Talley, chief assistant district attorney of New York county, which declares that "there is no room in this great broad-minded state of New York for so un-American organization as the Ku Klux Klan." Mr. Talley made this statement to reporters representing the various metropolitan papers, but most of them gave scant space to the ringing and emphatic declaration of the assistant district attorney. Talking to a representative of The New York Age later, Mr. Talley gave it as his opinion that influences controlling New York dailies seem inclined to an apologetic attitude when matters affecting southern opinions and ideas are the subject of discussion. That any attempt at organizing a local Ku Klux Klan would be summarily met and dealt with was emphasized by Mr. Talley whose statement in full was as follows: "There is no room in this great, broadminded state of New York for so un-American an organization as the Ku Klux Klan. The pretensions that it apparently makes to patriotism enforce Johnson's definition of patriotism as the last refuge of a scoundrel. No secret, oath-bound organization is needed to preserve and perpetuate devotion to the American government or to uphold the laws of the land and FIRST LAWMAKER SEATED IN MISSOURI Desk Literally Covered With Flowers —Large Delegation of St. Louisians Present to Witness Historic Event— Members of Race Proud of Moore's Success CORDIAL GREETING GIVEN NEW MEMBER JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Jan. 12. The fifty-first general assembly of the Missouri legislature convened at 12 o'clock, Jan. 5. Conspicuous among those who took the oath of office was Walthal M. Moore, elected from the Sixth Missouri district (St. Louis). Mr. Moore's desk was fitted up with pencil, calendar pads, Missouri statutes, volume of journal of previous session, letter file and a large bouquet from Union Memorial church, of St. Louis. Just ten minutes after the opening of the session, Ernest Patillo of St. Louis arrived with a lot of flowers. He was met in the corridor by J. E. Mitchell, editor of the St. Louis Argus, who relieved him of the flowers. Notwithstanding the fact that the house was in session, Mr. Mitchell quietly bore the huge bunch of flowers to Mr. Moore's desk, which is No. 75, and as he arranged them on the desk, spontaneous applause greeted Mr. Moore from the audience which he received with a courteous bow. As he took his seat he was almost hidden with flowers. Historic Setting At this time all eyes were turned upon Walthal M. Moore, and it seemed THE MONITOR A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor Infamous Organization Which Has Seeks to Spread Throughout the ts and Scarehead Fanatics Com- the constitution upon which our government is founded. "The genius of our laws and the dominant tenets of the constitution is the solemn declaration that all men are created equal and have an inalienable right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This means all Americans, no matter what their color or creed. If Lincoln was a real American this organization, opposed to everything that Lincoln stood for and to every principle to which Appomattox gave a solemn sanction has no place in American life. "This Ku Klux Klan, on their own declaration of principles, is composed of narrow-headed bigots and scarehead fanatics. There is no place for them in New York, and good citizens and real Americans will set their faces against them and their wild aspirations. No Place for Invisible Empire "Let the searchlight of truth and fair-dealing be turned on these brave knights who are afraid to fight in the open and claim to be part of an 'Invisible Empire.' This is no time, nor is America the place for the creation of any empire 'invisible' or otherwise." "The gentleman from Georgia who styles himself the 'Imperial Wizard of the Klan' is as much out of date and out of place in these days as would be the witches in 'Macbeth' who performed their antics round on a blasted heath chanting 'double, double toil and trouble.' "Healthy-minded Americans will wonder, like Banquo, whether these clansmen have not eaten of the insane root that takes reason prisoner." that the men and women in the assembly began to realize the more that the fifty-first general assembly of the Missouri legislature was really a historical event. In response to their popular feelings, the visitors as well as the legislators began to discuss the young man upon whom all eyes were fixed as the first Negro in the state to be so highly honored with a seat in that august body. During the ceremonies, Hon. Hiram Lloyd, lieutenant governor of the state came in, and after looking over the audience, walked down the aisle to Mr. Moore, grasped his hand with a hearty shake and congratulated him as the first of his race to sit in the law-making body of the state. No one by word or act, which was noticeable showed anything but the kindest regards toward Mr. Moore. It is generally believed that a pretty high class of Missourians make up the legislative body of the lower house of the fifty-first general assembly of Missouri, and as such, they are proud for the most part in being a part of that historic assembly. Mr. Moore said it was the happiest moment of his life to see the loyalty of his race, and the democratic spirit manifested by the white race whom it will be his duty to work with during the next two years. St. Louisans Present Among the prominent St. Louisans present to witness these ceremonies were: J. E. Mitchell, editor of The St. Louis Argus; William H. Banks; Attorney George L. Vaughn, Dr. T. A. Curtis, Father D. R. Clarke, rector All Saints' church, Attorney Albert Burgess, Ernest Patillo, R. R. Freeman, Attorney Hutchins Inge, Preston Ingram and others. Rev. J. Lyle Caston, pastor; Broadway Baptist church of Columbia. Mo., formerly of St. Louis was present, also Rufus Logan of Kansas City. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JANUARY 13, 1921 Prominent Clergyman Suggests Such a Possibility in Event of War Between United States and Island Empire—Believes Color Affinity Might Unite Races ALLIANCE WOULD ENDANGER COUNTRY BOSTON, Mass., Jan. 13.—The Rev. Walter D. McClane, rector of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church, Cambridge, addressing a meeting called by the committee on race relationship of the Twentieth Century club, suggested that in event of a war between Japan and the United States, the Negroes of America might take sides with the Japanese. Thus allied with the Japanese, the Negroes, he said, could place the American people in an unfavorable position through their familiarity with the physical characterization of the country and their knowledge of the highways and byways. A friendly relation between the Japanese and the Negroes, he said, might result from the fact that both are of colored races. He discussed various causes of irritation of the Negro population toward the whites. He referred to the part the Negroes played in the world war, particularly to what the Senegalese troops did to turn the Germans back at the Marne. Alluding to the work of the Negro troops of the American army, he said that they fought for and secured democracy for others, but not for their own race, and told of a tablet placed in his church to the honor of men of the parish who died "for the triumph of justice throughout the world even though that same justice was denied them in their own land." In closing his remarks, he said: "We need the whites, and the time may come when they may need us." A dinner and the subsequent sneeches were part of a program laid out by the committee, a small gathering of professional and business people of the Negro race attending. The purpose of the meeting was to get a better mutual acquaintance and a clearer understanding of the problem between the white and the Negro races in Boston. The speakers included, besides Mr. McClane, John Graham Brooks, president of the Twentieth Century club; Matthew Bullock, secretary of the Urban League; Mrs. Butler R. Wilson, a social worker; the Hon.

R. Moton of Tuskegee Institute has issued the following report on lynching for the past year from the record compiled by Monroe N. Work, of the department of records and research of the Tuskegee Institute: "There were 56 instances in which officers of the law prevented lynchings. Of these, 10 were in northern states and 46 were in southern states. In 42 of the cases, the prisoners were removed or the guards were augmented or other precautions taken. In 14 instances armed force was used to repel the would-be lynchers. In 4 of these instances the mobs were fired upon and as a result 7 of the attackers were killed and several wounded. "There were 61 persons lynched in 1920. Of these, 52 were in the south and 9 in the north and west. This is 22 less than the number, 83, for the year 1919. Of those lynched 53 were Negroes, and 8 were whites. One of those put to death was a Negro woman. Eighteen or less than one-third of those put to death were charged with rape, or attempted rape.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 13.—The Association for the Advancement of Colored People was denounced before the house census committee by Representative Clark, Florida, as an organization composed of "meddling, fussing" persons "working on the ignorant Negroes of the South to keep themselves in good positions." "Its actions have made for racial clashes," he declared. Mr. Clark appeared before the committee to present further documentary evidence in reply to charges of representatives of the association that Negroes in Florida were discriminated against in the November election.

According to Plainclothesmen Hickey and Deasy, they were sent post haste to the Robertson residence when a call was received at the Frankstown avenue police station announcing the attack. They say they found Mrs. Robertson, her clothing torn to shreds lying upon a couch in a state of exhaustion and the entire house in disorder, with drawers pulled out and clothing and other articles strewn upon the floor. In several rooms furniture was overturned and broken, giving evidence of a terrible struggle. Afer close questioning upon the part of the police, it is said that the woman broke down and confessed that she had staged the robbery in hope of winning her husband to his home, he having developed a tendency to keep late hours, she said.

LEAGUE HEARS OF SLAVE TRAFFIC IN WEST AFRICA LONDON, Dec. 23.—(Delayed.)—Charges that there has been a recrudescence of slave trading practices over wide areas in Angola, a Portuguese possession in West Africa, have been presented to the assembly of the League of Nations by the Anti-Slavery and Aborigines Protection society. These charges are contained in the copy of a memorial previously sent to the British government, including evidence from Portuguese and other sources concerning alleged slave trading. The society appealed to the League of Nations to take cognizance of these charges and, if possible, secure an exhaustive inquiry into the whole system of Portuguese labor in West Africa.

