The following is an extract from Marcus Garvey's famous speech to the jury on the occasion of his celebrated trial, printed in his book, "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Garvey," or "Africa for the Africans," volume II:
"I am a Negro. I make absolutely no apology for being a Negro because my God created me to be what I am, and as I am so will I return to my God, for He knows just why He created me as He did. So, gentlemen, you will understand that behind the whole business proposition lies the spirit of the movement. I have no time to go into the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, but I say this: I know there are certain people who do not like me because I am black; they don't like me because I am not born here, though no fault of mine.
"I didn't bring myself into this western world. You know the history of my race. I was brought here; I was sold to some slave master in the island of Jamaica. Some Irish slave master who subsequently gave my great grandfather his name. Garvey is not an African name; it is an Irish name, as Johnson is not an African name, Garcia is not an African name, Thompson and Tobias are not African names. Where did we get those names from? We inherited them from our own slave masters, English, French, Irish or Scotch. So, if I was born in Jamaica, it was no fault of mine. It was because that slave ship which took me to Jamaica did not come to American ports. That is how some Negroes of America were not born in the West Indies.
"We did not come here of our own free will. We were brought here, and so the question of birth does not enter into the question of the Negro. It was a matter of accident. Will you blame me for the accident of being a Jamaican Negro and not an American Negro? Surely you will not. But there is a bigger question involved. It is a question of race. What are you going to do with this question of race? You may sit quietly by, but it is going to be serious later on, and that is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association is endeavoring to assist you in solving the Negro problem by helping the Negro to become enterprising, independent politically, and by having a country of his own. If you follow me down the ages you will see within a hundred years you are going to have a terrible race problem in America, when you will have increased and the country will become over populated. It will be a fight for existence between two opposite races. The weak will have to go down in defeat before the strong. In the riots of Washington, East St. Louis, Chicago, Tulsa, study the race question and you will find that some serious thinking must be done now to solve this problem; otherwise our children will be confronted with it. Do you know when you want bread and the other fellow wants it, when there is only one loaf—what is going to happen? Enmiry and pressure are going to spring up and a fight will ensue. That is why the Universal Negro Improvement Association has started this proposition to redeem Africa and build up a country of our own, so as not to molest you in the country your fathers founded hundred

NEGROES JAILED FOR PARKING GO FREE AS JAILER, TOO, IS CHARGED
New York Magistrate Amazingly Severe with Negroes Who Violated Parking Law Himself Gets "Ticket"—Chief Magistrate Saves the Situation—Imposes Fines in New Trial
(From the New York Tribune, Nov. 11) Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman had disposed of about fifty cases. In Traffic Court yesterday, including those of reyen Negroes accused of parking their automobiles in the streets; all of whom had been sent to jail, four of them without the alternative of paying a fine, when Patrolman Julius Kohnsky, of Traffo Squad F, entered the courtroom.
"Your honor," said Patrolman Kohnsky. "I have a complaint of parking against you."
"Stop outside," directed Magistrate Goodman
The policeman displayed the summons to Chief Magistrate McAdoo, who signed it with 149 others for similar offenses in a few days ago, and explained that a car owned by Henry M. Goodman, of 259 West 94th Street, had been parked for four hours October 31 in front of 228 West 42nd Street. Magistrate Goodman said that he had not used the automobile on that day. He also said that his child was ill. The chief magistrate referred the case to Magistrate Macryre, who also was sitting in Trifle Court, and the latter adjourned it to next Thursday.
Meantime news of the offence charged against Magistrate Goodman had seeped rapidly through the court, even to the pen, where the Negroes under prison sentence for similar offenses were awaiting transfer to a jail.
Every layman except the Negroes received it with delight. The Negroes somewhat sullyly demanded when they might expect Magistrate Goodman to join them. On being informed that no sentence, not even a fined, had yet been imposed upon him, the Negroes unanimously set up a theremony which as both bitter and persistent.
It was to be gathered from their remarks that they didn't wish Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman any ill fortune, but they regretted exceedingly that the city had no Negro magistrate before whom he might be arraigned for sentence. This, they explained was a wishtertied in no spirit of malice, but purely in the interest of justice. They had a premonition, they said, that no prison sentence was going to be imposed upon Magistrate Henry M. R. Goodman.
The ingubrious chant of the seven Negroes' penetrated to the office of Chief Magistrate McAdoo, who found that Magistrate Goodman dealt with the cases of 'the four Negroes, whom he sent to jail without alternatives, as a court of special sessions, but had neglected to accept walters"
"He treated the case honestly," said Chief Magistrate McAdoo, "but in the legal sense mistakenly, and as a magistrate he had entire jurisdiction as such and without regard to the Court of Special Sessions."
Therefore, continued the chief magistrate, it would be legal and in order for him to recall the four Negroes, take their walters and dispose of the cases 'has new ones.' He immediately had the four Negroes, John Robinson, Albert Barrett, Ernest Williams and Sam Brown, rearranged and imposed fines of $5 each instead of the sentences of two days and three days which had been imposed by Magistrate Goodman.
Teaching of the Sciences In Colleges for Negroes
A conference on "The Teaching of the Sciences in Colleges for Negroes" will be held at Tallahassee College, Tallahasda, Alabama, on Monday, November 14, 1937. In connection with the dedication of the Silsby Hall of Science: Teachers of science in all Negro colleges of the country have been invited to attend as well as presidents and deans of those colleges. Four prominent science educators will give addresses which will be followed by discussions.
Citadel of Justice Becomes Lynching Spot For 18-Year-Old Negro
COLUMBIA, Tenn. Nov. 12.—A citadel of justice here became the lynching spot for Henry Choate, eighteen-year-old Negro, a few hours after his alleged criminal attack yesterday on a white girl here.
Several hours after officers had taken the Negro into custody at a farm house where a blood-stained pistol was found, a band of 350 men, many armed, successfully stormed the fall, battered the door with sludge hammers and captured Choate.
At the courthouse, where large crowds had gathered, Choate was said to have confessed beating the girl over the head with a pistol. The Roy, J. R. Parsons, one among a group of prominent citizens who endeavored to allow the law to take its course, declared he heard the confession.
A nurse was placed about the neck of the Negro and he was hung from a second story window, of the building.
AID TO EMIGRATION INCREASED BY JAPAN
New Budget Provides 4,971,000
Yen, a Rise of 1,450,000
More Free Passages to Brazil
- Likely
TOKIO, Nov. 12 — The section for the encouragement of emigration in the new Japanese budget provides 4,971,000 yen, an increase of 1,450,000 over last year.
The increase is virtually accounted for by the voting of 1,800,000 yen for the construction of a Colonial museum at Tokio which will furnish information regarding Formosa, Baghailen, Korea, the Pacific mandated islands, Argentina, Chile and Brazil. The remainder of the appropriation goal for the support of three emigrant training schools, ten emigration associations for encouraging emigration and for providing reduced passages.
The total voted is too small to provide for any sudden expansion of Japan's emigration, but its increase indicates the government's intention to stimulate the emigration of Japanese farmers, whose economic difficulties have been causing a series of economic and political problems. Brazil now receives the largest share of Japanese emigrants. San Paulo has 55,000 Japanese settlers owning 165,000 acres and leasing 50,000 more. Of the total of 16,184 emigrants leaving Japan in 1926-1927, 8,699 went to Brazil. The number in 1925-1926 was 4,908 and in 1924-1925, 3,689. The current year's appropriations are based upon the expectation that a somewhat larger number of assisted passengers to Brazil will be required during the coming year.
SEES RIFT IN WEST AFRICA
Angola Bank Head Says Portugal Must Aid its Colony
LISBON. Nov 10. — Senior Cunha Leal, Governor of the Bank of Angola, who has returned to Lisbon, says that the economic situation in Angola is unsatisfactory, and that if the Portuguese government does not soon provide the West African colony with the assistance it needs and support the policy of economy of the present High Commission there, consequence of a serious nature may result.
In answer to a question as to what these consequences might be, Senior Cunha Leal stated that he did not believe any political uprising would occur in the colony, but that he could not fall to point out the international aspect of the situation that would arise "if ever for a little time relations between Angola and Portugal should be interrupted."
The sovereignty which Portugal exercises over Angola, he said, according to modern doctrines and modern concepts, may well be enlisted "a mandate by consent."
Both the \Belgian Congo and Northern Rhodesia (British) seek an outlet to the Atlantic by a railroad now under construction in the Portuguese territory of Angola

LEAGUE MEDDLERS NOT WANTED AT HAVANA MEETING
Report That League Will Send Official to Pan-American Conferences Causes Sensation—Cuba Will Publish Denial—Chilean Would Bar Delicate Subjects
WASHINGTON, Nov 12 — Cuba will lose no time in positively assuring the government at Washington that President Machado has not invited the Secretary General of the League of Nations to accredit an unofficial observer of the league to the Pan-American Conference in Havana next January. Announcement from league headquarters at Geneva that an unofficial observer will represent the league at the Pan-American Conference in response to an urgent invitation from the Cuban government caused a sensation here. It took the Department of State completely by surprise.
Report Incredible
To high officials of the administration it seemed incredible that at the moment when the president and people of Cuba are urging the President of the United States to honor the Pan-American Conference with his presence on the opening day, the Cuban government should have been secretly negotiating with the League of Nations to poka its nose into exclusively American affairs.
If Cuba has been guilty of any such lack of consideration, it is probable the next Pan-American Conference would not boast of the presence of President Coolidge.
Receipt of official assurance from Cuba that there is to be no diplomat from Geneva hanging around the Pan-American Conferences will doubtless be followed very soon by formal announcement of the final decision of President Coolidge to go to Havana to welcome the delegates and to speak at the conference's opening session.
Trip Eagerly Awaited
Meantime, assurances from all over Latin America are pouring in upon the Department of State that the possibility of the Presidential mission to Havana has aroused the most eager and cordial interest there. The southern republics, it is said, sincerely hope affairs of state will not prevent President and Mrs. Coolidge from being in Havana for the congress.
Cuba hopes President Coolidge will make the trip from Key West to Havana and return on board an American man-o'-war with an appropriate escort. This will facilitate the plans of the Cuban government. It is explained, to make the reception of the distinguished visitors worthy of the close friendship existing between the Cuban and American peoples.
Whether the President will make the trip on board the U.S. S. Mayflower or on a battleship has not yet been decided.
SANTIAGO, Chile. Nov. 12 —Carlos Silva Vildosola, one of the Chilean delegation of the forthcoming Pan-American conference at Havana, would like to see all questions dealing with the anti-American feeling, always latent in certain countries, eliminated from the discussions at the conference, he declared today.
Emphasizing that the opinions he expressed were not official, as he had resolved no instructions from the government as yet, Vildosola continued "Such questions are bound to provoke an unpleasant, even a bitter atmosphere. I would like to see the conference foster' everything proper to unite American nations and avoid anything tending to divide them or aggravate existing differences. Besides, there are many interesting problems to be included in a useful Pan-American program that such thorny questions can well be put aside.
"We can do real work in the matters of international law, communications, commercial facilities, industrial developments, mutual aid for the bottomment of social conditions, education, intellectual relations of every description and the promotion of a campaign for better understanding through better knowledge."
The fact that the conference will open under delicate circumstances, due to unsettled boundary disputes and many other existing problems affecting national interests and national pride was called to his attention. Vilasoslai said he believed that it would be to the best interest of the conference if none of those questions on those connected with them were touched upon. He said Chile's experience at the other conferences had been rather unfortunate and that she must make certain that no nation would be allowed to promote discussions involving such questions.
If conclusion Wisconsin said he had always been skeptical about the practical results of the Pan-American conference, he declared that he believed the American nations were now as far from facing created a Pan-American feeling as the originators of the movement were of its inauguration.

Negroes Bombed While Learning to Vote in Tennessee Church MEMPHIS, Tenn., Nov. 9. One thousand Negroes were endangered here tonight when a bomb exploded in a church building where they had gathered on the eve of the municipal election to receive instructions regarding the marking of ballots tomorrow. None was injured. Police were detailed to guard the building. A man was said to have been seen running from the vicinity of the church just before the blast.
LAW TO LEGALIZE ALIENS' STATUS IS ADVOCATED
Commissioner Would Allow Allens Who Entered Prior to the Quota Acts Residence Rights by Submitting to an Examination
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—Commissioner General of Immigration Hull, in a letter to Representative McGregor of Buffalo, made public today, advocated legislation to permit allens who are in the United States without legal status to apply for examination with a view to legalizing their residence.
Commissioner Hull's letter was in reply to one from Representative McGregor in which the latter asked if something could not be done to correct the situation of alien residents who have established connections and who upon seeking to return here after departure for Canada or some other country cannot reenter.
This Commissioner General's letter reads; in part:
"I have for some time urged the passage of legislation which will permit the Commissioner General, with the approval of the Secretary of Labor, to legalize the residence of aliens who entered prior to the quota acts, in the absence of evidence that they deliberately evaded the law at the time of such entry, and who are desirable from an immigration standpoint.
"I am sure that if this authority were given it, would be exercised in a manner that would relieve the situation without adversely affecting the settled order of things."
"It would be unwise, to my mind, to place any law" upon the statute books which might prove an indecisive for aliens unlawfully hero to depart from the country, as it might develop upon the occasion of their attempted reentry, that they were inadmissible, and we would then be confronted with just the situation which you seek to correct.
"In other words, I believe it best to have a law which will permit aliens who are in this country without legal status to apply for examination with a view to legalizing their residence rather than that the law shell apply only to aliens who depart and seek reentry."
NO U. S. CURB-ON NICARAGUA
Financial Survey Requested by Both Parties, Says State Department
WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.—The financial survey of Nicaragua, now being undertaken by William P. Cumberland, former financial advisor to Haiti, was explained by State Department officials today as having been requested by both political parties in Nicaragua and does not mean any American financial management for that country.
Mr Cumberland resigned his work for the 'Haitian government preparatory to accepting a position' in the United States, after a three-month internate. When 'Nicargagua demands for an American loan became pressing, he was preyed upon to use this three-month period in a financial survey of that country'. The survey is to be a most thorough one, after which the bankers will know to what extent Nicargagua is able to borrow and what her guarantees will be.
The one supremely good health-building tonic that is also the one great weight producer known to modern science the country over is McCoy's Tablet. They build flesh - whose flesh is needed - ankinson cheeks, neck and chest - and many a man and woman, skimmy and scrawny, have thanked McCoy's, after a few weeks treatment, and improved improvement in looks and figure.
Many times the increase in weight is astonishing - one exceedingly thin woman gained 10 pounds in 22 days. McCoy takes all the risk. Rend this hounded guarantee: If after taking 4 McCoy's Tablets or 2 Ons-Dozen boxes of weight man or woman doesn't gain at least 5 pounds and feel completely satisfied with the marked improvement in health - your drugstail is authorized to treat. The name McCoy's Col Lily Oil Tablets has been shortened - that ask for McCoy's Tablets at any drug store in America.

