OUR COLORED CITIZENS PAY DIRECT TAXES ON PROPERTY WORTH LIFTING $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy OUR COLOR NEGRO EDUCATION PAYS BIG DIVIDENDS DECLARE EXPERTS The Land-Grant Colleges in People Need Many More 1. Teachers For the Rapidly Developing Work GGVERNMENT CO-OPERATING Southern State Legislatures Make Larger Annual Appropriations For Educational Work Among Negroes Hampton, Va., Mar. 8—The outstanding need of the land-grant colleges for colored people is a supply of trained teachers who can uphold high standards and who can give their pupils what those pupils need. This fact was made clear at the recent Nashville meeting of the heads and other representatives of the colored land-grant colleges, called and presided over by Dr. John J. Tugert, U. S. Commissioner of Education. Hon. J. B. Brown, State superintendent of public instruction for Tennessee, in his address of welcome, expressed the greetings and interest of Gov. Alfred A. Taylor. He stated that 101,000 Negro children in Tennessee, of 160,000 who are of school age, are enrolled in school. Leaders Face Big Problem Dr. Tigert emphasized the value of the human element in National progress. He declared that Negroes should be given freely the education which they need and should have. Dr. A. C. True, director of the States Relations Service, U. S. Department of Agriculture, brought the greeting of Secretary Wallace. Doctor True stated that it is important that the Negro Colleges should get a correct idea of their obligations to the people whom they serve, since their work is one phase of a world-wide educational movement for vocational education. “There are still comparatively few good institutions for vocational training,” declared Dr. True. “As long as industries were simple and labor was both cheap and plentiful, there was comparatively little progress or need of skilled workers. The human element in industry is now tremendously important, and prosperous industrial communities demand trained workers. Education Is Needed For All Groups “Vocational education is not narrow; it must include the principles and fundamentals of the business and its relation to community life. "Negroes need, of course, a certain number of persons who will be professionally trained, as well as mechanics and farmers. There will be gifted Negroes in music, in art and in literature, who must have the training that is suited to their needs. As with other races, however, the majority will be engaged in the more mechanical pursuits. Negro Farmers Are Assets "There are 925,000 Negro farmers in the United States, or 15 per cent of the total number of farmers. Over 700,000 of these are tenants or operators. There are about 218,000 farm owners. "There are about 160 Negro farm demonstration agents and about 80 home demonstration agents who are working under the United States Department of Agriculture. There are also two Negro special agents. "The U. S. Department of Agriculture would like to develop this work further. Yet, even if the Congress should give us a larger fund for this purpose, our greatest difficulty would be to find people with the requisite training and experience. Therefore, the land-grant colleges should try to turn them out. They need more money for this purpose." Teacher-Training Interests Officials Chas. H. Lane, chief of the agricul- tural education service of the Federal Board for Vocational Education, outlined the progress which has been made under the Smith-Hughes Act, passed in 1917, in teaching boys and girls in school and in helping farmers and housekeepers through-funds which are entirely in the hands of State boards of vocational education. Education for Colored Home-Makers Miss Anna E. Richardson, chief of the home economics service of the Federated Board for Vocational Education, paid a tribute to the excellent work of the home economic supervisors who are at work in the Southern states. "There are three things which are to be done," she said, "by land-grant colleges for colored girls: train home-makers, train for occupations connected with home-making work and allied activities, and train teachers. These teachers must have a good general education and a good techui- THE MONITOR cal or professional training." Negro Institutes Win Public Support William J. Hale of Nashville, president of the Tennessee Agricultural and Industrial State Normal School, stated that in 1919 three white and one colored normal schools were established in Tennessee. The first year $15,000 were given by Tennessee for its colored land-grant college, while last year $55,000 were given—and in addition $75,000 were given for houses. J. S. Clark, president of Southern University, which is located six miles out of Baton Rouge, La., declared that "the colored land-grant colleges have been called on to do almost everything." He stated that T. H. Harris, State Superintendent of Public Instruction, and Gov. John T. Parker have been outstanding figures in Louisiana's educational program. The first year $10,000 were appropriated for Southern University. The last Legislature appropriated $267,000 for Southern University and also $80,000 for a school for the Negro blind, which has been built on the Southern University campus. Today 1000 colored people own their own homes in the neighborhood of Southern University. 