RESTRAINING ORDER GIVEN Petition Recites Revolting Story of Intimidation and Brutality Against Prosperous Citizen. Atlanta, Ga., June 16—Acting on a sensational plea filed by Asbury McCluskey, colored, who lives near Statham, Barrow County, in which he alleged that he was shot and wounded by a mob and driven from his home, Judge Blanton Fortson of Athens, Saturday granted a temporary injunction restraining Jim Johnson, Mathew Stinchcomb and Guy Thurmond, whites who live near Statham, from further interference or molestation of McCluskey. Later McCluskey, through his attorney, W. C. Mundy of Atlanta, filed suit for $50,000 damages against the men and asked permission of the court to include the names of other members of the mob as soon as their names could be ascertained. McCluskey alleged in his petition that the mob visited him on the night of May 5 and said there were fifteen in the party, all masked. He declared he recognized Thurmond, Stinchcomb and Johnson. He said the mob came to his house and demanded admission. On being refused admission he said the members of the mob shot into the house, broke down his door with an ax shot him in the arm, attacked and beat his wife and three minor children and shot twenty-eight bullets into the walls of the room. He said he had been warned to leave that section and that he did so, being forced now to live in another county leaving his crops untended and his farm valued at $40,000 going to waste. The petition was presented to Judge Fortson at Athens, Saturday, by Attorney Mundy, and the temporary restraining order was at once granted. Attorney Mundy then went to Winder where he filed the suit for $50,000 damages against the three white men. In the petition of McCluskey, a story of intimidation and brutality is told that is one of the most revolting related in Georgia in years. He swears in his petition that after he had been shot by the mob the members beat him and malterated him, terrorized his wife and children and warned him to leave the country under threats of death if he remained. CENTRAL HIGH GRADUATE SHOWN APPRECIATION Miss Bertha Dewis Presented With a Gold Wrist Watch as a Mark of Esteem An unusual event happened at the Hotel Merriam last Saturday night which shows that ability, courtesy and merit are appreciated. Miss Bertha Lewis, who graduates tonight from Central High School, has made a good record, being exempted from examinations. While attending school, Miss Lewis has been working as a waitress at the Merriam Hotel, where her courtesy and cheerfulness was the subject of comment among the guests. Last Saturday night at the dinner hour, Mr. H. J. Twitchell, superintendent of Burgess-Nash store, in the presence of the guests of the Merriam, presented her with a beautiful 15 jewel gold wrist watch in the name of those upon whom she had been waiting, as a token of their appreciation of her scholastic work, her ambition to secure an education, and her marked courtesy and cheerful service to the guests. THE MONITOR AKRON BRANCH N. A. A. C. P. STOPS KU KLUX PARADE Akron, O., June 6.—The local bronch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been instrumental in stopping a widely advertised parade of the Ku Klux Klan which was to have taken place in that city on May 24th, it was announced today. The Klan parade was to culminate in a huge mass meeting in the local armory. Upon learning of the proposed demonstration the Akron branch at once went to the Mayor of the city and succeeded in obtaining an injunction preventing both the Ku Klux parade and the meeting in the armory. The result of this victory was the receipt of numbers of threatening letters addressed to Samuel Kelly, president of the branch. Mr. Kelly however, was given protection by the sheffff. WINS MEDAL AND COMMISSION Among those receiving promotions and commissions at the Central High School Entrenchment at Camp Masters, Valley, Nebr., Thursday, was Worthington L. Williams, who was promoted from sergeant of Company B to First Lieutenant and Adjutant of the first battalion. He was also awarded the second medal in competitive company drill. SPINGARN MEDAL FOR 1921 GOES TO WOMAN Mrs. Mary B. Talbot, Former President of National Association of Colored Women, Awarded Coveted Prize. New York, June 16.—Mary B. Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, has been chosen to receive the Spingarn Medal on Tuesday, June 20th, at the Newark Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, it was announced today. The committee on the award issued the following statement: Mrs. Mary B. Talbert "The award was made to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, and this award was given in consideration of her services in organizing the women of the country so that the debt was paid off the home of Frederick Douglas, the home restored and made a shrine in memory of the great Douglass; also because of the fact that she represented the colored women of America at the International Council of Women held in Norway. "The award was made specifically for the above reasons. However, the Committee could not fail to take into consideration also the fact that Mrs. Talbert was twice president of the National Association of Colored Women and that all her life she has been identified with uplift work, religions and civic, and has been a leader of the women of her race." The Committee making the award consisted of Bishop Hurst, Dr. Dillard and Mr. Hope. Rabbi Solomon Foster of Newark has been invited and has accepted the invitation to present the medal to Mrs. Talbert at the Newark Conference.

