THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN URBAN LEAGUE NOW TAKING FORM Marshall Appointment Causes Great Stir VOLUME II, NO. 23 URBA Marsh DUNN SAYS THAT MARSHALL ISTOO BRAINY FOR JOB Commissioner Russell Suspected As Having Double-crossed Colored America. COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO STUDY HAITI Suggested That Three Be Named to Investigate Conditions on Island. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 29. -The question of the removal of Captain Napoleon B. Marshall from his present position at the American Legation in Port au Prince has been laid before Under Secretary of State Phillips by Charge d' Affairs James C. Dunn. The Associated Negro Press can state on most reliable authority that there will be nothing done on the matter until after the most thorough investigation. James C. Dunn is a native of Newark, N. J., and came into the diplomatic service under the Wilson administration. He has seen service in Havana, Cuba, and other sections of the West Indies, and has been in Port au Prince for a little over three years, first as secretary of the legation, and at present Charge de' Affairs. While it is understood that Dunn's chief complaint is that "Marshall is too able a man to be a mere clerk," and that it is desired that just an ordinary person, presumably white, should succeed Marshall, friends of Marshall in the United States wish to find out WHY MARSHALL WAS THUS ASSIGNED IN THE FIRST PLACE AFTER HE HAD BEEN LEAD TO BELIEVE HIS POSITION WOULD BE ONE OF AUTHORITY. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MIX-UP, AND WHY? WILL IT BE ADJUSTED, AND HOW? Senator McCormick Authority. So far as the whole Haitian situation is concerned, Senator McCormick of Illinois has been the one authority to whom the people have listened, and to whom they have turned for first-hand information. The senator has always suggested a pretentious program for the island republic. Is the program, so far as Colored America is concerned, to fall flat? Technically, Marshall's position is under the State Department, but the State Department would naturally give respectful consideration to suggestions from the chairman of the senatorial committee having to do with the affairs of Haiti. Delegation to Haiti. One of the subjects popularly discussed a few months ago was the sending to Haiti, through the State Department, a delegation, committee, commission or something of that sort, to study conditions and recommend a program of co-operative action. There was, in the first place, a hitch over what such a group should be called. It was decided that it would, or could, not not be called a "Commission," as that would require congressional action. "But a rose by any other name would smell as sweet " and so the name feature was overlooked. There has been a tentative agreement, in which it is understood that President Harding and the State Department were agreed, together with Senator McCormick, that the committee would be composed of three: Robert R. Church of Memphis, representing business interests; Dr. R. R. Moton, of Tuskegee Institute, representing agricultural information, and Dr. U. G. Dailey of Chicago, who should look into the promotion of hospitals. Dr. Moton could not accept because of a tour to Europe, and Prof. Williams of Tuskegee Institute was substituted.

"THE LAST LOAF" A two-act Drama, to be given at the Church Club, corner of Dale and Portland Ave. One of the most beautiful halls in the city, with a seating capacity of 500. Plenty of ventilation. Plenty of cold refreshments. Given by Come Temple No. 128 Marching Club, Tuesday, July 10th. Admission 35 cents. Balcony 25 cents. Don't fail to hear two of the leading characters in "The Last Loaf," in the person of Mr. A. J. Todd as Mark Ashton and Mr. Sie Bockenstole as Coleb Hanson. If you fail to hear Louis White as Harry Hanson in "The Last Loaf" you will miss a treat. See how strong his love is for Lilly Ashton and how he goes to China for five years and comes home and claims her as his wife. The play would be unpopular if we fall to tell you of the leading character, Kate Ashton (Mark's wife) in the person of Mrs. Carrie Allep. Hear her conversation and see how strong her love blends her husband and daughter. See how a wife's love can battle for the husband a mother's love for the child. If you want a good, hearty laugh, come and hear Mr. L. C. Jackson, the stuttering butcher, who tries to express his love to Patty Jones. An interesting character is Mr. Huey McCarty, the high-toned Dick Bustle, a person who lets off his big words all the time and muddles things dreadfully. Hear him! See the beautiful daughter of Ashtons in the person of Miss Aquila Fields, about whom the family, rich and respected, are brought to their last loaf.

FAIL TO HELP IN DRIVE Neither St. Paul or Minneapolis Branches Show Interest in Project. EXPECTED RESPONSE FAILS TO COME James Weldon Johnson Writes Letter of Thanks From General Office. We now enter on our fourth and final week of our campaign to help the St. Paul and Minneapolis branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. We are greatly surprised at not having received any official word from either the Twin Cities branches. In our effort to help the N. A. A. C. P. we forgot every personal desire and centered our efforts toward increasing the membership in each of the two local branches. From a standpoint of dollars and cents it was a loss to us in going one-half of each new subscription for a membership in the N. A. A. C. P. We did not consider this loss in our endeavor to help the greatest organization in America finance the Dyer Bill to victory in the next Congress. But we did expect full co-operation from both the St. Paul and Minneapolis branches since our campaign was solely for their benefit. Neither Branch Responds. Neither Braun Responds. To our serious regret, neither of the local branches have considered our efforts of sufficient importance to offer their assistance or ever displayed the courtesy of writing their approval to the project. We are forced to believe that neither the St. Paul or Minneapolis branches are interested in increasing their membership. Possibly it was the medium used in sponsoring the cause or maybe no one is interested in reading the Bulletin. Whatever the reason we cannot consider it of more vital importance than the national body to do this. This fund must come to the local branches. We do not know on what department of either the two local branches to fix responsibility, whether it was the Heads of the branches or some department. However, we do believe when a project is launched to assist any body those whom it serves best should at least support it, but neither the St. Paul or Minneapolis branches, thus far, have offered their assistance. Our Letter of Thanks. The general office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People expressed their appreciation for our efforts in the following letter: 70 Fifth Avenue, New York, June 20, 1923. Dear Sir: The unprecedented generous gift to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of one-half of every new subscription to your newspaper is deeply appreciated here and will, I am sure, arouse enthusiasm among our branches. We intend to announce this action of the NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN to the entire colored press of the country. Meanwhile, please accept the heartiest thanks of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in behalf of its membership to whose cause you have shown yourself to be sincerely devoted. Yours very truly, JAMES WELDEN JOHNSON, 10 Every Enthusiastic Race Person Should Vote for Dyer Bill At no time in the history of the Negro of Minnesota has there