Kansas City Advocate

HEAR BISHOP N. C. CLEAVES, 11 A. M. SUNDAY, AT ST. PETERS C. M. E. CHURCH COL. MIDNIGHT SAYS EVERY HOSTELRY IN FRISCO IS OPEN TO ALL HUMANITY San Francisco, Cal., Oct. 18.—"He died serving his people," is what was said of Rev. Silas X Floyd, of Augusta, Ga., by the daily Chronicle, and it touched my heart, for I had known him for a number of years. He was principal of one of the largest public schools in Georgia—in fact, the whole school system of the state looked to him and he was perhaps one of the best known educators, preachers, authors, and newspaper writers in America. I did not know that he was so sick. A long time ago, or when I was on my way to the National Baptist convention, I heard that he was sick, but I did not realize that he was sick unto death. Yet one by one we are leaving this world. Now here was a man in the youth of his activities for the betterment of his people. He had made his way to the top, and was doing his best service, when death came for him, and he had but to close his hands and go on home to rest. To know Silas X. Floyd was to love him. He was a man of affairs, and when you went to Augusta, he was always ready to do anything in his power for you. All he wanted to know was what you wanted done and he. (Continued on Page 4.) There are more foreign-born whites in seventeen Southern states than there are colored people in all of the Southern states combined. Interested parties, both white and colored, are studying plans for the solution of housing problems which are confronting the colored people of Baltimore, Md. Pittsburgh, Pa., is destined to be the center of fraternal activities of colored people in 1924 with Elks, Odd Fellows and Shriners holding their respective conventions in the "Iron City." From the figures contained in the first financial report of the Prudential Bank of Washington, D. C., that institution is moving forward rapidly and successfully, with a steady stream of incoming deposits and other resources. While a $3,625,000 peanut case was in litigation in the Federal Court at Norfolk, Va., a Negro band, playing "Yes, We Have No Bananas," on the street, just below the court room, so completely drowned the voices of attorneys and witnesses that the presiding judge notified the bandsmen to select another location for the dispensation of their melodies. Mayor Joseph Cauffiel, of Johnstown, Pa., who recently "also ran" in the race for Mayorship for the coming term, is apparently determined to make hay while the sun shines. He recently fined an offender $50 for operating an automobile so carelessly as to cause a collision, while he ordered a colored automobile driver to leave town within 24 hours after, he had negligently backed an automobile into the curb. According to estimates published in the Washington Daily News, there are 5,000 people in the Nation's capital who are at present engaged in the unlawful sale of whiskey and other high-powered stimulants, which have become secretly popular since the advent of the prohibition amendment. No attempt was apparently to separate the components of this group into racial or sex divisions, which, it is readily admitted, are immaterial to a prospective customer. Watch the enrollment club to five hundred at the Sumner plant next. New students came this week in spite of the rain and pushed the total enrollment to three hundred sixty-seven. This is to be the record breaking year. Some departments are filled to the overflowing. The Spanish teacher says there is room for many more. The cooking and carpentry classes greatly increased their numbers this week. The class in Interior Decorating will begin next Monday. An artist will conduct this class. Whoever desires to become a better paper hanger or a better painter meet with us Monday night at 7:30 p. m., October 22. G. A. CURRY, Principal. BISHOP CLEAVES HERE SUNDAY Bishop N. C. Cleaves, the presiding bishop of this district of the C. M. E. church, will preach at the 11 o'clock service Sunday at St. Peters C. M. E. church, corner of Oakland avenue and Eighth street. The bishop is rated as one of the great pulpit preachers of his church and always has a crowded house whenever he appears here. He is loved by his church and has many friends in this city who always enjoy his sermons. LINK SYKES WEDS IN COUNTY JAIL Link Sykes, who was found guilty by a jury in Second Division District court, of manslaughter, charged with first degree murder of stabbing to death a street car conductor on the Fifth street line, over a transfer, about a year ago, was married Tuesday afternoon in the jail to Mrs. Hattie Sainders, 25 years old, of 408 Oakland avenue. Sykes is 28 years old and owns the house occupied by Mrs. Saunders. Rev. S. N. Jenkins of Argentine was the officiating minister. The attorney of Sykes has asked for a new trial. APPRECIATION To the Kansas City Advocate, Mr. Thomas Kennedy: Please allow me a little space in your paper to say something about "Old Folks Day," which was observed at our church Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, Sunday, October 14. 