Vol. XII EMANCIPATION TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC DAY EMANCIPATION TO SAVE THE REPUBLIC DAY "Call to Arms' for Renewed Crusade Against Segregation and Lynching by the Race on Sept. 22. Boston, Mass., Sept. 10.—"September 22nd is one of the greatest days in the history of Americans of African descent, being vied with only by January 1st, which cannot be distinctive, being New Year's day, greatest because the day of issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862. It should be annually noticed, not however as a reminder of race slavery, but to remind all America that the Emancipation was declared as the only means to save the union of states by using the fighting power of the colored race to rescue the republic from destruction by the South." Such is the opening clause of an appeal to the race nationally to publicly observe September 22nd as "Emancipation to Save the Republic" Day in every country, town or city by race mass meetings or conventions. The league declares that the colored race as a great racial group or element, the only one in the U. S. A. denied liberty and justice, should come together in every place to go over its situation as to treatment and get ready in mind and spirit to wage a renewed, united crusade on its own independent account and resources for equality ad justice, at each meeting making the abolition of federal segregation and lynching the paramount objects of this race-conscious positive, renewed push forward, but including all race deprivations. In its appeal the league urges that at each such local mass meeting or convention on September 22nd, delegates be elected to a National Rate Mass convention against federal segregation and lynching to be held down thereafter as the league's 18th annual meeting. A year after the presidential campaign in which all elements of the race made public complaint against segregation, neglect and lynching and before congress opens is high and proper time for the race to bring to bear its own united moral and political power in national race assembly as an additional asset to all other forms of help, with all racial bodies participating, is the conclusion of the leagues "Call to Arms" for rights 63 years after Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation as a call to arms of our race out of slavery into soldiers ranks to save the land from rebellion. Every pastor, fraternal, civic and equal rights leader or worker and every race-loyal citizen is urged to bring to pass such a local mass convention, holding them under the auspices of racial citizens or equal rights committee being especially recommended, but the method is left to the race in each community. BETHLEHEM STEEL HELPS EMPLOYES Washington, Sept. 10.—Believing that home ownership makes for better happier, and more settled citizens, and employees, the management of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation has developed a housing plan which is in operation at the company's major plants, and homes valued at $13,000,000 have already been purchased by 3,400 employees of the company. The housing activities are administered by a real estate organization at each of the principal plants. Special attention is given to the improvement of existing houses owned by the company, to the construction of new houses, where housing facilities are inadequate, and to the helping of employees in the purchase or erection of homes. Due to the fact that the Bethlehem Steel Cor- poration gives employment to hund- reds of colored men it is believed that this system of aiding their workers will greatly reduce the labor turnover among this class of wage- earners whose desire for permanent employment and residence depends so largely upon the question of adequate housing and educational facilities. BISHOP J. M. CONNOR DEAD Bishop J. M. Connor of Little Rock, Ark., passed away last week at his late home, after two years illness. Bishop Connor was retired at the last general conference at Louisville, Ky., on account of disability.

(Special)—The Forty-fifth Annual Session of the National Baptist Convention of America opened in this city, Wednesday morning with J. Edmund Wood, D.D., of Danville, Kentucky, presiding. There was a glorious arrangement and setting for the opening, which had been prepared by the local committee under the Chairmanship of Dr. J. W. Hurse, the pastor of the Saint Stephens Baptist Church. At the same time, the National Woman's Convention, an Auxiliary to the parent body was having its opening and was being presided over by Mrs. Georgia DeBaptiste Faulkner of Chicago, Illinois.

ROBERT SMITH SHOOTS SELF. Robert Smith, 35 years old, 401 Virginia avenue, who runs a confectionery, was found Tuesday afternoon near a barbecue oven in the rear of his place of business, with a bullet wound in his abdomen, and his gun laying by his side on the ground. He was taken to Douglass hospital, where he passed away in a short time without regaining consciousness. It is not positively known whether it was accidental or self-inflicted, but owing to him being bothered with heart trouble, since being gassed in France, it is believed he took his own life. He leaves a wife and other relatives. Mrs. Ida Foster, 420 Quindaro boulevard, after a ten day visit in Denver, Colorado Springs and other points in the west, returned home this week and reports an enjoyable trip. Hear Bishop M. W.

