WIDE-SPREAD PUBLIC Georgians Themselves And Not Steps To Purge State of A ishment From a Righteous Declars Governor. Publicit Co-operation Among Sugge ATLANTA, Ga., May 12. - Under the title "The Negro in Georgia," Gov Hugh M. Dorsey has issued in booklet form evidence of 135 instances of "Negroes lynched, Negroes held in poonage, Negroes driven out by organized lawlessness and Negroes subjected to individual acts or cruelty" in various counties of the State within the past two years. "In some counties," said the Governor, "the Negro is being driven out as though he were a wild beast; in others he is being held a slave; in others no Negroes remain. No effort has been made to collect the cases cited. If such an effort were made, I believe the number could be multiplied. In only two of the 133 cases cited is the 'usual crime' against white women involved." The Governor then added: "If conditions indicated by these charges should continue, both God and man would justly condemn Georgia more secretly than God and man have condemned Belgium and Leopold for the Congo atrocities. But worse than that condemnation would be the continued toleration of such cruelties in Georgia." Lynchings, of which there have been 408 in Georgia since 1885 (a larger number than in any other State) form the smallest group of the charges of instances of peonage, among whom was listed the Williams case recently brought to a climax. Still more stress is laid upon the driving away of Negroes, instances of which embrace a number wherein the prosperity and industry of the victims seem to have been the occasion of offense. In the evidence offered appeared charges against the Ku Kux Klan, as well as "White Caps" and "Night Riders." One charge against the Klan was discredited by a Sheriff, who was himself a member of it, however. A call for the purging of Georgia by herself closes Gov. Dorssey's statement that was first made public at last Friday's meeting of the Inter-racial Committee. Of the remedies that should be sought, the Governor said. "I place the charges before you as they came to me, unsolicited. I have withheld the names of counties and individuals because I do not desire to give harmful publicity to these counties. I am convinced that even in these counties where the outrages are said to have occurred the better element regrets them, and I believe fur thermore that the better element in these counties and in the whole State, which constitutes the majority of our people, will condemn such conditions and take the steps necessary to correct them. "The investigation and the suggestion of a remedy should come from Georgians and not from outsiders. For these reasons, I call your attention to the following suggested remedies: 1. Publicity, namely, the careful gathering and investigation by Georgians and not by outsiders of facts as to the treatment of the Negro throughout the State and the publication of these facts to the people of Georgia. "2. An organized campaign by the churches to place in every section of Georgia a sufficient number of Sunday Schools and churches where in their separate places of worship the young and old of bo th the races will learn from suitable teachers the gospel of justice, mercy and mutual forbearance for all. "3. Compulsory education for both races. "4. The organization of State committees on race relations one committee composed of leading white citizens, another of leaders among the Negroes, and local committee made SLOGAN: THE MONITOR up in the same manner in each county of the State, the committees to confer together when necessary concerning matters vital to the welfare of both races." Recommending the reopen of statutes under which peonage has been made possible, the Governor suggested the following laws to stamp out the peonage evil: "(a) Establishing a State constitution under proper safeguards and authorizing the Governor, upon his own motion, to send members of such force into any county of the State to quell disorder or to protect the life and property of any citizen. "(b) Imposing a financial penalty upon any county in which a lynching may occur. "(c) Authorizing the Governor of the State to appoint at any time any three Judges of the Superior Court to act as a commission to investigate any lynching occurring in any county of the State and empowering the Governor to remove from office any public official found by such commission to have failed to enforce or uphold the law. "(d) Giving the Governor the discretion and power in any case of mob violence or lynching to authorize and direct any judge of the Superior Court to draw grand and petit juries from the State at large for the consideration and trial of such cases, and authorize the Governor to designate the place at which the trial or trials shall be held." APPROPRIATES TO NEGRO (Special to the Monitor.) Institute, West Va., May 12.—The Legislature of the State of West Virginia has just appropriated $455,282.40 to the West Virginian Colegate Institute for the next biennial period beginning July 1, 1921. The appropriation covers salaries of teachers, current expenses, repairs and improvements and a new administration building. President John W. Davis has the backing of the State Boards of Education and Control in making Colegate Institute an A class Land Grant College. Dr. C. G. Woodson, Dean of the College is in charge of the reorganization of the college work. Already some of the best prepared men in the country have been called to positions as teachers at Institute. The Negro people of the state are a unit in their support of the Institute program. There was little disposition on the part of any member of the Legislature to cut the Institute recommendations. Many of the two leaders championed them. The two Negro members of the Lower House viz: Harry S. Capechart, of Keystone, W. Va.; and T. G. Nutter of Charleston, W. Va., placed all of their influence behind the Negroes of the State and were to a great degree responsible for the success. The efforts of other Negroes in the State in behalf of legislation affecting Negroes as well as the whites show the progressive spirit of the West Virginia Negroes.