TWO NEGRO GIRLS GRANTED LAW DEGREES IN NEW YORK New York, June 16—Two Negro girls—the first of their race to be graduated from New York University —have degrees of bachelor of law and juris doctor of law. ..... The two, who won arts degrees from Hunter college, and have been teaching in the public schools in Harlem Negro colony, are Anne Jones Robinson, 24, and Enid F. Thorpe, 25. They were graduated yesterday. Until then, no New York law school ever granted degrees to women of the colored race. OPENS MUSIC SCHOOL The Jack Pinkston School of Music held its formal opening Monday from four until nine o'clock. During the afternoon and evening a large number availed themselves of Mrs. Pinkston's invitation to visit and inspect this school which is to mean so much in the musical education of our young people. In the evening vocal numbers were given by Madam Lena Mays Curry, Mrs. R. Dewey Allen and Mrs. Russell Reese, and violin numbers by Clarence DesDunes. The school begins with a good enrollment. Rev. M. H. Wilkinson, state missionary, has returned from Hastings, where he raised $388.50 in four days to help burn off the mortgage which needed but $66.50 more. He left for Norfolk Friday. Pre-Election Rumor Revived by New Book; Secret Service Searching for Author Vol. VII—No. 50 Pre-Election Ru New Book; S Searching (Special to the Monitor. Washington, D. C. June 16.—It is alleged that a book is being circulated here which is causing considerable excitement, although were it not for America's inane and insane bias along one phase of "the rising tide of color," would cause no comment. The book revives the rumor, which was given currency shortly after Harding's nomination, that the distinguished Ohioan has Negro blood in his veins. The statement was branded at that time as a mean political trick, without any foundation in fact, purely designed to encompass his defeat. His campaign managers exerted strenuous efforts to discredit the rumor. The book, the author of which is said to be unknown, is designed to prove that President Harding is not of pure white blood, but that it is mingled with that of Africa, the potency of which, according to America's peculiar method of reckoning in consanguinity may be expressed by the ratio of 1 to 99. Just think of the richness and the strength of African blood, that one drop of it, where its presence is suspected or detected, is sufficient to fix its possessor's ethnic status on the Negro side. Now some one who claims to know wants to prove Warren Gamaliel Harding is not simon pure Caucausian. So this book has COURT TRIES TO FIND COLORED BLOOD IN TEXAN COURT TRIES TO FIND COLORED BLOOD IN TEXAN Man Who Was Considered White for Years Is Arrested Under Suspicion of Being Colored After Third Marriage. MISCEGENATION IS CHARGE Texas Statutes Prohibit the Intermarriage of Races But Not Very Sensitive Concerning Concubinage. Fort Worth, Texas, June 16.—After having lived for twenty-three years as a white man, Fred Teichman, thirty-seven years old, has been arrested and placed under $2,000 bond on the charge of being colored. Teichman, who has lived here for twenty years or more has been fairly successful in business and is a trustee of Northside Methodist church, white. Members of the church went his bond to secure his release. He is also said to belong to three white fraternal organizations. He has been married three time., each wife having been white. No. 1 divorced him, No. 2 died after having given birth to two children, and he has been living with No. 3 for the last five years, and she avers she is perfectly happy and satisfied with her husband and wants the state to keep its nose out of her domestic affairs. Charge against Teichman The charge against Teichman, according to the Texas statutes, is "miscegenation." The law prohibits the marriage of any person in whose veins runs the blood of a Negro within the third generation, to a person of the white race. Violation of the statute is punishable by a term of two to five years in the penitentiary. Teichman, an expert bookkeeper and accountant, says he never saw his mother, but understood from his father that she was white and said it was seldom that his father ever talked about the mother. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 362 mor Revived by secret Service for Author been written to prove this. With what measure of success, your correspondent does not know. It is stated that secret service men have been detailed to discover the source of the book, which is said to retail at prices varying from four to fourteen dollars. Those who claim to have seen copies of the book declare that it contains over two hundred pages, with illustrations and photographs of Harding's ancestors which unmistakably indicate evidence of dark blood. The volume is also said to contain declarations of persons who intimate acquaintance with Mr. Harding's ancestry. Of course the whole thing may be a clever scheme to make money or there may be an uterior motive behind it; but that this rumor has been revived cannot be without some significance. The absurdity of the whole thing to your correspondent's mind is, that if Harding was said to have had a strain of Indian blood in his veins it would have been considered an honor, but if African, no matter how little or how remote, horrors! What sacrilege! "What fools," I would like to put it stronger. "What fools, these mortals be." The question is President Harding white or colored may become as interesting and perplexing as "How old is Ann?" "This is the most unfortunate affair of my whole life," said Teichman while in jail to a reporter. He wept as he talked. "I have tried to live an honorable life and I know I have been 'white' in my dealings. I never was arrested or charged with anything before. "I was born in Houston and my father was well known and, of course, white. I couldn't get my father to ever discuss my mother, but it was natural for me to think she was white. Yet when I was a boy my father placed me in a Negro school. When I reached fourteen years of age I realized that I shouldn't be associating with Negroes, being of a different race. I ran away from home, still thinking I was white, and I have been recognized as a white man ever since. "I did not go to school much when I was with my father, but I made my own living and studied as I worked. I never dreamed anything like this would come up." Investigation of Teichman's case began several weeks ago when information was received by the Grand Jury that he was living with a white woman. Assistant District Attorney Martin was sent to Houston to obtain evidence and upon his return the complaint was filed. SUCCUMBS TO WOUNDS Jesse Welch, who it is alleged was accidentally shot by his wife two weeks ago at their home, 2121 Nicholas street, died Sunday at the Mercy Hospital. He was taken to the hospital when shot, apparently in a dying condition. Dr. Riddle, however, extracted the bullet and the patient was apparently improving, but died Sunday. His wife, who was re-arrested at his death, was released after the coroner's inquest. NOTICE TO MONITOR PATRONS Mr. George H. W.

BRAZIL AND AMERICA IT strikes the casual observer as rather funny that while the United States would be scandalized were it proven that its Chief Executive chanced to be a colored man, Brazil, which is among the wealthiest and most progressive of the South American republics, does not worry in the least because its president, who previously served with ability and acceptability as its premier, belongs to the Colored race, as judged by American standards. The chief fact with them is not the fact of his descent, but that he has proven himself a man of brains and character of sufficient quality and quantity to discharge the functions of his office. These are the criteria by which men and women should be judged in any democracy worthy of the name. The United States will come to this position some day and a man's racial antecedents will be absolutely ignored. He will be rated upon his individual merits as a man and an American citizen. Brazil points the right way to the United States. "OF AFRICAN DESCENT" TTE DAY will come and it is nea TE DAY will come and it is nearer than many people believe even in the United States of America, when every man who has African blood in his veins will be proud of that fact. "Of African descent" will be a badge of honor. It is even now. For greatness and nobility consist not in great material possessions, nor in manifestations of physical prowess, nor in ability to subjugate and exploit; but in kindness of heart, magnanimity of spirit and in unshaken faith in Him whose going forth has been from of old. In these characteristics, the noblest traits which humanity can possess, the people "of African descent" are abundantly rich. Great material possessions are not, and may not be ours, and yet undreamed of representatives of our group; nor are we sure that such will prove an unmixed blessing to us, unless