RHINELANDER MUST PAY ALIMONY VOLUME III, NO. 38 L.C.DYER SENDS N.A.A.C.P.$50 LAUDS SERVICE L.C.DYER SENDS N.A.A.C.P.$50 LAUDS SERVICE Congressman Renews Annual Subscription and Writes Association Letter. Congressman Leonidas C. Dyer of Missouri, sponsor of the Anti-Lynching Bill bearing his name, has renewed his annual subscription of $50 to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, and has written the following letter, in which he touches on the prospects of the Anti-Lynching Bill: "I want to do the same as I did last year. Hence, I am enclosing a check for $50. The splendid results that you are obtaining should secure for you the help of all good citizens. "The Anti-Lynching Bill should become a law without delay. The House of Representatives is for it and will pass it any time there is any assurance at all that the Senate will do likewise. President Coolidge is for it and will sign the Bill if Congress passes it. Hence, our only difficulty is with the Senate. I think, through your organization, these facts should be given wide publicity, so that the people generally can see for themselves that the failure in this respect is due entirely and absolutely to the United States Senate. The best way is for the Senate to take this matter up themselves, through one of their members introducing an Anti-Lynching Bill. When they have passed it, the House will do likewise again, without any delay at all. The President will then sign it. "Wishing you and all of your associates a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, I am Yours very truly, (Signed) L. C. DYER." The N. A. A. C. P. is already taking steps to procure the introduction in the Senate of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, as recommended in Mr. Dyer's letter. Mr. Dyer is one of the staunch friends of the N. A. A. C. P., publicly calling attention to its achievements, and giving of his own time and money to further its work. Race Architect Competes for $300,000 Prize (Pacific Coast News Bureau) Los Angeles, Cal.—Over a quarter of a million dollars is the price to be paid the successful architect who is awarded the contract for drawing up the plans for the new $5,000,000 City Hall. With the assistance of an advising architect, not residing in the state and whose salary will be $5,000 plus expenses, the city will select four architects, not connected with the contest, as jurors. They will each receive a fee of $1,000 plus expenses. All the architects of the state will be invited to compete and the winning architect will receive a contract on a percentage basis estimated to be worth $300,000. Paul R. Williams, winner of the Beaux Arts Institute of Architects, is one of the contestants. Williams' entry into the contest has created great concern among his many white competitors due to the fact that he has a reputation of winning all competitions in which he enters. He has won three National and four Western architectural competitions; and recently his design for a Civic Center was accepted by a Western city of 30,000 inhabitants. Chicago, Dec. 30.—Roscoe Conklin Simmons, the great orator and journalist, has announced his coming marriage to Miss Charlotte Clayton Ebbs of Louisville, Ky. The bride-to-be is acclaimed the most beautiful lady in Louisville. She has been one of the popular young school teachers of that city. The couple will reside in a costly mansion at 2253 Indiana avenue. THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN-APPEAL White Southerner Dupe of Negro Says Writer in American Mercury Cars Had'Mean' Scenery Asserts Man Run Over New York, Dec. 30.—While leaving a subway train, Bert Somerall, 29, of 220 W. 62nd street, slipped and fell from the platform at the 66th Street Station. A six-car train came along, and four of the cars passed over him before the train stopped. Women who saw the incident shrieked. Men shuddered. An ambulance was sent for. A policeman came along. While they were trying to extricate his remains, Somerall rolled out, looked around, said, "Man I saw some mean scenery!" and continued on his way. He had escaped death by getting into the depression between the tracks. 16 Lynched In1924Show 17 Decrease Report of Department of Research of Tuskegee Institute Shows Decrease of Seventeen Over Last Year. Sixteen persons were lynched last year as compiled by Tuskegee Institute in the Department of Records and Research. This is the smallest number lynched in any year since records of lynching have been kept, and is 17 less than the number 33 for the year 1923 and 41 less than the number 57 for the year 1922. Nine of the persons lynched were taken from the hands of the law, 6 from jails and 3 from officers of the law outside of jails. There were 45 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Two women, 1 white and 1 colored, were among those thus saved. Eight of these preventions of lynchings were in Northern States and 37 in Southern States. In 36 of the cases the prisoners were removed or the guards augmented or other precautions taken. In 9 other instances, armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 4 instances during the year persons charged with being connected with lynching mobs were indicted. Of the 19 persons thus before the courts only 5 were convicted. These were given jail sentences. Of the 16 persons lynched all were Negroes. 7 or less than one-half of those put to death were charged with rape or attempted rape. The offenses charged were: Murder, 1; rape, 5; attempted rape, 2; killing officer of the law, 2; insulting woman, 3; attacking woman, 1; killing man in altercation, 1; wounding man, 1. The states in which lynchings occurred, and the number in each state are as follows: Florida, 5; Georgia, 2; Illinois, 1; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 1; Mississippi, 2; Missouri, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 1; Texas, 1. NEGRO PRINTERS ADVANCE IN FEDERAL DEPARTMENT Washington, D. C., Dec. 24.—The government printing office at Washington is offering a splendid opportunity to colored tradesmen. According to a report by Walter J. Singleton, the department has increased the size of its staff of Negro workers and given a substantial raise in salary. The head of the huge federal printing bureau has appointed 5 colored youths as apprentices. 12 Negro printers are under their charge. Under the present administration, compositors have advanced to $7.60 a day, and typesetters to $8.40 with 15 per cent additional for night work and 50 per cent for over time. A full fledged printer receives from $2,000 to $3,000 annually. