M. C. A. auditorium to listen to an address by Col. Charles Young, the only colored graduate of West Point and now commander of the development battalions at Camp Grant. The gathering of the regiment was arranged by Col. Fred V. S. Chamberlain, who shares with his regiment the bitter disappointment in not being able to get into the fight. They reached the port of embarkation in New York, but were ordered back after the signing of the armistice, and in spite of the blasted hopes of overseas service they made the best of it and re-entered Camp Grant with their band playing "My Country, Tis of Thee." Tells History of Negro Race Col.

He spoke for a square deal and told the men that a square deal works both ways, and in order to get it they must give it. Honest work and right living should be given, he said, and free education and removal of civic discrimination should be received. He said the colored race wanted social equity, not what is sometimes called social equality, implying pink teas and a lot of stuff they care nothing about. He was emphatic in denouncing the intermarriage of the races. Col. Young advised the southern men to return to the south, save their money and buy farms. He told them that the army life had demonstrated that the best element of the white race was willing to give them justice, and said further that the best families of the south were the best friends the colored men have. Thrift, cleanliness of person and premises and true moral living were urged upon the men, and the colonel's remarks were receivd with shouts of approval and prolonged applause. Col. Chamberlain spoke briefly and expressed his appreciation of the spirit the men have shown and his pride in the regiment. Only one conscientious objector had been found in it, and he is now in an insane asylum. Their medical examination grades at the port of embarkation were so high that the officer in charge, after examining four companies, remarked: "If they are all like these men, it seems hardly worth while going through the rest of them." At no place, here or in New York, was there ever a complaint reached the officers of a member of the 812th misconducting himself outside of camp, while the guardhouse record in camp has been exceptionally clean.

The colonel was emphatic in his remarks against swearing, coarse talk and gambling, and urged his men always to remember that they belonged to the 812th and live up to its record. He said none of them hated to lose the chance in battle more than he did, and that his faith in their performance there was and always had been absolute. Nobody, he said, had served their country more faithfully, and the fact that they were not permitted to fight for it was their misfortune and not their fault. In closing, he asked the men if they ever met him in civil life to introduce themselves, as he never wanted to pass a member of the old 812 without shaking hands and doing a good turn for him if he could. COLORED WOMAN PAID THIRTY DOLLARS A DAY NURSING "FLU" CASE WINNEMUCCA, Nev.—Thirty dollars a day for waiting on a family was the wage at which a colored woman was hired here by a Basque sheepman to get to his ranch near McDermitt, on the Oregon line, all the members of his family being ill of influenza. The sheepman had tried in vain to get help nearer home and failing, came to Winnemucca. There were a number of cases of the disease here and that, together with the fact that many people are afraid of contracting influenza, made it difficult to find a woman to go. The colored woman was offered $20 a day. She said it was worth $30, and without any further parleying, the Basque man consented to pay it. VOLUME 1.

ARMY UNABLE TO NEGROES WILL DEMAND CARE FOR ITS WOUNDED JUSTICE AND EQUALITY Senator Chamberlain Says Hospita Facilities Inadequate and No Demobilization Plans Are Made WASHINGTON.—Senator Chamberlain of Oregon, chairman of the senate military committee, spoke for more than three hours in the senate in criticism of the war department, dealing particularly with what he termed the failure to provide adequate hospital facilities for the returning wounded soldiers and to formulate a definite plan for demobilization. The senator reiterated many of the charges he made in his address at New York soon after the nation entered the war, and in a subsequent address in the senate, and said that information that had come to light since had justified the statements he had made. Senator Chamberlain's New York address brought about a sharp statement from President Wilson. Referring indirectly to that criticism, the Oregon senator said his purpose now was to bring about an improvement in conditions. Senator Chamberlain, who was heard by crowded galleries, said the war department is pursuing the same dilatory tactics it did in the prosecution of the war many months ago. "If the war department," de declared, "paid one-half the attention to preparations for receiving these boys as they are to getting legislation through congress in order to protect contractors who made contracts for war supplies over the telephone in violation of law, this matter would soon be settled." The need of the definite policy of demobilization was urged by the senator, who said that if one were not established unrest among the men in cantonments and overseas would not cease. He praised the British plan for returning its soldiers to civil life, saying it was framed along economic lines.

NEGROES WILL DEMAND JUSTICE AND EQUALITY RICHMOND, Va., Dec. 31.—One problem that is causing grave concern here is the large purchase of firearms and munitions by the Negroes of the city. They reached a point a few days ago which called forth a special meeting of the State Council of Defense. The result of the meeting was a circular sent broadcast urging dealers to refrain from selling further drunkenness and firearms to Negroes. While the proceedings of the meeting were secret, it is understood that leaders of the Negro element were summoned and told what must be done. At the same time an order went out strengthening the home guard organizations. From indirect sources it is rumored that Negroes have issued a statement that once their soldiers return from Europe they intend to force the white man to give them equal rights. This latter situation is viewed with alarm by many of the leading citizens. NEGROES ARE DRIVEN OUT OF WESTERN CITY OGDEN, Utah, Dec. 31.—Negro refugees from Green River, Wyo., arriving here today declared that all colored men, women and children had been ordered to leave that town after the lynching Tuesday of Edward Woodson, a Negro, charged with killing a railroad switchman and wounding another. Nearly all left their possessions in Green River, having been given only until night to leave. Determination moves onward; stubbornness stands still—Albany Journal.

