VOL. VL—NO. 8 COLORED PERSONNEL TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL VIRTUALLY ASSURED (Preston News Service) WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 22—According to the latest reports available from the Veterans Bureau, Director Hines is proceeding with the original plan, in keeping with the expressed wishes of the late President Warren G. Harding, of installing a complete Negro Personnel in the Veterans Hospital at Tuskegee, in announcing that six Negro physicians have been selected for duty at the hospital and would leave for their posts within the next two or three days. Director Hines said, "There had been no change in the original plan or policy which has been the subject of protest by white residents of Tuskegee." Director Hines would not indicate when the present white commanding officer would be replaced, but it was understood that he would remain for the time being, together with most of the white physicians now on duty there. This, of course, caused some of the Negroes interested in the affairs at the institution to be somewhat suspicious, or rather dubious as to the outcome of the situation. After rejecting one plan submitted by a committee of white residents of Tuskegee for white control of the hospital, which they asserted had been promised by the Treasury committee when the site was donated, Director Hines conferred again with the committee here about ten days ago. It was said then that an arrangement satisfactory to the committee had been arranged. Negroes all over the country are not altogether satisfied with the situation and will not be until they know fully all the details of the secret arrangement between the Director and the white committee. It is thought that this latest announcement is just a sop to ward off the insistence of the Negroes for a complete Negro personnel at the institution. Some are inclined to think that the present coterie of white men at the hospital will not be removed, and when they are the whites of Tuskegee will raise such a howl that Director Hines will find it "necessary" (?) to reinstate them.

Y., Aug. 28—The Knights of the Ku Klux Klan and the Kamelia are restrained from acting as chartered and incorporated benevolent fraternal organizations within the confines of New York state under a decision handed down by Supreme Court Justice Staley, last Tuesday night. Judge Staley supports the contention of the state attorney general that the incorporation certificates of the twin orders illegally altered and failed to give them powers of a "board and indefinite scope." The act of incorporators was held to be illegal and unauthorized and an imposition and fraud upon the court which cannot under the requirements of the statute be tolerated or excused. The names of the particular organizations were replaced by the words "men's fraternals orders" and "women's fraternal order", before they were filed with the Secretary of State. The change, it was held, increased the organization's powers from a definite limitation to a board indefinite scope. COLORED AMERICAN LEGION CONDUCT WM.

MARYLAND SENATOR AGAINST DYER BILL TEETH AND TOE NAH BALTIMORE, Md., Aug. 23—"I am a Democrat from the South, and traditionally in favor of retaining as large police power in individual states as possible," declared Senator Bruce in expressing his opposition to the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill. "On the other hand, I am more strongly opposed to the barbarous practice of lynching and I am in favor of eradicating lynching. My method will be for the states to deal with the problem individually, by effective action. What I think should be done is for a large number of leading men, white and colored, in the southern states, to unite in a written appeal to the governors of those states to recommend to their legislatures the passage of some uniform law that, in addition to the penalties prescribed by the ordinary law of the land for homicide, would impose severe penalties on all public servants concerned with administration of justice who refused or failed to protect, to the full extent of their ability, a victim of lynching." He also said, "I favor the law already enacted in some sections—afine against the county in which a lynching is permitted to occur, the time to go to the family of the victim. Such legislation in a few of the states which have been most disgraced by lynching, would remove all feeling of necessity for anything like the Dyer bill, and would also be an advertisement of great material value to the states adopting it." Senator Bruce is from Maryland. TUT JACKSON WINS VIA THE K. O. Muncie, Ind., Aug. 23—The big boy form Ohio has shuffled off the jinx and is back at his old stunts—K.

