His head was cut and bruised in the crash. He denied that he was a hero, but his wife, at his bedside, had no doubts about it whatever. Chippewa Falls, Wis., Dec. 24. A scrap of steel, no larger than a man's thumb, strained by the intense cold beyond the breaking point, gave way Saturday and by its yielding hurled into eternity the lives of eight persons, passengers aboard the east-bound Soo train No. 2. Eight others lie in St. Joseph's hospital. Some, it is feared, near death from exposure and shock; others, bereaved by loss of dear ones in the suddenness of grim tragedy, almost without the will to live. The combination dining and observation car of the train was the vehicle of sudden death that struck when a frozen switch bolt loosened as the train approached the quarter-mile trestle bridge that leads into town. The engine and passenger cars up front rode through the switch in safety. But their weight bearing down on the treachery of tired metal spread the rails. The combination car, last of the train, left the track a hundred yards west of the bridge, reeled drunkenly a moment swaying on the bridge approach, and then crashed downward sixty feet where icy water swirled its threat of fate. No Warning of Tragedy. There was no warning, hardly the space of a woman's scream. One instant within the car was gayety and Yuletide cheer, a merry group intent on visits home for Christmas chatting of toys and tokens borne to loved ones. In the observation car a man danced a child on his lap and smiled at the wife and mother as she sat at lunch. A second later and the landscape reeled. The woman sitting at the window screamed. The man, half-rising, shouted to the porter to release the air brakes. The child slipped from his grasp. The porter, paralyzed for a breath of time by fright, recovered, leaped frantically for the brakes, but was too late. Just for the fraction of a second the car clung dizzily on the trestle's side. More and more it wavered; then with a sudden plunge leaped downward where the waters eddying claimed their toll. The front wheels left the bridge --- BULLETIN-APPEAL PETER This is S. E. Curtis, chef on the train, and an overseas war veteran. He was working in the kitchen at the time the dining and observation car toppled over the bridge. He struck on his head, suffering severe lacerations and also several broken ribs. The next thing he knew he was in water up to his neck. Despite his injuries, however, his first thought was to save others. Near him were two women passengers, Mrs. M. L. Spencer, wife of the professor of journalism in the University of Washington, and Miss Marian Lawson, teacher at Menasha, Wis. They, too, were in water up to their necks. Mr. Curtis at once swam toward them and told them to grab him by the shoulders. He took them to the wreckage of the car where they remained until a boat arrived. They were the first two women rescued. Mr. Curtis is a nephew of Mrs. C. D. Jones, 1473 Charles St., St. Paul. Mrs. Jones returned from a visit to her nephew in the hospital at Chippewa Falls this morning. side first. The friction of the rear trucks spun the car body as a pitcher twists the ball for a curve and the great steel body turned completely over, its passengers thrown with it in the air. The roof struck the water first, front end down, the giant wheels still whirling uppermost. The shock of the water with its surface skum of ice broke the fall. Slowly, almost gently, the rear end of the car, the observation portion, settled down. Those riding there, who were rescued later, were conscious, they said, of no sharp jar. The sides of the car were scarcely bruised. Water Poured in Rapidly. Only the windows were crushed in and through them poured ice and water, in a second high as a man's shoulders in the car. From that moment none could tell clearly tonight just what took place. There was a mad scramble for the windows. (Continued on page 4) THE NORTHWESTERN We Need Your Support With the year 1925 the Bulletin-Appeal enters its 40th anniversary of existence. It has had a long tempestuous career, with the vicissitude that must be encountered in a venture of Negro journalism, due to lack of appreciation and financial support. This condition will exist until the race realizes the value of a representative newspaper in the community where it resides. We have given conscientious service at all times. We have, in the past, fought your battles with all the force we could command for right and justice. It gives us satisfaction to say that our fighting has not been in vain or without beneficial results. Ours has been the voice in the wilderness crying aloud against unreasonable treatment and outrage. The Negro is not without friends among the dominant race in the state and nation. When appealed to for help, they have never been found wanting. They make it possible for the existence of the paper—your paper—that you fail to support. They subscribe