NATIONAL URBAN LEAGUE HEADS TO BE HONORED BY THE TWIN CITIES Howard University Confers Honor Degrees Establ. To Secure Just. Equality to All NATION BE HO Howard Too much credit cannot be given to the members of the R. W. P. M. Club, which on Tuesday afternoon at Pioneer Hall, so beautifully entertained the Grand Exalted Ruler of Elks, J. Finley Wilson, and his lovely wife, Mrs. Wilson, who is Grand Organizer of the Daughter Elks. Those who were fortunate enough to receive an invitation to this very elaborate luncheon will not easily forget the pleasing personality of the guest of honor and the eloquence with which he addressed the sixty guests seated around the most beautifully decorated table which the writer has had the pleasure of seeing for a long time. Mrs. Natalie Johnson, mistress of ceremonies, Rev. W. H. Griffin and Attorney J. Louis Ervin responded to the wonderful addresses of the Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Finley Wilson, and his wife. The service was wonderful. Six of St. Paul's popular and winsome young women acted as waitresses and looked like angels in their snow white dresses, fluttering in and out among the beautifully gowned ladies. The first course served was chicken patties, mashed potatoes, green peas and carrots, olives, pickles, radishes, hot buttered rolls, coffee and salted almonds. The second course was ice cream favors molded in the shape of an Elk's head, home baked cake with white and purple icing, after dinner mint. The elks heads were perfect in their design and nestled on gold tinted dollies. The service was on a table decorated with the most exquisite linen, cut glass and silver service, with flowers in abundance—white and red peonies, which looked most beautiful under the flickering lights of twelve colored candles resting in hammered silver and mahogany candle sticks. Space will not permit the names of the members of this club of ladies, but from all accounts everyone did her full duty and to all alike must be given the credit for making this the most beautiful affair of the season. On Tuesday evening a smoker was given at Union Hall, St. Paul for Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson is editor of the Washington Eagle, Washington, D.C. He is a candidate to succeed himself as Grand Exalted Ruler, after having held the office for four years, at the Elks oCvention to be held at Richmond, Va., in August. Lawrence, Kansas—Announcement is made of the marriage of Miss Gladys Anderson to Elmer E Pullum of Kansas City, Mo., on June 11. --- FORTY-FIRST YEAR NO. 12 PRES.

Dreamer, builder, master worker in young life and leader for those who would know the truth." Howard University is very conservative in the conferring of its degrees and the occasion is always an impressive one as the candidates are presented and invested with the colorful academic hoods indicating the degrees conferred.

WELL KNOWN ARKANSAN FOUND DEAD IN HOME Prescott, Ark., June 26.—Joe Johnson, 40, well known in this section, was found dead at his home by Richard Cross late last Saturday. It is not known what caused his death. A coroner's jury investigating Johnson's demise came to a decision of "death from undetermined causes." No marks or wounds were found on the dead man's body. Veteran Music House Head Dies M. B. William J. Dyer. W.J.DYER, HEAD OF MUSIC HOUSE SINCE 1871, DIES W.J.DYER, HEAD OF MUSIC HOUSE SINCE 1871, DIES Was Prominently Identified With Business and Professional Life of City. W. J. Dyer, head of W. J. Dyer & Bro., St. Paul music house, and dean of music house proprietors in the United States from the standpoint of length of time in business, died Sunday night at his home, 513 Grand avenue. Mr. Dyer had been identified with the business and musical life of St. Paul for more than half a century but is remembered particularly by pioneer residents of the city for his early work as a tenor soloist, organist and choir director. Educated in Boston. Born and educated in Boston, Mr. Dyer came to Faribault, Minn., in 1869 as a music teacher in St. Mary's school. Shortly after his arrival in Faribault, however, he established a musical instrument store and in 1871 he moved to St. Paul and founded the music house which bears his name. Three brothers who were associated with him in the business in St. Paul are dead. He had been deeply,but quietly interested in