FORTY-FIRST YEAR NO.7
RUMOR HOWARD'U' PRESIDENT WANTS A VICE PRESIDENT
President Not There to Offer Terms When Strike of Students Occured.
(Special to the Bulletin-Appeal.)
Washington, D. C., May 22.-The Alumni of Howard University are alarmed over the persistent and widespread rumor that President Durkee is to recommend to the Trustee board at its June meeting the creation of the office of vice president at a large salary, far larger than that of any of the veteran servants who have given to the school its high standing among the universities of the land. Large numbers of the alumni are loath to believe that the trustees will be led into any such extravagance, for they see that Dr. Durkee hasn't sufficient work here to keep him busy, having time to hold the presidency of the Curry School of expression in Boston where no colored student is admitted, and to head the difficult effort of raisin an endowment for this undemocratic institution. They cannot see why Howard shall be called upon to furnish another high salaried officer to do the work of Dr. Durkee so as to give him leisure to hold his other presidency far removed from our race, and to make frequent fees for substituting in the various white pulpits of this city for all denominations. So that Alumni objects to the creation of this wholly new office on the ground that there is no need of it.
Second, it objects because it means the wastage of the university's meager funds. With a large body of self-supporting students in need of aid funds to help them in their heroic struggle upward in the world, and the professorial staff giving their valuable service at rediculously low wage, it seems incredible that the trustee board will ignore the real needs of the university and divert its resources to the already disproportionate cost of the president's office.
The alumni has no candidate, for it is distinctly opposed to such a novel suggestion; but if it must come we want an educator and an administrator, one who has appraised higher education sufficiently high to have acquired it for himself, and one who has chosen education as his life's work. We hold that our university should not be used to give sinecures to aged men who have passed their period of usefulness in other fields. There are many men and women in all departments of the university who would dignify such an office and be able to render the university some service by virtue of their long experience in educational pursuits. We see the greatest of our alumni, Prof. Kelly Miller, whose scholastic achievements and lofty station in the world of education and letters have done most to give Howard her fair fame throughout the nation. We see Dr. Sterling N. Brown, of the theological department, a scholar of fine diplomacy who could do much to relieve the immensely strained relations between the president on one side and the alumni, faculty and student body on the other, so detrimental to the university; a gentleman whose wide contacts with philanthropy could be used to great profit. If a younger man is preferred, why not Prof. Charles Wesley, with his large influence over young people and his standing among educators and scholars? We could go on indefinitely naming the splendid material at the school, to whom such a reward for faithful service should come, if the trustees are determined to give the university this office which we hold should not be created.
When the strike of the student body occurred, the president was not here to confer with the students and offer them new terms, for he was off on one of his frequent trips to Boston at the white school administering to its needs. His (Continued on page two)
Jury Acquits Rev. Joseph W. Harris On Fight Charge
Pilot and Herod had not been on good terms prior to the arrest of Jesus. But the fact that they made friends on the same day that the trial began proved the old maxim that "Birds of a feather flock together." All these things were demonstrated in the conduct of the two families living to the right and left of the house occupied by Rev. Harris. People who had not been on speaking terms were seen getting together on the day of the trial, which began last Friday morning and ended Tuesday. The St. Paul city car driven by Mr. McCauley was freely used in conveying their newly made friends to the trial. There they offered testimony that would have convicted the president of the United States had he been a black man in a southern court.
But, as stated by the city attorney, they wanted a white jury for the trial and they got one, but Attorney Smith saw to it that they did not get the "red neck" variety, but an intelligent white jury, which possessed the wisdom of Solomon that enabled them to read between the lines. They discredited the statements of of the witness offered by the prosecution, which had evidently trained them, and noticeably overtrained some of them, this being brought out by the attorney for Rev. Harris on cross examination.
Attorney O. J. Smith of St. Paul represented Rev. Harris, and made a splendid and most eloquent plea to the jury not to be swayed by race prejudice, which had most assuredly crept into the case. Judge Conrad Olson instructed the jury to weigh the intelligence and credibility of the witnesses testifying on either side, and although this was one of the most bitter cases tried in the municipal court for years, it was clear that Judge Olson was not the least prejudiced, and he evidenced this fact during the trial.

ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, MAY 23, 1925
MRS.M.JENNINGS PIONEER SCHOOL TEACHER DIES
Pioneer School Teacher and Member of Well Known Kentucky Family.
Louisville, Ky., May 22—Mrs. Mathilda Clarkson Jennings, whose death occurred last week in this city after an illness of several months, was buried from the Church of our Merciful Saviour (Episcopal) Sunday, May 17th. Mrs. Jennings leaves a son, Eugene Jennings, prominent attorney of Los Angeles, Cal., and a daughter, Carrie, of Lexington, Ky.
For many years Mrs. Jennings followed the vocation of a nurse and was employed by the late C. P. Moorman, wealthy distiller, to care for his son, C. F. Moorman. At the death of Mr. Moorman he bequeathed to Mrs. Jennings valuable real estate and $10,000.
Mrs. Jennings was the niece of the late Dabney Page, who at one time was reputed to be the wealthiest colored man in Kentucky. She was a daughter of the late Samuel Clarkson and Eliza Page Clarkson, the latter being a sister to Mr. Page. Upon the death of her husband Mrs. Clarkson and daughter became members of Mr. Page's household. Young Mathilda was carefully educated and became proficient in music. She was one of the most refined and beautiful young women of her day.
Back in the seventies she was married to Professor Eugene Jennings of Washington, D. C., a former resident of Virginia. With her husband she taught a parochial school in connection with the Church of our Merciful Saviour when the church was only a mission with not more than a dozen communicans.
Mrs. Jennings, known to her intimates as "Dought," was a lovable type of true womanhood. She was reserved and of quiet demeanor with an affectionate devotion for her relatives and friends. She had a peculiar reverence for the customs and traditions of her childhood. To many she lived in another age—an age of long ago. She leaves quite an estate to her son and daughter, who are the immediate beneficiaries.
Glenn Frank To Be President of 'U'of Wisconsin
Madison, Wis., May 20.—Announcement that Dr. Glenn Frank had accepted the presidency of the University of Wisconsin was greeted in scholastic circles here with general satisfaction.
Definite information as to when Dr. Frank will come to Madison to accept his duties has not yet been received, but the plan here is to have him meet alumni representatives during the commencement exercises late in June.
It is hoped that he will be able to take over the duties of his office on July 1.
CHINESE BARRED FROM
WHITE SCHOOLS IN MISS.
Jackson, Miss., May 22.—Chinese must attend segregated schools in Mississippi the same as Negroes. It was decided in the State Supreme Court last Monday.

Fraternities Honor Her in Des Moines
Mrs. Eva L. Abbey
Mrs. Eva Abbey Grand Matron of O.E.S.Honored
Des Moines, Ia., May 22.—Special—As one of the results of the recent organization in this city of a fraternal council composed of representatives of all fraternities, there was held last Wednesday evening, at the Y. W. C. A. center, a reception in honor of Mrs. Eva L. Abbey, Grand Matron of the Order of the Eastern Star, but participated in by representatives of both grand and subordinate bodies of seven different fraternities.
Mrs. S. Joe Brown, president of the Des Moines Fraternal Council and International Grand Matron of the O. E. S., presided and in an appropriate manner presented representatives of the various organizations assembled. A very interesting array of speakers gave an exchange of fellowship and valuable ideas for the growth and development of fraternal work. Mrs. Abbey responded to the honors bestowed upon her in a fitting address that was well received by her auditors.
The gathering was declared a great stimulant to higher effort which will be repeated in the future. The Grand Matron returned home this week after a most successful official visit to the O. E. S. chapters in her jurisdiction.
Demonstration For Mothers at 'Y' Today
Today at the Y. W. C. A., 598 W. Central Avenue, between 2 and 6 P.

London, Canada, May 22.—Praises are being heaped upon Helen, the 10 year old daughter of Mr. and. Mrs Richard Ball of this city, who won third place in an instrumental contest at the Hobby Fair which was sponsored by the Rotary Club.

