Chicago Harvests Race Hatred Propaganda $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy Monroe Trotter Outwits Government Boston Editor, Delegate to Equal Rights League, Denied Passports to Peace Conference and Pan-African Congress, Finds a Way. EMPLOYED AS COOK ON CUNARD LINER Distinguished Harvard Graduate and Man of Letters Works in New York Lunch Room to Qualify as Cook in Order to Go to Paris and Plead for Race. (Special to The Monitor.) BOSTON, Mass., July 31.—The secret of how William Monroe Trotter, fearless editor of the Boston Guardian, got to Paris in spite of the opposition of the state department at Washington, has just been made public. It will be recalled that the Equal Rights League and Race Congress chose delegates to attend the Pan-African congress to be held in Paris in December or January and if possible to secure an audience with delegates to the peace conference for the purpose of inserting an equal rights provision in the world covenant. The state department refused to grant passports to any of the delegates chosen, stating that France was opposed to the holding of a Pan-African congress. This statement was subsequently proven to be absolutely erroneous. France willingly gave her consent despite opposition not from France, but from the United States and in spite of this opposition. The congress was held in January, but only a few colored Americans were able to be present because of the denial of passports. The state department, however, readily granted passports to Irish-American delegates who desired to present Ireland's claims before the peace conference. This was clearly an interference in England's domestic policy. This action is here cited to show how inconsistent the state department was in refusing passports to Colored Americans, while granting them to Irish Americans. William Monroe Trotter did not get to attend the Pan-African congress, but he did get a chance to do effective lobbying among delegates to the peace conference, and put them in possession of facts touching the treatment of the race in the United States by the loud-voiced propagandists of democracy for the world. One day Mr. Trotter dropped out of Boston life. No one knew where he had gone. His whereabouts caused anxiety. A few intimate friends smiled and said that the public need not worry about Trotter, he was perfectly able to take care of himself. Some months passed and cables brought back the news: "William Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, is in Paris." The race papers, recalling his interview with President Wilson a few weeks ago, whom he had ardently supported during his first campaign and presumed to question his segration policy and non-fulfillment of pre-election promises, facetiously remarked, "Trotter is in Paris; Wilson is also there." The question was, "How did Trotter get to Paris?" This question has just been answered by Professor Allen W. Whaley, national organizer for the Equal Rights league, who has recently opened an office at 2952 Fifth avenue for the purpose of expanding the work of the organization. Professor Whaley has been for several years an intimate associate of Mr. Trotter and spoke with authority. He labeled Trotter as a man of deeds and told of the self-sacrificing spirit he displayed in fighting for his race. Concerning Mr. Trotter, he said: Elected Delegate. "Trotter was selected to represent the league at the peace conference in Washington last December. When he sought to leave this country he and his party were refused passports by the state department on the ground that the French were opposed to the holding of the Pan-African congress in Paris. While the delegates were chosen to represent our people at this conference they were primarily interested in the inscribing of an equal rights article into the world covenant. Trotter was determined to make his THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS. THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor plea to the big four, passport or none. Cooked in Lunchroom. "He came to New York city and lived at 237 West 37th street. Trotter forgot he was a Harvard graduate, a member of the Phi Beta Kappa, and took up cooking in a lunchroom. He worked in some of the very cheap places at first, but finally worked his way to some of the larger establishments. There was a shortage of cooks on a trans-Atlantic liner. Trotter finally saw his chance and enrolled on one of them. As soon as he reached France he gave up cooking and went into diplomacy and international politics. He was received by the Japanese delegation and received courteous replies to his early correspondence with Clemenceau and Lloyd George." Mr. Trotter was the guest of honor at a banquet tendered by admiring friends in the A. M. E. Zion church, New York city, Tuesday evening, July 22. Many citizens of note, including men and women, were present to do honor to the champion of the Equal Rights League. There were several fervent speeches made lauding the courage of Mr. Trotter, who in response briefly referred to his efforts to get to France and promising to give details subsequently of his trip and experiences.

OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JULY 31, 1919 Windy City in Grip of Race War Windy City in Grip of Race War Twenty-Seven Reported Killed, Hundreds Wounded as Blacks and Whites Clash—Whites Attack Provident Hospital Throwing Patients Into Serious Condition—Trouble Starts When August Strauber (White) Threw Stone Knocking Colored Lad Into Lake Michigan, Who Drowns Before Rescued—White Policeman Refused to Make Arrest—Outbreak Follows. CHICAGO, Ill., July 30.—Emanating from the Bourbon south, the home of mob rule and lynch law and the mother of the Klu Klux Klan there has come in the last few months a distinct propaganda which has as its design the inciting of race animosity, discrediting the Negro soldiers and bringing the record of the fairer north and west down to the level of its own. A deliberate, organized attempt has been made and is still being made, to inflame the passions of men and incite to deeds of violence. The nation's capital has disgraced herself and now America's greatest cosmopolitan city follows as the next city to reap the results of this propaganda. Sunday afternoon, July 27, was a sweltering hot day. Thousands of Chicoagans were seeking relief in the cool waters of Lake Michigan when a white hoodlum seeing a Colored lad paddling out into the lake picked up a large stone and hurled it at the youth. It knocked him into the water and he drowned before assistance could reach him. Onlookers immediately called the attention of a white police officer to this fact and asked that the thrower of the stone, Augusta Strauber, be arrested. This the officer refused to do. His refusal angered the crowd, and they immediately began to clean up the beach, hurrying to their homes they returned with weapons of all sorts. A mellee followed, at the end of which hundreds of whites lay wounded. Meanwhile Strauber was arrested by two Colored detectives, Middleton and Scott. News of the Outbreak Spreads All Every section of the city heard the news; it spread like wildfire. All up State street on nearly every corner thousands gathered in tense groups and talked in low tones over the situation. Sunday night and Monday morning early there were nearly two dozen different fights in which over two hundred people were injured, the majority of whom were white, scores of police officers when they showed a tendency to administer justice too filled with prejudice payed the penalty of their zeal. Hundreds of police reserves and four hundred mounted policemen were called out Sunday to quell the riot. They rendered most effective service and were most successful in putting down disorder when they showed no discrimination, but set themselves to the task of riding down, shooting into and arresting white offenders as well as Colored. Chief of Police Garriety, Alcock, his assistant, Mayor Thompson and leading organizations of both races are working zealously to restore the peace, while 4,000 soldiers of both races are held in reserve in the armories. The officials are confident they can handle the situation without military assistance. The governor, who was en route to Nebraska, turned back at Burlington and hastened toward Chicago. The police list of riot fatalities rose to 25 at 10:30 p. m., when Thomas Joshua, Negro, was killed by a detective, who fired into a crowd of rioters on the South Side, and when B. F. Hardy, a Negro died at a hospital. List of Killed Tuesday's Report. ATENBER, ALEX (Negro.) BAKER, HENRY (Negro.) CAPPEL, EUGENT (white.) CRAWFORD, JAMES (Negro.) DILLON, AUGUST (Negro.)