been a bigger proposition for his welfare than in the selection of a good man for United States Senator. At no time has there been a bigger, more broad-minded or better friend to the race, as a candidate, than Governor J. A. O. Preus, who is the Republican choice for senator. A true Minnesota in spirit and champion of unmitigated justice to kill, he is the one man that the race voter of the state should vote for. Governor Preus has opposed every effort of Southern discrimination to become established in our midst. He has without limitation expressed himself strongly in favor of the Dyer Bill—the biggest piece of legislation to us at this time. In view of the situation facing us as a people and the fact that the Dyer Bill will be again presented in the December session of Congress, it is of the most importance for us to support a candidate who will vote for that measure. In Mr. Preus we have a man that will not only vote for the Dyer Bill, but work to influence other senators to support the issue. The thinking faculties of our people must now be used soberly. Do not be swayed to become mercenary, by false promises. Many will promise their support to the Dyer Bill only to secure a vote and when the bill comes to the final vote they will be found flibustering with some of Senator Underwood's associates. It is up to us to help fight the bill through. We can do it by sending Mary MRS. MATTIE HICKS Mrs. Mattle Hicks, Past Worthy Matron of Queen Sheba Chapter, O. E. E. No. 24, St. Paul, was the only local woman to be elected during the Electa Grand Chapter, O. E. S. As Associate Grand Conductress, she will be thoroughly capable of filling this position. Mrs. Hicks resides at 953 Rondo street, St. Paul. Think Soberly. A. O. PREUS s and Help orthwhile Man enough men of J. A. O. Preus' type to Washington as senators and representatives. If ever we were given an opportunity to support a good candidate, one who will fight for us, refuse to compromise with wrong and foster the principles of true Americanism in contrast to Klanism, it is in the selection of Governor Preus for senator. Capable and fearless, he is the logical candidate for election. Preus Record. The record of Governor Preus will pass the most rigid inspection. From every approachable angle he has been tried for his worth. He refused to extradite one of our men back to Slavish Oklahoma, signed the Antilynching Bill of Minnesota in 1921, signed the Anti-Mask Bill as introduced by Miss Myrtle Cain and in every respect has fully demonstrated his worth. He is the man to be elected. Show your racial pride and worth and support Governor Preus in his fight for election. We not only send a good man to Congress, but one who has the welfare of the race at heart. Help pass the Dyer Bill by giving your vote to J. A. O. Preus for senator. Nat Hol Our National Holiday On July 4, 1776, just 147 years ago, a group of men met together in the city of Philadelphia to sign a document, the preparation of which had meant days of ceaseless energy and effort. As the hour drew near for each man to place his signature on this most valuable document of history, each realized that his very life, honor, right and prosperity were at stake. Each one knew that in the years to come their sons and grandsons would march forth to battle and even death in order to have this document take a firm hold in American history. They knew as they signed that possibly long years of war and desolation would sweep over the land of their birth and even in the end the results would be defeat, death and dishonor; strong, powerful and fearless, they wrote their signatures without a bit of hesitation. At this moment the greatest document of human history was born, the Declaration of Independence. Out of the wilderness was born a New World and a New Nation. Freedom then cast her rays of light and illuminated the entire --- INDEPENDENCE DAY ArchMasons Convocation InSaintPaul Hawkeye Knights Templar Entertained in Splendor by Local Bodies. For the first time in forty years, Hawkeye Grand Chapter, R. A. M., and Hawkeye, Grand Commandary, Knights Templar, were the guests of Bethel Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, and Pilgrim Commandary, Knights Templar, at Pioneer hall, 588 Rondo street. These bodies are composed of some of the most distinguished Masons in the United States and Canada. Among those present were John F. Coquire and William H. Stevens, both of whom have maintained membership extending over a period of forty years. The sessions began Wednesday and lasted until Friday, many of the delegates remaining in the city visiting relatives and friends. Much credit is due the committee who attended to every detail, making the convention a grand success. A complete report and the names of the newly elected officers follows: Many Notables Here. The first annual convocation of Hawkeye Grand Chapter, Royal Arch Masons, Iowa and Jurisdiction, was opened in full ritualistic form Wednesday, June 20, at Pioneer Lodge hall. Most Excellent Grand High Priest John L. Thompson, Des Moines, Iowa, presided. Every chapter subordinate to this Grand Chapter were represented and each of them were reported as fully paid up. This is indeed an enviable record. The sessions covered two days and much business of deep importance to the Rite was transacted. Hawkeye Grand Chapter is among the most recent additions to the list of governing bodies of Prince Hall Masons, being only about seven months old. It is not yet very strong numerically, although the prospects for such strength are exceptionally (Continued on Page 4) Our ional iday world, free from the fetters of bondage. After seven years of wars when the blood of youth and the aged mingled together on the battlefields, the Treaty of Peace was signed with Great Britain and the Declaration of Independence was a reality. Six years later the Constitution was ratified and the United States was born and has developed into the greatest democratic empire on which the sun never sets. From the Declaration of Independence is the following extract: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute, new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its (Continued on Page 4) MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY FORM ST. PAUL BRANCH TO BEGIN AFTER SPECIAL MEETING T. Arnold Hill Completes Survey of Work and Outlines Plan of Schedule. NO CLOSED SHOP TACTICS ACCEPTED Race to Share Equally With All Other Labor Organizations, Is Predicted. That the effort of T. Arnold Hill, Western Field Organizer of the National Urban League, have met with success, is evidenced by the announcement of the promoters that a meeting to organize the St. Paul Branch will be held Monday night, July 2, at Little Pilgrim Baptist church at 8 o'clock. At this meeting all who are interested in the welfare of the race are invited to be present. The Bulletin has been informed that there will be no secrets or "closed shop" tactics. On the program will be a report from Mr. Hill, who will tell of his progress in collecting the pledges from those of our group who subscribed at the last meeting; the success he has had with subscriptions from white friends; his conference with representatives of the St. Paul Association, and the details incident to the securing of a paid secretary and other matters pertaining to the opening of an office. Plenty of Work Seen. In discussing the future of the league, Mr. Hill said to a Bulletin reporter, "There will be plenty of work for the St. Paul Urban league if all reports of the exodus from the South are true. Colored people are leaving the South by the thousands each week. They are spreading out. No longer are they confining themselves to the large cities. St. Paul will get its share and it will be the Urban league that will receive them, find houses and employment for them, direct them to churches and refer them to wholesome places of amusement. It will be the business man, the profession man, the church and the lodge that will profit by their coming; for they have been trained to do business with their own race in the South; they know nothing else." Need Live Secretary. With reference to other features of the work, Mr. Hill said: "There await big tasks for a live, wide-awake, intelligent secretary; the only kind St. Paul ought to have and the only kind it will have, if my recommendation is allowed to prevail. Our boys and girls must have more and better work. Employers' must be trained to accept competent colored workers as well as white workers. Various kinds of organized labor must be taught to work with our men and the public eye must be trained to seeing colored men work along the side of white men." Tuskegee Case to be Revised Race Staff Seen Director of Veterans' Bureau Writes to Harding About Hospital Staff. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., June 29.—The "powers that be" have spoken. The United States Veteran Hospital at Tuskegee is not only to be manned by colored physicians and nurses, but so valiantly have the professionals of the race responded to the call that General Frank T. Hines, director of the Veterans' Bureau, has written President Warren G. Harding officially that "we have been able to obtain practically sufficient colored personnel to man Tuskegee."

Member of the ASSOCIATED NEGRO PRESS “First in Service” THE STARKS CASE Apparently all that the pe wish is that Starks & Son place their Barber Shop on the line established by the residences in that block,’ at least so they allege. The plaintiff contends if this is not done, it will result in Starks breaking the law to the irreparable damage to the plaintiff. But we haven’t forgotten the trip the plaintiff made to the shop of the defendant and the peti- tion which he carried with him, setting forth in very decisive language that people of color were not wanted in that neighbor- hood and would not be tolerated. It so happens that Mr. Starks and Son have the support and co-operation of the best citizens of that district, who have come in contact with them, and the new shop meets with their approval. This situation brings to light the necessity for co-operation among our men that are in business, and co-operation can best be obtained through the medium of the Business League. Upon numerous occasions the president of the league has urged that all of us who are engaged in business join and take an a¢tive part in this organization, thus making it the hub around which to revolve the business of the community, but it is obvious from the Jast meeting that many of his entreaties have been in vain. The situation which has arisen over the proposed construction of the Starks Barber Shop is only one of numerous instances which may arise that need the support of a well organized association of men who are actively engaged in serving the public. We wish to remind our readers of the fact that it was the sole efforts of the president and the members of the Business League which made it possible for the phe of the Urban League to make his initial appearance before a picked group of representatives from various clubs, and had certain individuals been more concerned with engaging the support of the masses of our people and our club women, instead of trying to corner the control of this organization, maybe there would have been more pledged and maybe more of the money pledged would be forth- coming. The Business League has tried to establish a closer contact between the men in public life, club women and the rank and file of the thinking people of St. Paul who are interested in the wel- fare of the community, but there are a group of individuals who have insisted on trying to control the league; failing in this they have adopted the slogan of “rule or ruin.” Had the idea fostered by the Business League of letting the support of the Urban League come from the club women and the rank and file of the public, we believe the movement would have been considerably more successful as far as our part is concerned. But the powers that be, decreed otherwise. Well, we merely say five dollars from five hundred would be better, to our way of thinking, than a doubt- ful twenty-five from five or six. IT’S UP TO YOU The month of June, just passing into eternity, witnessed many graduates from the various colleges and universities. The young men and women have completed the established cirriculum of their respective schools. With keen intellect, high anticipations and a grim determination to wrest from the world their share of its wealth they begin a new life. A life of success for some, of medi- ocrity for others. After the excitement of commencement day has abated, employment is sought in the specific vocation for which they are prepared. Possibly, with diploma in hand, they attempt to gain the objective for which they spent years Jn. preparation, only to hear the time-worn response, “we don’t hire colored people here,” or “the only thing open is for a janitor.” Attempt after attempt for employment and receiving the same answer will event- ually break through the commencement day enthusiasm. And many of these brilliant young people, through necessity, will finally resort to the broom and dust pan method of earning a livelihood. This is a lamentable, yet true, condition. What is the reason? It is because too long have parents invested many dollars in their children’s education without investing in enterprise that could em- ploy them when the diplama has been issued. We have viewed with scepticism every effort launched by our race for commercial purposes. We have refused to invest in sound corporations of our own lest we “loose our savings.” But thousands of our dollars have gone into white companies, who refuse to employ our people, regardless of qualifications; and if given employment, it is in the ‘smallest capacity. A large measure of this unfortunate condition may be traced to ourselves. When we have visualized the import- ance of investing in our own enterprises instead of the other fel- fow's; when we have placed a dollar in stocks or bonds of a race corporation along with the dollar spent for our children’s educa- tion; when we group our efforts and learn to trustour own banks, stores and various other commercial factors, then the problem of employment of our graduates will begin to be solved. Then will our young men reach the pinnacle of their ambition instead of serving the guests in the dining room and making vs berths for the Pullman company. Then will our young women find pleasant conditions at attractive compensations instead of being forced to domestic service and elevator operators. Then will degenerate whites, who consider a Negro woman virtueless, find less prey to appease their lust, when better conditions are offered our girl by men of their own race. We have long tried to consider ourselves dutiful when the children are given good educations to meet the vicissitudes of life. The also important issue has been neglected. Unless race business enterprises are maintained to employ the ac- complished ones of our college and university graduates, they will still be forced to resort to the too much accepted means of sup- port. They cannot be too severely censured for not having achiev- ed the success for which they are capable. Every one must live and if dignified positions are not forthcoming, lesser ones must be accepted. The great fault is their being prepared for great ines without great things being prepared for them to secure the fruit of their long labor.

