THE TOPEKA PLAINDEALER State Historical Society Newspaper Section TWENTY-FIFTH YEAR, NUMBER TWENTY The Only Colored Campfire Girls in the State of Kansas. Atchison, Kansas, May 12. The Lincoln School Campfire Girls, one of the most commendable things in the Social Service, has been the perfecting of the above named organization by Mrs. D. L. Stewart wife of Dr. Stewart. Mrs. Stewart organized the Camp Fire in July 1922. There is a group of thirty eight large girls and a group of 24 smaller girls known a Bluebird. The object of this organization is to develop the highest type of woman- Galley Two .... an anthool. Any girl of high social standing is eligible to membership. The girls learn how to conduct themselves as an organized group. They elect their own officers and make their own by-laws. They are encouraged to care for the sick and the poor and needy. They take Physical Culture and are taught to love out-door sports. The girls meet every Monday and stay one hour. This organization took the name of the school in order to have the assistance of the school. Usually an Indian name is chosen for these organizations. Mrs. D. L. Stewart is guardian of this organization. It is indeed fortunate for the girls to be in charge of a woman of rare attainments and culture. She is rendering a noble service which will bear fruit in the days and years to come. Miss Cico Taylor, teacher in the public schools is assistant guardian and well fitted for the part she takes in helping these young girls. The guardians try to train the young girls how to conduct themselves with young men and what young men to choose for company. Anounces Conceptional Conference in Birmingham Norfolk, Va., May 2.

I visited the Smoky Hill River District Board Meeting, Rev. G. T. Rainey is Moderator and he is bringing things to pass. I visited the Rev. S. A. Williams, the matchless pastor of the St. John John Baptist church of Salina, Kansas. He is the most congenial and progressive pastor I have ever met. Rev. Milt S. Jones was invited to pieach on Sunday. I was there on business. His people clamored that I should stay there and preach and so this great man of God simply had me to stay over and preach. He cared for both of us. He drove us around in his fine Sedan and his people furnished some of the best meals it has been our pleasure to enjoy. His life is an inspiration, and the chureli is well organized. They plan to raise $5,000.00 in their rally in an effort to build a house for God. He says under God they will raise it. About $134.00 was raised Sunday and with no special effort. The sermons delivered during the day were inspiring. May God bless Rev. Williams and his people. PROMINENT SOUTHERN MIN.

We are proud of such far-sighted, fearless and race-pride men as these, who understand, of course, it is not their duties to reach down in their pockets and advance the finance for an institution which serves the protection of the general public, but out of large hearts and the recognized need which these men can see as experienced physicans, they are willing to show to the public their interest and desire to give to their patronage just as good services as any other class, of dancing and aggressive colleagues. The best of all is, they are men of broad experience in their work and national in reputation. Dr. J, T. Whittaker, who has practiced for the past twenty-five years, had a very wide and varied experience both in medicine and surgery, having spent a number of years in the U. S Army service tending to broaden his experience which has rounded him into one of the most successful surgeons of the age. Dr. R. S. Whittaker, his brother, who has recently joined him, formally of Coffyville, Kans., where he has practiced for 14 years, is also an alert and successful member of the profession. For some years he operated in what is known as the People's Hospital in Coffyville, and during this time did some technical major surgery with eminent success. Dr. Charles S. Diggs has had some one of the foremost orators of the race in the American pulpit, will preach Sunday, Morning, May 27th, at Calvary Baptist church. The public is especially invited to attend. MOSAIC MAN VISITS TOPEKA FOR LODGE Mr. G. D. Bryson, State Grand Master of the Mosaic Templars of America, for the state of Kannas, was in Topeka a few days last week in the interest of his order. The Mosaic Templars is an all-Negro secret order which combines approved business methods wiht its fraternalism. This has been done to the extent that the organization now has assets of over a million dollars. Mr. Bryson was formerly one of the influential citizens of Little Rock, Arkansas, the fountain head of the order and a personal friend of the two founders of the order—the late J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts. He is well qualified to represent the order in the state and is able to tell of it with the knowledge born of life-long association with it as well as the founders. It is an assured fact that a temple will soon be set up here as there are many persons in town who have their membership in the order. back in their home towns. DEGREES AT' BOLEY, OKLA.