Two unidentified white men. Two unidentified Negroes. Rioting spread outside the South Side Colored district today. There was serious fighting and shooting in the loop early in the forenoon. The exclusive North Side residential district received a touch of disorder. Killings continued after daybreak bringing the number of dead in police reports up to 25 by mid-forenoon, and hundreds were injured. The police had under investigation three other reported killings. Strike Aids Rioters. The street car strike seemed to aid the spread of race rioting, which surging up from the South Side into the loop on the heels of thousands walking to work who ordinarily ride. Streets ordinarily almost deserted early in the day were busy with pedestrians, mostly men and boys, whose numbers afforded rich opportunities for racial quarrels. Several battalions of state troops were under arms in the armories or parks awaiting possible call by the city. Meanwhile the entire police force was dealing with the riots. Four thousand soldiers with full war equipment stood ready today to quell the rioting between Negroes and whites that during two nights of terror in the south side black belt cost the lives of at least 21 men, including one Negro policeman, and the injury of hundreds of others, many seriously and probably a dozen fatally. Four of the injured ae soldiers. The police and the coroner have been unable to make a complete check of the casualties, but reports last night sshowed 21 killed. Of these 13 were white. 100,000 Negroes Involved. A hundred thousand Negroes and an equal number of whites either foight in the streets and alleys or cowered in their homes while shots rang out. Moonted policemen galloped along the boulevards, patrol wagons dashed through the streets with prisoners and wounded, and women and children screamed as men fought with cudgels, knives and fists. When the rioting, which started Sunday night with the stoning and drowning of a Negro who had drifted on a raft into the water of a beach used by whites, broke out afresh last night, Mayor Thompson asked Governor Lowden for troops. The governor, who was on his way to Lincoln, Neb., turned back at Burlington, Ia., and Acting Governor Oglesby gave Adjutant General Dickson orders to mobilize necessary soldiers. By midnight four regiments were in armories on the South Side, but by that time the police had cleared the streets and had begun collecting the dead and injured and rounding up looters. White's Resentment Caused Riots. Back of the immediate cause of the rioting is the resentment the whites long had felt at the rapid influx of Negroes, who have spread over a large territory formerly constituting a fine residential quarter of the South Side. Property had decreased in value and whites had emigrated to other parts of the city by thousands, but many others had clung to their homes while the streets and one of the large parks became thronged with Negroes. Both parties to the contest, enraged by stories of the cruelties of the other during Sunday night's melee, deliberately armed themselves last night and went out to stalk their prey. As soon as darkness fell, the fighting in various forms became fierce. In some cases, Negroes in automobiles dashed through the streets, firing at any bevy of whites encountered. In other cases, Caucasians, attacked the buildings occupied by Ethiopians, shooting through windows and doors, while the inmates fired back from barricades. Bands of both races marched through the streets and, meeting, fought battles that (Continued on Page 2.) WHAT EUROPE THINKS OF THE WASHINGTON RIOT (By Associated Negro Press.) The following special from Paris by John De Gandt, United News staff correspondent, has unusual significance at this time: The American Negro encountered no color line in France. Returned to the United States he is determined never again to submit to race segregation in either society, business or politics. Two leading French newspapers—Premier Clemenceau's L'Homme Libre and L'Avenir—in their editorial columns thus diagnosed the trouble which led to the sanguinary race riots in Washington. The Washington riots do not represent a sporadic outbreak in the belief of L'Homme Libre. They are the "feelers" to test the strength and determination of whites and blacks and a possible forerunner to more widespread revolt, the paper believes. "The attitude of the Negro movement in America," said L'Homme Libre, "leaves it supposable that a general Negro upheaval may develop. L'Avenir reviews the problem at some length, saving: "The American prejudice against color is well known. There are special hotels and restaurants for Negroes, and in trains special cars and compartments are set apart for them. They are not encouraged to enter cafes, restaurants or theaters frequented by whites except as servants. "Until now the Negro population of the United States has accepted this condition. But war has developed in them the spirit of revolt. This is why: American Negroes came to France in thousands and mixed in our public and national life like any one else, entering cafes, where their business was solicited, and eating at whatever restaurants they pleased." ABUSED THE FRENCH NEGROES Chamber of Deputies Discussed the Acts of Yank M. P.'s. (Special to The Monitor). Paris, July 30.—The government was interpellated in the chamber of deputies yesterday afternoon on the rough treatment French Negro soldiers are alleged to have received from the American military police in French ports. The questions were asked by M. Boisneuf and M. Lagrosiilliere, Negro deputies, from Guadeloupe and Martinique, respectively. Jules Pams, minister o fthe interior, replying to the Negro deputies, said the government had applied penalties and asked them not to insist upon a discussion of "the very regrettable incidents, as France does not forget the services rendered by her Negro sons." The minister of the interior added that the American governmt had not hesitated to express regrets. WHITE ELEVATOR MEN REFUSE TO WORK WITH A NEGRO (Special to The Monitor.) Washington, July 30.—A score of white elevator men employed in the Senate Office building served notice July 26 they would strike on the following Monday unless a Negro recently made an elevator conductor was discharged. The Negro appointed under the patronage of Senator Edge, republican, New Jersey, was said to be the first to have a similar place since elevators come into use on the senate side of the capitol. SHOWING OF "BIRTH OF NATION" PROHIBITED The chief of police of this city prohibited the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" photoplay, which was scheduled to appear at the Majestic theater on the South Side. For many years the leaders of our race have been trying to convince the authorities that those things which tend to stimulate race animosity should not be countenanced. It shows a step in the right direction when the authorities take prompt action in matters of this kind. NEGRO WOMAN DIES AT 115 Olathe, Kas., July 30.—Susan Thompson, a Negro woman known as "Aunty Black," who died Friday at the county home, was said to be nearly 115 years old. She came to Johnson county sixty years ago and had been in the home since 1879. LIFTING. NT, TOO! State Historical Society Vol. V. No. 5 (Whole No. 213) Jewish Migration to the Homeland Impatient Thousands of Jews Said to Be Awaiting Decision League of Nations Fixing Political Status of Palestine, to Which They Are Eager to Return. THOUSANDS PREPARING FOR GREATER EXODUS Technically Trained Men Expect to Migrate in Large Numbers—England and United States Counted Upon to Make Heavy Contributions of Man-Power for Resettlement of Palestine. NEW YORK.—Everywhere impatient thousands of Jews, a total of more than 1,000,000, are waiting with eagerness for the League of Nations, which will fix the political status of Palestine as the Jewish homeland, so that they may proceed to the liquidation of their assets and go to the place where they may live the rest of their lives in peace, and with the satisfaction of national existence. This statement is made by the Zionist organization of America and based on what the organization says are authentic reports from responsible individuals furnished to the immigration division of the organization, as guides to that division in preparing for organizing, regulating and absorbing this migration. In the preface to a survey revealing these conditions the immigration division says, "It is a literal fact that at the present moment a large part of the Jewish people is possessed with an irrepressible impulse to strike its tents and march." Thousands of Applicants Immigration committees have been formed by the Zionist organization in a number of countries. Thousands of young men of every class and occupation, of service to the development of the country, have organized agricultural training groups and other groups for the study of all technical and scientific questions which bear upon the settlement of Palestine. England and the United States both expect to make man-power contributions to the settlement of Palestine. The organization in both of these countries is preparing to furnish the administrators, engineers, specialists and civil servants for the task of helping Palestine to absorb the migration. The American organization has recently reported that the roster of the first 500 applications showed 134 occupations, including all forms of manual labor and professional and administrative callings. Jewish farmers headed the list with a capital running into several millions of dollars. Boris Goldberg, chairman of the Zionist organization of Great Russia, reports that during the last 20 months, under the pressure of the revolution, the basis of the economic existence of the Jews has been undermined. The subsistence of 70 to 75 per cent of the Jewish population has been destroyed. Exodus From Russia. "It was only natural that, when the news arrived of the prospect of creating a Jewish homeland in Palestine, there should have arisen an enormous agitation for resettlement in Palestine," says Mr. Goldberg. "Whole Jewish towns and townships began to make themselves ready to move as soon as communications should be opened. "Co-operative societies are being organized, experimental farms are being established for the training of Jewish young men, and builders, carpenters, bricklayers, joiners, locksmiths, blacksmiths, all kinds of skilled laborers, engineers and teachers, are being classified." In Odessa, preparations are under way for handling the throngs that are expected to congregate as soon as traveling is safe. Dr. Saalkind, a member of the Jewish National Council for the Ukraine, and former president of the Jewish community of Petrograd, says: "There is no risk of exaggeration in assuming that several hundred thou- (Continued on Page 3.) 2,000,000 LIBERIANS CELEBRATED FREEDOM OF AFRICAN REPUBLIC July 28 Corresponds With the American Fourth of July—Ex-Slaves Established a Miniature United States Government. Two million Liberians celebrated July 28 an occasion that corresponds to the American Fourth of July. The little African republic adopted the democratic form of government 72 years ago, with a constitution modeled after that of the United States. Since then it has emerged from the toils of the slave trader, adopted the white man's mode of life and forged ahead as a civilized nation. England made it possible for Liberia to become a nation by making it uniawful for British subjects to continue the slave traffic after May 1, 1807. The legality of the trade thus being overthrown by England, the other nations followed in her wake and the horrors of the traffic declined. How Liberia grew into a well governed and enlightened Negro republic in the years that followed is told by William H. Dawley, Jr., 2126 Tracy avenue, Kansas City, Mo., of the faculty of Lincoln high school in the following historical sketch: "The temporary immunity of the coast from the horrors attendant upon the slave trade, occasioned by the passage of the British 'abolition act' furnished an opportunity to certain philanthropists in America to carry out an idea which had originated years previously, of planting on the west coast of Africa a colony of civilized Africans; but which had seemed impracticable in consequence of the unlimited and pernicious sway of the slavers on the Liberian coast. "In the year 1816 a society was instituted—American Colonization society—for the purpose of colonizing Africa, with their own consent, aided by free persons of color, from the United States. In 1820, the necessary preparations having been made, the ship Elizabeth sailed from the United States with a company of 88 emigrants for the west coast of Africa. After various trials and difficulties they landed on Cape Monserrado and succeeded in establishing