MATTER IS HANDLED QUIETLY Text of Ordinance Prohibiting Certain Public Exhibitions in the City of Omaha—Mayor's Letter. The newspapers of last Friday carried the advertisement of the appearance of "The Birth of a Nation" which was to open at a local down-town movie house Saturday for an extended run. Saturday morning a delegation consisting of the Rev. W. C. Williams, pastor of St. John's A. M. E. Church and chairman of the Grievance Committee of the Omaha branch of the N. A. A. C. P.; Dr. W. W. Peebles, commander of the Roosevelt Post American Legion; Dr. Herbert Wiggins of the Medical and Dental Association and Attorney A. P. Scruggs waited upon Mayor Dahlman and protested against the showing of the photoplay, glorifying the Ku Klux Klan. Mayor Dahlman wrote a letter to the manager of the theatre, which is published herewith. Monday's papers carried an advertisement that the picture would run indefinitely. Tuesday's papers carried the announcement that the picture would not be shown after Tuesday night. Without any unnecessary publicity or noise this prejudice-breeding film cut short its stay here. THE MAYOR'S LETTER March 1, 1924. Manager Moon Theatre, Omaha, Nebraska. Dear Sir: A delegation of prominent colored citizens has just called upon me to protest against the showing of the picture entitled "The Birth of a Nation", which they state is to commence showing today at your theatre. The question of the advisability of showing this picture has arisen a number of times in Omaha and in other cities. This seems to have been the occasion for the passage of Ordinance No. 9024 of the City of Omaha, effective December 21, 1915, which ordinance is still in full force and effect. Under this ordinance it is a misdemeanor to show any picture which "tends to incite race riot or race hatred, or which shall represent or purport to represent any hanging, lynching, burning or placing in a place of ignominy, any human being, the same being incited by race hatred." The penalty provided for the violation of this ordinance is "not less than $1.00, nor more than $100.00." This penalty would accrue for each and every showing of the picture, because each showing would be a separate violation thereof. The question of whether or not this particular picture violates this ordinance is, of course, a question for the courts. I am informed, however, by the committee which has called upon me, that complaints will be filed under the ordinance for each showing of the picture, and it will thereupon become the duty of the City Prosecutor to prosecute the proprietors of the theatre and endeavor to secure a conviction and the imposition of a substantial fine. In the hope that this difficulty can be avoided without prosecution I am addressing this letter to you, in the belief that you will feel as I do—that it is unwise and unjust to our colored citizens to show in Omaha a picture which meets with universal condemnation among their people, and tends to create a bitterness of feeling which is opposed to that harmony which we all desire shall reign among all citizens of this community. Respectfully, JAMES C. DAHLMAN, Mayor. ORDINANCE NO. 9094 AN ORDINANCE Prohibiting Public Exhibitions in the City of Omaha, and Providing a Penalty for the Violation thereof. BE IT ORDAINED by the City Council of the City of Omaha: Section 1.

Section 2.

C., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press) — The door of citizenship will be opened to approximately -25,000 American Indians by the bill favorably reported by the committee on Indian Affairs of the House of Representatives. The measure introduced by Chairman Homer P. Snyder of the House Committee on Indian Affairs and endorsed by Commissioner Burke of the Indian Office authorizes the Secretary of the Interior at his discretion to issue a certificate of citizenship to any non-citizen Indian born within the territorial limits of the United States who may apply for it. Upon the issuance of the citizenship, the bill states, "he or she shall be a citizen of the United States." A proviso stipulates that the citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of the Indian to tribal and other property. Already two-thirds of the entire Indian population of the United States enjoy American citizenship, the actual number being around 200,000. The proposed act will throw down the present bars that have prevented many Indians from becoming citizens and open the way to them by making application to the Secretary of the Interior and securing a certificate. In explaining why there are 125,000 Indians that were not citizens, Commissioner Burke said today that under the present laws they could not achieve citizenship unless they left their reservations, separated themselves from their tribes and took upon themselves the habits and mode of living of white people. The Snyder bill, he added, will permit the Indians to obtain a citizenship certificate from the Secretary of the Interior regardless of whether they reside on reservations and regardless of their present mode of living. SEEKS RIGHT TO VOTE Birmingham, Ala., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Considerable interest has been created here by the filing of a suit by Mrs. Cora Trotter against County Registrar I. K. Bowen, who refused to