That the new policy of the Omaha Daily News in establishing a branch office manned by colored employees in the northern part of the city is meeting with general approbation and winning friends for the publication is evidenced by the following letters, which are highly appreciated by the News which is anxious to serve the best interests of all groups of Omaha citizens: Omaha, Neb., June 2, 1922. Editor Omaha Daily News: The N. A. A. C. P. at its regular weekly meeting, May 28th, 1922, took cognizance of your establishment of a Branch Station of your paper at 24th and Burdette streets, with Mr. C. C. McDonald in charge, and instructed me to communicate with you and thank you for this show of interest and opportunity. We were pleased to note, also, that you have in this way provided opportunities for colored boys which have heretofore been closed to them. We wish to assure you we will put forth every effort to help make this station the banner station of Omaha, in service and regularity by those in charge. Yours in a spirit of co-operation, Omaha Branch N. A. A. C. P. Per HENRY W. BLACK, President. Omaha Daily News, Omaha, Nebraska. Gentlemen—The Omaha Civic Committee hereby thanks the Omaha Daily News for its establishment of a branch station at 24th and Burdette streets. This is a just recognition of the colored people and shows a desire on the part of the News to co-operate with them. Mr. C. C. McDonald, a well known colored man you have placed in charge at the station, is, as you know, quite satisfactory to us. Already we have observed, Mr. McDonald has chosen colored boys to work out of the branch of which he is in charge. It is our earnest hope that this is but the beginning of a better understanding and greater co-operation between us, to the end that the whole community will be helped. We are sure that the colored people will respond to this attitude of growing helpfulness by their support. We are equally sure that The News will contribute to the growth of this spirit by its fair treatment of our group. In this spirit we shall be glad to do all we can for your paper in this helpful and co-operative way. We will be glad to have the colored people know our attitude in this regard. Yours in a spirit of co-operation, The Omaha Civic Committee, Per W. F. BOTTS, Chairman HIGH SCHOOL CADETS Nearly four hundred Central High school cadets left Tuesday for their annual encampment at Valley, Nebr. The camp has been named for the deservedly popular principal of Central Camp Masters. Eight of our boys are at the camp. They are Sergeant Worthington L. Williams; Privates Charles Ennis and Eddis Saunders with the band, and Privates Weldon Solomon, Gerald Adams, Floyd Marey, Malcolm Chambers, Henry and Edward Gordon. Next Thursday is visitors' day. MEN'S CLUB MEETS MONDAY The Men's Club of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon will hold its regular monthly meeting at St. Philip's Rectory, Monday night, June 12th, at half past 8 o'clock. THE MONITOR CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP / THE DEACON OMAHA, NEB. Church and Rectory of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, built during the pastorate of the Rev. John Albert Williams. Property valued at $25,000 and free from all incumbrance. The National Association met at St. Philip the Deacon church last Sunday afternoon. Communications were red from the national office urging the branch to start the spring drive in earnest. Excerpts were read from periodicals throughout the country showing the drive being made by the Ku Klux Klan which showed that those who think it dead may have occasion to think again. Late last Saturday night over 35,000 witnessed the initiation of about 3,000 in Chicago alone. A letter was read from Congressman Jefferies asking the privilege to address the local branch before the primaries. The matter was referred to the president. All present pledged their support and stated that they would hold the fort, as best they could, until recruits were forthcoming. Mr. John C. Barret, who is interested in the passage of an old age pension law, will address the branch next Sunday afternoon at the Interdenominational church, 26th between Franklin and Decatur. The executive board met Monday evening and are now arranging to try to awaken an interest of the people who stand so badly in need of the association. Don't forget the meeting next Sunday. Bring someone along with you. MISS LAWSON STILL LEADS Interest is picking up in the popularity contest which will end soon. Miss Bertha Lawson who entered last week and jumped at once into first place still leads. She and her friends are evidently in earnest. Friends of contestants should send in coupons promptly, signing their names in proper space. Here is how the contestants stand: Bertha Lawson, 2624 North Twenty-fifth street, 95 votes. Dorothy Williams, 1119 No. 21st street, 56 votes. Lovetta Busch, 5219 South 29th street, 50 votes. Audrey Trueheart, 1443 So. 17th street, 23 votes. Cerelda Tucker, 2508 M street, So. Side, 15 votes. Ireta Walker, 1926 So. 14th street, 9 votes. Otis Watson, 2925 Grant street, 9 votes. FOSTER FILES FROM NINTH Dr. Harry A. Foster, who is a veteran member of the legislature, has filed from the Nintn Legislative District and desires to announce this fact to his friends. He has always been popular with colored voters for his fair-mindedness and square dealing both in his legislative capacity and in his business relations. Mrs. Levirt is very ill at her home on Seward street. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor 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. Ferguson vs Gies, 82 Mich. 358; N. W. 718." THIRTY-ONE YEARS IN THE MINISTRY Sunday, June 11, which is the Feast of St. Barnabas, will be the thirty-first anniversary of the Rev. John Albert Williams' entrance into the Christian ministry. Graduating from the Seabury Divinity School, Faribault, Minn., June 3, 1891, he came to Omaha and passed his canonical examinations before the examining chaplains of the diocese, the Rev. Dr. Robert Doherty, Rev. A. B. Spaight and Dean Gardner, all since deceased, and on St. Barnabas Day of that year. Mr. Williams was ordained to the sacred order of deacons in St. Barnabas Church by the Rt. Rev. George Worthington, S. T. D. , in the presence of a large congregation of clergy and laity. Dean Gardner presented him for ordination and the Rev. John Williams, rector of St. Barnabas', preached the sermon. Four months later he was advanced to the priesthood by the same bishop in St. Matthias' Church, his fellow ordinants being Rev. Irving P. Johnson, now bishop of Colorado, and Rev.Paul Mat- OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 9th, 1922 P. thews, now bishop of New Jersey. Father Williams has declined calls to several of the leading eastern churches and has been unquestionably loyal to Omaha. He has been active in civic and diocesan affairs, serving as assistant secretary of the diocese for twenty-three years and as Secretary-Registar for two. For ten years he was the editor of The Crozier, the diocesan publication, and for several years has been historiographer and one of the examining chaplains of the diocese. For seven years he has been editor of The Monitor which is recognized as one of influential weeklies of the country. It grew out of his little parish paper which he published for several years because of the demand for a local weekly publication devoted to the interests of colored Americans.

Ware has returned from a business trip to Kansas and Oklahoma where he was called on legal business. He visited Kansas City and Coffeyville, Kans., and Nowata, Okla. He reports a pleasant trip and general prosperity among our people in those sections. He also visited Kansas City, Mo., on his return trip. Principles Which 'Kluxies' Would Put Into Practice in Nebraska Would Destroy the Commonwealth Vol. VII—No. 49 Principles W Would Put in Nebraska stroy the C It seems that "our friends," the Kluxes, are out after some free advertising, which it may be necessary for us to give them, for from their New York office they are writing several of our race newspapers, as they did the Monitor two weeks ago. In most of these letters there are thinly velled threats, adroitly implied, rather than frankly stated, which, of course, would be in violation of postal regulations. Some of our contemporaries are not so self-restrained as the Monitor has been in expressing their opinion of "the poison pen" letters of the slit-pillow-slip and sheet-shrouded, strife-stirring skulkers who prostitute the name American. Americans, as a class, are brave men, not sneaking, skulking cowards, who are afraid to let their identity be known. Americans, who are red-blooded men, and not ill-livered cowards, who may have been drawn into the Kluxes, as soon as they learn of their principles and tactics withdraw from the organization Nebraskans to the number of 1100 were drawn into this organization before the expose of the New York World a few months ago. Omaha had a Klavern numbering 300; Lincoln one numbering 400. How many Kluxies are in Omaha now, we do not know. That there are some goes without saying. Some of them read the Monitor. But The Monitor has too high an opinion of the intelligence, morality and patriotism of the white citizenry of this state to believe that any appreciable number of them will subscribe to the tenets of any organization that would set citizen against citizen, and neighbor against neighbor, on the grounds of race, nationality, creed or color. This is precisely what the Kluxie creed does. For let no one be deluded by the belief that in advocating "white supremacy, one hundred per cent Americanism and Christianity"-God save the mark—the hooded hoodlums are striking at black Americans only and seeking to array black against white and white against black, which of course of itself would be pernicious enough and can only make for strife and discord. Their programme is far more comprehensive than this. It aims to set Protestant against Roman Catholic; gentile against Jew; American of foreignborn parentage against native-born. How long could American civilization endure, if the principles of the Kluxies were to obtain? America's stability rests upon concord, goodwill and cooperation between all classes of people who are to be welded into a homogeneous nation under the Stars and Stripes and those who would forment strife and racial and religious hatred and discord are traitors. That our readers may know how vicious are the principles advocated by the Kluxies for Nebraska, perhaps not to be brought about by force, but by strategy and propoganda, we submit the fourteen resolutions, adopted by every Klavern in Nebraska in the spring of 1921, and known among Klansmen as "the 14 points." Their authenticity and accuracy are vouchered for by an ex-member of the Klan. The Fourteen Points 1. Favoring the Reed - Norville Language Bill. 2. Favoring the Smith-Towner Educational Bill. 3. Favoring adoption of open Bible in Public Schools in Nebraska. 4. Jim Crow jaws governing public conveyances in Nebraska. 5. Abolition of Secret Societies --- Whole Number 360 OF ED which 'Kluxies' Into Practice a Would De- ommonwealth amongst Negroes in Nebraska. 6. Investigation by the Government into the alleged Oath of the Knights of Columbus. 7. Control of the ballot insofar as possible for the prevention of election to office of Catholics, Jews and Foreign Born Citizens. 8. Not to buy goods of Jews, Catholics and Foreign Born. 9. The immediate withdrawal of all charge accounts of Klausmen from the business places of Jews, Catholics and Foreign Born. 10. Employment by Klausmen of Catholics and Jews only as business policy warranted it. 11. Forbidding the employment of Negroes under any circumstances. 12. The banishment of undesirable citizens from all communities in Nebraska. 13. Favoring suspension of Emigration to American shores. 