TEXAS BURNS HUMAN BEINGS AT STAKE WHILE SENATE SLUMBERS OVER DYER BILL LIFTING _____ LIFT O _____ Student Addresses and Demonstrations Are Well Received by Hundreds of Fifty-fourth Annual Anniversary Guests. YOUNG STUDENTS MAKE GOOD Chief Justice William Howard Taft, Bishop Bratton, and Principal Moton Express Their Grateful Thanks. (By Wm. Anthony Aery) Hampton, Va., May 19.—The addresses and demonstrations by members of the Hampton Institute graduating class at the recent fifty-fourth anniversary celebration were received with enthusiastic applause by a large company of representative men and women. Chief Justice Taft, who is president of the Hampton Institute Board of Trustees, Bishop T. D. Bratton of Mississippi, and Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute were among those who commended the student speakers. The Negro and His Songs The Negro and Its Songs As a part of the anniversary concert program Richard Wilson Howe of Wilmington, N. C., spoke on "The Negro and his Songs." He declared that the ideas and experiences of the Negro are expressed in his songs. He stated that among the savage tribes of Africa there are found songs of harvest, of life, and of death. Although these songs have come from so-called heathen souls, they nevertheless have an intensely human touch. He described the Negro folk songs under five headings: The "spirituals," or religious songs; cradle songs; labor songs; game and dance songs; and songs of freedom. He gave illustrations of Negro "spirituals," which showed faith, hope, love, determination, courage, adoration, patience and humility. Campaign for Clean Milk Clara E. Majors of Lynchburg, Va., demonstrated methods of preserving milk After showing how milk can be easily tested for the presence of dirt, she pasteurized some milk and later explained how to test milk for the presence of formalin, which is a powerful preservative. Co-Operative Buying. Co-Operative Buying. The growing interest of farmers in co-operative buying was reflected in "A Demonstration Ageet at Work," presented by three Hampton seniors, Walter L. Webb, Sgneca, S. C., Joshua W. Williams, Lightfoot, Va., and Jas A. Harris, Hope, Ark., who showed graphically what can be done by farmers in the buying of fertilizers, for instance, if they are guided by intelligent, level-headed leaders and are willing to pull together to defeat the crop lien system. Shirt-Waist Project. That several attractive waists could be made from a single, plain pattern, which had been carefully drafted, was clearly demonstrated by Florence I. Wilson of Hampton, Va., who showed in detail how a woman or girl with training can make attractive tailored waists and then, by making duplicate newspaper patterns, turn about and make fancy waists with a minimum of effort and a maximum of satisfaction. Hampton Idea of Education Hampton Institute of Education "Hampton's Idea of Educated Men and Women as I Have Learned It," was outlined by John H. Calhoun, Jr., of Greenville, S. C., salutatorian of his class, who declared that the academic training at Hampton had always been noted for its thoroughness; that Hampton had adapted its courses to the needs of the peoples it served; that Hampton had taught thousands of pupils with thoroughness those vocations which were grerately needed. Hampton and the Davis Family Arthur P. Davis of Hampton, Va., the ranking scholar of his class and valedictorian, told the story of his grandfather's life both as a slave and as a freedman and of his relation to the American Missionary Association, which made possible the establishment of Hampton Institute in 1868, and to Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who served as Hampton's principal from 1868 to 1893. CHORUS IS MAKING EXCELLENT PROGRESS The great chorus of seventy voices, composed largely of members of the various choirs of the city, which is being trained for the concert to be given under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club at the City Auditorium, May 31, is making excellent progress. Practices are held at St. Paul's Presbyterian church Sunday afternoons at four o'clock and Monday and Wednesday evenings of each week. Rev. Russell Taylor is training the choir.

