YOUNG MILLIONAIRE SEEKS DIVORCE Omega Psi To Meet in Washington, D.C. 13TH ANNUAL FRAT CONCLAVE MEETS DECEMBER 27-31 13TH ANNUAL FRAT CONCLAVE MEETS DECEMBER 27-31 First Colored College Greek Letter Fraternity to Become International in Scope. The Thirteenth Annual Convention of the Omega Psi Phi Fraternity will meet in Washington, D. C. December 27-31, 1924. The Fraternity was organized at Howard University thirteen years ago, having the distinction of being the first college Greek letter Fraternity to be organized in a Colored institution of learning. From the original Alpha Chapter at Howard the fraternity has grown until now it has fifty chapters in the leading schools of this country and Canada. It it expected that more than five hundred delegates and members will attend. Much interest centers around the meeting in Washington this year as it is the first time the conclave has been met at the seat of the Alpha Chapter since the beginning of the great expansion program of the fraternity immediately after the war. From an organization composed of a few chapters on the Atlantic Seaboard the expansion has developed Omega until now it stretches into the far southwest and to the Pacific Coast and Canada, making it the first colored college Greek letter fraternity to become international in scope. Last year the fraternity was guest of the Upsilon Omega Chapter at St. Louis, Mo. At this meeting the two great metropolitan centers of the country, New York and Chicago, made strong bids for the thirteenth session, but partly from sentimental reasons and partly through a desire of the chapters to hold the next session near the center of distribution of the older chapters where the meeting could take on the aspect of a grand reunion rather than merely that of a formal business gathering. Washington was decided upon. Dr. C. Herbert Marshal, who has charge of the arrangements for the convention says that the business and social program which has been arranged will serve to give even to the people of the capital city a new and finer idea of the place which the College Greek letter fraternity has rightly assumed in the educational, professional and civic life of the race. The Howard University authorities have offered every courtesy to make the social feature of the convention a success. N.A.A.C.P. Plans Action Is Directed Against Segregation In cooperation with colored medical associations, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is planning action directed against discrimination in the hospitals of New York against colored doctors and colored patients. The N. A. A. C. P. has written to Dr. J. T. W. Granady, President of the North Harlem Medical Association, suggesting the appointment of a Committee to meet with the N. A. A. C. P. in order to formulate a plan for campaigning against discriminatory practices. The National Medical Association, has asked Dr. Godfrey Nurse, chairman of its Special Hospital Committee to consult with the N. A. A. C. P. The Committee from the North Harlem Medical Association has been asked to draw up a statement of the situation as it affects colored physicians, surgeons and patients in the hospitals of New York, and also to suggest a plan for investigating and acting upon particular cases of discrimination. The Committee is now at work and will soon present its findings to the joint conference. BULLETIN-APPEAL Crisis Analyses Negro Election Gain and Loss Publisher's Story by Chestnut and Essay on King Tut and Ras Tafari. Analysis of the gains and losses accruing to the Negro as a result of the recent election, is made in the leading editorial of the December Crisis. Among the "Gains" are listed: 1. The prominence, for the first time in history, of colored people in the councils of each party organization. 2. The vote polled by two Negroes running for Congress, Dr. Roberts, in New York and Mr. Watkins in Chicago. 3. The solid Democratic vote of colored people in Texas against the Klan, helping elect "Ma" Ferguson, governor. 4. The exposure of the "Solid South" as a "Political No Man's Land." The Negro's losses include: 1. Klan victories in the West. 2. The personal triumph of C. Bascom Slemp, exponent of lily-whiteism. The December Crisis also publishes the first installment of a story of Charles W. Cheenutt, the first to appear in some time by the well-known novelist and story writer; and an article on "Tutankh-Amen and Ras Tafari," in which the present ruler of Abyssinia is compared with his famous predecessor. In this Crisis is also published a photograph of a tablet erected in the London Hospital to Chief Mandombli, an African, who, in 1890, voluntarily offered himself as a subject for experiment in order that cure for the dreaded "sleeping sickness" afflicting his people in Nigeria might be found. As a result of these experiments on the African chieftain, the little worms causing the disease were first made known to science. The discoveries so made, have saved the lives of millions of Negroes and white men according to one of the doctors in charge. POPULAR ATTORNEY OPENS NEW OFFICE A. B. Olander J. Smith, attorney, who formerly occupied offices with Attorney W. T. Francis, has opened an office suite at 328 Metropolitan Bank Building. Mr. Smith is a promising young lawyer, having graduated from the St. Paul College of Law more than a year ago. His pleasing personality and affable manner coupled with his knowledge of law makes him in demand by persons of both races. BRANCHES IN 25 STATES ENTER N. A. A. C. P.

L. Boyd, 2528 Chicago Ave., a place on their mythical all-city football elevens, in fact Reid has been acclaimed the football find and sensation of the Minnesota high school football season. Reid's remarkable playing contributed largely to Central's winning the city championship. He started early running rings around his school's opponents, consistently scoring and starring in every game. Reid's accomplishments are made more remarkable by the fact that he was the only colored player on any of the teams and that he had not been allowed to play on the regular team before this year despite the fact that he is in his senior year and Pretty Reception at Home of the Bride's Parents Following Wedding Attended by Large Crowd. A pretty romance culminated in a fashionable wedding Wednesday evening, November 26, when two popular members of the Twin Cities set, Miss Marye Susan Johnson, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ennis Johnson, St. Paul, and James Edward Combs of Minneapolis were united in marriage at Pilgrim Baptist Church, corner of Cedar and Summit Ave., in the presence of hundreds of friends. Preceding the ceremony the robed choir sang "Perfect Love" and a baritone solo, "I'll Never Stop Loving You," was sung by Dr. L. R. Hill. Messrs. S. R. Ransom and James Murphy acted as head ushers. The bridal party then entered to the*strains of the "Bridal Chorus" from Lohengrin, rendered by Mrs. Hattie Hall. The processional was led by the ushers, Messrs. Martin Brown, Hiram Gibbs, John Neal and Henry Johnson, cousin of the bride.

