Worker Is V Of Work Of N Y. W. C. A. Worker is Very Hearty in Approval of Work of Negro Women. New York, Nov. 6.—In reporting the work of the colored work committee at the final meeting of the War Work Council of the Young Women's Christian association, held recently at national headquarters, 600 Lexington avenue, Miss Eva Bowles was heartily applauded when she declared that the war gave opportunity for colored women to prove her ability for leadership, and that she had her chance and made good, and that the time has passed for white leadership for colored people. Miss Bowles during her report said: "As we report our achievements we find ourselves facing the future that will test all of our powers and conserve the work already launched, and the problem of promotion is our immediate task. All the problems that faced any girl in war times were ours, together with the more serious problems of race relationship and understanding. "We have ministered to our problem from three outstanding ends; 1. The immediate one of the hostess houses in camps which was so acute and the most picturesque of war time activities. Plans For Negro Colony Before Congress Would Found State on Border 100 Miles Square to Have Same Relation to U. S. as Has Canada to England. Washington, D. C., Nov. 6—Plans for establishment of a free and independent Negro state, partly within the boundaries of the United States, have been presented to the senate foreign relations committee and the house committee on foreign affairs by Dr. M. M. Madden, a Negro attorney of Oklahoma City, Okla., and a special subcommittee of the house committee is to be named to investigate Dr. Madden's plans. Delegates representing each of the forty-eight states in the city in support of the project, having been appointed at the general conference of the Free Will Methodist church colored in St. Louis last August. The project as outlined by Dr. Madden provides for the acquisition, by purchase or cession of a tract 500 miles square in Mexico bordering on the Rio Grande river and the Gulf of Mexico. It is stated that negotiations already have been instituted within the Carranza government for acquisition of this tract, with extremely favorable prospects. Provided the negotiations with the Mexican government are successful, Dr. Madden states that the delegates, of which he is the head, has received assurance from the state of Texas that a similar tract will be ceded by Texas contiguous to the Mexican tract. This, Dr. Madden stated, assures the acquisition of a traget, 1,000 miles square, intersected by the Rio Grande bordering on the gulf, to be erected into an independent state, in which Negroes would own the land, make the laws and in all respects be free and independent nation. The proposed state, according to Dr. Madden's out-line of the project, would bear the same relation to the United States as Canada bears to England. HUNDREDS FLEE FROM ALABAMA AFTER LYNCHINGS Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 6. — The weekly reports in the labor market in this city show that hundreds of our people are leaving this town for points north on account of the existing conditions concerning the maintenance of law and order. Following the lynching of three men here within a week's time, a general unrest was created and every attempt to halt the exodus arising therefrom has been without success. Additional to the well-formed idea to desert this city came the information that a committee known as the "Vigilante" has warned three of the most wealthy residents of Montgomery to leave town overnight. The three men left without a second invitation. It is reported last week over fifty men left for Rockford, Ill., where they have been employed by large manufacturing interests. Giving Happiness To give happiness and to do good is our only law, our anchor of salvation, our beacon light and our reason for existence—Henry Frederic Amiel. 2. The colored girl as she entered the industrial field. 3. In communities affected by camps and cantonments where abnormal conditions affected the life of the girl, here were organized club and recreation tents. "Today this committee with the other committees of the national board is facing the great problem of reconstruction. The giant task that lies ahead now that the world has been saved for democracy is to make democracy safe. The colored women leaders stand ready to do their part. The war has given opportunity for the colored woman to prove her ability for leadership; she had the chance and she made good. "With all the strength of having suffered she will be able through the patience born of suffering to lead the women and girls whom only she can lead. The time has passed for white leadership for colored people. As white and colored women we must understand each other; we must think and act, plan together, for upon all of us rests the responsibility of the girlhood of all nations." NEGRO, AGED 50, IOWA STUDENT (Special to the Bystander.) (Special to the Bystander.) Iowa City, Iowa, Oct. 29. After thirty-one years, James L. Dameron, said to have been the first Negro who ever attended the University of Iowa, has returned to the campus to resume his work and take his degree. He is over 50 years old, his daughter, Mrs. Helen Dameron Beshears is to be graduated from the university next June. Mr. Dameron, who has been engaged in educational work in Indiana, virtually continuously since he left the university in 1888, says he is acting upon the advice he has given to thousands of students and completing his education before it is too late. He had hoped to graduate with his daughter next June, but owing to the changes in courses and schedules which have been made since he was a student, it will be necessary for him to spend two more years at Iowa. His wife is in Iowa City with him and is the matron at the Delta Sigma Theta sorority for Negro women. MAJOR N.

DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, NOV. 7, 1919. Bunby Case To Go To Supreme Court East St. Louis Dentist, Now in Prison, Seeks Justice From Highest Tribunal One of the first cases scheduled to be heard before the Supreme Court of Illinois at the November term is that of Dr. Leroy N. Bundy, East St. Louis dentist, convicted last April in the Circuit Court of Monroe county and sentenced to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary at Chester, Ill., for the alleged participation in the East St. Louis riots which occurred in July, 1917. The Chicago Bundy defense fund has reached the sum of $1,023.21. Considerable money has been raised elsewhere, but the chief counsel for Dr. Bundy state that they have been unable to collect money promised during the campaign for funds to gain freedom for the imprisoned dentist. The reproduction of the stenographic reports and the manner in which the details are to be presented to the Supreme Court will entail the expenditure of a large sum of money in the neighborhood of probably $10,000. Organization Formed A permanent organization to carry the case forward has been formed in Chicago, with Oscar DePriest, chairman, Dr. J. A. Harper, vice chairman; Mr. McNeal, secretary; George Holt, treasurer; John R. Auter, corresponding secretary. Attorney F. L.

Latapier had the following to say: "The coincident promulgation of America's law and Cuba's law for a wide open country for the benefit of tourist moves me to invite you to study the value of coming to Cuba and establishing a business. You will find a surprising business development here; also an unsurpassed liberality extended to all elements who work. "Socially, you will not find cause for complaint if you come among us. For our constitution, laws and customs recognize all Cubans as equal and guards with great respect those who come among us for pleasure or for profit. This country has many advantages to offer Americans who come here for business of whatever class. For you, the only ninety miles separates our countries and your coming will benefit you and us, socially and commercially." HALL HEADS BRANCH. Elbert R.

THE SPIRIT OF MISSISSIPPI- HOWEVER THE COLORED PEO- PLE ARE NOT EXCITED Chicago, Nov. 6.—A group of white people styling themselves as the Grana Boulevard District Kenwood and Hyde Park Property association have set out to find the means by which they can eliminate the means by which they can eliminate all colored people of the district cast of Michigan avenue and south of Thirty-fifth street. In these districts there are at least 10,000 colored people and it includes many of the most prominent people of Chicago. In a meeting held recently, there chairman declared publicly that it was their purpose to help the colored people and not to hinder them, and that it would be no good for them to harangue over their "constitutional rights" and that a way would be found to keep the members of the race out of this district. The colored people are not excited over the proposition except in their determination to concentrate their efforts and co-operate in the plans of community uplife. The plan proposed by the association has not met with popular favor and several of the daily newspapers, as well as prominent citizens have denounced the proposition as untimely and dangerous to the best interests of the community. Children's Bedtime. Interesting statistics showing the time at which the children of Beverly, Mass., between the ages of eight and twelve, go to bed, disclose that 13 go to bed between five and six o'clock, 5,240 between eight and nine; 156 between 11 and 12, and 45 between 12 and 1.

One of the southern daily newspapers, alarmed over the ‘‘insid- ‘uous propaganda now being carried on in the colored newspapers’? very se- riovsly inquires: ‘‘Why should this ef The white newspapers have never organized against the colored people?”” That is really an amazing statement. Every acwspaper editor of our group im the country, knows that the <Asso- giated Press, the leading news distribu- fing service of the country, has car- ried on a policy of discrimination in tavor of the whites and against the lacks, and is doing it daily now. The Associated Negro Press is in receipt of correspondence from editors in va- tious sections of the country decrying the way in which the Associated Press writes its stories of happenings where colored people are effected. It is well Known that the facts concerning the 1919 riots in various sections have been peculiarly dealt with. Propaganda against us? Shades of Ben Tilman and Carmack, of the in- glorious deeds and words of Verdaman and Blease, of Tom Dixon’s ‘‘Leopard Spots’? and the ‘‘Birth of a Nation,’? of Williams in the Senate and Brynes in the house, today, what do you call all that infamous output of destructive and prejudiced doctrine? ‘The fact of the matter is, our group has been ‘‘asleep at the switch.’? Peace- loving, patient and long suffering, we have tolerated more infamy than any other group of people in the world. But our backs are to the wall now, and we ‘ae fighting for existence. There are some who wish to take the whole 15, 000,000 of us, boots, capes and hats, and drop us in the middle of the ocean. Is it expected that we should submit without protest?

