LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year. 5c a Copy STRONG SENTIMENT FOR APPOINTMENT OF RACE TEACHERS Several Representative Citizens and Taxpayers Most Earnestly Endorse Monitor Editorial SOME OF LETTERS RECEIVED Opinion Prevalent That Opportunity Has Come To Again Have Representation on Teaching Corps That there is a strong sentiment that the time has come for again having teachers of our race employed in the public schools is indicated by the many letters the Monitor has received endorsing last week's editorial on this subject. The following letters are samples of the expressions which have come from representative citizens of both races; Rev. John Albert Williams, Editor of The Monitor. I wish to most heartily endorse that splendid and timely editorial on "Colored Teachers in Our Public Schools" published in last week's issue of your paper. It seems unfair, to say the least, that our young women, capable and efficient, holding university degrees and certificates, should be compelled to cross the ocean or go to other states to secure employment as teachers with the large number of our group residing here, paying taxes and sending their children to the public schools. It is to be earnestly hoped that we will not let the matter of placing some of our young women in our public schools stop with a mere suggestion. Something tangible should be done. Now is the time to do it. We absolutely deserve and should have representation on the teaching force of our city. Let's get together and get it. Respectfully yours, Cecelia W. Jewell. Commendable and Timely 2411 Erskine St., Omaha, Neb. May 15, 1924. Editor of The Monitor: Commendable and timely was your editorial on Negro teachers in the public schools of Omaha. It is an actual education in Democracy and a great inspiration for children of all groups and classes, based on neither race, wealth nor social distinction, to receive together instruction from teachers rising from these same groups and classes. Let the Negro children of Omaha share in this inspiration by seeing a fair quota of teachers of their own race and color, not in one school, but in the public schools of Omaha. Sincerely, Lucille Skaggs Edwards. Not An Experiment 2610 No. 30th St., Omaha, Neb. May 13, 1924. I have read your editorial, "Let Us Have Teachers," published in last week's issue and I heartily agree with you that with well-qualified applicants as those whose applications have been filed, there can be no valid excuse upon the part of the Board of Education for refusal to appoint them. Here it is not an experiment. For fifteen years our people were represented on the teachers' corps. Miss Lucinda W. Gamble taught for six years, first at the Dodge and then at the Cass school, with entire satisfaction; and Miss Eulalia Overall for nine years at Mason and Columbia schools with equal success. Both of these teachers had excellent records and resigned upon their marriage, Miss Gamble in 1901 and Miss Overall in 1910. Since the latter's resignation we have been out; perhaps because as you say, none have applied. Now since we have applicants, who are qualified, let us as taxpayers and voters stand unitedly for their appointment. Yours truly, G. B. Robbins. May 15, 1924. To Editor. The Monitor. Your excellent editorial in the last issue of The Monitor, concerning the need of Colored teachers in our public schools, meets with my hearty approval. The justice of your stand is unquestionable and should receive the unanimous accord of our school board. The colored ex-service men of Omaha are whole heartedly behind you in this movement and offer you any assistance possible to aid you in obtaining the desired results. Respectfully yours, William W. Peebles, Commander Roosevelt Post, American Legion. THE MONITOR "It won't hurt you, Jackie!" "Now just sit tight and—" "in a minute—" "Whoa! Back up!" DR. BRUMMITT OF TALLADEGA, AL. FLOGGED (By William Pickens for the Associated Negro Press.) W. H. Brummitt, of Talladega, Alabama, has been a physician there for about twenty years—and had been a student in Talladega college even before he went to sty medicine. He is one of the best surgeons and doctors in the South (not one of the "best culldur"). The other night the cowards called him out of his home, pretending that they wanted him to hurry to some sick person. A mob was lying outside for him and he was abducted and flogged. We do not know, at this writing, what pretext the mob offered him for wanting