1923. While we say "Old Folks Day" we feel safe in saying that the young were also made happy. This was evidenced by their kindness, patience and the broad smiles upon their faces. We know that only kind hearts and willing hands would attempt such an occasion. Therefore we were happy and grateful. No pains were spared in making the affair all that could be hoped for. The text: "Once I was young, but now I am old," was beautifully brought to us by our pastor. We shall never forget it. God spoke to us through those beautiful and well selected songs, so feelingly sung by our wonderful choir. We were made to rejoice and we wish to say to those faithful ones that we believe the recording angels have full account of the work of "Old Folks Day" on file somewhere. The Daughters of Zion Club of Metropolitan Baptist church will meet at the residence of Sister Merritt's 913 Washington boulevard, this Friday evening, October 19th, at 8 p.m. Mrs. Merritt is the president of this club until her resignation is received by the club that elected her. All members are requested to attend, as there is business of importance to be transacted and full explanation given. Sister Merritt also desires to say that the ladies have been lovely to her and no disagreement on the part of its members of the club. DICE GAME SUNDAY RESULTS IN SHOOTING SCRAPE Deputy Sheriff Present and Arrests Gunman. Last Sunday at the corner of Oakland avenue and Third street, where a dice game was in progress, Oscar Chamberlain, 330 Walker avenue, was shot by Leroy Jones, 341 Oakland avenue, in a crap game. Chamberlain was taken to St. Margaret's hospital, whose case is said not to be serious. Deputy Sheriff Noah W. Bailey, being present, arrested Jones after the shooting, whose bond was fixed Monday morning by Judge H. S. Roberts, at $2,000, and continued until October 23. MEN AND MEASURES. Will you permit me to say through the columns of your paper, that the Rt. Rev. H. B. Parks, D. D., has just closed his sixth annual conference, in the Fifth Episcopal District, which places him in the lead of all others. And every annual conference in the district, without a single exception indorsed his administration and voted for his return to the grand old Fifth for another four years. While I did not have anything to do with the offering of the resolution, I am the property of my conference and brethren. I shall do my best to obey their orders. And why not? For the A. M. E. church or any other church has not produced a better man and none are' to be found that are truer to the trust that is given them than he. Those who may not agree with me will say that Bishop Parks is one of the squarest men in the church of race mankind, when it comes to dealing with monies of the church and conference. He stands in a class of the highest magnitude. He delights to see and have his men stand up and talk to him as they feel and think and he talks in the same spirit with them. Long may he live to bless the church, the race and mankind everywhere. Mr. Editor, please permit me to say to my brethren throughout the church that after serving on the Episcopal Committee for almost twenty years, voting for, and assisting my friends, that time, I am throwing my hat in the ring for the chairmanship of the Episcopal Committee and if you can cast your vote for me without doing your friend an injustice I shall appreciate it. I pledge you now, that I shall do my best to please my Father in heaven and my brethren in the General Conference. This is the only office in the church that I am seeking to fill and if it is the wishes of the members of the Episcopal to elect me to this office, I shall do my utmost to fill it with credit to my church and myself. The Fifth Episcopal District will come to the next General conference, which meets in Louisville, Ky., next May, a unit for one of her sons, for the bishopric and for some other things which she will speak about in the next few weeks. Drs. Wm. H. Thomas and Wm. H. Peck are candidates for the highest gifts in the church and both are strong young men and worthy of the confidence of the church. We do not know how many bishops will be elected next May, but we think the first two elected will be Drs. Reverdy C. Ransom and A. L. Gaines, who are not only able to fill the office with credit to the church, race and themselves, but they are entitled to be elected this time. The coming General conference should do one of two things. They should either repeal the time limit to our ministry, or enforce it upon all ministers alike, including our bishops, presiding elders and pastors. I don't believe it just and fair to make the pastor and presiding elder that the church and simple OLD FOLKS DAY MAKES HEARTS REJOICE Many Enjoyed the Hospitality of The Pastors' Aid Board. The annual gathering in of the old folks of the city, by the Pastors' Aid Board of First A. M. E. church, at the corner of Eighth street and Nebraska avenue, last Sunday, was one of usual joy and happiness to host and hostess. Automobiles started early bringing the sainted fathers and mothers to the church and by the time of the eleven o'clock service the front pews of the church, which had been reserved, were filled. The ushers and members of the Board carefully and tenderly assisted them to their seats, where they enjoyed the songs of Zion from the senior choir and a spiritual sermon by the pastor Rev. C. E. Brooks. Many hallelujahs went up from the hearts of these old people, who had "borne the burden in the heat of the day." Some came on their crutches, others, whose