Va., Dec. 2.—Mrs. Emily Vaughn, a woman of the old school of gentle breed and spirit, a type fast disappearing, died here Sunday morning, November 21, at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Leonard H. Johnson, on Beechhurst avenue, in the ninety-ninth year of her age, lacking only one year of having lived a century. She was one of the oldest, if not the oldest, woman in West Virginia, and up until a week before her death was in comparatively good health and in possession of all her faculties. Her life covered the period of American history during which the Mexican, the civil, the Spanish-American and the world wars were fought. Mrs. Vaughn was of an alert mind and took an active interest in public affairs. She expressed a desire to live long enough to cast her first vote, since women were enfranchised, for a republican president. This wish was gratified as she went to the polls and cast her first and only vote on November 2 for Harding. Mrs. Vaughn was born at a home on the turnpike between Frankfort and Louisville, Ky., and lived there until eight years of age. In the slavery days she was owned by one of the most aristocratic families of the Blue Grass state—the Majors. Her first mistress was Lucinda Slaughter, a direct descendant of George Washington. When she was eight years old she was taken by her mistress to Carney, Mo., where the latter's husband was a minister, a contemporary of the father of Frank and Jesse James. She had many memories of the stirring times in Missouri during civil war days, of the guerilla warfare on the borders of the states, and of the banditry practiced by the James boys. When the success of the union forces in the war between the states brought about the freedom of her race, Mrs. Vaughn went to Liberty, Mo., where she resided until 1877, when she removed to Kansas City. There she lived until October, 1918, when she removed to Morgantown with her daughter and daughter's husband, who came here to assist John Hunt in conducting the mess for the University R. O. T. C. Mrs. Vaughn is survived by her daughter, Mrs. Leonard H. Johnson, and two sons, Sam Vaughn of Kansas City and Sylvester Vaughn of Omaha. BIRTH RATE SHOWS LARGER PERCENTAGE RALEIGH, N. C., Dec. 2.—For the first time in the history of vital statistics in North Carolina the Negro birth rate in the state for the first six months of this year showed a larger percentage than did the white birth rate. From January to the end of June, 1920, there were 13,519 Negro children born in the state, or 33.8 per cent per thousand population. During the same period the white is more than double the number of Negro births, but the percentage per thousand population is only 31.2 as compared with the 33.8 per cent of the Negro births. --- THE MONITOR Funeral services were held at the A. M. E. church, of which Mrs. Vaughn was a member, Tuesday, November 23. Rev. B. F. Newsome and Rev. Mr. Mitchell conducted the services Interment was made in East Oak Grove cemetery. ANOTHER FLORIDA LYNCHING MIAMI. Fla., Dec. 2—J. B. Harris, a 19-year-old Negro, was lynched by a mob near Princeton, following an alleged attack upon a white woman.

J., Dec. 2.—A colored fire company here is now a fact. The fourteen members of the company, all of whom saw military service overseas, went on duty in the West Side fire house recently.

HAITIANS INVADING CUBAN SUGAR FIELDS (By The Associated Negro Press) HAVANA, Cuba, Dec. 2.—The Haitians are coming here in greater numbers than are the Chinese, to work on the sugar plantations. The last crowd of five hundred had several who will buy land; the remainder are bonded for their return to Haiti after the sugar crop is harvested. The Chinamen who come as merchants show one thousand dollars and upwards. JACK JOHNSON APPEARS IN RING Stages Boxing Bout in Federal Prison and Knocks Out Two Opponents (By The Associated Negro Press) LEAVENWORTH, Kas., Dec. 2. Jack Johnson, former heavyweight champion, made his first ring appearance in the United States since he fled his native country seven years ago when he met two opponents as a feature event of a boxing show staged in the open air at the federal prison here. It was the general opinion of news- paper men and boxing critics at the ringside that Johnson is in good condition and still retains much of his cleverness and punching power. Johnson knocked out Frank Owens of Chicago, the last round of a six-round bout, and after a few minutes' intermission, took on a fresh opponent in the person of "Topeka Jack" Johnson for four rounds. "Topeka Jack" was badly outboxed. HOLD SUCCESSFUL FAIR (By The Associated Negro Press) DALLAS, Texas, Dec. 2.—The agricultural fair given in Cherokee county at Jacksonville was declared a success in every particular.

CLERKS DISMISSED FROM CENSUS BUREAU (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Although there is still plenty of work to be done in connection with the taking of the 1920 census, and, as has been stated, colored clerks in the Census Bureau have proved most proficient in the operation of the machines used in the Census Bureau, word has come that, due to lack of funds, nearly every one of the colored clerks in this bureau has been notified "with no thought of prejudice, whatever," that he is no longer needed. This notification comes within a short period of the recent election. Vol. VI.

