SATURDAY IS BOOSTER DAY FOR OMAHA BALL TEAM----BE PRESENT HISTORIC CHURCH WILL CELEBRATE 80th ANNIVERSARY St. Matthew's Church, Detroit, Mich., Founded in 1844 by the Rev. William C. Monroe Will Commemorate Event HAS HAD NOTEWORTHY RECORD James Theodore Holly, Bishop of Haiti, and Two Other Priests Entered Ministry from Michigan Parish. The Rev. John Albert Williams will leave in a few days for Detroit, Mich., where he has been invited to preach the historical sermon, Sunday morning, September 14, in St. Matthew's church, in connection with the eightieth anniversary of the founding of that historic parish. It is a remarkable fact that nearly twenty years before the Civil War, or to be exact in 1944, a congregation of the Episcopal church was organized in Detroit, Mich., by the Rev. William C. Monroe, a colored clergyman, who was ordained deacon and priest by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Samuel A. McCoskry and who served the congregation for twelve years when he resigned to go as a missionary to Africa where he died. St. Matthew's has had a remarkable history. It was in this parish that James Theodore Holly, Who subsequently entered the ministry and was consecrated Bishop of Haiti, was received into the Anglican communion of the Catholic church. He had been reared in the faith and communion of the Roman Catholic church. It was while he was a communicant of St. Matthew's that he studied for the ministry and it was the rector and laymen of this parish who signed his testimonials incident to his ordination in St. Paul's church, Detroit, June 17, 1855. Two others, besides the late Bishop Holly, have entered the priesthood from St. Matthew's. These are the Rev. John Albert Williams of Omaha, and the Rev. Louis Hunton Berry of New York. A remarkable coincidence in the case of these two men is the fact that both are Canadians by birth, born in the same city, London, Ont., and subsequently removing with their parents to Detroit, were reared in St. Matthew's. Father Berry will preach Sunday night, September 14. Many prominent and influential laymen, both men and women, were reared here. At various times in its history St Matthew's has enjoyed the faithful ministrations of some of the very foremost clergymen of the American church, four of whom were elevated to the episcopate, namely: The Rev. Drs George Worthington, G. Mott Williams, Chauncey B. Brewster and Joseph H. Johnson. During Father Williams absence from Omaha Bishop Shayler will take charge of the services at the Church of St. Philip the Deacon. N. A. A. C. P. MEETS SUNDAY The Omaha Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People will hold its regular monthly meeting Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A., Twenty-fourth and Grant street. A good program will be given. All members are urged to attend. Are the bulk of the honest to goodness, dyed-in-the-wool baseball fans of the city discouraged over the fact that Denver, the team which has been runn-up to Omaha for several weeks in th Western League race, has finally passed us? The local team returned from Denver yesterday with the short end of a four game series in the Colorado city. Omaha copped the first one and the Berger boys the other three, two of them being both ends of a Wednesday double-header. These games, it has been related in the daily papers, were lost due to over-anxiousness of that dandy little sport, Tommy Thompson. It is the opinion of the writer that Tommp would make a far better ball player if he would get over his idea that he is a second Eddie Collins, when there are ladies in the first row of the box seats. Saturday has been designated as Omaha Booster Day by the management of the club and the Omaha Chamber of Commerce, under the supervision of Clarke G. Powell. Plans have been made to handle the largest crowd of the season at this game, and Barney has arranged to have a band in the stands to entertain the multitudes of raving fans, who will be howl- THE MONITOR The constitution of the United States provides that the people of all times are responsible for the national defense. It is an obligation imposed upon the people by our forefathers. In the past all major emergencies calling for enlistment in the National Defense has brought about great confusion, unnecessary expenditure of money and loss of lives. The National Defense Act of 1920, as an act by Congress, provides a definite policy for the country's defense. In that act provision is made for a small regular army, the National Guard of the various states and the Organized Reserves. This is a skeleton organization only, and is at present only about one-half of its statutory strength. This act further provides that in time of an emergency recruits will be assigned to the existing skeletonized organizations and the ranks filled in this way. On September 12th the War Department has planned a National Defense Day, which will serve to indicate the effectiveness of the National Defense Act, and will also indicate just how the citizens will be allocated when they are needed. Every good business, man inventories his capital and assets. This Defense Day may