COLORED YOUTH IS WALKING AROUND THE WORLD State Historical Society LIFTING LIFT $2.00 a Year 5c a Copy HOW SEGREGATION WAS SQUELCHED AT LATE CONVENTION Colored Delegates Bring Matter to the Attention of Executive Committee Which Promptly Disapproves Distasteful Plan. BROTHERHOOD IS MAIN NOTE Some Impressions of the Sixteenth International Sunday School Convention by a New York Delegate. (Special to The Monitor.) Kansas City, Mo., July 7.—The Sixteenth International Sunday School convention was in session here from June 21 to June 27. Prominent Sunday school workers from practically the entire world were present. Ringing words on the brotherhood of man and living true to Christian ideals were voiced in speeches and resolutions. The local committee of arrangements, however, had planned to segregate "the brother in black", in a manner which jangled harshly out of tune with the dominant note of the convention. Fortunately, the Executive committee disapproved of this and fraternal action accorded with fraternal words. Mr. John G. Lee of Rochester, N.Y., gives the following interesting impressions of the convention, which in addition to telling of how segregation was squelched, throws instructive sidelights upon phases of the convention which will be pleasing to your readers: "Joining the Timothy Stand By Party at Buffalo on June 21, we were off at midnight for the great convention which was to unite the International Sunday School association and the Sunday School council of Evangelical denominations, thereby forming the new International Sunday School Council of Religious Education. Eight thousand delegates were anticipated, which anticipation was fulfilled. "We arrived early Wednesday morning in the thriving gateway of the middle west and went at once for registration. We found that thorough preparations had been made for the convention which was held in the spacious and conveniently arranged City Auditorium, with a seating capacity of 10,000. We were then presented with a copy of the greatest educational program ever put on by a Christian body for the development of religious education, consisting of exhibits, lectures, pageants and fine arts, and furnished by the foremost experts. On approaching the main entrance with our first Negro acquaintances, we were impressed by the fact that all colored delegates were being directed by the ushers to a certain section in the balcony marked A. This segregation seemed to us to be entirely out of place in a great Christian convention of this character and we sought the best means of ascertaining the mind of the convention, and to successfully lodge a protest. Consequently on the second morning, having our bearings, and being represented on the platform and on the Executive committee by James W. Eikhelberger of the A. M. E. Zion church, Dr. A. M. Townsend of the Publishing Board of Baptist Sunday schools, and Byrd Prillerman, president of the State Institute of Charlestown, W Va., we immediately called a meeting of protest and delegated these men to present our resolution to the Executive committee. This was done. The assurance was given us that the Executive committee knew nothing of this arrangement, did not approve the ushers' actions, advised us to ignore this request and sit wherever we pleased. This rule maintained to the end. "The Negro delegates, though few in number, there being about 75 registered, were from Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Alabama, Ohio, Mississippi, New York, Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Arkansas and Iowa, and among them were ministers, educators and doctors. Aside from the busy program we found time for several group meetings and all were loud in their approval of the convention program, since it had included so much of direct interest to the Negro in ideas of better training and truer brotherhood. The stereoptic views, showing the effects of mob violence and winding up with the thoughtful Negro and showing of outstanding types in our colleges made a lasting impression. The forceful address by John M. Gandy, president of the State Normal School, Petersburg, Va., on "Redeeming a Race Through Its Children", brought joy to our hearts and its ent- THE MONITOR husiastic reception by the convention, a new ray of hope to us all. We presented him a resolution of appreciation. "The necessity of efficient teachers, of teacher training of daily Bible and vacation schools, with proper grading was sufficiently emphasized. "When the report of the Committee on Resolutions had advanced to section two, on "Law Enforcement", we realized that nothing had been said on lynching. Our men were alert and J. W. Eichelberger and John M. Gandy asked that the committee insert the words 'We are opposed to all forms of lynching' to which the convention agreed. "As we left the convention there was ringing in our ears 'Listen to the Lambs' by our own R. Nathaniel Dett, which the large chorus had so beautifully rendered, and our thoughts and hearts went out to the good citizens of Kansas City for their goor fellowship and liberal entertainment." NEW PARTY NAMES RACE PASTOR FOR U. S. SENATE RACE Lineinl Independents Flag Ku Klux Lynchings and Republican Party —Adopt Party Platform. PLACE TICKET IN THE FIELD Asbury Park, N. J. July 7.