1223 Rosenwald Schools The Conference sent a resolution of appreciation to Julius Rosenwald of Chicago for his interest and cooperation in the rural school-building campaign which is going on throughout the South. Today there are 1223 Rosenwald schools, with a teacher capacity of 2812, built at a total cost of $4,012,923, which has been contributed as follows: Negroes $1,139,165; whites, $277,668; public funds, $1,840,210; and Rosenwald aid, $755,880. Dr. Walton C. John of Washington, D. C., specialist in land-grant college statistics, U. S. Bureau of Education, who served as the executive secretary of the Conference, stated the principal objects of this meeting of leaders in colored land-grant college work: the revision of courses of study in agriculture and home economics; the improvement of equipment; the development of higher standards; and the stimulation of more interest so as to secure more adequate financial support for colored land-grant colleges. INTERNATIONAL Y. SECRETARY VISITS OMAHA FRIENDS Robert B. DeFrance Spends Several Days in City in the Interest of Effort to Organize Local Colored Branch Robert B. DeFrantz, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian Association, with hearquarters in New York City, is spending several days in Omaha this week in the interest of the effort to organize and establish a branch of this organization among the colored men and boys of the city. This movement has been under way for some months, an active committee has been at work and a secretary in the person of J. Fletcher Bryant has been on the ground, surveying the field and organizing and directing such activities as the tentative plans and circumscribed situation would permit. The work thus far has been primitively experimental because of unfortunate limitations, but some progress has been made. Mr. DeFranze has been busy holding conferences with the special committee and also the officials of the Central Branch, whom the Monitor considers rather luke-warm over the proposition and is quite sanguine of the successful development of the Branch. He is particularly well pleased with the calibre of our own committee who have the matter in hand. Mr. DeFranz leaves Saturday morning for Des Moines. While here he was the guest of Dr. W. W. Peebles. PROMINENT BASEBALL MANAGER STRIKES OUT (Associated Negro Press) Indianapolis, Ind., Mar. 3—C. I. Taylor, owner of the A. B. C. baseball club, one of the most prominent business men in the country, died at his home here after a ten days' illness. Thursday morning at 10:20 o'clock. He was taken ill with the influenza and his condition became so serious that two doctors and two nurses attended him constantly. He was fifty years old and came to Indianapolis from Birmingham, Ala., some years ago. His affable manner and business traits caused him to be successful and the name of the A. B. C. baseball team which he headed is known all over the country. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 3rd, 1922 PRESIDENT HARDING GIVES FARM MATTER DUE CONSIDERATION Favorably Receiver Committee Which Lays Before the Chief Executive Peculiar Difficulties of the Colored Farmers FAVORS A LIBERAL SUPPORT Provisions of the Federal Farm Loan Act Should be Impartially and Equitably Applied to Meet Needs of Negroes (Special to the Monitor) By Walter J. Singleton (Staff Correspondent) Washington, D. C., March 3.—At the recent National Agricultural Conference, held in Washington, the race was recognized as a factor in agricultural industry. A committee on Negro Farm Problems was organized, and a report was prepared and submitted, officially to the Conference. The personnel of the committee was as follows: Benjamin F. Hubert, of Alabama, chairman; Chas. E. Hall of Illinois, secretary; W. S. Scarborough, of Ohio, and R. W. Westberry, of South Carolina, members. The Conference adopted the report in its entirety. Facts of momentous interest to colored farmers and particularly to those of the western states, were brought out and should encourage those who contemplate entrance into this field of industry, as well as those who are already so engaged. The difficult and all-important problem of finances is made easier than ever before in the history of the country. The Federal Loan Act facilitates easier and more practicable terms than ever before. The committee, introduced by Secretary Wallace, of the Department of Agriculture, was received at the White House by President Harding, who expressed a lively interest in its work and high approval of the promotion and stimulation of agricultural activity among the people of our race. The committee was enthusiastically received on every side. It is hoped that the participation of the race in agriculture may be extended and stimulated as a result of the better opportunities now offered. The economic world offers no finer pursuit for the home-loving element of our race than that of farming. The former is most vital and necessary to the country. No occupation offers greater stability of citizenship or security in home and living. The farmer's standing in the community is on the ascendency and his influence in politics is beginning to be felt. Outstanding paragraphs in the report of the committee follows: There is a special need for a more favorable application of the Federal Farm Loan Act in its relation to colored farmers so that they may be able to obtain all of the assistance that may be had through this helpful source and be relieved from the too-frequent pressure of local money-loaners. There is much dissatisfaction among the rural districts on account of poor school facilities, which, in many cases have been the cause for a general migration from the farms to the