be likened to an inventory of a commercial organization, as the results obtained on this day will give the necessary information to further perfect for the common defense. The magnitude of the operations all over the country will necessitate many changes in the plans after this first test, so that to make this National Defense Act of 1920 workable and efficient: the co-operation of every citizen is necessary. The plans for the day are somewhat as follows: Each citizen will be asked to volunteer for that day and to align him or herself with some unit, either military or civil, in his community. The unit in that community will be made known through the daily papers and through the committees appointed to handle the programs in the various communities on September 12th. Enrollment blanks will be placed in each store, office and public building. Citizens may indicate on these enrollment blanks the position in which they desire to serve; for instance, should there be a National Guard organization in his community, the person may volunteer for service with that organization for that day only, or a Reserve Unit located in the town could be joined in the same way. Women can join Red Cross units, hospital units or canteen service. Men beyond active military age can align themselves with some non-combat unit. In fact, there is a place for each person in any community. As a public demonstration of patroltion parades, public speeches, patriotic music and other exercises will be carried on in each community, the parades to be participated in by the units and the volunteers in those units for that day. There is absolutely no military obligation involved in this voluntary military service for one day, nor will there be any expense to the government, as this work is being carried on by patriotic civilian organizations, aided by the regular establishments of the government. The Defense Day plans have been endorsed by organizations representing many millions of our people, who realize the necessity of preparedness. This ing for a home victory over Jack Leliveltis Oil Cans, and you can depend that it means much to score decisive victories over Tulsa for they are crowding both Omaha and Denver for first honors, and as they have the best of the argument in the league by a long finishing stand on their own lot, while the two leaders are both finishing the season on the road. The Saturday Booster Day has been arranged so that everyone in the city who has the well being of the Omaha club at heart can turn out en masse and show their appreciation of the way they have fought during the season to uphold the name of Omaha. The game will be called at three o'clock instead of the usual half hour later, and we have almost been virtually assurd that those nondescript specimens of so-called umpires, Gaffney and Hayes, late of some penal institution, will not be present at the game. A mammoth crowd will go a long way to encourage the boys to step out and defeat the leaders and regain the lead in the circuit, to the eventual winning of the Western League gonfalon. Remember the hour, 3 o'clock Saturday, and leave your pass at home, for the pass gate will be closed Saturday. A NATIONAL WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1924 HOW CINCINNATI WON A HEALTH PRIZE (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., Sept. 5.—Not by might, nor by luck, but through infinite planning and preparations, Cincinnati, O., won the silver loving cup given as first prize in the national Negro health week contest, if the word of James H. Robinson, executive secretary of the Ohio town's civic welfare association, is to be credited. Mr. Robinson, who has worked all through the years that Cincinnati's social service agencies for Negroes have been coming to the fore, is emphatic in his assertion that if his city had not gone out for health leadership in a systematic and scientific manner, the distinction would not have come to him. The prize was awarded during the "silver jubilee" of the National Negro Business league. Twelve colored social agencies and 15 white agencies working among colored people in Cincinnati work together through the Negro Civic Welfare Association of which Miss M. Edith Campbell, a white woman of national note, is chairman. The Civic Welfare Association resulted from a commission given Mr. Robinson by the directors of the Community Chest to form among and for Negroes, a sort of clearing house with which the chest officials might co-operate. Mr. Robinson, a Fisk and a Yale graduate and a winner of a Larned Fellowship in the social sciences, did his work to perfection. The unique success of Cincinnati in the observance of National Negro Health Week was due to the splendid co-operation of many of the leading health and social agencies and the leading health authorities of the city, the Negro Civic Welfare Association serving as the medium of co-operation and the driving force.

Robinson gave a most delightful dancing party at Dreamland Hall Friday evening in honor of their house guests, Mrs. Laura Chrisman-Bragg of Los Angeles, Mrs. Homer Roberts and Mrs. Dr. Brooks of Kansas City, Mo.

