Dyer, of Missouri, who introduced the federal anti-lynching bill bearing his name in Congress, will address a mass meeting here under the auspices of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on the night of April 30, 1923, in the City Hall Council Chamber at 7:45 P. M. Mr. Dyer is on a country-wide tour of the middle and far west, lecturing under the Advancement Association's auspices, on "The Shame of America," against which a fight is to be staged in the next Congress. Representative Dyer's measure was passed in the House of Representatives by a vote of 230 to 119 and was favorably reported by the Committee on the Judiciary of the Senate. It had to be abandoned when a group of Southern Democratic Senators served notice that their filibuster would be continued against the Anti-Lynching bill, holding up the business of the entire country, until a pledge was given by the Republicans that the issue would not be forced in that session. In connection with the meeting the following statement from Mr. Dyer was given out at the local office of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People: "I am going before the country on the issue of lynching, a national shame which for thirty-five years the states have failed to end and the federal government has failed to attack. "The Anti-Lynching Bill which I introduced in Congress and which was passed by a vote of almost 2 to 1 in the House of Representatives, was stopped in the Senate by the filibuster of Senators from those states in which most lynchings occur. "The federal Anti-Lynching Bill is not sectional. It applies to every part of the country. It assumes that an atrocity in America is a national disgrace whether it occurs in Georgia, or Texas, or Oregon or Illinois. "I shall reintroduce this measure in the next Congress. It will be reintroduced, I believe, in the Senate. Meanwhile I shall acquaint as many American citizens as possible with the horrors of lynching in America, and with the provisions of the bill designed to end those horrors." "We shall then see if a small minority of men from any group of states can block an expression of the will of the people of this nation." ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 25th and R Sts. Market 3475 O.

The attendance at both services Sunday showed improvement in punctuality and numbers. It is not yet what it should be. Let's not be satisfied until every member is in his pew at eleven o'clock. When we ourselves reach that point we will find that our influence will be felt by those THE MONITOR RAY MIDDLETON JONES Athenas in "The Price" who are interested in us and in the work of the Kingdom. At the morning service the pastor will have for his topic, "Some Things in Which St. Paul's May Show Lea- ship." Every communicant, friend and well wisher of the church will profit much by hearing this discussion. Will you begin now to plan to be present. The topic for discussion at 7:00 p.m. in the Christian Endeavor meeting is correlative to the morning topic. It is, "What My Denomination Has Meant to the World." The Scriptural reference is I Peter 2:9-12. Miss Jamie Chandler will lead the meeting. Clean up, paint up, spruce up. Make your home the most attractive place in the block and your block, the prettiest in the city. METHODIST WOMEN SOUTH OPEN WAR ON LYNCHING EVIL All Good People, Authorities, Pulpit And Press Called to Join in Relentless Crusade Against the Menace PLAN AGGRESSIVE CAMPAIGN Mobile, Ala., April 27, (Special):—Plans for an aggressive South-wide campaign against lynching were formulated here last week by the Woman's Mission Council of the M. E. Church South, which went on record in unmeasured condemnation of mob violence and called upon the authorities, the pulpit, the press and all good people to unite for its suppression. The following resolutions were adopted by unanimous vote: "Whereas, the defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has thrown back upon each state the whole responsibility for removing this hideous crime; therefore "Be it Resolved: That the Woman's Missionary Council of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, in annual session in Mobile, Ala., April 4-11, 1923, do now demand of the authorities of the several states that they make good their claim of the right of local self-government by proving their competency to abolish mob violence and lynching. "That as citizens we assume our responsibility for the protection of human life and hereby call upon all the people of all the states, upon the pulpit and the press, to join against these barbarous practices." A plan was adopted for enlisting, in an intelligent, systematic antl Lynching campaign, the 6,000 local organizations affiliated with the Council which have an aggregate membership of nearly 250,000 of the South's most influential women. The plan provides for a study of lynching on the part of each local society for the effort to secure in each state such special legislation on this subject as may be needed, for vigilance in the prevention of mob violence, for active co-operation with officials in bringing the members of mobs to justice, and for a sustained effort to develop in each community a spirit of good will that will make such crimes impossible. In pursuance of these ends, the societies will seek the co-operation of all other religious and civic groups. The Council pledged to the campaign both moral and financial support. Mrs. Luke Johnson, who is director of Woman's Work in the Southern Commission on Inter-racial Co-operation, was re-elected chairman of the Council's Commission on Race Relations. Southern Methodist women, led by the late Miss Belle H. Bennett, have for a number of years been deeply interested in the Christianizing of race relations and have been doing very effective work to that end.