RUMORS OF PLOT TO KILL I. C. U., NATIVES' CHAMPION
White Man Plans to Throttle I. C. U., Lawful Organization, Which Resists Enslaving of the South African Native—An African's Statement
To the Editor of "Abantu-Batho":
Sir — The whole air is pregnant with the rumor that the "Industrial and Commercial Workers Union" must go. This body, I understand, has been organized for the purpose of the grievances of the native workers of various places of work, and since itsception it has unfailingly and vigorously performed its duties of trying to bring about 'peace' and harmony between the master and the servant, i.e., that the master should not use the hands of servant for a heeding and inadequate remuneration, and that the servant should in turn render satisfactory services to his master. But today the I. C. U. in doing all these things for the interest of both white and black, is accused or creating the spirit of antagonism between the employers and the employees; and, therefore, it must go or must be abolished. Surely, this is not only startling, but very amazing! Because I, for one, fail totally to see why the white man should be afraid of the I. C. U., seeing that it is merely a body of armless and defenseless nows whose only hope is on the courts of law. And inasmuch as the man has been spoken of a man who wants to settle complains peacefully, lawfully and justly? In fact, that is not the intention of the I. C. U. to set the black people against the whites, nor does it tell its members to hate and fight any white man they come across because he is white, nor has it over told or suggested to its members that they should be up in arms against their masters should the latter refuse to increase the former's wages. Truly, it is not go. And why it is accused of fostering the spirit of animosity among Europeans and Africans is not known. I dare say that even the combatant action taken by some European associations (those of the farms, in particular) against the activities of the I. C. U. is unjustifiable and groundless; that there is a burning desire for more wages in the rank and file of all the native working classes is an undeniable truth. Because, otherwise, the I. C. U. and other native organizations must be responsible for this "smoke without fire." In other words, that is, there wouldn't be such things as the I. C. U. and native congresses if there were no grievances from natives as a whole. The white man (particularly of the British clan), ever since he landed in this sunny land of Africa, has most loudly and invariably preached that there is justice and fair play under the British flag for all people of all descriptions, and that there is no slavery or bondage. Now, the question is: "Does the black man, under the Union Jack and in the British Empire enjoy justice, fair play and liberty? If he does, why is he deprived of freedom of the operation of the land of his birth? Does the native administration act, the operation of which commenced on the first of September, 1927, intend to place the native generally under contentment? The native under the union flag works to two shillings to two shillings to twenty shillings or a day, whereas his mere duty is to sit or stand and watch the poor native working hard all day long. Now, could it be said that the black man of South Africa is free and better than a slave or bondman? Certainly not; only the feeble-minded and those who are blind to the truth will hold that idea. It has constantly been maintained by some anti-natives that the native naturally is unlively and as aggressive. Positively this is not true. Humanly and broadly speaking the black man is an animal of marvelous courtship, and from which the laws of etiquette may be seen and learned. His courtesy and friendliness are more notably visible when in contact with people of various types and different stations in life.
King Zoser's Tomb Found Near Sakkara
LONDON, (A. P).—The discovery at Sakkara, near Cairo, Egypt, of what is believed to be the tomb of King Zoser, famous Pharoh of the third dynasty (about 4000 B.C.), is reported in special dispatches from Cairo. The find is said to be more important archaeologically than the discovery of the tomb of King Tut-ankh-Amen. The work, which was being directed by P. M. Furlif of the antiquities department of the Egyptian Government, has been temporarily halted by the cave-in of a side shaft leading down to the tomb, but "the glint of precious matals far underground has been seen," the dispatches say.
The discovery of a tomb believed to be that of Ima-Hojot, architect to King Zoser and builder of the step pyramid near Sakkara, was reported by excavators working in that region last March. It was also suggested that the tomb might have been temporarily used by Zoser while the step pyramid was being built, or that it might have been that of Zoser's Queen. In the third dynasty, known as the Memphite dynasty, were kings, one of them Zoser, built huge mastaba tombs at Het Khalil, near Abydos, further up the Nile than Sakarn. Ima-Hojot then built a mortar monument for King Zoser, the step pyramid.
INDEPENDENCE OF ABYSSINIA SEEN AT STAKE IN TSANA DAM DISPUTE; CONTRACT WITH U.S. FIRM SAID TO BE SUBJECT TO BRITISH APPROVAL
Egypt Deeply Stirred Over Threat to the Nile. While London Press Sees Rebuff to British Government—Abyssinian Envoy on Arrival in London Allays British Apprehension by Asserting That Agreement with N. Y. Engineers Cannot Hold If England Disagrees
The dam to be built at Lake Tsana in Abyssinia with the aid of American capital is a problem involving not only Abyssinian sovereignty and British treaty rights, but American private interests. Sidelights upon this problem are furnished by Dr. Jacques Faitlovitch, former Professor of Philology at the University of Geneva and one of the pioneers in the exploration of Abyssinia. Dr. Faitlovitch is now in New York.
Asked for his views on the Lake Tsana question, Dr. Faitlovitch pointed out that it was by no means to be regarded as something new. Extraordinary of the Abyssinian government, declared fatly on his arrival at Liverpool abroad the liner Laconia from New York today, thus laying a
"Abyssinia is very feagulus of her independence," he said, "and apprehensive of penetration by foreign powers. Although the present Regent is a man of Western education and culture, keepy alive to their benefits, he is not unmindful of the fate of other more or less primitive sections of the Dark Continent under the advance of the white man's civilization. He believes that Abyssinia will be able by her own efforts to continue along the path that was broken for her by her great king, Menelik.
Question of Sovereignty
"Ras Taffari and the governing class in that country are therefore very sensitive when it comes to questions which they believe to affect the sovereignty of Abyssinia. It is only natural that they should consider the interests of their own country first; all that they may be expected to do is to be willing to reconcile these interests with foreign interests, as long as this does not conflict with the principle of Abyssinian sovereignty and independence.
"In these circumstances there is naturally a feeling at Addis Ababa that America, by virtue of her remoteness, offers no threat, and it may, perhaps, be due in part to this sentiment that the Lake Tsaana Dam project has been considered with a view to American participation in preference to any other. The ruling circles in the Abyssinian capital believe the American enterprise has the least 'politicalaint' and that it threatens no infringement of Abyssinian independence."
Speaking of the importance of Lake Tsana to Abyssinia, Dr. Faitlovitch said that, apart from its obvious advantage to the agricultural interests of that country, it is important also from another standpoint. There are a number of islands in the lake, some of which have famous monasteries. Fearing that the building of the proposed dam will raise the water level of the lake so that these islands will be submerged, the clergy have been opposing the project very strenuously, and they have the backing of the people who are subject to their influence.
Answering a question as to the British claims under the Anglo-Abyssinian treaty of 1902, Dr. Faitlovitch said:
"It is, of course, a fact that this treaty provides that England must first consent if a dam is to be built at Lake Teanna. Abyssima itself has no need just now of such a dam. In fact, there is some apprehension in that country it prove harmful, to some patent at least, to the best interests of Abyssima."
Egypt Is Deeply Stirred Over Threat to the Nile
LONDON, Nov. 7.—Reports of the negotiation of an agreement for the construction of a dam across the Blue Nile at Lake Teana have stirred the London press, greatly, although the Government itself has given no indication of alarm.
The Government, instead, is awaiting the appearance in Downing Street of the Abyssinian representative in the negotiations, Dr. Wargen Martin, to explain what has become somewhat of a mystery here.
News of the project has stirred Egypt to its depths. "The Nile is the life of Egypt," runs an old saying and the Egyptian Government, after a special Sunday session, informed Prime Minister Sarwat Pashn, now in London, of the "profound emotion" which news of the dam concession has caused throughout Egypt.
The Egyptian Government will request the Egyptian Minister at Washington to furnish as soon as possible full particulars of the project.
Whatever the British Foreign Office actually thinks of the situation, its spokesman do not indicate any alarm over what the London press is viewing as a threat to Great Britain's vital rights.
Editorial comment in London today was taut. The Daily News saw behind the agreement an intention on the part of the Abyssinian Government to rebuff the British Government, while it termed the project a "disturbing episode." The paper said that "whether or not President Coolidge bestowed his blessing on the scheme, the issue does not rest with President Coolidge. It is an issue between Abyssinine and Great Britain."
Dr. Martin Soothes Feelings
LOSDON, Nov. 7. "We cannot build a regime unless the British government approves." Dr. W. C. Martin, envoy
---
extraordinary of the Abyssinian government, declared flatly on his arrival at Liverpool about the liner 'Laconia' from New York today, thus laying a flurry aroused here by a report that the British government had approved a concession to the J. G. White Engineering Company of New York for the construction of a dam at Lake Tsaana, on the Blue Nile, which would affect the irrigation of Egypt and the Sudan. The British government contends that Abyssinia is bound by treaty not to construct a dam without the assent of this country, and this reading of the situation is now confirmed by the Abyssinian envoy.
Martin Denies Contract
"There is no contract," Dr. Martin said, denying a report to this effect from New York. He asserted that all his government wanted to do, was to meet the wishes of the British government, which desired the dam built. Accordingly, he had tried to find efficient engineers for the work, and he had found them in the White company. The latter had put up proposals which he would submit to his government, he said.
"But if the British government does not want the dam, there is the end of the whole thing." Dr. Martin added.
The Abyssinian envoy this evening cambon to London, where he will discuss the situation with the Foreign Office. The view hold in official circles here is that the Abyssinian government will try to put pressure on the British government in connection with the dam, in order to obtain political concessions, but the Foreign Office is satisfied that, Abyssina has, no intention of trying to evade its treaty obligations to this country.
Eases Egyptian Situation
Incidentally, the furry has had a timely value, from the view of the British government in stressing the identity of British and Egyptian interests as far as the Nile water supply is concerned, and the alarm-excited, at Caliro by the reported contract has had the effect of easing the discussions proceeding here between the British government and Premier Sarwat Pasha" of Egypt as to the future of Anglo-Egyptian relations.
Foreign Secretary Sir Austen Chamberlain this evening reported to the Cabinet on his negotiations with Sarwat, who will depart for Cairo tomorrow, and it is understood that the conversations have so far advanced that the prospect of the successful negotiation of an Anglo-Egyptian treaty of alliance next year seems highly favorable.
Called Tempest In Teapot
LIVERPOOL, England. Nov. 14. The mystery which has attached to the reported negotiations of an agreement between an American engineering corporation and the Abyssinian government for the construction of a dam across the Blue Nile, which has attired the Egyptian government and the British press, is all a "tempest in a teapot." declared Dr. Wagner Martin, Abyssinian representative at the negotiations, who arrived here today, aboard the steamship Laconia.
"There apparently has been a storm in a teapot during my crossing." Dr. Martin said. "Up to date no contract has been signed with the J. G. White Corporation, of New York, and so far as I know, no misunderstanding exists. The British government wants to control the Blue Nile by building a dam at Lake Tsana. The matter has been under discussion for twenty years, and British engineers have estimated the cost at £4,000,000.
"You must understand that this data is being done for the British government. We don't want it in Abyssinia. It is to supply water to the Sudan. If the British government is not satisfied it can drop the matter immediately. We are only anxious to get the British government's wishes. I have been in America for two months looking for an efficient firm of engineers. If the British government disapproves that's the end of the matter."

EXPANSION FUND DRIVE
R. U. SERIOUS? READ THIS!
We thank those who have so generously given of their limited means for the good of the work to which the Negro World is dedicated. It is significant that the greater portion of the amount received has come from the smaller centres, and not from the large cities. It is not the majority who will save the race by fostering those instruments that serve its interests. It has never been so. It perhaps will never be so. Rather, the thinking few have been as Atlas-bearing upon their shoulders the burden that belongs to all.
The Negro World is not a newspaper in the ordinary sense of the word. If it were, there would be no necessity for it to be subsidized by its readers. It is because of the seriousness of its program and policy that it has such hard sledding in the open field of journalistic competition. It is a serious paper for serious people—people who see no sense in fiddling while a racial Rome is in flames. Are you one of the race's serious members? If you are, the way to show it is in a practical manner. Ideas are great, but they must be propagated by means of the dollar. Cast your financial bread upon the racial waters and your children, if not yourselves, will find it after many days in the realization of Negro nationhood. Cut out this coupon and send it in now!

(From The Gold Coast Leader)
There must be very few people whose minds are not disturbed by the present condition of the primary schools in the country, for the quality of instruction imparted in these institutions is far below the standard set up years ago. It is particularly unfortunate that it should be so because there are more young people attending school today than ever before. If a very small proportion of the juvenile population was attending school as in the old days, there would not be much cause for concern since people would reflect that after all only a fraction of the youthful population is affected in this way. But the grave situation which we have to face is that vast numbers of young people are now attending school and instead of elementary education improving with advancing years to meet the requirements of the times it has been in the other direction, and the result is that thousands of youths have been sent out of the schools in the last few years who are ill equipped for the battle of life. The deterioration in the system of primary education has been officially attributed to two main causes, namely, the rush to the schools with the inevitable, growth of the size of classes, and the shortage of trained work. All this sounds plausible, but it is not an explanation that will satisfy those of us who are well acquainted with the system of primary education that served this country so well a few years ago. Granted that the insistent demand for education by the masses and the rush to the schools led to the growth of the size of classes, one may well enquire as to what the Education Department had been doing all the time and why it did not foresee the consequences of the growth of the school population and take steps to meet the requirements of the new situation. That is a pertinent question, and we do not know how it could be met without revealing a lack of foresight on the part of the educational authorities. As to the question of the paucity of qualified teachers to cope with the work in the primary schools, we should point out that it is for the purpose of supplying this deficiency that the Government started the Teachers' Training College at Accrington, and if after a lapse of nearly a decade it has failed to produce the required number of the right type of teachers, then the Government alone is to blame
for this state of affairs. The strange thing about the whole matter is that when there was not a single Training College in the country, teachers were produced who were able to impart instruction of a superior quality to what, we have today when we have training institutions.
But if we look below the surface of things we shall discover that neither the size of classes nor the shortage of qualified teachers is the main reason for the low standard of primary education in the country, but that the real cause is that education is now closely harnessed to imperial policy. It is no longer the policy of the British authorities to provide for the African a system of education that would draw out his latent qualities and allow them to expand to their full growth. The policy now is to bring the education of the black man under effective control and to regress it to fit in with the imperial scheme which is to make the black man nothing else than a producer of wealth for the white races, with the idea of the superiority of the white man strongly impressed upon his mentality. About thirty years, ago when the British Government was less materialistic in its attitude and was not inflamed with the passion for imperial expansion at the cost of the progress of the local authorities in educational matters was to place before the people such facilities for acquiring a sound elementary education as the public finances would permit. To this end the missionary societies were encouraged to do their utmost in advancing education and were not tied down with harsh rules and regulations as we find today; and the result was that much good work was done in laying in the pupils of the primary schools a solid foundation upon which several of them were able to rear a superstructure after school life and to make themselves efficient without passing through the secondary schools. The attitude, of the Government towards the education of the people was then frankly charitable; but the policy of the British authorities now is to develop an educational system for producing a race of Africans with the service habit of mind who can be turned and twisted to suit the purpose of the white man and who would live
mainly to produce wealth for the white races. "If Africa must be developed," they say to themselves, "if must be by the agency of her sons and daughters; and we must, therefore, educate the natives to produce economic wealth." This is the reason why an Advisory Committee on Native Education has been set up at the Colonial Office with such a force detractor of the literate native as Sir Frederick Lugard as one of its prominent members. The British authorities have discerned in the "new" Negro a being who believes in the doctrine of the essential, equality of all races and means to fight his way doggedly to the position now occupied by the white man; and they are carrying out all sorts of experiments with the object of evolving a system of education that will fix the black man permanently in the position of a servant race to the white people be to continue to diffuse knowledge on the subject until we have succeeded in awakening interest in the masses and led them to realize the necessity of combining to establish at least one institution under native control where our youths could be given a sound literary training, with the kind of vocation which will enable them to exploit the natural resources of their country and to produce locally some of the articles which we now have to import from foreign countries. When we have established such a school up the model of the Hampton Teukoise Institute we shall be able to start useful industries, save money in the country, raise our economic status, provide employment for the masses, and abandon our servile attitude of perpetually looking to the white trader for a job.

Commission Appraisher Furthe Self-Governing—No Indians
There are portents indicating to intelligent Africans that it is idle on their part to continue to look for outside assistance. In their educational advance, notwithstanding Achimota and all such paraphernalia of educational reforms. At any rate, our people must have observed the effects of official policy in the low standard of education given in the schools, in the growing weakness in the character of the youth ever since the introduction of the Boy Scout system as evidenced by the growth of juvenile crime in the country. We are not even to expect much assistance from the missionary bodies who had served us so well in the past because under the new Education Ordinance, they would be driven to do certain things which they would not do of their own volition were they in a position to carry on educational work independently of the grants-in-aid. Far from regarding itself as being under an obligation to the missionary societies for discharging the function of educating the people, which is properly the function of the State, the government regards itself as conferring an obligation on them by the grants-in-aid, for it really considers these grants as a subsidy rather than a contribution towards the cost of work done by the missionary bodies on behalf of the State. And so, wherever we turn, we find ourselves confronted with obstacles which leave us with no alternative but to strike out a path for ourselves.
But the experience we are now having in our relations with the British is not a peculiar one. Our friends, the American Negroes, have passed through a similar experience. Thrown upon their own resources in a foreign country, they, found themselves at a period in their history in much the same position as we now find ourselves. But they began to think seriously and to work out their own salvation, and within a few years succeeded in launching out schemes for the betterment of their race. Today the Negroes in America have primary and secondary schools as efficiently managed as those under white control. They have first-class colleges, supported by themselves, such as Livingstone, which produced Akgrey, and industrial institutions like Tuskegee, which gave the youth a sound education and a career. And our task will
be to continue to diffuse knowledge on the subject until we have succeeded in awakening interest in the masses and led them to realize the necessity of combining to establish it least one institution under native control where our youths could be given a sound literary training, with the kind of vocation which will enable them to exploit the natural resources of their country and to produce locally some of the articles which we now have to import from foreign countries. When we have established such a school on the model of the Hampton Tuskegee Institute we shall be able to start useful industries, save money in the country, raise our economic status, provide employment for the masses, and abandon our servile attitude of perpetually looking to the white trader for a job.
NEGRO DROPS $100,000
SUIT IN HOUSE ROW
Browne Says, However, That He is Defermined to Stay In Castleton Hill, S. I., Home
Samuel Browne, Negro letter carrier and center of a race controversy in the Castleton Hill residential district of Staten Island, discontinued a few days ago in Richmond County Supreme Court before Justice Townsnd Soudder a suit he instituted two years ago, asking $100,000 damages from Musco M. Robertson, a wealthy real estate operator and next-door neighbor, and eight other white neighbors on the ground that they sought to deprive him of his home.
Browne, his wife, a teacher in Public School No. 16, Grant City, S. L. and their four children live at 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, a residential district developed by the Robertson-Development Company, of whidi Musco M. Robertson is head. Robertson lives at No. 65. Robertson and five other residents were. Indicated on John Doe warrants, charging conspiracy to oust Browne from the community in 1926, but the case against Robertson was dropped by Supreme Court Justice Mitchell May in Brooklyn a year ago on grounds of insufficient evidence.
Mrs. Browne has charged that a gang of six or seven men invaded the property early one morning and destroyed shrubbery and broke windows. Since that time a policeman has constantly been on guard.
Discontinuance of the suit, Brownow said, does not mean surrender. He 'said' he is determined to keep his home.
500 Beauties Spoil Tag Meeting in Philippines
MANILA. The Filipino woman in coy, the man extremely susceptible and an easy victim to feminine charm. This fact accounts for the complete failure of a Zamboanga meeting where every one was to be tagged and a big contribution gathered for the "independence" fund that keeps the Philippine press bureau in Washington going.
Five hundred ladies, all in their best, attended. Such a number of bewildering beauties is unusual in Zamboanga: The men were carried away completely. Orators spoke as they had never spoken before, even the least able found themselves masters for the moment of an easy eloquence. Then the ladies sang, and after pieces by an orchestra of tinier daughters of Eve there were more and even better speeches.
Great enthusiasm enthralled the crowd. But it was for the ladies, and it embraced the management, and in a final burst of eloquence the meeting was dismissed before any collection was taken!
Bachelorhood Almost Disgrace in Early Days
To be unmarried was more than a calamity in the early days of New England; it was virtually a disgrace. A bachelor was a harassed creature looked at an awkward and sometimes taxed for failure to assume domestic obligations. Parents or guardians began to look around for suitable husbands as girls approached 17 or 18. A girl who was still single at 17 was given up as beyond saving, and by the time she was 30 she was regarded as being in what seems now the last stages of venerable spinsterhood, says the Detroit, News.
The popular name for such women was "chornbacks." As was the case with most New England customs, very practical reasons underlay this intense concern about marriage. A man needed a wife more than other possession, for the scarcity of inns and the total absence in small settlements of any accommodations for single persons made a home imperative. On the other hand, a woman needed the protection of a husband.