Hayes, the celebrated Negro tenor, has had fine recognition during his visit to London where he has been giving a series of recitals in the best concert halls. His accompanist, Mr. Brown, has been equally praised for his fine playing. Last November he was selected from among a group of American artists in London to sing the "Star Spangled Banner" at the Thanksgiving Celebration by Americans in London. Mr. Hayes left New York for Europe last year. The remarkable success he has enjoyed since coming to England culminated in an invitation from King George to sing before the Royal family at Buckingham Palace. Mr. Hayes sang some beautiful numbers, among them some Negro Spirituals to the delight of the Royal family. The King took occasion to compliment him on the excellence of his voice, its rabge and firmness and the skill displayed in the rendition of his songs. The King observed how different the Negro Spirituals were from what the English people have been taught to believe were the characteristic Negro melodies. Mr. Hayes was presented with a diamond pin by King George. FRANCE SENDS BLACK TROOPS INTO GERMANY (By The Associated Negro Press.) MAYENCE, France, May 12.—One division of cavalry, under commands of General Simon, in fifteen trains left this evening for the Ruhr. They arrived in Duesseldorf on last Thursday morning.

C., May 12.—The winning of the only two events entered by representatives of Negro colleges at the recent Penn Relay Games on Franklin field Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, April 29th and 30th, on part of the track teams from Howard University and Lincoln University, reflects great credit not only upon the schools themselves but also direct attention to the fine type of athlete produced at these schools, in spite of the inadequate facilities in many instances for proper training. The Howard University track team composed of H. K. Perry, Robert Craft, R. E. Contee and Leo G. Robinson, won the OneMile Relay over such schools as Rensselaer Polytechnic, Carnegie School of Technology, Hobart College, Tufts College, Bowdow College and a number of other colleges. The Lincoln University track team won a OneMile Relay over George Washington University, Gallaudet College, and a number of other white colleges in her class. Each of these track teams from these two Negro colleges brought back to their schools a banner showing the names of the various institutions who were entered in the race which they won. Each member of the two teams was awarded a gold watch, also bearing the names of the institutions entered in the event. NEGROES FORM "K. K K." TO (By The Associated Negro Press.) May 12. "Fighting Fire With Fire" certain groups of Negroes in various sections of the South have formed an underground drastic organization that is throwing actual terror into the hearts of the members of the nefarious Ku Klux Klan. The name of this mysterious but certainly effective organization is the Knights of the Kerosine Kan. The word has gone out, and has reached the places where words count most, that for every Negro terrorized or unjustly put to death, there shall be a demonstration in fire works in the community therabouts. So mysteriously are the workings of this invisible that neither heads nor tall of it can be body that neither heads nor tall of it can be located, and yet it is known that where certain perpetrations of terror have been carried on, there has smultaneously occurred mysterious fires that have lighted up the country for miles around. In one southern city, well-known throughout the nation, where the Klux sought to terrorize the community because of the more alleged attack of a Negro upon a white woman, and the Klux called for "all red-blooded Americans" to meet at a certain point at a certain hour to wipe out the Negroes, there was one of the biggest fires in the business district that was ever seen there. The fire occurred at the "appointed hour" and detracted attention from the proposed event. Conservative white people of the South know of this turn of affairs, and that accounts for one of the reasons why they are so boldly denouncing the Klux. HAITI ASKS YANKEE FORCES WITHDRAW Delegation Presents Strong Memorial to President Setting Forth Many Charges of Torture and Atrocities Committed Against Natives by American Forces of Occupation. Residential of "Military Autocracy" In a memorial presented to President Harding, and made public Saturday, a delegation of three Haitians reviewed the five years of occupation by the American Naval forces, declaring it to be "The most, terrible regime of Military Autocracy" ever carried on in the name of the great American Democracy. The naval intervention is characterized as a "joke" and Rear Admiral Knapp is accused of having done "nothing at all" when he visited Haiti under orders from Secretary Daniels to make an inquiry. "The Haitian people feel," says the memorial, "that if the naval court