eyes were dimmed by years of age and service, showed a lightness of heart and rejoiced in the salvation of the Lord. After the benediction the congregation remained standing while all the old folks were escorted down to the dining room, where a fine chicken dinner had been prepared for them. After the repast they returned to the auditorium, where they give vent to their feeling in a praise meeting, led by Mrs. Pauline Woodfork and Mr. Thomas Nelson. Af 3 p. m. Rev. A. W. Davis, pastor of the Christian church and his choir, were present. After a number of spiritual gospel songs by this excellent choir, Rev. Mr. Davis delivered an inspiring sermon. Not only did the old folks enjoy it, but everyone present. These old fathers and mothers showed their appreciation to Mrs. Ida Lyons, president, and members of the Pastors' Aid Board for their hospitality and a day of feast and entertainment, with tears and God bless you. All were returned home safely, in automobiles. CARD OF THANKS. To my friends of Kansas City, Kansas, and Omaha, Nebraska.

"Blessed are they that Dwell in the House of the Lord" was the pastor's text. It was a masterly discourse and in some fine illustrations, placed two pictures before his hearers of the one loving his own home and attractions and the other dividing his love for other homes or places aside from his own home. God's house, your own church home, should have every attention first, said the pastor. It was greatly enjoyed by his attentive hearers and many hearts were made to feel glad. Three joined the church. It being old folks' day, many were present, when their souls were made to rejoice. At 3 p. m. Rev. A. M. Davis and his choir were present.

CHURCH NEWS It is apparent that there is a constant growth in the work and interest of the Sunday School. As a result of this rapid development, there will be promotion in the various classes next Sunday morning. The Superintendent, Mr. N. B.

In spite of the inclement weather a large audience greeted the assistant pastor, Rev.

Royalston, pastor first Baptist church, Lawrence, spoke to us from the subject "The Lord hath need of Thee." Everyone who heard this wonderful sermon was impressed with it. The speaker showed preparation and spiritual power in his delivery. Great interest is being shown in the cottage prayer meetings which are forerunners of our Ten Days' Meeting, which begin Sunday at 11 a.m. We are urging Christians and especially the unconverted to attend these meetings. The auxiliaries are hard at work. This week the Stewardess' Board are serving a luncheon at the residence of Sister Mills on Fourth street. Get your luncheon there. Come to the C. E. League Sunday at 6 P. B., and Prayer and Class Meeting every Wednesday at 8 P. M. Our doors are always opened to visiting friends.

Our Sunday school workers were busy on their task of getting something out of the lesson. While there were only a faithful few they had a lively recital in which many were benefitted. The prayer services were spiritual and many cashing in spiritual fuel for the morning feast. Our morning sermon was preached by Rev. Hill, text 1 Thes. 5:23: "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly, and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ." Subject: "Baptists' Position on Sanctification." He made great stress on Baptists' beliefs on sanctification, its beginning and growth to perfection. He explained plainly that sanctification is no new thing to a regenerated, true Baptist, as it begins in regeneration and grows on to perfection. All felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in the meeting during his discourse. At night Rev. J. E. Hill preached us another great sermon from text Gen. 5:24, "And Enoch walked with God and he was not for God took him." Subject, "Christian walk with God." He made great stress on Christians walking with God and what is meant by "walking with God." All felt the presence of the Holy Spirit in our services. We were proud that the Convention sent us Rev. Hill and we certainly enjoyed his two great sermons preached for us. Three additions to the church. Total contributions $54.45. Mt. Olive church has certainly made a great improvement under the leadership of our good pastor. All the efforts he prayerfully puts forth for our good meets with success. The Great Spirit has always guided them for our good over all opposition. He is patient, and only waits with a faithful smile for opposition and differences to fade away. We pray or him for we know that God guides him. His wife Mrs. E. M. Mosley is at the head of the Mission Circle. She is also a great leader for that department, and it has made rapid improvement under her management for the good of our chiuch. She, like husband, does not get alarmed at opposition and differences but puts her trust in God and marches on until opposition fades. We have other great workers in the Mission field who have done great work to help Mt. Olive church. They are: Sister Ida Wilson, who did great missionary work to help pull us over our great strain. Sister iHll who also did excellent work to help pull the church out of its strain. Sister Thomas who did great missionary work to help the church out of indebtedness and many others who labored to assist us when pulling over our strain of indebtedness.

