PRESIDENT HARDING PASSES AWAY RACE CORPORATION PLANS TO ORGANIZE KANSAS CITY BANK The Security Loan and Investment Association Believes Time Opportunity For Advance Step. STOCKHOLDERS FAVORABLE Loan Association Has Rendered Good Service to Working Class as Well as To Business Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 3. — The board of directors of the Security Loan and Investment Association, met sometime ago for the purpose of formulating some plan to take care of the housing conditions and the rapid growth of business among our group. They soon decided that the time was ripe for a Negro bank in Kansas City, while the company has now about $160,000.00 in assets, comprising real estate, loans and surplus money, giving it the quickest and surest way to achieve a bank "by our people, among our people and for our people." The directors of the Security Loan and Investment Association, finally agreed that a special meeting of the stockholders be called to vote upon a proposition of increasing the capital stock from $10,000 to $50,000, for the express purpose of creating enough surplus to establish a bank in Kansas City. The meeting was called and every stockholder present voted for the increased capital. The necessary papers have been filed and $40,000 of the increased capital is now on the market to be disposed of at $50.00 per share which can be bought on the installment plan, $10.00 down and $5.00 per month. Said a stockholder: "Of course some people are going to criticize a Negro bank and are going to say that it can't be done. Some said that the Security Loan Company would be a sure failure, but the achievements of the Security Company should be sufficient guarantee to the general public that it can be done whenever our people unite and put their forces together. The company has been a helping hand to the working man as well as the business man. It has saved many a home of our people from foreclosure. VETERANS' BUREAU HEAD INVESTIGATES SHEET LOANING TALE VETERANS' BUREAU HEAD INVESTIGATES SHEET LOANING TALE Dismissed Nurses Alleged To Have Proof of Truth of Charge Which Will Be Presented to Officials. CALHOUN IS ORDERED BACK Washington, August 3. — Director Hines of the Veterans' Bureau has begun an inquiry into charges that sheets belonging to the new Federal Hospital for Negro ex-service men at Tuskegee, Ala., were used by the Ku Klux Klan members in a demonstration against Tuskegee Negroes, July 3rd. Negro leaders here promise a sensation when they have finished presenting their case to the Director. Two suspended nurses of the Tuskegee hospital, Mrs. Evelyn Robinson of Philadelphia, and Miss Adella Woods of Norfolk, both Negroes, appeared at the Bureau recently with what purports to be a receipt received by hospital employees for the sheets later used as disguises by Klansmen. According to reports which have gained wide circulation among the Negroes, Klansmen visited the Tuskegee establishment and searched for John Calhoun, a Negro civil service employee, sent down from the North, whose life had been threatened unless he left town. Gen. Hines has informed the World that after personally investigating, he had ordered Calhoun back to Tuskegee. But Gen. Hines denied he had ordered a military guard for the man.

Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 3.—Dr. J. G. Shannon, superintendent of the Old City Hospital here and one of the most widely known physicians and most distinguished citizens of this city died Friday, July 20, after a protracted illness. Coming to Kansas City from Meharry Medical school, twenty-six years ago, his whole medical career has been passed in this city, where he was active in business affairs as well as in his chosen profession. He was one of the owners of the Peoples Drug Store, established in 1904, out of which has also come the S. P. L. M. Mercantile and Investment company, which owns considerable valuable real estate. The funeral, which was held from the Second Baptist church, Monday morning, July 23, was attended by more than 1,200. Eulogies were pronounced by many who knew and esteemed him. Dr. L. W. Booker has been appointed Dr. Shannon's successor as head of the Old City hospital. WEDDING BELLS TO RING The Pueblo papers are announcing the engagement of Mrs. Hattie Gardenhire of that city to Mr. Wm. S. Brown of 2616 Parker St., Omaha. Mr. Brown admits that there "may be" something to it, that he intended to motor to the western city about September 1, "just on a visit." But just the same the engagement ring "went forward" some time ago, and also he has purchased the modern Hickman home, 3216 Emmet street, a Ford car, and is about to select furniture, so why "soft peddle it"-Bro.