themselves. "Thus began the American colonization of Africa. Then followed intermittent streams of ex-slaves and free persons of color sometimes with valiant and devoted white governors and not infrequently with redoubtable and no less devoted black governors with reluctant incorporations of natives. After some bloodshed and serious losses by diseases of acclimation until 1847, the Republic of Liberia stood forth a sovereign state. "Among other things, the following will be noted in their declaration of independence: 'We, the people of the Republic of Liberia, were originally inhabitants of the United States of North America. Under the auspices of American colonization we established ourselves here on land purchased from the lords of the soil.' A Miniature of American Freedom "The Liberian government thus became our own in miniature, with a population of 2,000,000 and a territory one-half the size of the state of Kansas. It is interesting to note that the superintendent of education is a member of the cabinet, while before the American congress at special session a bill was introduced creating a secretary of education as a cabinet officer for the United States. "Liberian education has been designed to produce statesmen and Europeans affirm that they are unable to teach the Liberian statesmen anything in diplomacy, for they are of superior finesse. "Christianity seems not to make the proper impression on the grownup native, who easily becomes a convert to Mohammedanism, no doubt because of its simplicity and the fact that its missionaries speak the language of the natives and live among them. Christians have the most signal success in the schools, if they get the children before they are 9 years of age. To Undertake Worthwhile Things "With the progress she has already made Liberia is now prepared to undertake genuinely worthwhile things. If some Negro Clive, or Rhodes, or The Monitor's Phone Number Is Douglas 3224 Shonts, were to assemble a few fellow physicians, chemists, engineers, scientists, and a goodly number of scientific farmers of sound health and virile religious principle from the United States and settle in the republic, Liberia would soon become the garden spot of the dark continent; and the home of such music that would periodically attract visitors from all parts of the globe. Then she could repeat, as did one of her daughters of old: 'I am black, but comely.' WINDY CITY IN GRIP OF RACE WAR (Continued From Page 1.) ceased only when the pavement was covered with dead and wounded, or the mounted police had spurred their horses through the truculent mass. Cars Stopped Early. Men and women were dragged from street cars until the company stopped running the vehicles through the affected area. As the night wore on, looters and incendiaries appeared. Several houses were fired, and one was burned. A number of stores were broken open and sacked, while vandals of both races broke and marred and besmirched the habitations of their opponents. Toward daylight, a number of white rioters invaded the downtown quarter, beat Negroes found on the streets and dragged cowering porters from all-night restaurants and hotels to the streets, flogging them unmercifully. The various affrays owed their initiative about equally to the two races, although the Caucasians seemed to be the prime aggressors. Most of the white rioters were youths. The police devoted much of their activity to clearing the streets of Negroes, and many of the fatalities resulted from the recalcitrancy of the blacks against the order to disperse. In one crowd at Thirty-fifth street and State street, former Alderman De Priest, a Negro, was with a crowd of blacks order to scatter. They refused despite the pleadings of De Priest and two Negro police sergeants and the officers fired into the assembly, killing four and barely missing the former alderman. A police captain in the black belt ascribed the trouble to the hoodlumism of Negroes who came to Chicago during the last two years to make up the shortage in labor caused by the war. He said his experience showed that the older Negro residents refrained from such clashes, having become accustomed to the freedom allowed the blacks without turning it into license. As the night wore on hospitals in the region became filled and doctors were all overworked caring for the injured. A Negro corpse was taken into the establishment of a white undertaker and soon a crowd threatened to attack the place. News of this spread and thereafter dead Negroes would not be accepted in white mortuaries. WEDNESDAY'S REPORT Hospital Attacked. A mob of whites attacked the Provident hospital, an institution for Negroes, Tuesday night and in the shooting that followed, one Negro was probably fatally wounded, two policemen, one white, and about six other persons, were wounded. When the mob surrounded the hospital an attempt to enter the building was beaten off by policemen. Hundreds of whites followed the leadership of a man who is said to have rushed through the nearby streets firing a revolver. The hospital was caring for about 70 patients, about a score of them Negro victims of riots. The presence of policemen prevented a more serious riot. The patients were thrown into a serious condition, the hospital authorities said. Despite authenticated reports of stabbings, clubbings and stonings that poured into police stations as the night wore on, Acting Chief of Police Alcock insisted that he was "very well pleased with conditions." He said that he had approximately 1,800 men in the black belt, 35 patrol wagons, one ambulance, 30 motorcycle men and a mounted squad. It was regarded as significant that five colonels who saw services over seas conferred with Governor Lowden during the late afternoon. These were Milton J. Foreman, Abel Davis, Henry J. Reilly, John W. Clinnin and Henry A. Allen. The executive later said he would not divulge what had been discussed. It was learned also that Colonel Joseph B. Sanborn was on his way to Chicago from Springfield to meet the governor. SAYS AMERICANISM IS SULLIED BY TEXAS LYNCHING (Special to The Monitor.) (Special to the Monitor.)

She has not had the opportunity that her white sister has had. We must encourage her at all costs, for her success means our success, and if she falls we also fall.

Taft, Hughes and Other Noted Americans, Sign, Names to Position NEW YORK, July 29.—Congressional investigation of the wave of mob violence and lynching throughout the United States was demanded in an "address to the nation," signed by former President Taft, officials of several southern states and other nationally prominent citizens, made public here by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "Patriotic citizens throughout the country feel the shame which lynchings have cast upon the nation, but they have assumed partial responsibility for this shame by their silence and their acquisition," said the address. "The time has now come when citizens of the United States can no longer contemplate without protest the setting at naught of the fundamental principles upon which their citizenship is based." The "address" recounts than in 1918, no less than 67 persons "were done to death without trial or any process of law," and declared that it is well known that the innocent with the guilty "suffer the cruel inflictions of mob violence." A congressional investigation is urged so "that means may be found to end the scourge." Prominent signers included: United States Attorney General Palmer, former Attorney General Charles G. Bonaparte, of Baltimore; Elihu Root, Charles E. Hughes and Judge Ben B. Lindsey. JEWISH MIGRATION TO THE HOMELAND (Continued From Page 1.) (Continued From Page 1.) sands, perhaps a million people, are preparing to leave Russia at the first opportunity." From Siberia came a request on April 15 to the London Zionist bureau to obtain permission from the British authorities for a great number of wealthy persons to settle immediately in Palestine. Inquires have come also from Irkutsk, Omsk, and Harbin. N. Farbstein, reporting for the Jewish National Council of Poland, says: "The persecution suffered by the Jews under the present political regime has given an immense impetus to the migration movement. The general political situation and fear of pogroms, on the one hand, and on the other the absolute stagnation of trade and industry, have combined with the Balfour declaration and the fear of bolshevism and confiscation to create an intense longing for Palestine; so much so that large groups, and, in many cases, whole Jewish communities have firmly resolved to leave Poland and migrate to Palestine." The Palestine immigration movement in West Galicia is even stronger than in Poland. Here also large communities are in readiness to go, and the Jews of this country have filed strong protests against the plan to limit Palestine migration to 50,000 a year. Pioneer groups have been organized in 20 towns in West Galicia, and the report from that country says, "We are overwhelmed with applications from men of scientific and technical training who desire to follow their professions in Palestine." Tzecho-Slovak Plans. The report from Tzecho-Slovakia says: "Jewish young men, returning from the army, find themselves unable to recover their positions owing to the strong anti-semitic feeling which has been aroused by certain interested circles to divert public attention from their own extortions. Between October, 1918, and February, 1919, Jewish businesses were pillaged in from 50 to 60 towns in Bohemia and Moravia. To avoid a repetition of this experience the Jews are more anxious than ever to secure for themselves a firm economic position in Palestine. In Jugo-Slavia 100,000 Jews and Jewesses of every class, even down to domestic workers, have organized." Holland reports vast preparations, especially among the 700 Russian, Rumanian and Galician Jews who came there from Antwerp when the war broke out. University students lead the list from Germany. The Jewish refugees from Russia and Poland who found their way into German Austria at the beginning of the war are unwilling to remain in that country, mainly because they are not allowed to acquire full civic rights, and they are also unwilling to return to the countries whence they came. Their favored objective is Palestine. Reports from Morocco, Algiers, Tunis and Egypt, indicate a similar movement, and a large number of well-to-do Jewish farmers are prepared to leave Canada for Palestine. This is also true of some 500 Jewish farmers in Chile, Nicaragua, and Venezuela. Mexico and Brazil are represented in the groups that are preparing to migrate. In the Argentine, the younger men among the Jewish colonists have begun to organize themselves in groups of 50. Representative Dyer Threatened to Fight Negro Opponent—Negroes Left After Trouble and Women Members Were Presented—Take Up League Late Today. (Special to The Monitor.) St. Louis, July 30.—Republican men and women meeting today at the Planters hotel to organize the women's auxiliary state committee almost witnessed a fistic encounter between Representative L. C. Dyer of the Twelfth Congressional District, St. Louis, and Julius M. Weil, Negro state committeeman from that district. Dyer charged that he had been insulted by the Negro committeeman and walking across the room threatened to defend himself from further insult if the chairman would not do so. Dyer was finally induced by Thos. R. Marks of Kansas City to take his seat and the meeting proceeded in peace. After the meeting Weil announced that the Negroes had decided to put up a Negro candidate, Homer G. Phillips, a lawyer, to oppose Dyer at the next congressional primary. "The district is Negro and we hope to elect a Negro representative to the next congress," Weil stated. Desire Negro on Committee. The trouble began after Dyer's name had been submitted to the state committee to fill a vacancy from the Twelfth district. Dyer had been chosen by the congressional committee. Immediately Weil was on his feet, saying that the Twelfth district, controlled by Negroes, desired Homer G. Phillips, a Negro, for the vacancy on the state committee. Unless Phillips were chosen, Weil said, the republicans would lose many Negro republican votes. Then Dyer, his eyes flashing, jumped to his feet and showed he had been chosen legally by the congressional committee and charged that Jacob I. Babler, republican national committeeman, had instigated the plan to defeat him for the place. Babler replied that the charge was untrue, but said he backed the Negro's candidacy for the committee. Further, Babler demanded that Dyer withdraw his previous statement, as the representative expected to be a candidate for national committeeman against Babler. The Negroes Walked Out. A vote on the committee vacancy resulted in Dyer's election by 24 to 5. Then Weil insisted on continuing his fight, but was ruled out of order. Weil stated that the Negroes, at a meeting last night, agreed to put up a candidate against Dyer for congress next year if Dyer did not accept a place on the state-committee. After Dyer threatened to defend himself, Weil and his delegation of Negroes walked out of the meeting. In opening the meeting today of the joint men and women's committee, W. L. Cole, republican state chairman, said that "the women of the state are going to aid in purifying politics by going into the republican and democratic parties and not by holding cleff." A speech was made by Mrs. Walter McNabb, Columbia suffrage leader. The roll of women committeemen was called. The youngest representative on the state committee proved to be Miss Jemima Hoff of Orrick, Mo., 16 years old. She is one of the two women representatives from the Third congressional district. The representatives from Kansas City, the Fifth district, are Mrs. H. H. H. McClure and Mrs. C. S. Bradley. The latter was represented by Miss Jennie Fisher, auditor at the Hotel Baltimore, and state president of the Women's Association of Commerce. A fight is expected at the afternoon session when Joseph E. Black of Richmond introduces a resolution condemning the League of Nations in any form. The resolution is identical with the one adopted Thursday by the repubublicans in Kansas City. LEAVES ENTIRE FORTUNE TO COLORED HOUSEKEEPER (By Associated Negro Press.) Brooklyn, N. Y., July 29.