Advancement Association Scores Another Big Victory LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy Advance PLAYGROUNDS REDUCE JUVENILE WAYWARDNESS Colored Americans Enjoyed Health- Giving Recreation In Nearly Two Hundred Centers Last Year CITIES RECOGNIZING VALUE New York, April 17. — Colored Americans last year enjoyed health-giving play in 179 public recreation centers and playgrounds maintained for their exclusive use, according to the Year Book of the Playground and Recreation Association of America, just issued. More and more cities are realizing that their Negro citizens can get no recreation except the expensive and often degrading commercialized kind, states the Association, and so they are providing in colored neighborhoods play leaders and facilities for wholesome good times. Outdoor playgrounds for colored children numbered 133 during 1924, reports from 58 cities indicate. Five of these playgrounds were opened last year for the first time. Twenty-two cities stated the average number of colored children who daily enjoyed these grounds, and the total is 14,339. Nine cities reported the total valuation of their playgrounds for colored children to be $112,000. Social evenings, athletics, music and dramatics were among the activities furnished for colored citizens, both grown-ups and children, by 46 indoor recreation centers in 37 cities, says the Year Book. The total value of these centers in five cities was reported at $97,000. Playgrounds Reduce Delinquency From Columbus, Ga., which last year opened a playground for colored children, comes this report, "The playground has more than justified its expense, if for no other reason than that juvenile delinquency among colored boys has been cut down materially. Of course its greatest benefit has been in providing supervised recreation for hundreds of colored children who had never known what a playground meant." The Columbus playground was made possible by a playground committee organized among the colored people of the city. They secured the use of six acres of land and raised the funds to equip it. The city Playground Board supervised the layout of the playground and furnished a paid leader. Orangeburg, S. C., has recently made a beginning in the establishment of recreation parks where colored people may meet and enjoy outdoor activities. The first such park has an artificial lake, five sunken gardens, and a neat little administration building. Several rustic bridges have been built over the stream that crosses the grounds and the grove affords shade all day. Colored people of the city have given personal labor toward the development of the park. National Bureau Assists Cities credit much of their expansion in providing recreation for colored people to the aid of the Bureau of Colored Work of the Playground and Recreation Association of America. In 1924 this Bureau gave personal service to forty cities and help by correspondence to ninety additional cities in meeting the play and recreation problems of their colored citizens. DENVTR CONFERENCE OF N. A. A. C. P. TO VISIT COLORADO SCENES Delegates and visitors to the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Denver, Colorado, this June, will have an opportunity of seeing some of the finest scenery of the Rocky Mountains. George W. Gross, president of the Denver N. A. A. C. P. writes that the Colorado Springs outing, to be tendered delegates and visitors on June 27, will include not only a free barbecue in the Garden of the Gods, but a motor trip taking in Manitou, Ute Pass, North Cheyenne Canon and Broadmoor. The scenery along this route includes high mountains, glaciers, deep canons, fields of wild flowers up to the "snow line" of the mountains, and innumerable streams. For those delegates who wish to remain in Colorado after the close of the N. A. A. C. P. conference, the railroads offer easy access to vacation points in Rocky Mountain National Park and other points of interest.