for it and give us advertising patronage. They give us praise and encouragement for our endeavors. It takes money to get out a newspaper. We are frank in stating, regretfully, however, that the Bulletin-Appeal is not on a paying or even self-sustaining basis. The publisher has to meet personally a deficit with each issue. We have never aspired to make money out of the newspaper business. To render service to the race by placing in the field of journalism a creditable paper, one that should command respect and support, has been more the object of the publisher than financial gain. We have done our part and will continue to do it. We expect you to do yours. A short time ago a testimonial benefit was tendered us under the direction of the faithful and true public-spirited friends, upon whose shoulders the burden always rests, in efforts for race advancement, for which we were grateful; but the great majority of you failed to respond to their earnest appeal. This is your paper—your weapon of defense in time of trouble. We chronicle your social, civic, club, lodge and church news; your marriages and obituaries, gratitudiously, and at a cost of time and carfare. It is the medium through which you keep posted on the activities of the race at home and elsewhere. We have a competent, energetic staff, and our editors are tere, inspiring, educational. We are not as yet a paragon of perfection. Typographical mistakes occur as they do in all publications. But the general "make-up" of the Bulletin-Appeal is good. We want you to appreciate the fact that we are giving you a clean, clear-cut, home paper. We challenge comparison with any race paper of four pages in the country for live matter or fearlessness editorially. However, there is room for improvement, and to this end your criticism is invited. It may stimulate us to greater effort. We contemplate several new departments early in the new year. These changes will of necessity add to the cost of production without an increase in revenue. We are undertaking this venture for your benefit—that we may better serve you. We are doing our part. Will you do yours? It takes money to keep a newspaper going. Is there any reason why you should not subscribe for this paper? Is there any reason under the sun, if in business, why you should not advertise with us? If you are not devoid of race pride you will do both. The white merchant buys our advertising space. Are you not willing to do as much? You may think that you do not have to advertise your business, because it is well established. But are you better established than those that advertise with us? Henry Ford finds it necessary to advertise his cars constantly to keep his sales ahead of production. What would happen to the great railroads, the milling industry, "Cream of Wheat," "Uneeda Biscuit," Armour, Swift and the automobile manufacturers, if they ceased to advertise? They would be forced out of business. The business man that refuses to advertise is headed for bankruptcy. He is not progressive. We need your subscription and we need your advertising patronage for the new year. Secretary Hoover has said that we are on the verge of an era of unparelleled prosperity. Why not take advantage of our importunity and keep your head and business abreast of the times? Don't be a race slacker. You have too much at stake not to be willing to contribute a small tribute to the support of your paper. Your rights and your children's rights require vigilant protection. We are playing the game of living under adverse conditions manfully. We have to fight proscription. We do not intend to surrender until matters are righted. Our flag is up to remain indefinitely. We are members of the Negro race—our complexion is dark. For thus are we despised, notwithstanding that we were created in the likeness and image of God, in whose hands our destiny lies. Give us the support we need for 1925. THE FOLLOWING PHOTO IS A PHOTO OF JOHN W. HARRIS, A FILM MAKER AND A FILM EDITOR. Wishing From A B Prosperous Dr. Earl 203 Dakota Bldg.

C., Dec. 24.—The Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, which meets in its thirteenth annual convention in Washington, D. C., December 27 to 31, will be received by President Coolidge on Monday, December 29. President Coolidge has on every occasion expressed himself as deeply sympathetic with the program of higher education for the colored race. His letter of endorsement to the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity on their national Go to High School-Go to College movement received much publicity through both the colored and white press. He has also been liberal in his recommendations for Congressional support of Negro education. This is his first opportunity to greet a convention of colored college men and it is expected that he will take this occasion to express himself on the organization of college trained men for effective race leadership.

