The latest Negro Four Book reflects this. Not only are the exhilarates of the heroes of the race recorded but also the individual wealth of Negroes is described with pride. For example, the rise in the price of oil is said to have boosted the income of Sarah Rector, a young girl of Taft, Oklahoma, to $600 a day. As the descendant of a Creek freedman, she happened to be allotted a piece of land in the oil district. Single taxers would hardly share in the enjoyment of this record. But it has its significance in a cumulative way. Says Monroe N. Work, editor of the volume: "Through purchases and increases in values, property holdings of Negroes in country increased during the year by probably $30,000,000. It is estimated that the basis of actual values and including property the total wealth of the Negroes of the United States is about $1,000,000,000. They own 21,000,000 acres of land, or more than 32,000 square miles, an area greater than that of the state of South Carolina." This private accumulation and public emphasis on the power of property is the Negro's answer to the white man's apathy concerning his plight. Rapidly the mere possession of wealth is dying for the Negro what the white man's conscience has failed to do. Racial consciousness is the beginning of racial self-reliance. In an immense variety of ways the Negro is using his own resources to push forward his race, and, too, from many sources he is being alided. Jalius Rosecawid, among others, has made interesting gifts to the rural schools. All this activity, the training of the Negro for more and more important services, is bound to have its consequences. On the one hand segregation is increasing—since 1911 13 cities and towns have adopted segregation ordinances—and on the other hand the Negroes are shaped by the schools and other institutions to share in the manifold efforts of the country. Here, in truth, is a genuine conflict of forces. What is the solution? Is it that of the Brazilian statesman who was quoted by Colonel Roosevelt as follows? "You of the United States are keeping the blacks as an entirely separate element, and you are not treating them in the same way," he self-respect. They would remain as a menacing element in your civilization, permanent, and perhaps after a while a growing element. With as this tends to disappear, because the blacks tend to disappear and to become absorbed. In a century there will not be any Negroes in Brazil, while you will have 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 of them." Negroes are being absorbed in the United States, despite our hostility to miscegenation. The number of mutuates steadily increases and the number of blacks decreases, despite the widespread laws forbidding intermarriage between the races. Unless the Negro's attitude toward this absorption changes, the gradual disappearance of a colored race seems to be the prospect in America — Chicago Herald.

Commendation for the progress made by the colored race during the last 50 years in the face of strong race prejudice was bestowed by H. Martin Williams, a slave dept. of the house, in an address before the Negro race conference at Mount Carmel Baptist church. Mr. Williams said: "You have faced it like men, and have made yourselves up in spite of the utmost violence." Following the address of Mr. Williams, the conference took the form of a permanent organization with the election of Rev. W. H. Jernagin of Washington as president, and the election of other officers as follows: Rev. J. Milton Waldron and E. P. Check of New Jersey, vice president; W. M. Alexander of Baltimore, secretary; S. L. Curtuthera, treasurer; W. A. Taylor, corresponding secretary, and W. D. Norman, chairman of the executive committee. The organization, on the question of indorsing the Republican nominee for president, voted to appoint a committee of nine to wait upon Mr. Hughes and ascertain his views and purposes in regard to the colored race.

For all that he was just a pressing club Negro, Clement Richardson writes in the Southern Workman. Nobody thought of him as anything else. In a few years the owner of the business, a white man, died. Frazer bought the business. As colored folk came in to bring and take back clothes, they inquired for a barber shop. Frazer fitted up a chair, bought a pair of clippers, and advertised for clients; that is, he at first cut hair for nothing. Then, as he mastered the art, he charged five cents, then ten cents, and on so till he received the standard price of 25 cents. Meantime he had bought a farm and a horse. He said: "I'll take this horse and land and make it pay for another place." Scarcely had he embarked on this proposition when a few choice acres of land on the west side of Auburn were put up for sale. Strangely enough, it was the land of Frazer's father's master. Frazer bought it. He put up a three-story building. He has abandoned the pressing club, but sells clothing. He still runs a business in the rear of the store. His second store is on the property for lodges and amusements. On the third floor he has an undertaking establishment. A few paces from the store he has built a home. A little further on he has put up a hotel cottage, a rare place in the South, with clean, airy rooms, and up-to-date cooking and service. Negro problems are to be considered as a part of the course in sociology at Howard university this year. Prof. Kelly Miller is to teach the first semester, and Dr. R. E. Parks, professional lecturer in sociology of Chicago university, is to teach the second semester of the subject. In order that the course may be available for city school teachers and others interested the time has been set for three o'clock Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The course is to embrace such topics as distribution, and tendency of Negro population, segregation, occupation, crime, vital statistics, education, religious and benevolent organizations, and also the discussion of remedial agencies and the general progress of the race. The advisability of naming colored bishops in the Protestant Episcopal church will be discussed at the general convention in St Louis this month. A special commission of bishops, clergyman and laymen, appointed at the 1912 convention to investigate the question, has completed its reports, one a majority favoring the naming of colored bishops, the other a minority report opposing the proposal. The majority report, which includes the signature of the chairman, and bishops of North Carolina, Texas and Mississippi and the lay members from Virginia and Rhode Island recommends grouping the colored members of the church in the southern dioceses into one or more missionary districts over which colored bishops would be placed. The minority report is signed by the bishops of South Carolina and Georgia, Reverend Doctor Stires of New York and Judge Joseph Packard of Baltimore, who favor election of suffragan bishops for this work. eecutive committee opposed the appointment of the committee and urged the immediate indorsement of Mr. Hughes. President Jernagin, in speaking of the conditions among the colored race, said that in the last six months more than 500,000 colored persons had left the South for New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and northwestern states to take the places of foreign laborers who have returned to their respective countries. He assagged the employers are more than satisfied with them as laborers and are willing to employ 1,000,000 more. He said the leaders of the colored race feel that there are too many of their race in the South get, and that every effort would be made to secure the migration of the surplus to northern and western states.

Correspondent Tells How He Was Searched When About to Leave Country. MINUTE EXAMINATION Every Article of Clothing Gets Cate Scrutiny and Ordeal Is Quite Humilizing for Women of Tender Senses. FRANZ HUGO KREBS, in New York Times. New York.—The examination which one has to undergo when entering or leaving Germany is very stringent and trying, and as the war continues is gradually becoming more rigid. A friend of mine who had come into Germany a few days before told me that on reaching Warmemunde tickets were given out, and that passengers were given the ticket. In the order of the number on the ticket; so I arranged matters with the conductor of the train from Berlin. He told me where to stand just before we reached Warmemunde, pointed out to me, when we arrived, the man who gave out the tickets—and I received No. 1. Entering, a building, right by the train, I was told to go through a long room, and was halted at the door of another room and asked to produce my passport. After it had been carefully scrutinized I was passed into another room. I found a porter with my grips and hatbox, and I was asked to identify my trunk. All my luggage was then placed on a wooden bench, and an officer and sub officer came over to take charge of the examination. Search Was Thorough. I never pack my trunk; it had been packed by the chambermaid at the Hotel Bristol, on Unter den Linden, and when I left Warmenumbe its appearance begged description. All my handkerchiefs, collars, shirts, drawers and socks were examined, one by one, to see whether any concealed papers could be located or whether anything was written on or sewed into them. Handkerchiefs were entirely unfolded, shirts, drawers and socks were turned inside out, and always there was a careful and persistent search. Every crease was examined. My soap was cut in pieces and a stick of camphor ice that had been cut in two places when I came into Germany was cut in another place. First the grips were examined, and then the hatbox; then, tray by tray, everything in the trunk was gone over. my boots and slippers were examined with great care, and, fortunately, I had no boots that had been recently resolved or rehealed; otherwise they might have been ripped apart? This, I was told, is frequently done. Coming into Germany the examining officer had torn out the stand in my hatbox, on which the hat rested. I and this fixed in Berlin, but I might better have waited until I returned to New York, because, as it was impossible for him to get his hands between the stand on which the hat rested and the side of the box, the examiner simply tore the stand out. The hand of my silk hat was pushed up, to see whether anything was concealed underneath, and the cushion for brushing the hat was ripped open. Suspect Paris Hat. My evening hat was opened. Although it was bought in the United States, it seems that it had been made in Paris, and as that fact was stamped inside, I had a feeling that it did not lessen the care with which it was examined. In the bottom of my trunk there were about a dozen summer shirts; I had not worn them since the previous summer, and each had a piece of cardboard placed in it when laundered in order to hold the shirt in shape. The cardboard was taken out of each shirt and laid inside. This completed the examination of my luggage, and I was then told to go with another, suboffer and submit to a personal examination. I was directed to go into a compartment and was told to take off all my clothing except my undershirt. I was also told to take everything out of my pockets and put it on a shelf. Banknotes were unfolded, one by one, to see that there was no tissue between; my matchsafe was opened, so was a small metal case that I carry my subway tickets in. The outer and inner cases of my watch were opened. The pockets of my top jacket were opened. The pockets of my trousers were turned inside out, and fingers passed over every seam. My boots and socks, drawers and shirt received the same careful attention previously accorded those in my trunk. The band around the hat I wore was pushed up and the sweatband was turned down. Next I was handed a paper to sign, stating that everything had been returned to me, and I was told that my examination was over. The examination of suspected women is, of course, conducted by woman inspectors, and I was told that cipher dispatches written on oil paper have sometimes been discovered, and that the examination is rigid in the extreme. In fact, American women who consider going to Germany before the end of the war must make up their minds in advance that they may possibly be subjected to an examination that to many would be humiliating.