permit her to register for voting. He claimed that she did not know enough about the constitution of the United States after he had given here a piece of paper and told her to write down what she knew. Mrs. Trotter holds that she is a property owner, has paid her poll tax, a citizen of age, and therefore, entitled to vote. She is being represented in court by Attorney J. E. Robinson. She is the first colored woman in Alabama to demand the right to vote. PATTERSON RETURNS AS ASSISTANT COR- PORATION COUNSEL Chicago, Ill., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Major Adam E. Patterson, National Democratic leader, has been restored to his position of Assistant Corporation Counsel by Mayor Wm. E. Dever. Attorney Patterson who is nationally known was suspended from office recently because of charges by one Levy, cabaret owner, that Patterson had accepted graft money for favoring his REV. T. S. SCOTT, D. D. Who is conducting a revival at St. John's A. M. E. Church place and then failed to deliver the protection. Because of the seriousness of the charges the Chicago Bar Association investigated the case and gave him a clean bill of health and the mayor congratulated him upon his vindication. PREDICTS GREAT GROWTH FOR NEW YORK COLORED SECTION New York, March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Daily papers have been paying some attention to the fact that James C. Thomas, a young assistant district attorney, who when he was unable to rent an apartment in the section of the city where he desired to live, purchased a modern $200,000 seven story apartment house. The building is occupied by white families and is located in an exclusive section some blocks outside Harlemes "black belt." Mr. Thomas said he would make no change in the tenant list, that he did not intend to move colored families in unless those now occupying the apartments left it vacant. Mr. Thomas said he paid $0.000 of the purchase price for the house. He made the money, he said in real estate transactions, collecting rents at night with one hand on a pistol in his pocket. He declared that Negroes were coming to New York by thousands and predicted that the Harlem "black belt" soon would absorb miles of flats and apartments now occupied by white families. Mr. Thomas, a Cornell graduate, was appointed an assistant federal attorney by United States District Attorney Hayward three years ago. He has a charming wife and son. COLONEL YOUNG'S BIRTHDAY, MARCH 12 Chicago, Ill., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The birthday anniversary of the late Colonel Chas. Young, March 12th, will be commerated in various parts of the country, including New York, Washington, Wilberforce, O., Cleveland, Chicago and other points. In Chicago a special program has been arranged by the National University of Music, Miss Pauline James Lee, President, "Africa, the Mother of Music" will be the theme, and the achievements of Colonel Young along musical lines, and his researches in Africa just before his death will be emphasized. STEVEDORES PROTEST ALL HEAVY LOADS Washington, D. C., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Importers, distributors, and bakers of Teneriffe, Canary Islands, have been notified by the stevedores' labor union that after March 1, 1924, sacks of flour weighing more than 100 kilos (220.46 lbs.) will not be discharged from vessels in the port of Santa Cruz. Flour has been generally imported from England in sacks weighing 120 kilos (264.55 lbs.) and in the notice published by the labor union, mention is made of the flour brought from England in these large sacks. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 7, 1924 (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) "The World Tomorrow" magazine is devoting its March number to the Ku Klux Klan, and among the contributors to it are Wm. Allen White, editor of the Emporia Gazette; Wilfred Lay; and W. P. Beazell, executive editor of the New York World. Mr. White charges that all criticism of the Klan is met by lying away unfavorable facts. "Whenever an unpleasant story concerning the Ku Klux Klan appears in the papers," writes Mr. White, "the Klansmen explain it by saying that the great press associations are controlled by Catholics and Jews. Every possible unfavorable thing to the Ku Klux Klan locally, regionally, or nationally, is always lied away. The membership lives upon its suspicions, and over-suspiciousness in the father and mother of credulity—in due course the saturation point will be reached in the credulity of the Klansmen. They will wear themselves stale in believing impossible things of their neighbors the Jews, the Catholics and the Negroes." John McPike Keresey, another contributor to the number says that the Catholics condemn the Klan "as they would condemn any other corrupt lawless, disloyal and disintegrating influence in American life." Mr. Beazell describes as follows the wares offered by the salesmen of the Klan: "Do you hate, or even dislike, Catholics? Join the Klan!" Do you hate Jews? Join the Klan! Do you hate aliens? Join the Klan! Do you hate some neighbor? Join the Klan! "The salesman were not so crude as to put it in this bold fashion. There has never been a time when all concerned have not protested that it is maliciously