The Savannah Tribune VOLUME XXVIII School Children's Races Friday School Children's Races Friday PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SCHOOLS WILL CLOSE AT 12 O'CLOCK Greatest Day in History of Negro Youths of City—Middleton's Brass Band to Furnish Music—Enormous Crowd Expected—Each School to Have Reserved Space in Grand Stand The Negro School Children's races which are to be held at the baseball park on next Friday afternoon, May 2nd, promises to eclipse anything which has ever been given in the city of Savannah. The Negro Business and Professional Men's Association which is fostering these races has spared neither pains nor money to make this day the most notable in the annals of the local athletic history. The members of the association have lost no opportunity to advertise the event and throughout the entire city, the one question which seems to be uppermost in every mind is which school is going to carry off the honors of the day Expert opinion on the subject is about evenly divided between the four large schools entered and it is most likely that the events will be so closely contested that the championship will be in doubt until the last event on the program is run. The city championship will be decided by the number of points secured by the schools entered in the closed events, those designated "open" not entering in the championship. Winners of first place will receive three points, second place, two points and third place one point. Since this is the second time that the youthful Negro athletes of the city have been engaged in contests of the character as are to be run on next Friday their feats will be watched with much interest and it is the consensus of opinion that the standard set by the boys last year will be surpassed. Prizes for the occasion will be purchased next week and will be on exhibition Wednesday. The date of presentation of prizes to the winners has not been settled upon, but it has been suggested that this will be done at a public meeting at the Pekin Theatre Friday afternoon following the races. That a tremendous crowd will be on hand at the races there is not the slighest doubt, for on every side preparations are being made by parents to be present to cheer their children on to victory. As to the younger folks, they are all simply awaiting the coming of the day so that they can turn out and have the greatest time of their lives. In fact indications point to the largest crowd of Negroes that ever assembled at the baseball park. Middleton's full brass band has been engaged for the afternoon and will render their usual delightful selections of popular airs, which, together with the lusty cheering of thousands of spectators as the winners flash across the finish, will make the afternoon the most inspiring ever witnessed here. The ticket selling contest is being fiercely waged and indications are that the number of tickets disposed of will greatly surpass any other similar contest in the annals of the city. Arrangements have been completed whereby the larger schools will all have reserved space set aside for them in the grand stand. They will seat from the east side of the stand, the Maple street school occupying the first tier of seats, the East Broad next, then West Broad, the Haven Home and then the Beach Institute. The small schools will all be bunched together on the extreme west side of the stand. Since last week several new subscriptions have been received. The following is a complete list of the donors and the amount each subscribed: Capt.-F. F. Jones 1 00 Mrs. A. E. Jones 1 00 L. B. Thompson 1 00 G. S. Williams 1 00 H. F.

It is gratifying to note the enthusiasm shown in these meetings as illustrated by the lively discussion of the various questions that come before the league as well as the readiness with which new members joined at the last meeting. There will be another meeting at the same place on next Tuesday night, April 29, 1913, at 8 o'clock. All the business men are requested to be present. Poultry Association Formed On Monday April 14, there was organized at The Tribune office by a few poultry financiers, "The Chatham Poultry and Pit Stock Association."

Chwang Savannah Gate Monday, Inspection Day At New Sanitarium ALL THE LATEST HOSPITAL EQUIPMENT INSTALLED New Hospital Has Twelve Large Rooms-All Physicians' Patients to be Treated-Nurse Training Department The new East Side Sanitarium, which has been erected at 754 Gwinnett street, east, will be thrown open to the public Monday afternoon from 2 to 6 o'clock for inspection. This new sanitarium is the only institution of its kind in southeast Georgia for Negroes and already the project has given promise of being a glowing success. The structure is a frame,building, two stories high. It contains twelve large rooms, sufficiently large to accommodate two beds in case of necessity, and a large porch upstairs and downstairs, extending the entire width of the house has been added to the front of the structure. The furniture is entirely modern in every respect and very complete. It was especially constructed for the sanitarium and gives the hospital as neat and spick an appearance as that of any other similar institution in the city. All physicians' patients will be received at the new sanitarium and already several persons have been treated there, regardless of of the fact that the institution will not be formally opened until Monday. There will be conducted at the new sanitarium a thorough nurse training department by the house staff. The institution is strictly private and everything possible is done for the comfort of the patients. Appeal of Old Folks' Home While the campaign for funds for the Old Folks' Home had not been as successful as was expected the society still hopes that the churches, which for various reasons have not been able to contribute, will help in a cause so closely allied to religion itself in the not distant future. The contaiutions are as follows: Second Baptist church $54.35; Beth Eden Baptist church $2.47; total $56.82. The society appreciates the aid so generously given and congratulates the pastors and the members on their christian charity and evident self-sacrifice. Let those churches which have not been able to do anything thus far send in something, little or much, that will show that they have an interest in this work. The society cannot succeed without the moral and financial support of the churches of the community. Christianity is self-sacrifice. This charitable home means nothing but sacrifice. As was said in our appeal for aid, we cannot as a race afford to turn down such an appeal. We still think so. WOULD LIKE 100,000 PERSONS TO SEND $1.00 EACH The University is Facing Serious Crisis-Graduates Making Loyal Rally to Raise $25,000 Fisk University, the most noted Negro institution for higher education, is facing a serious crisis in its attempt to raise an endowment fund. The institution was offered $80,000 more than two years ago by the General Education Board, on condition that it raise $240,000 in addition for liquidation, of accumulated indebtedness of about $50,000 for repairing and refitting buildings, for the installation of a heating and lighting plant, and for endowment. An amount of $300,000 was to be raised, two thirds of which was to go for endowment. The institution has run all these years, almost entirely through the support, from year to year of white friends in the North. About two hundred of these white friends have contributed toward the present endowment effort, but the total amount given leaves $104,000 yet to be raised. The time limit of the initial offer of the General Education Board expires June 1st and the University authorities have no assurance that this time limit will be extended. The alumni are carrying on a loyal rally to raise $25,000 as their share in the fund, but there will still remain nearly $100,000 which must be secured from other friends. The white friends of the