Mrs. Senora Findley-Maxwell of Denver, Mrs. Dr. Slater of Atlanta, Ga., Mr. and Mrs. Norman Thomas and Mr. C. L. Dotson of New York were among the out-of-town guests. CANDIDATE FOR JUDGE Detroit, Sept. 5-Alonzo D. Pettiford, lawyer, is the republican candidate for circuit judge in Wayne county. defense test should not interrupt the orderly processes of civil life in any community, nor should it be a burden upon any individual, but by participating in the exercises of the day and by voluntarily joining some organization, each citizen will provide his government with the necessary data upon which to base further plans for the national defense. MATTHEWS, BOSTON DIRECTS CAMPAIGN AMONG RACE VOTERS Republican Political Managers Have Chosen Aggregressive and Able Young Men to Get Vote in Line SIMMONS HANDLES PUBLICITY An Efficient Corps of Competent Men and Women Is Actively Functioning for Party Success. (By the Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Sept. 5. 5—William Clarence Matthews, of Boston, has been selected by William M. Butler, of Massachusetts, chairman of the republican national committee, to direct the racial program for the campaign of 1924. Matthews is functioning, with Monroe Mason, of Boston, editor of the Blue Helmet, as his secretary. Matthews, senior member of a leading firm of lawyers in Boston, with offices in the famous Old South building, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute and Harvard College, and an former U. S. District Attorney, is regarded as eminently qualified to fill the responsible position given him. Matthews is statesmanlike in handling political matters. He plays the game for advantage, but never forgets the highest and best interests of his people. This is a highly essential quality in political leadership—the interests of the people, as well as the party and the individual. With the appointment of Matthews, an entire readjustment of political activities is made. He plans a business like scientific campaign in which young men and new blood are to be given equal opportunity with the experienced campaigners of the past. The line up now is as follows: Director, William C. Matthews, Boston, Mass., with headquarters, Chicago. Secretary to Matthews, Monroe Mason, Boston. Chairman of Western Division, William T. Francis, Minnesota; Vice Chairman, Assistant, George W. Lee, Tenn. Chairman of Eastern Division, Charles E. Mitchell, of West Virginia; Vice Chairman, Robert L. Vann, Pennsylvania. Director of Women's Division, Miss Hallie Q. Brown, Ohio. Director of Publicity and Speakers, Roscoe C. Simmons. Secretary, Mrs. Camile Cohen-Jones. National Committeeman, Ga. Henry Lincoln Johnson. National Committeewoman, Ga., Mrs. G. S. Williams. National Committeeman, Miss., Perry W. Howard. National Committeewoman, Miss., Mrs. W. P. Booze. The following are members of the board of strategy: Emmett J. Scott, Washington; Robert R. Church, Memphis, and Robert L. Vann, Pittsburgh. Down to Brass Tacks. The republican national committee is down to brass tacks in the matter of dealing with the racial votes of the country. They are not endeavoring to fool themselves or anyone else into the belief that the votes of colored America will rush up to the poles without an understanding and vote the republican ticket. They are proceeding on thensible and practical basis that colored voters must be given good and sufficient reasons, as all other voters, why they should support the republican party. This manner of dealing with the voters will, in itself, have a direct appeal. It shows the type of recognition that colored citizens desire and, incidently, the type being accorded by other parties, including the democrats and progressives. More than in any previous campaign in the history of the country the other parties are appealing to the colored voter. The leaders of the republican cause, from Matthews down to the humblest, are recognizing this fact and telling it to Chairman Butler, and all of those associated with him. "Laying all the cards on the table is the sensible way of going after votes and saving the interests of the party," says Matthews. According to information coming from the republican national committee headquarters in Chicago, September 22nd will be turned into a national holiday of observing the preliminary emancipation proclamation, at which time celebrations will be held, and prominent speakers will be in all of the principal cities of the country. . AN EDUCATIONAL CAMPAIGN. A political educational campaign is being conducted under the auspices of the Workmens' Industrial, Social, Political and Economic organization. The first of a series of lectures will be held Monday evening, Sept. 8th, at 8:30 in Y. W. C. A., North 22nd and Grant Sts. Subject: The Preposed Initiative Act. It will be explained why it is to the interest of the people that necessitate the change in the party circle of the ballot, who are the citizens of the United States and the state wherein they reside and their duty to the body politic? Public invited, especially women. M. L. Hunter, Pres. . Indianapolis, Ind., Sept. 5.