WEST COMMITTEE SECRET'Y Matthews Forecasted as Influential and Very Prominent Character in Organization of Colored Voters. Chicago, June 27.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—Chicago is the republican political capitol of the nation. William M. Butler, of Massachusetts, who has succeeded John T. Adams, of Iowa, as chairman of the republican national committee, has announced officially that the chief headquarters of the campaign will be in Chicago, with branches in New York, Los Angeles and possibly Washington. The famous Wrigley building, just across the Chicago river on Michigan boulevard, will be the headquarters of the committee and Mr. Butler will spend much of his time in Chicago. Roy O. West, of Chicago, who has been named Secretary of the Committee, succeeding George B. Lockwood, of Indiana, will function, according to information, in a more active manner in management than did his predecessor. This doubtless is due to the fact that West is a political strategist of the first water. He knows the game from Augusta, Ga., to Zanesville, O., and that's that. How is the racial vote to be appealed to? It is a "safe and sane" bet that colored America will be more in the political limelight this Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-four than in any other previous year of Our Lord. The reason is obvious, and beyond contradiction. In the first place, there are more votes to go after in the states of the big middle west and near east, where there are to be lively contests. By tens of thousands, there are votes to stack up in Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, New Jersey and many other states where the sum total has been materially changed in the last four years. Maryland, Massachusetts, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and Wisconsin will have about the same type of pull as heretofore. New York will be a great battle ground, together with Pennsylvania and with the assertion that democrats are hoping to carry Pennsylvania, republicans will doubtless inquire in to the immediate cause for such a brazen assertion, which is regarded as much republican as Mississippi is democratic. The Associated Negro Press can state with authority that it has not been fully determined as to the exact manner in which the colored votes of the country will be organized by republicans. William C. Matthews, of Boston, rests his case with the action of the group meeting at the Elks Rest in Cleveland, and there is very good reason to believe that Matthews will get a favorable hearing. By virtue of their positions as members of the Republican National Committee, Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson and Attorney Perry W. Howard, will be a de facto part of the republican wheel of progress. Their political wisdom and strategy will be utilized to the utmost by the committee, it is understood. Careful and unbiased investigation discloses the fact that the new republican organization proposes to give a fair hearing to the opinion and viewpoints of all divisions of the various voting groups. There are those who are desirous of having bureaus as in the Harding-Coolidge campaign of 1920, and there are those who desire the "representatives to be scattered about." It will be for Chairman Butler and his advisory committee to determine which method is the more effective. It will be several weeks before the program has been entirely mapped out. Charles G. Dawes, Chicago banker and philanthropist, who is named as the republican candidate for vice-president, is bitterly opposed to the Ku Klux organization, and was, more than a year ago, the organizer of a body known as the "Minute Men of the Constitution", whose avowed object is to uphold law and order. Mr. Dawes has general familiarity with colored America, has a few individual friends THE MONITOR MAYOR OF PHILADELPHIA WELCOMES CONFERENCE Philadelphia, Pa., June 27.—Mayor W. Freeland Kendrick of this city at the opening mass meeting Wednesday night of the Fifteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People delivered the following address of welcome: "As mayor of Philadelphia I extend a hearty welcome to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People of the United States. 'It is my earnest wish that your Annual Conference to be in session here from June 25th to July 2nd may result in much good to your people in our city and to your entire race throughout the country. "It was in Pennsylvania, in 1790, that the first definite step was taken toward the abolition of slavery in the United States. Since then the progress of your race in this country has been steady and upward, which augurs well for further and greater development in the future. "Conventions like the one to be held by your Association will not only accelerate that development, but will bring about a co-operation and understanding between the races so necessary for the welfare and advancement of our great nation." THE GOOD OLD TYPE, THE KIND ADMIRED Atlanta, Ga., June 27.—(By the Associated Negro Press.)—The white folk of Georgia are not disposed to think much of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Georgia national committee, but they make no effort to conceal their admiration of Jim Democrat, an antebellum Negro whom they took and are showing off at the democratic convention in New York, where they hope McAdoo will be made the presidential nominee. Jim Democrat went right along with the white delegates. To distinguish him a card was attached to his coat lapel, reading: "Jim Democrat is my name, of Marietta, Ga., the birthplace of Wm. Gibbs McAdoo. I am an old ex-slab darkey. I drove the attending physician to the McAdoo home on the night that William Gibbs McAdoo was born. I came here with the Georgia delegation to see him nominated for president. Won't you vote for him?"

