasurer Graham H. Carter showed an increase in both membership and in finance. The amount in benefits paid to members who were ill during the year 1916 increased more than 50 per cent. The same was true of the donations made to various charitable objects. The annual meeting for the installation of officers was held on Thursday evening, Jan. 4, at which a large number of members from the Ladies' auxiliary and other invited guests were present. The society is now making an effort to increase its membership to P. N. BARNETT DODSON. 200. The reports showed that seventeen new members were added to the roll in 1916 and that about thirty more would complete the number desired before steps are taken to increase the benefits to members. The newly elected officers were installed by the Rev. William M. Moss, pastor of the Concord Baptist Church of Christ. They are the following named persons: N. Barnett Dodson, president, elected for the third consecutive year; Eleazer T. Jackson, vice president; Alfred R. Nash, recording secretary; Peter H. Fisher, Sr., financial secretary; Graham H. Carter, treasurer; George Keeling, corresponding secretary; James S. Watkins, sergeant-at-arms, and Giles L. Boyster, chaplain. The new members of the board of directors are Jeremiah Keeling, Charles J. B. Kemp and James F. Flippin. The caterer for the occasion was Isaiah B. Walker, a member of the society. Dr. Clarence H. Richardson is the examining physician. CAPABLE YOUNG LEADER. Henry Allen Boyd, Chairman of Y. M. C. A., Nashville, Tenn. The selection of Henry Allen Boyd as chairman of the committee of management of the Young Men's Christian association, Nashville, Tenn., was a wise one. Mr. Boyd is a young business man of fine qualifications and rich experience, says N. Barnett Dodson. He is an organizer and financier who knows how to manage. Moreover, he has the confidence of the 'public, and in any matter relating to the improvement of conditions among our people he will receive the hearty cooperation of members of both races in Nashville. Mr. Boyd's work as a promoter of the Sunday School Congress is well known throughout the country. His success as a business man is equally well known. The Young Men's Christian association workers have but to give the chairman their co-operation and success will reward their efforts. The opportunities afforded members of the association for self help are many, and each should seek to advance himself in his particular line in preparing for future usefulness. When the building recently purchased by the association is put in order for practical use the membership of the branch will increase rapidly. Nashville has hundreds of boys and young men who are anxious to better their condition, and the establishment of the association at this time comes as a great promise to them. Sunday School Lesson Commentary. The national Baptist publishing board has presented a complete Sunday school lesson commentary, containing the international lesson series, for the study of ministers, superintendents, teachers and Bible students in the Sunday school. The book is prepared under the direction of Rev. R. H. Boyd, D. D., LL. D., secretary of the national Baptist publishing board, and is edited by Rev. W. S. Ellington, A. B., D. D., the editorial secretary. The book is printed and bound at the National Baptist Publishing House, Nashville, Tenn. The expositions of the lessons for 1917 are treated in a scholarly manner. Hill Heade League's Chicago Branch T. Arnold Hill is making good as manager of the Chicago branch of the National League on Urban Conditions. He has had quite a large experience in social work, having been trained at the headquarters of the league in New York. Chicago is a big field, and Mr Hill will no doubt find many perplexing problems with which to deal.