—The very largest real estate transaction of all time involving our group in this city was recently completed when the Madam C. J. Walker Mfg. Company purchased the northwest corner of North Street, West Street and Indiana Avenue for the sum of $58,000. This is a large property located in the heart of the business district, close to the world famous Soldiers and Sailors monument and has a most commanding view of the three above named streets which intersect to form six points. On this valuable corner passed daily by thousands of people, the Madam C. J. Walker Company will erect in the near future a new administrator and factory building. Plans are now being prepared and from some of the proposed features, it is to be the most beautiful and by far the best appointed building of it kind in the world today. Neither brains nor money, we learn, will be spared to make it equal to the growing needs of the Walker Company and another fitting monument to the memory of the late Madam C. J. Walker. KANSAS CITYIANS GIVEN MUCH SOCIAL ATTENTION Mrs. Homer Roberts and Mrs. Dr. Brooks of Kansas City, Mo., left Sunday evening for their homes after a most pleasant visit as the guests of Mrs. W. H. Robinson. They were the recipients of much social attention while in the city. Mrs. Roberts is the wife of the auto salesman, Homer Roberts, who has recently built a $70,000 salesroom and garage in Kansas City. Mrs. Brooks, who has been the secretary at the General hospital in Kansas City for several years, will be pleasantly remembered as Miss Goldie Cunningham, formerly of this city. A DELIGHTFUL SOCIAL FUNCTION One of the largest and most beautiful social affairs of the season was the reception and dance given by Mr. and Mrs. Alfreel Jones at Hillcrest in honor of their house guests, Dr. and Mrs. S. A. Huff of Denver, Colo. The house and porches were tastefully decorated with purple, green and white, the state colors of Colorado. About midnight the following unique dodgers were handed to the guests: STOP—LOOK—READ Dr. S. A. Huff of Denver, Colo., has opened a Sanitarium on the top floor of this building for the special care and treatment of very hungry patients and all resent who have been suffering from loss of meals from natural or unnatural causes, are respectfully and most urgently requested to attend the grand opening of this most marvelous institution which will open at once and remain open until closed. DR. S. A. HUFF, Physician in Charge. ALFRED JONES, Assistant. Denver address: 2701 Welton street (Five Points), Phone Champa 6001; Omaha address: 2811 Caldwell street, Phone Webster 0752. The guests repaired tothe "Sanitarium" where a bonifit luncheon was served. About 250 guests were present, among them being a large number of out-of-town visitors. GONZELL WHITE AT GAYETY Hear Her Band This Opportunity or Tediously Walt Two One of the tip-top high spots in the varied entertainment to be offered at the Gayetty twice daily all week starting Sunday is none other than Gonzell White's band of ten jazzers of real jazz, conceded to be the steepiest and classiest colored organization on tour. Miss White is issuing a challenge to the effect that she defies anyone to keep their feet still when her boys are well steamed up. This particular group of colored entertainers will not again be seen in Omaha is a long time as their present engagement with Mr. Doley is their final one. Miss White having contracted for the appearance of herself and band in Europe for a period of two years. An added feature at every performance will be the personal appearance of Mr. and Mrs. Lloyd Pauley, age 22 and 64, respectively, Omaha's own December and May of matrimony, who will tell of the romance of their courtship which culminated in their happy marriage over at Council Bluffs last April 7. WHITE RAPIST JAILED BUT NOT LYNCHED Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 5—James Johnson is in the Texarkana, Tex, jail on charges of having assaulted six race women in the Swampoodle district during the week. The women say that Johnson threatened to kill them if they reported his attacks. HOUSEKEEPER NEVER WEDDED LEFT FORTUNE Aged Woman and Son Left Bulk of White Kentucky Colonel's $500,000. Lexington, Ky., Sept. 5.—Death has disclosed another southern romance put up in the true style of the old South. Colonel John T. Hughes, aged 83, one of the wealthiest white farmers in central Kentucky, died here last week, laving the bulk of his $500,000 estate to three colored servants. The servants are Mrs. Ellen Davis, about 60 years old, his housekeeper, her son, Robert Henry Hughes, and Alexander Ranklin, the Colonel's valet. Important thing to note is that Hughes was a bachelor, according to his friends and never married and that the son of his housekeeper was given the Colonel's name. Rumor is that a common law ar- rangement existed between the couple who loved each other dearly, but who never wed on account of the differ- ence between thir races. The Hughes estate includes about 1,000 acres of the best land in the Blue Grass country. It fronts the Lexington-Paris road. This house together with 293 acres of land goes to Mrs. Davis who gets also the contents which includes antiques and modern furnishings, the farming utensils, wagons, stock, etc. Robert Henry Hughes, the colored son, gets the Sudly farm on another pike with 160 acres worth $300 an acre. Alexander Ranklin the Colonel's valet who served the Colonel for forty years was given the Ware farm containing 96 acres worth at least $50,000 for his natural life time and at Rankin's death, the farm according to the will, will revert to Robert Henry Hughes, whom the Colonel styles in his as "the son of my old colored servant, Ellen Davis, who has worked for me faithfully for over forty years." Colonel Hughes never went around about the neighbors. The bluest blood of the South is said to have flowed in his veins. He knew few people although everybody knew him. His colored family is likewise quite reticent. Mrs. Davis is now living a in a rather plain home in Chestnut street in the colored section of this town. She refused a photographer permission to make a picture of her. CRACKER PICKED LAWYER AS HIGHWAY ROBBER Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 5.