The VOLUME XXXII MUCH ACCOMPLISHED DURING TWELVE MONTHS Glowing Reports Listened to On Monday Night. At the annual meeting Monday night reports of the year's work of the local branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes were read by the various officers. The meeting was held at the league's headquarters and was attended by a very enthusiastic crowd. The principal feature of the meeting was President Sol. C. John-on's annual report which told in a very comprehensive manner of the many accomplishments of the league during the past twelve months and in which many splendid recommendations for the futherance of the work during the coming year were made. The financial condition of the league was shown by the report of the treasurer, Rev. R. H. Singleton, to be excellent, the body having on hand over six hundred dollars after meeting the annual expenditures which totaled $744.24. The reports which showed the wide scope of relief work which has been done by this branch of the league, elicited much favorable comment. The organization has been growing steadily each year until at present the membership of the local body is perhaps the largest of any of the branches of the league. The annual election of officers was held at Monday night's meeting, the old officers being re-elected. President's Report "We are submitting to you our third annual report. As the years roll around, and the work in which we are engaged is studied, those of us who are more deeply in sympathy with it realize its vastness, the great good that can be accomplished and rich experience gained.

OCCUPIES HER PALATIAL RESIDENCE ON HENRY STREET Scores of Friends Inspect and Praise New Home of Mrs. Barnes The palatial residence of Mrs. R. L. Barnes at No. 525 East Henry street, was thrown open to friends on last Sunday for inspection. Words of praise were numerous. Mr. W. J. Ayers, the builder, came in for a large share of it for the excellence of the workmanship in every detail. About 5 o'clock in the afternoon the home was solemnly dedicated. This ceremony was conducted by Rev. R. H. Singleton, assisted by Rev. A. L. Sampson and Rev. Wm. L. Cash. This part was impressive and was followed by hearty congratulations. of the week, and is now snugly ensconced in one of the best Lomes, re Mrs. Barnes moved in the first part gardless of race, in the city. Her new telephone number is 2454-W. AT THE N. M. C. A. Sunday's program was genuinely helpful to each of those who composed the representative audience at St. Paul church. The principal address was delivered by Col. J. C. Lindsay, the well-known insurance and business man. To say the least, it was the concensious of opinion that for genuine, practicality and helpfulness, few, if any addresses yet delivered at the association's Sunday meetings has a more inspiring effect upon the audience than the one of last Sunday. The instrumental solo by Mr. Oscar M. Thompson of Florida was indeed a gem. Report of the Y. M. C. A. night school showed a healthy growth of that institution. The Y. M. C. C. A. football team met the Ga. State College team on last Monday and while the team went down in defeat before the crack team of the Ga. State College, yet too much credit cannot be given Capt. Roberts and his men for the game fight which they put up against their opponents who were much their superior in weight and experience. The association acknowledged the substantial subscription given it by the students who witnessed last Monday's game. On tomorrow a business session will be held, during which the election of officers and the outlining of the work for the ensuing year will take place. The meeting will begin promptly at 4 p.m. Mr. Walter Dunham of Brooklyn, N. X. is in the city. the guest of his sister, Miss M. E. Dunham, after an absence of fourteen years. SAVANNAH, GEORGIA. Body Of Wealthy Negro Is Riddled FOLLOWING LYNCHING BY MOB AT ABBEVILLE, S. C. Cursing and Abusing Merchant Cause Of Trouble Abbeville, S. C., Oct 21—Anthony Crawford, a Negro, was taken from jail and lynched here this afternoon. The Negro had been arrested after striking M. B. Cann, a white man, in the head with a hammer, dangerously injuring him. Cann was one of a crowd which had undertaken to whip the Negro this morning for cursing and abusing a white merchant. Crawford, who is reputed to own $20,000 worth of farm lands in this vicinity, was badly beaten this morning, but Sheriff Burt rescued him from the mob. The officers took the Negro, who had struck Cann in his struggle against the mob, to jail, where his wounds were dressed. At 3:30 this afternoon another mob assembled and made its way into the jail through the back entrance. The jailer, surprised, was quickly overpowered and the prisoner taken from his cell. The mob, said to have numbered between 200 and 300 men, carried the Negro to a spot near the county fair grounds, where he was hanged to a pine tree and his body riddled with bullets. GA. STATE SWAMPS Y. M. C. A. In what had given promise of being a fiercely contested gridiron battle, the Ga. State College boys swamped the city Y. M. C. A. team on last Monday afternoon. The game was minus the thrills usually attendant upon local football contests and after the first two minutes of play it was evident that the Y. M. C. A. was no match for the husky and well-conditioned college team. The game ended in a score of 42 to 0. During the entire forty minutes of play the Y. M. C. A. failed to make but one first down, and that on a lucky forward pass. The Ga. State boys were in excellent condition for this early period of the season and their fast and strong team work reflected much credit on the training which Coach Tucker has given them. Their forward passes were well executed and the interference on end runs was good, while their terrific line smashing tore great gaps in the Y. M. C. A. forwards. The team left Thursday in charge of Coach Tucker for Augusta where they played Halnes yesterday. EXPOSES WILSON'S DISLIKE OF NEGRO Conditions Made Most Unpleasant for Colored Postal Employees And Salaries Cut William H4 Crosby in an address to the Negro Republican league called attention to the manner in which the Wilson administration had discriminated against Negro citizens. He quoted from a speech of President Wilson at Philadelphia on July 4, 1914, declaring that the Democratic party set up no barriers against any particular people, and contrasted it with what actually has been done. Said Mr. Crosby: "As soon as President Wilson was inaugurated there was formed in Washington a secret organization known as the Democratic Fair Play Association. Among its honorary members were such noted opponents of the Negro race as Senators Hoke Smith, Vardaman and Tillman. President Wilson himself was included. The object of this association was to get rid of most of the Negroes in the government service to make way for white Democrats. This scheme was exposed before it could be carried out." Mr. Crosby told of the dismissal of Negroes in the Government service during Wilson's term. He credited the Cleveland administration with having been fair on this question. Mr. Crosby continued: "The present Democratic administration found nearly 200 Negro employees in the post office and in the office of the auditor of the post office department, with salaries ranging from $1,800 down. Now there are less than 100 with anything like decent salaries Every colored clerk in the office of the auditor has been reduced, with the exception of two. In the post office building Negro employees have been assigned to abscure quarters, hidden away in some remote section. SATURDAY OCTOBER, 28th, 1916 children, all actively engaged in farm-Gathered around Mr. Spence are his ing. A number of acres is allotted to one of his sons. Mr. Robert Spence another part to Mr. Cornellus Spencer and to Mr. Mayfield Carpenter, the husband of one of his daughters. They raise