Negro have contributed generously to this fund and now are asking what the Colored people propose to do. The authorities of the University are making a nation-wide appeal to the Colored people to, rally to the rescue of this institution which for forty-seven years has offered all that is highest and best in education and culture to the Negroes of the land. They want 100,000 colored people to send them at least $1 between now and June 1st. Checks and money orders should be made payable to Fisk University and may be sent to the editorial office of this paper or directly to Fisk University at Nashville, Tenn. All contributions sent to the office of this paper will be acknowledged in its columns. Shall we rally to the call of an institution which from its foundation has aimed to set the feet of young Negroes in the path to all the learning and culture which the best institutions of the land afford? Messrs. F. M. Cohen, E. W. Sherman and Geo. S. Williams attended a meeting of the Grand Lodge officers of the Knights of Pythias at Macon on Thursday. They returned Friday morning. Beaufort is to vote on extension on next Tussday. April the 29th. Much interest will be taken in this election because the Negro vote counts strong. Both sides are hard after it. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Waterman brought the remains of their infant baby boy to Beaufort on last Sunday for interment from Orangeburg, S. C., where the infant died after an illness of only a few weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Waterman have the sympathy of their many friends. Mr. Robert Bamfield was in the city for a few days last week circulating among his many friends. Mr. Bamfield has made good in the mail service much to his credit. Mr. C. G. Bascomb is spending a while with friends at Pineland, S. C. After a pleasant visit with Beaufort friends, Mrs. Lumbright returns to her home in Kansas City-Mo., this week. She will be ac, companied by her two children. Mr. S. S. Grayson is at home again. We are glad to see that he is recovering from the fearful accident that happened to him some few weeks ago. Beaufort's baseball team is working out for the summer. Captain Edward Meyers says that he will have a fine line up this season. One of the most delightful affairs of the season was that at the auditorium on Monday evening. Beaufort's orchestra rendered some real choice music. The entire affair was indeed delightful. Chapereons were Mrs. C. H. Singleton, Mrs. Sadie E. Singleton, Mrs. Samuel Bryant. Pleasant weather Sunday brought out a large attendance to Tabernacle Baptist church, which closed a big rally under the leadership of Rev. D. W. Bythewood, pastor. Prof. Adams, of Brunswick, Ga., is in the city for a few days arranging for a lecture here at an early date. Armstrong, the wonder in magician is to play in Beaufort. The company comes to Beaufort well recommended. Among the new subscribers to The Tribune this week are Miss Lizzie Knowles, Mrs. Tena N. Green, and Capt. B. H. Houston. Methods of Helping City Negroes. The following are the purposes of the National League or Urban Conditions among Negroes, which have been decided upon after several years of experience in grappling with this urban situation. There are in these purposes certain suggestions for the friends of the Negro, whether their interest is centered in rural communities or in city neighborhoods. These are the aims of the League : (1) To bring about co-ordination and co-operation among existing agencies and organizations for improving the industrial condition of Negroes and to develop other agencies and organizations where necessary; (2) To secure and train Negro social workers; (3) To make studies of the industrial, economic, social, and spiritual conditions among Negroes: (4) To promote, encourage, assist, and engage in any and all kinds of work for improving these conditions.—George E. Haynes in the Southern Workman. lation by all and is an inspiration to the younger generation of the Negro race to set their ideals to a high standard of citizenship and by carrying them out they will prove worthy of their noble heritage. Not only has the Baptist denomination lost a great father but all denominations and the race as whole. Dr. White leaves behind six children who are: Mrs. Chas. A.

Walker Conducted Funeral Services—Many Notable Persons Spoke of the Useful Life of the Decased—Crowds of People Witnessed Funeral Procession—Floral Designs Beautiful The funeral of Rev. William J. Whitie, D.D., Editor of "The Georgia Baptist," Augusta, Ga., who died Thursday night. April 17th, took place Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Springfield Baptist church, that city. His body laid in state at Harmony Baptist church, of which he was pastor for a number of years and the church where he preached his last sermon which was on the Sunday previous to his death, through Sunday to Monday 12 o'clock. from whence it was carried to Springfield Baptist church where the services were held. It was generally acknowledged by the residents of Augusta that Dr. White's funeral was the largest that has ever been held in Augusta. The funeral procession was led by four companies of male students from Haines Institute of that city. Following the students was a very large representation of ministers from all parts of this and other States. The procession was at least four blocks long. There was a large representation from schools of this state and Florida. All along the line of march crowds of people awaited to bow their heads in sorrow for the loss of an uncompromising champion of the race, state and nation. A tremendous gathering attended the services at Springfield Baptist church which were conducted by Rev. C. T. Walker, D.D., LL.D. There was no sermon preached but addresses were made by a number of personal friends of Dr. White. Among them were addresses by Dr. C. T. Walker, Dr. L. P. Pinckney, Dr. Geo. H. Dwelle, Rev. Chas. Williams, Miss Lucy H. Tapley, President of Spelman Seminary, Prof. Griffith Brawley, Dean of Atlanta Baptist College, and Prof. J. W. Gilbert, of Paine College. Beautiful music was rendered by the choirs of Paine College, Haines Institute, Walker Baptist Institute, Springfield Baptist church choir, and Harmony Baptist church choir. There was also a number of excellent solos rendered. As the bier was borne from the church the choir sang softly and sweetly, "Abide with Me." As great a crowd as waited at the church awaited at the cemetery. The services there were also conducted by Dr. C. T. Walker. At one of the public schools of Augusta the week prior to Dr. White's death, he had told the children of how he was instrumental in getting the first public school for them in that city and expressed the desire the that hoped when he died that every school child would drop a flower in his grave. There awaited at the grave the public school children of Augusta, and as the choir sang "Safe in the Arms of Jesus," each school child marched by and dropped a rose in his grave. Dr. White was a great lover of children and was in return loved by the children. The appreciation of Dr. White's life was shown by a great display of floral offerings and also a tremendous influx of telegrams and letters of sympathy and condolence from all parts of the country. Dr. White's services in this life were extensive and were very unselfish in their efforts for the educational and spiritual uplift of the Negro race. His was an unflinching devotion to the best interests of the race. He was the founder of Augusta Institute which later became Atlanta Baptist College. He was also vice-president of the Board of Trustees of Spelman Seminary. He was the oldest Negro newspaper editor in the state of Georgia and was for a number of years one of the leaders of the Negro Republicans of this state. Above all his entire life was spent in the services of the ministry. He has lived a life that is truly worthy of emu- 1 Capt.