—Two hundred delegates of the recently organized Lincoln Independent Republican party convening here unanimously nominated Rev. Wm. S. Smith, pastor of the Monumental Baptist church, Jersey City, for United States senator from New Jersey. The convention named a committee to select a candidate for governor. A platform was adopted arraigning Secretary of the Navy Denby for "insisting upon the Haitian government remaining in hands of the lawless elements" and condemning the republican party for its alleged failure to halt lynching atrocities. "The investigation of the Ku Klux Klar," says the platform, "was suddenly surprised and the diabolical klan is still permitted to murder and terrorize men, women and children while the great republican party supinely maintains a passive attitude as to the conduct of these villains." ALL COLORED JURY FOR PATERNITY CASE IN OHIO (Associiatde Negro Press.) Hamilton, Ohio, July 7.—What is believed to be the first case in the county, possible the entire country ever tried before a jury composed entirely of colored people, began in Judge Clarence Murphy's court last Friday morning. It was a paternity case brought by Clara Patterson, colored, of Middletown, against Charles Gates, colored, also of Middletown. The plaintiff is represented by Attorney John A. Crist of Middletown and P. P. Boli of Hamilton represents Gates. The situation is regarded unusual in court history. The regular petit jury was needed in a criminal case in Judge Walter Harland's court and in issuing for a special venire to try this case, orders were given to summen colored people. Eighteen were called, six of whom were excused from service. The jury is composed entirely of men. On the jury are Charles Conway, Frank Hogan, Alfred Nixon, Charles Howard, Frank Berry, George Kinley, Sam Lee, Horace Preston, George Reese, Alfred Bates, B. M. Fox, Peff Hodges. All of the jurors are from Hamilton. It is the first time within the memory of present court officials that a jury in any case has been composed entirely of colored people.

TALBERT TO MME. GALLI-CURCI New York, July 3.—Mme. Cole-Talbert, one of the chief artists to record for the Black Swan Records, recently scored such a big hit before a large white audience in Detroit that Rex G. White of the Detroit News made favorable reference to this wonderful singer in the following fashion: "Florence Cole-Talbert, declared by many to have a voice rivaling Galli-Curci, was the star of the evening. This brilliant singer found difficulty in getting away from her audience although she obliqued with four numbers. — — Her voice is a soprano of great range and sweetness, her vocal flexibility is marked and gives ease and clarity to her utterance. She made a tremendous hit with her audience." That the music loving public appreciates high class music as well as "blues" is being evidenced by the big demand made since June for "The Bell Song" and "The Kiss" which numbers Mme. Talbert recorded for the Pace Phonograph corporation. WALKING A This issue The Monitor starts upon its EIGHTH YEAR and our struggles and adversities, but they only rise.

CONGRESSMAN JEFFERIS ADDRESSES N. A. A. C. P. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People met at St. John A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. The president made an interesting and instructive talk on the work of the local branch. Attorney C. E. Walsh, chairman of the legal redress committee, gave interesting statistics on the progress made by the Negro for the past fifty years, using other peoples who have been enslaved for comparison. He stated that out of the colored people alone of Omaha at least 5,000 should be members of the local branch. Congressman Albert W. Jefferis, the honor guest and principal speaker for the afternoon, delivered a scholarly and instructive address. He said among other things: "The selfishness of the white man unrestrained by law is the cause of all the evils in this country. Obedience to law upon the part of all citizens is absolutely essential to the stability of the nation." He discussed as the chief factors in development the land upon which and the government under which people live. Contrary to the belief of some of the erstwhile politicians he failed to mention politics. The Rev. Russell Taylor and sons gave an old time quartett which was well received. The Rev.

