BULLY BEATS BROOKLYN BISHOP
White Staff of Doctors and Colored Nurses Open Hospital for Negro Veterans ARKANSAS MOB THREATENS I
BULL White Staff
UNITED STATES HOSPITAL OPENS WITH WHITE STAFF
Colonel R. H. Stanley, Army Physician of Alabama, Placed in Charge With White Doctors and Colored Nurses
SOUTH IS STILL IN SADDLE
President Harding Publicly Stated That Entire Personnel of The Hospital Would Be Colored
Tuskegee, Ala., June 8.—Despite the widely published statement alleged to have been authorized by President Harding that the United States hospital erected here for the exclusive treatment of Negro world war veterans would be officered throughout with a colored personnel, the hospital opened May 20th, with Col. R. M. Stanley, a white army physician of Greenville, Alabama, in charge. He has a staff of white physicians and forty colored nurses have been certified, but no colored physicians. It is reported that later some colored physicians will be given minor places.
Dr. Stanley's position pays $10,000 a year, and he will supervise the expenditure of $1,250,000, which it is estimated will be the amount of the annual budget.
Strong opposition to placing colored men in charge of the hospital has come from the South which in this case as in so many other matters affecting government affairs, seems generally to have its own way. Information generally circulated is to the effect that the influence in the Veterans' Bureau who have staged the entire official opposition, and who had control before the present director, General Hines, assumed charge, have set forth the claim that the position open in the Tuskegee Hospital, said to be the finest the government has yet built, called for doctors especially qualified in certain technical practice which few colored physicians have had any reason to qualify themselves for. Medical men of national reputation have been conservative in discussing the situation. One of the best known physicians in the country who practices in Chicago said here recently: "I have not heard of Dr. George E. Cannon or Dr. J. E. Perry of the National Negro Medical Association being asked to confer on this matter. They would know better how to put their hands on the right men than anyone else in America." Dr. ePryr, of Knsas City, Mo., is president, and Dr. Cannon of Jersey City, is chairman of the executive association.
In the meantime Dr. Moton, who extended the government the invitation to come to Tuskegee, and whose friends assert he was genuinely interested in having the hospital manned by Negroes, has been subjected to attack because the white people of Alabama demanded the plum, and it is claimed compromised him into seeing their view. Dr. Moton's friends deny these charges as absurd and say that he practically broke with the white people of the town and Montgomery on the subject.
WOULD NOT BE SEGREGATED
St. Louis, Mo., June 8.—The patriotic spirit of the colored boys of the local American Legion was somewhat marred Decoration Day by an attempt to segregate them on the boat which was to carry all ex-service men to Jefferson Barracks.
According to a statement from McRae Joneh, Adjutant, Calvin Hyde Post American Legion, the men of his Post bought tickets and had embarked ready for sailing when members of the boat crew attempted to stretch ropes segregating the colored soldiers from the whites. Seeing this spirit the colored boys withdrew from the boat and demanded their money back. They returned to town somewhat disappointed but singing "Before I'll be a Slave, I'll be Buried in My Grave."
It is understood that the segregation plan was done with the knowledge and consent of white legionnaires who, it is said, are quite hostile toward the black soldiers who went over seas—and for what?

RECEPTION FOR ACTING PASTOR
The members and friends of the Grove M. E. church gave a reception in honor of Rev. C. Simms and his good wife who has so ernestly and prayerfully taken care of their church till the Rev. E. C. W. Cox, their pastor, arrived from Manhattan, Kansas. Mrs. R. M. Hardidon who has just returned from Clark university where she attended school last term was also a guest. Mr. Y. W.