about the best crops in that section, and Mr. Spence especially lives at home. His barn, meat and supply houses are well filled with provisions. The only articles generally purchased by him are coffee, tea and clothing. He has a spacious home, comfortable and attractively arranged. The party will ever remember the dining-table laden with good things which were greatly enjoyed. Mrs. Spence was tireless in her efforts to make the short stay pleasant and to see that the repast was enjoyed. In this she was joined by her daughters. Mrs. Nancy Carpenter, Misses Lena, Mary and Alice Spence. This is indeed a happy home, and shows what can be secured through thrift and right living. Mr. Spence stands well in his community and is highly respected by all classes of neighbors. With his quaint humor he kept away all dull cares from his visitors. In making the trip four counties were entered. The, Effingham county roads were the worst of them all. Jenkings county had the best. The only mishap of the entire trip was a small puncture. Ga. State Pulls Out Tournament SPARTANS AND FOREST CITY PLAY NEXT WEEK Incomplete Mixed Doubles to be Played Next Saturday The second tournament for the Balfour trophy among local clubs, which started on Monday afternoon has been halted on account of the withdrawal from the tournament of the Georgia State team. The College's withdrawal necessitated a complete revision of the schedule. The new schedule as printed below will take only five days to complete instead of fifteen as required by the old schedule. The opening match on Monday was played on the Forest City Club's court at 43rd, and Florence streets. The Spartan Club, represented by Miss Ione Monroe and Mr. Mathew Jones met the Forest City team composed of Mrs. H. S. Cleancey and Prof. R. W. Gadsden. The play was remarkable but the bright spot was the playing of Miss Monroe who did a remarkable "come back." Play was called on account of darkness with the score as follows: sets 1 to 1; games 1 for the Spartans and the game progress at deuce with Mr. Matthew Jones serving and Prof. Gad-den receiving. This match will be played off Saturday, Nov 4, and will start where darkness stopped the contest. Schedule Nov. 1—Ladies' singles, Forest City court. Nov. 2—Men's doubles, Spartan coult.

Whitis who suffered a paralytic stroke a little over a month ago, Mr. W. J. Kennedy, Jr., of Americus, has been placed in charge of the local office of the North Carolina Mutual and Proficient Association. Mr. Kennedy who has been in insurance work for several years, comes here from Augusta where he was manager of the local office of the Guaranty Mutual Life and Health Insurance company. Mr. Kennedy is a native of Americus. He is a young man of much push and will no doubt add much stimulus to the work of his company here. IS DECLARED GUILTY OF ATTACKING SHERIFF Lina, O.. Oct 26.—Milton Spyker, charged with attacking Sheriff Sherman E. Fly, with intent to lynch him when the sheriff refused to divulge the hiding place of Charles Daniels, a Negro sought by the molk, was found guilty to night by a jury. The penalty is from one to ten years in state prison. Spikes is the first of thirty-four men indicted to be placed on trial. VISIT PROSPEROUS About two weeks ago a party consisting of President L. E. Williams of the Wage Farmers Savings Bank, Cashier R. A. Harper of the same, Mr. T. M. Holly, Mr. R. T. Spencer and a Tribune representative, made an auto trip to Millen, via Springfield and Sylvanin. From Millen the Sarills road was taken to the large farm of Mr. Ross Spence about five miles from Millen. Mr. Spence is the brother of Mr. R. T. Spencer of this city, and is one of the largest farmers in Jenkins county, regardless of race. His farm covers many hundred acres. In order to give a slight idea of it, the line begins at the public road, and his home is situated mere than a mile from this road and at that the home is not in the center of the farm. It was with regret that, the party left this home, but with memories ever pleasant. NUMBER 5 TWO DIE FROM AUTO SMASHUP ED. CROGMAN AND WML WHITA FATALLY INJURED Party of Four were Trying Out New Car When Accident Occurred Atlanta, Ga. Oct 21—As a result of fatal wounds received in an unavoidable automobile accident which occurred while out riding with Messrs. William White of Athens and Steven Pool, a railway mail clerk of this city, Mr. Edmund Loring Crogman, a railway mail clerk and son of Dr. W. H. Crogman of Clark University, died in the Grady Hospital this city, on Thursday, October 19th, after being unconscious since Tuesday evening, October 17th, at which time the accident occurred: Mr. White also succumbed to the injuries he received. The two members of the party who were wounded but not fatally, are Steven Pool, badly bruised about the face and body; Allen Scerls, arm broken and cut about face. The following statement was made to The Tribune reporter by Mr. Scerls, owner and driver of the car, on Tuesday, October 21th: "About 7 o'clock last Tuesday Mr. Crogman called me up, saying that he had just come in off his run and wanted to go for a little ride. We had just been out about twenty minutes and were homeward bound. We were coming down Highland avenue at the rate of about twenty miles an hour, behind a street car, the light from which was darkening a long block. My automobile had dimmers on and I could not see far ahead. Suddenly we saw a lumber wagon, a two-horse team, in the middle of the street, without any lights on it at all. The team was carrying a load of about 6,000 pounds. There were only two things for me to do, to either strike the wagon or strike a telegraph pole and the wagon, so I turned to the left and struck the wagon on the side. If Mr. Crogman had not been an experienced automobile driver and keen to the dangers of such circumstances, he probably would not have attempted to jump. "As a result of the crash, the car is a total wreck. Neighbors called up for the ambulance which arrived shortly after the accident and removed us to the hospital. I was then arrested and placed under a $500 bond. It was an accident that could not have been avoided." Mr. Croxman was well-known throut out the state and liked by everyone with whom he came in contact, and was of a most pleasing disposition. He had been employed in the mall service for ten years, his last run being between Atlanta and Birmingham. His record in the service was a most enviable one. At the funeral service which was held in Clark University chapel on Sunday afternoon, the chapel was filled to its capacity. How well Mr. Crogman was thought of was shown by the large number of beautiful and expensive floral offerings sent from all parts of the state, which is said to be among the largest ever seen, in Atlanta. He was horne by his fellow workers in the mail service. Mr. Crogman is survived by his father and mother. Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Crogman; three sisters. Mrs. R. R. Wright, Jr., Philadelphia, Pa., and Misses Ada and Edith Crogman, and three brothers. Mr. Magnellus Crogman, Philadelphia, Pa., Dr. L. D. Crogman, and Mr. William Crogman, Chicago, Ill. CENTRAL PARK ENROLLMENT INCREASES The officers of Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute report an increase in every department since last week. Lawyer G. W. Hall. Rev. R. H. Singleton and Mr. G. H. Bowen recently addressed the school. We have the promise of a baseball outfit for the boys and a tennis and croquet set for the girls from Rev. Singleton. The class making the highest average is to have a useful class trophy from Mr. G. H. Bowen. Each class is striving for the trophy. EMANCIPATION COMMITTEE The Emancipation Committee will meet at Asbury M. E. Church, at 12:30 o'clock Tuesday October 31st. Every one interested is expected to be present and take a part in the organization and to transact other business of importance to the association. PAGE TWO URBAN LEAGUE YEAR'S WORK (Continued from Page One) some good has been accomplished. Many saddened, fireless and cheerless homes have been made glad, warmed and cheerful; some boy and girl made to feel that there are some one who are ready and willing to help and inspire them and scores. of our old mothers and fathers have been made to feel that there are among us many who are willing and anxious to cast a little sunshine in their lives. And besides this we are silently impressing some of our white friends with the fact that we are doing something as a race for the unfortunate ones in our midst. The impress for good that the Urban League has done during these years is being felt in every walk of life, and all of us who have had a share in belonging this to pass, should with pardon feel proud of that fact, and be spurred on an be inspired for greater service. We should not boast, but it is with pardonable pride that we point to the achievements of these years. Through your efforts this organization has done more good, and continued longer than any benign effort ever inaugurated in this community. This should inspire us the more for faithful and self-sacrificing service. Year's Work Immediately after our last annual meeting plans were prepared for the raising of our Christmas and Charity Fund. Through your efforts $458.24 were raised. Of this amount $210.90 were spent for the giving of cheer to many needy ones during the holidays. The balance of this total raised was applied to the Charity Fund, which was used in assisting needy ones during the year, and to further the activities of the league. An itemized account will be rendered by the treasurer. At the Christmas season 600 families were reached, and baskets with groceries, some with clothing and many pairs of shoes were given. During the year 22 cases were investigated or received from the Associated charities, and the beneficence of the league extended. 58 applications were received at the office for help or advice. 24 were reported by members of the league. Transportation was given to six. To many, advice was given. We find that in this work that a word of admonition, advice and cheer generally inspire and help. To many, this is appreciated as much as the substantial assistance given. School Children's Races Through the Boys' Club, the largest attended and the best conducted School Children's Races ever held was given in May. The gathering was the largest ever had in this city and was a success in every way. The league is indebted to those faithful and efficient members of the committee for their great achievement in giving to our boys and girls an afternoon of unbounded joy. Health Week Health Week was observed in May. A meeting was held at St. Paul church, Charles street, one at F. B. B. Church, one at St. James A. M. E. Church and one at Beth Eden Baptist Church. There was a varied program at each church, and practical subjects discussed. Some good is being done through these lectures. Our Dr. W. A. Harris gave several of his helpful lectures with the lantern slides during the year. In these efforts Dr. Harris is doing more good than is apparent to many of us, and for which our hearty appreciation is extended. Employment For School Boys The 1915-16 term of the high schools and colleges was noted for the falling off of attendance. This was caused by hard times and low price of the farmers' products. The idea was conceived by the officers of the National League to help these boys in some way. The opportunity of doing so presented itself in the state of Connecticut. The tobacco growers were solely in need of helpers to harvest their great tobacco crop. Those they depended upon being foreigners, many left for their homes on account of the war, others having secured better paying positions. The league officers arranged with these growers to supply the employees, having in mind the betterment of the school and college boys in order that they may secure sufficient money to assist them during the term. National headquarters got in touch with us on the subject. We were visited by Director Jones and Mr. Collins of the home office. The matter was thoroughly explained to us and same was entered into with zest. It resulted in the sending off of about 257 of our boys to Connecticut. The boys were well cured for, the work was not hard, the hours reasonable and surroundings comfortable and cheerful. Many of these boys were able to save in the few weeks they were employed, from $60 to $125 clear of expenses. As in everything there were a few trifling ones who were not con- have returned and are giving glowing accounts of their trip and work. The local management of this affair was in the hands of our Mr. James H. Butler, and how earnest and efficiently he labored to make the movement a success is well known by all of us. This was done without remuneration and simply for the interest he has in the work of the league and ambition to help our boys. This league and community, owe him a dept of gratitude for his unselfish work. It may be well for mention to be made of the uncalled for arrest made for alleged violation of the immigration laws of the state. Upon investigation it was found that we were within our rights and that the officers transcended their duty. Old Folks' Outing. In August the annual outing of the old folks was held at Cattle Park, under the auspices of the Adult Committee and Sunshine workers. This was one of the best outings given the old mothers and fathers, and the number in attendance was twice as many as heretofore. Everything for their comfort and pleasure was arranged. Their appreciation was shown in their songs and prayers. If the Urban League has done nothing else than giving these old folks an outing, it has accomplished much. The ladies who worked so hard for the success of this cutting are to be commended. Girl's Club The work of the Girls' Club Committee has been satisfactory. An organization in Yamacraw, one on the west side, one at Swangin School and the Fast side, each did commendable work. The display of needle work of several of them elicited commendation from the knowing ones. The girls were given an outing at Cattle Park, and spent a happy day at that pleasant resort. This committee, especially its chairman, deserves the hearty praise of the league. Boys' Club This committee has had much activity during the year. The successful School Children's Races have already been mentioned. During the winter season each week, meetings were held with the boys. They gave an excellent account of themselves during the races and foot-fall season. They were connected with the local baseball league. While they were not among the leaders, yet proved their mettle by sticking to the last. The work of this committee is especially commendable. Juvenile Farm The league takes to itself pardonable pride for the work at the Juvenile Farm. While it is directly under the supervision of the county authorities, yet we feel responsible for its moral tone. Its matron is one of our most earnest workers, and is unselfishly interested in the well-fare of the boys who are devotion, itself, to her. We have assisted in making happy the boys on two occasions. Public Meeting Through the kindness of the management of the Pekin Theatre we were allowed the free use of it for our public meeting. It was a grand success. The theatre was crowded and the work of the league well presented. Another one this season will be planned Work at Headquarters! It has been our ambition to conduct some permanent phase of our social service work at our headquarters, but inability to secure full control of the one floor prevents this being done. This is regretted very much but under the circumstances it cannot be helped. New Work During the year, aside from the other activities, a playground was established. The playground committee after consulting with the city