AN ADVERTISEMENT IN THE TRIBUNE IS A DIRECT PERSONAL APPEAL TO COLORED PEOPLE VOL. III. No. 9 ORGANIC UNION WAS IMPORTANT SUBJECT BEFORE CONFERENCE (By Associated Negro Press) CHICAGO, Ill., May 27—The three big Methodist conferences have met and concluded their work of electing bishops and settling many questions of church polity. At Des Moines, the Methodist Episcopal branch broke its Negro bishop deadlock of more than twenty-five years and elected Dr. R. E. Jones ed itor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, and Dr. M. W. Chair, of Washington, D. C. Bishops to superintend the work among the Negro membership of the church. It is declared in Methodist circles, here that this action kills all chances for a union between the north and south branches of the church. Chicago had a special interest in the deliberations of the A. M. E. conference because two of the men elevated to the bishopric are well and favorably known in this city. Dr. W. S. Brooks was for several years the pastor of the St. Stevens church on the west side and Dr. AR. J. Carey has been in the work in this city for a long number of years, and is one of the best known figures in local politics among the Negroes here. The question of church union was one of the large things that possessed a special interest for the colored people of this city. The great bulk of them favored the union idea. Many were afraid that Bishop Phillips' fight on the proposed plan would defeat the project and they are more than pleased that the idea was unanimously adopted at St. Louis. It is expected that Bishop Carey will be appointed to this district. The A. M. E. Zion conference will close its sessions this week at Knoxville, Tenn., after one of the most successful conferences in the history of the organization. The Zionists also voted for union. The election of bishops will take place this week. Dr. P. A. Wallace, Dr. Martinf L. Blalock and Dr. J. W. Woods appear to be the candidates for the high honor. GLOBE--MIAMI (By Mrs. Wm. Young) Mrs. Julia Blackwell returned last week from a pleasant visit to Texas and New Mexico. We are pleased to have her with us again. Mr. W. E.

Ellis, arrived in Globe on the 25th and will deliver her annual address to the sisters of the Eastern Star. We plan a royal welcome for her. Master J. M. Young is convalescing from his recent illness. For the past two years, I, Mrs. Wm. Young have been working faithfully for the Tribune, and now that it has gone into the hands of new owners, I want to say to the Smith brothers, that I shall continue to do my level best.

SEGREGATION LAW DECLARED VALID BY SUPREME COURT (By Associated Negro Press) BALTIMORE, Md., MAY 27—Judge Ambler in the city court decided last week that the provisions of the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Electric Railway company for the segregation of white and colored passengers was legal. The decision was handed down in the case of Lewis H. Davenport, a colored man, who sued the railway company for $5,000 damages for alleged assault by preventing him from riding in a car that the company had set aside for the use of white passengers. The judge declared that the supreme court had recognized the lawfullness of segregation of the races on railways. DOUGLAS By Rev. Major Jones Good Hope Chapter O. E.

Bill Would Provide Fire-Proof Homes For Poor Tenants (By Associated Negro Press) WASHINGTON, D.C., May 27—Senator Wesley L. Jones has introduced a bill in the senate which provides for an appropriation by congress or a municipal bond issue for the construction of 4,000 model, sanitary and fire proof homes for poor white and colored stenants the same to be rented or sold to them at cost.

The 22 sugar parishes produced only 2,510,000 gallons of sirup, as compared with 10,793,000 in 1918, and 5,652,000 in 1917. The entire state produced in 1919 only 3,672,000 gallons of sirup. The Molasses production for 1919 was 12,991,000 gallons as compared with 28,049,000 in 1918, 30,728,000 in 1917, and 26,154,000 in 1916. These figures were announced today by the Bureau of Crop Estimates, United States Department of Agriculture. The Louisiana sugar cane crop of 1919 was one of the shortest since the keeping of records was begun. The trouble began with poor seed, and was augmented by unfavorable weather and scarcity of labor, resulting in uneven stands, grassy fields and low yields.