NAVY NEEDS MANY NEW MEN Campaign for Recruits Planned by Officials to Show Young Fellows Advantages of Service. Washington.—Plans for an active enlistment campaign have been put on foot by the navy department to procure the sailors and marines provided for in the recent preprepared legislation. More than 2,500 recruits a month will be required to bring the navy up to the 20,000 authorized increase. in personnel. Judging from the army's experience in the past few months naval officers realize they will have a hard time finding suitable young men. Even during the Mexican crisis army enlistments seldom were more than 3,000 a month. The navy will immediately begin an educational campaign. Literature describing life on a man-of-war will be scattered on-mobile, and motion pictures portraying the romance of a sailor's life will be made. The navy intends to go into the rural districts, and there as well as in the big showhouses of the metropolitan sections will the life of Uncle Sam's guardians of the waves be thrown on the screens. Special inducements have been arranged by congress to tempt young men to take up the service as a profession. Large businesses for some enlistments have been provided and the department's literature will call attention to the opportunities of the seamen to provide a nest egg against the insecurity of old age. The 2,500 men a month needed will go partly toward the authorized increase and partly toward filling up the gape created through honorable discharges. The department expects a considerable decrease in the percentage of men quitting the service, owing to the special inducements that are now being offered. In recent years, recruits have been none too plentiful, as there is considerable ignorance as to how well the navy really pays and what chances it offers a young man to see the world and save money. The navy intends to dispel this ignorance. THIS DOG WAITS ALL NIGHT Stands Guard Over Well Where He Thought His Master Was—Stays Until Owner Appears. Petersburg, Ind.—Strother Ingler, a young farmer living near "Jupiter, Pike county, took his bird dog to the home of his father, Arnold Ingler, about two miles away, and on his return home stopped at an old well by the road to draw a bucket of water. The dog went into a nearby barn. Ingler at the well asked Ingler to ride home in his buggy, and Ingler stepped from the well curbing into the buggy, but forgot to whistle for his dog. A few minutes later the dog returned, and not finding Ingler, looked into the well. His nose followed the well rope, and he howled and tried to attract the attention of the Ingler family. Ingler's father saw the dog, but paid no attention to his barking. It rained all that night, but the dog sat beside the well, and in the morning again barked continually. The dog did not leave until its master came to get it in the afternoon, after his father had telephoned to young Ingler and told him of the dog's behavior.

European Fight Has Put Stop to Flow of Big Human Tide to This Country. BEST TYPES CANNOT COME Germany, France and England Will Not Let Their People Leave When Peace Prevails, an Official Predict. New York.—Immigration at the port of New York continues to be fast locked by the European war. Even the shortage of labor, the exceptional prosperity and the high wages being paid have failed to stimulate emigration from those countries which have not placed an enbargo upon it. It thus runs an article by Frederic C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration, in a recent issue of the World. Under the circumstances we would expect the government created a closing of the doors of Germany, England, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Poland and Italy against emigration to have stimulated the flow from Scandinavia, Denmark, Holland, Spain and Portugal, whose gates are still open to the outgoing food. This has not occurred. For the four years prior to the war, immigration averaged in the neighborhood of 400,000 a year at the port of New York. The first year of the war it Well to 243,000. The second year it fell still further, to 170,000. The outgoing flood has more than neutralized the incoming tide. The net loss through this port to our population during these two years was 20,783. There is still some immigration from Italy, and a considerable immigration from Greece, although the immigrants from these countries are largely men over the military age and wives and children coming to this country to join husbands or parents. During the three months, May, June and July, 1916, 8,053 Greeks entered at the port of New York, 10,555 Italians and 4,003 Scandinavians. Should the war be extended over the entire, Italian peninsula, as now seems quite probable, southern immigration will be reduced to Italy and Spain. Pure Conjecture After Close of War. As to what will happen after the war, that is pure conjecture. It depends upon too many influences. Undoubtedly Germany, France and England, the most highly organized of the military countries, will keep their people at home. Wages are likely to be high, and the socialization of industry which has taken place will enable these states to regiment their soldiers much as they have done during the war. This is not true of Russia, Angria, Italy and the Baltics. And from these countries it is safe to assume a large immigration will come. These countries have suffered, most. They are less highly organized than the other powers. The burden of taxation will be heavy, while the devastation in these countries has been very much greater. Should they lift the gates and permit their people to migrate, undoubtedly a very large, possibly a tremendous, immigration will follow the ending of the war from these countries. C How will the immigrants be financed in view of their poverty? Just as they have been financed in the past, for 80 per cent of those who come to America receive aid and assistance from friends and relatives already there. It is American money sent to Italy, Austria, Russia and Poland that stimulates emigration to this country; and in view of the general prosperity of the workers this aid will be freely granted at the close of the war. Immigration is a pretty accurate mirror of industrial conditions. When this country is prosperous, when wages are high, immigration rises. When hard times intervene and men are out of employment, immigration fails. Will Need Labor Abroad. The same rule applies to Europe. When conditions are good men remain at home, for most of those who come to America would much prefer to stay in their native countries if the conditions of life were tolerable. All of these forces will be acting and reacting on one another at the close of the war. If the European countries set themselves to rehabilitate the wastage of the war, to rebuild their roads and reman their facilities in order to capture their trade, there may be a great demand for labor. If they should work out an agricultural program for cutting up the great stretches of feudal estates into small holdings, to be sold on easy terms, this too will tend to. keep the people at home. It is likely that an agricultural revolution will follow the war and that the old oakal system which still prevails almost all over Europe to the east of Berlin will be broken up, and individual homes like those of France will be provided for the people. If such a program is implemented, there is reason for believing that it is under contemplation, immigration to America might be permanently checked for many years to come. And quite as important, hundreds of thousands of foreign-born persons might leave the United States to acquire a home in their own country. Couldn't Commit Suicide Paterson, N.

Cheese is one of our foods that is absolutely without waste and as we realize the amount of waste in meat, we will come to appreciate the value of cheese. Cheese contains no cellulose as we find in vegetables, no griege and bone as waste in meat. Baking Supplies such a variety of forms that it is always new. When preparing soap use a quart of tomatoes, a plint of water, a slice of onion, a bay leaf, a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper and mace. Cook for 15 minutes, then add two tablespoons of butter, mixed with milk, and cook until smooth, then strain through a sieve; reheat and serve with creme. Cheese because of its high nutritive value and being in such concentrated form if eaten hastily and in any amount, causes indigestion. The reason we serve hard crackers with cheese is to insure the thorough mastication of the cheese and to must of necessity chew the cracker in order to get it down. Tomato Marmalade—Peel, and slice four quarts of firm, ripe tomatoes; add four pounds of sugar, the juice and pulp of six large lemons and a cupful of raisins. Put these in a kettle in layers and cook one hour until it is quite thick. Put in jelly glasses or jars; cover with paraffin. Cheese is more wholesome if lightly cooked, but overcooking tongues it and has even more disastrous results on the digestion than overcooked meat. Cheese to be used in various dishes where grated cheese is called for, may be put through the meat grinder, in many dishes; simply cutting it in bits and then baking it in the oven is a pares of this good food thrown away, for even a bit grated may be sprinkled over a piece of pie, adding much to its attractiveness. Tomato and Apple Butter. — Take seven pounds of ripe tomatoes, four pounds of light brown sugar, one-half cupful of strong vinegar, a teaspoonful of salt, clammon, ginger and cloves. Slice the apples without peeling, cut up the tomatoes and cook in a half pint of water until tender. Then press through a colander, add the sugar and vinegar and boil until thick. Add the spices to the vinegar and can while hot. There are numberless methods of preparing cheese, as canapes, soups, entrees, omelets, souffles, with vegetables as escalloped dishes, and as dessert with a cracker and a small cupful of coffee. Canning Tomatoes Whole for Salad. —Wash the tomato, removing the stem but not the peeling; be sure that they are firm and not over-ripe and of a size that will slip into the jar without crushing. Drop them or dip them in a wire basket into a kettle of boiling water a moment to boil so that they are scalded through, then carefully clean the jar and fill up with boiling water in the jar and pass salt of added to each jar. Scout out the winter they may be used as fresh tomatoes, sliced for salad, or otherwise served. Rice Croustetes With Cheese Sauce. —Cook a cupful of milk in two and a half cupfuls of milk and a teaspoonful of salt. When tender add the yolks of two eggs, two tablespoonfuls of butter, and a dash of paprika. Chili and roll into the desired shape. Roll crumbs, then in egg and water, diluting the egg white with cold water, then roll in crumbs again and fry in hot fat, using the 40-second test. Cheese Sauce—Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, and four of flour, and when well mixed add one and a half cupfuls of milk, a half teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, and one cupful of chopped cheese. Tomatoes stuffed with various fillings make a most appetizing salad. When you have that tired feeling. When you feel inclined to shirk. What you need is more work. What you need is some more work.

