Tuskegee Institute, Ala. —Principel Moton announced today that he had received notice that the late Mrs. Betty Williams of Flemington, New Jersey had recently died, leaving a will which provided for Tuskegee Institute to receive from her estate approximately $2500. During her lifetime Mrs. Williams was an admirer of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, and on several occasions had given evidence of her interest in the work of Tuskegee Institute.
The test of American democracy is the Negro. Unless the white man can live side by side with him, our democracy is a failure," said Eugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National Urban League, at the opening session of the Missouri State Workers Conference in St. Joseph, Mo., last Sunday before an audience of twelve hundred white and colored people. Sectional sessions were held Monday and Tuesday, and important topics were studied. Last year five colored social workers attended, this year twenty two from various sections of the state were present. The section on Negro Welfare was under the direction of Geo. W Buckner, executive Secretary of the Saint Louis Urban League, and State chairman of the Committee on Negro Welfare
The survey on eleomosynary institute by F. T. Lane, Kansas City and the paper on conditions of rural schools by C. G. Williams, state Inspector, called for much discussion.
It was shown that 16,000 colored children are now out of School in the state of Missouri and that of the nine institutions only four admit Negroes
Washington,—A resolution requesting the Secretary of War to inform the House whether court evidence had shown conclusively that all of the soldiers convicted for participating in the Houston, Tex., riot in August, 1917, were guilty, was introduced yesterday by Representative Anthony, Republican, of Kansas Nineteen of the soldiers were hanged, 62 were sentenced to life imprisonment and five were sent to prison for fifteen years, Anthony said.
The resolution asked whether it was true that "some of the men now under confinement were found guilty merely because they were absent from roll call on that evening of the riot." Anthony inquired as to what steps the War Department had taken toward investigating "the justness or severe penalties" inflicted and whether the question of extending clemency had been considered.
Hampton, Va. —Natalie Burlin well-known student of musical lore, song-poetry and decorative art of the North American Indians, and of folk lore and music of Africans and Negroes, was recently injured fatally while in Paris.
Dr. James E Greeg, principal of Hampton Institute, recently paid a warm tribute of honor and affection to the memory of Mrs Burlin, who was a devoted friend of Hampton, of American Negroes and Indians, of Africans and of struggling men and women, regardless of race or creed.

She was twice married, her first husband being Mr. Benjamin Fields, Two children blessed this union, one dying in infancy. Floyd survives her.
She died Sunday Nov. 20, 1921 at 9:30 a. m., after a brief but intense suffering.
She was a member of the Ruth Lodge, Mounds, Ill., at the time of her death. She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, one son, Floyd, a step-mother, of McKenzie, Tenn., one sister Mrs. Jennie Nolan, of Md. City, three half brothers of McKenzie, Tenn, and several relatives and friends.

OBITUARY.
Mrs. Millie Jane Long, wife of Mingo Long, was born in Humphreys county Tenn., during the days of slavery her parents being Anthony and Jennie Taylor, near Waverly, Tenn Her exact age is unknown.
She moved with her husband to Metropolis Ill, about fifty years ago locating norheast of the city on the Goleonda road where had lived ever since. In her death one of the oldest inhabitants in that vicinity passes away. She was known by all the people far and near as white and colored had grown up from children to men and women and had learned to love, honor, and respect her for her pure life and deeds of kind-
M.
ness to the distressed and needy, it always being a pleasure to her to lend a sympathetic hand to the sorrowing and consoling those in the hours of affliction.
She professed religion about 45 years ago and joined the then African Baptist church, of Metropolis, which is now the First Baptist church, and remained until death. She said to her children during illness, that see was waiting on the Lord and had made preparation for death, and the Lord would come when He was ready for her and no one could prevent her from going.
In her death the husband has lost a faithful wife, the children a loving and tender hearted mother, one whose life was devoted to their welfare. The community a good citizen, the church an excellent christian. Death came to her as as a sweet relief, releasing her from a life of faithful service, after a short duration of intense suffering at her late home, Monday morning Nov. 14, 1921, surrounded by all of her children and husband she peacefully slept away in the arms of Jesus, where toils and cares are o'er.
She leaves to mourn their loss a husband, six children, namely: Mrs. Na cy Crippens, Mrs. M. J. McCray, Mrs Lurania Blakmore, Geo. W. Long, Metropolis; Mrs Harriet Jefferson. East St. Louis, Ill; and Rev J. P Long, Mt. Vernon, Ill.; 15 grand-children and 30 great grand-children, one nephew, Geo. Robinson of Cairo, a host of relatives and friends.
She lived to see 39 grand-children and 40 great grand children. Peace to her dust.

