COLORED PEOPLE BARRED FROM WORK IN HOTELS State Historical Society LIFTING TOO THE ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION HOLDS GREAT MEETING Thirteenth Annual Session Nationa Association for the Advancement of Colored People Filled With Interest. SILENT PARADE A FEATURE Delegates Present from Thirty States South Being Well Represented—Notable Persons Deliver Addresses. Newark, N. J. June 30.—With thirty states, including a dozen states of the South represented, delegates to the Thirteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met here during the week of June 18-23. The conference was opened with a silent parade through the down-town section of Newark and past the City Hall, in front of which a reviewing stand had been erected. One group of young boys carried a banner inscribed: "We Are Fifteen Years Old. A Boy of Our Age Was Roasted Alive Recently." Other banners contained the slogans: "Lynch Law Must Go", and "Pass the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill". Immediately following the parade, a mass meeting was held in Newark's Armory where 3,000 members and friends of the association were welcomed in behalf of Governor Edwards of New Jersey by James Baker, chairman of the state tax commission; Governor Edwards being unavoidably absent at an encampment of state militia. Moorfield Storey, national president of the N. A. A. C. P. and former president of the American Bar Association, delivered an opening address in which he suggested that Negroes in the South might go on strike if necessary. Storey defended the constitutionary, to obtain justice and liberty, ality of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. Monday, June 19th—Warning to Republicans. On the opening day of the Conference, warning was issued by the N. A. A. C. P. to the republican party that republican senators would be held responsible for a failure to enact the Dyer Bill. James Weldon Johnson, national secretary, urged colored Americans to vote for men and measures independent of party lines in the fall elections, T. G. Nutter, colored member of the West Virginia legislature, told of the successful fight to have an anti-lynching law enacted in his state. Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen of New Jersey sent the following telegram which was read at the night meeting, definitely committing himself to support and to vote for the Dyer Bill: "I am doing everything I can to have the Dyer Anti-lynching Bill reported by the Senate Committee against determined opposition. I have seen Senator Sterling, a member of the sub-committee, several times and urged him to act immediately. I believe in the legislation and it must and will be enacted. Civilization and humanity demand it. It is justice long delayed. You may count on my continued effort until it is passed." Another visitor and speaker at this session was Robert T. Kerlin, author of "The Voice of the Negro" former professor of English at Virginia Military Institute. Tuesday, June 20th—Women's Day. Culminating in the award of the Spingarm medal to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, the first woman to receive it and eighth medallist, the night session was devoted to demands for full citizenship rights for colored women. With Mrs. Addie W. Hunton presiding, the following women addressed the conference: Hallie Q. Brown of Ohio, president of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs; Ella Rush Murray of New York; Clara L. Laddy of New Jersey, representing the Women's Peace Party; Mrs. Nathan Kussy, representing the National Council of Jewish Women; Mrs. Florence Halsey, representing the New Jersey League of Women Voters, and Mrs. H. N. Simmons, representing the New Jersey Federation of Women's Clubs. The Spingarm medal was presented to Mrs. Mary B. Talbert, former president of the National Association of Colored Women, in recognition of her having raised a fund to preserve the home of Frederick Duoglass as a national memorial. Wednesday, June 21st—Mr. Dyer Speaks. The day sessions were devoted to the value of the press and of publicity THE MONITOR and two editors addressed the conference. Royal J. Davis of the editorial staff of the New York Evening Post urged colored Americans to become acquainted with editors. Nahum D. Brascher of Chicago, president of the Associated Negro Press, told of the work of his organization in news distribution. Representative Dyer's Speech. Representative Dyer was welcomed with cheers in Bethany Baptist church by an audience crowding the church to the doors. He delivered a stirring address in which he urged upon colored people the following principles: 1. That colored Americans should work together and not fight among themselves. "If there is a pastor of one of your churches who will not work with you and for you," said Representative Dyer, "you ought to turn him out." 2. That colored Americans should vote irrespective of party, for men and issues, and that senators should be made to know the republican party would be held responsible for failure to enact the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. 3. That the membership of the N. A. A, C. P. should be raised to one million. "You go back," said Mr. Dyer, "and tell the colored people, I said the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is entitled to credit for the passage of the Anti-Lynching Bill in the House of Representatives." Mr. Dyer said that, "those who get up and snort about the unconstitutionality of the bill are those who have prejudice in their hearts. "This is not a race issue. This is a question involving the honor of the republic. The senate of the United States is republican and unless it obeys the mandate to protect human life from mobs, those in control of the republicans are entitled to and deserve the condemnation of the people of America." At this meeting, T. G. Nutter of the West Virginia legislature gave a rousing description of the West Virginia anti-lynching law and urged colored Americans to organize for the fighting of their own battles. Capt. Arthur B. Spingarn, charman of the association's legal committee, then spoke. Thursday, June 22nd—Boat Ride. Delegates and friends of the N. A. A. C. P. went on a day's boat ride in the harbor of New York and up the Hudson river on the steamship Pocahontas. The evening session was devoted to "The Negro and the Making of Public Opinion," Dr. Ernest H. Gruen, managing editor of The Nation, and Kelly Miller, dean of the Junior college, Howard University, making addresses. A dramatic story of the burning at stake of three Negroes, probably innocent, in Kirvin, Texas, on May 7, was told by Daniel Kelly, white Texan from Waco, who made the investigation for the N. A. A. C. P. Friday, June 23rd—Closing Day. The Conference heard reports and adopted final resolutions, hearing able addresses at the night session by Dr. A. A. Goldenweiser of the New School for Social Research, Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of the Crisis, and William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. "Vote for Bunce Once" —Adv. SHOOTS WIFE AND COMMITS SUICIDE Twenty-Seventh and Lake Street the Scene of a Double Tragedy Last Thursday Afternoon. Last Thursday afternoon Twenty-Seventh and Lake Street was the scene of a tragedy, when Anson Knight, of 2402 North 27th Avenue, whose wife was about to sue him for a divorce for cruelty, was fatally shot by him. Knight met his wife, who was walking with her mother, on North Twenty-seventh street. He asked her about the proposed divorce proceedings. She told him that her mind was made up to go through with it. Knight then drew a gun. His wife then ran up on the porch of Mr. Pirro on North Twenty-seventh street, where she was shot three times by Knight, the wounds being in her left side, arm and hip. Going to Twenty-seventh and Lake streets Knight shot himself, dying instantly. Mrs. Knight was rushed to the Lord Lister hospital, where she died Friday morning. Mrs. Knight's body was taken to the Silas Johnson Western Funeral Home, and that of her husband to Jones & Co.'s undertaking establishment. Her funeral was held from the Seventh Day Adventist church Monday. Interment at Forest Lawn. "Vote for Bunce Once" —Adv.