cities. Because of this we urge a more liberal support from the state and local governments. There should be a more adequate distribution of federal funds than are allotted to the different states under the Smith-Lever and the Smith-Hughes Acts so that Negro farmers may receive a greater benefit, to the end that we may have a larger number of well-trained men and women to advise and to work in the rural districts. This is especially necessary because of the fact that this class of our farming population has had less advantage than most of the other farming groups. VETERAN EDITOR VISITS TUS- KEGEE Tuskegee Institute, Ala., March 3—Mr. J. H. Murphy, editor of the Afro-American, Baltimore, Maryland, was among the prominent visitors at the Tuskegee Institute, during the past week. During his stay Mr. Murphy, who is, perhaps, the Dean of Negro editors, spoke to the students and faculty upon two occasions, pointing out the good of industrial training and urging the students to strive to press forward at all times. He was entertained at dinner by the Twentieth Century Club, on Monday evening. Mr. Murphy was accompanied by his son, D. F. Murphy, and is enroute to Florida. While at the Institute, he was the guest of Dr. R. R. Moton. DIRECTOR DESDUNES DAN DESDUNES DESDUNE'S BAND SCORES ANOTHER GREAT TRIUMPH Famous Musical Organization Give Most Pretenent Programs in Its Eventful and Highly Successful Career Despite severe cold weather which made shivering Omaha reluctant to leave its fireside, an audience of over 1,600 braved the elements Monday night to attend the concert given by Dan Desdunes famous band at the City Auditorium. The audience was well repaid for its attendance, the band delighting it with the best rendered and most pretentious program in its eventful, successful and pleasing career. Numbers like the Tannhauser Overture by Wagner, accounted by critics the highest and most difficult composition written; and the Barber of Seville by Rossini, played faultlessly, will give some idea of the character of the program, and the excellence of its rendition. The program was exceptionally well balanced. In attack, rhythm, phrasing and interpretation every number approached perfection. "The Sheik," by Tad Snyder, but especially arranged by Desdunes, elicited high praise; but this is equally true of every selection. The numbers by the large chorus showed good training and were well received. As a cornet soloist Jeff Smith well sustained his national reputation. Messrs H. L. Preston, baritone, and Levt Bronfield, tenor, were in good voice and sang well. The star of the soloists was Madame Lena Curry, who has a cultivated soprano voice of high register and great sweetness. She was forced to respond repeatedly to encores. The concert was given for the benefit of St. John's A. M. E. church, and was under the direction of Mr. William Lewis, manager of the band, and the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of the church. Mrs. G. B. Riley and Rev. J. Fletcher Bryant assisted in training the choir. (Continued on page Four) IF YOU PLEASE Good friends, you say you giving you a good paper.

Donald R. Hooker, white, of Baltimore, was a "red" and a "radical" for advocating intermarriage of the races, senators urged that she be denied the privilege of entering the state Capitol February 22. Mrs. Hooker's ideas would destroy Maryland's miscegenation laws, declared Senator Robb, of Allegheny county, who criticized Mrs. Hooker's attitude, offered no facts to prove the falsity of her statements. What Mrs. Hooker Said The cause of the senatorial ebullition was the following remark of Mrs. Hooker, who is an ardent champion of woman's rights, before a meeting of the Just Government League in Baltimore a few days previous. Said she: "Intermarriage between white women and Japanese, Negroes, Hindus or members of any other race is justifiable, provided the union is founded on love. "Too often," said Mrs. Hooker. "marriages are founded on considerations which have little to do with love. When mutual affection is taken as a basis for marriage, unnatural selection of mates disappears and the situation is as nature intended it to be. The present intermingling of races exists without being sanctioned by law. "There are Negro half-breeds and Japanese half-breeds and half-breeds of other races. The great hordes of these tragic souls would diminish considerably, in my opinion, if women would mate merely for love, for I do not believe that there would be an intermingling of a superior race and an inferior race if that were the case." HAVE YOU THIRTY-FIVE CENTS WORTH OF RACE PRIDE? The Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, located at 817 North Sixteenth, where it can be visited and inspected by everybody interested, is a race enterprise and manufactures Dentlo, one of the best tooth pastes on the market. This tooth paste retails at thirty five cents for a full two-ounce tube. Just suppose that 1000 of the 12,000 colored citizens of Omaha, would buy ONE TUBE a month, how long do you think it would be before the Kaffir Chemical Co. would have to enlarge its plant and give employment to hundreds of our people. Have you enough race pride to spend just 35 cents for a tube of Dentlo, a pyrrhora preventive tooth paste, an article which you need and should use, to help build up a creditable business enterprise in your community? If you use a tooth paste, why not use Dentlo? Buy one tube at least. You like The Monitor. We are stakes lots of work, hours and out for you.

