State F a Copy a Copy ISC Historical Society President POLICEMAN AND NOT KLUXES WHO SHOT UP SCOUT'S CAMP Harry Trout Persudes Crowd to Disguise Themselves as Members of Hooded Order and Attack the Camp KLAN THREATENS LAW SUIT Officer Is Stripped of Badge and Discharged In Disgrace From the Philadelphia Police Force (By the Associated Negro Press) Darby, Pa., July 25—Chief of Police William Y, Drewes, started a thorough investigation into the routing of 105 Boy Scouts from their slumber Monday night by a bunch of hooded men and boys in which many shots were fired. The younger boys who had fled in disorder in their night clothes were rounded up by their parents and the police of West Philadelphia which is a short distance from Darby. The investigation came to an end for the time being when Harry Trout a member of the police force of Darby, confessed to the chief in the roll room of the Darby police station one morning last week. The policemen were lined up when Trout was confronted with evidence the chief had obtained which cast suspicion strongly upon him. He hung his head and said nothing. "Well, Trout," shouted the chief, "What have you to say for yourself?" Trout admitted he had been implicated. The angry chief walked up to Trout, ripped off the badge from his coat and took his keys and pistol. "Get out," shouted the chief, "The Darby police force is no place for a man like you. You are discharged with disgrace." Trout made a complete confession before he left the station house. "I conceived the idea of the cross burning," he said, "and carried it out myself, with the assistance of several friends. Some of my friends cut the holes in the pillow cases to make hoods. I am not a member of the Ku Klux Klan, and neither are they. We thought we would make it appear like a Klan affair. The reason we did it was to get back at the colored boys for chasing several white boys away from the swimming hole near their camp. We didn't think that was right. "I fired some of the shots to awaken the boys who were sleeping in the hollow. Then we put on the pillow cases for hoods and got into the two trucks and went up and burned the cross. The camp was on my beat and we wanted to give those kids a real scare. That was all to it." And as soon as the cross had been fired, Trout jumped into a truck and sped to a restaurant at 69th street to establish an alibi. He broke down and pleaded for mercy outside of the police station. "I don't know what I'll do. I have a wife and seven children. I have disgraced myself and family." He was refused a chance to make good. As stated by his wife, Trout told her of his plan. She pleaded in vain to him. Then he threatened to leave her and the children if she didn't consent. After he had committed the deed his wife gave Chief Drewes the evidence that caused her husband's arrest. The Kleagle of Deleware county in which the incident occurred, threatens legal action against Trout for impersonating the Klan. Trout told the chief that other members of the force had known about the plans and were attempting to "frame him" in shifting all the blame on him. Some of the officers had known of it, but had refused to help him and warned him. Chief Drewes was praised highly by the race people of this borough and he declared that the whole police force would be discharged if he found any of them klansman or using their methods in carrying out their plans on innocent men, women and children no matter to what race they belong. Pittsburgh, July 25.—With fraternal societies here making magnificent preparations to entertain 50,000 delegates at the convention during August and September, the health department has discovered a number of cases of smallpox. Wholesale vaccinations have been urged. THE MONITOR CHILDREN BARRED FROM HIGH SCHOOL ON RACIAL GROUNDS Board of Education Declares There Is Trace of Negro Blood In Veins of Rich Farmer's Family Thought White Upper Mariboro, Md., July 25—The county board of education, J. Chew Sheriff, Mrs. N. E. Shegogue and Claude G. McKee, has just handed down a decision denying admission to the Baden Agricultural high school of the children of Thomas W. Perrie, a prosperous farmer and tobacco grower of Nottingham district, Prince Georges county. Several months ago two of Mr. Perries' children entered the Baden school and a few days later a number of patrons of the institution filed a protest with the principal, Prof. W. R. C. Connick, alleging that the children were not of the Caucasian race—that there was a trace of Negro blood in their veins. Prof. Connick denied the children admission and took the matter to the county school board and the latter sustained his action. The father of the children presented a petition-claiming he and his wife are white. One of the members of the school board stated recently that the board was rather uncertain as to whether the Perrie children were white, but expressed the opinion that, in view of the sentiment against them, their admission would mean closing the school. It was also pretty well settled that the case would be taken to the state board of education, and if this body failed to admit the children, a writ of mendamus would be sued out, directing the school board of the county to pass an order admitting them. All Look White Pierre is registered as white. Birth registration of his children shows they are white also. The mother and the entire family look as white in color as any Prince Georges county family. They had been so regarded until recently when someone spread the rumor that somewhere in past generations is a strain of Negro blood. NORMAL SCHOOL GIVES PAGEANT Historical and Racial Allegory Presented at Grounds of Branch Normal. Pine Bluff, Ark., July 25.