untrue so to construe the objects of the Klan. But boil it down and see what the residuum is. It is hatred, and hatred in the cowardly guise that finds expression only through a mask." Mr. Beazell warns of the Klan's political power: "There is no use blinking this fact. The Klan dominates Texas; it dominates Oklahoma; it is powerful in Kansas and Missouri; it is powerful in Illinois. It is powerful in Ohio; it is powerful in Western and Eastern Pennsylvania, although not in the central section. Its membership in New Jersey is greater in proportion to the population than in any other state, perhaps. It is negligible in New York, but strong in Connecticut. "Here is a Ku Klux Klan belt that binds an actual majority of all the people of the United States. Through this territory every endeavor has been bent toward political power, and usable political power. It is a situation that is worthy of the consideration of every sincerely devoted citizen. The Klan today numbers no more than 1,800,000 members, but they are shock troops, make no mistake about it." HARLEM POST OFFICE IS ONE OF RICHEST, HAS RACIAL SUPPT. New York, March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—College Station one of the forty-eight branch post-offices in Manhattan and the Bronx, is at 140th street, near Eighth Avenue, in the midst of the world's largest racial colony. It is patronized by more foreign born colored than any other postoffice in America. Alexander King, colored, is superintendent; an Irishman and a Jew are assistant superintendents. Out of a working force of ninety, there is a slight preponderance of colored employees. The white clerks outnumber the colored clerks, and the colored carriers outnumber the white carriers, but in each instance the margin of numerical superiority is scant. College Station is the fourth largest postal savings deposit in the city of New York. It has 11,000 open accounts. There is on deposit $1,300,000.00 BUSINESS MEN TO TOUR SOUTH Chicago, Ill., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—A good will Educational Tour of leading cities of the South, under the personal direction of Prof. R. E. E. Lee, Extension Secretary of the National Urban League, has been arranged, starting from New York, on the evening of April 6th and continuing for fifteen days. The following cities will be visited: Baltimore, Washington, Richmond, Va., Durham, N. C., Columbia, S. C., Savannah, Ga., Atlanta, Ga., Tuskooge Institute, Ala., Montgomery, Ala., Birmingham, Ala., Memphis, Tenn., Meund Bayou, Miss., Nashville, Tenn., Louisville, Ky., Indianapolis, Ind., Chicago, Ill., and Pittsburgh, Pa. Special Pullmans will be used for the entire journey, and will be the "home" of the tourists, except at such times when they are guests of local committees. At every place visited the business tourists will be met by committees of local citizens who will have provided local entertainment and sightseeing tours. During April the beautiful Southland is in its glory of spring climate. The grass is green, flowers are in bloom, and the sun shines bright. To those who have been passing through the seige of winter's icy blasts, the change is quite refreshing. The Chicago party will be in direct charge of Claude A. Barnett of The Associated Negro Press and Phil A. Jones of the Chicago Defender. Chicagoans will be active in urging attendance to the "Silver Jubilee" of the National Negro Business League which will hold forth here in August. There will be an exchange of business contacts that will be helpful for those of New York and Chicago, as well as the South. It is expected that there will be business men from St. Louis, Kansas City, Detroit, Cleveland and other points who will join the Chicago group. MAYOR DAHLMAN SPEAKS AT PILGRIM BAPTIST CHURCH MASS MEETING Chief Executive Unqualifiedly Favor Passage of Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill—Meeting in Interest of Drive Pilgrim-Baptist church, Twenty-fifth and Hamilton street, Rev. W. M. Franklin, pastor, was filled Sunday afternoon for the mass meeting held under the auspices of the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. It was in charge of the Anti-Lynching Fund Committee. Attorney John Adams, was master of ceremonies. Mayor Dahlman delivered the address which was an unqualified defense of the Dyer Anti-Lynching bill. The Mayor said that he was not strong on the centralization of power and believed in the localization of authority in state government, but when it came to the protection of life and liberty, guaranteed to every citizen in the constitution, and states failed in this duty, the strong arm of the federal government should intervene. States had shown themselves impotent in suppressing mob violence and for that reason it had become apparent to many that such a measure as that proposed was the need of the hour. He had gone on record as favoring the bill. Whole Number 452 YNCHING Musical numbers were furnished by Rufus Long, Mrs. B. S. Brown, and the Rev. Russel Taylor. Mr. Taylor sang "Omaha" the words and music of which he had composed, the audience joining heartily in the chorus. Mr. Adams made a strong appeal for contributions to the anti-lynching fund which resulted in cash contributions totaling $44.00 and a pledge of $10. The