Tom Lee, Negro Beatman On Mississippi River, Saves Thirty Lives When Beat Capsizes Sixteen Miles Below Memphis
Memphis, Tenn. — Tom Lee, a Negro boatman, operating a motor boat on the Mississippi river at Coahoma Landing, sixteen miles below Memphis, is being acclaimed as a hero, following his saving of thirty men and women from drowning when the government steamboat, the M. E. Norman, capsized and sunk on Friday, May 8, with more than twenty persons losing their lives.
Passengers on the boat were delegates to the Mid-South Association of Lovers, who had been on an out-landing in Low Island, and were returning to Memphis. The boat took a list just opposite Coahoma Landing and the captain, Howard T. Lee, attempted to take the boat to landing, but the current at that point extremely swift, and after two or three times, the boat called over, going immediately to the bottom.
T. Lee was in his moor boat, and reported that he was methodical as he went about the work during the passengers. Many of them had been thrown into the water as the boat capsized, and calmly proceeded to load as they into his boat as the could carry, and carried them.
Reversible Shirt Is Patented By Former Porter On Pullman Car
William Daniel Turner formerly of Washington, but now living at 219 Seventh avenue, has invented a reversible shirt which he guarantees to give at least twice the wear of an ordinary shirt. His shirt can be made in several different styles, but all have buttons in both front and back, and detached cuffs. Because of these features this shirt can be reversed when the front is worn out and when one side of the cuffs are fraysed.

Reversible Shirt Is Patented By Former Porter On Pullman Car
William Daniel Turner formerly of Washington, but now living at 2195 Seventh avenue, has invented a reversible shirt which he guarantees to give at least twice the wear of an ordinary shirt. His shirt can be made in several different styles, but all have buttons in both front and back, and detached cuffs. Because of these features this shirt can be reversed when the front is worn out and when one side of the cuffs are frayed they can be turned over.
Mr Turner says he got the idea for his invention while working as a Pullman porter. His shirts dawns wore out at the collar and sleeves long before they did elsewhere. He decided to stop this waste and made shirts for himself, long before he decided to apply for a patent. He made application on March, and is now offering his invention to local shirt manufacturers.

St. Patrick's BODY LAY IN STATE TWO DAYS AT ST. BENEDICT
Father Burke Directed Ali Catholic Missions Among Colored People In U. S.
More than 2000 colored Catholics were in attendance at the funeral of the late Monsignor John E Burke, director general of the Colored Catholic Missions of the United States and founder of the Church of St Benedict the Moor. The services were held at St Patrick's Cathedral on Monday, May 11, following a solemn pontificial mass. Bishop Hoban of Scranton, Pa., a chancellor of Monsignor Burke at Rome, celebrated the mass, with Monsignor Wall as assistant. The deacon, was Monsignor Chidwick and the subdeacon was Monsignor Hickey. Monsignor Thomas M O'Keefe the present pastor of St Benedict's Church, who had been associated with Monsignor Burke for 38 years, delivered the eulogy. In opening his discourse Monsignor O'Keefe mentioned the fact that Monsignor Burke's father was an officer in the Union Army during the Civil War and that his mother used her son, then an altar boy in St Ann's Church in 8th street, near 3rd avenue, as a messenger of charity to carry provisions to col-

The meeting at, which this denunciation took place, was held at the First Emmanuel Church, Rue Richelle and Marianne Bolden, parisher, Rew, Rew, Brown, pastor of Fleet Street Memorial A. M. E. Z. Chureb, was the chairman. The principal address of the occasion was delivered by Rev. Bolden, who announced as the subject of his speech: "The Minister of Lord, his duties and ideals" Iden said in part: "Impression is prevailing that leaders in the nations must new standard of Christian virtue to meet the spirit of the age of materialism and lawlessness. Many outstanding leaders are attempting to formulate such programs as they think will meet the needs of the time, by attracting followers to their religious denominations and societies. The claim is made by this class of leaders that when such races and groups are brought together, having common social interests, that there can be brought to hear upon their minds, helpful Christian influences. This claim we do not deny; but we are asking the questions: "What is meant by Christian influences?" "Where does this influence lead?" and "Into whom does it center."
Y. M. C. A Is Demoralizing
"The modern idea of the gospel as a social cult for a few pretended intellects or a domoralizing social uplift agency, such as is seen in some Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations and some religious denominations who stress all kinds of attractions paraphernalia, festivals, domoralizing activities and degenerating dances, is misleading, erroneous and unrightful. There may be certain values, but I am sure that they do not represent the Ideal Man, Jesus Christ, our Lord, nor His Apostles. It is the truth that shall set men free, not a he that is substituted for the truth; not a mathematical or scientific truth; but the truth that sanctifies men, God's word,

Washington Leader,
Dead After Short Illness
Washington, D. C. —Mrs. Bette Francis, widow of the late Dr. John R. Francis, died here Monday after a brief illness. She is survived by five children, all of whom were at the bedside of their mother. Mrs Francis was the first colored woman to be named to the Board of Education, and she was prominently identified with many movements in interest of the race.
Charles Godfrey, one of the most competent and popular colored police officers attached to the 16th Precinct, West 135th street station, is dead from shots fired by Charles Kehr, a white officer attached to the same station.
An unidentified colored man is dead, also, and Gillian Fuller, of 29 East 181st street, a Police Reservist of the 16th Precinct, and Mrs. Maude Neoby of 57 West 140th street, are in the Harlem Hospital in serious conditions, from wounds received Tuesday night, shortly after 10 o'clock, when more than a score of pistol shots were fired by the police officers, the reservist and other men during a fracas at Lenox avenue and 137th street.
The most reliable report available indicates that Fuller and his wife were returning home from a theatre, when Mrs. Fuller was jostled by one of a group of men, none of whose identities have been discovered. Fuller resented the discourtesy shown his wife, but continued with her on down the street.

The accounts vary, but it appears that when Fuller and his wife neared 137th street the couple were attacked by the jostler and four companions, two of them having revolvers. Fuller drew his gun and fired, the bullet piercing the man's heart, killing him instantly.
Policeman Godfrey, who was in civilian clothes, was passing and Fuller saw him. The regervist called Godfrey to his assistance and the two pursued the other assailants, who had fled. In the meantime, Policeman Kehr, who was in a police flivver with Patrolman James Nolan, both of the West 135th street station, heard the shots and drove through 137th street to the scene of the affray.
Kehr's version of the matter is that he saw the two men with guns in their hands, but that he did not recognize either of them as officers. He says he shouted a command to them to halt and that when they did not obey, he fired.
Last Shot Killed Godfrey.
that Fuller had been wounded previously by shots fired to the evidence tends to show that Godfrey fell just as the neoboy, 25 years old was hit by a stray bullet, sustaining the left breast. Fuller, who is 38, was wounded in the eye, who was 25, was shot through the back. This is taken after Kehr did not wait to overtake the men, but that he lately or through excitement, while still in their rear case, it does not bear out his statement that he ordered only fired when they failed to obey his command.

It is believed that Fuller had been wounded previously by shots fired by his assailants, but the evidence tends to show that Godfrey fell just as the last shot was fired.
Mrs Maude Neoby, 25 years old was hit by a stray bullet, sustaining a serious wound in the left breast. Fuller, who is 38, was wounded in the breast while Godfrey, who was 25, was shot through the back. This is taken to indicate that Officer Kehr did not wait to overtake the men, but that he fired, either deliberately or through excitement, while still in their rear.
This being the case, it does not bear out his statement that he ordered them to halt, and only fired when they failed to obey his command. It is the freely expressed opinion of onlookers that Kehr who was 160 precipitate, and it is charged in this connection that white police officers attached to the 10th Precinct are entirely too quick in shooting to kill when their prey is a Negro.

Fuller and Mrs. Neoh are in Harlem Hospital, and on Wednesday morning their condition was very serious. Fuller is not expected to live, but it is believed Mrs. Neoh will pull through.
Officer Godfrey had been a member of the New York Police Department for a year and five months, and had made a splendid record.

Former Practice Of Allowing Days Of Grace To Beginning Of Succeeding Month Will Be Discontinued, and Hooch Joints Will Be Closed As Soon As Order Issues
Heretofore, when padlock orders have been issued by Judge Knox in the Federal Court, he has made them effective from the beginning of the next month following the issue of the decree, but he announced on Monday, May 11, that hereafter all padlock injunctions would be made effective from the day of issue. That means that boot-leggers against whom closing orders are obtained by the United States Attorney will be given no grace at all, but
forced to close immediately.
Some of the bootleggers, anticipating this action, are making provision to meet the contingency by leasing other quarters so that when closed out in their present locations they can simply shift location and continue doing business. This, of course, will be only a temporary condition, for the injunction carries with it a personal bar to the individuals mentioned engaging in the contraband handling of liquor anywhere in the United States, and the legal forces will ultimately take care of the new situation.
The hooch joint formerly operated at the northwest corner of 134th street and Seventh avenue, now in the Federal Court facing a padlock injunction, has anticipated the court action by being removed from that site to a new location at 2288 Seventh avenue, in the middle of the block between 134th and 135th streets. Padlock injunction has been issued against the joint at 2217 Seventh avenue, corner of 131st street, in the 1-lavette building
In-the meantime, various new places are being opened. One is located at the southwest corner of 129th street and Seventh avenue, and another is at the northwest corner of 142nd street and Seventh avenue. Both are fitted up with an appearance of expiring a long tenure of business life and both carry the familiar sight of a "lookout" sitting up in the window casting an eye upon preaching clients for the purpose of identifying those who may safely be admitted.