to do him this hurt. But no pretext whatsoever can ever excuse such lawless attack. Perhaps Brummitt has been too prosperous. He came there 20 years ago—with nothing. He now owns a drug store, and other property and has built for himself and his wife, who is a graduate of Talladega college, an elegant residence on West Battle street, just beyond the college campus, and adjacent to one of the college farms. He is president of the State Medical Association of Colored Men. Brummitt has always been manly, tactful and princely in his bearing—really faultless in his manners, his dress and his conduct toward others. He stands up straight, and looks squarely in the ye of all men, white, black or whatnot, and by that unoffensive impress of personality demands respect from all men and women. But doubtless that is just, what is wrong with Brumitt—in the South Real self-respect under a brown hide is a crime. If you live in that section, you must be a "sensible Negro"; that is you must allow some white man who pretends to know "all about Negroes," to damn you with false praise by saying you are "one Negro who does not think your race as good as white people," and such other rot—while you sit still, (especially if you are the head of some local school) in fear of contradicting this white man, even though you know he is telling a lie on your very soul. Because every Southern white man knows that every Southern black man, who has even brains enough to be the head of such a school, wants everything that any white man could want in the same situation. And when such a Southern white says: "Here's one sensible Negro who doesn't want it," he knows that he is really bullying that unwilling silent Negro and "rubbing it in" on him. Brumitt made no aggressions, and always kept within his rights, but he showed by his conduct and bearing what he thinks of himself and his family. All in all he is the most successful colored man of the country. They whipped him. Doubtless that is why—whatever lies they may pretend to be the reason. We hope the migration will keep up and thats all of Dr. Brummitt's patients will leave for other sections, so that he may follow them. They want the "Negro to stay in the South," but not the Brummitt type of Negro. JOHNSON MADE TRUSTEE OF ATLANTA UNIVERSITY (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., May 166—James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has been elected a member of the board of trustees of Atlanta University, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of the Rev. Edward F. Sanderson. Mr. Johnson is a graduate of the university. BOMBERS IN NEW ORLEANS (By The Associated Negro Press) New Orleans, La., May 16—Residents of the section of the city known as "Irish Channel" were thrown into a state of terror Wednesday night when two bombs were hurled at the residences of Negroes in the district. One of them failed to explode. The other aroused the neighborhood. Police officers have been unable to locate the parties responsible for the attack.

"He would go so far," on such occasions it was said, "That had not his declarations in such situations been clearly proved, they would scarcely have been credited." Such action was daring almost to rashness, but in it is also apparent the deep method of a clever and calculating mind. The sundry religious classes or congregations with Negro leaders or local preachers, into which were formed the Negro members of the various churches of Charleston, furnished Vesey with the first rudiments of an organization, and at the same time with a singularly safe medium for conducting his underground agitation. It was customary, at that time, for these Negro congregations to meet for purposes of worship entirely free from the presence, of the whites. Such meetings were afterward forbidden to be held except in the presence of at least one representative of the dominant race. But during the three or four years prior to the year 1822, they certainly offered Denmark Vesey regular, easy and safe opportunities for preaching his gospel of liberty and hate. And we are left in no doubt whatever in regard to the uses to which he put those gatherings of blacks. Like many of his race he possessed the gift of gab, as the silver in the tongue and the gold in the full or thick-lipped mouth are oftentimes contentedly characterized. And like many of his race he was a devoted sey, Dillard Crawford, Robbie Turner, Lovejoy Crawford, Ruby Evan, Worthington Williams.

