BOYS MAKE A FINE SHOWING Galloway and Thomas of Central High Winner of the Meet, Divide Honors With Price of Technical High. Last Friday afternoon Ak-Sar-Ben field was the scene of one of the most brilliant track and field meets which lovers of sport have witnessed here-about. It was the annual meet of the husky athletes from Central, Technical, South* and Benson high schools. The day was ideal and a crowd of enthusiastic rooters, estimated at 6,000, cheered the contestants. Central High emerged as the big winner in the meet, securing a total of $60\frac{1}{2}$, out of a possible 113, with Technical second with $34\frac{1}{2}$ points; South third with 13 and Benson last PRICE, TECH'S STAR Who Lowered Two State Records. with 5. Three state records were broken in this meet, one tied and two dangerously threatened. It is a fact worth noting that colored athletes scored heavily. Price of Tech lowered the state record in the 410-yard dash by two and four-fifths seconds, and tied with Beerkle, the fleet-footed white star of Central in lowering the state record in the 220-yard dash by one-tenth of a second. Galloway of Central was a close second to Beerkle, whom he vows he will beat next year, in the 100-yard dash and did fleet work in one-mile relay race, won by Central. Thomas won the gold medal in the discus throw. Beerkle was the highest individual scorer making nineteen points. This Central athlete won first in the 100, the low hurdles, the high hurdles and tied for first in the 220. Price of Technical was second with fourteen points. This fleet-footed trackster won the 440 and the half-mile events and tied for the honors in the 220. The most remarkable event was Price's winning of the 440-yard dash in 49 and 3-5 seconds and the 220-yard dash was one of the best races of the day. Price and Beerkle struggled for a lead throughout with Price holding a slight advantage until the end. It was a pretty and exciting race. The Central relay team, composed of Beerkle, Galloway, Sautter and Maritsas clipped off the half in one minute, 36 and three-fifths seconds, lowering the record of 1911. Beerkle in the 100-yard dash tied the state record. Martin Thomas hurled the discus 162 feet and 4 inches, being several feet in advance of his nearest competitor. SERVANTS REMEMBERED BY HENY WATTERSON Journalist Wills Cash to Members of Wilson Family—Leaves Brave Words to Entire Country. Louisville, Ky., May 11.—Col. Henry Watterson, great journalist, left an estate of $228,000, according to his will, which has been probated. Little was given outside of the family, but he did remember the Colored help in this wise: $2,000 to James Wilson; $1,000 to Henry Watterson Wilson and $500 to Victor Wilson. But to the entire country, white and black alike he left these brave words: "There is nothing I want for me and my family, I am not willing to accord to the Negro and his family." There is the solution of the Negro question in a nutshell. EXTENDS SYMPATHY Our sympathy is extended to W. W.

BULLOCK FEARING THE KLUXIES FLEES FROM CANADA Has Sought Refuge in Foreign Country Which Is Known Only to Relatives. Hamilton, Onatrio, Canada, May 11.—Matthew Bullock has left his job at the Union Railway Station and sought refuge on another continent his close friends declared this week. Belief of rumors that members of the Ku Klux Klan had pledged themselves to kidnap him and take him back to Norlina, N. C., to face charges of murder and inciting riot led Bullock to leave here. Bullock evaded extradition to Norlina on two occasions, and then the vague rumors of Ku Klux Klan interest in his case reached him. The Rev. J. D. Howell, who led the campaigns for funds to fight Bullock's extradition, said these rumors had worried Bullock a great deal. He added today he had received word from Bullock of his safe arrival at the haven of refuge. Mr. Howell refused to reveal Bullock's place of refuge. Funds for his journey, it was reported, were supplied from the defense chest, to which thousands of members of both races contributed. THE ROYAL CIRLCLE MAKES CLASS OF 198 CANDIDATES. CAMPAIGN EXTENDED On last Wednesday night at St. John's Church Supreme Supervisor A. L. Richmond of The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of The World, obligated a class of candidates consisting of 198, which brings the membership of The Royal Circle in Omaha to over 400 members in two months. This class was the largest ever obligated in this city at one time by any fraternity. By request of members as well as numbers of citizens the campaign has been extended to May 29th, 1922, on which night at 8 p. m. at Pilgrims Baptist church on 25th and Hamilton streets, another class of candidates will be obligated. The campaign joining fee is $3.50 without a doctor's certificate if candidate is in good health. The regular joining fee of $5 with a doctor's certificate will go into effect after this meeting. The Royal Circle now has SEVEN Local Circles in this city, and by the next class is expected to have TEN or more local bodies. The Royal Circle was endorsed unanimously by the Ministerial Alliance of the city on its last meeting, as several ministers of the Alliance have been members for a number of years in other cities; among them Rev. H. R. McMillan who passed away last week, having been a member of the Royal Circle for fifteen years, and to whom much of the credit for the success of the order in this city is given, as he did all he could to put the order before the people because he knew that it was doing more for our race than any other order. The local members take this opportunity of expressing their regret at losing such a stanch supporter and friend. The Royal Circle pays to its members $7.00 per week for sickness or accident, $150.00 at death, erects a monument at the grave of each deceased member, gives them the advantages of a charity and loan department, Old Folks Home, School and Home for Orphans of the members, free hospital treatment, medical and surgical attention, room, nurse and board. After a membership of 90 days policy may be increased as high as $1,000. Monthly dues $1.25 and NO TAXES. For information in regard to the Order call Supervisor A. L.