C., March 3—Undergraduate life at Howard University is now centered in the coming intercollegiate debates to be held in the spring with Lincoln University, Virginia Union University, and Atlant University. Howard last year entered into a triangular debating league with Union and Lincoln Universities and the same arrangement will hold for this year. Lincoln will debate in Philadelphia and Union University at Richmond. Howard will meet Union at Washington. On the same night each of the three colleges will have two teams debating its rivals on opposite sides of the question. This triangular debate will be held March 21, 1922. The proposition to be discussed is: "Resolved, That the Open Shop policy should prevail in American Industries." In addition to the triangular debate, Howard will also meets its ancient forensic rival, Atlanta University, in Washington two weeks prior to the triangular debate. The subject of the debate will be: "Resolved, That the United States should cancel the war debt of the Allies." Howard will uphold the affirmative and Atlanta the negative. NEWS OF A. & T.

GROWING _____ _____ THANK YOU Whole Number 346 $2,500,000 OMAHA'S COLORED CITIZENRY ALIVE AND PROGRESSIVE Numbering Over Six Thousand Souls It Constitutes More Than Six Per Cent of Total Population and Is Doing Its Share MANY AGENCIES ARE ACTIVE Interesting Facts Concerning Many Churches, Clubs, Lodges, and the Various Organizations That Function in City (Brief Sketch by J. H. Pinkett) The colored people of Omaha number about twelve thousand souls. Two-thirds of this number live in a section of the city where they constitute more than one-half of the population, and the other third lives in various parts of the city. What this group, living where paved streets are the fewest and the lights less bright than in more favored sections, is doing, with its ever increasing numbers in the North, should be the concern of all thoughtful elements of both races. What is so strange about this group, among us and of us, concerning whom we know so little? They are thought of as a happy, care-free group, given to pleasurable and, sometimes, too much play, but rarely serious. In the community at large, indeed, little is known about them as they really are. The group, nevertheless, has its own agencies through which it works and serves its own and the bigger, outer world. Of these agencies the church is predominant both in numbers and influence. There is a total of eighteen churches with an enrollment of about five thousand members. Several hundred thousand dollars are invested in this property. For greater effectiveness and usefulness, these ministers haxe joined together in an alliance which holds weekly meetings and discusses various questions for the betterment of their churches and the racial group which they serve. Several of these ministers are products of the best theological seminaries. Others, through hard work, have become leaders in their field. Aside from the churches, the fraternal organizations, the Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Y. W. C. A., the Y. M. C. A., the two weekly papers, the musical organizations, the Medical Society, and the smaller organizations are doing their share in their spheres. The fraternal organizations are composed of about three thousand members and they operate along lines usual among such societies. Many of the chapters own their assembly rooms. The Colored Commercial Club, at 2414 Maple Street, is fostering many activities of a helpful nature. Perhaps the best known of these is the Free Employment Bureau, which makes an effort to select and place responsible parties in positions, and follow up each case where possible. During a period of slightly more than a year, this bureau has placed one thousand two hundred persons in positions of various kinds. It has also co-operated with labor and labor agencies here and in the South and East to avoid overcrowding the labor field in Omaha. Its primary aim has been to serve Omaha citizens. Among other things, too, the Club investigates all cases brought to its attention of colored persons who seek financial contributions from the public. Those persons who are found worthy and who represent worthy causes are endorsed and others refused endorsement. This plan operates as a protection to both races. In the club rooms, the Roosevelt Post of the American Legion, composed of colored veterans of the World War, makes its headquarters, as do the Boy Scouts. Here, also, is a branch of the Omaha Public Library which is well patronized by the residents of the vicinity. The club seeks to encourage and co-operate with all helpful agencies of the community. Its membership is made up of men engaged in small businesses, ministers, doctors, dentists and lawyers. It is seeking in every possible way to harmonize all differences between the white and colored groups of Omaha by constructive effort, and to establish a point of contact to this end. Other agencies, serving a useful purpose, which have been referred to, are the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which seeks to secure for the colored citizen justice before the law; the Y. W. C. A., which is doing good work among the women and girls of the (Continued on Page Four) THE MONITOR Published every Friday at Omaha, Nebraska, by the Monitor Publishing Company.