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1925 "Home Africanus" Article in Magazine Contains Interesting Facts; Says Mobbism Outcome of White Man's Fear. The white Southerner "knows less about the black man, understands him less than any one on this planet," according to L. M. Hussey, writing in the January American Mercury Magazine, edited by H. L. Mencken, 703 Fifth Ave., N. Y. C. What the white Southerner calls a "good nigger," according to Mr. Hussey, is simply an accomplished actor, playing a part, and deluding the dominant race in order that he may be permitted to live in the South, the while he laughs up his sleeve at his dupe. Mr. Hussey's article, written in a jocose vein, while employing expressions that will offend many colored readers, nevertheless states interesting facts and it is because of these facts and despite many distasteful phrases that the N. A. A. C. P. calls attention to the article. Ability to Play Part. The price of life for the Negro in the South, says Mr. Hussey, is ability to play a part. The colored people he observed, "adopted in their intercourse with me, with every white man, the voice and gesture familiar in all mimes. They were enacting subtly, ineffably, very persuasively, a self-imposed role. They were playing a part in a comedy!" The object of the comedy is to delude the white man into thinking them submissive. In this the Negro is completely successful, and the Southern white man thinks of him either as a good Uncle Tom or else as a criminal. Mr. Hussey goes on to point out that there is another fallacy besides the one that the white man "understands the nigger." This fallacy is to the effect that the Negro is better treated in the South than elsewhere. "The superior favors and condescension allotted the 'good nigger' of the Confederacy do not derive from the superminent kindness of the Southern gentleman's heart nor from his better understanding of the blackamoor. They derive, instead, from the fact that the Southern gentleman is the dupe of the good nigger's histrionic wiles. He is the victim of hundreds of thousands of black Salvinis, playing their parts naturally, almost instinctively, under the brutal urge of a mere biologic promising, yet withal superlatively." Fear Prompts Mob. The Negro's clowning plays upon the vanities of the dominant race, but at times the Southern whites come to doubt their own "superiority," especially when the Negro distinguishes himself as a business man or in the arts and professions. Then the white man begins to fear that "white superiority" is not inherent but "results from the accidents of numbers and conventions—not from higher talents." It is this fear of jeopardy to "white supremacy" that prompts the mob, says Mr. Hussey. "Shorn of his sense of mastery, the hysterical overman feels his own skull in danger," when a white woman has been stared at, or some crime committed, "he sees, abruptly, a horde of 'good niggers' ripping off their masks, no longer paying tribute to his accidental eminence. And forthwith he and his brothers in hysteria bear down in overwhelming numbers upon the first isolated cabin at hand—and proceed to lynch a nigger." Meanwhile, the colored man is cynical, says Mr. Hussey, and laughs bitterly to himself. He is coming to repudiate the role of "good nigger." "To the white brethren seeking civilized amusement, to the Nordic overman a bit soured by the pallid timidities of his accustomed journals, I recommend a trial glance at such Negro papers as THE CRISIS, THE MESSENGER AND OPPORTUNITY." Comments on Editorial. In concluding his article, Mr. Hussey has this to say: "According to the concerted opinion of all the knowing Ethiopians that I have approached, two or three hundred years hence there will be but one race on these shores! Shocked as I am for the sake of all my Confederate friends, I (Continued on page 4) "CRISIS" UPHOLDS THE INDEPENDENT COLORED VOTERS "CRISIS" UPHOLDS THE INDEPENDENT COLORED VOTERS Call Politicians "Associated Pie-Hunters"—Demand Principles, Men Not Offices, Jobs. "What the N. A. A. C. P. has stood for and will stand for is the independence of the intelligent Negro vote," says the leading editorial in The Crisis for January, 1925. "We propose that black Americans shall be the bond servants of no party and that no set of politicians shall ever be able to deliver our vote signed and sealed to any party in return for bribes and jobs for themselves. "In the exercise of this independence members and officers of this organization may differ and do differ as to where their votes will do the most good in any particular election. In the last election our officers and members voted the Republican ticket, the Democratic ticket, the Progressive ticket and split tickets of all sorts; but in every case the object of their voting, so far as they stood by the principles which have been laid down by the organization, was to sell their votes not for petty political jobs but for the freedom of the Negro race." Referring to politicians as the Associated Pie-Hunters, The Crisis editorials demand: "Not offices, but principles; not jobs, but men; not 'suitable cognizance' of lynching, but the abolition of the dastardly crime by federal force. We plead guilty to Mr. Vann here, now and forever, of 'running away' from the mob of political pie-hunters and of saying to the Republican party, the Democratic party and the Progressive party, as we said in Philadelphia in May (and Dr. George E. Cannon was a member of the committee which said it): "Any political party which aims to attract the votes of Negroes today must first convince them of its determination and ability to forward their industrial and political and social emancipation." Challenging political assailants of the N. A. A. C. P., The Crisis declares: "If these politicians are the ones who set themselves up to lead us to hell instead of upward and onward by the long, hard, difficult but straight path which the N. A. A. C. P. has for fifteen years pointed out and traveled with a success that no sane man, white or black, has ever challenged—if black America must choose between these two groups, let them choose and we cheerfully abide the decision." In the January Crisis are also poems and stories by Charles W. Chesnutt, Langston Hughes, Jessie Fausett and others. New York, Dec. 30.—Eva Tanguay is to be brought to New York today from Providence, R. I., where she collapsed Monday night while appearing in vaudeville. While definite information as to the nature of her illness was not available, it was announced at the Keith offices here that her engagement at a Broadway theater for next week had been canceled. Tormented by Conscience, Man Admits Forgery Tormented by Conscience, Man Admits Forgery Wilmington, Dec. 30.—Unable to sleep and tormented by his conscience, Patrick Harris walked into the Equitable Trust Company Bank and reported that he had forged a check for $800 on his employer. Mrs. Frank V. du Pont, 14 Broome St., five weeks ago. Arraigned before Magistrate Jones, Harris repeated his confession and was held in $2,000 ball. Harris said he had spent all the money, but refused to tell nor Neither Mrs. du Pont nor the bank officials were aware of the forgery until the confession was made. Minneapolis Man Wins Auto Case; Secures Death Car Driver's Aquittal Man Charged With Manslaughter Is Acquitted by Jury in Minneapolis Court. Trial Lasts Five Days—Jury Out Five Hours. Attorney Gale P. Hillyer, 719 New York Life Building, Minneapolis, is one of the leading attorneys at the Hennepin County Bar. He just recently secured the acquittal of a Minneapolis man on a charge of manslaughter before a jury in Judge E. F. Walte's courtroom. The defendant struck and killed a man on Superior Boulevard who was changing tires on his car and was standing in the rear of his automobile when struck. After a trial lasting five days, the jury, after being out five hours, brought in a verdict of not guilty. Besides his work in criminal law, Mr. Hilyer has achieved quite a distinction as a civil lawyer and has quite a large practice among a number of large corporations also representing two of the large banks in the City of Minneapolis, as well as a number of automobile companies. Mr. Hilyer is a graduate of the law school of the University of Minnesota and began practice with the firm of Hall and Tautges, where he gained a wide acquaintance and fine experience. He maintains a most modern, up-to-date office with a good library and in every way is a creditable representative of the race in his profession. We are glad to present such an enterprising, up-to-date, successful man as Mr. Hilyer to our readers for he has proven that merit will win recognition in spite of color.

