WORKS PROVE THEIR FAITH Devote Hundreds of Thousands Annually to Colored Schools, Churches and Other Welfare Work. Atlanta, Ga., April 25.-The attitude of the Southern Methodist Church on the question of race relations having been called in question in a recent newspaper report, members of that denomination in this city point out that the Church's attitude is not properly to be judged by the utterances of a relatively small group (as was the case in the report referred to), but by the statements and policies of the supreme bodies representing the whole denomination. These, it is claimed, are uniformly earnest, fair, and brotherly, calling on the whole Church to study and discharge its duty in this matter in the light of Christian principles. For example, in 1918 the General Conference, the supreme legislative body of the whole Church, adopted the following: "There must be real, sympathetic co-operation between the leaders of the two races. National, state and neighborhood conferences should be held, at which there should be frank interchange of opinions concerning traveling, housing, educational, moral and religious conditions; followed by an earnest effort to understand the cause of bad feeling and open friction, and the prompt and positive condemnation of all acts of injustice by whomsoever committed, whether white or black. The thoughtful Christian leaders of the two races must not permit the excesses of radicals and extremists to prevent the development of plans for larger sympathy and closer co-operation between the white people and the Negroes." In 1922, the same body took the following action by unanimous vote: following action by unanimous vote. "We recognize the seriousness of the question of the relations between the white and colored races, especially in our land. It is our conviction that the Church should openly declare its responsibility and its duty seriously to set itself to the task of aiding in the solution of these perplexing problems by the application of Christian principles. "We believe it to be exceedingly important that our pastors lay this matter upon the consciences of our people in order that our relations with the colored people may be characterized by patience, justice, and Christian love. "We think that our Social Service Commission should be authorized—indeed, perhaps instructed—to cooperate with the Commission on Interracial Co-operation in the South, and we ask all Methodist people to assist as they have the opportunity in the formation of local groups which shall endeavor to establish better relations between the races." The Conference further advised the various boards of the Church to incorporate the study of race relations in their general and local programs. Equally significant is the attitude of the Woman's Missionary Council, which heads the organized woman's work of the whole Church, as set forth in the following resolutions adopted in 1920: Omaha Team I Secretary Hans Reis, of the Omaha Western League Ball Club, assisted by Dick Grotte, president of the Tri-State League, and other enterprising sportsmen, have spent a very busy week preparing for the home-coming of the Omaha Buffaloes, for their first game on the home lot Tuesday afternoon at 3:30. The afternoon promises to be a gala day for fan and fanettes who will crowd into the Vinton street home of the Buffaloes. Wichita, many time league leaders will be the visitors and they are to be met by an angry herd of Buffaloes who are out to avenge the defeats they met at the hands of the Bald-headed Izziies this week. It has been rumored about that Mayor Jim will declare a half holiday Tuesday so that all employed fans will have an opportunity of looking this season's team over. There are many new faces on the club and de- THE MONITOR "What's the matter, Tootsie?" "Susie won't let me ride in her doll carriage!" "Susie, why won't you let Tootsie ride?" "She sat in it once and look at it now!" "RESOLVED: 1. That as Christians and workers in God's kingdom we accept his challenge to show forth his power to settle racial differences, thereby setting before the whole world an example of the power of Christianity to meet interracial crises everywhere. "2. That we set ourselves definitely to the task by the creation of a Commission on Race Relationships, which shall study the whole question of race relationships, the needs of Negro women and children, and the methods of co-operation by which better relations may be brought about." In 1921 the Council provided that in every local group an interracial committee should be organized, to seek a sympathetic basis of co-operation with leaders among Negro women of the community, to study the conditions and needs of colored people in the matters of housing, sanitation, schools, churches, etc., and to make a study also of "Negro achievements in literature, poetry, music, art and other lines of endeavor, that there may be sympathetic appreciation of the Negro's contribution to American life in these lines." It is pointed out that the Southern Methodist Church has for years been contributing to Negro education, and of late quite generously, $750,000 of Centenary money having been set apart as an additional fund for this purpose. It maintains a number of social service centers for colored people, appropriates thousand of dollars annually to supplement the salaries of underpaid preachers in the C. M. E. Church, and conducts two summer schools for colored pastors. It is believed that this record of sympathetic interest and co-operation should be allowed to speak for the Church on this question, rather than the probably well meant, but ill-considered statements of any small and sectional group. SOME ANCIENT STONE (By The Associated Negro Press) Nashville, Tenn., April 25—R. M. Johnson of Morristown has written a letter to the state geologist, informing the latter that he, Johnson, is in possession of the identical stone with which the boy, David, slew the giant Goliath. Johnson claims the stone has been in possession of his family from biblical days and has been passed down. He has no children and wants to turn it over to some responsible agency which may ascertain its value and preserve it.