—The will of Alexander William Waters, 50, filed for probate in the surrogate's court yesterday, consists of only seven words and leaves an estate declared to be "more than $10,000" to Zulma Powell, 35, a Negress, who was a housekeeper in the decedent's home for a number of years. "All I have belongs to Zulma," reads the will. Alexander William Waters died suddenly in his office, 61 Broadway, Manhattan, July 3 last. It was 9 o'clock in the morning. He was sitting at his desk and had spoken of feeling ill. A premonition of impending death seized him. He took a large sheet of paper, on the back of which was printed a "daily market letter," and wrote the seven words of his will on it in a large, sprawling hand. It is a wise policy to remain true and loyal to old friends. THE MONITOR Washington—The Center of Disgrace Washington, the nation's capital city, has at last joined the shining galaxy of cities of blood—Springfield, 0.; Springfield, Ill.; Atlanta, Brownsville, Houston, East St. Louis, et al, et al. It is a grim and serious subject to comment upon. Paris, London, Rome and Berlin, and all the other capitals of the world are seriously discussing in their newspapers and houses of legislation, and on the streets, what occurred in Washington. Washington has raised the curtain, and from being known as the center of freedom and justice, it has been transformed into the center of disgrace. Is, or is not, this the time for prophesies or warnings? Whether yes, or no, old world newspapers are doing both. It is hardly the time for threats, by either whites or blacks, but the murmurings of such startle the ears of the listener at the "listening post." The white people of our nations, by and large, have been weighed in the balance, and they have been found wanting. They have been found wanting in acting squarely and fairly on the things they teach and preach and fight and die for. We have accepted their teaching and preaching at face value, and we have fought and died for those principles, only to discover they are seldom put into practice. Patience has turned to weariness and enthusiasm to disgust. We may not be accorded equality in even handed justice everywhere, but we cannot be segregated from the world wide condition of social unrest. A splendid group of white people, north and south, east and west, recognize this fact, and are much in earnest over plans for treating us more like human beings. This fine group of whites has yet to contend with that shallow, demagogic element that stop at nothing, but in their true light are mere cowards and notorious examples of ignorance. It must be understood by all of us that group does not represent the true spirit of America, even though they have exercised the greatest amount of nerve, speaking in the slang sense only. Lynchings and riots are their pastime, but their day of reckoning is fast approaching. The Associated Press, with its infamous policy of giving us the worst of everything, has run true to form in its dispatches concerning the Washintgon riots. Furnishing dispatches to the daily newspapers, always in its first paragraph, it attributes the source of the trouble to our people "molesting white women." That, the Associated Press knows, is always fuel for the fire of fury. It is a damnable shame for such a great service to stoop to such harmful and untruthful propaganda. The Associated Press always carries its point, however. It arouses certain elements of whites to indignation by the thoughts of the ever "burly black brutes," and it stirs the people of our group to a state of fighting mad by the folly of it—for we know "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." The American people are much in need of militant, fearless, just intelligent and determined leadership. There is very little of it at this time in Washington, or any other part. But it must come before the climax is reached, and we again have peace and good will. There cannot be real peace and good will, however, without justice, and this justice is not yet, not yet, not yet. Right will prevail—some day, but between this day day and that day, there can be only disaster after disaster, regardless of consequences, if it is to be expected that the 15,000,000 people of this group must forever and forever submit to the wrongs of oppression. In the light of common sense reasoning, it is manifestly unfair and inhuman to expect it. Attorney General Expected to Make Recommendation to President Before Date Set for Execution—Dr. Scott "On the Job." (Special to The Monitor.) Washington, D. C., July 39.—Some time ago a Colored soldier, Sergeant Edgar Caldwell, in an altercation with a motorman and conductor of a street car in Anniston, Alabama, shot and killed one or both of them. He was tried, convicted and sentenced to be hung, and the case has been pending for several months. Rev. R. R. Williams and other influential Colored citizens of Anniston have made very strong representations in behalf of this Colored soldier through Dr. Emmett J. Scott, former special assistant to the secretary of war, and advice has just been given Dr. Scott in a letter signed by Joseph P. Tumulty, secretary to the president, that the attorney general of the United States is having made an investigation of the facts in the case of Sergeant Caldwell and that he (the attorney general), will make a recommendation to the president in time for him to act before the date set for the execution. THE PERISCOPE ARMOURS WALLOP CHICAGO UNION GIANTS TWICE SUNDAY Saturday and Sunday were the days when the Chicago Union Giants and Armours met on Rourke field in a series of games, of which Armours won the best two out of three. Saturday's game went to the Chicago Union Giants, with a score of 17 to 3. Jimmy Moore pitched for Armours. His game was more than amateurish, the Chicago boys hitting his offerings to all corners of the field. The score by innings follows: SCORE BY INNINGS Giants ..... 2 1 0 4 0 0 2 1 7—17 Armours ..... 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 1—3 In the first game Sunday Andy Graves pitched for Armours, while Ducke twirled the ball in the second game. Both pitchers put the blinks on the Chicago boys who didn't seem able to find them. The Chicago Union Giants were clearly outclassed by the faster Armour team, but hope to take revenge on them when they return with a new pitcher for a series in August. ARMOURS AB. H. O. E. A.

C., July 28.—A delegation of the National Race Congress of America, composed of Rev. Dr. W. H. Jernagin, president; Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary of the emergency defense fund; Bishop I. N. Ross, Rev. J. L. S. Holloman, secretary, and the Rev. Drs. W. H. Brooks, J. Milton Waldron, W. J. Howard, W. A. Taylor, W. C. Brown and A. C. Garner, were received a few days ago at the Lafayette hotel, 16th and Eye streets N. W., and the interview between these representative Colored men of different governments and two continents was a delightful interchange of facts and opinions touching current history and was most satisfactory from every point of view. The outstanding thing in the conversation of the envoys was their noticeable pride in their government and country. The Kantiba Gebrou said, with a bewitching smile, "Abyssinia is the future home of the Negro." They evinced a deep interest in the concerns common to Africa and America. The envoyes stood in a semi-circle in their private parlor and were introduced by the Zantiba Gebrou (mayor), who stood to the left of his excellency, Dedjaxmatch Nadao (duke), the chief of the envoyes. The other Abyssinians were Ato Herouy, diplo- Have You Tried It Yet? KAFFIR-KREAM TRADE MARK The face cream that is positively guaranteed to remove all grease, shine and perspiration.

Capt. Paul Rex Morrissey (white) was aide de camp to the Duke Nadao. The Abyssinians wore the picturesque costume of their native land. The intelligent eyes of the envoys seemed to search every man as Captain Morrissey and Dr. Jernagin performed the ceremony of introduction. Prof. Hawkins, acting as the spokesman of the race congress, offered greetings in the name of all our people, telling the envoys of our pride in the achievements of the Abyssinian kingdom; of our fellowship of purpose; of our esteem for the character, religion, heritages and strength of their people, and welcomed them to our country as citizens of a great race having the promise of the highest development. The duke replied through the Kantiba, thanking Prof. Hawkins for his gracious words. An invitation was extended to the envoys to attend the next national session of the Negro race congress, which will be held here in October. If they should be unable to attend they will doubtless send a letter. Photographs of the envoys and the delegates of the race congress will be exchanged and the conference closed with a feeling that much good for all concerned had been accomplished. CHARGE WASHINGTON NEWS- PAPER WITH INCITING TO RIOT New York City, July 25.—Action by the Attorney General of the United States against the Washington Post on the ground of incitement to riot in connection with the recent race riots in Washington is asked in a letter sent to Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer today by John R. Shillady secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The letter is as follows: July 25, 1919. Hon. A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General United States, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People respectfully asks if the office of the United States attorney general intends proceeding against the Washington Post, on the ground of incitement to riot, in connection with the recent disorders in Washington. The ground for such procedure seems to lie in matter published on the first page of the Washington Post on the morning of Monday, July 21, on the evening of which day the worst disorders occurred. The matter referred to reads as follows: "Mobilization for Tonight." "It was learned that a mobilization of every available service man stationed in or near Washington or on leave here has been ordered for tomorrow evening near the Knights of Columbus hut on Pennsylvania avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets. "The hour of assembly is 9 o'clock and the purpose is a 'clean-up' that will cause the events of the last two evenings to pale into insignificance. "Whether official cognizance of this assemblage and its intent will bring about its forestalling cannot be told." In view of the fact that the "mobilization" announced by the Washington Post had not been ordered by any authority, military or civil, does not the passage show intent by the Washington Post to bring about such "mobilization?" Sincerely yours, (Signed) JOHN R. SHILLADY, Secretary GOV. LOWDEN OF ILLINOIS CALLED BACK TO OWN STATE Governor Frank Lowden of Illinois is not coming to Nebraska to address the legislature and be the guest of Governor McKelvie for a short period. The Illinois governor, en route west last night, by telegram was informed of a renewal of the race riots in Chicago and the probability of a general strike of street railway men. Feeling that his presence was required in his own state, he boarded a train back for Chicago. He had reached Burlington when he turned back. Good health depends largely upon good habits.

