Country Farm Greatly Improved
NEW BUILDING DEDICATED WITH FITTING CEREMONY Juvinile Farm Well Equipped—Bacon Hall Opened Thursday
On Thursday, June 14th, the new buildings at the Juvenile Farm, including Bacon Hall, were opened with appropriate ceremonies. The dedication ceremonies were held in Bacon Hall, named for County Commissioner, Oliver T. Bacon, and a large and representative company of people, white and colored, was present. Among those present were a score of colored ministers, a half dozen physicians, several ladies, the officers and workers of the farm, Superintendent Brazell and Judge C. N. Fieldsohn, James G. Lemon, representing the Urban League, presided.
Judge C. N. Fiedel-ohn, delivering the principal address, outlined briefly the purposes of the county commissioners in the work of the farm. It was not to take the nature of a prison at all, he said, but was to be looked on as a place of opportunity—a place where boys would have a chance to grow into industrious, law-abiding men. He outlined the socalled Honor system, under which boys may so conduct themselves that in due time the boys may win their discharges from itt farm. A record of deportment and honor roll will be kept, and every two months, such boys as prove themselves worthy, will be dismissed. Twelve promising boys were dismissed at the dedication exercises.
Bacon Hall is large, well designed and arranged, and admirably situated for the purpose of school room and recreation centre. It will accommodate about two hundred boys at school and at play. In an anti-room, a system of shower baths, sanitary toilets and lavatories are installed. In several smaller rooms, en suite, adjoining, the matron, Mrs. Moore, will have stockroom, sewing room, hospital and medicine closet. Large screened porches surround the west and south sides of the building. Conveniences for adequate lighting and heating are arranged.
The lumber from which the splendid building is constructed was all cut from the county lands on which the plant is located, under the able and efficient direction of Supt. Brazell, and shows the splendid resourcefulness and enterprise of that good man. He seems to be the right man in this important place.
The excellent services and ability of Mrs. Moore are best evidenced by the marked changes which have taken pace at the farm in two short years. Then, the place was one of hopeless chaos—now, it is one of brilliant outlook—it represents opportunity in the fullest sense of the word. The place has been fittingly characterized "Opportunity."
Many ministers and laymen have rendered splendid assistance to those in charge at the farm, among these being Miss Zachery, Revs. Reid, Cash, Doughtry, Dr. Harris, Mrs. G. S. Williams and others.
The place is the very name of cleanliness and orderliness of arrangement. The gardens are full and abundant in their growth and production, and every thing savors of cheer and prosperity. There are now nearly one hundred
Public Schools Closed Yesterday
EIGHTY-SEVEN TO GRADUATE FROM CUYLER
Those Promoted to be Published in Next Week's Tribune
The public schools of the city closed yesterday, one week earlier than usual in order that those teachers who care to take in the teachers' summer schools in the various cities may do so without missing so much time.
The usual promotions were held yesterday in the afternoon at West Broad East Broad and Maple, but those of Cuyler will take place Monday. Promotions have usually been held in the morning but on account of examinations and marking of papers by the teachers at this time, this part of the closing day's exercises had to be deferred until afternoon. The promotions, of course, were attended by the usual hitority of those children who succeeded in the year's work and were accordingly placed in a higher grade, and the disappointment of those who failed in their term's work.
The graduation exercises of the Cuyler Street school were held last night at the F. A. B. church, Franklin, square. There were eighty-seven to receive diplomas. The list of all the promotions in the four schools will be published in the Tribune next Saturday.
HOUSE BURNS ON BONAVENTURE ROAD
The one-story home of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Scott at Bonaventure, on Leroy avenue, was destoyed by fire last Monday night about S o'clock. There was no grown person at the home when the fire began only the five small children being there, Mrs. Scott having gone to town to make purchases and Mr. Scott being at his tailor-shop on Jones street near Price.
The fire was started by one of the smaller children striking a match and before the older ones could put it out it had ignited some waste paper in the room. The older children seeing the fire, carried the smaller one to safety and then ran for aid. By this time the fire had gotten good headway and when the chemical wagon from the city arrived there was little of the house remaining.
The fire fighters centered their attention on the new home of Mr. and Mrs. Scott, next door, which is nearing completion and was in imminent danger of being destroyed. The faithful work of the firemen saved this building. None of the household furnishings were saved, the loss being in the neighborhood of $300.00
boys at the farm at present. They recited and sang patriotic airs at the dedicatory exercises.
The county commissioners, Supt. Brazell and Mrs. Moore came in for highest praises at the exercises for their splendid achievements at the farm.
In an informal way, many of the leading business men and ministers of the city addressed the boys, encouraging them to make use of their excellent opportunities to make of them selves good citizens for the community.