GA. ODD FELLOWS UNABLE TO PAY DEATH CLAIMS
Lodge Building Which Is Heavily Mortgaged Is Out of Order's Control.
Atlanta, Ga., May 23. According to statements made public here this week scores of death claims held by beneficiaries of former members of the Odd Fellows District Grand Lodge of which Benjamin J. Davis, editor of the Atlanta Independent, is grand secretary, are unpaid and attempts to collect them are being referred to a receiver recently appointed by a local court which is said to have taken complete charge of all affairs of the order.
The Davis faction of the order, known as the "Georgia Corporation," has been fought by the national order through the B. M. C. and Sub-Committee of Management, which is represented in Georgia by Anthony Graves, R. E. Pharrow and Edward L. Collier. It is this faction which has succeeded in typing up the affairs of the Davis branch. It is reported that the Odd Fellows' Building on Auburn avenue, erected some years ago, is heavily mortgaged and is cut of the order's control. One allegation is that the defunct Standard Life Insurance Co. first held these mortgages and thus gained control of the building, and that with the passing into white control of the insurance company the building has gone the same way. Another report is that the claims held by beneficiaries, which are unpaid, aggregate considerably more than the actual assets of the Davis Grand Lodge, and that the receiver is telling all who to him for information that he can do nothing at the present time, and that they will have to wait until funds are made available through collections.
Prof.H.A.Miller OfOhioState'U' To AddressMeet

The Philadelphia branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through its president, Isadore Martin, is arranging for at least one Pullman car full of delegates and members from Philadelphia and vicinity to attend the conference. All those intending to go to Denver are again strongly urged to send their names to the national office of the N. A. A. C. P., 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, in order that proper accommodations may be arranged for.

Twin City Elks 2nd Joint Ball Grand Success
About four hundred happy people, young and old, enjoyed the second joint ball of the Ames and Gopher Lodges of Twin Cities Elks at the South Side Auditorium, Minneapolis, last Monday evening. The familiar finale strains, "Home Sweet Home," interpolated in fox trot time, found the joyous dancers and spectators loath to leave for their homes.
These joint entertainments are setting a standard in the conduct of affairs that can be copied with profit by other organizations. The Elks maintain perfect order and that is a condition much desired. All in all the second Elks' ball of the Twin Cities was a great success.
Mrs. Susie Yeiser, chairman of the joint Daughter Elks publicity committee, announced that the Daughter Elks will give their second joint ball at the South Side on Monday, June 8

RECALL COLORED MEN WHO FOUGHT AT BUNKER HILL
Free Historical Leaflet on Colored Soldiers Offered By League.
Boston, Mass., May 18, 1925.—Today the National Equal Rights League, with headquarters here began its annual campaign for a nation-wide observance of "Peter Salem Day" in honor of Peter Salem, colored soldier of the American Revolution, and his comrades of Color who fought in the Battle of Bunker Hill, first pitched battle of the American Revolution which was waged for American liberty and the founding of this first American Republic.
The Battle of Bunker Hill was fought on June 17th, 1775, at Charlestown, Mass., a part of Boston, where a lofty monument was erected on June 17th, 1825. The corner-stone was laid by General Lafayette, the great French general who brought over French troops against the British, and Daniel Webster was the orator. Peter Salem was only one of the Colored soldiers in the battle, his distinction being that he shot and mortally wounded the British Commander as he was declaring the victory. Salem Poor was later commended by the Mass. Assembly for bravery. Brazilai Lew was fifer for a whole Colored company. Descendants of these Colored soldiers live in Massachusetts, the Morris family of which the late Emery T. Morris, long president of the Boston Branch of the League, being descendants of Poor, and the Lew family of fifer Lew.
Boston will have a mammoth official celebration jointly by city and state with the Federal Government participating, as it is the 150th Anniversary, which fact the League claims in its Call issued today makes the occasion especially opportune for us to make known by mass meetings and newspaper articles what American histories obscure from both Colored and White Americans, namely that our race contributed soldiers brave and valiant as far back as the very beginning and helped bring this nation into being.
Peter Salem Leaflet Free.
As in the case of "Attucks Day" on March 5th, Citizenship Foundation Day, the League urges Colored citizens to observe "Peter Salem Day" on June 17 through Equal Rights Committees on Branch Leagues organized to permanently celebrate historical race days as a means of preserving our rightful place in American history and to emphasize title to equal freedom, rights, privileges and respect with all other citizens, for which cause these Equal Rights Committees and Leagues will contend under race leadership and control. Other racial bodies, religious, fraternal and civic are also urged to observe the Day. As an aid the League will send an historical leaflet upon receipt of 3 or 4 cents in stamps, on Peter Salem at Bunker Hill, together with a summary of Colored soldiers from 1770 to 1918. Pamphlets and information on the "Peter Salem Day" movement can be secured by writing to the Corresponding Secretary, William Monroe Trotter, 9 Cornhill, Boston, Mass.

