Houston Informer

HONORABLE MARTIN B. MADDEN SPEAKS ON PROPAGANDA TO DISCREDIT NEGRO TROOPS Washington, D. C.—Recently in the U. S. house of representatives, Honorable Martin B. Madden of Illinois spoke with particular reference to certain statements which have been made derogatory to the services of colored troops abroad. Mr. Madden, through a sense of fair-play, insisted that certain correspondence he had received from Dr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary-treasurer Howard University, together with other letters and newspaper reports which clearly and definitely controverted the charkes made against colored troops should be entered in the Congressional Record as an offset to the propaganda which has been under way for some months to discredit not only the record of colored American troops abroad but the record of French colonial troops in the occupied area as well. TIMKHAM OF MASSACHUSETTS OFFERS RESOLUTION IN HOUSE TO INVESTIGATE SUFFRAGE 7c PER COPY EVERYWHERE VOL. III. HONORABLE MARTIN SPEAKS ON PID DISCREDENT Special to The Informer. Washington, D. C.—Recently tives, Honorable Martin B. Madjar reference to certain statement to the services of colored troops to the services of fair-play, insisted the received from Dr. Emmett J. S. University, together with other which clearly and definitely coagainst colored troops should be ord as an offset to the propaganda months to discredit not on troops abroad but the record of the pied area as well. Dr. Scott assembled a formidable array of documents to controvert this German propaganda in America, including a letter written by Ambassador Joris丧斯丹 of the French republic to Mr. Henry E. Baker of the Howard Park Citizens' Association, Washington, D. C., in which M. Jusserand here formulated his mind and persistently spread by German propaganda against our colored troops are absolutely unfounded; that their behavior does not justify in the least the scurrilous accusations freely launch against them in sheets sent here in numerous quantities, for distribution all over the country, he correspondence also contained clippings from the New York Times, the Washington Post, Associated Press dispatches, and correspondence between Senator Seldon P. Spencer of Miss and former Secretary of State Colby. "Under all the circumstances," Dr. Scott said in his letter to Congressman Madden, "it must be clearly evident that a grave injustice has been done these French troops, who fought so bravely against the Teutonic eagle. TIMKHAM OF MASS OFFERS RESOLT TO INVES (By the Associated Negro Press.) Washington, D. C.—The most remarkable parliamentary discussion in the present congress, and which, by the way, was barely touched upon by the daily press, took place in the house of representatives Friday, May 6. The discussion was precipitated by Representative Tinkham of Massachusetts, who rose to "offer a resolution on a question of high personal privilege." When it was discovered by the republican floor leader, Conway was all about, together with a number of other leaders, various objects and points of order were offered. In brief, the resolution was on the enforcement of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution. After reciting the various amendments, voting, in certain sections of the United States, the committee on census is authorized to proceed forthwith to make diligent inquiry respecting the extent to which the right to vote is denied or abridged to citizens of the United States in any state in viola the constitution of the United States. Representative Tinkham was compelled to confine his utterances to the point of order, to wilt: that the resolution "is not privileged under the rules and not privileged under the constitution, and does not present a question of privilege before the house." He was raised by Floor Leader Mondel After long and, in one or two instances, acrimonious debate, the speaker ruled, sozing into detail on the subject, sustaining the point. Immediately Representative Tinkham respectfully appealed from the decision of the chair, following which Mr. Mondell sought to have the motion laid on the table, but upon the personal request of Speaker Gillett, the vote was taken It resulted in the vote being sustain THE HOUSTON INFORMER mies during the world conflict. Their services were then regarded at face value. They helped to save the precious jewel of liberty for all the world. They proved to be troops not afraid of German military veterans. It seems particularly malignant under the circumstances not to have in the Congressional Record the above statements, which correct the very unfair—to use no more vigorous language—propaganda which has been circumfaced against them in the country. I refer to the matter as a colored American, because propaganda reflections of the same character were quite generally circulated about colored American troops who served in France. The libels in that case were finally and effected, disposed of, and have been in the case mentioned above. "Congressman Madden has again won the whole-souled approval of colored Americans for his courageous action in combating prejudice against colored troops. His remarks have been reprinted in pamphlet form and are being very widely distributed. ASACHUSETIS AUTION IN HOUSE STIGATE SUFFRAGE ed, years 284, nays 47, not voting 98. "A Matter of Record." How the votes went on this matter is now a matter of official record, and makes interesting reading. While representative Mondell assured Mr. Tinkham that there was ample means, under the rules, to introduce the resolution, and have it come up in the proper way, Mr. Tinkham rejoined that he introduced it during the last congress, and then directed the door to look at it. And that is the rux of the whole subject. Representative Tinkham has sought by every manner and means to bring to the attention of the republic, through congress, the manner in which citizens are disfranchised, and congress has wilfully blocked every effort. The facts are clear: Congress, republic or democratic, does not propose to tackle the subject of disfranchisement, and if it is brought close to the front, it will be blocked at every stage of the game. This is cold-blooded truth, and facing the issue. Representative Tinkham informed the Associated Negro Press his plan to bring the subject before congress, and he declares that he is not yet through with the investigation, will command an investigation, just as it is now with peonage. PERRY W. HOWARD RECEIVES APPOINTMENT Washington, D. C.