Jack Johnson, Ex-Champ, Arrested Here LIFTING LIFT TOO $2.00 a Year—5 Cents a Copy Jack J FOUR DELEGATES TO BAPTIST CONVENTION IN AUTO ACCIDENT Three Omaha Pastors and One Layman Narrowly Escape Death in Bad Automobile Accident Near Dennison WRECK MACHINE COMPLETELY The Rev. Z. C. McGee, pastor of Pleasant Green Baptist church; the Rev. E. H. McDonald, deputy oil inspector; and the Rev. C. B. Burton, pastor of Mount Moriah Baptist church, and Henry Fletcher, an active layman of Mount Moriah had an almost miraculous escape from death when the car in which they were en route to Detroit, Mich, went over an embankment three miles west of Dennison, Iowa, about half past 8 o'clock Monday morning and was completely wrecked. The Rev. Mr. McGee was the most seriously injured, receiving a broken collar bone, and the fracture of a small bone in both legs. The Rev. Mr. McDonald received painful lacerations, but had no bones broken, as was also the case with Mr. Fletcher. The Rev. Mr. Burton received head injuries, which, however, were not sufficiently serious to confine him to the hospital. The four men were brought by train to Omaha and sent to Lord Lister hospital, where three of them are receiving excellent care and doing quite well. Mr. Burton was able to go home. The party left Omaha at 3:30 Monday morning in Mr. Fletcher's Nash sedan, en route to Detroit, Mich., where they were going as delegates to the national Baptist convention, of which the Rev. Dr. McDonald has been the assistant secretary for several years. Mr. Fletcher was driving and the Rev. Mr. Burton was seated beside him. Drs. McDonald and McGee were riding in the back seat. The car was making about 35 miles an hour when it ran into gravel, skidded and went over a 20-foot embankment, breaking down a telegraph pole and completely demolishing the machine. Dr. McGee was dragged from the wreckage unconscious and badly hurt. Why they were not all killed was considered miraculous by spectators who saw the accident and viewed the wrecked car. When seen at the hospital Tuesday afternoon both Mr. McDonald and Dr. McGee said that it was only by an act of Providence that all were not killed. Though suffering much pain all the patients were most cheerful. A MILLION DOLLAR PLANT Secretary of National Baptist Pub lishing Board Makes Annual Report Denver, Colo. — (Special) — Disseminating literature of religious thought that spreads the gospel of the lowly Nazarene and helps to indoctrinate the young folks in the Baptist faith, was the keynote of the report of the secretary of the National Baptist Publishing Board, made here this week by Henry Allen Boyd, who was regarded as the pioneer among the Baptists and as a builder and a constructive genius. The report of Rev. Mr. Boyd showed that more than a quarter of a million dollars worth of business had been done by the institution at Nashville during the past year, by this one million dollar plant, as it is invoiced for that amount. His report further showed that the circulation in periodicals, books, pamphlets of a religious nature, passed the twelve million mark during 1927. LOS ANGELES TO HAVE COLORED COUNTRY CLUB Los Angeles, Calif.—Word has been received here of the sale of the $300,000 Parkridge Country Club to a colored resort syndicate of the city of Los Angeles. It is said that the club will be converted into an amusement resort for colored citizens of Los Angeels. THE MONITOR JACK JOHNSON, EX-WORLD CHAMPION, ARRESTED BUT DISCHARGED Jack Johnson, ex-world heavyweight pugilistic champion, came to Omaha Monday, to act as second for Leo Diebel, of Chicago, matched against Willie (Young) L. Stribling, of Macon, Ga., in a ten-round bout at the city auditorium Monday night. The referee declared the bout "no contest" in the sixth round and declared it off. Patrons were demanding their money back. Messrs. Diebel and Stribling were arrested and charged with staging a fake fight. It seems that Jack Johnson, not knowing Chief of Detectives Ben Danbaum, told that officer that he could not arrest the men, raised the little chief's ire and he ordered Johnson arrested also. The trio were lodged in jail over night, but gave bonds Tuesday morning and were released until their trial Wednesday morning at 9 o'clock. The police court was crowded. Johnson was charged with aiding in a fake fight. Attorney A. V. Shotwell represented the defendants. Diebel and Stribling were found guilty by Judge Dineen and fined $100. Jack Johnson was dismissed. The case has been appealed. In the opinion of several spectators the opinion was expressed that the evidence against the fighters did not seem to justify the judge's verdict, and it was difficult to understand why if one second was chargeable with aiding and abetting a fake or sham fight, the other second, William L. Stribling, sr., was not also arrested with Johnson. DENVER ENTERTAINING BAPTISTS National Baptist Convention of Amer ica Invades Rocky Mountain City—Large Dele- zation Denver, Colo.