of inquiry has not fulfilled in Haiti the broad mandate conferred on it by Mr. Josephus Daniels, it is because it was faced with charges of such a horrible nature it thought best to pass them over." Charge "Water Cure." Among acts charged against the American occupation are: Administration of the "water cure" and other tortures by American officers and marines and the commission of "numberless abominable crimes," of which twenty-five cases are given. Removal of $500,000 of Haitian government funds which American marines "took on board the gunboat Machias," and which were deposited in New York to "force the Haitian government to accept control of the customs houses by depriving it of financial resources." Entrance by Brigadier General S. D. Butler on June 19, 1917, revolver in hand, followed by American officers, armed, "into the Haitian assembly." Enforced ratifications on June 12, 1918, of a new Haitian constitution, with marines presiding at the ballot box, only ballots bearing the word "Yes" being issued. Exclusion from board of equity of "all Haitians who had anything to say regarding the numerous cases of murder, brutality, arson, etc." Furthermore; it is charged that more than 4,000 prisoners died in 1918, 1919 and 1920 in the prisons at Cape Haitian, and that at Chabert, an American camp, 5,475 prisoners died. The memorial states that during the five years of American occupation, Halti "has passed through such sacro-fices, tortures, destructions, humiliations and misery as have never before been known in its unhappy history." For these "wrongs and injuries" the Haitian people ask reparations, says the memorial, and they also request: Abrogation o the convention of 1915 under which American military occupation began. Convocation of a constituent assembly with all guarantees of electoral liberty. The Haitian delegates represent the Haitian Union of Haiti, described as a non-partisan organization. **PRISCILLA NEEDLE CRAFT** The Priscilla Needle Craft Club met at the Y. W. C. A.

KNOW THE LAW Washington, May 12.—For over a month colored Washington awaited adequate diplomatic recognition of the Plenary Liberian Commission by the Government of America. The long expected happened April 15. At four o'clock two White House automobiles drove up in front of the residence of the Liberian commission at 1317 R street northwest. Robert Wood Bliss. Third Assistant Secretary of State, walked briskly up the steps of the R street home of the commission, where floated the one-starred Liberian emblem. In formal tones Secretary Bliss announced that the President of the Republic of America would receive the President of the Republic of Liberia, at the Executive Mansion. Fifteen minutes later the two automobiles stopped in front of the White House. Secretary Bliss, President King and Associate Justice Johnson of the Liberian Supreme Court came out of the first auto and ascended the White House steps, pausing to wait for Mr. Morris, one of the Commissioners, and Mr. Dennis, the Secretary to the commission. The party entered the Blue Room, where Secretary Bliss presented President King to President Harding, Mr. King King to President Harding. Mr. Harding then presented the respective members of the Commission to President Harding, who in turn presented the Commission to Secretary of State Hughes. Mr. Hughes had met the Commission before, but diplomatic procedure required a second presentation by Mr. Harding as a matter of course. A cordial and informal conference followed, in the course of which Secretary Bliss observed that "All the records had been searched and this was the very first time in the history of America that the ruler of a foreign country was received at the White House."

Harding Returns Visit At five o'clock a third White House automobile drove up in front of President King's residence on R street. President Harding was returning the visit of the Liberian Commission. Accompanied by his military aide, Mr. Harding entered the official residence of the foreign envoys, while White House secret service men waited at the entrance. The President spent some time with the Commission. Mr. Harding took care to make President King realize that "The American Government is always interested in any nation whose ideals are democratic," and said further that he, himself, had always been deeply interested personally in the history and development of the African Republic. He also expressed the hope that the stay of the Commission in America would be most pleasant. President King in thanking Mr. Harding expressed the wish and the hope that the most highly developed trade relationship would soon exist between America and Liberia. Mr. Harding inquired of President King as to the chief exports of Liberia, and both Presidents discussed the coffee production of Liberia at some length. The conference came to an end. President Harding again wished the Commission a pleasant stay in America.