—The attorney general's office has announced the appointment of Perry W. Howard of Jackson, Miss., as special assistant attorney general of the United States. Attorney Howard's friends feel that the appointment to the most important post yet announced, is a just reward for his sterling work during the campaign. The position carries a salary of $5000. HOUSTON, TEXAS, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921. Our Second Milestone Attained MR. NAHUM DANIEL BRASHER EDITOR ASSOCIATED PRESS DELIVERS INTERESTING ADDRESS This issue makes the attainment of the Houston Informer's second milestone in its journalistic career and despite its brief sojourn in the field of journalism, this paper has weathered many storms and encountered numerous snags, at the same time eluding not a few pitfalls and snares. As our journalistic barque shall set sail upon seas of journalism for another year, it faces the future undismayed, undaunted and not the least discouraged. Plots, intrigues and the machinations of designing foes and bitter enemies have all come to naught and the old ship has sailed on, "trimming no sail to catch the passing breeze," neither "flying any doubtful flag." The Informer has pleaded for and been largely instrumental in securing better drainage, streets and sanitary conditions in colored residential districts. Its pitiless publicity and pictorial expose of the horrible condition and shape of streets in colored residential sections prompted the city officials to visit these sections and personally investigate conditions; later resulting in the graveling and proposed graveling of several streets in sections occupied by our racial group. The Informer has persistently and consistently opposed and denounced all types of lawlessness, and, while reportorially it has, as a matter of news, given publicity to some rather distasteful news stories, editorially The Informer has condemned all organizations and practices that are fundamentally at variance with the time-honored principles, tenets and preachments of Americanism and democracy. During the two years of its existence, The Informer has been a vitriolic and bitter opponent to all forces and practices that tend to degrade, debase and destroy mankind, but a most virile and vigorous proponent of Special to The Informer: Washington, D. C. A—most interesting address was made to the students of Howard University Friday evening, May 6, 1921, at the Rankin Memorial Memorial Chapel, by Mr. Nahum Daniel Chasper, editor in chief of the Associated Reading and Jastice, at the open campus of the campaign to promote the reading of Negro history and literature be conducted by the Omega Phi Fraternity. The value of reading Negro history and literature as found in the Negro magazines and newspapers of A. F. & A. M. AFFAIRS BY DR. T. J. BROWN A. F. & A. M. AFFAIRS BY DR. T. J. BROWN We wish to serre notice to all that the statement you read in The Inform er April 16 is absolutely false, with all movements and factors that mean for racial uplift, more amicable inter-racial relations, and for rendering Houston the greatest city in this State. Perhaps The Informer's most marked accomplished during its biennial career has been the awakened consciousness of the colored race here and the creation of a desire within the breasts of these dark-skinned Americans to "carry on" and thereby "get somewhere." It is needless to chronicle or attempt to recapitulate the various results accomplished by The Informer during its short existence; suffice it to say that trees are known by the fruit they bear. The Informer has contended for the doctrine of the "fatherhood of God and brotherhood of man" to become workable and practical and leave the realm of theory; it has been a strong espouser of the democratic principle of "all men up, no man down"; and is thoroughly American and believes that if America is to play her part further in "making the world safe for democracy," the American heart must undergo a great transformation and reformation. The Informer has carried more advertising, both local and foreign, than any three papers of the race combined in South Texas, which speaks volumes for its ability as an advertising medium. The future policy of The Informer will be for the best interests of its clientele and to this end the hearty support of our people is desired. In this retrospective view The Informer desires to express its gratitude to those friends, both subscribers and advertisers, who have contributed towards its success and at the same time it asks for an increased amount of support and patronage during the coming years, which will be necessary to keep The Informer the "South's greatest weekly newspaper." the country was most effectively brought to the attention of the students of Howard. Mr. Brascher told of the many attempts, through the holding of conferences of white and black students, to dismantle done the Negro in the publication of news material. His story of the service the Negro press has rendered towards the building of greater race consciousness brought the students to the realization of the need of reading race books, magazines and newspaper. Mr. Brascher is an interesting speaker and pleased the large audience assembled to hear him. no legal foundation to it. That is the way C. L. Mitchell has in trying to shatter the lodges of the district, that he might turn them from the district. C. L. Mitchell is not the grand master of the M. W. King Solomon Grand Lodge. Out of 42 lodges in the grand sitting of Dec. 27, 1819, three lodges voted for C. L. Mitchell; by a majority vote of 39 lodges N. N. Boozer was declared grand master. We want the public to know that C. L. Mitchell and the court of San An AMERICAN JAZZ DEFEAT GERMANS (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, IL—It has been discovered that the rythmic distortions of "Jazz Music" incompetence the defeat of the German forces in the late war. "Jazz" nerves the nerve centers of the hub of the city, and the German forces have a condition of pandemoniosychosis—or something of that sort—and, press! to the German hodes melted into thinness before the terrific dissonances of Jim Europe's "Jazz" shouts and there was nothing left William II to do but take to the woods. This all right when it was right to the smashing of the Hindeburg line. But, devil take the fakes though Jim Europe is dead his spirit goes on, threatening to smash the bone-lead lines of "white supremacy" and the blood of dyspepties to the absolute littleness of incessous desutse. This was too, too much! Hence, the marvelous dispensations of science have been requalified and compelled to determine that "Jazz" is a heifalo of the blood and thus produces a situation of psychosis fatal to the maintenance of that exalted poise which has characterized the historical course of the white race advenues the ages to its present proud position of arbiter and the destinies of the families. Dr. John Dill Robertson—than whaen there is no greater record in the sacred annals of the medical profession—has decreed that "Jazz" is all wrong. It is all wrong for the aforementioned reasons. This ought to take it to "Jazz." The white people from going to him. And thus democracy speeds forward and sideways through a worldOWERed with denseness, and enabled in ignorance, vanity and the vision of the bird who buries his head in the sand. At least this is the conclusion reached by a colleague who cared a continent of Jazz" and it lies in a musician and lives in Chicago. BRENHAM independence Baptist Sunday school held their picnic on Friday the 12th under the direction of the superintendent, Joliette McGregor, who was had by all, refreshments be served after a delightful trip to the country. In the evening a concert was held for the benefit of the Sunday school, under the direction of Miss Loma Shirley, the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Ellen McGregor, during her convalescence from a recent illness. Miss Hatto Hubert is reported much improved this week. The residence of the superintendent, Kaitlin, has been joined and when completed will be a credit to the community. Mrs. H.