—"By Their Fruits," a historical and racial pageant, written and directed by May H. Williams, director of physical education at Branch Normal, was presented on the campus of the school Wednesday evening, July 10. Over 100 people, either citizens of Pine Bluff or students at the Normal summer school, took part in the performance, which was in three episodes. The director had been at work on the production for six weeks and the resulting performance last night was particularly good. Special features of the pageant were the group dances and the elaborate costumes. Approximately 600 local citizens, both white and colored, witnessed the spectacle. The plot of the pageant rests on the awards of Justice. Throughout three episodes the nations of the world, represented by dance groups, made offerings before the shrine of Justice and dropped their token into the right side of the balances. However, until the token from the stranger—the Ethiopian—was received, the scales failed to balance. Dances were give nby the following groups—English, French, Aslatic, German, Romance, American and Hawaiian. Special features were a folk dance, minuet, Japanese dance, pantone of love and of arrogance, Hawaiian dance and flag drill. The campus of the college was marked off for the event. The shrine of Justice stood at the rear of the open air theatre and the performance was rendered before the shrine. The pageant comes as the climax to the summer school activities. According to authorities the past sessions have been the most successful ever enjoyed by the institution. Since Prof. Malone took over the school several years ago, the normal has made steadfast progress along educational lines.-Pine Bluff Commercial Gazette. A delightful dinner was given by Mrs. E. D. Fletcher Wednesday in honor of Mrs. W. Morrison of Denver, Colo. Covers were laid for ten. Music was furnished by Prof. W. M. Price's orchestra. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 25, 1924 The Negro Press and the Bunksters The Negro Press and the Bunksters FRANCE HONORS HER HEROIC DEAD FROM SUNNY AFRICA Rheims, France, July 25—Inaugurating a monument recently to the Negro troes in the Great War, Gen. Archinard praised their courage and the exalted part they took in the final victory. He replied to the German campaign against the colored troops, saying: "Our black sharpshooters conducted themselves like good Frenchmen, showing themselves worthy of fighting by our side. "They were terrible to the Germans," he continued, "because they regarded the Germans as savages fighting with disloyal arms and devastating everything from love of evil. Our sharpshooters fought well for France, because she treats them with humanity and justice, on the same footing as her other citizens. Edouard Daldater, minister of the colonies, said that 800,000 black troops fought for France, and 30,000 were killed on the battle field. Journalism rests upon four well defined factors, or legs, if you will accept a figure for illustration purposes. Roughly divided, the elementary features of a legitimate publication may be termed: reader, interest, circulation, advertising and profit. This is applicable to every known type of publication, save such as are admittedly propaganda sheets and in those the latter two phases are disregarded, for profits are acquired in some indirect manner that has no relation to clean journalism. Into such classification comes the personal spite papers, the wildcat investment comeon invitations and the stampede-sale sheets. All these are beyond the pale of true journalism. A real publication must first serve its reading public with news value that is in keeping with the price charged to every buyer of the paper, or magazine. That public buys NEWS and in the purchase of its papers is as entitled to its money's worth as is the case when buying any other commodity. Interesting one's readers is therefore the full purpose of every editor, the staff of reporters, correspondents, special writers, columnists and artists who make up any publication. Circulation grows from that very interest. One reader tells another, the casual reader become the regular one. BATTLING SIKI WEDS A MEMPHIS WOMAN New York, July 24.