POLITICAL PROGRAM FOR COLORED PEOPLE OUTLINED BY WRITER QUERY AND ANSWER COLUMN By Ye Editor This government is based upon the fundamental idea that each man, no matter what his occupation, his race, or his religious belief, is entitled as be treated on his worth as a man, and neither favored nor discriminated against because of any accident in his position.—Theodore Roosevelt. POLITICAL P FOR COLOR OUTLINED If we were to write the Negroes political program for the next ten years it would be this: 1. Urge and educate every Negro man and woman to vote. Teach citizenship. 2. Secure policemen in every community where Negroes reside. This is usually a civil service matter. But it is very, very important to the proper protection of our people. 3. Elect members of the race to the "minor judiciary," as justices of the peace, constables and magistrates. Let no community be without a Negro justice. 4. Run Negroes as candidates for membership of the Boards of Alder men and City Council. 5. Run a Negro for the state legislature. 6. Run Negroes for Congress where the Negro population is dense. There should never be an election in any large city or community where there are no Negroes on the ticket. We have been carefully studying ballots in Philadelphia for many years, and we do not remember a single primary election in which there was not the name of a Jew, an Italian, and a woman, in recent years. But there have been many on which no Negro's name appeared. One mistake the Negro makes, he is too timid to run unless "slated." But it is the running to test your strength that is QUERY AND AN By Ye W. J., Prescott. Will you please answer in you question column if there is a penalty for sending anon- ymous letters through the mails. Ans. There is no penalty unless it carries criminal threat or other- wise contains unlawful matter. It is then punishable according to the degree of the offense. T. K., Tucson. Please answer what is a mollycoddle and what does he look like. Ans. Ask yourself that question and then take a look into a mirror for your answer. L. S., Bisbee To settle an argu- ment will you state in your paper if Brooklyn bridge is the longest bridge in the worlds? Ans. No. The Williamsburg bridge is nearly a half-mile longer and the St. Charles (Mo.) bridge is 500 feet longer. P. D., Nogales What is the largest railroad system in the world? Ans. The New York Central system, with over 14,000 miles of track. G. F., Douglas. I wish to ask in your Query and Answers what is the native country of the mocking bird? Ans. the mocking bird is semitropical and may be found in any state south of the Ohio river. Subscriber, Los Angeles. Will you be kind enough to tell me who were the people known as the Boil, and in what time did they live? Ans. The Boil were a Celtic people that emigrated from Gaul into Italy about 300 B. C. Being defeated in battle by the Romans about 200 B. C. they crossed the Alps and settled in Bohemia, which derived its name from them. Later they were exterminated by the Dacians, now known as the Bohemians. F. J., Denver, Colo. I am writing you to find out on what day of the week was June 17, 1775, the battle of Bunker Hill? Ans. June 17, 1775 was on Saturday. Fan, Winslow. When did Owen the principal thing: the "slating" or whatever you call it, comes only as a result of a test of strength. 7. Negroes must not fall out with one another or maligan one another because we are of different parties or different factions of the same party. Political thinking brings political difference. Oftimes the men who "bolt," even though a small minority, do more good, for the "regulars" even though they lose, than those who are "regulars" can do for themselves. 8. Demand appointive officers in all departments of city, county, state and national government. In this connection we cannot but admire the broad platform sent out by Mr. William C. Matthews, the leader of the Negroes in the recent Coolidge campaign. Mr. Matthews, who is a native of Alabama, and a graduate of Harvard, a lawyer by profession, has shown able leadership, and should have support in his program. 9. Remember always that political prestige cannot come without religious educations and economic improvement; and that while the few must be active in politics, must study it, and be able to honestly advise and lead us in politics, as the preacher does in religion, and the teacher in education, the great majority of us must devote our energies, to the fundamentals upon which politics must rest.—Christian Recorder, Philadelphia. Moran fight Attell, and how many rounds? Also what was their nationality and their native country. Ans. The Attell-Moran fight occurred on Sept. 7, 1908, and resulted in a draw after 23 rounds. Moran was an Irishman, but lived in London, and was the champion pugilist in the featherweight class in the British Isles. Attell was a Jew, a native of California and champion featherweight pugilist of the world. E. C., Flagstaff. Does the editor of the Query and Answer column believe in dreams? Ans. Not by a jug full. Not so long ago he dreamed you came in and paid your subscription. H. S., El Paso, Tex. Did John Brown hold any commission in the Civil War? Ans. No John Brown was captured and hanged in 1859. This was before war was declared. H. S., Mesa. Do the people on the Island of Korea speak Chinese or Japanese? Ans. The Korean language belongs to the Mongol-Tartar Japanese and Chinese. It has words borrowed from the Chinese, but in sound it differs widely from their language. In grammar it is nearly identical with Japanese. R. T., St. Louis, Mo., I was born on Jan. 4, 1854. Will you please tell me what day that was? Ans. You were born on Sunday. B. G., Boston, Mass. I want to ask you why a person's voice that rebounds back is called an "echo?" Ans. In mythology echo was a nymph who fell in love with Narcissus, who was not susceptible to her tender passion. As her love was not returned, she pined away until nothing was left but her voice—the echo. R. L., Cleveland, Ohio. I was born on Jan. 28, 1882. What day of the week was I born. Ans. You were born on Friday. Reader, Topeka, Kan. Would it be WE ORIGINATE----OTHERS IMITATE PHOENIX, ARIZONA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1924 Christmas Buyers Urged to Shop Early By P. O. Department The shop early, mail early campaign inaugurated by Postmaster General New last year proved to be an unqualified success. It was of great benefit to the people and also enables post-office employees to deliver all the Christmas mail before noon on December 25. The department again this year asks the hearty co-operation of the public in order that the record made last year may be equalled, if not excelled. When you shop early and mail early you are helping the clerks in the post office to eat their dinners home and you are greatly benefiting yourselves. You have a greater chance to secure a better selection of gifts from the stores, you have more time to wrap them securely and you are sure that they will arrive at their destination in time to be opened Christmas morning. You are also relieving the burdens on the clerks behind the counters in the stores, and you are giving a practical demonstration of the good will that Christmas time signifies. Acting Postmaster General, John H. Bartlett requests that you refrain from using small envelopes in sending your Christmas cards as this very greatly retards the sorting and distribution of the mails. Let all of us pull together this year, do our shopping early and do our mailing early, let's make it a genuine old-fashioned Christmas celebration. New Sanatarium for Colored People Is Opened in Phoenix Mrs. Rachael M. Henderson and her husband Mr. James Henderson, have established an up-to-date Sanitarium at 1709 East Madison St. They have built a number of new cottages and furnished them for healthseekers. Mrs. Henderson is a cook of no mean ability and this means that the patients at the Elizabeth Dixon Sanitarium will receive the best food obtainable. Several patients are at the resort and they still have room for a few more. This place is located in an ideal spot, just the right distance from the noise and dust of the city, where one may quickly and surely regain his health. The Elizabeth Dixon Sanitarium fills a long felt need and is a welcome addition to the colored enterprises of this community. AID GOSPEL CAMPAIGN WASHINGTON, D. C.