LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy WHITE AMERICANS CARRY PREJUDICES TO FOREIGN LANDS Attempt to Impose Their Silly Practices Upon Foreigners Who Indignantly Resent Them FRANCE ISSUES STATEMENT Will Follow Her Usual Custom and Protect Black Citizens Against Discrimination Urged By Tourists Paris, July 19.—Following incidents wherein American tourists in Paris have taken offense at the presence of Negroes in cafes or on sightseeing cars, Premier Poincaré, under pressure from Negro members of the chamber of deputies, has agreed to request the American government; through the ambassador at Washington, to endeavor to explain to Americans touring France that France's Negro citizens enjoy the same rights as the whites in every respect and will be protected by law against discriminator. The government intends to issue an official statement to the French people and to visiting foreigners on the subject, particularly with a view to preventing unpleasant incidents. As the number of Negroes in France is insignificant and the French people have no race prejudices it is feared that in case of a dispute in some public place between a French Negro and an American the crowd would side with the Negro. The French people will be warned that they must not discriminate against the Negroes, however much the visiting American may protest. A cafe proprietor who recently forced the departure of a Negro customer at the request of an American customer will be punished by the police closing his establishment for eight days. Diagne has called attention to the fact that several black Frenchmen, college-bred gentlemen, "who exposed their lives for the defence of France," have recently been subjected to indignities at the behest of American tourists. "While we do not approve of their treatment of their black compatriots in the United States, that is a matter with which we have no right to interfere. We have no such custom here. A Frenchman is a Frenchman, and good taste would dictate that these Americans respect the customs of our country." CHURCH LEADERS RISE TO TUSKEGEE'S DEFENSE Threatened Interference with Institution Would be Lasting Disgrace Say Methodists South. Lake Junalaska, N. C., July 27. (Special)—The Social Service Commission of the Methodist Episcopal Church South, in annual session here last week, gave out a statement expressing appreciation of Tuskegee Institute and declaring that any interference with the institution would be a "lasting disgrace to Southern civilization." The statement which was given wide publicity by the Associated Press, was as follows: "Inasmuch as there has come to us through reliable newspaper reports and private sources of undoubted reliability information that the interests of the great institution for colored people at Tuskegee, Ala., are seriously menaced by threats of organized interference, "Resolved, that this Commission put on record our appreciation of the incalculable value of that institution for the training of our colored fellow citizens, and declare our unalterable conviction that any invasion of its rights or interference with the orderly pursuit of its lawful and benevolent labors would be a calamity to the institution and a lasting disgrace to our Southern civilization. The act of the Commission of which Bishop James Cannon, Jr., is chairman, was called forth by the recent parade of the Ku Klux Klan at Tuskegee and by other efforts to intimidate the Institute, because of its supposed attitude in teh controversy relative to the new government hospital for colored veterans. The statement is considered very significant as representing the leadership of one of the greatest Southern denominations, with a membership of 2,500,000. It indicates the prevailing attitude of the best people of the South toward Tuskegee and other Negro institutions. ELECTROCUTED FOR CRIME Columbus, S. C., July 27.—George Allen, slayer of Cecil Hale, a white man from Anderson county, was electrocuted at the state prison here. The execution was witnessed by the widow of the victim. THE MONITOR ROMAN CENTRAL JC SPEAK FOR VORS TIAL PRIESTS Races are Converted Normally and Most Successfully Only Under Leadership of Their Own URGENT CALL FOR WORKERS New York City, July 27.—Right Reverend John E. Burke, director general of the Catholic Board of Mission work among colored people, preached a sermon here at the ordination of Father Joseph A. John, recently elevated to the priesthood at St. Benedicts Church. The director said that no nation or race had ever been converted except by its own leaders. "Gratitude and thanksgiving," he said, "are in our hearts today. You all know that I have been for years and years a staunch advocate of the necessity of colored priests in the United States. "We who are working among the eleven million colored people in the United States are planting the seeds. Thank God we can already see consoling results. I believe the harvest is to come from the colored priests in the United States. We need colored priests. We need colored Sisters, and thanks be to God, they are coming. Obstacles must be overcome, and prejudices must die." Declaring that "the white race has not the monopoly of the benefits of the Redepmition—the grace of God can work in the soul of a black man as efficaciously as it can in the soul of a white man," he urged all present to "agitate in prayer for colored vocations. Agitate among yourselves that the idea may spread. Agitate by co-operating with those who have taken up the work of educating young colored men and girls for the priesthood and Sisterhood. FINANCIAL DRIVE FOR OLD FOLKS HOME IS NOW UNDER WAY Enthusiastic Meeting Endorses Campaign for Funds for Purchasing New Building for Worthy Institution—Let's All Help! Last Sunday afternoon a mass meeting was held at Zion Baptist church to open the campaign for funds for the new Old Folks Home which the Negro Women's Christian Association is purchasing at 923 North Twenty-fifth street. Owing largely to the intense heat the attendance was not large, numbering less than 100 persons. What the meeting lacked in numbers was made up by the enthusiasm which prevailed. M. F. Singleton presided. Several of the local ministers present made brief addresses commending the movement and pledging their support. Those who did this were the Rev. Messrs. Botts, Divers, Talyor, Burckhardt, Adams, W. C. Williams and John Albert Williams. Mrs. Martha Taylor Smith, president of the Home, spoke briefly of the organization, work and plans of this commendable charity and Mrs. James G. Jewell outlined the well-planned drive. Pledges aggregating $260 were made, a portion of which was paid in cash. The total cost of the property which consists of a beautiful, well-built, modern twelve-room residence is $8,000. Upon this a payment of $500 has been made giving the Association an option which expires August 22, by which time $2,500 more is to be paid. This Special Financial Drive which began July 22 and ends August 22 is to secure at least this amount. With Omaha's colored population which numbers fully 14,000, there is no reason why the whole $8,000 should be raised within the thirty days set. The plan is to get every member of the race in this community to give something if it is only 25 cents towards this worthy cause. Let those who can give large contributions, and let those who can only give small ones do that and the money will be raised. $10,000 BRIDAL GIFT Chicago, July 27.—Mrs. Nora Douglass-Holt who will be married to Joseph L. Ray at Bethelhem, Pa., July 29th will receive $10,000 worth of preferred, Class A., securities of the United States Steel Corporation as a gift from the groom. Mrs. Holt's first husband was a successful business man of Chicago, owning the majority of the stock in the Liberty Life Insurance Company. Ray is often referred to as "the right-hand man" of Charles Schwab, the steel king. 809.886 IN CUBA Havana, Cuba, July 27.—The report of the dircector of the national census, made public today, gives Cuba a population of 3,123,040; 1,133,936 are whites and 899,886 colored. Added to these were 118,084 immigrants. There were 722,000 colored people in Cuba in 1919. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