—Battling Siki, Senagaleese pugilist, and Lillian Werner, white, of Memphis, Tenn., were married in the municipal building. The boxer's real name, Louis Fall, was signed to the marriage license. He gave his age as 23 years and the bride 30. She described herself as an artist. Siki also described himself as an "artist". He claimed that this was his first matrimonial venture. It has been reported that Siki married a Dutch girl by whom he had a son. When "Battling Siki" was in Omaha, he gave an interview to The Monitor. At that time he stated that he had a wife and boy in Paris—Did he lie then or is he lying now? FISK FIRST TO GET MILLION DOLLAR ENDOWMENT FUND Nashville, Tenn., July 25—Completion of the first million dollar endowment fund ever to be established at a college for Negroes was announced recently by Dr. Fayette Avery McKenzie, president of Fisk university. This fund has been made possible by matching a conditional offer of $500,000 from the General Educational Board of New York. Among those contributing are the Caragege Corporation of New York, which gave $250,000; the John F. Slater Fund of Charlottesville, Va., and the J. C. Penney Foundation of New York. Anticipating the successful completion of the $1,000,000 endowment fund, the citizens of Neshville organized last spring to raise a supplementary fund of $50,000 for Fisk. This is the first time that any such sum has been contributed by any Southern city for any type of Negro education. The income of the endowment fund is to be applied exclusively to teachers' salaries. Advertise in The Monitor! MECHANICS BANK WILL BE REOPENED Richmond, Va., July 25.—The granting by the state corporation commission of a charter to the Virginia Mechanics Bank is believed to mark the end of the repeated efforts to reopen the defunct Mechanics Savings Bank of this city. The Virginia Mechanics Bank will have a minimum capital of $25,000, according to the charter which names the following as incorporators: R. C. Mitchell, Henry Mallory, Sr., Albert A. Tennant, W. E. Brown, J. O. Wawson, A. G. Thompson and C. A. Cobb. The new institution will take over all of the assets of the Mechanics Savings Bank and it is planned to have it operating in the building formerly occupied by the latter institution at Third and Clay streets within a short time. An audit of the assets of the Mechanics Savings Bank is now being made preliminary to its being taken over by Virginia Mechanics Bank. Newsstand sales and subscriptions increase, and the foundation for the publication is laid. Then comes the first glimmering of reward. Advertising must follow if the paper has been intelligently developed, for no journal can possibly exist upon the income that is derived from the price it sells for less the cost of maintaining the machinery of circulation. Not less than twenty-five per cent of the printed space of any paper must be sold to advertisers if the paper is to live. Not more than 50% may be so converted into money earning purposes if the readers equity is to be preserved. Advertising in addition to such a maximum proportion must at once be counterbalanced by increase in the ratio of news space, which of course, means an enlarged paper. Maintaining his relation, is what makes or breaks a publisher. One cent per line per thousand of circulation is regarded as a basically fair rate for advertising space. Circulation in specific circles may give greater or less value to a journal, according to the viewpoint of the advertiser. One of the greatest robberies per- petrated upon readers of Negro journals HUSBAND SHOOTS MAN WALKING WITH HIS WIFE Thomas Coulter Fatally Wounds Roy McCorley Returning From Party With the Former's Wife. Thomas J. Coulter, 1429 North Twenty-second street, is in jail, charged with the murder of Roy McCorley, proprietor of the Mecca cafe at 2005 Cuming street, who died in St. Joseph's hospital Sunday, as the result of gunshot wounds inflicted by Coulter early Saturday morning. Mrs. Blanche Coulter, wife of Coulter, in company with McCorley and others, were returning from a party at the residence of Othello Rountree on No. Nineteenth street, early Saturday morning. When they reached Twentieth and Nicholas street, a man opened fire on McCorley and shot him in the back. Coulter was arrested on suspicion and confessed to the shooting. A coroner's inquest recommended the holding of Coulter for the crime and a charge of murder has been filed against him. McCorley, who has resided here since 1916 is survived by his widow, a sister and a mother, who resides in Omaha and two brothers in Texas. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from Cleves Temple C. M. E. church, Rev. Jas. Blaine officiating. HEAD OF ELKS VISITS OMAHA J. Finley Wilson, Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, paid the Omaha Elks a brief but fruitful official visit last Wednesday night, leaving Thursday for the east. Under his able administration the Improved Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks had phenomenal but substantial growth. Iroquois Lodge No. 92, Omaha, under the administration of Exalted Ruler Count Wilkinson, has shared in this growth. Under a special dispensation a special drive is on to increase the membership of the local lodge to 500. TAMMANY COHORTS WANTED AL SMIH; STAND BY DAVIS New York, July 25.—Colored members of Tammany Hall were disappointed because Governor Al Smith was not nominated. Known as an enemy of the Ku Klux Klan, a Catholic ad politician who believes in the same right of the Negro to hold office as any other citizen, Al Smith was their favorite. Ferd. Q. Morton, member of the New York Civil Service Commission and leader of the New York democrats, declared he will "support Mr. Davis in New York and will go on the stump for him if he finds Mr. Davis is absolutely free from the taint of the Ku Klux Klan." Practically the same stand is taken by Cornelius W. McDonald, special assistant district attorney; Dr. Paul W. Collins, only race delegate to the convention, and Dr. Rogers W. Griffin, chairman of the executive committee of the United Colored Democracy. is found in the amount of their