Baltimore, Md., June 20.—The Baltimore Sun, one of the leading white dailies of the country, in a recent editorial fearlessly and frankly calls attention to the double standard of justice as applied to the races in many sections of the south. It says: In most states of the south a Negro who is charged with laying violent or heavy hand upon a white woman whether with intent to administer physical punishment, to steal from the person or to attempt rape is punished with death, either summarily by the mob or railroaded speedily by a court. The bare, uncertain, hesitant testimony of the woman who claims that she has been assaulted is all that is needed to send any Negro to a swift and cruel death for crime. Positive identification is not even necessary in the case of such a white woman; any vague, general or partial description which will always be made to fit some unfortunate Negro will suffice. Any white woman high in the social scale and in character, or of the lowest SUNDAY MASS MEET TO BE BROAD New York, June 20.—Latest developments announced for the 15th annual conference in Philadelphia June 25 to July 1, of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People include the following items: The Sunday, June 29, mass meeting of the N. A. A. C. P. conference to be held in the Philadelphia Metropolitan opera house, the entire proceedings of this meeting, which opens at 2:45 P. M., daylight saving time, are to be broadcast by radio, and for this purpose John Wannamaker's store in Philadelphia, which controls the broadcasting during those hours, has given the privilege to the N. A. A. C. P. The broadcasting will be done over Gimbel's broadcasting station, WIP, with wave length of 509 metres. Paul Robeson, for two years a member of Walter Camp's All-American football team, member of Phi Beta Kappa Society and star of Eugene O'Neill's "Emperor Jones" and "All God's Chillun Got Wings," will sing at the Metropolitan opera house meeting on Sunday. The other participants in the Sunday program will be Representative Theodore E. Burton, Ohio, keynote speaker at the republican national convention; Hon. David I. Walsh, democratic senator from Massachusetts; Rev. John Haynes Holmes, pastor of the Community church of New York, and James Weldon Johnson. The Philadelphia branch, N. A. A. C. P., announces that a free automobile ride will be tendered to all registered delegates and members of the N. A. A. C. P., on which the many points of historic interest in and about Philadelphia will be visited. On Monday, June 30, the morning business session of the conference will be adjourned promptly at 11:30, and all delegates and members will proceed in a body to Independence Hall, where the famous Liberty Bell i s placed. A short session of the conference will be held in Independence Hall, after which group photographs of the delegates will be taken in front of that historic building. Among the new speakers announced for the conference are William Stanley Braithwaite, of Boston, Spingarn Medallist, and one of the leading literary critics of the country, who will speak on "The Negro in Literature" at the night meeting of Tuesday, July 1; and Charles B. Hall, president of the city council of Philadelphia, who will bring greetings to the conference in behalf of the city council. Another soloist at the conference will be Miss Marian Anderson, soloist with the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, who will give a recital lasting half an hour before the Tuesday night meeting.

But while the law or the mob in those states throw around the white woman every measure of protection and eagerly, swiftly and oftimes savagely revenge an insult or attack upon her dignity, person or virtue, no protection or defense whatever is extended to the Negro woman who is maltreated, beaten or outraged by white men. The case of Alice Thomas in Orangeburg county, South Carolina, who was unmercifully beaten by a mob of five white men who invaded her home and dragged her out of bed in her night clothes is an illuminating example of the mockery of justice as between white and black in South Caroline. This poor, unfortunate black woman knew and positively identified each and every one of her assailants by name. And yet in a solemn court of justice a jury of white men "good and true" accepted the lying evidence of other white men of the kind who are ever ready to swear away the life or liberty of a Negro or to shield the crimes of lawless white men, and rendered a verdict of acquittal. Such a verdict brings courts into derision and lessens the respect not only of the group against whom justice has closed its doors, but of those as well who use the courts to oppress a race or class outside the pale of the law's protection. While Senator Simmons, of North Carolina, is making a plea for the Negro to remain in the south and aid in developing its resources, South Carolina mobs and courts are furnishing impetus to migration by outrages upon Negro men and women and maintaining a double standard of justice as between black and white. be on view during the entire week of the conference, in the art gallery of John Wanamaker's Philadelphia store. In making final announcements of the conference, the N. A. A. C. P. again urges all visitors and delegates to obtain certificates when buying railway tickets, and to register promptly at Conference Headquarters, the First African Baptist church, 16th and Christian streets, upon arrival in Philadelphia. Delegates arriving via