The STATE BUSINESS LEAGUE FORMED A. B. SINGFIELD ELECTED FIRST PRESIDENT Negro Business League Weekly Letter By J. C. Lindsay In response to the call issued by the Savannah branch of the National Negro Business League, thru its representative, Sol. C. Johnson, chairman of the state organization committee, twenty-four of the most representative Negro business and professional men in the state met in the office of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Company and organized a state league, which promises to be of great and untold benefit to the Negroes in Georgia, who are putting forth honest endeavors to impress the other fellow that Georgia business Negroes know what business is, and know how to make things go. In calling the meeting to order, preparatory to organizing, Sol. C. Johnson, who was elected temporary chairman, spoke at length of the importance of Georgia business and professional Negroes being so thoroughly organized, that on a very short notice they could touch one another from one end of the state to the other, and each would mutually and sympathetically understand what the other was endeavoring to do. One of the most remarkable things in connection with the permanent organization of the Georgia State Negro Business League was the absence of the would be orator, and the fraternal and political parliamentarian. During the entire session, which lasted for more than an hour, there was never a point of order raised on any speaker, regardless to what he said or how he said it. There was also another noteworthy fact in connection with the organization, which was favorably commented upon by all of the men present, namely, that each man was anxious to honor his fellow, to the exclusion of himself. No man present seemed to have been anxious for office, but on the other hand every man seem to have been anxious that every city in the state represented in the organization meeting be given official recognition. In short, it was a great meeting. Many of the men present, representing various cities, told of the great good their local leagues were doing, which was interesting indeed. Dr. R. Cary, of Macon, told of some of the experiences thru which his local league has passed, together with some of the things which it has accomplished, which information alone would be sufficient pay for the time spent in organizing a state Negro Business League in Georgia. Many such interesting talks were made by Messrs. Carlton W. Gaines, Jno. Henry Adams, J. G. McGraw, and Dr. J. J. Creagh, of Waycross; Drs. H. R. Butler, R. H. Carter, R. M. Reddick, R. S. Dothard of Atlanta; Dr. J. G. Kyle of Cordale; Banker L. E. Williams; Attorney J. G. Lemon; Drs. J. W. Jamerson, A. S. Lafayette, and Messrs. W. L. Blunt, G. H. Bowen and A. B. Shugfield, all of Savannah, made real interesting talks, showing the good to be accomplished by such an organization. The officers of the organization are: A. B. Singfield, president, Savannah; Carlton W. Gaines, 1st vice president, Waycross; Dr. R. R. Hawes, 2nd vice president, Macon; R. H. Carter, M. D. 3rd vice president, Atlanta; R. Carey, M. D., 4th vice president, Macon; Dr. A. W. Livingston 5th vice president, Statesboro; J. C. Lindsay, secretary, Savannah; W. L. Blunt, assistant secretary, Savannah; J. C. McGraw, treasurer, Waycross; auditors: W. W. Hill, Savannah, and Jno. Henry Adams, Waycross; executive committee: Dr. J.J. Creagh, Waycross, G. H. Bowen Savannah; Dr. J. W. Jamerson, Savannah; L. D. Williams, Savannah, Sol. C. Johnson, Savannah. One of the real accomplishments of the newly organized Georgia State League, was that it adopted, as its official organ The Journal of Negro Business, published at Waycross, Ga., and edited by Jno. Henry Adams, of that place. Annual Meeting The annual meeting of the Georgia State Negro Business League will be held at the same time and place as the Colored Medical Association of Georgia. So our next meeting will be in the city of Macon the third Tuesday in May, 1918. By this arrangement, as you will see, gives a good attendance for both organizations, and VOLUME XXXII ODD FELLOWS HELD THANKSGIVING SERVICE Sunday Afternoon at First Bryan Baptist Church In accordance with its usual custom, the local lodges of the Grand United order of Odd Fellows, the Patriarchy, Past Grand Masters' Council and the Households of Ruth held their thanksgiving service on last Sunday afternoon at First Bryan Baptist church. The lodges gathered at Duffy street hall and walked in a body to the church, while the members of the household assembled in the lecture room. Mr. C. M. Brinson who delivered the address outlined very ably the differences in commercialism and fraternalism. Rev. Daniel Wright preached a strong and able sermon and dwelt on the necessity of the members having courage and endeavor to place the order on a strong business basis. His talk was very inspiring and well received. The other participants on the program along with Mr. M. W. Bryan acquitted themselves admirably. It is to be regretted, however, that the attendance was not like former years. The old spirit was lacking and the members failed to inject the enthusiasm that was once so prominent. WELCOME RECEPTION AT SECOND BAPTIST CHURCH The program of the welcome reception at the Second Baptist church, Friday night, May 25th, under the auspices of the Cheerful Workers, is as follows: Devotion, Chorus, Second Bapt.

SWANGIN N. & I INSTITUTE CLOSES NEXT WEEK The closing exercise of Swangin Normal and Industrial Institute will take place Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights of next week at the F. A. B. Church, Bolton and West Broad streets. The school has had a very successful term and a large crowd will doubtless witness the closing exercises which will be as follows: Wednesday night—Anthem, "Praise the Lord"; invocation, Rev. Dan, Wright; recitation, "Labor", Marguerite James; solo, Viola Williams; voyage of life; male chorus, Charlie Smith and others; recitation, "Value of thought", Mary Jackson; "Abide with me" Louise Moss; recitation, Education" Agnes Collier; solo, "A dream of the Holy City" Henry Parlin; recitation "Mind" Sarah Redd; solo "Alone with Christ" Eddie Brown; class prophecy, Richard Gaston; jubilee chorus, Sarah Redd and others; school historian, Ophelia McIver; address, Mr. J. C. Lindsay; presentation of diplomas, Miss D. L. Swangin; class song; National Negro Hymn. Mrs. Lizzie Gadsden was among the party of nine ladies who left by rail Thursday for New York. From there she will go to Elizabeth, N. J.. In the mean time, will mean the securing of reduced rates on all rail roads in the state. It might be well, just at this point to explain why both secretary and president were chosen from one and the same city. This was done in order that the president and secretary might always be in close touch with each other, so as to better do the work of the state organization. Now that we have a state organization, let every town and city in the state of Georgia, see to it that they organize at once, a local league, and be ready to send a representative to the state league, which will meet in the city of Macon May 1918.