Coppin of the African Methodist Episcopal church died at his home last night of pneumonia. He was 76 years old. Bishop Coppin had supervision over the fourth Episcopal district which comprises the states of Michigan, Illinois and Indiana. New York, N. Y., June 27.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—While, returning from a club engagement at 4 o'clock in the morning, Gertrude Saunders, formerly "Shuffle Along" star, ran dawn an ice wagon with her automobile, injuring the driver. She was arrested and obliged to leave her car as bond until the hearing. Upon an invitation from the Colored Commercial Club several business men attended a meeting at the club rooms Tuesday night and discussed plans for closer and more effective cooperation. A tentative organization was formed to further this plan and another meeting to perfect arrangements will be held next Thursday night, to which all business men are invited. within the race in whom he believes profoundly, but has never been spectacular in his declarations. In Evanston, Ill., the Chicago suburban home of the nominee, there are about 6,000 colored residents, and the community spirit of the aristocratic suburb, the home of Northwestern university and hundreds of Chicago's wealthiest folk, has always been generous and favorable. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, JUNE 27, 1924 re in S sly close on the Saturday Y OF THE MART llum Days, Dealing With Slave I By Francis J. Grimke Part VIII (By The Associated Negro Press) Meet Death Like Brave Men (Concluded.) A STORY OF THE MARTYRS OF 1822 A Story of Ante-Bellum Days, Dealing With Slave Insurrection at Charleston FIGHTING AGAINST ODDS The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is the watch dog of the race. It stands as an ever present enemy against those forces which seek to destroy American ideals. It has brought the race problem, with all of its attendant horrors before the world in an intelligent and forceful manner. It champions the cause of unfortunates who are unable to combat the sinister influences which oppress the. It protests day and night against segregation and its allied evils. Because it is engaged in a heroic struggle against wrong, it is not popular with white people and to our shame, it is not supported by colored people. The National Association has fought courageously in our courts to free victims from unjust confinement. In short, the N. A. A. C. P. is honored and feared more than any other association working for the uplift of our people. Possibly it has not done everything that it should have done and has done some things it should not have done. Its method of procedure may not please every one. However, it is a fact that cannot be gainless, the N. A. A. C. P. stands in the vanguard working for the elevation of a down trodden people. Regardless of what we think of the individuals who head the association every fair minded person must admit that it has been instrumental in ac- ntal in ac- A curious circumstance connected with this plot was the high regard in which the insurgents were held by the whites. But instead of my own, I prefer to insert in this place the remarks of the slave judges on this head. In their story of the plot they observed: "The character and condition of most of the insurgents were such as rendered them objects the least liable to suspicion. It is a melancholy truth, that the general good conduct of all the leaders, except Gullah Jack, had secured to them not only the unlimited confidence of their owners, but they had been indulged in every comfort and allowed every privilege compatible with their situation in the community, and although Gullah Jack was not remarkable for the correctness of his deportment, he by no means sustained a bad character . . . But not only were the leaders of good character and much indulged by their owners, but this was generally the case with all who were convicted, many of them possessed the highest confidence of their owners, and not one of bad character." Comment on this significant fact is unnecessary. It contains a lesson and a warning which a fool need not err in reading and understanding. Oppression is a powder magazine exposed always to the danger of explosion from spontaneous combustion. Verbum sat sapienti. Another curious circumstance connected with this history was the trial and conviction of four white men, on indictments for attempting to incite the slaves to insurrection. They were each sentenced to fine and imprisonment, the fines ranging from $100 to $1,000, and the terms of imprisonment, from three to twelve months. And now for the concluding act of this tragedy, for a final glance at four of its black heroes