Race Doesn't UseLibraries Is Complaint Lack of Books on Negro in Libraries Due to Lack of Demand, Says Writer in Letter to N. A. A. C. P. Complaint that colored people in this country do not read, that they do not use their library facilities, is contained in a letter to an executive officer of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Ave., New York City, from a librarian in Buffalo. Lack of books on the "Negro Problem" in libraries is attributed to the failure of colored people to ask for them and read them, according to the librarian, whose letter to the N. A. A. C. P. is in part as follows: "Our people are not readers. Every library has a limited amount of money and if you could only see them going over their books to see when they were last drawn or how many times they have been drawn in order to know if more money can be spent for books of that type. "I believe the lack of books on the Negro Problem in libraries is due to lack of demand. Our librarian added the 'Journal of Negro History' (of his own accord) to our Periodical Department and also bought all the back numbers in bound volumes. I have repeatedly asked persons to go and ask to use them but there they stand, getting dusty. "I have gone into this lengthy explanation because you and other officers of the N. A. A. C. P. go around and speak and I wonder if you could say something about this important subject. We do a great many things from a sense of duty. Can we not, even if it is painful, go to our city libraries and make it a point to ask for our own authors over and over until librarians at least know the names?" Santa Claus Visits Neighborhood House Through the efforts of the St. Paul Urban League Santa Claus came to the little children and their parents on the West Side last Tuesday at the Neighborhood House. A Christmas tree, candy, games, moving pictures, presents for the boys and girls, the singing of Christmas hymns by the little fellows made up the evening's entertainment. A large crowd enjoyed the festivities, which were under the direction of Mrs. Birdie High, assistant to the Urban League. Mrs. High was ably aided by Mrs. Geo. Wills, Mrs. Mary Burton, Mr. Sylvester Butler, who, as Santa, evoked much mirth and laughter, Mrs. R. D. Wiley and Mrs. Gilbreath. Class No. 17 of the St. James' A. M. E. church with their instructor E. A. Carter, were the guests of the Neighborhood House on part of their study in Modern Social Methods. Shop Every Week in the Bulletin Appeal The Dependable Medium MONY $300 EACH MONTH ORDERED PENDING ANNULMENT SUIT Colored Laundress Who Married Society Man Contradicts Father. New York, Dec. 27. — The courts today awarded Grace Jones Rhinelander, whose father declared himself an Ethiopian, $3,000 counsel fees and $300 a month alimony, with which to establish her right to remain the wife of the son of one of New York's foremost society families. Leonard Kip Rhinelander, who courted the little laundress and married her in secret, must pay the above sum pending trial for his suit for annulment of the marriage. Meanwhile, investigators for both Rhinelander and his bride will search in England and in the West Indies for definite proof of her father's family tree. Both principals in New York's famous mystery of miscegenation are in hiding. Attorneys for the wife will seek to prove: First—That the father misrepresented himself as "colored" when he took out naturalization papers. Second—That Grace Jones, prior to her marriage into the wealthy Rhinelander family, did not falsely represent herself as "white." In his suit for annulment young Rhinelander charges fraud. Justice Tompkins, at White Plains today, fixed allmoney and counsel fees at an amount that was a compromise between $1,000 a month and $10,000 for her lawyers asked by the bride, and the $200 a month and $22,000 fees offered by attorneys for the plaintiff. Ames Lodge Host at Annual Xmas Party On Christmas afternoon Ames Lodge No. 106, I. B. P. O. E. W., gave their annual Christmas tree entertainment for 450 children and their parents.

After the entertainment features the lodge members assisted by the ladies of Minnehaha Temple and the juvenile organization distributed gifts to the children. Street car tickets were also given the children. The committee in charge of this most commendable affair was Clarence McCullough, chairman; W. R. Morris, F. Chadwick, Fred Thomas, J. Ed. Stewart, Rufus Anderson, Edward Miller and T. Clark. Exalted Ruler Talmadge Cary, officers and members of Ames Lodge are to be complimented on their generosity and forethought in seeing that the children of our race in Minneapolis were not forgotten by Santa. Every child in the city is an Elk booster now.

A NEW YEAR REVERY The Publisher called the Editor by phone and instructed him to write a story on the "Cormogeny of Mankind" for the current issue. "The what," said the editor? "You get me," said the boss, "or I'll get you." "We have not the honor to know the party you refer to," we replied, and hung up the receiver. At a loss to know how to escape a subject we knew so little about, we sat back in our chair and fell into deep thought, when "copy" flashed through our cranium without the slightest disturbance of grey matter: "We took a voyage recently in a mysterious airship to the dark continent—Africa. We alighted in an interior jungle and saw only wild beast and naked savages. Strange as it may seem, both were harmless and friendly. A guide came to our rescue and led the way through tangled brush, slimy swamps and thickly timbered forests, until we came to an opening. On a hill top stood a temple of imposing corinthian architecture. Upon investigation it proved to have been erected several thousands of years ago by the skill of Carthagenian workmen. We entered the portals of this magnificent building, with its richly carved marble, ivory and ebony. We were overwhelmed with the furnishings of gold, the tapestry, and objects of rare art—representing subjects unknown to us. The rugs covering the mosaic flooring were rich in color effect and texture. Lights were burning in lamps of gold, more brilliantly illuminated than could be produced by electricity. They reflected the rays of the sun through a system of generation, and storage, that could be used for both lighting and heating as necessity demanded. We saw white turbaned priests in white flowing robes. Some with patriarchal beards, others entirely free from hirsute adornment. They represented every color, hue, tint and shade of complexion—from the caucasian to the darkest pigment—black. They performed strange offices, consisting of reading from parchments, observing the heavens through huge telescopes and writing down the movements of planatary bodies in hieroglyphics and geometrical figures. This program varied occasionally by sacred devotions before an altar of pure gold in a chapel. No one seemed either higher or holier than the other—all were on an equal footing. They chanted in sweet musical harmonies, in tones we never heard before. We were impressed with the spirituality of the atmosphere, the intelligence and wisdom of the priest-hood. One of the number came forward to greet us—his color was black but his countenance was radiant with good will. His voice was soft and beautiful in cadence as he spoke in charming English. He informed us that through his "sixth sense" he knew who we were and also our language. He said the temple and the religious order had existed for thousands of years before the records of Herodus. The temple was known as the "Cormogeny of Mankind," and the order as the "initiates." They had overcome mortality—were immune from death. They never ate food for substance. They found sufficient nourishment and moisture in the atmosphere to maintain a normal existence of life. Hunger and thirst were unknown. We asked this learned man—if man he was—many questions bearing on the problems of civilization. Among others he informed us that mankind was still undergoing a process of evolution and the most enlightened had hardly started upon the road towards civilization; that man