Among the speakers was City Health Officer Brunner, whose talk, as usual, had a genuine ring of interest in the welfare of the Negro. He complimented the members of the Negro medical profession for the excellent strides they had made in the last ten years and also took occasion to thank the local practitioners for the whole-souled and hearty co-operation they have given him in his work of safe-guarding the health of the community. He extended a cordial invitation to the visitors to visit the city bacteriological laboratories, Dr. W. A. Harris, president of the local society of doctors, presided at the meeting. Wednesday morning found the convention in business session, the physicians meeting at St. Philip A. M. E. church and the dentists at the office of Dr. A. P. Williams, 719 1-2 West Broad street. In the former, the first hour was taken up with registration of members, reports and demonstrations, the last hours being confined to the reading and discussion of papers. Dr. N. W. Este, of Hawkinsville, acting president of the occasion, presided. The dentist's meeting was one of much interest, an excellent address on "Dental Caries", by Dr. L.

The officers of the American Farm Banner are preparing for a record breaking campaign this fall. while the dentists performed their work at Dr. William's office. The clinic at Charity Hospital was a very interesting one and was attended by a very large number of visiting and local physicians. Dr. W. F. Penn, of Atlanta, occupied the place of honor, performing the operation on a female subject, which was considered a very difficult one. He was assisted by Dr. Loring R. Palmer, also of Atlanta, while Dr. R. H. Brooks, of Rome, had charge of the anaesthetizing. Wednesday night found both wings of the convention in a joint public meeting at St. Philip A. M. D. church. The principal features of the meeting were an address by the Rev. Wm. L. Cash, pastor of the First Congregational church, a paper on "Better Bables" by Dr. C. C. Middleton of this city and the annual address by Dr. N. W. Este of Hawkinsville, all of which elicited much applause from the large audience. Music was furnished by the church choir and the St. Cecilia club, which also rendered several selections the previous night. Miss Nettle A. Houston and Mrs. Rosa McDonald rendered vocal solos. Thursday noon the joint convention met in the final session at St. Philip church; the previous hours of the day being taken up by the two sessions in the election of officers and other routine work. The principal feature of the final meeting was an address by Dr. Hubbard, president of Meharry Medical College, the adoption of resolutions and the selection of the next meeting place. Dr. Hubbard's address was listened to with much interest and he was several times interrupted in his intensely interesting talk by prolonged applause. He touched briefly upon the loyalty of the Negro to the stars and stripes and said that in the crisis he felt that the Negro professional man would be (Continued on Perg. Fight) Urges Removal Of Color Line Urges Removal Of Color Line BOSTON EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE MAKES APPEAL Asks Thaths Whites of Country Give Race Proscription and Percution Washington, D. C., May 3—Congressman George Holden Tinkham today called upon President Wilson at the White House and presented a memorial from the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, urging the immediate removal of all restrictions upon citizens of color who are seeking training as officers in the reserve corps, and disclaiming any charge of disloyalty to the United States in its present conflict because of the denial of rights to majority of them. The memorial in part requests that, in the presence of a common danger and common obligation due to "a war devastating Europe because of racial clannishness and racial hatred, that the United States and the people thereof give up race proscription and persecution at home and that the door of the workshop, the school, the college, the civil service, the navy, the military school, and the naval school, now and forever, be open alike to every citizen of the republic without regard to race and without discrimination of color, and that the right to travel, to vote and to have court protection be free without harrier or denial."

