It transpires that while Maj Geri C. C. Ballou, of the 92d Division, was addressing the men under him through Bulletin No. 35, he was at the same time pressing the prosecution of the theatrical manager who had discriminated against a sergeant of the Division.
The prosecution of the manager of the Wareham Theatre for discrimination on account of color instigated at Gen. Ballou's request, was after being twice contiued, tried in police court at Manhattan, Kans. a few days ago, and resulted a conviction of the defendant and the imposition of a fine. It is generally assumed that the conviction, will serve to prevent a repetition of the offense, and will deter other owners and managers from making discriminating on account of color. General Ballou followed the same course in this instance, as he did ag the Officers Training School at Des Moines, Iowa, last summer, namely, while admonishing his men to refrain from precipitating racial disturbances, to prosecute those who would discriminate against his men.
The following letter addressed to E. J. Scott, Assistant to the Secretary of War, although dated April 22, 1918, has just been made public.
My dear Mr. Scott:
I have your request that I make a brief statement relative to Bulletin No. 35. these Headquarters. There seems to be no good reason why I should not do so.
The character of Bulletin No. 35 was that of advice, as already stated. This advice was ordered published to the Division. It had nothing to do with any policy of segregation, or with any policy outside of military establishments Its purpose was to prevent race friction, with the attend ant prejudice to good order and military discipline. Good order and military discipline are the foundation stones of military service. They are in despen sable. Nothing connected with the service of col ored troops has ever been so threatening to good order and discipline as race troubles, and it is well known that our enemies have sought to profit by this fact ever since there has been a prospect of war. No stone has been left unturned. There has always been foes of our country ready to aggravate the grievances of the col ored people on the one hand and to stir up the whites on the other. It was no mere co incident that the East St. Louis atrocities occurred in a city filled largely with German sympathizers.
There is little doubt that the same influence egged on both whites and blacks at Houston. Most troubles have small be-