authorities, found that they were not inclined to do anything for our children in that line durfing the year. The great need of the playground was very apparent. The committee was anxious to establish two, one on the East and West sides. Through the kindness of Mr. I. D. LaRoach, the grounds on Huntingdon, near Price street, were allowed to be used for that purpose until needed. The same was fitted un, and hundreds of little ones were made happy by its inauguration. Miss Helen Lee, a very capable young lady, has been selected as play director and has proven efficient in her work. Efforts were made to secure a location on the West side. This proved very difficult. No available site could be secured unless a large sum was paid for renting same. Efforts are still being made to secure a site, in which other members are asked to join. This committee will again wait on the city authorities and endeavor to get them to take over the work on the East side and establish one on the West side. Another very commendable work begun under the auspices of the league was the social service center in Yamacraw, located on Joachim street, between Lumber and West Boundary streets. This was begun under the direction of Misses Cornelia McDow small building is being used. It has been fitted up with heuches from headquarters. An organ, oil stove, organ stool and pictures have been donated. The work was inaugurated by the presence of 21 children, and very unusual, 19 of them were boys. It has already outgrown its present shelter. The interest of the entire membership of the league is asked for the work. We see in it great things that can be accompli-bed for, our people in that neglected community. With hearty cooperation a larger house could be secured where real community work can be carried on which would result in the establishment of a day nursery, a recreation center, a place for the gathering of the mothers and fathers in order that they may receive helpful talks on subjects relative to the home, rearing of children, right living, etc. In inaugurating this work these young ladies have laid a foundation that will be of untold good if it be visibly built upon. The service of a director has been secured, thus insuring more practical and tangible results. The league is indeed fortunate in securing the services of one who is so capable and well experienced, and also who understands local conditions so well. With hearty co-operation we feel that the further upward trend of the league is assured. Needs One of the greatest needs of the league is for more faithful and loyal workers. There is so much for real earnest and unselfish workers to do. We are calling for volunteers whose lives will be sweetened by doing something for others: The most, substantial need of the league is the sum of $1,500 in order to carry on the league's work during the year. Considering the great good done by the league this is but a small sum for a city as large as Savannah. If each member of the league would pledge to give a liberal sum, and get at least a half dozen friends to do likewise, more than the sum needed can be easily raised. May not each one of us enter into this effort with zest and an eye single to raise the amount at an early date? Recommendations That we have a community Christmas tree at the playgrounds, and a committee be appointed to arrange the same. That an appeal be made to the County Commissioners to erect a building for delinquent girls, similar to that of the boys, near the poor farm. That plans be adopted whereby more tangible work be done by the Big Brother Committee. That there be more activity of the civic committee. That the leaders of the several districts be permanently organized for effective service during the year. That cottage meetings under the auspices of the Adult Committee be held regularly in the neglected districts. That a live committee be appointed to inaugurate a campaign for the Christmas and Charity Fund, and that same be done at once, and that members of the league who are connected with lodges, clubs and societies bend their energies in reaching each one of them in order that a liberal donation be requested. Conclusion The accomplishments of the league have been made effective by its members who have ever been loyal, faithful and unselfish. These have done greater service than they least realize. And to the members we extend our hearty appreciation for the causing of the continuous growth of this benign institution. We especially appreciate the hearty support and advice given us during our administration of affairs, and which would have been a failure completely, were it not for that fact. We pray for a continuation of this loyal, faithful and unselfish service on the part of each member of the league, thus insuring tangible results.

Broad THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE REJECT DIVISION ON RACIAL LINES "Both Unchristian and Uncatholic" Minority Report Adopted St. Louis, Oct., 19—Rejection by the House of Bishops of a proposal to divide the Episcopal Church along racial lines and clash between militarists and pacifists in a debate on prayer in the House of Deputies were outstanding features to-day of the general convention here of the Protestant Episcopal church. The House of Deputies concurred in the Upper House's action in refusing to provide Negro dioceses under the supervision of Negro bishops. The majority of the commission on racial episcopate recommended that the church be divided along racial lines, but a minority report said that such a division was "both unChristian and uncatholic." The minority report was adpted. The House of Bishops also amended the minority report providing for favoring the appointment of Negro suffragan bishops to give Negro suffragan a temporary right of succession to the diocesan bishopric, with a voice in the House of Bishops. This amendment probably will cause discussion in the House of Deputies, for if adopted it may result in a Negro bishop temporarily presiding over a white diocese. You desire a home, everyone does.

As the festival season approaches let us not forget our duty to Masonry and to our people and needy brothers. "For the good of Freemasonry should have large share in the conduct of every member of the fraternity. Each of them should constantly promote good will, peace and harmony. "It is not the intention," says the Grand Master, "to relieve the lodge of the duty of caring for those of their membership who are in need of assistance, but only to assist the lodge which is unable to carry the entire burden by itself, in which event any appropriation made by it will be supplemented by the trustees, as provided for in the resolution of Grand Lodge." The circular issued states further that before appeals for assistance can be sent out through the Grand Lodge, "there must be a showing made that the lodge has at least done its duty by the brother by contributing to his wants, to the extent of its ability, not by merely making an appropriation out of the lodge funds, but by going down in their own pockets." In the absence of such showing the Grand Master will not approve of aid being asked from other lodges.—Tyler. --- The more lapse of years is not life; knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence.—Marcus Aurelius. --- The best thing in this world can be defined only by a description of their results.

The Spirit of Masonry Here is a gem plucked from the Los Angeles Times' editorial welcome to the Shriners attending the Imperial Council: "In the beginning, when the morning stars sang together, the spirit of Masonry came with man upon the earth. A new and swinging world, plucked out of the stillly and starless unknown, her brooks filtrated from the mists of chaotic waters, her fields' unblown, her --- All Delinquent Subscribers to The Tribune will be Cut Off by November 1st, unless their Subscriptions are paid up.

