COLORED BOY NAMED BY NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN AS CANDIDATE FOR ANNAPOLIS OMAHA'S COLORED CITIZENRY AND ITS MANY ACTIVITIES Population Numbering Over Thousand Is Contributing to Share Towards Upholding of the Community OUR RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS Second of a Series of Articles on "The Colored People" of Omaha," Written for the Colored Commercial Club (By H. J. Pinkett) (NOTE: This bureau has agreed to contribute a number of articles on the Omaha Colored People under the following subjects: Our Religious Activities; Business Effort; The Professions; Musical Progress; In the Labor Field; Fraternal Societies; In the Schools; Civic Effort; In Politics.) The religious sentiment in the Colored people is very great. It has been so since the dawn of history. It survived the scourges of war and conquest; the curse of the slave trade, two hundred and forty-four years of American Slavery, and since, fifty-seven years of bitter struggle of this people to know and to be. It is with the events during the past fifty odd years this article shall deal. About half a century ago Methodist and Baptist denominations began their work in Omaha. From a small beginning this religious movement has grown until communicants of the colored churches in Omaha number about five thousand souls. There are eighteen churches and ten active denominations. The denominations are: Baptist, Methodist, Episcopalian, Presbyterian, Roman Catholic, Adventist, Peoples Interdenominational, and Church of God and Saints of Christ. The Methodists are divided into three denominations. African Methodist Episcopal, Methodist Episcopal, and Colored Methodist Episcopal. There are two religious societies outside the church, the Y. W. C. A. and the Y. M. C. A. The Baptists in Omaha, as elsewhere in the United States, are the most numerous; the Methodists are second numerically, with smaller and varying numbers among the other denominations. The combined real estate holdings of all of them are in the value of more than a quarter million dollars. In addition to the eighteen pastors of the churches, there are several ordained ministers who belong to the Ministerial Union. And it may be added quite safely here that this body of colored men has more influence in the community with the colored group than any organization in it. It also has more responsibility. It is not alone charged with the work of church organization and religious instruction and preachments, but because of the great influence the individual colored minister has, it helps in a very real way all secular efforts within the group. These church activities have their problems and griefs like other movements among us, but on the whole they meet their problem successfully. The simple fact is that the Colored People have developed much more rapidly in the work of church organization than in any other effort, because no sentiment had to be created in this behalf, which made the work of organization less difficult than in other lines of effort. Of the eighteen churches in Omaha Zion Baptist church has the largest enrollment of members. St. John's A. M. E. Church is second, and in the next class we have Pilgrim Baptist, Bethel Baptist and Pleasant Green Baptist and Grove M. E. churches, Mt. Moriah Baptist and Allen Chapel A. M. E. and the Peoples Interdenominational follow in order in numerical strength. Next in number of communicants would come St. Philip's Episcopal, St. Paul Presbyterian, the C. M. E. church, the Adventist church, St. Benedict's Roman Catholic church, St. Benedict's Roman Catholic church, and the several mission churches which have regular pastors and services. Relatively, the colored churches are used very much more than the churches of white people; they are made community centers in which are held various activities. Among the eighteen ministers of churches six are products of classical and theological schools; the other twelve have had some schooling and have supplied whatever they might have lacked by hard and earnest personal study and work. Some of these latter ones are among the most successful of them all. More and more these ministers are urging the young men who wish to enter the ministry to acquire educations provided in our schools. A few days ago a very successful minister within the group told this story re- THE MONITOR specting a young man who wished to become a minister. "The young man," said the minister, "wished to start to preaching at once; he had been called" to his work and the Lord would supply him with inspired knowledge. I told the young man to go to school for four or five years and prepare himself; that, if the Lord could hold the world together while he fed and prepared for preaching, I would, indeed, be a very weak Lo. And the young man went away to school. One the ministers has served a church in Omaha for thirty years. Another minister has served a church as pastor for twelve years, another eight years, and the others a smaller number of years. More and more these ministers are urging group efforts along constructive lines, and the members of their churches are rallying to this view. They