PROBLEMS OF THE RACE
Much has been said and always will be said on the so-ealled
“Negro Problem.” It is discussed pro and con in books, newspa-
pers and other published periodicals. It is the subject of debate in
the forums of schools, colleges and universities. These oracles
offer various panacea for the solution of this time worn subject, but
apparently without avail. All seem to be actuated by a sincere de-
sire to settle the matter for the betterment of both races according
to their different points of view. But why waste time and energy
upon a mythical proposition? There is a vast difference between |
the “Negro Problem” and the “Problem of the Race.” One is
hypothetical and the other an actual condition. If the Negro or-
fers a problem to mankind, then the fault is not with the Negro,
but with his Creator. On the other hand the problems that con-
front the race are of concern only to itself. They are social and
economic in nature, and the solution must come from within it-
self.
‘The Negro contributes largely to this problem unconsciously,
more especially in the North, by his failure to become an agricul-
turalist. He rushes to the urban centers of population and be-
comes a dependent, whereas if he would go on a farm he would
become self sustaining and independent. Nature knows no color
line, and if a race is to succeed it must be able to work the soil for
the production of the essential things necessary for the sustenance
of life—whether they consist of food stuff, wool for clothing, hides
for shoe leather or what not.
The greatest problem of the race is economic. We are con-
sumers and not producer's. We educate our youth at the cost and
expenditure of large sums of money and denial to ourselves, but
refuse to contribute patronage to a race enterprise that possibly,
if successful, would give employment to a boy or girl we have sent
through school or college. We are envious of another's success or
qualifications. We would rather knock than boost.
These are some of the many problems that must be overcome
before we will be able to rise above the mediocre as a race. It is
not a problem that any white man is capable of solving or even
suggesting a solution. With the average white man colorphobia is
voila tout. This is a matter of grave importance to the race and
should engage the attention of every serious minded man and
woman.
HARRIET BEECHER STOWE HONORED
A bronze bust of Harriet Beecher Stowe, will be in a few
weeks unveiled in the “Hall of Fame” at the University of New
York. Prominent speakers will pay tribute to the memory of this
remarkable woman who contributed so largely in creating senti-
ment against the institution of slavery. The Pathos of “Uncle
Tom's Cabin” aroused the sympathy of the world and convinced
every fair minded human being of the enormous wrong of slavery
and its injustice to several million people but the southern white
man who profited through this system of subjugation.
The placing of the bust of this noble woman in a “Hall of
Fame” meets the approval of the race with whom she so deeply
sympathized. Her memory will live forever in their hearts for the
part she played toward’the alleviation of a miserable condition.
We revere and cherish that memory as a sacred shrine. We teach
our children to follow our footsteps in this respect and will pass it
on to posterity.
While we are hopeful at some time in the future to have our
lamented Douglass honored in like manner, we are grateful, never-
theless, to have tribute paid to one whose benefactions contributed
in such a great measure to our deliverance. She was surely in-
spired by God to render succor to His helpless children of dark
hued complexion. i

