THINGS TO ACCOUNT. Said M. Briend, in pleading for the well being of his nation, to have peace in the world, there "must be a moral disamament." He was speaking of Germany in particular, but the same principle holds true with reference to lynching in the south, or anywhere else. The big question after all is said and done is this: Are the hearts of the people right? It must not be forgotten that the nine nations represented at the conference officially, may represent the present powers of the earth, but they do not represent, by many millions, th physical possibilities of all the world. Japan knows this, and China is not forgetting it. One of the Japanese visitors addressed a mass meeting of Colored Americans the other night at the Metropolitan Baptist church, colored, and he brought a message of great sifinificence to those who heard him.

Little Rock, Ark., Dec. 1.—According to information received Robert Hicks, colored, about twenty-five years old was lynched last Wednesday beside the public highway, four miles southeast of Lake Village, because of a note he wrote to a young white woman. According to the reports, Hicks went to the girl's home Wednesday and asked if she had received his note. Men waiting seized the Negro, took him about four miles away and riddled his body with bullets. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 1.—Mayor James L. Key has vetoed the ordinance passed by council last Monday forbidding the joint worship of whites and Negroes in Atlanta churches. The mayor's veto message declared the ordinance "will and does invade that which is a matter of conscience with a great many people" and would cause a great deal more trouble and irritation than it would allay." Manila, P. I., Dec. 1.—Philippine leaders are considering the advisability of placing before the armament conference the question of Philipine independence, hoping an agreement could be had among the powers to guarantee the islands territory integrity should independence be granted.

For Barbara, Bob was a good deal of a hero, though she would hardly have confessed it, even to herself. She attacked the dresser last of all, intending to take out of the drawers any odds and ends that might be in them and leave space for shirts, collars and other articles of masculine apparel.

