SCOTT RESIGNS THE BUSINESS LEAGUE SECRETARYSHIP
Heavy Responsibilities as Secretary Treasurer of Howard University Makes Retirement from the League Imperative.
FILLED OFFICE MANY YEARS
Was Important Factor in Developing Business Organization Which Has Meant Much in the Commercial Life of the Race.
(Associated Negro Press)
Washington, D. C., May 26.—Dr. Emmett J. Scott, Secretary of the National Negro Business League since its formation by Booker T. W. Washington, and one of the virile forces of the organization, has resigned after twenty-one years of continuous service. In his letter of resignation addressed to Dr. Robert H. Moton, President and Bishop R. E. Jones, chairman of the Executive Committee, Dr. Scott says:
"I have reluctantly come to the conclusion that the duties and responsibilities which now press upon me, require that I give up some of the activities which in the past have challenged my enthusiasm and support.
"It is for that reason, I am writing now, so that the work of the league may be unhindered and that you gentlemen representing the National orga-tation may know that I shall not be in position to do during the coming three and one-half months the same amount of work I have carried on in the past in the interest of the League.
"The commanding place that Howard University is now taking in the University world is calling for all of my mental and physical resources. We are attempting to lay broad foundations for this National University of the Colored people of America, and I must give up some of my present activities.
"I am therefore requesting that the Executive Council accept my resignation as Secretary of the League to take effect at once.
"In severing my relations as an officer of the Business League, I wish to convey to you and through you to the organization itself, my sincere thanks for the fine opportunities which have been presented for me to co-operate with some of the most enterprising of our forward looking men and women.
"I have not given up my thought that the program outlined at St. Louis before the National Business League in 1919 is a workable one. We have been unable to carry out that program with the meager finances of the Business League. It seems to me that it will ultimately be necessary for an organization along business lines to effectively put over this program, and I shall be interested in such a program."
"I shall always be interested in the Business League and its work, and only regret that the cares and responsibilities I am shouldering prevent me from being as actively connected with the organization in the future as in the past.
"Last August at Atlanta, I very much appreciated at the end of my twenty-one years of service as an officer of the National Negro Business League, my unanimous re-election, by suspension of the rule, as secretary of the organization. I shall always treasure that fine action of the National organization."

izens, among them Rev. W. F. Bottis,
Rev. Wm. Franklin, Dr. Herbert Wiggins
and others too numerous to mention.
By request of all members the
campaign was extended until a date in
June, to be announced later in this

DR. EDWARDS ADDRESSES
THE N. A. A.
Last Sunday afternoon the N. A. A. C. p. met at the Grove M. E. church and listened to an able address on "Health" by Dr. A. G. Edwards. He stressed the importance of health to the community and called attention to the fact that in many cities our group is compelled to live in unsanitary surroundings which menace the health of the community. He made a strong appeal for a well-equipped, modern hospital, owned and operated by and for the colored citizens of Omaha, whom the doctor claims are only tolerated but not wanted in the hospitals of the city. Such a hospital should be a citizens' movement. His address was able and scholarly and should have had a much larger audience, Rufus Long contributed in his inimitable way a solo which was highly appreciated. Rev. John Albertt Williams, W. K. Flemmings and Mr. Davis were called upon for brief addresses. The meeting Sunday afternoon will be held at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon.
MORAL DEPRAVITY OF
WHITE MEN CENSED
BY SOUTHERN JUDGE
Greenville, S. C., June 1.—After the trial of Miss Lucille Tinsley, a young colored woman, who was convicted of manslaughter in the killing of N. B. Hoard, a white man, and was sentenced to two years in the penitentiary, Judge Maudlin said: "I am convinced, after carefully considering the evidence, that there would not have been a miscarriage of justice if a verdict of acquittal had been returned in this case. This pernicious practice of white men debaucheng colored women is outrageous and should be stopped. I cannot understand the moral deprivity of some white men."

TYPES OF OMAHA HOMES
A great deal of favorable comment is being made upon the showing of types of homes owned by colored citizens which The Monitor is featuring. It is not generally known that our group of citizens pay taxes on realty totaling approximately $2,500,000. This week we present to our readers illustration of two more types of homes.
Nebraska Civil Rights Bill
Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1893.
Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons. All persons within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to every person.
Sec. 2. Penalty for Violation of Preceding Section. Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person, except for reasons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by aiding or inciting such denials, shall for each offense be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution.
"The original act was held valid as to citizens; barber shops can not discriminate against persons on account of color. Messenger vs State, 25 Nebr. page 677. N. W. 638."
"A restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a colored person with refreshments in a certain part of his restaurant, for no other reason than that he is colored, is civilly liable, though he offers to serve him by setting a table in amore private part of the house.