Grimke PART IV (By The Associated Negro Press) PLOTTING THE REVOLUTION student of the Bible to whose interpretation he brought like many other Bible students, not confined to the Negro race, a good deal of imagination, and not a little of superstition, which with some natures is perhaps but another name for the desires of the heart. Thus equipped, it is no wonder that Vesey, as he poured over the Old Testament Scriptures, found many points of similitude in the history of the Jews and that of the slaves in the United States. They were both peculiar peoples. They were both Jehovah's peculiar people, one in the past, the other in the present. And it seemed to him that as Jehovah bent his ear, and bared his arm once in behalf of the one, so would He do the same for the other. It was all vividly real to his thought, I believe, for to his mind thus had said the Lord. He ransacked the Bible for apposite and terrible texts, whose commands in the olden times, to the olden people, were no less imperative upon the new times and the new people. This new people was also commanded to arise and destroy their enemies and the city in which they dwelt, "both man, and woman, young and old, ..... with the edge of the sword." Believing superstitiously as he did, in the stern and Nemesis-like God of the Old Testament, he looked confidently for a day of vengeance and retribution for the blacks. He felt, I doubt not, something peculiarly applicable to his enterprise, and intensely personal to himself in the stern and exultant prophecy of Zechariah, fierce and sanguinary words which were constantly "A Nautical Knot" centers around Julia, the haughty belle of Barnstapoole, a maritime port from which the good ship "Bounding Billow" sails. The village swains all vie for Julia's hand, but to be scorned by her. On the eve of the sailing of the Bounding Billow on a year's voyage, Barnabas Lee, a wandering artist, comes to town and falls in love with Julia who returns his affection. The sailor in his mouth: "Then shall the Lord go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle." According to Vesey's hurid exegesis "those nations" in the text meant, beyond a peradventure, the cruel masters, and Jehovah was to go forth to fight against them for the poor slaves, and on whichever side fought that day the Almighty God, on that side would assuredly rest victory and deliverance. It will not be denied that Vesey's plan contemplated the total annihilation of the white population of Charleston. Nursing for many dark years the bitter wrongs of himself and race had filled him, with out doubt, with a mad spirit of revenge, and had so given him a decided predilection for shedding the blood of his oppressors. But if he intended to kill them to satisfy a desire for vengeance, he intended to do so also on broader ground. The conspirators, he argued, had no choice in the matter, but were compelled to adopt a policy of extermination by the necessity of their position. The liberty of the blacks was in the balance of fate against the lives of the whites. He could strike that balance in favor of the blacks only by the total destruction of the whites. Therefore, the whites—men, women and children—were doomed to death. "What is the use of killing the louse and leaving the nit?" he asked grimly and coarsely on an occasion, when the matter was under consideration. And again he was reported to have, with unrelenting temper, represented to his friends, in secret council, that, "It was for our safety not to spare one white skin alive." And so it was unmistakably in his purpose to leave not a single egg lying about Charleston, when he was done with it, out of which might possibly be hatched another future slaveholder and oppressor of his people. "Thorough" was in truth, the merciless motto of that man. Whole Number 462 e Presented by Mrs. AL KNOT" lads kidnip Barnabas and carry him to sea in the "Bounding Billow" Julia thinks him fickle and accepts Joe Stout's proposal through Bill Sale who thinks he is proposing to Nance a gentle damsel whom Joe Stout loves but who is himself too bashful to pop the question. Wandering artists, jolly sailors and merry maidens are all mixed up in a mistake which issues happily. The music of the operetta is bright and the dialogue vivacious. All roads, on the red map of his plot, led to Rome. Every available instrument which fell in his way, he utilized to deepen and extend his underground agitation among the blacks. Wherefore it was that he seized upon the sectional struggle which was going on in Congress over the admission of Missouri, and pressed it to do service for his cause. The passionate wish, unconsciously perhaps, colored if it did not create the belief on his part, that the real cause of that great debate in Washington, and excitement in the country at large, was a movement for general emancipation of the slaves. It was said that he went so far in this direction as to put into the heads of the blacks that Congress had actually enacted an emancipation law, and that therefore their continued enslavement was illegal. Such preaching must have certainly added fresh fuel to the deep sense of injury, then burning in the breasts of many of the slaves, and must have operated also to prepare them for the next step which Vesey's plan of campaign contemplated, viz. a resort to force to wrest from the whites the