FORMER OMAHA RESIDENT DIES IN CHI DIES IN CHICAGO News has reached friends in this city of the death in Chicago last week of Mrs. William Wiley who for many years was a resident of this city. She had been in poor health for some months prior to her death. JOHN WOOD Gaston in "The Price" SOME MEN OF VISION It was an ancient Hebrew prophet who wisely said, "Where there is no vision the people perish." This is undoubtedly true. There can be no progress without vision and where there is no progress there is first sterility and then decay. It is because that our people even in the dreary, darksome days of servitude numbered among them men of vision that our race has made such phenomenal progress as to challenge the admiration of the world. It is this power of vision, seeing that which is invisible save to the mind's eye, to the eye of faith, which accounts for that sunny optimism so characteristic of our race, which others find it difficult to understand, and which is the earnest of greater achievements in the days which lie before us. And there are men of vision with us yet. These men, and women, too, for I use the word men generically, seldom realize how splendid their vision is and how much it embraces. Inspired by it they act in the present. The future alone reveals the scope and grandeur of their vision. This fact is illustrated by the founding of the organization of which I told you something last week, the Mosaic Templars of America, with its national headquarters so well-housed in its own great modern and well-equipped office building in Little Rock. The story of its organization is this: In 1883 a young man of our race was standing on a street corner in Little Rock talking to a prominent white man. An aged colored woman approached them begging money with which to bury her husband. Both men gave her some money. As she left the white man prefacing his remarks with profanity said: "I can't see or understand your people. When they work they throw their earnings away, and whenever a 'nigger' dies or needs help the public must be worried to death with 'nigger' beggars—it's a shame." The young man to whom this remark was addressed was John E. Bush. It stung him to the quick. He BROODING OVER DEATH OF HIS BROTHER MAY HAVE LED TO SUICIDE Edward Pleasant Missing from Home Is Believed to Have Jumped Off Douglas Street Edward Pleasant of 1417 North Twenty-first street, who has been missing from his home since Wednesday afternoon, is believed to have committed suicide by jumping off the Douglas street bridge early Thursday morning. Since the sudden death of his brother Eli, Monday morning, to whom he was greatly devoted, his grief seemed to be inconsolable. He told his wife that he could not bear it. He left home at half past 3 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, telling his wife he was going for a little walk. Since that time he has not been seen. He wore a black derby and light overcoat. The toll-keeper at the Douglas street bridge reported that a man answering his description asked him about 4 o'clock Thursday morning what time the cars began running. His attention was taken in collecting toll when he turned again the man was gone and he is alleged to have said that he heard a splash as though some one had jumped into the river. Eli Pleasant, who for five years had been employed as porter in a barber shop at 1520 Dodge street, while washing woodwork Sunday morning fell from a twelve-foot ladder but was not considered seriously hurt. Monday morning he left home at 6 o'clock. He died suddenly at 8:30. Edward became frantic with grief on getting the news and it seemed impossible for him to get over it. The funeral which was to have been held Thursday afternoon was postponed until Friday because of the disappearance of the brother. Eli is survived by two other brothers, Junius of Kansas City, Mo., who with his wife came to the funeral, and James of Chicago. Two close friends, Carter Thomas and Harry Hurt, came from Kansas City Thursday morning to attend the funeral but had to return Thursday night. realized the truth of the statement. He then and there resolved that by God's help he would try to remedy this condition in Little Rock. He had the vision of a local benevolent society into which the members would pay a small sum weekly which would enable them to care for the sick and bury the dead. It is remarkable how nearly all our societies and organizations seem to have centered and still center around sickness and death. Have you ever thought of it? Well, this was young Bush's idea, or vision, if you please. He consulted with his friend, another young man, C. W. Keatts. Seated on the steps of an old building on Ninth and Broadway these two young men worked out their plans which brought into existence the Mosaic Templars of America. They started their home benevolent association with fifteen members. Their treasury was started with about $1.50. The treasurer was not required to give bond. That was in 1883. The one lodge or society has grown to over 2,000, operating in twenty-eight states/ Central America and the West Indies, with a membership of over 100,000, and rapidly increasing; with an annual income closely approximating the million dollar mark, while upon the spot where Bush and Keatts sat on the doorsteps to work out their plans raises the magnificent four-story structure of steel, stone, brick and mortar, of which I told you last week, housing the activities of the Negro organization which loaned the United States government $75,000. John E. Bush and Chester W. Keatts were men of vision. They did not realize what their vision embraced or how wonderfully it would unfold its hidden blessings. They thought of others' needs and how they might be helped. It has been well said that this organization owed its birth to three distinct causes: "First, a white man's scorn; second, a Negro woman's poverty; third, a Negro man's shame."—But its inspiring cause was vision. It is noteworthy that descendants of these men, with other far-sighted members of the order, have caught the RANDOLPH URGES FIGHT New York, April 27.—A. Philip Randolph, editor of the Messenger, a radical magazine, provoked the storm of discussion when he addressed the Fellowship Society, composed of white pacifists, when he said that fighting back is the only way for the Negro to combat the spirit of the Klan.

