The Ninth Cavalry U. S. A., is in command of Lieut. Col. Benjamin D. Davis, the highest ranking Negro in active service, and Col. Davis is also commandant at Camp Stottenberg, the most important military post in the Jih pine Islands. At the close of the war, the Ninth cavalry was commanded by a white ma- r of the regiment, temporarily raised the rank of colonel, but orders from a War Department returned him to his regular rank, and this left Lieut. Col. Davis as the highest ranking officer of the regiment. Troops stationed at Camp Stottenberg imprise in addition to the Ninth Cav- ry, several battalions of Filipine scouts officered by white men. Although e former commanding officer of the ninth is now serving as a major under e colored lieutenant colonel, there is friction or dissatisfaction reported.

Owing to a realization for the necessity of Y. W. C. A. among colored girls and women. The Y. W. C. A. of Des Moines, asked the War Work Council to finance the new work. In response a worker was sent to look the field over, and decided that the time was ripe to start work in Des Moines. Preliminary work was begun July 1 with Mrs. H. H. Cogshall, as chairman, associated with her Mrs. Fred Moore, of the central Y. W. C. A. and six colored women who head up the following committees: Mrs. Gertrude Rush, girls work; Mrs. S. Joe Brown, membership; Mrs. John L. Thompson, religious work; Mrs. J. B. Morris, house and equipment; Mrs. H. R. Graves, social work, and Mrs. George W. Mason, educational work. Sept. 1 Miss Virginia Robinson, who had served as hostess at the hostess house for colored troops at Camp Dodge was appointed as the executive secretary for the work among colored girls and wpmen. The War Work Council agreed to finance the work until Jan. 1, 1920, at which time it was to become a branch of the central Y. W. C. A. of Des Moines. In August a house was found at 782 Tenth street and remodeling begun, and in December the work was housed just in time to give a Christmas party for forty little girls who gathered around a beautiful "Christmas tree," sang their Christmas songs and played each received a stockingful of goodies. Many of the shed said that it was the "bestest tide they ever had." Our little gray house with its blue triangle displayed, afforded a resting place for the colored delegates attending the S. V. M. convention. Work has been organized among the High school, grade school girls, and weekly meetings are held at the Tenth street cented. The program used is that provided by the national board of the Y. W. C. A. which seeks to develop along fourfold lines, health, spirit, knowledge and service. This is known as the "Girls Reserve" program, and can be used with the high school, grade school, and the young employed girls, any girl from 10 to 18 years of age. We have new enrolled 108 girls in the "Girls Reserves." We are also extending the work to the Industrial Girls. Our aim is to link our Colored girls in all parts of the city with our Y. W. C. A. Activities. During the month of January our little Gray House was used by 406 people. name and address N, 641 Nortewest St. is, Indiana. DES MOINES, IOWA, FRIDAY, FEB. 20, 1920.

Meredith family for whom she has catered the past eighteen years. Mrs. Humbard has cooked for many celebrities. Some of the big occasions on which Mrs. Humburd was the goddess of the kitchen are the following: She catered at a dinner for Admiral Grayson and President Wilson on their recent visit to Des Moines at the Meredith home, served the hundreds of guests who attended the big Meredith-Bohen wedding at Hotel Fort Des Moines when Mildred Meredith became the bride of Frederick O. Bohen, served a big dinner for 900 guests at the Methodist church when W. J. Bryan was the guest of honor. She has done all of Gov. W. L. Harding's catering and also served as cateress at functions during the terms of former Governor Larrabee an former Governor Jackson. She served at many big functions for the late Mrs. A. B. Cummins, wife of Senator Cummins. She has served several meals to the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt when he was a guest at the Henry C. Wallace home. Mrs. Humburd is the second cateress to leave Des Moines for the capital. Mrs. I. E. Williamson, famous cook, left when Secretary Shaw went to Washington, and still remains. Mrs. Humburd was accompanied by Miss Margaret Wilson, who has for many years been the Merediths' housekeeper.

CITY TO BE SOLD. Fred D. McCracken of St. Paul, Minn., a nephew of Rev. N. J. McCracken of Chicago, is the city manger of Truxton, appointed by the governor. This little town enjoys the unique distinction of being the only city in the world which is likely to be raffled off. It is to be appraised by a committee of five special representatives two, of the government and three of the town. It is a modern, up to date little burg and has fared well under the management of Mr. McCracken. SPANISH FLU SHUNS RACE; DELIGHTED Reports of the 'flu' ravish throughout the country show, it is said, that the number of colored people who have contracted or died from this recent scourge, is but negligible, as compared with the number of whites who have faled victims of the disease. While it has been popularly believed that the colored race is more susceptible to pulmonary diseases, it is quite apparent that the 'flu' has not been near as destructive among colored as among white.