Suns unshorn of a virgin beam, and moons propelled along unplowed paths, and stars yet untaught in sentinel duty, over all this songless world shone ever. It was but a dewdrop hanging from the finger of he Great Author. And yet it was a world set apart for the use of mortal man and dedicated in the presence of angels to the universal brotherhood. "Masonry never brought evil to mankind. Its organization still retains the master idea of the ages. It has ever been a stronghold of rectitude and justice, catching glints (even through the quagmires of the superstitions of heathen nations, or the jungles of obscure faiths) of that celestial light which must endure forever." The Mission of Masonry If to increase the happiness and to mitigate the sorrows of mankind, to shield and protect the weak and helpless, are among the objects of creation, then we have, to some extent at least, fulfilled the object of our Creator. As long as there is misery and suffering in the world, as long as the widow's moan and the orphan's cry are heard in the land, so long will Masonry have a mission to fulfill. It has been said that man's greatest victory was the mastery of himself. The potency of this statement is evidenced on almost every page of history. To conquer one's own passions, prejudices and selfishness is of greater importance than to overcome armies and navies. Alexander, the intrepid son of the Macedonian king, was a moral coward and weakling because he could not overcome his own passions and selfish desires. The same may be said of Napoleon and many others whom the world has called heroes. Like a beautiful stream rippling over the rocks and crags and pebbles of its channel. Masonry flows by every door, singing ever and anon the same sweet songs of untiring love, gladdening all hearts, while along its course spring fresh and fragrant flowers of beauty, innocence and truth to adorn its life and lend a lasting perfume to its work of faith, its labor of love.

Masonry a Part of Life In Masonry we find the most splendid of all philosophies of life and morals, the concentrated wisdom of all generations of men who have lived and suffered and labored, and tonight rest in dreamless sleep in quiet cities of the dead.

COVINGTON, KY. The Hardest Lesson It seems strang that the hardest lesson which Masons have to learn is the lesson of tolerance, of that charity that "suffereth long and is kind," and is the chief boast of our institution. That is the one virtue that justifies its existence. The moralities that occupy so large a place in our lectures are our only by adoption. They are in no sense original, and every neophyte is required to possess them before he can be admitted to our band. We teach nothing that is new or exclusive. We simply give to our members an opportunity to associate themselves with men of moral character and lofty purpose, and by constantly reminding them of the highest ideals of life and service strive to keep them keyed up to a high standard of principle and conduct. But with all our preaching and posing we are constantly in danger of offending against the cardinal principles of our profession, the brotherly love that overlooks trifling faults and errors, that gives our brother credit for pure motives and honest intentions, that strives to lift him up rather than throw him down.—Masonic Standard.

FAIRBANKS Of Indiana Saturday October 28th, 1916 One week from next Tuesday will be the mighty battle of ballots to decide the fate of Hughes and Wilson. The prediction is that Mr. Hughes will be the winner. For defending himself from a mob of men who came to whip him, a wealthy colored man was lynched in South Carolina. In future colored men, matters not how innocent, must stand supinely by with folded arms and take their punishment like a little lamb. Judge James H. Blunt, son of former Congressman Blunt, of this state, and who is a staunch Democrat, says: "I am opposed to Mr. Wilson's re-election because he has degraded the value of American citizenship to Americans throughout the world and earned for us the contempt of all nations by giving them reasonable ground to believe that they can do anything they please to us or our women or our children as long as we are not interrupted in the making of money or subjected to the inconvenience of fighting. I have not ceased to be a Democrat, but I place national honors above party politics." It is indeed difficult to believe that the statement accredited the recorder in a daily paper last week in which he is reported to have said in a liquor case on trial before him that he would always take a white man's word in preference to a Negro's is true. If so, then there is absolutely no need of Negroes testifying before him in a case where a white man is on trial. In event that the newspaper reporter is correct, does it not mean that a white man can sell as much liquor as he pleases to a Negro and there will be no conviction in the police court? statements of this nature are by no means conducive to the best interests of the community but have a tendency to encourage crime and lawlessness. The lynching of a wealthy Negro in South Carolina last week, because he had courage enough to assert himself adds another chapter to the long and growing number of persecutions, abuse and ill treatment which we are receiving throughout the Southland. Crawford, the man whose life was ruthlessly taken by the mob, had not been accused of any serious crime, his offence being simply asserting his rights to a white merchant who, becoming offended at such a courageous act by a Negro, reported the fact to his friends who, in turn, went to Crawford's home to reprimand him for his insolence. He was rescued by the sheriff and placed in jail where a mob of two hundred or more secured him, and in defending himself he struck one of the white men with a hammer. The mob set upon him, strung him to a tree and riddled his body with bullets. The lynching of Crawford is but one of a score or more such crimes that have occurred in the South within recent months and differs from the others only in that the victim was a man of wealth, a thrifty farmer and one of courage. He was of the exceptional class, but regardless of his financial and moral standing in the community, his fate was the same as is accorded even the vilest criminal in the rural districts of the South, if his skin happens to be black. And yet, the reason for such an exodus of our people to the North, as has taken place during the past three months is wondered at! The lynching of Crawford emphasises in a most forgeful manner that mob law is so rampant throughout the South that no Negro's life is safe, regardless of the success to which he has attained in his humble pursuit or the manner in which he carries himself. Crawford has paid the price which has been so often exacted of Negroes in the South for a show of manhood and which is forcing thousands of us to other fields where conditions are more conducive to our welfare. Some time ago the New York World, Wilson's chief press organ, believing that conditions in Mexico were not as black as painted, sent a correspondent down there, incognito, to get inside information on the real status of affairs. The World expected to get a report which would put a halo on St. Woodrow. But the World correspondent told the truth, and the story was so terrible that the World burried it in its advertising section. The New York Journal exhumed it and presented it to the public together with some pugent editorial comment thereon. It is reported that the World censor has choked off its correspondent and will run no more of his articles. And the World boasts of its fearless stand for truth. At a dinner given by the Hughes Club of Washington, D. C., recently, Simon Wolf, one of Washington's most substantial citizens said: "It would have been well for the present administration to have profited by the policy pursued by James G. Blaine as secretary of state in the Garfield administration. Mr. Blaine sent this message to our minister at Mexico City: 'Read this to the minister of foreign affairs: Outrages on American citizens must stop, not next week, but now. And if they do not, the entire power of this government will be brought to bear to stop them.'" The outrages stopped. To-day, under Wilson's policy they continue. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT President Wilson is a former president of Princeton College. The following dispatch shows how popular he is at that institution: "Princeton, N. J.. Wednesday—Charles E. Hughes, for President was the choice over President Wilson in a straw vote taken by the Daily Princetonian among the students of Princeton University today. Mr. Hughes polled a majority of 138 votes." THE NEGRO EXODUS "The enormous demand for labor and the changing conditions brought about by the boll weevil in certain parts of the South have caused an exodus of Negroes which may be serious. Great colonies of Negroes have gone North to work in factories, in the packing houses and on the railroads. "The South needs every able bodied Negro that is now south of the line, and every Negro who remains south of the line will in the end do better than he will do in the north. The Negro has been a tremendous factor in the development of agriculture and all the commerce of the South. But in the meantime, if we are to keep him here and we are to have the best use of his business capacity, there is a certain duty that the white man himself must discharge in his relation to the Negro. "The business of lynching Negroes is bad, and we believe that it is declining, but the worst thing is that often the wrong Negro is lynched. The Negro should be protected in all of his legal rights. Further, in some communities some white people make money at the expense of the Negro's lack of intelligence. Unfair dealing with the Negro is not a custom in the South. It is not the rule, but here and there the taking of enormous profits from the labor of the Negro is known to exist."—Memphis. Tenn., Commercial Appeal. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT, S. C. Mrs. Selena Flurnoy, who has been confined to bed for the past six weeks left the city this week for Allendale, S. C., where she hopes to regain her health. The doctor recommended a change of climate. Mr. Ben Smith died at his home on Prince street Tuesday morning of last week after an illness of more than two months.