BIBB—PACE MARRIAGE
Atlanta, Ga.—The marriage of Miss B. Lethylnde Bibb to Mr. Harry H. Pace took place at the home of the bride on Wednesday night, June 20. The ceremony was performed in the living room of the home, the Rev. H. H. Proctor, of the First Congregational church of this city, officiating. The color scheme was of the soft pastel shades. The various rooms were decorated with palms and large bunches of cut flowers in a most unique manner. The bridal table sat in the dining room, most beautifully decorated with palms, cut flowers, pink and white sweet peas, and cathedral candles, in the centre of which was a richly embossed bridal cake. Tall candles burned all around the room, giving off a soft light upon the well-blended color scheme.
As the guests anxiously awaited the appearance of the bride and groom, Mr. George D. Cohnron sang a solo, "Because." Then to the melodious strains of "Here Comes the Bride", played by Miss Hattie Cater, accompanied by Prof. Kemper Harrel, the bride's maid, Miss Dunice D. Hamilton, appeared on the stairway leading down to the living room. Following her came the maid of honor, Miss Acolian Bibb, sister of the bride. Then came the flower girls, immediately preceding the bride, Misses India DeLain Amos and India Ruth King. At this point the beautiful bride came into view upon the staircase and descending, reached the living room at the same time that the groom came in escorted by his best man, Mr. Reuben Black. During the performance the soft strains of the piano and violin floated thru the rooms, barely audible. After Rev. Proctor had pronounced the couple man and wife and bestowed upon them his blessing, the guests gathered to tender their congratulations. The music again caused a breathless silence and the bridal party proceeded to the dining room to the strains of Mendelssohn's "Wedding March".
The bride wore a gown of heavy bridal satin combined with silver lace and with a court train. Her tulle veil was draped with orange blossoms. She carried a hugh bouquet of bridal roses. Her traveling suit was of dark blue, with hat to match and grey boots.
The maid of honor's dress was of turquoise blue satin and silver lace and her bouquet of pink and white gladiolas.
The bride's maid wore a dress of white silk over pink, trimmed with real lace and blue velvet ribbon, and carried a bouquet of pink and white gladiolas. The little flower girl wore dresses of white net with pink ribbon and carried quaint baskets of sweet peas and roses.
The ushers were Drs. Chas. H. Johnson and C. W. Reeves, Messrs. T. K. Gibbson, Walter F. White and W. J. Shaw.
Miss Bibb, who is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Bibb, has been a teacher in the public schools of the city of Atlanta. She is a young lady of excellent attainments and enjoys a high social standing throughout the country.
Mr. Pace is a man of 33 years who has already won high places in the business world. His endeavors and achievements have covered a wide range since his graduation from Atlanta University. He began his career as a school teacher in Jefferson City, Mo., and since then has achieved success in all of his undertakings. For quite a while he was cashier of the Solvent Savings Bank and Trust Co., Memphis, Tenn., during which time he was active in politics and prominent in fraternalism, this latter culminating in his election to Grand Exalter Ruler of the I. B. P. O. Elks. Four years ago he came to Atlanta to become secretary of the Standard Life Insurance Company, later combining the position with that of treasurer. Today he is secretary, treasurer of this company and it was largely thru his efforts that the company has come to be the strongest, best organized and most efficient colored corporation in the United States.
There were a large number of out-of-town guests present at the celebration. Prominent among them were Mr. and Mrs. Warren Logan, Jr., Mr. and Mrs. Booker T. Washington, Jr., of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and Mr. W. S. Lovett of Louisville, Ky: The couple received a great variety of elegant presents from their large number of friends throut the country.

THE SUCCESS OF THE
GINGHAM FROCKS
Small and Large Checks and Fascinating Plaids Have Countless Charm
New York June 15.—If you are bound for the country on a summer vacation, by all means let your trunk contain at least one. If not more, of the charming gingham frocks that everybody is interested in this summer.
From very early in the season there was much talk of these gingham dresses. Society wore them in Palm Beach in the early spring and, immediately, their success was assured. There is every kind of gingham to be had this summer, beginning with the small checks in white and colors, of which blue and white and pink and white are perhaps the most charming. Then there are the larger checks, and the fascinating plaids in which several colors are introduced. Some of the pretty combinations are yellow, white and

These frocks are smart for all sorts of occasions. They are not strictly for morning use but they seem to fit in nicely for almost any informal summer affair. They are made up in charming ways, it is no wonder that women are so enthusiastic about them. On their first introduction the plaid and checked ginghams were almost always combined with plain gingham, usually in one of the colors of the plaid or check. The plain gingham
© MICUALL
One of the Smart Gingham Frocks of The Summer was used either for piping and collar and cuffs or for making a portion of the dress in those 'half-and-half' dresses which are so very popular. These combinations are still seen, but very often the plain gingham is now replaced by the volle, and sometimes it is organdy that is combined with gingham, but this is mainly for the dainty collar and cuffs which go with these dresses.
Plain blue gingham combined with black and white check is an unusual combination but has been attractively used with a touch of red cross-stitch embroidery on the black and white check which is employed for trimming.