TRIBUNE That the government is resolved to do its best to restore him to health, strength and self-supporting activity. That until his discharge from hospital care the medical and surgical treatment necessary to restore him to health and strength is under the jurisdiction of the military or naval health authorities. That the vocational training which may afterwards be necessary to restore his self-supporting activity is under the jurisdiction of the Federal Board for Vocational Education. That if he needs an artificial limb or other orthopedic or mechanical appliance the government supplies it free upon his discharge and renews it when considered necessary. That if, after his discharge, he again needs medical treatment on account of his disability the government supplies it free. That any man whose disability entitles him to compensation under the War Risk Insurance Act may be provided by the Federal Board with a course of vocational training for a new occupation. That the government strongly recommends each man who needs it to undertake vocational training and put himself under the care of the Federal Board, but the decisoin to do so is optional with each man. That if his disability does prevent him from returning to employment without training and he elects to follow a course of vocational training provided by the Federal Board, the course will be furnished free of cost, and he will also be paid as long as the training lasts a monthly compensation equal to the sum of which he is entitled under the War Risk Insurance Act or a sum equal to the pay of his last month of active service, whichever is the greater, but in no case will a single man or a man required by his course of instruction to live apart from his dependents receive less than $65 per month, exclusive of the sum paid to dependents. That if his disability does not prevent him from returning to employment without training, and he elects to follow a course of vocational training provided by the Federal Board, the course will be furnished free of cost to him, and the compensation provided by the War Risk Insurance Act will be paid to him, but no allowance will be paid to his family. That in addition to the above the family or dependents of each disabled man will receive from the government during his period of training the same monthly allotment and allowance as that paid prior to his discharge from the army or the navy. That upon completion of his course of training he will continue to receive the compensation prescribed by the War Risk Insurance Act so long as his disability continues. That in nearly every case, by following the advice and suggestions of the Federal Board, he can either get rid of the handicap caused by his disability or acquire new powers to replace any that may have been lost. That if he is willing to learn and to take advantage of the opportunities to increase his skill offered him by the Federal Board he can usually get a better position than he had before entering the service.. That if he fails to take advantage of these opportunities he will find himself badly handicapped when he is obliged to compete with the able-bodied men who come back to work after the war. That the Federal Board, through its vocational experts, will study his particular disability and advise him as to the proper course to pursue and give him free training for the occupation best suited to him. That on the satisfactory completion of his training the Federal Board, through its employment service, will assist him to secure a position. That public authorities and other large employers wil lin many cases at least give the disabled soldiers and sailors preference when filling vacant positions, provided they possess the necessary training to fill them. No Race Prejudice Shown By Flu Germ; Attacks Those Most Fit; White Supremacy Is Exemplified "God's a Nigger." This expression was uttered by a white man of the postoffice in Charleston, W. Va., during the influenza epidemic. And this expression, like the "flu," took among the people. This man thought that the influenza germ had shown that God was partial in favor of black people. This suspicion is not justified. Whatever other indictments may be brought against influenza germs, it is certainly free from race and color prejudice. That is, it attacked those who were fit for its attack, regardless of race, color or previous serviceableness. But it juts happened that through some immunizing process known only to Nature, the colored American seemed to be somewhat better fortified against this particular germ that was the white American. That was no fault of the germ. If this germ has eyes (which may be doubted), I dare say it is color-blind; it seems to work principally in the dark. To speak in germ language, it attacks those most "fit" to be attacked. I have heard another member of this Germ family, whose given name is Tuberculosis, and seems to find his best chance to live in the bodies of black people; but I have never thought that it was color prejudice on the part of this germ, but only opportunity. In fact, no germ yet discovered has been proven to be capable of stooping to that vile thing called Race Prejudice. As a matter of fact, however, while people suffered and died in greater proportion from the influenza germ, which fact caused this postoffice man to ejaculate in a crowd: "God's a nigger!" Presently we will discuss the philosophy of this ejaculation—for we believe it is nearer the truth than the opposite statement would be. It is the mission of babies and fools to make utterances whose profound significance they do not themselves appreciate. It was not told the age of the party who made this utterance, but I will venture a mere guess that he is not one of the babies. Before coming to that, however, I wish to say a word or two more in defense of Mother Nature, who in fact shows clearly that she is no respecter of persons or of artificial considerations. Even the higher animals seem to be free from mere color prejudices or feature prejudice in their own species. They may manifest instinctive prejudice toward members of other species (as cats and dogs)—but man is the only creature who stoops to mean and artificially created prejudice within his own species, inspired by such shallow considerations as color, skull-shape, foot-shape and other superficialities. Even the cattle or the pigs of different colors and skull-shapes may fraternize. Now, disease germs are somewhat more retiring in disposition and less prominent in the public eye than are cattle and pigs; but from what little I have seen of them and from the great deal I have seen of the fruits of their work, I judge them to be as impartial as Mother Nature herself. O course, I have heard human lecturers, prompted by their own feelings, no doubt, ascribing to Tuberculosis Germ a prejudice against black people. That is slander. This germ perhaps finds ex-Africans biologically or circumstantly, or in both ways, "fitter" for its work. But what people set out to prove, they generally prove, even if they must turn their own rules inside out. For example: When Negroes die faster, it is often ascribed to their inferiority. But when a lady on the eastern shore of Maryland heard that influenza germs were having relatively little effect on colored people, she is reported to have said: "Well, that proves that they are not human like the rest of us!" 5 Cents a Copy; $2 a Year R FLU Speech Shown By Flu Those Most Fit;acy Is Exemplified But now the philosophy of the statement: "God's a nigger!" If God wanted to identify himself with any body in the United States, why not with the "niggers?" When He chose to come into the world that was owned and bossed by the Romans, He did not come as a proud Roman, but as a despised and helpless Jew. Is not the heart of the Eternal sympathetic? He shows a disposition to identify himself with those who are right—and especially when they happen to be right and wronged at the same time. Note that expression—not "right and wrong"—but right and wronged—wronged! When man was battling a losing battle against the devil, God decided to become, not one of the mighty devils, but a Man—to identify himself with the weak and wronged party. And after deciding to become a man, what man? Romans were then the "big" people of the world, but God became a Jew. He might just as easily have become a great Roman general and gotten the cowtows of all creation. Or better still, He could have incarnated himself in Augustus and received the homage of the mighty. But He didn't. I have always said that I always will believe that God has in large measure all of the good things which He has given in smaller measure to man—and one of these good things certainly is a sense of humor! God would not think of siding up with the "mighty" and haughty and vain, when it is so much more fun to be found adding His power to the "weak" and humble and real. If he wanted to rub shoulders with men in this generation, I have no idea that He would come as Teuton or even as Anglo-Saxon. But what opportunities and what a great inclination His heart would have to be come identified with a Chinese coolie or a "Georgia nigger." If God chooses to be one thing more than another in America, it may still be said thoughtfully and reverently that "God's a nigger." AMERICAN WOMAN WILL FLY ACROSS ATLANTIC LONDON, Dec. 31.—Katherine Stinson, American aviatrix, announced today that she will attempt to fly from Europe to America. She expresses confidence in her ability to do what no mere man has ever done. Miss Stinson is the first pilot of her sex to fly over London. She accomplished the feat yesterday in a Handley-Paige machine. The American girl was scheduled to fly to Paris today, where she will enter the employ of the Red Cross. According to local officials of the Red Cross, she will be sent on a flight into Germany to search out unreported prison camps, where it is believed there are many missing American soldiers. She may be accompanied on this proposed flight by Alice Fleenore of San Francisco. HUSBAND DECEIVED, HAS MARRIAGE ANNULLED ALBANY, N. Y., Dec. 31.—Discovering on their wedding night that his wife was a colored woman, Thomas Patron left his new home and has refused to live with his bride. Today he got an order of annulment from Supreme Court Justice Chester, upon the ground that his wife had misrepresented her race. The marriage was the result of a four weeks' courtship.

