SENATE FAILS TO CONFIRM HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON Nomination Of Georgian To Be Recorder Of Deeds Is Sent Back To Committe. Johnson Silent. Rumor Of Slush Fund Charges. WASHINGTON, D. C. — The appointment of Col Henry Lincoln Johnson for Recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia came up Wednesday in executive session of A. Linney, of North Carolina, for U. S. District Attorney for the Eastern section of State. Linney was confirmed and Johnson's appointment was returned to the Committee on District Affairs of which Senator Ball is Chairman for investigation of charges that have been filed against him. An inquiry was made at SenBall's office concerning the charges, but nothing could be obtained concerning them. A Tribune representative visited Col. Johnson's home early Thursday morning and was informed that the Colonel had nothing to say. The question is before the Senate and I have nothing to say in the matter," said Mr. Johnson. There is much speculation in the matter. Some advance the idea that "Link" rendered ye-service in Squashing the protest of the Colored people from North Carolina, against Frank A Loney, who it was claimed was against colored people voting in the last election, and it was thru Johnson's persuasion, it is alleged, that the charges were withdrawn. The rumor is that Johnson has lost his grip on the Administration and with the Colored people. Not one thing can he point to (his opponents say) that he has accomplished for the Race since the election last fall. The failure to confirm Johnson, has caused much comment through political circles, because of the fact that he was supposed to have been held in high esteem by the administration. The nature of the charges filed against him are a matter of conjecture. It is believed however, in some quarters that "The Lowden slush fund matter" is a part of them. Some political aces in the District take Johnson's silence at this time to mean that he has not yet played his last card. The movements of the Senate Committee will undoubtedly be watched very closely from now on.

MOTORISTS DEMAND ACTION ON ROAD MARKING What has become of the Moents good roads law for the maintenance, patrol and marking of the state bond issue roads in Illinois and why is the machinery to put this law in operation practically at a standstill while neighboring states are forging ahead in road work? This is a query propounded by the Illinois State Automobile Association, which in a bulletin, urges action to fulfill pledges made to the people who have voted for good roads and well maintained highways but we are still patiently waiting for them. In the Monents good roads bill $3 000,000 was voted for a biennial period to carry out the provisions of the law providing for the patrol and marking of state and federal aid roads. This law became effective on July 1. Two months have flown by and still none of the designated highways have been touched to indicate that such a law had been passed. "I can see no feasible reason or delay in carrying out the provisions of the Moents good roads law" said Henry Paulman chairman of the good roads committee of the Illinois State Automobile Association. This bill passed the state senate with only one dissenting vote. It went through the house with only twelve representatives voting against it. It proved one of the poplar measures of the session altho it contained a paragraph breaking down our civil service of which the motor interests of the state do not approve. Despite the passage of this bill almost unanimously, we have no action to indicate that its provision are being carried out. Two months have gone by and there is no action. I can understand why there should be some delay in getting the organization under way but the marking of our highways should have been attended to at once. Well marked roads attract tourists and cause favorable comment. The woeful lack of road markings in Illinois have been a disgrace to the state. There are thousands of unemployed men walking the streets of our cities who could be put to work. We need the roads and these men need the work. Over in Michigan, which was far behind Illinois in its original program, they are pushing their road marking program with a rapidity that is attracting general notice. We have had enough lay in Illinois Her Instructions. Conductor—"Ticket, please." Passenger—"Certainly, sir. Here is the key of my trunk, which is in the baggage car.