ginnings. At Houston they grew from the fact of colored soldiers entering cars reserved for the whites, and other similar matters. Great wrongs were eventually commited on both sides, culminating in the killing of a score or more of white people and the hanging 13 Negroes. In the midst of all the feeling and excitement caused by the East St. Louis and Houston troubles the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines won golden approbation all over the U. S., made thousands of friends for the colored race and achieved a glorious success. It did all this by following precisely the advice that was repeated to the 92d Division in Bulletin No. 35.
Our enemies do not wish the U. S. to have its military power increased by colored soldiers, and they stand ready to add fuel to every race discord in order to embarass our country as much as possible in this war. Is it any wonder then, in view of what the enemy has accomplished in the past and is seeking to accomplish again, that the Commander of the colored Division seeks to nip troubles in the bud, and while prosecuting white men for their offense a gainst his soldiers, urges the soldiers to do their part to keep the peace and promote harmony?
I have shown that my position and action were deliberately and maliciously misrepresented to the colored people by the suppression of the news of my prompt prosecution of the theatre manager and by falsely conveying the impression that I had taken no such action. The entire letter that accompanied Bulle tin No. 35 to the press of the colored people was a misrepresentation of my attitude and of the facts in the case, and no fair minded person, when the facts are known' as stated above, can fail to see the work of an enemy—an enemy of our country and an even greater enemy to the colored race. Is the colored race going to "fall" to such schemes? I think not. I think they will contrast the work of the trouble-maker with the solid aachievements of the colored officers' training camp at Fort Des Moines and of the 92nd Division and consider thought fully the words—"By their fruit ye shall know them."
We are the one group of American people, than whom there is none more loyal, which is marked out for discrimination, humiliation and abuse. In the great patriotic and humanitarian movements, in public carriers, in federal service, the treatment accorded us is humiliating dehumanizing and reprehensible in the extreme. This persistent and unreasonable practice is but a thrust at the colored man's self-repect-the object being not merely to separate the races but to impress us with the idea of supposed natural inferiority. Such memoralizing discrimination is not only a violation of the fundamental rights of citizens of the United States, but the persistent segregation of any element of our country population into a separate and distinct group on the sole basis of color is creating a condition under which this nation cannot long endure.
When we reflect upon these brutalities and indignities and remember they are due to the fact that in almost every Southern State we have systematically, by law or chicanery, been deprived of the right of that very manhood suffrage which genuine democracy would guarantee to every citizen in the republic. This propaganda of filching from colored Americans the ballot is but a supreme effort to re-enslave us and to force our assent to, and our impotence against, any legislation of our opponents. To this policy the black man does not, cannot and will not agree. Of it, our intolerance is cumulative. Against it, we shall exert our righteous efforts until not only every eligible black man but every eligible black woman shall be weilding the ballot in defense of our liberties and our homes.
C. C. Ballou, Maj-Gen Commanding 92d Division.
Covington, Ky.—Mr. B. F. Howard 1 inn street, Covington, Ky., passed away last Tuesday morning, age 76.
He was exalted ruler and organizer of the colored Elks. He was a Knight Templar Mason and K. of P: He leaves to mourn his death a wife and other relatives among whom are Mr. and Mrs. L. W. Montgomery of Indianapolis, Ind.
We are appealing to you neither as vassals nor as inferiors. Bull Run and Appomattox fixed our status in this nation. We are free men. We are sovereign American citizens-freemen who purchased with our own blood on every battle field from Bunker Hill to Carrizal full rights and immunities such as are freely granted to others but systematically refused us. We are writing to you, gentleman, that you may give us the assurance and guarantee which every American citizen ought to have without reference to color.
German submarines ha ve bombarded Monrovia, Liber ia, killing several persons
massacred white citizens in Houston have paid the most ignominious penalty that can come in this country to a man in uniform. Do not these undemocratic conditions, these inhumanities, these brutalities and savageries provoke the Rulers of the nation to speak out of their sphinx like silence and utter a voice of hope, a word of promise for the black man? Do the Rulers of the nation also hate us, and will they, Pilate like, forever give their assent to the crucifixion of the bodies, minds and souls of those in whom there has been found nothing worthy of the death we are dying, save that we are black? May not your silence be construed as tacit approval or active tolerance of these things? The effect on the morale of black men in the trenches, when they reflect that they are fighting on foreign fields in behalf of their nation for those very rights and privileges which are denied at home, might be discouraging.
We appeal to you in the name of Democracy!

We appeal to you in the name of God, and

Lynching Increases While Americans Fight For Democracy Ab oad
During the past three decades nearly three thousand American colored men, women and children have suffered butchery and death in almost every conceivable form at the hands of the lynchers of America. Last year alone the number thus murdered was two hundred twenty-two. The reported causes for such appalling brutality run the gamut from all leged violation of the honor of white women to disputing the word of white men. The fact however that only about five per cent of these murders are reputed to have been inflicted upon accused violators of womanhood argues almost conclusively that the desire to protect womanhood is almost negligible among the so called causes of lynchings.
We accordingly regard lynching as worse than Prussianism, which we are at war to destroy. Lynching is not a cure for crime, either imaginary or real. It decreases faith in the boasted justice of our so called democratic institutions. It widens the frightful chasm of unfriendly and suspicious feeling between the races and positively foments the spirit of antipathy and resentment. We are accused of concealing criminals. Who has concealed the many criminals that have mercilessly murdered these three thousand defenseless men, women and children of our race? That these murderers frequently ply their trade in broad day light and in plain view of the entire citizenship even, does not facilitate their punishment or detection. Within less than one year one state alone has tortured and burned at the stake three colored men without even the semblance of a trial or an effort to apprehend and punish the murderers. In the last in stance an entire helpless colored population was marched around the fire amid fumes of a burning human being and put on notice that as that black man was suffering they too should fear to suffer. Thus the defiant lynching giant strides on apace. While we are sacrificing the best blood of our sons upon our Nation's altar to help destroy Prussianism beyond the seas, we call upon you to use your high offices to destroy the lynching institution at our doors.

