The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXII HEALTH WEEK GREAT SUCCESS PEOPLE AROUSED TO BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS Meetings Enthusiastic Closing Meeting of Observance Held Last Night The closing meeting of the local observance of National Negro Health Week was held at St. Phillips church last night. Prominent representatives of both races took part on the program. The note of harmony, community interest, unselfishness and enthusiasm which characterized the spirit of last night's meeting, and in fact, all the several activities of the campaign, made a new era in the history of co-operative effort among Negroes in Savannah. Only those in close touch with the studied efforts of the Health Week Committee can appreciate fully the valuable services which many of the busy business and professional men have made to make the campaign a success. The sermons last Sunday, the lectures in automobile tours by physicians and business men, the volunteer services of the physicians and nurses who staged the free clinic at Yamaecraw, as well as those who took part on the program of last evening, are deserving of highest praise. When men become conscious of these vital, internal, racial defects and instead of blaming everything on the other fellow and external circumstances, turn to correcting these defects and keep hammering away at these weaknesses, then we are making progress. No barrier can be raised against spirit and sacrifice like this. It is highly commendable that these uplifting movements are appealing to an ever-increasing number of our people and that those who are already interested are catching a larger vision of humanitarianism. We are having some fine examples in fusing our strength in a common cause, coordinating our forces in common endeavor, and we shall all reap a common successful end. Conspicuous among those who have contributed to the success of the week are representatives of the South Atlantic Medical Association, the Negro Business Men's League, The Public Schools, the Ministers' Union, the Sunshine Workers, the St. Cecilia club and the Health Committee of the Urban League, headed by Mr. D. J. Scott Mr. Geo. W. Jacobs will lease the city tomorrow for Laurinburg, N. C., where on Monday, April 30th, he will marry Miss Cora B. Carter. Miss Carter who is a native of Montgomery, Ala., is a graduate of Snow Hill Institute, Snow Hill, Ala., where she taught prior to going to Laurinsburg and is at present teaching at the latter place. Mr. Jacobs is engaged in real estate business here. SAVAGE—GIBSON MARRIAGE Mr. Thomas Edwards Savage and Mrs. L. Adams Gibson were married at Abyssinia parsonage, New ork, Monday April 2nd, by Rev. A. Clayton Powell. COLEMAN—MARTIN Mrs. Lydia Edmonia Coleman, daughter of Mrs. Sarah Carson, was married to Mr J. H. Martin of Augusta, formerly of Greensboro, Ala., on Wednesday night of last week. Miss Tommie Harris presided at the piano. To the strains of the Bride's Promenade, the bride entered the spacious parlors on the arm of Mr. W. H. Robinson, followed by her mother, Mrs. Sarah Carson, and was received by the groom who was brought in by the bride's sister, Mrs. A. E. Orner. Rev. N. M. Clarke of Beth Eden Baptist church performed the ceremony, CITY B. Y. P. U. TO MEET The regular quarterly meeting of the City R. Y. P. U. meets with Mt. Tabor Baptist church, Henry and East Broad streets, this Sunday afternoon April 29, at 3:30 p. m. A pleasing program is promised. FLORIDA BAPTIST COLLEGE CELEBRATES ANNIVERSARY Jacksonville, Fla., April 20.—The 25th anniversary of the Florida Baptist college was celebrated here today at the college chapel. The exercises commenced Wednesday and closed today with a lawn fete. Representative men and women were here from all parts of the state, to pay tribute to to the work started a quarter of a century ago by the fathers, most of them have died, but the children have taken it up, and under the leadership of Prof. N. W. Collier, a native of Augusta, Ga., has made it one of the greatest institutions in the country.

All who heard him complimented is as being his best effort. NEWS FROM BEAUFORT, S. C. One of the most beautiful home wedding seen in Beaufort for some time was that of Miss Emma Elizabeth Green to Mr. H. Great on Thursday evening April 19th at the home of the bride, 317 Green street, Rev. I. E. Lowery officiating. The home was beautifully decorated with flowers and potted plants, which gave the effect of early spring. Many handsome presents were given the bride and groom which showed their popularity. Mr. Frank Watehouse was in the city for a few days this week he is making good at his trade in Charleston as a baker. Cupid's arrow is still hitting the spot. Miss Dorothy Edith Sanders and Mr. Samuel J. Deveaux were married on Thursday evening the 20th at the home of the bride. Miss Sanders is the charming daughter of Rev. E. Sanders. Mr. Deveaux is a prominent merchant of Sheldon, S. C. Many of Beaufort's boys have answered the call to colors, among them being Mr. Macceo Jackson, Mr. Willie Cohen. Quite a number will leave this week also. Hon. J. I. Washington spent a few days in the capitol city. Miss Mamie T. Hamilton has returned to the city again after teaching a successful school term at Porter, S. C. The truck farmers of this section are making good.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY APRIL 28th, 1917 School Children's Races May 18th WILL BE BIGGER AND GREATER THAN EVER Several Scholls Already Begun To Train Boys The annual School Races will again be held at Athletic Park! This year on May 18th, immediately following the annual meeting of the State Medical Association. This news will bring joyous anticipation and gladness to thousands of merry school children and the many grown folks as well—for many of these make these annual occasions a time for general holiday and enjoyment. This year the races committee proposes to pull off, in connection with the races, the greatest patriotic demonstration that it is possible for colored people to stage anywhere. This is a timely suggestion, and can be carried out on this large scale because of the great crowds which the races bring together. The program. National patriotic airs led by brass bands, and singing by the thousands of spectators will be sung for the first time by so large a concourse of people. The occasion will be one to stlr the emotion of patriotism and national unity as nothing else could. Preceeding all, will be a mammoth parade of citizens in carriages and automobiles, the vehicles to reregaled in the national colors and emblemata of the various schools, fraternal and social organizations, etc. Many carriages and other horse-drawn vehicles will be pressed into service and following these will be the scores of automobiles owned by our people. The great procession, headed by the bands, will move through the centre of the city at noon of the day of the races, the races will come off at the usual hours; and the patriotic demonstration will follow about dusk, the exercises terminating in the great flagraising scene and the singing of America. The children are entitled to this day of jollity and merry-making. they have done well this year in several very important extra-school enterprises, yard-cleaning, paper-saving and cleanup campaigns. Parents and teachers will place us squarely on record before unity for exhibiting the athletic and patriotic prows of the children of this city. It will be a fine example to other cities and people outside, and it will place us squarely on record before the country as to our position in the preparedness policy of the government, now at war. The beautiful "Pageant of Nations," so well conceived and executed by the young ladies last spring, will be repeated more elaborately, and the matter of school colors and cheering will be made more of. The kindergarten and Sunday schools will have representation by groups, and the uniform ranks of the city will be asked to execute military maneuvers. All things considered, the committee has wide advantage over former years in its great opportunity for a varied program of events. It will be comparatively easy this year to make a most splendid showing. Committees, designated for particular duties will soon be assigned and the plans are expected to take final shape in a very short while. The people at large should enter most energetically and enthusiastically into this excellent annual institution and help it to derive the good results of which it is so capable. PARENT—TEACHERS' ASSO. The parent-teachers' association of Guyler Street school, met last Wednesday with Mrs. M. L. Ayers, presiding. Dr. Tyson delivered a lecture on contagious and infectious diseases which was very instructive and helpful at this time, as we have a number of cases of measles, and many have proven fatal. A rising vote of thanks was given the speaker. Miss Sallie C. Houstoun read an excellent paper on "Home." The flag goes to Miss Rebecca Houston's grade for having the largest number of parents present. A number of mothers