New York, N. Y., Feb. 27—An nouncement was made Sunday night of a preliminary gift of 3 million dollars by Simon Guggenheim, mining magnate, and former United States senator from Colorado, to endow John Simon Guggenheim memorial foundation fellowships for advanced study abroad. The fellowships, to be awarded on a program even broader than that of the Cecil Rhodes scholarships, will be a memorial to Mr. Guggenheim's son, who died in 1922 while preparing for Harvard and later to study abroad. The announced purposes of the foundation are "to improve the quality of education, and the practice of the arts and professions in the United States to foster research, and to provide for the cause of better international understanding." Open to Everyone. The Guggenheim scholarships will be open to men and women, married or single, of every race, color and creed. Any subject may be studied in any country in the world. There are no age limits, although since the scholarships are intended for those who have shown marked ability in their particular subject, it is expected that most appointees will be between 25 and 35 years old. The principal obligation for those receiving fellowships will be that they shall produce contributions to knowledge in their special subjects, and that they shall make the results of their studies publicly available. Only candidates of exceptional aptitude for research, or who have undertaken an important piece of work, or who have demonstrated ability in one of the fine arts will be appointed. The first fellowships will be awarded for the academic year 1926-1927. Each scholar will receive about $2,500 a year. Larger or smaller sums, and longer or shorter appointments than one year may be granted in individual cases. After the first year it is expected that forty to fifty scholars will be appointed annually. Wants to Help "We all realize," Mr. Guggenheim said in a statement, "that some of the finest minds, some of the most conservative thinkers in the world have been seriously hampered in turning their natural gifts to the best advantage by the lack of adequate financial backing. I want to do my part to meet this need." ADVANCEMENT ASSOCIATION AS USUAL GETS RESULTS Hospitalization Is Secured For Sick Veteran Refused Entry On Account of His Color New York. Feb. 27—Telegrams and letters have been exchanged by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored people, and the Veteran's Bureau in Washington, over the case of Thomas Albert White, colored war veteran, denied accommodation in government hospitals because of his color. The outcome of the correspondence is that the Veteran's Bureau has ordered the prompt hospitalization of the colored soldier and has demanded a full report on the situation. The N. A. A. C. P. telegram read: "Thomas Albert White, of 351st Artillery, was sent by Veteran's Bureau of Pittsburg on December 28, 1924, to United States Hospital at Dawson Springs, Ky., accompanied by a white nurse. After reaching Kentucky he was separated from his nurse and forced to ride in a Jim Crow car. "Upon reaching Dawson Springs, White was told that no Negro soldiers were not allowed there and was immediately sent back to Pittsburg. White asked Congressman Clyde Kelly to get him admitted to United States Hospital at Beacon, N. P., but was informed that colored soldiers were not admitted here. Consequently he is at home and is failing rapidly. THE MONITOR NEGRO NEGRO TEL MEN ORGANIZE Washington, D. C., Feb. 27, (By The Associated Negro Press)—Responding to the call of Joseph I. Greenlee, proprietor of the New Liberty Hotel, the owners of 23 colored hotels of the country assembled in his hotel on February 10, and organized the National Hotel Managers' Association. Eight other hotel managers declared their willingness to join by letter authorizing the use of their names, and their willingness to abide by the constitution to be adopted by those present. Joseph Greenlee opened the meeting with a brief speech outlining the purpose sought. His talk included mention of co-operation, advertising, improved service, cultivation of the traveling public of the race, and the need of a united effort toward a higher sanitary standard for rhe hotels catering to the colored trade. LINCOLN'S ONLY SON OLD AND ILL IN WASHINGTON. Washington, Feb. 12 (U. P.)—Abraham Lincoln's son, Robert Todd Lincoln, now in his eighty-second year, is failing in health. The doors of the quaint old Colonial house here where he lives with his wife are closed to all except his most intimate friends, and behind them he passes his declining years in the strict seclusion prescribed by his physicians. Lincoln's major activity is corresponding with historians and publicists who write him to inquire for details of his father's life. In this he is extremely painstaking and has the aid of one of the most complete collections of books and documents on Abraham Lincoln in the world. The bearded old man, the last living link with the great emancipator, is very modest about his heritage and his own career, which included a cabinet post, four years as minister to England and high places in the business world. His mind is