BISHOP GREGG IS A VISITOR Ministers Preseat Attend Course of Lectures Given by University Professors and Other Instructors. The Omaha district conference, Allen Christian Endeavor league, Sunday school and missionary conventions were held at Lincoln, Neb., for one week beginning July 11th and ending July 15th. The Rev. John Adams, the presiding elder of the Omaha district, was in charge of the convention work and presided throughout the sessions. Those acquainted with annual and district conferences in Nebraska, claim that this was the most enthusiastic, largely attended and unique series of church conferences witnessed by this section of the country. Every arrangement was made for the comfort of the sessions by the entertaining church and its pastor, Rev. M. C. Knight, D. D., and the presiding elder. The business and study periods were interspersed with drives about the city, picnics, afternoon promenades and athletics. The scheme of this district conference and Sunday scoll convention was to combine study, and recreation, placing emphasis upon a study of religion and religious methods. The convention proper was held in two auditoriums, that of Quinn chapel A. M. E. church and the lecture room of Professor Barbour of the department of Astronomy and Archaeology in the University of Nebraska. The missionaries and miners attended lecture courses three hours each day. These lectures were delivered by Professor Barbour, A. M., Ph. D., of the University of Nebraska; the Rev. F. H. Schillingberger, Ph. D., of the Department of Philosophy at Cotner college, Lincoln, Neb., and the Rev. Ray Hunt of the United Brethren church, and the Revs. John Adams and J. E. Brewer of the conference. Professor Barbour's study was "Cosmological Antiquity," a study of Old Testament Scripture. Professor Hunt, A. M., D. D., spoke on the "Realities of Religion," a study of Biblical institutions and movements. Professor Schillingberger's subject was "The Kingdom of Jesus Christ." Dr. J. E. Brewer's subject was "Hymnology." Dr. John Adams, the presiding elder, covered the field of "New Testament Exegesis" and "Church Law." Able papers were read by the delegates attending and the conference was favored with rare music. The closing program was held on Sunday night. The crowds had continued up to this hour to hear and participate in a specially prepared study on "The Negro and the Church," by Drs. J. E. Hughes and I. Garland Penn, of the Methodist Episcopal church. This study was presented to a packed house. Bishop Gregg Attends The Rt. Rev. J. A. Gregg, presiding bishop of the fifth Episcopal district, attended the conference and spoke. The mayor and the city of Lincoln tendered Bishop Gregg a most enthusiastic reception and thanked him for honoring their city with an official visit. Bishop Gregg spoke on "The Greater Call," and covered almost every phase of the accomplishments and present needs in the field of missionary activity. The bishop was entertained by the ministers of the district, after the general reception by the citizens of Lincoln. The annual missionary sermon was preached by the Rev. J. W. Garner, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church of Omaha. The annual educational sermon was delivered by the Rev B. R. Monroe of Atchison, Kans. The annual Sunday school sermon was preached by the eRev. J. W. Johnson THE MONITOR COURAGE OF COLORED YOUTH SAVES MANY LIVES FROM FLAMES Baltimore, Md.—James Cooper, a colored youth living in Dolphin street, was acclaimed a hero when a fire broke out in a building on South Hanover street, Monday. Cooper, who is an elevator operator, brought sixteen white girls to safety, bringing them down through the roaring flames and smoke. After bringing the girls to safety, Cooper, according to reports, returned to the upper floor to fight the flames singlehanded, and found himself trapped. He was driven from the building by the smoke and the flames. Makes Another Trip Cooper, it seems, was one of the first to discover the blaze. He ran the elevator to the fourth floor and warned the workers of their danger. They made a rush for the elevator and the girls were carried to safety. After Cooper had carried the first load out of the reach of the flames, he went up for another load and got the manager and four others on the fifth floor, which by this time was a roaring furnace. Thick clouds of smoke filled the shaft and when the youth arrived with the elevator he was gasping. His escape, cut off both by way of the stairway and the elevator, the young hero was forced to use the fire escape by way of which he made his escape to the street. All of the persons in the building escaped without injury. MINISTER URGES RACE TO SUPPORT DEMO CANDIDATE Washington, D. C.