COOLIDGE FAVORS RACE PROTECTION Established To Secure Just Equality to All IDGE Judge A. B. George Inducted Into Office Chicago, Dec. 1.—America's first colored judge in a court of record, was inducted into office here today when Albert B. George, Republican, took his seat as a municipal judge for six years. In a court room crowded with persons of his race and on a bench banked with flowers, the new judge took the oath of office, which was administered by Chief Justice Harry Olson. The new jurist said he would enforce the law to the best of his ability and expected to subordinate entirely the question of race and color. A.M.E.PREACHERS BACKN.A.A.C.P.IN COLOR BAR FIGHT Commends National Association For Stand Against Color Discrimination The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, which has been fighting the case of Miss Lydia Gardine, barred because of her color from the Y. W. C. A. School of Hygiene in New York, has received a letter from the A. M. E. Preachers Association of greater New York, commending the N. A. A. C. P. stand against color discrimination and offering their loyal support. The letter, in full, is as follows: "Our attention is called to the unchristian action of the Y. W. C. A. school of this city, as reported in the 'World' on the 17th inst., in its discrimination of an applicant, a Negro girl, Miss Lydia Gardine, because of her race and color. "These are some of the persecutions that are constantly asserting themselves against the race in this country, a 'Klu Klux' spirit and program without the 'hoods', yet no less dangerous and outrageous. "Any institution bearing the name of Christ, calling itself Christian, should be above such hypocrisy and when revealed, no terms are too strong for their denunciation. "We are gratified to note, your organization has already taken interest in this case, are making an investigation of facts and we feel sure, no pains will be spared on your part, to expose this unchristian act and institute that justice which the civilization of which we are apart demands. "The A. M. E. Preachers Association of Greater New York, express their faith in your endeavor, your faithfulness to the cause of righteousness and do hereby assure you our loyal support in whatever is necessary to right this wrong and protect the rights of an opposed people."

NO. 34 FIRST MEETING OF N.A.A.C.P.FORUM HELD LAST SUNDAY Opportunities for Obtaining Work Here Limited Says League Secretary The first meeting of the Forum of the St. Paul Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. met on Sunday, Nov. 30th, at 4 P. M., at Little Pilgrim, Grotto & Central. The discussion, "Things Affecting the Colored People of St. Paul," led by Mr. E. A. Carter, executive secretary of the Urban League was well received by an enthusiastic audience. Mr. Carter stated that the opportunity for obtaining work in the city of St. Paul was more limited, than in Louisville, San Antonio, St. Louis, Detroit, or Chicago. He said that in Chicago there were more than eight hundred women and girls employed in the factories making lamp shades and other commodities; that in most of the laundries in that city numbers of colored employees were used, without the efficiency of the industry being impaired. Mr. Carter was followed by Mrs. Lorena Perkins, Messrs. G. W. Wills, F. D. McCracken, R. C. Minor, S. E. Hall, A. V. Hall, Mrs. F. B. Simpson and Rev. L. W. Harris. The recent disturbance in the Maple wood district in which Attorney W. T. Francis and Mr. Ernest Starks were the principal figures was discussed freely. Many different opinions were expressed as to the attitude and conduct of our group when about to secure a home. Expressions to the effect that persons anticipating securing homes in certain districts would let their friends know, so that their assistance would be forthcoming should any difficulty arise. Other expressions were to the effect that the purchase of a home was a private affair, that it concerned no one as to where or when one intended to purchase property. After all those who desired expressed themselves, Mrs. Geo. W. James called the attention of the Chairman to the presence in the audience of Mrs. L. M. Benepe, wife of Dr. L. M. Benepe, prominent physician of this city, who stated that she was very much ashamed to even speak for the disgraceful conduct of the pitilable race to which she belonged, and was surprised to know that the residents of the Maplewood district were objecting to Mr. and Mrs. Francis as neighbors, as she had worked on different boards with Mrs. Francis and found her to be a most estimable and honorable woman; and that the mothers felt proud to have a neighborhood barber shop such as Mr. Ernest Starks conducted at which to take their children for work in his line. She also stated that there is a movement being sponsored by the more influential residents of the neighborhood protesting against the action of this Improvement Association lead by Mr. Arnstein. The public officials of the city were severely scored for failure to give the protection due to all citizens, regardless of color. Dr. V. D. Turner, the chairman of the Executive Board voiced his intention of resigning from that office, after having organized the branch and held the office for twelve years. The annual election of officers will be held at a date which will be announced. The next meeting of the Forum will be held on Sunday, Dec. 14th, at Little Pilgrim at 4 P. M. The Executive Board of the N. A. A. C. P. will meet on Tuesday evening, Dec. 9th, at 8 P. M., at the home of Dr. V. D. Turner, 386 N. St. Albans St. During international radio week, which just passed, Dr. Earl S. Weber was successful in hearing concerts from Berlin, Germany; Newcastle, England, and Mexico City. Doctor thinks that is really reaching out. He has a powerful Neutrodine set. Do not forget the banquet for Hon. W. T. Francis, on Monday, Dec. 8, at 8 P. M., at Pioneer Hall, 588 Rondo St. No reservations will be made after Saturday, Dec. 6. BULLETIN-APPEAL Respectfully, A. M. E. Preachers Association. THE NORTHWESTERN ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 MOTOR APPARATUS OF COLORED FIREMEN PARKER City Fireman To Get $5 Pay Rise Effective Jan.1 City Fireman To Get $5 Pay Rise Effective Jan.1 Colored Firemen To Benefit By Pay Increase. New Classification Proposed by Civil Service Examiner. An increase of $5 a month in the salaries of city firemen will become available beginning the first of the year. This became known yesterday and was confirmed by Commissioner J. M. Clancy, who said that this is "about the sum" which will be added to the firemen's pay checks. At present firemen are getting a maximum of $142 a month. Firemen have been contending for the same pay as patrolmen. They used to get the same amount. Then the standardization ordinance adopted in 1922 put them in different grades. Engine Co. No. 9, composed of members of our group, which is stationed at Edmund and Marion Sts., will benefit by the new increase in salary. This company can boost of an excellent record ever since its formation early in October. 