Woman Wills $230,000 to Negro School LIFTING LIFT TO $2.00 a Year—5 NOTED CAPITALIST AMAZED, PROGRESS OF NEGRO REPUBLIC Liberia in Process of Modernization Moving So Rapidly That It Astonishes Rubber Producer. LIBERIANS ARE PROGRESSIVE Firestone Returns to United States and Tells of Productivity of Land and Efficiency of the People. New York City—The republic of Liberia, on the west coast of Africa, is making rapid strides toward modern civilization, according to Harvey S. Firestone, jr., who has just return- ed from an eight weeks' tour of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company's rubber plantations there. "One of the first things that I saw reflecting the new day, was a traffic policeman wearing the short khaki pants typical of Africa; the same kind of pants our Boy Scouts wear, Mr. Firestone said, "but your African policeman has fully as much dignity as a Fifth avenue policeman. A few years ago Liberia had one automobile and two dirt roads. Our company has developed 75 miles of good roads and now there are perhaps 200 automobiles and trucks in the country. Some of the well-to-do are buying cars and running them on the new roads. Their drivers and ours are natives that are trained to the job since we entered the country two years ago." The Firestone enterprise means the conversion of a primitive world into a field of modern industrial operations. Not industrial alone, but embracing agriculture, communication, rubber culture and a great social experiment as well. The human factor one of the most interesting of the whole undertaking. With 15,000 naves employed and other thousands be added, the Firestone management has been studying the Liberian native intensively. "When the first American settlers arrived a hundred years ago the west coast was an untouched land. These settlers established towns, fought the slave traders and hostile tribes, set up a democratic government and laid the foundations of what is now the republic of Liberia. Their descendants number about 15,000 people, many of them well educated, who make up the ruling class. The remainder of the 2,000,000 population lives in a primitive or semi-primitive state. We find them to be naturally intelligent and good tempered, a people quick to learn. "They have taken to rubber culture as if it was a natural vocation. And they are learning many crafts besides. In addition to automobile drivers we have trained masons and carpenters, some of them having had a little experience previously. They are running concrete mixers, turning out the blocks for houses, while others put up houses of the concrete blocks and lumber with surprising skill. We have also established a trade school to teach boys a trade and this is making progress. In time the school will have a fairly large capacity and we are co-operating with the government and the American advisory committee on education in Liberia to extend public school instruction. In this connection, a special issue in textbooks is being printed, adapted to the native mind. "I may say that Liberia is on the move in every direction. As a result of our need for rubber—or the need of the American people—we have had to create an organization of broad scope to supply the men in the field. From the day we started one of our pressing needs was prompt communication. But it has taken us two years to develop and install a radio service. During my visit I sent the first message from our own station on the Du river to the station that we have put up in Akron, 4,600 miles across the United States, the middle Atlantic and part of Liberia. The stations are in regular communication, operated on short waves, and we are learning new things daily about radio operations in tropical latitudes. THE MONITOR ROLAND HAYES WILL GIVE CONCERT HERE Famous Negro Tenor, Internationally Acclaimed as Unrivalled Artist of the Age, To Sing Here in February. Omaha is to have the long coveted privilege of hearing Roland Hayes. A committee of twenty representative citizens, to be known as the Roland Hayes committee, is sponsoring the coming of Roland Hayes, internationally famous tenor, acclaimed in Europe and America as one of the greatest artists of the times, in a concert to be given February 20, 1929. So great is the demand for this unrivalled singer that engagements for his appearance have to be made two and three years ahead. The Boston Symphony orchestra manages the appearances of Mr. Hayes. Mrs. Gentry Waldo, to whose initiative and interest our city is indebted for his coming, was fortunate to secure Mr. Hayes for an Omaha appearance at a price much below that paid in eastern cities. Omaha pays $2,000 to hear this famous singer. Mrs. Charles Offutt is chairman of the committee bringing Roland Hayes. RABID "LILY WHITES" RULE MISSISSIPPI Handwriting On the Wall So Plain That No Daniel Is Needed To Make Interpretation Thereof Jackson, Miss.