"OUR NEGRO BROTHERS" UNDER the above caption the Evening News of San Jose, Cal., in its issue of July 1, has an illuminating and thought-compelling editorial. It is inspired by an article by W. J. J. Byers, associate editor of the News for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, entitled "Glorious Role of Negroes in America's Wars." After calling attention to Mr. Byers' admirable article, the editor of the News says: "We are glad that the Community Editorial Column as an institution has brought to light in San Jose the interesting facts which Mr. Byers chronicles in his editorial. "These facts are particularly important just now, owing to the wave of ill feeling against the Negroes which seems to be sweeping the whites of the south as a result of the Negroes' part in the world war. Reliable reports from the southern states show that the southern whites are indignant because the Negroes were allowed to wear Uncle Sam's uniform and to take part in the great struggle in France. Every time they see a Negro soldier in uniform they experience a thrill of hatred. Now, the unfairness of this feeling is obvious. It was by the federal government's orders that these Negroes went to France. They were drafted, and as loyal citizens of the republic, they had to go to the front when the government ordered them to do so. "If the Negroes had disobeyed the draft call, the southern whites would have lynched them for being disloyal; since they obeyed the draft call, the southern whites are lynching them because they 'had the presumption' to wear Uncle Sam's uniform in the world war! In short, all the southern whites are looking for is a chance to lynch Negroes. And they don't care how flimsy the excuse is. The southern whites, we said—but fortunately, not all the southern whites approve of such outrageous acts. Some of the biggest and best established southern newspapers are already protesting against the terrible lynchings which are daily becoming more common, more hideous in the revolting cruelty of their details. And it is well for the south, and well for the whole nation, that some few courageous and civilized white men are raising their voices in protest. "But on the whole, the outlook is dark, indeed. The Negroes, smarting under generations of mistreatment, and the whites, arrogant with pride of race and maddened to jealous fury by the glorious deeds of the Negroes in the world war—such is the situation. All lovers of the great republic will pray that no more bloodshed come from this situation, and that some day we white Americans will learn to treat our black Americans as brothers and fellow men should be treated." It is gratifying to notice that editorials of this character are appearing in leading newspapers all over the country. They will undoubtedly have a good effect in moulding a right public sentiment. The News in this editorial does not misrepresent the situation. It states facts which all loyal Americans need to take seriously at heart. GOOD FOR TROTTER FOR a man of William Monroe Trotter's antecedents, training and culture to have to resort to the methods employed by him to go to Paris must have been exceedingly distasteful. It is a great reflection upon those in authority at Washington who denied passports to Colored Americans in one breath and granted passports to Irish Americans in the next that this resourceful editor was compelled to do as he did. We admire him for it. It took courage of no mean order to pocket one's pride, and subject one's self to the embarrassments and indignities heaped upon one in employments called menial in order that he might be able to be of service to his race. That Mr. Trotter found a way to outwit the prejudiced members of the state department is gratifying to those who felt their position was unwarranted. His resourcefulness and willingness to endure personal discomfort and sacrifice for the accomplishment of a great purpose carries a lesson which will not be lost upon the thoughtful members of the race or the country at large. BACK TO PALESTINE THE exodus of Jews from various countries where they have been unkindly treated to the homeland, Palestine, is one of the most suggestive social movements of the reconstruction period. It is authoritatively announced that millions are eagerly awaiting the outcome of the League of Nations which will fix the political status of Palestine, so that they may proceed to the liquidation of their assets and go to the place where they may live the rest of their lives in peace and with the satisfaction of national existence. How general this exodus will be time alone will tell. It is, however, in keeping with prophesy and prophesy has a remarkable facility of fulfillment. The withdrawal of this virile and thrifty race from any country will be seriously felt in the commercial world. It seems hardly probable that great numbers of those who have helped to make the United States commercially great will return to Palestine and yet history reveals changes as startling and unexpected as this. The Zionist cry, "Back to Palestine," which not many years ago seemed but the echo of an impossible longing now sounds as the marching song of returning multitudes. THERE is a bad habit which we ought to correct. What is it? The disposition to hang around business places conducted by our people. If the proprietor politely requests that this habit cease, he incurs the displeasure of those to whom he speaks. But this is a bad habit which injures our place of business. Transact your business and then go about your business. We are a sociable people, but sociability and loafing around business places are not synonymous terms. CLASS-CONSCIOUSNESS OF NEGROES ONE thing obvious in the period through which the world is now passing is that all sorts of people are becoming class-conscious. The conflict of class interests, always latent has become acute. On all sides, individuals are finding poignant reasons for analyzing their status, discovering those whose interests appear to be allied or opposed and are tending to unite with their felows. Such a result was only to be expected from the work of the peace conference. That little phrase, "self-determination," whirring up and down the lanes of world progress, has brought out into the open every nation, race, or class having a special interest to be maintained or a particular grievance to require correction. And amid countless claims with which the world is unfamiliar have come, resurgent, some of those older claims, those problems, that have long been awaiting attention. It is not surprising, for example, that the Negroes in the United States have seen in the present situation an opportunity for self-determination. Perhaps they did not at first realize the potential effect of the American Negro as a soldier in the United ALLIS & FRIENDS MAKER OF THE COURSE OMAIA A BAD HABIT THE MONITOR States army in this war, but they realize it now. They are pointing out that the Negro was on a par with the white man as a fighter, and are pressing the logic of the situation to secure his recognition on a par with the white man in civil life. This appears to be a dominant phase of Negro thought in this country just now, and it is being applied with such emphasis to the evil of lynching as to create a new feeling, throughout the country, that this form of lawlessness must be reached and ended. Along with this claim for consideration on the basis of national service is another claim, less readily expressed in words yet perhaps even more assertive, namely, the claim of the Negro for consideration as a factor in industry. We hear it said, here and there, that the war was the "industrial salvation of the Negro." We see Negroes, in the northern cities, at least, more numerous and better dressed than before the war, often with every appearance of what the world calls "easy circumstances." There is very little of the old-time shiftlessness. The Negro of the industrial centers is, generally, more alert than he was before the wave of good jobs with good wages was sufficiently widespread to include him. But what makes it clearly apparent that Negroes are now unitedly thinking of their status, and definitely pressing for the betterment of Negroes as a class, is their activity in organizations having that for an object, and the industry and skill with which they plead their cause in print. Not the most active of the self-determination "small nations" interested in the European peace terms has more effectively circularized the newspaper offices in this country since the armistice than have the Negroes, through publicity matter and personal letters. They believe they know what they want, and they are using all proper means to bring their contentions to public notice.—Christian Science Monitor, July 22, 1919. One of the most brutal forms of oppression is the punishment of a whole race for the crimes of individuals. For many years this has been and is still the practice in American states that do not recognize the citizenship of the Negro. To accuse a black man is to condemn him to torture and death and resentment on the part of kindred is held to justify massacres that are complacently dignified as race wars. What we see now in Washington is more properly to be thus classified than any other disturbance that we have had, and there is a reason for it worthy of serious consideration. Negroes are taking part in the hostilities. If they are assaulted or shot, they are assaulting and shooting in return. In defense of life, limb and liberty they are meeting mobs with mobs. Deplorable as all this lawlessness, is the response of the black man to the white man was bound to come some time. The Negro has long been free. He has acquired some education and property. He has made a place for himself in industry. The laws under which he lives guarantee him equality. He escapes no responsibility that rests upon the white man. Yet in large sections of the union when riot is afoot he is stripped of every right and driven either into hiding or violence. Is there anybody at the south or elsewhere who imagines that the compulsory service of 360,000 Negroes in the United States army, in many instances so creditably as to win high commendation, has had no influence upon them or the mass of their people at home? Who is foolish enough to assume that with 239,000 Colored men in uniform from the southern states alone, as against 270,000 white men, the blacks whose manhood and patriotism were thus recognized and tested are forever to be flogged, lynched and burned at the stake or chased into concealment whenever Caucasian desperadoes are moved to engage in these infamous pastimes? We grieve over the hardships of many subject peoples a long way off and on occasion manifest something resembling indignation, but in all the world there is hardly a population so God-forsaken and law-forsaken as our own blacks. Whether it is agreeable or not, therefore, the Washington outbreak is a warning to all Americans that their race wars hereafter are going to be race wars. The Negro citizen is going to have his day in court. It ought not to be necessary for him to fight for it.—New York World. "Terrorizing the Blacks." It is said that "the new Ku-Klux Klan is sweeping the south and terrorizing the blacks." The terrorization, is one name or another, has been active in the south since the fall of the reconstruction governments, in 1872-76. If the mob spirit is more active now than at other times it should indicate that the time has arrived when the congress of the United PRESS COMMENTS States must enact appropriate legislation to curb and destroy lawlessness. If it does not so do the lawlessness will curb and destroy the United States.—Amsterdam News. Race riots in Washington this week only show to what lengths uncontrolled passion leads. Granted that great provocation for resentment has been given, that does not excuse the violent outbreaks that took place. Lawlessness is no substitute for order and blind passion seldom seeks justice. A mob is the most unreasoning thing outside the mere brute creation, and the mob spirit is the most dangerous thing in any community. One of the duties of the government is to suppress it and to secure justice, peace and order. Any government that fails in this fails in the very purpose for which it was instituted.—The True Voice, Omaha, Neb. States' Standing on Anthony Amend- ment The record of the states of the union on the issue of ratification of the federal suffrage amendment is as follows: Number necessary to carry amendment, 36. Number that stand in favor, 11. Number that stand against, 0. Number needed of those yet to vote, 25. States that have ratified, with date Illinois—June 10, 1919. Wisconsin—June 10, 1919. Michigan—June 10, 1919. Kansas—June 16, 1919. New York—June 16, 1919. Ohio—June 16, 1919. Pennsylvania—June 24, 1919. Massachusetts—June 25, 1919. Texas—June 27, 1919. Iowa—July 2, 1919.