-The ad column of the newspaper is the latest method for religious campaigning. In a campaign to "call people to the church," the commission of Evangelism of the Federal Council of churches urged newspaper advertising by churches throughout the country. Co-operation by business offices of newspapers to make the advertising effective has been asked by the church organization. The advertising will be placed by churches or church organizations and will be in addition to church items printed in news columns. Dr. Charles L. Gatchell, Secretary of the commission, explained that since "news columns cannot as a rule carry the straight gospel message," its place is in the advertising columns, "in this way," he said, the church can reach the people who enter the church." "There are the people, many of them friendly to the church, but indifferent, that we want to reach in this campaign," he added. "This has never realized the wonderful opportunity of the advertising columns. Too often it has been satisfied with using them for mere announcements of service though this has its place and is worth while, the church must realize its greater task of using advertising for the sake of salvation. all right for a girl to accept her first proposal of marriage if she knows she loves the boy and the boy loves her. Ans. It depends upon how old both are. If either are under 21 years of age they had better wait awhile. Ira O'Neil to Leave For Coast Sunday To Seek Real Action Ira O'Neil, middleweight champion of Arizona, will leave for an invasion of the coast Sunday, he announced today. Lack of action around Phoenix is responsible for the departure of O'Neil. O'Neil is one of the greatest crowd pleasers in the state. He has whipped every one around here, including several of Jack Dempsey's former sparring partners, also Sammy Cimminelli, who is telling the folks on the coast he is from Phoenix. Plans for the invasion call for O'Neil to leave here Sunday, making stops at Mexicalli, Los Angeles and San Francisco. While in Frisco the battler will be under the wing of George Wilson, who is handling Mike Doyle, another Phoenix boy. Just how long O'Neil will remain on the coast depends on his success in obtaining bouts, he said today. Mesa joined in the observing of Armistice day some of our people going to Phoenix to take in the State Fair. Bethel A. M. E. church is doing splendid work. Our S.

Mr. and Mrs. Beasley and family of Tyler, Texas have arrived in the Gem City and bought them a home on South Morris St. Mrs. Wilson of S. Morris St. has as her guest two brothers who have just arrived from Texas to give Mesa the once over and perhaps to locate here. Mrs. Tomato Harris of Los Angeles is visiting her mother and family of S. Morris St. for a few days when she will return to the Angel City. She is looking fine. Mrs. Sallie Beatty of Chandler was out to service Sunday morning and we were all happy to have her with us. Her health hasn't been very good the last few months. The Washington school is crowded new pupils are coming in daily and the president of the P. T. A. urges all of the parents to come out to meeting. There are quite a few things that are calling out attention. Mrs. Matthews of Laurence, Kan., is here visiting her husband and his sister, Mrs. Harry Scott of East Newell avenue. Perhaps she will visit here till spring. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Hudson of Sioux City, Iowa have returned to Mesa to again make this their home. They are remodeling their home on 3 Morris St. Mrs. Ludie Johnson is on the sick list at this writing. Bethel A. M. E. church has set Dec. 7th as rally day. We hope all the members of Tanners Chapel will assist us in this rally and friends as well. We are trying to lift the mortgage so as to be able to build us a church so as to have a place to get our people together. Come one and all and help us. Mr. and Mrs. J. Chavis of Chandler are readers of the Tribune. They have been doing lots of work on their place and will soon be bringing us pretty flowers from their yard. Mr. Claude Beatty had an accident while out motoring a few days ago but is able to be around again. Big Rally for the A. M. E. Church To the friends and lovers of the gospel. You are invited to come to Mesa, Ariz., on the first Sunday in December, and help us in our effort to build a church. Dinner on the grounds. Dr. Douglas will preach at 11 a.m.. Dr. Harbert is invited with his good people to conduct service at 3 p.m. Come over and help us at 44 North Morris St REV. T. B. J. BARCLAY, P. C. Young Roosevelt should have known better than try to overcome all the "Smith" votes! Girls Reserve Take Active Part in Civic and Social Affairs The past week has been an active one for the members of the Golden Link club. A Hallowe'en party was given which was greatly enjoyed by all. Each girl invited her different friends and participated in many interesting games. Dancing was the one thing which was spontaneously received by all. Everyone in his or her mask was a mystery but those who best eluded discovery were Lucille Easter and Jennetta McKinney. Apples, cocoa (cookies and candy were served and the party ended to everyone's regret. The following day, the cabinet members went to Tempe where an inter-club council was held. Each officer received instructions and advice which will benefit her in her club work. Wednesday a cabinet meeting was held and after discussing the previous party and drawing up plans for the next meeting, the meeting was adjourned. To add to the bustle of the week, a committee was chosen from the club to serve at the reception given in honor of the new doctor and nurses at the Booker T. Washington hospital. MADELINA COOK Publicity chairman Great Progress Now Being Made by Negroes In All Sections of U. S. FLORIDA—Negroes in the U. S. are making excellent progress along all right lines and deserve the commendation of their white friends and fellow citizens for advancing, as a race. The national Negro business League, with headquarters in Chicago, has compiled figures which are interesting. They show that throughout this country the Negroes are advancing in education, in business and the professions. The Negroes of the country have acquired 660,000 homes, which is understood to be an increase of 270,000 in the last 25 years. They are said to operate a million farms, which is nearly 25 per cent increase in the period mentioned and conduct business enterprises to the number of 65,000—a gain of 45,000. The aggregate wealth of the