WILL WORK FOR SUCH RESULTS Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 20.—What provision should a fair-minded community make for its colored population? In the effort to answer that question the staff of the Commission on interracial co-operation, in session here, has formulated the following as a suggestive minimum standard of community provision for Negro welfare as to schools, health, economic improvement and public welfare institutions: Equitable distribution of school funds, both for maintenance and buildings; Jeanes Fund supervising teacher for colored schools of the county; erection of at least one Rosenwald school a year until the needs are met; erection and maintenance of a central training school; colored parent-teacher association which receives the co-operation of the white association; colored public health, nurse and adequate hospital facilities; colored farm and home demonstration agents; proper provision for Negroes in jails, almshouses and juvenile detention homes; juvenile probation officer or advisory committee; humane and just administration of the law, without discrimination as to race. This standard is being put into the hands of local inter-racial committees throughout the south, as suggesting practical lines of effort. In the main it is thought to be well adapted to every community where there is a considerable colored population.

Baer, principal of the Danville high school, Danville, Illinois, commending him for refusing to dismiss a colored drummer in the school band. Three white boys, two cornetists and a drummer, resigned from the band and tried to create trouble among the other players because of the colored boy's presence.

WAR DEPARTMENT YIELDS TO COLOR PREJUDICE CLAIM Denver War Veterans Condemn Revoking of Order Stationing Twenty-fourth Infantry at Forth Logan SEND PROTEST TO PRESIDENT (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Feb. 20.—Lientenant Earl W. Mann, colored world war veteran, and commander of the Wallace Simpson Post 29 of the American Legion, located in Denver, Colo., has sent to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, a resolution passed by his post condemning the action of the war department in bowing to race prejudice by revoking its order stationing the 25th U. S. Infantry at Fort Logan because of protests received from white residents. The war department had ordered the 25th Infantry, a colored unit, transferred from field duty on the Mexican border, to Fort Logan. Shortly afterward this order was revoked. "The only reason," says the colored veterans' resolution, "as set forth for the repeal of the said war department order, commanding the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., to garrison duty at Fort Logan, Colo., is in compliance with the wishes of certain citizens of Englewood, Colo., expressed and transmitted through the Englewood Chamber of Commerce." The resolution further states that "this complaint and objection to the garrisoning of the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., at Fort Logan, Colo., is based solely upon the color of the troops." Setting forth that the war department action constitutes an injustice, and an unwarranted reflection upon a body of loyal and well behaved U. S. soldiers the resolution concludes: "Resolved, That it is for the purpose of securing equitable treatment for the members of the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., and for the protection and perpetuation of friendly relations between the white and colored people of America that we, the Wallace Simpson Post, American Legion; the Denver Colored Civic Association, the Denver Ministerial Interdenominational Alliance, and the Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. respectfully and most earnestly petition our worthy and estimable President of the United States, our Honorable Secretary of War, and the Honorable members of the Congress of the U. S. from the Centennial state, to give these resolutions and petition their unbiased consideration and bring such influence to bear as will assure the garrisoning of the 25th Infantry, U. S. A., at Fort Logan, Colo." The resolution was signed by Lieutenant Earl W. Mann, commander Wallace Simpson Post 29, American Legion; E. V. Cammel, president The Denver Colored Civic Association; C. H. Uggams, president The Denver Ministerial Interdenominational Alliance, and George W. Gross, president Denver Branch N. A. A. C. P. Copies have been sent to the White House in Washington, to Congress, the Secretary of War, the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. and the colored press. INTRODUCES ANTI-EQUAL RIGHTS BILL IN COLORADO Denver, Colo., Feb. 20.—Two bills to repeal the Colorado civil rights act, which guarantees equal privileges at all places of public accommodation to citizens of every race and color, have been introduced into the state legislature.

