The boys need saving as much as girls, for upon them depends the safety of the girls. Prayer meetings and Sunday schools are needed and are good, but something more must be done if we are to properly care for and direct the physical needs. We need a gymnasium. THIS TOWN. We must have it. The fathers ought to organize; they ought to study the problems of boys. CITY OBSERVATIONS. By J. L. T.

One of the wedding surprises the past month was the marriage of B. F. Cooper of Buxton to Lassie Terrell of Colfax, Iowa, on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at home of the bride's parents, Judge Terrrell, in Colfax. It was a very quiet wedding, only a few friends and relatives witnessing the ceremony. The bride is one of our best ladies, a teacher in the schools of Sedalia, Mo., and the groom is one of the best known and most successful business men of Iowa, a druggist of Buxton. He is one young man who by hard work and stickyottoniness was succeeded, and today is a rich man. We extend our congratulations to these worthy people and wish them happiness down the path of life. HEALTH HINTS. By A. J. Booker The most perplexing question that comes to parents is the proper handling of the adolescent boy. These boys are not the best "housemids" and are inclined to "life in the open"—doing anything readily which calls for running around, or you are apt to find them in gangs. This "gang" idea is as natural as life to boys. It is airement to the age of tribe and barbarous instinct. It is not the suppression of this instinct, but its guidance that should attract attention. We have examples in the guidance in the dominant race in Y. M. C. A. a few years ago the high school cadets, now in the movement. In this section of the country we are deprived of Y. M. C. A. privileges; some parents do not see the benefit of boy scout movements and there are no gymnasiums for boys. What is to become of the boys; how is the time which is now lost to be made up; who is teaching the boys, training them for the thing we must need—ability to work in groups? The father sits idly by, the woman gossip and expect boys to grow up into mild mannered men without special training. It is time for the citizens of Des Moines especially to act; to arrange some way to give boys a proper outlet for their nature. A few years ago there was a move in foot which for the previous activity of the misguided would have by this time grown into a helpful organization. Of course every mother's son is too good to associate with the riff raff, but if a number of these boys could be got together it would make them still better. As stated above, it is not suppression, but guidance of these natural tendencies that we must look to. The boys need saving as much as girls, for upon them depends the safety of the girls. Prayer meetings and Sunday schools are needed and are good, but something more must be done if we are to properly care for and direct the physical needs. We need a gymnasium-THIS TOWN. We must have it. The fathers ought to organize; they ought to study the problems of boys. CITY OBSERVATIONS. By J. L. T.

EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS I shall endeavor to observe the things that I saw in the other sates and leave the balance of the Iowa otties stand until I shall have finished our owner states. In Quincy, Ill, we find quite a number of progressive colored people, who are waking up to the realization that in order to stay in America they must rely upon their own resources and ability and also patronize their own race enterprises. Quincy colored people could have been far better off if they had begun fifty years ago to ```markdown ``` Price Five Cents. support their race enterprises and saving their earnings and putting them to the proper use. Perhaps the same could be said of most any other town, but the example is so vivid in this particular place that I call attention to our readers that they like those people have lost a good many opportunities to become fairly well to do and be successful in business by letting a good chance slip by. However, Mr. W. W. Fields, a young man of business abilities, owns and conducts a first class grocery store, of which fully one-half of his trade is white. He has been in business several year, and formerly lived in Keokuk. Mr. P. R. Brent, one of the pioneer colored families of this town, is still alive. He is quite old, yet he has made a great mark in this section of state, having been grandmother of the school. He has raised an excellent family and his youngest teacher is a teacher in the Quincy schools here. He owns valuable property. Miss Koger also owns valuable property in the heart of the town and is an old settler here. Mr. Edward Duncan business district and operates a first class saloon. He also runs a hotel. Mr. M. Bass owns and conducts a first class salon and conducts a first class hotel. In this town the schools are separate and the colored people have a beautiful new building. Prof. R. A. Roberts is principal and a very able and highly educated race man. He says that his teachers all have a general average of normal school graduates and some of his faculty have college work to their credit, which is above the average of any school in Quincy. While I met all the teachers in his school, I am sorry that I cannot give the names of the teachers. I might say that Miss Garnett, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Garnett of Macon, Mo, who is a Kansas university student, teaches here. Miss Mattie Lilly chronicles the news from that city. Mr. F. G. Munday is one of the reliable citizens there and owns valuable property. Rev. T. L. Smith is charge of the Baptist church, while the Methodist church is presided over by a very