COLORED WOMEN ARE IN CONTROL OF THE SITUATION Admitted That Race Women Alons Will Increase Normal Republican Vote by More Than 80,000—Thousands of White Women Will Also Vote for the Republican Nominees. LEXINGTON, KY., Sept. 9.-The race issue is cropping out in Kentucky politics as the fall campaign goes on. Although the league of nations and Article 10 may engage the attention of national orators and the slush fund claims put forward by Governor Cox obscure it for a time, there are evidences on the horizon in this state that the issue that may overshadow the others in prominence is the vote of the colored women. The focus of the Kentucky fight lies in the women's vote of 638,000. In most presidential elections here in former years the vote has been divided almost evenly, although usually democratic by a slight margin, except that Edwin P. Morrow, republican nominee, carried the state by 40,000 and won the governorship. Usually, however, a few thousand votes have decided the victor. The democrats realize their chances for a win here this fall can be swept aside if the republicans get much of an "edge" on the situation. Eighty thousand colored women will be added to the poll list, all of whom are certain to vote republican. The question, therefore, of how Kentucky will go, is up to the white women. Democrats say to win it will be necessary for the white democrats to induce the white women to go to the polls by telling the white women that unless they vote the colored women, who are certain to be brought out by the republicans, will express the sentiments of Kentucky womanhood. Being a "border state," Kentucky is unlike the "solid south" in respect to its Negro vote. Here it is counted and that is the factor that keeps Kentucky from being normally rock-ribbed democratic.

PEACE NOT IN SIGHT. London, Sept. 9.—Immediate peace in the Russo-Polish theater of war is not in sight, it was declared at the foreign office. Foreign officials said they expected from six to eight more weeks of fighting before peace is concluded. SECRETARY BAKER HEAPS INSULT ON COLORED SOLDIERS Recent Letter Contains the Virus of Race Hatred of True Southern Make. COOLIDGE FOR COLORED TROOPS Republican Governor is Turned Down by Wilson's Manikin in Recent Decision. Boston, Mass., Sept. 9.—Woodrow Wilson's administration answers the appeal of Harding and Coolidge for a square deal to the colored soldiers with an insult to those brave black boys who defended the flag, an insult so fragrant that it can be scarcely believed. The recent letter written by Secretary Baker to Governor Coolidge, when the latter asked for the pre-war status of colored enlisted men in the Massachusetts National Guard is doubly injurious because the secretary of war is attempting to inoculate the North with the deadly race prejudice of the South. But let the Boston Chronicle tell the story. Under the head of "Colonel Baker and the Colored-Soldier," that paper says: "Company L of the 6th Massachusetts National Guard has been in existence for nearly half a century, during which time it has responded to the calls of the government with alacrity. During the great world war it lost its identity, as it formed a nucleus around which was built a combatant regiment of colored soldiers. Several or the majority of its members, covered themselves with glory in the sanguinary engagements in which they participated. Colored soldiers of other national guards also performed ad- OMAHA, NEBRASKA, SEPTEMBER 9, 1920 mirable service in the great war of democracy. These men fought with the hope of practical democracy. Well and good; the fighting ended and the warriors returned home. They looked forward to the time when they shall again be organized and regain their identity. Like a bolt from the blue comes a mandate from the secretary of war to the effect that no colored troops in Massachusetts be placed on the roster of the National Guard as combatant troops. Enroll them as hewers of wood and drawers of water primarily, and if the emergency should arise—a breach is made in our battle line—we will use our colored pioneer units. "In a letter to Governor Coolidge, who protested against this nefarious and unjust ruling, the secretary appeals to the loyalty of the colored people of Massachusetts to be content with the pioneer units as follows: "It is believed that the colored citizens of Massachusetts should be reminded that it is the better part of patriotism to volunteer for such service as may be required, rather than to attempt to lay down conditions which the war department must meet before service can be expected of them." "The secretary would do well to be loyal himself to the principles of democracy and withdraw his heinous mandate with regard to colored men joining only pioneer units." It is indeed a curious anomaly that the democratic administration should attempt such reprisals against the colored soldiers upon the historic and sacred soil where Crispus Attucks shed his blood as the first to die for American independence, the home of the famous 54th Massachusetts regiment in the Civil war, its martyrred Colonel Shaw and William Lloyd Garrison and Wendell Philips. IN CONFERENCE WITH NATIONAL COMMITTEE (By Associated Negro Press.) Chicago, Sept. 9.—Last week, representatives from more than a score of states which the consensus of opinion terms "fighting ground," were in Chicago at the national republican headquarters in conference with the leaders who are guiding the affairs of the republican national committee. The representatives came from the states of Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Michigan, West Virginia, Colorado, Nebraska, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and other states. They all reported enthusiasm in behalf of the election of the republican ticket. An advisory committee has been selected made up of representatives from all the various states, and their duty will be to consult with the managers and keep the national headquarters informed on the sentiment in their communities. ORGANIZE COOPERATIVE STORE Galveston, Texas.—A co-operative store capitalized at $5,000 has been perfected in 500 shares at $5 each, and all subscribed for, in this city. The institution is headed by the Rev. A. W. Williams, president; W. B. Lewis, vice president, and William Ellis and Charles Harris, secretary and treasurer, respectively. BIGGEST COAL LAND DEAL EVER RECORDED Pittsburgh, Pa., Sept. 9.—What is said to be the biggest coal land deal ever recorded in the United States has just been consummated in the purchase by J. A. Paisley, president of the Valley Camp Coal company of the Cochran tract of 13,608 acres in Monanghela county, West Virginia, at approximately $500 an acre, or a total of nearly $7,000,000. DISMISS SUIT TO STOP SUFFRAGE PROCLAMATION Washington, Sept. 9.—The application for an injunction against the issuance of the suffrage proclamation, filed in the supreme court of the District of Columbia by the American Constitutional League, has been dismissed. A NEGRO NEWSPAPER IN EVERY NEGRO HOME Is Urged by Robert Rusa Moton, Principal of Tuskogee and President of National Negro Business League, in Speech Before Recent Convention. EDUCATOR PAYS TRIBUTE TO SERVICES OF PRESS Foremost in Fight for Right and Justice—Have Advocated Business Cooperation — Persistent, Patient and Far-Sighted Race Newspapers Justify Popular Support. PHILADELPHIA, PA., Sept. 9:—An earnest plea for the support of Negro newspapers in America was made by Dr. Robert R. Moton of Tuskogee Institute in an address delivered before the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia. He said in part: "We must make up our minds pretty clearly that we have got to stand behind our newspapers. These publications have fought our battles for right and justice and they have rarelly omitted an act or overlooked an opportunity directed toward co-operation in business or among business men. "They have urged our people to support Negro business enterprises and have pointed out that the indispensable road to progress is the opening of business avenues for the young men and young women of our race. No group among our people has been more persistent, more patient, more far sighted, more self-sacrificing than have the publishers of our newspapers. "There should be at least one Negro newspapers in every Negro home of this country. Without such public support our newspapers cannot expand or render the service we expect of them. Besides subscriptions, Negro business men must advertise in Negro papers. Advertising makes business, both: for the advertiser and for the newspaper. The benefits are mutual; the co-operation should be mutual. "In this connection I would like to see a movement started among these newspapers in an effort to secure advertising of the larger kind. Let the National League stand with the Press Association in an effort of this kind among the large publishers. We can perfect an organization something like the Southern Newspaper Publishers Association, with officers in the great advertising centers like New York and Chicago, and have earnest, honest, aggressive young men to present to advertisers and advertising agencies the buying power of the Negro race, and the advertising power of the Negro press. "I am confident that some such effort will be productive of good and effectual results. It would also give the race a new point of contact with the business men of the white race, as well as effect a new appreciation of the business men of our own race. "Negro newspapers have given most loyal support to the government in all its publicity work in connection with the war program, and from a purely commercial angle, they have demonstrated that they can carry a message in an effective way to the twelve million Negroes of this country." EUROPE'S WIDOW TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION Ne York, Sept. 9—The courts have decided that Mrs. James Reese Europe, widow of the late lieutenant-bandmaster who was stabbed to death by one of the drummers of his band in Boston, is entitled to compensation under the state compensation act. It was stated that the deceased lost his life while in discharge of his duties of making a livelihood. Lieutenant Noble Sissle, of this city who was an associate of Lieutenant Europe, has completed a biography of Europe's life which he expects to publish in a short time. Vol. VI.

