Robb, sheriff-elect, the only democrat to be elected in Polk county at the November election has already proven to the people of Polk county that he aims to fill his office with competent assistance regardless of party lines.

J., Nov. 18—"The white man will do everything he thinks he can get away with to keep the Negro a laborer," declared Roger N. Baldwin, a white man, in a address before the opening session of the First Presbyterian church. "This is not a white man's world, and it is up to the black race to convert the white man to a world that knows no discrimination," he continued. "The equality of the races is the problem ahead—it looks far off, but it is bound to come. Organization is the only way for the Negro to win a square deal. And that organization is under way." Baldwin is a member of the American Liberty unions and an ardent worker for the emancipation of the Negro from the "yoke of race discrimination." --- VOL. XXVI. NO. 22. J. W.

Fairburn, Ga.—The people of Campbell county have put up on Fairburn's main street a monument to the soldiers of this county who suffered wounds or death in the great war. Two sides of the monument carry the names of white soldiers who were killed in which they suffered or died. Two sides are similarly inscribed with the names of colored soldiers who died or were wounded. On top of the shaft is a globe of granite inscribed with the words "Their all for Democracy and the Freedom of Man." The freedom finds the monument' a tribute, not only to the soldiers, but to the justice and patriotism of Campbell county citizens.

Washington, D. C., Nov. 20.—A congressional investigation is planned into the charges of Immigration Commissioner Wallis that there is a worldwide plot to bring 10,000,000 aliens to the United States. It will probably be conducted by the house immigration and naturalization committee which has just returned from studying conditions at Ellis island. Complete information will be sought, it was learned, through the records of the state and commerce departments as to the operations of agents abroad to gather up millions of Europeans to immigrate. The immigration committee is considering legislation at an early date to stop the rush of aliens for a period of two years or more. Representative Welty, Ohio, democratic member of the committee, has asked Secretary of State Colby to take steps to check immigration. Mr. Welty wrote in part: "I am reliably informed that the steamship companies have requests for transportation of immigrants from Europe, which would tax the capacity of all ships touching American ports for ten years. In view of the sitting of a large body of lawmakers awaiting readjustment, the lack of markets for farm products and the shortage of coal, would it not be advisable to shut down immigration this winter so as to avoid additional suffering." Harding Aids Negro Bureau Commends Work of Organization Designed To Help Colored People Washington, Nov. 15.—In a letter made public today, President-elect Harding indoles the drive for funds of the White Cross Free Labor Bureau of America, an organization designed to obtain employment, decrease idleness and assist in other ways the Negro population of this country: Senator Harding says in the letter: "I take this opportunity of commending to the attention of the American people the good work being done by the White Cross Free Labor Bureau of America, of which Dr. Simon P. W. Drew, pastor of the National Baptist Institutional 'Cosmopolitan' church of Washington is president. "The organization is doing the most commendable work among the 15,000,-000 colored people of the United States in uplift work for humanity, securing positions of all kinds for employees and furnishing reliable colored help free of charge to employers. This organization is serving humanity and I feel that any Dr. Drew's help to his co-workers will be most heartily apreciated and repaid by honest, concientious efforts. OVERCOMES OBSTACLES According to the Chicago Broad Ax of Saturday, Nov. 13, some evil Christian spirit or mysterious person broke into the parsonage of Bethel A. M. E. church, located 2155 Calumet avenue which Dr. L. Birt, former pastor of St. Paul's A. M. E. church, this city, and stole all of the dishes and lace curtains. The disappearance of the articles occurred shortly after the house had been vacated by the Rev. W. D. Cook, former pastor, and his family. It would seem, judging from what has occurred recently as if an effort was being made to destroy Bethel, the eagle of the former Des Moines church. Old Bethel church continues to move onward. Already a movement has been launched to secure a larger and more modern church for its ever increasing membership. On Sunday, Oct. 31, Bishop Fountain assisted the pastor and fifty new members were enrolled. On the following Sunday Bishop H. B. Parks delivered the sermons and the result was the names of forty pastors added to the roll. The collection is very heavy at all services and those who know Dr. Birt are confident that he will overcome all obstacles that confront him. THE NEW HOME OF PORO COLLEGE, ST. LOUIS, MO. 1,221 Died and 2,853 Suffered Disability From Poison In The War Baldwin declared that every move made by the Negro to organize in his own defense is branded by the whites as a bolshevik or "Red" movement. This, he asserted, is for the purpose of preventing the advancement of the race to face the Negro in their place. "He also stated that the Negro always has received a "dirty deal in industry" and cited several alleged instances of discrimination.