With these words Mrs. Gertrude Clark confessed Wednesday, December 29, to District Attorney Maury Hughes that she "framed" charges of attempted criminal assault, burglary and robbery against Walter Stegall, Negro, held here for trial for alleged offense, for which hanging is the penalty in this state. Mrs. Clark did it, she said, to "save her home." According to Hughes, she told him she wanted to conceal her physical condition from her husband by simulating an attack of nervous prostration. But when county sleuths found she had pawned her wedding ring six days before the alleged robbery, she broke down and admitted she tied herself to her bed, told a story of attempted assault and later identified Stegall as her assailant. Stegall was to have been tried next week. He was held under heavy bond since his indictment by the grand jury. The serious charges against Stegall will be promptly withdrawn.

WILLIAMSON'S FRIDAY night, January 7, about 9:15 o'clock, three masked white men entered the drug store of E. A. Williamson, 2206 North Twenty-fourth street, and relieved his cash drawer of about $20. The bandits seem to have had plans well arranged for their getaway. Having appeared in a large car in front of the drug store, two entered the store, while one was apparently in the doorway. Mr. Williamson was in the rear of the store in the prescription department when the bandits entered. The men attempted to open his cash drawer which was about midway the store. Finding themselves unable to manipulate the machinery one went back to the rear and covered Mr. Williamson with a gun ordering him to come to the front and forcing him to open the cash register from which they took cash amounting to $20, disappearing from the store in a car going south on Twenty-fourth street. The bandits made their escape before anyone detected them.

DANGER SIGNAL A blue pencil mark on your paper means your subscription is due and must be paid at once or your paper will be stopped. A story of Alexander the Great and a kiss forms one of the most thrilling bits of history. An enemy of the king's invented a novel plot to cause Alexander's death. He discovered a beautiful young girl, who, like Rappacini's daughter in Hawthorne's story, had been brought up on deadly poison, and every one who came near her was killed by her deadly atmosphere. She was sent to the king's palace with instructions to do what would be called "vamping" today. Alexander saw and admired her extravagantly, but the shrewd Aristotle suspected treachery. Before he allowed the girl to approach the throne he sent for a criminal who had been sentenced to death, and instructed him to kiss the girl in the presence of the king. He fell dead on the ground, like one struck by lightning. The same story appears in folklore of India, and the early Christian monks made great use of it in their sermons, personifying the Christian as Alexander, conscience as Aristotle, sin as the venomous girl, and the weak sinner as the criminal who was punished. Disagree Over Famous Vine On Roanoke island, off the North Carolina coast, stands an ancient Scuppernong vine. It is near the grave of Virginia Dare and the site of the "Lost Colony." Nobody knows the age of that vine, but many nearby vines, which seem more youthful by comparison, actually are known to be more than one hundred years old. A regional contribution to American mythology credits Sir Walter Raleigh with having planted the vine where it now stands, and further claims are that it is the original Scuppernong, Unimaginative investigators, however, say that the original Scuppernong grew wild in Tyrrell county. North Carolina, along the Scuppernong river, well before 1760, and that from this county the species found its way to Roanoke island. THE KIDNAPER By JACK LAWTON. (© 1971, Western Newspaper Union.) Douglas reached the house at twilight. His brother had summoned him there, and he obeyed. Everyone obeyed when Robert ordered; his dominating spirit ruled them all. But in this errand Douglas was driven by the unusual motive of pity, unusual where Robert was concerned. It was hard that, following closely on the death of his wife, his brother must lose, also, his child. For though Lily had not been taken by death, her loss seemed almost as final. Detectives, working faithfully, failed to find a clew as to the disappearance of Robert Hartell's little girl. She had disappeared one evening, several weeks before, after her nurse had put her to bed for the night. The nurse, whom Robert Hartell retained, must have been sitting in an opposite room when the child was taken, yet she had heard no sound, nor had any person entered the room. It was supposed that Lily had been removed through the window, and her mouth muffled from outcry. Robert Hartell was a wealthy man and the kidnaping was believed to be a scheme for money. Yet no demand for ransom had been received. The mysterious case filled the papers and the father, wearied by it all, had gone in his car to an old rambling farm house which had been his parents, and was now his own—still kept that he or his family might spend summer days there as it pleased their fancy, while for months, and sometimes years, the great house remained vacant save for the old married servants who had known service there in years gone by. Robert had telephoned his brother that he was tired of the silent meditation which led nowhere, and intended to start that night for New York. He wished his brother during his absence to continue the search for his child, and it was to consult with Robert that Douglas resigned left his city office and made his way out to the lonely house on the hill. Robert, discouraged, was more tac-turn and disagreeable than ever, but the pity for him still filled Douglas heart and he realized that perhaps for the first time he was seeing beneath his brother's thorny disposition a latent tenderness. Suddenly, as he sat, a light shone from an opposite wing of the rambling building; then, plainly outlined in the far window, was a woman's slim figure. Even as Douglas looked, the woman stopped to pick up in her arms a small golden-haired girl. The little girl was Lilly, of that he was sure—the fair hair, the tinniness of her. At least he would learn at once what the unknown woman was doing in the house which, but an hour ago, his brother's housekeeper had assured him was untenanted save by themselves. With his pocket searchlight he traversed the dark unfrequented halls, and as he paused at the end of the last one, before him, like a vision shown through the open door, stood a beautiful woman and a clinging child. The child was Lilly. In a moment he had entered the room. The woman's face turned white and her arms clasped the child closer. "Who," she asked breathlessly, "are you? Why do you come here?" "I am Douglas Hartell," he answered promptly, "and I came to claim that little girl. She is my brother's child. You must know that. The papers have been filled with the case of her kidnapping. I must return the question: Who are you and how do you happen to be here?" The girl considered her questioner, her luminous eyes studying his face. Then quietly she replied, "I," she said, "am the kidnaper. I stole the baby from her cot—through the balcony window—and I hid here because I knew that it would be the last place Robert Hartell would think of searching." Douglas tried to speak; he came close to the culprit, as though forcibly to detain her; but the softness of her eyes was strangely disconcerting, while the child caressed lovingly her jailer. "You," he stammered, "confess to me—" "To you," the girl answered calmly, "because I am going to ask you to help me in concealing Lily." Douglas stared. It was all an unbelievable dream, the old bare room, the lovely unknown girl, her strange confession and the unexpected ending of his search. "Listen," she said eagerly, "I am Jane Ware, the sister of your brother's dead wife. You may have heard of me, though I never saw you. "I came to the city to care for my sister before she died, and I learned how that hard, soulless money making man had treated her. Slowly killing with his exactions and indifference. And I promised her then that her baby should never be under the same control. So, when Robert Hartell refused to give Lily to me, I stole her. And I do it again. Your old servants here have been brave enough to harbor us. They loved Lily's mother, and they knew well her father. When Robert Hartell shall have his lesson, when he has learned how to be kind, then only will I give Lily back to him. You are not like your brother—somehow I know. Will you help me?" Douglas laid a caressing hand on the child's golden head. his other hand clasped the girl's, and as he looked into her tear-filled eyes, his tone was very tender. "I will," he said.

After an Indian mound has been cleared and surveyed it is stripped of the surface sod and excavated by a series of trenches. One mound, says the Southern Workman, contained no less than 45 "bundle burials," with two "burials in the flesh" above of later date. These "bundle" burials were disarticulated skeletons that had been taken down from trees and made into bundles. In each "bundle," as a rule, were the bones of from two to four individuals. They were placed end to end, lengthways, north to south, and formed a layer some ten feet long and five feet wide. They were placed on a carefully prepared bed of alternate layers of golden and bright-red sands, evidently of ceremonial import, and surrounded by several stone altars. On these, appropriate sacrifices were made to the dead; there were signs of fire all about. Some half-burned human bones in well-preserved oak charcoal were found near the top, indicating that some poor captive had been burned at the stake to minister to the souls of the dead on their journey to the happy hunting grounds. In the top strata were found two skeletons, both of them strongly fixed, with the knees drawn up to the chin. They were evidently of considerable age, but of later origin than the "bundle" burials. In fact, all the bones in this group of mounds showed extreme signs of decomposition. It was necessary to "paint" them all with a transfusing fluid the minute they were exposed to the air. These two skeletons were perhaps the remains of people who had died during the construction of the mounds and were given burial in the top of them. REALM OF DEATH ON EARTH Country in the Vicinity of Mount Vesuvius Graphically Portrayed by Gifted Frenchwoman. The country at the foot of Vesuvius is the most fertile and best cultivated of the kingdom most favored by heaven in all Europe. The celebrated Lacryma Christi vine flourishes beside land totally devastated by lava, as if nature here made a last effort and resolved to perish in her richest array. As you ascend you turn to gaze on Naples and on the fair land about it—the sea sparkles in the sun as if strewn with jewels; but all the splendors of creation are extinguished by degrees, as you enter the region of ashes and smoke, that announce your approach to the volcano. The iron waves of other years have traced large black furrows in the soil. At a certain height birds are no longer seen; further on plants become very scarce; then even insects find no nourishment. At last all life disappears; you enter the realm of death, and the stain earth's dust slips beneath your unassured feet—Madame De Stael. Armenia First Christian Nation. The Armenians are an Aryan race and probably emigrated from Europe into Asia Minor centuries before the Christian era. Their language belongs to the Indo-European group of languages. Their king was converted to Christianity as early as 301 A. D., and Armenia then became the first Christian nation of the world. The Armenian civilization has been established for centuries. The position of the country on the highway between Asia and Europe has subjected it to invasion and subjugation at various periods by the Assyrians, Medes, Greeks, Romans, Persians and Turks. From the Fourteenth century to the late war, the greatest part of Armenia was under Turkish rule.

