Hist. Society Vol. XII NATIONAL LEADERS PAY TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON NATIONAL LEADERS PAY TRIBUTE TO JOHNSON Washington, Sept. 21.—With the golden rays of the September sun streaming through the tri-colored windows of Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, all that was mortal of Henry Lincoln Johnson, deceased republican national committeeman of Georgia, lawyer, orator, scholar, and idol of the nation's Negro populace was given a last farewell by a host of mourners which crowded the church and overflowed into the streets. President's Letter Read "At the moment of my return to Washington," wrote President Coolidge to the widow of the deceased, "I received intelligence of the death of your husband. I wish you to know of my scrow at his passing, and of the sympathy which I feel for you and your sons in your great loss. I have long known and prized the loyalty of Mr. Johnson to his party, and to myself personally, and I recognize that in his death his associates lose a valued friend, and his race one of its ablest and most consistent defenders." Cabinet Members Present. Just back of the center of the church sat Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, Postmaster General Harry S. New, Senator William M. Butler, of Massachusetts; First Assistant Postmaster General J. H. Bartlett, and Second Assistant Postmaster General W. I. Glover; while close around the bier were mourners of national note, the majority of whom had journeyed from far distant points to pay their last tribute to Colonel Johnson. Chairman Butler's Tribute. Chairman Butler's Notebook Chairman William, M. Butler issued the following tribute to Henry Lincoln Johnson, which was printed in the Washington Post and other papers. "It is with very considerable regret that I have noted the passing of Henry Lincoln Johnson, Republican National Committee." "He was a man possessed of ability and eloquence and sincereity. His loyalty to the Republican party, its principles and its candidates was a striking and dominating influence in all his activities. The Republican party in his death has lost an upright conscientious adherent. His Race has lost a spokesman of wide vision." William C. Matthews, former Andover and Harvard athlete, and organizer of the colored section of the National Republican Campaign Committee, and an intimate friend of Henry Lincoln Johnson, journeyed all the way from Boston to be present at the obsequies of his life-long friend. Mr. Matthews, who was instrumental in selecting the schools for the sons of the deceased, Henry Lincoln, jr., and Peter Douglass, said, in speaking of his late friend: "In the death of Henry Lincoln Johnson I feel that I have lost a personal friend, ally, and adviser, and that the Party has lost one of its most stalwart champions and a tireless worker for group advancement. During the past national campaign, Colonel Johnson, because of his intimate knowledge of the politics and policies of the Republican party, and by reason of his close touch with the party leaders, rendered the organization and me a most efficient and telling service throughout the doubtful and border states, Henry Lincoln Johnson cannot be replaced."

Ewing spoke on the subject-"Religion and Business." Interesting programs have been arranged for the months of October and November. A very interesting summer of swimming has passed. 1008 boys, young men and men made use of the swimming and gymnasium. The Tennis tournaments were a new feature of activity. Through the courtesy of the Managers of the Monarchs the boys were privileged to witness several games free. The Business Men's Volley ball class has kept at it through the summer. It will make your head swim to see how long they keep the ball in the air. Some very fast skillfull players are developing. Capt. W. L. Hutcherson, Executive Secretary of the Waters Street Branch Y. M. C. A. of Wichita, Kansas, is guest of the Paseo Y. M. C. A. while attending the Social Welfare Association of Kansas, in Kansas City, Kansas.