1885. Their equipment consists of the latest model in fire fighting apparatus; a combination pump and hose cart. The car completely equipped, weighs seven tons and is capable of a little better than thirty-five miles per hour. The pump attached to the motor can pump water 796 feet in the air or four feet higher than the Woolworth building in New York. This truck is the cynosure of all eyes when responding to fire alarms, a glittering mass of nickel and steel, it attracts much attention. Great pride is taken in its appearance by the members of Company 9, who devote their energy and time in keeping the car in perfect condition. The roster of the company is composed of William R. Godette, captain; H. C. Jones, lieutenant; N. A. Evans, engineer, George Charleston, Wm Davenport, J. T. Harris, Ed. L. Jones, S. F. Lewis, Earl W. Neil, Arthur White and A. L. Yelser, pipeman. TRIANGLE CLUB GIVES SUCCESSFUL CARD PARTY The Corinthian Triangle club gave a delightful card party on Tuesday evening at Pioneer Hall. Progressive Whist was played and prizes were won by Mr. Simmons, a can of cigars, who captured the first gentleman's prize. A handsome serving tray was won by Mrs. Ida Smith and the consolation prize went to Mr. S. Lambert. A beautiful cedar chest containing a dainty boudoir cap and slippers, silk hose, ribbon coat-hanger, hand embroidered guest towels, luncheon dolies, sheets, pillowcases and other articles was ruffled the same evening. The lucky winner was Mrs. Isaac Spirling, 296 Chestnut St., who sold 15c for her ticket which she purchased while the party was in progress. The ladies of the club served a delicious luncheon. Detective Routed Drug Store Bandits P JAMES A. MITCHELL Fight in Francis Case Taken Up By N.A.A.C.P. In Fight In the case of the residence of Mr. Wm. T. Francis, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has taken the matter in hand, and the public will be informed just what steps we are taking for his protection. Mr. Francis has definitely made up his mind to remain in the property at any cost, and it is up to the Association and the citizens of St. Paul to rally to his support. This is not a personal fight, but a race fight, and if he loses, we lose; if he gains, we gain, so let us lay aside all factional feelings and support the National Association in its effort to throw around him such protection as is needed, for his safety. We have many friends who are standing by us in this matter. In the near future we hope to have a meeting in which we will tell you everything connected with it. Remember that in Mr. Francis' attempt to hold this property that he is making many sacrifices, and may even have to make greater ones, even the Supreme Sacrifice, but he is determined to hold it at any cost; so that we solicit your co-operation in every way that may be necessary in the future, because this is a fight to the finish. Very truly yours, St. Paul Branch, N. A. A. C, P., Judge J. W. Willis, pres., Dr. V. D. Turner, chairman. GIBBONS AND NORFOLK TRAIN FOR BIG FIGHT Tommy Gibbons, St. Paul's veteran light-heavyweight, and Kid Norfolk, Baltimore's dusky leather-pusher, are reported to be training hard for their 15-round bout, which will be the principal attraction on The American's Christmas Fund charity boxing carnival to be held in Madison Square Garden on December 8th. 'Planted' Sleuth Routs BanditsIn Drug Store Duel Two-gun Robber Empties Pistols at Cop, Proprietor; Flee as Officer Opens Fire. One Bandit Believed Wounded. "Planted" in a drug store at Fairview avenue and St. Clair street in anticipation of a hold-up, Detective James Mitchell late Tuesday night routed two bandits in a gun fight in which one bandit is believed to have been wounded. The detective, stationed in the prescription room, was helpless for a minute when the bandits entered the back room because A. B. Heinz, the proprietor, was between him and the two men. Bandits Blaze Away When Heinz failed to comply with an order to "put 'em up," one bandit armed with two revolvers, opened fire, bullets whistling past the proprietor's ears. Poor marksmanship saved him. After emptying the guns, the bandits fled through the front door, Detective Mitchell after them. Leaping into an automobile, the pair fled as Mitchell opened fire. Five shots blazed from the detective's gun, and the car zig-zagged east on St. Clair street, crashing into a telephone pole a block away. The car virtually was demolished, but the bandits escaped by running behind a house at 235 Baldwin street. Harry Carlson, a clerk, was in the front of the store when the men entered about 11 P. M. Heinz and Mitchell were seated in the prescription room. Without speaking, the two edged down the counter to the door of the back room, and, when asked by Carlson what they wanted, the bandit nearest the door pulled two guns and entered the back room, the other following. Heinz jumped up, coming between Detective Mitchell and the bandits. Evidently alarmed by the move, the man with the guns began shooting. None of the bullets took effect, however, and the two men fled out the front door, getting in a high-powered roadster parked in front. Mitchell followed them out, firing as they sped down St. Clair street. Less than a block away the car began to zigzag across the street, Mitchell said, and veered into a telephone pole at the intersection of St. Clair and Baldwin streets. The bandits ran north from the wrecked car. In February of this year the Fairview pharmacy was held up and $20 was obtained. If the raid had been successful Tuesday night, $100 would have been lost, Mr. Heinz stated. The many friends of Mr. L. W. Thompson, proprietor of the Wee Hour Inn, at Western and Rondo St., are sorry to learn that he has been quite ill and is confined to his room at the Keystone Hotel. Mr. F. K. Douglas of Kansas City was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. J. Homer Golns, 294 No. St. Albans St., on Thanksgiving. The afternoon was spent in card playing. Husband Late With Meal; Beaten by Wife Camden, N. J., Dec. 5.