philanthropic work throughout his life in St. Paul but his charitable work was so unostentious as to be unknown to other than his most intimate friends. For 12 years he was president of the Children's Home Society, St. Anthony Park, and later was named president emeritus of the society. He also was an active worker in Plymouth Congregational church where, in the early days, he served as organist and choir director. The funeral was held Wednesday National Body DenouncesPastor Receiving Klan The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, today issued a statement denouncing the action of the Rev. Andrew Johnson who, is reported to have invited and received, robed members of the Ku Klux Klan at the services in his church in Atlantic City. If the press reports are correct, "The Rev. Andrew Johnson is a disgrace to the colored ministry," declared James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "The Klan has been and still is one of the most formidable foes to interracial peace in America. For any colored man to temperize or to meet the overtures of the Klan with any but unwavering opposition, is to sell his birthright for a mess of pottage. The Klan has, repeatedly declared itself for 'white supremacy' which it is sought to enforce by methods of terrorism. Any statement, therefore, to the effect that the Klan is not hostile to Negroes, as well as to Catholics and Jews, is sheer bunk. "The great body of colored ministers, who have stood firm and refused proffered contributions as well as visits of the Klan, ought to see to it that preachers of this type are held up to the just condemnation they deserve." Sterling Club To Give Lawn Fete The Sterling Club will entertain their members and families at a lawn fete at their club house on Dale and Rondo Streets on Thursday evening July 2nd, to meet the visitors in the twin cities. UPTOWN CLUB DEFEATS ST. PAUL PARK TEAM The Uptown Sanitary base ball club defeated the St. Paul Park club Sunday in a hotly contested game by a score of 3 to 2. The batteries for the Uptowns were Roach and Howard. The fielding of Woodard, Jackson, and Jimmie West were stellar features. Johnnie Davis and Dennis Ware—both past masters in the game, acted as pilots. They have been untiring in their efforts to raise the standards of the club and have succeeded in harmonizing conditions that have added strength to its efficiency. The club from now on will be a strong contender for the pennant of the Golden Valley League. The team will play the Lake Elmo club, Sunday at Lake Elmo. The bus will leave Rice Park promptly at one o'clock p. m. It is urgent that every booster and lover of the sport be promptly on hand. This will be the most exciting game thus far of the season, as the Lake Elmo club is the leader of the Golden Valley League.

New York, June 26. — President Coolidge has written a letter of greeting to the 16th Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People now in session in Denver, Colorado. President Coolidge's letter which was read at the opening mass meeting of the Conference last night (June 24), expresses his "strong conviction that his organization has had an important part in bringing about the manifest advancement in the fortunes of of the colored people, which has taken place in recent years." President Coolidge's letter, addressed to James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is in full as shown: "My dear Mr. Johnson: "I have your request for a message of greeting to the Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to be held in Denver, the last week of the present month. "The request is one with which it is a pleasure to comply, because of my strong conviction that this organization has had an important part in bringing about the manifest advancement in the fortunes of the colored people, which has taken place in recent years. The evidences of that advancement are so numerous that a mere recital of them would require a voluminous document. Many factors have contributed to bringing about this change for the better, and I join in your feeling of confidence that the improvement will continue under the wise leadership of the real friends of the colored race, and because of the sincere efforts of the colored people themselves in accomplishing the results which they so earnestly desire. "Most sincerely yours, (Signed) Calvin Coolidge."