Lawrence James, jumped at the risk of his life and brought the unconscious man to shore. spite the record they have made so far this season, Omaha has reason to believe that we have a real organization of ball players. Many fans have squawked about the showing of the team but they want to remember that on Wednesday morning the New York Yankees occupied the same place in American League standing as did the locals in the Western. The team is going to go good, we believe, and one of the greatest encouragements they can receive is by your attendance; attend the game on Tuesday and as often thereafter as possible. Batteries have not been announced for the opener but it is possible that Tiny Harry Lee or Big Bill Bailey will fling them over to Red Wilder, behind the pan. Box reservations can be made at the regular down town stations at this time. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV.

BEATS DAILIES ON STREETS (By The Associated Negro Press) Kansas City, Mo., April 25.—White dailies with extras telling the results of the recent election here were 17 minutes behind the Kansas City Call local Negro weekly. The Call was out with an extra, carrying the pictures of successful candidates, and returns, which whites and Negroes were buying until the dailies could get going. He was black but comely. Natur gave him a royal body, nobly planned and proportioned, and noted for its great strength. There was that in his countenance, which bespoke a mind within to match the body, a mind of uncommon native intelligence, force of will, and capacity to dominate others. His manners were at once abrupt and crafty, his temper was imperious, his passions and impulses were those of a primitive ruler, and his heart was the heart of a lion. He was often referred to as an old man, but he was not an old man, when he died on the gallows at Charlestown, S. C., July 2, 1822. (No, he was by no means an old man, whether judged by length of years or strength of body, for he was on that memorable July day, seventy-eight years ago not more than fifty-six years old, although the hair on his head and face was then probably white. This circumstance and the preeminence accorded him by his race neighbors, might account for the references to him, as to that of an old man). All things considered, he was truly an extraordinary man. It is impossible to say where he was born, or who were his parents. He was, alas! as far as my knowledge of his personal history goes, a man without a past. He might have been born of slave parentage in the West Indies, or of royal ones in Africa, where, in that case, he was kidnapped and sold subsequently into slavery in America. I had almost said that he was a man without a name. He is certainly a man without ancestral name. For the name to which he answered up to the age of fourteen, had been lost forever. After that time he has been known as Denmark Vesey. Denmark is a corruption of Telemaque, the praenomen bestowed upon him at that age by a new master, and Vesey was the cogmone of that master who was captain of an American vessel engaged in the African slave trade between the islands of St. Thomas and Santo Domingo. It is on board of Captain Vesey's slave vessel that we catch the earliest glimpse of our hero. Deeply interesting moment is that, which revealed thus to us the Negro lad, deeply interesting and tragical for one and the same cause. This first appearance of him upon the stage of history occurred in the year which ended virtually the war for American Independence 1781, during the passage between St. Thomas and Cap Fracais, of Captain Vesey's slave bark with a cargo of 390 slaves. The lad, Telemaque, was a part of that sad cargo, undistinguished at the outset of the voyage from the rest of the human freight. Of the 389 others, we FLIRTING CRACKER JAILED New York, April 25—John Elliott, white, of Georgia, was sentenced to five days in the work house for flirting with Miss Estelle Richardson on the subway.