These are some of the dishes that will taste like "those that mother used to make." Pot Roast of Beef. Wipe one and a half pounds of beef, cut from the forequarter and cut in half-inch cubes. Put in a casserole dish and add one sliced onion, eight slices of carrot, two sprigs of parsley, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, and a half teaspoon. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. Just now the tomato is coming into its own, and for those who enjoy this vegetable-fruit anything new will be appreciated. As there is nothing new under the sun to everybody, old ideas redressed will no doubt be welcome. Those who do not know the pleasure of a dish of "well-seeded cooked tomatoes, served on well buttered teas, have yet to try that. NUTS cuts of pepper corn. Add two cupfuls of each boiling water and tomatoes. Cover and bake in a slow oven three and a half hours. One half hour before serving time, thicken with three tablespoonfuls of butter mixed with the same amount of flour. Remove the onion, carrot, pepper corn and parsley and add a cupful of peas. Serve hot, on the croquettes. wholesome breakfast dish. One family can never get enough of the fruit put up to supply the demand just for this breakfast dish and for soup. Ohio Pudding—Mix and sift two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of sugar, three and a half teaspoonful of baking powder and a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt; cut in a third of a cupful of butter. Beet one egg, and add a cupful of milk. Combine the mixtures, beat vigorously; turn into a buttered mold, cover and steam two hours. Take fresh, nice tomatoes which have been hollowed out; fill with fresh mushrooms, fried in butter for five minutes, with a seasoning of onion, celery salt and pepper. Fried Tomatoes.—Select firm, ripe tomatoes and slice without peeling in half-inch slices, dip in beaten egg and crumbs and fry a delicate brown in a tablespoonful of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and make a cream sauce in the pan in which the tomatoes were sauté. Serve on buttered toasts with the cream sauce poured over. Oil Sauce—Cream a half a cupful of butter, and gradually beat in a cupful of brown sugar. When the mixture is well blended add four table-spoonsfuls of thick cream, a little at a time, and add four table-spoonsfuls of chopped pheasant meat, or tablespoonfuls of chopped dates, and a half teaspoonful of lemon extract. Canning Tomatoes for Salads. Here is another recipe which is highly recommended and sounds worth trying: Take, perfectly sound, not quite ripe tomatoes from the vines, leaving a half-inch of the stem on each. The tomatoes must not be bruised or cracked. Put a layer of clean grape leaves in the bottom of a large jar, then lay it in layer of tomatoes and more grape leaves until the jar is filled. Fill with water; if it is unavailable, add line-water to make it hard. The top of each jar扮 a half-inch of to keep out the air; cover tightly and keep in a cool place. In two or three weeks examine the fruit and renew the water and oil. This should be done when any fruit is taken out also. Prune Ice. Cream—Cover a cupful of prunes with cold water and let stand over night. Cook in the same water until tender in the morning, remove the stones and put the fruit through a strainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and one and a half cups of heavy cream whipped. Freeze as usual. **Rice Creamettes with Cheese Sauce.** Make seasoned rice into crepes and add a cupful of grated rice to a thick rich cream sauce. The sauce may be made with rich milk as the cheese will add richness to the sauce. Serve hot, surrounded with dumplings. Tomatoes scooped out and an egg dropped into the cavity, seasoned and baked until the egg is set, is a dish well liked, though not new. Boston Brown Bread—Take a cupful of corn meal, two cupfuls of rye meal, a teaspoonful of salt, a half cupful of molasses, a teaspoonful of soda and a pint of sour milk; beat well to Nellie Maxwell Word of Different Meanings Of Little Use on the Earth.

"Do you think you can turn the baser meat into gold?" "Undoubtedly—if you can guess watch way the stock market is going." AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS One of the outstanding developments of the last few years is the growth of racial consciousness. The latest Negro Four Best reflects this. Not only are the upsets of the heroes of the race recorded but also the individual wealth of Negroes is described with pride. For example, the rise in the price of oil is said to have boosted the income of Sarah Becter, a young girl of Taft, Ohio, to 1500 a day. As the descendant of a Orca freedman, she happened to be allotted a piece of land in the oil district. Single taxers would hardly share in the enjoyment of this record. But it has its significance in a cumulative way. Says Monroe N. Work, editor of the volume: "Through purchases and increases in values, property, holdings of Negroes of the country increased during the year by probably $30,000,000. It is estimated that on the basis of actual values and, including exempted and nontaxable property the total wealth of the Negroes of the United States is about $1,000,000,000. They own 21,000,000 acres of land, or more than $2,000 square miles, an area greater than that of the state of South Carolina." This private accumulation and public emphasis on the power of property is the Negro's answer to the white man's concern concerning his plight. The Negro's possession of wealth is doing for the Negro what the white man's conscience failed to do. Radical consciousness in the beginning of racial self-reliance. In an immense variety of ways the Negro is using his own resources to push forward his race, and, too, from many sources he is being aided. Jalius Rosenwald, among others, has made interesting gifts to the rural schools. All this activity, the training of the Negro for more and more important services, is bound to have its consequences. On the one hand segregation is increasing—since 1911 13 cities and towns have adopted segregation ordinances—and on the other hand the Negroes are shaped by the schools and other institutions to share in the manifold efforts of the country. Here, in truth, is a genuine conflict of forces. What is the solution? Is if that of the Brazilian statesman who was quoted by Colonel Roosevelt as follows? "You of the United States are keeping the Blacks as an entirely separate element and you are not treating them in self-respect. They need resisis as a menacing element in your civilization, permanent, and perhaps after a while a growing element. With us this tends to disappear, because the blacks tend to disappear and to become absorbed. In a century there will not be any Negroes in Brazil, while you will be 20,000,000 or 30,000,000 of them." Negroes are being absorbed in the United States, despite our hostility to miscegenation. The number of muftiates steadily increases and the number of blacks decreases, despite the widespread laws forbidding intermarriage between the races. Unless the Negro's attitude toward this absorption changes, the gradual disappearance of a colored race seems to be the prospect in America—Chicago Herald. John Pratt came into town and found employment in a pressing club. He washed windows and did errands. Commendation for the progress made by the colored race during the last 50 years in the face of strong race prejudice was bestowed by H.

Mr. Williams said: "You have faced it like men, and have made your way up in spite of the utmost Following the address of Mr. Willis, the conference took the form of a permanent organization with the election of Rev.

Alexander of Baltimore secretary; S. L. Curtrhers, secretary; W. A. Taylor, correspondent secretary, and W. D. Chairman of the executive committee. The organization, on the question of indorsing the Republican nominee for president, voted to appoint a committee of nine to wait upon Mr. Hughes and ascertain his views and purposes in regard to the colored race.

Frazer fitted up a chair, bought a pair of clippers, and advertised for clients; that is, he at first cut hair for nothing. Then, as he mastered the art, he charged five cents, then ten cents, and so on till he reached the standard price of 25 cents. Mentime he had bought a farm and a horse. He said: "I'll take this horse and land and make it pay for another place." Strenely had he embarked on this proposition when a few choice acres of land on the west side of Auburn were put up for sale. Strangely enough, it was the land of Frazer's father's master. Frazer bought it. He put up a three-story building. He has abandoned the pressing club, but sells clothing. He still runs a business. His second floor is an assembly room for lodges and amusements. On the third floor he has an understory establishment. A few paces from the store he has built a home. A little further on he has put up a hotel cottage, a rare place in the South, with clean, airy rooms, and up-to-date cooking and service. Negro problems are to be considered as a part of the course in sociology at Howard university this year. Prof. Kelly Miller is to teach the first semester, and Dr. R. E. Parks, professional lecturer in sociology of Chicago university, is to teach the second semester of the subject. In order that the course may be available for city school teachers and others interested the time has been set for three o'clock Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. The aim is to embrace such topics as growth, distribution and tendency of Negro population, segregation, occupation, crime, vital statistics, education, religious and benevolent organizations, and also the discussion of remedial agencies and the general progress of the race. The advisability of naming colored bishops in the Protestant Episcopal church will be discussed at the general convention in Sa Louis this month. A special commission of bishops, clergymen and laymen, appointed at the 1013 convention to investigate the question, has completed its reports, one a majority favoring the naming of colored bishops, the other a minority report opposing the proposal. The majority report, which includes the signature of the chairman, and bishops of North Carolina, Texas and Mississippi and the lay members from Virginia and Rhode Island recommends grouping the colored members of the church in the southern dioceses into one or more missionary districts over which colored bishops would be placed. The minority report is signed by the bishops of South Carolina and Georgia, Reverend Doctor Stires of New York and Judge Joseph Packard of Baltimore, who favor election of suffragan bishops for this work. ecutive committee opposed the appointment of the committee and urged the immediate indorsement of Mr. Hughes. President Jernagin, in speaking of the conditions among the colored race, said that in the last six months more than 500,000 colored persons had left the South for New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio and northwestern states to take the places of foreign laborers who have returned to their respective countries. He assented the employers are more than satisfied with them as laborers and are willing to employ 1,000,000 more. He said the leaders of the colored race feel that there are too many of their race in the South get, and that every effort would be made to secure the migration of the surplus to northern and western states.