able divine, whose name I cannot recall. Hannibal, Mo., being our next step. We find here about 2,000 colored people, many of whom are progressive and industrious and own valuable property. This is the home of the National Protective organization, a Negro fraternal organization with Rev. C. C. McDowell as president. They own a nice three-story brick building, where their headquarters are. They also operate a newspaper called the Home Protective. / They have recently bought a newspaper plant and are doing a great business in job work. It is a worthy organization and should be supported by our race. Dr. O. C. Quinn, the leading physician here, has been sick for several months and is now at Hot Springs, Ark., taking treatment. He has just returned and he has somewhat improved in health. He owns a beautiful home and has a large practice and is a thorough race man. Mr. I. Rudd conducts a lunch room and is doing well. Their churches are in fairly good condition and their schools are better attended this fall than previous years. I did not visit the schools, therefore I cannot give the names of the people. Next week we will begin with Paris, Mo. SHERIFF'S SALE State of Iowa, Polk County, ss: Brown Mercantile company, plaintiff, vs. W. A. Price and Jane Price, defendants. Notice is hereby given.

Bleeding A good remedy for sleepiness is to wet a towel and apply to the back of the neck, pressing it hard up against the base of the brain and fastening over this cloth to prevent too rapid evaporation. The effect will be prompt and pleasant, cooling the brain and inducing a sweet and peaceful full slumber. Another benefit is better sleep for the purpose of helping someone will prove useful to people suffering from overwork, excitement or anxiety. AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS During the last eight years the negroes in Macon county have built largely by their own efforts fifty-three schoolhouses, at a total cost of $40,000. Builders of these schools are to a large extent former slaves, plantation folk and their children, who had no interest in education and no training in organization of any plantation. They where the only incentive to work was a generous lashing from the overseer's whip. They had no ideals of home, of personal comforts, least of all of planning and constructing school buildings. Where, before emancipation, had in exceptional cases, had the negro anywhere heard of designing a building, computing the cost of ground, of various kinds of material or of labor? His but had been constructed and built of this master; nay, even the food he ate and the one-piece garment which he more cost him no concern. This was true all over the world as well as in Macon county. Prior to 1905 nearly every negro school in this county was either a log cabin or a one-room cottage, with one or two wooden windows, one door, a rickety wooden floor or a dirt floor, as chance happened to will it: a leaky roof, decaying logs and blocks of wood, broken-backed chairs and benches for seats; these are the things that made up the edifice and surroundings for the children of the ex-slaves to get an education or a training for a job, better than they had had, certainly; but to others it was wretchedness. And so arguments began to circulate. The people throughout the county were poor. Some few of them were just getting to their feet in the matter of land buying, but the masses were "share-cropers" or tenants. Now, it is in Macon county, it will be remembered, that Tuskegee institute is located. At one of the negro conferences Dr. Booker T. Washington had pressed very close home the matter of schoolhouses, justice to children, employing a teacher and lengthening the school team of four or five months by their own efforts. We have been from a community known as Magnolia: "We want a new school! Help us!" "Help us" meant funds to a certain extent, but most of all it meant somebody with initiative, suggestion, encouragement—and the welding of factions. This last was especially troublesome. The rural colored man is always a victim of the faction. A man of Baptist convictions is unwilling to build a schoolhouse anywhere save face to face with the Baptist church; so it is with a brother of the Methodist faith or of any faith. The people at Magnolia had some money, but how much they needed before they could break ground, build, how to about covering all this, they were at a loss to determine. Tuskegee institute sent down a man, a graduate of Fisk university, who had previous experience in dealing with community folk and in building schools. About half enough money had been raised to begin the work. An appeal to the people for more brought the response that no more would be raised; the people as a mass had lost interest. Faction troubles, religious and social, were boiling at a high heat. The teacher returned to Tuskegee, reported to Dr. By far the longest "unscientific" boundary in the world divides us from British America. It cuts across mountain chains east and west, where nature has grooved the inevitable paths of men north and south; and the close neighborliness thus enforced by geography has thriven and reaped in vast trade, in common prosperity, in growing estates. No fort frougs along the coast. No frougs confront either on the lakes, where the example of disarmament by agreement has long been set for all the world. Aloysius Simms, colored, said to have recently celebrated his one hundred and third birthday, dropped dead while crossing a vacant lot between Railroad avenue and Sherman place, Anacostia, last week. Simms has been a resident of Anacostia most of his life. He resided with Mrs. Mary Williams and Mrs. Ann Covington, daughters, and leaves a number of grandchildren.