COLORED MAN CHOSEN FOR JURY SERVICE IN FLORIDA COURT COLORED MAN CHOSEN FOR JURY SERVICE IN FLORIDA COURT Tampa, Fla.—For the first time since "reconstruction days" when Negroes were in control of the local County government, a black man was summoned for jury service. The case was that of Elmo Lloyd a white man, charged with murder, and Clifton Roberts was the juryman. When the colored man appeared in the jury box, responded to his name and took his seat with the white men also named in the regular and special veniures, there was much craning of necks on the part of spectators. The news spread rapidly and was the subject of much discussion in the various offices. Little comment was made by court officials. Sheriff W. C. Spencer said that no mistake was made, for Roberts was decidedly dark and that another colored man, Lewis Williams was also on call. According to B. L. Blackburn, supervisor of registration for Hillsborough county, Chief Justice Whitfield of the Florida supreme court, and Judge Brown both advised the propriety of placing names of Negroes on the list of veniremen Mr. Blackburn said he had talked with both of the state officials when he was at Tallahssee during the recent session of the legislature and they said Negroes were eligible for jury work. Mr. Roberts did not get an opportunity to act, however, as continuance was asked for and granted until the next term of court.

KU KLUX KLAN TAKES CONTROL OF SCHOOL IN INDIANA, AVERS (Preston News Service) Valparaiso, Ind., Aug. 25—The Ku Klux Klan has finally succeeded in getting control of Valparaiso University, one of the oldest educational institutions in this section. The new trustees of the school are klansmen and the principles of the un-American organization are to be taught in the school to the youth of America. The klan announces that the school will be open to persons meeting the educational requirements. It is said that a bible course will be installed as well as a well defined course in constitutional law. The slogan, it is said, for the school will be true Americanism and the entrenchment in the minds of the youth of the country the fundamental principles upon which this country was founded and established. The woeful lack of true American ideals make it necessary for the klan to endeavor to inculcate into the minds of the youth the sound principles of American life and good government, as fostered by the Ku Klux Klan WHITE MAN KILLS NEGRO WITH AUTO WRENCH; FREED (Preston News Service) (Preston News Service) Goldsboro, N. C., Aug. 23—During an alleged argument last Tuesday afternoon between John Grantham, aged 50 years and R. E.

Hood clams that he was compelled to defend himself against the Negro who was pursuing him with a knife and that he struck Grantham with the wrench in selfdefense. There were no witnesses to the affair and the coroner rendered a verdict of justifiable homicide which atomically released the white man from custody. KENDELL PISTON RINGS Kendell Piston Rings embody a number of scientific and mechanical features that are arousing considerable interest among the trade. They are of two-piece construction, an inner or expansion ring and an outer or packing ring. A special analysis iron being used, which after having been thoroughly seasoned is further improved by a special returning process on the expansion ring, producing what is termed an 'even-radius' type ring, having equaradial expansion every thirty degrees on the entire circle, all points having equal pressure. This is especially beneficial in slightly out of round cylinders. A non-clogging oil wiper is also provided in this section of the ring. The outer or packing section is of softer non-resilient iron, being turned with an inner surface on a 55-degree angle, the expansion ring having an externally inclined face of the same angularity, thereby relieving groove pressure and increasing pressure on the circumference, lengthening the life of the expansion ring. This has also proven to be a non-carboning feature. All draw-backs such as deepening of ring grooves, drilling of pistons, oil regulations, springs, pins or other objectional features have been eliminated. The ring is also backed up by the manufacturers with an absolute money-back guarantee. For Further details, write Department (A) Kendell Motor Products Company, Fort Wayne Indiana, U. S. A.

MOTON TELLS BUSINESS MEN WHERE HE STANDS DR. ROBT. R. MOTON TELLS BUSINESS MEN WHERE HE STANDS Hot Springs, Ark.-For the first time since the controversy over the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Dr. Robert R. Moton recently in a public address, declared his position and his hopes regarding the personnel of the hospital which has attracted so much attention and newspaper space recently. And while his statement was brief, yet it was to the point and was perfectly clear as to how he stood on that all-important question before the public eye. During his annual address as President of the National Negro Business League, Dr. Moton took advantage of the occasion and said "there has been much said about me in connection with the Veterans' hospital situation at Tuskegee. I have refrained from making a public statement. I did not think it necessary under the circumstances. "I stand to-day where I have always stood—for a Colored personnel from top to bottom. I could not do otherwise and be true to my people." This statement coming from Dr. Moton at this time brought forth wild appause from the large audience which packed the City Auditorium. Those who are very close to Dr. Moton say he has taken the same position and has made the one answer all along—"I will not change." He has pointed out the inconsistent light he would be placed in, in operating Tuskegee. All the threats and intimidations did not move him. He has been quoted as saying, following a threat: "I would rather die than yield." Colored Personnel Assuured It was definitely learned here tonight, that opposition on the part of the white people of Tuskegee to a Negro personnel has completely broken down. So no more opposition from them is expected. A full Negro personnel is assured by General Hines. Director of the Veterans' Bureau at Washington. The only hitch just now is finding Colored men qualified in the different branches who will accept the positions. This in the eyes of the Bureau, will be overcome in the near future. TUSKEGEE HOSPITAL WILL BE MANAGED ENTIRELY BY COLORED Washington, Aug.-The Veterans' Bureau is proceeding with its original plan of installing a complete Negro personnel in the Veterans' Hospital at Tuskegee, Alabama.