—With his head swathed in bandages, John Prozen, of 1929 Fillmore street, appeared in court and made a charge of assault and battery against his wife, Julia. The husband averred that she broke a pitcher over his head because he did not have dinner ready in time. Prozen complained that he has to dress six children, cook all the meals and do the housework in addition to working in a factory. Judge Clearly laid the case over until the warring couple could produce more witnesses. 'RACE PURITY'LAW HITS SNAG; WHITE MAN MAY WED GIRL Judge Assertes That Law Went Beyond the Bonds of Reason Despite a law of the State of Virginia, forbidding marriage of whites with people of Negro ancestry, Robert Painter, white, and Miss Atha Sorrell, whose grandmother was registered as "free colored," have by court action compelled the local court clerk to issue them a marriage license. In his decision, Judge Henry S. Holt of the Rockbridge Circuit Court, while upholding the general purpose of the Virginia law, asserted that it went beyond the bounds of reason, since it empowered clerks to withhold marriage licenses if they had reasons to believe one of the applicants to be "not of pure white race." Judge Holt pointed out that in 25 generations every person had 32 millions of grandfathers, not to speak of grandmothers, and that in his own case he could not prove the absence of other than Caucasian blood in his ancestry. "Again," says Judge Holt, "the statute undertakes to define with accuracy who are whites, and says that they only are white who are of pure Caucasian blood. That is a definition which in the present state of ethnology has no certain meaning and no meaning upon which two authorities agree." Mrs.A.B.Powell Dies After Long Illness Mrs. Anna B. Powell, beloved wife of Davis Powell, departed this life Tuesday, Nov. 14, at Ancker hospital, after a long illness. Deaceased had resided in St. Paul about six months, coming from Birmingham, Ala., to secure medical treatment. The funeral was held from the home of her sister, Mrs. Theodore Hardy, 979 Charles street, on Friday afternoon. Father Theobald of St. Peter Clavers Church officiated. Beautiful floral offerings were in evidence. The interment took place in Oakland cemetery. Mrs. Powell is survived by her husband, six children, three sisters, Mrs. Steele of Chicago, Mrs. Parhan of Birmingham, Mrs. Hardy of St. Paul, and two brothers who reside in Chicago. COLORED BISHOPS OF M. E. CHURCH TO VISIT HERE Bishop Mathew W. Clair, one of the Negro bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church, will visit Camphor Methodist Episcopal Church Dec. 20 and 21. Rev. E. E. King, minister of the church, and the trustee board are making special preparations for his entertainment. Bishop Clair is not only an outstanding figure in Methodism, but of the race. He is a great speaker and having had the contacts of the work of the church both in America and in Africa, is therefore able to put clearly before the public the work of the Methodist Episcopal Church at home and abroad. A banquet is being arranged for Saturday evening, Dec. 20, at which time Bishop Clair will speak on "Methodism and the Negro." Shop Every Week in the Bulletin-Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS URGED IN ANNUAL MESSAGE Says Race Should Be Protected Protected Especially From Crime of Lynching Washington, Dec. 3.—President Coolidge advised Congress in his annual message today that perhaps the most important work it can do at its present session is to practice such economy as to make possible a reduction of taxes for the next fiscal year. "The government can do more to remedy the economic ills of the people by a system of rigid economy in public expenditure," he said, "than can be accomplished through any other action." Although stressing economy, Mr. Coolidge presented a wide range of other recommendations, some new and others reiterations of proposals made a year ago in his first annual message. The president also urged that steps be taken to accord to the Negroes "their full constitutional rights, that they should be protected from all of those impositions to which from their position they naturally fall a prey, especially from the crime of lynching." Testimonial To Bulletin- Appeal Financial Success Testimonial To Bulletin- Appeal Financial Success The testimonial given by the Twin Cities citizens to the Bulletin-Appalachia at Union Hall Thanksgiving night was a financial success. Although the testimonial itself did not draw a large crowd on account of other numerous affairs that night, the many contribution prior to the testimonial made it a financial success. The program was an interesting one and was well handled by Dr. L. R. Hill, who acted as master of ceremonies. Moore's Celebrated Concert Orchestra rendered several selections which were well received. Mr. E. A. Carter spoke on "The newspaper as an asset to the community." Mr. S. E. Hall had as his subject "The Newspaper and the Church." Mr. A. V. Hall read an original poem entitled "A Prayer of Thanks." Mr. Raymond Cannon of Minneapolis spoke on "The Newspaper as an Interpreter of Ideals." Mr. Owen Howell, whose remarks concluded the program, spoke on "The New Bulletin-Appeal." Following the short program dancing was participated in to the strains of Moore's orchestra until midnight. The testimonial committee and the Bulletin-Appeal wish to thank all those who in any way contributed to the success of the affair. TWIN CITY NEWLYWEDS GUESTS OF DULUTH FOLK Mr. and Mrs. James Combs, whose wedding was a fashionable event on the 26th of November, spent their honeymoon in Duluth, Minn.