CHICAGO'S FIRST NEGRO POLICEMAN, 67, RETIRES Chicago, Sept. 9.—Martin Van Buren French, 67, first and oldest Negro policeman, resigned last Tuesday after thirty-seven years' service. He recalled his many battles with white thugs in the Desplaines street district when he first traveled post. "They resented my color, but I guess my work was all right, because former Inspector Shea said I was the best policeman he had," said the veteran. HARDING REFUSES TO RESORT TO ABUSE Maintains That False Appeals Are Harmful to Any Cause, They Do Not Serve Truth, Nor Meet Requirements of National Discrim Clamor and Insincerity Drag People Into Mire. Marion, Ohio, Sept. 9.—A determination to guard against "clamor, insincerity and abuse" in his campaign for the presidency was express by Senator Harding Saturday in a talk to a marine band which serenaded his residence during a visit here on recruiting duty. The nominee said he felt it a duty to be tolerant of those who differ with him and not to drag the attention of the people "into the mire." "I assume that your coming here," said Senator Harding, "is due in large part to the fact that I am a candidate for the presidency. It is because I feel more deeply about it every day that I want to tell you, American citizens, and through you as many Americans as possible, my idea of the responsibilities of a candidate for the highest office the people can bestow. "I have said to myself: 'You owe it to the citizens of America to preserve the attitude and the mind of one who serves as well as he can.' As I see it, I owe it to the men and women of America to guard against all pretense. As I see it, I owe it to them to state fully and clearly my beliefs with all the sincerity there is in me. "As I see it, I must not, as I seek to gain votes for my party, yield to the temptation which often comes to men who are candidates, to make false appeals and appeals which, though they might be successful at the moment, do not serve truth nor do not meet the requirements of our national dignity." LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! HOLDS HIGHEST RANK ON ACTIVE LIST Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Now Ranking Officer of Color in the United States Army — Returned from Philippines Detailed to Tuskegee. BEGAN MILITARY CAREER IN SPANISH-AMERICAN WAR Subsequently Enlisted in Famous Ninth Cavalry and Rose by Promotions and Competitive Examinations Open to Enlisted Men to Present High Rank. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 9.— Lieutenant Colonel Benjamin O. Davis, a colored citizen of the District of Columbia, holds the highest rank of any man of his race on the active list of the army of the United States. Colonel Charles Young, also colored, who was graduated from the United States Military Academy, was retired several months ago on account of disability. He was the only colored man who ever reached the grade of colonel in the army. Although retired, he is still on duty as military attache at the United States legation, Monrovia, Liberia. Colonel Davis was born in this city, studied in the Mott school and was graduated from the colored High school. He began his military career as a first lieutenant in the United States volunteer infantry in July, 1898, and was honorably mustered out in March, 1899. He then enlisted in the Ninth Regular Cavalry, and in two years was successfully promoted to corporal and ssuadron sergeant-major. As a result of a competitive examination open to enlisted men, he was appointed second lieutenant, Tenth United States Cavalry, in February, 1901. Since then he has served with either the Ninth or Tenth cavalry regiments in campaigns in the Philippines and on the Mexican border, except for a short detail as inspector instructor of the First Separate Battalion of the District National Guard. He reached the grade of captain in December, 1915, a temporary major in August, 1917, and a lieutenant-colonel in the national army in May, 1918. A few days ago he was appointed lieutenant-colonel of cavalry. He is now at his home, 1830 Eleventh street, on leave of absence, having just returned from a tour of duty in the Philippines. He has been detailed as professor of military science and tactics at the Tusko-gee Institute, Alabama. 2 MANY NEGROES HAVE MOVED NORTH TO CAST FIRST VOTE Figures Indicate That at Least 300,000 Must be Figured in November. WERE DENIED BALLOT IN SOUTH Having Been Under the Ban of the Democratic Party They Are All Now Republicans. Chicago, Sept. 9.—Carefully digested figures indicate that there will be 300,000 first voters among the colored people who have migrated from the South to northern labor centers, attracted by better wages, enlarged school facilities and the freedom of thought and action denied them by the solidly democratic South. It has been the rule in political campaigns to conduct a department for first voters, but this applied always to citizens who had arrived at the voting age of 21. This year the remarkable precedent is presented wherein tens of thousands of voters, granted the right by the constitution of the United States, but robbed of the greatest privilege of citizenship by the supporters of Candidate Cox in the Southland, many of whom are 35 years of age and even 50, are casting a vote for the first time in their lives. It is needless to say that these men and women, who have felt the ban that the democrats have placed upon them, will vote the republican ticket. There have been cases where colored people in the North, far removed from the miserable race hatred of the South, and listening to the siren song of the northern democrat, that there is a difference between their party in the North and that in the South, have so forgotten themselves to vote the democratic ticket, but it is safe to say that these people recently coming from the South will never be caught in that mesh. The system of voting, which has grown upon the northern Negro by custom is not so familiar to the people who have recently come to communities on this side of the Mason and Dixon line, and the work of instructing the old citizens, who have journeyed far to enjoy their rights, should be the labor of love among those of the race in the North, who have always enjoyed the great privilege. Special precinct schools will be established by state committees, having jurisdiction over labor centers where this new vote is located. It is held by the managers of the republican party that the responsibility of restoring the ballot to these colored people is largely theirs, in as much as the principle upon which the constitutional right to vote was granted to them fifty years ago is one of the foundation stones of republicanism. Every colored man who has resided in the North, or born in the North, shares this responsibility with the republican party, and it should be his duty to instruct every colored man who has come from the South during the last four years how to register and how to vote. First, it should be essential to learn whether he has the qualifications; whether he has lived for sufficient time in the state and county. Take him to the republican authorities in any city and they will help. First of all the republican party wants these men and women who have been denied the franchise in the South to have the right to exercise it, and second, naturally, where the full qualifications exist, it wants them to cast their vote for Harding and Coolidge. Struggling for years under ban of democratic oppression, the industrial necessities that opened a Canaan of equal opportunity for the exodus of southern freedmen is a great boon to them, and it behooves their more fortunate brothers in the North to assist them in every way to the realization of the sacred promises of the constitution. KOREAN WOMEN PLEAD TO U. S. FOR AUD AGAINST JAPS Honolulu, Sept. 9.