—First indications of the aftermath resulting from the indictment of Perry Howard and eight members of his faction for sale of federal patronage came out recently when Secretary of State Walker announced that general election ballots might carry the lily-white list of presidential electors in preference to those of Howard, although Howards' group was recognized by the national republican convention. The Sheldon group, while having two Negro members, was formed for the avowed purpose of placing the republican party's affairs in Mississippi under white leadership. Both factions are qualifying under the state law to have their presidential electors on the ticket, it was said as both have complied with that part of the state primary law providing for a state convention for the naming of delegates and electors. Secretary Wood, who rather than state that one of the republican groups would not be placed on the ticket, said that he would await the filing of both lists of presidential electors and then ask the opinion of the attorney general. ASK WIDE REFORM IN RACE SCHOOLS Helena, Ark.—The annual meeting of the Arkansas Negro Business League came to a close in this city Wednesday. The league voted unanimously to apply to boards of education throughout the state and the faculties of race colleges to bring about much needed changes in the Negro educational system. COLOR LINE QUARREL HAS A FATAL ENDING Chicago, Ill.—Rufus H. Thompson, 34, a private detective for the New York Central railroad, died Tuesday in the Illinois Masonic hospital of a bullet wound received June 2 during a quarrel with Jesse Williams, in a roadhouse in Bellwood over the right of the race man to eat in the main dining room. HAMPTON EDUCATIONAL TOURISTS NOW IN EUROPE Hampton, Va.—The group of 20 making the educational tour of Europe as arranged by Hampton Institute, report a wonderfully interesting and instructive tour. The sea voyage was calm and the reception at London very cordial. The annual Sunday school and parish picnic of St. Philip's church was well attended and a very enjoyable time was spent by all present.

White citizens have in past years changed their political affiliation and allegiance. Not so the American of color. He has been as constant as the northern star. His loyalty, love and devotion to the Republican party has been above suspicion or questioning. And in the birth, early attitude, position and practice of the party his loyalty, love and devotion to it finds ample justification. It was conceived and born of the spirit of justice, liberty and human rights. Because of its appeal to the highest instincts of the human heart, men of all classes, who believed in human rights, rallied around its standard and the Republican party grew apace. Lincoln was elected. The South seceded. Slavery was overthrown. The Negro was transferred from chattlehood to manhood. A marvelous transformation! It devolved upon the party which was, under God, the instrument and agent of his freedom to protect him in that freedom and to bring him into the privileges and responsibilities of enlightened American citizenship. And so it passed the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendments to the Constitution. These were all wise and statesmanlike efforts, statements to the contrary notwithstanding, to be true to the great moral issues out of which the party sprang into being. The principles therein enunciated are true and the United States is foredoomed to failure unless she remains true to these principles. The attitude of the Republican party on the great moral issue of human rights, as visualized and centered in the Negro, accounts for the fact that the pro-slavery states became solidly democratic, and atrophied, for that is what has really happened, into "the solid South," totally impervious to progress in new ideas and new ideals. Narrow, bigoted and insane on certain issues. Sneer, if you will, at the Negro for his love, loyalty and allegiance to the Republican party—as it once was. It does credit to his soul, which cherishes, as one of its choicest attributes, gratitude. And because of the ideal his memory cherishes he desires to love and be loyal to the party which gave him his freedom. But in recent years, although it still retains the name, the Republican party has become so changed in its ideals and in its attitude towards, and treatment of him, that the Negro citizen of intelligence and forethought is greatly perturbed as to his political duty. Never more so than in the present campaign. Unquestionably and unfortunately, the Republican party is breaking away from the ideals upon which it was founded and which assured its success. It seems to believe that it can win the solid South by conforming to southern sentiment. Be it so. This is one of the ominous signs on the political horizon which presages a new orientation for the Negro citizen and voter. The Republican party MAY bend or break the solid South by surrendering to lily-whiteism but we fear that it will find that it is driving a poor bargain. The party having changed its ideals and attitude toward him it will find that, reluctantly and with keen regret, the Negro voter, in maintenance of his manhood and self-respect, will be forced to change his time-honored and loyal allegiance to it. OUSTING OF PERRY HOWARD By Kelly Miller In the Negro's universe of political discourse Perry Howard is no longer a personality but a symbol. His political