It was not until this year with the coming of Joe Markley, a real coach who immediately saw something in Reid that the preceding coach either failed or did not care to see. Each of the football writers on the Minneapolis dailies gave him much space, one enthusiastic sports-scribe called him a second Earl Martineau. Charley is what is known as a "triple threat man," being a good ball carrier, punter and a wonder at throwing accurate forward passes. It is the general consensus of opinion among local sport dopesters and followers that if Reid keeps up his pace he is bound to make his Race and parents proud of him. He graduates this year at 17 years and has announced his intention of entering the University of Minnesota. y Couple Joined ing on Wednesday WEDS MINNEAPOLIS BUSINESS MAN Mrs. James E.

New York, Nov. 22.—A report which points the way to greater employment opportunities for colored people, which throws light on their difficulties in securing jobs, and which suggests possible means of lessening these difficulties has just been issued by the Russell Sage Foundation under the title "Public Employment Offices—Their Purpose, Structure, and Methods." While the study on which this report is based was not confined to the employment problems of any race, there is much of interest to students of race relations in the findings and recommendations of the Foundation with respect to employment problems affecting the country generally, and an entire chapter in the report is given over to the problems of colored workers. The report recommends the establishment of a nation-wide system of free public employment offices, to be operated jointly by the federal, state and local governments, with the state government as the chief unit of administration. In the section discussing the management of local employment offices, the point is made that placement work for colored people can be done best by members of their own race. The Foundation's investigators studied employment conditions in the north and in the south, in large cities and in agricultural sections throughout the country. They find that race prejudice is limiting very much the occupations open to colored people; until comparatively recently almost the only lines of work to which they were admitted have been farm and plantation labor, personal service, and common labor. This range of employment should and can be greatly increased through intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for certain other kinds of work, together with discriminating placement. "If a colored man with good training and ability is held down to a common laborer's job because of prejudice, he, industry, and the community all suffer an economic loss," says the report. The report declares that southern states, in an effort to restrict the emigration of colored labor to the north, are through legislation and license fees making it increasingly difficult, and in some states impossible, for private agencies to send workers out of the state. There are numerous instances, also, says the report, "of the efforts of citizens to prevent the recruiting of colored people for work in other localities or states, some of these even going so far as threats of violence to the recruiting agent." This opposition can be removed through intelligent operation of public employment bureau, whose object is adjustment, not mere shifting of men, and whose tendency is to place workers as near home as possible. Referring to migratory labor in general, without special reference to the colored race, the report says: "The transfer from one section of the country to another of workers in increasing numbers is an uprooting of home and community relationships that must be looked upon with concern. In the past we in the United States have talked very loosely about shipping men from one part of the country to another, as though the desirability of shipment from an industrial and social point of view were unquestioned." That race prejudice has handicapped the colored worker by limiting his choice of occupation is (Continued on page 4) POPULAR DENTIST IS TO MOVE TO CHICAGO JOHN H. HARRIS Dr. J. R. French, prominent dentist who has practiced in this city for the past eight years, will leave for Chicago, Ill., about the middle of December to establish an office in that city. He is the only son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. French, well known citizens of Chicago. Shortly after his graduation from Northwestern University he arrived in St. Paul and opened an office in the Kendrick Block at 27 E 7th St. From there he moved to the Court Block. A better location was obtained, however, and for the past six years he has conducted a modern and up-to-date office in the Detroit Bldg. Dr. French has enjoyed a lucrative practice. His clientele consisted of a large patronage from both groups. Aside from his profession he has willingly given his loyal support to any project to better the community and no worthy or deserving person has ever been refused assistance. His executive ability was manifested in two exhibitions of the Business League which he promoted successfully and achieved national prominence. Cosmopolitan in his views and always a good mixer, Dr. French was popular in social circles. The entire community joins with the Bulletin-Appeal in wishing him health, prosperity and success in his new location. Entertains Orchestra At Delightful Dinner The Henrietta Hotel was the scene of an elaborate dinner party of six courses on Saturday evening given by Mrs. Wm. McDowell in honor of her cousin, Prof. George Morrison, and his orchestra from Denver, Colo., who were head liners at the Pantages theater in Minneapolis, last week. Covers were laid for twenty guests. The menu consisted of oyster cocktail, puree of pea soup, salted wafers, relishes, pickles, baked Virginia ham with glazed sweet potatoes, stuffed green peppers, string beans, Parker House rolls, pear salad with Mayonnaise dressing, dessert individual roast turkey in ice cream with cake, Camembert cheese, toasted wafers, demi-tasse. A flat centerpiece of chrysanthemums; roses and fern adorned the table together with silver candlesticks holding orange and black candles. The place cards and favors were tiny black cats. Following the dinner the guests enjoyed dancing and musical numbers rendered by members of the orchestra, who were Miss Hattie McDaniel, Mr. and Mrs. Leo Davis, John Sailes, Cuthbert Byrd, Andrew Kirk, Alvin Walls, Wm. Dirvin, Theodore Morris, Joe Miller and George Morrison. The guests departed in the wee hours after spending a delightful time and declared Mrs. McDowell an ideal hostess. There was a surprise donation party tendered to Mrs. Lela Harris of St. Anthony Ave., on last Monday night, by the Household of Ruth, No. 553; also a short time ago, the D. W. D. Y. K. Club gave a donation party for her. Mrs. Harris has been ill for a number of months and much sympathy is being shown the family. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS SUIT TO ANNUL MARRIAGE FILED IN HIGH COURT Complaint Declares That the "Consent" of Plaintiff "Was Obtained by Fraud." New Rochelle, N. Y., Nov. 26. —Leonard Kip Rhinelander, scion of one of New York's oldest families, who married Miss Alice Jones of New Rochelle on October 14, today filed suit in the West Chester County Supreme court to annul the marriage. Rhinelander alleged that his wife concealed from him the fact that she has colored blood in her veins. The papers were supported by an affidavit made by Rhinelander before a Kings county notary public. The complaint declares that the "consent" of the plaintiff, Rhinelander, to the marriage "was obtained by fraud" and that the defendant, formerly Miss Jones, told Rhinelander "she was white and had no colored blood." Rhinelander, the complaint states, entered into marriage on the basis of such representations, which he has since discovered to be wholly untrue. Rhinelander, heir to a fortune of $100,000,000 in Manhattan real estate, is a member of one of Manhattan's most exclusive families. His Huguenot ancestors settled in New Rochelle in the seventeenth century. The marriage of Rhinelander did not become public until a month or so after it was performed. New York World PraisesCarverfor Big Achievement Professor George W. Carver, Negro scientist of Tuskegee, delivered an address in the Marble Collegiate Church of New York City, upon his work and methods, which aroused widespread comment and elicited the following editorial in the N. Y. World of Nov. 20. Science As Inspiration George Washington Carper, Negro, who heads the department of scientific research at Tuskegee Institute, declares his methods are inspired by God. In this day, when scientists are assailed by many Godly men, this surely an arresting statement. What manner of man is Carver? Who's Who has this to say of him: Born of slave parents on farm near Diamond Grove, Mo., about 1864. In infancy lost father, and was stolen and carried into Arkansas with mother, who was never heard of again. Was bought from captors for a race horse valued at $300, and returned to former home in Missouri. Worked way through high school, Minneapolis, Kan., and later through college. Bachelor of Science in agriculture, Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, 1894; Master of Science, 1896; unmarried. Elected member of faculty, Iowa State College of Agriculture and Mechanical Arts, and placed in charge of greenhouse, devoting special attention to bacterial laboratory work in systematic botany. Teacher in Tuskegee Institute since 1896, now director of department of research. Member Royal Society of Arts, London, 1917. Awarded Spingarn Medal, 1923. We doff our hat. This bit of human flotsam, stolen once, traded another time for a $300 race horse, rises to a point where he is awarded the Spingarn Medal for achievement. Now he tells us that he admits no books to his laboratory, that the correct method is revealed to him he needs it, that all his useful researches in agricultural products are God's work, not his. Well, why not? Men of his race often seem uniquely close to the Divine. Their music is inspired by God, if ever music was, and who will say that science is not inspiration?

