Major Norman Had Ignored Warning to Vacate Camp or Stop Boy Scouts from Bathing in Darby Creek.
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Darby, Pa., July 18.—The Ku Klux Klan made its initial attack on children of this section of the country last week when it routed a bunch of Negro boy scouts from slumber and caused many of the younger ones to flee in disorder in their night clothes. The camp was surrounded by two truck loads of men and boys in hooded garments where fired into the several tents where the boys were asleep.
Major Norman, a World War veteran, in charge of the camp advanced with rifle in hand towards a burning cross and returned the fire of the Klan who began to retreat. It was learned that Major Norman had ignored a warning to vacate the camp site or stop his boys from bathing in Darby creek.
When the Klan opened fire Major Norman arose and sensing the meaning of the fire, and with a rifle in his hand advanced towards a burning cross that he saw about a 100 yards from the camp. He returned the fire of the Klan. In the meantime the younger boys had awakened, and became frightened. They fled from their tents in disorder. Seeing this, Major Norman succeeded in gathering the older boys together and they helped to defend the camp. Meanwhile, two other boys had been sent by Major Norman to the police stations in Philadelphia County which was a mile from the scene of action. They found their way through the woods and had several narrow escapes from being shot by the Klan.
On arriving at the police station they gave the alarm and then reenacted the role of Paul Revere by going to the homes of the boys whose parents lived in West Philadelphia and told what had happened. The boys then went from door to door and gave the alarm again.
Knowing the dirty deeds of the Klan nearly a thousand people, women and men, armed to the teeth, left for the scene of action. When they arrived they found the Ku Klux Klan had disappeared and a score of police scoured the woods for them, while Major Norman was rounding up the boys. In the afternoon, the Kleagle of the Klan in this section denied that the Klan had made the attack on the camp and stated that it was a bunch of people who were angry because the Boy Scouts' leader had refused to heed the warning to vacate the camp or else stop his boys from bathing in Darby creek.
Much excitement prevailed in West Philadelphia when the parents of the boys were told of the attack and they feared for the lives of their children. Following the shooting of two policemen in Ardmore, Negroes have begun to leave the suburbs for the city.
$1,000,000 NEGRO BEGINS STOCK S
Durham, N. C., July 18.—With its organization machinery perfected and plans and purposes fully outlined, the National Negro Finance Corporation, capitalized at $1,000,000 with headquarters in the city and with a directorate comprising a number of the most influential and successful men of the race in various sections of the country has already made remarkable progress in the matter of having its stock subscribed by Negroes who realize and appreciate the wonderful service this corporation proposes to render the race, besides the splendid opportunity it offers for the investment of funds.
Organized a little more than a month ago, the interest this project has elicited from the people of the country has been phenominal. That it has struck a popular chord is evidenced by the numerous inquiries from all sections of the country on file in the office of the secretary.