Arnold Hill of the National Urban League and Mr. John Dancy, executive Secretary of Detroit, Mich. These gentlemen are on a tour of inspection of the various branches in the cities of the northwest, extending to the Pacific Coast. While here, incidentally, they will induct into office Mr. Abram Harris, the newly appointed executive secretary for Minneapolis. Mr. Harris is a "fellow" from the University of Pittsburgh and has been transferred from Richmond, Va. Mr. Jones has been identified with the Urban League movement since its inception over fourteen years ago. Through his guidance the work has grown from a mere desire and an appeal by a few thoughtful workers in sociology to a matured organization that challenges the admiration and support of the general public. When we recount the work and the results obtained by the Urban League we can appreciate its real value, not only to the race, but also to the nation as well. With the economic changes brought about through the World War, including the restriction of immigration, Colored workers were drawn from the plantations of the South to the industries of the North in large number. This change with increased compensation in wages, better living and school advantages, necessitated an orientation on the part of the migrant to best fit him as a factor in this new and larger industrial life. The rush to the urban centers of population created a problem that had to be solved, the supply of workers being in excess of the demand. The influx of the unsophisticated into northern cities naturally imposed responsibilities upon the resident members of the race in looking after the welfare of the newcomer. Here is where the necessity of the trained worker in welfare and sociological work was needed. The Urban League grew out of that demand. Its activities today are far reaching; it touches every phase of the life and well being of the race. Through its local secretaries barriers have been broken by appeals to reason and common decency, and opportunity and work obtained that formerly were inhibitive. It may well be said that through this useful organization the race has advanced 100 years since it began its work of instruction and reconstruction. Through its efforts better babies are born; motherhood, hygiene, cleanliness, proper food, clothing, ventilation, etc., are taught by specially qualified experts. Mr. Jones and his co-workers are accomplishing much good for the race. The citizens of the Twin Cities should show their appreciation of what the Urban League stands for by giving the national officers and the local secretaries a royal welcome. The Twin Cities have had an opportunity to see the Urban League function at close range through the St. Paul executive secretary, Mr. E. A. Carter. Since taking charge of this work in St. Paul, Mr. Carter has made himself almost indispensable to the needs of the community. He possesses the peculiar qualifications necessary for successful accomplishment. His work has been constructive and his influence for efficient achievement is an outstanding incentive to every race man, woman and child. WILLIAM J. DYER agret we chronicle the death of William Biness man in the Twin Cities, which occ her was born and educated in Boston. His teacher of vocal and instrumental music business career became apparent when a main musical merchandise. In 1871 he er Brothers, of which he remained the until his death. Dyer Brothers for mo me enjoyed an enviable national reputation With regret we chronicle the death of William J. Dyer, long a leading business man in the Twin Cities, which occurred Sunday night. Mr. Dyer was born and educated in Boston. He came to Minnesota as a teacher of vocal and instrumental music. The opportunity for a business career became apparent when he found it difficult to obtain musical merchandise. In 1871 he established the firm of Dyer Brothers, of which he remained the head and gave supervision until his death. Dyer Brothers for more than a half century have enjoyed an enviable national reputation in the musical instrument business world. The position of the firm has been unique, as its business has been built largely upon its reputation for handling dependable high grade lines of goods, square dealing, and personal contact. It can truthfully be said that the personality of W. J. Dyer was the chief factor in the success that has attended his long business career. He was known to every noted musician throughout the country. The house of W. J. Dyer and Brother has long been the rendezvous for recognized musical people coming to the Twin Cities, where they have been invariably made to feel at home by the geniality of Mr. Dyer. For more than fifty years it has occupied in this section a position relative to that of Brainard and Son, Cleveland; Lyon and Healy, Chicago, and Bradford Bros., Milwaukee. Mr. Dyer was a man of deep religious conviction and lived a life of constructive usefulness. He entertained a keen interest in young people, and particularly children. For many years he was president of the Children's Home Society of St. Anthony Park. His philanthropy was without ostentation and known only to his intimates. St. Paul has lost a valued citizen, and the colored people a loyal friend, through the demise of W. J. Dyer.