For over fifty years, the Young Women's Christian association has concerned itself with the life of women and girls, and has devoted its entire time to assisting women and girls in the various phases of their development. But at no time in its history, not even during the years of the war, has it been confronted with such a stupendous task as is involved in look-ink after the welfare of women and girls in this post-war period. The Young Women's Christian association cannot cope with such a task without adequate leadership. Such leadership must be recruited from the ranks of the Christian young womanhood of the country, and these leaders must be women of insight who can visualize the opportunities for Christian service which leadership in the Young Women's Christian association offers;—and stand ready to dedicate their lives to such service if need be. This is especially true of its work with the colored race and there is vital need for colored women and girls who have the interests of their people at heart to train themselves to become association leaders. Because the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. are parts of world organizations they cannot join with the purely local charities in any single organized drize for funds. It is necessary for them to sustain themselves in an independent way. They therefore come before the people on their own account. The Y. W. C. A. is soon to open a campaign to secure money enough not merely for maintenance, but to make some needed improvements on their building. eDs Moines should brudge nothing that is needed to make the Y. W. C. A. and other like agencies of social up lift effective. Special vesper services will be held at the center Sunday afternoon under the direction of Miss Ethel Bowmer. A special invitation is extended to the young employed girls and their friends to attend. Saturday afternoon the "Wideawake" girls are entertaining their mothers at a Martha Washington tea at the center. The Sunset girls will hold a public installation ceremony Tuesday evening. Friends are invited. We wish to ask all women who are interested in the Y. W. C. A. are urged to connect themselves with the same as most of us need what the association can give us and we are sure that the association needs you. Girls from 10 to 18 years are taken in as members for 50 cents and those over 18 years may before members by paying $1 for one year. Let us make our Y. W. C. A. center a live center. Every Thursday afternoon prayer services are still being held and every Monday evening at 7:45 a very interesting bible class. It is urged that more of our young women attend these services especially Sunday school teachers, as the study will greatly benefit all. The educational committee held their regular monthly meeting at the center Wednesday night. Plans were made for several entertainments in the near future. The committee is to have charge of the vesper services on Sunday, Feb. 29.

Mr, Tyler disagreed with his cabinet on the measure of recharter ing the bgnk of the United States, His actions brought about a final rupture be- tween the president and the Whigs, which resulted in the resignation of the entire cabinet except Daniel Webster, sceretary of state, who remained in of- fice long pnough to straighten some af. fairs of state and then followed the ex: ample of his former colleagues, ‘President andrew Johnson took the oath of office the day following the death of President Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Johnson retained Mr. Lincoln’s cab- inet, A disagreement arose between Mr. Jobnson and; congress over the question of reorganizing the southern states, The controversy grew and fin- ally found its way into the eabinet. Edwin M. Staunton, secretary of war, became Mr. Johnson’s chief opponent. Mr, Johnson dismissed Mr. Staunton, For this act Mr. Johnson wajs sim? peached but was acquitted by the nar- Tow margin of one vote of the two- thirds required for conviction. Unlike the former presidents, Mr, Wilson’s trouble has been with the cabinet of his own selection, A con- troversy arose between Mr. Wilson and Mr. Bryan over affairs of state, where upon Mr. Bryan voluntarily tendered his resignation as secretary of state. Mr. Bryan was severely criticised for Jeaving the old ‘Ship of State’? while it was facing what was destined to be the greatest storm of its voyage. But had Mr, Bryan remained on board there is no doubt but that Mr. Wil- son would not have hesitated to have tossed him to the whales, Mr, Wilson’s dismissal of Robert Lansing, seeretary of state, did not meet the approvai of the entire public. There is no doubt that Mr. Lansing was acting in good faith when he called the president’s cabinet into in formal sessions, The publie was clam oring for executive guidance durin; Mr. Wilson's illness and the informa cabinet meeting had a quieting effec upon the restless citizens. The ex change of letters between Mr. Wilsot and Mr, Lansing shows that these tw: gentlemen did not make good be mates during their stay in France, an Mr. Wilson did not hesitate to cal Mr. Lansing’s attention to their cove pullings during those chilly night abroad.
