Chicago, Sept. 15—An organization to promote harmony and good feeling between all classes, races and religions in America was announced in the process of formation here today, with Edward F. Dunne, former governor of Illinois, at its head. The society will be known as the National Unity council, and its organizers intend ultimately to spread it to every section of the country, according to Mr. Dunne. One of the prime motives behind the organization, organizers said, was to combat the Ku Klux Klan, and organization of councils will be pushed, particularly where the klan has obtained a foothold. Harmony and Good Will "In view of the fact that the Ku Klux Klan has adopted the weapon of mass action, it was our desire to organize a society which shall develop harmony and good feeling between different classes, rather than enmity," Mr. Dunne said today. "Invitations were sent out last week to many prominent church, political, business and welfare men and the replies are coming in now. "We will hold a meeting in a few days to complete plans, and eventually extend the organization to every part of the country." New Orleans Colored Woman Finances Race (By The Associated Negro Press.)

St. Joseph, Mo., Sept. 15.—Olive Scott 18 years old, colored girl, of Elwood, Kansas, has confessed to the sheriff of Troy, Kansas, that she threw her two sisters, 8 and 10 years old, respectively, into the Missouri river to escape the trouble of taking care of them, and because she was tired of the job. Iowa's Only Colored Movie Has Successful Opening TO THE BYSTANDER AND ITS READERS I am glad to note the kindly interest you have taken in the reopening of the Lincoln.

New Bedford, Mass., Sept. 15—An increase in the demand for cotton goods is reported here, with consequent stimulation of operations, the output being estimated at 80 to 90 per cent of normal. Recovery in the yard departments is reported much slower, although one mill has started up a night shift to take care of the orders received during the last few weeks. When the machinery installed in new mills is ready, mill heads say, there will be a shortage of skilled labor. Declaring that the testimony of Joe Williams, Negro, who is under indictment for the murder of Sara Barbara Thorsdale, was not sufficient, when unsupported, to incriminate George Davenport, another Negro held for the murder, Judge W. G. Bonner refused to bind the latter over to the Grand Jury at his trial in City Court Tuesday. at his trial in 1914.

There is but one colored theatre in the whole state of Iowa and the Lincoln is it. Suggestions are always acceptable and will be gladly complied with for you are the ones to be satisfied. But remember the Bystander mentioned as one of the reasons for the Lincoln closing was "lack of patronage." Personally, I am going to do all within my power to make the Lincoln a success. All that I ask is co-operation and the patronage of the colored people as a reward for my efforts. Respectfully, M. Pizaro Ferdon. Des Mones Illiteracy Statistics Com- CENSUS SHOWS 1,396 UNABLE TO WRITE. There are 1,396 persons ten years of age and over in Des Moines who are illiterate in the sense of being unable to write, according to the census bureau at Washington. Among, 800 foreign born whites and 282 Negroes. The census bureau reports there are 20,680 persons of similar illiteracy in Iowa, with less than one-fourth of them natives whites or of native parentage. Iowa had the distinction of having the smallest percentage of illiteracy of any of the states in 1910, but whether it still retains this distinction has not yet been determined. She Is Noisy Great press.)—An in goods stim- being of nor The man who was selected from Iowa to organize the Klan in Minneapolis and St. Paul has sued the organization for his salary. He has also sent in his resignation according to information received recently. The Imperial Wizard in his advertisements recently said that the Klan does not try to stir up racial hatred and mob violence and before that news had reached to readers of the press, reports were received from all sources that the Klan was doing those very things not in theory but "practice." The first appearance of the Klan in Des Moines recommended "White Supremacy." The Klan is outspoken against the Jew, Negro, Catholic and Aliens. The Klan makes its own regalia, the last sale from same to members netted them more than five million dollars. It is an "Empire" something like the German Empire with its "Emperor." Governor Kendall of Iowa says: I do not believe that any secret society which takes from the state the Iowa H of R.