Grimke PART I (By The Associated Negro Press) THE HERO'S EARLY CAREER know absolutely nothing. Not an incident, nor a token, not even a name has floated to us across the intervening years, from all that multitudinous misery, from such an unspeakable tragedy, except that the ship reached its destination, and the slaves were sold. Like boats that pass at see, that slave vessel loomed for a lurid instant on the horizon, and was gone forever—all but Denmark Vesey. How it happened that he did not vanish with the rest of his ill-fated fellows, will be set down in this paper, which has essayed to describe the slave plot which he planned, with which his name is identified, and by which it ought to be, for all time, hallowed in the memory of every man, woman and child of Negro descent in America. On that voyage Captain Vesey was strongly attracted by the "beauty, intelligence and alertness" of one of the slaves on board. So were the ship's officers. This particular object of interest, on the part of the slave traders was a black boy of fourteen summers. He was quickly made a sort of ship's pet and plaything, receiving new garments from his admirers, and the high sounding name, as I have already mentioned, of Telemaque, which in slave lingo was subsequently metamorphosed into Denmark. The lad found himself in sudden favor, and lifted above his companions in bondage by the brief and idle regard of that ship's company. Brief and idle, indeed, was the interest which he had aroused in the breasts of those men, (as the sequel showed.) But while it lasted it seemed doubtless very genuine to the boy, as such evidences of human regard must have afforded him, in his forlorn state, the keenest pleasure. Bitter, therefore, must have been his disappointment and grief to find, at the end, that he had, in reality, no hold whatever upon the slave of the slave captain. True he had been separated by Captain and officers from the other slaves during the voyage, but this ephemeral distinction was speedily lost for upon the arrival of the vessel at France, (for) he was (then) sold as a he had not been to those men so much as even a pet cat or dog, as they had done with him. He had served their --- RADIO FANS AGAINST CAPITAL PUNISHMENT (By The Associated Negro Press) Ossining, N.

Love, radio fans voted 568 to 501 against it. WANTS IMMIGRATION LAWS UNRESTRICTED (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., April 25.—In a letter sent to its patrons and other interested persons, the National City Bank of this city suggests advantages that might accrue to America from unrestricted immigration and the possible disadvantages to the very people restriction is designed to help by the employment of such methods. Restricted immigration thus far has brought about the emigration of Negroes from the South and the National City Bank writes: "...this is producing serious effects in short cotton crops and very high prices for cotton goods. Now, with boll weevil to purpose, had killed for them the dull days of a dull sail between ports, and he a boy with warm blood in his heart, and hot yearnings for love in his soul. But the slave youth, so beautiful and attractive, was not to live his life in the island of St. Domingo, or to terminate just then his relations with the ship and her officers, however much Captain Vesey had intended to do so. For Fate, by an unexpected circumstance threw, for better and tor worse, master and slave together again, after they had apparently parted forever in the slave mart of the Cape. This is how Fate played the unexpected in the boy's life. According to a local law for the regulation of the slave trade in that place, the seller of a slave of unsound health might be compelled by the buyer to take him back, upon the production of a certificate to the effect from the royal physician of the port. The purchaser of Telemaque availed himself of this law to redeliver him to Captain Vesey on his return voyage to St. Domingo. For the loyal physilian of the town had meanwhile certified that the lad was subject to epileptic fits. The act of sale was thereupon cancelled, and the old relations of master and slave between Captain Vesey and Telemaque, were resumed. Thus, without design, perhaps, however passionately he might have desired it, the boy found himself again on board of his old master's slave vessel, where he had been petted and elevated in favor high above his fellow-slaves. I say perhaps advisedly, for I confess that it is by no means clear to me whether those epileptic fits were real or whether they were in truth feigned, and therefore the initial ruse de guerre of that bright young intelligence in its long battle with slavery. However, I do not mean to consume space with speculations on this head. Suffice to say that Telemaque's condition was improved by the event. Nor had Captain Vesey any cause to quarrel with the fate which returned to him the beautiful Negro youth. For it is recorded that for twenty years thereafter he proved a faithful servant to the old slave trader, who, retiring in due course of time from his black business, took up his abode in Charlestown, S. C., where Dennan went to live with him. There in his new home, dame fortune again remembered her protege, turning her formidable wheels a second time in his favor. It was then that Dennan grown to manhood, drew the grand prize of freedom. He was about thirty-four years old when this immense boon came to him. (Continued next week) 27 TO content with, more intensive cultivation is required to produce the cotton crop and this means more labor. As cotton goods are the common clothing of the people, this restriction of the cotton crop affects all classes of people, but those most seriously affected are the wage workers who are thought to be benefited by the exclusion of European labor. As usually is the case with legislation expected to benefit a class, there are unfavorable results for that class in roundabout and unforeseen ways." AFRICA HAS THE LARGEST ORANGE ORCHARD IN THE WORLD (By The Associated Negro Press) The largest single orange orchard in the world is located in South Africa and the industry of orange cultivation has reached such proportions that it is predicted by an American expert whose services are being utilized in the development of the industry that South Africa will have 7,000,000 boxes of oranges available for export in 1930. Probably no phase of South African agriculture, and perhaps no single phase of South African economic life, has as bright prospects as has fruit cultivation. It has been said that there is no place in South Africa where some fruit will not grow and thrive. Apples, apricots, avocado pears, bananas, cherries, gooseberries, figs, grapefruit, lemons, limes, pineapples, plums, quinces, melons, olives, oranges and peaches have gown in the Union on a commercial scale. HOWARD UNL PRESIDENJT SAYS NEGROES NEED 2,000 PREACHERS EACH YEAR (Lincoln News Service) Washington, April 25.—"Religious Needs of the American Negro" were recently pointed out by Dr. J. Stanley Durkee, President of Howart University, when he addressed the Churchmen's Club. He said it is estimated that 2,000 trained Negro preachers are needed annually to provide for the race's religious needs. "Only 65 are graduated now from educational institutions, and of this number the majority are from Howard University," said Dr. Durkee. It was stated that the university hopes to raise $500,000 for religious educational purposes, which, "if gotten on foot," said an alumnus, "would be safely guarded from any such calamities as befall the appropriation for Howard's Medical School."