JOHN ROY LYNCH—STATES MAN—SOLDIER.
John Roy Lynch was born on @ plantationmin Concordia Parish, La.,
September 10, 1847, where he spent his boyhood without the advantages
of attendance at #hool. After the death of his father, Patrick R. Lynch,
he moved to Natchez, Miss., in 1863, and engaged in the business of photog:
raphy. He attended an evening school and acquired an elementary know!-
edge of an education that served as a foundation upon which to build for
the acquirement of a “broad and liberal knowledge in general. Through
Petseverance he overcame the handicap {mposed upon him in childhood and
Became a well informed and cultured man, e
In 1869 he was appointed a justice of the peace by Gen, Ames, Military
Governor of Mississippi. Following this appointment he was elected in
November, 1869, a member of the state legislature and was re-elected in
1871. He displayed fine ability as a legislator and possessed a careful
Knowiedgo of parliamontary law. He wus chosen speaker of the house of
ives in 1872 and at the close of the session of that body he was
e ‘with a gold watch and chain by the members as a testimonial

old opponent and the election officers returned him as defeated. He made
a suceessful contest and was seated. The briefs used in the case were pre-
pared by Mr. Lyneh, for which he received many compliments, even by the
Toponiny couaeet
Tn Congress he was active in debate. His speeches attracted wide at-
tention. His reply to Judge Lamar on the Southern situation was a master-
plece of logic and eloquence. He was a delegate to the National Republican
Convention in 1872, 1884 and 1888. In 1884 he was made temporary
chairman of the convention and seconded the nomination of President
Arthur. In 188% he placed Judge Gresham in nomination for the presi-
dency, and made a speech in favor of the adoption of a resolution to make
the nomination of General Harrison unanimous.
President Harrison appointed him fourth auditor of the treasury, where
he remained until 1893. At the outbreak of the Spanish-American war he
was appointed a paymaster in the regular army, with the rank of major,
by President McKinley. He remained in the army until retired in 1911.
John R. Lynch represented the type of manhood necessary to fight
courageously for the rights of citizenship at the time it was conferred upon
the race. His life was often threatened by opponents, but he faced his duty
unfiinchingly. The K. K.,K. could not intimidate him. He was on the
stump fp every national campaign from 1868 until he entered the service of
the army.
Mr. Lyneh settled in Chicago after his retirement and is taking life
quietly in the enjoyment of health with a keen interest in present day con-
ditions. Major Lynch resides at 4028 Grand Boulevard.

| Gleanings From Our Exchanges
A pseudo-preacher by the name of Love who claims that he has pas-
‘tored large and prominent churches In Detroit and other Northern cities:
the facts of whieh have proved to be untrue; is now practicing his bogus
claims of being a minister of some local church in the city,
: He has abused ministerial courtesy in the courts, and before public
officials, violating hospital regulations and annoying patients. This sort of
@ practice discounts the Negro ministry and puts Negro churches in an un-
favorable position.
| However, such a practice could be stopped if the Negroes of the city
‘will cease to tolerate this type of an individual. The time has come when
imposters, and bogus men (posing as ministers) must be exposed, and pub-
licly repudiated. The ministry is too sacred an institution to be prostituted.
And those who are so low in their viciousness that they will stoop to the
desecration of this divine institution, are unworthy of any consideration of
any fair-minded people. =
; It is said that another man who has lived in the city for a great while,
posing as a minister, solicits funds annually from white citizens in outlying
sections of the city for a church that only exists in the mind of the imposter.
He uses the names of established churches frequently in conducting
his iniquitous traffic, and preys upon the religtously-minded white friends
of the race. This individual, we understand, has found this to be profitable
and lucrative business, and he is building for himself a splendid financial
position at the expense of the colored Christian churches.
‘This sort of thing must be stopped. The BUFFALO AMERICAN calls
upon its readers to co-operate in a movement to expose and repudiate this
imposition.—BUFFALO AMERICAN.
BUFFALO AMERICAN.
‘ Buffalo is not the only community afflicted with this species of wolf
in the guise of sheep clothing. Wherever dwells the genuine you will find
‘the counterfeit in most every activity in life. They are a serious menace
to the progress of the race. We have interlopers in journalism as well as
in the professions. The pseudo-minister or editor is usually of the illiter-
ate class, but occasionally includes the college man, They often wear long
‘frock coats, gold eye-glasses and ape the air of either an intellectual or the
personification of sanctity. The race owes it to itself to expose these para-
sitie hypocrites by co-operating with the department of justice. 1 -

