ANTI-LYNCH RALLY A SUCCESS. The anti-lynch rally held at St. Paul's A, M. e. Church at St. Paul's evening was a success from every point of view. A good sized crowd included some of the leading white citizens of the city, was in attendance and the reports from the National Negro Masonic Cnogress, the National Negro Medical association and the National Association of Colored Women were enjoyed by all present, after which collection of $75 was raised and forwarded to national headquarters at New York City as Des Moines' contribution toward the $10,000 anti-lynchning fund subscription which were to be closed to lay. Some of our citizens refused to contribute because of their doubts of the possibility of accomplishing the object, namely, the stopping of lynching, but eradication of whether this be accomplished the demonstration of last Monday evening's meeting resulted in the appearance on Tuesday of an editorial in the Evening Tribute on "The Negroes of Des Moines," which editorial itself has already been the cause of several dollars being added to the anti-lynchning fund and which will unquestionably be worth more to the Negro citizens of this community than many times the amount of money contributed by them in the rally. Negroes of Des Moines The Negroes of Des Moines last Monday evening raised a fund of more than $60 as their part of a general fund now being raised by Mopfie Story of Boston, at one time president of the American Bar association, to fight southern lynchings with. Mr. Story has given $1,000 himself and another Boston sympathizer with the colored race has given $1,000. Just what the plan is to be has not been disclosed. But Mr. Story is confident that lynching can be made unpopular even in the states where it is now most frequent. At the meeting last Monday evening interesting reports were made of the recent meeting of colored Masons in Chicago, of the meeting of the Negro medical association at Kansas City, and of a recent conference of Negro women, all of them well attenued from Des Moines. Among other thing the Negroes are doing, the Negroes of Iowa are now raising a fund of $500 to pay for a painted portrait ofooker Washington, whita is to be hung in memorial hall at the state c-pitol. The painting is now in progress in Paris, where the celebrated Negro painter, Tanner, is putting his best inspiration into it. The spirit of the meeting was that the Negro must do for himself. He must say his own way in everything. He must not rely on the help of others, however gratefully help may be accepted. He must set about raising funds for everything he ought to do in the community. He must fight his own battle, and enjoy the victory when he wins it. Two young Negro girls from Des Moines go to Iowa City this week to enter the freshman class in the university college of liberal arts. The Negroes are putting great emphasis on education. The Evening Tribute last winter asked Mr. Mansfield what class of people in the city made the least appeal for help to the humane society. He answered at once, "The Negroes." The Negroes are doing a great deal more than anybody but their own leaders know to make themselves worthy member of the American community. It is too bad that they are judged habitually by what is heard of DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 15, 1916. Younker Brothers them in Police court. Once in a while their white neighbors ought to see them at their beat. - The Evening Tribute. HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS' CLUB. The Des Moines High School Girl's club held their first meeting since the summer vacation on last Sunday afternoon at the home of their honorary president, Miss Mildred Griffin, 1513 East Walker street. An impromptu program was rendered, to which each member present contributed a musical or literary number and concluded with farewell addresses by Miss Mildred Griffin, honorary president, and Miss Mamie Diggs, chairman of the executive committee, both of whom left this morning for Iowa City, where he will enter the liberal arts college of the State university next Monday. Among the distinguished visitors who were present and addressed the club were Miss Beulah Wheeler, a sophomore student in the State university; Mrs. S. Joe Brown, president of the Iowa Federation of Colored Women and founder of the club, and Atty. S. Joe Brown, grand master of Negro Masons of Iowa. At the conclusion of the meeting a dainty repast was served by Miss Griffin, assisted by her mother and Miss Edythe Jones of North High. Rev. S. L. Birt St. Paul's A. i. A. E. church, Second and Center streets, under the pastorate of Rev. S. L. Birt, is closing one of the most successful years in the history of its organization and is entering upon a new era of Christian activities. A happy culmination of a slow but steady growth under many pastors and the loyalty of members and friends. High churchmen and men of wide experiences have viewed the ground and concur in the opinion that the African M. E. church has a great opportunity in this thriving city, the gateway to the west. Industrial migration from the southland has set in. Iowa will receive her quota. Des Moines, the capital of the state, will attract many. Our churches of color must be on the lookout. Pastor Birt has met numbers of these men in the street, at work and has come in contact with humanity in all its phases. As a consequence large crowds have attended church services; 249 accessions at regular preaching services; 148 accessions through revival meeting. Total number accessions, 397. The whole burden must not rest on the pastor. The members have a responsibility, extending welcome and providing comfort and dispensing good cheer. The trustees of the church have had two financial campaigns this conference year. The first, held in November, netted $718; the second, in July $1,387. The stewardess board has collected over $1,800. The Sunday school, A. C. E. Missionary society and other organizations have very active. The social side has not been neglected. Hilbert Earl Stewart, pianist; Williams Jubilee Singers; Dr. J. A. Gregg, A. B. D. D., traveler and lecturer, and local talent have added to this feature. Rev. S. L. Howard, connectional evangelist; Revs. Mohammed and Kalane, native Africans; Rt. Rev. I. N. Ross, bishop of the Fifteenth Episcopal district, gave graze the pupit. Pastor Birt takes this means of thanking those who have contributed to this effort and to the comfort of his family. He leaves on the 19th for the seat of the Chicago conference, Institutional church, Chicago. EDITOR'S OBSERVATIONS. This observation letter will cover our Chicago visit during the great Masonic conclave, which was recently held there. We will begin to be Moines and motor overland in company with my wife, two children, Anna and Nelson, and Mrs. Mollie Watkins. For one who has no automobile knowledge and knew not the roads, with nothing save automobile maps, you can to some extent realize how we felt, not knowing how the weather would be nor the accidents that might befall us when our claxton sounded the start on an 800 mile trip at 6 o'clock a.m, m bidding farewell to dear Des Moines, the scenes of my college schooling and my home during all of my married life, where my children many strong and beloved relatives and friends, will indeed cause a person to enhance they alue of home sweet home. Within about two hours we were at Mrs. Battles' in Colafax, and many tools that he has. He has just purchased a life passenger automobile and he is going to learn to run it soon. Mr. R. G. Craig is an old citizen. He worked in the Iowa legislature. Mrs. R. Redrick is an old and respected citizen. She, like Mr. Craig, owns her own home. We soon made a dash for Iowa City, but stopped a few moments for rest and refreshments. While there we met the only colorful, Mr. W. H. Meyes, who has lived there for about forty years. He is a barber and owns valuable property. He is improving and remodeling his property. Two hours later we entered Iowa City, where is located our great state university. This is strictly a college town. The few colored families here are doing well. Mrs. H. R. Moore on College street formerly lived in Des Moines and is running a first class hair dressing parlor and is doing well. J. W. Thompson is still here and has charge of a large fraternity frat. Mr. Chas. Alberts is in the contracting business. He is doing well and owns a nice home. Mrs. D. Patterson and L. Dunnegan are here and doing well, also T. McDavis. Away for Davenport for the night, a design of sixty-five miles. We reached here at 7:30 o'clock, stopping with Mr. Eugene Green over night and spending the next day here. We left this town Saturday morning across the Father of Waters, the prairie to Sterling, where we struck the Lincoln highway, claimed to be the longest and finest highway in America. It is graded up from two to six feet high and laid with crushed stone, which makes the surface rough and uneven, but the most serious objection that it is only about twelve to fourteen feet wide, which is entirely too narrow for large cars to pass one another at a thirty mile speed. Most traffic along the side of this highway. It must be widened and the surface made smoother. At Sterling we met a Mr. Clark, one of our subcribers, who works at the Elks club. From here we made Dixon, DeKalb, Rochelle, Batavia, Wheaton and Chicago, the coming metropolis of this western hemisphere. Here lives more people in this city than the whole state of Iowa and about as many colored people as there are white people in Des Moines. The colored people come near having an equal chance here than any other city in America. Here you can view them at their best and highest civilization. They have many doctors, many lawyers, many teachers, many dentists, many musicians and many ministers