President called attention to the ordinance passed several years ago forbidding the showing of films, etc., which had a tendency to embitter race relations and stated that "The Birth of a Nation" was showing at a local theatre. Mayor Dahlman read a letter which he had written the management. COLORED COMMERCIAL CLUB MOVES INTO LARGER QUARTERS The Colored Commercial Club has leased a 6-room flat over the Crouse Booterie, 1514 North Twentyfourth street, for a year and moved in on the first. The Commissioner's office and Free Labor Bureau occupies one of the front rooms. Off of this open two large rooms, which will be used for assembly purposes. There are three other large rooms, including a kitchen. There is also a bath room. The place is most suitable for the activities of the Club. It is the purpose of the officers and members to make it as useful to the community as possible. The assembly rooms will be available for meetings of small clubs and organizations, including those of women, which have as their aim social betterment. This, of course, does not apply to political clubs. It is planned to gradually add features of interest such as a reading room, recreation room and smoking rooms which will make it a popular place for all of its members. RECTOR OF BRANCHES NATIONAL ASSOCIATION COMING TO OMAHA SOON Robert W. Baganall Will Spend Several Days Here in Interest of the National Advancement Robert W. Bagnall o New York, director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P., will spend four days here in the interest of the organization. He will be here March 19th to 23rd and will probably return for a mass meeting April 1. Plans are being made to have him hold conferences with organizations and individuals and do some intensive work. It was hoped that James Weldon Johnson, national secretary, could come, but he must keep in close touch with Washington in the interests of te Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill and so is not available. Those who heard Mr. Bagnall when he was here some months ago will be pleased to hear him again. THE ANTI-LYNCHING FUND DRIVE The committee who have been working very hard to raise $1,000 for the Anti-Lynching Fund to help put over the Dyer Bill have not met with the success hoped for. Only a few days remain as the drive closes Monday. Contributions from One Cent up have been requested in order that everybody could feel that he or she, even the children, had given something. Earnest efforts have been made to reach everybody. This accounts for the literature which has been printed and sent out. Up to the present time the total cash receipts have amounted to about $250, only one-fourth of the sum asked. It is confidently believed that offerings from churches and contributions from individuals will rapidly increase this amount during the closing days. If you have not already given, give something to help STOP LYNCHING. REVIVAL AT ST. JOHN'S A. M. E. CHURCH A revival which is to be of one month's duration is being conducted at St. John's A. M. E. church, Twenty-second and Willis. It began last Monday night and is being conducted by the Rev. T. S. Scott, D. D., pastor of Allen Temple A. M. E. Church, Chicago. He is a forceful, earnest and eloquent speaker. Dr. Scott is the brother of Mr. E. G. Scott of this city. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 36 G FUND METHODISTS GIVE GENEROUSLY FOR CENTENARY FUND Colored Membership Numbering One Third of a Million Organized in Twenty Conferences Raises $1,451,687 DENOMINATION GET$ RESULTS Points to Praiseworthy Record of Educational and Evangelistic Work Among Chicago, Ill., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The Colored members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in twenty conferences in various parts of the United States, now number 550,406, and these gave to the benevolent enterprises of the denomination during four of the five-year period, the sum of $1,451,687. This money is above and separate from the donations of members for the local expenses of their churches and of their conferences. The Methodists entered into the Centenary expansion movement of the denomination with enthusiasm, says the Year Book, and their record in giving money and service is regarded as even above expectations. The fourth year of the five-year Centenary period ended May 31, last, and the amount named above has been exceeded by nearly one-fifth since then, according to Bishop R. E. Jones, New Orleans, Louisiana. Full returns will not be available until after May 31st, next, however. The Methodist Episcopal Church is one of the oldest agencies which has extended the hand of fellowship to the black man. Its work began immediately after the end of the Civil War and has continued in unbroken progress to the present day. Now six of the ten boards of the denomination co-operate in benevolent activities in his behalf. The Board of Education for Negroes, with Dr. I. Garland Penn, and Dr. P. J. Navette, as Corresponding Secretaries in charge of administration, supervise nineteen schools for colored. In these schools are neary 7,000 boys and girls receiving careful Christian education for becoming leaders in the solution of the problems of the race in future years. These schools include ten colleges and