PRESIDENT COOLIDGE FAVORS FEDERAL LAW FOR THE SUPPRESSION OF MOB VIOLENCE LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy PRESID STOREY SHOWS SIGNS OF SOUND SENTIMENT ON RACIAL JUSITCE President of National Association Sends Encouraging Message to Fourteenth Annual Conference MUCH BEEN ACCOMPLISHER Progress Shown in the Arousing of American Conscience Through Which Redress of Wrongs Will Come Kansas City, Kans., Aug. 31.—Moorfield Storey, of Boston, ex-president of the American Bar Association, and now president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has sent a message of greeting to the Advancement Association in its Fourteenth Annual Conference here, which was publicly read at the opening mass meeting, Wednesday night, August 29. In his message, Mr. Storey said the inter-racial committees throughout the South showed that the consciences of white people were being roused against the ill-treatment of Negroes. The defeat of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill in the last Congress by the filibuster of southern senators was an admission, said Mr. Storey, that the crime of lynching was a southern one. Mr. Storey's message in full is as follows: "I am sorry that I cannot meet you face to face and in person offer you my congratulations on the successful year that has passed since our last meeting, and the prospects of assured and complete success that awaits us. "It is true that the Anti-Lynching Bill was defeated in the Senate by the refusal of southern senators to allow it even to be considered. This was an admission that lynching was a southern crime which they could not defend, and would not even discuss, but the vote in the House of Representatives, the strong backing from powerful influences all over the country, the signatures of governors and leading citizens, and the vote of conventions and legislatures were in themselves a success, for they showed what our agitation had accomplished in creating public opinion. "The results of the election in northern states showed what our votes can accomplish, and made us a recognized power which can not be trifled with. Our success in the last election points the way for our future action. "The inter-racial organizations in the southern states show that the consciences of people, who have probably long felt that the colored people in their various neighborhoods were ill-treated, but have been silent, are at last aroused to action, and this is most important for till the people's conscience is aroused, nothing is really accomplished." "The Ku Klux Klan, calling itself a purely American society and organized to use lawless methods for accomplishing its ends, is on the defensive, and in the nature of things cannot endure. "Our various branches have accomplished brilliant results in various cases which they have undertaken and the association as a whole is recognized and respected as a force which is working for good. "The road before us is long and difficult, but look backward for a moment and see how much longer and harder is the road which has been traveled in the last sixty years. Then look forward again with fresh courage and pledge yourselves never to admit defeat but to press on till every vestige of race discrimination has disappeared, and the Negro citizens of this great country are in fact, as they are now in law, the unquestioned equals of every other American citizen." CALLS ON THE PRESIDENT Washington, Aug. 31.—W. H. Lewis, of Boston, assistant attorney general under President Taft, called upon President Coolidge last week. Mr. Lewis was the first colored man named to the position of assistant attorney-general. He was a delegate to the republican national convention in 1920 and attended Amherst College with Mr. Coolidge. THE MONITOR FRANCE BANS "BIRTH OF NATION" French Prohibit Showing of Vicious Film as Negroes Show Resentment (Crusader Service) Paris, Aug. 31.—Because feelings of French Negroes are been outraged by the barbarities of Americans, who resented their presence in restaurants and bars, the showing of D. W. Griffith's film, "The Birth of a Nation", has been prohibited by the police. The censor passed on the picture favorably twelve days ago, but it is understood the police ban has been clapped on as a concession to France's Negro population. Premier Poincare himself has officially recognized their complaints by publishing a general warning to Americans that the equal rights of French Negroes must be respected. The attempt to "put over" "The Birth of a Nation" upon the French public is another of a long series of determined attempts being made by white Americans to impose their color prejudices upon the people of Europe. These attempts, backed as they are on several occasions by American officials, give the average European the impression of a war being fought out over the breadth and length of Europe between the United States of America and the Negro race. NEWSLETS The lull in lynching activities for the state of Georgia became spirited