Greer, Leroy and Alonzo Jackson, (on truck); J owed to their fire and police department which is constantly on guard for the protection of life and property. Among Omaha's fire-fighting force it is not generally known that one of the best trained and dependable companies is Hose Company No. 11, located at Thirtieth and Spaulding streets. Its house is one of the neatest, best-equipped and most attractive in the entire department. In physique and appearance the members of the company are unsurpassed by any in the city. In proficiency and service they rank high. This company was organized twenty-five years ago. The men chiefly responsible for its organization were M. F. Singleton and the late George F. Franklin; George E. Collins; Dr. M. O. Ricketts, then a member of the state legnslature; and one or two others. The late Chris Hartmann, then a member of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners, was favorable to its organization and threw the weight of his influence into the movement. The company was first located in a frame building, long since displaced at Twenty-eighth and Leavenworth. Samuel G. Ernest was the first captain. Scott Jackson was driver. Twenty-three years ago the company was removed to its present location. It has had its trials and vicissitudes, but fortunately has weathered them all and is making good. Recently the "engine house" as it is called, has been remodelled and improved. The interior is artistically decorated in blue and ivory. The sleeping quarters are airy and attractive. Baths and shower baths contribute to the comfort of the men. A hose rack has been installed which permits the hose to be drained in stead of kept in coil. The members of the company are mighty proud of their fine quarters and take great pride in keeping them and the grounds as neat as a pin. The company numbers ten men, who work in two shifts of five each, alternating monthly into day and night shifts. The members of the company are James Greer, senior captain, who has been with the company for eighteen years, serving now his fourth year as captain; Charles C. Trent, appointed junior captain a year ago, has served sixteen years; Frank Stewart, appointed in 1919; William and Alonzo Jackson, appointed in 1911; Harry B. Lewis, appointed in 1913; Jewell Rose, and Winfred Melvin Freeman, appointed in 1919, Leroy Kelly, appointed in 1921, and Jasper Cole who is the "baby of the company," being appointed in 1922.

STANLEY STANDS SELF-STULTIFIED SHOULD BE SHUNTED National Advancement Association Asks President to Remove Alabama Man as Hospital Head. MAKES SERIOUS CHARGES Situation Called National Scandal In Letter to Chief Executive—Requests Restoration of Nurses. New York, Aug. 3.—Director General Hines, of the Veterans' Brueau, has been asked in a telegram sent by the National Association for the advancement of Colored People, to remove Colonel Robert H. Stanley, at present commanding the Government Hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee, Alabama. The demand follows disclosures of charges that Colonel Stanley had permitted the use of the Government Hospital supplies by the Ku Klux Klan, that he had failed to protect colored subordinates from the threats of mob violence, and that a number of colored nurses who it was feared might reveal conditions at the hospital, were summarily discharged without cause. A letter at President Harding calling the Tuskegee Hospital a "national scandal" and asking for a definite stand by the administration, supplements the telegram. The telegram sent to Director General Hines is as follows: "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asks that Colonel Robert H. Stanley be removed immediately from command of Government Hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee. Our request is based upon information on file in your office, establishing conclusively the failure of Col. Stanley as commander of the Hospital to protect Negro subordinates against mob threats; and showing that Col. Stanley tolerated, if he did not actually connive at Ku Klux invasion of the Hospital and use of Hospital supplies; further that Negro nurses have been summarily discharged without cause. We ask the reinstatement of the three nurses removed without cause. Many other acts of discrimination are indicated, as to which a number of white doctors of Col. Stanley's staff are ready and willing to testify."