14. To make the Klan an obstruction in the way of Catholic power and permanence in Nebraska. While there may be room for an honest difference of opinion as to the wisdom, justice and expediency of some of these "points," we seriously doubt that anyone but an imbecile can fail to see that, taken as a whole, they spell DESTRUCTION to American ideals and institutions; they would make former friends, acquaintances and neighbors Ishmaelites. So abhorrent to true Americanism is this hooded cobra that it will die from the virus of its own bite. "White Supremacy," which we are advised is the slogan of this organization, can only be maintained by being morally and intellectually supreme; it cannot be maintained by breeding hatred and distrust between children of a common Father, as the application of these fourteen points would do. "White Supremacy" can only be maintained by obeying the injunction of an ancient Hebrew prophet, an honored representative of one of the races which the Klansmen now seek to injure, which runs: "What doth the LORD, REQUIRE of THEE, but to love mercy and to do justice and to walk humbly with thy God." If the white man in America and elsewhere will do this, he need have no fear of losing his supremacy. If he does not do this his supremacy will pass from him and no organization can prevent it, certainly none formed upon the lises of the "Invisible Empire." DAN BUTLER WANTS TO BE GOVERNOR Dan B. Butler who has been for several years one of the best City Commissioners Omaha has ever had and consenquently was high man on each election day has filed for governor on the democratic ticket. Mr. Butler will undoubtedly be a strong candidate. He is unquestionably the strongest man the democrats could select. REDECORATE THEIR SUITE OF OFFICES Dr. W. W. Peebles, the well-known dentist, and Dr. L. E. Britt, the well-known physician and surgeon, have recently decorated their suite of offices at Thirteenth and Farnam Sts., over the Pope drug store. The work was done by A. F. Peoples, painter and decorator. The reception room is done in buff and green; the private offices and hall in buff and mahogany red. The suite presents an attractive and artistic appearance. THE MONITOR Published every Friday at Omaha, Nebraska, by the Monitor Publishing Company.

MEMBER OF THE KNOPPING BROTHERS FIRST IN SERVICE THERE is no more beautiful place on earth than a Christian home. But the Christian home, where father and mother gather their children around them, for daily family prayer is considered old-fashioned in these days. The bustle and hurry of modern life crowds out family prayer. We would that our people would again become old-fashioned enough to find time at least once a day, if not in the morning, then at least at night to unite in family prayer in their homes. The rush and hurry of modern life make men, women and children nervous and irritable, and inconsiderate of one another. A few minutes spent daily in common family prayer would prove a great corrective of many ills which now threaten many homes. GROUNDLESS FEARS WE were told the other day by one of our friends, a man who stands high in the commercial life of this city, that another business man who is active in civic betterment told him that the colored people in the northern part of Omaha had a secret "Soviet organization". The statement amused us. Of course, it is not true, but, if it were true, what of it? Haven't colored folk as much right to have a "secret Soviet organization" to thwart organized opposition to them, as white folk have to have a "Secret Soviet organization" to foster opposition to black folk? Of course, they have. But it speaks eloquently for the good sense and generous hearts of the colored people that, while they know that certain emisaries of a secret organization to quote their own language "are checking up on you (them) while you are dreaming and having a good time", that no agitators have been able to organize them for any secret reprisal or to make them disqualify to this country's best interests. They are not asleep, by any means, but keenly alert. They believe, and rightly, that their chief strength lies in strict adherence to law and order and reliance upon the inmate though latent sense of justice in the bosom of the American people. That they are reading and thinking is true. But that any number of them are even thinking about plotting and reprisal is absurd. So those who are exercised about a "secret Soviet organization among Negroes in Omaha", are afraid where there is no cause for fear. Moreover, if the colored American is treated decently and not as a pariah to be segregated, jimcrowed, exploited and de-Americanized by a subtle process of separation and limitation there is not the slightest possibility of a "secret Soviet organization" among them in Omaha or anywhere else in the United States. WHY FIDDLE? IT impresses us that the judiciary committee of the senate are fiddling over the Dyer bill. Senator Borah says he favors a federal antilynching bill, but wants to so amend the present bill that there will be no question as to its constitutionality. As eminent lawyers as Senator Borah content that the bill is constitutional. But whether it is or not is not for either the House or the Senate to determine but the Supreme Court. What the Senate should do is to pass the Bill and leave its constitutionality up to the Supreme Court where it really belongs. This alleged anxiety, lest it shall be found unconstitutional strikes us as being insincere. The opposition in the Senate can rest content that if the measure is unconstitutional the Supreme Court will have no hesitancy in saying so. Let the judiciary committee stop fiddling and harping on one string. It makes a discord of insincerity. Pass the bill. Its friends are willing to run the risk of its being constitutional. --- October 7, 2, 1915, at the Postoffice at 3, 1879. RRT WILLIAMS, Editor. Manager and Associate Editor. Te Editor, Lincoln, Neb.

