SEES GREAT WORLD WAR ON COLOR LINE Desdunes Changes Mind and Declines to Play for Sheeted Gang LIFTING :: :: :: :: LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5c a Copy SEES Desdunes WHITE RESIDENTS ATTEMPT TO DRIVE POSTMAN AWAY Purchased Property for Residence and Declines to Sell Out at Largely Advanced Figure LETTERS THREATEN MURDER Policemen Have Been Appointed to Guard Brown's Home and District Attorney to Start Investigation New York, July 31.—A special grand jury, called by District Attorney C. Fach of Richmond county, to question fifteen whites subpoenaed on charges of damaging the property of Samuel Brown, a colored postal employee, of 67 Fairview avenue, Castleton Hill, West New Brighton, L. L., and attempting to frighten him and his family from their home, adjourned Tuesday without taking any action. Thursday was set as the date for the resumption of the case. "A Matter of Principle" Brown, who has become the victim of a residential segregation design, following his refusal to sell his property in the exclusive Castleton Hill district to whites for less than $12,000, before the court adjourned declared: "It is now a matter of principle with me; I am going to fight it out to the end." Attack Home Several attacks have been made on Brown's home, the last one occurring at 3:36 o'clock last Friday morning. A number of white men hurled bricks through windows of the house, uprooted trees and destroyed flowers. Brown reported the affair to the district attorney, who called the special jury. White neighbors of Brown have admitted that they tried to induce him to move out of that neighborhood. Some of them said that Brown had aroused the resentment of the white residents by demanding an excessive price for his house when white people offered to buy it. H. M. Robertson, of the Robertson Development Company, which developed Castleton Hill, declared: "My company sold the property to a Mrs. Evans a few years ago for $5,500. If we had had any idea she wanted to resell we would have willingly bought it back with a good profit to her. "I was elected chairman of a Citizen's Committee that went to see Brown. I pointed out that he was the only colored man in a neighborhood which depended for its property values on its exclusiveness, and that in view of this we would pay him $9,500 for his property. Brown declined the offer." Brown paid $8,500 for the property in July, 1924, according to Robertson. He rejected another offer of $10,000 by the Citizens' Committee. Robertson said that Brown, in refusing the second offer, asserted that he did not want to sell because he had bought the place for a permanent home and intended to settle down. Receives Threats Brown declared that he had received many threatening letters since the attempts to oust him began, many of which were signed or undersigned with crosses. One of the letters, he declared, warned him that his wife, a school teacher, would be "shot by an ex-service man" if they did not move. "She will not be shot in the house but in the street while she is returning from work," the letter further stated. Postmaster Frank Foggins of Staten Island denied a report that he had been asked to have Brown transferred to another postoffice. Policemen have been ordered to guard Brown's house, on which fire insurance has been cancelled a number of times. WHITE PHILANTHROPISTS AID COLORED ORPHANAGE Houston, Tex., July 31.—Four thousand dollars was donated toward the Gilmer Texas Colored Orphans' Home by three white philanthropists within less than an hour after a campaign had been launched by its founder, Rev. W. L. Dickson. The donors were John H. Kirby, $2,500; Will Hogg, $1,000 and Jessie Jones $500. All three have been regular contributors to the institution. THE MONITOR DESDUNES CANCELS K. K. K. ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLISHES NOTICE Last week The Monitor published an article from the Omaha Daily News to the effect that Dan Desdunes, leader of the famous band which has played an important part in putting Omaha on the map and has a national reputation, had promised to play for the Ku Klux Klan, and would have done so July 4th could he have been released from another engagement. The Monitor added the information that it had been reliably informed that a definite en- DIRECTOR DESDUNES DAN DESDUNES gagement had been made for Tuesday night, July 28, and a subsequent engagement, date not publicly given, had also been accepted. Similar information was carried in the daily press. The World-Herald of Sunday, July 26, carried this self-explanatory advertisement: TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Dan Desdunes Explains Contrary to announcements, Dan Desdunes Band Will NOT Play for the Ku Klux Klan public meeting. I was simple enough to believe that a band, like a railroad, was created to serve all of the people. I know better now. (Signed) DAN DESDUNES. The second engagement was for Friday night, July 31, at a meeting of the Omaha Klan. This engagement was also cancelled, because of "adverse public sentiment". Readers of The Monitor and warm admirers of Dan Desdunes everywhere will be pleased to learn of his action in this matter. FINDS $1,100 TURNS IT OVER TO POLICE Los Angeles, Cal., July 31.