DURKEE DIVIDES SCHOOL INTEREST Colored Heroes of 1775 Are To Be Honored Join the St. Paul Branch of the Urban League Today! 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.

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. The highest tribunal of the state ruled that Chinese children are not eligible to attend the white public schools of Mississippi in reversing and remanding a case groupt from the Circuit Court of Bolivar County. 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. M., the Harriet Tubman Civic League, assisted by the Baby Welfare Association, will give a demonstration and tea for the benefit of mothers and their babies. All mothers are infited to be present, as a musical program will be rendered and suitable gifts presented to the children. Mrs. Caroline Montjoy Jones, I. N., Dr. J.

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 Professor Herbert Adolphus Miller of Ohio State University, recently tendered the presidency of Fisk University, has accepted an invitation to address the 16th annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Denver, Colo., this June. Charles Edward Russell of Washington, a member of the N. A. A. C. P. board of directors, has also accepted an invitation to speak. 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. YOUNG MILL CITY WOMAN SUCCUMBS TO ILLNESS Mrs. Georgia Cunningham Wright, 122 W. 28th St., Minneapolis, died Monday, May 5, at Glenn Lake San- tarium. She is survived by her母 er, Mrs. Robert Cunningham, a hus- band, Robert Wright, a daughter, three sisters and three brothers, and other relatives. Funeral services were held at Neal's Undertaking Parlors Thursday, May 7. Interment at Hillside Cemetery. Rev. H. C. Claybrook offi- ciated. Omega Psi Phi Frat To Hold Meet At Church On Sunday, May 24, the evening services at St. James A. M. E. church will be taken over by the local chapter of Omega Psi Phi fraternity. The purpose of the meeting is an attempt to further the friendly spirit which exists between University men and the colored communities in the Twin Cities. A program has been planned which is estimated to last one hour and fifteen minutes. The numbers have been selected with the special aim of pleasing all members of the audience. Mrs. S. E. Hall's male quartette, composed of high school and college men, will appear; Attorney DeVaughn of Minneapolis will give a short speech; there will be two surprise musical numbers. One of the features of the program will be the delivery of the oration with which Earl Wilkins won first place in the annual freshman-sophomore orational contest at the University of Minnesota. Mr. Walter Willis, president of the local organization, will preside. The program will start at promptly eight-fifteen o'clock. 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 Urban League Secures Position For Young Minn. Women in N. Y. Through the efforts of the St. Paul Urban League, two young women from Minnesota are now employed in responsible positions in the office of the National Urban League as assistant secretaries. These two young ladies, Miss Ethel Ray of Duluth and Mrs. Dorothy Steele of Minneapolis, went directly from St. Paul to New York through the local office of the league. Mr. Carter announces that there will probably be other openings in various league offices throughout the country to competent young women. GOV.

Shop Every Week in the Bulletin- Appeal The Dependable Medium PRICE: FIVE CENTS EREST Honored 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. BOY'S DECLAMATION WINS STATE MEDAL Millington, Md., May 22., Paul Jackson, 11-year-old colored pupil of the city public school, won the State Gold Medal for the best declamation delivered by the pupils of the public schools of Maryland.

PROBLEMS OF THE RACE has been said and always will be said on the problem." It is discussed pro and con in boo her published periodicals. It is the subject of schools, colleges and universities. Th Much has been said and always will be said on the so-called "Negro Problem." It is discussed pro and con in books, newspapers 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 desire 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 offers a problem to mankind, then the fault is not with the Negro, but with his Creator. On the other hand the problems that confront the race are of concern only to itself. They are social and economic in nature, and the solution must come from within itself. The Negro contributes largely to this problem unconsciously, more especially in the North, by his failure to become an agriculturalist. He rushes to the urban centers of population and becomes 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 consumers and not producers. 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 sentiment 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, nevertheless, to have tribute paid to one whose benefactions contributed in such a great measure to our deliverance. She was surely inspired by God to render succor to His helpless children of dark hued complexion. Americanization Series JOHN ROY LYNCH—STATESMAN—SOLDIER John Roy Lynch was born on a plantation in Concordia Parish, La., September 10, 1847, where he spent his boyhood without the advantages of attendance at school. After the death of his father, Patrick R. Lynch, he moved to Natchez, Miss., in 1863, and engaged in the business of photography. He attended an evening school and acquired an elementary knowledge of an education that served as a foundation upon which to build for the acquisition of a broad and liberal knowledge in general. Through perseverance he overcame the handicap imposed upon him in childhood and became a well informed and cultured man. 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 knowledge of parliamentary law. He was chosen speaker of the house of representatives in 1872 and at the close of the session of that body he was presented with a gold watch and chain by the members as a testimonial from both parties for his impartial efficiency as a presiding officer. He was elected to Congress in 1872 and was re-elected in 1874. He was defeated by Gen. J. R. Chalmers in 1876. In 1880 he ran against his old opponent and the election officers returned him as defeated. He made a successful contest and was seated. The briefs used in the case were prepared by Mr. Lynch, for which he received many compliments, even by the opposing counsel. In Congress he was active in debate. His speeches attracted wide attention. His reply to Judge Lamar on the Southern situation was a masterpiece 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 1888 he placed Judge Gresham in nomination for the presidency, 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 courageous for the rights of citizenship at the time it was offered upon the Hilderstein. He represented the opponents, but he faced his duty unfinchingly. The K. K.,K. could not intimidate him. He was on the stump in every national campaign from 1868 until he entered the service of the army. Mr. Lynch settled in Chicago after his retirement and is taking life quietly in the enjoyment of health with a keen interest in present day conditions. Major Lynch resides at 4028 Grand Boulevard. Gleanings From Our Exchanges A pseudo-preacher by the name of Love who claims that he has pastored large and prominent churches in Detroit and other Northern cities; the facts of which 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 a practice discounts the Negro ministry and puts Negro churches in an unfavorable 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 publicly 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, solitely 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 religiously-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 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 illiterate class, but outwardly it is a professional. The eye- and oye-glasses and ape the air of either an intellectual or the personification of sanctity. The race owes it to itself to expose these parasitic hypocrites by co-operating with the department of justice. A Digest of General News Here & There New York, N.

