THE NEGRO STAR. FOR THE GOOD OF THE PEOPLE Vol 22, No. 23, PRACTICAL AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT LEGISLATION On August 14, a new automobile casualty insurance law went into effect in California, which seems to be an intelligent model for this sort of legislation. No motorist is compelled to carry insurance, but in case of an accident he must pay all damages and provide future insurance before he can drive again. This is not compulsory insurance in the Massachusetts sense. It places the expense and responsibility where it belongs—on drivers responsible for serious accidents. The careful driver has nothing to fear. The increasing toll of deaths and injuries caused by the automobile has made it apparent that steps must be taken to curb the reckless and irresponsible. Unconditional compulsory insurance has been found an impractical and expensive failure. Several states have passed acts similar to the California law. A fair liability law, coupled with rigid enforcement of adequate driving rules, should do much to prevent accidents' and indemnify the injured. Reckless drivers are a menace to the public safety. But legislation which places a burden on the careful and competent is unfair and foredoomed to failure APPEAL LAWRENCE, KANSAS, Sept. 3, To the Baptists of Kansas: The District Associations are now over (in history.) All had great meetings. The programs Were all inspiring and helpful. I was able to meet all the districts in their annual meetings. The broad-hearted men and women gave us a hearty welcome and we enjoyed the fellowship very much. The response they gave to the appeal for our Missionary and Educational work was indeed en- couraging, also. The Moderators are to be commended for their work and co-operation in the program of the State Convention. Rev. J. T. Elias of Southeastern, Rev. G. T. Raimey of Smoky Hill River, Dr. D. B. Jackson of Kaw Valley, Dr. J. W. Hayes of Southwestern, Rev. J. H. Scott of Neosho Valley and Rev. B. J. Davidson of Northeastern, with these strong Gospel preacher at the head of the districts, we could expect nothing else but success. Some changes were made in the North eastern district, but we hope that the new officers will prove a tower of strength for this district. Now that the Associations are over, we must turn our attention to our annual meeting of the State Convention, that is to meet with the Calvary Baptist Church of Wichita, Oct. 8-13. This should be a great meeting, the coming together of the Baptist family of Kansas to plan for greater things in our Missionary and Educational work. All our churches, Mission Circles, Sunday Schools and B. Y. P. Us., should report with a large contribution for the State Work. We are anxious to pay off our debt in order that we may do the work, unhampered by "old debts." To this end, we are working and praying, and are hereby urging all to help, by doing their bit, "Large Things," for the Kingdom work. This will mean a greater program next year. The program for the State Meeting will, in a few days reach all the churches and pastors of the State. Let us all work together to make this a great meeting. We can do this if we decide to take no background in our Missionary and Educational Work. Can the Lord Count on you? G. N. JACKSON, Executive Sec. RENEW YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MERIT BRINGS REWARD On the basis of returns for the early months of 1929, the railroads are now in the minds of their most prosperous year since the war. It is an amazing fact that one of the greatest and most necessary industries has been actually "starved" for almost a decade. Service has, however, been continually improved and costs have been reduced in all phases of operation in spite of burdensome taxation and legislation. 