Howard University Gets New President
Washington. May 13. While it has not been officially announced and will not be until the June meeting of the board of trustees, it is known to inner circles that the new president for Howard University has been elected. The new president-elect is Rev. Dr. Driggs of Massachusetts and he will succeed another white minister, the present president, Rev. Dr. Newman. While other colleges in the country have gotten away from the practice of making preachers presidents. Howard still clings to the practice of choosing superannuated ministers. The election of this white minister again put a damper on the ambition of able colored men to become president of the leading colored college in the country.
We are loyal and will remain so,but we are not blind. We cannot help seeing that white soldiers who massacred our black brothers and sisters in East St. Louis have gone scot free. We cannot help seeing that our black brothers who

The Fight Against Color Prejudice
In these strenuous times strife when all the world is in a turmoil, when men are giving their lives for real lives for real freedom, let us not forget that the Negro race a side from giving their best for the cause of a world Democracy, has a desperate and stubborn fight to make within the bounds of our own beloved country.
The demon prejudice has for years had its forces arrayed against us, and even now, when black men are upholding the glory and honor of the government, prejudice stalks abroad seeking to destroy the ambitions of an oppressed people. Color prejudice has always wielded an unjust influence in the aims of civilization It is the common enemy of the Race to be found in every nook and corner in this country. Democracy knows no color, no hate, but realizes that every man is a man.

PETITIONS! PETITIONS! PETITIONS are the things that will prove that there is countrywide sentiment and determination back of this demanding that an end be put to mob violence. Now, I will not rest until every Congressman is appealed to to take a stand for justice and protection. Will you get men to sign these Petitions in ink, and you divide the number and send them directly to the members of Congress from your State? Send them to men in the House and in the Senate. See that the work is neatly done so as to reflect the intelligence that there is back of this movement. Tell our people to take pride and pleasure in this Resolution, begging Federal Investigation be taken up by Congress. Now, we must win. God will help us if we help ourselves. Keep at it! WORK!
I have good news for you. God is answering our prayers. I appeared before the Rules Committee of the House of Representatives, Friday, August 3rd, and that night Congressman Dyer phoned me that the Committee was wonderfully impressed and had decided to recommend that the Get influential white friends to sign some of them.

Send each Congressman one of the 'closed tags. Write a very short letter, teiling him you know he is going to hear the voice of his fellow countryman, pleading for justice and protection. Make it bristle with patriotism, but make him feel that this country is facing a problem at home that is no loss serious than the problem abroad. Work with us in this. Pray with us and we will win.

HER PRAYER WAS ANSWERED
Little Girl's Appeal for Automobile Ride Proved That Her Argument Was a Good One.
The six-year-old daughter of an attorney has been taught from infancy to have implicit faith in prayer. So strongly has this been impressed on her mind that practically all of her desires and childish wishes sooner or later find expression in prayerful appeal.
The child is a motor enthusiast, and on the first warm day after the severe winter weather she asked her father to take her out for a ride. He explained that their machine was put away for the winter, and that it could not be used at that time. The child then sought her mother and asked her to pray for somebody to come around and take them out for a ride. The mother tried to explain that such a prayer would be unavailing, but, undaunted in her firm belief, the child went to her room and prayed that she might have an auto ride. An hour or so passed, and the little girl waited expectantly and anxiously for the automobile to arrive.
Seeking to allay the child's disappointment the mother started to explain more fully, when the shriek of an automobile horn was heard outside. The child rushed to the door, and to the amusement of the mother, a neighbor asked the girl whether she desired to take a ride. "Will you have room for mother, too?" the girl asked.
The child hurriedly put on her coat and cap, and as she left the doorway she turned to her mother and said:
"See, mother, if you had prayed with me you could have gone, too."
The mother is still wondering.

