Captain William W. Peebles, D. R. C., has returned to Omaha after thirteen months' service overseas and two years absence from home. He arrived Wednesday morning of last week. He was attached to the 349th field artillery and after the armistice was transferred to the S. O. S. at Brest. He had a wide and varied experience abroad, which he considers invaluable. Dr. Peebles, who is a graduate of Amherst college and of the Northwestern college of dentistry, expects to resume the practice of his profession in a well equipped office here, of which due notice will be given later. Dr. Peebles spent a few days visiting his relatives and friends back east before coming home and says there are many things to attract one to residence in the east, "But confound it, there is something in this old town of Omaha, which grips a fellow and makes him mighty glad to get back here and claim it as his home." ward Washington. The district authorities dispatched troops and motorcycle police to the district line. The casualty list to date early Tuesday was placed at 5 dead, 11 dying and scores injured. New York, March 23.—A Colored woman's remarkable gift to the people of her race in the United States is reported by Dr. J. M. Gaston, chief executive of the Presbyterian board of missions for freedom. The woman, said Dr. Gaston, is a graduate of Scotia seminary, a Presbyterian school in North Carolina. Left a widow on her own resources, she courageously opened a rooming house in an Ohio city and accumulated $15,000. Of this she has set aside $5,000 for business capital and the remaining $10,000 she has presented to the Freedmen's Work of the Presbyterial Church in the U. S.

SOLDIERS CALLED OUT TO QUELL OUTBREAKS Clashes Continue Despite Arrival of Troops From Camp Meads and Patrolling of Capital by Police Forces. WASHINGTON, July 22.—Despite all precautions taken by civil and military authorities, rioting between whites and Negroes broke out again Tuesday night in Washington and a report reached the police at 10 o'clock that a white man, believed to be a home defense guard, had been shot and killed in the northwest section. Soon after the killing of the home defense guard, the police received a report that another guard also had been shot by a Negro. He was reported as fatally wounded. A detachment of cavalry and a squad of marines was rushed to the scene of the shooting, which was at Eighth and M streets, in the heart of a Negro district. Three Riot Calls Shortly after 10:30 o'clock three riot calls were sent in simultaneously from a district in the Negro section of the northwest covering an area of about three squares. A cordon of cavalry, marines and infantry, were thrown about one block, in which considerable firing had been going on. The defense guard killed later was identified as Isaac Halbfinger. He was on duty at Ninth and M streets northwest and was killed by a Negro in a speeding automobile. Crowds of whites immediately gathered in the vicinity and several shots were reported to have been exchanged with blacks. Secretary Baker went to the municipal building early in the evening and held a brief conference with district authorities, presumably relative to the placing of troops brought into the city. Troops From Camp Meade The troops from Camp Meade arrived about 8 o'clock and were stationed in various parts of the city. The troops, all of them belonging to the regular army, comprised a battalion of infantry, a battery of machine guns, and four or five truck loa dosf ammunition. With the exception of its lower portion, Pennsylvania avenue between the White House and the capitol practically was clear of crowds as darkness fell. In the portion about Seventh and Ninth streets, opposite one of the Negro districts of the southwest section, there were crowds of white civilians, but marines stationed a few yards apart kept them moving. The police reported a number of posters signed by Negro ministers urging members of their race to stay within their homes and to preserve order, had appeared about the city. The sheriff of Prince Georges county, Maryland, adjoining the District of Columbia, reported that a large crowd of Negroes had gathered across the district line and were moving to- THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS.

JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JULY 24 rict Court Evidence OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JULY 24, 1919 Man Accused of Criminally Assaulting Girl in Broad Daylight Within Few Blocks of Her Home Is Remanded to Higher Court by Judge Crawford on Meagre Evidence. YOUNG WOMAN MAKES VERY POOR WITNESS Testifies She Told Her Assailant to Go Across to the Railway Tracks and Get Away Because She Did Not Want to Have Him Round Her Any More Than Necessary. The Omaha papers of Monday night and Tuesday morning, July 7 and 8, carried under rather glaring headlines the sensational story of a Negro binding a white girl to a tree in the southern section of the city and criminally assaulting her. The alleged crime occurred about 12:30 in the afternoon in a well traveled section of the city. The victim of the attack, Miss Bessie Kroupa, aged eighteen, said that she did not know whether her assailant had carried out his purpose. The papers stated that a medical examination showed that he had. Miss Kroupa described her assailant as a small sized man of a light brown or copper color with a small mustache. Excitement was high as this was the second or third alleged attack of a Negro, of the same general description, reported within a few days of each other. In certain communities, any hapless Negro answering this description, might have been made to pay the penalty of this alleged crime. The police arrested a man, Ira Johnson by name, employed at the Burlington ice house at Gibson, "who," to quote one of the dailies "tallies" exactly with the description of Miss Kroupa's assailant, with the exception that he is black, whereas her assailant was of a light color." An unessential difference of course. Johnson, who was working nights at the ice house, was in his bunk in an old way car provided as sleeping quarters for some employees, when he was arrested Tuesday morning. The papers gave the impression that he was hiding in a freight car preparatory to leaving the city. He was taken to the home of Miss Kroupa by the officers, who looking out through the screen door cried out, "Take him away. I don't want to look at any Negro, take him away." The officers insisted that she must look at him and tell them if he was not the man. She then glanced at him, according to her testimony on the stand, and said he was the man. Johnson was locked up and precautions were taken to insure his safety. C. C. Galloway, acting for the National Association, secured counsel, who with him succeeded in interviewing Johnson. Being convinced that there was doubt as to the man's guilt provision was made for proper legal representation at the preliminary hearing which was held Friday, July 18. Frank S. Howell represented Johnson, Bryce Crawford being the trial judge. The state introduced two witnesses, Miss Kroupa and George Kyrel. The defense introduced no witnesses.