—The Korean National Association of Honolulu has received copies of the documents presented by Koreans to the American congressmen touring the far east. The plea of Korean women to America said in part: "Day and night we will scheme to regain our lost land. In the minds of our children we will instill hatred for the Japanese. We ourselves will offer everything for liberty and independence. We would rather die and be free spirits of Korea than live and be subjects of the mikado." The writing denounced the report of a Korean plot to bomb-or kidnap the congressmen in order to create friction between Japan and the United States as a Japanese canard. "Only from God on high and from you on earth can we get help. Will you hearken to our dying call?" said a statement by the Korean provisional congress addressed to Americans. "Korea is the key to the solution of the eastern question. If you speak, your voice will be heard. America and Europe will be aroused." KAISER'S PETS ARE IN SAD PREDICAMENT KAISER'S PETS ARE IN SAD PREDICAMENT Former Privileged Officers of Wilhelm Have Difficulty in Finding Work. No one in Germany sighs more fervently for "the good old days" when the kaiser held sway than the former army officer. Forced off the government pay roll, untrained for work other than soldiering, and so generally disliked by the population that he has difficulty in finding any kind of employment, the officer's lot in democratic Germany is a hard one. His prewar world, in which he strutted about as the privileged pet of his emperor, has been utterly destroyed. A former officer, dolefully discussing his plight, remarked that the expression once current in the United States, "There's no good Indian but a dead Indian," applied precisely to the German public's attitude toward the officer class. Private soldiers bear out this statement. "At the beginning of the war," one said, "the troops were fond of their officers, who ate the same food, carried their own packs and shared the hardships of the men. But most of the regular officers were quickly killed off, and those left were sent away from the lines for staff and other duties. "Their places were taken by reserves, who were an entirely different lot. They had to have special kitchens and milk and plenty of wine. They refused to march with the troops, always riding in automobiles and making the men carry their packs. They were bullies and tyrants and the men grew to hate them. The civilian population felt the same way. I was in Belgium when the armistice was signed, and when we withdrew to the Rhineland the people there were willing enough to provide lodgings for the privates, but they refused to have the officers in their homes." In a number of cases ex-officiers have found themselves inadvertently applying for work to the very privates they once commanded. These former soldiers, business men and shopkeepers, take keen delight, it is said, in turning down their old superiors. After the first revolution it was a risky thing for an officer to appear on the streets in uniform. They were emboldened by the Kapp coup last March, and since then have been showing themselves in increasing numbers, especially student reserve officers, who are easily identified by their pale faces, marked by saber cuts received in duels. ```markdown ``` Photo by Western Newspaper Union Mrs. John Henry Hammond, president of the women's Roosevelt Memorial association (left), with Mrs. A.

Abundia Rivera, forty-two years old, mother of 26 children, only one of whom is living, was revealed at Los Angeles as one of the most unfortunate mothers in the history of the county. According to the report filed by Dr. Margaret Barr of the Los Angeles county health department, 25 of this mother's children have died before they reached the age of one year. The last child is several years old and is said to be healthy. Discovery of the remarkable case was made by Dor. Barr in her work in the interest of better babies, which is being directed by Dr. J. L. Pomeroy, head of the department. Mrs. Rivera was found living near San Gabriel with her third husband, who is only twenty-two years old. Prayer Reward of Boy Finding Sum.

GOOD AND BAD HANDSMENTAL STUDY The influence of the physical conformation of the bow hand and the string hand on actual playing cannot be overlooked. There are no 'good' or "bad" bow hands or string hands, unless they are deformed. There are only "good" and "bad" heads. By this I mean that the finest development of technic comes from the head, not from the hand. Quickness of thought and action is what distinguishes the easy player from the clumsy player. Students should develop mental study even of technical details. This, of course, in addition to the physical practice. For this mental study is of the highest importance in developing Clarence Desdunes the student so that he can gain the mastery of detail of which I have al- ready spoken. Concerts undoubtedly have great value in developing the student technically and mentally, but too often they have a directly contrary effect. I think there is a very doubtful benefit to be derived from the "concert" habit as illustrated in New York, London or other music centers. The student attending concerts sometimes try to make two or three a day. This habit of cramming has a tendency to dwarf the development of real appreciation, as the student under these conditions can little appreciate true work of art when his head is so crammed full of technic that he wears out his faculties of concentration until listening to music becomes a mechanical mental process. The daily attending of concerts, to my mind, has an absolutely pernicious effect on the student. My next subject—Technic: Some Hints to the Serious Student.

GOVERNOR CALVIN COOLIDGE DOOR OF HOPE Forged American Fal Against His Was Taken By Fell ignored the time of war XOX X SOME of the hats of midsummer might be inspired by thistle-down or the exquisite airy globe that follows the flower of the dandelion—they are so light and so cool-looking. Only the sheerest and most lace-like materials go into their making, mere mists of fabrics in pure white. Their trimmings are often all-white also; the cold but lovely ghosts of gay flowers and fruits and grains that adorn their colorful rivals. Occasionally a little pale color appears in ribbon or other trimming on these fringe-looking white shapes but designers like best to make them all in white. Hair braid, malnails and the filimest laces over the finesse wire frames, make the majority of the white dress hats for midsummer, and white ribbon in the narrower widths appears to lend them just enough of substance and luster to make them pass as hend coverings. The group of four hats shown here reveals the success with which millinery artists deal in these materials; they indicate something of the great diversity they create in styles. There are two dressy models, one with round crown and sweeping, upturned brim in which the frame is covered with malnails. Narrow ribbon tied in loops midway of the brim makes a beautiful facing and fine white lace-drapes the top. The other wide brimmed hat has a crown of hair Clad for Outdo THE heart of the tapper rejoices in many smocks, blouses and top-jackets for outdoor wear, that range all the way from plain white, with a little inconspicuous decoration, to vivid colors that form backgrounds for even more vivid cut-out figures posed against them. Among the latter there are slip-over smocks, with short kimono sleeves, in heavy cotton weaves that are shown in orange, green, rose, blue. With figures cut from contrasting colors and black or colored yarns, their makers use them as an artist might a canvas, posing brilliant parrots or gaudy flowers on them. When these figures turn out unexpectedly to be pockets to every one's surprise, the joy of youthful wearers is complete, for it is a fine thing to have one's high spirits visualized in clothes. A belted smock in blue cotton shown in the picture above is the successor of the middy blouse and plays the same role in the wardrobe, but it is a bit more graceful in lines. Its odd collar and flaring cuffs lend it interest, and they are supplemented by slashes over the hips and the management of the belt which slips through slides. Lest we overlook this cleverness, the designer has put small sprays of embroidered flowers at each side. A pretty and demure dress of gingham, for the home, is shown in the second picture, and hardly needs de- braid and a brim of malnes with two scant ruffles of Val lace as a finish. Picot-edged ribbon about the crown, wanders over the brim edge and ends in a flat bow in the under brim. A half wreath of grasses and flowers completes it. Hair braid crown with very narrow ribbon in rows, and a brim of ribbon loops make the small hat trimmed with tiny roses, while snowdrops and malines cover the rolling brim of the hat having a round crown of hair braid. Jasmin Bottomly New Panama Hat Style. From England comes the vogue for panama hats trimmed in a new and decidedly unique way. These hats are hand-painted in patchwork or unusual designs or entirely painted in one color, faced with matching chiffon and trimmed with folds—bands or scarfs of the chiffon combined with patent leather or oilcloth strips. Velvet for Fall and Winter Velvet, it is already reported from Paris, will be used extensively for suits and wraps this coming autumn and winter. oor and Indoor scription. These small, plain checks are very fashionable this season, for both grown people and all the younger generation. Organdie lends them daintiness. It appears here in a fichu and in little, narrow frills on the cuffs. Often a sash is made of it, but in the dress pictured there is a wide girdle made of a bias strip of gingham. These garments are of the kind that women make at home, and the materials for making them are to be found everywhere; yet they appear in all the best displays in centers of fashion where their good qualities are fully appreciated. Julia Bottinly Children's Hats Match Frocks. Designers of children's clothes show many little frocks and hats to match for wear during the summer. The materials so employed include gingham, calico, etc., as well as the lighter weight voles and organdles. Late Handkerchief Style. The latest thing in a handkerchief is one made of flowered chiffon. It has a narrow hem or is hemstitched. This handkerchief