are advising their members to buy homes and improve them and to improve their neighborhoods. They have passed the stage of being mere exhorters; they are becoming community builders. Recently, one of the very thoughtful ministers made this statement: "In the field of religious activity the Negro has done much, but a great deal remains to be done. We need to develop in the young men and women a deeper spiritual devotion and a finer moral sense; our entry into the modern economic struggle in this country has not made for moral progress among us. Here we will have to guard ourselves. First, the minister himself must be guarded and helped, and strengthened, and then the lesson (Continued on Page 2) CANADA RELEASES BULLOCK; IGNORES CAROLINA'S DEMAND That Judge Snyder's Action Is Fully Justified Under Treaty Right Is Admitted by United States Officials. CANADIAN STICKS TO GUNS Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.—The last effort of the authorities of the State of North Carolina, United States, to secure the extradition of Matthew Bullock, a young Negro charged with attempted murder, came to an end here on Friday, March 3rd, when County Judge Snyder ordered Bullock's unconditional release. The colored man escaped from a mop at Norlina, N. C., after the crowd had lynched his brother. Extradition on charge of inciting to riot had previously been refused by the Canadian authorities and the North Carolina officers then based their extradition a request on a charge of attempted murder, alleging that in escaping Bullock had fired on the pursuing mob. The extradition proceedings were fought on the ground that Bullock would not receive a fair trial in North Carolina, with a strong probability that he would be lynched. State Department's Action. Governor Morrison called upon Secretary of State Hughes for assistance in having Matthew Bullock returned to this country, and on February 27, Acting Secretary of State Fletcher authorized publication of his telegraphic reply to Governor Morrison, sent on February 25th, in which the North Carolina official was informed that oral testimony would have to be offered in Canada by the North Carolina officials at the hearing which County Judge Snyder of the Hamilton, Ontario, court, had set for March 3rd. The judge had ruled, when Bullock was rearrested two weeks previously, that witnesses would have to be produced by North Carolina in order to establish a prima facie case against Bullock. Judge Snyder's action followed his announcement made last week that "he was going to stick to his guns," and that, unless North Carolina authorities could produce witnesses before last Friday, the man would be released. State Department Defends Action. According to State Department officials the Canadian authorities were justified by the terms of the extradition treaty between the United States and Great Britain in requiring that a prima facie case of an extraditable offense be made out against Bullock. Acting Secretary Fletcher of the State Department explained the situation to Governor Morrison, saying in part: "It is provided that extradition shall be granted only upon such evidence of criminality as, according to the laws of the place where the fugitive or person so charged shall be found, would justify his apprehension and commitment for trial if the crime or offense had there been committed." A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor MAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 17th, 1922 A NORTH CAROLINA NEWSPAPER TAKES STRONG POSITION The Greensboro News, One of the Most Influential Dailies in the Southland, Turns on the Limelight. DIXONISH TERMS TWADDLE "White Men Must Stand by the Law If They Expect to Hold Up Their Heads Among Other White Men," Declare's Editor. (Associated Negro Press.) Greensboro, N. C., Marin 17.—What is regarded as one of the finest editorial expressions ever written in a plea for law and order, while at the same time upraiding the South for dealing with facts artificially, appeared recently in the Greensboro News, daily, with reference to the Bullock case. This newspaper is one of the most influential publications of the South, and may be regarded as speaking officially, when writing under the headline of "What Lynching Means to the South." The News says: "The Governor will not humiliate the state, he declares, by sending witnesses to testify for it in a petty judicial officer's court in Canada. No danger. That isn't what has humiliated the state. If the state had sent a few Warren county lynchers to the penitentiary, it would probably have been under no obligation to send witnesses to Canada in order to secure the extradition of Bullock. "Let us keep this thing straight. Canada may have been a little over zealous, but she had plenty of reason. We have a reputation of being bloodthirsty murderers down here in North Carolina, and it is our industrious lynchers who have secured that reputation for us. We shall never be regarded as a thoroughly civilized people until we stop this lynching business. It's no use talking in grand iliquent Tom Dixonish terms about what a white man will stand and what a white man won't