They lived in rude stone structures built on shelves in the sides of cliffs in different sections of Colorado, New Mexico and Arizona, which today are mute remin- ders of this people that is gone, The communnal dwéllings, fore- runners of the American apartment-house, as we know it in the present, are in various stages of disintegration, having been long untenanted—for centuries, it is thought, in every instance. Yet this great gap of years seems to have been bridged by a bean-plant which, until recently was climbing skyward in luxuriant growth at the Sau Diego Standard Oil main station. The same bean is a live, direet connection’ with bygone centuries. Evidence found in the rooms of these cliff-dwellings, such as stone implements of war and domestic use, earthenware pottery and fragments of woven material, has enabled men with scientifie minds to reach conclusions regarding the former tenants, and afforded some understanding of their ways of living. But it was left for James Lay, who is no ethnologist or anthrop- ologist, but a carpenter at San Diego, to make a discovery that should cause Boston folk to rejoice. Lay discovered the cliff-dwel- lers’ bean, and made it grow—brought it back to life and mankind after it had lain dormant apparently for a century or more. While on vacation two years ago, Lay visited the clifft-dwellings in the Verde Valley, about twenty. miles due east from Prescott, Arizona. During the course of his explorations, according to his account of the trip, he came across a eave sealed With rocks and adobe mud. Curiosity prompted him to force an opening, by dislodging some of the boulders, and investigate. Upon entering the cave, he was confronted by three human skeletons, all in a sitting position. This, however, did not deter him from making further examination of his immediate surroundings, and his interesting discovery was made when he pried off a slab of rock that sealed a pocket chiseled in the solid rock wall. There he found a quantity of beans, which clung together in a spherical mass, seemingly having once been placed in a receptacle that subsequently decayed. When exposed to the air, the mass fell apart, and all of the beans save two crumbled at the touch of his fingers, The two that remained intact Lay planted, when he returned to San Diego, and one grew. A very few beans were ob- tained from the original plant, but the second proved remarkably prolific. This cliff-dwellers’ bean which Lay had resurrected, is very similar in appearance to the white bean that is familiar to every American today, but is about twice as large. Those who haye tasted these beans, state that they cause one to want more, Of the séveral seedsmen who have examined the bean, all pronounce it different from any they have handled or are familiar with, and it seems to be a new variety, despite its great age. Several have been sent to Luther Burbank, who, in acknowledging them, stated that they would be planted and the result watehed for with great interest, ‘Whether or not Lay’s discovery is as important as it is interest ing, or more so, remains to be seen. Out here in the West it is a common saying that mines have been dug and railroadg built on beans. And we still have all of those varieties that were used, Yet anything new in edible products, and partienlarly in beans, on ac: count of their food value, is a thing of promise —Standard Oil Bul- letin.