Makes His Report Showing Peculiar Method of Fixing Crime on Negroes GIRL'S MURDER DUE TO FEUD Evidence Indicates That White Men, Not Negroes Burned at Stake, Were Guilty of Assault on New York, June 30.—Three men were burned at the stake at Kirwin, Texas, May 7th and the bodies of two others were found filled with shot and hanging to a tree, a day or two later, on suspicion of having assaulted and murdered a seventeen year old school girl, Eula Ausley, whose mutilated body was found in a thicket not far from her home. The press dispatches said that Snap Curley, colored, under torture, had confessed to the crime, implicating two others, who died with hymns on their lips and protesting their innocence. The sheriff, it is alleged, publicly stated at that time his doubt of the guilt of two of the men. Tracks found around the body of the girl were fitted to the shoes of two white men who were arrested but released after the "confession" and lynching of the colored. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, according to its custom, sent an investigator to the field. He was a white Texan. Had they known his errand they would have made short shrift of him. Mr. Kelly has submitted his report which gives the following facts: "A white land owner, John King by name, owns several farms in this backwoods community, where black and white alike, with few exceptions, are illiterate. He had as neighbors a white family by the name of Prowell. Between the family of John King, grandfather of Eula Ausley, and the Prowells, there had been a bitter feud of long standing, beginning with King's accusing the Prowell's of cattle stealing. As a result of this feud King's son was maimed and two of the Prowells were driven from the county. Permission was recently asked by one of the Prowells to return. King offered him "six feet of ground." The Prowells swore vengeance. Eula Ausley, an orphan, was the apple of her grandfather's eye. She rode daily to school past a thicket some distance from home. One day in May she was late reaching home. A colored man found her horse near the thicket and took it home. Search was made for the girl. Her body was found in the thicket with knife wounds in the abdomen, but the physician found no evidence of rape. From the thicket where the girl's body was found foot tracks led to the Prowell's, and the two Prowell boys disappeared while the posse was hunting for the perpetrators of the murder. After the burning of the Negroes the Prowells were arrested and later released when they explained that they had been making bran mash in the thicket. The truth of their story was not investigated and it was not ascertained whether the bran mash was there or not. John King said he was certain that white men were implicated in the crime. The sentiment of the people generally was that an "example" had been made; it was of small consequence whether the Negroes were guilty or innocent. CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEMON Bishop Shayler visited this congregation last Sunday morning, addressed and catechized the Sunday School and confirmed a class of three adults and preached an instructive sermon. The confrerees were Mrs. Olive (Esthl) Richardson, John Joynes and Arthur Burgess McCaw. A good sized congregation was present. The services next Sunday will be Holy Communion at 7:30 a.m.; mating at 8:30; Church school at 10; choral Eucharist with sermon at 11 o'clock. WHITE SHRINERS OF FLORIDA LOSE CASE AGAINST COLORED Writ of Injunction Restraining the Use of the Name, Insignia and Emblems of Order by Negroes Is Not Sustained IS THE FIRST INTERFERENCE (Jacksonville, Fla., June 30—What has sent a thrill of triumph through the hearts of Attorney D. W. Perkins, legal adviser for the masonic fraternity of the jurisdiction of the Most Worshipful Grand Union Lodge of the State of Florida, and the twenty or more thousands who pay allegiance to that jurisdiction, handed down in the Circuit Court in the city of Tampa on the 5th of this month, wherein the temple of the Mystic Shriners, whiche has sued out a writ of injunction, restraining all colored men in Florida from using the name, insignia, paraphernalia, words, cutouts, etc., of the Ancient Arabic Mystic Shriners. Arguments were made before Judge Robinson of Tampa, who holds the reputation of being one of the fairest judges that ever sat in any court in this state. The case was fought hard, and every assault made by the opposition was smashed by Attorney Perkins, and Judge Robinson gave his decision, denying the injunction. This is the first time white shrimp have attempted to interfere with colored shriners in this state, and their failure may not be the last of it. Attorney Perkins is being lionized over his great victory. The white press quickly published the entrance of this case, but so far not one of them has had a word to say about the denial of the court to grant the induction. SENATORS CONDEMN RACE PREJUDICE AT ANNAPOLIS Mistreatment of Jewish Midshipman Forced Issue to Attention of the Senate, But the Principle Is Far Reaching. SENATOR SUNDERLAND SOUND Regardless of Nationality or Race in This Country Every Man Should Stand on an Equality Before the Law. Washington, D. C., June 30.—Race prejudice in Annapolis has been dealt a terrific blow in the senate. It was aimed in defense of the Jews, but as stated by Senator Sunderland, "every man should stand on an equality before the law." Demands were made in the senate for the punishment of members of the Annapolis naval academy graduating class who are alleged to have perpetrated cruel pranks upon Leonard Kaplan, a Jewish member of the class. Senator Sunderland, West Virginia, Republican, from whose state Kaplan was appointed, called the senate's attention to the incident. He told how the graduating class issued a year book, in which a page was devoted to each member of the class. A mock biography of Kaplan appeared in the last page of the book, which was unnumbered and perforated, so that it could be torn out and eliminated entirely from the record, and his name was left out of the class roll. Senator Sunderland denounced this action as "the refinement of cruelty," Senator