C., July 28.—The recent riot in Tulsa, Okla., the reported activities of the Ku Klux Klan, and the disclosures concerning Negro peonage give timeliness to the creation of a new Commission on Negro Churches and Race Relations by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. The purpose of this action is to consolidate the influence of the churches in bringing about better relations between the races. The first meeting of the new Commission was held in Washington, D. C., on Wednesday, July 13th, under the chairmanship of John J. Eagan of Atlanta, who is president of the Atlanta Council of Churches. A vice-chairman is to be named from the Negro churches. The commission is made up of about one hundred representatives of the white and colored churches, the majority being residents of the South. Outlining the Program The following statement was adopted as expressing the general program of work for the Commission: (1) To assert the sufficiency of the Christian solution of race relations in America and the duty of the churches and all their organizations to give the most careful attention to this question. (2) To provide a central clearing house and meeting place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with t the relation of the white ARMY OFFICER IS ACQUITTED Man Who Shot Colored Hoster for Imperitinence Freed by Court Martial. (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 29. The trial of the army officer, James E. Shelley, for the shooting of Richard Christmas, a colored hostler employed in the government quartermaster stables, in this city, ended in an acquittal by the general court-martial which was ordered to try the case. The trial lasted only three days, beginning on Monday, July 18, and ending Wednesday, July 20. At the end of the last session of the trial the court-martial adjourned and in less than thirty minutes ten verdict freeing Shelley was rendered, which decision was said to be the speediest reached by a military tribunal in the history of the District of Columbia. Much interest has been exhibited in the trial of this case because of its being brought before a military tribunal instead or a civil tribunal. INCREASE IN TOBÁCCO SALES (By the Associated Negro Press) Clarksville, Tenn., July 28—With sales at 92,500 pounds, consisting of a much better quality of tobacco than has been offered for several weeks, the current week's average on the loose floors was $15.29, or nearly double the average of last week, which was $8.17. Season's sales this week were brought up to 11,351,135 pounds, with an average of $13.69. LIBERIA IS TO BE GRA The United States Has Decided to by Officials of the Black Recessions Falling Into British Washington, July 15.—The American government is preparing to loan Liberia $5,000,000 to prevent valuable concessions from falling into the hand of the British and French, according to Secretary Mellin in his testimony today before the Senate Finance Committee. The legislation necessary to obtain the consent of Congress for the advancement of this sum has already been formulated. A bill is in the hands of Senator Penrose, but he will not formally offer it until he has consulted the State Department thru which negotiations for the loan have been conducted. Mr. Mellon denied that an agreement had been reached to defer pay- SLOGAN: THE MONITOR and Negro races, and to encourage and support their activities along this line. (3) to promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between the white and Negro churches, especially by State and local conferences be tween white and Negro ministers, Christian educators, and other leaders for the consideration of their local problems. (4) To array the sentiment of the Christian churches against mob violence and to enlist their thoroughgoing support in a special program of education on the subject for a period of at least five years. (5) To secure and distribute accurate knowledge of the facts regarding racial relations and racial attitudes in general and regarding particular situations that may be under discussion from time to time. (6) To develop a public conscience which will insure to the Negro equitable provision for education, helath, housing, recreation and all other aspects of community welfare. (7) To make more widely known in the churches the work and principles of the Commission on Inter-Racial Co-operation, and especially to support its efforts to establish local Inter-racial committees. (8) To secure the presentation of the problem of race relations and of the Christian solution by white and Negro speakers at as many church gathering as possible throughout the country. GREAT BRITAIN FREEING FROM WAR BURDENS (By the Associated Negro Press) London, July 28.—The House of Commons has passed a bill for repeal of the agricultural bonus which the British government has been paying farmers in the form of a guaranteed minimum price. In asking for the repeal of the bonus, the spokesman for the Ministry stated it was costing the government between $100,000,000 and $150,000,000 a year which it was impossible for the government to continue, in view of the current financial conditions. It was announced by the spokesman for the ministry, in the course of the debate, that the British Government has decided that it must, as a matter of self-preservation, get rid of every vestige of government control and subsidies which were put into effect during the war.

On one side, largely in the ranks of the bureaucrats, there is fear that the proposed conference will be dominated by the Anglo-Saxon and may result in strangling Japan's political and economic development in Asia.

He said reports in London and New York to this effect were "wholly unfounded and absolutely inconceivable." He added that the Treasury Department is not entertaining such a proposition. It is probable that Secretary Hughes will be called before the Finance Committee in connection with the refunding of the foreign indebtedness. Mr. Hughes advised the Judiciary Committee several weeks ago, when an investigation of the foreign loan situation was being made, that many features of the correspondence with other nations should not be published without the consent of these governments.