As she came west on Canton street, she noticed a Negro approaching her from an opposite direction. Her impulse was to run, but she went on and just as the man passed her he threw his arm around her neck and holding her hands he carried her about a hundred yards to where there were some small bushes and after tying her hands he threw her on the ground and assaulted her. He then walked some distance away and returned when he tied her feet. He said: "I'm going to tie your feet so you can't run away and squeal on me." "I told him to go way over to the railroad tracks and get away; because I don't want to have you around me any more than necessary." She testified that when he came back and tied her feet he sat down near her and wiped his face with his handkerchief and then wiped her face. She said she never got a good look at his face. She said he had on blue clothes and a black hat and had a small mustache. She was sure Johnson was the man. She admitted that she had an aversion for all Negroes. George Kyrel testified that he passed Johnson in the vicinity about 11 o'clock that morning and was quite sure that the prisoner was the same man. The man he saw had a brownish suit, and his face looked like he had the small pox. He said that he saw Miss Kroupa standing up with her hands tied and panting for breath and he took her home. It was upon this "evidence" that Judge Crawford held Johnson to the district court. prominent white official said to The Monitor, "it was sentiment, not evidence that is responsible for Johnson's being held. After listening to the evidence, I want to say frankly that I don't believe that Johnson is guilty. The girl made a very poor witness." LYNCHING RECORD FOR SIX MONTHS OF 1919 Tuskogee, July 23.—The department of records and research of Tuskegee, which keeps an account of lynchings in the United States, is accepted as an authority and its statistics are looked forward to with much interest. Principal R. R. Moton sends out a report of lynchings for the first six months of 1919. There were 28 lynchings—seven less than in the same period of 1918. There is some encouragement in this showing, but the number reported is appalling. The states in which lynchings occurred and the number are: Alabama, 3; Arkansas, 4; Florida, 2; Georgia, 3; Louisiana, 4; Mississippi, 7; Missouri, 1; North Carolina, 2; South Carolina, 1; Texas, 1. In most states the governors and the judiciary are co-operating earnestly to suppress mob law. Lynchings react upon good order. Every act of a mob means, not a suppression of crime, but more crime. Prompt action on the part of the sheriffs and the courts will reduce the number of lynchings to the vanishing point. ribers, n, Please! The First Commissioned California Cadet JUDGE TERRELL GREETS PRESIDENT WILSON First Man to Shake Hands With Chief Executive Upon His Return to National Capital From European Sojourn Is Distinguished Washington Jurist Member of Reception Committee. Washington, D. C., July 23.—The first man to shake hands with President Wilson Tuesday night upon his return to Washington was Judge Robert H. Terrell, of the municipal court of the District of Columbia. A citizens' committee, appointed by the non-Partisan League, was deputed to meet the president at the Union station, and Attorney Jackson H. Ralston, president of the league and a leader at the local bar, delivered the address of welcome. When the president had made his response and began handshaking with the committee, the first to whom he turned was Judge Terrell, and the cordial greetings followed. This was especially significant in view of the fact that Judge Terrell was the only Colored member of the committee. His selection by the Non-Partisan League was most fitting, as he is the ranking Colored official now in the federal service, and he invariably represents the race with dignity and distinction on occasions where our best foot must be put foremost. President Wilson well remembered the judge as the man he appointed for his fifth term on the bench of the municipal court, solely on his merits, and in the face of a terrific back-fire from members of the senate of his own political faith and order. The president has given evidence more than once of the pleasure he meels in the fact that Judge Terrell has "made good" as a jurist, and he is popular alike with the people of both races throughout the District of Columbia and the nation at large. FATE OF SOLDIERS IN PRESIDENT'S HANDS (By Associated Negro Press.) Camp Grant, Ill., July 23.—The fate of five of the fourteen Colored soldiers accused of attacking a white woman in May, 1918, now rests in the hands of President Wilson, who will review the case. There have been two trials. Eight more are now on trial and there remains another soldier, brought back from France to appear. Major James P. Hall, one of the three judge advocates in the case, has received his honorable discharge and returned to his duties as professor of law at the University of Chicago. MAYOR RECEIVES WARN- ING TO LEAVE HOBSON (By Associated Negro Press.) Anniston, Ala., July 23.—A black hand letter surmounted by a skull and cross bones, usually used to spell death in all its horrors, followed by an alleged assault against his person, by two unknown men is given as the reason for the departure for the north of Newman O'Neal, mayor of Hobson City, the exclusive Negro town near Anniston. A few weeks ago the Hobson City mayor is said to have received a warning that he would be killed unless he left these parts immediately. A short time after the receipt of the letter, the mayor claimed that he had been assaulted near his home, and announced to his friends that he intended to obey the warning in the letter. Accordingly, he gave up his position as head of the government at Hobson City and went north. Since his departure from this section no other of the officers of the town have been recipients of warnings or blackhand letters. ANXIOUS TO ENTER NATIONAL GUARD (By Associated Negro Press.) Columbia, S.

LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! 4 (Whole No. 212) Meagre ned California Cadet Lee Julian Purnell, College of Electrical Engineering, Makes Up Time Lost by Service in Army, Graduates With Class, and Receives Cadet Commission. OTHER COLLEGIANS MAKE GOOD RECORDS Many Colored Students Take Advantage of Splendid Educational Opportunities Offered Them in California Universities—Brother and Sister Receive Diplomas. (Special to The Monitor.) OAKLAND, CAL., July 23.—That many of our young people are keenly alive to the necessity of taking advantage of the splendid educational opportunities offered them in the famous colleges and universities of this state is shown by the number of recent graduates, who have made good records. The pleasing fact is that they seem to take special pride in their work and are anxious to excel. Some who have completed their arts course will return for technical and professional work in the fall. Unusual recognition has been given a student in the University of California, Lee Julian Purnell, son of Dr. Purnell, is the young man. He was a student in the college of electrical engineering, when his course was interrupted by the draft. After he was mustered out Purnell returned to the university, made up the six months he had lost and graduated with his class, receiving his degree. Besides receiving his diploma of graduation he was honored with a commission in the cadets, presented by Governor Stevens of California. He is the first and only Colored student who has ever received a commission of any rank in the university cadets. Stuart T. Davison, of the college of medicine, made a good record completing the work of four in three and a half semesters. His sister, Miss Belinda Davison, completed her course at the same time and it was with a thrill of peculiar pride that their parents and friends watched brother and sister, in cap and gown, walking side by side in the long procession of graduates. Walter Gordon of Riverside, Cal., the noted right tackle of the University of California football team and one of the greatest football players in the country, was awarded the much coveted silver loving cup as the most useful man to his team at the big rally just before the Stanford-California spring meet. He has been appointed assistant coach of the football team for the fall season. He was graduated from letters and science last fall. He returns this fall to complete his law course. These are only a few of the many who are demonstrating the fact that Colored Califonians are keenly alert to the advantages of education. There ought to be more students availing themselves of these excellent opportunities and there doubtless will be. It is, however, gratifying to note that our collegians are making good. NEW ASSIGNMENTS FOR EM- METT J. SCOTT'S ASSISTANTS Washington, D. C., July 22.—The office assistants of Dr. Emmett J. Scott, who contributed so materially to his success in the discharge of the delicate and trying duties connected with the office of special assistant to the secretary of war, have all been given new assignments, through Secretary Baker at the suggestion of Dr. Scott. As is well known, Dr. Scott has accepted the post of secretary-treasurer of Howard university and will remain in Washington. Of the office corps, Dr. William H. Davis, Dr. Scott's secretary; R. W. Thompson, who has conducted the publicity service, and James B. Smith, stenographer, have been transferred to the office of the adjutant general, war department; Charles L. Webb, stenographer, returns to the general land office, interior department; Miss Ernestine B. English, stenographer, has gone to the bureau of war risk insurance, where also will be assigned Mrs. Madeline P. Childs, file clerk upon her return from a special mission in France.

WELL FURNISHED HOMES SPECIAL PRIDE OF RACE Are Easy Victims of Jewelry and Other Sharpers—Statements by Shrewd Business Man Which Ought to Make Our People Think. GRAND RAPIDS, MICH., July 23. "It is the Negro who has made the furniture man of the south rich from his business. The whites have helped, but the tremendous business we have enjoyed recently has come in larger decree from the Colored man." It was a furniture man from Atlanta, Ga., who was doing the talking, and his talk was most interesting and enlightening. "I think I may say that the Negro of the south has made more rapid strides in recent years than the white man has. The reason is manifest. He had a longer distance to go and he is covering that distance very rapidly. He is taking advantage of the educational system and he is getting ahead in an economic way very rapidly. "You know it is characteristic of the Negro that when he has money he likes to spend it and when he does spend it he usually wants something mighty good for it. As a result you may go into the homes of Negroes in Atlanta and find the very choicest furniture in them and usually a lot of it, perhaps it is more than a white man would consider good taste. "It is very interesting to go into some of these homes. I have been in many of them and never cease to marvel at them. Many of the homes are very small and so far as the house itself is concerned, is not at all pretentious. I've been into homes of not more than three rooms and found in one a $90 range and a bed room suite that cost $300 or $400. In another room would be a mighty fine living room suite along with a $500 piano and a $200 Victrola. I have even been in the homes of single men living in one room and found it beautifully furnished with a fine Victrola. I asked one old fellow why all the furniture, since he was there only long enough to sleep, and his reply was that he sometimes had friends call and wanted his home to look nice. "The Negroes are making more money than they ever did before. Some of them own farms and raise tremendous crops on them and any kind of crop in the last few years has been worth real money. This they are putting into their homes very largely and since the advent of prohibition the money has gone into homes more than ever. "I'll just give an example of the trade we have with the Negroes. Awhile back I was credit man for a big concern doing a heavy installment buisness. We did perhaps $35,000 worth in one year and from 75 to 80 per cent of the account we had were with Negroes. Not a few of these, like a few white men, did not pay regularly, but I'll venture to say that better than 95 per cent of them came in very regularly and paid something on their accounts. Sometimes they could not meet what they had agreed to pay weekly, for the Negro will promise almost anything but they come in with something and keep it up until the furniture was paid for. Now that is a pretty good record. "The one thing the Negro has to contend with more than anything else in his guillibility. Some of your northerners come down there with all sorts of fake schemes and prey upon them. A favorite trick is to come down with a lot of fifty cent jewelry, mark it $4.98, take one dollar down and the rest in installments. Now, if they never get any more than the initial payment, they clean up 100 per cent profit. After they have been there awhile they will sell their accounts to some jeweler make, a nice cleanup and get away. This sort of thing is the bane of the Negro's life and keeps him back, but in spite of it, they are going ahead faster, I think, than the whites and it is to them that we owe the tremendous business we are having now."