Correspondent Tells How He Was Searched When About to Leave Country. MINUTE EXAMINATION Every Article of Clothing Gets Clese Scrutiny and Ordeal Is Quite Humilizing for Women of Tender Senses. FRANZ HUGO KREBS, in New York Times. New York.—The examination which one has to undergo when entering or leaving Germany is very stringent and trying, and as the war continues is gradually becoming more rigid. A friend of mine who had come into Germany a few days before told me that on reaching Warmenuende tickets were given out, and that passengers of the number on the ticket; so I arranged matters with the conductor of the train from Berlin. He told me where to stand just before we reached Warmenuende, pointed out to me, when we arrived, the man who gave out the tickets—and I received No. 1 Entering, a building, right by the train, I was told to go through a long room, and was halted at the door of another room and asked to produce my passport. After it had been carefully scrutinized I was passed into another room. There I found a porter with my grips and hatbox, and I was asked to identify my trunk. All my luggage was then placed on a wooden bench, and an officer and subofficer came over to take charge of the examination. Search Was Thorough. I never pack my trunk; it had been packed by the chambermaid at the Hotel Bristol, on Unter den Linden, and when I left Warmenmuebe its appearance begged description. All my handkerchiefs, collars, shirts, drawers and socks were examined, one by one, to see whether any concealed papers could be located or whether anything was written on or sewed into them. Handkerchiefs were entirely unfolded, shirts, drawers and socks were turned inside out, and always there was a careful and persistent search. Every crease was examined. My soap was cut in pieces and a stick of camphor lce that had been cut in two places when I came into Germany was cut in another place. First the grips were examined, and then the hatbox; then, tray by tray, everything in the trunk was gone over. my boots and slippers were examined with great care, and, fortunately, I had no boots that had been recently resoled or reheated; otherwise they might have been ripped apart! This, I was told, is frequently done. Coming into Germany the examinings officer had torn out the stand in my hatbox, on which the hat rested. I and this fixed in Berlin, but I might better have waited until I returned to New York, because, as it was impossible for him to get his hands between the stand on which the hat rested and the side of the box, the examiner simply tore the stand out. The band of my silk hat was pushed up, to see whether anything was concealed underneath, and the cushion for brushing the hat was ripped open. Suspect Paris Hat. My evening hat was opened. Although it was bought in the United States, it seems that it had been made in Paris, and as that fact was stamped inside, I had a feeling that it did not lessen the care with which it was examined. In the bottom of my trunk there were about a dozen summer shirts; I had not worn them since the previous summer, and each had a piece of cardboard placed in it when laundered in order to hold the shirt in shape. The cardboard was taken out of each shirt and laid aside. This completed the examination of my luggage, and I was then told to go with another, sub officer and submit to a personal examination. I was directed to go into a compartment and was told to take off all my clothing except my undershirt. I was also told to take everything out of my pockets and put it on a shelf. Banknotes were unfolded, one by one, to see that there was no tissue between; my matchsafe was opened, so was a small metal case that I carry my subway tickets in. The outer and inner cases of my watch were opened. The pockets of my top coat, counter, and dressers were inside, inside out, and fingers passed over every seam. My boots and socks, drawers and shirt received the same careful attention previously accorded those in my trunk. The band around the hat I wore was, pushed up and the sweatband was turned down. Next I was handed a paper to sign, stating that everything had been returned to me, and I was told that my examination was over. The examination of suspected women is, of course, conducted by woman inspectors, and I was told that clipher dispatches written on oil paper have sometimes been discovered, and that the examination is rigid in the extreme. In fact, American women who consider going to Germany before the end of the war must make up their minds in advance that they may possibly be subjected to an examination that to many would be humiliating.

NAVY NEEDS MANY NEW MEN Campaign for Recruits Planned by Officials to Show Young Fellows Advantages of Service. Washington.—Plans for an active enlistment campaign have been put on foot by the navy department to procure the sailors and marines provided for in the recent preparedness legislation. More than 2,500 recruits a month will be required to bring the navy up to the 20,000 authorized increase in personnel. Judging from the army's experience in the past few months naval officers realize they will have a hard time finding suitable young men. Even during the Mexican crisis army enlistments seldom were more than 3,000 a month. The navy will immediately begin an educational campaign. Literature describing life on a man-of-war will be scattered on wide-land, and motion pictures portraying the romance of a sailor's life will be made. The navy intends to go into the rural districts, and there as well as in the big showhouses of the metropolitan sections will the life of Uncle Sam's guardians of the waves be thrown on the screens. Special inducements have been arranged by congress to tempt young men to take up the service as a professon. Pensions and bonuses for long-time collitions have been provided and the department's literature will call attention to the opportunities of the seamen to provide a nest egg against the incapacity of old age. The 2,500 men a month needed will go partly toward the authorized increase and partly toward filling up the gaps created through honorable discharges. The department expects a considerable decrease in the number of men to serve, owing to the special inducements that are now being offered. In recent years, recruits have been none too plentiful, as there is considerable ignorance as to how well the navy really pays and what chances it offers a young man to see the world and save money. The navy intends to dispel this ignorance. THIS DOG WAITS ALL NIGHT Stands Guard Over Well Where He Thought His Master Waste-Stays Until Owner Appears. Petersburg, Ind.-Strother Ingler, a young farmer living near Pearl, Pike county, took his bird dog to the home of his father, Arnold Ingler, about two miles away, and on his return home stopped at an old well by the rond to draw, a bucket of water. The dog was very excited. A friend who saw Ingler at the well asked Ingler to ride home in his buggy, and Ingler stepped from the well curbing into the buggy, but forgot to whistle for his dog. A few minutes later the dog returned, and not finding Ingler, looked into the well. His nose followed the well rope, and he howled and tried to attract the attention of the Ingler family. Ingler's father saw the dog, but paid no attention to his barking. It rained all that night, but the dog sat beside the well, and in the morning again barked continually. The dog did not leave until its master came to get it in the afternoon, after his father had telephoned to young Ingler and told him of the dog's behavior.