Yet we must not class all friends among them. Many of us have the very bad habit of classing all white people as the enemy of colored people. This is as unwise as unjust. American history shows that there have always been white people who were friendly to and made great sacrifices for colored people. Unfortunately for us, however, in the white as in other races, the ignorant are largely in the majority, and we, being "the under dog" are naturally made victims of the brutality that the ignorant generally exercise when in power. We see this spirit among children in their play with each other, and we also see throughout the animal kingdom that the strong oppress the weak. During slavery days, "the red-neck, cracker, hilly-billy, poor white" type were themselves kept down by the aristocratic, arrogant slave owner, but since the war that class has had full sway, led by Tillman, Vardaman, Smith and others. In consequence, the colored man is persecuted in every way from the cradle to the grave. Yet we must not class all whites alike for we have many friends among them.

The church was crowded to the doors to see his "worst sinner" join the church. Several joined but none was considered the "worst". The next day the parson met "Bud" Jones, owner of a dance hall and a noted gambler, and said, "You told me you were converted and would join my church Sunday night. You caused me to announce a lie." Bud said, "I've changed my mind, the devil still has a string on me." "Well, I'm going to beat the 'devil' out of you," said the parson, who forthwith knocked Bud down with a straight right to the jaw. In police court, the parson pleaded guilty to a charge of assault. The members of his church paid his fine. New way, perhaps a little costly, of ridding people of the devil.

THE PHOENIX TRIBUNE—ALWAYS IMPROVING The Cross-Cut (Continued from last issue) The Cross-Cut (Continued from last issue) only given enough time, we'll whip him. I'm going home to bed now. I've got to be up early in the morning and get hold of Farrell. Your case comes up at court." "And I'm up in a 'ospital!' Which fact the court the next morning recognized, on the testimony of the interne, the physician and the day nurses of the hospital, to the extent of a continuance until the January term in the trial of the case. A thing which the court further recognized was the substitution of five thousand dollars in cash for the deeds of the Blue Poppy mine as security for the ballee. And with this done, the deeds to his mine safe in his pocket, Fairchild went to the bank, placed the papers behind the great steel gates of the safety deposit vault, and then crossed the street to the telegraph office. A long message was the result, and a money order to Denver that ran beyond a hundred dollars. The instructions that went with it to the biggest florist in town were for the most elaborate floral design possible to be sent by express for Judge Richmond's funeral—minus a card denoting the sender. Following this, Fairchild returned to the hospital, only to find Mother Howard taking his place beside the bed of Harry. One more place called for his attention—the mine. Health returned slowly to the big Cornishman; it would be a matter of weeks before he could be the genial, strong giant that he once had represented. And in those weeks Fairchild was constantly beside him. Nor that there were no other things which were represented in Robert's desires—far from it. Stronger than ever was Anita Richmond in Fairchild's thoughts now, and it was with avidity that he learned every scrap of news regarding her, as brought to him by Mother Howard. Dully he heard that Maurice Rodaine had told friends that the passing of the Judge had caused only a slight postponement in their marital plans. Finally, back to his normal strength once more, Harry rose from the arm- W. M. KINNEY "We're Going to Work Tonight," He Announced. chair by the window of the boarding house and turned to Fairchild. "We're going to work tonight," he announced calmly. "When?" Fairchild did not believe he understood. Harry grinned. "Tonight. I've taken a notion. Rodaine'll expect us to work in the daytime. We'll fool 'im. We'll leave the guards on in the daytime and work at night. And what's more, we'll keep a guard on at the mouth of the shaft while we're inside, not to let nobody down. See?" Fairchild agreed. He knew Squint Rodaine was not through. And he knew also that the fight against the man with the blue-white scar had only begun. The cross-cut had