Noe's Curse—Ch We have been informed through the daily press that the great Ford plant will open in the spring. As citizens of St. Paul we are gratified to know that the heralded beginning of a greater St. Paul is at hand and that the first step toward the creation of a large industrial center in the Northwest has been taken. The Ford plant will give employment to thousands of men, which will mean greater volume of trade for our merchants, and therefore greater prosperity to the whole community. But there is one phase in the building of a greater St. Paul which has a sinister aspect. There has been a persistent rumor which has come to this office repeatedly in the last eight months to the effect that certain business interests in our city have attempted to influence the Ford organization against the employment of colored men. At first we were loath to credit such a rumor because we could not ascribe to the business men of St. Paul such low and unfair methods towards a hard-working and defenseless group of peaceful and law-abiding citizens. But within the past few weeks the rumor has been more or less verified by responsible people and we feel that it deserves editorial comment. The Ford plant in Detroit employs upwards of 10,000 colored men. That they are employed and have been employed for the past six years is proof conclusive of their efficiency. The Negro in St. Paul seeks no special privilege—all that he asks is a "fair field and no favor." We submit to those who thus attempt to restrict the opportunity of colored men to work because they fear the growth of the Negro population, that no group in St. Paul, of whatever racial origin, have been better citizens than the Negro group. And we further submit that great cities are not built by men with petty prejudices and infantile fears, but by broad-minded, liberal and courageous men who will not stoop to deprive their fellow citizens of the right to earn an honest living. St. Paul will grow and as it grows its Negro population will increase the same as its other racial and national groups. The way to absorb that population without shock to the community is not by any foolish policy of repression but by the enlightened policy of opportunity. Noe's Curse—Cham and the Negro (From Our Colored Missions) A story is told of Charles II. of England that he once proposed a question to some learned men of his day. "Why is it," asked the king, "that a live fish weighs less in the water than when it is dead?" The puzzled men of science scratched their heads and many a specious reason for so curious a phenomenon was adduced. Finally it dawned upon one of their number, that it might be just as well, before going farther, to test the truth of the fact. The experiment being made, it was found that the live fish didn't weigh less in the water. Catholics, accused by non-Catholic of many things, will answer by a flat denial: "Why does the Church forbid Catholics to read the bible?" "It doesn't," we answer. "Why do Catholics adore the Virgin as though she were equal to God." "Catholics don't." We often think of the foregoing when questions are put or arguments arise regarding the Negro race. Hackneyed statements on the Negroes are most common, especially in certain places and among certain people. How shall these be answered? In the same manner as the scientists answered Charles II, or Catholics answer non-Catholics. There is wide-spread belief that the Negroes were cursed in their father Cham, that they were condemned to be the slaves of their brethren. And many a white person holds, that in consequence of Noe's curse, the Negroes, the offspring of Cham, have been turned black. We know that, as children, we were taught to flee sins of immodesty from a salutary fear of the punishment of Cham and his descendants. Cham looked upon his uncovered father and jested thereof. Noe, hearing what his son had done, cursed Cham and his progeny; they became black and were to be slaves forever. So we were taught; and we shall not admit for one moment that prejudice prompted our teachers, nor shall we try to deny that the bugaboo must do its work and have a salutary effect with white children as regards modesty.