The suit illustrated, designed as a spring costume or the young girl, is in navy blue serge. The distinguishing feature of the suit is the extremely low belt around the hip, which is now so fashionable. The skirt is draped up at one side to show a stylish walking pump. To give misses' suits a youthful air trimmings are of a brighter color than those on suits intended for more mature looking women. The Bulgarian and Chinese colors are being very cleverly used. Sashes, which are seen both on Russian and on Bulgarian' blouse suits for girls, are usually in some fancy silk, which imparts a very youthful appearance. Among the bright colors that are fashionable this spring are rose and other soft shades of red, new tans, greens and the Balkan and Copenhagen blues. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson JV.—Second Quarter, For April 27, 1913. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES Text of the Lesson, Gen. xxxvii, 23-36. Memory Verses, 26, 27—Golden Text, I Cor. xiii, 4—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. We begin today some studies in the life of Joseph, who was in many respects a most wonderful type of the Lord Jesus Christ. The Spirit has told us by Paul that Adam and Eve suggest Christ and the church both by analogy and contrast. We have seen much in the death and resurrection and marriage of Isaac, but no character is quite so full typically as that of Joseph. No one can be a type of Christ in the matter of being sinless, for He alone was without sin. But there are quite a number who because of incidents in their lives or official position are suggestive of Christ. We are to have seven studies in the history of Joseph, and as the next will be in chapter xl this lesson must touch xxvii as well as xxxviii. We are introduced to Joseph at the age of seventeen as a shepherd with his brethren (verse 2). There were two peculiar things about him, for neither of which he was responsible—he was loved by Israel more than the others because he was the son of his old age, and the Lord gave him two dreams which indicated an exaltation above his brethren and even above his parents (verses 3-11). Because of his Father's love and these dreams it is written that his brethren hated him and they hated him yet the more and they envied him and as they saw him coming, being sent by his father to seek their welfare, they conspired against him to slay him (verses 4.5, 8, 11, 18, 20) Our lesson verses today tell of his being stripped of his coat of many colors or pieces, cast into a pit, taken up again and sold as a slave for twenty pieces of silver and taken down to Egypt and sold to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh's and captain of the guard. As his father waited and wondered concerning his precious宝ybuy they brought home his coat, which they had dipped in the blood of a kid of the goats, and said, "This have we found—know now whether it be thy son's coat or no." So Jacob was led to suppose that Joseph had been killed by a wild beast, and he refused to be comforted. He had sorely deceived his father, and having sown the wind he reaped the whirlwind. Turning to Joseph, we find him both as a slave and as a prisoner falsely accused and wrongly imprisoned called a prosperous man, for the Lord was with him. In Potiphar's house all that he had was put in Joseph's hand, and even in the prison the keeper put everything under his care, and whatsoever they did there he was the doer of it (xxxix, 1-6, 21-23). So the years passed with Joseph, who was sold for a servant, whose feet they hurt with fetters. He was laid in iron. Until the time that His word came the word of the Lord tried him (Ps. cv. 17-19). In "The Study of the Types," by Miss Ada K. Habershon, she notes the following points of analogy, giving the New Testament and other references. I am glad to quote them for those who are interested enough to look up the references, giving today only those from the two chapters we have looked at. The good shepherd feeding his flocks (John x, 11, 14). Loved by His Father (Matt. lii, 17). Hated, envied and disbelieved by his brethren (John lii, 19, 20; vill, 5; xv, 25; Mark xv, 10; Luke xix, 14). His pre-eminence shown in his dreams (Col. i, 15). His father observed his saying (Luke ii, 51). He willingly agreed to go to his brethren (Ps. xl, 7, 8; Luke xx, 12; John lii, 16). He went from Hebron (fellowship), came to Shechem and was found wandering in the field (John xvl, 28; xvii, 5, 24; iv, 4, 5; Matt. xiii, 38; Luke ix, 58). He went after his brethren to seek their welfare, and his father told him to bring him word again (Luke xix, 10; xv, 4; John xvl, 13). They conspired against him, mocked him, stripped him. put him in a pit, sat down and afterward sold him into Egypt for twenty, pieces of silver (Matt. xvll, 1, 2, 18, 38, 9; xvl, 15; il, 14; Mark xv, 32; Ps. xl, 2; ixix, 2, 14, 15). He became a slave to an officer of Pharaoh, but the Lord was with him and made all that he did to prosper (Isa. xlix. 7; Ilii. 10; Phil. ii. 7; John xvl. 32). Those who oppressed him were blessed for his sake and placed everything under his care (Eph. i. 3; iv. 32; John ill. 35; II Tlm. j. 12). He was a goodly person, well favored, yet without sin (Song v. 16; Luke ii. 52; Hab. iv. 15). Many other texts may be added to these, and we will quote further analogies from Miss Habershon's studies in future lessons. It will help some to remember that "Whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope," and that "These things were our examples and happened unto them for types" (Rom xv. 4; I Cor. x. 6, 11, margin). I have no doubt but that Joseph was sustained in his sufferings by the glory set before him in his dreams, for since he could interpret the dreams of others, as we shall see in our next lesson, he must have understood something of the significance of his own. It is true of every redeemed soul, as it was true of Joseph, that every step in the way of humiliation is a step toward a throne and a kingdom. PATE'S DRUG STORE GEO.