POLICE OFFICER CHARLES GODFREY SHOT TO DEATH BY WHITE OFFICER
(Continued from First Page)
by Sylvester Clark 21 years old, of 31 West 129th street, who had evidently followed her. After handling her roughly, Clark seized Moore's pocket book and ran up the stairs. Cries of Mrs Moore and others attracted Officer Godfrey and he ran into the hall, following the robber to the roof. Clark led him a puffy chase, finally doubling back down stairs and finally seeking rings in a coal bin in the cellar. Here Godfrey ran the man to earth, but he only succeeded in putting Clark under arrest after a hard fight, during which the officer's hand was bitten by the fugitive. All of the money was found on the man's person.
Dead In Five Minutes
After being shot by Officer Keir the body of Officer Godfrey was taken to Harlem Hospital along with Fuller and Mrs. Neoby, and an examination was made by Dr. Weintrauh. Godfrey was shot at 10:25 p.m. and the doctor announced hurt dead at 10:30.
A peculiar incident in connection with the body of the unidentified man, which has not been cleared up, is that immediately after he was shot, with the body laying on the pavement in front of 472 Lenox avenue, an unknown woman hailed a taxicab and ordered the chaffeur to take the body to 220 West 140th street, but inquiries at that number by newspaper men and members of the Police Department fail to disclose anything that leads to disclosing the identity either of the killed man or of the woman who called the taxicab.
Mr. Godfrey was not at home at the time of the occurrence being in attendance at the meeting of an organization to which she belongs, and a special messenger was sent to bring her home. Final funeral arrangements are held up pending arrival of the mother and sisters from Richmond, but from the W David Brown Understanding Institute which has charge of the body it was learned that the funeral will be on Sunday May 17.

Georgia Odd Fellows, Led By B. J. Davis, Said To Be In Bad Way-Reports Are That Many Policies Are Unpaid
Atlanta, Ga. It is reported that scores of death claims held by beneficiaries of dead men and women who were members of the Odd Fellows District Grand Lodge of which Benjamin J. Davis is the grand secretary, are unpaid and attempts to collect them are being referred to the receiver recently appointed by the court, who is said to be in charge of all affairs of the Davis branch of the Order.
A concrete case is that of Mrs. George W. Hodges, now of New York City, but formerly a resident of Atlanta, whose mother was a member of the Order at time of her death. The younger Mrs. Hodges made formal surrender of the policy on her mother's life to District Grand Secretary Davis during July, 1924, but had received no reply. Last week, a personal representative in Atlanta called on Mr. Davis, and made inquiry concerning the death benefit due on the life of Benjamin J. Davis, told that the matter was out of the secretary's hands and would have to be taken up with the receiver.
L. Collier. It is this faction which has succeeded in tying up the affairs of the Davis branch.
It is reported that the Odd Fellows' Building on Auburn avenue erected some years ago, is heavily mortgaged and is cut of the Order's control. One allegation is that the defunct Standard Life Insurance Co. first held these mortgages and thus gained control of the building, and then the pages of the insurance company 'the building has gone the same way.
Another report is that the claims held by beneficiaries, which are unpaid, aggregate considerably more
The Davis faction of the order, known as the "Georgia Corporation," has been fought by the national order through the management, which is represented in Georgia by Anthony Graves, R. E.

Saturday Bishop P. A. Wallace delivered the "Episcopal address. After speaking in a complimentary manner of the local work and the General Conference, he touched on vital themes. He said, "The church of Jesus Christ must always stand against crime of lawlessness that respect law and order is breaking down in America. We are fast becoming a lawless nation. Crimes of violence, bootlegging and other forms of lawlessness are rampant among us, while the barricade practice of lynching and burning at the stake goes merrily on. It seems to me to be a force for America to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to send missourians to far away lands to preach the gospel with the religion of Nazareth until we first learn to live and practice it among ourselves. America has no religion to export until she makes a better showing in practicing there at home. The nations are confused and distressed "They are grouping blindly in the dark, trying every experiment trying to injure the sunshine from the grave and prosperity "There is my brethren, only one way out and that is in Christ, the Man of Galilee."
Bishop Wallace referred to the Dyer-Autia Lynching Bill, the migration of Negroes from the south, and the Inter-racial Commissions, "which are doing a splendid service by creating an atmosphere of sympathy and understanding between the better element of both races"

It is reported that the Odd Fellow's Building on 'Auburn avenue erected some years ago, is heavily mortgaged and is cut of the Order's control. One aim of the Trusted Life Insurance Co. first held these mortgages and thus gained control of the building, and that with the passing into white control of the insurance company 'the building has gone the same way. Another report states that the claims paid, storefront liabilities, which are unpaid, aggregate considerably more than the actual assets of the Davis Grand Lodge, and that the receiver is telling all who apply to hm for information that he can do nothing at all. The trustees have to wait until funds are made available through collections.
Negro Literature To Be Preserved In New Dept. Opened In N. Y. Library
Dr. Hubert H. Harrison stirred up a "hornsite" nest" when, in delivering the main address at opening of the new Department of Negro Literature, now installed at the West 133th street branch of the New York Public Library, the department was due to the support furnished by West Indians. He declared that with the exception of certain books loaned by George Young, who formerly conducted a book store at 135 West 135th street, all the books loaned to the library for this department were from the libraries of Arthur Schonberg, Dr. Charles Farrant, Johnsonberg, Church, and Dr. Harrison himself.
Some of the interested individuals present decreed this reference as an attempt to stir prejudice, but Dr Harrison, questioned later, denied any such intention. He said that it was simply a statement of fact, which was undesirable, and that his referring to it was for the purpose of setting the record straight and to give credit to the men mainly responsible for the carrying out of a plan which means the permanent preservation of literary historical records of the Negro race. In his address, Dr Harrison spoke of the need for knowledge of the Negro's historical background, and told something of other such records for the preservation and use of such records, making special reference to the liaison established by Father O'Keefe in the Church of St Benedict the Moor, West Std street.
Alan Leroy Locke of Howard University was also a speaker, tracing some of the historical backgrounds of the movement to perpetuate race history. Mr Locke also presented a cup to Paul Kellog, editor of the Survey-Graphic, as a token of appreciation from contributors to the recent special Harlem number of that publication, and from Harlem citizens. The cup was inscribed "To Paul U Kellog, and Staff Associates, in Grateful Recognition of Public Service." Miss Finstine Rose branch librarian in charge of the West 135th street branch, spoke briefly of efforts put forth to secure for the Harlem branch library a university department as this one literature and history, and of plants being formulated to make it useful to the entire community.
Freddim F. Hopper, chief of the Circulation Department of the New York Public Library, 42nd street and Fifth avenue, represented the library administration, emphasizing the Library's interest in all matters pertaining to preserve racial culture, that of the Negro in the New York Public Library administration would give fullest support to plans for development of the Department of Negro Literature.
Arthur A. Schenumberg, president of the Negro Literary and Historical Society, presided at this meting, and total program was given by W. W. Weekes, one of the members of which was his playing of Coleridge-Taylor's transcription for the piano. "Thatata

Colored Women Appear Before the Board of Estimate Rent Hearing
Representatives of the colored Women's Police Reserves, the Harlem Community Council and the Urban League appraised before the Board, of Estimates of the City of New York in the City Hall Tuesday morning, May 12, at 10 a.m., at a meeting the Mayor had granted the citizens and various organization that had criticism to make of the present administration or suggestions to make for the improvement of the city government.
The Commissioner of Accounts presided. Mayor John F. Hylan opened the meeting and after the reading of a resolution proposing a new amendment of the city charter addressed the meeting and said in substance that he was in favor of anything that was for the common good of the citizens of New York, regardless as to what party, organization or group of citizens promoted it. If any one had a complaint or a suggestion to make that was for theatterment and upbuilding of the city government they should present it to the Board of Estimates, and they would back it up. He said further that he knew that there were profitering landlords, profitering corporations, and others who exceeded their rights and that he wanted suggestions from citizens. He said also that he did not care about opposition and would support anything that was constructive and beneficial to the people of New York. A general people spoke among whom was a spokesman for the City, Club, who pointed out several public offices and departments of the city that could be recognized.
One speaker suggested that the Controller possessed too much power under existing laws and also proposed changing the name of the Tenement House Department to House Renting Department. He suggested that the Health Department being confined to pretention and suppression of epidemics, it be combined with the Tenement House Department. He also stated that the Tenement House Department did not have a force sufficient in number to carry on its work properly. He said that when a complaint is made to department fully two clauses before an inspector comes around and that the same is the case in the Health De-
Another speaker thought that there was no need for one man to situate a building to inspect the wall paper or the kitchen sink, and another sent to the same house to see if there was a "24-hour" condition that the inspector could be able to such work, who could go from cellar to attic. He met the sys-

By Dr. B. S. HERBEN
Of the New York Tuberculosis Association
In Real Life
This is a true story of a mother's desire for her child, a 'woman's vanity and the present problem which she faces.
Some time ago a certain family moved to a smaller city in this state. One of the children was a handsome girl of high school age. Being ambitious to get into her chosen work she entered high school at once.
The city in which they had chosen to live required that all attending school should be vaccinated against smallpox, unless a doctor that conditions were such as to make it unwise for a child to have the vac-
The beautiful child was taken by the mother to a physician who was asked to give the certificate the girl from carriage had ugly vestments. The doctor being honest said, there was no reason for excusing her from the requirement.

HE said he could not host one of the certificate one was provide the certificate he was willing to accede to the request and the child's certificates was accepted by the school authorities and she finished her course, went to college, took a teaching course, another course without the safes from smallbox.
Not long ago an epidemic of smallpox descended upon the city in which the beautiful young woman lived at teachers, among others, were able that vaccination was imperative and those who had to have it would need to resign from their responsible positions. Our "hernine" refused to have the vaccination for she had acquired her mother's opinion regarding the "pity to have a scar mar her perfect beauty. Shortly thereafter she developed smallpox. The smallpox scars over her face, as well as the rest of her body. It is not certain at present that she will ever rid her skin of these disfiguring things. Smallpox vaccination scar can be put, within limits, where the wearer wishes, and in these days vaccination should leave little or no mark. Smallpox, the disease, puts its scars wherever it listens and they are not easily eradicated.