was still a barbarian in practice and worse than a barbarian in relations with his fellowman. Civilization was a veneer that made it possible for man to conceal his evil tendencies—his real character. In matters of intelligence, we were mental infants; and as far as our educational acquirements were concerned, we belonged to the kindergarten class. "But what of our system of jurisprudence, our law courts, our justice?" we inquired. The black sage replied: "That, too, is a part of your civilization; it is a sham; your law courts are a mockery—a place where you justify an evasion of the natural or rational law. Your laws are placed upon statute books by politicians in the employ of corporate interests of mercenary bent. As for justice you have none." "My country," I said, "is rich in material wealth. We are great inventors, a great nation of commerce; we have achieved much." Again the wise man spoke: "Yes, your country is rich in the material things, but you have only scratched the surface. You have gone a few thousand feet into the crust of the earth and a few thousand feet into the air above. There are millions of things to be developed from both experiments; while around and about you lie mysteries unsolved. The most ordinary thing—a plant, a rock, or the substance of common soil—if properly analyzed would add new elements to your chemistry and benefit mankind by making conditions easier under your system of living. One blade of grass is food enough to keep all of your scientists busy in its solution. You have invented noth- ing; you are only crude discoverers. You have far to go. You have only started on the journey. It is in matters of commerce that your failure is greatest. It is competitive, heartless, lacks mercy and sentiment. It is the rock that will sink your ship. Your scramble for selfish gain—your greed for material wealth—retards your evolution. It leads you into law courts—into conflicts of war. It divides you socially—capital against labor—rich against poor. It has created a division in religions—Jew against Gentile—Protestant against Catholic. It has brought about a division of the races. The dominant race seeking to subjugate the others—refusing to treat them as brothers. This will prove your undoing. It will end in internecine strife that will exterminate your civilization. Upon its ruins will be built one that will endure. Its cornerstone will be "love for one another." There will be no courts of law or interpreters of law. Justice will be the heritage of all. In commerce—the competitive system will be supplanted by a creative one. Man will have learned that there is a supply for every demand and that the source of supply comes abundantly from the "All-Wise Provider"—"The Absolute"—whom you know as God. There will be no social caste; no rich or poor—all of mankind will be on an equal basis. The white no greater than the black, brown, red, or yellow man. There will be no division among groups of men. The Jew, German, Russian, Negro, or of whatever origin, will not lose racial characteristics—all will be brothers." He then commanded us to follow him. We entered a large circular chamber with white marble columns. A great dome let in a flood of light that shed its rays upon an altar covered with a panoply of gold. Upon this altar was a book of parchments. He explained to us that the book contained the "Cormogeny of Mankind" and the secret of the universe. With the politest expression of purest English, the black priest led us to the outer door and with a gracious bow, bade us "adieu." Coming into contact with the world again—gropingly descending the the steep hillside, we stumbled and fell. Striking a rock we were rendered unconscious for some time. It seemed an age before we were aroused by the ringing of distant bells. Faintly at first—now louder and louder—came the ringing. With outstretched hands we feebly attempted to grasp something tangible—the telephone. "Hello, hello," we yelled, only to hear "central" ask, "number, please?" The editor had fallen asleep in his easy chair and was awakened from his revery by siren whistles and ringing bells welcoming the newly born year—1925.

In the field of Commerce—all business men are beginning to take stock. These last few weeks will mark the close of the present year; and the world of business is analyzing its records, checking the mistakes, eliminating possible waste and preparing for a new year of progress and prosperity. It would be well for us as a race if we would do the same thing. Our records need analysis, our mistakes need rectifying; the tremendous waste due to lack of cooperation and inefficient methods need to be eliminated if we are to go forward during the coming year. We ourselves hold the destiny of our race in our own hands and we must take stock of our potential strength and also our evident weaknesses. Our lack of co-operative effort has been the shackle which impedes our progress. Selfish leadership—blatant egoism—unwarranted and unnecessary misrepresentation of real conditions by the short-sighted have caused more harm than all of the race prejudice from which we have suffered in these three hundred years. There are those in this community who are real—conscientious and able race men. They are $100\%$ in their devotion to the race welfare but too often they are thrust aside by loud-mouthed, big-headed pseudo-leaders who hog the spotlight whenever they get a chance. The slinking serpent of race hatred is slowly worming itself into the bosom of St. Paul. While we contend and argue and hurl epithets at one another, prejudice becomes rampant and discrimination and segregation stalk openly by our doors. It is time that we exercised a little common sense. It is high time that we bury the hatchet and stand together—a solid phalanx confronting our foes. MRS. EMMIE LOUIS CROWNED QUEEN A few weeks ago at Birmingham, Ala., there was a Beauty Contest given, sponsored by the ladies of the Twentieth Century Club. Fourteen daintily clad little girls served as ribbon bearers.

He became rougher and rougher, according to Alice, and although she admits she is a record-bearer for punishment, the blows were too thick and heavy. She called the police. His wife usually manages to bail Jerry out when he becomes obstreperous with other folk and is arrested, but today there was pleading for clemency on Alice's part. Jerry will languish in jail until Jan. 7 awaiting a hearing in lieu of $50 bail. He has been employed at the Union Depot as a "red cap" for about five years. MISSING MAN AN HEIR IN WILL OF $475,000 Detroit, Mich., Dec. 24.—Fabulous wealth waits James R. Johnson, who formerly lived at 2480 Rivard street, but who disappeared several months ago, since which time his parents and brother and sister have been making vain efforts to locate him. A short time ago the aged grandfather of Johnson died in Oklahoma, leaving an estate valued at $475,000 to his four grandchildren. In order to execute the will it is necessary that all the beneficiaries be present. Thus the apportioning of the vast fortune is being held up by the absence of Johnson. The missing man is an expert electrician. He weighs about 150 pounds and is near 5 feet 5 inches in height. He is brown skin, with heavy eyebrows, black hair and has a gold tooth on the left front side. --- THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL INDIANS INCREASE 2,599 IN ONE YEAR Report Shows Improvement in Health Conditions. Washington.