REFUSES TO APPOINT DOCTOR
OVER WHITE NURSES
(By the Associated Negro Press) Philadelphia, Pa., July 18.—After having assured the people that he would exercise his influence in urging the appointment of Dr. John P. Turner, the eminent physician of this city on the staff of the Philadelphia General Hospital, Charles Hall, president of the City Council, was rebuffed when Dr. Paul Krusen, director of public health, flatly refused to appoint a Negro doctor. Although he found no fault with Dr. Turner's ability or character, the health director bowed to the prejudices of southern doctors who he said would resign from the hospital if he appointed Dr. Turner. He further said that he wouldn't appoint a Nego because he would be over the white nurses. Dr. Turner's record, past and present, is a credit to the race. His knowledge in the medical field is recognized by the leading white doctors of this city who constantly seek his advice on serious cases. And as yet Mr. Hall's influence has failed to work.
By William Pickens.
Toronto, Canada.—"In the United States the Negro population is redistributing itself," began William Pickens in an address here June 26 before the conference of social workers. "It is to be no longer a factor of a section but a national factor in every sense. The race problem is not now, if indeed it ever was, solely a problem of the South; it is a problem, and the most vital problem, of the United States of America.
"I am a Southerner, and I want to confess that the chief thing the South has to teach the nation in the matter of dealing with the Negro is what not to do. Now that the problem is moving out all over the nation a study of the Southern method of dealing with the problem for 300 years will teach the rest of us what to avoid.
"The race problem has not been solved in the South; it has been developed there. Verily, then, we should not hope to solve the problem by Southern methods. We must seek others methods—in some cases the opposite methods.
"If the methods used by the South could ever be reduced to one word, that word would be 'segregation'. That involves for the Negro separate and inferior schools, Jim Crow cars, lynch law for court processes, unconstitutional disfranchisement, refusal of admission to or inferior accommodations in all shows and cultural entertainments, in many places no public parks or public libraries, and a general denial of equal accommodation in public places and equal humanhood in the society of man.
"This system has solved no problem. This system can never solve any problem. This system is the problem factory and will continue to be until the end of the system.
"We must substitute for this system community interests for the Negro. We must cease the abortive effort to encyst him; we cannot successfully encyst him; we must assimilate him. Blood assimilation is not necessary—not an end to be proposed at
ORIGINATOR OF "COLOR LINE"
IN PUGILISM DIES BROK
(By the Associated Negro Press)
New York City, N. Y., July 18.—Jim Wakely, the white man who has the distinction of being the first to draw the "color line" in pugilism, is dead. He died Friday night in St. Vincent's Hospital of heart disease, broke and practically friendless after being at one time the possessor of a fortune and thousands of friends.
A generation ago, Wakely, who ran the well-known cafe in sporting circles at Sixth avenue and Forty-second street, was one of the outstanding figures in the sporting world. As manager and backer of John L. Sullivan he gained fame not only as the man who made the famous John L., but as the man who first went on record as refusing to permit his fighter to fight a colored man, the famous and immortal Peter Jackson. Wakely was 75 years old.

any rate. But there must be full assimilation in civil culture and in civic processes; in dustry, in economics, in education, in politics.
"The minority race and the majority race occupying the same territory are indissolubly bound to the same destiny, and they have one set of interests, even if they are not friendly, Warfare between them is like the World war; everybody loses. The best interests of the 10,000,000 or 15,000,-000 Negroes in the United States will be found in the end of every effort to be identical with the best interests of the 90,000,000 or more of the white race there.
"On a platform of justice and equality the two larger racial groups in this country, and all the minor groups, can afford to take their stand. Men speak volubly of maintaining racial superiority or hegemony, as if indeed it were wiser to pursue racial policy than to pursue human justice. Nothing in human history indicates that a race or a nation or an individual must fear to do just.

CAUSED RUN ON BANK: JAILED
(By the Associated Negro Press)
Philadelphia, Pa., July 18.—George C. Bryant was convicted under the new law making it a serious offense to circulate false reports about the financial condition of banks or trust companies, and Judge McCullen sentenced him to one year in prison.
"The offense of which you have been convicted," said Judge McCullen in passing the sentence, "is regarded as a serious offense by the Legislature as is shown by the drastic punishment provided in the act, under which the maximum punishment is five years' imprisonment. The spreading of false reports concerning a financial institution may result disastrously for the bank or trust company, or at least temporarily embarrass it and cause great alarm among depositors." It appeared that Bryant told several depositors in the Citizens' and Southern Banking Company, a colored institution, that the bank was about to "burst" and caused a run to be made on it before the truth was told.
ice or that justice was ever a poor policy for a people. But history is full of lessons that teach the folly of abandoning those wise policies and sound principles that were born of the collective experience of man. Some reason thus: We have to maintain a certain race stock; to maintain that stock we must segregate, and when segregation is inconsistent with justice, we must do injustice. But we cannot prove the soundness of this chain of reasoning. Even the first proposition is a mere assumption. For how do we know that it is the final, the best, the last and the greatest thing to maintain any of the race stocks as we know them today? All the races as we know them are but the resultants of former unions, combinations and crosses.
"If former unions have produced something so excellent, how do we know that further union may not produce something more excellent still? But one thing we do know: That we of the present generation can combine our talents without uniting our blood. If we make civilization our common contribution we will all have more civilization. God has endowed the human race with more talents than He gave to any one geographical race. Our talents vary; our powers may vary. The man of five talents has five talents and the fruits of five talents; the man of two talents has two talents and the fruits of two talents. But if these two men ever get wise and make a common cause, both will enjoy the fruits of seven talents. The white American and the black American can have more civilization through co-operation than either one could have alone, whatever their respective talents may be. Segregation in public and industrial activities and life implies and breeds contempt and makes injustice inevitable. The private right of any citizen in a free country to exclude other private persons from his private domain will always be maintained, but racial segregation in public and industrial estates is indefensible, politically and economically."

