KANSAS PULLMAN PORTERS APPEAL TO CRAFT TO KEEP SHY OF A.F.L PULLMAN PORTERS APPEAL TO CRAFT TO KEEP SHY OF A.F.L LET US NOT SELL OUR BIRTH- RIGHT FOR A MESS OF POTTAGE To the 17,000 colored employees of the Pullman Company, Fellow workers: Referring to the efforts of the American Federation of Labor (using one of your own race as a paid tool) to unionize porters and other Negro employees of the Pullman Company, the following words of friendly caution are sincerely offered in order that you may not be deceived by the voice of Jacob and the hands of Essu. Our most valuable asset, proved by 57 years association, is the good will and helping hand of the Pullman Company, which has aided wonderfully in the progress of our race. Would it not be foolish to trade that valuable asset for some extravagant promises made by an irresponsible stranger? Because of our long unbroken friendly association with the company we have come to feel that the position of Pullman porter belongs to our race. Let us not jeopardize our inheritance to that position. Let us not sell our birthright for a mess of pottage. Let us not betray our best friends, or change the long existing friendly relations for those of antagonism. Let us not change our old friends whom we know for new friends whom we do not know, or become the dupes of those whose smile is malice ill concealed. How does it come about that the American Federation of Labor, which for long years scorned affiliation with us and spat upon us, is now so anxious to bring us into camp? I will tell you "how come." Negro workmen from the farms and cotton fields of the south, have during and since the world war, invaded the industrial sections of the north by the thousands. They have entered into direct competition with white unionists for attractive jobs, and being independent workers free from the restrictive rules of unionism which would have held them back, have proved their efficiency and progressed rapidly in the positions which they obtained. Now the American Federation of Labor fearing such unfettered competition, seeks to bring these colored workers into camp, where they will be kept under the control of restrictive union rules governing indentured apprenticeships, or working as common laborers, so that their progress will be checked, and having been reduced to the dead level of mediocrity they will cease to be competitors for good jobs. The porters are merely an incident in this conspiracy, the plot being to corral all of the colored workers and force them into subsidiary affiliation with the American Federation of Labor, where being in a hopeless minority without voice, influence or power, they will be relegated to the back seats while the white unionists gather in the plums. Let us not turn over our money to these who will put ropes around our necks and lead us into the corral where we will be put under the yoke and forced into submission to the will of the American Federation of Labor, so that we may not hereafter compete against white unionists for lucrative jobs. Beware of the Greeks bearing gifts and of the snare laid for the feet of the unwary. Let us view with suspicion the baits that are set to trap us into an ignominious position and laugh to scorn their exaggerated promises which they are powerless to fulfill. If there is anything wrong in our working conditions, we can adjust them in a friendly spirit through our joint committees in friendly negotiations around the conference table and can settle them with justice to all concerned, and we do not need the uninvited interference of radical outsiders who know less about our problems than we do and are less capable to solve them. Let us remain true to the traditions of our race, taking as our motto—fidelity, loyalty and justice, and in- THOMAS KENNEDY EDITOR AND PUBLISHER A WONDERFUL DAY WITH THE OLD PEOPLE Nearly 100 men and women attended the annual Old Folk's Day services at the First A.

Merchants in the cotton states are complaining because the imported Mexican cotton pickers are hoarding their wages instead of spending fully at commissaries and general stores. stead of plotting against our company under the leadership of paid labor agitators, let us work with and for our company and maintain the proud record of fidelity that we have built up during all these years.