and many skilled mechanics who are reckoned as good as the best in any race. Dr. Daniel H. Williams as a surgeon has no superiors, also Dr. Edward Hall has a national reputation. Lawyer Edward Morris, S. Long Williams, Edward Wright and N. D. Nennison are very able and successful lawyers. One is assistant attorney general for the state, one is corporation attorney for the city of Chicago, one is city counsel for the municipal court. We have two members of the Illinois legislature and four candidates this month for the public nomination. A colored regiment with all colored officers, with Colonel John R. Marshall, retired, who was the first real colonel of our race. He was succeeded by Colonel Dennison. With one colored alderman in the present city council, the first for our race in this city. With more representative city positions than ever held by the colored people. In fact the Chicago Daily Tribune recently said that the Chicago city hall looked like an Uncle Tom's Cabin with eight colored palettes and detectives. With a $100,000. Y. M. C. A seven stories high, forty-two turches and missions. With Masonic, Old Fellows, Pythian buildings. With dozens of drug stores and many restaurants, groceries, dry goods stores and confectionaries, wi numerous barber shops and many other of the diversified industries controlled by our people we must say here lies the hope of the race, with the thousands of beautiful homes and fairs owned, we are really optimistic for our future. The social side of our visit was. On Sunday we attended services for the churches and the Good Fellowship League meeting held by Mrs. Ida Wells Barnett and spoke at most of these meetings we stopped just across from the Y. M. C. A, at 3804 Wabash avenue. We met many of our former Moines and Iowa towns. Among them was Rev. Timothy Reeves and wife, Rev. Brice W. Taylor and wife, Rev. James P. Higgins and wife, James R. Weeks and wife, Mrs. Rapid, and Mr. Mrs. Alex Tillery, who once lived in our city also Omaha. Neb. His mother is living with him. He and his good wife served a fine 6 o'clock dinner to ye editor, his wife, children and Mrs. Mollie Watkins and Gus Watkins. A very enjoyable evening was spent, Mr. and Mrs. Tillery are doing nicely. They belong to St. Thomas Episcopal church. This same week that we Masons were in Chicago the people held their annual street carnival. It extended from Twenty-eighth to Thirty-eight street on Street. Indeed it was a live place at night time. The Misses Virginia Steele and Garnet Hamilton McGee are students in the Provident hospital, who are taking a course in nursing and are both making a good standing, high in their grades. Those from Iowa at this week that we met are about twenty-five. They are areas follows. G. M. S. Joe Brown and wife, P. G. M. Austin A. Bland and wife, P. G. M. John L. Thompson and wife and children, P. G. M. E. T. Banks, Gus Watkins and sister, Mollie Watkins, Mr and Mrs. Art Wilson, C. M. H. Marshall of Davenport, Morris Mills Young, Mr. Bush of Clinton, Mrs. A.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS Dr. John Patricia Turner, one of Philadelphia's foremost outbound physicians and a medical inspector in the public schools, has been assigned the task of organizing a new town for the African move in the mountains of North Carolina. The trust over which the novel town will be laid out covers more than 4,000 acres and is located on the main line of the Steamboat Air Line railway, with a direct route to the marriages of the world. Doctor Turner is authority for the statement that the town will be unique in many ways and will be a standard for the establishment of Negro communities in the future. Plane for the new Negro town are being worked out at Charitinque V Y., and by those employed in the establishment and maintenance of Pinehurst, N. C. No name has been inserted into the town and the streets will be named after illustrious Negro men and women. The charter of the new Negro men will restrict ownership of all property to persons of African descent. It is proposed to make the place the center for the development of Negro men. A university and industrial school are to be features. Two modern hotels will be established one for plaza and the other for white courts, who may visit the community to observe its workings. There are to be raised figs, sugar cane, tobacco and wheat on the land neighboring the farm, every home of which will have the vegetable and flower garden. The industries will include the making of alli, sugar flour, tobacco, steel and machinery, according to Doctor Turner. All of these plants will employ Negro laborers. Every opportunity will be given Negro laborers to become efficient in the industrial school, the paramount den of the whole society being cooperation. John T. Patrick of North Carolina, founder of Southern Pines and South Mount, N. C., is the principal financial factor of the project. He is a noted official of the Sea Board Lone railway and is deeply interested in the development of the colored people in North Carolina. At the Negro education convention at Washington, the question "Should the Education of the Negro and White Youth be Identified?" was taken at the morning session. Proof. J. E. B. Mitten, principal of Peabody school, Wiltshire, N. C., leading in the discussion. He was followed by J. E. B. Mitten, president of Agricultural and Medical college, Greensboro, N. C., who differed from Professor Bonner, saying that each one had particular environments and characteristics which must be trained and cultivated. Professor Jayman, president of the State college, Doerer, Dell, brought forth choices when he said "Give the Negro a chance as long as you can and as full a training as you can. It is impossible to teach a boy scientific agriculture until that boy has learned to read and write. That is the formation must first be laid, and for industrial education the training is then the same up to a certain point. Beyond that point the boy or girl begins to operation and amphibians is given to one line of work. Give him the best start possible." A resolution was offered by Col. George T. Wasson to the effect that the congress indorse Hughson and Pairehanks for president and vice president, but after a lengthy discussion a The general life of a nation such as America, composed of many groups and interests in complicated alliances and opposition, can only be successful when each of those groups is fairly self-conscious. When every group knows both its capabilities and its rights, uses the former and insists upon the latter, then we shall have a nation that is both progressive and civilized and free from slavery. We are far from that now, but with every new organization of self-expression on the part of a group we come nearer to it. (One such expression that may play an important part in circulating our life is the Champion Magazine, of which the first number has just been issued. This magazine, edited by the well-known Negro poet, Fenton Johnson, having an associate editors Emory Braga Scott, Hinge Diamond and Inex Cantley, is devoted to the service of the Negro race, and apparently aims to cover every feature of Negro activity—business, literature, artistic and athletic—in a fashion that combines the freshness of news and illustrated news, at A Salt Lake City man is the inventor of an undershot water wheel that will run when wholly submerged in a stream, the blades folding on the upward side.

It was confirmed that the time of the congress were no broad and no important to allow politics to be inferred. Nelson Creeks of Kensington City made an appeal for the passage of the original resolution, saying that all right-thinking colored men believed in it and favored it. Because of an incomplete roll of delegates x one on the resolution was deferred until a later session. A distinguished vote to the congress was introduced in the person of Bishop L. N. Rose of the A. M. K. Church. He made a short address saying in part as follows: "I assume you this line has been very pertinent to me I have seen an amity ingrown in my business that I have employed two and three associates and I failed even to consider until discovering that you were in session. I feel that I must it myself in my respect in and a distinguished body of educators and care institutions." "I have the sight as an American citizen, who for 40 years has stood in the forefront championing the cause of the rights of men, to say that out of one blood God created all men to live upon the face of the earth one able to regulate the actions of men. "Anything that awors of difference or discrimination is a universal or universal of the principles instigated by the King of Kings. Everything the white man uses the black man ought to have. The only way to solve this question is faith in God, right being, spirit column and mindhood. Turn on the headlight to find the path of faith and follow it unencumbered to the soul. With faith in God, march on saying as you go. Give me liberty or give me death." --- There is a plan to award a suitable monument to mark the grave of Jorge Dean who was a colored missionary worker of northern Virginia. Jorge Dean who died May 1, 1971, and who is buried in the cemetery attached to Calvary chapel in Prince William county, Virginia, are held in affiliation memorabilia not only by many colored people but by many white persons who support the attained as the result of her thousand missionary work. She was the founder of the Friary churches in northern Virginia and of the Mississippi Industrial school as well as of the Union Baptist Sunday School Convention of Northern Virginia and the Northern Virginia Baptist association. The building of Calvary chapel was her first work, and she was buried there, about a quarter of a mile from her late home near Sudley Springs.