have enrolled for a class in domestic science under Miss Cogman. The president spoke of the prizes given the school by white friends and asked that the children be encouraged to work for the same. Light refreshments were served by the young ladies of the domestic science class. Doctors Serve Poor Children THIRTY CHILDREN AT URBAN LEAGUE FREE CLINIC Many Physicians, Dentists and Several Nurses Take Part About forty children presented themselves for examination at Yamacraw Centre last Wednesday afternoon at the free medical and dental clinic held in connection with Health Week. Drs. Jamerson, Love, Harris, Parks, Middleton, E. J. Smith, Belcher, Misses Moore, Robertson, McDowell, Brown Deas and Mesdames Williams, Tolbert, Brown Deas, Washington and others rendered splendid service. The vigor and interest with which these splendid men and women went into this and the other meetings of health week. There seems to have been a general awakening among all the people of all classes, the helpers and the helped. It is the plan of the League, as advanced by its president, a year ago, to have this free clinic and consultation hour at Yamacraw Centre or League headquarters, once each week, in the interest of those unable to provide medical attention, and often too ignorant to know they need it. Along with other purposes, the League is deeply indebted to those taking part in the clinic for the excellent services which they rendered and, withal, so unselfishly. NEGRO RIDDLED WITH BULLETS Kissimmee, Fla.—Rey, S. C. Garner, a Baptist preacher, was found dead at his home March 2nd by some of the white people of Rosedale, a small town south of Kissimmee. Mr. Garner had tried to purchase a tract of land from some white people of Kissimmee. They told him it was not for sale. Afterwards some one told him it was for sale. Afterwards someone told him it was Government land. He planted and homesteaded 160 acres. He planted potatoes on some of the land and had as fine a crop as ever grew in Florida, and the property is said to be well worth five thousand dollars. On the 2nd of March he received a blackhand letter which advised him to leave his home within twenty-four hours. He carried the letter to the sheriff, who only told him to go back home and make himself contented. He took the faithful officer's advice and returned to his home. The next day he received another letter stating that if he was caught there that night he would be put to death. He also carried this letter to the same officer, who kindly "discharged his duty" the same as in the first case. The humble citizen accepted the honest advice of the officer and returned to his home with the idea that the advice given him by this officer of the law was evidence that he would be safe as any law abiding citizen of that community. This was on the 22nd; and on the 27th he was found by the buzzards with his body riddled with bullets. Rev. Patterson, presiding elder of the Orlando district, happened in town on that day and was asked by the white people to bury the dead man, which he did. He had to dig the grave, preach the funeral, and do everything by himself. Rev. Patterson told me the whole story on the train and asked me to have it published in The Bulletin, as Mr. Lewis refused to have it put in the Jacksonville paper. He also gave me a written statement of his own to be published, which follows: "Irv. S. J. Patterson, D. D., presiding elder of the Orlando District, A. M. E. church, on the 27th of March, nine miles south of Rosedale, I buried the decayed body of S. C. Garner formerly of Charleston, S. C., but late of Kissimmee, whose body was apparently shot with a gun. He homesteaded a valuable piece of property where no other Negroes lived. Was notified by note to "leave or be killed." Refusing to do so the above was the final outcome."—Tampa Bulletin. NEEDLE WORK GUILD TO MEET The colored division of the Savannah Branch of the Needlework Guild will hold a meeting at St. Philip A. M. E. church, Charles and West Broad street, Monday April 30 at 4 p'clock. "It is estimated that there was an average of thirty-five Negroes in each white regiment in the Revolutionary war. According to an official report there were in the army under General Washington's immediate command on the 24th of August, 1778, seven hundred and seventy-five Negroes. This does not appear to include the Negro troops furnished by Connecticut, New York, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. There were altogether about 3,000 Negro soldiers employed by the Americans. "Negro soldiers have served with distinction in every war that the United States has waged. Free Negroes and slaves were employed on both sides in the Revolutionary war. They were found in all branches of the patriot army. They generally served in the same regiments with the white soldiers. A Hessian officer under date of October 3, 1773, wrote 'the Negro can take the field instead of his master therefore no regiment is to be seen in which there are not Negroes in abundance.' Some of the most historic deeds of the War of Independence were performed by the black men. The first martyr in the Boston Massacre, March 5, 1770, was the Negro, Crispus Attucks. Samuel Lawrence a prominent white citizen of Gordon, Mass., led a company of Negroes at the Battle of Bunker Hill. It was the Negro, Peter Salem, who at the Battle of Bunker Hill fired the shot that mortally wounded Major Plitcairn. Solomon 'Poor, another Negro, so distinguished himself at the Battle of Bunker Hill that a petition was drawn up by some of the principal officers to secure his recognition by the Massachusetts Colony. The Black Legion, organized in 1779 in St. Domingo by Count D'Estaing, consisted of 800 young freedmen, blacks and mulattoes."—N. Y. B. In the War of 1842 Commodore Perry spoke highly of the bravery and good conduct of the Negroes who were under his command. Among other things he said, "they seemed to be absolutely insensible of danger." "Two battalions of 500 Negroes distinguished themselves at the Battle of New Orleans. Three months before the battle, General Andrew Jackson issued a proclamation in which he said: "As sons of freedom, you are now called upon to defend our most inestimable blessing. As Americans, your country looks with confidence to her adopted children for a valorous support, as a faithful return for the advantages enjoyed under her mild and equitable government. As fathers, husbands and brothers, you are summoned to rally around the standard of the Eagle, to defend all which is dear in existence. "To every noble-hearted, generous freeman of color volunteering to serve during the present contest with Great Britian, and no longer, there will be paid the same bounty, in money and lands, now received by the white soldiers of the United States, viz; one hundred and twenty-four dollars in money, and one hundred and sixty acres of land. The non-commissioned officers and private will also be entitled to the same monthly pay, and daily rations and clothes, furnished to any American soldier. "On the eve of the battle, General Jackson reviewed the white and colored troops and had read to them his famous address. To the colored troops he said: "To the Men of Color.—Soldiers! From the shores of Mobile I collected you to arms.—I invited you to share in the perilis and to divide the glory of your white countrymen. I expected much from you; for I was not uninformed of those qualities which must render you so formidable to an invading foe. I know that you could endue hunger and thirst, and all the hardships of war. I know that you loved the land of your nativity, and that, like ourselves, you had to defend all that is most dear to man. But you surpassed my hope. I have found in you, united to these qualities that noble enthusiasm which impels to great deeds. "Soldiers! The President of the United States shall be informed of your conduct on the present occasion; and the voice of the Representatives of the American nation shall applaud your valor, as your General now praises your ardor. The enemy is (Gentleman Rose Fight) NUMBER 34 LEAD IN CONTEST CHANGES TWICE MAPLE AND WEST BROAD TAKE TURNS IN FIRST PLACE Total 269,860 Pounds Next Week Likely to Bring About Another Change in Leadership The leadership in the waste paper contest between the four Negro public schools of the city is waxing close Almost each week sees a change in the honor position. Last week the leadership was lost by the West Broad to the Maple street school by the latter's collection of 13,584 pounds of paper on Friday of last week. However first place was only held by Maple for a few days, for by turning in 19,131 pounds Tuesday, West Broad regained the lead. It is very likely that next week will witness another change in leadership as the West Broad school has an additional collection on all the schools. The total of pounds collected by the four Negro schools up to yesterday was 269,860. In the ten white schools the total amount of paper collected is 186,177 pounds. The following shows the collections per school: Colored—April 27.