JACK FROST RED DYE YELLOW DYE ORANGE DYE BROWN DYE (Copyright, W. N. U.) AN APPEAL FOR CIVILIZATION (Editorial in "The State," Columbia, S. C.) Commenting on the recent barbarous action in Union County, Mississippi, where a Negro was burned at the stake, The Weekly Times, a Negro newspaper, published at Memphis, makes this appeal for protection and justice: "We do not condone crime. We want to see every criminal punished to the limit of the law, regardless of color; but we do want punishment meted out by law, the courts. We appeal to the best blood of the South for protection and justice. We appeal to the thousands of white ministers for condemnation of such acts. We appeal to the governor and all officers of the law for punishment of the guilty. We appeal to every agency for making sentiment, that the ends of justice may be served, and that right quickly. "This act does not and can not meet the approval of all the white people of Mississippi. There is pity, there is shame and there is passive condemnation; but these will not remedy the condition. There must be an active program to the end-that such deeds may not occur again, not only in the State of Mississippi, but in the bounds of this great nation." That appeal must be heard and heeded. What is at stake here is not the lives of the few persons who may be annually done to death by mobs in savage frenzy, but the character of the people; the reputation of a section whose governors claim civilization and capacity for orderly government. Acts like that in Union County, Mississippi, bring shame and degredation upon the whole South. If they are to cease public opinion in the South must everywhere cease to be passive. Press and pulpit must perform their parts, actively and vigorously: As the Memphis paper says, "There is pity—there is shame and there is passive condemnation, but these will not remedy the conditions." Only the fear of punishment impresses the barbarous, and punishment of lynchers is only possible where public opinion holds those charged with the operation of the machinery of the law responsible for its proper execution. When a human being is burned at the stake and the criminals escape punishment, the county and state in which the crime occurs are blackened in reputation, but they are not the only sufferers. It is a blow against the whole South, and the whole South should protest. And the time to effectively fortify our states against the possibility of such occurrences as that in Union County, Mississippi is now. It cannot be said in any state, "We are holier than thou," until so strong a sentiment for law is known to exist there that we can have faith in its dominating influence. Actually, the appeal above is not in behalf of Negroes but of the governing whites of the South. There's the degradation and shame. ADVOCATE REV. C. E. BROOKS APPOINTED TO ST. PAUL, WICHITA Rev. C. E. Brooks, who has pastored First A. M. E. church, Eighth street and Nebraska avenue; for two years, has been appointed to St. Paul Church, at Wichita, Kansas, conference, and was royally received last Sunday by the officers and members of the leading church in the Kansas conference. Dr. Brooks and his very excellent Christian wife made many warm and substantial friends in the two years here and their prayers and good wishes will go with them in their new field of labor. Dr. Brooks put on some very helpful business programs while here and among them was the budget system. St. Paul with its fine membership may feel proud in getting a minister of such fine Christian principles. A man whose character stands above reproach. Dr. Brooks and his wife will leave next week for their new field. They will drive through in their car. YOU CAN GET THE ADVOCATE FROM NOW UNTIL JANUARY 1, 1927, FOR $1.50.

New York, October 15.That colored automobile mechanics and general hands are coming into their own in New York is shown by the fact that nearly 17 per cent of the skilled workers employed in automobile storage houses and repair shops are colored mechanics, helpers, chauffeurs, floormen, and general garage workers. While painters, machinists, installators, and electricians are as yet scarce among race workers in New York's great automobile plants and garages, there is steady advancement and increased inclusion of colored hands in the general trades common to the storing and repairing of autos. INSURANCE COMPANIES FINANCE FARMERS. Washington, October 15. Life insurance companies have been one of the largest factors in financing agriculture for many decades. They are estimated to hold at present about 20 per cent of all farm mortgages. In 1914 their outstanding farm mortgage loans amounted to $647,000,000. By September, 1924, the total had amounted to no less than $1,781,000,000. In seven years from 1914 to 1921, the farm loans of insurance companies for the first time exceeded their loans on city property. By supporting the life insurance companies owned and controlled by members of our racial group we shall soon have resources