—While Herbert Howard, 24, erstwhile janitor of the Plaza Branch of the Citizens Trust and Savings Bank, was making his nightly rounds he came upon a neat package which he found contained $1,100 in currency. Within an hour the youth appeared at the Central Station carrying a 38-calibre pistol in his hand. When the police disarmed him and demanded to know what it was all about, he told them of his find and declared that he had brought it to them for safe keeping. The police commended Howard for his honesty and took charge of the money, after advising him to be careful with the "Big Bertha". SEGREGATION NOT SO EASY IN LOS ANGELES Los Angeles, Calif., July 31.—That the colored citizens here do not intend to tolerate segregation, has become evident by the filing of two segregation suits in the superior courts. One suit brought by A. Hockett, of 1388 E. Washington street, charges that the proprietor of a restaurant at 709 E. Washington street, St. Haynes, unlawfully refused to serve him; the other brought by P. L. Hodge charges the Stearn Drug Co. with refusing to serve him at one of its fountains. Attorney Willis O. Tyler is representing the plaintiffs in both cases, which have the backing of the N. A. A. C. P. Subscribe for The Monitor! OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, JULY 31, 1925 HELPING THE BLACK MAN OUT OF HIS SAD PLIGHT IS A DUTY AND A PLEASURE HOWARD UNIVERSITY PLANS BIG PUBLICITY CAMPAIGN Washington, D. C., July 31.—A Publicity Committee was authorized by the Board of Trustees of Howard University to aid in keeping the University's work before the philanthropic public. The future of the University is recognized to depend much upon public approval. At the first meeting held at the Prince George Hotel, New York City, Dr. Chas, R. Brown, of Yale University, who is president of Howard's Board of Trustees, President J. Stanley Durkee, Secretary-Treasurer Dr. Emmett J. Scott; Trustees, Moorland, Dumas, Wheatland and Hawkins, Librarian E. C. Williams, Dean Kelly Miller, and Emory B. Smith, secretary of the alumni. It was resolved to push a vigorous campaign of publici- Because I am interested chiefly in white people I take an interest in the Negro. There are twelve million Negroes in the United States. They are here to stay. That's a tenth of our population. It's a question whether we want them to be vicious or decent. I prefer to have my children and grandchildren live where there is no ignorant, uncouth and vicious underprivileged class. If we would keep the Negro down we must stay down with him. It was this thought that first interested me in the Negro. Booker Washington said: "You can't keep a man in the ditch without staying in with him and you can't get out of the ditch without climbing out too." Soon after I had read "An American Citizen," a biography of William H. Baldwin, the friend of Tuskegee, written by John Graham Brooks, I met Booker Washington. He asked me to become one of the Tuskegee Institute trustees. In that way I became interested in education for Negroes. In one of my talks with Dr. Washington he pictured to me the miserable condition of Negro secondary schools in the South and asked me to finance an experiment in extension work that would cost about $25,000. I did it. The experiment was a success. There was $2000 left over. Dr. Washington asked me if I would let him have it to help build a number of experimental school-houses. His idea was to interest both the white people and colored people in the building of modest but substantial and comfortable schools in given rural communities, donating one-fourth of the cost POPULARITY CONTEST CLOSES The contest for the most popular tennis girl was closed Monday evening at the North Side Branch Y. W. C. A. After a brief program consisting of solos by Mr. Carter and readings from Paul Lawrence Dunbar by Mrs. Senora Wilkinson the names of the eight contestants and the votes reported were read by the chairman of the recreation committee, Mrs. Minnie Dixon. Miss Ernestine Singleton reported 513 votes and was declared the winner. She was presented with a fine tennis racquet. Miss Mercedes Johnson came second with 417 votes. The committee decided to give a second prize as Mercedes had worked very hard and made such an excellent showing. The standing of the eight contestants is as follows: Miss Ernestine Singleton, 513 votes; Miss Mercedes Johnson 417, Miss Melva McCaw 233, Miss Josephine Ratcliffe 226, Miss Nancy Pharr 155, Miss Louise Scott 152, Miss Geraldine Harris 51, Miss Helen Fletcher 46. An Omaha Kiddie ty, and to that end it was decided that President Durkee be relieved from internal routine details so that he may employ his powers of oratory, in the pulpit and platform throughout the country, in placing Howard University before the general public, and making its claims on the public interest better known. Dean Kelly Miller, Alumni Secretary Smith and others will be associated with Dr. Durkee. All these activities will be systematically