undoing is not on account of his desserts but of his race. This consummate Mississippi politician had reached the highest pinnacle of political eminence attainable by a colored aspirant. He is a member of the national republican committee representing his state and his party in its ultimate political council. Not only so, but his love for loyalty to and his service in behalf of his party is unsurpassed. He holds the ranking appointive position of his race under the Harding and Coolidge administration. He supported the triumphant element of his party and voted the lily white slate at Kansas City. And yet, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, this loyal prince of his party is made to taste of the cup of humiliation to its very dregs. The reason alleged is technical transgression of a law which has been transgressed from time immemorial and yet this man has been summarily discarded by the party which he loved and the administration which he served. If Perry Howard had been dealt with on the level merit of his desserts, his race, though chagrined, would have uttered no word of complaint. If the G. O. P. had made up its mind to clean out the Augean stable of corruption which, it is alleged, it has been enmeshed for the past two administrations and if the undoing of Howard had but an incident in this process of purification we would have said sorrowfully, "Let him take his medicine along with the other evil doers." But such does not seem to be the case. Corruption and rumors of corruption have tainted the political atmosphere for the past two administrations. The orthodox and dominant element in the republican party has remained dumb and inarti- --- on the political horizon presage to citizen and voter.

The democrats have hurled denunciations and reproachful taunts at their said-to-be-corrupt adversaries to their hearts' content and yet neither the administrations nor its sponsors have been known to utter a mumbling word. There has been no voice of righteous indignation nor Rooseveltian denunciation of evil doing within the political household of the accused. Cabinet officers and high officials have been involved in the net of official misdeeds and scandal, the high priest of the national committee has not escaped accusation. The senatorial toga has been dragged in the mire of imputed corruption. But in every instance we have had to wait the aggressiveness of the democratic adversary to arouse legal action to public scorn. These charges involve millions of dollars and shake the very foundation of our faith in free government. And yet republican finger flies to the lip cautioning silence whenever an accusing word is uttered. But when Ben Davis is accused by his political adversaries of imposing a tribute of a few hundred dollars on office holders in Georgia; when Walter Cohen is charged with the possession of a few quarts of super Volstedian liquor; and when Perry Howard is alleged to have trafficked to the extent of fifteen hundred dollars in federal patronage, the party rises up in its righteous wrath to get rid of corrupt Negro leadership. Here is a modern instance of straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel. The G. O. P. seems to be resolved to convince the nation that it is determined to purify itself even if it must sacrifice every Negro official. This is what might be called visiting the sins of the republican party upon the Negro politician. Race Resents Hypocrisy The entire Negro race is deply resentful of this vicarious affliction.

NEGRO DEMOCRATS HOLD CONVENTION IN OHIO METROPOLIS All Sections of Country Represented Among 3,000 Who Assemble in Cleveland and Endorse Cleveland, Ohio — The national convention of Negro democrats opened in this city Monday with 3,000 race men and women representing almost every section of the United States. Resolutions were drawn up endorsing Gov. Alfred E. Smith for the presidency. They were unanimously adopted. Absolute harmony was seen in the carrying out of the meeting, which was done in a highly effective manner. Violent speeches were made against Herbert Hoover and his picked national committee for their deposing such men as Bill McDonald of Texas, Walter Cohen of Louisiana, Perry Howard of Mississippi, and Ben J. Davis of Georgia. Among the prominent Negro leaders attending the convention were Dr. Wm. H. Thompkins, Kansas City, Mo.; C. A. Hughes, New York; John W. Terry, New York; Dr. James A.

WILLS $230,000 TO A VIRGINIA COLLEGE St. Louis, Mo.—The philanthropic spirit of Mrs. Anna Lee Harrison was of such breadth as to cause her to leave the bulk of her $275,000 fortune to a small race industrial and agricultural college in Leesburg, Va., it was disclosed in her will. The school is located in Leesburg, Va., where Mrs. Harrison, who identifies St. Louis as her home, died Saturday a week ago. The Leesburg, Va., school, lying near Mrs. Harrison's girlhood home, an institution which she loved and befriended numerous times, in her last act of magnanimity, was bequeathed about $230,000. An additional trust fund of $60,000, left to an old friend of the deceased, reverts to the school after the death of the beneficiary.