THE ACTIVITIES OF COLORED CITIZENS Seventh Article in the Colored Com mercial Club Series. By H. J. PINKETT. IN THE SCHOOLS The debt of the world to the learning and the learned men of the past is now acknowledged by scholars everywhere. Long before Aristotle founded the Grecian academy great seats of learning had flourished under black masters. These passed as the Greek and Roman passed; all, perhaps, to reappear. Indeed, it now seems well settled that the rulers of Abyssinia are the direct descendants of the Queen of Sheba. In this black principality there has been preserved the largest library in the world, wherein reposes a record of the learning of antiquity. Thus, it would seem that as in the case of Greece and Rome, all that they had developed was not lost. And it may very well be that some day there will be an African Renaissance far exceeding in importance that of Italy. In this black empire the school system is purely Negroid; that is, it is not borrowed from Europe or Asia, yet thousands of these men have quickly absorbed western education and the country gradually being equipped with modern western machinery. When Horace Mann, the father of the free public school system in Massachusetts, put his great plan into effect the colored people were not in a position to share their blessings; they were chattel slaves. Nor did they obtain this rare privilege, except in a few isolated cases, until after the civil war and the establishment of the reconstruction governments in the southern states. Then happened what has often been described as the finest human service the world had known. The North that had given a million of her sons on the Altar of Freedom, and billions in treasure, sent hundreds of the flower of her manhood and womanhood into the south to teach colored youth; and they poured out their treasure that the sacrifices they had made in the war might not be lost. Out of this effort came Howard University, Lincoln University, Fiske, Atlanta, Morehouse, Biddle Meharry Medical College, Clak, Hampton and many other smaller schools which dotted the southland like oases in a desert. Later came Tuskogee and many smaller schools. Teacher had to be trained and it has been from these schools and similar ones that most of the leaders have been drawn to teach and train colored youth. In the north where the people were more enlightened and, therefore, more free, colored children and white children attended the same schools and have been taught for many years by both white and colored teachers. In Cleveland, Ohio, there are about sixty colored teachers teaching in the mixed schools, some of them in schools where there are no colored children. Detroit, Michigan, has thirty-three colored teachers in her mixed schools. Buffalo, New York, has two in hers; Worcester, Mass., has five, one of them a principal; in the Lennox Avenue School in New York City, thirteen of the eighty teachers are colored: Cincinnati and Columbus, O.. have many colored teachers; Chicago, Ill., has many in her schools; Philadelphia has two hundred and numerous other cities employ colored teachers in the mixed schools. Omaha formerly had at least one colored teacher in the schools. The first one was Miss Lucy Gamble, now the wife of the Rev. John Albert Williams, and the second and last one was Miss Eula Overall, now the wife of Dr. L. E. Britt. ```markdown ``` Raising the Family- According to the dope Gideon ought to be right I STILL MAINTAINS I CAN'T SEE NO SENSE O'SPENDIN' 49 FOR A OLD BUSTED WOTCHA CALLIT LIKE THAT- THAT'S JUST IT: THE OLDER AND OFTEN THE MORE THERE IN PIECES THE MORE VALIDABLE THEY ARE!

An effort is now under way to place colored teachers in the schools. It is being urged as a matter or social justice and wisdom. There has been given from no quarter any reason why colored teachers should not be appointed, but every reason has been presented why an enlightened and free community should appoint them. Between fifteen hundred and two thousand colored children attend the public schools, and, all things considered, they are doing fine ork. Many of them excel in scholarship and athletics and n the cadets. But after they graduate, WHAT? To the girls, the board of education and the superintendent of public instruction say: You may go to school, master the curriculum, reflect credit upon the schools by your ability, become, in every way, fit to teach the youth, but we will not appoint you to teach, because YOU ARE COLORED GIRLS. Sor the boys, it is equally bad. Some day, when we become truly enlightened and free, these little, pitiful prejudices which thwart social justice, will pass away. Then we shall witness the passing of the CONTRADICTION of men·who do the world's BIG things also doing the LITTLE ones. Too much praise cannot be given to the teachers in our schools for the work they do in teaching colored youth. They do as well as could be wished for on the part of any teachers anywhere, similarly placed. But three colored teachers in our public schools would be a very great contribution toward the proper growth of our group. We shall continue to urge their appointment, because it is best from all points of view that they should be made. To colored youth it should be stated again and again—take advantage of the free schools, for the coming years will need all you will have to give to aid in the solution of all our problems. Above everything else, let us try to teach understanding between the races. This must be based upon knowledge and not upon prejudice, for prejudice is one of the worst forms of ignorance. It is here, IN THE SCHOOLS, that these hateful things should be banished, to the end that we may work together to make of our city a place where all of us may live in amity and peace. Let us have done with war and hate. Let us have peace, and good will, and understanding and cooperation. The schools should be the bulwark of all of these things.

