Evans, the subject of this sketch is the chaplain of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs. This young woman has recently entered the Y.W. C.A work as the special National Student Secretary. Miss Evans was born in Washington, D.C. and left an orphan at an early age. Largely through her own efforts, assisted by the Indiana Federated Clubs and the Indiana Conference, she was graduated from the Chicago High School and Payne Theological Seminary. It is as an evangelist that Miss Evans is best best known. In this line of work she has been a marked success in nearly every section of the the country. In 1913 she was a delegate to the World's Sunday School Convention in Zurich, Switzerland She toured Northern Africa and Asia spending most of her time in the Holy Land. It was her privilege to be bapsized in the river Jordan near the place where Christ was baptised. Miss Evans in her lecture vividly portrays her experiences and the life of the people there. Miss Evans' most recent accomplishment was in the city of Indianapolis, where as past of Wayman Chapel, now known as St. John, she in a few months brought about such a spiritual awakening that a whole thickly settled Negro community was stirred The congregation under her powerful leadership was so awakened from a long lethargy that at the close of her short pastorate they moved into a beautiful modern edifice with a fully furnished parson age adjoining. These, all recognize as a monument to Miss Evans' splendid executive ability and deep spiritual power. The Y.W.C.A. is to be congratulated upon its acquisition of such a character and the National Federation of Clubs in the selection of such an officer. 14 of Man's Sons in Army 4 More to Enter Later Rev. R. H. Winsor, is a 1, 400 per cent patriot, who lives down in Rayville, La. His existence was revealed by a bond salesman, who had tour ed the South in a Liberty Loan campaign. The minister has 14 sons in the army and four more will be ready to go within the next two years. And not one of the boys were drafted. All enlisted in the regular infantry. The family numbers 19, of which eighteen are boys. Peace talk is useless now; we want Victory talk.

COLORADO. SATURDAY. MAY 25. 1918 Number 40 NEGRO GETS PRIZE FOR RIVETING RECORD Onward To Denver The first international prize for rivetnig was transmitted May 21 by Chairman Hurley of the shipping board to Chas. Knight, at the request of Lord Northcliffe, owner of London newspapers, who offered 25 pounds, or about $115.00, for the best score above previous records. Knight is one of the thousands of Negroes in the employ of the B et h le he m Ship buil din g corporation, Sparrows Point, Md. National Federation of Women's Club Headed This Way Mr. Hurley wrote Knight as follows: "Your world record of driving 4,876 rivets on May 16, has set for American shipbuilders the fast pace that is so necessary for carry ing on the war successfully. It is the American way to excel when the occasion demands and you and your associates in upholding so splendidly this tradition inspire emulation the shipbuilding industry." With scarcely sixteen days before that enthusiastic State meeting of the various clubs of Colorado, and jurisdiction whose session will convene at Allen Chapel A.M.E. Church, Cheyenne, Wyo., June 11 to 13, the greatest National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs in America will assemble in Denver in less than thirty days from that date. At the state session the final and complete arrangements will be permanently made, in detail for the entertainment of this body. Some of our biggest and best women, renowned for their art, literary, business acuteness, and general worthiness will be present, and give their very best to the interests of the Race. Five days will be consumed in discussing the question which most vitally effects us, the lynching question, the induction of colored nurses in the American army, Jim Crow discrimination, etc., because of the desired interest taken by these women, the majority of the women of our state are working like beavers to bring the biggest success to Colorado, honoring Denver in particular. Already the different parts of the state have agreed to furnish the Colorado Industrial Building of exhibits with certain things produced and made in Colorado and the West by the Negroes. Sugar cane and cotton will be exhibited as grown near Aguilar Colo. by Mrs. Dixie Gregg, an aeroplane made by the Harris-Caldwell Areonautical Co. will fly while the liquid oil from the Cosmopolitan Oil and Gas Co. will come spouting out as will be demonstrated by the Industrial Building of exhibit. This record has since been passed by a white riveter who drove over 5,000 rivets. Wounded Negro Soldiers Continue Fight and Save Their Comrades General Pershing communique of May 20, gave eloquent testimony to the spirit of democracy which should know no race nor color. It told of the heroism of two of Our Boy both wounded, who held off a raiding party of twenty Germans and saved comrades from surprise and captnre, Any person having anything made of general interest which will bring honor or credit to Colorado and which is made in Colorado by the Negroes who desires to exhibit the same in this building kindly correspond with the State President, who will be glad to exhibit the brain, thrift and industry of our Westerners. This will be