TOO RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN Kelly Miller Wisely Calls Attention to Potentiality of Negro Vote in Several Large Cities of United States. SUCH ELECTIONS POSSIBLE New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Chicago Named as Cities of Sufficient Strength to Elect "Bloe". By KELLY MILLER. (Copyright 1922 by Pittsburgh Courier Publishing Co.) Washington, D. C., November 3. The fall campaign is on. The two great political parties are facing each other in battle array. The issues that divide them are neither deep nor profound. No definite distinction has yet been stated. The party that is in, wants to stay in; the party that is out, wants to get in. The Negro stands beepuzzled between the lukewarm favor of the republicans and apprehensive fear of the democrats. The attitude of the two parties is rapidly gravitating to the lower level of the traditional southern policy. Leaders Are at Fault. It must in all candor be said that the Negro political manipulators have heretofore displayed little statesmanship. They have been content to round up the Negro vote and to receive or distribute the cold crumbs of patronage. I am describing rather than criticising our political leadership, which, under all of the difficult circumstances, has done perhaps all that it could. But the outstanding fact still remains that no constructive or comprehensive program has yet been forthcoming. Independents Have Failed. The nomination of independent Negro candidates for president, senators and governors, merely as a protest against the republican apostacy has not yet resulted in any clear advantage to the race. The vindictive spirit is more apt to hurt than to help. To contribute even indirectly to the national triumph of the democrats to spite the republicans, is a rather risky procedure in face of the well known and emphatically avowed attitude of the dominant element of the benefitted party. The average republican would rather see his democratic rival elected than yield to the threats of the Negro recalcitrants. Job Holders of Little Use. Job Holders of Basis The Negro cannot hope for much further racial advantage through appointive positions. All government appointees must be loyal to the powers that appointed them. They cannot represent the Negro where his interests run athwart the adopted policy of the administration. The chief function of "the black cabinet" is to vindicate the ways of the administration to the Negro. Appointive offices in all grades and departments of the government are Negro's just due because of his party fealty and by reason of his potentiality in every feature of governmental power. But complaisant office-holders, by the very nature of their appointment and tenure, are disqualified to demand or contend for the rights of the people. Negroes Must Run for Office. There remains but one ray of hops amidst the encircling gloom. It resides in the political opportunity of the Negro voter in the north. The race must seek elective positions which rest directly upon the suffrage of the people. Unless the Negro is able to send his own members to city councils, to state legislatures and to the congress of the United States there is little hope for further political progress. No white man, however kindly disposed, can speak for the Negro or impress his claims upon the mind and heart of the American people. He may indeed speak about the Negro, but he cannot speak for him. The black man must plead his own cause with his own voice. Whenever the white man essays to speak for the Negro his words are discounted in advance. The nation therefore pays little heed to such artificial plea. The world expects to hear the voice of the Negro, for he Negro, and by the Negro. Negro Bloc in Congress. We may judge in some slight measure the political benefit which two or three Negro congressmen might bring to the race by what a few Negro rep- THE MONITOR resentatives scattered throughout the several state legislatures have already accomplished. A Negro "bloc" in congress of several loyal, alert and sensible members would be worth more in constructive advantage than all of the appointive positions within the wildest hope of the political optimist. 120.000 in Baltimore. There were in 1920, 154,000 Negroes in New York City, 134,000 in Philadelphia, 109,000 in Chicago, and 108,000 in Baltimore. These census figures were probably underestimates. By 1924 it is reasonable to believe that the figures will have been materially increased. We may, therefore, estimate for 1924, 200,000 Negroes for New York, 150,000 for Philadelphia, 125,000 for Chicago and 129,000 for Baltimore. There will be a sufficient number in each city to demand a member of congress for the Negro group. While it is true that the Negro voters may not constitute the majority in any given congressional district, yet the regular party nomination will carry with it the white contingent by sensible interchange of political advantage. These Negroes are sufficiently congested in restricted localities to give something of the power of political solidarity. It does not require a majority in any group to command political control of a geographical unit, but merely a majority of the major party. This MOUNTAINEER DIGS UP POT OF BRITISH GOLD LONG BURIED David Jones Will Be Worth $48,000 If No Lawful Claimant to Money Found Puts in His Appearance. SPOIL OF BANDITS IS BELIEF Somerset, Ky., Nov. 3.—David Jones, a colored mountaineer, poor in a financial way all his years, today is considered a rich man by his friends and relatives who have multiplied since the discovery. Almost every one in Somerset is now claiming Jones as a relative. Not less than a dozen whites who hitherto never recognized Jones as a fellow citizen, are calling him their uncle or cousin. Jones, while digging a pit for a saw mill in the rural section of Thomas County, sank his pick into the top of a pot. He pulled out the pot. There, arranged in orderly rows, was a great mass of gold. Trembling with excitement, he hurried home and counted it. The money was in ancient English pieces. Jones did not know of what value. He called an expert from the state banking department, who assured Jones that his find was worth $48,000 in American money. Jones had thought the gold worth about $12,000. Jones was informed that if he kept the money twelve months and no one appeared who could prove ownership, it would be his. It is believed the money was secreted there by bandits over 100 years ago. This section was the lair of a gang which preyed upon the people over the state and who used this county as a hiding place. FAMOUS HOSTELERY DESTROYED BY FIRE Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 3—The Washington Hotel, a two-story brick structure in Broad Street, was ruined by fire here early Thursday morning and seven business establishments on the first floor of the building were badly damaged by smoke and water. The loss is estimated to aggregate $500,000. PASSES EXAMINATION FOR MOVIE INSPECTOR Baltimore, Mr., Nov. 3—Mrs. Sadie Murray-Dorssey, 1344 Drusid Hill avenue, was one of the six drusid who passed the state examination for moving-picture inspectors held recently at the Baltimore Business College. Nineteen girls all white, took the examination. Mrs. Dorssey ranked fourth. CLAYTON ORDERED TO D. C.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1922 NEW YORK EDITOR BEGINS CAMPAIGN FOR HIGH OFFICE Randolph, Brilliant Socialist Writer, Candidate for Secretary of State, Prosecutes Vigorous Flight for Position. OLD LINE PARTIES ANXIOUS Messenger Editor Is Intellectually Strong and Popular—Socialists Also Nominate Race Man for Assembly. New York, Nov. 3—Monday afternoon, October 9, A. Philip Randolph, co-editor of The Messenger magazine, left New York for Poughkeepsie where he made the initial speech of a state-wide campaign tour for the office of secretary of state. Randolph has received the highest political honor of any Negro in American politics since reconstruction. He is universally regarded as a man of unusual intelligence. There were two white men running against him for the secretary post on the farmer ticket at the convention in New York City last July, but he was nominated overwhelmingly. The fact that a Negro has been accorded such a high political honor among the socialists has caused a stampede in the republican and the democratic ranks. The fear is that Negro voters will forsake the old crowd and cast their lot where they will be given a square deal without so much begging and pleading after they have stood by them faithfully at the polls. Several well-known newspapers have commented on Mr. Randolph's nomination and it is generally conceded that his chance of being elected to the office of secretary of state is very good. Frank R. Crosswaith, a young Negro of New York City, is also on the socialist ticket for congress from the Twenty-fist Assembly District in Manhattan. 450,000 PERSONS·ILL Pittsburg, Pa., Nov. 3.—Over 450,000 colored people are all the time Dr. J. B. Walker told the National Urban league in convention here last week. At least 225,000 colored people die each year. Three-fourths of the number of deaths could be prevented with proper treatment. Dr. Walker estimated that $125,000,000 could be saved annually by colored people in medical bills. ACTRESS GIVES COLORED RECORDS AS WEDDING PRESENT Marilyn Miller Gives Jack Pickford Black Swan Records for Which He Expressed a Liking. Hollywood, Cal., Nov. 3. (Kelley Newspaper Feature Service.)—Among the presents given to Jack Pickford, the famous moving picture star, by Marilyn Miller, the star of the musical show, "Sally," at the time of her marriage at Hollywood, California, a few weeks ago was a large selection of Black Swan records. Miss Miller first heard these records through another member of the "Sally" cast and was so pleased with them that she sent several to her fiancee. Mr. Pickford, who is a brother of the famous Mary Pickford, was so pleased with the records that he wanted others, and the result was that Miss Miller surprised him with a package of Black Swan records on their wedding day. These were shipped direct from New York to Hollywood in a special container to assure their perfect delivery. After the wedding the records were placed on the machine and the whole party danced to the strains of Henderson's Dance Orchestra and made merry as Ethel Waters sang "Oh Daddy," "Jazzzin' Babies Blues" and "That Da Drain." It is now becoming quite a fad with many stars of the theatrical profession, who have found something different in these all colored records to have them sent to their friends in various parts of the country. Dealers also report that a large part of their increased sales are due to the fact that the white record buyers are also beginning to ask for Black Swan records in which they find a peculiar delight. THE MINISTERIAL ALLIANCE Though not as well attended as it should have been, the meeting of the Alliance was a very interesting one. A tentative program was gone over which will soon be put into definite shape and published. It covers some things that are vital to the very best interests of the community. It is the purpose of this organization during the ensuing year to make itself felt in the way of bettering many of the conditions which now exist in our midst. W. H. R.