INTERPRETS MASTERPIECES Her Delineation of Great Dramatist's Leading Characters Sympathetic Artistic, Natural and Pleasing. (By Sarah B. H. Canty) Handsomely and faultlessly gowned in a beautiful and becoming clinging creation of black sequence over net with crimson corsage, and just a trifle stouter than when she was a resident of Omaha, Madame P. Earline Osborne, now of Kansas City, Mo., made a striking picture as she appeared before a large audience in St. John's A. M.

Madame Osborne's first number was the well-known quarrel scene between Brutus and Cassius from Julius Caesar. Her interpretation of these strikingly contrasting characters was excellent. The next number was the court scene in The Merchant of Venice. In this Shylock's varying emotions and Portia's plea for mercy were admirably yportrayed! But it was in her closing numbers from Macbeth, Macbeth's Decision and the Murder scene, that the reader most fully demonstrated her histrionic ability. While her whole program was good it was in this that she was at her best. Madame Osborne shows that to her natural love of dramatic reading she has added hard work and diligent study which pave the pathway to success in any calling. Madame Osborne was gratefully introduced by Mrs. James G. Jewell and was assisted by a well chosen array of local talent, of whom made a substantial contribution to a well-arranged program.

Kansas City, Mo., May 11. If anybody sees James Manuel destitute and friendless walking around the streets tell him he is worth $2,000,000, even though he doesn't know it. When he left Tampico, Mexico, years ago, he thought a strip of land he owner there was valueless. Now, according to a letter received by R. A. Kope, lawyer, 433 Lee building, Manuel's property is in the heart of the greatest oil district in the world. It is worth $2,250,000, according to a letter received by Kope from Joe Espino, a former friend of Manuel who is seeking the immigrant, in the hope that he may claim the fortune due him. Espino has lost trace of his former friend. The last time he heard from him, Manuel was living in Kansas City. Espino has forgotten the address. Kope is seeking the millionaire, in order that he may close details through which the fortune can be secured. MASSACHUSETTS CITIZENS TO PETITION LODGE FOR ACTION ON DYER BILL On Grant Centennary Night Ask Republican Leader of Senate to Make a Party Measure of Bill Promised in Platform. Boston, Mass., May 11, 1922.—From the rostrum of historic Charles Street A. M. E. church on the Centennary Night of the birth of Ulysses S. Grant, commander and president-friend of the Colored race and executor of the Constitution, April 27, 122, the Greater Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights league launched a movement to promote a signed petition to U. S. Senator H. C. Lodge of Massachusetts in his capacity as republican leader of the senate to have the republican party espouse the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill, and thus secure action and get the bill out of committee. Congressman Dyer in a recent speech to the Boston N. A. A. C. P. had declared the Colored people could do more for passage of the bill than those of any other state, because the senate leader is from Massachusetts and comes up for re-election this year. He repeated this to the national secretary of the league and Mr. Trotter framed the petition which is being circulated for signatures all over the state. The League's resolve for the Dyer bill in the Massachusetts legislature brought a strong editorial for the bill in the Boston American and all the Hearst newspapers. This resolve is for final action on Wednesday and will also spur Lodge to action. AUDREY TRUEHEART NOW LEADS, IN CONT Who will win in the popularity contest? That depends.

GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 356 OMAHA'S COLORED CITIZENS ACTIVE IN FIELD OF LABOR Descendants of Builders of Pryamids and Skilled Artificers in Brass and Iron and Wood and Stone Coming Into Their Own MANY TRADES REPRESENTE Total Number of Our Local Group Who Are Engaged in Gainful Occupations is 5,469 - Fifth Article (By H. J. Pinkett) The Cheops of the Pyramids, the Alexandrian Library, the Walls and Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the cities that flourished in antiquity; the ships that carried the commerce of the ancient world; the products of gold, copper, brass, marble, stone and wood, were made possible by the skill and the labor of black hands. Up to the middle of the twelfth century, black craftsmans equalled in skill any workmen in the world. At that time the African slave trade interfered, and the revival of the work by black men was not conspicuous until long after the establishment of chatel slavery in America. During this time, however, in the center of Africa there has been going on, in a small way, the manufacture of steel of a very fine quality, and much work in the other crafts, and recently some building. In America, as early as 1630, colored men in small numbers were engaged in blacksmithing, painting and stone and brick masonry. Later, wheelwrights, coopers, carpenters, cabinet makers, sheoemakers, tanners, ginners, distillers, cigar makers, tailors, barbers, gardeners, firemen, stationary engineers, hostlers and teamsters were developed in large numbers. These men and women were products of the system of apprenticeships of the period. It was the policy of the Slave Oligarchy to train colored men, for the most part, in these trades and occupations. The result was that during the latter years of chattel slavery eighty per cent of the work in the skilled trades in the south was performed by the colored people. They had, too, at this period in the south, colored foremen on many of the large plantations and colored women who were the housekeepers. In thousands of homes among the wealthy slave owners, these colored men and women were in complete charge. All servants in the house or its appurtenances were subject to their orders. Coachmen and footmen constituted another class in what they then called preferred occupations. And there was still a more favored class called "Body Servants" for the male members of the aristocracy, and maids for the female members. The slave oligarchy was composed of two hundred thousand persons who actually owned slaves. They owned the land and its tillers. This, let us say, was in 1850. Cotton was KING. It was the cornerstone of national wealth. The slave owners of the south produced the cotton, the raw material, and New England with "free" labor manufactured clothing and other materials out of it. Thus the wealth of the north and the south depended upon cotton, and cotton was produced by the labor of black hands. The non-slave holding whites of the south were outside the pate of the oligarchy and a much lower value was placed upon them than was placed upon the slaves. The three classes were catalogued as follows; Aristocrats, Slaves and "Poor White Trash." The bitterness engendered by this system explains many things which have happened in the south since slavery was shot to death in the War of the Rebellion. The things that are happening now are but other phases of an economic problem. Slavery at least did this: It restored to black hands the skilled trades which they had not used for six centuries, and enabled them, under slavery, to do more than half the work done in these trades during the whole period of slavery in the south. Since slavery was abolished about eighty per cent of the work in the skilled trades have been performed by colored men, in the south. The percentage has decreased in the south in recent years because of the rise of trade unionism which denied apprenticeships to colored men in the various skilled trades. Trade schools, however, developed through this necessity, have in some measure supplied this need, and in the south, and since the war demand, in the north, there has been a noticeable increase in numbers in the skilled trades.

MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED MILITARY FREEDOM FIRST IN SERVICE A REMARKABLE PETITION A REMARKABLE PETITION A remarkable petition was presented to the Senate last week by Senator or Lodge of Massachusetts. It was the petition prepared by the N. A. A. C. P., bearing the signatures of 300 prominent Americans, asking the Senate to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynch Bill. The petition bears the signatures of 24 State Governors, 38 mayors of large cities, 3 Roman Catholic archbishops, 85 of the most prominent ecclesiastics of the leading communions in the United States, several presidents of leading colleges and universities, foremost editors, lawyers and business men. It is gratifying to note that among those asking for the enactment of the Dyer Bill in the Senate are Governor McKelvie of Nebraska, Mayor James C. Dahlman of Omaha, and the Rev. Dr. Edwin Hart Jenks. The fact that men and women of the character, influence, sanity and poise of the signers of this petition have thrown their weight on the side of this measure augurs favorably for its passage. Moreover Senator Borah, whom many believed would be unfavorable, has announced that his committee will recommend its passage. While the bill has foes in the Senate, chiefly from the South, which in our judgment will be vitally helped by its passage, its friends are many and powerful, and The Monitor believes that the Senate will follow in the footsteps of the House. ATHLETICS THE Monitor notes with pride the splendid showing athletes of our group are making throughout the country, not only when competing with one another, but with those of the dominant group, which is the general custom in every section of the nation, except the South. True sportsmanship is that which bars no competitor on the ground of race, color or nationality. Athletic sports make not only for strong bodies, but also clean bodies, physically and morally. Athletics are therefore to be encouraged and our boys and girls should be advised to enter into them with spirit and zest. Athletics holds an important place in Nebraska's educational system. Inter-class and inter-scholastic competition in athletic events is keen. In these events all pupils have the privilege of sharing. The requirements for all are alike, namely, physical fitness. This makes for true democracy. In Omaha school athletics colored youths have always made good. In the recent high school field meet in which state records were lowered honors were won for their respective schools by colored athletes. Technical High is proud of Price, as Central is of Thomas and Galloway. Athletics trains to strive for the mastery and he who strives for the mastery on the athletic field is thereby being trained to strive for it in his chosen avocation. KEEPING UP THE NEIGHBORHOOD ALL our citizens should take special pride, whether they are tenants or owners, in keeping up the appearance of the neighborhood in which they live.

ONLY WAY TO WIN RIGHTS It is a long hard trail that Emilie Treville Holley is hitting. Holley is the Harlem Negro whom Representative Martin C. Ansorge has nominated to be a midshipman at Annapolis. His fellows will ostracize him—that the young snobs who will be his fellow-cadets have already made abundantly plain. His superiors will snub him. There is talk of "unwritten laws and customs of the naval service which make life therein unbearable to anyone who for any reason may be regarded as personally objectionable," and recollection of the hell which was created for the Negro cadets who braved Annapolis in the 70's, to whom no other cadet ever spoke except when official duty required it. There are many who urge Holley, "in his own interests," to stand down. If he has the courage and the conviction to pass, the ordeal we hope that in the interest of his race he will see it through. Annapolis, after all, belongs not to the cadets but to the nation of which ten million men and women of dark skins are citizens, and those men and women will never win the rights which are theirs' until pioneers face just such trials as confront Holley.—The Nation.