WHOLE NATION IN MOURNING Entire Country Sincerely Mourns Sudden Passing of Harding—Vice-President Succeeds. San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 5.—Warren G. Harding died suddenly at 7:30 Thursday night while his wife was reading to him. His death was due to apoplexy, following an illness which overtook him just one week ago and compelled him to cancel all engagements, and from which it was believed he was recovering. Warren G. Harding was elected president of the United States, Nov. 2, 1920, by the largest majority ever given any candidate. He was born on a farm belonging to his grandfather, Charles Harding, an Ohio pioneer, November 2, 1865. He was reared at Marion, Ohio, where he made his home and worked on a newspaper, subsequently buying one and after a hard struggle making it a success. In 1900 he was elected to the Ohio state senate. He was candidate for governor in 1910 but was defeated. In 1914 he was elected United States senator. He was nominated for the presidency at the Republican national convention in June, 1920. As president in the trying period of reconstruction he has been faced with serious problems. THE COUNTRY SINCERELY MOURNS. (EDITORIAL) AMERICA mourns the death of her most illustrious son. She sheds tears of heartfelt sorrow for our president has been called with a suddenness that has shocked the entire world. Although the carefully guarded statement of his physician that "barring unseen developments the president is on the way to recovery," should have prepared the country for the sad news, there was a general feeling that he was on the road to health. It was not, however, to be so. His work was done. His arduous duties and heavy responsibilities as the chief executive of this great nation had undermined his rugged constitution and suddenly while his devoted wife was reading to him his soul took its flight. His death comes as a personal loss to all Americans, for say what one will, the President of the United States, is for each one of us "Our President," and the national sorrow at his passing is sincere and heartfelt. That he was desirous to do his duty, none will deny. That he was a patriotic, God-fearing man who strove to love mercy, do justly and walk humbly with his God, all who have followed his career will cheerfully concede. Opinion as to the wisdom and success of his administration will doubtless differ, but as to his sincerity and conscientious devotion to duty there will be a unanimity of sentiment. Warren Gamaliel Harding, the twenty ninth president of the United States, who died at San Francisco, Thursday night, August 1, 1923, will long be cherished in the hearts of the American people to whose interests he was devoted.

The wisdom displayed in doing this now will become more and more apparent as the population grows. The parks are enjoyed without let or hindrance by all citizens. This is as it should be. The public playgrounds, in the parks, and in detached sections of the city are enjoyed by all Omaha children. Public playgrounds, wisely supervised, are among the best investments the city can make for future citizenship. There are two sections of Omaha in playgrounds are needed. One is in the southern section in the vicinity of Thirteenth and Bancroft, or somewhere in that section where there is a large congested population, with a generous progeny. The other is in the northern section, say within a radius of ten blocks of Twenty-fourth and Franklin. Within this territory there are within more children than in any other section of the city. Some years ago elaborate plans were drawn for a park and public playground between Twenty-first and Twenty-second streets and Nicholas to Seward. For some reason the plan fell though. The Monitor would suggest that efforts be made to secure the large vacant tract of land between Paul and Seward, commonly known as the circus ground and convert it into a playground for this section. It is used very largely now for baseball games and seems to be a logical site. Either this or some other suitable tract within the radius suggested should be secured for a supervised public playground to be used by all the children within this district. We believe that if the citizens go after it in earnest such a playground can be secured. Get busy.

States government how it shall conduct the government hospital for Negro veterans at Tuskegee, the more ridiculous the attitude of the United States officials appears. Instead of "requesting" the "committee of three white citizens of Tuskegee" to "reconsider its proposals," Director Hines of the Veterans Bureau, who is in charge of this matter should tell them to go to the place where those who hate their fellow men, if Holy Writ is to be believed, will have their portion and place. DISMISS STANLEY STANLEY should be removed without delay from the headship of the Veterans' hospital. He has shown himself absolutely unworthy of the position. The allegation that he personally handed the Ku Klux Klan note to John Callhoun, threatening his life, on the night of the Klan parade and declined to assign him quarters has not been denied. The summary dismissal of two nurses who alleged that sheets from the hospital were used as disguises by Klansmen in the parade does not help his case. Other alleged acts upon his part are by no means complimentary to him. There are high-class white Southern gentlemen who could and would fill this office with justice, fairness and ability, but, if apparently well-authenticated reports are to be believed, Dr Stanley does not belong to that class. His apparent sympathy, if not actual connection with the Kluxies, if there were no other disqualifications should be sufficient to cause his removal. Stanley should be dismissed without delay. "THE NATION" QUOTES MONITOR TO be quoted by such national publications as The Literary Digest and The Nation of New York is an honor which any weekly publication covets. The Monitor has had this distinction. It shows that publications of high standing are reading and taking note of what race publications say.

FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAN HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) LITTLE IO OF ANCIENT GREECE If you were to tell a student of the classics that Mr. Zeus, the boss god of the Greeks, had a shady complexion, the chances are he or she would throw a fit and call you Anianas. Howsomever, if you study the classics with your eyes open and your think machinery oilled, you will soon realize that there was hardly anything else but. Take the story of little Io, frn'in-instance. She was a little brown skin scream and so pretty that she was made a priestess at the shrine of Hera. It was there that old Zeus, the head gazabo of the deities, lamped the little checker and fell for her. It wasn't long before his wife found out why he stayed away of nights and one morning when he came home all lit up with nectar, she met him with a rolling pin a la Maggie Jiggs. Zeus felt that little Io wasn't safe, so he turned her into a beautiful white cow. But wifey was wise and made him give her the cow for a wedding anniversary present. Then she set the hundred eyed Argus to watch the cow. Thereupon Zeus hired Hermes to slay the Argus, and set little Io free. But wifey was wide awake. She sent a gadfly to torment Io and she was so tormented that she wandered all over the world to escape. These wanderings of Io were classic among the ancients and the tales of her adventures were told to the little kidlets thousands of years after Io was dead and the gods busted up. It was on these wanderings that she ran into Prometheus, the chap who was chained to the rocks for playing a joke on the big boss. Io was just about ready to jump off a cliff when Prometheus saw her and begged her not to do it. He said that his mother had told him that Io was to bear a son whose descendants would one day unchain him from the rock. So little Io changed her mind and went to Egypt where the magicians changed her back to a pretty little girl. Then she married and had a little black baby whom she named Enaphus. Of him Aeschylus, the great Greek dramatist says, "he was touch born, and swarthy of hue." In other words, he was some colored, as it were. (Next week, "Brother Euclid of Egypt.") Mrs. Lealia Montgomery, 2712 North Twenty-sixth street, left Thursday evening for Mobile, Ala., to visit her father. Enroute she will stop in St. Louis to visit a close personal friend of the family, Mrs. Spratt. ORIGIN of the NAMES of the STATES THE MONITOR PART I (Prepared by the National Geographic So- clety, Washington, D. C.) To all Americans the origin of the names of our states should prove an interesting subject, and from it no small amount of history and geography is to be learned. It is, however, a more complicated subject to trace than the origin of the nomenclature of European states, which, for the most part, bear names derived simply from the ancient tribes by which they were formerly inhabited. Of our 48 states, we find that 25 bear names of Indian origin, while 12 are English, six Spanish, three French, and two bear names that must be considered, from a historical standpoint, American. Considering the states with English names first, the origin of most of these will be familiar to us from our studies in American colonial history. The first of these is New Hampshire, the original territory of which was conveyed by a patent of the Plymouth company to John Mason in 1629 and named by him for the English county of Hampshire. When the Dutch navigator Adrian Block sailed into Narransaget bay, about 1614, he encountered an island of fiery aspect, due to the red clay in some portions of its shores. He called it Roode Eylandt (Red Island), and the surrounding country received its name from that of the island. The English settlers, who, with Roger Williams at their head, received a charter for this region from the English Crown in 1644, Anglicized the name, making it Rhode Island. There is a theory, also, that our smallest state was named after the Island of Rhodes, in the Mediterranean, but it is difficult to substantiate this claim, as the two localities in no way resemble one another. The Empire State, New York, as is well known, was originally called New Netherlands, while the city was known as New Amsterdam. But when the colony was taken over by the English, in 1664, the names of both were changed to New York, not, as might be supposed, after the city of York, England, but in honor of Charles II's brother, the Duke of York, afterward James