Fifth Avenue, New York, has asked
Postmaster General Harry S. New to
take action against the editor of The
Argus, a white paper published at

publishing an editorial directly incit-

The editorial complained of the ac-

of the department, who declares the

Brooks seldom goes about the hotel. He unlocks the box where the guests have deposited their money for rooms once every week or so. The housekeeping, such as making beds and cleaning rooms, is done by a servant. The hotel is convenient to the business section of the town. It is an attractive building and the rooms are large and well fitted.
On entering the lobby the guests at once see the rules and regulations hanging on the wall. First is the book where the name of the guest and the number of the room he takes are registered. Then on the wall is a small blackboard, on which is a list of numbers of the occupied rooms and the unoccupied rooms. When a guest takes a room he erases it from the list of unoccupied rooms and writes the number of the room with the list of the occupied.
On the table is a container holding envelopes. Each guest takes an envelope and writes the number of his room on it, places the money he owes for the room in it and seals it, then, before leaving the hotel, drops it in a lock box on the table.
Oftentimes, Mr. Brooks says, he gets letter from persons who have stayed at his hotel saying how they enjoyed being a guest in such a unique hotel. He also says that he has been cheated out of only $2.
Predicts Man Will Lose
Teeth, Toes, All His Hair
Boston.-Man will lose many, if not all, his teeth, he will be absolutely hairless and he undoubtedly will lose certain toes and fingers. These predictions are based on scientific study by E. E. Raymond, professor of paleontology and geology at Harvard university.
These changes will not come until man has passed through a series of evolutionary phases, which probably will cover 40,000 to 75,000 years, according to Professor Raymond. He predicts heightening and broadening of the forehead and enlarging of the skull for bigger brain and longer face.
"The future man," he said, "is as certain to lose his teeth as the ape man of the past lost his tail. The ape man used his teeth to tear sinews, break nuts and as weapons of offense in fighting. Civilization has done away with these conditions.
"Hair is a defense given by nature against cold. Civilization gave man coats and artificial coverings. Baldness is on the increase, while it probably never existed on ancient man. In 40,000 years man may be as bald as a billiard ball.
"That man will lose certain fingers and toes also seem to be a biological certainty. When man climbed trees to escape from animals his toes were needed to give him footholds. Now they are quite useless. The shape of the human skull and man's erect position are designed to promote an increase in the size and weight of the brain."
Yank Forbids Samoans
Apla, Samoa.—The title of "tulmanu'a" of the Manua district of American Samoa has been prohibited by the governor, Capt. Edward S. Kellogg, United States navy.
Manuans who claim the right to bestow the title are aggrieved.
The governor explained he would not allow the title to be held for the reason that it was equivalent to a kingship, and under the American government there could be no king.
A large number of Samoan titles are designated at "tul." The word is Tongan, introduced into the Samoan language. A dictionary of the Samoan language defines it is "high chief" or "king." But the Samoan word for king is "tupu."
A tulmanu'a does not exercise any political power, but his person is considered sacred and he commands the highest respect.
Find Footprints Made
10,000,000 Years Ago
Washington, D. C.—Dinosaur tracks made approximately 10,000,000 years ago, during the Triassic age, probably the first footprints of this geological period found in the Rocky mountains area, have been identified on the Navajo Indian reservation in Arizona, near the Grand Canyon National park.
An announcement by the Interior department recently said the tracks occur in a thin layer of rocks about seven miles from Tuba City. The footprints measure 16 inches in length with a spread of 18 inches. The stride is shown to be 58 inches. The toes bore sharp claws, indicating the animals belonged to the bipedal carnivorous dinosauria.