STEADY STREAM OF BLACK LABORERS MOVING NORTH
National Industrial Conference Bureau Issues Suggestive Statement Relating to Exodus
PITTSBURG WANTS WORKMEN
Large Northern Firm Praises The Dependability and Skill of Colored Labor in its Employ
New York City, June 8.—From all sections of the South a steady stream of black men is moving northward. This is the statement issued by the National Industrial Conference Board, 10 E. 39th Street, which estimates that Negroes are leaving the South at the rate of 17,000 per month.
"Negroes from Georgia and the Carolinas are coming to the Atlantic Seaboard states and New England. Negroes of Alabama, Mississippi and Tennessee to the middle western states, and Negroes from Arkansas and Louisiana are moving into the states further west."
Whites Praise Negro Labor
One large Northern firm says of its colored labor: "We have employed Negroes in our shops for a great many years. In looking back over their service record we find continuous service records of five years, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years and even twenty-five and thirty years. These Negroes have faithfully, loyally and honestly performed the service that was required of them. I have found that with proper supervision the colored man could not only do skilled work, but would also maintain a standard of quality and production as established in the shop."
Pittsburg Needs 8,000
The labor shortage in Pittsburg is reported as so acute that it is estimated that 8,000 laborers and several hundred semi-skilled workers are needed at once.
In New Jersey one construction company, unable to get colored workers, is hiring fifty-five Chinese.
Colored ministers in Mississippi, in a lengthy statement declared that Negroes are leaving the State because for every dollar spent on Negro children for education, twenty dollars is spent on the white child. High schools, reformatories, hospitals, colleges, blind asylums and smooth streets are built out of state funds, ministers say, for whites only altho Negroes are also taxed. Inability to vote and injustice in the courts were also cited.