SUDDENLY SUCCUMBS
TO SERIOUS SICKNESS
Mrs. John W. Gatus, Who Was Believed to be Recovering From Recent Operation Suddenly Expires Sunday Morning.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Gatus of 2731 Caldwell street, were shocked and saddened by the death of Mrs. Gatus, which occurred unexpectedly at University hospital shortly after 8 o'clock Sunday morning. Mrs. Gatus was taken to the hospital about a month ago where she underwent a serious operation, and although it was known that her condition was critical, her favorable reaction from the operation and her apparently rapid and steady improvement until a few days prior to her death held out the hope that she would soon be able to be home again, and on the highway towards better health than she had enjoyed for several months. She expired suddenly Sunday morning; news of her death, therefore, came as a distinct shock.
Mrs. Pauline Dabney Gatus belonged to one of Illinois' most highly respected and prosperous pioneer families. She was the daughter of Henry and Elmire (Dabney) Owens of Villa Ridge, Pulaski County, Illinois, where she was born October 16, 1875. Receiving a liberal education she taught for seventeen years and was active in civic, charitable, religious and racial matters. Three years ago, July 24, 1921, at 8 o'clock in the morning, she was married to John W. Gatus, of this city, in the Episcopal Church or St. Phillip the Deacon, coming directly from the train to the church. Rev. John Albert Williams officially. By her genial and gracious personality she won a warm place in the hearts of the people of this community. She was treasurer of the Woman's Auxiliary of St. Philip's Church.
The funeral was held from the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, the Rev. John Albert Williams, pastor, Tuesday afternoon at 3o'clock, the body being taken therefrom to the Burlington station and leaving on the 4:30 train for interment in the family plot at Villa Ridge. The remains were accompanied by Mr. Gatus and Mrs. Lucile Harris of Chicago, youngest sister of the deceased.
Mrs. Gatus is survived by her husband and a step-son, Travis Gatus of Omaha; a mother, Mrs. Henry Owens of Villa Ridge, Ill., four brothers, four sisters and a large number of other relatives.

CUBAN GIRL WINS PRAISE OF FRENCH MUSICAL CRITICS
Roland Hayes Was Not Only Colored Singer to Achieve Triumphs In European Circles
GIRL'S VOICE IS MARVELOUS
Shady Skins of Sunny Havana Have Produced New Wonder Says Critic —American Woman Also Attracts Attention.
Paris, France, July 18.—High praise for Roland Hayes from the critics in the European press probably caused many Americans to figure the case of Hayes exceptional or singular.
Such is not wholly the case. Hayes' triumphs were the more noticeable because of his having come from America from where little was expected and then to have made a mark.
There are many other Negro stars performing in European houses, creating sensations in their kind, but not as loudly talked about nor as much advertised because the Continent has got used to them. One of these singers, especially popular now, is Gloria de la Cuesta (daughter of the Cuban deputy and lawyer.)
Jean Fenget, writing in L' Action Coloniale after hearing her sing declares that she "seems to have issued from the pages of some novel of Madame Gerad d'Houville, to have searched the world's music for master coogenial to her temperament and to have succeeded in uniting Prohoeff and Debusy under the shady skies of Havana."
Suggesting that she is different from other stars in Europe, Fungee writes: "When 'she wrings from the music of Borodiso its throbbing images, when she offers the adorable 'Rendo' of Weber, and their auditors ask in vain: 'Whom does she resemble?'
She began to practice at the age of seven. At fourteen she had already made her mark with brilliant examinations. The Cuban government made her the means of coming to Europe to perfect herself. From 1920 to 1922 she studied the old classics of the Continent at the Conservatory of Madrid.
Now her success, while still a young woman, leads. Fangeat to expect to hear from her again and again and to urge Negroes to "make the acquaintance of the first stars of this constellation who are revealing themselves about the tropics. As there is a Negro intellectual life, so there is a Negro artistic life which will soon people our scenes with new talents, talents to which the white race with its last breath possible could not lay claim."
Mrs. Lillian Evans Tibbs of Washington, D. C., is another American race woman who has attracted attention here. She is studying and expects to remain a year.
GETS PHIL BROWN'S POST
Washington, D. C., July 18.—Carl F. Phillips is reported to have been named commissioner of conciliation in the United States Department of Labor, succeeding the late Phil H. Brown.
TED HEAD OF TAL AT TUSKEGEE acting medical officer in charge of this hospital ends a bitter fight between the colored people of the United States and Alabama whites over the personnel.
This hospital—the finest of its kind in the world—was built at Tuskegee, Ala., exclusively for Negro soldiers. It was the understanding that it would have an all-colored personnel. But after its dedication, Colonel R. H. Stanley, a native Alabanian, was made the commanding officer and given a white staff.
Colonel Stanley immediately began an agitation to retain this position. He aroused the entire Tuskegee community. Protests were filed with the President against the removal of Colonel Stanley and the white employees. The legislature of the state of Alabama passed a resolution petitioning the President not to remove them. The Ku Klux Klan—hooded in sheets alleged to have been furnished them by Colonel Stanley—paraded through the government grounds and were banqueted in the hospital dining room.