—All colored people looked alike to a white man in criminal court recently who had a number of colored persons arrested on charge of highway robbery. Asked by the court to pick out the man who struck him the plaintiff walked up to C. H. Calloway, local attorney, and pointed him out. The court dismissed the case and drove the prosecutor from the room. 46 COLORED INSURANCE Chicago, Sept 5.—By Carey B. Lewis)—Representatives of 35 sick and accident insurance companies, 11 legal life reserve and one fire insurance company meeting here with the Business League elected Frank Gillespie of the Liberty Life Company president to succeed C. C. Spaulding of the North Carolina Mutual. The 46 colored insurance companies of the United States have assets amounting to $10,000,000. BATTLING MONROE TO FIGHT JACK MENLO FOR A STREET CAR CHECK A boxing card, which will be fit for the whiskers of the kings and lords, will be dished up to the Omaha fans at the city auditorium next Thursday night. All of the indications are pointing to this being one of the best cards pulled off here in many a moon. Strong lines are out for a fight between Black Jack Menlo of Council Bluffs and Battlemonroe, the ebony skinned tiger of Omaha. Menlo holds a newspaper decision over Monroe, and the local boy is willing to fight for a stret car check, if Promoter Isaacson can land Menlo as an opponent. This is a fight that will please the bloodthirsty fans of the crowd. Ted Moore, the much touted London middle, will meet th old reliable and battle scarred Morrie Schlaifer, in the main event, and as Moore had the better of a previous argument between th two, the Fighting Fool will bust an ankle or ear bone if necessary to whip the cocky Englishman, who is coming here under the management of Tom O'Rourke, of New York, the veteran fight manager and promoter. Morrie has been going great guns of late, and as Moore has whipped the best men in the middle class of the country—well, it sounds good, fellows, a great fight can be anticipated. GROWING THANK YOU 478 Vol. X—No. 10 PIONEER EDUCATOR OF NEGRO DOCTORS CALLED TO REWARD Founder and President Emeritus of Meharry Medical College Dies at Home in Nashville, Tennessee RENDERED A GREAT SERVICE George Whipple Hubbard Labored Sixty Years in Nashville in the Work of Race Education. Nashville, Tenn.—George Whipple Hubbard, founder and president emeritus of Meharry medical college, died in this city at 5:30 o'clock Friday morning. Dr. Hubbard was the leading spirit in educational lines of this city. He had labored sixty years in Nashville for Negro education. The funeral services were held Sunday afternoon in the Meharry auditorium. Dr. W. F. Tillett, dean and director of the school of religion at Vanderbilt university, delivered the funeral address. Dean Tillett had been personally acquainted with Dr. Hubbard for forty-two years. Prominent business men of the city took part on the program. Obituary of George Whipple Hubbard. Dr. George Whipple Hubbard, fourth son of Jonathan B. and Annie (Whipple) Hubbard, was born August 11, 1841, in Charlestown, N. H., and was educated at New Hampshire Conference seminary and New London Literary and Scientific institution; delegate of the Christian commission in the Army of the Potomac, and also in the Army of the Cumberland in 1864; taught a regimental school in the 110th U. S. C. I. in 1865-6; principal of the Bellevue public school, Nashville, Tenn., 1867-74. He graduated in the medical department of university of Tennessee in 1876, and in the medical department of Vanderbilt university in 1879. In 1876 he was appointed by the Fredman's Aid society of the M. E. church to organize a medical department of Central Tennessee. This department has been known as Meharry Medical College. He was dean of this college since its organization till it was re-organized in 1916 when he became its first president. He retired in 1921, having served 45 years as head of the institution. The direct descendants of the Hubbard family remaining are: Mr. Harry Hubbard of Kansas City, Kansas; Dr. George W. Hubbard, Mineral Wells, Texas; Rural Hubbard, Mrs. Allie Hubbard McLeoud, Los Angeles, Calif.; Dr. Jennie Hubbard Bowles of Denver, Colo., children of his brother, David Hubbard. Also Mrs. Esther Hubbard Chellis of Claremont, N. H., daughter of his brother, Henry Hubbard. To use the words of Julius Rosenwald: "The notable career of Dr. Hubbard, the founder and long time president of the institution, his work and his spirit of devotion will be perpetuated as the college develops in the future years upon the foundation he laid so well and in the lives of the many students whom he trained. He won and deserved the confidence of the Negroes by his untiring efforts to promote their professional education. He gained the respect and approval of white people all over the land by his fidelity to the task to which he devoted his long useful life. His monument is Meharry Medical College." E TO FIGHT JACK TREET CAR CHECK The Nebraska Wildcat, Ace Hudkins, of Omaha, another of Pat Boyle's boys, will meet Joe Jawson of Milwaukee, in the semi-windup, and this man Jawson, who holds decisions over both Pinkie and Ritchie Mitchell, claims that he has never been knocked down. Here's betting that Ace turns the trick. The Douglas County Post of the American Legion is putting on the show, which is alone enough to tell you that every bout should be a good one, and that there will be a tremendous crowd in the old fight shed on next Thursday night. Tickets are on sale at the usual pieces and at the usual prices. POLICE HALT KLANSMEN Lawnside, N.