SOME THINGS I LEARNED FROM MY FELLOW PASSENGERS
“You haven’t finished telling us about your trip to Arkansas, have you? I hope not, because I enjoy it so much,” said an interested reader.
“No,” I replied, “I haven’t even got to Hot Springs, yet, of which there is much to tell, and then there is Pine Bluff, where I spent a busy but happy week, met many delightful people and learned much of interest. So you see I have a great deal yet to tell. I may, however, now and then skip a week or two, but I shall continue the series until it is completed.
In my last article which was captioned, “Off for Hot Springs”, I told you of the to me somewhat puzzling way of trying to board “the special coach” reserved for “The Children of the Sun”, as George Wells Parker has most happily named our people, because of the varying custom of sometime entering at one end of the coach and at another time another end and sometimes at either end.
I can see how very easy it would be for trouble to arise over misunderstanding, on the part of even an intelligent member of our race and an insolent and bulldoizing railroad employee, feeling his "superiority", because of his whiter cuticle, over this dual system on the part of a stranger from the North. For example, suppose while I was standing there awaiting my turn to board the train, thinking, as I did, that entrance was made by the same door as is the custom on the street cars, the brakeman who was "loading the passengers", noticing me, had said roughly or graffly, "Here, nigger", you go to the other end." I admit, that priest as I am and having schooled myself to control my temper—and I have plenty of it—I MIGHT NOT have done so. It is highly probable that I would have resented it and that would have meant trouble for it is an unpardonable sin for a colored man to "talk back" to a white man in the South. I can see how easy it is for a stranger to get into trouble in the South. Fortunately, nothing of this kind happened in my case. I was spared embarrassment by the cheery call of one of my fellow traveiers, "Come this way, reverend."
I followed him and entered our private car. This private car "For Colored" consisted of one half of a regular coach. I think it was the "smoker". This forward half was subdivided into two sections, one section being used as a smoker for the colored passengers and the other section for women and men who did not care to ride in the smoking compartment. There was a toilet for men in the smoking compartment and one for women in
NOTED SURGEONS OF PHILADELPHIA MAKE NEW HISTORY
First of Their Race to Conduct Clinic
In Great Medical Hospital at
The Pennsylvania
Capitol
ATTEND STATE CONVENTION
Newspapers Speak in Laudatory Terms of "The Amazing Skill of Colored Physicians And Specialists"
Harrisburg, June 8.—The proceedings of the State Convention of Colored Physicians, which closed its final session here last Saturday, will become a part of the extraordinary history of the colored people of the state as well as becoming an interesting page in the general medical history of Pennsylvania.
While the proceedings of the convention were of great concern to the medical world because of the technical matters discussed, and the plans adopted for the advancement of medical science, the most important of all things accomplished, however, by the colored physicians during their stay here were the operations performed at a clinic held by eminent colored physicians at the Harrisburg hospital. The clinic, which was held Friday morning from 8:30 to 12:00 noon.
the other section. This is the rule on the main lines of these roads, but on the branch lines, there is violation of this rule for modesty and decency by having a common toilet for both sexes. I noticed this on two branch lines from Hot Springs to Benton and from Benton to Pine Bluff.
There were ten of us passengers, all told, on "our private car", two women and eight men. The colored brakeman—not PORTER—but brakeman, the Rock Island has several colored brakemen on passenger trains on this line—rode in this car, and I found him an intelligent and well-informed man and also a manly fellow. He gave me a good deal of valuable information. This man's name is Henry Hite. His standing in seniority was number 23 on the Old Arkansas Division of the Rock Island. I learned from him that the rule of seniority obtains on this road and that on the Arkansas-Louisiana Division among the large number of brakemen employed, several of them—I have forgotten the number—are colored men, two of whom rank first and second in seniority and two others are well up on the list. The men standing first and second are A. O. Alexander who entered the service in 1900; and Richard Williams, 1903. The other two are Herman Cato, 1911, and Henry Hite, 1912. The wages and hours of black and white are equal. All are standardized.
One of my fellow passengers, whose name I recall, was Lemuel Simpson. He is a mechanic and was returning to spend the week end with his family. He was engaged on a building contract in some town north of Little Rock. I have forgotten the name. I found him a fine upstanding man of about thirty-five years of age, a member of a labor union. He told me that unionism in the South had learned the necessity and wisdom of recognizing the brother in black. His own experience was that the labor unions were disposed to be fair and he believed that it was to the advantage of the colored American to belong. The principles are right even though their application may not always be wise.
Two or three of the men were going to Hot Springs for the baths; another for a brief visit. They were all intelligent and well-behaved men. The two rough-looking fellows who put me on the right track seemed to be the least intelligent of the number; but they were not fools, by any manner of means, although their language was ungrammatical and their manners somewhat uncoath.
One of them seemed to be considerably concerned about the Kluxes. Some remark of mine elicited from him the troubled statement: "Look
marks an epoch in the medical circles of Harrisburg.
The entire surgical staff (all white) of the Harrisburg hospital and many other distinguished white physicians were present. The white nurses were particularly courteous in rendering service.
The local newspapers gave much space to what they chose to term "the amazing skill of colored physicians." The Harrisburg Telegraph said:
"Seven noted colored specialists from Philadelphia, who are attending the convention of Negro physicians in this city, conducted a clinic today at the Harrisburg hospital.
"The most interesting of the operations performed this morning was the introduction of the new LaForce method of removing tonsils. Dr. J. E. T. Oxley, noted colored physician of Harrisburg, supervisor of the clinic, stated that this new method is a marvelous step forward in medical science. The operation is made extremely simple. Little or no pain is experienced by the patient and dangerous after effects are practically eliminated. The operation can also be made in much shorter time.
"The Philadelphia physicians who operated this morning are: Dr. W. H. Barnes and Dr. G. G. Strickland, who performed four nose and throat operations together; Dr. G. E. Robinson and Dr. J. P. Turner, who made two successful general surgical operations, and Dr. C. F. Anderson, assisted by Dr. M. N. Pannell and Dr. DeHaven Hinkson, who performed a major abdominal operation."
out, reverend, what you says 'bout the Klu-Klux. They's a heap of 'em 'round these parts and they is mighty mean. You nevah knows when they're 'roun' and who they is, an' the's always tryin' to git somethin' on our folks. Be careful, what you says and where you say it. You ain't up in Nebraska."
"We have them up there, too, my friend, but nobody's afraid of them," I replied.
"Well, they're mighty down here, an' I wants to give 'em plenty room so they won't tech me, I'm tellin' it."
This was said by an unlettered man, representing a type of our people of which type there is a large number. I wondered how general was the concern about the Kluxies expressed by this man. I learned subsequently that among the intelligent class of our people they have as little fear of the Kluxies and as much contempt for their cowardly principles as our people have up here.
The train was bearing us through a beautiful country becoming more heavily wooded with graceful pines ermine-robed as we ascended towards Hot Springs. I had learned much of interest from my fellow-passengers representing different types of our people both by conversation and observation. The total sum gives a good balance on the credit side. This is clear from some things I learned from my fellow-passengers on my way from Little Rock to Hot Springs.