BRITAIN TO START SELF-GOVERNMENT INQUIRY IN INDIA
Commission Appointed to Report Whether Further Measure of Self-Goverment Is Advisable No Indians on Commission
LONDON, Nov. 8.—The British Government, it was announced in Parliament tonight, has decided to appoint a commission, two years earlier than was originally intended, to report whether India is ready for a further measure of self-government. The rate of the appointment has been advanced because of uncertainty regarding the question of how the rights of the Mohammadian minority in India, are to be safeguarded under home rule, which has produced a situation where Hindus and Mohammadans are ready to jump at each other's throats.
The commission will be composed of Sir John Simon, prominent Liberal lawyer, as chairman; Lord Gurnham, owner of the Daily Telegraph; Stephen Walsh, Minister of War in the MacDonald Labor Government; Colonel G. R. Lane Fox, Minister of Mines in the present Government; Lord Strathcona, Major on the Hon. E. Cadogan, and Major C. R. Attie, all Congressives. It includes no Indians, an omission which is bound to cause feeling in India and is editorially criticized in many newspapers here. The omission is explained on the ground that "the desire, natural and legitimate, of Indian members to see India a self-governing nation could hardly fail to color their judgment of her present capacity to sustain that role." Instead, it is proposed that the joint committee of both houses of the British Parliament shall hear Indian views voiced by delegations from the Indian Central Legislature and other Indian bodies.
India has since 1010 enjoyed a limited form of autonomy known as a darchy, under which the administration of education, public health, public works, industrial and agricultural development and local self-government is delegated to Indians, while "reserved subjects," including maintenance of law and order, defense and finance are controlled by Britain. It is an admittedly transitory and imperfect stage of political development and it will task the new commission to decide whether the time has come for further evolution.
Would Punish Parents When Child Is Bad
'CHICAGO (A.P.)—Punishment for the parents rather than the child, when the latter are unruly was the advice of Percy Dunlap Smith; psychiatrist, who spoke last night before the Illinois Society for Mental Hygiene. "A recent international survey has shown that in nearly every case of an unruly child maladjustments in the home or parental mistakes were to blame," he said. "Both fathers and mothers should have psychiatric tests before and after each child is born." Dr. Harold S. Hulbert, psychiatrist, declared: Young people today are no worse than they were fifty years ago, and no better. Human nature does not change, only the means of expressing goodness and badness vary."

Dermatologist Says Women Endanger Life by Tinting
The practice of tattooing the cheeks and lips to produce a permanent high color is becoming more common and hospitals are reporting that all sorts of complications are resulting from poisoning from the dyes used and infection from the instruments used by the tattooers, according to Dr. Charles F. Pabst, chief dermatologist of Greenpoint Hospital, who issued a warning toon.
Such diseases as dermatitis, oczema, gangrene of the skin, erysipelas and tuberculosis of the skin are caused by such tattooing, he said. Frequently in autopsies on persons who had been tattooed the discoloring matter injected under the skin by the tattooing needles has penetrated to and affected many of the important glands, he added.
Dr. Pabst in his statement did not reveal the location of, tattooing parlor in this city, where tinting of the cheeks and lips was done, but he declared that many of them are now operating and that women in the ordinary ranks of life were patronizing them more and more. Previously only stage and society folk patronized these tattooers, he said.
Lincoln's Birthday Set As Anti-Lynching Day
WASHINGTON.—The Federal Council of Churches has designated February 12, 1928, Lincoln's Birthday, as the day upon which twenty-eight Protestant denominations will call upon the nation to bachm the lynching civil forever. Dr. George E. Haynes, former professor of sociology at Fisk University and now chairman of the Committee on Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churches, New York, N. Y., has been authorized by the administrative committee to call upon the churches of the council to observe anti-lynching day.
In issuing the call, Dr. Haynes referred to statistics, indicating that there was a considerable decline in lynching in the United States until 1926. During the years 1924 and 1925, he said, 16 lynchings had been committed, while 80 were committed in 1926, and 13 recorded for the first eight months of the present year.
MORE SOUTH AFRICAN RUINS
Structures. Covering 235 by 90 Yards
Found Near Zimbabwe
BULAWAYO, South Africa, Nov. 11.—Additional ruins have been disclosed twenty-five miles from Zimbabwe. The ruins have an average height of 3 to 8 feet, and are 5½ feet wide at the base and 4 feet at the top. The area covered by them is 235 by 90 yards. The interior is divided into interconnecting small enclosures, differing from those at Zimbabwe in that they are angular instead of circular. The ruins of Zimbabwe in the Victoria district of Southern Rhodesia were first discovered in 1888. Their age is a matter of dispute, some authorities asserting that they are of great antiquity and others that they belong to the fourteenth or fifteenth century.
$90,000,000,000 Income
Of Americana in 1926
WASHINGTON. — The highest standard of living ever attained in the history of the world was reached last year by the American people. The Bureau of Internal Revenue said today in a report showing that the 117,000,000 persons in the United States had a total income in 1926 of nearly $90,000,000,000, an increase of approximately $27,000,000,000, more than 48 per cent. in the five years since 1921. The bureau's figures revealed an increase in the nation's income for each year since 1921 when a total of $82,000,000,000 was recorded. It increased $3,000,000,000 in 1922, $7,000,000,000 in 1925 and $8,000,000,000 in 1926, when a total of $9,682,000,000 was earned.

THANKSGIVING GREETING FOR MR. GARVEY.
In one of his poems Lord Tennyson says: "A sorrow's crown of sorrows is remembering happier days." The true poet is he who dreams the dreams we dream and sees the visions we see and expresses them in the way we would if we could. But all of us do not possess the gift of words. We cannot express our thoughts so that others may share them with us. To all intents and purposes we are mutes, except in the language of daily conversation and exchange, in which commonplaces only clamor for expression and get it. Only the select few are masters of the language we all speak but do not all understand and are able to use in its higher reaches. The most part must be satisfied with the small gifts, and we do well who make the most of such gifts as are vouchsafed to us.
As Thanksgiving Day approaches, and is upon us, we are all mindful of President-General Marcus Garvey and his absence from us, and regret that he cannot share with us the pleasures of gathering about the family board with those we love most and giving such thanks as we have for the blessings we have enjoyed during the past year. It is a great day, and comes but once a year, and has a meaning and an appeal to us all its own. But we can all look back with pleasure over the dead years when Mr. Garvey was free and with us and shared with us, in our homes and in our public gatherings, all that the day signifies. It is a privilege to be able to remember those happier days and the part Mr. Garvey took in them. Yes; "a sorrow's crown of sorrows is remembering happier days."
The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, through the staff of The Negro World, send Thanksgiving greetings to Hon. Marcus Garvey, coupled with the hope that he may be present with us when another Thanksgiving Day shall come to us.
THE RIGHT. TO VOTE AND TO BE VOTED FOR
THE Universal Negro Improvement Association stands for good citizenship in the time and place where we are, and for the right of the citizen to vote and be voted for. We may be only sojourners in the countries where we find ourselves, as the Jews consider themselves, and we may have dreams of a land and government of our own, as the members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association have, but that in no wise affects the principle that we should make the most of the citizenship of the times and places where we are. This is all the more necessary because we cannot well have the full protection of the laws and exemption from mob violence, nor enjoy the full benefits of citizenship, unless we qualify, by naturalization, proper registration and payment of the poll tax. We may not see any immediate benefits from making this necessary preparation, but the benefits are there, even when we are denied by violence or unjust laws the privilege of voting and being voted for; by the necessary preparation we assert our right to the full benefits of citizenship and keep alive the right by reason of the preparation to exercise it.
The right to vote and be voted for is one of the first and highest privileges of citizenship. Negroes should study by observation the unanimity with which the Jews and naturalized citizens take advantage of the right to vote and be voted for and what a fine success they make of it in the elective and appointive office-holding of the Greater New York city and its suburbs. They are to be found everywhere in the life of the great city, making the most of the citizenship which they are privileged to enjoy, in the same way that the Negro people are free to enjoy it.
Mr. Lester A. Walton has furnished to the Sunday edition of the New York World, of whose staff he is a member, a thoughtful article on "Negroes Showing Scant Interest in Voting." This refers to the election of last week, in which two Negroes were elected to be members of the New York city Board of Addermen. Mr. Walton calis attention to the fact that there are some 250,000 Negroes in Harlem, and that of this number hardly more than 20,000 of the 120,000 eligible to do so took the trouble to register. Most of these
voters are new. They have not been in New York city a very long time. Most of them came here from the Southern States in order to be able to vote and to afford their children an opportunity to be educated in the public schools, with freedom to worship God in their churches without fear of persecution. And now they are
their churches without fear of molestation. And some of them came here from the West Indies and Africa, where their citizenship rights and educational privileges are not so good. Here they are all free to vote and to be voted for, but for unexplained reasons the vast majority of them fail to properly qualify themselves to do so. When they were denied the privilege they considered it a hardship, and it was; when they get into a situation where they were free to enjoy it they treat it with neglect. The women are just as indifferent in the matter of registering and voting as the men. It is difficult to understand this attitude of Negro men and women in a matter so vital. Mr. Walton states the following as the result of his survey:
"It is generally understood that the Southern Negro comes North to improve his economic, political and social status. Next to lynching, his major complaint of unfair treatment in the South is against its disfranchisement laws which rob him of his right to vote." Nevertheless, not two out of five settling in New York embrace the opportunity to vote. The majority literally disfranchise themselves.
"One of the most progressive elements of the community in many ways—the West Indian Negro—evinces such a widespread indifference to voting as to arouse the ire of native Americans. Political observers declare that of the 60,000 West Indian resi
dents not more than 1 per cent. takes an active interest in politics. "Thousands of West Indians are living in New York who have refrained from taking out their citizenship papers. They still prefer to hold allegiance to Great Britain. While several reasons are given for this, the chief one is said to be that because of existing racial animosities and prejudices in this country the West Indian Negro who makes his home here enjoys a stronger feeling of security as a British subject. They make no secret of this.. Sometimes after a lynching the West Indian points out that the hanging or burning of one of his countrymen would immediately provoke an investigation by Great Britain."
The disposition of the Negro to select white leadership rather than his own is illustrated by Mr. Walton in the case of the Twenty-first Assembly District, in New York city, in which there are 115 Republ can county committee—68 Negroes and 47 alleged white persons. At the election for Republican district leader, September 28 last, Robert S. Conklin, white, was easily elected over Charles W. B. Mitchell, Negro That stands for a very raw fact. We can never get anywhere in politics, nor in anything else, as long as we prefer white leadership to our own. The members of the Universal Negro Improvement Association are taught to prefer and to select their own leadership from among themselves rather than from any other race group. The entire race needs to be umbued thoroughly with this life-saving principle.
ABYSSINIA AND THE QUESTION OF SLAVERY
SLAVERY exists: more places than one in Africa. It is acknowledged to exist in Abyssinia and the British Protectorate of Sierra Leone. The Abyssinians do not consider themselves Africanders, and resent being so termed. They claim to be Ethiopians, Semitic in origin, descendants of King Solomon and the Queen of Shieba. Anyhow, the League of Nations would not accept the application of Abyssinia to be a member last year unless it should covenant to abolish the system of slavery which prevailed in the country. Recent discussion of another phase of Abyssinian activities has disclosed the fact that it has not abolished slavery, but claims that the abolition is in progress.
The recent declaration of a convention between Great Britain and Italy to join in taking over a right of way through a part of Abyssinia, without consulting the latter, it is said, led to the giving by Abyssinia of a contract to construct a dam across the Blue Nile to an American concern, which would affect the water supply of Egypt and the cotton interests in the Sudan of Great Britain. It is said the Abyssinian government assured the American interests that they would be free to use the slave labor of the country in building the dam, at a cost of $20,000,000.
The announcement that such a contract had been entered into created a big stir in Egypt and in the British press, as it would necessarily drag the United States into the mixup, and in some sort thwart the purposes of both Great Britain and Italy in Abyssinia. Then came the announcement that no such contract with an American company had been made, and another announcement that Abyssinia would submit the whole question for adjudication to the League of Nations, with special reference to, the convention alleged to have been entered into between Great Britain and Italy concerning Abyssinian territorial interests. Where there is so much diplomatic smoke there must be some diplomatic fire, and the Abyssinians are playing the diplomatic game for all it is worth to protect their interests. The Egyptians are equally as wide-awake to protect their interests.
North, East and West Africa, with Central Africa as the focal point, promise to become the battleground of Africans and Europeans for domination of the country during the ensuing years. The siggs all point that way. The native Africans are awakening up to the fact that the European Africans are determined to possess themselves of the country and that organized resistance only will save them from the fate of the North American and Australian aborigines.

EDITORIAL OPINION
MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON of Chicago has been creating a great upheaval by alleging that the school histories in use in the Chicago schools contain a lot of British propaganda matter, and he has got the school authorities all worked up over it. He wants to Americanize the whole school book system, as far as the histories are concerned. There appears to be a lot of humbug in the whole business which Mayor Thompson hopes to turn to his political advantage. He has succeeded, however, among other things, in waking up the Indians who are demanding that history be so revised as to do them justice. To do that would require the rewriting of most that passes for American history. American historians have done worse by the Negro than by the Indian, but the Negro has not done much demanding of revision; rather, he has begun to write his own history. That is the better and the only way he will get justice done him. Let the Indian go and write his own history also. The white man will not do it for him any more than he will do it for the Negro.