—Rev. R. B. Robinson of this city, president of the National Afro-American Democratic league, who it is understood will have charge of the Smith campaign among the race voters of the country, recently issued a call to the race citizens of the country to rally to the Smith banner during the coming presidential election. Advocates Smith Vote The Rev. Mr. Robinson in his statement declared that it should be "the proudest act of the colored voters in all parts of the country to go to the polls in November and vote for Gov. Al Smith for president." Assails G. O. P. Decrepancies Assails G. O. P. Decrepancies Dr. Robinson, who was an organizer for the democratic party under the late Senator Andreas Jones of New Mexico, four years ago, accused the republican party of failure to keep its practice on a level with its preachments concerning the Negro. "As the republican party today is not the party of Lincoln, Sumner or Grant," he said, "so the colored voter of today will prove not to be the voter of 65 years ago." Mr. Ollie Young went to Los Angeles, Cal., last Thursday. of Hiawatha, Kans. The financial report was the largest in the history of the district. For the various conventions, the following officers were elected: Woman's Mite Missionary society, Mrs. Hattie E. Adams, president; Mrs. Mollie Brown, first vice-president; Mrs. Ella Whiteside, treasurer. Members of the executive board: Mrs. J. W. Garner, chairman; Mrs. Ella Badler, Mrs. Mary Shelby, Mrs. Eva Ellis, Mrs. Georgia Robinson, Mrs. Lula Thornton, recording secretary, and Mrs. Della Jones, corresponding secretary. The following were elected officers of the Sunday scoll convention: Mrs. Luella Brooks of Beatrice, president; Mr. Lester Carter of Omaha, secretary; Miss Frances Covington of Omaha, vice-president. The following were elected officers of the A. C. E. L.: Miss Cleo Ross of Lincoln, Neb., president; Miss Alma Williams of Lincoln, Neb., vice-president; Miss Lois Herdon of Fremont, Neb. secretary. In a testimonial meeting recounting the accomplishments of the presiding elder for the past four years the conferences presented him with a very beautiful Panama hat, and to Mrs. Hattie E. Adams, his wife, a handsomely engraved purse.

Wha sonality of the respective stan- parties we cannot afford to principles which seem to us to paign. The Negro voters of the country care little or nothing about the quarrels, apprehensions or fears of the white citizens concerning the religious convictions or affiliations of candidates for public office, national, state or local. They, as a group, are optimistic constitutionalists. Despite the fact that their constitutional rights are in many cases flagrantly violated they are still willing to hold to the conviction, perhaps a deluded one, that the Constitution of the United States means what it says and will ultimately be enforced. That is their faith. Call it child-like, if you please, but child-like faith in justice and righteousness and truth triumphs in the end. They believe that under the constitution no religious test can be demanded as a qualification for holding public office, save perhaps that such aspirant must be a believer in a Deity, for unless he does, his oath of office must be meaningless. What his faith in that Deity may be or how he may express it, to him it is a matter of indifference. So whether an American citizen, qualified for holding public office, be Protestant, Roman Catholic or Jew, does not perturb the average American of color and he wisely refuses to be drawn into any such controversy. Any appeal therefore to our people upon the ground of either religion or race is foredoomed to failure. We are concerned with issues and principles which we consider more fundamental and vital. What chiefly concerns the Negro citizen and voter is the attitude of political candidates and parties to the constitution in its application to all citizens. This must be the deciding factor in winning his support and allegiance. In the presidential campaign there are, it would seem, very important principles at stake which vitally affect our status as citizens. These must be given chief consideration in making our decision. One party in its platform declares for States Rights and its candidate, for whom we personally have the warmest admiration for his fair-mindedness towards our people, his frankness and honesty, favors the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. We are opposed to the doctrine of States rights and we are opposed to the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The repeal of this amendment might open the way for the repeal of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments, which would vitally affect the rights of citizenship of every American of color. States Rights would work to our detriment in every Southern state. Whatever we may think of the personality of the respective standard bearers of the two major parties we cannot afford to overlook these two paramount principles which seem to us to be at stake in the national campaign. BOTH RACES OFFER BLOOD TO SAVE NEGRO WOMAN Columbia, S. C.—Race prejudice was forgotten here Monday when it was announced by authorities of the Columbia Hospital that blood transfusion was necessary to save the life of Mrs. Rena Cornish, and volunteers were requested. Members of both races gathered at the hospital offering the necessary blood. After typing the blood of several individuals, Miss Helen Ford, a colored woman, was accepted, and the transfusion made. While it was not certain that the sick woman's life would be saved the action on the part of colored and white volunteers has been pronounced as most encouraging to those interested in bringing about amity between the races, and Miss Ford has been acclaimed a real heroine. The transfusion was successfully effected and Miss Ford suffered no ill effects. When she left the hospital she told the physicians that if necessary she would give more blood to save the stricken woman. Others, however, are being typed, and if a second transfusion is necessary another volunteer will be used. GRADUATES FROM COLUMBIA Tuskegee, Ala.—Miss Myra Logan, the daughter of Warren Logan, former treasurer of Tuskegee Institute, who was valedictorian of the class of 1927 of Atlanta university, graduated with honor from Columbia university, New York City, this June.