King (Utah) wanted to know whether action had been taken to bring to the attention of the authorities in charge of the Annapolis academy. Senator Sunderland replied that he intended making further investigations. Senator McCumber (North Dakota) said he believed the authorities of the academy were responsible for the class book, and "could not conceive" of a book to be issued without being under the control of the academy in some form. "In my opinion," said Senator Sutherland, "we should not allow such an offense to pass unnoticed and uncorrected, nor should those guilty be allowed to go unpunished. If such incidents are permitted to pass unnoticed then it is better that our navy should be scrapped, because they show how far we have departed from the tenets and principles which have made our country great and powerful. "Regardless of nationality, regardless of race, in this country every man should stand on an equality before the law." ELITE WHIST CLUB The closing of the season of the Elite Bridge Whist Club at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Nathan Hunter. 2012 North 28th street, Monday even ing, was marked by the entertainment of the husbands of the members and a few friends at a very sumptuous dinner, which was served at 7:00 p. m. The men played against the women at whist and the men won, first prize going to Messrs Seymour and Solomon and the "booby" prize going to Messrs Pryor and Pinkett. This club is composed of some of Omaha's most prominent matrons. It was their desire to make the evening Monday all that the most punctilious could wish, and they succeeded finely. The guests are wondering when and how they can return so fine a service. DR. PRICE TERRELL TO HANG OUT SHINGLE Dr. Price Terrell, who graduated in medicine from the Meharry Medical School, Nashville, Tenn., where he ranked among the four highest in his class, and won an internship, which he declined, has arrived home, much to the joy of his wife and family and many friends. Price graduated from the Omaha high school and from the Creighton school of pharmacy and for some years conducted a drug store on North Twenty-fourth street, which he sold when he decided to study medicine. He will practice medicine here. The Monitor wishes him success. BETHEL BAPTIST CHURCH NEWS Rev. Thos. A. Taggart, Pastor There were splendid services all day Sunday. Rev. J. A.

P on Dyer Anti-Lycheling Bill. Congressman A. W. Jefferis, who voted right on the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, will deliver an address on that important measure before the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P., Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at St John's A. M. E. church. This bill is now before the United States Senate and is being bitterly assailed as an invasion of State's rights. It was passed by an overwhelming vote in the House of Representatives some months ago after bitter opposition chiefly from the South. The tariff, merchant marine, soldiers' bonus, and all other legislation from the colored American's standpoint is secondary to the question of the suppression of lynching at which the Dyer bill directly aims. The N. A. A. C. P. has been fighting for ten years to secure a federal law against lynching. Congressman Jefferis is an eloquent speaker and a capacity audience is anticipated. The public is invited.

YOUNG GIRL KILLS WHITE RAPIST; FREED Roxboro, N. C., June 30—Twelve- year-old Marie Lunright, daughter of a prosperous colored merchant here, received a verdict of acquittal here in connection with the killing of G. N. Walker, a white man, here last week. The girl killed the man in self-defense it is allegen, when he attempted to attack her in the rear of her father's large store. "Vote for Bunce Once" —Adv. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. VII—No. 52—Whole Number 364 HOTELS DENIED PRIVILEGE BY ORDER OF CHIEF OF POLICE Colored Men Cannot Be Employed as Bell Hops, Clerks or Elevator Operators in Hotels or Boarding Houses "SOCIAL REASONS" IS CLAIM Chief of Police Moran Says the Order Is Designed to Prevent Race Mixture and Curb the Social Evil. Tulsa, Okla., June 30—The barring from all hotels and rooming houses in the city of Negro bell hops, clerks and elevator operators was announced by Chief of Police Rees D. Moran Wednesday night. All of the hotels and rooming houses were notified of the order Wednesday night, Moran said, and the larger hotels given a short time to replace the Negroes with white employees. The order is looked upon as being the most far-reaching and one which touches more positions than any other issued under the present police administration. For the first time in Tulsa's history all of the hotels, from the smallest to the largest have been included in the prohibiting of Negro help. In the past the order has been directed to the rooming houses employing Negro clerks. At the present time only two of the larger hotels employ Negro bell hops and elevator operators. These two are the Hotel Tulsa and the Kaufman Hotel. The Ketchum has employed white bell boys and elevator operators for several months. No one thing is the direct cause of the new order, Chief Moran said, but general conditions existent in the hotels and rooming houses where Negro help is employed, made a continuance of such a state out of the question, he said. Prohibited by Ordinance "While we can't control absolutely the social evil, we can at least keep the Negro out of it and prevent a mixing of the white and black," Chief Moran said. "Through a city ordinance we can forbid the employ of such Negro help and we mean to do it." That arrests would follow if the order prohibiting the employing of Negro help in these positions was not followed in the allotted time by the hotel managers and rooming house proprietors was the statement of Chief Moran. While he was not certain, he said, that he believed the employer of such help was also liable under the law. THE ROYAL CIRCLE The Local Circle of the Supreme Royal Circle of Friends of the World will hold their first Annual Thanksgiving Services Sunday, July 2, 1922, at Pilgrim Baptist Church on 25th and Hamilton streets at 3 p. m.