Mr. Wilkins depicts the emotional effect of proscription upon a young race graduate and composer, and a few friends, including himself, who had been invited to attend the graduation exercises and to hear the playing of his compositions. He tells of the keen, cutting, humiliation they were subjected to by being "jim-crowed" into a segregated part of the balcony in the auditorium on account of race prejudice. The ordeal was most trying to the sensitive natures of these young men and reflects the shameful condition of narrow-minded prejudice, intolerance, and un-Christian spirit entertained by the southern whites against colored people in that section. And with that they boast of their superiority. What mockery? Mr. Wilkins has written a real human story and has written it well.

Soon after his birth his mother was liberated, provided with funds, and sent to Philadelphia, where the boy received his primary as well as secondary education in private schools and academies. Early in his life young Johnson evinced a buoyant musical nature. He was inordinately emotional. With this natural aptitude he quietly began the study of music in all its branches. He became a proficient performer of almost every musical instrument as well as a gifted vocalist before he had reached the age of manhood. With much patience, judgment and tact, Mr. Johnson assembled the best musical talent possible, composed, of course, of free members of the race. The young impresario became instructor after sufficient instruments had been obtained and soon developed a select orchestra with which several cities were visited en torrage to the astonishment of the most optimistic abolitionist who had indulged in painting pictures of Negro prowess. This organization was not only novel in that day, from the fact that the performers were all colored, but it played excellent music and attracted favorable comment. Johnson then turned his attention to the organization and instruction of a brass band, which became famous for its fine martial music. Johnson's Celebrated Brass Band visited the leading cities of the North and East, and finally England. In England he gave concerts in all of the principal cities, being received everywhere with the most demonstrative marks of favor. They were commanded to play before Queen Victoria and her court. This noble-hearted sovereign was so highly pleased with the musical ability displayed by Mr. Johnson and other members of the band that she caused a handsome silver bugle to be presented to him in her name. Returning to this country after having won such high distinction, he became a center of attraction and thereafter maintained great popularity as a musician and wielder of the baton. He died in 1846. At this funeral the bugle, the gift from the queen, was placed upon the casket amidst a wealth of flowers and borne to the grave, as a fitting emblem of one of the most important victories he had won, as well as of the music life he had led. In these days of jazz with the wild blare and tinkle of brass and noise of trap and bass drum, it may be well to become reminiscent. There are still living men and women who can recall the famous Gilmore's band under the leadership of the late "Pat" Gilmore. It was one of the earliest organizations of the kind in the history of America and was triumphant at home and abroad. Johnson's Celebrated Brass Band was a contemporary of Gilmore's band. Pat Gilmore was a gallant man. He was big enough to be both chivalrous and generous. He paid the highest compliments to Frank Johnson and his musicians. In fact, Gilmore was one of the first musicians of note to accord the Johnson brass band and orchestra with possessing real merit and the ability to read and readily play difficult music as well as could the band of which he was the conductor. Johnson's Celebrated Brass Band was the first of its kind, composed of all colored players, in the history of the country. The memory of Frank Johnson should be perpetuated by a suitable tablet or statue—a shrine of inspiration and reverence to every member of his race. He pioneered in untried seas and through undaunted courage and perseverance overcame the obstacle of race prejudice, conquered, and won historic victory.

It is becoming more and more evident that some members of the Klan are just common clay—we almost said common dirt—and are just as immoral and dishonest as men on the outside of the "invisible empire." We have seen it rise in a brief four years' time to its greatest height. Within two years more there will not be a man of ordinary ability so blind to its worthlessness as to admit he ever supported its views. There is undoubtedly a good deal of bunk about the klan business, both North and South, but the leaders never forget to collect the price of admission. If the purposes of the organization were as innocuous as its leaders pretend, there does not appear to be any sound reason why they should refuse to comply with the New York law. There is something rotten about any organization willing to function under a name so redolent of evil memories. The choice of such a name is ample cause for questioning the purity of its motives.