Simulation without shock to the com- y of repression but by the enlight- the conversion of Africa to Christianity, into which this idea of a curse upon the Africs, the sons and daughters of Cham, has crept. So we may be pardoned for asking: "Is there, really, a curse upon the Negroes?" It is well, in all questions, to go back to sources. In the matter before us, we shall have to be guided not by what so or so said but by the Bible, which is the only source from which we may glean what happened on the day when Cham' sinned against his father Noe. Now the Bible reads: (Genesis IX: 21-27) "Noe drinking of the wine was made drunk, and was uncovered in his tent. Which when Cham the father Chanaan had seen . . . he told it to his brethren without. But Sem and Japheth put a cloak upon their shoulders, and going backward, covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away . . . Ond Noe awakening from the wine, when he had learned what his younger son had done to him, he said: Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. And he said: Blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant. May God enlarge Japheth and may he dwell in the tents of Sem, and Chanaan be his servant." Such is the narrative of Holy Scripture. What does it prove? Most assuredly, it does not prove that there is a curse upon the Negroes. Perhaps, you will remember from your studies of the Bible that Noe's son, Cham, had four sons, Chus, Mesram, Phuth and Chanaan. Of these four the three first traveled southward. From them chiefly sprang all the tribes that peopled the African continent. Chanaan, the last son, became the father of the tribes that principally occupied the territory of Phoenicia and Palestine. If you will read the genealogy of the children of Noe, as told in Genesis, Chapter X., you will find "Chanaan begot Sidon," his first-born, the Hethite, and the Jebusite, and the Amorrhite, and the Gergesite, the Hevite and the Aracite: the Sinite, and the Aradian, the Samarite and the Hamathite . . . . and the --- limits of Chanaan were from Sidon as one comes to Gerara, even to Gaza, until thou enter Sodom and Gomorra, and Adama, and Seboim even to Lesa." This enumeration of Children and description of territory may be tiresome for some of our readers, yet they prove three things: (1) The descendants of Chanaan, Cham's youngest son, did not enter Africa; they remained in Asia. (2) The children of Chanaan were the fathers of those tribes of whom we hear so much, when after 897 years the Israelites took possession of the land promised to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. (3) The country occupied by Chanaan's descendants is practically coevtensive with the land possessed and divided among Jacob's sons, after the exodus from Egypt. If we now reread the curse of Noe, a light may go up for us. Noe did not curse Cham and all Cham's children; he cursed Chanaan. "Cursed be Chanaan, a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren blessed be the Lord God of Sem, be Chanaan his servant . . . may God enlarge Japheth, and Chanaan be his servant." Neither is Cham, the father, cursed nor are his three first sons, Chus, Mesram and Phuth, from whom the Africans in general and the Negroes in particular descend, cursed. We have been taught, that one of the reasons for forbidding Catholics to read Protestant versions of Holy Scripture, is that the Catholic Church wishes the faithful to use a version in which difficult passages are correctly interpreted in the annotations or foot-notes. The Douay version of the Holy Bible, the version to be used by English-speaking Catholics, in interpreting the words "Cursed be Chanaan" says: "The curses as well as the blessings of the Patriarchs, were prophetical; And this in particular is here recorded by Moses for the children of Israel, who were to possess the land of Chanaan, but why should Chanaan be cursed for his father's faults? The Hebrews answer, that he being then a boy was the first that saw his grandfather's nakedness, and told his father Cham of it; and joined with him in laughing at it: which drew upon him, rather than upon the rest of the children of Cham, this prophetical curse." The Rev. Francis De Hummelauer, S.J., in his commentary on Genesis, a work belonging to the erudite Jesuit "Cursus Sacrae Scripturae," holds, that whilst we may doubt the above explanation of the Hebrews as to the reason for the curse on Chanaan, Cham was punished in this son alone. The other three with their children were exempted, and the exemption he ascribes to "divine mercy." He also declares, that when it is foretold that Chanaan is to be the servant of his brethren, not only Sem and Japheth and their children but also Chanaan's three brothers and their children are to be included under the name "brethren." According to his interpretation we have just the opposite to a curse of servitude upon the Negroes, for we will remember, as is written above, that the Negroes descended from the three brothers of Chanaan. The learned interpreter continues to say, that we need look for a dire fulfillment of the curse, first because the context does not demand it, and secondly because we may well hope for divine forgiveness to temper this curse in the same manner as other curses mentioned in Holy Scripture, specifically the curse pronounced against Saul, are softened down through the mercy of God. He believes that we find the fulfillment of the curse, first in the expulsion of Chanaan's progeny from the land promised to Abraham, and secondly in the fact that the Phoenicians gave themselves over entirely to commerce. They did not found kingdoms, but rather paid tribute to other kingdoms for permission to traffic in the goods carried by them from port to port; thus they were not rulers, but servants. And he concludes, that in vain we look for the origin of slavery in the curse of Noe upon Cham's son, for even those Chanaanites, who lived in the Holy Land when the Israelites came into the Land of Promise, were not reduced to slavery according to the true meaning of this word. We ask our readers: Do you not consider that is quite proper, never again to speak of a curse upon the Negroes? TRANSLATE INTO RUSSIAN "FIRE IN THE FLINT" New York, Nov. 21.—Word has been received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, that Walter F. White's novel, "The Fire In The Flint," is being translated into the Russian language. The book was sent to a lady who does translating for the Russian Government, by Upton Sinclair, author of "The Brass Check," "The Jungle," and "The Goose Step." The translation of Mr. White's novel will be published by the Russian Government. THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL TRINKETS OF SLAIN SOLDIERS UNCLAIMED 5,000 in Collection at the War Department. Washington—There are more than 5,000 polignant human interest stories buried here in Washington—unwritten because no "outsider" can find words potent enough, untold because the persons most interested cannot be found to tell them. Each story is materially represented by a trinket, paper wrapped, lying in a special room of the War department. War stories they are—tales of soldiers who have fought in battles here and in other lands, who have died in service and whose relatives have never been found. Their trinkets, their jewels and keepsakes, taken from their still forms on fields of battle, all are there awaiting for the call of someone who has the right to claim them. Good luck charms there are by hundreds—charms which failed to keep their owners safe from harm. And there are decorations and medals of all kinds which testify to the valor of their winners, though there be none to know they were won. Strange Stories Never to Be Told. Strange are the stories that the trinkets would tell—if they could; stories of reckless desire to win distinction for someone back at home; tragedies of human hearts made rashly brave