OCEAN-GOING VESSELS DOCKED AT OUR MUNICIPAL WHARVES AT THE TURNING BASIN ON THE SHIP CHANNEL NORTH CAROLINA TEACHERS DEPLORE RACIAL FRICTION WANT GENUINE DEMOCRACY NEWSPAPER MAN SUCCEEDS DR. EMMETT JAY SCOTT AS TUSKEGEE'S SECRETARY (By Associated Negro Press.) Raleigh, N. C.—"We believe that the time has come when in the home, in the school, in the church, that factional differences, denominational strife, and racial friction should be lost sight of the children and the people be taught their proper relation to one another and that all differences should be settled on the basis of the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man. So declared the report of the committee on race relations at the annual meeting of the Colored State Teachers Association which adjourned in Raleigh yesterday after adopting the report which embraced this sentiment as a clause. In its closing session, the convention considered very seriously the question of race relations and the best ways of promoting a more sympathetic approach to teaching. Dr. A. M. Moore, in his presidential address before the body suggested that perhaps there is NEWSPAPER MAN DR. EMMETT AS TUSKEGEE (By Associated Negro Press.) Tuskegee; Ala—When Emmett J. Scott was called to Washington to become the special assistant to the secretary of war, his assistant at Tuskegee, Mr. Albon L. Holsey, became the acting secretary and later the secretary to the principal. It is understood here that since Mr. Scott's has resigned to become secretary-treasurer of Howard University, Mr. Holsey is to continue in his present relations to the principal. The duties of the principal's executive secretary are many and varied. He is necessarily required to handle many complex and confidential matters as well as to direct and supervise the work of ten or more stenographers and clerks who constitute the working staff of the principal's office. In his annual re Nichols' $75,000.00 Damage Suit Lost; Plaintiff Pays Cost Hon. W. P. Bledsoe, grand master Texas U. B. P. and S. M. T., was here too much discussion of late about race antipathy, hatred and prejudice. "Little headway can be made," he added, "by continually nagging and complaining. The better way would be to seek wisely some plan to address it. Evidently the main accomplishment of the recent world war so far is that we have now a better opportunity to discuss peace terms than we had before. Men are entitled to have a right to own rights that come by virtue of their character, ability and patriotism. "The duty of the hour," he continued, "demands that teachers and leaders of both races apply themselves to the humane task of establishing amitable relations between the races. It must be done for the common good of all. The nightmare of social equality is the vitiol that poisons our political and national life. You, fellow teachers, must sanely teach, fraternity and fellowship, and will solve the issues that distress us as citizens of the great American republic." port to the trustees, Dr. Moton says of Mr. Holsey: "I wish to speak of the faithful, painstaking service of Mr. Albon L. Holsey, who during Mr. Scott's absence in Washington has acted as secretary of the school and later as secretary to the principal. But for his excellent oversight and supervision, the work of the principal's office, as well as many other phases of the school's life, might not have gone so smoothly." As associate editor of the Tuskegee *a* Student, Mr. Holsey and that newly established Mr. Scott went to Washington and will continue in that capacity. He is also assistant secretary to the National Negro Business League and is the Tuskegee correspondent of many dailies and weekly newspapers. Mr. Holsey, Georgia, graduated from the Knox Institute of that city and later was a student at Atlanta University. on business this week, and as usual, won his case, where he, W. L. Davis, C. A. Gillmore, C. P. Richardson, the fraternity at al were paid for $75,000 by Mr. Joseph Nichols, ex-treasurer of the Texas order. It was declared a non-suit, the plaintiff paying all the cost of court. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, JULY 5, 1919. NEW YORK DESIGNER HAS ORIGINATED FLAG FOR BLACK RACE;WILL PATENT IT,TOO (By Associated Negro Press.) Miami, Fla.—Attorney R. E. S. Toomey, legal advisor and state organizer of the Negro uplift Association, who recently headed a delegation that visited the state capital and presented to the president of the senate and speaker of the house of representatives a memorial uplifting that no color line he drawn in the making up of lists for jury service, addressed a letter to Gov. Catts made reply that he had nothing to do with the disposition of the memorial that he will endeavor to safeguard the interests of all people in Florida on a just basis.

Rochester, N. Y. - Starcina Williams, with whom originated the movement to petition the government to confer upon the Negroes of the country the privilege of naming one of the world war battlesmen of the army in the work of the Negroes in the world war, has designed a flag for the Negroes of the world. Mr. Williams says he believes that the one thing the Negroes lack to make them a unit throughout the world is racial cohesion, and he believes that a flag will have that effect. The flag has a black field, denoting the dark continent of Africa, and a gold star in the up- VIOLET RAY TREATMENT MAKES ONE "BEST" EDD Determined that her patrons shall have nothing but the best and latest in beauty culture, Madan N.

Beloit, Wis.—Painting a vivid picture word of the "Grounds of the Negro's Hope," Dr. P. O'Connell, presacher, held spell-bound a perspiring audience in Beloit College chapel. Between every perspiration drop there was a laugh and between every laugh a sudden rapt attention to the shocking impulse of the progress in race. "Of all the soldiers who answered the call to have democracy," Dr. O'Connell declared, "the Negroes stand at the top. The Negro stands at least among the chief of those who went to the rescue of civilization. O'Connell, a death-dealing instrument known to man was in their midst. Now you and I must be heroes here. "The Negro race, which has suffered more than any race, is disfigured by an invincible more than any race, able to change the dream of sensual things, but a desire for all the privileges of doing and being all that becomes a man.

