HARDING DEATH SHOCK TO NATION Noted Industrial School Head in the City VOLUME II, NO. 27 HARD Noted MINN. HISTOR MINN. HIST Saint Paul NOTED EDUCATOR WILL SPEAK AT PILGRIM CHURCH Principal of Industrial High School Will Tell of Work of Great Institution. GREW FROM NOTHING TO ONE OF THE GREATEST Various Departments Characterize Progressive Spirit of Leader. Mr. A. H. Parker, principal of the Industrial High School of Birmingham, Ala., who is the guest of his cousin, Mr. and Mrs. George Wills, 1002 Iglehart avenue, is one of the formest educational and industrial builders of the race. The work of Prof. Parker in building so great a school during his administration is of great importance. He became principal of the High School in 1899. It was at that time a very small school and it was necessary for Mr. Parker to function in the capacity of principal, teacher and janitor before reaching his present success. The graduating class of this year numbered 103 students from the various departments; this proves that courage plus hard work will surmount any reasonable difficulty. Have Many Departments Thirty teachers are employed in the various departments of the school at present, in comparison to one teacher at the beginning of Mr. Parker's regime. One thousand students are in attendance and thecirriculum embraces thoro courses in nursing, printing, tailoring, home economics, and domestic science.. Other departments cover dying, mechanics, plumbing and heating and electrical wiring. A sixty piece band is another one of the assets of the school. The girls must learn to cook and sew besides their theoretical education. The school laundry is closely allied with this department. A school paper is edited by the class in printing and a major portion of the printing of the citizens is handled thru the school medium. Will Have New Building Will Have New Building The continuous growth of the High School has necessitated an increase in the buildings. A program is under way whereby the school will have a new structure costing $250,000 which will without doubt, expedite efficiency. A major portion of these continued improvements may be traced to the initiative and personal work of Principal Parker. His success is at tributed to his being able to foresee the future needs and plan accordingly. Mrs. Parker is also of valuable assistance as she has so systematized the luncheon department that the student body of one thousand are fed in forty minutes. One can readily see that the Industrial High School is of paramount importance to the community that it serves. Principal Parker will speak at Pilgrim Baptist School Sunday evening, August 5th. Everyone is urged to hear him. KLAN REQUESTED FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE (By the Associated Negro Press) Valparaiso, Ind., Aug. 3.—The Valparaiso university is so deep in financial distress that rumors have been flying around this section of the state to the effect that the Ku Klux Klan has been asked to rush to its assistance by buying the school and using it for the purpose of teaching a thorough course in the principles of that organization. Other organizations had been asked to take over the property, but in each instance they refused to do so. While no definite action has as yet been taken by the Klan organization, it is generally thought that it will take over the property. --- THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Rev. L. K.

After all, our business men of Harlem have demonstrated the good which can be achieved by co-operation. They have clearly shown their ability to do things properly. The Commercial Business Show, under the auspices of the Association of Trade and Commerce, opened Monday, to continue until Saturday, July 28. The beautifully decorated Renaissance Casino at 138th street and Seventh avenue well belts this splendid exposition. The color scheme was very wisely planned. The great number of our business industries on exhibition show the rapid strides made by our people in so short a time. William H. Roach, president of the Sarco Realty and Holding Co., the father of this wonderful project, is mainly due the credit for this splendid showing. Several addresses are to be made during the exposition by many of our well known men. Exhibition opens from 1 P. M. to 1 A. M. daily. Space is reserved for dancing.

Correction! St. Paul, Minn., August 2, 1923. The Northwestern Bulletin, City. Gentlemen: I have been retained by Mrs. W. R. Hardy of this city to correct an item of news appearing in your issue of July 21st, 1923, regarding the life insurance of Mr. W. R. Hardy, deceased. THERE WAS NO LAW SUIT TO WIN OR LOSE. The facts are these: Mr. Hardy had carried an insurance of $1,000.00 on his life for more than twenty years. He first made his mother the beneficiary in the insurance policy; afterwards it was changed and he made his wife, Mrs. Clara Hardy, the beneficiary. For years Mr. Hardy informed Mrs. Hardy that he was depending on that insurance to pay off the mortgage of $1,000.00 on his home and for the past ten years Mrs. Hardy paid the premium on the insurance out of her own money, and then for some unknown reason and without Mrs. Hardy's knowledge, the latter part of February, 1923, Mr. Hardy caused the insurance changed again. This time Miss Simmons, a niece, was made the beneficiary. Mr. Hardy died March 10, 1923, less than three weeks after the beneficiary in the insurance had been changed, leaving no funds with which to pay off the mortgage on the home and no property except the home. Under these conditions, Mrs. Hardy notified the insurance company that it seemed that undue influence had been exercised on Mr. Hardy and to withhold payment until an investigation could be made. The insurance company then paid the money over to the clerk of the district court, to be paid to whoever was entitled to it. Mrs. Hardy made no appearance in court, did not contest the matter, and as a matter of course the money was paid over to Miss Simmons, named as beneficiary in the insurance policy. Yours truly, J. LOUIS ERVIN, Attorney for Mrs. Hardy 309 Court Block, St. Paul, Minn Let's All Boost Arrangements have been completed for a big public testimonial to Charles Summer Smith, veteran editor of the Twin City Star and Minnesota Messenger, Friday, August 17, at Elks' hall, Minneapolis, in which most all public spirited citizens of the Twin Cities will join heartily. Editor Smith, suffering from a complete nervous breakdown, has been confined to his bed for the past two months and will be disabled for several months to come. Reward for long meritorious public service and sympathy for the present distress of Editor Charles Summer Smith, our inspiring loyal colored citizens are urged to make this one of the biggest events in the history of the Twin Cities. INCOMPETENCE IS HELD A REASON FOR DISMISSAL Ousted Nurses Appeal to General Hines to Put the Charges Under Investigation. $6,000 PER YEAR JOB IS GIVEN TO RELATIVE Report Says Stanley Had Understanding With Alabama Klansmen. (By the Associated Negro Press) Montgomery, Ala., Aug. 3.—Colonel Stanley, acting head of the Tuskegee U. S. Veterans' hospital, summarily suspended three of the nurses at the institution, leaving them only twenty hours to depart from the reservation. The nurses are: Evelyn C. Robinson of Philadelphia, Pa.; Adella Woode, from North Carolina, and Zelda H. Peck of Chicago. Mrs. Robinson and Miss Woode went immediately to Washington, where they went before General Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, and asked for an investigation. The suspension papers were given to the nurses by Nurse Esther Bullock of Chicago, acting chief nurse. "Unsatisfactory service" is the only cause given, and no interview with Colonel Stanley was permitted. One Hundred Patients. The Associated Negro Press can state with reliability that conservatively thinking white people of Alabama are aroused at the continued opposition of the small group of white politicians to the carrying out of the government program of establishing a colored personnel at the Veterans' hospital, and in the interest of the future economic welfare of the state, are bringing unqualified pressure to bear acting upon an immediate adjustment. With fewer than 100 patients at the hospital up to this time, already amazing conditions have been unearthed, by investigation, due to the seemingly unsympathetic attitude of Colonel Stanley. All indications point to the fact that Colonel Stanley is bent on these things: To keep himself in office; to use it for personal ends; to keep colored employees subordinated; to oppose the government's program. Relative Appointed. Stanley's son-in-law, Simmons, has been appointed to a $6,000 a year position at the hospital. That the Ku Klux of Alabama and Colonel Stanley (Continued on Page 4) Alumni Bachelors Offer Specialty Soon The Alumni Bachelors' club, Minneapolis premier social organization, is planning on presenting another one of their unusual entertainments in the near future. "The Bashful Boy" was a real hit and a repetition has been asked by numerous persons. The proceeds from these entertainments will be used to maintain a community club house, which is a much needed asset, in the Mill City. The Bachelors are well known in the Twin Cities and deserve our highest commendation for their progressive spirit. In speaking of the further activities of the A. B. C.'s, James T. Hughes, Jr., president, said: "It is the purpose of our club to present something educational as well as social and be of material assistance in bettering the conditions of Minneapolis. We are waiting with eager expectancy to the next feature of the A. B. C.'s and feel safe in saying it will possess its traditional value.