NEGROES TO DEMAND WORK AT CHARLESTON NAVY YARD Negro Women Refused Work at Government Clothing Factory The announcement from officials in charge of the clothing factory at the Charleston navy yard that only white women would be employed as operators, in spite of the insistent demand of colored women in the last two days that they be employed, was published in the daily papers in this city, and has met with instant protest from the Negroes of the community. The statement made last night by representatives of the Negroes, was that demands had been made on the recorder of the labor board at the navy yard for application blanks for employment, and at the post office and the office of the director of labor in the custom house, but the response has been that no Negroes would be employed at the clothing factory. The reasons given, it was said, were those advanced already by officials at the yard, that there could be no mingling of the races, and there was no provision for segregation. On the other hand, the Negroes claim that as American citizens, in a national emergency called upon to do their patriotic duty in offering themselves for employment at a government plant, they have the same right to employment in the clothing factory as the white people. The further claim is made that the new building of the clothing factory, to be opened June 1, will need 600 operators, and they can fill the building with Negro women, thus avoiding any mingling of the races. The officials of the clothing factory in a statement last night, say that if there is any discussion in regard to employment the Navy Department will move the clothing factory and Charleston will lose the benefit of a finely equipped, efficient plant that means a great deal to this community in many ways. They indicate that there will be no backward step in their attitude to employ only white women in the factory, as outlined in their statement published yesterday, and that the contention of the Negroes for employment will only lead to a disagreement that will mean the loss of the factory to Charleston. There the matter stands. The Negroes state that they have made preparations for a determined fight for what they consider their rights. The matter is one, they claim, that affects their rights as citizens of the United States, and they will carry the fight to the highest court in the land to effect a settlement. The navy yard clothing factory officials say that the matter is already closed; as far as employment of the Negroes is concerned, and they will stand back of the announcement made that there shall be only white women employed in the factory. Yesterday an effort was made by the Negroes to obtain application blanks at the post office, at the office of the director of labor in the custom house and the office of the recorder of the Inhor board at the navy yard. A black Negro woman was sent to each place. She was refused. Directly following her a light colored Negress asked for an application blank, and was given one at each place. The Negro leaders, who instigated the requests, immediately asked why one was refused and the other granted blanks. The answers were identical, that in the case of the light colored Negress the impression was that she was a white woman—otherwise she would not have been given the blank. Thus, the Negroes claim, it is made plain that the Negroes will be refused blanks. The Negroes are calling for 1,000 of their race to apply today for application blanks for employment at the clothing factory. They say that one of three applicants may be thrown out by the labor board, and thus at least 600 of their race will be given the opportunity of employment in the clothing factory.—The Charleston American. WAYCROSS BOOSTERS The enterprises, and progressiveness of the colored business and professional men of Waycross are too well known to be again stated. Representatives of their spirit were in the city this week in the person of Mr. Carlton W. Gaines, president of the Penny Savings and Loan Company; Mr. J. C. McGraw, the substantial business man; Dr. J. J. Creagh, the popular dentist and Mr. J. II. Adams, the artist and correspondent. It is difficult to come across a liver set of business boosters. Their friends endearment to make it pleasant for them while in NUMBER 37 PLANS FOR THE RACES MATURING PLANS FOR THE RACES MATURING SINGING OF THOUSANDS TO BE INSPIRING FEATURE Officials of the Day Are Listed Below Plans for the sixth annual school children's races are fast maturing, and by early next week everything will be ready for the grand citizen's patriotic parade, which, beginning at 2 p. m. at West Broad and Gwinnett streets, will usher in the ceremonies which are to take place on this unique occasion. With permission by a brass band and drum corps the line of march of citizens, business men, officers and members of fraternal orders, their carriages, automobiles and other vehicles, dressed in the national colors and insignia, will move along West Broad street. Several large auto trucks will be provided to transfer the scores of children dancers from the playgrounds, kindergartens and public schools and the participants in the races. All these children will be dressed in dancing costumes or running uniforms. The playground and kindergarten children will gather at 2 p. m. at the playgrounds and the contestants at their various schools. There the truck will call for them. The races management has already begun the weighing and classification of the theocestatives at The Tribune. Others are urged to go at once for this record. Mr. J. C. Lindsay has distributed several thousands of tickets during the week and a wide sale is expected. Prizes of $8, $5 and $3 are to be offered to the schools or individuals representing the school, selling the largest numbers of tickets. The dancers from the playgrounds and kindergarten will preform on a hugh platform erected for the purpose at the grounds, and will be in plain view of all the spectators. The various schools are practicing the national Negro Hymn and the nationalalairs and a great scene is expected when that vast assembled throng shall join in singing this music. Thousands of our own people have never witnessed a great patriotic demonstration, nor heard the National Negro Hymn, and these are expected to take advantage of this occasion. The committee on parade, Messrs H. Burke, J. A. Monroe and J. C. Lindsay, report that nearly, if not, all the business men will close their doors giving their clerks and employees a half holiday for the occasion. Some of these will favor their forces with carriages in the parade. Everyone will wear the United States flag. There will be plenty of refreshments on hand and the grounds afford ample provision for complete comfort for the people. There is plenty of parking space for carriages and other vehicles. A general admission fee of 10 cents is charged for all, the proceeds to go to the Urban League, and it is expected that fully ten thousand persons will pass the Fair Grounds gates. The following are the officials for the events: Judges—O. C. Clayborne, D. J. Scott, A. S. LaFayette. Surgeons—E. J. Smith, F. S. Beleher. Scorers—C. C. Middleton, M. Jones, recording; S. A.

PAGE TWO Jersey Cloths Still Holp Sway Jersey Cloths Still Holp Sway Silk and Wool Jersey Are Used in Combination COOL SUMMER VOILES APPEAR IN NUMBERS New York, May 16—All through the spring, one of the materials that has kept steadily increasing in popularity is wool jersey. It has been used for coats and suits, for one-piece dresses, separate skirts and for middy blouses. It has been braided, stitched, and even beaded just like all the other smart materials. Colored heads combined with 'silk' is the latest form of decoration to which jersey has taken. As summer approaches, there is not the slightest indication that wool jersey is on the wane. But, on the contrary, one seems to see more and more of it every day. On a dress that could not possibly be too warm for summer, it was combined with dotted crepe in © MCCALL Invitingly Cool is a Flowered Voile Frock with Soft Pleats and Puffed Pockets the following manner: pink crepe with white polka dots made the waist and sleeves; the waist extended down to the hip line, and from there down- ward the skirt was the white wool jersey. There was a small yoke of white jersey at the neck of the dress. This is one of the novel ways in which this popular material is used. White jersey suits bound with white silk braid or trimmed with black and white check are in very good style at present. They look cool and summery. All shades of gold and mustard are high in favor and especially so in the jersey cloths. Lavender and purple in jersey cloth are also among the popular colors of the hour. Gold silk jersey has been combined most successfully with gray wool jersey in some suits and dresses, and with dark tan wool jersey in others. This combination of silk and wool jersey is frequently used by the best dressmakers. In some loose-fitting suits, with knee-length coats, the silk is used for the sleeves, side and back of the coat, and the wool for bands down the front and around the bottom of the coat, as well as for the skirt. Cool Summer Volles Cool and refreshing summer voles in dainty flowered effects are charming for the informal cotton frocks, of which every woman requires several for the distressingly hot day. Now is the time to get them made. The styles are generally simple. Pleated tucked or gathered skirts combined with the simplest of waists having a little fullness at the shoulders with an attractive collar edged with lace or matching picot edging. Soft pleats finishing off with a heading at the top of the skirt are unusually pretty, as shown in the sketch. The puffed pockets are a charming novelty especially suited to this type of summer frock. A long collar of white or gray provides the finishing touch in this dainty hot-weather frock. It is the collar that makes the blouse in a great many cases. Large capellite collars falling in points over the shoulders and continuing down the front of the waist are now being worn. A blouse with one of these new collars is also traited. It is "signed of white organdy, which is being used a great deal for blouses. The kirt that accompanies this blouse is one of the smart wool plaids. It has pockets sections at the sides, giving a graceful draper effect. Plaids are lovely for sports skirt Plaids are lovely for sports skirts and for other kinds of skirts, too. They are worn with short coats of a plain material and with slip-on blouses for sports use. The New Mannish Shirtwaist Mannish shirtwaists are growing in favor. Some models of linen are made with finely tucked fronts, like those of a man's shirt. In addition to these tucks, there are little sprays embodied in color of some of the waists and turnover collars of pique. © MCCALL A White Organdy Waist is Smart with a Plaid Skirt As separate waists and skirts grow more and more important there are always some novelties to be found among them. White tub skirts of cotton gabardine are made with yokes of colored linen, and where the skirt is attached to the yoke there are several rows or machine stitching done in heavy colored cotton the color of the yoke. White skirts with green, blue or orange-colored yokes are quite effective. A strong military note is observed in suits of manish cut for women. The coats are short and plentifully provided with pockets like those on a soldier's uniform. These suits are developed in dark blue, and khaki-colored materials. Perhaps the military spirit is also responsible for the combination of the blue and red so frequently seen. Blue dresses are embroidered with red beads or red silk, and in some very striking models there are entire sleeves of red with, perhaps, pockets on the skirt showing a bright lining of red. Hats also show the red and blue combination, generally in touches of red on blue straw. CLOTHES FOR THE GROWING CHILD Fifth of a Series of Weekly Articles on the Care of Young Children Very much of the comfort of a child depends upon his having the right kind of clothing. This is especially true in summer. One hot day a mother came into an infant-welfare station in a large city bringing a screaming baby who would not be pacified. The trained and sympathetic eye of the nurse in charge saw that the little feet were covered with knitted woolen socks. She asked the mother to take them off. Immediately the screaming ceased and the baby stretched his naked feet in delight at being relieved of the intolerable irritation. During the hot months children should wear just as little clothes as possible. Babies require only a diaper and one other garment, while run-about babies and children up to five will be amply clothes in waist and drawers, with one outer garment, preferably a cotton slip, apron, rompers, or one of the many similar garments illustrated in the pattern books. The one-piece dress is a great boon to busy mothers, being easy to make and to wash and iron. If the klimona sleeve is used, the dress will be cooler but in some garments the set-in sleeve is less clumsy and wears better. Rompers, loose at the knee and low-necked and short-sleeved may be used for little girl sand boys allike. Denim overalls, are rather cumbersome for the hottest weather but are adapted to cool days. Starched, frilled, and fussy garments alike unsuitable for young - children, whose clothes should be such as will make them perfectly comfortable and permit the freest play. No child should have to think of his garments during play hours; he should of course be subject to reasonable restrictions upon wilful or mischievous soiling or destruction of his clothing. Cotton is the best material for outside garments, since a child of this age should have no clothes that can not be washed. Mothers disagree as to THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY MAY 19, 1917 the comparative merits of white clothing and colored. White garments may be boiled, and thus the amount of rubbing necessary to get them clean is very greatly lessened. On the other hand, white dresses are soiled almost as soon as the child begins to play out of doors. It must be remembered that while white or light colors show soil sooner, there may be just as much actual dirt on the darker ones. Striped and checked ginghams fade less than plain materials, but often shrink badly in washing. Such materials should be shrunk before being made up. Seersucker and cotton crepe material of many kinds have the great advantage of needing no ironing. These rough materials are not very cool and if used for summer wear should have short sleeves and round neck so avoid chafing of the skin of the arm and neck. Percale, galatea, madras, and the better grades of gingham or dress linen are all good materials for children's clothes. For hot weather almost any of the thin materials may be used.