Great Britain imported 40,000,000 dozen eggs the first three months this year, as compared with 35,000,000 dozen the first quarter of 1912. The original forests of the United States contained timber in quantity and variety far exceeding that found on any similar tract in the world.

It chanced that a donor in the west had given several hundred dollars to be used in helping the Macon county rural schools. A part of this sum was placed at the disposal of the school's representative, with instructions to return to Magnolia and see what could be done. With this definite plan made out, the teacher returned. Said he to an audience at Magnolia: "A friend who is interested in you, who wants to see you build a school house and educate your children, has sent you some money, under certain conditions. That is, he will give you $50 for every $50 you raise until a sufficient sum is collected. Will you accept? A message from paradise could not have been hailed with greater enthusiasm. That some friend was interested in them, wanted to see them get ahead and had sent them some money personally seemed almost too good to be true. In two months' time they laid down $100 to be covered by $100 from the donor, and work was begun. In six months from the time the representative went down from Tuskegee the school was finished and dedicated amidst shouts and tears of a people in mass, who had just finished their first lesson in the history of devising and constructing a schoolhouse. One of the main features of this lesson was that while wonderfully instructive in itself, it was also a great model exercise. Adjoining communities took courage — Clintonville, Brownsville, Rising Star, Notasulga, one after the other caught the vision of passing from a worm-caten hut to a $600 or $700 building. Even through its shocks of facilities and misunderstandings, each got a little help suggestion, but each played his part to the end. Another very interesting phase of this general school building was that it soldered the white and colored people closer together and won many a local white man to faith in negro education. Some, when the schools were dedicated, put their thoughts in writing. In a letter directed to C. J. Calloway, the director of Tuskegee institute extension work, the mayor of Notasula writes: "It (the new rural school) is a credit to the town, and I feel sure that it will be the means of making not only students more aware as well. I am truly glad to see your people taking so much interest in preparing their young for the duties of citizenship." A committee of white people at Loachapka, Ala., wrote: "We take pleasure in saying in behalf of the white citizenship of Loachapka that we commend the assistance you have given your race in erecting a nice school building, and that we thank the committee of the rural community of Auburn, Ala., says: "We, the white people of this community, wash to say to the friend that is helping the colored people through Booker T. Washington to build better schoolhouses and foster education, indorse and appreciate the aid given the colored people of this community. And this is the sentiment of all concerned." Thus in his new role the negro of Macon South is serving two gallant boys. He is educating himself in the larger duties of citizenship and is converting the white folks to faith in education of the negros.