11. as the facts seem to indicate, the railroads are at last receiving well-deserved prosperity, every American citizen and industry will benefit. No business can be maintained, indefinitely, much less progress, without profits. The once great danger of delays and car shortages has practically disappeared. The standards of modern railroad service have never before been equalled. This speaks volumes for the railroad's spirit of public service, and the efficiency and optimism of their managements, in the face of discouraging conditions BIG CELEBRATION ELDORADO, KANSAS, Sept. 10, I am delighted to report that our work in the 2nd Baptist Church, is starting off in splendid shape. We had a great service last Sunday, all day. The attendance in Sunday School was fine under direction of Rev. James Martin as superintendent and in dates makes improvement of nearly 40; and in the B. Y. P. U. service, Sister Mary Patterson, who has had charge of the juniors, having returned from an extended vacation on Lake Michigan, was present to assume her work, to the delight and joy of the little folk and gave new impetus to that department Sister Viola Haily, who is throwing her personality and influence into the work, was present and prompt in opening up the meeting at 6:30 p. m. Rey, Shoats of Holton, Kansas, who was present as a visitor, delivered a very splendid and helpful address to the young people. The attendasce at both morning and evening services were encouraging, and I spoke from the Theme: "The Two Things that are essential to have in order to be a soul-winner." Ps. 51:12, 13. At evening service, 8:30 p. m., was, "Gathering with Christ," Luke 11:23. Public collection during the day $16.35. Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. turned over to the treasurer $30.00 from their entertainment which they had given, for which much credit was due Sister Viola Harley, Sister jG. Dotee and Sister J. A. Reed. Total collection $47.35. We are preparing for our Chautaugua and financial drive, beginning on the 12th of Sept. and ending on the 22nd, 1929. Visitors from out of town, are cordially invited to attend. THE POWER TRUST The following article, signed by Bernayr Macfadden, recently appeared in the New York Evening Graphic and says in part: "Newspapers everywhere are criticizing the "power trust." They control our electric light bills. Some maintain that they are buying our legislators, that highhanded method is being used to build up a stupendous monopoly. · "But in the midst of the heated controversy, which has raged pro and con in our legislative halls and newspapers, Henry Ford comes out and favors one big power trust. He believes in making electricity almost as cheap as air. We should use it much more than we do at the present time." "And with the regulative powers possessed by the government at this time, why should we be worrying about the power trust? "If the power trust is buying leg · WICHITA, KANSAS, FRIDAY, Sept. 13, 1929 MOTHERS APPRECIATE SAFETY MOVEMENT MOTHERS APPRECIATE SAFETY MOVEMENT That there is a human side to business as well as a purely commercial side is illustrated by the action of an oil company on the Pacific coast which has been erecting air beacons every 50 miles from Canada to Mexico. This company has been a leader in aviation development. Aviation has caused mlothers (and fathers) of the present generation, great anxiety and worry because of the interest ther sons (and daughters) take in this newest branch of sport and industry. Boys (and even girls) take to the air like ducks to water. A mother said to the president of the oil company mentioned: "You are doing everything in your power to encourage aviation, which naturally increases the sale of your product. Do you not think you owe it as a duty to the mothers of the boys who fly the ships and the girls who ride in them, to help make aviation more practical and safe by erecting suitable markers for guidance of flyers at night?" Here was a problem to which real human interest attached. The head of the company accepted the challenge. He said: We are pioneering in the field of air transportation and we will pioneer in the field of airway illumination. The results has been the greatest of air beacons up and down the Pacific coast that exists in the United States and probably in the world. Just as the Pacific coast led the country with paved automobile roads, it is now leading the country with properly illuminated air beacons. This enterprise represents the progressive or human side of industry which cannot be figured in col dollars and cents. ROSENWALD GIVES LIBRARIES FOR RURAL SOUTH ROSENWALD GIVES LIBRARIES FOR RURAL SOUTH BOTH RACES WILL PROFIT BY BENEFICENT SCHEME OF A GREAT PHILANTHROPIST CHARLOTTE, N. C., Sept. 3— One of the first steps in an amb tious plan to make adequate library activities available to the millions of the South, white and colored, has just been taken here by the accept ance by the Charlotte Library Board of a conditional gift of $80,000 from the