BEST TYPES CANNOT COME Germany, France and England Will Not Let Their People Leave When Peace Prevails, an Official Predicts. New York—Immigration at the port of New York continues to be fast locked by the European war. Even the shortage of labor, the exceptional prosperity and the high wages being paid have failed to stimulate emigration from those countries which have not placed an embargo upon it. Thus runs an article by Frederic C. Howe, Commissioner of Immigration, in a recent issue of the World. Under the circumstances we would expect the vacuum created by the closing of the borders of Germany, England, France, Russia, Austria-Hungary, Poland and Italy against emigration to have stimulated the flow from Scandinavia, Denmark, Holland, Spain and Portugal, whose gates are still open to the outgoing flood. This has not occurred. For the four years prior to the war immigration averaged in the neighborhood of 900,000 a year at the port of New York. The first year of the war it Well to 243,000. The second year it fell still further, to 176,000. The outgoing flood has more than accrualized the incoming tide. The second year of the warulation during these two years was 20,783. There is still some immigration from Italy, and a considerable immigration from Greece, although the immigrants from these countries are largely men over the military age and wives and children coming to this country to join husbands or parents. During the three months, May, June and July, 1916, 8,053 Greeks entered at the port of Athens, and 808 Scandinavians. Should the war be extended over the eclipse, Balkan peninsula, as now seems quite probable, southern immigration will be reduced to Italy and Spain. Pure Conjecture After Close of War. Pure conjecture After Close of War. As to what will happen after the war, that is pure conjecture. It depends upon too many influences. Undoubtedly Germany, France and England, the most highly organized of the military countries, will keep their people at home. Wages are likely to be high, and the socialization of industry which has taken place will enable these states to regiment their soldiers much as they have done during the war. This is not true of Russia and France, and Canada. And from these countries it is safe to assume a large immigration will come. These countries have suffered most. They are less highly organized than the other powers. The burden of taxation will be heavy, while the devastation in these countries has been very much greater. Should they lift the gates and permit their people to migrate, undoubtedly a very large, possibly a tremendous, immigration will follow the ending of the war from these countries. BURNER How will the immigrants be financed in view of their poverty? Just as they have been financed in the past, for $80 per cent of those who come to America receive aid and assistance from friends and relatives already here. It is American money sent to Italy, Austria, Russia and Poland that stimulates emigration to this country; and in view of the general prosperity of the workers this aid will be freely granted at the close of the war. Immigration is a pretty accurate mirror of industrial conditions. When this country is prosperous, when wages are high, immigration rises. When hard times intervene and men are out of employment, immigration falls. Will Need Labor Abroad. The same rule applies to Europe. When conditions are good men remain at home, for most of those who come to America would much prefer to stay in their native countries if the conditions of life were tolerable. All of these forces will be acting and reacting on one another at the close of the war. If the European countries set themselves to rehabilitation the wastage of the war, to rebuild their roads and rename their factories in order to receptive to industry, there may be a demand for labor. If they should work out an agricultural program for cutting up the great stretches of feudal estates into small holdings, to be sold on easy terms, this too will tend to keep the people at home. It is likely that an agricultural revolution will follow the war and that the old foulish system which still prevails almost all over Europe to the east of Berlin will be broken up, and individual homes like those of France will be provided for the people. If such a program as the Treaty of Paris is reason for believing that it is under contemplation, immigration to America might be permanently checked for many years to come. And quite as important, hundreds of thousands of foreign-born persons might leave the United States to acquire a home in their own country. Couldn't Commit Suicide. Courtenay Paterson, N.

If you have never tried the combination of tomato with the tart apple in marmalade you have something yet for which to live. C FOOD WITH NO WASTE. Cheese is one of our foods that is absolutely without waste and as we You will never find any left over tomato soup in the spring no matter how much you prepare, for this soup may be served in realize the amount of waste in meat, we will come to apreciate the value of cheese. Cheese contains no cellulose as we find in vegetables, no grieze the and bone as waste in meat. Baking Supplies such a variety of forms that it is always new. When preparing soap use a quart of tomatoes, a plint of water, a slice of onion, a bay leaf, a teaspoonful of salt and a dash of pepper and juice. Cook for 15 minutes, then add butter, mixed with four of flour, cook together until smooth, then strain through a sieve, reheat and serve with croutons. Cheese because of its high nutritive value and being in such concentrated form if eaten hastily and in any amount, causes indigestion. The reason we serve hard crackers with cheese is to insure the thorough digestion of the cheese as we must of necessity chew the cheese in order to get it down. Tomato Marmalade—Peel and slice four quarts of firm, ripe tomatoes; add four pounds of sugar, the juice and pulp of six large lemons and a cupful of mishins. Put these in a kettle in layers and cook one hour until it is quite thick. Put in jelly glasses or jars; cover with paraffin. Cheese is more wholesome if lightly cooked, but overcooking togheus it and has even more disastrous results on the digestion than overcooked meat. Cheese to be used in various dishes where grated cheese is called for, may be put through the meat grinder, in many dishes; simply cutting it in bits is sufficient. If the cheese of this good food throw away, for even a bit grated may be sprinkled over a piece of pl, adding much to its attractiveness. Tomato and Apple Butter. — Take seven pounds of ripe tomatoes, four pounds of light brown sugar, one-half cupful of strong vinegar, a teaspoonful of salt, cinnamon, ginger and cloves. Slice the apples without peeling, cut up the tomatoes and cook in a half pint of water until tender. Then press through a colander, add the sugar and vinegar and boil until thick. Add the spices to the vinegar and can while hot. There are numberless methods of preparing cheese, as canapes, soups, entrees, omelets, souffles, with vegetables as escalloped dishes, and as dessert with a cracker and a small cupful of coffee. Canning Tomatoes Whole for Salad. —Wash the tomato, removing the stem but not the peeling; be sure that they are firm and not over-ripe and of a size that will slip into the jar without crushing. Drop them or dip them in a wire basket into a kettle of boiling water a moment to boil so that they are scalded through, then carefully transfer them to the jar and fill up with boiling water with a teaspoonful of salt. When the tomatoes the winter they may be used as fresh tomatoes, sliced for salad, or otherwise served. Rice Croquettes With Cheese Sauce. —Cook a cupful of rice in two and a half cupfuls of milk and a teaspoonful of salt. When tender add the yolks of two eggs, two tablepoonfuls of butter, and a dash of paprika. Chill and roll into the desired shape. Roll crumbs, then in egg and water, dilute the egg white with cold water, then roll in crumbs again and fry in hot fat, using the 40-second test. Cheese Sauce—Melt three tablespoonfuls of butter, and four of flour, and when well mixed add one and a half cupfuls of milk, a half teaspoonful of salt, a fourth of a teaspoonful of paprika, and one cupful of chopped cheese. Tomatoes stuffed with various fillings make a most appetizing salad. When you have that tired feeling When you feel tired shirk What you need to cause concealment What you need in some more work Is not the sin of sin, unkindness? Because of it tears flow, hopes die, friendships are strained and heartless, widens the breach between rich and poor, labor and capital, the fortune and the unfortunate. Just to be kind heartens the discourased, strengthens the heart, is easy to carry. J. Wilbur Chapman. FOOD FOR THE FAMILY. These are some of the dishes that will taste like "those that mother used to make." Pot Roast of Beef.—Wipe one and a half pounds of beef, cut from the forequarter and cut in half-inch cubes. Put in a casserole dish and add one sliced onion, eight slices of carrot, two sprigs of parsley, one and one-half teaspoonfuls of salt, and a half teaspoon. GOOD THINGS FOR THE TABLE. Just now the tomato is coming into its own, and for those who enjoy this vegetable fruit anything new will be appended. As there is nothing new under the sun to everybody, old ideas redressed will no doubt be welcome. Those who do not know the pleasure of a dish of* well-seasoned cooked tomatoes, served on gell buttered toast, have yet to try that COOKING tulps of pepper corn. Add two cupfuls of each boiling water and tomatoes. Add bake and in a slow oven three and a half hours. One half hour before serving time, thicken with three tablespoonfuls of butter mixed with the same amount of flour. Remove the onion, carrot, pepper corn and parsley and add a cupful of peas. Serve hot, on the croquettes. wholesome breakfast dish. One family can never get enough of the fruit pair up to supply the demand just for this breakfast dish and for soup. Ohio Pudding—Mix and sift two and one-half cupfuls of flour, one-half cupful of sugar, three and a half teaspoonfuls of baking powder and a fourth of a teaspoonful of salt; cut in a third of a cupful of butter. Beet one egg, and add a cupful of milk. Combine the mixtures, beat vigorously; turn into a buttered mold, cover and steam two hours. Take fresh, nice tomatoes which have been hollowed out; fill with fresh mushrooms, fried in butter for five minutes, with a seasoning of onion, celery salt and pepper. Fried Tomatoes—Select firm, ripe tomatoes and slice without peeling in half-inch slices, dip in beaten egg and crumbs and fry a delicate brown in a tablepoonful of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper and make a cream sauce in the pan in which the tomatoes were sauté. Serve on buttered toast with the cream sauce poured over. Oil sauce—Cream a half a cupful of butter, and gradually beat in a cupful of brown sugar. When the mixture is well blended add four tablespoons of thick cream, a little at a time, and two tablespoons of chopped peanuts in tablespoons of chopped dates, and a half teaspoonful of lemon extract. Canning Tomatoes for Salads—Here is another recipe which is highly recommended and sounds worth trying: Take, perfectly sound, not quite ripe tomatoes from the vines, leaving a half-inch of the stem on each. The tomatoes must not be bruised or cracked. Put a layer of clean grape leaves in the bottom of a large glass jar, then lay it a layer of tomatoes and more grape leaves until the jar is filled. Fill with water to make it not obtainable, add line-water to make it. On the top of each jar pour a half-inch of water to keep out the air; cover tightly and keep in a cool place. In two or three weeks examine the fruit and renew the water and oil. This should be done when any fruit is taken out also. Prune ice Cream—Cover a cupful of prunes with cold water and let stand over night. Cook in the same water until tender in the morning, remove the stones and put the fruit through a strainer. Add a cupful of sugar, four tablespoonfuls of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and one and a fourth cupfuls of heavy cream whipped. Freeze as usual. Rice Croquettes With Cheese Sauce —Make seasoned rice into croquettes and add a cupful of grated rice to a thick rich cream sauce. The sauce may be made with rich milk as the cheese will add richness to the sauce. Serve hot, surrounded with dumplings. Tomatoes scooped out and an egg dropped into the cavity, seasoned and baked until the egg is set, is a dish well liked, though not new. Boston Brown Bread—Take a cupful of corn meal, two cupfuls of rye meal, teaspoonful of salt, a half cup of milk, a teaspoon of teaspoon and a pint of sour milk; well be to Nellie Maxwell Of Little Use on the Earth.