and martyrs as they appeared to the slave judges, who tried them, and to whose hostile pen we are indebted for this last impressive picture of their courage, their fortitude and their greatness of soul. Here it is: "When Vesey was tried, he folded his arms and seemed to pay great attention to the testimony, given against him, but with his eyes fixed on the floor. In this situation he remained immovable, until the witnesses had been examined by the court, and cross-examined by his counsel, when he requested to be allowed to examine the witnesses himself. He at first questioned them in the dictatorial, despotic manner, in which he was probably accustomed to address them; but this not producing the desired effect, he questioned them with affected surprise and concern for hearing false testimony against him; still falling in his purpose, he then examined them strictly as to dates, but could not make them contradict (Concluded.) themselves. The evidence being closed, he addressed the court at considerable length . . . when he received his sentence the tears trickled down his cheeks." I cannot, of course, speak positively respecting the exact nature of the thought or feeling which lay back of those those sad tears of our hero. But of this I am confident that they were not produced by any weak or momentary fear of death, and I am equally sure that they were not caused by remorse for the part which he had taken, as chief of a plot to give freedom to his race. Perhaps, in that solemn moment, he remembered the time, years before, when he might have sailed for Africa, and there have helped to build, in freedom and security, an asylum for himself and his people, where all of the glad dreams of his strenuous and stormy life might have been realized, and also how he had put behind him the temptation, "because," as he expressed it, "he wanted to stay and see what he could do for his fellow creatures in bondage." At the thought of it all, the triumph of slavery, the treachery of black men, the immedicable grief which arises from wasted labors and balked purposes, and wide-spreading failures, is it surprising that in that supreme moment hot tears gushed from the eyes of that stricken but lion-hearted man? But to return to the last picture of the martyrs before their slave judges: "Rolla when arraigned affected not to understand the charge against him, and when it was at his request further explained to him, assumed with wonderful adroitness, astonishment and surprise. He was remarkable throughout his trial for great presence and composure of mind. When he was informed he was convicted and was advised to prepare for death, though he had previously (but after trial) confessed his guilt, he appeared perfectly confounded, but exhibited no signs of fear. In Ned's behavior there was nothing remarkable, but his countenance was stern and immovable, even whilst he was receiving the sentence of death; from his looks it was impossible to discover or conjecture what were his feelings. Not so with Peter, for in his countenance were strongly marked disappointed ambition, revenge, indignation, and an anxiety to know how far the discoveries had extended, and the same emo- complishing much good for colored people. Results are the only fair means by which a movement can be judged. The main question is, what has it done? Scan the annual report for 1923 and the answer jumps out from every page. The association has accomplished great things for colored people. Because it is working for our elevation, it should have our support. Every Negro in America, it does not make any difference what his position in life may be, is affected by race hate. It is as inescapable as the air we breathe or the water we drink. This common enemy of the race makes us brothers suffering the same sorrows, enduring the same heartaches and chafing under the identical task masters. The agony which is caused by this curse to humanity stinks to heaven and transcends all others. How it is possible for any Negro to see the sufferings and agonies of his people without trying to correct them is beyond understanding. If colored Americans can be satisfied while coals of fire are heaped upon their heads without joining forces with those agencies which are working for our mutual benefit, they are indeed inferior and deserve the punishment meted out to them by the dominant group. If colored Americans can sit down and see the gossest and most inhuman insults heaped upon them tions were exhibited in his conduct. He did not appear to fear personal consequences, for his whole behavior indicated the reverse; but exhibited an evident anxiety for the success of their plan, in which his whole soul was embarked. His countenance