Being honest is the greater part of achievement. When you know that you're doing the best within you, you can't be downed. Self respect is an eternal life preserver. No matter how often circumstance wrecks you, you're bound to float back to solid ground again. When men strive for posts of trust they must be somewhat postlike themselves and stand steady.—Herbert Kaufman. As the Professor Saw It. "Do you believe love makes the world go round, professor?"

Our weaknesses are thus indemnified and are not too costly, being the price we pay for the hour of forgiveness, and the archangel, who has never felt anger, has reason to envy the man who subdues it. When thou forgives, the man who has pierced thy heart stands to thee in the relation of the sea worm that perforates the shell of the mussel, which straightway closes the wound with a pearl.—Jean Paul Richter. The Invention of Wireless Guglielmo Marconi was only fifteen years old when he studied at the universities of Bologna and Badua and began his electrical researches. In the course of the next few years he began the study of the so called Hertzian waves or electrical impulses, which travel through the air without the use of a wire. In 1895, when he was only twenty years old, his advanced knowledge on this obscure subject inspired him with the theory that these waves could be sent out and received at will, and in that year he constructed the first wireless apparatus, the efficiency of which astonished the world.—Chicago Tribune.

Ever and anon, in some unexpected way, some member of the race brings out in bold relief to the scrutiny of the American people, some aspect of the possibilities of the Negro. Such was the case at the recent funeral of the world's greatest financier, J. Pierpont Morgan. It is reported that at the funeral of the great financier, which was attended by some of the most prominent and influential people of our country, the famous solo, Calvary, was rendered by Mr. Harry Burleigh, the noted Negro baritone of New York in such fine and sympathetic style that the rendition brought forth from the son of the dead financier his first and only noticeable expression of grief during the funeral services of his illustrious father. Singing has long been the force of our people. From the day when the band of singers known as Jubilee Singers, left the walls of Fisk University on a world tour and in quest of funds for the enlargement of their plant and returned with sufficient funds for the reedition of Jubilee Hall on the University campus, to the present time, the Negro has been literally singing himself into the hearts of many who could not be reached otherwise. In the field of music, in possibility of our people is great. Our people who sing, and they say that all of us do, should awaken to a consciousness of this in order that every opportunity presented to exhibit the ability and training of us, may be seized and made the most of. In the present day, the Negro needs friends, true and sympathetic friends, who will stand by him, through thick and thin. It is a duty of each of us to strive to make as many friends for the race as possible. We must let the world know what we are doing and what is within us. This can only be done after the world has become interested in us. All of us have a work to perform. To those of us who sing we sincerely trust that when the opportunity is presented to show what is in us, that they will do, as Harry Burleigh did, seize it and make good to the credit of each and all of us. Progressiveness! What does it mean? Let one answer the question by studying the present condition of the Savannah Negro. To say that he is moving forward in the business and commercial life of the community, is to speak within the bounds of truth. Hardly a week passes but that some substantial gain, commercially or otherwise, is made by Negroes of our city, either individually or collectively. Among the most recent steps of advancement in the progressiveness of the Savannah Negro, we regard the organization of a league among the business men a few weeks ago as being one of paramount importance. No one who has watched the advancement of our people upwardly and individually. can seriously question the business fore-knowledge and good sense displayed by our business men in recent organization among them of a Negro business league which has for its purpose the getting together of our business men in general for the greater promotion of business among us. This is indeed a right step in the right direction. And it means much to each of us and to the community. It means, if we predict safely, our going forward at a more rapid pace; it means our becoming more intimately acquainted with each other; it means such a diffusion of new ideas among us and the cultivation of such a healthy spirit of co-operation and self help that our continued success in the financial world is almost assured. To us, the recent organization of a Negro business league is of great significance. It presages a new development in the commercial life of our people. The men who initiated the movement resulting in the organization of the business league, ought to congratulate themselves on the good work which they have started. They are men who have done things in their individual capacities. We believe that they are men who will do things collectively. Let our business men, both young and old, rally to the support of our business league. All good luck and long life to our local Negro business league. Since our last issue, all that was mortal of the late Dr. W. J. White, the veteran Editor of the Georgia Baptist, has been consigned to its last resting place. As a result Georgia and the south mourns to-day. A great loss has come to all of us. A foremost citizen among us has passed to the great beyond. How sad! Yet with the sadness comes knowledge that his was a life well spent. Dr. White was a man who did things. He was not an idle dreamer, a destructive force in his habitation. On the contrary, he was a live, constructive force for good in whatever community he found himself. Dr. White was intensely a race man. He was never found wanting or a trembling coward when the rights of his people were jeopardized. But with pen in hand and sword, if necessary, he proved to be an ever ready champion of the cause of his people. To him, the highest possibilities of man resided within a black skin. He believed in the inherent power of his people. Nothing was too high or lofty for them. Thus he felt, thus he worked, to raise his people to the highest place of efficiency and enlightenment. As a journalist, he was of the first water. Negro journalism owes much to him. His trenchman pen, time and time again, has boldly opened and entered hitherto forbidden fields to Negro journalism. As a churchman, he has helped to place both rank and file of the great Baptist church with which he was connected, on a lofty pedestal. Surely his was a busy life well spent. So more is he among us. Not tired but exhausted, he has given up his place among us on earth and is now gathered unto his Maker. What a life is his to follow! Born during the days of slavery with his very body the chatted of another, reared at the breast of want, unable thereby to share the comforts and pleasures of life, we find him rising step by step to an exalted place in the life of his country and people. He is dead—But he still lives—In the hearts of many who are his survivors are warm places of gratitude for services rendered, for inspiration given, for a touch and a helping hand and a woe of consolation and good cheer during the hour of trial. His life is a fine example of the possibilities of Negro manhood. It teaches that the lowliest of us may aspire for place and honor; that the most ignorant among us may seek for knowledge and its uses; that the most skeptical, broken hearted, helpless and despairing among us may go on to do his duty to himself and to his fellowmen, lifting his hands to God for success. Success came to Dr. W. J. White, success will come to each of us if we but follow in the footsteps of this illustrious man. Let us perpetuate his memory; let us show to the world that the stock and calibre of W. J. White is still in the keeping of our people. Long live the memory of Dr. W. J. White, our friend, our champion, our leader. East Broad Street School Song For Races These are the songs that will be used by the friends and rooters of the East Broad street school.