Pennsylvania railroad should proceed to Broad street station; those via Baltimore and Ohio railroad to B. & O. terminal, at 24th and Chestnut streets; and those via Reading to Reading terminal, 12th and Market streets, at all of which terminals there will be committees of welcome. The Y. W. C. A., at 1605 Catherine street has agreed to serve good meals at reasonable prices. Stopping places will cost not more than one dollar. Breakfast served at stopping places will cost not more than 50 cents. The cost per delegate per day for meals and stopping place will not exceed $2.50. COLORED WOMEN IN NURSING PROFESSION Hampton, Va., June 20—Miss Bessie Walker, Norfolk, Va., who recently received her diploma from the three-year course at the Hampton Training School for Nurses and Dixie Hospital, described the opportunity which the nursing profession offers to well trained, consecrated women. She said: "A few years ago there was a demand for only two or three types of nurses. Today nurses are taking larger places in the life of social nursing activities. In three great movements the nurse today plays an important part—public health, hospital social service, and household nursing. The public health movement did not create the public health nurse. It found her at work—nursing the sick and teaching personal hygiene and sanitation. Now 12,000 nurses are engaged in the form of public health work. Nursing has risen to the dignity of a profession. A trade is followed for profit; a profession is exercised for service; a trade flourishes by copyrights and secret knowledge, a profession puts all its knowledge an skill at the service of others." SOLDIERS GOING ABROAD Louisville, Ky., June 20—(A. N. P.)—H. E. Hall, of this city has been selected as one of the five Negroes who will be delegates at the unveiling of monuments in France and Africa by the French, in honor of Negro soldiers in the world war. The delegation will sail early in July. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JUNE 20, 1924 AMERICAN YOUTHS TO VISIT FOREIGN LANDS To Try Its Hand at Promoting International Amity. New York—Embarking June 21 on a "friendship trip" through Europe, 20 American boys will constitute the first group of this kind to advance international amity in accordance with a resolution adopted by the League of Nations assembly. The tour, which will occupy ten weeks, will be under the auspices of the Young Men's Christian association. The boys, ranging from sixteen to nineteen, are selected on the basis of outstanding leadership qualities. In nearly all other cases the trip will be financed by the boys' families. Special arrangements have materially reduced the usual cost of such a tour. The tour has been arranged as a result of plans made at last year's "world conference of workers among boys," at Portschach, Austria. It is part of an effort to help establish better understanding and more friendly relations among nations, as well as being a new feature in the educational work of the association. J. A. Van Dls, boys' work secretary of the international committee of Young Men's Christian associations, is general director of the trip. He will be assisted by Harry J. Center of Flint, Mich., and Ernest P. Roberts of Brooklyn, N. Y., both experienced in boys' work, as well as in foreign travel. The itinerary includes, besides the Norwegian cruise, trips to England, France, Belgium, Holland, Sweden and Denmark. Outstanding features will be visits to Oxford, Stratford-on-Avon and the British empire exhibition in England, the Olympic games in France and the international boy scout jamboree which is to be held in Copenhagen from August 15 to 20. Future similar tours are planned if this summer's experience is successful. Other plans under consideration call for an educational "friendship trip" of older boys to Japan and the Far East, tours in the United States for European boys, and a possible cruise around the world, occupying an entire year. INTERNATIONAL "Honest" John Cody, New York taxi-cab chauffeur at $35 a week, who found $75,000 in jewels in his machine and turned them over to the police, be-littled his honesty. "It's easy enough to be honest. I broke the speed limit getting to the station house, but all the way I kept seeing that diamond necklace around my wife's neck. But I hurried to return them. When you've got a family you think twice before doing anything. Reward? Sure. I could use one. 'If there's one coming I won't refuse it.' Cody is shown at the wheel of his taxi-cab. French Village Recalls L'Orient, France.—Memories of war days were recalled in the town of Plocharnel recently when it was bombed by long range French naval guns. A heavy coast battery testing cannon was aimed inaccurately and several high caliber shells were sent crashing into the village fifteen miles from the scene of the firing. The shells landed in the center of the town in front of the church. There were no casualties, but the entire population was in a panic. Paris.—The planet Mercury may possibly be inhabited, according to Professor Bigouran, the astronomer, who saw its passage between the sun and the earth. "The heat and light on Mercury are seven times more intense than on the earth," he said, "but the atmosphere surrounding the planet is so compact that their effects may be less violent. Furthermore, Mercury, like the moon, always shows us the same side, and the existence of life upon it is highly possible." PICTURES OF WINNERS IN RECENT POPULAR BABY CONTEST OF N. A. A. C.