—(Special)—Carrying the gospel to the people in foreign lands, Christianizing folks at home, and fostering religious education under the auspices of their particular denomination, were three of the outstanding features of the National Baptist Convention of America, presided over by J. Edmund Wood of Danville, Kentucky, which opened its 1927 convention at the Zion Baptist Church, this city on Wednesday morning. It was the first time in the history of Denver that this city had lifted its gates and thrown open its doors to a national convention of Baptists. The convention controls, through its boards, a million-dollar publishing house at Nashville, Tenn., with Henry Allen Boyd as its secretary; one hundred and sixty acres of land in Dexter, New Mexico, recently donated for Baptist use, one Baptist Church in Key West, Florida, four acres of ground at Monks Grove, S.C., property and churches in Panama valued at twenty-five thousand dollars, and a large tract of land donated by the Liberian government of Liberia, W. C. A., and a theological and 'training seminary at Nashville, with five acres of ground on which there are located two brick buildings, with electric lights, steam heat, sewerage connections and within the incorporate limits of that city. The combined reports of the convention show that approximately two million dollars are represented in assets, with but little indebtedness. FILE SUITS FOR $80,000 AGAINST CITY OF DETROIT Detroit, Mich. — Suits totaling $80,000 have been filed against the City of Detroit by Mrs. Corinne Banks and Mrs. May Makle, prominent citizens here, for injuries suffered in street car accidents. Attorney Van Lowe is acting as counsel for both. Mrs. May was injured when her automobile was struck by a street car and Mrs. Banks was injured as she was alighting from a street car. The former asks $25,000 in her suit while the latter seeks $55,000. OMAHA, NEBRASKA, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1927 "JACK" BROOMFIELD, A VICTIM OF HEART'S DISEASE, DIES HERE John H. "Jack" Broomfield, aged 62, died at his late residence, 2124 Lake street, Wednesday afternoon at 5:30, succumbing to heart trouble with which he had been afflicted for the past two years. His condition became critical about two weeks ago and hope of his recovery was slight. He was cheerful and sunny to the end which came quietly and peacefully, his chief regret during his last days being that he had to be denied the privilege of seeing many of his friends who were anxious to call. John H. Broomfield was born at Savannah, Mo., June 2, 1865, being one of a large family. At the age of 18 he moved to Red Oak, Ia., where he worked on a ranch for several years. He then entered the Pullman service and lost a leg in a train wreck. After recovery from this accident, he came to Omaha in 1887 and worked at hotels and various other jobs about the city, until 1899 when he and the late Billy Crutchfield formed a partnership and took over the ownership and operation of the Midway saloon and resort at Twelfth street and Capitol avenue, which like similar resorts, at that time popular among certain classes, prospered. The Midway become known from coast to coast as a saloon and resort at which patrons could be served with any drink known and could risk their money on faro, roulette, dice and other games of chance that threw Monte Carlo in the discard. A list of the patrons of the Midway in the heyday of its glory would be a startling revelation of the vices and weaknesses of many men prominent in America's business and professional world. Two or three unusual rules were enforced by Broomfield in this place. One was not to permit a man with a family or minors to gamble there and another was not to sell drinks to a drunken man. A large sign was prominently displayed which read: "If you have a family that needs your money, don't gamble here." From the time he became a partner in the Midway he became active in the politics of the old Third Ward which was considered the pivotal ward of the city. There is no doubt that it wielded a tremendous influence, but it wielded this influence because of its affiliation with the "higher ups," in the "more respectable" wards. And Broomfield was a powerful influence in the Third Ward, because the political powers knew that he was absolutely on the square and that his word was his bond. Moreover, he spent his own money liberally in financing campaigns. Because there was a large Negro population in the Third Ward, it was generally considered among white people that Broomfield was the political leader and representative of the entire Negro population, which, of course was not true. That he was a political power among his race cannot be disputed and that he deserved the influence by loyalty to what he conceived to be their best interests must be conceded. Broomfield had known poverty and hunger. This made him sympathetic LIBERIAN EXECUTIVE IS HONORED BY POPE PIUS New York, N. Y.