In former times freak wagers were much more frequent than wow, and often exhib- ited much mioré originality and imag- ination. The craze for betting in England in former centuries was in- dulged in by thé high and low, ana an account of the famous bets would fill a volume, Queen Elizabeth was an inveterate gambler, snd the wagers she made covered a wide variety of subjects. On one ocasion she made a bet with Sir Waiter Raleigh on the question of how much smoke is contained in a pound of tobacco: A pound of the ‘weed was burned; and then the ashes weighed, The matter of the weight of the smoke was held to be satis- factorily determined by the test, al- though a schoolboy of today would laugh at such a method and point out its fallacy. A classic example of old freak wa- gers is afforded in the young man who bet a considerable sum of money that he could stand for a whole day on London bridge offering sovereigns fresh from the mint for a penny apiece and find no buyers. He won the wager. ‘The “sack” coat worn by men to- day is said to have resulted trom a wager made by Lorn Spencer, an 18th century fashion arbiter. He bet that If he cut off his coat tails such a mutilated style of garment would soon attain general poularity, and he was right. . In the middle part of the 18th cen- tury King George Ii of Bngland hat as his master of the revels one Heid- egger, whose ugliness was a by-word throughout the kingdom. The king himself, it is said, joined in a wager that an uglier human being than Heidegger could not be found in all London. Several weeks passed be- fore a candidate was found in the person of an old hag and a cotimittee of artists were called upon to decide the issue. Heidegger good naturedly consented to the test. At first the judges were inclined to awrad the palm to the old woman, but one of them suggested that it was her hid- eous bonnet which gave her the pre- eminence.

It occurred last Sunday night. Allie Thompson, a Negro, was in jail on the charge of assaulting Mrs. Lelia Sisk of that county, Two men went to the jail and car ried a man bound in ropes.

Coroner Chapman summoned a jury and held an inquest, but there was no evidence on which to base thé identity of the men composing the lynching party. ep pa BOYS DODGE scHOOL ~ FOR SHIPYARD WAGES PHILADELPHIA, Pa., Dec. 31.—Sc many boys under 16 years of age have been kept out of school by parents to work in the shipyards here at big wages that the shipyards themselves have taken up the problem.

Japan Happy to Work For Good of Mankind rae Head of Japanese Peace Mission Ar- rives in San Francisco Enroute to His Duties at Versailles Con- ference. SAN FRANCISCO, Cal., Dec, 25.— Nobuaki Makino, head of the Japanese delegation, en route to the Versailles peace conference, atrived here today from Japan on the steamer Tenyo ‘Mara, The party, Which includes several high government Officials of Japan, will depart tomorrow for New York. Marquis Salonji, ranking ambassa. dor of the Japanese peace mission, will Teave Japan by the short Suez route and will be joined in Paris by Baron Makino and the delegates ac- companying him. Baron Makino said he was not av- thorized to discuss any possible poli- cies of the mission. He added that no planis could be made for action at the peace conference until after the arri- val of the mission at Paris and con- sultation there, Baron Makino first came here forty- Sevén years ago, accompanying his father with the mission sent abroad by Japan to proclaim to the world that the nation’s determination was to follow the “open door” policy in the Orient, Statement Issued Im a formal statement upon his ar. rival, Baron Makino said: “The terrible world war is over and the victors will now take council to- gether to make plans for and lay a new, firm and permanent foundation on which civilization and progress, stayed for a time, may resume their upward and onward course. Japan will join the councils of the wise and brave men who have won this war and will contribute her share of the labor which must be furnished for the achievement of this glorious task. “Fifty years ago Japan entered the family of nations. Today Japan is proud to associate herself with those nations in their work for humanity. Fitty years ago the mission from Ja. pan set foot first on the soll of Call- fornia and now again from here a Japanese delegation will start on its wey eastward, ‘proud of the right to stand as comrade and partner among those who have given and are giving 80 much for us all. “We had only a few days’ prepara. tion for the journey half way around the world, and consequently in the hurry of arrarigements to leave bust nece and families we.have had but lit tile time to give to the consideration of the many and perplexing problems that must come before the conference at Versailles, Indeed, for the last seventeen days we have been without connected news, so it would be im: proper, obviously, fof any member of this party to discuss questions either iminently or remoltely scheduled for discussion at Versailles.

E. church, announces the coming of a noted evangelist to his church in the near future.

Campbell Inaugurated— On last Monday Phoenix turned out en masse to witness the inauguration of Thomas E. Campbell as governor of Arizona. Simplicity was a characteristic feature that marked the occasion. In his address, the governor told us just where he stood on matters that intimately affect the colored people of this Commonwealth. He has taken a bold stand in this regard and if his policy of fair play, equal rights and justice to all men alike, regardless of race or color, be adhered to, the black citizens of Arizona will have no cause to regret that they assisted materially in the election of Thomas E. Campbell to the governorship of this grand state. Coming Soon- The Anniversary number of the Phoenix Tribune, containing sixteen pages of bright, newsy matter about Arizona, will be issued soon.