We appreciate the support and patronage which has al- ready been given us and it is our in- tention to constantly improve the BULLETIN until no home of the race in the Twin Cities and the Northwest will feel complete unless the BULLE- TIN is a weekly visitor. In line with this policy we have secured the serv- ice of Mr. George W. Holbert, who will contribute an artiele weekly on events of interest to the race, both nationally and locally. Mr. Holbert needs no introduction to the readers of the BULLETIN. He is a race man of the most pronounced type, always active in any movement that stands for the advancement or improvement of the race. He is a logical and con- vineing public speaker and 9 strong and virile writer. We feel that the readers of the BULLETIN have a rare treat in store for them and we congratulate ourselves on this acqui- sition to our staff. The first of Mr. Holbert’s articles will appear in next week's issue of the BULLETIN.

Bill in IllinoisIs Signed by Small} (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Iil., June 29.—Governor Len Small signed the bill passed by the state legislature appropriating $15,000 for a monument to colored soldiers killed in the World War, laat Friday afternoon. The governor said it was the only bill for monument he had signed this session. The memorable occasion took place in the Eighth regiment armory, with a num- ber of prominent colored citizens present. A plan was discussed where- by colored citizens would augment the amount given by the state so that the monument may be one of the most striking on the boulevard. It Is to be located at 35th and Grand Boulevard, in the heart of the col- ored district. Among those present were Edward H. Wright, Second ward committeeman, who acted as master of ceremonies; Col.

"They think it is strange that we know that we're safe here, too," said the Big Horn Sheep, or Rocky Mountain Sheep. "They have said so." "They think it is quite queer that we know we're safe," said the Deer family. "They also think it is peculiar that we know we're safe," said the Bears. "And they think it is strange that we know it, too," said the Elk. "Of course," said the Rocky Mountain Goat, "they don't all think so." "No, of course not," said the Rocky Mountain Sheep. "Some know a great deal and have a great deal of sense." "True," said the Deer family. "Some have an enormous amount of sense," said the Bears. "You don't have to explain to some creatures," said the Elk. "Some know things without having them explained." "Of course," said the Rocky Mountain Goat, "when I said that they think it is strange that we know we're safe here, I meant people. "I didn't mean all people. I meant some people." "Just what I meant," said the Rocky Mountain Sheep. "The same as I meant, too," said the Deer family. "And what I meant also," said the Bears. "Just what I meant, too," said the Eik. "Yes," continued the Rocky Mountain Goat, "we live here in this great North Western Park. We are protected. No one can hurt us. We are safe as safe can be. There is a great big fine if anyone should shoot at us. That means that whoever would do such a thing would have to pay an enormous sum of money. "So we are safe, quite safe. We can wander about and have such a good time. We like salt—oh, yes, that's something we like. And we like to climb. We are great climbers. Oh, mountains and hills and rocks mean nothing to us. "That is—they mean something to us, for we enjoy them. But they do not "We Are Great Climbers." bother us in that we cannot climb them. Oh, no, we're able to climb almost anywhere. Perhaps I could safely say we can climb anywhere. We aren't poor climbers. That's certain!" Mountain Sheep. "it's true of us, too." True of you, too," said the Rocky Mountain Goat. One was doing the talking for all of them. "True of you, too," agreed the Elk. "True of you, too," said the Boars. "True of you, too," said the Deer family. "Well," said the Rocky Mountain Goat, "as I said in the first place, some people think it is strange that we know we're safe. They seem to think that is rather astonishing. But it isn't astonishing. Of course, we know we're safe. We can understand that. Can't people understand when they're with real friends without those friends saying anything? Of course, animals, as well as people, know when they're safe. Of course they do." "Certainly they do," said the Rocky Mountain Sheep. "Assuredly they do," said the Deer family. "We heard that fine word—it means the same as certainly, but it's a fine word, isn't it." "A fine word," agreed all the others. "Ah, yes," the Rocky Mountain Goat went on, "it is so wonderful to be free from fear. There is nothing more wonderful for an animal than to know it need not be afraid. We are fine-looking animals, with our long, white heads and smart horns. And we have bright faces, too. Ah, no one need think it is strange that we know when we're safe. Animals understand far, far more than many believe they do." They Understood. A school inspector put a few questions to a class of boys on the common objects in the schoolroom. "What is the use of that map?" he asked, pointing to one stretched across the corner of the room. And half-a-dozen shrill volces answered, in chorus: "Please, sir, it's to hide teacher's bicycle!" Way Neighbors Show Off. "Vernon," said the teacher of the juvenile class, "define 'orientation.'" "It's the way our neighbors show off," answered Vernon. YOUR HAND How to Read Your Characteristics and Tendencies—the Capabilities or Weaknesses That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm UNSOUNDNESS OF MIND SHOWN IN THE HAND ACCORDING to some authorities, unsoundness of mind (insanity) is shown by the sign of the moon, a crescent, on the mount of the moon, which lies on the outside of the hand toward the wrist. If the same sign is seen on the upper mount of Mars, violent insanity is to be dreaded. Other signs of weakness of mind in varying degrees are as follows: The line of life tasseled at the end, one tassel going to the mount of the moon. The line of the head wavy and rising in a curve toward the line of the heart under the mount of the sun or Mercury. The line of the head stopping abruptly toward the mount of the moon, with a star on the first finger. The line of the head broken under the mount of Saturn, and sloping toward a very prominent mount of the moon. Broken or curved lines on a sloping line of the head. If there is danger of religious insanity, it is indicated, according to some authorities, by the line of the head forming a large cross with the line of health on the mount of the moon. TANOVERA "What's in a Name?" BY MILDRED MARSHALL Facts about your name; its history; meaning; epithets it uses derived; significance; your lucky day and lucky jewel EVANGELINE THE very essence of poetry is captured and held imprisoned in the name Evangeline. The legend of that beautiful and unhappy malden whose fateful wanderings were immortalized by Longfellow surrounds the name with romance and charm beyond all other feminine names. Evangeline is derived from the Greek and signifies angel-like. It also has the translation "happy messenger," since it comes from the Greek word meaning well, happy, combined with another word meaning moving; the whole forming Evangelus, bearer of good tidings. The term applied originally to a shepherd who brought to Ephesus the tidings of a quarry of beautiful marble for the building of the temple that was the glory of the city and of Asia. Adorned with heroic honors as he was, the title must have seemed to the Ephesian Christians to fit those spiritual shepherds who brought the best of tidings and Evangelista became the term for preachers. Evangelista was an old Italian name and Longfellow seemed to have borrowed it and invented his Evangeline purely for use in his poem. It is from his adoption that all the American Evangelines are derived, so it may perhaps be called the purest American feminine name which we have. Certainly Longfellow has described an ideal American girl: "Fair was she to behold, that maiden of seventeen summers. the reapers at noon-tide, Flossenburg, Ah, fair in south, the maiden When she had passed it seemed like the ceasing of exquisite music." Evangeline's talismanic gem is the ruby, that warm pulsing stone which is said to be an elixir of great potency for the wearer. Its medicinal qualities were held in great esteem by the ancients and from it the potion known as "ruby elixir" is said to have arisen. To dream of a ruby signifies unexpected guests. The illy, denoting purity, is Evangeline's flower. Tuesday is her lucky day and three her talismanic number. (@ by the Wheeler Syndicate, Inc.) Reasonable.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN How Much Do You KNOW By Robert P. Edwards (For A. N. P.) (4) Who was the "Son of Laugh- ter?" "Son of Laughter" Bert Williams was born in the British West Indies in 1876. As a boy, working at odd jobs about theaters, his jovial disposition soon won him recognition and he finally found himself in vaudeville as a singing comedian. He rapidly arose to fame as a peerless comedian, and appeared by Royal Command before many of the crowned heads of Europe. His performances in "The Sons of Ham," "Dahomey," "Abyssinia," and "Bandanna Land," are well remembered by this generation. He made people laugh, and it has been said that he laughed his way into the hearts of men—yea into the hearts of great men. As he carried the interests of his race into those hearts with him, he is to be numbered among the illustrious Negroes, for the bread that he cast upon the waters has been, is being and will be seen and gathered after many days. Bert collapsed during his act on a Detroit stage, rallied for a week and passed out March 5, 1922, in New York. (5) Did a Negro ever preside over The House of Assembly of any State? During the session of The House of Assembly of the State of New Jersey, on March 30, 1920. Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange, Assemblyman of Essex County, was called to the chair by Speaker Hobart. After half an hour of deliberation on bills, Assemblyman Coon presented a resolution which recited the fact of a Negro's presiding over a House of Assembly for the first time in any state, and the first time in Jersey. The resolution, which was unanimously passed, expressed profound respect for the ability of Dr. Alexander. In 1923 a similar honor was conferred upon Assemblyman Frederick Roberts of Los Angeles, Cal. (8) Was Carthage betrayed? After breaking the power of Carthage, at Zama, the kingdom of Numidia, an erstwhile ally of Carthage, was given to Massinissa, who became a tool of Rome and tricked the Carthagienians into surrendering their arms. When the dreadful truth was realized the heroic Carthagenians, without weapons, engines or ships, shut their gate and kept the Romans out for more than two years. Finally Scipio fought his way to the citadel street by street and by command of the Roman senate, leveled its last building to the earth and sent the surviving inhabitants to Rome to be sold as slaves. (7) What is the 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S. A.? The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the U. S. A. was submitted in February, 1865, and proclaimed November, 1865, reads as follows: "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime, whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." 2. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation. Next Week's Whatnots. (8) Who was Samuel Coleridge-Taylor? (9) What are the Seven Wonders of the World? (10) Who seized the Confederate Dispatch boat, "Planter," in 1862? (11) What is the first clause of the 14th Amendment of the Constitution of the U. S. A.? BUSINESS MEN'S LEAGUE Seattle, Wash., June 29.—Thursday night the Elks' Home was the scene of the first banquet of the newly organized Business Men's League of Seattle.