NEGRO TEACHER OF SEVERAL LANGUAGES DIES IN GERMANY Karl Frazier, Native of New Orleans But Resident of Berlin for Two Years, Found Dead in His Room. DOG WATCHES BY BEDSIDE (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Berlin, Germany, April 16.—Professor Karl Frazier, regarded by the German people as a "mystery man," a native of New Orleans, La., who was a teacher of twelve languages here, was found dead in his room recently. The police say that when they entered the room crouched by the side of his dead master was his famous dog, named Passa, watching at the bedside. The German authorities believe that Frazier died three or four days ago of gas poisoning caused from a leak in a gas pipe. When the rumor spread that Frazier was dead children and students of the entire section of West Berlin flocked to the house. None of the neighbors knew much about his life, except that he was a quiet, studious and highly respected man. He has been here for two years teaching students. Many German people marveled to see a Negro who could fluently converse in more than a score of languages. The body was taken to the morgue and was released Friday for a funeral arranged from the American consulate. Professor Frazier's widow, it is said, was afraid to accompany her husband to Germany, and is living in New Orleans, La. New York, April 17.—The U. S. Department of Labor has dismissed from its service Dr. A. W. Plecker of Richmond, Va., concerning whose anti-Negro pamphlets distributed at the expense of the government, complaint was made to Washington by National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The N. A. A. C. P. has received a letter from Arthur E. Cook, assistant to the Secretary of Labor, confirming the dismissal. NEBRASKA'S WEEKLY NEWSPAPER DEVOTED TO THE INTERESTS OF COLORED AMERICANS THE REV. JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS, Editor OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1925 West Virginia Supreme Court Puts Ban on "Birth of a Nation" Along the Concrete THIS MONUMENT DEDICATED TO CARELESSNESS (Copyright, W. N. W.) New York, April 17—Colored citizens of Charleston and of the state of West Virginia have won a great victory before the State Supreme Court which has decided that "The Birth of a Nation" shall not be exhibited in the Rialto Theatre in Charleston. The picture was to be shown on April 1 to 4, and the city had been flooded with advertisements. Thursday afternoon, March 26, T. G. Nutter, president of the Charleston branch of the N. A. A. C. P., together with W. W. Sanders, vice-president of the N. A. A. C. P. branch and state supervisor of Negro schools; Capt. G. E. Ferguson, hotel proprietor and former member of the N. A. A. C. P. branch executive committee, called on Mayor W. W. Wertz. The delegation protested against the film being shown in violation of a special law which colored leaders put through the legislature in 1919, expressly to prohibit this film. Mr. Nutter informed Mayor Wertz he had power to prevent the showing under that statute as well as by exercise of the police power of the city. The mayor after consultation with the city solicitor notified the theatre management that "The Birth of a Nation" should not be shown and that if attempt were made to show it, he would confiscate the film and arrest the manager and all the employees of the theatre, also any owner of the film who might be in Charleston. The mayor asked Attorney T. G. Nutter to prepare the necessary affidavits describing the film and showing violation of the law. Thereupon the management asked for a committee of colored citizens to view the picture to see if objectionable portions could be cut out. Through Mr. BISHOP A. J. CAREY GETS $150,000 APPROPRIATION Kansas City, Kan., April 17.—(Special.) The legislature of the state of Kansas has passed the bill calling for the appropriation of $150,000 for Western University, which is located at Quindaro, Kans., a suburb of Kansas City. A delegation of ministers of the A. M. E. Church, headed by Bishop A. J. Carey of the fifth episcopal district in which the Western University is located, went before the committee on appropriations and urged upon them the need of a substantial sum for the maintenance of this university. After much deliberation the committee recommended the sum asked for, which was finally passed by both branches of the assembly. Western University is one of the leading schools of the A. M. E. Church and is located in the heart of the great agricultural west. In connection with it are the State Normal and Industrial Departments. Recently Western University sustained a severe loss in the destruction by fire of Ward Hall, which was the main building of the school group. Already, however, this building has been rebuilt at a cost of $200,000. But the $150,000 just National Advancement Association Scores Another Victory In Fight Against Anti-Racial Propaganda MAYOR TAKES FIRM STAND President Nutter of Local Branch Tells How the Campaign Against Film Was Nutter 30 colored people appeared but declined to reach any agreement other than withdrawal of the film. The management held up the film long enough to apply to the Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Kanawa county for an injunction restraining Mayor Wertz and Chief of Police John Britton from interfering with the film. Judge Owen granted a temporary injunction and the picture was shown twice that day. Appeal to the Circuit Court the next day resulted in dissolution