Jackson, Mich., June 1.—Foreign missions producing harmony between the eastern and western worlds were pictured as the bulwark of Christian civilization by the Rt. Rev. Charles D. Williams, bishop of the Episcopal church in Michigan, in an address at the opening session of the annual state convention of the denomination here Wednesday, May 24th.
Bishop Williams declared the "merciless exploitation" of the yellow races by the white had bred enmity and created a sentiment "that portends the eventual destruction of white civilization before the inroads of the dark peril unless we meet the threat with spiritual power."
Mrs. Theodocia Scroggins, mother of Mrs. Russell Taylor, is still confined to her bed.
HAMPTON INSTITUTE
Hampton, Va., June 1—Hampton Normal and Industrial Institute which has long been an industrial and normal school, is offering college courses for the first time. According to the announcement, the Institute will grant the degree of bachelor of science in agriculture and bachelor of arts degree in education. Arrangements have been made for the pupils to attend twelve months in the year to finish their courses in three years instead of four years.
KU KLUX MADE ISSUE
KU KLUX MADE ISSUE
Portland, Oregon, June 1.—Following the close of his campaign, which was featured by a bitter denunciation of the Ku Klux Klan by Governor Olcott, early indications pointed to his victory for re-election by a scant margin. Close political observers stated his anti-klan attitude had an important effect on the voting.
Over Three Thousand Persons Listen to Excellent Program Rendered by a Chorus of Ninety Voices
Vol. VII—No. 48
Over Three T sons Listen Program R Chorus of
An audience numbering upwards of three thousand perons, two-thirds of which was composed of Omaha's best white citizenship, listened with enthusiasm to a delightful program, rendered at the Auditorium Wednesday night by a chorus of ninety voices, under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club of Omaha, and the direction of the Rev. Russel Taylor, pastor of St. Paul's Presbyterian church. Desdunes' famous band also contributed to the excellent program. The Monitor has spoken of the personnel of the audience, for the reason that it has been almost next to impossible to get the white citizens of Omaha, to attend, in any large numbers, meritorious events, either musical or oratorical, given under colored auspices. This has been a serious mistake on both sides. Our white fellow citizens have not realized that a virile and progressive group in their midst is capable of and really doing worth while things. On the other hand it has lead many of our group to conclude that white citizens are apathetic and unsympathetic towards our higher aspirations and are sympathetic only with the subtle and vicious propaganda which would degrade us and, if possible, impede our progress.
Such an audience as this would have been impossible, if it had not been for the highly organized system of co-operation by the Chamber of Commerce and allied organizations so effectively planned and directed by Mr. S. S. Caldwell, to whom credit is due for evoking, sustaining and guiding this co-operation. Nor was the audience disappointed in the splendid program given, which reflected credit upon the Rev. Russel Taylor, who has clearly shown his ability as a director, and upon every participant in the program. When it is known that this chorus was trained in four weeks one's admiration for the work done by chorus and director grows.
The program was planned to present principally the work of colored composers and some of those Negro Spirituals which are really America's only original music, capable of wonderful interpretation and inspiration, and yet there were interspersed other classical selections which showed the capabilities of the chorus in this line. The wonderful harmony of Harry Burleigh's "Go Down Moses" was richly brought out, and the dramatic power of the composition was admirably interpreted by the chorus. The two spirituals, "Lord, I Want to Be a Christian in My Heart", and "I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray", sung by Mrs. Mabel Nelson, who has a clear voice of wonderful power and range; and a double quartette, composed of Messrs. R. Taylor, Jr., A. Rayford, W. H. Shackleford and Bert Taylor, and Mesdames Dewey A. en, C. S. Spriggs, A. Woodson and Miss Irene Cochran, were wonderfully reverential and appealing and were well received, eliciting an enthusiastic encore. "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot", arranged by Parks, and "Far Away in the South" by Carrie B. Adams, sung by St. Paul's male quartette, composed of the Rev. Russel Taylor and his three sons, Russel, Jr., Elbert and William, were features eliciting high praise. A pleasant surprise was sprung when this quartette descended to the floor where the Concord club was seated in a body, where they repeated "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" and the Concord Club responded by