Reward Offered for Lynchers of Negro Jefferson City, Mo., Dec. 24.—A reward of $300 has been offered by Gov. Hyde for the arrest and conviction of the leaders of a mob which hanged Roosevelt Grigsby, 20-year-old Negro, at Charleston, Mo., Thursday night. The Negro, who had been identified as the man who attempted to attack a 15-year-old white girl, was dragged from the sheriff's office by a mob of 200 men and hung to a post. The body was then riddled with bullets, dragged through the streets and burned. No one attempted to interfere with the mob's action. The Negro had been positively identified by the girl, it was said. Due to the popular demand and requests for another Breakfast dance, the Clet Club has obtained the Plymouth Auditorium, 3rd St. and Plymouth Ave. No., a new hall, in fact one of the finest in the Northwest, for their 2nd annual New Year's Breakfast Dance on Thursday morning at 3 A.

Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS PROMISESTO STAR RACE INVESTORS IN MOVIES HOAX Thousands Tricked by Loud Clothes and Smooth Tongue of Colored Promoter. St. Louis, Mo. (Pacific Coast News Bureau).—Visions of movie careers in which 400 colored investors of St. Louis pictured themselves riding in limousines and chatting intimately with the famous stars of Hollywood, vanquished recently when Al. Edwards, a fake Negro promoter, departed for parts unknown, leaving his future movie stars the following note: "To all my movie stars and my many colored friends of this most splendid city, St. Louis, I wish to thank you, one and all, for generous contributions. My only regret is I cannot personally appear before you each and every one and thank you personally. I could, but I can't, because I am gone, just gone. You may sing this, too: 'He Come and Stole My Confidence, etc.'" According to "Variety." Edwards arrived in the Black Belt and announced he was general manager of the greatest Negro moving picture company in the world. Edwards backed up his announcement with loud clothes and a smooth tongue. He opened an office and sent out word he needed 100 "beautiful Negroes" for a film entitled "Jingle of the Jungles." A day or two later his office was crowded with applicants. Edwards explained it would be necessary to charge each $1.50 to assure their sincerity and that they would show up when the special train pulled out for Hollywood, California. More money rolled in until Edwards finally left word he would be waiting for his future movie stars on the special train which departed at 7:13. On his desk in the office he left the above note for his secretary." Enraged at the increased stock selling activities of various fake promoters throughout the country, the various film organizations, the California State Bureau of Labor and the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce are continually sending out warnings to the public. Last week Deputy Labor Commissioner of California ordered the Kahn Kid Komedy Co. to pay wage claims of $212.50 for services of children whose parents had bought stock in the organization under an agreement that their little ones would be employed. Of the 25,000 persons who are listed at the various studio employment agencies in Los Angeles, only one out of every 600 has a possible chance of steady employment as a movie actor. And out of this 25,000 there are only 45 colored film actors who make their entire living from employment in pictures, and not one of them was asked to invest or owns a single share of stock in the companies in which he is employed.

In a few days it will get to 2525. It will become a memory for the life there generations yet unborn, who are to come to greater fulfillment after the present to function in the affairs of life. This will be the cause for regret, since it is in line with how every thoughtful human being shows it has taken in its constructiveness. This report have been of a high order.