DAWES FIRES A DUD GENERAL DAWES in his recent so-called "denunciation of the Klan" fired a dud. He had better said nothing. His utterances have deservedly laid him open to criticism; for he clearly gave encouragement to that organization. He criticised it in one breath and justified it in another. He regretted its violence and tactics in certain quarters, but said, in effect, that in places there was some justification for its existence. He is absolutely wrong. No conditions, in Oklahoma or elsewhere, in these United States justify such an organization. If the law cannot be executed or enforced by the orderly procedure of the courts and the regularly constituted authorities, civil and military then American civilization is doomed. There is never any justification for the mob, despite the fact that America seems to think so, and the Klan, notwithstanding its apologists, is a cowardly and lawless mob. There is no justification whatsoever for it. Dawes shot a dud, when he should have fired a broadside. A GREAT BENEFACTOR HENRY WHIPPLE HUBBARD at the age of 83 years has entered into well-earned rest. He was one of earth's noblemen, a great benefactor of humanity in general and of our own race in particular. All over this country there are eminent and successful physicians and surgeons for whom the vision and courage of Dr. Hubbard made it possible to enter that honorable and useful profession. At a time when the doors of very few institutions were open to Negro youth in the North and none in the South Dr. Hubbard belonging to that band of noble and courageous white men and women of New England, who, believ- A PRAYER FOR DELI PREI By Mormon (For the Associated Negro Press) O GOD, who hast made man in Thine own likeness and who dost love all whom Thou hast made, suffer us not, because of difference in race, color or condition, to separate ourselves from others, and thereby from Thee; but teach as the unity of Thy family and the universality of Thy love. As Thy Son, our Savior, was born of an Hebrew mother and ministered first to His brethren of the House of Israel, but rejoiced in the faith of a Syro-Phoenician woman and of a Roman soldier, and suffered His cross to be carried by a man of Africa, teach us, also, while loving and serving our own, to enter into the communion of the whole human family; and forbid that, from pride of birth and hardness of heart, we should despise any for whom Christ died, or injure any in whom He lives. Amen. O GOD, who hast made a who dost love all whom because of difference separate ourselves from other teach as the unity of Thy Thy love.

He founded Meharry Medical school at Nashville, Tenn., and for sixty years was an outstanding figure in Nashville in educational work among our people. Meharry is his monument. But more lasting than Meharry are the memorials he has wrought in the hearts and the lives of the thousands of young men and women who came under his influence and for whom he made it possible to secure honorable and useful careers in the medical, dental and nursing professions. Meharry men rank high in their profession. They are well-trained and conscientious. This bespeaks the character, thoroughness and ideals of the founder and president of the school. It is men of the type and mould of the late Dr. Hubbard, of whom there are far too few in our day and generation, who do much to redeem the name of the dominant race from the charge of injustice and insincerity in its attitude towards and its dealing with our people. We owe a debt to such men as he and that debt can only be paid by showing ourselves worthy of the opportunities made for us by those whom we will always hold in grateful remembrance. ACT WISELY IT IS GRATIFYING to notice that the managers of the National Republican campaign have acted very wisely in selecting many of the younger and progressive men of our race to do active work among our people. Matthews of Boston is an excellent choice to head the bureau. Roscoe Simmons as head of the publicity and speakers bureau could not be improved upon.

The republican leaders have acted wisely in the choice of their campaign forces to operate among colored voters who in this campaign are an unknown quantity and a most valuable political asset. This recognition of the younger element is a wise movement. DEFENSE TEST DAY FRIDAY is Defense Test Day. It is designated to test the ability of the nation to defend itself in case of war. It is simply an inventory-taking movement. Our people are urged to take their part in it and will doubtless do so. Its purpose is explained in an article in this issue. A WORD ABOUT SCHOOLS WE ARE GRATIFIED to call attention to the large enrollment of colored youth in the High schools of the city. This is as it should be. Children should be encouraged to go to High school and college and to take every advantage of their educational opportunities. In the meanwhile we should be utilizing our resources to the utmost to help prepare places for them commensurate with their training, talents and ability when the days of their pupilage are ended. REMEMBER HISTORY HISTORY is a record of past events. Study it and be guided. Do not forget that the Knights of the Golden Circle prepared the way for the War of the Rebellion which aimed at the overthrow of the Federal Government and the establishment of the Southern Confederacy. Be not misguided. The Ku Klux Klan is striving for the control of the government. If successful it means Civil War. "Domestic fury and fierce civil strife will cumber all the parts of Italy (or of America)." Remember history! ALLEN CHAPEL A. M. E. CHURCH 25th and R St. Phone Market 3475 O. J. Burckhart.