THOSE who breed hate, sow to the wind and the whirlwind is their harvest. LAKE Michigan is not large enough for the whole world for that matter, to furnish a safe resting place for race prejudice. RACE war waged in Washington and the wordy Woody Wilson opened not his mouth. SOME day every inhabitant on this hemisphere will have learned that peace like everything else begins at home, and the only permanent basis is justice and fair play for every human. DID you notice that the first thing that Wilson said when he opened his mouth again after the disgraceful riot in Washington was to talk about the duty the Americans owed to far away France? In times like these, good God, give us men! HAS NEW LAND FOR NEGROES Will Be Given Chance to Farm 35,000 Acres in Arkansas. Kansas City, Mo., July 30—H. P. Ewing, known locally as the Negro "potato king," and originator of the 'back to the farm for Negroes" movement, has a new plan for the betterment of the Negro in his renewed efforts to induce his race to take up agriculture. Phil R. Toll, chairman of the executive committee of the Fort Smith Lumber company, has turned over 35,000 acres of northern Arkansas land for development. Ewing is organizing a plan whereby energetic Negroes, and especially returned Negro soldiers, can get employment in the development and at the same time buy the land as it is developed. GRAND EXALTED RULER SCOTT CONSENTS TO RUN AGAIN Washington, D. C., July 27.—Yielding to the earnest solicitations of the many lodges of the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World, Attorney Armond W. Scott, who has served most effectively for the past three years, has consented to become a candidate for re-election as grand exalted ruler, subject to the decision of the 20th grand lodge session which will be held at Atlantic City on August 26, 27 and 28. The Elks look for the very best convention in their two decades of history at Atlantic City, August 26, 27 and 28 and a record-breaking attendance is predicted.

He has been a resident of Omaha for many years and earned the love and esteem of her citizens, who are glad that he was not held by the lure of the east, but came back to practice his profession in the town of his adoption. Dr. Peebles is a graduate of Amherst college and the Northwestern College of Dentistry, to which he has added years of experience and proficient service to the public. He has opened a well equipped office at his old stand, 220 South Thirteenth street, over Pope's drug store.

OBITUARY George Cecil Sledd, a resident of Omaha for the past eight years, died at his family residence, 2407 North 29th stret, on Thursday, July 17, at 4:30. Mr. Sledd had been in poor health for some time, but was apparently well until Sunday, June 20, when he was seized with a hemorrhage. He has grown gradually worse since then. His father has been at his bedside for the last ten days. The funeral was held from the Jones & Reed chapel at 2:30. At 5 o'clock the remains were shipped to Paducah, Ky. The Rev. W. C. Williams officiated. 5 CARD OF THANKS MRS. PEARL SLEDD. GEO. SLEDD, JR. SAM SLEDD. BELEE TAYLOR. NOTED MINISTER DIES Kiddies' Korner By MADREE PENN FIDO, JR. By MARGARET L. AHERN (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure New- paper Syndicate.) For the third consecutive day Mar- jorie Hill spent 15 minutes of her noon hour gazing covetously in the store window. And for the third time Lieu- tenant Dan Taylor, lunching alone at his club across the street, watched her with growing curiosity. Dan, the proud possessor of two gold service stripes and a wound stripe, was feeling rather bored after his strenuous activities of the past year. This state of affairs was possibly due to the fact that there had been no girl waiting for him "over here." His interest was aroused now for the first time since his return home. "If it was a fur coat she was looking at so earnestly," he soilquized, "or a platinum bracelet watch, or a rose-colored evening gown—I could understand it. But it's a bird and animal store. I wonder if it's a parrot or a canary she wants." While she watched the girl went inside the store. Dan hastily paid his meal check and hurried across the street. He, in turn, stared in the window at the miscellaneous assortment of livestock. On one side some tiny white mice were huddled in a squirming heap in a cage. "No girl in her right mind would even look at those things," was the lieutenant's sarcastic comment. On the other side of the window two white, curly-haired dogs, frisked around. "Inane pups," muttered Dan. "She doesn't look like the kind of a girl who would carry one of those toy lambs around." In the center of the window was an iron cage, and presently its occupant—a small but very fat Boston terrier—was thrust in unceremoniously. The girl inside the store leaned over to play with him for a moment, and Dan had a delightful glimpse of rosy cheeks and brown eyes. When she left Dan followed her through the noonday crowd until she entered a large bank building. A few minutes later the president of the bank was shaking hands joyfully with the lieutenant. "It surely does make your old uncle glad to see you again, Danny," he said, "and if there's anything at all I can do for you—" His offer was accepted with suspicious alacrity. Dan explained glibly that he wanted to look over the contents of his safety deposit box, and since his right arm was still lame, possibly he could have the assistance of one of the clerks. For answer his uncle pressed a button beside his desk. A young woman appeared almost immediately. Dan, maneuvering to a position back of her, frantically signaled to his uncle. The latter, hiding a smile, dismissed his efficient employee with some casual instructions, and asked her to send Miss Hill to him. Miss Hill proved to be the girl of the bird store. From her demure blush as she acknowledged the introduction to the eager lieutenant, he suspected that she recognized him. It was arranged that she should work with Dan that afternoon at least; but he made haste to assure his uncle that the clipping of innumerable coupons would probably necessitate another full day's work. During the afternoon a minimum of business was transacted by Dan and his acting secretary. However he found time to tell her of the big kennels at his country place, and of his favorite pet, the ugly-looking bulldog named "Old Ironsides." "He'll try to—I mean, he could—eat that little chap in the birdstore in one mouthful," said Dan. And Marjorie confided to him her longing to possess the "little chap." She told him how she had figured that five dollars was a sufficient sum for such a tiny puppy, and how she had been saving up a "dog fund"; and then of her disappointment at learning that the small dog had a most distinguished and high-class canine family tree—being a direct descendant of Ringmaster I—and his present owners refused to part with him for less than twenty-five dollars. Needless to say, the puppy of unimpeachable ancestry disappeared from the store window the next day. When the president of the bank returned after lunch that noon, he found an unexpected visitor tied to his desk. A note from Dan explained the situation. It read as follows: "I am paying my charming assistant, not in coin of the realm but in the original way you see hitched to your desk. Don't dare remove him. He will be called for at 5 o'clock." Dan's uncle viewed the pup with a quizzical smile. Fortunately, he liked dogs, too. "I suppose," he remarked thoughtfully, "that you have to be fed at more or less frequent intervals, like all infants. Although—pardon my 6 rudeness, old man—from the contour of your small anatomy you don't look as though you had room for a drop more." An excited office boy was presently sent out to procure some milk for the puppy. Then, still holding Dan's note, his uncle sighed and addressed the pup again. "Perhaps you understand, Fido, junior"—a vigorous wagging of a diminutive tail testified that Fido, junior, understood perfectly. "You have been the cause of my nephew coming in here and taking my best stenographer." NEW W. S. S. CERTIFICATE NEW W. S. S. CERTIFICATE Treasury Department Authorizes Denominations of $100 to $1,000 for Investors. The Kansas City Federal Reserve Bank has ordered from the Treasury Department a supply of the new Treasury Savings Certificates, series of 1919, which on July 2d were authorized by the Department in denominations of $100.00 and $1,000.00 They are in registered form and are in addition to the 1919 War Savings Certificates previously issued. War Savings Stamps of the denomination of $5.00 are convertible into these new securities which bear the same rate of interest as the Savings Stamps, 4 per cent, compounded quarterly. The $100.00 certificates are convertible into the $1,000.00 certificates and the limit of investment of $1,000.00 for each individual, which is the feature of the Savings Stamp issue, is retained in the new certificates. Treasury Savings Certificates in the denomination of $100.00 (maturity value) may be purchased at the post-offices of the first and second class and such other postoffices as the Post-office Department may designate for that purpose. Both the $100.00 and $1,000.00 denominations may be purchased at incorporated banks and trust companies which are agents for the sale of War Savings Certificates. The new certificates will be issued only in registered form and shall bear the name of the owner inscribed by the agent at the time of purchase and will not be valid unless the owner's names is thus inscribed. The certificates will not be transferable and will be payable only to the owner named thereon except in case of death or disability of the owner. Greatest Education in the World Is Teaching Children How to Be Independent. Earn first, save second and spend third. That is the briefest and best rule of economy the world knows. And every country in the world knows the rule better than America does. At the outset of the world war we were the most extravagant nation in existence. If the world war brought no other good end, it showed America the value of thrift. From the least thrifty to the most thrifty should be the American ambition, beginning right now. And there is no better place to begin with thrift than with children. Since the war furnished the realization of the need of thrift, and the Treasury Department, through War Savings Stamps, furnished the method of combined saving and investment, it is up to the parents and the teachers of this country to see that the children take advantage of these opportunities. Through the Saving Division of the Tenth Federal Reserve District every child in this district is enabled to obtain a war souvenir, in the form of a hand grenade converted into a savings bank. In order to get the grenade he had only to observe the above rule—earn first, save second and seend third. It is a simple rule and, if observed, will revolutionize American habits. It will change us from a nation of spend-thrifts to one of thrifts; from dollar-hounds to dime watch-dogs; from waste to worth. The new slogan of the Tenth District is "Make Big Savers Out of 'Little Shavers.'" "Thrift is the surest and strongest foundation of an empire; so sure, so strong, so necessary, that no nation can long exist that disregards it."