stand. A white man has got to stand by the law, if he expects to hold up his head among other white men. "All this snorting about the fierce pride of the Anglo-Saxon race is the most disgusting poppycock ever invented. If no Negro were ever lynched for anything but rape, it might have some shadow of excuse. But alleged rapists constitute only a small proportion of the victims of mobs in the south these days. Negroes are lynched for all manner of crimes, ranging down to simple misdemeanors. Matthew Bullock's brother was not lynched for rape, but for shooting at white men. Furthermore as every southern knows, the mobs are not composed of fiercely proud Anglo-Saxons, but usually of the off-sourings of creation—the poorest, morally, of poor white trash, plug-uglies and thugs of every imaginable description, many of them wanted themselves by the police, occasionally under the leadership of some semi-respectable white man of the rattle headed type. The idea that any thoroughly decent citizen took part in any of the four affairs of the sort that disgraced the state last year is absurd. "This sort of riff-raff has no race pride, nor any other sort of pride, it has merely congenital tendency toward disorder, easily inflamed into crazy blood-lust. But it also has votes. Therefore, elected officers, more interested in holding their jobs than in doing their duty, fear it with a ghastly fear, and repudiating their oaths let the mob work its will. That is what lynching means in the South today. There is not one redeeming element, not one word that can be said in its defense. It is our everlasting disgrace, the one foul shame that blots our civilization and as long as we continue to paliate and condone it, it will disgrace us." EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON John Albert Williams, Vicar. The services all day Sunday from the early Eucharist at 7:30 a. m. to Evensong at 8 p. m. were well attended. At 11 o'clock the church was comfortably filled. The pastor delivered the second of the special Lenten sermons on "The Church". Some of the points stressed were that the Church is a Divine organism. The word Church means by derivation the Lord's house, possession or building. The Church is God-given not manmade. God's Church has always been in the world. It existed under the patriarchal dispensation and under the Jewish. The Jewish was local and national, the precursor of the Christian or Holy Catholic Church, which as the extension of the Incarnation, came into being at Jerusalem at Pentecost, A. D. 33, and is inclusive of all mankind. A Divine institution can have no human founder. No man or group of men, however good, could found or establish the Church of the Living God. The Church has well-defined characteristics and credentials. The third sermon in this course will be preached next Sunday morning at 11 o'clock. The services Sunday will be at the usual hours, 7:30, 10 and 11 a. m. and 8 p. m. Public welcome at all services. PUSHING DENTLO While the Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, located at 817 North Sixteenth street, manufacture Dentlo, Rem, Sultox, Kaffir Cream and other products, the company is now making an intensive sales campaign of DENTLO, a pyorrhea preventive tooth-paste, one of the best dentifrices on the market. Everybody who has regard for health and cleanliness knows the importance of using a good tooth paste. Suppose for example all the colored people in Omaha alone, who use tooth-paste would use DENTLO. Can you not see how this race enterprise in which all our people should be interested would grow. It would not be many years before the present plant would have to be enlarged and hundreds of our people would be employed. BUY DENTLO. America's stock of gold has reached a new maximum, $3,680,882,401. Less here and more abroad would be health here and more abroad would be healthier for all. FORMER OMAHA GIRL DIES IN BROOKLYN Mrs. Hugh Lattimore, Only Daughter of E. W. Pryor, Passes Away After Protracted Illness in Eastern Home. BURIAL HERE IN FAMILY LOT Algernon Marie, wife of Hugh Lattimore of Brooklyn, N. Y., and only daughter of Ellsworth W. Pryor of Omaha, died at her residence in Brooklyn Wednesday night, after a protracted illness with tuberculosis. Mrs. Lattimore was born in Omaha, December 14th, 1894, and was reared and educated here and in Washington. D. C. Always rather delicate, after she reached womanhood she spent considerable time for her health with relatives in the east. Four years ago she was married to Hugh Lattimore of a highly-esteemed Brooklyn family at Denver, Col., where Mr. Lattimore was then employed. After a brief residence there they removed to Brooklyn. Mrs. Lattimore's condition was reported as unfavorable since about the first of the year and small hopes were held out for her recovery. The body will be brought to Omaha for burial beside her mother, who died eight years ago, in the family lot at Forest Lawn. The funeral will be held from the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, where Algernon was baptized and confirmed and was a member of the choir before her removal from the city, 10 o'clock Monday morning.