a great chance for the West to get squarely before the East and let them know that sooner or later the East must come to the West for ideas of progress, ingenuity and real success. Let everybody man, woman and child get under the burden for 40 days and leap "over the top", it means business to Mr. Business Man, trade for our rooming and boarding houses and ready cash for our churches and souvenir sellers who have planned to make or have made souvenirs of this convention. There is a great profit for somebody. Can not the Denver people get busy and get the money which these people will doubtless bring to take back all kinds of souvenirs? Get busy, men and women and get the money. Let everybody start now and get into the Star's big Souvenir Edition. Let our photographers be on hand to take pictures of the many notables attending the convention. "Reports in hand," says the statement, "show a notable in stance of bravery and devotion shown by two Negroes of an American colored regiment operating in a French sector. Before daylight on May 15, Private Henry Johnson and Private Roberts, while on sentry duty some distance from one another, were attacked by the German raiding party, estimated at twenty men, who advanced in two groups, attacking at once from flank and rear. "Both men fought bravely in hand-to-hand encounters, one resorning to the use of a bolo knife after his rifle jammed and further fighting with bayonet and butt became impossible. There is evidence that at least one and possibly a second German was severely cut. A third known to have been shot. Because of the fact the battle of democracy is as much on this side of the water as on the other side and because of the constant vigilance needed to keep our rank and status in equality with all other races and kind and because the women know and fully understand that they are their sisters' keepers, they will modestly yet seriously and deeply delve into the war problems affecting our women's welfare. Just as the English, American, Italian and French are fighting side by side "over there" not their battles alone but our battles just so, must white and black women on this side stand together to conserve the purity and honor of their sex, for the reconstruction of which the women will be responsible after the war. With military camps everywhere and everyman "somewhere in America," turned aloose, it was necessary for our best women to warn our girlhood and womanhood living near the training camps of the dangers and an attempt should be made to throw around them every moral protection. The The going of a million men to Southern camps will lay the Negro women liable to all forms of encroachment. It must be remembered that a woman of color in court in defense of her honor, is looked upon with amused contempt. The world has so far refused to place the correct estimate upon the chastity of Negro women. This great federation realizes that women must make the plea and protect women. They know that without good girls we cannot have good women; without good wives, we cannot have good mothers—the hope of a strong race, both moral and physical. "The two colored sentries continued fighting after receiving wounds and despite the use of grenades by superi or force, prevented by their bravery the capture of any of our men."—The Times. and greater horrors for the future. It is the duty of every man, woman and child to hast en the day when America's whole might will be in France. We cannot win the war on good intentions. Hell is paved with good intent'ons.

Patton, Most Worshipful Grand Master of Free and Accepted Masons for Colorado and Jurisdiction. Greetings: By your kind effort and generous assistance on behalf of a worthy cause by helping a poor unfortunate old man to purchase a pair of artificial legs, the original price of which was two hundred dollars; by the kindness of the Gaines-Erb Company, manufacturers of artificial limbs,the price was reduced to one hundred and fifty dollars. Thro the kind effort of Rev. R. L. Pope and others who paid $75 by my labor with your assistance I am pleased to render to you an itemized report of all receipts and disbursements, thanking you on behalf of Alonzo Parham and myself for your generous assistance, May the love of God always be with you. We most cordially and sincerely thank the generous public and the several lodges in the jurisdiction that so nobly responded to our appeal to help a worthy cause. And to the lodges that did not respond we do not question as to why they did not, as it was an appeal by Grand Master T.A. Patton for a free will offering. Suffice it to say we are thankful in as much as we have accomplished our much needed effort, and now we rejoice to know that my friend walks. It is a great consolation to me to know that people are not afraid to trust me with a few dollars to help a worthy cause. And again to you, Most Worshipful Grand Master, without any solicitation you came to my rescue away out in the wide and deep sea of trouble with neither compass nor rudder and acted the part of a friendly ship and brought me safely to shore, and for pour pay, kind sir, if I cannot ever do you a kind favor, rest assured I will never do you any harm and this is all I have. It goes without my dying guarantee. Continued on page 8 but not boastful. We cannot talk Kaiser from his throne; we cannot stop his millions with words.