Why Men Go North At one stage of last year's Arctic expedition the members could hear jazz music broadcast from London. Then they pushed on farther north. SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 The Right Rev. A. J. Carey of Chicago, Bishop of the 5th Episcopal District was called over the long distance phone at Denver, and petitioned to serve as speaker for the new occasion. The selection of Bishop Carey was not because of the fact that he was Bishop but because of the fact that since assuming the work of the district which covers five of the more important mid west and western states, he has been regarded by both races as a needed, conservative and sane leader. At one of his appearances, Mayor James Dahlman of Omaha said, "He is the most informed and sincere scholar before the American public on the question of race relationship." Bishop Carey was brought from Denver by way of Alliance, Nebraska, carried over land from Omaha to Nebraska City, to the place where the meeting of the opposition was held. Never did a more enthusiastic and seriously inclined audience greet a Negro speaker anywhere than did this before Bishop Carey, Saturday, Aug. 22. The Bishop's attack upon the Ku Klux movement, the Bishop's appeal to the white people of that city for a better comprehension of the Christ Spirit, was so powerful that for one hour and forty-five minutes there was not a dry eye in the house. His effort was almost super-human. Never was there a moment when one was more clearly used of The Divine than he was upon this occasion. As a result of this speech the people of this town openly avowed disfavor toward the Ku Klux movement and the pastor of this wealthy church has resigned. Hear Rev. E. A. Love, D.D., of Washington, D.

Bowles of 948 Washington boulevard, pastor at Weston and Oregon, Mo., is called to preach regularly and full time at Forest Grove, Mo., for the First Baptist Church. Mr. Lewis of the First A. M. E. Church, attended Metropolitan Sunday night. We regret to hear that Rev. W. A. Bowren at 1060, Washington boulevard is quite sick. He was resting easier Monday night. The Boys' Parade was postponed to Friday or Saturday on account of the rain. The Emancipation picnic, too. BAPTIST WOMEN'S CITY MISSION The Baptist Women had a fine meeting of the City Mission, Friday at First Baptist Church. Mrs. Moseley presided, Mrs. Foote acted secretary and Mrs. Z. Nelson led the song service. Mrs. Hurt read the scripture and after prayers, Mrs. M. C. Matthews, city missionary, gave a publicity report and her eight months report.

Number 6 BISHOP CAREY ROUTES KLUXER BEFORE WHITE NEBBASKA AUDIENCE Causes Congregation To Ask Ku Klux Pastor To Resign. Nebraska City, Neb., Sept. 20. Bishop A. J. Carey of the A. M. E. Church was put in a very trying position in this city on the occasion of the celebration of the Ku Klux Klan here, preparatory to its intensive drive for new members in the Middle West. Hurriedly called to this city, he however, overcame the opposition of the Ku Klux and put them definitely to route and caused the leader to resign his position as pastor. The Ku Klux leaders of this city advertised "a Mammoth Ku Klux Parade and Mass Meeting." This meeting was held Sunday of August 16th. The Ku Klux Committee brought as its orator of the day one of their national Kleagles from Denver, Colorado. At 2:30 on Sunday, a line of hooded marched from the court house to one of the groves of the city along the banks of the river. The site selected for the speaking, the fact of the organization wearing hoods and other regalia, constituted a weird spectacle: The speaker stated the purpose for which the Ku Klux Klan was organized. To propogate the Protestant religion, to oppose Jews and Catholics, to control the Negro in his relation to the white race and to maintain the supremacy of "White America." Perhaps the most interesting part of the program of the day was the fact that the pastor of the First Methodist Episcopal Church led the Ku Klux parade and was one of the prominent speakers on the program. He delivered the opening prayer and thanked Diety that under divine direction this organization had been born. He confessed to his Maker that he didn't mind calling the "Nigger" brother, but that he was squarely opposed to call him brother-in-law. For the purpose of off-setting the damage done, a company of citizens led by the Rev. John Adams, pastor of the local African Methodist Episcopal Church started a counter-movement. They succeeded in getting the pastor who had led the Ku Klux Klan to consent to allow the colored citizens of the town to hold a civic demonstration in the immense auditorium of his church. The Missionary societies of every white church in the community, the Chamber of Commerce, the White Ministerial Alliance, co-operated with Mr. Adams in making the meeting a success.