The Negro population of Detroit has increased nearly 150 per cent during the last six years, according to estimating made by the Associated Churches. The Negro population now is fixed at about 15,000, as compared with 8,000 shown by the federal census in 1910. The heavy increase is accounted for by the fact that a number of local industrial companies are importing Negroes from the South in cartoon lots for work in local factories.

DARING DEEDS PERFORMED BY KNIGHTS OF AIR Feats of British Aviators in Somme Campaign Related by Correspondent. GREAT HELP TO ARTILLERY Flying Man, Ringed by White Puff Clouds of Exploding Shells, Direct Deadly Fire Droon Foam-Many Musicians Among Pilots. London.—Mr. Philip Gibbs, a correspondent with the British armed in the field, sends to the Daily Chronicle an interesting article dealing with the British expedition in the air and its vital solution to the operations of the Sounie He writer. "All through the outfit of Pleasantly most of us have kept glancing up into the sky across the enemy's lines from day to day and looking for a Prussian aircraft, it is a rare bird." Now and again when our living men are not our because the clouds are lying low and it is a shinday, as they call it, a hostile machine smokes through the mist and drops a few bombs and goes full speed back again and more often, but not very often, a flight of Pressions will come in a gang through a clear sky and attack one or more of our scouts if they can be sure of having all the odds in their favor. Behind their own lines they are more hold and there is nothing wrong with their courage as individual fighters, and lie in wait in the crossroads of the air like modern Black Knights (with the from Cross as their badge) to defend their territory from all intruders—not, however, with any great success—and to provide exciting combat for our own knights arent. But across our lines they venture rarely. During the first week of the battle, which began on July 1, the hostile machines were invisible, and yet during all this time of fighting we cannot go up to the lines without seeing our own acrophanes flying above the shell fire in Russian territory. Ringed by White Puff Clouds. "The 'Archies' are flying at them, singing them round with white puff clouds, which burst very close, so close that one holds one's breath or speaks a whisper—They've got him!"—until a second later one can see the airplane skimming onward steadily and quite carelessly of these explosions which follow on the trail of their wings. Below these flying men of ours shells are crashing and smoke is vomiting up, and villages are burning, and there is all the tumult of battle, but they circle round as aloud as the winged gods themselves, it seems, from all this earthy strife—yet not aloud, because they help to direct the thundershoot, as some of the old gods did. "So far from proving on our side of the lines, these pilots and observers make a daily habit of going for far journeys into the enemy's zone, often as far as Bapamme, which is a dozen miles beyond our own trenches, and to places like Martinpich and Courcolette and Flers. A few days ago they set Martinpich on fire, and it was still burning when they flew over it again next day. "On July 28 four of our aeroplanes paid a surprise call on Mons, the scene of our earliest fighting two years ago, and reminded the enemy of our contemptible little army' of those days by flying low and dropping bombs on the rolling stock in the railway station and upon sheds full of munitions. They were leisurely in their circlings, and stayed until fires had exploded at four different points and much ammunition had been blown up. They they came home to dinner. "Every day and all day long they are out and about, across the Prussian lines, observing for our artillery and directing the fire of our guns upon the enemy's batteries and other targets which they have seen below with their FORTY YEARS TO GET SWITCH Pupil Returned With Birch to Receive Switching Promised in Boyhood.'

This word, as indulently and sufficiently done, has given us an indiscriminate mastery of observation, which the enemy no longer uses. The Persian generals now have to shoot mostly by the arm, and although they are very wise in defence, it is not the same thing as being able to direct their life by direct observation of results. Our airmen have been of our service in the daily battle of guns, and it is margely due to their dights that our artillery has been able to destroy many of the enemy's batteries. One has seen batteries reported active by one machine every allied in ten minutes and driver hits were made on five or more batteries. On July 21, one of our air squadrons controlled one driver hits in the enemy's batteries. Those things set. The knocking out of an opposing battery means less loss of life to our infantry and a greater certainty of progress. It is the hardest blow that can be given, for this is a battle of guns and every battery destroyed is better than the killing of a conch or at least the easiest tag to take it.

"So the explosives from tiny to large and the count is getting tightened for his guns and withdrawing some of them at least to safer places. "The fervorlessness of our men is not a virtue with them. It is a natural instinct. They attack anew odds with the guns of schoolbogs who ring themselves into a football scrummage. Literally, the enemy is put to flight by these modern men of ours, as when the other day one of our pilots died at five hostile machines attacking one of our squads and drove them off, and as when a day or two ago, two others attacked four Fokkers—the deadly Fokker, as it used to be mistaken, and drove them down into their own lines. "They are a new type of men these pilots and observers of the Royal Flying Corps. It is difficult to pin them or to account for them. They seem to have been born to fly. For the most part they are very young men—boys of nineteen or twenty—though older men, twice their age and more, are found here and there, having come out of professions like the law and the civil service and taken to the air like ducks to water, but surprised with them settees. The younger men are clown out, fine and deliberately made fellows as far as I know them, rather highly strung and nervous in temperament. "It is quite curious that many of them are men of great musical talent. In one squadron I know there are nearly 20 men who are all very full of musical talent. One of them, a stripping, came out of the trenches to volunteer as an airman, with long screens of music which he had written down 'out of his head'; as children say, without hearing a note of it played until he came back. At night, when dusk creeps through the sky, and one by one the homing birds fly down (there is always an anxious question about the squadron commander, who is the best helover), the flying men settle round the piano in the aerodrome, and one of them brings out his violin and plays it with a master tome, and another sings in a bass voice that may be heard one day at Covent Garden, and through the evening the men take turns at the piano, to play what comes into their heads and out of their hearts. "This link between music and flight may be a coincidence in the case of one squadron (though I have heard of it elsewhere), but it may be that flight is the new music of life, and that the imagination of the younger generation is searing upon real wings, inspired by flight to the deep chords of emotion that in earlier days went into sound and color. The pity is that just now they are instruments of death. "They have amazing adventures up there in the sky and learn strange things. They learn the look of the great country below, so that every landmark is familiar to them, and any flash or shape is detected at once, and those things they must learn in three different scales of light, morning, afternoon and evening, because at each of those times the landscape and that a good whipping was what I needed to set me right.

A friend of mine had a sister and frightful case of not having any. He was taking thirty days when he saw coming straight for him three-pounders of a ton of metal, in the shape of a shell, and heard his snapping note and was tossed as though in a rough sea by the rush of the wind it made. It was a shell from one of our United States and this pilot who met it in its way within 100 yards was annoyed for the moment with the gunners below who had not worried them he darted in the sky which was my friend.