STRICTLY MODERN BUILDING St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 3. (By the A. N. P.)—David Israel, wealthy hotel owner, who is opposing Congressman L. C. Dyer in the Twelfth District, is reported to have acquired through the Chancey P. Heath Real Estate Co. an option on the southwest corner of Twenteth and Chestnut streets as a site for a twelve-story fireproof hotel for Negroes. Such a project has been broached several times and it is too early to give actual information as to Mr. Israel's real intentions. The building will have 300 rooms, each with bath, shower and running ice water. The basement will embrace a grill room, billiard room, bowling alley and swimming pool. The first floor will have a lobby, dining rooms, cafeteria, barber shop, tailor shop, women's sitting room and writing rooms. The second floor will have a ballroom, a convention hall, twelve lodge rooms and other conveniences and the entire structure is expected to cost $800,000. "O LET SKI COME HERE WOULD BE A CRIME New York City, Nov. 3—The intelligent people of this country should do everything possible to prevent Siki, the Senegalese champion prize fighter of France, coming to the United States. The pernicious American white propagandists have already written and done enough injury to the race in this country in connection with Siki's victory over Carpentier. They have fed the country upon the savage instincts of Siki. His love for white women, wine and song. They have even painted him as worse than Jack Johnson in his wildest career. Sensible American Negroes do not want to be set back another half century in their efforts to perfect a better racial understanding between the races in this country. All should join efforts in an effort to keep Siki in France where he will be treated as a man. All this BUNK about true DEMOCRACY in this country and true principles of AMERICANISM is nothing.

It deserves unqualified support. ANDIENCE WITH HARDING Lodge Consents to Arrange Meeting for Presentation of Petition on Dyer Bill and Extra Boston, Mass., Nov. 3.—The colored citizens of Massachusetts are strongly impressed by two features of the political campaign, namely, the push of the National Equal Rights for a Dyer Bill extra session of congress, and the unfailing response of Senator Lodge to the league's requests for his assistance. On the fourth of October the senator wrote to President Harding urging him to favor the signatured petition which the league was promoting for an extraordinary session of congress and the naming of the Dyer bill for consideration. In the course of the letter he said, "I am very glad to call your attention to the earnest desires and hopes of the league and to say that personally I have given to the legislation which they are anxious to have enacted my most cordial support." Friday of this week the League wired Senator Lodge requesting his "personal efforts to secure an audience with the president next week to present the league's signatured petition." The senate leader wired back as follows: "Have received your telegram and shall be glad to take matter up at once with secretary to the president.—H. C. Lodge." BATTLING SIKI BORN IN AFRICA—KIDNAPPED BY GERMAN DANCER Black Fighter Who Beat Carpentier Entered French Army at 15 and Won Two Medals. Siki's grandfather was a slave, captured by Moors in the interior of Senegal, a region almost as dark as the darkest regions of the Congo. Escaping from the Moors the old man fled to St. Louis, Senegalese port, where he married and where Louis, later to develop into Battling Siki, was born, a generation afterward. Louis Fall was born December 16, 1899. From the age of 7 he became a hanger-on at the dacks, achieving an early reputation as a battler by licking all the kids of his age within a radius of 20 miles. When he was 8 years old he was begging for pennies thrown by passengers of a French liner making port from Brazil. One of the other boys grabbed a penny Louis thought was his, and Louis swung straight and knocked him out. The feat was observed by Freda Stampich, a Berlin Important Notice! Important Notice! This is to certify that Mrs. J. Alice Stewart is no way connected with the Nebraska Negro Democratic Club. This club was organized by the men named below.