—Lord Roseberry. A --- --- THE MONITOR HER MISTAKE By MILDRED WHITE (Copyright, 1912, Western Newspaper Union) Janey sat a long while with the letter in her hand. In fancy she was going over that long blissful time since she had met Robert and the tenor of her life had been forever changed. Before that, it was an uneventful routine. But after Robert's advent, unrest had stirred within her, and dissatisfaction with life's simple homeliness. Robert Tabor, city business man, had bought as an investment, the great farm near Janey's home, and when the caretaker had been duly installed, Robert Tabor came out to look the place over. So pleased and interested was he, that he lingered for weeks, seeking and finding hospitality in Janey's home. It had never been her opportunity to hear at first hand of remote wonderful parts of the world, for this engaging man from the city had traveled and learned much. It was a never ceasing delight to ride over the farm lands, in his swift running car, or to drive at his side in a light carriage through the narrower paths. Janey's guardian aunt was quite willing that this should be so, she had no wish to keep Janey forever at her side. All at once Janey had been ashamed of the simple cut of her home-made frocks, her lack of knowledge of the ways of the great outside world. "I want to go to the city," she confided to her new friend. "I want to learn to be—like them." "Clothes you mean?" Robert Tabor had asked, amused. "Clothes, manners, everything." Janey declared. The aunt, much persuaded, arranged with an old friend in the city to have Janey visit her there, and Robert—as both now called him—continued kind with his attentions. In his care Janey visited restaurants, opera, theaters; with him she had driven through the beautiful parks. "Oh! how I love it all!" she said. Home seemed very dull afterward. Robert's visits to his farm were the only bright spots, and as fall drew near and these visits threatened to cease, Janey grew wan in apprehension. With the harvest moon looking down upon them, glorifying their radiant faces—Robert had asked Janey to marry him and she had consented. Robert wanted her, he longed for her and despotic business held him tied in the city. Would she come for a visit to his married sister's home? Would she come? In a fever of joyful anticipation Janey rushed to her aunt's room to begin preparation. Robert was pale and worried looking when he met her at the station. Absently he glanced over the modish suit and hat which had cost her a forbiddingly extravagant price. In the brilliant gathering which his sister generously arranged for Janey her fear grew, at his gloomy abstraction. This taciturn man was a different person certainly from the joyously enthusiastic master of the farm. And Robert's sister had assured Janey that she need have no anxiety on the score of adjustability. "You seem to have grown up among us dear," she said. At the hotel dinner, smiling into her lover's eyes across the roses heaped between them, Janey saw a shadow there. "You like all this, don't you?" Robert asked. "So much," she agreed, ever eagér to please. Futilely she asked herself each night in what she had failed for her fiance seemed to grow more distantly absorbed. Suddenly Janey longed with homesick yearning for the restful atmosphere of the country she knew, for the long walks through the silent places where she could think seriously or find herself again. For Janey realized that her life of late had been but profitless effort to learn the part she would be expected to play in the future, and in sickness of heart she wondered if she would be able to carry that weary part through with Robert always unappreciative at her side. Frankly but with a tremulous catch in her voice, Janey told him one day her problem: "I don't seem to fit in Robert," she said, "no matter how hard I try. I'm a disappointment to you, I feel it. Take me back to the quiet place that I best know, and leave me there." Unbelieving, her lover stared into her face. "But you used to tell me," he said "that you longed for the life of a city! That is why, after I had bought the farm, intending to make it my headquarters, that I returned again to the business world, for your sake, Janey, because you said you loved gayety. My youthful years have been crowded full of work and care. It was my dream that in early success I might find leisure, again to enjoy those things that I loved as a boy. But without your presence I cannot now enjoy anything. "Could you be happy with me out there Janey? When tired of fields and meadows, we would travel. Could you go back with me dear, to the farm?" Through tears Janey smiled at him. "Why Robert," she said, "it will be just like go go straight back to Paradise." In the 48 states of the Union there are 2,989 counties. By ANGELA E. SHEEHAN (Copyright, 1919, by the McClure News- paper Syndicate.) "Oh, surely I ought to get a letter from him today, exclaimed Alice, as she slipped on her hat to run down to the village postoffice. The clerk looked through the mail for her, just as he had done every day for over two months, but there was none. Poor Alice turned away with a sinking heart. Would Dick never write to her? Certainly there could be no reason for such a long delay. It was about three months since she had answered his last letter, and yet there had been no reply. Here an awful thought occurred to her. "Oh—oh, I wonder—yes, that must be it! He has met some French girl over there that he likes better than me. Why—why—ooh! I'll never write to that boy as long as I live." Khaki, Alice's little Scotch collar, cocked one eye speculatively at his young mistress. Never in all his puppy life had he known her to be a averse to a romp with him, but lately everything was changed. Even his imploring little tricks could not induce her to cuddle him. Well, mortals were funny, anyway; a mere puppy couldn't be expected to understand them. But Khaki was not the only one that noticed Alice's abstraction. Her young brother Jack had been taking account of affairs. "Probably she's in love," he guessed, Well, something would have to be done. He simply couldn't let such a state of affairs go on. "Golly, lately a fellow can't even ask for a single favor without having his head taken off," he ruefully complained. Now, Jack was an observing boy, so it is not strange that he noticed how often his sister went to the postoffice for mail she never received. He was also a diplomat. "By the way, Alice, how's Jack?" he casually remarked one evening. "How do you suppose I know?" she snapped. "I don't know or I don't care." So that's where the shoe pinched. Well, he could easily fix that up. That's what a younger brother was for anyway. Dick Fale was resting one afternoon in a Y. M. C. A. hut with a group of fellow engineers, but he was not entering into their discussions. On the contrary, he was thinking seriously of a certain girl way back in the States. "Wonder why she doesn't answer my letters?" he questioned. "Possibly she doesn't receive them. No, that can't be, for I've written every week for at least three months. Could it be —er— could it be that she prefers Ed Field after all? Well, no girl will make a fool out of me if I know it. She'll get no more letters from me." No sooner had he uttered these words when his chum appeared with a letter for him. "Thought I'd bring it to you, Dick, as long as I was coming this way. Why, man, what's the matter with you?" It is no wonder the mystified fellow asked such a question, for Dick was dancing around with a lock of golden hair dangling in his fingers. "She's willing! She's willing!" he exclaimed. "Oh boy! Just wait until I get back to the States. Hey, Fred! Want to be my best man?" When Dick finally quieted down he explained to the curious Fred the meaning of the strange lock of hair. One evening they had been sitting out on the porch, when Dick foolingly cut off a lock of Alice's hair. When Alice was ready to answer in the affirmative a question he had recently asked, she could send him the lock of hair. Agreeing, Alice slipped the lock into a book she was holding, thinking it to be a safe biding place." "And now," added Dick, "as long as I'm going to be sent home soon I won't let her know I'm coming, but will surprise her." After the wedding guests had all departed, Jack, with Khaki as a companion, threw himself down on the lawn, a characteristic position of his when he wanted to think. "Gosh, Khaki, just look at that watch. It isn't a beauty?" he chuckled reminiscently, "but didn't Sis look surprised when Dick told her he received that lock of hair. Wonder how she guessed I did it though? We should worry, Khaki. If I hadn't taken Cupid's job, she would never have given me this watch. What about it, Khaki?" "Rowow!" agreed Khaki. The famous doctrine, as announced by President Monroe in his message to congress in 1823, was a simple statement of the attitude of this country toward the South American republics. Henry Clay had made an effort to have the independence of these republics recognized, and in 1822 their independence was acknowledged by congress. President Monroe had recalled John Quincy Adams from the court of St. James to become his secretary of state, and many historians credit Adams with the authorship of the message, in which the doctrine was stated as follows: "As a principle, the American continents, by the free and independent position which they have assumed and maintained, are henceforth not to be considered as subjects for future colonization by any European power." This was undoubtedly the sentiment of the congress to which the doctrine was announced. "Monroe Doctrine." ization and con- taching, Crow- nal Life.

A. and the West Indies: The condition that confronts us on every hand demands immediate united action on our part. If we de- lay, we would be guilty of unpar- donable sin, and jeopardize the Black Man's Cause for Ages to Come. Our descendants would curse our memory. Shall the invincible and unterrified Knights Liberty, who saved in the bloody wars of America and Europe for the white race the “Jewels of Liberty” deny them to ourselves. Equality of Rights and Liberty are within our grasp, Black Americans! Let us rise up in our moral intellec- tual civic and physical might and take our rights! To this end the National Organizer of Equal Rights League, now begins the campaign for three million mem- bers of the above-named race or- ganization of matchless achievements and international renown. Colored Americans the world’s eyes are upon us, watching to see us take our rights. Shall we falter in the crisis of our destiny? Shall we fail to sus- tain and continue the inspired and magnificent work of the noble self- sacrificing and immortal William Mon- roe Trotter in Europe? Never! He has fired the shot in Europe for the Black Race that was heard round the world. Like him, let us sacrifice all. White Americans like courage and force. Let us give them both in the taking of our rights. The league must have three million members as quickly as possible, We now appeal to churches, civie, secret and all other organizations among Afro-Americans to co-operate with the League to get these members at once. Southern mobocracy and southern tyranny must be destroyed by Black Ameri- cans and upon their ruins the temple of justice and equality erected adorned with the “Jewels of Liberty.” OFFICIAL ROSTER OF THE DISTRICT GRAND LODGE No. 17 of Kansas and Nebraska jur- isdiction of the G.