Negroes of the country is placed at $1,700,000,000. This latter figure is indicative of an increase of more than a billion in the last quarter century. It is claimed in the Chicago reports that eighty per cent of the Negroes in the United States can read and write. There are two million Negro children in the public schools—and that fact should be emphasized for the benefit of those who pretend to think that the Negro is not well treated or given fair chance in the South. The schools of the South, where the majority of Negroes dwell, are very largely maintained at the expense of the white people. To give an idea of the proportion of the burden borne by the Negroes themselves, it is stated, in the same report, that "Negroes raised for the education of their race about $2,000,000 in 1924—which was double the amount raised by them in 1900." The total amount expended for their education is given at $32,000,000, with school property for higher education valued at $30,000,00. Church property is valued at $90,000,000, which is an increase of 50 per cent for the period In the professions, the Negroes now claim more than 2,000 Negro actors, 50 architects, 259 artists, sculptors and teachers of art, 315 authors, 207 chemists, 1063 college presidents, 946 lawyers, 3752 musicians and teachers of music, 507 photographers, 3430 physicians and surgeons, 184 technical engineers, 3341 trained nurses, of whom 3199 are women, 31,352 barbers, hairdressers and manicurists. It is important to find that the progress of the Negro is not confined to any section of the country, but is generally distributed. If we do not learn by actual experience, it's a pretty good sign that there is something radically wrong with our cranium. MRS. O. G. HOWARD ENTERTAINS WITH BRILLIANT RECEPTION In The Editors Mail Conspicuous among social activities of the season was the reception given by Mr. and Mrs. O. G. Howard at their palatial home, "The Villa." 726 West Grant street, from eight until 12 p. m., in honor of their relatives, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Cromartie of St. Augustine, Fla. From the beginning of the appointed hours until their end, automobiles, taxicabs, and limousines brought groups of happy guests who entered into the spirit of the occasion. Beautifully gowned ladies and conventionally attired gentlemen lent their happy chatter to the already joy-charged atmosphere in this lovely surrounding of flowers and other decorations about the living, reception and dining rooms. Indeed, these were beautifully decorated. The dining room was a masterpiece of art, from the exquisite handwrought table linen with its embroidery and lace, to the soft-toned lamp shade of pink and white which concealed the lighted dome inverted over the table. All this intensified the softness and lovliness of the scene, as did the porch and lawn which were decorated with soft Japanese lanterns. Mrs. Cromartie was extremely Phoenix, Ariz Dec. 5, 1924 Dear Sir: In renewing my subscription to your paper I would like to say now that the election is over that it might be a good policy for your race of people to LOCAL NEWS Enters Business Here Mr. L. A. McCarty of Prescott, Arizona has sold out his business in the Mile High City and will cast his lot with the good people of Phoenix. He has entered the real estate business with Mr. H. H. Rice and their office is located at 438 East Jefferson street. The firm of Rice and McCarty has closed some big deals lately and their customers are well pleased. They have a big listing of city and country property and if you want to sell, rent or buy anything in the real estate line, you will do well to see them first. Purchase Closed Car Dr. N. R. Greenlee, clinician at the Booker T. Washington Memorial hospital and Sanitarium, purchased a classy little Buick coupe a few days ago which reflects the dignity of his calling. The doctor and his wife are staying at the home of Mrs. E. L. Clayton, 1122 East Washington street. "Steppin' High" The all star musical revue, "Steppin' High," which held forth three nights at the Columbia theatre last week was one of the snappiest performances that Phoenix has witnessed for many months. The colored citizens turned out en masse to see this play and all were enthusiastic in their praise of the performers. Miss Hazel Meyers, leading lady of the show, brought down the house with her original song numbers. Miss Mary Richard delighted all with her toe dancing and other numbers. The beauty chorus, Strawberry Russell and other characters all were good and it. was the consensus of opinion that the show was worth double the price of admission. The company went to the Nile theatre in Mesa where they put on a one night performance, before leaving for the east. 5 Cents a Copy; $2.50 a Year HOWARD INS WITH T RECEPTION charming in a pretty gown of Salome velvet, and Mrs. Howard, the hostess was faultless in a Paris creation of unique design. The color scheme of pink and white was carried out successfully in the refreshments. Mrs. Lynn Ross Carter received at the door. Mrs. C. Stone presided at the table and poured coffee. Others who assisted in receiving and serving were: Mrs. L. Wiggins and Mrs. E. S. P. Dawson. In the receiving line as out of town guests were. Mrs. Paris Tabron of Prescott, Mrs. R. A. Stanley of Tucson and Mrs. E. E. Rainwater of Yuma. Mr. King and Sgt. Cross of the 25th Infantry Band were among the out of town guests. Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Roberts and Mr. Morton furnished music for the occasion. Several vocal numbers were rendered by Mrs. Roberts, who presided at the piano throughout the evening. Over two hundred guests were invited and came to grace the affair with their presence. This reception was easily the banner's social event of the early winter and marks the beginning of a series of smart social functions to be given by the elite of Phoenix. litors Mail make the politicians appeal to you as just plain Americans and not as Negro Americans. It seems to me that the very fact that you make them appeal as Negroes creates and impression that you are not a part of the whole, but rather a part by yourselves, somewhat separated from the rest of our citizens. If you wish to convey the impression that you must be appealed to as Negroes why not create a Negro political party and as a party work for such conditions as you would like to create The writer was born in Norway and has not inherited any prejudice either for or against the Negro as a people, but is sincerely trying to study the so-called race problem as it is one of the greatest problems confronting our nation today and it must be solved right, by common sense and reason. As one of the first steps for all nationalities and races composing our nation is to forget they are Negro-Americans, German-Americans, Irish Americans, etc., but just plain American citizens. A title that any person should be proud of. Although born in a foreign country I would consider it an insult for anyone to appeal for my vote as a Norwegian-American. I believe the great overwhelming majority of white people want to give the Negro a fair, square deal. Politically and economically, there are of course individuals of all races who are guided by prejudice and passions instead of reason and it is the duty of every intelligent man and woman of every race to teach such people the error of their ways, for no problem was ever solved by passion, prejudice and ignorance.