Michel did not say that he was invited for 99 years from the United Supreme Council of Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite Masons and affiliated bodies in America June 25, 1920. There are red propagandists who are sending the clippings of the Informer of April 16 to the United Supreme Council of the federated Masons—a class of Masons that are founded by an expelled white man of the mother lodge of Scotland, England, for colored people only.

CALVIN COOLIDGE SPEAKS FOR ADMINISTRATION; STANDS BY ATLANTA SPEECH OVER A MILLION APPROPRIATED BY STATE OF WEST VIRGINIA FOR NEGRO INSTITUTIONS HON. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON WILL FILL FEDERAL JOBS IN STATE OF OLD GEORGIA (By the Associated Negro Press). Washington, D. C.-Vice President Calvin Coolidge, in an exclusive interview, for the associated Negro Press-doculated his interest in seeing a fair adjustment of the Federalized National Guard order of former Secretary of War Baker, which is now before Secretary of War Weeks for consideration. Vice President Coolidge pointed to the manner in which Massachusetts dealt with the problem while he was governor. The soldiers were organized, and as governor, Mr. Coolidge promised that the state would stand behind the guards as long as the governor was present. In the course of the interview the assurance was given that it is the purpose of the present administration to be fair and just with all, that from time to time there will be developments in demonstrations of justice that will prove to the people the意义 of purpose of the administration. That "Atlanta Speech." The Associated Negro Press representative discussed with the vice president his speech in Atlanta, which caused such a round of criticism and protest. It was pointed out that the people of the city had greatly had been greatly impressed with his many stands for justice during the police strike in Boston, and were highly pleased with his fine patriotic expressions in the course of his speech of acceptance; however, it was feared the list under the spell of southern entertainment, had changed his viewpoint. OVER A MILLION BY STATE OF FOR NEV (By the Associated Negro Press) Charleston, W. Va.—Over a million dollars, or, to be exact, $1,206,216.46, was the total of the appropriations made by the West Virginia legislature, before it adjournment last week, for the creation and support during the war, and for the next of Negro agencies and institutions, educational, elemenary and correct. Of this amount approximately one-third goes to the West Virginia College Institute, which receives for salaries, buildings andcurriculum. The other two-thirds are for the same purpose the Bluefield HON. HENRY LINCOLN WILL FILL FE IN STATE (By the Associated Negro Press.) Atlanta, GA.—By order of the Harding administration promulgation by the postoffice department, all eligibles for appointment to postmasterships in Georgia and all eligibles for appointment to rural mail carrier positions in Georgia, these constituting the bulk of the federal patronage in that and all other states of the union, will in the future be referred directly and prominently to the prime Council of A. P. and A. M. Scottish Rite Masons, our grand lodge for the next fifty years shall be known as the United M. W. Kinc Solomon Grand Lodge, thereby putting the fili on C. L. Mitchell and his "reds" for two and two years in the A. P. and A. M. in Texas. Respectfully admitted. (Signed) DR. T. J. BROWN 32' H. H. MAXN 32' W. V. ELLIS 32' L. YOUNG. Directors. Directors. 7c PER COPY EVERYWHERE NO.1. N COOLIDGE ADMINISTRATION; ATLANTA SPEECH NO.1. Without hesitation, the vice president declared that his viewpoint had not been changed, and that he is just as anxious now, as ever, to be fair to all, and to see that all get a square deal. He regretted the protests of the Atlanta speech, but he did not offer an apology for it, he stated that the only wise course to pursue is for the people of both races who live in the South to assume a friendly attitude toward each other. The Record of Soldiers. "The record of the colored soldiers in the World War will ever remain a lasting monument to their unselfish patriotism, and will not be forgotten. There in the affair of the country, it is nothing anywhere to excel it, and will never be forgotten. They must be justly considered. It is remarkable that the records show that while certain wealthy whites were fleeing from military service, I know of only one colored person who attempted to be a slacker, and I am not so sure about that." It seems to be the design of Vice President Coolidge to have justice administered by example rather than by precept. He seems to be of the opinion that one unstanding act of justice will go farther towards helping the cause of racial adjustment than many discourses. That Mr. Coolidge desires the good will of his fellow citizens everywhere, there seems to be no doubt. As a team-mate of President Harding, the vice president seems splendidly adapted. APPROPRIATED WEST VIRGINIA GRO INSTITUTIONS Colored Institute has placed to its credit $133,644, and Storer College, a private school, $6000. The newly created institutions fared equally as well, the hospital for inane getting $150,000 for buildings and land and $30,000 for current general expenses. The industrial school for boys was allowed $150,000 for buildings and land, and a similar home for girls, $0,000. Including the insurance derived from the burning of the Colored Orphans' Home, this institution is to receive for rebuilding $126,000, the tuberculosis sanitarium $25,000, and the deaf and blind school $30,000. ONLN JOHNSON FEDERAL JOBS E OF OLD GEORGIA only to Henry Lincoln Johnson, the Negro republican national committee-man from that state. While the order has not yet been issued as to gin inspectors, whose appointments are made through the department of commerce, it is understated that they will take the same course. The police settle definitively the policy of the administration as to the minor appointments in Georgia. PORT ARTHUR The C. M. E.

Rev Sanders of Beaumont and the district presiding elder were in town this week. The A. M. E. Church has moved its building preparatory to erecting a new edifice.

