Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal

THIRD YEAR FOR BULLETIN-APPEAL Established To Secure Justice and Equality to All Minn. Historical Society Minn. Historical Dig. Mini Paul, Minnesota VOLUME III THIRI LOCAL BUSINESS MEN ARE GUESTS OF THE 'HOWELL Letters of Appreciation Sent to Acknowledge Hotel as Best in City. Many of the Twin Cities business men were guests at the formal opening of the Hotel Howell for dinner last Sunday. The following letters show the appreciation of three leading men on having visited The Howell: February 5, 1924 It was my pleasure to have dinner at the Hotel Howell on last Sunday, and to inspect the premises. The dinner was delightful and the premises scrupulously clean. I congratulate you and Mr. Ream and am satisfied that the hotel will receive the patronage that good management deserves. I was impressed with the two private dining rooms which can be used for committee meetings and small dinner parties, thus relieving the housewife of the work incidental to that sort of thing in the home. With best wishes for success, I am, Yours truly, W. T. FRANCIS. To the Editor of the Bulletin-Appeal. Dear Sir: Will you just allow me a little space to say a word about the Howell Hotel, under the management of Mr. Reams. It is just what we have been waiting for, for many years in St. Paul, a place where we could take our family and enjoy a good meal. I took my wife, daughter and Dr. Clarence Smith as my guests to dinner at the hotel last Sunday, and it was certainly a pleasure. The food was wholesome and dainty, and Mrs. Reams spared no pains to make us comfortable. The people of St. Paul should see to it that this hotel is successful because it certainly reflects credit upon the whole race. St. Paul, Minn., Feb., 1924. Mr. R. H. Reams, Mgr. Hotel Howell, St. Paul, Minn. Dear Sir: With a party of business men of our group I was the guest of The Hotel Howell last evening and upon the invitation of your able and courteous assistance we were shown through the hotel. We were all much pleased not only with your service, but with the air of refinement that seems to permeate throughout, and it is to be hoped that your efforts to give our people in the Twin Cities the service that the discriminating public demands will be appreciated by their patronage. Very truly, FRED D. McCRACKEN. Myron Jenkins, address unknown, was arrested Tuesday and held without charge after an attack on Mildred Tate, 637½ Sixth avenue north, Monday night, in which Jenkins is alleged to have cut the woman with a knife. She was taken to the General hospital to be treated and was later able to go home.

BULLETIN-APPEAL Laud Nathaniel Dett as A Rare Musical Genius Laud Nathaniel Dett as A Rare Musical Genius The various musical critics are in one accord that R. Nathaniel Dett, composer-pianist, is a musician of masterful ability. The following are taken from various papers in cities where Mr. Dett has appeared: "Another group of musicians, of which Mr. Dett is one of the leading exponents, believes that the better way of the preservation of this beautiful music (Negro Folk song) lies in development of the original themes, development that shall conserve instead of destroy the original characteristics, and at the same time make them usable for presentation in concert form." May Stanley in Musical America. "A musician of pronounced gifts." —The Etude. "It remained for the pianist, R. Nathaniel Dett, to show how the character accents of Negro music may be developed into genuine art form." —Chicago Tribune. "Mr. Dett proved himself as facile and pleasing a pianist as composer." —Chicago Journal. "Mr. Dett's own compositions were enthusiastically received, some numbers eliciting applause before his conclusion. He is a master of the piano, the grace and technique of his execution showing his fine training and versatility." —Norfolk, Va., Journal and Guide. Oberlin Conservatory of Music. "I feel sure that he will fill a large Pythians Honor CharterMember At Testimonial Minneapolis Lodge Gives Loving Cup to Well Known Fraternal Man on Birthday. Elks' Hall, last Thursday evening, was the scene of a grand time when the Pride of Minnesota Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias, gave a birthday party and testimonial banquet in honor of Mr. Fred G. Thomas, who has been a member of that organization for thirty years, and presented him with a loving cup. A splendid representative body of over forty members of the lodge were assembled around the banquet table to listen to the testimonial addresses given. Previous to the banquet proper favorite games were enjoyed by the guests, who later gave audience to the speakers of the evening. Mr. James Burk gave a bass solo, followed by Mr. Thos. Stoval, Jr., with the saxaphone. Speeches Given. Attorney Wm. R. Morris, deputy of