Stewart Washington, D. C., May 18—"Anyone who says that the Negro is a baby in civilization needs to go to a specialist and be examined, for there is something wrong with his head," was the declaration made by the Rev Dr. W. H. Jarnagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist church and president of the National Race Congress, in his opening remarks of the 8th annual session in Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, which just closed here. "We are full grown men and women," continued Dr. Jarnagin, "and the world is allowing no excuse for any short comings we may have after sixty years of enjoyment of freedom. We must stand up as men or be crushed to a frazzle. We are through paying the debt for our emancipation to the Republican party or any other political party. With our own blood and sweat we helped to strike the shackles and save the union and we have helped to build up the country, and now with the ballot we are going to protect our rights. Can't Guess Our Vote "You can no longer look into our faces and tell how we are going to vote. We are studying men and measures, we are studying economic conditions, we are interested in our country, and for that we are working daily. "We have no Bolshevists, anarchists or traitors in our rank. Everywhere you see a black face it is one hundred per cent American, and we are ready to strike down any one who dare offer an insult to Old Glory but we are no longer blind to the discriminations which come to us in a country where thousands of our men have died to hold together and protect it against every enemy we have had. We have been true, bore all without murmur, but with the continued lynchings, burnings, and shooting down of our fellow beings in cold blood we cannot guarantee what will be the attitude of our young people in the future, who believe in protecting themselves. The spirit of cringing cowardice which was bred in the slave is fast disappearing, and those who have imbibed the free air and ideas of America, who love the flag and have sacrificed for it and its preservation, canon stand idly by and see these ideals destroyed by the despicableness and wickedness of lawless men." Man to Man There were many addresses made during the session touching many phases of the life of the Negro in this country. Every address had in it the proper ring of manhood and womanhood. Every address had in it the proper ring of manhood and womanhood. No cringing cowards were sought, but brave, upright, honest many men. Perhaps no address dealt more with the future of men "dwelling together in unity" than did the address of Robert E. Clay, of Bristol, Tenn., secretary of the inter-racial commission of Tennessee. He brought to the Congress not only a message of hope and good cheer, but told how it was to be accomplished, told how the races should walk and talk together, how they should work together in the sight of God. He advocated a very thorough understanding between the two races in America, each recognizing the manhood rights of the other, and declared that the proper solution would come through man dealing with man as man and not as master and slave, or superiors and inferiors. He told of the friendly relations between the races in Tennessee, and how well they were getting along together. He was given an ovation, and his common sense practical address was commented on throughout the entire session. The following officers were elected: Dr. W. H. Jarnagin, Washington, D.C., president; Dr. J. U. King, vicepresident; Dr. C. C. Somerville, recording secretary; Miss D. E. Harris, assistant secretary; Mrs. G.

OLD OMAHA RESIDENT ANSWERS FINAL SUMMONS Richard A. Seay, aged 66 years, a highly respected resident of Omana for the past thirty-six years, passed away at his residence, 1924 North Thirty-sixth street, early Tuesday morning after an illness dating back several month, during which time Mr. Seay had been up and down, but not continuously confined to his home. The deceased was born near Lebanon, Tenn. For a number of years he operated the Hanscom Park Transfer Line and for more than thirty years was Janitor of Hanscom Park Methodist church, white, one of the largest in the city, of which he was also a member. The funeral will be held Friday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the family residence in accordance with his expressed wish, although the pastor and officials of Hanscom Park Methodist church were anxious to have it held from the church. Mr. Seay is survived by his widow and an only daughter, Ruth, who is a public school teacher at St. Joseph, Mo. Interment will be at Forest Lawn. The Rev. Arthur Atkne, pastor of Hanscom Park M. E. Church, will officiate, assisted by the Rev. John Albert Williams. Members of the official board will act as honorary pall bearers. PHI DELTA SORORITY ENTERTAIN MOTHERS The Phi Delta Sorority entertained their mothers at their annual dinner Wednesday night at St. Philip's rectory. The table was attractively decorated and the viands were most appetizingly prepared by the young women. Miss Ebbel Jones, president of the club, in a brief and neat speech expressed to the mothers their pleasure in having them attend these annual gatherings. The mothers in turn fittingly responded telling of their anticipation