‘THE RIGHT METHOD
WHLIAM PICKENS who is un-
questionably one of the most
scholarly, able and outstanding men of
America, irrespective of race, for
mentality and morality override the
accidents of pigmentation and de-
scent, is well qualified to give advice
on the “Race Problem”. In speaking
before the international conference of
Social Workers at Toronto recently
he very forcibly showed that the
Southern method has not solved the
race problem, but has DEVELOPED
it. Its method is that of segregation,
which makes for estrangement, mis-
understanding and bitterness. Mr.
Pickens is a Southerner and knows
whereof he speaks. The failure of
this method should prevent other sec-
tions trying the impossible. He very
truly says: “We must substitute for
this system community interest for
the Negro. We must cease the abor-
tive effort to encyst him; we cannot
successfully encyst him; we must as-
similate him. Blood assimilation is
not necessary—not an end to be pro-
posed at any rate. But there must
be assimilation in civil culture and in
civil processes; in industry, in eco-
nomics, in education, in politics.”
The North and West unfortunately
are becoming tainted and impregnated
with the idea that the Southern metn-
od is the wise and practical method.
‘This is a fatal mistake. It has not
worked in the South, but has proven
to be as Mr. Pickens cays, “THE
PROBLEM FACTORY AND WILL
CONTINUE TO BE UNTIL THE
END OF THE SYSTEM.” It certain-
ly will not work in the North where
the Negro because of a larger free-
dom and better educational advan-
tages and conditions has developed a
spirit and independence which is im-
possible under the repression to which
he has been subjected in the South.
‘The application of the Southern sys-
tem in the North means unquestion-
ably, sooner or later, serious trouble.
It is therefore to be hoped that the
broad-minded people of the North will
realize what the broad-minded people
‘of the South must eventually realize
and we believe are coming to realize
that the Southern method of dealing
with the race problem, has not, does
not, nor cannot solve it, and apply
the just and sensible method of help-
ful and sympathetic co-operation,
upon the principle of from each ac-
cording to his ability and to each ac-
cording to his needs. This is the right
method.
IT PAYS TO FIGHT
JNFORMATION that must prove
gratifying to all right-minded Amer-
fcans, and we believe them to be in
the vast majority, is that which re-
lates to mob-murder or lynching
which is the crying disgrace of our
country, The number of lynchings re-
ported for the first six months of
this year is five. This is an amazing
reduction from that of former years.
Of course, this is five too many in
any civilized country, but it points
‘hopefully to the fulfillment of the
dream of Negro newspapers of this
‘country which were the first, merely
“a voice erying in the wilderness” to
begin the agitation against lynching.
Among the outstanding services of the
Negro newspaper in the United States
has been its persistent agitation and
fight for forty years against lynching
and mob violence. Gradually its feeble
voice was heard and here and there
a powerful daily raised its voice
‘against this iniquity. Then came that
great organization, the National As-
sociation for the Advancement of the
Colored People, which has consistent-
ly, uncompromisingly and scientifical-
ly fought lynching for the past de-
cade by a tremendous campaign of
‘publicity and agitation for a federal
law. The conscience of the country
has been so aroused that there has
been a steady reduction of lynching in
the last few years, It must not be
forgotten, however, that the United
States and all lovers of America’s
good name owe a debt of gratitude to
the Negro press of the country and
to the N. A. A. C. P. for their work
in redeeming America from this men-
ace and curse. The work is not yet
consummated. There must be no ces-
sation in this fight until law and the
orderly process of the court shall be
enthroned and the lynching of any
human being becomes an impossibility
in the United States. The fact that
the reproach of lynching is being
gradually rolled away emphasizes the
fact that it pays to fight in a right-
eous cause,
HOW ABOUT THESE?
‘THERE is a very important truth
which needs emphasizing in re-
spect to the political situatfon. It is
this: Congressional, state, county and
municipal officers should interest the
ordinary voter, much more than that
of the Chief Executive of the Nation.
‘The President, of course, is important,
‘but our congressman and governor
and mayor and councilman and mem-
‘ber of the school board more closely
touches us than does the President.
Voters should consider the character,
attitude and record of these officials
who are frequently overlooked in the
heat and excitement of a presidential
campaign. What kind of a man is
the candidate for congress from yout
district who is asking for your vote?
What kind of a man would you have
as governor of your state? Don't
forget the importance of local can-
didates and local issues. Learn what
you can about men and measures and
‘then vote your convictions.
WHAT OTHER EDITORS SAY
ictiiad® Deiien
There s no mistake about the cause
of the reduction in lynchings in the
United States during the first six
‘months of this year. The reason is
ao It is the result of the agitation
for a federal law against it.
And, whereas, we are pleased to
note the decrease in lynchings, yet
we are in no wise to solace ourselves
with the delusion or false hope that
the days of lynching are a thing of
the past.
‘The spirit of intolerance is as preva-
Tent today as it was yesterday. In
fact, we think worse. There has only
been a shift in the scene of its opera-
tions. The spirit is still here. Just
lying dormant under the cover of
FEAR. Cease your agitation for