DEMPSEY IS AFRAID CANNOT HOLD TITLE Refuses to Risk His Title to the World Championship by Match With Willis —Safety First—His Sparring Part- ners Before Willard Fiasco Were Colored Boxers and Jack Knows How Hard They Punched. Toledo, O., July 23.—Jack Dempsey, new heavyweight champion of the world, has announced that he will not make a match with a Negro. He, therefore, has barred Harry Wills from a fight for the big title. Dempsey's sparring partners at Toledo were Bill Tate and Jamaica Kid, both Negroes but Jack didn't defeated Willard at that time. Willard drew the color line as soon as the title was handed to him by Jack Johnson in Havana, Cuba, so that he established a precedent for Dempsey. Corbett, before he conquered John L. Sullivan, boxed sixty-one rounds to a draw with Peter Jackson, the greatest Negro heavyweight that ever came here from a foreign shore. Corbett, Fitzsimmons and Jeffries, as champions, refused to risk the title in bouts with Colored men, but Jeffries finally was forced to come out of retirement in a futile effort to regain the championship from Johnson at Reno, the latter having won it from Tommy Burns in Australia. (By Associated Negro Press.) Memphis, Tenn., July 23.—Within the next few weeks Memphis can boast of a real first class Colored city directory, the purpose of which is to present in systematic but concise form the most important facts concerning the Negro population of this city. Directories have been gotten up among the Negroes in Chicago, New Orleans, Savannah, Richmond, Atlanta, Nashville and other cities, but the Memphis Colored directory will contain several features. This directory will contain the name and address of every Colored business and professional man and woman in Memphis; recording churches, schools, philanthropic, fraternal, social and other activities among the Negro population. It will also contain criminal and vital statistics as they concern the Colored people, as well as valuable educational reports. The directory will also contain the name and address of Colored property holders. There will be a "Who's Who Among Negroes of Memphis" department, with cuts and sketches of prominent Negro citizens. There will also be a good account of the part that the Memphis Colored boys played in the recent world war. There will be pictures of the various boys who saw service in France with statistics concerning the draft. Those who are responsible for this new feature in the commercial life here are endeavoring to present the facts as to the life of the Negro to make him realize what is expected and required of him as a citizen; therefore they are sparing no pains nor expense in making this book appropriate as a souvenir and handy for reference. EDUCATION A SAFEGUARD, SAYS PRINCIPAL OF PINEY WOODS SCHOOL (By Associated Negro Press.) Des Moines, Ia., July 23.—"No Negro with a high school or college education has ever been lynched in this country or accused of the heinous crimes which are cited as excuse for lynchings," said Laurence C. Jones, a Negro graduate of the University of Iowa and principal of Pinew Woods school at Braxton, Miss., who spoke at Grace Methodist church yesterday. THE MONITOR Team Up!

School officials know that the less they do for the Negro the better they will stand with the mass of their white constituents. "Recognition extended the Negroes by white people of the south during the war against Germany has been largely withdrawn since the war ended. The paper controlled by former Senator Vardaman has attacked white candidates for office who had attended Negro gatherings from patriotic motives. "The Negro does not seek social equality with the whites. That is a bugbear of southern politicians. He does want a fair chance economically and in an educational way, and the better white people of the south would like him to have it. But the white masses still hold that the Negro's highest duty is to get off the sidewalk when he meets them. "As a group of the American people 12,000,000 strong, and loyal to the nation in its time of war, the Negroes deserve to be fairly dealt with. Mr. Jones said the Pinew Woods school, which he started eight years ago, has 1,334 acres of land and teaches a dozen or more trades to 300 Negroes who work half time.

New Haven, Conn., July 22.—Echoes are still being heard of the famous 38th annual session of the United Supreme Council of the 33d Degree of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonary of the northern jurisdiction of the United States, held recently in this city, and which met in New England for the first time in history. The members are unanimous in their opinion that the New Haven consistory No. 7 in charge of the arrangements, surpassed all other branches of the order in the hospitable entertainment extended. The session was successful from every point of view. Upon their arrival the visitors were conveyed to their stopping places in limousine cars. Sunday evening divine worship was held at Dixwell Avenue Congregational church, and Rev. Edward F. Goins, 32d degree, M. W. P. M., delivered the annual sermon. The executive session swere held in Odd Fellows hall Monday and Tuesday, with 111, J. Francis Rickards, presiding. His annual address was a model of forensic art and contained much sound advice for the good of the order. The old-fashioned Connecticut shore dinner Monday at light house point in the Tabbard Inn was a delightful affair, purely informal, with choice sea food and its accessories in luxurious abundance, followed by a "smoker" and an impromptu program. The truly social triumph of the season was the grand banquet Tuesday evening at Odd Fellows' hall. His honor, David E. Fitzgerald, mayor of New Haven, was the principal speaker and his strong and statesmanlike utterances will live long in the memory of all who were fortunate enough to hear them. He paid a glowing tribute to the president of the United States. Other speakers, responding to the traditional toasts of the Scottish Rite were III. J. Francis Rickards, III. Sumner A. Furniss, minister of state; III. Richard E. Moore, III. William F. Powell, S. P. William Porter Norson, III. William H. Miller, III. Howard D. Gould and S. P. G. Grant Williams. III. Geo. W.

STARTS. ’ DEFENSE FUND An enthusiastic meeting of the Omaha branch was held at Pleasant Green Baptist church Sunday after- noon. There was a large attendance. ‘The meeting was opened by the sing- ‘ne 'ot “America” aud prayer tr tie Rev. John Costello, pastor of the chureh. Several new members were enrolled. C, C. Galloway reported on his committee's investigation of the case of Ira Johnson, accused of as- saulting Miss Kroupa, He stated that after interviewing the accused and going to Gibson where the man was employed and interviewing his fore- man and fellow workmen he was con- vineed that Johnson should have the support of the Association in estab- lishing his innocence. He therefore employed counsel for the man. The Association indorsed his action and a defense fund was immediately sub- seribed. It was pointed out that the Association does not intend to defend or protect criminals, but in the face of the fact that there seems to be a rather general disposition to fix cer- tain crimes upon the race, it is the Association’s duty to investigate these charges and where the facts seem to warrant it to lend such assistance as may be necessary. The Rev. W. H. White of Topeka addressed the meet- ing. He stated that Senator Capper of Kansas is president of the Topeka branch and that many of the leading white citizens are members. ‘The meeting next Sunday after- noon will be held at Zion Baptist Gravch; WHITE CRIMINALS IMPERSONATE NEGROES New York, July 24—John R, Shil- lady, secretary of the National Asso- ciation for the Advancement of Col- ored People, has issued a statement charging that crimes charged to Ne- groes are frequently committed by white men who had blacked their faces. “A recen tease,” said Mr. Shillady’s statement, “is that of Luther Wilson, a white man of Lacoochee, Fla., charged with attempted criminal as- sault upon a white relative by mar- riage while she was on her way to school. Wilson, who had blacked his face, was recognized by the girl. He escaped after being arrested, and shot Deputy Sheriff B. C. Wileox of Sor- rent. “This is only one of a number of such cases reported to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People.” APPOINTED ON LABOR DAY COMMITTEE Wellsville, 0., July 28.—In making their plans for the great Labor Day celebration under the auspices of the American Federation of Labor, a com. mittee of citizens selected a commit tee of five to make arrangements, the race was honored by having one of their members appointed on this com- mittee, The young man selected is Jesse Henderson, whose former ad: dress was 418 Wicklow street, Pitts: burgh, Pa, He recently came to this city and took an active part in fight ing the battles of labor.