freedom which was theirs, not only by the will of Heaven but as well by the supreme law of the land. LEADS GIRLS IN ATHLETICS (By The Associated Negro Press) New York, N. Y., May 16—In 12 months of athletics at the 137th street branch of the New York City Young Women's Christian Association, the highest number of points was made by Harriett Ida Pickens, 15 years old. She earned the lead with an advantage of five points, her mark being 440 against 425 for Hazel Brooks. These points are given for all-around athletics, including a swimming, basket ball, hiking and general gymnasium work. As a trophy for excellence in the work Miss Pickens was presented with a miniature silver basket ball and the team of which she was a member won the silver loving cup. Remit for your papers. Whoa! Back up!" GROWING THANK YOU Vol. IX—No. 46 METHODISTS HOLD GREAT MEETING IN LOUISVILLE General Conference Freighted With Many Interesting Events and Rapidly Handling Business REPORTS INDICATE PROGRESS Conference Recommends Advanced Standards and More Adequate Support for Members and Officials (Special to The Monitor by Charles Stewart) Louisville, Ky., May 16.—The first week of the General Conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church was freighted with interesting events, and at the same time full of business. There are many new delegates, some have never seen a General Conference, yet they have fallen in line in helping to do the work for the church. It is a business organization, and some important legislation has been pushed thru, while the rest will! get through next week, and the General Conference will close Wednesday or Thursday of next week. Immediately following the adoption of the minutes Tuesday, and in turning over the gavel to Bishop Levi J. Coppin, Bishop Benjamin Franklin Lee, senior bishop of the church, spoke of his work in the church, he having reached his 84th anniversary, and served the church over half a century. He was elevated to the episcopacy in 1892, devoting his time and energy to the betterment of his church and people. He felt that he had reached the place where he could no longer render the service which the church needed, therefore, he asked to be superanuated. By unanimous vote his request was granted, and the church through Bishop Coppin, expressed regrets. In retiring, the Venerable bishop offered some fatherly advice to the young men and others in whose hands the church of today is placed. He brought tears to many eyes. He is one of the best trained, best educated men in the episcopate and while he is superanuated, he will remain the active senior bishop, thereby giving the church the benefit of his long experience. In appreciation of his long service, the church, voted him a purse of one thousand dollars. It is perhaps the first time in the history of the church, that a bishop has been superanuated on his own request. At the time of Bishop Lee's retirement, he was in charge of the work of his church in California. This was followed on Monday prior to the report of the Episcopal Committee, by Bishop James Myers Connor of Little Rock, who referred to his own physical condition, stating that he felt that within a year he would be fully recovered, therefore asked the General Conference to grant him one year retirement to recruit. This was voted him immediately. That Prof. John R. Hawkins is one of the strongest men in the A. M. E. Church and heads the laymen, was demonstrated by the ovation which was given to his report made before the General Conference. He had guarded every interest of his church, especially the finance. He showed that he had carefully studied the system in detail, and such was his report. He pointed out how the church could do more and better work. He had discovered that some provision should be made for the General officers whose connection with an annual Conference came to an end so to speak when he was made general officer. He said: "During this quadrennium we have had two General Officers to become practically incapacitated from service, thereby making it necessary to make special provision for meeting the emergency arising. I refer to the cases of the Secretary of Church Extension and the Secretary of Missions. In one case, that of the Church Extension, Dr. Watson had served faithfully in that office for twenty-three years. He practically broke down in the office and finally died. In the other case, Dr. Rankin, though sadly incapacitated, still lingers in a suffering condition. I think General Officers should be encouraged to consecrate themselves to the work of their respective departments and kept in these departments on the merits of their work so that there will be some real development of the work committed to them. "Having done this, when a General Officer breaks down, under the stress and strain of his office and becomes unable to serve, provision should be made for his retirement on the basis of half of the salary received at the time of such retirement. "And in case of death of a General Officer who has served as such for (Continued on page 2) THE MONTTOR A WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED PRIMARY TO THE INTERESTS OF COLored AMERICANS PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT OMAHA, NEBRASKA, BY THE MONITOR PUBLISHING COMPANY ARTICLE XIV, CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES 1.

