The ON ACCOUNT LACK OF TIME Thousands To Attend All Schools Except Cuyler to Enter Contest The plans for the school children's races in conjunction with the celebration of Patriotic Day have assumed such large proportions that more time must be allowed for preparations. The committee in charge of the great citizens and business men's parade that will be made and that, in charge of the band and chorus which will sing the National Negro Hymn and the National airs, and the committee of ladies who will stage the folk-dances and folk plays for the girls and smaller children, will also need more time. They are already at work and the plans are going forward solendidly. The event will be held on Monday June 4th, which will no doubt be observed as a general holiday. Provision is being made, by the program committee for the entry of a great number of boys now out of school and for those whose schools will be closed by races' day. These can report to The Tribune office for Instructions and entry. The ticket contest this year will be very close, first, second and third prizes being awarded to the schools selling the largest number of tickets. Both boys and girls will be eligible for the contest. Tickets may be secured from J. C. Lindsay, Wage Earners Bank building at 10 o'clock Monday. All of the public schools of the city, except the Cuyler Street school and most of the private schools will enter the races. Prof. R. W. Gadsden who is supervising the preparations for the patriotic songs has conferred with the various principles relative to practices by the children and the schools are already rehearsing the songs. The bands, also, are practising the special music and it is believed that the occasion which will mark the singing of these airs by the vast holiday throng will be one to stir the deepest emotion of patriotism and national unity. Every man, woman and child will wear the American flag. Many of the children will dress in the national colors. The ladies of the play grounds and the kindergartens have planned to carry out the national color scheme in all the constuming for the dances and tableaux. A great number of children may take part in the dances if they will report to Miss Lee of the play grounds. The citizens and business men's parade which is being arranged by Messrs. J. C. Imdsay, E. H. Burke and Jas. A. Monroe is expected to be unique in every particular. All social and fraternal organizations are invited to take places in the parade, their officers and members occupying carriages, automobiles or other vehicles; the schools are requested to place their entrants, in separate groups, in the parade; the children who are to take part in the dances and plays will occupy places in the line of march, as will also the officers, judges and field officers of the races. The general admission of 10 cents to all persons will be charged, the net receipts to go to the work of the Urban League. Supt. C. W. Gibson of the city schools will give the same hearty support to the races which we have had in the past. Below is given a list of the events with a tentative outline of the program of the day: 1 p. m.—Assembly of carriages, automobiles and other vehicles at West Broad and Gwinnett streets. 1:30 to 2:30—General parade of citizens, Business men and participants, West Broad street, etc. 3 to 3:30—Band concert at Park (National Alrs). 5 to 5:30 p. m.—Singing National Anthem. 50 yd dash.....60 to 70 lbs 75 yd dash.....70 to 80 lbs 100 yd dash.....80 to 90 lbs 220 yd dash.....90 to 100 lbs 120 hurdle.....100 to 110 220 hurdle.....Open VOLUME XXXII --- May 24th Tuskegee Commencement Day May 24th Tuskegee Commencement Day PROF.

The observance has been one of the most helpful ever held here and adds another commendable achievement to the many excellent things for public welfare accomplished by the Urban League this year. Hundreds have seen the exhibits which have been shown at the Cuyler Street school during the week and have gained valuable information from their great lessons. Nothing of the kind, ever shown in Savannah, has attracted such wide-spread attention—nothing has more deserved to do so, because of the extreme seriousness of this display, showing as it dose, the alarming conditions surrounding the children of Savannah and the means for improving those conditions. Too many children die in Savannah each year; too many are still-born; too many fall to get medical attention at birth and in time of illness. This condition should arrest the attention and compell the serious thought of every parent in this city. The Health Department and the various organizations like the Huntingdon Club, the Woman's Feederton, have responded nobly and enthusiastically to the aid of the Urban League, and affiliated organizations in this State Doctors Meet Here Next Tuesday State Doctors Meet Here Next Tuesday ABOUT SEVENTY-FIVE EXPECTED TO ATTEND Local Medical Society to Give Visitors A Big Time The Georgia State Association of Colored Physicians, Pharmasists and Dentists meets here Tuesday, in its annual session.

The people of Savannah are aroused to a recognition of the dreadful health conditions obtaining here. We are going to remedy those conditions if we keep up the good work we are doing. The Baby Welfare Committee led by Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, has done splendid service in bringing all the civic forces in the city together in this great exhibition and lecture courses on babyhood improvement. The excellent services of Miss Van de Vrede, Dr. Basset and our own doctors, nurses and teachers are wothy of highest commendation. Without this, the campaign could not have been the great success it has been. It is hoped to have the exhibit again exhibited in Yamacraw., where many more, people can view it. During the week splendid lectures and addresses were delivered by Drs. Belcher, Tyson, Brent, Harris, Middleton and Basset. On Friday, Dr. Brunner, Miss Van de Vrede, Supt. Gibson and others delivered addresses to the large crowd. The children of the play grounds showed to good advantage in their folk-dances and plays, their especial feature being the May pole dances. The baby parade attracted much attention and elicited favorable comment. About two hundred were in line. Ex-Senator Foraker Passes Away WAS A STRONG FRIEND OF THE NEGRO Opposed Strongly Dismissal of Negro Soldiers in Brownsville Affair Cincinnati., May 10—Joseph Benson Foraker, former United States senator from Ohio, died at his home here today, aged 70 years. He had been in poor health since his retirement from the senate in 1909. Mr. Foraker was twice elected and twice defeated for the governorship of Ohio while he served two terms in the United States senate from 1897 to 1909. He presented the name of William McKinley to the national Republican convention in 1896 and 1910. He began his political life in Ohio as early as 1870, when he was elected as judge of the superior court at Cincinnati. He resigned that office in 1882, and his ascendancy in politics at the time was evidenced by the fact that the following year he was the Republican nominee for governor. He was born in the state that he represented. His birthplace was Rainsboro, the year 1846. He was fitted for college when the Civil war broke out, but he answered the call for troops to preserve the Union at the same time that William McKinley old, and in the same way. Like McKinley he offered his services as a private in the ranks, and became a member of the Eighty-ninth Ohio regiment. In 1883, nominated by the Republicans for governor, and defeated; in 1885, nominated for governor and elected; re-elected in 1887; chairman of the Republican state convention in Ohio in 1886, 1890 and 1896; delegate-at-large from Ohio to the Republican national convention of 1884, 188, 1892 and 1896; elected United States senator to succeed Calvin S. Brice in 1896. On Thursday morning the convention again splits, the physicians and dentists holding separate meetings. In the afternoon at 3:30 o'clock a boat ride around the harbor is scheduled.