"Oh Hush You Now, My Honey", by Adams, and "Believe Me, If All Those Endearing Charms", by Balfe-Adams, sung by Miss Irene Cochran and chorus, were also numbers that pleased. "Nancy Lee" and "Sleep, My Little Kinky Head" were also well interpreted. Lena Mays Curry, who has a rare soprano voice of great sweetness and cultivation, captivated her audience with "Love's Rapture" by Williams and "Mammy" by Cook. Her accompanist was Mrs. Clarence H. Singelton. The pianists for the chorus were Miss Frances Gordon and Miss Lucy Allen, whose accompaniment was all that could be desired. The chorus not only sang well but made a good appearance.
Dan Desdunes' Band gave the opening and the closing numbers and delighted the audience as it always does, receiving enthusiastic encores. The band's opening number was the overture, "The Dawn of Freedom", responding to an encore with a lively popular air. A cornet solo, "Polka de Concert" by Desdunes, played by Jeff Smith, brought forth an ovation for this popular artist. "Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child", by Coleridge Taylor, proved the ability of this organization along classical lines. This was to have been the closing number, but the audience would not have it so, and demanded an encore.
The first concert to be given under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club of Omaha was a marked success from every point of view and should mean larger and better things not only along musical lines but in other uplifting activities in which all citizens can and should actively and sympathetically co-operate for making our city one of the best, most progressive and ideally democratic cities in the country. The Monitor hopes that a permanent choral society may be the outcome of this excellent, artistic and well-managed musical event,
PRESENT RECTORY WITH
BEAUTIFUL WILTON RUG
The women of the congregation of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon carried out a pleasant surprise last Wednesday night, when in the absence of the Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Williams they invaded the recory, under the leadership of Mesdames Bailey and Mahammitt, and placed a beautiful Wilton rug on the rectory floor, the gift of the women. When the pastor and his wife returned and found the house filled with guests and saw the beautiful gift words failed them. In a few well chosen words Mrs. Mahammitt said: "This is a gift from the women to you. Mrs. Williams, as a token of our love, and we are proud of the fact that the men had nothing to do with this; we women did it all." Every woman in the church contributed toward the gift. Refreshments were served and a delightful evening was spent.

MEMBER

SERVICE
JUST now hundreds of young people are leaving high schools, colleges and universities to enter upon careers and avocations in the busy marts of life. Some will have no opportunity to go further than through high school, and this made possible only through the self-denial and sacrifices of their parents. Others will have had the advantage of college and university training and this, too, through the self-denial of loving parents, supplemented in many cases by the labors and struggles and sacrifices of the pupils themselves who, ambitious for the mental training possible to equip themselves more fully for taking their place in the ranks of service, are willing to pay the price. Education is simply foundation laying in the important work of character building. If the foundation be well and truly laid a strong, useful, helpful character will be built thereon. So whether students shall be privileged to enter the field of higher learning, or begin to take their place in the ranks of the workers, the mental training which they have received will form a solid foundation upon which they can build. To the young people, facing the future, and may God bless every one of them and keep them from the snares and the pittfalls by which youth, perhaps more than they of maturer years is surrounded, we would urge go forth to your work with high ideals and the determination to do your level best in whatever field of activity you may be called to serve. The hope of the nation confronted with grave problems lies in the youth of today. Face the future hopefully, thoughtfully, prayerfully, with the determination to do your best. This is the message we all need today but especially the youth of the land, our youth, upon our hopes are set.
"THAT AMERICA MAY FIND HER SOUL"
A Unitarian minister speaking in Lincoln a few days ago stated that we should pray that "America may find her soul". This states a significant truth that we all need to lay to heart and not only lay to heart, but act upon it. America was, in our judgment, called into being for a high and holy purpose; the development among the nations of the earth of a true democracy, which means fraternity, or brotherhood, equality of opportunity for growth and expansion of all that is highest and best in humanity and justice for all. This involves the fullest development of our own national life and the broadest sympathy with and helpfulness towards all other nations of the world. Domestic strife founded upon racial and religious prejudice, threatens our national being and blights and dwarfs our soul. National selfishness would place upon us the suicidal belief that we are sufficient unto ourselves. This is all wrong. America is in grave danger of losing her soul. That Unitarian minister is right. We need to pray that "America may find her soul". Finding that the evils which now threaten us will vanish.
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
THE POLITICAL SITUATION
It is high time to think of the political situation, local and state. The primaries, by which the electorate shall make its voice heard concerning the character of those whom they desire to fill important public offices, are only a little more than a month distant. We should give careful thought to this matter. Nebraska is to elect national, state, county and city officials. It is of prime importance to all citizens that men of probity, character and ability should be chosen. The Monitor will try to guide, as far as we can and to the best of our ability, Nebraska voters of our group in making a wise choice. We hope that we will be able to so advise and centralize our people in Omaha, whose voting strength is above 6,000 that we can make it really count. This vote efficiently organized and intelligently used can wield an enormous influence. It is to be