and behavior were the same when he received his sentence, and his only words were on retiring. I suppose you will let me see my wife and family before I die?" and that not in a supplicating tone. When he was asked a day or two after, if it was possible he could wish to see his master and family murdered who had treated him so kindly, he only replied to the question by a smile. The unquailing courage, the stern fidelity to engagements, and the spirit of devotion and self-sacrifice which characterized so signally the leaders of this slave plot, culminated, it seems to me, in the unbending will and grandeur of soul of Peter Poyas, during those last, tragic days in Charleston. I doubt if in six thousand years the world has produced a finer example of fortitude and greatness of mind in presence of death, than did this Negro slave exhibit in the black hole of the Charleston work house, when conversing with his chief, and with Rolla and Ned Bennett, touching their approaching death, and the safety of their faithful and forlorn followers, he uttered this intrepid injunction: "Do not open your lips! De silent as you shall see me do." Such words, considering the circumstances under which they were spoken, were worthy of a son of Sparta, or of Rome, when Sparta and Rome were at their highest levels as breeders of iron men. It is verily no light thing for the Negroes of the United States to have produced such a man, such a hero and martyr. It is certainly no light heritage, the knowledge, that his brave blood flows in their veins. For history does not record, that any other of its long and shining line of heroes and martyrms ever met death, anywhere on this globe, in a holier cause or a sublimer mood, than died this Spartan-like slave, more than three quarters of a century ago. May some future Rembrandt have the courage, as the genius, to paint that tragic and imposing scene, with its deep shadows and high lights as I see it now; the dark and hideous dungeon, the sombre figures and grim faces of the four glorious black martyrns, with Peter in the midst, speaking his deathless words: "Do not open your lips! Die silent as you shall see me do." "Right forever on the scaffold, Wrong forever on the throne, Yet that scaffold sways the future And, behind the dim unknown, Standeh God within the shadow, Keeping watch above His own." ( E n d ) without offering vigorous resistance, they are unfit to be called men and ought suffer the agonies of hell. If we are too selfish and self-centered to work for our full rights as American citizens we should not have those rights and even those which we do have should be taken away. Since the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has a working program it would seem wise for all of us to join forces with it. The effectiveness of the association's work depends upon the number of its membership. The larger the membership, the greater its powers. It is doing much. It can do infinitely more if colored Americans would take hold of this work and make its ultimate aim more certain. The association does not belong to DuBois, Johnson, Spingarn, Pickens or any other individual. The organization is ours, founded and fostered in the interest of all colored people. God knows, the colored people need something to look out for their interests. Therefore, when we permit our little individual differences to interfere with our final triumph we are worse than fools and our condition is to be pitted. Suppose we get behind the N. A. A. C. P. and make it hum for righteousness. Let us prove to the world that we are men and women worthy of respect and as such demand absolute equality as Americans—Philadelphia Tribune. and P am who lea Sunday ANNIVERSARY WEEK OF ZION BAPTIST CHURCH Zion Baptist Church, Twenty-second and Grant street, will observe Anniv- ersary Week from June 29th to July 6th, in commemoration of the thirty-sixth anniversary of organiza- tion of the church and the fourteenth anniversary of the pastorate of the Rev.

Dr. and Mrs. Edwards, assisted by their daughter, Mrs. Anthone Robinson, received the guests; the hostess wearing orchid chiffon beaded with rhinestones and the daughter silver cloth trimmed with black velvet and rhinestones. Many other beautiful and elaborate gowns were worn making the party a gorgeous affair. Autographs of the guests were received by three little girls costumed as flowers, Marjorie Jane Edwards, Celestine Smith and Albertine Johnson, who also presented the monogramed programs and novelties. At 12:05 an intermission was filled with a program nocti: A powderpuff dance by Miss Margaret Bell; vocal solo by Dr. A. Gerald Edwards, Jr., and a piano solo by Mr. Valrez Spratlin of Denver.