GROWING THANK YOU Whole Number 678 School MOB BRUTALITIES IN RECENT MONTHS DISTURB LEADERS Seven Lynchings Within Two Months Deeply Stir Federal Council of Churches, Which Makes Appeal To Public LYNCHLESS LAND FUTILE HOPE Earnest Desire To Have Year Free From Mob Murders Given Serious Setback By Grusome Record New York, N. Y.—"The hope of America becoming a lynchless land this year was shattered by the record of seven victims, all Negroes, during May and June," says the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, through its commission on race relations, in an official statement issued here Sunday. "These are seven victims too many," the statement flatly insists, adding that "their tragic deaths show the savagery of race prejudice." The recent occurrences are especially depreciated in the Council's report, because of the fact that the first four months of this year had been wholly free from lynchings. It is pointed out moreover, that one of the victims of the last two months was burned at the stake, and another snatched from a hospital bed. In an appeal to the churches, the statement further says: "The Federal Council of the Churches calls upon church people of all denominations and creeds to rise in the might of public protest against these outrages and urges them to exercise their direct influences upon national, state and local officials, in order that every citizen, however humble and of whatever color, may be safe and secure, and law and order may be strengthened. Shall we repeat the record of the past five years or shall we abolish mob murder? Jesus Christ and the mob spirit cannot live together in the same land. "In 1922 there were 57 victims of lynching, in 1923 there were 33, in 1924 there were 16, in 1925 there were 17, in 1926 there were 30, in 1927 there were 17. During the first four months of the present year there was no victim lynched in our land—the longest period that we have been free from the evil since records have been kept." The Federal Council's commission on race relations is made up of leaders, both white and Negro, in 28 denominations. The chairman is Bishop George C. Clement of Louisville, Ky., and the executive committee has as its head Rev. Peter Ainslie of Baltimore .Dr. George E. Haynes of New York is executive secretary. LAWN TENNIS BREAKFAST Mrs. R. K.

Twenty-one girls were present, and the young college and school set were elated that they were so honored by Mrs. Lawrie, who is known for her hospitality.

OUSTING OF PERRY HOWARD (Continued from Page One) nouncing and condemning the punishment and humiliation of Howard with deep and bitter acerbity. The effect upon the alignment in the campaign cannot now be definitely ascertained. It seems certain, however, that the republican party will find additional difficulty in holding the race in its accustomed allegiance by reason of the crucifixion of the Mississippi leader. Clearly Sees the Trend Clearly Sees the Trend The Negro's eyes are wide open. He is keenly sensitive of these sinister political maneuvers. Step follows step with logical coherence. The obvious purpose seems to be the elimination of the Negro from directive voice in the high councils of the party out of deference to the lily white sentiment. The gospel, according to the lily whites, is that the Negro in the south should be allowed to vote, but should have no controlling say as to management or manipulation of political organizations. In this wise they hope, vaguely, perhaps vainly, to build up a functioning republican organization in the southern states. The dominant spirit of the party is veering to this view. Recent actions of the party are easily interpreted in the light of this purpose. Sidesteps Amendments First came the refusal of Kansas City to lay equal stress upon the enforcement of the 14th and 15th as upon the 18th amendment. This puts the country on notice that the republican party has weaned its own children conceived in the civil strife and born amidst political revolution. The southern states, therefore, need no longer fear the enforcement of the Removal of Office B. HILL and Surgeon this office from 1516½ North 4 North Twenty-fourth street Webster 3567.