still very alert, and though not actively in business since his retirement in 1916, he still remains a member of the board of the Pullman company and of several Chicago banks. Mr. Lincoln has never written a life of his father and probably never will. Before he injured a leg he was an ardent golf player. Astronomy now monopolizes his spare time as his hobby. His last public appearance was at the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial in 1922. ARE CONTRIBUTORS TO CAMPAIGN FUND Washington, D. C., Feb. 27—The Borah committee, which investigated campaign contributions last fall, lists only two colored persons as having contributed $1000 or more to any of the political parties last year. They are Walter L. Cohen, comptroller of customs at New Orleans, Ia., and E. P. Booze, of Mound Bayou, Miss. Both are credited with having given $1000 each to the Republican National Committee. No colored Democrats are listed as having contributed to their party's war chest last year. Likewise no colored adherents of Robert M. LaFollette are listed with having contributed to the progressive campaign. The committee made no itemized report of contributions under $1000. DISGUISE AS NEGROES TO MAKE ROBBERY New York, N. Y., Feb. 27, (By The Associated Negro Press)—Following the tip revealed by the license number of an automobile, taken by a boy, the leader of three robbers who had entered the home of Edward Sullivan, was caught and the fact revealed that he and his confederates, is making the robbery, had disguised themselves as Negroes, through the use of burnt cork. APPEAL TO COOLIDGE Boston, Mass., Feb. 27—Meetings held throughout the State in honor of the birthdays of Lincoln and Douglass sent resolutions to Washington urging President Coolidge to put an end to segregation in government departments.

NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1925 Fifteen Hundred Miles From Washington THAT I WILL FAITHFULLY WILL EXECUTE THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES AND WILL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY PRESERVE PROTECT AND DEFEND THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATE PRESIDENTIAL INAUGURAL SERVICE (Copyright, W. N. U.) Beautiful Haiti and It's Brave Hearted People When the Republic of Hayti is mentioned, so few people seem to know where it is located or confuse it with its twin sister, the Republic of San Domingo, that a few words of geographical and historical import may not be amiss. In the year 1492, when Christopher Columbus, after a long and perilous journey, once more set foot on solid land he found himself on an island inhabited by Indians. This island, which is located at the entrance of the Gulf Stream, midway between Cuba and Jamaica, was called by the aborigines by the double name of "Haiti," or "Quisequeys," meaning respectively "Mountainous Country" or "Big Land." Five chieftains governed the island under the title of Kacik, the indian word for king. King Guacanagario governed the Marlen in the Northwest; King Guarionex ruled the Maguain in the Northeast; Kings Cotubanama and Bohechio presided over the Higuey and Xaragua, situated in the Southeast and Southwest, respectively; and, most impressive figure of all, the Haytian Caonabo, first defender of the Haytian soil, reigned over the Maguana amid the fastnesses of the frowning Cibao. Within seven years from the landing of the Spaniards in Hayti the native population had been reduced from an estimated million and a half souls to about 700,000. Farming and mining, the two sources that had been filling the royal coffers of Spain, were almost at a standstill. To insure the continued prosperity of the colony and contribute to that of the metropolis, slaves were imported from the coasts of Africa. Four centuries later the descendants of those slaves revolted against the joint oppression of France and Spain. Toussaint L'Ouverture, of immortal fame, led them from slavery to ST. ATHANASIUS' BASKET BALL TEAM RETURNS IN TRIUMPH On Tuesday morning, February 17, the Basketball team of St. Athanasius' School Brunswick, Georgia returned from their trip to Atlanta, Augusta and Savannah during which they played against college, high school and club teams. The last of five games was played Monday afternoon, Feb. 16, in Savannah against the Cuyler Junior High School, St. Athanasius' winning by the score, 31 to 13. The Brunswick quintet lost one game during the tour and that one to Morehouse, the Collegate Champions of the South-east. Prior to this game, persistent predictions from all sides were to the effect that Morehouse would win by a very large margin. It seemed that this prophecy would be fulfilled from the showing made by the Atlanta College's excellent fighting machine during the first half By Theodora Holly in The Negro World. emancipation; and having ejected the Spaniards and repulsed the English swore unwidely allegiance to France. When Toussaint's devotion to France was rewarded with betrayal and martyrdom, one of his former lieutenants, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, stirred up a general insurrection against French domination and on January 1, 