For exquisite pain and finely drawn cruelty, few situations can hope to equal the commencement exercises of the Horner Institute of Fine Arts, held Friday night at the Athenaeum. Horner Institute, for the first time in its history, was conferring a degree of bachelor of music upon a colored student, Mr. William L. Dawson. Not only was it conferring a degree, but it was according Mr. Dawson the distinguished honor of having one of his compositions played as a number on the commencement program. Perhaps the heads of Horner Institute felt that the performance of these two singular acts was as far as it could afford to go in breaking loose from Missouri precedent and prejudice, so they proceeded to ruin the fineness of these two acts with deliberate, and I believe, unnecessary cruelty. A mere half-dozen of Mr. Dawson's friends who came to see and hear him honored were ushered to what a young white woman described with a forced smile as "a lovely little balcony." And Mr. Dawson? In a few minutes he also joined us, explaining with a dry smile that "this is Missouri" and he had been told as nicely as possible that he would be given his degree the next day. Only the desire to hear Mr. Dawson's composition, "Romance" for a violin, cello and piano kept him and his friends at the exercises. Words cannot adequately describe the compelling beauty and witchery of that "Romance" nor tell how first the violin, then the cello and again the clear, bell-like piano entwined the melody from the brain of this black youth around the hearts of that select audience, holding them fast in its sweet grip until the last soft note. Magic it was, and its spell lifted not until long seconds after the music had ceased. Applause broke and swelled and died and swelled anew. Through it all, the man who had conceived this beauty, who had brought a new, intoxicating bit to the altar of Art, sat in the balcony, his face calm, but drawn a little from excitement, only his eyes morroring his emotions as he followed his brain-child from measure to measure and from instrument to instrument. A violinist from the Kansas City Symphony Orchestra, a cello soloist from the same organization and a graduate pianist from Horner were the musicians and they brought all their skill to bear to produce not only a mechanically perfect thing, but a vibrant, beautiful creation. Although the applause plainly called for the composer (since the program announced the composition) was by William Dawson, a student). Mr. Dawson had no opportunity to appear and bow in acknowledgment of the ovation accorded him. He must needs sit silently in a balcony. Had he been white he would have been down there with the class. . . . The rest of the exercises were, for him and for us, but so much time passed by, for he was not to be permitted to come forward and receive his degree. What mattered then Henry J. Allen's address on character being a determinant of culture? How wack (clever and effective speaker that he is) were his sallies into history, philosophy, art and humor in defense of his thesis that institutions like Horner were building character into American manhood and womanhood. I have forgotten his entire speech, almost, except to remember that it was a mockery that seemingly would never end. The final blow was a blunder more unkind in its awkwardness than any deliberately cruel excuses. Mr. Rosenberg, the director, read the list of honors and prizes. His first words were "Honorable Mention in Theory, William L. Dawson." President Charles F. Horner, however, committed the grand faux pas when after two little girls had come up to carry the dummy certificates and diplomas to the graduates in the audience, he read out: "Bachelor of Music, William L. Dawson," and handed a roll with a white ribbon to the tot. She stood still a minute, wondering where to find Mr. Dawson, Hurried whispers checked her and the paper was laid to one side. Horner Institute has done magnificently in allowing Mr. Dawson to work and earn a degree. Its directors are to be congratulated upon that. It is to be regretted, however, that they did not go just a little way farther, which would have cost them nothing and brought unmitigated joy and pride of achievement to Mr. Dawson instead of half-pleasure. No one who thinks can say that that audience would have objected (The Bulletin-Appeal has arranged with the Undenominational Press Association whereby it will publish each week Saturday Short Sermons prepared by the clergy and also religious editorials from newspapers and other publications. The first of these Saturday Short Sermons is published today, and will be followed indefinitely in succeeding issues by others.) (From the Press, Long Branch, Cal.) The purpose of the Master, as he washed his disciples' feet, was to instill . . . . the primal, paramount necessity for a humble and contrite heart. On the cross He proved His forgiving, lovable nature; and