Olive Baptist Assolinois; Trustee of the ning School, located WHITE MAN KILLS A 16 YEAR OLD COLORED BOY Algiers, La.—Sought by police after the killing of Henry Nelson. Colored 16 years old; Summer James of the lower coast, surrendered Monday afternoon to the police and according to the latter will be charged with murder Tuesday morning. Albert Licata, proprietor of a soft drink establishment on the lower coast, in which Jones was employed, will be charged as an accomplice, police said. According to police, Jones was under influence of liquor Sunday afternoon and asked Licata for a pistol, saying, it is alleged, "I want to kill a Nigger." Licata is alleged to have given Jones a pi tol, with which it is charged he shot the Colored boy in the back. The boy was sent to to Charity Hospital and died Monday morning. When police searched Summer's home Monday, it is charged they found about 200 gallons of mash ready to be made into whiskey and complete still, all of which was confiscated. "Paid $1,600,000 To See Slacker Fight; Why Not Bonus?" Kenyon- Washington—During the senate debate on the soldier bonus bill recently, in answer to republican opposition, Senator Kenkon, republican, Iowa, challenged the argument that funds were lacking to pay the bill's burden. He said that people had paid $1,600,000 recently, ''to see a slacker knock a Frenchman into insensibility'' and declared that means could be found to pay the soldiers. Back-Biting Does Not Appeal To This Judge. Chicago, Ill.,—"If you women come into court again I'll have your teeth pulled; now sign the bond to keep the peace for a year and a day." So judge Haas in South Clark street court settled a dispute as to whether Mrs. Emma Seymouth or Mrs. Lucille Arsenaux both living at 3213 Ellis avenue and both Colored, bit the other first. Mrs. Seymour charged she had been bitten on the back. Girl Leaps From Bridge To Save Her Life. New Orleans, La.—Movie camerman missed an opportunity Sunday night when Ada Davis, colored 1644 Lafayette Street, took a leap for life from a rising railroad bridge over the New Basin Canal at White street. Ada, according to the police, was nonchalantly strolling across the bridge when the bridge tended, not able to see, began raising it. At the first upward motion of the bridge, Ada is said to have sped to the bank of the canal. The police reported she suffered minor bruises. Preacher Stole For Church. Leavenworth, Kas — Isaiah Wilson, negro preacher, exercised such poor discretion in looking after the welfare of his church at Detroit, that he is now an inmate of the federal penitentiary, having been received today to serve an indeterminate sentence for stealing a load of coal which he sold for the benfit of his church. The Ladie's Aid met with Mrs. Bert Granger, Friday evening. It being the Hostess anniversary she entertained in a lovely style the color scheme was cream, the dining room and table was beautifully decorated, plates were laid for ten with souveniors of lovely cream roses at each plate, and a large bouquet of the same for center. After business was over the guests were invited to the dining room where a luncheon was served. A massive Anniversary cake with its several candles burning brightly were blown out by the guests. After partaking of the frozen dainties each in their turn honored the hostess with lovely toast's expressing their hopes for many more long and happy Birthdays. We were honored with the presence of our old friend, Mrs. Kimpie Gipson, of Rock Island, who made a lovely talk gave us several brilliant ideas along the line of club work. Mrs. Gipson, is and has always been a great church worker and meant much to us to have her with us. Mrs. Thomas Harmon, and Mrs. Beatrice Alston, were also visitors and expressed themselves as being glad to meet us.

There is only one way to cure cartarrhat deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhal Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever.

The term "Indian summer" is applied to a period of mild, open weather that comes in the fall, embracing the most of October and sometimes extending into November, and characterized by a sort of dry mist or haziness that differentiates it from other seasons of the year. What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the origin of the term equally so. Differen. explanations have been given of both, but they seem to be largely fanciful. A. Crime Self-Punished. A thief entered a house in Riverside Drive and stole five volumes of poetry.