GOLDEN TEXT—Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it.—Eph. $23. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL - I-Cor. 10:30, 11:30, 14:15, 16:15, 17:15, Nov. 18:30, 19:30 TOPIC - Our Father's House JUNIOR TOPIC - We Should Love the Church. NEMESHED TOPIC - What the Church does with What We Should do for the Church. SENOR AND ADULT TOPIC The Rift and MISSION of the Church. The Origin of the Church (Acts 2:1-4) Fifty days after the passover, while the 120 men and women were "with one accord in one place" the Holy Crown came upon them and beaten them (Acts 2:12-13). Thus was the body called the church. The church had its beginning at Pentecost. The believers were rescued from the resurrected Christ as head. II. Conditions of Entrance into the Church (Acts 2:3-14) Through this testimony the Spirit conceived Pentecost. Peter witnessed to the death and resurrection of Christ. Through this testimony the Spirit conceived Pentecost. Peter witnessed to the desperate need they cried out: "What shall we do?" Peter's reply indicated the steps into the church. (1) Belief in Jesus Christ as Savior. This belief was the basis that they had crucified was the Messiah. (2) Respentance. One early entering the church should repent; should and attitude toward Jesus Christ. (5) Be baptized. The divinely appointed method for the public confession of Jesus Christ who have believed in Jesus Christ should receive this tangible ordinance which symbolizes our identification in his death, burial and resurrection. (6) Receive remission of sins. Those who have been united to Jesus Christ have all their sins removed; they have been saved. The church has a standing before God which is absolutely perfect. The Holy Spirit is the birthright of every regenerated soul who is obedient to Christ. The church of the Primitive Church (c. 2:42-47). 1. They continued in the apostle's doctrine (v. 42). Instead of being taught by the scriptures they are now taught by the apostle, turned away from their blind guides and are following new ones. 2. They continued in the fellowship around Christ (v. 42). The breaking of bread illustrated the ones of believers in Christ. As all partook of one loaf, so all believers 3. They continued in prayer (v. 42). The dead church is a praying church. 4. The dead church was made to worship (v. 44-45). They had all things in common. Those that had possessions sold them and distribution was made to them. 5. They were filled with praise (v. 44). All those who have had the expulsion of the life of God being believed in them, and gratitude must express itself. IV. The Mutual Duties of Offices and members of the Church (I Thess. 5-115). 1. Mutual intercourse for comfort and edification (v. 11). There is no cause in the church of Jesus Christ; it is given to those who are engaged in spiritual service (v. 12). Only as the child of Jesus Christ, it is given to women turn from their secular to spiritual interests. Those who thus respond to the call of God should have proper respect. 5. Proper respect should be given to church officials (v. 13). 6. Proper respect should be given to women to those who are leaders in the church of Christ we should give them proper respect. One of the signs of the deformity of a Christian is a rejection shown Christian ministers. 4. Live in peace (v. 13). Although there is in the church a diversity of personalities the love of Christ should be that there no strife in his body. Warn the disorderly (v. 14). As Christ chose twelve and one was a slave, so the other two those who are disorderly. All such should be lovingly warned. 6. Be not retaliative (v. 15). Although we should us we should not retaliate. Self-Knowledge. Self-knowledge is a wonderful resistor to unkind criticism. No one who has lived much within the doors of his own house has discovered a surprising number of faults and weaknesses. His own rules are broken by himself, his mood suddenly becomes unpredictable. He fences that he fences that his self is living at peace, a lower self unexpectedly appears and often dominates his words and his actions. He has such a sense of control that he ceases to wonder at his neighbors. Censoriousness and cavalting at the shortcomings of others are, in his words, the most sightable of self but slight acquaintance with self. A Tremendous Fact God needs men. That is the tremendous fact that stands out in every story. God is inhabited. Inhabited the earth since Adam walked out of Eden when that man was born. God is face and heart. It is being thrust at us as never before. that God needs The Relation of Joy to Success BY REV. HOWARD W. POPE Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT—Restore unto me the joy of thy vision: will I teach transgressors way, and sinners shall be converted unto thee. If there is any conscious sin in a person's life it is impossible for him to do effective personal work. Only those who have a relation to the Lord can win on behalf to help. JOHN H. BURKE It was not strange that Dawe when he scribes, or that sinners were no longer being conceived in ministry. There was sin in his life, and he knew it well. He was hearty confession and plea for mercy. Persuading people to repent is a work so delicate and difficult that it is useless to attempt it unless we are right. At a time when there was some regions interest at Princeton college on the East Side, a worker. He was assigned to see a certain man. When asked about the result of his visit, he replied, "Ob. no, I don't want to mistake me to send me there." When asked him why he was not a Christian he looked at me and said, "Are you a Christian? You want to be straight, I think I am about the average." "You are? Yes." "Then I do not want to be Christian, I want to be straight, I think I am about the average." The unbeliever had seen him cheat in examinations; he had seen him cheat in outward life is exemplary, there may be a secret, unforgiving spirit, or unwillingness to do Goe's will, which is a kind of madness. A lady once said to me, "I am the daughter of a minister; I am a graduate of Wellesley college; I have been a teacher for fifteen years old, and yet to the best of my knowledge I have never led a single soul to Christ." "That is true; but I had nothing to do, and that is what is breaking my heart." "Do not be too sure of that." I re-read and then I am ill at illustration. "Do not be too sure of that." In the chandelier was suspended by a chain instead of a chain. What a chain! The chandelier was important, the first, or the second, or the last one? "Do not be so there as there would be any difference. If you take it out of them, the whole thing would come down." true, "I replied, 'Now, in the long chain of events by which God brings any wandering soul back to himself, which is the most important the first, or the