Schlaifer-Shade Schlaifer-Shade Battle Tonight Schlaifer-Shade Battle Tonight --- It is the prediction of the boys around the sporting hangouts of the city that somebody whose name commences with "S" is going to get an awful trimming this evening over at the city fight palace on 15th and Howard Streets. Some are strong in the belief that the "champion of Omaha," Morrie Schlaifer will knock Mr. Dave Shade of California and New York City for a goal, while others (and they seem in the largest numbers) figure that the speedy southpaw from both coasts will coax the birds to sing a good-night lullaby over the prone form of Omaha's fighting fool, who is again a welter-weight. It was first announced by the Theodore Koosevelt Post of the American Legion, who are sponsoring the show that Morrie would appear as a middle-weight against Shade.

In connection with funeral ceremonies at Sazebo the navy department made public to the nation, letters and wills found in the navy submarine 43 which sank in 26 fathoms of water off Sazebo harbor on March 19. Typical of the phrases written by the trapped and smothering men were these: "Long live the emperor." "We die, but we guard the empire after death." "In coming generations our spirits will serve the emperor." One letter jotted at intervals during the death watch vividly described the suffering as the end approached. It was not until several days after the crew had perished that the rescuers were able to raise the under sea craft. Morning newspapers devoted columns to the funeral accounts and letters. The publicity was calculated to improve the national morale as well as that of the navy and to offset the unpopularity of the submarine service, due to frequent fatal accidents. Admiral Okada, vice minister of the navy, in an interview with the newspaper Ashi said the Sazebo tragedy demonstrated the navy retains the splendid loyalty which we had feared somewhat undermined by dangerous foreign ideas. DETROIT MANUFAC: TURER WILLS $2,500 TO COLORED COOK (Lincoln News Service) Hagerstown, Md., April 25.—The will of John G.