KAFFIR CHEMICAL INVENTS AUTOMATIC FOURTEEN YEAR OLD AFRICAN BOY SHOWS UNUSUAL ABILITY Matumba, Belonging to the Alunta Tribe, Inhabiting Isolated Section of the Dark Continent, Considered Prodigy. SPEAKS SEVEN LANGUAGES Missionary to the Congo Recites Most Interesting Story of the Youth's Helpfulness and Willingness Among Native People New York, March 17.—Negro intellectual possibilities have another example to add to their long list in the person of Mutumbu, a fourteen year old Negro boy of the Alunda tribe in Darkest Africa, according to Miss Marie Jensen, missionary to the Congo under the Board of Foreign Missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, just returned to this country. This boy is a native of one of the most isolated parts of the Dark Continent. His home is at Musumba-wa-Mwata Yamvo (City of The Prince of Death) capital town of the Alunda tribe of the Congo Belge. It is situated more than three hundred miles northwest of the northernmost end of the Cape-to-Cairo railroad at Bukama on the Upper Congo River. And there is no way of traveling thru this territory save by foot or bicycle thru the jungle paths. It requires a month's steady trekking by caravan of native carriers who march with packs of baggage upon their backs, to reach Musumba. At the age of five years, Mutumbu was taken in by Dr. Arthur L. Piper, the new medical missionary at Musamba. Being an orphan, Mutumbu has since resided in the Piper household and the daily contact with the missionaries at the Methodist station—which has since been founded there and is in operation—has developed the mind of Muhumbu far beyond the average child of his years. The little Negro boy did his best to be of service about the new mission station where everyone worked at all kinds of manual labor to establish some form of civilization in that wild land. He alided in the kitchen and garden, ran errands for the workmen building the houses and school building of sundried brick. When the mission station began active work for the good of the people about, Mutumbu had made himself a part of the institution. He attended school and studied assiduously, and worked to learn to aid Nurse Jensen in the dispensary where his people came to have their wounds dressed and their ills healed. Speaks Seven Languages Mutumbu has picked up a variety of learning beside what he gleaned from the yellow folk. He speaks five other native languages Mbundu, Chituba, Swahili, Bichokwe and Kanyok) in addition to his own Alunda) and English. He writes in both the latter languages well. Whenever strange chiefs come to the mission from the far depths of the jungle speaking in a strange tongue which confuses the regular interpreters of the missionaries, someone always says: "Call Mutumbu. He knows." And Mutumbu generally does. He comes and acts as "pinch" interpreter. So well has Mutumbu learned the lore of the gospel as it is taught in the mission station that he is often called upon to lead the services at the little mission church, and he does so with a simple dignity that is quite impressive. When Bishop Johnson, of Africa, visited Musumbu, he made Mutumbu his protege and has done much for him in the gifts of books and other means of self-improvement. Mutumbu WHAT SUBSCRIBERS PAY you into our confidence two we had to raise a substantial to pay a long over-due obligated Delinquent Subscribers to full to send us something on responded, but only a few.

Working with Miss Jensen supervising, Mutumba translated three Bible stories and more than a hundred hymns into the native language. He was of material aid to the ReverenMr. T. R. Brinton, who translated the first three books of the New Testament, and alone he has successfully translated the entire life of Christ. He learned to use a typewriter. When he was given a Bible of his very own, brought to him by Miss Jensen from Bukama, Mutumba was overjoyed. He often reads it to groups of his people of his own age and adults, for he is honored and listened to by all. Wants a Pair of Shoes Since arriving in this country Miss Jensen has received a letter from Mutumba. He wants her to bring him just one thing from civilization, since she can't bring him a modern education in a box. He wants a pair of shoes so that he can walk through the jungle to other villages and teach his people. He tells her that his people have been sick in large numbers, and Dr. Piper treats more than thirteen hundred cases a month. Miss Jensen is trying to take back some other things to Africa. She is studying simple methods of spinning and weaving cotton into cloth. The situation at Nusumba is pittable in the extreme. There is very little money and few things for barter in that wild country. The Negro people only earn about a franc a day, or about 20 cents in normal times, and seven cents are (Crafted on Pages 2).