and enjoyment of this annual event. Three of the mothers who though quite young in years, are proud of the fact that they are grandmothers, expressed the hope that their granddaughters would be members of the Phi Delta. These grandmothers ars Mrs. William Newman, Mrs. Burrell Watson and Mrs. William Lawson. It was a most delightful affair. GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY ENTERTAIN THE MOTHERS The Girls' Friendly society of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon entertained their mothers at St. Philip's rectory, Monday night from 7:30 to 9 o'clock. An interesting program of instrumental and vocal selections and recitations were given. Those participating in the program were Madeline Shipman, Celestine Smith, Ruth Pegg, Sylvia Adams, Florence Jones and Margaret Murray. Mrs. John Albert Williams briefly explained the objects and ideals of the Girls' Friendly, which is the largest girls' and women's organization in the world. Membership is not limited by denominational lines. After the program refreshments were served.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MAY 18, 1923 WH From Nebraska to Arkansas and Back Experiences and Observations of the Editor on Trip to Southland Where He Saw Many Things of Interest The board of directors and advisory of the Negro Women's Christian Association will meet with Mrs. Mamie Shelton Union Tuesday evening, June 5th. Also regular monthly meeting Wednesday, June 6th, at the Home, 3029 Pinkney street. We are very thankful to Mrs. Sergeant Letcher for the nice rug which she gave the Home, and to Mr. Pryor for his annual donation. Also Mr. Broomfield for another one of his benefit entertainments which netted us $155.05. We feel that Mr. John Broomfield and Mr. Bob Robinson mean much to the Home. Their names and work shall long be remembered by the N. W. C. A. And last, but not least, the officers and members of the N. W. C. A. wish to thank the Dubois Players for the wonderful play and their success. We find no words to express our thanks to Mrs. Cecelia Jewel, the manager, and the other players. It was indeed a success in every way netting the Home $340.50. In defense of the Dubois Players and the N. W. C. A. we want to say that it was an agreement of the board of the N.W.C.A. with the players to give the play on a fifty-fifty basis, so we hope the public will understand and the discussion will cease.

South, aged 53, died Wednesday night at the University hospital after a month's illness, with complications resulting from an attack of the flu. Mr. South who was the proprietor of a Pool Room and Barber shop on North Twenty-fourth St., was a native of Missouri, but had resided in Omaha over thirty years. He is survived by his widow, one son, Orlo, and other relatives. The funeral will be held from the chapel of the Western Funeral Home, Saturday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, the Rev. John Albert Williams officiating. Interment will be in Forest Lawn cemetery. Mr. and Mrs. E. R. West have recently purchased a 1923 Buick. OFF FOR HOT SPRINGS Readers of this series will doubtless recall that the chief objective of my trip to Arkansas was Pine Bluff, where I held a weeks' Preaching Mission in St. Andrew's church, but that enroute there Bishop Demby had arranged engagements for me for a service on Friday night, the Feast of the Purification, or Candlemas, as it is called, at St. Philip's, Little Rock, and Sunday services at St. Mary's, Hot Springs, the famous health resort. Consequently to fill my engagement at Hot Springs, I had to leave Little Rock early Saturday afternoon over the Rock Island road. I have told you that the waiting-room "For Colored" at the Union station is commodious, attractive, well-appointed and clean. That of the Rock Island is the direct opposite of this. It is a small stuffy room, not more than ten by twelve feet, if that large. With traffic ordinarily heavy I do not see how it can begin to accommodate with any kind of comfort or decency the traveling public who must occupy it. If travel is heavy and the weather inclement compelling indoor occupancy people must be packed like sardines in a box. Fortunately on this afternoon there were only some ten or twelve passengers in the room about equally divided between the sexes. They were all neatly dressed and well mannered. There was a young mother, she looked to be about eighteen, with her baby, a bright-eyed infant girl, going into the country to spend Sunday with her parents. There were also two or three older women, who engaged in conversation in a quiet tone. Among the men was a well-groomed, alert young man, with a business air, to whom I was introduced. His name was Oliver or Olive, I have forgotten which, for I am writing entirely from memory having misplaced my notes and as the printer is calling for "Copy," I haven't time to hunt for them. He is the general agent, I believe, of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company, one of the large companies financed, controlled and operated by our people. He is a college graduate, well bred and well informed, a type of the alert young Negroes of the Southland who are doing worth-while things. We MISSISSIPPI NEGROES ISSUE A STATEMENT EXPLAINING EXODUS "Negro's Life May be