outlined and directed by a committee of four headed by Dr. Durkee. Nature of Campaign The propaganda will be set in motion by a series of meetings in large churches, white and colored, of New York City, New Rochelle, Rochester and Syracuse, N. Y.; Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts; Providence and Newport, Rhode Island; Bridgeport New Haven and Hartford, Connecti- BY JULIUS ROSENWALD when one-fourth had been raised by the Negroes themselves and the balance by the white people. The plan worked so well and aroused so much interest that before the first of these schools was built there were applications for funds for more. The idea spread and kept spreading with the result that we have over 2800 schoolhouses for Negroes in the fourteen southern states. They represent an investment of nearly twelve million dollars. About 55 per cent has been contributed by southern white people and of public funds; and about 22 per cent has been raised by colored people. The Julius Rosenwald Fund, as it is now called, has contributed 18 per cent and supervised the construction. The results have been so gratifying that there is a feeling of satisfaction and a desire to increase rather than limit the work. Wherever these schools are built there is an immediate and noticeable improvement in the life and thought of the colored people served. We find the Negro taking more pride in his home and premises and more pride in his children. That little schoolhouse with its trim windows, its spotless coat of paint and its tidy furnishings sets a mark for him and he tries to live up to it. The Negro has city problems too. He needs a center for education, recreation and service, such as the Y. M. C. A. furnishes in its buildings, and this need has been emphasized since the recent migra Commends Editorials Omaha, Nebr., July 29, 1925 To the Editor of The Monitor: Your editorials, always worthwhile, have in the mind of the writer been exceptionally so in the recent issues of your helpful paper. I refer to your views as expressed on the sad prevalence of policy playing among our people and the acceptance of our Dan Desdunes of an invitation to play for the ignominious Ku Klux Klan. As little related as the two matters may seem to be, there is an insiduous principle common to both. Very commendably our people are grasping after business. On every hand they are admonished to establish and support business of our own. But like all worthy causes this too has been very seriously misapprehended and misapplied. Unscrupulous persons have concluded that any way a dollar may be obtained other than by so-called common labor is more commendable than that earned by honest sweat. Insidiously, social classifications are gradually being formed on that basis. Such a tendency augurs not the best for the race's future. A dollar ob- cut, and Montclair, New Jersey.

Dodge, colored, who has been in the employment of the Southern Trust Commerce Bank of this city for many years received a reward for faithful and efficient service last week by being given the position of confidential clerk of the institution. The banking officials stated that the position was one which required both honesty and ability, and one of vital importance to the successful conduct of the concern. OUT OF HIS D A PLEASURE tions to northern cities. The Negro lacked the means to provide such facilities. This led me to make an offer which stimulated white and colored people to work together for the same cause. They raised the needed funds, constructed the buildings and co-operated in the management of the completed property. The Y. M. C. A. appealed to me for this work because it could organize and protect the Negroes—be a big brother to a neglected group. This movement has resulted in eighteen buildings in fifteen cities. Two of the buildings are for women and girls in New York and Philadelphia. The total value of the property is more than three million dollars. Of that amount, colored people gave nearly four hundred thousand dollars. White friends, in various cities, gave more than a million and a half. The acquisition of money is largely a matter of luck; a man inherits money or he stumbles upon some money making opportunity. In my own case, I luckily, at the right moment, fell into a business that had great money-making possibilities. The fact that I have been commercially successful is not due so much to my ability as to great good luck. There are, no doubt, men right here in this business (Sears, Roebuck & Co.) today working for modest wages who would have made a greater success of it than I have, had they had my opportunity. Having made money, my problem now is how to use it so as to give and get happiness out of it. I am glad of the privilege of trying to help the Negro climb out of the ditch. tainted at the sacrifice of principle lacks much of being an asset. It is therefore hoped that your efforts will bear fruit along the line desired. And may our mutual friend Desdunes seriously consider, if he does not reconsider, his promise in the light of what I am quite sure is his honest-to-goodness better judgment.