—A press dispatch received here from Rome, Italy, says that President Charles D. B. King of the little Negro republic of Liberia was received Friday by Pope Pius, who conferred on him a commemorative gold medal. After the decorating of President King by the Pope, members of the Liberian executive's suite were received, and after this reception, President King visited Mgr. Francesco Borgongini Duda, secretary of extraordinary affairs at the Vatican. to any man or woman in want. He said more than once: "I know what it is to be hungry, and I mean what I say, hungry, almost starved. And say, I never can resist helping a man, who says he is hungry. He may be lying to me, but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and I would give my last nickel or the last piece of bread I've got to a hungry man or woman. It goes to my heart," and tears filled his eyes as he spoke, "to have anyone tell me he is hungry. And old people, and little children, God, how it hurts me to see them suffer. I wish I was a rich man so that I could help every old person in this city, black or white, who is in need." And this was not mere talk, he meant it. This statement from his lips reveals the heart of gold which beat within the breast of Jack Broomfield. In the days of his poverty he would give his last cent to help somebody whom he considered worse off than himself and in the days of his prosperity his purse and heart were open to all calls for help. He has paid rent and furnished food and fuel for scores of families during hard winters. He frequently said, "My religion is to try to help somebody." Not a bad creed. Broomfield wisely invested his money, that he didn't give away, in real estate and business ventures, like the Peoples' Drug store, which at Dr. J. H. Hutten's request, he joined with him in purchasing, in order that employment might be given to a young colored pharmacist, a graduate of Creighton, who could not find employment in his line in Omaha. His investments have proven profitable and he leaves a modest fortune reputed to be around $50,000. He at one time owned stock in the Blackstone hotel, this city, and in similar enterprises. Mr. Broomfield is survived by one son, Leroy C., proprietor of the Peoples' Drug store and also in the real estate business, in which his father had also been interested in the last few years; three brothers, Levi, of Omaha; Nathan of Chicago; George of St. Louis, and other relatives. With Mr. Broomfield at the time of his death were his son and daughter-in-law, and William H. "Bob" Robinson, his secretary for many years, who came from Chicago, his present home, Wednesday morning. Mr. Broomfield was baptized about a month ago by the Kev. Father John Albert Williams, rector of the Church of St. Philip the Deacon, between whom and the deceased there had existed a warm personal friendship for many years. Mr. Broomfield was a member of the Elks, under whose auspices his funeral will be held Saturday afternoon. The Elks will hold their services at Myers' funeral home at 1 o'clock Saturday afternoon, after which they will escort the remains to St. Philip's Episcopal church, where the office for the burial of the dead, according to the ritual of the Episcopal Church, will be said by Rev. John Albert Williams. Interment will be at Forest Lawn. Cardinal Pietro Gasparri, Papal secretary, being absent. President King left for him the Cordon of the Grand Order of Liberation and received from Mgr. Borgongini Duda the Grand Cross of the Order of Piety conferred on him by the Pope. AMBROSE CALIVER IS NEW DEAN OF FISK UNIVERSITY Nashville, Tenn.—For the first time in its history, Fisk University has a colored American as a dean. The distinction goes to Prof. Ambrose Caliver, who was named to the post by President Elsa Jones. Dean Caliver has been connected with the deans' office for a number of years, serving as acting dean during the period of reconstruction at Fisk University. Vol. XIII—No. 10 GEORGIA ENACTS "SAVAGE" LAW PROHIBITING INTER- RACIAL MARRIAGE New York, Sept. 2—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has received copies of the Baltimore Sun reporting the enactment by Georgia of a "savage" law requiring registration of the ancestry of every person in the state in order to prevent the marriage of persons of Negro and white antecedents. The bill was passed in the last session of the legislature and has been signed by Governor L. G. Hardman. Enforcement of the law rests with the state health department, and it is required that the state health officer prepare printed forms on which every citizen of the state must give available information as to the race of his ancestors and any mixture which may have occurred, failure to give correct information punishable as a felony. Marriage licenses may be refused if proof of the "racial purity" of the applicants is not on file, and the belief is expressed that the law will cause many residents of Georgia to journey to other states in order to be married. Commenting editorially on this new Georgia anti-intermarriage law, the Baltimore Sun says: "Altogether, it is one of the most savage laws relating to marriage ever enacted. Yet, we are informed, 'Such a measure is absolutely necessary in Georgia, according to its advocates, if white blood is to be kept pure.'" "We hear this with mild surprise. We had labored under the impression that white people in Georgia are opposed to marrying Negroes. We