America's interest arises from sympathy with an oppressed race that has for so long upheld Christian civilization in the Near East. There is in Cuba a curious grass, Cenehrus echinatus, which bristles with tiny sharp-pointed spikelets upon which multitudes of insects are impaled, by night as well as by day. The wings of the victims are pierced and entangled by the barbed spikes, so that most of them are unable to get away, and thus perish miserably. Even a large, luminous snapping beetle, which is so strong and active that it can with difficulty be held in the hand, falls a victim to these vegetable bayonets. It has been observed, however, that two species of insects, a large bug, Oebalus, and an earwig, readily free themselves from the spikes. Minute insects are not caught. The grass does not appear to derive any nourishment from its prey. It is found elsewhere in the West Indies and in southern Florida.

The city of Lawrence accepted the offer, and today on its common is one of the finest flagstaffs in the world. SCENE OF MAJESTIC BEAUTY Table Mountain, for Many Reasons, Is Superior to Any of the Earth's Great Peaks. I have seen many flat-topped kopjes in Africa. I have seen the bare and golden Atlas range drop away into the golden sands of Mogador, but I have never seen anything resembling its mighty mass which is the dominant, the royal fact of the Cape Peninsula. . . . It is by virtue of its mass and the colossal buttressed cliffs which form its walls that Table mountain is majestic, as also by the abruptness of its rise from the visible sea-level. The height of inland mountains is a matter of faith rather than sight; but this mountain, like Etna and the Peak of Teneriffe and others whose roots are in the sea, announces its stature at once to the eye. It rises more immediately from the sea than either of these, yet not so immediately as it appears to do when seen from the bay. It throws out toward the ocean low spurs of mingled rock TELEPHONE WEBSTER 4824 YOU HO'S HERE! Jazz Hounds ITS ey Blues" cky" these Records, GRAPH CO. EET and green banks. In spring these grassy banks are all set with flowers. Among them is a pretty white flower, about the size of a narcissus, though different in shape, of which I have seen a bouquet in England, many weeks after it had been gathered at the Cape, standing in a vase without water and still quite fresh. . . . — Margaret L. Woods. Sheep Shearing In Australia. Shaarers in Australia are paid by the number of sheep they shear, but the ranch helpers are paid by the week. Averaging everything, from young wethers, which are hard, to old ewes, which are easy, a good man will shear about 90 to 100 sheep a day. The actual record is 327 sheep shorn by a Queensland shearer in nine hours. And other big records have been made. But that was probably years back with the "blades," when the fleeces were five-pound and six-pound, and not nine-pound and ten-pound, as they are today. World's Jute Comes From India. World's Jute Comes From India. Of sub-tropical products India gives us the whole of the world's jute and a large proportion of its hemp. Some 500,000 tons of jute are exported annually. Thirty years ago Indian indigo was the world's standard blue, but the vegetable dyes of India have been destroyed by the German aniline dyes and the principal victim has been indigo. Many of the Works of the Greek Philosophers, Plato and Aristotle, Are Still Preserved. Plato (427-347 B. C.), the celebrated Greek philosopher, taught that the true source of knowledge is the reason, observes an exchange. According to his teaching, we come to consciousness through innate ideas developed by contact with the outer world through senses. He distinguished between empirical knowledge and reason, and divided philosophy into logic, metaphysics and morals. He was the first to attempt the construction of philosophic language; to develop an abstract idea of knowledge and science; to state logically the properties of matter, form, substance, accident, cause and effect, reality and appearance; to describe the divinity as a being essentially good, and tell of his moral attributes. He taught that matter is an eternal and infinite principle; that God is the supreme intelligence, incorporeal, without beginning, end or change, and that the soul of man is immortal. Aristotle (384-322 B. C.), another celebrated Greek philosopher, was the pupil of Plato and the teacher of Alexander the Great. He makes logic the instrument by which all general knowledge is obtained. He enlarged the limits of philosophy to include all sciences except history. He taught that nature is a machine, active through deity or a first cause. CATFISH CLIMB SMOOTH WALL Certain Species Equipped With a Peculiar Suction Apparatus That Makes Feat Really Easy. An interesting account of the climbing catfish of Colombia (Arges marmoratus) was published a few years ago by R. D. O. Johnson. These fish can climb, by means of suction apparatus, not only up the steeply-clined bed of mountain torrent, but even up a smooth, vertical surface. Mr. Johnson saw some of them climb a vertical distance of 18 feet in half an hour, up a wall of rock over which trickled a thin film of water. In connection with a recent publication of this article, G. K. Noble states that other species of fish are known to climb in the same manner. Several of these occur in the Himalaya. Nemachilus rupicola, and perhaps other species of mountain cyprinids, adhere to the rocks by means of their smooth ventral skin and enlarged lips. The silurid genera Pseudecheneis and Glyptosternum cling by means of a well-developed abdominal sucker. The mountain torrents of the Himalaya form the nursery for many species of frogs. Their tadpoles, like the fish, have become adapted to their location; some cling by means of their lips and ventral musculature, while others possess a well-developed ventral sucker—Scientific American. How It Looks to One Pair of Eyes. It is delightful to think how new everything is, spite of description. Never believe . . . that there is an old world. There is no such place, on my honor! You will find England, France, Italy, and the East, after all you have read and heard, as altogether new as if they were created by your eye, and were never sung, painted, nor bewritten—you will indeed. Why—to be sure—what were the world else? . . . Pen and ink cannot take the gloss off your eyes, nor can any man look through them as you do. I do not believe the simplest matter—sunshine or verdure—has exactly the same look to any two people in the world. How much less a human face—a landscape—a broad kingdom? Travelers are very pleasant people. They tell you what picture was produced in their brain by the things they saw. . . How it looks to one pair of eyes; would be a good reminder penciled on the margin of many a volume—N. Parker Willis' a Rural Letters. "Land of the Mind." A French author once coined the phrase: "The land of the mind." It is a realm that many of us have forgotten. There the imagery is real; there death is unknown, and the only riches are men's thoughts. With every age it grows in splendor. Dickens, Milton, Shakespeare, Hugo—these and countless others have left their all for those who travel there. The demands of existence have blinded some of us to the joys that lie in such travels. As children we reamed the fields of imagination, but now we believe-only in the material. Yet we call ourselves wise. The dreary nights of winter are ahead. Why not cheat them of their dreariness, and on the wings of literature journey to the Land of the Mind?—Portland Oregonian. Ordered Maypole Cut Down. John Endicott was the Puritan who caused a Maypole at Salem, Mass., to be cut down. Sent to Salem by a settlement company, Endicott displayed his stern opposition to all "vain amusements" by cutting down a Maypole, which had been put up by an earlier settlement attempted at Cape Ann by Rev. John White, who had been rector of Trinity church, Rochester, England. Endicott named the place Salem, the Hebrew word for "peaceful," and lectured the people on the folly of amusements. He was a most rigid Puritan in thought and manner. Endicott was commissioned governor of the colony. By MARGUERITE RAND. (© 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) Little Mrs. Fenway sat alone in her pretty living room, too miserable even to wipe away the tears that rolled steadily down her checks. Unheeded, they splashed upon the new gingham dress that she had bought only a week ago because Tom liked to see her in pink and white. Even the baby's gurgling laugh out on the porch could not win a smile from her; indeed, it added to her wretchedness, for was not the baby, that most adorable bit of humanity, the cause of all her trouble? "Oh, dear," wept Mrs. Fenway, "I wouldn't have believed that Tom could be so brutal! What shall I do? Oh, I'm so miserable!" Suddenly, like a ray of hope, came the thought of Aunt Marcia. "She always helped me out of my troubles at school; perhaps she can think of some way to help me now." Dabbing some powder on her nose, and hoping that no one would notice her red eyes, she hurried to the telegraph station, and an hour later Aunt Marcia was thrown into consternation by the following message: "Am in a dreadful trouble. Can't you come at once? Dot." The old lady was busy preserving peaches, but with visions of terrible calamities before her, she left the fruit to its fate, hastily packed a bag and responded to her niece's call. "Well, Dot, what's the matter?" she asked as soon as the first greetings were over. "Mercy! how you frightened me! Is the baby sick?" "Well, is anything the matter with Tom? Where is he? For heaven's sake, tell me what the trouble is!" At these questions the flood-gates opened again, and between sobs Dot gasped: "I don't know. He hasn't been home for three whole days and nights." "Not come home!" echoed Aunt Marcia in astonishment. "Why not?" "We—we quarreled," groaned Dot. "Just because I love the baby so much. He says I won't go anywhere, or have any fun, or—or do anything." "Well, is it true?" asked Aunt Marcia briskly. "Maybe it is," acknowledged Dot. "But how can I bear to leave my baby? He's so adorable. Why, Aunt Marcia, even when he's asleep it's lovely just to sit by his crib and watch him breathing softly. Tom thought so at first, but now he wants to go out to theaters and dinners, instead of staying at home with our own lovely, precious baby." "Oh, good heavens!" ejaculated Aunt Marcia. "You don't suppose Tom Fenway's whole nature is changed just because you and he have a baby, do you? Tom was always the most popular fellow in town. Of course, he isn't going to settle down at home with nothing to do but hang over a baby's cradle—even as fine a baby as Tom, Jr." finished Aunt Marcia proudly. "That's just what he said—that he couldn't spend all his time hanging over baby's crib. Our own darling baby! Oh, wasn't he brutal?" "Not a bit of it," laughed Aunt Marcia. "He's sensible. Now look here, you don't want to lose Tom altogether, do you?" "No, no!" dotted Dot miserably. "I couldn't live without Tom." Her eyes widened with sudden fear. "Why, you don't think—" "Yes, I do." Aunt Marcia's tone was decisive. "Tom's bound to enjoy life, and if you won't share his pleasures, some one else will. You'd better make up with him, that's my advice. The nurse is competent to take care of the baby, isn't she?" "Yes." Dot spoke slowly, "she knows more about babies than I do. I do want Tom to come home, but I can't ask him to. I don't believe he loves me or the baby, or he wouldn't have gone away." "Nonsense!" Aunt Marcia laughed ruthlessly, "You hate to give in, that's all; but you'd better pocket your pride. Doesn't he come to see the baby?" "No, not here," sobbed Dot. "He said he wouldn't until I was ready to be what he calls sensible. But he stops in the park every day when baby is out with his nurse. I can see them from my window." "Well," suggested Aun* Marcia, "can't you walk through the park and pretend that you've met him by accident?" Dot pondered a moment, then a mischievous smile brought out the dimples in her cheeks. Late next afternoon Aunt-Marcia sat sewing in the living room when Dot danced in, her eyes shining and a big box of roses in her hands. Upstairs a cheerful whistle sounded from Tom's room. "It worked, didn't it?" said Aunt Marcia with a smile. "Oh, you old dear, let me bug you," exclaimed Dot impulsively. "I'm so glad I followed your advice. Tom really loves baby just as much as I do, but he has different ways of showing it. Now I've got to dress, for we're going to the theater tonight. Tom says we don't want to turn into stupid, old-fashioned parents yet. We've got to keep ourselves young and jolly, especially on account of the baby." "That's right," called Aunt Marcia as Dot flew up the stairs, "and while you're dressing I will pack my bag. I've got to get home to those peaches." THE MONITOR PEANUT BUTTER GIVES R FLAVOR TO NUME Peanut Butter Can Be Made Easily at Home by Peanuts Through a Meat Gr A woman in an apron is preparing a meal on a table with various dishes and glasses. Besides making an excellent sandwich filling, peanut butter can be used to give flavor to a number of dishes that are cheap, easy to make, and very wholesome. The "butter," which really is just finely ground peanuts to which salt has been added, can be made at home very easily by putting freshly roasted peanuts through a meat grinder after the red skins have been removed from them. The machine should be adjusted to grind as fine as possible. If salt is added to the nuts before they are ground it is generally mixed in more thoroughly. The following recipes, which are a little out of the ordinary, are recommended by home economics specialists may be used instead of the lemon juice and soda. Peanut Butter and Tomato Soup. A soup as nutritious as the ordinary purée of vegetables may be easily made as follows: $$\frac{1}{2} \text{ cupfuls tomato} \frac{1}{4} \text{ teaspoonful paprika}$$ $$\frac{1}{2} \text{ cupful peanut} \frac{2}{3} \text{ cupfuls boiling water}$$ 1 teaspoonful salt. Add the tomato juice gradually to the peanut butter, and when smooth add the seasonings and water. Simmer for ten minutes and serve with croutons. Well-seasoned soup stock may be substituted for the water; but, if used, the quantity of salt should be reduced. PRESERVING FRUITS BY FREEZING URGED Has More Natural Flavor Than Canned Product. Useful in Making Ice Creams and Sherbets and for Cooking Pies, Preserves, Jellies and Various Other Desserts. That the utilization of freezing storage for the preservation of berries, other small fruits and tomatoes could be profitably extended is the belief of specialists of the bureau of markets, United States Department of Agriculture. Many ice cream manufacturers and canners would be benefited by adopting practicable methods of holding such products for manufacturing purposes, say the specialists. It is pointed out that the preservation of fruits by freezing is cheaper than canning them, especially when tin containers are scarce and costly as at present; and that the frozen fruit, held at the proper temperatures, has a more natural flavor than canned or dried fruit. The experimenters found fruit preserved by freezing to be fully as satisfactory as fresh fruit and superior to canned or dried fruit for use in making ice creams and sherbets, and for cooking into ples, preserves, jellies and other desserts and confections. The frozen fruits after thawing are not well suited for eating alone in a raw state, but are considered very palatable when eaten before they have completely thawed. When used as ingredients for desserts and confections best results will be obtained if they are combined before they are free from ice. HOUSEHOLD HINTS Steaks and chops are higher in price than roasts and contain more waste. * * * In ironing a shirt always iron the body part first, then the bosom and cuffs. * * * When making creamed tomato soup mix a little soda with a teaspoonful of corn starch and add it to the cream before pouring it into the tomato mixture. This will prevent curdling. --- Besides making an excellent sandwich filling, peanut butter can be used to give flavor to a number of dishes that are cheap, easy to make, and very wholesome.