FIX UP FRACTURED JAWS Remarkable Work Being Assembled by American Dentists in France. English - The work accomplished by the American residents in Paris when they furnished their great military hospital at the Lycee Posteur and opened it as a "gift to humanity" to be bearing good fruit. In those days military arsenal was cumbersately a getting object, but soon then the keen insight of the American doctors—not because that of Doctor Hayes—showed them how great a joint doctor and jaw injuries were likely to play in the war and how essential it was that these should be properly treated. The jaw may be broken, a piece of bone that may actually have been smashed out of it. The loss of that piece of bone that socket, even only have one result if left unintentionally of a permanent character. Many of these cases are now in existence. One of them was to bed that the defeminization conquered a threat to breathing. The French, like the Americans, have not been slow to recognize these facts as the work of Doctor Frey at the Val-de-Grance shows. The dentist comes upon the scene with a difficult task in front of him. For he has to devise methods of keeping the broken portions of the jaw in correct position, correctly spaced from one another, until such time as nature is about to bridge the gap, and all the time he has to work against the tendency of the month to infect his work and ruin it. But the problem can be solved, and it is being solved. The work of the Americans at the Lycee Pasteur end of the French have proved this, and if further proof be needed the exhibition of plates and dentures at present being held here at the Royal Society of Medicine furnishes it. The pictures from Paris and elsewhere of men before and after treatment are eloquent testimony.

Allotment of Million Dollars to Be Spernt by Uncle Sam This Year Gives California $140,760. California will get the largest share of the $10,000,000 appropriated by Uncle Sam through the federal aid road set for the construction and maintenance of roads and trails within or partly within national forests. The tentative allotment among the national forest states of the million dollars to be expended this fiscal year gives California $140,763. The tentative allotments to the principal national forest states are as follows: Alaska, $40.289; Arizona, $20.775; Arkansas, $11.244; California, $140.733; Colorado, $123.355; Idaho, $108.010; Montana, $82.301; Nevada, $119.155; New Mexico, $42.522; Oregon, $127.734; South Dakota, $81.158; Utah, $40.823; Washington, $81.779; Wyoming, $40.686. In addition, a total of $0.522 has been remitively assigned to Florida, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota and Oklahoma, while the eastern states, Maine, New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Georgia—in which the government's purchasing lands for national forests have been allotted—$21.057. "In general," and secretary of Agriculture Houston, "the states and counties will be required to furnish co-operation in an amount at least equal to 20 per cent of the estimated cost of the surveys and construction. However, upon a satisfactory showing by the applicant state or country that such proportion of co-operation is inequitable, it may be altered and the ratio of co-operation fixed upon a basis equitable to both the state or country and the United States." The method followed in apportioning the money was explained by Secretary Houston as follows: Ten per cent of the amount available each year will be withdrawn as a contingent fund. One half of the remainder will be allocated to the states in amounts which will be based on the area of national forest lands in each state. The other half will be apportioned on a basis of estimated value of timber and forage resources which the forests contain. Amounts apportioned but unexpended within three years, and any balance of the contingent fund which remains unapportioned at the end of each year, will be apportioned on the same basis as the original allotments. JOBS ARE FOUND FOR 75,156 Uncle Sam Gets Places for Many During First Full Year's Work of Federal Employment Service. Uncle Sam found employment for 55,156 persons during the first full year of the activities of the United States employment service, the work of which is performed under the supervision of the bureau of immigration of the department of labor. During the year 25,156 employees died application for 107,151 workers. In the same period 19,452 persons applied for work, of whom 94,963 were referred to employment and 55,156 were actually employed. During the year the department of labor in pursuance of cooperative arrangements with the department of commerce, utilized its employment service by establishing registers of certified seamen. Through the operation of this service the employment officers of the department of labor were frequently able to secure for merchant vessels a sufficient number of certified seamen to complete the crews; and when unable to do this they ascertained and reported the fact that no such seamen were available in their respective ports. Marines Read Recruits' Character in Fingers Men with long, tapering "piano" fingers are apt to desert after short service, while those having stubby digits, denoting stability of character and utter lack of the artistic temperament, usually stand by their oaths and make the best marines, according to fingerprint experts at headquarters of the United States Marine corps. Although desertions from the corps are light at all times it has been found that actors, sign writers, and, strange to say, waiters, furnish the largest number of deserters. Records, including finger prints, of all men enlisted in the marine corps are kept at headquarters for purposes of identification, and there are cases on record where bodies, with finger tips intact, have been positively identified through the finger-print medium. TO AID U. S. MANUFACTURERS To extend the use of American railway equipment and supplies in the far East, Australia and South Africa, Unde Sam will send a special agent to that part of the world to investigate the field for American products of that character. The investigation will be made by Frank Rhea of the division of valuations of the interstate commerce commission. Mr. Rhea will make a careful study on the ground of the conditions as they affect railway construction, equipment, traffic, the probable extension or reconstruction of railways, tramways, etc. While all specific opportunities for securing orders will be promptly reported, the real purpose of the investigation is to gather together the fundamental facts and conditions that will enable the American manufacturer to consider intelligently the different fields and to determine whether it is to be advantage to enter any of them. More Than 250,000 Acres Left in Public Domain. Territory Still Open to Homestead Scattered Over Twenty-Five States—Nevada Has Most Uncle Sam still has considerable land to give to the enterprising citizen, man or woman, who wishes to establish a home. Secretary of the Interior Lane has announced that more than a quarter of a billion acres of land remain in the public domain, according to official figures, just completed by the general land office. These acres are located in 25 different states, extending from California to Michigan, from Florida to Washington. All but 220,000 acres of it is in the far west, with Nevada containing the highest acreage, 25,375,077. An even dozen of the extreme western states alone hold more than 250,000,000 acres. The exact amount of land that is inserved and inappropriated, according to the official figures, is 244,045,588 acres. Of this amount, approximately 220,000 acres are insurveyed. Missouri reports the least area of vacant land having but 362 acres which are scattered over 118 counties. In 32 counties of Michigan may be found 30,540 acres, while 30 counties in Wisconsin report 3,372 acres. Of the Pacific states, California has 20,025,069 acres of vacant land; Oregon, 15,377,309, and Washington, 1,122,571. The land in the Dakotas is rapidly passing into private ownership, only 2,382,588 acres of vacant land being reported in South Dakota, and 381,196 acres in North Dakota. Of the northwestern states, Idaho contains 15,510,561 acres of vacant land, of which 16,369,071 acres are insured; Montana, 16,649,725 acres with 7,429,197 insured; and Wyoming, 28,739,492 acres with 1,960,752 acres insured. In Colorado over two and a quarter million acres were appropriated during the last fiscal year, leaving 14,008,127 acres now vacant. Of this area over 2,000,000 acres are unsurveyed. The total area of unappropriated land, surveyed and unsurveyed, in the 25 public-land states, is reported as follows: Alabama 42,556 Aransas 23,577,219 Arizona 40,193 California 20,055,899 Colorado 18,988,177 Florida 18,988,177 Hawaii 15,510,561 Kansas 36,018 Louisiana 44,994 Michigan 36,046 Mississippi 78,906 Missouri 21,745 Montana 18,549,392 Nebraska 165,254 Nevada 55,155,971 North Dakota 35,235,377 North Dakota 30,198 Oklahoma 35,254 Oregon 15,577,890 South Dakota 1,223,898 Utah 23,263,367 Washington 1,122,571 Wisconsin 9,476 Wyoming 23,233,892 Total 254,366,599 LAUREL MAY DISPLACE BRIAR Roots Found in American Mountains to Be Used in Making Pipes in Place of French Wood. The briar pipe so familiar to the smoker may give way to the laurel pipe, as a result of the security and high price of French briar, from which most pipes have been made. A sale of a large quantity of mountain laurel roots from one of the national forests in the southern Appalachians has been reported by officials in charge. The mountain laurel root is similar in appearance to the French briar, which is the root of the white heath or "Brueree." These roots are gathered in large quantities, and after being cleaned and sawed into blanks they are placed in hot water and simmered for twelve hours or more. This process gives them the rich hue for which the best pipes are noted. It is said that in 1915 the value of the blanks shipped to this country was almost $300,000, and in addition a large number of finished pipes were imported. A number of pipe manufacturers in this country have been on the lookout for substitutes, and the Forest Products laboratory has conducted experiments to determine the availability of other woods. It is reported that the mountain laurel root burns out more readily than briar, but forest service experts are trying to find a method of hardening the wood, and have succeeded to an appreciable extent. They have also found that a number of the various kinds of chaparral which are abundant in the west give promise of yielding material which will be the equal of French briar in every way. UNCLE SAM AIDS SPORTSMEN Prepares Directory Showing From Whom Information Can Be Obtained Concerning Game Laws. Uncle Sam has made it easy for anyone interested in the subject to obtain information regarding the multitude of game laws that are in force in the United States and Canada. The seventeenth annual directory of officials and organizations concerned with the protection of birds and game in the United States and Canada, revised to July 15, 1916, has been issued by the bureau of biological survey. United States department of agriculture. It presents in convenient form the addresses of persons from whom information may be obtained concerning the game laws. It shows the date of establishment of each state commission or wardenship, the changes which occur in such offices, and the publications issued by game officials. It contains also the names and addresses of the president and secretary of each national, state and Canadian club or association organized for the protection of birds and game. The Andubon societies, organized for the study and protection of birds, are also listed, together with the names and addresses of the presidents and secretaries. BUYS WASHINGTON'S HEADQUARTERS TO PRESERVE IT TO THE NATON --- New York.