of the injunction and the picture was not shown that day. The following day, Friday, April 3, the theatre people applied to the Supreme Court of Appeals for an appeal and supersedeas from the order dissolving the injunction. The Virginia Amusement Co., in its petition set forth that the mayor's threat to arrest all the theatre employees and to seize film and projection apparatus would be confiscation of property without due process of law. The mayor replied that nothing would be done to interfere with the production until the scene was reached where "a white girl is chased by a Negro from a spring and she jumps from a precipice; the moment that appropriated was urgently needed for maintenance, teachers' salaries and upkeep. BASE BALL The Western League baseball season for 1925 was opened yesterday in Oklahoma City with the champion Omaha club as visitors, results of the game were not available at press time. The season's home play will open here on Wednesday, April 29th, with Tulsa as the visiting club. Great plans are being made for a real welcome to the champs on their return here. Full details of the opening day ceremonies will be given next issue. Secretary Reis, however, declares that fans may expect an innovation in the old stereotyped plans of opening festivities. Mr. Reis also announces the plans are being made for the Kansas City Monarchs to play here on the off Sunday against all star colored teams from over the country. Only the strongest colored teams will play against the Monarchs. part of the picture was reached warrants would be served and film and machine would be taken as evidence." The judge held warrants could be served and arrests made but film and machine could not be seized and issued a sweeping injunction prohibiting the mayor and the police chief from interfering with the showing of "The Birth of a Nation." This injunction was dissolved by the Circuit Court Judge on the ground that "city authorities had a right to make the arrest under proper warrants charging that a crime had been committed and to seize the film, machine and other paraphernalia used in the production of the picture as evidence of the crime." This decision was unanimously sustained by the State Supreme Court. Mr. Nutter, who assisted the city officials throughout the fight, writes: "The fight made by Mayor W. W. Wertz and City Solicitor, Ex-Judge H. D. Rumminel, stands unparalleled in the history of the state. They made it a personal affair transcending mere official duty. Mayor Wertz was with the committee that witnessed the picture Tuesday evening and as soon as it was over, rushed to the manager of the Rialto without consulting the committee and said: "It is the worst thing I ever saw, and I cannot understand why any law abiding citizen should bring such a picture to Charleston. It will not be shown so long as I am mayor of Charleston.'" Mr. Nutter states that in the fight he had the support of the entire colored citizenship of the city. The N. A. A. C. P. has extended congratulations to Mr. Nutter and is writing letters of appreciation to Mayor Wertz and City Solicitor Rummnoi. LADIES' BAND ENTERTAINS Prof. Waddle, Pioneer Bandmaster Presents a Ladies' Band of Forty Pieces at Grove M. E. Church. Last Monday evening at Grove M. E. church, 22nd and Seward streets, Prof. Waddle, pioneer bandmaster, presented a band of forty ladies. The band held a fairly sized audience of music lovers spell-bound throughout a well arranged program for more than one and one-half hours. Although filling a major space on the program, the entire band did not entertain through the whole program. There was a cornet solo by Miss B. Brown; a well rendered vocal solo by Mr. Carter; violin solo by Miss K. Brown; cornet duet, Misses Warmeta and Smith; cornet solo, Miss Margaret Murray; remarks by Mr. W. H. Hall and Rev. J. H.

SALEM BAPSTEH CHURCH CELERIBRATES 3nd ANIVERSARY Salem Baptist Church, located at 1811 North Twenty-third street, has been celebrating its third anniversary of the church and its pastor, Rev. J. S. Williams. The observance began April 6 and closed April 13. The church was attractively decorated with Easter colors, purple and white, flowers, Easter lilies, birds and a beautiful background. The services each night during the week were very successful with visiting churches largely represented. Sunday, being Easter, was a great day. At 5:30 a. m. the pastor preached on "The Resurrection" and at that early hour the church was crowded. Just before the Rev. J. S. Williams began his sermon, three veiled women, imperonating the three Marys visiting the tomb, entered and gave an impressive and dramatic setting to the sermon. Mr. H. L. Anderson of Zion Baptist church visited and addressed the Sunday school at 10:30. The Rev. S. S. Farley of Lincoln, preached at 11, and the anniversary sermon was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Botts, pastor of Zion at 3 o'clock, and his choir rendered the music. Salem was organized April 9, 1922. Judge A. L. Sutton addressed the B. Y. P. U. at 6 'clock. He also brought candy for the Sunday school children and remained to their program which began at 7:30. The church was crowded and many turned away. Monday night a banquet was given by the church to its pastor, visiting friends and members. It was served in the church dining room appropriately decorated for the occasion. Over 100 persons were served. The guests of honor included Rev. and Mrs. J. S. Williams, the Rev. and Mrs. W. F. Botts, the Rev. and Mrs. J. H. Young, the Rev. and Mrs. James Crowder, the Rev. Messrs. Derdon, McQueen and I. M. Coggs, Mr. and Mrs. N. A. Perkins, Mr. H. L. Anderson and Dr. Wesley Jones. In the State of Deleware, colored men are not permitted to serve as jurors. COWARDLY KLUXERS BRAND FOREHEAD OFNEGRO CITIZEN COWARDLY KLUXERS BRAND FOREHEAD OFNEGRO CITIZEN Prosperous Merchant of Plymouth, N. C., Victim of Mistreatment for the Atrocious Crime of Being a "Smart Nigger" WAS FIRST FINED AND FLOGGED Plymouth, N. C., April 17.