The Shirtwaist Dress
The shirtwaist dress is one of the summer novelties which has been received with much favor. These dresses are rather plain in effect. The
See and talk with the real insurance man! 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.
waist is attached to the skirt, and the dress is buttoned down the center front from collar to hem. The large white pearl buttons which are used really act in part as trimming. In striped tub silks with white pique collars for contrast, or with collars made of the same silk, these frocks are both practical and pretty. The skirts are pleated or gathered, and sometimes trimmed with deep tucks going around the lower part.
More elaborate, but made somewhat on the same order, are some dresses with waists of Georgette crepe and skirts of crepe de Chine matching in color. These are charming for afternoons developed in pale blue or pale pink.
Short Panels and Soft Draperies While the straight one-piece frock continues to be the main theme of the designers at present, there are very pleasing variations which now and again diverge from the beaten path. In the first sketch is a dress showing a short panel which breaks the straight lines in front. Patch pockets at the side fulfill the same mission, while the box-pleats at the front and back of the skirt preserve the straight lines as far as possible. The panel is repeated in the back just the same as in the front. There are several frocks in which this hip-length panel appears. The model illustrated is for youthful figures. The dress is developed in oyster-white linen with heavy allover embroidery in white forming the collar, shaped cuffs, and large square pockets.
Another departure from absolutely straight lines is shown in the second sketch. Here the material cleverly draped at the sides, producing the narrowing effect at the ankles. No definite waistline is given this dress. The skirt section is attached at low waistline, but a loosely arranged girdle holds the dress into the figure above the Joining of the waist and skirt. Brown and white plaid gingham forms the greater part of this dress, and plain white gingham makes the sleeves and body section.
We are at liberty to do just as we please about waistlines this season. The long peplum blouses and the smart one-piece frocks which are still in vogue permit of a girdle being placed in almost any position. The peplum blouses are even more poplar now than when they were first introduced. They are made up in all sorts of materials; none is too sheer or too heavy for this style.
CONSERVE FOOD! BEGIN NOW!
Prevent food waste by being ready to can, preserve, dry, pickle, salt, or store surplus fruits and vegetables. See that everything needed is at hand and ready to use.
As tin cans may be scarce—
1 Can for home use in glass or stoneware containers.
2 Reserve tight-sealing containers for canning. Jut up jams, jessies, preserves, and fruit juices in glasses or bottles sealed with cock or paper and paraffin.
3 Concentrate products, especially soup mixtures, so that each container will aggl add as much canned food and as little waste as possible.
4. Dry $ ^{2} $ such vegetables as corn, string beans, navy beans, mature lima beans, okra, etc. Pickle or brine suitable vegetables in crocks.
5. Make your fields or home gardens produce dry beans, peanuts, soy beans, cabbage, potatoes, and root crops that can be stored in pit or cellar.
Don't have an empty container in your neighborhood next fall.
Washington, D. C.—Fruit for the use in pie or salads or as stewed fruit can be put up or canned without the use of any sugar at all, according to the canning specialists of the Department. They, therefore, advise those who, because of the high price of sugar, have been thinking of reducing the amount of fruit they put up, to can as much of their surplus as possible by the use of boiling water when sugar syrup is beyond their means. Any fruit, they
say, may be successfully sterilized and retained in the pack by simply adding boiling water instead of the hot sirup. The use of sugar, of course, is desirable in the canning of all kinds of fruits and makes a better and ready sweetened product. Moreover, most fruits when canned in water alone do not retain their natural flavor, texture and color as well as fruit put up in sirup. Fruit canned without sugar to be used for sauces or deserts must be sweetened.

Directions for Canning Without Sugar
Can the product the same day it is picked. Cull, stem, or seed, and clean the fruit by placing it in a strainer and pouring water over it until it is clean. Pack the product thoroughly in glass jars or tin cans until they are full; use the handle of a tablespoon, wooden ladel, or table knife for packing purposes. Pour over the fruit boiling water from a kettle, place rubbers and caps in position, partial seal, if using glass jars, seal completely if using tin cans. Place the container in a sterilizing vat such as a wash boiler with false bottom, or other receptical improvised for the purpose. If using a hot water bath outfit, process for 30 minutes; count time after the water has reached the boiling point; the water must cover the highest jar in container. After sterilizing remove packs, seal glass jars, wrap in paper to prevent bleaching and store in a dry, cool place.
If you are canning in tin cans it will improve the product to plunge the cans quickly into cold water immediately after sterilization. When using a steam pressure canner instead of the hot water bath, sterilize for 10 minutes with five pounds of steam pressure. Never allow the pressue to go over 10 pounds.