C., July 28.—Plans for relieving the estimated shortage of 1,500,000 homes throughout the country thru the diversion of a greater portion of the nation's $22,000,000,000 in savings deposits into home building are under consideration by Secretary Hoover. The Secretary of Commerce considers that there has been a tendency during the past few years for the savings of the people to find their way into commercial paper, bonds and similar securities rather than into home building while a critical housing situation has developed, with about 117 families for each 100 homes. The chief reliance of the country in the necessary financing of home building, in the opinion of Mr. Hoover, must be the savings institutions. With a total of $22,000,000,000 available from these sources, he believes it will be found after eliminating the building and loan associations and actual savings banks, who devote about 50 per cent of their deposits to home building, that the savings departments of national banks, State banks, trust companies and insurance companies, comprising ANNUAL SESSION OF TEXAS FEDERATION OF COL- ORED WOMEN'S CLUBS Cleburne, Texas, July 4.—The Texas Federation of Colored Women's Clubs held its 16th annual session at this place and was in session July 4, 5, 6, 7, 1921. The Federation was entertained by the Social and Art, Social and Athletic Clubs of this city at First Baptist church. The session of the first day was chiefly of executive nature and receiving welcome from the representatives of the city clubs. Greetings from the National Association were presented by Mrs. S. G. Bailey, Galveston. Reports from delegates who attend the National Association which was held in Tuskegee were next in order. For quite 30 minutes we were breathing the atmosphere which surrounds Tuskegee Institute. The reports from all officers were good, the State Organizer reporting 27 new clubs. The annual address by President, Mrs. R. A. Ransom, and music of the evening were excellent Special efforts will be made to set the President's address in the minutes. Mrs. M. E. V. Hunter, H. D. A., Prairie Piew, had charge on 2d day. Canning of Dixie relish, corn on cob, cut corn, peaches, tomatoes fresh, tomato salad, pickles, soup mixture, and beet relish, were prepared and placed on exhibit. Instructions and recipes for the above were given. Mrs. Lockett assisted Mrs. Hunter in demonstrating. A model form was fashioned by one of our young women at the afternoon session. At the evening session Rev. F. R. Barnwell, lecturer of Negroes, T. P. H. A., gave a very instructive lecture, illustrated with stereoptic views which made the lecture all the more impressive and instructive The 3rd day's session was interesting from the beginning until its close. Reports of work done by the various clubs were made, the beautiful artistic handwork about the room served to corroborate the reports. Solos were interspersed so as to break the monotony of the programme. The round table talk, "Club Energy and How to Arouse It," as led by Mrs. P. E. Bledsoe, Prairie View, was very helpful, after which Mrs. C. E. Lindsay of Ft. Worth, who has charge of the Juvenile Department, came forward with the "White Rose Girls" and rendered a program, chiefly music, which was a credit to any people. During the evening session Prof. J. J. Burnett spoke on "What Women's Club Have Done for Calburne." Mrs. P. Shannon, prima dona, gave several beautiful selections. We were then ushered to a beautifully decorated hall for a banquet. The menu was fit for kings, but the members of the State Federation were the happy recipients of these dainties. Our last day's session was somewhat tinged with sorrow yet effective work was accomplished. Reports from new clubs, election and instruction of officers for the year were accomplished on this day. The men sympathizers presented the president with a silver mesh bag, and the secretary with a gold pencil, as a token of appreciation of the excellent work being accomplished under their supervision. At the evening session all were very profitably entertained by Mrs. V. Shannon in song and Mrs. Annie R. Randle of Waco in drama, "The Voice on the Wire." We adjourned to meet at Palestine, Texas, July 3-7, 1922. (Reporter.) The Bach Ben again entertained its members and friends at an informal dancing party given at Hanscon Park Pavilion, Monday night. A delightful evening was spent by all, there being about 120 present. It seems to be the motto of this lively club to keep Omaha on the map in the way of pleasure for visitors especially.

PROMINENT RACE LEADERS ARE RESENTFUL Growing Resentment Not Confined to Southland But Spreading Throughout the North. Intelligent, Organized Resentment on the Part of Race Throughout the Nation Urging New Political Alignments Which Will Lead to Republican Defeat is Being Very Generally Advocated. "Not only in Virginia," they declare, but Negro leaders everywhere are astounded at the treatment that has been, and is being accorded faithful Negro Republicans whose patriotism and party service have so soon been forgotten. Patience has ceased to be a virtue, and intelligent, organized resentment on the part of the Negro voters, North and South, seems the only manly alternative and the only motive power that will tend to bring the Republican ship back to its traditional moorings of justice and fair play to all Americans without regard to race, color or previous condition of servitude. A nation-wide movement in this direction is already in progress, headed by Hon. J. R. Pollard, prominent Negro Attorney of Richmond, Va., and State Chairman of a large Republican faction in Virginia which polled thousands of votes last November, and Hon. H. H. Price, also of Richmond, Va., the recent Negro nominee for Congress in the 3rd Virginia district who polled 2882 votes against the 646 votes cast for John L. Gudbbus, the "lily white" Republican nominee. These two gentlemen are here in Washington to call a national conference of Negro Republican leaders and voters throut the country to discuss the Negro's present political status and to formulate the best plan of combatting the "Lily White" movement which seems destined to envelop and control the entire Republican Party. perior Court in this city, cased a profound sensation when, after declaring that the Negro race in the North was not given as much chance as in the South, he formally revoked the lower court sentence of Roy B.

After delivering a brief but pointed address, he called Scott to the bench, clasped his hand warmly, and urged him to go forth and bravely fight the battle of life. SPECIAL RATES TO BUSINESS LEAGUE By the Associated Negro Press) Atlanta, Ga., July 28.—Announcement was made some weeks ago that special rates had been granted for delegates who may attend the forthcoming meeting of the National Negro Business League which will be held in this city August 17th, 18th and 19th. The rate, as announced, will be one and one-half fare for the round trip, thus affording an unusual opportunity for the delegates and visitors to attend the sessions of the League and to visit the Gate City of the South where Negro business enterprise has assumed a degree of success, both remarkable and inspiring.