The Negro is taking his share of the honors that come to those, with the heart and courage of a man. We mention a few. that have come into public notice lately. When the steamer City of Athens, from New York to Jacksonville, was sunk by a French cruiser which rammed her in the fog, dozens of cab in passengers were trapped in their births. Among these was Mrs. F. P. Harrison, wife of a New York real estate operator, and her 2 yr old babe. With the baby in her arms she managed to crawl to the open deck. The boats left uninjured had been manned and were gone. While the woman was standing there the ship listed sharply and she was thrown into the water. Jas. Wallace, a Savannah Negro, who was on a hastily constructed raft, pulled the woman and her babe from the water. Finding the raft would not hold all three, he slipped into the ice waters and guided the raft away from the sinking ship to where a lifeboat lay. Sam Martin, a steved or re working at the New Orleans docks, discovered a cask of powder, destined for Europe had been tampered with and a portion of the wrapping was burning. Calling to the others who were working with him to get out of the way and et him carry his dangerous bnrden to a port hole. Just as he pushed it thru the port it exploded and Martin was killed. The Longshoreman's Union, New Orleans, of which he was a member, voted his wife a pension sufficient to support her ond her baby until the latter reaches the age of twenty one. "Stars and Stripes," the soldier paper published in Far is, recount the story of a Negro who was employed as a deck hand on an American transport. While on the way to a French port the steering gear of the transport became disabled. Waves were running high. Volunteers were asked for to be lowered over the stern of the vessel and attach chains with which to rig a "jury-rudder." This Negro, whose name however seems to strangely lost, was the only volunteer. For two hours he swung between the sea and the overhanging stern, washed by waves and halt smothered by spry. He succeeded in at taching the chain and the ship proceeded on its way, reaching port safely. planes and all the other great machinery of war. It is a question of shoot or be shot. Sidney Johnson, a Negro accused of murder of a Brooks county farmer, was shot to detah May 23, in a fight with the police at Valdosta, Ga., May 23. James Cobb, was lynched at Cordete, Ga., the same day. 2 Simple Contrivance Proved Effective When Machine Mired and Serious Trouble Seemed Certain. Every one, at some time or other, has doubtless come upon the unfortunate spectacle of a big autotruck stuck in a rut—perhaps holding up traffic. The next time you encounter such a catastrophe recall the experience described by Edwin L. Purkess in Popular Mechanics Magazine, and you will be able to offer valuable suggestions at a moment when such suggestions count for their full value. Mr. Purkess writes: "A heavy auto truck became mired in a deep rut on a country road, and the driver, without assistance and with only the auto jack available, was forced to devise some means of again getting his machine under way. The method employed was so simple and effective that it may be of interest to most motorists. Two saplings were set across slabs of wood, laid on either side of the truck wheel. Then the tailboard chain was rigged between the saplings just inside of the wheel. A tourniquet of rope was made with a small stick, and fastened to the free ends of the saplings. The jack was set under the rim of the wheel, and as the latter was lifted the tourniquet and the tailboard chains were drawn up to bring the saplings close against the wheel. By this means the wheel was gradually lifted out of the rut, and extra slabs placed under it so that the truck was then easily driven to solid ground. Slabs were also piled under the axle as a precaution, in case the wheel should slip back into the rut." GOOD-BY TO THE CRUTCHES Artificial Limbs So Cleverly Devised That Legless Men Have No Difficulty in Walking. There need be no legless soldiers to hobble pitifully along the streets after this war. An American army surgeon has devised a new type of artificial leg which can be manufactured by Uncle Sam for about $25 and which will almost perfectly reproduce the action of a natural leg, even if the soldier has only a stump left. It means good-by to crutches, declares the New York Evening Post. This remarkable triumph of American inventive genius was described at the New York Academy of Medicine by Maj. P. B. Magnuson, medical reserve corps, a member of the surgeon general's staff. The artificial leg described by the surgeon is the invention of Maj. David Silver, another medical reserve officer, formerly a practicing physician in Pittsburgh. "This artificial leg is of a type far ahead of anything that has been developed abroad as a result of the war." Major Magnuson said. "It is a better substitute for a natural leg than the government has ever been able to obtain heretofore for $100 each, and it can be made for a quarter of that price. In this one thing alone Doctor Silver has earned his salary as major." The invention has been successfully used by a man with both legs amputated. Crutches are unnecessary. The foot has a jointed instep and a rubber base