NEGRO BARRISTER ADDRESSES SOUTHERN SOLONS LIFTING LIFT TOWN $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy NEGRO SOUTHERN STUDENTS CHEER THE FAMOUS "GOOBER WIZARD" Professor George Carver, Tuskegee Scientist, Speaks In Several South Carolina Colleges HEARD BY 3,500 STUDENTS Tour Is Successfully Arranged by Interracial Commission as Part of Educational Plan Columbia, S. C., Feb. 15.—(Special.)—Thirty-five hundred students in leading white colleges of South Carolina were recently given a new conception of the possibilities of the colored race race, through a tour of the state by Prof. George Carver, the famous Tuskegee scientist, under the auspices of the Commission on Interracial Co-operation. Takini along a most interesting exhibit of his peanut, sweet potato, pecan and clay products, Professor Carver addressed the students of six big schools and everywhere was cordially received and made a profound impression. In every city visited he appeared also at the colored high school with a message of inspiration for the pupils. While the tour had no small measure of scientific value, its most important result was the deeper appreciation of the possibilities of his race which Prof. Carver inspired in all his hearers. This result was most apparent and was repeatedly commented on by observers. The Interracial Commission has also sent representative colored speakers into many of the white colleges of Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Oklahoma, and always with the finest results. Probably no part of its program is more effective than this plan by which thousands of college students—the leaders of tomorrow—are enabled to see what the best types of colored people are capable of and to hear the Negro's viewpoint presented by able representatives of the race. Among those who have made such tours for the commission are Dr. J. T. Hodges, of South Carolina; Dr. James Bond, of Kentucky; Dr. Isaac Fisher, of Fisk University, and Dr. H. T. S. Johnson, of Oklahoma. SOLENIFER SIGNS TO MEET SIMONICH WHO DEFEATED HIM SOLENIFER SIGNS TO MEET SIMONICH WHO DEFEATED HIM Battling Monroe, Colored Light-heavy Will Meet Chuck Lambert in Ten Round Semi-final NONPAREIL CLUB PROMOTING Tickets will go on sale Monday for one of the greatest box-fights ever held in Omaha in many a moon, and they will be at popular prices, with the promoters shooting at a record attendance. The meeting between Morrie (Kid) Schlaifer, Omaha's slugging welter, and Joe Simonich of Butte, Mont., in the main event of a great show is cause enough for much excitement, but when this is augmented by the matching of Battling Monroe against Chuck Lambert, it adds another peach to the pie. Simonich, it will be remembered is the boy who met and defeated Morrie in a no-decision affair in the Bluffs nearly a year ago. The slugging Yieldisher took a count of eight from the westerner and remembering it, wants to clean his slate of the boy to be open for another crack at Mickey Walker's crown. The promotors say that they have secured "sigs" to contracts of both Monroe and Lambert, two boys who have defeated Carl Augustine. Monroe lost in his last fight against Augustine and it was the opinion of fans that the dusky mauler could not take 'em as well as he could give them. Monroe says he will prove better in this bout. A good card of preliminaries is being arranged, so the fans can be assured of 30 to 36 rounds of padded sledge hammering. Tickets on sale Monday at all the usual places. There are 48,000 homes in Omaha, 48.4% occupied by their owners. A large ratio of the colored population are home owners. THE MONITOR Raising the Family- Does Gideon not feel more cheerful? - Oh yes!