Minnesota, was the first speaker to eulogize the honorary guest. Attorney Morris was followed by W. C. Jeffrey, chancelor commander, who also gave substantial evidence of the faithfulness of Mr. Thomas. Other speakers were Byron Holder, Attorney Geo. G. De Vaughn, Ralph Watson and Mr. Wm. Moden. The presentation of the loving cup was made by S. Quay Herndon, Wm. Clark very gracefully occupied the chair as Master of Ceremonies. Mr. Thomas in his usual calm manner was deeply impressed with the honor conferred upon him by his brother Pythians and in his acceptance remarks related the occuring incidents of his thirty years as a member of Pride of Minnesota Lodge. Mr. Thomas received the congratulations of the lodge and of the members at the close of the banquet. DRAW THIRTY DAYS FOR LOITERING IN ARCADE Joe Wilson and Victor Daniels drew thirty days Wednesday morning in police court. They were arrested last night after a chase by police officers who found them loitering in the arcade of Husch Bros.' store. When arrested a stolen automobile blanket was found in their possession. THE NORTHWESTERN A. B. great, but in humility greater, in justice strong, but in compassion stronger, he became a leader of men by being a follower of the truth. He overcame evil with good. His presence filled the nation. He broke the might of oppression. He restored a race to its birthright. His mortal frame has vanished, but his spirit increases with the increasing years, the richest legacy of the greatest century. MEN show by what they worship what they are. It is no accident that before the great example of American manhood our people stand with respect and reverence. And in accordance with this sentiment our laws have provided for a formal recognition of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln; for in him is revealed our ideal, the hope of our country fulfilled. and its observance recommended as befits the beneficiaries of his life and admirers of his character, in places of education and worship wherever our people meet one with another.

"As a player he was most brilliant and expressive, and as a composer he won the praise and admiration of the entire musical community." Arthur E. Heacox, Prof. of Harmony and Counterpoint. "As a pianist he is very brilliant, his performances always creating enthusiasm. His finger technique is finished and his natural music ability is guided by the spirit of genius." George C. Hastings, Professor of Pianoforce. HENRIETTA IS SCENE OF BOTTLE WEILDING GAME As an aftermath to the dinner dance at "The Henrietta" last Saturday night, McGowan, known as "Cherokee," was hit in the head by a pop bottle wellded by one Mr. Smith, the first not having the desired effect two more were broken on "Cherokee's" head. The combatants were then ejected by the proprietor. They met again Sunday in front of the Henrietta and hostilities were renewed, Cherokee again emerging second best. The gentlemen shook hands and agreed to call it a draw, until some future date. Students of the science of Zymology are practicing on everybody. KAPPA ALPHA PSI 'FRAT' ENTERS THE NORTHWEST Dr. J. Walton Crump Heads Phi Chapter Which Is Addition to National Body. It is conceded that the Negro College fraternity is rapidly playing a tremendous part in the life of our group. The most recent advent into the life of fraternities here is the organization of Phi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity. Officers of Phi chapter are: J. W. Crump, president, physician and surgeon; W. V. Littlejohn, secretary, St. Paul College of Law; J. D. Thornton, treasurer, University of Minnesota. Members, exclusive of the officers, are: Ferdinand Johnson, Kenneth Stewart, University of Minnesota, J. B. Woodfork, Wilbeforce Illumni, and Rev. Carlyle Stewart, Wilbeforce Illumni. Pleges are: Sam Ransom, Beloit College; Elmer Morris, druggist, Creighton University, and J. A. Harris, St. Paul College of Law. It is expected that Phi Chapter will announce new members shortly. Some of the nationally renowned members of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity are: W. Ellis Stewart, secretary of the Liberty Life Insurance Co., who is the present Grand Polemarch; Atty. S. Joe Brown, Des Motines, Iowa; Earl Dickerson, Corporation Council, Chicago; "Duke" Slater, former Iowa All-Star tackle; W. Elder Diggs, Educator at Vincennes, Ind., and Robert S. Abbott of the Defender. Kappa Alpha Psi is the second oldest and largest Negro fraternity in America, ranking next to the Alpha Phi Alpha. It is now fifteen years old and growing more popular each year with the college men. In practically every accredited college in America where our group are represented the Kappa Alpha Psi has been organized. Phi Chapter is destined to play a big part in the college as well as citizen's life of the Northwest.