upon which we can draw to finance our own homebuying and building. Fall Coloring SUBSCRIPTION PRICE TWELVE MONTHS, $1.50 WHY CINCINNATI WOMEN WEEP When the veteran editor, Phil Dabney of the Cincinnati "Union" wrote his classic: "Is Love Dying", he brought tears to the eyes of the bobbed hair Walnut Hill beauties by saying that "The hair, woman's crowning glory, is now so short that cranial lumps and bumps are plainly perceptible. The man whose hand has lovingly, lingeringly and consolingly caressed and stroked the charming tresses that formerly rippled earthward, now keeps his hands away from that bony poll, partly hidden in the remnants left by the busy barber." Editor Dabney has shocked his many Washington friends, none of whom noticed his aversion to the bobbed hair type during his recent visit here. Probably the barbers in Washington are more expert than those in Cincinnati, or the absence of cranial lumps and bumps here may be due to the fact that this is a more peaceful city. However, striking charming tresses will continue to be the favorite pastime if not the chief occupation of the males' in this city of calm repose and beautiful bobbed hair Cleopatras, regardless of Editor Dabney's distribe. CITIZENS $ ^{1} $ FORUM The Citizens' Forum had a very instructive program Sunday at Metropolitan church. The Civic League with Judge Bradley, acting president did well. Attorney ..... gave a good address, and Dr. S. H. Thompson gave a fine address also. Prof. Hodge explained excellently why Sumner High School was not built larger, was because there was not enough bond money voted. President Harris attended the Forum fine, also the publicity committee, pianists, etc. We invite all other officers and members and friends to crowd the Forum if you want to learn something. COLUMBIAN BRIEFS A school for the training of colored librarians has been established at Hampton Institute. The best obtainable statistics show that the average weekly attendance at picture theatres is 50,000,000, and that admissions paid anuually total about $500,000,000. In Fort Worth, Texas, the Mothers' Club is cooperating with the teachers and board of education in an eofrt to increase the school attendance of colored children. Mrs. Fitchue is reported sick. Mrs. W. Dwiggins is reported being sick. Mrs. M. C. Matthews was taken in Mr. Geo. McClelland's limousine to the Annual Dinner Sunday, and wrote a poem in 15 minutes. CHILD LABOR BILL PASSED IN GEORGIA CHILD LABOR BILL PASSED IN GEORGIA GEORGIA LEGISLATURE DEFEATS COMPULSORY EDUCATION BILL. Washington, October 15.—Although the Georgia legislature recently passed a new Child Labor Law, which becomes effective January 1, 1926, a proposed compulsory education bill, which would have raised present standards, was defeated. The new Child Labor Bill applies to mills, factories, laundries, manufacturing establishments, and workshops—the same establishments as were covered by the former law except that "workshops" are added, and "places of amusement," formerly included, are omitted. The new statute eliminates the exemption under which orphans and children of widowed mothers were formerly permitted to go to work at 12 years of age on special permits and fixes the minimum age at 14. The night-work prohibition (between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.,) is extended to cover children up to 16 instead of only $14\frac{1}{2}$ years of age, but the law makes no provision as to maximum hours of labor. Except for this night-work prohibition, and a "sunrise to sunset" provision applies to persons under 21 in factories other than cotton and woolen mills. In the legal hours for children are the same as those for adults—a maximum 60-hour week, with certain exceptions, in cotton and woolen mills. With no restriction on daily hours. And no restriction on either daily or weekly hours of employment in non-factory work. Children between 14 and 16, instead of only those between 14 and $14\frac{1}{2}$ years of age, must obtain employment certificates, and improvements are made in the certification system. Before receiving a certificate a child must present a promise of employment, specified proof of age, and evidence satisfactory to the issuing officer that he is able to read and write simple sentences in English; the certificate must show that he is physically fit to follow the employment he seeks to obtain. It is provided that a like certificate shall be issued in cases of employment of children between 16 and 18 years of age. The work of children under 16 in specified dangerous occupations, or in any place or occupation declared by the State Board of Health to be dangerous to life or limb or injurious to the health or morals of children under 16, is prohibited. The new law is of vital importance to the parents and guardians of the thousands of Negro children who are attending school or seeking gainful employment in Georgia, notwithstanding the fact that the compulsory education bill, which they needed far more, was defeated.

