COLORED MAN WINS SCHOLORSHIP PRIZE LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy COLO UNION LABOR WINS DESIRED MEASURE BY RACE SUPPORT Opposition of Colored Members in Mississippi Legislature Withdrawn on Pledge of a Fair Treatment BILL WOULD HAVE FAILED Governor Small Confers with Wright Who Demands Modification of Union's Attitude Towards Our Group (By the A. N. P.) Springfield, Ill., June 26—Support from two of the colored members of the state assembly enabled Union labor leaders to put over their anti- injunction bill when the measure passed the house with one vote to spare. As a result, labor chieftains have promised concessions to Negro workmen including the use of their influence to lower the bars against colored men which exist in a number of the labor bodies. The bill which prohibits judges from granting injunctions restraining strikers from engaging in "peaceful persuasion and peaceful picketing" in labor disputes involving terms or conditions of employment has been fought for by the labor circles for years. Observers predict that it will strengthen immeasurably labor unions in the state, while its opponents claim that it spells the death knell for the "open shop" which has been gaining ground steadily of late years. Three times the bill was up. Twice the four colored members voted solidly against it on the grounds that union labor was unfair to the colored worker. Governor Small who was committed to the bill called in Committeeman Edward H. Wright, state leader, who told him colored people were opposed to the law and explained their reasons. The governor expressed surprise that any labor union did not admit colored men freely and conferred with the labor leaders who then introduced a modified measure. Mr. Wright called a conference in the offices of the state commerce commission of which he is a member, and which was attended by Col. Frank L. Smith, representing the governor, Assemblymen William King, S. B. Turner, Warren B. Douglas and Chas Griffin, Warren B. Douglas and Victor Oleander, president and secretary of the State Federation of Labor, Representative Soderstrom and others. The labor leaders agreed to fight for the removal of all barriers to colored men. Subsequently twenty-five colored men leaders in those unions which admit men of color called on Mr. Wright to ask him to use his influence for the bill on the grounds that such support would encourage union labor which felt that colored men were opposed to it at every turn. The result of the conference was an understanding that the legislators having seen that the matter had drawn the attention of the entire state, from the governor down, and having shown labor that it no longer could practice injustices without expecting retribution on the part of the colored men in power had decided to split their votes on the issue. When the bill came up Warren B. Douglas, in a glowing speech, assailed union labor for its past attitude and then voted for the passage. Sheadrick B. "Sandbag" Turner opposed it vigorously and against it. Representatives King and Griffin divided their vote and the measure passed. It is predicted that the eyes of the colored people of the state will be turned toward every act of labor unions in the future in order to see how the effect of this magnaminity on the part of the colored members of the legislature is reflected in the attitude of the labor organizations. ATTENDING CONVENTION Sam Trice of Henderson, Tenn., is attending the national D. A. V. convention meeting this week in Omaha. Mr. Price was a member of the 807th Pioneer regiment and saw service overseas. D. A. V. PARADE In the impressive D. A.