MASSACHUSETTS TURNED DOWN MARRIAGE BAR Boston, Mass., April 27.—The speaker of the Massachusetts house of representatives has sent word to the Boston branch of the National Equal Rights League that the rules committee, of which he is the chairman, had decided to report adversely on suspending the rules to admit the null forbidding marriage between "persons of different color". The regular time for introducing bills is passed and the committee did not even deign to grant the proponent of the color line bill a hearing. FOURTEEN COPS PROMOTED St. Louis, Mo., April 27.—Fourteen DR. JOHN A. SINGLETON DePrefont in "The Price" vision of possibilities which the founders only faintly and dimly realized. They thought primarily of relief and help during the trying times of sickness and death. The men in charge today, while not losing sight of this, realize that there is an important duty to the living that such organizations as this can and should discharge. The resources of the Order can be used and are used to help its members lift mortgages from farms and other business enterprises threatened with forclosure and loss; to prevent exploitation; to help finance where circumstances justify worthy commercial enterprises and industries of the race. While doing these helpful and necessary things the resources are carefully safeguarded by business acumen and principles. One has but to meet and talk with such men as S. J. Elliott, national grand master, whose rugged, kindly face indicates strength and poise of character; Scipio A. Jones, attorney general, keen-alert, courteous and kindly, one of America's foremost legal minds; or A. E. Bush, national secretary-treasurer, quiet, unassuming and efficient, with others of the national and state executives to realize that they are men of vision. Listen to this! Scipio A. Jones said to me: "If our race can develop a national organization which numbers its membership by hundreds of thousands and has at its command four or five millions of dollars one can readily see the tremendous influence for the good of our people such a strongly financed organization would be. I hope to see the Mosaic Templars of America develop into such a power as this, that it may not only aid in securing our full rights as citizens everywhere but help in the commercial and industrial advancement of our race." He spoke a man of vision. Do you not agree with him? I am quite sure you do. May such men of vision increase among us. And may more of us realize that we have our part to do in making this vision or dream come true. Next week: "Some Public Institutions."

The dramatic club is to be congratulated upon giving this production for such a praise-worthy purpose and our people should show their appreciation by filling the beautiful Brandeis theatre to its capacity next Thursday night. NEGRO MIGRATION NORTH BECOMING QUITE ALARMING Over 32,000 Farm Hands Leave Georgia in the Twelve Months and Large Numbers from Other States, Is Report. SERIOUSLY AFFECTS CROPS Large Abandonment of Acreage Reported and Shortage of Labor Makes Agricultural Out- Washington, April 27.—(Crusader Service.)—Approximately 32,000, or 13 per cent of Negro farm or laborers in Georgia, have moved north in the past twelve months. Since September of last year 22,750 Negro farmers have left South Carolian constituting a loss of about 3 per cent of the Negro farm population. These figures were made public by the Department of Agriculture following a special survey of southern farming districts to check up the reported general movement of Negro farmers to northern industrial centers. The situation in Georgia is said to be more serious than generally realized. Hight industrial wages is given as the chief reason for the migration of Negroes from the south to the north. Boll-well conditions last years which made cotton growing unprofitable for many Negro farmers, unrest among returning troops who experienced more attractive living conditions and after the war, the south during and after the war, breakdown of contract labor system are given as contributory causes. The movement of Negro farm laborers from Florida is estimated at 2 per cent of the population of this class. Alabama has lost $3\frac{1}{2}$ per cent of her total Negro farm population. Figures from Arkansas show a loss of 15,000 or about 3 per cent. The movement from Kentucky has been very small and from Missouri, North Carolina and Oklahoma no movement is reported. Louisiana has lost about 1 per cent of her Negro farm labor, and since April 7, 1922, Tennessee reports a loss of 4,500 Negro farmers. In Texas the farm labor situation is not so serious as in the eastern cotton states. The movement in Georgia and certain other states goes on although crops for the present season have been started. A large aboundment of acreage is reported and labor shortage is expected to be a major factor in limiting acreage this season. FARMER HELD FOR KILLING NEGRO WITH NUTGUN Atlantic City, N.