academical institutes, five normal schools and secondary schools, two hospitals and nurses' training schools, one first class medical college with dental and pharmaceutical departments, and one theological seminary. Nineteen Methodist Schools have 15,652 Graduates. There have been 15,652 of both sexes graduated from the schools of the Methodist Episcopal church and in the fifty-six years of their existence more than 206,545 young people of the race have been enrolled as students. Of the graduates, eleven have been elected bishops of the Methodist Episcopal church, one was an assistant secretary of War, another was surgeon-in-chief of a hospital, one was United States minister to Liberia, another is assistant attorney general of the United States, and scores have become presidents of Negro colleges and principals of high schools throughout the country. Under the board of education for Negroes more than $1,102,000 has been expended in the past four years in improvement and modernization of the nineteen schools. These included additional buildings, scientific laboratories, heating plants, and other improvements. The increased valuation of the total properties during the four years of expansion was nearly $2,000,000, making a total of $4,131,604. In 1921-22 the Centenary gave $450,000 to the twenty Negro conferences. PHYSICIANS AND NURSES ARE INVITED Nashville, Tenn., March 7—(By the Associated Negro Press) — Colored physicians and nurses were invited to be present at the monthly meeting of the medical staff of the Millie E.

A THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK "The greatest man is he who chooses the right with invincible resolution, who resists the sorest temptations from within and without, who bears the heaviest burdens cheerfully, who is calmest in storms and most fearless under menace and frowns, whose reliance on truth, on virtue, on God, is most unfaltering." William Ellery Channing. QUESTIONINGS SHE is the daughter of an English clergyman, long since called to his well-earned rest. He was a godly and scholarly man and his culture and religion made him a broad-minded man. The greater part of his ministry was spent in the United States. Here his daughter was reared and educated. She inherits the principles of her father. She is a woman of culture and refinement. Speaking to a friend the other day she said, "Why is it so many white people look with disdain upon colored people and treat them with such disrespect which causes them pain and embarrassment? It seems to make no difference how well-educated, cultured, refined and good a colored person may be, he is treated as though he were ignorant and uncouth. I can't understand it. And another thing, if people must be mistreated because they are colored, why did our Heavenly Father make men of different colors? It all seems very puzzling to me, I really can't understand it can you? I think people ought to be treated according to their character and real worth and without respect to race or color, don't you? God is to be thanked for women of this kind. There are more and more, despite apparent evidence to the contrary, who are thinking along the same lines as this clergyman's daughter. Some day the white people of the United States generally will realize that "people ought to be treated according to their character and real worth without respect to race or color." In the meanwhile, let us not worry about it. Let us do our full duty, let us bend every effort to make ourselves proficient along all lines, showing ourselves self-reliant, self-respecting, resourceful, progressive, proving ourselves worthy of the respect and friendship of such people as this Christian woman who is representa- Nebras Chapter Thirteen Enacted in 1898.

Questions demand a correct answer. STOP THIS DISCRIMINATION ATTENTION has been called to the fact that the moving picture industry is largely in the hands of Jews. They are the proprietors of many moving picture theaters. Nearly all, if not all of the largest movie theatres down town in Omaha are owned by Jews. We are informed that in nearly all of these theatres, colored people are discriminated against, in direct violation of the Nebraska Civil Rights Bill, which provides clearly and in unequivocal language that "All persons within this state shall be entitled to full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of - - - theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations, established by law and applicable alike to every person." Violation of this statute carries a penalty. Personally we have many warm friends among the Jews. We have no anti-semitic feeling or prejudice; but we desire to say frankly and candidly and we hope our Jewish friends of influence will realize the full import of what we say, that Jewish merchants who are enjoying a large patronage from our people, and this is especially true of the northern part of our city, as well as those down town, cannot expect our people to spend money with them in their stores and other places of business on the one hand and on the other hand be insulted and denied their civil rights by Jewish theatre owners down town. Al hint to the wise is sufficient. We expect our Jewish friends to see that this discrimination ceases. It can be done and must be done.