in the tomb he established the supremacy of Spirit over the vile works of men. "If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me." Let him deny his moral status, and assert his spiritual kinship with his Master; let him "put off . . . . the old man," and take on the mantle of righteousness, the new birth of purity. Let him do those things which are required of him in order that he may spiritually progress, hewing away the shackles of sense and sensuality. Let him be unafraid to confess his faith in God, even though such confession may require that he take up his cross daily, and bear the taunts and aspersions of his fellowmen. Such revilings will hurt only to the extent that the object of their attacks give way to human fealities. Spirit will rise above criticism and insult, as it rose from the grave, to declare its mortal victory, and its immunity, at all times, from human limitation or human assault. True leadership lifts its eyes upon high, to the throne of one God, to the source of all that ennobles and to Mr. Dawson receiving his degree publicly. No one who knows the spirit of Americans can maintain successfully that that audience would not have found real pleasure in making its approval of his work known to the composer personally. Who knows how much of the loaf of prejudice it might not have leavened? As the audience rose to sing "America" I saw below me, seated between two white persons, a Filipino, darker than any one of the six of us in the balcony. And the words of the hymn died in my throat while the singing of the others made only a meaningless jumble in my ears. MEMORIAL BAPTIST NOTES Corner Rice and Fuller, Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor. One of the greatest and most profitable conventions ever held in the Twin Cities was held last week at the church, the Iowa, Minnesota and South Dakota B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Convention. The three states were well represented. The auditorium was packed to its utmost capacity Thursday evening when Dr.A. W. Jordan of Louisville, Ky., delivered his wonderful lecture on foreign missions. The oratorical contest was held Saturday afternoon between Iowa and St. Paul. We regret very much to say that Iowa took back the loving cup which was the prize. The pastor left Monday afternoon for Wichita, Kansas, where he attended the B. Y. P. U. and Sunday School Congress. Mr. Samuel Williams of 318 N. Grotto, well known barber of St. Paul has been quite ill at the Ancker Hospital, but is much improved at present. Mrs. Nannie B. Coleman, 944 St. Anthony, and Mrs. L.W. Pleasant and daughter, 1020 Rondo, were victims in a street car wreck Sunday, June 14. Both Mrs. Coleman and Mrs. Pleasant were seriously injured. Mrs. Irene Robinson, 790 Carroll Ave., who has been attending her sick sister in Kansas City, returned Monday morning. ST. JAMES CLARION Rev. Broyles preached a splendid sermon Sunday morning. He took his text from Romans. The Charles Jacobs Mite Missionary Society met with Mrs. Edward Smith, 479 Thomas, Thursday the 25th.

CHURCH St. Paul is in a season of activities mingled with a very spirited campaign for the saving of souls. The Rev. Miss Ethel Smith of Chicago is the prophet in the land. She is stirring the spiritually interested, and crowds, both white and colored. harms no one, but sheds its light, its benefits upon all. . . . In the realm of Spirit there is but one leader, and one leadership. God reigns. Those who would encroach upon God's prerogatives by presuming to dominate or command will be brought low. Those who sincerely seek to obey and honor God will be lifted up. "I and my Father are one," said Christ Jesus. It is this oneness in Spirit, this constant, instant communion with God which gives the sustaining contact, and enables the seeker for truth to overcome temptation, to resist the promptings of self-interest, and consistently go about doing good. Works form the test of religious profession. "What have I done today to make this a better world?" is the question that every earnest laborer in the Lord's vineyard should ask himself. "Have I aided those who are in distress; have I spread the cheer of brotherly love in the dark places of the earth; have I demonstrated by my example the everpresence of God; have I obeyed the Ten Commandments; have I lived in accord with the Sermon on the Mount; have I done no evil and thought no evil; have I contributed of my substance to the cause of religion and charity; have I been actually what I claim to be, or what I know I should be?" are in nightly attendance. Sinners are awakening to the realization of their undone condition and are falling in humble submission to God. Rev. Y. J. Gamble, pastor of Grace C. M. E. Church, feels honored to have the Rev. Smith to conduct such a meeting. Reporter. Y. W. C. A. NOTES The "Spinsters' Convention" was a great success. The "Y" auditorium was