(THOSE who knew Robert Cowell, the kindly, warm-hearted, broad- minded, justice-loving Christian gen- tleman who last week was called to rest, can well believe that having served God in his generation he was gathered unto his fathers, “having the testimony of @ good conscience; in the communion of the Catholic Chureb; in the confidence of « on tain faith; in the comfort of a reason- able, religious and holy hope; im favour with God and in perfect charity with the world,” to quote the expres- sive and beautiful language of the Book of Common Prayer. The city which he loved and to which he gave such willing, unstinted and cheerful service is richer for the life and example of Rober: Cowell. A business man of the highest ideqls, honor and integrity, he did not make business his slave but regarded it rather as a servant of the public, his chosen field in which he could serve humanity. Nor did his engrossment therein pre- vent his giving generously, mos: generously, of his time and means for the public weal. Every worthy cause found in him a ready helper. His sympathy was broad. He knew no class or race distinctions. With him manhood, character and worth were what counted. A notable example of this was his appoin‘ment some years ago of a competent colored girl to a responsible position in the firm of which he was then vice-president and who remained an employee of the firm until she voluntarily resigned to take a position in another city. Labor, suspicious of capital and employers, trusted him absolutely because of his honesty and high sense of justice. He had the courage to say and do what he believed to be right, » very rare trai: in these days. In him our peo- ple found a courageous, warm-heart- ed and sympathetic friend, because his love for humanity was catholic enough to embrace us and he was interested in helping all nen attain the highest stature of manhood. Nor did he un- derestimate our struggle. In our last conversation shortly before his illness he said, “Your people have a hard battle before them and at times it must seem quite discouraging, because of the very apparent unwillingness upon the part of so many to lend co- operation. There seems to be so many things that are wrong and s0 much selfishness and self-seeking that I sometimes question whether after sll our country has made much real pro- gress. It seems that there's a decided lowering of our standards and ideals. This is general. Its bearing upon your peculiar position is obvious. Your fight is a hard one. But, don’t give up. With your sunny optimism it’s hardly necessary for nie to tell you this, Right must eventually prevail, although at times conditions make us doubt.” We did not dream that that ‘was the last time we would see Rob- ert Cowell alive. This then wos his parting message to us and to our peo- ple. It is one that we should cherish and act upon. Personally, we thank God for the life, example and friend- ship of Robert Cowell, of whom the world hag all too few.

THE MONITOR Ey FORGIVE WRECKER OF MANY FORTUNES Friends Give Him an Ova- tion on His Return. Tunica, Miss—After an absence of 11 years, during which time he played the role of chauffeur, clerk and mer. chant in various cities in the United States and Canad, Leo Lesser, for mer planter, cotton factor, banker, manufacturer and philanthropist, re turned home, was forgiven by his le gion of friends and the courts and an nounced hig determination to repay his many and varied creditors, dollar for dollar, the almost countless sums large and small, they lost when he went away and left a score of wrecked business firms and « trail of worthless paper. Hundreds of Tunica county citizens apprised in advance of Lesser's home coming, met him at the train and with one voice bade him welcome. What ever odium followed In the wake ot his departure in 1918 was forgotten in the rejoicing over his return. Although he was charged in eight Indictments with embezzlement, forg ery and fraudulent breach of trust dozens of men and women recall that Leo Lesser tiad befriended them in the days when his meteoric career was cast across the sky of the financial and business world.

Lesser went before Judge W. A. Al corn to face a charge of embezzle ment {n connection with the failure of the Bank of Tuntea, of which be was the president. A petition signed by 60 citizens of Tunlea county, and asking that the charge be dismissed, was pre sented to the court.

For lovers, separated by thousands of miles, the law of Portugal provides that & relative of the bridegroom muy stand beside the bride while a priest, or clyil official, conducts the ceremony. ‘The marriage was solemnlzed in a lit tle Portuguese village and Mra. Go ez set proudly forth to meet her hue band. Immigrant officials at Providence de nied admission to her on the ground that she was illiterate. ‘They pointed out the marriage by profy was Invalid under the law of the United States. Judge J. A. Lowell in the Massachu- setts District court sald in part in om dering admission : “Gomez was following an Illustrious precedent set in 1516 by Vasco Nunes de Balboa, the discoverer of the Pa- cific ocean, who was wedded by proxy while in Darien to the daughter (who was in Spain) of the royal governor, Pedrarias.” ‘The Judge then established in his opinion that the marriage is governed by the law of the country in which it takes place and directs: “Let the writ et habeas corpus levee.” Discover New Method of Making Crystals Tokyo—A startling invention by a Japanese is given prominence in local mewspapers. ‘Two professors of the Tokyo Imperial university have per fected a method of manufacturing per fect artificial crystals.