The Committee Reserves the Right to Refuse Any Undesirable Person ( @ by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. ) Between the families of Vaughan and Capron a feud existed. It had originated from a dispute over a boundary line fence and a strayed cow a hundred years or so before and had been carefully treasured as a family inheritance by the descendants of the original disputants. Both families were wealthy and prominent in the community, and the acres which surrounded their ancestral manions were contiguous. When John Capron, the last of the name, died, his widow, who had, of course, taken over the Capron feud when she took the Capron name, was strict in her injunctions to her ten-year-old daughter, Louise, that she should never have anything to do with the twelve-year-old boy next door, Clinton Vaughan, son and heir of Judge Marshall Vaughan, and threatened to discharge any servant who connived at even a speaking acquaintance between the children. Nevertheless, in spite of this prohibition, or, perhaps, because of it, the two children took occasional chances of being together, stealing away into the woods, where they met in a secluded glen to play at being Indians and "daring" each other with regard to climbing trees. They had some tumultuous childish quarrels, too, as was fitting for a Capron and a Vaughan, on which occasions Clinton would say, "Your great-grandfather stole my great-grandfather's cow." Louise would retort, "Your great-grandfather stole my great-grandfather's woodlot. So there!" They may have missed a generation or two, but the statements were substantially correct as the feudists understood the case. When missed and reclaimed from these secret meetings the children were invariably punished and sent to bed without supper by indignant parents, which procedure only served to set Clinton and Louise plotting and planning for another meeting. When Louise was twelve the Widow Capron closed the old house and departed with her daughter for wider fields than were afforded by the staid New England community. Years passed, and then one day the old Capron mansion was opened again and the aged widow and her daughter returned to the long-deserted place. It was rumored that Mrs. Capron had dissipated the considerable fortune her husband had left her in extravagant living and European travel; that the old house and its attached acres were all that was left, and that only because it had been left to Louise in trust, to become hers at her twenty-fifth birthday or upon her marriage. Meantime old Judge Vaughan had died a widower and his son Clinton, a rising young lawyer, reigned in his stead. Several times there had been rumors of Louise's marriage, once to a great foreign nobleman, but she returned to her childhood home still single and a most charming and beautiful young lady. Clinton Vaughan, also, was still unmarried. Neighbors whispered that it would be romantic if the heirs of the Caprons and the heir of the Vaughans should wed and end the ancient feud. But there was grim old Mrs. Capron, standing like a rock, firm upon the base of family traditions; and by the terms of her husband's will if Louise married without her mother's consent the property passed to distant relatives. Soon after the return of the Caprons Louise and Clinton met in the street of the little village. It was Louise who broke the ice by advancing with outstretched hand and saying, "I believe you are Clinton Vaughan. Had you not been pointed out to me I doubt if I should have known you, so many years have passed since we met. And I am Louise Capron. Do you remember how we used to steal away to play Indian?" "And climb trees?" replied Clinton. "Remember? I should say I did." "And the stolen cow?" said Louise. "And the purplined woodlot?" replied Clinton. And they laughed and chatted, just as if there were no such thing as a family feud. "I would ask you to call and talk over old times," said Louise as they parted. "Only—isn't it too absurd? Mother is still sitting up nights with that fatal cow and that calamitous woodlot." They met rather frequently after that and even went horseback riding together once or twice. "I suppose we ought to be sent to bed without our supper tonight, as we used to be," laughed Louise upon their return from the first of these equestrian expeditions. Old Mrs. Capron knew of these meetings—there were servants and neighbors to tell her—but she held her peace—at which Louise, who realized that her mother must know, was puzzled. Then, one day, the old lady suddenly said, "Louise, tell that Vaughan fellow to call—I want to talk to him." Had the two big chimneys of the old house tumbled down together, Louise could not have been more astonished. But she only said, "Yes, mother," and conveyed the summons to Clinton. He and Louise held consultation. What was in the wind? Did the old lady want to quarrel or make up? The fact was that Mrs. Capron did want to quarrel—she loved a quarrel. But dearly as she loved a quarrel, she loved her own ease and comfort better, and she was about at the end of her financial resources. Without than- clal resources, she rightly considered, ease and comfort—and by comfort she meant luxuries—were unattainable. Therefore when Clinton had been brought before her, and Louise, at her mother's command, had left the room, the old lady said: "My late husband little thought that a Vaughan would ever stand as a guest under this roof. I wonder it does not tumble about my sinful head for bringing this meeting about. But age and misfortune have conquered me. Young man, are you in love with my daughter?" Clinton eagerly assented. "Can you support her—and me—in a suitable manner?" The young man clearly proved that he could. "Well, then, win her if you can," said she. "Leave me here in this house and take your bride to your own—and let me see as much of Louise and as little of you as possible." Louise and Clinton were married three months later. Mrs. Capron lived in luxurious comfort for the rest of her days and was never tired of telling of the great sacrifice she had made in allowing her daughter to marry a Vaughan. SAILED OCEAN FOR CENTURY Whaling Vessel Had Long Life Before She Met Her Fate Amid the Ice of the Arctic. The firm of J. and W. R. Wing of New Bedford has gone out of business. The announcement means little to the present generation, but when the whaling industry was at its height the flag of the house of Wing, a letter "W" on a field of white and a red ball on a field of blue, was known on the seven seas. Twenty-five ships sailed under the Wing flag. Most of them met a tragic end, says London Tit-Bits. The John Dawson, after making a dozen voyages to the whaling grounds, was lost in a storm off Panama. The bark Kathleen was in service from 1857 to 1902, when she was rammed by a whale and went down off the South American coast. Several other vessels were crushed in the Arctic ice. The bark Triton, a veteran of exciting experiences before the Wings bought her, was in the whaling business for a hundred years before the Arctic ice finally caught her. In 1846 she was attacked by natives of a South sea island at which she had touched. The crew rallied to the defense with whaling guns, harpoons and lances, but five of their number were killed and seven wounded before two Nantucket ships came up and rescued them. During the Civil war there was both perilous and profitable work for the whalers. Confederate cruisers, particularly the Shenandoah and the Alabama, were raiding northern shipping. The Wings were advised to put their ships under the British flag. "Till send my ships under the Stars and Stripes if every one is lost," declared William Wing. He did, and only one of them was captured. The Shenandoah overtook the ship Brunswick in the Arctic in 1865 and burned her. Oil brought home by the 14 Wing vessels then in the trade gave the firm a profit of $300,000 in the Civil war period. Wren's Peculiar Nesting Place. One morning the milkman informed me that the milk can contained quite a number of small twigs, says S. W. Dyda, writing in St. Nicholas. Assuming that a neighbor boy had been having a bit of a lark at our expense, I washed out the can and put it back in its place. Next morning, however, the trick was repeated. So I decided to post myself where I could watch what went on. To my astonishment, I saw a mother wren hop up briskly with a twig in her mouth and perch on the brim of the can. She was evidently taken aback to find that the can was quite empty, notwithstanding her labors of the day before, and proceeded to examine the vessel carefully outside and in. Though she did not find a clue to the mystery, she resolved to try again, and her persistence was rewarded. She undertook to carry twigs one by one and drop them in the can until she had