EDUCATION LAWS TOO LOOSE Children's Bureau of United States Department of Labor Deplores Some Exemptions Allowed. Every state now has a compulsory day school attendance law, according to information recently furnished by the United States Department of Labor through the children's bureau. The bureau has just completed an analysis of education laws affecting child labor, the results of which are published in a chart entitled "State Compulsory School Standards Affecting the Employment of Minors." In five states attendance is required until eighteen years of age, in two of these in certain districts only; in three until seventeen; and in thirty-two until sixteen. One state requires attendance until fifteen, six others and the District of Columbia until fourteen, and one state requires attendance until the age of twelve years, but applies this to illiterates only. Unfortunately, says the bureau, the exemptions in the majority of states are so numerous that they greatly limit the application of the law. The most common exemptions are for employment, or upon completion of a specified school grade. Four states specifically exempt for work in agricultural pursuits, three with no age provision. Laws of fourteen other states contain loosely worded provisions exempting a child at any age, which might be used to cover absence for farm work as well as for many other purposes. Several states exempt a child whose services are necessary for the support of himself or others, without any age or educational provision. The amount of attendance required is still unsatisfactory in many states, several demanding only 12, 16, or 20 weeks in a year. Even in states where city children must attend for eight or nine months, the amount of attendance required in rural school districts is sometimes considerably less. HAD MIGHT SUSPiCIOUS LOOK Washington Correspondent Tells of One of the most remarkable things about men, be they of high or low estate, is that they never grow up. Take for instance, that group of elder statesmen in the United States senate. Here is the trick they were caught playing on Sims, the old negro barber at the capitol, who has been slaving them and their kind for forty years. Sims is a preacher and great Biblical authority when he is not shaving senators. He is profoundly religious. He has confidence in his fellows. So, when Senator Harry New of Indiana told Sims that he had a present for him, the venerable barber walked into the trap all unsuspecting. Face Bleach, Exquisite Face & Talc Powders Shampoo Grower FACULTY: FACILY E. M. HORSES BRAVE UNDER FIRE Animals Displayed Remarkable Coolness Even When Subjected to the Enemy's Heaviest Barrage. The noble horse is a very calm animal under stormy or dangerous circumstances. A remarkable example of the coolness displayed by horses amid the din of war was shown at the front in France, and the soldiers who had the opportunity to personally observe the attitude of the faithful horse while under shell-fire can realize what an indispensable role was played in the World war by our good old domestic friends, Joseph R. Schadel writes in Our Dump Animals. While serving on the front in France I was more than once astonished and impressed by the actions of horses when the shells began to burst and the deadly gas spread its fatal wings over the field of battle. One night near Chateau-Thierry, a heavy barrage began to fall in our vicinity, and the horses, which were also open to the danger, did not scatter or run. Instead, three of them, following the example of the soldiers, lay down promptly and waited until the shelling was over. Only one of them was killed, and that poor fellow had remained standing. Another time, while moving along a road that was under enemy observation, the shells started to burst on both sides of our column. But the good old horses plodded on; the greatest bravery was shown, and, fortunately, none was lost. In time, I hope, there will be more space allotted in history to the excellent part which horses played in the late war. Only the highest praise would be their just dues. PUBLICITY AS CRIME CHECK Sociologist Says the Newspapers Make Life Hard for Criminals of Every Description. "Blame the newspapers for making the role of the criminal harder today than it was twenty or thirty years ago," said M. C. Elmer of the sociology department, University of Minnesota, according to the Minneapolis News. "The swindler of a few years back had a downy feather bed to lie on compared to followers of his footsteps today," he continued. "In those days, the same gang would work a skin game in one town a week, and then move to the next stop and do the same thing the following week. Not now, however. The newspaper is the burrier. If a clever swindle is worked in Mexico or Honolulu the news is on the wires at once, and the whole world knows it in a couple of hours, and the little game is killed." Contrary to general opinion, crime is not any greater in proportion to population today than twenty years ago, according to Mr. Elmer. It is just that the number of criminals has increased with the growth of population, he said. Mr. Elmer exploded another popular fancy when he said that he believes that criminals are not any bolder today than in years past. "It is the newspapers again," he said. "The big jobs are given wide publicity and seem larger in the public mind than those of the past. But it isn't so. The James boys, the Youngers, and the Daltons had just as much nerve and put over jobs in their days just as big as anything you read about in the papers today." She Bunched Them. Grandmother was pleased that Matilda should have attentions, and was very gracious to the manly beaux and admirers that came by turn; but when in the crowd of summer visitors there appeared in succession William Little-John, Martin Pettijohn and Ted Upjohn, she was tewildered over the young woman's predicament. "Oh, Matilda!" she exclaimed. "How do you manage more than one Johnnie at a time? I never shall be able to tell which is Little, which is Petty, and which is Up. But," after some reflection, "I'll bunch 'em; I'll fix 'em." Ever afterword, when one of the Johnnie triplets appeared, grandma was heard to exclaim most cordially. "How do you do, Mr. Little-Petty-Upjohn, which?" Saving Screw Shavings. Two thousand years seems a long time to wait for an improvement, but this has been the case with the screw. Metal screws have been made since 236 B. C. The shank of the screw has been turned from a bar of metal having the diameter of the screw head, thus wasting a large proportion of the metal by reducing it to shavings. A certain screw manufacturer has decided to alter this. A metal bar, of the diameter of the shank, is put into a matrix and subjected to enormous pressure. The head of the screw is thus expanded in the confined compartment, which gives it the desired shape. The only waste occurs in threading the screw and finishing the head. METROPOLIS . . . ILLINOIS HORSES ABLE TO TELL TIME Steeds Hired by the Hour Good Judges of Distance, According to This Stable Manager. A rider needs a strong hand and a firm seat to ride the hired horses of a certain suburban riding academy when he attempts to go beyond an hour's distance from the stable, according to the New York Sun. The rates are $5 for two hours, and the horses have become so accustomed to going one hour out and one back that when the first hour is reached and the rider does not turn back toward the stable his horse insists upon doing it for him. Beyond this first hour, if the rider still wishes mistakenly or extravagantly to ride still farther away from the stable, he will have to fight his horse every twenty-five or thirty yards as the horse attempts to turn back, and there will be no further joy in the ride. If he complains to the manager of the stable, the manager will be politely regretful if the rider is a stranger, or he will tell him the honest truth if the rider is an old acquaintance. "I get so many inexperienced riders," the manager will tell you, "and they have no sense of direction and keep no track of the time, and if it were not for the good sense of the horses the riders would either lose themselves in the countryside or would perhaps realize at some point that their limit was nearly up and then would come thundering in with winded and steaming horses. "These horses manage the ride themselves and the riders have very little to do with it," said the stable manager, "and in that way they protect the riders, they protect themselves and they protect me." HIS PRIVATE SWIMMING POOL Wise, Willie, Forbidden Trip to Cool River, Found Substitution That Answered the Purpose. On certain occasions Willie takes his mother's instructions literally, while other times he doesn't. When Willie's mother told him that she did not want him to leave the building all afternoon because he had disobeyed her by going swimming in the river on the day previous, Willie carried out his mother's instructions to the letter. He did not leave the building all afternoon. When Willie's mother arrived home from her shopping tour late in the day, however, she was surprised to find that her son's hair was wet. "I hope you didn't disobey me and go in the river again," said his mother. "None." Willie replied. "Then how did you get your hair wet?" his mother asked. "Swimming?" Willie replied. "Swimming?" gasped his mother. "I told you not to leave this building. Now you will go to bed without any supper." "I didn't leave the building," Willie insisted. "How could you go swimming without leaving the building?" said his mother. "There's no place to swim in this apartment house." "Ain't there, though?" asked the youngster. "Did you ever try the water tank on the roof?"—New York Sun. Elephants Raid Railway Station. We are used to stories of how an elephant occasionally upsets a circus but it is rare we hear of an orgy of destruction like that which occurred in the Malay peninsula. A herd of wild elephants attacked a railway station, pulling down the station-master's kitchen and bathroom. They did the same to the clerk's quarters and then tackled the station while the office force looked on from trees. One elephant took off an automatic weighing machine as a souvenir of the raid, but finding it heavy, threw it down on the track. One of the elephants trumpeted the recall and they all went back into the jungle except one who fell in a well and had to be cut out by human aid, but was not detained. By the time help arrived after a general telegraphic alarm the huge beasts had entirely disappeared.—Scientific American. Palestine Charlots. Dr. Clarence S.