1804, solemnly proclaimed the island of his people and forged them into a nation. The Spaniards of 1492, discarding the Indian names of Haiti and Quisqueya, had rechristened the island "Hispaniola," Little Spain. They had founded a capital, first to the north, then to the south of the island, to which they gave the name of Isabella. The former had been destroyed by Canonabo, king of the Magana; the latter was destroyed by an earthquake. Rebuilt by Nicolas Ovando, the first Spanish governor, it was rechristened Santa Domingo, in honor of Christopher Columbus's father, Domingo Colombo. The riches and magnificence of this city became such that its fame spread all over Europe and it became customary to say "Let's go to San Domingo," instead of "Let's go to Hispanola." When the political independence of the island had become an accomplished fact, Dessalines, the librator, and his lieutenants, decided in solemn conclave that, to wipe out the last vestige of foreign domination, the appellation, "Hispaniola," would be dropped and the Indian name Hayti reassumed. While the young and unfledged nation was yet exposed to the dangers attendant on premature birth, while it was still in the theoes of re-adjustment, the eastern portion of the island, comprising the city of San Domingo, recanted, invited the renewed domination of Spain, thereby imperill- which ended with Morehouse 20 and St. Athanasius' 6. The Brunswick High School rallied, however, during the second half and rang up 20 points, exactly duplicating Morehouse's scoring during the first half.

P. will meet Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock at the North Side Y. W. C. A. ing the existence of the western portion, now officially known as the Republic of Hayti. Toward the end of the first decade of Haytian independence they proceeded to establish a government of their own. But the brunt of the great insurrection, which culminated in the general freedom from foreign domination, the subsequent negotiations and the payment of indemnities fell on the people of the western or Haytian portion alone. Through the misapprehension that their retention of the name San Domingo has fostered in the minds of most people, the people of the eastern portion credited with having furnished the "San Domingo Legion" which, under Count d'Estaing, volunteered their services to the American Revolution. In reality it was the westerners, the ancestors of the present-day Haytians, who distinguished themselves at Savannah, Georgia. Those were not cringling slaves dragged thither by the will of a master, but black and white mulatto freedmen who had received a liberal education in France, and were fully conscious of their dignity as men. Such men as Alexander Petion, Beauvisa, Rigaud, Henri, Christophe; men who even then were already planning their last desperate campaign for independence, but deferred their own salvation to come to the assistance of the American Colonies because the principles for which these were fighting had awakened in their souls a response that would not be denied or ignored. Such then, is Haytie. One of two Negro Republics that share in common an island of the Caribbean Sea. Geographically, a near neighbor of the United States of America; morally, a generous, big-hearted people, as evidenced by many an instance in her national history. The local background now being roughly indicated, I will give in my next article a general outline of the Haytian woman. Twenty-second and Grant street. There will be a brief business session followed by a debate on the question which was discussed two weeks ago and aroused so much interest that it was decided to continue the discussion. The subject is "Resolved, That the Negro is taking advantage of his opportunities." The leaders of the discussion will be the Rev. J. A. Harris and Mr. Y. W. Logan. KLAN ANTI-MARRIAGE BILL STRIKES SNAG La nsing, Mich., Feb. 27—(N. A. A. C. P. Press Service)—Douglass Republican club and the N. A. A. C. P. have joined forces fighting the Klan anti-marrying bill just introduced into the Legislature. The bill provides a $100 fine and 90 days in prison when whites and blacks inter-marry. Two years ago the same bill was killed in committee. GARVEY MAY NOT SERVE FIVE YEARS Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 27, (By The Associated Negro Press)—If Garvey's prison record is good, he will have to serve no more than three years and a half according to the custom in the federal penitentiaries. He is doing as much of the work with his organization on the outside as he can. In a letter to his paper, the Negro World, recently he wrote: "The picture of me handcuffed to a white marshal broadcast from New York and reproduced in nearly every Negro newspaper in this country, cut out and hang on your walls as a silent reminder for future generations of the race's humiliation in the year 1925. "Don't be deceived, there is no justice but strength. In other words, might is right, and if you must be heard and respected, you have to accumulate nationally, in Africa, those resources that will compel unjust men to think twice before he acts." SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH BROADENS ITS WORK. Washington, D. C., Feb. 27.