"The minister of our Lord should not compromise with evil factors in the nation, in his city, in his community in his established church, home and in his own private life. The spirit of lawmen, the conscience and apostasy throughout the world, and its effects are felt in our private local environment the compromising attitude of professed followers of our Lord strengthens and encourages such conditions, bootlegging, hold prostitution, gambling, cabarres, dens of desire, pool rooms, dance, the presence of degeneracy in Harlem, it is said, some reigns us leaders drunk, the shoppers, and encourages dancing and prostitution. This cannot be true of the preachers of Christ.

Dr. Cullen Denounces "Y"
After Rev Bolden's speech was delivered, the Chairman called for comments. He gave five minutes each to Rev A. C Garner Rev A B Vincent, Rev G M Olivec and Rev F A Cullin. The latter in his comments besides denunciing the Young Men's Christian Association as unchristian and failing to foster an endorse Christian ideals, also proclaimed the Orders of St Luke and St John as disregards the role of the men after whom the orders were named, a speaking of the saxon other places of vice Rev Cullin characterized them as being "Hell holes of God."
Rey Henry W. Morrison, in further, discussing the question stated that the transactions of the Order of St. Luke were not in keeping with the ideals of Christ. He said that nothing, however, aside he gained by knocking the soldier from on his knees, the soldier included his statements, he saving that he thought it to be the duty of the monsters to get into the orders head them and to make them better. He Bolden in his response to the comments of the various preachers stated that in the Order of St. Luke and condemned the dance hall peep out of the order. He added that the hall run by the Imperial Ekkord was decrime and dem趴ing in its influence. He reiterated his assertions about both guilt and said that the holiness of this man was compromised by the violence of the wives.

Pertinent Comment
On Saturday afternoon, member of the Women's Auxiliary to the N. A. A. C. P. combined business and pleasure with a luncheon coupled with an annual election of officers, at Palace Garden, 140th street and 97th street. There were some eighty women present, and masculine dignity was contributed by five men, among them being Walter F. White of the N. A. A. C. P. staff, who confided, aside, that heaven, to his way of thinking; care where there will be, no speeches. He informed the group of the counting Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. to meet in Denver, Colorado, in June, and that special train accommodations are now being arranged for all persons attending to attend. Wedding Joan have a word of greeting. Clarence T. Tisland captured the ladies with several pleasingly sung selections.
Mrs. Rosahie McClendon was chartwoman for the occasion. Miss Inez Richardson presided during the election of the following officers: Mrs. Bessie O. Miller, president; Mrs. Rosemary L. Lievice-president, Mrs. Rosahie McClendon 2nd vice-president; Mrs. Bessie Tomkinson, recording secretary; Miss R. G. Randolph, executive secretary and Mrs. Grace Naul, treasurer. Some of the members present were Mrs. Ida Hilton, Mrs. Jas. W. Johnson, Mrs. Bert Williams, Mrs. Sol Johnson, Mrs. Amanda Kemp, Mrs. Luceil Miller, Mrs W. F. B. DuBois, Mrs. E. Parks, Mrs. Saddle Stockton, Mrs. E. Parks, Mrs. Saddle Stockton, Mrs. Grant, Mrs. Grace Naul, Mrs. Bunge Dismond, Mrs. Mary Lane Rosa, Miss Sterrett, connected with the base hospital at Tuskegee, etc.
The colored women of New York are proud of Miss Hallie O. Brown, who fittingly resented the discrimination put upon Negroes at the quinternal session of the International Council of Women recently held in Washington, D.C., when she influenced some two hundred singers scheduled on the program to march out in silence.
"But I Love Her"
"She is selfish and spoiled," cried his sensible brain.
"Perhaps," said his heart, "but I love her."
"You're a fool!" said his brain. "She is playing a game,
There's a look in your eyes that she
feels she must tame
You are just one more moth to be
burned by the flame"
"I know," said his heart, "but I
love her"
'And you know if you put her
adjection to test'
Said his brain, "you'd find out what
already you've guessed—
That she'd say with a smile, "You are
just like the rest."
Beauty Hints
By Madam Le Blanc
The girl with a blotchy skin would be greatly benefited by taking the juice of a lemon squeezed into a glass of hot water. Fruit acids are almost mageral in their effects upon the complexion, of taken properly. When the skin begins to look sallow and thick with red spots here and there take one teaspoonful of phosphate one teaspoonful of hot water every morning before breakfast. Continue until skin clears again.
Olive oil taken internally is nourishme and fattening. The best way to take it is with your food. Use it as a dressing on salads with lemon juice in place of vinegar. It is often used on spaghetti bread and beans and for cooks. Or you can learn to take just the oil mixed with orange or lemon juice.
A little soda water will relieve sick headache caused by indigestion.
Food Economies
It is just as important to know what foods to avoid as to know what to choose.
It is not economical to buy prepared food, such as corned beef, smoked beef, tomato and similar foods usually sold in a delicatessen store.
Cocoa, it is easily prepared and a most nourishing drink. Tea and coffee are not nourishing and do not help the body, besides they make most people nervous.
VEGETABLES
Watch the market and you will always pick up for a few cents a vegetable in season.
Vegetables are valuable as they keep the digestive apparatus in good order, they also supply the body with important mineral salts.
Smooth, carrots, turnips, lettuce, peas, string beans are all very good and can be had at reasonable prices.
FRUITS
Fruit is a valuable article of food it helps the action of the bowels and supplies important mineral salts needed by the body. Never eat fruit without first washing it, it contains the digestive enzymes. Be fruit in season, when it is cheap. Let the children have fresh fruit in place of candy.

SAVE LINCOLN HOSPITAL
There are several reasons why the Lincoln Hospital should not be permitted to go out of existence at the close of this year, as was announced in last week's issue of The Age. One of the strongest of these reasons is the need for its ambulance and hospital service to serve suffering humanity in the Borough of the Bronx. Its closing would leave half of that territory without ambulance service. The people of the Bronx recognize this fact and are making a strong effort to move the city authorities to take over the hospital plant for city use.
The other reason why the hospital should be perpetuated is to preserve the training school for nurses as a going institution. This school was established to give a three years course in training to young colored women, and it has turned out many classes of competent trained nurses since it has been in existence. Over one hundred student nurses are now in attendance and its closing would be a serious loss to them in the interruption it would cause to their course of training.
The members of our group in this city should join in the effort to secure a reversal of the decision of the city authorities in their refusal to take over this institution. Sign the coupon printed in another part of this paper and mail it to the Mayor, so as to know the strength of local sentiment in favor of the preservation of this institution.

RACIAL WEAKNESSES
From time to time The Age has felt it a part of its mission to touch upon certain weaknesses that have retarded the advancement of the Negro as a group, either economically, educationally or in some other vital respect. While this task has not always been a pleasing one, it was one that had to be performed as part of our duty toward our leaders, and we have not hesitated in essaying it, without fear and without favor. When it seemed that the racial ministry was failing to rise to the full measure of the opportunities before it, attention was directed to the need of a greater devotion to the welfare of the community. When the usefulness of a great beneficial organization like the Young Men's Christian Association stood in danger because of the retention of an executive who had lost his usefulness, we protested and still protest against the others at the central board of directors that adhered the morale of the Harlem branch to satisfy their pride of opinion. Having these things in mind, we were encouraged to find in the May issue of the Crisis an announcement of a change of policy which included as one of its features "Self-criticism" On this subject the editor said.
The Crisis is not to be more frankly critical of the Negro group. In our fight for the sheer counts of decent treatment we have become habitated to regarding ourselves as always right and resulting criticism from whites and blacks and opportunely crippling Negro art and literature by refusing to contemplate any but handsome herbs, unblemished heroes and flawless defenders, we insist on being always and everywhere all right and often we run our cause by chlamys too much and admitting no fault. Here the Crisis has sinned with its group and in its purposes hereafter to examine from time to time the serious faults among us both those common to mankind and those born of our extraordinary histories and experiences.