comes in a variety of designs and colors. THE MONITOR THE P OF CH THE PARIS OF CHINA Temple of the Five Hundred Gods, Canton. (Prepared by the National Geographic So- c. city Washington, D.C.) The city is 70 mile CANTON is the Paris and Bunker Hill of China. The Chinese say that he who has not lived in Canton knows not luxury. Equally true is it that the American of lowliest estate who 'as not seen Canton knows not poverty. In contrast to ancient temples, and palatial homes surrounded with park-like gardens, are the beggars at their gates, covered with sores and whining for a pittance; the leaden-eyed porters, straining under their burden of humanity or baggage; women haggling for a pigeon-egg-sized lump of bean curd, half a dozen peanuts, a dozen roasted beans, or a strip of meat the size of a rasher of bacon as a special luxury for the family dinner. A five and ten-cent store would be a Tiffany's for many well-to-do Canton families. The cent, now a sort of war tax annoyance to us, would have to be subdivided for the Chinaman. His smallest coin, the cash, normally worth one-twentieth of an American cent, was too large in some places, and bamboo tokens are recognized by tradesmen as worth half a cash. Yet there is luxury, expressed not only in homes, commerce, and business structures, but in products which make Canton the art center of China. Its lacquer and sandalwood articles are unique, its ivory carving unsurpassed, its pottery, gem setting, and fans, from the palm leaves we buy for a few pennies to the ivory-handled feather ones the tourist bargains for at $25 or $35, are world famous. Revolutionary Center of China. Patriotically Canton has several points of contact with the American. Most likely the firecrackers which disturbed our early-morning slumbers on the Fourth of July came from there, as well as the fan we carried to the community demonstration later. Canton was the birthplace of the revolution in 1911 that ended the Manchu dynasty, and has been the storm center of other revolutionary activities since. Except for a few newer streets, it still is true that Canton is a "city of a million without a wheel or a beast of burden." Strangely ancient in some respects, Canton long has practiced some of the expedients which are being urged as experiments in western lands. So far as her business district is concerned, the city is thoroughly "zoned." The shopper may find practically all the city has to offer in wood carving on one street, in silks and embroideries on another, in jewels and precious stones on another. During the coal shortage in our eastern states in recent winters, efforts were made to do cooking at central kitchens and serve food "ready to eat" at homes in the neighborhood. Long has the fuel shortage been acute in Canton, driving the housewife to chaff, twigs, litter, for her cooking, and making cooking and vending on the streets a recourse of the poor rather than a fad with the rich. The Chinese "hot dog man" has a greater variety, but smaller portions, than our own, and he is not to be recommended from the standpoint of sanitation. Fighting the Plague Human life inevitably becomes cheaper in the midst of congestion, suffering and poverty. Early efforts to fight the bubonic plague were gravely met with the argument that there were too many mouths to feed, anyway, in Canton, and the plague, like the typhoons, were providential for those who escaped. Humane science finally won the day, and the tin boxes on street corners are not to be mistaken for trash receptacles. They are for dead rats, which are collected and burned. The tornadoes wreak peculiar havoc because of the peculiar dwelling place of some 125,000 of Canton's inhabitants—on houseboats. These boat dwellers, the Tan-min, are social paralhs. Their women formerly furnished the "singing girls" on the "flower boats," floating haunts of the underworld, which were burned several years ago. Their men engage in the river traffic that is an essential feature of Canton's commercial life. --- ARIS INA The city is 70 miles up the Pearl river from the sea. Naming the kinds of junks that ply about Canton requires as much knowledge as picking the makes of automobiles that spin along Riverside drive or Michigan avenue. The "slipper boats" are recognizable because of a striking resemblance to their European-given nickname; the "Canton sampans" are numerous; the two-masted passenger junks are the Canton-Hongkong ferries, but the most curious of the many other kinds, perhaps, are the che-ting, operated-by Chinamen stepping on a treadmill in the rear. These were invented by an European who sensed that man power is the cheapest and most plentiful to be had in China—land where labor-utilizing rather than labor-saving devices plque the inventor. The gutters are in the middle of the street, in Canton. The divers down by the water front go in feet first. The Canton bon-bon is pit-tan, eggs preserved in rice hulls, ashes and lime. If a man has a beautiful yard or garden, he hides it by a high wall; but once the visitor breaks through this privacy, in company with a trusted guide, he may find himself not only on the premises but conducted through an exclusive home as if it were a public building, and the household members go serenely about their own affairs while they, too, are described and explained by the cordial friend. Here is a hint of the origin of the Chinatown tours in our great cities. Temples and Legends. If the struggle for existence suggests materialism, one need only visit the temples in Canton, to glimpse the delicate, subtle, and daring imagination of the seemingly literal, cautious Chinaman. The "Flowery Pagoda," with the copper pillar topped by a golden ball, is where a famed Indian missionary once spent a night, and so fragrant was his presence that the tower still is free from mosquitoes. To the "Five Fairies Temple" once came five genii, wearing coats of different colors and riding goats of different colors. Each fairy brought a stalk of grain, which was given to the people with the benediction "Dwell here in perpetual peace, and never know famine." The fairies departed, but their steeds turned to stone, and remain to this day in the temple. A more mechanical curiosity is the tower where time is measured by water dripping from four copper vessels, arranged at different levels. The hills about are famed no less for their legends than for the terraces where the ginger root is grown that is preserved by the Cantonese. One peak is crowned by a rock that sways when spoken to in angry tones; there is a stream where some Oriental Enoch drank a potion of iris leaves and, becoming immortal, was wafted away to heaven. There is a chamber of commerce at Canton, but the characteristic industrial bodies are the gullds, 72 in number, iron bound, self-perpetuating organizations, of great power both economically and politically. The Chinese merchant and artisan is an apt example of the tremendous forces of inertia, or precedent, if you like, in Chinese life. He carves, brews, or sells gold foli, not only because his father or grandfather did, but because his remote ancestors, when Columbus sailed westward or Marco Polo toured east, did that very thing in just that way. Quality, not variety, is the merit he seeks, and the guilds define the exact sphere of their members minutely. There is the Guild of Dealers in Cloth Interwoven with Metal Threads of Various Colors, the Guild of Dealers in Kerosene Lamps, the Guild of Dealers in Hand-Reeled Silk, and the Guild of Dealers in Liquor Brewed from Rice. The honesty of the Chinese merchant is proverbial. In Canton lived Hon Qua, a millionaire, who furnished a conspicuous example of this quality. When a firm which owed large sums to foreigners became bankrupt, Hon Qua headed a list of Canton business men who made good the debt, on the ground that Chinese credit must not be tarnished. ```markdown ``` O Recommended to the Seamstress FASHION IT IS, or it ought to be, a great occasion for the very little girl when she arrives at the splendor of her first silk dress. With it she has responsibilities thrust upon her; she must be taught to be careful to keep it clean and thus comes the beginning of her training in neatness and the unfailing charm of daintiness. Fashion decrees silk coats and frocks for little malds by the time their third birthday dawns and has selected sprightly taffeta as the prettiest and most practical of weaves for them, although neither crepe de chine nor georgette are denied them. But these softer silks are used in light colors for dress-up times while taffeta is sturdier and extends its usefulness to coats and dresses that will stand more wear. Taffeta in dark blue makes the charming little frock shown in the picture on a little girl of four. It has a quaint flavor of old times (which it is easy to achieve in taffeta) with its short baby waist, round neck and wide, ruffled collar. The bottom of the waist is finished with a frill and band of the silk, the band having slashes in it for a narrow ribbon girdle to slip through. Short ruffled sleeves are caught up at the elbow and