—The School of Public Health of Howard University in its attempt to serve in the largest possible way, has inaugurated a course of lectures for the colored social workers of Washington. The will to do this important bit of service has been stimulated by the earnest and frequent requests of this local group of workers. This is but the beginning of a larger program which the School of Public Health and Hygiene contemplates projecting. A department of social service leading to a collegiate degree was originally placed in the comprehensive plans of the School of Public Health. Unquestionably there is a need for training efficient social workers along broad lines which combine humanitarian with scientific principles, and thus is the aim of Howard University. Among the lectures are the following: Dr. A. B. Jackson, director of the School of Public Health and Hygiene; Prof. A. S. Beckham, professor of Psychology; Dr. Benjamin Karpman, professor of Psychiatry; Dr. Mary Fitch, professor of home economics; Dean Kelly Miller, dean of the Junior College; Prof. W. S. Nelson, professor of religious education; Professor Jones, professor of sociology and Miss Emily Dinwide. ESTABLISH CLUB FOR BOYS Chicago, Ill., Feb. 27, (By The Associated Negro Press)—Two colored men, Jesse Binga, banker and Oscar DePriest, real estate dealer, are listed along with six whites, as incorporators in the promotion of a club for colored boys in this city. They recently bought property which had been used as a church. It is proposed to have ready by May 1 a gymnasium, swimming pool, showers, billiard room, bowling alleys and a reading room. Other facilities including a workshop where the boys can learn trades will be added. Among the white incorporators, are Samuel Insull, and Britten I. Budd, two of the city's richest citizens. Mr. Binga and Mr. DePriest, had the highest income tax returns published of any of the city's colored residents. OVERNOR, HIGH OFFICIALS VISIT TENNESSEE SCHOOL Nashville, Tenn., Feb. 27.

GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU 03 Vol. X—No. 34 In Jail WANT INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION PUT ON SKIDS IS BELIEF Sinister Influences Alleged to be Actively Operating to Abolish Negro Industrial Commission. FRIENDS WARMLY DEFEND IT Chief Need for Its More Effective Functioning Is Much Larger Appropriation and Support. Jefferson City, Feb. 27—Sinister influences are at work among some of the colored citizens of the state, it is said, to have the Negro Industrial Commission abolished. It is thought by leaders of both parties that their efforts will be in vain. Neither party, it is thought, wishes to go on record as slapping the Negro at this time; the results may be far reaching at the next election. Its friends hold the commission has done exceptionally well considering the small appropriation, which was only $6,000 for the biennium. West Virginia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and other states have given their Negro Welfare boards greater support than Missouri they claim. The chief need of Missouri's Commission is greater support with adequate appropriation with which to operate. The Negro migrant is crowding into the larger cities of Missouri where housing and living conditions are neither conducive to good health nor to good good morals. This organization should have a corps of workers in St. Louis and Kansas City so that the migrants who desire could be sent immediately to the farmers of Missouri who need their help. The Negro Industrial Commission is the logical representative and chief spokesman of the Negro race in Missouri, it has gone on record from time to time as making a fight for better schools and living and working conditions for Missouri's colored citizens. The organization has assisted hundreds of colored soldiers in filling proper bonus claims, assisted widows in securing pensions, appeared before the Commission for the Blind in the interest of worthy applicants in addition thereto many homeless Negro children have been placed by this organization co-operating with the Children's Bureau of the State Board of Charities and Corrections. NEGRO COMPOSER'S MUSIC IS PLAYED BY INTERNATIONAL COMPOSERS' GUILD (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service At the second of its three concertes of the season in New York City, the International Composers' Guild, which specializes in the work of young modern musicians, played a "Fantasy for small orchestra and three women's voices," by William Still, a colored composer, 29 years old, in Mississippi. Mr. Still studied music at Oberlin University, then at the New England Conservatory and is now studying with Edgar Varese, one of the leading writers of modern music in New York. Mr. Still has orchestrated the scores for a number of successful revues, such as "Shuffle Along" and "Dixie to Broadway."

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. 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 chieftainesses 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 Boin, "The Gift of Black People."