Let us have a broad base. The dawn of better things is almost here will dispel every seeming problem—euducie—and all things will be made easier. The country we live in, have a clearer eye in the way of government, prosperity any year in the world's history. The Blessing's greeting: The present year is drawing to a close, enfeebled by great activities; its force is spent. In a few days it will give way to its successor, 1925. It will become a memory for the living and history for future generations yet unborn, who are to carry the torch of civilization to greater fulfillment after the present generation has ceased to function in the affairs of life. This fact, however, should not be cause for regret, since it is in line with nature's inexorable law. Every thoughtful human being should rejoice in the part he has taken in its constructiveness. This he can do only when his efforts have been of a high order. Efforts to achieve, free from selfishness, the things worthwhile are worthy of accomplishment. To the Negro, who is doing his share, in the relentless march of progress, it is important that he gives good account of himself. The year has been fraught of much that will benefit mankind, through scientific invention and discovery. The overcoming of disease, the mastery of the air, wireless photography, the dream of the alchemist realized by the transmutation of base metal into pure gold, are a few of the achievements that have leaped from the brain of man within the space of the current year. Geology has brought forth new minerals. The spade and pick have uncovered and given an intimate knowledge of civilizations, fossils of reptiles and animals heretofore unknown. The discovery of Helium, the non-explosive gas that makes dirigible air craft immune from incendiary bullet or accidental inflammation, by a Swedish astronomer, a little more than fifty years ago, gave to the world of chemistry a new element. Jannsen found it in the solar spectrum and savants little dreamed that it would ever be of practical benefit at the time of its discovery. Today it is found in at least seven states in this country in natural gas fields at a cost for extraction of only a few cents per cubic foot, which gives this favored land almost a monopoly of the world's supply. From the realm of the astronomer it has become a part of the domain of the geologist. Our own noted scientist, Dr. Carver, has worked wonders from the sweet potato and peanut. He has discovered a blue pigment from clay that will be known as "Egyptian blue." Scientists have been at a loss to find a duplicate color of the blue paint found on the caskets containing mummies of Egyptians. It has remained for Dr. Carver to exact the secret from the unknown force that guides his marvelous work. The discovery by Dr. Carver is not without importance. Manufacturers of textiles, silks, woolens, etc., are ever ready to make use of something new in the line of color. It is not unlikely that "Egyptian blue" will find its way to the fashionable marts and adorn the latest modes of ware. In the field of education, mankind as a whole has advanced. However, in the matter of ethics, progress has been slow. We have mastered much, yet failed to master ourselves in a measure. The Negro still has to confront an insupportable and unreasonable opposition. The white man's prejudice must be met on every hand. That this should be true is unfortunate for both white and black. In the United States things move rapidly; production is on a large scale, whether it be machinery or crops. But there is nothing manufactured or grown in this fertile land that equals the growth of racial prejudice. It grows faster than Canadian thistle, and is about as useless. Under the present conditions we admonish the Negro to continue to do his part well; to acquire education, cultivate morals, learn useful trades and professions, the science of business and thrift. The matter of home ownership is most important. To buy a home is the first step toward citizenship; you become a stockholder in the body corporate of the city you live in and have a legal, constitutional right to participate in the affairs of such corporation. With the coming year, let us be more united, acting as a whole instead of as a unit. The welfare of the race should at all times be considered in whatever we undertake to do. We must do all things unto God for His glory, thus effacing individual selfishness. Our clergy are doing their part valiantly, along with our civic and social leaders, to lift us to a higher standard of living. They need our unfaltering support, moral and financial. We should remember that when we help others in a good cause we are helping ourselves. Let us have a broader faith and a greater hope. The dawn of better things is almost here; its glorious sunshine will dispel every seeming problem—even the white brother's prejudice—and all things will be made anew. The world we inhabit, the country we live in, have a clearer outlook for the coming year, in the way of government, prosperity and brotherhood, than any year in the world's history.