Inhabitants Fear to Go Out of Dwellings After Seven P. M. Freetown, Sierre Leone, W. Africa, March 17—News received from several surrounding towns indicate that they are guarded by a large numbers of leopards and that the inhabitants fear to leave their dwellings after seven p. m., especially on dark nights. Most of the domestic animals of the natives have already fallen a prey to the beasts and inhabitants of Gloucester, Songo Town and Leicester have appealed to the governor to furnish guns and cartridges to the natives. The laws of these colonies prohibit the natives from possessing guns or cartridges, but in Gloucester the leopards have attempted to clamor at the kitchen doors and play at the latches.

Scrugge, Lawyer, 220 S. 18th St. Doulcas 7612, Colfax 8811—Ady NAMED CANDIDATE FOR UNITED STATES NAVAL ACADEMY Emile Treville Holly, Student in New York City College, Principal Nominee for Entrance to Annapolis Academy, FOUR CANDIDATES NAMED Congressman Ansorge's Position Is That Colored Constituents Are Entitled to Recognition in Making Appointments New York, March 17.—Congressman Martin A. Ansorge has appointed Emile T. Holley, a colored boy, of 102 West 138th street, to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. Holley is named as the principal candidate. No colored boy has ever graduated from Annapolis nor so far as it known has any been named in the past forty years. Congressman Ansorge announced that of the four appointees to Annapolis which he was privileged to make for the 21st Congressional District, it was a matter of simple justice and fair dealing that one should be a colored boy. The other named are Thos. H. Reed, Arthur J. O'Reilly and Vincent Henry. Congressman Ansorge said that his colored appointee was highly recommended to him by prominent people of both races, and he felt sure that he would be a credit to him and the colored race. Emile T. Holley is seventeen years of age, and was born in Alken, S. C. May 23, 1904. When he was two years old his parents moved to New York. Several years later he entered public school 89, at 134th street and Lenox Ave., from which he graduated with honors. While at school he was solo violinist of the orchestra, a member of the track and baseball teams, and prize speaker at the school. Freshman at City College During the latter years of the war he was among the few chosen from his school to assist in the work of the Draft Board located in his district. He is now a freshman at the College of the City of New York. While attending Townsend Harris High School he was on the varsity track and baseball squads and was an officer of his class. He is superintendent of the St. James Presbyterian Sunday School of 67 West 137th street and a member of the Boys' Executive Council of the Y. M. C. A. In peaking of the nomination, Congressman Ansorge said:: "I have tried to live up to the principle of the 'square deal' to all my constituents and on that basis I feel that of the four appointments to Annapolis at my disposal, my colored constituents are entitled to one as a matter of simple justice. The colored boys enlisted or were drafted in the World War, irrespective of race, and if they are good enough to fight for Uncle Sam they are good enough for appointment to Uncle Sam's academies. Three colored boys have already graduated from West Point. Why has there never been a graduate from Annapolis?" DELICATESEN STORE PROVED REAL SALOON "Tomatoes" Was Pass Word for Gin, While "Beans" Brought Real Rye Whiskey. New York City, March 17.—White federal prohibition directors, with blackened faces and hands, bought liquor in the delicatessen store of Lewis Immerman, white, 456 Lennox Avenue, and then raided the place carrying off several truck loads of liquor. Four hundred bottles of gin alone were found, one hundred bottles concealed in a barrel, of dill pickles. The store caters especially to colored trade. The agents found that in order to obtain gin the pass word was "tomatoes," while "beans" brought rye whiskey. When a customer asked for a small can of tomatoes he would receive a small can of tomatoes, together with a half pint of gin for which he was charged two dollars. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH 29th and T.

CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. Citizenship Rights Not to Be Abridged. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILMO PRESS FIRST IN SERVICE OUR PATRONAGE DEMANDS RECOGNITION OUR PEOPLE spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year with North Twenty-fourth street merchants. We pour thousands weekly into the coffers of grocers, dry goods merchants and other business enterprises, and get nothing in return for this enormous trade either in employment or patronage of our racial enterprises. These merchants, for example, will carry large advertisement in white WEEKLY newspapers and not a single inch in our publications. A mushroom sheet can be started by persons of the other group and these merchants will fall over themselves to give them advertisements running up into hundreds of inches, while well-established race publications, which our people read and take pride in, are turned off with such buncombe as "your rate is too high," or "your circulation does not justify our advertising with you," or "what's the use, since we reach our PEOPLE through our advertisements in other mediums," or else begrudgingly given a paltry inch or two. Is this right or fair? These stores who get such a large proportion of our trade should, where they have a reasonably large number of employees, give employment to some of our people, and they should also give our newspapers a just share of their advertising business. The Monitor simply asks its readers this question: Are we going to continue to pour our money into the coffers of these merchants unless they tote fair in matters of employment wherever possible and in advertising in our own established newspapers? Let us wake up and demand something in return for our patronage. Our patronage and trade demand recognition and it is up to us to get it. CONGRESSMAN ANSORGE of New CONGRESSMAN ANSORGE of New York has won the approbation of our people throughout the nation, and we feel quite sure the approval of thousands of broad-minded white Americans also, for his nomination of a colored American youth as a candidate for the Naval Academy at Annapolis. Forming as our people do at least one-tenth of the total population, contributing by direct and indirect taxation to the up-keep of the government, called upon and willingly and cheerfully responding to every demand made upon us in times of war no less than in times of peace, and proving by our loyalty our unquestioned dependability, it is only just that we should be given the opportunity of serving in every department of the government and have representation in the cadetships of our national military and naval institutions. Those of our race, Alexander, Flipper and Young who had the stamina and ability to graduate from West Point, proved from the West point, kind of mettle, nor did they bring reproach upon the army. We are sure that we have men of equal character, attainments and mental demand of Annapolis, including the snubs, snobbery and social ostracism which those of our group must prepare themselves to face, who enter that institution. From all reports the New York nominee, Emile Holley, is a young man of the right type to meet the test and break down the bars and barriers of race-proscription. The Monitor sincerely hopes that no subterfuge or underhanded work upon the part of the authorities will prevent Holley's entrance upon a naval cadetship. But it must not be forgotten that his designation by his congressman does not necessarily mean Holley's admission. He has to take the entrance examination, literary and physical, and with the traditions of the institution, if the authorities so desire they can find a way to keep him out. We hope that Holley will get a square deal all around. Voicing the sentiment of our group in this section of the country, we are grateful NOMINATED FOR naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. to Congressman Ansorge for his action and sincerely wish Emile Holley the success which we believe he will do his level best to merit. GOOD MANNERS THE MONITOR is old-fashioned enough to believe that there is no better passport to success than good manners and politeness. We, therefore, deem it of the utmost importance that our people should set great store upon the cultivation of good manners. In public places, on street cars, and wherever we may go we should show ourselves to be a people of good heart, good character and good intentions by our genteel) and good behavior. We should avoid loud talking, noise and boisterousness. Of course people of good breeding do this; but, there are many of our people who have not had this kind of training and who make themselves conspicuous by their noise. Let us all try to see how considerate and genteel we can be. Above all, let us strive to realize and appreciate the priceless value of good manners.

DAVIS BUYS DRUGS FROM NEGRO DRUGGIST Natchez, Miss.—That there is no "color-line" in drugs is evidenced by the fact that oil of the pharmaceutical supplies purchased by Gov. Harry L. Davis for use of his family at the Executive Mansion are secured from the Community Pharmacy at Long and Lexington avenues, owned and conducted by a competent young Negro druggist, Waldo Tyler. LOS ANGELES NEWS- PAPER OFFICE WRECKED (Associated Negro Press.) (Associated Negro Press.)