In the matt As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Maitha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship? Does He not now desire and seek the Mary's of today who break their alabaster boxes of love and pour the precious ointment on the heads of the sick and sorrowing and suffering of the earth, and thereby fill the entire world with the fragrance of christianity? Christian women, let us go, and as we go, let us cry One Lord, One Faith, and One Baptism. God bless the work, E. M. LONG, State Missionary 519 E. Howard St., Centralia, Ill.

A certain Red Cross public health nurse, in New Hampshire, reports that the interest in the Red Cross course of instruction in "Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick" in her county is unprecedented. This nurse travels over a considerable area, the county being a large one, including eight towns. It is the consensus of opinion at the New England division headquarters that in this county, at least, the future of the American Red Cross is assured because of the great service performed through these classes. New England still lives up to her tradition of recognizing and sponsoring the best that education can-give.-Red Cross Magazine. Financial Diagnosis. "Did the doctor know what you had?"

I have finally decided to go into that business, with a view of serving my people, as well as having an employment, feeling that I can give them better service than members of the other race, 'though I am in friendly relation with all the other undertakers, and expect to retain that relationship throughout my business career I am perfectly qualified to give unexcelled service and will guarantee satisfaction. I was born and reared in Metropolis, on 9th and Pearl Sts. Educated in Metroplis Public Schools, graduating from Dunbar High School in 1912. I then entered the Barnes School of Anatomy, Sanatary Science and Embalming, Chicago, Illinois, from which I graduated August 14 1914, from which school I hold a Diploma. We will carry a small line of caskets only, at present, owing to the advance price on these goods, but we have arranged with a large undertaking establishment to furnish us with anything needed on short notice. We have a first class hearse at our command. Calls answered day or night: distance immaterial. We were in the U.