ANDREW STUART, Secretary. dancer, who was so captivated by the boy that she kidnapped him and took him to live with her at her villa in Marseilles. There she sent him to school. In 1911 the dancer decided to return to Germany and demanded a passport for herself and Louis, but it was refused by the French on the ground that Louis was a French subject and could not be adopted by a German. So the dancer left 6,000 francs to provide for Louis' needs until he could earn his living, and, departing for Germany, passed out of her youthful protege's life. In 1914, when Louis—now calling himself Battleling Siki—was 15 years old, he enlisted in the French army and in a few months arrived at the front. There he covered himself with glory and received the Croix de Guerre and the Military Medal. The war over, he recommenced his fighting and rapidly defeated all the champions of the South of France—Stuber, Leonard, Auroy—in quick succession. Seeking new worlds to conquer he came to Paris, where he celebrated his arrival by knocking out Derensky. His next match was with Maurice Lefever, whom he beat on points in 10 rounds, after which he sent Andre Marchand to sleep in the fifth. He clamored for a match with the champion. "If he beats Journee and Niles Carpentier will meet him," stated Deschamps to this demand. So last winter Siki, despite a heavy weight disadvantage, beat Journee. In June of this year he won on points against Niles after 15 rounds. THE PROVISIONAL PRES. OF AFRICA TALKS FOOLISHLY THE PROVISIONAL PRES. OF AFRICA TALKS FOOLISHLY Marcus Garvey Delivers Address Which Contains Some Sense and Much Nonsense and Virtually Thanks South for Lynching. AFRICAN REPUBLIC TO HATE Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 3. (Preston News Service.)—Marcus Garvey, provisional president of Africa, delivered an address at the Negro fair here last Wednesday afternoon in which he praised the southern white people for lynching the American Negro as they have been doing, claiming that by this means they were making the Negro become conscious of the fact that he is not wanted in this country and can never make any progress as a race here. Garvey declared, "If a northern white man tells me he loves me, I say he is a liar." The white man of the south hates the Negro and is honest enough to say so. "When we get into our republic in Africa we mean to despise the whites because the blacks will have everything and the whites nothing. That's why the southern white man despises us and is frank enough to tell you so. He has everything and you have nothing, so don't blame him for despising you. He has contempt for you because you won't do anything for yourselves. "So long as you remain a pauper race, dependent upon another race, just so long will the world despise you. This is not social equality, I don't want to associate with a man who doesn't want to associate with me. "God never created the white man superior, the white man made himself superior. God is not responsible for your condition. God is our spiritual overlord and you are responsible for what you are. "I thank the southern white man for giving the Negro a race consciousness. Sometimes it has required beating, sometimes lynching, but he has it. In the south there is more wealth among the Negroes than anywhere in the world because the white man has forced the Negro to do something for himself. Some Negroes believe in their religion so blindly that they expect it to provide breakfast, dinner and supper for them; but I know that if I don't get up and hustle the Lord will never provide for me. "Don't hate the white man just because he despises you. He despises you because you are after something which belongs to him. (Continued on Page 5.)

IS LOCATED IN BLACK BELT Large Deposits Anticipated from Harlem's Dense Population—Race Operates Eighty "Banks." New York, N. Y., Nov. 3.—The Globe National Bank, now in process of organization, is said to be the first national bank in the United States to recognize the Negro population by having a board of directors of both white and Negro men, according to H. M. Black, a member of the board and actively interested in organizing the bank. "The great oversight in the development of the Negro race today," Mr. Black said, "is the lack of economic direction. In this city there are about 200,000 Negroes. They own real estate property assessed at $200,000,000. They have a deposit in various New York savings banks about $30,000,000, but they are not recognized to the extent of being allowed to become directors. "The election of colored members to the Globe National Bank, to be opened at Seventh avenue and 135th street, will be held after the formal opening of the bank. This step will open the directorates of the 12,000 national banks in the United States to the Negro race. "There are eight Negro banks in the United States. All of these banks will have the opportunity of sending one of their young men to the bank to learn the principles of national banking," Mr. Black said. "In addition to the saving and discount service," he continued, 'we will have an investment service to protect Negroes from wildcat schemes and a trust department. The Negro directors will be selected from the most prominent men of their race. They will attempt not only to further the thrift among the Negro race, but to make the colored section of Harlem one of the best sections of the city." ENDORSED TO SUCCEED MORRIS Washington, D.

Straus of New York announced in making public a Mutlon-wide survey of the building situation, showing that a “wave of home building by «private ‘owners has swept the entire country this year.” More Americans became home own- ers during the present year than in any previous year in our history, de- clared Mr, Straus, explalning that ex- penditures for building up to October 1 exceeded the previous record year ‘of 1920 by $1,000,000,000. He sald that while this was signi#eant of prosper- ity, “even more significant, however, Is the fact that about $1,000,000 has been ‘spent in homes In America since Jan- wary 1.” Home ownership in the United States, Mr, Straus commented, was a “splendid stabilizer, because people who own thelr own homes are not sus- ceptible to the teachings of dangerous radicals.” Referring to this year’s record con- struction, Mr. Straus sald: “Phe nearest approach to this was fn 1020 when, during the correspond. ing period (January 1 to Octover 1), f@ little more than $2,000,000,000 was absorbed by the industry.

Moreover, building ma terial costs were at thelr peak In 1920, eo the gain In actual new building space this year Is even greater than the figures indicate, “Even more significant, however, 1s the fact that about $1,000,000,000 has been spent In homes in America since January 1, To appreciate this it must be borne in mind that our home bulld- ing program for the first nine months this year represents a larger outlay than was made for buildings of all Kinds during any previous year In the Aistory of the nation prior to 1917, and the indications are that for the en tire year our home building program will represent a larger outlay of cash than was spent for all building pur poses during any year before 1919. “While statisties are not available showing what percentage of this bil Hon dollars represents new individual home ownership, the statement can be made with safety that nothing before has ever compared with the wave of home building by private owners that Ahas swept the entire country this year. Tn 1020 there were 25,000,000 families fn the United States, 11,400,000 of whom owned thelr own homes. ‘This ‘amount has been enormously increased, however, as there was a gain of 71 per cent in permits for onefamily houses in 1921 and this year will show ‘a greater gain, it 1s anticipated.

Emma ushered “Malcolm into the family living room, fas lieing more appropriate than the front drawing room, and went to “tell mamma." Malcolm watched the slen- “der figure eagerly as it withdrew down the hall. Mentally he made a note that “here was the «irl he wanted to take to bls junfor ball, He had always rather inclined toward spirited bru “nettes, but his preference suddenly swerved over to the rather shy blonde type. "Mrs. Ginner soon appeared, an un- affected, motherly sort of woman. She explained that since the boys were away and Mr Ginner was so much taken up with business, they wanted to have @ youn man in the family to look after the furnuce nights and eee ian rt lock up nights when Mr. Glnner was “away. ‘They kept one mald, and there were Ilttle things around the house that the boys used to do before they went away.