(First published October 19, 1923) CAUGHT IN PASSING Rumor is always a poor reasoner. Militarism is only pretty in pictures. Vice is always punished—on the stage. A good loafer is usually a good talker. Everyone defines "vulgar" differently. Most of the compromises are surrenders. Rank has its bores as well as pleasures. A woman's favorite word is always the last one. Poets are diffident and sensitive. Don't be harsh. It is easier to look prosperous if one's clothes fit. Ignorance is not so much bliss as forgetfulness is. Dreamers won't work; so they'd better entertain. Average man is a myth. No man believes he's that. Kindness doesn't consist in too much personal presence. Ever meet him? Let poets sing their little song And gaily sate the lyre; Give me the man who whistles while He's putting on a tire.

ADVANCE IN TREE SURGERY Millions of Dollars Being Spent Annually to Salvage Things Tree surgery, as it is practiced today, is less than a quarter of a century old. It was, naturally, crude in its beginnings, and the past ten years have been the era of its greatest development. It may be said that this development has closely paralleled that of the automobile. In both cases the original principle was sound, but it has taken a good many years to bring about the refinements which constitute the efficient gas-driven car and perfected tree surgery of the present day. Among Americans no line of commercial or professional endeavor can be expected to thrive or even endure for long unless it has a sound economic justification, says E. A. Quarles. We are a practical people and things impractical make a very limited appeal. American home owners spend yearly not less than $5,000,000 in the care of their trees, exclusive of work done on them by labor in their own employ. Ten years ago it is doubtful if half that sum was spent. These figures speak forcefully in confirming the acceptance of tree surgery as an important and practical application of science to the preservation of a useful material possession of mankind. Shade trees about the home have both an aesthetic and economic value. With many the first-named would justify any reasonable care for their preservation. Louis Fuertes, the noted painter of birds, said in a recent address that he, for one, was tired of hearing people appealed to for the protection of birds because of their economic value, great as this is. Those of us whose lives are spent with the trees and whose daily endeavors have to do with their preservation sometimes have the same feeling if we must be brutally frank. "Only God can make a tree," in the words of Joyce Killner's immortal verse. Do not its majesty, grace, beauty and the suggestion it gives of a link between man and the Creator furnish all the urge that is necessary to give our trees the care they deserve? Short of man himself, few creations of the Almighty so completely fill the eye and satisfy the aesthetic sense as do the trees. In practically all landscaping of any scope trees are the dominating motif. Certainly they deserve better care from man than they receive—Arts and Decorations. --- New Cadmium-Gallium Lamp. The production of light sources from which pure monochromatic light of various wave lengths and great intensity may be obtained is from a practical viewpoint of great importance in the field of optics. During the past month, the bureau of standards has constructed an enclosed quarts vacuum lamp using an alloy of gallium and zinc, similar in many respects to the cadmium-gallium lamp previously designed. The design of the new lamp has been so perfected that the lamp operates quite satisfactorily with very little flickering, giving several intense lines, one red and several blue and green. Preliminary experiments have been made in connection with the production of a thallium lamp, but the results so far have not been entirely satisfactory owing to the high temperature at which it is necessary to run the lamp to prevent the thallium from depositing on the walls of the light space, thus covering up the arc. Scientific-American. - Honor Among Chinese. It appears that there is a very high sense of honor among Chinese, writes Henry Croshy Emery, LL. D. So is there among the merchants of America, England, Germany and other countries. Again the differences between individuals are infinitely greater than those between nations. To all this must be added that, since China is an older country; her merchants developed a sense of honor long before western countries. At a time when European commerce was half trade and half piracy; China had developed this high commercial morality. It is probably the half-buccaneering traders who first brought news of this strange and honorable custom to lands who as yet knew it not. Today, Chinese commercial honor and English or American commercial honor differ little except that China had developed it centuries before it was adopted in foreign lands—Harper's Magazine. Criminals Use Tear Gas. Equipment of a first-class criminal now includes a gas mask and a supply of tear gas, the War department indicates in a report showing that the crooks have not been far behind the police in adapting this war material to the pursuit of "peace." An example is quoted of a bootleger who carried tear gas in his rum-laden car and when pursued loosed it through the exhaust, pipe. Pursuit ended immediately. Because the criminal has become a customer