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION. Filipinos Continue to Believe in Talismans A young Filipino descended from a "garmaytan" or ancient feudal prince known as Malkı is seeking the enchanted kerchief which gave his illustrious ancestor supernatural powers, such as that of charming birds so that they would alight upon his extended finger, or philandering with other men's wives without arousing jealousy on the part of the offended husbands. The kerchief is known in the family traditions as "the kerchief from the angel in moon." With other tallmans and amulets, it is supposed to have been secretly buried by the chleftain before he died. Each succeeding eldest son has searched for the spot in vain. American schools endeavor to disabuse the native mind of its belief in tallmans, but the belief is still widespread; a mysticism almost abysmal in depth affects the psychology of the people. It was only recently necessary for the police in a town adjoining Manila to take into custody an adolescent boy to whom thousands of the afflicted were going because it was said his possession of an enchantment bestowed upon him healing powers. Not far from this town a gang of counterfelters were recently raided by a consublary squad. To conceal evidence the men threw their dies into a stream back of their shanty. Washerwomen later found one of the dies, and when they cleaned it they discovered the image of Maria Cristina, queen regent of Spain prior to King Alfonso's coming of age. The old woman conceived this image to be that of the Virgin, and soon a story was abroad that the die (of the true nature of which no one had the least conception, not even the local officials) had been miraculously hidden in the stream bed and that a great blessing would ensue from its discovery. From surrounding towns people by thousands began making pilgrimages to the fortunate village, to adore the image and receive its blessing. Society Suggestion I am obliged to a man named Cunningham for sending me a copy of a weekly newspaper printed in a town in the Southwest. It says the bachelors of the town had long been in the habit of attending social affairs given by the young married people, and caused a good deal of trouble. Several young couples separated as a result of "romance." Whereupon the young married men made a new ruling, and now the bachelors, when they long for society, find it among the unmarried. A married man, if disposed to flirt, finds a restraining influence in his wife, but a bachelor has no such handicap. I should say an old bachelor should be permitted no lady company save that of widows, who, of all women, are most capable in handling old bachelors.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. Woman's Many Honors Mrs. Arthur Strong, who recently retired from the post of assistant director of the British school in Rome, is said to possess honorary degrees from more universities and honors from more learned societies than any other woman in the world. Mrs. Strong has a worldwide reputation as an authority on art, ancient and modern. Great Users of Phones People in the United States certainly do talk. Now each man, woman and child on an average makes 182 phone calls during the year. Denmark, Norway and Sweden follow closely, while Russians on an average, only use the telephone once in three months. Rubbing It in One of the best ways to make men appreciate woman's labor would be to set aside a Husband's Laundry week during roasting-ear time. — Toledo Blade. THE WEEKLY ANNOUNCER OF FIRST A. M. E.

Brooks was returned to First Church. Dr. Broks made a fine report and received a great ovation from the conference. Sunday school was not so well attended Sunday for the same reason as the attendance of the regular services. Allen League had their regular program at 6 p. m. First church should start off with the conference year with a rousing attendance and each one come with the spirit of the Master. Class meeting tonight (Friday) come and add your bit to the cause of Christ. Prayer meeting Sunday morning at 5:30. First Church always has a cordial welcome to strangers and visitors. Long Journey for Nothing This is the story of an absent-minded professor. But among stories about absent-minded professors it must hold high place. The professor is J. P. Aderman. He teaches at the University of Sidney, in Australia. Recently he arrived in London as one of the delegates to the congress of the empire universities. Then Professor Aderman discovered an error. At first he was slightly puzzled, then alarmed and then probably as humorously embarrassed as it is good for a man ever to be humorously embarrassed. He found that he had miscalculated by a year the opening of the universities' congress and that it will not open till June, 1926. Professor Aderman traveled 24,000 miles before he discovered his error. Vets Plant Memorial Trees One hundred and sixteen new members of the American Tree association at Washington have been registered, following a tree planting on a memorial walk, by the United States Veterans' hospital, No. 100, Battie Creek, Mich. Among others, trees were planted for President Coolidge, General Pershing, Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Harding, Robert E. Lee, General Miles, Clara Barton, Mabel Boardman, Abraham Lincoln, Joyce Kilmer. Plans for the tree planting were directed by Emma L. Kotz and Dr. William M. Dobson. The tree association sends tree-planting instructions and tree-day programs for a stamp to pay postage. The memorial walk is of silver maples. Does Active Work at 88 R. R. Woodring of Nampa, Idaho, cannot play golf like the senior Rockefeller, but upon the occasion of the oil magnate's recent birthday when he played a round of golf and got much publicity, Mr. Woodring pointed out to the newspaper reporters that he himself of similar age, was quite active. He mowed the lawn while the reporters stood by recording the proof. Mr. Woodring mows grass for eight to ten hours daily as a regular vocation.—Chicago Post. Iceland's Woman Editor Miss Inga L. Larusdottir is the only woman editor in Iceland. She edits the one woman's paper in that little country. It is published under the unusual title of the Nineteenth of June, because its first issue appeared on June 19, 1915, to celebrate the enfranchisement of women in Iceland.

THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE After a large. prayer meeting at 6 a. m., Metropolitan Baptist Church had successful meetings, Sunday, September 20. At 11 a. m., Pastor Bronson introduced a fine preacher from Pennsylvania, who preached a very good sermon on, "A Wonderful Discovery." His text was "We have found the Measiah." Many Christians enjoyed his discourse and gave vent to their feelings. When the invitation was extended, some united with the church. Dr. Davis, one of the trustees, after the general collection, led a special collection for the two lots east of the church. We had large attendance at the Sunday School, also at the B. Y. P. U. At 8 p. m., another visiting minister, Rev. Prince of Cleveland, O., was present and our pastor asked him to preach. He has charge of the late. Rev. Fishback's church of 6,000 members. He took for his text Is. 32:2 and his theme was, "Christ is our Refuge." He showed that the church is the same as it was when Jesus was here on earth; and repeated the same our publicity committee writes so often on the sidewalks, that is, "God is ommipresent." He showed conclusively that Christ is a rock of defense, and that God is present everywhere His wife, Mrs. Prince sang sweetly and intelligently before the sermon and after the sermon. After collectios were taken up for two different visiting preachers, it was found the collection for our weekly expense was over $104. Next Sunday, Sept. 27, Pastor Bronson will preach two special sermons. One will be on "Divine Healing." Come hear these sermons. Come to prayer meeting at 6 a. m. All are welcome to all services at Metropolitan church. STATEMENT OF THE OWNERSHIP, MANAGEMENT, CIRCULATION, ETC, REQUIRED BY THE ACT OF CONGRESS OF AUGUST 24, 1912.

Butterwick, a justice of the peace of Quindaro township of Wyandotte County, Kansas. Charles Tull, Plaintiff. vs. Dewey Hawkins and Mrs. Dewey Hawkins, Defendants. To the above named defendants: You are hereby notified that you have been sued in the above named court, and that unless you appear and answer the bill filed against you on or before the 14th day of October, 1925, evidence will be introduced on said bill, and a judgment rendered thereon, for the sum of money prayed therein, and for the costs of this action. And the attachment on your goods will be sustained and the goods sold at constable's sale, to satisfy said attachment in the sum of three hundred dollars, made September the 10th, 1925, on the order of H. R. Butterwick, justice of peace, in Wyandotte County, Kans. Attorney for Plaintiff. (First Published·Sept.·18-1925.) "A remarkable change is appearing in the cemeteries and on the memorial stones of America as a result of the efforts of memorial dealers to incorporate art in design," says Prof. W. H. Varnum of the department of applied arts in the University of Wisconsin. "We are trying to get away from the lack of beauty of the older cemetery monument," says Professor Varnum, "by eliminating the unnatural looking granite blocks with heavy bases. Monument experts are trying to make cemeteries more like parks with memorials that harmonize with nature. "Memorials in the future will be personalized. Line rather than elaborate floral design will characterize the deceased person. A successful scientist's memorial, for example, should be a slim obelisk, showing the successful termination of a strong life that has led in one direction." Symbolic lines also would suggest the youth rather than an ornamental design which "slops over" in taste and sentiment. The youth's memorial would likely be tapered but not pointed, so as to suggest an abrupt ending of a young life. It would be of lighter material and with a small