last week when three colored men were hanged and two flogged. Hon. Oliver Randolph, a successful colored lawyer of Newark, N. J., has been named Assistant U. S. District Attorney in that state. Felix Randolph, a colroed man, "sassed" Roy Toney, white, and paid the penalty of being shot to death. His body was thrown into the river. The Baptists proposed to erect a theological seminary for colored people at Nashville, Tenn., but the white people successfully protested against the project. Statistical reports of the Supreme Lodge of Colored Pythians, which met last week in New York, showed a membership of 300,000 and realty holdings throughout the country valued at $2,017,000. Speaking at Atlantic City, Congressman L. C. Dyer of Missouri, author of the Dyer Bill, declared that upward of 4000 colored citizens had been lynched in the South in thirty-five years. Colored farmers near Greensboro, N. C., have been granted extensive credits by the Federal Farm Loan Board for the purpose of improving their farms and purchasing new equipment. Bertram Hodges, fifteen-year-old, recently arrived with his parents, migrating from Georgia, received a prize from a Phialdelphia daily paper for the brightest answer to a want-ad query. W. B. Butler, prominent in democratic circles, who killed William Freeman and fatally injured Mary Lou Gamble, both colored, at Fayetteville, Ala., was held under bond for carrying concealed weapons. The Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias, meeting in New York last week, was insulted by the refusal of Tammany Hall to permit the thousands attending to pitch a camp in the suburbs. The local committee lost $4,000 in preparing the camp. COLORED WOMAN STUDENT OF VOTER'S PROBLEMS (From Clinton, Ia., Morning Journal).

AND MRS. J. R. HERNDON. MR. AND MRS. R. G. TRENT. ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED Mrs. Isabelle Nance Crouch entertained twelve young ladies at her home Monday evening, at which time she announced the engagement of her daughter Blanche Zelle Nance to Mr. Z. W.

The young couple will be married in Chicago early in September. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, AUGUST 31, 1923 CLAIMS DETECTIVE ASSAULTED HIM William Smith Shows Monitor Swollen Jaws the Result of Blows from Flists of Burly Police Officer BRUTALITY IS UNJUSTIFIED William Smith, 1506 South Twenty-second street, who claims to be thirty years old, but who is quite small of stature and looks like a youth of sixteen, visited the editor of the Monitor Sunday morning and showed him two badly swollen jaws which he said were the result of blows struck him without provocation by one of the city detectives Saturday afternoon about half past three o'clock at the corner of Thirteenth and Pacific streets. According to Smith's story, which The Monitor has since verified by witnesses interviewed, he was standing on the corner in question with a radio set in his hand, talking to two boys, Clany and Ural Lee of Thirteenth and Mason street, when two plain clothes men said to be Detectives Aughe and Frank, unobserved, came up behind him and one of them seizing him by the arm accused him of stealing a radio set and trying to sell it to a boy. This Smith, who makes radio sets, denied. The officers said their informant was a woman. Upon Smith's denial one of the detectives, "the older man with gold teeth", as Smith described him, struck him several heavy blows on the jaw. He was then taken to the police station, but no charges were filed against him, as the desk sergeant or chief detective told the men to take him to his home at 1506 South Twenty-second street, and if he was lying about making radio sets they could find it out. They took him to his home where they were shown his tools and uncompleted radio sets and were evidently satisfied. The brutality practiced upon Smith was damnably cowardly and unjustifiable as he is a mere boy in stature, and, even if he had been insolent to the officers, which it is claimed he was not, they would have had no right to strike him. The Monitor advised Smith to be sure of the identity of the man who struck him and file charges against him. Cases of this kind should not be permitted to drop or go by default. BISHOP SHAYLER WILL CONFIRM CLASS SUNDAY The Rt. Rev. Ernest Vincent Shayler, D. D., bishop of Nebraska, will visit the Church of St. Philip the Deacon Sunday morning at 11 o'clock to administer the sacrament of Holy Confirmation. This will be the second class presented this year. Evening services will be resumed Sunday at 8 o'clock. RETURN FROM GRAND LODGE Mrs. Lavinia Rose and Miss Jennie Hieronymous, delegates from the Leona Burton Royal House and Aksarben Temple, returned home Sunday from attending the Grand Lodge of U. B. F. and S. M. T., held at Jefferson City, Mo. They reported a pleasant trip and a fine session. VISITS COLLEGE FRIENDS Dr. Joseph C. Dancy of Washington, D. C., son of the late John C. Dancy, late registrar of the United States treasury, en route to California