GREAT MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF EDUCATION Representative men and women from all parts of the state are expressing great interest in the conference to be held in the Pythian Temple, Macon, Ga., May 4th for the purpose of advancing the educational interest of Negroes in the state. Th Georgia Educational Association (white) will be in session in Macon at the same time, making it possible for all who wish to attend the educational conference for Negroes to secure reduced rates on all railroads. This seems a particularly opportune time for such a gathering and there is good reason to believe that the state school authorities will take some action to better the educational interests of Negroes if the matter is properly presented. Every one interested in the educational advancement of Negroes who can possibly do so should attend this meeting and lend a hand. Hon. P. P. Claxton, U. S. Commissioner of Education and Hon. M. L. Brittaini state superintendent of schools, are expected in Macon and have been invited to address the men and women gathered in the interest of Negro education.

PAGE TWO One-Piece Dresses Callfor SmartCoats One-Piece Dresses Callfor SmartCoats Youthful Sports Skirts and Summer Blouses Vie with the One-Piece Frock New York, April 20.—One-piece dresses have come to stay. In silk, satin, foulard, taffeta, pongee, Georgette crepe, chiffon, volle, crepe, in fact, running the entire gamut of materials, these dresses are spring favorites. Of course, this type of dress demands a separate coat, for even in summer there are times when a wrap is necessary. The velours, duvetyns and other piled fabrics were so popular for the winter that we have for spring similar fabrics only in a weight suitable for the weather. Lightweight velours in white, and color, gray and many brighter shades are particularly appealing for the separate coat. The model illustrated shows the latest effect in the spring coat. It is developed in sand-colored velours and has the smart barrel or dowling-pin effect © MCCALX Spring Coat in Bowlign-Pin Effect in its wideness at the hips accentuated by pocket sections. A wide, soft collar, and cuffs in gauntlet effect, are other features which aid in giving this model style. For automobiling, this coat might be successfully developed in one of the dust-proof satins, and will be practically stylish when loosened at luncheon or dinner at the hotel. Jersey cloth is a popular as ever and is to be seen in many elaborate as well as simple suits. Last season it continued itself to simple modes, but this season it has branched out into suits much more elaborate. It is braided and embroidered most elaborately. A taupe-colored wool jersey suit was braided with soutache braid of the same shade around the bottom of the coat, on the collar and on wide pocket-pieces on the skirt. Another suit was combined with striped satin which made the collar and the lining. The latter was a most important feature of the suit. The short bolero coat have returned to us after an interim of many years. Sometimes they are combined with straight, pleated, narrow skirts, giving a straight so-called Egyptian silhouette. Some of these skirts the designers have launched in opposition to the bowling-pin silhouette. In the illustration the short jacket has been combined with a six-gored box-pleated skirt. The new sports clothes show a youthful note, and get embody that simplicity which is required to make gay colors practical for every-day wear. The skirts, gathered or shirred at the waistline, sometimes straight hanging, and sometimes brought in at the ankles to give the new barrel effect, are made of a wide variety of materials. Tussur, rajah, pongee and similar weaves are the mainstay for the more expensive skirts, while cotton fabrics, in white with gay squares, discs, balloon dots, and in striped effects, may be had at varying prices. Cretonne which has had such a vogue for smocks and trimmings in seasons past is pressed into use again this season for these same sport skirts. They are often made crosswise of the goods so that the selvage of the cretonne is used instead of a hem, and the other selvage edge makes a heading around the waist. It seems to make little difference what the type of cretonne is, whether it has a Paisley design or a willowware pattern. The very newest thing for sports skirts, but not the least expensive, are the skirts made of ribbon. Wide ribbon is sewed together, selvage to selvage, until the width of the skirt is obtained. They are gray and joyous in effect, especially when combined with the sheerest of summer blouses. The Trend of Summer Blouses Never has there been a greater variety of styles for separate blouses than there is this season. It makes very little difference what type of waist you like best; if the sleeves have the proper look and the collar is well designed you may be able to wear it. The Russian and peplum effects, in Georgette, chiffon, crepe de Chine and satin are having a wonderful vogue, but so are the waists which come only to the waist and tuck themselves modestly beneath the skirt band. A very new mode of trimming waists of crepe de Chine is to have collar, cuffs and belt not of a contrasting but of the same colored linen. Organdy waists are being combined with silk and satin overblouses. A novelty in waists, and one which is most practical as well, is the blouse of fine gingham for sports. McCALL The New Bolera Jacket with Box Pleated Skirt The New Bolera Jacket with Box Pleated Skirt Blouses of this type are made up in stripes and checks which reminds one of children's rompers and play frocks. Sometimes they are combined with with white pique. I saw a very pretty pink one recently which had a white pique vest with the front of the waist cut in scallops and stitched onto the vest. Stitching is a most popular mode of trimming at the present time. It is used on women's suits and coats, on dresses and on skirts. On wool materials it is done with a coarse knitting silk, put either on the bobbin or the upper part of the machine; on cotton materials it is done with mercerized cotton in the same way. Children's clothes are trimmed with stitching in varied colors; for instance, a blue serge coat had stitching of red and green silk. A very pretty buff chambry dress had parallel rows of stitching in blue, brown, green and pink on the collar and cuffs and above the hem. HARDSTEW VISITS FLORIDA Jacksonville, Fla.—Perhaps you may think this a sudden jump for me from Virginia to Florida, and this included a trip through the North and South Carolina, and even through Virginia, because after writing to you last week, I made a trip to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore Maryland and several other places, and returned to Petersburg. Of course you know the war in on and our people continue to go to the North, but I am of the opinion that now is the time for them to show some common sense, and stay at home during these times, when the country is calling for patriotism, and the fellows who lays down his shovel and hoe, stops his plow, closes up his home and breaks to the North in search of money, or anything else, shows the lack of love for his country, and is working against himself. Go to the North, make dollars, or even earn them, but it is not possible to eat them, and unless attention is turned to the raising of food stuffs just now, the future is dark and starvation is looking right into our faces. We must make food, and I plead with my people who have left the farm, to lay aside the dollar craze and come back down home, and get to work in the earth, and plant therein the wealth which God wants you to have. It is yours, and believe me this old dirt down here will not draw the color line. This is our opportunity, and if we fall to make it now we will have only self to blame. Young men are called to the front, and they are willing to go, but us old men, must get down to helping to feed them while they fight and even while some idle. I never realized before THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE; SATURDAY APRIL 28th, 1917 when num- what it was to love a country, and how much one will do for his country. He will kiss his wife and children good bye and walk into death just like he was going into a meal for the protection of the flag of country. the Church Extension Board African Methodist Episcopal when I write you next and something to say about it. I back to Washington, and write Chester, Pa., Sunday. I have spent a little time in and around Petersburg, going from there to Washington, and Baltimore, looking at things, seeing how well we are guarded and protected. You are impressed with this going into Washington, when you see them black boys just across the bridge pacing up and down with their guns ready to shoot down any invader, and when you get into the city, you still see them on guard at the