Let Us Print Your Sale Bills of Woman Suffrage Representatives of women's organizations in Norway recently gathered together to pay tribute to the memory of the birth, 100 years ago, of Aasta Hansteen, one of the pioneers of the woman's movement in that country and a personality so original that she has been the model for Norwegian dramatists and sculptors. Aasta Hansteen was the gifted daughter of Prof. Christopher Hansteen of the University of Oslo (formerly Christiania). A university career was at that time unthought of for a woman, and the only career which was deemed possible for a woman was art, writes the Oslo correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor. Aasta Hansteen therefore became a painter and studied at Copenhagen. Duesseldorf and Paris, but she soon left painting for literature and also to work for the liberation of womanhood in her country. Her point was that woman as well as man is created in God's image and this she argued with her seemingly narrow-minded contemporaries. Austa Hansteen lectured publicly on this favorite idea of hers and people scorned her and ridiculed her. In those days it was an unheard-of thing for women to speak in public and the doors of her friends and relatives therefore became closed to her. It was then that she felt she must leave her native land and she went to the United States, where she stayed in Boston for nine years between 1880 and 1889. Meanwhile Norwegian women became active, suffrage clubs and societies were formed and when Asta Hansteen heard of what was going on she returned to Norway, radiating with zest and in fighting mood. When the woman's suffrage movement was progressing Asta Hansteen became less militant, and when she heard in 1907 that women had got the vote she took the news at first with an impressive silence. Later she said. "Remember that the woman's movement- goes further than to get the vote; it aims at the spiritual liberation of all humanity." It now seems hardly possible that fifty years ago a woman was outlawed in Norway because she spoke in public. Progress certainly seems to have been rapid. Ship Builders' Problems It is not generally realized that an Atlantic liner of 20,000 tons, although perfectly suitable for its own regular voyage, would be unsuitable for trips to Australia or India, unless it traveled by way of the Cape. It is the Suez canal that makes the difference. The cross-section of a boat using the Suez canal is roughly U-shaped, whereas an Atlantic liner's section is V-shaped. This difference is necessitated by the limitation which the depth of the canal imposes on ships using it. The difference in shape makes a difference in speed, for the V-shape is a factor in favor of speed. But even if the liners were of similar build, it is improbable that those sailing to Australia and India could compete in speed over a given mileage with their Atlantic rivals, because the colder water of the Atlantic is a great factor in favor of speed. It makes for better condensation than the warmer temperature of eastern waters.—London Tit-Bits. "All Out for Tea!" While on the subject of drink it is timely, to refer to the tea-drinking habit of the New Zealander. I don't know where he acquired it, but he has it bad. The trains stop at unexpected times in order that the passengers may rush out and get a cupful of tea, and thus prevent a horrid death by tea starvation. One day we had paused for a considerable time at a station and the conductor had sounded the bell and everybody piled on board. The signal to start was given, when an excited guard came galumphing down the platform. "The engineer hasn't had his tea!" he shouted. So we waited some minutes more while the engineer had his tea, after which, everybody happy, we proceeded on our way—John T. McCutcheon in International-Cosmopolitan. Washing Money An opportunity to see $5, $10 and $20 bills being washed and ironed was offered recently in a window of the McCullough-Whitfield store, Wilkinsburg, Pa., says Good Hardware. Electric washers and ironing machines were being demonstrated. A bank sent a sum of greasy old paper bills to be laundered. The washing and ironing machines did the rest. In a few minutes the grease had disappeared and in place of the soiled bills there was a roll of crisp, clean paper. A capacity crowd looked on. The sidewalk and the main alle of the store were jammed, so great was the interest in the laundering of paper money. The Pistol Cracked The runners were lined up, tense and eager. A deathlike hush gripped the people in the stands. The starter stood ready, with his gun raised above his head. "On your marks!" The runners crouched down. "Get set!" They leaned forward. The pistol cracked. They were off with a leap and down the track. But they had to be called back, because the pistol had cracked, and a new one had to be procured.—Kentucky Cardinal.

Get That Buyer cc Missionary Tells of Cold Spells in Alaska Watching the thermometer, shoveling, coal, and listening to one's breath crack as he breathes, are the exciting current events in the life of Rev. Robert R. Marquls, a missionary at Nenana, Alaska, according to a report received by the Presbyterian board of national missions. Mr. Marquls had been a Sunday school missionary in Wyoming, but took his wife and child to Alaska last summer, and now tells the board he likes his new work, despite the Arctic conditions. "We are experiencing some real Alaska weather," he writes. "It went down to 72 degrees below last night and has only warmed up to 60 below in the middle of the day, so we are spending most of our spare time carrying coal. When it goes down to between 40 and 50 below zero, a fog develops; that is, every bit of moisture freezes, and the colder it gets, the more fog, so that at night one can hardly see a light a block away. On the higher elevations they do, not have the fog. "The sled trail has drifted a good deal. On the last trip the mall stages had to break trail first, with one horse and then another, and