The Monarchs have five more games and St. Louis the same number, yet to play. The Monarchs have the Birmingham Black Barons, starting Saturday, with a double header Sunday and playing Monday and Tuesday, and the St. Louis Stars have for their opponents at home, Memphis. The Monarchs will have to win all five of these games, while St. Louis will have only to win four out of five with Memphis, to win the pennant for the second half of the season. It matters not who wins the two teams will have to play off to see who will play for the world's charmship, with pennant team of the east, which will be Philadelphia. WASHINGTON SOPRANO TO SING OPERA Washington, Sept. 10.—Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs has been engaged to sing in opera at Nice and at Monte Carlo under the name Madame Evanti next winter. She will be one of the first colored Americans to engage in grand opera, having trained for the past two years in Paris under Champi. She is the wife of Wilfred Roy Tibbs, leader of the Howard University Glee Club and other musical organizations, and the daughter of the late W. Bruce Evans, for many years principal of the Armstrong Manual Training School. She has been heard frequently in this city over the radio. THE OLDEST NEIGHBORHOOD CLUB Officers: Mrs. M.

SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 BOYS WEEK WITH A RUSH, AND THEN SOME It is expected that the tteachers and parents as well, will take hold in earnest to make Boys' week all it should be. The plan was fully laid out in last Sunday's Kansan, and in the Star, of Saturday. Attorney General C. B. Griffith, who has for some time desired to deliver an address to our group on the constitution of the United States, will deliver the address of the day. And the two subjects, Emancipation an the constitution, fit well together;; and we may expect a masterly address, from an able man. The federation of clubs of the city, through their president, Mrs. James, has indicated a willingness to help out, as well also, the president of the hospital auxiliary, Mrs. Mollie Turner. These ladies, with others will meet with the league this week, to shape and consummate plans to make Boys week, and their parade on Emancipation day a grand success, and to establish it, permanently as the strong feature of the Emancipation celebration. It has been suggested by many as a capital idea, to connect the day, with an idea of drawing out, and lifting up of the boys and girls of today, towards the level at which they will be the men and women of tomorrow. It is everybody's work, let us do it with a will. I. F. BRADLEY. Hear Bishop M. W.

Number 4 CENSUS OF RELIGIOUS BODIES TO BE TAKEN MIGRATION AND CHURCH MEMBERSHIP Washington, Sept. 10.—Press announcements to the effect that the department of commerce is preparing to take a census of the religious bodies of the United States early next year have aroused colored churchmen and officials to the importance of having their organizations prepared to submit accurate reports that will show the progress of their various denominations during the past ten years. As a result of the migration from the South it is generally believed that a considerable decrease in membership and in the value of church property will be reported in that section of the country by several denominations without a corresponding increase in the northern states, due to the neglect of those who moved North to connect themselves with the church organizations to which they formerly belonged. At the last census of religious bodies taken in 1916, there were reported among the largest exclusively Negro denominations 21,113 National Convention Baptist organizations with 2,938,579 members and church property valued at $41,184,920. The A. M. E. followed with 6,636 organizations, 548,355 members, and property valued at $14,631,792. The A. M. E. Z. reported 2,716 organizations, 257,169 members, and property to the value of $7,591,393. The next in importance was the C. M. E. with 2,621 organizations, 245,749 members, and church property valued at $5,619,862. Among the white denominations having Negro organizations, the Methodist Episcopal reported 3,704 colored organizations with 320,025 members, and church property valued at $8,047,197. The Presbyterian church in the United States of America reported 434 colored organizations, 31,957 members, and property to the value of $1,276,148. The Protestant Episcopal Church, reported 217 colored organizations, 23,775 members, and property valued at $1,527,768. The Northern Baptist Convention has 142 colored organizations, 53,842 members and property valued at $2,779,199, while the Roman Catholic Church reported 90 colored organizations, 51,688 members and church property valued at $1,173,372. No other denomination at census of ten years ago reported as many as 50,000 colored members. It is believed that large increases in church membership and in the value of church property will be shown for certain denominations that have been doing constructive church and educational work among the colored citizens during recent years, and that their increase will probably effect, to some extent, the large membership losses of other denominations. TABLET TO BE PLACED IN THE CHURCH, SUNDAY SEPT. 13th Trinity Institutional A. M. E. Church, corner of Greely avenue and Fifth street, will have its Institutional Tablet placed Sunday, September 13th, at 2 o'clock p.m. The ceremonies will be conducted by H. I.