HAMILTON FISH REPLIES TO BULLARD Lift Every Voice and Sing Lift every voice and sing Till earth and Heaven ring, Shout with the harmonies of liberty. Let our rejoicing rise High as the listening skies, Let it resound loud as the rolling seas; Sing a song full of faith that the dark past has taught us; Sing a song full of hope which the present has brought us; Facing the rising sun Of our new day begun, Let us march on till victory is won. Stony the way we trod, Bitter the chastening rod Felt in the days when hope died; Yet with a steady beat Have not our weary feet Come to the place for which our fathers sighed? We have come over a way that with tears has been watered, We have come treading our path thru the blood of the slaughtered, Out from the gloomy past Till now we stand at last Where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. God of our weary years, God of our silent tears, Thou Who hast brought us thus far on our way, Thou Who hast by Thy might Led us into the light, Keep us forever in the path, we pray; Lest our feet stray from the places, our God, where we met Thee, Lest our hearts, drunk with the wine of the world, we forget Thee, Shadowed beneath Thy hand May we forever stand True to our God, true to our native land. New York, June 26.—Congressman Hamilton Fish of New York, who colored colored soldiers in France, has written a vigorous letter defending colored soldiers from the imputation of cowardice and unfitness cast by General Robert Lee Bullard in his article in the Herald-Tribune. Mr. Fish's letter, published in the Herald-Tribune, June 12th, is as follows: "I have read with amazement the story of the 92nd Negro Division by General Robert Lee Bullard, and as much as I dislike to differ with such an eminent American general, I would be derelict in my duty towards those Negro soldiers in the old Fifteenth New York who paid the supreme sacrifice, if I did not hasten to deny the glittering generalities and aspersions heaped against the Negro as a fighting man. "General Robert Lee Bullard's article shows a degree of animus against the colored soldier which is unusual from an army officer who should be familiar with deeds of heroism performed by Negro soldiers in all our wars—the 54th Massachusetts Infantry, colored, under the gallant Col. Shaw in the Civil War, the 9th Cavalry, colored, in Cuba, which rushed to the support of the Rough Riders when the fighting was hotest, and the 24th and 25th Infantry along the border and in the Phillipines. "I do not know whether General Bullard comes from the far South as his name indicates, but I do know that his indictment of the Negro soldiers to be absolutely unfair and unwarranted. I do not question the facts presented by General Bullard but differ utterly as to the conclusions. It seems to me that the responsibility for the 'profound discouragement' in the 92nd Division rests largely on General Bullard's shoulders as the provisional 93rd Division (colored) fought splendidly and had exceedingly heavy casualties. "General Bullard says of the 92nd Division, 'the general who commands them can't make them fight,' and again, 'its Division Commanding General is not a military man.' If this particular General was not up to his job why did not General Bullard replace him? Why is it that the four colored American Infantry Regiments attached to the French Army fought valiantly and that three of these regiments had their flags decorated with the Croix de Guerre for gallantry on the field of battle? No one questions the fighting abilities of the American Negro regiments loaned to the French; their heroic achievements speak for themselves. "The total casualties of these four infantry regiments which had a battle strength of approximately 10,000, or 2,500 to a regiment, were 457 killed and 3,468 wounded, or 40 per cent of Former Commander of 369th Infantr Replies to Slander of General Robert Lee Bullard of Alabama the effectives. With the exception of the First and Second Divisions, there were not many American divisions which had a higher percentage of killed and wounded. These four regiments received over 400 individual decorations for extraordinary heroism under fire, officially proving the gallant conduct of Negro troops in modern warfare. "They endured all the hardships without a murmur, slept in the cold and rain and faced death from high explosives, shrapnel, gas and machine guns with the same fortitude, loyalty and courage as the other American divisions. "The Negro troops far from being 'discouraged' were known to the French as 'les Joyeux' or the 'Happy Ones' as they carried out orders without grumbling, and made the best of the conditions with which they had to contend. "The answer is that the 92nd Division (Negro) in General Bullard's army never had a fair chance from the beginning. The men were lacking in training and the junior officers were inexperienced and not accustomed to command. Many of the soldiers were recruits who had never seen a rifle in their lives, drafted from the cotton and corn fields less than two months before being ordred to participate in a general offensive. Some