tied with ribbon. White sox and Recommended to THE fairly efficient seamstress who has what the French call "a sense of clothes," can take a small allowance in money and dress much better on it than richer women who lack good taste. Also she gets more pleasure out of her achievements and there are a good many women in this favored land who have the knack of doing much with little. Thanks to the wide publicity given by newspapers to all matters of dress in centers of fashion no American need ever be behind the times in styles. Two afternoon gowns shown in the picture here, may be recommended to the seamstress who undertakes to make her own dresses. They offer a choice between long, straight lines for those who admire the slim silhouette and curved ones for those who are too slender, or those who find unbroken lines unbecoming to them. Tricolette with an open or drop-stitch stripe, makes the handsome straight line dress. The design is simple but original, achieving a sleeveless jacket effect in the body which slips over an underbodice carrying the sleeves. Wide satin ribbon, in a soft quality, makes a short crushed band across the front, simulating a girdle, and square buttons are set at each side where it terminates. The elbow sleeves are finished with turn back cuffs that employ a band of rib- black slippers are in keeping with this little affair of other days. Either taffeta or cotton will be successful in the pretty embroidered frock shown. It is scalloped at the bottom and set on to a narrow yoke also cut in wide scallops. A very simple stitchery like feather or cat stitching runs parallel with the scallops and little rose buds are embroidered above it. The same decoration appears on turned back cuffs that finish elbow sleeves and there is a sash of the dress material slipped through slashes cut in the body of the frock. Julia Bottomly Metal brocades are prominent in purses, although very little silver brocade is used. A new vanity case is of green and black metal brocade and has a frame and ball clasp of ivory stained to give it an old appearance. One side of this case is fitted with a mirror and a pocket for one's handkerchief and the other side with a powder puff and lip stick. the Seamstress bon and buttons in the same way. There is a very simple neck with sall- or collar at the back. A plain satin underskirt and bodice supply the foundation for the attractive frock of georgette, which might be made of volle. It features the new neck mode—high at back and open in front, and very full ruching of plaited silk with pinked edges, at the bottom of a full, short tunic. The girdle is a folded length of blas satin. Julia Bottomly Organdle and novelty cotton frocks are good looking. Imported embroidered volles dotted in vari-color are given the splash of interest by a vivid sash of organdle with butterfly loops and trailing sash ends. Another treatment which is very effectively used in these volles and in the organdle frocks is two-inch insertions of shirred tulle or of tucked organdle in a contrasting shade, which gives a much hand-worked effect than the insertion of narrow laces. Yellow organdle is used in this way with gray organdle and white tulle in the pale colored frocks. THE MONITOR A National Weekly Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of Colored Americans. THE REV.

THE ASSOCIATED NUCLEO PROSE MEMBER OF FIRST IN SERVICE "STIRRING UP STRIFE." SOME months ago the United States Department of Justice investigated certain of our race newspapers which were under suspicion of stirring up strife between the races and proclaiming a doctrine of hatred against the white race. At that time, and the practice continues, the daily press of the country, with a few honorable exceptions, was carrying almost daily boxcar headlined articles of alleged crimes by Negroes against white women. Many of them were known to be lies at the time of their publication, the sole purpose being to pander to the sensational and crate adverse sentiment against colored Americans. This evil genius begot Negro-baiting mobs. These cowardly mobs were met by an unexpected resistance. They found that the would-be victims of their slaughter were ready to defend themselves. There MUST be a cause for this resistance. The southern solos saddled in seats of power at Washington sought the cause of this spirit of self-defense yclept by them "Stirring up strife between the races." They speedily reached the conclusion that it must be due to the pernicious teaching of "the radical Negro newspapers" which had the courage to demand justice for the race. The Department of Justice would therefore investigate the Negro press and if the suspicions of these astute gentlemen were verified these dangerous publications would be suppressed. Some one was kind enough to report that The Monitor was one of these dangerous publications. A courteous official from the Department came to investigate us. We cheerfully placed our files at his disposal. He spent several hours going over them; indeed, as he frankly admitted to us—perhaps it was unprofessional for him to do so—he found much to interest him and was pleased with our modest publication. Evidently we were given a clean bill of health, for we heard nothing more from the Department of Justice. We, however, frankly told the investigator that the Department of Justice ought to center its investigation upon the daily press and compel it to eliminate its damning and damnable hatred—breathing anti-Negro propaganda. Apropos of our suggestion at that time we call attention to the following excerpts from a widely circulated Texas magazine and ask why the proper authorities do not suppress publications of this character which persist in manufacturing race hatred? Here are choice samples from this San Antonio publication by the "superior race": "I care not a snap for my finger what others may do or think, when I state that I would not exchange the honor and safety of one pure American white woman for the life of every Negro in the United States. If this be treason, I want the nigger-lovers and back-alley coon chasers to fly at it." "The Negro responds to nothing but brute force. As a slave he knew that there would be no delay in severe punishment for disobedience. Therefore, it was fear—and fear only—that ever made him worth a damn." "Education will remove the bray from the jackass in the springtime, sooner than it will remove the lecherous instinct born with the African. Nature put it there, and it is going to remain." It bespeaks a rather low state of mentality and morality among readers who are pleased with such coarseness, crudeness and viciousness as these excerpts would indicate. Among such the stirring up of strife is easy. "OWN YOUR HOME." WE do not know who the author of this is, for the name was not given; but what is here so well said expresses so accurately and fully the advice we would give Monitor readers that we pass it on to them: JUST as soon as it is possible for you to do so, buy a house, the ground it stands on, and as much land around it as your business, convenience, or taste may require. A home can never be all that it should be to you and yours, unless you own it. This is doubtless impossible to a great multitude who will read this letter, but let not such be discouraged. A beautiful home life may be developed, even by a tenant at will; though the security and fixedness of proprietorship are greatly tributary to home's permanent influences. If the home is owned, see that its exterior represents you faithfully. What you cannot afford in architecture, you can supply in vines and flowers. The interior should receive the impress of all the order, neatness, taste, and ingenuity that are in you. Your home is the temple of your sweetest human love. It is in this temple that young immortals are born. It is here that characters are shaped into manhood and womanhood—the highest earthly estate. It is here that you are to work out the problem of your lives. It is a place of dignity. Therefore give it honor; make it beautiful; make it worthy! All this, however, only relates to the location—the shell of your home. The ordering of its internal life is of still greater importance. The greatest danger of home life springs from its familiarity. Kindred hearts, gathered at a common fireside, are far too apt to relax from the proprieties of social life. Careless language and careless attire are too apt to be indulged in when the eye of the world is shut off, and the ear of the world cannot hear. I counsel no stiffness of family etiquette—no sternness of family discipline—like that which prevailed in the olden time. The day is past for that, but the day for thorough respectfulness among the members of a home—the day for careful propriety of dress and address—will never pass. For it is here that the truest and most faultless social life is to be lived; it is here that such a life is to be learned. A home in which politeness reigns is a home from which polite men and women go out; and they go out directly from no other. WILL HISTORY REPEAT? GOVERNOR Cox started out on a 10,000 mile swing