GOVERNOR OF ARIZONA ENDORSES NEAR EAST RELIEF Stricken Armenia, the bulwark of Christianity and civilization in the Near East for more than sixteen centuries, is now in need of help which I feel will be generously and willingly accorded, not only by the people of the United States but those nations in whose behalf in the late war were made noble sacrifices which brought upon these stalwart defenders of right the vengeance of the unspeakable Turk threatened their extinction and reduced them to a condition of heart-appealing destitution. Eight hundred thousand of these brave, courageous souls must be extended assistance which will tide them over until the next harvest. We as a nation would be recreant to our duty did we not respond to the Macedonian cry which has come to us across the waters. I cannot too strongly endorse the humanitarian work being carried on for the Armenians by the Near East Relief Commission and pledge my co-operation officially and personally in any way I can be of service. Since the long dry spell began it is noticeable there are fewer men who think they can sing. UNIUS UNUM (By Associated Negro Press) ASHVILLE, N.

Charlotte H. Brown and the Rev. J. H. Walker, represented the colored people at the meeting. VOICE OF THE PEOPLE Globe, Arizona, May 13, 1920. Editor, The Tribune: Please allow space in your valuable paper for an answer to the article written by Rev. Wm. Young of Globe and which appeared in last week's issue of this paper. Regarding the organization of a grand lodge in Arizona, I beg leave to say that I believe all the representatives of various lodges in the state who met in Phoenix a few weeks ago and organized a grand lodge, did the best they could under the circumstances. I do not think there was one who voted contrary to the wishes of the lodge that sent him. Naturally, we cannot, hope to please all, as there are always some "sore heads" whom it would be impossible to please. I say this—if our ministers of the gospel would give more time to their churches and less time and attention to lodges and politics, we would have better churches and more converts. Because the Reverend Dr. Young believes as he does, there is no good reason why the whole state of Arizona should hearken to his call. The Apostle Paul says: "Let the world do as it will or may." Therefore, let us be governed accordingly. Yours for a Masonic Grand Lodge in Arizona. BEDFORD TAYLOR, Box 1613, Globe, Arizona. Interesting Facts Brought Out By a Study of the Records Filed With the State Board of Health During the first three months of 1920, there was registered with the state board of health 1,819 babies. This would be at the rate of 7,278 a year. There were 6,591 births registered in 1919. The increase does not indicate any sudden access of population. It merely indicates that under the pressure of the state health department, more babies are having their rights protected. At the birth rate for the registration area of the entire country, this would indicate a population of 298,279 for Arizona. At a very conservative figure, it is estimated that there are still so many oversights in the registration of births, that the Arizona record is at least 12½ per cent faulty. With this correction, it would make the probable population about 335,000. It is of interest to note that there were 946 boys (52%) and 875 girls (48%). In some of the counties there was an even break at different times. In February, Pima reported 44 births on a 50-50 basis and Yuma, in March, reported 14 boys and 14 girls. There were 13 pairs of twins. There were 19 illegitimate children reported, one in a hundred. No illegitimate babies were reported from Graham, Mohave, Pinal or Yuma counties. The ages of the fathers and mothers is illuminating as the following table shows: | Ages. | Fathers | Mothers | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Under 21 | 40 | 365 | | 21 to 30 | 815 | 982 | | 31 to 40 | 683 | 422 | | Oyer 40 | 281 | 50 | There were nine times more mothers under 21 than fathers. The greater number of both fathers and mothers were under 30. But after 30, the fathers began to shine. Nearly half as many again of men were parents between the ages of 30 and 40. And after 40, the women recede dismally. There were only 50 mothers over 40 while there were more than five times that many ancient fathers. Of first born; there were 495 babies, 27 per cent of the whole. In families of over 10 children, 75 babies, .05 per TRIBUNE (By Associated Negro Press) COLUMBIA, S.

He purchased some rabbits last week. He now has a dog, a cat, two foxes, nine chickens, a goat and some rabbits. He is negotiating for the purchase of a cow. Where do we go from her, Frank? cent of the whole were born. These figures make it evident that race suicide is not one of the vices Arizona needs fear. A record of deaths shows that 68 baibes were stillborn. In other words, one in 28 babies were born dead. Also 288 died in the first year. This indicates that two in every thirteen babies died before they were a year old, while the rate for the registration area of the country is 2 in 22 in 1917, and 2 in 20 in 1918. The deplorable fact is that many of these deaths could have been prevented. After all, it is a little funny that a war which has made everybody rich should have made all the nations poor.

THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH The Methodist Episcopal church saw the handwriting on the contrary to the experience of Belshazzar, when weighed in the ear of our Lord, was not found wanting. The great church always stood in the front line of human advancement, has just shadows of our group, a victory, after a fight of more than twenty. With the event accomplished, where there were nearly a dozen, with only seventy-odd Colored, there was great joy, singled from Whom All Blessings Flow" and the "Battle Hymn of a seemed like old times. The tide for real justice is on, and Episcopal church, with its democratic membership and militia, directing the way. The two men elected, Bishop Robert E. Jones and Bishop are the finest types of Christian manhood. However, it is not the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which, as most things known on the color line, will accept the unification plans under conditions. There will have to be more praying for more graves to the children of the Lord in the land of sunshine. There may they will some day see the true meaning of "the fatherhood of brotherhood of man."

The Methodist Episcopal church saw the handwriting on the wall, and contrary to the experience of Belshazzar, when weighed in the balance, this ear of our Lord, was not found wanting. The great church, which has always stood in the front line of human advancement, has just elected two shops of our group, a victory, after a fight of more than twenty-five years. With the event accomplished, where there were nearly a thousand delegates, with only seventy-odd Colored, there was great joy, singing of "Praise od from Whom All Blessings Flow" and the "Battle Hymn of the Republic." seemed like old times. The tide for real justice is on, and the Methodist episcopal church, with its democratic membership and militant leadership, directing the way. The two men elected, Bishop Robert E. Jones and Bishop M. W. Clair, are the finest types of Christian manhood. However, it is not believed that the Methodist Episcopal Church South, which, as most things southern, falls down on the color line, will accept the unification plans under the present conditions. There will have to be more praying for more grace to be given to the children of the Lord in the land of sunshine. There may be delay, but they will some day see the true meaning of "the fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man." It is a great pity that having eyes that see not, they are unaware of the fine blessings they are missing. They will never experience the real joy of "pure religion and undefiled" until they can reach the day when they can have an experience similar to that great day in Des Moines, another day of Pentecost, indeed. On the other hand, behold the magnificent advance step for unification of the African Methodist Episcopal church, the African Methodist Episcopalion and the Colored Methodist Episcopals. Their combined power for good cannot be estimated. Their future opportunities for upholding the true gospel of justice before a waiting world cannot be measured. These are great times through which we are passing. The Filipinos like us well enough, but do not think much more of our laws than do some people right here at home. It would be more seemly if cities boasted less of their gains in population and more of increased housing facilities.

S. signal regarding news print paper, and the space now possible for both news and advertising; therefore, it becomes a duty to "briefify" on all stories, no matter how important or interesting. Consequently, what happened in Chattanooga, Louisville, St. Louis and Tuskegee Institute, during the tour of the Kansas City Pilgrims will have to be squeezed down to real condensed mince meat size. Chattanooga, of course, aside from the fine Tennessee hospitality, was greatest in Civil War historical interest, in which it abounds "world without end." If you know history, then you know what a tour of the battlefields and to famous "Lookout Mountain" means. You know that every foot of the ground is filled with thrills, from the time the union statoin is reached and the old engine of the raiders greets you in impressive silence, until you hear the Negro gude Parker eloquently and marvelously describe every detail of the engagements, and your picture is taken from the top of "Umbrella Rock." The members of the local Business Laegue "did their duty" with reference to arrangements and entertainment.