then take the sled, which made slow going. On the outgoing trip they had a school teacher, a middle-aged married woman. She froze her nose. She was determined, however, to go to the next road camp, even though the driver wanted to return to the one he had left. "On the return trip he brought a young woman with a three-months-old baby. While the driver was breaking trail she would go along with a flashlight to show him where the trail was. She had the baby wrapped up in a rabbit-skin bag in the sled near a footwarmer, but it became too warm, so that she had to take some of its wraps off." Something Very Wrong "Dear," remarked Mrs. Roberts to her husband as he came in from business, mopping a heated brow. "I think you waste a terrible amount of money." Roberts spun round and regarded his wife with a look of deepest suspicion, while a gleam came into his eyes. "I waste money, my dear?" he queried. "Why, I have never wasted a cent in my life!" "Oh, yes, you have," answered his wife, while all the time Roberts' brow grew blacker. "That encyclopedia you bought on the installment plan last month is no good at all." "Oh, that!" laughed the husband, as his frowns vanished. "Well, what's wrong with it?" "I'll tell you," came his wife's confiding reply. "This morning I wanted to find out why it rains when there's a new moon." "Oh, and where did you look for that?" asked Roberts, a sinile hovering round his mouth. "I looked under 'Why,' of course, and I didn't even find the word there at all." Will Study Odd Race Strange midget people who live in the Kalahari desert, Beechuanaland, are the objective of a scientific expedition which has started from New York. The expedition consists of three Colorado anthropologists, who explain that as "the lowest people on earth the natives of the Kalahari bush offer a subject for study peculiarly fitting. Though these natives do not actually swing from trees, their resemblance to highly developed apes is remarkable. They are the only race on earth that have failed to acquire a single habit from white men." The anthropologists propose to spend a year among the small people, studying their customs, religion and daily life. Their practical immunity from western civilization the experts ascribe to the fact that in the wet season when reptiles and insects swarm, the desert is very difficult of access. While in the dry season water is almost impossible to obtain. Elocutionist's Finish Llewellyn Leggs, chief game proctor of New York, was condemning the brutes who poisoned thousands of fish in Congress lake. "I'd give those fellows," he said, "what Mrs. Malaprop proposed to give her daughter. "Your daughter recited "The May Queen" real well," the minister's wife said to Mrs. Malaprop at a strawberry festival. "Then she waved her hand and added: "‘Kind o’ finish her off, ye know.’" Warning to Writers All reading demands an effort. The energy, the good-will which a reader brings to the book is, and must be, partly expended in the labor of reading, marking, earning, inwardly digesting what the author means. The more difficulties, then, we authors obtrude on him by obscure or careless writing, the more we blunt the edge of his attention: so that if only in our own interest—though I had rather keep it on the ground of courtesy—we should study to anticipate his comfort.—A. Quiller-Couch. Mexican Drummers Favored Commercial travelers in Mexico are now being given a 25 per cent discount in railroad rates. THE KANSAS CITY ADVOCATE FLYING FLASHES To err is human; also to lie out of it. Sufficient unto the day is the evil of yesterday.

Duty takes a good deal of enjoyment out of existence. Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.—Moore. Successful life is doing the best you can with the circumstances.

Being tolerant toward opinions that you hate requires a strong sense of fair play. The worm turned and lost out, while the tortoise continued straight ahead and won out.

In this rich and well-ordered world, there are so few times that you can bestow a favor on anyone. Would Seem Last Word Mr. Harold J. Dartnall, a naval architect of Southampton, England, has invented a submarine investigator, a form of craft similar to a submarine. It is, however, much smaller, and can be constructed at a small cost. It possesses the power to run on the surface, to dive to any desired depth and run level there, and return to the surface at will. The necessary illumination for seeing objects at such depths will be provided by powerful electric lights on the outside of the "investigator." One for examining the suitability of the sea floor for resting, of course, be inside, and show through the glass observation floor at the bottom of the vessel. Telephone communication with the towing vessel will be provided. It is claimed that the craft will be of great value in obtaining marine photographs, specimens of life by means of trap nets, and in directing salvage operations beyond the depths at which divers can work. "Hungry Hearts" I had been writing and starving for years. My stories, which appeared in the magazines from time to time, had been gathered together and published in a book called "Hungry Hearts." Although reviewers praised it, my royalties were so small that it brought me little money and almost no recognition. People who read a book little know what small reward there is for the writer while he is still unknown—of his often solitary, starved existence. A book read in one evening may have taken the author years and years of the most agonizing toll to create—Auzia Yezierska, in Hearst's International-Cosmopolitan. Found Treasure in Dive One of several boys who went swimming in Dry creek, near Dobbins, Cal. diving to the bottom struck his head on a pall. With the aid of his companion he dived again and brought up the pall, which was found to be filled with nuggets and gold dust. On the side of the pall was the illegible name of a miner and the date "1808." The top of the pall was caked with dirt, holding the treasure intact.