around the west Saturday on the same train the president did and within one day of the anniversary of that eventful trip made by Mr. Wilson in the interest of the League of Nations. Mr. Wilson succeeded in turning the public farther from the league than they were when he started. Our frank opinion is that Mr. Cox will excel the president in that he will force the public not only against the league, but the democratic party and its candidates. The people would rather have few promises that are possible of fulfillment than a world full of empty pledges impossible of achievement. WHICH PLAN IS BETTER? In reply to a questionnaire involving several of the most important and far-reaching questions concerning our nation, Governor Cox immediately replied: "My reply to every one of them is unequivocally yes." Senator Harding replied: "I have been very seriously considering the questions which you ask, but I would be unworthy of public confidence if I ventured to decide so important a question without the very fullest study." A certain democratic organ displayed in striking headlines its great pleasure in the position taken by Mr. Cox, saying: "Harding hesitates on a point. Cox gives immediate and unequivocal answer—Yes." We venture to ask, upon which of the two replies given to the engineers could the public best and most safely depend? Do not the people by this know it is the easiest thing in the world for Mr. Cox to answer affirmatively any question anybody may ask him? Harding thinks the thing over and decides on possibilities. HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON WE have had the pleasure of meeting and for two days being closely associated with Henry Lincoln Johnson, acknowledged facile princeps among our present-day political leaders. As we sat in the meetings over THE MONITOR which he presided with such ability, fairness and courteous consideration for all participants in the conference, our admiration for the man constantly increased. His accurate and complete knowledge of affairs political throughout the whole country, not only in relation to our own special group but of the nation at large is marvelous. His command of language in conveying his carefully thought-out plans or in giving information is an accomplishment to be coveted. One can well understand how it was that he was able to puncture the specious arguments and fallacies of his opponents in the national republican convention, have his delegation seated and win the place of national committeeman, an honor long denied our people and to which we are justly entitled. And Colonel Henry Lincoln Johnson is preeminently qualified by experience, service, intellect and a heart for the position which he has won and which he regards not as a state or personal recognition but as a national racial recognition. Henry Lincoln Johnson is a big man in every way. He is big in stature, big in brain, big in heart and as representative of our group on the national republican committee we have a man who fully measures up to all requirements and of whom we may all be justly proud. He is the right man in the right place. We can depend upon him in doing all that is possible to see that our people are given a square deal. It has strengthened the republican party's weakening grip upon the loyalty and affection of our people by having a man like Henry Lincoln Johnson on the national committee. We feel that we have representation. He is regarded in a peculiar sense as our national committeeman. HAYSEED PHILOSOPHY. WASTED SMILES! There are smiles that make us happy.

Haven't you observed such? Certainly you have. And perhaps you, too, are in accord with the grouch. "Can the person at the other end of the line catch the sunshine of the smiling face?" Physically, no. Psychologically, yes. Flowers may bloom and waste their fragrance on desert air, but smiles are never wasted. Like the quality of mercy, smiles are twice blessed. And if there be any difference in the giver and receiver, the smiler and the smiled at, the advantage is decidedly with the dispenser. Let us continue then to smile at our end of the line, though blocks of opacity intervene to intercept the physical vision of the object of our smiles. Such smiles will at least make US happy. Their impress will linger when friends are viewing our last remains. TEN DON'TS. 1. Don't find fault with what the other fellow does unless you are sure you can do better. 2. Don't depend upon your neighbor for help when you can help yourself. 3. Don't spend all of your time gossiping about your neighbor. Spend more time rendering yourself undeserving of gossip. 4. Don't mistake the kindness of your friend for license. This may be revoked, leaving you without either. 5. Don't think you know it all. Give the other fellow a chance. He may know more than you. 6. Don't be too apt to suspect evil in your neighbor's conduct. "For the wicked thinketh evil where there is none. As a man thinketh so is he." 7. Don't be a pessimist, lest the world take you at your face value. 8. Don't build your business on mere promises. Such a foundation will not be strong enough to risk a very substantial building. 9. Don't remain out of school if you are of school age. You'll regret it when you are too old. 10. Don't fail to identify yourself with some church. There's plenty of both work and room for you inside.

Cobham Brewer, writes upon Picts and Scots: "Pict is not the Latin pict (painted people). As Picts and Scots are always mentioned together, there is no reason why one name should be Latin and the other Gaellic. Scot is the Gaellic 'sgod' (a dweller in woods and forests), and Pict is the Gaellic pict-ist (freebooters), the two being equivalent to foresters and freebooters." Would Please Him. Lindsey had the little hen fast and was trying to bring her head close to the ground. "What might you be trying to do?" exclaimed her father coming upon the small girl in the yard. "I'm trying to make this hen say her prayers." "Well," said the parent sadly. "I hope she'll say: 'Now I lay me.'" WHO IS HYPOCRITICAL? Mr. Cox asserts that "the man who says the League of Nations means war is hypocritical and he knows it." Well, let us look at this assertion without hypocrisy and see what it comes to. Article X of the treaty provides that the members of the league "undertake to respect and preserve as against external aggression the territorial integrity and existing political independence of all members of the league," and it directs in case of threat of aggression the council shall "advise upon the means by which this obligation shall be fulfilled." Is it hypocrisy to hold that this means war? On this point Senator Harding cited a significant incident in his speech last week on foreign relations. "A few days ago," he said, "a delegation of an organization which calls itself a Society for the Prevention of War appealed to the premier of Great Britain to unite and use the powers of the world in defense of Poland, Armenia, and the Dardanelles. The British premier replied, according to his remarks quoted by the newspapers, to the effect that, while the formation of 'an international army' would be 'an ideal solution,' it could not be accomplished because the European nations could not furnish the troops and the United States had 'withdrawn from co-operation'—a polite and diplomatic phrase, and more exactly meaning, of course, that the senate of the United States had not completed the partial obligation assumed by the president to do that very thing—that is, to 'furnish the troops.'" Was Mr. Lloyd George hypocritical in his remarks to the delegation or has he a different understanding of the meaning of Article X from that which Mr. Cox would like American voters to adopt? If there is a difference of opinion, wouldn't it be wise to have it cleared up by an explicit reservation to our agreement to this "obligation," as proposed by the republican senators rather than to dodge, as attempted by Mr. Cox? Besides Article X, the covenant which Mr. Cox proposed to ratify without reservation, there is in Article X the following: "Any war or threat of war, whether immediately affecting any of the members of the league or not, is hereby declared a matter of concern to the whole league, and the league shall take any action that may be deemed wise and effectual to safeguard the peace of nations." Does this mean what it says, or is it mere hypocrisy? Article XII provides that in the event of the failure to carry out the award of arbitration provided by the covenant, "the council shall propose what steps should be taken to give effect thereto." Article XVI provides that should any member of the league resort to war in disregard of its covenants under Articles XII, XIII, or XV, "it shall pro facto be deemed to have committed an act of war against all other members of the league," and that "it shall be the duty of the council in such case to recommend to the several governments concerned what effective military, naval, or air force the members of the league shall severally contribute to the armed forces to be used to protect the covenants of BASEBALL!