Federal Judge in New York Takes Action. New York, Sept. 15—Without mentioning the Ku Klux Klan by name, Judge William B. Sheppard of Florida, in charging the federal grand jury today, told the jurors that it was clearly within their province to investigate secret societies "which hold meetings behind trees, by the light of bonfires and in secret places," if the jurors thought the acts of such organizations interfered with the constitutional rights of citizens. "Any organization," he said, "whose members wear white suits and masks, which attempts to prevent orderly citizens from the enjoyment of their constitutional rights, freedom of speech and conscience and rights of trial by jury, is a proper subject for investigate ion. That is because such behavior on the part of a secret society is a conspiracy and the law can be brought to bear upon them. New York, Sept. 15.—The following telegram was received at the N. A. A. C. P. headquarters from W. E. B. DuBois regarding the pan-American congress in session at Paris. ORGANIZATION PERMANENT SESSION GOOD NEGROS DRIVEN OUT OF TOWN AFTER SHOOTING Chattanooga, Tenn., Sept. 15—The entire Negro population of Montlake, a mining village twenty miles from here, was driven from their homes yesterday by white residents following the probably fatal shooting of Edna Barnett, white, 12 years old, and the wounding of her three sisters by Jewell Clipper, a Negro girl. A pose of deputy sheriffs from this city arriving in Montlake last night found armed guards patrolling the vil functions of the government is wise. He further states "the legal machinery of Iowa is adequate to protect its citizens and punish all violations of law." Ex-Secretary of Agriculture E. T. Meredith says: "Because of the psychological attraction of a secret society, people of good motives might be induced to join, but I don't believe that the promoters can find enough of the type I understand the klansman to be to build a strong organization in Iowa. These people may simply take the law into their own hands. They are anarchist when you get right to some of the things that they do." Samuel Gompers Flays the Klan. "The organization of the Klan is a menace to the liberties of all people. It is subservient to the democratic government and principles and a thing abhorrent to all right minded women and men. The throwing of full glare upon it is thereby arousing the public opinion and is doing the world a real substantial service." Impered Klan Announces Its Colledge Chicago, Ill., Sept. 9.

Chicago, Ill., Sept. 15.—The Ku Klux Klan was vehemently assailed as "completely un-American" and "the greatest disintegrating force at work in this country today" by Bishop Samuel Fallows, speaking before the Dill Pickle Club last Sunday night. "The Ku Klux Klan strikes at the root of principles upon which this nation was built," said the bishop. "It undertakes to do in a secret manner duties delegated to established institutions. It presumes to be the judge and jury. It is the direct antithesis of Americanism. "It is the greatest disintegrating force at work in America today. It holds all its dealings in secret and under cover of darkness. It is adeliberate insult to 11,000,000 colored people of our nation." Bishop Fallows sketched the history of the organization from its inception during the civil war times to the present time. "It subjected colored people to such gross indignities that the government was finally obliged to suppress it," he insisted. "It was formally placed on trial as an organization, convicted, condemned and abolished. And that's what should be done today." Ga. Farmer Indicted on Peonage Charge (By The Associated Negro Press.) Savannah, Ga., Sept. 15—Three Jenkins county farmers, Allen Hooks, Lester Hooks and Rema Hart, are held for the federal court here on a charge of peonage, their bonds being fixed at $3,000 each.