The Northwestern Bulletin- Appeal FOREIGN ADVERTISING REPRESENTATIVE: W. B. Ziff Company, 608 South Dearborn Street, Chicago, Ill. W. B. Ziff Company, 404 Morton Bldg., 116 East Nassau Street, New York, N. Y. Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879. Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS "First in Service" IS MISCEGENATION A CRIME? Recently a stir was created in the ultra circles of fashionable society in New York thru the announcement of the marriage of the scion of one of Gotham's oldest and wealthiest families to the daughter of a poor cab-driver and former gardener. The young man, whose inheritance runs into many millions of dollars, had been regarded last year at Newport, as the "catch of the season," by designing mothers with debutante daughters. But this man—old enough to have a mind of his own—escaped the wily matrons of society and made his own selection of a wife. He woed and won the heart of the cabman's daughter and they were united into the bonds of holy matrimony by an Episcopal rector, according to the law of the state and the rites of the church. The young people were very happy; they repaired to the home of the bride's parents for a short visit until they could arrange for a honey-moon trip abroad. Rumor, old dame rumor, with her nose ever to the ground soon became active. Her business is to blast reputations and take the joy out of life. The first thing she did was to find out what she didn't know about the obscure young woman; the status of the young man was already fixed by reason of the prominence of his family. But with the young woman it was different—she was poor, even the beautiful and well educated. She found this young bride to be the daughter of a naturalized West Indian, who had a tincture of Negro or Indian blood in his veins and a white woman, a native of England. At any rate it seems in his application for citizenship the bride's father in answer to the question of whether "white or colored," wrote colored. The old dame cooked up an awful mess. She broadcasted her discovery from the house tops and soon the ether was vieing with the wires in transmission of the shocking news. During the heat of the uproar the young man remained defiant, refusing to heed the protests of outraged society, friends and relatives, or to forsake the woman he professed to love. He was under the protection of the humble home of his father-in-law and was happy. But evil influences were at work. Power was exerted in some mysterious manner that caused the young groom to sign a complaint for annulment of the marriage on the ground that the bride misrepresented herself by saying she was a white person without taint of Negro blood, in which he was deceived. Leaving his wife for a few days, prior to the time the complaint was served, on the pretense that he was arranging a home for her, he talked with her by telephone in the most endearing words each day, promising they would soon be together. He accompanied two men to the house of his wife's parents, entering thru the kitchen where the wife was, he embraced her and kissed her cheek. At this moment of her joyful ecstacy she was served with the summons. Her husband immediately left with the men—his lawyer and a process server. The young woman swooned and fell to the floor in a faint. Counsel has been obtained and she will fight the allegations in the courts. She is determined not to surrender her lawful rights and will hold on to her husband. We quite agree with her not to surrender her lawful rights, but advise that she put the skids under her husband by filing divorce proceedings forthwith and exacting a substantial monetary settlement. He has proven himself utterly unworthy as a husband. Born to wealth, with its educational and cultural advantages, this man betrayed and deceived her, and as a climax to his fiendishness, placed upon her pretty face the kiss of Judas. Such a heartless brute might be expected to be found among the common poor and ignorant of mankind, but not among those who have had every advantage civilization has to offer. We come now to the subject matter. Is miscegenation a crime? If so, what is the punishment? "Of one blood God made all nations," so reads the scripture, and again it says, "that God is no respecter of persons." In our judgement the amalgamation of the races thru inter-marriage is not criminal, either in the eyes of God or man. It only becomes such in the absence of marriage. True, there are many states where marriages between white and black are forbidden by statute; however, in such states concubinage exists on a large scale with the resultant off-spring. This admixture is the work of the white man, with his superior attainments and education, and has been going on ever since the advent of slavery. The case of the principals involved in this mis-alliance—if the question of blood can be called such—is only incidental and concerns the individuals interested, nevertheless, it awakens in us a desire to speak plainly the truth in behalf of a race struggling to rise from brutal debauchery to a higher plane of living. Every Negro of mixed blood in this country, with but few exceptions, bears the imprint of a white man's licentious lust. Ethnologists trace the strain of blood from generation to generation, but that is a matter determined by science, and is true whether it is the blood of an Indian, an Asiatic, an African or any darker race, when commingled with the blood of the white race, yet it constitutes neither crime or sin when conformed by a union of man and wife according to law or custom. Had this young man been poor and ordinary nothing strange would have been thought about it. Only the fact of his prominence was it sufficient to creat a "sensation" by his marriage to a young woman, with a slight trace of Negro blood in her veins. That this happens to be true is unfortunate in her particular case, but she is blameless; what she is, is the work of God who created her, and we know that whatever God has done he pronounced as good. The press of the country has been teeming with news items regarding the young couple; efforts to rescue the man from seeming disgrace have been made, but not a word of sympathy for the woman; not a word of consolation has been extended by any white person as a balm to her injured pride and broken heart. She is refined and cultured with the sensibilities that naturally follow refinement and culture. This infinite outrage is possible in no other country in the world except in the United States of America. To condemn this young woman for marrying a scalawag, son of wealthy parents is un-christian and inhuman. In