KASHMIR CHEMICAL COMPANY 312 SOUTH CLARK ST., CHICAGO Webster 839 10c per Copy $3^{00} a Year DESCRIBES NEW MACHINE GUN Inventor Uses Centrifugal Foroe Instead of Explosive. SAY WEAPON IS NOISELESS Submitted to the War Department Just Before Armistice Was Signed. Ever since the publication of a brief ispatch from Washington a few days ago to the effect that the war depart- ment was experimenting with a new type of nolseless machine gun that substituted centrifugal force for pow- der as a propelling power Edward Thomas Moore, an attorney of New York, has been recelving letters from friends asking him if the gun which ts being experimented with now isn't the same one that he invented and sub- mitted to the war department a few weeks before the armistice was signed. ‘To a World reporter Mr. Moore not only admitted that the gun was his in- vention, but offered to explain Its prin- ciple. For several years prior to the war Mr. Moore," who lives in Passale, N. J., was a major and judge advocate in the New Jersey National Guard by appointment of Woodrow Wilson as govervor of New Jersey. When the United States entered the war Major ‘Moore was pressed into service by the war department and assigned to New Jersey as inspector of the draft in that state. His invention of the “Moore centrifugal gun,” for which he and Saul Singer of Cedarsburg, L. L, obtained patents, was offered to the war department shortly before the signing of the armistide, The cessa- ton of hostilities delayed experiments with the gun, but Major Moor@ left the fnvention with the bureau of stand- ards for further tests. “David Up to Date.” Mr, Moore says that the Bibiteal story of David slaying Goliath with a stone which he whirled around his head In a sling gave him the iden of applying centrifugal force to the op- eration of a machine gun. “Bringing David np to date” is the way he de- scribed it. ‘There have been other attempts to Invent a centrifugal gun. Mr. Moore does not claim to have originated the idea, He says the French, the Rus- sians and the Japanese have experl- mented with centrifugal guns from time to time, but were never success- ful because of their failure to control the dispersion of the bullets. From the tests which Mr. Moore conducted for the war department and those now being conducted, tt would seem that Mr. Moore's claim to fame lies in hay- ing Invented the first practical centrif- uga! gun. Control of the Bullets. In the gun which Mr. Moore has tn- vented complete contro! 1s obtained ‘over the dispersion of the bullets by a special patented timing device which feeds the balls into the gun barrel at ‘a regular rate and ejects them at reg- ular intervals and from the same opening. According to Mr. Moore, the tests have shown that his gun ts capa- ble of firing a ball a mile and a halt and killing a man at that distance; also that a ball fired from the muzzle of the gun a short distance away has penetrated seven thicknesses of heavy, planking, which he says ts one thick- | niess more than a bullet from any army .45 Colt will penetrate, Centrifugal force is nothing more than the tendency which objects have to fly off in a straight line when rap- | idly revolved about a fixed center. The most common utilization of centrifu- gal force 1s in the modern cream separator, Several Problems. In seeking to apply centrifugal force to a machine gun, however, Mr. Moore | was confronted with several prob- lems. In the first place, in order to get sufficient force to propel a ball ‘850 feet a second, which ts the speed of a hullet from a Colt automatic, sev- eral thousand revolutions of the gun barrel a second had to be obtained, This necessitated the construction of ‘a special type of electric motor to pro- vide the requisite revolutions. Then the tensile strength of the metals en- tering into the composition of the gun, and particularly of the barrel, had to be considered. Mr. Moore's knowledge of electric motors, tensile strength of metals and of ballistics being limited, he consulted experts in those various Unes, and assembled the information collected from these various sources before starting to construct the cen- trifugal gun. ‘The main parts of the gun as de- signed by Mr. Moore consist of an up- right shaft attached to a powerful electric motor eapuble of giving It @ rotation of 10,000 revolitions a min- ute, Attached to the shaft, and at right angles to it, is a hollow steel arm eight inches long which serves as the gun barrel, Balls instead of bullets are used, and are half an {neh In di- ameter or .50 caliber.

Forge Pay Checks. More than 100 convictions have re- sulted from the work of the secret ser- vice agents In running down persons who obtained fraudulent possession of government pay checks during the war and cashed them after forging an indorsement, Hundreds of checks also were passed in cases where the blank forms were stolen from the offices of disbursing officers and filled out false: ly. Many of these checks were stolen from mall boxes, where they had been left by the postmen for disabled sol- diers or dependents of soldiers, but this form of thievery has all but ceased. Because of the billions of dollars disbursed from Washington and of the inexperience of many disbursing off- cers who did not safeguard thelr rec- ords properly, the national capital be- came a rich field for crooks and the secret service found plenty to do right at its doorstep.

Since the manufacture of “Swiss” cheese began in this country no datry- man or farmer has been able to pro- duce the holes !n quantity and size dis- played by the {mported from the contt- nent, Long have sclentists cudgeled ‘eeir brains in an effort to discover tho secret. Welmar, who makes no preténsions to scientific achievement, has agreed to demonstrate to cheese makers, farm- ers, and dairymen of Tuscarawas county how to produce the long sought “oles” by means of a new culture. ‘Through Welmar’s process American made “Swiss” cheese can be made to #0 closely resemble the imported ar- ticle that the ordinary person cannot istinguish the difference. ‘The new culture, Welmar says, can be used sue- cessfully by any dairyman or cheese aan NST). lta eee Le eee Ye Little Time. A combat between a buck deer and 8 five-foot blacksnake was witnessed {n a fleld about a mile and a half west of Youngsdale, Pa,, by Emmanuel Ar- nold, who had been fishing in McRI- hattan run for trout and was walk- ing to Lock Haven via Castanca. ‘The fight was of short duration, for the deer trampled the life out of the big snake in a few seconds, Arnold saw the buck and a doe in a field near a woods, and the next in- stant the buck leaped in the air four times in succession and came down with his feet close together. As he started toward the field to make an Investigation the deer ran into the woods and disappeared. On reach- ing the spot where the animal had been standing Arnold was surprised to see a large blacksnake crushed and mangled by the sharp-pointed hoofs of the deer, which were bunched to gether each time the deer Janded of the reptile.