Marital Maze Peter Jersen of Haumersmith, England, recently married Miss M. Chandler, whose sister and brother were married to the groom's brother and sister. Dinner Hostess Well Knows What That Means. The feelings of a hostess at a dinner party are much the same as those of a theatrical producer on the first night—a blend of hope and despair, of inward excitement and outward calm. In an inexperienced hostess this state of mind may continue throughout the evening; but an experienced woman can tell within the first ten minutes whether the party is going to be a success or not, Jan Struther comments sagely in the Washington Post. While the producer—lucky man—has many subsequent nights on which, if necessary, to improve the play, the hostess—poor woman—has no such chance; hers is a single performance, and it must stand or fall on its first merits. Oh, the joy, if she can say to herself: "It is going to go . . .." The wretchedness which she endures if she suddenly feels: "It isn't; these people won't mix. . .." "These people won't mix" is, of course, the root of the trouble. Far more dinner parties have been spoilt by unwise invitations than by ill-chosen food. Better, in fact, a poached egg on toast where good company is than stuffed qualls and boredom withal. And "good company" does not mean a company containing only interesting talkers, for then there will be nobody left to listen; nor must it consist entirely of witty people, for then there will be nobody left to laugh. It is all a question of careful composition. The hostess who prides herself on being able to draw up a perfect menu, neither too long nor too short, with dishes delicately contrasting, ought to spend even more time and trouble in drawing up her human menu, in which each guest will have a definite place, and will fill it to perfection. This is not cannibalism, but common sense, for different people bear a strong resemblance to different foods. There are some like roast mutton or apple dumplings—hearty and healthy, but filling at the price. There are some like roast beef—excellent on Sundays, but rather out of place on any other day of the week. There are some like curry—these generally have lived a long time in New York; and others like very thin consomme, almost too refined to be satisfying. Then there are the deviled-anchovy people; beware of them, for they bite when you least expect it; and the strawberry-ice people, sweet, yet frigid, all very well at dances, but unfriendly at other times. Finally, there is the type of guest who is like a souffle that has not quite come off—well meaning, but flabby and ineffective; discard that man from the list at once, or he will spoil the whole affair. Choose your human menu with care, oh, anxious hostess, and everything else will look after itself. Above all, do not forget, whatever you do, to include among your guests a sprinkling of those dear, delightful, humorous, inconsequent folk—they are not mentioned at all on the menu, yet what is a dinner without them—the salted almonds! Gathering of the Elders Seven customers were in the barber shop at Bowdoinham, Malne. They were Lorenzo Minot, ninety-one; Al Hillman, eighty-four; Emery Sedgelay, eighty-four; Will Brown, seventy-six; Fon Wood, seventy-six; Will Williams, seventy-one, and Captain Hall, eighty-one, when in walked a stranger. Nobody knew him. He started talking somewhat familiarly with the men present, and particularly with Fon Wood. Mr. Wood did not know the stranger until chance words revealed him as Mr. Wood's brother, Frank, who went away from Bowdoinham more than forty years ago, says the Boston Globe. Ten days before landing in Bowdoinham he had been in the saddle in California, working on a ranch. Every person present had been an old-time boyfriend with the exception of Captain Hall. The combined age of the eight men was 640, or an average of eighty years. Hunt Seals in Airplanes With the announcement that Murmansk's sealing season yielded 160,000 skins comes the suggestion of a scheme to use airplanes in seal hunting next season. Such hunting would mean hardships for the aviators, but is expected to increase the catch substantially. Cruising along the ice-covered shores of the White sea searching for the lurking places of seals is dangerous. Airplanes could do the scouting and locate the herds and the ship could then go directly to the place. The Soviet trade fleet has taken up the matter seriously and presented its plan to "Dohlolet," a volunteer aviation organization, with the request that it reply as to co-operating. New York's Sea of Milk A sea of milk was 'produced last year by the dairy farms of New York state' 6,900,000,000 pounds up to January 1—apparently from 1,395,000 cows and helfers more than two years old, says Caper's Weekly. New York is still the great dairy state; it has to be, for its cities, consume 5,100,000,000 pounds of milk annually.