Porto Rico, Dec. 1.—A demonstration of persons opposed to the Porto Rican administration of Governor E. Mont Reilly was broken up here by police reserves when the governor landed from the steamer Tanamou. Banners carried in the crowd referred to the governor as an "autoceral" to Porto Rico as "America's Ireland" and to the Reilly administration as "mongrel rule." A fire in the hold of the ship, extinguished during the voyage, was blamed on Porto Ricans by some of the ship's officers. TOO MUCH LIVING CAUSE H. C. L. Moose Heart, Ill., Dec. 1.—Too much living may have something to do with the high cost of living, Secretary of Labor Davis intimated here in making public bureau statistics showing that the average American eats more than a ton of food a year. "The exact amount," he said, "is 2,664 pounds per annum. In footing up the cost of living, there's one thing we've got to remember—we certainly don't stint ourselves." MODERN DAY MIRACLES (Told in Eight Sketches) By JOHN RAYMOND THE AGE OF CHEMISTRY Within the last few years the world has been electrified by the vast strides made in the field of science by the creative chemist. Indeed, within a generation the influence exerted upon the entire fabric of our civilization from within the laboratory has been so enormous that we are prepared at last to accept the oft-repeated statement that we have passed beyond the age of machinery and have entered into the more mysterious age of chemistry. agencies developed secretly in chemical laboratories. A We who are not chemists hear strange tales these days, no less strange because they are true, of rubies and amber, ornamented with burning silks, colors of every hue, and exotic perfumes—once the precious cargo of What this new era is to bring forth in the way of scientific discovery rests upon conjecture, but certainly, the miracles performed in the last half century have been sufficient to warrant almost any expectancy. desert caravans—produced from a substance as ordinary as coal tar. Truly, chemistry has descended into the depths of the earth and extracted the secret formula of nature. The modern researcher, by constant diligence and untiring effort, has performed the mysteries which kept the alchemist of other centuries groping in the dark and branded him as one allied with the devil himself. The researcher, in finding in coal tar, not only things of beauty, but remedies for most human ills, has outdreamed the alchemist by transforming a base substance into something far more precious than gold. America has heard that Germany's chemists saved her from an early disastrous defeat, both in the field and in the matter of obtaining supplies. Without the tremendous expansion of her plants for the production of nitrates and ammonia from the air by processes developed by her great chemists the war, without question, would have ended years before it did, as a result of the exhaustion of Germany's explosives, if not from the exhaustion of her food supplies because of the lack of fertilizer for her fields. So great, in fact, have been the accomplishments in the last few years that scientists now declare that a nation without applied chemistry will be "defenseless in war and laggards in peace." From this black, sticky mass he adorns M'lady with colors rivalling nature itself in their barbaric splendor. He distills perfumes that equal the jasmine and he makes terrifying gases that one day will make war unthinkable. Thousands of articles upon which we depend, from TNT to paving blocks, from attar of roses to fertilizer, and from illumination gas to royal purple, are derived from the same substance. Previouslyunheard of scientific feats have been reported from the laboratory, but because of necessity, they were performed so quietly they were robbed of their glamor and their trappings of romance while lesser achievements on the field of battle and in the council chambers of diplomats have been hailed by throngs. As recently as 1700 a man who dared to say that he could produce a ruby from a lump of coal would have been accused of practicing the black art and doubles would have ended his career at the stake. In three centuries we have gone far. To-day we accept these miracles but few of us know how the miracles are wrought. And yet there is no mystery. Those of us who have left the classroom and the study hall far behind find it difficult, lacking technical knowledge, to comprehend this swift transition from one era to another, an amazing period when the nations of the world are making serious plans to scrap their worthless armies and navies, depending for protection entirely upon the subtle but deadly A The succeeding sketches will show how the accidental discovery of an English boy at work in a laboratory in 1850 started the development of creative chemistry, and will tell how it is possible to produce a silk purse, a bottle of perfume, the colors of the rainbow, a variety of medicines, foodstuffs and poisons, all from the same material. Shut up! Think! Work Produce! PRICE FIVE CENTS MING ARTISTS IN RECITAL. Mrs. Florence Cole-Talbert, famous lyric soprano, and Clyde L. Glass, noted pianist and composer will appear in recital at St. Paul's A. M. E. church, Tuesday evening, Dec. 6, under the auspices of Aida court. All the colored fraternities of Des Moines are invited by Aida Court to assist in paying homage to these two great artists. They will be here in the interest of the Malecolm Griffith Memorial Fund to be used for the support and development of Negro talent, to assist with poverty in the public schools, and other philanthropic activities. Mrs. Cole-Talbert was winner of the diamond medal in 1916 at the Chicago university of music, and represented her class at the commencement exercises singing "Caro Nome" in Italian, accompanied by the Chicago Symphony orchestra. Clyde L. Glass is a graduate of the Boston Conservatory of music, and was formerly a Des Moines boy and is a favorite. The fraternities of the city in their regala will present a myriad of color and far eastern orientalism. They will open the evening with their hall songs. Mrs. Talbert and Mr. Glass have been invited to sing before other local organizations in the city during their short stay, and their coming is heralded as the greatest musical event of the season. The old ladies of the Protection Home have been especially invited as well as poor children who could not otherwise enjoy so splendid a treat: Aida Court in white dress and fex will act as ushers. Little Gloria Griffin will present the artists with flowers. The stage will be appropriately decorated with fraternity colors. Come out and help this worthy cause. The trustees of this fund will be the members of Aida Court and representatives from the various fraternities. NOTICE TO OUR ADVERTISERS AND SUBSCRIBERS.

The Des Moines branch of the National Association for the Advancement of colored people is planning a large program for the ensuing year. Attorney J. B. Morris, who was elected president recently reports that he is in touch with men of national reputation and expects to have the men to appear in Des Moines in the near future. A great work can be done by the Des Moines branch if the proper energy is put behind the movement. Other branches throughout the country are up and doing and this branch must come to the front and give the people of Des Moines something to think about. Since that summer, when he had saved Mrs. Halden's little savings and her home from the clutches of a grasping syndicate of real estate sharks, he had been like a son to the good woman. She had let him do very much as he pleased around the house, and had even hinted at his paying ne board, but Bob had insisted on giving her what he termed a ridiculously inadequate sum each month. When success brought him fame and fortune he had refused to take up other lodgings, claiming that he enjoyed the home cooking and the home associations of the little brown house near the edge of the town more than he could ever like the garish splendors of a hotel or the loneliness of bachelor apartments. The Bystander hopes that the people will co-operate with Attorney Morris and place Des Moines branch in the line of other active branches. THE LOWRY CAMPAIGN. The Negroes of Des Moines are a unit on nominating and electing Dr. W. H. Lowry as councilman. Never before has such enthusiasm been displayed in the interest of a candidate. Clubs are being formed and first-class literature is being send broadcast over the city at their own expense. Dr. Lowry has not been called upon to take the lead and worry about the financial end of the proposition. The people have come to the conclusion that this movement is of vital interest to them, therefore they are sparing no pains and energy to put this great movement over. Keep the good work up.

