These two things sound very far apart, but, in the history of every war, great stress is laid upon the brighter side of life. One reads of gay parties given during our Civil war, and dances and routs played important parts in the War of the Revolution. The frocks were simple ones, to be sure, but one can have just as good a time in plain costumes, if they are becoming. Of course there are parties and dances and teas now; great fun they are, too, for it is rare indeed that one does not see a uniform or two among © MOCALL With Draped Skirt and Tunic the somber attire of civilians. Some are given for the Red Cross, or a pet war charity; others in honor of visiting soldiers. Part of the "bit" of those who have to stay at home is light heatedness, to try to even the balance in the world. The League for Simple Dressing Women of good taste and patriotism everywhere seems to have joined a League for Simple Dressing. The only by-law seems to be Conservation of Material, and the motto "Simplicity." One of the most attractive of the season's fads in evening dress is that of combining two materials. Satin and lace, silk and net, velvet and Georgette crepe, or any other combination is most effective if properly used. A clever example as illustrated here. The most unusual feature is the tunic over the draped skirt. The satin of the skirt is repeated on the waist, and © McCALL Simplicity in Lace and Charmuse the tunic and underwaist and sleeves are of lace. The color scheme is charming. orchid satin and cream lace with a touch of blue in the crystal beads on the waist. The Crowning Glory Colfires and hair ornaments are very simple, too, this year. The hair may be slightly waved, and brushed softly back, ending in a loose knot at the nape of the neck. Anofférer way is to pile it up on the head in soft roll. The French twist is favored too, and also one still sees the hair braided so as to appear "bobbed." Rhinestone pins and combs may be used if they are not too large and elaborate. Earrings are coming to the front this year in many unusual and interesting shapes. The single loop, the double loop and the triangle of gold are very popular, and the gypsy earrings are a fad of the moment. THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY, DEC. 1, 1917 coming and—warm, and it is far wiser to choose a good material and lining and do without trimmings. Capes are enjoying quite a vogue this year, from the one shaped like an Italian officer's to the cape coat. One novel rose-colored cape I saw at the theatre the other night had a collar entirely of rose-colored satin roses! They were placed in rows, one above the other, until the effect was a large bouquet of roses with a center flower the lady's head. Satin is being used a great deal, satin lined with satin, with a warm inner lining of lambswool or canton flannel. Many of the more sumptuous wraps have huge collars and cuffs of fur. Some have wide collars of lace, copied, perhaps, from the pictures of Vandyke. Velvets, duvet-tyns, and brocades are used for the more elaborate affairs. Simple lines are always the best, no matter how much the material chosen. Linings of contrasting colors add to the picture; sometimes a wonderful lining is the only trimming used. The Question of Gloves "Are we going to wear gloves this year?" Yes and no, in fact you may do as you please. For very formal times, big receptions, the opera and so forth, long gloves seem appropriate; but for less formal occasions, dances, teas, and even the theatre, it is considered perfectly permissible to leave them off. Short white gloves must always be worn with long-sleeved dresses, however. Light-colored gloves are smart for afternoon wear, and black may always be worn in the morning or with a dark suit. Wash chamois, kid or buckskin are the best for morning or sports wear. Round Neck and Short Sleeves On the order of the bebe waist, so dear to the heart of the French woman, is the dainty little design illu- lated here. The blue charmeuse skirt falls in soft pleats, and the full lace waist has a wide' band of the charmeuse around the neck. Short "angel" sleeves are made of the lace. The tiny bunch of flowers on the girdle is of black satin. N. A. A. C. P. TO DEFEND DR. LEROY BONDY Accused of Murder in East St. Louis Riot Cases The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has just won a tremendous victory for the American Negro in the unanimous decision of the United States Supreme Court in the Louisville Segregation Case, but the association does not intend to stand still upon that victory. It has already undertaken a fight of almost equal importance, the fight of securing for the colored men accused and convicted of murder in the East St. Louis riots a fair trial and every benefit under the law to which they are entitled. The Association is undertaking this fight not only in behalf of the individual men concerned in order that the blame of being the initial cause of the horrors which took place at East St. Louis shall not be shifted upon the Negro race. Although the colored people at East St. Louis were sufferers and victims, several hundred of them having been beaten and killed, the result of the legal process thus far has been the conviction of ten colored men with sentences of fourteen years each in the penitentiary. On the other hand, two or three white men have been convicted and given long sentences, and only a few days ago three of the white men charged with rioting were sentenced to thirty days each, a sentence which in some parts of the country is often imposed for being merely drunk and disorderly. Great interest now centers around the trial of Dr. Leroy Bundy. Dr. Bundy is a poserous dentist and one of the most prominent colored men of East St. Louis. He is charged with inciting riot and murder, and it is declared that the state will ask for the death penalty in his case. The National Association has already taken steps to secure the very best legal dea possible for Dr. Bundy and will spare no effort or expense to give him a fair trial and the fullest protection under the law. Dr. Bundy's case is not merely an individual case. It is in a large sense the case of the entire race, and so the association makes a national appeal for cooperation and funds to assist it in the defense of Dr. Bundy. Already the St. Louis branch, from the day immediately following the riots, has been doing magnificent work. The branch has raised and expended for the benefit of refugees, in collecting evidence against the rioters, and in defending Negroes who were accused, almost $3,000. The St. Louis branch is still putting forth every effort, with the National Association standing behind it and working through it.