Mrs. Jack Pinkston's School of Music will have its opening on June 12th from 4 to 9 p.m. An invitation is hereby extended to the public to attend and inspect the school. For the comprehensive study of practical and theoretical music, either as a profession or an element of culture, this school is founded. The study of music for a child is as important in character building as any other subject in his school curriculum. The privileges of lectures, concerts, recitals and the daily associations are invaluable advantages to the music student. This music school will afford pupils the environment and atmosphere so necessary to a musical education. The student's capacity sets the only limitation to his progress. Piano Playing Course. The entire course is "different", because of the new viewpoint and a new presentation. The French System of Music Study for Advanced Pupils. The results obtained in this course lead to rapid progress in the acquirement of a broad and comprehensive technique. Advanced interpretation, teacher's normal training, etc., will be given. To pupils of intermediate grade and to those who have had previous study, special attention will be given to overcome bad habits and to improve the good qualities that have been acquired. The French System of Music Study for Beginners. This course is open only to pupils five, six, seven and eight years of age, who have never had piano study. After an examination as to the intelligence of the pupil, twelve will be selected to begin the course. In this course there will be a scholarship given each year to the pupil who has done the best work. The Solfeggio Course. This is a very valuable course for musicians, teachers and pupils, regardless of what instruments they play. This course is especially valuable for singers. The study of Solfeggio is a wonderful training for mental outliving and it enables one to read music by sight in the quickest possible time. Magnificent results are achieved from the study of Solfeggio for members of choirs, choruses, etc. The special course in rhythm is especially valuable for accompanists, members of bands and orchestras. All lessons in this course are conducted in classes. Special Course in Accompaniment and Ensemble Playing. Is there anything more desired in a community than good accompanists? All pupils in this course will have the advantage of ensemble and accompaniment playing with singers and with various instruments at each lesson, and at class lessons given twice every month. There will be three recitals a year. One recital of the entire piano class, one recital for advanced pupils, and one theoretical demonstration of ensemble playing and accompaniment, class drill in rhythm, solfege, hand culture, ear training and transposition. There will be a prize given to the best pupil in these subjects. The theoretical demonstration will always end with a piano contest, from which the advanced pupils will be selected to perform. First and second prizes, in gold, are given to the winners of the contest. All pupils will be given special attention and trained to become teachers and soloists, leading to certificates and diplomas. Pupils in all courses will have the advantages of class demonstrations, class work and recitals. Mrs. Pinkston, the directress, graduated from the New England Conservatory of Music, under Mr. Alfred De Voto. Mrs. Pinkston recently studied under Isador Phillip, in the Conservatory of Music, Paris, France. Terms for admission to the school will be given upon application. Mrs. Pinkston will accept concert engagements after September 1, 1922. She will also "write up" concerts and recitals, if notified one week in advance.

German Company to Build Giant Airship for Government. On This American Ship Germans Place All Their Hopes for Progress of German Science in Lighter-Than-Air Aviation. Friedrichshafen. The great hangar of the Zeppelin works at Friedrichshafen, now empty save for skeleton fragments of condemned aerial battleships, has been saved from destruction by the intervention of the United States. The company soon will begin to build a new airship for the United States government. This masterpiece is meant to prove, after the collapse of English and Italian airships bought by the United States, that lighter-than-air aviation under the guidance of German science, can be made safe and profitable. The hangar, the only one remaining in Germany capable of constructing a Zeppelin of the largest type, stood long under condemnation. At one time the sentence was sealed and the Germans were instructed to proceed with the work of destruction. But they delayed, for they had inklings of a curious drama that was being played in Paris. It concerned compensation for the Zeppelins willfully destroyed by the Germans during the armistice, which were forfeit to the victorious powers. One of these was to have gone to the United States. "We will accept money compensation for these ships," said the allies to Germany. "And now proceed to destroy your hangars. So that is settled." "Not at all," was the word from America. "We have no use for money. We should like our compensation in kind. Germany shall build us a giant Zeppelin, bigger than the world has ever seen before." The allies offered the usual assorted objections, but in the end the United States got approximately what it wanted and is to have a 70,000 cubic meter ship, about the size and design of the largest Zeppelin in use during the war. On this American ship, and not on the much-advertised permission to begin general airship construction, the Germans place all their hopes for the progress of German science in lighter-than-air aviation. For the general permission to build is limited to machines of 30,000 cubic meters. These can remain 24 hours in the air with a small cargo of passengers, or two hours with a large cargo. But airship aviation, to be commercially profitable, must transport large cargoes on flights of 24 hours or more. Hence, as the Germans point out, the allies' permission amounts to permission to build ships which cannot possibly compete with foreign airships, and hence which nobody will order. The single exception made in favor of America is the slender thread on which the future of German aviation hangs. Scientists here are determined that this ship shall be so much better than anything ever built before that the world will decide it cannot afford to scrap the Zeppelin works.