ON THE PACIFIC COAST Being Alleged Threats By Members against Officials And Private Indi- some time. Department of Justice Investigating. Alleged Threats By Members of Lawless Organization Against Officials And Private Individuals at Los Angeles. Los Angeles, Cal., July 28.—Starting developments in connection with the recent activities of an organization similar to the Ku Klux Klan of Civil War days, are expected in a number of cities, including Los Angeles, according to advices from Washington July 19th. It is reported that the federal department of justice is making a thorough investigation of recent whippings and cases of tarring and feathering in the south, and also of threats made against officials and private individuals in Los Angeles. Ku Klux Warnings According to these advices, Negroes in Los Angeles complain that they have been threatened by an organization representing itself as the Ku Klux Klan and a quiet investigation is said to have been in progress for some time. Recently City Prosecutor Widney notified the federal authorities here that he had been threatened by persons representing themselves to be agents of the Klan. Tells Threats Widney informed the federal authorities that he was threatened by the men because he stopped the exhibition of "The Clansman," a motion picture dealing with the racial troubles which followed the Civil War. The city prosecutor said he was approached by three men who intimated they were members of a secret organization and who told him he would regret having stopped the showing of the film. He said the men were "unmistakably threatening." Help Put It There" (By the Associated Negro Press) Richmond, Va., July 28—What might be regarded a political tempest has hit the State of Virginia. The Negro element of the Republican party in this neck of the political woods is veritable up in arms. This branch of the organization has been literally thrown flat on its back by the "lily whites" who appear to have the right ear of the national organization. The recent Republican state convention pulled off some stunts that were hard boiled and decidedly rough on the fellow farthest down. Being "cast off" is mild stuff to what happened to the colored brethern. They never reached the place where they could be "cast off." The truth of the matter is they never even peeped into the place where the council was held which decided, for the moment at least, the destinies of the Republican party in the grand old State of Virginia. The front doors of the convention were locked against the colored men. A few got in by some back ways, but they were promptly thrown out the front way. There were no make-shifts employed, as the story runs now going the rounds. In the picturesque language of Joseph R. Pollard, "We were bodily ejected." Hence the colored men of influence throughout the State are very sore about the whole matter and have so declared themselves. MINISTER'S DAUGHTER ASSAULT BY WHITES (By the Associated Negro Press) Meridian, Mississippi, July 28—Later information from Bell Pine, Rankin county, where a criminal assault occurred on a young woman, corrects some of the inaccuracies in the published statements. The young woman was only 16 years of age, and not 30, as given out. Her father is a minister. The young lady had been on a visit the day before to friends a few miles from her home, and was returning to her home alone Saturday morning on a lonely country road. She states that two white men met her and that one held a shotgun on her while the other gagged her, and that both men then assaulted her and left her. Blood-hounds were brought from Crystal Springs and put on the trail, but without success. The affair occurred near the southern boundary of Rankin county and the county sheriffs of Rankin and Simpson immediately summoned posses and went in pursuit. Two young white men, filling the description of the girl, were arrested, but when brought before her she declared they were not the parties. Efforts were made to induce her to declare light skinned Negroes assaulted her. She denied this, however.

It were foolish to attempt to disguise this fact. It is an era of reconstruction, of readiness, therefore one of those critics which always occur whea we move forward into larger life it is the lesson of history that do people, classes or groups jealous their advantages and perogatives are fearful of losing them and will go to any extremes to maintain and defend them. There has always been a struggle at certain recurring periods in the world's history between two views of humanity, one illustrated by the phrase "the divine right of kings," and the other by the phrase "the rights of the common people." Phased differently, it is the struggle between autocracy and democracy. Such times are perilous because of a species of hysteria which affects all classes. This hysteria shows itself in suspicion, hatred and ill-will, more or less general. It engenders an atmosphere which is inimical to sympathetic human brotherhood. In this atmosphere infidelity and doubt, rather than faith and thrive. There is always at such times the serious danger that the class or group lower down and therefore the one upon whom oppression rests most heavily will lose its trust in God, throw off the restraints of religion and give the restraints of revenge full leash. This is the grave danger confronting not only America but the world today. Its symptoms are beginning to manifest themselves among many of our own people. They are questioning the justice and goodness of God in the light of certain events. This is a grave mistake. The people who lose faith in God is doomed to destruction, it matters not how high or how great they may think themselves to be. Never was there need of greater faith and hope than today. We need to look upward to Him from Whom all wisdom, grace, strength and courage flow, and move forward into the larger, fuller life of American citizenship which is before us right here, despite the manifold limitations against which we must struggle and overcome, and to which we are divinely destined to contribute an important share. Never losing faith heart or courage let this be our motto: LOOKING UPWARD, MOVING FORWARD. THE MONITOR again desires to call the attention of the City Commissioners to the need of better lights on North Twenty-fourth street one of the rapidly growing and important business streets in the city. This street is poorly lighted. This is particularly true of the section from Seward to Erskine, generally, and between Parker and Grant, particularly. These blocks are disgraceful dark. But the whole section from Cuming to Lake needs more lights. The Monitor urges the tax payers and residents on North Twenty-fourth street to join with it in its campaign for more and better lights on this important street. Let those who are with us in this campaign get busy. Are you with us? Speak up. Our columns are open. SIGNS OF THE TIMES ALL signs indicate that we are go- ing to have a hard winter because of the large number who have been unable to secure employment during the summer. All who are working should hold on to their jobs and be as saving as possible. Cut your expenses to the lowest figure. Pass up many things you would like to do and have, if times were better and get ready for a hard and severe winter. Jenkin's Barber Shop—All work strictly first-clean, 2122 No. 24th St. Webster 2005.