GEORGIA AGAIN "GEORGIA, Again!" Yes, but this time it is a thing of honor and not of shame. The Governor of Georgia and his is being backed by the foremost citizens of the state has thrown fierce white lights of publicity and investigation upon the atrocities which have been practiced upon Negroes in that state. He does not try to apologize for, extinuate or cover upon conditions. He shows the injustices and crimes against a long-suffering people in all their hideousness and rightfully believes that the uncovering of this festering sore will result in its healing. The Monitor does not believe the great mass of the citizens of even Georgia is indifferent to crimes against the black man. They have refused to believe that they were as bad as reported. Despite her short comings and her sins and God knows they are many, America is really Christian at heart and this includes Georgia. All is needed is to turn on the light. COL JAMES H. YOUNG THE death of Col. James H. Young removes from North Carolina one of its most noted and powerful citizens. He was a man of exceptional personality and ability. In all of the state's big occasions, Col. Young was selected to do a responsible part. He was a prominent member of the church, being financial secretary in the First Baptist church of Raleigh for nearly a quarter of a century. He was also a prominent Fraternity man, being the Endowment secretary of the Masonic Grand Lodge of N. C. for many years. He was a power in politics and a great factor in big movements for social and civic uplift. He was a man of considerable means and was connected with most of the Negro business enterprises of Raleigh. Raleigh, the state and the race will miss Col. Young. WHY NOT FOLLOW THE CLUE? DURING the recent campaign bold accusations were made that the riot of two years ago was framed and that the blot upon our city's honor was deliberately planned and skillfully executed. Now that a heated campaign is over would it not be the wise and courageous thing for some one who knows to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? Why would it not be a good idea to follow the clue adroitly dropped and follow it whithersever or to whomsever it will lead? WHAT WILL MR. HARDING DO? WE are carrying elsewhere in these columns an account of a Memorial on the American occupation in Haiti presented to the President, the State Department and Congress which was made public last Saturday. It revealed in specific details the unbearable conduct of the American marines during their five years of occupation in this little republic. They are assuming as they have a right to do, that inasmuch, as this question was made an issue in the Presidential campaign, the republicans condemning it as un-American, they would now get favorable consideration at the bands of the successful party. To the Monitor this question involves plain and simple justice by a strong to a weak nation. A question of whether a nation because of its weakness shall be left to exist unharmed by a stronger nation. To us the duty of the president is plain and simple. It is an opportunity for the new administration to undo a great wrong and we hope Mr. Harding will not fail to rise to this opportunity. That he will not regard the clamour of Columbia for a $25,000,000.00 balm for the cession of Panama be of greater importance than the heeding of the incessant cries of these natives who are being humiliated murdered and plundered of their rights. We shall watch with keen interest what action Mr. Hard- INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged. Naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside.

Withdraw the troops and once for all time wipe out this stain on the fair name of American Democracy. AN HISTORIC EVENT AN event of unusual and historic interest occurred in Washington quite recently. It was the exchange of official visits between the President of the United States and the President of Liberia. It is rather significant that the first ruler of any foreign country to be officially received at the White House should be the president of that African republic which was founded as a haven of refuge for the free black men of the United States. The fortunes of Liberia and of America are closely interlaced. They are united by a bond of blood which cannot be ignored. Who can tell what signal service the little republic on the west coast of Africa may yet render to the present powerful republic of America from whom Liberia derived her being? History's pages record strange paradoxes. Nations wax and wane. The younger and the weaker frequently render unexpected and needed service to the older and stronger. The exchange of official courtesies between Pres. Harding and King may in the evolution of national and international relationships prove more than an insignificant and transient incident. THE GOLDEN LEAF My days are in the yellow leaf The fruits and flowers of love are gone The worm—the canker and the grief are mine alone. My days are in the yellow leaf, The sweets—the joys of youth are gone The worm—the canker and the grief, Are mine, but Ah! not mine alone. And I have known the bitter pain. Of disappointed hopes. The fears That follow heavy loss. The gain That comes through falling tears. And as I drank the bitter cup Of blasted hopes and fond desires; My yearning soul was lifted up, And purged, as through refining fires. And Oh! what countless joys are mine, The wealth of nature's wondrous store- The boundless universe divine. The joy to view the rising sun, The building trees—the opening flowers The joy—when toil of day is done. The solace of the evening hours. And when the silent night comes down, To bring both rest and sweet relief, I'll wear my sorrows as a crown— And call my days "The Golden Leaf." —Mrs. J. Hammond. ST PAUL'S PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Rev.

Among the visitors present were Mr. Galloway and Dr. Madison both of whom made short addresses commending the meeting. MT. MORIAH BAPTIST CHURCH Attendance at Sunday's services was very large.

Continuous services including sermon will be held every night until next Wednesday night. The public is cordially Invited. The Rev. J. H.

