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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Little Italian Cannot See Out of One Eye, but Antagonists Can Locate Bum Opto-Chance to Cop Least Laurel. Peter Herman is getting more spotlight as a comback then he got as champlon of the bantams. He has been a big part of going to along to a fighter who makes declines with his fists. Herman is literally staring at "the enemy" he has locked in decision fights. He was outpotted often. He was an unpopular title holder. He was action by the loss of his crown he went to England and gave INTERNATIONAL Pete Herman. Jimmy Wilde the first knockout he had ever taken. Returning, Herman started tipping over opponents. It is said Herman cannot see out of one of the eyes. But none of the boxers he fights have been able to locate his good eye and fins. We are ruling back to the side of the little Italian. They like him because he is trying his best to knock out Lych. On the other hand, is boxing no decision bouts and barely hold his own. Montreal won 7 out of 10 rounds in a mix with Lych in Grenada a few nights ago. But Lych's little was safeguarded by the no-decision attachment. The bantans are pretty well mixed up just now. There's a whole flock up then—Joe Burman, Carl Tremaine, Young Montreal, Jack Wade and Joe Burman. We have promised to give him a crack at the title soon.

INTERESTING SPORT NOTES Many a battle has found that Jack Sharkley is no fish. When Jempey plays in vaudeville he doesn't play heavy parts. University of Minnesota students favor one-man control of athletics. The national rite and pit matches at Camp Perry, O, will start August 24. Jack Sharkley's recent twins are boys. He intends to make fighters out of them. Jack Britton, wetterweight, chimpanzee, is not expected to box until the early fall. Stadium to seat 16,000 will be built at Forest Hills, N. Y., to accommodate batyte cup fans. Wille McDaniel, heavyweight, is considering a trip to Australia to take part in three bouts. An international chess tournament will probably be played in Havana, Cula, next December. Yale has a long golf schedule which includes dinti meets with Columbia, Princeton and Harvard. Hilton Tilden thinks the Jaws may put the winning bolt on the ball in the coming Dawts cup struggles. Michigan refuses to recognize swimming in a sport. Maybe it is figured in the same class as battling—a necessity. Bob Roper has a younger brother who wants to turn boxer. His name is Tommy and, like Bob, he is a big fellow. Lakem Evans is defended with challengers from both teams who挑战 the advice of their insurance agents. Chick Evans would be allowed to use his pet putter in the English open. The English rules classify it as a "crutch." Charles Paddock, sprint king, says he always runs with his legs ahead of him. What wed like to know is: How does he keep up with them?