Service.) New York, June 20—One of the men selected by Governor Albert Smith of New York as a member of the Theodore Roosevelt Memorial Commission is Andrew Condy, a Negro, who has been a Pullman porter on the New York Central railroad for thirty-five years. Condy, having been a porter for all these years, never had any time for politics. But he was always a great admirer of the late Col. and rode with him and took care of his luggage during his trips to and from Albany while he was governor of New York. The Colonel always had a cheerful word for Condy and was always interested in his views on the questions of the day and things in general. SAYS INDIA MUST BE FREE (N. A. A. C. P. Service.) London, Eng., June 20.—Great Britain must eventually give India Dominion status, according to the opinion of the Maharajah of Rajapilpa, a ruling prine of India, who is now visiting this city. Tall and lithe, the Maharajah might easily be mistaken for a well-tanned Englishman, as he sits in his suite in the Savoy Hotel; but the servants who surround him like a court, are in flowing white robes and dispell any doubts. The Maharajah pointed out that, as a ruling prince, he is not directly interested in the independence of India, but he shows in his conversation that he has made it his business to attempt to feel the pulse of the 1,200,000 people over whom he rules. Harrisburg, Pa., June 20.—(P. N. S.)—A survey of the conditions effecting the race in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has been officially started. On June 1 Governor Pinchot appointed Forrester B. Washington, director of this survey and Prince Edwoods, assistant and field worker. POSTAL UNION IS 50 YEARS OF AGE POSTAL UNION IS 50 YEARS OF AGE Meeting at Stockholm, July 4, Marks Semi-Centennial Anniversary. Washington.—On July 4, the leagues of postal nations, the Universal Postal union, embracing the earth, will hold its fifteenth anniversary at Stockholm, Sweden. "It is significant that the delegates of the nations of the earth gather for this celebration of postal peace on July 4, American Independence day, because to the United States goes the honor of laying the foundation of the Universal Postal union," says a bulletin of the National Geographic society from its headquarters at Washington. "This confederation of nations, at fifty years, is the oldest comprehensive organization of world states. It has reduced the world's postage bill by billions, and increased the letters exchanged by millions. It has made neighbors of Kalamazoo and Timbuktu and put sewing machines in Turkish hares. When New Zealand Letter Cost $2.50. "The difference between $2.50 and a 2-cent postage stamp represents to the individual the most dramatic feature of the Postal union's accomplishments. Ten years before the Postal union was thought of it cost $2.50 to send an ounce letter to New Zealand; today it costs 2 cents. "The blow to the high cost of mailing illustrated by the United States-New Zealand instance has been repeated to a lesser degree with all foreign correspondence. Reduction of the cost of an ounce letter to England from 12 cents to 2 cents, to France from 72 cents to 5 cents, and to Brazil from 30 cents to 2 cents, dates back to a conference called with the approval of Abraham Lincoln. Agreements of this conference were built into the postal convention signed at Borne, Switzerland, in 1873. Although the actual fifty-year anniversary occurred last year, the Universal Postal union will celebrate it at Stockholm this year, since 1924 is the year of its regular meeting. "Dispatch of 22,000 sacks of mail from the New York foreign mail post office is not uncommon today. On one trip recently the Mauretania brought in 14,000 sacks. "Last year the United States spent $10,000 to send 415,000 pieces of mail, excluding parcel post, abroad, and received 362,000 pieces. It is a far cry from these thousands of sacks of mail to Burns Coffee House, post office for all Manhattan for a century. In this old tavern near the Battery letters were stuck in a rack, to be called for by the addresses. Even the king of Hedaz had to give up recently the old custom of dumping mail in a pile where the pilgrims in Mecca, at their leisure, picked out letters sent for them. "No man who sticks a 5-cent stamp on a letter to a missionary in Tibet can realize the tribulation of his grandfather sending a letter only to Canton. First his grandfather had to choose one of five ways of sending the letter. It might go by German mails through England to Brindisi, Italy, to the Orient, or through Germany to Brindisi. It might pass through Great Britain via Southampton or via Brindisi, or might go by the United States packet. Each way had a different charge, varying from 20 cents to 68 cents. In our grandfathers' time each sender had to pay the cost of transportation over and above postage; now nations' representatives calculate transportation costs, cancel off like banks do with checks, and pay the charges. Countries Not In Union. "The parts of the world not represented in the Universal Postal union agreements today are Afghanistan, Arabia, Baluchistan, Johore and Trengganu in the Malay states, Maldive islands, Northern and Southern Nigeria, Nyassaland, Northern Rhodesia, Santa Cruz islands, Pitcairn islands, Russia, Iraq and Tonga islands." "Through the offices of the Universal Postal union magazines have become international as well as national by virtue of the economy in cost to subscribers. Foreign malls take the National Geographic Magazine to 61 independent countries and 92 dependencies. The same material which is read by members of the society in the United States is read by other members in Gambia, Monaco, Abyssinia, Gabon, Zanzibar, the Society islands and the Seychelles." U. S. to Serve Reindeer Seattle, Wash.—Between 60,000 and 70,000 pounds of reindeer meat soon will be purchased by the government to be served in the dining cars of the Alaska railroad, according to word received by the Seattle Chamber of Commerce. This was said to be the first time that a large market for reindeer meat has been created within Alaska.