COMMENCEMENT TIME ARRIVES. Quite a number of our colored institutions of learning will award diplomas and degrees to hundreds, perhaps, thousands of colored youths during this and next month; while at the same time several white schools in the North, East and West will have quite a few colored graduates. These graduations are both commendable and encouraging, at the same time bespesting progress and enlightenment. But (and here is the serious situation) where will they brainy and highly developed young people find employment and or withal shall they find something to do commensurate and in keeping with their ability? They have been going through a grind for years preparatory to their life work and yet the race has made practically no places for them. It is pure and rank extravagance to lavish money upon our children's education and then refuse to spend or invest one red penny in enterprises and institutions to afford these same intelligent and trained young people a chance to make good and enrich society. Unless, as a race, we are going to make places for our own children, it is foolish and nonsensical to continue to educate them. No real man sits down and expects another man to provide for and look after his family and where such a situation does exist somebody pays the price and it generally smacks of the indecent and intemperate. No man who loves his family will sit supinely by and permit others to tie him hard and fast by making it possible for his wife and children to subsist at the expense of other men. And yet many men in our race will sit by and see their daughters sell their virtue to men of all races and see their sons go to the dogs, even after the parents have spent large sums to educate them, rather than form combines and corporations and open up establishments to give their own blood something decent and lucrative to do. It is all right to complain about the race's sad plight in certain parts of this country, but the colored race's condition in America will be altered for better or for worse by the attitude and action of the race itself. Regeneration comes from within and not from without. In a like manner racial progress, betterment, uplift, advancement and solidarity must come from within our racial contingent. No Unseen Power rains down manna from the skies any more and those who wait and wonder in the wilderness of Do Nothing will sturge to death if they expect to see this bit of sacred history repeat itself. It is either do or die, construct or cry. The Informer really regrets to see the commencement period arrive; not because it opposes education, but because we make no preparations to materially aid those who are fortunate enough to taste of the Pierian spring and who emerge into the world ready and prepared to contribute something worth while to the summum totum of human achievement, but who are denied the chance because of the failure of their own race to provide the opportunities. This paper has no patience with some loud-mouthed son of Ham, who is always lambasting educated colored youths and decrying and proclaiming to the world that the "educated Negro" is a failure and such rot. The Informer has utter contempt and contumely for those colored parents who often exclaim: "Let my child make it like I did." They must bear in mind that if many of them had to live life over equipped mentally and financially now as they were in the earlier days of their careers, they would fall by the wayside and the procession would leave them far in the rear. We are living in a progressive age and men cannot be in this age and not of this age. The Bible declares, in substance, that he who fails to provide for his household is worse than an infidel, and yet how many among our culture who are able to do so, refuse to do their part even if they can it possible for their own offspring in any shape, form or fashion? If we would emulate the finer traits and nobler characteristics of the more successful races of mankind rather than the superficial and showy, our progress would be more marked, prejudice would be tremendously diminished and we would develop a consciousness and a co-operative spirit that would startle and conquer the civilized. Let us stop handicapping our children unnecessarily; for diplomas and degrees mean practically nothing unless the recipients are given a chance to deliver the goods. Commencements will mean little to our race, unless we adopt a new policy of construction and co-operation rather than one of criticism and censure. The word "commencement" does not mean orations, diplomas, degrees, applause, et cetera, but it means the genesis of the worldly career of the graduates, who have toiled, tugged and labored in order to fit themselves to become a blessing to their race and humanity. "He who would be free himself must strike the first blow." THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 AN OASIS IN THE PARCHING DESERT. AN OASIS IN THE PARCHING DESERT. The creation of inter-racial commissions in various sections of the South is a belated step in the right direction and augurs much for the future relations between the white and colored races in Dixie. When Southern white men are willing to breast criticism and pioneer a movement, despite the fact that it means a more harmonious relation inter-racially in this section, it really comes as an oasis in the parching and desolate desert and will be heartily welcomed and enthusiastically supported by members of both races who believe in justice and fair play for all men. One Southern white university has established a chair of "race relations," which is being occupied by a former Houstonian, Dr. Leavell, and already several Southern cities are giving the movement a trial. If results already accomplished are to be taken as a barometer or indicator of this commission's possibilities, a better day's advent will be accelerated in this part of the moral vineyard. Conditions have reached a state in the South where the best people of both races must act and quickly and effectively if untoward trouble and inter-racial clashes are to be averted. To admit that conditions cannot be improved nor rendered and maintained better in the South, is an admission that the proud Anglo-Saxon civilization and our reputed Christianity both have run the gamut and are ready for the junkle. The Informer, while it realizes the grave dangers lurking in the South in its old and new type of lawlessness, is firm in its belief that wrong cannot forever hold right under subjugation; but the wrongs should be righted largely, if not wholly, by the best citizens of the South. Pains should and must be taken to place men and women on these commissions who possess backbone and who can discuss matters and arrive at conclusions without bias, hauteur or prejudice. It might interest local people to know that such a movement has been launched in Houston and if the outlined program is executed, a better day is dawning for our erstwhile "heavenly Houston." Let us as a people, individually and collectively, not become pessimistic nor resort to force and violence, except in case of self-defense, which is the unwritten law of the land. The time has arrived for tactful action, when discretion becomes the better part of valor. The task of enforcing law and order does not rest upon our shoulders; but we can do our part to minimize any lawless acts among our own group. When the Houston inter-racial commission gets under way, all real grievances, not imaginary and fictitious ones, will be thrashed out by the commission, and The Informer hopes that this commission will get busy at once, for God knows their services are certainly needed in this community right now. This idea or movement is one ray of hope for those of our race who are somewhat disgusted and exasperated with present conditions and if it functions properly, it is destined to become a constructive factor in the South's peace, progress and perpetuity.