Garding-1923 THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNION OF CANADA INTER-RACIAL COMMITTEE IS ST. LOUIS PLAN Five Men From the Two Races Will Discuss Ways and Means for Civic Welfare. (By the Associated Negro Press, St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 3.—The St. Louis Clarion is urging the selection of an inter-racial commission of ten members, five colored and five white, to be chosen by various representative organizations for the purpose of studying the housing situation, the expansion of the Negro district to accommodate the influx due to migration from the South, with a view of preventing causes of racial friction. Officers of the paper who are active in this movement are C. K. Robinson, president; Roy Lowe, secretary, and J. L. Jones, treasurer. The St. Louis branch of the N. A. A. C. P. also has this situation under consideration and will make definite suggestions in the near future looking to some relief in this respect. A survey is also in progress securing definite data upon which to base some organized effort; this survey is being made by prominent private citizens. Other cities have found methods for assimilating the migrants, notably Chicago and Philadelphia. St. Louis, being a gateway for much of the Middle West, feels the need of organized effort acutely. The Urban league estimates that a large per cent of the new comers continue farther north, yet a strong influx is still noticeable here. A paid worker is supported by some of the churches at the union station to greet the new arrivals and other efforts will serve to strengthen the effort already begun. Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Tandy, 593 Iglehart Avenue are enjoying their new Dodge sport model which they recently purchased. Mr. and Mrs. James Woods of Des Moines, Ia., who were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Miller, departed for their home Sunday morning. During their stay here they were the inspiration for many social activities. Famous Orchestra Gets Foreign Offer (By J. A. Jackson, Through Special Arrangement of the Associated Negro Press With the Billboard) Press With the Billboard) A colored orchestra left New York on July 26, en route for Manila, Philippine Islands, under contract to play for a year in the big government hotel there. They went via Montreal to Vancouver and the Pacific S. S. Line. The group includes Toney Yates, Andrew F. Rosemond, Bailey W. Jackson, William F. Gegeman and "Little Junk" Edwards, five of the most famous musicians of the metropolis. The engagement is the result of negotiations conducted through the Page by Major Loving, conductor of the famed Philippine Constabulary band, and Charles A. Parker, the Columbus, Ohio, band and orchestra director, who recently moved to New York, where he is now conducting a musical booking office. While several smaller contracts have preceded this one, this is the biggest piece of business handled to date. In point of distance, it is probably the longest range musical contract involving our group that has ever been handled from New York or any other American center. Mr. Parker has just installed his family, a wife and two daughters, in a New York residence. The daughters are both accomplished young ladies, one being a graduate of Ohio State university, and the younger one of the Columbus high school. Gen. Wood Fails to Retrieve Faith (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., Aug. 3.—Reports are now being circulated in official circles that General Leonard Wood has lost so much caste as the governor general of the Philippine Islands that the native members of the legislature have asked the United States government to appoint a Filipino as governor general in his stead. It is being asserted that all of the appointive legislators are resigning and that General Wood's position is becoming almost untenable. Secretary of State Hughes has given no sign as to whether the State Department will take official notice of the islanders' complaints. PRICE: FIVE CENTS FATAL RELAPSE ENDS VACATION OF PRES.HARDING Nation's Chief Executive Fails to Rally From Attack of Fatal Stroke. WIFE WAS AT BEDSIDE WHEN 'BAR WAS CROSSED' Body Will Be Interred in City Town Where He Had Spent Most of Life. San Francisco, Aug. 3.—President Harding died at 7:30 o'clock 9:30 P. M. Central time) last night of a stroke of apoplexy. The end came suddenly while Mrs. Harding was reading to him from the evening newspapers and after what had been called the best day he had had since the beginning of his illness, exactly one week ago. A shudder ran through the President's form and he collapsed. Mrs. Harding and the two nurses in the sickroom knew the end had come and Mrs. Harding rushed out of the room and asked for Dr. Joel Boone and the others to "come quick." Dr. Boone and Brigadier General Sawyer reached the President before he passed away, but were not able to avert the inevitable. Apoplexy Held Death Cause. The following formal announcement of the President's death was made: "The President died at 7:30 P. M. Mrs. Harding and the two nurses, Miss Ruth Powderly and Miss Sue Dausser, were in the room at the time. Mrs. Harding was reading to the President when utterly without warning a slight shudder passed through his frame, he collapsed and all recognized that the end had come. A stroke of apoplexy was the cause of his death. "Within a few moments all of the President's official party had been summoned." Nothing could have been a more shocking surprise. Shortly before the President's sudden collapse, General Sawyer, the chief physician of the President, had been telling newspapermen that Mr. Harding had had the best day since he became seriously ill last Sunday night. He said that the President had definitely entered upon the stage of convalescence. Everything went to show that Mr. Harding was on the road to ultimate recovery. Death Shocks Official Party. The members of the official party—those who had accompanied the President and Mrs. Harding on their trip across the continent and to Alaska and back to continental United States, had no warning that the President was in danger. They, like the newspapermen, had been assured that a fatal termination of the President's illness was a thing not likely and with good care he would be able to recover health and strength. Most of the members of the official party were at dinner when the shocking news came. George B. Christian, Jr., secretary to the President, and his devoted friend, was in Los Angeles with Mrs. Christian. He had gone there at the President's solicitation to read at a Masonic gathering an address which the President had prepared in the expectation that he would deliver it in person. Mr. Christian declined to leave San Francisco until he was positively assured by the President's physicians that there was no likelihood of any backin on the President's condition. Death was not thought of. The body of President Harding will leave San Francisco on a special train at about 7 P. M. today and go direct to Washington by way of Reno, Ogden, Cheyenne, Omaha and Chicago. This announcement was made after a conference participated in by four members of the President's official party in San Francisco and was approved by Mrs. Harding. The train will make no stops en route except those necessary for its operation. The body of the President (Continued on page 4) Entered as second-class matter February 20, 1922, at the postoffice at St. Paul, Minn., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

This is absolutely necessary to promote the highest degree of success. We all realize the advantage of co-operation. We are thoroughly conscious of the multiplicity of benefits derived therefrom. Yet there are some who consciously or unconsciously are impeding the progress of a great co-operative association whose function it is to make better race industry among our people. No greater body has ever existed in the city, for our group, than the local Negro Business league. This association was organized and is maintained solely for the purpose of creating better co-operation for our mutual benefit. The accomplishments of the local body, since its organization, are apparent. It has been instrumental in bringing about many things to the advantage of our citizens. It can function better only by receiving the undivided support of every race business man or woman in the city. For what reason are some of our commercial people standing aloft instead of joining this great body? Do they feel that permanent advancement is made by individual merchants? The Negro Business league is the "Chamber of Commerce" for our group in St. Paul. It is deserving of the heartiest support of every race enterprise in the city. When we fail to assist in building up our several businesses by mutual co-operation we need not wonder why we still have small grocery stores, wooden chairs in our barber shops, two-by-four restaurants and a general backwardness in commercial activities until we wake up to the necessity of joining, not only joining, but supporting such bodies as the local Business league. The race is no longer a child whose fancies are humored by fond parents. We have developed into maturity and the commercial world expects us to be strengthened on the same diet that others are fed. If St. Paul is to remain in the front ranks of progress there must be a greater interest displayed in our race businesses. This must begin with the commercial enterprises and be disseminated to the rank and file by educational processes. Join the local Business league. It needs worthwhile citizens to make it stronger. Not only does it help the league, but each individual member.