base. A mausoleum, according to Profes sor Varnum, should be simple in line and set apart from the surrounding memorials so as to give it an adequate setting. The overuse of elaborate floral design has been due, in part, he points out, to the process of sandblasting for enrichment of the plumb stone. The process has been cheap and has therefore been used to excess. The former demand for huge blocks of granite has been due, in part, to the effort of dealers to give as much for the money as possible. In many cemeteries now the authorities are formulating and enforcing regulations as to the design and size of memorials and causing their height to correspond to the immediate surrounding topography. What Makes Grapes "Wild"? Robert, the young son of Sheriff Burns of Petersburg, was present during a conversation between his mother and some friends, who were discussing the merits of the wild grape for ples, jelly, etc. With a puzzled expression on his face, he said: "Mom, what kind of grapes are wild grapes?" Mother Burns explained to him that wild grapes grew in the woods and were much smaller than "tame" grapes, whereupon Robert again asked: "Will the wild grapes run away from you when you go after them, and will the tame grapes come to you when you call them?" It was then that mother realized how utterly futile her attempts to make clear to her son why the wild grape was called "wild."—Indianapolis News. Why He Likes Knickers "I've finally decided that knickers are a practical garment for men," declared a golfer. "I wore an old pair today and just before I started out I bought several new balls, tendered a bill in payment and received some silver in change. This I thrust into my pocket. There happened to be a hole in this pocket and when I came in I reached down for the change. It was gone. Now, if I had been wearing long trousers I'd have lost that money. But, since I wore socks outside my knickers, all I had to do was to search the proper sock. And there was my money. That's why I'm so certain that knickers are a very practical garment." Ireland and Egypt The term "Dominion" is applied generally to the self-governing British possessions beyond the seas, although the word does not in all cases form part of their names. In the case of Canada the word is part of the name, but such is not the case, for instance, of the Union of South Africa, or the Commonwealth of Australia, nor is it the case of the Irish Free State, and yet they may all be referred to as dominions. On November 18, 1914, a British protectorate was declared over Egypt, and the khedive assumed the title of sultan. In March, 1922, Egypt was declared to be an independent kingdom. Miami's Building Record More houses per capita were erected in Miami, Fla., last year than in any city in the country. An average of one dwelling for every five families is the record for the southern city. Figures collected by the United States Labor department show 2,248.9 families provided for to every 10,000 population, which is referred to by the Washington experts as a phenomenal ratio of house construction. For the three years prior to 1924 Long Beach on the California coast held the honor of being the most ambitious homebuilding center in the country. New Way to Purify Water Two scientists in Paris recently dropped a bottle containing chloride of lime in a vessel of impure water. The bottle was corked tightly so that its contents could not come in contact with the water. Yet 24 hours later, when the bottle was taken, out, 25 per cent of the microbes in the water had been killed. An explanation advanced is that the antiseptic gives off rays that attack microbes, just as ultra-violet rays do, says Popular Science Monthly.