for his health, has been an Omaha visitor for several days. Dr. Dancy is very favorably impressed with Omaha. He was a fellow student at the University of Pittsburgh, of which he is a graduate, with William G. Haynes and Ellsworth P. Pryor, of this city. Mrs. J. W. Gatus, 2731 Caldwell street, entertained at a delightful birthday party in honor of her mother, Mrs. Elmira Owens of Ft. Duorquin, III, who is her guest, on Wednesday afternoon. A feature of the party was a white birthday cake, upon which were placed seventy-six pink and white candles which was brought in while the guests were being served. The guest of honor was made very happy by many gifts of flowers and other tokens. About twenty ladies were present. ST. PAUL PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-fifth and Seward Streets. Russel Taylor, Pastor. Services Sunday were unusually good. It so happened that a goodly representation of those who are in the railway service were in. Dr. W. H. Kearns, synodical superintendent of missions and executive secretary of the New Era movement, preached a very helpful sermon which was enjoyed by all. Saturday afternoon, Mrs. Mattie Johnson, superintendent of the Sunday school, and Mrs. Taylor, superintendent of the primary department, picnicked with the children in Elmwood park. The children certainly enjoyed their play and bountiful luncheon. The pastor will have for his morning topic, "The Toilers". Sunday evening is the regular monthly consecration meeting for the Endeavorers. The topic and Scripture are interesting, "Lessons from the Psalms—A Singing Psalm". Psalm 96:1-13. We have made a decided step forward in attendance at our evening services. Let's keep it up! Mrs. C. Rector of Little Rock, Ark., arrived in the city Sunday to visit her daughter, Mrs. W. E. Davis, of the South Side. ERAL MOE RAL LAW MOB VI SAYS FRANCE WILL MAKE NO RACE DISTINCTIONS French Professor Declares Country Owes Debt of Gratitude to Loyal Black Defenders Williamstown, Mass., August 31. Speaking at the Institute of Politics here, Professor Cru, in answer to certain remarks by Count Kessler, emphasized that France owed a great debt of gratitude to her African troops and would make no distinction between colored and other troops. Count Kessler had stated his belief that France started the new armament race. In spite of France's diminishing population, he said. France had colonial reserves of men that were increasing fast. Epen if France reduced her metropolitan army she always had the means of retaining the largest military force in the world. Count Kessler did not object to black troops as such. From all he heard they behaved no worse in Germany than white troops. What he wanted to bring out was the development of France's reserve of manpower in African troops. COLORED ASSISTANT CITY ARCHITECT Pittsburgh, Pa., Aug. 31.—Mayor Magee has appointed Louis A. R. Bellinger as assistant to the city architect. Mr. Bellinger is a college graduate and is a regular practicing architect and one of the few Negroes of the country who is registered to practice under rigid state laws. His appointment is merted because of his splendid ability and fitness for the position. NEW YORK COLORED MAN GETS FEDERAL APPOINTMENT New York, Aug. 31.—Paul W. Henderson, Assistant Postmaster-General directing head of the Railway Mail Service, has appointed Samuel Lee, a colored railway mail clerk, as supervisor of the New York terminal of the Pennsylvania railroad. The commission making Mr. Lee supervisor was brought to New York by John D. Gatrey, assistant chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service, who is a colored man, recently raised from the ranks of the service to the high position that he now holds. CAPTAIN TRENT OF FIRE DEPARTMENT DIES SUDDENLY The community was startled Saturday afternoon by the sad news of the sudden death of Charles C. Trent, junior captain of Hose Company No. 11 Omaha Fire Department. Captain Trent who had been on night duty this month was in good spirits and apparently in good health, with the exception of what he considered a slight cold contracted at a fire Thursday night, when he went home Saturday morning. About 2 o'cock in the afternoon he became quite ill, medical aid was summoned and he was rushed to Paxton Memorial hospital, where he expired almost as soon as he reached there from cerebral apoplexy. Captain Trent was 49 years old. He was born at Dalton, Mo., and had been a resident of Omaha for twenty-five years and a member of the Fire Department for sixteen. He is survived by a widow, a brother, a sister and other relatives. The funeral was held Wednesday afternoon from Zion Baptist church under the auspices of Rescue Lodge A. F. and A. M. No. 4. Rev. W. F. Bottis officially. RETURNS TO HOME IN TULSA Mrs. M. E. Dane of Tulsa, Okla., who has been the guest of her son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. R. Parker, 1104 North Twenty-second street, for the past month, has returned to her home in Oklahoma.