Sixty-one lynchings in the United States in 1922 was the ugly challenge of lawless mobs in the South to the effort of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to wipe out "the shame of America," but the leaders of the association take heart for the future from various favorable tendencies of the times. One of the heartening things cited by the association in its thirteenth annual report is that there is today a widespread organized sentiment in the South against the crime of lynching, whereas not many years ago only a few courageous whites dared raise their voices audibly in protest, save in the most general terms. Now, according to the report mentioned, "powerful groups of southern white women have publicly repudiated the lynching mob as a 'protector of womanhood,' and many of the leading newspapers of the South are outspoken in opposition to mob rule." The association is disappointed, but not discouraged, by the failure of Congress to enact the Dyer anti-lynching bill. The measure went through the House last January by a vote of 230 to 119, but it was jockeyed to death in the closing days of the session in the Senate. The fight is to be renewed in the next Congress, and it will have to be made, of course, in both chambers. All the 61 lynchings of 1922 cited by the report took place in the South. Five of the victims were white* Americans and one was a Mexican. Texas with 16, Georgia with 11, Mississippi with 8, and Florida and Louisiana with 5 each were the leading offenders. Nineteen were shot, 18 hanged, eight burned, one drowned, one beaten to death, and 14 came to death by means undetermined. Nine lynchings were for murder, and 27 were for alleged attacks on, insults to, or improper relations with, white women. The fact that lynchings are not prevalent in other countries of enlightened citizenship is proof enough that the evil can be abolished in the United States. Doubtless the day of deliverance can be hastened by state and national legislation, but the strongest antidote must always be the force of a healthy public opinion and a rightly postured public conscience. There are Federal laws to protect the Negro in the South in the full enjoyment of his political rights, but these laws are conspicuous for the breach of them, not the adherence to them. The Dyer bill, if enacted, will fall short in effectiveness if there is lacking a strong buttress of aggressive sentiment in the South. The Dyer bill directs itself to fear rather than to conscience. The latter is the thing to be reached, and for that reason the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will do well to pin a good part of its faith and hope to the anti-lynching missionary work carried on by what it calls "powerful groups of southern white women," and by other civic organizations in discouragement of lynching as an aspect of so-called "southern chivalry." WE CAN DO IT an opportunity was given to the business something worth while to further the it is inviting the National Negro Business next year. It has been largely due to the league that St. Paul has received national facility, from housing to entertaining welfare of a large delegation. A such if each race business person would take body. If the commercial side of St. P. promote the best of welfare, it would be able to entertain the National Negro Business of co-operation for mutual advancement. If ever an opportunity was given to the business men of the city to do something worth while to further the interest of St. Paul, it is by inviting the National Negro Business league to convene here next year. It has been largely due to the influence of the Business league that St. Paul has received national recognition. We have every facility, from housing to entertaining, that is necessary to the welfare of a large delegation. A such venture would be successful if each race business person would take an active part in the local body. If the commercial side of St. Paul was determined to promote the best of welfare, it would be a comparatively easy matter to entertain the National Negro Business league here next year. We talk of co-operation for mutual advancement, but when it --- comes to execution we are sadly lacking. It should be the aim of every business enterprise in the city to boost for the Business league convention here next August. It can be done; so let every true and loyal race man and woman join the local organization and work for a greater St. Paul. Why not have the representatives of the local Business league who attended the convention at Hot Springs invite the convention body here next season and then let every one get out and boost for a bigger and better business relationship. Come on St. Paul, Let's Go! Timely Topics By George W. Holbert Last week we touched upon the influx of new citizens from the South and also of the possible changed working conditions likely to accrue therefrom. This week we are going to discuss the Negro as a worker and his relationship to organized labor. Of course the first thing for us to understand is that these new people from the South are workers, they have been raised and taught to work and labor is to them the natural means of subsistence. Many of them are also skilled workers and I have no doubt we shall soon wake up to the fact that within the ranks of this new Negro population there will be many who are proficient in all the different trades. Now the question arises, what is going to be the attitude of organized labor towards the Negro workmen and theirs towards organized labor. The American Federation of Labor at its convention in Montreal in 1919 passed a resolution requiring all Internationals and locals affiliated with the American Federation to remove all language from their by-laws and constitutions which in any way tended to bar Negroes from membership, still we know that in many sections of the country the law is not observed and Negroes have but small chance of joining locals of their craft, or if they are permitted to join they are in many cases discriminated against by the employing foreman and ostracised by their fellow white workmen. Here in the Twin Cities many Negroes belong to Union organizations and apparently they get along all right. I had the honor of being a member of both the Minneapolis and St. Paul Trades and Labor Assemblys and was always accorded every right and privilege that I was entitled to and was always listened to with courtesy and attention, and at the present time we have two Negroes in the Minneapolis Trades and Labor Assembly who are representing locals of which they are the only Negro members. But such favorable conditions are not the rule throughout the country. I will admit that organized labor has been unfair to Negro labor but very little can be done from the outside to change conditions. The Negro is rapidly becoming a powerful factor in the labor market. The war opened many doors of employment to them that previously had been closed to them and at the same time opened the eyes of the white employers. They found these men and women to be apt learners, easy to handle and best of all thoroughly reliable. The leaders of Organized labor had long known that this great mass of Negro labor would have to be reckoned with some day and there is no doubt that had the question been left to these high in the councils of organized labor, steps would have been taken long ago towards the proper recognition of this great army of Negro brawn. But the opposition came from the rank and file, thousands of whom were not even American citizens. But when the war was over, many of the great plants were closed and others began to return to their pre-war status, the natural result was, a great weeding out of war time employees. The Negro workers had proven so satisfactory and efficient, that thousands of them were retained; then it was that organized labor awoke to the fact that these millions of black workers, who were also 100 per cent Americans were not only a most potent factor in the industrial life of the Nation but were also a positive menace to organized labor just so long as they remained free agents to sell their labor in the open market to the highest bidder. And then it was that the resolution previously referred to was adopted and since that time strenuous efforts have