Brown, President of the National Association of Colored Women, Urges Organization to Intelligently Undertake Great Task Presented by Enfranchisement—Must Work for Higher Moral Standards COMPETENT INSTRUCTORS IN CHARACTER BUILDING URGENTLY NEEDED WHITE SOUTHERNER CALLS ATTENTION TO NEWSPAPER METHODS --- (By The Associated Negro Press) WILBERFORCE, Ohio, Dec. 2.—Hallie Q. Brown, president of the National Association of Colored Women, has recently issued an address to the colored women of the country which, among other things, says: "We are just from the firing line. Our labors have been crowned with success. We may shout with the multitude for victory achieved—but the war is not ended—the battle is not won. Like Paul Jones we cry, 'We haven't begun to fight.' Unlike the hero of Lake Erie our weapons are not carnal. We fight with the forces make for righteousness, truth and justice—the church, 'which speaks one tongue and carries one message'—that of brotherly love; the school. LIFTING. LIFT, TOO! the great civilizer; the courts, where justice sits enthroned; the silent force of countless ballots. "We stand at the open door of a new era. For the first time in the history of this country women have exercised the right of franchise. That right for which the pioneers of our race fought, but died without the sight. Women's entrance into politics at this time seems most opportune. The people are weary and heartsick of political hatred, slander, passion, prejudice and controversy. "It remains for woman to work for higher moral standards, to inject into the body politic the love and pity of her mother-heart, inspired by the lowly Christ to help change our land into a God-fearing, a God-serving nation. "The National Organization of Colored Women's Clubs has grown to such pifoportions that it necessitates a large corps of competent instructors in this great art of building a race. These have come from the north, east, south and west and willingly offered their services and we present them to the people as heads and associates of our departments. We repose utmost confidence in their fitness and executive ability and believe that each woman will so present her specialty to the public so as to induce younger women of the race to grasp the opportunities which are offered the youth but once in a life time." Front Page Headliners for Alleged Crimes by Negroes, Minor Mention Given to Important Constructive Measures and Meetings. (By the Associated Negro Press) PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 2.—Strains of music issuing from a Race street meeting house might not seem to the casual passerby cause for comment, but when one realizes that in its long history this was the first time the human voice has ever been raised in song as a part of the program of a public meeting there, the occasion deserves more than passing notice. The meeting was under the auspices of the anti-lynching committee of Philadelphia, and was presided over by Anna Biddle Stirling, the committee's chairman. The subject discussed was "The Peril in Present American Inter-racial Relations," the principal speaker being Professor Robert K. Kerlen of Virginia Military Institute. In the course of his address he said: "God never made a more kindly and trustworthy people and less criminally inclined than the Negro race." Press injustice was dealt upon; little notice being taken of a large meeting of the Business league, with hundreds in attendance for days, but a burglary where the principal is a Negro is given first page prominence. "It is not a square deal," declared Professor Kerlen. "We hear much of mob assault, but not enough of the good things." DAVIS WINS IN OHIO (By The Associated Negro Press) CLEVELAND, O., Dec. 2.—The official count of ballots shows that Harry E.

It was the concensus of opinion of hundreds of people attending the fair that the attractive appearance of the exhibits confirmed the gospel of com- bining common sense with farming methods which would in every case give best results ultimately. The remarkable products exempli- fied that the Negro farmers of Macon county are learning to put brains in the soil thereby helping to solve the problems which face the farmer this period. ‘The educational emphasis of the fair revealed that prolonfed school terms, better school house: with efficient teachers and other movements such as the Tuskegee An- nual Negro Farmers’ Conference ars ‘vital factors in helping the rural group of Negroes to realize the agri- cultural possibilities for them. It was evident that there was 4 growing desire for better livestock and the growing of ample food prod. sets for the home. Devices, beautify- ing the homes and saving steps of the women in the homes, created much comment. MEETS OPPOSITION IN ORGANIZING LABOR (By the Associated Negro Press) JACKSON, Miss, Dec. 2A state of war has developed among the offi- THE MONITOR cers of the Mississippi division of the American Federation of Labor. Chas. H. Franck, first vice presi- dent of the organiaztion, is sending out hundreds of letters ta local labor organizations urging the formation of Negro labor unions, and his action is meeting with resentment from other officers of the federation, who be- lieve this to be an unwise policy. A majority of the state federation officers are aligned against Franck, but he claims to have the backing of the national organization in his work, Pe insists on forming Negro unions wherever it is possible to do so, de- claring that “the principle involved is one that affects the very existence of organized labor in the South.” Franek, it will be recalled, is thé ‘person who met with a shower of brickbats and rotten eggs a few weeks ago when he attempted to organize Negro workers in a lumber mill at Purvis. He appealed to Governor Russell for protection, and the gov- emor issued a vigorous letter de- nouncing the “acts of lawlessness” at Purvis, and criticizing the local au- thorities for permitting the rough treatment of Franck and his com- panion. J. L, LANE LAUNCHES BIG BUSINESS VENTURE Plan to Operate Chain of Stores Throughout Country Is Regarded With Favor. (By the Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill, Dec. 2.