because someone did not care; debonair eagerness for experience and heartbreak for countless families left at home to wait and hope. There are hundreds of photographs of beautiful girls, smiling or sad-eyed, taken from breast pockets of soldiers on battlefields. There are diamond rings, fashioned for feminine hands, which went to the war with their purchasers because "someone" withheld her consent. There are remnants of bullets and toy cannons whitted of wood. There are costly gems, Liberty bonds and sums of money. Families have doubtless been left destitute but could not be given the wealth these soldiers possessed. Other apparently worthless trinkets would be priceless to mothers, fathers, wives and sweethearts of those who died. But all have been unclaimed. John W. Robins has their charge. His is the task of locating relatives to whom those belongings of service men left on battlefields and in camps should be returned. Although countless of the living have been connected with their dead, there are more than 5,000 packages whose should-be-owners among "the nearest of kin" cannot be found. All wars are represented. Tragic Romance Reached. A battered dollar watch which had done service for many years and was indented with marks of shrapnel was recently sent to the fiancee of the boy who carried it when he died. It was all she had, save memories of the lover to whom she had not said goodbye, because she was in Cuba when he sailed. A mother, comparatively young six years ago, now aged and grayed with grief, came to Robirs for help in locating the grave of her boy. He had worn a ring bearing the family coat of arms, she said. After four years the boy was traced to a nameless grave in France. A youthful lieutenant wore a sorority pin over his heart when he died. With only the name of the sorority search was started and inquiry at college after college finally located the girl to whom he had been engaged and made possible the marking of his grave. Only a few weeks ago a family ring worn by a soldier of the Civil war was returned to the widow, who, for all these years, had thought it lost. Of the thousands of soldiers who have died in the service of this country, the effects of more than three-fourths have been returned to those who have the right to them. River Bandit Specializes in Women for Ransom Galatz, Roumania.—Operating up and down the Danube river in a powerful motorboat armed with a machine gun. Terenti, notorious pirate, is still at large despite the united efforts of both Rumanian and Hungarian police to catch him. One of his late adventures was to fight his way through a company of Rumanian soldiers near Braalla. Terenti makes a specialty of captures for ransom, and he prefers to gather in women and children of well-to-do families. He shows consideration to the poor fishermen and farmers along the river, who are friendly to him as a result, and warn him of the activities of the police. He recently found two girls who had been bathing in the river near Galatz and whisked them away in his speedy boat before they could make an outcry. Price of Insulin Cut to $7.03 Per Patient Toronto, Ont.—The price of insulin, a specific for diabetes, has been reduced from $14.06 per patient to $7.08 per patient per month, it was announced here by the government, which supplies it to sufferers free of charge if they are unable to pay for it. Improved methods of manufacture are responsible, it was stated. The cost of the free treatment was $34,484 for the first 12 months. All wars are represented. Tragic Romance Reached Ruffled by Sparrows Washington.—The dignified setting of Whistler's famous "Peacock Room," in the Freer building, was shattered recently when about forty sparrows attacked a young peacock strutting about the courtyard. It happened when the three big peacocks, who add tone and color to the central court, left the young bird eating out of an earthenware jar. The fledgling was helpless against the sparrows that surrounded him, cheeping angrily. Finally he decided to retreat and tried to retain some shreds of dignity by strutting off. The sparrows, however, circled about him, fapping their wings and nipping him with their beaks. Around and around the fountain he ran, desperately frightened. One of the older peacocks saw the trouble from a distance and came to the rescue. Spreading his magnificent plumage, he charged the sparrows and they scattered, flying away in all directions. SCIENTIST FINDS STRANGE BEASTS Erga, Mongolia.-Prof. Peter Kozloff, Russian explorer, has discovered near here an enormous number of skeletons of hitherto unknown animals and many human remains which lead him to believe that Mongolia may have been the birthplace of man and the point of origin of a considerable part of the animal and reptile world. Among the fossils already unearthed by Professor Kozloff and his assistants are those of 25 quadrupeds of undesignated species, 15 birds of varying sizes, 100 reptiles, snakes and fishes and more than 1,000 insects of giant size. Professor Kozloff last June discovered several remarkable tombs near here belonging to the Chinese emperors and princes who ruled Mongolia at a time antedating the pharaoh Tut-Ankh-Amen of Egypt. It will also be remembered that Prof. Roy Chapman Andrews of the American Museum of Natural History, New York city, startled the scientific world last year by discovering nests of dinosaur eggs and showed that the central Asian plateau is a paleontological garden of Eden. Kozloff also found in one of the royal tombs bricks of compressed tea and grains of wheat still quite fit for human consumption, despite the fact that they have lain in the tombs many thousands of years. In another section of this district Professor Kozloff excavated the grave of a woman of the nobility, containing a number of bronze articles of exquisite craftsmanship and several silk tapestries of superb texture which depict Greek and Roman figures on horseback. The nature of his discoveries is so important that the Russian scientist has decided to remain in Mongolia indefinitely, postponing until next year his expedition into Tibet, to resume exploration work in the forgotten city of Kharakhote, which he unearthed some years ago. Three archaeologists and biologists are now en route here from Leningrad to assist Professor Kozloff. Strange Kind of Worm Can Live Only in Ice Tacoma, Wash.—A species of worm that lives only in the ice and cannot withstand even the heat of a human hand, has been found and photographed by a scientific expedition that recently went into the Olympic mountains. The ice on Dodwell-Rixon pass in the Olympics was found literally alive with these worms. They are black, thin and about half an inch long. When the sun is out they crawl into the interior of the ice where the temperature is lower. Scientists with the party said that so far as they knew these worms never had been found before in the United States. While the worms were photographed, it was impossible to get any of them out of the mountains alive. When the ice surrounding them begins to melt, they die immediately. What they live on is still a mystery. Find Stone Nursing Folkstone, England.—Proof that babies of the Roman expansion era were accustomed to the luxury of the nursing bottle has been found during excavating on the site of an ancient Roman city near Folkstone. The archaeologists have unearthed the nipple end of a baby's bottle made of stone, and of a shape identical with the latest in nursing bottles. Buoy Travels 8700 Miles Washington.—Life buoy No. 9 broke loose from its moorings in the Indio channel of the Plata river, Argentina, on July 3, 1918. It was recovered by Australian authorities about 100 miles north of Freemantle, West Australia, on June 29, 1923. The drift was across the whole Indian ocean, a total distance by the shortest route of 8,700 miles. HAMMOND TURNER LAWYER 306-7 McClure Bldg. Cedar 8190 Saint Paul J.