of the gas mask manufacturers, many police departments are now considering the use of other than tear gas—something that the ordinary mask will not stop. Such a gas would be far more dangerous and equally as effective. Natural Surmise She—What is his hobby? He—Antiquity. She—Is that one of them with him? —London Answera NEW AREA IN FLYING NEAR Inexpensive Transportation. Fore- shadowed by Remarkable Success. Attained by Motor Gilders. A new era in air flying, that of cheap, safe, popular airplaning, is foreashadowed by the remarkable suc- cess attained by tiny British airplanes called motor gilders. One of these, a small monoplane fitted with a three- horse power engine, recently reached a speed of 53 miles an hour during tests near London. It climbed to 2,350 feet, and, although in the air for an hour and 20 minutes, consumed less than a gallon of gasoline. French aviation experts also are perfecting similar "pocket-planes," intended for use by amateur aviators and sporting enthusiasts. In England a small "car with wings," capable of carrying its owner through the air at the speed of an express train with no more power than is required by a motorcycle, has reached such a practical stage that orders are being booked for it by the public. Rising out of small fields and being wonderfully controllable in the alr, these cheaply-run winged cars are to be made to alight so slowly that the risk of a crash on landing, even under adverse circumstances, will be practically eliminated. Furthermore, such machines will be so handy on the ground, and their wings will fold so neatly, that it will be possible to house them in ordinary motor garages. It is expected that the owner of one of these machines will be able to make the trip from London to Paris and back, sweeping high over the channel and escaping all the irritations and delays of earth transport, for about $5. A movement is now on foot to get motor-garage proprietors to set aside smooth-surfaced fields, marked clearly so they can be seen from above. In this way the drivers of little "air cars," when on week-end serial rambles, will have points all over the country where they can descend and replenish their gasoline tanks, or make any necessary repairs or adjustments. Must Guard Our Pheasants The shots and shells of the World war are even now damaging the game birds of America, indirectly but none the less vitally. Lee S. Crandall, curator of birds of the New York Zoological park, in a report to the American Game Protective association warns that unless the few fortunate possessors of avlary pheasants cherish and increase, them during the coming breeding season all species are in danger of becoming, virtually extinct. The-industry of collecting and distributing wild birds and animals has been badly demoralized by the war and American breeders can no longer depend upon European importations for supply, he explained. The seed stock of many kinds of game birds and waterfowl has become dangerously reduced and even if it is possible to obtain fresh stock, the newly-imported, wild-caught birds often-breed with great reluctance and years must pass before a prolific breeding strain can be developed from them. Center of Goldfish Industry. What makes Philadelphia the center for breeding those rare and wonderful fish one sees in an aquarium? Experts tell me it is the center and regularly produces the largest crop of goldfish of unusual types and other strange kinds of what I may call toy fish. You will find the reason for this odd industry in those desplied ditches which crisscross the Neck. It seems that even a parlor fish thrives best on its natural food. Fish culturists know that and so they go down to the. Neck and scoop up from these stagnant water-holes and trenches the larvae which to a fish are as beefsteak and baked potatoes to an athlete. I have it from a sea captain who has been everywhere that here he finds, the largest variety and best specimens of those fish which are meant to please the eye, but not appease the stomach.—Philadelphia Inquirer. To Hunt Fossile in Patagonia. A five-year hunt for fossils of extinct species of mammals which appeared ages ago, will be begun soon when Prof. Elmer S. Riggs, associate curator of paleontology, of the Field Museum of Natural History, of Chicago, and three assistants will sail for Buenos Aires on the first leg of their expedition. After exploring the Argentine pampas, the party will strike southward along the Atlantic coast as far as the Straits of Magellan. In places, the work will be along beaches where the ledges are accessible only a few hours each day. In the extremity of Patagonia, a land of strange legends and folk-story, the party will search for fossil remains of unique and much more ancient animals, which existed in South America in the ages when it was almost as widely separated from North America as Australia is now separated from Asia. This isolation accounts for strange fossils. Unique Councillor. Jujuy, a place of considerable importance in Argentina, presents to the world of edifying spectacle of a city councilor who cannot address his brother members or understand what they say. The member in question speaks only Arabic. An Arab by birth, and of such short residence in Argentina that he speaks no Spanish, he has nevertheless, been elected to the city council by his admiring fellow-citizens. ```markdown ``` During the Discussion.