SIMON Guggenheim has given $3,000,000, to establish scholarships for advanced studies. It is for the encouragement of scholarship. The important thing about the Guggenheim gift is its catholicity. Any one who can qualify, irrespective of race, color, creed or sex, may become beneficiary of this fund. The conditions imposed are applicable alike to all aspirants. This is as it should be. Liberal provisions are made for original research work which will doubtless yield rich results for the benefit of humanity. As members of our race have been able to qualify and take advantage of the Cecil Rhodes Scholarship fund so also will they qualship fund so also will they qualify and take advantage of the Guggenheim Fund. The donor recognizes the need for advanced and sound scholarship and has made most liberal provision for its attainment. A GOOD MEASURE REPRESENTATIVE Walter J. Johnson has introduced a bill in the State legislature which should pass. It makes provision for juvenile court officers in the cities of varying population. It permits cities of over 100,000 population to have six such officers. This is a wise provision. Omaha for example needs more juvenile court officers. Under the present limitations these cannot be secured. The Johnson bill will relieve this situation. The bill should pass. The Douglas County delegation should get behind it and put it over. This is a good measure, plain, sensible and practical and is not of a piece with some of the senseless freak measures which have been proposed. GOSPEL TRUTH CHESTER A. Franklin, the brilliant editor of the Kansas City Call, one of the outstanding publications of the country, in speaking on Advertising before the National Negro Press Association at St. Louis last week took to task certain large firms, corporations and organizations among our people who will not take paid advertising in Negro newspapers but are always anxious to have these newspapers publish columns of free publicity for the same people while their paid publicity goes elsewhere. Every community has this type. The remedy, as we see it, is to positively refuse to publish such laudatory articles except at so much per line. Mr. Franklin spoke gospel truth when he made his charge. There are certain professional men, who are so punctillious and ethical that they cannot insert a paid announcement of any character in a newspaper, but are eager to accept any complimentary boost the newspaper can be invigiled into giving them. There are organizations and business firms who want a lot of free boosting and advertising but who refuse to spend a dime THE NEGRO'S CONTRIB A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedom negligible. No element of An yet clearly woven itself into and acting as the American N explorers and helped in expl the first the foundation of the cause of the rapid growth economic importance. Modern in paid advertising in the same columns and then wonder why newspapers have difficulty in surviving. Such mooching is downright wrong. ONLY RIGHT. SOME of the stores in the North End which receive a liberal patronage of our people seem to have awakened to the fact that there is such a thing as reciprocity. Some few have begun to give employment to representatives of their largest group of patrons. That is only right. And yet are not too many of us standing in our own light by not giving more of our patronage to our own people? Building up business among our own group along all lines will not only make opening for our youth but force and multiply openings among those who have been so long willing, as is natural, to take everything and give us nothing. Are we waking up? We hope so. NO, OTHERS HAVE BEEN SLAVES No, Negroes and Africans are not the only people who have been in slavery. A child got this impression from the manner in which his teacher spoke the other day in the class room. The ancestors of practically every white group in America today were chattel slaves. There is no disgrace in the fact, little black boy, that members of your race were once slaves. It was blue-eyed Saxon slaves exposed for sale in the market of Rome that touched the heart of a great Christian missionary which resulted in the evangelization of the Saxons. Anglo-Saxons have been slaves, too, so don't be distressed, little black boy when your teacher is talking about Negro slaves. Remember that other races have been slaves, too. ADVERTISING AS A GUIDE TO SHOPPERS Important Feature of Service Rendered The Public by The Modern Newspaper Every periodical, daily or weekly, carries a certain amount of advertising. This advertising is only a link in the policy of the paper to give to its readers all the information they may desire which will in any way aid them. The firms which advertise are clean, honest and upright. They must be; for they are recommended to the readers, personally, by the editor, and no editor would wish to recommend a disreputable firm to his readers. Every firm or organization which advertises in this paper is your guide for filling your wants. Form the habit of "just looking around" to find what you want. This policy is in keeping with 20th century methods. Long ago people could afford to helter skelter in their search for necessities. Today everything must be done methodically or not at all. Read the advertisements all the time, and you surely will find just what you want by doing so. Make a list of your items from any one of the firms advertised which carries the article or service you want, get it and go home. See how much easier your shopping will be; note the amount of time and money saved. Try this plan and smile at the result. WESTERN WOMAN COMMENDS RACE SOLIDARITY IN ARK- KANSAS FIGHT Miss Alice Park of Palo Alto, California, has written a letter which has been forwarded to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 69 Fifth Avenue, New York, commending the solidarity of effort which recently brought about the release of the last victims of the Arkansas riot of 1919. Speaking of the N. A. A. C. P. victory, she writes: "I telephoned the news at once to a friend, editor of the San Jose News. Of course, I am sorry for all the long agonies of these men. But I rejoice in the evidence of solidarity in defending them all this time, and in final success. It is a lesson for all of us." LENTEN SERVICES AT ST.

