KANSAS Vol. X J. O. PAYS TRIBUTE TO ONE OF CHICAGO'S PHYSICIANS J. O. PAYS TRIBUTE TO ONE OF CHICAGO'S PHYSICIANS Attended Grand Lodge at Manhattan Chicago, Illinois, August 7.—God never put a tear upon a human face or breathed a sigh into a human heart, yet we are called upon at times to both sigh and shed tears, and especially is this true when death steps into our homes and claims a shining mark. Perhaps the dearest and best friend we have on earth. Now and then we must pause and pay tribute to some great man who has left this world, and often they go away and leave no address, hence we do not know where to reach them in the world to come. I am called upon this week to pause and pay tribute to one of Chicago's best physicians and surgeons, Dr. Charles Dabney Trice, formerly of Marlin, Texas, but has been in this city for a few years and from here took his flight to heaven. It is but one more gone ahead to welcome the dear one who will follow him. It brings the Great Beyond just a little closer to us. He reached his goal in the medical profession and just in the prime of life he left here. Dr. Trice was born in Clifton Forge, Virginia, where he got his foundation for an education. After graduating from the Union University of Richmond, Virginia, he took up medicine in Howard University, graduating from there, being a honor member of his class, he found his way to Marlin, Texas, where he took up the practice. About thirty years ago, Dr. Trice found his wife in Marlin, and they have been walking side by side ever since. Unto this union came a son, who is now following in the footsteps of his father. It is Dr. Jesse S. Trice. He was a christian, living up to the principles and practice of religion. He was a member of Olivet Baptist church—in fact he was a preacher in that church, completed his Bible training in the Mood Bible Institute, in Chicago. He came to Chicago in 1903 and I am told that he became a christian when 12 years old. He followed in the footsteps of the Master, the Great Physician. He ministered to the broken bodies, to the suffering and at the same time to the tortured souls of humanity. His greatest happiness was to treat the ailments of some poor person who was not able to even buy medicine. Out of this he got real happiness and joy. But Dr. Trice has left us. He has gone to join others who left before him, and I commend his widow, his son, his three sisters, and all other relatives and friends to God who gave us all to the world. Have you been good since I wrote to you last? I have been living close to the throne, and I am real happy today. I had a big time in Kansas and Missouri, and here I am today in Chicago. If you remember I have been to the Grand Lodge of Knights of Pythias and the Grand Court of Calanthe of the same state. I am here to tell you that my people made a big impression on all the citizens of Manhattan, Kansas, and they said the most helpful things. I listened at the great words of wisdom coming from Dr. S. H. Thompson and Mrs. Norene Davis, the two heads of the Grands, and then I heard General Thomas Kennedy, who is at the head of the Uniform Rank, and a military genius. He is a man among men, and a man who is devoting his time to his people. Permit me to say to you that the military men made an impression. They carried with them the sword of defense, ever ready to raise it for the protection of Old Glory, and life and property. They are men of peace—but they were not all men, for there were two companies of women, and they certainly did "strut Miss Lizzie strut." They were also in camp, and enjoyed life. When it was all over, I got with the crowd and made it to Kansas City, Mo., where I was the guest at the home of Rev. Dr. Edward Wittenberg, pastor of Allen A. M. E. chapel, and who is to be one of the bishops of the A. M. E. church. I had an enjoyable time there. I should have been the guest of - SUBSCRIPTION PRICE - TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 Dr. S. W. Bacote, but I have told you about him before. I had the pleasure of being in the Second Baptist church Sunday morning, and from there I went away feeling good, having heard the word of God preached, and I took some part in it. It was a pleasure to be there. Sunday afternoon William Wittenberg, the son of his father, got together their fine automobile car carriage and toted me over to Kansas City, Kansas, where I had been invited by Mrs. Norene Davis, to spend the afternoon. Honey put it down that I told you that Mrs. Davis had one more house full of women. They were there from Arizona, and then Mrs. Millie Drumgound from Arkansas City, Kansas. There I was in that big house of women. Mrs. Davis had a big chicken dinner and I got on the outside of some of it, believe me. I had a nice chat with Mrs. Stewart, from out yonder, and then with Mrs. Johnson, from out yonder, and then with all the others. I talked with that wonderful poet and musician, Tilford Davis, who made the