Woodward, of this city, who died leaving most of her $50,000 estate to her colored maid, Miss Amelia M. Stewart, was upheld last week by Vice-Chancellor Leaming in the Mercer County Orphans' Court. The bequest to Miss Stewart includes the $25,000 home and personal property to the value of $25,000. Relatives of Mrs. Woodward contested the will, but the vice-chancellor held that there was nothing to support the charge that the testator had been unduly influenced. YOUNGEST GRANDMOTHER IS 30 Hagerstown, Md., July 31.—(A. N. P.)—The youngest grandmother in the United States so far discovered is Mrs. Lola Dixon of this city, who is just 30 years old. Her daughter, Mrs. R. W. Middleton, is just 15, and has just become the mother of a boy. Mr. E. C. Bryant of the South Side and an employee of the American Smelting company delivered a highly-commended address last Sunday evening before the Young Peoples Society of the First Reformed church at Twenty-third and Deer Park Boulevard on "The Accomplishments of the American Negro."

Britten Austen in The Sunday Pictorial. He believes the world is rushing toward a struggle directed by a Bolshevist campaign, which will make the fall of the Roman Empire look like a small local affair in the destinies of the white nations. "The shadow of a war cloud in the East is falling darkly upon the hitherto sunny world supremacy of the white race," says Mr. Austen. "It is unpleasantly possible that the cloud may be cloven tomorrow or the day after, but inevitably by the lightning flashes of war. The white man's prestige will disappear when the savage, barbary millions from Africa and Asia can defy the white man. "The white man has forcibly fed the ancient populations with the newest theories of education, politics and social custom. He has fatuously presented them with thousands and thousands of cinemas showing the white races in a contemptible light. He has committed the crowning folly of leading the colored races into battle against white men. In Africa, India, Indo-China and China tens of thousands of demobilized war auxiliaries have returned to spread the wondrous tale that the white man is not invivible. "The colored race hates the white man, with a hate whereof we have no conception. Moscow's one great reiterated hope is that the innumerable millions of colored races rise and massacre the white man. They have used feverish propaganda to accomplish this. "They count cunningly on Japan. Although Japan is equal with the Western nations in the war of commerce, the white man insultingly treats her nationals as an inferior race. Her populations are desperately overcrowded, but the white man denies them an outlet. Japan could fight a war against America or Great Britain, or both, with a reasonable prospect of at least temporary success. If she should, the whole world's colored race would seet in fanatic excitement.

The case against Spanos was brought by Brown and Colliss, residents of the Cedar Avenue Y. M. C. A. who refused to eat in a back room of the Greek's restaurant, and were thereupon not served. The winning of the suit against Spanos marks the second victory of the Negroes of this state against segregation within the last three weeks. The other case was against segregation of Negroes by the Dayton school board.