Elimination of Negro The second step is seen in the elimination of the Negro as a co-ordinate advisor in the high councils of the party. And so on one pretext or another Ben Davis, Walter Cohen and Perry Howard must relinquish their hold upon the republican machinery in Georgia, Louisiana and Mississippi. This hold must be broken not with the blunt honesty of political necessity, but under the plausible guise of purity and righteousness. Slemp Enlisted and Exalted Slemp Enlisted and Exalted The third step follows with carefully planned consecutiveness. Bascom Slemp, the erstwhile secretary of President Coolidge, is chosen to bring the southern democratic vote and the lily white republican into the fold. Mr. Slemp is the arch lily white who knows the wiles and guiles of the game. If laying office holders under tribute be the great political crime, then Perry Howard's transgression, if we are to believe documented charges, compared with Slemp's would be as a mole hill to a mountain. And yet, Slemp is exalted and Howard is debased. So great is the affliction and sacrifice that the Negro is forced to undergo in order that the G. O. P. may build up effective strength in the southern states. To the white voter, the marginal issue between the two parties is a rapidly narrowing one. If the civil war amendments are to be eliminated from the issue of political controversy and if the Negro is to be deprived of political equality in the councils of the republican party, then to him party differences are wholly obliterated. There remains but one dominant issue of a moral nature which is determined, not by the platform of the parties which are indistinguishable, but by the personal attitude of the contending standard bearers. The real issue after all is not so much republican or democratic, Hoover or Smith, but wet or dry. For month of August will make suits to order from $25.00 and up Fit and Quality Guaranteed.

A BIG EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION to be held at KRUG PARK—September 11 We are hereby calling the public's attention to this big event. We have heretofore, no doubt, witnessed this day of celebration in Omaha, but never before have we had it in this wise. There is a big effort being made by the Committee to reach every organized group of race people in and around Omaha, in order that they may share in, or have a chance to share in this affair. We are hoping to have every church group, every fraternal society and the business and professional men to participate in this celebration. We have heard from many sources, much criticism about a date for this celebration. To that we have only this to say: In the Slave States, the dates differ; in Nebraska, there is no fixed date for this occasion, for this was not a slave state. So, we use a date on which we can secure a place that furnishes such recreation and amusements as this day calls for, hence, the day and place this year is September 11th. at Krug Park! Another objection has been that it has been a single-handed effort. That objection this year is removed by reason of the fact that all groups are being approached to take part. Still another objection has been because some have thought that the churches and pastors should not have the dance pavilion operating under church management. That objection this time is removed, for the Krug Park Amusement Co. had contracted with Mr. John Smith for the dance pavilion last March, so the churches will have no hand in the management of the hall. Now let us all get together and have a big day of co-mingling one with another and at the same time celebrate in a large way our Race Freedom. The following named brethren have been approached and have agreed to co-operate with the plan. From Fraternities: A. M. HARROLD REV. D. McQUEEN C. G. M. of U. K. T.'s State G. M. of M. T. of A's DR.

Dr. Grant is in hearty accord with the present plan of operation, but because of so much unjust criticism growing out of last year's celebration, he does not care to have any hand in the affair this year.

We hope this announcement will be clearly read and understood so that everyone will know that all groups can be benefited by plans offered if they will take part. At this writing the Committee has not been able to see all of the churches and pastors, neither have we had time to see all of the Fraternal Societies, but we will see them before the next issue comes out, so as to let the public know those participating in this grand affair.