S.)—After 15 years the bomber has returned to Kansas City. Beginning with demands three weeks ago and culminating in a bomb thrown Saturday night, terrorism against Negro home buyers has burst forth again. The buyer who suffers this time is Patrolman Smothers, who has purchased a cottage on the southwest corner of Montgall avenue and 25th street. For a number of years 25th street has been on the "line" on Montgall, although on the other avenues the "line" has been as far south as 28th street. The bomb was thrown between the Smothers' house and another home and two windows were broken in the officers' home when the bomb exploded. Fifteen years ago a number of colored homes in white sections were bombed. NURSES GRADUATE AT HAMPTON INSTITUTE Hampton, Va., June 20—Frank W. Darling, president of the board of directors and board of incorporators of the Hampton Training School for Nurses and Dixie Hospital, recently presented diplomas to seven nurses, who had finished the three-year course. Bessie Walker, Norfolk; Izetta Shade, Wilson, N. C.; Bertha Long, Pocomock City, Md.; Louise Dennis, Newport News; Ruth Matherson, Laurinburg, N. C.; Inez Miller, Norfolk, and Emma Brooks, Surry County, Va. He referred to the fine records which have been made by the Dixie Hospital nurses and urged the members of the class of 1924 to do their best all the time. The program was given in Clarke Hall, Hampton Institute. The Rev. Laurence Fenninger, chaplain of the Institute, delivered the annual address to the graduating class of Dixie nurses. He spoke on "Reliability, Radiance and Reverence", and emphasized the opportunity for service which is offered to those who enter the nursing profession. Dr. H. D. Howe, speaking on behalf of the medical staff, spoke on "Faithfulness in Small and Big Things." CHURCH CELEBRATES .15TH ANNIVERSARY Philadelphia, Pa., June 20.—The 115th anniversary celebration of the First African Baptist church in this city, at Sixteenth and Christian Sts., began Sunday and will continue three days under the direction of the Rev. William A. Herrod, the pastor. The First African Baptist church began work the same year as did the First Baptist church of Philadelphia. In the 116 years of its existence it has had eight pastors and five meeting houses. Today it has an enrollment of more than 4000 members, and a property valued at more than $200,-000: COLORED BABIES S WITH THEIR MO New York, June 20.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made public an account of the jailing in Texas of three colored babies, 7 months, 8 months and 3 months old respectively, with their mothers. The Houston Poss., of Thursday morning, May 22, prints the following report of the case: BLACK BABIES GO TO PRISON Mothers Sentenced to "Pen": Take BLACK BABIES GO TO PRISON Mothers Sentenced to "Pen"; Take Children With Them. Three suckling Negro babies passed through Houston Wednesday on their way to the penitentiary. They are charged with no crime, but their mothers, all sisters, two brothers, and their grandfather, were convicted of assault to murder in Foard county last week. They were in charge of Bud Russell, penitentiary agent. The assault was made upon Sheriff L. D. Campbell and his deputies when they made an official visit to the farm operated by the Negroes. MONITOR—TWO The brothers, Eugene, 12, and Nathaniel, 14, were sentenced to the reform school. Their grandfather, Luke, and the three women, Bertha, Levy and Mandy, were sentenced to the state farm for from two to three years.

When the babies are released from the farm they will be husky youngsters. "Weain't done nothin'" one of the women said.

New York—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue has announced that appeal had been taken to the United States Supreme Court from the decision of the Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, handed down on June 2, affirming a decree of a lower court, which would permit real estate owners to agree among themselves not to sell property to colored people, and to insert such agreements into the sale contracts. James A. Cobb, who fought the case for the N. A. A. C. P. in Washington, reports as follows: "The Court of Appeals affirmed the decree of the lower Court, to the effect that a covenant entered into by a group of white people forbidding the alienation in any way of their property by themselves, their heirs or assigns to any person of the Negro race or blood for a period of twenty-one years, was not unconstitutional or contrary to public policy. The opinion by the learned Justice was disappointing, not only by reason of its holding, but because of the fact that it treated in the most meagre way of the vital issues here involved. "As a matter of fact reference to the opinion will immediately reveal that the Court travelled entirely outside of the case as presented for the facts upon its decision was based; and failed entirely to pass upon or treat of the real issues as given rise to in the briefs and arguments presented in this cause. "An appeal was immediately taken to the Supreme Court of the United States; and as of this date, June 7, that appeal was allowed." In 1915, the N. A. A. C. P. won the Louisville Segregation Case before the U. S. Supreme Court, the decision prohibiting the enactment of any law or ordinance providing for residential segregation in American cities. The Washington, D.C., form of segregation by agreement among property owners threatens to nullify the victory of 1915, and the board of directors of the N. A. A. C. P., recognizing the danger, voted at their meeting of June 9, that the N. A. A. C. P. put all of its power behind the prosecution of the present legal struggle.

JAPANESE REFUSES DIPLOMA BECAUSE OF EXCLUSION (By the Associated Negro Press.) Chester, Pa., June 200.—Kuranoske Fujii, a Japanese student at Crozier Theological Seminary, refused a diploma at the commencement exercises, although his name was included among the graduates. In a letter written to Mr. Milton Evans, president of the school, Fujii said: "Since the Japanese Exclusion Bill we Japanese students begin to ask ourselves whether Christianity has ever got a real spiritual and moral power on the general policy of the nation. So long as such an exclusion measure is imposed upon us in the so-called Christian country or nation, the American missionary work in Asia will have the most difficult situation with regard to teaching of Christianity to the natives and to be sure the intelligent people of Asia will make mock of such an undertaking."