—A few days ago a young American heard that Washington's headquarters at Dobbs Ferry would be sold within 24 hours to a brewer who intended to turn this historic place into a roundhouse. The American had been fuselated, even as a boy in Michigan, with the old woodcut representation in Prescott's "History of the United States," showing the house in which General Washington, Sir Guy Carleton, then commander in chief of the army, met with the governor on May 3, 1783, after the suspension of hostilities, to settle the terms for the disbunding of the two armies. It was the only time these distin- guished gentlemen ever met. The pa- pers they signed obligated the Britis- tion to give up all claim upon the alli- gence and control of the country, gave freedom to a nation, and initiated a remarkable test of republican institu- tions. By some the house has been called "the birthplace of the United States." The young American, Mess- more Kendall, of this city, when he heard that the historic place might be used for undesirable purposes, did not rest until he had bought the house and its 3% acres for $0,000. He may give it to the state or nation, but not until he has spent $25,000 to restore it, says the New York Times. The inscription on a monument placed near the house on June 14, 1894, by the New York State Society, Sons of the American Revolution, relates that here on August 14, 1781, Washington planned the York tountain campaign, which brought to a triumphant end the war for American independence. And that opposite this point, May 8, 1788, a bishop sloop of war fired 17 guns in honor of the American commander, in chief, the first salute by Great Britain to the United States of America. Memorable Conference. The memorable conference which was fraught with such significance and led to the evacuation of American soil by British troops lasted several days, and during that time the Dobbs Ferry house was carefully guarded by several companies of soldiers, while mounted messengers carried dispatches hourly to the Continental and British camps. Mr. Kendall, who is a lawyer, spent last winter in France, and became surcharged with its patriotism. His stock is American from early days. At the first call for volunteers in the Revolutionary war, 363 Kendalls responded and did their bit. Messmore Kendall's great-grand-grandfather, Dr. Joseph Goodhue by name, was at one time surgeon general of the Revolutionary army. His grandfather, Col. I. E. Messmore, organized the Fourteenth Wisconsin volunteer infantry regiment, fought all through the Civil war, became judge of the supreme court of Wisconsin, served as a member of congress for several years, and received a letter from General Huncock when that man believed he would be made president of the United States, offering Colonel Messmore, in that event, the post of secretary of the Interior. Messmore Kendall, who was born in Grand Ruplids, Mich., in 1872, has a record of his own. He herded cows in the West and, after being graduated from Columbia university, was secretary to United States Senator John L. Wilson, and later to Bellamy Storer, former minister to Austria-Hungary. As attorney for Jennie M. Leys, Mr. Kendall recovered a verdict against him, and for 400 hours, said to be the largest verdict on record in a personal injury action. He organized the Braden Copper company, which is now part of the Kennecte Copper company, one of the largest corporations of its kind. Beats the Brewer to It He had, in a word, the patriotism and the meams, and everything conspired to arouse within him a keen interest in the fate of the Washington headquarters at Dobbs Ferry, Mr. Kendall had long known the history of the place, and while motoring by the old post road, over which the stage coaches used to pass, he noticed that it seemed more neglected than ever, and that several signs on the trees indicated that the property was in the hands of real estate agents. Following a sudden inspiration and the advice of one of the signs, Mr. Kendall drove to the real estate office of James L. Taylor at Dobbs Ferry and announced that he felt like buying Washington's headquarters. Mr. Taylor informed him that a brewer had first claim on the property, being expected that afternoon, when papers were to be signed, and that what had been called the birthplace of the United roadhouse. Mr. Kendall did not sleep until he got it. Now he is going to put the house into the hands of artists and architects, who will make it look as it did in the days when cannon balls from the enemy's gunballs lodged in the cherry trees. (A few of these cannon balls are still to be seen around the place.) After the restoration Mr. Kendall will decide whether he will give the house to the state or nation. He has not yet met up his mind on Connecticut Agricultural Expert Tells How to Sober Up Dairy Inbreates New London—When a cow begins to act low down, and gets so packed to the horns with intoxicants that she gives moonshine milk, something must be done about it. Karl (B. Mieusser, agent in dairy at the Connecticut Agriculture college in the month's issue of the college press bulletin this point, for the house came into his possession in a moment of patriotic feeling, which was prompted to some extent by a visit last winter to France. There Mr. Kendall witnessed the splendid patriotism of the French people and remembered later that near the Dobbs Ferry house the French allies Rochambeau had joined the American army on July 6, 1751. As an unarmed American he is naturally proud of that army in our history, and proud also of his ownership of the house that is associated with Rochambeau. Rich in Historic Places. Westchester county is rich in its historic places, yet, among all, perhaps none is more justly noted than the property now known chiefly as the Livingston Manor house, though in truth it has no claim to that title. The land on which the house stands was purchased from the Indiana in April 1682, by Frederick Philipse, whose Manor house is now the city hall of Yonkers, and was held by his family, under royal charter from the English crown, until after the Revolution, when it was concocted by the government on account of the Toryism of its owners. It was occupied during Revolutionary times by Thomas Hyatt, a tenant farmer, who had leased it and the surrounding tract of land from the Lord of the Phillips, and who prided himself on having the best location in that part of the country, the best house between Yonkers and Sleepy Hollow, but whose chief claim to great greatness seems to have been his ability to tell "big stories." He had no political opinion, and cared little which party ruled, as long as crops were good. But the even tenor of his life was destined to interruption, both by Americans and by British. In 1776, after the battle of White Plains, came the redecorations, prior to their march on Fort Washington. Lord Howe here made his maps of Westchester roads, and here General Lee rested on his march to Morristown. And, in the following winter, a division of Washington's army encamped here, to command the passage of the river. The poor farmer was, indeed, besieged. On August 1, 1750, the main body of the American army crossed the river and encamped at Dobbs Ferry, and the old house became the headquarters of the army's chief, and of his generals, Lafayette, Steuben, Knox Greene and Hamilton. Washington's maneuver attained its object, that of drawing the enemy back to Rhode Island, and the main body of the American army recessed to the New Jersey shore. Gunboata Open Fire. On August 7, 1781, about two o'clock in the morning, the American army was started by the firing of cannon at Dobbs Ferry. It appeared that two of the enemy's gunboats had come up as high as the ferry, probably to try to seize some vessels or boats. Finding that they were discovered, they fired four cannon, but to no effect. Four cannon were discharged at the boats from the battery, on which they went down the river. Washington's diary informs us that on July 4, 1781, he "marched and took a position a little to the left of Dobbs Ferry, and marked a camp for the French army upon our left." On July 6 the French army formed "the junction with the American army on the ground marked out. The American army was encamped in two lines, with the right resting on the Hudson river near Dobbs Ferry. The French army, stationed on the hills at the left, was a single line reaching to the Bronks river. There was a valley of considerable extent between the two armies." Washington's object in taking a position on the Hudson river near Dobbs Ferry was to be prepared to make an attack on New York, and also to induce the enemy to withdraw a large portion of his forces from the south. In this he was successful, and thus it was that he was enabled to defeat and compel the surrender of Cornwallis and end the war. An entry in Washington's orderly book dated July 6, 1781, and written at Dobbs Ferry, says that the enemy had been expressing his thanks to Count de Rochunbeau for the unremitting zeal with which he has prosecuted his march in order to form the long-wished-fjunction between the French and American armies—an event which must afford the highest degree of pleasure to every friend of the country, and from which the happiest consequences can be expected." Told by One of Heira. These and other tales of the old house were recounted a few night ago by Miss Anna Gertrude Roberts, one of the heirs of the Hasbrouck estate, from which Mr. Kendall's purchase has been made. Peter Van Frugh Livingston was an American merchant born in Albany, the son of Philip, second lord of Livingston Manor. This house was his country place. He enjoyed the friendship of Washington, and on more than one occasion was consulted by him. He was one of the founders of the College of New Jersey. Nature lovers well know that a cow selom® goes boldly into a barroom. The trouble is that the mild-eyed婴rites get fooling around with wind fall apples. Mr. Mieuser says: "The condition of intoxication, if allowed to exist for any length of time, impairs the ability of an ex-trainer to make a good milker a loss proposition financially.