For the past two months he had been traveling in the West on a big railroad case. His sudden wire, received the day before Thanksgiving, had been the first appraisal of his return that Mrs. Halden had had. "Perhaps, if You Tell." that I can't. I won't pretend to know anything I don't know. "I wouldn't do that for anything." "I'm quite sure you wouldn't," said the first Red Berry. "I'm positive you wouldn't," said the second Red Berry. "I'm absolutely certain you wouldn't," said the third Red Berry. "Do tell me," said Peter Guome. "Shall I tell him?" asked the first Red Berry. "You tell him," said the second Red Berry. "Yes, you tell him," said the third Red Berry. "I'm ready to hear," said Peter Gnome. "Well," said the first Red Berry, "again and again we've heard this same speech or saying. Only today we heard it." "Only today," agreed the second Red Berry. "Only today," said the third Red Berry. "Some one was passing," continued the first Red Berry, "and this person was speaking to another person. I forgot to say that two people were passing, but only one of them was talking you see. "Well, the person who was talking spoke of her little girl and of how much the vacation had helped her. "She was really tired out," said the person, 'but now she looks so well and feels so well and eats so well. And she looks just as brown as a berry. Yes, she is tanned and healthy looking. "Just as brown as a berry she looks now." "What we cannot understand," said the first Red Berry, "is how a person can say that when berries aren't all brown by any manner of means. If she had only turned and looked at us she would have seen that we were quite, quite red." "She would most certainly have seen that," said the second Red Berry. "She most certainly would have seen that," repeated the third Red Berry. "It's just a saying," said Peter Gnome, "and I'm sure I don't know why people use that saying or expression so much. But one thing, Berries, of which you may be thankful, when they say any one looks as brown as a berry it means that that person looks very well and healthy, so it is a compliment if a strange one."