THE PAGEANT "ETHIOPIA" GIVEN AT AUDITORIUM An Ambitious and Pralseworthy Undertaking Which Disclosed Inadequate Preparation and Practice INDIVIDUALS SHOW MERIT The historical pageant "Ethiopia" which was given at the City Auditorium last Tuesday night was disappointing. While several individual parts were well taken the production in several places showed a crudeness which disclosed lack of preparation and practice which would have smoothed out the rough places. In fact it was a large undertaking which requires much practice and patience to perfect. To creditably present an entertainment of the scope and magnitude of this pageant requires months of diligent practice. Under the circumstances directress and participants deserve praise for their efforts, but more time should have been given to preparation. The narrative depicted the Negro from slavery to the present, showing that though he was oppressed he had music in his soul which sustained and uplifted him and that after being freed his pace in every walk of life favorably compared with every other progressive race. The scenes were grouped under the heading of "Idol Worship," "Life in America," "Evening Worship," "Unvelling of Ethiopia," "Lest We Forget" and "Gift of the Muses." Special mention should be made of Mrs. Fannie Russell, dramatic reader, whose rendition of Dunbar's "Farewell" and "The Maniac" were masterly; Miss Dolores Johnson, whose singing of the Folk Songs could not be improved upon; the golo work of Mrs. C. H. Spriggs, the Misses Stratton and Duval and Messrs. Rufus Long, H. L. Preston and W. E. Carter and the solo dencing of Miss Margaret Bell. The accompanists, Mrs. Florentine Pinkston and Miss Otis Watson, did their work well. These gave artistic touches to the pageant and showed the heights to which the race has gone in music and dancing. Mrs. Frederick Divers was director, Attorney John Adams, interpreter, and Mr. H. L. Preston, chorus director. A fair sized audience was present. The entertainment was given under the auspices of Bethel A. M. E. church and the Knights and Daughters of Tabor. Buffalo, N. I., Feb. 15.—(By the Associated Negro Press.) Sport writers of this city are working their hardest to push to the front and a broader success Adrian Buckner, colored high school senior, whose deeds on the cinder paths have led to the nickname of "The Marvel." The exploits of Buckner are of even date with the work of Hussey, the spectacular flash of the Stuvesant high in New York city. Local followers of sport figure that there would be nothing to it but Buckner should the last two lads meet. Buckner is credited with having done the century in 10 seconds flat. It is claimed that the best time Hussey has ever made is 10 2-5. Buckner is said to beat the mark regularly. DISCRIMINATION VICTIM SUES FOR $120,000 Washington, D. C., Feb. 15.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The Seaboard Air Line, Southern Louisville & Nashville and the St. LouisSan Francisco Railroads have been made defendants in a suit brought for $120,000 by Dr. Edward Crosby of Detroit, Michigan. The complaint was filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission and alleged that these companies had not given Crosby the same accommodations accorded white passengers. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Editor THE REV. JOHN A. HARRIS, A. L. When viewed by the depths from which he came, the obstacles which he overcome, the heights to which he attained and the eminent services which he rendered, Douglass is one of the most commanding figures in American history. Frederick Douglass started his career in the bottom of a pit, on the lowest rounds of life's ladder, as a slave. He secured an education as You can never tell who the heroes in this life may be. They are discovered as occasions arise. Woodfin of Kentucky and York of Tennessee were all unknown to fame, until circumstances gave them the chance to show in what heroic molds they were cast. Woodfin and York are white, but a dispatch from Aberdeen, Miss., tells of another story of heroism, of brave and unselfish service wrapped up in two black skins. The story goes that a man, his wife and 10-months old baby were in an automobile truck packed with their belongings, which they were moving to a new home, and when they reached the James Creek Canal the driver lost control of the car and it plunged into the icy waters with all on board. The day it is said, was bitterly cold, with the temperature far below the freezing point, and it seemed that the father, mother and child would all NOTED BARITONE GIVES TALK ON MUSIC AND ARTISTS Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 15.—(By the Associated Negro Press).—Before a recent audience that packed the ballroom of the Bellevue-Stratford hotel, Harry T. Burleigh, of New York, noted baritone and composer, gave a short talk on music and artists of the race. He mentioned Roland Hayes and Charles Gilpin and told his audience their worth as artists and asked for a better understanding toward artists and music of the race. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1924 from Abraham Lincoln to Grover Cleveland. From the time Frederick best he could. By his resourcefulness and intrepid spirit, he escaped from slavery. He developed into an anti-slavery orator and won the respect and admiration of some of the most famous scholars of Great Britain and America. He won and held the confidence and esteem of practically every President of the United States HEROES IN SABLE Ex-Gov. M. R. Patterson in Memphis Commercial Appeal drowned and the waters close over them. Without help there was no chance to survive. To Negroes, Ed Jones and William Drake—happened to be walking down the road and witnessed the accident. Without a moment's hesitation these men plunged into the stream and effected the rescue of the three struggling forms in the water, who were then brought to Aberdeen and given attention. This is all. The account ended here. I don't know what, if anything, was done for the Negroes, or if anybody praised them. I am sure they have not been decorated for bravery and were not met with brass hands and offers of entertainment. The names of these Negroes will probably never again be in the papers. They did not kill anybody—they saved somebody. The affair was given by the Matinee Musical Club, one of the city's largest musical organizations, and Mr. Burleigh was expected to sing several spirituals of his own composition. Throat trouble prevented his singing, but he accompanied the soloist who took his place singing Mr. Burleigh's compositions. Omaha is building its fifth high school, North High, at a cost of $750,-000.00 Omaha is second city in the world in the number of telephones in use per capita. Douglass attracted the attention of the 'abolitionist, in the late forties, up until his death in February, 1895, his prudence, foresight courage and high character prevented him from slipping and falling down from the high pedestal, to which his impassioned eloquence, and his heroic work as an abolitionist lifted him. I know of no man of color who better typifies the possibilities of men of African descent than Frederick Douglass. No commander ordered them to do what they did, and nobody was there to look on except the helpless trio in the swirling waters. But God looked down upon what these obscure Negroes did, and Christ was near them when they risked their own lives to save the lives of others. It won't do my friends, for us to hate or wrong a race that can furnish heroes like this. It won't do not to give it a chance—not to help and encourage it. Ed Jones and William Drake are black only outside—they are all white within. Their act was as fine as any that may be found in any tale which has been told of heroic service. Ed Jones and William Drake have hearts of gold. They are gentlemen by right of what they did. Their titles are clear to respect and honor. GIRLS' DORMITORY BURNS; STUDENTS LOSE EFFECTS Tallahassee, Fla., Feb. 15—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Gibbons Hall, the dormitory for girl students at the Agricultural and Mechanical College for Negroes here has been completely destroyed by fire. About two hundred girls were rooming in the dormitory and lost most of their effects. The damage done is estimated at $22,000, and scores of girls are in need of clothing and shoes. ST HE TOOK SICK. WEDNESDAY AND DIED FRIDAY. AND HE NEVER SICK A DAY IN HIS LIFE BE 10 YOU NEVER TELL. Whole Number 449 WHITE CHRISTIAN MUST FEARLESSLY FACE RACE ISSUE ...Only Two Alternatives Are Before The Christian Forces of America Declares Speaker FAITH AND COURAGE NEEDED That there are sincere and earnest men and women who are anxious to apply the principles of the religion of Jesus Christ, the only solution of any social problem, to that of race relationship was driven home to the hearts of the audience which assembled in the auditorium of the Central Branch of the Y. W. C. A., last Sunday afternoon and heard the stirring addresses of Messrs. Collins and Cherington, speaking from the view- point of the white people and the Rev. James Blaine from that of the colored. The audience numbered only about 150, a goodly number of our people being present. The exercises were in charge of Miss Howard, the religious secretary of Central Branch, and representatives from the North Side Branch contributed to the program. These included solos by Mrs. Brown and Miss Duvall and a number by the Oakwood Quartetele, of Oakwood College, Alabama. Mr. Collins spoke of "the superior complex" which the white race assumes towards the colored race, and cited statistics of industry, Intelligence and moral standards of the colored race to show the fallacy of this claim. He excoriated the appalling, open and fragrant denial of the principles of Christian brotherhood towards the colored race disclosed by professing Christians. He said the time had come for individual decision to do one's duty in putting into practice Christian standards. Mr. Cherington said, "The Christian white people have the choice of the acceptance of either one of two principles: Conformity to the current and popular attitude which tolerates and excuses exploitation, repression, exclusion, segregation and humiliation or conformity to Jesus' teaching and example. White Christians must frankly face the issue. There is no escape. He admitted that it was going to take courage to do it, but he frankly stated it must be done, honestly and fearlessly and leave the outcome with God." The Rev. Mr. Blaine, pastor of Cleve C. M. E., plead for judgment of our group by the achievements, standards and aspirations of the best among us rather than the worst. ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH Twentythifth and R Streets—Phone Market 3475—O. J. Burck- Rev. Frederick Divers preached at 11 a. m. The Sunday school was well attended and interesting, also the League at 8 p. m. Mr. Geo. W. Bullock delivered an inspiring address on the text, "The Door Was Shut". He held his audience spell bound for better than an hour. His discourse was both logical and eloquent. Sunday will be Allen Day. The pastor will preach at 11 a. m. on "The Spiritual Achievement of the A. M. E. Church". At 8 p. m. there will be a program in honor of the occasion with good singing and speaking. Addie Howell, Maggie Clay, G. W. Jones, Miss Averett, and Mrs. Pinkey Brpant are all yet on the sick roll. Florence, Ala., Feb. 15—(By the Associated Negro Press.) David Price, an employee on Wilson Dam, Muscle Shoals, described how it felt to tail 110 feet perpendicularly and land on one's head on solid rock. Price was hurled through space Saturday afternoon. Fellow workmen expected to find him dead when they reached the river bed. They were surprised to find that he not only did not lose consciousness from the fall but talked rationally while being carried to a first aid station. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 33 SOLONS MIGRATION MOVES MISSISSIPPI TO LISTEN TO NEGRO Southern Legislators Hear Frank Address Delivered by Prominent Attorney of Our Race MAKES A GOOD IMPRESSION Redmond's Address Covered Entire Gamut of the Complicated Inter-Racial Relations Jackson, Miss., Feb. 15.—(By The Associated Negro Press.)—Robbed of one-tenth of her Negro population in one year by the fairer charm of northern industry, a runner-up for lynching honors during 1923, the home of Vardaman and other obstacles to colored or white American progress, Mississippi changed her course for a short while last week while the representatives of her sovereignty admitted to their presence in the state's legislative halls representatives of the submerged half of her population, the Negro, and listened to a recital of the Negro's hope for the future of the state. The Negro to address both houses of the legislature was S. D. Redmond, probably the most important Negro attorney in the state. He was accompanied by E. W. Narnes, L. M. Flurney, L. K. Atwood, E. L. Patton, Solomon Ward, G. M. R. Husband, W. L. Varnado, A. J. Johnson, R. T. Sims, A. J. Howard, S. W. Miller, S. H. C. Owen, G. W. Williams and E. B. Topp. The Daily News of this city, in commenting on the address delivered by Redmond, declared that such an event might not have been possible fifteen or twenty years ago, and continued: "Redmond delivered an admirable address to each body. He was fair, logical and convincing throughout, and it is unquestionably a fact that when he finished the lawmakers had a better and more comprehensive view of the educational and industrial phases of the race question than ever before." Mr. Redmond's address covered the entire gamut of inter-racial relations in the state, the evil of lynching in which Mississippi is among the foremost, the problem of education, in which she is most backward; the display of firearms, an incentive to crime among black and white citizenry; the care of criminals, the sick, the insane, and suffrage. The spokesman had in mind bringing to the heart of his hearers the fact that of the Negro's interest in the welfare of the state. Without censoring Negroes who had become migrants to better their condition, Mr. Redmond pointed out to the legislators of the state the harm which such migration wrought on the constructive forces of the state, black and white, and asserted that the greatest asset of any state is its man power. The discrepancy in education programs was also emphasized. With the population of the state practically fifty per cent Negro, Mr. Redmond told the lawmakers that there were practically one thousand high schools for white children and none for Negroes. The same gap existed so far as agricultural schools, seminaries and colleges were concerned. The Negro, he declared, was taxed and his money went to build white schools. In the case of Rosenwald schools, Mr. Redmond pointed out, the Negro was assessed one tax which went to support white schools, and another tax to build the adequate Rosenwald schools, thus paying two taxes without getting what he ought to have. The lawmakers were asked to favor the Negro by applying to his educational needs as much as he paid in taxes for the same. Absence of reformatories for Negro youths, sanatoriums for the tubercular, asylums for the insane, Negro nurses for Negro patients, of probationary officers, of adequate means for suppressing the sale of alcoholic liquors, and attendant evils were all covered in Mr. Redmond's address. While the legislature of the state was listening to Mr. Redmond, one of the state's representatives in the national congress was helping to kill the appropriation for Howard university. Cleveland, O., Feb. 15.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Geo. Ed.wards, a senior student at E. Tech High School with two other students (white) was sent to Columbus, recently, to represent Cleveland high school's orchestras in a special concert given by a grand orchestra composed of the best musicians from 40 of Ohio's high schools.