THE WHATNOT COLUMN By Robert P. Edwards for the Asso- ciated Negro Press. 161. What was the Missouri Com- promise? In 1819 when a bill for the organization of the state of Missouri was taken up by Congress an amendment prohibiting the further introduction of slavery, with provisions for emancipating the future children of slaves, was offered by a member from New York. A passionate debate ensued, and the first stormy agitation of slavery questions convulsed the whole country for two years. It resulted in the famous Missouri Compromise, agreed to in March 1820, but not determined until February, 1821, by the terms of which Missouri came into the Union with no restrictions concerning slavery, but slaveholding was forbidden in all that part of the Louisiana Purchase which lies north of 36 degrees, 30 minutes, north latitude. 162. Who begun the crusade of the Abolitionists? The implacable crusade of the abolitionists against slavery was opened by William Lloyd Garrison in 1831, when he founded the Liberator at Boston, and their warfare became organized by the formation of the New England and the American anti-slavery societies in 1832 and 1833. For many years the abolitionists' agitators were few in numbers and weak in direct influence, notwithstanding the intensity of their zeal and the eloquence of their writing and speech; but they had kindled a flame and gave the country no rest till it decided whether slavery or freedom should be destroyed. 163. What is the Avery Fund? By agreement between the executors of the estate of Rev. Charles Avery, who in 1849 established the Avery Trade School for Colored Youth at Allegheh, and the trustees of the University of Pittsburgh, the fund, established in 1875, is to provide instruction for the male colored people in the United States and the British provinces of Canada. The number is not to exceed twelve at any one time and no individual can hold a scholarship longer than four years. Next Week's Whatnots 164. Was the 'Missouri Compromise' ever published? 165.

LINCOLN NEWS AND COMMENT The Faurine Club which was organized some days ago, and in the interest of Amarantei Chapter, gave its 2nd series of entertainments at the home of Mrs. Lester Holmes, 501 So. 9th St., last Friday, which was well attended and successful. Mr. Guy Wiley spent Sunday and Monday with his wife at Omaha. Mr. and Mrs. Johnson from Calif. arrived in the city, Tuesday to visit his brother, Mr. Zack Johnson. The usual services were held at Mt. Zion Baptist church, Sunday. Beginning the first Sunday in March, a series of revival meetings will be held; Rev. Hill of Missouri, will be in charge. The public is welcome to all services. Sunday was quarterly meeting at Quinn Chapel, A. M. E. church; Rev. J. C. Hicks, P. E. was present, conducted services, and gave sacrament at the morning worship. A George Washington musical and literary program was given in Mt. Zion Baptist church, Monday night, under the auspices of the Utopian Art Club which brought forth a large crowd. Mrs. Rosa Adair was mistress of ceremonies. The celebration was participated in entirely by young people with few exceptions. It comprised musicals, addresses, readings, vocal solos, duets and trios, all of which received much applause and commendations. The entire affair was a grand success. Mrs. Blossom Williams is reported much improved. Several other cases of sickness are reported bearing up fairly well. $800 IN THREE HOURS AFTER PUTTING ON GOOD LUCK RING Marylinne Weber, famous stair, says, "I made $800 in three hours eber, famous star, $800 in three hours after I put on cess, happiness and Chinese Good Luck Ring."

CHANGES IN MAN'S FACIAL ADORNMENT The styles in hair for men are almost as changeable as those for women. The time was when any man visiting London with hair parted other than straight down the middle was regarded as hopelessly rural, says London Answers. Also not so very many decades ago a man without a beard was hardly regarded as a man at all. This is apparently the clean-shaven age. The style is by no means new and centuries ago the Roman masters of the world were clean shaven, leaving beards and mustaches to the barbarians—the word, indeed, meaning "bearded ones." A century or so ago every Englishman was clean shaven, and only a cavalry officer or a foreigner dare appear in a mustache. The fashion changed and beards and whiskers became the correct thing for even young men, and one father, who in his will forbade his heirs to grow mustaches on the ground that they were "foreign" and, therefore immoral, found few successors. Weird writings in caves ten miles northeast of Virginia City, New. are to be studied with a view to determining whether they are the work of Indians, as heretofore supposed, or of ancient Chinese, says the New York World. Gee Ding, Chinese student at the University of Nevada, made a visit to the caves recently and expressed belief the writings are Chinese and depict a story of ancient Buddhist priests, an attempt to circumnavigate the globe and of the landing on this continent. It is legend in China, according to Gee Ding, that thousands of years back, five ships under command of Buddhist priests, set sail and never returned. Gee Ding believes it may be possible the writings were made by these people.