Hamilton Rice, the former Mrs. George D. Widener of Philadelphia, will accompany her husband Dr. A. Hamilton Rice, into the upper reaches of the Amanuon and the Ortioco. The former Mrs. George D.

She is one of society's most famous matrons and will give up the gayety and luxury of Newport to be at her husband's side in the journey through a land swarming with poisonous insects and noted for many varieties of fevers. at Elbizabethnown, N. J., which afterward became Princeton college. On April 22, 1774, he was one of a party who, disguised as Mohawks, like their Boston compatriots, overboard a cargo of ten brought by the Nancy Museum of New York. The place was owned by Van Brugh Livingston to Stephen Archer in 1836, and was his residence until his death in 1877. It was purchased by Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck in 1882. Earthworks were established at several points within the village of Dobbs Ferry during the Revolutionary war. An embankment at the foot of Chestnut street was leveled only a few years ago. The outlines of a redoubt, perfect condition, are still preserved in the angles formed by the junction of Broadway and Livingston avenue. The remains of a fort, a still more imposing earthwork, are carefully preserved on a knoll a few rods southeast of the redoubt. The interior of the house has been changed but nobody says that where愈来愈 heavy, one now sees a modern ceiling. Also the old Dutch windows have been enlarged so that through them one may pass out onto the veranda, which extends across almost the whole side. Many Quaint Relics. Within are many quant old relics—the table built for Major Paulding of New York, at which Laffney was entertained in IS24, and the chairs which were used at that banquet; a copper kettle given by a British officer to a negro slave; quant old china and pewter dishes brought from Holland in the seventeenth century. Here, too, is an old footstone, such as our grandmothers caried with them to church, and, perhaps more important, and one which at least brings the war very strongly before us, is a Revolutionary cannon ball cut from an old cherry tree on the place. Stephen Archer, who bought the house from Livingston, was a Quaker and abolitionist, and during the Civil war the place became a station on the "underground railway." Many a trembling slave was safely hidden within its friendly walls until pursuit was over and opportunity was afforded to seek the Canadian boundary. Dr. Joseph Hasbrouck, the last owner of the house, was a descendant of an old Huguenot family and former vice-president of the Holland society of New York. He died a few years ago. STOPPED ESCAPE FROM JAIL Indiana Sherif Finds Bars Bent So That Human Body Might Pass. Sullivan, Ind.—An effort at a jail delivery was frustrated the other night by Sherif Ed Kelley, who found the iron bars of one of the outside windows bent sufficiently to allow a man's body to pass. A sheet was plumed over the window to cover the work. Duby Bass, Harry Ransel, in jail waving trial on a charge of automobile theft, are suspected by the sheriff and have been locked in separate cells. The discovery was made soon after the hour授课. A bar used to bend the window bars had been removed from a cell door. HONORS FOR ECCLESIASTICS Five Hundred and Sixty-Four Cited in Orders of Day for Gallant Conduct With French Army.

Eleven were shot by the Germans, three died from III treatment during the invasion. 34 were taken as hostages to Germany and four of them have died in captivity.

Umbrella Struck by Lightning. O'Brien. Atchison, Kan.-A. J. Haskins narrows eyes upon with his life here the other day when the umbrella he was carrying was struck by lightning. Haskins says that he seemed to be enveloped in a ball of flame. His legs and arms are still numb from the effects of the shock. The lightning came during a rainstorm. The HOME BEAUTIFUL Flowers and Shrubbery Their Care and Cultivation V Drops of Water Must Not Be Permitted to Stand on the Leaves of Gloxinia, as Water Will Rot It. A Pretty Little Home That Has the Added Preference of a Small Densen victory. THE BYSTANDER The HOME Flowers and Their Care and Drops of Water Must Not Be Permitted as Water PREPARATORY WORK FOR WINTER What about the winter window garden? Now is the time for much work that cannot be delayed. Do not let the geranium got legy. Pinch into shape. Pinch out the buds from plants intended for the window garden. Late started plants are not satisfactory. Begin now. Get your soil, sand manures and potting materials together. Clean, scour, sun and put in place the pots for winter. Have every vessel cleaned. Use charcoal in your drainage. Dead coals from wood-fishes are good as any. conls from wood-ashes are good as any. Repot all plants needing it, cutting back severely. Don't try to keep everything. Try to have your plants at their best when it is time to take them in doors. Pinch and prune into good shape. Drops of water must not stand on leaves of the gloxinia, as water will rot it. Get seedling primroses from the florist now, keep growing and thrifty for winter bloomers. The peristrophe variegata is a good bracket plant and a free bloomer. For winter blooming, get dormant tuberous-rooted begonia; give each tuber a pot by itself. If one has no plants and cannot afford to buy, the seedlings of many garden plants are easily cared for. Many are satisfactory. Do not keep balsam-impaired sutana is always in bloom, always beautiful, easily cared for. A fine window plant. Slips of fuchsias, helotropes, petunias, coleus and other soft-wethed plants, root readily in moist sand. Slip now. THE WINDOW GARDEN Bv E. VAN BENTHUYSEN. Give the windows at which plants are to be kept a little attention at this season. Go over the sash, and make sure that the glass in it is well fastened in place by putty. If any pumps are loose, reputty them. See that the sash fits the frame well. These little crevices are the ones through which a great deal of cold may come when the temperature drops below zero and there is a stiff wind blowing. It is an excellent plan to fit the windows of the dwelling with storm windows—storm sashes. Not only for the benefit of the plants, but the business of the house. At windows protected by storm sash plants can be allowed to stand against the inner glass, on the coldest night, without injury, as the air space between the two sashes is a most efficient non-conductor of cold. HOW TO ATTRACT BIRDS Protection is the prime requisite for increasing the number of birds in an area, and the results of protection are in direct proportion to the amount given. Besides insuring birds against every form of persecution by human kind, we must defend them from various natural foes. The most effectual single step is to provide a place for the birds free from the cats. Although a considerable number of THE KITCHEN CABINET My message in its fashion shall be an appeal to enthusiasm in things in life to call to do things because we love them, we love them, we love them, to keep the eyes open, the heart warm and the pulse swift, as we move across the field of life.-David Surr Jordan. It is not necessary to eliminate meat entirely from the diet in hot weather, but those who serve it in small quantities and less often, replacing it with foods which contain the elements of the meat without its heat-producing qualities will find they are better able to endure the heat. Salmon Said—Chop fin the hard-cooked eggs and a dozen small cucumber pickles; add to a can of salmon that has been flaked. Mix with a mayonnaise dressing and serve on crisp well chilled lettuce. Another hearty salad is prepared with boiled rice seasoned with finely chopped onion and French dressing. Arrange on a salad plate and garnish with drained sardines and minced parsley and pickled beets. Take a crisp young cabbage hollowed out for a bowl and shred the tender portion, mixing it with equal parts of celery and a little chopped onion. Serve with a good boiled dressing. Very ripe quinces peeled and sliced, seasoned with minced chives and served with French dressing are also a welcome variety. Bananas are nearly always with us and they are good with apples with celery and nuts is another well-like combination as well as sliced apple and shredded green pepper with nuts, served with mayonnaise dressing. By cooking a double portion of vegetables one day you have ample for salads for the next. Salads that can be served as substitutes for meats are easily made, economical, and save the cook as well as the overworked digestive system. Baked Bean Salad—Place in a bowl a few slices of onion and turn over them a pint of baked beans, season and mix lightly; add two tablespoonful of olive oil, a teaspoonful of sugar and a quarter of a cupful of vinegar. Mold and garnish with hard-cooked eggs and serve on lettuce. Chopped green peppers and tomatoes are good mixed with beans and served with French dressing. We never really gain anything by pretense; we only think that we gain and make others think it. The box tom of a lime and it is therefore valueless. One of the greatest distinctions of the world is the apperarance of an ingrudient man, an insincerity. These things always remain what they are, in spite of gliding and tinsel. Let us not be such poor creatures as to be deluded by them.