SPECIAL EXPERT OF VETERANS' BUREAU VISITS IN OMAHA SPECIAL EXPERT OF VETERANS' BUREAU VISITS IN OMAHA Dr. J. R. A. Crossland in Charge of Work Among Negro Veterans Spends a Strenuous Day in the City. VISITS THE MILITARY POSTS Has Largely Increased the Number of Ex-Service Men of Race Taking Vocational Training Provided by Government. Dr. J. R. A. Crossland of the War Veterans' Bureau and directly in charge of the important department of Negro veterans, spent a strenuous day in Omaha, Tuesday. Dr. Crossland, who is now on his fifth tour of inspection to get first hand knowledge of the needs and status of colored ex-service men, arrived in Omaha from St. Louis early Tuesday morning and was driven to the beautiful residence of Mr. and Mrs. Alphonse Wilson, friends of many years' standing. Later in the day, accompanied by the Rev. John Albert Williams, Dr. Crossland visited Fort Omaha, where he was courteously received and had a pleasant interview with Capt. Levinson, quartermaster. Returning to the city, he interviewed Dr. W. W. Peebles, commander of the Roosevelt Post American Legion, visited the publicity department of the Chamber of Commerce, paid his respects to Walter W. Head at the Omaha National Bank, a personal friend; visited the local headquarters of the United States War Veterans Bureau where he had a pleasant interview with Mr. Crandall in charge of the office, later drove to Fort Crook where he was courteously received by Major Buerkle, and ended the day with an interview with several ex-service men and a few prominent citizens at the residence of Mr. Wilson. When Dr. Crossland took office he found that 110,000 ex-service men were receiving vocational training, less than 1,000 of whom were colored men, whereas the number should have been ten times this number. During his incumbency the number has increased to 3,775. The vocational training now being given colored ex- A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

The government, Dr. Crossland pointed out is anxious for the rehabilitation of all ex-service men, and he is desirous that all ex-service men, especially of our race, avail themselves of the opportunity of securing vocational training and thereby fitting themselves for useful careers. The government is considering the feasibility of establishing three well-equipped vocational training schools for colored ex-service men, two in the south and one at some central point in some northwestern state, where thorough training can be given under the most favorable conditions. The Negro War Veterans Relief Bureau is anxious to have it known that all ex-service men should keep in touch with the bureau. It has been established to assist in every legitimate way possible Negro ex-service men to secure all the rights and privileges to which they are entitled at the hands of the government and which the government is desirous that they should receive. Dr. Crossland desires the widest publicity given to the fact that his bureau is anxious to be of assistance to ex-service men. Dr. Crossland left Wednesday morning for Chicago and other eastern points. He was most favorably impressed with Omaha. 1920 PROMINENT BAPTIST MINISTER VISITS HIS OMAHA RELATIVES Director of American Home Mission Society on Official Western Tour Speaks in Omaha. The Rev. Elbert W. Moore, director of the Negro work in the North of the American Home Missionary Society, whose headquarters are in New York City, was a Council Bluffs and Omaha visitor Sunday. Dr. Moore is a nephew of the Rev. William Moore, a retired Methodist minister, who many years ago was pastor of St. John's A. M. E. church in this city, but now resides in Council Bluffs. Dr. Moore, who was enroute west, planned to spend Sunday with his uncle. Sunday afternoon he called on his friend, M. F. Singleton, and was taken by Dr. C. H.

New York, May 19.—After dodging all over America and half over Europe Jack Dempsey, white heavyweight champion boxer of the world, will defend his title against Harry Wills in the baseball park here July 1st, the New York World learns today. All arrangements for the bout have been made and it only remains for Jack Kearns to sign on the dotted line and cinch the formal articles of agreement. The bout, it is understood, will be promoted by the Montreal Press Club, and assurance has been given that no interference will come from the authorities. July 1 here is Dominion Day, which corresponds to Independence Day, or July 4th, in the United States. The date falls on Saturday and it is anticipated that 100,000 people can see the bout, as temporary stands will be erected in the baseball park. Harry Wills long has been considered the logical challenger for Dempsey's heavyweight title. He has size, reach, poundage, and boxing skill in his favor, to say nothing of plenty of experience. The amount of the purse has not been divulged, but it is understood that Dempsey is guaranteed $300,000 with a privilege of a percentage of the gorros receipts, which are likely to reach $1,000,000 or more.