personal likes and dislikes, or to eniously soliciting open disputes with other publicists. This sort of copy has no interest for the average reader, and a publisher should charge any editor who so uses his columns the advertising rate of the paper for thus wasting both the publisher's space and the reader's time, for the editor is certainly the only one gaining anything from the practice—and his gain is the questionable one of having had his say, and exhibited his ego to public gaze. The survey of virtually all of the Negro publications of the country disclosed that in one week one hundred and twelve papers contained nearly five hundred inches of such emotional outbursts. At prices averaging from one dollar per inch up to $5.60, the rate of the biggest of our papers, more than fifteen hundred dollars of space, plus the cost of setting and printing the stuff, and whatever value the man's time may have had who wrote it, was lost to Negro journalism. Lost to profit, the last of the legs upon which the whole business stands. For if there be no profits, there is no incentive to remain in the business. Certainly, the fellows who originate these emotional outbursts, have no business sagacity else they would be publishers in their own right. "BIRTH OF A NATION" FILM BARRED IN NEWTON, MASS. New York, July 25.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth avenue, New York City, has been informed of the barring of the "Birth of a Nation" in the town of West Newton, Mass. Action was taken by the Douglas Civic League, J. Holman Pryor, chairman of the executive committee, writing a letter of protest to Mayor Edwin O. Childs as soon as the film was announced for showing. Mayor Childs then wrote the following letter to the local motion picture theatre: "An important conference of colored citizens of Newton was held last night in this city. The membership of the Myrtle Baptist church, Mount Zion Baptist church and other organizations are unanimous in their protest against the production of ["The Birth of a Nation." The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has already blacklisted that film. "As long as our colored citizens feel as they do, it seems to me most unwise to stir up ill feeling at this time. I understand that the film was shown in Wellesley where there are no colored people, but that in Framingham it was stopped. "There are forces at work in this country and in this city trying to emphasize racial and sectarian differences an desperate brethren who ought to dwell together in unity. "I, therefore, request that the feelings of our colored citizens who are good citizens and who are striving for the best interests of our city and for the colored race be respected, and that 'The Birth of a Nation' be not exhibited." Mr. Pryor thereupon wrote a letter of appreciation to Mayor Childs in behalf of the colored citizens of Newton. Mr. John W. Gatus returned Sunday morning from Villa Ridge, Ill., where he took the body of his wife for burial. MURD an Club Bol DEMOCRATS WILL WAGE CAMPAIGN FOR COLORED VOTE Liberalism and the Ku Klux Klan Will Be Stressed In Speeches of Democratic Spell- binders G. O. P. TO BE ARRAIGNED Washington, D. C., July 25—The general disposition at the headquarters of the democratic party is to wage an intensive campaign all along the line and appeal to every element of the electorate. It is noted that there has been a strong tendency among colored voters toward the democratic party, especially in the last congressional campaign and in recent municipal elections, and a strong appeal will be directed to them in the national campaign this year. John W. Davis, the democratic nominee for President of the United States, will stress the question of liberalism in his speaking campaign, and that is expected to influence the colored voter toward the democratic party. The republican party will be bitterly arraigned on the klan question. The democrat plans to emphasize the anti-klan plank in their platform and point to the side stepping of that issue in the republican platform. Liberalism, carrying with it necessarily a certain amount of independence—a breaking away from reactionary interests, old customs and methods—is believed by democratic leaders here to offer inducements to the colored voter for the reason that the republican party has too long regarded him as a political chattel and only thru liberal politics and a measure of independence can the colored voter be freed from this political servitude and become a real influence in politics and the affairs of government. EIGHTH CONVENTION OF WALKER AGENTS TO MEET IN NEW YORK CITY Indianapolis, Ind., July 25.