SAY KU KLUX KLAN USED HOSPITAL SHEETS New York City, July 27.—According to reports reaching here from various sources it is charged that sheets from the store-room of the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., were used as uniforms in a Ku Klux Klan anti-Negro demonstration there on July 3. It is further charged that the white persons connected with the Hospital entertained the members of the Klan paraders at supper in the Hospital after the demonstration. These charges were made by the N. A. A. C. P. following an investigation by special agents from that association. According to the report submitted by the investigators the sheets afterward were found to bear dust and automobile grease, and other evidence to show to what use they had been put. "GET WORD TO ALL THE BOYS THAT WE WANT THEM TO COME" The Omaha Elks who are planning for a monster picnic for all Omaha boys between the ages of 6 to 16 at Elmwood Park, Saturday, August 4, are anxious to have all boys know that they are wanted and welcome. Mr. C. M. Fixa, of the Merchants' National Bank, who is treasurer of the Omaha Lodge, and like the rest of the committee, working like beavers under the chairmanship of Dr. Ford, said to The Monitor, Monday, "Get word to all the boys you can that we want them to come." Last year 6,000 boys were guests of the Omaha Elks. This year they want 20,000. RESUMES FORMER BUSINESS Mr. J. Bernstein, former proprietor of the popular Department Store, 1805 North Twenty-fourth street, who a few months ago sold out his business, has repurchased it and is doing business at the old stand where he will be pleased to renew acquaintance with his many old customers and a large number of new ones. He is one of the few North Twenty-fourth street merchants who believe in advertising in our newspapers. FORMER FLOGGERS FIND FIERGE FORMS FOR FORCING FEAR Prutal Road Bosses Forbidden by Law to Flog Prisoners Resort to Other Methods of "SWEATBOX" REPLACES LASH Punishment of White Unfortunates Differs from That of Blacks Who Are Exposed to Cocoa, Fla., July 27.—Bosses of convict labor gangs, denied the right to use the lash since the death of Martin Tabert caused the Florida legislature to pass an anti-whipping law, have obtained new expedients to enforce obedience from their charges. The "sweat box" is the new method of torture for white prisoners who are striped road workers, while the Negro convicts, on the same sort of work, are given an even more cruel type of punishment. Convict guards from all parts of the state are reported to have complained to the state authorities that since Governor Hardee signed the anti-whipping act, it has been almost impossible to force convicts to labor on the roads. They contend that, lacking the whip, they are unable to subdue the insubordination among road gangs all over the state. At a convict camp on a state road which is being pushed through the slim-bordered swamps and the live oak hummocks of Brevard county, there were seven "sweat boxes" and all of them were occupied at some time or other. Pictufe a plain wooden box, made out of rough pine lumber. It is just high enough for a medium sized man, and not wide enough to permit a man to sit down or bend over. A fraction of an inch separates one's head from the roof, perhaps there is not even this much space. The roof itself is the crowning touch. It is made of galvanized iron. There are no windows in the box, and the only fresh air, when the door is closed, is that which seeps through the cracks and crevices. The "sweat box" is trundled out under the broiling sun, and the recalcitrant convict is made to enter it. A pint bottle of water and a portion of bread is placed on the floor. The inmate can reach it, if at all, only by the most trying efforts. When a man is released his clothes usually drip with perspiration and his face, bloated and red, shows the agonies he has undergone. In the Negro camps the disobedient convicts are given short shrift. When a convict says he is unable to work—and illness is not accepted as an excuse either from whites or blacks—he is stripped to the waist, handcuffed to a pine tree, and so placed that his bare back receives the full force of the sun's rays. Swarms of mosquitoes and other insects abound during the summer months along the flat, swampy lands of the east coast, and the Negro is the prey to these insects. Not a man is said to have been able to stand the torture for more than a half hour. With the abolition of the convict lease system, however, it is expected that not nearly so many arrests, as occurred in the past, will be made for petty offenses and consequently only desperate and unruly convicts will have to undergo the tortures of the "sweat box" and the bare back mosquito sessions.