CONTRIBUTORY DEPARTMENT GOOD HOUSING HINTS Mrs, Jessye E. McClain, Housekeeper. For many years the sentiment origi- nating in Iowa, and heralded afar with, prideful satisfaction, has been of all that is fair and good, Iowa affords the best. This is true in the main, but with some faulty reservations which are slowly but surely being brought to light for remedy and with blessings in them un- folding whieh wisely and properly di- reeted will give added and lasting sta- bility to this proud boost. Deservedly proud of her agricultural resourees of her mining and manufac- turing industries, of her blooded stock, good roads, philanthropists, imposing edifices of worship, splendid system of giving aid to her unfortunates through many charitable organizations, ete., but what of the habitation of that mass of her citizenship whose daily efforts in some form, go toward the making, and the developing to a high standard of ‘beauty worth and efficiency the, great array of handiwork. ‘The future citizens of tomorrow are living ia an atmosphere whose every inhabitation is filled with the poisonous _germs of false ideas of life irresolution, deceit, leathsome disease, immortality, broken manhood: and womanhood, Axe they being given a proper chance? ‘A family should be allowed to en- ‘A family should be allowed Joy the froits of their toil under whole- some conditions, thus allowing what- ever is good, whatever is noble, what- ever is pure, fine and strong within to be given a fair opportunity for develop- ‘ment.

Du Bois, our foremost militant leader, so when the promoters of the Du Bois Parent-Teach- ers association, followed the advice of the N, A. A. C.

If more people would read and study: their ‘*Crisis,’’ there would be Jess excitement over ‘‘segregating ourselves’? as one member remarked at the Du Bois meeting held Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 22, at Franklin school. Segregation is impolite it is impos- sible. You cannot build up a Negro Amer- iea or a Negro world with no close re- lations to the white world. if there are relations between races they must be based on the knowledge and sympathy that come alone from the long and intimate human contact of individuals, On ‘the other hand, if the Negro is to develop his own power and gifts; .f.he is not only to fight prejudices and oppression suecessfully, but also to unite for ideals higher than the world has realized in art and in dustry and social life, then he must unite and work with Negroes and build a new and great Negro ethos. “‘However, here are contradictory facts,’? says Doctor Du Boig in an- other issue, ‘‘uhless we had fought se- gregation with determination, our whole race would have been pushed into an jll-lighted, unpaved, unsevered ghetto. Unless we had built great church organizations and managed our own southern schools, we should be shepherdless sheep. Unless we had welcomed the segregation of Ft. Des Moines, we would have had no officers in the national army. Unless we had beaten open the doors of the northern universities, we would have had no men fit to be officers.’? So the situation calls for thought and forbeatanee. Not every builder of “<racial co-operation’? and solidarity is a ‘Jim Crow’? advocate a hater of white folk. Not every colored American who fights prejudice and segregation i: ashamed of his race.’” So the Du Bois P. T. W. will meet Wednesday, Nov. 5 at the Emerson school, and it is hoped all interested mothers and friends will be present, and particularly the mothers in the dis trict. Our lesson for the meeting wil be ‘‘Boys and their (Problems,’?

Such injuries are liable to occur in any family and everyone should be prepared for them. Chamberlain's Salve applied on a soft cloth will relieve the pain almost instantly, and unless the injury is a very severe one, will cause the parts to heal without leaving a scar. PETE HAD OBEYED ORDERS Literal-Minded Soldier Came Near Getting His Commanding Officer Into a Bad Mess. There is a certain young officer who, according to his own story, is thanking his stars that General Pershing had a sense of humor. "Some of my men were Polish, and better soldiers never lived, but I guess in Poland life has been one long, sad story," said the officer. "Anyway, I never ran across a bunch who took things so literally. One night the Germans sent out a three-inch shell that landed square in the trench. In the morning I told one of my men, Pete, we called him, to take it away. "Where shall I take it?" he asked. "Oh, anywhere," I answered peevishly, "put it to bed in Pershing's tent." "A little later a brother officer came along and said: 'The old man wants you, and there's something doing.' "I couldn't imagine what was up until I stood before the chief. He eyed me sternly and then pointed to his bunk, and would you believe it, there was that blamed shell. Pete sure had obeyed orders. Well, I thought I was in for it, but Pershing suddenly began to smile. He said: 'I just want to caution you not to order Pete to capture Berlin until the rest of us are ready to go with him. He might go and do it, you know.'"—Rehoboth Sunday Herald. Organization of Roman Army. The Roman army was divided into legions, the number of which varied. Each was under six tribuni or "chief captains." who commanded by turns. The legion was subdivided into ten cohorts, the cohort into three maniples, and the maniple into two centuries. The century originally contained 106 men, as the two maniples, but also quickly from the tenth to the seventh century. LODGES. W. H. MADAM C. J. WALKER President of the Madam C. J.