BAYLESS BREAD IS BEST—JUST TRY IT Louisville, made famous by Editor Stewart, Henry Watterson and Roscoe Simmons, was a distinct surprise in one particular; no city visited has a larger number of beautiful homes, on well-kept streets, and owned by the occupants, than are found in the chief Kentucky city. When people own the homes in which they live, they are worthy to be called "substantial citizens." Being substantial, it next follows that the people are alert to do things worth while, so Louisville is getting into the new era of achievements. With its schools, libraries, Mammoth Insurance company, and other enterprises, it to be added to state banks, in the making, but nearly ready to open their doors. The Knights of Pythias building and the high school are other concrete evidences of material progress. The day closed in Louisville with a business men's banquet at the Hotel Simmons. The final stop of the tour was at St. Louis, Mo. There is something significant about that stop. There has always been great rivalry between the two chief cities of the "Show Me" state, St. Louis and Kansas City. St. Louis is doing some fine things, but the business folk seem to think that Kansas City "stole a march" when the southern tour was projected and carried out. "Why couldn't we have thought of that first," said one man in a tone of chagrin. But St. Louis has Summer High School and the Malones. Summer High School, presided over by Prof. Williams, is a magnificent masterpiece of educational privileges. In size, beauty of architecture scope of work and efficiency, it is excelled no where in the country except by Dunbar in Washington, D. C. The tourists made a general inspection of the school. "Kansas City must have one to excel it," said one of the visitors, thus keeping up the good work of rivalry. Poro College, and Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Malone need no introduction or description. Mr. Malone had not returned from Cuba, but his fine spirit of hospitality and enterprise were there, and Mrs. Malone was there, the most wonderful woman of the Race at this time in material achievement, and one whose extraordinary modesty and democartic hospitality must be known and enjoyed to be fully appreciated. Here is an illustration of Mrs. Malone's modesty: during the tour of inspection of Poro College, the visitors were shown through the luxurious private apartments of Mr. and Mrs. Malone. Mrs. Malone, with some friends, cordially received the party, and heartily grasped the hand of each individual, but it was all done in such an unostentatious way, that upon arriving at the auditorium several of the men complained because they had not "seen Mrs. Malone." At that time, although the entire touring party was on the stage, Mrs. Malone sat in the body of the auditorium, and upon urgent request was escorted to the stgae by a committee, amidst great applause. Mrs. Malone's remarks were brief, but this fine gem of thought was dropped: "When I learned of the coming of the successful men from Kansas City, I thought what a fine inspiration it would be for our young people. White business people are constantly traveling in groups but we have never before witnessed a scene like this." When thieves fall out then other thieves get scared. He who discovered gossip came very near to the discovery of the secret of perpetual motion. BREAD IS YOUR Cease be Bread is Weight any other food no waste.