ALLEGED KLANSMEN MALTREAT BELL BOY ACTING NIGHT CLERN
Indiana Youth Showing Ability Had Been Employed to do Night Clerical Work in Hotel in Georgia
IS KIDNAPPED AND BEATEN
Cowardly Captors Threaten to Burn Him And Warn Him Never to Take Another White Man's
Waycross, Georgia, June 8.—John Carter, 22, a bellman, was taken from his home by three men who claimed they were members of the Kuklux Klan and they beat him almost into insensibility. Because they claimed he was serving in the capacity of a clerk at the Phoenix Hotel, Waycross, Ga., Carter, who is from Fort Wayne, Ind., and a very intelligent young man, had been working at the hotel for about five months as bellman. The hotel management, observing his unusual intelligence in matters pertaining to office work, allowed Carter to serve both as bellman and clerk after the white clerk left every night. This, apparently, was displeasing to some of the patrons of the hotel and they decided to get rid of Carter and he was thus abducted by the three white-robed men. Before the party reached the scene on the road where they were to show Carter how 'white men treat a Negro who served in the capacity of a white man.' they beat him with their fists and blackjacks.
Upon arriving at the fifteen mile post, they took the young man out of the car, beat him, tied his hands and feet together and then gathered some branches and prepared to make a fire in which they threatened to burn him. He begged not to be burned and upon his promise to leave Waycross they decided not to apply the match to him but warned him never again to take a "white man's job."
They jumped into their machines and left the young man in the woods. He managed to get back to Waycross and left on the first train. His head bears several scars from the black-jacks which the three men used on him and his body covered with welts from the sticks. Another indisputable reason why so many Negroes are leaving the South.

The Bishop Who Was Visiting South To Preach Baccalaurate Sermon "Insults" White Boy Station Porter at Warren, Ark.
Warren, Ark., June 8. (K. C. Call News Service)—Is it possible for a venerable bishop to "sass" a 20-year old youth?
This was the claim of a white mob which took Bishop P. A. Wallace from his stopping place, locked him up in the office of the Mayor, threatened him with gun and rope and struck him with a chair until town officials rescued him.
Bishop Wallace, whose home is in Brooklyn, New York, was on his way to Walters University here to deliver the baccalaurate sermon. Arriving in the station during the rain he took shelter inside awaiting the auto to take him to the school grounds.
At this point the 20-year old white station porter announced that it was time to close the station and "you dam niggers better take you baggage and get out." Bishop Wallace remonstrated with the youth and in reply received two blows from a stove poker and threats to "get you tonight."
Later in the evening the bishop was called from the house by an auto load of men looking for the "nigger who had an argument with a white man at the station." Bishop Wallace was locked up in the Mayor's office, and a man armed with a revolver was placed over him. Abused, threatened cursed and hit by a chair in the hands of this guard, the prelate was finally rescued by school authorities who had gotten the mayor out of bed.
Authorities refused to prosecute the porter or the members of the mob, on the ground that no Arkansas jury would believe the word of a black man against a white and if Bishop Wallace came to court with any charges he would probably be lynched.

A. VERITABLE flood of emigration
of our brethren from the South
is under way. They are leaving that
section by thousands. It is the too-
long delayed economic strike which
we trust will eventually bring that
fair section of our country to its
senses. Leading white newspapers of
the South are frankly confessing that
the South itself is to blame for the
exodus. They are calling upon the
thoughtful, broad-minded people of
that section to treat the Negro with
such justice and fairness that he will
remain where his affections are so
strongly centered. If this appeal be
heeded the exodus will eventually be
checked but now it is under way.
‘Thousands are coming north. This
lays a weighty responsibility upon
‘our race in these northern regions.
It is not only a responsibility but an
opportunity for rendering a great ser-
vice not only to our kinsmen in the
flesh, for they verily are our breth-
ren, but also to the nation and hu-
manity; for God has so willed it that
whatever affects one portion of hu-
manity, for weal or woe, affects all.
Emphasis of this truth and a full re-
alization of its full import would
‘make all men more considerate of the
rights of others, Whether we real-
ize it or not, and few of us do, it is
‘a fact nevertheless. Conditions be

with these newcomers and show your-
self friendly. If they move into your
neighborhood, don’t hold yourselt
aloof, but get acquainted. This is ar
individual duty. ‘The churches an¢