—Negro business interests of this city are be- ing stirred to great activity by the launching of a new business idea by J. L. Lane, promoter of the United Workingmen’s Mercantile company, ‘one of the leading and most wide- awake colored business men in Chi- cago. Mr. Lane proposed the opera- \tiom of a chain of stores, by members of the race, that will extend through- out the entire country. The plan has already made a big hit and there are abundant indications that the idea |will_ be an established fact before [many more months ave passed. As designed by the originator, the plan includes an opportunity for the rank and file of the people to become shareholders in the business through a popular subseription which will be saferuarded by ample bond security provided by the promoter and the of- ficials of the corporation. The details of the organization as set forth in a pamphlet provide for an agent’s membership as well as a co-operating selling and profit-shar- ing scheme that is said to be safe dnd sound by many of the men and women who are prominent’ in the Negro busi- ness life of this city. J. L. Lane, the originator of the idea, is a man of means and has had wide experience in mercantile ven- tures, Among the other people im- mediately interested are: Levy Smith, the wealthy and successful director of the ABC Eraployment Agency; W. J. Latham, president of the Superior Mutual Insurance company; John Ry Gay, secretary of the Builders of America; B, L. Sinclair, wealthy hotel owner; P. H. Bonam, proprietor of one of the latest tonsorial parlors in Chieago, and D. W. Jones and LeRoy! Bryson. . ‘The first store will be opened in| this eity some time in the early part of the spring of 1921. j BANK HANDLES MILLIONS DURING ITS FIRST YEAR — . Remarkable Progress Shown by the Steel City Banking Company. (By the Associated Negro Press) PITTSBURGH, Pa., Dec. 2—The Steel City Banking company has just celebrated its first anniversary. The celebration was held at Syria Mosque, ‘one of the finest auditoriums in the city. A splendid program was ren- dered. Prof. W. J. Edwards, princi- pal of Snowhill Institute, was the speaker of the evening. He urged the peorle to cultivate the,habits of thrift, industry and economy. For the first time in the history of this city, a ban- quet was served in the beautiful banquet hall of Syria Mosque by Ne- groes. Rey. M. 8. Hunter is president of the institution, which reported that over one million dollars had been han- dled by the bank during ita first year, which was remarkable report. At- torney Arthur Stevenson, cashier of the bank, presided as toastmaster. - WASHINGTON’S POPULATION [Capital Loses Place as Ranking City in Union for Colored Residentse— Title Moves Westward to Chicago. (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—Popula- tion of the District“ of Columbia is composed of 326854 ‘white persons, 109,976 colored and 741 other races, including Chinese, Japanese and Tn- dians, the Census Bureau announced recently. ‘The total of these figures makes up the 1920 population for the Distriet, which is 497,571. The increase in the colored popula- Mou Hes been grater from 1910. fp 1920 than from 1900 to 1910 and was at a higher rate, the increase being 15,530, or ae cent, from 1910 to 1920, as against 7,744, or 8.9 per cent, from 1900 to 1910, While the percentage ration of col- ored residents of the District shows a decrease of 8.4 per cent as compared with 1910, the numerical increase in the colored population shows a decid- ed gain, commensurate with the total gain in population, In 1910 there were 94,446 colored persons resident in the District of Columbia. Washington for some time has been the leading city in the matter of col- ored population. It is significant to note that the recent migratory move- ment has caused this leadership to be located in one of the more northern cities of the United States. Chicago, it is understood, claims this distinc- tion. This shift is indicative of the desire of the new Negro for larger freedom and opportunity.

AND F. COLLEGE, 7 TO 0 Touchdown Within the First Three Minutes of Play—Bennett Uses Strategy—Bennett Is Unbeaten. (By H. C. Eccles) GREENSBORO, N. C., Dec. 2.—Bill Pass, Bennett's star right halfback, found an opening in A. and F's line and made a specutacular run of seventy yards for the first and only touchdown at the annual Thanksgiving game. A. and F's team worked hard, but were powerless in the face of Captain Perry's formidable eleven. Byers, Bennett's right end: Little, Young's left end, along with his brother, Jim, and Dady Gannaway, in fullback, were stars of Bennett's team. Hausley, left guard, and Tucker, right guard, are due much credit for their work. Nelson, right halfback, used the forward pass with much skill and accuracy. The Thanksgiving victory gave Bennett the distinction of playing two seasons without allowing a rival team to cross her goal. Manager Abernathy, Captain Perry and Coach Baker are due much credit for the splendid showing of their team. Officials: Referee, O'Daurel, Biddle university; umpire, Taylor, N.