The following recipes, which are a little out of the ordinary, are recommended by home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. As a Substitute for Meat. Meat substitutes, especially for luncheon or supper, have been found by many housekeepers to be a successful way of keeping down the food bill and of giving more variety to the meals. Peanut butter souffle has a rich, nutty flavor and fluffy texture, and when made by this recipe supplies a little more protein and considerably more fuel than a pound of average beef. With eggs at 60 cents a dozen and peanut butter at 35 cents a pound the materials will cost about 35 cents and will serve about four persons. Peanut Butter Souffle. 2-8 cupful peanut juice. butter. 1 cupful soft, stale cupful tomato breadcrumbs. juice. 1 teaspoonful salt. ½ teaspoonful onion 3 eggs. Mix together the first five ingredients, add the well-beaten yolks of the eggs and fold in the stiffly beaten whites. Pour the mixture into a buttered baking dish and cook in a moderate oven for about 20 minutes. If desired, water and a little lemon juice may be used instead of the tomato. Serve the souffle with tomato sauce made as follows: 2 teaspoonfuls buttermor or other fat. 2 tablespoonfuls flour. Melt the butter, add the flour and cook for about a minute. Add the tomato juice and salt and stir the sauce until it thickens. Either skim milk or water flavored with tomato catsup may be used instead of the tomato juice in making this sauce. An Economical Pudding. A cottage pudding without eggs, butter or milk may seem like no pudding at all, but here is a recipe for peanut butter cottage pudding that is nutritious and good even though it contains none of these things. Moreover it is so hearty, that the main part of the meal may be somewhat-less substantial than usual. Peanut Butter Cottage Pudding. 1 teaapoounful salt. % cupful peanut 1 teaapoounful soda. butter. 1½ cupfuls water. 2 tablespoonfuls 1½ cupfuls flour. lemon juice. % cupful peanut butter 1 teaspoonful of soda. 1½ cupfuls water. 1½ cupfuls flour. Sift the flour, salt and soda together. Sift the water, peanut butter, lemon juice and sugar, and stir in the dry ingredients. Beat the mixture thoroughly, bake it in muffin pans, and serve with chocolate or other pudding sauce. If desired, four teaspoonfuls of baking powder may be substituted for the soda and lemon juice. Peanut Butter Drop Cookies Cookies with chopped peanuts in them or on the top have long been favorites in many families. Cookies made by the following recipe have the same rich flavor and are economical because the peanut butter replaces eggs, milk and butter in the ordinary recipes for sugar cookies, and are easy to make because the peanuts are already ground. Children, particularly, will enjoy these cookies if given to them with milk or with a simple dessert. 1 cupful peanut butter 2 cupfuls flour. ter. 1 teaspoonful salt. 1 cupful sugar. 1 teaspoonful soda. 2 tablespoonfuls 1 cupful water. lemon juice. Rub together the peanut butter, sugar and lemon juice, and add the flour, in which has been sifted the salt and soda. Gradually stir in the water. Drop the mixture by spoonfuls on a greased tin and bake for about 20 minutes in a moderate oven. If desired two teaspoonfuls of baking powder RABBIT PIE Skin, draw and cut a rabbit into pieces; put into stew pan and cover with bolling water. Cook until very tender. Remove meat from the broth and concentrate the broth to about one-half. Pick the meat from the bones in as large pieces as possible. Thicken stock with one tablespoonful flour per cupful of broth and pour over meat. Add two tablespoonful salt and one-eighth teaspoonful pepper. Line the sides of a baking dish with crust, either a rich baking powder biscuit dough or pie paste, add meat mixture, cover with crust and bake in hot oven 30 minutes. How it Works Out.