capitol and other places, and they will shoot. Hence our president can sleep when he goes to bed because he knows "Cuffy" is on guard, and he realizes that he is a real man with soul and brains, and will die if need be right now for his protection. No invasion with his black man on guard. I am proud that I am a citizen of the United States, and belong to this great race. In Washington. I had the pleasure of attending one of them big meetings, and meeting some of them big men up there in the big city. The meeting was held in the Y. M. C. A. and you will believe honey when I tell you them people have some building up there in Washington. Prof. Beckett is the secretary, and he is just one man who knows how to reach and how to handle men. He is a man who treats all his fellow beings well. Dr. J. Milton Waldon, provided over the meeting. I have been hearing about this great preacher for a long time, but now I have seen him. He is a great presiding officer, and well up. I met some of the big lawyers, doctors, and other big men there. I was delighted to meet them and to touch them. I was proud to note the wonderful progress we are making in this world. Now back to Petersburg. I did not get to visit the state school. I met President J. M. Gandy, but will meet him again some day. This is one of the few schools of the state that I have not been able to visit, yet I will some day. I have told you about my visit to Christianburg, and touching Prof. E. A. Long, also a visit to Orangeburg, Tallahassee, Pine Bluff, Frankfort, Ky., Jefferson City, Mo., Prairie-View, Texas, Montgomery, Tuskegee and Montgomery, Ala., Nashville, Teum., Greensboro, N. C., and looking into the state schools, but not at Petersburg school. There were many interesting things in and around Petersburg. I was the guest of Rev. S. A. Brown, D. D., pastor of Gillfield Baptist church, and had a delightful time with him and his interesting family. Met the undertakers, the doctors, the lawyers, the business men in town, and met one Rev. Hauk, who advertised as "Black Billy Sunday." I simply asked if the time will ever come when men of my race will try to make a racial name. I thank God that Daniel Webster Davis, who was one of the great men, simply advertised as D. Webster Davis, and he left for himself and for his race a name. The same was true with Fred Douglas, with Booker T. Washington, Paul Lawrence Dunbar, and they were proud of their names. They will ever live in the hearts of the people, and I would advise Dr. Hauk, to make such a name for himself, that people will want to be a Hauk instead of some black white man. He yourself and make your name stand out in history. I have been to Henderson, N. C., and had the pleasure of visiting the normal school there, also the public school. Prof. L. C. Cotton is doing a great big here, while the principal of the public school is one busy man. He showed me through that large building. There was one teacher who recognized the cost of high living, and had cut short of cloth for her skirt. I met her and others. The principal informed me that his correspondent for the Journal and Guide, but was not in school that day. I looked around and left the same afternoon for this place, for it is here where I am attending the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Florida Baptist College. Prof. X. W., Collier is president and he is one good president as well as one good man. Right by his side is one of the greatest characters I have ever met in the school room. Miss Sarah A. Blocker. She is devoted to the young women of her race, and is willing to give her life for them. She has touched many lives during the 25 years she has been in the Florida Baptist college, for she started with it, and is now its secretary. She was kept as busy as could be during the anniversary. hence I did not get to talk to her. The anniversary was a great time and a great meeting. I was glad to be here and to see what was going on. It was to me a real source of pleasure. I shall not be able to say all I would like to say this week, because I am so full. I will have another letter. I will have attended the meeting of the Church Extension Board of the African Methodist Episcopal church when I write you next and will have something to say about it. I am going back to Washington, and will be in Chester, Pa., Sunday. Watch YourStep When in New York, visit the Woman's Exchange, 135 W. 132nd St. and Beauty Parlor of Mme.

Feeding The Child At Age of Three The Second of a Series of Articles on The Care of Young Children At the beginning of the third year the child's diet may be increased by adding more solid food, especially meats and vegetables. According to the U. S. Department of Agriculture every healthy child of three should have at least one food a day from each of the following five groups: 1. Milk and dishes made chiefly of milk (most important of this group in children's diet); meat, fish, poultry, and eggs. 2. Bread and other cereal foods. 5. Simple sweets. The meats should be beef, boiled, broil, or roasted; lamb chops; the white meat of chicken; or delicate fish. All meat should be free from fat, gristle, or bone and finely minced when given to the child. Eggs should ve very soft boiled, coddled, or poached, or soft scrambled. Fried eggs should, never be given to a child; but the grated or mashed yoke of a very hard boiled egg may sometimes be used. Meat broths made from mutton, beef, or chicken have little nutriment, but if these are thickened with arrowroot or corn starch, and especially if milk is added, they become a valuable food. Well-cooked vegetables, strained and added to warm milk, are not only good foods but serve to teach the child to like vegetables. Cereals should be thoroughly cooked and served with milk or thin cream and a very small amount of sugar or none. Bread for a child should be at least two days old. Toast, zwiebuck, or hard crackers may be given once or twice a day. Baked potatoes moistened with a little butter, thin cream, beef juice or platter gravey may be given. Esparagus tips, spinich, stewed celery, squash, string beans, carrots, young peas, well-cooked and mashed, or put through a purée sieve, are all good for a child. A small portion of one of these vegetables may be a part of the child's dinned each day. Fruits should be continually used. At this age sweet oranges baked apples or stewed prunes are most useful. The juice or mashed pulp of fresh ripe pears or peaches may be given in the third year, but there is much danger in using overripe or green fruit, as well as in giving too much. It is especially necessary to be careful in hot weather when fresh fruit decays rapidly. Bananas should never be given to a young child. A child under 4 years of age should never have dried or salted meats, sausage, pork, game, liver, kidney, goose, or duck. Fried or raw vege- tables, hot fresh bread, cakes and pastries, salads, candy, slrups, tea, coffee, beer, cider, and soda water are all unsuitable foods for a child. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES Atlanta, Ga.—Sports on the campus have run slack for the last week. Beginning Wednesday we have our hands full. M. C. plays Clark a benefit game on their campus Wednesday. Saturday we are against Morris Brown University on our campus. This is expected to be a great game and a large crowd will turn out to see the last game of the season between the Giants and the Tigers. Tuskegee will appear against Morehouse for two games May 1st and 2nd, and on the 3rd will occur a track meet between Morehouse, Tuskegee and Atlanta University. This track meet is to be the feature event of the spring season. Tuskegee is reported to have two sprinters who gave Drew a close chase in the West, while A. U. and M. C. still retain the "old reliables." The annual lawn social of Spelman Seminary and Morehouse College will occur May 5th. The glee club and orchestra will make a short tour of Middle Georgia beginning May 4th and taking in Newnan, Griffin, Macon and Milledgeville. President Hope is now in Chicago. He is expected to return during the week. NEWS OF THE NATION'S CAPITOL Washington, D. C.