CONCERNING TEACHERS WE HAVE received several telephone messages and several letters, some of which are published in this issue, concerning our last weeks' editorial on representation on the teaching staff of the city schools. All these are commentary and urge any united action and co-operation upon the part of our citizens that may be necessary to secure the recognition to which as taxpayers, citizens and patrons of the public schools we are justly entitled. Nor are these expressions confined to our own people. Several broad minded white friends, who are readers of The Monitor, have expressed themselves as being wholeheartedly in accord with this just request. As we said last week, with Superintendent Beveridge friendly and with the high-class personnel of the Board of Education to whom we believe we can confidently look for a square deal and not a cowardly and unethical subterfuge and with applicants meeting the standardized qualifications we see nothing to prevent appointments being made. All the Teachers' Committee, headed by Dr. J. H. Wallace has to do is to consider the applicants upon their merits as to character and qualifications and recommend accordingly. It will then be up to Superintendent Beveridge to make the assignment to such schools as he may deem best. As we see it, this is all there to it. It is up to our young women to fully qualify, as several of them have done, and meet all requirements and then it is up to the Superintendent and Board of Education to do the just, honest and honorable thing, and we believe that they can be depended upon to do it. RACIAL DISCRIMINATION SPEAKING against Japanese exclusion before the General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in session at Springfield, Mass., the Rev. Dr. Stephens of California said, "As Christians we cannot countenance racial discrimination. It is not good policy to enact legislation which will stimulate feel-feeling and a sense that they are held to be inferior to the white race." The learned doctor is right. The broad principle which he here lays down does not apply to the Japanese alone but to all races whose status, in the mind of the dominant race in the United States and their Anglo-Saxon compares elsewhere, is determined upon the accident of pigmentation rather than upon mental ability and moral worth. Racial discrimination will cease when all those who profess and call themselves Christians will boldly take the only position ten- A PRAYER FOR DELIVERY PREJE By Morne (For the Association GOD, who hast made me who dost love all whom because of difference separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love.

This is the principle for which white Christians in America must stand, too, in dealing with our group. It is because they do not act upon this principle, but countenance, defend and apologize for the most cowardly, unjust and humiliating racial discrimination that so many of our promising younger men and women are, in increasing numbers, discrediting the "white man's Christianity." That "it is not good policy to enact legislation," or deny the enjoyment of civil rights "which will stimulate ill-feeling and a sense that they are held to be inferior to the white race" applies with equal force to us, for all jim-crow legislation is enacted and enforced against our people for this purpose. It creates ill-feeling. All self-respecting people among us present it. We are by no means satisfied and America will not be safe as long as such things not only exist but become more irksome and malignant. Both Christian ethics and a safe policy are against racial discrimination. May Christian Americans realize this and have the moral courage to act accordingly. MAKING GOOD CENTRAL High School of Omaha won for the eighth time the interstate track meet in which 51 high schools competed at Lincoln last Saturday, seventeen schools entering each one of the three groups. Central scored 29 points as against Hastings, its nearest competitor's 23. Of the 29 scored by the purple and white, Martin Tohmas piled up 10 by capturing two firsts, and Weldon Solomon 5, by winning one first. The two colored athletes on Central's team scored for their team more than one half of the total number of points. Not a bad showing. Congratulations, Central; congratulations, Coach Schmidt; congratulations, Thomas and Solomon But—suppose a narrow policy was the rule in school athletics here and these boys had been segregated or barred on account of color. In every contest in which our youth have competed on equal terms, as it should be with their fellow students, they have brought honor to the school whose colors they were wearing. This points its own moral and teaches a very plain lesson. IS IT PUNISHMENT OR RETRENCHMENT? THE dismissal of twenty-one police officers, many of them being of senior rank, immediately after the election, will be construed by many as punishment for political activity or non-activity rather than an honest and sincere effort at retrenchment. Many will argue that if retrenchment be the object this could be accomplished by the retirement of junior officers rather than those of senior rank. This is not an unreasonable view to take of the situation, is it? POOL HALLS OMAHA'S colored population has far too many pool halls. In saying this we recognize the fact that pool and billiard halls, PROPERLY