Above a fur-trimmed,
Scarlet coat?
And what of asphalt
Glimmering wet,
And stained with
Gold and violet?
"Thinking Machine" to Do Higher Mathematics
BOSTON. Nov. 12.-Dr. Vapnear Bush, Professor of electric Power Transmission at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, with the aid of a staff of research workers, including H. L. Hazen, H. R. Stewart, F. G. Kear and F. D. Gage, has perfected a "thinking machine." It is an electrical apparatus which solves quickly mathematical problems too complex for the human brain.
The machine, called the "product integraph," according to Professor Bush, opens fields of research hitherto inaccessible. Work on it began several years ago, with the object of meeting the need for a machine which would automatically solve problems of advanced electrical theory rapidly and accurately. A technical description of the instrument is to be published by the Franklin Institute.
"The product integragh." Dr. Bush said, "might be called an adding machine carried to an extreme in the design. Where workers in the business world are ordinarily satisfied with addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of numbers, the engineer deals with curves and graphs, which represent for him "the past, present and future of the things in which he deals."
The apparatus requires from eight minutes to a few hours to make computations which would take from a month to a year to work out by ordinary methods.
The foundation of the integragh is a watt hour meter. The mathematician takes the equations which he is interested in and plots them on sheets of paper. These sheets are passed under pointers and operators along the machine keep the pointers on the curves. As the pointers move the power flowing through the meter varies in proportion.
The impt controls a motor which drives a pencil on another sheet of paper, tracing a curve, which is called the integral and which is the result sought. A second device, somewhat different from the first, but performing the same operation, intergrates the result a second time. Dr. Bush said the apartus will solve practically any "second order differential equation," a type with which engineers have often to deal. Dr. Bush, who is 37 years old and was graduated from Tufts College in 1913, was a specialist on submarine detection devices for the navy during the World War.
Negre Votes Will Go To Party Which Gives
(From the Tampa Bulletin)
The two big parties seem to be sure of no one when it comes to standard bearers for the 1928 national election. President Coolidge seems to have enough of the White House. His declaration, "I do not choose," does not clarify, it adds to the uncertainty, and the G. O. P. is still at sea. Then, they are watching, the Democrats. Should Smith of New York be named by the Democrats, any man other than Coolidge would have a hard time, and Coolidge may have it if Smith is named. The South does not want Smith—we are pretty sure of that. That is about all we are sure of. If the Republicans name any other than Coolidge, the Democrats will name Smith and win in spite of the South's opposition to him. Coolidge is a very popular man, and shrewd in politics, all but his handling of the segregation that is going on in the capital. That could not be worse with Smith in the White House. There are hot times ahead. And Coolidge will not be so sure of the Negro vote unless he looks after Marous Garvey and segregation, too. Is he going to do it? Will see what we shall see. See?
New Child Study Center
WASHINGTON, Nov. 10.—Negroes the country over will doubtless be interested to know that the announcement has been made of a four-year grant from the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Memorial Fund to establish a cooperative child study center in this city. The American Home Economics Association has been designated as the o organization through which the funds are to be disbursed.
This city is, of course, one of the major educational centers in the United States. Too, it is a pivotal point in government, charity and other important matters in which the interests of Negroes are frequently considered and decided. The Negro child is much in need of intensive study as to defects, needs and remedies; and any movement headed up at the Capitol City will, if it is thought, include some provision for Negro children—C. P. B.
Ancient Egyptian aurogs got along very well without anesthetics. Having hit a patient on the head in just the proper place, they would proceed to operate while the was unconscious from the blow.
That it is the destiny of the lower races to disappear before the higher is a doctrine unquestionably accepted by infany, and it is one that was acted on pretty effectually long before anyone had thought of formulating it. In the fate of the Tasmanian blacks we have almost at our doors a case where what is deemed an inevitable process was accelerated in a brutal fashion; and it looked at one time that the tragedy of the Red Indians of America might be repeated at the expense of the natives of New Zealand
In an interesting work, reviewed in our columns last Saturday, Mr. George Pitt-Rivers collates the evidences which show that to the Melanesian and Polynesian races contact with the whites must sooner or later prove fatal. Yet the permanent domination of the latter is far from being an accepted tenet with all sociologists and ethologists. It is years since the late Professor Pearan wrote a book to show that the Chinese were going to swamp, civilization and exterminate the higher culture. China is a problem whose solution is still uncertain, for no one can say to what result the break-up of the frost of centuries which we are now witnessing will lead. It is worth recalling, however, that so shrewd an observer and thinker as the late Sir H. R. H. Johnson was quite of Dr. Pearson's mind, that if the Chinese race could be induced to exchange their slavish worship of a half-mythical past for a vivid realization of the present, they might astonish the world even more than the Japanese have done.
The Chinese are too numerous a race to be adversely affected by physical contact, with the whites. When the ethnologists challenge the view as to such contact being fatal to non-European races, it is to the Negroes they go for their great example. But they might also go for proof on a smaller scale to the Maoris, who, having recovered from the first shock of their collision with civilization, are now thriving under it and adding to their numbers. The saying "that the lower races must succumb to the higher needs, therefore, to be quantified by the addition of the words 'unless they yield or conform to their influence." But this does not carry us far unless we consider with Mr. Pitt-Rivers in what the power of adaptability consists. It would be an interesting study if it involved no more than the question of the fate of the colored races. But its interest is far-reaching, for we are taken into that region of personality which Jung, Freud, and others have explored with results which have thrilled the psychological world.
There are two temporamental types to which all mankind more or less approximate, named by Jung the "introvert" and the "extravert." The characteristics of each would need much space even to summarize, but briefly it may be stated that the introvert tendency is shown where the person possessing it is more or less indifferent to his environment, finds in himself all the resources he needs to carry him through life, and prefers, as the colloquialism has it, to go his own way. The extrovert, on the other hand, is more or less dependent on his environment, into which he can throw himself with cheerful ease. He can "chum up" with anyone. He goes "with the swim," and if his power of self-reliance is weak, there is some compensation in the many friends his adaptable nature makes for him. With the introvert the mental tendency is conipetral, with the extravert centrifugal. In clinical cases the reaction to environment in the case of the introvert shows itself in dementia; in that of the extrovert in hypsoria. The types express themselves in a hundred ways. One broods; the other expands. That extraversion is more natural to the race is evident from its prevalence among the young. As Dr. Maurice Nicholl puts it, "as capacity to extrovert spontaneously is found in the great majority of the young during the imitative and play periods." Where the introvert tendency exists among children it is apt to be exaggerated with age and experience of the crosses and difficulties of life. Even the juvenile extrovert feels these sufficiently to impose a curb on the exuberance of his emotions as he gains in years and in what the world calls wisdom.
Jung has not yet applied his theories to ethnic groups, but McDougall and other psychologists are busying themselves in this direction, and showing how some can, and others cannot, adapt themselves to an altered environment. The Red Indians had the introvert disposition strongly. Pitting themselves against the white settlers, with whom it was a paramount duty to "hate Injuns like pison," they had to go. The Negro, on the other hand, is a profound extrovert. Thoro are no institutions, conventions, or social arrangements to which he cannot easily conform. To every suggestion he abandons himself whole-heartedly, and his domicile to his spiritual advisers is so complete as almost to provoke a amilo. His adaptability to a new environment has its reward, for his race is multiplying at a rate so startling as to alarm; the ruling classes in America. From those and other instances we see that the psychological factor counts much more than the physical, and it is probably as true in our own part of the world as elsewhere that the virtues of the whites have played a much less active part in the extermination or decadence of native races than their inability to adapt themselves to changes in their organization. If only they had a touch of the extroversion of the Negro they might survive long enough to adapt themselves to the ways of the whites as the Macri have done. What Mr. Pitt-Rivers shows is that the breaches made by the whites in the "organization of the unadaptable colored races go very deep, affecting the Spencer and Gilson have shown, the
sexual impulse itself. Hayvock Ellis has stressed the weakness of this factor among savages relatively to Europeans, and has explained the orgies to which they are addicted by the necessity of administering a powerful stimulus to an impulse ordinarily glugish. It is not a case of a race piling to death. In some mysterious, way fecundity is affected by the emotional disturbances brought about by the rupture of the racial organization induced by an outpowering civilization that cannot, be assimilated. Without professor to explain the phenomenon Mr. Pitt-Rivers holds the truth to be demonstrable that the women of these races, under, the depression occasioned by an alien environment, lose the inclination to bear children, though their sexual relations may be unaltered. Just as a doctor will sometimes say that he has lost a patient for no other acceptable reason than the patient's resistance to live, so we are invited to believe that there are many cases where, among women, will, or the want of it, may affect the capacity for reproduction.
HEALTH TOPICS
By DR. M. ALICE ASSERSON Of the New York Tuberculosis and Health Association
Garbage Disposal and Health
The New York State "Health News" has an account of a strange story in a recent number. The proprietor of a boarding house let a pile of garbage and refuse collect during the summer. Finally the health officer told him he must have it removed within five days. A few days later urgent calls from people living near the boarding house came in to the health officer's home. The boarding house, proprietor had placed, some dynamite in the center of the refuse and blown it all over the neighboring yards in order to have it "romoved" from his premises.
---
The proper disposal of garbage is an essential health measure. In cities like New York we have regular collection of garbage and rubbish, so our problem is not so serious as the boarding House keeper's. But all families should be careful how they keep their garbage until it is collected. First, keep your garbage pail clean. It should be washed thoroughly at frequent intervals. It is a good idea to wash it with a disinfectant at times. Let it stand in the sunlight and fresh air, after it has been cleaned, when possible. Some people line the container with paper, or place a paper bag in the can to receive the "refuse." Always keep the cover on the can. Do not let any of it overflow and lie around outside the can, where it may attract flies and become a menace to health.
Scientist Predicts New Type Of People in Australia
SYDNEY.—The gradual evolution of a new type of people in the tropical northern parts of Australia is expected by Dr. Herbert Bassow, one of this country's most noted anthropologists. Observing recently that the term "White Australia" and became a cherished doctrine, if not actual gospel, Dr. Bassow said that he assumed the northern tropics would ultimately be settled with people of Anglo-Saxon or Nordic strain. If that were done, within a generation or two their descendants would completely change their skin.
A point that would have an important bearing on the appearance of the future Northern Australians, said Dr. Basedow, was the fact that the humidity of the tropic so diluted the atmosphere thirst, in order to introduce sufficient oxygen into the lungs to enable them to perform their physiological functions, larger volumes of air would have to be inhaled. That would mean that ultimately the Northern Australian would be a man with a larger lung capacity than his Southern relatives living in a more temperate climate. Moreover, it would be necessary for the air to reach its destination by the quickest route, so that the elvated nose would be eventually replaced by a comparatively flat, saddle-shaped nose with wide nostrils.
"Hence," said Dr. Baskedow, "we can visualize the ultimate white Australian of the tropics as an individual with dark brown skin, dark eyes, black hair, and features usually described as primitive."
The Morals of Our Time!
It is remarkable to contemplate the deception of man, as practised upon his brothers. The human race has degenerated into select groups of liars and thieves, who practise their profession and carry out their depredations through the media of high-sounding philosophies. Chief among the deceivers who parade as sanctified moralists and reformers are some of the leading statesmen of the white race. The white man has given us morals from his head and lies from his heart. "Philosophy and Opinions of Marcus Gatway."
HAYTI SEES BAN ON FREE SPEECH IN NEW BILLS
Amendments to Constitution to
• Be Voted Next January Protested as Restrioting Trial by
• Jury and Freedom of the Press
Sharp opposition has developed in Hayt, according to advice received here, to the proposed amendments to the Hayt constitution to be voted on in January. Including clauses which, it is asserted by the critics of the amendments, would seriously restrict freedom of speech and trial by jury and put the judiciary under the control of the President.
"The Committee of Hayti, which has offices at 9 West Sixth-fourth street, has given out a letter sent to General John H. Russell. High Commissioner in Hayti, by 1e Hayti des Droits de l'Homme, of Hayti, protesting against proposed changes in the electoral law which, the latter asserts, would "suppress liberty and make a genuine vote impossible." But the crux of the matter, according to Americans recently returned from Port-au-Prince, is the constitutional amendments.
Artículo 16 of the present constitution granting freedom of speech is modified to read "freedom of the press is guaranteed, subject to conditions determined by law." As there has been no legislation in Hayti since the American occupation, the government consisting of the Haytan President and Council of State acting in conjunction with the American High Commissioner and the other treaty officials, this clause, it is asserted, would leave regulation of the press to such measures as the President and High Commissioner saw fit to pass.
Article 1B, which reads, "right of trial by jury is established in criminal cases and in cases involving political offenses and those committed by the press," is changed to read, "trial by jury is established in criminal prosecution in those cases specified by law." The critics of the amendment assert these two clauses taken together would make it possible for jury trial to be denied to those accused of having offended in the press.
The amendment referring to the judicial restricts the terms of Supreme Court judges from life, to ten years and while stating that "none judges are appointed they are not subject to revocation by the executive," adds, "however, the judges continue to be subject to special legislation which will determine the causes for removing them from office."
This clause, the critics say, practically puts the judiciary under the control of the President. Moreover, the amendments contain the provision that "for a period of twelve months following the adoption of these amendments the Executive is authorized to make changes in the present personnel of the courts which he deems necessary."
Another curious feature of the situation pointed out by the critics of the amendment is that, while the reason given for the failure to permit the Haitian people to hold an election for a legislature is their political 'incapacity for such an election, the present constitution, which Mr. Franklin has said, will be the same as himself, was passed by a popular vote hold under the supervision of American marines, while the amendments themselves, before they become a law, must similarly be submitted to a popular vote.
The full text of the letter sent to General Russell by the, Ligue des Droits de l'Homme is as follows:
"By an agreement of August 21, 1918, between M. Lauro Porni, Secretary of Foreign Affairs (for Hayti) and the United States Minister to Hayti. It was arranged that drafts of laws relating to the treaty should be presented to the American Legislation as a matter of information and, if necessary, for discussion. "Extending the scope of this agree-

ment, the Legation of the United States has constantly, as shown by official documents, claimed that all drafts of law of the government of Hayt, whatever their character, should be submitted for its approval. It finally succeeded in imposing this point of view that no law is voted and promulgated in the republic without its express approval. It therefore accepts responsibility for all legal measures in Hayt.
"It is this fact which gives us the right to address ourselves to you, under the present grave circumstances and to disturb you in the midst of the numerous claims upon your time with a request in the name of justice.
"After the amendments to the constitution of Hayt, deposited with the Council of State which are contrary to the second paragraph of Articles 125 of the constitution, and have been protested against by all the country, a bill altering the electoral law of August 4, 1919, was submitted on September 14 last to the Council of State, since which time it has been voted.
"Up to now this law has not been promulgated. The draft was published in the paper L'Essor' of Thursday, September 16.
"This new electoral law contains provisions which are contrary to democratic principles.
"It suppresses liberty and makes a genuine vote impossible. It makes government officials the sole inspectors of elections. It threatens the voters.
"This law, therefore, is illiberal and unjust and prevents the free action of the electors. It tends to provoke conflicts in the country which needs quietude and peace.
"We respectfully call your attention to the need that is intolerable in our era of liberty and unilateralism.
"Does it not also tend to discredit the United States, the country of the great principles of democracy of Thomas Jefferson and others?

Dog a Salaried Aid Of League of Nations
GENEVA, Switzerland—The League of Nations has a dog on its payroll, Louou; a fine German shepherd, has thus been honored because of his ability to guard the big home of the league.
Louou has been on the payroll for some time, being allowed about $8 a month for subsistence. But the dog really proved his worth during the recent Sacco-Venzetti riots, when the mob throw stones through the library windows and broke nearly all the windows in the large glass room known as the goldfish bowl.
When the mob leaders were breaking down the rear entrance of the main building with the intention of reducing it in fire, Louou appeared on the scene with the two watchmen. The mob did not mind the watchmen, and was pushing in, when Louou got into action. The place was promptly cleared, and the mob held back long enough for the police to arrive.
Napoleon Once Planned Colony in Texas
By the Treaty of Paris in 1768 France ceded to Spain all the territory between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains and north of Texan. By the secret treaty of San Idelfonso in 1800, Spain, under pressure from Napoleon, gave it back to France.
At that time Napoleon had designs to found a colony in what is now Texas, but in 1803 saw he was likely to have war with England, and that it would be impossible to protect such distant possessions, says the Detroit News. Therefore the French leader gladly consented to sell the Louisiana Territory, as it was then called, to the United States for $15,000,000.
Through President Jefferson this monumental transaction was successfully consummated, and with one bound the American republic was extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains.
Only Chinese in Union Army Still Survives
HOT SPRINGS, S. D. . Nov 12 — The only China recorded as serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, Edward Day Cohota, is spending his last days at the Battle Mountain Sanitarium here.
Cohota is 84 years old. He was brought to America by a selling master and rommed the Massachusetts waterfronts as a boy. He enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment, en-rolled after the war and spent thirty years in the service.
He was retired from Company G, Slight Infantry, in 1894, as the only Chinese ever mustered out of the United States Army.
Bank Window Left Open To Provide Ventilation
Two citizens, passing the savings bank at Nantucket, Mass. one night noticed that a window on the street floor of the bank was open, says the Boston Globe.
The next morning when one of the citizens stopped into the bank he asked: "Did you know you lost a window open last night?" Came the answer, "O, yes, we leave it open for ventilation."
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York handles on the average of thirty-five tons of coins a day. By the machine used to count and weigh those it is found that a thousand dollars worth of dimes weigh ninety-three pounds; that fifty bags of nickels total ten thousand dollars, and that a ton of pennies dill sixty hags and are worth three thousand dollars.
Enroll 141,000 Chinese In Mission Churches
Chinese to the number of 122,616 are enrolled as members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China, and 14,339 others have been baptized and are being trained for church membership, according to announcement made today by Dr. William B. Tower, recording secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. These figures are based upon reports which he has received from the secretaries of the ten conferences in China. The board of foreign missions has 188 missionaries assigned to service in China, and the woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the denomination has 322. A large number of those missionaries, however, have temporarily left China owing to the civil warfare, some of them, Dr. Tower reports, are temporarily in mission service in Japan, Korea, and the Philippines, or on furthug in the United States. Almost all of them are planning to return to their stations when the present warfare is over.
There are 1,161 ordained and 480 unordained Chinese pastors who are serving, in churches throughout the Republic, in addition to these, 1,190 Chinese men and 1,364 Chinese women are carrying on as teachers, Bible instructors, nurses, doctors, and in other capacities of mission service.
Motor Car Making Its Way in Africa
The more remote countries of the world have been slow to follow the lead of more civilized nations in the adoption of modern methods either in their social or their political lives. It has been difficult to persuade the Egyptian that a modern water pump was more efficient than a treadmill operated by slaves, on the inhabitant of Palestine that a blow, or even a steel hoe, was a certain means to greater crops. Yet these people are awakening gradually, and are surprising to find motor cars and trucks replacing the "tabl of the desert", and the donkey in Southwestern Asia and Northern Africa, where civilization perhaps is oldest, but least susceptible to change.
Between Nazareth and Bagdad it is now a common occurrence for a line of motor cars to crowd a caravan of camels off the road. Shope have been opened within the last five years where Joseph taught Jesus the carpenter's trade that would credit to an ancient city of the same size. And science is driving the gern-laden mosquito from the malaria-plagued districts of the Near East, just as it has done in the Southern States and in the Canal Zone.
Artists Seek Colors In Chinese Sailboat
DEAD MAN'S POINT, N. C.—An American woman artist is "admiral" of a Chinese junk which has come to anchor in the Atlantic near here. The ship is the Amoy, named after the "City of the Open Moon," where it was built. The "admiral" is Mrs. Alfred Nilson of Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. Her husband, Capt. Alfred Nilson, its pilot, is well known as a writer. Captain and Mrs. Nilson write and paint while they sail from port, to port. Their objectives are the quiet water villages on the seaboard and romantic local areas with two moats and a pizzeria, with great, crimson, square-rigged salts. A crew of two completes the parry.
The Amoy has a romantic history Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford are said to have spent part of their honeymoon aboard. Capt George Ward, its original owner, was also a writer, who chose this boat for his world wanderings. He sailed across the Pacific Ocean in eight-seven days, although his craft was only 68 feet long, with a waterline of only 22 feet and a beam of 19 feet. It draws 3 feet 7 inches of water.
Florence Mills Left Only $33,146 Estate
Florence Millsap of Negro musical comedy, dangled and sang her way from the sidewalks of Lonox Avenue to great fame, but to no great fortune. The little singer left an estate of only $33.146, about as much as, once she earned in a year. Because she left no will, Surrogate Foley yesterday granted letters of administration to her husband, U. S. Thompson, of 'No. 220 West 133rd Street. This petition Thompson said the entire estate was in personal property and that he and Mills. Mills' mother, Mrs. Nellie Winrey, also of the 133rd Street address, are the only helpers. The expenses of the funeral for Miss Mills are estimated at about $8,000, which will be paid out of the estate.
200. Jews Arrive
More than 200 Jews were on board the steamers Comminisque Ramel, which arrived at Malibururn last week. The ship made a special call at Jaffa to pick them up. The passengers understand that the Jewish colonies in Palestine, promoted by Zionist organizations, have broken down, and that the Jews are tursing to Australia as a land of milk and honey.
Identification Cards
Required in Bolivia
A supreme decree, just issued, creates a position of identification in the police departments of Bolivia. All citizens and inhabitants of Bolivia and foreigners with a permanent residence, except the pure Indian races, are now required to obtain identification cards (aklastis, de identification) from the police at a cost of five bolivianos (approximately $2).
Japanese Exceed Hawaiians In Latter's Own Schools
HONOLULU, Nov. 0 — Although American citizens of Japanese ancestry, with an enrolment of 32,316 or more than 60 percent of the total, continue to load among the various racial groups attending the public schools of Hawaii, it is the opinion of the school department that the peak of enrolment for these pupils has been reached and that the outstanding future increase will occur among Filipino children due to the recent large influx of natives from the Philippines.
Statistics made public by Will O Crawford, superintendent of public instruction, show that 62,208 pupils were enrolled in public schools as of June 30, an increase of 3,348 over 1928. Public and private schools had a total enrolment of 72,524, with 260 schools and 663 teachers. There were 187 public and sixty-three private schools, with 2,145 teachers in public and 348 in private schools. Of the total number of pupils, 37,498 were boys and 35,026 were girls.
It is estimated that when the public schools open for the new term there will be an increase in enrolment of about 4,000, which represents a maintenance of the average year-to-year growth.
Of the total public school enrolment on June 30 last, 60,675 pupils were born in the United States, and 1,535 were foreign born. The bulk of the foreign born were natives of the Philippines.
American citizens in the schools had increased to a total of 57,281 on June 30. The number of foreign born pupils decreased until there were but 1,579. Three of the racial groups show decreases. These are Hawaiian, Spanish and Porto-Rican.
Following is the June 30 enrolment by racial descent, the figures in parentheses showing the number a year ago:
The largest public school group is that composed of pupils of the age of eight years, with a total of 7,410.
Noted Authors Tired Of Their Own Works
Some authors have had a sudden revolution of feeling, usually brought on by overwork, and have condemned everything they ever wrote. Lord Byron flow into a rage one day and ordered his publishers, to destroy all of his poems they had in hand, says the Detroit "News." Those in bookstores he tried to forstall from literary channels by the process of buying every volume he could find, but found the expense prohibitive.
John Ruskin, the English author, art critic and social reformer, had a similar morbidity overcome him while sitting for his portrait. Turning suddenly to Dante Gabriel Rossetti, for whom he was posing, he said he had lost all faith in revealed religion, that he regarded all he had already written as bush, that he should write nothing for some years (one biographer says ten), and that he should then vigorously push to pieces all his previous writings.
It is a fact that nearly all of Rukin's best books were written prior to the time of this alleged change of opinion, 1862, but he published at least two well-known works as soon thoreater as 1865, when "Sesame and Lilies" appeared, and in 1885-9, when "Froterlin" saw the light. A preface to a book in 1871 gave the first public intimation of his revised ideals.
Apple Tree Bears Fruit
And Blooms at Same Time
An apple tree in the orchard of Henry French, of West Springfield, Mass, has produced a specimen in which fruit and blossom are growing simultaneously. The apple, nearly two and a half inches in diameter, matured at the end of last year's growth; the cluster of six delicate pink and white blossoms is several inches beyond at the tip of this year's growth. A pomologist says that the froak was probably caused by disease or injury to the branch, retarding the normal progress of the blossom, and that the late warm weather brought the belated bud to fruition, says the Boston Globe.
Eiffel Tower Lights Out As Economy Move
PARIS - Illumination on the Eiffel Tower is over for the winter. All last year and for six months this year two slabs of the great tower have been illuminated by a great silver fountain, which changes alternately into a block design in amber and gold and then into an advertisement for a French automobile manufacturer. It costs the manufacturer, M. Cittrosh, a lot of money. There are more than a million globes in the sign. Since comparatively few visitors come to Paris in winter, it has been decided this year to economize and turn the dazzling fountain of until next spring.
Puliman Cars Take Place Of College That Burned
When the main building of a historic old college at Carlinville, Ill., was destroyed by fire last month it was feared that sessions could not begin on schedule. But an old firm has loaned the college two Pullman cars, with the result that lectures are being given in one of them, and the executive offices of the college are located in the other car.