we are wise enough to realize, in that possession, that we are merely STEWARDS OF GOD'S BOUNTY, and use it not for its own aggrandizement but for the advancement of God's glory in all that makes for the highest and best civilization. Amazing intellectual advancement we may not have made, although in mental ability, latent and undeveloped though it is, are we the peer of any group on God's green earth. What we, as a group, need is simply to develop the mental capacity and powers with which we are endowed. And this is also true of that which is our chief racial glory, warmth of heart and spiritual perception. With these noble traits we are richly endowed. They are not the qualities which a vast segment of mankind regard as pre-eminent; but that does not alter the fact that they are pre-eminent; and that race that possesses them and values them as they should have a high and noble destiny among the peoples of the earth. These qualities are predominant among the people of African descent. Negro blood should be regarded as a badge of honor, demanding of its possessor, not racial self-conceit, but self-respect and a nobility of character which scorns to think or do anything that is ignoble or base; which is too magnanimous to descent to bigotry or uncharitableness, and which with a firm, unwavering faith in God cheerfully takes up its appointed work and does it thoroughly and to the best of its ability. Be proud then of your African descent and live worthily of it. "Let every man his soul inure, In noblest sacrifice, And with a heart of oak endure Ignoble, arrant prejudice. "Endurance, love will yet prevail Against all laws of hate; Such armaments can never fail Our race its best estate. INSTITUTION OF THE STATES. Not to Be Abridged.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY. NEGRO MURDERS CONTINUE The south is in a veritable orgy of lust; within a few weeks three abominable incidents have taken place. In the first Negroes were burned at the stake on the confession of one of them; in the second a Negro boy of fifteen, probably an imbecile, was burned alive; and in the third another boy is dragged at the end of a rope until he was dead, then burned. In the second incident more than two hundred shots were fired into the body of the Negro by the mob of over one thousand. One reads of these incidents with a shudder. Is this an American crowd which, after having burned a boy at the stake, goes into epileptic fury and fires hundreds of shots into the dead body? Is this the stuff of which part of our republic is built? There is lardly anything that one can say. A terrible nausea comes over one in thinking of the incident. One feels contaminated by the horror of the incidents. And, meanwhile, among the leaders of the country, those who represent us to ourselves and to the nations, there are some who oppose furiously the passage of the Federal Anti-Lynching Law. They argue that it is against the dignity of the states at which it is aimed. The dignity of the states! A state which allows these things to go on has no dignity. Someone must teach it what dignified behavior and dignified justice is.—Der Tog (The Day.) (We are indebted to Mr. Israel M.

MR. HARDING'S COLORED BLOOD MR. HARDING'S BLOOD According to a newspaper report, Secret Service men are trying to locate the author of a book which makes the claim that President Harding has Negro blood in his veins. One may boast of any blood except Negro in this country. It was said of President Wilson's second wife, we believe, that she is a descendant of Pocahontas, Indian princess. The allegation that Mr. Harding is colored was made in his presidential campaign and indignantly denied. Certainly his Birmingham speech, denial to colored men the privilege to hold big federal plums in the South, his evident disinclination to name a colored man as Register of the Treasury because a large number of white women are employed as clerks there, and the fact colored men like Charles W. Anderson, of New York, have not received political recognition, do not stamp President Harding as being affiliated with the Negro race or a President who is willing to accord the Negro the same rights and privileges enjoyed by other classes of Americans. He thinks and acts as most white men when it comes to dealing with the Negro. His views on the race question are but slightly different from those of the many so-called lib- --- Raising the Family - Yes, it was a scream! Oh yes! YA HAVEN'T MET MY DARTER YIT, HAVE YA?