—The Ku Klux Klan scored what the members of that hooded band called a "Ten Stripe" when they branded the forehead and cheeks of a Negro with the letters "K. K. K." The victim, Robert H. Taylor, a local merchant, has left the community for parts unknown to the public. The reports, however, have it that he is at Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C., undergoing treatment, in an effort to remove the K. K. K. letters from his cheeks and face, which were engraved with acid. From the best information at hand, the charge against Taylor was that he is a "smart nigger." Indirect charge against him is, he tried to pass for white. Just before he was kidnapped, flogged and branded, he was fined five dollars in a Kangaroo Court, where he was charged with resisting an officer. On leaving the court room, Taylor was met at the door by a hooded band, who forced him into a waiting auto, took him to a lonely spot about ten miles out of the city, where he was beaten mercilessly, branded on each cheek and the forehead with "K. K. K." and told to "beat it." Members of the Ku Klux Klan are well known in the community, but all deny any knowledge of what happened to Taylor. Nothing has been done to molest his wife or mother, who are still here. But it is understood that they are planning to leave as soon as possible. MME. E. H.

WORK ON BUILDING PROGRAM An institution which plays a large part in the advancement and development of the Negro people in Southeast Arkansas is the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal school, which is a branch of the University of Arkansas nd is located in Pine Bluff. Kansas and is located in Pine Bluff. This school has been in operation since April, 1875, and although starting in a small way, its work has been of such practical character and its supervision so efficient that today the school occupies a tract of twenty acres of ground in the western suburbs of Pine Bluff, upon which have been erected buildings supplying administration offices, class rooms, and mechanical shops. University Board The government of this school is vested primarily in the board of trustees of the University of Arkansas and the superintendent is the administrative head of the school, under whom there are department directors, each responsible for the development and efficient management of his particular department. The work of the school is divided into many departments, among which are the preparatory department, normal department, mechanical industries department, business training department, scientific course, tailoring division, home economics, agricultural, blacksmithing and wheelwrighting, carpentry, vocational training and music. Co-Educational The school is co-educational and the social and moral welfare of the pupils is carefully safe-guarded. There is connected with the school a branch of the Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. and weekly meetings for Bible study are held regularly and are widely attended. The school is strictly undenominational and no doctrine or creed is taught, however, daily the students are assembled together with the faculty for devotional exercises and attendance upon these exercises is compulsory. Just recently the school acquired a farm site of thirty acres and agricultural experts of the University of Arkansas are now at work upon a cropping plan for the development of this farm. Building Program Experts are also at work upon a fifty year building program in connection with the farm with reference to the proper types, sizes and locations of buildings, also the proper equipment for same. The power line of the Arkansas Light and Power Company from the Remmel Dam station crosses the farm and it is possible that this power may be utilized to operate the machinery necessary in the work of the farm. Pure bred live stock, poultry, etc., is being procured and will be added to as rapidly as possible until the farm is ruiny stocked. More than 500 students are enrolled in the Agricultural, Mechanical and Normal school this term. The summer term begins in June. R. E. Malone is superintendent of the school.-Pine Bluff Commercial. $10,000 ORGAN DEDICATED Washington, D. C., April 17.—The $10,000 pipe organ was dedicated last week at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, this city. Rev. C. E. Stewart, D. D., pastor, is a talented musician, and it was his love for music that inspired the church to gladly invest in this one of the largest and best organs owned by anp church in America, and the "largest in any Negro church." "This organ," says Dr. Stewart, "is not built in its constructive details by a colored man, but the outline, supervision, plan and scope of the instrument are the result of the labors of a colored man." Prof. Wm. C. Braxton is organist and has been for over thirty years, and Prof. J. Henry Lewis is chorister. Bishop J. A. Johnson of Philadelphia and others joined in the dedication exercises. MRS. C.

THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBUTION NOT NEGLIGIBLE 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 hibernations of this land. Finally the Negro has played a popular 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 Feet."

We venture the guess that some day they may become brave enough to throw off their pillow slips and disclose their faces. Such a thing is possible, but hardly probable. In the meantime we urge our people to take no chances whatsoever with anyone upon whom suspicion of belonging to the hooded order rests. They are doing everything in their power to hinder our progress as a people in the industrial, educational and political fields. In the north and west their method is that of propaganda. In other sections they resort to personal violence. Our safety lies in building up a strong counter movement like the N. A. A. C. P., which fights fairly with legal means in the open for justice to all men and aligning ourselves with the other groups and forces which the cowardly triple K is opposing. Negroes are normally and largely Protestants and have been suspicious of Roman Catholicism. Will they maintain this attitude with protestantism encouraging, aiding, abetting and supporting the Ku Klux Klan? Not unless their reason becomes dethroned. Negroes are normally pacific and not belligerent. Will they remain so while the tide of hostility rises against them? These questions are forcing themselves to the fore by secret, subtle but thinly-disguised activity of the K-night, K-shirt, K-cowards. FOR A MORE BEAUTIFUL OMAHA WE are for a more beautiful Omaha and offer as a suggestion that our influential citizens who are active in the campaign for this worthy cause see to it that some of the unsightly, painless shacks which rent profiters rent at exorbitant prices to Negro tenants be torn down or painted and improved. Omaha boasts of no slums but she has no reason to be proud of shacks little better than pigstytes for which landlords are permitted to charge exorbitant rents. Get busy, tear down shacks and build small and comfortable homes that will make for thrift and self-respect. LUTHER KOUNTZE WHEN Luther L.

WEEK'S EDITORIAL Results of Your Dollar and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People If you spend money for shoes, you get a pair of shoes. If you buy a house, you get the house and you can feel the bricks. If you spend a dollar for beefsteak, your sense of taste makes you satisfied with the expenditure. And even if you buy stock, you get a prettily decorated stock certificate, which may or may not mean anything, but at least pleases the eye. But when you put a dollar into an organization like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, neither the sense of touch, sight nor taste is satisfied. Your dollar leaves you, and if you expect a material return from it, you will be disappointed. The only persons who are satisfied with the expenditures are those who are endowed with a sixth snse, who can feel within themselves a keen sense of pleasure at having done a small bit toward freeing a race from shackles of prejudice, who can spend today and feel a pleasure in spending money which will make conditions better for generations yet unborn, who can anticipate the moment when black brothers and sisters will not live in dread of the lyncher's rope and when black citizens may hold up their heads as full-fledged and respected citizens of a great nation. Those are the results you are purchasing with your dollar. They are human rights which you can not eat, feel or see, but they are so essential to happiness and to progress that nowhere can a dollar be better spent. They are purchases which some will disdain to make, but thank God there are Colored men and women endowed with this sixth sense who are making the N. A. A. C. P. respected and feared, and who are hastening every day the evolution of a nation unhandicapped by prejudice, unweakened by race degradation, unashamed by unrequited murders of human beings. —Washington Daily American.

Each act carried a picture of real life and was intensely interesting from start to finish, full of amusement and laughter. All present left feeling that Mrs. Wilkinson was a real artist in production and rendition. The recital of "Nydia, Blind Girl of Pompei" was a master piece and deserves much praise.