The court holds that any owners of real estate or group of owners who enter into agreements or covenants not to sell the property eet forth in such agreements, sre legally bound by such agreements and covenants. "What is more amazing, the learned court held that such agreements are not “segregation”, because Negroes ‘ean combine and exclude sate of prop- ‘erties to whites under similar agree- ments. Segregation hag been held by ‘the United States Supreme Court. to ‘be illegal, hence, to avoid that rock, ‘the District Court, per force, had to ‘hold that contractual exclusion is not segroration. A wonderfut decision, ‘one worthy as & successor of Justice Taney's Dred Scott decision. In order that there can be no fur- ther play upon words by the courts it will be necessary. to secure from the United States Supreme Court @ full and complete definition of “segrega- tion” as falling within the inhibition of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the federal statutes thereunder. ‘There fg jfust sbout as much sense, and no more, in a court declaring that segregation 1g not segregation when whites segregate Negroes because Ne- Kroes can also segregate whites, as there would be in solemnly declaring that murder ig not murder when a white man or a mob murders a Negro because Negroes can also murder white men. This decision by the, highest local court in the capital of the nation shows the drift of sentiment among the white people and the intense effort that is going to be made to hedge in and restrict the Negro in his rights and privileges inthis country, It is an index finger that points to an at- tempt to unite and concentrate the white people of this country upon the prinetple of law laid down in the Dred Scott decision of seventy years ago, that “the Negro has no rights which the white man is bound to respect.” It means that, instead of Justice plain, simple and unadorned, there is going to be an effort to subvert Justice and substitute therefor tfle white man’s will in all matters in which the Negro is involved as a party contestant. , There Js nothing left for the Negro ie to tight the demnable outrage to the last ditch in every way known to ‘the art of warfare—The Baltimore Peeta OFFICIAL NOTICE U.

THE WHATNOT COLUMN By Robert P. Bdwards for The Asso- ciated Negro Press. WHAT WAS MEROE? ‘Meroe, the ancient capital of Bthio- pis, was a city larger than the fa- mous Memphis. The temple of Am- mon, where kings were crowned, was one of the largest in the Valley of the Nile. The great walls of cut stones were fifteen feet thick and thirty feet high. Heaps of iron-slag and furnaces for smelting {ron were dis- covered and there were magnificant duays and landing places on the river- side for the export of iron, WHO WAS ANDRE CAILLOUS? Captain Andre Caillous, hero of the assault on Port Hudson, 1863, was the commander of the color company of the First Louisians. He was a leader by birth and education, and moved in eager zeal among his men, cheering them on by words and his own noble example, with left arm already shat- tered, he proudly refused to leave the field. In @ last effort of heroism, he sprang to the front of his company, commanded his men to follow him and in the face of a murderous fire, gal- lantly leq them forward until a shell smote him to death but fifty yards from the works. Born free, he raised his own company, and died with them in order that his enslaved brethren might taste of the freedom he had en- Joyed. “ WHO IS THE CHAMPION CORN PRODUCER?