Washington, D. C., March 17—Improvement in medical knowledge, particularly in care devoted to infants, reduced the blind population in the United States almost 5,000 in ten years. Census figures for 1920 show the number of blind to be 52,617. Of this number 6,241 are colored. The rate per 100,000 colored people is 60. The rate per 100,000 of white people is 48.3. SHIPS THAT FATTEN SAILORS Modern "Tankers" Are Now Blamed for Added Weight Taken On by the Seamen. Shipping experts continue to argue regarding the advantages of oil fuel over coal. At present the question is occupying the attention of medical men. The adverse effect of oil fuel upon such surfaces as steel, canvas, rope and other shipping accessories are widely known; ships' doctors are now divided on the question as to whether it is harmful or beneficial in its effect upon sailors, a writer in London Tt-Bits states. Sailors on oil-fed vessels are fatter and plumper than those who work on coal-fed ships. Some naval surgeons declare that the fattening effect is produced by the slight fumes exuded by the dormant oil fuel; others ridicule the suggestion, and maintain that the former are fat simply because they have less work to do. "Coaling ship" is one of the finest exercises in the world for reducing superduous flesh. It is hard work that has to be maintained at high speed all day. Ships vie with each other in getting their coal aboard in record time, and even after the operation is finished the sailors still have a few more ounces of avoirdupois to work off in cleaning up the mess below decks. Usually three days are occupied in cleaning a vessel after a bout of "coal ship." On the other hand, oil-fuel ships perform the task in about three hours. Doctors are asking themselves: "Is the fat a healthy fat, or an injurious parasitic growth?" If a hammock is splashed with oil, fuel all, the scrubbing and boiling in the world will not prevent a hole from appearing in it; and if it eats through double-ply canvas, what will oil fuel accomplish in the case of human beings? "Tanker" hands are noticing that after two or three voyages they begin to put on flesh. FAMED FOR ITS MARASCHINO Dalmatian Town of Sebenico Really Has Little Right to Other Claims to Honors. Sebenico vainly boasts of being the Roman colony Sicum, where Claudius quartered his veterans, and so styles itself in public inscriptions and Latin documents. But Sicum stood farther south, near Salona, at a spot still marked by Roman remains. It is to be feared that Sebenico had a sadly ignoble origin, says the Manchester Guardian. The name is said to be derived from a word that means the fort from whence bandits watched the sea for ships which they attacked and plundered. The little Dalmatian pirates' lair remained quite unknown until selected in the early Middle ages by Croatian kings for their favorite residence. Apart from possession of a picturesque land-locked harbor, the only cathedral in the world built entirely of stone and metal, and the ancestral house of the Orsini, Sebenico has few claims to distinction. However, by some people Sebenico will always be held in high honor for being the place where they make maraschino, an insidious liquor distilled from small black cherries. The Wrong Saint. Childhood's propensity for getting names mixed was well illustrated a Sunday morning or two ago when little Richard, on the way to Sunday school with his mother and sister, met another little boy afflicted with St. Vitus' dance. Richard was deeply impressed by the incident and asked his mother what was the matter with the little boy. "Poor child," the sympathetic mother replied. "He has St. Vitus's dance." Back at home, Richard rushed in to tell his father of the incidents of the morning and closed with the remark: "And—and—and we saw a poor little boy who jerked all over. He had the Ritchomb Riley." Only Fat Girls in His Office. "I have found one employer whose 'bug' in hiring folks for his office is worse than the idea against bobbed heads and short skirts," lamented a young woman who was weary with hunting work. "And what's that?" "He won't hire any one—male or female—unless he has a fat, healthy, well-fed, well-cared-for look. I was talking to the girl who lets applicants in to see the boss. She was real sweet and kind and she told me I might as well not go in. I asked her why, and she confided to me that I was too pale, too delicate looking. This girl thinks it is just because he is known as an old tighthead and is selfish, and he doesn't want it said of him that even his office people pinched and pale and ill-treated."—New York Sun. A Day Dream. "That was a smooth stock salesman in here just now." "He was, indeed," said Mr. Dubwaite. "He hadn't been talking five minutes before I saw myself stepping briskly into a bank to deposit a few hundred thousand dollars, then strolling around to my tailor to order a whiter outfit of a dozen suits and making an engagement with a friend of mine in the motor business to look at the fall styles in limousines. "What happened next?" "Oh, I woke up, glancing hastily about to see if I was still sitting in the little old office and wished him 'good morning.'"—Birmingham Age-Herald.