CRISPUS ATTUCKS DAY THE ever-vigilant, militant National Equal Rights League, whose headquarters are located at 34 Cornhill street, Boston, Massachusetts, directly opposite the spot where Crispus Attucks fell, has sponsored a movement for a country-wide observance of March 5 of each year, the anniversary of Attucks' death, as a "National Colored American Day," when attention will be riveted upon the fact that the first blood shed for American independence was that of a member of our race. It is urged, and most rightfully, that by virtue of that blood-shedding we are entitled to the full rights of American citizenship. As the official call for this national observance states it, "By that first blood we attained fundation title to all the liberty and rights. We need to tell our rising generation of this ground title to citizenship to assure the middle-aged. We need universally to celebrate this date that we may cause our white fellow-Americans to realize our real original Americanism and our claim to every right." This movement was started two years ago and the observance of the day is growing. It is a most commendable idea, chiefly because of its educational value and as a source of inspiration to our youth. There is a vast deal of ignorance among all classes of Americans as to the part played by Colored Americans, or Negroes, if you please, in American history. It is safe to assert that not one-half of one per cent of reasonably well-read Americans, either white or black, ever heard of Crispus Attucks. And yet historians who cannot conscientiously justify "the Boston Mob" or consider those who fell from the bullets of the British soldiers, March 5, 1775, as "martyrs to the sacred cause of American liberty," admit that this was the event which precipitated the conflict which ultimately issued in the birth of a new nation. Nor can it be without significance, when considered in the light of a Supreme Power which controls the destinies of men and nations, that the first blood to be shed at the birth of this nation, to that of one in whose veins commingled the ruddy streams of African and Indian ancestry and again Rebellion would have throttled the nation's life that the first blood to be of that poured should be that of a Negro. Men may call such happenings chance. We do not so consider them. We believe that some plan and purpose underlies these significant and historic incidents. Whether the sobering effect of time will remove some of the glamour and halo from the incidents and heroes of Revolutionary days remains to be seen. Be that as it may, the fact remains that in the estimation of their contemporaries, and subsequent generations confirmed the verdict, Attucks and Carr and Maverick, who fell in the streets of Boston, March 5, 1775, were patrols and martyrs for American liberty. If this be true, and American historians so affirm, then we do well to proudly proclaim the fact of Attucks' part and our place in the American republic by virtue of his martyrdom. OURSELVES IN OMAHA It gives us pleasure to publish in this issue an interesting sketch of some of the activities of our people in this city by H. J. Pinkett. It does us good now and then to see ourselves in our group activities which really amount to a good deal. Such a sketch will also furnish much needed information to many of our white friends in Omaha who are readers of The Monitor. It will be interesting for them to learn that our people own, for example, upwards of $2,500,000 in property. Individual holdings may be comparatively small but in the aggregate amount to a large sum.

FOR GOVERNOR The Monitor notes with great pleasure that our good friend, Adam McMullen of Beatrice has filed for the nomination for governor on the republican ticket. It is early in the game, but here is wishing him success. We do not know and do not care how the politicians may line up and combine, but The Monitor is for McMullen for governor, because we believe he will make a good one. TRUE POLITENESS Politeness is refinement of manners. It is derived from a word which means to polish, and signifies a desire to bring to others the greatest pleasure and the least pain. It is benevolence in little things and consists in treating our fellow beings as we wish to be treated ourselves. In social life there are mutual rights that must be preserved. This is done by united action, and as a duty it is called co-operation. When general affairs are considered, the guiding principle of this duty's public spirit; but the virtue takes the form of politeness when the duty is toward individuals whom we meet in the many relations of life. Politeness is modest, choosing to conceal a courtesy when done; it is benevolent, avoiding what is disagreeable to others and seeking to do what is gratifying to their feelings; it is of personal value, costing little and yielding much; it is of social advantage, for politeness is always necessary to complete the happiness of society; it is natural being a quality of all who have the feelings of man. Politeness is often thought to be mere attention to external forms—a matter of bowing and shaking hands, use of compliments, and observance of what is fashionable, but this is a mistaken notion; true politeness is far more dignified than the outer garments of good will. "It has to do not merely with manners, but with the mind and heart. It refines and softens our feeling opinions and words." Its source is in the moral nature of man, and every external force of politeness has a moral ground on which it rests. True politeness aims at the real good of mankind, and endeavors to make every one easy and happy by contributing not only little attentions but also services of a more substantial