D.) tells of enormous water and land serpents, some so large that whole armies were sent against them. The hardy Norse fishermen gave thrilling stories of sea monsters, Olaus Magnus, a Swedish bishop, wrote of "a very large serpent of length upward of 200 feet and 20 feet in diameter, with a row of hairs 2 feet in length hanging from the neck, sharp scales of dark color, and brilliant, flaming eyes. It attacks boats and snatches away the men by raising itself high out of the water, and devours them." Hans Egede, a Norwegian missionary to Greenland, tells of encountering, on July 6, 1734, "a very terrible sea animal, which raised itself so high above the water that its head reached above our maintop. It had a long, sharp snout, and blew like a whale." The oarfish, with a body from 25 to 30 feet long, and almost as thin as a ribbon, is believed by some naturalists to be the creature which gave rise to many remarkable yarns, told from ancient days until now, of "sea serpents." The silvery body, crossed with dusky stripes, the grotesque head and face, with enlarged fins tipped with red, waving above like a horse's mane, might well give foundation, it is said, to almost any story. Still no one can definitely say that the sea serpent does not exist. Humming Bird Small A man's bravery can never be judged by his size. Frequently the midget has the spirit of a raging lion while the big, hulking 200-pounder has the timorous heart of a rabbit. The same law of nature applies to birds, Kendrick Kimball writes, in the Detroit News. The humming bird, sometimes called the "jewel of the air" because of his flashing luster, is only three inches in length, but his courage knows no boundaries. Humming birds are fearless. They will attack a hawk, a crow or an eagle, and against such a nimble adversary the bigger bird would have no chance. With his rapiper bill, which he thrusts into flowers for their nectar, the humming bird is capable of dealing an adversary a sharp prick which would discourage further aggressiveness. Among themselves, the humming birds fight frequently. Like skilled fencers, they thrust at one another with their long, needle-like bills, ducking and darting so fast that the eye can hardly follow them as they maneuver for openings. Here Endeth the Lesson A thrifty Scotch farmer started off each day by reading a chapter from the Bible to his field hands. One morning during the harvesting season, he struck the sixth chapter of Chronicles, which consists of 81 verses of genealogical names. He droned on until he came to: "And Shallum begat Hilkiah, and Hilkiah begat Azariah, and Azariah begat Serailah, and Serailah begat Johozadak." Then he paused and looked over the leaf. "Weel, my friends," he said, "they begat ane anither right down to the end o' the page and a lang way ower on the other side, so we'll jist leave them to it. Off wi' ye to yer work." —Boston Transcript. Nature Always Fair How just is Nature in distributing her gifts. As a tribute for the gossamer skin she doles to the true blondes and the Titian blondes, she is greedy in the coloring pigment, for eyelashes and eyebrows. With the stirring, vivacious beauty of the Black-eyed-Susan type, she mingled a nice brownish skin, none too delicate perhaps, but which is far more resistant to sun and wind than that of the fairylike blondes. To the face that is not perfect in any sense, she adds the body silhouette of a beautiful dryad. In each case, there is sure to be one feature, fact or figure that is nearly beautiful.—The Dance Magazine. First Maple Sirup Maple sugar making is an ancient art entirely confined to the North American continent. Before the advent of the white man, the Indian had learned to extract and concentrate the sap of the maple tree. On the approach of spring the trees were gashed with the tomahawk, and a wooden chip or spout inserted to direct the fluid drop by drop into a receptacle on the ground. The sap was caught in a birch bark dish and boiled in earthen kettles. The small quantity of dark, thick sirup thus made was the only sugar available to the Indians and is stated by early writers to have been highly prized. Few Left-Handed People From the meager information accessible on the subject it appears that primitive peoples are as predominantly right handed as civilized peoples. Any theory which seeks to explain the origin of right handedness must go back farther than civilization. According to the bureau of American ethnology, there are very few cases of left handedness among the present-day Indians. It is supposed by that authority that the Indians were predominantly right handed before their contact with Europeans. Royal Splendor That Europe was dazzled by a display of royal pomp unequaled in the history of pageantry, when Henry VIII met Francis 1 of France on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. For his entertainment a temporary palace was built at Guines, near Calais, covering three acres. No fewer than 2,800 tents stood around it to house the knights and ladies of his resplendent train. Their chapel had 35 priests to serve it and for the 20-odd days they were in France 2,200 sheep went to form one item of their menu. There is a picture in Hampton court which will give you some idea of the splendor of the day. It shows the Great Harry, that giant ship, with her sails of damasked cloth of gold and four royal standards flying from her foe'sle, sailing out of Dover harbor. Other ships, bearing Yeomen of the Guard, drummers, fifers and banner bearers, are making ready to follow, and the water is thronged with small boats full of spectators, one of whom is graphically represented in the act of being seasick. The diplomatic results of this magnificent display of wealth and power, it is sad to read, were as near nothing as doesn't matter. Chairman Didn't Quite Being a Scot, and therefore a sentimentalist, I have always had an appreciative eye for good-looking women. As a consequence of many wanderings I thought I could give a lecture about the ladies of many lands. I gathered a lot of pretty photographs—ladies walking in Hyde park, dusky maidens dancing in the Sea Sea islands, and that kind of thing—and wove a cheery lecture. "Sovereign Woman: Being the Impression of a Man in Thirty-eight Countries." It went well. I delivered it it in a Surrey residential town. My chairman, who had entertained me ardently at dinner, said the customary things a chairman is expected to say—information culled from "Who's Who"—and concluded by remarking, "Now I will call upon our lecturer to give you his experiences with 38 women in different countries!" The audience roared. I blushed. The chairman inquired in a loud whisper, "Have I said anything wrong?"