GROWING THANK YOU No. 46 Whole Number 357 R DYER BILL TEXAS MOB BURNS THREE SUSPECTED MEN AT THE STAKE One of the Victims Alleged to Have Confessed Implicating Two Oth- ers Who Die Protesting Their Innocence. TWO WHITE MEN SUSPECTED Shoes Fit Footprints Found Near Body of Murdered Girl. Suspects Released After The Lynching. Kirwin, Texas, May 19.—Following a man hunt in which an aeroplane was used to transport bloodhounds more than one hundred miles to the scene of the murder of a white girl, three colored men were arrested late Friday night and held until early Saturday morning, May 6th, when they were burned at a stake driven in the ground in the center of the town. The three men burned were "Snap" Curry, J. H. Varney and Moses Jones. The body of Thomas Cornish, the fourth man, was found hanging to a tree outside the town on Sunday. Curry is said to have confessed, implicating the other two, who died protesting their innocence, one dying singing "Lord, I'm coming." Two young white boys were also arrested when their shoes fitted tracks leading away from the spot where the dead girl was found. These men were released from custody after the lynching. When the body of the white girl was found in the woods around eight o'clock Friday morning, aeroplanes were used to bring bloodhounds here from Huntsville and with the whole county at their heels the manhunt began about two hours before dusk. In a little while three colored men and two white men suspected of the crime were lodged in Freestone county jail. Then the mob got into action. The sheriff surrendered his keys without any resistance and the three prisoners were taken from jail to the center of the public square where an iron pipe was driven into the ground. Third degree methods were used in order to secure confessions from the prisoners. Their bodies were hacked with knives and beaten with sticks in an effort to make them confess. In order to draw the spectacle out as long as possible, Curry was burned first, then Varney and finally Jones. Newspapers and wood were piled around each victim and his body thoroughly saturated with oil before the spectators applied matches from several sides and then hurried back to avoid the terrific heat. Fairfield, Texas, May 8. (United Press)—Two white men are being held in jail here in connection with the killing of Eula Ausley at Kirvin, for which three Negroes were burned there this morning, according to Sheriff Mayo Tracks leading from the scene of the murder to the home of the two men—brothers—and fitting the shoes they wore, were found, Mayo said. One of the men was captured yesterday and the second surrendered at the jail after the mob left her with the Negroes. BISHOPS URGE PASSAGE Thirty-four bishops of the Episcopal church have signed the N. A. A. C. P petition request the Senate to pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill.

From coast to coast and from north to south arises the cry to suppress lynching by federal authority.

AMERICA'S REPROACH SOME years ago Tristam Bey, the Turkish minister, upon leaving America flung this deserved taunt at the United States, "Turkey does not burn human beings at the stake." This was just subsequent to the burning of a black man at Paris, Texas, accused of a crime against a woman, but who died protesting his innocence. That was the same incident which evoked the comment from Wu Ting Fang, the Chinese minister, that "dying men don't lie." We are reminded of these suggestive statements from representatives of civilizations which we account inferior to our own, by the fact that Texas has again been guilty of almost unbelievable barbarism by burning three human beings, in succession, to prolong the gruesome spectacle and amuse the deprived populace which gloated over the agony of the unfortunate victims, two of whom died with hymns on their lips and protesting their innocence to the last. One victim is said to have confessed, under suspicion, implicating two others. The sheriff doubted the guilt of two of the men. Two white men whose shoes fitted the footprints leading from the murdered girl's body, were in custody under suspicion the "confession" of Curry and the subsequent lynching. The body of another black man, who is said to have said something against the lynching was found swinging from a limb. Before the men were committed to the flames, they were mutilated and tortured. Remember that this manifestation of barbarism took place in a Texas hamlet in Christian America in the shadow of a house of worship Similar crimes against humanity and justice have occurred and are liable to occur in ordinarily well-governed American cities in almost any section. America must be delivered from the barbarianism of the mob or she is doomed. In the light of this latest lynching why in heaven's name does the United States Senate delay in passing the Dyer Bill? "Turkey does not burn human beings at the stake." No. Can America say as much? Why then should America bear this reproach when she has it within her power as a Christian nation to cast it from her? ATTENTION, EX-SERVICE MEN! A MONG our readers are many ex- AMONG our readers are many ex-service men. We wonder how many of these are taking advantage of the opportunity offered them by the government of securing vocational training. As we understand it, all who have been in any way incapacitated are entitled to compensation and vocational training. That is to say the government will pay their way through school and give them a certain sum of money to live upon. This sum, if we are correctly advised, runs from $100 to $145 per month, according to circumstances and the number of dependents. We know of only two Colored ex-service men of Nebraska who are taking vocational training. There may be others. There ought to be at least 100 from this state, nearly this number from Omaha alone. It may be that some have applied and been turned down or discouraged. If this be so they need to try again. As a rule our people give up too quickly if things do not come just their way. We are too easily discouraged and conclude there is no use trying. This ought not be. Those who give up too quickly make mighty little progress in any line. We hope that all ex-service men who are entitled to government compensation and vocational training will insist upon getting it. The Negro War Veterans Relief Bureau is an agency which has been created to see that ex-service men of our race secure every right to which they are just entitled. If you have been turned down or discouraged, give facts and data to the central bureau at Washington. The Monitor hopes that no ex-service man who is entitled to the privilege of taking training that will make him a more useful and independent citizen will permit his opportunity to pass. ```markdown ``` Matter July 2, 1915, at the Postoffice at 8, 1879.

INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. 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 real protection of the laws. THE Monitor has peculiar views and decided convictions. We are unalterably and uncompromisingly opposed to the regnant view in the United States that there must be two types of American citizenship, differentiated solely on the ground of color, namely white American citizenship, enjoying unlimited privileges, and black American citizenship, with limited privileges. This is the prevalent view upon which the people and the government act. Theoretically, no; practically, yes. This is fallacious and vicious; divisive and against national unity. Therefore, we are opposed to it both in theory and practice. We believe that the government should see to it, for example, that its ex-service men, irrespective of race or color, who desire vocational training, should be sent to the same schools, and they best in the land. This is what should be done. But this is not being done; nor has the government the backbone or moral courage, it would seem, to do it. It is not deemed feasible or practicable. As a result many ex-service men of our race are being deprived of the training they should receive. "Placement training" is largely farcical, a camouflage and a sham. What is to be done? It is proposed to establish, as a practical measure to meet this vocational difficulty, three well-equipped vocational training centres for Negroes or colored Americans Infinitely better this than nothing, or the present inadequate and unsatisfactory methods. Two of these schools are to be in the South and one somewhere in the northwest. Since this is the plan, why should not Omaha make a bid for this school? If not Omaha, why not Nebraska? There is adequate land in this vicinity that could be acquired for such an institution. Why, for example, would not some place like Fort Crook, with its hundreds of acres, giving opportunity for training in agriculture, and the erection of buildings for various trades, be an ideal place? Here is a chance for the Omaha Chamber of Commerce to show what it can do in landing a desirable plum for Nebraska. If the government is seeking a suitable location for such a training centre somewhere in northwestern territory, why should not Nebraska try to land it? Why should not Nebraska's congressional delegation get busy on this job? WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY THE DUTY OF THE HOUR THE four million Americans who fought in France offered their all, not only to free civilization from its impending Hun menace, not only to protect the rights and property of Americans at home and abroad, on land and on sea, but to revenge the outrage on Belgium and to rescue our glorious sister republic, France, from the invasion on the part of the Teutons. But of the four million Americans there were four hundred thousand black Americans who fought over there, not only for these things abreed but for democracy at home. There was not a single black Yankee who suffered, who was gassed or wounded or who died, who did not, way back in the innermost recesses of his brain, cheerfully make his sacrifice because he was resolved to secure thereby for his people back home the thing called "democracy." While that was the thing for which they pledged their all, that is the very thing which the American people are forgetting. It is to the completion of this unfinished task before us as colored Americans that we must here highly resolve or they shall have suffered and sacrificed and died in vain. The American people for the most part do not as yet realize that their Colored fellow citizens want full democracy and are determined to have it. They do not realize that black men must have an equal opportunity in the industrial, civic and political life of the nation if this is to become a republic in fact as well as in name. Black America wants peace in all these relations, but more than that, equality if they have to fight for it. Our Colored fellow citizens, too, have had the edge of this meaning of Memorial Day to them dulled. It is for them and their leaders to stand now as never before four-square for their rights. They cannot if they remain true to the faith of those who fought on Flanders field accept less. More than that they must not ask. To be prepared to play their part in American democracy they must prepare themselves and their children in education, in industry, in politics, in morals and in manhood. The Colored people must see to it that their leaders do not sell them for a miserable mess of pre-election or post-election pottage. Their political leaders must not pussyfoot nor temporize upon their franchise nor their right to hold office, elective or appointive. In all the agencies of government, in every institution, federal, state and municipal, which has for its purpose-the promotion of the educational, physical or moral welfare of the people, black Americans must have, not only the untrammeled and recognized right to enter as other citizens, but preceding and guaranteeing that right full representation in its official personnel. To live for these things and to die for them if necessary is the duty of Colored America at this hour.—New York News.

He had just finished a graphic description of how a friend of his had been struck in the eye with a golf ball and nearly lost his sight. It was a delightful moonlight evening and as they strolled through the campus he had grown eloquent in the details of the terrific drive, the whir of the ball through the air and the audible crash as it struck his companion full in the face. Then he followed up with a description of the blood and pain and a couple of subsequent major operations and paused to light a cigarette while he left the effect to slink in. They moved slowly on for a few moments and then she suddenly looked up at him. "Gee," she murmured, "I'll bet that boy had a black eye."