THE WHATNOT COLUMN
By Robert Paris Edwards,
(For the Associated Negro Press.)
Who Was Iben Khalden?
Of the early life of Iben Khalden,
noted Arab scientist and historian
ivery little is known; but the results
of his research work during the four-
teenth century, were given to the
world is such a clear consise mannet
and with such an authority, th he
has been named as one of the greatest
historians of his age. Khalden gave
to the world much about the great
kingdom of Melle; among which facts
are, that Melle had an area equal to
the United States and flourished from
750 A. D. to 1591, and for 900 years
her king ruled in regular sueces-
‘sion.
‘What Did Mr. George Peabody Do To-
ward Assisting Colored Y. M. C. A
Work?
Dr. Henry Brown, of Oberlin, sec-
retary of the International Commit-
‘tee to organize Y. M. C. Associations
for Colored Men did such excellent
‘work that it became necssary to sec-
ure a few colored men to assist him,
their chief labors being confined main.
ly to organize associations for colored
men and boys in schools and colleges.
In 1907 a modern building to serve
as a model for other buildings for
‘colored men, was presented to the
people of Columbus, Georgia, by Mr.
Geo. Foster Peabody, at a cost of
$30,000,
What Was the Result of the Passing
‘a this Dkditiva Glave Aci?
When President Fillmore signed the
Fugitive Slave Act on September 18,
1850, he started a Negro rfigration
that, continued up to the opening of
the Civil War, resulting in thousands
of people of color crossing over into
Canada, and causing many thousands
more to move from one state into an-
other seeking safety from their pur-
suers. The other enactments might
possibly have produced and it did
‘more to convert northern to abolition-