MODERN BUILDINGS Old-Fashioned, Poorly Lighted, Ill-Ventilated and Often Insanitary Type of Schoolhouse Soon To Be a Thing of the Past. Washington.—The next generation of American public school children will carry on their studies in the most modern buildings used for educational purposes to forge their own identities in the world, according to experts of the United States bureau of education. The old-fashioned, poorly lighted, ill-ventilated and often insanitary type of building to which most of the father and mothers of the present generation attended, and which also exist in large numbers in many cities today, will be a thing of the past if the improvements to be made in school architecture come to pass. The federal educational bureau is just having printed the fourth edition of the popular publication which was first issued less than three years ago on schoolhouses in large American cities, and at the present time plans have been begun for a large new bulletin to be published showing modern rural schoolhouses which have been erected in various progressive communities of the United States. Dr. Fletcher B. Dressler of the University of Alabama, who was the author of the first bulletin, will also write the one to be published on country school and it is expected that the two books will have a greater influence in stimulating 'communities to put up better buildings than anything which has been written in recent years. The federal government is doing everything possible to encourage the construction of better school buildings throughout the whole nation. A recent advance along this line was made when a service was started to lend to rural communities small models of the best type of public school buildings. These will be shipped countywide. Other schools request them and will be used in villages and country communities where it is impossible for members of the school boards to make visits over the country and get ideas of typical buildings. School authorities in practically all of the larger cities are giving more attention to modern school building architecture ornaments today than ever before. The things sought for are not architectural ornaments, but modern designs which will make for efficiency in every way. The value of the modern, ventilation, good light and sanitation today are considered more important than fancy cornices or other useless decorations. The old-time school gable or belfry has practically disappeared in the modern style of architecture, and architects turn their attention to features which will make for the comfort of pupils and increase their efficiency, rather than to design features which in themselves are useless. The school building also contains a waste of public money. More than $70,000,000 is being spent for new buildings in the United States each year, it is estimated, and the government, through its publications, hopes to encourage the use of this money in the very best manner possible. Various municipal and state authorities are making use of the government's service in furnishing information on the standard schoolhouse for the city and if the children of the future generation do not study in the most modern and efficient buildings which can be designed it will not be Uncle Sam's fault. der to assist the manufacturers in canning perfect eggs for winter use. According to the specialists of the department, there is no reason why eggs cannot be broken, canned and kept as an excellent food just the same as other products are canned and kept for use when the fresh supply is low. As in all canning, however, the specialists have had to clean that as essential in having perfect eggs be canned and that they be canned under such conditions of cleanliness and kept in such low temperatures that they have no chance to spoil. Under the new system of canning, the eggs are canned in rooms and with utensils that rival in cleanliness the appointments of the hospital operating room. Everything is sterilized and those who actually break the eggs have to clean their hands much as a surgeon does before operating. Each egg before being broken is canned and the eggs are put into the breaking room. Each egg is broken separately into a cup. If, by any chance, the egg is other than first-class, it is not dumped into the can, but is removed from the breaking room and before the breaker can resume work, she must clean her hands and sterilize all the instruments she has used. The actual breaking is done with eggs at a low temperature, and in a room where the air is cold enough to prevent any change in the nature of the egg. The cans of eggs are then sealed and frozen and kept in a cool room until the time of egg shortage. Through these means the specialists are confident that good eggs can be canned at the time when eggs are plentiful, and thus provide an ample supply of rea- Geologist of Repute Prof. Bailey Willis, who is returning to South America to complete his work, was loaned to the Argentine government two and a half years ago by the United States geological and geodetic bureau to conduct a survey of the Andes and Patagonia.