WHITTIER WRIGHT FINISHES MAHARRY Prominent Young Man Completes Medical Course Meharry held her commencement exercises at Ryman Auditorium, and of the one hundred and fifty to receive diplomas, probably none was more worthy than "Whit" Wright. Without a doubt this young man has fought his way to the front. He has done this not only through difficulties and hardships, but by perseverance and hard study. Since coming to Nashville young Wright, who is the son of the famous Major R. R. Wright, of Savannah, Ga., has made a very favorable impression here. During his first year here he plunged right in during the colored X. M. C. A. campaign and was an active worker in the raising of the $33,333 in subscriptions. During the same year he compiled a Nashville Colored City Directory which met with popular approval. The Globe is especially interested in him because he has served constantly and earnestly on its staff during his four years' sojourn here. He has been regarded as one of the best men on the staff. His classmates honored him with the editorship of their class Annual, a little booklet which reflects credit upon the institution. The Globe extends congratulations to this young man, who represents the highest type of Negro manhood and predicts for him as successful career, predicts for him a successful career —Nashville Globe. Mr. Wright favored us us with a copy of the Meharry Annual. It leads all others. Mr.-Wright expects to practice in Pennsylvania. Mr. Dan Dorssey of Jacksonville, Fla. was called to the city on account of the death of his mother. NUMBER 36 300,000 POUNDS PAPER COLLECTED BY THE FOUR NEGRO PUBLIC SCHOOLS West Broad Leading Contest for Piano Reduced to Maple and West Broad Schools The waste paper contest which has been waged for the past two, and a half months between the four Negro schools of the city saw no change in the leadership this week, the inclement weather of Friday before last prevented the usual big collection of paper by the Maple street school and therefore keeping her in second place with the West Broad street school retaining the leadership. There was but one collection of paper this week among the schools, that of Tuesday when the West Broad street school in its seventh collection reported 16,052 pounds. All the other schools have had but six collections except the East Broad which has had five. The total poundage turned in by the four schools up to last night was 297,385, giving an average of S3.56 pounds per child in school at the time the contest began, January 12th. As the contest does not close until next month it is very probable that the total collections among the four schools will be in the neighborhood, if not exceed 350,000 pounds.

Notice has been sent every business league on record in the state. Several favorable responses have been received. The formation of the State League will be quite a forward step in the business affairs of our people and will undoubtedly inspire the business interest among us. The many friends of Mrs. Ella Payne, of New York, formerly of this city and well known in missionary circles, will be glad to know that she is still actively engaged in church work, having just returned to New York after attending the annual conference of the C. M. B. church in Philadelphia, Bishop S. H. Hosley presided, assisted by Bishop R. A. Carter.

Foulard is often combined with Geor- Bette or organdy. In the sketen it is combined with white Georgette which 4s used for the soft, gathered vest and collar, of a very modish bolero dress of navy-bule dotted foulard. The pret- ty bolero style has come back to us, and this is one of the many attractive ‘modela in which it is seen. Some of the new summer snits “have short bol- ‘ero coats trimmed about the edge with some form of embroidery or stitching. A very smart model was made of blue twill and foulard. Foulard is put to other‘ uses besides the fashioning of dresses. It makes very effective trimming on suits; for instance, on collar,ecuffs and pockets. White dotted blue foulard combines well with nayy or sand-colored serge or twill. § x Speaking of the combinations of ma> terlals, one of the very newest effects is that of using organdy and net to- gether. And speaking of organdy, it is to be very popular this summer for entire dresses also .for trimming. A white net summer frock worn over a ‘pink organdy slip and trimmed with bands of pale pink organdy on the skirt was recently seen, A very cool ‘and refreshing frock for summer it looked. =~ : Silk Braid a Fashionable Trimming ‘The use of silk “braid is becoming more and more favored.

The capes are not the short variety that were used some sea- sons ago. They are very long, as long as the coat to which it is attached in most cases, and many of them are at- tached only at the back of a coat or dress. While being very smart, these capes have a practical value in that they haye extra warmth. In a very smart dress which combined dark blue satin and serge, a cape of serge was. attached at the shoulders. The lin- ‘ing of apricot-colored silk formed an effective background for the dark dress. Much of this satin and serge com- bination is being used again this spring, anid frocks of this kind-are especially practical for shopping and street wear.