hoped that in this campaign our people will show their ability to organize and act unitedly. The political situation calls for careful thought and united and intelligent action.
THE GOVERNORSHIP
The Monitor believes, as we announced several weeks ago, that in Adam McMullen of Beatrice, the electorate of Nebraska will find an honest, efficient, fair-minded and capable man for governor of the state. Mr McMullen served two terms in the house and one term in the senate, where he was found on the side of progressive legislation in the interests of the people. A native of New York, but reared and educated in Nebraska, where his interests lie, his views on the square deal for all American citizens are such as commend him to the favorable consideration of our people. He is well-known throughout the state, which is a strong factor in his favor.
SCRUGGS FOR LEGISLATURE
SCRUGGS FOR LEGISLATURE
Amos P. Scruggs, one of our well-known attorneys, has filed for the legislature from the Ninth Legislative District. The Monitor is glad that Mr. Scruggs has filed and we pledge him our unqualified and hearty support. The Monitor urged that some clean, capable, representative citizen file for the legislature, and we are therefore pleased that our advice has been followed. We had no preferred candidate. Mr. Scruggs suits us and he should suit all our citizens. The Ninth Legislative district is bounded by Bedford avenue on the North, Charles street on the South, the Missouri river on the East and Thirtieth street on the West. Within this district resides a large number of colored voters—more than enough to elect Mr. Scruggs. Organize, unite and support him and a member of our race will again take his place in the Nebraska State Legislature, of which the late Dr. M. O. Ricketts was many years ago an honored and influential member. Now is our chance to come back. Let every man and woman in the Ninth District work for Scruggs.
WHAT OTHER
EDITORS SAY
BILLY SUNDAY MAY BE KLANS-
MAN
A recent news item from Charleston, West Virginia, reveals the fact that Billy Sunday, pulpit barnstormer, has accepted a gift of $200 from the "invisible empire." The committee of presentation appeared in Billy's circus tent with ful regalia of their order to hand him the roll of greenbacks. By way of reply Mr. Sunday praised the Klan because "it stands for one hundred per cent Americanism, Christianity and white supremacy." If Billy is not a member of the Klan already, it would seem by his acceptance of their money and by his praise of their principles that he is at least open to the overtures of any kleagle who would care to suggest the formality of affiliation in fact.
The Colored brother who styles himself the "Black Billy Sunday" had better change his name to "Saturday" or "Monday" as a matter of principle.—Western Dispatch.

LAND CAUSES ARREST
Sapulpa, Okla., June 1.—William Peters, World War veteran, and holder of some of the richest oil lands in the state, must face trial in superior court for an alleged attack on his aged mother. Peters deeded some land, which he thought of little value, to his mother. Upon his return, he demanded the land back, but when his mother discovered he intended to sell the valuable estate for $200, she refused. He threatened her life, and was arrested by the police.

HOOP AND CANDLE
By BERTHA F. SEYMOUR
1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
When "Wille" Chalmers opened the door to "Billy" Chase's timid ring, Billy's frown darkened his eyes, which would not perceive Wille's smile of real welcome. The hand which opened the door was ornamented with a silver thimble, and from the left dangled a sofa pillow top, on hoops, the same which had taken so much of her attention on the occasion of his last call. Her smile, now mischievous, broadened, and he helplessly returned it. "Why so cross? You didn't have to come if you felt like that about it." She took his hat and led him into the parlor.
"If you liked to have me come a hundredth part as much as I like to come, you wouldn't meet me with that old fancywork, or (hopefully) you'd put it up as soon as I got here."
"Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do," quoted Willie. "Think how much prettier to book at than a gray stocking, for instance. Mamma says she always had her knitting work in her hands when she was out to her neighbors or when the other boys and girls were at her house. You see. I come naturally by my industry." "Yes, and wickedness," grouned Billy. "But I have prayed, Lord, keep me from being conceited, like that sufferable Maynard Mann, for in—" He stopped and glared less at the thought of Maynard than his own guardlessness. "Did you read a book the whole evening the last time he called?" "Why, yes," said Willie, in feigned innocence.
"I told him I was engaged for the evening when he telephoned he wanted to call. It was not true, but I didn't want him to call. I sick of him; he brags so. He strolled by, found I wasn't entertaining, 'happened in,' and found me engaged with a book. But not the whole evening. Mamma came in to inquire for Maynard's mother, and she was horrified. She said, "Will helmma, if your book is so absorbing, didn't you better take it to your room? I said 'Yes' in a faraway tone and actually stumbled over a hassock, on my way to the ball to carry out the absorption idea. Nobody but my brother would have been mean enough to tell you or—or anyone else." hastily.
"I like the candle in the window—" He drew near, but more quickly with drew as the needle, reversed, came in to dangerous proximity. "Please put your fancywork away, and I'll try not to put my arms around you."
"You'd better, and succeed. But you just imagine this is a stocking and I'm armed with four knitting needles, not so sharp, but dangerous to the eyes."
"I'd pull them out," savagely.
"Which would be very ungentlemanly. I'd get a book and get sent to my room for being unladylike."
"He groaned. Then, I'm remembering my candle, anyway. That brother of yours, than whom no other mortal is so mean, told me no one else is accorded that favor. I love your brother."
At last the embroidery was dropped unheeded, and only great seriousness was visible in her eyes. "Please," he pleaded, "please."
"Mr. Chase." At that he sat bolt upright, white to the lips. I'm not going to send you away," in quick sympathy, "yet. But I've seen so many mistakes. I mean to be sure The man who marries me will have to prove himself the only sort I would love."
"How?" he breathed, eagerly, leaning forward.
"I shall not tell you. He must really be that sort, not pretend to be, as he might if he knew what I liked in anybody."
He sighed. "Have I ever offended you?" he questioned, half fearfully.
"Not seriously." She smiled and blushed both, and both in spite of herself. "That torment has just come in." She clenched her fists, but he, unprevented by the embroidery needle, covered them both with his hands. "Don't worry," she said grimly, "I have come off second best too many times."
"There goes the up car, and you won't tell me how to win you, I must go. Good-night."
As he hurried into the street from the house walk, he noticed a woman's figure, weary and burdened with a heavy child on one arm and a large, unwieldy bundle on the other. The next instant he had seized both the bundle and the protesting baby, and was hurrying the woman toward the little waiting room a quarter of a mile distant, feeling that the delay would be just sufficient to make him lose his car.
He was right. The next hour he spent in the little station.
At last the next car came. But he would miss his light in the window. Of that he was sure. But he could not forbear a glance in that direction, as the car reached the gap between houses, through which he could see Willie's parlor window. And framed by the lace draperies he saw two candles and, joining them, a wooden hoop.