She has since rebuilt it and is getting on nicely. ning Mrs. Grace Morris Hutten, who has been appointed a government teacher in Porto Rico, will leave Omaha Monday for New York, whence she will sail Thursday, September 6 on the San Lorenzo. Her many friends wish her bon voyage. --- GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 9 N OLENCE MULTIPLYING MOBS MENACING COUNTRY MOVE COOLIDGE Ku Klux Klan and Flogging Outbreaks Cause Chief Executive to Consider Federal Anti- Mob Law 2 MORE LYNCHED. GEORGIA Martial Law Suggested by Governor Disturbances Continue in Oklahoma and Washington, D. C., Aug. 31.—Continuing outbreaks of mob violence in 5 states have caused the Coolidge administration to consider legislation making such offenses a crime against the government. Here is the tenor of dispatches which reached the President's desk this week: GEORGIA—Two colored men, Lee Green and Aaron Harris, hanged and riddled by mobs on trivial charges. Three Hudson brothers, white, arrested near Macon charged with flogging colored men. They are thought to be part of a gang terrorizing the country for the past six months. Martial law has been suggested to the governor. FLORIDA—Alleged Klansmen overpowered the jailer at Eau Gallie and released an alleged member of the Klan from jail. TEXAS—Four state investigations are under way in the supposed effort to uncover who is responsible for the hundreds of floggings by masked gangs. OHIO—A district gathering of 50,000 Klansmen near Steubenville, Ohio, threatens to end in bloodshed and civil war. OKLAHOMA—Since martial law has been proclaimed in Tulsa, there have been four more floggings by alleged Klansmen. Coolidge Interested President Coolidge was reported deeply concerned by the apparent increased disregard for law and order. The President and other government officials were said to be considering the advisability of enacting an antimob bill in the next Congress. The proposed legislation would apply not only to lynch mobs, but to all organizations of masked men who take the law into their own hands." The Dyer bill, passed by the last House, but "talked to death" in the Senate by a Democratic filibuster, will be reintroduced in the next Congress, it has been learned. The Coolidge administration is expected to support this measure inasmuch as the Executive was elected on a platform which pledged its enactment. Federal authorities, however, hope to extend the Dyer bill to include all masked organizations attempting mob violence of any nature. Anti-Whipping Law A movement now under way would amend the bill to make any act of mob violence a federal crime. Under this inventory would come the whippings, deportations and "tar and feather" outrages, frequently attributed to the Ku Klux Klan. Penalties on a lesser scale than those applying to lynchings would be provided. WORK ASKS $500,000 FOR HOWARD UNIVERSITY Washington, August 31.—Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior, will ask Congress to appropriate $500,000 for the construction and equipment of an addition to the medical and dental school at Howard university here. Of the amount sought $130,000 for equipment. These amounts have been already included in the estimates of the appropriations of the Department of the Interior for the coming fiscal year of 1825. Secretary Work said that it is due to the insufficient facilities for the education of the colored race in the medical and dental professions existing throughout the United States. At the present time the medical school of Howard university is being conducted in a small building. The proposed appropriation would be used to build a large structure, which would practically double its present capacity. Miss Anna McKoin of Portland, Oregon, is the guest of her cousin, Mrs. W. E.