Ocean Divers Now Work Without an Air Hose
Hose for conducting air from the surface to the diver under the water has heretofore been considered indispensable. An elaborate outfit of pumps operated either on arm or in boat was necessary to force fresh air continuously through a great length of hose to the man below the surface. Now the inventive brain of man had conceived and put into successful operation an ingenious device which will probably in time do away with the old apparatus for diving, says the Washington Star.
By this method the diver carring on his back two steel bottles containing highly compressed oxygen. Another cylinder contains chemicals for absorbing the carbonic acid exhaled from the lungs. A system of piping carrying all the impure air breathed out to a chamber containing the absorbing chemical. In this compartment the deadly carbonic acid gas is entirely eliminated. A small amount of oxygen, just enough to renew the air, is added to the changed and regenerated exhalations and passed on to a compartment in the helmet, where it can be inhaled through the nose or mouth. By this system the diluted air is continually being made over into new
It is thought this device will go away with the gadgets and sometimes loss of life which have occasionally happened through defects in the diving hose or pumping apparatus so long in use. But while the diver may carry his atmosphere, as one does his wardrobe, along with him he cannot yet quite disconnect himself from the outer world, as the signalling is still necessary for means of communication.
Dead Sea a Treasure Chest
Of Rich Chemicals
Enormous quantities, of valuable chemicals are held in solution in the waters of the Dead Sea, according to Dr. Thomas H Morton, who regards the historic spot as a potential source of great wealth, capable of supplying the world with important substances for years to come, says Popular Mechanics Magazine.
Magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, common salt, usually pure, and magnesium bromide, serving for the oxidation of platinum compounds among the chemicals found there in great abundance. For their separation, solar evaporation is the chief factor employed. Nearshore to ocean transportation is another favorable factor.
Ruins of Persian Palace Discovered in Africa
NAIROBI, Africa. Nov. 12.—The ruins of the luxurious palace of a ruinant, with harem and mosque adjacent, have been discovered in the remains of the City of Gedi, north of Mombasa. Godd lies in a dense forest and is a city of unknown age. Walls peer through avenues of trees and giant creepers hold together the crumbling fragments of rooftops dwellings whose inhabitants may have lived more than a century ago. The city, stretching along a creek from a point six miles, inland to the seashore, was once surrounded by a wall. The removal of part of the forest growth has revealed the ruins of the palace, which is believed to be of Persian origin.
Russian Expedition
Seeks*Lost World
LENINGRAD, Russia, Nov 5. A P "Theotist world," in the Yang-tse district near the eastern borders of Tibet, is to be explored by the Lentengrad Geographical Society. It is preparing to send out an expedition under the direction of M. Kooloff, a well-known scientist and explorer. Nothing is known to science of the vegetation and fauna of this vast territory, which covers hundreds of square miles. The scientists of western Europe are said to believe in the existence thereof of forests of the richest varieties, with trees of enormous dimensions, forms as large as anks and drilled trees which would provide food for hundreds of thousands of humans.
Ancient City of Palmyra A Forest of Pillars
The ancient city of Palmyra, located about 150 miles northeast of Dyminas, and about the same distance east of the Krytan coast of the Mediterranean, was in its heydey a marvulous metropolis.
In 264 the Roman Emperor Gallicus recognized the city's importance by giving the title of Governor of the East to Odalath, then ruler of the city. Odalath had married a beautiful Bedouin girl Bath-Zabbal. He slain about 267 and his widow became regent on behalf of Wuhbalath, the eldest of her three infant sons, who, however, died in 271, says the Detroit News.
To the Roman Bath-Zabbal was known as Zenobia and soo they were beginning to talk about her with unyasy admiration. Her city of Palmyra find grown into a glorious metropolis, and its super buildings were described with use by travelers.
The principal thoroughfare, was itself a marvel of cottenliness and beauty. For more than 1,200 yards it was bordered on either side by two rows of lofty and beautiful columns, supporting rightly ornamented entablues, roofed across and forming a cool shady walk. At intervals along this colonnade of no less than 1,500 pillars there were imposing archways leading into other arched streets running at right angles to it. In fact, the whole city was a veritable forest of pillars, all the larger houses and all the public squares being surrounded by these shady colonnades, arches and porticos, so that the interiors of the stigma buildings were cool, even in the burning heat of summer.
Time Coming When Boys May Be Girls
"Boys will be boys," the old maxim that has stood the test of time—quast today be changed to "Boys must be girls." They must become domestic servants, says a Reading disquit to the Westminster Gazette. There is no way out of it, for girls, with their nimmer fingers and greater industry, are daily discipling boys and young man in the factories, says Mr. Thomas Norris, chairman of the Reading Board of Guardians. Boys are lazy and late; girls work harder and are more "manageable."
This is creating a new industrial problem. There are boys out of work for whom no employment can be found Mr. Norris' suggestion, made seriously, is to train them for domestic service.
At the last meeting of the Reading Education Committee, Mr. Norris proposed that bypril Web were unemployed should be made to attend domestic training classes.
"As men are being discharged from the factories," he said, "their-places are being taken, not by boys but by girls, and the reason is that girls have pimple fingers and, therefore, are better suited to manipulate machinery."
Enjoyed a Lucrative Practice Among Negroes
NEW YORK, NO. 10.-Forty percent of the dental patients of Dr. Jacob Grosz (white) whose offices were located in the heart of the on-scalloped "San Juan Hill" section of this city, were Negroes. It appears, however, that they must have paid their dental bills promptly, inasmuch as the dentist's deposits in the Manufacturer's Trust Company have been averaging from $200 to $800 a day. This fact came to light in a recent investigation of the dentist's affairs.-C. P. B.
Bilinguists of Porto Rico
Children of Porto Rico are taught to speak, read and write in both the Spanish and English languages, according to the United States Bureau of Education. More efficiency in English than in Spanish, in both speed and thought was shown in a test of grading abilities of pupils in Vieques. The supervisor says that more intensive work in done in English than in Spanish, and that consequently the children are more careful in their use of English.

White Woman Enjoys Stay in Australia Wilds Among Blacks
Northern territory holds many interesting people whose lives would make exciting stories. Among them is Miss Lokee, of Woodford Creek, near Harddenaux.
Miss Lokee is Australia's loneliest missionary, and is the only white person on the Woodford Creek mission station in the heart of the Northern Australian bush. She controls 200 blacks, 80 of whom are children. One old girl living at the station is over 100 years old, and two other aboas have passed this 85 mark. Miss Lokee does her best to make the mission self-supporting by putting the abo to work trapping rabbits and kangaroos and selling the skins.
Loneliness is no new sensation to Miss Lokee. She spent five years on Sunday Island before going to the Northern territory. She was the only little woman on the island, and says she enjoyed the solitude and has no desire to go back to the city.
Bathtubs Increase in Paris While Trees Are Dying
PARIS—The Frenchman who remarked that he preferred Paris to New York because he loved trees better than habituating the new witnessing the slow death of many of the trees that are so much a part of the charm of the French capital.
Batholus, moanwhile, are increasingly elsewhere. Factory smoke is partly responsible for killing the trees of Paris, but the blight is blamed more upon the automobile exhaust than anything else.
The Bois remains its green and glorious self, but the boulevards are no longer so shaded as they were. Horse chostet trees, once so common, have died by the hundreds since taxis took the place of cabs. Most of the new trees planted to replace them are necacias, but they soom, none too healthy. Plane trees are harder than any others in fighting the inter-communication era. On the left side of the Seine are many maples, but to one who has seen New England they have a lean and hungry look.
HAYTI SEES DAN ON FREE SPEECH IN NEW BILLS
Amendments to Constitution to Be Voted Next January Protested as Restricting Trial by Jury and Freedom of the Press
Sharn opposition has developed in Haytt, according to advises received here, to the proposed amendments to the Hayttian constitution to be voted on in January, including clauses which it is asserted by the cities of the amendments, would seriously restrict freedom of speech and trial by jury and put the judiciary under the control of the President.
The Committee of Haytt, which has offices at 9 West Sixty-fourth street, has given out a letter sent to General John H. Russell, High Commissioner in Haytt, by to Ligue des Droits de l'Arme, of Haytt, protesting against proposed changes in the electoral law which, the latter resorts, would "supress liberty and make a genuine vote impossible" But the crux of the matter, according to Americans recently returned from Port-au-Prince, is the constitutional amendments.
Article 16 of the present constitution granting freedom of speech is modified to read "freedom of the press is guaranteed, subject to conditions determined by law." As there has been no legislation in Haiti since the American occupation, the government consisting of the Haytian President and Council of State acting in conjunction with the American High Commissioner and the other treaty officials, this clause, it is asserted, would leave regulation of the press to such measures as the President and High Commissioner saw fit to page.
Article 19, which reads, "right of trial by jury is established in criminal cases and in cases involving political offences and those committed by the progs," is changed to read, "trial by jury is established in criminal prosecution in those cases specified by law." The critics of the amendment assert these two clauses taken together would make it possible for jury trial to be denied to those accused of having offended in the press.
The amendment referring to the judiciary restricts the terms of Supreme Court judges from life to ten years and while stifting that "once judges are appointed they are not subject to revocation by the executive", adds, "however, the judges continue to be subject to . . . special legislation which will determine the causes for removing them from office." This clause, the critics say, practically puts the judiciary under the control of the President. Moreover, the amendments contain the provision that "for a period of twelve months following the adoption of those amendments the Executive is authorized to make changes in the present personnel of the courts which he deems necessary."
Another curious feature of the situation pointed out by the critics of the amendment is that, while the reason given for the failure to permit the Haytan people to hold an election for a legislature is their political incapacity for such an election, the present constitution, which Mr Franklin has said he wrote himself, was passed by a popular vote hold under the supervision of American marines, while the amendments themselves, before they become a law, must similarly be submitted to a popular vote.
The full text of the letter sent to General Russell by the Ligue des Droits de l'Homme is as follows: "By an agreement of August 21, 1918, between M Louis Borro, Secretary of Foreign Affairs (for Hayt) and the United States Minister to Hayt, it was arranged that drafts of laws relating to the treaty should be presented to the American Legislation as a matter of information and, if necessary, for discussion.