MEMBER OF MICRO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE AMERICA AWAKENING THE fact that during the past year fourteen mobs bent on lynching were stopped by armed forces and seven members of attacking mobs slain shows that America has awakened to the necessity of putting down mobocracy with a strong hand. She must do this in self defense. The manace of the mob, because its activities have been almost exclusively directed against hapless and apparently helpless black folk, has not been fully grasped by the American people. The tendency to condone mobs has been all too prevalent and has been a prolific propagator of this vicious species of lawlessness. America must destroy the mob or the mob will destroy America. America is awakening to this fact. A SIGNIFICANT EVENT LAST Wednesday W. G. Moore took his oath of office as a member of the Missouri legislature, the first of his race to be so honored in that state. When one recalls that Missouri was one of the slave states and was ranked with "the solid South," until she earned the cognomen of "mysterious stranger" by casting her vote for a republican president in the person of Roosevelt, the seating of Representative Moore becomes the more strikingly significant. That within a little more than half a century the descendant of an enslaved people should become a legislator in the very state in which his ancestors were slaves shows how rapidly we are making progress. POOR ARGUMENT REPRESENTATIVE Clark of Florida, instead of frothing at the mouth concerning the activities of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, would serve his constituents and his country much better by frankly acknowledging that large numbers of Negro voters were not permitted to vote in his state at the last election and by devoting his influence to prevent a want on recurrence of this violation of the constitution of the United States, the provisions of which he has taken solemn oath to uphold. Evasion and denial do not alter the facts. Denunciation of organizations or individuals who present evidence to substantiate their charges will not pass for argument with the public. Denunciation is poor argument. CONSCIENCE CRIES WITHIN the last few months The Monitor has carried several news items in which white women, smitten by an accusing conscience, have admitted that they had lied when they had raised the sensational and damning cry that they had been victims of rape or attempted rape by Negroes. Among the more recent of such cases will be readily recalled—that of Miss Fannie Brasher, night telephone operator at Middlesboro, Ky., reported in our issue of December 23, who was forced to admit by the authorities, after they had made a fruitless effort to apprehend the "nigger" in the case and asked her to explain the presence of the red hair in her teeth, taken from the head of her assailant, that James Thompson, white, her jilted lower, had been her assailant. Conscience had little to do with this confession, but tell-tale evidence. Another case that will be recalled was that of the Washington woman who had the police scouring the suburbs of the capitol city for "two Negroes" who had attacked her as she "was leaving the carnival grounds." New Jersey gave us a similar case. Two or three southern and one western state have furnished like stories, which were subsequently repudiated. We carry in this issue two news items of a similar nature, one from Dallas, Tex., where the confession of Mrs. Gertrude Clark, that she had framed charges of attempted criminal assault against an innocent man, resulted in his being given his freedom, and another from Pittsburgh, Pa. It is horrible to contemplate how many innocent Negroes have been lynched and given to the flames by the accusation of some conscienceless woman who perhaps to protect some jilted lover, as in the case of the Kentucky girl, or to shield themselves when overtaken in sin, has wilfully and deliberately lied. That so many cases have come to light recently where confessions of this character have been made should make the American public realize that there should not be too much alacrity in giving charges of this character credence. It should also serve as a warning to men of our race to maintain circumspection and to be most cautious of their actions toward women of the opposite race. They should be careful to avoid anything that seems to approach familiarity. SNYCOPATED SPASMS IN every city and hamlet of these little old United States of America, we find a small crowd of cullud people calling themselves the "society folks." It is the same everywhere. Try it out in Noo York, Bostun, Chi, K. C., Omyha, Denvuh, Los Angee-leeze, or anywhere else and they are all the same. Usually they have accumulated a little dough, bought quite a bit of furniture on the installment plan and dressed up in a few duds from a credit house. They tilt their proboseuses at an angle of forty-five degrees and look upon the rest of their race as necessary evils. But ask them what they know and that moment they get scared and start making it cover. Now real society is something worth while, but it takes something besides dough, nice furniture and a few glad rags to make real society folks. In fact, the qualities that go to make up society are real inside materials. The first necessity is a humane disposition that wants to see everybody up and nobody down. This doesn't mean that you must go along the highways and hug every hobo you see and invite him into your parlor. But it does mean that you must not pass everybody by as if you were the only puffy persimmon in the world. Secondly, society requires that you have something in your bean besides garbage. You should know something about life, literature and the finer arts. If you don't you have no more reason to claim yourself a society bug that a bedbug has to claim himself a butterfly. You're phony.

You can't bust up the decalogue and still expect to be called a social light. You've got to come clean. When you try to tell the public that you are better than most people, it is up to you to live better, do better and act better. If you are a man, you can't make love to every female you see, and if you are a woman, you can't make goo-goo eyes at every man you see. You have got to be decent, and if you are not, Good-bye! Don't criticize your neighbor's fault, no matter what they do. Don't ridicule the masses, or malign the chosen few. Don't think yourself a censor of the silly human flock. And just remember, as you go, that any chump can knock. Don't laugh at those who make mistakes, or stumble by the way. For you are apt to follow them, and almost any day. Don't think that others are shifting sand, and you a solid rock. And don't forget, for heaven's sake, that any chump can knock. Don't be a puller-down of fame on other men conferred. Don't give a parting knock to one who fallen because he erred. And now, once more, just bear in mind that any chump can knock. OMAHA ASKED TO HELP IN FIGHT FOR JUSTICE A Self-Explanatory Letter to Local Branch N. A. A. C. P. Dear Mr. Black: In June of last year, three colored men were lynched by a mob in Duluth, Minn., on the charge that they had criminally assaulted a voeng white girl of the community while other colored men held a pistol to the head of the white man who was the girl's escort. Subsequent investigation by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People cast very grave doubts on the truthfulness of the girl's statements. After being assaulted by six "burly" Negroes, as she claims, she walked a half mile to a street car, rode home and said nothing to her parents. Medical examination later showed that she had not ben raped. Thirteen colored men were arrested charged with the crime. The Duluth branch, organized after the lynchings, and aided by the St. Paul and Minneapolis branches immediately started raising a fund with which they employed Attorneys F. L. Barnett of Chicago, R. C. McCullough of Duluth and Charles Scratchins of Bemidji. Up to the present time, these branches have raised $1,200. As a result of their efforts, one of the defendants was fired by the verdict of the jury which thoroughly discredited the stories of the alleged rape; five were discharged by order of the court and on December 17 six men were dismissed at the request of the prosecuting attorney. The thirteenth man was convicted on the testimony of a physician that he was infected with venereal disease. Later, examination by a specialist, proved that he was not infected. After his conviction, his case was appealed and comes up for trial on January 17, and with the final effort now being made will undoubtedly be acquitted, thus proving that the Duluth lynchings were not caused by the charge originally made.

The cost of the transcript of the court record for the state supreme court will be $400 and the other expenses, such as court costs, the furnishing of abstracts, briefs and arguments, should not exceed $500. The national office has contributed $100 to this defense fund. It would have given more had not heavy expenditures made that impossible. We are appealing to the Omaha branch, asking that you make an appeal through the branch and the local churches immediately for funds to complete so great a victory. I do not need to point out to you that the acquittals will not affect Duluth alone. They will mean that the colored people accused of crime will be defended in all northern states and that there will not be a substitution of Mississippi conditions in the north. Contributions should be sent directly to H. R. Merry, president of the Duluth branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at 718 Eighth Avenue East, Duluth Minn., at the same time advising this office of the amount sent. PARADED IN WEDDING FINERY Peculiar Custom of Eighteenth-Century New England Would Seem to Put Premium on Vanity. An unusual custom in vogue in New England in the Eighteenth century which caused newly married couples to appear at church on the four Sundays following their union dressed in all the bridal finery they could get together, is recorded by Edward J. Morris in his book, "The Psychology of Dress." "This, of course, stimulated a rivalry between families, not likely to further the Puritan aim of modesty in appearance. Those who could afford had four distinct sets of finery, one for each Sunday, that there might be no monotony for those who formed the audience. In many communities a pew was set apart in which the bridal pair was shown, so that the congregation knew just where to look for the objects of interest. "These selected seats were often in the gallery, sometimes the front pews of the center aisle, and at times in other prominent places. The couple generally arrived a bit late, that the observers might all be seated before their arrival; then they walked slowly arm in arm to the assigned seats, while the entire congregation gave their hushed and respectful attention. At an appointed time, generally just before the sermon, the couple arose and turned slowly around two or three times, that every angle of their appearance might be viewed; they then sat down." The new baby twins looked as alike two peas in a pod. Harold stood poking at them and, looking up at his father he asked, "and aren't there even efts or rights to 'em?' Subscribe for The Monitor.