Neighborliness and friendliness which are virtually words of the same “meaning, or synonymous, to express it in one word, is the acknowledge- ment of this mutual relationship of depedence of one upon another. Neigh- bor, as you doubtless know, means one ‘who dwells near or nigh another. Its derivation is quite significant apd throws a flood of light upon primitive Wife and man’s association with the tilling of the ground. Neih, near; gebhur, husbandman or tiller of the soil. Hence my near husbandman or tiller of the ground. My fellowtoiler, if you please, who like myself is try- ing to earn his living by honest toil therefore under the same law of labor ‘as myself, subjected, primarily to lik conditions. The root idea is a near fellow tiller of the soil, implying mu- tual Helpfulness between toiler ané toiler. Complexity of modern life anc the diversity of occupations do no! alter this primal duty of mutual help fulness. While neighborliness applies first to those who live near one, it it very plain that it should not be lim- ited to those. Friendliness and neigh borliness are traits of character which at is well to cultivate and encourage SCHOOL DAYS AGAIN JNEXT WEBK the public schools of our city and state and throughout the land will be reopening their doors to recelve the vast army of American boys and girls whose gréat privilege it is to have most excellent opportuni- ties of receiving an education. Happy indeed should the people be who are in such a state. The present genera- tion does not realize what wonderful advantages are theirs as compared with those @f a few generations ago.

This is pre- eminently true of Nebraska, where not only the most modern and up-to-date buildings are provided, but school books are provided free for the chil- dren, There is therefore no excuse for ignorance. Moreover education in this state is compulsory. Parents are compelled to send their children to school. ‘The children of our group here are taking advantage of these opportunities. ‘The Monitor would suggest hearty co-operation upon the part of parents with their children’s teachers. They should visit the school, learn how their children are doing, “and encourage them to do their best. We hope that our boys and girls will be filled with laudable ambition to be the best in their re- spective classes, letting none exceed them in cleanliness, neatness, conduct or scholarship. School days are here. Make good use of them. They will pass all too soon. ACUTE INDIGESTION (TSE FREQUENCY with which death ‘occurs among the American peo- ple from acute indigestion shows that Proper food and proper methods of eating are indespensible to good health. There is a great deal of care- lessness in this matter among our group. As a rule we are great eaters. We love to eat. Instead of eating to live many apparently live to eat. Eat- ing rich food irregularly and at all hours is responsible for impaired in- digestion which frequently results in sudden death. One should be careful as to the quality, kind and quantity of food he eats. Acute indigestion we are informed by a successful physt- cian claims many victims. GENTLEMEN NOT BULLIES Q™MAHA's police officers have the reputation of being considerate and gentlemanly men, as a class. There are apparently, however, a few sluggers on the force who should re- ceive attention. Police officers should be gentlemen, not bullies and slug- gers. FOOTNOTES TO AFRICAR HISTORY (By the Hamitic League) COTO ODDDOVD ORADDDD HANNIBAL Hannibal was the son of Mailear of Carthage, and a cullud buddy who traced his ancestry back to Mido, the little coffee brown beauty who made her getaway from Phonecia and built herself a bungalow on the site of the future Carthage. At the time Hannibal was born, Carthage was handling the trade of the world and Rome wanted to break up her picnic, His dad, Hamilear, fought Rome to a standstill and when the kid was only knee high to a duck, dad made him swear never to stop fighting Rome until the latter was ‘non est. ‘And Hannibal sure did try it, He had Rome so nervous that she went