VIII—No. 42 NIGHT AND RIGHT SCIENTIFIC DRUM TELEGRAPH AFRICAN TRIBAL NETWORK Natives Vibrate Messages to All Parts of Continent—Carrying on Bolshevist Propaganda. AFRICA FOR THE AFRICANS The Message Broadcasted by Fearless Agitators—European Powers Are Helpless Against "Rub-a- Dub" Messages New York, April 27.—(Crusader Service.)—Drum talk! The phrase carries a thrill for all who know Africa. Reports from London to the effect that African nationalists are conducting a propaganda throughout the Dark Continent and that they are broadcasting their messages by primitive wireless will have special interest for all who have read the works of Paul Du Chaillu, Sir Richard Burton, E. D. Morel, Major A. J. N. Temearne, Sir Harry Johnson and Evans Lewin. All these writers know the drums. Thousands of other white invaders—less atriculate—perhaps, have heard them, throbbing by day and thundering by night, and listening, feared the uprising that their messages forebodied. To these it will be highly significant that an organized campaign is being put into effect, because they know, quite as well as the promoters of the campaign, that drum talk is effective; it works, it serves the natives just as the more exact but no more scientific telegraph and cable system serves the European and American. The principle of drum talk is absolutely scientific. The African drum—vibration—is doubtless, the ancestor of the telegraph, telephone, phonograph and radio. Waves of sound, waves of energy, producing through space, vibrate on sensitive antennae. The length, the intensity, the power of the vibrations, following one after another, go to form a system of speech which to the practiced ear is every bit as intelligible as the spoken word of a person immediately present. The boom, boom, boom of a drum, beaten on hilltop five miles distant, conveys intelligence to the natives educated to hear and translate it just as the tick, tick, tick of the telegraph instrument in an office conveys intelligence to a clerk familiar with the code. What is going on, then, in Africa today is a telegraph campaign. One chief after another, one agitator after another is repeating the slogan, "Africa for the Africans". The trick is thousands of years old. It has reached a high state of development. It is universally known, at least in Africa. Every tribe deserving to be called has a corps of drummers. They are the relay men upon whom the working of the system depends. They are tuned to catch and to reproduce the merest fragment of sound. Capt. H. O. Newland in his handbook on West Africa, published in London in 1922, speaks again and again of drum talk. For example he says of the Bakwiri tribe, dwelling on the Cameroon mountains: "They have a horn language, which is very quaint, as well as a drum language, by which news is conveyed from clan to clan by drum tapping—a language which neither slaves nor women are permitted to learn; but which is not peculiar to the Bakwiri, as other races, particularly the neighboring Duala, possess a simila means of communication." Further on, Captain Newland says, "Drums are used to convey distant messages by rythm in the signalling as in Uganda, where each chief has his own beat. Here, in West Africa the drum is divided, i.e., the wooden sides are of different thickness, thus giving two tones." Indeed, as most authorities on Africa testify, the drum broadcasting system covers the continent of Africa just as the telegraph system covers the continent of North America. And, it works speedily, too. News of important events, like the conclusion of the World War rattles from hill to hill with unbelievable speed.

MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES AN UNWISE ACTION GRANTING that the were actuated by worthy motives and the best of intentions, a very unwise action was taken by certain members of our group last week in which two school principals acquiesed. Two professional gentlemen, both comparatively newcomers to our citl, one a resident of only a few months, visited Central and Technical high schools and requested the principals, both of whom are excellent and fair-minded gentlemen, to have the colored students assemble by themselves in a designated room of the respective school buildings that they might lay an important matter before them. At Central high we are advised that a public request was made for "the colored students to assemble in Room 215 at the close of the session." At Technical high the word was privately passed to assemble in the library. These requests were compiled with by a large number of the students while others declined. All, however naturally wondered what was up. It was an unusual and extraordinary request and in our opinion an exceedingly unwise and embarrassing one. It could not do otherwise than raise questions in the minds of all the student body cognizant of the request. This request and action brought to the attention of the students and emphasized a difference which had not been hitherto permitted to obtrude itself in these schools, where all students, irrespective of their racial descent or religious beliefs, are regarded and treated, and rightly so, as members of the student body eligible to all school activities and functions. Any action, therefore, that has a tendency to awaken or call attention to special groups along racial or religious lines in the student body is a serious mistake by whomsoever sponsored or suggested. This action was, therefore, unwise. But not only was it unwise, it was also presumptuous; for the two individuals in question undoubtedly gave the school principals the impression that they were acting in an official capacity as a duly authorized committee representing the colored citizens. Had they not so represented them- Nebraska Chapter Thirteen of Enacted in 1893. Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1898. Sec. 1.

They doubtless felt that they were acting in accord with a large group of our people, which was by no means the case. At most, the Monitor always desires to be fair, this committee of two, according to Mr. Adams' own admission to us did not represent more than six or eight men, three of whom he named stating that he could not recall the names of the other two or three. So it was a limited and self-constituted committee and as such in assuming to speak for our citizens in this matter its action was presumptuous. Furthermore, its action was presumptuous in that by totally ignoring the rights or wishes of parents in the matter, these gentlemen proceeded to urge the attendance of the students at a service, at the same hour that public services are held in all the other places of public worship attended by the various students, at the church where one of these gentlemen acts as assistant pastor and of which the other is a member. Clearly an effort to capitalize the student body not primarily for the students' particular benefit, but for the special advantage of one particular congregation under the guise and pretense of a civic movement. This was not only presumptuous but dishonest. If there was any desire or necessity to get in touch with the colored students of the various high schools of the city to give them special recognition, advice and encouragement on the part of our people and to inspire us to do all in our power to make places for them, all of which is laudatory and commendable and has our heartiest endorsement, surely there was a wiser and better way than that adopted by the gentlemen whose action we are criticizing. The students could easily have reached outside of the school and that is the way it should have been done. As the matter was handled the procedure was unwise and ill-advised however unselfish or praiseworthy the motive or motives underlying it may have been. ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb NEWCOMERS NEWCOMERS of good character should always be most cordially welcomed to our community and made to feel at home. This has always been the position taken by The Monitor. The fact that one is a recent resident should by no means militate against one who is willing to contribute to the betterment and upbuilding of the community with which he has chosen to become actively identified. At the same time it is well to point out that a newcomer into a community, no matter what may be his ability to make a substantial contribution to the public welfare, may seriously curtail his usefulness by the attitude which he assumes. If, for example, his attitude be such as to imply that the people of that community are, with few exceptions, "pea-nut headed fools", ignorantuses and booets, naturally and properly the people will resent this implication and he will seriously handicap himself and arouse opposition. People of a community may be stupid and ignorant, but they do not like to be told so by one whom they consider an outsider. They MAY take it from one of their own, but when another fellow tells them so they don't like it. On more than one occasion in recent years men and women, more or less active in public life, have come to our city and almost before their baggage had been hauled to their temporary abode, by their superior air, patronizing manner and unguarded words have given the impression that they had condescended to come to a benighted community awaiting the enlightenment which they alone can give. Their "I-know-it-all" attitude, of which perhaps they were wholly unconscious, has aroused opposition to the cause which they have at heart and greatly impaired the good they desired to do and may have been able of doing. Communities get into ruts. They become self-satisfied and self-conceited. They frequently need the newcomer to push them out of the rut, to jar them out of their self-compacency and self-conceit. But there is a right way and a wrong way to go at it. The fellow who says, "Let me see if I can help you a little bit; perhaps I can, anyway let me try," goes at it in the right way. The fellow