On the 26th of August, 1862, the Secretary of War ordered him to proceed to the Department of the South and organize 5,000 troops of "African descent," which were to be designated for service in garrisons not in danger of attack by the enemy, to relieve white regiments whose terms of enlistment had expired. 102. Who was Carney of Wagner? When the 54th Massachusetts Regiment, under command of Col. Shaw, stormed Fort Wagner, the regimental colors were entrusted to W. H. Carney, a young sergeant. As this gallant regiment ascended the wall of the fort the ranks were full, but as they reached the top, they melted away before the enemy's fire—almost instantly. Carney received a severe wound in the thigh, but falling upon his knees he quickly planted the flag upon the parapet, and lay down on the outer slope, for shelter. Carney with a death grip on the flagstaff held it erect for over an hour and despite that he was later shot in the head held on until he was relieved by another officer. When he was being carried past a brigade of his comrades, on the way to the field hospital, he partly raised up and cried, "Boys, the old flag never touched the ground." 103. What incident took place when the first New Orleans Colored regiment received its flags? The first Colored regiment raised in New Orleans; after remaining in camp for about six months were quite efficient in the use of arms. Its commanding officer Col. Stafford being disabled they were placed under command of Gen. Dwight. Before the regiment left the officers assembled at the quarters of Col. Stafford, where the Colored guard marched up to receive the regimental flags. Col. Stafford made a speech full of patriotism and feeling and concluded by saying: "Colored guard, protect, defend, die for it, but do not surrender these flags." The reply of the sergent was, "Colonel, I will bring back these colors to you in honor, or report to God the reason why." 105. Who was Nora Gordon? 106. Who was the first Colored man whose signature made money of worthless paper? Benjamin W. Lambert and his sister, Mrs. Ella Bradford of Detroit, Mich., enroute to Los Angeles, are the guests of the Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Williams at St. Philip's recory. They will remain over Sunday. They are members of one of Detroit's pioneer families.

C.—Complete elimination of clothes moths from the home is difficult. They breed not only in wearing apparel, but in carpets, rugs, and upholstered furniture, a single piece of which may often furnish a steady supply of moths to restock an entire house. They can be reduced, however, in any home or establishment by using the control measures prescribed by the United States Department of Agriculture. Persons owning clothing subject to attack can afford to buy chests or cabinets that are very tight in which to store them. Trunks are usually not moth-proof. Red cedar chests when in good condition are among the tightest containers on the market. Such chests keep out the moths, and the characteristic odor of their wood kills any newly-hatched or young moth larvae that may be confined in them with the clothing. Tight chests or cabinets, the walls of which can be made to absorb as much cedar oil as is found in the wood of containers of equal size, are as valuable as cedar chests. "Clothes moths are the prime offenders among fabric pests," says E. A. Black, entomologist, in a department bulletin. They Prefer Darkness. "The common clothes moths are usually seen flying in darkened corners and just beyond range of the brightest rays of the lamp. They prefer darkness. "The moths, or millers as they are often called, have imperfectly developed mouth parts and could not feed upon fabrics if they desired. Their purpose in life is merely to lay eggs that develop into the worms or larvae, which alone can cause destruction. Nevertheless, every moth killed helps to reduce infestations by preventing more eggs being laid. The moths lay their eggs in and about clothing and other objects subject to attack. From the eggs are hatched the larvae, or worms. Only the worm or larvae of the clothes moth is capable of destroying fabrics. "There are two very common species of clothes moth. They are the case-making clothes moth and the webbing clothes moth. The tapestry moth is less often found, though it may become destructive. "The adult of the case-making clothes moth has a wing expanse of about half an inch. Its head and forewings are grayish yellow or buff, with distinct dark spots on the middle of the outer partent. The hind wings are white or grayish and silky. The case-making decision path is so named because the larva, for its protection, makes a portable case out of spun silk and fragments of the fabric upon which it feeds. These cases attain a length of from four-sixteenths to six-sixteenths of an inch. The larva almost never leaves its case. The webbing clothes moth is the most abundant and injurious clothes moth. Bothered by One Type During the last few years, practically all instances of severe clothes-moth damage reported by manufacturing plants throughout the North, including Chicago, Boston