Richardson's Sacrifice All through the hot foreground Lieutenant Richards had fought like a leader of heroes, braving death a dozen times from the spitfireful Pilot Fletcher, yet, though man after man had fallen in the thinning ranks, he was unsuccesful. And the more he sought, the more he had fallen. With a more harmful of the seventy-nine who had been cut off from the main forces by the cunningly contrived amuseous, Richards had failed to survive. Smooth, isolated hills that emerge here and there in the northern region of Luzon. There, hard pressed, the pressured, the squashed, the squashed, holding their own power, the enemy's marksmine, waiting for the arrival of the relief column from Santa Catalina. It was strange how it seemed that the blistering sunlight, his mind went traveling back to other scenes, other days—to that last day in Washington before he sailed away. The cool afternoon with Lucy Greaves on the porch of the club house, Lucy was an old sweetheart of his boyhood. And he had asked to be his wife, to wait for him. Then Lucy, whom he had never seen discomposed, broke down and sobbed in his arms. She was engaged to her, but she was not longer. But the traditions of her family forbade her to break with him. She did not tell him the name. But the tradition that it was some officer he knew. The memories vanished with the sudden cessation of the bliss above her. She was not ment. The enemy was preparing to charge. They came upward, and, finding that the defenders made no rejoy, swooped in with a zest, finged at the enemy, and backed the light of the declining sun. Next moment it was hand to hand. For a full minute—hours, it seemed—he was still standing, and attackers were sulently retiring and the besieged drew a little closer together. Richarda stopped and raised a man at his side. He knew him—Sergeant Hutton, one of the recruits. "Sergent, I'm going to put you behind this rock," said the lieutenant. He was still standing. He opened the blood-stained tunic and disclosed a little gold of token. "Open it," he whispered. Richards obeyed him. He looked upon the face of Lucy Greaves. "She gave it to me," the sergeant dispersed. "We were to have been made aware of the postponed at the last moment, till I came back. If I die you carry my love to her. I said, 'be said,' but 'But you pull through Sergeant. Now we still behind this rock and wait till the relief arrives. I will burst forth from beneath the hill, re-echoed from 500 throats. The Filipines were charging again. And this time they charged home. Surely they were charged. Clear notes of a bugle rang through the air. Then, over the stiffness of the afternoon came the faint sound of a gun. "Now, men," Lieut. Richardson shouted, "of each you take a wounded man on his back. I'll stay here and cover you until you reach the road." And, stepping behind the rock, he seized the rite of the wounded sergeant, and, then, catching up the bullets into the ranks of the enemy, and then, catching up the wounded sergeant, crept down the bill. It was a whole minute before the natives pulled through, Sergeant! he shouted cheerly to the man on his back, and stumbled onward. A yell from the natives volleyed. Then sneeze. A red-hot wire seemed to be pressing against the lieutenant's arm, and, looking down Richardson saw that the pale yellow of the wire volleyed. Then sneeze. That one nipped him across the check. Gradually a delirium took possession of him. The sky, the earth seemed to be in Washington again, seated at Lucy's side, under the oaks. Only the thought of her sustained him for a few hours more. Then, quite suddenly he and he reed and he fowled.辽. Lucy's face was shining out of the blackness of night. Her 1-1 wish you all happiness, Sergeant!" he muttered. Out of the profanity he brought to a region peopled by specters to consciousness of his surroundings white linen suit was bending over him. He be said "you're doing so nowly will. We have you in short order, Captain. "Captain? I=1 Ab. you never seen the Gantet. Ab. your special order of the Preset. And they're talking about the congressional medal for you.

SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER SPORT POTPOURRI BUFF-PANTHER SERIES DRAW WELL At the hot the Bufs pasted the oleet pallet but those Panthers had their own field of action in national fielding, Lizgins carrying off the honors. Hayes played a fair game for the Panthers while Jackman hurried nice ball for the Bufs, but his support was not there. He also pealed off three of his shots, and the Bufs cured a similar amount, two of his swats being triples. He scored three of Houston's four tallies. He scored "Slugger" Hines slammed one up against the deep center field fence for three sacks, Monday the tables were reversed, the Bufs overwhelming the Panthers by a looped score of 12 to 2 in a 10-9 victory. The Pryor and Hines and "Buck" Alexander's hurting. The Bufs with the bases drunk permitted the Bufs to assume the lead and then to clinch the game and name it in the finals of one of Pitchcher Ligatts shoots on the nose and lifted it over the right field fence while the bases were intoxicated, four scores being replayed. The Bufs were connecting with the old apple with such painful regularity that the Bufs were cool water to prevent a hot box developing on their ankles, and they were indied glaua when a termination was made. This game registered the largest week-day crowd of the season and by the Burfs winning they all departed the field with their "itches" on the Panthers. Tuesday the final game of the series was played, Fort Worth winning 8 to 1. It was simply a case of too much "Black Tank," who beaten pitching a four-hit game by four out of four, scoring each time. The Panthers did some sensational fielding, while Danage and Curtis starred in the field for the Burfs. "Buck" Alexander tried an iron man dunk, but the Panthers did not; but his offerings were easily solved by the Panthers and Evans hurled the last two innings. Fort Worth simply outplayed the Bufs, who all played well, were witnessed by a large crowd. Name of Norman Origin. Those who bear the name Fork should not jump to the conclusion that the word has anything to do with the name Fork, or that it is of a given name (now obsolete) which was spelled Fulque or Falke. It was as common then as Tom or William or John, but it was not found. It very difficult to pronounce and gradually the name came to be known as Fox, in which form it still survives. Variations are Fox, Faxon, Foxx, Foxxon, Foxxon. Social Pleasures Pleasure is one of the great blessings of human life, both for its own sake and for its direct influence on others. It is the power of contempt or indifference, but thankful recognition. It is not pleasure, but something evil that may sometimes be unpleasant. It is not out from our lives; and if sociability had no other claim than the simple and innocent happiness it creates, it would still demand a high place in our lives.

Hawaiian Race Being Reborn Getting Ready for Bombing Tests The officers and men at the U.

KOREANS REFUSE TO MIX Analysis of 14,559 Marriages in the Islands Reveals Some Surprises to Science—Japanese Not Most Prolific Race on Island. Honolulu, T. H. The Hawaiian race, which with the Polynesians in general, has been regarded as a dying people, is being reborn and rebuilding according to statistics just compiled by Louis R. Sullivan of the New York Museum of Natural History now attached to the Bishop museum in Honolulu. Mr. Sullivan has just completed analysis of 14,559 marriages in the islands, selected at random, and his findings in some cases have been surreal. According to the tables, more American men in the territory marry women of African descent, more American or British women. The Japanese are not, as has been supposed, the most proficient race in the country, but they are guarded by Portuguese, Porto Rica, part-Hawaiians and Spanish. Of American women, more than one in 10 marries a Korean woman in Hawaiians, port-Hawaiians and others of blood strangle to their ancestry. Of all the racial groups the Korean woman has refused to mix blood, not a single case of a Korean woman marrying a man other than a Korean having been dislodged. A New Racial Group As a whole, the tables indicate, the part-Hawaiian group has a tendency to consolidate, rather than aceterate, to marry with other women, who marry, $2.7 per cent marry back into the full-blooded Hawaiian strain, while only 1.8 per cent take white women, $2.1 per cent breed among their own kind or marry at large. Of Asiatic Hawaiian males, 43.6 per cent marry back into the Hawaiian strain, while 42.4 per cent asiate and a negligible proportion into the Caucasian strain. The result, so far as the Hawaiian strain is concerned, is a racial and social group, fecund to a high degree, still anomaly susceptible to civilization's diseases, but with much higher Hawaiian stock and visibly adding to its numbers. The women of Korea lead all males and females of the islands Getting Ready for Underwood & Underwood The officers and men at the U. S. n.