The friends of a certain first-day school were astonished at the text given by a small girl, who in a tone of great earnestness repeated during the closing exercises: "Ye cannot serve God and mamma."—Friends' intelligence. In our last trip among the race enterprises we came north on N. 24th Street as far as Jones and Reed's Undertaking Establishments located at the point where Willis Ave. intersects 24th street on the west side. This week we shall begin our trip from this point, by traveling north on the East side of 24th street near the Standard Laundry building, or just in the intersection of Erskine and 24th streets, where we will see the Sign, Singleton-Singleton, Dentists. Here we will see one of the most elaborately equipped dental parlor in the city. The Singleton们 were until recently located on South 14th street over the Peoples Drug Store. Going up stairs you will see this modern establishment where you first enter their most restful reception room. You will see this room fitted up with fumed oak furniture, with woodwork finished in mahogany and the walls in pearl gray. This room offers a most restful appearance, both by furniture and floor covering. We next enter the business office—a long spacious corridor in which the general business is transacted. This is also equipped with up-to-date furniture finished in the same style. Passing from this room to the left we come to the operating rooms—equipped with the latest mode] dental] chairs, fountain, cuspidors, hot and cold water, telephone with buzz system, gac attachments for crown and bridge work, and the most modern electrical appliances over the entire building. Between these two operating rooms will be found a ladies retiring or rest room, furnished with lounge for retiring when sick, and dessing table. At the end of the business office is seen the sterilizing room equipped with a Halverson Lake Sterilizer with boiling water and dry heat. The light here is reflected from the ceiling. To the right of the business office is the Extraction and X-ray room equipped with the latest model Victor X-ray- the only dental machine which will take body pictures, Heidbirk gas machine for administering nitrous oxide gas for painless extractions. Adjoining this is the laboratory, equipped with gas and electrical appliances, with casting machine. On the other side is the "dark room" for developing X-ray films. Adjoining this store and supply room. The entire building is furnished with the latest up-to-date furniture, finished in fumed oak. The valuation of the property is easily $10,000.00. Just across from the Singletons, and on the corner of Erskine and 24th streets we come to Frank Douglas News and Shine Parlor. Here one has only to name the colored paper or magazine of his choice and Douglas will let you have it. He carries almost all the Colored newspapers and magazines published in the country. If you would care to read these papers immediately, you can do so in this nicely furnished Parlor, and get smokes or soft drinks or candy at the same time. You can also get a shine if your boots need it while you read. In short, Douglas is thoroughly prepared to serve you with anything that THE SMARTER SET SOCIETY Misses Dorothy Williams and Elberta Brown entertained the social meeting for the club Saturday evening April 30th. This was the first social meeting since Lent. The evening was spent in dancing and every one had a delightful time. On May 7 the club held its business meeting at the Y. W. C. A. Orlo South, the famous Colored athlete of Commerce High School walks away with many honors in High School Meet here on last Friday. He was easily the best athlete engaged in the contest, having come out first in the 100-yard and 200-yard dashes. He also came out second in the high jump. By winning the 100-yard dash in this contest, South tied the State record for 100-yard dash- Orlo is the son of Mme. Samantha South of the South and Johnson hair culture establishment, 1416 Blondo street. Recently he won six prizes in his school's athletic contests. He goes to Lincoln this week, where he will enter the State meet to represent his school. He finishes the High School this year. He is well thought of by all his class and school and is the best athlete in the schools here. N W. C. A. The N. W. C. A. held a very interesting meeting at the hall Wednesday, May 4. The meeting was attended by the largest gathering that has been seen in the hall within two years. The large attendance re- THE MONITOR Traveling a few steps farther north on the west side of 24th street we come to the Alamo barbershop and billiard parlor. This is run by Edward Killingsworth and Renuben Price. This establishment is second to none of its kind in Omaha. It may be well termed the "Good Order" barbershop; and pool hall. These progressive young men have operated this business on a high scale ever since it has been opened. The purpose for which this establishment was opened was to provide a fit place for those who like to play pool, but do not care to come in contact with those persons who are prone to gamble on the game. They have never departed from that plan. The place was started four years ago with two barber chairs and three pool tables. Now they have six of each and all keep busy. The value of the business, not including the building is $7,000.00. Traveling north from the Alamo, just one door we come to a tri-colored sign,—Red, White and Blue, hung in a perpendicular form, on which is inscribed "South & Thompson Cafe." If you are hungry and have not much money, just open the door and walk in. They have everything you want to eat prepared just as John South and Hubert Thompson know how, and at the price to suit you. They know the business thoroughly. What they can't cook, you can't eat. In the very near future this establishment will be greatly enlarged to include a candy and general confectionery department. L. O. Gregory the famous candy maker will operate this new addition. He will also operate the fountain. The formal opening of this department will take place May 15, which is next Sunday. You will then be able to get anything you want to eat or drink, and then take a nice package of candy home for the rest of the family. Thompson's establishment is easily