had no idea that savage laws are required to prevent them from doing so." YOUNG WOMAN HOLDS RESPONSIBLE POSITION WITH PROMINENT FIRM Miss Marguerite Horne of Duluth, who spent her vacation here last week as the guest of her aunt, Mrs. Reuben Moore and other relatives, and is always a welcome guest in this city where her early childhood was spent, holds a very responsible position with a leading business firm in Duluth. She is head cashier for the Silberstein and Bondy Company, dealers in ladies' apparel and caterers to Duluth's most exclusive trade. Miss Horne has been in the employ of this firm for 16 years. She was first employed as a maid for two or three years and the firm, noticing that she was apt, neat and intelligent, frequently permitted her to assist in the office. Then she was put on the switch board for a few months and later taken into the office where she has been employed, for ten years first as assistant cashier and then promoted to head cashier, which position she has successfully held now for several years. Miss Horne owes her rather unique position to a happy combination of circumstances: first, to her own ability and faithfulness to her employers, and secondly, to the most fortunate fact, that she is employed by a firm like that of Silberstein and Bondy which has the courage to recognize and reward ability, faithfulness and loyalty by well-merited promotion. J. FINLEY WILSON BEGINS 6TH TERM AS ELKS HEAD New York, N. Y.—The Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World closed one of the most successful conventions in its history in this city recently when J. Finley Wilson of Washington, D. C., was reelected grand exalted ruler for the sixth consecutive term. Chicago was chosen as the meeting place for the next convention of the organization, after Detroit's warm bid for next year's convention was defeated. Mr. and Mrs. Hiram R. Greenfield of Dundee are vacationing at the beautiful country home of Mr. and Mrs. Roy Florence at Missouri Valley, Iowa, for the week. The Greenfields motored down, leaving home Tuesday morning. GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 632 NEGRO, PRIZE WINNING ARTIST, WILL STUDY ABROAD Trip Is Financed Through Award From Harmon Foundation, the Sale of Pictures and a Contribution from Otto H. Kahn New York—Hal Woodruff, a 27-year-old Negro artist of Indianapolis, Ind., sailed for Europe Saturday, September 3rd, on the Paris, his two years of study in France, Italy and Spain financed by the winning of a recent award in art, the promised sale of pictures yet to be painted and a contribution from Otto H. Kahn of New York. Sketching since he was a small child, Woodruff received his first national recognition last December when he was given the second award in art of the William E. Harmon Awards for Distinguished Achievement Among Negroes. This was in the first year of a series of awards which the Harmon Foundation of New York is granting for outstanding creative contributions by American Negroes. Entries for this year's awards in the fields of art, literature, education, religious service, music, science, business and race relations closed on August 15th. In his nomination to second place, Woodruff's work, as well as that of candidates in all the other fields of award, was compared with the finest of its kind which had been achieved by white artists and judged by a group of persons eminent in the world of art. He received $100 and a bronze medal. This money formed the nucleus for a fund which he hoped to raise for a long desired European trip. His work first as a janitor in the colored Y. M. C. A. at Indianapolis and later as membership secretary gave him little extra funds over what was needed to carry on his study in the John Herron Art Institute. Most of the five paintings which he submitted for the Harmon Award he was able to sell and an exhibit in the Leiber Galleries at Indianapolis led Herman Leiber, the owner, to promise to sell to the extent of one a month such pictures as Woodruff might paint while in Europe. This nearly completed his financial arrangements for study while abroad, the final assistance being given by Otto H. Kahn of New York, who learned of Woodruff from Walter White, assistant secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Woodruff sailed in a third class cabin. His plans after his arrival are as yet indefinite, but he will first get in touch with Palmer C. Hayden, a colored Greenwich Village housecleaner, who won the first Harmon Award in Art and was subsequently financed for two years' study abroad through a gift of $3,000 from an anonymous individual. Hale Woodruff hopes to continue his work in landscapes on which he has already specialized. He was born in Cario, Ill. His father's death when he was a small child threw the burden of support upon his mother, who has been employed as a cook in New York and other cities. She is now the matron of a colored hospital at Los Angeles, California. Woodruff himself worked his way through grammar and high school, doing odd jobs and waiting on table. WATERS-BARNHART PRINTING COMPANY DAMAGED BY FIRE The plant of the Waters-Barnhart Printing Company, 414-16 South Thirteenth street, was badly damaged by fire of unknown origin on Monday afternoon. The fire was fortunately confined to the stock and press room where the damage was heavy. The loss is estimated at $40,000. This company has printed The Monitor ever since its first issue, July 2, 1915. Despite the heavy handicap under which it has worked, Waters Barnhart have succeeded in getting out its usual publications and other work.