Cullen, 25 years old, noted young poet and journalist, will go to Paris, where he will study and complete a group of narrative poems and the libretto for an opera. Mr. Cullen was one of three colored Americans to be awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Fellowship last spring. The other recipients were G. J. Ballata and Eric Derwent Walrond. The fellowships amount to $2,500 each and are awarded only to young scholars and artists who have given unequivocal evidence of marked gift for research and for creative work, and who are engaged in constructive projects requiring special facilities available abroad. FEAR OF NEGRO WILL KEEP SOUTH SOLID Athens, Ga.—The so-called "Negro menace" will prevent any serious bolt in southern democracy this fall, according to the belief of Robert Lathan, editor of the Ashville, N. C., Citizen, as expressed here in an address at the opening of the institute of public affairs and international relations. "The best guarantee that there will be no serious bolt on the part of the southern democrats this fall is that the thinking people of the south are not ready to countenance the development now of a situation which might result in the reappearance of the Negro as a formidable factor at the polls in this section," he said. CHINESE SCHOLAR VISITS TUSKEGEE Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Tien Lai Huang, Chinese scholar and statesman, will lecture to students of the Tuskegee Institute summer school on what is happening in China. Mr. Huang is one of the most noted representatives of the modern China and a leader of the new generation. He has been an officer in the Chinese army, director of the Chinese mass education movement, Chinese secretary of the Methodist board of foreign missions, and a delegate to the League of Nations at Geneva. He is a graduate of Peking, Syracuse, and Columbia universities. Vol. XIV—No. 3 o Save CLERGYMAN URGES EFFORT TO DEVELOP THE BLACK RACE CLERGYMAN URGES EFFORT TO DEVELOP THE BLACK RACE Toronto, Can.—Unless the south assists the Negro in expressing himself in political and civic affairs, it will find itself in a "more embarrassing position than ever before," Rev. John Hope, of Atlanta, Ga., told the fourth congress of the Baptist World Alliance recently. Coming to America in slavery and ignorance, the Negroes have adopted the white man's language, but a great many feared the white majority. They were afraid, he said, that the whites, dominant in numbers, wealth and political power, would continue to thwart the development of the Negroes. He expressed the idea that the Negro was prevented from expressing himself politically, and added: "Unless this condition is changed, I expect to see my native south in a more embarrassing position than it has even been before, even in the civil war." Prof. W. T. Connor, of Fort Worth, said he placed character formation as one of the most important functions of the theological school. "A theological seminary," he said, "ought not to be a cold storage plant, the atmosphere of which is so frigid that the zeal of the student is frozen to death." ARREST 15 WEST AFRICAN WORKERS Paris, France-According to reports being circulated in labor circles a campaign of persecution has been begun against militant leaders of the native workers in French West Africa, the Belgian Congo and British West Africa. Word from Dagar comes to the effect that fifteen militant leaders have been rounded up by government officials and plans have been made to deport them. JOHN D. JR., HELPS HARLEM CHILDREN New York City—Through a gift of $72,000 by John D. Rockefeller, jr., the establishment of a children's recreational center in the Utopia Children's House will be effected immediately, according to an announcement made by William Hodson, executive secretary of the Welfare Council. SPANISH WAR VETERANS AND AUXILIARY HOLD MEETING The woman's auxiliary of Captain Allen Allensworth Camp No. 25, Spanish War Veterans, held a meeting and social Wednesday evening, which was well attended by comrades and friends. Two new members from Council Bluffs, Ia., joined the auxiliary. Several visitors were present and an enjoyable evening was spent.