SUPREME ROYAL CIRCLE
COMING TO LINCOLN
The Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World, a fraternal insurance order operating in all the states of the Union and the District of Columbia, with a total membership of over 200,000 members and total assets exceeding $500,000, is organizing local bodies in Lincoln.

SQUAW. 42. HAD 24 CHILDREN
Mohawk Indian Woman Has Given Birth to Eight Sets of Twins.
Atlantic City, N. J.-Chief Probation Officer Henry Scull has before him a case of an Indian woman who has been a mother of 28 children. She is forty-two years old. He refuses to make public her name. Her husband is earning $15 a week.
"Mrs. Doe" is a descendant of the Mohawk Indians. When she was fifteen, according to the custom of her tribe, her husband was selected for her. He wils her cousin, Deerfoot. She did not quite fancy Deerfoot for a life partner and fled camp, later marrying again.
As years passed "Mrs. Doe" became the mother of six sets of twins. Subsequently she had seven more children. A wealthy aunt in Philadelphia is said to have been the intermediary whereby the children were taken to the tribe as they attained their tenth day of existence. The little ones were taken to Canada and reared by the Mohawks.
"Mrs. Doe" later on married a widower with four children. Two sets of twins and another child were born. Several of her children have died.

Make War on Ocean Ships for First Time in More Than Hundred Years.
Monterey, Mexico. — For the first time in more than one hundred years piracy is being practiced in the lower Gulf of Mexico bordering the coast of Tabasco and Campeche, according to reports to the Mexican government. It is stated that during the last few days several small steamships, including a coastwise mailboat, have been boarded by pirates and robbed of money and the more valuable parts of the cargo.
Bandits also are roaming part of Tabasco and Campeche in such numbers that farmers have been forced to abandon their crops and flee to towns for safety.