In Rome the cat gave the first evidence of predatory instincts and his vampire as a mice destroyer. Agathicus, whose pet partridge had been killed and eaten by a cat, denounces him as one of the devouring dogs of Actaeon. Pliny and Palladius praise him for his destruction of mice and rats, while Caesar's soldiers carried the faces of cats, emblazoned on their banners. "My young friends," said a member of the board of trustees, who was addressing the school, "let me urge upon you the necessity of not only reading good books, but also of owning them, so that you may have access to them at all times. Why, when I was a young man I used frequently to work all night to earn money to buy books and then got up before daylight and used them." THE BYSTANDER HAPPY NATIVES OF SARAWAK Under Wise Government, People Live Easy Lives in Their Gloriously Fertile Country. The tribe of Kayans, inhabiting the head waters of the Baram and Rejang rivers of Sarawak, have lived for unknown generations almost isolated in the interior of the island of Borneo. There are many reasons for believing them to be originally of Caucasian origin. Many of them have very light skin, and they probably reached Borneo by way of the Malay peninsula from lower Burma. Rigid discipline is characteristic of the domestic menage, resulting in good manners and recognition of authority. For a good many years Sarawak was under the independent government of a white rajah, Sir Charles Brooke, who controlled his mingled subjects with unusual wisdom and sympathy. Among other far-sighted edicts he instituted stringent game laws, so that the island is one of the best protected parts of the world in this respect. Birds, beasts and butterflies are protected, not more than two specimens of any one species being allowed to the collector. In this way the very beautiful and rare trees and insects of the country are being maintained for the enjoyment of future generations. Another wise move of the rajah was to continue the native costume—what there is of it—in place of introducing the unsuitable, ugly and artificial modern clothing of Europeans. This, as Stevenson points out, has usually exactly the opposite effect from that intended by well-meaning missionaries, and the happy natives of Sarawak are very well off as they are. GOOD WORK WITH CAMERA Explorers in Northwestern Canada Have Photographic Studies of Wilderness Wild Life. After a three years' hunt with the camera in the almost unknown Laird river district in northwestern Canada, H. A. Stewart and John Sonnickson have come back to civilization by way of Peace river, Alberta, bringing several thousand photographic studies of the manners and customs of the wild life of those remote woods and streams. The explorers, for they well deserve the name, worked into the wilderness by way of Hudson's Hope and the forks of the Findlay and Parsnip rivers as far as Fort Grahame. Their negatives illustrate the habits of the ptarmigan, moose, beaver, Canadian wild geese and other animals and birds that have seldom been observed with anything like thoroughness by means of the camera. The travelers had devices of various sorts whereby their subjects were enticed to spots upon which the hidden lenses were focused; and upon reaching these spots an ambushed camera man "snapped" them by twitching, a long cord attached to the lens shutter. A single negative of some specially shy animal was often the only fruit of many-hours of patient waiting. Sometimes for days the explorers would watch a single spot through their field glasses awaiting the favorable moment to "shoot." But it was all worth it. Gleaning the Stumps. The rapid decrease in the number of tall stumps which have been so familiar to the traveler through the coast hills of Oregon, is regarded as an indication of their approaching extinction. Hitherto some 20 feet of each stump has been left standing, silent relics of former monarchs of the forest, too thick for most saws to compass and too full of pitch to suit the sawmills. But now the need for timber is greater and men no longer climb high up on boards thrust into notches in the trunk to suit the saw and the sawmill. They have learned thrift and they cut low down lest good lumber be uselessly wasted. Only as a record of past wastefulness are the tall stumps with their deep notches still visible. What the occidental ideals of universal opportunities of education are to mean to women of the Orient takes on a large significance with the establishment in the Philippines of a university for girls only. This university is to be part of an educational group called Centro Escolar de Senoritas, where until now the instruction to girls has been only in the primary, secondary and intermediate grades. That this Fillipino Vassar will develop traditions characteristic of girls' colleges in the United States cannot be doubted by anyone who has observed how wholeheartedly they shyly, girl students from the Orient have entered into the undergraduate studies, festivities and pastimes at American colleges. "How many parts do you know well enough to play tonight if need be?" somebody asked Coquelin. He took a sheet of paper and wrote down the names of 53 plays of his repertoire. His friends laughed. "You are boasting surely, mon ami!" said the Viscomte de Lovenjoul. "You have every one of these plays in your library," said Coquelin quietly. "Get them all out and put them on the table." The viscomte did so. "Now," said Coquelin, "let anybody select a cue from any one of these plays at hap-hazard and give it to me." They tried him with 16 plays out of the 53 and he never missed a single cue or made one mistake.—Fortnightly Review. A Filipino Vassar. Coguelin's Memory TH L&A The Art club met with Mrs. J. L. Nash Thursday evening and in spite of the bad weather, a good number was out and a nice time reported. Mrs. John Allen was quite burned by coal oil a few days ago, is much improved at this writing, Mr. James Saunders has moved from the west part of town to South Twentieth street. Sister Anna Oliner is still on the sick list. Mr. and Mrs. McEllery (white) entertained quite a number of colored friends on Wednesday evening at their home on East-Bank street in honor of their daughter, Belle, who was married to Mr. Pearl Edwards on Sunday afternoon. A three-course luncheon was served. Mrs. Edwards was bookkeeper in one of the stores and has many friends both white and colored. Mr. Edwards is employed at one of the local lumber yards. He recently returned from overseas where he was in service for several months. He too has a friends. Best wishes for this happy couple. They rectived many nice and useful presents. They will make their home in this city. The social given Saturday evening at the home of Mrs. J. L. Nash for the benefit of the C. T. club, was well attended and success was reported. The Rev. Dr. William Alford and wife arrived in the city Tuesday afternoon to take up their work as pastor of the two Baptist churches. We invite everybody to our services. They will make their home on East Wilson street. They are stopping with Deacon and Sister Anna Oliner while getting their home in readiness. Mrs. Clara Jones, Mrs. William Cobbs, and Mrs. J. Hicks were calling on friends Sunday evening. The Sunday school social was well attended Friday night at the home of the superintendent. Little Carl Jeter won the prize, he being the best masked. The Mission circle met in its regular business meeting Tuesday evening at the church. Mr. James J. Crittenden and Mr. Jessie A. Gooding attended a Halloween party at Mystic Friday evening. Mr. Elwood Brown of Mystic was in the city Tuesday. He reported his father, Mr. E. F. Brown on the sick list. Many a miner is seen now adays on our streets. We hope for a settlement of some kind soon. Lots of families have not enough coal to hardly make a fire. We hope and pray that no one will suffer from the effect of this big strike. Most laxatives and cathartics afford only temporary relief and should be used only for that purpose. When you want permanent relief take Chamberlain's Tablets and be careful to observe the directions with each package. These tablets not only move the bowels, but improve the appetite and strengthen the digestion. Making play of work is often a good idea when getting children to help. Thus, when seeking the aid of a youngster to pick up the pins from the floor, let him or her use a horse-shoe magnet for the purpose. You can set such a magnet for ten cents.

