Mr. Johnson declared leaders in the House of Representatives felt confident the Bill would be passed there. The history and present status of the Dyer Bill, in the present Congress, as given by Mr. Johnson are as follows: "On the opening day of Congress, the Bill was re-introduced, by Congressman Dyer as H. R. number 1. It was referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary. "On January 10, the Judiciary Committee favorably reported the Bill. "On January 21, Mr. Dyer introduced a resolution asking for a rule to give the Anti-Lynching Bill immediate consideration. This resolution was referred to the House Committee on Rules and ordered printed. "The Committee on Rules has not yet acted. A prominent member of this Committee informed me that action on the Dyer Bill had been delayed by other pressing matters before the House, including the Revenue Bill, the Muscle Shoals Bill, the Immigration Bill and the Bonus. Three of these bills had already been disposed of, he said, and the other two would be shortly. My informant gave as his opinion that as soon as that had ben done, colored people should bring all possible pressure to bear for quick action on the Dyer Bill. "The leaders in the House of Representatives with whom I have talked feel confident that the Dyer Bill will be passed in the House. They feel, however, that it will be best to clear away other pressing matters which might be used as an excuse to retard action on it. "It is the consensus of opinion among Congressmen most interested in the Dyer bill that the publicity given the subject on the floor of Congress has affected the entire country and has been the greatest cause for the falling off in the number of lynchings. They feel that the fact has been driven home to the authorities and the people in lynching states that if they did not attempt to stop lynching the Federal Government eventually would step in on it. Those friends of the Bill believe further discussion in this Congress will do still more to curb mob violence and lynching, regardless of what action the Senate may take." The National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. is prepared to put its entire machinery and as many agencies as will cooperate into action to bring the greatest possible pressure for enactment of this Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. FISK GETS $250,000 Nashville, Tenn., March 28.—Fisk University, after receiving $250,000 from the Rockefeller Board and $960,000 raised by Paul Cravath, son of a former president, is today the best endowed college in the race. TANNER GOING BACK TO GAY PAREE New York, March 28.—Henry O. Tanner, world's famous religious painter, is going back to Paris after a sojourn here. He has agreed to paint a panel for the top of the bronze tablet commemorating the 136th anniversary of Mother Bethel Church, of Philadelphia. Be Sur THE MONITOR TO FOSTER BETTER RACE RELATIONS Rev. J. W. Jackson Employed by State Committee to Work With Colored Groups Atlanta, Ga., March 28.—Dr. T. J. Woofter, Jr., secretary of the Georgia Race Relations Committee, announces the employment, as colored associate secretary, of Rev. J. W. Jackson, former Baptist pastor and for ten years field worker in Georgia for the General Missionary Baptist Convention. He will work especially with the colored committees throughout the State, organizing, strengthening, and assisting wherever his services are required. The State Committee has long felt the need of a competent colored secretary for this phase of the work and feels that it has chosen well in getting a man of fine spirit, many years experience as minister and missionary worker, and wide acquaintance throughout the State. The object of this Committee is to bring about better understanding between the races, eliminate friction, correct injustices and promote community cooperation for the common welfare. BAGNALL SPENDS BUSY FOUR DAYS FOR ASSOCIATION Director of Branches of the National Advancement Association Makes Good Use of Visit Robert W. Bagnall, director of branches of the N. A. A. C. P. spent four busy days in Omaha last week in the interest of the Association. Arriving from Kansas City last Wednesday night he met a conference of representative men at the Colored Commercial Club, where he laid before them the program and plans of the N. A. A. C. P. He was kept busy until midnight answering questions and giving information. At this conference pledges and cash for the important work before the association to the amount of $145 were voluntarily made by the men present. Thursday was largely devoted to correspondence and meeting of individuals. Friday morning he delivered an inspiring address before the University of Omaha, where he made a very favorable impression upon faculty and students. Friday afternoon he held a conference with a large group of representative women at the Colored Commercial Club, where plans were laid for a popular baby contest and pledges and cash for the Association's work to the amount of $110 were received. Saturday he was busy interviewing individuals and Saturday night attended a meeting of the Executive Committee of the local branch. Sunday morning he preached at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon and in the afternoon he addressed a mass meeting in Zion Baptist Church, where he spoke for an hour and a half and so intensely interested was his audience that they thought his address was quite short. At this meeting $345 in pledges and cash were made. He left at midnight for Denver, Colorado. His visit here has been most beneficial to the local branch. Enroute to St. Paul, Mr. Bagnall will spend Tuesday here. HOWARD UNIVERSITY IS TO HAVE NEW ATHLETIC (Lincoln News Service) Washington, D.