Helena, Ga., June 21.—The 12th annual session of the Allen Christian Endeavor League convened here today. The convention is composed of six presiding districts; the Savannah district, Rev. C. C. Cargile; West Savannah district, Rev. W. G. Alexander, P. E.; Hawkinsville district, Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Sr., P. E.; Waycross district, Rev. J. O. Iverson, P. E.; Blackshear district, B. J. Ross, P. E.; Brunswick district, Rev. A. Parker, P. E. 400 delegates and members have already registered and this is the largest session held since the organization of the Conference League 12 years ago.
Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., is the conference president; J. D. Counts of Tarboro, Ga., is the secretary. Rev. W. G. Alexander, D. D., preached the annual sermon Thursday night, and Dr. J. W. Maxwell, preached the educational sermon last night. Both sermons were up to a very high standard. The annual address by Rev. Sherman was well received. It is impossible to set forth in printed words the fervent eloquence and skill in the delivery of the address which we were privileged to hear. Maybe its warmth and force were accentuated because of the fact of the very large increase over last year's work. The souls of the young people became stirred and thrilled. The address consisted of a brief and inspiring survey of the A. C. E.'s history with its struggling yet victorious march to its present point of comparative triumph, and the future was unveiled in prophet-like fashion. Indeed it was a treat. Many Savannahians are attending the convention. Bishop J. S. Flipper, D. D., and Dr. W. A. Fountain of Atlanta, Ga. will preach Sunday, morning and afternoon. Dr. A. B. Gibson, state superintendent will conduct the great platform meeting, assisted by Principal J. W. Maxwell of Central Park Institute of Savannah, and President Rev. W. O. P. Sherman, Jr., a chorus of fifty voices rendered sweet music for the convention. The keynote of the convention is 'co-operation'. Rev. C. W. Nicholson, pastor and members are making it very pleasant for the delegates and visitors. A picnic at McRae will be enjoyed this afternoon.

Washington, D. C., June 20.—Former Register of the Treasury J. C. Napier was in Washington last week attending the annual meeting of the trustees of Howard University and taking part in the birthday function in honor of his esteemed, friend, Governor P. B. S. Pinchback. Mr. Napier was accompanied here by his nephew, Mr. C. N. Langston, assistant cashier of the One?Cent Savings Bank at Nashville.
In the trustees board of Howard University, Mr. Napier plainly pointed out the need of a rejuvenation of the school's affairs from top to bottom. Steps must be taken, he urged, to make the school stand out more strongly in the public eye as a constructive force in the development the race needs most at this time. While continuing to emphasize the importance of the so-called "higher education" Mr. Napier vigorously insists that the time has come for Howard University to march into the column with the other great institutions of the land that are pushing forward agriculture as one of the primary sciences of the hour. He favors the establishment at the earliest possible moment of an agricultural department in connection with Howard University and, if his plan is carried out, Congress will be asked to grant an additional appropriation for the purchase and equipment of an adequate plant for the instruction of our youth in the art of digging profitably into the soil as well as extracting Greek and arithmetical roots.
Gen. George P. Harrison, commander-in-chief of the United Confederate Veterans, who crowded all Washington last week with their annual encampment and reunion, was the center of attraction wherever he went. Gen. Harrison is not only a distinguished military chieftain, but is one of the far-front leaders of thought and action in the South and is a proved friend of Negro achievement. Commending the colored people generally upon their remarkable progress since the abolition of slavery, Gen. Harrison, to a press representative spoke in the highest terms of the work of the late Booker T. Washington and the exemplification of his teachings.
Gen. Harrison declared Tuskegee to be the one vitalizing force in true education. Whether that education is planned for black or for white people. "White men or black men", he went on to say "who are true men, and wish their country happiness and peace will immediately embrace the Tuskegee spirit of forebearance, of justice, of patience, of education for all the people as a pledge and a platform upon which we may all stand together."
The outlook for the Negro in the new army of the United States is exceed-
ingly bright. This is the view of Senator Henry S. New, of Indiana, one of the race's most valiant champions and to whose efforts the establishment of the training camp, for officers at Fort Des Moines is largely due, as well as the knocking out of the scheme to leave the colored man out of the military scheme of the present war, especially so far as the South is concerned. Senator New led the fight for equality of opportunity and won his case—won it because he fought with vigor and determination and won it because he stood for the right. It is the opinion of the broad-visioned Indiana senator that the Negro will have not less than forty regiments when the war is in full swing, and that he will be commanded by his own officers from second lieutenant to major, with a host of non-commissioned officers and clerical and other attaches.
He is an active member of the Senate Committee on Military Affairs and is in just the position to render the service that stirs the soul of a red-blooded American. Senator New is a statesman of quality. In him the black ma nhas a loyal "friend at court."
The departure of seventy-six splendid young men for the training camp for officers at Fort Des Molnes, Ia., was an inspiring spectacle. A monster crowd assembled at the Union Station last Tuesday morning to see them off. The Washington boys were joined by groups from the south and east and it was a merry party that started on the westward journey that means so much to them, to the nation and to the race.