Meantime ‘Malcolm = Gimson fell more deeply atid deeply In love. He decided that the time to tell the charming Emma of his sentiment was fat the Junior ball. By Christmas he had asked her If she would go to the ball with fim and was infinitely re Meved when she accepted, with the entire approval of her mother, ‘Then came a teleggam from Mal colm's uncle and guardian, Roger Smith, who had apparently decided to travel five hundred miles to visit his ‘nephew. It was disturbing and Mal- colm did not conceal from the Ginner family that he was disturbed. “I'm asking an enormous favor,” he said to Mrs, Ginner. “He'll be here only a day—while he is here would you ‘mind letting me pretend that I am boarding here, not working? Til ex plain it all sometime.” Mrs, Ginner agreed, but later was puzzled over the request. If the uncle belleved that the boy were not working then tt ‘must be that he had enough money sent him to make it unnecessary; if ‘he had the money, what did he do with it? Perhaps he had lost money gambling or something, and was work: Ing to pay a debt of honor, It was too much for the easy-going Mrs, Gln- ner. So she kindly asked Malcolm ‘to invite the uncle to a family dinner at which every one, Including Mr. Gin- ner himself, would be primed to treat Malcolm like a paylng boarder. But something very unexpected hap. pened at dinner that night, Mr. Gin- ner recognized in Roger Smith his very dear, old college friend. “It Ta known that my nephew was boarding with the family of my old friend, how happy 1 should have been.” “You certainly ought to have been congratulated on having a nephew willingly work bis way through col lege even when he has no money,” sald Mr, Ginner. “Works his way!" exclaimed Mr. Smith, and then there had to be ex- planations. Mr, Ginner had forgotten ‘for a moment the Instructions of his wife. ‘Then all eyes tnrned on poor, em darrnssed Muleolm. | “Well, now the cat's out of the bag.” laughed the unele, “why don't you tell us why you did itt” Mateolm looked very intently at Emma and Emma blushed. “Because,” said Malcolm, looking first straight Into the eyes of Mr. Gin- ner and then at his uncle, “because the first time T came on an errand for 8 friend of mine, I decided that I want ed to—to—tuke Emma Ginner to the juntor ball—" “Wanted to take her to the Juntor ball!” mocked the uncle good na- turediy, “Why don't yon be frank and say you decided you wanted to marty her?” ‘There was a little startled cry from Emma and a gasp from Mr. Ginner. “That Is what T might have sald, str," said Malcolm very solemnly. ‘Then there was an awkward silence and then dinner progressed and every one was very merry. ‘That evening a Uttle later Matcotm went on his accustomed trip to the cellar to tend fires and, Emma fol Towing his whispered injunetions, went with him.

POOL LINCOLN, NEBRASKA UNDERWOOD & UNDERWOOD Blue and white dotted foulard makes this charming afternoon gown popular for summer wear. WEAR BEADS AND BRACELETS Women Still Give Preference to Costume Jewelry Which Includes Great Variety. Costume jewelry is the one fad of the season, with a leaning toward the semi-precious stones. The Staffordshire pottery beads in their soft colorings have been used, and the Wedgewood beads would be popular if they were not so difficult to procure. Rock crystal and onyx, or crystal alone is worn by the matrons and if there is one dominant note in the bead world it is the revival of amber. Never has so much amber been seen as this season, and it ranges in color from the clouded pale amber to the dark colored strings of clear round amber uncut beads which fall below the waist. Ivory beads carved and plain and white coral come next in popularity, and those wearing mourning cling to the beautiful shades of Whittier let. Some Scotch Calrignorm pins are worn, with their silver mountings and topaz and amethyst settings. A chain of amethyst set in silver makes a very attractive costume decoration, while oval unpolished topaz is most unique. Italian beads are worn on a black silk cord, strung at intervals, or on half-inch black ribbon with a large china pendant for morning with gingham or volle frocks. Bracelets run the gamut, but Chinese bracelets of glass in jade, black and goldstone effect are worn, sometimes two or three together. Bangle bracelets are most popular and strands of fine pearls come next in popularity. A carved and twisted snake bracelet of dark tortoise shell is worn with hoop earrings of tortoise shell. Carneanell cut bakellite in vivid scarlet and green has been adopted for wear with pastime suits of green and white stripe. Black pearl tassels with diamond studded pearl, hung from a black silk cord are affected for evening wear. Fancy celluloid girdles matching sweaters in contrasting color are worn by the younger set, and a few girdles of cut steel circles or diamonds held together with fine steel chains are also worn with sweaters and onepiece dresses. Huge onyx and crystal rings are used for hatpins. Tiny bead bags, matching frocks in color are used, those having the round colored celluloid tops leading in favor. NEW YORK'S AGE IS IN QUESTION Celebration of the 300th Anniversary Is Involved. OLD LETTER COMES TO LIGHT Strengthens Claim That Observance of Anniversary of Founding of New Amsterdam, Now New York, Should Be in 1926, Rather Than in 1924, as Tentative Plans Announced—Quaint Description of Place Where 6,000,000 Now Live. Out of the archives of 300 years ago Hollanders have brought to light a letter with which the Netherlands chamber of commerce strengthens a claim that the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the founding of New Amsterdam, now New York, should be in 1926, rather than in 1924, as tentative plans announced. Here is the letter, with its quaint and brief description of the spot where now 6,000,000 persons live; the assessed valuation is $6,000,000,000, or $250,000 an acre; where the exports are 100,000 times those of the year of its founding: Recep., 7 November, 1926.

RECORD INSURANCE POLICY Pennsylvania Treasurer Gets $26,000, 000 Against Burial. A $26,000,000 burglar insurance policy, covering securities for which the state treasurer of Pennsylvania is responsible, was executed the other day by the National Surety company and twenty-five co-insuring companies. This is the largest burglar insurance policy ever written. The protection afforded by the policy will run three years. Premiums will total more than $32,000 for the three years. R. A. Algre, vice-president of the National Surety company, explained that, while it was unusual for a state to take out a burglar policy of anything like such proportions, the development indicated a general tendency in that direction. The National Surety company recently executed such a policy for the state of Kentucky for $4,000,000. Mr. Algre said. "A state is subject to the same hazard as a bank, or any other institu- Established by the late Silas Johnson 2518 Lake Street Continuing the same considerate efficient service John Albert Williams, Executor Webster 0248 tion," he continued. "It is essential for the state to arrange for some sort of protection for securities on hand or for state moneys, and the state of Pennsylvania is insuring itself against the theft of various securities held in custody by the treasurer." EASY TO FLY TO POLE Expert Says Airlift of German Type Could Make the Trip. Modern airships of the German type could make the trip from London to the North Pole, a distance of 4,600 miles, within a week, says Maj. Richard Carr, aerial expert of the Shackleton Antarctic expedition. Fuel for the entire distance could be carried, and no landings need be made. Major Carr made important observations on flying conditions in the Antarctic. "During the seven weeks we were in the ice," he says, "the lowest temperature recorded was 5 degrees Fahrenheit and the average approximately 20 degrees. The wind average was eight to ten miles an hour, and the air and sky were wonderfully clear. We had more than 300 perfect flying hours." SPRAINS MAY BE SERIOUS Should Never Be Taken Lightly, but Have the Most Careful Attention at Once. Sprains and strains as a class are injuries which cause little concern and, consequently, to which little attention is paid. The result is, according to the medical correspondent of the London Times, that a great deal of disability is caused which need not have occurred at all. He tells how to avoid much of this and gives explanations which rob sprains of some of their mystery. Sprains are not by any means so trivial as they are usually supposed to be. Some of them are not "sprains" at all, but slight dislocations, and it is by knowledge of this fact that so-called bloodless surgeons acquire their reputation. A return of the members to their correct position often ends the pain and discomfort of these accidents. Again, some sprains are fractures. The bones may not have been separated, and so the fact that a break has occurred is overlooked. Not until permanent damage has been done is professional help called in. Finally, there are cases in which fibers of ligaments—1. e., the binding material forming the hinges of a joint or the means of fixation of a muscle tendon to a bone—have been torn asunder. These cases may prove exceedingly troublesome, and if not attended to may result in permanent weakness. It is a good and safe rule to call in a doctor, says the writer, when any severe or even moderately severe sprain has been encountered. By this means the calamities attending neglect of serious injury are avoided. Two Small Crafts Will Bear Parties on Experimental Voyages. Two German sailboats of small dimensions are due to brave the furies of the Atlantic on experimental transoceanic voyages within the coming year. On one of them a party of 13 German artists and professional men plan to circumnavigate the globe. They have recently tested their craft in a trip to Copenhagen, and are now trying to complete arrangements for leaving before the end of the year. The vessel is 58 feet long. The other enterprise is to be conducted by three German sailors in a 3-foot sailboat of 12 tons, which they themselves intend to build. eg ‘& National Weekly Newpaper Devoted Primarily to the Interests ‘of Colored Americans. ae Published Every Friday at Omaha, Nebraska, by the © | Monitor Publishing Company.