been made to incorporate Negro workers into all branches of organized labor. It should make no difference to us what the motive was that has changed the sentiment towards us, whether it was for their own protection or not, we should not refrain from taking advantage of the opportunity so long as it is beneficial to us and will give to our workers the same advantages and protection that it does to white workers. The whole question then resolves itself into, is Unionism good for the Negro? Ask any member of Race who is affiliated with it and he will tell you yes. Oh, I know there are those who will say that the NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Unions simply use the Negro as a tool. They get him to join them, then call a strike, everybody walks out and then when its adjusted the Negro is left out. That to a degree has been true in the past, but there is a vast difference now. The American Federation of Labor at its last convention had over two hundred Negro delegates in attendance and don't let anybody tell you that those men were not fighting for their rights. George W. Milner of Norfolk, Va., was one of the most conspicuous men in that body and succeeded in getting legislation passed covering the long shoremen's union (of which he is President) making it one of the best paid and protected labor organizations in the country. So the more we ally ourselves with organized labor and the more intelligent and aggressive men we send to represent us at both the local meetings and national conventions to present our grievances and advocate our rights, just that much sooner will all the differences be adjusted. But we can't accomplish anything on the outside we must get in there and then fight for our rights. Anytime a bunch of men organize for anything that is beneficial or uplifting, some good will result from it, even if the main object may not be reached. We had a little waiters union in St. Paul a few years ago. Ask any of the men who worked at the St. Paul Hotel at that time how wretched were the conditions under which they labored. The Union set about to have those conditions changed. Eventually when the cooks and waiters strike came, the union men walked out. What was the result? More pay, shorter hours, better food and a wonderful change in the working conditions. Oh, yes I know the men who struck were not taken back, not all of them, not right away, but these who did go to work benefited by the sacrifice made by that bunch of all union men who had the courage to ask for what they thought was right and just. There never was a victory without a price and somebody has to pay it. Most of us are just a little bit afraid of losing our jobs when it comes to asking for what's coming to us, but the skies are clearing now and men of all races and colors are growing closer together on things that concern their common welfare and the Negro as a worker must take his place in the ranks of organized labor or find himself sadly out in the cold. In presenting Timely Topics to the readers of the Bulletin, it has been and will continue to be the effort of the writer to present such things for your consideration which in his humble judgement are of value in the development of the racial interests of this community and at the same time to contribute something towards making the Bulletin the best race paper in the Northwest. In appearance, make-up and news matter it is the candid opinion of this writer that the Bulletin is now the best Negro paper the Twin Cities has ever had and compares favorably with any other leading Race papers, but it is the ambition of the publishers of the Bulletin to make it a still better paper, but in order to do so they must have your cooperation. We want your subscription, we want your advertising and we want your moral support. PREMIER PUTS FOOT ON RACE PREJUDICE Paris, France, Aug. 3.—Premier Poincaré has taken the "color question," which has been agitated by American tourists during the past few months, under his immediate official wing by declaring that he will tell the American government, through its ambassador here, that the French government cannot recognize any "color line" in its attitude toward colored people. Somebody Wuz Sayin' that— E. J. don't visit Minneapolis very much now, we think its because a certain lady told him to come home and stay till he grows taller.

MURPHY with Blame the Fire Lighter ©. 1925, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. Marjorie Peters had hurried home from school that afternoon, for just as she was leaving her small apartment after lunch the parcel post man had come in with a package for her. She had met him in the hall and had just time enough to hurry back up two flights of stairs with the package, unlock the door and slip it into the front hall. To have stopped long enough to see what the package contained would have meant tardiness at afternoon session. So Marjorie changed her mind about keeping Bobble Smith and Tommy Taylor in late, and as soon as the children had filled out of the room at three o'clock she turned the key in her desk drawer and hurried out of the room, down the school corridor and off to her little apartment as fast as possible. So she had a full half hour to open the package and examine its contents before Grace Baldwin—also school teacher—returned. "It's a Cape Cod fire-lighter," Margaret explained, holding up the little brass tray on which rested the brass tankard and torch. "You know—you keep kerosene oil in here and keep the torch soaking and then, when you want to light a log in your fireplace, you don't need any paper or kindling. Just set the torch under the log, light the torch and let it burn. The heat from the flame starts the log burning—" "But it would be dangerous—having the kerosene standing about that way. I mean if there were any dogs or children about—they might upset it." "But we haven't any dogs—or children," defended Marjorie. "And we haven't any fireplace, either," replied Grace. "No," sighed Marjorie, "but, you see, when I specified a Cape Cod fire-lighter I didn't know what high rents were asked for apartments with fireplaces. I'd hoped we could have one. You see, it was last year when I was off at my aunt's summer place in Massachusetts, and we had a bet. "I said I wouldn't be engaged by November of this year and she said I would—so we bet an embroidered bureau cover to a Cape Cod fire-lighter, and—" "But it isn't the first of November," said Grace. "It's only the first of October. You've a whole month—" Marjorie looked vexed. "Doesn't it amount to the same thing?" she demanded. "How in the world could I be engaged when there's no one to be engaged to? And you know, yourself, that people don't meet other people here in this city. So last week I wrote my aunt and told her I'd won the bet and she might as well pay up. Really, it is lovely, isn't it?" "Yes," agreed Grace, rather slowly. "What can we use it for? If we took the torch out it would do rather nicely for maple sirup—that is, if either of us used maple-sirup." "Don't be absurd," warned Marjorie. "We're not going to use it at all until we can use it for a fire-lighter." Home to Marjorie seemed like some place where you could sit before an open fire. She saved the real estate sections of the Sunday papers and looked carefully through the advertisements of apartments for rent having open fireplaces. Usually she found that the rent for such apartments was at least twice what she and Grace were then paying. Meantime the Cape Cod fire-lighter, untied, rested on top of Marjorie's bookcase. Thus two weeks passed. Then Marjorie saw an advertisement in a Sunday paper of "open fireplace apartments" in the very house where she and Grace lived. So Marjorie visited the agent of the apartments, thinking that perhaps the rent of the apartment advertised would not be more expensive than she and Grace wished to pay. The agent was not encouraging. "The rent for that apartment is $100 a month," he said—Marjorie and Grace paid $80. "The party that rents it is anxious to get out—and his lease expires the first of November. But he won't let it go for a dollar less than $100—sorry. We can get that much on account of the fireplace. Fine if you like them, but I'd rather sit in front of a radiator myself." Marjorie knew the