Once there was a rush on prospects in that line, but it turned out that every strike was a shallow surface well. Inside of a year there wasn't a driller or a derrick left in the district. They did leave cabins, however. Here and there along a trail for w hundred miles in the center of the grandest hunting and fishing dis- trict in the world, every few miles you'll find a fair to indifferent cabin, but offering a shelter far superior to @ flimsy tent.” “Abandoned, I suppose.” “Permanently, and you take your pick and house yourself and no ques tlons asked.” Lisle Merton was, lke Dale, a young man of fortune snd lelsure and an authority on places and travel. Dale started the next day on his thousand- mile trip. A settlement named Eden Point was his rail connection, Then twenty miles by wagon and as much more by canoe, and he found himself Jate one afternoon in front of a plain board structure with three rooms. “It's about the choice of the houses,” advised his guide, “right on the stream and that’s a big advantage, for nearly every day some kind of craft passes up or down stream and they will do any errands you may have at the set- tlement.” “That will be just the thing,” com mented Dale. “Another thing,” continued the guide, “back a bit from the river there are several families living, #0 you won't be lonesome.” Dale had bought a folding cot, an old stove, some camp stools and a fair array of pots, pans and crockery. It was a pleasing novelty and some- thing of a delight to make amateur housekeeping arrangements. Bedroom, ining room and kitchen swept and furnished, he lit a lamp and sat down to write some letters, feeling quite at home and comfortable. “Saw your light and wondered who my next neighbor could be,” spoke a hearty voice, snd at the threshold stood a bronzed, bearded man, the typical frontiersman in dress and speech. “You look as if your needs are all nicely provided for,” added the visitor as he glanced about him. “We have butter and eggs and always ‘a friendly helping hand when you happen to need it. I'm Aaron Burt; lived here for ten year.” “With your family?” said Daly, sim- ply to keep up the conversation. “Only a niece, Ada Revere. She has been here a month and going to stay two more. I hope we get better acquainted.” “It will not be my fault, ff we don’t,” said Dale, He was pleased at the thought of neighbors, more so espe clally as the niece might be a young lady. He found her so, and beautiful, intelligent, refined. It was the next day that he came upon her in the woods with her uncle, An introduc tion followed and after that almost every other day Dale spent an hour or two at the Burt cabin. He learned that Mr. Burt owned considerable land in the district and was experimenting along the line of promoting a plan to get the ofl from shale, His niece was unpretentious, friendly and charming. Tt was natural and inevitable that these two young souls should discover ‘@ mutual attraction, Then there tran- spired a serfes of incidents that brought about a definite climax. Mr. Burt came over to Dale's cabin one morning riding one horse and leading another. “1 need your help, Dale,” he spoke quite excitedly. “Some one broke in- to the house while we were passing the night with a neighbor. We sus- pect two fellows we noticed hanging around yesterday. They are on foot. ‘They have taken about all Ada pos- sessed and we must get after them.” ‘They came upon the thieves ten miles away. The latter had seen them coming and had scurried for a belt of dense timber, leaving a suitcase they had been rifiing behind them, Burt tossed over its contents, “They haven't taken anything but @ trinket or two,” he reported. “We won't risk a fight following them fur- ther,” and Dale, staring hard at an array of clothing fit for ® princess, began to realize that Miss Ada Reeves must belong to « family of some con- sequence. Ada was delighted to recover her property and Dale's co-operation in securing {t drew them still closer to- gether. One day Burt met Dale, quite serious looking. “Young man,” he spoke, “I've got eyes to notice that you and Ada are Announcing the Fall Showing of the World’s Finest Hats STETSON HATS MOSSANT HATS SCHOBLE HATS and CLOTH HATS Priced at $5.00 and up THE VERY BEST FURNISHINGS THAT MONEY CAN BUY MANHATTAN and ARROW SHIRTS INTERWOVEN and PHOENIX SOX IMPERIAL and LEWIS UNDERWEAR All the Latest Shapes and Shades in New Caps = : EE eae JK TOD : o SECURITIES BUILDING 303 S. 16th STREET McGill & Davis Lunch Counter and Employment Bureau Cigars, Tobaccos and Soft Drinks in Connection 2516 Q Street SOUTH OMAHA * AND STRAIGHTENING OIL | ma 1S oo i a ' a ‘ a Be = | ce ie Pos ae ia & i By Bete pe c 64 i een 2 i > ao e ., ee en Wl ae Fd { at le) a i om 7 ie ¢ i j | os Ee | } & Peinweninnns suet baa ri The most wonderful hair preparation on the market.

At a sale of antiques recently in London, colors carried at the battle of Culloden in 1746 were sold to a Glas- gow purchaser for £750 ($3,750). The colors were borne by Sir James Kin- loch's battallon—the Second—of Lord Ogiivy’s regiment, and is believed to be the only banner carried off by the young pretender's defeated army.

MATTIE CLAY. 4t—8-19-26-9—2-9-20. down-trodden and outcast workers of the world. Personally he has touched more lives than any other living man. He was and always has been a fearless searcher for truth. His school years were short. He graduated with credit from the Old Seminary School in Terre Haute. In May, 1870, he began to work for the Terre Haute & Indianapolis Railway company. He first worked in the shops, then was locomotive fireman. He kept this position until 1874. From 1874 to 1879 he worked for Hulman & Cox grocery house. In 1879 he was elected city clerk for four years. He had joined the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen when it was first organized at Terre Haute. He had organized the Brotherhood of Railway Brakemen, now known as Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen. He helped to organize the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association, Brotherhood of Railway Carmen, Order of Railway Telegraphers and several other unions. In 1878 he was made associate editor of the Fireman's Magazine. In July, 1880 he was appointed grand secretary and treasurer and editor and manager of the magazine, serving in the former capacity until 1893 and in the latter capacity until September, 1894. He then took heareg of the affairs of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, the order having only 60 lodges and $6,000 debt. In a short time he added 226 lodges and had wiped out the debt. At the Cincinnati convention in 1892 he tendered his resignation, which was unanimously refused. He was unanimously re-elected to all the offices held. He again tendered his resignation and insisted upon its acceptance. No such demonstration of love and pathetic regret has ever been known in a national gathering of citizens. Mr. Debs said: "That organization should be broad enough to embrace all the workers," and that he would give all his energy to building up such an organization. The convention unanimously voted to give him $2,000 for a trip to Europe for rest and enjoyment. This Mr. Debs refused. With a few others in June, 1893, he organized the American Railway Union. His salary was fixed at $75 a month. During his last two year's work for the organization he drew no salary at all. He said: "I am willing to advance any movement to reach and rescue perishing humanity. To see suffering about me, I myself suffer, so helping others, I help myself." He said further, "No man makes a sacrifice unless he viobates his conscience." April 16, 1894, a circular letter was issued to the members of the American Railway Union, containing a scale of wages paid on the Great Northern railroad. The wages were comparatively small. The cheapest board in Butte, Mont., was $26 a month. The A. R. U. wanted the switchmen at Great Falls and Helena to receive the same pay as those at Butte. "The representative of the employes will meet at Minot not later than ten days hence, and formulate schedules according to all classes of employes, or said employes will quit work at 12 o'clock noon this 13th day of April." No reply was made. The order to strike was given. Mr. Hill requested faithful employees to remain. Making promise of promotion, as is always the case. The A. R. U. held meetings at all points along the Great Northern. Their membership increased by the thousands. Beaten at every point, Mr. Hill called for a conference. He thought only of giving Mr. Debs the worst of the deal. Those acquainted with Debs had no fear of the outcome. Mr. Hill wanted to arbitrate, but Mr. Debs said "No." Mr. Hill was trying to divide the men and make trouble for the union of brotherhood. The men were firmly united and no method used could divide them into factions. The union men won. On May 3, 1894 Debs returned home amid music and shouts from 4,000 men, women and children. He said: "From the depths of my heart I appreciate and thank you for this demonstration of confidence and respect." Not one drop of human blood was spilled and the men gained 97 per cent of their demands. The railroad paid $146,000 a year more to their employees. As Mr. Debs left the west the old trackmen, men whose frames were bent with years of grinding toil, waved their hats at him as they bent over their shovels. Think what Debs' work meant to thousands who before had only had a miserable existence. Debs said: "My friends and neighbors. I can only assure you my eternal friendship and loyalty."