ORIGIN OF GOLD NUGGETS United States Geologist Says Finding of Huge Pebbles Does Not Indicate Large Vein. In a rugged, out-of-the-way region on the ocean side of the Coast ranges, in Monterey county, California, gold nuggets have been found of such size as to suggest that this was once a favorite retreat of the proverbial goose that laid the golden eggs. Matter-of-fact prospectors, however, have sought to find the veins from which such masses of gold, loosened by the weather, were washed into the stream beds. Their search has not been successful, and J. M. Hill, a United States geologist of the Department of the Interior, in a report just published, suggests that the nuggets came from rich superficial pockets in very small veins, and that no large and rich deposits are likely to be found by deep mining. The Coast ranges of California, unlike the Sierra Nevada, are not rich in gold, and the occurrence of these large nuggets does not necessarily indicate the existence of a rich deposit of gold ore. OLD CUSTOMS SEEM CURIOUS Common Plates and Cups Were Once Shared—Fought for the Biggest Share. Noble families in England in the Middle Ages shared common plates and cups, used fingers instead of forks, licked their plates, wiped their teeth on the tablecloth, and scrambled, for the largest portion, says the Detroit News. Books on etiquette issued in the Fifteenth century pointed out that these things were not good manners. The art of cooking in the Middle Ages flourished, however, cooks excelling at artistic and rich confectionery. Dancing in medieval times was true to its name. Dancers really moved with nimbleness and agility instead of slowly posturing round the room in the manner of modern dancers. The noble and his family and servants lived and slept in the great hall of the castle, with next to no privacy. A better state of things evolved gradually, more rooms being added and more windows put in, insuring greater seclusion for the lord and his family. Mrs. Carter dropped in at the office for a few minutes' chat with her husband. "John," she remarked. "I think you had better discharge that stenographer you have now. I am sure she has been trying to flirt with you ever since she has been here." Mrs. Carter, when she said this, thought the stenographer was safely out of hearing—but she wasn't! She stepped to the door of the private office and vented her indignation: "Madame, I have you know that I wouldn't flirt with your old husband for a million dollars!" Mrs. Carter was aghast. "Now, John," she exclaimed, "you simply must discharge that girl! She has insulted you!"—Kansas City Star. Acts to Save Animals' Teeth. The Royal Zoological society which runs the "zoo" in Regents' park has a new curator and one of the first things he did when he assumed office was to put the apes on a diet of hardtack so as to save their teeth, which were becoming loosened on a diet of bananas, potatoes, oranges and bread. The trouble seemed to be a loosening of the teeth like pyorrhea. The unwilling boarders at the zoo take to the hardtack and seem to prefer it to the soft food. With Poker Chips.