The
Ukraine
Types of Ukrainian Women
(Prepared by the National Geographic So-
cley, Washington, D. C)
In their latest uprisings against the soviet government, the Ukrainians or "Little Russians" are but justifying anew a reputation as fighters that has stuck to them since the dawn of European history. Theirs is one of the richest sections of the old Russian empire and not only have they been called upon to defend their title many times, but at others they have fared forth against the Poles, the Russians of the North, the Tatars and the Turks, seemingly for the mere joy of fighting.
In recent years the Ukraine has quieted down so that casual students at the time of the Russian revolution hardly realized that there was such a distinctive section left.
The Ukraine has had a troublesome career. The wild Scythians helped to feed ancient Greece and her colonies from its endless steppes. A thousand years ago Klev was already becoming an important place. When the Saxons still ruled England, in the long ago, the banks of the Dnieper were a meeting-place for many races, drawn thither by commerce. Religious differences had not yet arisen, for all were worshippers of Idols. Even then a Slav people were safely established here, sowing and reaping their harvests and sending their surplus grain down this river to the Black sea.
The name Ukraine means "bORDERMARches." For centuries it was the bulwark that protected Poland and Lithuania from the Tatars, Turks, and other migrating Orientalis. As a result it has had cruel taskmasters.
The native population was largely Cossacks—a wild and unruly people at that time. They were not originally a tribe, but were men who went forth into the wilderness to find freedom. The vast steppes, covered with grass to the height of a horse, within which a multitude of game lurked, lured them on.
There were Poles and Lithuanians and Russians and even Turks among them. They became marvelous shots, riders, and swimmers; their horses were famous for their swiftness and endurance. Their differences gradually blended in a unity of purpose and principle.
Crude Republican Government.
The name Zaporogians was applied to the community that was the heart and soul of the great Ukraine. Their government was crude, but very republican in form. Each year the old officers laid down their duties in the presence of a general assembly, even in that day called the rada, and new ones were then chosen.
As any member of the tribe could be elevated to the highest office, it permitted each one to aspire to this dignity. The highest official was known as the "hetman." If unpopular, he was sometimes choked to death—an effective, if cruel, displacement.
They carried on an intermittent warfare with Tatars on the east, stealing their cattle and occasionally sacking the unprotected towns. Again, their warring excursions would be directed against the Turks to the southeast, in the Balkans. When tired of this they turned northward to the Slavonic population.
These early Ukrainians were ever at war with somebody and for somebody. They fought with Poland against Russia, with Russia against Poland, with Poland against Turkey, with Turkey against the Tatars. They assisted in placing an unrocked monk upon the throne at Moscow. They were simply natural warriors who rejoiced in that occupation. The warrior shaved his head except for a wisp on the crown, which was allowed to grow long enough to wind around the ears.
Although professing the Orthodox Greek faith, they were the brigands and the corsairs of Christianity. Though nominally subjects of Poland for a long time, the Ukrainians were constantly involving Poland in trouble with the Tatar and Turkish rulers.
At times they even captured Polish peasants and sold them as slaves to the Tatars, who in turn passed them on to Persians.
Lovers of the Soil.
The Little Russians have worked hard and fought hard, and they have emerged a fairly united and still vigorous people. The population increases more steadily than that of Great Russia, as the people are greatly attached to home and do not care to wander far from their native villages. They are great lovers of the soil and cling to it with a passionate tenacity.
The Ukraine includes old southeastern Russia, with the exception of the province known as Bessarabia, which partakes of the character of the Balkan states and is peopled with Rumanians and Bulgarians. The great seaport of Odessa and the surrounding country were added to it under its new alignment after the break-up of the Russian empire.
The Ukraine does not reach much north of Kiev or east of Kharov, but it is a large state in itself, about as large as the German empire, with some twenty-five or thirty millions of people living in it.
The largest city of the real Ukraine is Kiev, around which national life centers probably because of the deep religious associations in connection with the shrines and many holy places. It was at one time the capital of all Russia. Kharkov is the leading commercial town in it unless Odessa, on the Black sea, is considered.
There is a lure about the limitless stretches of the steppes in the Ukraine. In wide, level spaces, or in gentle undulations, they reach out until sky and horizon meet in a barely perceptible line. Parts of it remind one very much of our own western prairies. In spring and winter it is an ocean of verdure, with the varied shades of green of the growing vegetation interspersed with flowers of many hues; later, in the autumn, after the crops are harvested, it becomes a brown waste of stubble and burned-up pastures; in winter it is a white, glistening expanse of snow.
Windmills in General Use.
Windmills are exceedingly common and dot the landscape on every hillside. Silvery gray they appear from age, as all are built of wood, and they are usually unpainted. Many of them seem ready to fall to pieces from age. The general use of windmills is due not so much to lack of water, for they will be found near streams, but the flatness of the country does not give enough fall to allow the use of waterpower. They are used to grind grain. Klev is the holy city of the Ukraine and hundreds of thousands of pilgrims visit it each year. The natural landscape is heightened at all times in its pictorial effect by the picturesque groups of pilgrims, staves in hand and wallets on backs, who may be seen clamoring up the hills, resting under the shadow of a hill, or reverently bowing the head at the sound of a convent bell.
The pilgrims made it a point to visit the ghastly catacombs in which are rows upon rows of the skulls of reputed monks. Access is had by narrow steps, and then through labyrinthine subterranean passages one descends deeper and deeper into the bowels of the earth, winding hither and thither along a pathway. Finally there begins a series of niches, in which repose the bodies of the saintly recluses. The pilgrims pass each holy tomb, reverently kissing the shrieved hands laid out by the monks for that purpose. They do not distinguisht between the holy and holier, but pay a tribute to each one impartially in order to concilate all.
Much contagion must be spread by this insanitary method of homage. No doubt many an infection, and possibly even great pestilences, could be traced directly to this spot where the indiscriminate osculation of church relics is practiced.

MECCA FOR VISITORS
Washington May Become "Convention City" of Country.
This Spring Is Proving Record Breaker for Delegations Visiting Capital—New Auditorium Planned to House Meetings.
Washington.—That Washington may soon win the title of "Convention city" is the prophecy of some old inhabitants. They say that convention meetings in the national capital grow in size and number every year. No one keeps an official record of the organizations and their delegates that visit the city, but according to street car conductors, White House guards and watchmen in the government buildings, this spring is proving a record breaker for delegations, writes Frederick J. Haskin in Chicago Daily News. There is no season of the year when Washington is not entertaining visitors who have gathered from the ends of the country to discuss by-laws and election of officers and to take a look at the government in action. But spring is the most favorable time for seeing Washington, and therefore spring always brings an unusually large assortment of convention followers.
The capital, with its trees bursting into pale green, its cherry blossom drive along the tidal basin, and its gay flower beds, is at its best. Later, Washington settles down to hot weather—though the chamber of commerce never admits it, and now and then displays impressive statistics and comparative reports of the weather bureau showing that the capital with its 105,000 trees, its 6,000 acres of parks and its river breeze is not so hot as it is sometimes represented.
In spite of those encouraging bulletins, spring continues to be the fashionable convention season.
Already, this year, the Daughters of the American Revolution and the Daughters of 1812 have advanced upon Washington with fluttering badges. The League of American Penwomen has gathered its collection of literary notables and celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary with a book fair, breakfast, carnival ball and other functions. And, with less pump and ceremony, 1,000 oculists and several other scientific groups have been conferring in odd corners of the city between banquets and important sessions.
Up to now, Washington has had to admit that its inadequate assembly halls were no attraction to conventions. The small and middle-sized halls about the city have sometimes failed to expand enough to accommodate all the delegates and visitors to an unusually popular convention.
Plans are under way now, however, for an auditorium which will seat 5,000 persons. It will be thoroughly modern.
This building is to be located opposite the interior building, three blocks from the White House.