Washington.—"If the humble cow ever aspired to trademark her products the average shopper would be amazed at the labels 'Made from milk' which would adorn his purchases—purchases ranging from horn-rim spectacles to chessmen, magazines to radio sets," says a bulletin from the National Geographic society's Washington headquarters. "Consider a debutante's ball, which is a most inappropriate place to contemplate the unromantic cow. The occasion would lose much of its glamor if the cow didn't supply the milk which helps provide many other adducts than the ice cream. "Yonder maiden's burnished golden hair is kept in place by a faring comb, made of milk; she toys with a milk-handed fan; she made her toilet somewhat hastily with an array of articles largely made of milk, because she received her belated invitation from a procrastinating young man through a telephone receiver made of milk. She is jotting down her dance engagements on a program made of milk, while she chats during intermission with an escort flecking ashes from a cigarette in a milk-made holder. "Sounds a bit far-fetched, doesn't it? But 3 per cent of casin in cow's milk today is the raw material for a kaleidoscopic array of manufactured products. "Nor does this take into account that, for every six couples at the dance, somewhere in the background is one cow. For at our present rate of consumption every twelve persons consume the milk product of one cow. Milk as Staff of Life. "Bread has a reputation for being the 'staff of life,' but milk more nearly fulfills that definition. Substitutes for our customary bread may be had; but there is no substitute for milk. Our civilization depends literally upon a plentiful supply of good milk. "Even the elimination of the casein from milk, the element which provides most of the by-products, would be inconvenient. Chemically, casein is the principal nitrogenous constituent of milk; popularly, it is the 'curd'; and its first and principal use is for cheese. "Our animal immigrants have been neglected. Their importance deserves a society of their descendants. Economic geography has been influenced by the animal winners of our West. When, in 1626, a packet of the Dutch West India company landed on Manhattan island with a cargo of domestic animals and agricultural implements it paved the way for a principal industry of the Empire state of 1924. Economically, the New Amsterdam settlers were cheesemakers. "After the Black Hawk war, in 1832, the progeny of these settlers shaped Wisconsin's economic destiny by driving their covered wagons up the west shore of Lake Michigan. Wherefore Wisconsin last year produced $3,000,000 worth of cheese. "The very names of cheeses—Cheshire, Gorgonzola, Edam, Cheddar, Parmesan, and many others—read like a gazetteer. The genealogist, Sherlock Holmes of the family tree, might get important clues of people's origin by the cheeses they eat. "There is a fascination, too, in the making of cheese. The spherical Edam cones are reputed to be dark red to this day because, in the days before pure food laws, a consignment was tinted with a harmless solution of carmine. Just why people like to eat in pink, rather than yellow, is a problem for the psychololedists, but that preference not only keeps the cheese red, but it has virtually eliminated yellow tomatoes from the market, and causes a heavy monetary loss to salmon shippers it, perchance, their catch to be white instead of pink. Some Decorative Cheeses. "The Italian Parmesan cheeses are kept for several years and then are polished with a mixture of charcoal and linseed oil until they shine like ebony. The housewife throws moldy bread into the garbage pail, but when she buys Roquefort cheese she judges its quality by the green blotches, which are developed by introducing bread mold into the sheep's milk of which Roquefort is made. "In recent years manufacturers have become active competitors of cheesemakers in buying casein. The substance is highly cohesive and is little affected by heat or moisture. Hence it is used as glue, and also as a binder in making glazed paper, in dyeing cotton cloth and in piecing together laminated furniture. "If a drug store were to display on a single shelf its articles in which casein is used the exhibit would resemble a rummage sale. There would be earrings and shoe polish, oilcloth and medicinal tablets, photographic plates and strings of beads." India "Flu" Epidemic London.—Between 12,000,000 and 13,000,000 people in India died during the influenza epidemic in the winter of 1918, it is revealed by the Indian census of 1921. The population in 1921 was 318,942,480, an increase of 1.2 per cent over the 1911 census, but it is several points under the 1918 estimated census, due to the epidemic. There are about 9,000,000 more males than females in India, and much headway in education, especially among females, is shown by the 1921 census. In religious beliefs the Hindus number 686 out of every thousand of the population. Mohammedan adherents number 217 a thousand, Buddhist 37, tribal religions 31 and Christians 15. The density of population in the whole of India is now 177 a square mile, varying from a maximum of 578 in Bengal to a minimum of 6 in Baluchistan. KNIFE COULD BE LOST UNDER NAIL Boston.