SUPPOSE THEY WERE NEGROES Two white youths, each aged 20, plead guilty to rape or "perversion," of three sisters, aged 9, 7, and 4, mere children and were sentenced by Judge Fitzgerald Tuesday morning to two years in the state reformatory. The daily newspapers gave practically no notice to this crime of degeneracy, and perhaps it is just as well that they did not. We cannot, however, refrain from wondering how it would have been were these degenerate youths black instead of white. Just suppose they had been Negroes. JOHN H. BROOMFIELD In the death of John H. Broomfield, Omaha has lost a warm hearted and generous citizen, and our people have lost one who deeply loved his race. Yes, he was an ex-saloon keeper and all that, but he was every inch a man. He had his faults, but who is faultless? He had his sins, but who is sinless? In our opinion, and we knew him well, in the book of golden deeds his name will be written large among those who loved to help their fellow men. There are many among the poor and needly, irrespective of race or creed, who will gratefully remember the kindly help of one who has been called to meet his Maker, "Who knoweth whereof we are made, and rewardeth every man according to his works." "TALKED TOO MUCH" "Jack" Johnson was in Omaha this week. He received much publicity and was subjected to an unnecessary arrest. The explanation given for his arrest was that "he talked too much." A grave and serious charge! If everybody who talks too much were Church Rev sent to jails our jails would have to be of prodigious size. There was no sense, reason or justice in the arrest of Jack Johnson Monday night. It was a case of stupid bungling. Bennie Danbaum, our rather diminutive, but able and proficient chief of detectives, lost his temper and that alone is the secret of Jack Johnson's arrest. Johnson's prompt discharge in police court proves there was no just reason for even his temporary detention, even though he may have talked too much when he said, as it is alleged, "See here, little man, you can't arrest these fellows." "THERE WILL BE" A prominent and successful physician was driving us past Technical High school last Monday morning just as the splendid body of Omaha's school teachers were coming out. They were, indeed, a fine, well-dressed, nice-looking intelligent crowd, from those of the flapper type to the more staid, stately and dignified "traditional sch o o l marm," what few there were of these. Our friend said: "I suppose in that group there are representatives of all nationalities, but one, and that is the one of the colored people. There is not a colored teacher in that whole crowd, is there?" Our reply was, "No, not one." "That's a shame. Why? There ought to be." We agreed with our friend and said, "There will be." And THERE WILL BE. Just as certain as there is a God in Heaven. There are enough broad-minded men and women on the Board of Education to see to it that this "shame," as our friend expressed it, and injustice is righted. THE MONITOR Forty-three boy scouts enjoyed a 10-day period at Camp Gifford, from August 17 to August 30. The largest number was from Troop 79, the next largest from Troop 23, and the others from Troops 86 and 33. Scoutmaster T. P. Mahammitt and Assistant Scoutmaster Martin Thomas as spent the whole period in camp with the boys. Scoutmaster Davis spent part time there. This was Mr. Mahammitt's sixth consecutive year at camp. Sunday, August 28, a large number of visitors, including parents, relatives and friends of the scouts visited the camp and were present when the various honors were given out. Several boys received all the diamonds, diamond shaped pieces of cloth of various colors, indicative of proficiency in different matters such as table manners, cleanliness, obedience, swimming, etc. The highest award, the black diamond, was given Joseph Chetham of Troop 23, as being the outstanding scout of the year's camp. Sunday, August 21, Supt. John H. Beveridge delivered a fine address to the boys at their morning service, and Father John Albert Williams conducted the religious services for the camp at 10:30, August 28, speaking on the subject of "Duty Towards God." Mrs. Lulu Burks returned home last Tuesday, after a stay with her husband in Denver, Colo. Rev. H. W. Botts, Mrs. E. J. Griffin, left Monday for Detroit, Mich, where they attend the National Baptist Convention. Mr. Louis Swingler of Tulsa, Okla., returned to the city Sunday to re-enter the state university. Mrs. Eva Carter returned home from camping in the north. Mrs. P. L. Moore, Misses Ella N. Botts, Evelyn and Anna Johnson, motored to Omaha and returned Sunday. The public schools will open Monday, September 12. The State Fair is on with a booming success. Record fair and attendance is predicted. SPANISH AMERICAN VETS MEET Detroit, Mich.—(Special)—Hundreds of colored ex-service men were in line in the gigantic parade of the Spanish American War Veterans which marched through the principal streets of the city Thursday on the second day of the convention of the organization. Adams' New Novelty Orchestra returned Thursday from a very successful month's tour of the Black Hills country. Mrs. Ida Moore and daughter, Dorothy, of Sedalia, Mo., were house guests of their cousin, Mrs. C. Vincent, 1438 North 20th street, last week. LINCOLN MARKET is still drawing crowds.

