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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Davis, 26th and Q street, South Side.

‘Man is a social being and he who

‘That “no man liveth unto himself and
no man dieth unto himself”, is not
‘merely a commonplace of Holy Scirp-
ture but the statement of a social
fact. 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

eminently true of Nebraska, where not
only the most modern and up-to-date

compelled to send their children to
school. ‘The children of our group
here are taking advantage of these

suggest hearty co-operation upon the
part of parents with their children’s

ACUTE INDIGESTION

Proper food and proper methods of

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.

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.

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. Y—Kansas City
Star.
‘Gunininlie! ettestaaionie Plow,
Motion “up” or “down property Oe
fined, refers to movements against the
attraction of gravity or to those act-
ing with it Water acted upon by
gravity alone always flows down hill
and the Mississippi river, which rises
at @ point about 1,000 feet above the
level of the sea, 18 not an exception
to the rule, The statement that the
Mississippt flows up hill is based on
the idea that “up” Is always from the
center of the earth and “down” to-
ward It, If these were the only mean:
Inga of the words then it might be
sald that the Mississipp! river flows
up hill, for the polar radius of the
earth 18 over twelve miles shorter. than
the equatorial radius and as the Mis
sissipp! river extends over 18 degrees
of latitude, its proper proportion ot
tits difference amounts to maye then
four miles, the rivers source being
that much nearer the center of the
earth than its mouth,
Why He Selected Motte.
A man walked Intqra sign-painting
establishment and asked: “Can you
fix up a sort of placard or house mot-
to for me?”
“Certainly,” sald the painter.
“Put a border around it and beautl-
fy it a little?”
“We can do all that,” the proprietor
assured him. ~
“Make it as pretty as you like.”
“What is the wording to be?”
“It’s @ quotation from Shakespeare.
You remember Puck says: “I'll put @
xirdle around the earth in forty min-
utes,’ ”
Seeing that the sign painter looked
puzzled, he added: “I want it as a
gentle reminder to place on my wife's
Gressing table.”
Then He Kicked Himself.
Last year I moved from my farm to
another farm five miles south of i,
writes @ correspondent. As the roads
were bad, I left my car until the road
dried. One evening my son took me to
the place where I left the car, and
then eame home, It was dark when I
went out to get the car. The man
who had my farm and I tried to crank
the car, but weren't successful. ‘Then
we tled It on behind his car and
pulled it for a long distance. As we
found it impossible to start it, I
walked home. The next morning I
went back to loente the trouble. I
found I did not have the switch turned

‘The frigate bird of the South sea is
@ thief and a traitor, Figuratively
speaking, he files pretty low. He
robs the poor sea gulls of thelr fish,
and, not content with doing that, he
lures them and many other birds into
the hands of the natives. ‘The greatest
ambition of a native of Nauru island,
says a writer in the Bulletin of the
Pan-American Union, Is to own more
frigate birds than anyone else in his
village, Nauru, by the way, Is a
mere dot of land between the Marshall
and the Solomon islands. It has a nar
tive population of some two thow
sand persons.
Frigate birds, uninteresting and al-
ways apparently asleep on the roost,
fare capable of almost human cunning
when trained as decoys to capture
other birds, On festival days in
Nauru whole villages meet to contest
the supremacy of their decoy birds.
‘The king of the island presides over
the tournament,
Sometimes when the decoys are set
free not a wild bird can be seen oF
heard. Up soar the decoys until lost
to sight. ‘Then presently the screams
of wild birds rend the air, and flocks
of them appear and in the company of
the decoys approach the roosts that
the natives have built for them, Soon,
however, the wild birds become sux
Picious and try to sour away. Then
the real labor begins. With open bills
and widespread wings the frigate
birds attack their vigtims, bar thelr
way, head them off and circle round
and above them until they have driven
them, bullied and exhausted, to the
roosts,
At the end of the tournament a
count is made, and the village and the
Villager with the largest number of
captive birds to their credit are public-
ly praised by the king. ‘Thereupon
feasting and dancing begin.

A nursery governess tells of two
children, once in her care, who never
forgot to be polite.
‘An amusing feature of thelr walks
was Willie's trouble with his over
shoes. They were of a size out of all
Proportion to his feet, and hampered
his movements greatly. 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.

Increases Perfume of Flowers,
‘A process, the invention of M. Dan-
lel, professor of botany at Rennes, by
which the perfume of flowers is great-
ly increased, has been explained be
fore the Academie des Sciences in
Paris, By taking two. plants of
the same species and grafting one
op the other—notably a twormwood
‘on a chrysanthemum—he found not
only that the grafted wormwood de-
veloped remarkably, but its flower
save forth a perfume much more pow-
erful than that of the original plant,
Moreover the chrysanthemum had giv-
en to the wormwood flower something
of its own perfume, The professor
collected the seeds of the grafted
wormwood and the following year ob-
tained from them some fine plants,
They bad this peculiar feature—that
while the flowers of some of the plants
emitted a perfume similar to those of
the original graft, others were ubso-
lutely without odor.

Last Sunday was a high day, and special effort was made by the church to help the trustee department, and it was very encouraging indeed. The pastor preached at the morning service, and Rev. D. Phelps of Chinchnati, O., preached at the evening service.

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-

agement and endorsement. It is, therefore, with pleasure that the Monitor lends its whole-hearted support to the observance of Paramount Week and the Greater Movie Season. Our local theatres are presenting programs which should gain generous patronage and win the approval of all patrons. Both as an editor and a clergyman, I heartily endorse this movement.
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. The pastor leaves the last of this week for the National Baptist convention at Los Angeles, Cal.—B. S. Sutton, Reporter.
Henry W. Black, president of the Omaha branch N. A. A. C. P., left Wednesday night to attend the National Conference of the N. A. A. C. P. which meets in Kansas City, Kans. August 29 to September 5.
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."

RICE IS JAVA'S MAIN CROP
Cultivation of the Staple a Snow Process, All the Work Being Done by Hand.
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.

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.