-The Oldest Inhabitants' Association of the District of Columbia held its annual meeting and banquet on Thursday evening of last week at the Catholic Beneficial hall. The capacity of the auditorium was tested and the function was voted one of the most enjoyable yet held by this unique organization. This association is composed of such residents twenty-one years of age or over, and embraces many of the solid men of the capitol, who have rendered yeoman service in developing the community life of the race hereabout. It was established in November 1913, through the efforts of Mr. Jerome A. Johnson, who was its first president. Its objects are to realize the greatest civic benefits for the race and to keep alive the unique racial traditions which are so intensely woven into the warp and woof of the nation's history. The 16th of April, the date made history by reason of Abraham Lincoln's Proclamation of Emancipation, freeing the slaves in the District, was selected as the natal day of the association. Each year on this date, or as near it as possible the election of officers occurs, and in connection therewith is held the annual banquet or other fitting social function. The election this year resulted in the retention of all officers except Mr. Edward A. Savoy, fourth vice president, and Mr. William A. Prater, steward, both of whom declined another term. One of the principal features of these anniversaries is the address of the historian, which is prepared with a view to its permanent historical interest and value. This year, the historian, Mr. John H. Paynter, fairly outdid himself in the presentation of the aims and achievements of the organization in the past. The address scintillated with bright points and was listened to with the closest attention throughout. The speaker was tended an ovation at the close. The menu prepared under the personal supervision of Mr. Parter, was a masterpiece of the art gastronomic. The brilliant inaugural ball of this year and the high-class picnic of last fall are numbered among the multitude of stellar social functions given under the auspices of the Oldest Inhabitants' Association of the District of Columbia. * * * Washington has been favored in the past few weeks with an unusual number of distinguished visitors. Mr. Emmett J. Scott passed through last Saturday, en route to New York. Mr. Ernest T. Attwell, business agent of Tuskegee Institute, Mr. A. E. Manning, editor of the Indianapolis World, Mr. N. B. Marshall, first lieutenant and acting captain of a company in the 15th regiment, New York National Guard, and Mine E. Azalia Hackley, were among the passing throng, and right glad was the denizens of the hospitable capital to see them all. Last but not least, we had in our midst that prince of associated press correspondents and lecturer, Mr. Chas Stewart, whose established domicile is "somewhere in the United-States." The Howard has struck a healthy stride by introducing a season of vaudeville. Manager Thomas is pleasing all corners by combining in happy proportion star photo plays and high-class vaudeville acts. The Quality Ann-ement Company will probably pay a week's visit early in May in "A Fool There Was." --- The famous Marshall Sisters, Ethel and Nina, opened a three week's sojourn in the city Monday at the Foraker, with Dudley's and the Mid-city to follow. These gifted young artists have an excellent act and they are wearing some stunning gowns to set it off. "Green Grass Mason" formerly of Howard and Mason, and Smith and King, hit it off finely last week at Dudley's The Howard Dramatic Club is to give "Disraeli" May 5 at the Howard theatre. One of the most popular among the men of red-blood and rich mental resources who have been brought to the nation's capitol through the government is Mr. John H. Polk. He is attached to the census Bureau of the department of commerce, and by steady application to his work intellectual elertness and especial adapta- tion to the preparation of the statistical bulletins assigned to his desk, he has gone forward rapidly and is now a high grade clerk rated. among the best in the Bureau. June 30th next, the terms of three members of the Board of Education expires. Ernest H. Daniel goes out voluntarily, declining to be a candidate for re-appointment. It is not known whether Mr. W. T. Gallilher desires to hold on or notThe especial interest of the colored people centers about the succession to Mrs. Coralie Franklin Cook, who will end her first term at the close of the present fiscal year. /It is understood that Mrs. Cook is willing to stand for reappointment and her friends are already active lining up for her all the influence at their command. The opposition however, is strong and persistent, and will put up a fight that must not be under-rated. The whole community is alive on the question and the contest will be watched with interest. The People's Funeral Service Corporation has been instituted at 1700 Vermont Avenue, and it is said that it will revolutionize funeral conditions in the District, placing the best service within the reach of all, and at reasonable prices. A building has been remodled for the use of the corporation and they are open for business. The officers of the new corporation are: President, R. C. Richardson; vice president, Rev. G. M. Oliver; secretary, Mrs. M. J. Hall; correspondent, secretary, Rev. C. H. Stepteau; treasurer, John W. Lewis; M.-J. Richardson, chairman of the board of directors. In the last six weeks the company has given employment to over 100 men and paid over $4,000 for labor. --- Rev. D. E. Wiseman, the energetic pastor of the Church of Our Redeemer (Lutheran) is sending supplies of various kinds to the needy colored people of the Danish West Indies—now the Virgin Island and is assisting in a substantial way all the natives of these islands who happen to some to this section of the United States. Dr. Wiseman is him-elf a native of St. Thomas and was instrumental in having courtesies extended to the citizen's commission who visited Washington a few weeks ago to ask the State Department to provide a liberal government for the islands under the new regime. The two Washington lodges of Elks are already getting busy with their plans to attend the national convention of the antlered herd in Cleveland. O.. next August. NOTICE!

' REST AND wore An opening the automobile tours the other night, the Rev. T. J. Goodall put his very finger on the very cause of most of the weakness among the Young people and why so many young men and women fall victims to com- municable diseases at thelr early ages. He pointed out that many of them work eight or ten hours of the day and then instead of obeying the natural Impulse to steep and rest, they undertake to carouse and socfalize all night. “It siaply cannot be done,” he said, “for iron itself will wear out.” This is true doctrine of good health — A proper and equitable apportion. ment of the twenty-four hours in work, recreation and rest.

Every holy knows that congested and overcrowded living are the ral- fant allies of consumption. This fact is almost well-known by the very helpless victims of the tenement house institution, Naturally enough, over- crowding Is closely related to nnsant- tary ronditions. The Urban League have been Actively ‘interested In these measures for a long time. The conditions were care- fully investigated, data’ provided, and appeal was made to the city council, three years ago, to take some action look?= toward correcting and improy- ing housing und sanitary conditions. Fer the last year, the president of the leagne has been urging upon the lear and various organizations, in- elading the South Atlantle Medical Ax. sociation, to establish a free medical and ental clinic in the Sheart of Yam- acraw" and by an odd coincident, the first of these clinicr was held Wed: vewlay at Yamacraw ‘Centre. just a few hvurs befcre a Ciscussion of these needs took place In the auiual meet- ing of the Woman's Federation. At ‘this clinie more than a don Negro physicians and dentists took part, be- sides a half dozen nurses and assist- ants, Some thirty-five or forty: sub- jects werd examined, in spite of the inclement weather. This shows the extreme: eagerness of the poor in that section for such service, HEALTH AND BETTER LIVING “The eolured people, through tke vig- ‘cea campaign which has beén prose- cuted during the past ten days, have eee the most effective fight on sick- ness and the causes whieh Iead up to much sickness and death, that has eee heen waged in Savannah, The results will be far-reaching and we shall be very disappointed if there is hot 2 significant reduetion In the num- her of deaths reported to the health Jdcparment duriag the current year, AU persons and all organizations werking In the campaign did good work aud many of them at xreat sacrifice to their work and business. It is neces- sary for the strong and the capable to make these sacrifices in the interest of the weak and ignorant, and many of our leading people are getting the prow er Vision of their duty and a just con- ception of their relation to their fel- lowmen, ‘With a growing number of these aight thinking people and a wider ag- tivity in the cause of uplift and other forms of sucial service, we cun see that it will not be very long before the ill social conditions which now enthrall and engulf so many unfortunate peo- ple will be done away with, and the world become an eminently more de sirable place in which to live. ‘The larger, percentage~of depravity in the world is most certinly due to a luck of vision and opportunity, which is is but another way of saying a lack of training in better ways of life.