The "Kid" has tasted defeat at Davie's hands on two occasions and now especially since Shade has challenged the champion, Mickey Walker for a battle, does Morrie want to clean his slate. Should he win from Shade it will either place he or Warnie Smith in line for a titular battle, the goal of every aspiring and perspiring pug. Charlie Long, local colored witter, wilt meet Al Van Ryan of St. Paul in an 8-round preliminary and the wires are hot after a real opponent for Battling Munroe, but a lot of the good light-heavies are sort of leary of meeting Munroe, who makes it a rule not to let his man stay over 4 rounds. The Bige-Hudkins match has been cancelled, the boxing commission refused to lift the suspension on Hudkins. If no suitable match can be made for Bige, it is very possible that Tiny Herman will be seen in action. Nuf sed, the seats are still available at $1, $2 and $3.

BOYS' WEEK NEXT week is to be observed as Boys' Week. Its purpose to make the community realize what a valuable asset it has in boyhood and to develop and conserve this asset. It is also designed to make the boy realize his worth to the community and to address himself to the earnest task of making himself all that he should be. A full program, beginning, where it should begin, Sunday, with the boy's religious life, and continuing throughout the week, emphasizing all phases of his life and activities has been planned. Omaha is most fortunate in that the Men's Service League, which is sponsoring this worth-while movement, is composed of many of Omaha's biggest men, physically, morally and mentally, and such men do things in the right way. The program includes all the boys of Omaha, without respect to race or creed. James C.

Rev. I. B. Smith was called to Hastings last Monday where he preached at the funeral of J. S. Craig, a prominent citizen of that city. Mr. Craig was a member of Marvin Lodge No. 5, A. F. & A.

Mrs. Melissa Harding of Chilocotha, Mo., is visitig her daughter, Mrs. J. A. Patrick, here. Easter services were begun early at M. Zion Baptist church, the first services being held at 6 a. m. and following Sunday school. The children rendered a fine program, consisting of songs and recitations, which was greatly enjoyed by all. The pastor preached at 12 o'clock, his subject being "Risen Christ". Immediately following the B. Y. P. U. at night the choir presented the cantata, "The Risen Christ", which was without a doubt most excellently rendered under the direction of Miss Opal Ashford, and Mrs. Nettie McDonald at the piano. Miss Ashford's voice was clear and modulate. Each individual did well their parts. All in all the entire rendition of the piece was highly enjoyed by the well filled house. Rev. G. W. Carter was transferred from Lincoln to Manhattan. Kans., was appointed to Lincoln for the ensuing year. Maundy Thursday services were held by the Scottish Rite Masons at Masonic hall Thursday night, and Easter services were carried out on Sunday morning. Services were observed as follows at the A. M. E. church Sunday: After Sunday school the children exercises were rendered, being good. The pastor preached a fine sermon. In the evening the choir rendered their cantata, "The Last Words of Christ", which scored quite a commendation from the great crowd. HARRY S.

Our young ladies in Oklahoma City have organized a business and professional Girls' Club. W. G. Banks of St. Louis is president of the People's Overall and Shirt Manufacturing Company. The naming of the "ten greatest" does not necessarily call for a list of the "ten smallest." Dr. Wilbur A. Drake of Norfolk has been appointed Assistant Surgeon to the Virginia Railway and Power Co. When you catch a democratic senator with the goods on his person, he howls that he has been "framed." In every group of 1,000 colored married women in the District of Columbia, 497 are engaged in gainful employment. It is difficult to make a defeated politician believe that "The voice of the people is the voice of God." Editor Walls of the Star of Zion wants the Zionists to cut out dancing—and they have been calling him a "Modernist." Our well known Cincinnati bachelor editor observes that very few men enjoy being kissed in public.

E. church for a union baptismal service at which the Rev. W. C. Williams will preach the sermon. Rev. E. H. McDonald, D. D., Pastor Easter services brought out large congregations. The pastor preached at all services. At the 11:00 o'clock service he delivered a scholarly sermon from the text, "Why seek ye the Living among the dead?" He passed in rapid review historic tombs of the illustrious dead, which still contain the ashes of those who had influenced their age and then showed there was only one tomb that proved an exception, that of Christ.