A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, MARCH 28, 1924 What Are the Wild Waves Saying? PERKINS, WHAT ARE YOU DOING? TUNING IN ON ONE OF THEM CABARETS (Copyright W. N. U.) What is the Matter With Christianity Today? There is Something Wrong About It? (An address delivered by the Rev. Francis J. Grimke, D. D., pastor of the Fifteenth Street Presbyterian Church, Washington, D. C., at the Seventh Annual Convocation of the School of Religion of Howard University, Washington, D. C. It was this address which so offended certain Southern Senators that they withheld the appropriation for Howard University. Part I "Ladies and gentlemen, in the time that I am to occupy I wish to address my remarks to the question, What is the trouble with the Christianity of today? There is something wrong about it; what is it? In one direction at least, I think I know what that trouble is. To my mind it is its hypocrisy, its manifest insincerity. It professes to believe what it has no intention of living up to, except so far as it doesn't interfere with its selfish aims, so far as it does not run counter to its prejudices. The great indictment which Jesus Christ would make against it if he were here today is, "Why call ye me Lord, and do not the things which I say?" (1) Its great deficiency, as I view it, is not in the line of its non-acceptance of Jesus Christ as the Great Teacher sent from God. It hails him as the greatest of teachers. It has studied, and studied very carefully, all the things that he has said. Every word that fell from his lips, as handed down in the Scriptures, it knows and knows the meaning of. Volumes have been written extolling him as Teacher and expounding his words, setting forth his ideals and principles. The Christianity of today is not deficient in knowledge of what Jesus said, of what was clearly in his mind as to the principles that were to have sway in his kingdom. He not only, while he was on earth, outlined what those principles and ideas were, but after he had gone, in accordance with his promise, sent the Holy Spirit to guide the apostles in unfolding those principles. No one can read the 21 Epistles of the New Testament and fail to see exactly what is involved in the teachings of Jesus Christ. Everything is set forth clearly, line upon line, precept upon precept, here a little and there a little. The Christianity of to-day knows perfectly well what is required of it, what it ought to be, and what it ought to do. (2) Its great deficiency, as I see it, is not in its non-acceptance of Jesus Christ as priest. It makes much of his atoning blood; it magnifies the cross of Christ as the great sacrifice for sin. "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believeth on him should not perish, but have everlasting life." A Federation of White Churches On these two points it seems to be mainly or largely right; but when we go a step further and think of Jesus Christ as King we find that it is far from being right. The one thing which it does not acknowledge, except in a halting, hypocritical way, is the right of Jesus Christ to control its action, to say what it shall do and what it shall not do. It has never learned and shows no disposition to learn the great lesson which God taught centuries ago through Samuel, "To obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams." The Christianity of today is a Christianity that makes no serious effort to carry out the whole counsel of God, to live up to the full requirements is precisely that of the bootleger and the whole criminal gang represented by the liquor power in this country in regard to the eighteenth amendment to the Volstead Act; it chooses among these God-given requirements which it will carry out and which it will not. When its prejudices are crossed, its selfish interests interfered with, it sidetracks the law of God, it shuts its eyes to the violation of the most sacred and fundamental principles laid down by the founder of Christianity. It professes, e. g., to believe in the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man—these are both vital and fundamental principles in Christianity—and straightway, in the face of these principles, everywhere is setting up barriers against men on account of race and color. Here in this city we have a federation of churches—a federation of what kind of churches? A federation of white churches. The very fact that such a federation exists in this city shows what kind of Christianity we have here, what kind of Christianity is represented in these churches. It is not a federation of Christian churches, but a federation of white churches, which shows that these churches, consciously, are standing for a Christianity that lays greater emphasis upon the color of a man's skin that upon his Christian character. What right has any group of churches, calling itself Christian, to set up barriers against another group on account of race or color? When the Christianity of today comes to recognize fully the authority of Jesus Christ in all that it does; when it turns a deaf ear to every other consideration except the will of Jesus, as Lord, there will be no white churches, or colored churches, nor white federation of churches; nor will there be any colored churches, or colored federation of churches. All churches, all out It? What is it? federations of churches will be open alike to all who are Christians without distinction of race, color, or