I received my diamond and am wearing it with pride. I shall always be a real, live booster for the Phoenix Tribune." Mr. and Msr. Matthew A.

Turkey was the piece de resistance and it was supplemented with all the necesasry trimmings. The house was decorated with holiday suggestions that lent cheer and happiness to the occasion. 'Tis said that the way you start on New Year's day is the way you will continue throughout the year. If this be true, Phoenix society may look forward to many delightful functions by Mr. and Mrs. White during the coming season. The surprise of the party was the sudden and unexpected appearance of Mr. Larue Moore, who has been stationed at Camp Grant for the past four months. His blushing bride of only four months, who was the most pleasantly surprised of all, was almost overcome with emotion. The feature of the evening was a solo by Mr. M. A. White, title: "When the Boys Come Home." It was the unanimous opinion of the fourteen guests present that this social affair is without parallel in the social happenings of Phoenix. Phoenix Protective League Owing to the ban on public meetings, caused by the prevalence of the flue, the meeting of the Phoenix Protective League was not very well attended. A few met and transacted the most important business before the body. The next meeting is scheduled for the third Monday night in this month at Doris hall, 35 East Washington. Public Schools Close Again— No sooner had the teachers and pupils settled down to honest, sincere work than the closing order again went into effect.

Collins has sold hear beautiful home at 239 South Marina street to Mr. and Mrs. John Jordan and will give possession on the first of February.

Chism Writes— Friends of Mr. and Mrs. Albert Chism will be pleased to read the following letter which was received by the editor: Los Angeles, Cal., Jan. 1, 1919. Editor The Tribune, Phoenix, Arir. Happy New Year to you and your co-workers. Wish you all success in life. I notice that you are trying to reach the 7,000 mark in the way of subscriptions to your paper this year. May you strike the mark at which you aim and may this be a wonderful year for the Phoenix Tribune. I wouldn't be without the Tribune for anything. When my subscription expires, don't stop the paper, keep on sending it and notify me that my time is up and I will remit the cash for another year's subscription. In reading the Tribune, I notice that several old acquaintances of ours have come there to live. Among them is Mr. Thomas Mays of Oklahoma City, a former classmate of mine at Texas College. Inform the society maidens that they had better watch the pulsation of their hearts, for Mr. Mays was a "wonderful" boy in the good old college days. Another school chum that I see mentioned in the Tribune is Mrs. Noble Reaves White. My, it makes me think of the good old school days in New York—I mean Texas. Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Bibbens will entertain with a New Year's party on tomorrow and the men folk will be on the receiving line. I don't think that Mr. Chism will ever look the same if he manages to live through it. He says that it is impossible to make a society chap out of him. What has become of my dear friend Madame O. G. H.? I have not seen her name in the paper since she sprained her ankle. I think you need to berate your society editor, for the Tribune is not publishing as many social events as it should, especially during the holiday season when every one entertains. Keep up the standard of the Tribune in this respect, for the ladies enjoy the society news most. With best wishes, I am. Mr. and Mrs. Chism are former residents of Phoenix and have a host of friends here. Mrs. Chism was one of the leading society matrons of the caipital city when they resided here and the many delightful parties and other social affairs given by her will always be remembered by the society queens of Phoenix. We are in receipt of a letter from Helen Harper Vance of Prairie View, Tex., which informs us that she has been suffering from a severe case of flu. The readers of the Tribune will reemmber Miss Vance as one of the real live wires that helped to make this paper what it is today. She is a student at Prairie View College and on completion of her college work, may become connected with the editorial staff of the Tribune. Flu Ban on In Phoenix— Senor Don Influenza, after several weeks' vacation in other sections of the country, has returned to Phoenix. He is persona non grata in the capital city, nevertheless he is here and indications are that he will spend the remainder of the winter with us. Out of respect to this noble personage, the city health authorities have ordered the moving picture theatres closed and with the exception of church meetings, have placed a ban on all public gatherings. Any family that permits this vile denon to enter their home, will be quarantined immediately. No one, except a physician, nurse and the wage earner of that family will be allowed to go in and out of that home during the period of Senior Don Influenza's visit. The church people are not affected by this order and may attend services as usual on Sunday. Grubba Entertain— On last Tuesday evening, Jan. 7th, Mr. and Mrs. Geo.

Five members of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows in New York City were expelled from the order on charges of conspiracy growing out of the dual meeting of the B. M. C. held in this city last September. The members expelled are: Richard E Warner of San Manual Lodge, No. 1794; Philip A. Levy, Patrick Reason Lodge, No. 7763; William A. Cornelius, B. K.

The acts on which the charges were based were alleged to be the aiding and abetting and taking part in the meeting held at Manhattan Casino last September and calling same the regular B. M. C. of the order. The expelled members have the right of appeal to the sub-committee of management. Last week it was stated that Chas A.

SUPERSTITIONS AND BELIEFS If pigs be killed when the moon is in the wane superstitious people believe that the bacon when cooked will waste away. To dream of a funeral is a sign of a wedding. If your lips itch, it is a sign some one will kiss you. If you drop a dishcloth, someone is coming hungry. Not drinking the whole contents of a cup means disappointment. Whirling an empty chair indicates that a whipping is in store for the transgressor. "How about the lazy man who hurt his eye looking for work?" "That's nothing. How about the industrious safe breaker doing time for making money?" _____ "Is a howling dog a sign of death?" Said Doolittle to Dunn. "Of course it is, if the dog will wait Until I get my gun."