—The 8th annual national convention of Madam C. J. Walker agents will meet August 13th to 27th, inclusive, in the magnificent Abysinian Baptist church, New York City. Advance arrangements indicate that this will be the most important meeting in the history of this, the world's largest organized group of Negro business women. And aside from the usual routine of business, new legislation governing the conduct of their establishments and the usual advanced instruction in beauty culture the agents will make a pilgrimage to Madam Walker's grave at beautiful Woodlawn cemetery and will select a costly mausoleum to be later erected and dedicated to her memory. The officials of the company will be present, a brilliant public program will be rendered; the annual award of $1,650.00 in prize money will be made by the company to its agents and the winners in their grand trip to the Holy Land contest will be named and their prize exhibits exhibited. For a day the delegates and friends will be the guests of Madam A'Leria Walker at Villa Lewaro, her mansion at Irvington-on-Hudson. To interspere the business sessions, New York has planned a full program of entertainment for the visitors, including a moonlight boat ride up the picturesque Hudson river, a series of programs, parties, sight see trips, shopping tours and the like, such as New Yorkers alone can plan. The convention will close on Sunday August 17th with memorial services for the late Madam C. J. Walker, conducted by one of the race's renowned divines. A gala time is planned and agents from as far away as Jamaica, West Indies, will attend. Approximating the attendance of domestic and foreign delegates, Mrs. Violet D. Reynolds of this city, secretary of the convention, said, "Considering New York's wonderful sights, its advantages as a vacation city, and that our agents have enjoyed a very good business year, we expect no less than several hundred delegates at the convention." Advance announcements state that headquarters for the convention have been established at the Walker Beauty Salon, 110 W. 136th St., where all inquiries should be sent. INSTRUCTOR AT HARVARD Cambridge, Mass., July 25.—Percival Julian, aged 20, candidate for his Ph. D. next June, has been named an instructor in chemistry in the Harvard university summer school. GROWING THANK YOU 172 Vol. X—No. 4 DER olts Ticket PROMINENT RACE LEADER DESERTS REPUBLICAN CAMP Edward Henry, President of the Negro Citizens' Republican Club of Philadelphia Comes Out for Davis .... CANDIDATE'S RECORD CLEAN West Virginian Won Gratitude of Race by Fight to Keep Jim Crow Laws Off Statute Books of State. Philadelphia, July 25.—(Special)—"I am for John W. Davis for President of the United States because he fought to keep Jim Crow' laws and grandfather claims from being put on the statute books of West Virginia." This statement was made last week by Edward W. Henry, president of the Negro Citizens' Republican club of Philadelphia, attorney at law and for more than seven years practicing in Clarksburg, W. Va. Mr. Henry is the first of the big race republicans to desert Coolidge. "John W. Davis is a man of destiny and bound to win," he continued. "He has been my friend for years. The colored voters helped elect him to the West Virginian legislature, and then sent him to congress from the Clarksburg district that had been normally republican. We never had cause to regret our action. Will Take Stump "As congressman, Mr. Davis said: I love the Constitution of my country, and I stand for it. I will never consent to any citizens being deprived of their constitutional rights as long as I have a voice to oppose it. And today colored people live in peace in the home state of John W. Davis.' If he still stands, as I know he does, where he stood in the old times, I am going to take the stump for him all over the land." The stand taken by Attorney Henry, long active republican, will probably cause him to resign from the Citizens' Republican club, the Lincoln League and the steering committee of the Conference of Colored Republican Voters, of which he is secretary. Major Wright Speaks Major R. R. Wright, president of the Citizens' and Southern Banking Company, one of the largest Negro banks in the United States, recalled that, as ambassador to England, Mr. Davis had been exceedingly kind to him when he was abroad on government service in 1917. The ambassador enabled him to hear Lloyd George speak by giving him his last ticket. He also assisted Major Wright to a proper introduction to Marshal Foch, Premier Clemenceau, President Poincare and other notables. 24,843 NEGRO PUFILS IN PHILADELPHIA SCHOOLS Philadelphia, July 25.—Colored pupils are increasing more rapidly than white in local schools due to migration. Report of the superintendent of public schools made last week shows there has been an increase of 91 per cent in Negro children of school age in Philadelphia in the past ten years. They have grown in numbers from 12,945 in 1915 to 24,843 in 1924. The period of 1922 to 1924 has seen acceleration of the rate of increase of Negro children, their numbers having increased locally 29 per cent in the last two years—or 5,649. Some school authorities say that the problem of educating the Negro children who have come to the north is complicated by the fact that many of them have migrated from regions where provision for education of Negro children is inadequate, so that many of these children are much less advanced in school than they would have been if they had grown up in the north. However, they add, the task of educating these Negro children whose past educational opportunities have been scanty is less perplexing than that of educating children of foreign-born parategale, because the Negro children know the language and understand American ways ad customs. Marshall, Texas, July 25. Four white men were arrested here last Thursday on the charge of tying Isalah Saunders, 26, to a tree and flogging him to death with straps for two hours. A group of defenseless colored men were forced to witness the spectacle.