—Arthur Salmon. For a dainty dish on a special occasion try using a small French potato scoop to cut out pink bulbs from the heart of a watermelon. Put in glasses, cover with orange juice and top with a sprinkling of powdered sugar. Most of us are reasonably satisfied with a well-chilled good-flavored muskmelon, but for special times the melon halves may be filled with ice cream and garnished with bits of candied ginger cut in the form of seeds. Cantaloupe Sherbet.—Choose the smallest ripe nutmeg melons for this recipe. Cut in halves and remove the seeds, then scrape out all the ripe pulp and put through a sieve; to a quart of the pulp add a cupful of orange and grape juice and one and a half pounds of sugar, well dissolved; add two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and put into the freezer; add a benten white of an egg and freeze as usual. Serve in the cantaloupe shells, and put into the freezer; add two spoonfuls as plucked peaches or preserved as watermelon rind are very delicious dainies which add to the housewife's store of good things for the winter table. Cantaloupes and watermelons make excellent fruit salads. Dice and serve on lettuce with French dressing. A grating of nutmeg is liked on cantaloupes by many. Duchess Apples With Onions—A most appetizing dish is this. cut in small pieces, after peeling, a half dozen green duchess apples; cut three onions in slices and put into an omelet pan with a little fat from salt pork; cook until the onions are a light yellow, then add the apples and sufficient water to cook them without burning. As the apples are quite tart, a little sugar improves the dish as to flavor and looks, as it browns better with the sugar. Season with salt and serve hot as an accompaniment to French Custard—Beat three eggs until light; add one pint of whipped cream, sweetened and flavored to taste. Serve in tall glasses with grated nutmeg over the top or garnished with fresh berries. The German village of Remborn has a linden tree said to be more than 200 years old. While touring China for the purpose of checking up the different species of mammals that are known to inhabit the Southwestern institution at Washington discovered 12 new species of the Tertiary age. This makes the aggregate number of species discovered by scientists in China. our native birds build their nests on the ground, the majority place them in trees of shrubs, either in holes or on the limbs or in crofts. Shrubbery and trees for nesting sites, therefore, are essential for making the place attractive to birds, and a double purpose is served if the kinds planted are chosen from the list of fruit-bearing species. Shrubbs should be pruned back severely, when young, so as to produce numerous crotches. - Constant removal of old trees and modern tree surgery resulted in a great diminution of a number of trees A An unightly Telegraph Pole Made Attractive by the Birdhouse and the Climbing Vines. cavities, the natural home of most of our hole-netting birds. Fortunately most of these birds will utilize artificial nest cavities, or birdhouses. An unightly telegraph pole may be made attractive by the birdhouse and climbing vines. BUSY DAYS We are all tremendously busy now, but, maybe, if some of us had put in a few licks on certain things, along in the early spring, we would not now have to do the things when the rush is on. DUST THE ROSES Dust the climbing roses with sulphur early in the morning, while the flowers are ready. Ker-Plunk. She was a dream. She was farer than the dawn. She seemed to float across the big room, such was her grace. Everybody looked. The type-writers stopped. Even the telegraph instruments stopped. Not for many a day had the office been freshened by such a vision. She approached our desk. Proudly we rose. With a smile that revealed the whitest of teeth, she asked, "Where's the city editor at?" Leaders of men have ever been pre- cedent breakers. Timid people, as mu- ter how able never make leaders, pleaseness never making character- istics of all men of progress. It seems a small thing to mention, but there is great waste in the pre- paration of vegetables, es- pecially in peeling potatoe- s. In the days before the potato peeler was in- vented a publie-spirited man gave a large enow- ment to the college visited by his agent that showed the greatest economy in peeling potatoe. Perhaps the old ing for a bride, who asked for the bread bow in the homes of several churning mids, wishing to feed his horse with the scrapings, might be well to revive. Those who saved much dough, thinking to gain favor were dispointed for he chose the girl with the bowl so clean that there were no scrapings, as that indicated to him a careful, frugal wife, for which he was looking. Where vegetables are to be served alone, select the best looking ones, leaving the less sightly ones for soups, seasonings and stews. A tablespoonful of peas or tomatoes should be saved and added to the roast beef gravy on the morrow or to the vegetable salad. A single fresh tomato may be quartered and served as a garnish. A half cupful of peas may be added to tomorrow's omelet and thus make a tasty dish rather than a plain omelet. Water in which rice is cooked added to milk makes a fine cream soup for dinner. One cupful of mashed potatoes will make several croquettes, or patties, or fish balls. The green tops of the celery are just as good for flavoring the stew or soup as the more tender portions. Muffins left from breakfast may be pulled apart and toasted. Pieces of cake served with a simple custard and a sliced bannan, is a dainty dessert and one easy to prepare. Save the tea leaves and sprinkle them, well moistened, over the carpet before sweeping. They brighten the carpet and keep the dust from flying. Use the ham bone to cook with cabbage. Take off every little bit of meat and serve it in a white sauce on toast. Mayonnaise may be colored green with spinach juice or red with beet juice, or toast with the juice of lobster. REFRESHING PEACH AND PEAR To meet with cheerful heart what comes to me. To turn life's discords into harmony. To share some weary worker's heavy To point some straying comrade to the road. To know that what I have is not my own. To tell that I am never quite alone. This would I pray from day to day. For then I know my life will flow. In peace until it be God's will I go. These two fruits are general favor tree and may be eaten with no ill effects if not overripe or green. Peach' ice Ice Cream. Wipe, pure and cut ripe peaches into small pieces, sprinkle with sugar and let stand two hours, then force through a purée strainer. To the pulp thus obtained add twice its measure of cream, two tablespoonfuls of lemon juice and sugar to make it not too sweet, add a pitch of salt and freeze. Serve in sherbet cups with a quarter of fresh peaches for a garnish. Peach Salad. Arrange halves of peeled peaches on head lettuce, sprinkle with shredded almonds and chopped celery, then add well-seasoned French dressing and serve chilled Peach Roly Poly—Make a rich pastry and roll out very thin. On this heap sliced peaches and roll up. Place in a deep granite baking dish and cover with a cupful of brown sugar, a tablespoonful of lemon juice and three-fourths of a cupful of boiling water, two tablespoonfuls of butter and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Have the lap of the roll on top so that it will bake without being soggy. Pear Salad—Take peeled pears, cut in halves, roll in chopped nuts and place in lettuce; add a tablespoonful each of finely chopped celery, dried almonds and pineapple. Serve with any desired dressing. Mayonnaise, if well seasoned, is especially good with the salad. Pears baked with sugar, butter, lemon juice and a little water makes a delicious accompaniment to a meat course. Pears cut-in strips with celery and French dressing on lettuce is another most appetizing salad. Soup meat with seasonings may be made into a nice tasty loaf for lunch-eon. Nellie Maxwell So thoroughly have the men been instructed to avoid it that trenchfoot is now regarded as a crime among Canadian troops in France. For 40 years, through 160 court terms, Charles Bidney Jump has been crier of the circuit court for Queen Anne county, Maryland.