Of Interest to Farm Women. the United States, requesting them to give him information as to how the department of agriculture can best serve the needs of the farm women. These letters were addressed "To housewives in the homes of the official crop correspondents," and was sent to the full list of crop correspondents for transmission to the women members of their households. With each letter was supplied a return envelope in which the women can forward their suggestions. This inquiry results from the receipt of a letter addressed to the secretary in which the writer said: "The farm women are the most neglected factor in the rural problem and she has been especially neglected by the national department of agriculture." This letter was written not by a woman, but by a broad-minded man, so thoroughly in touch with the agricultural and domestic needs of the country that his opinions have great weight. Following the receipt of this letter, the secretary determined that the best way for the department to learn how to give these women the fullest possible aid and service which their important place in agricultural production warrants, was to write to the women themselves and ask them to make their own suggestions. In the letter these women are invited to give individual answers to the letter or to discuss the matter in their church societies or women's organizations and submit answers representing the combined opinions of women in their life with similarities. The answers are requested not later than November 15th, and this date is set because it will give the women time after harvest to consider the matter and discuss it with their women neighbors. This letter went to about 20 leading farms in each of the 2,800 counties of the United States. Their answers, it is expected, will represent the views and opinions of upwards of 500,000 farm women. These answers will be carefully considered by the specialists of the department having to do with that branch of agricultural activity. Bats Should Not Be Killed. tucky. In reply to a request for information as to how the bats may be kept out of houses, the Biological Survey states that the only way is to make dwellings bat proof by stopping up the holes where the bats nest and that it is impracticable to kill them with sulphur or other fumes as they will die in the house and their dead bodies become a nuisance. The holes may be discovered by watching at twilight to see where the bats come out, of the building, and they should be stopped up at night while the bats are abroad. As a rule bats do not migrate from one section of the country to another, but when driven from some habitation, as a tree or cave, which has been disturbed, they attend attention by selecting a new abode. Bats eat nothing but insects, and consequently are ordinarily a benefit rather than a plague to a neighborhood, as they destroy mosquitoes, and a great number of other insects that harm crops and orchards. The superstition that they seek to tangle themselves in women's hair is without foundation, according to scientists of the department. On the contrary, the ordinary bat is a harmless creature and a distinctly valuable animal economically. This, of course, does not apply to the vampire bat of the south which sucks the blood of animals and has done much to encourage the general prejudice against all bats. Too Much Loose Money an order warning reckless citizens against leaving loose coins lying around. Hereafter coins must be tied in bundles or inclosed in envelopes whenever the patron of a rural route wants stamps from a carrier and leaves the necessary amount in the wayside box. The attention of postmasters at rural delivery offices and of rural carriers" said Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Blakeley, "is again directed to the fact that rural carriers are not required to collect loose coins from rural mail boxes. "Patrons should inclose coins in an envelope, wrap them securely in paper or deposit them in a coin-holding receptacle so they can be easily and quickly taken from boxes, and carriers will be required to lift such coins, and, when accompanied by mail for dispatch, attach the requisite stamps."

PIES THAT ALL ENJOY PIES THAT ALL ENJOY AMONG THE VERY REST OF DE$ SERT CONFECTIONS. Delicious Chocolate Pie That Calls for a Number of Ingredients—Lemon Meringue—Pumpkin Pie Season Fast Approaching. For a delicious chocolate pie follow this recipe: Bake a shell. In the meantime melt a square of chocolate, scraped, in a saucepan with two-thirds of a cupful of sugar. Heat two cups of milk and add to it the melted chocolate and sugar, and a pinch of salt. Then mix two tablespoonfuls of cornstarch with a little cold milk, and add it to the heated mixture. Let it rest for a few minutes until the mixture smooth and thick. Heat the yolks of two eggs and add them to the mixture just as you take it from the fire. Pour this chocolate into the cooked crust and spread over it a meringue made of the two-egg whites beaten stiff with two heaping tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar. Prune pie is made with an uncooked crust. Fill this with stewed prunes and bake it. Make a stiff meringue of three-egg whites beaten with three tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar. In a saucepan, heat the mixture then add the meringue, put it into the oven until it is slightly browned, and remove. Lemon meringue pie is such a favorite that almost every cook has her favorite way of making it. This is one good way: Put a tablespoonful of cornstarch, three-fourths of a cupful of sugar and a pinch of salt in a bowl and whisk until the mixture is thick. Lemon and the juice of a big one. Pour a cupful of boiling water slowly over this mixture and cook it in a double boiler until it is smooth and thick. Pour the mixture into a cooked pie crust, spread it with a meringue made of the whites of three eggs stiffly beaten with three tablespoonfuls of granulated sugar and brown it in a pan. For the best peach pie imaginable a bake crust, fill it either with raw or cooked peaches, stoned, skinned and halved, and spread it with sweetened whipped cream. This is a good rule to follow for custard pie. Line a pie plate with rich crust and fill it with a mixture made from two slightly beaten eggs, three tablespoonfuls of sugar, a pinch of salt, some grated nutmeg and a cupful and a half of milk. Pumpkin pie will soon be a pos- bility. To make it, mash enough stewed pumpkin to measure three cupsful. Add two cupsful of milk, one cupful of sugar, two beaten eggs and half a teaspoonful of cinnamon. Pour this mixture into pie plates lined with good crust and bake slowly. Eggless Cookies. Here is a recipe for fine cookies that need no eggs and will keep for weeks in a closed jar. One large cup of butter and lard mixed, one cupful sugar, one cupful molasses, one-half cupful water, one tablespoonful of ginger, one of cinnamon, one teaspoonful of cloves, one teaspoonful of soda and four for stiff dough. Roll the dough four for stiff dough. Pour over the soda a little boiling water before using it. If your dough is mixed properly, the cookies will be shiny and will spake five dozen. This recipe will make five dozen. Custard Pudding. Three tablespoonfuls of cornstarch wet in cold water to dissolve it, and a pinch of salt. Pour over one pint of boiling water. Cook five minutes, stirring constantly. Add the whites of three eggs, beaten to a stiff froth. Wet a mold in cold water and pour the mixture in. Make a custard cup and pour three eggs, one half cup of sugar, and one cup of milk. Let it come to a boll, but do not allow it to curdle: Flavor and when ready to serve, turn the white part onto a platter and pour the custard around it. Green Beans and Sausage Chop nine one pint of cooked green beans. Season with half a teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and place a layer in the bottom of a deep gratin dish. Pour in one cup of milk. Prick the casing of one pound of sausage and lower them in a frying basket into a kettle of boiling water; count sixty, then remove and dispos. over the potatoes. Pour over a cup of thick white sauce and the remainder of the beans, with a layer of cracker crumbs on top. Let bake for about fifteen minutes. Serve for luncheon or supper. Boiled Salad Dressing Three eggs, one teaspoon mustard, two teaspoons salt, a pinch of cayenne, two tablespoons sugar, two tablespoons melted butter, one teacup cream, one teacup vinegar. Beat yolk well, then add dry ingredients, then add the cream, then butter and the beaten whites. Have vinegar warm. Add the cream and the butter. stir all together in double boiler to thickness of boiled custard. It will take about 15 minutes. Will keep for weeks in covered glasses. Olive Salad Mash two anchovies and add them to French dressing. Stone 24 olives and chop them rather fine. Cut one boiled potato and one boiled beet into dice. Chop a small cucumber pickle. Line a salad bowl with lettuce leaves, sprinkle over the gherkin, then the olives, then the beet and potato. Dust with salt, paprika and white pepper. Chop two hard boiled eggs very fine and place them over the top. Sprinkle lightly with three table-spoons of sherry wine, pour over the French dressing, toss and serve. Chocolate Sirup. Melt four squares of unsweetened chocolate and add one and three-quarter cups of sugar and one-eighth of a teaspoon of salt, then pour on gradually, while stirring constantly, one and one-half cups of boiling water. Stir until smooth. Bring to the boiling point and boil five minutes. Cool and turn into a jar. Keep in the ice-box to use, as needed. SAYS CAPITAL CITY IS REAL SUMMER RESORT SERVIA'S GEN. GRANT DISLIKES PUBLICITY DUCHESS DE CHAULNES TO WED PARIS DANDY HENRY MORGENTHAU. NEW ENVOY TO TURKEY Why is it when a cornfield congressman comes to Washington—and nobody made him come and some even expressed a willingness to come in his stead—he immediately poses as a marry and plains of the climate? Most of the members who complain the loudest come from climes that are hotter than Honduras, writes Mrs. William P. Borland, wife of Representative Borland of the Fifth Maryland district, in the Kansas City Star. A. When one was reared on a farm where they thanked heaven when it was only 102 degrees in the shade, and when one has hoed potatoes and pitched hay with a handful of grass in the crown of his hat to prevent stinkrope, why is it so unbearable to sit all day in a shady office (furnished by the government) on the shady summit of Capitol Hill, fanned by breezes from the Potomac as well as from an extra large electric fan furnished by the government. Is there too much hot air on Capitol Hill? Do not blame the climate. If we would open our hearts to the truth, we would acknowledge that Washington is an ideal summer resort. There are some hot days here, but Washington's thermometer has been in no wise as anpiring as that at Atlantic City, nor its people so nearing. Where is the summer resort to be found where there are no hot days?