PAUL PRES- BYTERIAN CHURCH Twenty-sixth and Seward Streets— Russel Taylor, Pastor. At the morning services the Sun- day school children rendered an in- structive program on our mission work in Mexico. We are going to give more concern to our great mis- sienary programs than we have in the past, and we commend our super- intendent who, working under very unfavorable conditions, was able to put over the program and secure a contribution for our work in Mexico of $2.00 from the Sunday school chil- dren. ‘The pastor was very busy the fore part of the week attending the meet- ing of the Presbytery. By special re- quest of the stated clerk of Presby- tery he wag asked to address the body in behalf of St. Paul's. The impres- sion made was very favorable and there is little doubt but that St. Paul will receive more favorable considera- tion from the Presbytery. Ruling Elder Calvin H. Spriggs represented the church in Presbytery, Monday, and Ruling Elder R. T. Kerr perform- ed the same function Tuesday after- noon. To thus have our laymen in the Presbytery and higher courts of the church has been one of the pastor's greatest desires and means much to the church. When she shall have or- ganized our Women's Missionary So- ciety, which organization will be ef- fected very soon, then our women will have opportunity to meet with the women's organization of Presby- tery and Synod and thus by the con- tact become more familiar with the work and aims of the church. Mrs. H. B. Taylor accompanied by Mrs, Minnie Spriggs met the Wom- en’s Missionary Society of the North Presbyterian Church last Friday. Mrs, Taylor addressed the society in behalf of the general work of the church for our people with special emphasis on the work and needs of St. Paul's, With almost unanimous voice those present declared from the information given they had new light and hence new zeal for the work.

In fact ever since he conducted the concert given under the auspices of the Colored Commercial Club in the City Auditor- jum two years since, several promin- ent white citizens among them Mr. 8. S. Caldwell has urged to effect such an organization. There seems now to be a demand for such from our own people. There is no reason why that with the excellent musical talent in Omaha, there should not be such an organization. Its advantages are al- most limitless. To this end therefore 1 am issuing a call for all interested in an organ- ization to meet i the St, Paul Pres- byterian Chureh, Thursday, 8:00 p. m. that steps may be taken toward such an organization. Iam very j!eased to say that I en- couraged to take this step because of the fact that Mrs. Frederick Di- vers and Mrs. M. H. Reeves, the er- ficient organist of the Pilgrim Bap- tist church, both of whom are excep- tionally accomplished musicians both as to piano and voice, join me most. heartily in thig call—Russel Taylor.

The altar and chancel were beautifully decorated with Bast- er lilies and cut flowers and the cus- tomary lights including the tall Pas- chal candle, which symbolizes Christ's Presence during the great forty days between Easter and Ascension.