CLARK & STEPHENS THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921 Natalie's Misplaced Sympathy Natalie Jones was a bitterly disappointed girl. She had been so truly in love with Paul Lester, and now everything was over between them forever. She never would love any one else never could love him again. Perhaps it was just as well to find out that he was a dictatorial brute. Brute? Yes, he was a brute to intimate that she was a selfish butterfly who didn't care for her fellow beings. He could go on with his old philanthropy for all of her. She didn't interfere when he spent lots of his time in the slums— but why should he think she ought to spend her time there? Of course, he didn't say just exactly that, but it was what he meant. She was taking part in the bridge tournament and couldn't go and see the woman he asked her to visit when he had gone out of town. Of course, everybody was sorry for poor people! Anyway, she would show him that it wasn't anything wonderful to be called a philanthropist. She'd show him that she could do just as good work in that way as anybody. Not that she wanted to pharate him; she didn't; but just to show him. Then, when she had done a lot of good work he could come to her on mended knees begging her for giveness, and she wouldn't grant it. Natalie had no distinction plan for going out into the world as a humanitarian, but she would find a way. She would go to the school, she knew her heart was broken and there was no use in anything. Still, one thing remained—she would show up. "Natalie, dear," said her mother, coming into the room dressed for the street, "I have just had a disappointment. I was not going to the Women's club this afternoon, and I am forced to call upon you." Natalie's first impulse was to refuse to go to the Women's club, mother, "I will help you. What is it?" "We are having Mr. Fleming, the music of our public schools, the music of our school, of the work taught in the schools, I need you to take charge of the groups of children and start them to the play." Natalie waited with her mother and before she realized it she was intensely interested. Then she spied a little boy, who was the most beautiful face she had ever seen. He was wonderful. He was like a young St. John. He kept perfect time and sang with unusual intelligence and most beautiful music he tried his clothes. He had on the vest and trousers of a suit several sizes too large for him; his shirt sleeves were rolled up to the elbow, his trousers reached to the floor, and he were no worse. "Poor little fellow," she thought, "he must he suffer to go dressed so grotesquely when the other little boy tastes it. His people must be very poor and these clothes are hung down from an older brother. I'll buy him a suit myself! I'll take charge of him and things to wear while he is so little." Her heart filled with joy at the thought of helping the little fellow. She ran to the teacher who had charge of the class and asked his name. She had to leave before the class had finished, to keep an appointment. But she thought consistency of the boy's behavior was important to find the place where the boy lived. She was surprised when she again read the address, for it was in a very quiet room. "There are some old run-down houses there," she thought. She would hardly believe her eyes she saw the home. It was almost a mansion. She compared the number over the door with the number of the address on the card given by the teacher. They were the same. She would go up and inquire. The door was opened by a maid in embroidered cap and gown. She told me where I may find the parents of little Bernard Limings? "This is Mr. Peter Limings" residence, many years ago. "The little boy? Does he live in the neighborhood?" "Master Bernard Limings lives here. He is in school now. Would you like to see his mother? She is "You don't understand. I am not looking for any one here. I am not looking for anyone to be in my name and address." Natalie showed the card to the puzzled man, a beautiful young woman came into the room and asked him to help. "Won't you come in, please, and tell me about it?" Natalie, all apologies, accompanied the young woman into a richly furnished room. "I'm afraid I've made a mistake. Let me tell you how it happened." She told about the lovely boy in the room, who was sorry for him and want to help him. The young woman's face, which had worn a look of establishment at first, was still bright and then to one of quiet amusement. "You dear girl, I love you for your sweet intention. But you didn't understand that Bernie was dressed for a part in the play." "Wait a little, here comes my husband and the architect who is doing our new country home. They have been down there for a few days. I want you to meet them. My husband," she heard the voice of her hostess. Natalie offered her hand. Then, "Miss Jones, allow me to present Mr. Lester." It was Paul! She bowed coldly, although she was in a fever of fright. Where was the plan she had had for scoring Paul after proving her ability to do noble deeds? She had brought about this unmilling flase? She would escape at once. “I must tell you how Miss Jones and I became acquainted,” Mrs. Linoges addressed the two men. Then followed the whole story. Natalie was tripped. Her shaking limbs would hardly hold her. Paul gave her a long and searching look. Her blazing cheeks told the story of her utter confusion. Again she started to leave. “I shall drive Miss Jones home,” Paul said to Mrs. Linoges, and taking Natalie’s unresisting arm hastened to the waiting motor. Inside he said, “Sweetheart, you are the dearest and sweetest thing on earth and I am a best and a villain.” “Don't you dare to call my future husband names,” Natalie replied. The motor was not started for several moments. ONLY MET MOTHER FORMALLY Empress of Austria Was "Received" by Her Children in the Most Approved Manner. Unless she gave 24 hours' notice the beautiful Empress Elizabeth of Austria, consent of the late Emperor Francis I, gave her the esteem of the esteem of the court to see her own babies. We were strangers to her practically from the day of her birth, and in his book, "Royal Romances and Trigades," Charles Kingston tells how once an elderly physician ventured to her to see what she might see, she saw something of her children she might awaken out of the melanoid trance into which she had fallen. For a time Francis Joseph angrily declined to vary the rigid rule which required of her her inclusion of her in the chamberbath. Even when the visit took place, it was not a case of happy little children welcoming their mother with cries of joy. The children had the children dressed in stiff, ceremonial clothes, and then drilled in the way they were to receive their mother, the appearance of the emperor, the Austrian king, the Austrian system of education had no chance to be human, simply bowed as though they were elderly courtiers, the only sign of childhood being their tertium decimus, the lady—Cleveland Fla. Dealer. Stretching Span of Life The publication of a monumental work by Viscount Bryce at the ripe age of eighty-three should persuade many of us who want to feel what it is like to be an octogenarian that old age can be attained without the aid of thyroid glands borrowed from the monkey, says a writer in the London Chronicle. One of the secrets of old age would seem to be a lifetime of intellectual activity, and a lion's share of public service. It is quite astonishing the number of public men living at the present day who have passed their eightieth birthday. Lord Channing is in his eighty-first year; Viscount Morley is eighty-three; Mr. Frederic Harrison is close on ninety; Sir Henry Poland is still a vigorous letter writer, ninety one, while the earl of Hidsbury is ninety-seven, and possibly there are others. The "Hampton of Macedonia." Three miles from Sakonik, on an agricultural farm, is the "Hampton of Macedonia" a rural and industrial institute. The Survey says that it is "one of the outposts of American education in a region where Turkish needs just that combination of idealism and practical training for agriculture and small trades for which Hampton college is famous here. A national institute, it is also a refuge; they represent ten nationalities and will be the future missionaries of the "American idea of co-education," much of the work, by its very nature, is self-supporting, the last few years of unrest and exceptional costs have thrown the school into debt, and a need is needed to accommodate more boys."