DISFRANCHISEMENT SCORED Discrimination in Educational Opportunities Condemned. Cleveland Chosen for Next Session. Los Angeles, Cal.—Closing their seven-day national conference in Los Angeles, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People made public its address to the American people which sets forth the attitude of the association on public questions. The address in part is as follows: "The year of the presidential election brings forcibly to the mind of every American colored or white citizen the insistent problem of democratic government in the United states. The N. A. A. C. P. reiterates its charges that the disfranchisement of the majority of intelligent adult Negroes in the United States is not simply a race problem. It is a problem of democracy and it affects the entire nation and the whole world." The association points out that in disfranchisement of 3,750,000 colored voters in the south, 5,000,000 of the southern white voters have been deprived of the franchise. The report continues: "Thus democratic government in the United States has become a farce, primarily because for the sake of disfranchising Negroes part of white America has been willing to disfranchise itself. Despite an increase of 100 per cent in the voting population of the eleven southern states there has been practically no increase in the number of voters in a generation." Pointing out that for the first time in a generation there was passed in the United States a period of 120 days when a human being has not been lynched, they assert that if it can be lessened by local initiative it can be wiped out by national enactment and urge a federal lynching law. The association urges the use of political power to abolish disenfranchisement and segregation of the Negro. Deploring the means of education afforded the colored people in discrimination of salaries of teachers, length of school terms, provision of housing and equipment and claiming such discrimination illegal, the association urges that it be remedied by the ballot and court action. "Our economic situation is still precarious and deplorable. We denounce the secret enmity toward workers which is still manifested by those American trade unions which acquiesce in discrimination toward them and in opposition to their employment. We should refuse to use our political power to advance the cause of white unionism if it stands for color discrimination." Next year's convention city was named as Cleveland, Ohio, at a busy session, at which one delegate from each branch reported on the activities of his branch during the past year. THE A AND B GROCERY STORE HAS FORMAL OPENING The A and B Grocery Store, of which Messrs. Adams and Burnett are the proprietors, located on North Twenty-sixth street between Corby and Maple, had its formal opening Monday night, which was largely attended. Refreshments were served to all patrons and Adams' orchestra furnished music. The store is well stocked and presents a neat and attractive appearance. The proprietors expressed themselves as well pleased with the patronage received since they purchased the business a month ago. The A and B Store is a decided addition to the growing business enterprises conducted by our race in this city.

There is no disguising the fact that we have been passing through an era of depression, in common with other great metropolitan centers, but that the low level has been reached and we are now on the upgrade is quite apparent. Let us all then have faith in Omaha and boost for our town. It is a good place in which to live and to plan for the future of ourselves and families, and let us all do our best to help make it a better place. IMPROVEMENT The widening of Twentieth street between Dodge and Leavenworth is a great improvement. Within the next ten years, mark this prophecy, Twentieth street from Leavenworth to Lake will be an important business thoroughfare. People who own property in this vicinity will not regret it. FARM RELIEF Is there not a whole lot of bunkum about Farm Relief? It does not look very much like farmers are in danger of the poorhouse. Spellbinders and special writers would have us believe that unless there is some special legislation to stabilize farm products and protect farmers it will not be long before most of those who follow agricultural pursuits will be objects of public charity. Verily it seemeth to us that much of this talk about farm relief is bunkum. FREE BRIDGE A free bridge has been interjected into the discussion of the street railway franchise. It may complicate affairs, but despite any complications that may arise a franchise protecting the rights of the street railway company and of the public must be worked out so that Church there be no paralysis of transportation. Study the franchise and be prepared to vote intelligently when the time comes. Omaha needs street cars and cannot get along without them. A free bridge is also needed. Let's not kill one enterprise to get the other. THE RISING NEGRO (From Emporia Gazette) The Negro professional men in America, outside the larger cities, labor under tremendous handicaps. Considering the obstacles imposed on them, it is amazing that so many have been able to succeed. In the larger cities, brilliant Negro lawyers and singers, successful Negro surgeons and actors, are no longer a curiosity. But the Negro professional man has to contend with the prejudices of his own race, as well as those of the white people. Many Negroes, accustomed to take the white man at his face value, unconsciously accept his assumption of superiority in the professions, and when they are sick or when they need a lawyer, they prefer to entrust themselves to a white doctor or lawyer, although there may be Negro professional men who are much more highly skilled. These prejudices are as deeply ingrained in the Negro race as they are in the white race. It is commonly observed, in states which permit traveling Negroes to eat in the dining cars, that the Negro waiters frequently take occasion to slight and to insult in small ways the Negroes who venture in. The Negro waiters feel that the Negro diner is "putting on airs" by eating in the dining car, and take occasion to show their prejudices. The Negro race, if it is to begin to gain equality in the professional field with the white race, must respect its own professional men—its many brilliant teachers, actors, lawyers, doctors and ministers. Negroes should be proud of the success of Roland Hayes, Charles Gilpin, Florence Mills and others who have already commanded the respect and admiration of the white people. Furthermore, Negroes should assist in every way members of their own race, at present unknown, who are struggling for similar eminence. For, if these Negro professional men do not have the respect of their own race, they cannot hope to gain that of the white. painted plate Davis McGovin Temple.