The 18th Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. has a new executive secretary. He is Mr. John W. Davis, until recently registrar and teacher of science at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. He comes well recommended and has had much experience in directing the activities of young men. He succeeds Mr. William H. J. Beckett, who resigned to go to the training camp at Fort Des Molus for service as physical director. Mr. Beckett is to remain there only until early fall. At the opening of the school year he returns to take up work as physical director at Howard University. The loss of Mr. Beckett to the Y. M. C. A. field is sincerely regretted. The boys are giving Mr. Davis the "glad hand." Mr. Davis is a native of Savannah, Ga.
The suggestion of Dr. John Van Schaick, Jr. for the presidency of Howard University is taking like "wild fire". Dr. Van Schaick is young, aggressive, constructive and thoroughly frank and open in his method of dealing with men and measures. Dr. Van Schaick and his estimable

In order to fully qualify herself and

demand for sites for military cauton-

has already repudiated dissolute wo-
men and destroyed thelr erased

even those houses which have the ap-

RIOT CAUSES LOSS
Teast St. Louly is beginning to see
the imemdiate consequences of the at:
tacks made on its Negroes by a mob
inthumed by race prejudice and inspired
by ignorance. About 1,000 Negroes
hutve been driven from the city, These
were not idlers, They were not par.
asites. They were honest workers
Many of them were doing a character
'of work about the packing plants which
the average white man refuses to do,
Tiut it is necessary work, and until
other people ext be fonnd to de it the
packing plants cannot operate. When
‘the packing plants close, it not only
throws lundreds of white men out of
empioyanent, with all that means to
the business of the community, but it
interfers with meat growers and meat
consumers in, a large aree. No man
‘nowaday lives to himself industrially,
any more than le does morally.
The Negroes who have heen driven
from East St. Louis ate their bread
in the sweat of their faces, They did
not even stop at bread. Whatever
fault may hare been found with the
Negro, he hay never been accused of
parsimony. Too often his expenditures
exactly equal his Incdme. The Ne-
groes are good spenders and they pay
cash. The merchants and the larfd-
lords tstithate that the loss of there
1000, Negroes mean a weekly shrink-
ing of about $18,000 in business re-
ceipts. None of the mob have shown
any disposition to make this shrink-
age good. None of them have offered
to fill the enforced vacancies. They
are not even trying to find places for
‘the white men thrown out of emplos-
ment as’a result of lack of men to do
disagreeable though necessarystabor.
‘The city has also suffered in ity in-
dustrial reputation, It is impossible
to Menstre the loss, It is fortunate
tliat the constituted, authority made an
effort to keep the moh under control,
for this proves that the foes 6f law
and order are not in full charge, De-

Pittsburg, Pa., June 10. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes has been holding the second annual meeting of social workers in this city in co-operation with the National Conference of Charities and Corrections, the greatest gathering of social workers of its kind in the world. colored people have developed their organizations in these two cities into a solid mass of race betterment. She pointed out that probably the most vital result aside from that of immediate benefit to the community and these cities have effected really a whole-some co-operation between the to the individual that the movement in
PAGE SIX
Following a public reception given Thursday evening, June 7, at the colored men's branch Y. M. C. A. by Pittsburg Council for Social Service Among Negroes, the Urban League held two sessions on Friday evening, June 8 and Sunday afternoon, June 10. The Friday evening meeting was held at 3 p.m. at the Watt Street School and the second Sunday afternoon meeting at the Central Baptist church. The first session was presided over by Dr. George E. Haynes, professor of Social Science at Fisk University and executive secretary of the National Urban League, and the second session was presided over by Dean Kelly Miller of Howard University, one of the vice-chairmen of the National Urban League.
In opening the first meeting Dr. Haynes made some remarks on the problems of the Negro's advancement. He said in part: "The greatest problem confronting the Negro in his first fifty years after emancipation was to demonstrate to the world that he is a man capable of development and achievement like other men. The problem of the second fifty years will be to show to the world that he is capable of collective action demanded for democratic organization of today. Negroes have confidence within their own consciousness of their ability to prove this. They must prove it to the satisfaction of their fellow citizens. To do this we need organization for collective action.
"By organization I do not mean machinery merely. I mean the determination to secure better living and larger freedom, and this determination infused into the masses of our people. Once they have this purpose they will carry it out by whatever machinery is at hand. This purpose must be infused into the mass of wage-earners and into every church society, into every business league, and into every community betterment club, and into every individual.
"The great world war has changed the old order and a new day has dawned. It calls for collective action of every element of our population. As social workers our great obligation as well as our opportunity for service to our people is to organize them for better wages, better homes, better industrial efficiency, better education and for larger freedom of life. For however humble their station they are seeking a liberty and an opportunity for themselves, and for their children. It is our business to help in-pire and lead them toward these better conditions of the larger life."