Right here is where the merchants of Phoenix can be of valuable assistance; and this is one of the best reasons why we should do our Christmas shopping at home. If the local merchant does not have what you want, let him order it for you. He will be glad to do so. The great question now before the country is, "what shall I get for her, him, or it?" And don't overlook the "it," for that means the baby, of course! It takes little to satisfy the baby, but it takes a lot to satisfy the giver that the baby is satisfied. If you are losing sleep over the annual problem of Christmas giving, why not step into one of our home stores and confess your troubles. What the storekeeper or salesman will do for you will be a revelation! It is his business to make timely and pleasing suggestions to you. Even worry saved is money gained. Modern merchandising is more than "waiting on" customers and selling goods. It consists in selling the right goods to the right party. A sale that displeases the customer is a dead loss to the merchant. A sale is a cold, crude transaction unless there is service and value behind it. Besides, after Christmas there is always the question of exchange, refittings, etc., to which the home-town store will give careful attention. But there is more to the point than this. There is not a store, (we venture to assert), in Phoenix that will not gladly assist you in every reasonable way to solve your Christmas problems with the same care and prudence that you exercise in your own affairs. Rather strong statement, but we make it boldly, gladly and truthfully. This paper stands four-square for fair dealing in business relationships, and we would rather make a mistake in assuming the right than sin in assuming the wrong. You do not hesitate to put your will with your lawyer, your money with your bank, your life in the hands of your doctor., your innermost secrets in the confidence of your friends. Why hesitate to put your Christmas shopping troubles in the hands of our merchants- Let us try it this year.

Among all the ups and downs of life there is one struggle that is common to us all; that is the constant need for determining where expenditure should stop and saving should begin. We have heard a lot about false economy; also a lot about forming the saving habit in public and private affairs. There is a happy medium to be found, and wise is the man and lucky the governmental unit that finds it. Regarding expenditures in government, Lieutenant Governor George R. Lunn, of New York, hits the nail squarely on the head, and his quotation is worth the reading. He says: "We want economy, but that does not consist always in cutting down taxes, nor in lack of expenditure. Sometimes big expenditures are the essence of true economy. Sometimes we have what we call a 'political economy' meeting, where a man who is running for office shouts that taxes must come down, and he pulls them down in his speech. He gets into office, and in order to make good he does cut expenses by every rule of false economy. He vetoes all needed improvements. He cuts down until he has a budget that is less than his predecessor's and he thinks he has done a big thing. What happens? The next man to follow him says the same thing. He fails to repair the old or build the new. "The time will soon come when shame will burn the face of every citizen of the state because of the failure to do the thing that ought to have been done, and some brave soul will have to do it all in one year. That is what we call political economy. That lets human beings suffer in state institutions for the sake of speech." How often have we seen this happen? Yet it has one redeeming element. If it were not for this "political economy,"—in other words—if it were not for the fact that the people hold the restraining power and pull the check reins on government expenses, our officials might run us headlong into public debt, trusting in cautious successors to pull us out. Again let us send out in trumpeting blasts for the worthy companion, Happy Medium.

Despite the active canvassing of John W. Davis and Senator La Follette, the people did not lose their good common sense, and the more they weighed the situation, the more bent they became on letting good enough alone. The more they compared the men who aspired to become President, of these United States, the more they became convinced that Coolidge held a high place and was the equal of his opponents in honesty and ability. A man who had the courage to veto such measures as the soldiers' bonus bill and the increase in pay to the postal workers, right in the face of the time when he is asking the people to make him President again, is a veritable fact of his fitness to discharge the duties of the Chief Migistrate of the land. So far as Mr. Davis is concerned, he accepted the nomination of a party which had already formed themselves into bitter factions, whose feelings were so inflamed that it was almost beyond human possibility for the feelings engendered to become allayed in so short a time; and, too the very fight which rent the Democratic party assunder in their deliberations is destined to rip, tear, and burst the "Solid South" to smithereens. The Ku Klux Klan—the storm center around which all the winds are blowing and the lightnings are flashing—will intensify the opposition of the Jew, the Negro, and the Catholic, as the Klan association makes better known its reasons for its existence. And it looks now that, instead of the next national political fight being made on the basis of the economic questions facing the people, it will be whether a Protestant or a Catholic shall be elevated to this place, and whether a person's creed—and not one's loyalty to his country—shall govern his vote.

Masons Elect Officers At the regular meeting of Maricopa Lodge No. 1, F. & A. M., Tuesday night, December 2nd, the following officers were elected to serve during the ensuing year: Agustus Williams, W. M.; Chas. Fish, S. W.; Geo. S. Rodgers, J. W.; Herbert Hodge, Secretary; Allen Smith, Treasurer; Clifton Stone, S. D. Forrest Burney, J. D.; I. F. Silvers, Chaplain; Ed Moore, Tyler. Sunday night, November 30, special music was rendered at the First Colored Baptist church and the A. M. E. church by their choirs. This change from the regular order of services was highly pleasing to the people, and it is hoped that this form of worship will be made a monthly feature at these churches. The song numbers were good, showing that much time had been spent in rehearsing, and the choristers as well as the singers deserve credit for the success of these sacred concerts.