THE sudden call of William Jennings Bryan at Dayton, Tenn., last Sunday afternoon shocked not only America but the world, for he was an international character. And yet how fitting was the close of his strenuous earthly career, a militant career, for for more than thirty years he had been on the firing line, fighting for policies and principles which he apparently believed to be right, certainly which he enthusiastically espoused and championed. And yet was there not a note of insincerity in many things which he did, certain inconsistencies which did not ring true to absolute sincerity? He was largely an opportunist. An opportunist, despite the fact that his opportunism frequently found him on the unpopular side. We believe an analysis of his political career will show this to be true: he was always seeking or trying to make an issue that would be popular, and having found or made such an one he threw himself into it with the vigor and abandon of a crusader. Opportunism is written large in the unbiased biography of William Jennings Bryan, an opportunism which reveals striking inconsistencies. An avowed pacifist and opponent of war, he raised the Third Nebraska regiment and was commissioned as its colonel in the Spanish American War. Rosevelt was colonel of the Rough Riders. Each had political aspirations, If Rosevelt had not organized the Rough Riders would Bryan, the great Commoner, the ardent pacifist, have raised the Third Nebraska regiment and applied for a commission? And is it not remarkable that he who was so opposed to militarism should direct that his body should be laid to rest in Arlington, the burial plot of America's soldier dead? There let him rest. No one would say nay to his request; but it is quite inconsistent with the cause of peace which in late years he had so uncompromisingly championed. But whatever may be thought or said of Bryan's political career his religious sincerity cannot be questioned. We be believe that he was a Christian man and like all great outstanding Americans his witness for Christ and the fundamental verities of the Christian religion has been a most valuable contribution to his country. That he was mistaken in his views concerning the power of the evolutionary theory to overthrow the Christian religion or destroy or weaken religious faith and hope does not detract from his consistent witness for righteousness and religious truth, as he conceived it. He was a great religious and moral force in our national life, and because he was this, we could never understand his absolute silence on questions which peculiarly affected our group, and affecting us, vitally concern the nation. We cannot recall a single utterance of the great Commoner against mob violence, of which our people have been so largely victims, or any phase of race relations. We may be mistaken as to this, but we know of none. Positive and outspoken on so many questions, he was negative and silent on these. Was not this due to his opportunism which was writ large in his public career? His life, however, was a busy and useful one. He was unquestionably one of the great men of his day and generation. He shed luster upon Nebraska and Ne- THE NEGRO'S CONTRIBU A moment's thought will persons that the contribution nationality as slave, freedman negligible.

Moden 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."

Whatever may have been his faults, and who is faultless, his virtues overtapped them all and the world is richer for the life labor and example of William Jennings Bryan. IS THERE A RISING TIDE OF HATE? MANY writers in discussing world conditions seem to stress the belief that there is a great conflict between the white and colored races impending. Is there the rising tide of hate which many seem to sense? If there be then the forces of Christianity should be concentrated upon turning this tide of hatred into one of goodwill. There is an imperative duty resting upon those in dominant places, whose exploitation and mistreatment of the darker races is responsible for this rising tide to avert it by showing justice and kindness. LEARN TO MAKE THE MOST OF SMALL THINGS UNDER the above caption, The Negro World, one of our most thought-stimulating exchanges which is a welcome visitor to our desk, recently published the following excellent editorial, the sentiment of which we heartily endorse and commend to the thoughtful consideration of our readers: The Negro people, we believe from long experience and close observation, buy more things they do not need and could get along without than any other group of the citizenship. They place a smaller valuation upon small things than any other group. They buy things on credit that they could do without and which the collector calls once a week regularly to collect upon than any other group. The credit system of buying all sorts of things from illustrated Bibles to pianos and music boxes of all sorts, appeals to them. In this way most Negro families, especially in the large cities, have themselves mortgaged to insurance agents, furniture and picture dealers, clothing installment concerns, so that every week they are driven almost crazy paying and standing off collectors for all sorts of things it was not really necessary to buy in the first instance. In all of the installment plan business, it should not be overlooked, the prices charged are invariably twice as much as the same articles could be purchased for cash. We should learn to say "No!" to the credit system shakes when they offer and often force their trashy articles upon us, upon which we must pay a little something each week, and which helps to make the purchasing power of the payless envelope for the necessary things. And even in the necessary things, foodstuffs, clothing and the like, we must have the best and are more extravagant than any other group of people in the same financial condition of wage-earning and poverty which beset the average of us. And we buy most we need. We sell very little, except our labor, and for that we receive the smallest rate because we must do work others do not care to do. We buy much; we sell little. The profit is made in the selling and not in the buy- NOT NEGLIGIBLE easily convince open-minded of the Negro to American an and citizen was far from american life has so subtly and warp and woof of our thinking Negro. He came with the first ing. In order to even matters we should sell at least half a smuch as we buy. When we don't do that we are playing a losing game.