GROWING :: :: THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 33 Night LEAGUE URGES THE OBSERVANCE OF ATTUCKS DAY Anniversary of Death of Crispus Attucks, First American Martyr Urged for Observance Every March 5th SPECIAL VALUE THIS YEAR Boston, Mass., Feb. 20.—The annual observance on March 5th of the death of the first martyr to American Independence, a colored man, Crispus Attucks, by the colored race in the U. S. A., a republic born in his blood as he bravely resisted British military occupation and tyranny, as a national race day is advocated by the National Equal Rights League. March 5th signifies the races' greatest asset in that the proto-martyr to the new nation was colored and the league holds that its annual observance as "Citizenship Foundation Day" affords a vital opportunity to proclaim publicly to white Americans the soldier service so loyally given them wherever they have been asked for help, from Boston Massacre to the World War, to save white civilization everywhere. Attucks leaflets can be secured from 103 Court St., Boston, office of corresponding secretary, Wm. Monroe Trotter, of the league which points out that, as the date follows the inauguration appeals from the observances in the name of Attucks of Mass to President Collidge of Mass. to abolish segregation by the federal government Attucks died to found, will be very effective. All churches also are asked to have prayers and send a resolution to Pres. Coolidge on March 1st making it "Equal Rights Sunday." All branches newly organized leagues, equal rights committees or other bodies are urged to hold meetings on March 5th and send resolutions to the White House. DEBATE PROVES HIGHLY INSTRUCTIVE AND HELPFUL Those who were fortunate enough to attend the debate held by the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. at the North Side "Y" last Sunday afternoon enjoyed a rich intellectual treat. The subject was, "Resolved, That the Negro is taking advantage of his opportunities." The affirmative was supported by the Rev. Russel Taylor and Mrs. Frederick Divers and the negative by Mr. Henry W. Black and Mrs. Senora M. Wilkinson. Each side had thoroughly prepared its argument and the audience was given many instructive facts. So ably was each side presented that it would have been difficult to decide which won the victory had a decision been called for. So much interest was manifested that a resolution was unanimously adopted directing the continuation of the subject on the first Sunday in March, when the Rev. J. A. Harris will open for the affirmative and Mr. Y. G. Logan for the negative, after which it will be thrown open to the house. Look up your facts and statistics and come prepared to defend your side. THE NORTH SIDE BRANCH Y. W. C. A. The committee on management met Wednesday, February 11, at the Y. W. C. A., 22nd and Grant.

OBSERVANCE OF LENT BEGINNING next Wednesday millions of people throughout the world will be observing, with more or less earnestness and consistency, the penitential season of Lent. This is a period of forty days duration, or to be quite exact forty-six days, including the six Sundays, which are not observed as days of fasting or abstinence. During these forty days which are supposed to conform with the Forty Days Fasting and Temptation of Christ in the wilderness, millions of Christian folk throughout the world are by the terms of their church membership and faith required to use "such a measure of abstinence as is more especially suited to extraordinary acts and exercises of devotion." In other words this is a period of intensive spiritual training. It is a time for religious stock taking. That this season has such a long history and is so universally observed shows that it must be beneficial. If such a period has proven beneficial in days less strenuous than these it will be frankly conceded by all who are thoughtful that in this feverish rushing ae of amusement and money chasing when even the cultural life, is given such scant attention, that such a period as this is most impatiently needed by the American people, of all people, to recall us to moral poise. Lent calls for abstinence. Such a measure of it as is especially suited to extraordinary acts and exercises of devotion. Abstinence means a voluntary refraining from some indulgence of the appetite or the gratification of the ordinary propensities of nature for the attainment of some specific, and, generally, higher aim, object or purpose. It means self denial for the gaining of the mastery. This may be the mastery of self or of one's conditions. To illustrate: One may want to become a home-owner. For a term of years he must deny himself certain things which he would very much enjoy in order that he may pay for his home. Or, again, one desires to acquire an education, a trade, business or profession and become proficient in his line. For a time he must practice self-denial. The objective of Lent is growth in the spiritual life. The principle underlying it, is that for a definite period of time such abstinence be practiced as will give more opportunity for prayer, meditation, serious thought, devotional reading, self-examination and like "acts and exercises of devotion", as will help develop strong, consistent Christian character. We believe that an earnest observance of such a season as this by all religious people, in the way in which it is intended to be used, would have a tremendous influence in raising the moral and spiritual tone of the nation. THE DUTY OF BEING PLEASANT WE HOLD that it is a social duty for people to practice the art of THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible. No element of An yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in explore the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Moder A moment's thought will easily convince open-minded persons that the contribution of the Negro to American nationality as slave, freedman and citizen was far from negligible. No element of American life has so subtly and yet clearly woven itself into warp and woof of our thinking and acting as the American Negro. He came with the first explorers and helped in exploration. His labor was from the first the foundation of the American prosperity and the cause of the rapid growth of the new world in social and economic importance. Modern democracy rests not simply on the striving white men in Europe and America but also on the persistent struggle of the black men in America for two centuries. The military defense of this land has depended upon Negro soldiers from the time of the Colonial wars down to the struggle of the World War. Not only does the Negro appear, reappear and persist in American literature but a Negro American literature has arisen of deep significance, and Negro folk lore and music are among the cheiest heritagees of this land. Finally the Negro has played a peculiar spiritual role in America as a sort of living, breathing test of our ideals and an example of the faith, hope and tolerance of our religion—Du Bois, "The Gift of Black Folk."