THE MONITOR MILLY’S TANTRUM Piper Byndicate.) She stood there before him like am avenging angel, She Ignored the ad- miration gleaming from his honest gray eyes. ‘Then catching sight of his good- natured smile, she snapped: “I—I Just hute people that never get angry—Just smile, smile.” ‘That remark deepened the smile on Nell Burnson’s cheery face. | “But Milly, if you knew how exas- peratingly pretty you look in one of your, h’m!—tantrums. If you keep on—" “Tantrums! it’s honest to goodness disgust and indifference to any flattery | you give me.” |” “As I was saying,” resumed the im- ‘perturbable youth, “If you don’t stop ‘looking so aggravatingly charming, "why, I shall be compelled to take you in my arms.” | “That's just what I'm trying to make |clear to you. You have done that for ‘the last time! Here, there's no use to | prolong the scene.” | Milly stepped nearer, and snatching |the ring from her finger, she crushed "It down into his hand. Her companion’s eyes clouded a it- (tle as he answered: “I say, Milly, aren't you carrying [your little farce too far! It’s only « |trivial thing and you know it, “Farce, indeed! Nell Burnson. ‘There’s another thing. You needn't or- der those flowers for me; I'll telephone myself.” Then the fellow “that never got mad” said hastily : “See here, young lady, the next time Lorder any flowers for you, you'll wear them. And when you want that rin, you'll ask for it. Good-by.” | And Nell was off, He didn’t see the Kirl’s face pale, he was too angry to eaten sight of her outstretched arms. Why Milly Clayton should drop into a chair and Burst into tears when she had accomplished the thing she de- sired, was a mystery. Half an hour later Milly called up | the florist and made him promise an early delivery, She must have them | early. | A pleture the girl made in her shim- | mering party dress of pale green.

And I've patronized that florist for so long a time, I'll just leave him,” she pouted. She looked down at her girdle where the flowers ought to be resting. ‘Then her glance traveled to her left hand. | “How queer St seems with n—no |r—ring, But a girl can't wear every- ey she argued inwardly. “Oh, it seems so—so lonesome—my ring and— him gone.” She looked in her mirror and began to study the radiant reflection in it. “Perhaps I was too quick, and child- Ish—per-haps—I—was,” she drawled. “If Fm old enough to be a soclety woman, I'm old enough to have a little patience with Neil, He's such a boy! Besides, I do miss my ring and him.” ‘A loud peal at the doorbell startled her. “There's the fhowers. I'll go myself.” She tripped down the stairs, and turned to open the door, and there stoood Nell with a box of flowers. | Be girl's face lighted unconsctously ‘The young man’s heart beat faster. “Why—y, Nell Burnson, didn't I tell you not to—engage—" Neil threw out his hand, “When a young lady, one’s own flancee,"—Milly's head lifted deflantly —“orders me on the telephone to bring her flowers early, I obey.” He ended with low bow. “But I telephoned to the florist,” ex- plained Milly. “You thought you did, dear girl; but your numbers got mixed, So here I am ready to escort you to the party,” and the shameless fellow calmly led the way to the living room. MMly went over to the window, and, with her emotions in a tumult, stood looking down the street. Her companion produced from his pocket a little figure of a Cupid, whieh he placed on top of the telephone cov: ering. ‘The girl with troubled eyes stl gazed streetward. Neil next took the ring and hung tt on the tip of Cupid’s arrow. Then he called : “Come Milly, look at your lovely flowers.

Perhaps it is just as safe to say, much good may be lost by waiting. Some weeks ago, we were told that the American Federation of Labor has made it possible for the | Colored laborer of America to become organized under the rules and regula- tions of the Gompers organization. ‘The Negro is to be taken in is the re- port. We hope it is true to the let- ter. And if we are to be taken in, now is the time to begin knocking for en- trance. The recent reports from the immigration commission show that the United States has become an emi- grating instead of an immigrating country. Foreigners are leaving the country at a tremendous rate. As soon as the armistice was signed, for- eigners began to leave this country at the rate of about 15,000 per month. At this same rate about 180,000 would leave our shores in a year. Whether they will remain away is another ques- tion. Most of them took out of this country quite a little money, enough at least to guarantee them a life of ease once they got settled in their ancient homes. But even this may prove erroneous, How much is the purchasing power of a dollar at their respective homes is a question yet to be settled. Our sown country has proven that within the past twenty- four months. Then, too, foreign coun- |tries may prevent any further emi- jerting until the economic conditions are settled and the country restored to normal. In either event, we shall not see much of the present emigrant for quite a number of vears. We must depend upon home labor. The Negro is typically American. He is more so than Gompers and his American Federation of Labor. Our labor was American labor before the Gompers organization was conceived. We are to the manor born. The time to enter the American Federation of Labor is now when labor is scarce. We ought to enter now before there arises too many labor and capital disputes of wage adjust- ments to suit the present high cost of living. We ought to enter now when the adjustment is being made so as to avoid any future disputes as to classification. If we are to be- come a part of the organization, we ought to enter now while labor and capital are discussing the immediate future, Already a committee has been selected to see the president in behalf of capital and labor. We ought to enter the Federation if we propose to enter, before there are any set and |fixed rules with which we are not |familiar. We may wait too late and | then enter to find ourselves classified without our knowledge and consent. [It will be too late to register a kick after becoming a part of the organi- zation. Enter now, and enter with the de- | termination to become the best ond | most profitable unit known to Ameri- \can labor.—The Pittsburg Courier. IN NEW UMBRELLA HANDLES Bakelite Is Latest Material, Finished With Loop of Same Material or of Leather. To be quite in accord with the pre valling mode, one should see that the new umbrella boasts of a bakelite handle, finishing with a loop of the same material, or of leather, which will help one to retain this accessory in her possession for a reasonable length of time. ‘The new substance comes in a variety of colors and can be obtained both transparent and opaque, to suit the individual taste, ‘The white bakelite closely resembles ivory or a. very fine celluloid; when yellow, it is clear like amber, and in delicate green it is slightly figured and almost like jade. ‘The round han- dle ix movable to sult the conventence of the person carrying it, and the leather loops are attached at the low- er part of the straight handle.

