ANOT FLORIDA SUPREME COURT REVERSES DIVOROE ACTION Alimony Granted Addie Hunter Floyd Denied by Higher Court, Which Reverses Lower Court Ruling. PRINCIPALS ARE PROMINENT Husband Retired Wealthy Sea Captain —Wife Widow of Former National Y. M. C. A. Secretary. Jacksonville, Fla., June 11.—A very important decision in the famous Floyd divorce case was rendered here in the supreme court of the state of Florida, when it reversed the lower court and denied alimony to Mrs. Addie Hunton-Floyd. This case has attracted nation-wide attention, because of the prominence of both the parties involved. In August, 1924, Captain J. W. Floyd of Jacksonville, who had married the former field secretary of the N. A. C. P. some months before, filed his suit on grounds of desertion. Immediately she employed attorneys in New York and Florida to file petition for temporary alimony against her husband. Much testimony was taken in New York and Florida on the question of the necessity of the wife for support and of the ability of the husband to pay, and the circuit court at Jacksonville awarded the wife a sum to be paid her monthly as alimony. All hopes for a compromise were shattered when her attorneys refused to consider anything less than $10,000. Captain Floyd, through his attorney, S. D. McGill, appealed the case to the supreme court of the state which in a well-written opinion just handed down reversed the lower court and remanded the case. The decision said in part: "That alimony in Florida is not a matter of right, that a wife voluntarily absenting herself from her husband's household without his fault is not entitled to temporary alimony, and though the husband in this case is abundantly able to pay his wife alimony, yet he is justified in withholding from her any support unless she can show that she is living away from him through his fault and that she is destitute and in need." The case has attracted wide attention because of the prominence of the parties involved. Captain Floyd is a wealthy retired sea captain, perhaps the only real colored sea captain in the country. He was captain of the steamship "Dauntless" of Spanish-American war fame, which rendered great service for the Cuban cause." Mrs. Hunton is a widow of the late A. W. Hunton, formerly secretary of the National Y. M. C. A., and is nationally known as a lecturer and public speaker. PICKENS DELIVERS SERIES OF "LUNCHEN ADDRESSES" Seattle, Wash.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—William Pickens, field secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, delivered a series of "luncheon addresses" in this city this week that have excited widespread comment. The first was Thursday at the Butler hotel to the members of the Young Men's Republican club; the second, at the University of Washington on Friday, and the third, to members of the Seattle Democratic club, Saturday. NEGRO YOUTH GAINING POPULARITY AS A POET Fayetteville, Ark.—Although working daily as a porter in a local barber shop. George Ballard is rapidly gaining a reputation of being a poet and by his verse is attracting the attention, interest and favorable comment of literary critics throughout the state. Ballard writes poetry as a side line and for his own amusement and recently some of his work found their way into the columns of one of the dailies and attracted the attention of students and teachers of the University of Arkansas. THE MONITOR MEMORIAL SERVICES BESPEAK NATION'S TRIBUTE TO CANNON New York—"It is always an inspiration to others thus to honor the memory of one who has been of service to his fellow men," wrote President Coolidge in tribute to the memory of the late Dr. George E. Cannon, of New Jersey, who was an influential leader in national republican politics, and who seconded the nomination of Mr. Coolidge at the republican national convention in Cleveland, in 1924. Services in Dr. Cannon's memory were held Decoration Day evening in the Mount Olivet Baptist church, Lenox avenue and 120th street under the auspices of the National Colored epublic conference, an organization which the deceased founded several years ago. Dr. Cannon died in New Jersey in April, 1925. Written tributes were also received from Vice President Dawes, Senator William M. Butler, chairman of the republican national committee, Governor Smith of New York. Governor Moore of New Jersey, Governor Pinchot of Pennsylvania, Senator Wadsworth of New York, Senator Edge of New Jersey, and Col. Theodore Roosevelt. Among the speakers who eulogized Dr. Cannon was Thomas E. Miller of Philadelphia, the first Negro elected to the house of representatives from the South. He was elected twice in Charleston. S. C., after he had served eighteen years in the legislature of that state. In state and national political circles Dr. Cannon has been succeeded by Hon. Oliver Randolph, one of the leading members of the bar of the state of New Jersey. TENNESSEE GOVERNOR WELCOMES TEACHERS Nashville. Tenn.