"The subject of Negro lynching is getting bigger than the indifference which would ignore it. In thirty years weary American men and women have both beaten hered in a Texas town a few weeks ago, such details would sicken us, all. They are too fearful and revolting to be told. We would scarcely believe that an American man and woman are recorded in the daily papers of the section in which they occur. "The detestable, 'un-American practice must come to an end.' It is not that American men and women sort this sort of trace prejudice but the rable part.

Newton D. Brown of the University. Ask Suppression of "Birth of a Nation" Ask Suppression of "Birth of a Nation" "Hon. Newton D. Baker, Secretary of War, Washington, D.C. "Dear State, I designated represent an organization whose purpose it is (1) to promote the general interest of the Negro people of this community, and (2) to keep them, to the man, unfaltering in their loyalty to the program the Government has asked its people to follow in order to win this election. We are interested in the first object of this organization, as we know it is interested in the second. Believing this, we are respectfully and urgently presenting the following request, viz.: "That the photophy known as 'Birth of a Nation' be put under the borough jurisdiction of the United States. We have the following reasons to submit in support of this request: "(1) The specific purpose of this play, as it relates to the Negro, is to discredit him, and create a hostile public sentiment towards him. Both by actual play belies the aspirations of the Negro, making it appear that the ultimate object of all his strivings is that thing which has received the characteristic designation: "Social Equality." Our people have received irreparably as a consequence what we have done in this respect and to have the tremendous influence of the moving picture show added to these newspapers in the dissemination of this insidious propaganda against our people, to unspeakable insult to imparable injury. (2) In these trying hours, when the newspaper needs the whole-hearted support of all its citizens, we believe it is extremely unwise, and unsafe to permit anything that is calculated to engender a division of spirit among our citizens. Negroes are hearing a good deal these days about their duty to the government in this crisis. Thank God! they are responding now as they've always done. Albeit they are responding, they are not unmindful of the ominous silence that reigns everywhere in officials circles when it comes to the matter of their rights. We are patient people, a fortnight of people we have suffered and we know it full well. Those who have caused our sufferings have, in far too many instances, gone unpunished and unreubuked. In spite of all this, America has no citizens more loyal; no defenders more willing to give their blood that are we. Will not the government, whose name we have helped to make glorious by our patriotic devotion, whose flag we have made red with the blood our heart in all the years of our history, is government, the power of liberty in France, the Belgium and the world—will not this government now speak through you for 12,000,000 of its citizens?

It will straighten the thickest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you need is a spoon on the knick and with a little combs the hair straight, not, to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Again after it has been straightened, Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. It makes the hair hardly believe their own like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like Kink-no-more or hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a veritable companion; it is perfectly harmless and will not scare the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out; positively removes dandruff; removes hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee that it will not be refunded. I will send to anyone one the receipt of $1.00 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one to another. I will register money order, postal money order or express money order.

A plea is being made to women to save fats, in which, many housewives are accused of extravagance and waste. The incident reads: they throw away drippings and fat sauce without the thought that these drops saved daily will soon form a pound. They pride themselves on saving better in cooking instead of being proud to use oil. The outcourt is pointed out that fats are commonly wasted. I by failing to get from the butter all the trimmings for which you have paid. The butter does not waste these, but it does add little value. Much good fat from beef and chicken is wasted in this way. 2. By failing to cook fat which is to be served with meat until it is so crisp and appetizing that it will not be wasted on the plate. 3. By failing to trim excess fat from the meat before it is cooked, and trying it out separately. Do not serve more fat with the meat than will be eaten. 4. By failing to keep the fat from burning during cooking. If burned it will be unappetizing and indigestible. 5. By failing to cook bacon in the oven instead of in a pan over the flame. If cooked in the oven the fat is more thoroughly tried out, it needs less care and there is less odor and smoke in the kitchen. 6. By failing to serve only as much butter at a meal as will be eaten. 7. By failing to use 'some butter substitute in place of butter in cooking. 8. By failing to use 'top milk, condensed milk or evaporated milk in place of cream whenever possible especially in coffee and cream. 9. By failing to buy 'b olive oil or its substitutes in large quantities; a small bottle is expensive. "10. By failing to make soap from the fats that cannot be utilized any longer for cooking purposes or as a food." "Some people hesitate to use oleomargarine and butter substitutes because they do not realize they are healthful and nutritious much better than a paste of butter. The following directions are given for the care of fat in the home and for making soap: "Fats of all kinds unless properly stored become soft and rancid. They should be kept covered in a cold dry place. Fats, keep longer if left unbroken. For this reason it is best to strain the clarified fats into several small jars instead of one large jar so that the mixture may be used without disturbing the yeast. "Fat that cannot longer be utilized as a food or in cooking should be made into soap." WOMEN'S RECREATION CENTRE IN GERMANTOWN Philadelphia, Pa—The Germantown Y. W. C. A.