Asks Post Office To Act Against Riot-Inciting Editor The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 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 Rockaway Beach, on Long Island, for publishing an editorial directly inciting to mob violence. The editorial complained of the actions of certain colored men toward local white women, says: "There is only one effective remedy for this and that is for the men of the community to take the matter into their own hands and mete out condign punishment on the spot. It is not a matter for the police or the courts. A creature who will insult a woman on the public streets puts himself outside the pale, and laws and courts were not made for him." The N. A. A. C.

C., has won, with "Maplebrook Double," the first prize in the National Seed Corn Show by the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation KILIMANJARO, THE EVEREST OF AFRICA Is Much Higher Than Blanc or Whitney. Washington, D. C. — Killimanjaro mountain of Tanganyika territory, which has been the object of a recent expedition, is one of the most notable "violent contrasts" in Africa, sometimes termed the continent of "violent contrasts." "Although Africa spreads itself to both temperate zones," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society, "by whim of geography its only notable snow peaks are under the sun's most direct glare and, of its 'high spots' near the Equator, Killimanjaro is chief." "Killmanjaro was unknown to the world a century ago, and unscaled until 1889, but now a railway from Mombasa approaches its flanks. In its way it, affords Africa claim to the greatest mountain on the face of the earth. Everest, at 29,002 altitude is almost 10,000 feet higher than Killmanjaro; there are even peaks having similar volcanic origin rising higher in South and Central America, but all of those great ones rise on the backs of their neighbors. Killmanjaro stands alone in the heat-scorched wind-swept plain. Without even the company of a mountain ridge it rises solitary from a plateau at 2,500 to 4,000 feet to the snow-capped, majesty of 19,819 feet. "Europe is proud of its Alps and Pyrenees and the United States considers the Rockies mighty mountains, yet Killmanjaro is nearly a mile higher than Mt. Whitney, America's tallest peak. It is almost 4,000 feet higher than Mt. Blanc, Europe's leading summit. Killmanjaro has for company on the equator Mt. Kenya, just over the border, giving its name to Kenya colony and the 'Mountains of the Moon,' officially Ruwenzorl, in Uganda, feeding the White Nile with water for Egypt. "Natives inhabiting the slopes of Killimjaro have the legend that the mountain has a silver peak. To tribes who have never seen snow, this seemed the most satisfactory explanation for the gleaming white cap. They associated it with their gods, and the first white men to explore it had great difficulty satisfying the natives that they would not drive away Rayli, the god in the form of a giant cow inhabiting the mountain's high plains. "The mountain is a small world in itself, or more properly half a world. The snow cap is its polar cap; the high, cold ridges, without vegetation, are like Labrador or the Alaskan steppe, but instead of harboring reindeer, they support flocks of eland. The mountain is a game preserve and the flocks thrive. "Next comes a belt of heather similar to that of the Scotch highlands. Then the elevation drops, the region of heavy precipitation appears and with it the rain-forest, almost constantly swathed in mist. This thins to the ordinary tropical forest and then dwindles to the mountain's 'temperate zone,' where the tribesmen live. It is estimated 125,000 people now reside on the slopes of Kilimanjaro, and they are counted by some explorers among the most intelligent and progressive natives of Africa. "The Chagga and other tribes even employ irrigation to grow their crops of bananas, sweet potatoes and grains. Sometimes they merely divert a mountain stream, but frequently considerable engineering skill is used to bring water through tubes or channels considerable distances. The forest belt, not Kilmanjaro's glaciers, supplies most of this life-giving water. The rain-forest is a vast sponge, drinking up the rain and squeezing it out in springs. Shun Crater and Plain. "Below the agricultural belt is the scorched dry plain. It is almost as impossible to get the natives to venture down to the hot plain as to get them to approach the ice-capped crater. "Elephants inhabit the thick forests of Killimanjaro's stopes. Explorers often see their spoons on banks seemingly impossible for such huge animals to manage. One writer reports seeing marks indicating that the elephants thrust their tusks into the ground to steady themselves on a descent, and that scruffed bark showed that they wound their trunks about trees to help themselves up to higher positions." Midget Sulu Chief Wins Liliputian Beauty Manila.-Diki Diki, diminutive chieftain of the island of North Ublan, Sulu, after many disappointments in love, has finally won the affections of Ajaratol, also a liliputian, and the wedding will take place shortly at Jolo, capital of the province. Diki Diki, who is the most important man of the island, is 36½ inches in height, while his fancee is 3 inches shorter. Ajaratol, who lives on the island of Usada, ten miles from North Ublan, is twenty-one, and has had many sultons for her hand. Diki Diki is fifty. Maharaju Kiram, Diki Diki's chief rival for the affections of Ajaratol, is to be best man at the wedding, and Imam Ovil, another rival, is to perform the Mohammedan ceremony. Some time ago, when the public school authorities gathered in all children of school age, Dikl Dikl was caught in the net. It was several months before his real age was discovered and he was released from school attendance. He declined, however, to quit school, and is now an ardent pupil in the second grade. DR L. T.