THERE recently passed to his reward at Topeka, Kansas, a man whose life was an inspiration to all who knew him and who wrought nobly despite a great physical handicap. We refer to the Rev. William H. Van Derzee. Blind for years, he was a successful pastor. No word of complaint escaped him. Sunny, cheerful, bright, he radiated sunshine wherever he went. He was deeply interested in young people and many who are filling useful careers owe it to the inspiration and encouragement they received from this lover of mankind. He reared a family of sons and daughters who are filling useful stations in life. Proud of his race, he urged them constantly to seek the heights which are achieved only along the pathway of righteousness of life and faithful service to mankind and in this he set a shining example. The world is richer for the life of William Van Derzee. A WIDE-AWAKE NEWSPAPER THERE have come recently to our desk several copies of a well-edited and live-wire race weekly published in Los Angeles, Cal., by Fred C. Williams, formerly of Omaha. It is the Pacific Defender and the manner in which it has gone after certain matters of racial interest in the City of the Angels sustains its title of "Defender," but the adjective "Pacific"—which means "peaceful"—is hardly applicable. Many Monitor readers will recall the interesting series of articles that Mr. Williams wrote for us during an extensive southern trip some years ago when he made The Monitor a household word from Oklahoma to Louisiana. Mr. Williams is blind, too, and yet he manipulates a typewriter well and has a vigorous and delightful style. The Monitor wishes The Pacific Defender a long and prosperous life. TWO EXAMPLES IT IS RATHER remarkable that two of our editorials should be about men who have lost their eyesight and yet who did not give up to idleness or despair, have devoted themselves to useful service. How their example should shame those who possessed of all their faculties are so prone to whine and complain of their lack of opportunity. The two men to whom we have referred are striking examples of what men can do in spite of physical limitations. NEBRASKA WILL BE IN IT THE republicans have nominated Coolidge and Dawes for standard bearers. The democrats, if they are wise, will not overlook Nebraska in their quest for presidential material. Governor Charles Bryan is being groomed and he is not a bad bet. While no mention has been made of him in that connection, Gilbert M. Hitchcock is a man of presidential dimensions. Keep your eye on Charles Bryan and Gilbert M. Hitchcock in the New York convention. Our guess is that New York and Nebraska will be the combination.

BOOK ON BEAUTY CULTURE BY WELL KNOWN OMAHAN Mrs. Kathryn Wilson, who has for several years conducted one of the most successful and popular Beauty Culture Parlors in Omaha, and who has been much in demand as a teacher of the art, has just published an attractive book, entitled "The Successful Hair Dresser, a Complete Course in All Branches of Beauty Culture." It is the text book of the California Sun Parlor, which is the name of her school. The book contains twelve lessons, dealing with the care of the hair, of the face, hands and feet, as well as practical suggestions on operation and shop management. What will make the book popular with the average woman, is the fact that it teaches her to marcel her own hair. This Beauty Culture Text Book, which is unique in its class, should have a large sale. THE WEEK'S EDITORIAL: WHITE PRESS. (From the Indianapolis Star, of June 4.) NEGRO PROGRESS FOR YEAR The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, with headquarters in New York, is an organization whose purpose is in a legal and orderly way to secure members of the colored race the protection of law when discrimination is threatened or accomplished and by the promotion of good citizenship to secure interracial harmony. Its annual report, a summary of which was recently published, shows activity along various lines and that considerable progress has been made in securing peaceful adjustment of wrongs. Though the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill has not yet been made a law, the fight made in Congress and the publicity given to the lynching evil have had their influence through the realization by the public that it is not the lives of Negroes alone that are concerned, but the honor of America and the brutalizing effect of the crime on the white race. Known lynchings decreased in 1923 to twenty-eight from sixty-one in 1922. Among the forward steps noted is the action of the unanimous vote of the Harvard board of overseers that in the administration of rules for admission Harvard college maintain its traditional policy of freedom from discrimination on grounds of race or religion. This was in opposition to President Lowell's policy of exclusion. One curious episode was that of the establishment of a government hospital at Tuskegee, Ala., for the care of Negro veterans. It was not at first proposed to place it at Tuskegee, and the authorities there did not want it, but opposition to it was so great in white communities that on government request 300 acres were set apart for its use on land of the institution, Dr. Moton, head of Tuskegee, first stipulating that at least a part of the staff of physicians and nurses should be Negroes. It is by systematic, orderly methods of securing justice to the race that reforms will be brought about in the surest way, and the association, which is large and evidently wisely managed is proceeding on a proper course.