MAN WHO ESCAPED FROM GEORGIA MOB HANGED ON GALLOWS "Act of Providence" Plea Fails an New Scaffold Is Built at Jail— Many Pleas Futile, LIGHTNING STRIKES GIBBET Irvington, Ga., July 7.—Was the blast of lightning which last week destroped the gallows on which James Denson, 18-year old youth, was sentenced to die, a second "act of Providence?" This is the question being propounded throughout the length and breath of the state following his official hanging last Friday morning, ficial hanging on June 16, the date set for the execution. Denson established a precedent in this country, when he escaped from a mob several weeks ago, after he had been taken from the county jail. Following his sensational escape from the mob, and his re- capture by the authorities, a movement was started by white and colored citizens to obtain a commutation of his sentence, stating that his escape was "an act of Providence." Gallows Destroyed. Less than a week before the date set for the execution, the gallows on which the youth was to be hanged was entirely destroyed during a fierce thunderstorm. Many people, interested in the case, renewed their pleas that the lad's sentence be commuted, but to no avail. COLLEGES GAVE DEGREES New York City, July 7—Statistics in a current issue of the Crisis indicate that colored and white colleges throughout the land conferred degrees upon 702 colored men and women this month. White colleges graduated thirteen lawyers, five doctors, three pharmacists, four engineers and some seventy-seven bachelors. Colored colleges graduated fifty-two physicians, sixty-eight pharmacists, seventy-two dentists, fifty-six lawyers, twenty-one ministers and over three hundred bachelors. The outstanding feature of the year was the appointment of Julius H. Lewis as an assistant professor of Pathology in the University of Chicago, white. TERRILL CONFIRMED Washington, D. C., July 7—At an executive session the United States Senate confirmed President Harding's nomination of Judge Robert H. Terrill to succeed himself as judge of the District of Columbia. Judge Terrill was civil magistrate in Washington from 1902 to 1909. In 1909 he was appointed judge in the Municipal Court by President Roosevelt. He was subsequently reappointed by Taft and Woodrow Wilson. The Senate confirmed the 1914 appointment after more or less sensational struggle. LINCOLN INSTITUTE FAILS TO RECEIVE APPROPRIATION Jefferson City, Mo., July 7-By decision of the Court of Appeals, the State Legislature has no power to appropriate $500,000 out of the school funds for Lincoln university.

GROWING THANK YOU WORLD PEDESTRIAN REACHES OMAHA ON WESTWARD JOURNEY Douglas Lee of Baltimore, Twenty Years Old, Given Three Years and a Half to Walk Around the World STOPS OVER NIGHT IN OMANA Passage Engaged from San Francisco to China, But Must Walk on Board. Ship With the Same Average That the spirit of adventure animates our youth as it does that of other races is borne out by the fact that last. Thursday night about seven o'clock, a slender youth, weighing 122 pounds, dressed in khaki, and carrying a pack weighing forty-two pounds, presented himself at the Grant Street branch of the Y. W. C. A. and introduced himself to Miss Franklin B. Watkins, the secretary, as Douglas Lee, member of Baltimore Y. M. C. A., en route by foot around the world on a $5,000 wager. Mr. Lee was in quest of the colored Y. M. C. A. but not finding that he sought information at the sister organization. Miss Watkins immediately got in touch with Messrs T. P. Mahammitt and W. G. Haynes of the executive committee of the embryonic branch of the Y. W. C. A., and these gentlemen courteously took Mr. Lee in charge and made arrangements for lodging that night at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Charles H. Hicks. Mr. Lee, who is the son of a prominent Baltimore lawyer, is keenly alert and intelligent and tells an interesting story of his travels. He is modest and unassuming, and seems to have the grit to make him stick to his big job. Two boys left Baltimore together, but Lee's companion threw up the sponge in Ohio. The young pedestrians left Baltimore, April 18th. They were given only $5,00, the conditions being that they must earn their living on the way. Lee, because he is the only one who has continued the trip, has had no difficulty in doing this so far. He starts as a rule on his journey early every morning, and walks until late at night, taking such intermissions through the day as may be necessary. He aims to average not less than thirty miles a day. Passage has been arranged for him from San Francisco to China, but he must walk on the boat every day and cover the same number of miles that he would were he on land. On reaching China his itinerary will be arranged by a Baltimore who is a United States official there. He has been given three years and five months to complete the journey and if he fulfills the conditions of the wager he will be given $5,000. Stopping here over Thursday night he hit the road early Friday forming on his westward journey. McKAY. POET. RESIGNS New York, July 7—Claude McKay, made famous by his recent volume "Harlem Shadows", and hailed as the foremost colored poet living, sent in his resignation recently as an executive editor of the Liberator, a white radical socialist magazine. The Liberator, it was said, was becoming "Negroized". Recently a dance of the Liberator friends and well wishers was raised by police and stopped because the poet was discovered dancing with Crystal Eastman, a highly educated white woman. 26 EX-SERVICE MEN IN H.