The entertainment breathed patriotism from every pore, which was to be expected, and the program was of high order, which was not surprising in view of the reputations of the artists advertised to appear. What impressed me most was the presence of white and colored Americans, who have been thrown together by having interests in common and who have been brought to realize that what is good for one American is good for the other and what is bad for one American is likewise bad for the other. One year ago this community of interests was not so manifest between the races in this city. But today the old 15th New York Infantry, made up of colored men and white men, are in the trenches abroad fighting side by side for democracy; and their loved ones at home find themselves bound by a strong cord of sympathy which knows no color line. Mrs. Lorillard Spencer, wife of the Lieutenant Colonel of the 369th, vied with the mothers, wives and sisters of the colored men of the regiment in evincing her interest and loyalty for those "over there," and half of the boxes were occupied by white Americans. The program was rendered by white and colored artists, and the brand of entertainment was in the category of a high class musicale, jazz music and popular numbers being conspicuous by their absence. Harry T. Burleigh was given a big reception, and aside from "Danny Deever," which was sung with authority and made doubly effective by intelligent interpretation, this recognized artist delightfully entertained in two other numbers with a patriotic flavor. Melville Chattleton acted as accompanist. There is none better. Miss Elizabeth Tudor sang herself into the good graces of the audience before she had finished her first number. So carried away with her work were her hearers that they were insistent that she respond to an encore after she had rendered "My' Lovely Celia," "Blackbird Song" and "The Winds in the South To-day." Miss Tudor gave evidence of being a finished singer, and Tuesday evening she made many new friends. Mme. Marie Barrier Houston proved as much of an agreeable surprise to the white contingent as Miss Tudor did to the colored devotees of song. The local public is gradually beginning to awaken to the fact that in Mme. Houston we have a soprano soloist who is deserving of serious consideration, and I agree with her good pastor and most ardent champion, the Rev. W. P. Hayes, pastor of Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, that Mme. Houston's reputation as a vocalist is apt to grow in importance and dignity as time goes on. Miss Anna Katzenbach, in a monologue, pleased, while the singing of "Star. Spangled Banner" by the choir, boys of St. Philip's P. E. Church and signaphore signalling by the boy scouts of St. Mark's Catholic Church were among the other features of a varied and entertaining program. Miss S. Elizabeth Frazier, the moving spirit of the auxiliary, and SIXTH ANNUAL MUSICALE OF ST. MARK'S M. E. CHURCH CHOIR its president, was introduced by Miss McGregory Jones, Miss Frazier commented on stereopicon views showing the activities of the auxiliary, and the pictures and remarks made by Miss Frazier were liberally applauded. Maj. V. W. Tandy, of the 15th New York Battalion, accompanied by his staff, was present, and the uniforms of the State Guardsmen did much to create a military atmosphere. The 15th Battalion Band played selections during the concert and then proceeded to furnish ragtime selections for the dancers. To quote one enthusiastic dancer, "it was some music." Much credit is due Miss Henrietta Bowman and her committee for the success of Tuesday evening's musicale. FOLK SONG FESTIVAL GIVEN AT NEW ORLEANS FOLK SONG FESTIVAL GIVEN AT NEW ORLEANS NEW ORLEANS, La.—Two big affairs in a week's time in New Orleans is no little accomplishment for the colored people of the Crescent City. It usually takes a great deal more time than that. But Mine. E. Azalia Hackley has been here and through her prompting our people accomplished two notable things—one was the successful Negro Folk Song Festival, under the auspices of the Colored Y. M. C. A. Friday night, May 3, in the Dauphine Theatre, when a chorus of over two hundred voices sang Negro melodies better than they were ever sung here before. The other event was the brilliant pageant of nations for the benefit of the fund for a Negro Day Nursery on Thursday night, May 9, in Central Congregational church, when the program as arranged by Mme. Hackley was performed without a slip, though the actors of the parts were mainly young people. Both affairs were attended by a number of white people of high social standing as well as representative colored people. Both were artistic successes. Following is the program rendered at the folk song festival: PROGRAM. The Star Spangled Banner. Folk Songs—a) Let us Cheer the Weary Traveler.

GRANT RECITAL Before a capacity audience, made up of a large number of white friends of the participants, the pupils of A. Rudolph Grippan appeared at St. Mark's Hall, May 8, in a unique recital. With the exception of two pupils, all had reached the age of maturity before they had taken a lesson in voice culture. In other instances, those whose tone production had become impaired by bad methods, can now sing with ease. With the exception of two pupils none had studied over six months.

Thou wilt not fail us now when hellish deeds Seek in their lustful prey the harmless lives Of women and children for whom mercy pleads, Vainly to Prussia's god who lordly thrives, Beastly upon his prey in greed and lust. We will fight on until we shall have thrust Death's fatal sabre thro' his ruthless side; Commanding fate his destiny shall guide Him thro' the ominous realms of vale and dell, Where his Satanic sins shall rise pell-mell In maddening fury, an insurgent tide, To curse and hound him to the depths of hell. Thou wilt not fail us now for to this cause Of highest honor and most sacred trust, We give not in accordance to fixed laws; We offer all—naught would we feign to give, For Thou dost know, Oh God, our cause is just. We are being shaken in the world's great sieve, Of histry's reckoning: nations have been tried—Not all emerged as victors with the spoils From despot's chains of black intriguing coils; Yet some survived as weaklings; others died. Shall we march forth as victors brave and bold? Or shall we come as weaklings from the strife? Shall we write histry that when read or told Shall make America pulse with newer life? We will fight on until the victry's won, And heavy clouds made black by war shall flee Before the rising of a golden sun, Bringing glad greetings to a world that's free.