which reproduces the natural movements with astonishing success. Major Magnuson asserted that it would be hard to guess that a man was wearing the support after he was practiced in its use. Artificial hands and wrists were also described. Little Fat Makes Them Swell. A strange new disease has broken out in Germany, according to articles in German medical weeklies, summarized in the Journal of the American Medical Association. The physicians call it war edema. It manifests itself by a swelling of the lower extremities, less often of the upper, the face, and the serous cavities. Unless permanent relief is obtained it may last for months. Apparently all the German writers attribute it to the poor diet that now prevails; excess of carbohydrates and deficiency of fats, together with large quantities of water, as the food is taken mostly in the form of soup. The cure is rest in bed and the addition of at least 100 grams of fat to the daily ration. Bayonet Work Brings in Body Armor. Civil war veterans who tell stories of bayonet thrusts stopped by prayerbooks in their pockets will be interested in the discovery of a protection for our soldiers to wear in France which will turn a bayonet's point, says the Boston Post. The shields were invented by Everett Dunbar of Lynn, a patriotic citizen, who has turned his invention over to the war department without making an attempt to patent it. Incidentally this opens a new field for volunteer woman workers, who can sew the cloth parts for the thin steel plates which are flexible and fit the body. Chloroferming to Some Old Sayings. The Arctic explorer Stefansson—who ought to know—has knocked the foundation out of several old sayings which had come to be regarded as solid facts. Among other things he says authoritatively that frost bites cannot be remedied by rubbing snow on them; that there is no harm in eating snow when you are thirsty; that Eskimo houses are well ventilated and are not generally ill-smelling.

In a recent speech Sir Eric Geddes said: "During one month the number of war vessels which needed repairs was nearly 1,000—that is, in addition to the 1,100 merchant ships—and that was by no means an abnormal month. Since the beginning of the war 31,000 war vessels, including patrol craft and mine sweepers, have been docked or placed on the ways, and these figures do not include repair work done to the vessels of our allies." Add to this the arming of the vast fleet of British merchant vessels, and we have some conception of the enormous task of shipbuilding, equipping and repairing carried on by the British admiralty. Tractors for Cultivation of Rice. The French government of Cochin China has become interested in the employment of caterpillar tractors the cultivation of rice. On September 29, 1917, a 45 horse power track chine valued at more than $5,900 U dated States currency, was purchased graphically. If the experiments are cessful, larger orders will follow. Everything depends upon whether the tractor can operate in the soft rice-paddy fields of Cochin China. The prosperity of Greater Tokyo city is shown by the increased tax over last year, the average being 6 per cent. In the eight tax-collection districts the total exceeds 99,000,000 yen ($49,500,000); the rates of the increase vary from 9% per cent in the Yotsuya district to 50 per cent in the Ryogoku and 72 per cent in the Yufei districts, where the offices and residences of the narikin are located.

WHEREAS, This community is most deeply afflicted because of the great loss sainted in the untimely death of its distinguished and much beloved Mayor, the Hon. R. W. Speer and WHEREAS, At this time the entire citizenship without thought of nationality, race, politics or creed is coming forward to show some token of respect to the memory of its late departed and most distinguished citizen, and WHEREAS, Mayor Speer during his career as a public official in this city did many acts, both private and official that contributed to the happiness, progress and well-being of our people, the Colored Citizens Non-partisan League, on behalf of the Negro population, voice the esteem and respect in which Mayor Speer was held by his Negro friends. Those who have known' him best, knew him as an honorable and straight-forward official; none too humble, none too poor to get a heardstress when tneir appeal was made in the hour of their misfortune and to him in a frank and truthful statement of their wishes and complaints. To the Negro people, he was more than an upright public official, oftentimes becoming indulgent that he might unmistakably show his friendly interest in the advancement of the Negro people. Not only was he the greatest Mayor in the United States, but to him belongs the honor of doing more by his public acts to promote happiness and usefulness among the Negroes than any Mayor anywhere in America. The Negro people received from him a greater number of appointments in proportion to their population than from any Mayor before him here or in any municipality in this country. THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be handed to the public press and that a copy be forwarded to his beloved widow and that a copy be preserved in the Archives of the Colored Citizens Non-partisan League of Denver, Colorado.