rent was prohibitive, but she felt curiosity concerning the apartment. She figured out how long it would be with the present scale of salary increases for school teachers before she would be justified in such extravagance. She asked the agent if she might look at the apartment, and he referred her to the janitor, who had the keys. The janitor told her that the "party" hadn't moved out yet, but that she could look at it. He—"the party"—didn't get home until seven at night. The janitor himself was going away that afternoon. If she wished to look at the apartment that afternoon, no harm would be done and she might have the janitor's key. Of course, said the janitor, that was a little unusual, letting one have keys like that, especially as the apartment was still furnished—but still—Marjorie took the hint and gave the janitor a half-dollar. That afternoon the principal detained her at school going over changes in programs, and it was not until five that Marjorie reached the apartment. She went direct to the "open fireplace"—decidedly impatient. When she reached the door she felt like a thief— letting herself into some one's apartment unasked. The hall door creaked a little as she opened it and a little more as she closed it behind her. It was a little entrance hall with three doors leading to three rooms. She opened one—obviously a coat closet. Another door opened into a room lined with books—a small room with a desk and a winged chair by a table. It was probably the third room that contained the open fireplace. Marjorie was about to close the door to proceed to the third door, when something—some one moved. It was from behind the wings of that chair. A man rose, stretched himself drowsily and rubbed his eyes. Obviously it was the "party" who occupied the apartment. Marjorie stammered something about keys and janitors and open fireplaces and Cape Cod fire-lighters, though she was sorry as soon as she had done so that she had mentioned the lighter. "It's quite all right," said the man, "and I'm glad you woke me up. I'm not usually home in the daytime, but I brought some work home from the office, thinking I'd have a quieter place here—and I must have fallen to sleep. If you want to see the room with the fireplace, by all means have a look," and the man went on, now wide awake, and ushered Marjorie into the next room. "What any one can do with a fireplace here in the city, I don't see. I've bought some wood, have it stored in one of the hall closets—but you can't start a fire with paper and logs, and there's no place to split wood in an apartment. What do people do for kindlings?—have to go out to the corner store and buy it. I suppose—" "That's where a Cape Cod fire-lighter comes in," said Marjorie. And that was the real beginning of the romance. The man, Dawson Hill, noticed then, as Marjorie looked up at him, that she had just the kind of clear blue eyes that he had always admired. He wanted to see her again, and here was a good chance. He asked whether he might borrow the fire-lighter, and before Marjorie had gone it had been arranged that she and Grace should bring the fire-lighter the first really chilly evening and they'd try it. In the meantime they'd buy the kerosene, and in the meantime, too, Marjorie suggested that Mr. Hill come and call. It seemed only a courteous thing to suggest after having been so rude as to enter his apartment so unceremoniously. Mr. Hill called the next night, and the following night it seemed so chilly that he rang the bell at Marjorie's apartment and asked her if she and Miss Baldwin would not come and try the fire-lighter. This all happened about the middle of October. Two weeks later, on the last day of the month, Marjorie's aunt received a package from her niece. It contained a Cape Cod fire-lighter, but not the one she had sent. A letter reached her the same day, "This is not the same fire-lighter," it explained, "because we want to keep that one as a memento. But I've lost my bet. The fire-lighter did it. His name is Dawson Hill." PHILADELPHIA IN CIVIL WAR Greatest Crush in Hospitals of Pennsylvania Metropolis Was After Battle of Gettysburg. Not so many Philadelphiaans have now a clear memory of the immense hospitals in this city during the 60's, "Girard" writes in the Philadelphia Inquirer. Because this was the greatest city nearest the battlefields, Philadelphia military hospitals got more of the severely wounded than were sent anywhere else. A more important fact is this: The death rate in Philadelphia hospitals was lowest. During the rebellion, 157,000 sick or wounded soldiers were sent to Philadelphia hospitals. During Grant's campaign following the Wilderness 46,500 cases poured into this city. Of that number only 975 died. Ten thousand wounded soldiers from Meade's stricken army were brought here in trains. The hospitals had been notified that their 5,000 surplus beds would be required, but double the number came. Largely due to these hospitals to which Pennsylvania troops were sent whenever possible, this was one of but four northern states which had a larger number of troops die upon battlefields than perished of disease. Pennsylvania's casualties were fifty-six killed by bullets for forty-six killed by disease. French Houses Made of Straw The straw used in dwelling construction in France is cut into fine fragments with revolving knives, crushed on steel rollers and compressed in hydraulic presses into blocks eighteen inches wide and high, and as long as required. The blocks are used for walls, with a light framework of studs. The walls give the best of insulation against heat and cold, are only one-tenth as heavy as stone or brick, and the structures are said to cost only half as much as ordinary frame houses.—New York World. Wolf's Narrow Escape. As we know, the wolf comes unannounced to various doors. This time the wolf came to a door in an office building. The harbinger of famine paused, however, to read the sign thereon. "Promoter." The wolf tiptoed away. "A narrow escape," muttered the brute to himself. "One more false step on my part and he would have been in the fur business."

Ye Men of The Rails! Do we see our real opportunities as we advance in our daily journeys up and down the land? Let us have in mind a helping hand for our group. We should learn self-respect and at all times strive to give the world the best that is in us. Remembering that we represent not only ourselves, but twenty millions of other souls in our group in this country and countless numbers in other lands. To help bring the masses of these noble people to a new standard of thinking and acting should be the duty of the hour for us all. Action and re-action have been the governing spirits of mankind throughout all ages. So it must be with us in our journey from the lower to the higher walks of life. There are four steps in this journey. First, we want a new set of thinking men and women in our non-productive institutions, to take us by the hand and lead us as you would a blind man to see how we can help to make these institutions productive of men, ideas, tools and goods. These are the four steps that we should help our group to take, as these have been and always will be the natural course of civilized man. Ye men of the rails represent an army of fifty thousand men who reach all parts of the country daily. Suppose we decide to take these four steps ourselves and then begin a systematic teaching in our homes. This would mean virtually an army of 150,000 men and women, demanding that our churches, lodges and schools join us in what will come to be known as a new age of usefulness. We need, in short, a clearing house of ideas that are being constantly presented to our group, or what might be more effective, a clearing house which will simply throw away fake methods and give us new ideas of the affairs of men. Teach us, if you please, to use rather than abuse the opportunities that God has given us. This, gentlemen, is the crying need of the hour, in national and international affairs. Little Harriet Davis, daughter of the late Mrs. Bernice Davis and niece of the late Editor Walter Chesnutt, who has been confined to the Ancker hospital since April 4, has been released from the hospital and is home with her grandmother, Mrs. Florence Chesnutt, 474 Arundle street.