and New York, have been associated with this species. For years it has been the prevailing species in certain houses in western Massachusetts and southeastern Connecticut, hence it cannot be said that this webbing clothes moth is typically Southern in distribution, although it is often called the 'Southern' clothes moth. "Clothes moths feed upon wool, fur, hair, feathers, and all fabrics manufactured from them. They also reilish dried animal matter such as dead insects, including the dead of their own species, and untreated skins, beef meal, casein, etc. In experimental work clothes moths have thrived best upon a diet of bristles, hair, feathers, fur, or raw wool, and not so well upon ordinary woolen cloth used in the making of wearing apparel. Notwithstanding this, the damage they cause to wearing apparel has given them a well-deserved reputation as pests. "There may be some satisfaction, however, in knowing that if the death rate among clothes moths feeding upon dyed woolen fabrics was as low as among those feeding upon raw wool, and their growth as rapid as when they feed upon bristles, furs and hair, their capacity for destruction would be increased enormously. "A single piece of hair-stuffed or feather-stuffed furniture may keep a house well stocked with clothes moths for years." U. S. Mine Death Rate Washington—Coal miners are being killed three times as fast in the United States as in Great Britain, Royal S. Meeker, secretary of the Pennsylvania department of labor and industry, told the annual session of the American Association for Labor Legislation recently. Both the fatality and the general accident rate among Pennsylvania miners have increased in spite of safety measures, he said. Van A. Bittner of the United Mine Workers of America suggested that conservation of the coal supply and of human life could be directed only through a federal Department of Mines. He also advocated a federal safety council, composed of miners, coal operations and government representatives, to compel the installation of safety services in mines. Heroism of Syracuse Man Prevents Disaster. Syracuse, N. Y.—Herolism of a crippled man was a vital factor in preventing a disaster when flames threatened the Hotel Warner, in which one hundred persons were asleep. Arthur Prieur, one of the owners of the hotel, aroused by the smell of smoke, hobbled on crutches from room to room, aroused the endangered by thumping on their doors and made a quick checkup to see that all the guests had left the building. Rescue work was expedited by the arrival of firemen, and it was stated that within seven minutes after the alarm had been sounded the six-story building, opposite the New York Central station, was evacuated. Only one guest was reported injured, John E. J. Clare of New York, who slid down a rope from the fifth floor and fell to the ground unconscious when several feet above the sidewalk. More than a score were carried down ladders. After Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Hall and little daughter Mary of New York were on a fire escape, the child remembered that she had left her doll in her room. Despite the density of the smoke she insisted that her father save the doll. With the plaything safe in her arms Mary consented to go down the fire escape. More than half the guests at the hotel were women and at no time was there any sign of panic. Women and children came down the fire ladders as calmly as did the men. The damage to the building was estimated at $30,000, caused mostly by water. The blaze started in a cellar from an undetermined cause. Armless Man Uses His Feet to Play Cornet JOHN BURKE London...James Elroy, thirty-five years old, a performer at the Olympia in London, who was deprived of his arms in a fire while a child, but who has learned to use his feet to accomplish everything that one can do with their hands. He dresses, shaves and feeds himself and is a rifle shot and good cornet player. Before entering the show business he was an engraver. The photograph shows Mr. Elroy playing the cornet. Strange Malady Hits 1,000 Leavenworth, Kan.—Nearly 1,000 persons in Leavenworth are reported suffering from a strange malady with symptoms which recently baffled physicians in Santa Anna, Cal. The victims are attacked suddenly with nausea and become ill, but usually recover within thirty-six to forty-eight hours. in Farmers' Receipts Chicago - Net cash receipts of the American farmers this year will be over $000,000,000 above last year, says the research department of the American Farm Bureau federation. Nearly half is to be credited to the cotton crop. Interest and taxes will probably be slightly less than last year. "What the man on the farm gains from now on he can hold for himself," says the report. THE MONITOR Ship's Crow's Nest New York.—An ice blast of 100 miles drove spray of tall seas above the crow's nest of the Scandinavian-American liner Hellig Olav, in recently from Co- penhagen, and she was so tightly frozen up forward that the look- out in the crow's nest signated for help. They rescued him with rope and tuckle. The foremast was a massive ice stalagmite.