This is the first time in Pollard's football career that he had to leave a game because of injuries.

"Bob" Anderson a notorious Negro cabaret character was shot and killed by Cloe Weir a white denizen of Chicago's underworld. Jealousy was the cause for the shooting. It appears that Anderson was seeking to transfer his affections to another white woman named Ruby Weir. Weir objected to this procedure and the shooting followed during a visit of Anderson to her apartments. Anderson was one of the dandy members of the city's underworld life and was a prime favorite with the white women who frequented the "black and tan resorts on the south side." Anderson resorted to Chicago from St. Louis, Mo., where his parents and relatives are said to live. Some women do not realize that a walking shoe wears better and appears well for a longer time if it is frequently polished. A new street shoe ought not to be worn much until it is polished once, for without the polish it is much more liable to be scratched than with a good polish. Specially is this true of the pie crust. Ready-Made Pie Crust! Someone has invented a ready-made pie crust that will keep a year. By the evidences that have been encountered it might be judged that many ambitious cooks have been experimenting for a long time with this object in view.

A Jamaican Negro, Marres Harvey, is trying to get his raise on his side of the water to return to Africa, overthrow the governments of the whites and establish a black empire. He indeed has a vivid imagination, and seems to overlook the important matter of offering any real inducements. The people of the world are so mixed up that to usermanble them would be a job fit for Hercules and the league of nations combined, C. H. Anderson, a government official in New York who is a Negro, hits the nail on the head when he comments: "As to our migration to Africa, let me say that when all the English in this country voluntarily return to the banks of the Thames and all the Irish go back to the shores of the Shannon; when the Germans return to the Rhine and the French to the Rhone; when the Italians seek the Tiber, the Russians the Neva and Volga, and all the Jews once more take their stand on Jordan's stormy banks, then, and not till then, will we consider a return to the fever-stricken banks of the dreamy Niger. Even then, like the prophet of old, we will probably have to be translated in a fiery chariot." Nothing New Under Sun.

A Appeal To the Republicans of the Country and all those who aided them: The Republican success in the 1920 election has been commensurate with the quality of our candidates and the righteousness of our cause. This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Republicans everywhere and of hundreds of thousands of well-wishers of good government regardless of past party affiliations. To all of these we now appeal, because it is the mutual responsibility of us all who will share alike in the consequent benefit of good government. The plan of limiting campaign contributions to $1,000, adopted by your national organization, has left your party unmortgaged. It has been a most advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an interest on the part of thousands who never before have been concerned with politics. Some weeks before election it was apparent that the expenses provided for in our budget, with the strictest economy, would exceed the contributions, but we were unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort essential to complete success or to change the method of raising money. We were then sure and we are now sure that every Republican desires that the expenses of the campaign be distributed in this manner. Your presidential campaign this year cost no more than that of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice as far as it does today. Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from 750 contributors, while this year the approximately $2,000,000 contributed to date for the presidential election has come from 50,000 civers. The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. It Long, straight, silky hair can be yours if you want it.

We ask now for that additional help from all which is merited both by the successful conclusion of the effort and by the consequent contribution to the welfare of all of our people and the glory of the nation. Let us now have help from every American who is grateful for the victory and all that it means to the country. It might well be in the nature of a thanksgiving offering for the return to a certainly safe, sane, constitutional progressive government. Let us by general and generous giving put the seal of approval upon the policy of putting a national administration in power free from any possible embarrassment of special obligation to any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contribution, whether large or small, and whether or not we have heretofore given, commensurate with our means and our appreciation, always within the maximum limit heretofore fixed. Let us get our names on the cornerstone of a sturdier political structure, upon the roll of those who have helped make possible a campaign of which, in methods and result, we may as Republicans and patriots be justly proud. Most earnestly we urge that this aid be given quickly, that your committee may be enabled to discharge the party's obligations and turn to further constructive work in behalf of party and country.