Whole Number 420 LARGE SHORTAGE OF WELL QUALIFIED MEN FOR MINISTRP Annual Demand For Pastors For Work Among Race in United States Requires Over 1500 Men FEW ARE COLLEGE TRAINED. Washington, D. C., July 27.-The demand for colored ministers of the Gospel in the United States is 1,500 a year, according to statistics collected today, by Howard University under the supervision of the Department of the Interior. Last year less than 100 colored men graduated from any kind of training school in the country for preachers and of this number less than 10 were college graduates. The average training of the other 90 for the colored ministry was about one and one-half years of grade school work. There are about 50,000 colored churches of all denominations in the U. S. Shortage of preachers is illustrated by the fact that there is one white minister to every 389 white people, most of the latter being graduated from theological institutions. Howard University is one of the few colleges in the country maintaining a school of religion for colored people, the number of graduates averaging between 5 and 10 a year. At the present time this school of religion receives no appropriations from the Government. RACE FIRE OPENS GROCERY STORE ON NO.

WORRIED SELF TO DEATH Washington, July 27.—Because she studied hard but received marks so low that there was little likelihood of her being appointed a teacher in the local schools, Miss Audrey C. Wooden, 933 R street, June graduate of the Normal School, is said to have worried herself to death. Dr. S. S. Thompson's certificate of death states that she died of acute dilation of the heart caused by worry. FIELD SECRETARY VISITS CITY Mrs. E. E. Whitefield of Washington, D.

GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 4 COLOR CLAUSE TO BE STRICKEN FROM MARRIAGE MEASURE Objectionable Provision Which in Effect Would Encourage Concubinage Meets Defeat WOMEN LEAD IN OPPOSITION Federation of Colored Women's Clubs Again Demonstrate Their Efficiency and Ability Washington, D. C., July 27.—The active and organized protests of the colored men and women of the country, backed by numerous other organizations have won the day in the fight to eliminate the color clause from the proposed national marriage and divorce bill. Led by the Federation of Colored Women's Club, groups of women from all over the country began piling up letters of protest upon the desk of Senator Capper, the junior member from Kansas, who is said to have expressed his amazement at the effective working of their organization and to have predicted "that if similar efficiency were exercised in the same unselfish way" most any legislation desired by the colored people could be secured. The bill which Senator Capper introduced last session was prepared by an attorney for the American Federation of Women's Clubs, white, and contained the following objectionable clause: "No license to marry will be issued where applicants are members of different races that is to say no marriage between members of the white and black races or of the white and yellow races, shall be valid." While Southern sentiment supported the clause, the bill it is said was prepared by a woman attorney in Indiana, the State which first sponsored the measure. Senator Capper will re-introduce the bill at the coming session of Congress, but during the recess of Congress he has been able to get a line on the reaction from the various sources so that amendments will likely be proposed to meet the majority of opinion as he finds it. There is considerable sentiment among members of Congress in favor of some such measures to eliminate conflicts in marriage and divorce laws of different states which now lead to many marital entanglements and much embarrassment especially in property distribution. In a letter to friends here this week Senator Capper takes the position that it is needless to go out of his way to offend the Negro population of the country in declaring the social line since marriage between whites and blacks is not forbidden in most of the States. OPENS PRINTING SHOP Herman J. Ford has opened a printing shop at 1423 North Twenty-Fourth street. Mr. Ford is a native of Houston, Texas, and learned his trade at Tus- kegee Institute.

THE CHRISTIAN MINISTRY AMONG the news items published in this issue are two articles which make similar appeals. One is from the view point of the Roman Catholic Church; the other is from that of the Protestant bodies. Each, however, stresses the need of candidates for the Christian ministry. The Roman communion has been very slow to try to encourage vocation to the priesthood among colored Americans belonging to that faith; not more than six or seven of our group having been ordained in nearly a century and a half. It is, therefore, somewhat of an innovation, albeit a praiseworthy one, for this historic communion to call at attention to the fact, as Monsignor Bourke has done in a recent sermon, that vocation to the priesthood and to sisterhoods should be encouraged by the 'Roman Catholic Church. How far the veils of the Director General of Missions among Negroes represent those of the hierarchy presents an interesting question. We venture the opinion however, that his is simply a 'voice in the wilderness.' That voice proclaims the right message. Evangelization and spiritual leadership normally come from people of like nativity. That the Roman communion, or at least influential members of that communion, are beginning to recognize this need in its work among colored folk in the United States is quite significant. With this is the acknowledgement that there is a dearth of men for the priesthood. The other article is from the Protestant viewpoint and states that the supply of well-trained men for the Christian Ministry is far below the demand, and calls attention to the fact that far too few college trained young men of iur race are offering themselves for the ministry. This is undoubtedly to be regretted. The Christian Ministry offers a splendid field for helpful service and the need for consecrated well-trained spiritual leaders among our race, should enlist the very best and most virile of our young manhood.—It is rather significant that both Romanist and Protestant should at this time call attention to the need of men for the ministry.