THIS was the inscription on a large and beautiful floral wreath which was among the many mute, yet eloquent, expressions of sympathy and affection sent to the family of the late Rufus W. Johnson, who passed away at his home last Thursday at the ripe age of eighty-one years, after a brief illness. He had lived in the same neighborhood with his wife, who survives him, for thirty-six years. His was the only family of color in the neighborhood. None was more highly respected. The Johnsons had moved into that section of the city and purchased their modest home there when it was sparsely settled. Gradually the neighborhood filled up. The newcomers soon learned that the Johnsons were fine people and so genuine friendship sprang up between them. When Rufus Johnson passed away none mourned his loss more sincerely than these same neighbors who shed genuine tears of sorrow, sent floral expressions of their friendship and sympathy and attended his funeral. In their neighborly intercourse there was naught of patronizing on either side. They lived normally as friends and neighbors. This is as it should be. In the face of constantly growing opposition to respectable families of color locating in any but certain designated neighborhoods it is instructive to call attention to incidents of this kind as illustrative of the fact that neither race nor religion forbids the possibility of neighborliness. NO LEAD PIPE CINCH IT IS BECOMING increasingly apparent that the republican party has no longer a mortgage upon the colored voter. This will, of course, innure to his advantage. Whatever else may be said of the Negro it cannot be truthfully said that he is ungrateful. He is deeply grateful for any service rendered him, for any A PRAYER FOR DELI PREJ By Morne (For the Associa GOD, who hast made n who dost love all whom because of difference separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy f Thy love.

His gratitude is profound. His gratitude to the republican party, when it was the party of Lincoln and Sumner, for what it did for him, has kept him loyal to it during the years that have passed. He desires to give it his allegiance now, but in the light of recent years he has been given very little to encourage him in his loyalty, devotion and allegiance. If the republican leaders have ordinary common horse sense they will change their attitude and show that they really want the support of the colored voter. Republicans haven't a lead pipe cinch upon the colored vote and they should realize that fact. NORMAL MEN ARE SOCIABLE THERE are some people, fortunately their unnumber is few, who make the serious mistake of believing that they gain much by living entirely to themselves. They isolate themselves from the community life. They keep themselves as largely as they can aloof from society. They claim to find entire happiness in the bosom of their own family. Those who do this lose much of the genuine joy of living and are failing in their duty to themselves, to their family and to their fellow men. God has implanted the social instinct within man's nature and he who tries to ignore it shows an abnormal condition. If one has been given special talent or advantages above his fellows then he owes it to use these gifts for the good of others. No man or woman can live a selfish life without serious spiritual and moral leakage. The normal man wants friends and shows himself friendly. He desires to share in the activities social, civil, religious and fraternal of his community. Hermits like misers are abnormal. Try as men may to deny it, the truth remains that "no man liveth unto himself and no man dieth unto himself." The normal man being loves to mingle with men. VERANCE FROM RACE UDICE by Williams tated Negro Press) man in Thine own likeness and Thou hast made, suffer us not, THE WHATNOT COLUMN (By Robert P. Edwards for The Associated Negro Press) What was the greatest of all Sudan states? The kingdom of Songhay, which at one time had an area equal to that of the United States, was the greatest of all the Sudan states. For nearly nine centuries (750 A. D. to 1591) the kings of this great state reigned in regular succession. The existence of Songhay concludes almost exactly with the life of Rome from its foundation as a republic to its downfall as an empire. What assistance did Mr. John D. Rockefeller give the colored Y. M. C. A.? The second city to erect a modern building for colored Y M. C. A. work was Washington, toward which John D. Rockefeller donated $25,000 and in order to stir the race to activity, stipulated that a similar amount must be raised by the efforts of colored people. So impressed were the colored people with this generous idea that they raised nearly $100,000 of which colored men paid $27,000. Who has produced the largest watermelon? John D. Carter of Garza, Denton county, Texas, succeeded, by a variety of crosses, in producing a watermelon weighing 122 pounds in 1923. Mr. Carter forced to match wits with the boll-weevil, studied the Burbank method until he was able to produce its giant melon. He predicts that in the not distant future 100 pound melons will be common. From four and one-half acres Mr. Carter marketed nearly $13,000 worth of watermelons, all at wholesale. N. W. C. A. NOTES The N. W. C. A. met the second Wednesday at the home and had an unusual large meeting. Mrs. Jennie Fleming of Detroit, Mich., Mrs. Mills, representing the Mosaic Temple of America, were visitors.