Hunt stopped shortly and "buttonholed" Fitzhugh. "There's another plum on our little tree," he went on enthusiastically, while the passersby bumped and jostled them from side to side, "that's just about as juicy as this one was. It's—but come on to lunch and I'll tell you all about it." They lunched at Hunt's club. Or, rather, Fitzhugh did. Hunt ate nothing. He was too euhlulent. He elaborated his plan, going extensively into details, producing endless data from his pockets, while the untasted food grew cold before him. "So you see," he wound up, "there's nothing to it but a bull market. There'll be a big rebound just as sure as we're sitting here. Symington Otis is my strongest point. As I said before, I'm nine-tenths certain he'll turn bull again, now he's walloped the man he went after, and you know what that means. He'll send wheat up like a balloon—he's strong enough to do it. All we need do is to climb into the basket and participate in the grand ascension." "As you have wisely pointed out, Hunt," began Fitzhugh, turning the fragile stem of his wine glass between his long fingers, "we had better step cautiously at first—sort of feel our way. There's never any telling what pitfalls may lurk below tranquil waters. Afterward, we'll wade in boldly. Merely as a starter, I give you my check tomorrow for twenty-five thousand. I'm not saying what I'll do after that." As they were leaving the club, Fitzhugh turned to his companion and, as though suddenly reminded of some inconsequential thought that had occurred to him earlier in the day, said carelessly: "Oh, by the way, Hunt, I'm thinking of opening a small banking account in Chicago. I wish you'd introduce me to your bank." For once Hunt was mistaken. There was no boom in December wheat. True, there was a reaction, for when the bears removed the pressure the abnormally low market began gradually to assume a natural level. But winter wheat, which Hunt had expected to mount by leaps, dragged slowly, ascending, to be sure, yet moving little by little—an eighth or a quarter at a time. Once or twice, in some sudden flurry, it even went off half a point. Hunt was very much puzzled. "There's a screw loose somewhere," he told Fitzhugh, after one of these unexplainable stumps; "but I can't figure out just where." Of late, Fitzhugh had been studying indefatigably the hundred and more different conditions which, directly or indirectly, affect the Chicago wheat market. He devoted hours to this, where another man would have devoted minutes, and his brain, so keen, so quick to grasp every salient detail and appraise its true value, enabled him to view the present situation with a far clearer vision than that of Hunt. "I think I know where the wobbly place is," he replied, "and, unless I'm mistaken, it's going to shake the whole machine to pieces before long. Hunt, we'll have to draw out. If we don't, our little craft will be swamped, and she'll sink like a rock. For my part, I want to sell every bushel of wheat I own tomorrow morning." They called a taxicab and repaired forthwith to Fitzhugh's newly leased apartment in a newly erected building in Lincoln parkway. It was for bachelors exclusively, this building, and if its smart elevators, smarter attendants and potted plants and costly appointments were any criterion, it was also exclusively for wealthy bachelors. The Japanese servant served dinner, after which Fitzhugh and his guest sauntered to a front room, evidently intended for a library and study, and there ensconced themselves before a low bay window commanding a magnificent view of the lake. Hunt settled himself contentedly in a chair, whose soft cushions embraced him in a delicious manner, lazily emitted a stream of cigar smoke and allowed his gaze to wander about the beautiful room, replete with soft tones and colors. Suddenly Fitzhugh stood up. "Let's get down to business, Hunt." He spoke very briskly and, crossing the room, took from the round safe embedded in the wall several packets of papers secured by thick elastic bands. These papers contained a mass of data covering the past seven weeks, consisting of crop reports, statistics from many different sources, newspaper clippings and telegrams and cablegrams that had exhausted his ready money to the last cent. He walked to a heavy desk of solid mahogany, switched on the light that was a miniature of the gorgeous one on the table, and spread the papers on the flat top of the desk. And while Hunt sat opposite, following him with concentrated attention, he went over them point by point, dwelling fully on every detail, explaining clearly the reasons for his belief. So lucidly did he do this that a child might have followed him. "My deductions are substantiated," he summed up, "by the fact that Otis and his following are not bulling the market as you supposed they would. What's more, they're not going to bulb it. I've put myself in their place. Otis and company will make their attack when the enemy is in its most vulnerable state, and that's just the condition the enemy's in now." There was a conversational pause, while Hunt reperused some of the papers scattered about the desk. "So you think we'd better unload?" he said finally, sitting back and me- THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING floning to Haki to fill his champagne goblet. "As though our lives depended on it." Hunt watched the servant fill his glass, then lifted it and surveyed his host solemnly across its rim. "So be it," he rumbled in a sepulchral voice. "The blame be upon your head if we lose." Fitzhugh's prediction was bountifully fulfilled next day. December wheat went tumbling and crumbling. Hunt, thanks to Fitzhugh, managed to squirm from under with a whole skin and a few thousands profit. Hurrying through the outer office of Burton & Burton, he spied Fitzhugh and fell upon him with open arms, pressing into his hand a check for thirty thousand dollars. "What htd we better do now, Dan?" "Sell December wheat. It's going to zero. This slump will keep up indefinitely." "Right-o!" Hunt