Webster 2095. 5 Kiddies’ Korner DO YOU BELIEVE IN SIGNS? A carelessly written, _ misspelled letter is a sign that you will not get the job you are applying fo A caved-in chest and bowed shoul- ders are a sign that you will have a dangerous illness. It may not come for a few years, but it’s coming. If you give up without trying again after a failure, it is a sign that you will always occupy a lower rung on the ladder that leads to the world’s treasure house. If you find yourself cheating in a game of work or lessons, it is a sign that promotions will be few and far between for you. If you lose your temper before breakfast it is a sign that you will have an unpleasant day. To smile and speak softly when you are angry is a sign you will be a leader of men. If you ask three favors of a friend before offering even one, it is a sign you are going to lose your friend. To borrow money to spend on ple-as ure or indulgence is a sign that your mind is weak. If you can make three people smile before breakfast on a rainy morning, it is a sign that great good fortune is awaiting you. If your money doesn’t last from one payday to another, it is a sign that you will be poor all your life. To betray a confidence given you is a sign that shame is coming to you. If you wear a scowl or gloomy look four days out of each seven, it is a sign you will have few friends. ‘To do a favor for a stranger or some ‘one who cannot repay you is a sign that you will be happy for the next twenty-four hours. To tell one lie is a sign you will suffer from an uneasy conscience; to tell two is a sign of bad memory; to tell three is a sign that disgrace is on its way to you. To own up to your fault and take the blame for any trouble it may have caused is a sign that you will not re- peat that offense. It is a sure sign of so-called good luck if you keep at a difficult problem or task until you have mastered it, To be suspicious of people's motives ‘or good intentions is a sign that you will be frequently cheated. It is a sign of long life to be able to control your appetite. To rejoice in another's good fortune is a sign that you will have many friends. To show respect to your elders is a sign that you will be a social success. To think twice each time before you speak is a sign that you will be ad- vanced to a porition of trust. To be magnanimous to an enemy when you have a chance to even up old scores is a sign that you will be a great man. These three things are sign of so- called good luck that will follow through life: To tell the truth when it is difficult, to keep cheerful amid discouragement, to keep clean in evil surroundings—Selected. HOLDING BONDS IS THRIFT. Selling Liberty Issues for Less Than They Are Worth is the Height of Folly. ‘Two things are true when a Liberty Bond changes hands for less than the highest market price. Oge person ts selling something for less than its value; another person is lucky in strik ing a bargain; one is a chump, we other is fortunate. You may argue the one is forced te sell. Possibly true, but his banker will Jend him nearly the amount of bio in ‘vested capital on his bond, or will show him a way to get the highest possible value, ‘The record of tlie sale and purchase of Liberty Bonds shows one thing plainly, that virtually all the Liberty Bonds that are sold are finding their ‘way into the hands of thrifty persons who realize that the bonds are selling for less than their real value. These purchasers will hold the bonds until ‘maturity when they will be at par, and undoubtedly at considerably above par in narly every case. If there is a more decided example of thrift than this, the Treasury Depart ment at Washington would like t ‘know of it, Velle Add Daintiness. The woman who is trim from top to toe never forgets that a veil is the last touch in daintiness for any outdoor costume. ‘This year she is wearing ‘one of the big-meshed yells that seem to be the fad; but just because veil meshes are so big fashion has whim: sleally introduced tiny meshed pat terns that are senttered over the veil an effect of contrast. 6 ee . ee eo SY AOE ae ae Be 78 sr " y . REVISED HAND GRENADE RULES Banks to Serve Children With Little Savings Banks. , John T, Wayland, Director of Sav- Ings for the Tenth Federal Reserve District, has issued the following state- ment 1—At the urgent request of the Treasury Department and in order to simplify distribution, the hand gren adé savings banks will be distributed by commercial banks and trust com: punies instead of through County ‘Chairmen and County Superintendents as previously outlined, 2—One grenade is to be loaned by any bank to any child under 18 years old who will sign a thrift agreement similar to the accompanying form. 3—The grenade shown here {s to be used as a savings bank for money earned during vacation, aud may be brought periodically to the bank that insues it, where it will be opened, the money counted, and Thrift or War Savings Stamps given in return for the contents 4—The grenade in to beéoine the permanent property of the child only after he has been regularly enrolled as a member of a savings society and has bought at least one War Saving: Stamp, face value $5.00, at the bank issuing the grenade, Child must bus One War Savings Stamp if under ter years old, and Two if ten years ot older. 5—The bank is to fill out and give the child (if a school child) a certifi cate of his summer savings in, order that he may present same to his teach er and get credit therefor in the Wat Savings Society now or hereafter organized in his grade 6—While it is optional with the banker, it is suggested that he re quest contestant to write a letter o1 essay on how the grenade bank was won. A few of these letters might furnish the thrift impulse to many other children of the county The following is the forr of the ‘Thrift Agreement to be signed by the pupil giving his or her age, grade, School and prostoffice address THRIFT AGREEMENT I accept this Hand Grenade Savings Bank, loaned by the (Name of Bank) with the understanding that I will earn money during vacation, keeping all the money that I can save in the grenade, I will bring it to the bank to be opened from time to time before school opens, and will invest my savings in Thrift and War Savings Stamps. I under stand that when I have saved enough to purchase...........War Savings Stamp...., and have been regularly enrolled as a member of a Savings So ciety, the hand grenade becomes my personal property, Otherwise it still remains the property of the bank. If 1 do not earn the grenade by October 1, 1919, 1 will return It to the Bank. TRIMMING FOR GIRLS’ FRGCKS Crochet Buttons and Loops Among the Embellishments Added to Youth- ful Clothes. All manner of dainty trimmings are ased on frocks for the small girl. For instance, a charming model of white batiste had a narrow plaited frill of flesh-tinted organdie edging the nar- row turn-down collar and turn-back euffs. The short bodice was made with box plait effect at the front, each side being edged with a frill. Pale pink crochet buttons and loops added a further touch of embellishment. Many play frocks take on the lines of a slip-on, the gown fastening he- ing at the side or both sides or at the front at the upper part. A smart little frock was made of plain and flowered material. The lower part of plain material was set on to the upper part, the joining line being cut In tab form, each tab ornamented by three pearl buttons and cord loops. ‘The heck was square and the fastening was at either side of the blouse front —the closing being effected by but. tons and loops. ‘The upper part of the frock waa of the ploin material. ‘HE MONITOR THE CORRECT WAY TO SLEEP @oft Beds Make Flably 8kin, and Large Pillows Injure Health land Appearance. No matter how comfortable a soft bed and large, soft pillows may be they are not healthful, and women especially would do well to avoid them, for they assist materially In in juring their physical appearance States a writer In the Philadelphis Inquirer. When the body sinks down In a soft bed a considerable portion of the skin is robbed of Its proper ventilation and the circulation is in terfered with. It also helps to make the muscles flabby. A hard bed will make the flesh firmer, and the form must, therefore, appear somewhet better as a result The large pillows are not good to sleep on because the head is too high when it rests on them, and this prevents that deep, regular breathing which gives good lungs and in consequence a better appearance to the bust and shoulders. One ought always to sleep on the left side, and preferably with the arms at the back. This may be a little awk- ward at first, but as soon as one be comes accustomed to it she will find It not only the mest restful ond easy but the position in which sleep is mare easily Induced. The pillow ought to of course, be small and the bed hard or at least firm. The body is then in the correct position for gleeping and for helping the physical appearanve of the person while at rest. The arms at the back throw the chest forward, make the shoulders broader and the back straighter, se that material assistance toward good carriage is thus obtaine@. When one lies on the back, even though the pillow is small, it has a tendency te crook the shoulders, and many cases of stooped shoulders have probably originated in that way. FRINGE FOR THE BED SPREAD Decoration That Is Pleasing and At tractive May Easily Be Made by Nimble Fingers. Some of the loveliest of the new spreads for the bed are of unbleached muslin with inserts of handmade lace or a touch of hand embroidery Ir large bold patterns, knots, cross stitel and the like. One may finish off these spreads with a wide hem, « blanket stitched or buttonholed edge and best of all with s handmade, crocheted fringe. Now this may sound ambi tious, the making of enough fringe te go around the whole spread except the top, of course, and the bottom i It is to be tucked into a wooden foot board, but the fringe is simple. Stari with a favorite crocheted edge that leaves an Irregular edge of points scallops or open squares, After you! whole edge is crocheted, all you have to do Is to tle into every point, or inte three or five points in a group a? many strands of thread according t the size and thickness of tassel you want. If there is filet luce In you! spread, you will want a filet heading for your fringe. If the embroidery is dainty, make your heading a serie! of lighter plcoted interwoven loops You can find patterns and directions for such a heading in any crochet book, and all you will have to do is to knot your strands of fringe into the most prominent loops or points.