Kit (4's) #1 All Drogists or Sany Kid Dep., A. 99 Beckman St., New York Writs for Circular THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE Well to Inculcate Pride in Ancestry It is urged in defense of the lowly and In disparagement of the well born that a man cannot select his ancestors, but as a matter of fact a man frequently does. ARMAGEDDON NA TO CONJURE Few Spots Richer toric Association Take the case of the man whose great-great-great-grandsire was a noted general. This man had two grandfathers, four great-grandfathers, eight great-great-grandfathers and 16 great-great-great-grandfathers, of whom the general was one. Each of the 16 had a wife, so that the man's cosmos contains but one thirty-second part of the general. When blood gets so thin it leaves little trace, and yet this man selects the general as his ancestor and says nothing of the others. The reason is obvious. The others were nobodies. We have, then, a man who is one part general and 31 parts nobody; and yet in many ways he seems to be the general come to life again. He has the general's pride and manners and love of decency. At first glance this seems a puzzle, but the solution is simple. The general, being the one ancestor that family pride cares to remember, has been talked about and presented to children as a model for many generations. The gentleman is like the general because the general was used as a pattern in shaping his life. The general's pride that he seems to inherit is not an inheritance. It is a homegrown pride, based on the fact of the general. The man says to him self: "I am descended from a general; that's who I am." Wherefore he carries his head high and looks the world in the face. But if there was no blood connection, and the man merely thought there was, his pride would be no less. Which brings us at last to the point: "As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he." The well born have a tremendous advantage merely because they have something to live up to. And parents render a genuine service when they forget the nobodies on the family tree and preserve the few somebodies to inspire the kids. An ancestor is worth while if he can stiffen the backbone of a modern who might not be worth a whoop without family pride to keep him decent and set him a mark.—Baltimore Sun. Fast Travel to India All-steel airplanes now under construction in London will make the trip from England to India, roughly 8,000 miles as the crow would fly, if he were able to accomplish it. In three days and some odd hours, according to recent announcement of the British air ministry under whose supervision the machines are being built. The specifications provide that the planes be equipped with three motors developing 2,000 horse power, and it is hoped they will be able to accomplish 100 miles an hour and possibly even a greater speed. A crew of four or five will operate each machine, which will carry 20 to 25 passengers. It is proposed that these giants of the air travel day and night, there being sleeping accommodations, and hot meals by means of an electric cooker. Praises American Charity The adoption of modern farm machinery in Mesopotamian wheat fields, where sickles and fails were in vogue only a year ago, is only one of many evidences of the Americanization of Bible lands, according to Dr. Isaac Yonan, a native Assyrian who won the title of the "Hoover of Persia" for his food economy campaign in that country during the armistice period. Doctor Yonan, in a report to the International Near East association, says that American agricultural methods as taught in the farm schools of the Near East relief during the past few years have begun to show results all over Armenia, Greece and Syria. "American charity has been a social and educational force of tremendous power in these countries," he declares. Unsolved Mystery "As I was coming back from Chickatanzy," in the crossroads store related Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. I seed an old feller with a gun across his lap setting on a specially big post in a wire fence. When I came along he just looked me over like a body does a shout he alms to buy, and then without saying anything he glanced away and along the road I'd just come over." "What was his notion in acting that a-way?" asked the proprietor of the emporium. "I hain't the least idy in the world. He didn't 'pear to be the kind of agent that I wanted to pry into his business."—Kansas City Star. Electricity and Growth Tests with 1,000-watt electric lamps at the Cambridge (Mass.) Electric Light company have shown astonishing results in the growth of grass by artificial light, says the Popular Science Monthly. Dr. Andreas F. Christian of Boston claims that build heads may be covered, beards coaxed on clean-shaven faces, and bolbed hair grown long in a short time, by use of strong artificial light. The only requisite in the cases of both lawns and heads, he says, is that the germ of life must exist. American Woman Honored Aramerican Woman Honored Mrs. Helen S. Wright of Pittsfield, Mass., has been elected a fellow in the Royal Geographic society of London, an honor regarded as the highest in its field, in recognition of her writings and research on Arctic and Antarctic exploration and history. Few Spots Richer in Historic Associations. In this day of fascinating exploits in historic places there is scarcely a more interesting undertaking, or one with richer promises of results, than the surveys and excavations which are about to be made at Armageddon. For centuries that resounding name has been of both practical and mystical significance, for its historic associations and for its