condition. We have also in this city a white Y. M. C. A. and a white Y. W. C. A., from which colored people are excluded and excluded because they are colored, because they happen to be of another race variety. The very fact of the existence of such associations is a standing reproach to the Christianity that they represent. What right has any so-called Christian association to draw the color line on anyone? It may have the right as an association to do so, but not as long as it bears the name Christian. That name, that sacred name, forbids all such distinctions. And the man who does not see that it does, it either a fool or is woefully ignorant of what Christianity really is and what it teaches. Surely, the wayfaring man, though a fool, if he knows anything about Christianity, the Christianity which Jesus taught and lived, knows that such distinctions are entirely out of place in a Christian organization. (Continued next week) HELP TAKE HOTEL Lakewood, N. J., Mar. 28.—Carasillo Hotel closed here by bankruptcy is in the hands of 200 cooks, waiters, bellboys and maids. They declare they will act as guests until they get their month's back pay. Food enough is on hand to last several weeks. 10,000 WORKERS FOR WOMEN'S CLUB Washington, D. C., March 28.—A membership of 10,000 working women is expected at the National Ware Earners' Club headed by Miss Nannie Burroughs, which has purchased the property at the corner of 12th and Rhode island avenues. N. W. SENATE REWARDS CHILD OF DEAD BARBER (Lincoln News Service) Washington, D. C., March 28—Under a Senate resolution recently passed, provision was made for the payment to Annie M. Peterson, sole surviving child of John Hickman, of one year's compensation at the rate Hickman was receiving at the time of his death. Hickman, a colored man, at the time of his death recently, had been on the rolls of the United States Senate for 58 years. Virtually all of that time he was in the Senate barber shop, where he became acquainted with every man who has served in the Senate in the last half century. In appreciation of his faithful services the usual six months' compensation in lieu of funeral expense in his case was doubled. Whole Number 455 MRS. AMES JOINS RACE COMMISSION'S STAFF Former Leader of Texas Women Voters Actively Enters New Field Belton, Texas, March 28.-Dr. J. C. Hardy, President of Baylor College and chairman of the Texas Interracial Commission, announces that Mrs. Jessie Daniel Ames, of Georgeown, has been secured by the Commission for field work in the State and has entered upon her duties. Her work will be to set up, strengthen and stimulate local interracial committees, and to promote the work of the State Commission with special reference to the organization and development of the woman's department. As organizer and former head of the Texas League of Women Voters, Mrs. Ames is one of the best known and most influential women in Texas. She was also a charter member and the first chairman of the woman's section of the State interracial Commission. The Commission feels that she is peculiarly fitted for the work upon which she is entering. TELLS OF SHORTAGE OF NEGRO MEDICAL MEN (By the Associated Negro Press) Washington, D. C., March 28.—Congress recently struck out from the Howard University appropriation the items designed to take care of an improved and enlarged medical school which had been recommended by Secretary of the Interior Hubert Work. Mr. Work called attention to Howard's position as the only college, save one, for colored physicians and dentists. In his annual report to President Coolidge, made the 13th of this month, he explains. "The recommendations were made after an investigation showing that the colored population of the United States has increased to nearly 12,000,000 and that there is only one colored physician to 3,194 persons, while the white race has a physician to every 553 citizens thus raising an important issue in the Negro inhabitants. The disparity is even greater in the proportion of white and colored dentists. Statistics show that there is one white dentist to every 2,070 white people in the United States, while there is but one colored dentist to every 20,500 colored persons. Other figures reveal the fact that only a very meager number of colored doctors and dentists are completing the course every year at the Howard University, the average number of physicians graduating for the last ten years being 20 while the number of dentists averaged 22. Responsibility for the situation is attributed not to the disinclination of colored youths to study medicine and dentistry and adopt them as professions, but to the deplorable limitations of the capacity of colored educational institutions. During the fall term of Howard University there were 1165 applicants for admission to its medical school. Out of this number but 50 could be admitted to take the course because of the inadequacy of laboratory space, the number rejected being 125. The appropriation presented to Congress included $370,000 for a new building and $130,000 for equipment. LIBERIA REFUSES GARVEY DELEGATES (By the Associated Negro Press) Monrovia, Liberia, March 28.