BETH EDEN CHURCH MAKING GREAT EFFORT The members of Beth Eden Baptist Church are making a herculean effort to raise the balance due on the mortgage on their church. In this effort they should meet the liberal response of the public. This church was organized by the lamented Dr. Ellis, and its edifice is one of the prettiest in the city and has a faithful set of members. There was an original mortgage of about $7,000 on the church, with the interest amounted to a neat sum. The entire amount has been reduced to $1,785. A large part of the original sum was raised during the pastorate of Rev Clarke the present pastor, who has given a most acceptable administration, and enjoys the love and esteem of his members and the public. A campaign is on foot to raise the balance by the latter part of the year, and for which the members are working. The Tribune commends this effort and hope that the public will respond liberally. The Rev. Clarke submits the following to the public: "This is to certify that we have been for many years with a heavy indebtedness, which, with a small membership, we have been able to reduce to $1.785.00, that this amount we are trying to raise by the end of this year in order to entirely free our church from debt; that the pastor will celebrate his fourth anniversary of his pastorate on the first Sunday in next month, by which time it is earnestly hoped that the members and friends of the church will have subscribed this amount to be paid about the end of December. "I therefore, take great interest in commending the properly authorized solicitors, representing the Alex. Ellis Circle and the Beth Eden Golden Reapers of this church and well wishers, both white and colored, who may be approached for subscriptions, whether large or small." CARD OF THANKS The family of the late Geo. R. Myers wishes to extend their thanks to the many friends who were so kind in their expressions of sympathy and appreciation during their recent sad bereavement.

HART Manufacturer Negro Business Should Advertise MUST LET THE PEOPLE KNOW OF THEIR BUSINESS (by J. C. Lindsay) One of the grave charges preferred against the average business man, is his lack of knowledge of the permanent returns which well-worded advertisements bring to one's business, when put into a well circulated popular newspaper, such as two or three of the cities of Georgia can boast. The white business man has long since learned the important lesson of keeping what he has for sale before the people, whom he wishes to make his permanent customers, in some one, and in a good many cases, into several of the big metropolitan dailies, which ads, as all well known, come very high indeed. But not so, with a goodly number of our so-called business men, who have thought it to be to their material interest to adopt the hook worm methods. Every business man in this community, be he white or black, who has made a success of the business which he may chance to represent or manage, knows of the material benefits and blessings which have come to that business, thru well-worded ads. Perhaps, the best advertised business in this country, operated by our people, is the industrial insurance business. Every policy pouch, every premium receipt book, every slick blank, every policy contract, and in fact, every piece of paper which goes out of the office, whether it be the main, or any one of the local offices, that piece of paper tells its story of the benefits and blessings to be derived by taking insurance into the company which sent that piece of paper out on its mission. In other words, this medium of advertising is talking for its company, while the agents of the company are asleep. One of our local banking institutions which has learned the importance of keeping the good being done by it prominently before the people, is being called upon constantly to give some idea and advice to other cities and communities, as to the best plan and method of organizing and conducting a similar business, modeled after this pioneer Negro banking emporium. The Negro business men of the hustling little city of Waycross, Ga., after reading about what the Wage Earners Savings bank had been able to accomplish for the race in about sixteen years, sent men to this city to confer with the officials of this pioneer Negro bank, and to get ideas, advice and plans, in order to organize one similar and to model it in detail after this Negro banking institution in which they have so much confidence. This delegation returned to their city with the plans and ideas furnished them by President Williams, of the Wage Earners Savings bank, and they immediately called their men together who do things in that progressive little city, and they began to organize and to place their stock on the market, and today they have on deposit in the Wage Earners Savings bank, this city, a large amount of hard cash to their credit, ready to be placed into their own bank when other minor details have been properly and systematically worked out. Not only is this true concerning the Waycross people, but President Williams of the Wage Farmers bank, just showed the write a letter from the Negro business men of Columbia, S. C., asking for plans and details of how to organize and operate successfully a Negro savings bank in the capitol of the Palmetto state, which advice has been cheerfully furnished by President Williams, who stands ready and is willing, tho a busy man, to go over and render whatever assistance necessary in the organization of a Negro savings bank in the good of New Orleans. He says that the Negroes here seem to be alert to the opportunities at hand for putting their businesses before the people. The writer has now a letter before him from Mr. J. L. Murchison, an old Savannah boy, who has been away from home nearly twenty-years, engaged as chief diver on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, with headquarters at New Orleans, La. During all these years Mr. Murchison has spent away from his native city he has had the Savannah Tribune to follow him wherever he has gone. Mr. Murchison writes and commends the work being done by our local Negro Business League, and informs us in the mean time that he is president of the local Negro business league of the city of New Orleans. Mr. Murchison also tells us of the favorable impression which our local business men, and the various interests in which many of them are represented, made on the preachers and delegates who attended the National Baptist convention which met here in September. Our only for taking the course which we have seen fit to take in our weekly Negro business letter at this time, is to call the attention of our local, business men to the importance of keen ing their businesses well advertised in some clean well-circulated Negro newspaper. Your next meeting will be held at headquarters, Wednesday evening, November 1st. Come early and bring a friend with you and be sure to throw that little batchet away before you hurt yourself with it. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL (Continued from Page One) For dismissal by Assistant Supt. Rosecoe Conklin Bruce shortly after the pronunciation of Commissioner Harris. The First Separate Battalion, District National 'Guard, has been mustered out of the federal army. "The colored troops fought nobly." Messrs S. L. McLaurin, of the Department of Agriculture, and Carlisle Johnson of the Treasury Department, have recently purchased handsome five-passenger automobiles. Dr. R. R. Moton will be the houseguest of Mr. Henry Lassiter, and Mr. Emmett J. Scott will be quartered with Dr. A. M. Curtis, when they come here to speak on the 21st. Several social functions are being planned in their honor, notably a dinner at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lassiter and a luncheon by the Hampton Alumni Association at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. D. Lee. . . . It is regretted in many quarters that Dr. Jasper Tappan Phillips, Nashville's resourceful young leader, could not return to the city, following his visit to New York and other eastern points. Dr. Phillips is a young man of delightful personality and made a pleasing impression everywhere he came in contact with the people. He is the son of Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. church and was once a resident of Washington when his father pastored the historic Israel C. M. E. Church. A "Booker T. Memorial Song" entitled "Memories Are Calling Me," has made its appearance in this city and is already winning favor in musical circles. The song is being issued from the publishing house of the Turkes and Arbuckle Company, and is offered for a limited period for twenty-five cents a copy. The story of "Memories Are Calling Me" is taken from life. When the late educator learned he could not recover, and that the end was but a few hours off, he expressed a desire to be taken home, where he might pass the last moments amid the scenes he had lived and labored for so many years. With this thought in mind Mrs. Frances Pool Shaw wrote the song, and Mr. Eugene Alexander Burke set the words to music. The song is tuneful and pathetic, and instantly sprung into popularity everywhere it was heard. The publishers decided to put out a memorial issue, and the title page carries a striking likeness of Dr. Washington. Program makers for the coming memorial exercises have announced their intention of including it among the musical numbers to be used. It is highly appropriate. A Saturday half-holiday the year round seems to be assured the government workers. Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo and 5 other cabinet officers have approved the plan and the other three are expected to vote "aye" as soon as they can properly examine the matter. The government will lose nothing by the concession, which is in keeping with the demands of the hour. ♦ ♦ ♦ The citizens of the District are planning a public reception in honor of the first Separate Battalion. District National Guard, which has just returned from the Mexican border, under Major J. E. Walker. . . . Capt. Arthur C. Newman, of the District National Guard, made his first public appearance Monday night at the Howard theatre, following his return from the border. He was given a genuine ovation as he walked down the isle to take his seat. Capt. Newman, when mustered out of the federal service, will resume his post as principal of the Armstrong Manual Training school. --- Rev. J. Anderson Taylor, one of the oldest ministers of the Baptist faith in the District, died on the 6th and was buried on the following Tuesday. His body laid in state at the Trinity Baptist Church, of which he was pastor for a day and was then taken to the Vermont Avenue Baptist church, a larger auditorium, for the funeral. For many years Dr. Taylor was pastor of the Shiloh Baptist Church of this city. He was a native of Virginia, and THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE Rev. J. E. Wood, editor of the Torch Light, Danville, Ky, National Grand Chief of the Good Samaritans, was in the city recently, mingling with friends and seeing a number of the magnates who run things political and otherwise. His daughter has matriculated at Howard University. Miss Nannie H. Burroughs, the energetic head of the National Training School for Women and Girls, Lincoln Heights, D. C., continues to stand pat on her rights—and is working like a Trojan in the meantime. Her show of strength with the nation at the recent testimonial, when the best men and women of the country indicated that they were with her, has put the erstwhile enemy to rout. The wing of the National Baptist convention which tried to seize her life's work at Savannah has placed her in the "too hot to handle" column and concluded to let her alone. Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education has written a letter to Mr. Charles M. Thomas of the Minor Normal School, warmly praising the addresses and papers presented recently by Mr. Thomas before the teachers assemblies, research clubs and literary societies. The Farm Loan Board is up against the inveritable race problem. To derive the proper benefits from the new system of rural credits, it is necessary to form local associations of farmers. In the South the white farmers are insisting that the Negro farmers organize separate associations. It is said that the Farm Loan Board in considering a plan whereby this can be done, so that all may share equitably and harmoniously in the benefits of the new law designated by Congress to aid the hardworking tillers of the soil. --- Friends of Tuskegee Institute in Washington and elsewhere have received invitations to attend an "at home" given by Mr. and Mrs. Emmett J. Scott at their beautiful residence at Tuskegee Institute, in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Robert Russia McDon. The function which will be highly enjoyable and imposing, was designed to present the new principal and this charming wife to the family of the Institute in a social way.' Justice and Mrs. Robert Heberton Terrell have issued cards requesting the honor of the presence of their friends to the twenty-fifth anniversary of their marriage. Saturday evening, October 28, at their beautiful home, 1323 T street, northwest. The abolition of "Rule 45" which required female teachers to resign upon marriage, is not causing any of the hardships predicted by those who thought that the breaking down of the old law would ruin the chances of the graduates from the Normal school. It will be found at the end of the coming year that about as many graduates as usual will be appointed. Some teachers will continue after marriage. Most of them will not. The new woman is man's business partner—not hisward or dependent. "The Lure" is being given this week at the Howard in attracti e fashion. Andrew V. Bishop and others are seen in congenial roles. Miss Marie Lucas, the gifted musical directress of the Lafayette Theatre, N Y., spent the week here rehearsing the chorus and musical numbers of "15 Minutes from Broadway which is to be presented in New York Next week, with Washington to follow week of November 6. JACK JOHNSON FINDS FREEDOM IN SPAIN Has a Cafe in Barcelona, and is Doing Fine-Is Highly Pleased With the Country Jack Johnson is never coming back. He has settled down in Barcelona, Spain, and is going to stay there. He has just written a friend in this country, which bears a few interesting sentences about himself, and they are as follows: "The people of this country," writes Jack, "are broad-minded. They don't think that because a man's skin is black he should be persecuted and forced to get off the earth. "I'm not broke, as some of the American papers say I am, nor am I any where near broke. I'll have money when some of those mean persons who have made things so hard and unpleasant for me will be asking the sporting people to give them benefits. "My cafe is the most elegant in Barcelona, and some of the best citizens are my patrons. I wouldn't trade it for the best cafe in New York, Chicago or San Francisco. "I am glad to hear that Jess Willard is doing well. He is lucky to have a white skin. If he were black, the American people would be treating him just as unfairly as they did me". —Mmsterdam News. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson V.—Fourth Quarter, For Oct.29,1916. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Acts xxvii, 13-26. Memory Verses, 22-24—Golden Text, Ps. xxxvii, 5—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. Now Paul is off to Rome and has been delivered from his enemies in Jerusalem who so persistently sought his life. But the devil is sometimes permitted to rage on the sea as well as on the land, and Paul has more troubles ahead, but we shall see God glorified in all. Then there are so many "handfuls of purpose" to cheer us along the way (Ruth 11, 16) and lighten our journey. I hope he enjoyed the sea voyages, for to me they are so restful, and even storms are magnificently grand if one can keep a quiet mind and body. He had at least one good companion with whom he could have good fellowship on the voyage, Artistarchus of Thessalonica, who was afterward a fellow prisoner with him at Rome (verse 2 and Col. iv, 10). At Sidon, where the ship called, Paul was given liberty to go to his friends and refresh himself (verse 3), and this must have been a good handful and much appreciated. They changed ships at Myra, in Lyca, some distance southeast of Ephesus, where they found a ship from Alexandria bound for Italy. They reached Crete safely, but, not giving heed to Paul's advice to winter there and thinking that they had a favorable wind, they set sail. I shall never forget one of the most enjoyable sea trips of my life from Port Said, in Egypt, to Brindisi, in Italy, in 1897. After some months of tropical heat in China and India and the sail up the Red sea, which the captain thought must have been called Red because it was red hot. I thought I never had anything quite so enjoyable as that sail. My diary for Sept. 15, 1897, says, "Sighted Crete about noon and kept along the southwest coast till night." I was then writing notes on the Sunday school lessons just as I am today and have been doing in the summer months ever since 1887. How great have been my privileges! To Him be all the glory. Parlon this digression and give Paul and Crete the credit of it. The tempestuous wind and the being exceedingly tossed (verses 14, 18, 20) did not come my way on the Mediterranean, but I have known something of it on other seas and been kept in peace. This was certainly a great storm that this ship fell into, for neither sun nor stars were seen for many days, and all hope of surviving the storm was given up (verse 20). We think of the works of the Lord and His wonders in the deep and of people at their wits' end and how He can make the storm a calm or in some other way deliver (Ps. cili. 23-30). After many days and nights of this great storm Paul had a visitor from heaven, an angel of God, either the Lord Himself, as in xxili. 11, or one of His faithful messengers, as in xil. 7-10, with a word of good cheer for him and for all on board. Oh, these wonderful angels who excel in strength, who delight to do His bidding, who can run and return like lightning! (Ps. cili. 20, 21; Dzek. 1, 14). They have no fear and seem to have all power. Just think of this one finding this ship in the midst of this great storm and the one man on board of all the 270 whom he specially wanted (verse 37). It should comfort us to know that such friends as these are ever ministering unto us (Heb. 1, 14). The next day after this visit of the angel Paul was able to comfort all on board. How much even one person may do to help others if he is in touch with God Paul was able to assure them that there would be no loss of life, not a hair of their heads harmed, and to encourage them to eat something, for they had eaten little or nothing for fourteen days (verses 22, 33-36). He took bread and gave thanks to God in the presence of them all and began to eat. Then they all did eat and were of good cheer. Note Paul's message concerning the angel visitor, "The angel of God, whose I am and whom I serve" (verse 23), and may the last seven words be ours always from the heart. He certainly believed for himself what he wrote to the Corinthians, "Ye are not your own, for ye are bought with a price" (I Cor. v1, 19, 20). If ever a man lived it out he did; and, knowing what it meant to serve the Lord with all humility of mind, he could urge others to serve the Living and True God (Acts xx, 19; I Thess. 1.9). Then his words of strength and cheer to all these people were so grand, with every prospect, humanly speaking, of going down with the ship, and no reason for thinking otherwise but the message of the angel, he said so boldly, "Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer, for I believe God that it shall be even as it was told me" (verse 25). And so it came to pass, and they escaped all safe to land (verse 44). We think of Abraham, who considered not himself nor Sarah, but was fully persuaded that what God had promised He was able to perform (Rom. iv, 19-21). For twenty-one years the motto of my little monthly, Kingdom Tidings, has been "Abraham believed God * * * I believe God," and, though the contrast between these two men of God and the work represented by this little monthly is very great, yet the principle is the same, and the words have been a great help to me.

BEACH INSTITUTE NEWS The three upper classes in Beach have so increased their numbers that this year every seat in the main room is filled. The class of 1916 boasts of thirteen members who are strong supporters of woman suffrage, for they are all girls. The unlucky number, perhaps, accounts for the fact that there are no boys in the class. The following officers have been chosen for the year: President, Irene Joyce; secretary, Bessie Durden; treasurer, Helen Watkins.—Hattie Jones, who was quite sick when school opened is once more at work with her class mates.—The eleventh grade, having but eight members, is one of the smallest classes in the school, they take, however, as their motto. "Quality and not quantity." James Hardwick is the one boy in this class. He has been absent for a couple of days because of illness, but it is hoped he will soon recover.—Miss Ethyl Hellemann, supervisor of music at Beach, is a graduate of the Sherwood School of music at Chicago. Ill. Besides her regular classes in singing and other subjects, she is giving nineteen piano lessons each week. Miss Hellemann is prepared to give a limited number of piano lessons to students not connected with the school.—The class regrets that Claude Newkirk did not return to the rank this year, but each member wishes him success wherever he may be in the north.—The tenth grade has started out the year with a strong force of nineteen girls and one boy. A few that were in the class last year have dropped out but others have filled their places.—Georgianna Shellman was taken sick about a week after school began and has not been able to return as yet.—Edith Wilson, class 1920 has been absent for the last three days on account of illness. aB KClaude-NewETAO1NNN INSTALLATION The Ladies and Gents' Soirce Club held its installation on last Tuesday night at the residence of Mrs. A.