MEMBER OF BEND MOTORCYCLE BEND MOTORCYCLE FIRST IN SERVICE THE REASON WHY SOME well-meaning people misunderstand why self-respecting colored people object to segregation. It is not because they are opposed to being with their own people. Left to their free choice they naturally group themselves. Nor is it because they are particularly anxious to live beside or sit beside white people in public places. In fact the self-respecting, clean, well-behaved and well-dressed colored person strenuously objects to either living by or being seated next to dirty, ill-mannered people, white or black. The objection to segregation in domicile and in public places, which Americans seem to be moving heaven and earth to effect, lies in the PRINCIPLE AT ISSUE. That principle is this: That Colored Americans, no matter how well-educated, well-behaved or respectable they may be, are either morally nor physically fit, on the sole ground of race or color, to associate with any group of people commonly classed as white, therefore separate provision must be made for them. It is the stigmatization of a group of people as fundamentally inferior and undesirable, which is such a damnable heresy that every red-blooded, self-respecting citizen of our race indignantly repudiates it. It is primarily designed to humiliate and degrade. This is the crux of the whole matter. This is the principle at issue, and it is so plain that any reasonably fair-minded and intelligent person should see it. Voluntary association is natural and agreeable to all concerned. It is the resultant of free choice. Segregation is artificial and disagreeable and is the resultant of force and coercion, which always bring resentment. HARVARD. THE Harvard alumni have honored themselves by protesting the policy of President Lowell of excluding colored students from the dormitories of fair Harvard, and aiming by this pardidious plan to ultimately eliminate colored students from the privileges of the institution. The men of our race who have graduated from Harvard have maintained by character, scholarship and public service the highest traditions of their Alma Mater, as the protestants forcibly point out.

That her alumni, who revere her traditions, should rally throughout the land to save her from this ignoble surrender proves that the Harvard spirit of justice and right still survives. RANG TRUE. THE Monitor relies that Christian principles dethroned anti-Christian hypocrisy at the recent great International Sunday School Convention at Kansas City, Mo., when the executive committee promptly disapproved the Jim Crow arrangements of the local committee in segregating the colored delegates. A splendid program, stressing the imperative need of striving to live up to the ideals of Christ in recognizing the brotherhood of man, had been arranged and we are pleased to say, was successfully carried out by this vast army of Christian workers. But this program was threatened with nullification when it was found that in direct violation of the principles that the convention was seeking to emphasize in its program of addresses, pageants, exhibits and conferences, the colored delegates, men and women of the highest character, culture and refinement, were being seated in a section especially seapart for them. With commendable judgment and self-respect the colored delegates respectfully brought this distasteful matter of segregation before the Executive Committee, which promptly disavowed knowledge of or responsibility for it, expressed its disapprobation of it and saw to it that the order of the local committee was set aside. This was as it should be. It was a triumph of Christian principle over anti-Christian prejudice and all broad minded and right thinking people will rejoice that upon this issue the convention rang true. SCRUGGS' WITHDRAWAL THE Monitor regrets that Mr. Scruggs has withdrawn from the legislative race in the Ninth District.