Stitching is the tailored trimming used to accentuate the distinctive lines of this model. THE CARE OF THE | GROWING CHILD'S TEETH Fourth of a Series of Weekly Articles -On the Care of Young Children | By the end of the second year the baby should have his milk teeth com- | plete and until the six or seventh year, | when the permanent set will hegin to jappear, these teeth must srve all the ; Purposes that thé final set will serve later. Since this is the time the child is learning toe chew his food, a pro cess necessary not only for proper di- [cestion hut for the strengthening and developing of his” jaws and foré the proper growth of the permanent teeth, it is important to keep the first teeth jin the best possible working order, The condition of the teeth is a fair in; dex to the general health of the child. | Until the child is old enough to use x toothbrush himself. the mother eae wash bis teeth every day; but a» early as possible the child shou!d learn to care for bis own teers. If the tecth cannot conveniently be clean. after every meal, the mouth miv at Teast be rirsed. Children shod he taught that it is of special importance to wash the teeth after eating nuts, or any sweet, sticky, or pasty food. The teeth should be carefully cleaned at bed time since fermentation of food particles left in the mouth, which leads to the decay of the teeth, pro- veeds more rapidly at night, when the mouth igs still. ‘The chill should be taught to brush the teeth from the gum downward or upward toward the cutting edge.’ When the teeth are brushed crosswise, the tendency ix to push whatever is, on them into the cracks and crevices of the teeth or under the edges of the gums. The inner surface of the a should also be brushed up and down, and the grinding surface should be scrubbing {s finished the mouth should serabbong is finished the mouth should be thoroughly rinsed with warm water. Some hard food like a stalk of celery or part of a ripe jnicy app eleaten at | the end of a meal scours the surface | of the teeth and leaves a fresh clean taste in the mouth. Children shontd be taken, regularly to a iood dentist once or twice a year atter the first set of tecth is com- plete, If cavities apnenr they should , be filled with soft fillings, and each’ tooth should be saved as Jong as pos-; sible. If the temporary molars are: extracted hefore the sixth year molars come again, the latter will be ant to crow forward into the space left | cant, and when the later teeth come they will be pushed out of thelr regu- Jar places, destroying the natural line of the mouth The first molars furn- ish the grinding surfaces necessary 'to proper chewing-of the food. If ‘they fall out too soon the child is hardly able to chew hard or tough food, and ‘is likely to swallow such food in chunks. AEE | ‘The care of the child’s teeth is im- portant also because the health of the ‘ermanent set is largely dependent upon that of the first set. The second ‘teeth are much larger than the first ‘nnd consequently need more room in ‘te gum. For necessary development the jaws must be given plenty of ex- “ereise. Consequently the child should ‘have a mixed diet, including some hard fodd which he cannot swallow jwithout chewing. Toast, crusts, hard crackers, certain frults like apples, “salad, vegetables and meats should pro- ‘ylde the food elements needed for healthy tedih if the child Is thriving. MOREHOUSE COLLEGE NOTES Rey. Henry Lyman Morehouse, D. D. Passes Away s "Atlanta, Ga—Dr. Henry Lymar Morehouse «died last Saturday, Maj 5th. Dr. Morchouse was born in Stan ford, N. ¥., October 2, 1834. The first years of hi§ service were spent in the ‘ministry at various places in the East and West, and since that time and for about forty years he has been con stantly in the service of the American Baptist Home MisstonSoclety. Im. ‘mediately after ‘the beginning of his connection with the Society he devoted special attention to educational work among the Negroes of the South. The’ mere facts of the life of Dr. Morehouse give only a faint impression ‘ot the unique place he holds in the hearts of the Negro Baptists of the “South and of the Baptists throughout ‘the country. He has ever shown him- self a man of vision and true states- manship. He carried with hintSa wis- dom and hope that ever inspired his associates. His kindly spirit and great tact have accounted for his unusual success in dealing with the difficult problemis of Negro education. With full faith in the future he has ever companioned the cause of ‘those for whom he Iabored. Of such a mould wan the man whose very life has been an fuspiration and a benedletion, and whose name is now the emblem of all high purpose and noble resolve for every man who enters Morehouse Col- lege. We lament the pacaing of thig great soul—the man after whom our insti- tution is named, the man whose life and character we strive to emulate as 1deal for “Greater Morehouse.” The following resolutions have been passed by the teachers and students of the college: “Whereas, it has pleased the heaven- ly Father to take unto Himself our beloved friend and brother, Henry Ly- man Morehouse, and * “Whereas, we realize that in the death of Dr. Morehouse, who served the American Kaptist Home Mission Society for nearly forty years, the cause of missions and education loses a wise counsellor, a great-hearted ben- efactor' and a faithful friend, and “Whereas, we remember that thru- out his eight years of service Dr. More-| house has labored untiringly for the good of his country, and for the ad- vancement of the Kingdom of Christ, in sturdy pioneer effort in the West, in the making of great plans for the Baptist denomination, and in work for the Negro as for all other struggling péoples, ever proving himself a Christy ian statesman and a far seeing patriot, Now, therefore, be it | “Resolved: First, that we, the teach- | ers and students of Morehouse College in chapel assembled, do hereby ex- press Our great sense” of loss in the death of the man whose name our in- stitution bears, aud who has given It so much*of its best tradition; “Second, that we realize that not only our college, and not only Negro Baptist, but humanity at large has lost a friend; “Third, that we heee highly resolve to emulate this noble Christian example, and to seek ever to give our best to God, to our college and our native land.