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Gov. Austin Peay extended greetings on behalf of the state of Tennessee to more than 1,000 state teachers who assembled at the magnificent Tennessee War Memorial Building Friday evening. The spirit shown at the opening meeting indicated that the session will be one of the most successful in the history of the teachers' association of Tennessee. MORRIS MAKES HISTORY AT GIRLS' SEMINARY Allendale, N. C.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Charles Satchell Morris, Jr., son of the famous preacher by that name, and known for years as the "boy orator", arose to unprecedented heights when he was invited to address the teacher and student body of Coker College, a seminary for white girls, at Hartsville, near here. The appearance of the young orator marked one of the few times that a Negro has ever been called upon to address an exclusive audience of southern white women, and is perhaps only paralleled by Morris' appearance before the students of the Flora McDonald College, a similar seminary, at Rod Springs, North Carolina in 1924. CREOLE BELLES DOING GOOD Aniston, Ala.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—E. D. Lee's Crcole Belles, a colored musical company, has been playing a number of good towns and drawing good business on its southern tour. The company is well received, and has excited some comment. There are twenty-five in the company, and it has its own band and orchestra. FORMER OMAHA BACHELOR TO BECOME A BENEDICT A wedding which will be of interest to Omahans will be solemnized in St. Philip's Episcopal church, St. Paul, Minn., Sunday morning, June 27, when Dr. Elmer Morris successful St. Paul druggist, will lead to the altar, Miss Carrie Burnette Ellis, daughter of Mrs. Carrie B. Ellis of that city. Dr. Craig Morris of Omaha, brother of Elmer, will be best man. Other Omaha relatives will attend the ceremony.

WHITE FRIENDS CO-OPERATE Mrs. Vance, of Inter-Racial Committee of Y. W. C. A., Makes Effective Appeal. A committee of twenty-five colored citizens representing the N. A. A. C. , the Ministerial Alliance, the Roosevelt Post of the American Legion, the Masons, the Odd Fellows the U. B. F., the Medical Association, the Colored Commercial club, and other organizations waited upon the Board of Education last Monday night to petition the appointment of colored teachers in some of the schools of Omaha. The committee pinted out that there were several schools such as the Long, the Howard Kennedy, the Kellom and the West Side, in which there is a large enrollment of colored pupils in which such teachers could be advantageously placed. Rev. John Albert Williams and H. J. Pinkett were chosen to present the case to the Board, which they did briefly and cogently, stressing the fact that with our population totaling one fifteenth of that of the city, paying taxes on several millions of real and personal property and contributing our share to the upbuilding of the community we were entitled to representation. It was shown that among the more than 2,000 employees of the Board of Education our race has not a single representative. Resolutions from the Omaha Branch of the N. A. A. C. P. requesting the appointment of teachers were presented. Mrs. Vance of the inter-racial committee of the Y. W. C. A. and chairman of the colored work of the Association, made a most effective appeal and stated that her organization was deeply interested in seeing that justice was done in this matter. Mrs. Palmer Findlay of the same organization was also present to lend her influence. Mr. S. S. Caldwell, who is deeply interested in the welfare of our people, also made an earnest address advocating such appointments. President Van Orsel assured the committee that the request would be considered by the committee on teachers. Just what the present outcome will be is problematical. SEGREGATION DEFEATS SOUTH CHATTANOOGA LOSES MEET Cleveland, O.—The fifty-third annual convention of the National Conference of Social Work, which has just closed in Cleveland, dealt prejudice a severe blow and blasted the hopes of the South for a convention of this organization as long as colored delegates are not guaranteed the same privileges and accommodations accorded others. Thus Chattanooga, although it made a persistent demand for the convention, was forced to yield to Des Moines, Ia. This National Conference of Social Work, one of the most democratic organizations, has always accorded Negro delegates just and fair consideration. Once the executive committee threatened to call off the conference when they faced New Orleans' attempt to bar Negroes from the meetings less than two weeks before the delegates were to arrive. COLORED FILM CO. ORGANIZED. St. Louis.