RESOLUTIONS OF CONDOLENCE.
The Five Points Colored Spear Club
recently adopted the following:
“The members of this club sorrow-
fully join the citizens of Denver, the
state, and the nation in deeply regret-
ting the loss of this great public ben-
efactor. 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 mis-
trust a true friend nor to show ingrat-
itude to a friend and, because of this,
he numbered his friends by thousands
among all classes and all races.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED,
THAT THIS
club will stand by the new executive
of this city, believing it to be our duty
to carry out the broad policies of the
late mayor, As a furthur mark of re-
spect to this good man,

ords of our club and that a copy of the
same be transmitted to Mrs. Spear and

Reservoir Dams in Tunis.
Alrendy the French are looking for
ward to the rapid development of the
province of Tunis in Africa. Accord-
ing to a civil engineer who has been
Investigating the matter there are
about 85 localities in that country
where dams could be constructed, with
reservoir capacities ranging from 8,-
000,000 to 400,000,000 cubic meters, and
water power ranging from 30 to 6,000
horse power of continuous energy. The
engineering difficulties are stated to
be small in comparison with those of
dams already built in Europe and the
United States, and the utilization of
the water for irrigation, electrical
power, and in one case canal nayiga-
tion {s estimated to furnish a good
margin of profit. The numerous ruins
of Roman dams found in Tunis show
by what methods the country became.
“the granary of Rome" under the em-
pire and the ruins of large cities, with
collseums, bath and temples of great
size standing in what are now bared
plains, are evidence of the success of
the organized methods of irrigation of
those ancient times.

A CALL FOR COLORADO WORKERS
FOR THE RED CRO88,
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 en-
Usted. The volunteer spirit is fine.
The work is of the best, but the mem:
bers are not what we would like to
see, At first the colored class num-
bered 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 subst!-
tute to take her place. The class as-
sembles 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 aone more ap-
pealing 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 Gilpin;
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 rath-
er 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 Ist 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 deter-
mine to give at least this one after-
noon 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. a

THE PROTEST: LET NO SUCH
DECISION STAND.
I desire to protest against the rul-
ing and decision in the case wherein
a Colored officer, or soldier, must
swallow discrimination without protest
and do humbly yet strenuously petition
the War Department to change any
such ruling or decision which is not
based upon a man’s moral or legal
right of action, use or enjoyment of a
privilege. 1 further protest because
such a decision 4s vicious in principle,
unjust in operation in an army of de-
mocracy and un-American in sugges:
tion.

6. The conceited man—knows where all the best things are without being told.
7. The modern Shylock—believes in nothing but the "pound of flesh" mortgage.
8. The narrow-gauge man—refuses to listen to anything "out of his line.
9. The unfortunate man—has a friend who invested and lost.
10. The fool—thinks a thing worthless or it wouldn't be offered to him.

OUR BLACK SAMMIES.
By Rev. T. B. J. 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 Sammles.