AN APPEAL TO THE: NEGROES OF GEORGIA sothe Negroes of Georgia: Germany by her acts of fatiless submaring warfire, han thrust a state of war upon the “United> States of americs, No one who has kept up with tle situation can charge our president! with undue haste in rushing inte this conflict; nor can it be said thai he was uot diligent in his efforts to avert this undesired — condition, From the yery beginning of the war +n Lurope, onr Po <ident has been a slong advocate of peace, and has used “cry hynorable cians te bring it shout. Itis long-suffering and patience in his effort to avert war, were «all than any reasonable nation of peco- ple could expect. Indeed, many of his own countrymen have been In- clined to criticize him for bis failure to pursue more drastic methods; but his conduct has been that of a christian stafexman. And now “that the war has been thrust upon us, it fs the duty of every American citizen to lend every Possible encouragement to our chief erecutive, and to prove his unflagging loyalty to his government. I take this method therefore, as president of the General Misstonary Baptist Conven- tlon of Georgia, representing more than 400,000 Americans, to inform you that T stand out ‘and out for the support of the United States Government and the defense of the United States fing in this untinsited’ conflict. Ana I most earnestly eall upon every Negro Baptist preacher, teacher, and person of whatever sex, profession or call- ‘Ing, to take the same position and to use his Ingnenee{and bis Information to educate all thé black people upon the cause of this conflict and upon their duty to display a loyalty and a patriotism worthy of our past rec- ord. No Negro has ever proven a traitor to the American government or disloyal to the American flag. ‘This is a! splendid opportunity, for the Negro to reacquaint the American people with the kind of patriotism which the Negro as Americans possess. | There are rumors sfloat that many Germans or German sympathizers are .seeking to array Negroes against the Amelcan goyenmentr. The rumors, no doubt, were bon of minds conscious of wrouge perpetrated against the Ne- firoes, Some of which have been suf- ficiently aggravating to, raise in the mind of the less thoughtful Negroes the questiin whether or not this coun- try really desired thelr loyalty, TI am not disturbed over these rumors. Such efforts I know would fail utterly of success. It is a fact which we can- ngt deny, that the Negro people have received shameful treatment In many localities, but it ought to be remem- bered that most of these wrongs Nave Deen perpetrated gr permitted either by state, county or city governments and not by the government of the United States. I most earnestly-ap- peal therefore, to oyery Negro, to for- get ns far as possible all local dif- ferencen, to bury pl local prejudices, and rise to the height and dignity of an American citizen, and to bring all that he possesses to the support of the American flay. ‘This is pur country in spite of the pet phrase of the po- litical demaozue to the contrary. Negro blood has Been given in pay- ment for every right which the United State possess; and I am proud to be: Meve that the Ioyal sons"of such pa- triotie fathers are ready to” help transmit. to posterity the glorious heritage of American freedom. Yonrs for the support and defense of the United States of America, M. W. REDDICK President General Missionary Baptist Convention of Georgia. RESOLUTION ON THE DEATH OF REV. D. A.

SUNDAY SCHOOL, Lesson Vi—Second Quarter For May 6, 1917. (THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. ‘Text of the Lesson, John xiii, 1-17. Memory Verses, 14-15—Golden Text, Mark x, 44—Commentary Prepared fy Rev. D. M. Stearns. The last evening of the most wonder- ful Ife ever Mved on this earth had come. The living and true God’ in human but not sinful Sesh bad been on earth over thirty-three years, thirty years in the humble Nazareth hame and over three years in His public ministry, filled with the Holy Spirit, golag- about doing good and beullng all that were oppréssed of the devil, for God was with Him (Acts x, 38). This Was the passover that He had so de sired to keep with them before He-suf- fered (Luhe axii, 15, 16). The time had come to whieh He had looked for- ward before the world was (I Pet. 5, 20). and. notwithstanding all their Dlinduess and untelief Ie was still loving this little company whom Ue had chosen to be IIis discipies. There 4s a lot of comfort in the first verse of our lesson, with whieh I Lave in my } ming Jer xxsf, 5, and refotce tn the fact that He still loves this bit of His property, although [He knew ft so thor- oughly befure 1 ever heard Him say that He loved and gave Himself for me (Gal. fi, 20). Peter and John hay- ing made ready the passover feast in the upper room to which the Lord Himself lad directed them, He sat down with the twelve, saying as He took part with them that He would not eat of it any more nor drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God should come. Then ,He insti- tuted the supper by which we com- memorate His death till Be shall come again. Some time during the evening there was a strife among them as to which of them should be accounted the greatest—I suppose iu the kingdom of which He had spoken—and He had to | teach them again that lowliness was true greatness and He was among them as one who served (Luke xxii, 7-30; Matt. xx, 28). Verse 2 reads in the revised version “during eupper” in- stead of “supper being ended” and that the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot to betray Him. ln Luke xxil, 1-6, we read that before the feast Judas had been to the chief priests and bad agreed with them | to betray Him unto them. Yet bere he is at the table with the others as if he was a true disciple and none of the others: had any suspicion that he Was uot: Sce’verses 18-30. What x desperate Lypocrite the devil can make of a person when he {s al- -lowed to take control! If we allow his | suggestions to enter our hearts he will soon enter in himself (rerses 2-27). How infinitely patient was our Lord to tolerate the presence of ‘such a one and to wash his feet with the others, as Iie seems to bave done, knowing all the time how devil possessed be was! The key to Ilis great humility, His gnice to do the Jowllest things und to be patient with the devil himself- and | to bear such insult and injury as came | upon Hin is seen In verse 3. He knew who lie was, that He came from heav- en and was xoing back bome and that | the Father ad given all things into His hands. Ue was not aiming to be somebody, for He was the only real ' somebody that ever lived. Real great- | nens can stoop gracefully to lowllest service; but it Is impossible to those ' who are aiming at greatness. Only as | we believe that we really are what , God says we are, because of our being redectavd by the precious blood of | Christ, can we walk worthy of such a high calling. We dre not aiming to be children of God and joint heirs with Christ, for such we are by our receiv- ing Him (Jobn I, 12; I Jobn ial, 1, 2; Thom. viii, 16, 17). But being such by | free grace we should hold ourseltes ready for any service by which we can glorify Wim. lis sevenfold act of verses 4, 5, 15 He rose from the supper and prepared to minisfer to them Is suggestive of perfect bumiliation In or- der to perfect service. This act of ministry in the matter of water for thelr fect was within the reach of any of them, but people who sre striving for greatness, as they were, are not apt to think that any lowly service is in their line. Water for the feet was an act of common courtesy,,as in Gen. xviil, 4, and tmplied in Luke vii, 44. Having done for them what any of them might have done, He said, “I have glveu you an example that ye should do as I have done to you” {verses 12-17). When Peter objected to allowing Him to wash his feet His reply, “If 1 wash thee not thou hast no part with me™ (verse 8), micht well so lejeledeleleleleleleinbeeleiieleielniinleieletedeivielnininisieieieil. = FortValley High & Ind.