MANNERS make the man, the want of it the fellow," was a maxim we were taught at a mother's knee, who many years ago, this very month, was called to a well-earned rest. Her teaching abides with us. Much of it is considered old-fashioned now. But would to God there were more of the old-fashioned customs in manners and morals in vogue today. How much better off we all would be. The polite "Yes, sir" and "No, sir", in response to questions from older folk, has yielded place to the curt "Yes" and "No", the former being considered a mark of subservience and servility. With this has gone that mark of gentle breeding which brot a man to his feet when a woman or aged person entered the room. Such customs and conventionalities are considered obsolete today in American society. Those who have the temerity to tenaciously cling to them are considered peculiar. Our free and easy way has largely dulled the conventional acts of politeness which are marks not only of refinement but also of that kindiness and considerateness which indicate nobility of character. Bad manners are the index of selfishness and thoughtlessness. Perhaps there is no place where this selfishness and thoughtlessness is more in evidence than in our street cars. Several glaring examples of this have come under our personal observation within the last few days. We shall cite but two: A white-haired woman, tottering from very age boarded a Dodge street car. The car was well-filled, many persons standing On the longitudinal seats on either side at the entry, four persons were seated. On one side were two colored men and two colored women, one colored man having politely surrendered his seat to a colored woman before the aged white woman had entered the car. He was standing. On the other seat there were three white men, young fellows, and one white woman. Be it said to the shame of those five men, that not one proffered his seat to that aged woman. The younger woman who sat beside the three men gave up her seat and gently helped the old lady into it. We hoped then that one of our men would give up his seat to the woman Western U.

But they let her stand. We considered the conduct of all those men as an indication of bad manners, certainly of selfishness and inconsiderateness. We regretted keenly to see this indication of bad manners upon the part of men of our race. The other fellows didn't do it. True, but their bad manners did not justify our being ill mannered. Let us show ourselves ladies and gentlemen, no matter whether the other fellow does or not. Remember, "manners make the man, the want of it the fellow." The other case was that of a cripple. We know the man well. He is asplendid gentleman. He generally boards his car every evening, at Fifteenth and Harney streets. Some men of our race happened to be passengers on this car and were seated near the door when our crippled friend got on. There were some white men seated there too. Did anyone offer this cripple a seat? No, indeed they did not. A woman offered him her seat. What a fine thing it would have been, if one of our men had shown his gentility of character and considerateness by tendering his seat to this cripple. It was the thing that should have been done. "The white men didn't do it." No, but what difference does that make? Two wrongs don't make a right. A white skin doesn't make a gentleman, nor does it indicate good breeding. Show yourself to be a MAN by your GOOD MANNERS. Good manners on the street cars will do a vast deal to mould a better public sentiment towards our people. A little thoughtfulness and politeness, or good old-fashioned manners will go a long way towards helping out matters. The vast majority of our people have good manners and conduct themselves properly, but we all suffer from the bad manners of the few. THE HERRIN MASSACRE HAD there not been so much armor unbelievable brutality vended up on colored Americans by white mobs, one would be disinclined to credit the reports of hellish fleudishness which comes from Herrin, Illinois, where a mob massacred in cold blood nearly two score non-union miners who were guilty of the offense of earning their daily bread.