ATLANTA UNIVERSITY TEAM MEETS MOREHOUSE COLLEGE On the same day, under similar conditions and with similar results as Yale met Harvard, Atlanta university met Morehouse college on the university gridiron before thousands of spec- tators. The M. C. team carried off the bacon, as they have done for several years past, to the tune of 24-13. But, of course, the Tigers are not so jubilant over their victory. It cost them too dearly. The points against them were the greatest they have suffered this season. Virginia Union, who defeated them, carrying only seven points. The game began promptly at 2:45 p. m. The ball was kicked to Tigers and downed on the 35-yard line. The Tigers having made no substantial gains, the ball passed to the varsity forward pass and threatened to touchdown when their hopes were suddenly blasted on the 10-yard line. After several downs they made their first touchdown from a forward pass. Two other touchdowns by the Tigers came in rapid succession, both resulting from end runs. The score at the end of the first half: M. C. 18; A. U. 0. The beginning of the second half revealed that thirty minutes of play had made veterans of the varsity men. They began with such swiftness and decision that the Tigers were steadily driven upon their goal. A forward pass miscarried, however, and fell into the hands of the Tigers, who made another touchdown. Thus ended the first quarter of the last half. But "it's never too late to mend." Enthusiasm and determination which had been steadily accumulating all through the game finally exploded in the last quarter, completely shutting the Tigers out. The play up to this point had shown that the Tigers were more easily outwitted than outfought. So Captain Elliot decided to kick the ball toward the goal and get the Tig- THE MONITOR ers before they got away with it. Lang kicked 45 yards and the Tiger was downed in his tracks as soon as he caught the ball. After a few downs Lang made the first varsity touchdown and Captain Elliot kicked the only goal of the game. The game, as usual, was characterized by "Little John Cade's" auspicious play. Receiving the ball he went ducking and dodging the Tigers down the field. He learned to do this dodging "75s" in France. His rampage ended abruptly on the 10-yard line. After some seesaw and fine footwork on the pigskin by Thomas, Captain Elliot made the touchdown, which was all very pleasing, especially to him. He got one of the $10 prizes. I almost forgot that the Morehouse band was very faint in the last quarter. Morehouse college, by the way, has a peculiarly pernicious and unpleasant habit of clipping players from the rear, which she uses for the purpose of striking consternation in the hearts of teams smaller in size, weight or number. Atlanta fans well remember that the Atlanta university team lost one of its best players in the M. C. game of the 1919 season, who suffered a broken leg because of this practice. The prestint writer takes this method to inform Morehouse that we wish her to relegate this legacy of the cave men to the junk heap of outgrown ideals. A. BOHANNON, Atlanta university, Atlanta, Ga.

FACULTY "ROUND TABLE" NEW HOWARD FEATURE (By the Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.—A new feature at Howard University this year is holding of a faculty "round table" once a month at the home of Professor Stanley F. Durkee, at whose instigation the round table was organized. Special subjects, which will be led by the heads of the department of the university whose work bears relation to the topic discussed, have been selected for each of the meetings. The first round table was held November 4, at which time the administrative officers and the department of agriculture led in the discussion of the topic "Architectural Developments at Howard." Dr. Durkee feels that great benefits will accrue from the various discussions to be entered into at these meetings. EX-PRESIDENT TAFT SPEAKS ON RACE QUESTION (By The Associated Negro Press) BROOKLYN, N. Y., Dec. 2.—Former President William Howard Taft spoke on the race problem at the Academy of Music under the auspices of the Hampton Association of Brooklyn. In denunciation of race prejudice Mr. Taft said that there is danger of a revival of prejudice against the Jew in the United States. "Some antedeluvian people even now are trying to revive the persecution of the Jew in this country," he declared, "and nothing more un-American could be imagined." Referring to the Negro problem, the ex-president said the solution lies in education and economic development in both of which, as well as in religious development, he quoted figures to show the great progress of the Negro since 1866. NEW HOSPITAL IS OPENED RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 2.—Thirty-two patients have been moved from the Memorial hospital to the new St. Philip hospital on Marshall street. It was the formal opening of the city's newest infirmary, a handsome structure near the Virginia Railway and Power company viaduct and overlooking a wide sweep of valley bending toward Church hill. The hospital will be exclusively for colored patients and fills an important need and provides more effective facilities for handling the sick of Richmond than was possible under former conditions. The new institution is under the same direction as Memorial, and Frederick B Morlok will serve as superintendent of both. THE CHEERFUL CHERUB I won't annoy the weary world By harping on its wrongs.