AIR SERVICE MAKES PICTURE MAP OF U. S. Largest Aerial Photographing Ever Attempted. Washington.—The largest aerial photographic mapping project attempted by any country is now under way in Texas and it is expected that when the work has been completed there will have been photographed 10,000 square miles. The time required in which to take thaphographs, develop and fit them together into one large map is estimated at three months. This work is being done by the photographic section of the air service of the army. Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick, chief of the air service, believes the making of maps is the most important peace-time work in which that service can be engaged, and says that these pictures are projects on which also the corps of engineers and United States geological survey are working. The importance of the enterprise may be grasped when one considers the element of time and the great cost to the country of the work. By aerial photography the saving in time is estimated at 75 per cent and 50 per cent in the cost of the survey. Many Requests Received. The office of the chief of air service is receiving many requests from governors and other officials of state, including counties, asking that the services of the photographic section of the air service be utilized in state and county survey work. Projects on which the army is now engaged include a map of Indiana and of, Chicago and vicinity, 1,500 square miles. This work is being done by the army photographic section stationed at Chanute field, III. The men at Scott field, Mo., are making a 500-mile map of a section of Missouri, co-operating with the United States geological survey and the corps of engineers. Approximately 1,000 square miles of the Missouri river is being taken from Kansas City to St. Louis. Air section photographers from Fort Riley, Kans., are mapping 500 square miles in the vicinity of St. Joseph, Mo., working with the United States geological survey. The air photographers also are cooperating with the corps of engineers and United States geological survey in Arizona, California, Hawaii and the Philippines. The crew of the planes doing this work consists of a pilot and an observer, the latter expert in making map pictures. The officers are selected from those who have completed courses in experimental work conducted at the air station in Dayton, Ohio. Work for This Year. General Patrick expects to photograph 30,000 square miles during the current fiscal year. It is the plan to make a picture map of the whole United States and it has been estimated it will take from five to eight years to complete it. The photographic sections of the air service are distributed throughout the country as follows: Fort Bliss, Texas; Langley field, Va.; Boiling field, D. C.; Maxwell field, Montgomery, Ala.; Chanute field, Chanute, Ill.; Wilbur Wright field, Dayton, Ohio; Mitchell field, Long island; Fort Riley, Kansas; Crissey field, Califf; Scott field, St. Louis, Mo.; Kelly field, Texas; Post field, Fort Sill, Okla.; Lake field, Hawaii; France field, Panama Canal zone and the Philippine islands. Philadelphia — Forty-nine blood transfusions within two years is the record of Charles Donnelly of Locust Gap, Pa., who is puzzling physicians in Jefferson hospital, where he is suffering from anemia.