Withering Comment on Result of World War The Recorder sat in a tower on the wall of the Eternal city and thumbed an ancient book. The book contained the record of man's achievements. The entries were surprisingly few. On the first yellow page were two words: "Fire discovered." The second entry, obviously made many centuries later, was equally terse: "The wheel discovered." It was evident that the Recorder took no notice of trifles and made entries only on those rare occasions when men took a step forward. There was a brief note concerning the beginning of organized government, when men sacrificed personal liberty to win safety, and another to mark the beginning of democracy. The discovery of printing received three lines. The Recorder thumbed the pages of his book and yawned. And even as he yawned there was a great stir on the earth below and a war was in progress. Nations girded themselves for the conflict and young men marched in countless millions. Guns bellowed, gases crept along the ground, mighty ships were shattered. Orators denounced the evil that had been let loose in the world; idealists pictured a world free from human nature; valent men died without whimpering because their cause seemed just. Cities were destroyed; children starved; fields lay idle. And when the orgy of killing was over, men gathered up the shattered remains of the civilization they had been so long in building, taxed themselves to pay for their follies and wrote their memoirs. The world was dotted with new graves; new prejudices formed. The malmed hobbled on every street. The Recorder, leaning on a window sill, had watched the commotion with some show of eagerness. Apparently he had hopes. But when the world had returned to its accustomed way he yawned and closed his book. A messenger appeared at the door with a question. "Tell him," said the Recorder, "that nothing has happened."—Baltimore Sun. College and Cathedral Christ church, the largest and most notable of Oxford (Eng.) colleges, is in the fifth century of its existence. For reasons of convenience the celebration already had been held, so the true birthday anniversary of this curious institution, which is both a college and a cathedral and yet is called a church, passed quietly during the long vacation. Modern investigation has revealed a remarkable continuity in the history of English ecclesiastical foundations. The Saxons built their churches on the ruins of the great Roman temples, and the Normans in their turn rebuilt the Saxon churches. This continuity is most remarkable in Oxford, where nearly every college has grown out of a medieval monastery. Christ church stands on the site of a priory, a parish church and at least two older monastic colleges, its bells were removed from a neighboring abbey, and both the stones and the funds used in its construction were obtained from the dissolution of more than forty monastic foundations. Farm Buildings Valuable According to the last federal census the value of all farm buildings in the United States is placed at $11,486,439,543 and the average per farm is $1,781. The state of Iowa leads all others with a valuation of $922,751,713 and an average of $4,323. In the District of Columbia the average is $6,967, the total being only $1,421,221; however.