Of these men Southern California should be proud, and should get behind them and see to it that this effort shall not fail, neither financially nor otherwise, remembering if they succeed, we succeed; if they fail we as a whole, fail. Another interesting phase of the event is the opening up of a nurse training school and course, operated in connection with the hospital. A wonderful opportunity is hereby presented to the young ambitious girls of our Race to take up this form of work. The free Clinic to be opened up as soon as the organization I perfected will prove an immeasurable help to the Negroes of Southern California. The building now under construction is new and modern in every detail, with a capacity of twenty-five beds, some in private rooms and others in wards. A large diette department is provided and will be under the direction of an expert. The operating room is the last word in new and modern equipment. I fact the plane show that no factor has been overlooked that would contribute towards this being equal to any Hospital its size on the Coast. Friendship Baptist Church has raised One Hundred and Thirty Dollars to thoroughly equip one room at this institution. We have done this to show our appreciation to these men who have taken the initiative. Dra. J. T. and R. S. Whittaker will be glad to furnish any information desired by Pasadena and Dr. Diggs will accommodate Los Angles inquirers with facts not clear to them. This institution has been appropriately named "The Dunbar Hospital." W. Smith, Eufaula; J. Paul Pierce, Nowata; J. S. Cason, Hartshorne; S. A. Newklirk, Tulsa; S. F. Jordan, Guthrie; Dr. E. W.

MOTHER By E. E. Kelley, in Topica Capital. Just a child was I and me Perfect mother was to me, When in tears I sought relief Over childish hurt or grief— Bumped my head or stubbed my toe, Thumped by bigger boss you know; In her lap I land my head, She said things that comforted. Sources yet there are of woe Often yet I stub my toe, Often yet I get the bumps, Feel the sting of foemina as thumps; But no tears now! Just fight back; Giving, taking, whack for whack, Sixty mile-stones passed, and gray, But my mood is, just today, In pet up to lay my head, Hear the words that comforted. Twilight and then the dark. A man, alone for the evening, sat in the thinking of the day's work. All at darkness on the porch, resting and had gone and the sounds of the night once he noticed that the day sounds had come. From across the block came the care-free voices of happy children some, of the same also. The songs of a particular choir floated on the air in broken fragments. Automobiles went gauding by their lights gleaming like the fiery eyes of a story book dragon. The stars winked through the treetops. OT to the south, low down on the horizon, was a bank of clouds. No muttering of thunder was heard, the now and then a fair flush illuminated the outline of the cloud bank or a red bolt zigzagge the crest—a cloudbank that doubtless husbandmen were watching with the eagerness of the servant of Elijah as he watched from the height of Mount Carmel.

Passing a low, graceful, the ange paused long and behold the rug, care and beautiful flowers. Selecting so after much effort, the angel felt that the earthly mission was ended and so passed 'on, when behold a young babe in a cradle was encased at that the sweet baby smile seemed even more beautiful than the fragrant flower.

What a truly brood forth by metaphor. Mother's Day is essentially a day of tribute, a tribute to the joys and sufferings to and from the birth of that mother, dreams and anguish, the devotion of mysteries—a mother's love.