II of England, to whom the grant was made. The duke, in turn, transferred the southern portion of his grant to Sir George Carteret, who settled there and named the country after the Channel isle of Jersey, which place he had bravely defended against the parliamentary forces in the English Civil war. Only One Namir for its Founder. Charles II of England, the "Merry Monarch," spent so much of his country's funds on pleasure that state debts often remained unpaid. One of these was for salary to one Sir William Penn, one of the lords of the admiralty, who, on his death, bequeathed the claim, which amounted to some 16,000 pounds, to his son, William Penn, a Quaker. The latter agreed to accept a land grant from the crown in exchange for the debt. Penn wanted to call this land "Sylvania" on account of its vast forests, but the king insisted that the founder's name be incorporated in that of the colony, and thus it is as Pennsylvania, literally "Penn's woods," that the Keystone state is known to us today. It is the only state named for its founder Our second smallest state, Delaware, bears the name of Lord de la Warr, first governor and captain-general of Virginia, who in 1630 went on an exploring expedition in the bay and river after which the state is named. The first English Roman Catholic settlement in America was made in Maryland, in 1634, and this colony, by the way, was the first to extend religious toleration to all. It was named after the queen of Charles I, Henrietta Maria, who was the daughter of Henry of Navarre and was of the Roman Catholic faith. The strong tendency of the earlier English settlers to perpetuate English royal names in their settlements is indicative of their loyalty to the crown and is further illustrated in the names of the Virginias, the Carolinas and Georgia. The first of these was named by Sir Walter Raleigh for Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen, who was on the throne of England when the first settlements were attempted, in 1585. When the state of West Virginia was formed, in 1863, it was first proposed to call it "Kanawha," after one of its rivers, and much regret has been voiced that this fine old Indian name was not adopted. Confusion About the Carolinas. There has been some confusion as to which King Charles the Carolinas were named for. In 1560 Jean Ribaut, a French explorer, named this region after Charles IX of France. The name, however, did not come into general use and for a time disappeared. About 1630 the country was referred to as Carolina in some English state papers, and it was considered to have been so named after Charles I of England, but it was not until 1633 that the name Carolina was definitely applied to this section by the lords proprietor, who had re- Many are showing their appreciation for the Monitor by sending in their subscriptions.

Georgia was named by and for King George II of England, and the colony was referred to under this name in the charter which that monarch granted to General Oglethorpe, the founder, in 1732. Of the three states bearing French names, the origin of one is doubtful. This small number is out of proportion to the extent of French explorations, evidence of which can be gained from the trail of French place-names from the mouth of the St. Lawrence to New Orleans. Vermont was first explored by Samuel de Champlain in 1609 and was so named by him after its Green Mountains (Vert Mont), which are the dominating natural feature of the state. The generally accepted version of the origin of the name of Maine is that it was so called by some early French explorers after the French province of that name, wherein was located the private estate of Henrietta Marin, wife of Charles I of England. There is another meaning ascribed to the name, fairly well supported by authorities. According to this version, the fishermen on the islands along the coast of Maine always referred to that region as the "Mayn land," and in support of this theory we find the colony referred to in a grant of Charles I to Sir Fernando Gorges in 1639 as "the province or county of Mayne." Louisiana for Louis XIV. The third state name of name of origin is that of Louisiana, so called in honor of Louis XIV. The name was first applied in 1683 by the daring French explorer, La Salle, who employed it to indicate the vast territory watered by the Mississippi and its tributaries. Permanent Spanish settlements within the present boundaries of the United States were made earlier