Scruggs was the only colored candidate and we believe he should have stuck despite the fact that he has been ill. His late withdrawal impresses us as a stupid political blunder, if not an inexeusable betrayal of confidence. ON THE HONOR ROLL THE Nebraska congressmen who voted for the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill which was passed after a bitter fight in the House of Representatives on January 22, 1922, by a vote of 230 to 119, were WILLIAM E. ANDREWS. Remember them for good, in their respective districts, when they seek political honors. They are on the honor roll. Stand by them as loyalty as they stood by this to us all-important measure. Congressman Jefferis is a candidate for United States senator. His vote on the Dyer Bill entitles him to the solid vote of our people. Let every colored voter, male and female, go to the primaries July 18 and cast their vote for ALBERT W. JEFFERIS for United States Senator. McMULLEN FOR GOVERNOR AS the primaries are drawing near we desire to again remind our readers that in our judgment the best man for us to support for governor is Adam McMullen of Beatrice. As soon as Mr. McMullen filed The Monitor frankly impressed our advocacy of his candidacy. We know him personally and believe him to be capable, honest, fearless and fair-minded. We feel confident that none of our citizens will ever have any cause to regret voting for Adam McMullen for governor of Nebraska. WHAT OTHER EDITORS :: :: SAY :: :: LAW FOR LYNCHERS John Reynolds, late captain in the A. E. F., wants to see this sort of news in the papers: The sheriff threw open a window and spoke somewhat as follows: "I am the sheriff of this county, sworn to uphold the law and protect the prisoners in my custody. On each side of this jail I have a Lewis gun and a man who can shoot it. I have a splendid supply of Mills grenades, which were manufactured for use against human beings, but which I am prepared to sacrifice on this occasion. I call your attention to this beautiful little sawed-off Winchester shotgun which I hold in my hand. Now, you cowardly, murdering blackguards, if you want my prisoner, come and take him." He's right. There has been far too much of the mob having its own way. Law was never established by the blind compromise of politics, but only by a wise use of force. Any community that will take the trouble can have law and order. It is the cheapest, most valuable thing on earth.—Collier's Weekly. VOTED RIGHT ON DYER BILL PETER H. Albert W.

CHARLES S. ELGUTTER FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE Well-Qualified for Position Sought by His Training, Scholarship and Broadmindedness. Our paper takes special pleasure in recommending to the voters of Omaha Charles S. Elgutter, candidate for Municipal Judge. He has been a resident of Omaha for fifty years, and was educated in our public schools. He is broad minded and public spirited. He served the city as a member of the School Board, and also as director and attorney of the Omaha Auditorium when the Auditorium was built and turned over to the people of Omaha. He presented to the Public Library its first painting for the founding of an art gallery, "The Old Hunter", by Albert Rothery A number of his books are in the public library, notably "A Citizen of the United States", a publication which particularly commends itself to the Colored people of Omaha. The book is an argument for the enforcement of the principles of the Thirteenth, Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendmentds to the Constitution of the United States which supplement and give effect to the Emancipation Proclamation of President Lincoln. Mr. Elgutter states in his book, quoting from "A Citizen of the United States": "The Fourteenth Amendment, this addition to the Bill of Rights, is of great historical importance. Its important purpose following the Civil War of 1861 and the abolition of slavery in 1863, was to throw about the unfortunate Negro race further civil and political protection, which the Thirteenth Amendment abolishing slavery failed to secure. In a spirit of magnanimity, the Fourteenth Amendment was enacted for the Negro's express benefit. Henceforth the Negro and his descendants were created citizens of the United States and of the particular states wherein they reside, and the intention was that they were to be given all the benefits and all the immunities which by right of free men white citizens of the United States enjoy." Mr. Elgutter severely condemns the barbarous and abhorrent practice of CHARLES S. MUNICIPAL NON-POL "The People's Candidate" lynching that is a blot upon our country and is a disgrace to our civilization. He anticipated more than ten years the present Anti-lynching Bill pending in Congress by advocating the legal right of the National Congress to enact appropriate laws for the protection of a citizen of the United States, though he be a citizen of a state, from mob violence in that state. Mr. Elgutter sets forth the duty of Congress to punish through Federal Courts those engaged in lynching or in burning victims at the stake, whenever the officers of that state charged with executive or administrative powers to stop such outrages fail in their duty, or the sentiment of the local community of that state tolerates such outrages against citizens of the United States. Mr. Elgutter's deductions at the time "A Citizen of the United States" was published were widely discussed and the subject has been vigorously debated by Congress from time to time, especially during the present session. Under the strong hand of Federal Law the Klu Klux Klan would dissolve and fade away like mist before the morning sun. 300 TEXANS IN LYNCHING MOB Houston, Texas, July 7—Over three hundred white persons were in the mob at New Dakus, Montgomery county, which hanged 18-year old Warren Lewis to a tree Friday on charge of assaulting a white woman.