His brothers, Frank, John, Joseph and Thomas, make periodical trips to the hospital, each time furnishing blood for their brother. Donnelly said he was growing weaker since the last transfusion a few weeks ago and that he needed more blood. He said that besides his brothers, several students had offered to give their blood. Motor Horn on Carriage Livens Belgrade Streets Belgrade...On all two-horse open carriages which here take the place of taxicabs, automobile horns have replaced the shrill yell of the driver as he tears through the streets, and all because of a young American. He came here to take over an automobile agency and found an overstock of horns. Some time later, curiously enough, the city authorities passed an ordinance compelling horse vehicles to be equipped with these signals. The American is happy and so is the populace,' because the constant shriek of the horns gives the city an appearance of rather sound, of hustling modernity. Campaign Costs Quarter Davenport, Iowa. Twenty-five cents made up the campaign expense account of H. Earl Fries, who won the Republican nomination for constable here against a field of seven candidates, he has announced. His itemized statement showed that the money was spent for an ice cream cone, a bottle of soda water and a package of cigarettes.

Laredo, Texas. — Notwithstanding diplomatic relations between Mexico and the United States have been restored, complaint is made by Texas border officers that it is virtually impossible to obtain extradition of fugitive criminals from Mexico. Such a voluminous amount of red tape must be unraveled that almost interminable delays result. To such a degree is this true that the formality of applying for the extradition of an offender who may have sought refuge in Mexico is seldom observed. Instead, a friendly understanding exists between the peace officers and government authorities of the border states on both sides of the international line that they will exchange fugitive criminals without legal process Even this agreement is not always lived up to by the Mexican authorities, it is charged here. As a matter of fact, hundreds of offenders against the law who fleed to Mexico in the last few years are living in apparent security against molestation in that country. All efforts to bring about their return to the American side of the boundary have proved futile, it is declared. No blame is attached to the Mexican government for this. The authorities of that country are too busy trying to round up a horde of domestic criminals to pay much attention to foreign refugees. During the recent revolutionary period hundreds of desperate criminals were released from prison by rebels and are today roaming over the country. Famous Indian of Old Alaska Is Dead Douglas, Alaska.—Dick Morgan, an Indian who died recently, was a historic character of Alaska, it was recalled by Rev. A. A. P. Kaseharoff of Juneau. Morgan, whom the United States naval authorities had employed as a policeman nearly 50 years ago, was sent with a message from Capt. L. A. Beerdlesse to settle differences that had arisen between the Kockwontland and Ganaadi tribes north of Sitka. Morgan informed the chiefs of the warring factions that they were to preserve order and to permit the white men to go through the Yukon passes. Morgan returned on February 12, 1880, with word to Captain Beerdlesse that the Indian factions would remain peaceful and that the white men could enter the country without fear. As a result of this parley the Chikat country was opened to miners. New York.—Alexander Konta, Wall street banker, was informed in a letter from Germany that his Berlin bank account of a million or so was waived in a million or so was in marks. The Dresdner Bank of Berlin wrote him the letter, which, after saying his account of 1,123,949 marks no longer existed, and adding that the smallest account now handled was 10,000,000,000 marks, read: "Your total account, therefore, has been used in part payment for postage on this letter and is now squared, we having paid the difference out of our own pocket." Oregon, Ill.—Many prominent citizens of Ogle county appeared in court here the other day as character witnesses for Bowser, a dog, now deceased, and their testimony saved Charles Vogeler, owner of the dog $5,000. Vogeler had been sued by Katherine Clinton, who alleged the dog was responsible for an automobile accident in which the complainant and her sister suffered serious injuries and Bowser was killed. The women said he dashed out at their car and his body became entangled in the front wheels and caused the car to turn over. The character witnesses testified that Bowser had a good reputation for peaceful and quiet habits and had never been known to run after a car. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. Seasickness Is Great Handicap to Soviet Fleet Riga, Latvia.—Seasickness is a great handicap to the activities of the soviet navy, says Naval Expert Lukashevich in an article in the soviet press discussing the necessity for long-distance cruising for the Red fleet. It is impossible, the writer says, to speak about the preparedness of the fleet unless it has had practical experience with such cruising. At present the soviet fleet is manned by young factory workers, and he expressed the belief that more than half the crew would be put out of action through seasickness in their first acquaintance with wind and waves. In the Caspian sea during the Civil war, Lukashevich added, seasickness disabled 80 per cent of the crews, and the remainder had the greatest difficulty in saving the ships. population of any northern state, and is followed, in the order named, by New York, Illinois, Missouri, New Jersey, Indiana, Michigan and Kansas.

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 about you. Notice today how you yourself watch another person's teeth when he or she is talking.