MIGHT BE CONSTRUED AS "GENTLE HINT" Little Francis Irwin, film prodigy, is very partial to ice cream cones and discovered that the way to get them was to speak up on any and all occasions. His parents often reproved him and finally, with the threat of a spanking hanging over his head, little Francis lapsed into silence. A few days later the company went on location. Francis said not a word and when the car hesitated while the driver tried to ascertain which street to take, one of the party asked the child if he were getting sleepy. "Oh, no," said Francis, "I was just wondering if you were looking for a drug store." First Use of Purse Only in the advanced stages of civilization among Gauls and Anglos was the purse used, for payment was mostly in kind or service. But the Roman invasions having introduced collage and new methods of trade, money bags soon became necessary. These among both peoples were of leather, with strings of varied lengths, by which they were closed at the mouth or attached to the girdle. By the Anglo-Saxons, they were styled hygirdulum, being, perhaps, some reference to the girdle side or to the gift of God. At the death of Charlemagne, the traditional belief of his people that he would need his purse to pay his way as he traveled toward Paradise led to their entombing with him a gift travelling pouch which he carried on his journey to Rome. Not until the Middle Ages are references found to purses made from linen or silk, and their introduction and the general use of purses of all kinds has been attributed by Lacroix almost entirely to the Crusades. Famous Irishman Oliver St. John Gogarty, noted in his native Dublin as a wilt and satirist, has been at various times a politician, a physician and a writer. As a senator of the Irish Free State, he was captured by insurgent forces and was forced to swim the icy Liffey to save his life. Escaping to London, he became a physician, and upon his return to Ireland produced a volume of verse that won the poetry prize at the Irish games. Critics of Gaelfic verse place him with Yeats and Joyce. Promising Boy Musician James Whitehead, a youth of twelve in Morecambe, England, recently defeated 30 adults in a violin competition. He was pronounced a musical marvel by the judges who sat entranced by his music and the facility with which he played. He plans to follow a musical career.

The Sunday school at Metropolitan Baptist Temple was largely attended, then at 11 a. m., many came to worship God. Pastor Bronson preached well and the choir sang appropriate songs. At 6 p. m., the B. Y. P. U., had a nice program and at 8 p. m., Pastor Bronson preached a fine sermon, as a suitable prelude for sacrament. It was found that the total days collection was over $108. Dr. Bronson praised the large collections, the members are giving weekly. He also appointed Mrs. M. C. Matthews to meet the religious board of education at the chamber of commerce and represent him on the text books to be used in the religious week day schools in October. He appointed Mrs. A. Allsbrook to take charge of the Junior B. Y. P. U. pupils in the place of Mrs. Jackson, who is now matron in the Topeka Industrial school. He served as master of ceremonies Sunday afternoon at the funeral of the late Mrs. H. D. Kemp, and Mrs. Matthews, by request, had resolutions and a poem from neighbors near Washington boulevard. He left for Baltimore, Md., to attend the national convention beginning Tuesday, September 8th. Next Sunday, September 13th, a fine preacher from Baltimore will preach at our church. Come and hear him. Mrs. F. Thompson attended the national Baptist convention in Baltimore. Next Sunday, Sept. 13th Rev. D. Over of Baltimore, Md., is expected to preach at both services. Come hear him. He is a fine preacher. The Lord's Supper was administered to many Christians and many beautiful hymns were sung by true Christians present, on the last Sabbath. The Adult We adults forget. Food and drink and sleep are the realities to us. To us there is a yesterday; there will be a tomorrow. I try to go back into the dim and vasty past, but I do not find myself there. I am an adult. I have discovered philosophies that never burdened the sweet conscious honesty of childhood. I have discovered obstacles intervening between me and my God. The road to Paradise is no longer short and straight and shining; it winds among the shadows and may not lead to Paradise after all. Complexities have entered into that gentle relationship between life and myself that had no existence in the days of babyhood. A hundred hands, atalistic and primitive, pull me in a hundred different directions; mocking voices, stilled in childhood, hurl repeated questions in my puzzled ears. Along that road to babyhood I do not find the child I was; I find only my present self. Knowledge of things I may have gained, but only a great bewilderment as to life itself.—Arthur Somers Roche, in Heart's International-Cosmopolitan. Air Mails and Ireland Every proposal for the inauguration of an air mail service is welcome, if for no other reason than because it turns thought away from the use of airplanes for war purposes. Hence the announcement that it is hoped to start such a service between Belfast, Ireland, and England in March next is especially gratifying because it may also tend to cement the two peoples more closely together. It is said that already two airplanes have been purchased and that a third has been ordered. With these it is intended to carry on all the year-round service. This will enable letters posted in Belfast in the evening to be delivered in London by the first mail in the morning, and vice versa.—Montreal Herald. Tax to Support Science Commerce and industry will be required to contribute to the financial support of a scientific research in France, if a measure passed by the chamber of deputies is also approved by the senate. The bill provides for a tax of five centsm on each 100 francs paid in salaries by industrial and commercial concern. The sum which the tax would raise for French scientific laboratories is estimated at 14,000,000 francs a year. This is about $700,000, according to the present rate of exchange. Corrects Receding China Receding chins are now being fixed by New York surgeons. By means of a special plate, it is possible to throw the lower jaw forward, so that the molar teeth meet in their proper position. This plate has the effect of making the patient bite forward, with the result, in most cases, that the receding chin eventually becomes normal. People in Italy are just meeting their accumulated needs which had remained un satisfied during and since the war, and this is giving the country its present prosperity. Vacation Note Donald B. MacMillan, arctic explorer, reports finding mosquitoes within 700 miles of the North pole, so if you are planning on going that way on your vacation don't wear sheer silk hose and peek-a-boo walsts.-Duluth News-Tribune. Camels Going Arab shells are taking to automobiles. Camels are going out of style, even in the desert areas. Proof is the continued requests from the Near East for American cars.