response to the mayor of Manhattan, and who is a mail toter in the service of the United States. The Rev. Dr. Charles E. Brooks, pastor of the First African Methodist Episcopal church, got together his automobile car carriage and came after me in time for evening services. I had the pleasure of talking for his people. He is a wonderful pastor, and has inaugurated a system. There is no long begging there for money. They know their duty there and proceed to do it. He has in the parsonage an ideal wife, and his daughter who is well educated is at home. She has been teaching in New Orleans. She is a fine teacher. In the congregation was Editor Thomas Kennedy, who is before the people for state auditor. He is a christian editor. Monday they had the funeral of one of the pioneers of Allen chapel, George Teeters. He was at the last general conference, but is with us no more. He was a member of the church for about 50 years, and was connected with one of the leading banks of the city for forty years, and the president was there to pay a tribute to him. Monday afternoon Mrs. Rosa Gipson, president of the State B. Y. P. U. came in to see me, or to tote me out to her home. She was in her automobile car carriage, and I accepted the invitation and went with her to Pleasant Hill, where I was received by her husband and daughters, and had a big chicken eat, and when it was all over and time to leave, Mr. Gipson toted me in the automobile car carriage to the stable to get the iron horse for St. Louis. He is the leading plumber of Pleasant Hill, a town about 30 miles from Kansas City. He is one more busy man. They have a lovely home. St. Louis was reached, but the automobile car carriage was not there to meet me. I got in touch with Poro college, and soon that fine one they call Pierce Arrow was there to tote me to the college, where I found Bishop W. Sampson Brooks awaiting my arrival, and soon he was out for a ride. Things move along at Poro like clockwork. Everybody is attending to his part, and there was just one little busy still man, never having much to say, but he is there just the same. He is E. E. McDaniel, who is looking after things, and I am here to tell you that he is a well trained business man. President Aaron E. Malone and Mrs. Annie M. Malone were away on their vacation, but you did not know the difference. They have a well-organized business, and have scoured the country over to get the best trained men and women, honest, true and loyal. They pay them well and they stick to their post. The Malones have put the world to thinking. They have inspired so many people to have some kind of system, and they are struggling to be like Mrs. Malone. She is always ready to give a word of encouragement to those who mean to do things. Mr. Malone is on the committee to notify President Coolidge of the action of the National Convention held last June in Cleveland. He will be there. They are getting things in apple pie order in Chicago for the National Negro business League. Are you going to be here? I am. Already I have secured my stopping place. It seems that the Rev. Dr. J. E. Woods of Danville, Ky., who went to Virginia, has had sent out through (Continued on page 4.) Kansas City, Kansas, Kansas City, Kansas, August 8, 1924 Fraternally yours, J. A. BROADNAX, (Seal) G.

The editor is in receipt of a letter from Bishop W. T. Vernon at Hamilton, Bermuda, which will be of very great interest to Advocate readers. He writes as follows: Dear Brother Kennedy: A two-days' sail from New York brought us to this beautiful island. It is truly picturesque. I have seen beauty spots in America, Europe, Madeira Island and Africa. This place has beauty all its own. We are enjoying our stay though it is hot at this season. We have been visiting our mission points every night and three times Sundays. Mrs. Vernon is working and holding group meetings with the women. Our church has great possibilities here. Conference next week—outlook good. The colored people here are American Negroes in appearance, thought and language. Much culture is here. Their ancestors were slaves from Virginia and North Carolina. Naturally some West Indians are here. We are due in New York August 14th enroute to Nova Scotia. CITY BRIEF'S AND IN SOCIETY. Miss Buelah Douglass, who has been teaching in Oklahoma, is in the city visiting her mother. Mrs. M. C. Dove, of Oklahoma, had a pleasant visit at Mrs. Jno. Gerren's on Walker.

Mrs. Myrtle Young gave a nice pageant at the Kaw Valley Convention Thursday night. Mrs. Towers gave a Children's Playet one afternoon at the Sunday School convention. Mrs. Jones of Eighth Street Baptist church, recited a nice welcome address the opening of the convention. The choirs sang well, but some sang a little too loud. Rev. Ross, state missionary, is doing fine work. Hrs. H. D. Kemp's contest raised $600. She does good church work. Among the many visitors present at the Baptist Convention were: Mrs. Emma Gaines, Miss M.

THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER THE KAW VALLEY BAPTIST DIS TRICT ASSOCIATION AT 8TH STREET TABERNACLE. A large crowd attended the Twentieth annual convention of the Baptist Kaw Valley meeting at Eighth Street Baptist church. Moderator Young of Topeka called them to order Friday morning. There were eight or more churches from Topeka responded, also churches from Leavenworth, Lawrence, Topeka, Bonner Springs and other places, sent delegates. Friday morning Rev. G. McNeal preached the introductory sermon. Friday night Moderator Young gave a wonderful and inspiring annual address. Saturday morning Dr. H. B. Bronson gave a wonderful illustrated sermon on "Sanctification and Baptism." Also conducted Bible school to prove the truth of his sermon. Sunday at 3 p. m. the women of the state held a mass meeting and Mrs. F. B. Watson, the great missionary from West Africa was the principal speaker; also Samuel Stubblefield, a native African boy, spoke, and Rev. Cartright and others spoke. Sunday night Dr. G. N. Jackson of Lawrence preached a good sermon. Every night Eighth Street Baptist church was crowded at this convention. The Prose, Prologue and Mission Poem, composed by Mrs. M. C. Matthews, by motion of Rev. G. N. Jackson, was ordered printed in the minutes. Rev. McNeal, also, told her she was appointed as poet at Des Moines, Iowa for the Western States convention. First Baptist church of Kansas City, Kansas, gave $75 to the convention, Pleasant Green $50 and some churches of Topeka $50. Metropolitan, we suppose, only gave a part of her pro rata. The Women's State Mission gave over $100 and Shiloh, Topeka, $50. The total for the women was over $600. The total for the whole Association was up in the thousands. All officers were re-elected except one. Adjourned in christian fellowship to meet at Walnut Boulevard church in 1925. No "Artificial Silk" What is widely known as "artificial silk" is not artificial silk at all in the eyes of the National Retail Dry Goods association, and an effort is being made to find a scientific name for this synthetic product which is a silk substitute. For a time the term "glos" was adopted and it seemed as if the name would take hold, but it has failed to register properly. The new synthetic product has no more relation to silk than it has to wool or cotton, and for this reason a scientific trade name is sought. Quality O. K. When three years old, Carl, whose sisters were named Mabel, Josephine and Rena, was sent to visit an aunt. Soon after his arrival, the aunt noticed the bright gingham blouse he was wearing and said to him: "Why, Carl, what a pretty new blouse you have!" "No, it ain't new, neither," answered Carl. "Mabel wore it, Josie wore it, Ennie wore it and now I'm wearin' it." Number 51 K. OF P. GRAND LODGE HAVE ANNUAL STATE ENCAMPMENT K. OF P.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. JUDGE JOHN T. SIMS. In the passing of Judge John T. Sims the community has lost the services of a very efficient and equally popular citizen and public servant. Judge Sims was a lawyer of many years experience, and had been honored with election to office several times. His first election was to the position of Justice of the Peace, in which position he served creditably for several years. And was then elected to the position of Police Judge of the city, which office he held for several terms, following which he was elected to the position of Probate Judge in 1910, to which position he was continuously returned since said date. In the office of Probate Judge he was kind and affable, and a great friend of children, and by reason of this outstanding quality became known as "Daddy Sims." A great many little feet were directed to and in the right path, and many a little soul was made happy by the kindness and fatherly consideration given them by Judge Sims. He was never too busy with other business to the extent of neglecting children; their welfare was of first consideration with him. It was his proud boast—that this business was kept up to date, and that his books were balanced at the close of each day. He was liberal in his political views and believed that it was but right and proper, to in some appreciable degree, show that he respected for its worth, the help he received from all groups going to make up our populace. There was a large out-pouring of all the people as a last tribute of respect to him. He will not soon be forgotten by his many friends, but rather will be long and favorably remembered. SONG BIRDS WERE OLD GERMAN DISH Song birds in apples, cooked in boiling lard, was a German delicacy of the Fourteenth century and was served by royalty at all notable dinners of state. A cook book compiled in 1452 has been discovered by writers on domestic science, who quote many recipes of the olden times when kings and nobles gorged themselves on every occasion, and appeared to be particularly fond of blackbirds baked in pies. At nearly all great feasts a most popular dish was an enormous fish pie, supposedly of Spanish origin. This contained two pounds of butter, half a pound of bacon or pork, eight pounds of haddock, twenty to thirty eggs, one pound of veal, a pound of oysters, onlons, spices and various other seasonings. Beef tongue and cabbage is mentioned prominently in the old cook book, which is supposed to have been conceived by a nun in the Rosenthal convent in the Bavarian Palatinate. Even the nobility, it appears, was fond of cabbage in those days and put up great barrels of it each summer. No Bananas A well-known Mississippi printer was fond of playing pranks. One day while riding with an illiterate man, he began gravely to chatter Italian to his driver. The man looked wildly at him, but said nothing. Finally the printer, in pretended plque, said: "What's the matter? Why don't you answer?" "I dunno what yo'all is talkin' 'bout." "What's wrong? Haven't you any brains?" "Yessah, I got some brains, all right, but dey ain't no use to me now." THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E. CHURCH C. E. BROOKS, Pastor. Parsonage 1111 N.