fifth, or the last.'" "There is no reason. Is any one of the links is gone, you cannot secure the first, or the fifth, or the last." "Perhaps you did not speak the final words that led your boys to decapitate, but you have certainly spoken the final words for some one else to lead them to decision. Who shall say that your wife were not just as important as his?" "There is some comfort in that, mankind," "but that, why I said it." "But do you not think that every Christian ought to be able to speak the last words which lead a soul to death." "I do. I believe that God wishes all children to be soul-swimmers, and provides abundant provision for that end." "I think there is something wrong in my life," she replied, and so I went to the Lord for the Lord to show her what I needed. in a few weeks she sent me a letter of condolence to life to winning souls to Christ. In this instance there was some conscious disobedience that had evidently been caused by the absence of as there is any such obstacle one cannot pray with confidence, or speak with power. We must be able to look at the world and see that I love thee," and also look our neighbor in the face and say, "You know that I am an unhappy for your condescension." The Hand That Leads Us. In old days were angels who came and took them by the hand and led them away from the city of尧城 to the city of尧城 now. But men are led away from threatening deception; a band of angels now, and the fourth gently toward a calm and bright land, so that they look no more backward; and the hand may be a little The Conditions of Prayer Prayer must hold fast to these conditions: We must not forget that he came to us with a gift, a speech, who permits us to bring all be fore him, but reserves to himself to grant us what he will also, we must give him what we cannot give, nothing for which our conscience would forbid us to give thanks, but thanks to Jesus in connection with spiritual values; and finally we must pray only for things we must work to set our whole strength to work. DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER "Well," said one of the cows, "I am quite tired out. Quite tired out. I just want to chew my ced and go to sleep. I was a delightful picnic, wasn't it?" "Yes," said Miss Holstein, known as Miss Hannah, and "I believe it was given especially for it." And another cow known as Miss Betty. "Yes, lets of farmers got together who owned fine cows and that is why some of us were sold and exchanged with others. Our master sold us, but we were sold together." said Miss Hatty. "I always get along well with you, though I am not such an affectionate creature, I rather give you up than chewing my end any day." said Miss Hattah. "Did you see all the ice cream they had at the picture?" asked Miss Hatty. "Yes, I did just gallons and gallons of ice Miss Hattah. "Go out to help make it," said Miss Hatty. "I didn't help make it," said Miss Hattah. "you did, you often help to make ice cream. No, I don't," said Miss Hattah. "I have never made ice cream. I could not turn the handle or pack in the ice cream." said Miss Hattah. "I've seen the farmer's boy doing it, turning around the freeser as he sat on the back steps. I helped him, I didn't see how you think I could. You haven't much sense, Miss Hatty. Could I turn that crank with my tail, do you support?" said Miss Hatty was grinning, a silly coarse grin. "My dear Miss Hannah, I didn't say that you helped freeze the ice cream, but you do help to make it. Don't," she said. "Yes, said Miss Hannah. "Well, then, use your thinking cap," I haven't seen," said Mrs Hannah. "I never seen the need of it, and no one ever has given it to me. Sometimes I've thought I'd like a bonnet with more eyes than the need of it, move about and keep the flies away." "Oh," said Mrs Hatty. "I am a stupid cow but you are more stupid. Who didn't see to mind in the least being thought stupid. "That I am," said Mrs Hatty. "I am stupid cow should have stopped to think, not easily to put on a cap or a hat, just to think." "Oh, I see. You are looking rather sleepily at Miss Hatty." "Well, you admit—now you have helped with ice cream, don't you?" "Oh, here were many auto-mobiles there today, so many rich farmers, so many excitements. And there were prizes. You won prizes. I tell you that was an honorable sort of a picnic for a cow to be said." said Mrs Hatty. "Well, you are a great host for any to be said." said Mrs Hannah. "Yes, yes. but then we're superior. I've always heard," said Miss Hatty, "that it makes any difference to me." "It doesn't make much difference to me, said Miss Hatty, "though I support it." "Yes, but," she added. "We go to county fairs and exhibitions." "It doesn't make much difference to me, said Miss Hatty, "but they are all the same. People look at us, we look at people, but the only things that are really fun are sleeping, eating, grating, chewing our cud, and grazing the dices away with our tails." "Yes, said Miss Hatty, "cows are extremely creatures about having excitement." Books aa Companions If we thought of books as companions and chose them as we do other books, we would be mindful that mount at the libraries would be left untouched upon the shelves. And yet books are companions, and the assocations are companions. In character-molding as assocation with people. Choose your book friends. Choose other companions. —Girl's Companion.

The following letter is the department's plan and object: "It is the desire of the department of labor to stimulate business by suggesting to present advertisers that they increase their space, and to prospective advertisers that they bring their plans to a head and start advertising immediately. "The surest and quickest way to bring business to its pre-war basis is to overcome the general apathy to buying which exists in the minds of many people at present. Advertising will do this." "We would like to see more retail advertising and more national advertising, and we believe the press of the country and yourselves will appreciate the foot-ings of such a movement by the department of labor."

(All Matter Copyrighted) Entered as second-class matter May 28, 1919, at the postoffice at Houston, Texas, under the Act of March 3, 1879. THE INFORMER'S PLATFORM: 1. Democracy, both domestic and foreign. 2. Playgrounds for colored children. 3. Racial discrimination in youth teachers and physical properties, for colored youths. 4. Educated, consecrated ministry. 5. Development of the Houston Ship Channel, thereby making Houston the South's premier city. 6. Co-operation between the white and colored races on all matters of vital importance and less racial animosity and antagonism. 7. Good streets, better drainage and sanitary toilets for positive urban population. 8. Federal investigation of, and Federal legislation to suppress, lynching. 9.