Helpful Suggestion "I'm in a quandary," she said to the milliner. "I don't know what to do about a hat. I'm of two minds about it." "Then take two hats," suggested the milliner, "and please both minds."—Boston Transcript.

She also is mate and cook, and in addition helps at any other task while at sea. Copper Wires Costly The overhead wire of the average street car line does not have a "life" of over 10 years and the replacement of these copper wires is one of the biggest items of expense of every electric street railway system.

(First Published August 28, 1925) Chick Embryo in Glass Fow the first time in history, the development of the embryo of a warm-blooded animal has been carried on under such conditions that it can be watched. This feat has been accomplished by two scientists at the University of Leyden, Drs. J. P. M. Vogelar and J. B. van den Boogert, who have placed common hens' eggs, with the shells removed, in small glass dishes in an incubator, and have succeeded in keeping the embryo alive and growing for five days. Hitherto the only way in which embryos could be studied has been by placing large numbers of eggs in the incubator and removing and opening them one by one at intervals.

Ask, your I ‘FIRST LOVE AFFAIR ~~ * *[S TURNING POINT Struggle of the Adolescent Mind a Severe One. y Calf-love is the easiest thing in the ‘World to laugh at, That it ts less easy to endure was revealed by a boy criminal in a strange letter to the magistrates who tried him, In that document he described the stages of his downfall from the moment when he realized that his first Toye could not be reciprocated. Happily, most boys and girls recover from the shock of their first love af- fafr without ruining themselves in the process. Yet no one who has studied the adolescent mind can doubt for a moment that, as a rule, the struggle is a severe one, ‘The first love affair is far more sert- ou, far more anxious, than people who have grown up are ready to ‘ad- | mit. . Nor are its dangers made less, or its burdens lightened by the attitude com- monly adopted toward the victim by those who should be bis friends. Al- ‘most Invariably they laugh and deride when a word of sympathy is most eagerly desired and most urgently needed. ‘The wretched boy or girl 1s shamed into silence about an event -of the emotional life which, after all, !s per- fectly natural, and must, In any case, exercise a profound influence on his or her whole attitude to life, Thousands of marriages are ulti- mately spoiled by cynicism which brands first love as & joke or dilates on Its grotesque and silly character. The wild freshness of the dawn is but seldom recovered once ft has been Jost. ‘This does not mean, of course, that boys and girls are to be encouraged in sentimentalism, But their feelings, however exag- gerated, must be accepted as genuine for the moment and honored ag such. ‘They must be taken, if not seriously, at least respectfully. It they feel that thelr strange emo- tional experience is belng understood and regarded sympathetically their own common sense becomes the ally of emotionalism and the enemy of their critics. . ‘Thus, Instead of being “laughed out of” their folly, they are very effectual- ly laughed Into ft. Their best weapon of defense {fs struck, as It were, from thelr hands. It is a good sign of the present gen- eration that it ts beginning to take emotions seriously and to grant them their rightful place In the business of life, ‘This attitude has certainty made life happier and easier for many people. There fs no reason in the world why it should not be extended to those earnést but inexperienced mariners, our growing lads and lasses, Either this powerful force can be used to ennoble and glorify life or it can be turned aside by cheap laughter Into channels of shame and misery.— Washington Post. Giant Bones in Mexico One of the most interesting of re cent discoveries In Mexico 1s that re ported by prospecting miners operating a new gold and silver mining district in the state of Chihuahpa. According to one of the engineers, who has reached Mexico City from the Slerra Madre range of mountains where the operations are being carried on, there have been discovered several human skeletons measuring from ten to twelve feet in length, They were all found in one cave, being quite intact. ‘The average length of the feet was from 18 to 20 inches. The anthropo- logical department of the Mexican gov- ernment is planning to send a commis- sion to investigate the discoveries. The Investigation is expected to clear up the origin of the wonderful Indians of the state of Chihuahua. The skeletons were all found In a sitting posture, shoulders bent forward and arms rest- Ing on upraised knees. British Patents in 1924 Applications for patents in Great Britain totaled more than 30,000 last year, according to the New York World, and although the number ts 1,000 less than was received in 1923. there was an Increase during the later months. Radlo developments were the most numerous subjects pf the patents, more than 800 being granted, an In- crease of 200 over the, year before. Many applications from’ inventors In this field were not pressed, the orig: inators‘apparently’ realfzing that their Ideas were In many cases commercially useless or had become out of date while the matter was pending because of the-rapid progress in this gelence.