brought wealth and the promise of riches to Fairchild and Harry for the rest of their lives. But it had not freed them from the danger of one man—a man who was willing to do anything in the world, it seemed, to achieve his purpose. Harry's suggestion was a good one. Well, then Harry ran, to do much as Fairchild had done, to chuckle and laugh and toss the heavy bits of ore about, to stare at them in the light of his carbide torch, and finally to hurry into the new stope which had been fashioned by the hired miners in Fairchild's employ and stare upward at the heavy vein of riches above him. "Wouldn't it knock your eyes out?" he exclaimed, beaming. "That vein's certainly five feet wide." "And two hundred dollars to the ton," added Fairchild, laughing. "No wonder Rodaine wanted it." "I'll sye so!" A long time of congratulatory celebration, then Harry led the way to the far end of the great cavern. "Ere it is!" he announced, as he pointed to what seemed to both of them never to be anything more than a fissure in the rocks. "It's the thing that saved my life." Fairchild stared into the darkness of the hole in the earth, a narrow crack in the rocks barely large enough to allow a human form to squeeze within He laughed. "You must have made yourself pretty small, Harry." "What? When I went through there! Sye, I could 'ave gone through the eye of a needle. There were six charges of dynastite just about to go off beind me!" Again the men chuckled as they looked at the fissure, a natural, usual thing in a mine, and often leading, as this one did, by subterranean breaks and slips to the underground bed of some tumbling spring. Suddenly, however, Fairchild whirled with a thought. "Harry! I wonder—couldn't it have been possible for my father to have escaped from this mine in the same way?" "'E must 'ave." "And that there might not have been any killing connected with Larsen at all? Why couldn't Larsen have been knocked out by a flying stone—just like you were? And why—?" "'E might of, Boy." But Harry's voice was negative. "The only thing about it was the fact that your father 'ad a bullet 'ole in 'is' ead." Harry leaned forward and pointed to his own scar. "It 'it right about 'ere, and glanced." "But the gun? We didn't find any." "E' ad' it with 'im. It was Sissie Larsen's. No, Boy, there must 'ave been a fight—but don't think that I mean your father murdered anybody. If Sissie Larsen attacked 'im with a gun, then 'e' ad' a right to kill. But as I've told you before—there wouldn't 'ave been a chance for 'm to prove 'is story with Squint working against 'im." He ceased and perked his head toward the bottom of the shaft, listening intently. "Didn't you 'ear something?" "I thought so. Like a woman's voice." "Listen—there it is again!" "Mr. Fairchild!" They ran to the foot of the shaft, and Fairchild cupped his hands and called: "Who wants me?" "It's me." The voice was plainer now—a voice that Fairchild recognized immediately. "I'm—I'm under arrest or something up here," was added with a laugh. "The guard won't let me come down." "Walt, and I'll raise the bucket for you. All right, guard!" Then, blinking with surprise, he turned to the staring Harry. "It's Anita Richmond," he whispered. The bucket was at the top now. A signal from above, Fairchild lowered it, to extend a hand and to aid the girl to the ground, looking at her with wondering, eager eyes. In the light of the carbide torch, she was the same boyish-appearing little person he had met on the Denver road except that snow had taken the place of dust now upon the whipcoord riding habit, and the brown hair which caressed the corners of her eyes was moist with the breath of the blizzard. Some way Fairchild found his voice, lost for a moment. "Are—are you in trouble?" "No." She smiled at him. "But out on a night like this—in a blizzard. How did you get up here?