selves. f

INVENTED BY. GERMAN
Fascinating Effect Produced by New
Instrument, Say Musicians Whe
Have Heard it.
Bertin.—New fine points for jas
music will be made possible by the In-
vention by Grotian Steinweg of
Brunswick, Germany, of a quarter
tone plano which produces sounds de-
scribed as a cross between the gliding
airs of ukulele and a banjo and the
exotic intervals of a Chinese string
plano.
‘Two pianos, one of which is tuned
to standard pltch and the other of
which is tuned a quarter tone higher,
fare connected with a keyboard on
which red and brown keys are insert-
ed between the ordinary black and
white keys. The playing of this new
composite instrument is said to have
a fascinating effect, according to per-
gions who have heard concerts given
by the inventor.
Alois Haba, composer of quarter.
tone music, who has been at work
on scores of this kind for some time,
sees a far-reaching future in quarter-
tone music and regards Herr Stein-
‘weg’s invention as epoch-making.
‘Not only will the ear have to be
come accustomed to differentiating
between intervals of only a quarter of
tone, but the whole technique of
plano playing will be changed. Wom-
en with small hands will be eliminated
as pianists since the new octave will
require a greater hand span.
‘The entire mechanism of playing
will also become greatly complicated
since there will be one-third more
keys.
‘Musical critics who have heard Herr
Steinweg’s instrument have reserved
Judgment on ft. ‘They appear to fear
being classed as old-timers if they do
not fall in with the modern tendeney
toward the unusual, yet at the same
time they admit thelr ears are not yet
educated up to the new invention.
Chinese Girls Balk at
Ancient Marriage Code
Shanghal—All girls of China have
absorbed the American notion that
love ts the real basis for marriage. The
notion {s sg common in America now
that it Is taken for granted, but Chi-
nese gitis defy all the traditions of
8,000 years when they voice such Sen-
timents.
But a movement has started among
all of the girl students in Chinese gov-
ferment universities which has this
notion as its basis, Miss Mo Yimin,
an advanced young woman at the gov-
ernment university in Peking, frat sug-
gested the movement. And the readi-
ness of Chinese girls to accept it was
Mlustrated by the rapidity with which
the movement spread to the schools of
other cities, including Shanghai,

VETERAN LIVES AT
GRANT’S FIRST CAMP
Sole Survivor of General’s
Original Command.
Springdeld, M.—Eight miles west of
Springfield, on the public highway to
Jacksonville, Israel F. Pearce, patrt-
arch, veteran of Grant's army and
participant in Sherman's march to the
‘sea, lives in solitude on the land where
General Grant pitched camp on bis
frst day’s march Into the Civil war.
Pearce, the ovly man now living
ee of the entire regiment which went
into encampment on this spot of
ground the night of July 3, 1861, maln-
tains % guard over the old camp ground
and over “General Grant's tree,” a
large, pecullarly shaped black walnut
tree ‘under which Grant wrote his
orders
Raises His Flag Daily.
Every morning at sunrise the tat-
tered old flag belonging to Pearce Is
raised from a 90-foot flagpole near his
house, and every evening at sundown
the fing 1s lowered.
Pearce acts ax a guardian for this
historic spot and is glad to relate Its
history to passing tourists, although
the historical connection is known to
few people, and no marks, save the
‘veteran's flag, are to be seen on the
nnd.
“General Grant's tree,” some three
feet in diameter, stands near the
house. Here, Pearce tells tourists, he
‘saw Grant, sitting astride a peculiar
‘mb growth, near the ground, writ
ing out the first day's orders, Grant's
tent was pitehed a few feet from the
tree, and he once addressed the regi-
ment from a spot near where the tall
flagpole now stands.
“The first day's march of the regt-
ment, the Twenty-first Illinois infan-
try, was started from Camp Yates, in
this city, about 11 a. m, and the first
camp site was reached about 5 p.m,"
Pearce relates,
“The regiment was halted in col-
‘umns of companies in the woods, arms
were stacked and when wagon trains
eame into camp each company un-
Jonded its wagon, arranged the tents
by opening and spreading them on the
| ground, and at one sound of the drum
the tents were raised; at two sounds
‘ropes were stretched, and at the third
‘sound, the stakes were driven and the
regtinent was under canvas in its first
tented field
Many Stragglers in March.
erhe first day's march was attended
with hardships, and there were strag-
glers and absentecs. The punishment
given was extra guard duty both for
officers and men. The men made camp
fires and cooked thelr first meal tn
camp at this time.
“During the first evening, officers
call was sounded and Grant, then
Colonel Grant, talked to the men, em-
Phasizing the absolute necessity of
‘enforcing respect for the Inhabitants
‘of the country through which the regt-
ment was passing, The captains of
the companten were made personaly
responsible for the acts of the men.”
| ,Peatee was quartered both at Fort
‘Henry and Fort Donelson, and on July
“4, 1868, marched Into Vicksburg with
Grant and his army; Just two years
after the regiment left its first camp
near the walnut tree. From Vicks:
burg, Pearce went with Sherman on
his march to the sea, through the
‘Carolinas and on to Washington. He
‘participated in the grand review up
Pennsylvania avenue at the close of
‘the war.