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.

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.

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.

The Moonlight Club was highly entertained on last Friday night at the residence of Mrs. Lucille Powell. Some member entertains the club each Friday night. The president of the club, Mr. Charlie Chapman, Mr. and Mrs. Birdie Wigdall made a few days' visit to Ballinger to see parents and friends. Rev. Brown of Ballinger was in the city last week. Rev. Riptoe preached at Macedonia Sunday night and the members enjoyed a splendid sermon. Mrs. G. B. Manuel received a nice box of peaches from Montgomery, Ala., last week. We regret very much to learn of the tragic death of Mrs. Eloise Dixon, which occurred in Ft. Worth. Mrs. Ida Jackson's sister is sick in bed this week.

SOUTH'S GREATEST WEEKLY NEWSPAPER SPORT POTPOURRI BUFF-PANTHER SERIES DRAW WELL Before the officials of the Texas Colored Baseball League and the largest crowd to witness a colored game here this season, the Black Buffs lost a ragged and rotten fiascp to the cheesy Fort Worth Black Panthers at West End Park Sunday. Seated in the box behind the catcher, W.J. President S. Wells, Dallas; Secretary of Defense and Owner, Hiram McGar, both of Panthers and several other baseball luminaries, including "Colonel" R. T. H. Sims and Magnates Dude L. Wade and Hoover E. McCoy of Houston. This array of baseball magnates was too much for the Buffs and the umpire, the latter's work being about as ragged as the Buffs' fielding. The local infield went to pieces on drivers and sundry occasions and this controlled to Fort Worth's scoring, who piled up scores to the Buffs 4 and not over two of the Panthers runs were earned. L. Danage at third, Lawson Perry at short and "Coon" Pryor at second fell down or brably in their fielding. After the latter was removed from the game because of a lame leg. Captain Tom Calway, recently elected to that position, shifted himself to the keystone cack and sent "Slugger" lines to the outfield. The captain, in his anxiety to salvage the game, tried to cover the much more territory and spill 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 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.

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.

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. The testimony showed that the boy entered Volpona's place of business and asked to have his trousers pressed. 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. THE HOUSTON INFORMER, SATURDAY, MAY 21, 1921. "Gold" Alchemy Hoax of Bacon Women Ignore Sheik in marrying within their own race there are other groups which are a close second in this respect. 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.

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.

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.

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.