into hysterics every time somebody started to utter a word that started with the letter H. Several times Hannibal started with armies to go after Rome, but fortune was kind of hard on him. But the last time,he got his bunch to; gether, he almost made a go of it. He carried his army through Spain and over the Alps. Hannibal was the first bird who ever carsied an army across the Alps without flying. Na- poleon did it centuries after, but the cullud lad was first. Finally; the army reached the Val- ley of the Po and gazed on Rome, It was then that his judgement took a seoot and never scooted back. In- stead of jumping on Rome as soon as he arrived and had her seared stiff, his army hung around hobnobbing with the country folks and éating chicken dinners. If he had whipped Rome imme- diately, the history of the world would have been changed, but evi- dently, history didn’t ‘want any change. Hasdrubal, Hannibal's broth- er, wandered Romeward with small army and got'captured. Then the Ro- mans cut off, his head and tossed it into Hannibal's camp. When the great chocolate colored soldier saw the head of his brother, he sort of lost interest in the fight and it wasn't long before he beat it back to Carthage. Rome followed and offered a zil- lion beans for -anyboay who would bring Hannibal in alive, but his sol- diers stuck, When Rome finally cor- nered him and he found out that he couldn't get away, he killed himself and sent Rome a note of regfet that he wasn’t able to knock her block off.

AWARDED HIM ROYAL HONORS American Visitor in Europe Mistaken ly Accorded Deference That te Reserved for Rulers, ‘A visitor to one of the hotels at Carlsbad tells the story of a man to whom the servants and the proprietor paid the most profound attention, He was royally treated, rather to the neglect of the rest of the guest. Every time he came out of the hotel door a strip of green carpet would be rolled down in front of him and the attendants would take off thelr caps and bow in the most deferential and obsequious manner, Neither the visitor thus so strangely honored nor the other guests could make out what this deference meant. At last some one looked in the printed register. ‘There was the entry: “James the Ist, king of Buffalo, N. seh It was the native printer's render- ing of the American's name—James L King, Buffalo, N.

He was con- tnually taking headers, but was usu- ally laughing when the governess picked him up. ‘Then the little fellow would carefully brush the snow from the bottom of her skirt with his red mittens, ‘Marie, as well as Willie, showed the instinctive courtesy of a kind nature, She had impressed on her the propri- ety of thanking everyone who did her a kindness, and Marie always tried to comply. They had on one occasion talked of the various farm animals, and of how much we owed to them. At dinner Marie looked at her egg for some moments without eating it, and then slipped quietly trom her chair, “Where are you going?" she was asked, “I am going to thank Mr. Rooster for laying me this nice egg," ex- plained Marie. —Exchange.

To Anna Stewart, non-resident defendant: You are hereby notified that Cleveland Stewart, your husband, and the plaintiff herein, filed his petition in the District Court of Douglas County, Nebraska, on the 15th day of January, 1923, to obtain a divorce from you on the grounds of cruelty and willful desertion for more than two years last past. You are required to answer said petition on or before 15th day of October, 1923. CLEVELAND STEWART. (4t-8-31) PROCLAMATION Office of the Mayor, City of Omaha, State of Nebraska. To the People of Omaha: It has been brought to my attention that the week beginning September 2nd, 1923, known nationally as Paramount Week opens the greatest Movie Season in Nebraska. Inasmuch as the motion picture has come to be known as the great American entertainment and has developed into a national institution, it being the center of civic enlivenment and pillar of community progress, I hereby urge that you lend your support to the observance of Paramount Week and the Greater