The waiter is William Taylor Johnson. For more than 20 years he has has had charge of the cafe club car on the train between Chicago and the Twin Cities. It was the two days that he is forced to spend every week in Minneapolis that gave Johnston his first idea for high finance. He bought a 36-acre farm at Anoka, Minn., 20 miles north of Minneapolis. Here he raises hogs, turkeys, chickens, corn, potatoes, and never has known a crop failure. He has studied scientific farming with thoroughness and has installed the latest methods on his farm. The Bell Apartment Hotel A "MAN TO MAN"—Shown at the New Diamond Theatre, Lake St., below 24th. OMAHA'S COLORED (Continued from Page 1.) Pa., and the shipyards at Newport News, Va., many skilled and unskilled colored men have been employed. They are largely employed in the mines, railroad shops and on railroads in grades as high as firemen and hostlers in railroad yards. Birmingham, Ala., has many skilled men in the steel and iron industry. Post office employees are very numerous all over the south, and in some places in the north. In Omaha, in this field, the colored people average well up with other communities similarly situated. The total number of our graup engaged in gainful occupations in normal times, the present is below normal), is 5,469, distributed as follows: Stenographers, 10; hairdressers, 75; seamstresses, 6; dressmakers, 6; milliners, 2; stationery engineers, 15; electricians, 3; trained nurses, 2; clerks and carriers, 18; carpenters, 12; painters, 8; paper hangers, 7; brick and stone masons, 8; automobile mechanics, 7; paving bricklayers, 6; asphalt finishers, 5; butchers, 20; trimmers, 12; barbers, 35; masseurs, 4; sign painters, 1; iron moulders, 2; chauffeurs, 50; manicurists, 15; porters, waiters and cooks in hotels, clubs and on railroads, 380; paving workers, 100; railroad shop workers, 150; smelter, 200; factory employees, 100; railroad grading laborers, 200; packing house workers, 2500; miscellaneous, about 1500; truck gardeners, 5; dairymen, 1; grading and railroad contracting, 1; and plumbers, 3. These workers, in normal times, receive an annual wage or return from their labor, of about $7,000,000, all of which is spent here in Omaha. Nearly six millions of this sum are spent for bare necessities of life for the maintenance of the colored people; some of it is saved through the purchase of homes and furniture and some of it is saved in other ways and through business investments. Of the six millions which are spent for necessities of life—food, clothing and recreation—our group gets back in wages or otherwise from its expenditure not to exceed two per cent, whereas our group should be spending sixty per cent of this sum with itself. That figure is conservative. Much of the difficulty, however will be overcome as we organize these elements and eliminate the handicaps of individual leadership. Our group will have to learn what all other groups learned long ago, that we will have to pool our strength and act through organization. Just now we are trying to find out what we have to organize; when this is done, and it is being done in some measure, progress will be certain. This last task is difficult, but it will be done. It has been suggested here what has been accomplished in the field of labor in certain respects. Omaha, as the record shows, is doing well; when all her strength is mustered and organized, she will do better. All honest work and labor are honorable. Land and labor are the two primary sources of all wealth. Without work there can neither be wealth, nor comfort, nor happiness in the world. It is good alike for the body and the soul. All men and women cannot, in the very nature of things, do the same kind of work, but each person can do his best at his task. That is all anyone can righfully ask of him. In the present state of the world all of us must work to restore what was wasted by war. Out of this will come the great victory of peace. It can only come now, and in the coming years, IN THE FIELD OF LABOR. McLENDON GETS PLUM New York, N.

THE MONITOR WEST POINT HAS HAD ONLY THREE COLORED GRADUATES TO DATE Young Was Last to Leave Military School More Than Two Score Years Ago. Others, Alexander and Flipper. New York City, April 6—"Why not a Colored Cadet at West Point?" Since the naming of a candidate for cadetship at the naval academy at Annapolis, the question of a Colored cadet at West Point has come again to the front. There have been three colored graduates from West Point, Alexander, Flipper and Young, the latter being the last more than two score years ago. Colored Americans are expected to do, and always have done, their duty in wars in which the United States has been engaged, and it is regarded as a matter of great importance that the time has come when some member of Congress should have the courage to name a Colored boy as cadet to West Point. "COLORED MAN NAMED POSTMASTER-GENERAL" This is the Way One Newspaper Chronicled Appointment of Dr. Hubert Work Washington, April 27—Dr. Hubert Work, white, who succeeded Will H. Hays, white, as Postmaster-General, received generous newspaper notice at the time of his appointment. One newspaper editor wrote under his cut, "Colorado Man Appointed Postmaster-General." When it appeared, it read: "Colored Man Appointed Postmaster-General." Dr. Work is keeping this as a souvenir, but is not expressing an opinion as to what would happen if a colored man were named for the highest position in the postal service.