IF NOT, SEE HICKS 435-37-39 Keeline Building, Atlantic Residence 3012 Miami Street, Webs PAGE THREE PAGE FOUR Everlasting Fires in Few regions are more remarkable than those near the Caspian sea. The waters of the sea once stretched far north and joined the Arctic ocean, but now, after countless ages, they have receded to their present limits. Vast stretches of waste and barren land are left where the waters once extended—deserts of reddish clay, with occasional marshes. This is the region known as the "Land of Everlasting Fire." After sunset, leaping up on all sides from rents in the interminal plain, rise ghostly, dancing tongues of flame, untarnished by smoke, casting a lurid light all around. Dotted about lie squat temples, from whose pinnacles rise columns of fierce flame, the dread gods incarnate of the fire-worshipers. The columns are said to have burnt continuously since the birth of Confucius. The everlasting fires are not the disembodied souls of dead men and demons, as the natives believe, but are due to torrents of gas which stream from underground regions, and are ignited spontaneously. It is possible to dig a small hole and then, by applying a live coal, cause it to burst into flames. If a tube of paper is stuck about two inches in the ground, and the top of it touched with a live coal, a flame will issue from it, but if the edges of the paper have been smeared with clay it will not take fire. Human Blood Stream Has Tides Like Sea The only time most people think anything about the ebb and flow of tides is when they are at the seaside or on the river. Few people know they have their own daily tides in the blood stream pumped from the heart. That this is so has been shown by Dr. F. B. Shaw, who declares that the high tide of the white corpuscles of the blood usually comes just after midnight and again in the afternoon. These tides, he says, may be related to the hours of eating and sleeping or to the changing positions of sun and earth. Another doctor has discovered that anger makes the blood sweeter. After making several people angry, he drew off samples of blood, and in all cases found more sugar in the blood after the fit of emotion than before. --- His Impulse The following true incident was told to a friend of the Companion not long ago by a woman of the Quaker faith. A Quaker was once passing a Quaker meetinghouse in the country when suddenly he felt an impulse to go in and preach, although there was no audience. He acted according to his impulse, preached a short sermon and then left the building. Some years later, while in London, he was accosted by a man who said to him, "Sir, you saved my life." Astonished at such a remark, he said, "What do you mean? I do not know you." "Well," said the man, "I was passing a certain meetinghouse one day and, hearing a voice, I listened outside the window." And then he added in a low voice, "I was an ex-convict and in despair, but your words saved me."—Youth's Companion. Great Wall of China Few people realize what an almost perfect condition prevails along a large part of the great wall of China. The bricks of the parapet are as firm as ever, and their edges have stood the severe climate of north China with scarcely a break. The paving along the top of the wall is so smooth that one may ride over it with a bicycle, and the great granite blocks with which it is faced are as smooth and as closely fitted as when put in place over 2,000 years ago. The entire length of this wall is 1,400 miles; it is 22 feet high and 20 feet in thickness. At intervals of 100 yards or so there are towers some 40 feet in height. Considerate The artist had agreed to paint the portrait of a beautiful young girl in her very becoming lavender evening gown. The girl's mother decided, as she thought the matter over at home, that she would prefer to have her daughter wear a yellow dress. A few days later the portrait painter received a message over the telephone from the young girl: "Mother thinks I'd better wear my yellow dress and hopes you haven't bought the paint yet!"