Potts Motor Company's colored baseball team, managed by Bill Brooks, is due to cut quite a swath in northwestern baseball circles. The team won its first out-of-town game, beating Princeton, Minn., 8 to 6, last Sunday. Brooks has assembled a strong aggregation of experienced baseball players. Among them are Eddie Boyd, short stop and relief hurler; B. Suggs, third sacker from Ft. Wayne, Ind.; H. Rice, second baseman from Des Moines; Bobby Marshall, first baseman; Luck and Cooper, catchers; E. Jakson, D. Blackman, A. Freeman, outfielders; pitchers, Bill Freeman and Roberts. Potts' boys will play the Minneapolis Great Northern team today (Saturday) at Bottineau Field. Sunday they will play the Oxboro, Minnesota, team.
Somebody Wuz Sayin'---
That when a certain young lady steps on it at the Rondo street cafe she sure knows how to "stir her grease."
That the Sheik of oRndo street better be careful. "Tattler's watching."
That the residents a mile west of Deep Rondo are now designating themselves as residing on "Short Roblyn."
Some Truth and Some???
Along the "State" or "Beale" street of Minneapolis—6th Avenue North—one can hear the most curious things. Young men who in the cold Minnesota winter just past, cried and sang the proverbial "blues" for lack of jobs, will now tell you that they will work if you will bring the job to them. Sweet old summer time.
Every time the Jewish merchants on 6th Avenue or Rondo street close for their special holidays the colored population fasts. You see they quite forget there are merchants of their own complexion in the neighborhood.
We'll bet you don't know where "Climber's Rqw" is located in Minneapolis?
"Shorty" rises to say that St. Paul may have the best ball team, but the Minneapolis girls are all "home runs."
Sometimes we wonder what's wrong with Kansas City, every third person you meet hails from there. W. B. W. says that a lot of folks who say their native heath is Chicago or Kansas City only stopped there on their way up from the "basement."
Minneapolis and St. Paul may not have the most progressive people in the country, but they have the best and most accomplished "knockers." Who said "Amen?"
And priethe, who is poor Madame? Tattler knows.
We notice with pleasure that large quantities of moon were absent from a recent dance. What's the matter—have the bootleggers gone on a strike?

looking down on New York harbor
must have blushed under the reverent
gaze of millions of immigrants. Only
|ia October, 1924, did she come into
her own, officially—she was made
national monument by an executive
‘order of President Coolidge. The or
der reads that Fort Wood, N. Y.
‘spall be made a national monument.
Fort Wood is no more and nd less
than the Statue of Liberty enlighten-
ing the world.
In the same order that made the
Statue of Liberty what the American
people thought she was, four other
military reservations or parts of them
were set aside as national monuments
‘open to the public. One of these, Fort
Marion at St. Augustine, Fla., ts well
known. The others, Castle Pinckney,
Charleston Harbor, 8. 0.; Fort Pu-
lash, near Savannah, Ga. and Fort
Matanzas, near St. Augustine, are less
well known,
What They Commemorate,
“A massacre which probably was
the most terrible committed on Amer-
tean sofl, the only intact example of
@ medieval foft in North America, the
aite where rifled guns first spelled the
doom of parapets, the scene of the
Civil war's first shot and the Arst suc-
cesstul submarine attack, and the
modern world’s equivalent of the
Colossus of Rhodes—these are the in-
cidents memorialized by the five new
national monuments," says a bulletin
of the National Geographic society
from its headquarters in Washington.
“History knits together the stories
ot Fort Marion and Fort Matanzas,
the latter 15 miles to the south. Doa
Pedro Menendes, the ‘adelantado’ or
governor of Florida, founded St. Au-
gustine in 1565 as a base from which
to attack the Huguenot colony at Fort
Caroline, 80 miles north. Spain
¢laimed ‘the Huguenots trespassed on
their territory. But the Huguenots,
French Protestants, who had come for
religious freedom Uke the Pilgrims
were to come @5 years Inter, decided
to surprise the Spanish.
“Their fleet swooped down on St.
Augustine but a Florida hurricane
Grove the French vessels on the beach
some miles south, wrecking every vee
sel. After a forced march Menendes
captured Fort Caroline. All the de
fenders were killed and the women
and children were carried away. Re-
turning to St. Augustine he rushed
south to meet the shipwrecked French
‘They surrendered unconditionally.
“Binding the arms of his prisoners
Menendez started them in parties to-
ward St. Augustine, Near the site of
the new national monument, Fort
Matanzas, he placed a firing squad.
Florida's white sand was stained with
the blood of 200 French that day.
Matanzas in Spanish means ‘massa-
a
“Under the protection of the walls
ot Fort Marion, first known as San
Juan de Pinos and later as St. Mark,
the Spanish introduced into America
Uimes, lemons, citrons and China and
Seville oranges.
“Discovery of coquina, a soft shell
and coral stone, near St. Augustine
‘about 1570, led to the replacement of
the wooden structure with the mate-
rial a visitor sees today. Old Fort
Matanzas is coquina also. ‘Thirty mil-
Yon dollars 1s the reported cost of
Fort Marion, When King Ferdinand
IV heard this he exclaimed: ‘What!
1s this fort built of silver dollars?’
“Today the War department keeps