Farewell Reception On the afternoon of April 18th, from five to seven o'clock, Mrs. George S. Williams received in honor of her sister-in-law, Mrs. M. R. Miller, just on the eve of her departure for Newport. R. I. The home at 414 Duffy street, west, was beautifully decorated for the occasion with bamboo vines, potted flowers and ferns. The entire color scheme carried out was green and white, in keeping with the spring tide. The receiving party consisted of two married ladies and to single ladies, viz.; Mrs. M. R. Miller, Mrs. H. M. Reed, Miss Dolores Price and Miss Susie Scott. These ladies looked charming. Mrs. M. R. Miller was gowned in a brocaded lavender silk trimmed in lavender messaline and cream lace studded with "rhinestone buttons outlined with cerise crystals. In her hair was a jet ornament with curls suspended. Mrs. H. M. Reed was gowned in an embroidered pink chiffon over pink messaline with slippers to match and a crystal bandeau in her hair. Both married ladies wore corsage bouquets of white carnations; their dresses were cut Dutch neck. The receiving party stood in the south-east corner of the room at an angle beneath a bower of green vines and ferns. Little Miss Catherine Reed and Miss Annulette McDowell, one dressed in pink, the other in blue, met the guests at the door. One held a silver salva for the ladies' visiting cards while the other ushered the ladies in. On schedule time the ladies began to arrive and, indeed, it was a fine array of the feminine sex. They were beautifully gowned in Parisian costumes and headwear that would have done honor to a French milliner. Mrs. L. M. Polhard assisted the hostess in presenting the guests to the receiving party. A ceaseless stream poured in up to the designated hour. Everything worked in clock like fashion; not at any time was there any lagging nor did things ever become congested; it was simply methodical. After a little tete-a-tete with the party, the guests would be comfortable seated and then Miss Hilden Ellis would come forward and present a floral basket with napkins for the delicious refreshments to be served; and, after listening a while to the sweet strains from the orchestra that was hidden behind the palms, before departing, each guest would be escorted to the punch bowl which was handsomely decorated and sat in an artificial lake edged with geraniums. Behind this bowl, serving, stood Miss Fannie Deveaux and Miss Anna Tucker, softly attired in clinging dresses of white marquette and clunk lace. When the reception was over and a final adieu was said there was a flash light taken of the receiving party and those who assisted Madame Williams. Those invited were: Mrs. M. R. Miller, Mrs H. M. Reed, Mrs. L. M. Pollard, Mrs. Fannie Deveaux, Mrs. Chas De Vaux, Mrs. Susan Scott, Mrs. A. L. Tucker, Mrs. L. G. Middleton, Mrs. A. M. Steel, Mrs. M. E. Williams, Mrs. W. S. Scott, Mrs. L. B.

C. M. Brinson, N. G. J. D. Powell, P. S. An interesting four act melodrama entitled "Altar of Riches" was given by the senior normal class of the Georgia State College on last Wednesday night in the College chapel. The act was well staged and the setting was very good. Among those who took prominent parts and who acquitted themselves well were: Misses Ruth Pettie, Willie Grant, Essie Hannah; Messrs. Thomas Grant, W. T. Parker, F. R. Lampkin, A. E. Easton and Mr. N. D. Bryant. Those present enjoyed the play very much and were loud in their encominus of work of the participants. Deaths Mrs. Nannie Fields, formerly of this city, died in Macon, Ga., and was buried here from the First African Baptist Church on last Thursday afternoon. Rev. W. L. Jones conducted the services. Mrs. Fields is an old resident of this city and is well liked. She leaves one daughter, Mrs. Ella Hart; two sons, Jesup and Lawrence Fields; one sister, Mrs. Sibby Singleton and other relatives to mourn her death. Mr. Isaac H. King, late of 520 E. Taylor St., departed this life on last Wednesday morning beet four o'clock. Since quite a boy Mr. King had lived in this city. He was 55 years old. The funeral took place from the home on Thursday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev.R. Bright, rector of St. Stephen's Episcopal church. To The Public. In reference to my card in the two previous issues of The Tribune in which it was stated that E. Rankin no longer had authority to sell lots in Central Park for the Central Park Land Corporation or in Cann Park for the Wilkerson Realty Co., or to collect money on either proposition, and the truth of which he had the audacity to deny in The Tribune, over his own signature, and in which matter C.A. McDowell saw fit to "dip" into gratuitously and without proper authority so to do, I would respectfully have the public know that I would not gondessend to argue the matter or to dignify either party by a reply through these columns, but submit the facts for the information of my customers and the public generally, as follows: In my capacity as General Agent for each of the above companies, and under the authority vested in me as such, I employed E. Rankin as agent, and under and with the same authority I dismissed him from his capacity as agent for good and sufficient cause. This was done without prejudice to or reflection on him. Then after his determination to hang on anhow, I caused the president of the two companies to send him a letter of enlightenment a copy of which follows: "Savannah, Ga., April 19, 1919. "Mr. E. Rankin." "G. H. Bowen has full charge of Cann and Central Park lots, and you with several others have been his sub agents. As you have quit working for him I have decided that it will be better for you to discontinue any further efforts in selling said property and therefore withdraw the list of lots that you have. "Yours truly. Thanking the public for its very liberal patronage and with an apology for this untoward and uncalled for intrusion. I beg to say that I am still on the job with a fine list of property and a full corps of energetic and courteous salesmen, and we shall strive in the future as in the past to merit your liberal patronage and hearty cooperation.