of the soldiers actually went into battle without ever having fired a rifle. Unlike other divisions, they had hardly any experience in quiet sectors but owing to the need for all available troops were rushed into the September offensive. "General Bullard goes on to say that 'the Negro it seems cannot stand bombardment'. Such a statement is simply silly and shows that General Bullard does not know what he is talking about. It am quite sure that neither General Mangin nor General Gouraud of the French army both of whom commanded colored French troops ever had any such idea. General Mangin who had as much experience with colored soldiers as any general in the World War, was most outspoken in his praise and maintained that if properly trained and led, they were equal to the best troops in any army in the world for bravery and fighting qualities. "Those white officers who have served with colored troops know that if Negro soldiers are given a fair chance, carefully trained and led by experienced officers, that they make first-class fighting men. If General Bullard desires to question the efficiency and advisability of using colored officers, let him say so, but not indict the Negro soldier of cowardice which is a gross calumny against fearless soldiers who were ready and willing to lay down their lives for their country, and who if well led will go as far as any general or any white officer will lead them. "General Bullard further says 'the politics of our country had forced the formation of this Negro division contrary to experience.' Contrary to what experience and to whose experience? Since when did the United States ever have divisions containing 27,000 men before white or black? No wonder the 92nd Division never had a chance if that was the attitude of ranking generals in our army. Fortunately we have much better regular army authority than General Bullard on the conduct of American Negro troops in war. Col. James A. Moss, a graduate of West Point who served eighteen years with colored troops and commanded the 372th Infantry in France, says 'if properly trained and instructed the colored man makes as good a soldier as the world has ever seen. The history of the Negro in all of our wars including our Indian campaigns show this. He is by nature of a happy disposition, he is responsive and tractable, he is very amenable to discipline, he has faith and confidence in his leader, he possesses physical courage all of which are valuable military assets.' "General Pershing says 'I cannot commend too highly the spirit shown among the colored combat troops who exhibit fine capacity for quick training and eagerness for the most dangerous work.' "According to General Bullard's own statement the 92nd Division was under his command only a few weeks, yet he undertakes to condemn all Negro soldiers of cowardice and inefficiency because of the mishandling of the division under his command. The fact is that they were only called on to attack on November 10th and 11th along with the other units of the Second Army and accomplished about as much as any other division in that attack, one of the colored battalions being decorated for coming to the aid of some white troops which had gotten into a tight place. If the attack of the Second Army failed the blame should be placed elsewhere than in this division when the First Army succeeded in its attack in September, 1918, there might have been some reason to reproach the colored recruits but in the November offensive before Metz the blame rests largely on poor leadership as there was plenty of time to reorganize the entire outfit if it were deemed necessary. "In my judgment this unwarranted Whole Number 521 EASTERN DELEGATES TO DENVER CONFERENCE PASS THROUGH OMAHA Citizens Meet Visitors at Station— Stop Too Short for Proposed Auto Sight Seeing Ride A delegation of forty persons from New York and other eastern cities, en route to the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, now in session in Denver, arrived in Omaha Tuesday afternoon at 3:50 over the Burlington, remaining here thirty-five minutes. They were met by representatives of the local branch of the N. A. A. C. P., and several citizens, who had most generously volunteered the use of their cars for a brief sight-seeing trip. The time, however, was deemed too short for the trip. The visitors highly appreciated the hospitality shown. Through the thoughtfulness of R. L. Williams, Commissioner of the Colored Commercial Club, the visitors were supplied with souvenirs of Omaha, consisting of folders showing our sky line, facts about Omaha, the Colored Business Guide and Directory, and buttons and badges bearing the words "Omaha Next". Attorney John Adams, Harold Adams and Dr. McMillan assisted Mr. Williams in the distribution of the souvenirs. Among the Omaha citizens who met the delegates were Dr. and Mrs. D. W. Gooden, Drs. Britt, Wesley Jones, Hill, Edwards, Foster and McMillan; the Rev. and Mrs. Frederick Divers; Rev. Z. C. McGee; Rev. and Mrs. John Albert Williams, Henry W. Black, Rev. J. A. Harris, Mrs. W. W. Peebles, Mesdames Senora