Brooks preached a short soul-stirring sermon, after which the congregation enjoyed an old-fashioned testifying meeting and sacrament. Many of the old soldiers of the cross who cannot attend Friday night class service considered it a rare treat to speak a word for Jesus and tell of His wonderful keeping power. At 7:30 p. m. the pastor preached another helpful sermon from Matt. 5:13-14 "Ye are the salt of the earth, etc." The Sunday School at 9:30 a.m., was largely attended. Preparations are being made to highly entertain all who attend their annual picnic August 14 at Heathwood park. Everybody is invited. The Allen Christian Endeavor had its usual large attendance at 5:30 p. m. and an interesting program was rendered. The Senior Department is gradually growing to the delight of the officers and members. Come out to class meeting tonight and don't forget prayer services Wednesday night. Improved Roads on A novel plan has been presented to the county supervisors and the Automobile Association of San Joaquin as a means of both beautifying new California roads and paying a profit, if not paying the cost of the roads. L. H. Taylor, a walnut grower, makes the suggestion. The scheme, says the New York Times, is to plant walnut trees on either side of the roadways at intervals of about 100 feet. The trees are to be cared for as ordinary shade trees, at the expense of the county. At the end of ten years, declares Mr. Taylor, the trees ought to bear about fifty pounds of walnuts each. There are more than 250 miles of roadways already and the walnut trees would occupy about the equivalent of a grove 1,368 acres in extent. In ten years, at the average of fifty pounds of walnuts from each tree, there would be 13,000,000 pounds of these nuts which could probably be sold for 15 cents a pound, net, or about $195,000, and this sum would pay a great part of the country's taxes and road upkeep. Beware of Flame It is not generally known that a storage battery on charge is giving off hydrogen gas, and that this gas, when mixed with the oxygen of the air, forms an explosive. For this reason, says the Scientific American, one should keep one's face and lighted matches away from the vent of a battery while it is on charge. The small vent of the battery is sufficient to permit the escape of the hydrogen gas, under normal conditions. In the presence of a flame, however, the hydrogen gas, mixed with oxygen, may ignite and the battery may very well be blown to pieces. One should use an electric flashlight in looking into the charging battery to see the level of the electrolysis in each cell. How It Was "How did it happen that Ork Onken gave you such a heck of a whipping tuther day?" asked an acquaintance. "Well, I'll just—p'tu—tell you," replied Tobe Sagg of Sandy Mush. "I was driving along and met him in the big road. He says, 'Howdy!' and I says, 'Howdy!' He says, 'Got any licker on you?' No!' says I 'All right,' says he. 'Get down out'n that there waggin, and I'll whip you on less ground than a two-dollar bill will cover!' I hain't got no two-dollar bill," says I, beginning to climb down. I have!' says he. "Also he done it."—Kansas City Star. Many "Dead Letters" About 42,000,000 letters pass through the dead letter branches of the postoffice in the United States yearly because they are undeliverable. This is at the rate of 3,500,000 a month, and assuming that it takes fifteen minutes for the sender to write each of these letters, they represent a loss of 10,500,000 hours which converted into working days of eight hours each, would mean 1,812,500 days.

METROPOLITAN TEMPLE NOTES As it was Kaw Valley Association week we had a large congregation Sunday, August 3, 1924 at our Baptist Temple. As there were three whom we could choose from the Association to preach for us, the Pastor eventually decided to preach himself at 11 a. m. He selected a very good text and preached it intelligently. Moderator Young's wife and Miss M. Bradshaw were visitors and made complimentary remarks. Pastor Bronson asked Mrs. A. T. Marr to respond to them. Some united with the church; and the Lord's Supper and Baptizing were postponed till Sunday evening, August 10th. Prayer meetings are Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings. The Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. are doing fine. The Mission Circle meets on Thursdays, and the Sewing Circle meets Fridays and serves dinner from 12 to 4 p. m. Mrs. Hattie Miller on Freeman avenue, is still in bed sick. Mrs. Viola Calhoun, on Washington Boulevard, is very sick as we go to press. Miss Buelah Douglass, a teacher of music, is here visiting her mother-and attending Metropolitan. She will teach at Arkansas College next fall. Many others visited Metropolitan. Next Sunday, August 10th, the Lord's Supper will be administered and some will be baptized. Come to Metropolitan, the busiest church in town. Turn About Fair Play Former Senator Albert Beveridge, who lives in Indianapolis, telephoned a next-door neighbor one day upon whom he had never deligned to pay a neighborly call. "Your little dog and my little dog seem to have become very friendly," he said. "That's nice, but they begin their flirtations barking so early in the morning that they annoy my sick wife. I wonder if you'd be kind enough to keep your little dog in, say, till about nine o'clock?" "Certainly, Mr. Beveridge, certainly," replied his neighbor. "But, Mr. Beveridge, since your little dog and my little dog call on each other, don't you think their masters could follow suit?" There was a gasp and then a chuckle, and that evening Mr. Beveridge strolled over for a neighborly call.