—A knife so small that it can be lost under the nail of the little finger has been made by Solomon Lorenze Baxter, a watchmaker of Wellesley Village. Formed from the stem of his mother's earring, the knife is only one-eighth of an inch long, and has seven parts, consisting of two handles, a back spring, three rivets and a blade. Mr. Baxter has fashioned it exactly like his own regulation-size penkite. The microscopic knife opens and shuts easily and its blade is sharp enough to cut. Mr. Baxter, ever since he was a child, has had for his hobby the making of minute objects. His culminating achievement has been this microscopic knife which he has to carry around in a glass tube. The knife can be seen clinging to the sides of the bottle or on the cork. In addition to this knife, Mr. Baxter has three others which he calls large knives, but which are only a quarter of an inch larger than the microscopic one. He carries them about in a small manila bag. They are strung on a gold chain, one knife made of hard rubber with a shining blade of gold, and the other two mother-of-pearl, with silver blades. Other Unique Knives. The hobby that culminated with the fashioning of the smallest knife in the world, started with the construction of a minute knife made out of a coin for his mother. He followed this one with a knife shaped like a man's leg, the blade fitting into the part corresponding to the thigh. In his early days his only tools were a peg, an awl and a file, and with these he once made a padlock containing 22 rivets, out of six silver quarters of his mother's. Many people have tried to take a picture of his knives, but they are all too small. Mr. Baxter, who is almost seventy-one, has had a varieg and interesting life. He was born in Burnham, Me, and early in his life went out West, where he says cowboys were "wild and wooly" enough. He had many fascinating tales to tell of those days. About the only thing that he brought back East with him was a gambler's lucky ring. It was a plain gold ring, and the gambler traded it to Baxter for a watch, but the luck did not last and Mr. Baxter finally got rid of it. Has Other Hobbies Besides his interest in knives, Mr. Baxter has two other hobbies, clocks and firearms. He makes small banjo clocks, and has been known to finish one in a day. He has made about 12 of them, and no two are alike. His watches and knives have been shown to travelers from all over the world. Among his treasures are antique wooden clocks, more than 150 years old. He likes to make over grandfather clocks and to work in wood, especially mahogany. One of his clocks is a French Willard clock that is very valuable. Among his firearms is a pistol 250 years old, mounted with silver and gold, and an old-fashioned flintlock gun with a pepper box; a gun with a knife attached, and a nameplate in a foreign tongue. One of his fowling pieces, made by a famous firm, has engraved on it a man, a dog, a fountain and roosters, and is very old and valuable. Another of his possessions is a dueling pistol, with the former owner's name on the back. A cork pistol, used in frontier fighting against the Indians, was given by its owner and user, Doctor Newhall, to Mr. Baxter, a personal friend. An Indian gun, shaped much like a midrion used in golf, was given him by his wife's uncle, and it is very old and rare—Boston Globe. Paris.-The analysis of the atom, for which scientists have been searching vainly for years, has been achieved, according to an announcement by Prof. Camille Matignon to the Society of Industrial Chemistry. Although the carbonic atom weighs a billionth billionth of one hundredth of a milligram and is ten billion times smaller than the smallest object perceivable through a microscope. Matignon showed that it was possible not only to weigh it but to analyze its constituents by a process of "ionizing." Through this process, the atoms are charged with electricity, which accelerates the speed at which they revolve, thereby permitting an analysis of comparative calculations of their speed with respect to their weight. The importance of the discovery is that possession of the tiniest particle of any substance now permits correct analysis of the whole. In such a way Matignon analyzed a cubic centimeter of air, proving that it contained one millionth of a cubic centimeter of helium. Find Bones of Miocene Mammal in California Bakersfield, Cal.-What are believed to be the most complete portions ever discovered of a squaloid, 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 squaloid, Morrice said, has been made in Germany, Australia and England from much less portions of the mammal than he has found.

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, are not other person's teeth when he or she is talking.