crowded. All the old maids were were in their glory, but Ah! what blooming young maids they were after Prof. Makeover changed them. They reminded one of a beautiful flower garden blooming in the sunlight. The musical and dance acts were exceptionally well rendered, Margaret Berry making a typical boy in her act, and being enclosed a second time. When Hansel and Gretchel came forth in their Dutch dance it took us back to dear old Holland and the wind mills, Alice Joyce as Hansel and Rachel James as Gretchel; Miss Hazel Washington directress. Mrs. Eugene Jackson, Jr.'s classic Dancing class was well attended Saturday afternoon. About twelve girls were present to join the class. Mothers, send your little girls to the dancing class every Saturday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. The daily dressmaking class will meet every Wednesday afternoon at 2:30 p. m. free to little girls, Miss Hazel Washington, instructor. CARD OF THANKS I wish to thank Rev. W. H. Griffin, the Daughter Elks, Ladies' Aid Society of Pilgrim Baptist Church, and the many friends who so kindly remembered me with beautiful flowers, fruit and birthday greetings during my recent illness.

R., WM. R. Morris, F. S., 818 Metropolitan Life Bldg. Page 4 "CUPID'S CHURCH" HAS CELEBRATION Many Famous Names Adorn Register of London Edifice. London. — London's fashionable church, St. George's, Hanover Square, celebrated its bicentenary recently with a special series of services. Often called "St. Cupid's church" in the latter part of the last century, St. George's is still popular for fashionable weddings, and second only to St. Margaret's, Westminster. Sixty years ago as much as 1,000 weddings occurred each year at St. George's, but during the last fifty years the average has been about 300. Included among the latter was that of Theodore Roosevelt, who described himself in the register as a "ranchman" when he walked over from Brown's hotel in a bowlet hat to be married to Edith Kernit Carew. The registers are rich in signatures of other prominent men, as well as royalties. The signatures of King Edward and Queen Alexandria, alongside those of the present king and queen, are recorded against the wedding of a member of the Gosford family. The signatures of four prime ministers of England also are there inscribed at the wedding of Henry Asquith, now Lord Oxford, to his present wife. They are Lord Roseberry, William Ewart Gladstone, Henry Asquith and Arthur Balfour, now Lord Balfour. Officials of the church assert that if all the couples who have been married at the famous old edifice during the last forty years had been present at the bicentenary services, the congregation would have numbered about twelve thousand. WINS HEALTH CONTEST L Leah Metzmaker, stenographer for the Bell Telephone company at Chicago, who was winner of the "Healthy-Business-Girl" contest conducted by the W. W. C. A. Many prunes, few dates, is Miss Metzmaker's recipe for health. She is twenty-three years old, five feet four inches tall, and weighs 117 pounds. Her waist measures 24 inches, her chest 84 and her hips 86. Her ankle measures 9 inches and the calf of her leg 14 inches. She never eats candy, cake or plie, and never smokes or drinks. Hen Mothers Kittens Yankton, S. D.-Six small kittens on the farm of A. W. Jones of Cedar county, Nebraska, across the Missouri river from Yankton, are being mothered by a hen. Biddy, large and brown, patiently sits on her strange brood, apparently quite contented, giving way periodically to the mother cat when the latter comes to feed her family. The mother cat also seems satisfied with the arrangement. Save "Elegy" Churchyard London.—The churchyard at Stoke Poges, immortalized in Gray's "Elegy," has been saved by the efforts of a number of Englishmen and Americans from a threat in the form of a group of building speculators who have long been aiming to possess the surrounding meadow land. Wilbur Orders Middies to Become Air Pilots Washington.—Students at the naval academy at Annapolis after this year will be trained as aircraft pilots or observers, as well as ships' officers, Secretary Wilbur has issued an order adding courses in aviation to the academy's curriculum, beginning with the 1926 class. The action follows recommendations of a special board appointed at the request of the President late last year to study the relative values of battleships and aircraft among the various naval weapons. The board began its work soon after inception of the controversy over the superiority of the airplane or the battleship, but some time before Col. William Mitchell, former assistant chief of the army air service, began his fight for a unified air department. Supreme Life To Dedicate New Building in July Columbus, Ohio. — Announcement is made of the Dedication Exercises of the Home Office Building of The Supreme Life and Casualty Company, Columbus, Ohio, July 9, 19 and 11, 1925.