BRITISH ARISTOCRAT A GIANT Cousin of Lord Lascelles Nearly Seven Feet in Height and Strong in Proportion. Had Brian Pliers Lascelles lived to attend the wedding of his second cousin and close friend Lord Lascelles to Princess Mary in Westminster abbey, he would undoubtedly have distracted attention from the bridegroom and the royal bride. Brian Lascelles was a giant and the coffin in which he was laid to rest a short time ago in the family mausoleum of the Lascelles measured nine feet in length. For Brian Lascelles stood six feet eleven inches in his stockings and was generally known as "the Magdalene Giant," by reason of the attention which he attracted at Oxford while completing his education at Magdalene college. Indeed, in his undergraduate days he used to be included among sights of the university. Brian Lascelles graduated with honors and, with a taste for natural science and research, he eventually became professor of science at Harrow, and librarian of the college as well as the curator of its museum. His strength was in keeping with his size and his jaws might almost be described as having been of iron. He gave a curious illustration of this on one occasion. Much interested in archaeological research he had special theories as to how flint arrow heads had been made, and attending an archaeological meeting one day, he produced from his pocket a partly shaped arrow head of glass. He related that on his way to the meeting he had picked up a piece of a broken bottle and that he had shaped it with his teeth as he came along. He then went on to complete the work by crunching off several successive pieces of the glass with his teeth until he had succeeded in elaborating a well-shaped arrow head. He had a keen sense of humor and a great stock of anecdotes about the difficulties which he encountered, especially when traveling abroad, in consequence of his height. Had he lived until the end of last February he would assuredly have been, as a near relative of the bridegroom, one of the most conspicuous figures at the wedding in Westminster abbey of Princess Mary. Equipment "Rastus, I see gwine get rich. I'd done bought me some stock in a nut factory." "A which kind of factory?" "A nut factory, which sells de meat of pecans, almonds and sich already cracked an' picked out. This heath company gwine save money with a new labo' savin' device which de promotah done tole me about. De nuts am gwine be cracked by trained squirrels which don't charge no wages." "Is dis heath company already licensed, established an' ready fo' blizness?" "Yeah, prakitkally' all 'cept trainin' de squirrels."-Life Mother's Knowledge Limited. Helen was at her first party. When refreshments were served, she refused a second helping of ice cream with a polite "No, thank you," although she looked wistful. "Do have some more, dear," the hostess urged. "Mother told me I must say 'No, thank you,'" the little girl explained, "but I don't believe she knew how small the dishes were going to be." Why He Lost Her My first love affair happened when I was only in the second grade. There were two good-looking boys in the same class who liked me and whom I liked. But, of course, I liked one better. One day the boys went home and said to his mother: "I want to keep my ears clean or Paul will get my girl." Of course every one in town heard about it and I decided I liked Paul the best—Chicago Journal. The Empty Bin and Bowl. The Ukraine, which has been known as the sugar bowl and flour bin of Europe, is pretty nearly empty and it is a question whether the country has enough to keep its own people until the next harvest. The wheat crop last year was hard hit by reason of the absence of the snows which allowed the seed to be frozen in the ground for lack of protection granted by the mantle of snow. Propriety.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met at Mt. Moriah Baptist church last Sunday. Mr. J. R. Garrett accepted the vice-presidency to fill the unexpired term of Milton L. Hunter, resigned. The president urged each chairman to double their efforts in the next few months and let us help to put the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill across. He stated that unless the bill passed this congress it would probably be years before such a bill would be introduced again. Mr. J. W. Alexander spoke of the need of another U. S. Grant to break up the Ku Klux Klan. He said there had only been one and he was fearless and fought them with their own weapons. Quite a bit of criticism was made of President Harding and his inactivity insofar as our group was concerned, and all indications are that the Negro is fast learning that he owes no fealty to the Republican party. The next meeting of the branch will be held at Freestone Baptist church, 26th street between Caldwell and Hamilton streets. HARDING TURNS DOWN WIBECAN Brooklyn, N. Y., May 11.—George E.

William McFee wrote to the Fruit Dispatch, the magazine of the United Fruit company, on one of whose "Great White Fleet" he swears as chief engineer, that he has recently visited a community in which money is so valuable that it will not buy a fig or a piece of cheese. At Megalovahi, a little Greek city built on a mountainside so steep that each citizen plants his garden on his neighbor's roof, trade is conducted by barter. In the market place cheese, figs, raisins, hens, geese and goats are transmuted into one another without the aid of coin or scrip. Mr. McFee wished to buy a basket of fine figs and a bottle of wine and having no change, drew from his pocket a five-ruble gold piece. He instantly found himself an object of suspicion. The owner of the figs and wine expressed in vigorous pantomine her fixed refusal, nor would any of the neighbors consider the money. The interpreter who came to McFee's assistance looked grave and said the only thing to do was to take figs and wine without giving anything save a promise. "What shall I promise?" asked McFee. Money, of course, was no use. But it would be a fair exchange if he were to promise, next time he came, to give the lady a small piece of soap. McFee promised and later sent Marianna a whole box of soap.—From the Book Leaf. Sparkling Gems. The humourist contributor looked in upon the editor of Answers upon his busy day. The humourist contributor should not have looked in upon the editor of Answers on his busy day. The editor of Answers can't feel humorous and busy at the same time. What was more, the humorist contributor would not go. At last the editor of Answers decided to stop being busy for one moment and be sarcastic. "That was a gem, that joke you sent me" he said to his usual dry tone. "Sir," he said, "you flatter me!" "Not at all," replied the editor. "You should have seen it sparkle when I put it on the fire!" —Answers. Well! Well! Mollie is six years old and has just started lessons. The other day she was seen to throw her new doll down the well, which the gardener had inadvertently left uncovered. When her father came home he was told of the occurrence. "So you have thrown your new dolly down the well, Molly?" he remarked. "Why, Miss Young told me that the world turns round every day, and when it turns over tomorrow dolly will drop out." Prepared for Death The suburban lady heard an airplane whizzing overhead. She called Cottie, the colored maid, to see it. "Has you all ever been up in one of those contraptions, ma'am?" The suburban lady said "No," and in turn asked Cottie if she wouldn't enjoy a ride in one. "No, siree, ma'am," she answered "Seems like when I went up that high I'd like to be ready to jes keep right on going up." Why Not? The human fly was scaling the outside of the tall building at a dizzy height and an anxious throng watched in the street. "Well," asked the old party, "why darned the darned fool take an elevator?"