WANTS PEOPLE TO INVEST Carrying on Campaign for the Sale of Thrift Stamps, War Saving Stamps and Saving Certificates School Rooms Organized. Washington.—Uncle Sam is spending $1,000,000 this year, through the savings division of the treasury department. In an effort to encourage thrift. The expenditure of $1,000,000 compares with an expenditure last year of approximately $4,000,000, and the staff of employees which comprises a force in Washington and an organization in every federal reserve district compares with the great force inherited from the war. Advocates Opening of Bank Accounts The savings division carries on the campaign for the sale of Thrift stamps, War Savings stamps and saving certificates, but these sales are merely a side line to the general effort, for just as much stress is being put upon the opening of savings accounts in the banks as upon the sale of stamps. Through the subsidiary organizations just as much effort is being made to have the housewife keep a budget as there is effort to propagandize the homes in the interest of government securities. In the period from December 1, 1917, to January 1, 1919, the sale of government securities, exclusive on Liberty and Victory bonds, reached more than $1,000,000,000. In 1919 the sales dropped to $134,230,687.84. In the first six months of this year the sales dropped to $26,985,842. But the report of the six months of the year is no indication of what the final report will be, according to O. C. Lester of the savings division, who says the people do not save as much during the summer months as at other times. School Rooms Are Organized. School Rooms Are Organized. When the government first initiated its drive for thrift and asked the assistance of the people, the savings division was organized and the request made for other organizations to co-operate with it. A drive was made to interest the school organizations, the organizations of women, the clubs and industrial concerns and others. But the effort was not entirely successful and the policy has been reversed. The government is now saying to all these organizations that it is ready to cooperate with them and success is being had. Thousands of school rooms are now organized and in many cities and states courses in thrift are being made a regular part of the curriculum. Industrial concerns have also organized their clubs. Women are teaching the necessity of the budget in the home. Fraternal organizations have joined in and the entire groundwork for the savings campaign has been laid. WILL FIGHT "WHITE PLAGUE" First of Series of Health Conferences to Be Heid in Washington This Winter. Washington.—The first of a series of regional health conferences authorized by the international health conference in Cannes to formulate and put into effect programs dealing with the fight against "the great white plague" will be held here the week beginning December 6, according to an announcement by the public health service. The conference which is being organized under the joint auspices of the interdepartmental social hygiene board, the public health service, the American Red Cross and the American Social Hygiene association, will also review "past experiences and existing knowledge as to the causes, treatment and prevention of venereal diseases and will formulate recommendations relating to a practicable three-year program for each of the North and South American countries participating." Prominent health officers and sociologists from all parts of North and South America will attend, the announcement said. Pontlac, Mich.—Mrs. Esther Cuneaz of Royal Oak has been held for trial in court circuit on a charge of operating a boarding house for children without a state license. It was shown that she had been refused a license. Mrs. Cuneaz recently was sued for divorce by her husband, who charged that not content with having six children of their own, she had taken nine children under six years of age into the house as boarders. Tonopah. Nev.-A miner lowered into a subterranean cavern opened by a miners' blast at Volcano, Nev., some time ago, was unable to discover the ends of the fissure. Stones dropped through the opening could be heard bounding from wall to wall, but there was no sound indicating that they had reached the bottom. Sparkling stalactites on the sides of the cavern were revealed by lights lowered through the opening. Too Many Children. No Bottom.