worth $3,000.00 in equipment alone. Having treated on all the race enterprises on this street up to Lake street, we shall continue our trip next week by turning down Lake street west beginning at the intersection of this street with 2th street, on which we shall see a number of enterprises which are a great credit to the business genius of our people in Omaha. Therefore the value of personal property alone held by our people in this one block easily values $32,000.00. DONT FORGET the "Great Redeemer" which will be given at the Diamond Theatre 24th and Lake Sta. the evening of May 18th. This will be given for the benefit of the Old Folk's Home and it is earnestly urged that a large audience will be on hand. Two performances will be given, one from 7 to 9, and the other from 9 to 11. Be sure to come and bring your friend. Speaking of Manna GIPSY-JESS By MOLLIE NEATHER. (§ 1921, Western Newspaper Union.) The sewing circle sat in Tillee White's neat living-room busy with scissors and needle. Various articles of cast-off clothing were ripped and repaired for the poor and needy, while tongues flew fast as fingers. "It's always, been my opinion," said Mrs. Rawlins "that birds of a feather flock together" and that's all I've got against this newcomer. If she wanted to get in the town's good graces, and be taken up by respectable people, why did she pick up with a harem-scarem nobody like that Walrus girl? See 'em together most every place I go, and they are at the movies besides—chair by chair." "I know it," answered Mrs. Cummins, "and evenings boys that the school principal can't do a thing with are over there in her house singing songs, and anyway, what's a young strange woman mean by rentin' a house alone? "If you mean Miss Jessie Bonnie, who has moved into the Wolcott house," the minister's mother said gently, "I believe she is here to rest from her musical studies before going abroad to enter upon a concert career. And I understand that she does not live with her folks because she has none. The girl is alone in the world." Members of the sewing circle exchanged meaning glances. It had been noted that the earnest young leader of their parish paid open attention to the new and unwelcome stranger. "He's probably trying to convert her," Mrs. Rawlins had suggested, "but I reckon she's poor material." "They say," sumbitted Tilly White, that the Walrus girl and them boys are calling her Glipsy; that is when they ain't calling her Jess. But I'll admit she's not far far, lookin' a gypsy with her dark eyes and tangled curly hair. And then red beads and dangling things that she wears, did you notice 'em? "I thought," the young pastor's mother said patiently, "that Miss Bonnie was a bright, pretty creature, and it's natural for the young to like pretty things. I thought that it might be a good thing for us to befriend the girl, and—" "She's chosen her friends," Mrs. Cummins sharply remarked. "Did that Walrus girl ever want to come in among us? And could we ever bribe those rolling young men into our entertainment? No, they'd rather be on the streets. It's plain the Glipsy person ain't our kind." The pastor's mother sewed on vaguely troubled. Were they right after all? Well, she knew her fine, honest son, his interest in this gay little stranger was deeper than others could realize. She alone could read that interest in the tone of his dear voice, the shine of his eyes. The success of Paul's life and calling meant much to her. She and the father gone had sacrificed for it through many years. An outer door opened into Tilly White's sitting room and a girl's piquant face showed smilingly. "I did not knock," said the girl, "for I knew you were busily assembled. I could see you through the window. I came—" she paused abashed before the forbidding silence. "Gipsy Jess!" ejaculated Tilly White, unconsciously. Then the girl laughed. "You have learned my nickname, I see," she said; "young town people are great with nicknames. Well, then, I am introduced. But what I called about, was this—" She threw back her dark cloak disclosing its crimson silk lining, the girl's jaunty little turban was crimson, too. "This," she continued, and placed on the table. "It's my old winter coat," she explained, "but almost new. I really did not need another, and bought this, I think, because of it's pretty lining. Don't you," asked Glpsy generally, "love pretty things? They are so cheery. Please give my old cloak to someone who needs it." It was just a week later that the small town was shaken to its depths by a startling announcement. Their beloved and admired young pastor was married. He had gone to the city to have that ceremony performed, and his mother had accompanied him. His bride was Gipsey Jess. It was unbelievable, it was—alarming. And the pastor's mother, when she returned welcomed no sympathy. "When you know my son's wife," she said happily, "you will love her, as all do. You have to get in touch with people if you want to help them," Jessie told me one day, and I guess that's her secret. She has given up a promising musical career for love of my boy." But when the pastor's wife took her humble place before the old piano near the pulpit, there was no smile of greeting on the disapproving faces of the congregation. For the Walrus girl stood in the choir, and back in the seat near the wall stood a row of shuffling boys. But when Gipsy's fingers struck the first chord, the voice of the Walrus girl rang out sweetly and clear, while heartily the young men joined in the chorus. But it was at the last verse, the very last verse, that Gipsy smilingly songt her husband's eyes, for there before her joyously, his people were all singing together. Of Dreadful imagination. The were-wolf belongs to the class that includes the dragon, the unicorn, the basilisk, the cockatrice and other 'abulous monsters, but he was probably the most terrifying of all, for he was believed to have the malice and cunning of a man with the ferocity of a soracious animal. Man's imagination has made some strange animals with which to frighten him, but mature out-stripped him with the ichthyosaurus the megalosaurus and the pterodactyl which she grew tired of and threw out before man made his appearance in the scheme of life on this globe.