Among the speakers at the Friday evening meeting were Mr. William N. Jones, supervisor of the colored division, Department of Recreation and Social Survey, Memphis, Tenn., who spoke on Human Adjustment in Memphis. Mr. Jones said in part:
"We have demonstrated that any broadhearted woman of willing mind can, by giving four hours each month her time to the general welfare, under proper direction, increase the living efficiency of twelve families every year at least one hundred per cent.
"One of the most pressing problems with which social workers in large communities have to deal is that of amusements. Between the 'hands off' and 'Thou shalt not' policies of the church, and the commercialised and misdirected mixing of pleasures, vice and license that cater to the young, there is little to offer the young people. Whenever I have directed a dance social for tired girls or taken a group of children out to play on Sunday afternoon, I have had to answer to the ministry. I tried to solve the problem by having the ministerial organizations indorse a list of amusements selected by themselves. I have not not succeeded in getting a satisfactory list. When I began my work in Memphis there was not a single piece of play apparatus in a public place in the city. Now there are eight."
Continuing he declared: "To get the more fortunate of both races to realize in a way that every family breakdown, however humble, ultimately affects the living conditions and increases the burdens of every other family, and to open convenient avenues for their co-operation in the general welfare has been a daily aim. Whenever I have touched a man or woman, white or black, and especially an official, I have pressed this general principle."
Professor George W. Cook, secretary of Howard University, spoke on "Lines of Social Uplift in the District of Columbia."
an account of the beginning of betterment work in Charlotte, N. C., and Augusta, Ga., and showed how the
One of the most effective addresses of the Friday session was given by Mrs. R. T. Brooks, executive secretary of the Associated Charities Auxiliary at Columbia, S. C. Mrs Brooks said in part:
"Any community in which the two races are found in large numbers can well have one or more organized groups similar to that of Columbia for the common good of both. In such a group the ills of a community may be planned for and relieved to the comfort and better adjustment of human affairs.
Such a group may have as their main object health, recreation, justice, or relief, but in quest of any one of these for the whole people, the various ones having such a common aim, find themselves. Latent powers are awakened and interest stirred in those afforded such a view. When men and women so meet and work together on terms of mutual respectability, device plans, support morally and financially, a given work for the welfare of society, there is created unconsciously through the knowledge gained of each other a potent force for the abolition of destructive conditions and develop a far-reaching power for the distribution of love and justice."
Miss Helen B. Pendleton, District Supervisor of the Associated Charities in Newark, N. J., discussed the problem of social betterment among the Negro newcomers in Newark. She described the thousands of Negroes who had come from the South to Newark and the suffering and privations they had endured during the past winter. She told of the efforts to relieve their condition and the difficult time they had had in not securing adequate housing.
At the Sunday afternoon session Mr. Roger N. Baldwin, formerly secretary of the Civic League in St. Louis, gave an interesting history of the efforts of the Committee for Social Service Among Colored People in St. Louis, as it is probably one of the oldest organizations for Negro betterment in any of the large cities.
A telegram message was brought by Professor Josiah Moore of the University of South Carolina, who spoke on the outlook for social improvement and race relationships in South Carolina. Mr. Dugene Kinckle Jones, Executive Secretary of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, gave an illuminating account of the work the league has been doing in a number of cities during the past six or eight months and spoke of its work in helping the Negroes who have flocked to the industrial centers of the North. He outlined the methods necessary for the cities to use in organizing these newcomers both for the good of the community and for the good of the new arrivals.
Mr. Forrester B. Washington, the Executive Secretary of the Detroit League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, gave the closing address at this session, outlining the program of work for the assimilation of the Negro migrants in northern cities. He said that the community required a vocational bureau, a bureau of investigation and information regarding housing, some organization to provide wholesome amusement and recreation as well as a plan for suppression of crime. He emphasized especially the need for plans to develop the industrial efficiency of the Negro migrant. "In my opinion," he said, "the most important feature in the program of work in aiding the Negro migrants in northern and industrial centres is the problem of efficiency. The welfare of the Negro in his new environment in the North depends upon the opinion that the community has for him. If the community can be convinced that the Negro is and always will be a business asset we need not worry much about housing, employment, and recreation. But the Negro has got to convince the captains of industry of the North that he will be just as much of a necessity to production after the war as he is now. This can only be done by developing the Negro to a maximum of efficiency industrially."
An interesting part near the close of each session was a series of reports and remarks from visiting social workers from various cities. A feature of the program at both sessions was the community singing by the audience of familiar hymns and folk songs.

THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY JUNE 23, 1917
Lesson XIII. — Second Quarter For June 24, 1917. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, John xxi, 15-25. Quarterly Review—Golden Text, John xx, 31—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
Lessox I.—Jesus gives sight to the blind, John ix, 138. Golden Text, John ix, 3, "I am the light of the world." We should all appropriate (all true believers) the words of Christ in verse 4, "I must work the works of Him that sent Me," for we are sent by Him as He was sent by the Father, and all our works are prepared for us (John xvii, 18; xx, 21; Eph. ii, 10).