It Will Indicate Self-respect FACTS ABOUT THE TELEPHONE Illinois has more telephones than the whole of Great Britain. Among the forty-eight states that make up the United States of America, there are five each of which has more telephones than the entire continent of Asia. Telephone companies in the United States employ 190,000 telephone operators. In addition, thousands of telephone operators are employed by large business houses, banks and hotels. There is now one telephone for every seven people in the United States. Ten years ago there was one telephone for every 10 people and in ;1900 there was only one telephone for every 57 people in this country. The first telephone exchange in Detroit, Mich., was established August 15, 1878. In the 46 years since then the Detroit system has grown to more than 190,000 telephones. In fact, there are more telephones in Detroit than in all of Belgium, Greece, Roumania, Portugal and Bulgaria combined. The number of telephone conversations that take place annually in the United States averages over 174 for every man, woman and child in the country. Germany has fewer than 36 telephone talks annually per inhabitant, and France and Great Britain each have less than 18. IN CLOAK INDUSTRY NEW YORK—Six weeks' contributions to the unemployment insurance trust fund, maintained jointly by employers and employees in the local cloak industry, totaled $250,000. President Sigman of the International Ladies' Garment Workers' union estimates that the fund will soon reach $1,600,000. The fund is to be used for out-of-work benefits. The employer pays into the fund 2 per cent of his business and the worker pays 1 per cent of his wage. The fund is controlled by representatives of the union and the various organizations of employers. This system was recommended by a commission appointed last summer by Governor Smith, when a tie up in the industry was threatened. The workers have demanded relief from unemployment, because of the highly seasonal character of this calling. As they are well organized their complaint was considered by employers, many of whom have been blocked by competitors in their efforts to improve conditions. The joint action by these unionists and employers indicate the possibilities of collective bargaining and the future of organized industry.

DECEMBER 6. 1924 Machines Invented by Electrician Detect Spurious Gems and Are Valuable in Plumbing and Building. SCHENECTADY, N. Y.—New X-ray machines by means of which one may look through walls and floors as easily as a physician or dentist now examines subcutaneous parts of his patient's body, have been perfected. The inventors are Dr. W. D. Coolidge and his associates in the research laboratory of the General Electric Co. The new apparatus, an oil-immersed portable outfit in a box 7x8x10 inches and weighing but 30 pounds, is expected to prove of great value, especially to plumbers, building contractors, electricians and jewelers. To use the new device it will only be necessary to connect an ordinary extension cord to the nearest lamp socket or base plug of the househole lighting system, and then X-rays may be produced by simply pressing a button. Hereafter, the inventor says, the man who wishes to hang a picture on the wall and doesn't know where to find a solid place to drive a nail will not have to ruin the wall before finding the right spot. The new machine may also prove a blow to smugglers, should customs officials use the device in searching for secret chambers in trunks and bags. Jewelers, it is said, will be able to detect spurious gems at a glance by using the rays. SENTENCED TO DIE FOR FRANKFORT, Ky.—Alex Gibson, a colored man of this state, has been sentenced to die for a simple act of burglary. It was the first time that this extreme penalty has ever been legally imposed by a court in this state. The death sentence was upheld by the Court of appeals and unless the Governor of the state has moral courage enough to give the man justice he must pay with his life. Gibson entered the home of R. W. Thompson, about five miles from Lexington, Lucian Thompson, his son, returning home, encountered Gibson with a 20-gauge Winchester repeating shotgun belonging to Thompson. Thompson tried to seize Gibson. Gibson, it is said tried to pull the trigger. The gun was not loaded and only snapped. An act of the 1922 Legislature providing a penalty for burglary of life imprisonment or death in discretion of the jury, was upheld by the court in an opinion of Commissioner Drury, whole court sitting. There is no minimum penalty in the act. The old law set the penalty at from two to ten years. Gibson's conviction was the first of its kind involving the extreme penalty since the law went into effect. BERGDOLL, DRAFT DODGER, HAS DISAPPEARED AGAIN PHILADELPHIA — Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, draft evader and fugitive from justice, who has been living in Germany since May 21, 1920, is said to be on his way to the United States.] Bergdoll was sentenced to prison for evading the draft in this country, but escaped and made his way to Germany. Reports from Eberbach, Germany, where Bergdoll has been living, are to the effect that he had left that city several weeks ago but his whereabouts has not been learned. inquiry at the Bergdoll home in Philadelphia elicited the information that the family did not know where the fugitive was at the present time. NORTH CAROLINA LEGION INVITES NEGRO VERERANS RALEIGH, N. C.-For the first time since its formation, the local post of the American legion has invited Negro ex-soldiers, of the world war to participate in the Armistice Day celebration. All the co-operation however, will be on the Jim Crow basis, the Negro veterans assigned a special place in the parade, a special section of the auditorium and a special feed at one of the local ball parks. The decision to invite the colored fighters was made by unanimous vote of their white brothers. WINS $100 ON BET SAVANNAH, GA., NEVER HAD LYNCHING SAVANNAH, Ga.—Edward W ington, now in Buenos Aires, South America, with his Lucky Eleven Jazzy band, bet a newspaper report- er there, $200 to $100 that there never had been a lynching in Savannah or Chatham county. To settle the bet they wrote all the way to Sheriff Dikon here, on the strength of whose reply Washington cashed in an easy hundred dollars. EAGLE KILLED IN AIR BATTLE WITH ANOTHER OVER BIG EEL CAPE MAY, N. J.