Among the Masons Among the Masons The Grand Lodge will meet in Augusta. Tuesday morning June 19, 1917, at 9 o'clock. By mistake some cards were sent out dated June 12-13. Keep in mind that it is the third Tuesday in June. Those desiring homes must notify Bro. L. P. Bohler, care Post Office, Augusta, Ga. --- St. John the Baptist's Day is officially known and observed in Tennessee as "Widows' and Orphans' Day", the lodges and their members are requested to make donations on that day to the Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home of Tennessee, "as a thanks offering to Almighty God for the health, prosperity, mercy and peace that have been vouch-safed to them during the year" --- The Scottish Rite is a very exclusive body in England where there are only three Councils or Kudosh, and only ninety members who have attained the Thirty-second degree. An Important Office There is no appointment made by the Master of a lodge which is more important than the selection of Stewards. These brothers meet the candidate and prepare him for his entrance into the lodge. It is said that first impressions are the most lasting, therefore we should be very careful that the brethren selected to meet the candidate for the first time in our lodge should be brethren who will in no wise do or say anything that will cause a wrong impression to be given of the work of the lodge, and that they will guard against frivolous language or conduct that will react against the Fraternity. Many a brother has gained a wrong impression of the work of a lodge and has lost much of the beauty of the symbolism of the degrees by a careless word spoken by one of the Stewards.—Masonic Sentinel. We do not pray often enough, neither do we pray enough about the simple ordinary, daily experiences of life. It is far more dangerous to begin the duties of the day without thoughtful, earnest prayer than to face life's duties without food.—Exchange. --- Lesson of the Lodge It seems to me that one of the greatest penalties of the city is solitude. Thousands and tens of thousands pass on the crowded streets, but they are all strangers. Hearts may ache with sorrow or swell with joy or hope—but the crowd passes on. All the tragedy of the world may burden the soul, but the crowd knows it not or heeds it not—and goes on its way. The individual is a new Selkirk, alone in the midst of a vast sea of humanity. One comes to the Masonic Lodge and all is changed. The hurry and worry of life is eased. One finds his vision shifted from the grimness of the real to the contemplation of the ideal. Those who never lift up their eyes may never see the celestial city. Without ideals life becomes a phantasm of sordid money changers in the Temple hollowed eyed hunted men crouching over the machines, toilers in the fields with the curse of Adam dulling their faces and shriveling their souls. I am sorry that the story of the race is the story of the exploitation of man by his brother man. If the teachings of Masonry could universally be applied this would not be so. I love the poetry of the Masonic ritual, I respect its antiquity and honor its secrets—but more than all these things I find in Masonry the mighty appeal of universal brotherhood. It is often charged against Masonry as against other secret and fraternal orders that it does not represent the spirit of real democracy, that from its nature Masonry is exclusive and undemocratic. It may be said in reply that the most marked tendency of mankind is to associate in groups. This is true in school, in college life and in business and social life. Obviously one may not become a citizen of the world in the sense that he is an inmate of all men. Time is too fleeting, and the task is too great. Hence, it is natural that for his closer associates he choose those whose ways of life and thought are most congenial to his own. It then becomes a matter of attitude of the lodge or fraternity or association toward the world. Does it teach exclusiveness and lack of sympathy with the world, are its doctrines for the benefit of its votaries alone, or does it teach the great universality of life and the duty of men toward each other? I do not believe that any man who has received the rights and benefits of Masonry will be in doubt as to the answer.—Masonic Trestle Board. --- Why do we never tire of the repetition of Masonic ceremonial and ritual? For the same reason that we never tire of the same old gospel story, preached Sabbath after Sabbath from the same old Bible used by our fathers and their fathers before them; for the same reason that day after day youth whispers into the ear of beauty I love song that Adam sane to Eve in the Garden of Eden; for the same reason that summer follows winter, and refreshing rains the drouth and heat; because it is the Order of the Universe, the Divine Plan of the Grand Architect, who ordereth all things well.—Missouri Freemason. ```markdown ``` ATLANTA - UNIVERSITY NOTES Atlanta, Ga., May 8.—Atlanta University is doing an important civic service in its college extension work by giving wholesome and uplifting amusements free of charge to the Negro citizens of Atlanta. The undertaking in this respect is similar to the work done by Hull House in Chicago some years ago when it used the young Greeks of Chicago to present the ancient classical drama. Atlanta is undertaking a very wide service and a very significant role in the development of the Negro population of Atlanta. The University is not satisfied merely to complain of the cultural limitations of its constituents but it has begun upon a positive program. To compensate for the lack of opportunity to see plays under conditions of self-respect in the theatres of the of the city, the teacher of expression gives plays of the best sort every year. On a perfect moonlight night A Midsummer Night's Dream was the first success given out of doors. Nature has provided on the campus in a grove a perfect amphitheatre, so that many of those who saw these young people so skillfully perform this play, said they want to see it indoors again. Last week, near the close of a term's instruction, the class presented Hamlet, also free of charge. The chapel—the only auditorium the University has, was packet almost to suffocating with an eager audience that would have pleased the great master, William Shapespeare himself, if he could have looked into the faces of the audience; and we think he would not have been displeased with the acting. One who has seen the great actors give these plays is inclined to sigh at the temerity of young actors who wouldattempt tragedy; and the sigh is often justified. Nevertheless, there has been AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 50¢ UP STYLE 4523 J. B, BUTLER DEALER IN FAMILY GROCERIES SOFT DRINKS, ETC. DUFFY AND CUYLER STS. In good music, too, Atlanta University is doing missionary work. Free recitals of oratorios and choral classes bring to the Negro citizens of Atlanta an elevation of taste to offset the vulgarities of much of the popular music. At the next commencement former President Horace Bumstead will deliver the historical address covering the fifty years of the life of Atlanta University—the first Negro college established in Georgia. Dr. Washington Gladden of Cleveland, O., who once before preached the baccalaureate sermon, will be one of the orators, and Professor Monroe Work of Tuskeegee will be another.