than those of any other country and they were numerous. As a result, we have six states bearing names of Spanish origin, and in them and their neighbors we find a large number of town and county names from this tongue. The first state to bear a Spanish name was Florida, which was discovered by Ponce de Leon on Easter Sunday, 1512. Two theories exist regarding the origin of the name. One refers to the Spanish term, Pasum Florida (Easter Sunday—literally, "Feast of the Flowers"), having reference to the flowers with which the churches in Spain are decorated on that day. In view of the day on which the discovery was made, this is probably the correct explanation of the origin. The second theory is that Ponce de Leon simply used the word "Florida," meaning "flowery," from the aspect of the country. The other Spanish-named states lie in the Far West. Any one who has seen the snow-clad peaks of Nevada can well appreciate the descriptive word, "Snowy." While not explored or colonized by Spaniards, Montana bears a Spanish (some say Latin) name. This large state's giant ranges and cordilleras make its name, which means "Mountainous," singularly appropriate. Colorado was probably named from the river, although only its tributaries flow through the state. The word is Spanish for "red" in the sense of "ruddy," and may come from the color of the stream at some places. Then, again, it is possible that the state was named from the red earth of some regions which were settled in the early days. Capturing Elephants How are elephants captured for the circuses of the United States and other countries? An English traveler describes the method. First, the wild elephant herd must be sighted in the wilderness of India. Then a regiment of Indian soldiers surrounds the herd keeping fires burning all around the big animals. A stockade is built of stout posts, and leading from the stockade is erected a narrow lane, which spreads out at the opening. The posts of this lane must be hidden with green foliage and vines. The herd is now driven toward the jaws of this lane by the soldiers, who yell and screech, and build fires directly behind the moving mass. The elephants, or some of them, enter the stockade, the rope that holds the gate is cut, and the animals are imprisoned. Riders on tame elephants then tie them with ropes. Like Father, Like Son. "Do look at the way baby is working his mouth," exclaimed young Mrs Scrappington. "See! Now he proposes to put his foot in it." "Mm!" said her husband grumply "Heredity! That's what I did when I proposed." — Boston Evening Transcript. Unnatural. Dauber-What you mean by saying my picture isn't true to life?

VETERAN OMAHA ATTORNEY GIVES INTERESTING STORY OF EXTENSIVE TRIP Omaha, July 30, 1923. Editor Monitor:—I am delighted to respond to your request for a few lines to the Monitor concerning my recent trip from the Missouri river to the Atlantic ocean, and from New York to Lookout Mountain in Tennessee. You may not believe it, but it is nevertheless true that during my residence in Omaha of forty-three years I have seldom been out of it, my responsibilities, domestically and professionally requiring my presence here. So on June 4th our children (eight of them), realizing our long struggle, paid our way on this trip as a surprise to my wife and me, and without any solicitation on our part. So that on June 4th we left Omaha, direct for Chicago, remaining at Sterling, Ill., for five days to visit my daughter's husband's family, thence to Detroit, Michigan, where we visited the Ford Auto factory, thence on Lake Erie to Buffalo, N.Y., by boat, thence to Holyoke, Massachusetts, where we remained with my sister and brother for four weeks, thence to New York, where we remained for four days with Mr. Morris' family of Council Bluffs, Iowa, and who constructed the Brooklyn bridge. Thence to Washington, D.C., where we observed every matter worthy of observation in the National Capital, thence to Norfolk, Va., bv boat, thence to Knoxville, Tenn., the place of my birth, where we remained for fifteen days visiting cousins. While there I visited the Knoxville colored college, a creditable college to any race in America. I was delighted to see it and its extended improvements, as in July, 1870, I stood beside it, when the first stone was laid in its foundation. Oh, what a pleasure this was to me to see this lovely structure after so many years. Knoxville, Tennessee, has grown during the past thirty years surpris- ```markdown ``` 100 THE MONITOR ingly. During that period of time it has grown from a city of 25,000 to its present population of 100,000. All of the former suburbs have been annexed to the original city. It has become a lively and progressive city. It is a city where the colored race are numerous and well to do. I met one of my old-time colored friends who, when I first knew him forty-two years ago, was a poor boy; today he owns one of the finest business blocks in that city, worth $70,000. It is located on the spot where I was born on Gray street. While there I visited the old farm on Beaver Creek on which our family lived when I was a boy. There I met Chas. Long, a colored man, whom my father had reared from boyhood, the one whom the Ku Klux's caused father to part with or suffer death. He was overjoyed to meet me, threw his arms around me as lovingly as if I were his brother. He has raised a large, creditable family and is well to do financially. I was horrified to behold in this city for five consecutive nights, on a hill within the city limits, a lighted cross 6 feet high, erected and cared for by the Ku Klux Klan, called the fiery cross — this the knowledge of the county and city officials. Leaving Knoxville we remained at Chattanooga, Tennessee. There we viewed the old battle grounds, also ascending Lookout Mountain, also Signal Mountain, where we slept all night, thence home through Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Kansas, Missouri and Iowa, to dear old Nebraska, arriving here July 26. And of Nebraska I may sing: Nebraska land, Nebraska land. I love your waving fields; Nebraska land, Nebraska land. I love your golden yields. It matters not where I may be, What foreign fields I roam, You'll always be most dear to me I love you, 'cause you're home. ED. F. MOREARTY. SURPRISE PARTY GIVEN BY HUSBANDS OF MEMBERS OF ELITE WHIST CLUE The members of the Elite Whist Club were given a surprise party by their husbands Thursday evening, July 26th, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James C. Donley. How the surprise feature could be accomplished was long discussed. Miss Edna M. Stratton, the North Side "Y" secretary was prevailed upon to assemble the members at the Y. W. C. A. building and later convey them to the appointed place. This she did by a fine stratagem. She invited the members of the club to meet "A Friend." While Miss Stratton went to the station for her "guest," who was not expected, the club members assembled, and were received by their president who was at the "Y" early to act as hostess for the secretary. The "Friend" did not come and an auto ride was suggested by the pseudo hostess. When the members were in the autos, they were driven to the Donley residence, where their husbands, in seclusion, awaited them. Upon their arrival, group photographs were taken, afterward they dined, then played whist. Upon the conclusion of the games, each club member and each woman guest was presented a berry spoon, and the club was presented a book, "The Gist of Whist." Several instrumental and one vocal number were given, the latter by Miss Stratton. Those attending the surprise were: Mrs. Alexander Tillery of Chicago, Ill. Miss Edna M. Stratton, guests; Messrs. Clarence Desdunes and H. W. Black, substitutes, and the following members and their husbands: Mrs. Dan Desdunes and Mrs. William Murphy; Messrs. and Mesdames E. R. West, Jasper Brown, George Watson, Augustus Hicks, Charles Seymour, Charles Solomon, T. P. Mahammitt, H. J. Pinkett, M. Nate Hunter and Mr. James C. Donley. ENTERTAINS FOR DAUGHTER Hillcrest, the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Jones, was the scene of a delightful social function Monday, when Mrs. Jones held a reception between the hours of 4 and 8, for her daughter, Mrs. W. B. Reed of Denver, Colo. In the receiving line with Mrs. Jones and her daughter were Mesdames Austen Serrant and James W. Madden of Chicago, and Ray Gibson of Tacoma, Wash., young matrons and former Omaha girls, here visiting parents and relatives. Assisting through the rooms were Mesdames Aaron Bowler, J. Alice Stewart, H. J. Pinkett and T. P. Mahammitt. The refreshments were served by the following girls: Florence Jones, Helen Redd, Ernestine Singleton, Melva McCaw, Constance Singleton, Ruth Pegg, Dorothy and Elizabeth Allen, Margaret Murray and Cleota King. The house was artistically decorated with palms, terns and garden flowers. About two hundred guests called during the receiving hours.