Read Your Race Paper THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL Kiddie Kars ALM Sixth at Cedar PANAMA CANAL'S NET REVENUE $17,209,572 Earnings of Railroad Bring Total to $18,254,459. Washington.—The fiscal year ended June 30 was the most prosperous in the history of the Panama canal. The total net revenue mounted to $17,200,-572 and to this peak figure, representing the profits of the waterway itself and business operations in connection with canal activities, was added the sum of $1,044,887, earned by the Panama railroad, bringing the combined net revenue to $18,254,450. Comparative figures also are disclosed by former Governor Jay J. Morrow in his annual report to the secretary of war, prepared by him before he resigned that office and made public by the War department. The tabulation shows that the income from tolls and miscellaneous receipts was $16,307,984, as compared with $10,001,966 for the preceding operations, including machine shops, commissaries, coaling plants, the cattle industry, storehouses, fuel oil plants, etc., netted $1,044,887, as compared with $922,171 in 1923 5,230 Ships Pass Through. The number of ships in transit during the fiscal time period reported, exclusive of American toll-exempt craft and others allowed free passage through the canal, was 5,230. Their net tonnage was 26,148,878 and tolls collected aggregated $24,290,963, exceeding by 38.7 per cent the tolls collected in 1923. Governor Morrow explained that the "high figures" for 1924 were due in part to heavy oil shipments from California. "These began in September, 1922," he said, "and reached their peak one year later, in September, 1923, when 909,879 tons of California crude oil passed through the canal. Declining gradually from that date, these cargos in June, 1924, totaled only 453,945 tons, and a further shrinkage is expected. Owing to the loss of this oil business it is possible that the record of 1924 will not be equated in 1925, but there is a constant growth in other directions which tends to make good the loss in oil. Excluding California oil altogether, the cargo in transit through the Panama canal in 1923 was 15,878,826 tons, and in 1924 it was 18,439,700 tons. The report further showed there were 21 flags represented in the canal traffic and that in terms of cargo carried the American colors led all others, with 61.7 per cent of the total. Great Britain was second with 22.4 per cent, Japan third with 3.5. Germany fourth with 2.7 and Norway fifth with 2 per cent. British, Chilean, Danish, French, German, Dutch, Italian and Swedish ships showed gains in cargo tonnage while those of Japan, Norway and Peru fell below the 1923 figures. "The Argentine, Belgian and Costa Rican flags, which appeared on the 1923 list," the report said, "were not seen at the canal in 1924. On the other hand, the flags of the free city of Danzig, Ecuador, Finland and Jugo-Slavia appeared in 1924, but not in 1923." An examination of tables given in the report, in which traffic is segregated by trade routes, shows that the United States intercoastal trade furnished an even 50 per cent of all cargo passing through the canal in 1924 and that four other major trades accounted for 35.5 per cent additional. These were the trades between Europe and the Pacific coast of North America, 11.5 per cent; between the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America, 10 per cent; between Europe and South America, 7.4 per cent, and between the United States and the Far East, 6.6 per cent. In this connection, the report said: "All of the major trades show an increase over 1923, with the single exception of the trade between the United States and the Far East, in which there was a slight decline. "The cargo moving in the United States intercoastal trade increased from 8,068,553 tons to 13,527,378 tons, or 60.7 per cent. In the trade between Europe and the Pacific coast of North America there was an increase from 2,511,791 tons to 3,113,036 tons, or 23.9 per cent. In the trade between the east coast of the United States and the west coast of South America the increase was from 2,054,523 tons to 2,702,624 tons, or 31.5 per cent. "In the trade between Europe and South America the 1239 cargo tonnage was 1,749,986, and in 1924 it was 2,005,857, an increase of 14.6 per cent. In the combined minor trade routes there was an increase from 3,273,737 tons to 3,847,532 tons, or 17.5 per cent. The only decline, as previously noted, was in the trade between the United States and the Far East, where 1,798,278 tons were handled in 1924, as compared with 1,909,285 tons in 1923, a loss of 5.8 per cent. "Of the total west-bound cargo 69.6 per cent was shipped from United States ports and 42.6 per cent consigned to United States ports. Of the total east-bound cargo 67.9 per cent was shipped from United States ports and 72.2 per cent consigned to United States ports." Receiver Holds Church Paris.