Entered at the Post Office at Sayan nab, Georgia as second class Mail. or Saturday May 12th, 1917 SPLENDID EXIT The Health Department of Savan nah must justly feel a pardonabl pride in the splendid baby welfare ex Bibit which it bas so well prepares znd which has been on exhibition fo: the past two weeks—tirst at the De So ta, for the whites and during this wee! at Cusler Street school for colored peo ple. It is about the splendid“charater o: the exhibit itself that we wish especial iy to speak. We have. given mucir studs to exhibitions of this kind—the figu rative and picturesque expression of the vital facts of Ilfe~in all its phases— and, ordinarily it has been our obser. vation that the complexity and diff sulty of interpreting the facts and com. Parisons has well-nigh defeated aims and ends. No” so, in this exhibition lowever. One is at once struck with the simplicity of the charts, conveying the dread story of diseaso and death} there is 2 marked simple empbasis in every feature of the one great story and the graphic illustrations carry the facts home with serious impressions. ‘The work, both design and execution, rellects great credit upon the depart- ment of which Dr. Brunner fs the head. Ht demonstrates the high efficiency of this great coz-wheel in the munieipat anachinery and accounts’ for splendid results which Savannah has been Rebieving in heaith lines, in securing pure milk and pure food, and in prac- ucally eliminating certain diseases which used to be thought almost characteristic and necessary to this nection. The Health Department hag been a xreat help to the colored pepple—so particularly the victims of disease and poor living conditions, and we are pleased to note that our people are more and more taking advantage of the help which the health department Ys anxious to render. We can begin to see the coming of free clinics for poor colored people, a tuberculosis unitarium and a strong building or- dinance to prevont overcrowding af houses and to prescribe a comfortable 4nd sanitary type for tenant purposes. We are glad our people turned out in such large numbers to view the exbibit and to hear the splendid lectures, We are very grateful for the many sac- ritices which-the whole corps of Dr. ‘Brunner’s staff so willingly ahd- zeal- ously rendered. ‘ The great masses of colored people are urged to show their appreciation of these. splendid. efforts in thelr be- half by putting into execution the scores of little things which they may do 20 easily, by thinking just a Ut- tle—things which affect our well-be- dng so vitally. A MORE VITAL CONFERENCE ‘¥atal 85 Z000 conferences and con- erences on Negro migration may be, there {s a certain conference eminent: ly more vital and necessary. A con: ference to consider the wage scale for Negro labor of all classes in its relation to the ever-increasing cost of Mying is the vital thing just now, and Negro leaders are backward or un- mindful of conditions if they have not realized it. There are a fow fsolated instances of waze ineresses in Negro labor Froup’ hereabonts, but these are neg- Ugible in a discussion of this grave ques tlon. .Whaé 4s called for here ts not whether there have been nny Increases to mect the greater demands of living cost, but a just and open inquiry into the Negro wage scale in all employ- ments wherein large groups of. Nexroes work, : . We have noted, after careful investi- gation, that although the cost of fam- ily and indtvidual upkeep has in- creased in the past two and one-half years from sixty to seventy per cent, for the household of modest and con- Servative expenditures, the waze scale in more than half the occupations hus remained practically the same, while in a few cases small adrances bave been granted. ‘There ts so-little organization among Negro labor group that they have made few or no’ demands upon thelr employers. Many white groups have gud they Jave sur.e.ded in wresting from capital one concession afte an- other. The heads of white families in this) city are clinging to the old scale for; domestic servants, viz, four and five dollars for butlers and coachmen of chauffeurs, $10 to 12 per month for cooks and eight to ten dollars for maids. How can ‘the servants dq it, especially the women, many of whom are widows with children to support? How can they buy clothing, keep clean and make nt decent appearance on the job? * Some men, at mere ctage-play, for “eclat” and Hmelight, set upon some popular issue or fad that they may put thelr names before the public, with- out regard to the efficacy of the prop- osition they espouse, These have an Interest In real uplift. They love the applause and clap-trap of selfseckers like themselves. They do not think—they’ desire, merely. Unfortu; nately, too, like the ostrich, they raise enough sand to becloud the reat issue ant confuse the judgment of men of similar capacity and caliber, and less. Now, who will deny that as a first inquiry Into the causes of this unpar. allelled migration and Industrial un. ret the wage seale may not prove 2 very interesting subject? Who knows what an honest census‘of the pay rolls for Negro labor in factory, field and household will disclose? Is it fact or not that many Negroes are eyen’ How employedy, in factories, on public works, as teamsters and in various capacities as porters mes- sengers and the like, at wages of $1.95 and $1.50 per day. We know of many Justauces of it, even, in spite of the growing scarelty of labor. How many employers volunteer even a small increase to thelr Negro help, out of pure recognition of the necessity and justice of it under harder ‘condi- tlons? s Let’s see what $1.25 will do for a man of wife and two Shildren with no al- Towance for illness, and with twenty- five working days to the month at which rate 2 wageearner would get per month $31.25. His current fixed ex- penses are rent (for a common 4-room house $12.00, food (simple, staple) $15.00; insurance and. incidentals (this does not include carfare, amisements, soft drinks, ete), $3.00; making a total of $30.00, figured on the meanest and most niggardly basis. Ouly 2 poor grade of 4-room house, in undesirable locality, can be secuged for $12.00 and only very course food, with no extras, sutticient for two grown ups and two children. could be had for $15.. In the estimate a balance of $1.50 was left with the problem of fuel and cloth. ing untouched,—and these latter two ttre serious problems, especially in wine ter. 7 Here, then, is a splendid opportunity for investigation into the causés of unrest and discontent, and a chance to do a rea} service. at the right point. A GENERAL HOLIDAY The postponement of the School Races to June 4th, will give the child- ren and those who are to train them for thy various contests and exercises a better chance to get them into fine fettle. It will_also give the rank and file of the srown people, who enjoy the holiday and the festivities quite as much as the children, an opportunity to hetter arrange their affairs-to get away from their affairs and give themselves up fully to the day and the pastime it brings. = ‘A committee is working up a splend- ‘id plan for ‘carrying out @ worthy pa- triotic demonstration, in which all the people, men, women and children may take part, by wearing the national col- ors and singing the natfonal airs. A great parade passing through West road and other principal streets will precede the ceremonies at the Fair Grounds, and all ogantzations and asso- clations will have the chance to de- clare their loyalty and national feeling. The bands are already practising the great choruses and the childen in the ‘schools are rehearsing the natfonal songs and the ‘National Negro Hymn. Altogether the plan presents a fine opportunity for the people, the schools and the organizations, and we shall not be surprised if the crowds should ‘be greater than last year when over 7,000 attended. * The races Here. have attracted na- tional attention and organizations from far way citales have written here for the plan. They have been given wide publicity through the national head- quarters of the Urban League and Some cites have carried them out with «plend# success, . We are glad Savannah is taking the ‘ad ia so many enterprises for the welfare of the people; and it means ‘vat reat thiigs are fn store for the future’ _ A call is made to the eltizens at large to lay aside, so far as possible, every thing and give up Monday June 4th as a day of great enjoyment and cele- bration, > ROGERS HIGH TYPE- WRITING TEST RESULT The results were posted yester- day at the Rogers High school of another speed test in typewriting in the commercial department, held on May 2.