Bottle Papers Aid in
Philadelphia - Not all bottles thrown into the sea are dead ones, according to Curence Shomber, nautical expert in the United States hydrographic office at the customhouse.
Many an empty bottle, he admits, has been heaved overboard by skipper, passenger and crew alike, to gurgle its way to a salty grave.
But many others, having been thoroughly squeezed of their former contents, have had the prescribed form of bottle paper, furnished to mariners by the hydrographic office of the navy bureau, securely placed in them, been tightly corked and sealed and heaved into the deep.
These forms contain spaces to be filled in by the person throwing the bottle overboard, which show their name, vessel, date, latitude and longitude, and the date and locality where the bottle was picked up.
Instructions on the form are in eight languages and direct the finder to send the "bottle paper" to any United States consul or to the hydrographic office, Navy department, Washington.
Carried and tossed by wind, wave and current, these "bottle papers" drift thousands of miles and are not found sometimes for years. They are thrown into the water to aid scientists in the study of ocean currents. One bottle thrown over off the Florida coast was washed upon a beach in Scotland.
Referring to this incident, Mr. Shomber said:
"That was just a case of a bottle trying to get home. Often these bottles show the brand they use on board the ships."

A hen is not supposed to have
Much common sense or tact,
Yet every time she lays an egg
She cackles forth the fact.
A rooster hasn't got a lot
Of intellect to show,
But none the less most roosters have
Enough good sense to crow.
The mule, the most despised of beasts,
Has a persistent way
Of letting folks know he's around
By his insistent bray.
The busy little bees they buzz,
Bulls bellow and cows moo,
The watch dogs bark, the ganders quack,
The doves and pigeons coo.
The peacock spreads his tail and squacks,
Pigs squeal and robins sing
And even serpents know enough
To hiss before they sting.
But man, the greatest masterpiece
That nature could devise,
Will often stop and hesitate
Before he'll advertise.
Merchants who are wise
And want our people's trade
Use THE MONITOR to advertise
And thus their fortune's made.