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society, Washington, D.C.) Though the World war changed the temporal map of Arabia, raising the narrow strip of the Hejaz, formerly a Turkish province, into a kingdom, it did not alter the place in the world of Mecca, chief of the Hejaz cities. That mystic city under Arab control still is the center of all Mohammedan thought and action as it was under the Turks. The importance of Mecca is not due to its resident population of perhaps 100,000, but to the more than 200,000 pilgrims who visit it each year from every nation of Islam. Statistics are hopelessly contradictory and confusing regarding the number of annual visitors. According to Turkish official estimates, in 1907 there were no less than 280,000 pilgrims. It is a marvel how so many thousands can find food, shelter, and, most of all, drink, in such a desert city. The religious capital of Islam, and now the temporal capital of the new kingdom of the Hejaz, affords an index to the growth and strength of Mohammedanism in various parts of the world, for one can rightly gauge the strength of religious server in this great non-Christian faith by the number of those who go on pilgrimage. From Java, Bengal, West Africa, Cape Colony and Russia, as well as from the most inaccessible provinces of China, they come every year and return to their native land—if they escape the hardships of travel—to tell of the greatness and glory of their faith, however much they may have been disappointed in the actual condition of the city and its sacred buildings. When we consider Mecca, Mohammed's words of prophecy in the second chapter of his book seem to have been literally fulfilled: "So we have made you the center of the nations that you should bear witness to men." The old pagan pantheon has become the religious sanctuary and the goal of universal pilgrimage for one-seventh of the human race. From Sierra Leone to Canton, and from Tobolsk to Cape Town, the faithful spread their prayer carpets, build their houses (in fulfillment of an important tradition, even their outhouses!), and bury their dead oriented toward Mecca. If the old world could be viewed from another planet, its details disclosed, the observer would see concentric circles of living worshipers covering an ever-widening area, and one would also see vast areas of Moslem cemeteries with every grave dug with its main axis toward the sacred city. Its Mysteries Lald Bare. Mecca is no longer a veiled city. A score of intrepid travelers have unveiled it. From Bartema, Wild and Joseph Pitts to Burton, Burckhardt, Hurgronje and Courtelliemont, they took their lives in their hands, herded with strange companions, underwent untold hardships, and by luck or pluck came scatheless out of this lion's den of Islam. According to Doughty, scarcely a pilgrimage takes place without some persons being put to death as intruding Christians. An educated and pious Moslem in Cairo admitted recently that when he went on pilgrimage and took pictures of the city his life was endangered more than once by the fanaticism of the inhabitants. However, there are many who believe that the establishment of the new kingdom will mean the removal of restrictions against non-Moslems. The mixture of races brought about in Hijas province for so many centuries by the pilgrimages has not been conductive to morals or good government. No one who has read the account of social life at Mecca, as given by Hurgronje and other travelers, including Moslem pilgrims themselves, can doubt the need for social reform in that city. Mecca is the microcosm of Islam in its religious life and aspirations. According to Hurgronje: "It is Islam, the official religion, which brings together and amalgamates all the heterogeneous constituents of Meccan life. On the other hand, this society itself welds into a chaotic whole the prejudices and superstitions of all countries." In other words, Mecca is the sink-hole of Islam. All witnesses agree as to the fragrant immorality which pervades the streets, and even the mosque, of the sacred city, the newvance of the slave trade, the feeing of pilgrims, and the corpur- tion of the late Turkish government. The post office at Mecca, under Turkish regime, was certainly unique. Sacks of letters were thrown out into the narrow street leading to the post office, and there sorted by the pilgrims themselves, who opened them and took their letters and those of their friends also. A similar system prevailed at Medina, Yenbo and Jiddah, King Husein of Hejaz, however, has taken steps to join the International Postal Union, and has had stamps printed in Egypt bearing the inscription "Hezaj Post." Foreigners Handle Its Commerce. The commerce of Mecca is entirely in the hands of foreigners, mostly Indians, who sell roaries, carpets and silk stuffs. One of the main occupations of the silversmiths is the manufacture of rings, which are supposed to be constructed from silver that was once part of the sacred temple doors, and are reputed to be an effective remedy for certain ills. Most of the natives, however, earn their living as guides to the pilgrims and grow wealthy during the season. Sacred Mosque and Ka'aba. The sacred mosque, Mesjid el Haram with the Kala'a as its center, is located in the middle of the city. Mecca lies in a hot, sandy valley, absolutely without verdure and surrounded by rocky, barren hills, destitute of trees or even shrubs. The valley is about 300 feet wide, and 4,000 feet long, and slopes toward the south. The Kala'a, or House of God (Belt Allah), is located in the bed of the valley. All the streets slope toward it and it stands, as it were, in the pit of a theater. The Ka'aba proper stands in an oblong space 250 spaces long and 200 broad, surrounded by colonnades, which are used as schools and as a general meeting place for pilgrims. The outer inclosure has 19 