The Five Points Colored Spear Club recently adopted the following: "The members of this club sorrowfully join the citizens of Denver, the state, and the nation in deeply regretting the loss of this great public benefactor. A knowledge of the value of worthy friends gave this courageous man a solid foundation on which he built for himself national honor and fame. He was never known to mistrust a true friend nor to show ingratitude to a friend and, because of this, he numbered his friends by thousands among all classes and all races.

MASON, "JOSEPHINE CASSELL, "EFFIE WALDRON, "NANCY SLOAN, "H. HINKLE." Yours very truly. J. A. REEDE. CARD OF THANKS CARD OF THANKS A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS officiated for both couples. A very excellent representation of some of the best colored families of Denver attended the classes in the Gauze Rooms of the Museum building, corner of Fourteenth and Sherman. Members of different churches are enlisted. The volunteer spirit is fine. The work is of the best, but the members are not what we would like to see. At first the colored class numbered about eighteen faithful workers notwithstanding many demands and interruptions. But from now on the needs for wounded American boys will be much greater "over there," and let every loyal colored American woman come for one afternoon Friday of the week, or send some friend or substitute to take her place. The class assembles at 1 o'clock on Fridays at the Museum unit for instruction and work. The uniform of white apron and cap can be procured there at present. As we know and regret to say, some of the colored population of America have been tempted and tampered with by Prussian propaganda; but let Denver be freed from such criticism through a loyal and regular interest by the women, as well as the men, to promote the activities and plans of the country, among which there is none more appealing than the work at the Red Cross gauze rooms. Among those who still come and who do excellent work are the following: Mrs. Cora E. Robinson, 1421 Glipin; Mrs. Goldie Hughes, 522 30th street; Mrs. Nellie Irby, 415 29th street; Mrs. Nellie Lander, 1845 Marion street; Mrs. E. C. Shipp, 315 Vine street; Mrs. Gullion, formerly of Memphis, Tenn., and Mrs. Pollard of Denver. We could mention other names of the class who seem not to have been able to attend of late, but would rather wait till their vacant chairs are filled and the familiar faces bright and smiling, as the busy fingers fold to help make the interminable dressings for the dear soldiers going to the western front. Notice is given that the gauze rooms are closed from the 1st of May for about ten days, but the newspapers will announce the exact day when they open up again. Watch for the announcement and don't forget the colored classes' special day is Friday, in the afternoon. Do your spring cleaning, etc., in the next ten days, then one and all determine to give at least this one afternoon to show your genuine patriotism at the Red Cross rooms; for acts, not words, prove what we stand for. The Denver Star is backing the Red Cross movement. Let everybody join in and help. SHOW UP DENVER AND COLO-ROADO-DENVER STAR'S EDITION OF PICTURES AND 'CUTS—GET IN NOW!

Barclay. 1. They come to our Country's call; they come as loyal men; they come to crush, the beast must fall, that force from Ber-er-lin. They are for victory, and all bent to fight for it in France, all rent. So watch our black Sammies. 2. They love their Country and her might. They go to France under the Stars and Stripes. They will cross the water deep; some in France will always sleep. So let us treat them as the rest, for you and I they do their best—our black Sammies. 3. They leave their happy home, all their loved ones left to mourn; they freely go to foreign land to fight the force of brutish man. Great joy it will be for you and me when they will help win liberty—our black Sammies. As they pass the President stand, patriotic music from their band, marching to the European land, hunting the kaiser, the haughty man, they will do as they have done with might and right to face the Hun—our black Sammies. Remember the Denver Star is only $1. for 6 months, or $1.50 a year, cash n advance. DIED AT HOME. Mr. Fred Ratley died Monday morning at his home surrounded by his friends and relatives, as the direct result of the fourth paralytic stroke. His brother William came dawn from Thermopolis, Wyo. He was buried Thursday noon. Mr. L. Vernon Graye, associated with the California Eagle, was a pleasant caller upon the Denver Star. The Denver Star has received from Bruce and Franklin, publishers of a pamphlet recording the doings of the Negro in the war, one copy of their war publication, and it is with the greatest delight that we read the same. No home is complete without this military information and carefully selected and prepared data. We urge every Negro to see "Dick" Butler and get one. Be prepared upon this military situation and learn what we are, have and can do, militarily. Buy one. The Club ladies certainly went "over the top" despite all opposition of or omission and commission on the part of some. This meeting will be the biggest and best Denver has ever known. A neat sum was raised at Shorter Sunday night. SPOT THE