WHY ADVERTISE ONE'S WOES?
Silly Habit That Is Altogether Too Common Among Unthinking People of Both Sexes.
It is surprising to see how quickly a dark cloud can rise and completely overcast the fair, blue sky of a lovely summer day. Just as swiftly can the ill humor or ill health of one or two persons put a damper on a group of people.
We all know the woman who is constantly complaining of her chronic headache, her rheumatism, or the trouble she has with her servants; we stand in awful terror of the man who
—with almost demoniac glee—goes into all the grewsome details of his last operation; we groan—mentally, at least—when made to listen to the youth or maiden whose personal distresses unopioize the conversation. Each one is as welcome to an assembly of congenial souls as is the proverbial flea 'o the equally proverbial three-legged dog.
It’s a capital idea for each of us to remember that our own experiences are rarely as interesting to others as to ourselves, unless told with the touch of an artist; and that fewer things are more difficult or more unpleasant to listen to than the recital of another’s woe, particularly if that other is not a “nintimate friend” in need of special advice and sympathy.
Let us keep the accounts of our grievances locked within our breasts until the tiny golden key of fitting opportunity is presented, and face the world with the countenance of a cheerful stoic and the consideration of a Sir Philip Sldney. Only thus may we be sure of creating about us an atmosphere of gentle breeding and good manners—Elizabeth Van Rensselaer.
Where Thomas Yale Resta.
In the new American army there are many officers whose alma mater is Yale college, and some of them regard Wrexham, in North Wales, as a place of almost personal interest. For it is there that Thomas Yale, who inaugurated the great seat of American learning, was buried, and it is interesting to recall that in the early nineties a root of ivy from his grave was sent to Professor Phelps, formerly the American minister in London, to plant against the college building.—London Chronicle.
FOOD WILL WIN
THE
WAR
BULLETIN SAVES MUCH TIME
Government's Official Newspaper, Answering Questions, Obviates Loss of Time of Correspondents.
Owing to the enormous increase of government war work the governmental departments at Washington are being flooded with letters of inquiry on every conceivable subject concerning the war, and it has been found a physical impossibility for the clerks, though they number an army in themselves now, to give many of these letters proper attention and reply. There is published daily at Washington, under authority of and by direction of the president, a government newspaper, the Official Bulletin. This paper prints every day all of the important rulings, decisions, regulations, proclamations, orders, etc., as they are promulgated by the different departments and the many special committees and agencies now in operation at the national capital. This official journal is posted each day in every post office in the United States, more than 56,000 in number, and may also be found on file at all libraries, boards of trade, chambers of commerce, and the offices of mayors, governors, and federal officials.
By consulting these files most questions will be found readily answered; there will be little necessity for Letter writing; the unnecessary congestion of the mails will be appreciably relieved; the railroads will be called upon to move fewer correspondence sacks; and the mass of business that is piling up in the government departments will be eased considerably. Hundreds of clerks now answering correspondence will be enabled to give their time to essentially important war work, and a fundamentally patriotic service will have been performed by the public.
HOW TO MAKE POTATO BUTTER
British Ministry of Food Gives Time to Studying Out Plans to Conserve the Supply.
The ministry of food states that in view of the shortage of butter they have been carrying out experiments in order to find suitable and economical ways of eking out the available butter and margarine supplies by mixing in other food substances and so producing cheap and palatable substitutes, says the London Times. These experiments have shown that an excellent "potato butter," costing only about 5d per pound (or less if margarine is used) can easily be made in any household without special knowledge or apparatus in accordance with the following recipe:
Peel the potatoes and boil (or steam) until they fall to pieces and become flowery. Rub through a fine sieve into a large basin which has been previously warmed. To every 14 ounces of mashed potatoes add two ounces of butter or margarine and one teaspoonful of salt. Stir thoroughly with the back of a wooden spoon until the whole is quite smooth. The butter may then be made up into pounds or half-pounds and kept in cool place.
The potato butter may be improved in appearance by the addition of a few drops of butter coloring, and if it is to be kept for more than a few days butter preservative, of which there are several forms on the market, should be used. The amount should be in accordance with the printed instructions on the packet for use in butter. Both the coloring and the preservative should be well mixed into the potato at the same time as the butter and salt. If these directions are carefully followed potato butter will keep for a considerable time.
Two Classes of Women.
In this country the women are divided into two main classes—those who don't believe all their husbands tell them and those who haven't any husbands—Indianaapolis News.
Exact Truth.
Examine your words well, and you will find that, even when you have no motive to be false, it is a very hard thing to say the exact truth, even about your own immediate feelings—much harder than to say something fine about them which is not the exact truth.-George Elliot.