gates and six minarets; within the inclosure is the well of Zem Zem, the great pulpit, the stalactase used to enter the Ka'aba door, which is high above the ground, and two small mosques called El Kubattain. The remainder of the space is occupied by pavements and gravel, where prayers are said by the four orthodox sects, each having its own allotted space. In the southeast corner of the Ka'aba, about five feet from the ground, is the famous Black Stone, the oldest treasure of Mecca. The stone is a fragment resembling black volcanic rock, sprinkled with reddish crystals. Arriving within a short distance of Mecca, orthodox pilgrims, male and female, put off their ordinary clothing and assume the lhram, which consists of two pieces of white cloth, one tied around the loins and the other thrown over the back. Sandals may be worn, but not shoes, and the head must be uncovered. After certain ablutions the pilgrim enters the mosque, kisses the Black Stone, and runs around the Ka'aba seven times. After special prayers he proceeds to the place of Abraham, then drinks from the holy well, and once more kisses the Black Stone. After this follows the race between the two hills, Safa and Mirwa. Little books of ritual prayers to be used by the pilgrims are sold to everyone, and there is great punctilliness in observing every detail correctly. On the seventh day of the pilgrimage there is a sermon from the grand pulpit. On the eightth day the pilgrim goes to Mina, three miles distant from Mecca, and spends the night. The next morning he leaves for Arafat, another hill a short distance from Mecca, and the following day is the great day of sacrifice, simultaneously observed throughout the whole Moslem world. Early in the morning the pilgrims go to Mina, where they are three pillars, called the Great Devil, the Middle Pillar, and the First One. Here each pilgrim flings seven pebbles to show his hatred of Satan and his love of God. He then performs the sacrifice of a sheep, goat or camel, according to his means, the victim being placed toward the Ka'aba and the pilgrim plunged into the animal's throat with the cry "Allahu Akbar." This ceremony concludes the pilgrimage proper and the pilgrim then begins his journey back home. NEW HUNT FOR AMBROSE SMALL NEW HUNT FOR AMBROSE SMALL Sisters of Missing Canadian Theater Magnate Not Satisfied With Work of Police. DISAPPEARED TWO YEARS AGD Whole North American Continent Covered and Even Psychics Consulted in Search for Man Who So Strangely Vanished. Toronto, Ont. — The world-wide search for Ambrose Joseph Small, millionaire Toronto chain-theater owner, again has come to the front. New developments indicate that another search for the missing magate may be undertaken—a search even more comprehensive and spectacular than the one that followed Small's mysterious disappearance. Small dropped out of the world December 2, 1919. Toronto police immediately started a search. They sent circulars offering vast rewards to police in every civilized nation, they sent officers on trips through the whole North American continent, they even consulted professed psychics—all in vain. Then came a lull. It seemed that the case of Ambrose Small was to be added to the list of unsolved police mysteries. But now a new element has been injected into the case. Gertrude and Florence, the two sisters of the missing millionaire, declare the police have not prosecuted the search with enough vigor and thoroughness. And Gideon Grant, attorney for the two sisters, says he will ask the attorney general to open a new probe—a probe he is satisfied will reveal the fate of the missing magnate! Case to the Fore Again. Meanwhile, Mrs. Theresa Small, the wife—or perhaps the widow—of the missing man, has spent vast sums to aid the police. Thus the whole case has been pushed to the fore. Police are reviewing the disappearance itself and the search that followed. Here is the story: Small's fortune at the time of his disappearance seems to have been $3,500,000. He controlled 36 theaters in Canada. On the afternoon of December 2, 1919, he put through a big theatrical deal involving $1,000,000. Then he left for home, where he had told Mrs. Small he would take dinner with her at 6:30. He stopped to buy a newspaper from his favorite newsboy. He entered a barbershop to be shaved by a barber whose services he always had preferred. Both barber and newsboy have signed affidavits telling of their last talk with Small. After he left his barber, Small van lahue? He's not since been heard of. Was he kildnaped? Murdered? Or did he flee? Police do not know. But here are the scattered threads of evidence they have collected: Shortly after Small's disappearance John Doughty, his secretary, also disappeared. He was arrested in Oregon. He is now serving time for the theft of $105,000 in bonds, Small's property, but he could not be directly connected with Small's disappearance. Mysterious Clues The letters of "B. B. Friend." These were sent to Col. Richard J. Haire, an attorney. The writer professed he could Small's whereabouts. But the letters led to nothing. The story of Alfred Elson, caretaker of Rossey hall here. Elson says he saw a motorcar, containing a bundle which might have contained a body, drive up a road near Rossey hall on the day of Small's disappearance. He thinks the car's passengers may have disposed of Small's body then. The testimony of Catherine M. Dunn, formerly a maid in the Small household. She maintains Small returned to his home in the interval between his visit to the barber and his disappearance. The alleged vision of Louis Benjamin, Toronto medium, who said Small appeared to him and told him he was at Honey Harbor, Nantucket, Long Island Sound. It was later learned that Honey Harbor is on Georgian bay, Ontario. And the village of Veronica, Ont., pops its head into the case to insist that a man taken into custody as Small a year ago and later released, was Small, despite statements of relatives that the man was a stranger. That's the confusing tangle of evidence. And a tangle it will remain—unless, as Attorney Grant believes, the attorney general can uncover some fresh clues.