—President C. B. D. King of the Republic of Liberia, has denied the application of the delegates sent here recently from the U. N. I. A. for a conference on the subject of the colonization of Liberia by members of the U. N. I. A. The President stated, "I am willing to meet the delegates if the interview is of an un-official character and the discussions to take place are of an informal nature and as between private individuals." The president informed your correspondent that he is keeping his mind on the obligations of Liberia to the Great Powers and looking particularly to the maintenance of the Independence of the Republic. Now that the undertakers have decided to take the gloom out of funerals by disgusing their hearses they should take steps to dispel the gloom that follows the presentation of their exhertibant bills. GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 39 NEGRO DU BOIS TELLS OF THE PAN-AFRICAN AND TRIP ABROAD Touched Three Continents, Saw Five African Colonies and Islands; Is Impressed with Possibilities of Dark Continent WATCHING AMERICAN NEGRO European Countries Especially the Colonial Powers, Show Great Interest in Development of Race New York, March 28.—Dr. W. E. B. Du Bois, editor of The Crisis, who has just returned from extensive journeys in Africa, today through the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, recently gave out a statement summarizing his voyage. Dr. Du Bois said: "I have just returned from a journey of 15,000 miles in the course of which I touched three continents and five European nations and 5 African colonies, also 5 African islands. I attended the inauguration of President-King of Liberia for his second term, as a spectator representing the President of the United States, with the rank of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. I saw two colored Consuls at Dakkar, and St. Etainne, in France. "I spent one month in Liberia, a week in Sierra Leone and ten days in Senegal. I visited Portugal and Moorish Spain and am tremendously impressed with the beauty of Africa and especially of Liberia and its future opportunities. "I was sent by the Foreign Relations Committee of the National Association of Colored Women to attend the third Pan-African Congress. This Cngress held one session in London in November, one in Lisbon in December. The sessions were not as largely attended as in the case of the Second Congress but the territory reached was greater. The reports were more definite and interesting and the interest developed in the movement, both among Negroes and European nations is growing. Europe Watching American Negro "Especially was the strength and importance of the rising black population of Portugal and her colonies shown. The interest of European countries, especially colonial powers, in the development of the American Negro is astonishing. The American Negro on the one hand stands for what the race may accomplish and on the other hand stands as a sort of warning to colonial powers as to what the race may demand. There is not a single colonial power with possessions in Africa that is not watching, through literature and personal representatives, every development of the Negro problem in America." OHIO LEGISLATOR RAISES Detroit, Mich., Mar. 28.—Harry E. Davis, of Cleveland, member of the Ohio legislature, addressed a meeting of thirty-four colored citizens here on March 7, in the Second Baptist church, and obtained cash subscriptions and pledges to the work of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, amounting to $635. At the meeting plans were laid for an intensive financial campaign for the N. A. A. C. P., to include social, fraternal and civic bodies. Cambridge, Md., March 28.—Race waitresses dismissed from the freshman dormitories are wanted back by the authorities who find they have to pay white girls more money. Chicago, Ill., March 28.—Hundreds of girl workers in the dress and waist factory are out on strike for ten per cent in pay and 40 hours per week. For the first time these race girls are picketing the factories and urging scab workers of the South not to accept employment.

SILLY, SENSELESS SNOBBISHNESS THERE has been brought to the attention of The Monitor an incident which cannot be permitted to pass unreubaked. It is this: A new days ago a young woman of the race telephoned to one of the leading beauty parlor of the city and to avoid any embarrassment frankly stated her race and inquired if she might have some work done there. The proprietor advised her that they did not draw the color line in their business and that they would be pleased to serve her, adding that they had colored people in their employ. The young woman made an appointment and promptly kept it. She was courteously received by the proprietor and in her turn was assigned to the booth of one of the hairdressers who is a young colored woman and has the reputation of being one of the most skillful in the employ of this well-known firm. This girl indignant, refused to do the customer's work, refused to do the white customers' did the work willingly and cheerfully and rebuked the silly and snobbish colored woman who refused to work on one this upon the part of anybody who lays claim to ordinary intelligence or even common sense is inexcusable. It betrays the absence of both. It discloses a silliness and snobbishness which all right-thinking people will condemn. Instead of showing a willingness to cooperate with the broad-minded white proprietor, who took whatever risk or assumed risk in the loss of custom there might be—often more imaginary than real—in refusing to discriminate against suitable colored patrons and thus lessen discrimination, this