LESSON II.—Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead. John x1, 17-44. Golden Text, John x1, 25. "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection and the life." This sickness and death, like the blindness of last lesson, were for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby (verse 4). His delay in coming to the heartbroken sisters, His seeming neglect of them, the death and burial of Lazarus, were sore and severe testings, but resurrection made all right.
LESSON III.—Jesus the Good Shepherd, John x. 1-18. Golden Text, John x, 11. "I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd layeth down his life for the sheep." He was no hireling, never thought of pleasing Himself or of seeking anything for Himself, either in the way of His own will or His own glory.
LESSON IV.—Jesus anointed at Bethany, John xl1, 1-11. Golden Text, Mark xl1, 8. "She hath done what she could." All is well in this home now, for Lazarus has come back, so it will be in the resurrection reunions, and we shall forget our miseries and remember them as waters that pass away (Job xi, 16). In Mary we see true, loving, believing, costly worship; in Martha restful service, in Lazarus resurrection life, and we look onward to His table in His kingdom.
LESSON V.—Jesus welcomed as king, John xII, 12-26. Golden Text, John xII, 13. "Blessed is He that cometh in the name of the Lord, even the king of Israel." That most sad day when He went over the city because of the sufferings that would come upon it on account of their rejection of Him and His kingdom will yet give place to a glad day, when they shall say: "Lo, this is our God! We have waited for Him, and He will save us."
LESSON VI.—Jesus the servant of all, John xII, 1-17. Golden Text, Mark x, 44. "Whosoever would be first among you shall be servant of all." The events of that passover night which He so desired carry us back to the great night in Egypt when the nation was born and on to the future fulfillment when they shall be born again.
LESSON VIII—Jesus the True Vine,
John xv, 1-16. Golden Text, John xv,
5, "I am the Vine; ye are the
branches." Not only is He the True
Vine, the True and Righteous Israel,
but He is the Righteous Branch always
bearing fruit. The wonder is that He
can bear fruit through such as we
are, but He who ordains peace for us
works all our works in us (Isa. xvv1,
12; Phil. ii, 13; Eph. ii, 10). In redemption He does all for us fully and
freely, and unless He does all in our
daily life nothing counts.
LESSON VIII.—The importance of self control, Isa. xxvill, 1-13. Golden Text, I Cor. ix, 25. "Every man that striveth in the games exerciseth self control in all things." As in verse 16 of this chapter we have the only sure foundation for all deliverances from sin and self, so it is also in I Cor. iii, 11-15, where we learn that lack of self control or denial may lead to great loss on the part of saved people.
LESSON IX.—The Holy Spirit and His work, John xv, 26; xvi, 14. Golden Text, John xiv, 26. "He shall teach you all things." From first to last the Holy Spirit is the great and only worker and has been called the executive of the Godhead. He loves to magnify the Father through the Son, guide us into all truth, take of the things of Christ and show them unto us and show us things to come.
LESSON X.-Jesus betrayed and denied, John xviii, I-18. Golden Text, Isa. liii, 3, "He was desplied and rejected of men. When we consider that one numbered with the twelve, though he never was really one of them, sold Him to His enemies, and another who was truly a disciple denied Him with oats and curses, and all forsook Him and fled, we can only wonder at His faith in God under such adverse circumstances.
LESSON XI.—Jesus crucified, John xlx, 10-30. Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 3, "Christ died for our sins." As we consider this most awful event in all the past history of the world, we should continually ponder and prayerfully meditate upon such words as our Golden Text, along with Gal. III, 13; I Pet. II, 21; Heb. 1, 3; Ix. 12; x, 10; 12; Isa. III, 5, 6, and then see Him before His enemies as an example for us, His followers.
LESSON XII.—The Risen Lord, John xx, 1-18. Golden Text, I Cor. xv, 20, "Now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the first fruits of them that are asleep." We should see ourselves as believers, crucified with Him, buried with Him, risen with Him, seated with Him and coming with Him in glory to set up His kingdom and reign with Him over the earth. and reign with Him over the earth.

NEW QUARTERS TO OPEN
FIRST OF MONTH
Dedication Services to be Held Sunday Afternoon July 1st.
Arrangements are about completed for the opening of the new club quarters of the Savannah Home Association at Minsl and George streets. The building which has been under erection for the past five months is a three story brick structure with modern conveniences and well appointed in every respect. The cost of the building and its furnishing will reach $15,000. Everything is under way for a brilliant opening and the committee in charge has perfected plans for the handling of the large crowd that is expected to be out that week. The dedication of the building will take place on Sunday afternoon July 1st, at 4 o'clock; at which time the entire house will be opened for inspection.