—Sir John Foster Fraser in London Graphic. Disappointing The big house in the wood had been untenanted for years and was supposed to be haunted. In despair the owner had the place redecorated, fitted with electric light and every possible labor-saving device, and offered the whole concern at a very modest rental. Later he happened to hear that a man had been shown over the house, and in great excitement he rang up the agent. "Is it true some one's taken that house at last?" he asked. The agent's voice was sad. "So far he's only taken the electric light fittings," he replied. "Peraps he'll come back for the rest." Not Case of Attraction When two small objects are floating near each other in a basin of water why are they suddenly drawn together as if by a magnet? The bureau of standards says that the weight of the floating particles stretches the surface of the water, forming a dimple when the two particles come close enough; the two dimples coalesce into one, throwing the particles together. The action is due to surface tension, in virtue of which the surface is constantly striving to reduce its exposed area to a minimum.—Washington Star. Problem Last year I asked my best girl to marry me and she refused. I got even with her by marrying her mother. Then my father married the girl. Now what am I to myself? When I married the girl's mother the girl became my daughter and when my father married my daughter she became my mother. Who am I? My mother's mother, who is my wife, must be my grandmother. Since I am my grandmother's husband, I am, therefore, my own grandfather.—Vancouver Province. Where the Shed Horns Go Why aren't the woods full of the horns which deer and moose shed every winter? The answer, according to a writer in Field and Stream, is that they are eaten by rodents. "Many," says the sport monthly, "have been found partly eaten which have the teeth marks of mice, chipmunks, squirrels, ground squirrels and porcupines. Horns disappear quickly after they are shed, as few are found in the woods." Versatile Publishers The Centroldaz, central publishing house of the Soviet republics, faces a big task in supplying books to the various small nations of Russia in their respective tongues. Most of the books are textbooks, printed to supply the demand of the newly liberated, backward peoples for education and knowledge. Six fundamental alphabets are used to print the 42 dialects: Russian, Latin, Hebrew, Arabic, Gothic and East Gothic. THE MONITOR Ancients Stored Wine The vessels chiefly used in the early days for holding wine were invariably the skins of animals. These skins were formed into crude bags and the seams were cemented with pitch or resin. Such were the wineskins successfully employed by the wily Gibeonites in their negotiations with Joshua. These were succeeded by the carthenware jars known as amphorae, the size and shape of which are obviously modeled on the primitive wineskin. The amphorae was glazed inside and not outside, the glazing being a resinous composition evidently copied from that used for wineskins. Its capacity was about three gallons, and its aperture was at the thick end or top, unlike the wineskin, which was filled and emptied at the thin end or bottom. This simple but thoroughly practical vessel for containing wine remained in use without change for many centuries in Egypt, Greece and Rome. It was stored by thrusting the small end into the cellar floor of dry sand. When the first tier was completed it was covered up deeply with more dry sand, another tier of amphorae was placed above it, also smothered in sand, and there it was left for years to mature at an even temperature. Of the seven wonders of the ancient world the only satisfactory survival is the first group, the pyramids and the great sphinx. The foundation and many fragments of the mausoleum have been disclosed by modern excavation; the structure was destroyed by an earthquake. Mounds indicating the position of the walls and gardens of Babylon have also been identified. The Colossus, composed of brass cast in pieces, was overthrown by an earthquake in 224 B. C. The pieces lay there for many centuries, until the Turks took Rhodes. They sold the brass to a merchant, who is said to have employed 900 camels to carry it away. The temple of Diana was burned in 356 B. C., by Erostartus, an obscure individual who thought thus to make himself famous. It was rebuilt in a less pretentious manner, and survived until the coming of the Goths in