Pressed Boy's Trousers While They Were on Him Tony Volpona, twenty-two years old, a tailor of Covington, Ky., was fired $50 and costs by Judge Mason on a charge of assault and disorder conduct preferred by the mother of Howard Barber, twelve years old.

Volpona said he caught the boy on the across the iron board and proceeded to use the iron, which was warmer than he thought, causing the boy to cry with pain. In passing sentence, he said there was nothing malicious in the conduct of the tailor but that he was careless. The case has been appealed. Regard righteousness as galt.

Only 0.3 percent of the Japanese men contract out marriage, or unions with men of other races, while 0.7 of one per cent of Japanese men so pick their mates. The percentage for the Chie- tai men is 41.5 per cent for the men; Amercan- ean, 17.9 for the women and 51.7 for the men; Portuguese, 32.3 women, 13.3 men; Japanese, 15.5 women. *Pure Stock Dies Fast.* The pure Hawaiian death rate is the highest in the islands, 13.48 thousand annually, although the pure Japanese men are the highest as American, British and other whites. Scientists recognize that susceptibility to diseases of civilization is respon- sible to the Japanese, but the pure Hawaiian race, but the figures just made public by Mr. Sullivan are the first to show that the inter- marriage rebuilding the old race into a stronger race.

Constantinople—The command of the Sheik-ul-Islam, vicer of the sultan, ordering Turkish women not to appear among the dying and graved by them. The German-Austrian and allied occupations of husbands, fathers and brothers, and the press of poverty, has brought a new freedom to Turkish women. This is daily seen by their clothing. They wear their vellis still, instead of a hat, but turned back and, tied in a pretty book, after the manner of a pretty book. Because of the high price of cloth, Turkish women no longer wear it.

Rochester—A rule of the olden queues in the shape of a "Grandfather's Fountain" of the Massachusetts Massacre temple in Honceville. The clock is owned by Dr. Harry R. Hartelet, and because of its history it is a national landmark. This affidavit, sworn to before a notary public, vouchers for its history: "This clock was made in England and named Dawd, and was afterward sold by him to Israel Punam, and at last sent to Israel Punam, and sent to Israel Punam Jr. (the general of the Revolutionary war). In his death it became the property of James S. Punam. After his death I came into possession of it and was sold to me by Dr. Harry R. Hartelet." Could Not Get Central Castle, N. Y. — A country school teacher entered a business place one day and asked to use the telephone. A pencil sharpper was fastened to the telephone and the telephone stood. She cranked the sharpper and took down the receiver. Getting no reply, she repeated it several times. Turning to the clerk, she said: "That's the telephone." The telephone was phone installed in my house. You can't get service." Just turn the crank on the bell box. That was a pencil sharpper you were told to use. terms a marvelous storehouse of scientific knowledge. Doctor Newbold told of his two nephews to decipher the code Bacon used. As a result of the revelations made by the 800,000 word manuscript, scientists have declared Bacon had remained alive and conceived today, and had not the discoveries made by him remained unknown to others until relicsofred hundreds of years after his death, much in advance of his present state. Explanation of the Cipher "Bacon conceived the idea of expressing every letter of a word which he wanted to write in cipher by a syllable new word," he said. "For example, if the letter 'C' is represented by 'GR', 'M' and 'E' by 'ED' the word 'Graded' would be written in cipher except of the an even number of letters. To meet these difficulties Bacon lays down the rule that the syllable must be given with the same letters, double letters being dropped. Thus 'Cat' may be spelled in the Bacon cipher as follows and thus discover the syllables which spell the word. But it is seldom possible to find syllables which fulfill the syllables in the word when arranged in the order of letters of the original word like 'cat'. for example, 'Cat' may not be spelled in the syllables may be rearranged when 'dark' is translated the word 'cat' will reappear as 'ten', the order of the syllables is changed. These are the prerequisite conditions. There are 494 possible combinations of the letters of two 22 letter alphabets, taken two by two. Helen makes them in a way that makes it possible of his alphabet and with them spell his words in Latin in the way indicated above. He disarranges the letters in the way he wants it usually is still recognizable, but frequently it is disarranged so much that scholars probably never will be able to how it should be reconstructed. titude of garments, designed in old time to hide the outlines of their figures. Both veil and dresses are a deep sea blue, instead of the dull cone uniforms worn by the housemaids, the homepier brown dress, the becoming garment designed by Halie Hanun, the nationalist woman leader. These changes have dissipated the Turkish womans, and Americans find that she does not differ in looks very much from others. On an average they are not so good-looking as the Turkish womans, and Americans may be said to lie in their timidity. Even this quality is disrupted quickly when they come in contact with foreigners. These reactions received upon the Consul-general for girls, maintained by Americana. At such receptions the Turkish girls and women talk brightly and expressly, the naval officers and other guests. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT By F. A. WALKER AN AMERICAN explorer has just returned to civilization after a visit to the interior of Ecuador and the diving site of the Tribe of head hunting savages have lived in the same territory since long before Columbus discovered the continent. The tribe of head hunting savages derive from the influence of civilization. The most striking evidence of their failure to advance in the centuries which have passed over them is the fact that they do not believe in a God, but that they do worship devils. It is practically the universal histories from the savage state to that of civilization, that the belief in devils precedes that of a belief in God. Before they conceive or defy a god, they believe in a kingdom of evil and establish a burgundy in the management of one or all forms of danger and misfortune. Herbert Spencer in his analysis of human worship bases religion on the Unknown, declaring that the savage first worships those powers which he deceived. It is the savages' inability, because of his savage, to trace cause from effect that leads him to assign to totally unrelated things the cause for what And since it is those things which harm or threaten him with harm which most concern him he establishes first causes rather than his God causes. He hears in the thunder the voice of a devil living in the sky who punishes with the swift lightning and his fire. He sees a devil in the wild beast that kills his cattle. There is a demon who helps his enemies of, another tribe. The white man gun is an invention of some evil spirit and the drought which overthrows his lands are evidences to him of the activities of some powerful and unfriendly spirit which he must in some way appease. In some of the earliest written history of this country, the narrative left to us is that the devil is there is much space devoted to the devil worship of the Indians of that territory and the sacrilege of children in the land. All through tradition and history from Set, the demon of death and evil in the mythology of early Egypt down in the Middle Ages in place yearly in Arizona, there has been a continuous story of devil worship and rites and rituals intended to appease him and gain his friend. Each of us, highly civilized as we think we are, gives a tremendous power. Despite the fact that we read in the Bible, and generally think we believe it, that the God of our civilized ideas dispel—well powerful—we are meditatively deny that fact by giving evil, which cannot be an attribute of God, equal or greater power. Practically everybody, unless we except Christ, dispels power, think that sickness is much more powerful. MOTHER'S COOK BOOK by Nestle Maxwell Man may be the best of the family; but better, half a tenpenny of pot, far better than that, woman is the rica, an egg heaten light, and one-half the power of the Bible. THERE are two reasons why time work is sought. The first that the woman who has her own hob to run cannot be away all day with serious consequences, particularly she is a mother as well as a wife. Yet it is sometimes necessary to h MEALS FOR THE DAY. COMBINATIONS are not always in good in leftovers, unless great care is taken, following though unusual, proved very good. A cupful or two of real bread with noodles was the basis of this dish, and the batter was mixed with the fat from a piece of steak, also a small bit of cold steak was minced and put into the dish, with some of the noodles and the jellied soup, a dish of creamed onion (which were also leftovers) were chopped and added to the soup, mashed soup, moistened with milk. Bake until the potato is slightly brown and from the dish. Add a sprinkle of mashed soup, moistened in oven arranging the food in the pan. **Liver With Onion Sauce.** Partially sliced calf's liver until hot, heated in the boiling water, and fry in hot bacon fat until well cooked. Fry a cupful of chopped onions in the remaining fat, until a mixture of vinegar and over the liver.