The Natureland News was brought out only once in a while, for it was so much more of a treat then. Different creatures sent in items of news, and others just did things which they hoped would be noticed by the reporters for the Natureland News. Oh yes, everyone liked to be in the Natureland News, and every member of the family would get copies and read the bits about themselves again and again. Then they would get as many extra copies as they could so that they could give them around to their friends and save some of them, too, so as to show them to their grandchildren later on. No one who isn't a real Natureland creature can ever actually see the paper but once in a while the fairies will whisper the items of news which have appeared in the paper to a grown-up person and in that way it can be passed on to lots of humans. Of course we can often read Natureland News ourselves even if we can't see the Natureland newspaper for it "Selling Copies of the Natureland News." we look carefully we can see all sorts of Natureland events happening all around us. But I am going to give you now a written copy of the paper as read to me by Billie Brownle. Mr. and Mrs. American Goldfinch have joined the Goldfinch community and are living on Flower avenue, having recently built a nest there. Grandfather Porky Pig and Master Brother Bacon are rejoicing in the springtime. The mud is at its best at this time, they state. Mr. Thomas Cat, who has been spending the greater part of the winter with friends under the kitchen stove, has been seen napping in the sunshine on the back porch of his residence of late. Glad to see you, Mr. Thomas, and to note that you've not suffered any ill effects from the winter. The Tiger Swallowtail Butterfly Family have come out of their chrysalis state and announce that the young caterpillar children will be brought up as their ancestors were—to feed upon the leaves which they have as their resting places. This, the Tiger Swallowtail says, will save the bother of going to market. When they become quite grown their proud relatives say they, too, will be handsome tiger-colored butterflies with magnificent swallowtails. Red Top, the Rooster, of Barnyard fame, wishes to announce that he will continue to awaken all those who leave early calls for him. Those who do not leave such calls he will probably also be good enough to awaken as he would not want them to over-sleep through having forgotten to tell him. The Horse-chestnut trees are giving a tree festival in honor of Mistress Springtime. All the trees are dressing themselves in their very best for the notable occasion. Mr. Gander called upon Miss Goose the other day and called her a "perfect goose." So flattered was she that the next day she announced her engagement to Mr. Gander. To her mind it was a great compliment as she said that she was a goose anyway and it was nice to be considered a perfect one. King Lion, Zoo House, wishes to announce that he will roar daily around meal time. Those who wish to take this opportunity to hear his marvelous voice may do so and tickets will not have to be presented in order to gain admittance. Tickets and money mean nothing to King Lion. Beef and great juicy bones, however, do! Many new arrivals are noted daily. Springtime seems to be the popular time of the year. RIDDLES Why is Christopher kind to birds? Because he is fond of a lark. What color does a whipping make a naughty boy? It makes him yell "Oh!" Which has the hardest life of it, tea or coffee? Tea, because coffee can settle down but tea has to stand and draw. THE CHEF'S OVEN Either of These Two Good Types of Oven Will Save Gas. (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) A small portable oven used over a burner on the top of a gas stove effects considerable saving in gas consumption, points out the United States Department of Agriculture. Baking small amounts of biscuits, muffins, potatoes and other foods requiring high temperatures for a short time in a large oven wastes gas needlessly. Double walls and, if possible, some insulation should be insulated on when selecting one of the various types of small portable ovens. The oven burners in the ordinary gas stove oven may use 40 to 50 cubic feet of gas an hour when turned on full at the higher pressures. A large proportion of this heat is lost unless the oven is insulated between the outer and inner walls. Asbestos paper one-eighth inch or more thick may be used in small ovens, but larger ovens need better insulation than this. Low or moderate baking temperatures can be used to a much greater extent than most cooks realize. Preheating the oven often consumes 50 percent of the entire amount of gas and is in many cases entirely unnecessary. Many foods could be started in a cold oven. SKIM MILK HAS FOOD VALUE There Is Left All of Sugar and Most of Mineral Substances, but Also Proteins. Whole milk, as every one knows, is an indispensable food for the young, and even in the diet of the adult it is desirable. For cooking purposes, however, skim milk is very satisfactory, although it lacks the valuable food constituent, butterfat. There is left nevertheless in the skim milk, not only all of the sugar, which amounts to about 4½ parts in every 100, and most of the mineral substances, but also most of the proteins. The last named class of substances is important, because besides supplying muscle and tissue-building material, they also serve as fuel for the body, as fats, sugars and starches do. Since the nutritive part of skim milk consists very largely of protein, it is to be classed with such food materials as egg, meat, fish, poultry and cheese (though it is more delicate than those foods), rather than with such substances as sugar, which serve only as fuel. Two and a half quarts of skim milk contain almost as much protein and yield about the same amount of energy as a pound of round beef. Whole, unskimmed milk has, of course, a more pleasing taste to many people, and those who do not need to consider the additional cost will no doubt always prefer it. Children should always be given whole milk. When used for cooking, however, the difference in taste between skimmed and unskimmed milk is not so perceptible, and there are many uses to which skim milk can be put in the preparation of foods. In the making of cereal mushes, for instance, the use of skim milk in place of water adds greatly to the nutritive value, particularly by raising the amount of tissue-forming materials. For Best Results Burners Must Be Kept Clean and in Good Condition—Have Clear Flame. For good results in using a gas stove keep the burners clean and in good condition, and adjust the air shutters properly, advises the United States Department of Agriculture. The flame should be clear, blue and of uniform height. The screw on the air shutter can be adjusted easily with a screwdriver. The flame should be long enough to reach the bottom of the saucepan, but not so long that it will reach its side. The burner should be set as close as possible to the bottom of the saucepan in which food is cooking. One and one-half inches between the upper surface of the burner and the bottom of the pan is enough, in most cases, and sometimes less will suffice. However, the vessel should not sit so close over the flame as to touch the inner blue cone or core of the flame, for in that case combustion becomes imperfect to such an extent that carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas, may be formed. OF INTEREST TO THE HOUSEWIFE Remove tar with kerosene, then warm water and soap. Press ribbons on the wrong side and there will be no iron shine. Only paper plates and napkins should be used on a picnic lunch. Gilt frames can be renewed by washing first with vinegar and then polishing with paraffin. Mold your left-over vegetables in gelatin and they will add an appetizing salad to any menu. SUPPLEMENT TO THE NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN STRONG DRAFTS ARE HARMFUL TO CANARY STRONG DRAFTS ARE HARMFUL TO CANARY (Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) Canaries are susceptible to sudden changes in temperature, and cold drafts may soon prove fatal, says the United States Department of Agriculture. In choosing a place for the cage, direct exposure to a strong draft of cold air must always be avoided. A cage may be placed on a small shelf along the wall, or suspended from a bracket attached to the wall or window casing. Swinging brackets are inexpensive and are convenient for use when it is impracticable to fasten hooks in the ceiling. When one or two canaries are kept as pets, it is usual to suspend their cages before a window, where the birds may enjoy light and sunshine. This is a good practice where the window is kept closed during cool or stormy weather, and the joints are tight. It may be necessary to line the edges of the window frame and the junction of the upper and lower halves of the window with weather-stripping to prevent drafts, and it is best to suspend the cage so that it will hang opposite or below the junction of the two halves of the window frame. The room must remain at a fairly even temperature day and night, and in cold weather it is well to cover the cage with a towel or other light cloth at night. A cage should never be suspended directly above a radiator, and it is best to avoid keeping birds in small kitchens, as the fluctuations in heat are perhaps more marked there than in any other part of the