Washington—Thomas Brown, a clerk in the Richmond (Va.) post office in 1810, has been given official credit for having invented the "post office box." While there are no Post Office department records to show that Brown was the first to make and put the post office box in use, there is nothing on file to disprove the claim made for him by his great-granddaughter, Miss Mary D. Lewis of Taliahassee, Fla. Postmaster General New, therefore, has replied to a letter from Miss Lewis presenting the claim by stating he is ready to give Brown the benefit of the doubt and acknowledge him as the inventor. Brown's memoirs, published some time after his death, fully set forth the circumstances leading to the invention. He wrote: "I was the inventor or planner of post office boxes. These were times of embargo, nonintercourse, etc., and, of course, speculation was rife. The first news was important and therefore there was always a great rush to the post office as soon as the mail came in, for letters. "The universal plan was to hand out letters from a round pane of glass from the front window. I have seen the whole street blocked by people waiting their turn to get to the window to ask for letters." Brown was asked to devise a plan to remedy the situation. He did so by fitting a partition across a large room, filling it with pigeonholes covered at one end with glass with each hole numbered in front and bearing the name of the box-holder at the open end. About 400 boxes were quickly engaged at 50 cents for each three months. Brown's plan is still utilized in post offices throughout the smaller cities and towns of the country. Camden, N. J.—The myth of a $1,000,000,000 estate remaining unsettled in New York was revived by the announcement by Miss Irene Powers, eighty-two years old, of Camden, that she intended to try to obtain a portion of the land supposed to have been left by Anneke Jans Bogardus. She said that she still hoped to share in the property, which comprises 62 acres between Broadway and the Hudson river, and includes the sites of the Woolworth building, Trinity church and other structures. Although she has knowledge of the many futile attempts of this kind in the past, Miss Powers insists that she will pass her remaining years seeking to obtain millions which she declares are hers by right of inheritance. Anneke Jans Bogardus inherited the property from her first husband, Roelof Jans, who bought it in 1636. She was supposed to have left the property under a 90-year lease to its occupants, with the understanding that it would revert to her heirs when the period expired. Actually, the property was transferred to the governor of the province, and later presented to Trinity church by Queen Anne. On this filmsy evidence thousands of descendants of Anneke Jans have made attempts to acquire riches. The claim was outlawed by the New York Court of Appeals in 1856, and again in 1881. Swindlers have repeatedly capitalized the story by luring supposed heirs into schemes for recovering the estate. Standing Room Only Constantinople.—The new prefect of Constantinople, Emine Bey, to instil the spirit of "husite" into the prefecture officials, has given orders that no chairs be allowed in any office except the chairs occupied by the officials themselves. This is intended to discourage the inveterate habit of Turkish officials of comfortably installing their business visitors, treating them to coffee, and gossiping interminably without getting down to business. Change Names at Will Rign.—A recent decree of the central soviet authorities grants every Russian citizen over eighteen years the right to change his family name and his first name as often as he pleases, with full legal validity, simply by notifying the registrar of the community. Washington.—The engine used in a Bielot monoplane to carry the first aerial mall in the United States has been presented to the Smithsonian Institution by Earl Ovington, a Santa Barbara (Cal.) aviator, who, in 1911, was sworn in as the first aerial postman. The official document, bearing the signature of Postmaster General Hitchcock and Chief Inspector Morgan of New York also will be presented to the institution, together with a sample of mall carried on the first trip and a photograph of the plane. Film 1-254,000 of Inch Washington—Probably the thinnest celluloid films ever produced have been made by the bureau of standards. They are so thin that 254,000 of them can be packed in a space an inch thick. They were made by dissolving the celluloid in an acrylicate and dropping the solution on a clean water surface, allowing the acetate to evaporate. The acetate will use the films in X-ray SIGHT OF CHILDREN IS BEING NEGLECTED SIGHT OF CHILDREN IS BEING NEGLECTED Small Percentage Receives Tests, Says Survey. New York-Only 4,227,702 of the 24,000,000 school children in the United States received eye tests in 1923, according to a preliminary report issued by the Eye Sight Conservation Council of America embodying the initial findings of a nationwide survey of eye conservation in education and industry. The survey, which covers the results of testing the eyes of more than 10,000,000 students extending over a period of 16 years, discloses, it is asserted, that the eyes of children in the public schools throughout the nation is being neglected. "The eyesight of children in the public schools throughout the United States is not being given proper attention," says the report. "Even simple tests to detect the most evident cases of defective vision are not made generally. A very low percentage of the total enrollment receives eyesight tests of any kind. In