—Capt. Hurley Boyd of the fishing steamer Maud J. which arrived here, reports that when 10 miles east of Five Fathom Bank lightship, he saw the most exciting air battle of his 20 years' experience as a skipper. Two eagles, he said, fought for a big eel, and one of the eagles was killed and the other so badly wounded that it could hardly fly beyond the reach of the steamer, which was stopped long enough to pick up the eel, which, Capt. Boyd said, weighed over eight pounds. The dead bald eagle, he said, measured at least 10 feet from tip to tip of wings. BERLIN LONG ON BERLIN, Germany.—Unsettled conditions growing out of the world war have caused the growth of a form of marriage brokerage in this city. At the present time there are more than 1,000 brokers in the city, divided into three classes, catering to high society, the middle class folk and the poor. They do a thriving business. Among the upper crust are many women who have money but are not much on looks. They are anxious for husbands, too. DOGS GO TO HEAVEN. SAYS CONAN DOYLE, LODGE LONDON—"Do dogs live in the beyond?" This inquiry by the "dog world" was addressed to some of the most distinguished Britons, who replied as follows: G. Bernard Shaw—I've never had a dog stupid enough to want to live forever, and I've never hated a dog enough to wish him such a horrible fate." Sir Arthur Conan Doyle—"I have heard the seance room filled with the barking of dogs and they have occasionally appeared in psychic photographs. All of our pets of every sort, especially dogs, are with us in the next life. The bond of affection is one that survives death." Sir Oliver Lodge also gave a strongly affirmative reply. CHILD BITTEN BY RAT DIES OF STRANGE FEVER EVANSVILLE. Ind. — Dorothy Downey, 14-monthsold victim of rat bite fever, is dead here. The disease, which is of such nature that the victim wastes away and dies of exhaustion, had made such inroads before discovery that it was impossible to save the child. The malady, oriental in origin, is rare in this country, medical science having only a record of 62 such cases. It is believed by local physicians that the rat which bit the child must have come up the Ohio river by boat. BOYS LOST IN WASTES OF GLACIER NATIONAL PARK GREAT FALLS, Mont.—Somewhere in the bleak and dreary wintry wastes of Glacier National park, the final resting place of two Chicago boys will remain a secret for at least another eight months until the vast stillness again yields to nature and warms up to become "America's playground" for another season. When the park again opens to tourist travel it may be possible that someone will discover the bodies of William and Joseph Whitehead, brothers, who have been missing since August 24, but until then only the rarest of fortune may lead someone to the place which organized searching parties stopped hunting last week. CHILDREN SUCKING LEMONS KEEP BAND FROM PLAYING NEW YORK—The sight of children sucking lemons and pickles put sour thoughts in their minds, caused their lips to pucker, and rendered them entirely unable to play sweet music, according to a complaint made by a German band leader to a policeman recently. The policeman knew of no manner in which to refrain the "kiddies" from eating such "fruit," so the indignant musicians declared they would go elsewhere to play their ditties. PRETTY GIRLS SOUGHT AS MODELS FOR COFFINS CHICAGO—Pretty models were wanted by undertakers in Chicago to occupy some of their latest coffins in an exposition which opened October 9. To qualify as a shroud wearer, girls had to be beautiful both when animated and when lying in repose. Some had to pretend they were dead and lie in the new coffins. The best prophet I know of is the fellow who gets the fixed idea in his dome that he is going to be a failure. The famous old baseball phrase "Tinkers to Evers to Chance" has been replaced by "Shelby to Herrin to Niles." NEGRO JAZZ ORCHESTRA IS HIRED BY PRINCE LONG ISLAND, N.

Very little publicity was given to this fact, of course, but all of the white bands that stood in front of his door enjoyed much newspaper space about this honor. But as usual our merits 'will out.' This young and most cosmopolitan Prince has commanded our great music idol and his celebrated Broadway orchestra to his Canadian Palace to play for him before his return to England. TENNESSEE NEGROES TO CARRY OWN BUILDING NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Mrs. M. L. Crosswaith of Fisk University and Dr. J. A. Lester, Meharry Medical College, have been chosen directors of a statewide campaign among colored people to raise funds to carry on the program of the inter-racial league of the state which has for its program education, health, housing justice at court, recreation and charity among Negroes. An appeal will be made for a contribution of $1.00 from every colored person in the state. This is the first year that the league has sought to aid Negroes support heretofore being contributed altogether from charitably-minded whites. COLUMBUS, Ohio.—Pearl Sanuders, ager 24, was slightly burned about his face when the cork of a bottle of acid which he was carrying in a basket on the handlebars of his bicycle, became dislodged and some of the fluid flew out. The accident happened at Eighteenth and Long streets when he road over a bump in the street. The injured man was treated at St. Clair Hospital. KILLS HIS WIFE SHOOTING HIGH POINT, N. C.-Praetically all of the police court's time here October 10, was consumed in the preliminary hearing given Moses Robinson and Ander Austin, colored men, charged with murder of Robinson's wife, Susan Robinson, who was shot to death in her home here October 9. After evidence had been heard in the case the state took a noil pros as to Austin, but probable cause was found in Robinson's case and he was ordered held for Guilford superior court under $1,500 bond. MAN GREASES HIS BODY AND SLIPS OUT OF JAIL OIL CITY, Pa.—Laverne Eiseman, a slippery prisoner who slid out of the Carlton county jail to freedom by greasing his body with vaseline and dropping through a small air passage, is back in his cell. As officers led him back into the jail, the cook was cautioned to "hide the lard; here's Eiseman." PASTOR GETS THIRTY DAYS FOR "OUTRAGING DECENCY" BUFFALO—Charged with outraging public decency, the Rev. Charles C. Penfold has been sentenced to spend 30 days in jail and pay a fine of $50.