Avenue, Topeka, Kansas ```markdown ``` PLAY OR DIE All of the zealots who believe that the Christian religion excludes one from the natural ones of life are commended to the following editorial by the Rev. W. J. Wall, eminent minister of the A. M. L. Zion church and editor of the Star of Zion, official organ of that church: To complete the groom thing, the prejudiced white man shuts the black people out of all the parks, swimming pools, beaches, boats, picnic grounds, libraries and other community aesthetic and cultural institutions. Everywhere south this is done save in a very few cities that are large enough to furnish something for the Negroes after they have supplied their own people to the utmost of, and usually the season is over. The Negro's lack of appreciation of privilege but the most of it can be accounted for in pure prejudice. The church must remember that if if our own Christian society does not invert ways and means for the people's recreation and entertainment under its protection, it is vain to presen against what the people do. You cannot claim up human nature. God never intended it to be done. If we are too indulgent to take this matter in hard then, the world will continue to bid for the young and those who like to play. They will either remain out of the church to follow life on they will join to be crushed or covered by paignt demon cintions. They will stop out to things, losing their youthful vigor because they are not sure whether they are backsliders or Christians, while they still do not feel in their most hearts that they are not lost. Another committed group, who have grown prematurely old or who have not the temperament for much play, mount themselves against their play loving follows, while they invite and even connive at vices in the Christian families and many times make the ten commandments a by word by their open disregard of the essentials. It would be well for such persons to know that last December the executive committee of the Federal Council of churches representing thirty Protestant denominations, in Lalianapolis, passed the following resolution: "In view of the county-wide unrest, of the increasingly apparent anwhole-some effects of our machine age upon the life and spirit of industrial workers, of the strain of urban civilization of the perils of youth arising out of the pressure of commercialized arrangements, it is reconeamed that increasing attention he given by all of our church and local federation to the subject of recreation and applications of its deeper principles of education, character building and community enrichment. If we would preac less fear to the people and more love, less gloom and more light, less "donts and more do's" we would create less indifference and more obedience. Love is the fulfill ing of the law and not fear, active, it is employment and not prohibitive. Tao shalt not is the key SHOULD OUR GIRLS BOB THEIR HAIR? There has been much said both oral and written about our girls bobbing their hair. Many have ask why should they not bob their hair if they want to? They have even stated that it is their own personal liberty; so it is, but even in our own personal liberties we must often think twice before hair after passing the age of fourteen years. You may ask why. For several reasons, as folows; let we have slowly growing hair; noobed hair is only a fail and noon will go out of style; it is out already in the larger cities. Now what are you going to do if you want to be in style? You can't grow it back in a night as you took it off. 2nd; It is not very becoming to most of us. What objects some are with a bushy head looking like the picture that we see of Africans, who are not to blame for their bobbed for they do not live in a civilised country (as we are supposed to be) thus do not know how to care for their hair. I have stated two reasons why; my third reason why girls should not bob their hair is: "Hair is a woman's glory." This you will find in a chapter of the Bible. So if you take off your hair, you have thrown your glory away. Keep your glory, girls; because only a few in the race are born. work of the Old Testament; Thou shalt is the keyword of the New Testament. Christian leaders must be the people's companions in their work and play alike. The pastor must not be adapted to leading their play Christianity is positive and not neg but he must supervise it, and therefore not spurn it. The difference between the the ancient slave at work and the present day freeman at work must be the distinction between the church member of the old an dof the present. A galley slave chained to his oar, rowed on in fear of the master who, if the slave ever weakened, would with one stroke of the sword cut off his arm and throw him overboard. "Yet," as McCoy has said, "no galley slave ever rowed as hard for his master as the young boy will now for his college." The slave held by chains, strains muscle, because he is afraid of his master and nerve to the breaking point The college boatman in a contest for his school, is chained to his school is chained to his oar by ath- The slave does not quit for fear of death; the freeman would rather die than quit. Brethren, let us reverse the order, and cease the effort to have men support the church and carry their membership by the fear to be natural in this world. Let us teach them that all things are the Christians, bition and strains more terrifically still. "He may drop after he passes the finishing line, but not until then." "whether the ministry or the world, or life or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours; and we are Christ's and Christ is God's." We must either play, and play wisely, or grow old and die. "They lose the world who buy it with much care." We see by the papers that our old colleague, Bennie Buttler is now the Sporting and Dramatic Editor of the New York Star. Bennie has had a varied career both in journalism and theatricals, and should give a good account of himself.

I know of an incident in a Philadelphia hospital where the nurses were told they would be discharged if they bobbed their hair and could not return until it grew out again as it was very unsanitary. If it is unsanitary in the hospital, it must be in the kitchen and around the foods. These same nurses were told by the president that it was very unlady-like to bob their hair, and then added: "I am sure you are all ladies." Of course after that not a nurse had bobbed hair. But what a shame for the girl who had lost her "locks" for she could not get them back in one night or a day. Last but not least my reason why girls should not bob their hair is because bobbed hair as a fad is one of the ear marks of the flapper, and unless one wishes to be known as a flaper she should avoid this earmark.