AMERICANS' BAD MANNERS IT is to be keenly regretted that a certain class of white Americans wherever they go try to spread the slimy poison of race prejudice. It is not the well-bred American who does this, but the snob, and the sad truth is that such a large number of Americans are snobs. They have acquired some money, without taking on the culture of genteel breeding which should accompany wealth, and fearful lest the public will size them up at their current value, they effect many foolish airs, chief of which seems to be the privilege of trying to show their superiority to people of a different color. Wherever the average white American goes he carries his detestable and silly race prejudice France and other European countries are feeling this baneful spirit France is meeting it in the right spirit and telling America that French citizens of color will be protected against discrimination. It is bad enough for Americans to show bad manners and ill-breeding at home. When they go to foreign countries they should have better sense than to carry it there. O MINUS O EQUALS O WHENEVER a Kluxie is caught with the goods on him, he immediately attempts to prove an alibi. But a Kluxie is not to be believed upon oath, because he does not regard the sacredness of an oath, outside of the Klan. In Klanology, the only MEMBER of the Klan, is the Klan Kleagle. He is a MEMBER. The others are INITIATES. One's name may be on the roster, and he may have been "Naturalized" and paid his "donation," and yet swear upon a stack of Bibles "That I am not now and never have been a member of the Ku Klux Klan." He is only an "INITIATE," don't you see? And the difference between a "MEMBER" and an "INITIATE" is the difference between Tweedle-de-dum and Tweedle-de-de and so your Klux salves his conscience with this apparently clever but transparently clumsy subterrue.

PERSEUS OF ARGUS Whenever you make up a list of the chocolate heroes of yesterday, don't forget Mr. Perseus, the brown skin Beau Brummel who had Zeus for his father and Danaea, a descendent of old Egypt for his mama. Danaea was some doll and so pretty that Kink Polyductes of Seriphus fell in love with her and wanted to consult a preacher. Neither Danaea nor Perseus liked the idea of mother being Poly's sweet cooky, but Poly figured that if he could ease Perseus into the discard, everything would be peaches. So Poly told Perseus to go and bring him the head of Miss Medusa, one of the three hard boiled Gorgon sisters, and that if he did the world was his. Perseus didn't know any more about the hangout of Miss Medusa than a polar bear knows about the price of Nebraska corn, but he was game and started. The gods and goddesses were with the kid, so Mercury, the god's office boy, stole him a pair of winged sandals, a magic wallet, a large curved razor and the helmet of Pluto. When Mis Minerva, one of the society dames, took a few of her friends and went with Perseus to show him the way. Miss Medusa, the lady of the snakly looks, was asleep when the party arrived. Without even introducing himself, Perseus borrowed the lady's head, put it in the magic wallet and started home. On his way back he passed thru Ethiopia and there found a princess, Andromeda, chained to a rock to make a dinner for a sea monster. Of course Perseus fell in love with her and stuck around until the monster blew up for his dinner. Just as he appeared, Perseus showed him the head of snaky locks and turned him into a concrete statue. Then Perseus married the little Ethiopian girl and carried her home to mama. As he entered the cabaret of Kink Polydecates, the kink was so surprised that he made a break for Perseus with a desire to harpoon him. But sonny was too quick. Out came Medusa's head and the kink and all his court were made into statues for the Seriphus museum. Of course this tale is some yarn sure enough, but it goes to prove that all those heroes and heroines of old Greece were rather shady when it comes to complexion.