who says, either by word or manner, "Stand aside, you ignorant boob, or nunny weakling, and I'll show you how I can do it, watch ME, you simpleton," goes at it in the wrong way. Unfortunately the latter has been the method of some of our newcomers in recent years. Omaha is a good community in which to live. It has a good class of people. It is an average progressive American community, with its strong points and its weak points. As a city any a community we have much to learn and much to do in the way of civic betterment. Our own group averages up quite well with other elements of the population. We too have much to learn and much to do. In this we need the hearty co-operation of all. We need the newcomer of ability, ideals, vision and willingness to help in the common task, as well as those of longer residence. Much needed co-operation between the newer and older residents of the community is only possible, however, where the latter, or older, residents are willing to admit that the former, or newcomer, has something to contribute perhaps in the way of a broader outlook to the good of the community and the former, or newcomer, recognizes and concedes the fact that the older resident has substantially contributed in the past and still has something to contribute to the community which he has helped to build and while he may be somewhat old-fashioned he resents the implication that he is a fossil and a fool. THE MONITOR BOTULISM MOST DEADLY POISON Million Times Worse Than Prus sic Acid, Say Experts. ONLY 111 DIE IN 22 YEARS Symptoms Usually Take About 18 Hours to Develop and Bear Some Resemblance to Infantile Paralysis Death Fellows in Four or Five Days—Better Methods of Canning Reduce Danger—Results of Experiments Announced. That the poison produced by the bacillus of betulism is about a million times as deadly as prussic acid, although not so quick in its operation, is indicated by experiments at Harvard Medical school, in which it has been found that very few molecules of the poison, and perhaps a single molecule may suffice to kill a mouse. Two groups of people, one in the Bronx and one on Staten Island, have been killed in New York city in the last two years by this deadliest of poisons, and cases have been reported from time to time throughout the country. The most striking recent case occurred at Loch Maree, in Scotland, where a small jar of potted food tainted with botulism killed eight persons who ate of it. Free oxygen kills the germ. The poison occurs very rarely, but when it does, several persons usually eat it and are killed, so that killings by this poison frequently attract wide attention. Its total mortality in a year is small. The proper heating of food after it is canned kills the germ. If the can does develop the bacillus of botulism, the poison loses much of its deadility if the food is thoroughly cooked before it is eaten. Like Infantile Paralysis. "Four people living in Staten Island were killed by botulism a little more than a year ago, when they ate tainted sea food of some kind," said Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner. "A year before that, four or five people were killed in the Bronx by botulism poisoning. The symptoms usually take 18 hours to develop, and bear some resemblance to infantile paralysis. There is a paralysis of facial muscles in both diseases. Death follows usually in four or five days. I understand that an anti-toxin against botulism has been developed in Ohio, but it is difficult to use, because the symptoms do not develop until the poison has progressed. The bacillus is not pathogenic; that is, it does not grow in the human system." The Harvard experiments indicate that a single molecule may attack and destroy small groups of cells in the body of a living creature, the destruction of one cell being sufficient to cause death. The experimenters have expressed unwillingness to believe their own results, though apparently verified by the results on many mice. Previously it had been reported that one-twentieth of a drop of the poison caused death. A single molecule is as small compared to a drop as a drop is compared to the water of New York harbor. If one molecule has the power attributed to it, it would mean that if a gallon of the poison were uniformly milled in the waters of the ocean, a few drops of water taken from any part of the ocean and injected into the mouse might kill it. The germ that produces the poison was discovered by a Belgian investigator, Van Emengem, in 1896. 111 Die in 22 Years Dr. M. J. Rosenau of Harvard, in a recent article on botulism said: "The high mortality, the distressing symptoms and the relation to food have dramatic news value, and the disease has recently caused concern and alarm out of all proportion to its prevalence. A disease which during its period of twenty-two years has made only about 150 persons ill and caused the death of 111 among approximately 100,000,000 of people cannot be compared in magnitude to tuberculosis and other public health problems." Sausages formerly were supposed to be the chief cause of botulism. In the cases of the last few years other foods have been involved. While the victims frequently show the symptoms in from 18 to 18 hours, they do not always develop before 36 hours. Weakness, dizziness, headache and nausea first make their appearance. There is difficulty of vision. Patients sometimes see double. The eyelids often droop, and control over them is lost, so that the sufferer can see only by lifting them with his fingers. These effects flow from the attack of the poison on a particular brain center. Other brain centers become involved. Swallowing becomes difficult. The muscles controlling the voice become paralyzed. The paralysis spreads to the lips, tongue and respiration, and the victim gasps for breath. In the end paralysis of the respiration and the heart becomes complete and there is death. Although deaths have been reported more frequently from botulism lately, it is not believed that the disease is on the increase. Deaths of the same kind have occurred in the past, but have been dismissed under the general name of food poisoning. Cases are apt to be infrequent because canners and preservers of food have been thoroughly informed in methods of treating foods, so that danger of botulism does not exist.