was fairly burning with excitement—the gambler's excitement, than which there is none more feverish. "You may sell half a million for me. You'd better sell an equal amount yourself." Fitzhugh produced a slender check-book and started to fill out a check. Abruptly he paused, bit his lip, made as if to return his fountain-pen to his pocket. "I forgot something," he said slowly. "What's wrong, Dan?" Hunt looked properly solicitous. "My—a draft. Should have been sent from New York day before yesterday. My brother has it, but he's suddenly fallen ill. Probably forgot all about it. That's all. I'm sorry, Hunt, but I can offer you nothing except my personal check, and that'll be only for a few thousands." In a flash all of Hunt's reverence for wealth and his desire to toady, to it were to the front. What an opportunity to be of service to this man of millions! He could have wished for nothing better. "Don't worry about that for a minute, Dan." He spoke with the utmost friendliness. "I'll attend to your margins for you. Five hundred thousand, I believe you said?" "Yes." Fitzhugh rapidly filled out a check for twenty thousand dollars. "Take this, anyhow, Hunt." He tore the check from the book. "Just as an evidence of good faith," he laughed. The counter took the check in the same jocular spirit in which it was offered, scarcely glancing at its figure. After a little they parted. Hunt hastening to the private office of Burton, senior. Fitzhugh went straight to his bank and deposited the thirty thousand dollars. Immediately afterwards he started back to the Board of Trude. When nearly there, however, he stopped, paused irresolute, then turned and walked slowly in another direction. For over an hour he roamed restlessly about the loop. He seemed infirm of purpose, almess of destination. Once, without exactly knowing why, he entered the post office and strolled absently about the dark corridors. He was leaving by the western entrance, when, happening to glance to his left, he saw on the glass over a doorway, "General Delivery." He came to a dead halt. A hot blush of shame pricked him. He felt suddenly mean, contemptible. He entered the room and asked if there were any mail for Daniel Fitzugh. The clerk handed him a half-dozen letters postmarked from a small town in Russia. He opened and read them one by one standing near the window. In all of them Esther breathed her love for him, yet there was a difference as the letters progressed. In the first two she wrote chiefly of him and secondly of the work she was doing for the Cause. The next one was solely about him and there was a more insistent note in her passionate declarations. In the third was a tone of despair, a hint of fond hopes fast slipping away; and the last two were filled with bitter reproaches, piteous pleadings—jealousy! From a word she let drop in one of the earlier missives he divined she was in dire need of money. Even at that moment she might be suffering from lack of necessities. He stuffed the letters in a cont pocket, went to his bank and procured a bill of exchange to her order for a thousand dollars. At one of the public desks he wrote on the back of a deposit-slip: "The goal is not yet in sight, but I'm running fast." This he attached to the draft and sealed in an envelope, which he addressed and mailed to her while remorse was hot upon him. From the post office he went to a hotel in Randolph street, asked for stationery and wrote the following: I have just received bad news. My brother is at the point of death. Must hurry to his bedside. May see you in a couple of weeks. Meanwhile, good luck! Yours, F. He directed this to Hunt's home address, took it to the district messenger office in the hotel and left orders for its delivery at nine o'clock. Had anyone looked for Fitzhugh that night in his apartment, or in the theaters or hotel lobbies, or in any of the other places where he usually spent his evenings, it would have been in vain. He would not have been found. But in a vile saloon in lower Clark street a tall, trampish-looking man with a pointed beard, attired in ragged bibimiliments and wearing low upon his brow an old slouch hat fully half a size too large, was carousing deliriously with the muddled denizens, leading eams them in maudlin song, and inciting them to drunken ribaldry. CHAPTER VIII. Fitzhugh's debauch lasted two weeks. Then he sobered up and went home. Under cover of the somnolence that enveloped the apartment building at four o'clock in the morning he stole up the six flights of stairs to his rooms Vincent van Gogh He Stole Up the Six Flights of Stairs to His Rooms, Unobserved, and Let Himself In Without Awakening His Valet. unobserved, and let himself in without awakening his valet. He removed his shabby apparel, his decrepit hat, secreted them in a wardrobe and went to the bathroom. When he entered his bedroom, glowing from a brisk scrub and attired in silk pajamas, he looked a little tired. It was not, however, a physical tiredness. Fitzhugh felt, mentally, like a man who had taken a very arduous journey in search of gold only to find he had been chasing a rainbow. He climbed in between the snowy sheets of his bed and lay very still. His eyes were closed, but he was not asleep. "It doesn't pay," he muttered presently, and opened his eyes in surprise at his own voice. He added with firmness: "No—nothing to it. It doesn't pay." After a while he turned over and went to sleep. He was wide awake at nine and was dressing two minutes after. He rang for his man. "Get me a morning newspaper," he said, when Haki appeared, "and have breakfast sent up." For two weeks Fitzhugh had not seen a newspaper, and when Haki returned with one he snatched it from him and turned to the financial page with a nervous excitement he rarely permitted himself to display. A glance at the market quotations sufficed to show him that December wheat had taken a gigantic tumble, just as he had predicted fifteen days ago it would. Folding the paper and tossing it on the dining table, he sat down and computed