WHEN Shakespeare wanted to express the tragedy involved in the snuffing out of the life of his most intellectual character, he did it by these words, "The rest is silence." He might have put it in another way, by saying that Hamlet would ask no more questions. For that was his most disconcerting habit. Keeping silence before a puzzling world, and a puzzling universe, is something that man has never done. The human being who just asked the reason for the first nightfall and the first appearance of the stars stood on the threshold of all modern scientific investigation. So, if it were necessary to find a definition of man which would differentiate him from all the rest of creatures, it would be sufficient to say of him: "He is the animal that asks questions." our votes to the people who deliver the goods and not to any particular party just because it is a certain party. We would be doing the thing that would add to the impression that Editor Warley will create. This backed up with a few demonstrations and are long we will be getting the things that rightly belong to us. There can hardly be any question as to the precedent set by Warley being the one to get proper results and if this is followed up from time to time and proves a failure then we should withdraw our support altogether and it would not be long ere the other three parties would be waring and we would have to come in and save the day, then surely a square deal would be forth coming. Improper legislation or improper actions on the part of any organization leads to defeat the very object that that law or organization is in quest of. The party will break its neck or it will come so near breaking some one else's neck, that the Negro will have to save the latter. Our cheerers for Editor Warley! Who'll be the next? Oh who'll be the next to follow Warley. JUST MATTER FOR DEDUCTION Rudyard Kipling in a striking line talked of "the law of the jungle." The writers of fables have not pulled the long how in attributing to the beasts the sense of justice, even if they were making fun of society in doing so. So the lion stands for the maker of rules, and the monkey for him who evades them. So law is not peculiar to the children of Adam. The animals know political economy. "Go to the ant thou sluggard," said King Solomon. This little creature shows what can be done through the organized efforts of thousands of insects, whose operation stopped in a moment by the foot of a passing giant in the shape of a mischievous boy. So business organization is not exclusively human. It is impossible to look at the combs of a beehive without realizing that the creatures who made it know geometry and architecture. The cells are so constructed as to give the maximum of strength with the minimum of expenditure in the way of material. So the Brooklyn bridge, or the dome of St Peter's, is not a proof of human superiority. There is a solitary eagle to be seen every day, soaring over a lake in western Ontario. Once he had a mate. But she disappeared one winter. Since then the widower has never married. The natives say that it is the habit of these birds to be perpetually true to their first and only love. So constancy is not the exclusive virtue of our race. When Christ wanted to express his affection for Jerusalem, he could think of nothing better to say than that he would have gathered its people about him, as a hen gathers her chickens under her wings. This timid bird will face any peril if she thinks that her young are in danger. In the same way the bear of the North woods, which will fly before man under ordinary circumstances, will fight to the death if she thinks her cubs are threatened. So family affection and devotion do not set mankind apart from the rest of the animal kingdom. Only the other day a raccoon at the Bronx zoological gardens in New York, was in danger of starving to death because the gatekeeper who had tamed and petted him had been sent to the hospital. The animal would not take food from a stranger. So fidelity and gratitude are not confined to the lords of creation. But there is no reason to believe that the beasts of the jungle that have their hunting laws, or the ants that lay up their store for winter, or the bees that know practical geometry, or the eagle that mourns his dead IMPRESSION GETS EXPRESSION IMPRESSION GETS EXPRESSION A noted educator once said that in an event that he is trying to raise a sum of money to foster some of the developments around his institution, that he always spent considerable time making an impression and then to get an expression in the form of a check was needed. Of all the things that have been done and said concerning the actions of the republican party toward the Negro, the actions of Editor Warley in Kentucky is the best yet. Editor Wavenly found out the party did not give his people what they are rightly entitled too, so, he quit the party and joined the Negro Independent party. That to our minds is the way to get proper consideration, impress the republican party that your vote is not theirs for ever, simply because you happen to be freed by their enemies. We have said that and said that we are not free to continue playing. The same thing is in a different context. our votes to the people who deliver the goods and not to any particular party just because it is a certain party. We would be doing the thing that would add to the impression that Editor Warley will create. This backed up with a few demonstrations and ere long we will be getting the things that rightly belong to us. There can hardly be any question as to the precedent set by Warley being the one to get proper results and if this is followed up from time to time and proves a failure then we should withdraw our support altogether and it would not be long ere the other three parties would be waring and we would have to come in and save the day, then surely a square deal would be forth coming. Improper legislation or improper actions on the part of any organization like the very idea that that law or organization is in the quest of. The party will break its neck or it will come so near breaking some one else's neck, that the cheers will have to save the latter. Three cheers for Editor Warley! Who'll be the next? Oh who'll be the next to follow Warley. JUST MATTER OR DEDUCTION Speaking of the development of the story-telling talent in youth, Richard Bennett, the actor, is fond of relating this incident: Some years ago a prominent citizen of a town lost a horse. It was not much of a horse. In fact, it was blind in one eye and spavined. But, perhaps as a relic, Bennett says, the prominent citizen wanted the horse. So he advertised, offering $5 reward for its return. The town half-wit, a boy of nineteen, with a harelip, came one afternoon leading the horse, with a strap about the size of a sheostring, to the prominent citizen's door. The horse's owner was pleased. "Now," said he kindly, scenting a good narrative and perhaps an adventure, "now, my boy, here's your $5; and I'll give you another $3 if you'll tell me just how you found my horse." "Well, all right," said the boy, "I just thought if I was that old horse where I would go, and I did and he was." He got the extra five—Kansas City Star. TIGERS USEFUL IN SUMATRA Lords of the Jungle Protected for Their Services as Destroyers of Wild Boars. Tiger hunting is now prohibited in Sumatra. Lest our national pride should be touched, let it be said that this measure has nothing to do with M. Clemencean—there is no fear of seeing the fauna of the big island destroyed by European ex-premiers on their travels. No, the truth is more prosalic. Truth is always prosalic. Ingleigh the tigers are protected because they devour the wild bears, which are great despoilers of the plantations. The tigers are in a way monstrous cats preying on enormous rats. Here is a domestic and utilitarian role of which Kipling, poet of the jungle, never dreamed.—From the Paris Figaro. Newlyweds. My husband and I having been married just a short time, arrived in New York and went to one of the best-known hotels. My husband registered and we went up to our room. I said, "Oh, John, I hope you didn't register and wife, hate that." Then the woman just just an appendage. I meant to tell you to be sure and write 'Mr. and Mrs.' The expression on John's face was almost tragic, so I hastened to assure him that it wasn't that serious. "But it is serious. What do you suppose I've done? I registered 'John Brooks and Mary Allen.'" Just then there was a loud knock at the door. It was the house detective. Of course, right, but it certainly was embarrassing—Chicago Tribune. Women Proving Mere Pelite. It is not an uncommon sight now to see a young girl get up and offer her seat in the subway to an elderly woman, whose entrance has been ignored by the male passengers. Such usually brings some blushing humble man to his feet with a stammering offer of "have my seat," but the climax was reached when the girl, with a milded expression, wielded a woman took a seat at the same table with one of her own sex, a stranger to her, and on finishing dinner politely required: "Do you mind if I smoke in York Sun." ___ THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA Burial Place of Chicago police not long ago disco- of water was a burying place for sto- of valuable parts.