MEMBERSHIP CAMPAIGN A BIG SUCCESS ‘Savannnah Home Association Adds Eighty-2ight Members { The campaign for 100 new members by June 15th which was launched by the Savannah Home Association two ‘weeks ago is meeting with a big suc- cess and from the outlook it will go far beyond the anticipated number. The campaign fee is one dollar and seventy-five cents and many are tuk- ing advantage of the small amount and are applying for membership. At its meeting on last Wednesday night eighty-eight applications were pfe- ‘sented amounting to $132.00;dollars. It is the purpose of the organization to augment its membership inorder ‘that it may carry two hundredgyr mora in its triumphant march: from, its pres- jent locality to its new and comnfodious $15,000 club house which is nearing ‘completion and will be ready for occu- 'pancy about the middle of next month. “Phe carapaign ts stillen and the mem- ‘bers are making a city wide canvass ‘for destrables. The association is di- ‘vided into five cpmpantes, with Joseph ‘J. Brown as general. The captainy are Charles A. Burke, Wilton Wiggins, Julius Maxwell, James Woodson, and Chas Snuire. ‘The report of each com- pany is placed on a bulletin at the association headquarters and strenuous ‘efforts are belng ‘pot forth hy each captain and bis members to place his oan in the lerd. At the count on ‘Wednesday night, Capt. Maxwell's ‘company was leading by 2 margin of three over Capt. Wiggins. There are twenty members to 2 company and the race for the contested prize 1s ex- Jeiting. Should the Inereased member- ‘ship continue at the rate it {s"Zoing, it will probably make the organization ‘the largest of its kind in the city. COLORED CITIZENS OF _....

Y., May 5.—Final arrangements have been made for holding the annual conference of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in Washington, D. C. on May 16 and 17. Mr. Moorfield Storey, the national president, will preside at the evening meeting on the 16th to be held at the First Congregational Church, 10th and G streets, which will be addressed by Dean Wm. Pickens and Charles Edward Russell. The outstanding interest of the evening however, centers in the presentation of the third Spingarn Medal for distinguished service during 1916, which will be presented this year by Hon. Wesley L. Jones, United States Senator from Washington, a stanch friend of the Negro. The name of the candidate to whom the medal is awarded is not given out until the evening of the presentation. Last year it was awarded to Lieut. Col. Charles Young for his services in reorganizing the constabulary of Liberia; and the first medal was conferred upon Dr. E. E. Just for his original researches in biology. The afternoon of the 17th will be devoted to an open conference on the exodus and the pressing problems growing out of the war. Not only are our branches, but leaders and organizations of all kinds are cordially invited to take counsel with the N. A. A. O. P. Encouraging Activity Shown in Be half of Negro Education in South New York, N. Y., May 7—The trustees of the Anna T.

Emlen, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of Delaware College, Newark, Del.; Robert R. Moton, secretary of the Jeanes Fund Board, and principal of Tuskegee Institute; Hon. J. C. Napier, cashier of the Penny Savings Bank, Nashville, Tenn; Hon. R. L. Smith, president of the Farmers' Improvement Society of Texas; and Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who has been elected to the vacancy created by the death of Dr. Booker T. Washington. Other members of the board, not present on account of illness or pressing engagements (or business) elsewhere are: Dr. David G. Barrow, president of the University of Georgia; Mr. Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist and humanitarian; Dr. H. B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, Va.; Mr. Belton Gilreath, of the American Coal Corporation, Birmingham, Ala; Dr. H. T. Kealing, present of the Western University, Kansas; Hon Walter H.

It showed that a genuine wave of pro- $15,000 to be used in extending the operations of the Board. The Jeanes Foundation was made possible by the generosity of a wealthy Philadelphia lady, now deceased, who provided in her will that a fund of gress is being made throughout the Northland with reference to the educational development of the colored children in the rural districts of the various states. He reports that work is being done by the Jeanes Fund Board in 191 counties in the South, and 194 Jeanes Fund supervisors or teachers are in charge of the work. The board last year spent $38,199 for this work, and under its plan of co-operation with southern county superintendents an additional sum of $23,722.92 was paid from county public funds, a total of $61,921.92. This is a remarkable form of co-operation when it is recalled that five years ago nothing at all was contributed from the public funds for this important work, which is now being carried on in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisville, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. The trustees are gratified to announce that the General Education Board in recognition of the effective results secured in the South by the Jeanes Fund Board, has appropriated the sum of $1,000,000 from her estate should be devoted to the development of the schools for colored children in the rural districts of the South, the necessity to such aid being pointed out by the late Dr. Booker T.