It is important that every child of school age be reported. The local wireless station will receive new apparatus which will enable the covering of three hundred more miles. Mr. Josephus Grant was shot through the left lung, with a charge of bird shot while standing near the door of a dance hall at Burroughs, on Sunday morning. Henry Johnson did the shooting and was soon afterwards arrested. Grant died immediately. Being a "Good Fellow" Every now and then we hear of some one dying in bitter poverty after having spent a fortune in "being a good fellow." Of such a one it is commonly said while he is alive and spending, that he has a "heart like an ox and a hand always deep in his pocket;" he is spoken of—frequently within his own hearing—as a "prince among men" or "one of nature's noblemen." It seems passing strange that a man with the power to attract to himself so many warm friends should not have any willing to pay his funeral expenses. Yet such is often the case. It is a fact frequently commented on by philosophers that these peerages of cafe creation die with the fortunes that produced them. A real "prince among men" or "nature's nobleman" looses his title when his money ceases to burn holes in his pocket, after which he should set aside a little money for his own obsequies. But those who argue from the forlorn and friendless passing of one of these "good fellows" that there are no real friends to be had in this world are wrong. Every one can make friends, and stanch ones too, by the practice of unselfishness, but not by wasting money on the worthless in the vain hope of being considered a "good fellow," which is merely another name for a complete fool. It is not he who "gives to every one who asks," but he who seeks out those who are too proud to ask and relieves their necessities, who awakens genuine gratitude and attaches to himself the sort of friends that are worth having. Such a man, however, is seldom termed a "good fellow." Corner Stone Laying at Cherry's High School. Promptly at eleven o'clock, April 13th, acting Grand Master J. W. Weston, sounded his gavel for order at the Masonic Temple in the presence of three hundred Masons, and after very impressive devotional services led by acting Grand Chaplain C. H. Hatcher, the Grand Master stated the object of the meeting, after which he gave some very wholesome advice, touching upon the life a true Masonic brother should live, especially in the gaze of the public. The grand marshal then proceeded to march the brethren to where the exercises took place. The exercises were begun by a song and a fervent prayer by the grand chaplain. Miss Lucy B. Roberson was introduced to the assemblage and delivered one of the most interesting addresses that has been heard in this locality in some time. Dr. R. T. Schells, financial agent for C. C. College, was introduced and spoke on the subject of education. Among the many things, he said: "We find that the other fellow has succeeded and one of the main factors responsible for his success, was education, and if we would succeed we must get at least some of the things that made him successful." Further he said that Rev. G. S. Clarke, the beloved pastor of Sardis Baptist church, never would have risen above the ordinary walk of a plow hand, had he tried to make it without acquiring an education; that he was proud of his work at the First Baptist church in the city; that he had the highest compliments to throw out to Cherry's High School, that no man saving W. C. Chaney could have made the school what it was. He bade them go on with their progressive march towards civilization. He closed with a general plea to parents to educate their children. Grand Master J. W. Weston then proceeded to lay the stone. Quite impressive did he deliver the dedication address; after which Deputy Grand Master Wm. Marshall presented him with the corn of nourishment, which was deposited in the stone. Then Grand Senior Warden J. G. Seward presented him with the wine of refreshment which was poured into the stone, and the oil of joy was presented him by Grand Junior Warden S. M. Mack, which was also poured in the stone, after which the brethren contributed very liberally to the cause. Then came the spectators who also contributed; and after a few remarks from Rev. W. C. Chaney, the founder, the craftmen were marched back to the hall, where, after a few wholesome remarks by the Grand Master and a visiting brother, the order was called off. Jas. G. Seward, Reporter. Milady's Mirror Making the Wrists Tapering. In these days of abbreviated sleeves shapely arms are more than ever a desirable asset of beauty and incidentally more difficult to acquire and retain since they are so exposed to air and dust. Thick wrists are proverbially ugly, so if that is your trouble train them down by drawing first one and then the other through a circle made by pressing together the ends of the thumb and forefinger of the other hand. Repeat this whenever you happen to think of it and with an increasing degree of force. Be extremely careful in starting the movement not to pull or enlarge the joints of the wrist nor to stretch the tendons and keep in mind that it is a "taperling" wrist you are working for. If the hand is spread unduly just where it joins the wrist then commence the movement at the line of the knuckles instead of at the wrists and work down as if you were putting on a pair of new gloves. If the whole arm is too fleshy rub in a lotion composed of eighty-two grams of glycerin, five grams of iodide of potassium, twenty-three grams of alcohol and ten drops of oil of cloves, or if they are too thin apply olive oil and almond oil in equal parts, say three ounces each. Exercise hardens the muscles and makes them firm, but it is no longer considered desirable to cultivate bunches of muscle. Rather the effort is to develop symmetry; hence all the exercises for beautifying the contour of the arm should be exceedingly gentle, and here is an excellent one for making the lower arm shapey: Stretch the arm out from the shoulder; then turn the hand around as far as possible, with the elbow as a pivot, first one way, then the other, and repeat this four times with each arm. If the wrists are scrawny turn the hands upon the wrists as a pivot and, in addition, massage every night with warm cocoa butter, employing a rotary motion. If the skin of the arms is rough, with a tendency to redden and chap, wash them at night with a bit of old linen and apply a cold cream, but if they are merely rough and do not respond to this treatment run a pumice stone very, gently over the surface, apply a soothing cream and draw on a pair of long gloves for the night. If the growth of hair upon the arms is thick enough to be disfiguring there is no harm in removing it with barium sulphide, since the operation does not have to be repeated more than once or twice a year. Ask for 5 cents' worth at the druggist's, mix with it about a dessertspoonful of flour, adding enough water to make a paste, and then spread it with a knife all over the arms where there is hair to be removed. Allow it to remain about three minutes, then scrape it off with a dull edged knife, when the offending hair will come with it, leaving the arm smooth and clean. Peroxide of hydrogen, used full strength, will also in time so dry the roots of the hairs after lightening them that eventually they will disappear or at least be much less noticeable. Cucumber In the Toilet. If your cook prepares cucumber salad in the French (the best) way you can procure your lotion without sacrificing your salad, and, let me tell you, the French way is the only one that renders cucumbers perfectly digestible. The vegetable should be peeled and finely sliced into a dish, with a pinch of salt lightly sprinkled over it. Then set the dish aside for twenty-four hours, at the end of which time you will find a quantity of juice has drained out. This juice the French cook throws away, holding the dish under the cold water tap for an instant to wash both salt and juice away together. Then the cucumber, well drained, is dressed for table with a pinch of salt, plenty of black pepper, some vinegar and a few drops of oil. But it is the salt juice that the cook throws away that you need for your face lotion, to be applied round the eyes where the skin appears to sag. You can sponge the face with this night and morning, watching carefully the result and stopping the treatment if any roughness should make its appearance. In this event return for a few days to your usual face cream. Beauty Tips. There are only a few simple rules to follow if one wishes, to improve her complexion or to keep what she already has. The general health must be good, the diet looked to, plenty of outdoor exercise taken, a fondness for the bath cultivated and one's temper kept unruffled at all costs. To be afflicted with a red nose is one of the most distressing alliments that can befall any young woman who has the slightest regard for her good looks, and what woman is so devoid of vanity that she doesn't care to cultivate beauty? If you wish to remove discolorations from the skin, especially the neck, where collar bands have rubbed the skin, take the juice of two lemons and strain. Mix this with half its quantity of rosewater and rub into the skin with a soft sponge. The eyebrows are apt to grow shaggy or sparse with increasing years, but their bow shape might have been preserved indefinitely had their owner been careful to brush them daily with a soft toothbrush kept for the purpose.