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I walked. Oh." she added, with a smile, "it didn't hurt me any. The wind was pretty stiff—but then I'm fairly strong. I rather enjoyed it." "But what's happened—what's gone wrong? Can I help you with anything—or—" Then it was that Harry, with a roll of his blue eyes and a funny waggle of his big shoulders, moved down the drift toward the stope, leaving them alone together. Anita Richmond watched after him with a smile, wailing until he was out of hearing distance. Then she turned seriously. "Mother Howard told me where you were," came quietly. "It was the only chance I had to see you. I—I—maybe I was a little lonely or—or something. But, anyway, I wanted to see you and thank you and—" "Thank me? For what?" "For everything. For that day on the Denver road, and for the night after the Old Times dance when you came to help me. I—I haven't had an easy time. Most of the people I know are afraid and—some of them aren't to be trusted. And—you—well, I knew the Rodaines were your enemies—and Ive rather liked you for it." "Thank you. But—" and Fairchild's voice became a bit frigid—"I haven't been able to understand everything. You are engaged to Maurice Rodaine," "I was, you mean." "My engagement ended with my father's death," came slowly—and there was a catch in her voice. "He wanted it—it was the one thing that held the Rodaines off him. And he was dying slowly.—it was all I could do to help him, and I promised. But—when he went—I felt that my—my duty was over. I don't consider myself bound to him any longer." "You've told Rodaine so?" "Not yet. He's coming after me at midnight. We're to go away some where." "Rodaine? Impossible!" "I've made all their plans. I—I wondered if you—if you'd be some where around the house—if you'd—" "I'll be there. I understand." Fairchild had reached out and touched her arm. "I—want to thank you for the opportunity. I—yes, I'll be there," came with a short laugh. "And Harry, too. There'll be no trouble—from the Rodalnes!" She came a little closer to him then and looked up at him with trustful eyes, all the brighter in the spluttering light of the carbide. "Thank you—it seems that I'm always thanking you. I was afraid—I didn't know where to go—to whom to turn. I thought of you. I knew you'd help me—women can guess those things." "Can they?" Fairchild asked it eagerly. "Then you've guessed all along that—" "I want to thank you for those flowers. They were beautiful." "You knew that too? I didn't send a card." "They told me at the telegraph of face that you had wired for them. They—meant a great deal to me." "It meant more to me to be able to send them." Then Fairchild stared with a sudden idea. "Maurice's coming for you at midnight. Why is it necessary that you be there?" "Why—" the idea had struck her too—"it isn't. I—I hadn't thought of it. I was too badly scared, I guess. Everything's been happening so swiftly since—since you made the strike up here." "With them?" "Yes, they've been simply crazy about something. You got my note?" "Yes." "That was the beginning. The minute Squint Rodaine heard of the strike I thought he would go out of his head. M. "Why Is It Necessary That You Be There?" I was in the office—I'm vice president of the firm, you know," she added, with a sarcastic laugh. "They had to do something to make up for the fact that every cent of father's money was in it." "How much?" Fairchild asked the question with no thought of being rude—and she answered in the same vein. "A quarter of a million." That's why "A quarter of a million. That's why I'm vice president." "And is that why you arranged things to buy this mine?" Falchild knew the answer before it was given. "I? i arrange—I never thought of such a thing." "I felt that from the beginning. An effort was made through a lawyer in Denver who hinted you were behind it. Some way I felt differently. I refused. But you said they were going away?" "Yes. They've been holding conferences—father and son—one after another. They're both excited about something. Last night Maurice came to me and told me that it was necessary for them all to go to Chicago, where the head offices would be established, and that I must go with him. I didn't have the strength to fight him then—there wasn't anybody nearby who could help me. So I—I told him I'd go. Then I lay awake all night, trying to think out a plan—and I thought of you." "I'm glad." Fairchild touched her small gloved hand then, and she did not draw it away. His fingers moved slowly under hers. There was no resistance. At last his hand closed with a tender pressure—only to release her again. For there had come a laugh, shy, embarrassed, almost fearful—and the plea: "Can we go back where Harry is? Can I see the strike again?" Obediently Fairchild led the way, beyond the big cavern, through the cross-cut and into the new stope, where Harry was pleking about with a gad, stirling to find a soft spot in which to sink a drill. He looked over his shoulder as they entered and grinned broadly. "Oh," he exclaimed, "a new miner!" "I wish I were," she answered. "I wish I could help you." But Harry had turned and was staring upward. His