He made friends for his people among other people, and he was regarded as authority. He was my personal friend and all I can say now is, it is just one more gone over to welcome me when I shall pass into the Great Beyond. One more familiar face I shall see there. Speaking of Prof. Floyd; I am reminded that another friend has gone over, Frank B. Warring of Chicago. I have known him for a number of years and had the pleasure of seeing him at the Supreme Lodge in New York. He was not well, but I did not even dream that it would be the last time I would see him on earth. Just imagine the feeling of one in a hospital, having been confined to bed for over two weeks, not allowed to get out of bed, and far from home, must feel, yet if it should fall my lot to leave from here, I have many friends who have gone ahead of me over there. This is a great big country out here and there are many people in it. Education is opened to all the people, all the hospitals are opened, the hotels, restaurants—in fact you can spend all the money you can get your hands on, and here and there you will find some of our people doing well. I have some of them in mind now. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Lottie P. Razdell, who is a scientific when it comes to the treatment of scalp or dressing hair, she does manicuring and massaging. You will know what this is, but she has just placed on the market something for the hair, it is called "The Razdell Independent System," and they tell me it is fine. She will take her place with Mme. C. J. Walker in doing good. She has many friends way out here. She comes from Waco, Texas, and you have heard of this place I am sure. She is a widow. Her place of business is over 1412 Tenth street, Oakland Cal. Speaking of Oakland this is where my people are doing the businesss and this is where they are in large numbers. Big churches and preachers to fit in the churches. There is one woman who has impressed me very much, for she is the woman who would have the finishing touch on me in case I should leave, and it is Mrs. Gladys Baker. She is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Wilderson, of New Orleans, and the wife of Charles Baker of the undertaking firm of Baker-Taylor. Perhaps you want to know why I mention her?. She is one of the most remarkable women of the age. She is a graduate from the New Orleans university, and then she married, and just whether she went to school to learn this thing you call embalming before she married or afterwards, I do not know, and then it is none of your business and none of mine. But she is at the head of her class. Sometime ago the baby of a Portuguese woman quit this earth, and the undertaker was sent for and the infant placed in the basket carried to the establishment to be prepared to be planted in the earth. On the slab the child was placed, and the skilled hand of Mrs. Baker was placed on the child. She at once detected a faint glow of life. She placed a wet sponge upon the breast just over the child's heart. She sensed rather than felt, that the delicate human mechanism had not entirely stopped. She then laid her hand over the heart and detected a slight flutter. She seized the child and began applying artificial respiration, holding the baby near the fire as she worked over it. It was not long before the waxen hue was replaced by a flush in the baby's cheeks. The child's eyes opened, and the arms moved, it's legs and then a cry, and soon Mrs. Baker had the child in her arms rushing back to the mother. Now you will agree that she is a wonderful woman. God give us more such women. I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Baker—in fact I have been in their home, and had my little feet under their table. I will have to talk about this some other time when I have more space. I would like to pay my respects to some of the preachers. I have discovered a diamond in the African Methodist Episcopal Zion church, although his church may not have discovered him yet. It is the Rev. W. R. Lovell, pastor of Cooper A. M. E. Zion church, Oakland. He is a power and a scholar and he is doing a great work out here on the Coast. He came into the world via Pilot Mountain, North Carolina, but just how many years ago, I do not know, nor do I care, for that was the business of his parents and not mine. He got some of his foundation education in the public school in and about that place, and then he went to Columbus, while living with his uncle, he took on some more, and then he went to Bennett college, Greensboro, N. C., where he got finishing touches, and went into the pastorate in the A. M. E. Zion church. He has been working in North Carolina about 9 years and about a year ago he came to this place from Asheville, N. C. Bishop Kyles discovered him and placed him where he could be of a greater service. He was accompanied by his wife, who has been by his side just about sixteen years, or will be next July. She was Miss Minnie H. Gilmer of Mt. Airy, N. C. who came from the little red school house on the hill. Slater school at Winston-Salem, and then to Bennett college, where she got her finishing touch and no doubt there is where the love knot was tied. They are here working side by side. I shall have more to say about them in another letter, but I will give you this much, and put it down that I told you that he is going to be one of the bishops in his church at a short time. We are making wonderful progress and making some real men and women. Pray for the whole race. This is conference and convention season in some parts of our country. I see they have been having a lively time in Chicago and the Rev. Dr. Harvey has withdrawn from the African Methodist Episcopal church in Chicago, and now there is another independent church. He has been recognized by the Rev. Dr. W. D. Cook, and if this kind of thing keeps up there will be enough to come together and elect a bishop and spread. Dr. Harvey's friends have said somethings about Bishop A. J. Carey that are not in Sunday School literature, and I would not use them in my letter, and you know they must be things. I wonder what the trouble is? Is there anything wrong with Bishop Carey. Does he do all the things the people say about him? I would like to know, for I was for him to be a bishop and I am asking have I made a big mistake. I want to know about this before I have anything to say about it. There are many men aspiring for the bishopric, and some of them will land and some will come within and then pass on without the real sight. Dr. C. W. Abington is on the slate for missionary secretary, and Dr. J. C. Caldwell for the Allen Christian Endeavor League. Dr. Abington has made missions a special study, and he is well prepared for the position, and J. would like to see him land. One more time I would call attention of the Baptists to the call from Dr. A. M. Townsend. Fifty thousand dollars must be on land by November 1. If the Baptists mean business now is the time to show it. They have the money and the men, and now let them act. Tell your readers that I am not well, but have improved some. I am getting better. J.