C.—"Though bread may pose as the pancake, the soome, the tortilla, the carta di musica, and the biscuit in various countries, getting the wherewithal to buy it or the preparation of it is of necessity one of the chief interests of man and woman in every clime—even though in the South sea islands it grows on trees," says a bulletin from the Washington (D. C.) headquarters of the National Geographic society. "The Arab woman digs a pit in the sand and builds a hot fire in it. Then she rakes away the embers and plasters her dough on the hot sides. When the bread is done, she picks it off with a pair of tongs. "Wrapping Paper" Bread. "The deliciously crisp Persian bread which is bought in enormous flat pancrease-like sheets sometimes 30 inches long, is prepared in a number of ways, but that customarily seen for sale in the capital city of Persia is baked in large ovens in which the dough is spread out on great piles of red-hot pebbles. And in olden days there was no profeitering in the staff of life in the Persian kingdom. A baker who left the straight and narrow path of his just profits was thrust into his own oven and nicely browned. "In some parts of the Arab kingdom the husband does the household marketing and after having purchased various necessary commodities, he then buys a large sheet of native bread, which is of doughlike pliability, and rolls up his purchases in it. "The Egyptian baker makes 'puff-balls,' because he wishes to get the largest loaf out of the smallest amount of flour. One writer describes it as a hole wrapped in a crust. The dough is rolled out as thin as a ple crust and the edges of two pieces joined all around; the heat does the rest. In Norway "Bread Hangs High." "The Ecuadorian woman follows a very interesting old custom. She bakes bread in the shape of people and animals for All Saints day. "The Sardinian housewife has a big baking day once every week. Flour is kneaded in large earthenware bowls and rolled very thin on a table that is so low that the cook must kneel before it. Nearly every home has its own flour mill made of black lava and fashioned almost like those unearthed at Pompei and Herculaneum. The woman performs the whole process of cleaning and grinding the wheat, lifting the flour, and baking the bread. She uses very little yeast and her baking must be done to a turn because the supply must last for a week. The large thin circular pieces are called 'carta di musica,' meaning paper to write music on. The well-known flat-bread of the Norwegian peasant is made by mixing coarse barley meal and water, rolling the dough thin and baking it over a round flat baking-stone under which a fire of fagots is kept burning. Enough of this bread is made at one baking to last a whole winter. Holes are punched in the cakes so that they can be strung on a pole and placed across the ceiling. It often happens in some of the peasant homes of northern Norway that a man can reach up and tear off a piece of this bread as he wants it. Tortillas for Mexicans. "In Syria the hearth is often two stones between which fagotars are placed and the bread is cooked on an iron plate placed on top. "Some of the Indian tribes of the Pacific slopes of the United States make a kind of flour from acorns which they soak in boiling water, mould into a flat cake and cook in the sun. The tortilla of the Mexican is almost as much a part of his costume or background as his huge peaked hat. It is a kind of flapjack which it takes a cultivated taste and a gastronomic trick or two to appreciate. It is made from Indian corn which has been parboiled and crushed into a paste and is baked on an iron or stone plate but not enough to make the tortilla brown. "Cassava root makes one of the principal foods of the people of tropical America. From the coarse meal, somewhat resembling oatmeal, thin round cakes are made. Scotch and Indians Have Scones. "In India the nates eat round, flat cakes of unleavened wheat bread called 'chapatties'. The cook shapes them with his hands and bakes them on a griddle on the coals. They resemble to some extent the thin sheets made of wheat flour and water, called scones, which are eaten in Scotland. "One of the most interesting of the unleavened breads is the Passover bread which has been used by orthodox Jews since the time of Moses. It is made much like the most primitive bread—a mixture of flour and water baked in round cakes—and resembles the calcined remains of cakes made from coarsely ground grain which have been recovered from the Swiss lake-dwellings of the Stone Age. In those days, however, the grains used were barley and a one-grained wheat. First Bread From Barley. First Bread from barley. "Egyptologists believe that barley was the first grain used by the ancients in their bread-making, but wheat must have come into use soon after barley. Loaves of bread are CHURCH BOMBED AT MIDNIGHT (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, L., April 25.—Investigation of an alleged dynamite plot has been begun by the police as a result of an explosion Sunny night which partly wrecked the St. John Baptist Church. At midnight, an hour after the Sunday services had been concluded, an explosion occurred un- represented in sculpture on ancle monuments. There were two quite familiar varieties—a small round loaf somewhat like our muffin and an elongated roll sprinkled on top with seeds like the modern Vienna roll. Incidentally the Vienna roll was introduced into the United States during the Civil war when a 'war bakery' operated in the basement of the United States capitol turned out products to feed the populace of Washington. "The Egyptians evidently first learned the use of leaven and taught it to the Greeks, Jews and Romans who passed it on through the nations they subjected. "No story on bread would be complete without at least a reference to the black bread of Russia, which has for so long been the staff of life to the masses. The United States has its distinctly typical forms of bread, such as the hoe-cake, the corn-pone and the 'spoon bread' of Dixie, and the rich brown mass that is served with Boston's Saturday night beans." Ancient Jade Axes Are Found in Philippines Washington.-Jade axes, which have retained their cutting edge despite their age of 20 centuries, are among the relics obtained as a result of the first year's archaeological investigation carried on in the Philippines under the leadership of Dr. Carl E. Guthe, a scientist sent out for that purpose by the University of Michigan, according to advices from Manila. These scientific explorations, it is declared, have revealed specimens of Chinese art as well as native Philippine relics dating back as far as 2,300 years, some of the specimens being from the Tang, Sung and Ming dynasties of China. In addition there are many specimens of native Filipino handwork which are expected to assist in clearing up beclouded points in the history of the islands. Among the relics discovered were a number of skulls, which have been classified by Doctor Guthe as of three types. The most primitive of these was associated with the Stone Age implements, though some of these were quite highly developed and evidently used for cutting and shaping timbers for ships or boats. The jade axes and adzes were found in the Pasig river at a depth of 20 feet or more. 1923 Was Greatest Year for Consumption of Meat Washington.—Production and consumption of meat was the greatest in American history last year. An estimate made recently by the Department of Agriculture placed the consumption at 18,481,000,000 pounds. Detailed estimates of production, however, were not made public. The per capita consumption was 167 pounds, or 17.3 pounds more than in 1922, when 170.9 pounds per capita were consumed. Total consumption was 2,000,000,000 pounds over the average for the last five years, and the per capita consumption was 18 pounds over the average. Ninety per cent of the increase was represented by pork products. The per capita consumption was: Beef, 62.5 pounds; veal, 7.9; mutton and lamb, 5.2; and pork, excluding lard, 91.4 pounds. Lard consumption was 16.4 pounds per capita. Operation Reduces Pain for Victims of Cancer Philadelphia.—Dr. William G. Spiller and Dr. Charles H. Frazier of the University of Pennsylvania hospital recently announced the perfection of an operation to relieve pain in persons suffering from incurable forms of cancer. The operation known as "chordomy" is a severing of the sensory nerves in the spinal column. It is performed only when the pain is too intense to be alleviated by drugs. Doctor Spiller said the operation would not be entirely successful in every case "since some pain fibers occasionally will escape the knife." It had been performed sufficiently often, he added, to justify a belief in its efficacy. Washington.—The 79 American cities having a population between 50,000 and 100,000 in 1922 spent $91,344,000 for educational purposes, other than libraries, in that year. Census bureau statistics show 44 of the cities spent more than $1,000,000 each and 4 spent more than $2,000,000 each. The average per capita expenditure for teachers' salaries and other expenses of maintenance, exclusive of outlays and permanent improvements, amounted to $12.77 for 1922, as compared with $5.55 in 1917. Sacramento had the largest expenditure with $2,950,000, of which $1,770,000 was for permanent improvements. Canton, O., spent $2,194,000, including $1,072,000 for improvements; Scheectady, $2,174,000, including $929,000 for improvements, and Hoboken, $2,111,000, including $1,081,000 for improvements.