The Great Society is to be more frankly critical of the Negro group. In our fight for the sheer numbers of decent treatment we have become habitated to regarding ourselves as always right and resisting criticism from whites and fortunately opposing self-criticism from within. We are seriously crippling Negro art and literature by refusing to contemplate any but handsome heroes, unblemished heroes and flawless defenders, we insist on being always and everywhere all right and often we run our cause by clamming too much and admitting no fault. Here the Great Society will examine from time to time the extraordinary number of serious faults among us both those communities mankind and those born of our extraordinary history and experience. This does not mean that we propose for a single issue to cease playing the ladder to the Bourbon South and the Copperhead North to imperialism, Jimmybusters and fraudulent Science to race hate and human degradation.
And none can play the gadfly to better purpose than the caustic and brilliant editor of the Crisis. We welcome this plan of self-riticism as a necessary corrective for some of the errors, both of commission and omission, that are to be noted in various departments of racial activity. While the Crisis seems to feel the pressing need of this sort of criticism in the departments of art and literature; we are more inclined to emphasize its necessity in the economic field. There is need for a greater face solidarity in the support of our business enterprises. More of these ventures die for
And more can play the gadfly to better purpose than the caustic and brilliant editor of the Crisis. We welcome this plan of self-criticism as a necessary corrective for some of the errors, both of commission and omission, that are to be noted in various departments of racial activity.
While the Crisis seem to feel the pressing need of this out of criticism in the departments of art and literature, we are more inclined to emphasize its necessity in the economic field. There is need for a greater race solidarity in the support of our business enterprises. More of these ventures die for the lack of racial support than for any other reason. While the colored doctors expect and count upon the support of colored patients, there is complaint that a certain number of them ignore the existence of colored druggists. Tradesmen in other lines feel that both doctors and druggists could throw more business in their various enterprises.
It is used commentary on the lack of such economic cooperation when it is stated that the bulk of the printing required for all these trades and professions in Harlem is done by white printers.
Let us look into these causes for criticism and see if something cannot be done to remedy the existing conditions. The development of business within the group not only works to the advantage of the individual doing business, but it opens up opportunities for the employment of members of the race in larger numbers.
Self-criticism with this constructive end in view is worth trying.
WHERE CIVIL SERVICE PAILS
WHERE-CIVIL SERVICE-FAILS
The introduction of civil service reform into the selection of government employees was intended to do away with the evils of the spoils system and to ensure a competent corps of workers, appointed without regard to their partisan affiliations, but solely on account of merit. It was also intended to prevent discrimination on the part of the appointing officers on account of race, creed or color. While considerable has been accomplished in securing more competent government employees through the system of competitive examinations, civil service reform has failed to prevent discrimination on account of color in the selection of those appointed.
The introduction of civil service reform into the selection of government employees was intended to do away with the evils of the spoils system and to ensure a competent corps of workers, appointed without regard to their partisan affiliations, but solely on account of merit. It was also intended to prevent discrimination on the part of the appointing officers on account of race, gender, color. While considerable has been accomplished in securing more competent government employees through the system competitive examinations, civil service reform has failed to prevent discrimination on account of color in the selection of those appointed.
A striking example of this discrimination was afforded in the case of a young color woman, a resident of Brooklyn, who successfully passed the examination for stenegrophile and typist last September, with a rating just below 90, and whose standing on the Civil Service register was given as No. 7 on the senior list and No. 23 on the Junior list. She stated her readiness to accept the lowest stance salary and was duly certified for appointment, but was invariably rejected after calling upon the officers having the power to appoint.
She has been certified twice to the Navy supply depot at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to the War Department and to the Veterans' Hospital and twice to the Prosecution office, no notice having been received in response to the second certification. This candidate appears to have been given a fair deal by the Civil Service Commission in the matter of examination and certification to her fitness for employment by the Federal government, but the hitch in appointment is due to the reluctance of the heads of the departments requiring her services.
The reason for this is obvious. Too many federal officials possessing the power to take appointments are liable to shy at the appearance of a candidate with a dark complexion. All questions of capability and fitness for the position are forgotten in the prejudice engendered on account of a difference of race or color. Dean Kelly Mille Howard University had the idea that this difficulty would be surmounted by doing away with the use of photographs submitted with applications for appointment. We do not think that the omission of the photograph would have had any effect in a case of this.
Here is a candidate duly qualified and certified by the Civil Service Commission to serve the government as stenographer and artist, but every head of department to whom he is certified refuses to appoint her. His eligibility for appointment last for one year, which will expire next December. The event object of those who have the power to appoint her is to defer such appointment until her name is automatically dropped from the list. As she asks in her letter to the Editor of The Age, "If one is thus continually certified after having passed with no mean percentage and repeatedly rejected truthlessly, wherein lies hope of ultimate appointment unless strong pressure is brought bear."
The only remedy that we can see for the merit violation of the spirit, if not the letter to the Civil Service law, is the exercise of executive power by the head of the Federal government in making all Federal officials up to the spirit of civil service reform. This spirit is violated too often, both in the departments at Washington and in Federal offices throughout the country. President McKinley would strike a blow for real civil service reform if he would require all Federal officials to make no discriminations in appointments or promotions on account of race or color. The continuance of this vicious practice is doing much to descredit Republican office.

A HERO OF THE MISSISSIPPI.
Associated Press dispatches from Memphis, Tenn., brought the news of the sinking of the Government steamboats Norman and the Mississippi River, last Saturday. The gamer carried delegates of the Mid-South association of Engineers and when it caped over twenty persons were drowned in the dispatch stated that, "but for the hero on Tom Lee, a Negro, whose motorboat carried to safety many of the sixty, passen-ers, the survivors said that the death his right have been greater." His part in the issue was told as follows:
Associated Press dispatches from Memphis, Tenn., brought the news of the sinking of the Government steamboat Norman on the Mississippi River, last Saturday. The steamer carried delegates of the Mid-South Association of Engineers and when it capsized over twenty persons were drowned. One dispatch stated that, "but for the heroism of Tom Lee, a Negro, whose motorboat carried to safety many of the sixty passengers, the survivors said that the death list might have been greater." His part in the rescue was told as follows.
The hero of the disaster, Tom Lee, was meth-
gator thirtyour years.
Another account said that, but for this Negro boatman, "virtually all of the persons on board the boat would have perished, survivors were unanimous in saying. He first rescued the women and then turned to the men, going about his task coolly. How many he pulled out and carried to safety on a sand bar, where they found refuge in a Negro cabin, none could say."
This Negro boatman by his sober and methodical operations proved that his race possessed all the attributes of humanity and devotion to duty that any race of people could exhibit. Despite the fact that he belonged to an oppressed and downtrodden people in the section where this catastrophe happened, he rose superior to his environment and demonstrated the qualities of manhood which could not be stamped out by years of denial of his rights as a human being. Will the action of this black hero change the estimate of the Negro race so blatantly indulged in by the average white Southerner?
WOMEN AS PEACEMAKERS
The editor of the New York American does not appear to have much confidence in the ability of the women's organizations to function in the role of international peacemakers, and cited the example of the International Council of Women, which recently met at Washington. It showed that this organization while clamoring vociferously for world peace and urging the participation of the United States in the World Court and the League of Nations, was torn from end to end by internal dissensions. It cified some of these:

It showed that this organization while clamoring vociferously for world peace and urging the participation of the United States in the World Court and the League of Nations, was torn from end to end by internal dissensions. It cited some of these:
In the first place the President and Mrs. Condidge, ever desirous to be hospitable, extended invitations to tea. These invitations, it seems, were greatly exceeded by the number of ladies who desired to receive them.
Some of the ladies liked tea while others despised it, but were anxious to drink it at the White House. Naturally it was impossible to serve more than a few of the multitude, and as more of the delegates were divided into rater groups.
Then came amble with the Negro guests. These were segregated on the convention floor and this resulted in heated dissension, the chorus of Negro singers walking out of the program and the colored organization threatening to leave the international organization. It is all but another reminder of the anomalous situation which arises when the well-meaning but misguided hosts assemble to plant the international homosexual over all boundary lines. Unless the chances for pacifying the world are brighter than the chances of pacifying the peace-makers, we would appear to be in for a period of trouble.
The sarcastic editor of the American would probably insinuate to the feminine peacemakers that peace should begin at home. But that would involve the sacrifice the social honors of entertainment, at the White House and the recognition of the colored women delegates and visitors on a basis of equality. That is a great deal to expect of the most devoted international peacemakers, especially if they come from below Mason and Dixon's line. A good deal of peace talk indulged in by both feminine and masculine pacifists is mere bunk. A more remarkable innovation was the use by the American writer of Negro as an objective derived from a proper noun, spelled with a capital "N". Truly, the rules of English grammar are winning recognition among the editors of New York dailies. Mr Munley should take notice.

Among the many projects planned for the relief of human ails, on a scale worthy of the greatest city in the country, is the construction of a Medical Center for New York City. The first building of the group as planned, which is now under construction, is to be occupied jointly by the Presbyterian Hospital and Columbia University School of Medicine. This building will cost ten million dollars, of which the university's share of three millions has been made available. Presbyterian Hospital before starting its campaign for funds, secured from various sources two and a half million dollars toward the seven millions which its section will cost.
In the outline of its plans, it is stated that "for fifty-two years the Presbyterian Hospital has served all, without regard to race, creed or color." This is a remarkable record for an institution of this class, even in New York, where so many church institutions have shown the cold shoulder to colored patients, and even advised them to seek the institutions maintained by the city. This statement is emphasized by the portraits at the head of a circular issued in behalf of the hospital, the one to the right showing a little black child in his hospital cot.
An appeal is now being made to the general public for funds to aid in starting this medical center, which is deserving of a generous response from all classes of the community. It is argued that the removal of this hospital to the new site on the Hudson will be in the interest of economy, as the present buildings at Madison avenue and Seventieth street are over thirty years old and have been outgrown as well as outworn.

The California Eagle, in a flight of enthusiasm, let forth the following scream:
The legislature of California has passed the old age pension bill which is another incentive to live longer in the State of gashine and flowers.
According to this sentiment, a new crop of centenarians may be lobbied for, in the Golden State. If we remember rightly, Germany was the pioneer in encouraging longevity by the grant of state aid for the support of those reaching a certain age. It will be interesting to note the result of this experiment in California, both as it affects the beneficiaries and the taxpayers.
According to the Western Outlook of Oakland, Calif., the race group in that city "is on the map." It said:
There has been a notable increase in the population in the last year. This is shown by the larger church attendance and at the social affairs. It seems that the agitation of the Western Addition Improvement Association has been a blessing in disguised, for instead of segregating the Negro, it has brought about more of a community spirit and many have and are acquiring property, realizing that possession will give them real standing in the community. Another factor is securing ambitious efforts being made to do so. The heart of this district we notice a new restaurant has been opened, which is featuring Southern cooking, which is quite a fad now. We are holding our own in the employment market but if proper efforts were put forth and dependable help secured, we believe more of our faces could be seen in gainful pursuits.
This is an encouraging indication of racial progress in the way of securing employment and acquiring property. Economic development along these lines is essential to building up the race on a