How South Carolina Deals With Negroes How South Carolina Deals With Negroes $3,473,082 for White Schools—$432, 162.19 for Negro Schools (From the Columbia (S. C.) State.) An array of statistics, both comprehensive and enlightening, has been prepared and embodied in the annual report of John E. Swearingen, state superintendent of education. Possibly none of the figures thus presented gives a better index of the relative conditions in the schools of the whites and the blacks in the state than a comparison of attendance figures by the two races and expenditures for school maintenance. During the school year 194,687 white children were enrolled against 199,780 Negroes. Total expenditures for the school year were $3,905,244.19. Of this amount $3,473,082 went to white schools and $423,162.19 was apporticed to the Negroes. White teachers received $2,374,236.16 in salaries and Negroes were paid $384,433.99. The ratio between the whites and blacks was thus nearly eight to one in favor of the whites, although the enrollment in Negro schools was in excess of that of the whites. The average salary paid white teachers is $422.46; average for Negroes $127.76. The number of white teachers employed was 5,620, and the number of Negroes 3,013. There were 4,923 white women teachers, 2,357 Negro women. The average length of the white schools was 135 days against 67 for Negroes. The average number of pupils to the teacher, based on attendance, was 22 for the whites and 44 for the Negroes. During the year 34 school districts consolidated, thereby discontinuing 22 schools.

Everyone who had firearms brought them out and shot a welcome to the infant 1919. The noisy steam whistles blew a steady blast for fully five minutes and everybody in camp knew that 1918 was passing. A dance was given at Smith's Hall and many tripped the light fantastic until the wee sma' hours of the morning. Mrs. Mayme Henderson and infant daughter Ione and Mrs. C. H. Vann and family of Superior arrived in Ray Dec. 31 to spend a few days with their parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Reed. Mr. and Mrs. J. J. McDonald were host and hostess at a very delightful birthday party on New Year's night. The event was in honor of Mr. McDonald's birthday. The house was beautifully decorated for this occasion and green and red were the predominating color schemes. The following menu was served: Chicken Salad Nuts Ham Sandwiches Pimento Sandwiches Fruit Punch Hot Coffee The nuts were served in beautiful little red artificial rose buds and each guest was permitted to keep this little rose bud as a souvenir. Music, whist and dancing were features of the evening. That renowned Beau Brummel of Ray, Mose Davis, and Mrs. Henderson carried away the prize in the latest Fox Trot. Some very clever tricks were performed by Mr. McWilliams, who is some magician. Many toasts and birthday greetings were said. Mr. Lonnie Harris sang a beautiful solo and Archie Lewis "brought down the house" with his recitation of Paul Laurence Dunbar's "Ode to Ethiopia." Mrs. McDonald was the recipient of many expensive gifts. Among those present were Mr. and Mrs. A. Bueford, Mr. and Mrs. F. Smith, Mr. and Mrs. Pat Rivers, Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Harris, Mr. and Mrs. J. A. Lewis, Mr. and Mrs. R. Reed, Mrs. Henderson, Mrs. Van, Mrs. Ross, Miss Inez Stewart, Mr. Mose Davis, Messrs. McWilliams, Coleman, B. B. Moore, L. C. Reese, Mayfield of Hayden, and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Lewis. Mrs. F. Smith has been suffering considerable pain the last few days, caused by a decayed tooth. Mr. and Mrs. Ruben Reed entertained on Jan. 3 with a delightful turkey dinner, in honor of their out of town guests, Mesdames Vann and Henderson of Superior. Only the immediate relatives were present and a very enjoyable evening was spent. The public schools opened again on last Monday, after having been closed for a period of nine weeks on account of the epidemic. Little Billie Lewis, son of Mr. and Mrs. Archie Lewis, celebrated his seventh birthday on New Year's eve. DOUGLAS (By G. R. Kirby) Mr. W. H. Weaver played the part of a real Santa Claus to the two churches here on Christmas. Rev. Kirby, pastor of the A. M. E. church, received as a Christmas gift from this splendid gentleman one sack flour, value $3.50; lard, value $3.10; one can coffee, value $1.10; 20 pounds beans, value $2.20. Rev. Cook, pastor of the C. M. E. church, received one beautiful overcoat. We appreciate the generosity of this gentleman and tender him our best wishes for a hapy, prosperous New Year. May all that is good be his, through the present year and all the years to come. Mr. W. H. Weaver, 1015 Railroad avenue, served a delightful Christmas breakfast to a few friends on the morning of the 25th ult. Among those to enjoy this feast were Rev. J. C. Cook, Mrs. J. E. Thompson, Mr. T. R. Richardson, Mr. C. C. Craft, Mrs. Carrie Davis. Again in the afternoon these people were the dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. Weaver and enjoyed a sumptuous repast. Rev. and Mrs. G.

E. church is mourning the loss of one of its valuable members in the person of Mr. Pope, who passed away during the holidays. He leaves a daughter, a son-in-law, two brothers and a host of friends who will mourn his loss. WINSLOW The first Christmas program of the A. M. E.