France, Germany, Spain, England or any of the Latin-American countries, nothing would have been said against such a contract or would it prove a barrier. We tremble at the thought of the punishment that will be meted to all who share the racial prejudice of the American mind at the final judgment. History points to Moses—God's own man—as having taken unto himself to wife an Ethiopian woman; surely she was not white. The Queen of Sheba, whose beauty and wealth charmed King Solomon in all his glory, was not white. The dazzling and radiant Cleopatra was of dark complexion. The great warrior, Hannibal, whose engineering skill in crossing the Alps with a victorious army caused Napolean to emulate him and do likewise a few centuries later, was not white. Pushkin, the famous Russian poet and writer was of mixed blood, Negro and white. Alexander Dumas' father and son, whose marvelous brain gave the world some of the most imaginative and historical books in literature, were of African and white blood. Frederick Douglas, the matchless orator, anti-slavery agitator, co-worker with Wendell Phillips, Garrison and Lovejoy, who told the story of the wrongs of human slavery with pathetic eloquence, was the son of a white man and a black woman. Unless the whites in this country show a broader and more tolerant spirit towards the nations of darker races, it will become decadent, disintegrate and disappear as the leader of mankind. Miscegenation is not a crime. The attitude of the Bulletin-Appeal is to keep the races pure; we do not advocate mixed marriages as a whole, but where they exist, we respect them without question. It is a matter for the individual and does not offer a problem to the race. The right to marry according to the dictates of one's choice is a sacred one and is as inviolate as the right to worship God as one's conscience may dictate. Again we say, "Miscegenation is not a crime." God will not be mocked. Educate All, Give Equal Chance, Says Former Amherst President Educate All, Give Equal Chance, Says Former Amherst President A challenge to America to educate all its people and give them an equal chance at life before it calls itself a democracy was made last week by Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn, former president of Amherst, in addressing students at Bryn Mawr college. "It is the theory of democracy that everyone should have a chance at life, but so many people seem barred from that chance from birth," said Dr. Meiklejohn. "The person who calls himself a democrat cannot bear it that children should from the start be doomed to grow into poor, mentally twisted, wretched human beings. "One of the most important things that has ever happened in human experience is the attempt of America to make democracy mean something." "It is the most daring adventure ever undertaken. It is the theory of the aristocrat that only the few trained for the task shall conduct the affairs of mankind. But the democrat says all may have a voice. Dullness A Great Sin "What, then, does democracy mean and how can it be made to work? "To practice democracy I think we must practice the virtues—and there are four. The first is taste, to be sensitive to what is going on. "I think the greatest sin in life is dullness. More of value is destroyed by dullness than by any other means.

"The second virtue is obstruc-tivity, and that divides itself into two other virtues, common sense and friendliness. The virtue of friendliness is this, that any given value in life is of as much importance to another person as it is to you. "It is a plain duty to seek the desirable things in life and friendliness means that we realize and are willing to extend to another person those great experiences that have been ours. Expressed in another way it means: 'Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thy self.'" "Democracy is an attempt of a group of people to live together and make a demand upon us for friendliness. It is commonly interpreted that democracy means that any man is at liberty to rise above his fellows if he can, but that theory is as selfish as the aristocratic one. It is a negative notion. "Neither is democracy the idea of losing oneself in service to others. Democracy does mean that everyone should have a chance at life an in order to have that he must have taste, an objective, common sense and friendliness.

So says the duke of Alba, who perhaps better than anyone else alive today ought to know, for he is the eighteenth direct descendant of Columbus. When the duke recently crossed Canada he was accompanied by Chief Buffalo Child Long Lance, a full-blooded Indian. To the chief the duke made his revelation about the false fame which, he says, attaches to the name of his distinguished ancestor. The chief tells about it in the following language: "One night, following a dinner aboard the duke of Alba's dinner in which he had bombarded me with his usual barrage of questions on western Canada, I sald to him: "I want to know something about Columbus. You have all of his personal records, and you must have something about him that no other person has." "The only fact that I have that is not included in school histories," he replied, "is the fact that Columbus did not discover America. I am including this in my latest historical work. Visita Wrecked Caravel. "Columbus was a poor, happy-golucky chap, with not the least idea of becoming an explorer until he struck upon that idea by the merest accident. At the age of forty he was living among the poor in the town of Funchar, when one day while walking along the beach he saw a wrecked caravel floating in from the sea. He found a dying man. Columbus made strenuous efforts to revive the man, but he recovered only sufficiently to say that he had been captain of a crew of sixteen that had gone out to sea on that caravel many months before. On the return journey some strange malady had struck them, and they had all died except himself. The man added: "...We were returning with a great secret. We found another land with strange people on it far across this sea." "Columbus went straight to the queen of Castile and the king of Aragon—who later married and caused the unification of Spain—and asked for a commission to raise a body of men for a foreign expedition. Only to the king and the queen did he divulge what the dying captain had told him. He further asked for financial assistance. The king of Aragon made him a substantial grant, as did Martini Pinthen, a wealthy Spanlord, after whom Columbus named one of his ships, La Pinta. Three Ships Purchased. Three Ships Purchased. "With the money he had raised Columbus bought three ships, the La Nina, La Pinta and Santa Maria, and started out on his strange voyage. Your own history tells you the rest. "Upon his return to Spain he wrote considerable data concerning the North American aborigines. He said of them: 'The Indians are a gentle people, without knowing what evil is, without killing, without stealing.'" "Following his discovery of America, if discovery it could be called, Columbus never became wealthy nor titled. He died 14 years later—in 1506—a man of fifty-five years of age in moderate circumstances. No one ever knew much about him. All he ever said of himself when questioned, was: 'I am a wanderer; born in Genoa, Italy.' It is generally believed, however, that he was a Jew.'" London.