CURIOUS SITUATION One of the curious anomalies of politics is that the defeat of Ku Klux Klan candidate for governor in Oregon should be ascribed to the Grand Master of the Masonic lodges in Oregon who issued a proclamation declaring an interdict on all Masons who should take part in what he described as "a movement inciting racial and religious bigotry." He asserted also that these new alignments in political matters fostering such sinister appeals to prejudice and discord begot a menace to American institutions which every Mason should condemn and suppress. This proclamation turned the tide against the Ku Klux candidate and incidentally resulted in a check on the anti-Catholic movement in that state. Quite a curious situation.—The True Voice, Omaha.

NNER'S Telephone Douglas 1092 e in the Monitor All The Time SELL DAUGHTERS, BRAG OF PRICES Fathers in French South African Colony Drive Hard Bargain With Suitors. TOWN HALL IS MARKET PLACE Deals Are Always Settled in the Oriental Manner of Bargaining—French Government Seeks to Wipe Out Practice. Paris.—The French colonial office is investigating ways and means of wiping out slave selling and slavery in general in certain sections of France's possessions in Africa.* In the tribe of the Kabyle, the French colony in Africa, fathers sell their daughters and brag of the high prices they get for them. A Parisian traveler, De Waleffe, who went to Africa with Albert Sarraut, the French colonial minister, and has just returned from extensive journeys in the colonies, reports that France is very much misguided in believing that women are comparatively free and highly considered in the Babyle tribe. M. de Walefe was told by a proud father that he had sold his first daughter for 6,000 francs, but that he got 14,000 francs for the second girl, as she was very pretty. All the fathers gather for their Turkish coffee at the Caravanserai and discuss between puffs of their marghiles (Turkish water-pipes) the prices they expect to get for their daughters or brag of the amount somebody paid them. Suiters Drive Hard Bargain. The deals are always settled in the typical oriental manner of bargaining. The father asks several times as much as he thinks he can get and the suitor offers as little as he can without insulting the maiden. Then they settle down to business, each reducing or raising the price as the hours pass. Finally they reach a point midway between the two original figures and the transaction is over; but it has taken days to accomplish. The women of Kabyle are sold at an early age, sometimes at twelve or thirteen years. Once they leave their paternal roof for the harem of their purchaser their days of pleasure are over and they face a life-long slavery of hard work. The one redeeming factor in the sale of the women in Kabyle is that they are sold only as wives. In Asia Minor, where the many scattered tribes of Circassians sell their women, the morality is not so high, and the daughters of the tribes are sold to anybody as long as a high enough price is paid. Edhem Said Bey, a Turk who was feeling acutely the servant problem in Constantople, tells of going to Asia Minor and buying half a dozen servants. He went to the first Circassian village and asked the chief of the elders to exhibit the daughters for sale. Sothea Assemble Girls In the evening fifteen to twenty girls were assembled in the town hall with their fathers. They were dressed to show themselves off to advantage. Every man wanted as much as he could get for his daughter, and the bey had to deal with them one by one, listening to them enumerate the particular charms and abilities. After long bargaining with the fathers the bey went to the market and bought donkeys, buffaloes and silver-mounted arms for a tenth of the price he had agreed upon for the girls. These were then presented to the fathers as payment. When these girls are delivered they are carefully velled and can travel anywhere with their purchasers unmolested, for in the Near East no one, not even a government official, would dare lift the vell of a Moslem woman. SWEDE EXODUS TO U. S. ON Heavy Emigration From Aaland Islands Reported—Swedish Government Alarmed. Stockholm—The exodus of Swedes from the Aaland islands to the United States has begun. Several groups of 50 persons already are on their way. Sweden is alarmed over this new emigration tide. The islands, which lie in the Gulf of Bothnia, between Sweden and Finland, were claimed by both countries. A year ago the League of Nations council awarded them to Finland. A majority of the population of 25,000 is Swedish, and Sweden is anxious to have this stock remain Swedish, even under Finnish rule. Week's Campaign Planned to Re-educate English Palate for Finer Vintages. London.