White, 2425 Franklin street. The house was beautifully decorated throughout. The shades were drawn and lighted candles were used on the dining table. Each guest was given a souvenir. Mrs. White proved to be a lovely hostess. From 7:00 p. m. to 9:00 p. m. Mrs. Abington was taken on a sightseeing tour by a very dear friend, Miss Ruth Seay. On Wednesday, July 11, Mrs. Abington was the honor guest at a breakfast given at the residence of Mrs. M. C. Sands, Mrs. Mary Taylor assisting. The guests numbered 12. A large basket of garden flowers adorned the table, the gift of Mrs. Josephine Merritt. The delicacies of the season were served.

Burton, who organized the first S. M. T. Temple of Omaha. The lecture of the grand princess was inspiring to the sisterhood and will long be remembered among the temples of Omaha. She was presented with a beautiful basket of cut flowers and ten dollars in money, a gift of Benson Temple. She was also presented with beautiful hand painted plates, a gift of Mrs. Teresa Davis McGowan, a member of Benson Temple. Mrs. James Merritt, mistress of ceremonies and chairman of program committee, deserves much credit for the splendid management of the program. SECRETARY, URBAN LEAGUE. ADDRESSES SOCIAL WORKERS J. Harvey Kerns, executive secretary of the Omaha Urban league, was special guest of the executive board of the conference of social workers at their monthly meeting in the University club. In outlining the work of the Urban league and some of its objectives, Mr. Kerns declared the beginning of the Urban league as an organization marked the turning point in social service among Negroes. "The Urban league," he said, "was the first step toward the co-operation and co-ordination of agencies attempting social work among Negroes. The league recognizes that any program planning constructive work among Negroes should be preceded by careful and scientific study of the field. The Negro problem, so-called, is largely one of health, housing, recreation and racial friction, often intensified by a lack of sympathetic understanding. The Negro today is not seeking alms, SPECIAL Now Open LE ROY'S PLACE 2210 No. 24th High Class Fruits WATER MELONS AND ICE CREAM Sundaes, Special 10c TO HOLDERS OF Third Liberty Loan Bonds The Treasury offers a new 3¾ per cent. 12-15 year Treasury bond in exchange for Third Liberty Loan Bonds.

From a cursory survey and general observations, he said the Urban league program should assist materially in improving certain conditions in Omaha. He urged closer co-operation and a greater tolerance in the questions affecting race, stating that the social and economic life of the two groups are so closely interwoven that what is detrimental to one group is detrimental to the other, and what benefits one group is of benefit to the other.

LYONS 316 North Central Avenue Oklahoma City, Okla. --- LINCOLN, NEB. The rivers and estuaries of northern Australia spread out over the country in great mudflats intersected by shallow creeks, while everywhere as a waterside growth one finds the eternal mangrove. Along the banks of these creeks and across the mud-flats lie the blackfellows' pads or paths, worn and kept bare by the constant passing of feet; and in some reedy bed or muddy pool beside these paths the cunning "alligator" will lie waiting for its prey. It will remain thus, quite motionless, for days, but let some unwary creature happen along—a woman, a dog, a kangaroo—and instantly it is on the alert. With exquisite judgment the foul brute will await the exact second for action; then a great armored tail lashes up out of the mud, with one tremendous sweep, knocking the hapless victim into the water. Quicker than a terrier worrying a rat the terrible jaws follow up the blow, and before the luckless prey quite realizes what has happened the great teeth crush through flesh and bone and all is over. Many white men have been caught that way, and no experienced bushman will walk alongside or camp close to a creek or waterhole, no matter how enticing the place may seem. At night the hungry brutes are apt to leave the water, and it would be a terrible awakening to feel the grip of those savage jaws as they closed on one's body and dragged one off to a hideous death.—Exchange. Widow of Italy's War Hero Given Million Lire Hero Given Million Lire Naples.—The widow of Marshal Diaz, who led the Italian troops to victory in the World war, is to have a million fire from the country in addition to a special pension and whatever other pensions he enjoyed at the time of his death last winter. His will, written on his deathbed, was pathetic in its simplicity. "I have nothing to leave my wife and children but the house in Naples, which the citizens gave me; my swords, my war decorations, and a few shares in an industrial concern." The shares proved to be of little value and the war hero's widow and three children found themselves in straits when the magnificent state funeral was over and the household bills began to come in. His widow's pension will now be equal to $5,000 a year, but the million lire, about $50,000, will be given her at once. Diaz, who was created Duca della Vittoria, left two pretty young daughters and one son, who is now working in a bank in Rome.