First of the New Buildings Is
Nearing Completion.
‘London.—Despite unforeseen obsta-
cles and many delays Incident to the
great war, the work of rearing the new
Indian capital at Delbl has gone stead-
fy 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, an-
nounced the decision to transfer the
capital of India from Calcutta to Detht
—not the old city of that name, but @
reclaimed desert outside and beyond
the older settlement.
It was In 1918 that the town plan-
ning committee reported In favor of
the so-called Raisini site, beyond old
Delht, Although the intervening years
of war and reconstruction have dou-
bled the expense of the original pro}-
ect, 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 Lutyens. Assoct-
ated with Sir Edwin Is Herbert Baker
and a score of less famous architects.
‘The government house, the central
buflding of the whole scheme, will con-
tain, 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,
Sir Edwin Lutyens and his assoct-
ates are engaged in a work not unilke
that which Major L’Enfant achleved in
laying out the city of Washington.
Each was given the task of preparing
Plans for a ctty to be built from the
¥ery beginning. In the scheme for the
Indian capital, the government house
will occupy @ pivotal position in the
municipality not unlike that whieh the
capitol holds in Washington.
‘The parliament bulldings at Delhi
will be less ambitious. Present expec-
tations are that they will be ready for
occupancy early in 1926.

ADMISSION 50 CENTS ‘
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 pres-
ent-day abuses of the language, accord-
ing to Dantel Jones, professor of pho-
netics at the University of Lon-
don. In the faraway future genera-
tion Scotchmen will talk like English-
men, while the general tongue of the
highly cultured people will be “super-
cockney, with a little Seoteh accent.”
Professor Jones’ idea is that the lan-
guage of today was cockney to Shake
speare, and that the speech of south-
ern Engiand now is getting nearer to
the cockney.
Tn some places the cockney has al-
ready the upper hand, and there is a
decided trend in others to adopt the
accent in words which contain the let-
ter “a.” The wide difference in the
dialect of the English provinces accel-
erates this tendency, the professor
says, as the various dialects weaken
the common language and destroy its
root after a few years,
Within 600 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 Ragiish of the future ts
to take the word cart and pronounce
It “car-r-r-t.”
Yank Teachers Dispute
Methods With French
Paria—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 tn
most schools, “stand up!”
‘Then the question is asked.
In American schools the process ts
reversed. The question Is put fully,
then some pupil Is asked to answer It
“The difference is," sald a recent
visitor to Paris lycees, “that in the
French school the whole class knows
Instantly that Jean Is the one to an-
swer and the rest have no need to do
any hard thinking.
“In the Amertean school, every one
Im the class t# 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 thé ques.
tion, or tries to, although only one re
cites.”