Taken With Impunity" is One Cause of Migration From the South Land States DESPAIRED OF HIS RIGHTS Many Reasons Given Why the Negro in the South Has Found it Advisable to Migrate to Northern States New York, May 18—A statement drawn up in a mass meeting of prominent Negroes in Jockson, Mississippi, recently, explaining to the white citizens of the state the reason for the exodus of colored labor from the South, has been received and made public by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. "The Negro feels that life is not safe in Mississippi," says the statement, "and his life may be taken with impunity at any time upon the slightest pretext or provocation by a white man." The statement which is signed by S. D. Redmond, colored lawyer and chairman of the Jackson mass meeting, continues: "The record filibuster, vote and defeat by the Southern representatives in Congress against the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, in the last Congress, has caused the Negro to believe that the South is invrocably determined to perpetuate therein lynch law and mob violence in the South. "The Negro has generally despaired of obtaining his rights as a citizen in this section. He has lost faith and a few of the following facts all tend to force him to this conclusion." Among the outstanding grievances recited in the list are the following: That twenty dollars is spent on the education of every white child in Mississippi against one dollar for every Negro child. had a brief but pleasant conversation and I regretted that he was going in an opposite direction so that I was deprived of his companionship on the train. Wanting a copy of The Literary Digest, I had to go into the section "For White" where the news stand and check room is located. I noted the contrast between this and the waiting room "For Colored." Now here is something startling, upon my entrance into this room, nobody fell dead, nor did they seek safety in flight. One or two looked rather inquiringly at me and returning their gaze, I bought my Digest and went out about my business. In due time the train, which was a few minutes late, pulled into the station covered with snow, for there had been snow all along the line. It was then "spitting snow"—the real thing—in Little Rock, and the air was crisp and snappy, making a Nebraskan feel quite at home. Now when anybody tells you that it does not snow in Arkansas in February, just smile, knowingly. I passed with other passengers through the gate. Oh yes, both classes of passengers enter here through the same gate, and I went forward seeking my special car. ahem. You know we are such "pumpkins" in the South, that we must have our own "private car" if you please. Some class to us. It isn't everybody who can have a private car. Aristocrate rides in "private" or special cars, the plebians in common, ordinary coaches. On all roads, I am informed, the custom is to have these "special" coaches next to the locomotive or baggage car. In the pristine days of the Jim Crow coach, the position of honor was in the rear; but, by some inscrutable plan, there were few rearend accidents. There were, however, two or three bad collisions in which the fatalities in the front coaches were heavy, while those in the rear coach were negligible; thereupon it was decided to put the "Children of the Sun's" special coach at the front end of the train and there it holds its place until the immediate present. The railroad officials, or it may have been the traveling public of the "superior race," or both, magnanimously decided that they preferred to That while there are 1,000 high schools for white children in the state there is but one such institution maintained for colored children. "It appears that almost innumerable Negro tenant farmers charge their landlords with either no settlement, or an unfair settlement, and many Negroes after appealing to both state and federal authorities in vain, have given up in despair and sought other climes, some of them charging that a state peonage exists in certain sections of the state. "The Negro charges that one white man's word may outweigh that of a hundred Negroes; that no public improvement as a rule is made in those sections of towns and cities occupied by Negroes." In addition the statement claims that Negroes in Mississippi, although they contributed more soldiers to the U. S. Army during the war than the whites, are completely excluded from all share in jury service, the ballot and from any participation in government. 'This he holds as responsible for all of his many inequalities and injustices under the law, and feels that notwithstanding the kindly feelings of many to the contrary, that such a state and condition must ever remain just as long as he is denied the ballot; since history affords no example of mutual co-operation, mutual contentment and mutual welfare, where one group assumes guardianship of another and attempts to govern them without the consent of the governed." The report asserts that those Negroes who have left Mississippi cannot be brought back, but that the exodus can be checked if conditions are remedied. U. S. WORKERS TO LOSE JOBS New York, May 18.—(K. N. F. Service) Numbers of colored employees in Washington will lose their jobs when Col. Clarence O.