It is especially this occasion which brings Ex-President Bumstead to Atlanta. All of his friends will be eager to hear him deliver the commencement address and do him whatever honor they can. The year also marks the thirtieth anniversary of Prof. Webster's coming to Atlanta. It is in honor of Prof. and Mrs. Webster that the Alumni and friends of Atlanta University are invited to the reception at the Carnegie Library room Friday evening May 25. Those who participated in the inspection of buildings and grounds on Tuesday morning will be greatly interested to see what the possibilities of intensive agriculture are under the supervision of Superintendent Huth. The chickens and the cattle and the fields of alfalfa as well as the gardens furnished with overhead irrigation, are a great source of interest to all visitors and are peculiarly appropriate at this time when every one is urged to cultivate all available land to the greatest advantage. The Woodland Fantasy which comes Tuesday afternoon will take place out of doors in the grove north of North Hall. It is entitled "The Masque of Good Will" and was arranged as that of last year by Mrs. Edward T. Ware. The base ball team returned early this week from Tuskegee having acquitted itself well. The first game played Friday was lost to the home team by a score of 5 to 3. The next day, however, the Atlanta boys redeemed the loss winning by a score of 10 to 4.

Among the Masons The Grand Lodge meets Tuesday morning June 19, at Augusta. For centuries Masonry has been teaching the brethren that they meet on the level. Surely this could not have meant, nor can now mean that the well trained and mentally and morally cultured must be brought down, but that the less completely informed brother must be brought up. The cause of education, real education, has always been dear to the true Mason's heart. Masonry long ago realized the transcendant value of the proper training of the hand, the heart, the head and that such education is the true panacea of the many ills that afflict individual, races and nations, that ignorance is weakness, it is poverty, it is failure. It discovered and taught its votaries years and years ago that real education sits down before a fact, studies its language, interpret its meaning, and comprehends its bearing. It rightly emphasizes the necessity of training the hand, enlightening the mind and inspiring the heart, for it realizes that there can be no permanent community of views, no where cooperation of plans, no worthy achievements, where men are densely ignorant. A wise, just and righteous king might rule well a host of barbarians; but by no means with the success that would be his were the same subjects highly educated. Dr. C. C. Johnson, Grand Master South Carolina. . A drunken man walking down the street bedecked with Masonic jewelry said that he was not ashamed of the fraternity. We wonder how the fraternity felt about the exhibition of intoxication and brazen insolence. There are a good many members of the fraternity who are not a credit to it and bring shame upon it yet stand in public places loudly acclaiming their connection with the institution. Masonic Pride To be proud of being a Mason is commendable, particularly if the pride is the right sort. We have seen some who have traveled a long way up, and yet were not very high Masons after all. They had degree knowledge, but precious little of the old baptism. They were proud of being Masons because of its personal honor, and yet they made no effort to build up the institution itself. What it had done for them they were well enough pleased with—but what they could do for it they had never yet tried.—The Masonic News. Keep it Pure A Masonic lodge should not become talented with the restless spirit of the age that spirit which regards money and power as the chief good, and material growth as real progress, that spirit which seeks to excel in size rather than substance, and quality. In Masonry gradual growth is the only real growth that is possible.—Masonic Journal. --- Every Masonic lodge is a temple of religion, and its teachings are instructions in religion, for here are inculcated disinterestedness, affection, toleration, devotedness, patriotism, truth, a generous sympathy for those who suffer and mourn, pity for the fallen, mercy for the erring, relief, for those in want, Faith, Hope and Charity. Here we meet each other. Here we greet each other gladly, are lenient to each other's faults, regardful of each other's feelings, ready to relieve each other's wants. This is the true religion revealed to the ancient patriarchs which Masonry has taught for many centuries, and which it will continue to teach as long as time endures.—Albert Plike. The Real Mason The brother who unfortunately supposes that the only requisite of a skillful Mason consists in opening and closing a lodge, repeating with fluency its simple lectures or giving with sufficient accuracy the modes of recognition, will hardly credit the assertion, that he whose knowledge of the royal art extends no farther than these preliminaries. has hardly advanced beyond the rudiments of our science. There is a far nobler series of decrines with which Freemasonry is connected and which no scholar ever began to investigate who did not find himself insensibly led on from step to step in his researches, but love and adoration of the order increasing with the augmentation of his acquaintance with its character. It is this, my brothers, that constitutes the science and philosophy of Freemasonry, and it is this alone that returns the scholar who devoted himself to the task a seven fold reward for his labor. We, as speculative Masons, symbolize the labors of our preachers by engaging in the consturction of a spiritual temple in our hearts, pure and spotless, fit for the dwelling place of Him who is the author of purity, where God shall be worshipped in spirit and in truth and where every evil thought and every unruly passion is to be banished as the sinner and the Gentile were excluded from the sanctuary of the Jewish Temple.—Oriental Consistory.