Gran'ma1 THE BYSTANDER, DES MOINES, IOWA torial IMPROVED SundaySchool Lesson (By REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago). Copyright, 1921, Western Newspaper Union. LESSON TEXT—Acts 23:1-1 GOLDEN TEXT—I am ready to preach the gospel to you that you are. Rome also, the city of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth— Rom. 1:16, 18. REFERENCE MATERIAL—Mark 16:18; Rom. 1:8-17. PRIMARY TOPIC—The End of Paul's Journey. JUNIOR TOPIC—The End of a Long journey. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC -Paul Living in Rome. -YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC -Paul's Ministry in Rome. 1. The Shipwrecked Crew on Melita (vv. 1-10). Through the storm they lost their bearings, and when they were safe on land they learned that the island was called Melita. 1. The hospitable reception of the natives (v. 2). They built a fire and made them as comfortable as possible from the cold and the rain. 2. Paul gathering sticks for a fire (v. 3). This is a fine picture of the world's greatest preacher and missionary not above picking up sticks for a fire. The ability and disposition to serve naturally in whatever way is the evidence of capacity for great commissions. 3. Paul bitten by a venomous serpent (v. 3). With the sticks that Paul gathered there was a serpent. Perhaps it had already curled itself up for its winter sleep, but when the warmth of the fire aroused it it darted at Paul and fixed its fangs upon his hand. The natives expected to see him fall down dead, yet he shook it off, nothing harmed. At first the natives concluded that he was an escaped murderer and that this was retributive justice being meted out to him. When they saw that he was unharmed they concluded that he was a god. 4. Paul heals Pubilus' father (vv. 7-10). These people are now getting some return for their kindness. When this man of note was healed others came also and were healed. To this they responded in appreciation by loading them down with necessary supplies. 11. Paul Arrives at Rome (vv. 11-16). When Paul landed at Rome Christ's charge to the disciples was fulfilled. After three months' stay at Melita, Paul departs for Rome in the ship Alexandria, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. At Syracuse they were delayed three days, perhaps for favorable winds. At Puteoli he found brethren, at whose request he tarried seven days. At Appilli-Forum and at the Three Taverns brethren from Rome met him. From Puteoli the news went before Paul's coming, and so interested were the brethren that they came more than forty miles to meet him. This greatly encouraged him, for which he gave God thanks. No one, perhaps, ever enjoyed more close fellowship with God, and yet no man ever enjoyed more and derived more benefit from human fellowship than he. His readiness to preach the gospel at Rome, which he had expressed in the Epistle to the Romans, written from Corinth about three years before, was now realized. He was treated with great lenency at Rome, for he was allowed to hire a house there and live alone except that the soldier that remained his guard was constantly with him. Being chained to a soldier was rather irksome, but yet it gave him a chance to preach to the soldiers which he could not have had any, other way. He rejoiced in whatever circumstances, just so the gospel was preached. III. Paul's Ministry in Rome (yy. 17-31). 1. His conference with the leading Jews (vv. 17-22). He did not, as usual, wait for the Sabbath day to speak to the Jews. He only allowed one day for rest. His object was to have a fair understanding with them. When they came he endeavored to conclinate them. He told them that, though he came as a prisoner, he was not a criminal. Though his own countrymen had so sought his life, he did not come with an accusation against them. The result of this interview was that the Jews cautiously took neutral ground, but expressed a desire to hear what Paul could say in defense of a sect which was everywhere spoken against. The fact that this sect was spoken against is no evidence that it was wrong. Many times a thing may be wrong in men's minds, because their judgments are blased. If a thing is right in the sight of God it matters not what men think about it. 2. Paul expounding the kingdom of God and persuading concerning Jesus (vv. 23-31). He pointed out a real kingdom—the Messianic Kingdom with Jesus as the King. If you want to live in this world, doing the duty of life, knowing the blessings of it, doing your work heartily, and yet not absorbed by it, remember that the one power whereby you can so act is, that all shall be consecrated to Christ. — Alexander Maclure.

Daddy's Evening Fairy Tale MARY GRAHAM BONNER COPYRIGHT BY WESTERN NEWSPaper UNION "For some reason or other," said the Tree, "part of my leaves are red. They've changed color much earlier than usual this season. XII "If the truth were known, and I see no reason why the truth should not always be known, I think those leaves got mixed up. They began to hurry too much. It is as bad sometimes to hurry too much as it is not to hurry enough. "So Bright." "These leaves hurried so fast they began to think they must be changing their color for the early fall season and then they found out that they were ahead of time and that they would have to wait for the other leaves to catch up to them. "They hurried too much, you see. They hurried too much!" "But the rest of the leaves didn't hurry like that. And so they are still green. You have been wondering, Star, why part of me was red while the other part was green. "I'm like a lady who wears a dark dress and a bright-red hat! That's what I think I am like, anyway." Now the tree stood upon a very high hill and a bright star up in the sky was talking to the tree. "You are so very bright, Star," said the Tree. "You are like a golden star." "Ah," said the Star, "I did well in my sky lessons. That is why I look so bright." "What do you mean, whatever in the world do you mean?" asked the Tree. "You must ask me whatever in the sky do I mean?" twinkled the Star. "Well, whatever in the sky do you mean?" asked the Tree. "I didn't know there were sky lessons," the Tree added. "Oh, yes," said the Star, "there are sky lessons, and those of us who are so very bright have done well in our lessons and so we look bright. "Creatures who do well in their lessons look bright, as a rule, you know. We've had lessons in brightness and I'm at the head of the sky class. There are some other very bright stars, you'll notice, and they have done well in their sky lessons, too." "I see," said the Tree. "I see." "There are many bright people," said the Star, "and I love to smile down upon them and tell them how much I admire them. "There is a dear little lady who is very bright and who knows all about flowers. It think it is very sensible too, to know a lot about flowers. "She speaks to every flower by name. Every rose she calls by its right name. And she knows the different flowers as they're growing up out of the ground from their seeds without having to look at the marking on the sticks to see which flowers are which! "She gives flowers to people who come to see her, and is so generous with her beloved posts. People call her Auntie Scott, but the flowers call her Dear Lady, and how they do love her."