RACE MEN. WHICH DO YOU PREFER? One of the most unique pieces of advertising that has ever attracted our attention from a race concern was handed to us a few days ago by Hon. W. E. C. Matthews, superintendent of the Houston district of the American Mutual Benefit Association, Incorporated, the greatest institution of its kind in the Southwest. Most advertising matter is simply matter—nothing less, nothing more; but what elicited unusual attention was not the workmanship, which is good; nor the rates, facts or figures concerning the association, which compare favorably with similar concerns. In order that our many readers might see for themselves the thing that attracted our attention, we will be porded for reproducing it here: THIS IS HOW Their Way— Insurance Agent: "Sallie, Jane or Sarah, how much have you on your insurance this morning?" Why are you your door open without knocking? Why not remove your hat or your house? Why address me unlike you would a woman of ANY OTHER RACE? Our Way— Insurance Agent: (Knocks at door.) "Good morning, Mrs. Jones. Welcome morning, I canna to collect your dust, and by the way, I am spending an afternoon at your desk as tenniograph and as soon as Willie finished school I am sure we can place him, too." Insured: "Yes, I am to work very hard to educate my children, and am glad to see GUR men making a place for them so that they won't be forced to do the same work Bill and I have done." Insurance Agent: "Our institution is eleven years old, and I am going to give 179,000,000 for your diagnoise as tenniograph to 250 race men and women. And, too. Mrs Jones, we pay our death claims as soon as proofs are submitted." It would appear that any sensible person reading the above would readily read between the lines and employ a little horse gumption. The allusion to horse sense is due to the fact that the horse has a higher species of sense that a jackass does not possess, neither can he possess it. To employ a much-used and abused Latin phrase the above matter is multum in parve, and should open the eyes of the black man along this and other lines. Do you want agents and collectors of other races crossing the portals of your sacred home, without offending their hats or paying the proper respect to your wife and daughter? Do you want the female members of your family addressed as dumb women or as women? How long do you intend to fatten frogs for snakes? Name one insurance company of the other races that gives debt and represible employment to your sons and daughters! caut and respectable employment to your sons and daughters! Name those that give employment to colored men even as juniors! Why be so stupid and blind to your own best interests, as well as those of the race? This is no bootparty early for the A. M. B. A. (although it deserves the boosting possible), but is an expose, in which "their way" and "our way" are contrasted, not that we love the insurance companies of other races less, but because we love ours! There was a time when we were justified in giving our business to others, but that was before the advent of reputable and responsible enterprise enterprises which are forced to come up to the same requirements of those operated and manned by other racial units. We can never be a substantial and successful race as long as we build up concerns of other races to the detriment and exclusion of our own. From a civil viewpoint we must think more in terms of American citizen, and from a business point of view we must think more in terms of racial solidarity, co-operation, teamwork and group action. In short: race men, which do you prefer? Don't answer at once! time ago there was enacted a "move on" ordinance by the uncle of Houston, which had for its chief purpose and object walks. Occasionally the law is enforced, and with one or two exceptions there is hardly any necessity for its enforcement, for large crowds seldom block vehicle or pedestrian traffic unless something unusual or of an exciting nature occurs. But the officers of the law should enforce the "move on" ordinance in the 500 block on Milam Street, especially in front of the pool hall operated by Greeks for colored. It is next to impossible for a man, to say nothing of a woman, to wedge his way through these crowds of loafers and pool hall bullies, who make a mass formation and do not give a continental about any man, woman, or child; black, yellow or white. They are quite vociferous and seem to delight in employing "black guard" and pulling off other indecent and unbecoming stunts. All kinds of vile, profane, ugly and uncouth language is loudly uttered by these ruffians and a remonstration with them by one objecting to such deportment is calculated to result in serious trouble. They completely block pedestrian traffic and make that section of the street very unsafe for passersby. This conduct affects the adjacent businesses, for decent and respectable people are not overly anxious to come in contact with such hordes of parasites, vargants and social drongs. Another thing: The average white man judges our race by the pool hall, saloon and dive element; that gang of laugh, thriftless, indolent, trifling and good-for-nothing "sons of rest" and "conscientious consentibles" of work and honest toil; when as a matter of fact they do not any more represent the real colored race than a Texas jackass does a Kentucky horse. The reason for this conclusion, viewpoint and attitude, however, is apparent. The white man sees and comes in contact more with this bad element than with the good element and rates the race by the former, thus working a hardship and doing an injustice to the latter. The good colored people are against criminality and all breeders of same—wherever found and would like to see all such crime incubators suppressed and put out of commission forever. They are jubilant in that the open saloon has made its departure and sorry it stayed so long. Chief Baker should urge the patrolmen on the Milam Street beat to enforce the "move on" ordinance near the pool hall menace. We say menace advisedly, for any place that needs the services of an officer in it daily and not curiously to preserve and maintain order in the city, one a that, to society. Enforce the "move on" law on Milam Street! AWARDING THE SPINGARN MEDAL. AWARDING THE SPINGARN MEDAL. The Spingarn medal, awarded annually by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to the "man or woman of African descent, but of American citizenship, who made the highest achievement during the preceding year, in any field of elevated or honorable human endeavor," was awarded to Hon. Archibald H. Grimke, in Cleveland, Ohio, last week. In bestowing the honor upon Mr. Grimke, the Association announces that it was given for his "seventy years of distinguished service to his country and to his race, especially as president of the District of Columbia branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." Mr. Grimke is a distinguished and worthy citizen and no one particularly begrudges him the medal, but the selection has the earmarks of being unpopular. Without endowing to be selfish or personal, and with all due respect to the committee passing upon his merit, there is at least one particularly admirable member of the national meeting of the N. A. A. C. P.) that has done far more for the country and race during the past year than Mr. Grimke, and there is some keen disappointment that the honor was not conferred upon him. No one colored American has performed the task (and that so naturally