THE ASSOCIATED MAGAZINE PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE THE INDUSTRIAL SITUATION THE industrial situation throughout the country is becoming acute. Large numbers of people are becoming idle. Various reasons are assigned for this. We simply chronicle the fact. We do not attempt to analyze the cause or causes. Our purpose is to urge our people who have jobs to do their level best to hold them. This means that they must be efficient, prompt, painstaking and render the best service that they know how. The natural tendency, as The Monitor pointed out some months ago, will be to lay off our people first and especially in the newer fields of employment to which they were admitted during the exigencies of a labor shortage growing out of war conditions. In these fields we have made good, it is true, but to retain the places gained it will call for continued vigilance and industry. Hold your job. Watch your expenses. Save your money for the proverbial rainy day. Let no one mislead you as to the seriousness of the industrial situation. BROKEN FAMILIES THERE is no sadder spectacle than that of broken families and especially so where there are children who suffer from these separations. Cases are becoming all too frequent in which people who have lived together for years and reared children separate without any thought of the great moral wrong they are committing. Frequently a woman has struggled heroically to help the man get a start and just when they should be enjoying a little comfort he gets a huff and leaves. Sometimes the husband has struggled and sacrificed to get ahead and then the wife deserts him. Doubtless there is blame on both sides. Nine cases out of ten, there is another man or woman in the case. The most cowardly thing, however, is for the man who has begotten a large number of children to forsake his family and leave his wife to struggle for an existence. There are too many broken homes. There is too little appreciation of the seriousness involved in these fractures of the domestic relations. A little more patience and forbearance and a vast deal of more unselfishness on the part of both men and women will go a long way towards lessening the moral menace of broken families. IS THIS QUITE CONSISTENT? THE editor was busy getting out "copy. He was called to the phone. A lady indignant over the use of the word "Negro" in one of the local dalles wanted The Monitor to urge the colored people to stop taking the daily in question. We sold her that the publication in question was not a greater offender in this regard than others and that we must keep asking the dalles to change their methods and that there was some improvement to be noted in this line. Then we asked, "Do you subscribe for and read The Monitor?" She answered in the negative. We suggested that one effective way to combat the practice which caused her indignation would be to support our own publications which are doing their best to fight the race's peculiar battles in opposing the insidious propaganda which the daily press consciously or unconsciously is spreading. We wonder how many of our people are like this good woman? They present the attitude of certain dailies in their reports of events among our group and yet they fail to support their own publications. Do you get the point? A WORTHY BUSINESS VENTURE THE Monitor congratulates the Co-operative Workers of America upon the auspicious opening of the grocery department of their proposed department store. This department is one of which any institution should feel proud. A corps of courteous clerks was on hand to take care of the patrons. The line of goods displayed match those of any other grocery in the city. The goods and service are all that can be desired. We see no reason why this worthy business venture may not be a great success and we call upon our people to see to it that it does not suffer from lack of proper patronage and support on our part. We are advised that other departments will be opened as speedily as practicable. SNYCOPATED SPASMS SOME ancient onion once made the remark that competition is the life of trade. We suppose he was right, because we are always looking for the guys who are competing with each other and trying to demonstrate just how cheaply they can sell the needs of life without going busted and hanging up a card with the word "Bankrupt" written across the face of it. But the competition of which the antique vegetable spoke was fair and square competition. It didn't mean starting a lie factory and distributing the wares throughout the community, nor did it mean taking unfair advantage of your competitor and trying to ease him into the discard deck. That isn't competition. That is just low down oneriness. What we need in this community is more competition of the clean kind and less of the dirty work. If you and your culldub brother happen to be jogging along in the same line of business, it doesn't mean that every time his name is mentioned that you have to open the vials of wrath and introduce a miniature thunder storm. Neither does it mean that every time he has a customer, you must grab friend customer by the coat tail and tell him that he is about to be trimmed, tonsured and totally wrecked. The chances are that if he heeds you you will wreck him worse than friend competitor. Did you ever take a slant at this side of the debate? If you never did it isn't too late to learn. The only trouble about being a human trip hammer is that some day the public will find you out and when it does, O, mama! It leaves you a hurt to nurse for the rest of your earthly days. So, to the culldub business men of this here rising and hefty community, weigh wisely these words. If you haven't got a pair of scales about the shack, weigh them just the same. You will find that they balance nicely with the ideas of clean business. In these days and hours you have got to show what you can do and stop bellowing about what the other chap can't do. This is the new business idea. Hang COMPETITION it over the front door and ponder the lines and angles of its truthfulness. WHAT THE EDITORS SAY NEGRO TEACHER TRAINING SCHOOLS Three-fourths of the teachers in the rural colored public schools in the south have not gone beyond the fourth or fifth grade in their own education. With such teachers, much of the money used for Negro schools is in effect wasted. With the higher Negro schools furnishing barely enough teachers to fill vacancies, southern men have had to work out a new plan to secure a supply of teachers. The scheme is for one school in a county to become a training school for teachers. That school must have at least five teachers, an eight months' term, eight grades of work, and added courses in industries and teaching, with real high school work where possible. Once a school meets these conditions and receives an increased appropriation from the county, the Slater Fund or the General Education Board help out with contributions for salaries and equipment. The new system was launched eight years ago with four schools, to which county boards gave $3,344, and the Slater Board $2,000. This year there are 107. They received from county boards $239,000 from the Slater Board $52,000, and from the General Education Board $61,000. They had 628 teachers, and 29,000 pupils, 1,500 of them of high school grade. The value of the land, buildings and equipment connected with these schools is $1,026,000, $278,000 of which was added within the year. Twenty-nine of the schools have teachers' homes, and fifteen have dormitories for children from a distance. Eighty-one schools have boarders in nearby homes. These schools are some of the south's most promising assets today, whether from a moral or an economic standpoint. They are beacons of hope for both races in the rural sections, where three-fourths of the Negroes still live and where ignorance and inefficiency have too long flourished—Christian Work. Proverbs and Paragraphics He that ruleth his spirit is better than he that taketh a city.—Bible. Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach unto any people.—Bible. A rich man's sin is no better and no worse than a poor man's sin. Between the children of the same home there ought to be the closest intimacy, affection and courtesy. And this should apply also to community and nation. Every newspaper carries some tragic story which verifies the warning of Holy Writ that the wages of sin is death. The family that has the advantage of a father's wise counsel and a mother's love, that is sustained by the skill of the one and the tender care of the other, presents the best moral, intellectual and physical conditions of development.

Let stand six hours to ripen. Fruit Cup—For five glasses take one orange, three bananas, half a package of dates, one cupful of white grapes, measured after they are skinned, cut in halves and seeded, 12 pistachio nuts, the juice of half a lemon and three-fourths of a cupful of cream. Remove all the peeling and membrane from the orange, separate into sections and cut each in halves crosswise. Peel the banana, scrape to remove the threads, cut in thin, even slices and squeeze over them the juice of half a lemon. Pour boiling water over the dates, drain and place on a dish to dry in a hot oven, then remove the pits and cut in sections. Mix all the fruit together, then dispose in glasses, pouring the fruit sirup over it. Whip the cream and pipe it above the fruit; serve very cold. Prune and Cottage Cheese Salad.— Soak choice prunes over night; cook until tender. When cold cut open, remove the stones, and cut the prune in smooth even pieces. Press cottage cheese for an hour or longer, then cut in half-inch cubes. For each serving beat two tablespoonfuls of thick prune juice, a teaspoonful each of lemon juice and sugar or honey and two tablespoonfuls of olive oil until thick. Place a layer of the prunes on lettuce hearts, the cheese above. Pour over the dressing and serve at once.