Even the word profanity has a rasping scathing sound. It has no semblance of gentleness and is only a soft pedal on the word cursing, which is harsher still. Instead of cursing mankind, we should be a blessing to them, and when we use profanity we are really bringing a curse on our fellowmen, for the boys growing up and around us, hear the awful words and take us for examples, and they are made profane by us. That is not all, a man, a real man would not insult his mother or father or even his best friend. So remember, dear brother, if you take God's name in vain you insult the best friend you have or ever will have, your Creator, your Preserver and the one who gives you every good thing you have enjoyed from infancy up to the present moment. He will not always be so insulted, but some time will leave you and when he does you will be dead and have to face him and give account for not only the insults to Him but your influence before the young boys of your time. You are either leading someone heavenward or hellward each day of your life. Stop and consider and do not forget your vows, so sacred to elevate mankind, not degrade them. The flimsy excuse, I do not mean it, don't go with God. He is a just judge and will reward us according to our deeds. Think of the grand old order you represent, and do not bring disreclici on yourself, for Masonry is pure and can not be soiled with vile oaths. But take off your emblem if you cannot wear it with honor to yourself and the order. Be a sure enough man, with backbone. No Mason should use words he would not be willing to use before his mother or wife or any lady. He should have clean lips or his soul will be soiled. We should be a light to the world that can not be hid, to guide the way worn traveler on his weary journey through life. Let your life count for something worthy of your profession. A profane man does not carry blessings to the hearts of his fellows but destruction. A true Mason is a gentleman in every sense of the word. Let us be an honor to our order and spurn the profane words that would make a true woman blush and above all honor Him who gave us life and all we possess and keeps us day by day. Be true to your vows, your God, your brother and soil not the apron you receive so pure and spotless. This sentiment from the Masonic Chronicle has the right ring: "When you patronize a Mason in business you are not working fraternity, but you are working for the good of the fra ternity." A brotherhood that is afraid to be helpful to the brethren is not good for much.—Ex. The Masonic lodge is the place where brethren may be most easily restored to harmony. The lodge is the clearing house for misunderstandings that keep brethren apart.—Masonic Monthly. A lodge of Masons means much to any community. An upright membership means much to a lodge of Masons. City and Country Masonry-A Difference Recently we had the pleasure to accompany the Grand Master to the laying of the corner stone of a church in one of the small towns in the state. The impression received as to the difference between Freemasonry of the country districts and that found in our cities was so marked that it might not be an idle thing to chronicle these impressions, that good may come to both city and county. This town is in the northern portion of the state, in the midst of a garden spot in fertility, for which Missouri is famous. It is a substantial community and town. A well-to-do people. It has several churches, a fine large brick school building, neat residences, well built business section, two banks, stores of all kinds, a population of 1,000, and na saloons. A typical country town in a wholesome moral atmosphere. During the ceremonies the business houses were closed. The Mason was willing to sacrifice gain and time to attend and march with his lodge. Every member in town and surrounding county came and put on his white apron. The membership was all out. The hall was well filled from young man to the octogenarian, the strong and some so feeble that they had to be assisted up the stairway. The Masonic pride and spirit burned bright in forms feeble and dimmed with age. The old grizzled master of thirty and forty years ago, grasped the hand of the young master of today. The merchant, the farmer, the professional man, the clerk, the banker and the daily wage worker mingled in oneum-restrained bothrhood. The best men in the town and community had assembled. The men whose money, work and influence that had made that town were there wearing the "white leather apron." There was no profanity or coarse jokes in the anti-room. The lodge was as sacred as the church. When the master's gavel fell, there came to respect and deference to authority, such as is shown by soldiers of many battles. The brief session of the lodge had a subdued, cheerful solemnity. The march to the church did not have a military precision, some steps were THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE had a peculiar dignity under its seemingly rough exterior. The ceremonies as given by the officers of the lodge were clear, with a hesitating modesty that made it impressive: As you arose to address the brethren and large audience you could not but feel that they were giving you the best that was in them and that you must give them he bes ha was in you. You were looking into the faces of the unhonored and fameless heroes and heroines of America's truly great. The moral backbone of common-wealth's power was before you. With the country Mason, Freemasonry is a serious thing. He does not put it on like a coat to be laid aside for some more convenient season, but it is a part of him everywhere. For this reason the influences of a country lodge dominates and shapes the moral tone of the community. The membership being small, the members know each other, there is a personal as well as a communal interest. The standing of the lodge becomes a personal one. The ill repute of one member affects the entire body, hence greater care is taken in the selection of candidates. The black ball is always ready to be used, not only for the good of the lodge but for the town. The average officer of the country stands higher as a man in his community than the city Master, he has less opportunities for development, but he uses those that he has to a good advantage. It means more to be a Master of a lodge in the country than in the city. It means more to be a Mason where the members feel that their word, their honor and reputation is a part of the community.—Illinois Freemason. Noble Lives No lives on earth can be nobler than those spent for the uplifting and betterment of mankind. For them there is no death. Could that radiant glow of joy and happiness which they have poured into the dark and desolate homes of the distressed be reflected upon their deathbed, we could see them pass from this life to that of the realms above in a halo of heavenly glory. The voices that, through such noble life, have been whispering words of cheer and encouragement to the sorrowful may be silent; the hands that patiently and mercifully have administered to the weak and suffering may be folded in the embrace of death; but life itself and the memory of their deeds will live forever.—Square and Compasses. It has been well said there are too many superficial Masons. Rapid promotion from one degree to another in lodge, chapter, council, commandery, the consistory and finally the shrine has become all too common, and does not reflect credit upon the individual or the bodies that pass him along without teaching him what Masonry really is. We do not so much need more Masons, but we do need better Masons, and the only way to get them is to properly impress them with the truth and buties of the institution while they are passing through the several degrees.—Tyler Keystone. We should live and labor in our time that what came to us as blossom may go to the next generation as fruit. This is what we mean by progress. Connelly. Mrs. V. B.