THE MONITOR (Continued from Page One) must be taught to others." The Y. W. C. A., now a year old, is serving a large number of persons, and as time goes on and the work of organization is extended, its usefulness will grow. It faces the same problems that confront all new efforts in this very difficult fled and must meet them with wisdom and tacq and in a spirit of cooperation. The Y. M. C. A. is just now in the process of organization. Its committees are all complete and active and a paid secretary is on the ground organizing civilities. It has a tremendous task before it and it will have to be content with gradual progress. The foregoing is only a general statement of religious activity among the colored people. It has sought to point out the activities of the group rather than the activities of any individual of the group. It seems altogether proper to say in closing this brief article that the church which serves our group has been a religious and constructive success. It is destined to be even more than it has been. DRAMATIC READER Ada Belle Griffin of Worcester, Mass., who has won an enviable reputation in the east as a dramatic reader and impersonator, will be heard in Omaha for the first time Tuesday evening, April 18, at Grove M.

It is only the filmsiest kind of material, lasting but a short time. Miss Jensen believes that if she can procure a few hand looms and spinning wheels she can teach her young Negro women converts to make cotton into cloth for the benefit of the great mass of unclothed people. In this way she hopes to start the industry of cloth-making, thus providing a means of raising the economic standard of the Christian natives, providing them with a means of honest livelihood. Many of the Negro Christians at Nusumba station are ashamed to come to church because they have no clothes save a few skins of goats or wild animals. Miss Jensen has been studying the methods employed at Hampton Institute in expectation of adapting them to the mission school and industrial training center destined to grow up at Nusumba about the mission station.

Prettyman, Jr., official coffee taster of the Paxton-Gallagher Co., is seen at his "desk." Mr. Prettyman's work consists of selecting various samples of coffee for their aroma, strength, mildness and flavor. He is the blender. All day he tastes different samples and recommends the purchase or refusal of the offerings of the world's largest importers. A steaming tea kettle boils all day in his office. On a large, round table are dozens of cups, each with a spoon in it. A delicate scale completes the equipment. Cup after cup he brews all day long, each made with a sample from a known blend. By his delicate taste he determines which of the hundreds of samples submitted from the great coffee-growing plantations he shall buy. Besides buying the coffee, he has to blend it. His largest single purchase was 25 carloads. Sometimes the company has 100 cars en route at one time. Five Big Roasters. Five big roasters are in operation daily. These roasters bring the coffee directly in contact with the flame and bat it about with great paddles until it reaches the exact temperature of roasting.

Hot pack treatment with Sultox and internal doses of Sultox is a speedy and effective remedy for colds, congestion of the lungs and similar maladies so prevalent at this time. Ask your druggist for Sultox, if he cannot supply, phone Douglas 7074 or call at or write Kaffir Chemical Laboratories, 817 North Sixteenth street, Omaha, Neb. Large bottle, $1.00.

A man, so to speak, who is not able to bow to his own conscience every morning is hardly in a condition to respectfully salute the world at any other time of the day.—Douglas Jerrold. The Astrologer in China. From the earliest times astrology has been one of the arts surrounded by mystery. But in China it is a very perilous profession. When a so-called prophet predicts an event which does not occur, he loses his head. BUSINESS OFFICES FOR RENT Several desirable business offices for rent, singles or in suites of two and three.