Rosenwald Fund which lo to be met by the local gifts of con- siderable larger amount, the whole to be used during the next five years in developing a county-wide library system. With the funds thus provided, a system of distribution will be arranged reaching all the schools of the county, and the children will be trained to use the library and taught to care for the books. Other means of distribution, probably by substations and library trucks, will be provided in order to make the services of the library accessible to everybody in the county. It is one of the express conditions of the Rosenwald gift that equal service shall there are many laws on our statute there are many laws that be provided for the people of both ALPHI PHI ALPHA CONVENTION IN ATLANTA, DEC. 27 ELABORATE PREPARTIONS ARE UNDER WAY FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT OF VISITORS-500 (FIVE HUNDRED) DELEGATES EXPECTED. ATLANTA, 'GA, Sept. 3.—The annual convention of Alpha Phi Alpha, national Negro college fraternity, will be held in Atanta, December 27, to January 1, and is expected to bring to the city, five hundred delegates from all parts of the country, according to an announcement by Forrester B. Washington, Director of the Atlanta School of Social Work, and general chairman of the convention committee of arrangements. A large committee is at work planning for the entertainment of the convention and expects to make the meeting the most notable in the history of the organization. In addition to the serious features of the program, which will include business sessions and the discussion of the educational and fraternal interests of the race, there will be a succession of social features in the nature of smokers, barbecues, parties, athletic events, and the like. One day will be given to an auto trip to Tuskegee Institute. The local committee of arrangements assisting Chairman Washington is composed of B. T. Harvey, C. L. Reynolds, C. R. Reeves, LeRoy Carter, L. D. Milton, John Hope, Jr., A. T. Walden, Myron Towns, J. P. Comillion, and H. S. Murphy, each of whom is the chairman of a subcommittee responsible for some phase of the program. Alphi Phi Alphi is the oldest Negro college fraternity in the country and has seventy-sven chapters widely distributed, four of which are in this city. This, however, will be the first national convention the organization has held in the South. The people of Atlanta, are looking forward with great interest to the coming of the convention and are determined to overlook no feature of typical southern hospitality. This appropriation is part of a plan recently inaugurated by the trustees of the Rosenwald Fund to provide library service for any county in the. South which will undertake partial support of the program during the first five years and entire responsibility for it at the end of that time. The sum of $500, 000, has already been set aside by the Fund for immediate appropriation to communities wishing to co-plan, and it is understood that millions more will be made available as needed. The appropriation to Charlotte, and Mecklerburg, county, is the second big gift made in this connection, the first being a five-year grant of $20,000 to Davidson county, N. C. Clark Freeman of Atlanta, former field secretary of the Commission on Interracial Cooperation and now a secretary of the Rosenwald Fund, represents the Fund in arranging these grants. SAFER HOSPITALS In going to a hospital for treatment it is customary and altogether natural for the patient to feel that he is entering a safe haven where his ills will be corrected and his suffering assuaged. In other places where large numbers of people gather under one roof, warning signs, such as "Locate the Nearest Exit,' and "No Smoking," indicate the danger of fire, but the average individual has no thought of fire hazards in connection with hospitals. A study of the fire record of hospitals, however, as compiled by The National Board of Fire Underwriters, indicates that fires occur in such institutions at the rate of more than one a day and the annual loss exceeds $1,000,000. Shortly after the Cleveland Clinic disaster, the National Board unan- READ THE NEGRO STARA -A RACE PAPER- JUST KIDS— The Dictates of Fashion— By Ad Carter SAY GRAMPA - JUS DETWEEN ME AN YOU - ICANT UNDERSTAND WHY SUZIE'S DRESSES IS GETTIN' SHORTER AN MOLLY'S IS GETTIN' LONGER - KIN YOU UNDERSTAND?