kind. This virtue is a coin, tending to enrich him who expends it even more than the one who receives it. It is a refining and softening quality, which polishes rudeness, temper, and arrogance, and helps to make us blameless and harmless, and without rebuke. —The True Voice. "Hearts, like doors, can open with ease to very, very little keys; And don't forget that two are these—'Thank you, sir,' and 'If you please.'" Owis is Old University City. Owls, is as proper in the case of birds of such renowned solemnity and secluded habit, have always exhibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have established a new colony in the ivy-covered walls of the Bodleian library and the Tower of the Five Orders, in the Old Schools quadrangle. Members of the library staff now occasionally and relaxation from their duties by rescuing the young birds which find their way down to the pavement of the quadrangle and are unable to fly up to their nests. A thoughtful touch in the furnishing and decorating of the guestroom is the addition of a knocker on the door. There are many quint flowered ones designed, which are as dainty as they are practical. ACTORS ARE HIT HARD More Are Now Looking for Jobs Than Ever Before. Managers Say 7,500 Are Idle—Complaints Are Heard From Broadway to "Main Street" of Poor Business. New York.—There are today more unemployed actors and other stage people walking along Broadway and a hundred other cities looking for jobs than ever before. Everybody in Times square who knows anything about the theater, from the cut-rate ticket hawker to the producer of a dozen hits, is complaining. The tailors, landladdies and boarding-house owners seem to feel the hard times as acutely as the actors. They have sought a great many judgments recently against stage folk who overlooked the rather proxic duty of paying their bills. In larger cities of the country where the lights flicker only a little less brightly than in Broadway, conditions are just as bad, according to the heads of producing concerns and organizations of actors. Chicago, once a lively theatrical center, whence producers sent forth many road shows, is "dead" now in that activity, local managers report. Very few shows, they say, are trained and distributed from the Illinois metropolis to the Midwest and South, because overhead expenses have grown beyond the capacity of the box offices. Several well-known managers estimated that half of the 15,000 actors in the United States, exclusive of vaudeville performers, were out of work. The Actors' Equity association said the number was not so large as that, but was 20 per cent worse than usually. The bicycle riders and dancing teams which flit from city to city under vaudeville contracts have not suffered greatly. Vaudeville tickets generally are less expensive than those for drama or girl-and-music shows, and the public seems willing to buy them even if money isn't so easy to get as it used to be, the booking houses report. Nor have any howls of complaint been heard from the many bird dogs and terriers who go about the country in tent shows posing as bloodhounds in "Uncle Tom's Cabin." For some reason, the roaming tent shows and boat shows that play the small, smaller and smallest villages are said not to have felt a drop in attendance, and there are now 700 of them scattered over the land. Aside from the general letup in luxury buying, many reasons are given for the extremely hard times in the theater. The managers complain of unbearable overhead expenses—increased railroad fare and union regulations, which they assert, require the employment at high wages of a lot of men who only want to sit around and boss somebody else. Union leaders say this isn't so, and explain that the main difficulties are railroad rates and competition by the movies. Both agree that, while a company on tour formerly was a paying proposition if the box office took in $7,000 or $8,000 a week, it requires almost double that income nowadays to keep the show going. NEW PLANET VISIBLE IN 1923 Astronomer at Buenos Aires Reports Globe Has Diameter of $15\frac{1}{2}$ Miles. Buenos Aires.—Doctor Hartmann, director of the La Plata observatory, says that the orbit of the little planet he discovered on November 4 lies between the orbits of the planets Jupiter and Mars. The orbit is elliptical and is covered in five years and seven months. As the plane of the orbit is very inclined in regard to the earth's equator, the new planet can approach the poles closer than most of the other planets and may be observed late this year until the fall of 1923 in a very northern position. The diameter of the globe is estimated at about $15\frac{1}{2}$ miles, as its brilliancy, taken at the last observation, appeared to be of the fifteenth magnitude. Rabbit Ate Rosary St. Louis.—A rosary entwined in the stomach of a rabbit was discovered by a butcher here the other day after a small boy had traded the rabbit to the butcher for a supply of apples. The rabbit, the boy's pet, used to train hunting dogs, broke a leg one day in escaping from a dog and had to be killed. DEER SMASHES WINDOWS IN PENNYSLVANIA CITY Scranton, Pa.—A full grown antlered deer bolted through some miles of Scranton's streets leaving a trail of shattered windows and scattered provisions. Where the animal came from no one knows, and has apparently returned to the same place. In its flight through the city the deer jumped through a large plate glass window in a grocery, scattering provisions right and left and making its exit through a door in the rear. When last seen it was heading toward the mountains. MAN SLEPT IN STORE TO SLAY ROBBER NO. 23 After his store had been robbed 22 times in the last two years, F. J.