Soldiers Offer Wages to Keep Their Regiment
New York.—The Twenty-second infantry, which opened the war against Germany by seizing German shipping in New York harbor, has been ordered broken up and scattered, in conformity with congressional economy, but the men themselves have offered to give up two months' pay to preserve the personnel of this, one of the oldest regiments of the army.
Maj. Gen. Robert L. Bullard, commanding the Second corps area, characterized the petitions of soldiers as "one of the most remarkable exhibitions of loyalty and esprit de corps that I have ever known."

Lone Star State on Maiden Voyage to Aid American Sea Commerce—Captain Engages Orchestra to Play Jazz.
New York—Keen competition has developed in the race for supremacy on the seas. The latest addition to the fleet that is keeping the American flag to the forefront in the sea commerce of the world is the steamship Lone Star State, recently delivered from her builders to the United States Lines, which has just sailed on her maiden voyage to Bremen.
In the Lone Star State, as in other passenger carrying vessels constructed under government supervision, the element of safety was of prime consideration. It declared that the new liner is practicely unsinkable. Originally planned as a transport and later designated to act as a hospital ship to bring back American wounded from France, the Lone Star State was built torpedo proof as nearly as human ingenuity could make her. The Lone Star has thirteen water-tight compartments. Shipping men who have inspected her have declared that even if she were cut in twain each bait would remain atop.
From the standpoint of comfort, nothing has been left undone to make her a luxurious vehicle for sea travel. She carries two classes of passengers, first and third. Full attention has been given to the culine and amusement facilities on the Lone Star State. The chefs and the kitchen personnel have been carefully selected with a view of rivaling the dining service of a first-class hotel ashore.
Captain Frank T. Burkhart, who is impresario as well as navigator, said before he sailed that he had adopted as his slogan "A bas ennul," which properly translated means a Filipino orchestra of twenty-two pieces. Every member of the orchestra saw service in the United States navy during the war. The captain said they were not only at home in jazz, but that they could venture as well into the realm of grand opera. He promised plenty of dancing on the decks in good weather.

Over what is believed to be the oldest monastery in the world now flies the American flag, the ancient refuge being reopened by the Near East relief administration as a station. It is one of the most important sites in Armenia, cradle of the Christian faith in that country, having been founded by St. Gregory, who introduced Christianity into Armenia in the Third century. It covers several acres and is surrounded by a great wall which has sustained many sieges since its oldest building was erected in 350 A. D.
See Wealth in Vanilla
According to government authority, the production of vanilla beans in Mexico may become a source of enormous revenue. It is asserted that no other country affords the opportunities for successful vanilla growing as Mexico. It already ranks ahead of all other countries in annual output of the beans, it is declared, although as yet very little attention has been paid to the industry. In the region around Tuxpan on the gulf coast the vanilla plant is found all through the tropical forests. It is a climbing orchid and does not require any attention beyond the gathering of the fragrant and valuable beans.