Call : i 0300 : 4429 : STRUCK AT DIGNITY OF NOBLE RED MAN In Michigan there is an Indian achool where the children of the more or less noble red man are instructed In Anglo-Saxon graces and civilization. One of the téachers says: “Tt is very interesting to study these children, especially as we have them from four different tribes. “The boys have a sénse of humor. In my fiag-drill! one Friday the partners were a boy and e girl, and where the lines intersect to form a’ cross I taught the boys to let their partners go first; and much trouble T had to do It. | “After the exercises Alfred Crane came up to me, and in his solemn way sald: “Miss Smith, in letting the girls pass In front of the boys you have struck at the root of en Indian na- tional custom.’ “How so, Alfred? “Tt Is the custom for the man to 80 first, carrying his dignity, and for, the woman to follow, carrying every- thing else.” "—Kansas City Star. | Perhaps He Will J.

Whale Meat az Food Whaling has now been established on a scientific basis by the Norwegian industry. After years of extravagant Killing when nothing but the blubber was utilized, whales are now being utilized completely, boneless whale meat belng an {mportant product. It was considered necessary last year to grant whaling permits under conces- sions covering all Norwegian waters, in order to prevent undue competition and to Insure the best utilization of the whale. Fresh whale meat com- pares favorably with other meats, ac- cording to scientific tests conducted by Christiania university.

F, BRADLEY, JB. Atty. for Plff. (First publication July 18, 1924.) FACTS OF INTEREST _ TO ALL AMERICANS Publication by Government Gives Much Information. ' Meives Mucn informaiton. “Know America First” should be a maxim of wide appeal to Americans in these days, and a government pub- Ucation just Jesued affords notable contributions to the general knowl- edge of some features of our national Gomain and history. This publication is entitled “Boundaries, Areas, Geo Graphic Qenters and Altitudes of the United States and of the Several States, with a Brief Record of Impor- tant Changes in Their Territory,” by H. M. Douglas, and has been issued by the Department of the Interior as Bulletin 689 of the geological survey. ‘The report is sold by the superintend- ent of documents, Washington, at a pominal cost, The book gives numerous little known facts relating to the organiza- tion of the original thirteen colonies and of the states after’ the Revolution. For example, how many know that the colony of Virginia once included the Bermuda Islands and also the country westward to the Pactifle ocean, then called the South sea—so christened by Balboa in 1513, becausa at the place where he first saw it the shore-line runs nearly east and west—or that the area now called Vermont once be longed to New York and that Massa- chusetts controlled the area now in- cluded in Maine. The reasons for the peculfar irreg- ularities and jogs in some of the boun- Gary lines are explained, For exam- ple, the “nose” projecting into Canada at the Lake of the Woods, on the Min- nesota boundary, is due to the use of Inaccurate maps by the makers of the treaties by which this area became United States territory. The “pan- bandle” at the southern corner of Missouri is said to be the result of efforts of a prominent property owner to have his plantation included tn the new state. ‘The Indefiniteness of some of the early boundary lines fs ilustrated by @ quotation from Rufus Choate, who {n the boundary dispute between Mas- sachusetts and Rhode Island safd be- fore the Massachusetts legislature: “The commissioners might as well have decided that the line between the states was bounded on the north by a bramble bush, on the south by a blue jay, on the west by a hive of bees in swarming time, and on the east by 500 foxes with firebrands tied to thelr tails.” ‘The state of Callfornia has within its boundaries the highest and the low- est polats of dry land in the United States proper, and Alaska has the highest mountain peak in the posses- sions of the United States. Colorado ts the state having the greatest aver age altitude; Delaware has the least. The bulletin describes the outlying possessions of the United States and tells when and how they were ac quired, Of the newly added posses- slong (Alaska, bought In 1867, not in- cluded), the 7,000 or more islands com- prising the Philippine group. cover the greatest area, The Virgin islands are the most recent acquisition and also the most costly. To obtain soverelgn- ty over these Islands, which have a combined land area of a trifle less than 138 square miles, the United States pald nearly §300 an acre. For Alaska, which has been an important source of revenue, the United States paid less than 2 cents an acre. It 1s generally supposed that the United States has never relinquished territory once acquired, but this {s not the case, The United States gave up more than 20,000 square miles of west, ern land when it purchased Florida from Spain by the treaty of 1819. The bulletin contains a facsimile reproduction of a map of the British and French possessions In America as they were known in 1755. A copy of that map was used In the preparation of the treaty with Great Britain in 1782, when the United States was first recognized as an Independent nation. The book also contains numerous oth- er maps Mlustrating the growth of the United States and the changes lo Its boundarles from early colonial days up to the present time.