The following executive order, issued by President Wilson permitting the appointment of Sergeant Farrier, will be of interest at this time. Said the President: "Mr. Dalley Farrior may be appointed to the position as messenger or any position in which his services can be utilized, under the War Department, without regard to the requirements of the civil service rules. "This order is issued upon the recommendation of the Secretary of War, who states that Mr. Farrior was Troop Quartermaster Sergeant of Troop C 10th Cavalry; that he was wounded in the right wrist in action at Carrizal, Mexico, June 21, 1916, as a result of which his right hand is paralized, the bullet having severed the nerve; that he was discharged on a surgeon's certificate of disability, October 31, 1916, with character, excellent; and that he is reported to be a trustworthy man as shown by his being Troop Quartermaster Sergeant, a position involving responsibility under the captain for all the property of the Troop." (Signed) Woodrow Wilson Sergeant Farror is a hand-one young man. He is a native of North Carolina, born 1884, and secured his education at old times while earning his livelihood. In Collaboration with Miss Mary Curtis he has written a graphic story of the Carrizal episode in pamphlet form and is now engaged in amplifying the recital into book form, to cover 150 pages, to give the galant action of the colored troops at Carrizal a permanent and fitting place in American history. Another distinguished representative of military glory of the race present at the Mu-So-Lit "revival" was Capt. George J. Austin, formerly assistant commandant of cadets at Tuskegee Institute, and lately identified with the 15th Infantry in New York City. Capt. Austin, aspiring for higher opportunities for service appeared before the examiners at Governor's Island, New York, and after much persistence and manipulation of red tape, managed to secure a hearing. He was put through the most rigid tests, and amid travail that is now a "turn down page" in the chronicles of the times, he was pronounced duly qualified for the initial training service of the army and ordered to report to headquarters authority of the war department. Capt. Austin gave a luminous portrayal of the responsibilities that accompany military life and elaborated upon the advantages in health, discipline and moral stamina that it conferred upon those fortunate enough to be admitted to its inner circles. He urged young men who aspired to commissions to equip themselves thoroughly in a mental, moral and physical sense for the work their hands would find to do. He urged that a training camp for colored men be established, so that those who are ambitious to become officers might have an opportunity to do so under circumstances that would be agreeable to all concerned. The training camp for colored officers is a surety. Howard University is entitled for great credit for the game fight it put up for this privilege, after every effort to have the Nego admitted to the general camps met with failure. Prof. George W. Cook, secretary of Howard University, was greeted by enthusiastic applause when he told of the pleas made by himself and others at the war department and at the war college for the establishment of a training camp for young colored men who aspired to become officers in the army. He told how the officials had "put it up to Howard" to give concrete illustration of the necessity for a colored camp, and how the institution promptly sent out canvassers to the various colleges of the country and to the people generally and raised a roll of 1,500 in less than ten days. When it was asserted that there was a lack of suitable sites for a training camp at this time, Prof. Cook and President Newman put their heads together, speedily called up the trustees of Howard and in a jiffy, the school buildings and grounds were officially tendered to the government for training camp purposes, and gave a guarantee that in twenty-four hours the place could be put in condition of receive all of the men that might be sent there. The next day thwrae department authorized the camp—and Howard's cup of joy is till to the brim. Judge Robert H. Terrell eulogized the life and public services of Former Senator Joseph Benson Forakër, whose death he announced to the club. The many evidences of friendship for the colored people of the nation were pointed out by Judge Terrell. J. B, BUTLER DEALER IN FAMILY GROCERIES SOFT DRINKS, ETC. DUFFY AND CUYLER STS. Mme.