Courteous treatment. Solidified Oil Economic Fuel. French chemists have announced that they are meeting with signal success in the effort to save and conserve the fuel supply by a process which solidifies the oil and makes it in this shape much easier to handle and economical to burn as fuel. At no distant date, it is promised, it will be possible to use the new product as substitute for heavy fuel oils in furnaces, lecomotives, and for other industrial purposes where coal conservation is a big issue. Not only will the product not be affected by changes of temperature, but it will also withstand combustion unless in direct contact with flames, while it is easily extinguishable by water. Preliminary samples already produced have proved too costly. Looking Ahead. Here is a new Northcliffe story from "The Mirrors of Downing Street." The eminent editor had a caller who raised his hat and made a profound how to the elevator boy as the two men, Northcliffe and his friend, went up to the editor's rooms. When they came down the friend again raised his hat and bowed low to the boy, Northcliffe remonstrated with him. "You shouldn't joke with these boys," he said. "It makes discipline difficult." "Joke!" exclaimed the caller. "Good heavens, I wasn't joking. How do I know that tomorrow that boy will not be the editor of the Daily Mail?" As It Was Pronounced "You have made a big mistake," said the boss. "I never saw that word in my life. It may mean 'ossified', but even that word doesn't apply." "But that is what you dictated," replied the stenographer, spelling and pronouncing from her notes. "Ah, yes." returned the man. "I understand now. I said 'bona fide', but I didn't expect you to spell it 'bonified.'"—Houston Post. New Orleans Anniversary In 1923 the two hundredth anniversary of the formal elevation of New Orleans to a capital city, with the historic Place d'Armes as its civic center, will be celebrated, and by that time it is hoped not only to have Jackson square and its surroundings duplicate its ancient arrangement but also to duplicate the ceremony which marked the occasion as memorable as any in American civic history. Fox Aids Farmer Besides such poultry as they capture, foxes are very fond of field mice and destroy thousands of them; in this way they are a positive benefit to the agriculturist, says the American Forestry Magazine. They also catch and ent many woodchucks—the latter standing in the utmost fear of them. Merry England. In the old designation, Merry England, the word merry does not mean that the people of the kingdom were specially noted for their merry-makings, but that the country was pleasant, agreeable, a beautiful land of pleury. The word merry is used in his sense when we say "the merry month of May," meaning that May is a pleasant month. In this sense he poet Edmund Spencer spoke of Merry London," and the earlier poet,亨克尔 wrote a city "that stood full merry upon a haven side," that is it was a fine, pleasant city, built beside a haven, or harbor. 50c A JAR 8 CENTS POSTAGE Our May Sales Now Bargains in Every The Burden UNDER NEVER We carry a full line of and a full There's Teach your D KOSTORY 2114-16 N. 24th St. E.

Among the things that "have their day and cease to be," artistic extravagances hold a prominent place. The wild vagaries of impressionists, cubists and futurists one by one eclipse what has gone before. "Tactillism" is the name of a new "art" invented by Signor Marinetti, the Italian futurist, who, recently, to a large audience of painters, art critics and society people in Paris, explained its principles. It is a method of conveying impressions through the sense of touch, "which has hitherto been neglected by the arts." Marinetti told how he had tried to establish a series of conventions, which could be easily learned, by which different touches would bring forth definite ideas. For instance, something rough, spiky and hot to the touch would give the idea of the Sahara. The seas would be conjured up by something smooth and cold, like silver paper, and Paris by a mixture of silk and velvet. It is an evidence of the readiness of the day to take up anything new that this adventurous futurist pioneer is now the lion of the season. He intends to be in Paris for some weeks, but has already received so many invitations to attend fashionable receptions and evening parties that he confesses that he hardly knows how to cram in all his appointments. DESIGNED TO UPHOLD WEIGHT Elephant's Foot Is Enormous, Even When Compared With the Size of the Beast. That twice around an elephant's foot equals its height seems almost incredible, yet such is the fact, and a little reflection will show you that it is not so wonderful as it appears to be. Things are large or small, comparatively, and if we could see the foot of an elephant by itself, it would present a far different appearance as to size from what it gives when overshadowed by the mountain of flesh it supports. The elephants in the Indian commissariat being dieted according to height require to be measured annually to determine the amount of food to which they are entitled. At present this is done by means of the ordinary standard with crossbar on top, but formerly it was done by placing a rope around the animal's forefoot close to the ground, and multiplying the length so obtained by two. This measurement generally gives a quarter of an inch or so more, but never