—English palates, long noted for their appreciation of fine old wines, are in danger of deterioration because of the lower price of vintages, according to a group of prominent wine merchants who propose an English "wine week" in emulation of the French custom. Wine, they declare, is no longer a luxury, as the lower price has brought it within reach of all. The purpose of wine week, it is said, will be to educate the English taste for wines and also to instruct diners in the elementary rules and traditional usages of beverage selections. AUNT MOLLY By ETHEL A. LYONS 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. "My, but I'm tired!" Mrs. Symmes sank down wearily in the patent rocker in Aunt Molly Magee's parlor. "I mustn't stop a minute. I've been going night and day trying to make this fair a success. The church needs the money so badly. You'll wash dishes for us, of course, Mrs. Magee?" "Of course I will—not!" Mrs. Symmes jumped. "For twenty years now"—Aunt Molly grasped the arms of her chair with two plump hands and bent forward—"I've washed dishes at every banquet and supper and Sunday school picnic in this town. If you want me to help sellin' things I'll go—but I won't wash dishes." "Oh, I'm so sorry," Mrs. Symmes was all sympathetic consternation. "I never knew you felt like that. But about the booths—why—er—I don't know. There's nothing left but the aprons, and Mrs. Lucas has always had them." The night of the fair found Aunt Molly respendant in her best black silk and rhinestone brooch, presiding over the aprons. Mrs. Symmes in the cramped little church kitchen, nervously endearing to keep hot a half-dozen chicken pies on the little two-by-four cook stone, and hoping that Aunt Molly wouldn't bungle things too badly, was startled into leaving her post by a hilarious shout from the outer room. She glanced out the door to see Mr. Conroy, proprietor of the village market, strutting about, his bulky form swathed in a checked gingham apron of large proportions. "Oh, dear," said Mrs. Symmes to Aunt Molly. "Mrs. Magge, why ever did you sell that apron to Conroy? I make one like that every year so that old Mrs. Lane will buy it. She never can get things big enough." "There, now, don't you worry," soothed Aunt Molly her face aglow. "I made him pay me five dollars for that apron, and if anyone can pry old Conroy loose from a five-dollar bill I say do it." "Cora Whipple, you come here." Mrs. Symmes felt herself dismissed as a rosy-cheeked girl came at Aunt Molly's bidding. "Cora, don't you ever make fudge for Ervin? You needn't blush, but next time you just wear this pink fudge apron and see what happens. No, a dollar's enough. I guess." "Elisie, bet your ma'd be just tickled to death with one of these little sweeping aprons for her birthday. This white one with the ruffle's mighty cute, too. You want 'em both? Good!" "Here, Miss Sykes, you buy this oil-cloth jacket and you won't drown yourself when you wash dishes, like you always do." Aunt Molly knew her "line" and her customers. At 8:30 she was sold out. Complacently she began counting her spoils. "Oh, Mrs. Magee!" walled pretty Millie Burke, hurrying across from the fancy work booth, "would you help us with those vanity bags?" "Sure I'll help, but you ought to've known better than to make them, in the first place. All the girls may not have gingham aprons, but you should know that all those as would use 'em has vanity bags already. Here." she thrust the box of money toward Milly. "You finish counting that. Here comes Doctor Armister," as the young doctor's lilte, dark figure appeared in the doorway. "Bet you 10 cents I sell him that old-rose bag for $2. Just suits his complexion." With a chuckle she was away "Well, what do you think?" An hour later Millie Burke burst into the kitchen, weak from laughter. "Aunt Molly has sold one all of those bags; we haven't a thing left but canned fruit. And Doctor Armister and Judge Peterson—oh, just come and see." She drew Mrs. Symmes outside. Uproar and feminine shrieks greeted them. Mrs. Symmes stared—every male face in the crowd was a work of art. Rouge and eyebrow pencil, lipstick and powder had all been applied with a lavish hand. Conroy's rosy-hued countenance was a ghastly white; someone had used an eyebrow pencil with great diligence on the judge's bald spot; Dandy Smithson's erstwhile blond mustache had turned a brilliant carmine. "How much? How much?" Aunt Molly had turned auctioneer. Her strident voice was heard above the hubbub. "How much am I offered for this can of peaches? You, judge, how much? Remember, not