There was no debate. In the morning Dr. L. K. Williams made an address, and he told the people about the National Baptist convention, and then in the afternoon Dr. J. E. Woods spoke and he told them that he was president of the original National Baptist convention. It was just a great big joke. He is just a big joker. I will talk about this at another time. He is just as much of a match for Dr. L. K. Williams, as that fellow was who thought he could beat Demosthenes speaking. I wonder if he knows what Judge Smith said in Chicago when he dissolved the injunction which E. P. Jones, et al, got out when they tried to take the convention? I will pay my respects to them all in a few days. You may reach me at P. O. Box 972, Birmingham, Ala., next week, and the next week at 4823 Calumet avenue, Chicago, Ill. J. O. MIDNIGHT. PEARL DIVERS ENJOY DAYS OF AFFLUENCE Spend With Prodigality When Fortune Smiles. Pearl diving off the island of Hikueru in the South seas has yielded rich returns during the season just closed. Both pearl shells and pearls of high value have been found in large numbers in the waters of the lagoon. These pearl oyster beds had been under restriction for a number of years and for that reason the jewel crop was unusually good. The diving is done by natives who have trained themselves from childhood to descend under water a long time. No diving machines are permitted. The Tahita merchants establish stations at the island during the season to buy the shells and to sell provisions and luxuries to the divers and their families. Representatives from Paris jewelry houses always are on hand to compete for the better quality of pearls. Pearls of lesser value fall into the hands of the speculatively inclined Chinese and European schooner captains. From long experience the natives are fully aware of the value of their finds, so that not many bargains are available. The South sea island native reacts to prosperity ostentatiously. The wife of the successful diver parades the white coral beach of Hikueru clad in brilliant silks, high-heel shoes, picture hats and the most costly Chinese shawls. In the island of Born Boru, where the high price of vanilla beans has raised growers of that staple to temporary affluence, the Chinese shawl has been appropriated by the men as the insignia of great riches. It is worn draped around the neck, with the embroidered ends hanging gracefully down the back and chest. The real vanilla barons wear, in addition, a second shawl of a different color about the waist. Many stories of lucky finds at Hikueru have drifted into Papeete. One tells how the keeper of a semaphore signal at Papeete, who went to the island on a holiday, happened to see a large pearl oyster lying in shallow water near the beach, dived for it, and on opening it found a pearl for which he received 15,000 francs. Another relates that an old native woman, while fishing on the reef, stubbed her toe against an oyster that yielded a gem worth $1,000 gold. Riches, however, never do a Tahitian native any permanent good. They are dissipated immediately in fine clothes, cases of tinned salmon (no native will wet his toes in the sea in search of fish if canned salmon can be had), guitars, accordions, and all manner of trivial amusements. Then, when the tide of affluence has ebbed, the Tahitian returns to his loin cloth and his bread-fruit and fish diet until another crop of copra or vanilla has matured, or the restriction has been taken off another pearl island. But in the prosperous era he has lived gorgeously. Spell "Your new stenographer is a witch. Can she spell?" "At least she has half the office force under one."

Machine Created Designs The creation of designs for textiles, wall paper and floor coverings by mechanical means is a possibility of the near future. This is expected to be accomplished by means of a recently devised projecting machine, which, through its prismatic and control arrangements, is capable of producing an unlimited variation of patterns that are reflected on a screen or as otherwise desired. "Desert Rats" Doomed The oldest "desert rats" and prospectors may be put out of business by an invention of the director of the United States bureau of mines.