Is the call of President Harding for a conference looking toward disarmament actuated by any real desire for the limitation of armaments or by the desire to curb Japan's power and influence in the Far East? Certain international questions would seem to indicate that the later, rather than the former is the paramount motive for the conference. If, however, it should issue in reducing armament and so lift a heavy burden from the shoulders of the people as well as minimizing the menace of war it will be a cause of genuine rejoicing. PRESS COMMENT AN IMPORTANT MOVE One of the most important moves ever made with regard to bringing about better relations between the white and the colored people of the United States was recently made by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. In a "recent preliminary meeting held" Washington under the chairmanship of Mr John J. Eagan of Atlanta, Ga., the day was spent in discussing the questions relating to the Negro in this country. As a result of the discussion a statement embracing eight points was drawn up and unanimously adopted as a program of work. The first four points of this statement are as follows: "1. To assert the sufficiency of the Christian solution of race relations in America and the duty of the churches and all their organizations to give the most careful attention to this question. "2. To provide a central clearing house and meeting place for the churches and for all Christian agencies dealing with the relation of the white and negro races, and to encourage and support their activities aling this line. "3. To promote mutual confidence and acquaintance, both nationally and locally, between the white and Negro churches, especially by State and local conferences between white and Negro ministers. Christian educators and other leaders, for the consideration of their common_problems. "4. To array the sentiment of the Christian churches against mob violence and to enlist their thoroughgoing support in a special program of education on the subject for a period of at least five years. The other four points in the program related to the distribution of accurate knowledge regarding the race question, the development of public conscience favorable to the Negro, the making more widely known the program of the Council's commission on inter-racial cooperation, and the presentation of the problem of race relations and the Christian solution of it by white and colored speakers, and as many meetings throughout the country as possible. The Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America is comprised of thirty-one Protestant Biblical denominations. This constitutes a body which, if it determines earnestly to bring about an adjustment of the race question, can accomplish the task. If the leaders of so great a religious body make up their minds for instance, to stamp out lynching and mob violence against the Negro and tackled the job sincerely, they could abolish that form of crime in the United States within six months.—The New York Age.

In the early days of Greece and Rome all the doors of dwellings opened outward. A person passing out of the house knocked on the door before opening it. --- ADDRESS TO COUNTRY BY N.A.A.C.P. CONVENTION The following Resolution is really an address to the Country and is considered the most important act of each Conference. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in its Twelfth Annual Conference, meeting in this great crisis of the world's reconstruction, would remind the nation that from our very first conference we have planted our agitation and action upon a careful and thorough investigation of the truth concerning the Negro problem. Often when we have published in our organ, THE CRISIS, and in letters and articles in the press, our findings and conclusions, we have been accused of exaggeration. Today we stand vindicated before the world in the revelations of Georgia, and knowing that Georgia is little if any worse than half a dozen other states, we solemnly adjure this nation to give more serious attention and more earnest action to this festering social sore. Lynching and mob violence against Negroes still looms as our most indefensible national crime and unless the present administration takes early action by legal enactment it will stand condemned of all thoughtful citizens north and south. Increasingly the Negro at Washington, Chicago, and Tulsa has been forced to give his life in self defense. No man can do less for his family and people and it is a cruel campaign of lying that represents this fight for life as organized aggression. Negroes are not fools. Eleven million poor laborers do not seek war on a hundred million powerful neighbors. But they cannot and will not die without raising a hand when the nation lets its offscourings and bandits insult, harry, loot and kill them. What is the cause of the new conflict of race in America? It is not simply a growing sense of manhood on the part of the blacks, it is increased lack of sympathy and sense of justice on the part of the whites and this arises from the snapping of those human bonds which must exist between neighbors. If the Negro child is not educated; if the Negro is segregated in federal departments and Oklahoma cities; if he is publicly insulted by "Jim Crow" cars; if he is treated unjustly in the courts as in the twelve pending Arkansas peonage cases; if in the army and navy the Negro is grossly and continually discriminated against and faces plans for further discrimination in the national guard; if he has no voice in the administration of the law especially as to labor, agriculture and education; and if finally the nation is being honeycombed by secret societies like the Klu Klux Klan, who stir up race hatred by innuendo and appeal to the lowest brute instincts—if all these things are done, how can we help but kill the human sympathy, the spirit of the Prince of Peace, the strong faith and the desire for humble effective co-operation which alone can save civilization? Men and women of America, the program of those who would save America from bitter racial hatred and conflict and murder is short and simple: 1. The Right to vote under the same conditions as other persons vote. 2. A federal law against lynching and mob violence. 3. Justice for the convicted peons in Arkansas. 4. Equitable treatment for Negro soldiers and sailors. 5. Abolition of the "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic. 6. Free public schools for Negro children. 7. The appointment of an inter-racial commission, of high class, fair-minded men and women representing both races, to make a scientific survey of race relations. 8. The withdrawal of our military forces from Haiti and carefully planned aid for Haiti and Liberia. 9. The weight of our influence to secure justice for the natives of Africa particularly in the former German colonies. 10. A world wide attempt to promote peace through inter-racial understanding and equality, and through a wider recognition of the basic identity of race and labor problems. The TOWNSEND GUN CO.