TRUTH FRACTURED
r appears to us that some person or
persons in high authority have
badly fractured the truth. Not long
ago President Harding gave out the
statemen tthat the United States Hos-
pital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee
would be completely manned by a
colored staff of physicians and sur-
geons, nurses and other skilled em-
ployees. This information was elicit-
led from President Harding after
widely-cireulated rumors to the ef-
fect that the chief positions were to
be given to white people and subor-
‘to nurse colored men, were to be ¢m
ployees. White nurses, whom it is
said the Alabama law will not allow
to nurse coolred men, were to be em-
ployed, and given “colored maids,”
presumably trained colored nurses,
who would do the work of “nursing
Negro veterans” while the white
nurses of course would receive the
larger emoluments. Such were the
statements made. They were consid-
ered sufficiently well-grounded to
raise a storm of protest from mem-
bers of our race, who rightly main-
tained that if the United States gov-
ernment insisted upon a segregated
hospital, then competent colored phy-
sicians and nurses should be given
employment therein. The white peo-
ple of Alabama insisted that whites
should be in charge of this “exclusive-
ly Negro hospital.” Notice this strange
inconsistency. But the administration
was placed between two fires. The
outcome of it was that the President
declared that “THE ENTIRE PER-
SONNEL OF THE HOSPITAL WiLL
BE COLORED.” This official —re-
lease was given to the press. Now
comes the information that the hos-
pital was opened May 20th with Col.
R. H. Stanley, a white army physician
of Greenville, Ala. a white staff and
colored nurses in charge. Wouldn't
thig seem to indicate that somebody
has badly fractured the truth?

< A Light Station, Heron Neck, Maine.
By JOHN OLIVER LA GORCE, Vice
President National Geographic
Society.
Realization of the great age of the
earth snd the long periods Involved
fm the birth of mountain ranges and
the disappearance of continents often
obscures the fuct that changes are tak-
Ing place rapidly enough actually to
be watched and measured. In places
the clock of geolozic the runs so fast,
im fact, that we may, ax Mt were, see
the minute hand moving upon the dial.
‘One of the most conspicuous places
by which to Mustrate this remark-
able condition is the coast-line of the
southeastern United States from the
Virginia capes to the Rio Grande.
Here, as along every other coast-line
on the face of the earth there is per-
petual warfare between the land and
the sea, with the wind as a shifting
ally, now throwing Its weight into the
baiance on the one side and now on
the other. Here the land is taking
the offensive, driving the sea back
foot by foot, always with the ald of
the wind; there the sea assumes the
offensive and eats its way landward
slowly and Inboriously, but none the
less successfully. The varying for-
tunes of this relentless and age-long
war, which nelther truce nor treaty
will ever bring to an end, can be read
tn the shifting sands of the seashore.
At many points along the coast of the
Rortheastern states are found bold
cliffs, and the chorging sea attacks
them with the shot and shell of loose
shingle, Some of them, however, are
adamant and impregnable in thelr
frontal fortifeations and hold out
against the sorest siege, but between
them have occurred ‘stretches of
softer rock which have been literally
pounded to dust by the ocean's heavy
artillery, thus permitting flank attacks
on the hitherto unconquered defenses
Along the southeastern const, how-
ever, the rock-hound cliff Is the excep-
tion ‘and the long stretches of glitter-
ing sand the rule. Here the sandy
beach reaches out farther and far-
ther into the sen, and the water Is
thus enabled to penetrate farther and
farther into the land, because the at-
tack of the sea Is usually a frontal
movement and that of the land fre-
quently a wedge attack; thus we can
account for the long, straight shore
fon the one hand and the spit on the
ether,
Cape Henry's Sand Dune.
Cape Henry, Virginia, where the
great Chesapeake bay empties Into the
Atlantic, is one of the most interest-
ing points along the South Atlantic
coast. It affords an excellent oppor-
tunity to study the battle royal be
tween the sen, the winds and the
sands, and it Is remarkable also for
the weird beauty of its storm-buffeted
beach, extending In broken masses of
‘sand as far us the eye can reach,
pleked out here and there along the
“Iand edge by gnarled and stunted
“trees, beach grasa and hardy shrubs,
which make a brave fight against the
" ever-eneroaching enems.
At Cape Henry in 1701 was erected
/ the first lighthouse built by the young
United States government. “After
many years of {althful service the an-
clent beacon: cave way to a more pre-
tentlous structure, which was erected
in 1881, hut the old lighthouse still
stands on its great hill of sand and
rock like a sentinel of # forgotten
army ready to spring to arms when
called.
Stretching inland behind the origt-
nal lighthouse is a great dune, or
rather « mountain of sund, which has
been the savings bank of the winds
for untold centuries, The dune ts
more than 100 feet high in many
places, and the great plateau on its
crest, stretching back into the country
for several miles, covers an area of
many acres. Slowly but surely the
great mass of sand crystals ix making
its way toward the interior, being
pushed back Inch hy Inch by the rest-
Jess wind, and it in mercilessly engulf-