(Prepared by the National Geographic Bo- tance by the banks of the clay, Washington, D.C.) The rival of Panama when both regions were dependent, on railroads as connecting links between the Atlantic and the Pacific, Mexico's Isthmus of Tehuantepec is not so important now that the canal is in operation. But its well-constructed, standard-gauge railroad is still carrying on its concentrated transcontinental way some of the goods of the world when quickness of shipment is the chief consideration and a steamer trip of a thousand or so miles is worth eliminating. Cortez, conqueror of Mexico, was the first man to have the idea that the Isthmus of Tehuantepec might solve the problem of a passage between the oceans. Even in the midst of his busy life as warrior and governor he attempted to find a way across, and explored the Coatzacalcoes river to its headwaters. He did not find a water passage across the divide, of course, but he realized that some day commerce would pass through this relatively low, narrow region, and he asked the king of Spain for a grant of lands in the Isthmus. The request was granted, and a few years ago his descendants still held the lands. Baron Alexander von Humboldt, who traveled in Mexico in the beginning of the last century, saw at once the importance of the Isthmus of Tehuantepec and called it "the bridge of the world's commerce." Half a century ago the first attempts were made to dig a canal, and many railroad schemes were proposed from time to time, including a "ship railway" for the transportation of vessels. The first work on a railroad was undertaken by the Mexican government in 1882, but it was not until 1907 that the Tehuantepec railroad was formally opened, after a succession of failures and after years of unremitting labor. The road as it now exists is a well constructed line about 120 miles long. It is in fair condition even after years of revolution and instability in Mexico. Salina Cruz, the Pacific terminal, was given excellent modern port facilities by the Diaz regime, and became in fact probably the best port on the Mexican west coast. The latest loading and unloading machinery was installed. Puerto Mexico, at the Atlantic end of the railroad, had in the mouth of the Coatzacoalcos river an excellent natural harbor. Great Oil Field There. Along the Coatzacoalcos river is a Mexican oil field rivaling that of Tampico. Derricks pierce the sky on every hand and the bustie about wells, and loading tankers gives an unexpected Yankee touch to his once sleepy tropical region. Before the days of the pioneer and forest roads, the Coatzacoalcos river (the river of the Winding Snake), emptying into the Gulf of Mexico, was the favored highway, and dug-outs poled by dusky natives carried freight and a few passengers up and down the river and its tributaries. Here and there a narrow mule path trailing away from the banks of the river marked the entrance to some lonely plantations or village. Today, however, the new stands side by side with the old. Fine steel boats run on the river, but the native still poles up and down in his dug-out canoe. Good roads and mule paths have been made from one plantation to another, but the old-time or carts have not yet been discarded. The town of Coatzacoalcos, at the mouth of the great river, has undergone the greatest change. Once a veritable fever hole, it is now rapidly being modernized and brought into some semblance of sanitation. Long wharves jut out from the water front, and fireproof warghouses and electric cranes give to the town a business-like appearance. From Coatzacoalcos the road gradually begins to climb the Cordillera, which divides the gulf slope from that of the Pacific. Much of the route lies through wild and beautiful country, with tall manaca palms (Attalea cohune) and forest trees topping a thickly-matted jungle, and here and there a quaint little Indian village on the banks of a shaded, shallow river.

Here the little Indian village of years ago has given place to a new town, built on higher ground and dotted here and there with comfortable bungalows, the homes of English residents. Flerce "northers" rage on the lismus the greater part of the year, and the long swell of the Pacific causes a heavy surf. As no natural shelter exists, it was found necessary to build one—an outer refuge harbor, and an inner harbor with dry-dock and wharves. The country through which the railway runs is in many respects of great interest. The tropical nature, the many different tribes of Indians living along the rivers and in the hills, their peculiar customs and picturesque garb furnish an interesting study. The different Indians today inhabiting the isthmus, descendants of once powerful tribes, still show enough distinctive characteristics to enable one to judge of their ancestors. The Agaluculos, Aztecs. Huaves, Mijes, Zapotecos and Zoques are among these. The Agualulcos and Aztecs dwell in the northern part of the isthmus. Though outwardly conforming to the Catholic religion, they still retain many of their old customs and superstititions. Among these Indians the memory of Dona Marina, or Malinche, as the Indians called her, is still revered. Although acting as interpreter and guide to Cortez, she seems to have been greatly beloved by the Indians. The Mijes live in the mountains to the west, in the town of San Juan Guicichcv. They are exceedingly ignorant, bold, and rather repulsive in appearance. History classes them as having been at one time the most brutal and idolatrous of all the isthmus tribes. The Miles Covet Mules. The greatest ambition of a Mije is to possess more mules than his neighbor. Just why is hard to understand, as they prefer to carry their burdens on their own backs. They get good crops of maize, beans, and rice from their milpas, which are well taken care of, but they work fitfully, are great drunkards, and very dishonest. The Zoques, who live in the mountains between the Chichijapa valley and the Rio del Corte, are, like the Mijes, very fond of tequila, the native alcohol, but more industrious and of a more pleasing appearance. The Huave tribe, now dwindled to a thousand or two, live in a few towns on the Pacific coast. They are very different from the other tribes, and claim to be descended from a powerful tribe in Peru. The Zapatote, who inhabit the greater part of the southern division of the isthmus, are hard working, genie tie, and intelligent, and at one time were a highly cultured nation. The various Indian languages are now little else than ill-spoken dialects pieced out with Spanish words and sentences. Somewhat below medium height, the Indians possess unusual muscular strength. They are often able to carry for several hours on their shoulders, under the rays of the tropical sun, caroes weighing from 100 to 200 pounds. The women are gracefully built, and in some tribes remarkably beautiful. This is especially true of the Tehua women. Their statety carriage, regular features, and beautiful soft brown eyes, added to their fascinating costumes, mark them with distinction and irresistible charm. They wear the usual Indian corte, or enagua derolada (rolled skirt), which is nothing more or less than a straight piece of cotton cloth, generally one meter wide and two meters long, dyed red, blue, purple, or a checked red and white; a short chemise, or coton, sleeveless and with a low neck, coming just to the waistline. It is made of cotton material in different colors or of velvet, and shows to great advantage the tawny, perfectly formed arms and shoulders. The crowning touch, however, is their headdress. Shaped somewhat like a short Japanese kimono, with a wide flounce of starched and plaited white cotton lace, it is thrown over the head so that the stiffened lacey flounce stands out about the face like a fanned-shaped frame. The rest of the garment plus hangs ignominiously down the neck. H. A. CHILES & CO.