Stewart and Elmer Stewart, father and son, were sentenced to die in the electric chair November 28, by Judge Grady in the Circuit court, for the murder of two officers of the law in July. The Stewarts are white men and leading citizens of the town. "I submitted to the operation, although I had a doubt that there was anything wrong with me." "And what did the surgeon do?" "Oh, he went ahead and removed the doubt." It has been discovered that wives are also useful in opening garage doors. JAP IMMIGRANTS ARE OPPOSED BY MEXICO CENTRO, Calif.-The Mexican government is opposed to Japanese or other far eastern colonization, according to Governor Rodriguez of the northern district of Lower California. The Mexican official made this statement at Mexicali, across the international boundary near here. The executive received a telegram to this effect from federal officials at Mexico City in which they uphold his opposition to reported plans of a syndicate to colonize the territory south of Mexicali with 20,000 Japanese. Japs Lose Fishing Right Mexicanali, Lower California,—Extensive fishing concessions held by Japanese in Lower California have been cancelled by the Mexican authorities. It is stated that the Japanese violated the terms of their concessions, which will be turned over to Mexican interests and the fish shipments diverted from Japan to other parts of Mexico and to the United States. This article is followed by the recent refusal of the authorities to permit a syndicate to colonize Lower California with 20,000 Japanese immigrants. CRAPSHOOTERS NOT CONFINED TO BLACK FOLK CHICAGO, Ill.—White crapshooters in this city were robbed of $50,000 Sunday night by young bandits who invaded the gambler's quarters and made them turn loose. Several of the men in the group robbed were southern delegates to the National Association of Poultry, Butter and Eggs convention. TAX EQUALITY FOR ALL BONDS Roger W. Babson, international statistician, says: "Unless the state, county, city and town tax-exempt bond issue is curtailed, taxes necessary to pay interest and retire them will bankrupt the farmers of this country. The present increase in taxes which results from the demand for these non-taxable bonds is raising havoc with land values, the cost of farm products and rural conditions in general." Every dollar added to annual farm taxes reduces the farm value more than $30 an acre; for the average net income on farm lands for 50 years is only about three per cent, and a dollar is three per cent on a $30 investment. Just now, farm produce prices are higher, owing to the settlement of German reparations, and the opening of a better foreign market. Farmers are paying off bills, repairing farms, and some laying up a small surplus. But more tax-free state and municipal bonds were issued during the first six months of 1924 than ever before during a like period. The tax-free bond issue is catching up with the farm prosperity. When it does, good prices will not help the farmer or any other industrial investor; he merely pays more taxes to pay interest on more tax-free bonds, and they will run for 20 to 30 years. The Dickinson bill is before congress again this winter, with a graduated tax on non-taxable securities, to equalize their values and burdens with other property and industrial investments that have been paying all hte tax. The farm mortgage bankers' association of America recently declared for a constitutional amendment revoking the exemption privileges of tax-free securities. The amendment had almost enough votes to pass it last spring; and some of its enemies failed in the primaries, so it may have a good majority this winter. Tax equality is the one sure road to business development on a sound basis. Where conditions justify, the California Highway Commission considers it the best of economy to utilize a well compacted but worn out gravel or crushed rock road as the base for an asphaltic concrete wearing surface instead of tearing up this excellent foundation. Practical road builders have been advocating this policy as the best way to give the taxpayers the most for their money and at the same time secure the greatest mileage of hard surfaced highways. Marion county, Oregon, has secured excellent results under a similar program. The world do move—In 1900: "Them tarnation automobiles ought not to be allowed on the public highways." In 1924: "Those awful horses and buggies should not be permitted to obstruct traffic." We are satisfied that selfishness is the basis for most of the ills in the world today. Let's see a little less of me and mine, and a little more of them and theirs. What one has been, is not a guarantee. It is what you are today that is the standard by which you are judged. If the Ku Klux Klan is of Democratic and southern birth, it can now boast of being nurtured by Republican and northern sentiment. Eternal fitness is the price of promotion. GIFT OF THE DESERT visible through the mantle of vines concealing the entrance. The dark figure on the floor assumed vague outline. The two men in the lantern glow came to a halt, thrusting the light forward, peering at the object which had attracted them. The Mexican identified it first in a sudden cry. "It's a body, a dead man," he exclaimed. "He has been killed—Manuel!" Menger held back, the coward gripping him, but Sanchez bore the lantern forward, desperate to learn the truth. His startled voice came down the passage. "Tis not Gomez," he cried, "and no face I ever saw before. Perhaps you know the man?" "No; but there has been a fight, or a murder—see, he has been shot; and in the back, by G—d! Gomez must have done this job. "But what has become of the old devil? And who was this kid? What was he doing here? See if there is anything in his pocket, Juan. Give me the lantern." He held it up, as the Mexican dropped to his knees, and began to rummage through the dead man's clothes. The increasing daylight of the desert found entrance far above, and stole down the narrow passage in a faint, ghastly glimmer, which only added to the ghastliness of the scene. The strain was too much for Meager's nerves, and he swore gruffly. "Come on," he said fiercely; "bring the light. We'll search every inch of this d—d hole." Kelleen turned, his first impulse being to escape, to rush toward that dim glimmer of light now plainly marking the cave entrance. Yet the futility of such an effort came to him instantly. There was a better way than that, and he whirled back to face them, as the two came cautiously forward, the glow of the lantern glimmering like a red star. The hand with the weapon in it fell to a level, and he fired, the glass flickering into a thousand pieces, the light instantly extinguished. Kelleen's plan of action had formed swiftly in his mind. He had a glimmering of what this conspiracy meant, but must learn more. Only one method was possible—a confession from Bob Meager. The real secret of this tunnel was in his possession, now that Manuel Gomez was dead. He must be made to talk. The advantages in this encounter were altogether on his side. He knew them, where they were; they possessed no knowledge of his exact position, who he was, or whether they faced one opponent or a dozen. They had been taken completely by surprise, startled by the sudden attack, confused in the darkness. He had both of them absolutely at his mercy. The silence—was intense after that first startled second. There was no movement, not even the sound of breathing audible. The two stood motionless, crouched back against the wall, peering into the blackness from whence that tongue of flame had leaped into their very faces, yet revealing nothing. They could neither think nor act. Who had fired—Manuel