Man takes many trips on the face of the globe; it might be well for him to soar beyond the clouds to observe the time table and routes of the spheres and note the relation of his earth to the celestial scheme of things. When a mighty storm sweeps over the ocean, when a great war devastates a continent, when a Katmaf blows off her head, when an earthquake destroys a populous city, men stand overwhelmed and awed at the spectacle. But how little and insignificant are such forces, measured by the majestic might of the earth as it sweeps on its course around the sun! An eminent physicist has estimated that the power developed by a million Niagaras in a million years would not equal the energy expended by the earth in a single second as it circles round the sun. And yet so perfect is the mechanism that, flying around its axis at an equatorial speed of more than 1,000 miles an hour, and around its orbit at more than 1,100 miles a minute, all the mundane influences of which astronomers know could not change the length of its day as much as a second in 100,000 years. But as soon as one looks out into space with the eye of the astronomer, there comes the discovery that in all its seeming greatness the earth is so small that even a telescope 10,000 times as powerful as the strongest instrument now in existence would not reveal it to an astronomer or any fixed star. Compared with the sun, our planet's insignificance becomes evident. More than 1,300,000 spheres like ours would be needed to make a bulk equal to that of a single sun. Herschel's Picture of Solar System. Perhaps our most graphic picture of the solar system is given by Herschel. Imagine a circular field two and a half miles in diameter; place a library globe two feet in diameter in the very center, 82 feet away put a mustard sided. The globe will represent the sun and the mustard seed Mercury. At a distance of 142 feet place a pea, and another at 215 feet. These will represent Venus and the earth, both as to size and distance. A rather large pinhead at a distance of 427 feet will speak for Mars, and a fair-sized tangerine a quarter of a mile distant will stand for Jupiter. A small lemon at two-fifths of a mile will play the role of Saturn, a large cherry tree three-fourths of a mile will answer for Uranus, and a fair-sized plum at the very edge of the field will proclaim Neptune. Whether studied as the head of the planetary family to which the earth belongs, or whether as an average member of the great household of suns that dwell in the distant skies, Old Sol has many thrills for the student. To the inhabitants of the earth the fact that he shines is the most important physical consideration in life. From him we derive warmth, light and power; without him the oceans and even the air itself would freeze; and, of course, under such conditions, life would be impossible. While the stars appear to us about as much like the sun as the fireflies of a summer night, yet the patient investigations of astronomers show not only that the sun is a star, but that it is by no means either the largest or brightest of the celestial family. Assured that it is a star and knowing that the next nearest one is 300,000 times as far away, astronomers addressed themselves to the task of learning about the other stars by studying our own. They found that there are some like it, giving out the same kind of light, though most of them send us, through the spectrum, messages that tell quite different stories. When we consider the solar system—with its great sun, its eight planets and their 27 moons, and its 800 asteroids—as occupying an area whose diameter is nearly 6,000,000,000 miles (some 6,000,000 times as far as from New York to Chicago), it is amazing to think that there may be millions of other solar systems as large or larger than our own, comparatively close to us as star distances go, though so remote that their planets could not be seen by the astronomers of the earth. even with telescopes as much more powerful than the biggest ones now in use as the latter are stronger than the naked eye. So careful an astronomer as Agnes M. Clarke tells us that a skiff in a vast, unfurrowed ocean could not be more utterly alone than is our solar system in its little corner of the universe. She continues: "Yet the sun is no isolated body. To each individual of the unnumbered stars strewing the firmament, down to the faintest speck of light, it stands in some kind of relationship." Spectroscopic studies and sky observation alike tell us that our sun and his family are all headed in a great migration across the sky toward a point between the constellations of Hercules and Lyra. The speed with which we are traveling in that direction is 12 miles a second. The velocity of an artillery shell is around 3,000 feet a second; that of the sun is 63,000 feet. An artillery shell with the velocity of the solar system through space would, according to Kippax, penetrate a sheet of steel four city blocks thick. Is our great family journey through space along a straight road, or is it revolving around some greater body, even as the earth revolves around the sun and the moon around the earth? The astronomer tells us frankly that if the sun has an orbit its curve as yet defies detection. Star Cluster in Hercules. A faint idea of the stupendous number of stars that dot the sky and the staggering distance that separate them from our earth may be obtained from a fuzzy little speck of light in the constellation of Hercules. It is visible to the unaided eye only on the clearest nights; but train a high-powered telescope on it and you will see one of the finest star clusters in all the heavens. Ritchey's photograph of this cluster, taken with the big 60-inch Mount Wilson reflector, discloses that it is made up of more than 50,000 stars, very many of them as big and as bright as our own sun. How far away they are cannot be said, for they are too remote for measurement with the finest instruments yet devised. It is certain, however, that they are at least so distant that the light coming to the earth from them this year may have started on its hurting journey through space about the time of Joshua's conquest of Jericho. A glance to another spot in the firmament will afford a weak suggestion of the tremendous age of the universe. The central star of the sword of Orion appears to the naked eye as merely a dim little fellow that might be passed without a thought. But a telescope discloses it as the most magnificent nebula in the heavens. Its diameter is thought to be 20,000,000 times greater than that of our sun. When the sweet singer of Israel sang that "the heavens declare the glory of God and the firmament sheweth His Handwork," he had never seen more than 5,000 stars. With the latest Mount Wilson reflector 300,000,000 write themselves upon the photographic plate. Settling Hla Doubta A Boston man of discriminating taste, dining at his favorite eating place, ordered fricassee chicken, "took one look at it and called the waiter: "When does a chicken become a fowl here?" The obliging waiter scowled hard before finding his answer: "When it is a rooster, sah . . . it's a matter of sex." But the patron did not seem convinced, and the steward was summoned. Again the polite inquiry: "When does a chicken become a fowl, M—?" "Never, sir, in this restaurant!" came back the steward; and the guest went pleasantly on with his meal—Pittsburgh Sun. Did Look Bad. "Oh, yes, we are engaged to be married next spring; but I fear she has not that utter confidence in me that comes with perfect love." "Why so?" "Well, when a fellow looks back and sees her testing the diamond in her engagement ring on the window pane don't you think he has good cause to feel a bit dubious?" ARMENIA NEEDS FOOD Supply Is Exhausted, American Relief Workers Report. Bread Is Made From all Sorts of Substances—Break-up of Winter Reveals Terrible Conditions—Seed Grain Needed. New York, A cablegram received by Charles V, Vickrey, general secretary of Near East Relief, dated Alexandrop, tells of how investigation by American relief workers has revealed terrible starvation among refugees and orphans with the break-up of winter in the mountain villages of central Armenia. Foodstuffs throughout the area are exhausted, the cable says, and continues; "Bread is made from all sorts of substitutes, including flax, chaff and sawdust, having no appreciable food value. The people are extracting undigested materials from old refuse and giving it to the children. Health conditions are critical. Gastric and intestinal troubles prevail, due to malnutrition. A large per cent of the people are suffering from skin diseases. One-fourth of the adults are incapacitated and bedridden. "In the villages visited there are 1,500 orphans who should be removed immediately if they are to live. Even in small villages the weekly death list includes ten children. In many villages all children have lost their hair during the winter. Several cases were so desperate that the people resorted to eating human flesh, which practice was sharply punished by the authorities. Officials said they are doing all they can to prevent it, but the people lose their senses from hunger. At Mahmudchuk a family of fifteen persons was visited a month ago. Now only three of the family remain. The dead include all the male members of the family. Great anxiety is expressed about securing seed and grain for spring planting. The head man of the largest village said: "If we can secure seed we shall be on our feet by midsummer. If we don't get seed we are doomed to death." Near East Relief has sixty American relief administrators, doctors and nurses in this area. During the winter, however, their supplies and resources have been so reduced that they have been able to do little more than care for the large number of orphans already accepted in institutions, a single orphanage numbering 18,000 children. Secretary Vickey declares that not only the lives of the orphaned children this spring, but the food supply for the entire population next winter depends on the prompt dispatch within the next few weeks of grain for food and seed from the United States.