—The famous Russian church in the Rue Daru has been placed in the hands of a receiver pending legal decision as to its ownership. The church is claimed both by the Russian Soviet government and by the parish council to which it was turned over last year by M. Maklakoff, Russian ambassador under the Kereusky regime. Only Hazy Memory Now Remains of Brave Deeds. Washington.—Those men who came back from the baptism of fire in France six years ago, heroes for a fleeting hour, have meted into the mass of humanity from which they stood apart gloriously for a brief moment, and are as completely out of the picture as if there had never been a war. In the thick book in the voluminous files of the War department their names can be found—those whose conspicuous bravery brought recognition from their own government and others. But in the minds of their countrymen only a hazy memory remains. Six years ago, the name of Maj. Charles W. Whittlesey was on millions of tongues, the hero of the "lost battallion"—"Go-to-Hell Whittlesey"—who refused to surrender his command when it was cut off for five days without support in Argonne forest, under heavy fire. Melancholy, he jumped from a liner at sea, vanished from life and men. Maj. Gen. William Haan, commander of the Thirty-second division, a National Guard outfit, died, a victim of disease, leaving a record of conspicuous bravery in action, and a wisdom at the council table. Those other heroes whose names were watchwords for a time have dropped from notice. Two of them are back on the farm. Sergt. Alvin York, who captured 120 Germans, is back in Tennessee. Just across the line in Kentucky, at Devil's Jump Branch, Breaththit county, another hero is living the quiet life of a farmer. Sergt. Willie Sandlin perhaps recalls how, on a rainy day, he felt, at Bois de Forges, France, when he advanced alone on three German machine gun nests with bullets flying all around, and hurled the grenades which tore into pieces the enemy crews which were holding up the advance. In the same state, at Lexington, lives Sergt. Samuel Woodfill, who was acclaimed the outstanding hero of the American forces, for his part in silencing three machine gun nests one after the other, killing eleven men and capturing others. The foremost American air ace, Capt. Eddie V. Rickenbacker, has settled down to a prosalic life in the automobile business in Detroit. Some of his comrades, like Kipling's sergeant, are still in the army. Sergt. Frank Hunter, credited with nine planes, and Capts. Arthur D. Brooks, Martinus E. Stenseth and Arthur E. Easterbrook, all with six victories on the records, are still in the service. Holds Court Can't Save Life Against Man's Will Murphysboro—Can a court save a man's life, against his will, by ordering a surgical operation? State's Attorney John H. Searing decided that such action does not lie within the jurisdiction of the court, in an opinion in a case placed before him. Dr. O. House of De Soto recently came to Murphysboro to obtain, if possible, an order for the amputation of a patient's arm. The patient, Charlie Counze, was wounded in the arm on a hunting expedition and the wound became infected. Doctor House, who had charge of the case, judged that amputation was the only sure means of checking the poison and saving the patient's life. Young Counze refused to undergo an operation, and the doctor came to see the state's attorney for advice. In the meantime the patient moved to Missouri, where he is under the care of his mother, and no further reports of his condition have been received. A similar case ended in the death of the patient in St. Louis. Michael J. Mulcahey, a railroad engineer living here, suffered a bruise which became infected, and the doctors in the St. Louis hospital, where he was taken, decided upon amputation of Mulcahey's leg. Mulcahey refused to consent to such an operation, and died in the hospital early this month. Straw Hat Output in Two Years Brings $32,534,763 Washington.—Sol, the silent partner of all straw hat manufacturers, proved his worth during the last two years by increasing the returns from the hotweather headgear 13.7 per cent over the preceding biennial period. The Department of Commerce announced that straw hat production exclusive of trimmed hats for women and children, was valued at $32,534,763 for the two-year period since 1921. Who Served 30 Years Paris—Marie, cook and maid of all work for the actor, Ed ouard de Max, is to be pensloned by the Comedie Française. She took care of her eratic and prodigal master some thirty years, during which she saw him give away 1,000-franc notes and often had to fight off bill collectors. Her master never forgot to aid his poor comrades, but seldom remembered to pay Marie her wages, which his friends say were 44,000 francs in arrears when he died recently.

Jackson as director, is progressing and much credit is due to him for his untiring efforts. After prayers were read and hymns were sung, Rev. A. H. Lealatd with his two assistants administered "Holy Communion," which proved to be a wonderfully solemn and beautiful service. There were a number of visitors in the congregation who were deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Mrs. Wm. Griffin, who has been the guest of Mrs. Geo.