CONDUCTED, are just as legitimate and respectable business as any other kind of business, since it is the sell- ing of certain kind of recreation and amusement which many enjoy. The selling of this recreation or entertainment, under proper conditions, is just as legitimate and respectable as the selling of recreation in the form of movies, theatrical performances, concerts or baseball. But, as a matter of fact, very few pool halls are conducted under proper conditions and wholly free from objectionable features. Granting, however, for the sake of argument, that all pool halls are properly conducted, we still maintain that as a race in this city we have a disproportionate number. We believe that some of the capital so invested could be used to a better advantage in some other line of business, and we would like to see this done.

Increase in our Budget System "That we are progressing cannot be denied. We have advanced year by year, but we must take still higher ground. We have made a big program. To carry this out the whole financial scheme needs revision. "We should standardize our regular Theological Seminaries and man them with the best and strongest professors obtainable. "Our schools and colleges should be classified and equipped for the work they advertise to do and be provided with the best qualified instructors for doing the work. "This we cannot hope to do with poor material and cheap instructors. "The Deans of our regular Seminaries and Presidents of our colleges should be paid at least $3,000 a year with commensurate provision for professors and instructors in harmony with the schedule of salaries paid in the best regulated school system through the country. "The vocation of the ministry should be made more attractive from a financial standpoint by fixing a higher rate as the standard for the allowance of the presiding Elders and Pastors. "There should be a reserve fund out of which we could make better provision for preachers serving on mission points. "To provide a pension for 500 Superannated Ministers even at the modest allowance of $50.00 a quarter or $200.00 a year would require $100,000 a year. "For 1,200 widows at $25.00 a quarter or $100.00 a year will take $120,000 a year. "For 500 orphans at $25.00 a year will take $12,500 a year. "We should pay our Bishops at least $4,000 a year and our General Officers at least $3,000. "In naming our budget to carry out a program of this magnitude we need to set the mark for our general fund for Dollar money alone at.....$ 500,000 For education .....1,000,000 For Missions .....500,000 Total for these 3 items.....$2,000,000 This should be supplemented by a special endowment. A total of ..... $3,000,000 which would mean but an average of $5.00 a year per member on the basis 600,000." Prof. Hawkins reported the amount of money handled by each financial secretary from 1872 to the present, as follows: J. H. Burley, $55,544.11; J. C. Embry, $99,925.68; B. W. Arnett, $363,903.85; James Anderson Handy, $313,341.44; J. H. Armstrong, $251,942.09; M. M. Moore, $406,074.26; P. A. Hubbard, $229,417.38; Edward W. Lamoton, $1,199,488.48; John Hurst, $790,088.50; John R. Hawkins, $2,274,991.30, making a total of $6,900,301.63. He made it clear that this amount was in dollar money alone and did not include the money raised by local churches, for church work, pastors and presiding elders' salaries and other things. The report received the approval of the General Conference. Of course, he will be re-elected. He is the first layman to hold such a position, and it will be observed that with but two exceptions, all the other secretaries stepped into the episcopal office from the secretaryship. All the reports made to the General Conference showed an increase in business. Progress along all lines reported, and the report of Ira T. Bryant, secretary of the A. M. E. Sunday School Union was an eye opener. Many had thought that because of a fight, Bryant would tie up the property due to what is considered a flaw in the charter but he had it all straightened out, and presented the African Methodist Episcopal Church deeds to all the property of the Sunday School Union in fee simple absolute. He won many friends by this act, many declared that he would succeed himself. Prof. Bryant is the first layman to be secretary of the Sunday School Union, and in his method in what to him was defending the church and guarding its interests, he has not had the approval of many. He declared that he could sleep well each night because he felt that he discharged his duty to his God, his church and his fellows. "The Feast of the Lord's Supper" an oratoria, was presented Friday night of last week by Hiram Simmons THE MONITOR Portsmouth, Ga. It was referred to by fully 5,000 people. All of the Methodist Churches of Louisville were supplied with a preacher from the Conference last Sunday, and some of them had bishops, while a few of the Baptist Churches had ministers. A great impression has been made here during this session. The report of the Episcopal Committee was made Monday morning. They recommended the election of three bishops also reported on episcopal districts. They also recommended that Bishop Conner be temporary retired. They fixed the time for election to Tuesday morning, 11 o'clock and continue until all bishops and general officers were elected.