The men had surrendered in good faith and were entitled to protection. Instead of this they were shot down like dogs. In their dying agony they were denied water and taunted even by women with babes in their arms. And this was by people of the "superior race", whose supremacy must be maintained. How horrible it all is! Then, too, the conscience of the community seems dead. Herrin, if press reports are to be believed, glories in this crime. The fast growing belief in America that a mob is justified in taking the law in its own hands, when individuals incur distafavor, is fast ripening the seeds of national decay. Leniency with mobs which have murdered black victims with demoniacal findnishment, is directly responsible for massacres like that at Herrin where the victims were white. What a sad commentary upon civilization are outbreaks of this character! REGISTER THE primaries are fast approaching, when the citizens are to nominate candidates for important offices. Every voter, male and female, who is not registered, should do so at once in order that he and she may vote at the primaries. See that you are registered and ask your neighbor if he is registered. SPINGARN MEDALIST The Monitor congratulates Mrs. Mary B. Talbert upon receiving the Spingarm medal. She is the first woman to receive this distinction. It is worthily bestowed. Our women everywhere have done and are doing worthy deeds which deserve some tangible recognition. PAVING We note with satisfaction that many districts in which are folk are residents, home-owners and tax-payers are being paved. These improvements have been long needed. Better street lighting of these districts and especially on North Twenty-fourth street are also needed. Keep up the good work. THE VILLAGE LYNCH-SMITH (With apologies to Longfellow) Andrea Razafkeriefo Under a spreading chestnut tree A red-eyed cracker stands, (A champion of democracy) A rope is in his hands, And a veteran warrior is he Of Southern Ku Klux Klans. His head is hammer-shaped and long and brainless as a pan, His brow is wet with moonshine sweat His brow is wet with moonshine sweat He loves to "rush the can;" And boast that common decency 'He owes no colored man. Week in, week out, from morn til night You can hear him madly blow Against social equality; Yet he will slyly go And hound some helpless colored girl When the evening sun is low. He goes on Sunday to the church And makes a lot of noise Proclaiming Christianity— Yea, you can hear his voice Singing in the village choir, And it makes his wife rejoice. It sounds to her like her father's voice Coaxing a pair of dice; She needs must think of him once more How in the tail he lies. And with her powder puff she wipes The eyeballs from her eyes. Onward through the he goes, Each morning sees some crime begun Each evening sees its close; Hatred attempted, hatred done, Has earned a night's repose. Thanks, thanks to thee, my cracker friend, For the lesson thou hast taught And it is this: your southern pride Means absolutely naught— Unless it means illiteracy And the evils you have wrought And the evils you have wrought. CONTEST CLOSES JULY 23,1922 The contest for the most popular young lady will close Monday, July 31. The young lady having the most votes on that date will receive a handsome manicure set.

HU THE POET'S INGLE NOOK The Things That Count Not what we have, but what we use; Not what we seem, but what we are; These are the things that mar or bless; The sum of human happiness. The things near by, not things afar; Not what we seem, but what we are; These are the things that make or break break, That give the heart its joy or ache. Not what seems fair, but what is true; Not what we dream, but good we do; These are the things that shine like gems, Like stars in Fortune's diadems. Not as we take, but as we give; Not as we pray, but as we live; These are the things that make for peace, Both now and after Time shall cease —Clarence Urmy. AN ASPIRATION To be ever conscious of my unity with God. To listen for His voice and hear no other call. To separate all error from my thought of man. To see him only as my Father's image. To show him reverence and share with him my holiest treasure. To keep my mental home a sacred place—golden with gratitude, redolent with Love, white with purity, cleansed of self-will. To send no thought into the world that will not cheer and heal and bless. To have no other aim than to make earth a fairer, holier, happier place; and to rise each day into a higher sense of Life and Love. ROCHESTER CITIZEN VISITS HIS SISTER John G.

A proud but truthful resident of Yonkers admitted that there were a lot of cuckoos there. He wasn't proud of the cuckoos, particularly. As far as cuckoos are concerned, his pride is strictly civic. If one must have cuckoos, he prefers the Swiss Mind, which are vocal only when wound up and then only at intervals. The Yonkers cuckoo doesn't have to be wound up. The imported eight-day cuckoo is a piker besides the Yonkers cuckoo. The Yonkers cuckoo stays awake half the night waiting for the dawn and each has the same pride in being the first to salute the earliest steam of the sky that a farmer's wife has in getting her washing out before a neighbor's line is strung. From the moment that the night becomes faintly luminous until about 9:35 a. m. the air is tremulous with cuckoos. From 9:35 to 10:05, the cuckoos knock off for lunch. Then they're at it again until dark. They yelp "cuck-oo" at every resident of Yonkers they see and even at strangers from Peekskill. When the street is utterly deserted they murmur "cuck-oo, cuck-oo" just for practice. BIRD DOESN'T HAVE TO FLY Washington Specimen Uses the Street Car as His Particular Means of Transportation. Now that spring is here, it may interest bird lovers to know that at least one bird has solved the problem of transportation without the use of wings. Birds are famous for their migrations, but hitherto they always have used wing power. Now comes along one local bird who gets himself from place to place with scarcely the flap of a wing. This bird came rolling down Pennsylvania avenue about eleven o'clock one morning last week. He was perched on the roof of a street car coming from Georgetown. When the car stopped at Eleventh street the bird alighted, and walked gravely up and down the platform. He was a fine, big fellow, with a black body and a blue head, but did not look like a blackbird. After surveying the post office department for a bit, the bird flew over to a car about to leave for Mount Vernon, and established himself on the roof. When the car pulled out, the bird was with it.—Washington Star. The World's Greatest Dam Plans have been made to build a dam on the Colorado river which will hold back a volume of water equal to two years' flow of the entire 1,800 miles of rushing river. The dam is to be 700 feet high, approximately the height of the Woolworth building in New York city. The dam will form a reservoir with an area of 200 square miles and an average depth of 350 feet. This body of water will constitute the largest artificial lake in the world. One western railroad system is already planning to operate a fleet of steamers to carry tourists over this man-made lake to the Grand canyon, the wonder spot of America. The Panama canal is the only undertaking ever attempted in America which may be compared in magnitude or boldness of conception to this engineering project, which will transform an empire of waste into a region of productivity—World's Work. Robin Gets the Worm Robins are growing fat on worms in Lafayette square. The grass there must be literally alive with worms, for no robin seems to have any difficulty whatever in picking up the best kind of living. You will see one of the birds hop along, then suddenly reach down. He begins to pull. Up comes his head with a worm dangling to his beak, one end of the worm held tenaciously by the robin, the other clinging fast to mother earth. Bracing himself the bird throws his entire weight in one final heave. He then consumes half the worm, and files away with the remainder. The performance does not strike one as cruel, for both bird and worm are operating under the laws of nature.—Washington Star. On Easy Payments! $15.00 Down and 5.00 Per Month WESTERN REAL ESTATE CO.