Phone Ty. 897 Notary Public In Office N. W. WARE ATTORNEY & COUNSELOR at LAW Practice In Both State and Federal Courts Wall Street Once More Puts Her Quietus on Man Who Was Too Ambitious. HIS STORY IS SENSATIONAL Nephew of Colonel Guffey, Who Made and Lost Many Fortunes, Himself Did Some Very Spectacular Things With Oil Stocks. New York.—When the directors resigned the other day and the Tidewater Oil company, a Standard Oil subsidiary, thus got control of the Guffey-Gillespie Oil company, insiders knew Wall street once more had written "fails" to the career of a man who "bit off more than he could chew." The victim was Joe Guffey, more formally Joseph F. Guffey of Pittsburgh, and fully described thus: President of the Guffey-Gillespie Oil company, with leases covering 220,000 acres in the Mid-Continent and Texas fields. President of the Atlantic Gulf Oil corporation, controlled by the Atlantic, Gulf & West Indies Steamship lines and operating around Tampaco. President of the Colombia syndicate, controlled by Guffey-Gillespie and "Agwi" and owning a million acres of oil lands along the Magdalena river in South America. Director of Reliance Life Insurance company, and several Pittsburgh banks. Democratic national committeeman from Pennsylvania, promoter and "angel" of A. Mitchel Palmer's last presidential boom. Former director of sales for the allen property custodian. Uncle Lost Many Fortunes. Back of this announcement lies a story seldom equaled in American business and political biography. It parallels the story of another Guffey of a preceding generation. For Joe Guffey is a nephew of old Col. James M. Guffey, also of Pittsburgh, said to have made and lost more fortunes in oil than any other person in the United States. By 1919, when the partnership was reorganized as the Guffey-Gillespie Oil company, it had become one of the largest in the midcontinent field. In addition, Guffey & Gillespie, with other Pittsburghers, acquired 125,000 acres of oil lands in Colombia, and the Colombia syndicate was formed. Then "Agwf" entered the Mexican field, organized the Atlantic Gulf Oil company, and elected Guffey president. Boosted Stock to $30. Last summer Guffey found the bears out gunning for Guffey-Gillespie stock, although it had earned $9 a share the year before. Guffey began the fight which ended Tuesday in total defeat. Putting in almost every dollar he had and borrowing $2,000,000, he formed a pool to "peg" the stock with New York and Pittsburgh friends. Late in February Guffey's pool tried to rout the bears and boosted the stock from 22 to 30. The effort exhausted his strength, and the bears, buying in New York and selling by wire in Pittsburgh, flooded the latter market. When the price reached 20 the Pittsburgh banks called their loans. The Tidewater Oil company took over the stock held as collateral and bought enough more to give it voting control. Guffey, Gillespie and the old directors attempted to fight for places in the reorganized company. Tidewater asked for their resignations, and called for a receiver. NAVY PERFECTS STAR SHELL Success Marks Its Use as a Substitute for Searchlight to Locate Enemy at Sea. Washington.—Extensive experiments to develop the use of "star shells" as a substitute for searchlights in searching for enemy craft are being conducted by the Navy department with what some officers describe as considerable success. A "flashless" powder is being used in propelling the shells from the guns. The shells light up the sea for a wide area and officers explain that, if they can be projected without a betraying flash from the ship firing them, they will be a far advance over the searchlight, as the beams from the latter betray the exact location of the ship projecting them. It is said that experiments have now reached the point where "star shells" that will illuminate for several minutes a great area of the sea far distant from the firing ship have been perfected, and along with them a powder which shows no flame or flash when the "star shells" are projected from the ship. For guns of three inches or smaller, the new system is said to work almost perfectly, but in the large guns it is understood that all of the flash of discharge has not yet been eliminated. Bring Out Hoarded Gold. London.—The widespread destitution caused by unemployment here is bringing out the gold hoarded by many persons in more prosperous times. There has been a most noticeable increase in the number of sovereigns and half-sovereigns in circulation in the last few weeks. Previously it was only on rare occasions that a sovereign or half-sovereign was tendered. London's First Theater It is a little difficult to realize that in London, the Mecca of the English-speaking theater devotee, there was a time when an order was passed by parliament for the compulsory closing of these "palaces of amusement" and making it a crime to be present as a spectator at a play. This happened in puritan times in 1642, when only two English theaters existed. TOURISTS ARE ANGRY Extortion Practiced in Paris Arouses Americans. French Authorities Tell Them the Remedy Is in Their Own Hands. Paris.—The effect of the high cost of living in Paris upon tourist trade, as indicated by the growing frequency of complaints of extortion by Americans visiting France, is occupying the attention of the government. The authorities hold that the tourists have the cure largely in their own hands, exaggerated prices being due in large part to indiscriminate spending by visitors, aided by the spendthrift tendency of French profiteers. It is admitted that abuses practiced in amusement resorts, where meals, wine and dancing are provided, have their effect upon prices in general, but how to correct that evil without discouraging the most profitable trade is a question. Undersecretary of State Paisant, discussing the question with Americans, proposes publicity as a remedy. He has invited American visitors to join in a protest which will be published in the Paris press, and he also will take up personally individual cases of extortion brought to his attention. The most frequent causes of complaint are charges for lodgings in hotels and apartments. Mr. Paisant told the Americans he had decided to ask hotels to publish their rates in the papers. This remedy would not, however, affect apartments, which are the subject of profiteering on a scale bittter than unknown. There are very few unfurnished apartments to let, according to the real estate agencies; as fast as vacated by tenants, they are transformed into furnished apartments and either let at rentals of from 300 to 1,000 per cent higher than the average before the war for furnished apartments of the same class, or rented at an increase of 200 to 300 per cent above the average for unfurnished apartments, with the proviso that the tenant buy the furniture at excessive figures. THIS MAKES MR. HAYS HAPPY His Policy of Humanizing the Postoffice. Department Results in Saving a Woman's Life. Washington.—Postmaster Will H. Hays probably is the happiest man in Washington today. His slogan "Humanize the Postoffice Department" has been carried out to what appears to be the limit. Here is the story: In a little Nebraska farmhouse a woman lay dying for lack of medical attention. The nearest physician was Dr. Selby at North Platte. True, North Platte was only two miles away, but between the dying woman and the physician was the South Platte river, flooded to a raging torrent that had swept away every bridge near and far. Dr. Selby had telephoned to every town within a radius of twenty miles. At each turn it was the same disheartening story—bridges gone and no way of fording the turbulent waters. Just when all hope seemed gone, Dr. Selby remembered something. Somewhere he had read that the postmaster general was "humanizing" the postoffice department. He rushed to the telephone and asked C. A. Sluder, manager of the air mall field at North Platte, to take him across the river in an airplane. "Sorry," said Sluder, "but I couldn't without getting authority from Washington first." "But the woman is dying," the physician urged. "In that case," replied Sluder, "we will take you first and get the authority afterward." So it was that the life of a woman in an humble "Nobraska farmhouse was saved just because the postoffice department has been humanized. And so it is that Postmaster General Hays is probably the happiest man in Washington. Bantists Elect Woman Leader Des Moines, Ia.—With the election of Mrs. Helen Barrett Montgomery of Rochester, N. Y., as president of the Northern Baptist convention, a precedent was set among the larger denominations of the United States. Coincidentally, the convention was presided over by a woman, Mrs. M. Grant Edmunds of Pasadena, Cal. after E. L. Tustin of Philadelphia, the president, had been stricken with ill-ness. Heavenly Dust Cloud of Vast Bulk Is Found London.