eyes had become vide, his head had shot forward, his whole being had become one of strained attention. Once he cocked his head, hen, with a sudden exclamation, he leaped backward. "Look out!" he exclaimed. "'Urry, ook out!" "But what is it?" "It's coming down! I 'eard it!" Excitedly he pointed above, toward the black vein of lead and silver. "'Ury for that 'ole in the wall—'urry, I tell you!" He ran past them toward the fissure, yelling at Fairchild, "Pick 'er up and come on! I tell you I 'eard the wall moving—it's coming down, and if it does, it'll bust in the 'ole tunnel!" CHAPTER XVIII Hardly realizing what he was doing, or why he was doing it, Fairchild seized Anita in his arms and, raising her to his breast as though she were a child, rushed out through the cross-cut and along the cavern to the fissure, there to find Harry awaiting them. "Put 'er in first!" said the Cornishman anxiously. "The farther the safer. Did you 'ear anything more?" Fairchild obeyed, shaking his head in a negative to Harry's question, then squeezed into the fissure, edging along beside Anita, while Harry followed. "What's doing, Harry?" "Nothing. That's the funny part of it!" The big Cornishman had crept to the edge of the fissure and had stared for a moment toward the cross-cut leading to the stope. "If it was coming, it ought to 'ave showed up by now. I'm going back. You stay 'ere." A long moment and he was back almost creeping, and whispering, as he reached the end of the fissure. "Come 'ere—both of you! Come 'ere!" "What is it?" "Sh-h-h-h-h-h. Don't talk too loud. We've been blessed with luck already. Come 'ere." He led the way, the man and woman following him. In the stope the Cornishman crawled carefully to the staging and, standing on tiptoes, pressed his ear against the vein above him. Then he withdrew and nodded sagely. "That's what it is!" came his announcement at last. "You can 'ear it!'" "But what?" "Get up there and lay your ear against that vein. See if you 'ear anything. And be quiet about it. I'm scared to make a move, for fear somebody 'll 'ear me." Fairchild obeyed. From far away, carried by the telegraphy of the earth—and there are few conductors that are better—was the steady pound, pound, pound of shock after shock as it traveled along the hanging wall. Fairchild turned, wondering, then reached for Anita. "You llisten," he ordered, as he lifted her to where she could hear. "Do you get anything?" The girl's eyes shone. "I know what that is," she said quickly. "I've heard that same sort of thing before—when you're on another level and somebody's working. Isn't that it, Mr. Harkins?" Harry nodded. "That's it," came tersely. Then bending, he reached for a pick and, muffling the sound as best he could between his knees, knocked the head from the handle. Following this, he lifted the piece of hickory thoughtfully and turned to Fairchild. "Get yourself one," he ordered. "Miss Richmond, I guess you'll 'ave to stay 'ere. I don't see 'ow we can do much else with you." "But can't I go along—wherever you're going?" "There's going to be a fight," said Harry quietly. "And I'm going to knock somebody's block off!" "But—I'd rather be there than here, I—I don't have to get in it. And I'd be scared to death here. I wouldn't if I was along with you two, because I know—" and she said it with almost childish conviction—"that you can whip 'em." Harry chuckled. "Come along, then. I've got a 'unch, and I can't sye it now. But it'll come out in the wash. Come along." They started up the mountain side, skirting the big gullies and edging about the highest drifts, taking advantage of the cover of the pines, and bending against the force of the blizzard, which seemed to threaten to blow them back, step for step. No one spoke; instinctively Fairchild and Anita had guessed Harry's conclusions. The nearest mine to the Blue Poppy was the Silver Queen, situated several hundred feet above it in altitude and less than a furlong away. And the metal of the Silver Queen and the Blue Poppy, now that the strike had been made, had assayed almost identically the same. It was easy to make conclusions. They reached the mouth of the Silver Queen. Harry reconnoitered a moment before he gave the signal to proceed. Within the tunnel they went, to follow along its regular, rising course to the stope where, on that garish day when Taylor Bill and Blindeye Bozeman had led the enthusiastic parade through the streets, the vein had shown. It was dark there—no one was at work. Harry unhooked his carbide