Inez, Ky.—A Martin county jury upheld the "laws" made by the self-government body of prisoners in the jail at Inez when Lewis Maynard, a prisoner, sued for torn clothing and injured feelings. In the pure democracy a new prisoner has the choice of paying a $1 fine or receiving 50 blows from a hard paddle. Baths are compulsory and profane language is forbidden. Offenders are tried in the "jail court" and the "whipping boss" executes sentences. THE MONITOR DULCIE PROPOSES BY AGNES GRAHAM BROGAN Copyright, 1922, Western Newspaper Union. The man and the girl sat on the bank of a stream that, loosed from winter bondage, went leaping across its shining stones. In a blossoming tree above the two, robins twittered joyously. The man stretched long and lank, at the girl's side, had tired-old lines about his mouth, but his eyes were as inefably young as his rare smile. "John Prim," said the girl, "I love you." The man looked perplexed, unbelieving; then frowned. "Love is no subject for joke, Dulcie," he reproved. The girl trilled a bar of a gay little song. "I do not joke, when I say that I love you. John," she returned seriously. "Such a declaration, should come from me, and not the woman," he suggested. "But you won't make it," she answered him, and laughed. "I brought you here," John Prim said, "to tell you that I am going away, it may be for a year, perhaps longer. The business needs a foreign representative, and I have signed to go." Dulcie nodded cheerfully. "So I heard," she said, "that is why I decided to propose today. And if you refuse to marry me, John, a year will be a long time to go following you around Europe." Her blue eyes plaintively viewed the apple tree. The man turned toward her impatiently. "You could travel on your Aunt Dulcia's money I suppose?" "What a fine means of revenge that would be, for the spiteful manner of her bequest. John, have you any idea why Aunt Dulcinia left her money to me, upon condition that I should not marry a Prim?" "There was," John replied, "an old love affair between your departed aunt, and my father. She refused to marry him, I believe, because she was rich, and he poor, and then with the inconsistency of woman, never forgive him, when later he did marry my mother. The present will, however, was probably drawn with a fact in mind of my general unsuitability. Why a possible, thought of marriage between you and I should have occurred to her, I cannot understand." Dulcine hummed another note of her Dulcie hummed another note of her song. "I told Aunt that I intended to marry you, John," she said, "I always have." "My dear, my dear," sighed the man, "look at my hat, it is growing white—" "I have looked," remarked the girl, "I like it that way, movie-actorish." "And even if I loved you," he went on, "do you think I would allow you to make so great a sacrifice?" "You do love me," Dulcie said comfortably, "I tested you John, before I decided to propose; you are jealous—" "One may be jealous, and still not love," he defended. "And," she continued calmly, "you missed me terribly, when I was away." "How could you know?" he questioned miserably. There was no sympathy in Dulcie's merry glance. "I saw the glad look in your eyes the day I came back," she told him. "I am a failure," the man said sadly. "I have no right to hope for or expect happiness. I have failed in everything. My mother with her savings sent me abroad to study art, to realize for her the dreams of a lifetime. And I came back with only my pittiful daubings—" "Were you to blame," cried Dulcie, "because your mother had set her heart upon making an artist out of a business man?" "A business man!" contemptuously repeated John Prim, his voice broke, "when I came home to ruin the business under my supervision, that my father had built through years." "You know very well," Dulcie returned, "that war ruined your father's business, and you had no power to prevent it. You shall not wrong my future husband, John, and as for that matter, I, too, am a failure. I failed mother, in refusing to marry the popeyed young Van Hyson, of her choice; and I failed Dad at the start, in not being the son of his desire." "Now," the gay note of her laughter rippled, "I have failed Aunt Dulcinla, handing over her fortune to a graveless nephew." John Prim jumped to his feet. "Dulcie," he cried, "surely you have not been so rash as to waive claim to that legacy." "Surely I have," answered Dulcie pleasantly, "its condition is impossible. And though we may have failed others, John, we have not failed the test of love. For here we are quarrelling as to which shall make the greater sacrifice for the other. And as love is the greatest thing in the world—" Close in his eager arms, her pleadings ended. And after a time, when John raised the girl's radiant face to his own, the tired lines about his mouth vanished in the ineffable youth of his smile. Dulcie hummed a bar of her spring song; then, "My, my, John Prim," she said, "what a time you did give me, proposing." Be Thrifty With Health Be thrifty in keeping your health.