Peanut Butter Leaf. than health and that death is certain to triumph over life. We can only establish the rule of evil by suppressing the rule of good. By suppressing it, it is only the absence of light. Silence is the only absence of light. Death is only a local ceasing of the phenomena of life. The way to get rid of darkness is to let in the light. The way to get rid of evil is to let in and encourage good. The perhaps we should not blame the poor savage in Ecuador for failing to help the children in need, the supply of devils. He has not yet been able to think out the truth. He who are wiser and we, hope for that wisdom, should see to it that as little as possible of "devil" exists and influences our lives. (Copyright.) SCHOOL Oh boy!

RLYING solely upon the phonetic sound of this expression, it appears to be directly related to the word of writers have fallen into the error of spelling "dam" as if it were the word derived from the fact of a tinkerer. To say that a person or a thing is "not worth a tinkerer's dam" is, however, not related to the same meaning. The word gets its meaning from the fact that a tinkerer's dam was a wall of dough or soft clay raised on a surface. In repairing, desired to flood with solder, the material of which this dam was made could be thrown away as utterly worthless. Meanwhile, it had served the purpose of stopping or damming a stream. The colloquial simple is, therefore, derived from this short period of usefulness and not from any whispering, the word "damn" on the part of tinkers or plumbers.

This is often the case with teachers and librarians and other professional work jobs, but the calls upon them are great. They do not want to give up the special professional labor in which they are regular, yet they must have more money. Summer jobs are various, from accepting positions as governors to child care workers, and from filling in at offices where vacations are cutting down the regular force. A stenographer job can often be secured in an office for two weeks or on until the vacation season closes. Some women are successful in taking parties of young girls or older women to a good service in a good price for services of this sort. Lecturing is another good part-time Job. The features are planned for the best. To succeed here you must be a good speaker, and have from four to six likely papers to read on any given subject, or on or three related sub Teaching craft work is an excellent part-time occupation, and so are the various housekeeping jobs that are needed for the employed woman who wishes to give only half a day to such work. Two women I know divide between them the work of an office, as well as the salary. One goes for the afternoon, and this has worked well. The woman looking for part-time work is more likely to get it today in any period before. It is in a solution for both employees and employees that is certain to become more and more popular.

Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale BY MARY GRAHAM BONNER CHICKEN NEWS "Well," said Miss White Chicken, "what is the news?" "News," said Mrs. White Hen, "what is the news?" There were a number of white chicken on a hot summer day under a big shady tree. They were trying to get cool for they felt quite warm. The sun was shining summers in their pretty white feathers. "I know some news," said Mrs. Snow Hen. "It to it," said the other herds and chickens. There were some relations of ours who are being up in great luxury," said Mrs. Snow Hen. She had been so named because her feathers looked even whiter than the "What does luxury mean?" asked Miss White Chicken. "what does it mean?" asked Mrs. Snow Hen. "Luxury," said Mrs. Snow Hen, "means riches and such things. When a creature is living in luxury it means people and things and having every- thing about that costs lots of money." "It is pleasant to live that way!" "Many think so," said Mrs. Snow Hen. "但 I never noticed that it might be easier to seize them to make them aid, and for they've lost a lot of other things by the roadside as they've been looking for them. "Can one pick up riches and luxury as one can seed?" asked Mrs. White Hen. "No, not exactly," said Mrs. Snow Hen. "Oh, they lose all sorts of things, like knowing how to have a good time, and they forget all the simple way until they've found that the pleasures which cost a great deal don't always work. But, pray do not ask me to tell you too much about luxury and riches, for I don't know much about them. I'm not sure." "I know Some News," and not too superior, for I hate to live in just such a way and eat just such food all the time. "These relations of ours belong to some very, very, very wealthy people. "The heirs and chickens themselves didn't make the money, yeow. "There are hundreds of our relations, though, who live in this fine way. "In the winter time they live in a chicken house which has steam heat and electric lights and running water. They eat just such seed and they aren't allowed to go wandering off any Of course some things about such a life may be very pleasant, but it is hard to believe. "I've heard Dash Dash, the dog telling some of his dog friends that he wouldn't be a little pet dog on a chair whenever he wanted it, for anything." Dash says he likes to be a regular dog and have love people him and care for them. "I don't want to be treated like a little lap dog, who helps for everything he wants, and often for it." I don't envy our fine relations in the least, but one thing I must say for them. "What is that?" asked Mrs White Hen. "Do tell us," said Miss White Hen. "Yes, pray tell us," said the other white chicken and white hen. "Our relations are just the same, and we don't need such绰绰," said Mrs Snow Hen. "They cackle and cluck and talk just in the same style; they're always stuckup. That is one thing very much in their favor, and it also shows their good sense. That is the news I No Two Alike.

LAKE OF IMMENSE DEPTH Attitan, in Guatemala, is One of the World's Most Remarkable Bodies of Water. Below lay cities with their public squares and white churches, fields below below the golden gates of Fujian, the crystal caves of Guatemala the Guatemala highlands, huge dark masses of forest, and beyond, extending their thousands of spruce dwellers. To the left the peaks of Attitan towered to the heavens, majestic symmetrical, recalling in them the deepest caverns the famed Fugianna of Japan. It was more than a half a day's ride from this point before we came to Guebang, below the deep blue waters of Lake Attitan, and on its opposite sides, raring above a mile to a mile below, the deep blue waters of Lake Attitan, the deep great volcanoes, of which the two known as Attitan are the most wonderful. Lake Attitan, itself, has length and 12 miles wide, is a remarkable body of water. The Rev. Father Garcia of Naguajua, a graduate of Guatemala, has one who has given enthusiastic study to the meteorology of the region, informed me that official soundings of this lake gave an extreme depth of 1200 feet. its surface in 5,000 feet below the level of the sea.

We sanded and sanded on perpendicular walls marked by the slate grays and publish the volcanic ash. Such are the rocks of Lake Pamachi, painted by nature in her most glorious riotous colors, and riveting even the fawned host of the lake. Has Many Famous Pictures.

Sir Auckland Geddes, the British ambassador, recently told an amusing story about the wolf packs that howled around the cabin at night, going forth, a torch in one hand and a revolver in the other.

Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale BY MARY GRAHAM DONNER COPYRIGHT BY WILLIAM HARRIS CHICKEN NEWS "Well," said Miss White Chicken. "what is the news?" "News," said Mrs. White Hen. "what are interesting. Who knows any news." There were a number of white chickens and white hen sitting one big tree. They were trying to get cool for they felt quite warm, though they looked nice and cool and summery in their pretty white feathers. "I know some news," said Mrs. Snow Hen. "It is said, so the other heats and chickens. "There are some relations of ours being brought up in great luxury," said Mrs. Snow Hen. Because her feathers looked even better than the feathers of the others. "What does luxury mean?" asked Miss White Chicken. "What does it mean?" asked Mrs. White Hen. "Luxury," said Mrs. Snow Hen. "means riches and such things. When a creature is living in luxury it means people and things and having everything about that costs lots of money." "It is pleasant to live that way?" asked Mina White Chicken. Mr. Snow Hen. "But I never knew that it made much difference. Sometimes it seems to make them aid, for they tend to walk the roadside as they've been looking for riches and luxury." One can pick up riches and luxury and can seize what needs! Mr. White Hen. "No, not ascertained," said Mr. Snow Hen. "And what do they lose by the way?" asked Mina White Chicken. "Oh, they lose all sorts of things, like knowing how to have a good time, knowing how to eat, knowing how to use to have in a simple way until they've found that the pleasures which cost a great deal don't always work." But, pray do not ask me to tell you too much about luxury and riches, for I don't know about them. I am not sure. "I know Some News." and not too superior, for I hate to live in just such a way and eat just such food all the time. "These relations of ours belong to some very, very, very wealthy people.

"In the winter time they live in chicken house which has steam heat and electric lights and running water.

I am not a fan of the kind of some of his dog, friends that he wouldn't be a little pet dog on a silken cushion, wheeled with fred cream. "Dash says he likes to be a regular dog and have people love him and care for him, but he doesn't want to be treated like a little lag dog, who joes the game and plays the game, and often what he doesn't want. "I don't envy any fine relations in the least, but one thing I must say for them, that is that" asked Mrs White Hen. "Do tell us," said Miss White Chicken. "Give tell us," said the other white chicken and white hese. "Our relations are just the same, even though they live in such luxury and amidst such riches," said Mrs White Chicken. "And take in just the same style; they are not affected and they're not in the least stuckup. That is one thing very much in their favor, and it also shows that he is the news I have for you."

Its waters teem with fish and reefs, and while walking upon its sandy beach near Pansjachel we saw great schools of smaller fish and not a few reefs. We saw the volcanic hills, often in precipitates, forested hogbacks, often in steeply sloping wheat fields, or again in the sandy beaches of red sandstone or perpendicular walls marked by the slate grays and purlish hues of volcanic ash. Such are the rocks of the Lake Pansjachel, painted by nature in her most glorious, vitotous colors, and dwelling even the marmor hues of the lake.