After telling how the city is divided into districts the letter goes on to say: ‘Omaha’s quota is $25,000, but the committee in charge, headed by Dr. A. C. Stokes, who saw active service n France, said that| this quota would probably be doubled. A membership in the Red Cross is only $1, and, because the sum is so nominal, those in-| terested in the drive feel that Omaha will come to the front, as it did during the trying times of the war. “This is a crisis for the Red Cross,” said Dr. Stokes. “Some people feel that the Réd Cross died with the war, but the Red Gross existed before the war, and is even’ a bigger necessity in peace times.” The Home Service Section is the most important branch of the Red Cross. This section handled 903 new cases and 1,450 old| ones from January 1st to October 1st, 1922. The service given in| the different cases differs greatly. All of these cases deal with the problems of the ex-service men, mostly the disabled ones. Sums of the boys—and they were the ones who fought for when| we needed them—were assisted in prosecuting their compensation. claims against the government, some were helped in filing bonus applications; some in getting certificates as substitutes for lost) discharges, and in hundreds of cases various kinds of applications and affidavits had to be filled out. In nearly every case financial assistance and important advice were given. In fact, the ex-serv- ice man (and his family) can come to the Home Service Section with any of his troubles, and, when he leaves, he feels that the titizens of our country appreciate and stfll remember what he did for us on the battlefield. ‘Another important department of the Omaha Chapter, Amer- iean Red Cross, is looking after undernourished school children. Everyone realizes what an important task this is. During the past school semester, 1,506 children, attending Omaha schools, Were entered into nutrition classes under the school nurses, and| were furnished milk at the expense of the Red Cross. Dr. Stokes especially calls the attention of the public to the wonderful work done by the Red Cross during the terrible tornado which occurred in Omaha on Easter Sunday in 1913. Even though| Omaha was not a member of the National Red Cross, that organ- ization spent over $40,000 here, furnishing shelter and food for those whose houses were wrecked and who had no money with which to rebuild their homes. “Omahans will never forget this wonderful service,” said Dr. Stokes. “Omaha is doubly obligated to the Red Cross. Their work during the war, which no one can deny, was the most wonderful of all, and their work during the terrible disaster here. During the three days of the drive I know that the Omaha men and women will pay their dollars gladly to keep up their membership in this most wonderful organization.” ' ‘THE DUTY OF VOTING / WE desire to impress upon our read- ers the duty and importance of voting. In a republic, such as ours, the voters are in reality the govern- ment. It is up to the voters to say what kind of men shall make and execute the laws. It is therefore a solemn duty and a grave responsibili- ty which rests upon every American citizen, male and female, to cast his vote as his jest judgment suggests and his conscience dictates for the eandidates whom he believes will best serve the interests of the people. It is the duty of voters to inform them- selves to the best of their ability as to the character of the respective can- didates seeking their support and also of the respective issues before the people. Having done this each one should go to the polls with his mind fully made up as to how he will vote. Many of our people, who have in the ‘more recent years come into this com- munity from the south where they are unlawfully denied the privilege of voting are indifferent about voting here. This is a mistake. Every citi- zen should qualify himself to vote in- telligently and do so. We urge our people to vote on Tuesday next ac- cording to their best judgment. All urties have nominated good men for the respective offices, speaking broad- ly, and it is therefore simply a ques- Hor the intelligent voter as to at policies he deems it wisest and best to support. Upon this there will e, naturally, a difference of opinion. Fortunately our are beginning > divide upon issues like other ee ’ e classes of ci nd are gradually p. 7 our is ain, “Ax conditions are, the Page Four cratic party, makes it difficult for us in national affairs, as yet, to change our party allegiance but in state, county and local affairs, this objec- tion does not obtain, and men rather than parties, should receive our sup- port, This will undoubtedly inure to our racial advantage and make for better government. The election next Tuesday is a most important one. We urge our readers who are qualified voters to go to the polls and cast their vote according to their best judgment for those candidates whom they hon- estly believe will strive conscientious- ly to discharge the duties of the of- fices to which they shall be elected. POW TO VOTE ALL VOTERS should get a sample ballot before Tuesday and look it over in order that they may know just how they want to vote. This will save time for them at the voting booths. At the top of the long ballot will be found four circles, opposite which are the party designations, “Republican”, “Democrat”, “Progress- ive” and “Prohibition”. These circles are your party circle. If, for exam- ple, you are a republican and wish to vote the straight republican ticket, all you'have to do, is to make a cross in the circle opposite the “Repub- lican” circle, fold your ballot, hand it to the inspector of election who will deposit it in the ballot box. If, how- ever, there is a candidate or candi dates of some other party for whom you desire to vote instead of the rex- ular republican nominee, make your mark in your party cirele, and then put a eras opposite the name of the candidate of the other party for whom you wish to vote. Suppose, for exam- ple, you want to vote the whole repub- ican ticket, with the exception say of ‘ Bip ta » Daan pi es ve Bc cere nee rarer Secretary of State. Put you cross in the party cirele and when you get to the section of the ballot printed thus: Vote for ONE For Secetary of State (©) John Doe... ...------Republican (x) Thomas Roe...............Demoerat Put a cross in the square before ‘Thomas Roe’s name, as indicated. This shows that you vote for Thomas Roe, demoerat, instead of John Doe, repub- liean. By studying the sample ballot be- forehand and following these instruc- tions any voter of ordinary inteih- gence will know how to vote as he de- sires, either a straight party ticket or to cut his ticket. RANDALL FOR GOVERNOR (THE MONITOR urges the election of Charles H. Randall, the repub- lican nominee for governor. He has ‘a gapd record. He impresses all who meet his as an honest, broad-minded, unassuming man who will strive to do his duty by all citizens of this state. We believe he will give us a clean, ef- ficient and business administration. FOR MUNICIPAL JUDGE AMONG the four good men seeking election to the Municipal judge- ship, the best equipped man from every point of view is Charles S. El- gutter. Whatever two men may be chosen The Monitor does not hesitate to say that we hope one of them will be Charles S, Elgutter. STREHLOW FOR HOUSE (THE MONITOR commends Robert R. Strehlow to the voters of his legislative district as an excellent, high-class young man of broad mind and high ideals. He will make an ex- cellent representative. Vote for him. SHOTWELL FOR JUDGE A YOUNG LAWYER of ability and promise is Ross L. Shotwell, can- didate for Municipal judge. He has a large and favorable acquaintance among our people, In the event of his election he will make an excellent judge. We can and do favorably com- mend him. POLITICAL POINTERS Wwuuam WAPPICH, as_ police judge, has striven to be absolute- ly fair to all classes. He is a candi- date for Municipal Judge. Frank Dineen, as city prosecutor, has given good satisfaction. He seeks promotion to the Municipal bench. ‘The contest between the candidates for the two municipal judgeships is in our opinion going to be a close and het contested one. Michael J. Endres, democratic can- didate for sheriff, has made a good recrd as county treasurer, and it is the belief of those who know him that. in the event of his election, he will make a good sheriff. His republican opponent, whose name is also Mike, says, “T've got him beaten.” The bat- tle of the Mikes is on. Loyd A. Magney, democratic ean- didate for County attorney, had ex- perience in that office during his father’s incumbency, and is therefore qualified for the job. Henry J. Beal, republican candidate for County attorney, has been deputy in County Attorney Shotwell’s office for several years and has made good there. Henry's friends are confident. of his election, Henry is a good crinter as well as a good lawyer. Otto J. Bauman, who is contesting with W. G. Ure for county treasurer, has waged and is waging an active campaign which has ‘unquestionably rained votes for him. Ure says Bau- man will need many more votes to beat him. Gilbert M. Hitchcock's widely cir- culated eampaign document, “The Black Horror on the Rhine” has helped make votes for R. B. Howell, republican nominee for the United States senate. W. G. Ure is endorsed for County Treasurer by many leading citizens who remember his fine record as County Treasurer a few years ago. RACE POPULATION ADVISED TO ELECT OWN CONGRESSMEN (Continued from Page 1) ives the Negro contingent greater political potentiality, But this quee- tion rises above the level of distric politics. Let {t also be borne In mind thal there 1s a larger proportion of adults than among the white race, ‘This fact in the Negro population of these cities may not be much above a fourth of the total population. Platform for 1924. ‘The Negro voters throughout these several states should make a united demand upon the state machinery of the republican perty to throw the regular congressional nomination in the heavy Negro districts to a mem- her of the group. The Negro vote is essential to republican success in all of these states under normal political conditions. The party managers would not dare refuse such a reayest if pree- ented with unity and earnestness. Here then is the Negro platform for the campaign of 1924: ‘Let us have a republean adminis- tartion for 1924, with a “bloc” of three or four Negro congressmen. THE MONITOR —$___—_—_ Letters From Our Readers Boe ty aif casos Tottere igteed tas . October 31, 1922, To the Editor of ‘The Monitor. Dear Sir: I trust that you will publish this letter that your readers may be in- formed as to my views of the Vol- stead Act and how I will enforce the prohibition laws until they are amended. I favor light wines and beer and maintain that the Volstead Act is un- sound in so far as it prohibits the manufacture and sale of them. Experience proves that the prohibi- tion laws cannot be strictly enforced and, therefore, should be amended in the interests of ood government. ‘They breed disrespect and disregard for all law. As to strong drinks I will enforce these laws strietly, but as to light wines and beer I will be lenient and reasonable. I regard a man’s home as his castle, I am running as an independent candidate for county attorney on a light wine and beer platform that the people may freely express their senti- ment in favor thereof without regard to party polities. Congress will not modify the Volstes Act until the sen- timent of the people has been clearly expressed for a change. To legalize light wines and beer would do more than anything else to reduce taxes. Go to the polls, therefore, on No- vember 7, 1922, and disregard mere party polities and express your senti- ment in favor of modifying the Vol- stead Act by voting for me, and dc all you can to persuade others ta do likewise, Yours for light wines and beer an¢ clean polities, OTTO A.