Washington,—"There is almost total lack of "systematic effort to secure accurate and complete data regarding traffic accidents, their types and causes, and methods of prevention," declares the Committee on Statistics of the Conference on Street and Highway Safety, in a report to Secretary of Commerce Hoover based on a thorough survey which revealed an annual loss in the United States due to street and highway accidents in 1923 of 22,600 persons killed, 678,000 serious injuries and an economic loss of $600,000,000. The committee's report shows that there were more than twice as many casualties in street and highway accidents in the United States during 1923 than there were for the United States army at home and abroad in the World war. The highway and street casualties include "killed and seriously injured." This takes no account of minor accidents. The report also shows that there were only 14,216 more of our men killed in action in the World war than in street and highway accidents in 1923. In states where centralized agencies have been created to investigate such accidents, it has been possible to attempt a systematic remedy of the conditions. But 34 states have no adequate system for securing such information and in few states is any record kept except where death or serious personal injury result from traffic accidents. Committee's Recommendations. Such facts, the committee says, "are fundamental to the adoption of adequate methods of traffic control. If the present situation is to be improved." And the committee's recommendations provide that: "Statistics regarding street and highway accidents are so vital to any comprehensive understanding and treatment of the safety problem that their collection and analysis in every state and community is essential. "Where such do not exist, statutes should be passed in every state which should make it the specific business of some state agency, preferably that clothed with authority to issue and revoke licenses, to receive traffic accident reports and investigate all such accidents, whether occurring within or without the corporate limits of municipalities. "It should be made, by law, obligatory for those concerned to report all traffic accidents, and an adequate penalty for failure to report should be provided. "Reasonable uniformity in reporting and tabulating data is essential, and some competent body should undertake the compilation of standard definitions of terms. "Sufficiently detailed information should be gathered to indicate clearly whether the accidents occurred because of: Recklessness, carelessness or incapacity of persons; fault of mechanism of vehicle; physical conditions of the locality where the accident occurred. Urges Spot Maps. The committee includes 18 items of information which should be obtained to constitute an adequate report. Spot maps, to detect danger points and to serve as a basis for remedial action, should be maintained. The experience of the committee led its members to express the hope that its report "will lead to improvement in the field of traffic accident reporting; that it will stimulate the governmental agencies and the various private organizations interested to a more intensive study . . . and greater efforts." In its study of fatal accidents the committee found from the records of the census bureau that highway fatalities are growing at a more rapid rate than accidental deaths from all causes and that automobile fatalities are growing more rapidly than highway fatalities as a whole. For example, the total number of accidental deaths increased 10.7 per cent between 1922 and 1923, whereas the total number of highway fatalities increased 17.8 per cent, and automobile fatalities increased 20.3 per cent. Westminster Cathedral to Have Open-Air Altar London.—An open-air altar and pulpit equipped with loud speakers is being erected just outside Westminster cathedral, so that thousands of persons participating in processions and overflow meetings will be able to hear the preacher's voice. Cardinal Bourne, making this announcement at the annual meeting of the Catholic Evidence guild, said the cathedral was not sufficient on certain occasions of the year, and that the whole of the land around the cathedral would be leveled and cleared to provide for overflow meetings. Horse Finda Mate Atchison, Kans.—There apparently is such a thing as horse sense after all. A horse belonging to James Wagner, Atchison county farmer, became imprisoned in a deserted barn. For three days the horse was missing, until Wagner became attracted by the fact that the horse's mate continued to peer through the cracks in the old barn, and found the horse imprisoned inside. To Entertain Host of Editors At Annual Meet Argus Hall and Poro College Engaged to House Meeting. St. Louis, Mo. (Special),—Continued plans for the entertainment of the newspaper men that are to gather here in February are well under way. Mr. J. E. Mitchell, the chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Press Association and Editor of the St. Louis Argus of this city, has already begun work among the local business and professional men of the city