PAGE FOUR OPERATION MAKES "TOMBOY" NORMAL Disorder of Ductless Glands Found to Be Cause. Washington.—How a beautiful girl took on masculine characteristics as a result of a disorder of her ductless glands and then had her feminine traits restored by surgery was described here by Dr. John J. Abel, professor at Johns Hopkins university at Baltimore. Until the girl was twenty-four her family and the most eminent physicians of England were mystified by her strange masculine traits. It was then discovered that she was suffering from a tumor on one of her adrenal glands. When the tumor was removed by a delicate operation, the girl's feminine traits began to reappear within thirty-six days. In three years she had changed back again to a normal woman. The adrenal glands, it was explained, are a pair of small ductless bodies of unknown function. In a paper called "Some Recent Advances in Our Knowledge of the Ductless Glands," Doctor Abel discussed why a stimulus of the adrenal glands will shoot substance into the blood that will make one's hair stand on end. Some scientific investigators, he said, contend that this substance mobilizes the sugar in the human system to furnish extra energy in time of danger for light or flight. Excessive secretions in the pituitary gland, a two-lobed, ductless gland forming an integral part of the brain, may result in a complete change in one's appearance within a dozen years by producing large hands or feet or large features, the doctor said. A shortage of the same secretions, he said, makes men fat. Tell Time to Iowans Albany.—The tower clock which was awarded first prize at the Centennial exposition at Philadelphia in 1876 has found a permanent home in the new campanile being erected on the campus of the State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls, Iowa. The clock, built by the late Charles Fasoldt of this city, has been in the possession of the Fasoldt family until the present time. A few weeks ago Dudley Fasoldt, grandson of the builder and owner of the timepiece, announced he would give it to the institution offering the best home and care for it. More than 1,000 applications were received within a week after Mr. Fasoldt's offer had been published. They came from churches, colleges, municipalities and commercial organizations. Officials of the State Teachers' college at Cedar Falls have guaranteed that the clock will have the best of care by the institution's own mechanics and electricians. The campanile in which it is to be installed is located on high ground, and the dial will be visible for miles The clock, in its half century of existence, has shown a maximum variation of less than ten seconds a year from solar time. Cash Diverted From Bier Stockholm—Happy homes for the living instead of flowers for the dead is the aim of the Swedish "Flower Fund" drive that has just scored its first signal triumph in the laying of the cornerstone of a large building designed exclusively for the aged and infirm, who otherwise might have to end their days in the poorhouse. The idea of such a fund was launched about four years ago by Miss Alma Hedin, sister of Sven Hedin, the explorer, and now, thanks to many small contributions in lieu of floral tributes at funerals, enough money has been procured to guarantee the financing of the first building. Others will be started later. Rays Emanated by Eyes Show Electric Pow London.—There is a definite natural force emanating from the human eye with which it is possible to set a minute electrical engine in motion, according to the startling discovery of the English scientist, Doctor Russ. Doctor Russ, after ten years of experimenting in this field, has just discovered amazing proof that the human eye gives off a magnetic ray powerful enough to affect a tiny instrument and keep it running by merely staring at it. --- Death Ends Dog's Long Vigil at Master's Tomb Lancaster, Ohio—Death has ended the long vigil of Nero, a dog who died on his master's grave in a lonely cemetery here. His owner, Charles Farmer, was shot to death last July in a gun fight with prohibition officers. Nero followed the funeral procession to the cemetery, where he kept watch daily, leaving the grave at short intervals for food. All efforts to coax the dog away failed. A boulder now marks the grave of Nero. Ministers in their sermons referred, just as they have in the past six months, to the love and devotion of Nero for his master.

For bright and powerful is your spark To guide the pedestrians in the dark, For shine it must as a beacon light, Along the narrow path of truth and right. As a final remark, we can but say: "Oh Lord! Thy blessings heap on Dr. Day, That he may lead us from all wrong With M. Moriah in pray'r and song." (Adv.) —By Lonzetta Biddieux. The Waiters' Association held their regular meeting Monday night at their club rooms, 2427 Lake street, with President Devereaux in the chair. Business of great importance to the organization was transacted. Duke Anderson, Raymond Davis, R. B. Hill of the Fontenelle Hotel are staund members of the Waiters' Association. At the last meeting of the Waiters' Association of Omaha the following resolution was adopted: "In the death of Mr. Luther Kountze, a distinguished citizen who has gone to his reward, we realize that we have lost a staunch friend and well wiser. We, the members of the Waiters' Association of Omaha, shall miss his smiling countenance, good cheer and words of encouragement that came from his long experience and study of human nature. We shall no longer be privileged to enjoy the benefits of his counsel and uniting energy on all questions that have for their purpose the betterment of our association." William Johnson of Minneapolis is a member of the Waiters' Association and is very much impressed with Omaha. J. D. Johnson of the Brandeis Restaurants left last week on an extended business trip to Des Moines, Ia. He will also visit through Missouri and other southern cities. Mr. Johnson will return in about ten days to the Omaha Country club where he has spent many seasons. So twinkle, all the nights.