NOW THE BRITISH BROUGHT DOWN TWO MIGHTY ZEPPELIN RAIDERS London Turned Out in Its Night Clothes to Watch Thrilling Specacle of Battle Between Great Airships From Germany and Flock of Defending Aeroplanes and Land Guns—People Showed No Fright, and Millions Cheered When One Invader Shot to Earth, a Mass of Flames. London.—The most formidable air of history apparently, has been at the same time the greatest failure, serious rulers on England carried out by two or even one allyship have exacted a far more severe toll of life and brought tremendous damage as compared with what was done by the fleet of 13 Zeppelins which came to London early one morning recently, while, on the other hand, for the second time in the history, of the present war two of the mighty Zeppelins were actually brought down and one was destroyed. On one other occasion a Zeppelin was forced to come down and was lost in the Thames. This time the airships are not met in the British through the good work of the British Flying after what was beyond a doubt the most thrilling battle in the air which has ever occurred. The real story of the raid and the battle in the air cannot be told, at the present, and all attempts to describe what happened during the night must be limited to the accounts which are sanctioned for publication by the official press bureau. What the Airships Did. The sum total of casualties and damage caused by the 13 Zeppellins is as follows: Killed—Thirty persons. Injured—About 100 persons. Twenty-five houses and some outbuildings slightly damaged in the Metropolitan police area. Two water mains cut. A number of cottages, and a church damaged in other areas. A fire at some gas works. Remarkable scenes were witnessed a London while the antiaircraft guns were blazing away at the raiders, from the roof of the Savoy hotel, the correspondent obtained a perfect view of the airships brought down. They presented a wonderful sight, caught in the glare of more than a dozen searchlights, illuminating them from every angle. The light flashed as a signal by the victorious airman was plainly becomel above the destroyed raider and a minute later flames were seen to burst forth from the huge airship, shells were bursting all around it. The giant machine, now only a mass of flames, fell rapidly, meteorlike, to the ground, but so great was its height the time when it met its doom that it fall seemed slow. Throngs on Streets. In London theaters, restaurants, cafes and bars close promptly at night under the new Defense of the realm regulations, but although it was seen after two o'clock in the morning the streets were packed and a wild car of cheers hailed the fall and destruction of the unwelcome raider. Hurrying from the roof to the ground floor of the hotel, the correspondent, although having already seen air raids on London, witnessed ever-to-be-forgotten scenes. Staircases and corridors were thronged with people aroused from their slumers, but few indeed were those who displayed the slightest sign of fear. Women, who shortly before midnight had been dancing in the ballroom of the Savoy, elaborately gowned and elewed, were camping on the stairs of scanty night attire. Of men there were few to be seen. In private cars, excursions or even afoot they had already started for the spot where the mains of the Zeppelin and the bodies of crew were then being consumed by the flames. The little suburb of Cuffey, near Enfield, about eighteen miles from the center of London, where the Zeppelin set its fate, jumped into sudden faince and became the scene of a continuous disfigurement of sightseers from all parts of the metropolis. Those who expected to carry off a bomb would event, however trifling, were disappointed, for every particle of the wreckage that had escaped the attention of early collectors had easily passed into official custody. Flock to the Scene. The scenes at Cuffley were of a remarkable character. Hundreds of thousands of persons locked to see the creaked raider, and such was the connection on the local railway that an order had eventually to be issued that all bookings must cease. When night time hundreds were stranded and many made the return journey partly a foot. The superintendent of aircraft construction and other high officers connected with the flying services were early upon the scene and spent a considerable time inspecting the machinery parts of the Zappellin which had to then been recovered. Sir Sig. Hamug, Canadian minister of militia, was among the first to inspect the wreckage. The airship to earth with such force that such the machinery, including the engines, can be weighted a quarer of a ton, was deeply buried in the earth. The work of digging these valuable parts of the debris out proceeded until dusk. As each piece of machinery was recovered it was carefully inspected and a large number of cases photographed from different angles by a special staff of official photographers. Sent Woman Cigars.

A special constrain has a brilling account of the tragedy. "When I reached the spot," he said, "the Zeppelin—a mungled mass of ruins—was a scathing furnace, with tongues of bissing flames licking the framework, and reducing it to molten metal. So fierce was the heat that it was at first impossible to approach to close quarters. Pulls of water had to be fetched from a pond in a field some distance away to cool the remains, and the work of extracting the bodies was proceeded with. That of the commander of the Zeppelin was first discovered. His left hand was still resting on the steering wheel but his right hand had been torn away. "Close by, the charred remains of six other members of the crew were with difficulty extricated from the wreck entanglement to which the skeleton of the fabric had been reduced, and were taken to the outhouse of a neighboring inn. Upon the hand of one was found a diamond ring. "Four engines were taken from the crumpled airship, together with a clock, which survived intact, the hands stopping at ten minutes past three." Saw the Raiders. The arrival of the German raiders over the suburbs of London is related as follows by one who saw the destruction of the airship from one of the heights of Cuffley, where the raider came to grief. "Some time after midnight the silence was bitten into by the deep boom of guns. Occasionally the maze of noise was pierced by gun finishes. The boom of the guns found an answering echo along the hills and valleys in the distance. For a time nothing could be heard, but the unwavered sound Gradually our ears caught the sound of a dull drooning noise overhead. It came nearer, getting louder and louder, until it resembled the roar of a fast traveling train. "I swept the skies with my glasses. The outline of an airship was faintly discernible crossing out of the mist from east to west. It hovered about for a while as though the crew were trying to find their bearings. Suddenly it began to bear north. It swerved shortly and moved rapidly westward again, turning later and making straight for the south at a high speed. "Once more it turned east until it came astride the main road to — when it bore steadily along parallel with the road. Searchlights Shine Out. "Meanwhile searchlights were played east, west, north and south of the road, their range stretching far out like the tentacles of an octopus. So far the ruler had managed to evade the light. Now, however, one ray fell full across its path. It lighted the alirship up beautifully, making it look like a monster silver-scaled fish. Other rays were concentrated and began to play on the monster. The sky was now one blaze of revealing light in the vicinity. "In vain did the Zeppelin move about, hither and thither, seeking a way of escape. Everywhere the rider was pursued by those fatal rays. The gun began to play around the alirship. Shells burst all around. Some got very close. The alirship made a quick maneuver as though to escape northward. The pitiless searchlight followed and the raider was caught between two powerful rays and lined against a dark bank of clouds. "That was the beginning of the end. There was a gun flash, followed by a roar. The raider was struck. Through my glasses I could plainly see it reel and rock under the hit. Then it began to descend earthward, very slowly. It could not now escape the rain of missiles. After the next hit the rear part of the Zeppelin broke into flames. The ship then foundered about in the air as though its crew had lost control of it. It was now one mass of flame, looking like a blazing house suspended in midair. There was no question of escape. Its descent quickened, and finally it crashed to earth less than a mile from the height on which we had watched. Crow in Midst of Flames. "As it approached the ground the figures of the crew could be seen wreathed by flames. Two of them either fell or jumped from the albatross when it was about two hundred feet above the ground. While the blazing raider was suspended helpless in the air three loud explosions were heard in rapid succession. It was after the last of these that the final earthward plunge was made. "The fight was watched by crowds on the hillsides for miles around. As the monster took her final plunge, round after round of cheers blended with the boom of the guns." An occupant of one of the very few houses situated in the district where the Zeppelin fell says: "Suddenly the Zeppelin assumed a perfectly perpendicular position, and a tremendous flame burst from her, traveling from the bottom to the top. It was for all the world like applying messenger arrived as well. He took the box of cigars into the judge, whereupon the judge, thinking it was the book package, addressed it to Maline and it was sent off. Later the box of cigars was returned from Maline. Another Trick of Fate. Bochester, N. Y.—John Whittaker, who returned recently unharmed after a year's service in the trenchies in France, unfurled concussion of the brain in a football game here recently. a match to a new incandescent gas burner. She slid down toward the ground, and it all happened in about fifteen seconds. "I made for the spot where she fell, and found her a huge heap of broken metal. There was smoldering in some area. Shortly afterward the fire beige arrived on the scene and the hose was played on her for some time." Sees Zeppelin Fall. "I saw a Zeppelin completely focused by several powerful searchlights. It appeared to be at a great height, but it seemed that it must be hit at any moment, so splendid was the marksmanship of our gunners. Presently the Zeppelin disappeared in the low-lying clouds, and while the searchlights continued to play on the spot where the Zeppelin had been focussed a glow spread over the sky and gradually extended and increased in its intensity until the whole heavens were illuminated. In the center of this magnificent glow was a huge flame, which soon became larger and larger. It was quickly apparent that Zeppelin could well call the airship fitted at an angle of some 80 degrees, and in a few seconds the confugation extended the full length of the airship. Almost as suddenly the huge blaze subsided into a dull red glow, and the spectacle was at an end." Yet another spectator saw it thus: "The air was full of the reports of anti-aircraft guns and falling bombs. Suddenly a great blaze of light appeared in the sky at an altitude of many thousands of feet. A great column of flame shot up, and a great cloud of smoke could be seen rolling above the fire. The flames shot up hundreds of feet. "As the raider slowly fell to the earth its appearance suggested a huge fiery parachute. The blazing mass gathered speed as it fell while the gondolls continued contracted. By the time the airship was within a thousand feet of the ground all the gas had apparently left the bag, and only the solid framework and the gondolls containing the wrecked engines and the scorched and lifeless bodies of the crew reached the ground." Centered in Light Ball. Another watcher on a hill north of London thus describes the plight of the Zeppelin before it was hit: "When the guns opened fire the Zeppelin had already been centered in the ball of light created by the myriad arms of light lights which shot up suddenly from the darkness of the city. The Zeppelin was at a great height—so great, indeed, that it seemed just like a bar of polished steel, about the thickness of an engine piston rod, and there it remained, apparently motionless and undedded—which way to go, while the guns peppered it without cessation. "Shells burst around it, in front and behind it, above and below it. It made to turn as if it in the direction of the coast, but a shell burst immerse near its nose and caused it to swing its tail and it made to ascend still higher, when a shell burst directly over it. Another descent was necessary, and three shells burst simultaneously below it. Behind it and in front of it two shells burst at the same time. The Zeppelin wriggled like some leviathan in the colls. It seemed impossible for it to go north, south, east or west, and there it stood for a second or two, helpless to move, with the shells bursting all around it." Aeroplanes in Pursuit. One who witnessed the end from a country lane on the northern outskirts of London at a distance of eight or nine miles heard the Zeppelin pass over first and then aeroplanes in pursuit. He said: "If there was no explosion from bombs the lack of noise from this source was made up by the whir of aeroplanes in pursuit. They took up the chase through the white fog. The Zeppelin flew off and darkness once more reigned. "The country became as light as day and a glow of red illuminated everything. For a few moments the flame was so intense that it was easy to read the print of newspapers, and the objects in the thick fog were magnified two or three times their usual size. It was a fantastic scene. "A four followed and darkness again fell. A moment later the whole scene was again enacted and then the countryside was once more swallowed up in darkness." A flying officer said the destroyed Zeppelin appeared to him to be larger and longer than the usual type although he was not in a position to say that it was a super Zeppelin. The second Zeppelin, slightly damaged, came down near the const. the crew's plane. The crew has been removed to an east coast arsenal. Reports given out by the official press bureau stated that 80 persons had been killed during the raid and about 100 injured. The property damage amounted to about $1,000,000. Hunting Crows: Hurt Himself. Middletown, N. Y.-George Neill, a farmer of Jeffersonville, took his gun and went out to shoot crowds which were raiding his cornfield. As he was about to raise his gun to fire at a crow the weapon was discharged, sending the charge into his foot and shooting off one of his toes, besides badly injuring his foot. The farmer then harnessed his team and drove several miles to have a surgeon dress the wound. Auto Horn Alive. Trenton, N. J. — James B.