apocalyptic reference, while its dramatic injection 13 years ago into our political vocabulary invested it with vital interest to multitudes to whom it had thitherto been little more than half-forgotten fiction. "The Mountain of Megiddo" was a city west of the Jordan which was rebuilt by King Solomon, probably after its destruction by the armies of one of the pharaohs, and it is entirely possible that exploration of the site will disclose ruins and records of first-rate importance. But even greater interest attaches to the adjacent plain of Esdraelon, to which indeed the name of Armageddon has often been applied, and which is one of the most famous battlegrounds of the world. It was there that Barak overthrew and destroyed Sisera and his army, and that Gideon vanquished the Midlanites. It was also there that Saul was finally defeated and slain by the Phillistines, and that Joslah met a like fate at the hand of Pharaoh Necho of Egypt. On the height overlooking it at the west Elijah fought with the prophets of Baal the great "Battle of the Gods," and across it Jehu drove for the conquest of Jezreel and the kingdom of Israel. There occurred one of the greatest conflicts of the Crusades, and there the armies of Napoleon fought. And finally, in the present day, it was the scene of General Allenby's overwhelming victory over the Turks, which ended their dominion in Palestine. The site of the city and its immediate environs has been known by many names. Herodotus called it Magdolon. The Egyptians called a place in that vicinity Taanach, in modern times known as Taannuk. The ancient Legeon, since called Lejjinn, has been thought to be identical with Megiddo itself, and it has been called by the Arabs Ras el-Kishon, meaning head of the brook Kishon; and it has long been known to possess well-preserved remains of buildings of great size and magnificence. The entire region, indeed, is invested with history and tradition surpassed by few spots in the world, and it is cause for rejoicing that American scientific explorers are at last to reveal the treasures of ancient information which probably lie thick beneath its soil. Philippine Paternalism Recently there came to Manila, on a boat bringing shell from Bohol, an unusually intelligent youth with some high school education. The company buying the shell wished to employ him, with a view to raising him eventually to an important position. He could not accept the offer, however, "until I return to Bohol and get the consent of my amo (master), so that he will not flog me. I did not tell him I would stay in 'Manila." In Visayan native culture, expressed in Such customary law, deliberate offense to one in authority over you is very grave. It is under such rigid mandate that the coastal barter is safely carried on; the same thing perpetuates the good character of Filipino sailors in the ocean trade. Grecian Boy Scouts The organization of the boy scout movement as an educational force among the children of 2,500 new refugee villages throughout Greece has been approved by the ministry of education. Initial plans call for the recruiting of 25,000 scouts. An appropriation of 10,000 drachmans by the Near East relief will be used to provide uniforms and equipment for a model troop in one of the Athens refugee camps, and it is expected that the American gift will be followed by many similar donations from wealthy Greeks and Armenians. The model troop will consist of picked Armenian boys under fourteen years of age. It will travel to various parts of Greece as a recruiting force. Waterproofing Golf Clubs A new process for treating wooden golf clubs makes them waterproof and extremely hard, according to the Popular Science Monthly. Heads of seasoned persimmon wood are subjected to a vacuum that extracts every particle of air and moisture from the wood, which then is impregnated with the newly discovered chemical. The club heads then are dried and hardened. Clubs treated in this manner are said to have greater driving power than other wooden clubs and not to shrink or expand with varying atmospheric conditions. Lizard Skins in Demand Lizard farming in England has been greatly stimulated within the last few months since the skins for women's shoes have become fashionable. Lizard shoes for street wear have become popular in London this summer and lizard slippers for evening wear have been the find for some weeks. Dealers say lizard skin shoes are here to stay, as the material is serviceable and comfortable and not nearly so expensive as is usual when a new idea is introduced. Lizard skin shoes retail in London at from $15 up.

These flowers are still considered a luxury by the Chinese, and Sir John Davis, describing a feast given to him at Shanghai, mentions a ragout of dog roses dressed whole.

Scientists on Track of Early Polynesians Scientists are studying evidences of a Polynesian race antedating any known today, . A representative of the Bishop mu- seum of Honolulu Is making researches among the old Marae, or stone plat form and pyramids on the {sland: of Tahiti, which served as temples and places of sacrifice In ancient times. These have-been found In the Interior of the Island, now an uninhabited wil- derness, but In former times evidently largely Inhabited. Two of these Marae, recently found, are of a different type from the others on the inhabited 1s- lands of Polynesia, The only other places where this type of temple has been discovered are two desolate is- lands to the north of the Hawallan group. : Scientific opinion Is inclined to hold that the rare form of Marae points-to @ more ancient race, driven Inland. by a conquering wave of Polynesians.