—The Colored Motion Picture company, a motion picture organization for the filming of two-reel comedies in which colored actors and actresses play the various roles, has been organized here. The company is to be financed and headed by Morris M. Burke, a white real estate operator, with whom will be associated C. H. Turpin, the owner of the Booker T. Washington theater, and F. J. Fegan former president of the St. Louis Film Board of Trade. T. J. Ray of Hollywood will direct the pictures. Washington—The brief in his appeal contesting the validity of the Texas law under which he was prohibited from voting in the general democratic primaries in July, 1924, has been filed in the U. S. supreme court by L. A. Nixon of El Paso, Texas. Mr. Nixon contends that the statute which renders a Negro ineligible to participate in democratic primaries in the state is unconstitutional. In the federal district court for western Texas the suit which sought to recover $5,000 damages against precinct judges was dismissed on the grounds that the federal constitution and laws relating to suffrage do not apply to primaries. The case will be reached for oral argument early in the next term of the court, beginning in October. COLORED AND WHITE TEACHERS' ASSOCIATES FORM CONNECTION Tuskegee, Ala.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—The names of the personnel of two committees, one from the National Educational Association, white, and one from the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools, have just been announced. These committees are to worm one large committee of the whole whose purpose is to be the study of educational problems in their particular reference to colored students and teachers The chairman of the committee is S. L. Smith, representative of the Roesnwald Fund for colored schools. Other members of the association, white, are Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, N. C. Newbold, W. Sanders and Dr. W. T. Williams. The representatives on the committee from the National association are R. S. Grossley, president, C. J. Calloway, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Leslie Pickney Hill, Dr. F. A. Sumner. All members of the committee have been prominently identified with Negro educational work in the past, and two representatives from the white association are colored. The committee will make a report on the progress of its work at the annual session of the National Association of Teachers in Colored Schools at Hot Springs, Ark., July 28-30. BAPTISTS TO ERECT HOSPITAL New Orleans, La.—(By the Associated Negro Press)—Final arrangements have been completed for the erection of a Baptist hospital by churches of that faith in this city. A movement is also under way for the erection of a charity hospital for the care of Negro patients only, and in which Negro physicians and nurses will be employed. It is said that Negroes do not receive the treatment they deserve at the state owned and controlled hospital in his city. NEW ERA BAPTIST ASSOCIATION The New Era Baptist Association has been in session all this week at Pilgrim Baptist church with a large attendance. An interesting program has occupied the three sessions held daily. The Rev. W. F. Botts is president of the Association and Rev. I. M. Cogg. secretary. Among the striking features is the exhibit of beautiful art and handicraft work by the children and adults of several of the churches, notably Zion, which has the largest exhibit; Pilgrim and Mount Moriah. The delegates from Lincoln are the Rev. H. W. Botts, Mrs. E. J. Griffin, the Misses Ella Botts, Anna and Evelyn Johnson. The officers of the New Era Baptist Sunday school convention are H. L. Anderson, president; Charles Stewart, first vice president; H. W. Botts, Jr., second vice president; Miss Bernice Fowler, recording secretary; Mrs. Alphurn Tinsley, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Cornelius Woods, treasurer. MAN GIVEN LIFE; STRANGLED A YEAR OLD CHILD Ferriday, La.—Alex Floyd, a white man, was sentenced to life imprisonment for strangling to death a 4-year-old colored baby, Adelie LeBlack, who annoyed him while at play. He admitted the crime. DU BOIS IS RIGHT The Crisis article in the June number exposing the aims and animus of Thomas Jesse Jones' attack on "Education in Africa" is very much to the point—and is done with the frankness and fearlessness which even DuBois' opponents and even his enemies ought to appreciate. A lack of plain and honest speech is what has damned most Negro leaders. Most of them try to say it without saying it, or not to say it and yet get it said. A desire for Negro inferiority is the bedrock of all that type of "philanthropy" led by the Thomas Jesse Jones mind. These men usually pretend to believe that the Hampton-Tuskegee idea of education solely for industrial interests and purposes is the cause of all the really educated Negroes of the United States—and they make this pretense in the face of the main fact that most of the education at Hampton and all of that a Tuskegee has been conducted by Negroes who got their education in the colleges—and that Hampton what was not conducted by college-bred Negroes has been conducted by college-bred white people—which proves the same truth. As a fact, which any mind can see at a glance, the really educated American Negroes who are busy in every field of life, including those who help Thomas Jesse Jones, are not products