COLORED AMERICANS DANCE AT HOTEL ASTOR New York, Nov. 3.—Something is always happening to upset the smug assurances of race theorists that "It can't be done". Twenty Negro couples were among the guests of the America's Making Carnival and Dance at the Hotel Astor, Forty-fourth street and Broadway, Friday evening, October 27th. Thirty-six racial and national groups were represented in an unprecedented and myth-destroying get-together. The program was a mixture of special entertainment and social dancing. The great Louis Chalfi and his Russian dancers, the Erzie Sisters and Dolly Sisters. Finnish, English, Carpath-Russian and Swedish folk dances provided unique entertainment for those who did not dance. But Negroes can dance and did. The magnificent grand ball room provided a pretty setting for this group with its charming women handsomely gowned, its men suave and graceful. They were, as the America's Making program courageously asserted and demonstrated—apart of OUR AMERICA. Among the Negro guests were: Dr. and Mrs. W. E. B. DuBois, Mr. and Mrs. Eugene Kinckle Jones, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Pace, Mr. and Mrs. Gerald F. Norman, Dr. and Mrs. E. R. Alexander, Mr. and Mrs. James Harris, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Elzy, Dr. and Mrs. George A. Kyle, Mr. and Mrs. Charles S. Johnson, Mrs. Daisy Tapley, Mrs. Charles W. Joyce, Mrs. Ella F.

GILPIN COMING TO THE BRANDEIS An important attraction is announced for the Brandeis theatre for three nights commencing Thursday, November 9th, matinee Saturday, when Adolph Klauber will present the greatest dramatic novelty of the past decade, Eugene O'Neill's unusual play, "The Emperor Jones", with Charles S. Gilpin, the astonishing actor, who rose from obscurity to world-fame in one night, in the title role. The play is built upon somewhat different lines than the usual run of dramatic offerings. It is in eight scenes, laid in the West Indies, and depicts the adventures of an ex-Pullman porter, who flees through a dense forest to escape the vengeance of the ignorant black natives he has plundered. During the action of the play, the emperor passes through all the human emotions beginning in a humorous vein, the scenes graduate from expressions of slight alarm and bewilderment, to the depths of desperation and despair. Mr. Gilpin's art is said to carry his audience breathless and tense, throughout the unfolding of the story. The presentation will be made in this city with the same attention given to every detail as during its entire season's run at the Princess theatre, New York and extended runs in Boston, Philadelphia and Chicago.