Office, 509 West Broad Street, Savannah Georgia. J. S. Perry, Supt. A. B. Singfield, Genl. Supt. Quieting Noisy Boys. Have you never wished you could think of something to keep those noisy boys quiet Sunday mornings, when nobody but boys think of rising as early as upon other days? A maiden aunt—always a blessing to any household—has devised this plan. Every Sunday morning when the obstreperous ones awake their eyes rest upon two mysterious packages tied with many strings. After much undoing of knots they find within the big brown paper bags animal crackers, bits of candy, fruit and some pictures for their scrap books or any of the thousand simple things it takes to entertain a child. It takes many minutes to unearth the treasures, and by that time the grownups are astir, having enjoyed their last morning's doze undisturbed. WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING. It does not seem to be likely that Miss Julia Lathrop will be removed from the head of the children's bureau on account of a change in the administration, as many officeholders will remain, among them Charles P. Neill as commissioner of labor, under whose department the bureau will be classed. Miss Inoz Millholland suggests that girls who are incorrigible be sent to a farm or trade school where they could be taught useful industries. It seems almost impossible for them to learn any place else, as once having had a bad reputation, it clings to a girl, and no employer likes to have such girls associated with the respectable men and women. In Paris the authors have a woman who sets them right as to the details of the dress of the women they write about. She tells them whether they have used the right words to describe the dress and whether the colors that are fashionable are named. The woman who does this is always anonymous, and no one but herself and the author is aware of her existence. The Texas legislature adopted the bill that will give women the same property rights as men by a vote of seventy-four to forty-three, notwithstanding the fact that a few minutes before the house had rung with applause of the speech of Mr. Bagby, in which he begged that the old chivalrous idea that the southern man protects his wife be not abandoned and the wife become little more than mistress in the household. Mrs. Hortense Ward of Houston, who had worked for the bill, grew anxious when she heard the applause that greeted the pretty, sentiment, but the vote proved that it was for the eloquence rather than the plea. The World's Deserts. The desert area of the earth is said to be about 4,180,000 square miles in extent Points for Mothers Happy Names. There is little doubt that the fervent wish of every mother's heart is that her child's life may be a happy one, so, in furtherance of this desire, the young mother cannot do better than give her baby a "happy" name with which to start life: Every one is familiar with the names Ada and Ida, but perhaps their beautiful meaning of "happy one" is not always equally well known. Then Felicia and Felicity (happiness) are used in several countries. In France, under the forms of Felise (happy), and Felicite (happiness); in Italy as Felge and Felicita; in Spain, Felcedad, and in Portugal as Felcedate. "A happy messenger" is signified by Evangeline, Evangellina and Evangelista. The shorter form, Angelina, Angeline, Angela and Angel mean a "messenger" (from God). Letitia and Letty both mean "gladness." while Allen and Allan denote "cheerfulness." Another name, not so much used as it deserves to be, is the pretty Hilary, which also reveals the same virtue. Joy should assuredly be the inheritance of those christened so, or by the uncommon and beautiful name Aine (joy), a title borne by a famous Irish queen of the fairies "Merry," or "sportive," is the signification of the names Joyce, Jocosa and Jocelin. But two somewhat similar names, Joycelin and Jocelin, mean "just." Mabel, ever popular and ever loved, denotes "mirth." It is not, as often erroneously imagined, derived from the two French words Ma Belle, but from the old Irish word "Meadhall," a shout of mirth. Eustace is one who should be "happy in harvest," while the rare but lovely Greek names Eudorn (happy gift) and Eunice (happy victory) are indeed worthy of notice. And since true happiness is mainly dependent upon nobility of life and character a selection may be made from the class of "noble" names, which include such familiar ones as Ethel (noble and its combinations — Ethelburga (noble protection); Ethelred (noble cousin); Alice, Adealde, Adela and Adele' (noble cheer); Adelina (noble manner); Athelstane (noble stone); Albert (noble bright) and Alaric (noble ruler), or from the "kingly" names—Roderick (famous king), Richard (stern king), Tiernan (kingly), Stephen (a crown), Robert and Rupert (bright fame) and Rex (a king). The Disorderly Child. If I had only realized when I was a child how much more work it made to have people disorderly and careless about their things I am sure I should have been more careful, but I didn't realize, writes Ruth Cameron in the Milwaukee Sentinel. That is the oft expressed sentiment of one young woman who has recently gone to housekeeping in a home of her own. And I fancy there are many of us who could say the same thing—we didn't realize. And not about that matter only, but about many matters. I have heard it said that children are naturally selfish. I beg to differ. I think they are naturally full of the most generous impulses. But I do admit that they are naturally thoughtless, and that is what makes them seem selfish. It is not that they would be deliberately selfish and unkind. It is just that they have lived so short a time that they do not understand the trouble and pain and self denial they may be the cause of. They just don't realize. I once knew a wise mother who grasped this fact and based her training on the effort to make her children realize exactly what they were doing when they were thoughtless or careless or unreasonable. For instance, take the very matter of which the young housewife spoke. This mother had a daughter who was terribly slack about leaving things around. She would come into the house and leave her coat on one chair and her fur on another, throw her gloves on the table and put her hatpins on the mantelpiece and only put away her hat because she was afraid something would happen to the feathers if she didn't. Her mother talked and talked to no avail. Finally she decided to make the daughter realize the trouble she was causing. So she told her that for the next week she (the mother) would not pick up one thing that any of the children left lying around, that her daughter must keep the house' in order as a punishment for past misdeeds and that if she failed to do so she would not be allowed to go to a certain function to which she was looking forward. Outdoor Sleeping For Babies Perhaps one of the best things that is being done for the baby nowadays is the general provision that is made for his sleeping out of doors. Throughout the suburbs one sees on scores of houses attractive sleeping porches where the children of the family of all ages sleep, gaining health and the power to resist the colds that used to be accepted as an inevitable part of the child's winter program. A baby that sleeps out of doors, for the greater part of the year is far more robust than the one that is coddled and guarded against possible drafts and exposure.