If you don't start you will always stand still. "DAN DESDUNES EXPLAINS" WE publish in this issue a two-inch display advertisement which was published in the Sunday World-Herald announcing that Desdunes' band would not play at the Ku Klux Klan public meeting as it had been previously announced it would. The caption of this editorial is taken from that advertisement. Mr. Desdunes' explanation is brief. He says, "I was simple enough to believe that a band, like a railroad, was created to serve all the people. I know better now." In passing it may be asked, would a railroad knowingly carry a crowd whose purpose was to dynamite its bridges, tear up its tracks and derail its trains? We opine that the railroad who conceived it to be its duty to "serve all the people" would consider it its duty to decline to serve such people. It would draw the line. Or if it were the known intention of the crowd to destroy the property and jeopardize the lives of people on competing or rival lines, we hardly think that any railroad would lend its influence to that program, do you? Is it necessary to press the analogy? We are very glad that Mr. Desunes cancelled his engagement with the Klan, whether it was due to his own better judgment, which is probably true, or to influence brought to bear upon him by some of his staunchest friends and supporters many of whom belong to the people whom the Klan would like to destroy. That he was wholly within his rights to accept a business engagement of that nature cannot be questioned, but the expediency of accepting such, knowing the principles, or lack of principle, if you please, for which the hooded order stands is, indeed, most questionable. We believe that Mr. Desunes has strengthened himself among all classes, even the hooded brigade, by his refusal to play for an organization which is inimical to his race and the religion of his godly and devout parents. NAVY TRIES TO CONQUER FOGS Washington.—The United States navy is making another effort to conquer the last unconquered monster of the sea—fog. Every other obstacle in the way of navigation has been surmounted. But fog is still unattended. Often it comes without warning, the result of quick changes in ocean or air currents, temperature, or atmospheric pressure. It strikes the navigator blind. True, he has his charts and instruments. But what good are these if he cannot see the ocean around him or the sky above? His only course is to steam forward by what is called "dead reckoning." He knows his location when the fog drops, knows the direction he is going and the speed at which his ship is traveling. Armed with this knowledge, he can figure his position on the chart—approximately — as his ship plows through the waves. This enables him to avoid rocks and reefs—sometimes. Sometimes dead reckoning goes wrong. The La Honda disaster, off the California coast, furnished terrible proof of this. Seven destroyers of the battle fleet were traveling through fog at a speed of 20 knots. Their object was to turn in to shore, but a series of jagged reefs had first to be passed. Dead reckoning told the commander of the first destroyer that the place to turn had been reached. He changed his course, the others following in line. Suddenly the roar of breakers was heard. The destroyers tried to swerve, to reverse. Too late—their speed was too great. One after the other the seven ships piled up on the jagged rocks. The commander's dead reckoning had been wrong—and fog collected another toil. Study Cottrell Principle. Naval scientists are now trying to combat fog by figuring out a suitable modification of "Cottrell's Precipitation." The original purpose of the precipitator was to "lay" smoke and fumes beched from factories and furnaces and thus prevent their spread. The precipitator, named for its inventor, Dr. F. G. Cottrell, is a device for making tiny particles in the air collect into larger masses. Powerful electric currents are used. When the particles form in larger bodies they drop to the ground. The naval investigators have hopes that the precipitator principle can be used to dispel fog off a ship's bows. With this in view they are studying the composition of fog, trying to figure out a modification of Cottrell's device that will apply to its particles as well as to particles of smoke. Oslo, Norway—Ten musk oxen, brought from Greenland recently on a sailing vessel, are spending the summer on Kjilholm island, off the west coast of Norway. It is bovied they will become used to It is hoped they will become used to the climate of northern Europe. THE MONITOR The flesh of these animals makes excellent eating, as Arctic explorers can testify, and there is always a demand for them in zoological gardens. The