of such schools as were Hampton and Tuskegee; they may have begun at Hampton or Tuskegee, but they had to go elsewhere to complete their education for the best service in the world. We are talking of the old Hampton and Tuskegee, of the industrial and trade-education epoch. Now, of course both of those schools are beginning to increase the very type of "literary" and higher education which Jones decries in Africa. The education of Negroes in America never could have been built on Hampton or Tuskegee. Hampton and Tuskegee had to be built on the work of fundamental education done at the schools like Atlanta and Talladega. Look up any Hampton or Tuskegee man who stands above the ordinary man in the world of achievement, and you will find that he started at Hampton or Tuskegee but went to school, or got an educating experience in other institutions or places. The only horse sense view of either Hampton or Tuskegee, especially before they began to add higher courses to their curricula, is that they are good places to begin an education, and in many instances the only places where many poor blacks could get a beginning. But to say that Hampton and Tuskegee produced all the educated people who started in them is every bit as sensible as to say that the kindergarten or the first grade produced all the educated people in the world—and then to attempt to limit all education to the kindergarten or the first grade. The African will have to fight this effort to make him the economic slave of the white world just as the American Negro has done. He will have to build and conduct schools of his own, and to join forces with the whites who believe that there is neither race nor color in real education. SPULDING SPEAKS AT FLORIDA A. & M. COMMENCEMENT Tallahassee, Fla.—C. C. Spaulding, president of the North Carolina Mutual Life Insurance company, delivered the commencement address at the Florida Agricultural and Mechanical college here Thursday morning, when 60 students received diplomas and degrees. The speaker took as his subject, "What Kind of Education." He answered the question as he developed the theme, "That education which fits one for service is the only kind of education there is." The returns from Iowa, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Oregon show, as we have predicted, that Coolidge has no cinch on the renomination. Let us boom a Nebraska man.

GROWING THANK YOU! 7 Whole Number 565 CASE NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL APPEALS FOR AID IN REBUILDING Excellent Institution for Education of Women and Girls Destroyed by Fire, Needs Money. NANNIE BURROUGHS PRAISED Work of Founder and President Is Warmly Commended by Members of Both Races. Washington, June 11.—The National Training School for Women and Girls, of which Mis Nannie H. Burroughs is president, was virtually destroyed by fire last week. The damage done was only partially covered by insurance, and steps are being taken now to raise a $100,000 fund for rebuilding the structure. Dr. Carter G. Woodson, director of the Association for the Study of Negro Life and History, and editor of The Journal of Negro History, is interested in the appeal sent out by Miss Burroughs. Dr. Woodson states that in view of the fact that the National Training School for Women and Girls is the only one of its kind north of Richmond, Va., the public should generously support the movement to rebuild the main building at least. The cost for this structure, to be of brick, says Dr. Woodson, would be about $100,000. High tribute is paid to Miss Burroughs because of her great effort on behalf of this school, and prominent citizens of both races say she has had tremendous struggle in financing the institution. The school is incorporated and has a splendid board of trustees. The Evening Star one of the leading papers of the country, states that it will acknowledge through its columns receipt of funds for the purpose of erecting a new building, and contributions may also be sent to the Washington Loan and Trust company. In speaking of the place filled by Miss Burroughs and her work, Dr. Woodson concludes: "The National Training School meets a need which neither the public schools nor a university can supply. In the first place, this institution makes no effort to compete with local institutions. The school, as its name implies, is a national institution. The girls attending this school come from all parts of the country. Its students are drawn frof families preferring to educate their daughters under the influences which are not exerted in public schools or universities. Furthermore being the only school for Negro girls in the United States, north of Richmond, Va., it should appeal to philanthropists as an excellent opportunity for supporting a very necessary piece of educational work among the several million Negroes who live outside of the South." COUNCIL BLUFFS NOTES Mrs. Daisy Williams left for Rock Island, Ill., to visit friends. Mrs. J. P Jackson is home from the hospital, and doing nicely. Mrs. Nannie Rudd is home.