In lieu of breakfast, he gulp a small cup of strong black coffee, which sus- tains him until the midday meal—a ponderous affair. The general eats but once a day.

At night, it is a fairy paradise with the lights around the basin and on the Long Bridge reflected in glimmering streams of light. Further up the river the canoes and the houseboats with their many timber and stone basins and their young people singing in chorus, make a scene not to be surpassed except in Venice. Instead of being a grouch about the weather one were to join a boat club that endless pleasure one could have on the river and at the small shark waltzes at the boat clubs. Another point of vantage occurs to me where Washington scores. It is not the Adamsmen Eden that most summer resorts are. There are men in bachelor bachelor, real men—not the sort who masquerade in flannels on the summer hotel veranda. Washington is rich in good places to eat in the summer time, from the most fashionable roof garden to the tea houses in Rock Creek Park and on both sides of the river at Great Falls. For those who desire to drive gas cars there are lovely chicken dinners on almost all the good roads out of Washington within a radius of a Sunday drive. Then there is the river down stream, where one can be exclusive in a small chartered boat or democratic for a quarter on the large boats, the regulatory institutions throws in grates and cloaking. What summer resort can boat the joys of our national zoo. One cannot be a misnombre nor long contemplate suicide if one takes frequent doses of consuming with the monkeys.

Of course, the Shonts family fortune doesn't make her any less attractive. But the first instinct would be to take with a grain or two of salt the recent gossip about the duchess. For the latest word from Paris has it that the duchess expects to surprise her friends by the early announcement of her engagement to—now whom you think?—the French dandy and fashion plate, Andre de Fouquier. Remember the 18 trunks and the seven handbags that brought over esthetic young man to New York and Philadelphia last spring? Well, the young man all this previous bagge brought along is the same Andre. He came to wear the clothes the luggage disgorged, to show Americans how far a masculine clothing may go on a Paris boulevard without being arrested and also to lecture about dress at a Philadelphia department store when a special matinee was given for women only.

To maintain health, a mature man or woman needs just enough food to repair the waste and supply energy and body heat. ‘The habitual con- sumption of more food than is neces- sary for these purposes is the prime cause of stomach troubles, rheume- tism and disorders of the kidneys.

LABORS AMONG THE MASSES Founder and Principal of Piney Woods Country Life School Delivers Thrilling Address For Daughters of American Revolution—Battle For Human Rights Must Continue, He says. Marshalltown, Ia. — Lawrence C. Jones, founder and principal of the Piney Woods Country Life school near Braxton, Miss., was one of the main speakers at the annual meeting of the Daughters of the American Revolution held in this town Friday, Sept. 19. Mr. Jones received his high school education here, earning his money by working at the Hotel Pilgrim. He had a room in the basement of the hotel during the four years in which he was in school. It is quite significant, therefore, that here, where he struggled up through ignorance and poverty a few years ago, he is thus honored by the wealthiest white people of the town as their guest and contributing to their thought and literary aspirations. Mr. Jones organized the Piney Woods Country Life school under the pine trees of south Mississippi in 1000 without land or financial aid, but his ambition to do something to uplift his race soon attracted the attention of both white and colored people, who gradually came to his assistance. In his speech, which was listened to with close attention, Mr. Jones in part said: Ladies, Daughters American Revolution—Appearing before you today, I do so with a heart brimming over with emotion, which feel that my tongue can express The American Revolution! The very name thrills the heart and spreads before the mind a wondrous picture of the past—a panoramic view of colonial days. We see the colonial mansion, the cottage and the Negro quarters, the farms and the fashioned gardens of the almost omnipresent bells of the spinning wheel, the bells in the pasture, the ring of the scythe and the life of industrial and commercial life, which was but A. B. LAWRENCE C. JONES. the beginning of the prosperity and progress that have made of this the great nation that it is today. Nowhere in the world has the spirit of liberty the same significance in this country as with that ideal of "liberty or death," has gone forth the new meaning of the old world. Beginning in the period of '76, coming on down to '81 and in our own actions, the tolerance of the protracted