admirably) equal to that of Dr. Emmett Jay Scott, who served disheartened with the national There is no denying the fact that Mr. Grimke has wrought well as head of the Washington branch of the N. A. A. C. P., but without trying to put the hammer into operation, it appears to the Informer that Dr. Emmett Jay Scott was the logical man for the Spingarn arm. Then the senior Dean, Lieutenant Colonel Duncan, and other military honors who were undoubtedly due bone some consideration, unless the association plans to make the awarding of the medal a family affair. The former awards were made to Harry Burleigh, Colonel Charles Young, Dr. E. E. Just and William Stanley Braithwaite and met popular approval. Can it be that the DuBois-Scott journalistic set-to had any effect upon the failure to award the medal to the latter? No, the failure to award the medal has not done a great work for the race and country, but because Dr. Scott has done a greater and more far-reaching work prompts The Informer's attitude on the awarding of the fifth Spingarn medal. CLEAN UP, SAN FELIPE JITNEY DRIVERS! For a long time the editor of The Informer has been noticing the physical appearance of the drivers of the San Felipa jitney line and had hoped that they would improve same without the necessity of calling attention to it through the columns of a newspaper. But since it appears that most of the drivers are satisfied with their unsightly and unbecoming appearance, The Informer here utters a protest and urges the men to clean up. There is an expression that "cleanliness is next to Godliness" and it is to be hoped that our drivers and operators of jitneys will put this preachment into practice. It is a reflection upon the race for these men to drive their cars in it, having the ragged shirts and jumpers, pieces of shoes and often half-clad. Not only does it show lack of respect for their patrons, most of whom are colored, but the line operates, in the main, on streets populated by white residents, and is calculated to meet a bitter protest in the near future. We were not interested for these men to continuously ride by these houses and pass other white cars in automobiles, attired as above enumerated, and then expect said people to not complain or enter a protest against such appearances. Some few weeks ago a news item appeared in The Informer relative to the jitney operators perfecting an organization and from this angle that they can begin work improving themselves by wearing clean clothes and stop riding over the streets in their cars like they are working on some far farm away from civilization. Our people are given too much to appearing on the streets clad in any shape, form or fashion. While clothes do not make the man, they are an important factor. We are not so expensive that clean clothes can not be secured and worn. In all frankness the way the greater number of San Felipe jitney operators are attired is a disgrace to the community and a reflection upon the colored race. Clean up, San Felipe jitney drivers! Clean up and stay clean! Have a Reason When You Soek Candidate. H. B. WASHINGTON. Just before the election of officers of Damascus Lodge No. 718, G. U. O. Noble Lodge No. 718, G. U. O. Noble Grand H. B. Washington addressed the lodge on the above subject as follows: The lodge should appoint a committee, whose duty shall be to prepare the ground for large membership by keeping their lodges in the public domain, to be present at time, by hospitably opening the doors to the public: plan that the lodge shall be no public-spirited as to the attendance recognition from the daily press. See that the lodge for whose fortunes you are responsible goes on in the public domain and be certain that when it does attempt a public function it puts its best security of new members is the equivalent of securing new trade in business; the lodge officers and committees appointed by them are the They pick up the salesman, award the prizes, map out campaigns, circulate the news, make and make public what they have to sell, i.e. membership in one of the best orders on earth, and why they have been the best, districta apportioned, proclaimed names and everything in order, and nine of ten apportioned will be brought in. Too much can not be said the benefit to be derived by the salesman, and nine of ten apportioned will be continued for continually the public.

Fort Worth district, with a population of approximately fifteen thousand race men and women has threatened to show a larger number of members than Houston District with a population at least forty thousand. Since majorities rule, it is possible for them, should their threat be made good, to have our home office moved to Fort Worth. Will Houston citizens allow Fort Worth to show more loyalty to the American Mutual Benefit Association than they who gave it birth?

"I believe Jimmy Collinn and the other pair of bands I ever saw." "I have never seen a man in the pitcher's box who squared Mathieu's arm in all-ground ability." "Roger Bremen was the greatest catcher I ever saw, al- ways." "I have never seen an out- door player who was Tris Speaker's superior." Rodie always appealed to me as the specked pitcher I ever saw." Former St. Louis Veteran is Vital Factor in Brooklyn. Manager Robinson Made No Mistake When He Picked First Backman to Fill in for the future of Jake Daubert. Jake Daubert, veteran first baseman of the Dodgers, may have been popular in his heyday in Flatbush, but it is unclear whether he will march that of Jacqueline if the Ed Konetchy. one-time Brave and Cardinal veteran continues to be the vital factor he is today in the Dodger drive. When Wilbert Robinson, desperate to need of a seasoned first baseman, met the Red Sox, he chutes that led to the minors, there were many who feared Wilbert had to play. But Robinson would come through and that it would be many a day before Brooklyn would unearth a first baseman who could uncover the pitcher's weakness. Ask any fan today, however, what he thinks of Koney and undoubtedly had filled Daubert's shoes more efficiently: that, in fact, he would prefer to have Koney on the Dodgers instead. But Robinson had his best, hitting all kinds of pitching and playing a bang-up game afield, whereas Jake has not yet had the good hand he got started properly with the Red Sox. JIM SHAW EQUALED RECORD Stummed Homers Off Pitchers Selboid and Kinney of Athletics in Successive Innings. When Jim Shaw of Washington, on May 2, slammed the homers off Selboid and Kinney of the Athletics, in succession, in a league record that has stood since June 30, 1921, for on this latter date, Ed Willett, the Tigers' star hurler of the 1921 season, played a single and a pair of round trips off Morgidge and Jordan, the White Sox hurlers. A delve through the National league for 15 years back shows a hurler that equaled this stunt. HOD ELLER IN FREAK GAMES THERE ARE STILL A FEW OF THE VETERAN SLUGGERS FACING BIG LEAGUE PITCHERS JANE DAUBERT BAM CRAWFORD "CACTUS" CRAWFORD WONELS WAGNER One by one the great sluggers who have blazed a trail of hits across the baseball horizon for the last ten or fifteen years, Hitters like Husker Wagner and Cam Srawford, for instance, are few and far between these days, but there are many major league pitchers today, and one of the most picturesque of the lot is "Cactus" Crawath. Crawath has been playing ball actively for sixteen years, and the ravages of time have long since begun to show, for Crawath's legs today resemble those of a child as they once did, and there are a few sprinkles of