C. A. The purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association is to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord; to promote growth in Christian character and service; and to become a social force for the extension of the Kingdom of God. Because of the constructive program carried on by the association it earnestly seeks to co-operate in an uplifting way with the home, the school and the church. It is an association of women—a world-wide sisterhood to bring more abundant life for women all over the world. Every woman of our group should be affiliated with the North Side Branch of the Y. W. C. A. Every girl between the ages of twelve and eighteen should be a Girl Reserve member, for there is great work to be done for the coming generation. God's best gift to man is work to do, the strength to do it and the opportunity to always do it a little better than it was done before.

PAGE THREE THE MONITOR WILL GROW IF YOU WILL DO YOUR SHARE PAGE FOUR WHITE PLAGUE CURE ASSURED Specialist Says Method of Eradicating Disease Will Be Found. Washington.-The present generation will see tuberculosis cured by the ordinary physician as a result of researches now being conducted in many of the large laboratories of the medical schools and universities of the country, according to a prediction made by Dr. William Charles White, consultant in tuberculosis to the United States public health service and chairman of the National Tuberculosis association's committee on medical research. In this task of determining the cause and effect of tubercle bacillus and methods by which it may be eradicated, Doctor White's committee has enlisted the most skilled scientists, chemists and anatomists of the country, who are devoting their time to pursuing these researches in the hope of eventually mastering the white plague. "I have no doubt that the work we are carrying on in this field," Doctor White said, "to get a better understanding of the history of this bacillus in the body will see in our generation physicians able to cure by their own efforts, rather than by trusting to nature and the slow and uncertain remedy of today. "I would be foolhardy," Doctor White added, "to predict the nature of the cure in man. I feel sure, however, it will not be by vaccination. It will more likely be by something that interferes with the relation existing between the bacillus and its host, the epithelioid cell or lung cell, and the collection of these which form the tubercle. Remedy for Cattle. "In cattle I believe the process will be by vaccination and by pasteurization of food products and not, by the fearfully wasteful method of condemnation and destruction of the present time." In addition to these researches in medical laboratories, the government now is engaged in some extensive tests of the Danish sanocrysin tuberculosis cure, a combination of gold salts and serum prepared by Dr. Holgar Moligaard, professor of physiology of the Agriculture college of Copenhagen. These tests are now in progress on selected calves, undergoing the treatment at the Department of Agriculture experiment station at Bethesda, Md.; at the laboratory of the New York state health department at Ottsville, N. Y., and at the Rockefeller Laboratory for Research in Diseases of Animals at Princeton, N. J. On the success of these tests will depend whether the public health service will issue a permit to an American firm to sell and distribute the serum in this country. The greatest reliance on obtaining an absolute cure for tuberculosis is placed by government scientists and medical experts in the laboratory researches that are now in progress. Doctor White pointed out that the last 20 years of tuberculosis work have been devoted to education and prevention propaganda, and the nation has neglected the effort of endeavoring to find out more of the disease itself. Medical science, he said, now is focused on the task of determining the relation of the tubercle bacillus to the body and means by which it may be successfully eradicated. Associated with Doctor White on the National Tuberculosis association research committee are Dr. Allan Krause, associate professor of medicine of John Hopkins university, Baltimore; Dr. Paul A. Lewis of the Rockefeller Institute at Princeton, and Dr. Charles J. Hattfield, director of Phipps Institute for Tuberculosis at the University of Pennsylvania. "Tuberculosis," Doctor White said, "probably is the most difficult problem in modern medicine. While we know more of the tubercle bacillus than of any other disease germ, we know little of its parasitism, that is, of its intimate symbiotic existence within the cells of the lungs, where most of its life history is pursued. "Specific cures for disease, as we know them today, have come to us mainly along two channels; first, by revelation, often in the most unexpected places, and secondly, by the steady progress of the human mind in the laboratory. To the natives of Peru came first the knowledge of the