So far as known it is the first time a photo has ever been made of a lion cub in the act of laughing. Nature students who have seen the photo say that the cub is not laughing but is prepared to go to sleep and is yawning. The owner of the cub is Mrs. H. E. Cole of San Francisco. STRADIVARIUS BRINGS $9,000 Maker Received 80 Frances for it When He Made it in 1735. Paris.—A Stradivarius violin, for which the maker, Antonius Stradivarius, received 80 francs when he made it at Cremona in 1735, has just been sold here for 103,400 francs, including the war tax. This is equivalent at current rates of exchange to about $9,000. The violin was for a long time the property of the late Charles Lamoureux, founder and conductor of the famous Lamoureux orchestra. The recent tests, which seemed to establish that modern-made violins can not be distinguished from ancient ones by their tone, do not seem to have affected the price of ancient instruments, if this sale is any criterion. Sent Him a Mule's Head Independence, Mo.—On his hunting trip Frank Brown got an elk and ordered the head mounted. He was expecting it one day recently, and when a big box arrived by express he procured a hatchet, nail puller and derick and hastened to open it up. The boys gathered around to watch, and when the box was carefully opened the excelsior and straw removed, there was the head of a grinning mule with dead jimpson weeds for branching antlers. Those who saw it pronounced it a very fine head of its kind, and the joke was complete when the big express bill was presented. ```markdown ``` The Monitor THE MONITOR "GYPSIES" ON THE INCREASE Nomadic Life Seems to Be Becoming More and More Attractive Here in America. One need not think that the gypsy is disappearing in America. On the contrary, if the nomadic life is the essential of the gypsy, the number of people living such a life is increasing daily. One meets on the high roads from New York to the Pacific coast freshly formed caravans of recently arrived immigrants of all nationalities taking to the road. I have met whole families of Jewish peddlers living the gypsy life as they traveled and sold their wares, writes Konrad Bermovel in the Century. I have met several ambulant Italian barbers and their families traveling from village to village, plying their trade as they went along, a number of tinkers, welders, coppersmiths and a good many for whom the eighteenth amendment has opened the purses of villagers and farmers. While in Ohio recently I found one morning a camp of nongrobes who traveled in a big motor lorry. The men were dancing cakewalks on the street corners for the amusement of villagers and for pay, and the women were attempting to tell fortunes and sell baskets and amulets. When I questioned Sambo, telling him that I had never before seen negroes camp outdoors in that fashion, he answered with pride: "We isn't colored people any more—we is gypsies." It has been made plain. I think, that the term "gypsy" as now applied should be understood not wholly as a racial name but as a term meaning a people living a nomadic life in caravans. In whatever land the gypsy has appeared he has proved a magnet, drawing out the latent nomadic instinct of certain native folk, who have either followed after him or aped his wandering habits. This nongypsy element justifies "gypsy" as a covering term for all who turn nomads to satisfy the eternal wanderlust. It is contrary to fact to believe that we are less nomadic than our prehistoric ancestors. As a matter of fact, most of human ingenuity and invention was and is applied to make travel easier, more comfortable and more rapid. Whether we use caravan wagons, motors cars, trains or flying machines and whether we give different excuses for these travels, at bottom the real reason is the same nomadic instinct that drives the gypsy from place to place. Finally Got Their Man. The old adage that the royal Canadian mounted police always get their man is true in the case of Sergt. M. M. Stevens, who arrived recently at San Francisco with Chow Shimookski, taken into custody at Mexico City, after a chase lasting five and one-half months and covering 100,000 miles, Shimookski, charged with a double murder at Prince Rupert', British Columbia, was taken north by another Canadian officer. The chase for the fugitive led across Canada, then through the Atlantic coast states from Maine to Florida, and thence to New Orleans and into Mexico, according to Sergeant Stevens. Small Gardens. Eight hundred gardeners, members of one garden club in Washington, D. C., made an average of nearly $75 each from vegetables grown on oneteenth of an acre during the season of 1921. Some of these gardeners supplied all the vegetables for families of 10 and 12 people from their small gardens. Many of them canned and stored quantities of vegetables for winter use. These gardeners not only produced food, but secured valuable exercise. These clubs followed methods recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture. Qualified Committee: At the Legion post meeting in New Jersey, one