BLESSINGS OF THE NATION Summed Up, They Are Simply the Aggregate Blessings of the Individual Citizen. With the coming of Thanksgiving week, the week that includes the day set apart by the proclamation of the President of the United States for expression by the people of their devout thankfulness to the Almighty for the blessings of the year, comes a spirit of meditation. It is not necessary to turn to the world at large for a text for the blessings of the year, other than as this general situation is reflected in the measure of America's content. The blessings of a nation are the aggregate blessings of the individuals of the nation. The pursuit of happiness is never successful as an individual pursuit, however, and thus the blessings of the individual are largely those that are the blessings of the nation likewise. So the weave of the threads of the many individuals contribute to the general welfare and the loom unceasing works. And into the fabric is spun the golden threads of idealism, the purple threads of nobility, the white threads of purity, the blue threads of truth; the crimson threads of devotion and the golden threads of religion.

LESSON FOR NOVEMBER 28 HOW JESUS THE KING WAS RE- CEIVED. LESSON TEXT—Matt, 11 and 12. GOLDEN TEXT—Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Matt, 11:28. ADDITIONAL MATERIAL—Luke 7:28; 10:13-15, 21, 22, 11:14-28, 29, 32. PRIMARY TOPIC—The Kind Deeds of Jesus. JUNIOR TOPIC—Friends and Enemies of Jesus. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Choosing Jesus as Our Teacher. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—The Response of Men to the Ministry of Jesus. The teacher should keep in mind the progress of thought 'in Matthew and present these lessons accordingly. In chapters 5 to 7 we have the laws of the kingdom; chapters 8 and 9, the mighty works to demonstrate the King's ability to administer the affairs of the kingdom; chapter 10, the preparation of the kingdom through the sending forth of the twelve; chapters 11 and 12, how the kingdom was received. 1. Four Classes of Heareers (ch. 11). 1. Perplexed hearers like John the Baptist (11:2:11). John believed that Jesus was the Christ (v. 2), but was somewhat perplexed as to the manner of the establishment of the kingdom. In the Old Testament predictions there were two lines in the Messianic prophecies; the one set forth Christ as the suffering one, as in Isaiah 53, and the other, as the invincible Conqueror, as in Isaiah 63. Indeed, in Isaiah 60:1, 2 we have the two advents in one view (see Matt. 3:10:12). He said that the ax is laid unto the root of the trees and that there was to be a separation of the chaff from the wheat and a burning of the chaff, but now the King was occupied merely with the opening of the eyes of the blind, etc. John saw Christ as the one who would remove the sins of the people by the shedding of his blood (John 1:29), but he failed to see the interval between the time of his sufferings and the time of his triumph. Since this interval between the first and second comings—the nature of the age in which we live—was not known until Christ revealed it in the parables of the thirteenth chapter, we do not wonder at John's perplexity. John's faith was not falling him, neither did he send this deputation to Jesus for the sake of his disciples. He was a true prophet and a faithful man, but he was perplexed. 2. Violent hearers (11:12-19). These were willing to receive the kingdom according to their own way, but were unwilling to conform to its laws. Their ears were closed to everything but their own carnality. They would not repent when called upon to repent by John, nor rejoice when called upon by Christ to rejoice (vv. 17-19). 3. The stout-hearted unbelievers (11:20-24). In Chorazin, Bethsalae, and Capernaum, Christ had done most of his mighty works, but the people deliberately set their hearts against him and his message. It was not for lack of knowledge and opportunity that they were unsaved, but for their purposeful rejection of Christ. Tyre and Sidon, Sodom and Gomorrah were filled with immoral profligates and idolaters, but they will be more tolerably dealt with in the day of judgment than those who wilfully reject Christ. 4. Hearers who are babes in spirit (11:25-30). There were some among those who heard Jesus with childlike faith, who believed that Christ was the Messiah, and they opened their hearts to receive him. Christ invites those who have the babe-like spirit to come to him, and to all who come to him and receive him he gives rest. II. The Antagonism of the Kingdom. (ch. 12). In chapter 11 we saw the shameful indifference of the Jews to their King. In this chapter we see positive and bitter antagonism manifesting itself against him. They are not only without a heart for him, but do their best to destroy him. The immediate occasion of their wicked determination was Christ's relation to the Sabbath. Because the hungry disciples plucked corn and Jesus healed the withered hand on the Sabbath day, they sought to destroy him. They accused him of being in league with the Devil. Jesus with unanswerable logic showed them that they had blasphemed against the Holy Ghost, and were therefore guilty of an unpardonable sin. They did not deny the miracle but sought to account for it without owning him as the Messiah. What Tenderness is. Tenderness is the extreme susceptibility of the softer emotions and passions. It implies the refinement of pity, the sensitive delicacy of love, the culture of sympathy, and the most complete embodiment of a fervent, deep-seated, and impulsive gentleness. -A. M. A. W.