The Lesson Committee has made an infelishments choice of title for this lesson. The teacher would better ignore it and give himself to the explanation of the passages of Scripture selected, as they are of innuesive importance. 1. The Behavior of Martha and Mary When Jesus Was in the Home (Luke 10:38-42). The attitude of Martha and Mary toward Jesus was the same; they both loved Him sincerely. 1. Jesus welcomed into Martha's home (v. 39). Though Jesus had no home of His own, into this home He could come at any time and throw off the restraints incident to a public ministry. How pleasant it is to enter a home where one can feel "at home"! In Martha's home Jesus was welcomed for what He was, not for what He might appear to be. This home was His special retreat in the last days of His life on earth. 2. Mary sitting at Jesus' feet (v. 39). Though this was Martha's home, her sister Mary lived with her. Mary had a peculiar spiritual insight which prompted her to sit at Jesus' feet and listen to His words. The real place to hear Jesus' word is at His feet. Let no one imagine that Mary did not render my service. The little word "also" implies that she had taken her turn at service. 3. Martha's complaint (v. 40). She was desirous of preparing the very best possible meal for Jesus because she loved Him. She was mistaken as to what pleased Jesus. He much prefers the love which concerns itself with Him than for His. Because of her failure to perceive this she was "cumbered about much serving." Her serving got on her nerve; she became distracted. In her distraction she not only found fault with Mary, but ever ensured Jesus for allowing Mary to sit at His feet while the dinner was not finished. In order to serve Jesus without distraction one must first sit at His feet and listen to His words. This gives personal noise. 4. **Jesus reply** (vv. 41, 42). (1) He rebounded Martin, telling her that she was careful and troubled about many things. (2) He asked the Master are anxious for nothing (Phil. 4.6). The one thing needed for every life is to sit at Jesus feet. The time to schedule it. (3) He commands Mary, "Mary hath chosen that good part which not be taken away"; those who chose this good part can remember it by circumstance, friends, or fears. 1. **Jesus, the Donor** (Luke 2.31, 52). 2. Jesus was conscious of Him delite and divine mission. He rewarded due obedience as a faithful son. Since He was known as the carpenter's son (Matt. 13,55) and the carpenter's friend (Matt. 13,56) he posed that He assisted Joseph in his work as a carpenter, and after Joseph's death He, as the eldest son of the family, continued with the trade of carpentry. He had it so that it soon after they found Him in the temple at the age of twelve. Jesus died leaving the care of his children, who is really about his father's business when running errands in mother in love obedience to her request. 1. **Timothy's Home Training** (11. Timothy's Home Training (11). This is a picture of a real Christian home. From a child, that is a babe, Timothy was taught the Holy Scriptures done in the Sunday school, but in the home of his mother (II Him. 1:5). The Sunday school can never take the Bible as a godly ancestry. His mother had the good sense to fill his mind with the word of God before it became preoccupied with other things. The real lesson is that the Scriptures are God breathed, and able to make one wise. The wisdom which is obtained from the Scriptures is the wisdom whom alone is salvation (Acts 4:12). Those Without Fault. And I looked, and to, I landed on the Mount Zion, and with him an arm in the hand, the Father's name written in their foreheads. And in their mouths was found no guild to they are with on the ground, the throne of God—I worship 14:1, 5. **Peace** They will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee; because he trusts in Thee—isiah BY REV. H. OSTROM, D. D. Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT - Judas also knew the place - John II. 2. Keeping good company is well, but it cannot guarantee that one is good. Judas is with the lord, seven agneses, and with Jesus too. He knows the Garden of God, and as a place where Jesus often visits. He has hungry, nevertheless he is a betrayer. Like the foolish virginity he has had other eleven apostles, and with Jesus too. He knows the Christian one as a place where Jesus often visits. He has been hung, nevertheless he is a betrayer. Like the foolish virgin in the parable enough of the oil of the Holy Spirit influence on his soul to make him accept our Lord's company in such a place, but he will not accept of eternal life on a gift or our own death. If he had been inward, he is a thief, Good company, but a thief's heart! His choosing to "join" before he had "received" him said he him his soul until not joining him he had accepted our Lord Jesus Christ as the one who would fulfill all superficial types for him, then he might have ranged He knew the place. Those trees could talk to him. He could gather messages from the footprints and paths there. The very air was eloquent, to him. Oh, there are records which do not fit into music boxes or conform to machinery. They are heard at most unexpected times. As if started by unseen hands, in the dark of the night, they compel us to listen. Just as some who read this can hardly help thinking of the path up to the old schoolhouse, where, in the winter revival, they sang, "Come ye sinners poor and needy," or of the old kitchen in the old farmhouse where family prayers were conducted once a day. How often the Spirit of God whispers, "Forget not all his benefits." But Judas had a sufful heart and would not yield that to Jesus the sin-bearer. The place was outside the man, the heart of sin was close within. In Cron over the place, he might, but like a soldier on guard, he would fight Jesus away from that citadel of the heart. And why should Judas be one of the twelve? To be, he is later substituted by Martius, but why was he substituted by Martius, but why was he twelve and one of you in a deck? are the words so startling. And that one the trespasser? Yes, for when God is manifested righting him, he asks for Judas on his own ground and out in the open. The apes are in the thick of the countries-old conflict with humans, and there could not have been much money for Judas to handle anyway. But he can be allowed to aid and submit and have first-hand information, and this would not be hard to achieve, he would have known about it. Now this is the man who sells Jesus for a few cents more than five dollars, and he has first-hand information out of the whole known record never states that he finds any true deception or trickery on Jesus part. This is of persecution on the inside with the whole known record cannot find a flaw or a flack in the structure of Jesus conduct. He objects to Mary manding him, but remember, he nowhere calls him Do we not see that today men and women, wary and guilty, will say that they do not criticize Jesus! His words are wary and guilty, that they "died no fault in him." Yet they refuse him their hearts, how could Jesus Christ be such a true friend? How could he be affected by his repeated declaration of his Sabbar船 were false? How can a man properly appreciate his teaching to a woman? How can a man momentarily reject his shed blood? You admire him, but you do not receive him hearsale test, for a price, you sell There is another “place” mentioned in the account. Judas wished to “his own place” and heard it in the voice of Jesus. He did not cast into hell and did dread languing in his ears more than once. No garden was ever built to hear him. He taught one three. The sale Judas made and that place are closely associated. If he will bear him to teach and even teach to be the heart to sell him that one place is his destiny. Spirit, so do not reject the Lord Jesus as Scout today, lest, to you, you become the pores to be the heart that sells, and you enter that “place.” Like a garden whose trees and flowers all speak of you, if you reject it, that I would you might realize that you turn toward Judas place. Judas had, as it were, lived right in the company of Jesus. He had fully realized it, doubtless the very procession of it would have been on his own. **The Binding of Good Things** Beloved up the mountains the feet of him that belonged good things, that publisheth grace—Nalum 1, 15.