Remarkable new uses for the telephone are constantly being discovered. Recently a test in London showed that it is possible to diagnose heart troubles by telephone at a distance of 100 miles. Four physicians on the Isle of Wight listened to the beating of a woman's heart in London. A stethoscope held over the heart was attached to a telephone by means of which sounds are magnified. This offers a suggestion to loving couples.—Los Angeles Times.
Great Apple Industry
The apple industry in the United States today represents a stupendous commercial achievement. It had grown to 60,000,000 barrels in 1916; it dropped to 28,000,000 in 1911, and went up again to 40,000,000 barrels in 1912. From this date forward there is a continual increase in the production, for the great cities of the world are crying for apples, and people everywhere are just beginning to apprehend the actual value of this delicate fruit. We are turning backward to our heritage, for in the days of our great-grandfathers the common adage was: "An apple a day will keep the doctor away." Fruit as a part of the diet represents a most health-giving element—Christian Herald.

CENTRAL BAPTIST SHOWS LOVE
FOR PASTOR.
Monday evening a large number of
members and friends of Central Bap-
tist church, as guests of the deacon
board and choir, attended a reception
at the church. ‘The occasion was the
celebration of the 42nd birthday of
their popular pastor, Rev. P. J. Price,
and the 23? birthday of Mrs. Gussie
Carriss, chorister of the church choir.
‘The church was tastefully decorated
with flowers and on the rostrum with
the pastor sat a loyal board of dea-
cons, who have made possible the
wonderful success of their pastor dur-
ing the past 6 years. Mrs. Carris has
been an ardent and zealous worker in
Central choir for years and the two
organizations were honoring their
loved leaders.
With Mrs. J. Franklin as mistress
of ceremonies, the following program
was rendered: Solo, Miss K. Lewis;
Address, Deacons Brown and Hall;
Selection, Y. W. ©. A. Quartet; Ad.
dress, Deacons Spencer and Martin;
Oration, Mr. Troy Brandon; Quartet,
Willing Workers; Solo, Mrs. Gussie
Carriss; Remarks, Lawyer Geo. Ross.
After the program the list of presents
given was read by Mrs. Price. The
friends had remembered the reverend
in a generous manner, giving food-
stuffs, ties, collars, socks, handker-
chiefs, more than fourteen dollars in
money, a Stetson hat, and the choir
gave @ complete brass desk set.
The refreshment commitee, with
Mrs. John Hardy as chairman, had
prepared a delightful luncheon of sal-
mon salad, sandwiches, coffee, ice
cream and cake which was served in
the ladies’ rest room of the church.
The members of Central church
have accomplished, under the leader-
ship of Rev. Price, what no other
church has attempted, having com-
6
pleted the first fioor of what Is to be
the most thoroughly modern church
in Denver, and have paid as they pro-
gressed. Monday night they expressed
their confidence in, loyalty and es-
teem for open, honest leadership and
their willingness to give continued
support. *