M. Wilkinson, T. P. Mahammitt, H. J. Pinkett, E. R. West and R. S. Williams, Messrs. C. C. Galloway, Count Wilkinson and others. A complete roster of the delegation was not secured, but among them were Mr. and Mrs. James Johnson Walter F. White and Miss Randolph of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Harry E. Davis and Mr. and Mrs. Russell W. Jelliffe of Cleveland; Miss Lee of Baltimore; the Rev. G. R. Waller of Springfield, Mass.; Mr. Thomas of Philadelphia; the Rev. Mr. Burton of Chicago, and Charles Edward Russell of Washington, D. C. The distinguished visitors regretted that their stay in Omaha was so short. Mrs. Elizabeth Bates of Pittsburgh, Pa., is visiting her sister, Mrs. Alma Crosley, 2406 North Thirtieth street. attack on Negro soldiers and charging them with cowardice is either a deliberate conspiracy to malign and discredit American Negro soldiers and the Negro race or it was written without knowledge and conclusion hastily or eagerly jumped at from prejudice without a careful investigation of all the facts regarding the training, experience and conduct in battle of all the colored American soldiers in the American expeditionary forces. "If anyone questions the bravery of the American colored soldier let me relate the story of Sgt. Butler of Co L, 369th Infantry, who pursued a German raiding party into no man's land after they had captured a white American officer and four or five Negro soldiers and who alone and unaided except by the small machine gun he carried, freed the white officer and the colored soldiers, and killed a half dozen of the German raiding party, and seriously wounded the German officer who later died in our trenches. That is the true account of one trained and experienced colored non-commissioned officer acting on his own initiative and what one can do all could have done, if given the opportunity and properly trained and led. "Let no man question the bravery of the colored soldiers for he either does not know what he is talking about or he is prejudiced. "I do not know General Bullard and have no personal controversy with him but simply out of justice to those seven hundred colored soldiers who paid the supreme sacrifice, the five thousand who were wounded and the four hundred thousand in the armed forces of the United States, I wish to take this opportunity to protest, deny and repudiate the charge of cowardice against the American Negro soldier: "Respectfully yours, (Signed) "HAMILTON FISH, JR. "Formerly an Officer in the 369th Infantry." P. S. "Since writing this defense of the colored American soldier in the World War, I have learned that General Robert Lee Bullard was born in Alabama and was appointed to West Point from that state. Such information may be useful to the reader before reaching a conclusion." GROWING :: :: :: :: THANK YOU Vol. X—No. 52 PRIZE NEGRO AWARDED GUGGENHEIM FELLOWSHIP Professor Isaac Fisher, Editor of Fisk News, Among First Fifteen to Secure Coveted Distinction FALLS IN EXCEPTIONAL GROUP Who Will Be Permitted to Take Immediate Advantage of Their Highly Prized Appointment (By the A. N. P.) New York, N. Y., June 26.—The list of persons awarded fellowships to study abroad, by the recently established Guggenheim Foundation contains the name of one colored man, Isaac Fisher, university editor at Fisk University and so many times a winner of prize contests open to the nation at large. As has happened so many times in the past, Mr. Fisher falls in the class of the exceptional group of those receiving fellowships. This point is stressed by the New York Herald-Tribune as follows: "Originally the fellowships were planned to begin next spring, for the academic year of 1926-27, when from forty to fifty fellows will be appointed. However, fifteen applicants proved particularly meritorious and it was found that their cases called for prompt action. The fifteen preliminary awards were made for the academic year starting next fall." Almost all of the New York papers took special interest of the fact that one of the fellows is a colored man. The New York World announced it in its headlines, "Negro to Study Danger Trends in Race Relations". The New York Times referred to it twice remarking once that "One of the Guggenheim fellows will study certain phases of world race relations." The Boston, Mass., Post remarked: "Among the most interesting tasks set for the first group receiving fellowships is that of Isaac Fisher, colored teacher in Fisk university, Nashville, Tenn., who will study 'Danger Trends in World Race Relations' in this country and abroad." The Nashville Tennessee said: "Isaac Fisher, Negro, editor of the Fisk News and teacher in Journalism at Fisk, has been awarded a John Simon Guggenheim fellowship for his work as editor of the Fisk News and also his work in the field of interracial matters, it was announced by the Guggenheim Memorial foundation, Professor Fisher has resigned from Fisk, and it is understood that he will leave Nashville in the fall to take up his studies and work in the east and abroad as provided by the fellowship. Most of his study will be confined to interracial questions and research."