Above mean save only the of a wonderful woman his tender years, poverty she dowere FIVESCORE and ten years ago that Divine Providence, which infinite repetition has made only the more a miracle, sent into the world a new life, destined to save a nation. No star, no sign, foretold his coming. About his cradle all was poor and mean save only the source of all great men, the love of a wonderful woman. When she faded away in his tender years, from her deathbed in humble poverty she dowered her son with greatness. There can be no proper observance of a birthday which forgets the mother. Into his origin, as into his life, men long have looked and wondered. In wisdom Notable Members. One of Pioneer Residents of City Buried Last Thur. Mr. Milton Fogg, Sr., son of the late Henry and Jane Fogg of Nashville, Tenn., and beloved father of Margaret J. Ervin and Malinda Fogg, entered into rest Thursday, January 24, at 9:23 P. M., surrounded by his faithful and loving daughters and a devoted friend. Although he had been ill for the past five years, the entire community was shocked to hear of his death. Mr. Fogg was born in Nashville, Tenn., April 15, 1839, and at the time of his death he was 84 years of age and had resided in St. Paul forty-one years. While quite a young man he was united in marriage to Florence B. Phillips. Ten children blessed their union, of which two survive. During his residence in St. Paul he acquired a large circle of friends in both races and was highly respected. For a number of years Mr. Fogg was employed as coachman for the late J. J. Hill, afterward acting as foreman for the George W. Hall barber shop. Receives Pension. In 1839 he entered the Pullman service and as a reward for his meritous work of nineteen years he was honorably pensioned and was the Registration is Urged to Voters After making a survey of the various possible candidates for mayor, it seems to be the consensus of opinion of our voters to favor the present mayor for re-election. This sentiment was met after we had made numerous inquiries as to how our group felt toward the present administration. Mayor Nelson stands head and shoulders above any probable opposition. At the present time registration has not been considered very important by any voters. We wish at this particular time to advise our voters to the affect that early registration is necessary.

No star, no sign, foretold at his cradle all was poor and source of all great men, the love man. When she faded away in only porter in this district to receive such in 1912. Mr. Fogg was a sincere and devoted Christian, having been baptized with his wife in Spruce St. Baptist church, Nashville, by Rev. N. G. Merry. He was a member of Pilgrim Baptist church in this city. The funeral was held Monday afternoon from his late residence, 714 University avenue. The home was packed with hosts of friends and many were unable to gain admittance. The services were beautiful and very impressive. Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church spoke in glowing tribute of the deceased. The choir sang favorite selections and a solo, "Steal Away to Jesus," was rendered by Mrs. Hattie Loomis Oliver. His remains were borne to Oakland cemetery, where they will repose in a vault. The casket was completely covered with beautiful floral tributes. The death of this noble character is mourned by his two daughters and an only brother, Charles H. Fogg, of Seattle, besides hosts of friends. The family received telegraphs and letters of condolence from all parts of the country from life long friends. Simpson and Wills had charge of the funeral arrangements. Pallbearers were: Messrs. J. B. Johnson, H. A. Kirtley, W. A. Hilyard, Chas. Shepard, Wm. Hood, Robt.

Hudson Wins On First Charge Lloyd "Dick" Hudson, 3020 20th avenue south, well known football player, who was recently arrested and held on charge of highway robbery in connection with the robbery of three Twin Cities taxi cab drivers, was acquitted of one of the three charges in Judge Salmon's division of the county court Monday. Hudson is still confined to jail awaiting the action of the prosecutor's office on the other indictments. Hudson was ably defended by Attorney Robert Cowling, 846 Security Building, who, because of his interest and belief in the innocence of Hudson, took the case on very short notice. Despite the mass of evidence that the state's attorneys had gathered, Mr. Cowling absolutely convinced the jury of Hudson's innocence. After 3 hours' deliberation the jury reported a verdict of not guilty. Since Hudson has been cleared of the strongest case against him, it is thought that the prosecutor's office will dismiss the other charges. Sorority Girls In Annual Party A very unique tea party was given by Eta Chapter, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority, Sunday afternoon, at the home of the president, Miss Kathryn Tandy, 593 Iglehart avenue. This occasion, which is an annual one, was attended by thirty guests who enjoyed the diversified entertainment of the sorority girls. Select readings, musical numbers and steel guitar offerings were the features of the afternoon, after which a dainty repast was served by the hostess, assisted by Miss Rachel Gboden. Eta chapter, although numbering less in membership than some of its sister sororities, has progressed wonderfully since the organization. The members are well adapted to the necessary functions and are striving to do many things to build a greater sorority at the University of Minnesota. One of the recent laurels to be won by Eta Chapter is in the form of the acceptance for publication by the National Literary Bureau of "Lydia alias Josephine," a short story of college life, written by Miss Frances R. Smith. Eta Chapter plans many other things for this year. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS ANNIVERSARY IS OBSERVED BY LOCAL JOURNAL Friends of Publication Send in Greetings to Foremost Twin Cities Paper. This issue of The Northwestern Bulletin-Appeal is our second anniversary number, representing the beginning of our third year of usefulness in the Northwest. Needless to say, the 39 years of service given to the public by The Appeal before it became the property of The Bulletin, several weeks ago, the public was given an opportunity to secure a combination of 29 years of experience mingled with the progressive characteristic of a younger journal. The Bulletin-Appeal has proven itself valiant at every test. Its founder, Walter H. Chesnut, now deceased, might have no greater pleasure in surveying the accomplishment of his one cherished desire. Mr. Owen Howell, publisher, is primarily responsible for the splendidness of the publication owing to the fact that he has financed the edition through its most stormy periods. Mr. Howell has given to the Twin Cities something never possessed before—a live newspaper. Many more birthdays are our plans and we hope to make each succeeding one a greater Bulletin-Appeal. The Bulletin-Appeal was conceived and is maintained for the sole purpose of uplifting the race. Its ideals are those of progressiveness. Its hopes are for public purpose. It has always stood for justice and equality from within and without the race. The Bulletin-Appeal was one of the first race papers to speak out, in the recent fight against selfish leadership, by the papers all over the country. No newspaper adequately serves its purpose when it allows itself to be hushed with bribes or involved with any persons or organizations so as to prevent its functioning in a capacity that will aid in the uplift of the entire race. The realization of this fact has prompted the Bulletin-Appeal to dedicate its services to any proposition, lacking selfish aggrandement and individual monopoly, that serves to benefit the race. This has been one of the reasons for the success of the Bulletin-Appeal. Other reasons are that it has always striven to be authentic in every article published in its pages and if such article was not correct, ready to print the corrected article. The Bulletin-Appeal believes firmly in the worth of the race citizenry and ever strives to help mitigate any proposition that has for its purpose the lessening of citizenship. The editorial opinion of the Bulletin-Appeal has been quoted more than any other medium ever in the Northwest. This fact proves conclusively that the outside world has valued the progressiveness of the Northwest's journal and has reprinted its opinion. The support of every loyal race family or citizen in the great Northwest is solicited. The realization that we cannot function in the desired capacity without this support prompts us to strive for a greater journal than we have ever published. There should be a ten-page paper representing the race in the Twin Cities. If public support is forthcoming such will result in the near future. How soon it will happen is dependent on the value the public places on a real newspaper. We wish to gloriously thank our many friends for their support since we began in our attempt to serve the public in an adequate manner. The difficulties at times have been many. We have earnestly striven to be of value to those we serve. Being only human, we naturally have made mistakes, but never has our thoughts dwelled on doing anything other than giving our best for public purpose and seeking at all times to benefit our community.

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS . “First in Service” MEASURING FACTS From the general survey of ‘the political field it seems that the six commissioners in office will'likely be candidates for re-elec- tion. Some of them have made a splendid showing and have ful- filled the promises made to the voting public during the last cam- paign. We hold in abeyance our choice of candidates until a more authentic survey can be made. The tremendous tasks that befall ‘a commissioner are of such that great care must be taken in the selection ‘of a man capable of engineering the executive posts as- signed to them. The safety and welfare of the public calls for sane * and deliberate execution of laws, and such cannot be the case when wrong heads are the governing forces. In view of these accepted facts, it is carefulness per se-to lend support to men and measures that work for the welfare of the people. The candidate who will not make good his campaign promises after election is one of base- ness and unwarranting the respect or support of his following. Such has been the case for many. years. , Realizing the Negro fre- quently commands a casting vote, many designing politicians have capitalized their false promises to secure these votes. The Negro voter desirous of securing the representation of citizenship has, in good faith, accepted these false promises as truths, only to find himself a deserted part of the community when favorable action should -have been taken.. A mepetition of this sort of consequence Sea ey penta co sre affes e ok ieee this spring. Such men as we have given unq support to, and found them want- ing when the crisis was negr, will not find the Negro voter his dependable ally when they seek re-election: t In the Eighth ward, where-many of our group own beautiful property, many instances have been shown where adequate im- provements have not been made consistent with the taxes paid. The paving between the street car tracks has been neglected while the franchise of the company specifically states that such paving shall be put in by the Street Railway Company that is consistent with necessity. We feel that such commissioners who are responsi- ble for these necessary improvements should have busied them-. selves to the securing of this paving. In as much as we,have en- trusted our civic development into the care of a representative body, we naturally expect that body to function in a capacity that will be characteristic of the belief the public has inatheir ability to foresee necessity and their integrity to deal without favoritism. ‘The Bulletin-Appeal is not a political journal, nor has it ever permitted itself to become so envolved with any party or faction 80 as to lose our individual identity. Since we serve a public pur- pose it is highly necessary and expedient that we enter such pub- lic affairs that have for their purpose the securing of unqualified recognition at all times and unmitigatéd- justice on all occasions. A such stand all public-spirited newspapers must take if they ex pect to retain the confidence of the people they serve. dies ” We believe that more of our capable citizens are entitled to consideration when the Se ren gov- ernment afte being passed on. if consideration has not been giv- en in the past, but the acceptance of the “crumbs from the Lord’s table” are forgotten issues with us and we seek to secure our right- ful position of citizenship with intelligence of action and concerted- ness of the use of man’s greatest asset—the free and unfestrained use of the ballot. ( é New history will be written’ when the profiteering politician learns he is dealing with men and not forms that bend to the touch of a deliberate lie laquered with promises. Let every loyal Negro register and vote for men and measures. It is only in this way we can receive our full quota of recognition. Border M. E. Church News By Rey. Robert Cheers.