Phinney, of 115 North Twenty- first street, continues to improve under the care of Dr. H. Wiggins. give their brethren of color any advantage there might be in this location in starting out for glory, or some other destination via a railroad collision. At all events the special is next to the locomotive or baggage. Knowing this I went forward to find my car. I am almost ashamed to admit my stupidity, but I believe in confession. When I reached what looked to me to be the front car, or the one next to the baggage, I saw a large number of white passengers boarding it. I thought, like on the street cars, I would have to enter that door and then pass through to the special section. Honestly, I did. While I was standing there waiting for my turn to get on, two rather roughly dressed colored men passed men, and turning one said, politely, "Come this way, reverend." Laughing at my stupidity, I followed them and entered the door at the forward end. It was the right car, all right, but I was waiting at the wrong end. One of the men said to me, as I was getting on the train, "I saw, reverend, that you didn't belong about these parts, and didn't know just where to get in, that's why I told you. But you'll soon catch on." I thanked him for his kindness and told him I was quite sure I would. I did "catch on" but it was not quite as easy as I imagined; for the very next time I had to board our special coach, an entire coach being reserved for us, and not half a one, I found you had to enter the BACK end, and on another occasion it was, either end. This lack of uniformity was rather puzzling to an unsophisticated west-erner. I was, however, off for Hot Springs in our special three-sectioned coach, into the sacred precincts of which no ordinary Caucasian foot could step, that coveted privilege being limited to trainmen and government officials. I found my fellow passengers neatly dressed and intelligent and from them I gleaned much of interest as we sped toward the heights of the heavily wooded Ozarks upon which Hot Springs nestles.

VIII—No. 45 SGUST SAVAGE EXCLUSION CASE PUT SQUARELY UP TO PRESIDENT Harding Asked to Interest French Government to Champion Cause of Colored Girl Artist BOAS VOICES HIS PROTEST Says Committee Exposes Itself to Ridicule of Europe—Ethical Leader Now Abroad to Plead Cause New York, May 18.—Prof. Franz Boas of Columbia, America's leading authority in anthropology, and other prominent white educators of this city have joined in the movement to educate the committee of "eminent American artists" in the true ethics of Art and to persuade it to reverse its stupid and discriminatory decision against Augusta Savage, colored artist of recognized ability, and declare her eligible to enter Fontainebleau School of Fine Arts at the Palace of Fontainebleau, France, next month. In a letter addressed to Ernest Peimoca, chairman of the committee, Prof. Boas said: "I read a few days ago in the newspapers that Miss Savage's application to study in the Fontainebleau School of Arts has been rejected by the committee. I know Miss Savage's work and I wish to protest most energetically against the discrimination against the gifted young woman on account of her racial descent. I trust the committee will revise its decision and permit her to pursue her art. I cannot understand how the committee would be willing to expose itself to the ridicule of all Europeans by taking a stand dictated by narrow racial prejudice." Friends of Miss Savage have started a movement to enlist the interest of President Harding and other members of the administration at Washington in Miss Savage's behalf, and in the interest of art and fair play. The suggestion has been advanced that the French government be interested by Washington to champion the cause of fair play. In the meantime Alfred W. Martin, No. 995 Madison Avenue, one of the leaders of the Ethical Society of New York, who sailed for France April 28, will champion Miss Savage's cause with the French government this week. At Grove M. E. Church, Twenty-second and Seward streets, a special meeting of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will be held Sunday afternoon. A good program will be rendered. The leading subject, "Facts on the Ku Klux Klan and the Fascist", will be discussed by one of the leading attorneys of Omaha. It is necessary that our people know these facts, and the organization urges that every one be present. This organization knows how to get information, and gets it. The meeting will be opened at 4 p. m.