After the arrival of the guests a four-course dinner was served. The guests then returning to the drawing room were entertained with music and games until the hour of departure.

The dinner tables were beautifully effective with pink and white colors. Many beautiful dainty and useful gifts were received by both and the guests wish a hall and hearty send-off for another birthday anniversary.

LURIE Common Errors in English and How to Avoid Them "TO ENJOY POOR HEALTH." THIS is one of the incorrect phrases which have somehow crept into common usage in the English language, although a moment's thought will show the speaker or writer that it is absurd to say that a person "enjoys" poor health. "To enjoy" means "to experience joy or pleasure in; receive pleasure from the possession or use of or participation in delight in" (Standard Dictionary). Why, then, should a person say, "I have enjoyed poor health during the past year?" You can enjoy only that which brings you pleasure or profit; and surely all health brings neither. Of course, it is quite proper to say, "I have enjoyed good health," since good health, being the greatest of human blessings, is to be appreciated and enjoyed. A similar error it to be "agreeably" disappointed. If you are disappointed, the experience cannot be agreeable. How It Started THE WORD "RUBBER" THE material which we now know as "rubber" was formerly called elastic gum. One of the earliest uses of this gum had been to erase marks on paper, and the chemist, Priestly, in about 1770, suggested that the material which erased or "rubbed" so effectively should be called "India rubber." His suggestion was adopted, and the name soon became universal. (Copyright). Potentially Genuine. "Waiter, I ordered chicken soup. What do you call this?" "That's it, sir--young chicken soup."