Washington.—The ability of the mule to endure hardship and perform stesting service under adverse conditions has established him as a real asset in American agriculture. While the mule is essentially a draft animal, it is used widely for utility purposes, especially in the South. A smart, alert mule, with a long, free stride at the walk and a snappy, balanced trot is highly desired. Mules vary in height from 21 hands to $17\frac{1}{2}$ hands and in weight from 600 to 1,600 pounds. The importance and popularity of the mule as a work animal are attested by the greatly increased use of the animal in our farm operations. In 1910, the number of mules on farms and ranches was 4,200,703. The number on January 1, 1920, was 5,432,391, an increase, during the decade, of 1,222,622, or nearly 30 per cent. Of the 5,432,391 mules on farms in 1920, 3,172,797, or nearly three-fifths, are in the nine cotton belt states. The only states outside the cotton belt have more than 175,000 head of mules are Missouri, with 380,045; Tennessee, 352,510; Kansas, 243,332, and Kentucky, 292,857. The total number of horses in the cotton belt states on January 1, 1920, was 2,855,257, or about 90 per cent as many horses as mules. The only cotton belt states having more horses than mules are Texas and Oklahoma. Can Endure Hardships. "The mule is a hardy work animal," says J. O. Williams in a bulletin of the United States Department of Agriculture. "While this humble creature responds to good treatment and gives best service under favorable conditions of feeding and management, it is his ability to endure hardship and to perform sterling service under adverse conditions that has established him so firmly in American agriculture. Those who are stanch supporters of the mule say that, in comparison with the horse, he will live longer, endure more work and hardship, require less attention and feed, is less liable to digestive disorders, lameness and disease. Is more easily handled in large numbers, is less irritable and is more capable of performing work in the hands of a mediocre or poor horseman. Whether or not all these claims may be substantiated, it is a fact that the mule is well established as a work animal in those sections where climatic conditions are most severe, feed less abundant and horsemanship is not a prevailing art. Hia Eccentricities. "The mule is an animal with possibly more eccentricities and undeniable virtues than any other domestic animal. One would naturally expect from his heritage a rather unusual temperament requiring the most thoughtful treatment. The difficulty is to know how to handle the mule in order to keep the desirable qualities of his maternal ancestry in the foreground and to keep subservient the latent donkey characteristics. To treat consistently a conglomeration of stubbornness and willingness, temper and sullenness, contentment and restlessness, slyness and doctility, faithfulness and waywardness, with no knowledge of which virtue or vice is going to assert itself next, is a problem which may well tax the qualities of the best horseman. Must Be Treated Gently "There are some peculiarities which belong to the mule alone. He does not like to be hurried, worried or cuffed about; to try to force him to do things against his will is practically impossible and only makes matter worse. The mule must be understood and gently but firmly persuaded to do things out of the ordinary. He is naturally suspicious of everybody who comes around him, and it can be readily observed that he never takes his eye off a person near by, and when the ears begin to wag a little the person watched had better be on the lookout. There seems to be a code system of ear signaling among mules that all understand. A mean mule can defy handle his bind legs, and his forelegs are not be ignored. He has been known to handle his 'mitts' in a clever fashion. Wrong and Right Way "There is a wrong and a right way to lead a mule. A man who looks at a mule and lugs at his head will never make any progress. The mule will not be pulled. He will usually follow, however, if a man will walk away in the direction he destroys to go. Neither can you 'bully' mules in going through tight places; they are somewhat like sheep, and if the leader can be induced to go the rest will follow. "The importation of jacks, and consequently the production of mules, dates back to colonial times. About 1787 George Washington was presented with a jack by the king of Spain which, was used in the stud at Mount Vernon. Many good mules were produced in those days, and the value of the mule as a work animal was soon recognized by intelligent planters. It has been within the last forty years, however, that the production of mules has been an extensive enterprise and that much attention has been given to the rearing and selection of the best jack stock. "The American jack of today is a composite of the bloods of some of the best foreign breeds, and in attaining the highest standards of excellence prevailing in the jack stock of America the breeders have emphasized the valuable utility points so much desired in the best jacks, such as size, weight, bone style, quality and action."