ment, the Logation of the United States that constantly, as in spawn by official documents, claimed "that all drafts of laws of the government of Hayt, whatever their character, should be submitted for its approval, it finally succeeded in imposing this point of view so that no law is voted and promulgated in the republic without its express approval. It therefore accepts responsibility for all legal measures in Hayt.
"It is this fact which gives us the right to address ourselves to you, under the present grave circumstances and to disturb you in the midst of the numerous claims upon your time with a request in the name of justice.
"After the amendments to the constitution of Hayt, deposited with the Council of State which are contrary to the second paragraph of Article 125 of the constitution, and have been protested against by all the country, a bill offering the electoral law of August 4, 1919, was submitted on September 12k ask to the Council of State, since which time it has been voted.
"Up to now this law has not been promulgated. The draft was published in the paper 'L'Essor' of Thursday, September 15.
"This new electoral law contains provisions which are contrary to democratic principles.
"It suppresses liberty and makes a genuine vote impossible. It makes government officials the sofa inspectors of elections. It threatens the voters."
"This law, therefore, is illiberal and unjust and prevents the free action of the electors. It tends to provoke conflicts in the country which needs quolitude and peace.
"Especially call your attention to this piece which is intolerable in our era of liberty and enlightenment.
"Does it not also tend to discredit the United States, the country of the great principles of democracy of Thomas Jefferson and others?
"The Hayton League for the Rights of Man protests against this new electoral law."
"it hopes that the government of the United States will refuse to recognize it as it has done in the past with other laws which it did not approve.
Dog a Salaried Aid Of League of Nations
GENEVA, Switzerland.—The League of Nations has a dog on its payroll Loulou, a fine German shepherd, has thus been honored because of his ability to guard the big home of the league.
Loulou has been on the payroll for some time, being allowed about $5 a month for substance. But, the dog really proved his worth during the recent Sacco-Venzetti riots, when the mob throw stones through the library windows and broke nearly all the windows in the large glass room known as the goldfish bowl.
When the mob leaders were breaking down the rear entrance of the main building with the intention of reducing it in fire, Loulou appeared on the scene with the two watchmen. The mob did not mind the watchmen, and was pushing in when Loulou got into action. The place was promptly cleared, and the mob held back long enough for the police to arrive.
Napoleon Once Planned Colony in Texas
By the Treaty of Paris in 1763 France ceded to Spain all the territory between the Mississippi River and the Rocky Mountains and north of Texas. By the secret treaty of San Idelfonso in 1800, Spain, under pressure from Napoleon, gave it back to France.
At that time Napoleon had designs to found a colony in what is now Texas, but in 1803 saw he was likely to have war with England, and that it would be impossible to protect such distant possessions, says the Detroit News. Therefore the French leader gladly consented to sell the Louisiana Territory, as it was then called, to the United States for $1,600,000.
Through President Jefferson this monumental transaction was successfully congratulated, and with one board the American republic was extended from the Atlantic Ocean to the Rocky Mountains.
Only Chinese in Union Army Still Survives
HOT SPRINGS, S. D. Nov. 42.—The only Chinese recorded as serving in the Union Army during the Civil War, Edward Day-Cohota, is spending his last days at the Battle Mountain Sanitarium here. Cohota is 84 years old. He was sought to America by a sailing master and roamed the Massachusetts waterfronts as a boy. He enlisted in a Massachusetts regiment, re-enlisted after the war and spent thirty years in the service. He was retired from Company G, Eighth Infantry, in 1894, as the only Chinese, ever mustered out of the United States Army.
Bank Window Left Open To Provide Ventilation
Two citizens passing the savings bank at Nantucket, Muss one night noticed that a window on the street floor of the bank was open, save the Boston Globe.
The next morning when one of the citizens stepped into the bank he asked: "Did you know you left a window open last night?" Came the answer, "O, yes, we leave it open for ventilation."
The Federal Reserve Bank of New York handles on the average of thirty-five tons of coins in day. By the machine used to count and weigh those it is found that a thousand dollars worth of dimes weigh fifty-three pounds; that fifty bags of nickels total ten thousand dollars, and that a ton of coins all fifty hags and are north three thousand dollars.
Enroll 141,000 Chinese in Mission Churches
Chinese to the number of 728,616 are enrolled as members of the Methodist Episcopal Church in China, and 14,339 others have been baptized and are being trained for church membership, according to announcement made today by Dr. William B. Tower, recording secretary of the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church. These figures are based upon reports which he has received from the secretaries of the ten conferences in China. The board of foreign missions has 398 missionaries assigned to service in China, and the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the denomination has 333. A large number of those missionaries, however, have temporarily left China owing to the civil warfare; some of them, Dr. Tower, are temporarily in mission service in Japan, Korea and the Philippines, or on furlough in the United States. Almost all of them are planning to return to their stations when the present warfare is over.
There are 1.161 ordained and 480 unordained pastors who are serving in churches throughout the Republic. In addition to these, 1.160 Chinese men and 1.361 Chinese women are carrying on as teachers, Bible instructors, nurses, doctors, and in other capacities of mission service.
Motor Car Making Its Way in Africa
The more remote countries' of the world have been slow to follow the lead of more civilized nations in the adoption of modern methods either in their social or their political lives. It has been difficult to persuade the Egyptian that a modern water pump was more than a treadmill used by slaves, or a mounted point of defiance that a blow, or even a steel hoe, was a certain means to create brobes.
Yet these people are awakening gradually, and it is surprising to find motor cars' and trucks' replacing the "ship of the desert" and the donkey in Southwestern Asia and Northern Africa, where civilization perhaps is oldest, but least susceptible to change. Between Naxarach and Bagdad it is now a common occurrence for a line of motor cars to crowd a caravan of camels off the road. Shops have been opened within the last few years whose Joseph taught Jesus the carpenter's trade that would do credit to an American city of the same size. And science is driving the germ-laden, mosquito from the malaria-plagued districts of the Near East, just as it has done in the Southern States and in the Canal Zone.
Artists Seek Colors In Chinese Sailboat
DEAD MAN'S POINT, N. C.-An American woman's artist is "admiral" of a Chinese junk which has come to anchor in the Atlantic near here. The ship is the Amoy, named after the "City of the Open Moon," where it was built The "admiral" is Mrs. Alfred Nilson of Sheepshead Bay, N. Y. Her husband, Carl. Alfred Nilson, its pilot, is well known as a writer. Captain and Mrs. Nilson write and paint while they sell from port to port. Their objectives are the quiet water villages on the seaboard and romantic local color for their work. The junk has two masts and a mizzen, with great, crisison, square-rigged sails. A crew of two completes the party.
The Amoy has a romantic history. Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford are said to have spent part of their honeymoon aboard. Capt George Ward, its original owner, was also a writer, who chose this boat for his world wandering. He sailed across the Pacific Ocean in eighty-seven days, although his craft was only, 68 feet long, with a waterline of only 32 feet and a beam of 19 feet. It draws 3 feet 7 inches of water.
Florence Mills Left Only $33,146 Estate
Florence Mills, star of *Navarro musical comedy*, danced and sang her way from the sidewalks of lenox avenue to great fame, but to no great fortune. The little singer lost an estate of only $33,140, about as much as or more she earned in a year. Because she left no will, Surrogate Foley yesterday granted letters of administration to her husband, U. S. Thompson, of No. 220 West 133rd Street.
In his position Thompson said the entire estate was in personal property and that he and Mrs. Mills' mother, Nellie Winrey, also of the 133rd Street address, are the only heirs.
The expenses of the funeral for Miss Mills are estimated at about $8,000, which will be paid out of the estate.
200. Jews Arrive
In Australia more than 50 Jews were on board the steamer Commissaire Ramal, which arrived at Molbourne last week. The ship made a special call at Jaffa to pick them up.
The passengers understand that the Jewish colonies in Palestine, promoted by Zionist organizations, have broken down, and that the Jews are turning to Australia as a land of milk and honey.
Identification Cards Required in Bolivia
A supreme decree, just issued, creates a section of identification in the police departments of Bolivia. All citizens and inhabitants of Bolivia and foreigners with a permanent residence, except the pure Indian races, are now required to obtain identification cards (carmets do identification) from the police at a cost of five hollywives (approximately $21).
Japanese Exceed Hawaiians In Latter's Own-Schools
HONOLULU, Nov. 0. - Although American citizens of Japan are ancestry, with an enrolment of 82,316, or more than 50 percent of the total, continue to fund among the various racial groups attending the public schools of Hawaii. It is the opinion of the school, department that the peak of enrolment for these pupils has been reached and that the outstanding future increase will occur among Filipino children due to the recent large influx of natives from the Philippines.
Statistics made public by Will O Crawford, superintendent of public instruction, show that 62,208 pupils were enrolled in public schools as of June 30, an increase of 3.348 over 1926. Public and private schools had a total enrolment of 72,526 with 260 schools and 2,623 teachers. There were 187 public and sixty-three private schools, with 2,146 teachers. In public and 348 in private schools. Of the total number of pupils, 37,498 were boys and 35,026 were girls.
It is estimated that when the public schools open for the new term there will be an increase in enrolment of about 4,000, which represents a maintenance of the average year-to-year growth.
Of the total public school enrolment on June 20 last, 60,575 pupils were born in the United States, and 1,635 were foreign born. The bulk of the foreign born were natives of the Philippines.
American citizens in the schools had increased to a total of 57,281 on June 30. The number of foreign born pupils decreased until there were but 1,579. Three of the racial groups show decreases. These are Hawaiian, Spanish and Porto Rican.
Following is the June 30 enrolment by racial descent, the figures in parentheses showing the number a year ago:
Hawaiian, 8,323 (8,465)
*Pac-*Hawaiian, 6,526 (5,978).
Anglo-Saxon, 2,345 (2,161).
Portuguese, 5,868 (5,656).

Port Rican, 1,081 (1,047).
Chinese, 754 (646).
Japanese, 2,816 (20,265).
Korean, 1,310 (1,148).
Filipino, 2,570 (2,308).
Others, 765 (728)
The largest public school group is that composed of pupils of the age of eight years, with a total of 7,410.
Noted Authors Tired Of Their Own Works
Some authors have had a sudden revolution of feeling, usually brought on by overwork, and have condemned everything they ever wrote. Lord Byton new into a rage one day and ordered his publishers to destroy all of his poems they had in hand, says the Detroit "News." Those in bookstores he tried to forstall from literary channels by the process of buying every volume he could find, but found the expense prohibitive.
John Ruskin, the English author, art critic and social reformer, had a similar morbidity overcome him while sitting for his portrait. Turning suddenly to Dante Gabriel, Rossetti, for whom he was posing, he said he had lost all faith in revealed religion, that he regarded all he had already written as bosh, that he should write nothing for some years (one biographer says ten), and that he should then vigorously pull to pieces all his previous writings.
It is a fact that nearly all of Kunkin's best books were written prior to the time of this alleged change of opinion, 1862, but he published at least two well-known works as soon thereafter as 1865; when "Seamea and Lillies" appeared, and in 1885-9, when "Protetlerin" saw the light. A preface to a book in 1871 gave the first public intimation of his revised ideals.
Apple Tree Bears Fruit
And Blooms at Same Time
An apple tree in the orchard of Henry French, of West Springfield, Mass, has produced a specimen in which fruit and blossom are growing simultaneously. The apple, nearly two and a half inches in diameter, matured at the end of last year's growth; the cluster of six delicate pink and white blossoms is several inches beyond at the tip of this year's growth. At a pomologist says that the freak was probably caused by disease or injury to the branch, retarding the normal progress of the blossom, and that the late warm weather brought the belated bud to fruition, says the Boston Globe.
Eiffel Tower Lights Out As Economy Move
PARIS - Illumination on the Bifolio Tower is over for the winter. All last year and for six months this year two sides of the great tower have been illuminated by a great silver fountain, which changes alternately into a block design in amber and gold and then into an advertisement for a French automobile manufacturer. It costs the manufacturer, M. Citroen, a lot of money. There are more than a million globes in the sign Since comparatively few visitors come to Paris in winter. It has been decided this year to economize and turn the dazzling fountain off until next spring

Ocean Divers Now Work Without an Air Hose
Hose for conducting air from the surface to the diver under the water has heretofore been considered indispensable. An elaborate outfit of pumps operated either on land or in boats was necessary to force fresh air continuously through a great length of hose to the mid. below the surface. Now the inventive brain of man has conceived and put into successful operation an ingenious device which will probably in time do away with the old apparatus for diving, says the Washington Star.
By this method the diver carries on his back two affixed bottles containing highly compressed oxygen. Another cylinder contains chemicals for absorbing the carbonic acid exhaled from the lungs. A system of piping cards dll the impure air breathed out to a chamber containing the absorbing chemical. In this compartment the deadly carbonic acid gas is entirely eliminated. A small amount of oxygen, just enough to renew the air, is added to the changed and regenerated exhalations and passed on to a compartment in the helmet, where it can be inhaled through the nose or mouth. By this system the vitiated air is continually being made over into new.
It is thought this device will do away with the accidents and sometimes loss of life which have occasionally happened through defects in the diving hole or pumping apparatus so long in use. But while the diver may carry his atmosphere, as one does his wardrobe, along with him he cannot yet quite disconnect himself from the outer world, as the signal lines still necessary for means of communication.
Dead Sea. a Treasure Chest
Of Rich Chemicals
Enormous quantities of valuable chemicals are held in solution in the waters of the Dead Sea, according to Dr Thomas H Morton, who regarded the historiot spot as a potential source of great wealth, capable of supplying the world with important substances for years to come, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. Magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, common salt, usually pure, and magnesium bromide, containing fugitive chloride, of various hypochlorites among the chemicals found there in great abundance. For their generation, solid evaporation is the chief factor employed. Nearshore to ocean transportation is another favorable factor.
Ruins of Persian Palace Discovered in Africa
NAIROBL Africa. Nov. 12.—The ruins of the luxurious palace of a sultan, with harem and mosque adjacent, have been discovered in the remains of the city of Gedi, north of Mombasa. Godd ligs in a dense forest and is a city of unknown age. Wallpeer through avenues of trees and giant creepers hold together the crumbling fragments of roofed dwellings whose inhabitants probably lived more than a thousand years ago, mulling along a crack from a point six miles inland to the seashore, was once surrounded by a wall. The removal of part of the forest growth has revealed the ruins of the palace, which is believed to be of Persian origin.
Russian Expedition Seeks Lost World
LENINGRAD, Russia, Nov 5, A D "The lost world," in the Yangtze tree district near the eastern hordes of Tibet is to be explored by the Leningrad Geographical Society. It is preparing to send out an expedition under the direction of M. Kozloff, a well-known scientist and explorer. Nothing is known to science of the vegetation and fauna of this vast territory, which covers hundreds of square miles. The scientists of western Europe are held to believe in the existence of forests of the richest varieties with trees of enormous dimenions, ferns as large as oaks and drudt trees which would provide food for hundreds of thousands of humane.
Ancient City of Palmyra A Forest of Pillars
The ancient city of Palmyra, located about 160 miles northwest of Durhamus and about the same distance east of the flying coast of the Mediterranean, was in its heydey a marvelous metropolis. In 264 the king Emperor Gallienus recognized the city's importance by giving the title of governor of the East to Odalmuth, then ruler of the city. Odalmuth had married a beautiful Bedouin girl Bath-Zabbal. He was slain about 267 and his widow became regent on behalf of Wubbalath, the eldest of her three infant sons, who, however, died in 271, says the Detroit News.
To the Romans Bath-Zabbal, was known as Zenida, and soon they were beginning to talk about her with unyield admiration. Her city of Palmyra had grown into a glorious metropolis, and its super buildings were described with give by travelers.
The principal thoroughfare was in itself a marvel of stateliness, and beauty. For more than 1,200 yards it was bordered on either side by two rows of lofty and beautiful columns supporting richly ornamented entablatures, roofed across, and forming a cool, shady walk. At intervals along this colonnade of no less than 1,500 pillars there were imposing arrows leading into other adjoined streets running at right angles to it. In fact the whole city was a veritable format of pillars, all the larger houses and all the public squares being surrounded by these shady colonnades, arches and porticos, so that the interiors of the stone buildings were cool, even in the burning heat of summer.
Time Coming When Boys May Be Girls
"Boys will be boys" - the old maxim that has stood the test of time - must today be changed to "Boys must be girls". They must become domestic servants, says a Reading dispatch to the Westminster Gazette. There is no way out of it, for girls with their nimble fingers and greater industry, are daily displacing boys and young men in the factories, says Mr. Thomas Norris chairman of the Reading Board of Guardians. Boys are lazy and late; girls work harder and are more "managable". This is creating a new industrial problem. There are boys out of work for whom no employment can be found. Mr. Norris' suggestion, made seriously, is to train them for domestic service.
At the last meeting of the Reading Education Committee, Mr. Norris proposed that boys who were unengaged should be made to attend domestic training classes:
"As men are being discharged from the factories," he said, "their places are being taken, not by boys but by girls, and the reason is that girls have nimble fingers and, therefore, she has often suited to manipulate machinery."
Enjoyed a Lucrative Practice Among Negroes
NEW YORK, Nov. 19—Forty percent of the dental patients of Dr. Jacob Gross (white) whose offices were located in the heart of the no-called "San Juan Hill" section of this city, were Negroes. It appears, however, that they must have paid their dental bills promptly, in much as the dentist's deposits in the Manufacturer's Trust Company have been averaging from $200 to $800 a day. This fact came to light in a recent investigation of the dentist's affairs. C. P. B.
Bilinguists of Porto Rico
Children of Porto Rico are taught to speak, read and write in both the Spanish and English languages, according to the United States Bureau of Education. More efficiency in English than in Spanish, in both speed and thought was shown in a test of reading abilities of pupils in Vieques. The supervisor says that more intensive work is done in English than in Spanish, and that consequently the children are more careful in their use of English.

White Woman Enjoys Stay in Australia Wilds Among Blacks
(From Smith's Weekly)
Northern territory holds many inter-
eating people whose lives would make
exciting stories. Among them is Miss.
Locks of Woodford Creek, near Haf-
derson.
Miss Locks is Australia's loneliest
missionary, and the only white person
on the Woodford Creek mission
station in the heart of the Northern
Australian bush. She controls 200
blacks, 80 of whom are children. One
old girl living at the station is over 100
years old, and two other aboys have
passed the 95 mark. Miss Locks does
her best to make the mission self-support-
ing, by putting the aboys to work
trapping rabbits and kangaroos and
selling the skins.
Loneliness is no new sensation to
Miss Locks. She spent five years on
Sunday Island before going to the
Northern Territory. She was the only
white woman on the island, and says
she enjoyed the solitude and has no
desire to back to the city.
Bathtubs Increase in Paris While Trees Are Dying
PARIS—The Frenchman who remarked that he preferred Paris to New York because he loved trees better than habitats in now witnessing the slow death of many of the trees that are so much a part of the charm of the French capital.
Bathubus, meanwhile, are increasing here as elsewhere. Factory smoke is partly responsible for killing the trees of Paris, but the blight is blamed more upon the automobile exhaust than anything else.
The Bols remains its green and glorious self, but the boulevards are no longer so shaded as they were. Horse chestnut trees, once so common, have died out in place of cobs. Most of the new trees planted to replace them are acacia, but they seem—too healthy. Plane trees are harder than any other in fighting the internal combustion era. On the left side of the Seine are many maps, but to one who has seen New England they have a keen and hungry look.
THE NEWS AND VIEWS OF U.N.I.A. DIVISIONS
OAKLAND, CAL
The Oakland Division of the U. N. I. A. is "carrying on." Not until every man, woman and child of the Negro race in this vicinity has been acquainted or inoculated with the true tenets of Garveyism, will we cease to "spread the gospel."
Saturday evening, November 8, an invitation was extended a member of our division to address the Acorn Athletic Club of the Bay City on the "History of the Garvey Movement." It is needless to state that the opportunity was accepted. It is a duty that we consider an honor and a privilege to answer.
This club is composed of young men interested in their social and athletic improvement. A very hard and courteous group greeted our delegation. Time would not permit a complete survey of our difficulties, but sufficient information was given to convince these youths of the significance and importation of Garveyism to their future welfare.
The mass meeting of Sunday, November 6, was fully attended. A program of enthusiasm and high spirit was rendered. Mr Lloyd Beckford, a Garvey pioneer and patriot, presided as master of ceremonies. His remarks were very appropriate and encouraging.
The juvenile continue to remain the stellar feature of the afternoon's mass meetings. The most fertile mind for the psychology of Garveyism is that of the children. Their little restitutions and addresses are truly marvelous and inspiring. False doctrine and propaganda of racial inferiority are annihilated by the instruction of Garveyism. "I am captain of my soul and the architect of my destiny," is the creed taught to our posterity.
Current topics were read by A. S. Gray. The desperate efforts of the white publicists to propagate the theory of racial prejudice and fear of non-white races was noted in the editorial of the Hearst-Lexaminer entitled, "Hidesous Mnpollian Brutality." We must fight propaganda with propaganda, or better expressed, kill all false and detrimental ideas with a relentless search for truth. One of the greatest wrongs committed by white civilization is their wholesale perversion of historical facts. This is the most unforgivable crime of the age. An article from the November "Current History" magazine was read. The author of the contribution was Judge R. W Winston of North Carolina. As is usual, the Negro is the "fly in the outlet." To those who entertain political ambition from the Republican Voryeese—note this exhortation: "Let the Republican Party put into the platform the statement already known and understood of all—the Negro Question is a local one—and further this appeal—Just as soon as the Negro taboo and the "fundamental" religious taboo disappear, we may expect party lines to disappear also." In other words your so-called "constitutional rights" and political privileges are to fade away into insignificance for the best interests of the nation as a whole. And there, there no Negro element present, it is very doubtful if there would have been created two political parties, now known as the Republicans and the Democrats. It seems that the whites are fearlessly going about their correction of the political "error" made. Will thinking Negroes take heed?
A very excellent recitation was given by Mrs. I. Woods, ex-lynda president of the Oakland Division. The spirit of Faith, Courage and Pride were expounded in her splendid delivery. After singing two verges of "Where He Leads Me" by the audience, an address was delivered by Mr. Williams, who has traveled around the globe and made numerous efforts to assist in the education of the African natives. His remembrances were heartily appreciated and enjoyed. A great appeal for unity was made by Mr. Williams in order that the redemption of Africa might be spedily achieved. At the conclusion of this wonderful address the announcements were made and the national anthem sung.