Geyer towers 78 inches and his girth is commensurate with his attitude. He used his 6-foot-6 to lead Starr's 48 inches before Magistrate Norman J. Marsh. A spirit of levity which immediately spread throughout the courtroom, affecting everyone but Jacob, threatened for awhile to break up the morning's dispensation of justice. When quiet was attained Jacob was given one day in jail and Geyer was congratulated by the magistrate for making this, his first, arrest for traffic violation.

Atlantic 5415 203 South 19th St. Beauty Expert Passes New York—This is a romance for nice girls to read—girls who have passed the age of twenty-five and are capable and independent and a bit wistful about life; nice, plain girls who sometimes wonder if it wouldn't be more exciting to be beautiful and dumb. It is the romance of J. R. Bolton, fashion expert of the Retail Millinery association, and Miss Ethel Helen Gouse, housekeeper. To start at the beginning, for years J. R. Bolton had done fashion shows. He has been a connoisseur of feminine lines, lovely, loveliness, lines, from the days when the thirty-six was "perfect" to the present ascendancy of the thirty-four. But J. R. Bolton remained a bachelor. Two years ago Miss Ethel Helen Gough, just over from London, became housekeeper of J. R. Bolton's little apartment. Miss Gough reaches the third button on Mr. Bolton's vest, wears a No. 2A shoe, is bobbed-haired and soft-eyed, but would never get a job as a model. But what perfectly wonderful eight-course dinners she concocted in the kitchenette and served to the jolly members of J. R. Bolton's own private informal "Napkin Ring club." This went on for two years. The other day Miss Gough and Mr. Bolton were married. I.

HOW ESKIMOS CATCH EELS TO FEED DOGS Dip Nets Used Through Bibles Cat in Ice. Saint Michael, Alnska.—Early everv winter vast numbers of eels come down the Yukon river toward the sea, and the methods used by Eskimos to eatch them for dog feed is novel. ‘The lower Yukon freezes early to Recember and when the tce is about six inches thick the Eskimos watch for the arrival of eels. Eskimo villages are scattered along the lower river up to Anvik, the divid- fng Ine between the Yukon Indiups and Eskimos, Anvik is 250 miles from the mouth. ‘The villages have from six to twenty families, each with five or more children, ‘The natives prepare dip nets 18 Inches in diameter, of seal or walrus hide, the size of a leather shoe string, and made with one-quarter-inch mesh, fastened to a wiliow hoop and tour- foot pole. When the ice is strong enough the Fekimos who own dogs tind the river eddies where eels have regular lanes of travel year after year. Holes Cut in ice. Each dog owner cuts a hole two feet square in the ice, then some dis- tance further along another one, and #0 on until five or six are made, all in a line up and down the river, cross- wise to the current. Over the holes are placed grass mats piled with snow to prevent freezing. A stick is frozen upright near each hole as a guide and warning. Near exch hole heaps of dry woods are piled, Eels. do not rm in small numbers first, they increase to the high peak. ‘They come in a wriggling, writhing mass of snakellke forms, ‘They pass a given point in from seven to twenty minutes, a few stragglers follow for half an hour. ‘They are 18 inches long, dark brown, with a leather-like fin on back and belly. Each has seven small round holes the size of a pinhend on both sides of the skull and a mouth Ike a sucker. Their digestive organs are in the head. ‘The backbone is 4 halrlike gristle running the entire length of the body. ‘They are all fat, not a trace of lean meat