Their first conversation betrayed the fact that she was not fastidious at a distance she had appeared unusually neat, immaculate. But upon their first face-to-face meeting he discovered that her teeth were not clean. And he soon lost interest. Many people overlook this one matter of fastidiousness. And do so in spite of the fact that in conversation the teeth are the one most noticeable thing about you. Notice today how you, yourself, watch another person's teeth when he or she is talking. If the teeth are not well kept they at once become a liability. Listerine Tooth Paste cleans teeth a new way.

Wilberforce, O., April 11.—For the first time in several years of football history, a colored college eleven will meet a white college eleven in Ohio. According to a report of the schedule committee arrangements have been made for a game on October 4, 1924, when Wilberforce University's powerful aggregation opens the season against a white team, Carroll College, of Cleveland, Ohio. Several years ago when J. Sherman Hunnicutt, now principal of McKinley School, Topeka, Kansas, was manager of the foot ball team at Wil伯force, the local eleven played annually with Antioch College (white) at Yellow Springs, Ohio, and Cedarville College (white), Cedarville, Ohio, and Tippy-canoe City team. He also managed the baseball team and played with Otterbein, Springfield, Ohio, Tippy-canoe City, Cedarville, Antioch, Capital City College and Ohio Medical College of Columbus, Ohio. These same teams also were on the Wil伯force University schedule during the ten years prior to Hunnicutt's regime, when Richard C. Holland, now of Washington, D. C., was manager of the baseball and football teams. At least for fifteen years Wil伯force played white teams throughout Ohio. It is, therefore, nothing new, but really the old school is getting back to be recognized by her former white friends throughout the great state of Ohio.