—An increase in the country's Indian population and a marked improvement in health conditions on their reservations were noted in an annual report by Indian Commissioner Burke. Growth by 2,599 in the last year to a total of 346,902 in a population total entirely dependent on the difference between the birth and death rates, is accepted as proof that the Indians are becoming a healthier people. Campaigns being conducted against trachoma and tuberculosis, the most prevalent Indian diseases, are yielding results, and the commissioner seeks an additional appropriation of $130,000 to carry on the work. A gain in school attendance also was noted, 65,484 Indians having been enrolled in various schools, representing an increase of 4,071 over 1923. In three years the number of teachers in the Indians' summer training schools has grown from 24 to 325. Although oil and gas operations on Indian reservations were less than normal, the leasings reached 226,910 acres; 49,640,458 barrels were produced, and the total revenue was $20,145,517. A tract of 160 acres on the Osage reservation in Oklahoma was leased for nearly $2,000,000 and several others brought more than $1,000,000 apiece. The Osages alone realized $24,670,483 from oil and gas. Lumber cut on all reservations aggregated 20,000,000 feet which yielded the Indians $1,322,000. Pima Indians in Arizona will be especially benefited by a $5,500,000 dam to be constructed on the Gila river near San Carlos. Clerks Get 20.4 Cents Washington.—Your postal dollar, one of the $4.49 spent for every man, woman and child in the country for postal service last year, has been traced by experts of the Post Office department to show exactly where it went. Their study shows that out of it clerks in postoffices received 20.4 cents, railroad transportation 16.2 cents, rural delivery service 15.0 cents, city and village letter carriers 14.1 cents, postmasters and assistant postmasters 8.8 cents, railway mail service 8.5 cents, rent, light and fuel, 2.0 cents, with the remainder going into miscellaneous expenses. First-class postal contributed 47.4 cents of every dollar received for postal service; fourth-class mail 21.0 cents, third-class mail 7.6 cents, second-class mail 5.5 cents, and the remainder came from other services performed by post offices. The burden of the postoffice deficit in handling certain classes of mail, as shown in Postmaster General New's report to congress is being borne by the postal employees in "inadequate compensation," it was asserted in a statement issued here by C. P. Francisus, president of the United National Association of Postoffice Clerks. Recover Indian Relics at Muscle Shoals Washington.—The opening of the big Wilson dam at Muscle Shoals during 1925 will blot out a laboratory of science. Under the direction of Dr. J. Walter Fewkes, chief of the bureau of American ethnology of the Smithsonian institution, Gerrard Fowke, a trained scientific worker, has been exploring Indian mounds at Muscle Shoals that will be covered with water when the big Wilson dam is put into commission. The relics which Mr. Fowke found are being packed up to be sent to the institution for study. Just what Indian tribe they belonged to remains to be determined. The Tennessee Valley Historical society invited Doctor Fewkes to have the mounds explored and he sent Mr. Fowke to excavate them at the mouth of Town creek, Colbert county, Alabama, two months ago. Doctor Fewkes also made a trip to the point recently and brought back with him to Washington some of the scientific finds. They include copper ornaments, beads and a species of breastplate, showing Doctor Fewkes said, that the Indians to whom they belonged prized that metal highly. Find Process to Make Washington- Experts of the Department of Agriculture are studying the results in the extraction of sugar from vegetables heretofore not utilized for that purpose, which they say have evolved a process that may revolutionize the sugar-growing and refining industry. The new process, discovered in researches by Dr. R. F. Jackson of the bureau of standards, makes possible, they say, the crystallization of sugar extracted from such vegetables as the artichoke and thus its production for the first time in a usable and commercial form. Lack of a process for crystallizing sugar drawn from such plants, it was said, has been the one bar to their utilization for this purpose. The sugar derived by this process from the artichoke was said to promise the cheapest source for its production. It is one and one-half times as sweet as the sugar taken from cane and the sugar beet. Its production, it was said, promises to be both simpler and cheaper than cane or beet sugar. WARNING OF GODS IN VOLCANIC SMOKE WARNING OF GODS IN VOLCANIC SMOKE Eruptions From Popoçatepetl Alarm Natives Mexico City.—Popocatepetl, Mexico's great volcano, and known as "the smoking mountain," has begun to erupt, causing alarm to the little villages on its slopes and even to the City of Mexico, which, accustomed to see a white peak towering above the clouds, now notes a black, steady stream of smoke forming curious figures in the sky. The inhabitants of the village of Tlamacas are reported to have deserted their homes through fear. The Indian witchmen, in the village of Ameca-meca, which lies between the volcano and its twin Iztacchuatl, the latter known as the "sleeping sister," are endeavoring to read in the figures made by the column of fire, the warning of the gods, for Ameca-meca has been destroyed four times by the god of the smoking mountain, and there is a prophecy that a savior chief is to be born of Popocatepetl and Iztacchuatl. Scientific observers, however, say that continuous explosions occurring in Popocatepeti, at the rate of about a dozen a minute, do not result in disastrous eruptions. Explorers just returned from far up the slopes of the mountain say they were unable to ascend beyond the snow line. Smoke Spreads Over 100 Miles. The smoke arising in a huge column from the crater has spread 100 miles from its source. Powderlike ashes are falling about the mountain, indicating only sulphur deposits are burning. One of Mexico's leading artists, Doctor Alt, is interpreting the movements of the columns of smoke and fire, which he styles "the angulh of my brother Popo." But he insists that the residents of Mexico have nothing to fear from the volcano's convulsions, and that greater dangers exist for them in their midst, such as politics, camions and the "right to direct action." Doctor Alt spent three years living a hermit's life on the edge of the crater, with snow and ice on one side, and fire and lava on the other. He says the mountain is one of the passions of his life. Recently, at the first sign of trouble within the volcano, Doctor Alt was off from Mexico City with his pack, in an endenvor to see the activity of the volcano. Indians Practice Witchcraft. For some weeks the press of Mexico City has been occupied with the activities of Popocatepelt. The country around the slopes of the volcano, and even villages some kilometers distant, have been covered with a fine yellow ash, but the old-time Indians took no notice of this, being accustomed to such a slight inconvenience, but when the recent subterranean rumblings began to become prominent, even these old warriors became frightened and now are practicing all their witchcraft in order to appease the god and so save the country from the destruction they believe is imminent. First Indian to Hold University Museum Post MORRIS Lewis and McMullen Kesh-Ke-Kosh, whose white name is Don Whistler, is the first Indian to hold an important university museum post. He has been appointed assistant in the department of general ethnology at the University of Pennsylvania and is to overhaul and rearrange the Indian collection there. Kesh-Ke-Kosh is a descendant of the Sac and Fox tribe of Oklahoma. His name means "the hoof that has been cleft." He became interested in ethnology while writing a history of his own tribe. New Radio Ship Compass Proves of Great Value Washington—Tests of a new radio ship compass on the last voyage of the shipping board liner President Pierce gave signal proof of its great value to navigation. The master of the President Pierce reported to the radio division of the board that when his ship was leaving Hongkong for Shanghai in typhoon weather he lost his bearings and was enabled to find the position of his ship through a radio signal sent by the President Hayes, then in sight of the Helsha light. The use of the device then and later on the same trip saved the President Pierce 24 hours, the skipper reported, and thus more than paid for its installation. DENTISTS Cedar 4044 Dale 3218 DR L. T.

THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL INDIAN TAKES DYE SECRET TO GRAVE Papagos Without Formula Used in Basket Weaving. Tucson, Ariz.—Handed down from mother to daughter, a priceless possession, a portion of tribal tradition, the age-old secret of the colors used in the weaving of the basketwork of the Papagos, closely associated with the Pima Indians, is now a thing of the past. An aged squaw, who lived for many years in the vicinity of Tucson, died at the age of ninety-old years. Only a few, aside from her family, marked the passing of the daughter of the Papago race. The last piece of woven work done by the wrinkled, skilled fingers, the result of six months' painstaking labor, was brought to a shop in Tucson shortly before the passing of the ancient weaver. On its sides, encircling the basket, are the flying Thunderbirds, woven in four colors, red, green, black and white. And now, since her death, it is said that the formula for making the red and green embodied in the Thunderbird design has passed with her, as the aged artisan did not impart her knowledge of their preparation, and the secret of applying them, to anyone. Whether science will rediscover what roots and herbs were used in the brewing of the nonfading colors in the Thunderbird pattern, or whether the art has become a lost one, is a question which time alone will prove. While the Papagos, belonging to the group of village dwellers, have cultivated crops, using irrigation for many hundred years, they have also subsisted, to a large extent, upon the desert flora, not only employing the white, bleached leaves of the yucca plant in the manufacture of basketry, but have utilized the fruit of the giant cactus and the mesquite for drink and food. Navy Men Plan to Refuel Shenandoah While in Air Washington.—In the near future the bureau of aeronautics of the Navy department will attempt to refuel the airship Shenandoah in the air while under tow of a surface vessel. This announcement was made recently by Rear Admiral William A. Moffett that a biddle will be rigged to a tow line and attached to the mooring gear in the nose of the big rigid. A hose will be connected with the fuel tanks of the airship and gasoline pumped into them from the supply vessel on the surface. "This is the next important test we will make with the Shenandoah," said the admiral. "We are confident it can be successfully refueled in this way. If the experiment comes up to expectations it will add materially to the usefulness of rigids with the fleet." Admiral Moffett said when a mooring mast was installed on the fuel ship Patoka it was not intended to use that vessel as a floating base for the Shenandoah. He doubts that any coupling so far developed would be able to hold a huge rigid to a mast on a ship rolling heavily in the open sea. When plans are perfected for refueling airships from surface vessels it is anticipated it will increase the safety factor in the event of accident as well as increase the cruising radius of rigs. The tow line would be dropped from the airship to the surface vessel, likewise the hose for refilling fuel tanks. In Old Spanish Armor La Junta, Colo.—Discovery of a skeleton in ancient Spanish armor 18 miles south of here by several boys has attracted the attention of historians, who believe the skeleton may be that of a member of a band that traversed this part of the country under the leadership of the intrepid explorer, Don Vasquez Coronado. The armor plate is mostly covered with ivory. On it are figures believed to be the Roman numerals, but as yet not deciphered. Boys Find Skeleton Clad in Old Spanish Arm Baltimore. — Experiments in which persons supplied with an artificial larynx have been enabled to speak well enough to make themselves understood have been conducted by Dr. J. E. McKeny of New York, it was disclosed before the Baltimore Medical society. Patients who have undergone operations for cancer of the throat and whose vocal apparatus has been removed have been enabled to breathe through holes, in the neck and, with the instrument substituted for the larynx, have made themselves understood in what has been termed a "voice almost human" and audible throughout a good-sized room. The device consists of a pad over the breathing aperture in the patient's neck, with a rubber tube leading to an instrument which stimulates the vocal cords. Air is forced from the lungs and is set in vibration, the vibrations being carried through a short tube like a pipestem into the speaker's mouth. The result is said to be similar to speech in a monotone. RAZES CEMETERY ENRAGING TOWN Claims Historic Burial Plot and Dumps Markers. Stamford, Conn.—With the town of New Canaan up in arms against him, G. Elmer Jones of this city is facing possible complications as a result of the wholesale removal of headstones from a small cemetery in New Canaan. In the cemetery, the graves in which now appear confused beyond any identification, New Canaan's dead have been buried since early in the Eighteenth century. As an heir of one John Jones, Mr. Jones lays claim to the property on which the cemetery is located. Recently he caused the ninety-three headstones to be removed, including five which marked the graves of Revolutionary or Civil war soldiers. Fifty three of the stones were set up in a lot which Mr. Jones purchased in Lake View cemetery, which is in another part of New Canaan. The others were piled in a heap in a swamp and left there. No effort was made to disinter any of the bodies in the old cemetery, and it is said it would be impossible now to replace the headstones over the graves to which they belong. One of the stones bears the date 1736, the name on it belong Anna Eels. Only one stone was left, that being so tangled in the roots of an elm tree it could not be budged. Laborers and truckmen had the work of removing the stones completed before the townspeople realized what was going on. Incensed, they are now clamoring for action. The town of New Canaan has instructed its counsel, Homer S. Cummings, to take whatever steps are necessary. The town contends the cemetery is public property. The Connecticut law provides a severe penalty for tampering with a tombstone or grave. At Mr. Cumming's office it was said a careful investigation was being made and that action would be instituted if the facts warranted. At the Jones home it was said he was away. His wife declined to make any statement in his behalf. From other sources, however, it was learned Jones had consulted counsel before having the stones removed.

Note the size of the flower in comparison to the man beside it and the ruler he is holding. Religious Book Best Seller Freiburg—Racy topics do not always furnish the year's best sellers in German literature. Last year's selling record was held by Bishop Keppler's religious book, "Mehr Freude" (More Joy), which scored 175,000 copies on the first edition. The demand was so large that translations were made into Bohemian, Danish, Norwegian, English, Flemish, French, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese, Swedish, Spanish and Hungarian. Washington.—Confirmation of the view that the spiral nebulae which appear in the heavens as whirling clouds, are in reality distant stellar systems, or "island universes," has been obtained by Dr. Edwin Hubbell of the Carnegie institution's Mount Wilson observatory, through investigations carried out with the observatory's powerful telescopes. The number of spiral nebulae, the observatory officials have reported, amount to hundreds of thousands, and their apparent sizes range from small objects, almost starlike in character, to the great nebulae in Andromeda, which extends across an angle of three degrees in the heavens, about six times the diameter of the full moon. The investigations of Doctor Hubble were made photographically with the 100-inch reflectors at the observatory.