Nydegger, who has had considerable experience in exploring in Newfoundland, will lead a party afoot in an exploration trip to the tablelands of the island, in search of traces of the plane of Nungesser and Coll, who were lost while attempting the first westward flight of the Atlantic. Confident that Nungesser's plane, the White Bird, spanned the Atlantic, only to meet disastrous head winds and be forced off her course, as was the Bremen, Doctor Nydegger says he will explore every mile of the interlor of the island. He said: "My impression is that they crashed against tall trees or a mountain while lost in fog. There were a dozen reports that persons had heard their motor along the coast. The Guggenheim foundation spent thousands of dollars searching from the air for traces of their plane, but if they were lost in the tablelands the wreck could not be seen from the air. "The White Bird would disappear from sight like a baseball in grass three feet high. With two or three trusted guides I will follow the Grand Codary river into the dense woods of the island. "I will send the guides back and forth across the island, crossing and recrossing until every mile of unexplored territory is covered. I am confident I will find traces of them. "While I hold out no hope that they are alive, I believe we will find their wrecked plane. It is a little over a year since their brave attempt to fly from France to America failed, and it is not too late to make a final search. "Nungesser's mother has always maintained that somebody will find the White Bird. I hope that I will be the fortunate man." T2 Inherit $1,000,000 Omaha, Neb.—What's in a name? Millions, perhaps, for Seth Rosewater, the seventeen-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Rosewater of 258 Riverside drive, New York. Young Rosewater legally took the name Seth Warner Buchard last February, his mother said. The Rosewaters formerly lived here. The name is that of the young man's maternal uncle, Anson W. Buchard, formerly an official of the General Electric company, who died last year, Buchard left no heirs besides his widow. The widow, Mrs. Allene Buchard, was understood to have proposed that Seth become her principal heir, provided he take the name of her husband and thus perpetuate the Buchard name. The Buchard estate has been valued at more than a million dollars. "My son has not been adopted," Mrs. Rosewater said. "He is merely going to carry on the Buchard name. Our name will be carried on by our eldest son." $420,000 Set of Books Put in Harvard Library Cambridge, Mass.—Eighty-eight slim volumes whose value was estimated at $420,000 now repose in the Harvard university library, having been brought here from New York under armed guard. The volumes constituted a part of the famous Ell Abethan collection of the late William Augustus White of Brooklyn, and were given to the university by his son, Harold T. White, who acted on behalf of the heirs. Among the most valuable of the books are the 1599 edition of "Romeo and Juliet," of which only 12 copies are believed extant; "Love's Labor Lost," 1598 first edition; "Much Ado About Nothing," 1600; a third edition, 1611, of "Hamlet," and a 1608 copy of "King Lear." Uruguay Fruit Growers Montevideo, Uruguay.-To aid the country's fruit growers the government of Uruguay has created a credit of 10,000 pesos, which will be expended under the direction of agricultural department engineers in demonstrating how fruits should be classified and packed for export. By the proper preparation of fresh fruit, Uruguay not only hopes to again ship to Argentina, but also looks to Great Britain for an outlet. Recent Argentine regulations proved prejudicial to unclassified and unpacked Uruguayan fruits. Dog Guards Crossing on Spanish Railroad Monserrat, Spain.—A dog acts as guard of the grade crossing over the cogwheel railroad to the convent of Monserrat, to which thousands of pilgrims and tourists make excursions. At ordinary times, when no trains are passing, the animal lies on a wooden bench at the side of the road, wearing a cap his owner made for him. When he hears a train approaching, he jumps up and stands on his hind legs, bearing between one of his paws and his breast a red flag which signals road travelers to a stop. SHAVE HEADS OF BAD BOYS AS PUNISHMENT SHAVE HEADS OF BAD BOYS AS PUNISHMENT Argentina's Method Proves to Be Effective. New York.—Down in the Argentine republic if a boy is bad and you whip him he forgets the whipping but remembers the badness. But if you cut off his hair, shave it right down to the scalp, it hurts, and he forgets the badness and remembers the hair cutting. With which interesting homily on South American discipline, Jose Amutuzco of Buenos Aires, who is in America now to study reformatories, discussed recently the "reform camp" he has built out of a real penitentiary in three years. Officially, Jose is a Y. M. C. A. secretary on leave, loaned to the Argentinian government. Actually, however, he is a sort of big brother to 350 "bad boys" of his country. He has taken the juvenile malefactors of the Argentine out of chain gangs into homes. Started Work Three Years Ago. "Three years ago," said Senor Amatuzzo, "the minister of education asked me what I could do with the boys who have received sentences for crimes from the courts. Then they were all housed in one building and they were treated like prisoners. They were always handcuffed or big chains were placed on their ankles. So I didn't know what I could do. But I told him I'd try something. "I demanded three things. First, that there be no politics if I tried to help the boys. You