ELGUTTER DENOUNCES LYNCHING Charles S. Elgutter, candidate for municipal judge, more than ten years ago denounced the brutality of lynching and burning at the stake. He demanded that the power of the United States be exercised though the federal courts in punishing those found guilty of such brutality against citizens of the United States and those entitled to protection under treaty. Charles S. Elgutter long ago anticipated the provisions of the Dyer Bill now pending in congress. Read all about it in his book "A Citizen of the United States", which may be found in the Omaha Public Library, and filed in the Congressional Library at Washington. Charles S. Elgutter's plea was endorsed by members of congress and by officials of the state department at the time. THE ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets Russell Taylor, Pastor Services Sunday were in keeping with the World's Temperance Sunday Program. Attendance was fair. The interest in the matter under discussion was excellent. The Adult Bible Class under the leadership of Mr. H. J. Pinkett is growing very much in interest, Knowledge of the Bible is a worthy asset to anyone, it matters not what vocation they are following. We trust that more will take advantage of the superior instruction being given in this class. The sermon topics next Sunday will be as follows: 11 a. m., "And Shall Teach Men to Sow." 8 p. m., "The Message to the Church in Thyatya, or the Woman, Jezebel. Who Brought Spiritual Discredit Upon the Church." The Christian Endeavor topic is, "Better Thinking." Phil. 4:4-8. This is the monthly consecration meeting and will be led by the pastor. The hour is 7:15 and we trust that each Endeavoror may be present on that date. ACTIVITIES OF STATE BAPTIST MISSIONARY Rv. M. H.

OUR BOYS MAKING GREAT SHOWING AT FOOTBALL The Central High School has five of our boys playing on the first and second teams and they are all doing excellent work. Ledrue Galloway, Martin Thomas and Charles Ennis are on the first team and George McKee and Worthington Williams are on the second. Galloway, full-back on the first, is the acknowledged star of that strong aggregation, and Thomas and Ennis are close seconds. Williams as quarter-back and McKee as half-back of the second have starred in every game this season. Neither the first nor the second team has been defeated this season.

Russell Taylor, chairman of the executive committee; Mrs. Cooper, chairman of the program and place of meeting committee; and Mr. Garett, chairman of the auditing committee, also gave favorable reports. The treasurer's report by Mr. H. L. Anderson showed much diggence in its keeping and indicated a balance on hand. On next Sunday, November 5, the Branch will meet at St. John's A. M. E. church at which time and place the annual election of officers will occur. The rule making only those who are financial at twelve o'clock on the day of election was suspended, so that opportunity will be given for any who chance to be present and not paid up, to do so immediately after the opening of the meeting on the above date.

Colored Voters Attention!! Two Big Republican Mass Meetings The SANDMAN STORY THE Fairies as everyone knows do not like to be in the daytime or at least in the sunlight, but one day they had to be out to undo the work of King Oberon, who is very jealous of the power of the Fairies and never loses a chance to display his powers of magic charm. King Oberon is called the King of the Fairies, but he really has little to do with ruling and has power only during the hour between the night and day. One night the Goblins capering about came across King Oberon sitting under a leaf in the woods waiting for the charmed hour when at his command all things would be under his control. "Could you change us into big spiders with lots of legs?" asked one Goblin. "Of course I could. Nothing easier," replied King Oberon. "Why do you Sitting under a roog on the woods. wish to become spiders?" he asked. "You can be lions just as well if you like." "Oh, no, we'd rather be spiders with lots of legs so we can run fast," said the mischievous little fellow. "We want to frighten the Fairies at their feast in the dell." This pleased King Oberon very much, but he did not tell the Goblins that his power lasted only a short time, and that they might have to remain spiders until the next night unless they returned within the magic hour. So the Goblins called all their brothers to be right on time when the magic hour came around and King Oberon changed them all into spiders which scamped to the dell as fast as their legs would carry them. The little Fairies and their Queen were sitting around a cobweb table-cloth spread upon the ground eating fairy food when all at once from the tree and bushes dropped those naughty spider Goblins right in their midst. Up jumped the Fairies crying out with fright and away they ran, hiding under all sorts of things to escape their tormentors. But the Goblins were not satisfied with frightening the Fairies once; they ran this way and that, trying to find them and send them flitting about like so many scared little butterflies. When the Fairy Queen saw the spider Goblins looking for the Fairies she knew that some charmed spell was upon them and when she touched one with her wand and that did not change it to a Goblin she knew that it was King Oberon's work, for she could not undo his work until his hour was over. So she whispered to all of her Fairies telling them not to be frightened, that it was the mischievous Goblins and that they would be sorry little fellows if they could be kept in the dell until the magic hour of King Oberon's power had passed. So the Fairies pretended to be very much frightened and the Goblins intent upon their pranks and thinking it was great fun stayed until the sun was up. They scampered off in a hurry when they saw the light, but, of course, King Oberon had gone home long before. "Oh, what shall we do?" monned the Goblins, for in their spidery forms they could not give the magic signal, the three knocks that opened the door to their homes inside the moss-covered rocks. And there the Queen and her Fairies found them, for they followed them soon after they ran, well knowing what would happen and if anyone begged hard to be helped out of trouble those mischievous little Goblins did when they saw the Fairy Queen. They promised to be good, they promised never, never again to go to King Oberon to be changed into any form and they told the Queen she was the most powerful among the magic folk, and they thought King Oberon only a pretender and not at all a king. With one wave from the Queen's wand and those of her subjects, the Goblins received their own forms again, and as soon as they had thanked the Queen and the Fairies they ran with shamed faces for their homes, while the Fairies and their Queen flitted off to Fairyland and were soon in their beds fast asleep. CLIFF BARS WAY TO "VALE OF GOLD" IN CALIFORNIA Prospecting Miner Finds Verdant Tract High Up in the Salmon River Mountains. A verdant valley of approximately 640 acres has been discovered high up in the Salmon River mountains in Siskiyou county near the Trinity county border in California. It is almost certain no human feet have trod the meadow tract. Several attempts have been made to reach the valley in the last few weeks, but all have failed. The mountain valley is walled in by jagged granite rocks of such precipitous dimensions that no one can scale them with ordinary appliances. A tiny creek meanders through the valley and finds its exit in a waterfall 800 feet high over a preceplice as straight up and down as a stone wall. A Trinity county miner found gold all along the creek, clear up to the preplepice that barred his way. This miner, Gordon Abrams, climbed a peak and looked over into the valley through a spyglass. He saw a gray streak cutting across it. He believes this is a quartz ledge, possibly the mother lode of the gold he found in the placer digging below. Abrams is almost certain, he says, man has never entered the valley and that no one is likely to enter it soon. DAME NATURE GIVES PLANTS REVENGE AGAINST ANIMALS MARIE F. MAYER LOS ANGELES, CALIF. This odd plant, called the "Dutchman's Pipe" and recently brought from Java to the Horticultural hall in London, has given British householders a new hope in the war against rodent pests. For it reverses the usual rule of nature and, instead of the animal eating the plant—the plant eats animals. "Stop the Leaks. Stop Extravagance. Lower Taxes." These candidates are pledged to this platform. To change the county management ALL THREE MUST BE ELECTED THE MONITOR Mice, or other tiny animals, attracted by the smell, creep into the hole shown in the center of the plant. A sticky substance which lines the inner walls, together with bristles which trap the victim, keep it from escaping—and the plant's "digestive juices" speedily absorb it. MYSTERY AT LAST IS SOLVED Muskrat Takes Bath in Wisconsin Man's Rainwater Tank. The mystery of the muddy rainwater which has bothered a Menasha (Wis.) family for about a month was explained in a surprising manner. The water, in a granite kettle placed under the rainspout, would be perfectly clear just after a rain, but next morning would be thick with mud as though some one had cleaned muddy rubbers in it. No one could account for this strange occurrence until after the chauffeur happened to spy a large muskrat bathing itself in the kettle. When it saw the man approaching it scooted under the garage. The house is some distance from the river and this makes the behavior of his ratship all the more extraordinary. The muskrat is one of the few fur-bearing animals left in the valley of the Fox River.