OWEN STATE MAN', West Broad St ICE DELIVERY any quanti- art of the Y Delivery Service G YOU ICE APRIL 21st Phone 2287 PAGE FIVE 0 PAGE SIX Baltimore, Md.—I desire to express my thanks to Mrs. M. J. Rivers, of New Barn, N. C., for the card which she sent me expressing interest in the things which I have written in the paper from time to time, declaring that she was deeply interested in the amount of riding I am doing and what I am saying to the people. It is indeed kind in her to do this. It is true, that all people like to have people say a kind word, and if they are really doing anything they like to have you tell them about it, and when they do the next thing they like to make it just a little better each time. I am feeling like I want to write my hands off this week, but then that would no do. I have written to the lady and she has my letter are this. I have had the pleasure of meeting a few people since I have been in this part of the country and just last week, I went to Philadelphia, Chester, Pa., Washington, D. C., and now I am in Baltimore, but will not be here when you read this letter, but perhaps will be in Portsmouth, or on the way to the extreme south again, for I am going to Jacksonville, Fla., and a letter will reach me there sent care Prof. N. W. Collier, Fla. Baptist College. I had the pleasure of meeting, Rev. L. G. Jordan, D. D., of Philadelphia secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the National Baptist convention, and perhaps one of the greatest secretaries in the country. He has just return from West Africa where he has been to inspect the work being done by his church and people. He is a master in the church work. It took a brave, and a man who could trust in God to cross the Atlantic at this time. Dr. Jordan made the trip and has returned home and I tell you the people of Philadelphia turned out and gave him some reception. I like to see people give men flowers when they can smell them, and not "cuss" them while they live and heap flower upon them when they die. Let me know what you think of me now, especially if you think well of me, and then I can let my other friends know. Such were the expressions to Dr. L. G. Jordan. One man, in telegraphing to the reception committee said: "With testimonial of appreciation we heartily applauded the home coming of the greatest service man in the world for the kingdom of God. A modern Paul debtor to the wise and unwise, the Reverend Dr. L. G. Jordan, corresponding secretary of N. B. C." This was signed by Rev. A. W. Ross of Fulton, Mo. There were many other letters and telegrams, extending welcome to the returned secretary, and congratulating him. The committee on the reception consisted of Revs. C. C. Scott, chairman; J. M. Moses, J. T. Smith, P. H. Hughes, W. G. Parks, A. R. Robinson, J. C. Jackson, J. R. Bennett, secretary. Not only did they have big speeches, but they had some big supper. A regular banquet supper, and one I shall never forget as long as I shall remain in this world. The Rev. Dr. W. T. Hall, presided, and the Rev. Dr. Motils made the opening prayer, and the first address was delivered by Dr. J. R. Bennett. This is not what I started out to say. Dr. Jordan is at the head of the real work being done in Africa for our people. He is a preacher like Paul, and on his very heart tests the work he is doing. He is not a well man, now but let us all pray and hope that he will be himself again. Cross the ocean, no doubt chased by submarines, and other things dealing death to a nation, he made it, and no doubt he was deprived of many nights sleep. I shall not stop to tell you all of this and you must not expect me to. He is now getting ready for the great meeting to be held by the Baptists in June, in Atlanta, Ga. It will be one worth while and then attention will be turned to the National Baptist convention to meet in Muskogee, Okla. In face of the war, the people are getting ready to have the Baptist bombard Muskogee with their naval forces. They will take the Baptist boats right up into the capital of the nation, and there we will be heard from. While in Philadelphia, I had the pleasure of visiting the Zion Baptist church, Rev. W. H. Moses, D. D., pastor and he is some pastor. The people are just crowding into that town. They are just doing things up in great shape. He is a preacher, a pastor and one busy man. I met Dr. W. F. Graham, Dr. A. R. Robinson, and so many others whose names I do not remember just now. These were all Baptist preachers. Back to Chester where I met Miss B. V. Killson, a dressmaker and worker in the A. M. E. church. I mention her because she wrote a letter for me, and put on some buttons where they were needed. She took delight in doing these things for me. I have told you about Dr. J. R. Bennett and his wife, and his people. I made a trip from there to Bordentown, N. J., where is located the Bordentown Industrial school. This is a state school for our people, and at the head is Prof. Valentine. I am sure they must keep a close watch on him February 14. He is doing a great work down at this place. This is indeed a fine plant, and one of the finest in the country. The students are not up in the mousands. Just about two hundred of them. It was a source of pleasure to find the widow of the late N. H. Plus there. She is matron and teacher. She is working hard, dealing with girls. I did not get the names of all the teachers, but it will come to me another time. This is a state school, and they are making good of their opportunities. From Bordentown into the reception, then I left next morning for Washington, D. C., where I found many people waiting to get to seeme, and of course I looked at them but they did not have anything to say. I have had the pleasure of meeting the new pastor of Metropolitan A. M. E. church in Washington, Rev. C. M. Tanner, and the new pastor of Bethel A. M. E. church, Baltimore, Md., Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, D. D., who is one preacher directly from the place where they manufacture preachers. I was delighted to see this wonderful man. Of course he belongs to our race, and there can be no doubt. Dr. Brooks comes from Wichita, Kansas. He is one of the greatest church buildings men I have ever met, and then he knows how to raise money, and at the same time he knows how to preach. There is some debt on Bethel A. M. E. church, and he is going to let them know that there is a man there. He is going to so reduce that debt in the next three years, that the general conference will see the necessity of such a man. But that is a long distance from here, and I shall say something about it later. Leaving Virginia next week, I am going right onto Florida, and you will find me in a short time way down in Texas. C.J. Hardstew. NEGRO LABOR EXODUS CAUSES CRISIS IN SOUTH West Point, Miss.-At a mass meeting of West Point and Clay county citizens, the labor situation, resulting from the departure of thousands of Negroes for the North, was discussed. A resolution was passed providing for the appointment of a committee of 20 to inform each labor agent in the county that his business is ruinous to the county and also to request him to desist from recruiting Negro labor for other parts of the country. The labor situation in may parts of Mississippi is approaching a crisis. In fact, the whole of the South is being aroused by the daily exodus of laborers, and action, similar to that taken at the West Point meeting, is being urged in other places. Some of the more conservative employers advise less drastic action. It is pointed out that the labor agents have the protection of the law and that complications will inevitably result if the citizens proceed with the single idea that the only way, in which they can hold their labor, is by literally ejecting the agents from their districts. Making conditions in the South more attractive to the Negro laborer will, it is said, be a more peaceful means of forcing labor agents to close his doors. Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay Efficiency in the performance of duties, matters not what those duties are, must be looked for as much in the twentieth century Negro as they are looked for in any other people, regardless to the color of their skin. The worth of efficiency can not be circumscribed, nor does it belong to any particular race of people. The man who is efficient in his special line can no more be set aside, in so far as his particular work is concerned, than one can prevent the dew from falling in Dixie. We are prepared to cite numerous extraordinary cases of the efficiency of Negroes in their special lines, which have challenged the admiration of fair-minded and unbiased men, without regard to race or color, who have had the privilege of coming in contact with these Negroes and the efficient work which they were doing along their special line. registering and placing themselves in a position to resent an insult, or insults which voteless people are bound to be subjected to any and everywhere. We wish here to call our readers' attention briefly to the twentieth century efficiency, as seen in what is generally conceded to be the finest barber shop in the known world. The more than thirty thousand dollars spent at one time in renovating the interior of this beautiful place by its owner, Capt. A. F. Herndon, was gotten together thru perseverance, hard work, patience, and last, but by no means least, efficiency. W. JOHNSTON, PH. Let me teach you to be a school is open to any who education. I can have you teach you by mail or by p By efficiency, the Wage Earners Savings Bank has grown from a small loan concern, which started with one hundred and two dollars in 1900, to a regular savings bank, supervised and examined periodically by the state bank examiners of Georgia, which examiners showed in their report on the 20th of March, this year, at the close of business; that the Wage Earners Savings Bank had resources to the amount of $333,707.30. In this weekly letter, we simply mention these two great big things owned, operated and controlled by Negro brain and money, which had their small beginning like many other nthigs, but strict application to business, and efficient service rendered to the patrons of both of them, they stand out today, as beacon lights to other concerns of similar nature saying to them: "Thru Efficiency it can be Done." It is very distressing indeed to Negro business men who are thinking and planning for bigger and better things for the young men behind them, when they are told by men of the cotton exchange, by proper authorities of the Merchant's National bank, by the naval stores men and many other such concerns along the Bay and in the big banking center of the city, "When Jno. F. Jones, Phillip Smith, Andrew Monroe, M. G. Robertson and a number of such men of the race leave the responsible positions which they occupy now, and which places many of them have held for more than forty years, they will have passed from the race forever. These things are mentioned with the hope that the young men of the race will see to it that they become more efficient in whatever line they may engage.