Lacemakers, jewelers, designers of silks, wall papers and table linens, and even bakers and confectioners, are now borrowing the ornamental designs for their products from snowflakes, writes Wilson A. Bentley, snowflake photographer. During 41 years Bentley, who is a farmer of Jericho, Vt., has photographed more than 4,000 snowflakes, and asserts he has found no two alike. He adds that no two could possibly be alike, since the shape of a snowflake depends on temperature, humidity and chemical and electrical content of the atmosphere through which it falls. It is inconceivable, he says, that any two snowflakes could ever encounter exactly the same atmospheric conditions in their journey to earth. In one respect, however, Bentley declares all snowflakes to be alike—all are some variation of a six-pointed star. Though a casual look at the snowflake may seem to indicate that it departs from this form, microscopic inspection will always show the six points. Bentley began studying snowflakes with a microscope at the age of sixteen. Later he acquired a microscopic camera and had completed quite a gallery of snowflake photographs before he realized that the work he was nursing as a hobby had any commercial value. Then a lace manufacturer bought some photographs from him and since then he has found a steady market for his pictures.—Popular Science Monthly. DOMESTIC HELP IN PRUSSIA Employees Are Regulated by Law—Must Work 13 Hours Daily, and Have Two Hours for Meals. In Prussia, as in New Zealand, the hours of work for domestic help are regulated by law. Domestics shall not be kept on duty for more than 13 hours a day, out of which two hours must be allowed for meals. On every second Sunday and on official holidays their work must cease at 3 p. m. After nine months' continuous employment a household employee is entitled to one week's holiday with full pay, plus an allowance for board. Furthermore, the act requires each employee to have a "dienstbuch," in which are entered the owner's name, age, appearance (backed up by a photograph), particulars of former situations and wages received, together with "reasons for leaving" and "character." All these entries are signed by the employer and officially stamped by the police at each change of situation, so their accuracy is indisputable.—Detroit News. Rain Shifts Ranch. It is not often that a man goes to bed at night with his property in one country and awakens next morning to find some of it in another, but such is the case which has recently happened on the United States-Mexican border. An international boundary change, in which a portion of an American ranch has become Mexican territory, has taken place owing to the heavy rains in northern Mexico. After the waters of the Rio Grande had subsided, Ben Kell, a Texas rancher, found that the course of the river had changed somewhat and part of his lands were in Mexican territory. Kell is reported to have gone to Reynosa, in the state of Tamaulipas, to register the property now in Mexico. Described.