Circulation and Advertising CHAS. M. SHED. Secretary and Treasurer A HUMAN MONUMENT. Tennessee, which ratified the Suffrage Amendment into a Federal Law, has started something which will surely muster materialize into something big and worth while if the plans of the women in Nashville go through. It is that every woman who cast a ballot in the November election shall contribute one cent toward a monument to be erected in honor of Susan B. Anthony, author of the Federal Suffrage Amendment and pioneer leader in the movement for votes. It was her quiet persistence and womanly demeanor, handed down to the women in her party who won the victory and all must acknowledge that the victory would well build a citizen from her. If every woman were to give one cent to the woman it would be as a grain of sand and would not be missed from the pocket of the humiliest, but the aggregation of cents would be a wonderful help toward the memorial which would be collossal and of use to womankind through all the years to come. Why should it not be home for homeless children, where they would be mothered until they were old enough to care for themselves after leaving the home where they had learned something to make them self-supporting to go with their education, which also was gained for themselves by building it of human souls, saved from want, despair, misery, degradation, illiteracy. "A monument built of the people's love."—(National Tribute Nov. 18). Sir: The Ku Klux Klan has been revived. Its foolish mummery does not so terrify the Negroes as it arouses bitter resentment, hatred, and the determination, if need be, to sell life dearly. The demonic enemy fails me fully in our treatment of the Negro, Betters laws are needed, no doubt. But beyond and deeper is the need for the uprooting of hatreds and misunderstanding that grow their ugly weeds between the races, and the need for watering and tending the tap root of personal worth and mutual regard in the youth of both. Atlanta university is trying to do just this thing for the Negroes. Primarily a place for the training of teachers, it has insisted upon giving a broad and general education that shall develop men and women with insight and a will to take the responsibilities of leadership. We must overcome prejudice by teaching the race that is responsible for the Ku Klux Klan brand it and shame it out of existence. For the past fifty years the graduates of Atlanta University have shown marked ability as teachers and have filled other positions of responsibility acceptably. One of them, James Weldon Johnson, has recently stirred the whole nation by his accounts of affairs in Hawaii. The graduates are proud for the support of Atlanta university.

Pittsburgh Die DADDY'S EVENING FAIRY TALE By Mary Graham Donner Square "Ah," said Grandfather Frog, "the great time is at hand." "What are you talking of, grandfather?" asked Mr. Felix Frog. "I am talking of the great time which is soon to come," said Grandfather Frog. "The eggs were laid in the mud puddles and upon the mud banks, where they would not roll off. And soon they will be hatched out and there will be gorgeous numbers of little ones—300, or so, all hatched out about the same time just here. "Goog-a-room, goog-a-room, that is a glorious fact." "It is indeed, goog-a-room, goog-a-room, it is indeed," said Mr. Felix Frog. "Now there are the mud turtles," continued Grandfather Frog, "who bury themselves and catch what they can in the mud, they love the mud, too, they love it more than we do. They hardly stir from the mud when the little ones are still very little ones. "The snapping turtles in their grassy, watery homes stretch out their long necks and with their hooked jaws they grab what they want to eat. "Because of their hooked jaws they must swallow what they have reached for with their long necks. That is, they don't eat with their long necks, but their long necks help them to reach for the food and their jaws swallow it down. "Of course, because of their jaws they can't chew. "Old Mud Turtle, over yonder has been waiting for those eggs of hers to hatch out now for two weeks. In another week they will hatch out. "We all like the spring of the year, too. But my history is so much more interesting than that of any of these other creatures." "And so is mine," said Mr. Felix Frog. "To be sure it is," said Grandfather Frog, "for you, too; are a frog. There is an egg first (I am taking one as a sample, for there are many eggs) and then a tadpole wriggles out of the jelly like case it is in and begins its life outside of the egg. "It attaches itself near a nice water weed. Water reaches the gills through the mouth and that, of course, is after it has fed on plants and has begun to get its gills. Then the legs appear, hind ones first. That shows a frog is rather sensible, for hind legs are important to a frog's mind or to the body." Grandfather Frog cleared his throat. "Pray, continue," said Mr. Felix Frog. "I love to hear of our history over and over again even though I know it well myself." "The lungs arrive after the gills," continued Grandfather Frog. Mr. Felix Frog laughed. "You sound as though the trunks arrived after the hand luggage, the way you talk," he said. "But I enjoy it just the same." Grandfather Frog blinked his eyes and went on. "The leopard frog becomes a frog in a summer, but with the green built frog it takes up into the second summer for him to become a full-fledged frog. "We have catches like teeth in our mouths," he continued. "Our eggs are attached to twigs or other supports under the water and the eggs in the jelly are well protected for the jelly as you can easily understand is a protection. And there is the mud which we love, too, and which the eggs thrive near and in. "Oh, dear," said Granfather Frog. "I would be most unhappy if we ever should become frogs right away without having all these interesting experiences first, such as being in jelly and then being tadpoles and all of the fascinating things which frogs do before they become frogs. It is so much more interesting than to become a frog at once." "Ah, well," said Mr. Felx Frog, "we will always do these things—all frogs will—and the history of the frogs will always continue, for it is such an honor to be a froq that one wants to work np to it in degrees." "True, true," said Grandfather Frog, "and I know the family will never change its ways, goog-a-room, goog-a-room." Made Dorothy Tired. Small Dorothy was very restless the other night and was unable to go to sleep. Finally she said: "Papa, please sing to me; that always makes me tired." "May I have a word with yor, Mr. Greene?" began the young man. "Certainly you may," said the Wall street father. "I want you to decide a bet." "Very good. Go on." "I want to marry your daughter."