AN INDICATION OF THRIFT. One Concern Advances 25 Per Cent. More if Repainting Is Done Every Five Years. Does It pay to paint carefully farm buildings? Does tt add to the selling value of a farm when buildings are properly kept up and regularly paint: ed? A careful Inquiry of u number of loading hankers in the Mississippl vale ley, including such states as Towa, Tt nois, Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Mix: sourl, reveals the fact that in nearly every case the bunkers did not hesl: tate to say that they would Jend all the way from 5 to SO per cent. more on land where farm buildings were well painted and kept in good condition They maintain that well kept-up and well painted buildings and fences are an indication of thrift and that the thrifty farmer Is a good client, and to him money ean be safely loaned. An average of the returns from these Junkers shows that the increased loan value because of painted buildings Is sround 22 per cent Some of these bankers make Inter- esting comment, A Michigan concern says that, while not especially pre- pared to advise definitely In response fo this inquiry, the officers would loan more money on farms where buildings were painted than whore they were hot so treated. ‘This bank also finds that where houses, barns and fences are well taken care of the farm Is a profitable proposition, and bankers in xeneral consider the farmer a good client. Another Michigan bank says “farm buildings out of repair and needing paint indicate that the owner is slow pay.” Such farms are rated at about one-third of the assessed value for loans, Where the farm buildings are in good shape the rating is one- half, ‘The president of a middle west- ern bank says that when real estate loans are considered, paintec buildings ure always taken Into comsideration in making an estimate, ‘The general ap- pearance of the property surrounding the house and barn and also the fields and fences would be carefully observ- ed. He further says that he has no hesitancy in suying that he would ab- solutely refuse @ loan on farms where the buildings were not kept up and well painted. In bis Judgment, un- painted farm buildings would reduce the loan value at least 25 per cent, A Minnesota banker says that he Is much more willing to loan money where the buildings are well painted. In his particular case he believes that he would loan 20 per cent. more than If the bulldings were not properly taken care of. A farmer who will keop his buildings puinted takes a tmuch deeper interest .n his work than one who dues not, Another Minne- sora bank says that well painted build ings have resulted in securing from. his hank sometimes as high as 25 per cent, more money than where the buildings are not painted, An Ohio concern says that it will loan 25 per “ent, more money on a well kept farm where buildings are painted at least once every five years, A southern Iill- noix bank says that it has no fixed rule about this, but It does make a de- cided differenee when owners of farm lands apply for loans. If the buildings are well painted and thus well pre- served the loan rate would not only be cheaper, but the amount of money borrowed would be larger. A northern Illinois bank does not hesitate to say that it would loan fully 50 per cent. more on a farm where buildings were well painted and In good order than where they were not, The vice presi- dent, who answers the inquiry, goes ‘on to say: “There probably are many farmers good fixincially and morally who permit their buildings to remain unpainted, but as a rule the most sub- stantial people who live In the coun- try keep their buildings well painted.” ‘An Iowa bank, through its vice pres Ident, states that it would make a dit- ference of at least 25 per cent. In fa- vor of the farm with painted bulld- ings. Another Towa concern says that it would make a difference of at least 20 per cent. All this being true, It Is perfectly evident that it Is a good business prop- osition to keep the farm buildings well painted, They not only look better ‘and are more pleasing to the owner, ‘but the farm would sell to better ad- vantage, the loan value of the property would be greatly Increased and the buildings themselves would last much longer and need less repair—The ‘Meeasican Aaricuituriat.