one bite to eat for anybody till the last thing's sold. How—" "Great guns." groaned the judge, "pack up the whole business, woman, and send it to the old ladies' home. I'll pay the bill." With a mighty cheer the crowd made a rush for the supper room. "Land sakes!" Aunt Molly gave a feeble chuckle as she wiped the perspiration from her face and lowered her weary body into a convenient chair. "I never in my life see folks have such a good time." Advertising Strategy. "What's the idea of this big sign here reading 'G slow. Danger'? Why, the road is perfect and without a turn for miles." "That was the happy thought of a publicity expert. He put up the big billboard you see over there on the side of the road, and the danger sign is merely to make motorists slow up so they'll have a chance to read it." BOY STUDENT MARVEL At Age of Seven He Is Well Versed in Several Sciences. Astounds Psychologists of University of California by Answers to Binet-Simon Mentality Tests—Is Mayflower Descendant. Los Angeles.—William Elliot Bradford, who is but seven years of age, is in the fifth grade of the Woodcrest school, and recently astounded a group of psychologists at the University of California, southern branch, by his success in answering the Stanford university revision of the Binet-Simon mentality tests. These scientists found that topping William's seven-year-old body is a brain of a boy twice that age. While reading a poem for the psychologists he came across the word "voluptuous." They asked him to go to a blackboard and write it. Without hesitation or stopping to look at the word twice, he went to the board and wrote the word correctly. When the boy was two years of age he could put together the sections of a ligsaw puzzle map of the United States correctly in a few moments. But the thing which most amazed his mother, Mrs. Edith Eddy Bradford, was his memorization of the poem, "Barbara Fletchie," by Whittier, at the age of six. The boy's favorite studies are ancient history, zoology and natural history. Miss Jessamine Crapser, principal of the Woodcrest school, said that William is qualified mentally to enter the eighth grade. His great, great, ever-so-great-grandfather, William Bradford, came over in the Mayflower and was the first governor of Plymouth colony. RIGHT HAND MAN TO WEEKS JAMES W. WOODS John W. Martyn, private secretary to Secretary of War Weeks, has been associated with Mr. Weeks for almost ten years and he is indeed the right hand man to the war secretary. He is entirely familiar with the policies of Secretary Weeks and is more than the ordinary secretary. TO RECORD MORO MARRIAGES Governor Wood Gives Order When Philippine Court Holds Them Legal. Manila, P. L.-A record of all marriages performed by Moro priests and others in non-Christian tribes in the Philippines is to be kept, according to instructions issued by Governor Wood to the department of justice. These records are necessary, in view of the decision by the Philippine Supreme court that a marriage performed by Moro priests is legal, asserting that Mohammedanism is a religious denomination within the meaning of the law. The governor general suggested that the system adopted by England in some of her colonies be adopted Wichita Falls, Tex.-What are believed to be fragments of a mastodon's bones have been unearthed by oil drillers in Gray county. The fragments were found imbedded in a "strata" of dry sand and are large enough to indicate they were a part of a skeleton of a prehistoric monster. Geysers Spout Murd 200 Feet High. El Centro, Cal.-A spectacular eruption of the mud geysers in Salt sea, near here, sent mud, smoke and steam 200 feet into the air, according to the report here of a number of persons who witnessed the phenomenon. The eruption came without warning and continued 20 minutes.

JACK PINKSTON'S SCHOOL OF MUSIC 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 Philipp, 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. For further particulars regarding the school address Mrs. Jack Pinkston, 2415 North Twenty-second street, Omaha, Nebraska. Phone Webster 6204. Owls in Old University City. As is proper in the case of birds of such renowned solemnity and segregated habit, have always exhibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have established a new colony in the ivy-covered walls of the Bodleian library and the Tower of the Five Orders, in the Old Schools quadrangle. Members of the library staff now occasionally find relaxation from their duties by rescuing the young birds which find their way down to the pavement of the quadrangle and are unable to fly up to their nests. to say—Yoeloo Blade.