So here we are presenting Mrs. Chas. Carl of 3115 Amherst avenue, Des Moines, Iowa. Under the rays of our searchlight she was first found at Carley's Department store as shipping clerk and we find that she has held that position for several years and a few days ago she resigned voluntarily. At the present time she is manager of the pastry making department at Younker Brothers, one of the largest stores in the city. In this line instead of getting people outside of her race as assistants she has brought in two other colored women, so many people forget when they have an opportunity to do something for other members of their race to do—sanely without fear she sets an example that is worthy of being followed by others. Mrs. Carl is also a member of the Eastern Star a popular women organization and a member of St. Paul A. M. E. Also a member of the Crusade organization. My motto is that of "Doing all I can for others," said she. Truly, if a person lives an unquestionable life he or she has contributed much to the world and if other things are done additional it is truly worthy of commendation.

The Turkey's Story Told by Himself While the eagle has been given first place as the "national bird," some people have thought that the turkey should have been accorded this place because it is in so general use on our national feast day, and because it had been domesticated by the Indians long before the discovery of America by Columbus. The name was given in error, as it was supposed to have come from Turkey, which it did not, the common turkey being native to North America. But let the turkey tell his own story: I can introduce myself as of the type vertebrate, because I have a back-bone. I am classed as a bird because I am an animal that dresses in feathers rather than in skin like men or to wear wool like sheep, hair like a horse's or fur like a bear. My order is gallinaceous, from a Latin word, meaning hen; and our order is sometimes called rasoes, also from the Latin, because we scratch for a living. We practice "the strenuous life" which others preach. My family is a large one, the Phasianidae, which includes most of the domestic fowls and also phasianas, grouse and quail—nearly 100 species in all. You notice that I have some jaw-breaking words in my scientific record, but my jaws are called mandibles, from a Latin word that means to chew, the upper and lower mandibles forming my bill. The whole opening of my mouth is called my gape (broad a, please,) and sometimes the rictus; but that word should always be restricted to the back corner of my mouth. You must have noticed how beautifully my neck is wattled. That word wattle is Old English and means a bag. The other name for my wattles, caruncle, comes from the Latin and means flesh. I go bareheaded, but wear a great many feathers from my neck down to my tibia. Everybody's leg below the knees (including yours and mine) has two bones, of which one is the tibia. My tibia is feathered. Below that is the tarsus (Greek—heel in vertebrates, the joint that bends back, while the knee-joint bends forward), and this tarsus is bare of feathers, but covered with big scales. I wouldn't dare pronounce all the long words that go with this part of my anatomy, but it may be interesting for you to go turkey-hunting in the dictionary for "sculated" and related wards. Look for "drumstick" and see why it is called "tibia-tarsus." While on my feet and legs I'd better tell you something of my toes, of which I have four, besides the spur, this fast-named weapon being mercifully denied to the females of our family. My first toe grows out in a seemingly awkward way behind the spread of my foot; but it is really a convenience when I want to clutch anything, as, for instance, the branch of the tree where I generally roost. This toe is two-jointed and called the hallux. The second toe, the inner front one, is three-jointed; the third or middle one has four joints, and the fourth or outer one has five joints. Now, when you prepare me for the oven don't throw away my lower legs and feet, but clean them thoroughly with a brush and warm water, to which you have added a pinch of soda. Lay in cold water after a generous rinsing, and when you start the fire to roast my carcass put my legs (the tautus only) and feet into a basin, cover with cold water and let them sit where they will simmer until the roast is done—when you have a foundation or stock for the most delicious broth. I could tell you how the chicken soup trade began in Washington Market with a poor woman who utilized what the marketmen threw away, only to buy back from her in the form of a bowl of steaming hot soup, for which they each paid her a dime—and she became rich from this humble beginning. My "giblets," too (heart, liver and glizzard), are used by the thrifty housewife, who chops them fine after cooking them in the dripping pan with the "bird," and then adds them to the already rich gravy for "home consumption." My glizzard is a sort of mill where my food is crushed, being the second or true stomach, after being softened in the first one, the "crop," In the lower part of the neck. My wishbone has a longer name, furculum, from the Latin word that means fork. The meaning is obvious. As to my plumage, first are the "contour feathers." These give outline color and are ornamental appendages. These feathers are moved by muscles which are located under the skin, give me a chance to "spread myself" by brushing the ground with my wings, erecting my body and tail feathers until I seem twice my usual size while strutting about and uttering my "gobble." That word, by the way, is Old English. A Mr. Business Man —That vexing QUESTION answered —that business problem solved —directly, accurately and instantaneously. THE ADVERTISING PROBLEMS All advertisers are confronted with three big PROBLEMS. Briefly they are: (1) WHEN shall I advertise! (2) Where shall I advertise! (3) How shall I advertise! The BYSTANDER, a paper that reaches thousands of colored people in Des Moines, thousands in Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Mississippi, Nebraska and other states, is the mouth-piece through which they speak to YOU.— (1) Advertise when we get our money or the most of it, that is about Saturday—let us know that you want our TRADE. Keep advertising in our paper THE BYSTANDER. (2) Advertise in all the papers but don't forget we will investigate and buy when you advertise in THE BYSTANDER. Why? because, it lets us know you want our DOLLARS and are willing to spend something to get them. We buy good things as well as other people; we will buy from you, if you will advertise in our paper. (3) First, advertise regularly, attractively and everything that is sellable to anyone, because you can't tell what or when we buy.