Despite the fact he was wounded in the stomach, chest and hand by the full charge from a shotgun, an alleged river pirate, by diving and under-water swimming, successfully cluded Baltimore police in a motorboat for more than two hours. After being discovered and shot while attempting to board the lighthouse tender Maple, the man jumped into the water. He hid under piers and docks, while those on the police boat Robert D. Carter searched for him. As soon as he was spotted by the patrolmen's flashlights, the man would dive and swim for long distances under water, always in an unexpected direction. The fugitive finally was lassoed as he dived. He was taken to St. Joseph's hospital. There he gave his name as Joseph Cruz, twenty years old. He said he lived in San Domingo.

Skill in execution of music is indicated by finger tips that are well padded. Some authorities on palmistry hold that a very good sign of skill and talent—perhaps even genius—in music is indicated by a finger of Jupiter (or forefinger) that is bent or curved; in rare cases, even to a degree approaching the semi-circle. This mark or sign is accentuated and strengthened if the finger of Mercury, the little finger, is also bent in similar fashion. This shows a good musician of any sort, but especially a pianist. If only one finger is bent, some hold, it is a sign of a person who simply has a great love of music, while the bending of both fingers means a performer of music. A short, sharp vertical line on the mount of Apollo, at the base of the third finger, is held to mean, invariably, skill in music. If the line of fortune (running from the line of life toward Mercury) leaves the line of life at a sharp angle, it means love of music. Frightened Off.

WHAT THEY SAID IN PASSING Newspaper Man Took Notes of What He Overheard in Kansas City Shopping District. Just what are women saying to each other as they walk along the street, was a query the young man with the investigative turn of mind found rattling around in his question box one day. The matter worried him until he determined to find out the answer. He went to the shopping district where the feminine groups abound, and with no intention of impoliteness, he gave ear to the conversation of passing femininity. The bits of conversation that reached his ear and gave him the answer to the great question came somewhat in this fashion: "She has been going with him for—Plenty long enough for street wear and besides—I sure is swell candy—That little car he drives looks pretty poor—She certainly knows how to string 'em—He called me up an 'says—I'd never even met the man but he looked—It simply makes your complexion—Rolling them down is the thing this hot—She wears her clothes the worst of any—She told him she couldn't swim—He sure is jolly, but you can't tell about—Said his name was—I lost $10 in two hands—She shot her husband and served—He's my favorite movie star—Newpaper men are so interesting—I just get a can of something at the grocery—Blue is your color, dear—He certainly is free with his coin—I'm dying for a sundae or a shot of coke—He saw me smoking and said—The silk ones are very reasonable now at—What he don't know won't—He always dresses well and has such—"Kansas City Star. --- If You Are for LIGHT WINES AND BEER or Against the POLITICAL RING County A and thereby express your sen- for something.

Miss Calhoun is a Cleveland girl. This is one of her latest pictures. THE MONITOR Soviet Hopes to Attract Foreign Capital for Development of Many Industries. The Soviet government has set 1925 as the year when the production of Russian industries should be brought up to an output approaching the pre-war normal. Transport and agriculture and all auxiliary industries connected with them are to be re-established first. Special attention and liberal expenditure are recommended for oil and coal production. Oil, which in 1922 yielded 263,000,000 poods (a pood is 36 pounds) is expected to yield 497,000,000 in 1925, and coal, which in 1922 yielded 670,000,000 poods is expected to give 1,670,000,000 poods in 1925, as against 570,000,000 poods of oil in pre-war times, and 2,097,000,000 poods of coal in 1916, the year of maximum production. The metal industry, which in 1922 yielded 30,000,000 poods, is expected to yield 120,000,000 in 1925, as against 257,400,000 poods in 1913. In the textile industry, where 1,368,500 spindles and 38,000 looms are working in 1922, producing 500,000,000 yards of cloth, 3,000,000 spindles and 8,000 looms are expected to yield 1,400,000,000 yards of cloth in 1925. This plan, however, cannot be accomplished without money, says a report to the recent communist party conferences. Money is needed from the start, both as fundamental and working capital. And the sum to bring the various industries through the 1925 is fixed at 3,500,000,000 gold rubles. As no such money can be found in the country, the report urges the necessity of attracting money from abroad, as otherwise the existence of the most important industries—metal, machine and mining—are greatly threatened. STATUE OF GLADSTONE GETS ITS ANNUAL FACE WASHING KEYSTONE The sature of Gladstone in the Strand, London, presented a curious view recently when workmen were busy giving him the yearly "rub over." GREAT ARTISTS POORLY PAID Michael Angelo Tolled for $32 Monthly; Glotti for $1 a Day. Modern artists who are inclined to complain of the lack of appreciation of the public, expressed in dollars and cents, of their work, may be interested in the money made by some of their famous predecessors. The ancient masters of painting labored for small pay. Climacue, the first of the great masters and the discoverer of Glotti, was paid about $1 a day, but he had to share this income with an assistant. Glotti himself, called the father of painting and the producer of many fine masterpieces, got from $5 to $11 for each of his figures. Michael Angelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael lived in what may be called the golden age of art, yet the first two received salaries of $32 a month and the last named got $250 for a portrait. ALFONSO DISPLAYS HUMOR Laughs When Child Says He Is Not Handsome Enough to Be King. King Alfonso still likes children. He was talking to a little girl of six years during his visit to Deauville, France, when he suddenly burst out laughing. He had been telling the child, in reply to her question, that he really was the king of Spain. "I don't believe it," the child said; "you have no crown, no diamonds, no throne, and, then, you are not handsome enough. All the kings I've seen in picture books were good-looking." Slipped in Bathing Beauty Slides. An illustrated lecture given by a professor before a class in Grecian art in the University of Mississippi, Oxford, Miss, was nearly broken up as a result of a freshman slipping in some slides of "movie" bathing beauties. Warsaw Reports Show Rail Traffic Is Increasing. Railroad traffic in Poland is increasing. During the first six months of the present year it was 20 per cent greater than during the same period in 1921. The Polish government has purchased from the United States 7,500 freight cars of a capacity of 30 tons each, and it is negotiating for a loan of freight cars from other countries, until the Polish railway equipment factories are able to deliver the first lot of cars now being made.