from his belt, lit it and looked around. "It ain't coming from 'ere!" he announced. "It's—" then his voice dropped to a whisper—"what's that?" Again a rumbling had come from a distance, as of an ore car traveling over the tram tracks. Harry extinguished his light, and drawing Anita and Fairchild far to the end of the stope, flattened them and himself on the ground. A long wait, while the rumbling came closer, still closer; then, in the distance, a light appeared, shining from a side of the tunnel. A clanging noise, followed by clattering sounds, as though of steel rails hitting against each other. Finally the tramming once more—and the light approached. Into view came an ore car, and behind it loomed the great form of Taylor Bill as he pushed it along. Straight to the pile of ore he came, unhooked the front of the tram, tripped it and piled the contents of the car on top of the dump which already rested there. With that, carbide pointing the way, he turned back, pushing the tram before him. Harry crept to his feet. "We've got to follow!" he whispered. "It's a blind entrance to the tunnel som'eres." They rose and trailed the light along the tracks, flattening themselves against the timbers of the tunnel as the form of Taylor Bill, faintly outlined in the distance, turned from the regular track, opened a great door in the side of the tunnel, which, to all appearances, was nothing more than the ordinary heavy timbering of a weak spot in the rocks, pulled it far back, then swerved the tram within. Then, he stopped and raised a portable switch, throwing it into the opening. A second later the door closed behind him, and the sound of the tram began to fade in the distance. Harry went forward, creeping along the side of the tunnel, feeling his way, stopping to listen now and then for the sound of the fading ore car. Behind him were Falcreid and Anita, following the same procedure. And all three stopped at once. The hollow sound was coming directly to them now. Harry once more brought out his corbide to light it for (To be confirmed) SATURDAY, AUGUST 25, 1923 111 cigarettes 4 more one hundred 24 for 15¢ the AMERICAN TOBACCO CO.

Madison St. Cent Discount BOY SCOUTS (Conducted by National Council of the Boy Scouts of America.) SCOUTS AT WINTER CAMPS A big thought in scouts' minds at this time is winter camping. Camping with its health-giving work and play is so vital a part of a scout's activities, that the keen frosty air only serves to enhance the joy of life out-of-doors. Six hundred and fifty scouts of Greater New York spent the holidays at the big Bear Mountain camp. The program consisted of scouting's combination of out-of-doors work and educational training. The day's routine was as follows: 7:00 a. m. revelille, 7:05 a. m. callisthenics, 8:00 a. m. breakfast (hot pancakes) etc., 9:00 a. m. to 11:00 a. m. instruction and games, 12:00 noon dinner (piping hot), 1:00 p. m. to 2:00 p. m. rest period; 2:00 p. m. to 4:00 p. m. competitive games, hockey, skating, toboganning, snowshoeing, skiing, etc.; 5:30 p. m. mess, 7:00 p. m. camp fire, 9:00 p. m. taps. In Chicago the Kiwanis club of Englewood, Hyde Park and Woodlawn have furnished two cabins in the forest preserves not far from the city. On the site is an artificial lake amid beautiful rustic surroundings. The Kiwanis officials have turned over "the keys of the preserves" to the scout officials for the use of the boys. Ames (Iowa) council prepared a Christmas vacation camp for its "hard as flint" campers. The forest ranger in charge of the state park where the boys camped, requested the scouts to assist him in the establishment of new trails, in marking these and the existing trails, in clearing brush from the scenic points, and in maintaining feeding stations for the wild life which is abundant in the park. Besides these camps, hundreds of others will be conducted during the winter and attended by the sturdy scouts bent on making themselves strong and fit for present and future citizenship and service. SCOUT SAVES COMPANION On the day of the following rescue, Harold Beal, thirteen-year-old scout of Westerly, N. Y., was in swimming with five companions when one of the boys became exhausted while beyond his depth, and sank beneath the surface. Beal saw his chum's predicament and started to swim towards the boy, who had come to the top and gone under the second time. When he came to the surface Beal grabbed him by the hair and started to pull him toward the shore. Another lad of the party attempted