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Society) The greatest industrial city of China is Ching-teh-chen, a place which perhaps not one American in a hundred has heard of. But when it is added that this out-of-the-way place, 300 miles inland and without rail connections, is the original home of the porcelain industry of the world and still the great Chinese center of the industry, the town takes on a certain significance. There are few cities in America or Europe that are so completely given over to a single industry as this one. Though the methods of production are primitive, the city must still be classed as an industrial center. It is a rare privilege to visit this conservative but interesting old place and see with one's own eyes the fascinating process of pottery making from beginning to end. Chinaware! What does the word connote? Simply a ware made of clay and named for the country that first produced it. Whether it be a green tile from a temple roof, a dish, a vase, or a painted ornament from a wealthy celestial's home, it all has a traceable connection with Ching-teh-chen. With the Chinese, Ching-teh-chen and porcelain are synonymous. In order to get a fair understanding of the situation, it will first be necessary to let the reader know the location of this place and something of the difficulties in reaching it. After locating Shanghai on the map of China, one should trace his way up the Yangtze river to Kiukihang, south of which lies Po Yang lake. The quickest and surest way of reaching Ching-teh-chen is to proceed from Kiukiang to Nanchang, the capital of the province, by rail. This trip can be made in a day, barring accidents, though the distance is only 90 miles. In prospect it does not seem a difficult task to cover the distance between Nanchang and Ching-teh-chen, 120 miles, but in reality the trip requires more time than it takes to travel from San Francisco to New York. One must cross the east end of Po Yang lake and then push his way up the North river into the heart of the mountains, to a point not far from the Anhwei border. "Town of Scenic Virtue." The first view of Ching-teh-chen from an approaching boat, with the smoke issuing from the chimneys of scores of kilas, is an amazing one. The city is located between the mouths of two rivers which flow into the North river, one from the east and one from the west. The town is naturally supplied with an abundance of fresh water, the clearness of which stands out in vivid contrast to the muddy yellowness of the Yangtze and of Po Yang lake. Beautiful hills completely surround the city, those on the east rising to a height of about two thousand feet. The river banks are dotted with pine and camphor trees, while occasional groves of bamboo in lighter green add a charm and beauty difficult to describe. Ching-teh-chen ("Town of Scenic Vistue") is one of the four largest towns (as distinguished from cities) of China. Technically, it is a town, because it has no wall. In reality it is a busy industrial city of 300,000 people, two-thirds of whom are engaged in the manufacture and sale of porcelain. Romantically, it is a city to stir men's souls. Longfellow, in his "Keramos," speaks of it. Historically, it dates back to the Han dynasty, 220 A. D., during which period we find the first records of the production of porcelain in China, though earthenware vessels were probably produced some centuries earlier. Two main streets, about three miles long and conforming to the contour of the river, comprise the principal thoroughfares. The city is about a mile wide. Furnaces, warehouses, shops, and homes are crowded together in a hopeless tangle. Great mounds of chipped and defective porcelain, clay chips and broken dishes are piled high along the river bank. In fact, one first notice these pieces of porcelain in the bed of the stream several miles below the city, washed down by high water. These dumps must be 30 or 40 feet thick. They represent the accumulated offsprings of the kilns for centuries. There are now between 150 and 200 big yellow chimneys in the city. It is said that Ching-teh-chen in her most flourishing days boasted several thousand kilns. Most Conservative of Critica. The most unusual feature of the city of Porcelain is its conservatism. 'Bu k'ai't-ung' (not open to communications) is heard on every hand. Although China is the home of the printing press, there is not a single newspaper, either daily or weekly, published in this city of more than a quarter of a million inhabitants. The reason given for this unprogressive state of affairs is that the magistrates have always opposed the press, on the one hand because they are afraid of its political influence, and on the other because of the financial support that would be involved. Ching-teh-chen is devoid of electric lights and telephones. The few rickshaws which now facilitate communications are fighting for existence. A number of workingmen's guilds have petitioned the chamber of commerce to abolish the rickshaws on the ground that they interfere with traffic. The geographical location of Ching-teh-chen is not accidental. It became the pottery center of the country centuries ago