finally filled it to the top. Then she burrowed her way to the bottom, built her nest, and succeeded during the season, in raising her little family. React to Pola of Elders In his mental habits a child will reflect the poise or instability of his parents and elders in the household; he reacts to the atmosphere in which he lives, and lack of harmony between parents tells quickly on their children, says a writer in the Chicago Daily News. A very small child may suddenly change from a happy, smiling one to a petulant, irritable one when brought into a room where his parents were sulking ever a disagreement. The mental growth and health of children has an important bearing on their physical development and parents should strive to give them this care and guidance. They should avoid contaminating the child with bad mental habits just as they would protect him from contagious disease. Children and Poetry It is the music of words, the sheer poetry of lyrics, that pleases a child above everything and when, beides this, his imagination is fired by grasping the sense of the words, he is, in truth, enjoying poetry and building for himself a secret world of solace and delight that only poetry can give, and nothing else can equal. And it is because of this solace and delight that we must encourage in children a love of poetry.—"Kol," in the Saturday Review. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Confusion Detracts From Good Results and Worker Will Tire More Quickly. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Without realizing it one may be tired by disorderly and confused surroundings, whether at work or not, and for the same reason one may get through a relatively hard task without undue fatigue if it is performed under pleasant, orderly conditions. While the unwashed dishes, the food standing about, the man's overcoat inappropriately hung in the kitchen, and the torn ironing board cover may not actually interfere with rapid work, the general atmosphere of confusion detracts from good results and the worker is undoubtedly more tired at the end of the time she has spent ironing than the one in the picture. Time is often lost making room among a collection of untidy articles, and as there is neither a hamper for a pile of dampened clothes nor a clotheshose for those that have been ironed, the housewife will have to stop occasionally and move these garments to make room for others. It is important to have the ironing board steady and placed at the right height. A clean, well-padded ironing board or table set at the comfortable working height from the floor requires the expenditure of less energy for ironing. If it is possible to sit down to most of this task, the back will not be so tired as if one stands continually. The ironing board cover should be fitted snugly on the board without wrinkles and not allowed to sag. Standing with one's back to the light is another bad feature. Lack of A woman seated at a desk, writing or reading, with a book in her hands. The background includes a window and a chair. Ironing Board Placed at Best Height for Work Both Sitting and Standing. a clotheshorse on which to spread the freshly ironed garments to dry and all virtually undoes half the work that has been done, for slightly moist garments piled together crush and crease quite badly. In the picture the board is placed at the best height for the work, both sitting and standing. It has an extendable leg to rest on, and is hinged permanently in place so that when not in use it can be folded into a small flat closet out of the way. The sprinkled clothes, ready to iron, are rolled up and covered in the hamper, and there is a clotheshorse which the ironer can reach by merely turning around. The board is set as near as possible to the stove where the irons are heating, and light from the window falls across the work. Several other points might be mentioned in connection with making ironing less of a drudgery, points out the United States Department of Agriculture. Clean, smooth iron should be used. Rubbing them occasionally with wax or paraffin will keep them in good condition. Rusty or dirty iron should be scoured with sand, soap or bath brick, washed, wiped dry, heated, waxed and rubbed smooth. Fabrics should be ironed if possible with the lengthwise thread, as large a space as possible being ironed at one time. Most materials look best if ironed thoroughly dry. Parts that dry quickly and that will hang off the board when finished should be ironed first. Cuffs and sleeves, collars and drapes or ruffles on skirts are best ironed before the main part of the garment. For silks, woolens and colored materials, medium-hot irons should be used. All these materials should be ironed on the wrong side, except aprons and children's dresses that need a smooth surface to keep clean longer. Silks and woolens may be ironed on the right side if covered with dampened cheesecloth. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Clothespins kept in a bag will last longer and keep cleaner. Keep a washable cover on your telephone book, and it will always be presentable. Add a little lemon peel to prunes while cooking. The lemon will strengthen their laxative value. Baseball Has The Best Year Since 1920! (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., June 29.-Negro baseball in America is enjoying its most prosperous year since its banner year, 1920. At this time the Negro National league was organized and proceeded to place baseball among the Dark Group upon a higher plane than ever before. Late June of 1923 sees the game again on the upward march both in progress and attendance in all the Western cities. Four clubs are now bunched at the top with only a slight percentage margin between them. The pennant winner in the league is still a deep, dark secret, four clubs having a good chance to grasp the bunting of supremacy for the 1923 season. The Indianapolis A. B. C.'s started the season in fine style, winning the first ten games played and retained the lead until recently when they invaded Detroit, and succumbed to the terrific onslaught of the Wolverines. The Indianapolis club then took on the American Giants and after this series the pennant was still a matter of guess as this series did not definitely eliminate either, but rather made it more hazy as the A's are to be hosts to the Chicago entry on July 7 on their home grounds. In the meantime, Detroit and Kansas City will be battling along for the edge, St. Louis and the Cubans along with Milwaukee will give the contenders something to worry about whenever they meet. At the beginning of the season it was thought in some quarters that the raid of the West by the East would hamper the progress of the Western league clubs—but events have proved this to be unfounded. Already disruption is stalking the Eastern clubs and players who jumped East are seeking an opportunity to play the "Prodigal Son" role. 1923 will, no doubt, prove the banner year of the West in many respects. Colored umpires have been added and are proving that they have the goods and can deliver them when given a chance. Next season will see a few more innovations in the West that will tend to increase the efficiency as well as the attendance of the league in the West. In the East favorable conditions exist and after the new Eastern combination gets to going smoothly, it should be able to develop a good league race. ST. LOUIS STARS DIVIDE FOUR GAMES (By the Associated Negro Press) St. Louis, Mo., June 29.—The Cuban Stars defeated the St. Louis Stars in the first game of the series, 7 to 0. The second game went 11 innings before a record crowd, the Stars winning over the Cubans, 9 to 7. Score: Cubans 2 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 3 0 0—7 St. L. ...0 0 2 0 0 1 0 4 0 0 2—9 Batteries—Pedrosa, Pedrone, Dibut and Rodriguez; Oldham, Bell and Ray, Umpires—Bruce and Holland. Too much credit cannot be given the Umpires of the National Negro Baseball league. They know the game and are as fair in their decisions as it is possible for mortal men to be. True rabid fans are hard to please and there is the occasional boos, but they are far less and much less merited than has been the case in the past. The league is to be congratulated in securing the services of such high-grade men for these responsible positions. It is a pleasure to watch a game under such capable handling. The St. Louis Stars defeated the Cuban Stars in the third game of the series, 5 to 1. The Cubans defeated the Stars in the fourth game of the series, 5 to 4 in 10 innings. Score: Cuban Stars.....0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1—5 St. Louis.....1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3 0—4 Batteries;—Dibut, Padrone and Abreu; Bell and Ray. Umpires—Holland and Boone.