Beginning on Monday night the 2nd, a five night bazaar will be in force which marks the ushering in of the social events. From all accounts every night of the bazaar will be crowded with pleasure and many useful articles dispensed to the patrons. An elgthy-five dollar grafanola will be awarded the person holding the lucky number, the chances are twenty-five cents and can be secured at the association reading room, 410 Taylor street, west, or at The Tribune office. The grafonola is now on display at Savannah Pharmacy. The chances will be drawn the last night of the bazaar. Adding to the many gayeties of the occasion will probably be the presence of several of the leading social clubs of the city in a body. Efforts are being put forth to have one out each night. It is rumored that one of the organizations which has been invited to take a part and which has been assigned to the fourth of July, will be headed by a brass band. The association is asking the public in general to come out and join in the dedicatory services and also spend a week with them during the bazaar. There will be no admission asked.
JOHN DAVIS·SUCCEEDS
W. H. J. BECKETT
Takes Charge of 12th Street Branch X. M. C. A.
Washington, D. C.—The Twelfth Street Branch of the Y. M. C. A. has called Mr. John W. Davis, registrar and teacher on suéne at Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga., to become executive secretary, following the resignation of Mr. W. H. J. Beckett, who has been connected with the Twelfth Street Branch since its opening, first physical director and for the last three years as executive secretary. Mr. Beckett left the city June 19th to take up work for the summer as physical director of the officers' train-camp for colored men at Despoines La. He will become physical director at Howard University upon the opening of the school year in September.
Mr Davis, the incoming secretary, was born in savannah, Ga., finished a college course at Motehouse college, took a post-graduate course at the University of Chicago, has had much experience with student association work and for some months was secretary of the Atlanta. Ga., association. He is a man of pleasing personality, fine business training and one who puts his Christianity into action. One of his chief purposes and efforts has been in the direction of the upbuilding of the young men of his race through the agency of the Young Men's Christian Association. Since a college student he has been interested in this phase of work and has never failed to render service whenever and wherever opportunity has afforded. He accepts the Washington call believing that it offers a splendid opportunity for service to a large number of the young men of his race. Mr. and Mrs. Davis will arrive in Washington within two weeks.
GRIFFIN BEATS CAMERON
What proved to be the fiercest and most sharply contested fight of the local fistle season, was the Griffin-Cameron bout of last Monday night. From the first sound of the gong, the men mixed it, hammer and tongs, cornering each other in an avalanche of slashes, chops and swings. Those who missed the fight are in for sore regrets, for every fan got a good run for his money.
Griffin was easily the cleverer of the two big men and used his skill to good advantage over his bigger and clumsier opponent, Cameron. Griffin got an early lead, side stepping and whipping several blows to the jaw, when the slower Cameron missed with swings. Twice during the earlier rounds Griffin floored the heavy man with right hooks to the face, bringing blood from the nose and mouth in the second round. In the seventh, Cameron all but went out, was groggy and dazed, but Griffin, himself worn with fre-
of Dayton, Ohio, is in your town for a few days and everybody who wants a Rain Coat that covers the need for both Rain Coat and OverCoat, can get such a coat at half price if ordered before he leaves. He comes once a year. For economy sake don't miss him. Each person is required to deposit one fifth of the cost of the coat with the order and the coat comes when he or she says and not before. PHONE 1239 ADDRESS, 524 WEST BROAD STREET
THE COTTAGE
quent holding by both men, lacked the K. O. punch. Cameron came back strong in the succeeding sessions but found himself cary in distress again. In the ninth, Griffin rained a terrific liail of blows upon Cameron who, dazed, trilled to cover, the bell saving him. An exchange of blows in the tenth, with Griffin the aggressor, closed a good fight. Cameron was game to the end, though much the worse off and apparently almost out when the fight was over. Griffin finished in good shape.
The second preliminary, with Black Snake and Battling Jerry Williams, furnished right good sport. Snake, a great favorite with local fans, had the house, but was rather roughly handled by Williams, who without doubt had the shade. This fight was called a draw, which decision was acceptable to the house.
A large and enthusiastic crowd was assembled for the fight, and manager Jennings is to be congratulated upon furnishing an interesting exhibit.
It might be added, that if he will continue to hold his program up to the excellent grade of that of last Monday night, his efforts will be highly successful.

NATIONAL COLORED LIBERTY
CONFERENCE LAUNCHED Boston, Mass, June 16.—History was made by Americans "of African descent" this week in Boston. The New England Suffrage League, for manhood suffrage in the Southern states, founded by Rev. Wm. H. Scott, of Wolurn, Mass., in 1901, has vindicated its continuance for 13 years. It met in the 12th Baptist church on Tuesday at 11 a. m., and when its sessions closed at midnight with a reception in the vestry to delegates, after two executive sessions attended by nearly 100 delegates from eleven states and a crowded mass meeting that pulsated with earnest enthusiasm for the slogan "A share in this world democracy for which men must fight," there had been launched a National Colored Liberty Conference to make real that slogan.
Not in years has this New England League had such a largely attended annual meeting, successful in spirit and in work. Editor-Trotter was again re-elected president.