HEAD of Nebraska An Astute, Able, Clear-headed Business Man SEIZE OPPORTUNITIES AND MAKE OTHERS AMONG the very many excellent things that Clarence Darrow said in his recent address before the students of Fisk University was this, "The Negro must develop whatever field he finds open and make new fields." Here is advice to seize present opportunities and make others. This is the key to all progress and success. He who declines to do what he can do because he can not find opportunity to do all he wants to do or that which he prefers to do is foredoomed to failure. It is true that many doors of opportunity are closed to members of our race, but while this is true, it is equally true that there are many fields of honorable endeavor and achievement open to us. These may not be the fields in which we prefer to work, but they offer the opportunity for service and sustenance, for labor and livelihood; and they should be eagerly entered and diligently tilled. In doing this we are developing ourselves and making other opportunities. Whatever field of opportunity offers should be developed to the fullest extent of our capacity. The ore must be taken from the mine before it is refined. The work of him who digs and hid who refines is equally important. Seize present opportunities; develop them to the fullest capacity and make others. This is the law of all success and progress and we cannot evade it. "THE FRIENDS THOU HAST" "The friends thou hast and their affection tried, grapple them to thy soul with hoops of steel." This is the wise advise one of Shakespeare's characters gives to his son as a motto that may guide him throughout his life. There are those among our people who foolishly and absurdly contend that no members of the white group are friends of our people. How any one with an ounce of sense can seriously make such a statement passes our understanding. It is the child of ignorance and prejudice as baneful and soul-blighting as that which our people complain of as being shown by white people.

The lot of our people in this country would be most intolerable if it were not for the fact that there are thousands of white people who are the sincere friends of our people, because they are lovers of humanity. Such friends are to be found in every section of this land. Their affection has been tried and proven true. Wherever and whenever they are found, our affection for them and our character and conduct should be such as to grapple them to our soul with hoops of steel. Polonius's advice to Laeretes is good advice for us all to lay to heart and follow in reference to proven friends. Think upon these words: "The friends thou hast, and their affection tried, grapple to thy soul with hoops of steel." UNITING IT gives promise of obtaining results when our people present such a united front as did the representative committee which appeared before the Board of Education last Monday night to petition that body to give employment to colored teachers in the public schools of Omaha. The committee embraced practically all our people in this city. A committee of this kind, or perhaps the same committee, should be made permanent and enlarged to present, wisely and intelligently, our demands for recognition in the public utilities and other activities, municipal and industrial, of our city. United action will count. It looks very much like we are learning this much-needed lesson.