WHEN HE MADE RECORD JUMP
Youngster Was Trying to Escape Dog He Thought Was Mad, So There Was Abundant Reason.
Commander C. B. Fry, who has temporarily relinquished athleticism in order to train boys for the navy, described to me the other day how he first came to discover his ability as a jumper.
"When quite a youngster," he said, "I was one day strolling along close to our house, when there came bounding along the road in my direction an exceedingly wicked-looking terrier I had recently become possessed of.
"The animal was foaming at the mouth and showed other unmistakable signs of excitement and distress. Hydrophobia was rife in the district at the time. A horrid fear gripped me. Turning swiftly aside, I took the ditch and hedge bordering the road in one wild leap, loaded safely in an orchard on the other side, and was up a plum tree a few seconds later.
"The dog, however, followed through a gap in the hedge and sat at the bottom of the tree, but he brought a toad in his mouth, and I perceived he was not mad beyond the degree of trying to eat the toad. So I came down, and went to have a look at the hedge I had jumped over.
"It was much higher than my head, not to mention the ditch. It was many years before I jumped as high again."
—Pearson's Weekly.
IRON FOUNDRY IN WAR AREA
How Women of France Are "Doing Their Bit" to Keep the Wheels of Industry Moving.
An interesting narration of operation under unique and difficult conditions of an iron foundry in the war area is given by the correspondent of a British paper writing from the firing line in France. He relates: One does not see much foundry work out here, but a few weeks ago I was billed in a town near by, and actually saw a cupola in full blast. I at once got a permission to have a look around, and was greatly surprised at what I saw. The foundry was a very primitive affair—just a little jobbing shop—and was mostly run by French women and girls, superintended by a few men. These women were making work up to three or four hundred pounds in weight, and in a little side shop some half dozen women were making component parts of machinery by the simple method of bedding-in. I afterward saw some of the finished work, and it would put to shame the work done by many of our so-called molders at home. The women work in ordinary dress, and work very clean and exact in both iron and brass, and also under shell fire and air raids. In the shop was a great hole where a German had dropped a bomb the night before, but the women still worked on—Scientific American.
Made brave Rescue.
Once a terror to mariners, Minotas light, which stands on a reef off Boston harbor, has another thrilling story added to its history, says the Popular Mechanics magazine. Three days before Christmas, Captain Octavius Reamey, the keeper, approached the tower in his motorboat, which was loaded with provisions and fuel obtained on the mainland. As the craft drew up, it was overturned by the waves that were breaking over the base of the structure, leaving the captain battling alone in a tossing maelstrom of icy water. The assistant keeper was lowered on a rope from the door fifty feet above. He managed to seize the drowning man before it was too late, and both men were pulled from the water by their companions to the doorway high in the tower.
COLORED WAITERS NEEDED
FOR NAVY.
The local Navy Recruiting Station has received orders to enlist as many Colored men as possible for duties as waiters on board vessels of the Navy. Colored waiters or mess attendants as they are known aboard ship, receive $38.40 per month, with rapid increase in pay for those who are capable. Colored men who enter this branch of the Navy are in direct line for promotion to cooks and stewards. If you wish to lear nte cokes or stewards trade here is an excellent opportunity. Registered men may enlist and will be placed in class five of the army draft immediately. Dining car waiters, club, restaurant and hotel waiters are preferred, but any man who can present latters showing capability as a waiter may be accepted for the above position.
The monthly pay of a married man in this service is $53.40, and for a married man with one child, $63.40 to start. There is no better chance for a sober, industrious Colored man in any branch of the service.

QUINDARO CLOSES ITS 22ND ANNUAL SESSION.
Dr. F. Jesse Peck Elected President U. S. Government to Train Mechanics. Thursday, May 16th, marked the closing of a successful year's work in view of the loss of our esteemed president a few months ago. Among the many programs and entertainments leading up to the closing were several brilliant recitals by the graduates and students of the music school. In keeping with the nation's war program, the trustees aranged an earlier closing which the faculty and student body entered into with zeal and enthusiasm. Thirty-two graduates were given diplomas and certificates from the various departments of the school, while several young men were preparing to answer their country's call, they remained to the closing to receive their diplomas.
At the annual meeting of the State Board of Trustees on May 16th, Dr F. Jesse Peck, D.D., of Topeka, Kansas, was elected to the presidency succeeding the late Dr. H. T. Kealing Dr. Peck returns to the school after having served as its president during its infancy. He comes back with a broader vision of the work and plans to maintain the high standard and efficiency which marked the administration of the late president. Present prospects,point to a bigger and greater school for the coming year.
A contract has been closed with the U. S. Government to place 100 Nation al army men on the school campus for special instruction in technical branches in the trades department. Additional equipment and machinery is being installed for them and on June 15th the men will arrive and be as signed as follows: 20 in carpentry and wood work; 30 in electrical work; 40 in blacksmithing and forging and 10 in concrete work. Several of the school's instructors have been employed by the government to give this course. The men will be under command of the Negro officers and will be quartered and fed in the buildings
Zion Church Notes
Mrs. Viola Washington.
The sermon preached by Rev. Over Sunday morning was very instructive, and was one designed to lead the church into an appreciative and uplifting intimacy and knowledge of its covenant. The text: "For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God and are become such as have need of milk and not strong meat." Heb. 5:12. The pastor said that this was a stinging rebuke to the church, that God's will and intent was that there be strong men and women in the church. It is a school of advancement in learning, and that one-half the men and women in the church expect to be Christians without the study of God's word. He declared that the deplorable lack of God's consciousness is due to lack of study. The evening discussion was, "Have faith in God." A portion of Mark 11:22. This entreaty was the source of much inspiration, and was enjoyed by all. Sunday, June 9th, is Children's Day. Do not forget they are preparing to render an excellent program. Sunday, June 16th, will be annual offering day. It is expected that everyone will be loyal to obligation. Thursday, June 27th, the Invincible Concert company will entertain at Zion church.