THE ROUND TABLE The glare of the bright lights; the sift, well-modulated harmony of an orchestra that does not "murder" music; the gay costumes of ladies; the red fez of the nobles; the white fez of the Daughters of Isis; the great repast prepared by the master hand and brain of Noble Haynes, a chef of whom Islam Temple may well be proud; the perfect service; and last, but not least, the artistic arrangement and decorations of tables and drapery in the banquet hall of our Mystic Shrine, still linger in the mind of the Scribe. Four hundred guests were seated and served. Men who had joined caravans and had crossed the burning sands together, as well as some of the sons of the desert, with their guests enjoyed a great time. Omaha, Hastings, Grand Island, Fremont, Fairbury all were represented. Gentle reader, we wish you could have been with us. For to us, the followers of Allah, the partaking of our hospitality is a matter of binding friendship. To our friends we say come again. To the absent we say, at our next reunion, come with us and we will do you good. I turn from these pleasant reminiscences to the further consideration of the legality of "Negro Masonry" so called. In quoting from the records of the state of Washington for 1897, we read as follows: "That they include many of the best men among our colored fellow citizens, and that their contributions to ITLE JULIUS SNEEZER Masonic Literature are creditable, and in some instances notable." Particular contributions to Masonic literature are: "History of Freemasonry Among Negroes in North America," by Wm. H. Grimshaw. "Negro Mason in Equity," by Samuel W. Clark. "Prince Hall and His Followers," by George W. Crawford. Grimshaw is connected with the United States Congressional Library at Washington, D. C., and is a past grand master of the grand lodge at that place. Clark was at one time grand master of Ohio and has been dead for many years. Crawford is a lawyer and a graduate of Yale university. Our white brethren have added several other objections against the "regularity" of the Prince Hall Craft, which, for want of space, precludes discussion in complete detail. However, an enumeration of them will prove of interest. 1. Inferiority, socially and morally. (?) 2. Irregularity in the career of African lodge. (?) 3. Ritualistic changes. (?) 4. Ritualistic qualifications. (?) 5. The invalidity of the warrant of African lodge. (?) 6. The alleged surrender of the inherent rights and powers of the colored grand lodges that organized the national grand lodge of North America in 1848. The crime of "ritualistic changes" has been charged against the colored brethren, yet records prove that innovations in the ritual are chargeable against the whites as well. The grand lodge of Kentucky at one time (and perhaps even now included "Negro woman" in its obligation. In 1869 the grand lodge of Delaware incorporated race proscription in its obligation. Grand masters are wont to go into ecstasies over the fact that Free-masonry knows no race, creed or color (except black. How meaningless are such rhapsodies, when one ponders such legal enactments and decisions handed down by grand masters in certain sections of this great republic. Only last year (1918 Grand Master Orin S. Ware of Kentucky handed down the opinion: "Held, that a lodge cannot receive a petition from a man one-eighth to one-sixteenth Negro." We presume the custom now to be that prospective petitioners must furnish certified documents as to their ancestry before they can be voted upon. Like the ghost of Banquo, the Negro will not down. In closing this already lengthy article, I venture to add that the Negro is in the limelight, or spotlight, and he is rapidly making racial progress. I guess that Mr. Roosevelt's saying, "Step lightly and carry a big stick," is very applicable to us. THE SCRIBE. ANNOUNCEMENT There will be an important meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. at the Newman M. E. church Monday, December 6 A fine program has been arranged. Everyone is urged to be present. WILLIAM WOODS. President MRS. O. W. FERGUSON. Secretary. CAMP FIRE GIRLS The Akeyynhapi Camp Fire Girls, chaperoned by their guardian, Mrs. O. W. Ferguson, hiked to the Orthopedic Hospital and Dependent Home on last Friday. They carried a large bag of fruit for the colored children, with whom they spent the day. At Xmas time the girls plan to do something for the same children. The Akeyynhapi Camp Fire Girls will meet next Wednesday at the residence of their guardian, Mrs. O. W. Ferguson, 1901 U street. THE MONITOR Succeeding "THE REVIEW" (© 1920. Western Newspaper Union.) "Discharge all the female employees," exclaimed old Hugh Bertrand, and he stood stock still viewing his employer, Mark Seaton, with the stare of a startled and perplexed man. "That is the order," answered the latter tersely, "and it is to be put in effect within a week." Hugh Bertrand made no reply. He was an under superintendent of the town plant devoted to the manufacture of loose-leaf devices, where he had been employed for many years. Within the previous month Mark Seaton had purchased the business from its original owners. Bertrand had heard that the new proprietor was a tyro and a disciplinarian and anticapped trouble. He decided to make a suggestion for the general good. In a little speech to his fellow employees a week before the arrival of Seaton, he said: "We are a happy, contented group of friends and have got accustomed to easy, comfortable ways in our labors here, but the world moves and we want to adjust ourselves to its progress. The new management will probably install a time clock and a system of penalties for late comers and make considerable alterations in general methods. Let everyone seek adjustment to the conditions. If we follow this sensible course there need be no disturbing friction." "I can't understand what Mr. Seaton is driving at. 