FLAME BRASLER SCIENTIST FINDS LARGE SUN SPOT Theories as to Why They Affect Earth's Temperature. New York.—A new sun spot having a diameter of more than 50,000 miles, a length large enough to stretch twice around the earth was observed recently from an observatory at West Chester, Pa., by Dr. David Todd, former director of Amherst college observatory. This great sun spot is situated on the eastern edge of the sun. Sun spots have been observed by astronomers since the remotest times, and many have attributed some of the abnormal weather phenomena of the earth to influences exerted by them. Many years ago the Australian astronomers, who had analyzed the observatory records of weather covering more than a century, found that droughts and periods of heavy rains followed each other regularly in periods averaging about 18 years. And during these cycles numerous sun spots phenomena were noted. In recent years astronomers have given much study to the influences of the appearances of sun spots upon our weather and while there is not at present a general agreement on the theory, little grounds are left for believing that other factors than sun spots are responsible for many of the more violent terrestrial weather and climatic disturbances, magnetic and electrical storms, hurricanes and droughts are intimately connected with sun spots. Affects Earth's Temperature. Notwithstanding the large amount of study that has been devoted to sun spots during the last 100 years, they are not at present fully understood. Two theories are advanced to explain them. The one most generally held is that sun spots are vortex of cyclonic phenomena within the sun's external envelope, which are, in many respects, analogous to tornadoes and hurricanes on the earth. Every sun spot has a magnetic field, the polarity of which is secured by noting the direction of rotation of the electrons in the vortex of the spot. This is done by spectroscopic measurements. A sun spot rarely occurs alone. There is usually a group of them, although the smaller members may not always be visible to us. The spots often exhibit opposite magnetic polarity, and smaller spots of either polarity often follow the members of a pair of spots. This electrical phenomenon is believed to be reflected on earth by changes in the atmosphere. A great part of solar radiation of heat and electric power is absorbed in the higher layers of our atmosphere. About 40 per cent is lost by reflection, 40 per cent by absorption, leaving only 20 per cent to penetrate down to the earth's surface. The 40 per cent which is absorbed in the upper air is believed to exert the greatest effects in changing the earth's temperature. It acts by modifying the circulation of the whole atmospheric mass. When this is violently put in motion radiation is allowed to reach the earth's surface, but when circulation is stagnant radiation is deflected and absorbed. Both the thermal and electrical radiation of the sun vary together, and electrical storms within the sun are reflected in some climatic changes on the earth. Cause Magnetic Storm. About 10 or 14 days usually are required to notice changes in our atmosphere after solar disturbances have been observed. The center of the sun's disk is the important part regarding its thermal radiation; but the marginal areas of the disk are the chief electrical centers, because the sun's magnetic particles emitted from the sun spots and other areas of disturbance The second sun spot hypothesis holds that they are due to large areas of heated gases projecting up through the disk. in many cases for thousands of miles, which radiate heat and magnetic waves into space, and when they exhaust themselves fall back into the chromosphere to become reheated and recharged. Dr. H. H. Clayton has suggested that when clouds of hot gases are ejected in the form of sun spots they do not increase the radiation from the central portions. The cooling of the projected gases, in some cases hundreds of thousands of miles beyond the sun's disk causes them to act as a screen, which hinders the radiation from the sun's mass immediately below. Should this hypothesis be true it will follow that the sun's influences upon the earth will be controlled by phenomena on its margins rather than by radiations from its central masses. The British astronomer Maunder and Camille Flammarion both believe that streams of electrical particles ejected into space by sun spots are the causes of magnetic storms on the earth through creating disturbances in the atmosphere.