"Just what is the Near East Relief? is the question that many people are asking whose interests have been awakened to the terrible conditions existing in the Levant today," says Alexander J. Hemphill. President of the Guarantee Trust Company and well known New York banker and financier. "In prosaic facts, the Near East Relief is a body incorporated by act of Congress the object of which is to provide relief and to assist in the repatriation, rehabilitation and re-establishment of suffering and dependent people of the Near East and adjacent areas; to provide for the care of orphans and widows and to promote the social, economic and industrial wei- PETER H. ALEXANDER J. HEMPHILL fare of those who have been rendered destitute or dependent, directly or in- directly, by the vicissitudes of war, the cruelties of men or other causes beyond their control.' 100 Per Cent Relief. "The sim of the organization is 100 per cent relief, the relief which puts those sided on a self-supporting basis, which instills in them a confidence for the future, places in their hands the means with which to begin life anew, and in their hearts the courage to go on. Work, that is the prescription subscribed and provided by those loyal men and women who have journeyed into perilous places for the sake of their fellow men; to make these people independent for the future, to encourage the flickering fire of national pride. "There are 82,291 workers employed in the industrial establishments of the Near East Relief, where wool is furnished for the women to spin and weave, and all the girls who are strong enough are washing wool, sewing beds, grinding and sifting wheat, tailoring and learning to make lace. The big problem is to make these women independent." "About 500 American men and women, Near East Relief workers, are now in the field, including 86 eminent physicians and surgeons, 76 nurses, 7 mechanics, 15 industrial experts, 16 agriculturists, 14 bacteriologists, 197 relief workers, 25 supply and transport workers, 19 teachers, 20 administrators, 34 secretaries, 7 engineers and 45 army officers. Where Money Goes. "Funds for relief purposes are distributed in two ways: First, the various relief centers are authorized by the Executive Committee to draw sight drafts on New York for specific amounts each month; second, by supplies purchased in America, the major portion of which are shipped to the committee warehouses at Derindje, and the remainder either to Beyrouth or Batumu. "The relief is rapidly expanding and meeting the situation, but the future depends on the continuation of American support." According to Mr. Hemphill, the need for American help to see the destitute peoples of the Near East through the crisis of present conditions is greater now than ever before on account of the uncertainty as to the future, the truculence of the Turkish government and the danger of bolshevism from Russia, which threatens to engulf the whole of Armenia. Mr. Hemphill is the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the Near East Relief. Other members are Dr. James L. Barton, Secretary of the Foreign Department of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; Edwin M. Bulkley, banker, of Spencer Trask & Co., New York; Judge Abram I. Elkus, former United States Ambassador to Turkey; Harold A. Hatch, a well known New York cotton man; Herbert Hoover; William B. Millar, one of the Secretaries of the Interchurch World Movement; Henry Morgenthau, United States Ambassador to Mexico; Edgar Riekard of the American Relief Administration; Charles V. Vickrey, who is Secretary of the Near East Relief, and Dr. Stanley White, secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions, of the Presbyterian Church. THE HANDS UP New East Relief