FUNERALS AND FLOWERS FLOWERS are emblems of the Res- FLOWERS are emblems of the Resurrection and are therefore appropriate expressions of condolence when death visits the household. Their beauty and fragrance soothe sorrow. The gift of flowers in the hour of bereavement is a beautiful way of expressing sympathy and is always appreciated. The custom of doing so has become firmly fixed and could not be set aside were there the desire and disposition to do so. We have no desire to see this custom set aside, but we do believe that the tendency toward extravagance in the observance of this beautiful custom should be checked and that certain reforms, were it possible to bring them to pass, would be desirable. We believe that it would be much better, for example, to substitute simple bouquets of a few cut flowers for the costly, elaborate and, in many cases, meaningless designs which are much in favor. These elaborate designs, such as "Gates Alar," "Broken Columns" ("Pillows" and the like, are cumbersome and artistic and not so expressive as the simpler sprays and bouquets. The latter, in our opinion, commend themselves for another reason. It is this. They can be sent to carry cheer to some sick room in private home and hospital, thus doing a double duty. Instead of heaping flowers upon the new-made grave, where they wither within a few hours and are thrown into some unsightly pile by the sexton, would it not be better to leave only a few, say one from each spray or bouquet, upon the new-made mound, and use the others to carry good cheer to the living shut-in in home or hospital? The extravagant expenditure of money for flowers for funerals and the wastefulness shown in heaping them in huge piles upon graves to speedily fade, are abuses of a beautiful custom which should be corrected. Send flowers as expressions of sympathy and of faith in the life everlasting, but let it not be overdone as the custom of the day seems to be. A few simple fragrant blossoms given as genuine expression of heartfelt sympathy in bereavement are more expressive than the massive special designs which many seem to be.

And while speaking of flowers at funerals in which such lavishness is shown, it is not amiss to suggest that we see to it that we be a little more generouswith our flowers to the living. What we would emphasize at this time particularly is less extravagance and ostentations in the use of flowers for funerals. How many of our readers think we are right about this? Let us hear from you. THE VETERANS' HOSPITAL OUR UNCLE SAMUEL finding it inexpedient to care for soldiers of color in the regular government hospitals decided to erect one "exclusively for Negroes" on ground which we believe was donated for that purpose at Tuskegee, Alabama. Personally, we have very decided views upon such matters. We believe that any American citizen who is good enough to risk his life and shed his blood for the defense of this country is good enough to be taken care off by this government in its regularly established institutions without regard to his racial antecedents, his cuticular pigmentation or his religious belief. We think any other position than this shows cowardice and hypocrisy. We know that there are many who do not agree with this position; but we also know that logically it is impregnable. This is our conviction. We know, however, that the doctrines of opportunism, compromise and expediency dominate American life, so far as the colored American is concerned, and the government supinely bows the knee to the doctrine of expediency and recognizes two separate and distinct types of American citizens differentiated solely upon the ground of color. Acting upon this theory the United States government practices segregation which means in its logical outcome disintegration and de-Americanization and then wonderment is expressed as to the prevalence of this spirit throughout the nation. This spirit is responsible for the erection of a special hospital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee. But please note Southern inconsistency: While deem- ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb ing it inexpedient to admit Negro patients to hospitals admitting whites, our Southern white friends insistently demanded that white physicians, surgeons and nurses should be in charge of this government hospital "exclusively for Negroes" and that minor positions could be filled by Negroes. Amazing magnanimity! Santa simplificas! Fortunately, however, the manhood of the race has asserted itself, and justly demanded that this hospital be manned by Negroes. We have eminent physicians and surgeons and well-qualified nurses, with chemists, pharmacists and any other skilled scientists whose services may be required to fully equip this institution. President Harding has given assurance that the entire personnel of the hospital will be colored. This is as it should be. The staff is now being assembled. This hospital offers a splendid opportunity for the demonstration of race capability. We hope to see it so ably administered and develop such skillful surgeons and specialists that this Government Hospital for Negroes will gain an international reputation. We believe that it will do this. Opposed as we are to the principle of segregation, as undemocratic and un-American, we believe that it can be used as a powerful agency in racial advancement. If the government insists that we must have separate institutions, then let them be manned from top to bottom by capable men and women of our race as the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee is to be. Kills Self so He Can Do Good in New World New York—Convinced that in the world beyond the grave he could do more good than on earth, Hubert Devaney, forty, a spiritualist, killed himself in his home here. Devaney was employed as night watchman of Dreamland park, of which his brother, Orris, is manager, and nightly, according to the police, went into a trance and when he came out declared he had talked with spirits. Several times he offered what he said were messages from his brother's deceased sons. Devaney left, two letters for his brother, one asking Orris to pay a $1 loan. In the other he said: "If it is true that there is another life waiting for us all beyond the grave in that other world, I am convinced that I can do more good there than here. Good-by and good luck to all." Wonderful Parade Opens Annual Raisin Pageant Fresno, Calif.—The 15th annual Raisin Day celebration was ushered in here by one of the greatest parades ever seen in California. An unusual array of beautiful floats, said to have cost $60,000, featured the long march. Handsome trophies were awarded for the best floats and marching delegations. One division of the parade was given over to the allegorical spectacle "From the Garden of Eden to the Garden of the Sun." English "Useful Women" Aid Men to Find Wives Manchester, England.—"The Useful Women," an organization which is a sort of league of fairy godmothers, has started operations here. Under its guidance bachelors requiring wives, elderly gentlemen looking for some one with whom to discuss politics, brides needing advice about the trousseau, or hostesses seeking "fillers" at a dinner party, all will be assisted. Hauls Officer 100 Miles Anchorage, Alaska--While taking an Indian accused of murder from Fort Gibbon to Fairbanks recently, Deputy United States Marshal E. B. Webster was stricken with appendicitis. The marshal's prisoner placed him on the sled with which they had been traveling and mushed more than a hundred miles with him to a hospital, where an operation was performed. THE MONITOR SEEING THROUGH METAL IS HAILED AS MIRACLE Savants Are Baffled by Latest Achievement, Says Report. London.—A story comes from Madrid through the newspaper Impirical of the two sons of a Spanish nobleman who can see through metal. Of course, one says at once that it is absurd and incredible. Perhaps it was after dinner, when sight sometimes plays us strange tricks. I am not one who is likely to accept such tales readily. Nevertheless, it is quite possible that we have not yet reached the limits of knowledge as to the way in which many sensations may be transmitted. The apparently miraculous reports of some who have been deaf from birth hearing messages broadcast by wireless should make the unalterably skeptical pause and think. The discovery of a ray that would penetrate opaque bodies was an eyepenner which, when first reported, caused much defusive scoffing. Today its use is a matter of routine. May there not be other subtle, intangible, and as yet undiscovered means by which emotions and thoughts are transmitted from one person to another—means that are independent of our known senses? Let the skeptical reader consider a few well-established facts of common experience. How does a dog know when you are afraid of it, though you betray no signs of fear obvious to man? It has been suggested that the character of the sweat changes and the dog, with its wonderful olfactory brain, can detect this. I do not know how the dog knows; but he does know. How does personality make itself felt, as it notoriously does? The old idea, long since discarded, was the existence of animal magnetism. It has been suggested that an invisible, intangible aura, or shadow, surrounds everyone, each aura transmitting and receiving emotions and feelings. A theory again. Still there is something about personality that appears to display itself beyond the known senses of man. How does the hypnotist influence his subject? We do not believe in hypnotic rays; the subject is now supposed to be the main factor in hypnotism. But this does not carry absolute conviction to my mind. I fancy we have not yet got to the bottom of these things. We may be on the verge of lifting the veil that hides much that is unknown. THE TREE A sequela gigantea, the California big tree, was transplanted from California to the St. Elizabeth's hospital grounds at Washington, D. C., some 17 or 18 years ago. The tree was transplanted as an experiment to see if it is possible for the sequela gigantea to attain its enormous height in the eastern climates of the United States. Bod Catchae 10.400 Fish Rapid City, S. D.—Lucius Alexander, who is rated among the champion trout fishermen of the Black Hills, has a fishing rod of "10,000 battles," "That rod," said Lucius, of his weather-browned, split bamboo, "is three years old and has landed more than 10,400 fish. All of them came from Rapid creek." Wild Animals for Germany. Hamburg.—One of the heaviest shiploads of wild animals ever to pass through the Suez canal arrived here recently from India. It included nine young elephants, having a combined weight of more than five and a half tons, seven tigers and a number of Indian leopards, besides black panthers, Tibet bears, monkeys and birds. His Hearty Laugh Displaces Neck Bone Belfast, Me.-M. A. Cook, a Belfast photographer, laughed so hard that he displaced a bone in his neck. Just what he was laughing at he does not remember, but as he was suffering with a lame neck he was examined and a doctor found a small bone out of place.