All The Time Out of Egypt's Sand Near View of the Great Pyramid (Prepared by the National Geographic So- ciety, Washington, D. C.) Stanley journeyed thousands of miles to lay bare the secrets of Africa to the world; but in the northeastern corner of the same continent even more thrilling exploration has been in progress during the past few decades through a relatively few feet of sand. The excavators who with pick and shovel have been bringing to light the details of Egypt's ancient civilization and the everyday life of her people, where before only the barest outline of the nation's history was available, are as truly discoverers of unknown civilizations as far-faring Marco Polos or Pizarros. For a long time Egypt was to the rest of the world little more than a sea of sand with a few dominant monuments—the pyramids, the Sphinx, the colossal of "Mennon"—to point to her past greatness. Relics of various dynasties existed side by side, their relations often unknown. The names of many kings and some of their noblest exploits were known, but there was general ignorance in regard to the less exalted Egyptians, to the activities that made up the life of this mysterious nation beside the Nile four and perhaps five and six or more thousands of years ago. Grave robbers, whose activities extend back into the days long before the Protomiles, had riffed many tombs and so made much of the early scientific excavations barren of results. And the early excavation of Egyptologists was itself a careless procedure aiming at the big goals and destroying and burying many small objects of incalculable value in the indications they might have given of manners and customs. Recent exploration in Egypt has been a vastly different matter. Modern efficiency methods have been adapted to the delving for the buried secrets of the ancients, and now every cubic foot of sand about a promising site is combed or actually sifted that no broken fragment of pottery, scrap of papyrus, or jeweled bauble may escape detection. In early days the most common method of disposing of the removed sand and debris was by means of basket brigades which dumped their loads nearby. Now light tramways are used and care is taken to haul the discarded material to a point where it is definitely known that nothing of value will be covered. Where formerly a "find" was a "find" and was assembled with all others, now any object partially uncovered is photographed in place frequently as the sand is removed, so that no possible significance of its position or relation to other objects will be overlooked; and before it is stored it is carefully tagged, numbered and card-indexed. Getting Real Picture of Ancient Life. These painstaking methods have fully justified themselves. Instead of having a confused mass of facts, many of them most interesting in themselves, but often perplexing, we are getting by degrees a complete, intelligible picture of Egyptian life over a period of thousands of years. Seemingly unimportant things help greatly to fill in the picture. One would hardly make the mistake of picturing the old Egyptians scratching matches to light the kitchen fire, but there was for long no true picture to take the place of fancy. None of the discovered hieroglyphics showed the making of fire, and it appeared to be entirely without religious significance. In recent years, however, one of the new school of excavators sifted from the sand a well-preserved fire-bow and drill and even a board with burnt holes, and the problem was solved. Temporary towns besides the sites of great engineering projects are no new thing in the world. Cities for laborers were constructed for use while some of the pyramids were under construction. One such town has been completely uncovered and gives a cross-section of life under such conditions more than 4,000 years ago. The town was congested and had sections like the slums of today with the crowded dwellings opening on narrow alleys. There were some separate dwellings and some barrack-like structures presumably for unmarried workers. But even in the most humble houses evidences were found that their occupants lived on a higher plane than might have been supposed. Various manuscripts were found including a medical treatise and several wills. And in the separate dwellings were found such toys as tops and dolls and tiny bouts to show that the pastimes of children of that remote time were not vastly different from those of today. At the very border line between the pre-historic and the historic in Egypt, civilization, it has been found, had reached a considerable degree of development. The tombs of the first Egyptian kings, who lived anywhere from 5,000 to 7,000 years ago, are such as no burbarians could have erected a fact which pushes the beginning of Egyptian civilization into a very dim past indeed. This was before the days of pyramid building when the tombs were underground structures. Preserved in the Tombs. The furniture of this distant period was by no means crude as one might assume it would have been. There were ebony chests skilfully built with ivory, stools with ivory legs carved like the legs of bulls, vessels cut from alabaster and ewers of copper wrought with the cunning that only highly skilled craftsmen could have possessed. Daintily fashioned bracelets on the withered arms of the mummy of Egypt's first known queen add further to the record of the progress in the arts which Egyptud had attained when we catch our first glimpse of it down the ages. And there is a pretty little picture of the family relations of this ancient society. Besides the tomb of the first Egyptian king at Abydos is that of his daughter, and carved on her tomb the pet name by which her father knew her—"Sweetheart." Even at that early date the court was socially highly organized. Womanhood was sincerely respected in ancient Egypt and especially was this true of the mothers. What might be called Egypt's substitute for the fifth commandment ignored the father. It was an injunction: "Never forget what thy mother hath done for thee. She bare thee and nourished thee in all manner of ways. If thou forgettest her, she might blame thee; she might lift up her hands to God. and He would hear her complaint." In many families it was the custom for titles and property to pass not to the eldest son but to the son of the eldest daughter. There was no "mother-in-law joke" in Egypt. To the mind of the Egyptian it was the natural thing that his wife's relations should take a deeper interest in his affairs than his blood relations. Much of the ability of those who live today to look into the past of Egypt, to see something of its flesh-and-blood life, and to understand somewhat of the joys and sorrows