His white brother, ever on the lookout for profitable fields for exploitation and with his slogan "He profits most who serves best" discovered that barbering was a lucrative undertaking. Since the white tonsorial artist has been forcing the Negro barber into the background, and tonsorial parlors have been blossoming out on the main thorofares of our cities, while the Negro barbershop has been moving onto the side streets and into the alleys. And, it is all because the Negro, who looks upon service as a relic and badge of slavery, has permitted his viewpoint to becloud the possibilities and opportunities with which service is pregnant. But to the white man, service holds no traditional or fancied disadvantages. Every opportunity to serve, is to him a chance to serve better and more satisfactorily that his predecessors in that field, by means of labor-saving, time-saving, and service-giving devices. Whatever sting service may hold for him, he proceeds to extract by applying science, and by raising that field into which he enters to the dignity of a profession. The Negro woman has been the "National washer-woman," and still continues to hold a place in the American family's weekly clean-up. This is true, even in the face of the rapid rise and growth of the factory method of doing washing—the laundry. That the Negro race has derived untold benefit from the countless thousands of washings done by these hard-working women; many an educated Negro man and woman can testify, for many of them have been educated through the toils of a mother who took in washings. Many an imposing church office have been founded upon the fruits of her toll; the pro-perous insurance companies and growing savings banks which the Negro boasts had their beginning in the thrifty wash-woman's hard-earned dollars; and a wash-woman recently made the first contribution of $1,000 to a fund being raised by one of our foremost institutions of learning. But again, the ingenuity of the white man is being applied to this field, and the race is about to be deprived of this source of revenue. Special machinery and methods have been developed to turn the wet-washing for those American families who cannot afford to pay the prices charged by the rough dry laundries that seek to serve them. The Wet Wash Laundry The laundry was first developed in this country to do finished laundry. The work in these first laundries was largely confined to collars, cuffs and similar starched and highly finished work. The first step toward invading the domain of the wash-woman, and taking over the family washing was the development of the rough-dry phase of the business. Special machinery for this work, as in the case of the original steam and power laundry, and most up-to-date laundries now have a rough-dry department, catering the family trade. The latest development, however, is the Wet Wash branch of the business, in which the family wash is returned to the home wet. While the rough-dry department of the laundry aims to cheapen the cost of bulk or family laundering, it has not sufficiently done so to reach the average American home. On the other hand, the Wat Wash launderer is enabled to further reduce the cost of family washings, and can do work cheaply enough to secure family trade heretofore unreaded by launderers. It is likely, there fore that the Wet Wash launderer is destined to become launderer to the nation and to supplant the wash-woman in the average American home. A Good Opportunity for Negroes There are many reasons why Negro men should enter this field, the chief among which is the fact that by so doing, they will prevent the cutting off of a portion of the income of the race, by which over 350,000 Negroes are making a living, according to, 1910 census figures. On the same authority, already 210 colored men and women were engaged in 1910 as laundry owners, officials and managers. But aside from race sentiment, there are a good many other practical reasons why the Negro will find the laundry business, and particularly the Wet Wash branch of it inviting. Some of these are: 1. Because it may be entered upon with small capital. A Wet Wash plant may be equipped for $1,000 or less. 2. Because it is a type of business in which prejudice will play little or no part, and its proprietors may thus hope to get considerable white trade- UNITIES FOR Laundry Business have elapsed the nation's bar- ops dotted the capital cities. er on the look- for exploitation the profits most referred that bar- ness depend of course, on the quality of service rendered. 3. With increasing prosperity among Negroes themselves much Negro family trade may be secured. This is especially true in southern cities where are to be found the exclusive white laundries. 4. It is the simplest phase of the laundry business, and that in which its owner can gain the necessary ex- perience with which to enter the more complex phases of the laundering trade. When the French mission and the English mission came here only Democrats were invited to meet and consult with them. What a travesty! If it were not tragic it would be comic. When congressmen offer their services for the war Wilson writes a personal note to the Democrats, telling them they can serve their country best by staying in Washington. The Republ- cans are referred to the war depar- ment for further orders. Government employees, now mostly Democrats, are exempted from the conscription bill, Why? Because they are Democrats? W C S W.

It is a field in which the proprietor will have little or no difficulty in finding skilled help of his own race. His better understanding of his employees will enable him to be in closer sympathy with them, and his labor problems will thus become much less difficult than those of his white competitor or fellow-tradesman. 6. The profits of the business range from 15 per cent. to 18 percent, on total sales. That is, should the laundry turn out $200 worth of work each week, the net profit, making reasonable allowance for expenses, will be from $30.00 to $30.00 per week. (Note—Free Advisory Service.

IS THE ADMINISTRATION CONDUCTING A PARTY WAR? Is this war to be successfully concluded or is it to be carried on as a party affair? The moral issues are the same now that they were in 1914. The contest is democracy against autocracy. So says Wilson—so it was in 1914, 1915 and 1916. Gen. Wood, Col. Roosevelt, Senator Lodge and Capt. Gardner recognized the issue and urged the President to get ready. The President either failed to see the point or for political reasons thought his re-election demanded as the issue "He kept us out of war." He won the election. Had he lost it he would be known to history as a second Buchanan. Now we are in war. The President has spoken some beautiful words. But he is running the war as a party affair. We owe our Plattsburg camp to Wood. Wilson pushes Wood, a Republican, by consigning him, the senior-general in the army, to the poorest post in the country. Even Hawaii is considered more important than Charleston. Why has he not accepted Col. Roosevelt's tender of 180,000 men outside the conscription limit and urged Congress to pass the necessary legislation? Because if "Teddy" goes abroad and returns alive Wilson, as a student of history, knows that the name that will live in history will be "Roosevelt" and not "Wilson." Who knows the name of the President of France? Everybody in the world knows the name of "Joffre." This is the explanation of the opposition to Roosevelt's being permitted to go abroad. Roosevelt has urged for nearly a year "Get ready." Wilson has until lately said "Do nothing." Who was right? The government is calling for hundreds of thousands of volunteers for the navy, regular army and national guard. The cry that "Roosevelt's enlistment will be contrary to the "conscription act" has no basis. The only real reason why the President does not use his great influence to get Roosevelt's help is fear of the verdict of history if Roosevelt returns a hero. Again, who wants to enlist in a regular army to be ruled by Wilson and Baker; or to enlist in a navy ruled by Wilson and Daniels. Such incompetency was never before known as that born by Daniels. Business man of vast experience are called to Washington, hang around for weeks and return home with the same story of nothing than Daniel's incompetency is providential. Attempts to organize the industrial plants are held up because Mr. Gompers has not yet given his consent and the government will not move until Gompers gives his consent. It is well understood in Washington that the advisory council consisting of Daniel Willard, Julius Rosenwald Bernard Baruch Howard Coffin and others are held up by Daniels and Baker; they are obedient to Gompers. Everybody understands it in Washington. Why doesn't Wilson step in and do something? Is he always going to play politics? Who is president? Wilson or Gompers? Is the President keeping Daniels and Baker simply because he is not willing to admit that the wrong men have been put in places of authority? Secretary Garrison was a man. He resigned because he would not be responsible for the mistakes and political moves of Wilson. Here is a case of the greatest emergency this country has ever known, and we are held back because Wilson won't put big men in places of power. When the French mission and the English mission came here only Democrats were invited to meet and consult with them. What a travesty! If it were not tragic it would be comic When congressmen offer their services for the war Wilson writes a personal note to the Democrats, telling them they can serve their country best by staying in Washington. The Republicans are referred to the war department for further orders. Government employees, now mostly Democrats, are exempted from the conscription bill, Why? Because they are Democrats? Now people are urged to "stand behind the President." This is not a monarchy. This is not an autocracy. We will stand behind the United States right or wrong, but we will stand behind the President only when he is right and until he changes his ways, until he shows his own patriotism by displacing Daniels and Baker and putting in their places competent men; until he stops permitting Gompers holding up the government we decline to wear a halter around our necks. Because Senator Weeks refused to permit McAdoo to have the power to put the proceeds of the sale of bonds in favored banks word has gone forth from the White House that "Weeks must be defeated for re-election." How do the people of Massachusetts like this kind of dictation? More power is being conferred on Wilson than was ever before given to any man, king, czar, kaiser or dictator. Until the President shows that he is worthy of this authority by removing Daniels and Baker and stops abdicating his power in favor of Gompers, stop playing politics and becomes a President of all the people, we decline blindly "stand behind the President."—The "Stand behind the President."—The Boston Herald. 6th ANNUAL MEETING GA. DRAINAGE ASSO., MAY 23-24 Of far reaching importance in the present national emergency is the Sixth Annual Meeting of the Georgia Drainage Association, which will be held at Athens, Ga., on May 23 and 24. Col. A. R. Lawton of Savannah, president of the association will attend and preside over the deliberations. Among the prominent members who are expected to speak are: State Signator L. R.