PAGE SIX Co-operation Needed Anent Negro Exodus Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay Just at this time, when there is so much unrest and commotion among the South's natural agriculturals, the southern Negro, it seems but fitting that the more thoughtful and conservative ones of both races should get together and devise helpful plans whereby the discontented element among us will be assured that thoughtful consideration will be given them in the matter of safety and protection along all lines. This can be done without any person concerned losing his racial identity. If he is a Negro before this meeting is called and attended he will be a Negro when it is over. Should he be a member of some other race before such a meeting is called and attended, there will be no physical changes to take place while the meeting is in progress nor will there be any when it is over. So no one need have any fear as to losing his racial identity, by attending a meeting of this nature, which means so much to the employing class in this section. There is no class of men who will feel the heavy hand of this unprecedented exodus of the best class of Negro labor which is going daily from the South to the East, North and West, as the employing class of the South will feel it. What will it mean to the employing class, do you ask? Why, it means that all kind of common labor is going to be higher and very much harder to get. It also means that thousands and thousands of acres of fertile farm lands in the South, which in former years, yielded abundantly for these very same people who are leaving them for the northern and eastern shops, mills and factories, will grow up into weeds and briars. Then you ask, can this unprecedented migration of Negroes from the South to the East, West and North be stopped? We answer, it can. Then you ask, how? The reasonable and common sense way of stopping the South's best and strongest laborers from leaving here and migrating to the North, East and West, in great borders and numbers, as has been the case for the last ten or a dozen months, is for the employing class to get on the job and see to it that no section of the country whether it be called East, West, North or by any other name, can treat the Negro, the wealth producing class, any better than he will be treated here in the South. His native health. In farming communities where fertile lands are going to waste, where plows are lying under the sheds, where mules are standing little for the want of some one to harness them up and put them to work; in short, in communities where the exodus of our people is most keenly felt, a meeting should be called, assuring all parties concerned that a fair and impartial opportunity will be given all to speak, and tell his grievance, if he has any, and in the mean time having all understand that it is a citizens' meeting pure and simple and is for the mutual benefit of the entire community, irrespective of race or color. When this is conscientiously and fearlessly done, then, the beginning of the end of the Negro exodus from the South will be in sight. The bosh that many of us have allowed ourselves to indulge in, with regret to the Negro freezing to death and not being able to stand the rigors of the northern climate, and all of that kind of thing, is but little more than upreril, at its best. Why, there was Matt Henson who went with Consolone Peary to the very apex of the earth, the north pole, and was none the worse for having made the trip. The Negro like all other people, will freeze to death when he cannot make money enough to buy sufficient clothes to keep his body warm. Thus you see, that that scare crow will not work in this connection. The thing we must do, is to get together and devise common sense plans to keep the Negro here in the South, where he wants to live in peace like a man, and die and be buried along side of his father and grand father. No, no, the Negro doesn't want to leave the South, for there are sentimental ties which bind him into this section of our common country, almost as strong as death itself. But the Negro, like all other rational beings, is constantly looking out for an opportunity to better his condition, whether that opportunity is afforded him in the North, East, West or any other section of the country, when he thinks he sees it he feels that he has a right to embrace it. Now, let all the employing classes of this section of the country, irrespective of their nationalities, bend all of their energy to the end that this great movement North, East and West of the South's best and strongest laborers be given assurance that no section of the country shall be more considerate of their wants and needs, whether it be from a stand point of good treatment, educational facilities for their children or any of the other many what nots, than this section, and all will be well. Come early to your next meeting, Wednesday evening, April 2nd and bring a friend along with you and join in the discussion of the advisability of organizing a Negro state business league. Among the Masons Among the Masons One of the benefits of Masonry most appreciated by members of the craft is in the courtesies extended by Masons to their brethren who may be traveling in strange lands. It is the giving and receiving of these courtesies that causes the intelligent Mason to realize that Masonry means a great deal to the ordinary man. The fraternal friendship need not and usually does not, consist of giving financial aid. The Mason enduring himself in a strange city or country, needs advice and counsel. He needs the assistance of his brother in an endeavor to obtain honest information regarding the people, customs, hotels, etc., and he always receives what he seeks from reliable sources, provided he is able to establish his identity and he conducts himself in a manner becoming a Mason. It is unreasonable to suppose that simply because a man wears a Mason's emblem and declares himself to be a Mason he can secure money from any Mason whom he should chance to meet. But he may rest assured he will receive friendly treatment should he ask for information, which is so valuable when abroad in a strange land. It may be information regarding the standing and integrity of people whom he intends dealing with, or it may be as to the whereabouts of relatives or friends. Again he may need a physician in case of illness or a lawyer to prosecute a law suit. In any event, he can get and usually does get reliable data to guide him. The fraternal spirit is growing stronger day by day, and it is usually a pleasure for Masons to extend the hand of welcome to his brother whenever and wherever he may be found. When a Mason travels he should fortify himself with proper credential and be prepared at all times to establish his identity and Masonic standing. Members of the fraternity are to be found in every part of the country who are willing and ready. to do a brother a kindness. At the same time the traveler should be prepared to show his appreciation by many and upright conduct.—Masonic Chronicle. Be up and Doing No man however lofty or however humble, can isolate himself in a dark cell of exclusiveness, determined to live for himself alone. No man, however obscure can truly say that he can contribute nothing to enlighten and benefit humanity. He cannot know that, and ought not to assume it. Let the Mason turn his mind steadily to the needs of others and he will be blessed. Let us do some kindly act towards our neighbor while he is yet alive, and not precrastinate until death calls him, that he may know that we have his interest at heart as well as our own. Selected. There is something wrong with the mental balance of the brother who "becomes disgusted with Masonry" because he finds that some Masons are not so sincere and honest as they ought to be. The institution should not be blamed for the faults of those who fail properly to represent it.Selected. Ethics of Masonry The ethical standards of Masonry are superb and when received into honest hearts and practiced in consistent lives prepare the door for that service which will ennoble his own nature and make him a blessing to his generation. It is too sadly true that too many men gain admission into our order who ignore its obligations. These men are guilty, yes doubly guilty of wrong in that they are inconsistent and also that by neglect they erect a false standard which betrays the order which they claim to be members of. The ethical teachings of Masonry are designed to make a man true in every relationship of life, true to himself and true to every person and true to every interest, and in any circumstance or condition, he it trying as it may be, cannot deter him from the faithful performance of his obligations. As someone has said, "There are too many non-conductors in Masonry." They are not attracted by its sublime teachings, but ignore them by their dealings with their brethren and also with the profane. They are guilty of irreparable injury to the Order which they profess to love and they are discounting its claims as one of the world's greatest agencies for the benefit of mankind. If every Mason would be true to his vows, the community in which he lives THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, would be influenced to reach the high standards of living and doing which he sets forth. The profane must ever remember that the fault always is with the unfaithful member of the order and not with the order itself. The blame should rest where it properly belongs. The opportunities and privileges of Masonry are numerous and blessed is he who makes Masonic use of them. So mote it be.—Masonic Home Journal. Be just—because equity sustains the human race. Be good—because goodness enchains all hearts. Be indulgent—because, feeble thyself thou should bear with the feebleness of others. Be kind—because kindness secures affection. Be grateful—because gratitude is the food that nourished liberality. Be modest—because pride is offensive to thy fellow beings. Pardon injuries—because vengeance perpetuates hate. Render good for evil—because in this way you will rise superior to the evildoer, and make him your friend. Be forebearing, temperate, chaste—because voluptuousness, intemperance and sensuality are destructive to your existence, and will render it miserable. Be a good citizen—because our country is necessary for thy security, and happiness and well being. Defend the country with thy life—because it is she who secures thee in thy property, and in the possession of all those things near to thy heart; but never forget that humanity has rights; if thy country wrong thee, if she refuses thee happiness and suffer thee to be oppressed; leave her in silence, but never trouble her. Support adversity with resignation.—Masonic Home Journal. The oldest of all secret orders, Masonry, had in her warp and woof, any imbedded in the very fibres of her being, every excellence that the other possessed centuries before any other secret order was ever dreamed of. Enthralmed in the hearts of the best of the sons of the earth, she had her origin in the order and beauty displayed in the building of the skies. The companion of civilization, and hand-made of religion, her principles underlie all just government and permeate all real morality. Universal in her reign and eternal in her nature, she speaks in every language and holds dominion in every age. Regarding, as she does, the internal rather than the external qualifications of a man, the brain and the heart rather than the length of the hair and the color of the skin, she places the royal diadem of her approval upon every true and honest man that knocks at her altar; she beholds man stripped of the pomp and circumstance of rank and race, of place and power; and if she finds in him intrinsic worth and merit she calls him as her own. Dr. C. C. Johnson. Grand Master, South Carolina CHILDREN IN WAR TIME Washington, April 10—thousands of children besides war orphans and refugees have been directly affected by the war, according to reports from belligerent countries which have come to the Children's Bureau of the U. S. Department of Labor. Juvenile delinquency has increased, more children have been employed under adverse conditions, special measures have been necessary to protect the health of mothers and babies, and home life has been broken up by the increased employment of mothers. The Bureau believes that the experience of other countries should be carefully considered in order that all possible provision may be made to prevent similar harm to children in the U. S. The bureau has therefore begun a brief review of foreign experience, in so far as it can be understood from available reports, and will shortly publish a series of special articles about children in war time. A preliminary survey of the foreign material emphasizes the importance of a strict enforcement of all child-labor and school attendance laws and a generous development of infant-welfare work by public and private agencies. The Children's Bureau suggests that a well-planned Baby Week will be more valuable this year than ever before and will gladly send its bulletin of directions for Baby-Week Campaigns to any address. For those who are especially interested in working children, the Bureau's new report on Employment-Certificate System in New York will show certain points which are essential if an age limit for children's work is to be effective.