foolish young woman became a party to the promotion of the very thing which we are anxious to see broken down and against which it practised against her, she would most loudly and indignantly protest. Fortunately, however, such silly, senseless snobbishness is rare among our people and we hope this young woman will repent of this her foolishness. THE JUDICIARY IN the approaching election great care should be taken to elect men of ability, fair-mindedness and judicial temperament to the judiciary. Our people, especially, should be deeply concerned in the kind of men who are chosen to the important position of judge either in the minor or major courts. As a rule the men who have been chosen to the district bench in this city have been men of high class. Those seeking re-nomination have rendered good service. Among the other aspirants for the bench are men of legal ability, large experience and broad-mindedness whom we believe will be fair to all classes. Of these there are some who in their attitude towards and dealings with our group are such as to commend them to our favorable consideration. Our advice is to carefully scrutinize the character, reputation and attitude towards us of those who are asking for our votes. If they have been on the bench and have striven to be fair and unbiased towards all classes they are entitled to support. If they have not been on the bench they can only be judged by their general character and reputation. We must be careful not to be swayed by unproven rumors or charges and so be prejudiced to do an injustice to any worthy man. We should do our best to obtain reliable information concerning candidates for the judiciary and then support those whom we think best qualified to serve. ```markdown ``` PAGE TWO naturalized in the United States, on thereof, are citizens of the state wherein they reside. No any law which shall abridge the citizens of the United States; nor person of life, liberty, or prop- law, nor deny to any person final protection of the laws. JUDGE HASTINGS THE MONITOR desires to commend to the favorable consideration of our voters, Judge Hastings who is reputed to be one of the most learned and ablest judges upon the District Bench. We do so because he is a comparative stranger here. As Chancellor of the Law School of the University of Nebraska he took a special interest in encouraging students of our group to take advantage of their educational opportunities. He has been deeply interested in the education of our people. This bespeaks the character of the man. For this reason we commend Judge Hastings, who is a candidate for renomination to the loyal and enthusiastic support of our people. FOR NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN WE believe that the best qualified man for the important position of National Committeeman is Charles A. McCloud of York. He is a man of broad experience and wide political influence and as such will be given recognition on the National Committee which it will be impossible for a less prominent man to secure. Elect McCloud. CLERK OF DISTRICT COURT ROBERT SMITH who has administered the affairs of his office as Clerk of the District Court with efficiency and marked ability is a candidate for renomination and election. His record is one to which he can point with pride. His office has been run without cost to the taxpayers, being made to pay its way. It is admittedly one of the best handled offices in Douglas county. Our people have representation in his clerical force. He is entitled to reelection. Vote for him. URGES MEMBERS TO VOTE THE YOUNG WOMEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION has sent letters to its members urging them to register and vote in the primary and subsequent elections as a patriotic and Christian duty. The Omaha branch in doing this is complying with the resolution of the National Convention at Cleveland in 1920, "to use its resources to further the preparation of women for responsible citizenship and to direct their energies toward the achievement of social righteousness." The letter from the Omaha branch among other things says, "We urge Nebras Nebraska Civil Rights Bill Chapter Thirteen of the Revised Statutes of Nebraska, Civil Rights. Enacted in 1898. Sec. 1. Civil rights of persons. All persons within this state shall be entitled to a full and equal enjoyment of the accommodations, advantages, facilities and privileges of inns, restaurants, public conveyances, barber shops, theatres and other places of amusement; subject only to the conditions and limitations established by law and applicable alike to every person. Sec. 2. Penalty for Violation of Preceding Section. Any person who shall violate the foregoing section by denying to any person, except for reasons of law applicable to all persons, the full enjoyment of any of the accommodations, advantages, facilities, or privileges enumerated in the foregoing section, or by aiding or inciting such denials, shall for each offense be guilty of a misdemeanor, and be fined in any sum not less than twenty-five dollars, nor more than one hundred dollars, and pay the costs of the prosecution. "The original act was held valid as to citizens; barber shops can not discriminate against persons on account of color. Messenger vs State, 25 Nebr. page 677. N. W. 688." "A restaurant keeper who refuses to serve a colored person with refreshments in a certain part of his restaurant, for