NEGRO RIVETER STILL HOLDS WORLD'S RECORD. (Lincoln Press Service) NEW YORK. June 5- Although after a remarkable performance on May 19th Godman Rich, white, an expert riveter, who had just driven 308 seven-eighth a inch steel rivets in 37 minutes, an average of better than eight per minute, laid claim to the world's riveting record, investigation of official riveting records shows that Charles Knight, a Baltimore Negro, still holds the world's record as a riveter. At the works of the Bethlehem Steel Corporation, in 1918, Knight drove 4,875 three-quarter inch rivets in a nine-hour day, or an average of better than nine a minute. For both speed and endurance Knight's record is still the world title. A riveter in the Scotland shipyards is also close to the riveting speed kings. Leavenworth Kansas PASTOR, REV. R. A. CARTWRIGHT The Sunday School was well attended Sunday. The school was reviewed by the pastor and the many vital characteristics of the different types of kings during the Babylonian crisis and exile was explained to the school, not everybody that reigns dominion over an individual or a collective body is the right person to fill that office.

Wednesday, June 11, 1924 at 8:15 p. m. with the Arthur Gossett Post 273 of the American Legion. ARE YOU AWARE? ARE YOU AWARE? That there is a very significant prob lem confronting the race just now. It has not just begun but the "boil" is coming to a head. If members of our group ever did think, now is the time for them to busy themselves about it. Sometimes ago an article entitled "Negro Salvation" was begun in this column. The next installment will appear in next week's issue of "The Star." Read it and let's see if a pressure can be brought to bare for making things more wholesome in this land. This thinking time. Are you capable of doing that? YOUNG RANDOLPH GIVEN TESTIMONIAL.

(Lincoln News Service) WASHINGTON, June 5—In his new book, "The Price of Freedom," President Coolidge speaks out clearly in a vigorous, good old American style that is very refreshing and extremely heartening. He speaks for law and order and for self control, and says: "We Americans have been individualists. We are individualists still. That sturdy spirit which makes the pioneer is self-reliance. Without it no people ever achieved liberty. With it no people can be held in subjection. In the protection of the rights of the individual our Constitution and our laws set up a new standard, guaranteeing their maintenance against all the forces of society, or even of government itself. Nothing must be permitted to encrouch upon those rights. They are the foundation upon which stands the whole edifice of our institutions. If ever the citizen comes to feel that our government does not protect him in the free and equal assertion of his rights at home and abroad, he will withdraw his allegiance from the government, as he ought to do and bestow it on some more worthy object. It is idle to assume that the privilege of the strong has been destroyed unless the rights of the weak are preserved. The American theory of government means that back of the humblest citizen, supporting him in all his rights, organized for his protection, stands the whole force of the nation. That is the warrant and the sole warrant of his freedom. He can assert it in the face of the world. The individual has rights, but only the citizen has the power to protect rights. And the protection of rights is right-to-own." COLLINS' NEW THOUGHT WEATHER BUREAU FORECAST For Wichita and Vicinity From June 5th to 13th. Somewhat unsettled. Rain and Snow probably.

BRIDGEFORTH, who is putting over a wonderful program at K. I. & F. I., at Topeka. the proposed beach. The colored people of the District have insisted that their bathing beach be located in the Tidal Basin on the opposite side from the one used by white people. Just what the colored people of the District will do in the case cannot be surmised as the whites under the lead of Col. Sherrill, who has charge of public buildings and grounds, are determined that Negroes shall bath elsewhere than in the Tidal Basin. It is said that there are certain group of Negroes of the District inclined to accept either the South end of Columbia Island or the Virginia end of the Francis Scott Key bridge. They argue that a half loaf is better than none. NORMAN E. BROOKS CORRECTS NEWS- PAPER REPORTS ABOUT TYPE- WRITER CONTEST (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., June 6-Ne- roces of the country notice more and more the apparent concerted action on the part of daily newspaper reporters and writers of "nordic" descent to minimize the cretitable activities of race men and women, and on the other hand, magnify racial shortcomings of colored people. A few days ago the afternoon of the same day was a very great success. Geneva Taylor, Wichita, won the first prize and Samu- uel Stubblefield, Liberia Africa, won second prize. On Monday evening the music recital was held in the Institute Chapel, Miss M. H. Ford, director of this department has started many of the young people on the plano and many of them made a very creditably showing.