Many people thint that birds dive directly on to the ‘sl, they wish to capture, but if they did so they would probably be killed.

Russel Taylor, Pastor. It is the purpose of the pastor al St. Paul's to keep before his people ‘questions of vital importance. He feels called to. diseuss fearlessly the ‘matters that make for racial as well as individual betterment. The king: dom of heaven at hand is what he de- ‘sires this generation to be interested in more than the pearly gates above and the golden streets up there. In keeping with this thought, and in view of the fact that homicides are becoming so common—ot the tact that ‘at the very hours the pastors of the churches are proclaiming the truths of God’s word, almost in front of the door of the church some life is being taken, the sermon topic Sunday morn- ing will be, “Thou Shalt Not Kill”. ‘There was a commendable incréase in the attendance at the evening serv- ices Sunday and the discussion was interesting. The topic next Sunday evening will be: “Why Do We Believe That Jesus Christ 1s the Son of God?” Jobn 20:24-31, ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Dr. W. F. Botts, Pastor.

Chinn of Carrolton, Mo., will be the speaker at the morning and evening services. Good educative programs will be ‘given each day and evening and spec- mens from every line of business con- dneted by our own race will be ex- hibited throughout the entire week. Don’t fail to attend! EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF ST. PHILIP THE DEACON The annual parish picnic held last Thursday afternoon at Elmwood park was a largely attended and delightful affair.

WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY Summertime Spendthrifiness A PRODIGAL WASTE of money in the summertime is proverbial among colored people. Oh! when the sun shines on both sides of the streets, what do some of us care about jobs or anything else? But it should be borne in mind that the extravagance of the summer must be paid for in the cold of approaching winter. Few of us can forget the story of the grasshopper and the ant. When the winter pressed the grasshopper to starvation he visited the ant in quest of food. But the industrious little ant asked him what had he been doing all the summer. Whereupon the grass- hopper said that he had been dancing and singing the whole summer long. The ant informed the grasshopper that he had been at work laying up something for the rainy days and the cold wintertime . Now, said he, go and sing and dance! In other words, the ant did not give his distressful begging a passing notice. With lots of our people, the sum- mer is only a time in which to dance and sing. They forget that all over these fields where the royal violets and the wild flowers are blooming, that the killing snow and ice will hold complete and undisputed control. Of course we do not need to burn coal now, but we need to buy it now owe may have it to burn in the coming winter. Of course we do not need to buy so many heavy clothing now to wear in summer, but we will need. them only in a very short while. ) Let us cut down on so many auto- mobile sprees to the country and joy- riding in the summer. The Ten Dol- lars spent this week in mere pleasure riding could put a ton of coal in the cellar. The money spent carelessly on a day's questionable excursion tc some summer place, could keep one from having to be a beggar and bor- rower next winter. Think on these things! Let us put on the brakes. Winter, in spite of the present heat is just around the corner—Saint Luke's Herald, Richmond, Va. Titian Home as « Monument.