of its people, must be ascribed to the preserving powers of the desert air of that sandy land. The perfect condition of some of the objects recovered from tombs is marvelous. One of the best examples of this was the tomb of the noble parents of the great Queen Tyl. The discoverer of the large airy chamber that was provided as a home for these important personages declared that it seemed the room might have been shut up only a few weeks before. Beautifully carved and inlaid armchairs stood about, on them down-stuffed cushions that could have been sat upon without injury. In another part of the room were "twin beds" perfectly preserved. The most amazing discovery of all was that of a jar of honey, 3,300 old, still a fluid and still having its recognizable odor. OLD CAPTAIN By SIGNE H. ANDERSON 1922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate "Tramp, tramp, tramp. The boys are marching." These words drifted to the ears of the gray-headed old soldier sitting by the open window lost in thought. Many long years had gone by since he had first heard those words sung. He could see "the boys" seated before the camp fire in "65, reading letters from home or singing to keep up a semblance of cheerfulness; or tramping over miles of rutty roads, and singing to keep their spirits up. For many years, now, he had been living with his oldest daughter and her family. Yes, Susie had always been kind and daughterly to him, but, just the same, he didn't want to be constantly reminded that he was getting old and feeble. It was "Father, don't do this," and "Father, don't do that; you are too old," or "you are not strong enough." Every year previous to this one he had marched with "the boys" on Memorial day, and each year had found the number smaller and smaller, until this year there would be but five. As "Old Captain," as he was fondly called by the children of the neighborhood, sat there lost in thought, he was rudely brought back to the present by the voices of his daughter and her husband. "Father is really too old to try to march this Memorial day. We must persuade him that it would be better for him to sit on the plaza and watch the parade," Susie was saying. Persuade him! Indeed! Perhaps this would be the last chance for him; no one knew what might happen before another year rolled by. A bit of the old fighting spirit was awakened in the aged soldier. Hed show them a thing or two! He had quite made up his mind to march, and march he would. So each day, while Susie was busy in the kitchen, "Old Captain" crept softly upstairs to the spare room closet, tucked a bit of his blue uniform under his jacket, as softly crept down again, and sat, apparently lost in thought, in his favorite chair by the window. By and by Susie would come in to tell him that she was going upstairs to straighten up the bedrooms and to call her if he wanted anything. Of course, he wasn't able to do anything for himself! Perhaps she wouldn't be surprised! As soon as he thought she was safely out of hearing, he went to the shed back of the house and carefully hid that part of his uniform. Each day he did this until every part of his uniform was carefully hidden away. Memorial day arrived, but nothing had been said to "Old Captain" about not taking part in the parade. However, the time had come. "Father, I don't believe you had better march this year. You are not strong enough, and I'm sure it would be too much for you. You can sit on the plaza and watch the parade as it goes by. Of course, you will agree with me and see that I mean it for your own good." Susie paused. "I will point out the different people as they near the house, and it will be just as if you were there yourself. There, I knew you'd understand." It was just as he had thought. He wasn't even given a chance to remonstrate; it was all settled without his "yes" or "no." "All right, Susie. I am going for a short walk about the farm," and he pushed back his chair and walked slowly from the room. "I didn't think he'd take it so easy," Susie remarked to her husband, after her father had left the room. "He didn't have much to say about it, I must say," was the answer. Meanwhile "Old Captain" made straight for the wood-shed and with hands trembling with excitement donned his uniform, then made his way "cross lots" to the meeting place on the common. The morning crept on and the time came for the parade to pass the house. came for the parade to pass the house. "Where can father be??" asked Susie of her husband. "He would feel pretty bad to miss the parade. I've looked everywhere around the house and have called for him several times." Just then the sound of music could be heard. "Susie, Susie, come quick. See who is in the parade!" And there was "Old Captain," with head up and eyes sparkling, marching with the rest. Historic Church Rededicated Historic Old Stone church at Staunton, Va., was rededicated recently, a new addition having been completed. Old Stone, located at Ft. Defiance, is the oldest Presbyterian church in Virginia, January 22 was the anniversary of its original dedication, which was in 1749. The building was started in 1738, and sand had to be carried on horseback from the river, several miles away, and men and women of the settlement remaining together and accompanying the trains for safety, the men going armed for protection against the Indians, who were still numerous in the valley. Fuel From Sugar Cane. Because of the high cost of gasoline in South Africa, motor fuels are manufactured from sugar cane, corn and certain classes of cactus, all of which provide a plentiful supply of alcohol. THE MONTION MARRIAGE MADE A BUSINESS Practice in France That Can Hardly Be Said to Savor Much of Romance. Anyone can marry—anyone, everyone!