By STEPHEN DOUGHTON. THE ex-kaiser has a somewhat marvelous ex-palace, known as Stolzenfelts, with quite wonderful floors—really quite the last word in wooden floors; so fine, indeed, that a very considerable part of a very considerate army of invasion views them with some degree of awe as it glides over them not in the hob-nailed shoes of the army but in very soft felt slippers that slip on over the army boots. That's how careful the Yankee boys are of the ex-kaiser's ex-property on the Rhine just a few minutes walk south from Coblenz. Hinman, a who shows castle chap a gold grot Christ, the the Last D rather outs showing a her generative op of Trier Careful Then the ridor that particularly three diffie The guide of felt slip on army Stoizenefels is part of the scenery which is included in any tourist's first-class trip up or down the Rhine. It sits high on a cliff with an approach so steep that even the man who braces eternally about the hills he "takes on high" would have to admit it's quite a grind "in low." Parties formed under a Y. M. C. A. guide leave the "Y" headquarters, Fest hall, Coblenz, every day at 1:15 to make this trip. As there are 2,000 soldiers in Coblenz every day on leave and 13,000 stationed in and about the town, many men are always available and anxious to take the trip. Old Keeper Is Amusing. The old keeper amuses the boys. He clucks about like an old hen, afraid the invaders, in the vernacular of the army, will salvage a few souvenirs. To those who speak a little German he tells how he has been on the exkaiser's pay roll for some forty years, always keeping the house spic and span against the day when Bill might drop in—only he doesn't call him Bill. These tritts are conducted by H. B. ```markdown ``` THE CASTLE Doughboys Entering the Palace. MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS People of the Faroe Islands Cannot Truthfully Be Accused of Undue Curiosity. The Faroe islands are a bleak and rain-swept group lying on the steamer route between Norway and Iceland. They are recommended to the traveler who would escape the prying eye of curiosity and the stare of the crowd. A man with a great secret in his life could emigrate to the Faroes, secure in the consciousness that he might live there for 20 years and his neighbors would probably never even wonder why he came. Every visitor to the little archipelago notices this characteristic attitude of mild indifference on the part of the natives, so different from the usual frank curiosity shown by isolated peoples in strangers from foreign lands. The islanders are kindly enough, but they do not go out of their way to show it. They are completely immersed in their own humdrum concerns of fishing and farming; and they would hardly look up from their plowing to watch an airplane fly over. It is said that when their ruling sovereign came over on a state Himman, a "Y" man of Everett, Wash., who shows the soldiers through the castle chapel, pointing out frescoes on a gold ground by Deger, the Life of Christ, the Creation, the Fall of Man, the Last Day, and in another room a rather outstanding fresco by Lasinsky, showing a Mr. Hohenzollern of an older generation paying a visit to the bishop of Trier. Careful of the Fine Floors. Then the boys pass on into the corridor that leads to the rooms with the particularly choice floors inlaid with three different kinds of hardwood. The guide slips his feet into a pair of felt slippers, large enough to cover an army shoe. The boys take it sort of for granted and do likewise and soon they are gliding, like a Chimman on a slippery pavement, across the smooth floors. "Pretty soft for the old kaiser," remarks a doughboy, "to have the army come up here and polish his floors for him" and so it is. The soldiers take in all the natural appurtenances of a well-regulated castle with great interest. They view old pieces of armor, costly and elaborate wood carvings, good paintings, the kaiser's own personal dining room, the rich drinking vessels and tankards. They are making the best of their stay in the vicinity of Germany's favorite little river, the Rhine, and are storing up "beaucoup knowledge," against the day when curious ones at home shall be asking them about all the sights overseas. The trip is part of the joint efforts of the army and the "Y" to entertain soldiers on leave, for Coblenz, in addition to being Third army headquarters, is also leave center. [Image of a medieval castle with a large archway and stone walls, surrounded by a moat and a bridge with pedestrians.] visit to the islands it was necessary to go out among the people and urge them to crowd in the capital city and stage something resembling an enthusiastic welcome. At that most of them got bored and went home before the celebration was half over. Old-Time Ceremonies In olden times the festival of Easter was celebrated with many ceremonies and sports. Then, as now, colored eggs were given. In some places the children rolled them down hillsides. In a royal roll of the time of Edward I preserved in the Tower, appears an entry of 18 pence for 400 eggs to be used for Easter gifts. Town authorities engaged with due dignity in games of ball. It is recorded also that on Easter Monday the women had a right to strike their husbands and on Tuesday the men struck their wives, as in December the servants scolded their masters. From a German authority it is learned that in the Neumark on Easter day the men servants whip the maid servants with switches and on Monday the maids whip the men. In some parts of Germany parents and children try to surprise each other in bed on Easter morning to apply the health-giving switches. --- THE MONITOR The KITCHEN CABINET It is better to say, "This one thing I do." than to say, "These forty things I dabble in."-Washington Gladden.