'Lucky Sambo,'Latest Broadway Musical Success,'Blows Up' New York, June 26. — "Lucky Sambo," the latest colored musical comedy to invade Broadway, "blew" up last Saturday night when the actors and musicians walked out because they received no salaries. The news of the failure came as a surprise to the public, as it was thought the show, which had only played one week, was meeting with a fair degree of success. The show was appearing at the Colonial theatre. MAN MARRIES RUNAWAY OKLA, INDIAN HEIRESS Council Bluffs, Ia., June 26.—The mystery of the disappearance of Maude Lee Mudd, 16-year-old Oklahoma Indian girl, heir to an estate valued at $1,200,000 was solved when it was learned that a white automobile salesman from her home city, Earl E. Gordon, 27, had fled with her and wed her in this city. The girl's mother is understood to have given her consent. Minnesota State Federation Holds Twentieth Annual Meet Continued from page 1) vention, whereby each State Federation is to contribute $100 annually, in excess of regular dues, for the Mary B. Talbert Memorial Fund to be used for the perpetual upkeep of the Frederick Douglas Home, thus accomplishing a dual purpose, i. e., that of commemorating the memory of two historic race leaders for posterity. A Scholarship loan fund of $50,000 is to be raised by the National body; each state contributing, pro rata, thereto. The object of this adventure is to make possible scholarships for worthy students by loaning the necessary cost to the student, which is to be returned to the fund by the benefic- The organization of a junior Federation for girls under the supervision of the state body is also a part of the work proposed. The purchase of a permanent building for National headquarters at Washington, D. C., is a part of the program outlined—a paid secretary to be in attendance. An effort to increase the membership by the addition of 50,000 new club women is proposed. The national president advocated team work as a means of accomplishing the results desired. Mr. Fred D. McCracken, regional vice-president of the National Negro Business League, delivered an address in behalf of the League. Mr. McCracken called attention to the needs of employment for young race boys and girls who have graduated from the schools and colleges. He pointed out how the women may be of service in this respect through individual effort. "If each of you women who come into contact with business concerns where you spend your money in trade or otherwise will ask, and keep asking, for the employment of a representative of the race, you will accomplish the desired end. Should the merchant refuse to employ, in some capacity, a member of the race he is not entitled to race trade and you should have race pride enough to withdraw your patronage and give it to the concern that is willing to reciprocate by giving you something in return besides the value of your purchase. Other races make the demand and it has proven a wedge—an open sesame, why should you not do the same," declared the speaker. Mr. McCracken further urged the support of race enterprises and told of the importance of giving them their encouragement and support. He urged their loyal support to the Bulletin-Appeal—the only voice of public expression and champion of the rights of the race in the state of Minnesota. Mr. McCracken said THE NORTHWESTERN-BULLETIN APPEAL Announces that he is now located in his new offices at 18½ East Sixth Street (Near Wabasha Street) Specializing in the treatment of pyorrhea and other diseases of the me Children will be given special attention 18½ East Sixth Street (Near Wabasha Street) Specializing in the treatment of arterhea and other diseases of the men Children will be given special attention Save your Car Wash and Polished at Hall's Auto Laundry and Parking Station Hours washed and polished washed and polished Parking 25c a Hour Safety First"—Park your car while do your shopping.

The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Jennie Young, St. Paul, president; Marie T.