KNOCKERS. The Pond Lily Art Club and the Epworth League crowded Scott Church Tuesday when the "Noble Outcast" was almost faultlessly given. Eact actor deserves special mention for the way their part was so pleasingly acted. The Dramatic Club is all smiles today. IN MEMORIAM In loving memory of James Martin, who passed away two years ago: Let us hope, however, in the language of the Scripture, I go to prepare a place for you, that in the golden summer of another life we will gather in a sweet reunion where partings are unknown. (Signed.) Mrs. Addle Martin, wife. FOOD WILL WIN THE WAR RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE. April 28, 1918. Inasmuch as it has pleased the Almighty God to call from labor to reward our beloved Mrs. Susie Troutman, we, the officers and members of Queen of the West Temple, No. 1, S. M. T., extend our heartfelt sympathy to the bereaved family and commend them to the Heavenly Father, who doeth all things well; we are here to render the last tribute of respect that the living may minister to the dead, honor and station have no power to arrest the hand of the destroyer; man that is born of a woman is of a few days and is full of trouble. God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes and there shall be no more deaths nor sorrow. How beautifully true is the scriptorial compassion of life to a flower which springeth up in the morning but in the evening is cut down and withers away. How gross would be the darkness of the hour were it not for the hope inspired by divine revelations and the comforting word of our Lord, who said, "I am the resurrection and the life;" shall we not seek to be better prepared? The lips that now utters these solemn truths in turn will be stilled in death, for in the providence of God none can escape. Resolved, that a copy of these condolences be sent to the family, the press, and a copy spread upon the records of the Temple. Respectfully submitted, SISTER ALICE L. MASON, SISTER LIZZIE DOUGLASS, SISTER J. M. MASON, Committee. BIG NIGHT AT SHORTER—MME JENNIE HICKS SINGS SUN- DAY NIGHT. Mrs. Adah Clements is doing all she can to push forward the musical interest of Denver by giving a grand musical recital Sunday night at Shorter.

A large crowd will greet them. SHOT IN POOL ROOM. Because Faun Dickerson, son-in-law of Mr. Victor Walker, had had a dispute with Mr. Gillespie an hour or so before the shooting, Mr. Gillespie, who was put out of the pool room before, goes and arms himself and returns and in an hour afterwards opens fire immediately upon Faun Dickerson, who was playing pool. Dickerson ran and vainly tried to dodge behind a post, but the third shot hit him about the heart, which, on account of it being abnormally placed, saved his instant death. Dickerson was doing well as could be expected and hope of recovery is entertained, if no complications set in. Patriotic Mass Meeting, Sunday, June 9, 1918, 3 p. m., at Campbell A. M. E. Church.

Services morning and evening were above the average. The pastor's sermon in the morning and evening was highly commended by all present. We anticipate a real good program June 2 at 2:30 p. m. by the Woman's Home Missionary society. The U. B. F. sermon Sunday evening at Central Baptist 2. Lady Masons' sermon June 16, 2 p. m. Many commend the preface on the church Bulletin last Sabbath, presented by the pastor. Many visitors were present last Sabbath. The morning service brought us through the envelope system $23.73; evening, $15.21; total, $38.94. Sunday School, $8.34. Churches can grow only in proportion to the knowledge acquired by studying God's word, prayerfully and acting intelligently. Systematical work in the church ought to take pre-eminence over ignorance and unsystematic bungling. We highly commend the officers of Central Baptist Church for helping to establish timely conditions in the church. We highly commend our city authorities for downing the bootlegging in Denver. Every joint in our city ought to be put out of business. The slogan of each respective church in Denver ought to be "Away with all bootlegging joints." Evil minded men and women may fight against right for a while, but they will certainly acknowledge the right in a short time. The sick of the church are: Mother Rose, Sis. Calloway, who is improving. Let us not forget June 9 is Rally Day at Central. First Sunday in June, baptizing at Central. We commend the program rendered under the auspices of Centrad church with Mrs. Price, Sister I. Turner, the pastor and Mrs. Bass of Little Rock, Ark., managing. All auxiliaries are in line for many good things this season. The members of the church will celebrate the pastor's birthday May 27 at Central, beginning at 8:15 and ending at 10:15. Mrs. Carriss is mentioned somewhere for a birthday also. Mrs. Bettie Hardy is chairman of the celebrating committee. Watch next weeks' issue for heads of auxiliaries that showed their willingness in honor of the pastor's birthday and the church in general. What about Mrs. M. Peoples? Next week's issue will tell. Remember the gathering of the association, June 18, Trinidad, St. Paul Baptist church. Watch for three Sabbath pastor's sermons, "Three Kind of Men God Dislikes," Sunday morning. Evening sermon, "A Coward and His Works." Come and hear them. MT.