Workers Distributing Bread to Newly Arrived Armenian Refugees in Constantinople. The Constantinople district of the Near East Relief is wonderfully organized. All the bakeries which formerly supplied the Turkish army, under German management, have been taken over by the Near East Relief, and 20,000 loaves of bread are baked and distributed daily. Placed side by side, these loaves would make a line 290 miles long, for the five months that the Near East Relief has operated its consolidated bakeries in Constantinople, alone. The Near East Relief, with offices in every state, is asking for funds to go on with this work. THE CHURCH OF THE NUNS As cold weather sets in refugees are pouring Into Near East Relief centers. This group is fed daily in the former Russian barracks at Alexandropel, one of the safest cities in the Caucasus. WAITING FOR US TO SET THE TABLE A table twenty-four miles long is plainly an extension table and that is just the length that would seat all of the orphans now being fed by the Near East Relief. This table is set in sections all over the hills of Asia Minor, Syria, Armenia and in Northern Persia. It is not in one piece. The Turks, who still keep the Armenians in a state of terror, do not allow it. But there the table is, seated on both sides with orphans—Syrian and The Table Is Now 24. Miles Long. Assyrian, Greek and Armenian, Jew and Christian—all rescued from the fear of the Turk and under the care of American men and women. Most of the children are cared for in 229 American supported orphanages. The first ceremony in receiving these starved, almost naked children, is to clean them up. They are not only emaciated, but dirty with sores and vermin—69 hospitals and over 6,000 beds are kept full of the little sufferers. But the children keep changing. Last year they were all thin and pitiful; now it is the newcomers who are thin. The orphans who have been from six months to a year in American care are well fed and well clothed. Best of all for a new Near East which surely must come out of all this distress, every child old enough is being taught a trade which will make him self supporting. They are a thrifty lot, these little parentless exiles. From their scant store of bread they always carry a portion in a small bag about their necks—they fear the day of another killing, another drive into the desert. They horde the shoes sent from America until snow files—the remember their barefoot pain in the snows last spring. They cling to their new found friends. Every day other little walfs find a place in the orphanages and are told of the generous people of the United States. Soon the entrances will be crowded with children frozen out from their temporary summer quarters. Then the table of the Near East Relief must be extended—many, many new leaves will be needed, and America is asked to set the table. THE BYSTANDER M up to Constantinople to the house of the man"— She stopped and put one hand over her eyes, a hand that bore the tell-tale tattoo of her Turkish master. "But what does my story matter!" she exclaimed. "I am only one of so many. It is my people and their future that matters. Somehow we must rebuild our nation and show to the Turks who tried to beat out our life and to the whole world that, despite what we have suffered, Armenia is still unconquerable." Aghavni Millian is, as she says, only one of many. It is estimated that one hundred thousand girls are still held captive in Turkish harema. The Near East Relief, America's official agent in Armenia, is making this work of rescue one of the most important features of its program, and it is to them and the support they receive from the American people that Aghavni's unfortunate sisters, still captive, must look for their release.