The biggest surprise of the last two months was occasioned when many of the Twin Cities people recently received invitations with this inscription, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Locke have the honor of announcing the marriage of their daughter, Dorothy Locke Grant, to Mr. Raymond A. Young on Saturday, October 25, 1924, Springfield, Mass. This announcement created a sensation in social circles as no one expected the former Mrs. Locke's marriage. Mr. and Mrs. Locke are to be complimented on causing the biggest and most pleasant surprise of the matrimonial year. Mr. Locke formerly resided in St. Paul and Mrs. Dorothy Locke is well known throughout the Twin Cities. They are at home at 58 Seventh St., Springfield, Mass.

After a turkey dinner the guests spent the evening and a few hours of the next day in dancing and cards. Mr. Vaughn was assisted by Mesdames V. S. Kaufman, C. E. Newman, S. J. Onque and Miss Minerva Totten. The guests voted Mr. Vaughn a splendid host. We refuse to tell how many candles were on Mrs. Vaughn's birthday cake. The "Midnite Sons" dance at the South Side Monday was a success for a nice time but a failure in drawing a large crowd. Thanksgiving week with its many features cut considerably into the attendance. The women's auxiliary of the Wheatley House met Tuesday at the house. Twenty-two members were present. Foster Turner, Charles Dassett and Alonzo Mitchell, all of Kansas City, visited the Minneapolis office on Monday. All are young men and are interested in becoming Twin Citians.

THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL Bishop Brooks, Wife, Sail For Liberia, Africa Bishop and Mrs. W. Sampson Brooks sailed for Monrovia, Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa on Thanksgiving Day, 1924. Conspicuous among the instructors for Monrovia College and Industrial Training School will be Mrs. Helen Curtis, widow of the Hon. James L. Curtis, who died while he was United Minister and Consul General to Liberia. Mrs. Curtis will teach in addition to Sewing;—poultry raising and dairy products. Mrs. Curtis desires to do something worthwhile for the native boys of West Africa as a memorial to her distinguished late husband. The Hon. Solomon Porter Hood, the present Minister and Consul General of the United States, who was among the prominent Coolidge-Dawes speakers in the recent campaign will also sail for Africa about this date. Bishop Brooks was a recent visitor to Los Angeles churches and vicinity and left an indelible impression upon the minds of all that heard him. He preached the first Sunday at 8th and Towne and in spite of the steady downpour of rain, the church was filled to overflow. The congregation gave the Bishop over $300 for his work in Africa. Bishop Brooks is not only a great minister of the gospel but a keen financier. Wherever he has had charge, he has left his church free of debt. His last notable effort along this line before going to Africa was the payment within two years of a $33,000 indebtedness for Bethel A. M. E. in Baltimore. The last day of that remarkable drive will never be forgotten by Baltimoreans. Day had long since dawned the next morning when the final figure was announced which showed that Baltimore's finest church was out of debt. The white press was loud in its praises of the constructive efforts of this native son of Maryland. Soon after he was raised to the Bishopric and sent to Africa he started to raise $50,000 for a school there. This amount he raised in a surprisingly short time and built the school, a splendid concrete building three and one-half stories high, costing over $75,000. It was completed in 1922. At the General Conference in 1924, the Bishop reported the school paid for. He is now in this country raising another $50,000 to erect a school for girls at Sierra Leone, a dormitory for boys at Monrovia College, also an assembly and dining-hall. It is the general opinion that Bishop Brooks has done more for the Negroes of Liberia than all the other missionaries combined. Sailing with Bishop Brooks on Thanksgiving will also be Lorenz B. Graham, former U. C. (at Los Angeles) student. He is expecting to teach in Monrovia College. Graham is the son of Rev. D. L. Graham of Seattle, a nephew of the bishop and a member of Upsilon Chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi Fraternity. MINNEAPOLIS Nice Warm modern 5 room flats, $30.00 per month, 3432 Oakland Ave. So.

P. met Monday evening at the Phyllis Wheatley House to hold their annual election of officers. Mr. Geo. De Vaughn, retiring, made an address reviewing the association's work during the past year. The election was then held but because of the lateness of the hour only two officers were elected. Wm. Smith was elected president for the incoming year and Miss Myrtle Hull was elected secretary. At the next meeting the election of officers will be resumed. 'Playing the Game' Presented Before a VerySmall Audience At St. Stephens Auditorium Tuesday evening the three-act comedy drama, "Playing the Game," was presented before a disappointingly poor crowd. The play, which was directed by Miss Eva B. Walker and given under the auspices of the Douglas Club, was very good. A young engineer, Tom Browne, who obtained a contract to construct a large dam by stealing the plans of another engineer, formed the main plot of the play. After obtaining the contract, Browne finds himself incapable of handling the project. Accused by Lannon, father of his girl, of stealing the plans, he runs away with Lannon's daughter. James Stewart, the young engineer, whose plans Browne filched, because of reverses and failure to receive work, is down and out and attempts to burglarize Browne's apartments. He is caught by Bolton, Browne's butler, who, to save his master from shame, accepts Stewart, who bears an almost perfect resemblance to Browne, as his master. The way in which the plot developed from that point furnished a most thrilling and delightful evening to a seemingly none too appreciative (in amount of applause given) audience. Stewart stepped into Brown's shoes, completed the project, wooed and won a girl, exposed the crookedness of Lannon, the contractor who had sold the construction corporation two hundred thousand dollars worth of worthless cement, and made every one go home happy by forgiving the villain. A play that no one should have missed. The dual role of Browne and Stewart was handled well and with polish by Tom Stovall. Eva Lane played Mrs. Jessie Shepherd, was good especially during the third act. The Bolton of Spondy Ratliff, the Colonel Lane of C. W. Washington; The Torrence of Bessie Cherrill; the Mrs. Lou Turner of Lucretia Boswell and the Daintry of Dendall Jones were all fairly good performances. Curious enough the most delightful and natural acting was done by the villain of the play, Lannon, played with distinction by Clarence Hughes. Our program informed us that the music was donated by the Patterson Harmony Orchestra; furniture and properties by Albert Hurt. Electrical effects by Chas. Earl Duncan. Miss Walker deserves much credit for this latest effort; giving the audience a well constructed play that showed good direction. The Douglas Club also deserves commendation in its thankless attempt to provide wholesome entertainment for the people of the Twin Cities. Where were the folks who constantly complain that the Twin Cities never have anything worth while? C. E. N. LEAGUE SECRETARY TO ATTEND CONFERENCE Mr. Elmer A. Carter, secretary of the Urban League, will leave Sunday evening to attend the National Urban League which convenes in that city on Dec. 2nd to 5th, inclusive. After the conference Mr. Carter will leave for Brooklyn, N. Y., and Auburn, N. Y., to visit his mother and sisters. His oldest sister, Miss C. Vivian Carter, is the Northeastern organizer of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Girls' Work secretary of the Brooklyn Y. W. C. A. Miss Carter is a graduate of the University of Chicago and is thoroughly capable of filling these two responsible offices. PEONAGE MURDER TO BE INVESTIGATED George W. P. Hunt, Governor of Arizona, has written the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, that he has asked Judge Gibbons of Apache County for comment upon a charge, that a colored man, Albert Jackson, had been killed by white men at McNary, who were subsequently exonerated on manufactured testimony. The murdered man, it is alleged, had been planning to move away from McNary because of the bad treatment accorded colored people at a local sawmill built by a Louisiana company.