THE BYSTANDER Chief Part of its Construction is a Platform Supported by Wheels, Running on a Curved Track —Cost of Building Not Great. The problem of building a garage that is accessible to one driving a motor even though it opens on an alley so narrow that a car cannot back out of the structure, has been solved by designing a door at the side instead of the garage. The hinged edge of the door is farthest from the alley. Projecting from, and fastened to, the inner side of the door near its free edge is a platform that lies close to the ground and is supported This Side Door, to Which a Low Plat form Supported by Wheels Is Attached, Makes a Garage Facing on a Narrow Alley Easily Accessible. This Side Door, to Which a Low Platform Supported by Wheels is Attached, Makes a Garage Facing on a Narrow Alley Easily Accessible. by wheels that run on a curved truck embedded in the ground. To put up a car, it is driven through the open door until its bind wheels rest on the platform. The door is then swung around, carrying the rear of the car with it. By reversing the procedure the car can be backed into the alley easily. The cost of constructing this door is not great.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. WHERE THE POWER SHOWS Heavy Trucks That Are So Much Used for Commercial Purposes Effect Imense Saving. Nowhere is the automobile vehicle displayed in a higher degree of efficiency than in the big power-driven coal trucks and the wagons for the conveyance of building materials, now so common. The big coal truck carries four, six, ten times the load of the old-time one-horse coal cart, and goes and comes four times as fast, and it's just the same with the brick and sand wagons. Here was a big wagon loaded with brick coming up the street at a good smart clip to swing out in, front of a building under construction, and there, with ample power, to back up to just where they wanted the brick dumped. There the driver starts the automatic tilting mechanism, and in a minute he has dumped his big load and is off for another, with that tilted wagon body setting down into position again as he disappears down the street; really an engaging illustration of the big power-driven wagon as it is seen in action. Sand Sprava Prevent Skidding Sand Sprays Prevent Skidding. A sandbox for motor trucks and automobiles, operated in a manner similar to the sandbox of locomotives, but which spreads the sand sideways to prevent skidding, is one of the latest inventions. On either side of the car, below the running board, are sandboxes connected by piping with a compressed air cylinder situated at the back of the car under the seat. Air is compressed by a simple attachment to the drive shaft of the car and the discharge is carried into the rear of the driver's seat. The compressed air forces out the sand, which is thrown against curved screens that depend from the running board immediately in front of the wheels. The screens reflect back the sand, throwing it to each side and thus making a sand track sufficiently wider than the wheels as to make it virtually impossible for these to skid. The invention promises to be cheap enough to come into common use, and ought to be useful on icy surfaces. Caring for the Car Realizing that the good appearance of their cars in owners' hands has much to do with popular impression concerning their qualities, a number of manufacturers are supplying cans of body polish as regular equipment. Dealers' instructions and even letters to new owners emphasize the importance of taking proper care of the finish of the car, especially through the consistent use of a preparation that is designed to preserve its luster. Speeding In Rio de Janiero. Claim may be made that nowhere in South America do automobiles run so rapidly as in Rio de Janeiro, and in few other cities are they as numerous. The many circular and gradually lengthening boulevards in and about the Brazilian capital prove ideal tracks. There is *speed limit*, but it is rarely observed, and double driveways diminishing the danger of collisions, but of course not entirely preventing them. New Puncture-Proof Tire Idea. New Puncture-Proof Tires One of the newest ideas in puncture-proof auto tires is designed upon the same principle that re-earnced concrete structures are built. A framework is manufactured in tube form from more elastic vegetable fiber. It is then poured in to fill up the plate while hot. It solidifies in cooling and becomes elastic and strong enough to resist short read breaches. It is claimed to be the more durable than the solid rubber tire and also more elastic.