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. No two roses in the garden are just alike, and that is one of the secrets of handwork. The roses of handwork are always preferable to the precision of a machine. The woman who tries to be like one same, also tries to be like one same, is skilled her greatest charm. 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. Its waters teem with trout with which it has been stocked, and with which it has been caught near the beach near Pamachi) we saw great schools of smaller fish and not a few of the volcanic hills, often in precipitous, forested hogbacks, often in steeply steeping water fields, or again, on sandy beaches. 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. From the shores of the lake, as we first looked down upon it, arose great clouds of steam, as if the beach were saturated with boiling water. But, in this case, it was merely the afternoon sun beating upon the wet sands, for the waters of Atilian are cool and crystal clear. Billows of mist, too, arose from the surface of the lake, only to be caught and dissipated by the sudden squalls that come almost vertically from the mountain passes, and always there were rainbows to be seen in the ascending mists. Whether one looked a half mile down upon the mirrored surface of the lake or whether he gazed at the volcanoes towering a mile above and wreathed in their streaming feather bows of shifting vapors, he felt as though great phenomena of nature were being staged for his benefit.—Hamilton M.

Taft, trumpet of the former President, is to be found one of the finest private collections of art. Little known to the public at large, the paintings that Mr. and Mrs. Taft have acquired in the museum, the small circle of the artistic. The collection is built around the Dutch, English and French schools. In some examples of their authors to be seen in the United States. This is notably the paintings of the French Duvenec and of Frank Hale, and two of his portraits to be found there.