know there is nothing but politics in everything in my country. Then I insisted on running my own budget and last that I should not take any men or women workers who came to me recommended by officials. I knew that type in my country." It's a long story this bright, black-eyed young Argentinian had to tell. In three years, for instance, his institution has produced $200,000 worth of various goods in his 17 shops and 18 farms. It has spent the money for more and better equipment. It has produced, too, one boy who is certainly going to represent his country in the coming Olympic games and another who has a pretty good chance to do it. Knows His Boys. It has produced carpenters and masons who built 35 houses for themselves. It has brought out a furniture maker who sold a chair and desk to the President of the republic—"et a good price, too"—for his use in the official headquarters of the Argentine. Lots of other things have been done. The thing that was most impressive about the youngster who in three years changed the system of handling boy criminals is that he knows so much about boys. "I read the football stories in the paper every day. I've learned the boys are football crazy. So I know the names of all the stars, and I argue with the boys. That makes friends. "I don't preach a sermon. I get out and play with 'em. I pat them on the back and shake hands." "I haven't whipped a boy since I took the place. It isn't necessary. You can joke with a boy and get him to do more than you can when you force him. "When a boy is a little bad I deny him the swimming pool. When he is very bad I cut his hair. They love their hair and that's what hurts them most. "Let them plan things themselves. They figure out their own menus, for instance. They do whatever kind of work they want to do. "Take them places. I try to give them little outings whenever I can." Jose got his training in the Y. M. C. A. schools here. He's back now officially representing the government to study reform schools. Influence of Health Washington.—The history of health, and how health conditions influenced the progress of Americans for the last 300 years, is being studied for the first time this summer. The American Historical association has commissioned Dr. Richard H. Shryock, research scholar appointed under the $50,000 memorial fund established in honor of former United States Senator Albert J. Beveridge by his widow, to do this job. Historians often mention spectacular epidemics or strange medical practices, and medical men record the technical progress of their science, but none heretofore has made an attempt to relate the status of the nation's health with its social background. Doctor Shryock will work this summer among scholars of Washington and Philadelphia. Lapis Lazuli Monopoly Given to German Firm Idar, Germany.—As first evidence of the much heralded trade development with Afghanistan expected to result from King Amanullah's recent visit, a local firm announces that it has been granted by the Afghan monarch the monopoly for importing Afghan laplis lazuli. It is claimed that nowhere in the world is laplis lazuli found of such good quality as in Afghanistan. Idar is a small town on the River Nahe, a tributary of the Rhine, and has a special industry connected with the setting and mounting of semi-precious stones. THE MONITOR WILL PRESERVE SCENE OF ARTHUR'S BATTLES WILL PRESERVE SCENE OF ARTHUR'S BATTLES Movement in England to Save Historic Site. Penzance, England. — A famous stretch of the Cornish cliff on the north shore of Cornwall, properly known as Church Cliff, will soon become a national monument if plans made by Rev. A. Blissard Barnes, vicar of Tintagel, come to maturity this year. This stretch of cliff, about 50 acres in area, stands as a bulwark against the Atlantic rollers, and commands magnificent views of a countryside which is rich with legends of Arthur Pendragon and his Knights of the Round Table. Below the cliff, and within view from its top, is the precipitous island rock upon which are a portion of the ruins of an ancient castle, by popular belief the birthplace of the afterward celebrated King Arthur. Not far away is the stone marked Slaughter bridge, where many say the last battle of Arthur was fought, and where the last of the Pendragons received his fatal wound. Doubt Arthur Ever Existed. Doubt Arthur Ever Existed. Milton, in his History of Britain, ramarks: "Who Arthur was, and whether any such person reigned in Britain, hath been doubted heretofore, and may again with good reason." Scholars and historians have pointed out that there is little evidence worth consideration that Arthur was more than the creation of natural myth. Yet to many Cornishmen, and to Englishmen and Americans as well, the heroic tales of the son of Uther, recorded first by Nennius in the latter half of the Ninth century, and spun since by poets and singers into a glistening web of fancies and romance, have made the figures as real and believable as those of the more authentic persons of history. The proof of this lies in the number of English tourists who visit the ruins at Tintagel, the town at Camelford, the battlefield at Slaughter bridge, and other spots closely associated with the legend. In the last half-decade Americans, too, have found Cornwall. In increasing numbers the summer tourists have invaded the quiet country at the south of England to bathe on her white beaches at Penzance, Newquay, and Perranporth, to visit the famous tin mines near Redruth and Camborne, and to stand on the ground made famous by the tale of Arthur Pendragon, in the north. Ruined Castle Draws Many. Ruined