MUST REPORT ALL TRANSFERS Ordinance Requires Owners of Vane or Other Vehicles to Report All Moving to Police—Helpful to Authorities. Birmingham, Ala.—Those who find it cheaper to move than to pay rent or meet other bills, are pretty well reformed in this city, or are in process of being weeded out in either case by means of an ordinance so riveted that offenders cannot escape. The ordinance requires the owner of every transfer or other vehicle to report promptly all moving to the chief of police, and entries of the same are at once made in a book duly alphabeted and dated, and the book is always open for the inspection of any and everyone who may ask to see it. Of course one who plans to turn delinquent will try to conceal his identity while in the act of moving, but the ordinance makers foresaw that impulse and attached penalties for false names or misleading reports, which fairly shut out that form of trickery. Altogether the ordinance has worked so well that Birmingham has been solicited by other cities for copies of the act and for the experiences under it which have made it a magic cure for billevasion. It is a fixture in Birmingham, for it has been in force since March of 1913. Generally Helpful. Its enactment came about in that year through the Retail Furniture Dealers' association. At the ensuing election it had an able enforcer in Commissioner of Public Safety Arle Barber, who thoroughly believed in it and kept everybody concerned up to the scratch. He found that some of the colored laundresses had a fashion of suddenly changing their addresses Announcement Dr. S. B. Northcross wishes a telephone has been changed.

FORDS FORDS when well stocked with the linen of their clients; that in some districts overdue gas bills gave sufficient cause for families to vacate quarters, and delinquents for rent and for tradesmen's accounts were common in all districts. The telephone company had occasion to compliment the commissioner on the accuracy and completeness of the records in the book of the chief of police, for in one case the company escaped damages for nondelivery of a message, in a suit in which the person addressed had moved, but claimed to be living in his old home at the time of the message. His claim was thrown out of court by the evidence of the chief's records. Furniture dealers who had been behind the original enactment soon found their troubles eased by it, and finally they were almost without bad bills. POLICE ARE BENEFICIAL In time the detective department of the city benefited by the ordinance, for it enabled them to locate undesirables, bootleggers, bond-skippers and the kind of women who scattered themselves over the city after the abolishment of the old red-light district. Once there was a concerted attempt by the transfer warehousehouse to unde the ordinance. They obtained a restraining injunction against its enforcement, and went into court on the issue of constitutionality. The Supreme court ruled that it was both constitutional and reasonable. Minor changes were made in it, not interfering at all with its efficiency, and it is here to stay, with the approval of every reputable interest.

URGES BRITISH EMPIRE RADIO Wireless Commission Advocates Build. ing of Stations in Colonies and in China. London.—The wireless telegraph commission has recommended to the government the construction of sta- tions in England, Canada, Australia, South Africa, India, Egypt, East Afri- ea, Singapore and Hongkong. A year was devoted to study of the question. “The average cost of the stations Is estimated at not more than £160,000, normal value $800,000, but those in England, Egypt, Singapore and Hong- Kong would aggregate about £858,000, or $4,265,000. Recommendation Is made that two wave lengths be fixed for each transmitting station, and that each ceuter be equipped for receiving from several stations in the chain simultaneously, ~ Long Ride on Wheels.

FLOOD BENEFIT TO FARMERS Water Left Fine Silt of Good Earth on Impoverished Lands in ‘Washington. Searo Woolley, Wash.—A fine silt of very fertile earth layer from two to five inches Meep was left on the inundated farm lands when the flooded Skagit river subsided to its regular cbannel. ‘The layer of silt had added great value to the valley lands, aecording to owners. The flood, which was the most extensive known here since the early homestead days, lasted from De- cember 10 until the middie of Janu- ary. ‘The rise of the river was attributed to torrential downpours in the foot- Alls and mountains through which the Skagit flows. ‘The heavy rain washed immense amounts of rich top soll from the hills into the flood and all this material was carried into the valley and deposited. BLINDNESS DECREASES INU. S. Gases Drop From 57,272 in 1910 to 52,617 in 1920, Say Census Figures. Washington, D. C—The number of blind persons in the United States de- ereaned from 57,272 in 1010 to 52,617 in 1020, according to Sgures for the last census announced by the census bureau. ‘The decrease was attributed im part to advanced methods for treat- tment in blindness and also to educs- tion of the public in preventing blind- nee.