French, and only 1 No country injured by the World war set about more earnestly to achieve reconstruction than Belgium, the one which suffered most cruelly and dramatically from the conflict. Though the damage done to the country through property destroyed, pillage and financial exactions by the Germans reached the tremendous sum of 30 billions of francs according to the estimate of the Belgium Comite Central Industriel, the people, with characteristic industry and thrift, took up the heavy task of resuscitating their country's industrial life as soon as the armistice had been signed. By the beginning of 1920 they had made such great strides that, with the exception of the steel and glass industries, production averaged three-quarters or more of pre-war production; the coal output had even reached 94 per cent and the refined sugar output 100 per cent. But the post-war reaction which struck the United States and other countries in 1920 affected Belgium, too; and since the spring of that year Belgium has had its share of depression, closed and part time factories and unemployment. The drought which affected many parts of the northern hemisphere has been felt in Belgium, with the result that harvests are less and food prices higher. Where the price index of living costs was 100 in 1914 it was 477 in October, 1920 and had reached only to 384 in August, 1921. But the adverse economic forces in operation since early in 1920 have caused suffering even in countries not involved in the World war; and to understand that Belgium, in spite of present trials, is in a fair way to outstrip the other war-torn countries in the return to normal, it is only necessary to consider conditions in the little kingdom before the war broke in upon it. Its Population Is Dense. The Belgium of today has an area less than one-fourth as great as Mississippi, and yet it has four times the population of that state. Twenty-two and a half countries like Belgium would be required to make a state like Texas, and if Texas were as densely populated as Belgium it would have as many people as the United States and Germany together now possess. If the entire United States bad as many people to the square mile as Belgium—that is, continental United States, exclusive of Alaska—we would have more people here than there are in the entire world today. You could concentrate all the people of the seven seas and of all the continents here and still have room for enough more to repopulate the continent of Europe as it now stands. It must follow from this that such a vast population, living within such narrow confines—7,579,000 souls within an area of 11,373 square miles—must be a frugal people, accustomed to self-denial, skilled in the art of economical living, and masters of the science of intensive industry; yet with all this density of population, with all the exactions of forced economy, they are a people who had so ordered their relations with one another and with their government that happiness and contentment seemed to dwell with them as with but few other peoples, and this in spite of diverse descent and diverse tongues. Two Distinct Peoples. Within Belgium's small territory—smaller in area than Massachusetts and Connecticut—there are nearly three million Flemings who cannot talk with their compatriot Walloons, and about as many Walloons who cannot hold converse with their countrymen Flemings. In their habits of mind and their methods of gaining a livelihood the two peoples differ as widely as the English and the French, and in their speech they are as different as the Germans and the Scandinavians; and yet there is a tie that has bound them together for generations, with never a fratricidal war in their modern history. That tie is the bond of religion, for they all subscribe to the doctrines of the Church of Rome with a heartiness that makes them one of the best-loved peoples of the Holy See. Their tongues are Flelish and French, and only 10 per cent of the people can speak both. The Flemish influence never crossed the Meuse river toward the east, and the Walloon influence reached but a short distance toward the west from that beautiful valley. The line of demarcation between the two peoples is rather sharply marked. There is a physical difference between the Walloons of eastern Belgium and the Flemings of western Belgium, just as there is a difference of tongue and stock. The Walloons are of stouter build and greater stature, and are dark where the Flemings are fair, thus bespeaking the commingling of Spanish blood. On the other hand the Flemings are the more industrious of the two peoples, and their women are said to be able to prepare the best meals out of the fewest things of almost any race in the world. Living was cheap in pre-war Belgium. The people had thoroughly mastered the art of intensive farming, and the land, before the great war descended upon the country with its heel of iron, blossomed with the milk and honey of plenty. Being contiguous to the North sea fishing grounds, it has always possessed a liberal supply of fish, which is a staple article of diet with the people. If living was cheap in Belgium it was no cheaper than conditions called for, because wages certainly were low. Many lace-workers; making the exquisite laces that bear the Belgium mark, worked from the rising to the setting of the sun for five dollars a week. It is said that the average wage of all the breadwinners of the country approximated only $165 a year. The children work after they are twelve, and all hands in a working-man's family must keep busy in order that no mouth shall