To the ATHLETIC COLUMN. By Curt P. Howard. They're off. Bowens! 6-22-12-14— Hike! At a bop, if you hit 'em low you'll get 'em every time. At last the dear old college game is under wry. Already coaches are beginning to pick their men. The guy that told you last summer that he was a football player has got to show you now or else join the Ananias club. Indications are that West will sweep the field this year. She has an unusual amount of excellent material. They say where there's smoke there must be some fire. Where "Stub" Stewart is there also is a football team. Nuf said. We have heard of fireless cookers, though. You joy killer. North is looming up as a strong contender for city honors this year. She also has a large amount of material. Although not so well seasoned as the West High bunch, they can be counted on to put up a lively scrap. At our last writing ten colored boys were out. At this time we're only having five answer present to the roll call. Too bad our fellows don't stick better. You can't expect to be put on the first squad the first time you see a football. You must think your natural ability is something phenomenal. It takes fight to make a football team. You can't get on on your natural beauty. East hasn't as large a squad out for training as West or North, but she has one of the fastest bunches that we've ever seen. There is only one old man left in the line, Amsberry, the tackle. Comba, the captain, is still on the border and if he gets back it will certainly help the problem some. One bright spot in the East aggregation from our point of view is Ashby, a colored lad from Boone. Ashby appears to be one of the best halfbacks that we've seen in a long time, and if he lives up to his reputation will certainly help the East bunch do the thing that's foremost in their minds, beat West High. Of course there's our old friend, Cecil Stone, that makes them all sit up and take notice. The tie game played Labor day between Riverview and the Des Moines Giants was played off last Sunday, the colored boys shutting out their white opponents 8 to 0. Kelley Davis did the twirling for the Giants and not a Riverview player reached third base, only two getting as far as second, only two hits were credited to the Riverview team. The Giants had little trouble locating Mickie and he retired in the seventh in favor of Scarpino. Barber, the Giants' third baseman, did some nice fielding and good batting. The Maroons met last Tuesday and elected Herbert Whitfield captain. Coach Alexander was officially introduced to Twenty-first and High next Sunday at 2 p.m. The boys will meet on Center and go over in a body. The Maroons are strengthened by the return of McGuire, who was to enter the Chicago Art Academy at Chicago, but returned because they would not accept him. Why? The Chicago Art Academy is one of the two art schools in the country that offers a course in newspaper cartooning. McGuire has talent along cartooning lines. He was intelligent enough to realize that regardless of his natural ability, training, and only the best of it, would make him what he wanted to be. With this in view he has for the last couple of years denied himself the social privileges and good times most of us enjoy, saved his pennies and dreamed of the day when he could enter the Chicago Art school. During the summer he corresponded with them and received every encouragement. At last the day to enter came. McGuire entered, yes, as far as the registrar's office, and lo 'was discovered that McGuire was colored. What's the use of explaining further. Sorry, but no arrangements can be made to accept you. It simply isn't our policy to accept colored students. It is needless to speak of how much time and money McGuire has lost besides the embarrassment. We'd like to remind some of our folks that Chicago isn't in Georgia either. One bright feature, however, is that McGuire is undaunted. He says he's only delayed, not stopped, as he is planning to enter the art school in Boston next term. I wonder what does the girl who used to say, "Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine," think of temp brew. If there's any guy we do detest it is the guy who goes away to college and comes back so all-fired sanitary that when his poor old mother goes to kiss him he turns her his check. DR.

There are so many people who are carrying the burdens of the world that it is surprising that we have as many ills as are prevalent. Affairs would be truly ridiculous if they were not so fraught with the serious consequences of the class of people who think of themselves as highly important in the civic and world consequences. There are the folks who imagine that every time they open the front door the world is waiting to see what move they are going to make. PETER H. Then comes the highly self- satisfied person who imagines they are the envy of the community, and every piece of silk or new drinking glass they possess sets everyone on edge. Now comes Mrs. Ego, who is obsessed with the idea that every one is talking about her private affairs; as a rule in order to make true the delusion they put into motion some doubts. Ergo, comes the pseudo reformer, who would not make a good attendant in the house of the wicked, so far as morals and ideals are concerned, calling attention to the unimportant lapses of their moral superiors. Theseare the people who keep up the commotions and clasp their sooty paws over their paunches and sigh, "I have done my duty and am persecuted." Very few of us are important enough to be mentioned by one in a hundred of those who know us. We do not make a scratch mark on the face of time and if we die, more than likely it is hard to get up a good following to the graveyard; then some one else must pay the fare. If we were all half as important as we picture ourselves to be, not half of us could get around on account of the congestion in traffic we would cause. There would be more formality than there is at a diplomatic function, if we were as well known as we desired to be and our own sense passed to the other fellow. Half the people we seek to impress, if they have any recollection of us, all remember us with a pitying smile. The other half forget us before we leave the room. There is only one way to be remembered and that way is to do service. There is one way to be great, that is to be great in humbleness. There is one way to be envied and that is by being good, good to those who need us, but are too sensitive to ask. Before the ears can be attuned to the harmonies of the Master they must have lost their sensitivity to criticism. This does not apply to thick-skinned people, whose hides are im pervious darts, but to people who have trained in a spiritual way. Before the tongue can speak the beauteous truth it must have lost the power to wound. Before we can do service which will make us loved and indispensable we must be able to submerge self. Before we are ready to occupy the seat of the good, we must be able to do deeds in the dark and to dumb people. Before we are truly good we must be able to see goodness in every man. Those who would lead want to lead the elite, but the great leaders have been willing to lead the nondescript, to be friends of the lowly, they learned to submerge the feeling of superiority, if they ever felt it. Few people deeply desire to be of service; what the most of us do is to wish that we were in certain positions, which if we occupied we would subvert to tyrannical and basely selfish purposes.