the schools where tests are made there are wide differences in the results obtained. This indicates that in many schools the tests are made very superficially and that a uniform procedure is not observed in making the tests." John J. Tigert, United States commissioner of education, and a member of the board of councillors of the Eye Sight Conservation Council, says that defective vision is believed to contribute toward retardation. Commenting on the disclosure of the survey, which, he points out, should tend to develop an important field of education which has been too long neglected, Commissioner Tigert declares: "The establishment of a consciousness of the need of attacking physical defects of the need of our school children as a part of our educational program can scarcely be over emphasized. This is peculiarly true with reference to eyesight, because defective vision intermeses more with educational progress than any other defect of sensation. "Experience has clearly established that tests for defective vision may be carried out advantageously by the teachers. It is important to emphasize that suitable provisions are not now made for training teachers, school nurses and health inspectors in the methods of making tests. The council is doing a splendid thing in helping to secure such provision." The data from which the council's report was prepared was gathered from widely different sources, including reports of state departments of education and state boards of health since 1907, covering 6,600,000 eye examinations, and municipal reports since 1907 covering 3,500,000 examinations. The most recent statistics were obtained through data obtained from public schools of 247 cities. "Only a small number of school children receive periodic eyesight tests at regular intervals." continues the council's report. The council has verified this statement in two ways, first by a summary of replies from state officials and second by a summary of replies from city school superintendents. Simple visual acuity tests reveal that 25 per cent of the school children in the United States have manifest defects of vision and symptoms of oystrain. More thorough examinations indicate that over 50 per cent of school children have eye defect of sufficient degree to warrant correction. There is no uniform method for testing eyesight, says the report. Eye tests as made in the public schools are merely tests for keenness of vision and reveal but a portion of eye errors, according to the council, which says that especially in children a large proportion of eye defects are hidden, and while the child is contending with the defect, his keenness of vision is not affected. Gold Prospectors Cause Bulawayo, Southern Rhodesia.—Gold prospecting is very active throughout Rhodesia and so keen are the prospectors in pegging out claims that eight of them slept throughout the freezing cold one night on the site of a dead miner's forfeited gold claim, known as Mick's Luck, near Essay Vale, at one time the home of the famous explorer F. C. Selous. As soon as it was daylight there was a wild stampede among the men to erect the customary notices. Motorcars had arrived for two of the competing amateurs, who apparently thought that first registration of a claim at the mines office in Bulawayo established a prior right to it. These two men had a furious race to Bulawayo, covering the distance of 30 miles over the rough veldt road in 45 minutes. Wealthy Man Creates Belfast.-Newtownkelly is the name of a new town which has sprung from the venture of Sir Samuel Kelly, wealthy mine owner, and which is said to be the greatest commercial undertaking ever attempted single handed in Ireland. He has successfully prospected for coal, sunk two deep shafts, constructed overhead equipment and laid eight railway sidings. Colliers which he brought from Cumberland and Scotland live in the new town. Turtle. Dated 1884. Is Moorefield, W. Va.—Zack Reel found a land turtle on the Woerner place near Kessler on which was carved the name of "Joseph F. Woerner," and the date, "May 11, 1884." Woerner is living with his daughter, Mrs. Edward Smith, at present. The same turtle was found by Reel once before about 100 yards from where it was discovered this time.

New Material Lessens Moscow.—Russia's scarcity of living accommodations and the high cost of building material have forced the soviet authorities to experiment in the construction of what are termed "thermolite" houses, the invention of a Russian engineer named Peter Galakhoft. A thermolite house has the conventional framework of wood, but a liquid material of heavy consistency (thermolite), composed of sawdust, straw and common tree leaves, mixed with lime, plaster and antiseptic solution, is interposed between the outer and inner boards. When this mixture becomes hard, the house is rendered moisture-proof, resists decay, and is impervious to certain insects. With a coating of special paint containing the same ingredients as the thermolite," the house is also rendered fireproof. Houses of this type, according to the inventor, can be erected for 25 per cent less than the ordinary house and can be completed within less than six weeks. Radio Replaces Pastor on Island Off Sweden Stockholm.—A radio loudspeaker has taken the place of a minister for the first time in Sweden on the Island of Utoe in the Stockholm Archipelago. The congregation, after having taken part in the service broadcast from Stockholm, was enthusiastic in its praises of the new scheme, since the island, especially in the winter time, often cannot be reached by ministers, owing to bad navigation conditions.