'Discharge the female employees.' Why, that simply overturns the efficiency of the whole business," seriously reflected Bertrand. His daughter Grace, was in charge of one of the departments, and to her he disclosed the situation. She looked grave and troubled. "I heard that Mr. Seaton was what is called a woman hater before he came here," she said. "Only a few days ago, a friend told me that he overheard Mr. Seaton telling a visiting friend that he did not believe in keeping women around. He said all they thought of was face powder, hair dressing and vanity. I fancy he must have been crossed in love, father." "I don't know," answered Bertrand gloomily, "but he can't be human not to see that the feminine part of our help elevates our men workers, has refined them to a degree and has made work actually agreeable. I don't know how it may be in the city where the help is constantly changing, but here we are like a family, well brought up together. It was followed out and the girlless system duly inaugurated. There was a parting of lovers, of sisters—even of husbands and wives, for in some instances whole families had worked together. The places of the girls and women were filled mainly now by boys and young men. The old male employees were dissatisfied at the new arrangement. The pleasant noon hours in agreeable, harmonious company gave way to a dull, uneventful resting period. Grace Bertrand came in close contact with Mr. Seaton because of the fact that she had always headed the girl employees as a sort of leader. Many went to work in other towns, and it was her province to visit Seaton and secure recommendation for them. It somewhat softened his hard nature to realize the helpful, unselfish nature of the businesslike, sensible young girl, who expressed no overt criticism as to his drastic exaction, but still made him feel that he was the means of causing confusion, and in some cases distress in scattering a community of girls who had led a safe, happy life under the old menage. Within a month there brooded over the plant a sense of disruption and discontent that Seaton could not help but notice. Many of the expert workers, fearing other changes and infested with a sense of instability, resigned to seek new employment. Nobody liked the new proprietor, and he felt it. Several times when he met Grace on the street he engaged her in apparently casual conversation, but gradually brought it about to the labor situation, A Girlless System SKA, DE THE REVIEW" 225 Sou and the results of the innovation he had made. The girl attracted him—he felt the influence of new viewpoints. Secretly he wished he had consulted her before he made the change that he plainly discerned was not beneficial to the general group. In a money way, too, there was a palatable retrogression. One morning Grace Bertrand became the heroine of the town. Her father out of friendship and sympathy had taken the place of the watchman of the plant, who had serious illness in his family. At eleven o'clock, Grace ran over to the works to take him a warm lunch. She found him bound and gagged, and a coterie of burglaries in the office striving to open the safe which at that especial time of the month held an unusually large amount of money. Quickly Greece hastened to the police. The burglaries were apprehended just as they were leaving the plant with a sum that would have seriously crippled its owner financially. Because he knew his error, because one of the group he had treated so unjustly had saved him from possible bankruptcy, Mark Seaton told Grace later that he had decided to restore former conditions. And, loving her, and thus having new interests in life and its issues, when he married Grace, her girl friends knew that her influence would continue to protect their interests.

The steam tonnage owned by the principal maritime countries in June, 1920, totalled 53,905,000, an increase of 8,501,000 tons as compared with June, 1914; but it is computed that the world's net loss in shipping through the war, taking into account the suspension in normal shipbuilding activities amounts to 3,516,000 tons. There is a reduction in sailing tonnage since pre-war days of 614,000 tons, a much smaller decrease than in any previous six year period and doubtless accounted for, says the Register, by the shortage of other tonnage having given new life to the construction of sailing vessels. The United States, the only country which has increased sailing tonnage since 1914, now owns over 43 per cent of the world's sailing tonnage. Test Works, All Right; It Cost Tester His Hand Sacramento, Cal.—Harry Finegold, a second-hand dealer here, applied the "acid test" the other day in bargaining for a shotgun offered for sale. As a result of his "test" he is now minus the better part of his left hand. Finegold asked the person who brought in the gun to sell if it were loaded. The owner said he wasn't sure. "I can soon tell," said Finegold, and he did. The second-hand dealer placd his left hand over the muzzle and pulled the trigger with the other. It was loaded.

The largest amount of sunken treasure there is any record of lies at the bottom of Vigo bay, on the coast of Spain. Here a Spanish plate fleet of 17 great galleons and their escort of 23 warships were sunk 300 years ago by a combined fleet of English and Dutch war vessels. There is no guesswork about the amount of treasure on board the galleons. It is matter of official record and is placed in the neighborhood of $140,000,000, which at the time when there was very little money in the world had a purchasing power ten times greater than now. Of this immense sum a little was landed, taken inland and saved. A few millions fell as spoil to the victors and the balance has served as a bait to draw adventurers from everywhere to Vigo bay. A heavily financed company even now, under a concession from the King of Spain, is trying to salvage the sunken galleons and their cargoes. All in all, not more than 20 millions have been saved from the sea, including that landed, that captured and that reclaimed by the various firms to whom concessions have been granted during the last 300 years, so it is safe to say that at least 100 millions yet remain resting on the bottom of the bay, 17 shiploads of gold, silver and precious stones! THESE SILKS NEED NO DYE Louisiana Man Has Discovered Method of Making the Worms Color Their Own Product. While the silkworm has no fancy for any particular color, preferring to weave its cocoon of a drab gray so that it will not show against a gray tree trunk, one man has discovered a method whereby he can make the little spinners produce any one of the 18 shades at his pleasure. The man is Dr. Vartan K. Osfgian, son of a long line of silk manufacturers, and he has an extensive silkworm farm near New Orleans. Osigian has discovered that upon feeding the worms certain leaves they will respond by spinning certain colors. He has carried out his experiments until he has the 18 varieties of food to produce the like number of colors. The silk thus shaded will not fade in either water or sunlight. Not only has he secured colored silk, but in addition he has increased the cocoon in size until a single one provides 1,800 yards to a strand, and there are two strands to a cocoon. The "Bolshevist Cocktail." From the American Red Cross Bulletin of Riga: "Helsingfors.—You can tell a prohibition country by the weird and awful drinks they drink. Take Finland, for example. There they take vodka, 90 per cent, made from potatoes, not from grains, mix it with blue or huckleberry juice water, in the ratio of one to ten, and gulp down the result. It's the only way to get it down; to sip would be to give up altogether, both on account of the strength and the odor. American Red Cross dispensaries working with the Russian refugees use vodka under spirit lamps in place of alcohol. "Near the border one gets the Bolshevist cocktail."