house. Exposure to damp air may prove fatal. The cage must be kept scrupulously clean if the canary is to remain in good health and free from vermin. The supply of water should be renewed daily, and the seed cup replenished at least every other day. The receptacles for these necessities should be cleaned and washed carefully at short intervals. Cages that have removable bases should have the tray in the bottom covered with several thicknesses of paper, or with heavy, coarse-grained sandpaper, known as gravel paper, that may be secured from dealers in bird-cage supplies. This should be renewed whenever the cage is cleaned, and, in addition, the pan should be washed in hot water from time to time. Lime on the perches may be removed by means of a scraper made of a bit of tin fastened to a wire or tacked at right angles to a stick small enough to pass easily between the wires of the cage. Cages with bottom attached should be provided with a sand tray that slides in and out through a slot in the front. PLAN TO USE STRAWBERRIES Sauce Which Can Be Served With Rice or Cottage Pudding is Very Good. Strawberry sauce, which can be served with boiled rice or cottage pudding, is good, say food specialists in the United States Department of Agriculture. It is a good way, too, to use the wild berries that are sometimes brought home from a tramp through the meadow. Strawberry Sauce. % cupful butter. % to % cupful 1 cupful powdered strawberries. sugar Rub together the butter and the sugar, then add the strawberries, a few at a time, beating until the fruit is mashed. If you object to the curdling of the sauce, which affects the appearance only, rub the white of one egg thoroughly into the butter and sugar before adding the berries. This protects the fat from the action of the acid of the berries. YOUR HOME BANK SOLICITS YOUR BANKING AND INSURANCE BUSINESS Clearance Sale! How Much Do You KNOW By Robert P. Edwards (For A. N. P.) (By Robert P. Edwards for A. N. P.) 22 What became of the Temple of Diana? The fourth wonder of the world was the Temple of Diana, at Ephesus, built in the fourth century before Christ and destroyed by the Goths in 262 A. D. This magnificent building became a sort of museum for the reception of objects of art, and eventually a place of sanctuary for criminals and fugitives, who could not be harmed while under the protection of Diana. Even men with fresh blood on their hands were safe within its pagan walls. 23. Who is the greatest Negro scientist? More than one hundred varieties of products from peanuts, ranging from from the purest of milks for the sick room to ink, useful for writing and sketching, have been discovered by Prof. G. W. Carver of Tuskegee Institute. He has demonstrated many of his experiments before the members of the Congressional Ways and Means Committee at Washington. Prof. Carver is 53 years old, and the son of ex-slaves. He was born in Diamond, Mo., and his education began at the age of 15 years. His high school training was received in Minneapolis. He is a graduate of the Iowa Agricultural college, with the degrees of A. B. and A. M. and was a student for six years of former Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. 24. Who was Toussaint L'Ouverture? Toussaint L'Ouverture of Haiti was a slave and the son of slaves, yet in 1793, when his country was invaded by British and Spanish armies, he showed all the qualities of a remarkable leader. His natural force of intellect and high character lent him an influence to apouse his countrymen to drive out the invaders, and under his generalship this was accomplished. For some years Toussaint governed Haiti in the name of France, displaying extraordinary political genius comparable with that of the greatest statesmen of history. Order, peace and prosperity were restored to a land that had been blackened with ruins and stained with blood. In 1801 he did in Haiti what Napoleon had done in France—set aside a Republic. But Napoleon, unwilling to be imbued by a black, dispatched an army to arrest Toussaint, and restore slavery. The valient Haitians beat army after army, and finally, by treacherous means, Toussaint was lured into the hands of the French commander. He was sent a captive to France, and after the most inhuman treatment, by orders of Napoleon., died in a dungeon in 1808. Leaderless Haiti, however, fought for independence, and won. 25. What became of the Mausoleum of Halicarnassus? 26. What bank was awarded first place in the Third U. S. Liberty Loan drive? 27. Who was Jeanne Pierre Boyer? 28. Who was Charles Henry Turner? Miss Alice Melker, 455 St. Anthony avenue, will leave next week to attend the Imperial Grand Court, Daughters of Isis, which will convene in Indianapolis, Ind., August 7 to 9. Rev. E. H. McDonald, pastor of Mt. Morish Baptist church, Omaha, Neb., attended the Western Baptist convention and will spend a few weeks visiting friends. Mr. Charles Norton, head chef at the Madison Park cafe, Chicago, Ill., is in the city for a week and is stopping at the Hotel Howell before leaving for Michigan. How Come, Chief? When a reduction in the fire department became necessary July 15, following a deficit in the city budget twelve men were cut off the various companies. Among these twelve was E. W. Neal of Co. 9, composed of race men, Edmund and Marion streets. Chief Niles stated that when vacancies were present these men would be put back to work. Neal was the first on the list to be re-employed. Since then two deaths have occurred, which, according to Chief Niles' statement, would have resulted in two men being put back to work. As Neal was first on the roll he should have gone back to his position. Co. 9 is at present short of one man. Yet Mr. Neal has not been put back on the force as promised by Fire Chief Niles. Commissioner Sudheimer, who replaced Matson, has not given reasons why Neal was not dealt with as promised. We want to feel that our men will receive fair play at the hands of Mr. Sudheimer, but we wonder why E. W. Neal has not as yet been re-instated.

It has been suggested that we give a little treatise, at this time, on typhoid fever, but the subject is one that cannot be fully discussed in an article of this length, so we will attempt first to give the cause and mode of transmission of this disease, and later to describe the symptoms and prophylaxis or means of avoiding the malady. Typhoid fever is a general infection which means that the whole body contains the germs caused by the bacillus typhoses and characterized by fever, diarrhoea, abdominal tenderness and tympanites or gas on the bowel. The disease is especially prevalent in temperate climes and is widely distributed throughout the world. Men and women are equally susceptible, but it shows a fondness for youth, attacking young people between the ages of 15 and 35, though persons of any age may be affected. The bacillus typhosis or typhoid germ is a member of a large family of germs who have common characteristics, but who do not all cause fever. They live and grow best in the human intestines and are spread by the pollution of water, with sewerage, and for this reason typhoid fever is known as the most serious water-borne disease. It is not well to get the idea that only through drinking polluted water can you become infected, for there are many other modes of transmission, notably by the famous three "F's"—Food, Fingers and Flies. Food may be contaminated either by washing it in water, which is polluted, or being exposed to dust, which contains the germ in a dried form, or by being handled by a person whose fingers are contaminated. This brings us, naturally, to our second agent, fingers. The fingers may be contaminated in the same way as food, or a nurse or other attendant in waiting upon a typhoid patient may soil their fingers from the linen or other sick room accessories. Probably one of the best advertised and most unique forms of finger pollution is seen in the case of the "typhoid carrier." A "typhoid carrier is a person who, having had the disease, recovers but retains in his body either in the gall bladder, the liver, the spleen or the bone marrow some of the typhoid germs. These germs, while they are harmless to the carrier, whose body has overcome their poison and become immune, are not harmless to others, and as the germ is being constantly given off through the kidneys or bowels of the carrier it can be readily seen that such a person is a menace to anyone with whom he comes in contact, especially if he is concerned in the preparing or serving of food. Flies are our next agency in spreading the typhoid germ and anyone who is familiar with the habits of the house fly can readily understand that he is capable of broadcasting the germs. His mode of life, his diet and his ungentlemanly persistence in pushing in where he is not welcome make him an ideal distributing agent from the standpoint of the bacillus typhosis. These, however, are not the only means by which any of us may be infected with the germs of the dread disease, but they are the chief means. We might mention the growing of vegetables on soil fertilized with discharges containing the typhosis bacillus or to the consumption of oysters which are taken from water contaminated with sewerage, and numerous other means, but in the main if we guard our drinking water, which in the city is usually entirely safe, and avoid the danger of the three "F's," we will be reasonably safe from the attacks of B.