CEDAR 0555 Page 3 Page 4 NEW FACTS ABOUT ANCIENT AMERICA Pre-Columbian Apartment House Yields Store. Washington, D. C.—Neil M. Judd, leader of the National Geographic society's expedition to Pueblo Bonito, the pre-COLUMBian "apartment house" of Chaco canyon, New Mexico, has brought back to Washington an amazing array of exquisite art objects and domestic utensils which shed new light on an early metropolis of Indian America. Perhaps the most beautiful piece in the collection is a turquoise necklace of 2,500 pieces and four pendants—the only complete specimen of such a necklace known. The method by which the Indians ground down the tiny pieces, and bored them out to be strung on sinews, has won the admiration of modern jewelers who have seen it. The four pendants are remarkable specimens of turquoise, deep blue, and with them, Mr. Judd said, he could have purchased every Indian horse in San Juan county. Jewels Mounted With Pine Gum. Other unique objects d'art are jet rings, perfectly rounded, on which are mounted tiny carved turquoise birds. The mounting was done with pine gum, the adhesive of the American ancients, which lasted through the ages the rings lay buried in the pueblo ruins. To get these, and other tiny pieces, the geographic explorers have sifted tons of debris, after building a miniature railroad, and set mule-drawn steel dump cars to work hauling out the rubbish. Recovered by this tedious process are some of the closest woven and finest specimens of Indian basketry yet discovered. To preserve these required the utmost dexterity, for often upon exposure a zephyrlike breeze would dissipate the specimens. The hope of preserving them lay in waxing them immediately upon their exposure. Historically one of the important finds is a double basket, the like of which has hitherto been unknown in ruins other than cliff dwellings, and the use of which has not yet been determined. It may furnish another clue to piece out further the habits, customs and religious beliefs of these aborigines. Although they left no written words, nor even any pictograph records that can be deciphered, they attained a civilization as interesting as the early cultures along the Nile and in Mesopotamia, yet distinctive from all Old World peoples. Already the daily life of the Bonito dwellers has been pieced out patiently in great detail. Rouge Still Intact. "That object looks like a 'vanity box,'" remarked one geographer who viewed the collections. "Not only that, but here is a bit of the rouge the Bonitans used," replied Mr. Judd, and he displayed a lump of reddish clay, which still will color the flesh. These "makeup" devices were used by the Bonitan men, however, rather than their women, and they served principally for the beautification of participants in their dramatic religious ceremonies. Pipes also are in the collection. Some of these were "pleasure pipes" resembling very much the short, large-bowl English models. Others resemble cigar holders, with flaring bowls, and these were used to "make clouds" in the Bonitan's kivas or worship chambers. Objects which shed light on the economic habits of the Bonitans are the fleshers, with jet and turquoise inlays, used to remove flesh from the skins of animals; flint knives, which are chipped down with infinite skill and patience; and bone needles, used in sewing skins. The broad area of communication of these ancient peoples is disclosed by objects found in their "apartments" which were brought from points as distant as the Pacific coast and the valley of Mexico. Woman 100 Years Old Does Own Housework Grand Ledge, Mich.—"I came to have glasses fitted, not my age," Mrs. Adelia D. Pickens, one hundred years old, told an optometrist recently when she came here from her home near Vermontville to get new glasses. "I'm too busy to think about my age," she said, "but I want the glasses to read with in my spare moments when I'm not busy with housework." Mrs. Pickens lives with her only remaining child, a bachelor son, and she does all her own housework. She has had five children. Recently she decided it was cheaper to buy bread than bake it, but feared her friends would think she was getting lazy if she didn't bake, so she continued to make her own, and it's mighty good bread, too, her neighbors say. Her active life has kept wrinkles away and she does not appear more than sixty years old. She has been a widow since 1861, when her husband went to Kentucky to get a sick brother and himself fell sick and died. "Barracks-Room Language" Plea Aids British Soldier London.-British military law recognizes the fact that soldiers are liable to outbursts of profanity, and when a private of the First royal dragoons was charged at an Aldershot court-martial recently with using insubordinate language toward a sergeant, he was acquitted on the ground that the expression he used was common barrack-room language." DELHI SOON TO BE INDIA'S CAPITAL First of the New Buildings Is Nearing Completion. London.—Despite unforeseen obstacles and many delays incident to the great war, the work of rearing the new Indian capital at Delhi has gone steadily on. Latest reports to the Indian office indicate the first of the new buildings will be occupied by the end of next year. Thus will be realized one of the greatest building achievements of modern times. The new Indian capital is rising from a desolate and barren waste. The present English king, as emperor, at his coronation durbar in 1912, announced the decision to transfer the capital of India from Calcutta to Delhi—not the old city of that name, but a reclaimed desert outside and beyond the older settlement. It was in 1913 that the town planning committee reported in favor of the so-called Raislin site, beyond old Delhi. Although the intervening years of war and reconstruction have doubled the expense of the original project, which will cost at least $45,000,000 and many more millions in years to come, the work has never once been suspended since it was started. The principal architect of the new Delhi is Sir Edwin Luteny. Associated with Sir Edwin is Herbert Baker and a score of less famous architects. The government house, the central building of the whole scheme, will contain, among other official quarters, the state residence of the viceroy. It is now promised that this building will be ready for occupancy late in 1926. Sr Edwin Luteny and his associates are engaged in a work not unlike that which Major L'Enfant achieved in laying out the city of Washington. Each was given the task of preparing plans for a city to be built from the very beginning. In the scheme for the Indian capital, the government house will occupy a pivotal position in the municipality not unlike that which the capitol holds in Washington. The parliament buildings at Delhi will be less ambitious. Present expectations are that they will be ready for occupancy early in 1926. English of Future to Mix Cockney and Scotch London.—English as it will be spoken 500 years from now will not have much in common with the present-day abuses of the language, according to Daniel Jones, professor of phonetics at the University of London. In the far-away future generation Scotchmen will talk like Englishmen, while the general tongue of the highly cultured people will be "supercockney, with a little Scotch accent." Professor Jones' idea is that the language of today was cockney to Shakespeare, and that the speech of southern England now is getting nearer to the cockney. In some places the cockney has already the upper hand, and there is a decided trend in others to adopt the accent in words which contain the letter "a." The wide difference in the dialect of the English provinces accelerates this tendency, the professor says, as the various dialects weaken the common language and destroy its root after a few years. Within 500 years, Professor Jones predicts, the Gaelic language will have nearly disappeared and the native Irish (Erse) will be heard no more. Of this group of languages only Welsh will remain. The best example the lecturer knows of the English of the future is to take the word cart and pronounce it "car-r-r-t." Yank Teachers Dispute Methods With French Paris.