NEW YORK PLANS MEET FOR WORLD'S BROAD JUMP CHAMP Butler Breaks French Broad Jump Record. SO eee CODA nie reaae ore rae eS an New York, July 27—A_ monster athletic meet in which the victorious American army athletes returning from France can participate upon their arrival in New York, may be ar- ranged by the Amateur Athletic Un- ion—a sort of welcome home meet. According to letters just received by Frederick W. Rubien, secretary treas- urer of the A. A. U., the members of the team are all very anxious to com- pete in such a meet here shortly after their arrival. The date of this meet will, of course, depend upon the team’s arrival here. Col. Thompson has promised to cable Secretary Rubien just when the team is expected to arrive in New York, and then the local A. A. U. head will set the date for the games. Every athletic fan is anxious to get a glimpse of Sol Butler, the Ameri- can broad jump champion, demon- strated to the world in the Inter-Al- lied meet that he is in a class by him- self and is today the best broad jumper in the world, when he leaped 24 feet 6 inches. How a Crab Grows. The crab's equivalent to the inter: nal bones of animals is its tough outer shell, which does not grow. The baby crab is forced to get rid of this tough confining person. So it breaks itself loose internally and then splits its old protecting home across the ex- treme back ridge, creeping out in that way. GUARANTEE. CLOTHING CO.

OMAHA --- ALL DRESS FOR THE WARM DAYS Apparel for Evening Gowns to Lingerie and Smocks in Comfortable Fabrics. WRAPS SHINE LIKE RAINBOWS Outer Garments Are of Silver and Gold Tissues and Collars Are of Fur— French Adont Ameri- The barbaric glitter of thinsel appears in many of this summer's evening gowns. One of these is made of checked silver cloth with squares in dull lead color contrasting with alternate ones that are in tones of bright burnished silver. So elaborate is this material in itself, observes a leading fashion correspondent, that it needs little trimming. Almost no bodice appears in this gown. There is a bit of front drapery and slender shoulder straps are hung with silver paillettes. In the back it is decollete to the belt. Sinuously slender, the skirt dips to one of the pointed and abbreviated trains that are so frequently seen this season. Silver cloth shimmering through jade green tulle also makes an effective evening dress. Young girls are wearing evening frocks of white, unrelieved by any color. Not the fluffy, frilly type of white dress such as the girl graduate chooses are these, but made of silk in the severest way possible, they depend entirely on their classic lines for great distinction. Wraps That Gleam Like Rainbow. Callot makes evening coats of silver and gold tissues and collars them with costly furs. Vying with these are evening wraps of silk resembling the rainbow in the brilliancy of their colorings and embroidered with gold and silver threads. The linings are even more brilliant. Large fur collars appear on all the summer evening wraps. Lace, which will be much used for mid-summer dinner dresses, is a welcome departure from the metallic cloths and wintry fabrics that we are using. To dine at a roof garden or other public place on a hot summer night nothing could be more suitable or comfortable than a frock of sheer black lace topped by a picturesque hat. These dresses should be plain and distinctive in their design, instead of the fussy, filmy creations that fashion has given us in past seasons. Wired Frocks Seem Like Cages. Lace lends itself well to the new flaring silhouette. I saw a frock of white georgette crepe that had a full black lace tunic gathered at the bottom to a white crepe foundation skirt Copyright underwood & underwood Midsummer Evening Gown of White Satin With a Sheen and Daintiness Which Cannot Help but Attract—Set Off by Rich Pearls and Streamer of Crimson Roses. and wired so as to appear like a cage. Sleeves of lace dresses may be short and tight, or three-quarter length and flowing. Necks, whether cut high or low in the back, are always open at the throat. With these dresses are worn large black hats of malines, horsehair or lace trimmed with jet, the jet being used to outline the pattern of the lace rather than as a decided trimming feature. Gloves may be worn with these short-sleeved gowns, but Paris says it is smarter to be gloveless. Evening slippers are of satin or silver cloth, either plain or brocaded; gold cloth slippers are seen no more. Gowns of metal brocades usually have THE MONITOR slippers made to match. Many of the new slippers have the large rhinestone buckles which are so becoming to slender feet. Tiny bronze buckles are smart on black slippers. These bronze buckles are worn, too, on street pumps of dull black leather. French Adopt Our Colonial Ideas The Colonial lines are featured extensively in the new slippers, even in those worn by Parisiennes. It seems strange that the French should adopt Colonial ideas in their new footwear, but this is just what they are doing. Even satin slippers are made after this fashion. Some of the new French slippers have straps across the ankles, but this style does not appeal to us. Three years ago Callot made much of the smock as a blouse, but it was not at that time taken up by American buyers. Now the casaque blouse is seen everywhere. It is worn even in sport things, and the old-time blouse that we tucked inside our skirts is disappearing over the horizon of fashion. These overblouses, sashed loosely either with their own material or with narrow moire ribbons in colors that © Western Newspaper Union This Creation of Beauty for Summer Wear is a Flambeau Smock of Exquisite Lavender Crepe Meteor, With Lavender Flowers Shading Into the Deeper Tones. give an opportunity to introduce charming color effects into our costume, are especially desirable for the unscored but somewhat mature figure, because they conceal the waistline, which, if defined, invariably makes women look older. There are different ways of belting these blouses. In some instances the belt or sash runs under the front of the blouse and comes out of the side seams to tie at the back, and at other times this method is reversed with the girdle tying in the front, and sometimes the girdle just encircles the outside of the blouse. A frock of unusual charm, and one that might easily be made at home, is of white chiffon flowered with pink roses. This is made like a front and back apron falling full length over an overskirt of plain white chiffon. These panels are bound with rose ribbons of a tone to blend with the flowers in the fabric and are tied together at intervals down the skirt by bows of the ribbon. Around the very low-cut neckline falls a bit of fine white lace shadowing a rose ribbon which ties under the lace at the front in a bow. The same treatment is carried out on the very short sleeves. The lace makes turnback cuffs under which goes the ribbon. The idea is very simple but clever. It is just the sort of little dress that, seen or described, makes you feel that you want to set to work and make one, because in every feminine heart is the creative clothes instinct, which, if fostered to any degree, is bound to find expression. Of the latest lingerie dresses that Paris has sent us the one-piece coral and white checked frock is fashioned of French muslin, a material closely resembling a fine volle. A deep fold, hand hemstitched at both top and bottom, makes the skirt appear as though it had an overskirt. The sleeves, patch pockets and blouse, too, are trimmed with hand hemstitching done in coral-colored thread. A particularly interesting feature of this dress is the new long-shouldered effect. Plain coral-colored material of the same shade forms the belt, cuffs and a collar which starts in the front and ties in a bow at the back of the neck. LINGERIE FROCK IS REVIVED Garments Made of Nets, Organdies, Georgettes, Chiffons, Crepes and Batistes for Crepes. The revival of the lingerie frock is an assured feature of summer. These frocks, made of sheer tissues such as nets, organdies, georgettes, chiffons, crepes and batistes, are most engaging, almost invariably combined with laces or embroideries and sometimes both. Some show beautiful hand embroideries or real laces, others machine-made laces or embroideries—the choice rests with the purse of the purchaser. Many all-lace afternoon frocks are being shown. Some are white and others are in colored laces and nets, the colors being the season's favorites—salmon, flesh, orchid, citron, straw and lade. Ribbon sashes are worn with most of these frocks. Parasols in chiffons or laces, together with lace or georgette hats, help to complete these beautiful frocks. To Be Made at Home. The KITCHEN CABINET Nothing is given for nothing in this world; there can be no true love even on your own side without devotion; devotion is the exercise of love, by which it grows.-R. L. Stevenson. HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS. When replacing papers in drawers to keep them firm, put a small sticker half on the paper and the other half on the drawer. When setting dishes on ice, use old can rubbers to keep them from slipping. A little sand in a small top-heavy vase will make it quite stable. Fill salt and pepper shakers with an orange spoon or make a paper funnel, which may be used more quickly. A piece of macaroni placed in a berry pie when put in the oven will save the loss of the good juice, as the macaroni will serve as a chimney for the juice to boll up in. Grease the cork of the glue bottle, so that it will not be glued in when it is wanted. A piece of ice held in the mouth a moment before disagreeable medicine is to be taken, will dull the sense of taste. Keep on your desk a list of things to do—calls, letter-writing and household tasks; as they are done, cross off. It is a most satisfactory way of knowing what is accomplished during the week or month. The same method is a good one to use in the kitchen; various things are forgotten that, with the list before one, will spur on the worker. A camp chair that will slip under the table, out of the way or can be hung from a hook, is a great convenience in a kitchen with small space. A room market basket with a strong, well-fastened handle, makes a fine bed for the small child when traveling, and one in which it may be carried with its belongings. The basket is picked up and carried without disturbing the baby or exposing him to the weather. Carry a package of courtplaster of different colors. This may be used when traveling to mend a garment or stocking in an emergency. Transplant a few asters and other favorite flowers in the garden after the vegetables are gone. In the fall they will be pleasant to look at. Kitchen aprons of unbleached cotton made with a good fitting style are most desirable, as they may be boiled and kept white. Nellie Maxwell Much Wastage of Potatoes. The annual potato crop of the United States is around 400,000,000 bushels. Government statistics show that of this at least 75,000,000 bushels are lost. This wastage is due to the culls, rotting and freezing of potatoes in shipment and the lack of nearby markets.