to be found ‘on cne of them. When the ice Is six inches thick the natives are ready for the greatest event of the year. The tribes have un unusual system of notifying each other when the eels have arrived. Four young men are sent to wateh at a water hole three or four miles beyond their village. day and night, until eels are sighted. Sleep 4s Impossible, for if they should miss the eel run the natives would be minus dog feed for the long winter. ‘The river water comes up through the ice holes to within two or three Inches of the top and as the wriggling masses of eels come down stream they push water ahead of them so that each hole overflows. This is the sign to the watchers of the arrival of the antick pated hosts. Much of Work at Night. Eels run s0 close to the shortest days that it is generally night work harvesting them. It 1s the queerest of northern sights to observe 30 to 50 fur ¢lad Eskimos and many dogs on the snow-covered ice, the rows of small ‘wood fires burning brightly at the wa ter holes. ‘As the water begins to rise in the hole, an Eskimo plunges his dip net fo. At once It is filled with writhing eels; he pulls It up, dumps the con tents upon the ice, then another plunge, another net full. ‘The last hole cleaned, the Eskimo gather to inspect thelr catch, act family has from five to seven or eight piles of eels already frozen stift, th sum total caught numbering well ug fm the hundreds. ‘The piles are left on the ice during & great part of the winter, excep when a sled load Is wanted for dos teed. Eels are cooked with dried dogfist and the native sledge dog receives on fall meal per day, which is served a night. ‘The eels are too fat even for the oil-loving Eskimos, but the grease is Elephants Poor Sailors; Sea Voyage Sickens 'Em Hamburg.—"Old Kose,” un etephant ninety years of age, suffered most from ‘seu sickness of all the 200 trained ant- mals which sulled from Hamburg for ‘Montevideo ex purt of a circus now en tour in South America ‘There were nine other elephants beside “Old Rose,” who Is queen of the herd, and all bore up very well indeed until the leader herself became ill and kept the veterinarians and trainers up every night for good part of the three-week ocean trip.

Curious sort of in- stitution, isn’t it? ‘And did you ever stop to ponder over it; ever stop to wonder where it all came from? Sonie of the classics of the bell lot were coined by none other than Ping Bodie, now playing center field for the Des Moines Boosters. “ping, you know, was the well ‘known wop fence buster and one-tim “roomie” of Babe Ruth. It was dur: ing the Bambino’s biggest home run year that Ping was selected to keep tabs on Ruth—wander eround with him at night to see that the infant didn’t do anything that would be bad ‘for him. So, then it was Ping, himself, who ‘first referred to a baseball as an onion. Later he called it an apple. Still later he spoke of it as a tomato. “Well, sir,” Ping was wont to say, “4 ain't so fast on my dogs any more when it comes to chasing them fly balls, but 1 certainly can caress that ‘ole apple.” Long Mutt Williams, the pitcher, who probably wonld be one of the greatest flingers in the game if he took life @ bit more seriously, always has a lot of smart cracks on the end of his tongue. Mutt, who probably measures in at about six feet, four in- ches, always takes delight in telling some unsuspecting victim about the time when he was an actor. The elongated one says he used to play the tree in the forest scene in Way Down East, Mutt generally winds up by confiding to his listener that this all happened back in the good—yes, way back in the goodyear rubber com- pany.