The resolutions adopted at a recent meeting of the ministers declare in part: "We respect the white man's traditions, customs, laws in the South in regard to the separation of the races, and for this very reason we deem it wise to support the government's policy in appointing a Negro personnel to man the Negro Veterans' hospital."

BATTERS (By the Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 3.—Last ‘Thursday in this city was something of a holiday, at least as far as the local baseball fans were concerned. The occasion was a memorial game between Rube Fdster’s American Giants of Chicagé and the C. 1. Tay- lor’s A. B. C.’s. This special game was the first of a series to be played by the Negro National league clubs, the proceeds from #ame to be turned into a national memorial fund for the erection of a national monument in memory of the late Hoosier baseball magnate, C. I. Taylor. ’ Mr. Taylor was one of the out- standing characters of Negro baseball and was known all over the country for the many valuable services he rendered the great national game. It is in appreciation of this service that Mr. Andrew Rube Foster, along with his co-league members, has set aside these special days when games will be played for this purpose by all the league clubs. The memorial game was won by the A. B.C. club, 7-1. It was a pret- ty affair from the beginning and brilliant and sensational plays marked the game throughout. In the evening a large gathering of baseball fans and the players from both clubs met at the C. I. building to pay tribute to the late C. I. Taylor Mr. A. R. Foster, president of the league, in speaking of the late C. I., said: “C. I. was a man I loved, though at times we did not agree on matters under discussion, yet we un- derstood and honored each other; Taylor did much for the game which we are identified with. Of course, we miss him, and that is why we are here this evening—to acknowledge ur regret in his demise and to ex- press our appreciation for what he did for the game during his long career. It is no mote than right that we should erect a lasting monument that the coming generations will keep his memory fresh and gain inspira- tion from the work he accomplished. It is pleasing to note, however, that his widow is ably carrying forward the work he started.”” It is planned to have the monument completed and ready to unveil at the league meeting early next year, per- haps at the same time of the league meeting, which will probably be held in Indianapolis. ‘The remainder of the league clubs will play memorial games before the close of the season. Mr. Milton Young who resides at the home of Mr .and Mrs. Horace Henderson, 615 West Central Avenue, was rushed to the West Side General Hospital Tuesday morning and under- went an operation. His condition at present is quite satisfactory. HARDING DIES FROM STROKE OF APOPLEXY (Continued from page 1) will be borne in the rear car, prob- ably the same in which he made the trip from the capitol to the Pacific coast. ‘The car will be lighted at night and at all times two soldiers and two sailors, » part of @ naval and mill- tary guard of 16 enlisted men, will stand at attention guarding the cas- ket.

Grudging admiration is being given Calhoun, even by the whites, who has been ordered back by General Hines.

The prosecuting attorney declares, however, that the bringing of these men to trial will serve as a warning to disposed lynchers in the future. MOVIE BEING MADE BY ALL-STAR RACE CAST (By Special Arrangements of the As- sociated Negro Press With the Bill board) Chas. P. McClane has been busily engaged for the past few weeks se lecting talent for a feature film that A. Wax of Philadelphia is making with a colored cast for the theaters catering to the group or for the gen- eral distributors who may care td handle a Negro society drama. Mr. Wax is heavily intrested with his junior relatives . in the Royal, Olympia and other picture houses in the Quaker City, and in an Atlantic City picture house. He feels so se- cure in his knowledge of the desires of the patrons of these and similar film theaters that he is dedicating $20,000 to the production of a fea- ture picture that will be made under the direction of Mile Millegan at Betzwood, Pa., in the old Lubin stw- dios. Work begins August 6, with Frank Welsh at the camera, McClane {s scouring the country for the seven leading parts, and states that he will fill the minor roles with Philadelphia talent. The film will be the first one of the kind ever made in that city, and the result is awaited with considerable interest. The com: plete cast’ will be published in an early issue of the Billboard. There will be no delays in the filming, as the picture is contracted for presen- tation on September 17. Convict Labor is Pro- tested to U.M.W.A. (By the Associated Negro Press Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 3.—Claim- ing that the Alabama non-union coal ‘mine owners are gouging the public pocketbook in a shameless manner, a letter has been sent the United States coal commission by the United ‘Mine Workers of America, setting ‘forth the inhuman practices used in the employment of convict labor in the coal mines of this state. Most of the conviet laborers are Negroes. “SHE WAS NO LADY,” WAS JURY VERDICT IN SUIT (By the Associated Negro Press) Evanston, Ill, Aug. 3.—Violet Richardson was denied damages against the New Evanston theater last week for refusing to sell her a seat on the main floor of the house by a jury of which Arthur Hill, a col- ored man, was the foreman. Mr. Hill declares that Miss Richardson was not refused on account of her color, but because “she failed to caf- ry herself a8 a lady.” Miss Richard- son is now threatening to bring sult for slander against the courageous Mr. Hill and the entire jury.

NORTHWESTERN BULLETIN Jazz Scored at Masical Meeting (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill, Aug. 3.—“I marvel when I consider what memorials to progress and uplift for the race and humanity might be made by the musi- cians of the Negro race if they used their talent in the production of the more ‘lasting forms of music, rather than in courting monetary influ- ences,” declared the Rev. Dr. John B. Redmond, pastor of St. Mark's M. E church, this city, in a speech, “The Redemptive Power of Sacred Music,” before the delegates gathered at the convention of the National Associa- tion of Negro Musicians. Dr. Redmond took his slap at the jazz artists with an apology, criticiz- ing them more for what they do no! do than for the music they produce. Applause broke out from all sections of the audience to greet his opinion Many of the most noted Negro art- ists, interested in the more substan- tial forms of music, were present. There were no makers of jazz pres. eat. LOCAL MEN HONORED BY REQUEST FOR SPEECH | eka ‘Mr. Owen Howell, president of the St. Paul Negro Business League and Mr. Frederick D. McCracken, Vice- President have received special re- Quests to give addresses at the Na- tional Convention of the Negro Bust- ness League at Hot Springs, August 15-17. The ability of the St. Paul men and the importance of the local body is receiving more recognition from without than within. The fact that these two men have been in. vited to address this great assembly is one worthy of note and we wonder why more, of our local men do not become members of the League in their own city and help make it stronger. * Miss Mae L.