Peters of the bureau of standards, Washington, has completed a new ruler, which he thinks will be absolutely free from mathematical error and therefore the most accurate in the world. It has a scale with rulings only five one hundred thousandths of an inch wide and spaced with an accuracy of at least two millionths of an inch. Completion of the ruler upsets the old saying that nothing made by man can be perfect as scientists declare the scale is free from error. The new scale will be used in the calibration of micrometer microscopes. YOU READ the Other Fellow's Ad You are reading this one.

Experts of the department determined that the only way is to keep the cows from the weed, in which they revel.

HAS, THE MAN INCREASE FROM HAVEN, FLORIDA, E OF ORANGES GREAT! BAY, HE'S THE SQUAREST SHOOTER IVE MET IN YEARS -HAS DARN NICE HAND- WRITING TOO THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE "I'm afraid — I'm afraid — I'm afraid!" A million times a day we say it—"I'm afraid!" And then we wonder why we have so little Success and so little Happiness! If you spend your whole life looking for Safety, then you'll get Safety, perhaps, and you'll find out how little it amounts to. Safety isn't Success and it isn't Happiness. Safety is a negative thing. It isn't worth a bean by itself. It's not getting hurt—that's all. Yet millions of people waste their whole lives trying to be safe. The world of business is filled with fears. It is filled with people who are hiding—dodging—running for dear life. In business life, as well as on the battlefield, men have shellshock and spasms of fear—blind, mad, unreasoning fear. Most business men have these spasms of fear in times of depression. Then they cancel orders and sack employees, and stop advertising and dig themselves in. Generally it is not what does happen that frightens men, but what might happen. Most men squeal before they are hurt. The truth is that no man can escape either criticism or risk. You can never be blameless and you can never be safe, so why worry about it. Face your fears. Walk toward them. And you'll be surprised to see how small and weak they are. Do what you're afraid to do. Be brave enough to buy in a slump. Be brave enough to sell in a boom. And you'll have to hire a taxi to take your profits home. If you are in trouble, always ask: "What is the worst that can happen?" You'll usually find that the worst is not so terrible. Courage! It is the rarest and most precious of all our real possessions. It is not taught in schools nor in churches. Every man must learn it for himself. Danger is a tonic. It is a necessity of the inner life. You can never learn to be a good loser until you lose. So here are unanswerable reasons why you should adopt this tip as one of the rules of your life—get rid of fear. No one can hurt you if you are true to yourself.—Herbert N. Casson in Forbes Magazine. Centenary of Match The match recently had its one hundredth birthday, having been introduced in 1825 by John Walker, an Englishman, who conceived the idea of selling his matches in boxes at 1 shilling 4 pence a box. The safety match, called "Swedish," did not appear until the year 1892. This was the first match which could be lit only when struck on the box. The idea of the match, however, antedated Walker by nearly two centuries. As early as 1680 Godfrey Hawkwitz was using phosphorus to igulte little wooden sticks, dipped in sulphur. Various experiments were made by other scientists of the day, but it was not until 1825 that the match emerged from the laboratory and was placed on the market. Long-Buried Tree Rolla Fallon, employed at the Glenn Ayr mine, near Terre