No doubt thy puest and prophet, as well as the jpeople, were given to wine and strony drink and thus were out of the right way. drinking themselves drunk like those in I Kings xvi, 9: xs, 16. ‘The Glthl- ness and beastliness of actual drank- ards are seen in lesson verse ¥, und those who continue such cannot enter the kingdom of heaven, but there me forgiveness and satvation for all kinds of sinners if they will only turn to the Lord, according to I Cor. vi, 9-11. In the next chapter (xxix, 9) there are a drunkenness and a staggering with which wine and strong drink had noth- ing to do. It was the religious, schol- arly Kind so prevalent today, a sleep from the Lord because they turned away from His word and sald that they could not understand it He called it drawing near to Him with their mouth only, while their heart was far from Him, and they were giv- ing heed to precepts of men and not to His precepts (xxix, 10-13). They sald to the seers, “See not,” and to the prophets: “Prophesy not unto us right things; speak unto us smooth things Prophesy decelts. * * * Cause the Holy One of Israel to ceaso from before us” isa. xxx, 8-11), According to Ezek. xxxill, 31, they hear, but do not; with their mouth they show much love. but | their heart goeth after thelr covetous- ness. It was jst the same when our Lord was on earth, for He quoted from Isaiah and said. “In vain do they wor ship Me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men (Matt. xv, 8.9) ‘There is only one true foundation, and that fs the tried stone, the precious cornerstone, the sure foundation of xxvill 16, spoken of so plainly in L Cor. fil, 11, All else is lies and from the father of Iles, the devil, but all shall be swept away by the judgments (verses 17, 18). There is no rest for Weary souls but in Him who said, “Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (Matt xi, 2S). But He still bas to say. “Ye will not come unto me” @obn v, 40). So in our lesson, verse 12, “This {3 the rest wherewith ye may cause the weary to rest, and this Is the refreshing yet they would not hear.” Again in chapter xxx, 15, “In returning and rest sball ye be saved; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength, and ye would not." ‘The failure {s ever on our part, and He hae to say, “I would; * * * ye would not” (Matt. xxiii, 37). These scornful men mocked the Lord's messengers, saying, Does He think that we are children Just weaned, that he must be ever repeating precept upon pre cept, lino upon line, not knowing that there is no other way for such slow people as we are? But they were proud and rebellious (verses 9-14). They mocked the messengers of God and despised His words and misused His prophets until the wrath of the Lord arose against His people, ull there was no remedy (11 Chron. xxxvi, | 15, 16). ‘There was a restoration from | Babylon after the seventy years’ cap-| tivity, but there ts to be 2 greater |, restoration, which is ever drawing]. nearer, after which they shall never |. be scattered again nor see evil any |: more (Isa. xl, 10-12; Jer, xxxl, 38-40; |' Zepu. tli, 15).