Thursday morning, April 30, Dr. Matthew Inductor in office as President of Clark University. We Americans are so extravagant in the use of words and so many events are described as epoch making in their influence that when one says now that this or that occasion marks an epoch or new era, no one gets a thrill or an unusual sensation. We are by the nature of our advice to others. Fresh from an American lynching we would advise other nations how to treat their subjects and citizens. Because of this tendency of careless use of words and realizing that it would carry little significance for us to say that the inauguration of Dr. Daxage marks an epoch, Clark University, we shall not use that phrase to describe the significance of that history making event.
Dr Davaye is not the first president Clark has had, nor is he the first member of our group to occupy that position of trust and responsibility. Dr Davaye, as we have observed, is a teacher or college president. His vision is more socialized, his attitude more democratic and he seems less dogmatic and more open-minded than the average school master or administrator. Because of the past experience that he has had in correspondence positions in connection with the school he was as result of his seasoned experiences in dealing with the rushing and mistaken marching south of our time we predict for him a successful administration and for Clark University a rapid step forward in the educational life of our people and the nation with a pace that will bring her more nearly abrasive to the leading institute of this country.
Back of Dr. Davage stands a loyal Alumni Association, many of whose members have achieved distinction in their lines of endeavor. The sentiment of the local group of men and women was expressed by Mr. James Crogman Arnold who was selected as the spokesman to hear greetings from the financial ceremony of the financial ceremony. Through him the Alumni not only pledge their moral support but grace definite promise of financial backing. At no time in the history of Clark has there been more cordial relationship existing among the trustees, faculty, president, alumnus as cation and student body than now. To the experimental mouth of Dr. Bauer he adds as President just formal mangeration that has been a wonderful neutralizer of the creewdish inharmonious element and an al abter of all left motion. He is thus fortunate in beginning his formal administration under the most pleasant and agreeable circumstances. We as therefore to the friends of Negro education and ennumer too for that matter, keep your eyes on

The launching of a new insurance company in Newark brought out the endouraging comment from the Chicago White, that the East is catching up. It said:
This new company has raised its required capital of $100,000 and deposited it with the Secretary, of State of New Jersey and thereby has created a predecessor. It is the first eastern company owned by black people above the Mason-Dixon line to quality, Insurance is a literary line of business and pays wonderfully returns to its investors if wisely handled. It is expected that the Northern will place millions of business of business with Paula well-trained, cautious and conservative business man at its helm, it appears that there is a bright future ahead. The cast is catching step with the west and it will not be long before New York City will blossom forth with a modern, up-to-date bank. In spite of the recent failures, the black race is destined to make prodigious strides in the next decade.
This optimistic note from a Western bugler is significant of the temper of the race in pressing forward in the field of finance. This spirit, tempered by prudence and caution, will in time bring fruitful results.
Asserting that some absorbing events are taking place in the courts of the land, the Cleveland Herald said:
Appeals, that is to say, appeals from court 16 court, have done more to procure civil rights for colored people than any other step. In all the celebrated cases the all-important question has been to make the appeal upon the right grounds; for a court of record cannot consider matter outside of the record; and a motion based upon untenable grounds is usually overruled. Contractual, constitutional, and other questions

The state superintendent of Negro schools, who is also the state agent for the Rosenberg school building model graded schools for colored people, not only is he building model graded schools, he is also building model teach co-optage, this giving hope and inspiration to students, who contemplates teaching as a life work. With the building of new schools comes the lengthening of term which is providing longer time for colored children for not less than seven months.

especially interest are often appealable upon the same grounds. One of the first cases ever placed upon the docket of the Interstate Commerce Commission, regarding Jim Crow care, never came to trial upon notice because of errors of form and procedure which estopped the further consideration of the case. In other friendly judges have wept inward because some litigant, who had a good case came up on appeal in error, instance, form, or grounds. The question of segregated schools in the state of Ohio which has a civil right law is an all-important one. Its principal date back to the Berea College (then named since passed upon by the U.S. Supreme Court) but unanimously different grounds than existing in Ohio. It is to be hoped that appeal will take and the queen's segregation in Ohio's school wiped out forever. Likewise, the case in Washington, involving a governing court touches upon certain civil rights which are openly given to all American citizens, save the black man.
The (fundamental law of the United States, as laid down in the Constitution and its amendments, is essentially a favor of human and civil rights, without discrimination as to color or race. The trouble has been to have the truly interpreted and enforced. Every organized effort to bring about this should have the united support of the race at large.

Discussing the law relating to 'child
children born out of wedlock' recently pass-
ed by the New York legislature, the Clew-
ard Gassette said:
No other state in the Union has such a law and every one ought to have. Courts should enact a similar measure if it is lawful to do so. It would do more to improve the status of Americans than almost
thing else just at this time, and would be especially helpful to our people—a
protection for our girls and women,
particularly those in the South where
they are regarded as the "legitimate"
prey of immoral white men. When they
know that their "children born out of
wedlock" have a legal claim upon their
wordly possessions equal with that of their children born in wedlock there
will be far less immorality.
The movement for a national marriage and divorce law might well include its scope such a law against illegitimacy of birth as that adopted in this State. It would curb immoral relations and avert the stigma visited upon the innocent offspring. It has been more appropriate, since the nature of the talk was along business lines.

Many of the grocery stores and butcher shops doing business in Harlem are charged with giving customers short weights. It is all alleged that in some of the Atlantic & Pacific and the J. W. Butler Stores clerks systematically cheat customers by not giving full weight and by short-changing them.
WATCH THE SCALES and insist on getting the quantity paid for.
COUNT YOUR CHANGES and be sure you get all belonging to you.
When clerks are caught in these offenses, the case should be reported to the proprietors or to the headquarter of the company, regardless of the excuse given by the offending clerk or store manager.

Parlem Second Seventh Day Adventist Church
In the soul is now immortal, and is in death, the Bible fails to declare Pastor Strachan a pastor at the Harlem Second Day Adventist Church, 106-108 A.D. 12th Street. The pastor's theme as Does Man Possess Natural Or immortality. Now, Or. Must be Rescued from Him. At The General Resurrection? The pastor began his discourse by using John Barnes as saying: use him to give the doctrine of instant immortality. Next quoted the noted former minister, Olshausen as saying: The doctrine of immortality of the soil is unknown. The Bible asks he quoted Bishop Methodist Church, and shirts, a prominent Baptist, as saying: have from him I have the seminary, but I have that the doctrine of the immortality is a direct contraction to the teaching of Christ."
Stachyan went on further to ask I have read my Bible from the Revelation, but I have never written there any of the follow-ings: Immortal soul; Death; Neverdying soul; Glorified the death that never dies. The cage in which the soul reached the doctrine of na-merent immortality; they from the music sheet; but this union the assumption that the reliable, indisputable, and accepted. Many generations accorded it; tradition has handed it, but since the Bible is mum to claim for the doctrine rests outside of Holy Writ.
there is nothing that I do you tonight that is more unpalatable. You per- always believed that your mental, and that in death you j oins, roving around in the interested in the well- loved ones and friends do doubt some of you say you yourself had conversa- tion. But I assure you dear the origin of this whole the Bible. This thing had in some scientist's labor- professor's class room, or the study. The very found- alm is uncertain and false, impor- tored alone by the theo- teachers, and the opinions ours.

logging a social and inspirational service for the people of New York, in general and this month, west section of Harlem in particular.
In recent weeks this church has entertained two large groups of people—The H. M. U, of N. Y., and the Resonance Trip Group—feeding 160 people. It has had public lectures an various subject—like the one by Mrs. Eaton under the auspices of the Myrtle Anderson Women's League. The Harlem public meeting for the Presbyterian Hospital Drive for $10,000,000 to effect a new hospital to minister to all people without regard to race, color or creed, was held there. Grace Church doors are open to musicians and artists and some of the best New York players. This day Sunday gave a very high class musical at this church. Levineus Lyons, a member of the St. Marks M. E. Church, Choir, and a student, worked it up himself and had a distinguished audience. College, Clubs and Sororites also seek the home atmosphere of Grace Church. Abble Mitchell sings in recessional on May 17, at 4 p. m.
Last Sunday the church was well filled for the Mother's Day services The Pastor's eloquent sermon from the text, Exodus 20:12, "Honor - thy mother that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, designed and instructed the people of the land to laughter their tears. The sermon was pointed and supported historical illustrations that were exceedingly var. and plasting.
Allen P. Gilbion united with the church as a tribute to the memory of his mother, who, recently passed into the realm of shadows The choir rendered good music and Andrew T. Stirling land song "Mother of Mine" as tenor solo before the sermon, most beautifully. Alma Reynolds sang "Tell mother I will be there" after the sermon and reached all hearts. There were many visitors present, several from Washington, D.C., Mrs. Charlotte M. Hershaw of the Plymouth Church in Washington, she was asked to give a reception after she introduced her. Her remarks were most pleasing. She told in modest and sincere fashion of Dr. and Mrs. Garner, who were her pastor are Co-worker in Washington, and extended the greetings of the Sister Churches in Washington to Church.
The new thing last Sunday was a Parent and Church School meeting under Miser Martin, assistant church school superintendent, who organized it. Then followed the Y. P. S. C. E., with a splendid program led by Mrs. Pirlie Bean, Mrs. Daisy Reid of Corona spoke on mother and children; she captivated the audience. Several young people recited and sang. Little Miss Brickhouse rendered two recitations brilliantly. The young people elected Miss Helen Garner to represent them at the Conference in Springfield, Mass, June 11 and 12. A sermon at night by the pastor closed this day.
St. Mark's M. E. Church
The morning and evening services of S. J. C. were attended by large congregations.
The pastor, Dr. John W. Robinson, was the speaker at the morning service and delivered a powerful sermon. Text Judges, 5th chapter and 28th verse. Theme: "Sistera's Mother's Lament." Mother's Day was fittingly observed. The aged members of the church who were the guests of the Mother's Club, presented a most beautiful and inspiring appearance as they filed into the auditorium at the morning service, in the wake of the choir.
In the evening, holy sacrament was administered by Dr. Robinson, assisted by Reva, Bolden, Dougan and Frank Robinson. Four hundred and fifty four persons communed.
Preceeding the communion service, Dr. Robinson summoned the newly appointed steward and stewardesses before the steward and advised them as to their duties and responsibilities during the ensuing year with well chosen words of admonition and instruction.
One adult and two children were baptized at the morning service.
Memorial flowers were given by Miss Vivian Howard in loving memory of her mother, Mrs. Jennie Harper.
The Sunday school was well attended. Preparations are being made for a "Novel Entertainment" by the Sunday school on Monday, May 18.
On Monday evening, May 4, the annual election of trustees of St. Mark's M. E. Church occurred. The retiring trustees, E. F. Hardy, H. M. Winslow and Rogers W. Griffin, were re-elected for a term of three years.
The second "Pleasant Sunday evening" will be observed Sunday evening, May 24. Ralph Venuto Clark, solo harpist, and Miss Marie Robr. will be the principal features of the occasion.