no other reason than that he is colored, is civilly liable, though he offers to serve him by setting a table in amore private part of the house. Ferguson vs Gies, 82 Mich. 358; N. W. 718." that you do all in your power to urge men and women in Omaha to use the right to franchise which after all is the true expression of the mind of the people." We call attention to this signifirant action upon the part of the Y. W. C. A. as indicating the right attitude all American citizens should take in political campaigns. There are those who regard political activity as an unholy thing, to be left to a few politicians. Taking an active and intelligent part in politics is a patriotic and religious duty. THE WHATNOT COLUMN (For the Associated Negro Press) 107—Who is called "The Apostle of Education?" Education Daniel A. Payne sometimes called "The Apostle of Education" was born in Charleston, S. C. By trade, he was a carpenter and taught school in his native city until forced to close by the slave holders; whereupon he left the city. In 1840 he joined the Philadelphia Conference of the A. M. E. Church as a local preacher, and after having served churches at Washington, Baltimore and other cities, he was elected a bishop. in 1863, he purchased for the A. M. E. Church, Wilberforce University in the state of Ohio, and the success that this school has attained is due largely to his efforts. He died in Wilberforce in 1893 being at the time president of the Payne Theological Seminary at that place. 108—Who was Phillis Wheatley? In the year of 1761 there arrived in Boston Harbour a slave ship, among whose cargo was a little slave girl whose only clothing was a small piece of dirty carpet. Among those who were impressed by the apparent intelligence of this young slave was Mrs. John Wheatley who finally purchased her, and through kind treatment and encouragement, Phillis, the name given her by Mrs. Wheatley) learned easily and developed a talent for poetry. Phillis Wheatley eventually wrote a book of 40 poems, whose literary merit disposed some to question their origin; and she finally became one of the most noted writers of her day. 109—Who is the world's champion bricklayer? James Meriwether, a Negro laid 12,000 bricks in 2 hours; an average of 100 bricks per minute. It required 12 men to wait on him. This feat was accomplished at Elberton, Ga., and is believed to be a record. John Martin while working on a State road near Grafton, W. Virginia, laid 42,000 bricks of 10½ lbs. each (200 tons) in 8 hours, an average of 87 bricks per minute. Martin has been known to lay 90 bricks in 30 seconds and is the champion brick-layer. Included in he 7,511 colored restaurant, cafe, and lunch room keepers are 3,455 women. Grant S Wayne, Republican Candidate for LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR Your support is earnestly solicited Primaries April 8, 1924 ka Civil Rig of the Revised Statutes of Neb THE MONITOR LETTERS FROM OUR READERS Konecky States Platform Editor of The Monitor, Dear Sir: I am a candidate for City Commissioner. If the present administration seeks re-election, it must show that its past record qualifies retention in office. Need I review for you the shameful and scandalous administration of our City Government by our present commissioners? You know, as well as I do, that with the exception of a very few men, the rest are absolutely controlled by an organized invisible gang, that has for its object the violation of law, which is a menace to our Republic. Your commissioners have made you plenty of promises before the election (they always do) but have done nothing for the great mass of the people of our city. I believe that the principal business of the city is to take care of its people. Now, where does the care of its people begin? With the care of the mothers of the new generation; with the care of the children before they are born. If I am elected I shall undertake to provide city care of poor mothers, medical care before and after birth of children and when necessary, material aid to them. This care would be given through the Department of Charities and the Welfare Department. The latter must be entirely re-organized into a useful function to our City Government. Municipal nurseries where children of mothers who have to work could be cared for during the day, (this reference of course, to children under kindergarten age), better schools, more schools, more teachers (consequently no overworked teachers), better and more sanitary transportation, more cars, cleaner cars, better ventilated cars during the summer and better heated cars during the winter, the free administration of justice to employees against employers who refuse to pay wages due.) If I am elected I shall use my power in stopping the waste and squandering of the peoples money in running the City Government. Do you know that it cost $13,479,455 to run this city (per capital for every woman, man and child in this city $67.15). Isn't it outrageous, and where does the money go to? The City Hall is full of political pie eaters doing nothing and drawing fat salaries. City taxes have become so high that it is impossible for the people to pay them, the result being that homes are being broken up and business people are crushed to the wall. The only remedy to eliminate this dangerous condition is to cut down the pay roll of unnecessary office holders, which automatically will cut down expenses.