Movie Season. In my judgment, it is the duty of our people to support and encourage theatrical industries and the pleasure derived from their wholesome entertainment will amply repay those who give that support and encouragement. With the current announcement of bigger and better pictures during the Paramount Week and the Greater Movie season, I urge your support of the celebration. (Signed) JAS. C. DAHLMAN, Mayor City of Omaha. The Motion Picture has become a fixed institution both for entertainment and instruction. Millions of men, women and children witness these productions nightly. Any movement that tends to better, artistically and to raise morally, the tone of the movies, should receive hearty encour- THOMAS MEIGHAN AGNES AYRES BEBE DANIELS GLENN HUNTER BETTY COMPSON LEATRICE JOY JACQUELINE LOGAN JACK HOLT RICARDO CORTEZ RICHARD DIX THEODORE ROBERTS GLENN HUNTER BETTY COMPSON NITA NALDI WALTER HIERS POLA NEGRI LEATRICE JOY JACQUELINE LOGAN DOROTHY DALTON ALICE BRADY ELSIE FERGUSON JACK NOLT RICARDO CORTEZ GEORGE FAWCETT DAVIO POWELL ELLIOTT DEXTER RICHARD DIX THEODORE ROBERTS MARY ASTOR LOIS WILSON MAY MEAVOY Omaha September 2-3—"P Agnes Ayres a September 4-5—"T with Betty Co September 6-7—"N Jack Holt Playing at the A Paran If it's September 2-3—"RACING HEARTS" with Agnes Ayres and Theodore Roberts September 4-5—"THE WHITE FLOWER" with Betty Compson September 6-7—"NOBODY'S MONEY" with Jack Holt Playing at the ALHAMBRA THEATRE Paramount Week agement and endorsement.

PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH ATMORIM BAPTIST CHURCH At the morning service the pastor preached to a large congregation on "The Crucial Test" from the event in Abraham's life in which he was called upon to sacrifice his son Isaac. At 8 o'clock the Rev. Samuel Barrett, of Des Moines, formerly of Omaha and enroute to Los Angeles, Cal., was a welcome visitor and preached an instructive sermon on "Christian Sacrifice." There was a good attendance, many out of town visitors being present. Mrs. Wynn was awarded a $10 purse as winner of the popularity contest, as she reported $49 for votes.

GIRL USES HER HAT AS BANK Can Draw Against Depository on the Top of Her Head Any Old Time She Likes. It was already time to start for the theater. But Kathleen took her best hat down from the crowded closed shelf and frantically began to rip at the lining. "But, my dear," her friend reminded, "there isn't time to make over your hat tonight. What are you doing?" By this time Kathleen had got her hand in under the lining and had extracted—a $5 bill, relates the New York Sun and Globe. "What an amazing hat," remarked her friend. "It seems to be like the miraculous pitcher in which there was always sustenance." But the girl who has lived two years in a New York apartment and whose salary is given her in a little sealed envelope on the 1st and 15th of each month, explained: "You see, I can't possibly afford a bank account. There isn't any burglar-proof place in this apartment. I always lose my pocketbook. And I'm always running out of change in the most heartless places. So there came the idea of making my hats depositories. I Keep $5 or $10 in each chapeau. In this way I always have money with me, And what robber would think of looking there for loot? And, best of all, I often forget how much I have and think it is all gone—when, lo, I find $10 in the far edge of some lining." "The only objection is once I gave a hat away without examining the crown. And ever since I have been about $10 short." joins in the national demonstration of the better motion pictures All this week—Paramount Pictures will be shown JOHN ALBERT WILLIANS. All these Paramount artists invite you to participate. With Paramount Week the greatest motion picture season the world ever saw gets well under way. You have the opportunity for a grand review of 1923's achievements and a pre-view of the great Paramount Pictures coming. Celebrate Paramount Week at your own theatre as millions have during five previous annual Paramount Weeks. "It's Paramount Week at your theatre now!"