Mrs. Susan Stewart and her corps of helpers were kept busy sewing. At a late hour all were unmasked and good nights were said. Mrs. Lawrence Jones representing the country life school, Braxton, Miss., arrived Thursday from Grinnell. While in the city Mrs. Jones was a guest in the E. E. Jones home. Thus two Mrs. Jones' are friends from childhood, both were reared in Burlington, Iowa. Mrs. Jones worked two days in the interests of her school and found Oskalosa people very courteous and liberal. The business people speak very complimentary of the little lady and were only too glad to respond to her appeal for aid. Saturday, Rev. and Mrs. D. W. Brown entertained Mrs. J. at dinner, which was much enjoyed. Sunday afternoon Mrs. E. E. Jones invited a number of lady friends in. Mrs. L Jones spoke of her school work. Mrs. George Jones gave an instrumental solo; also Mrs. Bernice Brumble and Miss Edna Jones. The hours fled only too fast. Light refreshments were served and greatly enjoyed. Monday Mrs. Jones was accompanied to Penn college by Jones and Moore, where she spoke in the assembly at the chapel hour. This was indeed a rare treat as many of the students had not heard of the Piney Woods country life school. She was loudly applauded and President McGreer assured her she would hear from Penn college at a later date. Next we went to Holiness university, but the time was limited, we simply rode out and back. Mrs. Jones left Monday for Ottumwa, carrying with her appreciation and the hospitality, love and faith shown her during her short stay here. She is giving to the world the best she has. The reward will follow. Mrs. Lucy Allen ran a splinter in her finger Saturday and has caused her much paid. Miss Florence Allen is reported as being in Indiana. Mrs. Vernie Fuller is expected to arrive this week from Chicago and will be a guest in the Frank Allen home on West B avenue. Nothing New Under Sun.