comrade was reported to be sick and a motion was carried that a committee of three "be appointed to visit Comrade Jones, sympathize with him and try to cheer him up." Then it was reported that another comrade had been married since the last meeting, and the commander suggested that the post take suitable action. "Send the same committee to see him," suggested a voice. Mixed Drinks. He had made several vain attempts to swallow the mixture; but, somehow or other, he could not get it down. When at last he did manage to catch the waitress' eye he called to her and said: "There's something funny about this coffee. It tastes like cocoa. The waitress sipped it, made a wry face, and slipped it again, to make sure. "I'm sorry," she said. "I've given you tea."-Tit-Bits. "What can we do about it? The landlady had coffee and sandwiches ready when we arrived."—Birmingham Age-Herald. The Literary Bug "Now, girlie, I'll put you among the books, department of classics." "But I been selling lipsticks and rouge. I don't know nothing about classics." "You don't need to know nothing. Just see that absent-minded gents don't walk off without their change."—Judge. SHORT SHAFTS Idle talk won't put men to work. The Kiel canal is 61 miles long. The sip in gossip is the sip of tea. True saving lies in wise spending. One's temper improves with disuse. Beauty may also be lipstick deep. Audacity is the stepfather of success. Why isn't a wealthy actor a fixed star? A pawned opportunity seldom is redeemed. Cloves often savor of the spice of wickedness. Don't fail to ask for advice if you wish to flatter. As a man grows older he swaps his ideals for ideas. Honesty is always the best policy for the grocer. Toof many people don't want to work with their hands. The roll-top desk often covers a multitude of disorder. Some men would be other than hypocrites if they could. Wise parents aren't above apologizing to their children. The only thing that acts more boyish than a boy is a man. Look out for propositions that will not bear looking into. Beware of the man who is forever harping on his honesty. If some people didn't marry in haste they would stay single. When suspicion enters the door love goes out of the window. To be a gentleman all a man has to do is to hide his meanness. Don't think for a minute that man wants but little here below. Riches have wings. Poverty crawls under the door and abides. Life's immittigable bore is the man who finds everything a bore. There is one compensation for the man up a tree—he lives high. Says Sam: Spite is sand in the community carburetor. Worget it! Better one boy in the schoolroom than a dozen in the poolroom. Wireless telegrams come under the head of disconnected sentences. What we wish is the shadow; what we will is the substance, maybe. Few men ever wear their trousers out at the knees praying for work. Many a man is prematurely gray because of his wife's aburn tresses. Don't worry about your looks. You will always look good to your friends. Laugh and the world laughs with you, even when you are laughing at it. * Salads remain perennially popular because a salad is something you don't have to cook. Feel a smile and the right kind of smile will show up; but drat the artificial ones. Now and then you hear of an ideal husband—but, honest, now, did you ever see one? After we have regulated the rainfall, we might pay more attention to regulating humanity. Don't be afraid to ask questions. That's the only way you can find out a good many things. One consideration that checks weakneed revolutions is that people have to die in revolutions. Ignorance is bliss—generally—when there is something suspicious the matter with one's insides. It remains unhappily true that an utter optimist can provoke as many yawns as an utter pessimist. The person who does his own task, whatever it is, bravely and well, seldom has time to criticise others. Aunt Ada's Axioms: Order means peace for the home, sanity for the mind, and security for the state. There is such a thing as being too unselfish, but very of us are in danger of falling into the excess. There seems to be no place like home for the charity that begins there, as it seldom gets any further. PATRONIZE THE STATE FURNITURE CO. 14TH ST. CORNER DODGE ST.

Ottawa, Ont—Government fish hatcheries have ruined the "moralize" of the salmon of British Columbia, according to the story told to the house of commons by A. W. Neill. It seems that when the salmon come into the world at the fish hatcheries they are guarded against all enemies and Mr. Neill says they lose their protective instinct. So, when the salmon has come of age and is sent out in the cold world he is as "tame as a cat," to quote Mr. Neill, and when he meets an enemy he "stands with his mouth open and accepts murder as if such a thing were foreordained."

McKenzie, who has passed the fourscore milepost in the journey of life has reported that his father, one hundred and twenty-two, and his mother, one hundred and nineteen years old, celebrated their 100th wedding anniversary in Scotland a short time ago.