Miller, Director of Vocational Education of the State of Kannas delivered the address. All of the boys in this division, speaking on tailoring, carpentry, feeding of hogs and cattle did themselves great credit. Mr. Miller made a strong appeal to the young men and women to prepare themselves along industrial lines. The address was both forceful and inspiring. The class day exercises rendered by the senior class on Tuesday night was one of the best that has ever been rendered at the Institute. Mr. Loben Mosley was the principal performer. After these exercises the Principal's reception was held in Larimer Hall. Wednesday afternoon, the regular commencement day exercises were held in the Institute Chapel. The address was delivered by the Hon. W, L. Sayers, Hill City, Kans. He made one of the most forceful and striking speeches of the commencement season.

Washington Evening Stay in an article in connection with a prize being won in a typewriting contest played up a white lad as the first person in the District of Columbia to win such recognition. Norman E. Brooks saw the article and took exceptions, or rather endeavored to refresh the "convenient-forgettery" of the American whites. Mr. Brooks communicates as follows:— "In the picture section of Sunday's Star for May 18, 1924. I notice the picture of a young man who had received a gold medal for typewriting, and it was said that he was the first in the District to receive such medal. I beg to inform you that a young colored boy of the name Cortez Wilson Peters was the first one in the District to receive this gold medal for typewriting. He received the medal on June 18, 1923, when he was graduated from Dunbar School. And since that time he has won a Remington Standard typewriter, which is the highest medal that can be awarded outside of the international contest, which is held in October. "I just thought I would call your attention to this fact because there is much good that the colored man is doing in Washington and elsewhere that is not given general recognition. To verify my statement you may write to the Underwood and the Remington Typewriter companies of this city, or to the main office of the Remington Company in New York City." Newton Kansas News. All records show that the Second Baptist is maintaining its usual standard both as a local church and among the churches of the District and State. Both services were well attended by members and visitors. The morning sermon was delivered from the text: "Ho'd fast that which thou hast," Rev. ::1. The pastor urged us to hold fast to the truth of God, to the form of Goilness and to our Christian experience. The evening sermon was a fresh, and unusually beautiful treatment of the old subject; "She Dry bones in the Valley." Our Senior Deacon, John Jackson, is very sick; the whole church is praying for his recovery. Deacon Jackson's bedside radiates spiritual hope, encouragement and inspiration to those who are around him.

STEWART LOUISVILLE. KY., May 21-What might be termed the most successful General Conference in the history of the African Methodist Episcopal Church, has just passed into history. It was induced a business session and much was accomplished not alone for the church, but the entire race. There were some surprises as well as disappointments in the election and some had to be left for the next time and it will never come. In the election of Bishops, there 57 aspirants, and only three to be elected. There strong men were elected and the church will continue to move on. The Bishops elected were Abraham Lincoln Gaines, Reverdy Cassius Ransom. John Andrew Gregg. Bishop Gaines was the first to be elected and it was on the first ballot, and then followed the other two in their order on the second ballot. The consecration of bishops took place Sunday and it was a great occasion, as it was the first time a bishop of the A. M. E. Church has been consecrated, and it was not surprising that the crowd should number over 15,000 from all parts of the country, including many Kentucky people representing all religious denominations. It was a solemn occasion. Bishop Levl J. Coppin was in the chair, the senior bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee being unable to be present because of his physical condition. Music for the occasion was furnished by a select choir of one hundred voices under direction of Prof. Hiram Simmons of Portsmouth, Va. Salina Kansas News. Sunday was a great day in St. John Baptist Church which marked the close of the financial drive that has been on the past 5 months. Attendance good and wonderful service throughout the day. Rev. J. W. Hayes of Wichita, was with us and preached 2 wonderful sermons. At 11, text Matt. 26:19, theme "Going a Little farther." Many splendid thoughts were advanced. At 8 we listened to an interesting address by Rev. B. F. Rooks pastor of the A. M. E. Church, from the subject: "God's Financial plan." He very clearly pointed out the necessity of following God's plans if we would prosper. Rev Hayes then delivered a straightforward sermon from Mal. 3:10; subject: "Giving For God a Financial Plan or Tithes." Mrs. P. G. Porter played a very beautiful piano solo. At 8 p.m. Rev. Hayes discussed Matt. 14:29, theme: "Arhamed of Jesus." The final report of money raised during the drive was $2506.40. Plans are being made to start building at once. We were very much pleased to have Rev. Hayes with us. We also appreciate the the hearty co-operation given by the local pastors and their congregations.