These shovels are not meant for shoveling coal or sand, but for tough fobs, For Instance, cutting through frozen ground, tunneling in tough clay or digging postholes in “mean” soil. Indian Blood Strong in American History ‘That there is not a single old Amer- {can family which Is free from Indian blood is the statement of Edward WIl- lard Deming, painter and sculptor of the red man and his life and with whom he has ved In 20 different tribes, a Fairfield (Conn.) correspond: ent of the New York Times writes. At some time in every genealogy of the really old families we find inter- marriage with Indlans, Deming cla{ms. He assures that this did not tend to- ward the detriment of the famlly strain, and refused to let the children of such marriages be called “halt. breeds” with the popular connotation of something obnoxious. The conven- tional half-breeds, Deming sald, are not so much the product of intermar- riage as the result of conditions which force these children to mingle with the Indians. His Accomplishments Jenks raised a large family. He raised the rent for them every month. He raised a mustache. . He raised potatoes and onions in the back yard. He raised no objections to washing the dishes, handing over his salary to his wife, supporting his mother-in-law for six months in the yearror allowing Arthur, the Pekingese pup, to park in his pet Sunday chair.

Co-Operation in China "The remedy for the woes of China and the safeguard against these perlls are in principle simplicity itself, ‘Time and again it has been demonstrated that when‘the Chinese, whether In the capital or In the provinces, know that the powers are really earnest and united upon a commgn course of action, they bow without reserve to the de- mands made upor them. It is not creditable to the statesmanship of the principal powers concerned that they have not managed to preserve this Unity In essentials when dealing with China—London Times. Science Called On to Come to Nature’s Aid Some alarm has been caused recent- ly by the announcement that the Mat- terhorn is in a distinctly shaky condl- tlon, and may topple over into the Italian valley above which !t towers. Similar fears were entertdined some twenty years ago regarding the Rocher ue la Clusette, in the Jura, which then threatened to fall into the valley of the Areuse. Had this happened, the valley would have been blocked, and the flow of water, on which the dis- trict depended for its supply of elec- tricity, would have been stopped, Immediate action had to be taken to avert this.calamity, which would have plunged the countryside in darkness and disorganized its transport. En- gineers rushed to the spot, the moun- tain was shored up with concrete, and all was well once more. Tolle Not Abolished . Although tolls are no longer col- lected from people walking across Brooklyn bridge or from automobiles. all‘trolley cars and elevated trains that bass over the bridge still pay for the privilege.

Science Will Reveal Treasures of Earth The possibility of finding gold in tha earth by wireless Is foreshadowed by | Sir Robert N, Kotze, the well-known mining engineer. / Sir Ribert declares that in the fu- _ture~say, 100 or 200 years hence—the -sclence of geology will reveal the geol- ogy of the earth to a depth of a mile. | He believes that methods will be de- vised whereby geologists wil! be able to peep-into the crust of the earth. They had already succeeded in trans- mitting speech underground by wire- less, which meant that when wireless Waves were used the crust of the earth was transparent. Sir Robert suggests that an appa- ratus using such waves might be de- vised which could see into the earth, and what would be “opaque” would be ore deposits, and with a refinement of this principle the future geological prospector could determine the nature and the size of the deposits—London Answers, ~ Innocent “Burelars” A man passing the Wilson home In George street, Providence, R. I, at night observed a dim light within, As no one was supposed to be home, he halted, and when two figures glided by the light, he called the police, A squad surrounded the house, entered It and climbed all over it, but there was no burglar. The mystery was dispelled by an.inspector, He noted that a second floor room of the Hinckley home across the street bore a light and ‘that chil- dren were moving about the room. He explained that the light was be. ing reflected in a mirror In the Wilson home. The movements of the children, also shown in the mirror, were the “burglars.” 7 Noiseless Rubber Streets Some of our scientists continue to be more speculative than the widest ptophets, Prof. A. M. Low predicts a future which will Include nolseless rub- ber streets, moving sidepaths at the rate of 20 miles an hour, one meal a day only, trousered women, and “a mild oscillatory stimulant taken in a few moments” instead of sleep. Doctor Low speaks of “our universal longing for the future,” but who would long for the kind of future he foreshadows or threatens?—Westminister Gazette.