A Dressed as She Should Be BUYERS in throngs are making their holiday pilgrimage to the ribbon counters just now, looking for suggestions for gifts. There is a long list of handsome and dainty articles made of ribbon on display, with bags of many kinds maintaining their place as the favorite. Shopping bags consume more yards of ribbon than any other one of the innumerable things that are made of it, for these bags are more decorative and more serviceable than almost any other kind. Their richness appeals to women and their individuality. Purchasers pick out the style of bag they like, select the ribbon and mounting that pleases them most, choose a proper lining and put them together in a way to suit themselves. If they need any coaching those who sell the ribbons are there to help them out. Three handsome bags as shown in the picture are fine examples of ribbon work. Plain satin and metallic brocaded ribbon are used for the bag at the left of the group. It is made by gathering the brocaded ribbon along its edges and sewing these gathered edges to a panel of the plain ribbon. For decoration a heavy silk or tinsel cord is applied in a loose knot and Dressed as WHEN the pretty and amusing flapper is dressed as she should be, she has a charm of her own. Usually this young person is opinionated and would like to array herself in more or less startling, not to say vampish, apparel; the gentle art of dressing appropriately is more often a matter of education than of natural good taste. As a rule, very young girls at present are overdressed, and by just so much as they are overdressed they are losers in appeal and charm. This is less true of the daughters of families that have had generations of money and position back of them then of the newly prosperous. Certain high-class schools throughout the country dictate to their students in matters of dress, for several good reasons. In the picture above we have the The Bystander Year Bo Pressing Machine Disinfecta Garments Thor- culus removes all germs. No burning, sorch- sewed int to the bag with invisible stitches, the ends of the cord finished as pictured. A curved instead of a straight mounting is used for the bag at the right. Celluloid and metal mountings come in a variety of colors and designs. Plain ribbon with a floral embroidered design makes this pretty bag and the same ribbon is fashioned into a conventional rose surrounded by rose leaves, that is set at the center of the bag. Its handles are made of narrow but heavy fallie ribbon. The remaining bag is a dignified affair in black and silver brocaded ribbon gathered about a disk of narrow silver ribbon and has a silver mounting suspended by a silk cord. The ribbon counters display their usual array of dalty lingerie bows and rosettes, garters, hair ribbons, sachet bags, covered hangers and shoe trees, tles, corsage flowers and boutonnieres, and besides these personal belongings there are many beautiful furnishings for the seeker after gifts.

For gaining an understanding of the matter of balance take a business-size envelope. Drop this flatwise, straight down, and it will land upon the ground without upsetting; but give it a forward movement and it will upset. Its upsetting in the one case but not in the other is due to the action of two forces, the force of gravity which pulls it groundward and the air pressure beneath which buoys it up. In order to have it balance, the centers of these two forces must coincide.

When the envelope moves forward while dropping, the center of air pressure shifts forward, the front edge is forced up, and the envelope upsets (Fig. 2). To make the envelope into a glider that will not upset, it becomes necessary to shift the center of gravity to a point which will coincide with the center of pressure. This can be done by adding weight to the forward edge. Try a paper clip (Fig. 3). If with this in place the envelope darts head-on to the ground, the clip is too heavy, and has caused the center of gravity to shift beyond the center of pressure $\textcircled{5}$ $\textcircled{6}$ $\textcircled{7}$ (Fig. 3). Slide the clip back and forth until the weight is so adjusted that the envelope glider will first dip nose down for a distance, then straighten up and glide horizontally (Fig. A). If an air current strikes the envelope sidewise, it will cause the center of pressure to shift and the envelope to upset. Bend along the center so the ends will tilt up (Fig. 5) and this danger will be lessened. The filted surface allows the air to slip off of the ends more readily than a flat surface does. Consequently when a side current strikes end A, Fig. 5), lifts it up and turns end B down, as indicated by dotted lines, the envelope slider $\textcircled{8}$ $\textcircled{9}$ $\textcircled{10}$ quickly rights itself because the air slips out from under tilted end A and the air pressure forces up flat end B. Fig. 6 shows how by opening all pasted flaps of an envelope, and slipping a paper clip over the folded over gummed flap, you can make a glider with wings turned up at the tip (Fig. 7). Fig. 8 shows a simple glider. The "fuselage" or framework (A) connecting the "planes" is a cardboard strip (Fig. 10) folded into the form of Fig. 9. Main plane B and "elevator" plane C (Figs. 8, 11 and 12) center in their length upon fuselage A, and must be shifted back and forth until the center of gravity and center of air pressure are the same. Cut slots through the fuselage for the planes to slip through (Fig. 9), and stick pins through from the underside of the fuselage (Fig. 9) to hold the planes in position. Launch this model with elevator in front. "There is one thing which has always puzzled me in military matters." "What is that?" "How a standing army can be kept in good running order."