SUMMER COLORS NOW
ARE WORN BY OCEANS
Preference for Blue With
Foamy White Ruffles.
Washington, D. C—“The much-tray-
eled Atlantic Is putting on its usual
color show for the summer tourist. It
iw exhibiting 4 decided preference for
blue, with soft foamy white ruffes.
Sometimes it is wearing sage greens,
deep indigo, or royal purple.
“Globe trotters will find the Mediter
ranean and the Caribbean trieked out
in sapphire blue, the Red sea in vary-
Ing shades of henna, the Yellow sea
fm belge and tan, the Antarctic in
olive green and tie shallows of the
Gulf of Moxico in a soft turquoise,”
‘According to a bulletin issued from the
Washington (D. C.) headquarters of
the National Geographic society.
“In order to put on such a pleasing
display of shade and hue, the seas
have summoned to their aid many and
varied hosts, notable among which
are warmth and cold, sunlight and
shadow, sand, silt, and possible vot
canfe dust, sult, lime, and various and
sundry kinds of diatoms and algae.
“absolutely pure water is a clear
biue color becuuse the blue rays of
sunlight are not absorbed by the wa-
ter as the red rays are, Thus the
open ocean seems Intensely blue.
Distilled water has a greenish cast
due to the impurities which still re
main after the distillation. ‘This
makes it clear why the shallow wa:
ter in bays and estuaries is green or
yellowish green. One explanation of
the olivegreen of the ocean In the
vieinity of the South pole is that R
contains enormous quantities of dt
atoms in suspension.
When a Gray Gown Is Worn.
“Sometimes the ocean wears a gray
gown, but that usually happens when
the clouds shut out the sunlight and
then in respect for the grim aspect of
the frowning skies It subdues the tones
of its garment.
“Two factors contribute largely to
the blueness of the Mediterranean;
there are few large rivers, which or.
dinarily bring enormous quantities of
Impurities, flowing into It, and there
Is a conscant stream of salty water
pouring into it from the Atlantic
ocean through the Strait of Gibraltar
It Is said by some oceanographers that
the blue of sea water bears a direct
ratio to its saltiness, As an example
of this the band of tropical waters ex-
tending about thirty degrees on exch
side of the equator, where there {s
tremendous evaporation under a blaz
Ing sun, Is cited. It is true that these
waters are very salty and an sxquisite
azure in color, On the other hand.
the Arctic and Antarctic waters.
which are cold and less salty,,are vivid
green.
“The Yellow sea derives its golden
tints from the sediment brought to it
by the Yellow river and several other
streams rising near the desert areas
in western China. Scientists also be
eve that the billions of minute living
organisms found in its waters helped
give it its name.
A Yellow River in the Atlantic,
“In January, 1909, a peculiar phe
nomenon was observed in the Atlantlc
ocean. Running parallel with th
warm clear blue waters of the Gul
stream from Cupe Florida to Cape
Hatteras, there was a yellow rive
three miles wide. It lasted for a few
weeks und then faded away into the
surrounding ocean. Some cataclysn
on the face of the deep, probably o
voleanie origin, had evidently set thi
yellow stream in motion.
“The dull reddish tint of the Re
sea is imparted to It by millions o
microscopic algue. A host of the min
ute Dinoftagellata sometimes will red
den the ocean for miles.
“The lovely blue of the waters sur
rounding the coral Islands of the Sout!
seas, which have long been famous i
song and story, is sald to be due t
the calcium carbonate which Is hel
in solution.
“The degree of penetration of High

somber and impressive because its wa
ters seem almost black. It wind:

er than that of the river into whict
It flows.
“In 1901, the sea off the Californi

SWEDEN CARES FOR
WAYWARD CHILDREN
New Law Requires State Be
| Given Their Custody.
Stockholm.—Compulsory removal of
wayward or depraved children from
thelr homes into public custody, and
subsequent supervision up to the age
of eighteen, Is provided for In a new
law for the care of children which has
just been passed by the riksdag.
‘The Jaw further provides for public
care of children who are found to be
exposed to undesirable Influence and
In danger of becoming depraved.
Children removed from their homes
by government Inspectors and matrons
in compliance with this law are placed
In government institutions, or in good
private homes in the country, where
they receive expert training and can
grow up in healthful surroundings.
Social service of a similar sort has
been carried on in the cities of Swed-
en, especially Stockholm, for many
years by municipal and state boards,
who place the children in desirable
homes far out In the country, and pay
an annual compensution to these
homes. In many cases a strong bond
of affection grows up between these
waifs of the slums and their foster
parents, which culminates in legal
adoption.
Under the new law every city and
parish will have a spectal board for
the care of children, Including local
pastors and teachers as permanent
members, while inspectors will travel
all over the country for the purpose
of observing and controlling Individ-
ual development. Thousands of coun-
try homes recelye the poor children
of the city as guests during the sum-
mer and send them back to thelr
homes with cheeks round and rosy.
Natlon-wide and energetic philan-
throple work also Is carried on by the
Swedish society "Save the Children,”
the campaign culininating in an an-
nual Children’s day, when large
amounts are raised to provide sum-
mer vacations In children's colonies
by the seaside, and in some cases om
islands specially reserved.

With 1,447 state guests occupying these
quarters, said to be the most choice of
fall the country's prisons, room is left
for but a few more. It is the largest
roster the penitentiary has had in
eight years.
‘The crowded condition will not af-
fect the persons now under Mr. Lawes’
supervision, but It will be hard on the
offenders who are sentenced to Sing