Community House Notes The Phyllis Wheatley House Auxiliary held its most interesting meeting in the Auditorium Tuesday noon, at which time the heads of the four departments of the House were named as follows: Dramatics, Mrs. B. S. Smith; music, Mrs. R. R. Harris; music, Mrs. M. O. Cannon; recreation, Mrs. L. Maxwell. Also the chairmen of the following committees were named: the membership committee, Mrs. R. A.

Durango, Colo.—The old Greek saying "out of bad wood good smoke sometimes comes" was applied here when a "community tabernacle" and its parsonage were built out of timbers and materials taken from a once notorious gambling resort and dance hall and from an erstwhile brewery. The tabernacle, built by the Free Methodist church, was recently dedicated. Its altar rail was made of part of the bar against which the lumberjacks, miners, cowpunchers, Mexicans and gamblers of forty years ago used to lean. The bar's foot-rail was converted into the hand-rail of the steps leading into the church. A Bible now rests on the polished walnut where the liquor of the early days was placed, for the top of the bar has become the pulpit. The altar was constructed from other parts of the bar. The church rests on a foundation of stone, heavy timbers and iron beams taken from both the dance hall and the brewery. The window sills and ledges were made from the heavy oak bottoms of huge beer vats. The building occupies the site of the former brewery. It is situated at the foot of a bluff and is overlooked by the parsonage of the presiding elder of the district. The parsonage once was the office of the brewery and has been made into a modern cottage. It is planned to terrace the bluff and to build winding stairs from the elder's home to the house of worship, using as a hand-rail a coil formerly utilized in making beer. The two steps that lead to the entrance of the tabernacle were formed of timbers taken from the dance hall. One of the boards carries a bullet fired from a "45," evidence of one of the many shooting scrapes that enlivened the old resort. The heavy timbers comprising the supporting columns and the roof beams were taken from the dance halls. The church seats 700. "I think," said Rev. F. F. Stewart, the presiding elder who conceived the idea, "that it was in the nature of an act of Providence that we were able to convert these places of disrepute into a house of worship." Loving Is Said to Be Cure for Stuttering New York.—Do you stutter? A little loving will cure it. If you are not of an amatary disposition, dancing is a slower, but equally sure remedy. At least, so says Dr. James S. Greene, psychoanalyst and founder of the Ephphtha club. Ephphtha is a Bible word, meaning "thou stalt speak." The 2,000 members meet once a week. They go through exercises. Then Doctor Greene starts them talking of love. They dance. Ergo, their speech becomes normal. The only disadvantage, if it should be called such, is that most of the patients cured of stuttering fall in love. Doctor Greene's motto is: "They don't stutter when they say: 'I love you.'" Advertises for Work London, England.—Two "personals" appearing in the London Times tell their own story. The first, which reflects the social and economic changes wrought by the war, follows: "Peer wants work; under forty; energetic, resourceful; horses, motor, literature; served in royal air forces." The other shows the die-hard spirit, the spirit that's out to maintain the old social standards at all hazards. Here it is: "There is now a vacancy (first class) for lady inebriate in home at Apply, etc." The plain inference of this laconic message is that at this particular home there is no welcome for a woman inebriate who is not a lady. Didn't Need Bloodhound; His Own Nose Know Olean, N. Y.—The local constabulary did not require the use of the police bloodhounds when he went to capture a burglar at the home of Mrs. C. H. Miller. After surrounding the house in answer to Mrs. Miller's call the constabulary emptied the entire cylinder of his six shooter into the carcass of a skunk, whose head had been caught in a milk bottle. The tapping of the glass bottle had caused Mrs. Miller to believe that burglars were trying to force a window. Some Traveler Orange, Mass.—While some of the older residents occasionally do a stunt which attracts attention, they are several knots behind Mrs. Mary Currie for endurance and activity. Mrs. Currie recently returned from a motor trip in which nearly 500 miles were covered in a day and a night. Mrs. Currie is nearly eighty-one. Autos Rout Camel Train London.—A plan to substitute a motor car service over the deserts between Bagdad and Persia and Constantinople and Persia, to take the place of the old caravans, is being undertaken by an English firm. The firm at present is operating a service between Halifam, Damascus and Bag- Prince Ahmed in Insane Asylum Near London London.—Languishing in an insane asylum here is a multi-millionaire Egyptian nobleman who considers himself a modern Monte Christo. The man is his highness, Prince Ahmed Selfeldin, one-time brother-in-law of King Fuad of Egypt and the possessor of an income of more than $500,000 a year. For 22 years he has been kept in an asylum in the outskirts of London, with only an occasional outing in an automobile, and before that he served a four year's prison sentence in Egypt for attempting to shoot King Fuad, then Prince Fuad. Shot Brother-in-Law. Prince Ahmed is descended from Ibrahim Pasha, second son of Mehmet All, who in the days of the great Napoleon conquered Egypt by intrigue and battle. His sister was married to Prince Fuad. In 1898, after she had told him something about her husband which enraged him, Prince Ahmed seized a revolver and fired at his brother-in-law, wounding the latter. He was arrested, tried by an Egyptian court for attempted murder and sentenced to seven years' penal servitude. This term was afterward reduced to four years. In addition he had to pay the expenses of Prince Fuad's illness, which cost nearly $10,000. After serving his sentence in an Egyptian prison, Prince Ahmed was brought to England, declared insane and placed in the asylum where he has been ever since. Prince Fuaud had, meanwhile, divorced Prince Ahmed's sister, and she disappears from the story. Mother Awaits His Return. But there is an aged woman living in Constantinople. Prince Ahmed's mother, who longs for the return of her son and has never ceased to work for his release from the asylum. Time after time she applied to the British government, but without success. Now that Egypt is, at least nominally, an independent country, she is trying to gain their support for her son's release. Prince Ahmed's devoted companion In the asylum is his English manservant. The prince's vast estates in Egypt are larger than an English county and bring him a yearly revenue of more than $500,000. Ever since his conviction, however, his property has been officially administered for him. Royal Mounted Again Runs Down Quarry Prince Rupert, B. C.—The end of a long, long trail which three members of the Royal Canadian Mounted police have been following since early in June, and which had led them through more than a thousand miles of the untamed northland of Canada, where canoes and pack dogs were the only means of transportation, was almost in sight when the three left here aboard the steamship Princess Alice for Vancouver with five Indian prisoners. The Indians, said to be virtually savages, are charged with the murder of a seventeen-year-old Indian boy whom other members of his tribe suspected of practicing witchcraft. According to the story told, the boy was hanged, head down, and stoned to death. A young girl of the tribe, likewise suspected of witchery, is said to have been suspended for three days and nights by one foot and one hand, as a result of which she was crippled. The prisoners live chiefly on meat, regarding bread with suspicion. Whole Village Converted New York.—Salvation Army head quarters here received word from Commandant Howard McGrath and Capt Samuel McGill of Plainfield, N. J., that the entire population of Samptown N. J., a mill community five miles from Plainfield, had been "captured" and en rolled under the army flag. Girls Build Fortune in Oklahoma Desert Cooley, Okla.—Packing their dunnage and crossing the plains of Kansas in a covered wagon to their new home in the wilds of Oklahoma, Miss Beatrice Cooley and Emma Blampied, both of Hutchinson, Kan., 20 years ago took up what seemed a worthless claim to conquer their world of dreams. The two women, in a country pillaged by outlaws, courageously built a store and post office in connection with their home on a little claim where the roads crossed and named it Cooley, Okla. One girl would care for the trade while other sat behind a curtain, rifle on her knee, prepared for invaders. Through hard work and their undying spirit the girls converted a portion of that cattle ranch into rich acres of orchard, vineyard, chicken run and sweet clover. Wearing overalls, doing all their own work, Miss Cooley, whom the town is named after, and Miss Blamped have conquered their dreams.