HOW THE NATION IS PROTECTED FROM SERIOUS DISASTER City Without a Reserve Water Supply Against Destruction by Fire Likened by Bankers' Committee to Business Situation Without Federal Reserve System. A vital element in everybody's prosperity is that mysterious sounding "something or other" called bank reserve, says the Committee on Public Education of the American Bankers Association, adding: "It isn't an easy matter to make simple and interesting, but its importance to every man, woman and child in the country makes the effort worth while." The Committee continues: Money up deposit must always be ready for depositors when they desire it. Banks must also be ready to loan money, when needed, to their customers, or business would be hampered. In other words, prosperity depends largely on the ability of the banks to meet these demands—that is, depends on the "bank reserves." The problem of handling reserves has been difficult. The Federal Reserve System has met the problem more satisfactorily than any other method ever tried in this country. The Great Solution Our banks are managed by officers and directors, elected by their own stockholders. They are interested in helping the town to grow and prosper. But just as a local telephone station is valuable to the interchange of thought because it belongs to a system whose wires reach to all parts of the nation, so the local bank is valuable to the interchange of business because of its connections with other banks in the United States. finding its strength and its usefulness in being part of a system. For many years a plan was sought whereby our thousands of separate and independent banks could get together and cooperate for the improvement of our banking methods, and for mutual protection in emergencies, both for themselves and customers. We had periodical money panics, dangerously disturbing to business, and chargeable, in large part, to defects in our banking and currency system. There was no central bank from which the individual banks could get assistance in time of trouble. Panic conditions caused weak banks to fail, and even strong and sound institutions to be imperilled. Bankers, business men, and leaders in Congress for years made a careful study of banking and finally Congress passed a law providing for the establishment of twelve great Federal Reserve Banks, each designed to serve as a sort of central bank for such banks in its allotted territory as might become members of the Federal Reserve System. It retained the American plan of independent banks doing business under the management of their own directors and officers. About 10,000 banks have become members of the Federal Reserve System. The member banks in each district own the entire stock of the Federal Reserve bank there, and elect two-thirds of the directors. The other directors are appointed by the Federal Reserve Board at Washington, the Governmental body having supervision over the Reserve banks, though it does not operate them. Its members are appointed by the President of the United States. The Federal Reserve banks hold member banks' reserves. Formerly GETTING THE IDEA GETTING THE IDEA HEY!

SAVINGS MORE THAN DOUBLE IN DECADE New York-Reported savings deposits in banks and trust companies of the United States have more than doubled in amount during the past decade, and the number of accounts have increased by about 141 per cent, figures compiled by the Savings Bank Division, American Bankers Association, show. "If distributed equally mong our entire population, the savings deposits in 1912 would have given $99 to each each bank carried in its own vault the cash required by law as a legal reserve so that it would be ready to pay depositors on demand. The gold supply of the country was thus scattered among thousands of independent banks. When Fire Rages This situation may be likened to the old-time water supply in a town. Each house had to depend on its individual well, tank, or clister. Picture such a town attacked by fire. If the water was low in one well, from drought, or excessive use, water would have to be borrowed from a neighboring well. Suppose the water in that well also was at a low level. Thus the safety of all was sacrificed because no RESERVE water supply was at hand. The fire would become a confagration. Under the Federal Reserve System, we have a series of modern reservoirs, located in various parts of the country, each serving the needs of the banks in its own district. In each of these reservoirs credit is stored up to be supplied to the various banks, as the need arises. Each reservoir is in turn connected with all the others so that when the supply in one becomes low, the others may be temporarily drawn upon. By gathering the gold reserves of the member banks into the twelve Federal Reserve banks, a result has been obtained like that yielded by the construction of a great city water supply Each member bank formerly had to depend almost entirely upon its own resources in making loans to its customers. When it had loaned all of its own money, it could do no more, even though the merchant, manufacturer or farmer customer had great need of more credit, and was seeking it for highly important and necessary purposes. Hence arose what was called a "tight money" situation. Now the member bank can, and frequently does take the notes of its customers to the Federal Reserve bank, and borrows there in much the same way as the customer borrows from the member bank. This reserve-storing and loaning work of the Reserve System is only part of the wonderful protection and service it is rendering the nation. JUST HOLD STILL A MOMENT AND THE IDEA WILL STRIKE YOU!