THE NEGRO RACE has always had its defamers and its defenders. Nor is this peculiar to our race. We are prone to think that the lot of our particular people differs entirely from that of others. But that is not true. Others have their difficulties and problems too. The pathway of progress is marked by memorials to obstacles surmounted. There is a sound philosophy underlying the well-known lines of Isaac Watts, in referring to victory in spiritual things: "Sure, I must fight, if I would reign." This applies all along the line. We must not expect to be carried to the skies on "flowery beds of ease". Progress is not made in this way. Progress comes through struggle. Character is developed by struggle. We cannot be exempt from this law of life. We meet opposition and will continue to meet it. We must not be overcome by it but overcome it. It does not matter in what form this opposition comes it must be manfully met. It may come in the form of detraction. It may come in various ways; but come in whatever way it will it must be met and vanquished. What we need is courage to carry on and do our part like men no matter how strong the opposition. Character and achievement are credentials which none can deny. Where these are in evidence and defamers arise defenders will not be wanting. A striking illustration of this is at hand. A southern officer, Bullard by name, has just written a book, in which he maligns the character and courage of Negro soldiers in the late World War. What has happened? The eastern newspapers are full of letters from high officials in the army denying Bullard's charges, and paying high tribute to the valor of black soldiers. These defenders have a good case, because of the character and achievements of Negro soldiers. Defamers are vanquished by defenders when the defamed have contravening facts on their side. IS THIS FAIR TO CHILDREN? KRUG PARK, one of the amusement parks of this city, has adopted the custom of inviting the school children of the city to be its guests on designated days of the year. Different districts, such as the North side, West side, South side, are invited upon different days. All schools in the particular district are the guests on its designated day.

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 choicest heritages 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."

This discrimination is sglaringly inconsistent and unjust that one would think that calling attention to it is all that would be necessary to correct it. It is too much to hope that the management of Krug Park will see to it that this discrimination shall cease in the case of school children whom it generously invites to be its guests? WHO IS LYING? General Bullard of Alabama, says the 92nd Division, Negro troops, were cowardly and inefficient in the World War. General Pershing publicly commended them for their valiant service, saying, "I want you, officers and soldiers of the 92nd Division, to know that the 92nd Division stands second to none in the record you have made since your arrival in France." Somebody is handling the truth recklessly. Who is it? DESIGN OR OVERSIGHT It is rather interesting and instructive to notice the mental attitude of the average white American towards the colored American even in communities where there is a disposition to be broad-minded and fair in public movements. Our people are very frequently left out of the count. It isn't always because they want to leave us out, but simply because they do not think. Their mental process may be described as "thinking in terms of white only". Perhaps we were the dominant race our thought process would be the same. In planning civic affairs or movements we might think of colored folk only. The mental processes of white people is that unquestionably of thinking almost exclusively in terms of white. As illustrative of this: Take Omaha. When making up citizenship committees quite frequently there is no representation whatsoever from our group and yet we constitute about one-twelfth of our city's population. Recently a meeting was called to organize a "Good-Will Movement", to put into practice the principles of the Golden Rule and eliminate friction and misunderstanding among various groups, religions and nationalities. It would seem that on the preliminary committee of something over 100 names, place would be found for some representative of our people. It was doubtless an oversight, due to the tendency, perhaps a natural one, to think only in terms of the larger and For Sale newspaper work and devote parish work, I offer The ed and well-known weekly JOHN ALBERT WILLIAMS. Caution Not Negligible will easily convince open-minded on of the Negro to American man and citizen was far from American life has so subtly and warm and woof of our thinking dominant group. Our people are not always overlooked in such movements in this community, but it quite frequently occurs, more through thoughtlessness, we are inclined to believe, than to any wilful and set purpose to leave us out. We may not be able to help much, but we all can help some. Good Will movements should certainly include all. LINCOLN NEWS AND COMMENT Dr. A. B.