New York, Nov. 25.—Jack Dempsey, world's heavyweight champion, and his manager, Jack Kearns, arrived in town today. Before the champion of the universe leaves here he is very likely to affix his signature to a contract agreeing to defend his title in a fifteen-round bout to a decision against Harry Wills or any man the promoters name. An offer will be made Kearns and Dempsey which seems too tempting for them to resist. The offer will be made by a promoter of recognized ability and financial backing. The money of Dempsey and Kearns will be protected in every way. Dempsey Wins But Possible Inasmuch as Kearns and Dempsey last week are said to have talked over the proposition with the promoter and that the promoter has virtually agreed to all the terms and conditions stipulated by the champion and his manager, the chances seem most roseate for the one great heavyweight contest the fans have awaited so long and anxiously, Dempsey vs. Wills, really materializing. It would seem that the only thing which stands in the way of Kearns and Dempsey accepting the alluring offer that this week will be made them is that the report is true that Kearns and Dempsey are in some way tied up by Tex Rickard and that Dempsey will not engage in any bout that Rickard wants except under Rickard's auspices. This report, however, repeatedly has been denied by Kearns and Dempsey. May Sign This Week If Rickard does have some hold on Dempsey and Kearns then this week's offer by another promoter may force Rickard's hand and bring about the announcement of a Dempsey-Wills bout under Rickard's auspices. If Dempsey ever is going to fight Wills, either the promoter, whose name cannot at this time be mentioned, or Rickard is likely to land the Dempsey-Wills bout this week. One or the other is likely to have the contract signed and sealed this week, although announcement may be withdrawn for a fortnight. The signing of Dempsey and Wills would launch the tremendous boom which boxing is now in need of.

This exposure, made in 1904 at great risk to himself, Mr. Morel followed with a series of books showing the African roots of the World War, and that exploitation of black people had brought retribution upon white European battlefields. Among his works are "The Black Man's Burden," "Red Rubber" and a series of pamphlets published by the Union for Democratic Control in England, of which Mr. Morel was one of the founders. MORRISON ORCHESTRA RENDERS FINE PROGRAM Professor George Morrison and his orchestra rendered a splendid program at St. James' A. M. E. Church Sunday.

Saxophone solo, "Shuberts Serenade by Mr. Leo Davis, Vocal solo, "The World Is Waiting for the Sunrise," Mr. John Sailes and piano solo by Mrs. Leo Davis.

Combs, the bride and groom and members of the bridal party. Festoons of canary and white alternating with miraids of tiny wedding bells of canary formed the artistic decorations in the various rooms. A silver basket of yellow and white chrysanthemums adorned the center of the dining table. The prevailing color scheme was carried out in punch, ices and cake. Assisting in the dining room were Mesdames James Murphy, Henry Johnson, Richard Artis, James Greene and W. B. Walker. A costly array of beautiful wedding presents was displayed upstairs in a room to themselves and attested the esteem in which the young couple are held by friends far and near.

"The first step in reducing this race prejudice," says the report, "is a knowledge of the facts regarding the requirements of particular jobs and the ability of individual workers. When the specific qualifications of a worker are known—what he can do and how well he can do it—it is possible for an employment office to recommend him for a particular job. What is needed is intelligent and persistent educational work among employers as to the suitability of colored workers for certain kinds of work—many more kinds than have heretofore been acknowledged—and their capacity for discharging new responsibilities not only to the advantage of employer and workman but also to the advantage of the community as a whole and of our developing industrial life."