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. He was in the darkness and firing. The next morning it was discovered that he had killed a rabbit, the French ambassador, the French ambassador and dean of the coral, later spoofed the British a bit on his story. He was an excellent story, said the Frenchman. "Quite remarkable in some respect," was particularly noted. It seemed he was a shooting story told by an Englishman and there was no tiger in it.

The crowd that greeted him after his several years of study under Prof. Nickerson. New Orleans gave us assurance that there are still some patrons of real music in spite of the havoc that jazz has brought. The auditorium should have been filled. Mr Hogan's playing showed that he has really worked hard while away. Artistic taste was exhibited throughout all his number. He was so good that Mr. Miss L. L. Smith, must be given the honors, not only as an accompanist of excellent ability, but also a pianist of attainments. Mr. Beauchamp's two solos showed that he is still working towards that standard made by Roland Hayes and others of his class. The reading by Mrs. Isaac was enjoyed by all.

When Iron is melted it runs off into a channel called a sow and the internal branches are called pigs; therefore when the iron cools it is called pig iron. Now the word sow is from the Saxon "sawan" to scatter; obviously having a sow for the main, or parent channel it didn't require very much wit to name the grooves little pigs, or the product pig iron. Our Old Plate Steffold plate was known as "copper-rolled plate" when it was first introduced in 1742. A Sheffield mechanic named Bolsover, while repairing some cutlery,advertently fused silver and copper, and set him experimenting, and the result was the evolution of articles saving the appearance of being made from silver. Later on, rock and other silver silvers opened factories for the manufacture of the plate. For nearly 60 years the copper was plated on one side only.

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. "The heens and thickens themselves didn't make the money you see. "There are three hundred of our relations, though, who live in this fine way. "In the winter time they live in 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 too lacking in adventure to suit me. 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."

LAKE OF IMMENSE DEPTH Attian, in Guatemala, is one of the World's Most Remarkable Bodies of Water. Below lay cities with their public squares and white churches, fields of yellow grain like golden flatches of light in the crystal-clear atmosphere of the Guatemala highlands, huge dark masses of forest, and beyond, extending their thousands of spurs and flanks, rose the prodigious Cordilleras. To the left the peaks of Attlian towered to the heavens, majestic, symmetrical, recalling in their perfect contour the famed Fuglyama of Japan. It was more than a half day's ride from this point before we came to Godines crest and beheld 3,000 feet below us, the deep blue waters of Lake Attlian, and on its opposite shores, rising sheer a mile to a mile and a half above the surface of the lake, seven great volcanoes, of which the two known as Attlian are the most wonderful. Lake Attlian, itself a crater lake 27 miles in the greatest length and 12 miles wide, is a remarkable body of water. The Rev. Father Garcia of Naguaila, a graduate of the University of Rome, and 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 more than 1,000 feet. Its surface in 5,000 feet below the level of the sea. 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. From the shores of the lake, as we first looked down upon it, arose great clouds of steam, as if the beach were saturated with boiling water. But, in this case, it was merely the afternoon sun beating upon the wet sands, for the waters of Atitian are cool and crystal clear. Billows of mist, too, arose from the surface of the lake, only to be caught and dissipated by the sudden squalls that come almost vertically from the mountain passes, and always there were rainbows to be seen in the ascending mists. Whether one looked a half mile down upon the mirrored surface of the lake or whether he gazed at the volcanoes towering a mile above and wreathed in their streaming feather bows of shifting vapors, he felt as though great phenomena of nature were being staged for his benefit.—Hamilton M.

The wolf pack in one hand and a revolver in the other, of seeing two bright eyes in the darkness and dring. The next morning it was discovered that he had Mr. Jusserand, the French ambassador and dean of the corps, later spoofed the British a bit on his story.

When from is melted it runs off into a channel called a sow and the lateral branches are called pigs; therefore when the iron cools it is called pig iron.

In 1424 a Sheffield man named William the appearance of being made, advertently fused silver and copper.