—Vancouver Province. One Year's Moose Bag It has been estimated that about 10,000 moose are killed in Canada each year. This seems a heavy slaughter, but far from there being any danger of extermination from this toll taken by the moose hunter authorities in different sections are of the opinion that a killing of twice that number could be made each year and the natural increase would definitely offset any danger of the extinction of the moose. Not to Be Consoled Little Katherine was crying, not for anything in particular, but for every thing in general. Her mother, trying to divert her attention, said: "Oh, look at that pretty horse tie out there." But Katherine took it as one more grievance in life, saying: "I want that horse to be a mule." Jewels in Profusion It is not generally known that the Sahara desert has encroached hundreds of miles eastward during the centuries since the great days of Egyptian civilization, and has in consequence buried in sand many forgotten cities and centers of population. One often thinks of the treasure lying on the floor of the ocean, but the treasure buried under desert sands must also be incalculable. A sensational discovery was made recently, not on the Egyptian side, where the sand almost succeeded in overwhelming the mighty Sphinx, but on the western side of the desert. The body of some ancient queen of the Sahara was found beneath the sand. On her arms were found eighteen bracelets, nine of gold and nine of silver; five necklaces of jewels were around her neck, and on her head was a diadem of gold starred with jewels. There was much exquisitely carved furniture in the tomb, and near by were piles of jewels—emeralds, rubles, onyx, and so on. On the opposite side was found a superb statue of a woman carved in stone. The date of this tomb is placed at least a thousand years before the Christian era. In all the six years of his captivity, he does not seem, even once, to have sung the praises of General Bonaparte. If he is summing up what he achieved, he says: "My fame does not rest upon my 40 victorious battles, nor does it lie in the fact that I bent the monarchs to my will. Waterloo will wipe out the memory of so many victories; the last act makes one forget the first. What will never pass away is my book of laws, minutes of my council of state, my correspondence with my ministers. . . . Through its simplicity my code of laws had more effect than any civil codes before it; the schools I have kept up, my methods of instruction, are creating a new generation; crime decreased during my rule, whereas in England crime has become more prevalent. . . . I wanted to found a European system, a European code of laws, a European court of appeal; there would have been but one people throughout Europe."—From Emil Ludwig's "Napoleon." Old Criticism of Dance The dance craze was the object of almost as much criticism a century ago as it is today. This was shown by a book, yellowed with age, which was found recently in the walls of an old mansion demolished in Medford, Mass. Under the heading, "Dancing," the author, in 1831, wrote: "Nothing shows the national character, or thoughtlessness and gayety, more plainly than a strong and general propensity for dancing. A passion for this amusement affects persons in every grade of life. It might be supposed that those only would be disposed to engage in it whose spirits are continually elastic and buoyant, under the cheering smiles of prosperity and ease. But this is not the fact. The thoughtless and gay will often do it in order to suppress those movings of conscience which would lead them to a life of religion." Trade Mark Protection The courts have said that a person entering a field of endeavor already occupied by another should, in the selection of a trade name or trade mark, keep far enough away to avoid all possible confusion. Whether there is an infringement of a trade mark does not depend upon the use of identical words, nor on the question as to whether they are so similar that a person looking at one would be deceived into the belief that it was the other. The courts incline to hold that infringement occurs if one adopts a trade name or a trade mark so like another in form, spelling or sound that a person with a not very definite or clear recollection as to the real trade mark is likely to become confused or misled. Donkey-Foot Mascot Thieves of all kinds have the strongest belief in charms. In a London police court a detective produced a black pebble taken from the waistcoat pocket of a man he had arrested, and said that that kind of thing was a charm for good luck. A burglar caught in Camberwell said bitterly to the officer who had arrested him: "It serves me right. I came out without my donkey foot." His mascot was the shod hoof of a donkey, which he had carried during the whole of his criminal career. The black-cat superstition is as powerful as ever, and a burglar will actually turn away from a house if he finds a black cat seated on the doorstep. Prayed for a Rest The story goes that several college presidents were discussing what they would do after they retired. What would they be fit for was the question. "Well," said one of them, "I don't know that I'd be fit for anything, but I know what I'd like to do. I'd like to be superintendent of an orphan asylum so I never get any letters from parents." "I've a much better ambition," exclaimed another. "I want to be warden of a penitentiary. The alumni never come back to visit."—Harper's Magazine.