IT IS always a bad idea to knock the other man's home town. Especially poor policy is it when you are making your living there. Yet there are always young men—and women, too—who seem to take peculiar satisfaction in passing uncomplimentary comments on the city or town of their adoption. They don't seem to remember that the man or woman who is at home in that town is in a position of host and that to make scathing remarks about the town is almost as rude as to make scathing remarks about the house of the man whose guest you are. Especially is this so when the town is small. The stranger in a town like New York or Chicago really harms no one but himself when he continues to pour forth his disgruntlement over the city of his temporary sojourn. No one takes offense. At most they are bored or amused. But when a stranger in a small town assures the natives that it is away behind the times, that the buildings are atrocious, the streets the worst paved in the country, the restaurants and hotels the worst run, the women the plainest and the movies the oldest he is giving real offense, besides, of course, making himself very unpopular. It really indicates nothing more than a person's own narrowness to "knock" another town in this way. If the man from a large city goes to a small one he should take it for granted that things would be different. If a Northerner goes South he should bear in mind that Southern climates make people more indolent and he should remember that if he remains there long enough he, too, will possess something of that indolence. And if a Southerner goes North he should remember that the natives of the northern cities have really nothing to do with the raw climate and that the very progressiveness which has brought him North to do business robs daily intercourse of some of the charming courtesy that makes Southern life so different. The real man of the world soon forgets any local prejudices he may have, or he is wise and well bred enough to forget them. He realizes that it is through no fault of the natives of the town where he sojourns that he has to remain among them and that theoretically at least he is free to leave the town if he does not like it. Just at present there are a many shifts in business and industry. The end of the war and demobilization of the soldiers and the closing of certain war industries have made it inevitable that a good many young men should find themselves in a new environment. City men find themselves in the country or village, and country and village men find themselves for the first time in the big cities; Easterners find themselves in the West, Westerners awake to the fact that great opportunities await in the land of cotton and Southerners on embarking in the northern ports discover that there are opportunities for them there that they have not at home. If you are one of these young men in a new environment show your good sense and good breeding by not knocking the town of your sojourn- (Copyright).

GIRLS AT LAKE OKOBOJI (By Mary E. Wood) Thursday morning, August 25, a delegation of nine, including the secretary boarded the train going to the Y. W. C. A. camp at Lake Okoboji. The trip was long and tiresome because we were so anxious to reach our destination. When we got off at Milford, Iowa, taxis were waiting to carry us to the camp which is four miles and a half from the station. As we drove up in front of the dining hall we were greeted with cheers from Davenport, Clinton, Rock Island, Ill.; Omaha, Neb.; and St. Paul, Minna girls. Acquaintances were soon made and by dinner time we were stunch friends. I know everyone is familiar with the old adage, "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy." On Friday morning we found that this had been reversed and now read, "All play and no work makes Jane a dull girl," for we were all organized into Bible recreation and forum classes. In our Bible class the main subject was: "Friendship with Jesus Christ," the recreation class gave us many helpful suggestions on "How to make a party a success and the forum class discussed," "Problems confronting the Negro girl of today." All classes were held in the morning and the afternoons were spent in swimming, rowing and other athletic diversions. The evenings were usually spent in a novel way and at 10 o'clock the bell sounded "lights out." Camp Gains The chief gain was our new friends, "every girl a comrade true, whatever school or fame." We established a regular way of living, learned new plans to bring home to our "Y" discovered the real meaning of recreation, learned to further develop our character, create deeper sense of uprightness and loyalty to friends. Statistics. There were forty-two members in camp, three permanent officers, eight leaders and thirty-one girls. Classified according to religion there are as follows: Fifteen Methodists, twelve Baptists, six Congregationalists, five Episcopalians, and one registered no church connection. Classified according to occupation there are: thirteen students, eleven Y. W. C. A. secretaries, three office girls, four housewives, four cateresses, one saleslady and one elevator operator. Each girl returned home September 3 with a determination to return next year and induce as many girls as possible to return with them. THE ROOSEVELT CLUB The above named club which was organized some years ago by a select group of men for social reasons gave a reception last week in honor of members of the famous Appomato club of Chicago as a few special guests of the city.

The biggest bunch of men were seen present at that meeting to any other meeting for men only among colored, in the history of Des Moines. The city federation will hold its meeting at the Y. W. C. A.