At this hour I am representing in Savannah one of the best insurance companies that you know of. It is best because we help you while you are living by paying you before you die. It also pays you when you die. The American Workmen's Insurance Company. It was incorporated June 26th, 1908 under the laws of the District of Columbia, said laws being enacted by Congress and approved by the President of the United States. No other insurance company has had the highest powers of our country to take an active part in bringing about its organization. When organized there was deposited in the treasury at Washington, D. C., a reserve fund for the protection of its members. This money cannot be used for anything else but to pay you in many ways. First, we pay $6.00 per week accident, $6.00 per week sick benefits and we pay accident benefits as high as $750.00. We pay old age benefits. $500.00 to members while living. Policy loans made to members after five years continuous membership. To keep a $1,000 certificate in force it will not cost middle age people over $1.20 per month. If you pay semi or annually it will cost less. Women and men are equal in this company. Any one can carry a policy who is between the ages of 18 and-55 years. E. B. JFFERSON, Solicitor and Deputy of State of Georgia. 537 East Huntingdon St., Savannah, Ga. PAGE EIGHT Washington, D. C., May 16.—The "war spirit" pervaded all of the talks at the May meeting of the famous MuSo-Lit Club, which held its closing session of the present half year last Friday evening in the Assembly hall of the 12th street Y. M. C. A. The country was lauded as the "best on earth" and the flag was voted the banner of the truest liberty to be found under the sun.. This was the optimistic spirit which made the May meeting one of the livest of the year and which will mark a memorable epoch in the history of the race in the nation's capitol. The principal address of the evening was delivered by Sergeant Dalley Farrior, late of the 10th United States Cavalry, who was with Troop C. of that remarkable fighting machine at the fateful massacre at Carrizal, when a detachment of brave American soldiers were attacked by Mexicans. In simple but wonderfully impressive language, Sergeant Farrior told the story of the battle of Carrizal. Sergeant Farrior was severely wounded in the right wrist, but showed a degree of courage under fire that would have done credit to the "Noble Six Hundred" at Balakalva. --- Later information develops the fact that the training camp for colored officers authorized by the war department, is not to be on the grounds of Howard University. Upon examination by army experts it seems that the campus is lacking in the amount of space necessary for the proper movements of troops, and there is no suitable location for a rifle range. The community is nevertheless grateful to the authorities of Howard University for thus tendering their institution. Howard University led the fight and is entitled to unstinted credit for its brilliant victory. It is stated that the war department is looking around and expects to find a suitable location and have the camp in operation by the middle of June. --- Graduates of Tuskegee Institute living in Washington, have organized a bureau of industrial information, the purpose of which is to help in the dissemination of useful information to Tuskegeeans who are co-operating with the farmers throughout the United States. * * * That well advertised suit, filed some years ago in the name of former slaves, to recover $68,072,388 internal revenue taxes collected by the Federal Government on cotton alleged to have been produced by slave labor, has been dismissed by the United States Supreme Court. The case was decided against the plaintiffs by the District Court of Appeals and the matter was then carried to the higher court which has upheld the opinion of the court below The case attracted widespread attention throughout the South by reason of the activities of Lawyer Cornelions J. Jones, of Tennessee, who was the leader in organizing the heirs of former slaves with a view of getting their claim into tangible form. The decision of the Supreme court puts an end to what its promoters expected to prove "A celebrated case." --- Former Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier, of Nashville, Tenn spent a few hours in the city last Saturday, on route homeward from New York where he had been attending the annual session of the Jeanes Fund Board. "A Fool There Was" by the Quality Amusement Corporation, opens at the Howard Monday night for a week. Abbie Mitchell, Susie Sutton, Laura Bowman and others are in the cast. "Her Silent Power" by Annie Lucas and directed by W. Scott Mayo, is underlined for Pythian Temple, May 31. Miss Goldie Chappell, late of Toliver and Chappelle and of the Billy King Stock Company, is in the city enjoying a brief rest. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis' thoughtful review of the work of the Negro Players in New York City, has attracted much favorable comment among the devotees of the legitimate drama. The legion of friends of Dr. James E. Shepard in this neck-o'the woods are not allowing the fact to be overlooked that weeks ago he tendered to the President and the general government the use of the buildings and grounds of the National Training school, Durham, N. C., for a training camp for colored officers. Dr. Shepard is always "on the job" when some progressive step is allowable. --- The military detachment recently organized by the colored men of the Treasury Department, is making excellent progress in their foot movements, preliminary to work on the manual of arms. The recruiting is being done by Sergeant Robert P. Rhea. Miss Hallie/Queen has been elected captain of the Howard University unit of the American Red Cross Society of Nurses. Miss Edna Brown has been chosen first lieutenant. The "Bruce Machine" received another evidence of its moribund condition when a program was recommended by the assistant superintendent by which Francis DeSales Smith, an expert chemist, was to be transferred to an uncongenial berth as instructor in mathematics, a subject he could teach but outside of his specialty. This attempt to place favorites at the expense of the asprit de corps of the school system is being sat down by Dr. Van Schalick as often as they poke up their ugly heads. --- Francis M. Dent, of Amherst College, having passed the required examinations, reported Monday morning at the officers' training camp at Fort Myer, Va., along with others from that school. As far as is known at this time, Mr. Dent is the only colored man to report at this camp, although reports indicate that there are colored men at other camps through the country. He is well known and his progress at this notable army reservation will be watched with interest. Mr. Dent is the son of Col. T. M. Dent. --- The annual session of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is being held here this week. Hon. Moorefield Storey, of Boston, is presiding. The Splingarn medal is to be presented Wednesday night at a meeting at the First Congregational Church. Many notable delegates are present. A. H. Grimke is the head of the local chapter of the N. A.A.C. P. COLORED STATE DOCTORS HOLD ANNUAL SESSION HERE (Continued from Page One) called to the colors, and that in this case he was certain that they would not be placed in the category of "slackers" He touched upon the raised standard of the two leading medical schools and its effect on the future crop of doctors. He also complimented the graduates of the Negro medical schools for the cordial spirit which existed between them and also spoke of the willingness of white physicians in general to enter into consultation with them. The endowment struggle which Meharry is now waging was dwelt on at length He cited several instances of big donations being made to the fund by the graduates of the school and asked that the Georgia alumni do their part. The committee on resolutions reported immediately after Dr. Hubbard concluded his remarks. Among the many things recommended by the committee were that the state legislature pass a uniform set of laws on mid-wifery and that Negro doctors be employed as city and county physicians to attend Negroes because of their peculiar fitness for such duties over and above white physicians. Next came the fight between Rome and Macon for the 1918 session of the convention, the latter winning out by a vote of about 26 to 14. In order that it might show its interest in the struggle Meharry is waging for its endowment, the convention, at the instance of Dr. A. D. Jones of Atlanta, voted the sum of twenty-five dollars to the endowment fund of the well-known Nashville school, the Me- U.C.V. REUNION, WASHINGTON, D.C.

Among the many social functions in which the visitors found pleasure were a dance Tuesday night at the Catholic hall, given by a club of young women who are assisting Charity hospital in its building fund, a boat ride Thursday afternoon to the ocean and many house parties that evening, and a stag Wednesday night. The city was alive with the strangers during their stay here.

We miss her from the accustomed ways We sought he in the dwelling's maze; And found beneath the skylight rays A peaceful smile illumined her face; Her lifeless features shone with grace That left of parting pangs no trace. On heaven had she fixed her eyes. And passed from longing, toils and sighs. From fading to unfading skies Sleep sweetly, dear aunt I pain, Would have you wake awhile with me, To chat with me, to smile Niece, Theodocia Mitchell Hoover STARR—In memory of our devoted aunt and grand-aunt, Mrs. Fannie H. Starr, who departed this life May 18, 1916. O Time, thou subtle thief of life, Who called from this land of strife Our dear one, our beloved. How soon hast thou stolen a year, While yet we dry a tear. Impossible to know forgetting. Fain would we forbear regretting. But for the sacred memory Of, our dear one, our beloved. Roll on. O cunning time, For from the celestial clime Her sweet voice called, and said, "Weep not, I sleep, I am not dead". And when the morning serenely there, Breaks eternal bright and fair, We will walk together, as upon this earth, And all will be joy, and peace, and mlrth, With us, and our dear one, our beloved.