his winnings. Deducting every possible outlay and expense, there was now due to him something like one hundred thousand dollars. By the time he had finished his computation an appetizing breakfast was spread before him and, thrusting pencil and envelope in his pocket, he fell to with a relish. He propped the paper against the shining coffee pot and as he ate ran an eye over the headlines. Presently he paused midway in the act of buttering a hot roll and leaned suddenly forward to read something that particularly interested him. It was about Quigg and Peevy. Quigg had inaugurated his "grand little mail-order scheme," and it had gone swimmingly. But its flourishing growth was not unobserved by Uncle Sam's post office boys and it had been nipped before it bloomed. In consequence, the ambitious exponent of disillusionment and his unassuming colleague were now undergoing imprisonment. "Poor Quigg!" In spite of his sympathy, Fitzhugh smiled. "He was a pretty good sort, after all." Directly after his breakfast he went to his study and called Hunt on the telephone. "Good morning, Mr. Fitzhugh," came promptly over the wire. "Eh? . . . Yes! I have a check for you. Ninety-eight thousand dollars—Oh, when did you get back from the East, and how is your brother?" Fitzhugh flicked the ash from his cigarette and rolled it between his long forefinger and thumb, studying its glowing end. After a pause he said: "I returned last night. My brother is much improved—almost recovered, in fact. When may I see you, Hunt?" "Meet me at Burton's, at ten." A few inconsequentialities, and Hunt "hung up," rather abruptly. Although he was not quite positive, Fitzhugh thought he detected in his voice a note of unnaturalness, even of unfriendliness. He seemed too polite, too precise. At Burton's these suppositions were made certainties. Hunt acted in a very unwonted manner. After delivering the ninety-eight thousand dollars he fell strangely silent, speaking only when asked a direct question, and, when he thought he was unnoticed, watching his co-operator with sidelong glances of suspicion. And Fitzhugh noted he was no longer "Dan" to him, but "Mr. Fitzhugh." At last he could restrain himself no longer. Unless the prune can do something to prove that it has alcoholic potentialities, it must expect to be snubbed by the now proud and haughty raisin. Lloyd George believes the Turks ought to stay in Constantinople. The Armenians wish they would. After the Flume question is settled D'Annunzio will find out whether he is to be a hero or a scapegoat. Liberty and Victory bonds must be due for an upturn or the burglars would not steal so many of them. That joke about talk being cheap is not so amusing as it was before those telephone rates were increased. The greedy profiteer is likely to discover that the enforced do-without habit of the consumer will be hard to break. Russia has efficient armies and abundant raw materials, but the armies are tired of feeding on raw materials. Bolshevists, discovering that they need it in their business, are now busily engaged in trying to establish a government. Trade is existing on a false pasis when it hopes to prosper from the extravagant spending capacity of the reckless few. Carranza and the sultan of Turkey might get together and start a bush league of conspicuously incorrigible small powers. What the politicians and the people want are short, fast sprints for the nominations and not long-distance endurance races. Unless something is done about it presently the silk shirt may become the distinguishing mark of the American proletariat. If city boys could be brought to realize the attractiveness of country girls the shortage of farm labor might readily be overcome. It is just as well to bear in mind that everybody who can spell or pronounce, "proletariat" is not necessarily an economist or deep thinker. Lives there a political aspirant who has not been hailed by the fellow townsmen as the next incumbent of the office to which he aspires. An eminent Spanish novelist counsels American men to treat their wives rough. It's plain he knows nothing of the feminine swing in America. More trainers than athletes have offered to participate in the next Olympic games at Antwerp. Well there are more advisers than bosses on every job. Holland assures the world that the Hohenzollern person may be expected to take root there like one of its famous tulips, little as he resembles one. Somebody threw a bomb at the Egyptian minister of public works, and now he has resigned. Showing thereby that he knows how to take a hint. China is said to be sympathetic to bolshevism, but it will be disillusioned when it discovers that bolshevism means hard work, hard fighting and hard times. Speculation is now running riot in this troubled country. The allies are now getting Turkey down to the hash stage. The Turkish problem is not so much Izet Pasha as how long will it be. It looks as though there might be more favorite sons than States. However, under private ownership the Pullman porter will continue to accept tips. If the ouija board could be used in place of the telephone, it would be worth while. What the political leaders are trying to discover now is an issue that will not cut both ways. Consternation has seized all Italy, where it is feared that D'Annunzio's spring drive may be a poem. The price asked nowadays for heads of cabbage indicates that shortly they will be used as settings in scarf pins.

Stringent economic conditions are likely to result in a shortage of old clothes to wear a-fishing. The Turks are not worried so long as the massacreable supply of Armenians remains inexhaustible. Things in general would be a whole lot more satisfactory if prices dropped as frequently as the mercury. Mustapha Pasha, from his capital at Angora, beyond the reach of naval guns, defies the allies to get his goat. At least no one can complain of the dullness of the times. Religion of the tongue is vastly different from religion of the heart. A "heck" of a salesman is often a shrimp of a buyer.