LOUIS, MO. --- Among the Masons Masons should remember that despite the multiplicity of lessons and the division of interests, the highest ideal of the craft is Righteousness. The brilliant man does not always make a successful Master, for the reason that he is liable to be erratic. The broad-minded, well-balanced presiding officer conducts the affairs of the Lodge with a minimum of friction and a maximum of safety. The man who does not care enough about Masonry to pay his dues will not have his feelings wounded if he is stricken from the rolls. "The man whose ennity could be aroused by a simple act of justice does not deserve the title of brother," The spirit in the above quotation is where the fault lies. The good man can never die. Every worthy deed—aye, and every worthy thought, bears its fruitage, and ever works for good, whether the worthy act is written large in the records of men or is secret, known only to God, it brings its golden harvest. Thus is a beautiful and symmetrical character formed, and the harvest of life really ripens only when the soul has been released by the dissolution of the body. Away, then, with indifference. Let us rise to the full stature of Masonic manhood—let us seek honor by the doing of good deeds. Let us remember that "as we seek, so shall we find." Let not the Masonic emblem or charm be the only badge that marks us as one of the brotherhood, but let us remember that the highest and proudest title that can be conferred upon is that we can stand just and upright Masons.—Trestle-Board. The story comes from a small town of a goat that had long enjoyed the freedom of the village, that no one seemed to own, and that the people believed must belong to the local masonic lodge. As the tale goes, the goat one day (it could not have been in the evening, as at that time he would have been occupied with his Masonic duties), took it into his wise head that he had cause of offence against the shoemaker of the village. By way of revenge, he butted through the cobbler's window, to the great damage of the person and property of that individual. The aggrieved Crispin sought at once to ascertain the ownership of the that goat, he might be recompensed for, the loss incurred. Acting upon the best advice of his neighbors, he stated the extent to which he was damaged, made out a bill to cover the same, and sent it to the lodge. The brothers, enjoying the joke, allowed the claim, and made full payment to the cobbler on the goat's account. And to this day, as concludes the story, the people of the village are firmly convinced that his goatship is an important adjunct of the lodge.—Exchange. A GREAT FUTURE Brilliant as is Masonry's past, the future promises to be yet more glorious. Not only in increase of numbers, not only in greater influence, not only in higher respects in every community where it exists, but in the power to do good, and exert a moral influence that is irresistible. Masonry's commanding position in the world to-day, due to its sublime ritual, its hoary antiquity, its good deeds and high ideals, makes it next to religion, the greatest power known to man for humanity's uplift. No Man can prophesy the tremendous influence that Masonry will exert in the years to come. And right here we must utter a note of warning. Masonry is not a religion, and is not meant to supplant religion. Some Masons may say, "Masonry is a good enough religion for me." But this is a serious—a fatal error. Masonry is not and cannot be a religion. It was not intended as such. True, it is founded upon the Bible, and its code of ethics cannot be surpassed. But religion must come first. Religion is man's only hope in this world and the world to come. Masonry is but the handmaid of religion, and, as such, is worthy of all honor and respect. Let us all, then, with a true appreciation of Masonry's place as second to that of religion, unite in making our grand old institution a mighty power for good, whose future shall aid in speedily bringing about the brotherhood of man, under divine fatherhood of God.

Reflections I would not wear the laurels that he wears, Who truckles to the plaudits of the crowd Who wins mean prey amid a flood of tears, Rung from the eyes, both, of the meek and proud I would not stain my garment with the blood, Of struggling souls, bent with intent rise, Nor would I drown them in a liquid flood Of sorrow on a mean and base surmise. I'd rather fight, and, fighting, win a name, For lifting souls by bringing to them light. Than boost myself into the realm of fame By flailing them, deep, with the flail or might. If crushing men to win the plaudits, deep Of the theorists who would their ermines trim With conquests, new, to push them up the steep, O, let the job be ever unto him! Such actions soft, lead men onto the top, But treacherous winds give them unsteady tread. And force their hopes and putrid selves to drop Back to the base, and unto glory, dend! O, let not hopes of plaudits of the proud, Constrain you, thus, to fawning and to shame! But let the trump of honor blowing loud, Induct your feet into the courts of fame. Edward Winfred Sheiman.