THE MONITOR EMILIE GOURD IS MOST EMINENT OF SWISS WOMEN Leader of Feminist Movement in Little Republic and Head of Most Activities of Women. Geneva.—If women voted in Switzerland and were asked to cast their ballot for the most eminent in their confederation, there doubtless would be a flood of votes for Emile Gourd, who personifies dynamic activity in all movements for the public welfare. Miss Gourd of Geneva is editor of the Feminist Movement, the official organ of the national alliance of Swiss feminist societies. Women of Switzerland are permitted to vote only in certain municipalities on questions touching religion and education. Hence they are waging a persistent campaign to obtain the general franchise right. The leader in this movement does not expect the new Swiss parliament to play an important role in suffragett history, but the struggle will go on. "Our tactics are to win over to the cause of woman's suffrage first one canton and then another canton," Miss Gourd said. "Which canton will come to us first I know not. The big test will come when the voters as a whole as a federal body will be asked to decide whether women are to vote in Switzerland." Miss Gourd was born in Geneva in 1879, the daughter of J. J. Gourd, well-known philosopher and professor at the University of Geneva. At an early age she herself became a professor in the private high schools and later was made secretary and then vice president of the Union of Women of Geneva. In 1914 she founded and personally directed a sewing circle for women whom the World war rendered homeless and workless—a circle which continues its usefulness to this day by providing employment for needy women. Miss Gourd has directed several investigations into social problems affecting the welfare of women, presided over the Geneva exposition, which was devoted to showing what Geneva women are achieving in practical production, and was foremost in insisting that two women should be appointed as assistant police officials at Geneva. In 1908 she became secretary of the National Alliance of Swiss Women Societies and later, as president of the Geneva Association for Woman Suffrage, launched a popular movement in favor of extending the franchise to women. Then followed election as secretary of the International Alliance for Woman Suffrage, and for it organized at Geneva the eighth international woman suffrage congress. She is now the representative of this organization to the League of Nations and the international labor office on all subjects of interest to women. Despite this activity, Miss Gourd has written several worth-while volumes in addition to her daily journalistic output. Mourns for His Master Paris.—When one rings the bell at the door of the little house at Rochefort where Pierre Loti was born in 1850, he is greeted by probably the most melancholy man in the world. Auguste, Pierre Loti's valet for 20 years, acts as if still under the spell of his master's demise and as if the funeral had taken place only yesterday. With tears welling, he refused the visitor's request to "take a peep at the master's workroom." "They are sacred things and must not be disturbed," he says, without any apologies, but withal respectfully. Sadly, but firmly, he declines to entertain any insistent request and even the at- Mr. William Stork has been associated with the Hartman Furniture Company for many years.

Remember the place—Hartman's—on 16th Street near Harney. —Adv. Pierre Loti's Servant PETER B. HARRIS traction of a well-rounded tip fails to shake his determination. Loti, a taciturn, moody man, never cared to receive guests unless they found favor in his eyes and had been specially invited on account of their good listening qualities. "My master did not want to be disturbed when he was alive, and I am sure that he would resent now the intrusion of strangers into his home," the valet said without asperity, but with finality. High Living Kills Deer Haneock, N. Y.—High living and lack of exercise resulted in the untimely death of a buck deer on the Baxter farm at Horton, N. Y., a few miles from here. Four weeks ago, during a snowfall, a deer stalled in a snow bank on the Baxter farm and when rescued was exhausted. Taken to the barn, he seemed too weak to eat until Mrs. Baxter tried some hot buckwhent cakes with butter and sugar on them, and for these he "fell," and soon became himself again. His presence and odd diet attracted visitors, who tried all sorts of dainties on him, improving his spirits and enlarging his girth. After four weeks of high living in the Baxter barn he was about the handsomest buck ever seen in these parts. After a four-course dinner, with fudge and bonbons for dessert, he spent a restless night, and died at daybreak.