Would Seem Destined to Have Place in the Equipment of All Auto- mobile Drivers. An automobile-tire tool which is so designed as not to damage the inner e tool which is so damage the inner tube when removing a tire, consists of two iron parts: a straight, removable handle, and an irregularly-shaped bar hav tube wheel removing a tire, consists of two iron parts: a straight, removable handle, and an irregularly-shaped a double curve in the center. From one side of this curve extends a large irregular hook; from the opposite side a small hook. To remove a tire, the wheel is locked up about two inches and with the aid of the handle as a pry, the hook is worked under the tire until it engages the rim. The handle is inserted in its socket at the end of the tool and pressed against the hub. By turning the wheel back and forth the lower end of the tool is made to strike the earth repeatedly, gradually forcing the tire off. To replace the tire it is deflated and partly put on by hand. Then the small hook on the tool is inserted to engage the wheel rim. By turning the wheel back and forth as before, the tire is gradually forced into position.—Popular Mechanics Magazine. SPEEDWAY RACING A-BORE Writer Thinks Crowds Are Drawn to Them in the Hope of Seeing a Smashup. How far wrong was the autist who once remarked that most folk are drawn to automobile speedway races by the hope of seeing someone killed? It is the thrills it generates; the science it calls into play or the pleasure it affords that usually draw crowds to athletic contests. But long-distance speedway racing is the one so-called sport that is almost devoid of sensations; it is a contest where the spirit of contest seems almost totally absent; a spectacle that provokes no real excitement after the first few minutes. It becomes a monotonous thing to watch long before the end has been reached. And yet year after year thousands of persons attend the speedway races. True the major portion of each race is taken first and last time. It comes to what can be seen—and it never comes back. Its place is taken the next year by another "once-boat-no-more" crowd. But there are "repeaters"; some persons do go back year after year to see the speed demons in their races against time—and against death. Automobile road racing has its thrills. Dash races on a speedway create some real shivery feelings along the spinal column. Both are real contests where the man element actually enters; where a race is a race. But those 100 or 200 or 300 mile races around a speedway are nothing but processions; little more than tests of motors and tires; a boresome exhibition to an extreme. And yet there are some people who attend all the big speedway events. What draws them there? Was the man right? Is it that the morbid hope of seeing a frightful shmup upshems them through the gates and into the stands?—Exchange. MAKES EXHAUST GASES WORK By a Whirling Motion Carbon Par ticles removed From the Electrodes Differing from all other spark plugs, this new device relies on the whirling motion of the ex- haust gases to remove carbon par- ticles from the electrodes as soon after the electrodes of the electrodes is shaped like a proeller, l'ya motion of the exhaust gases to remove carbon particles from the electrodes as soon as formed. One of the electrodes like a propeller, lying horizontal. The other electrode is a round rod in the center of the propeller-disk electrode. The gases are exhausted from the spark-plug recess with such force as to whirl them around and between the two electrodes, carrying all carbon particles with them.-Popular Science Monthly. Flushing Does Not Remove Scale. Flushing Does Not Remove Scale. Flushing a radiator and cooling system does not remove the scale and slime left there by the water. Take two pounds of washing soda, dissolve with hot water and pour into radiator through strainer as it dissolves. When this is done run the car three or four hours and then drain cooling system. Do not allow it to cool in radiator. Then fill with fresh water. If the engine has just been overheated, the pump is probably in good condition. This will be shown by heat descending in radiator. If bottom is cool while top is hot the pump has failed. Hissing Valves Of course when you hear hissing that comes from escaping compression you naturally think of valve grinding. But it does not always follow. A small piece of grit may become fastened to a valve head surface and press against it to cause a variation in or a variation stem adjustment by vibration may cause the valve to seat imperfectly, and in either case there will be a hissing sound. Gasoline Economy. Most drivers of automobiles use more gasoline than their cars need. Instead of cussing the Standard Oil pirates, spend half an hour in ascertaining how little gasoline you can use without loss of fuel. You can do this for himself, as the sellers of cars seem not to know, and assuredly do not care. —Chicago Tribune. THE FLOWER BOX Among the Most Satisfactory House Plants for Winter Are Palms and Climbing Vines. Shouting the Beauty of the Meeting of Myanmar HOUSE PLANTS IN WINTER Among the most beautiful and satisfactory house plants for indoor palms. They are strong, hardy, and with the observation of can be kept green and vigorous all winter. More palms are killed by overheating than by cold. They should have a temperature of between 80 and 60 degrees. If it is not convenient to have any room in the house kept as cool at this, stand them in the corner farthest from the radiator, as close as possible to the light, but not in the glaring sun. The worst enemy of the plants is dust. Owing to its smooth leaves, the palm can be readily kept free from this. Its leaves should be washed with a soft sponge and lukewarm water. The watering of the plants is of great interest. The great danger is that the housewife will be too generous in this respect. It is difficult to give a definite rule. Generally speaking, the earth in the pot should be kept moist, but not wet. If the room is kept at high temperature, the plant will require more water than in a cool place. But winter should be a time of rest for the plant. It should not do much growing, and therefore nourishment and water should be given sparingly. It is easy to soak the soil of a plant, but hard to dry it, once thoroughly wet. Neither a palm, or any other plant, should ever be put in a glazed pot. If an ornamental pot is desired, the earthen pot should be set inside. A porous pot absorbs and evaporates the moisture, while in a glazed pot the earth grows sour and will not for even very hardy plants. There should be a hole in the bottom of the pot, over which something similar should be laid. This will keep the earth from filling it up, and the surplus water will trickle out beneath. A few lumps of common charcoal at the bottom of the pot will prevent the roots from rotting, and powdered charcoal mixed with the earth has the same effect, keeping the bottom from turning sour. Having temperature and moisture right, the next enemy of the plant is parasites, such as fungi and insects, many of which are toxic. Some of these are destroyed by washing the leaves with a sponge and soft brush, using clean water only. Those that cannot be destroyed in this way, such as scales, can be quickly dispatched by tobacco juice diluted with water. Ady tobaccoconst or cigar manufacturer will give you all the ribs of tobacco leaves you want. Put a handful of these in a quart of water and boil. Wash the leaves with this, and if you put in a little whale-oil soap, it will be more effective. Of course, there are many insecticides by forstil, but this is a cheap, simple remedy. It is also very other. Being a vegetable poison, no great care is required in handling or using the tobacco juice, whereas parts green and other mineral poisons should be applied with the greatest precaution, as even a slight overdose will scorch the leaves and thereby run the plant. CONSIDER THE PALOX P. L. M. BENNINGTON.* Ever tells us that there is an clue that kind that leads to the enjoyment of speculation and chance. For the gratification of this instinct I do not know any more interesting study than the phlox when one resorts to seeds for the growth of plants. Of course, the staid, regular garden worker will resort to cuttings, because no one can guess, even approximately, what will come from the seed venture. But there is a lot of fun in taking the seeds and watching the results. They may be anything, from a perverse and wayward floral child to the light of the garden when it is left to first principles for its start in life. The phlox Drummondii is the first parent of the family. It was found growing wild in Texas back in 1834, and since that time it has grown in popularity. Essentially a garden flower, it fully justifies the use of the Greek name because it is literally a flame of light. There is no question but that it is far better for having been planted in the fall. At the first hint of spring it will start its growth, and the hard treatment of a rough winter will not serve to deter it in its determination to help brighten the world. The one thing that phlox will not stand is heavy clay soil. Planted along walls and hedges, with borders and in places where, the irregular size of the plants florets cannot be seen there is nothing more called to life to the garden vista than the simple phlox. JAPANESE GARDENS POPULAR By ELIZABETH VAN BENTHUYSEN Another way of saying that one may make a pretty garden with comparatively little to put in it is to call attention to the Japanese idea of a value of space in decorative effect. It is shown in the Japanese garden, which, during this fall, is coming into considerable vogue. Nippon art has long taken the garden as its chief working ground. When travelers, pushing curiously through the door that Commodore Perry kicked open, to the untold benefit of the unwilling natives, first knew the island empire, they called it the Flowery kingdom. On all sides were to be for little garden town dwellers, the sort of Japanese town dwellers. What most gained attention was the fact that these bright spots, giving a colorful effect to the entire communities, were made by smartly placing a very few plants and flowers in artistic vessels, and by relieving the blank spaces with funny figures, carved to represent men or animals. The wooden frog in the center of the little Japanese plot had all of the space it needed, and the few others scattered about in seemingly careless, but actually very careful, arrangement, managed to fit into the plan to leave the impression of a lot of color where really a handful of flowers gave the effect. The same idea was to be found in their houses, where one daring, colorful drawing had an entire wall to itself, forcing the unoccupied space to take on a decorative task that would not have been esteemed possible in other lands. One of the popular figures of the Japanese garden that is being very much used because it so truly represents a real Japanese idea, is the stone lantern, carved in numerous styles, from the roughly chiselled effort of a mere amateur to the most elaborate design of a skilled artisan.

If you press it down the light goes out. Move the hook up and down SLOWLY and the light flashes. This little signal on the switchboard is the same as any other electric lamp, a trifle sluggish in lighting up. You can turn the switch on the electric light over your desk or in your home so fast it will not burn. Try it. When you "jiggle" the telephone hook rapidly the result is the same, the tiny globe will not light up and consequently the operator does not get your signal. MAPIDS, IOWA.

The forces of temperance and moral construction claim that it is essential that all good people stand together for the suppression of the liquor traffic. There may be divergent views on the question of personal liberty, but there can be consistent, logical, constructive, conscious opposition to liquor. The Negroes of this nor any other community cannot afford to be allied with any force which does not tend for the betterment of conditions and people. Individuals have ever the right to do as they choose, but as a race and as communities we need to stand, in word and in deed for progress and reform. There is no middle ground on these propositions. The double-crosser and the jelly fish must clear out. We need to be more aware of moral lepers and filthy hyenas, who, although they will point with pride to the fact that they do not drink, will for a dollar not only put liquor but other drugs into the hands of the people to debauch themselves and innocent but morally unstable girls and men.

The inflammation of the mucus membrane, at first acute, becomes chronic and the child has chronic chronic catarrh, a disease that is seldom cured and that may prove a life's burden.