Rice is the most important of all crops in Java. The most productive method of cultivating it is by means of "sawahs" or wet fields. The sawahs consist of plots of ground surrounded by little dykes which allow water either to be run in or off. Where the land is sloping the fields are formed into a succession of terraces, causing the water to trickle from one to the other. Rice is sown by the natives by hand. After sowing, the fields are flooded by day and drained by night for eight or ten days, says the Detroit News. In about six weeks the spikes are replanted in groups of two or three stems together, each group being stuck into the muddy soil at a distance of about one inch apart. The soil is then flooded and drained every two or three days, and at the end of the fourth or fifth month, after replanting, the crop is ready to be gathered. The harvest is gathered stem by stem, the natives standing and cutting them at a height of two feet eight inches from the ground. The rice, after being stacked in bundles and dried, is put into a trough and a stamp or pestle is used to separate the grain from the straw. The grain is husked by means of a large mortar in which disks of stone, iron, or wood are kept moving either by buffalo traction or water power. Was Late With Her Gossip. Mrs. Doherty was the gossip of the suburb of Wimblesyead, and whenever any of her neighbors met her they always prepared to receive a nice titbit of scandal about some of their friends. Mrs. Gadabout loved gossip nearly as much as did Mrs. Doherty, and so she was extremely pleased when she saw the latter lady coming along in her direction one morning when she was out shopping. "Did you tell Mrs. Newife that you saw her husband in town with a strange woman?" Mrs. Gadabout asked when they had exchanged greetings. "Yes," was the reply, "and I wish I hadn't now. She just smiled at me in her wise way and said: 'Yes, I knew all about that. My husband saw you and knew you'd come straight back to tell me, so he telephoned the news to me himself." Hoist by His Own Petard. A working sense of fun is a good thing to possess, for sometimes if the humor of a situation cannot take the place of cash there is no compensation at all. A case in point is that of H. D. Traill, an English literate. One of Traill's earliest journalistic commissions was to write a series of articles in a paper edited by a lady well known years ago as a strong advocate of "women's rights," as the phrase went, on the anomalies and injustices of the British law relating to woman's property. The articles were duly written and published, but the remuneration agreed upon was not forthcoming. After repeated but fruitless demands for payment Traill brought a suit against the lady, who successfully invoked against her contributor the law she had engaged him to attack.

JACKSON 1317 Headquarters for BRUNSWICK Phonographs and Records TENNIS BALL KILLS HIPPO Cincinnati Zoo Losses Largest Speech men in United States. The person who threw the tennis ball into the cage of Zeekoe, gigantic hippopotamus at the Cincinnati zoo, caused the death of that animal, famous as the largest in captivity in America. The tennis ball was found wedged in the animal's stomach, where, unable to pass further through the narrow opening, it formed an obstruction, which resulted in Zeekoe's death after four days of suffering. The animal, which weighed about two tons and a half, was valued at $5,000, but was considered as being worth many times that sum as an attraction at the zoo. Zeekoe's life was imperiled on a previous occasion by some thoughtless visitor permitting him to swallow a woman's mesh handbag. In addition to the tennis ball a number of pennies were also revealed in the stomach. BEES STING HORSE TO DEATH Swarm on Backs of Team Until They Are Sprayed Off. The bees made a mistake. They thought the backs of Chester Patters' team a good place for their swarm to settle. And there was no pond in which the horses and their driver, Lee Watters, could take refuge. The swarm came drifting into an orchard near Rochester, N. Y., where Watters was harrowing. They ignored all the apple trees and picked out the worst possible place. Watters tried scraping them off by driving under low branches, but that didn't work and he tried breaking up the swarm with a pole. That was his mistake. The bees took up their weapons and went to war. Watters and the horses tried to leave the field of battle, but the bees stayed right with them until some one thought to get a nose. Then before the bees could be chased away one horse was stung to death and the other severely hurt. WILL CLEAN BIGGEST FLAG Vacuum Machine to Be Used on Postal Department's Banner. The biggest flag in the world is going to get a thorough cleaning shortly. It hangs in the court of the Post Office department, its sheer length of seventy feet and four inches falling to fill the great space in which it is displayed. A vacuum cleaner will be applied to its wool folds, and the dust which has accumulated upon it whisked out. The banner is said to be the largest free-hanging flag. The big flag, which has a breadth of 37 feet, would present quite a difficult problem if it were washed, so "dry cleaning" is resorted to, it having been cleaned several times before in similar manner.