go hungry. Even at this it requires, even in normal times, the utmost frugality to make the buckle of income meet the tongue of outge. So must the Belgian housewife be an excellent manager. The Belgian wage-earning classes eat but little animal food, and most of that is fish. All Are Early at Work The day begins early for everybody in Belgium, and particularly with the wage-earners. More than half of Belgium's population lives outside the towns, and they are up at their work before the gray dawn is dispersed by the rising sun, and on clear mornings the lights of hundreds of cottages may be seen vying with the stars as they twinkle forth their message of households bestirring. In the towns and cities the people are downtown almost as early as their neighbors across the English Channel are at breakfast. They get their midday meal around noon, and they go home for it, since remarkably low tramway fares make this possible. So it is that, instead of a mug of milk and a sandwich at some quick lunch, many a Belgian burger shuts up shop at 12 goes home to his largest meal of the day, eats it leisurely, and returns downtown by 2 o'clock. The Belgian government has always felt a keen interest in the welfare of the wage-earner and the man of small affairs, and has made it possible for them to buy homes on easy terms. The national savings bank is empowered to make loans to householders for buying or building homes, and to insure their lives, so that in the event of death, the family will not lose its equity in the place, and can use the insurance to wipe off the debt. Taxes were made exceedingly low on small property owned by those who tenant it. The entire western portion of the country resembles one vast market garden. There are no fences marking the boundaries of the many small tracts, but rather little trenches that separate one farmer's place from the others. Tens of thousands of acres of the roughest kind of land have been converted into splendid trucking gardens by western Belgians. In 1839 there was a wild stretch of land west of the Scheldt river called the Pays de Waes, uncultivated and uninhabited. Today it is one of the most fertile sections of this remarkable country, supporting 500 people to the square mile, with truck farming as its principal industry.

New York—The Braille system of embosed type has now been adopted by all schools for the blind in this country, and since 1919, no new book has been embosed in any other type. Dozens of embosed types for reading by the finger have been designed from time to time; the first practical one was devised in France 136 years ago by Valentin Hauy. Three systems retained popularity for many years, but as this made it necessary for the blind to learn three different types, the leading educators of the country decided to make one system universal, and unanimously decided on the Braille. Much ingenuity, effort and money have been expended in devising these systems to enable the blind to read and receive training through which they may become self-supporting. All may be divided into two groups—those composed of lines and those composed of points. In general the line types, which came first, were limitations of characters that had survived as best adapted to reading by the eye. The point types, the characters of which are merely different arrangements and numbers of similar points or dots, represent arbitrary systems justified both as being generally more tangible than the lines, and as being writable as well as readable by the blind themselves. The point systems have gradually driven out the line types, with the exception of the Moon type, which is so large and coarse that anybody having the least patience can learn to read with the finger. Agreed on a Midway Type. The type adopted is called the Revised Braille. $1\frac{1}{2}$, as the British have been using this type in two forms, one in full spelling and other highly contracted with many arbitrary abbreviations. As textbooks and literature should be models of good usage, the leading educators of the blind in this country agreed on a type between the two. This American grade is a simplified type and can be read by anyone who knows either type. The music notations for the blind are now the same everywhere, as are the mathematical and the chemical notations wherever English is used. In this way duplication of scores and tables may be avoided through international exchange. Already 208 different books have been published in this uniform type. The printing of embossed books for the blind began with the founding of the first school in this country in 1830. Books were made in funds were available until 1879, when congress granted the American Printing House for the Blind at Louisville an annual subsidy of $10,000. This house at once became the greatest producer of its kind in the world, and continued to be such into the present century, when the number of blind pupils in the schools drawing upon this source for books had more than doubled. The cost of production and the increase in demand eventually made the output of this house insufficient, and in the emergency several of the schools put up emergency printing presses and assisted one another. One endowed enterprise set about manufacturing writing appliances and table games for the blind and selling them at less than cost. In 1919, however, congress increased its grant to the American Printing House from $10,000 to $50,000, which made possible the enlargement and improvement of the plant and the increase in the number of books to each school. Spreading Knowledge. In a report on the work to