A tonic that makes the old feel young and keeps the young youthful. To excite the glands without building up the body is almost criminal. The purpose of 909—Bar—Col—909 is to build up the whole body and then the glands will function as in days of youth; therefore it is a tonic that makes the old feel young and keeps the young youthful. It strengthens the bronchial tubes and lungs against colds and pneumonia. It stimulates the weak and palpitating heart and re- stores the organ to normal conditions. The liver, feeling the impulse, becomes greatly more active. It relieves constipation and the bowels perform regu- larly. The kidneys are stimulated to perform their natural functions without pain or distress and regularly. All of the glands are thoroyghly washed out and ve- stored to youthful activity; therefore a person of 60 years or more regains the pep and vigor of a person of 35 years, and a person of 40 years regains the pep, vigor and vtiality of a person of 20 or 25 years of age. All of this is the purpose of 909—Bar—Col—909 and in its use its purpose is fulfilled to the letter. 909—Bar—Col—909 is an expensive and high lass preparation. Some of the ingredients in these tablets cost $480 per pound, and other ingredients in proportion. Agents wanted—male and female. Good money for gents.

B, Scott, president of the National Safety council, announced. — Kitorts will be made to reduce the number of child accidents which during 1925 re sulted in the deaths of 21,000 boys and girls. More than 7,000 youngsters were killed on the streets and high- ways and at least 30 times as many Injured, stated President Scott. Child deaths from burns last year totaled nearly 5,000, ‘The remainder were the result of falls, poison, asphyxiation, suffocation and miscellaneous causes, “The chief cause of all accidents is carelessness or thoughtlessness,” de- clared President Scott. “A great many, probably a majority of child ac- cidents, are due wholly or in part to the thoughtlessness or ignorance of the child. To stop these accidents we must not only have law enactment and enforcement and more careful driving on the part of motorists but we must also instruct the children—not simply tell them to ‘be careful’ but make them understand the hazards of mod- ern life and how to avoid them. An educational campafgn of this kind will be conducted by our 65 affiliated community safety councils whose of- ficers will stage special meetings for both parents and teachers, deliver ap- propriate radio talks and circulate timely literature. “During the present school term millions of children have been receiy- ing safety Instruction In both paro- chial and public schools. We are g0- ing to continue this kind of work dur- ing the summer months when we aim to have safety talks delivered at parks and playgrounds, public swimming places, motion picture theaters, etc., where children assemble during vaca- tion days, Constructive work of this character should result in a decrease in the number of child accidents.” ee ee Wins Certificate as “King of Hodcarriers” AEE re 3 y a 2 i} A — Andrew Etorio of New York paus- ing in work to be notified that he would be awarded the “certificate of craftsmanship” by the New York Building congress, making him unof. ficial “king of hod carriers." ‘Twenty years of steady, strenuous work at his craft earned him the champion: ship for brick-cargving. Alaskan Train Crew Composed of Bankers Anchorage, Alaska.—Uncle Sam's Alusku railroad is one where the prin cipal members of the passenger crew are bankers. ‘The regular passenger train be tween Seward and Curry has the pres ident of the First National bank of Anchorage as its conductor, a director In the same bank sits on the right side of the cab, while a heavy stockholder in the same Institution Is fireman. A lesser stockholder places the step for passengers to alight from the couches. The bank to which these railroaders ure attached is controlled and financed almost exclusively by railroad em- ployees, ranging from section men to high officials of the operating staf. Frank Knight, the president, is a vet- eran conductor who came to Alaska with the building of the railroad. Charles Matheson, director and heavy stockholder, 18 an old-time engineer. He ulso came north with the rail- rond. ‘There are more than 1,500 depos- ftors in the bank, which has a cap- ital stock of $50,000 and approximate- Jy $600,000 in deposits, Find Ancient Cistern Jerusalem.