Dinner was served in the Church House by the Mother's Club.
Union Baptist Church
Sunday, 11 a. m., our chair, under the direction of W A Calloum, rendered suitable selections in accordance with the Mother's Day program. Our pastor, Dr. G, H Sims, was present. He spoke to us on the subject "Mother's Place in the World's History" Special stress was laid on the contrast between the mother of to-day and the mother of yesterday.
At 2 p.m. the little one in Sunday school also had the spirit of the occasion. W. H. Johnson, superintendent, conducted the review. Following this, a program in keeping with Mother's Day was rendered. The communion service was attended by a large crowd Dr. W. W. Brown spoke to us out of the fullness of his heart. The message was very inspiring. The B. Y. P. U. occupied its usual position at this service.
Rev. II. Crutchfield delivered the closing sermon for the day on the subject "Then Sui Does Move." His message was forceful, convincing and filled with faith. The offering for the day amounted to 5474.8.
Where To Go To Church
Where To Go To Church
Sunday may 10th, a program by the young girls of the church as a fellow to mother was the special feature of the morning service. The bazaar committee made a partial report of approximately $200. Sunday's session was well attended. Sunday's session was held. B. Harris of Englewood, N. J. will occupy the public morning and evening.
Rush Memorial Church
The inclement weather did not mar the happiness which those had planned for the celebration of Mother's Day. The congregation of Rush Memorial Church held in large numbers to enjoy the service, in large numbers to which Dr. Olliver, the pastor, delivered to an enthusiastic and appreciative people. The serviles were very impressive. Mrs. Judith Handy, soprano, sang in a most effective manager "Mother's Praise." Negro. Spirituals were featured by the choir all day.
"Earth's Best Treasure—Mother" (Sir John 19.22) was the subject selected by Dr. Oliver. The Diversity of Christ is beautifully portrayed by John. Among these things, which Christ held nearest and dearest to Himself, was the glory of motherhood. Even on the cross of crucifixion, His thoughts were turned to man, and he loved man, behold thy Son. Son! Love-led Christ to the cross, and love lained Him there, Christ's love for us and a mother's love for her child are indescribable.
'Mother has to do with the shaping of her child's future.' It is her conduct, self denial, and sacrifice, faithfulness, and care on which a childs destiny depends. A mother's love never fades. It has been tested and proven that her love stands out when all else has failed.
The greatest man, which this country has produced have given the credit of their success to the unfitting efforts of their mother, Dr. Oliver paid a glowing tribute to. American motherhood when he said that the American soldiers were so successful in the World War because they had the best mothers. In the evening, Dr. H. Pauli, pastor of E. Kion Church, Aitona, Pa., greeted an internee from Jasiah 58.9 and 65.24. Subject. "The Spiritual Telegraph." Dr. McNeil compared most beautiful the material telegraph with the spiritual telegraph. He advised young and old to use this spiritual telegraph as often as possible. Prayer is the most essential thing

Sales M. E. Church
Mrs. A. B. C. Clark, in keeplik with a custom of many years standing, delivered the annual Mother's Day, a ceremony at Salem Church. The day's celebration included also a memorial meeting to mothers in the afternoon and the exercises to the League at 6:30. The Ladies Auxiliary to the trustees had full charge of the arrangements for Mother's Day observance.
"Deborah, The Mother of Israel" was Mrs. Clark's subject. The great character of this woman leader was interactingly brought out and stressed as a shining example for present day women. Speaking expressly to the women she said, "Your Israel may be your friendship circle, your church, or whatever particular group in which you move. To rise and lead this group out of the besetting things that are bondages to emulate faithfully the example of Deborah. Each mother has this opportunity, and in performing the duties of a good mother you earn for yourself the everlasting blessings of Almighty God. At four o'clock the lady ushers participated in a gregorian "Mothers of the Bible" directed by Mrs. Lucetra Wilson. This was very touching as it brought to many the recollections of a departed mother."
The Mother's Day program of the Epworth League was in charge of Miss Florlette Allen. Nearly every member of the League choir took a part in this demonstration. This program had a special ring of its own, seeming to be the spontaneous outburst, of hearts just awakened to the sublimity of mother love. The evening worship was shared by the Supreme Council of Masont, the Ladies of the Golden Circle, and the King of Consistency. Dr Charles Martin, of the Bulah Moravian Church, preached to this assembly reprinting the last

He described St. Paul, as taking a special term in the original to drive home the full force of his meaning. To play the man, he explained, means putting down the trivial and taking up something that is great and marvelous in life. He used the life-legature of two men whose lives were opposite views of his subject, empathically with the man, acted well, and played the man. If you are to play, the man" said Dr. Martin, "you will be kind yet strong, loving yet brave, all of which can be accomplished by patterning after Christ, the greatest example of one who played the man."

From that great saying, Christ, "He that gave of God came to my Mother," he wildly pictured the glorious privilege of motherhood in that broader sense for every body and the more earnest we enter into the glory of motherhood in this new relationship the more we will honor the mothers of our homes by nature.

ored families in the neighborhood. So it might be safer to stay in the neighborhood, for the Negroes.
It might be said Monsignor Burke inherited a sympathy for the Negro race. As a young priest he offered his service for work at the Mission of St. Benedict the Moor, which was established in Bleecker street in 1883. He founded St. Benedict's Home for Desiite Colleagues in 1884. He moved to Macdougal street, which was afterwards moved to Rye, N. Y. This home is now catering for 160 boys and girls.
In 1908 the Archbishop of the United States set up the Board of Mission Work among Colored People and placed Montgomery Burke in charge as secretary general. His activities have been so successful, especially in erecting and sustaining schools in the South, that now at his death there are over 25,000

Continuing his ecology, Monsignot G.
Keefe said:
"As Monsignor Burke sinks into his quiet grave today, his hands folded. In his task is finished, it is given him to speak in, farewell, two things above others: he beg, from the living; "Please, pray for my soul and getting addressing the Catholic body of the entire country, priests and people. Take up the burden which has fallen from my shoulders. Give zeal and 'cooperation and patience and sympathy to the people whom I loved and for whose betterment, I gave the yeard of my priesthood and toward whom I have but one regret, that I was not able to do a hundred times more."
Addressing the colored Catholics who occupied it center island of the Cathedral, Monsignor O'Keeffe said, "You, Catholic of New York have you part, an important one, in spreading Christ's kingdom on earth. As St. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians, "For from you was spread abroad the word of the Lord not only in Macadamia and Archia but in every place, your faith which is towards God; is gone forth. So you good people by purity of life, by street obedience to, Holy Mother Church, by charity and patience and kindness exercised in the little communities where you live, you can give Jesus Christ a place of life, Jesus Christ and draw souls to his service." "With all reverence I take the words our Saviour spoke to the Apostles when he was about to ascend into heaven." "So also you now indeed have sorrow, but I will see you again and your heart shall rejoice and your joy no man shall take from you."
into the land of entenity we send this message to his spirit: "We shall be faithful until death to the lessons of religion and morality we learned from your preaching of the gospel of Jesus Christ, waiting in patience for that great joy which shall be ours when again we shall see your face and meet you be fore the great white throne and drink in that joy which the Lord says, no man shall take from us."
The body lay in state at the Church of St. Benedict the Moor from Saturday to Monday, and was viewed by thousands. Three masses were celebrated on Sunday in the Church of St. Benedict the Moor. And on Sunday, May 17, a solemn memorial mass will be held at the 11 a. m. service.
The burial was at Calvary Cemetery, Queens.

LINCOLN GIANTS GET RID OF MARCEL IN TRADE WITH BACHARACH GIANTS, GETTING THREE HURLERS FOR THE "STORMY PETREL"
John Taylor, star right hand pitcher for the Lincoln Giants, and the heavy batting of his teammates saved a game for them on Sunday, May 10. The Philadelphia Professionals were their opponents and they made five hits and five runs in the first inning off Johnson, a new pitcher with the Lincoln. Taylor was hurriedly warmed up and rushed in for the second inning. He stopped the heavy hitting of the visitors at once, allowing only five hits during eight innings. Singer, Scales and Thomas got busy at bat and soon had the score 5-4. In the eighth inning Tom Gee made a single and Taylor surprised the fans by
The biggest baseball trade that has taken place in the East this season was completed last week when James J. Keeman, owner of the Lincoln Giants, secured three pitchers for Oliver Mariel, former captain and third baseman of the Lincoln. The trade was made with the Bacharach Giants, and the players who came to the Lincoln are Roy Roberts, John Harper and Savage, a southpaw.
Roberts has the reputation of walking more men and yet winning more ball games than any other pitcher in the East. In one game against Rube Foster's team, it is said that he walked 10 men but won a 1-0 victory. He pitched his first contest for the Lincoln's against the Philadelphia Hebrews on Sunday, May 10, and won a 12-4 victory.

The Yormer Lincoln third baseman has been a stormy petrel throughout his entire baseball career in New York. Possessed of an unusually quick temper he got the enmity of many fans at Protectory Ovals because of his willingness to argue and even fight with the umpires. He was nevertheless a sterling player and will be missed by the New Yorkers.