Progressive Business Men To Exhibit Plans are being formulated by the local Negro Business league for their second annual Business Exhibition and Style Show, to be held in Novem- ber. It will be remembered that the first exhibit was an unusual achieve- ment by the promoters. Practically ‘every race business house in the city was represented in the display, which was considered the finest ever pre- sented. Union hall was taxed to the utmost eapacity when over 600 peo- ple crowded into Union hall and an equally large number were turned away because of inadequate space. ‘The suocess of the last year exhibi- tion was highly praised by the press lot the entire country, It was to be considered more important, as it was the first exhibit given by the Bust- ness league and this was done in the first year of the league existence. In preparing for the faj} Business Exhibition and the Style Show noth- ing is being spared in making the coming event even greater than last year’s. Letters are already being re- celved asking for reservations. At the rate of inquirles being made and requests for space the coming exhibit in November will likely eclipse the former one. ‘ Phone Main 8878 : CAMPBELL’S Pool and Billiards Soft Drinks, Candies, Cigars — 617 N.

There were five Past Grand Masters; one from Minnesota, he being the Senior P. G. M. of the number; three from Iowa and one from Nebraska. One Past Grand High Priest; he was formerly of the Illinois Jurisdiction. One Past Grand Commander, Knights Templar, late of the Missouri Jurisdiction. A former president of the International Conference of Grand Masters. A Past Deputy Imperial Potentate of the Ancient Egyptian Arabic Order of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine and the present president of the International Conference of Knights Templar. The Deputy Grand Master of Masons of Minnesota, as well as the Grand Treasurer, were also among the members. Taken all in all, we do not think so many notables have ever assembled in so small a group before. Officers Elected. The visitors were splendidly cared for by Bethel Chapter, R. A.

Hawkeye Grand Commandery, Knights Templar, Iowa Jurisdiction, held their First Annual Conclave in Pioneer Lodge hall, Friday, June 21. Rt. Em. Sir E. T. Banks, Grand Commander, Des Moines, Iowa, presided. Every Commandary in the jurisdiction was represented and each one was reported to have paid all indebtedness. The gain in membership, since the organization of the Grand Commandary last November, was about twenty per cent. A jewel was voted to the retiring Grand Commander. A committee to draft a complete Constitution and Code was appointed, of which Rt. Em. Sir J. H. Sherwood was named chairman. Des Moines was chosen as the place for the next Conclave and the following officers were elected: S. Joe Brown, Des Moines, Grand Commander; Walker Williams, St. Paul, Deputy Grand Commander; F. S.

A resolution was passed thanking the citizens of St. Paul for the many kind courtesies extended; thanking the newspapers for the publicity given and thanking the Masons in general, Pilgrim Commandary in particular, for the hospitality shown. NATION TO OBSERVE INDEPENDENCE DAY powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government." Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Richard Henry Lee, Thomas Jefferson, Edridge Gerry, Francis Lightfoot, Lee and Samuel Adams were a part of the number who signed the Declaration of Independence.

TUSKEGEE CASE TO BE REVISED BY COMMITTEE (Continued From Page 1) United States Veterans' Bureau, Washington, June 18, 1923. My dear Mr. President: Knowing your interest in the matter of obtaining colored personnel for the hospital at Tuskegee, I feel sure that you will be glad to learn that through the efforts of the professional colored medical associations and the Civil Service Commission, we have been able to obtain practically sufficient colored personnel to man Tuskegee. At the present time a complete corps of colored nurses has been obtained, most of them having arrived at the hospital. The medical division of this office is going over carefully the papers of doctors recommended for positions there, and we are interviewing those that will be put in responsible positions, so I hope in the very near future to be able to advise you that the hospital has been completely manned by colored personnel. Plea for Veterans Break. We have necessarily had to progress slowly in the matter because I have always felt that it was your desire that we, under no circumstances, put colored personnel there on duty that did not have the professional attainments to thoroughly handle the work, feeling that the colored people desire, as we do, that the disabled colored veterans receive treatment equal to that of any of their comrades. I am giving you this information today because I have a feeling that a certain element, prompted by a desire to obtain positions for certain individuals that are not thoroughly qualified are attempting to becloud the issue by the publication of statements that it is not the intention of the bureau to man this hospital by a complete colored personnel and I desire to re-assure you that your wishes in this regard will be carried out explicitly. Respectfully, signed, Frank T. Hines, Director. The above confirms the report sent out exclusively by the Associated Negro Press that President Harding had rebuffed the white delegation from the town of Tuskegee who called on him some time ago to protest the appointment of colored officials. President Keeps His Promise. The President, who those close to him say has always recognized the simple justice of manning the hospital with race doctors, has lived up to his promises given early in the matter and stood squarely behind Dr. Moton, who, with Southern whites baiting him on one hand and misinformed colored people, especially in the North, accusing him of compromising on the other, has been in an unenviable position. It is thus, however, say his friends, that the colored man usually serves his benefactor. The spot light has been turned, however, on odd practices indulgel in by men who have assumed the "political leadership" of the race and who, instead of putting their shoulders to the wheel, attempted to percel out the jobs, irrespective of fitness and muddy the waters. Aside from the harm they have done in clouding the issue, their attitude in attempting to rebuild their fortunes and position on the hospital has been amusing. In the meantime everything is serene on the Potomac and the Federal hand will doubtless quiet whatever unrest there is in white Tuskegee.