disturbance in Mexico is but an evidence of this feeling of liberty and the ideal of broad mindedness which give us the privilege to privilege for its ideal. These are problems that no cannon can solve, situations whose adjustment lies beyond the pomp and circumstance of war, beyond the jurisdiction and adaptability of man. Since this is true it has fallen to woman to woman to woman and among all women where are fitted to assume these duties than you, the daughters of those in whose veins flowed the fighting blood of the nation? It is your birthright to be all that is good and true and just within yourselves and to desire the same for all. The fathers will tell you that you fought to save you they fell, and their oath to their liead." Daughters of the American Revolution, I stand before you today one of a race whose history, while vastly different, is strangely and strongly intertwined with that of your country; we have heard on the ground of your history; we have heard the same drums and bugles; we have thrilled 'neath the flutter of the same flag. Your people have occupied the seats of the mighty mine have sat on the lowly seats, ye despite the woes and the hardships many golden threads of sympathy, kind regard and fellow feeling, and now, just rounding out the fifteenth year of freedom, we feel that we have much to thank you for. We expect to have more to do than the faith that it is not a vein vision or an evanescent dream, there are many among us who hope to see the day when this our country, your country, will have much to thank us for. We wish to be contributors, producers, helpers, more than we have ever done. But this is the ideal of those who have had a fighting chance. You will rejoice to hear that it was a woman with these high ideals, Miss Emily Howland, who extended the first helping hand to the little school in the pinyin woods. You will be still happier to know that was a woman. Jasmin G. Berrillham, who was the first lady in our own fair low to lend a hand to this same cause. Mrs. James F.

WORK OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION WORK OF THE NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION High Tribute Paid to its Efforts by W. Anthony Aery. Mr. W. Anthony Aery, press agent at the Hampton (V.A.) institute, pays a high tribute to the efforts, work and achievements of the National Negro Press association in an article which recently appeared in the Southern Workman. The article in full is as follows: Widely publicity for the facts of Negro progress and problems of race adjustment is being everywhere secured through heartier and more systematic co-operation among Negro editors and correspondents. Today men have a better chance than they have ever had before to secure accurate and timely facts concerning the struggles and successes of colored people, especially in the south. An important factor in the widening and deepening of public interest in the Negro as a progressive and vital element in American civilization is the National Negro Press association, organized in 1900 and given new life in 1012 at the Chicago meeting of the National Negro Business league. The officers and members of the Negro Press association are working harmoniously "for the highest development of Negro journalism." Their policy is that of printing "the news without fear or favor, giving a true reflex of existing conditions without concealing evil." Their policy also includes the publication of a Negro newspaper and publishers' directory and the establishment of higher standards in advertising, business methods and news service for the public. The work on the directory is being ably done by Henry Allen Boyd of Nashville, Tenn., the national corresponding secretary. The problems of working out a plate service and of developing a reciprocal news service are being worked out by a subcommittee of the executive for action at the annual meeting of the association to be held in Philadelphia in August. The white papers are coming to realize that the public is interested in Negro progress. They are printing as news items the advance of the American Negro in landowning, home building, community and school improvement. The Negro papers are devoting more space to live news concerning their own people and less to sensational material in which the ways, and not the best ways, of white people are exploited. In short, there is a gratifying growth in the common interest of giving all the people all the news of mutual progress and good will. The officers of the National Negro Press association are: R. W. Thompson, Washington, president; Joseph S. Jones, Cincinnati, O. and Gurley Brewer, Indianapolis, Ind., vice presidents; Henry Allen Boyd, Nashville, Tenn., and Charles Sumner Smith, Minneapolis, Minn., secretaries; John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Ia., treasurer; N. Barnett Dodson, New York city, chairman of the executive committee. Elks to Felicitate at Atlantic City.