A Roman praetor's edict of 2,200 years ago still affects innkeepers and osters in Scotland. A Drainie farmer handed his horse to an oster to be stabled, and the oster placed it into a double stable, where, shortly after, a second horse was placed. These two horses had previously shared a stall, and were known to be quiet and not quarrelsome. The farmer's horse was sound when it was put into the stable, but when he returned for it, it was found to be lame on the off fore leg, and two days later, on the advice of a veterinary surgeon, was destroyed. The farmer sued the oster and the judge dismissed the case, which was appealed. The appeal judge held that in law the Praetorian edict of 367 B. C. applied and that the injury was not due to "the act of God." The law justice-clerk said the case raised questions of importance and difficulty. The first question they had to decide was whether a stabler fell within the praetor's edict. After carefully considering the arguments adduced and surveying the authorities cited, he was unable to find in modern law any warrant for the suggested discrimination. He was of the opinion that stablers, as well as inkeepers, according to the law of Scotland, fell within the edict. CONDOR GIANT AMONG BIRDS California Species Believed to Have Exceeded in Size Its Cousin of South America. Naturalists have determined that the California condor exceeds in size its cousin, the condor of the Andes of South America, and is larger than the giant or wandering albatross which travels the ocean lanes of the Pacific, south of the equator. The extreme wing expanse of the California condor is close to twelve feet. Through careful measurements, the naturalist learned that the condor of the southern countries is smaller in all respects. One of these largest birds that fly is on exhibition in the Natural History museum at San Diego, Cal. Beside the condor, the turkey buzzard, a smaller relative, appears to be a dwarf. Both birds are carrion eaters, a fact which has contributed substantially to the near extinction of the condor. Naturalists of earlier years record that the condor was once fairly common in California. Ranchers and settlers have been indirectly responsible for the killing of many condors through the placing of poisoned meat intended for consumption by coyotes, bobcats and panthers. Large numbers have also been wantonly killed through the indiscriminate use of firearms. Problem in Psychology. A commuter who spends most of his time on the train thinking instead of playing bridge or reading the papers has a new problem that he has been unable to solve. "I buy a monthly ticket, which entitles me to two rides each day. Sundays included," he says. "I never come to town on Sunday and so I have four or five round-trip tickets left over at the end of the month. When a holiday comes along I have another one. Occasionally the conductor fails to punch my ticket and I can't help having a feeling of exultation, a sort of idea that I am ahead of the game in some way. Of course the extra ride is simply added to the unpunched rides on the ticket at the end of the month and is no real gain. "Now, why should I be pleased at gaining something of absolutely no value to me? Perhaps Einstein could answer. I can't."—Chicago Journal. Wild Boars Become Plague. From the few swine that were let loose on the island of Santa Cruz in 1547 have come a race of ferocious wild boars. They have lost virtually every trace of their original domesticity, and have become powerful wild beasts as fleet of hoof as deer. They mature enormous tusks, long hoops and bristles that are like wire, and are the plague of the ranch people who have sought to develop the island for sheep and cattle raising. The boars tear down fences faster than the ranchers can build them, they root up garden stuff as soon as it springs from the ground, and not infrequently they have been known to gore horses, sheep and cattle. Young lambs are one of their favorite foods, and in the killing and eating of them they show skill and cunning and carnivorous traits comparable to the tactics of wolves. How Toads Hatch Young. The Surinam is the name of a thoroughly aquatic toad that inhabits South America east of the Andes and north of the Amazon, and which is rendered famous by its method of reproduction. The eggs are carried on the back by the mother, and the skin thickens and grows round the eggs until each is enclosed in a dermal cell, which is finally covered by a horny lid, believed to be formed by a secretion of the skin or else to represent the remains of the gelatinous capsule which at first surrounded the eggs. These, which may number about 100, and measure five to seven millimeters in diameter, develop entirely within these pouches, and the young hop out in the perfect condition, without the vestige of a tail, which they never acquire.