—Prohibition may or may not have been in effect 3,290 years ago, but recent gifts to the British museum indicate the ancient Egyptians were at least affected by a thirst for something stronger than 2.75 per cent beer. One of the gifts is a pottery pocket flask, similar in shape to those exhibited in the windows of many jewelers today and of sufficiently large capacity to gratify the most thirsty. The other consists of fragments of a great vessel upon which is boldly painted the inscription: "Beer Which Ignores Dreams." The inscription, in the form of early hieroglyphics, depicts a jar, with three strokes to indicate a number of jars; then the symbol for "ignores"—an owl representing knowledge and a pair of hands turned down to denote "nothing doing"—a chicken, denoting sound, and an eye, denoting wakefulness. Officials of the museum vouch for the translation of the devices. Other archeological finds have indicated, according to museum officials, that beer was the great beverage of the Egyptians 3,000 years ago. Forgot She Had $1,100 York, Pa.—While cleaning accumulated rubbish from the home of Catherine Rosenberger, an aged woman, workmen found $1,161 and some small change which the occupant of the house did not know she had. The money was found in stewpots and other containers mixed up with the rubbish. It has been deposited in a bank to the woman's name. Baby Is Strangled Duquol, Ill.—The four-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. George Germanovitz of Dowell died the other day when a toy balloon lodged in his throat as he attempted to blow it up. His efforts to dislodge the balloon inflated it, death resulting. ATTORNEYS HAMMOND TURNER LAWYER 306-7 McClure Bldg. Cedar 8190 Saint Paul J.

Cape Girardeau, Mo.—What engineers describe as the world's greatest drainage reclamation project is now nearing completion at an ultimate total cost of more than $50,000,000. Nearly 3,000,000 acres of swamp lands in the St. Francis river basin of southeastern Missouri and northeastern Arkansas will have been made tillable. Excavations will total upwards of 500,000,000 cubic yards, according to engineering estimates, or more than in the construction of the Panama canal. Lands which were virtually worthless now are valued at from $40 to $100 an acre. Corn, wheat, cotton and numerous other crops are successfully raised on the soils built up by deposits brought down by the Mississippi and other large rivers. With the removal of stagnant water the mosquito has disappeared, and with it malaria. Homeseekers have poured in by the thousands. The Little river drainage district, the largest ever organized, has authorized a new $5,000,000 bond issue to provide additional drainage and flood protection for its 500,000 acres. The plan originally adopted and carried out provided for the diversion of the water of the hill streams by digging a channel on the northern border of the district to the Mississippi river. This was paralleled by 40 miles of levee. More than 700 miles of ditches then were constructed to carry off the surface waters. These ditches, which are 100 feet wide and 15 feet deep, empty into Big lake, Arkansas. The cost of drainage has been met by bond issues, retired in 20 years by taxes levied on the lands according to benefit. The average cost has been around $20 an acre. + Just like his mother is little Adrian Primrose, seventeen months old, pictured above executing one of his difficult gymnastic stunts, the like of which have won him the name of world's strongest baby.

Jeff Davis Highway Now Is 3.417 Miles Long Savannah, Ga.—A total of 3,417 miles now is included in the Jefferson Davis highway, Mrs. John L. Woodbury, Louisville, Ky., reported to the United Daughters of the Confederacy. In asserting that the work of the committee, of which she is chairman, is to have parts of state road systems designated as the Jefferson Davis highway, to work for their development and to mark and beautify them. Mrs. Woodbury said there "is a wave of actual road construction which is country-wide and the time to locate and name our Jefferson Davis highway is right now." Among the states now directly interested in developing the highway within their borders are Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas and California. Traina De Luxe for India Calcutta.—It is understood here that trains de luxe, only comparable to the famous trains bleus running to the Riviera, are now in course of construction for the Peninsular and Oriental company for the purpose of carrying mails and passengers from Bombay to Calcutta. Hickman, Ky.—Workmen razing an old house here, built early in the Nineteenth century, found on each side of the chimney a walled-in compartment the size of a hen's nest. In each compartment was the carcass of a chicken, well preserved. Old residents expressed the opinion that the chickens had been walled in the chimney to counteract some superstition. FANEUIL HALL HAS BEEN "DOLLED UP" "Cradle of American Liberty" Renovated. Boston.