There is nothing to be gained by going around with a frown and courting grouchiness. You feel better and everybody with whom you come in contact feels much better if you are pleasant rather than grouchy. The fellow was right who told a frowning Omahan a few days ago, "Smile, Man, smile. A smile don't cost a damn cent and it's worth a million dollars." ANOTHER KICK THE attention of the Commissioners is called to the fact that many of the sidewalks in certain sections of our city are impassible when it is muddy. Take, for example, Paul street from Twentieth to Twenty-third. It is impossible for the scores of children who use this thoroughfare in going to Kellom school to avoid becoming mired in the mud. And we are intimately acquainted with a minister of the Gospel who is compelled to use the same street frequently who would shock the pious members of his flock if he did not school himself in self-restraint as he slips and founders in the mud. Gentlemen, please get busy, and give us decent sidewalks and pavements on Paul street and in other parts of our city. Mud is good in its place. Its place is not where sidewalks ought to be. Yes, this is another kick. FEBRUARY MONTH FEBRUARY is noted as the birth month of several prominent Americans. Among the outstanding names are those of George Washington, Frederick Douglass, Abraham Lincoln and Henry W. Longfellow. Among this galaxy and of course it is incomplete we as a people venerate the name and memory of Lincoln, the Emancipator; and Frederick Douglass, of our own blood and race, the friend and confidant of Lincoln. Each rose from lowly conditions to eminence. BACK ON THE JOB WE ARE GLAD to welcome to our desk again The Louisville News, which has been in a state of suspended animation for some months.

When there is no reply the paper stops. UCTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE I easily convince open-minded man of the Negro to American man and citizen was far from american life has so subtly and warp and woof of our thinking negro. He came with the first intention. His life was from THE TOWER Looking On and Listening In by the Tower Man The next Pan-African Conference, according to authentic information given Tower Man, will be held in principal cities of a number of the West Indies islands during December, 1925. This will afford an unprecedented opportunity for the darker people of the western hemisphere to unite on a change of viewpoint. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is the founder and president of the conference. Thursday, March 12th, will be the birthday anniversary of the late Col. Charles Young. The Omega Psi Phi Greek letter fraternity and the Associated Negro Press have diligently sought to keep the memory of this great soldier and gentleman fresh in the minds of Americans. It can be stated with unquestioned authority that an effort is now being made to memorialize the name of Colonel Young in a manner that will meet the hearty approval of every red blooded American. The matter has been officially placed before President Coolidge, who is giving it serious consideration. Mme. A'Lelia Walker, of New York, Chicago and Indianapolis, it has been announced, has contributed $25,000 to the campaign on the Tuskegee-Hampton endowment fund. There can be nothing less than real hope for a people who develop philanthropic spirits thus visioned and generously minded. Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Allen of Chicago, celebrated their silver wedding by a mammoth gathering of their friends in beautiful Warwick Hall, Tuesday evening, February 3rd. Mr. Allen is a postman, property owner, Aopomattock club member, but both he and Mrs. Allen are famous in Chicago for their congeniality and hospitality. In these days of many divorces and hard-boiled friendships, it is inspiring to note some of the good old fashioned ways. Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is a recent extended interview with Tower Man closed by saying that he has great hope for the future of the American Negro. Dr. DuBois is of the opinion that there will be "contending forces" for an indefinite period, but that the white people of today are awakened to the fact that they have "real men to deal with", and are basing their program of activity on this slant. As a good father Dr. DuBois has pardonable pride in the art development of a charming daughter, Miss Yolandi DuBois, a graduate of Fisk and a present student in Columbia university. William Randolph Hearst, who says he is a "newspaper man" and not a "journalist" stirred up a veritable hornet's nest when he telegraphed Henry Ford, of Detroit, Mich., to ascertain that unique gentleman's attitude on Muscle Shoals, where the government has spent $140,000,000, and much of the work has been done by colored labor. Mr. Ford now favors government control, and his old friends are now wondering "What's it all about?" Muscle shoals is again, or still upon the shoals, and it's all up to Captain Cal. There is no use talking, a white man who only occasionally comes in contact with the world of "Sun-Kissed America" cannot get our angle of the "eternal fitness of things". Over in Cleveland, Ohio, for example, the distinguished City Manager W. R. Hopkins, a fine spirit personally, has "got in bad" with the populace when, inaugurating the Phillis Wheatley campaign for $60,000 he referred to the 40,000 newcomers to Cleveland in the last ten years as a "menace". He has been explaining and on the defensive ever since. Take in the matter of advertisements in our newspapers, white artists, even though kindly in spirit, having been reared under the caricature environment, cannot put the soul into drawings of us that our artists' see, being with us day by day in every way. The Tattler, illustrated weekly of New York, is about to have another birthday. The Messenger, monthly, same