I., to which union was born three girls and two boys, all living. He came to Omaha, in 1883, engaging in his business of contracting and building. In 1888, his eyes, which had always been poor, failed him and he yielded to his conviction of long standing to enter the ministry. Altho, as a boy of 15, he had given his heart to God and had surrendered his all—when eyesight failed, he faced a new surrender, learning that faith really begins where sight, physical or mental, ends. His first pastorate was the white Methodist church at Norfolk, Nebr. He later united with the Church of Christ and served for six months as an elder, following this with a two years' pastorate. In 1895, he moved to Lincoln, Nebr., where he opened the first colored Christian mission in Nebraska, devoting his whole time to this work without remuneration. This mission was later organized as the Third Church of Christ. He laid his wife to rest in 1904 and was obliged to resign the pastorate in 1905 on account of failing health. In 1913, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Melcenah Davis, of Keokuk, Iowa. In 1914, he accepted the pastorate of the Atchison Christian church. Since 1917 he has resided in Topeka, where he has served as senior elder in the congregation. He leaves Mrs. Melcenah Van Derzee, his wife, Topeka, Kans.; Mrs. Anna R. Coffee, a former teacher at Tuskegee, later in Topeka, now of Frankfort, Kans.;Mr. Perry F. Van Derzee, a radiotician of Boston, Mass.; Mr. William E. Van Derzee, a baker of Cleveland, Ohio; Mrs. Ruth E. McWilliams, musician and teacher, now of Bigelow, Kans.; and Mrs. Alice C. Burton, also a musician and teacher of Ashtabula, Ohio. The Rev. Mr. Van Derzee in spite of his blindness, which he insisted was no real handicap, had travelled extensively, preaching and lecturing, going alone a great deal of the time. He also wrote many poems and gospel songs. Recently he has been an active agent of the Comer Mfg. Co., in addition to his work of religious leader, so active, in fact, that an especial expression of regret was read at the cemetery service by the field agent of the company, commending him for his extraordinary work under physical handicap. The Rev. Mr. Van Derzee had used a typewriter for ten years, which enabled him to keep up with a heavy correspondence. Beautifully impressive were the funeral services, held at the West Side Church of Christ, the sermon being preached by the Rev. W. S. Sims, pastor, assisted by ten of the city pastors. The musical offering consisted almost wholly of the compositions of the deceased and the following one of his poems was read: "Thy Will Be Done." Thy will be done, dear Lord, I pray, For Thou hast taught me this to say; And as my lips these words express Grant that my heart shall acquiesce In nothing more and nothing less. Thou art my friend. Thy will be done, for it is best; In doing it there comes a rest, A peace that stills the troblous wave That drives the darkness from the grave And reassures Thy power to save. Give me that peace. Thy will be done, nor is it sealed But to the world Thou hast revealed Infinite plan that shows Thy care Infinite wisdom everywhere, Infinite heritage, I share. Thy will be done and be Thou still The Custodian of my will; Keep it in accent with Thy love True to the pattern Thou hast shown And flexible to Thine alone. Then as we serve in fullest trust Wavering not, for He is just, We may expect a constant Friend, One who is able to defend And to preserve us to the end. The lives of his children and of his innumerable host of friends have been immeasureably enriched by his indomitable courage and extraordinary sweet spirit; he inspired many with his graciousness and his usefulness to a higher plane of living. The Upper Room Bible Class which he had organized in North Topeka and taught for two years, received a great share of his careful instruction and loving care. The class was strictly non-sectarian and had members from all denominations. Their text book was the bible alone. Many through his example and teachings have caught a greater vision of the Master. His home going brought to a close an earthly life or rare beauty and sweetness; his falling asleep was a conspicuous triumph of faith and hope. THE MONITOR FINDS RADIO WAVE SLOWER THAN LIGHT Navy Astronomer Offers an Amazing New Theory. San Francisco, Cal.—The discovery that the radio wave travels slower than light was announced by Capt. J. J. See, professor of mathematics in the United States navy, government astronomer at Mare Island navy yard, and well known authority on the theory of ether. According to Captain See the radio wave travels around the globe with a velocity of 165,000 miles a second, while light travels 186,000. Captain See considers that his discovery in the velocity of the propagation of the radio wave about the earth may prove the most notable step in the development of the wave theory since Roemer's original discovery of the velocity of light in 1675. Outline of Theory. An outline of the chief conclusions communicated to the London Times is condensed below: "1. The mean velocity of the wireless wave was found to be about 175,000 miles per second. This figure is about 13,000 miles per second less than that of light, but ten years ago we did not suspect the cause. "2. In March last a wireless signal was sent from the sending station near New York to Warsaw, Poland, and reflected back in 0.054 of a second of time. The double distance is 8,500 miles, and the transmission comes out about 158,000 miles per second. "3. The mean of the two independent determinations of the wireless wave is 165,500 miles per second. "4. What is the cause of this? The aetheron or particle of ether is only one-four thousandth part as large in diameter as the hydrogen molecule, so that compared to ordinary molecules of the size of oranges the aetherons would be like smoke from a cigar, and moving with a velocity of 204,000 miles per second. The wave travels through the solid earth as well as through the air and free space above the air, but is much resisted in the solid globe. As the ether is 689,321,600,000 times more elastic than air in proportion to its density—thus almost infinitely elastic—the medium cannot suffer a break in its continuity, yet the movement above the earth is held back by the slower movement of the wave in the earth. The resistance in the globe thus acts as a drag on the wave at its base. The result is that the wave bends around the earth, as long known yet heretofore not generally understood. "5. This bending is quite analogous to the change of form of water waves as they run ashore—the top of the wave gains on the base. "The results are of interest in connection with the wave theory of magnetism and the cause of universal gravitation, because they bear on the cause of the fluctuation of the moon's mean motion." Washington.—Going to college is among the dangerous occupations, according to information presented before a joint conference of the National Research council and the Personnel Research federation by Dr. Donald A. Laird, associate professor of psychology at Colgate university. One man out of every 1,400, between the age of twenty and twenty-four, goes insane, according to the latest census reports, while only one woman out of 1,800 of the same age loses control of her reason. Doctor Laird has found that among college students the incidence of mental disorder is much higher, being one out of every 1,000 of students in the colleges he studied. “There may be more mental breakdowns among college students,” Doctor Laird said, “because they live a competitive intellectual existence, and any mental handicap is quickly noticed.” Gives Antitoxin Forcibly to Cut Diphtheria Lebanon, Pa—Having forcibly administered antitoxin to members of the faith tabernacle, a cult of faith curaa, local health authorities are hopeful of checking the spread of diphtheria, which in three weeks has caused the deaths of nine persons. All the victims were members of families of the faith tabernacle and all, the authorities declared, had been denied medical attention. Five of the deaths occurred in the family of Mrs. Charles Roth, her husband and four children dying since April 21. One of the children died while the funeral of another was being held. Mrs. Roth had refused medical treatment for her family. She and four surviving children were inoculated, although she would not give verbal consent, but submitted without protest. Mammal in California Bakersfield, Cal.-What are believed to be the most complete portions ever discovered of a squalid, a mammal that existed in the Miocene age from one-half million to two million years ago, have been found by Charles Morrice, a student of prehistoric life, on Shark Tooth mountain, near the Kern river oil fields. Reconstruction of the squalid, Morrice said, has been made in Germany, Australia and England from much less portions of the mammal than he has found.