CHINESE JUST LEARNING VALUE OF DRINKING MILK Empress, Century Ago, Forbade "Robbing Calves of Food." Washington.—A hundred years or more ago the empire of China, by imperial edict, declared it selfish for human beings to drink cows' milk. The august old lady thought it deprived calves of their natural food. Thus without knowing it, perhaps, she created a dietary regime for Chinese children from which they are only now about to be released. About a decade ago the Chinese began to take notice of the use of milk by missionaries and, in the vicinity of the mission stations, began using their own cows and water buffalo as food sources. Once started on a milk diet, the trend has been growing by leaps and bounds. Importations of condensed milk, milk powders and the sale of ice cream in the foreign colonies of the large cities have turned the attention of the Chinese to milk drinking habits and they have now begun to study the benefits that might come to their children if the old empress had not issued the edict. America with its billions of dollars invested in dairy cattle and products and machinery factories is looking to China as a big outlet, and its hopes are about to be realized, according to the World's Dairy Congress association. A type of letter being received from the Far East by the association has just arrived from Ellwood Varney, an American, milk expert of the Liberty dairy at Shanghai. "There is no better opportunity in the world, than right here in China," writes Mr. Varney in a plea for aid in getting American dairy school men to the Orient. "The kind of men wanted are the sort who are as much interested in the future of dairying as they are in fattening their own pocketbooks. We do not want the self-seeker. We want the doer and the giver and he will find himself richly rewarded." Mr. Varney's chief, Mr. Yee, owner of the Liberty dairy at Shanghai, a Cornell university graduate, is going to attend the World Dairy congress in Washington in October. He is going to take back to China with a large number of purebred dairy cattle to establish breeding stations similar to the horse-breeding stations established in the United States by the government. German Called "Swine" Is Told He Is Lucky Berlin.—It is no crime here to call a German a "swine," however touchy Hans, in other places, may feel about the epithet. A local court has just decided that the appellation is not even offensive—in a legal sense. A Berlin police official recently was transferred to Munich. He wasn't very popular in Berlin, and the Zeltung und Mittag, in reporting the transfer declared "Henceforth Munich will have the swine." The police official, oddly enough, felt aggrieved. He sued both the writer of the article and the editor of the paper. Both insisted that the term "to have swine" meant luck. The judge ruled that no offense was intended. There is no record that Munich considers herself in luck, but the police official is said to feel he is out of luck. Famous Bible Bought by Radio While at Sea New York.—Announcing that he had purchases of rare books totalling $1,250,000, Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach arrived on the Olympic. One of his acquisitions was the Gutenberg Bible, which was bought by radio while at sea. The Bible was obtained from James W. Ellsworth, New York City, who is said to have paid $14,800 for it. The new owner did not reveal his purchase price. He brought back several collections from England, France and Italy. Great Glider Contest to Be Held in Summer Washington.—An international glider contest will be held during the summer on the Pacific coast, the National Aeronautic association announced with a statement that the event probably would be held at Oakland, Cal., between July 10 and Aug. 15. Horse Killed; Rider Unhurt. Tyrltown, Miss.—E. G. Goff, a colored preacher, was uninjured when his horse was struck and killed by lightning here. The colored man's watch chain was melted and his clothing torn from his body, but his watch continued running. Fined $6.45 for Stealing Newspaper. Baltimore. Md.—Found guilty of stealing a newspaper from a doorstep, Eugene Rohm, a sailor, was fined $6.45 here. Divorced, Sues for Courtship Pillows Peter Schutz of Hammond, Ind., recently obtained a divorce from his wife, Eva, on charges of cruelty. A few days later he filed suit against her for possession of the sofa pillows and other furniture. It was said that the wife kept the sofa pillows in memory of Peter's courtship.