Instead of North America and India, Africa is now the most important field of French colonial development, writes Henri M. Barzun in Current History Magazine. Here the French possessions have an area of 4,800,000 square miles; that is 17 times the size of France itself, and a colored population equal to the number of France's white inhabitants. The French colonies in Africa, which exceed those of Great Britain by about one-fifth, suggest a kind of confederation, slowly built up by the gradual acquisition of 20 provinces from 1830 up to the Versailles treaty. A beginning was made with the annexation in 1836 of northern Algeria, to which were added the colonies of Gabon, Congo, Ubangi, and Chad in 1841; Guinea and Ivory Coast in 1843; Somalia in 1844; Tunis in 1881; Senegal in 1889; Sudan, Volta, Dahomey, and Mauritania in 1883; Madagascar and Reunion in 1896; southern Algeria in 1902; Niger and Morocco in 1912; and the German Cameroons in 1919. The value of the African empire is seen in its trade both with France and with the world at large. Production is already nearing 3,000,000 tons yearly for the whole dominion, mostly raw materials for manufacturers and foodstuffs for export. As for the commercial balance, the day is expected when the 700,000,000 francs of prewar trade will reach 5,000,000,000. There could be no better prospect for French prosperity at home and for French exchange in foreign countries. Especially in Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia, agriculture is being developed on a large scale. The farms and cultivated fields cover immense areas, comparable only to the American Middle West. This necessitates the use of modern agricultural implements such as harvesters, reapers, binders, thresher and tractors, creating a market for American manufacturers of these machines. TO DECIPHER MANUSCRIPTS Photographers Find Ink Which Has Faded Into Illegibility May Still Be Opaque to Ultra-Violet Rays. Photographers have found that they can obtain very different effects when quartz lamps are used in place of the more common sources of light. The reason is simple enough. The quartz allows the ready passing of the so-called ultra-violet rays of light, which will not penetrate glass, and these in turn produce a different effect from the rest of the rays. With colored vases, flowers or dress goods the effects are equally surprising and sometimes may lead to important applications. For instance, a French photographer has found that ink which has faded into illegibility may still be opaque to the ultra-violet rays. By photographing documents on which the ink had been faded he has been able to restore the legibility. Moreover, the investigator has found that in some old documents, dating back to the Twelfth century, his quartz light photographs showed the original wording, which had later been changed in a still legible ink. Such a deciphering of old manuscripts which heretofore have not been readable ought to add greatly to our knowledge of other days. In the present, when many old manuscripts are being discovered, this process is invaluable. Duo-Negatives. In photographing subjects with intense contrasts the difficulty of securing the required amount of detail in the shadow without getting overdensity in the high lights is a common experience. The use of films makes it possible to overcome this difficulty by a simple expedient. Two negatives are made—one for high lights with a short exposure and the other fully timed for the shadows. The parts desired in each negative are then coated with celluloid varnish and the remainder removed with the well known red prusitate and hypo reducer. When these two negatives are superposed in register their combined effect is that of a properly timed negative. The method is, of course, one requiring some dexterity in the blocking-out process and is restricted to films of negligible thickness. He Should Worry. A Jew who had borrowed money from a friend used to walk up and down his bedroom night after night till he nearly drove his wife crazy. After he had been at it about a week she said to him: "Moses, vy do you valk up and down de room all de night?" He said: "I. valk up and down de room, Rebecca, because I am so vorried. I owe Isaacs $10 and I cannot pay him." "Vell," said his wife, "if I vos you I should go back to bed and let Isaacs valk up and down his room. It's hisorry, isn't it?" Pine Tree of Great Span. The spreading pine of Karasaki, on the shore of Lake Biwa, Japan, was one of the best known trees of the world, and one of the oldest. It was only 30 feet high, but it had a span of 154 feet. For many years it was visited by pilgrims, and tourists from other countries made a point to see it. Recently a solemn ceremony was conducted by a high priest in the presence of many other priests to transfer the spirit of this 1,300-year-old tree to a youthful descendant of 850 years, which sapling will receive the honors long accorded to the sacred pine. Over 500 Delegates Expect to Assemble, Says Simmons in Comment. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill.—The Lincoln League, political, national, representative, practical and daring, has completed arrangements for a mammoth session in Chicago, February 11th and 13th. Postmaster General Harry S. New will represent President Coolidge at the session. Hon. John T. Adams, chairman of the Republican national committee, will be a special guest of honor, and will bring a message of political hope, according to arrangements. United States Senator Medill McCormick will deliver the address on Abraham Lincoln, February 12. Among other distinguished visitors who will probably be present are Senator George W. Pepper of Pennsylvania, who presented the resolution in the Republican national committee representing Southern representation, and Frank H. Hitchcock of New York and National Committeeman W. M. Butler of Massachusetts. According to Roscoe Simmons, president of the Lincoln League, more than 500 delegates and visitors are expected from all over the United States. There is a national committeeman from each state, according to the organization, and the convention will be made up of two delegates from each congressional district, and four delegates-at-large from each state. Robert R. Church of Memphis, Tenn., is chairman of the executive committee, Henry Lincoln Johnson of Atlanta and Washington is secretary, Walter L. Cohen of New Orleans, La., is treasurer and Perry W. Howard of Mississippi and Washington is legal adviser. Large Than 1920 It is predicted that the attendance at the sessions will be larger than in 1920, when the organization brought together the most representative group of men and women ever assembled for the consideration of political advancement. Next to the Republican national convention, there is more interest shown in the Lincoln League sessions than in any other national political gathering. Subjects of nation-wide interest will be presented before the convention for consideration and action. Among them will be: 1. Migration and Its Political Influence. 