silver on his temples. Crawath 37 Years Old. Crawath Although Crawath is thirty-seven years old, he completed his thirty-seventh birthday last March—he still ranks as a demon at the bat. Taking a tooe and swinging from the hip is just as natural to Crawath as it is to Husker. He is not terribly tell you that his eye has not been nummed to any extent by the suns of 16 summers. Taking four hits out of five times in the past often accomplished in BASEBALL GAME PAYS Baseball proved a financial success at the University of Virginia, the past season, despite a loss in the fact that none of the big college teams of the East came South this spring. The financial report from N.C. State shows N. Green, shows a net profit for the entire season at $4,221.07. IS WINNING PITCHER AT 40 Joe McGinnity, Famous "Iron Man" of Glants, Will Play With Vancouver This Season. Although he has passed his fortieth milestone, Joe McGinnity is still pitching—and pitching winning ball at that. The once famous "Iron Man" of national league pennants and a world's championship for John Joseph McGraw and the Joe McGinnity. Giants, is now a member of the Yauconer club of the Pacific Coast International league. McGinnity has lost most of his speed DISLIKES 16-PLAYER LIMIT On Account of Numerous Injuries to Men on His Team Manager Herr Wants an Increase. Eddie Herr of the Salt Lake Bees is one manager who absolutely does not believe in the 16-player limit, his team during the past few weeks, and has been handicapped in that respect so badly that he is overexhausted to see an opponent in the first half. At present the Bees are in a rather crippled condition, and Eddie claims that, with the great attendance going out, the team will return to the fans for their generosity in turning out to the games. Eddie says that the league is drawing big enough crowds to lift the ban. Compulsions of Ball Covering Umpire Pearl Harrison of the National league complains that the covers on the balls are not good, and that the ball is not as tight as of roughing that makes them wingy. baseball, yet not by one player. Crawath, in his many years of slaughtering the offerings of pitcher, has registered his own success in the opening series between the Giants and Phillies he added another such performance to his long list, and two of the four hits he made in the second game against McGrawman were doubled. Ruth Is Hard Hitter. Babe Ruth is a tremendously-hard hitter, but can be as he is with the bludgeon, he will probably never be able to hit. He will be considered day-to-day and-and-out slugger Cravath has been, Cravath and Wagner were hitters of the Cravath type, or vice versa. Jake Wagner was also a hitter of this type select. It is a pleasure to pay tribute to a player like the "Old Cactus." His batting has been considered day-to-day the criticisms that have been shown on his head by writers during the last two or three years—kind criticism, sure enough—but the kind that carries the criticism that has been shown on his head by writers is through and Cravath isn't through yet. of former days, but his good control and deceptive underhandness in league batters. The "Iron Man" was one of the leading pitchers in the Pacific Coast international league last season. He and lost two for a percentage of 818. DIAMOND · NOTES · Baby Doll Jacobson of the Brownis is a real clean man this year. George Davis and Howard Ehmann are pitching great for the Tigre. Eppa Rixey, Jr., the tall left-handed player, expected to be mustered out of the service soon. Walter Golvin, Mobile first baseman, has reported to his club after service in Biberia, Russia. The Brownis have been called the "wonder team." Everybody is wondering where they will finish. Bill Schwartz, succeeding Arthur Devlin as manager of the Norfolk Tara, is getting a lot of praise. President John Powers of the Los Angeles club heads the agitation for raising the Coast league player, limit to 18 men. Young Bud Ammons, after winning a 16-inning game for Galveston with a timely hit, was given release, and thus retires in the final of glory. One of the real comebacks is Ed Sweney, the big catcher who is now the bulk of the work for the Pirates. Western league clubs by mail vote have decided to increase the player limit to 15 men instead of the 14 originally agreed upon. Elmer Fender, Pittsburgh pitcher, who has been an aviator in the army, returned from France last week and reported to Manager Borsak. Dick Durring continues on his way, Brooklyn sent him to Louisville. Louisville sent him to Toledo and now Toledo sent him to Waterbury. Mike Hullgren about made Mike Kelly's team when he sent Elmer Miller to play the outfield. Miller has been the hitting sensation of the associ . . . Birmingham critics are proclaiming Tom Stevenson, former Little Rock infielder who had the Harra, a best-seller than Kid Caton was at his best. Right Fielders' number of Houston will be known as the home run king of the Texas league. Putting the ball out of lot of is becoming a habit with him. George Sler the other day made one of the plays which made T. R. Cobb as a base runner, when he scored from second on an infield hit that won the winning run in the laxing infield.

The Thirteenth Commandment DAPHNE RESOLVES THAT SHE WILL NO LONGER BE DEPENDENT UPON ANY MAN. Syndopsis—Clay Wimburn, a young New Yorker on a visit to Cleveland most likely Wimburn Kip, whose brother is in the same office with Daphne. Wimburn is a graduate of her law school. Clay buys an engagement ring on credit and returns to New York. Daphne agrees to an early marriage, and after extracting from her money-worried father what she regards as a sufficient sum of money and the hope of getting married for her three-room. Daphne's brother, Bayard, has just married and left for Europe with his bride, Lella. Daphne and her mother install themselves in Bayard's flat. Bayard introduces Daphne and her mother to luxurious land and a new apartment. Bayard greatly attracted to her. Daphne accidentally discovers that Clay is penniless, except for his salary. Bayard and his wife return to New York unexpectedly. The three women out on a shopping excursion and a younger woman buy expenditures gowns, having them charged to Bayard. Lefla said nothing, but thought hard. Bayard was silent. Later the door-bell rang and a young sewing girl brought two big boxes from Duthlin's. They were so big that no concealing them. Lefla made a tinted *e*'tort to the door. Bayard was full of a cheerful curiosity; "What's all that, honey?" "Oh, it's just a—a little thing I picked up today at Dudith's." "What is it, a scarf or something? Give a fellow a look at it." "Sealed across the cord was an envelope, with a statement. Bayard tore it free, Lella matched at it. Bayard laughed and dodged her to the floor." "Got a tag for her, and Daphné and her mother looked on in gully dread. Bayard, wheoping with laughter, dushed into his room and Lella pounded and pleaded with him. His laughter was quenched sharply. There was a silence. He opened the door and saw his lips, the statement in his hand: "This can't be right, honey. Bayard Klip to Dudith, debtor. Pebch-blow sown gown, two hundred and seventy-one dollars, in coloured, and I have no account." "He—he insisted on my opening one." But I don't want to open any account. I pay my bills in thirty days or discount them for cash. I can't pay this in thirty days. Every penny I pay is worth $100." "I—I'm sorry. Lella faltered. You said the three were getting better." "I thought they were. I hoped they were. But