Little Elizabeth Berry, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Berry, who resides on Fourteenth street place entertained the C. E. Sunday evening by playing that number in a very pleasing manner. A moving picture by the title "Humoresque" is the sensation of the current season.

In his haste the boy ran over a four-dollar stand of bees, and in ten minutes looked like a warty summer squash. His cries reached his father, who ran to his assistance, and failing to notice a barbed wire fence, ran into it, breaking it down, vutting a handful of flesh from his 'anatomy and ruining a five-dollar pair of pants. The old cow took advantage of the gap in the fence and got into the cornfield and killed herself eating corn. Hearing the racket, the mother ran, upsetting a four-gallon churn of rich cream into a basket of kittens, drowning the whole litter. In her hurry she dropped and broke, past all hope of mending, a twenty-five dollar set of false teeth. The baby, left alone, crawled through the spilled cream and into the parlor, ruining a twenty-dollar carpet. During the excitement the eldest daughter ran away with the hired man, the dog broke up eleven setting hens and the calf got out and chewed the tails out of four fine shirts. All to save a measly dollar. The executive board of the St. Paul Christian Endeavor met at the home of Mrs. Ewing last Thursday evening and plans were laid for a grand entertainment that the league is going to exhibit in the near future.

Mr. Moon-man was right; he was to have trouble with the saucy, fleecy lit-the clouds, and just as his bright face peeped over the treetops all the little fleecy clouds scudded right into his face. Mr. Moon-man ducked and dodged until at last he found a space between "WELL, HERE I AM," SHE SAID the saucy little clouds to shine upon the earth below, but no sooner had he done so than the little clouds danced and frolicked in front of him until he was quite hidden again. Mr. Moon-man is a very nice old fellow, so he said very pleasantly: "Go along with you and play in another part of the sky.

"Dept. A-5" to have, and all at poor Mr. Moon-man's discomfort. He had just found a nice big place to shine through when all those saucy little clouds began to dance right in front of him again. First, they would hide his bright face completely, and then they would scud away and let him shine a minute, only to scud in front of him again. At last the old man lost his patience and sent a message by a star for the old Sky Witch. "Tell her to hurry," he told the little messenger, "for I have lost a great deal of time now." Old Sky Witch came hurrying along on her broomstick, her long black cap floating behind her like a big cloud. "Well, here I am," she said, "what can I do for you?" "Hurry as fast as ever you can to the four corners of the Earth and tell the winds to come here quickly; or I shall not be able to shine at all tonight," said Mr. Moon-man. Old Sky Witch did not stop even to ask what was the matter, but off she flew and was soon out of sight, and all the time the saucy little clouds kept on bothering Mr. Moon-man. He did not have to wait long, for as soon as the winds got the message from the Witch they blew quickly to help Mr. Moon-man out of his trouble." "Away with you, you little torments!" called the winds, as they blew from north, south, east and west, and scudling away as fast as they could the saucy little clouds were soon in a faroff part of the sky and old Moon-man sent his bright beams on the earth without being disturbed. "Thank you," said Mr. Moon-man; "sorry to call on you at this time in the night, but those saucy clouds were pestering me beyond endurance." "Oh, that's all right," answered the winds; "we are always glad to help a friend" and away they blew and left the night all still, but the big Earth was bright with the happy smile of Mr. Moon-mnr.