warring.
Retreat of the Shore Line.
On the shore of Cape Cod, near
Chatham, the land is retreating at the
rate of m foot a year, and on the
southern shore of Martha's Vineyard
it Is giving up the fight to the enemy
at the rate of three feet every twelve
months, while on the southern face of
Nantucket the retreat has been as
much as six feet a yeur, the records
tell us,
From Portland, Me., to Cape Florida
there is a fairly well-connected bar-
rier of gand-reefs, all of them built up
by the sea and ite ally, the wind, from
the material pounded from the shore-
line by the waves, From Chesapeake
bay to Biscayne bay, Florida, a dis-
tance of 700 miles, there is a natural
rampart of sand so continuous, fenc-
ing such an unbroken series of lagoons
in from the sea, that It is possible to
make the entire Journey through In-
land waters without exposure to the
open sea.
In Its incessant warfare against the
Jand, the sen literally takes Its cap-
tured hosts and makes them do battle
under its command. The boulders
that are shattered from the face of a
cliff are dashed up against it again
and again, hammering others lowe.
the while being worn round and
smooth as the projectiles of big guns
must be. As the process goes on, these
huge shells are worn down and
crumbled untll there remains nothing
to tell the story of forced fighting
against their own stronghold save
grains of sand on some distant beach
or the soft carpet spread upon the
floor of the sea many fathoms deep.
‘The waves always find a most valu-
able ally in the wind while thelr work
of coast-line transformation goes on.
The possibilities of the wind as #
worker in conjunction with the waves
are revealed when we consider that
during a violent storm the alr may
hold In suspension as mnch a® 126,000
tons of sand to the cuble mile. ‘This
sand, driven hither and thither, finds
resting place somewhere, and that
resting place is usually a dune along
the shore.
How Sand Dunes Are Made.
A sand dune always has a humble
beginning. A plece of wreckage cast
up by the waves may start It, or any
sort of obstacle lying upon the shore
may cause It to come into being. Once
started, the dune becomes a trap to
catch sand In. It takes its toll of
every passing gust of wind, and thus
continues to grow and grow. Often
they keep advancing until they bury
orchards, forests, and even buildings,
like great drifts of snow. Along the
const of New Jersey one may see or-
chards which have been covered by
wind-blown sind within the memory
of man so that only the tops of the
trees now protrude above the surface.
It ts not exceptional to see a forest
Invaded and sometimes even complete.
ly buried. To watch the struggles of
the trees against their encroaching
enemy Is one of the most remarkable
sights of nature, As the sand rises
around thelr trunks new roots are put
out near the surface, and they con-
tinue to fight their battle month in
‘and month out, but generally they are
finally completely engulfed.
‘The alternating burial and resurrec-
tlon of forests is due mainly to the
tendency of sand dunes to migrate.
On Hatteras island, North Carolina,
the migration of a dune Iiteratly
robbed a cemetery of its dead, dashing
down the gravestones und exposing the
bones of the bodies buried there, says
Professor Cobb, an authority on the
subject of beach formations.
‘On the northern end of Hatteras
Island a fishing village has been com:
pletely buried, while the sand has en:
tirely crossed the Island at several
places north of Cape Hatteras. ‘This
movement of sand was started just
after the Civil war by the cutting of
trees for ship timbers, and, although
the section Is known today as the
Great Woods, there Is not a stick of
timber to be seen,