to give a cordial reception to the visiting editors, managers and representatives. While no definite plans have been announced as to what the local committee would do, it is believed here that the sessions are to be held in the Argus Hall on the third floor of the Argus Building and that night sessions and special meetings will be held at the Poro College and at some of the churches. Editors from New England, from the far North and extreme West and South have signified to Chairman Mitchell that it is their plan to be present. Mr. B. J. Davis, the president of the association, believes that it will be a general awakening of interest in Journalism now that the national election is out of the way and the Republican party has emerged triumphantly by electing an executive whom the American people can trust. The President believes that the restoration of confidence has been established and that the members of the press will take advantage of this period. The Christmas Ball of the Minnehaha Temple of Daughter Elks was attended by a large crowd of Christmas merrymakers. The Cato Temple, A. A. O. N. S., Mystic Shrine, gave their annual ball Monday evening, Dec. 22nd, at South Side Auditorium, which was a grand success. Music was furnished by the famous "Short Neck Orchestra." The officers who attended were: Isis Lady Nobles: Chief Commandress, Miss Willa Taylor; Mrs. D. A. Rose, Odessa Blivens, and Mrs. Hoskins. Miss Taylor and all the ladies looked exceptionally fine in their Fezzes. Joel M. Pope, Potentate; W. B. Hatch, Secretary. Mrs. Ralph Ward, 426 St. Anthony Ave., is recovering from an attack of pleurisy. A Christmas tree and exercises by the children will be held on Monday afternoon, Dec. 29th, at 4:00 o'clock, in the guild room of St. Phillip's Church. Nellie Jay and her "Jay Birds," the latter eight beautiful girls who sing and play various musical instruments, comprising one of the most popular singing orchestras in vaudeville, will headline the New Year bill at the Seventh Street theater, beginning tomorrow afternoon. Also featured on the bill is Marietta Craig, who was a Minneapolis school teacher before she entered upon a stage career. Following her success as "Lizzie," the comedy character in "The Bat," Miss Craig wrote her own vehicle for vaudeville, "Batty," a travesty on the great mystery play. She is assisted by a company of four. Other acts include Joe Lane and Pearl Harper, who introduce a baseball game in their "Bits of Wit"; George Wagner and Lela Leta in "Foolin," a comedy skit by John P. Medbury; Lucy Gillett, "the world's greatest woman juggler," and Bob Gillette, clown and eccentric dancer, and Charles Kenna, comedian-monologist. The feature film will be Richard Talmadge in "On Time." KAPPA ALPHA PSI (Continued from page 1) distinguished Negroes of which this fraternity can boast. After the audience with President Coolidge the delegates and members of the fraternity in attendance on the convention will go to the Arlington National cemetery where they will place a wreath on the tombs of the Unknown Soldier and of Colonel Charles Young. Five hundred and sixty members of the Omega Psi Fraternity served in the recent war and the wreath to be placed on the tomb of the Unknown Hero will be particularly a tribute to Omega men who made the supreme sacrifice.

BLAIR safety reached down and helped the others up. For those who had been injured in the first plunge down there was no hope. The water hurtling through the car swept bodies through the shattered panes. Even for those who struggled to the top, death played a waiting game. It was minutes only before help came, some boys rowing along the river side and firemen with their ladders reaching down from atop the bridge were prompt, but to those clinging there on the wrecked car top, their clothing drenched, near perishing with cold, it seemed an age. John Lewis, 895 W. Central Ave., and S. E. Curtis, 1473 Charles, observation car porter and chef, respectively, were heroes in the tragedy. Though stunned by the suddenness of the car plunge and chilled by the ice waters of the Chippewa river, the two men standing in water up to their necks, disregarding their own injuries, assisted in rescuing many persons less fortunate. Lewis' hanus were frozen and his head was cut and bruised in the crash. Curtis was struck on the head suffering severe lacerations and also several broken ribs. They were taken to the hospital. ```markdown ``` Colored Men Heroes. Wishing You A Bright and Happy New Year Compliments of Dr. L. F.

The Negro, who gave his name as John Clark, is said to have come to words with Davidson in a resort here when the latter objected to his attention to a French girl. Davidson became enraged and attempted to hit the Negro with a wine flask, when the girl objected to his interference. In the scuffle that followed, Clark drew a pistol, which was accidentally discharged, killing a Frenchman, Andrew Carriere. It was then that Davidson mounted a table and began his poisonous harangue. He was struck in the head with a bottle, kicked and beaten, and was only saved by the timely intervention of the police. --- A. BLAIR J.