—if they have a business manager who knows the business. Since the war, in France, weddings have doubled, births increased and deaths declined in the most astonishing manner. Now, as all know, marriage does not necessitate a business manager—the old helder-skelter way of falling in love by hazard will undoubtedly continue very much in vogue; but if anyone imagines that marriage is not meeting with the times and yielding to business organization, they know little of what is happening in France today! Never before have girls done such harrying in France—with available bridgroomes so reduced in number! What is more, this organized promotion of marriage gives every girl a chance—despite handicaps of unacquaintance, social disadvantage, plain locks, lack of money, lack of family, lack of pushing friends to aid the match. Your business manager's your pushing friend! Helps girls to marry? Helps men, also. Perhaps even, more so. . . . You will object. And romance? "But the quality, monstere, think of the quality" said mademe. "Durable, solid, the best mark in France! Before the young folks are allowed to meet, both had been investigated, weighed, compared and balanced by social experts and the pairing-off O. K'd in final conference! Now, there's a marriage that will last. It's got good wear in it!" PARROT FISH ODD CREATURE Must Have Been Devised When Mother Nature Was in Unusually Freakish Mood. If some one asked you, "What is that which has a beak like that of a parrot and cheek pouchs like those of a monkey, lives in the sea and chews the cud like a cow?" you might imagine it was some kind of catch riddle. Yet there is a creature which answers this description perfectly. It is called the parrot fish. The upper and lower jaws have become hardened into a sharp, curved beak, which is just the tool required for lopping off lumps of tough weed. Each piece slipped off by the beak is passed into one of the two curious pouchs which adorn the cheeks, and there it remains until the parrot fish feels that he has collected enough to make a good meal. He then lies on the bottom and chews the cud by means of the splendid set of teeth which nature has placed, not in his mouth, but in his throat.—Exchange. Time's Changes in England. Time's Changes in England. The poacher, the trespasser, the man who by accident lets his pigs or heifers up upon the public road, the archon who robs an orchard, and many minor rural "malefactors" are, it is generally claimed, being more personally dealt with by modern country magistrates, in England. The abolition of the old-time benches of squires and landowners, whose right to be made justices of the peace was almost regarded as hereditary, and their substitution by men of integrity in every walk of life, and now by women, has wrought a change in rural police court justice which the country mind understands and appreciates to the full. On a country bench recently, a prominent landowner, his agent, one of his laborers were all adjudicating together. IT PAYS TO ADVERTISE in THE MONITOR Ships Intended for Operation on Lakes Far Inland Are Now Transported Piecemeal. A well-known shipbuilding firm in the north of England is at the present time building a vessel which will be carried to Africa in portions. It will be re-assembled at its ultimate destination. Every year ships are built in Great Britain for use on lakes and inland waters in all parts of the world. Usually these are built and bolted together in the shipyard before being taken to pieces and sent to distant parts in separate packages. A large mission steamer built some years ago for use on Lake Nyassa, in Africa, was erected in England as if for launching. But no rivets were used; bolts and nuts held the steel framework together. The sides, port and starboard, were painted in different colors, and every bar, plate, and piece of steelwork bore a different number and letter. Thus the builders in Africa could tell at a glance whether a plate belonged to one side or the other; the exact position it was intended to occupy was denoted by the reference number and letter. In order to facilitate transport, this steamer was divided into over three thousand packages, each of which weighed from half a hundredweight to five hundredweights. The greatest difficulty encountered in sending these ships abroad is with the boilers and masts. The boilers weigh many tons, and the masts are difficult to handle on account of their length. BELONGED TO FAMOUS MAN Chair Once Used by Primate Bramhall Restored to Place in Cathedral at Armagh. An ancient chair which was dedicated recently at Armagh (Ireland) cathedral by the primate was a great find, being the oak chair belonging to Primate Bramhall, who came into office shortly after Cromwell's time. For many years efforts have been made to trace the chair, but it was only a few weeks ago that it was discovered to be in the hands of a well-known London expert. The chair was submitted to a famous antiquarian who at once identified it, with the result that it has returned to its original home—the cathedral. At the top of the chair is carved a large eye—the all-seeing eye; beneath it a crown after a miter, and under that the arms of the See of Armagh. Under this is the true cross, and below it again 1631—the date on which Archbishop Bramhall was enthroned. On the last panel are the capital letters, "M.R.H." standing for Armagh. O. S. SPILLMAN REPUBLICAN Candidate for Attorney General EXPERIENCED LAWYER Fourteen Years Active Practice FORMER COUNTY ATTORNEY MEMBER OF CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION 1919-20 GRADUATE: Highland Park College—University of Nebraska Law School PRIMARIES, JULY 18, 1922 Afraid of the Classics. A farce comedy recently opened in New York with the title "The Merchant of Venus!" The critics praised it and it was apparently destined for a long run, but despite the fact it was in the smallest theater in town very small audiences came. The manager discovered that people thought it was a burlesque of a Shakespearean play. He changed the name to "Because of Helen!" and the theater was filled every night thereafter.—Atanta Constitution. Talent Served Him Well. A story is told that in the time of Frederick the Great there was a soldier who played the lewiswar so well that his fame spread. When on guard one day he was asked by Frederick to go to the palace to play for him, the soldier refusing as he would be punished if he left his post. However, when he at last played at the palace the king was so pleased that he gave the soldier honorable discharge from military service. Owls in Old University City Owls in Old University City. Owls, as is proper in the case of birds of such renowned solemnity and secluded habit, have always exhibited a particular liking for Oxford university. Recently they have established a new colony in the lvy-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 dream of hanging is sad to sig- nify that a serious illness threatens someone you love, or it may be great danger is lying in wait for them. Talent Served Him Well.

Mandolin Supplanted An aristocratic musical instrument, still found, but very popular in the middle ages was the lute. At the present day its direct descendant—the mandolin has all but entirely supplanted it. The lute is the *ud of the Moors*, even in its very name—el-ud which means merely "the wood." It was introduced by the Saracens at the time of the invasion. From Spain it gradually spread over Europe, as also did its contemporaries the "gitter" and "rebecc." All three were favorite instruments in medieval Europe. Change Your Key. The fellow who is always harping on one string soon gets out of tune with the world.—Boston Transcript