They hope to bring next year’s convention to Omaha. Wichita, Kansas, is making a bid for the convention and is Omaha's most formidable rival. This great meeting of the Baptists would bring about 2,000 delegates and visitors here. It is hoped that the Omaha delegation will be successful. Such a convention held here would not only be beneficial to the great Baptist denomination but would be an inspiration to the religi- ous forces of this city. HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES At the commencement exercises of the combined high schools of the city held in the Municipal auditorium last Friday night several colored students received their diplomas, three from Central and four from Technical. Miss Mabel Ray of Central will re- ceive her diploma in September, being accounted a June graduate. The Cen- tral graduates were Miss Ernestine E. Singleton, Joseph Roy Dorsey and Stanley Madison, and those of ‘Tech- nical, the Misses Lucy Mae Allen, Bernice E. Givens, Verdia D. Jenkin: and Mr, Dwight Robinson Dorsey. Miss Singleton will enter Creighton university to study pharmacy; Miss Jenkins will probably enter the Uni- versity of Omaha, Plans of the other students are as yet indefinite, but the boys hope to be able to enter college. BETHEL A, M. E. CHURCH Rev. Frederick Divers, Pastor. Everything depends on the point of view—the backward or the forward look. Tt is said that the pessimist laments that the rose grows out of the mud, but the optimist rejoices that the mud grows into @ rose, thus the state of society or conditions of the church may be viewed by some as indicative of degeneracy, but we are thankful for those who forcast progress, The third quarterly conference showed a very marked improvement. ‘The attendance was larger, and the spiritual response was to a glorious height, We wish to thank Mrs. Porter for the beautiful basket of flowers and the many others who contributed to the happiness of the day.

FIRST CLASS WORK SAVE WILD FLOWERS IS ANNUAL APPEAL SAVE WILD FLOWERS IS ANNUAL APPEAL "Nature Lovers" Asked Not to Despoil Woods. Washington.—Help save the wild flowers—especially the dogwood! Each spring an appeal is being made to the chivalry and thoughtfulness of the public in behalf of America's vanishing and defenseless wild flowers. For some obscure reason there are countless Americans of both sexes who would scorn to attack the little animals of the woods and fields, but who do not hesitate to wage relentless warfare on the flowers. When spring trustingly sends out the most delicate blossoms these thoughtless "nature lovers" go out to pluck, tear and cast aside. Clumps of pale-colored bowers that made a picture in their original setting of grass, trees and sky soon lose their freshness when carried off in bouquets. Most people know this. Yet toward the close of a spring Sunday every suburban road every street car is strewn with wilted flowers tosseed by tired holiday makers. Despoil Spring Beauty. These flowers might have bloomed for another week to give pleasure to many more people. But that is not the real tragedy of the wild flowers. The worst of the situation is that in so many cases the flower pickers are permanently despoiling the beauty of spring. Take the dogwood, for instance. This is not a tiny plant to be easily pulled up by children. It is a tree, generally about the size of a fruit tree. Yet the dogwood is being more ruthlessly destroyed than any other native tree or plant. Botanists say that at the present rate of destructiveness the native American dogwood will be extinct within twenty-five years. The Wild Flower Preservation society, which campaigns every year to save the American flowers, emphasizes one particular plant each spring. This year dogwood is given the spotlight because it is so rapidly disappearing. The dogwood tree is one of the most beautiful trees that can be found, and it is a native American. It once grew in our woods in profusion, and the common flowering variety is still found from Canada to Florida along the Atlantic coast and quite far to the west. Another variety grows along the Pacific coast. It is a rather sturdy tree, resistant to disease and adaptable to a variety of growing conditions. When the wild dogwood blooms in early spring the tree becomes a mass of white. Each white petal has a distinctive notch in the edge which makes the dogwood blossom one of the most attractive motifs for artistic design. The so-called blossom, by the way, is not really the flowers of the tree at all. The white petals are technically called bracts or the involucrate. They are only modified leaves. The flowers are the little bunches of light green which cluster in the center of the white involucrate. Dogwood Blossoms Perishable. Dogwood Blossoms Perishable. A dogwood tree in bloom against a background of other foliage transforms any country road or garden. The same may be said of the dogwood when it bears its crop of red berries in late autumn. At both seasons the dogwood branches seem to shriek, "Carry me home," to the country tourist. At least, that is how he—or she—interprets the message of the tree. The result is, generally, that the passer-by goes up to the tree and tears off a few sprays. The tearing process strips down the bark, leaving open wounds. If the wounds are large fungus disease may set in and the tree