When Horace Greeley gave the young men of America a loose foot by seying, some decades ago: "Go West, young man," he incidentally succeeded in getting a very fine brand of potatoes named for himself, writes William G. Shepherd in the Saturday Evening Post. A group of men who went to the West at that time settled in a district north of Denver and east of the Rocky mountains, and perhaps, because they thought of nothing else to raise, they planted potatoes. About them, in the highlands, the only wild potatoes in the United States were growing luxuriantly. This district is similar climatically and otherwise to the highland district in Chile, where explorers are believed to have come across the potato for the first time. These Colorado wild potatoes propagated themselves by means of seeds, and it is from the pools of these seeds that the Colorado potato experts get the material by means of which they have produced the Greeleyville potato. Eastern railroads, on which huge baked potatoes, served in the dining cars, have come to be strong allies of the messenger agent and heavy drawers of patronage, send to the Colorado district for the potato giants. Transcontinental railroads which use the northern route send men into the Montana and Dakota fields to pick out, almost by hand, huge potatoes which have been grown from the Colorado seed. "SIMON PURE" A STAGE HERO Name of Hero of Popular Comedy Has Become Synonymous for the Genuine Article. The expression, "Simon Pure," meaning "the real man," had its origin in the name of a Pennsylvania Quaker in Mrs. Centlervie's comedy, "A Bold Stroke for a Wife." Being about to visit London to attend the quarterly meeting of his sect, Aminadab Holdfast sends a letter of recommendation and introduction by his friend, Simon Pure, to another Quaker, who is guardian of Anne Lovely, a young lady reputed to have a fortune of £30,000. Colonel Feignwell, another character in the same play, being enamored of Miss Lovely and her fortune, avails himself of an accidental discovery of the letter of introduction and succeeds in passing himself off as Simon Pure. But virtue is triumphant in the end. Simon Pure appears with his witnesses and the scoundrelly Feignwell is exposed. The play scored a great success, and the name of "Simon Pure" was gradually applied to anything which was genuine and above imitation. Twilight Varies With Latitude. Twilight is the diffused illumination of the sky which immediately precedes sunrise and follows sunset. When the sun sets below the horizon we are not at once plunged into total darkness. There is an intermediate period of partial and slowly increasing darkness. That period is twilight. It is caused by the reflection of the sunlight by dust and particles of water vapor in the upper atmosphere. The same phenomenon occurs just before sunrise, and, to distinguish it from the evening twilight, is called dawn. Dawn begins and twilight ends when the sun is about eighteen degress below the horizon, and consequently their duration varies with the latitude and season of the year. The higher the latitude the smaller the angle at which the sun's path meets the horizon, and hence the longer it takes the sun to sink a distance of eighteen degrees below the horizon. In the tropics twilight rarely is longer than thirty minutes, while in the north of Scotland about the middle of summer there are several nights on which twilight fills the entire interval between sunset and sunrise. A new field for wood has been opened by the use of what is called ply-wood and glue made from the blood of the animals killed at the slaughter house and of the caseln, obtained from milk. Remarkable sturdiness under all conditions has been shown by this combination. The combination was first thought of in connection with the manufacture of airplanes. Thin sheets of wood are laid one Glue Stronger Than Steel. over the other with dry sheets of paper coated on both sides with the new glue. The mass is then heated under pressure and the result is that a structure is formed which is stronger than steel and has many other advantages over metal. Panels were glued together with these and tested in boiling water for eight hours. At the expiration of this time none of the pieces showed any separation of the plies. Seat of the Trouble. Herbert often complained about the peculiar disposition of his small cousin, with whom he could not get along well. After a recent disagreement he came into the house out of patience and excclaimed: "Well mother, James and I might just as well quit trying to be friends if he is my cousin. We just can't agree. He's too full of human nature."

NEW ERA OPENS IN HISTORY OF OUR NORTHLAND Flight of Daring Army Aviators to Alaska Means the Dawn of New Day. GREAT REJOICING IN WRANGELL Thrilling Story of Their Arrival in the Land of Ice and Snow Is Told—Alaskans Hold Celebration In Honor of Event. New York.—When, in 1846, President Polk signed with Great Britain a compromise treaty which extended the Canadian border line from the Rocky mountains to the Pacific ocean on parallel 49, he settled the long-drawn-out controversy over the Oregon boundary and hushed for all time the campaign slogan, "54-40 or fight," which had come to be a very insistent one during the middle forties. There was a wait of twenty-one years before a more prophetic imagination, a wider vision, flung our coast line to the farthest limit of the continent by the purchase from Russia of that vast storehouse of mineral, agricultural and timber wealth, the wonder world of Alaska. A new era in the history of our far northland, says Aid Service News Letter, began on August 14, 1920, the date on which the four army airplanes, piloted by those daring aviators, Capt. St. Clair Street and Lieuts. Clifford C. Nutt, C. H. Crumrine and Ross Kirkpatrick, with observers and mechanicians, Sergt, Edmund Henriques Leunt, Eric H. Nelson and Sergts James Long and Joseph E. English, in the 9,000-mile transcontinental flight from New York to Nome and return, made the jump from Hazleton, Dominion of Canada, to Wrangell, territory of Alaska. A Day of Joy. $ ^{*} $ We can picture what the scene was like when the filers first reached Alaskan soil. It was Saturday, and, when it became known that the filers were expected that afternoon, the mayor of Wrangell declared a holiday. Flags were hoisted over the principal buildings of the town. Mill whistles blew and bells rang that all might set out for the landing field at Sergelf island, made ready for the arrival and in charge of Sergt. W. W. McLaughlin. All during the afternoon small boats were leaving, loaded with passengers. At noon the Barrington Transportation company's "Hazel B. No. 3" left the dock, floating a big scow, both boat and scow loaded to the limit with sight-seers. Meanwhile no news had come from Hazelton saying just when the filers had left for Wrangell. There was no way of guessing the hour when they would arrive. All eyes scanned the sky. The hands of the clock turned relentlessly, cutting away the afternoon. One o'clock, 2, 3, 4. Some discouraged spectators turned their faces, homeward, making ready to take the back back to Wrangell. Suddenly there was a shout: "There they come." And the four planes came humming overhead, circling the landing field. With a dip and whirr that thrilled the spectators, Lleut. Kirkpatrick came to earth at sixty miles an hour. The three other planes followed in quick succession, plane No.1, with Capt. Street, commander of the squadron, being the last to leave the air. In seven minutes from the time the first plane landed, all four had come to earth, and in spite of recent rains that had caused a wet field, all were happy landings. No One Worked That Day. So the great deed was done. The work was accomplished. The 3,000 miles between New York and Alaska had been cut to less than fifty flying bours. The journey itself was to continue 1,500 miles farther, to Fairbanks, to Ruby, to Nome. But the reality of the accomplishment was established when they touched Alaskan soil at Wranglen. Little wonder that the town made holiday; that Mayor Grant welcomed the filers; that Gov. Riggs and the mayor of Juneau and others sent telegrams. Little wonder the filers were feasted and feted. The occasion warranted it. Here were eight men who had traveled across the continent to Sergifg island where, in the days of the Cassiar gold stampede, hundreds of argonauts had camped waiting for the ice to open and clear the way to Stikline river; where hundreds, too, had taken breath in that breathless and historic Klondike rush, when many had perished. The story of Alaska would have been another story had aviation been a working proposition in 1897; the history of Alaska will be a different history dating from August 14, 1920. The flight to Alaska has a much wider significance than a mere spectacular one. The war department, through its air service, has not leapt itself to the showman's game. Excessive speed or sensational performances have not been covered, notably in the London-Australia flight. In the New York-Nome tour, at no time was there a jump of more than 320 miles nor an altitude higher than 10,000 feet. At the same time it must be borne in mind that the flight was not without hazard. There are pleasant places to be stranded with a wrecked airplane than the Canadian Rockies or the uncharged wilds of Alaska. A flight in almost any other direction on United States territory offers more friendly harbors and hauler landing fields. Significance of the Fight. Significance of the Right. But, back of it all, the Alaskan flight had a deep significance. It was undertaken by the war department for a three-fold purpose and with the cordial co-operation of the Candiana government, and the aid of the weather bureaues of both countries. The first great purpose in view is the photographing and preliminary surveying for the opening of a route to Alaska. The second is the establishing of a relay mail and commercial air route which will cut the time from Alaska to the states from weeks to days. The third is the mapping of some 3,500 square miles of unexplored country about the flats of the upper Yukon river—a three days' task for the four flying photographers, but a labor of three years and many men for a ground surveying party. With these three purposes in view, therefore, it needs no prophetic vision to see what changes 3 to be wrought in Alaska's future by the coming of the four airplanes to Alaska soil on August 14 last. Little wonder, as we have said, that their advent was hailed with reloicing by the far distant and farseeing Alaskans who had hazarded their lives and their fortunes upholding the upbuilding of Alaska's future. According to the "Wrangell Sentinel," which gave its whole front page of August 19 to a story of the arrival NEBRASKA Succeeding "THE R Manager or the airmen, Capt. Street, who had bought at Edmonton a water-proof coat with a fur collar and lined with unclipped lamb skin, and, at Wrangell, a pair of loggers' rubber packs and a pair of socks, that would weigh as much as an ordinary pair of shoes, is reported to have said: "When I was flying over the continuous chain of glaciers and snow fields between here and Hazelton, I little dreamed that on reaching Wrangell it would be my privilege to feast on home-grown berries and cream. The luxuriant growth of vegetables and the beautiful flowers here are a great surprise to me." Incidents of the Flight. In its story of this dramatic moment in Alaska's history, the Sentinel notes the following interesting item. In the flight from Hazelton to Wrangell the aviators flew over much virgin country, which, on account of its inaccessibility, had never been beheld by human eye. Much of the time after leaving Saskatoon, the filers had to rely for bearings upon their compasses, thus proving their ability as aerial navigators. The greater part of the flying since leaving New York was done at an altitude of 5,000 feet, but between Hazelton and Wrangell, an altitude of 9,000 to 10,000 feet was reached. The aviators are all young men, the oldest being 27 and the youngest 22. Four of the eight are southerners and all but one have mothers living; two are foreign born. Lieut. Eric H. Nelson being a native, of Sweden and Sergt. Edmond Henriques a native of Australia. The take-off from Wrangell-for the flight up-country was spectacular. Swerving from their course, on invitation from Mayor Robertson of Juneau, the filers circled over the capital city. Lieut. Kirkpatrick dipping low enough to drop a package sent by the New York Times to Gov. Riggs. With stops at Whitehorse, Dawson, Fairbanks, Ruby, the great flight reached its destination. Nome at 5:30 p. m. August 15, having made fifty-five hours actual flying time from New York, 4,300 miles away. "Lady" and "Gentleman" Get License to Wed San Francisco.—Elmer J.