city, with its eight pages in the January issue, has been given an impetus that helps magazine reading everywhere. Chicago, foremost in racial news gathering, service, and newspapers, is about to launch a new magazine backed by white and colored capital. Memory goes back to the "Voice of the Negro," but this is a new day, and, though, they moved the Voice to Chicago after the Atlanta riot and it could not make it, Chicago now has the vision, and we'll just have to wait and see how things are coming out. There are hundreds of new visioned Americans who are pinning much faith on the future, both in an artistic and commercial way, in the further musical development of colored America. It is a big field, we are in the swing of it, and it looks like we are going to keep right on going "until Shiloh comes". "Questions and Answers in Negro History" by George Wells Parker of the Associated Negro Press staff, is regarded by eminent thinkers as the most constructive department established for racial journalism in years. Mr. Parker is an acknowledged authority on the subject of history affecting THE MONITOR the darker peoples of the world, and the newspapers of the nation are displaying fine judgment in the fine presentation of Mr. Parker's opinions. Too long has colored America been "asleep at the switch", taking the white viewpoint of darkskinned history of the world. It is a distinct contribution that we are now furnishing our own facts, and sensible white historians are now endeavoring to tell the truth.

Washington.—With a six or seven-year period ahead before the United States may lay down its first replacement battleship under the Washington naval treaty, navy experts will have ample time to make the utmost use of data obtained from experiments on the hull of what was to have been the superdreadnaught Washington and on other scrapped vessels in preparing designs for new ships. They are expected to achieve a decided advance in warship construction as a result of their prolonged studies. as a result of their prolonged studies. The Washington experiments, details of which are regarded as among the most confidential matters in the custody of the Navy department, afforded an opportunity to obtain information of an unusual character. The four ships of this class, three of which were completed and are now with the fleet, represent the most powerful defensive and offensive development in battleship building the world all know until the two new British superreadnaughts are launched and commissioned. The only vessel approaching the Maryland, West Virginia and Colorado now affloat is the Japanese 16-inch舰, post-Jutland battleship Mitsu- The submarine menace had almost reached its climax in threatening allied defeat before the plans were completed, and there are many things in the hull construction of the ships which grew out of war experience of the allies as observed by American experts. These have to do for the most part with better protection against torpedoes and mines and the experiments with the Washington hull afforded the only chance naval engineers of any nationality have had to test the methods of protection adopted on a scale that would furnish reliable data. Coast Railway Explains Significance of Toots Los Angeles.—The mysteries of the language of railroad engines, as spoken through the engineer's whistle, have been revealed by the Southern Pacific company in an announcement for the benefit of the general public. The significance of his whistle is explained as follows; four blasts, two of medium length and two short, are a warning that a locomotive is approaching a grade crossing. A succession of short blasts tells trespassers to get off the track. Four or five blasts of medium duration recall the flagman. Four short whistles is the engineer's way of asking for train order signal. Two short whistles mean "Thank you" or "I get you." One whistle of medium duration, followed by two short blasts, calls attention to signals displayed for a following section. One long blast is given when train is approaching a station, drawbridge or junction. Two short blasts given three times are a signal to the trainmen that the air brakes are sticking. New York.-About 1,000,000 new bathtubs were made in the year 1924. Since for the average bath in a tub between 40 and 60 gallons of water are used, the tide of soapsuds rises high. And it is at its flood on Saturday nights. This is proven by accurate measure of the additional amount of gas consumed in the cities to heat the water to between 140 to 150 degrees. It requires from two to three cubic feet of gas to raise a gallon of water 100 degrees. The per capita consumption of water in American cities is 200 to 300 per cent greater than in European cities, and on Saturday nights this percentage is doubled. The ordinary householder in this country uses about 7,500 gallons of water a month. Representatives of the largest soap producers in this country assert that every family (averaging 4.4 persons) in the United States consumes at least 80 pounds of soaps during the year. Fish Are Shoveled From Kelso, Wash.—Smelt started running into the Cowlitz river from the Columbia recently. Catching these miniature fish is now the event of the winter, farmers shoveling them up by the scoopful, filling barrels and boxes; women using lace curtain nets at the end of portiere poles; boys and girls with father's auto cover for a seine and the professional fisher with his linen thread nets. These fish, about seven to nine inches long, run in schools, often filling the river from bank to bank. They are en route upstream to spawn after which the smelt return to the ocean and, like the fur seal, spend a long period far from human eyes. The food value of the smelt is what makes it so attractive, being canned in glass jars, pickled in spices, salted and dried.