educate the blind and distribute books among them, Edgar E. Allen, director of the Perkins institute and Massachusetts School for the Blind, writes: "Most schools are glad to circulate their embossed books beyond their own pupils and do so as far as they can. But the reading hunger of the blind outside of institutions is chiefly satified by circulating libraries located here and there throughout the country. Libraries and schools interested have collected much literature, and some authors have been induced to meet the cost of publishing a book or two in Braille. "By far the largest number of blind and partly blind pupils in the United States, as elsewhere, attend the residential schools commonly called institutions. There are now 45 such schools, with a total attendance of about 5,000. The day-school movement started in Chicago considered all its pupils blind, and taught them as such for years until in a few cities certain of the semi-blind were segregated and taught as semi-sighted pupils, chiefly through the eye instead of the fingers. "The movement for such segregation is scientifically correct, and represents a great educational advance in the proper methods of reaching children not suffering from blindness but from seriously defective eyesight." The Monitor THE MONTION PARTING WITH HIS PENNIES Youngster's Quotation Had Much Truth, but Was Hardly Appropriate to the Occasion. William's grandfather was a wise but eccentric old man who was always expressing his disapproval of the press ent generation by quoting some proverb or well-known phrase. In consequence of this William had a great many of the old man's sayings at his tongue's end. On Children's day in Sunday school William was chosen as the representative of his class to carry up to the pulpit the birthday box containing the contributions made by the children on their respective birthdays. Each class representative had to recite a Bible verse as he delivered the box to the superintendent. But poor William, as he passed up the alse, became frightened at the crowd and forgot his verse. However, as he approached the superintendent he knew he must say something, so he bravely sang out one of his grandfather's pet phrases. "A fool and his money are soon parted"—Exchange. Wanted There Badly "Thomas Hardy," said an English lecturer, "is a serious enough individual today, but there was a time in London when he was the gayest of the gay. "At a bohemian club one evening Hardy rang up one after another 30 or 40 of the most distinguished people in town—dukes, bishops, actor managers, society queens, stage beauties and so on. He told all these people to call up '625 Chiswick' at once. "You're wanted there badly," he explained to them, and the celebrities all thanked him hurriedly and rang off. "Well, when Hardy got through his telephoning we looked up '625 Chiswick' in the telephone directory. It was Wormwood Scrubs prison." Giant Spring. Not far from the town of Twin Falls, in Idaho is a spring that runs a big electrical plant. It is called the Thousand Spring, and there is nothing like it to be found anywhere else in the world. What a tremendous spring it is may be judged from the fact that it delivers almost 1,000 cubic feet of water a second—enough water to supply all the needs of the city of New York! It flows out of a lava cliff at a considerable height, like the waterfall of a stream, and furnishes power which, converted into electricity, is distributed for lighting and other purposes over an extensive area.—Philadelphia Ledger. His Wit Rewarded An honest rustic went into the shop of a Quaker to buy a hat, for which 15 shillings were demanded. He offered 12. "As I live," said the Quaker, "I cannot afford to sell it to thee at that price." "As you live!" exclaimed the countryman. "Then live more moderately and be hanged to you." "Friend," said the Quaker, "I have sold hats for 20 years, and my 'As I live' trick has never been found out till now; thou shalt have the hat for nothing."—Boston Transcript. Out. "I can truly say, madam," began the educated-looking prisoner, "that I shall actually regret the day my sentence expires and I leave these walls." "Ah," breathed the sympathetic visitor. "I had heard this was a model prison, but I never dreamed that it instilled such gratitude and depth of feeling in its inmates. And how much longer does your sentence run, my poor man?" "Life, madam."—American Legion Weekly. Literal Construction Stranger—Are the waiters here at tentive to you, miss. Pretty Cashier—Sr-R-r. Stranger—Oh, no offense, miss—no offense, I assume you. I was merely carrying out the instructions printed on the bill of fare: "Please report any inattention of the waiters to the cashier." I thought if they were inattentive to you, I would report them, that's all.—Bob Transcript. Sad Case Mrs. Jones (sobbing)—The man company collector was around today and got his money. Jones—Well, that's good. What's the matter? Why weep over a paid bill? Mrs. Jones—Oh, my dear, boo hoo—oh, dear! You see, he was held up just outside and came back and—oh, dear—collected it all over again.—New York Sun. Bobby's Idea of It. The clerical guest was invited to ask the blessing, and the little boy of the house listened nicely until "Amen" was pronounced. Then he said to the minister: "You say your prayers at dinner time so you won't have to say 'em when you go to bed, don't you?"—Boston Transcript. Important Omission Young lady (telephoning)—Oh, doctor, I forgot to ask about that eye medicine you gave me. Doctor—Well? Young Lady—Do I drop it in my eyes before or after meals?—Cornell Wldow.