B FITZWATER DJ, Teachot the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago) Lesson for June 8 LESSON TEXT—Ezek. 84 1-30. GOLDEN TEXT—I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was driven away.—Ezek. 84 16. PRIMARY TOPIC—Ezekiel Preaching to the Exiles INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—The Lord Seeking His Battered People YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Ezekiel's Mission to the Exiles. Ezekiel prophesied in the land of capitility. The latter part of Jeremiah's ministry was contemporaneous with that of Ezekiel. The purpose of his ministry was: 1. To Keep Before the Minds of the Captives That They Were In Capitility Because of the Sins of the Nation (Ezek. 14:23). 2. To Show That God Was Righteous In His Visitation of Judgment Upon Them (Ezek. 78:0). 3. To Sustain Their Faith by Assuring Them of Their National Restoration, the Punishment of Their Enemies and the Final Exalted Place of Israel Among the Nations When Messiah Should Reign (Izek, 84:20-31). 1. Indictment of the False Shepherds (iv, 1-19). Israelis ruined condition, resulted from the failure of the rulers to properly care for the people of Israel, God's sheep. Their sin was that: 1. They Exploited the People Instead of Shepherding Them (iv, 1-3). The shepherds were appointed to feed the flock but instead of that they fed themselves, even devouring the sheep and clothing themselves with the wool thereof. 2. They Failed to Minister to the Slik, the Disused and Wounded (v. 4). It is not enough that the shepherds refrain from doing evil to the sheep. They are expected to strengthen the weak and bind up the wounds of those that have been injured. 3. They Did Not Search Out the Lost Sheep (vv. 59). Sheep left to themselves wander away. The sheep are not expected to look after themselves but to be cared for by the sheep herd. In their scattered condition they became the prey of wild beasts. None sought after them though they had wandered through the mountains and over the hills. 4. The Lord Held the Priests and Rulers of Israel Responsible for This Condition (v. 10). The Lord always holds those responsible who have been set over his children. 11. Israel to Do Restored (vv. 11-22). Though the rulers have so wretchedly failed, the eloquence God will come to the rescue of His people. 1. He Will Search and Seek Them Out (vv. 11, 12). Though Israel be scattered throughout the nations, the divine shepherd will deliver them from every place where they have been scattered. 2. Will Bring Them Into Their Own Land (v. 17). This was partly fulfilled in the return of the remnant under Izra and Nehemiah, but the real fulfillment awaits the future. 3. Will Feed Them (vv. 13, 14). He will not only satisfy them with food. He will cause them to lie down in perfect contentment and security (vv. 14, 15). 4. Shall No More He a Prey (v. 22). Though God's chosen people have been scattered through the mountains and over the hills of the nations and have been a prey to the repentous greed of the many nations, God will one day deliver his sheep and will judge the false shepherds. III. The Coming Good Shepherd (vv. 23-31). The instrument through which this great deliverance is to be wrought is the Messiah Himself. 1. He Will Make a Covenant of Peace (v. 25). This condition of peace will be brought about by the presence of the Lord among them. The world and Israel will only know actual peace when the Prince of Peace shall come and rule over the whole earth. 2. Elli Beats Removed (v. 25). The redemption which awaits Israel and the world will not only affect God's children and their rulers but will bring about peace even among the animals, so that His children can sleep in peace and quiet even in the woods. 3. Showers of Blessing Come Down (v. 20). God's chosen people shall be a blessing to the world, according to His original purpose for them. When these blessings are poured out, it shall be known that they flow from Jesus Christ, the good Shepherd. The purpose of Israel's choice was that the world might be blessed through them (Gen. 12:1:8). Chanute Notes. The banquet given by the Courts of Fraternity at the K. of P.
