Death Claimed Great Friend of Race Little Rock, Ask.-In the death of Dr. J. B. Gambrell, Baptist denomination has lost one of its most conspicuous figures, and the South one her most valuable citizens. Dr. Gambrelli was one great southern white man who arose above race prejudice, and had so much of the religion of of the Lord Jesus Christ in him, that he considered all as his brethren. He was a true fried to the Negro race, and during the time that he served as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, did all in his power to have that great organization to take hold of the hand of their weaker brother, and help him on his feet. Speaking on the race question several years ago, before ago, before the Mississippi legislature, he was quoted as saying "I would not strike a man under me, if I should kick a man, would select a governor, and not a man who could not help himself." He was a great preacher, and teacher, and took pride in saying that he learned to preach by preaching to a Negro congregation, in fact, he said that one of his first pastorates was a Negro church. The colored Baptists of this country share with their white brethren in grief that they feel in the lo's of that great man for he truly was a prince in Israel. Fight Twelve Bandits Single Handed: Rewarded For Bravery Chicago, Ill., July 8—In appreciation of the bravery of Policeman Albert McGruder of the Wabash Avenue station, who was shot last Friday night when he repulsed twelve bandits single handed, Harder's Fireproof storage and Van Company, 40thstreet and Calumet avenue, has forwarded a check for $100 to The Tribune and asked that it be given to McGruder "We want to compensate this officer for his bravery in taking the stand he did against twelve bandits," the letter reads, "We believe bravery of this kind should be rewarded. "McGruder, who is a Negro while in full uniform came upon two auto loads of men who the police believe, were about to blow a safe in the Herder warehouse. He gave bat le and was wounded in the leg, but is certain he shot at least one of the men before their escape. Murphsboro We wish to state in your excellent paper to the different S.

Mrs. Bettie Necley, died Thursday night after a long illness of a complication of diseases. Convicted by the Eibls. Law founded on the Bible is good enough for Mayor Gillmore of Morgantown, W. Va. A local man charged with not having the tail light burning on his automobile was arraigned before the mayor, who assessed a fine of $3. The accused protested, said it was a poor law under which he was fined and that he did not think it would hold water in court. The mayor declared any law founded on the Bible was good enough for him. The defendant said he couldn't see where a tail light had anything to do with the Bible. The mayor looked pityingly at the accused, and said: "Do you remember the tale about the ten virgins, five of whom had lights and five of whom didn't? Well, if you do, you will remember that the Lord wouldn't have anything to do with the five without lights, and neither will this court." Cotton Stalks Will Furnish Paper. The possibilities of cotton stalks as a source of paper have long been suspected and experiments in this direction have been made, but for one reason or another it has never proved quite practical. The nearest approach to success has been made recently, and it is announced that there is a plant at Greenwood, Mass., where 50 tons of paper are made every day from three times that amount of stalk. Certain thin tubular fiber in the plant will make excellent cellulose for durable papers. It is strong and flexible. If a quarter of the annual supply of the cotton stalks of the South were put to this use each year there would be no need of a paper shortage in this country. Reservation for Aborigines. The commonwealth of Australia has taken steps for the preservation of the ornithines of that country and has assigned a tract of public lands in the northern territories as reservation for the tribes. It includes the Mann and Peterson ranges and practically the whole of Lake Amadeus. The governments of South and Western Australia have set aside adjoining areas for the purpose of this reservation.

Canned, solidified, poison gas, which is claimed to be absolutely foolproof and mobile, has been perfected for use by the American soldier, according to Popular Mechanics Magazine. That two studies—defensive and offensive gas research—go hand in hand already has been demonstrated, for, in addition to the development of new forms of gas, army experts at the Edgewood (Md.) arsenal, have had to improve the gas masks to make them effective against some of the new gases brought into existence there. In technical military progress, every new weapon means a call upon the armorer for a new defense. As a result, this country today has not only gases which surpass anything used during the World war, but a mask which, in recent tests was worn 24 hours a day for a week, except at mealtime, without any discomfort whatever. Breathing was normal, speaking was simple, and it kept out all the gases thus far known. Women Smokers "Under Cover." The mystery of where women cigarette smokers obtain their supply is solved, in part at least, by an upstown druggist, who was asked why nearly all such stores keep their tobacco stands in inconspicuous places, says the New York Sun. He said the reason for doing so is because the druggists cater to women smokers, and this class is rather timid about purchasing in the open. The women, it seems prefer to glide back to some out-of-the-way corner, where nobody will see them. Of course, there are exceptions. Not Much of a Party. Not much of a Party.

Little Jean ate with the others but looked expectantly for something else. But nothing came. On the way home she volced her disappointment to mother.