H.-Attempts to take aerial photographs and observations of gas and heat directly above the continuously active fire pit of Halemaumau in the volcano of Kilauea on the island of Hawaii, will be made by army aviators in the near future, it has been announced by headquarters of the Hawaiian department. This, it is believed, will be the first time in history that airplanes will be used for the purpose. The photographs and observations will be used by scientists. Work will be started immediately on a landing field and airfield at the Hawaii National park, which includes the volcano. The air survey of the volcano will consume several months. The aviators also will photograph Hilo harbor and other strategical points on the island. Pay $17,000 for Book London. At a recent auction a William Blake "Milton." 1848, brought $17,000.

Women Ask Equality in Barber Shops New Orleans—Business women of New Orleans have demanded of the New Orleans Association of Commerce equal barber shop rights with men, and the commercial organization has passed the buck to the locals of the barbers' union and the Master Barbers' association. The committee which called upon officials of the association of commerce explained that the women want snappy service and barber shop prices, not the customary tax of the beauty parlors. They also want free access to all the city's barber shops and a chance to take their turn with the men. Nurse Asks 15 Million for Shattered Nose FOR Shattered Nerves York, Pa.—Mary Keister, a trained nurse, who said her nerves were shattered by the blasting of stone while workmen were improving a road near her home, has asked $15,000,000 damages from the county. It is the largest claim ever made against York county, Comptroller Bartenschinger said. In her bill for damages Miss Keister said her nerves had been so shattered by the blasting that she was unable to gain a livelihood in her profession. ```markdown ``` THE MONITOR (N Lincoln News Service.) A building and loan association is being organized in Galveston, Tex. One of Chicago's leading colored democrats is taking the "Salt River" trip. Aeronautics don't seem to appeal strongly to the "high flyers" of the race. There are several Japanese truck farmers in New Jersey, and more to follow. No hogs are raised on 32,920 of the 205,124 farms in Indiana. In Richmond, Va., the young colored ladies have formed a "Business and Professional Girls' Club." One authority claims that there are 50,000 Negroes engaged in businesses having a volume of $1,500,000,000. In the Imperial Valley, Cal., the Supreme Court's crop-sharing decision took Japanese from 50,000 acres of cotton land. Fred D. McCracken, of St. Paul, Minn., is being strongly urged to become a candidate for delegate to the Cleveland convention. The production of $12,500 worth of spinach on twenty acres of New Jersey land was accomplished by a colored truck farmer last year. Our delegates to the National Convention will find in Cleveland almost as many widows as single girls, fifteen years of age and over. Buffalo is to have a colored theatre and a five-story building with stores and offices to be occupied by business and professional people of the race. At the next meeting of the National Negro Business League, President Motion should entertain a motion to permanently establish and endow an "anxious seat" at Tuskegee.