NOT ALL GLOOM IN RUSSIA Traveler Writes of Christmas in Mos cow That Reminded Her of American Celebrations. As far as the fairy stories and the simpler, sweeter things in child life, I found evidence, on a trip I made one snowy Christmas day to a school outside of Moscow, that they are by no means destroyed. I had received an invitation to the Christmas festivities of the school—a gay-colored card designed by the children themselves and signed by the twelve-year-old president of the school soviet. The head of an American manufacturing plant, in Moscow then on business, and a number of relief workers had also been invited, and together we walked five miles out into the country to this school—now the scene of hilarious activity. The manufacturer was immediately pressed into service to help decorate the large Christmas tree that some of the older boys had cut down. The decorations, almost all of them made by the children, were bright bits of things that had been carefully boarded for the occasion. When I looked up at the American business man, beaming from the top of his stepladder as the children handed up their tinsel, somehow the scene did not appear very different from scenes that were being enacted that day in many an American home. After dinner there was a play called "The Kingdom of Frost," which told about what happens to a child when he runs away from his parents. It was a highly moral play. The music had been composed by a boy of eleven, the son of a brilliant violinist, and the paper costumes had been made very beautifully indeed by the children. The violinist himself was in the audience, and after the great dance of snowflakes that ended the play he was urged to perform. He asked the children what they wanted to hear. The vote was for "something sad from Techalkowsky." The violinist objected. He made a little speech, in which he pointed out that this was not an occasion for sad music. They should choose something festive. The children applauded his speech politely and repeated their request. He played Techalkowsky-"Children of Moscow," by Anna J. Haines in Asla Magazine. Wolves "Bushed" Train Wolves attacked a train in Bosnia it had just been learned. A train from Dubica for Agram was traveling slowly soon after leaving the station on account of the snow when it was attacked by a large pack of wolves who were maddened by hunger. The animals jumped on the engine and into the coaches, howling desperately. The frightened passengers barricaded and defended themselves with rifles and revolvers. Many wolves were run over and killed, and finally the train, putting on speed, succeeded in getting away from the pack. It arrived at Agram covered with bloodstains and pieces of wolves' flesh. Christmas After New Year's The soviet Russian government has introduced the European calendar, but the church insists upon the old Russian calendar. The result is that the great holidays at the end of the year are celebrated twice. New Year's is observed with great pomp after the European calendar, and Christmas after the old calendar, so that now in Russia Christmas comes after New Year's. The state participates in this order, so that atheistic Bolshevism on our January 5 closed all its offices for the ecclesiastical Christmas based upon the czarist calendar. Careless Nurse. A fashionable mother insisted that the maids in her employ should afford as much consideration to her children as to any one else in the household. On one occasion a youngster approached his mother with this announcement: "My piece of bread and butter has dropped on the buttered side." Whereupon the mother summoned her thus: "Clarice, you will please to remember that you are to butter Clara's bread on the right side." Hail Men With "Pen." "Men with 'pep' rush in where angels fear to tread." Even "in the piping times of peace" they cast "modest stillness and humility" to the fourth remove and "let their action imitate the tigers." They advance upon our civilization like an army with banners. "Brashness" we used to call it, with affectionate contempt and tender ply; "pep" we hail it now, and laud it with loud hosannas.—Henry Ford's Dearborn Independent. Postponed Repentance There was a man out in Wisconsin who went to a revival meeting and was pressed to repent. He wavered for a time and finally fared and said, "Friends, I want to repent and tell how bad I have been, but I don't do it when the grand jury is in session." "The Lord will forgive," the revivalist shouted. "Probably he will," answered the sinner, "but he ain't on that grand jury."—Boston Transcript. Unlucky Coincidence. And here's one about the Quaker whose patriotism got the better of his religious scruples and who went to war. Crawling through No Man's land he spied a husky German. Raising his rifle to his shoulder, he shouted: "Friend, 'tis most unfortunate for thee, but thee standeth just where I am going to shoot." And blazed away—American Legion Weekly.

After the preliminary challenge the sentry had ordered the commanding officer to advance with the counter-sign. But unfortunately the latter had forgotten it. "Come, come, sentry," said the C.

Success. The Sunday school teacher was doing his best to inculcate lessons of altruism, and had taken as his example the case of two little boys, one of whom was always ready to grab, while the second was willing to share everything. "Now, children," he finished impressively, "which of these two boys will grow up into the successful and respected man?" And as one voice the class answered: "The guy that gits!"—American Legon Weekly. MELCHOR--Druggist The Old Reliable Tel.