Ag which has recently begun to organize, promises xood results, and the Medical So- ciety, composed of the colored physi- cians, dentists and pharmacists. ‘There are two weekly papers, owned and published by members of this group, The Monitor and The New Era, Both papers are clean, well edite? journals and they serve their group with ability and courage. In music, members of this element have been markedly successful. They have several teachers of instrumental music and the violin, a number of successful orchestras, two bands and several capable pianists and vocalists. A ,vowing tendency is also manifest toward better music. This is espee- ially true of the Community Chorus and the larger choirs. As home owners and home buyers the Colored People have made consid- erable progress in recent years. They are now paying taxes on real estate holdings of the value of two and a half millions of dollars; they are en- tering more and more into gainful ‘oecupations; they have well trained doctors, lawyers and dentists; their own skilled artisans, caterers, dress- makers, milliners, and, like the more numerous group among us, beauty and hair culturists. ‘About two thousand five hundred colored children are in the public schools of the city, and several are attending Omaha and Creighton Uni- versities. Contrary to the popular notion, this group has many fine minds, and many of the families live in excellent dwellings and in them cultivate the finer and better things of life. And these, perhaps, give more in service to their fellows than an equal number of any group on earth, They strive, too, to impress the value of being honest, thrifty and industrious, and ‘on the side of law and order and the enforcement of law. They are grate- ful for all that their white friends have done for them throughout the passing years, and those who help them now; and, surely, they may ask, in the light of justice and right, be- cause of what they have done and given in peace and war in the years that are gone, and what they sacri- ficed on the altar of mankind in-the Great War, that they may have a fair opportunity, the right to work and the chance to rise. All of the thoughtful men and women of both races should desire these things. Through under- standing and co-operation we shall at- tain them.

The applicants were presented by Miss M. Marsh, national secretary of New York, and pledged themselves to fulfill the obligations of the society, chief of which are purity in thought, word and deed, un- selfishness and helpfulness of others. Each was then individually admitted by name, after which the girls knelt and repeated the prayer of the Girls’ Friendly Society and the priest gave the blessing. Following the cere- mony, Miss Marsh gave an exception- ally helpful and instructive address onthe aims and purposes of the or- ganization, whose motto is, “Bear ye one another's burdens.” Those admitted as associates were Mesdames William W. Peebles and John Albert Williams; as members, Nathalie May Brown, Emily Elizabeth Allen, Della Louise Howard, Melvs Mary McCaw, Margaret Murray, Mad- line Shipman, Thelma Shipman, Con. stance Belle Singleton and Ernestine Evelyn Singleton; and as candidates Dorothy Allen, Margaret Dickerson and Catherine Williams, ‘The church services will be at the usual hours, holy communion 7:80 4. hh; Church school, 10 a, m.; Holy Eucharist and sermon, “Catholic Not Roman or Papal,” 8 p. m.; eve ning prayer and instruction.

LOYALTY TO COUNTRY In the early morning of a spring day of 1918 healthy, manly colored boys began to assem? ie in Washing- ton Square, New York City. Thou- sands of them were formed in a mil- itary procession and marched up Fifth Avenue amid the cheering of the multitude, The places of business were decorated with the National emblem, and when they reached Mur- ray Hill they were stopped in front of the Union Club, where the Gov- emor of the State desended, _ac- companied by his official retinue and passed to this company of col- ored troops their colors and said to them that they should bring them back with honor. The survivors of this company, some of them having paid the su- preme sacrifice, came back to their country, bringing the colors with honor... They all offered their lives to save the world for democracy and to save the civil and personal free- dom of every man, woman, and child be the United States. In the heart of hearts of these brave colored boys rested the hope that their acts of | bravery would also free them and ‘give them a little higher standing in the community in which they lived. thes had the hope that while they were fighting to make the world safe Hoe oniertee aa saya, eitiate they might also win a little freedom for themselves, “What has been the ‘record? ‘They were honorably dis. charged from the service, and within ‘one year from the time they were dis- charged ten of their number were : —Wm.