A NOTABLE PUBLIC SERVICE Gas is coming into greater prominence than ever before. It is supreme as a fuel in both industrial and domestic life and is constantly finding new uses. Possibly the most important development is in the field of central heating systems where gas, because of its efficiency, economy, time and labor saving qualities, is swiftly displacing old style solid fuel furnaces in modern homes, while use of natural gas is one of the greatest agencies for conserving the nation's oil supplies. IODINE IN SOUTH CAROLINA Science teaches that fruits and vegetables are essential to a diet that is to maintain health and normal well being. The idea of analyzing foods to determine their iodine content was instigated in Bamberg county, South Carolina, and much interest has been aroused through the discovery that fruits and vegetables raised in the state contain enormously greater quantities of iodine than do those from Northern and inland states. Diseases due to lack of iodine are more or less prevalent in all parts of the United States, North and West of South Carolina, except for a narrow strip along the Atlantic Coast. It has been estimated that 30 million people in the United States are today suffering from a deficiency of iodine. It is of great importance to people resident in other areas that fruits and vegetables grown in regions where the iodine-content is sufficient, be made available to them. It is believed that canning does not in any way affect their iodine-content. imously adopted a resolution offering services of its engineering force to aid hospital authorities in developing plans for saving life and property from fire, explosion and similar hazards. In furtherance of this resolution a booklet has been published entitled "Fire Prevention and Protection as applied to Hospitals." By writing to the National Board at 85 John Street, New York City, those interested may obtain copies of this treatise, which describes many hospital fire hazards and how they may be eliminated. Five Cents Per Copy. BAPTISTS HOLD GREATEST SESSION IN HISTORY In the heart of America in the city of Kansas City, Mt., by the request of the Vine Street Baptist Church, pastored by Dr. D. A. Holmes, backed up by the Baptist Churches and ministers of both cities, met the National Baptist Convention of America. Truly it was the largest session in the history of the organization. President L. K. Williams, D. D., LL.D., called the meeting to order and gave some very sane advice for the ruling of the meeting. The motto of the meeting was, "The Pastor, God's Key Man." The opening devotion was conducted by Revs. L. M. Terrell, Ga., Thos. J. Bellinger, D. D. Ala, and J. M. Binge, Florida. An able address was delivered by Rev. H. E. Jones, "The Pastor, His Conversion and Call." At 10:20 chairman D. A. Holmes took charge and we listened to some of the most heart-felt welcome addresses that has been ours to hear anywhere, by Governor Henry S. Cansfield, Mayor Albert I, Beach, President D. A. Holmes, D. D., of Baptist State Convention; Rev. S. A. Washington, D. D. Rev. E, A. Rankins, D. D., Dr. J. E. Perry, Mr. T. B. Watkins. Each person filled his place giving credit to the National Convention and doing honor to the occasion. Rev. J. T. Goodall, D. D, Philadelphia, fully and ably responded. Dr. E. W. D. Isaac preached a strong doctrinal sermon to the young ministers. The plea for the Foreign Mission Board was given to the convention and they responded in a large way. The Wednesday afternoon session was featured by the most wonderful address by President L. K. Williams. It wasall that heart, head and soul could hope for. The reports proved that much business has been done. The same officers were elected. The evening session was opend in a spiritual devolon by Revs. L. M. Curtiss, California and T. L. Lovelace, Indiana, Rev. Chas. H. Brown, D. D., South Carolina, spoke on "The Pastor, Personally." It was good. The American Baptist Theological Seminary was represented. Rev. O. L. Halley, D. D.

Sinvg Jesus included us, itis in- gratitude for us not to Include Him in all things, ils sacrificial life was devoted to our redemption. We were the cen- ter of his purpose. His Jove for us and desire to include us, moved Him from the Throne to the manger. Each thoughtful man should make a budget and in it put first things first, “In the beginning, God.” God first, God most and God all the time in Lfe’s program, If He directs our business life it can never fail. If He directs our spiritual life, it will triumph. The plan in which Jesus Js, never faileth. He will serve with us as a gs a co-laborer and as a Master, As we sow we shall‘reap, true, both in quantity and in quality. If one would leave footprints on the sands of time, he must _ stamp his work with his soul's blood. In the morning sow thy aced and in the evening withold not thy hand. Our budget should Include God’s gift first. The text suggests that we give with a purpose, that we give with a passion, that we give with a pleasure, that we give with propor- tion and that we give with prayer. The greater the sincere sacrifica the richer the sacrificer, Christ bought us with His blood and all we have is His. THOUGHTS If you have no budget make one today and Include Christ, Trains cannot be run without a system, houses carnot be built with- out a plan neither can money be wisely spent without a budget.