less than the exact height. Uae of Peat as Fuel Few have realized that peat might repine coat and break to a large extent the dependence of some of the northern states upon distant coal mines. For several months a Minneapolis company has been engaged in the preparation of peat for fuel, said to be the only enterprise of its kind in the country. A machine has been perfected that digs, macerates and spreads out to dry 700 tons of wet peat in a day, or a quantity sufficient to produce 100 tons of dry fuel. That's how much peat contracts in the drying process. One man operates the machine. During the summer the machine was operated on a bog near Minneapolis, and peat, processed at the University of Minnesota, was burned with satisfactory results in a Minneapolis office building. A crusher plant, with a capacity of 500 tons of peat a day, has been built in Minneapolis during the winter to produce powdered peat, and in the spring ten peat digging machines are to be started on the Minnesota bogs. Delivering the Goods Edonard Bellin, the inventor of photography by wire, said at a dinner in New York: "Of course, the transmission of photographs by wire was thought out before my time. But my predecessors, though their theory was all right, could not put it into practice. So nothing much came of their work, for an inventor's backers insist on the prompt delivery of the goods. "An inventor can't treat his backers as Whistler, the painter, treated his sitters. One of Whistler's sitters, you know, was in a hurry to have her portrait. Finally she said: "Now, Mr. Whistler, you've been at work on this portrait of mine a very long time. When will it be finished and delivered?" "Perhaps never, ma'm,' said Whistler calmly." Boys Study Reforestation. Reforestation clubs for boys are being formed in the public schools of Louisiana. Seeds and trees are supplied by the state department of conservation and prizes are offered for the best results. The work is timely in view of the assertion, made recently by the forest service, that timber is cut and burned in the United States four times as fast as it is growing. Not Wasted "Then all of love's labor is lost?" "Oh, no. I can't say that. You see, she's a film star now; and by the great eyebrows of Venus! you just ought to see her make love!" A Dream.

WHY SOME DYES ARE "FAST" Vegetable and Animal Compounds Superior to Any Products of the Chemist's Laboratory. Some dyes are "fast;" others fade either when the goods are washed or when they are exposed to the sunlight. The fastness or otherwise of a color depends upon the arrangement of the atoms that make up their molecules. If these be closely interwoven, neither light nor water can separate them; but if they are loosely joined together light and water make them disintegrate. Most of our modern dyes are derived from coal tar and consist of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and other elements. The vegetable dyes usually contain no other elements but carbon, hydrogen and oxygen. That is why, being so simple, such colors as logwood and natural indigo are the fastest of all. The few animal dyes—cochineal, for example—are fast for the same reason. But the so-called anilin dyes are the product of the chemist's laboratory and are complex and loosely bound combinations of the atoms of many elements. There are acid dyes and alkaline dyes, and before applying them to any stuff one must know whether the cells of this are acid or alkaline in reaction. For opposites attract, likes repel. Therefore we must use acid dyes for alkaline materials and alkaline dyes for acid materials. DECISION CUT LEGAL TANGLE Point Involved in English Lawsuit Seems Hardly Worth the Time and Money Expended. On the last day of the last month in the year 1809 a very curious legal battle was fought between the English crown and a gentleman, lord of the manor of Holderness; it was a struggle for a cask of wine thrown up the seashore on the coast of that particular manor. The lord's balliffs and the customs officers both raced to the spot and the contending parties each laid hold of the cask. Then the officers decided to go back to the custom house for further instructions, and during their absence the balliffs removed the cask to the cellar of the manor house. At the trial the arguments on both sides were very learned and exceedingly lengthy. The decision of the court was in favor of the lord on the grounds that no permit is required to remove spirits unless it has paid duty; that wine to be liable to duty must be imported; that wine cannot be imported by itself, but requires the agency of someone else to do it; that, therefore, wine wrecked, having come on shore by itself or without human volition or intention, was not imported, and was not subject to duty, and did not require a permit for its removal—Chicago Journal. The Lake Poets The Lake Poets, the Lake School, the Lakers, were names given by British critics about the beginning of the past century, to a certain brotherhood of poets who "hunted" some cars about the lakes of Cumberland, England," and who were erroneously hunted to have united upon some settled theory or principles of composition and style. Wordsworth, Southey and Coleridge were regarded as the chief representatives of this so-called school, but Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson were also included under the same resignation. The Newly Married.