because of the enormous quantities of excellent clays in the district around Po Yang lake. All of these clays are brought to Ching-teh-chen in the form of soft, white bricks by small, flat-bottomed boats. Thousands of Chinese boatmen are engaged in this work. After the clays are thoroughly cleansed, sifted, and refined they are knaked together in varying proportions, usually by a barefoot boy, until they are ready for the potter. The wet lump of clay is then placed on the knob of the potter's wheel. The potter is perched above the wheel, with one foot on either side, in order to allow sufficient space for the movement of his hands. After revolving the wheel swiftly with a short pole, he deftly and with mechanical precision fashions a plate, bowl, or vase. After years of practice he can estimate to within a hair's breadth the proper size. The piece is then removed and placed on a long tray in front of the potter, where it awaits the next artisan. Handles and other decorations, made in molds, are added, and then the whole is scraped smooth and allowed to dry until it is ready for the next process—the under-glaze decoration. Several basic colors, like blue and red, can be painted on under the glaze. The glaze is next applied in various ways—by dipping, by blowing on with a tube, or by sprinkling. After the mark has been added the piece is ready for the furnace. Firing the Percolain. Porcelain placed in the kiln to be fired has to be protected in strong, cylindrical clay vessels, called saggers. These trays can be used from three to six times before they are ready for the scrap heap on the river bank. Every piece of porcelain, as it is set into the sagger, is placed on a small, round, clay chip, sprinkled with straw ashes. This prevents the fusing together of the two pieces. The fuel for the furnaces at Ching-teh-chen is of two kinds—straw and wood. Coal has been tried, but it was found that its fumes discolored the porcelain, and accordingly its use was discontinued. Straw is used to burn only the coarser ware. The kilns are large, egg-shaped ovens of brownish brick, fifty feet long and twelve feet high at the highest point. Because of the intense heat, both the kilns and the chimneys must be rebuilt annually. There is no unemployment in Ching-teh-chen. Work is plentiful, but industrial conditions are bad. Long hours, poor food, no rest days, and unsanitary living conditions cause a great deal of dissatisfaction among the laborers. Wages range from ten cents to one dollar per day, varying not according to the number of hours, but according to the number and quality of the pieces produced. But no artisan must work too long. If a man is found doing too much and working beyond the time limit, he is set upon by his fellow workers and severely beaten. THE "PHRA-TERNITA-PHRAT" GIVES FIRST ENTERTAINMENT The "Phra-Ternita-Phrat", a society of forward-looking, progressive young men, organized for the purpose of promoting high-class entertainment, favorably introduced itself to the public last Monday night when it presented the talented dramatic reader, Madame P. Earlline Osborne, in recital at the beautiful De Luxe Academy. Mme. Osborne was ably assisted by some of the best musical talent in the city. It was a high-class program throughout, well rendered and pleasing. The audience, though not as large as was anticipated, nevertheless was a good sized one and appreciative. Mme. Osborne's first number was "The Curse Scene" from the great emotional drama, "Leah, the Forsaken," by Daly. In this the reader showed her wonderful ability to virtually become for the time being the character which she interprets. Mme. Osborne in this selection did not make the contrast between the masculine and feminine voices as marked as it should be. This fault was by no no means noticeable in her excellent presentation of "The Murder Scene" from "Macbeth," which was her closing number. Miss Irene Cochran, contralto, sang with her usual ease and effectiveness, "Thank God for a a garden," by Deluge; and Mrs. Russell Reese, who has a lyric soprano voice of singular purity, was at her best in her solo work and in the other numbers. "Misere" by Verdi, was well sung by a quintette, composed of Miss Cochran, Mrs. Reese, H. L. Preston, Horace Sherwood and George Griffin, while "Swing Low, Sweet Charlot," arranged by N. Clark Smith and sung by a sexette, Mrs. Venus Parker being added to the quintette above mentioned, was given an ovation. DOUGLAS REPUBLICAN LEAGUE At the conference of colored republicans held in St. Philip's Guild rooms last Thursday night, the sentiment was unanimous that the colored citizens receive practically no recognition for their votes and that the time had come to support fair-minded MEN rather than parties. It was decided to revive the Douglas Republican League. M. F. Singleton was elected president and Harry L. Anderson, secretary. The other officers will be chosen at the meeting Thursday night, July 6th. The organization will support candidates who will give the colored voter patronage. "Vote Once for Bunce" BOY HAS NARROW ESCAPE BOY HAS NARROW ESCAPE Joseph Dorsey, son of Mr. and Mrs. S. H. Dorssey of 3643 Parker street, had a narrow escape from death last Friday afternoon when he was knocked off his bicycle by a woman driving a Ford sedan at Myrtle Avenue and Thirty-fourth street. His wheel was demolished. He was picked up un- conscious and taken to the Methodist Hospital where his wounds were dressed. He is able to be out again. His escape from death was almost miraculous. N.