All eggs were focused, and all mind were concentrated, on the pitching duel between Captain Wallace and Adams. Adams twirled a deceptive cork center, was cool all the route, and this, together with the great infielding of Lambright and the unmuricial activities of Gunn down at the first sack, enabled him to hold the Tigers in check. Notwithstanding the fact that poor base running, erratic and slow fielding almost proved

JESSIE COVINGTON'S PIANO PLAYING IS FEATURE OF MARTIN SMITH 18H RECTAL
Mr. than two thousand people, threwed Messrs. Casino on Friday
Mrs. for the eleventh annual, Martin Smith School faculty under
Jacqueline Mars Martin, eldest son of the founder of the school,
the late I. Martin.
They were well repaid for the efforts made in coiling cong. Those who
can convert program, fixed well-armed and interesting renditions
of the ten pupils from various departments of the school, ranging
from the tots to young misses, and training from a young people's
made up as the name, implies electrical engineering, with David
I. Martin and directing; and for the Symphony, Orchestra and Chorus, of
advanced pupils, with a few adults scattered about in different sections with
Eugene L. Martin conducting.
Solutions for the evening: Miss Fernentine Jessie, Covington, pianist;
Miss labelle Rogers, soprano (Miss Rogers was prgramed as a "soprano",
but here we are to the reviewer's ears, possesses more the contralto quality);
lowward V. Aaron, baritone; and Augustus furll, violinist.
The first interest centered in the work of the pupil artists, for from their
tasks to come the future's outstanding figures in the world of musical
education. Naturally, the performers were those who, show most promise,
who appeared gave interesting performances. Two numbers that
affect musical interest, were a piano solo fantasia on airs from Verd's
I. Fernstein, splendidly played by young William Weston, and a violin
number, Prahmus Hungarian Dances, played by Edward Scott.
The pose and composition bearing of young Weston, were on a par with
the child played in executing the complex composition. The same thing
he had with equal emphasis in regard to Spot's violin effort. Other
musical performances were the piano playing of Wendell McCoy, the clarinet
playing by Alfred Jurvis (his selection as transcription of airs from
Sorembala was too long for the decasorti, and violin, cello, saxophone
and piano numbers by other pupils.
The young People's Orchestra, directed by young David Martin, played
spend the next movement from Haydn's Military Symphony and a Sharp
These numbers were given with spirit and vivacity, and
Martin conducted with authority.
professional point of view, the most interesting number of the Saint Saens' Concerto No. 2 for piano and orchestra, 1st edition, played by Ernestine Jessie Covingten, pianist, and the Eugene Mars Martin conducting. Miss Covington, who wish for pianoforte study in the Judiallit Musical Founda, she is studying with Olga Samaroff, the Russian pianist, and from Oberlin University, class of 1924, displayed a fame and gave to her performance a clarity and definiteness. Her playing was superb. Under Mr. Martin's baton, showed advance over past possibly, a bit more rehearsing in the Saint Saens in the natural order of change attendant upon any instant fluctuation in the personnel of any student body. The orchestral performance shows that Mr. Martin has gained and that he is developing through experience and study cut and colorful, and this quality was especially evident of the program. Schubert's Unfinished Symphony, played the founder of the school.
The orchestral numbers were the "Magic Flute" Overture (Mozart) Concerto No. 8 for violin and piano, with Mr. Buril playing the and the accompaniments for Mr. Porter, baritone, who sang the song ("Canzone del porter") from Flotow's opera, "Martha"; and the Miss Rogers, "More royal in his humble state." by Gounod. Reciting of Miss Rogers was pleasing. She disclosed a voice of depth, but, as noted above, much more contralto in quality. She has unusual range, but the extent of register does not voice classification. And even in her highest notes, her voice reminiscent and velvety-richness of a contralto. She is, I think, a Miss Selika, famed in years past as the most outstanding of coloror. The teacher has given her pupil the benefit of much of her published art. The baritone, Mr. Aaron, sang well, but without striking or unusual quality. In addition to the solosists, the other vocal feature was a female chorus where Burleigh numbers the song "Little Mother of Mane," "Go Down, Moses" and "Bye and Bye." While there is parts, the works of Addie Davis, soprano, was featured in chorus.

MUSIC NOTES
Negro Music At
Vesper Services Pleases
Judging from favorable expressions from by folks in the audience, the musical program rendered at the first visitor service held last Sunday at Streams Presbyterian Church, Brooklyn, the Rev. George Shippen Stark, pastor, was struck a responsive chord.
The church choir, under direction of L. H. White organist chormaster, sang several old-time spirituals, preserving as nearly as possible their original and harmony. This was the first time this choir had sung any of these race songs, and they won the favor of the audience by the spirit and fervor of their work.
The program featured the music of Samuel Cordilege Lash, and the guest artist who took part in renditions compositions by the great Anglo-American composer were William Lash, Bell bartonion, and Edward Coates pennant. Mr Bell sang in splendid style "two of the composers Sorrow Songs When I am dead" and "Unmindful of theoses, and an art song." Thou are, my beloved." Mr Coates accompanied Mr Bell, and in addition played two piano numbers "Scenes from an imaginary Baller" and a transcription of the American Negro Spiritual. Sometimes I like a motherhe school. Both artists were shown sincere appreciation by the audience on Sunday. May 17 this program be rendered, 5 to 10pm, will be music by Dr. Henry T. Burghill, New York's own composer and the guest artist to be Miss Carrie Yates, central Garefield Warren Tardant, baptone, Ma MaBelle White Williams and Mrs Jessie Cowington accompanist.

Lawrence Brown was at the piano. An unfortunate conflict of engagements prevented The Ago musical from attending the recital, and it is not possible to give a detailed account this. However, comment on Mr. Lyons' singing will be made in a later issue.
Harry T. Burleigh, well known colored singer, and for twenty-five years uninterrupted a singer and composer in the choir of the Temple Enauu-El, one of the most prominent Jewish congrations in the city has been significantly honored by the congregation.

Greensboro, N.C.—A & T was favored with a number of musical recitals during National Music, Week Solos, quartets, glee clubs and choirs from the various schools and churches of the city held their programs in the college chapel. On Tuesday evening, students from Bannett College, Washington Street High Luther College and A & T College were a song recital. Rare training was exhibited in the facility with which very difficult selections were mastered. Thursday evening was turned over to the choirs of the city. The singing of the choirs was impressive. Friday evening the climax was reached when the best musical talent from the entire city furnished classical selections. The program was one of rare merit. There were musical selections at each chapel exercise during the week Music Club taught the numbers brought to the school by the Phoenix Glee Club of the North Carolina College for Women, a neighboring white institution. The Glee Club sang folk songs from the English, Irish, Italian, Danish, Russian and American. The young ladies exhibited rare training but it was interesting to note that they did not attempt the Negro folk songs their director stated that they did not form them, but requested the A & T form them, some of the, Negro Spirituals for them. This was done to the satisfaction of the visitors.
National Musical Week has done a great deal to inspire musical talent and training in Greenshore, especially among the colored school boys and girls. The entire city entered into the spirit of music.

S. W. Rutherford Is Banqueted In New Orleans
S. W. Rutherford Is Banqueted In New Orleans
New Orleans La.-S. W. Rutherford, secretary and founder of the National Benefit Life Insurance Company of Washington D.C. who is touring the South in the interests of his concern, was tendered a banquet at the company last Thursday night, at which many prominent cutouts were present. Among those who spoke were H. J. Braden, president of the Douglas Life Insurance Company and president of the Customs Hotel W. H. Murchell, chief of the Dryades Street Branch W. M. A. Robert S. Charles, representing Walter J. Cohen comptroller of customs and president of the People's Life Insurance Company, H. M. Gilleam associate editor of the Houston Informer George Lalab, president of the San Jorge Labor, H. J. Murray and W. Valentino, and J. Coffey advertisement manager the New Orleans Courier.
Led by three, veterans of the service, a body of nutty looking, Boy Scouts, and the bands of the two districts, consolidated for the occasion, Pullman porters of the New York Central and Pennsylvania: Railroad junctions staged their second annual street parade in Harlem on Thursday afternoon, May 7.
The line of match was from 129th street to 145th street and embroiled Lenox avenue to 133rd street. Fifth avenue to 135th street. Lenox again to 145th street, thence to 38th avenue, and down to the Imperial Ellis Auditorium in West 129th street, the point of information.
The paraders made such a pleasing appearance in their neatly pressed uniforms of Pullman service, and matched with the music of their band, that it was at all surprising that one of the juvenile-onlookers should confuse them with policemen.
Just as they emerged out of 129th street and swung north in Lenox avenue, a little girl ran to her mother on the corner and said: "Mother, the policemen are having a parade." The mother replied, "No, dear, they are not policemen, they are Pullman men." "Well," said the child, "they look like policemen."
The matchers received hearty applause along the lute of parade. In the evening a concert and dance, which was largely attended by the porters' families and friends, was held at New Manhattan Casino.
The official heads of the local management of the Pullman Company present at the affair were: Superintendent C. L. Mitchell of the Penn. Terminal district; Superintendent F. A. Cooke of the New York Central district, and his assistants, W. A. S. Brunswick and S. Sating. Those of welfare forces observed were S. T. Freeman, P. H. Sasaki, and C. T. Taylor. The committee that had charge of the afternoon and evening program was composed of A. L. Totten, W. A. Gaither, R. H. Eetway and E. F. Efforts

Every meal is a festive occasion when the table at which it is eaten is brightly lighted. A cheerful, radiant atmosphere whets the appetite and makes each food dish seem more tempting.
A gloomy dining room atmosphere is not conducive to joylality and is often responsible for a carefully planned dinner party being spoiled. Equally disastrous is the other extreme, glare! Neither your guests nor yourself can find comfortable enjoyment at dinner with harsh, glary light, shining in the eyes.