CARD OF THANKS.
We the undersigned relatives wish to thank our many friends, white and colored for their deeds of kindness and assistance rendered us in the last illness and death of our dear wife and mother, Millie Jane Long, who departed this life Nov. 14, 1921. Your friendly aid will never be forgotten, because it came at a time when we needed kindly advice and help. Your many words of cheer acted as a balm to our heavy hearts in this our hour of grief.
We also thank the donors for the many floral designs which were silent tokens of the high regard of which she was held by you. We shall never forget your kindness, and we stand ready to show the same spirit of sympathy should misfortune ever overtake you.

Where Are You Going
® e 9 :
_ This Winter’
&
Why don’t you take a trip to that charmed land of out o’ doors and
varied attractions—California?: ,
While California performs no magic, it does rest the weary and refresh
the weak. One can be out in the open air and glorious sunshine
amongst the fruits and flowers beside the blue Pacific every day—his
whole system vitalized and energized, filled with what they call ‘‘pep.””
There’s no end of outdoor recreation and pastime possibilities in Cali-
fornia. ' ; -
Instead of being a hardship, the ride is & leisurely, carefree one,.if you
go via the Burlington. A continuous moving pictare"6f inspiring
Denver (the Paris of America)’ Colorado’ Springs’ (the'City’of' Sun-
shine)’ the’ Pike Peak region, Pueblo (the Pittsburgh of the West),
road'runs); Scenit’ Oolorido)’ Salt Lake Oity (the ‘Capital ofthe Mor.
moni), Great Salt Lake (the mysterious American Dead Sea) and the ,
ninety-mile-long gorge of the Feather Biver Oanyon through the besu-
tiful Sierra Nevada range. Convenient connection’ at Salt Lake for
southern Oslifernis paints. ; .
If you think you can’t afford it, analyze the situation and you will
change your mind. It costs money to remain at home. Taking this,
the delights, comfert and benefits of the trip into consideration, how
can you afford not to go?. There are comparatively. inexpensive hotels,
boarding houses and eating places, as well as the palatial kind we
hear so much about.
Ask me about the cost of getting there. Reduced round trip
tickets, carrying long return limits, liberal stop-over and diverse-route
privileges are now on sale. :

No trait of a girl's character is more prized than a sweet and happy disposition. It makes the home life bright, it smooths away the little roughnesses, and it is like a ray of sunshine that brightens the darkest corners and drives away discontent and gloom. The happy girl makes the happy and contented wife, who will bring her girlhood's endearing qualities to make fresh sunshine in her new home. - Home Notes.

METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE. METROPOLIS ILL
Notice
Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family
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 Martha 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.

Milk for Babies
Jersey and Guernsey cows give rich fat-producing milk, and for that reason their milk has been regarded as too rich for infants. It is still true that the milk of the Ayrshire and the Holstein is better suited to infants than the Jersey and Guernsey milk, but the cause is not the fat, as has been thought. The fact is that the causes of the Ayrshire and Holstein milk is decidedly more flocculated and not as readily curdled in the stomach, so that it is the most easily digested by children.

Money Long in Use
Blinds for centuries have used new honey as a laxative and old honey as an astringent. Aborigines of Peru offered honey to the sun. Greeks still tilt it with milk of water and use it as a ablation to the dead. In one section of India milk and honey are handed to all bridgemen as they arrive at the door of the bride's father, and in ancient Egypt honey was long a chief ingredient of embalming fluid.