they were gone had again. Behind them was a man sitting at the calamitous result of her tender impulse to beautify herself in his eyes. Then tears came gushing and she ran to her room and locked the door. He turned for comfort to his mother and Daphne. He noted the other box. Daphne had not dared to open it. Bayard ripened the envelope from its cover." "Rayard Kip to Dutth. Dr. Parchment-toned gown, for Miss Daphne Kip, two hundred and seventy-five dollars." He was parchment-told himself as he shook the statement at Daphne, and whispered, huskily, "What's this?" Daphne could not muster any course. She explained with craven reverence there, and I—I" He offered to let it on your account till I could get the money." Daphne was choked with wrath and a terror greater than hers. "I to go to my office and work like a send all day, and I come home to take me into debt for—five hundred and fifty dollars. And the firm, the big firm I work for, to extend a note to my boss, and to fifty because we couldn't meet it." His mother tried to stem the tide of Bayard's rage, to turn his writhing with an insistence. "I guess it all my fault, honey. The dresses looked so pretty on the girls I urged them to take them. You ought to see them. Go put down the dresses on. Daphne and I brother see how sweet you look in it." "Sweet! She looks sweet in it! It beautiful! And that justifies anything. You make me 'out of these women.'" Mrs. Klip kudged Daphne and whispered, "Go on, put on the dress; on the dresses. She spoke with great canniness, and Daphne stared at her with derision, and edged away and spoke in a tone that made me laugh. You on mother, on mother! Do you think I'd ever wear the thing? 'I'll send it back tomorrow morning at daylight and any man pays for as long as I live.' Bayard rudged at her over his shoulder: "You won't take anything that you may pass for, eh? What are you She answered him, grimly, "There are several million women in this country, and I am going to be one of them." His comment was a barking, "Iah!" He said he was a doctor, Bayard fungi himself into a chair and listened to the cauldron of his own hateful Grandma. Gradually he bounced to bravery. He could bear now the nuanced beat of Leila's sorrow. He resisted it for a while, and then at the cruelty of the world. Lela's salsa had stopped now and Bayard listened for them anxiously. She seemed to dread of grief. A mass seemed to shoulder it; it was dragging him to the door. I went there at hat, and listened. He a low hurling unwind, uncurdled appeal. He tapped on the door and called through it. He honey looted给我 me. I've seen the house it has—and a dozen like it. Please forgive me and me again. And I buy you anything you want. He slipped into your outside your door. Honey! Lela love!" The door opening, he slipped to take a look with his hand. A moment later the doorbell rang Daphne checked the mids whose hair had been fascinatingly entertained. He was the caller when Mr. Wimburn was in the hall. It was Wimburn and Daphne went out to him. He greeted the rest of a young Daphne in the room, then, pulling her engagement ring from her hand, placed it in his hand. "What—what's this, Daphne?" he turned. "I'm your ring. I'm giving it down." The engagement is off—infinitely!" "For heaven's sake, why? What!" "Nothing. Neither have I. But I'm going to do something." "What are you going to do, Daphne?" "I don't know—but something." "Just you know me any more?" "Just you know me any more." "And I will prove it too." "And I will prove it too." "Pove it by putting the ring back on." "Never! It snuck it back and save your time. That's what I want to do with what I bought. I kiss me good night and please." She left him outside and closed the door as lovingly as she could, and he alerted to come up and take him down he stared at the ring with sheep's eyes, tossed it and caught it awkwardly, and almost spoke his thought about. "Fungy thing. I haven't paid for it yet. Got an insulting letter from the jeweler, too, this very afternoon." But Daphne was thumping the telephone, she could find Tom Dumne's number. CHAPTER VIII. She failed to run Duane to earth in the telephone book. She was at a loss for another source of directions. She was at home to the kitchen and knew how to set out on such a pursuit. She went to her room, and found her mother there, thinly engaged in the work of the kitchen. She told him the dreadful news that the trousseau was to cost far more for far less. She was asking for extra money to buy the trousseau. She said "Rub it out and do it over, again. Mamma. There ain't goin' to be no trousseau. No wedding belts for me." She was at home to the kitchen and knew how to set out on such a pursuit. She Went to Her Room and Found Her Mother There. Daisy Encouraged in Writing a Letter to Her Father. out her denuded engagement finger in proof that she and Clay were detroffed. "Good gracious!" was Mrs. Klip's proline comment. "Why on earth did you do that?" "Because I'm too expensive for him." By RUPERT HUGHES "What are you going to do- go back to Cleveland and tell everybody that youre not going to get married, after that. No, I'm not going back to Cleveland, and I am going to get married but, later, much later." I hate conundrums, said Kip. Mr. Daphne, my assistant, answer for I wont guess. What are you going to do?" "I'm going to lead a hand," said Daphne. "Do my share. Get a job and earn my board and keep. I have gone crazy!" Mr. Kip exciled. "You get to bed and you'll feel better in the morning. I'll finish my letter." Daphne, a postscript as long as the letter, contradicting all she had just written and urging her husband to come East at once and take charge of his unruly behavior. She chute, and it fell into a bottomless pit, along with her other hopes. Daphne and her mother were uneasy at the prospect of the breakfast encounter that had been a sense of strain the first morning. But now a bit quarrel had intervened—that first ugly quarrel when the wedge of finance is driven Bayard and Leila, however, arrived at the table all smiles, more amorous at the table than at the smile, such as Dellah must have worn the second time she went out walking with her big beaul. at Mrs. Klip and Daphne that Leila had emerged from the quarrel with all the loot and aggravated power. she had taken advantage of her husband and Daphne that Leila generously recklessly, with no more evil motive, indeed, than the wish to beauty herself in his honor, and yet with recklessness. It was, not altogether Leila's fault if the lesson she learned, perhaps unconsciously, from the combat was unconscious. "I ran my husband into debt without consulting him. His listless love woke from its torpor and enchanted me. I was not in its energy. He stormed. I wept thrilling. He apologized, begged to be permitted to bring me some more nice things from its torpor, and I dull, I can always stir up the fire by buying something we can't afford. When I want anything I must get it. When I want anything I must get it treated with awe. If I hadn't bought it I wouldn't have had it, nor the bonus that goes with it. If we had not quarreled we should have missed the chance. This is one of the first lessons that certain sorts of husband teach to certain sorts of man of the house had departed for his office, and the waiter had carried off the breakfast relics, and the deferred wife, completely feminine conceive. They faced life like three Norms: the old mother, the new wife, and the deferred wife, each from her coign of disadvantage. The two married women turned on the maid, with common resentment. The wife, who had changed her, she had her independence. They were Tories and she a Whig. It was their privilege to rail at things as they were, and the wife was not changing them. Mrs. Kip senior spoke for Mrs. Kip junior. 