Castle Draws Marly. The chief interest at Tintagel, of course, is the ruined castle, which is popularly referred to as King Arthur's castle and so represented to tourists. Regardless of the truth of this claim, the spot has genuine historic associations of later date, though it is now generally acknowledged that the crumbling ruins are of a period posterior to the Norman conqueror. A few English writers, however, moved to defend the legends of the Pendragon, have declared it possible that the castle, or some mansion or dwelling, must have existed there before the Conquest; that it was later restored by the Normans in their own particular style. At any rate, there must have been some sort of castle on the island of Tintagel, or Tintagel, when Geoffrey of Monmouth, the most believable of the early writers, recorded his version of the Arthurian legend, about the year 1147. At the close of that century, it seems evident, the Norman family of De Hornacot, seated at Hornacot, in North Hamerton, had a grant of the manor of Bossinney, including, no doubt, the Island of Tintagel. They thereafter took the name of Tintagel as a part of the family name, which is thought to indicate that there was some castle or mansion on the island for them to reside in. The isle of Tintagel and the ruins upon it now belong to the prince of Wales, as duke of Cornwall. Much of the other land of especial note in the region is similarly protected for posterity. But the area along Church cliff, which is attached to the glebe land of the vicarage of Tintagel, is the property of the church, and as such may be sold at any time, provided proper authority is obtained from the ecclesiastical commissioners. Since the increase in the tourist trade of the region began, the value of the land for building sites has steadily gone up. Rev. A. Blissard Barnes and others interested in the sentimental value of the cliff front have been alarmed lately lest an especially fine offer induces the church to sell, allowing the cliffs to fall into private hands. Hongkong, China. The Hongkong government is studying a project to link the island with the mainland by a traffic tunnel similar to the Holland tubes, which join Manhattan island to New Jersey. Between Hongkong and Kowloon, its mainland suburb, lies a three-quarter-mile-wide strait, which is Hongkong harbor, crossed by an inadequate ferry service, which is usually suspended during the typhoons which frequent this coast. Engineers estimate that the tunnel need not be deeper than some sections of the London "underground." Such an undertaking, first of its kind in the Far East, would relieve the congestion of Hongkong and promote the already rapid growth of Kowloon and other towns in British territory on the mainland. Plan Traffic Tunnel for Hongkong Glass Windows Found Glass windows are not the relatively modern things they are commonly reputed to be. According to Dr. M. Blaschke, a German ceramic chemist, they were in use in ancient Rome. Most of the panes did not exceed 12 by 16 inches in size, though a few larger ones have been found. Glass-making, known for many centuries in Egypt, came to Rome relatively late. During the time of Cicero, who died in 43 B. C., glass objects of any kind were rarities, and glass windows were unknown. A hundred years later most households owned some, and by the time the empire was well established glass was fairly common. The famous mosaics of the later empire, notably at Ravenna and Constantinople, were made largely out of bits of glass. Early Hydroairplanes The idea of a hydroairplane, which had been suggested in patent specifications by Hugo Matullath of New York in 1890, had its practical origin in Curtiss, who added to the airplane with which he was experimenting at Lake Keuka in 1908 floats placed under each wing so that in case of accident the machine would not sink, but could be reached and saved readily with a boat. In fact, it will be recalled that Langley and other inventors for like reasons made their experimental flights over bodies of water. Probably the first to add the floats as an integral part of the machine with the express idea of rising from the surface of the water was Fabre, who on March 28, 1910, made the first flight with a practical hydroairplane at Martigues on the Seine, France. Young Men, Get Married! Youths should marry in their early twenties if they want real happiness. Whatever may have been a man's chances against marrying happily at twenty-three, they are quadruple as he nears forty. The man nearing forty may be a better man, he may well be a worse man; at any rate he is a different man. Unless he has a simplicity of heart and equality of temper rarely found, he will demand more and give less in marriage. No marriage can be happy unless both man and woman are happy in it, and the woman who marries a bachelor of forty will have to give more and take less, and still be happy.—Norman Davey in Smart Set Magazine. Americans Buy Home of Polymieux, France.—The old home of Andre Marie Ampere, one of France's electrical wizards, has been bought by Americans and given into the keeping of the French Society of Electricians. Sosthenes Behn, president of the International Telephone company, and his brother Hernand, were the donors who made possible the establishment of the home as a permanent memorial to the man whose name is used as a unit of measurement in electricity. In keeping with the spirit of this event, there was celebrated simultaneously the inauguration of electric service in this mountain village, near Lyons, one of the few places in France that still relied on candles and kerosene.