—The psychology of asking school children questions is a point on which American teachers take issue with most French instructors. "Jean," says the French teacher in most schools, "stand up!" Then the question is asked. In American schools the process is reversed. The question is put fully, then some pupil is asked to answer it. "The difference is," said a recent visitor to Paris Iycees, "that in the French school the whole class knows instantly that Jean is the one to answer and the rest have no need to do any hard thinking. "In the American school, every one in the class is compelled to search his wits for an answer, because he or she may be called upon to rise. In that way the whole class answers the question, or tries to, although only one recites." World's Hottest Place Found in North Africa London.—Until recently Death valley, Cal., where a temperature of 134.1 degrees in the shade was registered at Greenland ranch on July 10, 1913, was considered the hottest place on the earth's surface. According to the quarterly journal of the Royal Meteorological society, this record has been broken at the Italian settlement of Azizia, in the semidesert region of North Africa, about twenty-five miles south of Tripoli, where a properly sheltered thermometer rose to 136.4 degrees. THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL PIGEON VETERANS OF WAR HAVE HOME Two of the Birds Carry the Scars of Battle. Los Angeles, Cal.—A home for United States army carrier pigeons, veterans of the World war, has been established here at the army pigeon lofts at Ross field, Arcadia. Included among the 200 birds at the home, all of which saw service overseas, are three honor birds, so distinguished because of their exceptional performances in action. Two of these, President Wilson and The Mocker, carry scars of battle. President Wilson sacrificed a leg and The Mocker an eye in the fight for victory. The third bird hero at the home, Spike, appears none the worse for his wartime experiences. His claim to fame lies in his record of having carried 51 messages of importance without being injured. Ray R. Delhauer, pigeon expert in charge of the army lofts, considers these birds heroes no less than the former soldiers. President Wilson, a slate-colored homer of great vitality and rapidity of flight, was first used in the tank corps. His work was so well done he was transferred to the Meuse-Argnone sector and stationed at Cubry. About five o'clock one rainy morning he returned from his second flight in this sector with his leg shot off. He had brought important messages at a speed of almost a mile a minute. On the morning of September 12, 1918, The Mocker arrived at his station with one eye destroyed and his head a wetter of blood. The message tube he carried contained information of great importance and gave the locations of several heavy artillery batteries which the Germans had been using effectively on the American troops. The American artillerymen had every enemy gun ip that sector silenced within twenty minutes after The Mocker arrived. Thus The Mocker was credited with saving many American lives. There also are a few German carrier pigeons at the home. They were captured from the enemy. Delhauer says these birds will be used for breeding and development, as they have proved superior to other varieties. Make Two Railroad Ties Where We Now Make One Syracuse, N. Y.-How to make two railroad cross-ties where we now make one is told by Prof. Nelson C. Brown, head of the department of wood utilization, New York state college of forestry, Syracuse university. The system explained by Professor Brown is the one generally followed in Europe. Railroad ties in Europe are narrower on the top than on the bottom. In the United States ties are largely cut square. This sort of tie is probably more serviceable than the European type, but the United States may soon be forced to follow the European method due to the shortage of timber, or find a substitute for wood ties which has not been possible up to the present time. In Europe the log from which ties are cut is trimmed on two sides only. In America the log is trimmed on four sides to make one square tie. By trimming the log on only two sides and cutting it through the center two ties are obtained. The diameter of the log represents the under surface of the tie and the trimmed sides represent the upper side upon which the rail rests. From trees 12 inches in diameter two ties with a 12-inch base are thus obtained. Trees 18 inches in diameter yield four ties by the same system of trimming and cutting the log twice, through two diameters at right angles. According to the usual method in the United States a 14-inch log, trimmed on four sides, will produce only one tie with a 10-inch base. The United States is the greatest user of wood ties in the world. Girl Student Forgets She Is Heiress to $250.000 Berkeley, Cal.—When Rudolph Banning, wealthy San Francisco and Honolulu resident, died a year ago, he left one-quarter of his $1,000,000 estate to his niece, Miss Ida Eleanore Weaver, University of California student, it was learned here. When questioned about it, Miss Weaver said she had been so interested in her studies she "had almost forgotten about it." Miss Weaver, who is a premedical student, said she is looking forward to founding a hospital after her graduation. London Girl Goes to Show; Checks Weapon London.—The police are trying to solve the mystery of a fashionably dressed and pretty young woman, bob haired and hattled, who casually checked a parcel in the cloakroom of Daly's theater. A curious checkroom attendant opened the package and found a live bomb of a well-known variety used by the British Tommies in the trenches during the war. The woman asked an usher to bring the parcel to her seat during the midst of the performance, but the bomb had already been given to the police. The woman left the theater unobserved.

J., Dec. 30.—An orphans' home in Atlantic City was ordered to remove two white babies found in the homes of two colored families that were left by two white woman, who stated that the fathers of their babies had disappeared. The two white women, Alice Gelger and Mrs. Margaret Bowman, were ordered to pay $5 per week for maintenance of the infants. The two colored families who would have probably brought the white babies up among their people made no protest when the court order was shown them. Police are seeking the fathers. WHITE SOUTHERNER IS DUPE OF NEGRO, SAYS WRITER (Continued from page 1) sometimes find a gritty grain of sense in this prediction. My friend, Professor W. P. Dabney, of Cincinnati, supports it by a subtle observation in his estimable journal, the Union. Writing of the antics of Garvey and his Universal Negro, Improvement Association, and in particular of the Association's proposed debate upon the tint of the Lord God Jehovah, the Professor says: One fact is assured; if Garvey and company decide that black is the appropriate color for God, Jesus, and the Virgin Mary, then most American citizens will become infidels and go to heil rather than worship black divinities. The only tling black the white man loves is a woman. "I invite you, gentlemen," says Mr. Hussey, "to observe and ponder the professor's concluding sentence. Is it the voice of libel? Or is it the voice of prophecy? "LOST VIGOR RESTORED IN 24 HOURS" "Glands Renewed In One Day" Is the Amazing Statement of a 76-Year-Old Veteran. Lost vigor, deadened glands and nerves, and that weak, worn-out, deformed skin can be dreaded any longer since the discovery of Mando Formula. Now it is positional, and the skin is old; to become "rejuvenated" and again the "vital force of youth," often in a day's time, with Mando Formula is is now the skin that takes the treatment. This famous discovery is bringing "renewed youth" and skin in places where everything else had fallen. "I want to say that my 'lost vigor' was restored and 'glands renewed' in twenty-four hours, says D. H. Peake, in City, NY. I don't feel a day over 40. But I don't feel a day over 40. Before I started taking the treatment I felt I was an old, worn-out man; but now I am a young man. I have tormentation and am convinced my 'rejuvenation' is complete and permanent. May God's blessing rest on the discoverer. This wonderful formula, prepared by one of the largest laboratories in the world and generally known as Mando, seems to work like magic in its radicity on people of all ages and sexes. No matter how bad your condition, no matter what your age or occupation, no matter what your job or lacking in "vigor" and the "vital force of youth," we are so confident Mando Formula will restore you that we offer you $1.95 on 14 days' trial.