Washington Chapel to Get Pew in Honor of the Lees Valley Forge, Pa.—The Society of Lees of Virginia has presented to the Washington Memorial chapel here a choir pew in honor of the Lees who served in the Revolutionary war and an endowment for maintenance of the chapel choir. The pew is to be of oak, hand carved. On the ends will be carved continental soldiers kneeling in prayer, and on the back will be the coat of arms of the Lee family, with an inscription and the names of the Lees who served in the war. Included in the list are Richard Henry Lee, who offered the resolution that the states should be free; Francis Lightfoot Lee, signer of the Declaration of Independence, and "Lighthorse" Harry Lee. Clock Saves Block Martinsburg, W. Va.—Sounding of an alarm clock which, by mistake, had been set an hour earlier than usual, was responsible for blocking an early morning fire in the Evers building here. The fire department soon had it under control. THE MONITOR 45,000 FEET ALOFT IS FLYING LIMIT Speed at Turns Must Not Exceed 250 Miles. Washington.—Flight surgeons of the army air service believe man has about reached the maximum flying speed at which he can suddenly change direction, owing to the centrifugal force exerted on the body and its effect on the blood. This speed is placed in the vicinity of 250 miles an hour. The limit of speed on a straightaway course, they say, can probably be placed much higher than is now mechanically possible, but experience will have to write the actual figure. The height limit, they add, is around 45,000 feet. This contention regarding the maximum speed for turning, the flight surgeons point out, is predicated upon the experience of Lieut. Alvin J. Williams of the navy, at the Pulitzer air races at St. Louis in October, 1923, who said he became practically unconscious at the turns of the triangular course, when he rounded at 243.67 miles an hour. Blood Carried to Stomach and Legs. The flyer at the turn banks his craft at right angles, the centrifugal force acting at right angles to the new direction of travel and the blood being carried away from the head toward the stomach, and probably even into the legs, causes faintness and possibly unconsciousness. Blood circulation quickly adjusts itself, the flight surgeons say, and the direction of centrifugal force is rapidly changed, although at turns at very high speeds in airplanes, brain injury or rupture of a vital blood vessel might result. Even when supplied with oxygen, the flight surgeons hold, an aviator could not survive beyond a height of 45,000 feet, under ordinary circumstances, because the available oxygen pressure in the lungs would be too low to sustain life. Between 23,000 and 25,000 feet is the "upper limit of consciousness" without oxygen, say the flight surgeons, and at higher altitudes oxygen is indispensable. Only if inclosed in a cabinet or suit in which the barometric pressure were kept at a degree compatible with life would it be possible to ascend beyond the 45,000 limit, with suitable arrangement made for disposing of the surplus carbon dioxide. Queer Experiences at High Altitude. The aviator experiences, among other things, as the result of high altitude flights, sleepiness, uncontrolled emotion, including giggling, singing or laughter; muscular weakness, shortness of breath, impairment of the intellect and judgment, and impairment of vision and hearing. These are chiefly due, medical men explain, to a lack of oxygen in the brain. There are 50 army flight surgeons stationed at different flying fields, all on flying status. A flight medical school is maintained at Mitchell field, New York, where courses are given select medical officers picked for aviation duty. Aviation psychology forms a large share of their work, and they are acquainted with first-hand conditions of the men who go up in the air in ships. The National Aeronautic association's records show that the present maximum altitude record is held by a French fyer with 39,586 feet, and the speed record in a straightaway course is held by another French airman at 278.48 miles an hour. Hit by Burglar, Woman Trans Him in Closet Philadelphia. — How Mrs. Sarah Kaufman unwittingly trapped and almost caused the death of a burglar who had felled her unconscious was revealed 15 hours after the attack. Then a closet door in the Kaufman home was opened by police and out fell the burglar nearly unconscious. Mrs. Kaufman was passing through a room on the second floor on the way to her bedroom when she was felled by a blackjack. Police say that in failure she struck the closet door into which her assailant had darted, and closed it, the spring lock snapping. Her husband found her unconscious and took her to the Misericordia hospital. She was able to return home the same day and was passing through the room where she had been assaulted when she heard a faint scraping noise in the closet. Going to the door she heard a faint breathing and called the police. As the officers opened the door a youth, who later said he was Melvin Barnes, eighteen, of Galveston, Texas, fell out, almost unconscious from lack of air. He admitted later he had broken into the house, but denied striking Mrs. Kaufman. Look Through Walls and Floors With New X-Ray Schenectady. -X-ray machines by means of which one may look through solid walls and floors as easily as a surgeon or dentist now examines subcutaneous parts of his patient's body have been perfected. The inventors are Dr. W. D. Coolidge and his associates in the research laboratory of the General Electric company here. The new apparatus, confined in a box 7 by 8 by 10 inches and weighing only 30 pounds, is expected to prove of great value, especially to plumbers, building contractors, electricians and jewelers. To use the device it will only be necessary to connect an ordinary extension cord to the nearest lamp socket or base plug of the household lighting system. Hereafter, the inventors say, the man who wishes to hang a picture on the wall and doesn't know where to find a solid place to drive a nail will not have to ruin the wall before finding the right spot. The new machine may also prove a nemesis to smugglers. By shooting the rays through precious stones the jewelers would easily be able to determine the genuineness of any jewel.