CHURCH NOTES. Mrs. Viola Washington. Sunday morning the audience listened attentively to the very touching and soul-inspiring message delivered by Rev. Over. The force of the discussion was life, its motives, and the question of how it is lived? The pastor said: "Life is by no means passive," and made clear the fact that life should be a steady journey toward the divine goal—the Church of Christ promising, but sweeping down every barrier and moving onward to the conquest of every evil. The evening discussion was "Faith," and was also a source of much inspiration. It is consoling to know God goes before the trusting soul and brings light out of darkness, joy out of sorrow, and peace out of conflict; it is consoling to know that He is our sufficiency—that it is He who takes charge of all unseen CASPER, WYO. BLOOD BREAD Give us an hour to recover from the pain You will receive the best save life to the best and what you need of everything forces and saves us from needless anxiety as the final outcome. One has said, "Faith in God is to a life what the iron framework is to a great building; it is hidden, yet upholds it all." Sunday's addition to the church: Sisters Nora Briggs, Frankie Allen, Bros.

A. hqs had a more profitable and pleasant afternoon than the one spent at Scott M. E. Church last Sunday afternoon. The program prepared for Mothers' Day had been postponed until last Sunday, and when the program began, about 4:15 o'clock, the church was crowded to the very doors. The mothers in the audience occupied reserved seats in the front pews. Chairman L. H. Lightner presided and Mr. Luther Walton offered prayer. The pastor, the Dev. Dr. T. S. McMorris, spoke briefly at the beginning of the program. The audience was in good spirits, and encouraged each speaker with applause as he came upon the platform to speak. The main attraction of the program was the appearance of Mme. Bessie La Bell, the gifted lady barbione, formerly of Chicago, who swept the audience clear off its feet by her splendid rendition of "Good-Bye" and "Joan of Arc." It seemed as if the applause would never die away, and the singer was forced to respond with an encore. With her deep, rich voice, her splendid interpretation, her pleasing manner and attractive personality, the singer captured the hearts of all her hearers. The speakers were: Counsellor E. P. Blakemore, The Significance of This Day;" Counsellor T. O. Mason, "A Mother's Expectations;" Mr. S. B. W. May, "Some Things Mothers Have to Bear;" Mr. Jesse Douglass, "Joys That Come Into the Lives of Mothers," and Secretary Thomas J. Bell, "Our Mothers—God Bless Them."

Faithfully, Your Trustees, A. M. WARD, Minister; G. C. SAMPLE, Secretary; DAVID LONG, Treasurer. "The Star-Spangled Banner." The best authority on the proper wording of "The Star-Spangled Banner," is the author of the song, Francis S. Key. In the course of innumerable printings of the song, differences in the text have occurred due to carelessness, bad memory or deliberate efforts to "improve" it. Of course no one has any definite authority to make changes. Several copies of the song in the author's own handwriting exist. Even these differ, but the differences are very slight, and do not affect the sense. One of these is the copy made by Key immediately after composing the poem, which he had first, after a preliminary sketch, written out on the back of an envelope. While this text is not absolutely the original it is virtually that and may be regarded as the standard. Facsimiles of this and later copies in Key's handwriting are printed together with facsimiles of early printed versions without and with music, in a book issued by the library of congress in 1914—"The Star-Spangled Banner," by Oscar George Theodore Sonneck, who discusses all the evidence about the origin of the song. Prehistoric Man's Intelligence. Some years ago the remains of a prehistoric man were found in central Europe in a geological stratum that showed that he existed at least 500,000 years ago, and probably more. His physical formation, especially the shape and size of the skull, left no doubt, according to scientists, that he had been a well-developed human being with a creditable degree of intelligence. He did not show the brain possibilities of modern man, it is true, but probably he did not need them, since it must have required less intellectual power to dodge the giant dinosaurs and other small-headed members of the Sauropoda family of that day, alarming though they might look, than to escape death from the predatory and terrifying automobile of today.