HOW SILLY!
By GLADIS F. PRAY
© 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.
It was a silly sort of a quarrel, but for the matter of that, all quarrelling is silly; and when two silly young people are concerned in it, it might be said that the quarrel is supremely silly. Besides, it was a breakfast table quarrel, and breakfast time is the very silvestre time of day to quarrel, especially if it be a fine spring day, as this was.
Young Jackie Jones (it might as well be Jackie Jones as what it really is) scrawled across at Mrs. Jackie Jones (hgr name for a whole month), who wept most unbecomingly—in fact, she sniffed—and expounded this law of his little universe:
"I will not countenance any such proceeding, Mrs. Jones. You must respect my wishes in this matter. This is my house" (s-h-h, it was two rooms and bath and kitchenette), "and here my word must stand as the supreme authority. If you do not think this a reasonable condition, you, of course, have the liberty of finding other conditions more suitable elsewhere. So long as this is your domicile, you must obey me."
Just then Mrs. Jackie Jones caught sight of her unbecoming red eyes and red nose in the side of her shiny new percolator, which, it must be confessed, did not decrease the unbecomingness to any degree. This reflection was so harrowing to her womanly feelings that she immediately forgot all her bridely resolution to never, never quarrel.
"All right then, Jackie Jones, I will go elsewhere, as you choose to call it, and I'm not going home to mother, either, to have that catty Martha whispering things about me. I'll go and live with Lucie Vampum and support myself by helping her dressmaker. Perhaps when I'm really gone, you'll value my affection."
Jackie regarded her with the same expression one would expect to find on the face of a prince of the blood royal. If suddenly informed by his consort that she had an idea of doing housework for a diversion.
"Lucie Vampum!" he managed to spurt out in highly concentrated horror, "you mean to say that you would go to live with that divorcee? That—that—that woman?"
"Yes, Lucie Vampum, that woman, and—"
"But, Bumble!" in his dismay at the dreadful prospect, he reverted to his usual name for his recalcitrant spouse, "you told me only about a week ago that you did not believe in divorce, and that you thought Lucie Vampum to be outside the consideration of anyone worth while." "Yes, I know; but that was before my own happiness was ruined," oh, so sadly, "that was before I lost my husband's love." "Now, Bumble, be reasonable—"
Nothing is so aggravating as to be adjured to reason in that particular tone of voice, especially to be so adjured by a person so very unreasonable as to quarrel with one.
"I am reasonable, Jackie Jones; I am not the unreasonable member of the family. I will not discuss it any more, and besides, if you don't hurry, you'll miss your car. When you come back this evening I'll be gone with everything that might remind you of me." Then, in a quavering voice, "G-o-o-d-by." (Sob.)
Poor Jackie lost all that superb dignity, acquired after painful and long observation of Mr. Quimby, his superior and the head clerk at the office, and he actually pleaded with his silly little wife. It was a desperate situation; he really might miss that car.
"Aw, Bunnie—" then he became incarcerated.
Bunnie began to relent. In fact, she had to relent. There remained only one minute of that five minutes for which she had quarrelled so bitterly with her Jackie; that five minutes that caused the quarrel in the first place. Oh. I forgot that you didn't know what caused it! That part of it was so silly I am quite ashamed to tell you about it.
You see, Mrs. Jackie had waked Jackie up a full five minutes of seven to tell her once more that he would never cease to love her. It was not really necessary for Jackie to wake until seven, and his love very nearly did cease then and there. Had he not told her at least ten thousand times with variations in the past month?
Now, if the quarrel and its cause were silly, what must you think of the reconciliation? My courage fails me. You will simply imagine it. It ended up by his telling her he loved her and would never cease to love her six times more, and in spite of all he caught his car. The silly little Mrs. Jackie had set the clock ahead five minutes the night before.
Brown Microphone Relay
This is a modification of the type used by the Royal Air Force and the Admiralty. It is inclosed in a polished teak case. On the radio side it has a resistance of 4,000 ohms and has a transformer mounted on a separate base with condenser, suitable for telephones of 120 ohms resistance. This is a highly efficient instrument, especially for the amplification of feeble signals, and enables the operator to dispense with the use of vacuum tube amplifiers. Whereas the current consumed with tube amplifiers is considerable, the current required for the microphone relay is minute, being approximately only 25 milliamperes supplied from a 6-volt dry battery.—Scientific American.

MUCH GOOD IN HEARTY LAUGH
Beneficial Effect of Merriment May Be Said to Be Both Physiological and Psychological.
We find the key to the true theory, if we ask—What does laughter do for us? What are its effects or consequences? Well, obviously we enjoy laughter; it does us good to have a good laugh. The fact is notorious, writes William McDougall, in Scribner's. And when we feel depressed and moody, we welcome and seek the situations, objects or persons that will make us laugh. Laughter prevents (for the moment at least) gloomy thinking and melancholy brooding, no matter how induced. How does it achieve this beneficial effect? In two ways—one purely physiological, the other more psychological. Physiologically its immediate effect is to stimulate the respiration and the circulation, to raise the blood pressure and to send a fuller stream of blood to the head and brain; as we see in the ruddy face of the hearty laugher. Psychologically it works by breaking up every train of thinking and every sustained activity, bodily or mental. Here presumably Spencer's theory finds a partial and inverted application. The nervous channels of laughter drain off energy from all others; but they do not serve merely as channels through which surplus energy may be got rid of as a waste product; rather, they were created or evolved in order that by draining off energy, they might prevent its application in other directions. Laughter is essentially relaxation from all effort, a relaxation whose mechanical effects bring speedy recuperation of energy, and which enables us to start afresh on life's tasks briskly and undismayed, unharmed by the past. Being so being, it is obvious why we seek the objects and situations that make us laugh; we seek the inducible, the grotesque, the absurd, the ridiculous not because they are in themselves pleasing, but because they make us laugh; and laughter does us good, makes us feel better and brighter, frees us from depression, prevents our thinking of depressing things.