curative value of cinchona bark, from which we obtain our quinine in the cure of malaria. Similarly to the natives of Brazil came first the knowledge that ipecac, from which we get our emetine, would cure dysentery. From the laboratory source we have salvarsan, diphtheria antitoxin, insulin, carbon tetrachloride and many others, and all are purified by means of special action of other substances." Scope of Research Work. Describing the scope of the research work now in progress Doctor White said: "First for the chemical analysis of the tubercle bacillus and its products we have enlisted the great commercial laboratories of Parke, Davis & Co. and Mulford & Co., with the best chemists of the universities of Yale and Chicago. "For the study of the reason for the curious position of tuberculosis in the body, in the tops of human lungs and the lower parts of cattle lungs, the anatomical department of the Univer- The name of Miss Helen Redd was unfortunately omitted last week from the list of guests at the Junior C. C. banquet. city of Wisconsin at Madison is engaged. "To ascertain the relation of cattle tuberculosis to human tuberculosis studies are being made in the Phipps institute of the University of Pennsylvania. "For the determination of X-ray normals the experts in the Johns Hopkins, Cincinnati and Pennsylvania universities are contributing their help. "The tubercle bacillus," Doctor White explained. "grows at the expense of the human or animal body, but in a particular cell of that body. This cell, for 40 years, has been called the epithelled. As the bacillus multiply, cells of this type multiply about them and form the tubercles, or nodes, found in affected lungs. "It is only within a year that we have known something of the origin of this cell and only within a few months that we have known how to increase or lower its number in the body. This knowledge has come by the brilliant work of two anatomists in John Hopkins university—Doctors Sabin and Cunningham. They have, during the last year, devoted all their vast knowledge of the human body to the study of the tubercle bacillus in relation to this cell. The means of modifying the cell has come from a study of three other diseases; malta fever, a disease primarily of goats but to which man is susceptible and caused by the bacillus miltenis; infectious abortion of cattle, and kalazar, a disease of man and rodents in the East. Each one of these diseases gives a different reaction in the body on the part of the cells concerned in tuberculosis. Story Told by Scars. "Even more surprising is the new research on the scar tissue by which nature cures tuberculosis. Here again is an amazing story. A biologist, perhaps the most wonderful in America, Prof. Ross Harrison of Yale, discovered the method of growing bits of embryo tissue in the test tube, which has been so fruitful in our understanding of life and death. For years he has been studying transplanting of legs, eyes and other organs of the salamander, but, as a part of his study, he found that cells in the body to move in any direction must have a support firmer than themselves, as a grapevine must have a trellis. To prove this he let spiders spin webs of finest silk within glass rings. In these he planted his tissue and the cells grew out only along the fibrils of the web. The fibrils of scar tissue have to do as well with the movements and collection of cells of a tubercle, and now Professor Harrison and one of his co-workers, Doctors Balsell, are turning their endeavors to a study of the tubercle." Further research into the epithelioid cell in the test tube, Doctor White said, may soon be undertaken by Doctor and Mrs. Lewis of the Carnegie institution, at John Hopkins university, where their wonderfully delicate methods of study in the laboratory have been so successful. -Emmet Dougherty in the New York Herald-Tribune. Measures Prosperity by the Use of Sugar Columbus, Ohio. — Sugar is the world's yardstick of prosperity, according to R. F. Taber, an Ohio State university economist. "Sugar, as much as any one product, tells how prosperous the leading nations of the world are." says Taber. "With sugar as the yardstick, the United States leads the world in prosperity and Russia is near the bottom of the list." Taber explains that although a certain amount of sugar will be used as a necessity, all sweets over a certain point are regarded as luxury. "Assuming, therefore, that the craving for sugar is proportional to the craving for other luxuries and human indulgences, we get a fairly accurate idea of a nation's prosperity from its per capita consumption of sugar." Recent statistics show that the average person in the United States eats 101 pounds of sugar every year. England stands next with a per capita consumption of 83. Germany records 53 pounds per person every year, Italy 14 and Russia 9. Six Grandmothers Corvallis, Mont.-Bert Douglas Walker, aged nine months, is the most grandmothered baby in the world, it is believed.