to help Beal, but was pulled under by the struggles of the half-drowned boy, and Beal had to complete the rescue alone. When the rescuer and the rescued reached land the latter was resuscitated by methods taught the troop in their life saving work and soon the lad was able to go to his home without assistance. Scout Beal is an extremely modest hero and the story of the rescue would never have been told were it not for some of the witnesses who insisted the boy's heroism be made known to his scout leaders. NEW DEPARTMENT FOR SCOUTS Out of the 18,614 scout troops, 8,230 are in territory in which a local scout council does not exist. To render these troops the same special, direct, personal service that local councils can give, a new department has been created at the national office, with George W. Ehler as director. This "Department for Troops Not Under Council" will have control of the consideration of applications for registration of troops not under council, troop organization and management, merit badge activities, etc. Among other responsibilities which this department will develop and care for are: proper organization of new troops, co-operation with established troops, promotion of advancement of scouts, consideration of and help in individual scoutmaster's problems of organization and management. STUDY SCOUTING IN SCHOOLS The value of the boy scout movement in citizenship training has caused the board of education, Atlanta, Ga., to embody a course on scouting in the school curriculum. The work will be given in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades in the form of a course in civics based on the scout movement. Study of the course will not entitle students to rank as scouts. It is given to acquaint pupils with the alms and scope of the movement. SCOUT SAVES BROTHER By means of his stocking and a stick which he picked up in a brook nearby, Scout Edwin Howard of Du-Boisetown, Pa., saved his brother Warden from bleeding to death. The boys were playing when Warden fell, cutting an artery in his leg. Following his first-ald instructions, Edwin made a tourniquet of the stick and the stocking and applied it above the wound. The doctor stated that the scout had saved his brother's life by stopping the flow of blood. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Crawford of 43 West Lincoln, entertained a number of little friends of their little son, Gerald Crawford, on his fourth birthday, Friday, August 17. After several games were played, sherbert and cake were served. He was the recipient of many useful presents. Among those who attended were: Wanda, Elmer, Jr., and Henrietta Williams, Louis Simon, Mildred and Scottie Oby, Marcelle and Lilian Sims, Myrtle and Joe Turner, Juanita, Inez and Herbert Sawn, Joseph Leta Mae and Justin Davis, Walter Brown, Jr., Mrs. Louis Wright, Mrs. Mattie Sumling, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brown, Miss Erma Jones, Mrs. James Davis, Mrs. Pearl Sims, Mrs. Sawn, Mrs. Elmer Williams, Mrs. Lucinda Roberts, Mrs. Katie Conyers Mr. Albert Allen and Mr. Adrain Smith. The Rev, A. C. Moore, pastor of the A. M. E. church, has completed his year's work and will leave Sunday evening at 6 o'clock for Denver, Colo., to make his report to the Annual Conference. Dr. Moore came to this charge in November from the church in Sapulpa, Okla., and in spite of handicaps, he and his estimable wife have worked faithfully and accomplished much good during their nine months with this congregation. Dr. Moore is an able minister, erudite scholar, an ideal pastor and a lovable Christian gentelman. Mrs. Moore, with her sweet disposition, has won the hearts of the entire church and has been a great help to Dr. Moore in his work here. As they go to the annual conference, the best wishes of the people of Phoenix accompany them. The C. M. E., Second Baptist and A. M. E. Sunday schools held their annual picnic a few days ago at the old country club grounds in North Central avenue. A large crowd of children and older people went and enjoyed themselves to the highest. The affair was managed by the superintendents of the three Sunday schools, Messrs. G. S. Rodgers, J. Garner and Geo. Hardiman, heads of the Baptist, C. M. E. and A. M. E. schools respectively. The children were given ice cream, water melons and all the ice water they could drink. Swimming and other sports engaged the attention of the picnickers until a late hour when all returned to the city feeling much better because of having made the trip.