John T. Burdette—Funeral services was held May 31st, 2 p. m., from Douglas Chapel. Interment Riverside cemetery.
The Denver Star sent by Rev. McLeod of the Presbyterian Mission of Dearfield, who was kind enough to consent to take one mail bag full of seeds to be equally divided among Dr. Jones, Ben Holley, Ell Burrell and E. Dandorth. Through some unknown mysterious mistake and unfortunate happening, the seeds were left at Mrs. Ford's and never delivered to the parties intended, so Mr. Burrell writes us. He has never seen mail bag nor seeds and the Star is unable to know what could have become of the seeds. We are therefore asking Rev. McLeod and Mrs. Ford and Mr. George North to explain and help the Star solve this puzzling mystery and get the seeds to the parties intended. We await for a reply, patiently. Who got the seed"
Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Balley of Dearfield Colony, were down to prove up on their Government claim.

MRS. MARY TUMLIN TRIUMPHS BRINGS IN BIG PURSE. CLUB
Never in the history of club life has there been a greater demonstration of the ability to surmount all obstacles and reach the stars through difficulties than was exemplified by Sojourner Truth Club in the recent Diamond Ring Contest.
No one doubted but the fair contestants would succeed in securing funds, as the public has been most generous in alding The Negro Woman's Club home, yet all were amazed, electrified, when the news swept over the city how they had "gone over the top" and added $200 toward the payment of stock. Too much praise cannot be given the contestants for the excellent work done and the club is deep indebted to them for their service rendered. Especial mention is due Mrs. Mary Tumlin, through whose untiring zeal, the largest amount of money ever raised by any club women in contest has been accomplished. Possessing a most genial manner, she has won the respect of all, and that she reported over $148 at the contest, and over $5 since, but bespeaks her popularity. She has won the beautiful diamond ring and the admiration and love of the club and community. Mrs. Maude Wynne reporting over $62, received the lavailer and the other contestants, Mesdames Maud Hayes, Susle Goss and Miss Bernice Eubanks, contributed much toward the success of the event. All hall! the contestants and the Sojourner Truth Club.
BOY SCOUT NOTES.
Troop 50 attended the memorial services of the Spanish War Veterans Sunday eve.
The baseball team will play troop 23 Decoration Day, after the parade.
The troop is under many obligations to Mrs. Jones for the superintending and purchasing the swell flag and flagpole, which was presented to us Sunday eve. We also thank the citizens of Denver that made donations.
We are making preparations for the Sunday School convention and our grand entertainment next month.
Wm. Price left Wednesday night for Missoula, Montana, for an indefinite stay.
As was expected, Mrs. Adah Clement, as president of the Self-Guilding Club, filled Shorter Church with Mme. Jennye Hicks Le Noir as the principal soloist. Mme. Le Noir never sang sweeter and with such feeling as upon that occasion, while Mesdames Barnett and Misses Bettina Jackson and Mabelle Cole were very enthusiastically received and commended. Everybody is congratulating Mrs. Downey-Clement as a consequence.
Mrs. Frances M. Toombs was married recently in Garden City, Kans., to a wealthy farmer. Mrs. Stanfield, her mother is visiting her and will return to Denver in June.