"You said years ago that lightning rods were useless." The Science has been mighty busy since then. If they kill prove that the old law of gravitation isn't worldly any more, there's no infallible way to prove it a new kind of solidarity. The treasures of a pharaoh's daughter were dressed with combs of wood, papyrus, Proof. B. J. Record of Yale university, who recently made a study of the different kinds of woods used by the ancient Egyptians. These combs were made of hawwood, which was much used for carving by the early Egyptians, and they were not greatly dissimilar to those of the combs which adorn the women of the Twentleth century. "As one wooden object after another from the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen has been described and pictured in the public press, many questions have arisen." writes Mr. Record. "What kinds of woods are there? Whence did they come? What preservatives have kept them sound for thousands, of years? How can these woods be identified today?" Professor Record's studies included the woods representative of the period from 2900 B. C. to 1200 B. C. Wood played an important part in the lives of these Egyptians and it had to be hauled very long distances. Cedar he found to be one of their most prized woods, the most famous species being the cedar of Lebanon, which is no myth, as some are inclined to believe. The Egyptians used cedar extensively for coffins, boxes, large effigies and for such general purposes as we use white pine. They also used cypress, another wood of great durability. The gopher wood used in making the Ark of the Covenant was probably cypress, according to Professor Record. The yew, a tree noted for its durability as the cedar and the cypress, was used by the Egyptians in the making of bowls, carvings and small implements. Sycamore was used for mummy cases, but the sycamore of the alcidents was a fig, an evergreen timber tree sometimes called a fig mulberry. These species were employed where large sizes were demanded, while in the manufacture of smaller articles the Egyptians used such local growth as was available, which apparently was limited to tamarisk, alder and other minor species. The Egyptians were skilled woodworkers, cabinet makers and wood carvers. Wood veneering is not an ultra-modern accomplishment, but it is in fact a practice of venerable antiquity. It was developed by the Egyptians several thousand years before the birth of Christ. Professor Record found an admirable example of this craftsmanship in the colina of the monarch Nephthyo from Meir, displayed in the Ninth Egyptian room of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. That these woods used by the Egyptians have endured the centuries, Professor Record attributes to the dry climate of Egypt and hot to any preservatives employed. Professor Record identified the different woods by subjecting them to intensive study under the microscope and comparing their cell structure with that of the species as found growing today. American Forestry Magazine. Acrobat Empty Continent Two explorers, seventy-year-old twins, by the bye, have just crossed Australia from south coast to north coast and back, covering nearly 6,000 miles in 67 days with three motor cars. The explorers passed through vast stretches of country without sight of man or beast, an experience. Captain White considers, which most strikingly justifies the late Lord Northdiffe's lament, over the folly and manace of the "Empty Continent." Mr. McCallum, one of the two brothers, says he was amazed at the abundance of fertile country through which they passed in the interior, and mentions one plain, 150 miles long and extending east and west as far as the eye can see, consisting of splendid alluvial soil. They passed through superb-pastoral areas with many rivers available for huge irrigation schemes, but the development of of these lands would be absolutely dependent upon the building of a direct north-south transcontinental line. The Fond Parent. The boy who had scratched his name on the paint of the stationary motorcar had been soundly cuffed by the owner. Attracted by the loud howling which resulted, a crowd soon gathered, through which the father of the boy pushed his way. "Who struck my son?" he demanded "ourously." "Show me the mah!" I did, he said. "Served him right, sir," said the man, touching his cap. "Till give him another hiding when I get him home." Seat of Emotion. Indeed. SEAT of emotion.