Prop. CONTEST OF THE SUPERMEN Warfare of Remote Future Predicted to Depend on Battles Conducted by Picked Combatants. A day, now far removed, may come when the embattled hosts of rival nations will give place to a wager of battle to decide the conflict. The battle will then be confined to the combatants alone without violent interference with the peaceful pursuits of noncombatants or destruction of their property. First, however, we must evolve great engines of destruction, so perfect that a few skilled heroes will direct each one of them, Ellery C. Stowell writes in the Century. These war machines will be so costly that only a few great powers will have the resources to construct and maintain them. While legislation and skillful systems of taxation will be necessary to organize the whole people for their support. A chosen few, picked from the whole nation, will man them, men in the full vigor of their strength, physically perfect to endure the terrible strain and powerful of brain to meet and surmount every intricacy of mechanics and every difficulty of strategy. Above all, these hero supermen must be of such unswerving character that they will, day in and day out, without surcase, devote their unfagging zeal to the great task of defending the civilization for which they contend. This evolution and the increasing economic burden of maintenance of this machinery will make war the luxury of the most powerful states and will cause the area of war constantly to recede. Small nations will no longer be able to maintain military establishments and eventually the millions of men now battling upon the field of honor will have been replaced by a contest among a few men in control of stupendous machinery. VELOCITY OF BIG SHELLS Geometer Uses Problem of How Long Time Is Required for Stone to Fall to Center of Earth. Studying the velocity of shells and bullets fired in the war led Maurice Sanger, a French geometer, to turn to the old question of the time it would take a stone to fall to the center of the earth. His conclusion was that it would take about 20 minutes 34 seconds. Gassenddi, who gave the subject much thought in the last century, made the time 20 minutes even. Mersenne on the other hand contended that six hours would be required. Sauger says that as the stone approached the center of the earth it would be drawn downward by the core of the earth and upward by the shaft which it had already penetrated. The rate at which the density of the earth varies or increases as we penetrate to greater depths is unknown. Sauger's formula is based upon considerations of the moment of inertia of the earth, as calculated from the precession of the equinoxes, which agree with observations on the density of the earth conducted in mine shafts. If a shaft were driven right through the earth the stone would appear at the Antipodes after 38 minutes 30 seconds and then return to its starting point, at which it would make its reappearance at the end of 1 hour 17 minutes. Machine Gun Noisy as Riveter. A machine gun makes a noise like a riveter. A doctor near the front writes in the Yale Alumni Weekly: "It was fully two weeks, I think, that I wondered where any structural iron work could be going on here and why the riveter worked in such short spells—then I suddenly realized that it was a machine gun instead of a riveter. It is just the same sound—like a very noisy woodpecker on a hard, hollow tree." THE MOORFIELD STORY DRIVE FOR 50,000 MEMBERS FOR THE N. A. A. C. P. "Join the N. A. A. C. P. "Subscribe for The Crisis." "Help fight to make the race— "Physically free from peonage, "Mentally free from ignorance, "Politically free from disfranchise- "Politically free from disfranchise ment, No race in all history ever had a more commanding slogan than this. When Mr. Moorefield Story, former president of The American Bar Association and now president of our National body, appeared before the U. S. Supreme Court last May to argue the Loomisville segregation case, he positively refused to accept a cent for his service, and later, when the Supreme Court handed down that memorable decision declaring all such ordinances to be unconstitutional, he again refused to accept money tendered him by grateful negroes, and said the only tribute of honor he asked was that we build our membership up to at least 50,000. Should we not, as citizens proud of our growing into the fuller enjoyment of our rights, freely and unstintedly pay this humble tribute to Moorefield Story, the eminent Boston attorney who knows men by their worth and not by their color. He is our foremost white champion of manhood rights in America today. He is the very reincarnation of Sumner and Garrison, those great yearning soils to whom God spoke. The Denver Branch asks the citizens of this place to do their part. May 1st is the date set for this number to be acquired. Join yourself. Ask your white friends to join. In asking for a membership of 50, 000, Mr. Story virtually asks that many Negroes to clasp hands and stand in a solid phalanx for their own uplift, protection and advancement.