—Dr. A. Pannkeck, a Dutch scientist, has been demon-strating the existence of an in-conceivably vast object in the heavens. Its mass, he says, is 20,000,000 times greater than that of the sun. He calls it a celestial gas or dust cloud. Doctor Pannkeck says this huge body is situated in the constellation of Taurus and his estimate of its size is greater than many estimates of the combined mass of the whole universe itself. "Light Blue Hair" The police, no doubt, will have little difficulty in finding a man listed in a recent police bulletin in New York as being wanted on a state charge. "Light blue hair" should make him conspicuous in almost any crowd. Speed of a Projectile speed of a projectile. A projectile, weighing 1,400 pounds, which is fired in 14-inch guns, leaves the gun at a speed of almost half a mile a second. At three miles the speed has but slightly slackened. VIENNA IS AGAIN CITY OF GAYETY People Are Fashionably Dressed and Spend Money Freely in Luxury Shops. GOOD FOOD IS NOW PLENTIFU White Bread and Fancy Dainties Seen Everywhere, but the Finances of the State Are in a Chaotic Condition. Vienna. — Finance and economics seem to have parted company in Austria. With its money situation chaotic, there is at the same time a generally acknowledged betterment of conditions of living. Travelers revisiting Vienna say they do not recognize the city of a year ago. The mass of the people are better dressed, and more plentiful food is shown in their healthy appearance. The green and sallow faces have disappeared, and on the whole the Viennese are nearly back to normal as far as external evidence goes. Paris can hardly show a more fashionably owned crowd of women than that which turns out for the ring promende in the afternoon or throngs the high-class shopping district in the morrours. Shops Display Luxuries. The shop display of luxurious wares of every description increases until the Arbeiter Zeitung says it exceeds Vienna's best days of before the war. The same newspaper admits there is steady progress and betterment in business and general conditions. The famous deli tessen shops are reopening with almost their old-time excellence. The windows are filled with fancy dinties for which the city was noted, canned stuff's of the finest foreign makes are to be bought, American crackers and biscuits are common in the grocery stores, the candy shops are restocked, and while last winter a pound of sweets was virtually unprocurable the finest fresh bonbons now are to be had in any quantity. White bread is served in nearly every restaurant, and the bakery windows again display the famous Vienna pastries and cakes. In the poorer districts even the butcher shops and grocery stores reflect the same condition. Everyone Is Spending. Everyone seems to have it and to be spending it. Enormously advanced prices for everything seem not to have affected the volume of business. Printing presses are now turning out about 5,000,000,000 crowns a month to meet the government expenses. The current budget shows a deficit of 50,000,000,000 crowns. The wealth levy has produced thus far about 9,000,000,000 crowns, half of which was paid in war bonds, leaving enough cash from this source to meet about one month's running expenses for the government. Through its spokesmen and newspapers the government is urging the need of haste in the proposed credit plan of the League of Nations by which enough foreign capital is sought to establish a bank of issue whose new currency on a gold basis is expected gradually to stabilize the value of the present crown. WOOL INSTEAD OF FEATHERS Freak Duck Born on Long Island May Be Progenitor of New Breed. Eastport, L. L—"Fuzzy," the featherless duck, a white Pekin frenk, breed by George Frey of the Sunnyside duck farm, is creating great excitement among breeders, who see a way to make a fortune if "Fuzzy's" tribe can be increased. It costs 6 cents to pluck a duck. When a man has 20,000 ducks to prepare for market plucking runs into money. "Fuzzy" came along more or less by accident, but Mr. Frey is dreaming of the "edge" he would have if he could run a featherless duck farm. "Fuzzy" came into the world queerly dressed. As he grew older his coat became queerer. Some say it is down, others think it is wool. At any rite, it is short, white and fuzzy. Hence the name. "Fuzzy" will head a pen of breeders from which Mr. Frey expects eventually to produce ducks that will do away with the expense of hiring pluckers. Plants Beans 900 Years Old Plants Beans 900 Years Old. Sellina, Kan.-Rev. M. M. Stoltz, librarian at the Kansas Wesleyan university, has received from Frederick Brorson, a graduate of the school, some relics from the ruins of Mesa Verde, in the national park, which will be placed in the university museum. Among them are some corn, corn cobs and beans that were taken from between rocks where scientists say they have been for 900 years. The cobs 'took as if they had been picked this year and the corn and beans are in a perfect state of preservation. Doctor Stoltz has planted some of the corn and beans and he declares that he believes they will sprout and grow. Long Thumb—Strong Wilt If the top joint of your thumb is long, it shows that you have good will power. Well-developed reasoning facilities are possessed by those people who have thumbs the second joints of which are long. Thumbs that work easily are owned by careless, happy-go-lucky, spendthrift individuals. A stiff, firm jointed thumb, however, shows that the person is keen, tactful, self-possessed, and cautious—the sort of man who will get on in the world. ELIXIR OF YOUTH FOUND IN CHICAGO Decrepit Old John Shebec Took But One Dose and Did Some Great Stunts. GLIMPSE OF "DICK'S" STAR Senile Cripple Overtook Trolley Car and Would Have Defeated Police Flivver If the Street Crowds Had Not Hampered Him. Chicago.—John Sheebee, who is 67 years old, discovered the elixir of youth the other day. Before taking he was stooped, lame, decrepit, hopelessly senile. After one dose he was able to hop a speeding street car, cutrage a fliver, and stand on his ear. Mr. Sheebee was first observed by Detective Sergeants Bierndt and Janacaz at Western avenue and Madison street. He was limping. "Give me a quarter for carfare, please," he asked them. Biernid started to explain that transportation in this City of the Horn may be purchased, theoretically, at a nickel a ride—and, if one is traveling in the suburbs outside the precincts of the city hall, at 8 cents. He meant to follow up this information with a remark that the old man's two-bit demand was a bit exorbitant. He was interrupted, however, by a citizen who burst from the corner saloon. He Sees a Star. "You old rascal, I just gave you carfare," shouted the man. "Aha," quoth Bierndt, "come with me." He exhibited his star. One casual glance at the glittering elixir worked a marvelous transformation. It penetrated the ancient's system instanter and invested his feet with a zest for voyage. The next instant Shebec was ten yards away. The instant after that he was scarcely discernible for dust. "Holy haste!" exclaimed Bierndt. "That guy's exceeding the speed limit. What he needs is a pair of brakes." The detectives jumped into their fluffer and tore after the vanishing Shebec. About a block ahead was a street car, traveling at the rate of numerous miles per hour. It saw the ancient chasing it and tried to get away. "Too Durned Slow." No use! With an easy leap Shebec had achieved the step. Then he looked behind him and saw that the police fliver was making better time than the street car. "You're too durned slow," said he to the conductor—and off he jumped. The particular section of the metropolis into which the anecdote leaped was a bit populated. The abundant citizenry impeded his progress and made straight running impossible. In the zigzagginz which ensured the fliver had time to catch up and Shebec was apprehended. In his pockets were found twenty $1 bills and about $5 in coins. "I think I'll enter that bird in the Indianapolis sweepstakes next year," said Biernidt at the station. "He runs without gas and never has tire trouble. He's the fastest thing I ever saw in pants." "DEAD" MAN RETURNS HOME Supposed Victim of Railway Accident Gives His Relatives a Very Happy Surprise. Youngstown, O. — Sadness was turned into rebeling when W. J. Mills, who was identified as having been killed by a train near Williamson, W. Va., last April, walked into the home of his daughter, Mrs. Ida Malone, Parkersburg, W. Va., and gave her and his two sons a surprise that they will long remember. Instead of grieving over the passing of their father, whom they believed was killed, they are happily explaining how they were mistaken when they identified another for him in a morgue in Williamson. Mills explained that he had been visiting friends in Youngstown, and that he was so deeply impressed with the steel city, its environment and suburbs that he forgot to write. The family is trying to decide what disposition to make of the body of the man who was buried in the family plot near Parkersburg. PAN GOLD IN LOS ANGELES Workers Find Pay Gravel Not So Very Many Miles From the Center of the City. Los Angeles.—Gold is being panned daily but a few miles from the center of the city of Los Angeles and near the heart of the north residential district. Guy W. Rollins, chief engineer for a rock and gravel company, which operates in the Arroyo Seco, has installed a system of crude sluice boxes, and each day "mans" out a quantity of the precious metal that nets him $20 weekly. The gold dust is found in the gravel that is dug from the bed of the Arroyo Seco and for years has been left with the crushed gravel to be used in road construction. Rollins discovered the "pay streak" when he entered the company's employ several months ago and has been panning it since then.