Every one enjoyed the afafir and it will go down in history as an event extraordinary for the city of Winslow, Arizona. Mr. Ed Simpson left last week to visit relatives in the East. Winslow social club entertained on December 26 with a little dinner party. The evening was spent at cards and all enjoyed themselves. Miss Cleo Wilson, an accomplished young lady of this city and the only colored girl in the High School of Winslow, stands at the head of her class, surpassing all Caucasians and other nationalities in her grade. Mr. T. H. Creel has just returned from Camp Travis, where he was honorably discharged from the U. S. army. TUGSON (By S. E. Newell) Now that the busy bustle of the Christmas holidays and the great New Year's rush is over, we take time to make an announcement of some of the things that appeared upon the scene for Christmas. There was quite an epidemic of marrying that broke out in Tucson a few weeks prior to Christmas day. There were sergeants, corporals and privates of the 25th U. S. infantry, who came from Nogales to Tucson to have Rev. S. E. Newell perform the sacred rite of matrimony. This seemed to have caused quite a few of the civilians of Tucson to catch the marrying disease, On Christmas day, December 25, a great wedding feast was spread in honor of Mr. James Foster and Mrs. Elma Keys, who were joined in holy wedlock about 3:45 p. m. in the home of Mr. Harry Nelson, a brother of the bride. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. H. Nelson, Mr. and Mrs. Joe Moncree, Mr. E. Alexander, Mrs. May Harris of Los Angeles, Mrs. H. J. Hayes, Mr. C. C. Dodson and a Mr. Hodge. There were some others present whose names I do not know. This was indeed a royal wedding feast. Mr. Joe Moncree ate so much turkey at that feast he has since been known as Turkey Joe. The minister. Rev. Newell, was deprived of the privilege of being present at a splendid Christmas dinner that was prepared by Prof. and Madam C. C. Simmons, but enjoyed some of their feast of fat things at a later hour. On Thursday, December 26, at 7:45 p. m., Mr. George Moore and Mrs. Fannie Harris were joined in matrimony at the apartment occupied by the groom on West Fifth street. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Lee Keys, Mr. Charles King, Mrs. Pogue and her three children, Mr. Robert Charles, Mr. R. H. Battle and Rev. S. E. Newell, the officiating clergyman. A repast of ice cream and cake was enjoyed by all present. One of the young men of Mt. Calvary Baptist church, in the person of Deacon Hiram Banks, and Mrs. T. L. Cheetem, also an active worker in the above mentioned church, found that the marrying fever was stealing upon them. They quietly left Tucson and went to Lordsburg, N. M., at which place they found that nobody seemed to have a marriage license on sale. They then pursued their journey to Deming, N. M., where they were joined in holy wedlock and returned to Tucson to make their home. We regreat to state that this bride has been much indisposed suffering with a very bad foot from the time of her marriage up to this time, yet her husband and other friends here left no stone unturned in trying to minister to all her wants. Mrs. Charles King has been indisposed for several days, but is now rapidly improving. Mt. Cavalry Baptist church rejoiced in a glorious watch meeting service Dec. 31, in which meeting about everybody showed by some outward demonstration a strong and determined will to help push forward the victory of the cause of Jesus Christ. Miss Beulah Jordan was received into full relation with the church. Mr. Carl A. Hardy presented himself to the altar for prayer. This was the work immediately after 12 o'clock. There are many inducements being offered now to the people of our race to come to Tucson. We have perfected a strong labor organization entitled United Brotherhood of Maintenance of Way Employees and Railway Shop Laborers. We are determined through this organization to give protection to the wage earners of our people who come to Tucson. Good lodging houses are obtainable in our little city. A very nice and comfortable place for lodging and light housekeeping is in the charge of Mrs. Emma Williams of West Ochoe street. Mrs. Williams is found busy at all times looking after the many needs for comfort about the big house. She is always anxious to know that everybody is made happy. A display ad will appear in the anniversary edition of the Tribune from this place of business, as it is always kept in readiness to accommodate the transient public. Mrs. Minnie Mosley in North Ninth avenue and Mrs. Rachel Moore on South Meyer street, also Mrs. Pierce, on Concert street, are going to see to it that good nice rooms are always obtainable. Mrs. M. E. Williams has been confined to her bed since the 29th ult. suffering with a severe illness. Sepaking meeting was conducted Sunday night by Rev. R. H. Elliston. Services were well attended. The W. H. M. S. takes care of the church nicely. Miss Thelma Mathias surprised the pastor with some nice cake on New Years' morning.