—With the work of restoration virtually completed, Faneuil hall, the "Cradle of American Liberty," now stands as at first in simple dignity and beauty, the soft mellow red of the bricks admirably set off by the cream trimming of its woodwork, while the fresh gilding of the dome on the old belfry, with its copper sheathing and grasshopper weathervane, gleams brilliantly where before the dome was darkened with the green-black of corroded, smoke-stained copper. The most striking result, to the casual observer, says the Christian Science Monitor, is the restoration of the exterior. Here the many coats of unsightly yellow paint obscuring the brick walls have been removed by the sand-blast method, crumbling bricks have been replaced by others specially made to match the original, and the whole of the brickwork has been repainted and waterproofed. The window frames and casings have been restored, new casings and frames being called for in many cases, and painted white. Famous Features Preserved. For the rest of the exterior, crumbling stonework has been replaced, the old dilapidated canopy of wood and canvas has been torn away to make room for the new canopy of steel and concrete construction. The dome, with its grasshopper weather vane of sheet copper, is the work of Shem Drowne, made famous by Nathaniel Hawthorne's story, "Drowne's Wooden Image," one of the "Twice-Told Tales." A great number of small repairs and changes have been made, new footings have been put in, waterproofing and fireproofing carried throughout the building and the interior has been decorated. Paintings have been renovated and many other bits of repair work have been done, at an expense to the city of approximately $286,000, the total of the contracts awarded to A. Plotti, chief contractor, being $285,954. The total cost of the renovation will be about $315,000. Within the hall, the market has been floored with concrete, new refrigerating equipment has been installed, overhead sprinklers have been put in, the market and basement floor slabs have been waterproofed and general renovation has been completed. There was some sentiment at the time the restoration was begun in favor of removing the market from the lower floor of the hall and turning the entire building into a historical museum, but this was abandoned when examination of the terms of gift showed that Peter Faneuil, builder and donor of the hall, had stipulated in 1742 that the hall should always be used as a market and a place of public meeting. So, as the donor willed, the hall will remain. Fireproofing Installed. In carrying out the program of fireproofing throughout the building, the wooden pillars and columns have been replaced by steel or concrete, the floors have been relaid of concrete, automatic sprinklers have been installed in the small rooms of the upper floors, and a "water curtain" has been extended upward inside the outer walls. Scarcely any work was needed upon the outer walls, beyond the replacement of a few bricks and the filling of a few minor cracks. These walls, three feet in thickness, have stood firm since the construction of the building in 1762. The original Faneuil hall, built in 1742 by Peter Faneuil and given to the city, was burned in 1761. It was rebuilt in 1762 and dedicated "to the cause of liberty," March 14, 1763, James Otis being the principal speaker. The famous "Cradle of Liberty," in revolutionary days, was only half as wide as the present building, and a story lower. It was remodeled and enlarged in 1806, under the direction of Charles Bulfinch. Breed Chickens Immune From Auto Juggernaut Bloomburg, Pa.—"Automobile mortality" as one of the chief sources of loss to poultrymen is being fought by farmers of this region, and two protective steps are being taken. One is the removal of the chicken pens to points far distant from the road, and the other the breeding of birds that have shown, under observation, a readiness to stay on their own side of the road when an automobile comes along. Tests made with nearly 100 flocks of a certain breed revealed only a half dozen chickens which went across the road. With other breeds, there were less than a half dozen of entire flocks along the road which did not try to cross. Some of the farmers are not slow to realize the difference and are turning to those breeds which "stay put" and avoid the losses. On farms along main highways the losses to flocks from motor cars has been as high as 35 per cent. In some cases a single passing automobile has killed four chickens. Science Slow in Russia Moscow.--According to Professor Fersman of the Russian Academy of Sciences, who recently passed some time in Germany, scientific research work in that country has greatly declined, and in some ways is far below similar work in Russia. In the Scandinavian countries, on the other hand, the professor says, the progress of science has been very remarkable, especially abstract science. THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL CHECK RAINFALL BY OCEAN WARMTH Find New Way of Predicting Precipitation. San Diego, Cal.-There is a direct relation between the temperature of the ocean and the seasonal rainfall in the same region, according to George F. McEwen of the Biological Institute at La Jolla, Cal., who has reached this conclusion after extended research. Using this theory, Mr. McEwen has predicted that the rainfall in San Diego and vicinity this year would be five inches more than the average for the last eight years. According to the hypothesis, low summer temperatures in the ocean mean increased rainfall in the winter, and higher temperatures indicate less precipitation. "The moisture of the air over the North Pacific ocean," explained Mr. McEwen, "is continually replenished by evaporation from the ocean surface. The amount of the water vapor available for precipitation upon the land is proportioned to the mass of air flowing in from the ocean. "It has long been known that a high pressure area over the North Pacific, centered 1,000 miles or more west of San Luis Obispo, reaches its maximum intensity in late summer and diminishes till about February, when in some years it disappears entirely, and again increases to a summer maximum. Therefore a summer in which the ocean 'high' is relatively great should be followed by a relatively great transfer of air landward during the winter or rainy season. "Numerous barometric observations over the ocean, suitably distributed both in space and time, would serve to determine the amount of air forming the Pacific 'high'. Foreknowledge of the amount of air available for transfer landward would indicate in advance whether to expect a wet or dry season." Mr. McEwen said his observations had indicated that a change in ocean temperature of one degree Fahrenheit corresponded, on the average, to a difference of two inches in rain over the coastal region of southern California. This is Washington's only girl bank president—a pretty bobbed-halired girl, Miss Mildred Yates, whose bank has 200 depositors and $27,000 total deposits. Miss Yates is the president of Central High School bank and has on her staff ten girls and three boys. Depositors are students, members of the faculty, janitors and others connected with the school. Lodge Desk Long Used by Bay State Members Washington.