Haute, Ind., was digging coal with a pick 200 feet below the surface and more than a quarter of a mile back in the mine, late in March, when he struck a substance that was firmly embedded in the coal. He picked at it until a piece, more than one foot long fell out, disclosing a well-developed tree trunk with limb formations still intact. The whole tree appears to be in the coal. He took the wood to Terre Haute and will send it to the state museum at Indianapolis for further scientific research. The wood oozes water and is spongy instead of petrified, as would be supposed. The find is attracting considerable attention from miners. Magnet Collects Tacks A mining company in Idaho recently performed a unique experiment in riding a highway of tacks, nails and other metallic objects which cause tire punctures. An 1,800-pound magnet operated by 72 storage batteries was attached to a truck and dragged over the road. About 500 pounds of nails, tacks, bottle caps and other metal was collected on a mile and a half of road. Gun in Cop's Club A revolver is encased in a policeman's club by a new invention. It enables him to shoot quicker if attacked. YOU KNOW YOU CAN TELL A PERSON'S CHARACTER BY THEIR HANDWRITING — NOW, FANNY, TAKE YOURS FOR INSTANCE THOUGHT WAVES Some men sow selfishness and reap success. It is pretty hard to lighten monotony with philosophy. If you would be happy, let the other fellow do the worrying. Do not hurry; do not flurry; nothing, good is got by worry. Never put off till 'tomorrow what you should put over today. No one really scoffs at public opinion; it is always relentless. A man's conscience only worries him when the temptation' is past. Man probably gets most of his laughs from his reasoning powers. If a brilliant man can't find anybody else, he will cast pearls before swine. A man is a person who doesn't have to ask anybody if he can have a new hat. Any one, after he has become rich, is willing to tell how poor he has been. When a man has become a hero the people add heroic anecdotes to his glory. One hates to be jealous, but, like worry, it is one of those things you can't help. As a rule, if a man becomes noted after his death, his fame never ceases to increase. If you can't be contented, you can be resigned—which is a mild kind of occidental fatalism. Sleeping With One Eye Johnny, age seven, was an important member of that class Robert Louis Stevenson called the "sleepyheads." His mother always had great difficulty in getting him out of bed mornings in time for school. Johnny's uncle had recently come to their home for a visit. During the war he had lost his left eye and wore a glass substitute. One morning, several days after his uncle's arrival, Johnny's mother had at last succeeded in arousing Johnny. When he finally opened his eyes he remarked: "Mother, do people with one eye get as much sleep as people with two eyes?"—Indianapolis News. Alligators Rout Bathers Two circus alligators were thrown into Elk river in Kansas several years ago when the show disbanded and these amphibians poked their heads into a group of bathers near Howard, Kan., recently. The bathers were forced to scurry from the water. The alligators had not been seen heretofore and created a great sensation until their presence was explained.—Chicago Post. Cuba to Honor Washington A committee headed by Dr. Oswald D. Guerrero, newspaper man and politician, is raising funds for the erection of a statue of George Washington at Havana, Cuba. It is proposed to place the statue a short distance from the Maine monument. Fortune in Invention John A. Spencer of Cambridge, Mass., invented a thermometer device which he sold for $1,000,000.