Our Mothers' was the theme from which Rev. Brown spoke; Sunday morning in the observance of "Mother's Day," Encouched in his message, as he spoke the word "Mother," there was such tenderness, yet something, so siblime, that the careless and unconcerned must have journeyed home, as the value and importance of the influence of home and mother to the picture unfolded itself. His love for her would have hovered ever humble, a war promise to enlarged and enriched lives.
Miss Francis Gunner, the general secretary of Ashland Place Branch of the Y. W. C. A., was the speaker at the Sunday school hour. Her tribute to mothers, especially, to the mothers of our racial group, was among the very highest tributes the school has heard. The personality of the speaker and her work in the community as well as her intellectual attainment in the world of women, gave her a pleasing responsive hearing. Brown spoke at the Academy of Music at 3 p. m, where the Old Fellows and Household of Ruth held their thanksgiving service.
The most impressive program rendered by the Christian Endeavors was given at 6:30 p.m. Among those of the Senior Society contributing to the program in song were Benjamin Smith. William Tucker. John Faulk; Mrs. Nellie Moseley and Prol. Groce. A pantomime of wandering boys and the mothers at home, waiting, hoping and praying for them, was the closing scene of a program with a moral of telling effect. *Religious Decadence* was the subject for the evening service by Rev. Brett. Next Sunday evening at 7:30 Admiral Phillips College, Spanish War Veterans, will be the guest of the church. Tuesday evening, May 19, the Sons and Daughters of Conference will present to the church a baptismal fountain at which time the Rev. Timothy White will preach.
First Emmanuel Church
A wonderfull day was enjoyed by all who attended the services at the church Sunday, Mother's Day. Before Pastor Bolden's sermon, Mrs. Emily Townsend gave a short talk on the life of her mother. She also sang the piece, "Mother's Prayers have followed me."
Pastor Bolden preached from the following text: "When Jesus there-fore saw his mother and the discipline standing by whom he loved, his saith unto his mother, woman, behold the discipline, behold the mother. And from that hour that discipline took her unto his own house." St. John 19:26, 27. Theme: "The larger meaning of mother's day."
Pastor Bolden said: The authoress of Mothers' Day had in mind to have grown up children follow her example in paying tribute and respect to their own physical mother. It is interesting to note how this idea came to her. And how quickly her example has spread and has been acceptable in our country. The pink and white carnation wom as a token showing whether the mother was living or the passer on mother's sign or token which such groups as florists cannot corner and exploit on Mother's Day. The spoken or written word of cheer and goodwill is comforting to the true mother when it comes from a respectful and loving child. The commendation of the fine qualities and spirit of the deceased mother is a very worthy act upon the part of the child and may serve to give inspiration to bring up mothers so that they may have such behaviour and conduct as will cause their children to revere them and call teh blessed.
There are two pictures of mother that the artists have given as models in pictures to think upon, and for the benefit of the people of African descent we would urge these who love their mother to create her ideal form in your own imagination and visualize it into the picture of the "Sistene Madonna" and Whistler's famous painting of "His Mother," which is an Anglo-Saxon type. Barbess on Hutton says, "If you love your mother, other folks can love you, but only your mother understands. She works for you looks after you, loves you, forgives you, anything you may do, understands you, and then the only thing had she ever does to you, is to die and leave you."
As regards Mary the Mother of our Lord and the Mother of all those who believe in Him, as may be inferred by the words of our Lord to His Mother from the pulpit of the cross, I am happy to recommend the "Hail Mary Song of Praise." "Hall Mary full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed are thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy
Tells How She Got Fine Suit of Hair
"When people admire my hair and ask what I do to make it so soft and lovely, I toll them my experience."
"I used to have dandruff and it made my hair coarse and hard to wear. I used to heart for soft, pretty hair but did not know how to have it until I learned of Exolento Quinine Pomade."
"With this wonderful preparation my hair soon become silky, long and lovely as it is today."
"Exelento Skin Soap did wonders for me. It cleared my face of sallowness and pimples, leaving it velvety and admired by all who knew me."
Any woman who wants beautiful hair and facial loviness should get Exelento Quinine Pomade and Exelento Skin Soap "at once. They can be obtained at all drugstores, only 25 each, or will be sent, postpaid, upon receipt of price.

The idea of mother is often used in our chemical relations to earth and nature. And motherhood is the oldest universal institution; without it creation would be meaningless, humanity would not exist. The mothering spirit is everywhere. This seems to be the first and most important idea in the world. Life, activity, deatiny and propagation of species rests within its enfoils. It is akin and a very close relative to omnipotence. True motherhood may be regarded as a synonym for love that all may note with appreciation. It has within it the mind and spirit of our Lord in the sectors of forgiveness, sympathy, tenderness, vicious suffering and substitution for wrong and her child's life. Potential mothers, and the young mother ought to ful of their behaviour and conduct so that they would stamp true and holy prenatal impressions upon their offspring. The beauty and grandeur of the Church of our Lord is symbolized by the bride, a potential moth-
er. This symbol and, mystical woo man is reflected as one of purity, holliness, separateness from the world, full of true love and loyalty. Hence the mother of men should think on the things and live in an environment that would make their offsprings worthy, and exemplary citizens and true followers of our Lord Jesus the Emmanuel.
The Sunday school was opened by Miss Maggie Johnson, owing to illness of the superintendent. At the close of the lesson study, Miss Dorothy Small gave a short review of her mother's life, after which she sang "Tell Mother I'll be there." At 8 p. m., the evening service was largely attended. Short talks on the life of the mother were given by Pastor Bolden Mrs. Borel-Roy, Miss Maggie Johnson, Mrs. Cora Elliott, Mrs. Smith, Mrs. Hattie, Caldwell. Pastor Bolden then finished his discourse of the morning service, closing with the Mother Thought. The dinner was served during the day by the members of the Life, Liberty and Happiness Society, and $10.25 was given to the church from the same.
On Thursday evening the members of the First Emmanuel Church gave the sermon "The Queen of Sheba" Brooklyn, Sann. May 17, holy communion at both the morning and evening service.
Newman Memorial Church
A splendid congregation assembled to celebrate Mother's Day at Newmah M. E. Church and listened attentively to Rev. T. W. Cooper, preached an interesting sermon from the text taken from St. Luke 17:14, "As they Went." In the course of his remarks the preacher emphasized the necessity of perfect obedience if God would be obtained. It was not only necessary to have a desire to do but there must be a determination and will to obey. The Sunday school had a good attendance notwithstanding the rain prevented quite a number of the children from being present. At 4 o'clock Rev. Cooper was the speaker at the Carlton Avenue Branch Y. M. C. A., and there spoke of the honor due the Mothers of the men who had achieved success which he declared could be attributed to the inspiration their birth and in their early training. Pastor Cooper preached again at 8 o'clock to a good congregation from Roman 13:7, "Honor to whom Honor."

Public School Students
Write Prize Compositions
On American Forest Week
The past week was observed as
American Forest Week by the pupil.
We were visiting the schools.
Talks were given on the near-
preservation of our forests and the
pupils in the upper grades were
asked to write short essay on this
subject.
Two of these essay, by pupils of the 7th grade at Public School 119, were among the best. They are as follows:
AMERICAN FOREST WEEK
Forest conservation 'means' the preserving of forests. The one reason why we should want to preserve our trees is they prevent floods and droughts. United States produces more lumber than any other country. Many of the other countries place their forests under government control. In these countries the trees are kept at the proper distance apart and free from underbrush. President Harrison first started forest conservation in this country in the late 1800s. The general government is seeking to find out the best ways of preserving and cultivating the forests.
Parts of the Adirondack and Catskills regions have been set apart as a preserve by the State of New York. Other preserves have been set apart by the government on the public lands of the West, and many have been purchased. One reason for this is that forests exercise on the flow of streams. The vast increase of roots and vegetable mold in the forests serve to back out their growth, which is in part gradually during the summer to feed the streams and lakes. But when the forests are cut away the surface of the ground becomes hard and the water supplied by spring rains and melting anns flow off quickly, often causing distastrous floods.
The pine forests of the South yield vast quantities of tar, turpentine and rosin. Tar is obtained by distilling the wood. When the sap is distilled, spirits of turpentine is obtained and rosin is left behind. Turpentine is used as an ingredient of painks and varnishes, and rosin is used in the manufacture of soap and wash.
Minnesota has large forests of white pine in the northern section and it ranks third among the states in the production of lumber. Lumber goes to planning and turning mills and factories, where it is manufactured into doors, blinds, sash and other house trimmings, furniture, wagons, and the various other forms of wood that one sees on every hand.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to all classes of people that forest areas located on the great water sheds of all countries; should be preserved and for every tree that is cut down another replaced.
AMERICAN FOREST WEEK

Conservation is a word that means to take care of the forests. President Harrison was the first man to start conservaton. The use of the forests is very important, because it prevents floods and droughts. New York is protected very well by forests and that is why we hardly ever have floods. China has no forests and that is the reason we are always reading in the papers of floods that have occurred in China.
A forest is very good when it storms as the rivers are prevented from overflowing. The trunk of the trees take the water gradually so that when comes out it has not timed 60 seconds sinks into the dirt. The roots of our fur bearing animals are found in the for-Industry is developing in the country today to a good extent. Fur bearing animals and fishing grounds and acres of timber were being destroyed. Woodmen, campers and fishing men go to the forests and start big blazes by throwing lighted cigarettes on the grass.
America has lost many thousands of dollars by carelessness of the people. We must be more cautious nowadays and not be so careless and start big fires. There are no fire engines around there and nobody to call up, and also by the time they hear about a fire it is all burnt down. Then New York has to suffer for all the money they have lost. That's why you see we must be more cautious in such cases. He who plants a tree plants a hope. Rooflets up through fibres blindly erase.