A BELATED GIFT By JENNIE LITTLE. (© 1921, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate) The sun enveloped the great hospital that 26th day of December as it determined to transform its grim walls and quiet corridors, with their suggestions of dread and pain, into chambers of hope, and victory. The youngest doctor on the staff, tensingly dubbed the Infant by his older colleagues, rounded a corner and bumped squarely into a pile of fresh linen, carried by the youngest nurse. "A thousand pardons," he cried jovially. "Christmas has gone to my head, as usual. The top o' the morning after to you, Miss Rutledge. Gee! I love the whole world today, even the cranky old dwager in room 3. "Because why? The only girl said 'Yes,' last night, and in three months more, no lonesome bachelor quarters, but a little 'Home, Sweet Home,' for mine. Gee! Isn't it a grand and glorious feeling? Did you get both your stockings full, as you deserve?" He stopped suddenly, for the little nurse was winking with all her might to keep back the tears. "All we nurses," she said soberly, "agreed to give all we could spare to the Red Cross and Salvation Army instead of buying presents for each other, so my stockings hung all limp and lank, for I have no other friends in the city. I am truly glad for you, Doctor O'Connor," and she hurried away. Later, detailed for special duty in room 5. Nurse Rutledge walked softly to the bedside and laid a pitying hand above the bandaged eyes, for she couldn't seem to harden her heart against suffering, as they told her she should to make a success. "Medicine time," she announced cheerily; then caught her breath as if icy water had struck her, and went all trembling, like a little popular leaf in a storm. "Kit!" cried the patient, half imploringly, half incredulously. "Little Kit! Answer! Answer it if you?" and with his free hand tried to tear the bandage off. "Mr. Rand, don't risk your sight!" she begged in horror. "Oh, why did I --- ever come here? How did you get hurt like this? The one good hand had found hers now and held it a helpless prisoner. "Kit, why did you run away? Every day since I have been searching, but couldn't uncover the ghost of a trail. This morning a little kid was out trying his Christmas sled and shot right in front of a loaded truck. He wasn't hurt but I got a broken arm and leg, and something happened to my eyes. "The only thing I minded was to be delayed in finding von, and after all it led me straight where you write. Wonderful! Now tell me something or I shall raise a riot and bring down everlasting disgrace upon the rules of this hospital. What was the trouble? She gulped hard, for the words tried to stick in her throat unspoken. "Your Cousin Nora told me, that day you went to Chicago, that it was outrageous for my father to saddle you with the care of me, at my age, and everybody knew it was just a scheme to get you for my husband, instead of guardian. And she said that your mother, though she was so good to me, had long ago set her heart on having Nora as her daughter-in-law and I would make her very unhappy if I was the cause of trouble between you. So just because I loved your mother—and you—so much, and because I was ashamed, I ran away." "Oh, woman, woman," groaned the man. "I always knew she had bad sharp claws under that soft fur, but I didn't think she would stoop to catty lies. And you believed them! Have you been happy away from us, foolish little girl?" "Not a single minute," she confessed, "and sometimes I have almost given up and asked you to take me back again. I've washed floors and helped at terrible operations and the only thing that carried me through was the thought of doing it for your good." "Kit," said the man, "in my coat pocket is a ring which I have carried ever since I came from Chicago, thinking to put it on your finger that night. Will you find it for me, please, and let me put it there now? And as soon as I am mended, will you marry me, and take me home? Mother is longing for you. The first week you came there, she told me that nothing could make her happier than to have you for a daughter." "But Nora," said Kit, perplexedly. The patient laughed. "It was only a case of the dog in the manger, dear. Besides, she married rich old Ezra Lakeman a month ago. Are you bringing me the ring? Must I get up a temperature before I am obeyed? And listen. A normal man, being engaged, is entitled to a kiss, but a man who is down, with only one leg, one arm and no eyes, gets two, without being charged with profiteering." When Doctor O'Connor entered the room, the nurse was industriously studying a chart, but in her eyes were a thousand dancing lights, and in her cheeks the tints of the trailing arbutus, while happiness seemed to radiate from the patient, splints, bandages and all. "Feels like the spirit of Christmas, continued," he remarked teatutively. "Right you are," said the patient, "I searched for my Christmas gift for weeks without success, and found her the day after, as soon as I was blind- folded. This is a great old world, isn't it?" And the doctor echoed understandingly, "Right you are!" TO WALK ACROSS COUNTRY Famous Swiss Pedestrian Will Make Exhaustive Study of Men and Conditions in America. Dr. Maxime Leuret, the Swiss globe-trotting walker, recently arrived in this country. Dr. Leuret, a graduate in medicine of the University of Berne, has trod the humble path of the pedestrian through some 31,000 miles in Europe and the two Americas, observes the Boston Transcript. Since he started his walking campaign in 1914 he has worn out over 100 stout and well-made pairs of shoes—102, to be exact. Seeking new worlds to conquer Dr. Leuret now proposes to walk across the continent from New York to San Francisco. Moreover, it is a "pay-as-you-go" affair with the distinguished Swiss pedestrian. Spurring a walking trip with all expenses paid, he is determined to earn the expenses of his transcontinental venture by such occasional and temporary jobs as may happen to turn up. Dr. Leuret will meet and study in their homes and villages all the types that make up the great American family. He will learn by actual contact, and not by reading a geography, the country's topographical features. For Launching Lifeboats Safely. The hurried launching of lifeboats from disabled vessels is usually attended by confusion and danger. An Eastern shipyard worker has devised $p$ new method of lowering the boats that carries them forty feet away from the ship's side, lays them on an even keel, and gives them a forward impulse. The small boat, instead of hanging in davits, rests in a cradle supported by three parallel inclined arms, which are plowed near the water line and guyed by cables attached above. 225 South 10th Street. - Telephones: L-5550 and L-4302 Dunbar Cafe "The Place of Sweets" TRY OUR MIDDAY PLATE DINNER 25c Ice Cream Sodas and All Kinds of Fancy Mixed Drinks We Specialize on luncheonettes JACK GALBREATH L.