But when this cannot be done without impairing the quality of telephone service, we believe it our duty to seek an adjust- ment in rates, ) The rates charged by our Company in this state have not been adequate for many years to pay a reasonable re- turn on the value of our property, although telephone pa- trons have enjoyed a good quality of service at prices rela- tively lower than they have paid for other services and products. Telephone users demand reliable service. Employees who supply such service should be fairly paid. Those who invest their money to build telephone plant to meet the needs of the public for service must be paid a fair return or additional money for growth could not be obtained. We be- lieve that the interests of the public, our employees and in- vestors can be best served only when charges for telephone service are such as will pay expenses and earn a fair and t reasonable return on the value of our property. The detailed facts as to our investment, earnings and expenses, have been presented in our proceedings before the State Railway Commission and the Court, and on June 11, such decision was rendered by the Court as permits us to place reasonable rates in effect. We will, therefore, make adjustments in rates in our various exchanges throughout Nebraska. Following are the charges for the principal classes of service for the Omaha exchange, effective July 1: NORTH ZONE NORTH GENERAL ZONE These rates include unlimited service These rates include unlimited service within the area covered by te Atlantic, for subscribers living in the North Zone Jackson, Harney, Kenwood, Walnut and to subscribers in both the North and South ebster central offices.

Service and Sermon The Church With a Welcome and a Message, Come Washington.—A survey of foreign markets by the commerce department to develop the possibilities of further expanding this country's export trade in radio manufactures, which showed a remarkable growth in 1924 by reaching a total value of $6,030,914, has disclosed a varying prospect in the countries covered in the first study, just completed. Some of them, such as Bulgaria, absolutely forbid broadcasting and the sale or use of receiving sets. In Belgium, radio users can hear German, French, English and Hollandese broadcasting stations, and there is a lively receiving public, but they are getting their radio supplies at a low rate for American competition. Germany is practically excluding radio manufacturers from abroad by an import licensing system, but in England, where 1,200,000 receiving sets show the new art has attained a popularity second only to that in the United States, there is little restriction on American imports of new material. Scandinavian countries also offer brisk markets for the purveying of receiving sets, and Poland is freeing users from limitations previously placed upon the broadcaster and receiver. Canada, however, is still the largest customer of the United States for radio apparatus, her imports being valued at $2,413,687 last year. Rome.-The influx into Rome of thousands of holy year pilgrims and tourists is rapidly restoring to the city its prewar position as one of the most interesting of European capitals. Rome's best shopping thoroughfare, the Via Condotti, would be lost in Fifth avenue. In fact, it would stretch hardly more than two blocks of that fine avenue. It could never be found in the miles of shopping streets in Paris. And yet Roman men and women of the better classes are as modishly and as smartly dressed as any the world over. Rome's greatest avenue, the Corso Umberto, is never wider than a roomy alley, and scores of the city's streets are heritages of the Middle ages with no sidewalks and hardly room for two carriages to pass each other. And yet Rome has some of the finest and most luxurious motor cars in the world, and its wealthier residents are among the best customers of Italy's great motor car factories. Paralyzed 6 Years. Kearney, N. J.—Fred Kleber of Lyndhurst, N. J., for six years a victim of partial paralysis, walked without crutches recently, due, he believes, to excitement during a rampage of a maniac in a hospital here, when two other patients and three nurses were attacked. Kleber leaped from his bed and sprinted up a stairway to escape Peter Granato, who sprang upon him in bed and attempted to strangle him. Granato leaped from a window after his outbreak, but was captured after H. J. Pinkett.