'Now, Daphne, what is this the name of her about?' Daphne answered, stoutly: 'It's not foolishness. It is the first glimmer of sense I ever had. I am sick of the man, and I am not the same man, taking his charity or his extravagance. I've always been a drag on poor daddy, and I was getting ready to leave back. But I don't think a woman ought to be dependent on a man. I think she ought to bear her share of "As if she didn't," Mrs. Klip broke out. "As if the home wasn't just as much as labor as the office." She turned to the door. "For goodness sake, Daphne, don't ignore your head. Don't you imagine for a moment that a husband becomes the reason she earns wages. The harder you work for men, the better they like somebody else. The harder you work for someone else, you like you. Best of all, he loves the woman that tries to break him." Daphne's answer was a snappy: "I do not want to despise a man that felt that way." The three women wrangled with swise men and modern instances, and they laughed and session when the telephone ring. Lela answered it and her outcries of indignation alummed Mrs. Klip and Indigo. Bayard had called up to say that the luncheon party must be postponed. Outrageous business had made another meeting. Lela came from the telephone in a state of despair mitigated by the fact that Bayard had asked her to buy a car and buy and herself something worth while as an atonement for his abandonment. "To forth again on another against the ramparts of beauty, To the silent horror of Daphne and her mother, Lelia was persuaded to buy a new coat and a new hat and to pay for them by the convenience of a coupon. She was given a question of two soup salemes. Beyard's surrever after his first battle had already accomplished the expectable result. She was the very inward thing and pet was marked down. But Beyard priced things down with a new coat. Perhaps There is No Form That Satan Take Women Than That of a Fash- ionable Gown had another attack of eccentricity; a stubborn determination to go home and send back to Duluth the wicked that she had bought of him on credit. She had left the house without returning it and she was afraid that someone offender than that of fashenable women had layed. Fortunately there had been no alterations in the gown. Perhaps there is no form that satan offender than that of fashenable women had women the conquest of the world. But Daphese lifted him and said to Lelia: "Get the beehind me, satan. I am groaning. I will not give Bayard credit for it. I won't look at another gown, till I can pay for it out of my own earnings. I will not get Bayard credit for it. I won't look at another woman myself. I've decided that an independent woman must buy her own trouser." Even in the eyes of ambition this woman would be a fairy long period—a period so lengthy that she wondered if Clay's love would outlast it. She did love him and the thought of losing him alarmed her more than the thought of losing the precious gown. Lela woke from her meditation with a sudden "Come along; we must dress for it." Mrs. Kip, senor, anmused the young Kips by thinking about: "I wonder if that nice Mr. Duane will be at the door." "Oh shi'笑 shame!" crel Della. "It's a regular intrigue. No, he won't be. There telephone him at the Racetown. He'll come to you. He's usually there." She did not see the start the artists hint gave Daphne, who had learned by accident what she had not known how to do. She was called the coached her agitation in the brightness with which she concluded the affair of the Dutigh gown. She folded it up and she kissed it and died. Baby she was about to leave on a doorstep. She kissed it good-by and put the lid over it and died it up with a crazy combination of strings of various colors. She refused to go to the tea party, now that the gown was lost, and she said she letters to write. She sent her letters to Della had left her she wrote only one letter—a note of regretful rejection to Dutigh. She pinned it to the box and sent it to Mr. Duane. Then she tele-changed to Tom Duane. She did not quite realize the temerity of calling a man at his club, and the insistence of her husband put her innocence to its opposite. He remembered her as a pretty thing. If she were brazen—well, he liked brazen in certain forms. When she said that she was going to be a brunette at his convenience, he made it the immediate moment at the cost of breaking an engagement at tennis. She had been his someone for tea, but she said that she preferred to see him at his brother's apartment. His invitation around her submission. Her invitation around his submission. Duphine's heart was beating exculcated. Copyright by Harper & Brothers ly white she waited for him and she began to feel that she had put herself around to feel that Dumne arrived and the mail showed that Dumne arrived and the living room Daphnie tried to redeem herself by a business directive toward Mr. Dumne, you must think it very peculiar of me to drag you up here. "I think it's mighty kind of you." "I'm going to ask you. I'm going to ask you to do me a tremendous favor," he said. Then she amazed him with her request. "You offered yesterday—of you offered yesterday—of you offered to get me a job with a theatrical manager." Dumne's hospitable smile hardened his name. "Well, well, not you" "Oh, yes." "You know Mr. Raven—or whatever his name—well, yes—you know him fairly well." "Would you want to go on the job, yes—yes, I know him fairly well." "Would you dare introduce me to Mr. Reben?" "Do you think he will give me a job?" "I will make him." "I will ever renew you." Her hand went out to him and he took it and squeezed it, and it squeezed back gracefully. But he did not let go. Dumne seemed to be exasperated. Daphne drew her hand back, but his came with it, and he followed close upon. There was a look in his eyes that made her uneasy. His voice was murmured and said: "You can repay me easily enough if you want to." "I do. But how? How?" she asked anxiously, not quite daring to wrench her hand free. "By being—by being kind to me." "Kind? How?" He did not answer with words, but he lifted her hand with both of his hands, and she should bend the gantled arm that could hardly be resented. But, manlike, having made a formal surrender, he tried to command. One hand held her, the other resting on her shoulder and pressed her against him, without roughness yet with strength. His lips moved now, not toward her hand, but toward the sacrecerde of her mouth. The future seems bright to Dana, and she believes in the opportunity to realize her ambition. So few difficulties are in the way at the beginning that she cannot see that may loom up in the future. (TO BE CONTINUED.)

Impress Left by Romane The old Romans and still older Celtes have left their traces thickly strewn in the place-names of the country through which the vicious aliens have conquered the part of the war. Valenciennes was named after the Roman emperor, Valentinian, just as Orléans was named after the French king, Louis the Celt is seen in the dun, or fortress, of the ever-famous Verdan, and, though now contracted out of existence, the stronghold of the Meringuians. The River Menea, perhaps the river most connected with war, has the most extensive Celtic for the River of Meadow.