Klaver, deputy county assessor who is the republican candidate for county assessor is making a whirlwind campaign to win the nomination. From the reports coming to Klaver's headquarters, Klaver is expected to win by a substantial majority, according to Henry J. Beal, county attorney who is assisting in the directing of Klaver's campaign. Klaver should receive almost the unanimous vote of the colored people. 409 JEFFREY He has been our friend for years and during his four years as deputy, Klaver has made hundreds of friends. "I have known Mr. Klaver since my arrival in Omaha," said John Adams, attorney who is one of the officers of the Klaver for county assessor club. He has made an efficient and honorable record as deputy and should receive the support of the voters." Mr. Klaver has a wide acquaintance among our people. They know him. They know his pledge for taxes means not lower taxes in the newspapers and higher taxes on tax receipts but a promise that he will make every effort to reduce taxes especially that of the small home owner. Mr. Klaver is a home owner and knows what it means to pay taxes. He was raised and educated in the Omaha public schools. Women workers on primary day will make every effort among our own people to get out the vote and to impress on the voters mind to remember and vote for S. E. Klaver for county assessor. WASHINGTON COUNTY BAR ENDORSES JUDGE HASTINGS Judge Hastings, candidate for reelection and for nomination at the Non-partisan Primary on April 8th, is very proud of having received from Blair the following endorsement of his candidacy signed by the entire bar of Washington County: "This letter is to call your attention particularly to the man lately appointed to fill Congressman Sears' place, Hon W. C. Hastings. Judge Hastings is a man of modest and retiring disposition, and therefore probably not well known to political workers and to the public generally; but to lawyers and litigants who have had occasion to appear in his court it has been demonstrated that no one could be selected for the bench better qualified. Judge Hastings has practiced law in Nebraska for many years, was Judge of the 7th District for eight years, Commissioner of the Supreme Court for three years, and Dean of the University of Nebraska College of Law for a number of years. His integrity, ability and industry are of the highest order and place him in the front rank of Nebraska jurists. For the foregoing reasons the undersigned members of the bar recommend that in the Primary and Fall election the name of Judge Hastings be included in the List of District Judges for whom you cast your vote.

Janesville, Wis.-Willeta Huggins, the deaf and blind girl who could read a newspaper by touch and distinguish colors by smell, has been cured. Her hearing in one ear is 95 per cent normal and in the other ear 40 per cent normal, and her power of seeing is 50 per cent normal. Willeta is eighteen years old. "Faith Cured Me." "Faith in God cured me, nothing else," explained the young girl when a number of noted physicians called at her home, near Janesville, Wis., to permit the girl to prove her cure and also to prove that she retains the wonderful powers of touch and smell. The physicians, after a careful examination, announced that she is virtually cured. Miss Huggins has been partly blind and deaf since she was born. At times her condition would improve, and then soon it would decline until she was almost totally blind and deaf. Now, however, her senses of hearing and smelling seem to be growing stronger steadily. Miss Huggins was called a faker by many medical men and scientists when she first declared that she could read with her finger tips and see with her nose. To prove that she had not lied, the girl underwent some of the most rigid examinations science could arrange. Given a necktie in which the colors were so blended that they would confuse a person with normal sight, the girl named the colors without hesitation and without a mistake. A heavy blindfold was fastened over her eyes during the test: "Read" Newspaper. By passing her fingers over the pages she read a newspaper without a single mistake. A single hair was placed under five sheets of fairly heavy paper. Miss Huggins passed her fingers over the paper and pointed out the exact location of the hair. The remarkable cure of the young woman has caused physicians who made no comments on her powers of touch and smell to come to her support. They have declared that the scientists who called the girl a faker formed a snap judgment. They are sure that Willeta is cured. Historical Ring Is New Haven, Conn.—An oddly-shaped gold ring, thought to have been owned by British royalty and tallying in detail with one which disappeared from the English court in 1610, was found by Charles Burns, hoseman of the local fire department, in the sand near Thimble islands in Long Island sound, off the Connecticut shore. Thimble islands are noted as having been a rendezvous of the famous Captain Kidd, and it is believed the ring was a part of the pirate's loot. The ring is composed of four bands, joined by clasped hands. The nearest resemblance to it, delivers into history find, was worn by Lady Catherine Grey, and signified her marriage with the earl of Hertford. Queen Elizabeth, displeased with the union, sent Hertford to the tower of London and subjected Lady Catherine to many hardships until the validity of the marriage was proved. The marriage was dissolved later by a commission in 1562. Manila.