Continued from last week) Having had much experience in the affairs of home, it appeals to me to write these thoughts; I think I said in a previous issue, that home is what we make it and that it is true; and where there is division, there is strife; when a house is divided, against itself, it cannot stand, so says our Master: If a kingdom is divided against itself, it is brought to desolation, and in cases of this kind, we will find that if we fail to co-operate at home, we will soon find ourselves losing ground; there must be co-operation if one wants to be successful. Let us therefore first of all, learn to rule well at home. Before taking up other matters, according to the Scripture, if you know not how to manage, at home, how can you manage for others? Some may ask, What is Man's Duty at home? It is true, not every one knows the home duty. First, ask yourself the question, "What is home? If you first know what home is, the next is to find one's duty a home—Blessed home, sweet happy home; there is no place like home. Home is a place where one may pitch his tent to dwell, whether it be his own or not. if there's where he intends to dwell, that's home: a place of rest, at which to store your belongings and product; a place to make preparation for living; a place to sit and enjoy that for which one has labored, where the loved ones can be at peace; a place of joy, a place of happiness. Home is a place where one can be protected from intruders, evils, storms, rain, heat and cold. Home is a place where the father can protect and care for his little flock, his family, his children, his household and everything that is within his gates. A place of comfort where one can lie down and have peaceful sleep, fearing no evil, knowing that the father watches over his children, even as our Heavenly Father watches over His children when they are asleep, keeping the devil from destroying them. The mother puts her child to bed for rest in sleep; Our Heavenly Father puts us to sleep, when we lie down to rest and He watches over us; He wakes us at the proper time and many of us do not appreciate so great and noble a blessing, as we should. I wonder if many of us have ever thought seriously over this matter: What if we did not awake after going to sleep? What if we could not go to sleep, and yet be sleepy? Then, what must we do to manifest our appreciation, and duty to home to make home what it ought to be? One must come to the conclusion to know that "every tub must sit on its own bottom" and that he must weild the ax for himself, if he would be anything at all; first lay aside all things of no profit and let these thoughts come within you: If any one would build a house he must dig deep down in the earth that he may lay a solid foundation on which to build, so that when the storms come upon his house, even he is in bed, is not afraid because he knows the foundation and is not afraid to trust it; but can sleep in peace; all this is combined to help make the home what it should be, and with the standard of home-its properly raised, it will help make this country a safe place in which to live.

You never knew Flour so different. Try RED STAR FLOUR The Sad Case of THINGS would THAT'S A HOT CLEANER! TOAST- SOCDEAR? The Sad Case of Socrates have been a lot more pleasant for Socrates, the old Greek philosopher, if electricity had been available in his day. Socrates was the old boy, you remember, who was famous for three things; his beard, his bizarre taste in drinks, and his wife Xantippe. People used to look at his long, flowing white beard and give him credit for being the smartest man in the world. Then they would hear his wife Xantippe land on him in the kitchen and raise a couple of yards of hide with some blistering remarks, and they would revise their opinions. It was Xantippe's constant nagging which finally decided Socrates on taking to drink. The trouble was the kind of drinks he took to. He couldn't have done worse if he got hold of some American bootleg hootch. The Hemlock had wood alcohol in it. LIGHT'S GOLDEN JUB Fiftieth Anniversary of the cent Lamp by Thomas A.

Socrates or something, and Socrates was soon pushing up the daisies while Xantippe was left disconsolate without a soul in the world to scold. To return to our first remark, life would have been pleasanter for poor old Socrates if he had enjoyed electric service. With electricity to light her home, clean herrugs, run her sewing machine, cook her waffles, percolate her coffee and even curl her hair, don't you think there would have been a big improvement in Xantippe's disposition? We do, because we know what a boon electric service is to every woman who keeps house today. KANSAS GAS AND ELECTRIC COMPANY "At Your Service" LEE OCTOBER 21, 1929 Invention of the Incande- Edison.