Jones, RETAINED RELICS OF GALILEO Fanatical Admirer of the Great Italian Insisted on Keeping Portions of His Body. The report that Robert Bruce's heart has been discovered at Melrose, in Scotland, reminds an Italian paper of the fate of Gallieo's remains, according to the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. When the body of Gallieo was exhumed from its original resting place on March 12, 1737, and removed to the magnificent mausoleum in the Church of Santa Croce, Florence, Marquia Vincenzo Capponi, who was a fanatical admirer of Gallieo, took possession of the right-hand thumb and forefinger. In those present at the exhumation protested strongly, but the marquis had his way, declaring his intention to "cherish these fingers as sacred relics," which prompted the report: "Instead of Gallieo's fingers it would be better for you to have his brains." This bad example proved contagious, for the left thumb and one of the ribs were annexed by two other members of the company, and these relics are now in the museum of the university. Marquis Capponi had an urn made for his portion of the body, which all newcomers were called upon to admire as the greatest treasure in the house. At the beginning of the last century the Capponai family fell upon evil days and emigrated to France, leaving the Gallileo relics to become the property of an old butler who had long been in their service. Other oddments given him by his master proved salable, but he could find no market for Gallileo's finger and thumb, and these eventually passed to one of the butler's descendants, Signora Laura Jonl. In 1905, when she was old and poor, some one advised Signora Jonl to offer to sell the relics to the Italian government. Inquiries were instituted which proved the authenticity of the relics beyond a doubt, and they are now preserved with other mementoes of Gallileo, the vendor having received a handsome price for In Unexpected Places. One of the curious features about the most modern of modern inventions, the airplane and the wireless telegraph, is that they are most in demand in lands which hitherto have let the world of progress and invention pass by unheeded. The nomad in the deserts of Arabia, who never saw a railway, today takes an airplane as he travels to the island China, which in all other responses much as it was 3,000 years ago, is eager for the erection of wireless stations. The latest country to be brought into the great ambit is Greenland. Greenland, during the winter months, is cut off from the rest of the world, but when the Danish government has carrled out its present scheme for the erection in Greenland of a radio station capable of communicating direct messages to people of Godhann will be as much in force as far as news is concerned, as the good people of Copenhagen.—Christian Science Monitor. Bad Control. Producer Hal E. Roach found his star comedian, Harold Lloyd, sprawled on the dressing-room floor trying to get a 'million dollars' worth of laugh out of his system. Lloyd had turned a studio corner at the right moment to see what promised to be a "hot scrap" between two darky "extras." Just when it appeared that the heavy weight on tap, one of the belligerents started to run across the lot and hurried a force. "I'm surprised at you, G.

MILK.WITH MUCH CEREMONY Dalryning as a Ritual in Royal Court in District of Uganda, Central Africa. The remarkable and elaborate ceremonies observed in Bundoro, Uganda, in Central Africa, in milking the sacred cows are described by Rev. John Roscoe in the London Illustrated News, after acquiring cows had been led to the royal shade by a herald, two milkmaids appeared, one bearing a horn of water and a brush with a short handle, the second carrying a milkpot. Each of these women was purified and decorated, having the face, chest and arms whitened with plipeau. The milkmaid handed the brush to a milkman, who rubbed the cow's udder, and handed the brush face to the milkman. He then placed his face on the cow's head and held its tail so that it could not whisk dust into the milk during the milking. The maid now turned to the other man, and poured a little water over his hands, as he squatted by the side of the cow. After washing, the man held his hands together raised, until the other milkmaid placed the milkpot between his knees, when he milked the amount the cow was expected to give. Neither of these men must look at the cow, but the pain of death. In this manner two cows were milked, and the milk was carried away into the dairy. Another milkmald, ceremonially cleansed and whitened, came and knelt before the king, and announced that the milk had arrived. The king then rose, and, as he did so, the guard at the door announced to the court that the king had gone to drink milk. Hereupon men and women knelt down, covered their faces, and retrained from cough to making any special form of making the throat. Such an action was punishable by death. Owing to the stringent rules for milkmen and milkmalds, their office was held for two days only at a time. Anything in Reason.

His first job was clerk in a grocery store, and one of his duties was to deliver parcels as well as wrap them.

So when Washburn was about six years old one of the neighbors remarked to him, "Washburn is a very funny name for a first name. How did they ever come to call you that?" Washburn apparently did so. "That was my mother's name and when she married pa, she had no more use for it. So they just wished it on me." **Embarrassing Questions.** Now when the mortality rate of grandmothers, etc., is about to reach its peak, one firm, a large employer of boys, and evidently with some feeling for motherhood has inaugurated an employment application blank which calls for full and detailed information regarding the health of their relatives—New York Evening Post.