M. E. church before a well-pleased audience Wednesday night. A varied program was given which included simple numbers by the younger pupils to classical selections by the older and more advanced ones. Taken all in all, the age of the participants and the time of their studying being taken in consideration, the recital was most creditable and deserves warm commendation. Many of the numbers were excellently rendered. The orchestral selections were especially good. One criticism to be made of some of the solo work is that the selections were too advanced for the pupils attempting them. The pupils participating were Harry Anderson, Olive Jackson, Harold Washington, Archie Ray, Sidney Rucker, Leonard Britt, Bill Peebles, Eugene Smith Verney Johnson, Forest Perkins, Basil Vann, Margaret Dallas and Louis Burnette. The pianists, and there work was good, were Hauel Roulette, Gretchen Cash, Juanita Cook, Inez Battles, Elaine Smith, Lucy May Allen, Charlotte Maddox and Aline Burnette.

News that a group of "leading citizens" resent President Harding's order that Negro doctors, dietitians, dentists and X-ray specialists attend the Negro ex-service men to be cared for in the new Federal hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama, is surprising. In another mood these Southernists hade the Negro serve himself and passed a law prohibiting the attendance of white nurses upon Negro patients. Can it be that the hysterical delicacy of the white man has been calmed by the dollar sign? The United States Treasury allotted $2,250,000 to the hospital. The physician in charge is to receive $10,000 per year, according to the Omaha, Nebraska, Monitor, and will supervise a yearly budget of $1,250,000. The Atlanta Independent (colored) says: "In every matter pertaining to the hospital, the white man has had only one point in view, the economic end." He is also consumed with fear—not physical fear of shell-shocked Negroes, but fear of any change in the status of the races, fear of the spectacle of trained Negroes successfully treating 600 Negro patients. On July 3rd hooded Klansmen paraded the streets of Tuskegee as a silent threat. The Montgomery Advertiser helped fan the flames by announcing, as if it were predicting, that "there has been no overt act, no clash as yet, between the races." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has telegraphed President Harding asking that troops be sent to protect the colored doctors and Major R. R. Moton, successor to Booker T. Washington, whose life has been threatened by masked mobs. Some members of the Tuskegee staff have already fled North. Will the South still deny its own responsibility for the northward exodus of self-respecting Negroes?—The Nation, July 17. Not Really a Pine Tree. Not really a Pine Tree. Although the kauri tree is often called kauri pine, it is a native of New Zealand and is not of the family to which spruce, bemlock and pine belong. The trees sometimes attain a height of 150 feet and are often used for masts for British ships. The timber is close-grained, durable and flexible, and used for nearly all kinds of building, while kauri resin or gum is valued for its use in making varnishes. Wealth in the Blind. It is the mind that makes us rich and happy, in what conditions we are, and money signifies no more so than it does to the gods.—Somera. PILGRIM BAPTIS TCHURCH Rev. Wm. Franklin, Pastor Sunday morning there was a large congregation present and the services were most inspiring. The evening was given over to the instructive pageant demonstrating the spirit of the Y. W. C. A. The pageant was written by Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson and was well presented by the respective characters which were as follows: "The Community." Miss Gertrude Lucas; "Y. W. C. A." Mrs. Janie Johnson; "Membership," Mrs. S. L. Craig; "Indifference," Mrs. Mabel Johnson; "Criticism," Mrs. J. A. Newby; "Antagonism," Mrs. A. L. Hawkins; "Christianity," Mrs. Fay Bruce; "Fellowship," Mrs. Alberta Turner; "Appreciation," Mrs. M. H. Wilkinson. A capacity house witnessed the production and an offering was taken for the "Y." H. J. Pinkett was called upon to express the appreciation of the audience for the production. He urged co-operation with the "Y." Miss Edna M. Stratton, secretary, thanked the pastor and congregation for the hospitality extended and for the donation. The monthly conference Wednesday night was largely attended and was highly inspirational. It was decided to hold a rally Sunday., Aug. 19, at which time there will be a contest between the men and the congregation. Mr. A. R. Goodlett will be leader of the men and Mrs. A. W. Anderson of the women. Every member is asked to give $1.00 on that day, the goal being $7,500. Preparations are being perfected for our chautaqua which will open Tuesday, August 14.