animals wander at will about the island, finding an abundance of food in the grasses and rough herbage. They still resent the approach of human beings, however. The most anxious time for those interested in the experiment will be during the summer. The natural habitat of the musk ox is among the bleak regions of Arctic America, and it is possible they will not survive a more southern summer. Foresees People Will Talk With Bees. Boston—J. B. S. Haldane, British biochemist, says it's only a question of time before man will be talking with bees and ants. The investigations of Wheeler of Harvard have made it very probable that the behavior of social insects such as ants, instead of being based on a complicated series of special instincts, rests largely on an economic foundation not so very unlike our own. The ant that brings back a bug to the nest gets paid for it by a sweet juice secreted by those that stayed at home. On the other hand, a German entomologist at Kiel has been tackling the problem of how much one bee can tell another and how he does it. Tomorrow it looks as if we should be overhearing the conversation of bees, and the day after tomorrow be joining in it. Was on Constitution Bangor. Me.—Samuel G. Haskell of Georgetown. Me, was once a member of the crew of the Constitution, not when she was making her fighting reputation, but when she made her last voyage in 1878. Mr. Haskell was present when the celebration of the Constitution's one hundredth anniversary took place. Egypt Offers Prize for Rebuilding of Mosque Washington.—The Egyptian government has instituted a competition, open to architects of any nationality, for the reconstruction of the mosque of Amrou in Cairo as it was in the days of its greatest splendor. Prizes will be awarded of $12,500, $5,000 and $2,000, respectively, for the best three plans submitted to the Egyptian minister of religion by January 1, 1927, accompanied by treatises on the subject. The mosque was built in the year 663 by Amrou, the Arab conqueror of Egypt, and was at its highest splendor between the Tenth and Fourteenth centuries. Enda Honeymoon Hammonton, N.

Interest has been very keen not only among the contestants themselves, but also among their friends in every walk of life and in every nook and cranny of the nation. Among the contestants are lovely school teachers, beautiful business women, alert young matrons, young high school girls, and a host of other women of every type of beauty. By means of thousands of dollars of alluring prizes, Madame Hightower, long a beauty cultist of national repute, has determined to crown her career by having members of our race themselves choose the fairest flowers of our womanhood, and cast their votes for them. The girl receiving the most votes in the entire contest, which closes at midnight September 15th, will Do You Owing to the absence of Rev. H. W.

To the next four girls, a free trip to Atlantic City will also be given, and each will be presented with a free $100 trousseau. To the next 48 girls (the leader in each state) will be given a dazzling diamond ring. In celebration of the elaborate conclusive event—the grand reception of Atlantic City in October—a committee of nationally important business and professional figures of our group has been chosen by Madame Hightower to receive the charming girls chosen as the true seiors of our noble race. Included in the list of judges on this are: Hallie Q. Brown, teacher, writer, scholar, of Wilberforce College, and Robt. L. Vann, editor of the Pittsburgh Courier; Edward Scott, the Rembrandt of race artists, with several other equally notable men and women. With each of the famous Golden Brown Beauty Preparations, from 50 to 100 free vote coupons are packed, and Madame Hightower advises that all girls of our group miles north on Twenty-seventh from Holdrege street. The usual services were held at Quin Chapel Sunday. The services were all interesting. Rev. M. C. Knight baptized two persons in Mt. Zion pool Sunday afternoon with much rejoicing. Rev. W. A.

"I want every girl of our group who has entered in the contest, be she rich or poor, from North or South, East or West, teacher or scholar, married or single, to know that she has a remarkable opportunity and achieve honor and distinction, but the long sought chance to win one of the gorgeous prizes by merely saving free vote coupons which go with all my Golden Brown Beauty Preparations," said Madame Hightower, in an interview today. Every girl must get busy and set to work in earnest at once if they would reap a full harvest of their opportunity. "I shall be glad to hear from any of them, and to help all of them," concluded Madame Hightower, as she turned to step back into her office.