Washington, D.C.—"What are Tacna and Arica—besides a controversy" The question arises because a decision is pending on whether or not a plebiscite is to be held in Tacna—a question that has hung fire since the "nitrate war" of 1883. The National Geographic society says: "Tacna, at present, is the northernmost province of elongated Chile and has an area about equal to that of Massachusetts. Tacna also is a city, the capital of the province of Tacna, whose 14,000 people comprise half the population of the province. "Arica, the port of Tacna, once was a thriving city of some 30,000 people. Then it shipped out important products—ores, alpaca, wool, barks, and chinchilla skins. Today it has fewer than 5,000 residents and is important principally as the salt water terminus of the railroad that cuts across the lower Andes from La Paz, Bolivia. Another railway runs to Valparaiso, 987 miles to the south, not a long trip in a country of magnificent longitudinal distances. "The term, Arica, as a regional designation has disappeared from the map; the province which bore that name has been merged with Tacna. "Volumes have been written about the Tacna-Arica controversy—a controversy that had its historic origin exactly 100 years ago when the Republic of Bolivia was born. "A glance at a map will show the geography of the dispute. Tacna is Bolivia's closed corridor to the sea and it is the Alsace-Lorraine of Chile and Paris." Rise in Lonely Grandeur. "Tacna is mountainous, but that easy description gives a false picture. The Andes do not project a series of ranges into the province, but extend a plateaulike cordillera, with solitary peaks rising here and there in majestic grandeur. Once their crests were volcanic caldrons, now in their old age they wear their graceful caps of snow. "These older mountains contribute wisdom, as well as dignity, to the scattered children of the valleys. In the irrigated districts of Tacna sunset is the time fixed for transferring the water from one section to another. But in a valley, below the sharp rise of the inclosing hills, the instant of sunset may occur earlier at the western end of the valley. "After the sun has set in the lowlands it continues for some time to light up the snow-clad mountain peaks. Therefore the ancient agriculturists agreed that sunset occurred when the sun cessed to illuminate the snow-crowned mountains. And, to this day, the farmer folk of Tacna look to their mountains for the benign good-night signal. "The Sama river is the northern boundary of Tacna and the Sama valley yields grapes which have made the name of Moquegna, the bordering Peruvian province, famous among connoisseurs; and helped swell the world's rain output to the point where the distributors began to inquire whether you had your iron today. "And now that science has traced goitre to the absence of the tiny regulatory quantities of iodine your system needs, certain American cities call upon the Chilean littoral for iodine, dump it in their municipal reservoirs, and perform another modern miracle of preventive medicine. "Nitrate of soda is virtually a Chile monopoly and many of the tiny plants occur in Tarapaca, along Tacna's southern border. Whether the world uses swords or plowshares, Chile's nitrates have a ready market—they enrich the soil and they help make explosives. "Iodine is a by-product of extracting nitrates from the caliche rock. The nitrate establishments limit their production to every sixth year so the market may not be overstocked. Provides Drug Store Supplies. "Tacna yields sulphur and borax. There, also, is grown the coca plant, source of cocaine, which thousands who have had the toothache call blessed. This plant has peculiar leaves. The upper surface, deep green, smooth and velvety, is unlike the under side, which is light green with a band of paler color on each side of the midrith. "Tacna and its northern and southern neighbors not only comprise one of nature's greatest wholesale drug warehouses, but it was from Machu Plechu, the ancient city of the Incas to the north, in Peru, that the world's greatest grocery staple, the potato, originated. This seat of a marvellous agricultural system was explored by a National Geographic society expedition led by Hiram Bingham, now United States senator from Connecticut." Saint Remy de Provence, France.— Lieutenant Thoret, the French aviator, carrying a passenger in a regular army airplane with the propeller locked and sealed, remained aloft 2 hours and 26 minutes. This breaks the record for motor- less flight with a passenger, esti- blished by Lieutenant Thoret at Biskra. Algeria, last year, by more than one hour.