He gave a report on his investigation of the alleged clipping of the hair of a little girl at Fourth and Center street for which three colored men had been taken into custody, but released when investigation proved that the child had lied and she or her playmates had attempted to bob her hair. The cut hair was found in the grass. The next meeting will be held Sunday afternoon at St. John's A. M. E. church. WINS ILLINOIS BRIDE John W.

Kansas Town Has Most Elaborate Affair of the Kind. It Cost $225,000 and Pupils From Seven Districts Are Transported in Motor Buses. Garden City, Kan.—What is described as one of the most elaborate and complete consolidated school plants in America has just been dedicated at Holcomb, seven miles west of Garden City on the western Kansas prairie. The plant cost $225,000. Seven school districts joined to construct the single plant where the pupils may have the advantage of a city school, including manual training, domestic science and scientific training of several varieties. Six one-room schools of the old type and a three-room school at Holcomb were abandoned in favor of the consolidated project. The pupils are transported to the school by motor buses driven by teachers, who receive $20 a month for this extra work. The buses have a capacity of 30 to 40 pupils each. The Holcomb consolidated school district has an area of 1242 square miles. The school population at present is 375. The new plant has a capacity of 605 grade and high school pupils. The consolidated school group consists of seven buildings in all, with others to be added later, a first-class farm for instruction in practical agriculture, and a large athletic field. In addition to the main high school building and a grade school building, there is a large garage for housing the motor busses, a cottage for the superintendent, and a cottage for the janitor.