This hostelry has been in successful operation two years. It is owned by H. L. Brooks, sheriff and tax collector of the county. Mr. Brooks is so well pleased with his experiment of running a hotel on the honesty of his guests that he plans to add more rooms to accommodate the growing list of visitors. 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.

Only in October, 1924, did she come into her own, officially—she was made a national monument by an executive order of President Coolidge. The order reads that Fort Wood, N. Y., shall be made a national monument. Fort Wood is no more and no less than the Statue of Liberty enlightening 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, Fl., is well known. The others, Castle Pinckney, Charleston Harbor, S. O.; Fort Pulaski, 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 American soil, the only intact example of a medieval fort in North America, the site where rifled guns first spelled the doom of parapets, the scene of the Civil war's first shot and the first successful submarine attack, and the modern world's equivalent of the Colossus of Rhodes—these are the incidents 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 of Fort Marion and Fort Matanzas, the latter 15 miles to the south. Don Pedro Menendes, the 'adelantado' or governor of Florida, founded St. Augustine in 1565 as a base from which to attack the Huguenot colony at Fort Caroline, 50 miles north. Spain claimed the Huguenots trespassed on their territory. But the Huguenots, French Protestants, who had come for religious freedom like the Pilgrims were to come 65 years later, decided to surprise the Spanish. "Their fleet swooped down on St. Augustine but a Florida hurricane drove the French vessels on the beach some miles south, wrecking every vessel. After a forced march Menendes captured Fort Caroline. All the defenders were killed and the women and children were carried away. Returning 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 toward 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 'massacre.' "Under the protection of the walls of Fort Marlon, first known as San Juan de Pinos and later as St. Mark, the Spanish introduced into America times, 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 material a visitor sees today. Old Fort Matanzas is coquina also. Thirty million dollars is the reported cost of Fort Marion. When King Ferdinand IV heard this he exclaimed: 'What! is this fort built of silver dollars?' "Today the War department keeps both forts in repair. A Gallant Defense. "Fort Pulaski is located on the sea end of a sand spit dividing the mouth of the Savannah river. Built on the site of Revolutionary Fort Greene, which was destroyed by a hurricane, Fort Pulaski was taken over by Southern troops at the beginning of the Civil war. Union troops attacking Savannah brought up some of the first rifle cannon ever made and demanded the fort's surrender. The Confederate commander replied: "I have been sent here to fight, not surrender." Despite a gallant defense the rifled cannon pounded out a military lesson that scrapped most of the world's forts. "Fort Moultrie, that beat off a British fleet in 1776, and Fort Sumter, the Civil war's Serajevo, are twin guards to Charleston harbor. These two forts are still in active use so Castle Pinckney, an unused fort on Shutes' Folly island, has been named a national monument for Charleston harbor. It is opposite the point where batteries first poured shot into Sumter. Union forces used Castle Pinckney in their final attack on Charleston. It was in this harbor that the first submarine, run by steam, torpedoed a ship during the Civil war, but went to the bottom with its victim. Castle Pinckney also saw one of the first attacks of an armored fleet on forts. "Bedlee's island provides the footstool for Liberty. It has had a more peaceful history. France's gift of 1876 on the centenary of independence raised this 2½-acre oyster island of New Amsterdam to eternal fame. The Colossus of Rhodes in Asia Minor was one of the seven wonders of the world. Yet Liberty Enlightening the World rises to 151 feet above her pedestal, 26 feet higher than the reported height of the fallen wonder of the Near East. The American people immediately accepted Liberty with power and enshrined her as First Lady of American History." 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 Raisini 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. Sir Edwin Lutyens 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 lycees, "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 pf 134.1 degrees in the shade was registered at Greenland land 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. --- of the AMERICAN LEGION WILL GIVE A greater durability, greatly increased driving vision . . . big power . . . stronger axles . . . modern disc-type clutch . . . patented Triplex Springs . . unequalled economy . . an amazingly new low price.