may die. This happens only too often. The Wild Flower Preservation society is urging motorists and hikers to enjoy the dogwood on the tree, carry away a mental picture of it in all its freshness, and leave it for others to enjoy. If branches must be taken home, they should at any rate be cut clean with a sharp knife, so as to avoid injury to the tree. That so much dogwood is destroyed is particularly unfortunate because the sprays are so perishable that the cut branches are of little use. Florists know how to pack them in moss, but the Sunday excursionist simply trails along in the hot sun with the branches over one arm, or else he lays them down in a jolting, dusty automobile. The white petals become brown and crushed, and once faded cannot be revived. There are a number of wild-life preserves on which the wild flowers, as well as animals, birds, and insects, receive protection. These shut-off areas, each covering from 50 to 500 acres, are guarded by watchmen, to make sure that the flowers and wild creatures have a chance to grow and multiply unmolested. Robs Quakes of Terror Spezia, Italy.—Earthquakes need no longer cause loss of life, according to Professor Caselli, seismologist, who claims to have constructed an apparatus, already patented, whereby earthquakes are announced at least 15 minutes before they occur. The scientist also claims to be able, with very slight possibility of error, to locate beforehand the centers of telluric phenomena, their intensity and the situation of their most intense manifestations. Signor Caselli's telluric prophesies for last March, which were deposited with a notary here some time in advance of the expected disturbances, were confirmed by subsequent events. NEGRO FARM OWNERS (Lincoln News Service.) Washington, D. C., June 20—Colored farmers own and operate farms in every state and in about three-fourths of all of the counties in the United States. In the north, the state of Missouri leads in the number of acres owned by them, and is followed by Kansas, Ohio, Illinois, Michigan, Colorado, California and Indiana, in PROVIDES HOME FOR CONVICTS' CHILDREN Sophie Lyons, Former Criminal, Leaves Fund. Detroit, Mich.—A perpetual trust fund, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to the establishment of a home for children whose parents are prison inmates, is created under the will of Sophie Lyons Burke, former international confidence woman, who died here recently. The will, discovered in a safe deposit vault, drilled open in the presence of court attaches, does not indicate the amount to be devoted to the creation of the home, but leaves the residue of Mrs. Burke's estate to that purpose after numerous bequests to relatives and friends. In providing for the children's home, the will specifies that any child between two and four years of age, one or both of whose parents may be a prison inmate, shall be eligible to admittance to the home. Provision also was made for 375 annual subscriptions to a popular weekly periodical to be distributed among prisons throughout the country. Mrs. Burke, who gave up a career of crime to preach observance of the law and the futility of crime, left an estate valued variously at from $150,000 to $300,000, mostly in Detroit real estate, where she made her fortune by investing and speculating in land. When the safe deposit vault was opened it was found to contain besides numerous deeds and other papers, considerable jewelry knotted in the bottom of an old stocking. The jewelry was estimated to be worth $25,000, and included one ring set with 12 diamonds, which was identified as the engagement ring given her by "Jimmy" Burke when the couple were at the height of their career. Swedish Nobleman Works as Deckhand on Steamer INTERNATIONAL Count August Svensson, twenty years old, and heir of Duke Charles of Sweden, was discovered holstoning the deck of the Grace liner, Santa Louisa. The count, who will inherit the title and vast estate of Duke Charles, is rated a quartermaster on the ship and is considered a real seagoing shipmate by the crew. New Pneumonia Serum Boston.—Discovery of a new treatment for pneumonia in the form of an improved serum which it is thought may reduce the death rate from this disease by 25 or possibly 50 per cent, was described by Dr. Lloyd D. Felton, assistant professor of preventive medicine at the Harvard medical school, in an address at the New England Health institute. The treatment consisted, he said, of a method of precipitating and concentrating the antibodies in anti-pneumococcus serum. The original serum, which has been known for some time, was weak, he added, and its value was diminished by the fact that it produced violent reactions in the form of chills, serum sickness and rashes. Doctor Felton said he had been able to eliminate the harmful substances from the serum. Until Bread's in Oven Lyon. Mass.-Lynn police went to the home of Mrs. Mary Brown to arrest her on the charge of keeping and exposing liquor for sale. Mary was in the midst of a bread mixing and, at her plen that the batch would spoll unless kneaded, the officers waited until the dough was ready for the oven. Then they arrested her.

But upon their first face-to-face meeting he discovered that her teeth were not clean. And he soon lost interest. So 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.