—The production of flour out of a grain known as "aday," as a substitute for wheat flour in the tropics, is recommended by officials of the Department of Agriculture. The development of the aday industry, it is declared, would, in a large measure make the Philippines independent of outside sources of flour. Director of Agriculture Hernandez in a letter to the director of commerce and industry, requests his co-operation in producing aday on a large scale in the Philippines. Director Hernandez suggests that the government under take the milling of aday, which grows well here, as long as private capital hesitates to invest money in the erection of mills. Largest Grain Port Montreal, Quebec—Grain handled at the port of Montreal In 1923 to tailed 120,013,938 bushels, the largest amount shipped through any port in North America during the year. Montreal thus maintains for the third consecutive year her position as the leading grain exporting seaport of the continent. Eatonville, Wash. — Fishing through a crack in the floor a pupil of the Mountainside country school near here pulled up a watch and some chains. Miss Karyl Owen, the teacher, investigated. In a small dugout beneath the schoolhouse was found a cache of jewelry, clothing, cigars, hardware and books. The box with jewelry was directly under the fishing hole. Pierce county authorities have taken charge of the buried treasure and are investigating the source of the wealth. Defined "Sambo, What's a university?" "A university am a place where they teach yuh to stawve to death in a gentlemunly an' cultured mannah." —Life. Two laws are more adequate to the regulation of the whole Christian community than all the political institutions together—namely, the love of God and that of our neighbor. GERMANS ASK PRICE FOR DISEASE CURE Want Colonies Back for Sleep Sickness Remedy. Bremen.—Unconditional restoration of Germany's colonies and prewar rights is the price demanded by the German Colonial society for a new remedy for the prevention of sleeping sickness. The society expresses the belief that Germany in the remedy has a powerful political weapon in hand which places her in a position to force revocation of the colonial mandates executed under the Versailles treaty. "Germany holds the key to central Africa in the remedy," says Doctor Zache, well known as a colonial expert. He expresses the belief that the remedy for sleeping sickness and tsetse fever is destined to convert central Africa into a prosperous, fertile country, inhabited by an industrious people. "No colonies, no remedy," is the ultimatum of Edonard Achelis, chairman of the Brennean section of the German Colonial society. He suspects that this stand may provoke the charge of inhumanity, but he reminds his critics of the allied "hunger blockade." German colonial enthusiasts have demanded that the German government immediately protect the remedy against undue exploitation by the entente powers. Says North Pole Has Nice Summer Climate Seattle, Wash.-The airship Shenandoah, on the United States navy's expedition to the North pole next summer, will not and temperatures as low as those of this winter on the Atlantic seaboard. This is the belief of M. B. Summers, weather observer here, who established the government meteorological station at Point Barrow, where Alaska juts farthest north into the Arctic ocean. Mr. Summers said that the coldest June day recorded at Point Barrow, which is 1,117 miles from the pole, was 12 degrees above zero and the coldest July day 26 above. The range last June was from 23 degrees above to 56 above. The Shenandoah is more likely to encounter rain than snow, in the opinion of Mr. Summers. "Toward the pole, it will naturally be colder than at Barrow," he said; "considerably so. If there is no large body of land between Alaska and the pole. If there is an Arctic continent or a large island, radiation from the sun's rays will make it warmer and more nearly the temperature of Barrow. But, in any event, I do not believe there will be no temperatures at the pole in July or late June." A. C. W. Dr. Frederick B. Power of the United States bureau of chemistry, the discoverer of chaumlooogra oil used in the treatment of leprosy, is at work on a unique method of checking the boll weevil of the Southern cornfields. Doctor Power is working on a new odor, which is to come from an extract of such delicious smell—to boll weevils—that the pests will follow its trail into a trap where they can be killed at leisure. He will probably succeed for he usually does what he sets out to do. Malay Tribe Backward at Men of Stone Age Heldelidm—All races of the world have shown more or less predilection toward civilization, excepting a tribe of Malays in the wilds of one of the Celebes islands in the Dutch West Indies, asserts Professor Baseler, an anthropologist of Vienna, writing in a German medical Journal. These natives are all left-handed, chew their food with a grinding motion of the jaw, like an ape, have long arms, live in trees and use their feet as well as their hands in nearly everything they attempt to do. It was at the beginning of the Bronze age, avers the professor, that man began to use his right hand, a sure sign of civilization, but the natives of the Celebes are much further removed today from any social development than they were in the Stone age. French More Healthy Paris.—Medical records show that the general health of French girls is improving, due in large measure to their growing interest in and adoption of outdoor sports. Chlorosis, a form of anemia or blood deficiency, once prevalent, has almost entirely disappeared. Denver, Colo., Mar. 28—After living fourteen years with a colored family, with whom she had been left at birth by her white parents, a girl said to be Mary Cole, has gone back to the white race. She learned the secret of her life from the woman she thought her mother just before the latter died. FIRST TO CONTRIBUTE TO COMMUNITY CHEST (By the Associated Negro Press) Tampa, Fla., March 28.—This city is the 171st to adopt the Community Chest budget policy as a method of raising money to finance its various social welfare agencies. A goal of $179,000, totalling the budgets of the 16 organizations taking part, has been set, and the campaign lasts from March 25 to March 29. The first subscription to the Community chest came from a Negro club, the Busy Merry Makers, in the form of a check for one hundred dollars, along with the offer of the services of the club to the chest campaign committee to do whatever is possible to make the campaign a success.—By Jesse O.