A tempting repast was served, after which the guests began tripping the light fantastic and danced the old year out and the new year in. A prominent member of Flagstaff society made the following resolution on New Year's day: 'Resolved, That I shall not play cards or dance any more, after this New Year's party; yet, I am afraid that should I become a 'good person,' the Master may call me." Mr. and Mrs. Edward Fields entertained a few friends at 6 o'clock dinner on New Year's evening. Rev. R. E. Lewis and wife arrived in Flagstaff December 31. They have come for the purpose of trying to help us make this a better city to live in. Rev. Lewis having been called to the pastorate of St. John's Baptist church here. The new pastor was suffering with a severe cold on his arrival in Flagstaff and did not open divine services until Sunday evening, Jan. 5. His text was taken from the 122nd Psalm. The opening sermon was witnessed by a large attendance. Owing to the inclementy of the weather, the Emancipation celebration which was planned for Jan. 1, has been postponed till a later date. Mrs. R. E. Lewis, wife of the new Baptist minister, has been confined to her bed since her arrival in Flagstaff, suffering with a severe cold. BISBEE (By Myrtle Threat) Mrs. B. F. Wilson, Sergeant W. Smith and a number of others came over to Bisbee last week from Fort Hauchuca. There are a number of new arrivals in Bisbee. Miss Ambrozine Smith has returned to school. Mrs. Fanny Alexander will leave in a few days for Rochester, Minn., where she will be treated by the Mayo Brothers. Mr. Homer Billops of Douglas was a visitor in the city last week. Mrs. Marsham is an arrival in our city. She has accepted a position as cook at Gus Hagglers. Meetings were held at the St. Paul Baptist church on last Sunday for the first time in ten weeks. Everybody who attended enjoyed the services. Mrs. Watlow has been very ill the past few days, but is much improved at this writing. Mrs. Ed. Thornton has been on the sick list the last few days. We hope for her a speedy recovery. Mrs. Irene Battles is here from Douglas, Ariz., and expects to reside permanently. Mrs. Jane Washington left last Sunday morning for California in her big touring car. She will make her home in that state. She was accompanied by Mrs. Jewel Russel on this trip. Mrs. Russel will spend about three months on the coast, the guest of Mrs. Washington. EL PASO (By Wm. Green) A rousing watch-meeting was held at the Mt. Zlion Baptist church on the evening of December 31. Sister F. Ellison spoke in behalf of the Sunday school. Brother A. O. Bradley led in singing, "Higher Ground." Why Christ came to the earth was ably explained by Rev. R. H. Ellison. Brother Bradley again led in singing 'By and By.' Scripture reading by Sister A. C. Bradley in behalf of the W. H. M. S. Paper by Sister A. E. Span, 'Duty of the W. H. M. S. to the church.' Response by Sister J. D. Moss. Deacon T. W. Williams spoke on the duty of the deacons to the church. Paper by Sister I. A. Gradington, subject: 'The Risen Christ.' Mrs. H. D. Jackson addressed the audience with a beautiful gospel rhyme, after which the speaking meeting began. Deacon L. A. Turner and Brother A. C. Bradley led the speaking meeting. The Mt. Zion Sunday school is a mighty factor in this noble cause of Christ. Mr. J. J. Stevens, Sunday school teacher, is one of our strong members. He is a man who does things. He is an able instructor and an upright Christian gentleman. Mrs. M. E. Williams has been confined to her bed since the 29th ult. suffering with a severe illness. Sepaking meeting was conducted Sunday night by Rev. R. H. Elliston. Services were well attended. The W. H. M. S. takes care of the church nicely.

Mr. Tullis remarked that he enjoyed the Tribune and would not be without it. After enjoying the holidays with her husband in this city, Mrs. Harry Morris has returned to San Francisco. Private Brooks Hayden has proved his ability for disappearing from the scene at the psychological moment. A few of his friends say that he answered the "call of the wild" and "vamoosed muy pronto." Corporals Sanders and Tucker met with an accident this week. Corporal Sanders was thrown from a runaway horse and suffered a few bruises about the leg. While quenching his thirst with a cool drink of soda, Corporal Tucker swallowed a few pieces of glass. We are pleased to report both doing nicely.

Four new members were added to the fold and a neat sum of $17 was raised in the collection. We had a gala day for outdoor life on last Sunday and were greeted with recent arrivals in the Salt River valley. Notable among them are Mr. and Mrs. Judge Taylor and their family of eleven children.

Laboring men and women, insure your time against sickness and accident with the National Casualty Company of Detroit, Mich. You are all right when you can work. What about it when you can not work because of sickness or accident? You should take no chances by neglecting the interest of yourself and family. The great destroyer of our time is, sickness or accident. Some Serious Facts 1. There are 50 doctors to every undertaker. 2. One person is accidentally killed every five minutes. 3. One hundred thirteen persons are accidentally injured to every five that occur. 4. Over 30,000,00 people are disabled by sickness or accident every year in the United States. 5. One out of every two deaths is due to accident. 6. There is enough sickness each year to average 9 days to each person in the United States. 7. Three million ill people are continuously in the United States. 8. Some person is accidentally killed or injured every 3 seconds. 9. One man in every six is accidentally injured every year. 10. Ninety-nine persons are disabled by accident or illness, to every one that dies. 11. In view of these facts, how can you afford to neglect the interest of yourself and family another day? 12. Working man, how can you feel safe without some protection for yourself and family? 13. Accept these statements as true—for they are true; does not common sense suggest the wisdom of insuring your time? 14. Insure your time at once, the very first opportunity you have. 15. Our contracts cover every day lost by sickness or accident. Why You Need Health and Accident Insurance 1. Because the chances are one to six that you will be accidentally injured this year. 2. Because you will need additional money when you are sick or injured. 3. Because of the High Cost of Living, it becomes your duty to insure your wages. I would suggest that you see me at once and have a contract written up that will protect you from the loss of your time when sickness or accidents occur.