BAPTIST MINISTERS' UNION The Baptist Ministers' Union held its regular weekly meeting Monday at First A. B. Church, Franklin square, Rev. Wm. Gray, presiding. Rev. J. S. Moody conducted the devotions. After the reading and confirming of the minutes of the previous meeting, unfinished business was disposed of. Under the head of new business Rev. D. M. Bunn was discussed, concerning the Savannah ministry and on account of such he is debarred from visiting the union any more, as we feel the act was wholly unwarranted. F. A. B. CHURCH, BOLTON STREET Large crowds have been attending First A. B. Church, West Broad and Bolton streets. Rev. Elijah N. Bunn, of Washington, D. C., who is supplying the pulpit for ninety days is drawing large attendances. Last Sunday morning he spoke on "Three reasons why I am devoted to Jesus." The subject at the night service was "Getting acquainted with the man that lives under your hat." The sermon made a deep impression on the eager crowd. Rev. Bunn's subject for tomorrow will be "The unquenched fire of a mother's love" and at night "Why the prodigal returned."

It certainfy docs seem strange te Lave no tesson ziven from John sly or avi, but we must vet pass them by Te fs true that part of chapter siv was eusgested Im connoetion withyhe tast review, but that gave no opportunity for the study of such a chapter. In the end of yesterday's lesson chapter Peter Insisted that he was ready to lay down his Ufe for Christ's sake, but the Lord, who kueww all that was in bim, sald that the eock would not crow before Peter would thrice @eny Him (sill, 36-38, 1 our Lord immeilately added the words, “Let not your heart be troubled," and the words following He would seem to say AL though I know you so'well, Peter, and bow weak you ure. I would not bave you troubled, for some day [ will get yout all home to the mansions prepared for you, and then there will be ne more failure on sour part, but you will each Lave a throne and reign with me over the tribes of Israel (Luke xvil 29, 30), It is truly pathetic to hear Him say to Phillp, “Have 1 been so long a time with you, and set bast thou not known Me?” (sir, 9.) But that was His continual lament. Israel doth not know. They know not the thoughts of the Lord. If thou hadst known; O righteous Father, the world hath not known Thee (Isa. 1, 3; Mic. tv, 12; Luke xix, 42; John xvil, 25). If we only knew Him, and through Him the Father, how, very different the life of a bellever would be! If the Com- forter, the Spirit of Truth, had full control of us, then the peace of God would’ rule in our hearts. We would nelther be troubled nor afrald. We would ask and receive to the glory of God, and it would be manifest to otb- ers that the Father, Son aud Holy Splr- it were making their home In us (xiv, 18, 14, 16, 17, 23, 26, 27), The one thing that we are here for, as the Lord's redeemed ones, 1s to bear fruit, more fruit, much fruit, that He may be glorified (xv, 1-8). The fruit of the Spirit 1s fully described in Gal. v. 22-25, and all else is from the evil one. the prince of this world of John xiv, 80. According to Ezek. Xv, the vine is good for nothing if It does not bear fruit, for nothing can be made of the wood of it. : In Pa, xxx, 8-15, Israel te spoken of as a vine out of Egypt which filled the Iand and covered the bills, a vine- yard which His right band had plant- ed, but which the enemy had wasted. In Isa. v, 1-7, He again speaks of Is- racl as His vineyard and the men of Judah His pleasant plant and asks, “What could have been done more to my Vineyard that 1 bave not done in it?" Then He expresses surprise that instead of the grapes He should have had she gayo Him only wild grapes; instend of righteousness, oppression. All fs only failure, and always failure on man's side, and never but in one instance could the Father say, “In Him I am well pleased,” and only He could say, “I do alwaya those things that please Him” (Matt, xvil, 6: John vill, 29). He fs the True Vine, the ‘True Bread, the True Light, the ‘True Tabernacle, the Truth. He never fall- ed in any detail of His life, and He cannot fail to accomplish all that He has purposed. He 1s also the Branch of the Lord, beautiful and glorious, David's righteous Branch, the King who shall relgn and prosper; the serv- ant the Branch; the man whose name 4s the Brauch, who shall build the tem. Dle of the Lord (Isa. iv, 2; Jer. xxill, 5; Zech. iM, 8: vi, 12. He fs the only source of all fralt, for apart from Him we aro nothing and can do nothing (verse 5), and He {s our only example. As the wise busbandman prunes bis vines, even though they bleed, and ties them up and trains them as seems best to him, we most not think Him unwise or unkind if He deals so with us, but consider Him who endured for us; who, though He weré a Son, yet learn. ed obedience by the things which He suffered (Heb. xi!, 3; v, 8). As He lived in His Father's love, 50 He would have us live in His Jove and remem- ber that, love ts always Kind (verse, 9 and I Cor. xii, 4). It should not be difficult to let such love have Its own way with us; but, not having always the assurance that it is love, because it does not look to us Uke ft, we waver and fail. Hudson Taylor thought that {t ts weakness that abides, so If we are consciously weak we may always ablde.

Both boys mixed it up fast for the first six rounds without either getting a distinct advantage, However, in the seventh Young Dixon cut loose an avalanche of upper cuts and jabs that bewildered his ten pound heavier oppo- neht a nd which almost scored for him a knockout, Grant could not fathom the speedy Savannahian’s attack and the bell alone saved’ him from going down. The house was wild at the be- ginning of the last round and yelled to the popular, little fighter to bring forth the sleep poducer. He respond- ed willingly but could not quite put enought power behind his licks to do the trick, his left hand falling in its hitting power. A series of jabs and upper cuts found thelr mark and the South Carolinian was groggy when the gong sounded.