Explorer Decries Mannish Garb of London Women London.—British women are losing womanliness by adopting the dress as well as the habits of men, according to Mrs. Rosita Forbes, the famous explorer. While clergymen are denouncing women for drinking, smoking and swearing Mrs. Forbes deplores most the custom of cutting off the hair and the adoption of mannish garb. "Women should keep their womanhood," said Mrs. Forbes. "It is certainly better to be a perfect woman than an imperfect man."

Department Store and Railway Office Lead the Way and Others Follow. Chicago.—"The dolls must go." This is the feeling in business circles and marks a revolt against the extreme dressing and artificial make-up of many office and sales girls. One big department store has banned all dresses except black, gray and brown. No knee lengths. The girls in the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy offices read a notice putting the kibosh on transparent waist, stockings and paint. Even gum has been barbed. "More and more employers are specifying how a girl shall dress," said L. R. Troll, manager of the American Railway bureau, which furnishes office help to employers. "A great many are reticent when it comes to stating just how a girl should dress, as they consider it none of their business, so when they call me over the telephone they simply specify 'quietly dressed' young women. When I talk to them in their private offices they tell me how undesirable the flashy dressed girl is. "They notice a lot of things, too. There is a special objection right now to the light gray silk hose which the girls are wearing." Miss Josephine Bessems, manager of the Women's Occupational bureau, gave instances of many girls who had failed to get positions because of their flashy clothes. "For a railroad office where the girls do not meet the public a gingham dress is best," she declared. David Hallman, manager of the La Salle Employment bureau, has discovered that the girls wear modest dresses when they come into his office looking for a job and then as soon as they are hired they put on flash attire. "There are some slaves to style who never will give up their extreme dress, though," he ventured. Bedeuwald A.

Lady Surma is expected to be the first woman president in the world—as she has been the first woman ambassador—so soon as the national parliament of the Assyrians is organized. Great Britain recently assigned a little territory comprising 80,000 square miles in the mountains of Kurdistan to the Assyrian people. Lady Surma obtained this concession from the British government, having acted as ambassador at London. She is an accomplished linguist and has been thoroughly educated under the guidance of British tutors. Her brother, Mar Chinon, was patriarch of the Assyrians. He was murdered. WHAT THE PEOPLE THINK.

The campaign which The Monitor has been waging to secure better illumination for N. 24th St., deserves the special commendation of all business and professional men of this section of the city. While The Monitor has taken the initiative, it should not be alone in the fight, but rather The Monitor suq 11 nuq 13əj oɪ apum aq pnpoqs the hearty cooperation of business men and residents on N. 24th St. Not, however, by silent approbation of what The Monitor is doing, but by joining hands with The Monitor in a sane but vigorous agitation. The present administration is conscious of the fact that N. 24th St. is rapidly becoming one of Omaha's principal thoroughfares.

SHOULD GET CLOSER TO GQD Los Angeles, Cal., July 20. Editor Monitor: I have read with a great deal of interest your advice to our group to practice self-restraint and not resort to retaliation. I hope that since you have struck the keynote other papers will give a great deal of publicity to your ideas. With mobs running rampant among blacks and whites in various sections of the United States, it would seem that it is only a question of time until we will be bordering on a state of general anarchy. I think members of our group should realize the necessity of getting closer to God for it is He alone Who will help us to win our battles against race prejudice and oppression. Sincerely yours, Raymond J. Knox. EDITORS TAKE CHAIR (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., July 28.—A high backed editorial chair presented to President Harding by more than 600 fellow newspaper editors, last Tuesday, was added to the furnishings of the Presidential study in the White House. It was made from wood from the famous old schooner Revenge, captured from the British on Lake Champlain during the Revolutionary war. Senator Capper of Kansas, published of the Topeka Capital, was selected to make the presentation speech, and another member of the committee of seventy-five which arranged the presentation was James M. Cox, publisher of the Dayton News and Mr. Harding's Democratic opponent for the Presidency last year. In accepting the gift the President said: "It goes without saying that I am delighted to have this token of esteem of men of the Fourth Estate. It touches me 'rather deeply because I have a very great pride in the part I have had in the newspaper profession. "If I could have my life to live over with all the experiences that have come to me I would not change my profession nor would I alter the policy with which I have somewhat characterized the newspaper of which I am the publisher."