A.D. 256. Barbarian invaders are to have destroyed also the Olympian Jove and the pharos of Alexandria. Red Flood Lighting That effective flood lighting of buildings need not be necessarily of white or light color, and that the use of lights is not restricted to white lights has been demonstrated by the use of red lights exclusively on a large manufacturing plant located on the principal railroad between Philadelphia and New York. This building is of brick and built on simple lines. When the white lights were tried the lines of mortar between the bricks seemed to be offensively accentuated. The white were replaced by red lamps and the effect was more than satisfactory. The structure seemed to stand out from the surrounding properties and its impressive size was made apparent without unduly revealing the homely lines. Saskatchewan River Saskatchewan is an Indian name meaning "swift-flowing" or "rapid," and although it is the name now borne by the great river which rises in Alberta and flows through Saskatchewan and Manitoba into Lake Winnipeg, it was not its original name. Saskatchewan was given by the Indians to more than one stream. For example, it was an early appellation of the present Minnedosa river, in Manitoba, while Saskatchewan is the name of a tributary to Severn river, Ontario. Family Devotions When tea was over at the children's party, the hostess asked the smallest boy if he would say grace? "What's that?" asked the honored guest. "Why, don't you know?" said the surprised hostess. "What does your father say when he has had a good dinner?" The small boy searched his memory, then replied: "He rubs his chest and says: 'Richard is himself again!'"—The Outlook Little Betty was bragging about her ability to add. Her uncle gave her a problem to solve. "If I gave you two rabbits in the morning and three rabbits in the afternoon how many rabbits would you have?" inquired the uncle. "Six," cried little Betty. "Just as I thought. Two and three are six," answered the uncle. "But uncle," said little Betty earnestly. "I already have one." Mouse as Advertisement A mouse that catches files was the novel window display used recently by an automobile man in Sydney, Australia. Heedless of the large crowd watching him, the tiny rodent would dart from his hiding place in a corner and spring up the window pane or take a flying leap. He would always "get" his fly. He kept the window clear of all the buzzers, and the dealer says he was the best and cheapest attraction he ever had. Time Has Swallowed Correct The Perfect Picnicker Saw a teamster at his midday meal. His table was the earth and his cutlery a rather battered looking ax. The menu consisted of a tin of bully beef, a bottle of tomato sauce and a loaf of bread. The beef was backed open with the ax, the peck of the sauce bottle was knocked off, also with the ax, and the bread was torn into lumps in his hands. A billy of cold water washed it down. For simplicity and an entire absence of fuss or frill I'll say that the teamster's methods take the bun.—Sydney Bulletin. PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CHURCH MAKING IMPROVEMENTS Important improvements are under way at Pleasant Green Baptist church, Twenty-second and Paul streets, Rev. Z. C. McGee, pastor, which clearly prove that "the people of this energetic and earnest congregation have a mind to work." Nightly and Saturday afternoons, after their usual daily work is done, men of the congregation are busily engaged in excavating under the building and the pile of earth beside the church, which, by the way, is free for anyone who wants to haul it away, shows how diligently they have labored. The excavation will provide a large basement room which is to be fitted up and used temporarily for the usual religious services while improvements on the main auditorium are being made. These include the removal of the plastered ceiling and the raising and trussing of the roof, the extension of the east wall of the church some twelve or fifteen feet to the east line of the property, thus substantially enlarging the edifice, and veneering or stuccoing the whole exterior, making an attractive church building of the bungalow type. When the main auditorium is finished the basement will be used for entertainments and Sunday school purposes and the main auditorium for worship. Pastor McGee states that the work of improvement will proceed as rapidly as the money is provided so that when it is completed the congregation will not be burdened with debt. The contribution of their labor by the men of the congregation under the foremanship of Mr. Shelton Pearl represents a substantial sum. We wish to thank our many true friends for their kindness shown during the brief illness and death of our beloved wife and mother, Jessie Peoples, who departed this life Thursday night, July 24. We are also very grateful for their comforting words and beautiful floral offerings. A. F. PEOPLES DONALD and BILLY PEOPLES MRS. CORA PAGE AMANDA BRECKENRIDGE Mason City, Iowa. ANOTHER AL SMITH CLUB Governor Alfred E. Smith was indorsed for the presidency by 35 men and women members of a colored Al Smith for President club formed at a meeting Tuesday night at 1811 No. Twenty-fourth street.