—A cistern into which it is believed Ishmael threw the body of {iedaliah after murdering him ts be- lieved to have been unearthed with the city wall of Mizpah, erected in the bronze age before the occupation of Palestine by the Israelites, CROPS OF 1926 TOUGH PROBLEM western railroads are running a race to see which can swamp the other. ‘The farmers expect to harvest mil lions 6f bushels of grain, and the rail- roads are spending millions of dollars getting ready to handle one of the very biggest farm crops in thelr expe: rience. Nebraska Is promising between 50, 000,000 and 70,000000 bushels of wheat for the railroads to handle; Kansas is assuring them of something ike 200,000,000 bushels, Oklahoma ex- pects to harvest around 40,000,000 bushels, and Towa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota will swell the total by hundreds of millions, In corn, Nebraska will furnish the railroads around 200,000,000 bushels, minus that portion of the crop which will be eaten by Nebraska hogs and cattle, which, in their turn, will pro- vide big traffic for the railroads; Iowa Is looking forward to something lke 850,000,000 to 400,000,000 bushels ; Kan: sus will produce near to 190,000,000, and additional millions will be raised by other western states Oats Also Considerable Item. AS for outs, some 410,000,000 C0 500,- 000,000 bushels can be counted on from these western states, And then there is the frult from California, Oregon, Idaho, Washing ton, Colorado, Nebraska; potatoes from Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Iowa and Kansas; sugar beets and sugar from Nebraske, Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, ete. live stock from. all these states, and the general produe- tion, including dairying, as well. Added to this ix the tremendous traffic which Is shipped into the great trans-Mississippi country — automo: biles, farm implements, and the thou sand and one articles which the west- erners must buy and the railroads to transport them As soon as the railroads saw all these prospects for big crops under way, they started their preparations to take care of the immense traftic which would be forthcoming, ‘The Wabash ruilroud must have seen an immense increuse in the auto- mobile business, for that railroad alone ordered 2,000 extra automobile freight curs in December, and these cars are just now being delivered, ready for the spring business. The Wabash already owned about 6,000 automobile cars, Coast Fruit Traffic Gaining. A big increase In the fruit traffic from the Pacific coust ix foreseen by the Pacific Fruit express, the frult- carrying line owned by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific railroads jointly. In January the Pacific Fruit express ordered 5,043 refrigerator cars to add to ite already big fleet of refrigera- tors. These cars will be delivered in time for the fruit crop thix year. The Santa Fe railroad has under order 1,200 refrigerators for this year's fruit trade, and the Northwestern Re- frigerator line hax just ordered 1,000 of the same class cars for the 1926 business. Since Inst November, western rail- roads have ordered 12,60) freight cars for this yeur's crop movement. One thousand of these went to the Union Pacific, 1,000 to the Burlington, 1,800 to the Southern Pacific, 2,500 to the Missouri Pacific, 1,000 to the Northern Pacific, 1,700 Lo the Frisco ronte, 1,000 to the Santa Fe, 600 to the Soo line, 2,000 to the Wabash, and the remain- der to scattering lines. For the 1926 trade there have been so far ordered by western railroads 1,900 gondola cars, 500 hoppers, 250 stock cars und 500 general-service cars, In the way of motive power, the western railronds have ordered 155 locomotives of various types for use this year. ‘The Missourl Pacific leads the list with 55. Big Union Pacific Engines. ‘The Union Pacitic has designed and is having built ten huge three-cylinder locomotives, euch more than 100 feet jong and cupuble of hauling # train of 100 loaded cars across the mountains from Cheyenne to Ogden at a rate of 50 miles an hour. ‘This big “Union Pacific type” Is the biggest departure in locomotives In 25 years. ‘The remaining locomotives of the 155 ordered are divided between a number of lines, ‘The Nebraska wheat crop alone will fill 1,000 trains of 50 cars each, with each car louded with 1,200 bushels, while the Nebraska corn crop will loud 2,000 trains of 50 cars each, 1,500 busbelx to the car. ’ Prospects now are that every one of the freight cars the western rail- roads have ordered will be filled time after time by these western farmers when their 1926 wheat, corn, oats, live stock, potatoes, fruit, sugar beets and other farm products get under way to market, and will be filled time and Will Do It Right New York.—The mayor is unper- turbed by the kissing of Mrs. Walker n each chee’ by the burgomaster of Mons, When she returns home she will be kissed In the correct manner bf Snseccmehen Hea’ acta.