Under the careful supervision of Rev. W. Majors, the Bethel A. M. E. Church is undergoing a vast improvement and enlargement. A vestibule is being constructed with entrance fronting Sixteenth street instead of on Avenue A as formerly. The main floor of the Auditorium will remain the same width but will be twelve feet longer, affording ample space for 100 more seats. On the right of the rostrum will be the pastor's study and on the left the Choir room. Cathedral windows are to replace the obsolete frosted glass windows and will add greatly to the appearance of the structure. These windows are being donated by the citizens and members of the church and the window will bear the name of the person who donates it. Every effort is being made to make the church as beautiful as possible.
Rev. J. P. Jackson is keeping the beautiful church which he erected in excellent condition. The church is shining with a new coat of paint and bespoke of the welcoming extended to everyone by the cheerful little pastor who is always full of pep and willing to lend a helping hand. New drop lights have been installed which add to the beauty of the interior. Each fixture has one main bowl with three ornamental chandeleirets attached to the rim of the bowl. These are the prettiest and most attractive fixtures in any of the colored churches of the city. Both this church and the Bethel A. M. E. bespeak of a prosperous and progressive community.

DROPS $10 BILL IN DRUG STORE
Mrs. Fanny C. Phoenix, 1412 North Twenty-sixth street, had a prescription filled at Sherman & McConnell's drug store, Sixteenth and Harney streets, Monday. In paying for it she dropped a ten-dollar bill on the floor, but did not miss it until she reached home and had occasion to open her purse. She called up the store and reported her loss and was told that it had been found and that she could have it by calling at the store, which she promptly did.
GIVEN EMPLOYMENT THROUGH
COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB
Prof. A. W. Murrell of Tougailoo university, Tougailoo, Miss., arrived in the city Monday with five young men, students, who were seeking employment during their vacation. Through Mrs. Grace M. Hutten in charge of the Labor Bureau of the Colored Commercial Club all these young men were promptly placed in positions.

POLISH NATION HAS 27,000,000
Country Is Now Sixth in Population in Europe, According to Official Information.
New York.—The new republic of Poland, now in its fifth year, has a population of 27,160,163, and is the sixth nation in Europe, according to official information compiled by the Polish bureau of information.
"Its population is exceeded only by Russia, Germany, Great Britain, France and Italy," the statement says. "Poland has a population as large as Denmark, Holland, Belgium, Sweden, Norway and Switzerland combined."
Warsaw Has 941,000.
Warsaw's population is given as 941,001; Lodz, 451,444; Lemberg, 219,000; Cracow, 181,000; Posen, 169,000; Vilna (estimated), 146,000.
The republic has now been divided into 16 states or administrative units, called voyvodships. The city of Warsaw, however, as capital of the republic, is distinct from any voyvodship. After struggling with various boundary disputes on all sides, and emerging victorious from a war with Russia, Poland established her frontiers and then turned her attention to internal affairs. The first regular Polish parliament came into being November 27, 1922, succeeding the constituent assembly that had been organized as an emergency governing body early in 1919. During its life, the assembly enacted more than five hundred laws, including a constitution providing for a house of representatives elected by universal suffrage, and a senate elected in the same manner.
Economy was another far-reaching measure instituted by the new republic. During 1922, a reduction of 25,000 civilian employees was made in the various departments. Military affairs also were subjected to sweeping changes. A standing army of 25,000 was recommended, with compulsory military service of two years for all males reaching the age of twenty-one. Demonstrates Its Stability. The republic demonstrated its stability in December, 1922, following the assassination of President Nurutowicz, the first chief executive, after he had been in office but two days. In the absence of precedent, the leaders turned to the constitution for guidance. Four days after the assassination, an election was held and a new president took office in accordance with the expressed will of the people.
Chimneys an Old Institution.
It is said chimneys were first introduced into Great Britain in 1200, their use being confined to the kitchen and large hall. They were in general use in domestic architecture in 1310. How far the Greeks and Romans were acquainted with chimneys as we now know them is a matter of dispute. An ancient mosaic found in Algeria, representing a Roman country house, shows chimney stacks projecting above the roof.