Springfield, Ill., July 11. Gov. Small, breaking his silence of a week upon returning to the capital today, announced that he would call a special session of the Legislature, between November 15 and December 15 and strike at the "schemes and slanders of the character assassins"' responsible for the grand jury investigation of the state treasury which began today. Drastic tax collection laws and a law giving local option on transportation were mentioned as part of the special program. The Sangamon County grand jury went into special session at 1:45 this afternoon in preparation for the investigation of the state treasury as demanded by the Attorney General Brundage "The schemes and slanders of the character assassans who are the traction barons, and those who have been prevented by my veto from looting the state treasury," Gov.

"I have succeeded in reducing the cost of roads many thousands of dollars a mile and have vetoed $7,000,000 in appropriations, cutting out items which were not necessary to the welfare of the state. "For the purpose of giving the General Assembly an opportunity to enact revenue legislation which will force the rich tax dodger, who conceals his property, to pay his share, and to enact legislation which will give the people of Chicago, or any contiguous transportation district of the state, the right to determine by their vote whether they shall own and operate their own street railways at a 5 cent fare, I propose to convene the General Assembly in extraordinary session between November 15 and December 15 next." Announcement that Attorney General Brundage would not return to Springfield until late today delayed the start of the grand jury investigation until 4 o'clock, when State Treasurer E. E.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhaj deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy.

Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL USEFUL SERVANT OF MANKIND Hard to Say What the World Would Do If Deprived of Carbonic Acid Gas. The American constitution is now in a fair way to become saturated with carbonic acid gas. Reference is not made to the document signed by the forefathers, but to the constitution that gets run down every spring and has to be perked up with cod liver oil. Well, it won't be as bad as it sounds. Carbonic acid gas is quite harmless. It's made from coke, and it is probably the most versatile servant that mankind has. It's like those medicines that the almanacs say are good for everything. It can put a kick in your ice-cream soda, or your lemon phosphate. It's in all fire extinguishers. It's used to harden steel. It's used in making sugar, to remove the lime from the juice of the cane. It's a refrigerating agent and also is used in making bicarbonate of soda, the substance one takes for heartburn. And it forms one of the chief curative agents used in the baths at such resorts as Neheim in Europe and Saratoga in this country. Manufacturers of carbonic gas in this country report that they have doubled their output in the last year because of the increased demand for carbonated beverages, or "soft drinks." At present in round numbers, carbonic acid gas enters into 375,000,000 gallons of beverages in the United States. Figuring on sixteen drinks from a gallon, you have 6,000,000,000 soft drinks as the approximate consumption a year. Sixty sodas apiece.—Chicago Journal. NEVER AGAIN FOR PLUMLEY Victim of Unkind Suspicious Will Carry No More Stuff Home to Obligate the Wife. Mr. Plumley was embarrassed and well might he be. For the suitcase he was carrying had sprung a leak! And as he walked swiftly through the crowd on the street it seemed that everyone glanced down at the leather bag, and saw that something was wrong. Curses on that prohibition law! Ever since it had been passed people noticed any one who carried a package—especially a suitcase. A policeman eyed him suspiciously and Plumley hurried faster than ever, almost breaking into a run. He boarded a street car and placed the bag on the floor in front of him, trying to cover it with his feet as much as possible. It was useless. The stuff continued to trickle out and soon formed a miniature pool. Some of the red-nosed male passengers looked envious; straphangers saw it and smiled; even the ignorant-appering wop in the next seat looked wise! But all Plumley could do was to turn several colors and wish them all in hades! In something like a year the car arrived at his suburban home. "Were you able to get any?" asked his wife at once. "Yes," said Plumley, throwing the suitcase to the floor with a bang, "plague take 'em! Those are the last oysters I'll ever carry home!" Autolata Blame Potato Bugs. Potato bugs are speed foes in south Jersey, say the motor drivers who have investigated the reason for the skidding of automobiles on apparently dry roads. They declare that the trouble has been caused by potato bugs migrating from one field to another and crossing the roads in the paths of their machines. Automobiles are exterminating about as many of the pests as the usual application of poison sprays, as the latter have washed off nearly as fast as they have been applied during the rainy weather. One farmer is said to have placed a motor horn in his spraying outfit. As he had previously trained his flock of geese to gobble up the potato beetles, he claims that the honking of the horn is quite effective in frightening the pests away. Beware Yellow Butterfly Beware Yellow Butterfly. The yellow butterflies which look harmless enough when flying around the garden are really danger signals to the cabbage grower, for these butterflies lay the eggs from which cabbage worms are hatched. To keep the worms away, begin dusting the cabbage plants when they are very small with air-slaked lime to which a little parts green has been added, or, better still, spray them with arsenate of lead, one pound to a gallon of water. There is absolutely no danger in using poison on young cabbages, as the beads grow from the inside, and the outer leaves on which the poison falls will later be removed. Uninterrupted Business. "I shall continue to direct our affairs from the jail," said the convicted grafter. "All right," replied the trusted lieutenant; "maybe in the course of time we can get enough prison reform to remodel jails so that they'll have elevators and telephone exchanges and all the conveniences of regular office buildings." Religions of the Future. "Don't you think we should let posterity pay our war debts?" "Possibly," replied Miss Cayenne. "It will at least prevent posterity from falling into any abject fallacy of ancestor worship." Boston Chamber Largest. With a membership of 7,300, the Boston chamber of commerce has become the largest commercial organization in the world. NOT MUCH OUT OF ORDINARY Intrusion of Leopard of Course Added Excitement to Tennis Game, but Otherwise—— A leopard—but let us begin at the beginning. Last year an Englishman, Dr. Chalmers Mitchell, flew from Cairo to Cupetown by plane. Among other places he landed at a little sett- ement in a British protectorate in Central Africa and spent a day and a night there. The Jungle was right at the doors of the white men's houses. So numerous were the wild beasts that the village seemed to be in the midst of a vast menagerie, and so bold and dangerous that men and women went armed even by day. At night they kept indoors. While Doctor Mitchell and his hostess, a young English matron, were having a game of tennis two frightened bucks plunged into the court and a leopard followed them. "My hostess dropped her racket, caught her skirts in both hands and bolted for the house," says Doctor Mitchell. "I followed without a second look." The next-door neighbor, however, caught up his gun and got a shot at the leopard before it could spring on either of the bucks. The wounded cat turned tail and leaped back into the jungle behind the tennis court. The bucks, however, could not stop but went careering across the street, crashed through a garden and a pergola and disappeared into the bush beyond. "I've had lots worse things happen to me here," his hostess told Doctor Mitchel nonchalantly. Then she picked up her tennis racket and prepared to go on with the game.—Youth's Companion. Let Fortune Get Away. All that glitters is not gold, but lack of glitter is not a certain test for worthlessness, it was found by gold diggers along a river in Papua, British New Guinea, recently. While searching for gold the men encountered a bluish-gray, flakish substance which they cast aside as worthless. Two months ago two pounds of this substance was bought in London by an American firm for approximately $6,000, or eight times the value of the same amount of gold. It was osmiridium, a member of one of the hardest metals known and used for the tipping of fountain pens and for delicate bearings of fine machinery. It is worth $200 an ounce. When the prospectors learned the value of the substance they hurried back to the river and learned that tropical rains had washed away most of the precious stuff. By careful work they raked together what was left, had it refined and sent to London. Intentions Good. Methods Poor. The Pullman porter's intentions were good, but his methods poor. Two sisters, near the sixty mark, were en route from Kansas to Indiana. The younger, weighing about 80 pounds, was convalescing from a long illness and needed assistance in moving about. The porter frequently was called for help. One morning he met the older sister, who weighed near the 180 mark, and remarked: "Why, your mother just walked down the aisle. She must be much better." And when the porter was told of the "social error" he had made, he spent the greater part of the remainder of the journey pleading with the older sister not to tell of his mistake. The Explanation. Returning home from the park a man was jubilant because he had won prizes at several of the stands. "I got four boxes of candy, two kewpie dolls, seven stickpins and a chicken," he told his wife. "Did you wear your sporty hat?" "Yes." "And that suit with the big checks?" "Why, certainly." "And that loud tie?" "Yes, but what's the difference?" "Yes, but what's the difference? "That accounts for the winning of all those prizes. I'll bet a cookie the stand keepers thought you were a caper connected with the outfit." Salt Rising Bread. A cooking class is being organized in Houston to revive the lost art of making "salt rising" light bread. If the good old bread of the daddies and mammies is to come back all such latter-day contrivances as gas ranges and oil stoves will have to be set aside. The Signal serves notice on the Houstonians that salt-raising bread can only be cooked in fireplace ovens, and loaves that are not as big as a half-bushel measure or a full size cheese do not count.—Honey Grove Signal. Suez Canal to Be Tunneled. Suez Canal to Be Tunnelled. The great military base at Kantara, from which the British built a military railway through the desert to Palestine, is being dismantled. The line, of course, is permanent. During the war the Suez canal was crossed by a large swing bridge, which is now to be dismantled. Connection between the Egyptian railways and the new line to Palestine will be maintained by means of a tunnel which will be built below the Suez canal. Japan to Honor First Emperor. Japan is preparing to build a pyramid for the first emperor, Jimmu Tenno, somewhere in the suburbs of Tokio, and for this purpose a committee of prominent men will collect a stone from every subject of the empire says the Argonaut. It is the intention to make this the highest structure in the Far East. 1 Mme. Nollie Parks Agent for Mme. C. J. walker's Hair preparations and Scientific Scalp Treatment.