Gomez? some enemy who had trapped them? Were they facing one man, or a dozen? Into what had they blindly walked? Confident of his own safety, realizing that he had the whip hand, Kelleen smelled grimly, every nerve tense, his revolver poised. The situation pleased him. "Drop your guns, both of you!" he commanded sternly. "Quick now! I've got you against the light." "Who the h—l—" "Stop that! Drop them, or I shoot something besides a lantern. It's a hair trigger I'm playing with." He heard both weapons fall to the floor, Meager cursing impotently, but the Mexican silent. Kelleen laughed. "Kick them away from you—that's right! Not bad fellows when properly A "Now, Up With Your Hands!" handled, I see. Now up with your hands, and back against the wall there." He could not see the fellows, not so much as an outline of them, yet knew they obeyed the order. It was a bluff which worked because they half believed themselves silhouetted against that distant gray bar of light far down the passage, targets not to be easily missed. That cool, stern voice, unfamiliar in the echoing tunnel, meant business, rasped like a steel file on Meager's nerves. "By G—d! Who are you?" he snarled savagely. "What the h—do you want?" "The first is of no importance, Mea- ger," returned Kelleen with emphasis. "But I'll answer the latter question. Unbuckle your belt. Go on; I know what you're doing. Yes; take it off. I've got you boys covered; make one false move, and you'll sure taste lead. Now throw that belt about the Mexican—sure I know who you both are; I came here gunning for you two guys—around his arms—now, d—n you, draw it tight! Yes—that's exactly what I mean—strap them to his body—" Just what happened is not clear. Kelleen could not see; he dare not take a step closer to make sure. The chances are that Sanchez had two guns at his waist. He had discarded one, but the other yet remained. Not certain that he was not outlined against the background of light, he dare not attempt to draw; but now, his hands lowered, as Menger drew the belt about his arms, desperate, blitter with hate, his fingers must have gripped the butt. With one convulsive effort he fired in the direction of the voice. The bullet struck the side wall, sent a splinter of rock tearing into Kelleen's cheek, yet, even as he staggered back half blinded in the flame, he had glimpse of the maddened Mexican, running blindly down the passage. An instant the fellow stood out clear, his head thrust forward, his arms still held by the belt clasp; then Kelleen pulled trigger, and the runner sprawled out, flat and motionless, into the very center of that little pool of daylight. It was the swift work of an instant, then darkness, and Meager's huge bulk crushed Kelleen against the wall in one mad effort to kill. For a moment the smaller man, taken completely by surprise, struggled helplessly to escape the stranglehold of those clutching fingers. The revolver dropped from his hand, and he was forced resistlessly backward, strangled, unable to tear loose that visilake grip. As the two fell, however, Meager's head struck the rock, the sharp blow so dazing him as to permit Kelleen an instant of relief, a long, fresh breath, the release of one arm. Underneath him, pressing against his hip, lay the gun he had been forced to drop. With desperate effort he gained possession of the weapon, thrusting the muzzle savagely into Meager's side. "D—n you!" he choked. "Feel that! Get up, or I'll blow a hole clear through you. You dirty brute, to kill you be a pleasure. Get clear up! Do you know me now?" The fellow, thoroughly cowed, shrinking back with the point of the revolver still pressing hard against his rib. stuttered, but made no reply. The widening radius of daylight gave Kelleen the outlines of his bulky figure, but features were invisible. "What! not yet? I'm the 'Frisco Kid!' First you thought you'd double-cross me; then you decided murder would do the job best. Well, Meager, neither plan worked. I'm on to your game, and I'm very much alive. Now I've got you. Like to make a guess why I don't kill you?" "You—you want me to squeal first." Menger hesitated, and Kelleen's gun pushed harder. "You better split it out, Bob; I'd sure love to shoot." "Well, d—n you, what's the difference? Garrity told me the fellow was hiding in here somewhere. Manuel used to come to him when he needed stuff, but he never was able to track him—he was too d—n smart for the judge. That was what I came up here for, and mostly the reason why I grabbed the ranch—see. Garrity fixed things, because he knew Manuel had a h—l of a lot o' spoils stored away. We wanted a free hand. When I come up I fired every American, and took on Mexicans I knew. We run just cattle enough so as to get an excuse for exploring the desert. We knew the d—n slippery cuss was hid around here, but couldn't get onto his hole." "Well, go on." "Seems he wasn't doing anything any more, just hiding out; none of his gang with him. It had got so hot for the old devil he was afraid to show his nose above ground; fifty thousand for him, dead or alive, you know—that last raid had got the U. S. after him as well as Mexico, and he was smart enough to lie out here until it blew over. Maybe we never would have got on to him if Sanchez hadn't struck his trail one day by accident over beyond Silver springs. That led him into this valley, and then he got lost again. After that we kept a watch. It didn't do no good for some time, the old fox was too sly. So finally Garrity put up a meeting with him—they had some secret signal arranged between 'em—and in that way we traced out this cave and got him cornered." "Cave! It's a tunnel, aln't it?" "I don't know what it is. I've only been here once before—in the dark. What's your idea?" "That Manuel found 'Alvara's Lost Mine'—it's got all the earmars." "The—the 'Lost Mine!' Then—it's worth millions! You—you can't mean it." "It's only a guess; let's chuck that now, and finish up with Gomez." "Yes, but wait!" exclaimed Meager eagerly, suddenly seeing a chance for himself. "There ain't no use of you making any gunplay with me, 'Kid.' What's the matter with us being pardners? There's-only three of us know about this—you, Garrity an' me. H—! there must be money enough here to make us all rlch; Gomez has got a devil of a lot hid away somewhere, and, good G—d! if this is the 'Lost Mine'—" Kelleen hesitated, not from any doubt as to his own purpose, but in an endeavor to choose the best method. Meger's plan opened new possibilities; the man must know more than he had revealed, while Garrity was What becomes of all the nerves the dentists kill?

It Paid Him to Advertise One of the most persistent advertisers in the history of success was Robinson Crusoe. He knew what he wanted—and he put up an advertisement for one. He flung a shirt on a pole, at the top of his island, that, in the language of the sea, was plain to every sea-faring man. The circulation was small—there was no other medium but Crusoe kept at it, despite the fact that he got no inquiries for a long time. He changed his copy—as one garment after another was frayed out—and in the end got what he wanted. Suppose Crusoe had taken down that signal after a time and declared "Advertising doesn't pay" where would he and his story be now? Put up your signal and keep it there. Crusoe advertised under very discouraging circumstances. You've got a sure thing—it is only necessary to have the patience, persistence, and pluck of Robinson Crusoe—and the good ship "Better Business" will soon tie up longside your pler. e Moore s Voters my sincere thanks to my friends for the victory they so earnestly e only reward I have to offer is a business-like administration.