2. Best Methods to Defeat Class-Legislation. 3. Jim Crow Cars. 4. Colored Americans and Political Parties. 5. Congressional Election. 6. Politics and Industrial Opportunity. The day sessions of the convention will be held in South Park Methodist Episcopal church, and the night sessions in Greater Bethel A. M. E. church. Robert S. Abbott is chairman of the local Lincoln League committee, and Phil A. Jones chairman of the committee of arrangements. SHORT CUTS (Lincoln News Service) This is the time for a "We did it" chorus, rather than for an "I did it" solo. There were 3,682 patients admitted and 2,338 surgical operations performed last year at Freedmen's hospital. Dr. W. T. Merchant of Louisville will be one of Kentucky's "Big Four" at the Cleveland convention. Philadelphia can at least boast of having more colored centenarians than either New York or Chicago. Harry Wills has been offered $300,000 by Tex Rickard for two bouts next summer, with Firpo and Dempsey. Approximately 93 per cent of the Detroit colored males, 10 years of age and over, are gainfully employed. Colored farmers in Hallfax County, North Carolina, are making splendid progress with the aid of their Farm Loan Association. Baltimore has almost as many illiterate colored persons, 10 years of age and over, as New York, Chicago and Philadelphia combined. There are more colored chauffeurs in Pennsylvania than in any other state. New York ranks in second place, followed by Virginia, Georgia, the District of Columbia and Maryland. Great Northern Railway Establishes Remarkable Safety Record By Transporting Thousands of Persons Daily for Six Years Without a Single Fatality. St. Paul, Feb. 1—Nearly fifty million passengers were carried on Great Northern railway trains more than four billion miles during the last six years without a single one being killed, it was disclosed here today in the annual report of C. L. LaFontaine, general safety superintendent. The unique record, attributed to the intensive safety work conducted by the Great Northern, finds no duplicate in the reports of any other Northwest railroad. Officials of the transcontinental system commended the care given by employees to assure maximum safety in the operation of passenger trains as one of the major factors making possible this record. "The safety showing of the Great Northern at the end of the six-year period is a splendid tribute to the army of employees, particularly those engaged in the handling of trains, and emphasizes the exceptional efforts being made by the company to keep passengers in less danger of injury actually than they are on the streets of the average city," said Superintendent LaFontaine. During the last six years, Great Northern trains carried 47,022,858 passengers an average of 85 miles each without a single fatality. This is an aggregate passenger movement of 4,012,023,277 miles. Millions of dollars are spent every year in keeping locomotives and cars, rails and road-bed and safety appliances in first-class working order to permit the rapid movement of trains with a maximum of safety to passengers, executives also emphasized. Indicative of the large investment made to protect passengers and employees is the annual report of C. A. Dunham, signal engineer, which shows approximately $7,000,000 spent for safety appliances. An additional $1,000,000 will be spent this year to extend automatic block signaling, for automatic train control and for other safety devices.

In 1924 automatic block signals will be installed over sections of trackage exceeding 200 miles and 120 miles of track will be equipped with train control devices which will automatically halt a train should it enter a block already occupied by another train.

URLIN CLARK Advertising Manager J. Q. ADAMS Printing Manager At 346 M. ```markdown ``` Mr. Howell, the publisher of the Bulletin-Appeal, has contributed his best toward the supporting of the edition. In speaking of the anniversary, Mr. Howell says: It has been my ambition and desire, since entering the field of journalism, to try and give the best that could be produced for race betterment and journalism. At times things have been discouraging, but I knew some one had to make some sacrifice. Little did I realize that this sacrifice would be one of a financial nature. But such was the case. Even at a financial loss, which none of us like, I feel that I have done something for my race in an educational way in bringing the Bulletin-Appeal to the front. I hope my friends and the public Mass Meeting Is Planned Tuesday Mr. Tom P. Davis, a Minneapolis attorney, and Rev. L. W. Harris of Pilgrim Baptist church will address the Colored Voters' League Tuesday night, February 12, at Memorial Baptist church. Mr. Davis will speak on the constitutionality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Rev. Harris will speak on the Dyer Bill and the need of organization. The Dyer Bill is soon to come before Congress for consideration, and this organization is urged to insist upon our senators and representatives declaring themselves for the passage of the bill. CARD OF THANKS We wish to express our sincere and heartfelt thanks to our many friends and neighbors for their expression of sympathy and kindness extended to us during our late bereavement in the loss of our beloved father, the late Milton Fogg, Sr. Also for the many beautiful floral tributes.