FINEST OF EARTH'S CHURCHES Men of Genius Through Many Centuries Aided in the Erection of St. Peter's at Rome. The history of St. Peter's at Rome, one of the world's most interesting edifices, goes back over a thousand years, for it was on this spot, the site of Nero's circus, within walls ornate with gold and glistening with mosaic and marble, that Charlemagne received the crown of imperial Rome from Pope Leo III, and here was slowly erected throughout subsequent centuries this building, called the central cathedral of Christendom. All that man could do to make St. Peter's great and beautiful has been lavished upon that splendid church. Mine, de Stael said of it, "C'est le seul travail de l'art sur notre terre actuelle qui ait le genre de grandeur qui characterise les oeuvres immediates de la creation." (It is the sole work of art on our earth which has the sort of nobleness that characterizes the works of nature.) Marion Crawford puts one's first impression of St. Peter's in a nutshell when he says, "The first sight of St. Peter's affects one as though in every day streets, walking among his fellows, one should meet with a man forty feet high." While the interior decorations have been criticized as being too profuse —an American tourist once referred to them as "too much gingerbread"—that great roof covers the work of some of the most renowned sculptors of the world. Fish's Nest in a Clam Shell. The goby (of which there are many kinds) selects the clean valve of a clam and uses this as the ready-made nest. The pair (for the goby mates with but one and is jealous of any rival) hover round an inverted valve and then the male scoops out the sand from underneath it, forming a cavity, the shell being slightly tilted and pressed into the sand. The female then enters the cavity and deposits her eggs on the lower (inner) surface of the shell. These eggs are somewhat cigar-shaped structures, fixed at one end by a glutinous network that secures them firmly to the shell. Having done her work, the female then exchanges places with the male, who remains on guard, keeping up a constant current of water over the eggs by movements of the pectoral fins, and darting out at the approach of an intruder. Rubber Shoes Life Savers. A fact which is probably only slightly known is the immunity from the attacks of lightning which is afforded by wearing a pair of rubbers. The person who assumes these coverings must be careful not to come in THE MONITOR contact with anything except the floor. Providing he follows this instruction he can not possibly be injured by the lightning in any way. The explanation is simple enough. The electric fluid before it can pass into a human being or animal must first come in contact with the earth. Its passage from the earth to the wearer of the rubbers is, of course, stopped by the soles of the latter. So next time a storm is brewing hurry up and get out your rubbers. Dolls With African Burial. Art galleries in New York last year exhibited specimens of African doll-makers. Perhaps the most interesting story of dolls in Africa is that which concerns the doll custom of a tribe dwelling near Lake Nyassa. When a member of the tribe dies a rough image of the dead person is made of rags or wood and lald away in a tent. Thousands of doll images of dead tribe members lie in the tent, and it is said that the tribe believes that the dolls are the embodiment of the souls of the dead men. By keeping the souls on earth they believe they are cheating the fiends which are supposed to lurk beyond life. The tent is regarded as sacred and only the medicine men are permitted near it. Shoe-Throwing Old Custom. Throwing old shoes was not always confined to weddings, though the custom nowadays has come to be associated entirely with the going away of bridal couples. Authorities differ as to the origin of the practice and its exact significance; it seems, however, as if it had to do with the transfer of property—women being regarded as such among the nations in which the custom began. It was in the sense of confirming a sale or exchange that the Jews understood the removal and giving of a shoe or sandal: When the kinsman of Boaz consented to waive his claim upon the parcel of land which Naomi would sell, he "drew off his shoe," for "this is the custom of Israel." NEED FOR BALANCE WHEEL Courage Is, of Course, a Magnificent Thing, But Should Be Regulated by Prudence. Courage is an indispensable quality in our success; but if it is not balanced and regulated by prudence it will run away with us and lead us into all sorts of foolhardy things. Boldness is a great quality when it is held in check by proper cautiousness and guided by good judgment. I know a man whose courage is very much over-developed and his faculty of caution is very deficient. He does not know what fear means, and he HE m.

If his prudence had been equally developed with his courage, with his boldness, he would have made a very strong man. Futile endeavors, half-hearted efforts never accomplish anything. It takes the fire of determination, energy, push, and good judgment to accomplish that which counts. It is the well-balanced enthusiastic man with fire in his blood, and ginger in his brain, who makes things move and achieves the seemingly impossible.—Denver/Catholic Register. SPIRIT OF SPARTANS IS TRACED TO DRUIDS Frenchman Says Bravery of Gaul Tribes Was Instilled by Priests. Druld priests who in the olden days carried out mystic rites by slaughtering their devotees and burning them on altars erected in the heart of some primeval forest have been misunderstood. Instead of controlling merely the religious life of their followers they were responsible for the fighting qualities of the early tribes of Gaul and later spread their influence to Greece, where Druld training developed the martial spirit of the Spartan soldiers. This is the conclusion reached by M. Solomon Reinach, who in an exhaustive communication presented to the French Academy of Inscriptions gives the result of several years' delving into the folk-love of Greece and the country that today is France. It was only recently that M. Reinach discovered a manuscript written by a Greek historian born in Sparta, revealing that the Spartans had modeled their military training on the system in vogue among the tribes of Iberia, located somewhere between Egypt and the Indies, and which had been visited by an imaginary tourist known as Lycurgus. The latter's description of the country convinces M. Reinach that the explorer must have landed on the southern coast of France, and that the Iberia of which he wrote was not the Spanish Iberia which later adventurers described as a land lacking martial feelings but filled with drinkers and highway robbers. According to M. Reinach's ancient informer, Lycurgus visited the Drulid priests in their mountain caves and forest haunts and found them busy training the natives of Gaul to pre- AR onroe BOSTON GUARDIAN ion of Equal RY 17th TIST CHU The man who successful attent presentation of a Nation."

Lycurgus apparently received some good tips from the forest priests of his Iberian Gaul, for it was some years after his return to Greece that the valor of the Spartan youths first began to make its appearance. How Lightning Kills. Nurseries of cases of death by lightning have failed to reveal any direct effect of the passage of an electric current through the human body. The evidence indicates that death was caused entirely by shock. The result is psychological rather than physical, the shock inducing heart failure or other organic disturbances. Sometimes strokes have been fatal to a mother although the child in her arms was unharmed. Persons under the influence of a drug or intoxicated seem to escape. This seems to indicate that the psychological element is an important consideration.—Popular Science Monthly. Cavalrymen's Splendid Ride. Col. Ezra B. Fuller, the author of a riding "anthology," has himself a notable achievement of endurance and horsemanship to his credit. During the Nez Perces campaign of 1877 Fuller, then second lieutenant of the Seventh cavalry, stationed on the north bank of the Yellowstone river, near Miles City, was ordered by General Miles to take five troopers with him and carry dispatches to General Sherman at Fort Ellis, Mont. Much of the trip had to be made running alongside of the horses, owing to the mountainous character of the country traversed and the almost impassable condition of the trails. The total distance covered was over 350 miles, which was made in four days and nineteen hours, without changing mounts. The Domestic Optimist at Work. "My husband has never spoken a cross word to me." "Daughter is always at the head of her class, and she doesn't have to study a bit hard. She really seems to have more time to play than any of the other girls." "I'm so glad you came, I assure you. One extra for dinner doesn't matter." "So glad you called! I didn't care to go to the matinee, anyway." "My husband could get a much larger salary by going with another house—in fact they are begging him to do it—but his present employers have treated him so nicely that he just won't leave them." "Never mind breaking the vase—it was not one that I cared especially for."—From Life. Mary Miss Eva B.

MINIATURE STORMS IN CITY Movements of Air Currents, Developed by High Buildings, Make Study That is Interesting. You may learn many interesting things about air currents and the way storms develop by watching the movement of pieces of paper, or perhaps your hat, as it is whirled about the street. A variety of miniature windstorms are developed by the high buildings of our cities or the forms of streets, which will repay careful study. On a hot day even, when the air is perfectly quiet, the atmosphere, as it becomes heated tends to rise against the sides of rocks or buildings, and if it travels far enough will develop in a strong wind, which descends on the opposite side and plays queer pranks.

JURORS AND TRIAL LAWYERS Men Who Render the Verdict Said to Have a Distinct Influence Over the Counsel. Juries differ widely. Charles Russell used to say, for instance, that there was all the difference in the world between English and Irish juries, remarks the Manchester (Eng.) Guardian. Irish juries enjoyed the fun and the drama of a trial; they entered into it all and appreciated the cut and thrust; whereas English juries were concerned more with wondering how soon they would be released. But there is a characteristic common to all juries. They have quite as much influence, though in a different way, over counsel as counsel have over them. One of the greatest of advocates, Scarlett, Lord Abinger, declared that his success was due chiefly to the rule he made of selecting one particular juryman, not necessarily the foreman, and addressing the argument as if to him personally. He would then work away till he felt that he had convinced this man and could rely on him when the verdict was being considered. African Seeds. Sixteen hundred of seeds and plants of African fruits, vegetables, grains and flowers not common to this country have been sent to the United States Department of Agriculture for a test as to their adaptability to American soil as a result of a trip made by Dr. H. L. Shantz, as agricultural explorer. Dr. Shantz accompanied the Smithsonian-African expedition which made a tour of interior Africa from Cape Town to Calro, penetrating the Orange Free State, the Transvaal, the Kongo, East Africa, the Sudan and Egypt, with side trips to other parts of the continent and adjacent islands. Among the many new crops, one that is viewed with interest is a gourd two feet long, which contains two gallons of succulent seed about the size of an almond. The meat of these seeds resembles that of the butternut in taste, and, in addition to their possibilities as a nut substitute, they are rich in oil. Many new kaffir corn and sorghums, as well as grasses, suitable for the semiarid West, as well as the pine lands of the South, some excellent new mangoes, a number of oil plants, some dry-land rice, and a large number of grains and grasses are among the specimens. The department has found that several crops --- THE MONITOR GOODELL & CO. Coal and Feed 2520 Lake St. Web. 3007 J. H.

The American-Egyptian cotton and Sudan grass are among the noteworthy acquisitions as a result of previous expeditions. It is said there are eels no one can land. Some years ago a giant conger was caught in shallow water off the shores of England. It measured 8 feet 8 inches in length and weighed 149 pounds. Congers half that size have been known to bite a man's hand in two and to have driven their teeth through the blade of an oar. In 1913 Kakanamsku, the champion swimmer of Honolulu, was attacked by a giant eel, which dragged him under water, and held him there for nearly two minutes. He escaped at last, but at the cost of a finger from his right hand. Eels attain an immense size in the rivers of New Zealand and have been known to attack bathers. In fact, many cases of drowning have been proven to be where eels have dragged the bathers beneath the surface of the water. In the matter of the estate of Ida Saunders, deceased.