The lady president was absent, the meeting was then turned over to Mrs. Meggan, the mistress of ceremonies, who occupied the chair. She made the welcome address. The features of the meeting were the snappy addresses of the ladies, who did their best to make it a success. Miss F. Hagues, the lady vice president, was the speaker of the day. This brought our program to a close. The meeting was then turned over to the president, who thanked the people for their loyalty and attention before the singing of the national anthem. F. HAGUES, Reporter.
On Sunday, October 30, Mr. H. Hoxie, president of the division, who had just returned from a yacht to the president-general, brought good news to the Watts Division and Chapter 5 A from our leader, the Hon. Marcus Garvey. The loyal members are determined to fight until the battle is won. Mr. W. N. Morgan, chaplain, took his text from the book of Proverbs, 6th chapter, 9 to 10th verses. Mr. F. Townsend, second vice-president, made a short talk, and turned the meeting over to the master of ceremonies, Mr. L. T. Berry, first vice-president.

Shriver, alms and objects rendered by Mr. Clark; sploitation, by the choir, song, by Miss P Hoxie; front page of the "Negro World" read by Mrs. M. C. Berry, lady secretary; address, by Master B.

First on program was the reading of the first page of the Negro World, by Mr. Homer Alexander, under the subject, "Scrapping the Intellectuals," the leading point was to show how disloyal and selfish the average Negro "Intellectual," of the passing generation to his race, the second point was to show how our Negroes, after getting an education, which was his privilege for the last twenty, thirty, or forty years ago, has turned the Negro race, and instead of preserving his race he intermingle with his white people and not with his own, this is the greatest fault of our Negroes today.
The next on program was a stirring address given by our Mr. Davis. He held the audience for forty minutes. His subject was "Stick Until You Can't Stick, Then Stick Anyway." WILLIE LUE JOHNSON, Reporter.

MONTREAL, CANADA
On Sunday, October 23, the members of the Montreal Division were surprised to see Mr. Zeph. Chambers, who had unexpectedly retupped from Jamaica, after a ten-months' stay, looking well and robust. This ardent Garvoyle gave a brief account of his experience while at home. His remarks followed a studied, and brilliant address by the president, Mr. Alfred Potter on "Co-operation."
On Sunday, October 30, Mr. Chambers gave a more complete account of his sojourn. He spoke in high terms of the work of the U. N. I. A. throughout the island of Jamaica. Mr. Shirley Carter, one of our coming young men, gave a brilliant address which received well merited applause. Space does not permit me to give the program in detail, but Mrs. Barton and Lady President Mrs. Julien are to be congratulated on the conduct of these two monster meetings.
The annual Halloween' on Dance on Monday night was the greatest social event of the season. The hall would not accommodate the crowd, and it present realized the need of us owing "our own ball." Mrs. Foleks and her assistants are to be congratulated on this success. The winners of the prizes for best costumes were Miss Mildred Scale, Miss Vlvian Layse and Miss Blackman. All Montreal is talking about the comeback of Walter "Kid" Morris at the Forum. Before a crowd, of over 5,000, Morris so outfought and outgamed his white opponent that the referee dared not call it less than a draw. Popular opinion gave Morris the bout by a wide margin. Morris is well known and liked by the community at large. He will give an entertainment at the U. N. L. A. Hall in the near future. All are urged to give this boy their support.
On November 17 the Entertainment Committee announces a Juvenile Revue and Dance by Miss Dore. It is hoped that all will support this event.
Dr. Kenneth Meltville, of McGill University, an able supporter of the Division has moved his offices to 247 Sherbrooke street, West.
We regret to announce the death of young Miss Rubie Jones, a most promising girl. We extend our sympathy to her bereaved relatives. Mr. Forgus McKenzie and Mr. Joseph are on the sick list. Mrs. Chas. Russell, vice-president, has recovered and is prosecuting the work of the Boys' Band with great energy. We appeal to all Negroes to support the program of the U. N. I. A., both locally and universally.
Sunday, November 6, was a red letter day for the Norfolk Division. The spacious remodeled Liberty Hall was tastefully decorated with flags and bunting with several hakeets of autumn flowers, posted in the window sills. The beautiful crysanthemums lent their perfumed odor imperially to all, and the uniform rank turned out in full. Members, friends and visitors came from every city, town and hamlet of Tidowwater. All this was a tribute one man, the man whom all well-thinking Negroes adore, the man who is most dreaded by principalities and powers, the man whose name is familiar to all nations and tongues and is heard in every corner of the globe, the man—"Marcus Garvey."
It was then Garvey Day and a special patriotic program was prepared for the occasion. The Garreta Temple Choir directed by professor Ballards, rendered choico anthems along with several solos. The music was furnished by professor Balley's Juvenile Orchestra, one of the best in the city. We had as our distinguished visitors Blder W. H. Dunn of the Holmess Church, principal speaker. Mr. Billupa of K. of T. lodge, lawyer D. H. Edwards, and Editor Young of the Norfolk Journal and Gulfe, also delivered soul-surring addresses. A packed hall of Garveyes choiced and shared ahead as the speakers oratorically drove home sentiments befitting the occasion. The chairman, Prof. R. Jacohol, then responded to all and thanked the participants for their contributions to "Garvey Day." This brought an epoch-making event to a close and we dismissed with the singing of the Ethiopian Anthem.

ATLANTIC CITY, N. J.
On Sunday, November 6, the U. N. I. A. Division of this city met in the regular meeting place with a very enthusiastic group. After the opening hymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains" was sung, Mr. M. Wilson directed the prayer services, which was much like a masterpiece. He prayed for us, the cause, and the man, Honorable Marcus Garvey.
Our president, Mr. Simmons, gave a most wonderful lecture, urging all qualified voters for the election of our white friends to office, to ask beforehand if clemency and consideration will be shown to Garvey. He reminded the members of the benevolence and kindness that the candidates are showing towards us this week, which is only superficial, he said. After all this is over with, if we are not careful, that same spirit will be in existence towards us. Therefore, we must be wideawake and vote for a man that will help us in our struggles. Everybody appeared to be deeply in sympathy with Mr. Simmons's speech. He received much applause.
Following this lecture were two songs by the audience.
The next speaker of the evening was Mr. Pow, who gave a splendid piece of oratory. His subject being pledged from which many orators have spoken it was "What Think Ye of Jesus?" Nearing the climax he changed to "What Think You of Garvey?" when he brought many vital points to light. After these addresses the audience joined in singing "God Bless Our President," which brought the meeting to a close.

Nuestro presidente.general y su excarcelación
Es inconceible el que haya un solo miembro de esta organización que divide por un monoento la privación de que nuestro presidente general es objeto, especialmente en el periodo de festividades que se avecina.
Lucha por la adquisición de un sitio apropiado para nuestra raza en el universo—La gerarquia racial y el imperio del negro—Nuestra fe en tal realización debe basarse en la confianza en nosotros mismos—Somos los arbitros de nuestra doctrina y de nuestro propio destino
Muy por el contrario, su nombre se halla grabado en la mente de todos, abrigándoles simple la esperanza de que pronto le será commutada la pena y restaurado al seno del magno movimiento por el iniciado. Hemos de laborar incesantemente antes de las proximas navidades, apelando al presidente de la nacion para que extenda clémencia en el caso de nuestro lider, adquiriendo de ese modo su libertad incondicional.
Tiempo es ya de que el negro sepulte para siempre en la profunda fosa del olvido, su veneración a los hechos heróicos de las otras razas y cree inmediatamente sus propios mártires y eleve a la posición de la fama y del honor, hombres y mujeres que han hecho su contribución al enaltecimiento de la raza.
Tal actuación de parte del Ejecutivo será considerada por los ciudadanos de la raza en este pals y en el exterior, como el regalo de pascuas mas apreciable.
A Sojourner Truth, mujer antiesclavista y clarin elocuente de nuestra raza, perfenece el mismo puesto de santidad de la heroina franeesa Juana de Arco; Crispus Attucks, uno de los primeros héros que murió en la batalla de Bunker Hill, primer encuentro de los patriotas norteamericanos con las tropas inglesas en la guerra de independencia de este país, tiene derecho a la misma gloria que cualquier otro martir de cualquier otra raza; Toussaint L'Ouverture, el gran emancipador haitiano, como soldado y como estadista eclipsó la capacidad de los Cromwells y de los Napoleones.
El español, idioma internacional
En la reciente conferencia consular hispanoamericana de Washington, ha sido el nuestro idioma oficial de las sesiones. Lo habia sido ya en muchas otras asambleas aqui y fuera de aqui. Y deberá seguir imponiéndose cada vez más con más fuerza, dondequiera que se reunan representantes de las naciones del mundo.
Africa ha producido un considerable número de hombres y mujeres reuyo valor y cuyos hechos en tiempo de paz y en tiempo de guerra, han sido comparable, sino superiores, al valor y a los hechos de cualquier otro pueblo. Porqué no reconocer la bondad y la perfección en nosotros? Debemos inspirar actualmente una literatura y promulgar una doctrina propia, sin tener que dar explicación alguna a los poderes existentes. Es nuestro el derecho a tal actuación. Dejemos que el viento se lleve el ruido de opiniones y de sentimientos contrario. La oposición a la independencia de una raza es el arma de compate del enemigo para destruir las esperanzas de. un pueblo infortunado. Tenemos derecho a nuestra propia opinión conciente.
El español, como idioma internacional, tiene carta de naturaleza en las asambleas, de muchas entidades hace tiempo. La realidad lo ha impuesto y quienquiera que todavía niegue derecho a nuestro idioma a alternar con el francés y el inglés, procede con prejuicio motorio o bajo el influjo de una ignorancia lamentable.
Hasta ahora, sin embargo, mucho del desconocimiento de este derecho de la lengua de Cervantes, débese más que resistencia de los extrafios a falia de agresividad de los nuestros. Recordamos, por ejemplo, una conferencia internacional reunida en Washington, hacia 1920, en la que la debilidad y lirismo de los delegados espafioles impidió que se declarara su lengua oficial de la asamblea.
Si otros se mofan de nosotros, devolvamos tal cumplido con igual fuerza; no hay derecho para deshonrar, faltar al respeto *6 injuriar el sentimiento humano. Honrémosle cuando nos honren; usemos la misma medida cuando nos traten en vileza. Su arrogancia es superficial y es una asuncion sin fundamento en ley 6 en moral. Ellos proceden del mismo matriz retrogado; su historia primitiva es tan ruda como la nuestra; sus antepasados caminaban desnudos; vivian en excavaciones y en las ramas de los árboles, cometian sacrificios humanos, por siglos comieron carne de sus propios muertos y de animales salvajes.
Otros casos análogos podriamos citar, sin ir más lejos, on las primeras, sesiones de la asamblea de la Liga de Naciones, cuando er el momento oportuno para dar y ganar la batalla. Y lo deplorables que el hecho de no imponer su idioma como oficial los delegados de todos nuestros pueblos cuando se enfrentan con los de las demás naciones, les coloca, sin que lo noten y desde el principio, en inferioridad práctica y moral para sostener su posición.
Cuando nuestro pueblo ejercitaba las artes y la ciencia en las-riberas del río Nilo, sus antepasados estaban aun tomando sangre humana y nutriendose con el cuerpo de sus conquistados muérertos; cuando nuestro pueblo descifró el misterio de la estrellas y regularizó el cálculo, sus antepasados vivian en la selva en plena ignorancia y oscuridad. El mundo es aún al presente nuestro deudor por los beneficios de civilización; de Africa dimanaron las artes y la ciencia. Los adelantos modernos son la reproducción de una civilización, reflejada por nuestro pueblo miles de años ha, sin la ventaja de lo que en Africa se halla aun oculto, lo cual será introducido en lo sucesivo por la inteligencia de nuestras generaciones.
Cuaderno, se considera que de cincuenta y cuatro misiones diplomáticas acreditadas en Washington, veintiuna son de pueblos de nuestra raza, se percibe la enorme fuerza moral y material que deha sostener en cada, reunión el derecho del español como lengua oficial internacional. Ya se ha conseguido en muchos casos; pero no es bastante. Hay que conseguir siempre y no descansar hasta llegar a obtener este objetivo.
Porque debemos estar abochornados de ser negros?
Porque hemos de desalentarnos cuando alguien critica nuestras aspiraciones?
Qué podremos decir del mañana?
No se mofaron de Moises, de Cristo y de Mahoma?
No existió un Cartago, una Grecia y una Roma?
Del mismo modo que el judio se unifica por medio de su religión, la raza blanca por la asunción y la ley no escrita de superioridad y la mongolica por la apreciación a su propia sangre, el negro debe bagar su unión en una gran gerarquia racial, unión que no reconozca clima, limite 6 nacionalidad. Como el gran-fundamento de la iglesia romana, el negro universalmente debe practicar una fé: la conflanza en sí mismo, con un solo Dios, un solo objeto, un solo destino. No permitamos que escrúpulos religiosos 6 maquinaciones políticas nos dividan; sostengámonos unidos en todas partes, constituyendo un imperio racial sobre el cual el sol nunca se oculte.
De él se desprenderán, automáticamente, por asi decidir, ventajas efectivas, transcendentes, permanentes. Y no vale decir que es útil y hasta esencial hue nuestros representantes como canci las tenguas extranjas, porque el que tenga derecho a expresarse en la suya no implica que hayan de ignorar la del pals en que realizan sus labores.
En cierta ocasión, y para soppresa nuestra, un importante hombre de negocios neoyoquino, expresó su convicción de que les hispatoamericanos que no podían expresarse en ingles pertenecían a-clases incultas. La unformidad tiene origen, en cierto modo, en la desidia que hasta hace pocos años demostraron nuestros diplómites en imponer su tenguas.
La Naturaleza ha creado al hombre tal como es y con su propio ingenio creatriz el puede ser lo que quiera. No existe limite a la altura que el hombre puede ascender, haciendo uso de la actividad intelectual de su propia mente. Formando parte constituyente de una raza débil al presente, tehemos que medir a los demás con el mismo metro que se nos mide; pero en nuestro circulo de acción, debemos crear un desarrollo científico más elevado entre nuestra futura generación, porque en ella descansan todas nuestras esperanzas para contrarrestar la intriga del materialismo moderno. Retengamos en nuestra mente vivimos y laboramos para el establecimiento de una gerarquía racial compacta, la fundación de un imperio cuyo limite político, espíritual y natural será una raza emancipada y una natria redimida.
Nosotros contestamos al concerante gimétrico: "No hay más razón para que un hispano cuito hable ingles que para que usted hable español, si hemos de acceptar que es usted culto." Y nuestros representantes en el extranjero, que deben siempre conecer el idioma extrano, deberían en la mísa actitud, exigir reciprocidad de sus oyentes de otros idiomas. Están bien que los hispanos entienden otras lengues. Pero que los extranjeros entienden también la traje. —Lo Prona, N.Y.
Comunicación subterranea
entre dos estados
Un huracán servira para -soplar seguridad a miles de motorista. En realidad este es el nombre más apropiado que se puede dar al sistema de ventilación del Holland Velicular Tunnel que se halla actualmente funcionando, poniendo en comunicación a los estados de Nueva York y Nueva servey.
El húracán, producto de la ingeniería moderna, es la solución que los ingenieros aportan al problema que presentan los mortíferos gases producto de la combustión en los antomóviles y en el cuerpo humano, los que viciando el aire que generalmente se acumplían en los dos túneles gemelos, cuya longitud es aproximadamente una milla y tres cuartos, ofrecen una constante amenaza contra la salud de los que usen esta nueva via de comunicación, la que tiene capacidad para tres mil occhiientos vehículos por hora.
El aire os renovado e introducido en los dos túneles por medio de aparatos ventiladores sitiados que to conducen por debajo de los tubos, difundido dollo tan profusante que los motoristas apenas podran notar su presencia.
La tarea de conducir el aire a todo lo largo de los tineles está a cargo de cuerataindós engrimes ventiladores, dos veces más altos que la altura de un hombre de mediana estatura. Estos ventiladores fuerzan el aire a una velocidad de ochenta millas por hora a través de los tubos conductores situados debajo de la superficie de granito, sobre la cual ruegad los vehículos de una a otra orilla del rio Hudson. El aire es después distribuido entre una extensa ramificación de tubos auxiliares los que lo conducen haqia el interior del tunel, forzando a través de ranuras situadas justamente sobre la superficie y a los lados de la nueva via de comunicación.
Este aire viene constantemente aocular el-lugar del aire viciado con los gases de combustión, el cual es extraído a través de ranuras situadas en la bóveda del tunel. Para este sistema de extracción del aire viciado se han colocado también otros tantos ventiladores, esto es cuarentaíidos, los fuerzan el aire hacia el exterior por medio de tubos de desahogo colocados en la parte superior de dos edificios de siete pisos, uno a cada una de las orillas del río. El aire es expulsado en posición vertical, evitando que pudiera ofrecer la menor amenaza para la salud pública en los alrededores.
Los ingenieros del tunel asaguent
que este constante movimiento y expulsi-
nulo del alte viciado, que va a
m mezclarse con el aire en el exterior,
no ofrece peligro alguino para la
salud pública. El aire del tunel es
renovado cuarentaidos veces por
hora.
El aire extraído del interior del
tunel y cargado de gases venenos,
estará a una temperatura más elevada que el aire del exterior, debido al aire caliente que sale de los motores, indicándose que esto por si solo seria lo suficiente para lanzar el aire hacía las capas superiores de la almosfera.
*Ademas de estos, los ventiladores que llevan a cabo la extracción del aire viciado, son tan poderosos que ellos mismos forzarán el aire con tanta velocidad hacia las capas superiores, que para cuando el tiempo de enfriarse otra vez y empezar a descender, mezclándose con las capas directamente sobre la superfieia, ya se encontrará purificado y en condiciones adecuadas para el cuerpo humano.
En el mismo funel se sentita un aparente y gentil movimiento de aire fresco, pero la única indicación que el motorista tendrá del huracan que se desarrolla directamente debajo de el, se la darán el rugido constante de los gigantes e invisibles ventiladores constantemente azotando el aire y forzándolo a grandes veciaciones.
Este nuevo sistema de ventilation no solo aportará una cantidad suficiente de aire adecuado para la respiración humana, sino que evitará esas sensaciones desagradables de presión sobre los oidos en muchos tuneles mucho más cortos y que no están ventilados artificialmente.
La distancia entre el cauce del río y el tunel no es nunca menos de veinticinco pies. En el sugar donde el tunel va más cora de la superficie, la distancia entre la superficie de las aguas y el tunel es noventa pies.
JUNGLE LAW SEEN AT WORK ON TRIP THROUGH AFRICA
F. V. Patterson Tells of Anfelope Ignoring Lions When There Is No "Declaration of War"—All Beasts Drink Unmolested
BARIS, Nov. 14.—"Getting wild elephants and lions to pose for the movie camera is far better sport than shooting them," said Frederick V. Patterson today in a second interview with The New York Times correspondent on his five months' hunting trip in Africa.
Mr. Patterson, who is head of the National Fish Register Company and will sail for America on Wednesday, repeated that while he shot some animals he photographed far more, and when the films are developed they are likely to prove that Kiplin's "jungle law" is less a feast of the imagination than actual fact.
"I have seen and photographed a lion making its way through a herd of antelope, and the antelope scarcely turned their heads or stopped grazing."
Mr. Patterson said. "They seem to know when other animals come out to kill, as if there had to be a formal declaration of war."
"The water holes, of course, are sacred. There I saw and photographed zebras, antelopes, rhinos and lions drinking within a hundred feet of one another. The antelope, however, I admit, moved off a little way when a lion came down to drink Perhaps it was just politeness and they didn't want to muddy the water. "Of all the animals I saw, the buffalo seemed to me the most dangerous and most worth hunting. He seems to have a more cunning brain, though the rhinos are mean, too.
"One gave me the narrowest escape I had. We needed food for the natives, and I took a shot at one in the middle of some high seeds and wounded him. He got away and I had forgotten about him until suddenly he burst out on me. He had come back on his trail and seemed to have lain in wait for me, for another white hunter who was with me had gone on in front when the buffalo charged. He was too close to shoot, and I dodged him by only a few inches.
Charged by Wounded Rhing
"The buffalo has all the advantages of good eyesight, good hearing and a good nose, though possibly his nose is not so good as in other animals. The elephant and hippo are both short sighted, and they are easier to photograph if one keeps to the leopard." When Mr. Patterison and his white hunter, Finch Hatton, returned, from their trip some of the old hunters of Nairobi would scarcely credit the things they had seen and done.
"I shall have to send them those films," said Mr. Patterson, "to prove the story I told yesterday of how a family of lions posed all day for us even after I had shot the male. We made amends for that, for we shot an antelope and left the carcass for the rest of the family. A lioness had tried to bring one down herself, but missed, and it seems that it is about only once in three tins that she makes a kill. We put the carcass of the antelope within full view of the camera and turned off several hundred feet of film while the family were enjoying dinner. What they could not eat the lioness carried away over her shoulder. Usually it is safer to shoot the lioness first, for she is the more expert at killing and will try harder than a lion to avenge her mate."
Within 70 Fast of Elephants
During that five months' trek Mr. Patterson says he saw many thousands of antelope, zebra and giraffe, and got one picture of an elephant charging from within seventy feet.
"Then we had to boat it," he added. "In the marsh country north of Tanganyika we were told tint 168 persons had been killed by lions last year, and the Government has a special hunter whose job it is to keep the numbers down. In one month he shot sixty of all sizes. This has become more necessary since the British authorities have taken away the big hunting aparms from the natives, for the reason that each spear had to have its baptism in human blood before it was used for hunting." Mr. Patterson, is looking forward eagerly to getting home and seeing his thousands of feet of film and photographs developed.