—The desk in the senate chamber used by the late Senator Henry Cabot Lodge during many years of his service in that body was the same formerly used by two other distinguished senators from Massachusetts, Charles Sumner and George Frisbie Hoar. There is a report about the Capitol that at a time even earlier the Lodge desk was used by Daniel Webster. When the senate vacated the chamber now occupied by the Supreme court and moved to its present quarters in the new wing of the Capitol, the desks, including that which Senator Lodge used and which had long seen service, were retained. As new states were admitted into the Union and new senators entered the chamber desks of the same style were constructed for them. These relics are highly cherished by the senate, and it has been the unbroken rule, so far as the memory of the oldest senate employees runs, to refuse permission for the removal of any of them. PRESIDENT OF A BANK L ```markdown ``` Medina, N. Y.—A letter, written on March 13, 1804, by a Civil war soldier at Fort McHenry, Baltimore, Md., has just been received in Medina. The letter was written by James Fisk to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Fisk, and it has been delivered to his sister, Mrs. Sarah Smith of Shelby, a hamlet south of Medina, who now is eighty-four years old. The parents died long ago. The only explanation for the delay is that the letter was held for the censor and lald aside with army records and overlooked. BAG 3,000,000 RATS IN LONDON BATTLE All Classes Unite in Drive on Rodents. London.—Rats which infest old London houses, office buildings, restaurants, sewers and subways, and cost the city a million pounds annually in damage, had a hard time of it during "rat week" just ended. It was estimated that more than 3,000,000 rodents met death at the hands of professional rat catchers, school boys and girls and private citizens who hunted the pests out with every conceivable means. One vermin-chasing company alone was reported to have accounted for 800,000 rats. The press took up the campaign, and one enthusiastic writer asserted he had seen on moonlight nights whole companies of rats frolicking through Piccadilly. One hospital manager declared he had discovered tight-rope walking brown rats entering the hospital along electric light wires stretched from the roof across the street. London sanitation officials do not want the war on the rodents to end with the mere annihilation of 3,000,000, and they urge that the campaign be kept up until the body of London's last rat is given a place in the city museum. Eskimos Quit Work. Nome, Alaska.—Eskimos attracted by the movies, music and electric lights are beginning to flock here from native villages hundreds of miles distant. Just how many of the fur-clad folks will trek to this mecca and how long they will remain is a question of grave importance. The last boat from Seattle has sped away south to escape the ice floes. There are ample supplies of food and fuel here to last the average population for eight or nine months, supplemented, of course, by reindeer meat and wild game. But with the intrusion of from 500 to 1,000 Eskimos, all eager to buy American canned goods, candy, pictures, trinkets, clothing and fuel, the situation is critical. The magnet of civilization is drawing tribes from long distances. As winter continues, they are restless, and steer their dog and reindeer teams toward Nome. Every morning some new party looms up on the horizon to the northeast and nightfall sees another igloo erected along the frozen beach. The Eskimos are idling away their time. Instead of being out on the trap lines collecting white furs, there is a neglect everywhere. Truly, it seems, the white man and his ways are wrecking the Eskimo mode of self-sustenance just as surely as did the pioneer destroy the American Indian home. Made Millionaire by Oil, Farmer Prefers Wheat Witchita, Kan.—With the biggest oil gusher in Kansas pouring out high-gravity oil at the rate of 75 barrels an hour, W. G. Carson, sixty years old, Cowley county farmer, is worried about his wheat crop, disregarding the fast the well has made him a millipaire. "Don't let the goldarned think run wild and ruin a lot of wheat," he grumbled when the well came in. Then he went to bed. He stubbornly refuses to see the well. He had Mrs. Carson tell all callers he was ill. The callers mostly were royalty buyers, interested in obtaining a share of his eighth interest in the gusher. Carson until he was fifty was a bachelor. His wife is considerably younger and they have four children. She favors keeping the rights, believing greater profits are in sight, from which the children will benefit. The Carsons have more than 1,000 acres around the well, and a conservative estimate of their oil rights alone is $1,000,000. Dog Raising Profitable Cottonwood Falls, Kans. — That there is more money in raising thoroughbred Shepherd puppies for sale than in cattle just now is the opinion of Sidney B. Replogle, young farmer of this place. A few months ago he began raising Shepherd puppies. He now has 100 puppies, six weeks old, which are being sold from $30 to $35 apiece. 186,604,733 Acres of U. S. Public Lands Washington.—Unreserved unappropriated public lands, outside of Alaska, in the United States at the close of the last fiscal year totaled 186,604,733 acres, the Interior department announced. The public lands left of the vast domain formerly the property of the people which have been sold, leased or given away, are located in 24 states and are exclusive of forest reservations, Indian reservations, other reserved lands and the territory of Alaska. Nevada has the largest unappropriated public land area, with 52,282,278 acres, with Utah second, having 28,767,687 acres. Half of the 48 states no longer have public lands within their boundaries. There are 388,000,000 acres of unreserved public lands in Alaska. MAN FOUND DEAD, WOMAN OVERCOME IN ROOMING HOUSE BY ESCAPING GAS Rooming House Proprietor Held After Couple Is Found In Room One man is dead of gas poisoning and a woman is in critical condition at Ancker hospital while J. R. Lawrence, proprietor of a rooming house at 126 West Central avenue, is being held by police after an investigation into the death of the man at Lawrence's rooming house early Sunday morning. The dead man is Howard Taylor, said to be employed at a downtown club and who Lawrence says came to his place early Saturday night to ask for a room. He returned shortly to pay the room rent. Lawrence says the man then went to bed and that early in the morning he heard heavy breathing in Taylor's room and, going there, discovered Taylor dead in bed and the white woman unconscious from the effects of gas escaping from two open jets. Police found three .45 calibre bullets in Taylor's pocket, but failed to find a gun. At Ancker it was said that the woman may recover. Does It Pay? Advertising has made the Victrola Dog famous.