Angelo-Edwards, will present Shakespeare's Hamlet. The admission will be free of charge. There will be no reserved seats. The taste is unusually good and there will be a large audience, so that all who mean to come must be on time to see the first act. The curtain will rise promptly at eight. Atlanta University is rendering a most important service to the community in these forms of college extension that provide not merely whole-one diversion but also a kind of community education. These entertainments elevate the popular taste by holding out something besides motion pictures and popular ballads. Only a few weeks ago the musical department gave a free public recital of Gaul's oratorio. The Holy City, and a few weeks before that a wonderful lecture on Alaska by Mr. Ralnes, which was also free of charge. The preliminary contest for the Herndon prizes declination came off this week with happy results. It is hoped that some graduate or some successful colored man will seize the opportunity to encourage debating in Atlanta University as well as English composition in a practical way. Atlanta University is the first Negro college in Georgia to send a representative in response to the call of our country for men. Mr. James Williams, the star fullback on our football team, has gone to Columbus, O. to become a cavalryman.

SUNDAY SCHOOL. SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson V.—Second Quarter, For April 29, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, John xii, 12-25 Memory Verses, 12, 13-Golden Text, John xii, 13-Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. The first part of this lesson is the record of the so called triumphal entry into Jerusalem, but it was really one of the saddest days of His life, for as He beheld the city He wept over it, because they knew not what He longed to do for them (Luke xix, 41-44). By riding upon the ass' colt He literally fulfilled the prediction in Zech. ix, 9, and the time draws near when He will just, as literally fulfill the next verse and speak peace unto the nations and have dominion over all the earth. Then shall He make wars to cease in all the world, and the nations shall learn war no more (P's xlvl, 9; Isa. ii, 4) Then shall Zeph. ill, 14-17, be literally fulfilled. "The king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee; thou shalt not see evil any more." Then shall all the world indeed go after Him (verse 10), for when the Lord shall make bare His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God and shall turn unto the Lord, and all nations shall worship before Him (Isa. ii, 9, 10; Ps. xxii, -27, 28; lxxxvi, 9). All that He was prevented from accomplishing at His first coming shall surely be fulfilled at His coming again. The desire of the Greeks to see Jesus and His reply are all suggestive of the time of which we have just been speaking and of the age of suffering through which we are still passing because of the rejection of Him and His kingdom and its consequent postponement. He is the wheat that had to die in order to bear fruit, and His followers must be content to travel the same road (verses 20-26). Instead of praying to be saved from the hour to which He had now come, His prayer was, "Father, glorify Thy name!" And the Father answered from heaven, "I have both glorified it and will glorify it again (verses 27, 28). To the people the voice sounded like thunder, but to Him the words were clear (verses 20, 30). Put with this the other two testimonies of the Father from heaven, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased," and, "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye Him" (Matt. III, 17; xvii, 5); and may we become so well pleased in Him that the Father may be well pleased in us. Then shall we glorify God, which is the one thing we are here to do (I Cor. x, 31; I Pet. iv, 11). Because the rightful King is rejected the devil continues to be the prince of this world, the god of this world, and the whole world lie in the wicked one (verse 31, xiv, 30; xvii, 11; II Cor. iv, 4; I John v, 19, R. V.). Having to contend with such adversaries as the world, the desh and the devil, we can better understand His sayings: "Ye shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; nation shall rise against nation and kingdom against kingdom, and there shall be famines and pestilences and earthquakes in diyers places. See that ye be not troubled. In the world, tribulation: in me, peace" (Matt. xxiv, 6, 7; John xvi, 33; Luke xxi, 25, 26). The past two years of these things in an unparalleled degree convince us that we have entered upon the closing years of the times of the gentiles, and, while His followers have always been expected to be ready to lay down their lives for His sake, in these perilous last days, when the food of the church is being so thoroughly leavened and the world in so many forms is being welcomed by the professing church, it is necessary to be very, very peculiar. In the eyes of many and absolutely refuse to listen to any discrediting of any part of the Word of God, or to make light of anything taught therein, or to have any fellowship with anything in the church which is purely of this present evil age and not of God. We must learn to say with new emphasis, "To me to live is Christ," and all that is not directly from Him and for Him we cannot touch. It must be fully and always "Not I, but Christ," "Not I, but the grace of God," the self life reckoned dead that the life of Jesus may be made manifest (Phil. I, 21; Gal. II, 20; I Cor. xv, 10; II Cor. iv). Bear with me for saying it so often. But when we consider that He never pleased Himself, never sought His own will or His own glory, how can we follow Him except by a similar renunciation of self? Anything like preferring the praise of men more than the praise of God cannot be tolerated (verse 43), and a desire to be thought original in anything we say or do is wholly ruled out by the fact that He said only what the Father told Him to say, and all His works were wrought by the Father in Him (verses 49, 50, xlv, 10). We may not expect all people to believe all we say, even though the message be wholly of God and He in some way set His seal upon it, for His message was not received by all, and He was despised and rejected. The devil is still blinding eyes and hardening hearts least people should believe and be saved. The two quotations from Isa. lil. 1, and vl. 9, 10, in verses 38-41 of our lesson chapter, the one from the last section of Isaiah and the other from the first, with the connecting phrase of verse 41. "Isaiah said again," are to me conclusive proof that the Spirit wrote, through one and the same Isaiah, the whole of his prophecy. JEWELER AND WATCHMAKER ALL WORK GUARANTEED 507 WEST BROAD ST.

Congress passed a law that Negro regiments should be a part of the regular army. Under this act the Ninth and Tenth Cavarly and the Thirty-eighth, Thirty-ninth, Fortieth, and Forty-first regiments of infantry were organized. March 8, 1869, a consolidation act was passed and the Thirty-eighth and Forty-first were reorganized as the twenty-fourth regiment of infantry; the Thirty-ninth and Fortieth regiments were reorganized as the Twenty-fifth regiment of infantry. These regiments were stationed on the frontier and rendered valuable service in the military operations against the Indians extending from Dakota to Mexico. The Ninth and Tenth Cavalry won the reputation of being the best Indian fighters on the frontier." In the Spanish-American War "At the outbreak of the Spanish American War in 1898, the four Negro regiments, were among the first troops ordered to the front. "Negro soldiers took a more conspicuous part in the Spanish-American War than in any previous war waged by the United States. At the first battle in Cuba, Las Guasimas, the Tenth Cavalry distinguished itself by coming to the support of Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and the Rough Riders. The Ninth and Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth infantry rendered heroic service in the famous battle of San Juan Hill." NOTICE!