When you feel life but a burden,
When your way is overcast,
When the days is full of trials,
With now dangers thickening fast;
Think then of the lark a-singing
As she gaily soars about;
Sure enough she has her troubles.
Yet she keeps the bright side out.
All the world is full of sorrow,
Full of heartache and of fears,
Full of lonesomeng and sadness,
Full of partings and of tears;
So it needs a something different,
That will put despair to rout;
That is why it halls the brother
Who will keep the bright side out.
Though your heart may have mis-
evolves.
giving
him a hide away your doubt.
For you surely cheer some other.
When you keep the bright side out.

Facts of Interest About New York State
Only one Speaker of the United States House of Representatives has ever come from New York State. He was John W. Taylor, who served two terms and completed the last one 100 years ago. In 1837, The people of the Empire State own 655,850 radio sets, a total greater than that of any other State. Pennsylvania comes second with 503,100, and Illinois third with 468,000. Fossils of the oldest known forest in the world are preserved in the upper Devonian rocks at Gillion, New York. These rocks contain "seen feet" trunks three feet in diameter. In 1855 the population of New York State was three and one-half millions, of which about one-fourth lived in Greater New York city. Today, with a population of about eleven millions more than half of the people live in Greater New York.

Suffragette in Tokio
Annova Emperor Hirohito
TOKIO—As Emperor Hirohito was leaving his palace this morning a woman attempted to thrust a petition into his automobile, asking him to consider granting suffrage to women. Police frustrated the attempt and the woman was arrested.
It is stated that the woman attempted to vote by proxy at the last election for her husband, who was ill. When she was forbidden to do so she brooded over the situation and finally in desperation decided to appeal directly to the Emperor.

Perhaps few notions are more widely prevalent in America than that members of the Negro race are better skinned with the instinct for melody and rhythm than is the case with the average white man. That this belief resists on an unseudo and unscientific basis is apparently established by a series of tests conducted among students of both races.
Those tests were devised by Dr. Carl E. Sessoreh of the University of Iowa who worked out standards for judging the average capabilities of white students at three educational levels, fifth grade, eighth grade and college. Guy R. Johnson for the last year and a half has been applying the same tests to Negroes of the same grades, examining in all some 3,500 students in the graded schools and colleges of North Carolina and Virginia. An account of his researches was published in a recent issue of the Southern Workman, a journal of Hampton Institute.
The tests were for apperception in pitch, in intensity of sound, in time, in rhythm, in tonal memory and in consonance. Perhaps the most interesting discovery was in the matter of rhythm, on which Mr. Johnson reports: "It may surprise some to learn that the Negroes whom I tested did not show a clear superiority over the whites in the same of rhythm. The Negro. fifth grade slightly excels the white fifth, but the differences are not great enough to be considered important. The Negro elighth grade is almost identical with the white elighth. The Negroes, however, show more very high scores and more very low scores than the whites. The same is true for the Negro college students. They excel the whites in the scores from 65 to 100, but they also concentrate more than the whites on the scores from 65 downward."
Similar results, with but slight variations, were obtained in the other tests. The writer draws the conclusion that there are no significant differences in the basic sensory musical capacities of whites and degrasses. The tests do disclose a greater variation from individual to individual among the Negroes. Mr. Johnson is inclined to suspect that where two persons rank equally well in musical talents success or failure at music will be largely a matter of motivation that 1), the one to whom music holds all-important interest will develop into a first-rate musician, whereas the one interested more in other-things will make but an indifferent musician.
The net result of these experiments will be to confirm a belief which has long been growing to the effect that, other things being equal, possession of unusual talents is likely to be an individual rather than a racial characteristic. Another result of almost equal importance is that the tests remind us of what we so often need to be reminded—that broad generalizations, even when widely held, are often extremely untrustworthy.
Ohio Town Lost 146 Years Discovered by Excavation
Ohio's oldest town of Schoenbrunn, two miles southeast of Cleveland, is the State's newest village as well for it now boasts of one house, which is more than it has had in more than a century. This structure is replica of the log cabin built by the Rev. David Zolzberger, Morvenn missionary, who founded the settlement on May 5, 1772. By August of that year Schoenbrunn became a thriving settlement of some 60 houses of hawn timber. Then the site was lost for 146 years, being discovered in 1928 by excavation.

THE PEOPLE'S FORUM
Whites Have Great .
H. R. H. Prince William of Sweden has paid a visit to the land of mystery and adventure. On his return he is giving a series of lectures accompanied by motion pictures and stereo views of scenes taken in "Pygmy Land." Tuesday evening November & the famous traveller and explorer was there, to Oakland "society" under the direction of the Oakland Forum. The Oakland Forum is an organization of Oakland's elite women folk, who from time to time present persons of distinction and fame. "Hunting Big Game in Pygmy Land" was the subject of the lecture. The film, however, showed more photographs of the natives and their object poverty than of the subject proper. In substance, the information concerning the game was given to the experience of the jungle life. "Wild Animals" is merely another form of Nordic camouflage to better study the African peoples.
No well thinking Negro will take exception to the writer of that article's expressions or assertions. In my opinion, such things help up those Negroes who are clamoring for social equality, instead of a government of their own. When the subject of "back to Africa" is put to some Negroes they say that they haven't got to go back to Africa for they have not lost anything there, and understand the things right way, the idea is that not inviting every Negro to go back to Africa. The idea is to set up a government in Africa which will maintain an army and navy for its protection, not unlike the other races and nations.
Among some of the items pertaining to "Awakening Africa" were: That where the natives formerly gave away valuable concessions for a few colored heads, today they are demanding CASH; another sordid revolution was that hundreds of natives can be seized by the announcement of SALT. Apparently, a great shortage of salt for food is prevalent. Another interesting feature of native life was the ingenuity of the natives in creating fire. This process is accompanied by the rapid bubbling of the water and the native such action requires only about two minutes. It was amusing to learn of the Prince's inability to duplicate the trick in a half hour. He admitted that he almost set fire to his two hands, so strenuous were his attempts.
Every Englishman is not at his home, neither is every American, nor German, Italian, etc., but their governments are at their services at any time. In every country they go, there is a representative of their government, someone to attend them to represent them. Such are the things the N. I. A. is aiming at.
Without the native guides the white explorers are severely handicapped. Negroes of the Western world must save their African brothers. Whites from all parts of the world are spending millions to fathom the secrets of the American aquarium such amns for more adventure. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
Naturally it would not be a pleasant thing to see all of us from this western world fucking down in Africa. Africa really could not find any use for some of us with our continuous rounds of arguments and misunderstandings. Notwithstanding opposition I believe long the veil will be lifted from the eyes of our Negro pessimists, and whatever the seeming backtracks of the Association might be, they will look on from an optimistic point of view and resolve to carry on until our objective is reached.

unexpected shortage of this rope and gunpowder on the market they will continue to afford them with their constitutional rights. I wonder what those Negro possessions must be say?
Just think of the ambition of those Negroes who are enlisted to whip a white man's country and allow the white man to be telling them about rope and gunpowder. Instead of getting busy and doing the things which the white man did, to get his country, they started to put up an argument about social equality, etc.
There is Africa, the country which ever have to say is our by divine design. We are the possibility of us getting down the road and joining with our brethren who are there and making it as good and attractive as any of the white man's countries. Why shouldn't we put ourselves in the position to guide our own destiny, dictate to the allions in our country, and tell them about not only rope and gunpowder but about cannot submarines, warships, airplanes, etc?

Z. Z. ISLAND.
GHEATTANOGGA. Term.. Nov. 10. Reorganization of the local interacial committee, with an unusually strong and representative personnel on both sides, was accomplished here a few days ago and the new committee has already entered earnestly upon its work. It is headed by former Mayor T. C. Thompson, with Dr. L. L. Patton as chairman of the colored section, L. M. Thomas and M. W.-F. Franklin vice-chairman, A. M. G. Pynnbacker and Rev. J. B. Barber secretaries, and W. J. Dodge treasurer.
The reorganization was accomplished at a meeting attended by about forty people. The membership of the new committee, numbered, was of the same number, who chosen as to represent all the more important civic, religious, commercial and industrial organizations of the city, including the Chamber of Commerce and the Manufacturers' Association. Two meetings a month will be held.
On recommendation of Rev. V. B. Barber and G. W. Franklin of the colored section the following were adopted as the committee's immediate objectives: Better living conditions, including housing and streets; closer and more sympathetic working contacts between the races, and an aggressive campaign in behalf of law observance and good citizenship. The first gun in the law and order-campaign was fired by the leading colored pastors on Sunday, October 2, in able sermons on Christian citizenship and respect for law. In the early days of the interracial movement the Chattanooga committee was a valuable factor in the improvement of interracial attitudes and conditions. In view of its extraordinary and representative, personnel, it is believed that the new committee has before it a future of great usefulness.

One-Half Visible In United States
Since gold is the basis of our own currency, as well as of that of a large number, of other nations, the gold holdings of the United States are of great importance not only in this country, but in the economic scheme of the world.
In the last two years many nations have returned to the gold standard, marking an improvement in the international economic and financial situation. In many recent months there has been little change in the gold movement, but in spite of the proaching of economists that it would be better if the gold supply were distributed, the metal continues to come to the United States. A gold export movement started in 1924, but it did not last. Factors of trade and other factors brought it back to this country. The recent import movement, however, has been slight compared to that in the year 1920 to 1924. In this period about $1,700,000,000 came to this country, without notice except to those with follow international financial transactions closely.
The monetary stock of gold held by the United States reached its highest point in the history of this country on December 1, 1924, when it amounted to $4,570,000,000. It again reached the $4,500,000,000 mark on July 1, 1926. Since 1928 the gold stock in this country has equaled about one-half of the vault's stock of gold in the world. Our present stock is 2.4 times an great as it was in 1913—New York Sun.

Earthquake Drills Given
Children in Japan
TOKOI (A.P.)—As Japan is a country of earthquakes and seismic catastrophe, may happen at any time, school children are being drilled in the avoidance of casualties accompanying of severe earth disturbance. In most primary schools the heavy wooden tops of the desks are not screwed down, but may be lifted from the grooves into which they are fitted. The children are drilled to lift off the desks to at a signal from the teachers, and to hold them over their shoulders as they may calmly fall from the room. In past earthquakes it has been found that many persons were knocked unconsciously by falling parts of ceiling. The desks tow will do much to protect the heads of school children when an earth crack happens, and will enable them to escape to the open. Since the great disaster of 1928 there have been approximately 30,000 large and minor earthquakes in Japan.

Whites Have Great Interest in Africa
H. R. Prince William of Sweden has paid a visit to the lord of mystery and adventure. On his return he is giving a series of lectures panned by motion picture and asteroid scenes of stories taken in "Burmy Land."
Tuesday evening, November 8, the famous traveler and explorer, treasured friend of the Oakland-bound direction of the Oakland Forum. The Oakland Forum is an organization of Oakland's elite Wilson folk, who from time to time present persons of
"Hunting Big Games in Fygmy Land" was the subject of the Lecture. The films, however, showed more photographs of the natives and their abject poverty thin of the subject proper in substance; the information in the films created an impression than the experiences of the jungle life. "Wild Animals" is merely another form of Nordic camouflage to better study the African peoples. Among some of the items pertaining to "Ayakwani Africa" were that where the natives are foraging for a few colored beads, today they are not demanding GABI; another sordid revelation was that hundreds of natives can be secured by the announcement of SALT. Appertently, a great shortage of salt for food is prevalent. Another eating feature was that where the natives in creating fire. This process is accomplished by the rapid rubbing of two sticks and a bit of straw. For the native such activities require only about two minutes. It was amusing to learn of the Prince's inability to duplicate the trick in half a hour, but it implied that the natives were to his two hands, so entrances were his attempts.
Without the native guides the white explorers are severely handicapped. Negroes of the Western world must save their African brothers. Whites from all parts of the world are spending millions to tazhom, the sheer scarcity of water in the desert. And der such wills for more adventure. A hint to the wise is sufficient.
ARTHUR S. GRAT.
Oakland, Cal.
U. N. I. A. Will Convert All Negroes in Time
To the Editor of The Negro World:
As one goes along in the ranks of the
Association, he finds himself being
fronted by three classes of passages,
namely, those who cannot understand
the aim, objects and principles of the
Association, those who will not understand
the aim, objects and who do not want
to understand them.
But after reading the extract from the "New Era" of Bunice, Louisiana, in reply to some previous article or the other (which was apparently written by a Negro) when the author was to the Negroes in general that rope and gunpowder has kept them in; submission for many years, and if there is not an
unexpected shortage, off this rope, and
gunpowder on the market they will
continue to afford them, with their cost
increasing.
Just think of the ambition of those Negroes who are satisfied to sit in a white man's country and allow the white man to be telling them about rope and gunbombing. Instead of allowing the white man did to get his country they started to put up an argument about social equality etc.
There is Africa, the country which I ever have to go, is my birch, inheritance. There is the possibility of us getting down there and joining with our brethren who are there and making it as good and attractive as any of the white man's countries, shouldn't we put ourselves in position to guide us, dictate, protect us, Our country, and tell them about not, only rope and gum powder but about cannon, submarines, warships, airplanes, etc?
No well thinking *Nego* will take exception to the writer of that article's expressions or associations. In my opinion, such things help up those Negroes who are clamoring for social equality, instead of a government of their own. When the subject of "back to Africa" is put to some Negroes they may say that they haven't got to go back to Africa for they have not lost any money there. Bpt I explain the right way, I explain it is not inviting way, I explain it is not inviting way, Nego to go back to Africa. The idea is to set up a government in Africa which will maintain an army and navy for its protection, not unlike the other races and nations.
Every Englishman is not at his home, mother is oxygen American, nor German, Italian, etc., but their governments are at their services at any time. In every country they go, there is a representative of the government to represent them. Such are the things the U. N. I. A. is alike at.