It is likewise a season of accounting and reflection. Thinking men and women and children, Christians, are accustomed to reviewing and recalling and contemplating their experiences of the year—the joys, the sorrows, the exploits, the disappointments, the success the failures,-the gains and losses of their careers. It is a period of comparisons. We set down the past alongside the present; we bring back the days of less hope and little outlook to compare them with the glowing promise of the present, or vice versa; we have gone forward or slipped backward along the journey of a definite career. It is a time of general reckoning. We look out upon the world and across the seas; we think of the lands, once blossoming like a rose, whose abounding in plenty and happiness, but now torn by the storm of modern warfare and swathed in blood; we wonder that the yueltide may not and orphans, made so by the madness of men. And, lastly, we turn to "the stranger within our gates"—the poor, the sinned-against, within our own community, yea, the wretched and those without opportunity within the borders of our own city. Generally we are enjoying an unprecedented prosperity; we are experiencing good business; and while we hear, everywhere, the wall of high prices, there is plenty of work with good pay, and we are handling more money than usual—and we rather like it better than lower wages, and less work with, perhaps a lower cost of living. Let us give a little thought to the condition and the welfare of others, and thus approach the Christmas tide, in the spirit and practice of real fellowship, and a brotherhood full of meaning and sincerity. Hath it not been written: "Am. I my brother's keeper?" and "He came into the world, not to to be ministered unto but to minister, and to give His life a ransom for many." RESTORE 7TH AND 8TH GRADES Early in the summer The Tribune begin to agitate for a restoration of the seventh and eighth grades to the schools from which they were so summarily taken three years ago. Our position in this matter and the reasons we gave why this change back the old order should be made, found approval and sanction among the people generally, many of whom commended our article and verified our assertions. Numbers of parents, vitally interested in the welfare of their children, made known that they had come to these conclusions, and for the reasons we set up. We had given this matter careful consideration from all the ordinary points of view; we had observed the pupils and the general disciplinary and moral effect of the new regime giving due allowance for good faith of the Board of Education (which we did not question), and for the reasons upon which their action was based. knowledge of the inconsistency of the present plan, its ill effects, and its weaknesses confirmed oud belief that we are operating a whole lot less efficiently than we might under present cost and equipment. The fact is, the output from the schools does not show the high degree of fitness which formerly characterized it, and some good reason for this result must be found. Formerly, upper grade pupils winding up their grammar school careers had the guiding supervision and direction of the most thoro and experienced teachers in the system, and the added advantage which come from better acquaintance with their living conditions, their native capacity, and like. Under the change, exactly opposite circumstances arose in the pupil's schedule. He was brought into a new environment, to form new associations with teachers and mates, and must labor under less experienced direction and supervision, to say the least. These are not empty contentions. There is no other motive prompting us, save only the well-being of the children and the most efficient use of the public school funds. We are face to face with "a condition and not a theory." We have the condition. Several of the organizations among our people, prepared a memorial to this effect during the summer and it was presented to the Board of Education before the opening of the schocis; the plan suggested by these interested citizens had been carefully, thought out, and as is appeared, involved no additional expense to the school board. No direct recognition was taken of this request by the Board, so far as the citizens committee could learn. This is the present status of the situation. It would seem to be the part of wisdom as also of simple justice, that the Board of Education should undertake to remedy these evils complained of. If they do not exist, investigation will disclose it. If they do exist, "it is never too late to mend," and correction should be made as early as possible. Parents would be unworthy if they did not exercise a great degree of care and a grave concern regarding the education of their children. A growing number of parents are thinking on these things. They have not only the privilege of studying and observing these things they have the right as tax-payers to have them done as efficiently as possible within the means provided for public education. BUSINESS FOR THE ORDINARY During the week there appeared in the daily papers of the city the rather unusual and almost ridiculous announcement, that another concert and chorus would soon be heard in this city, in which the same reportoire of Negro music and folk songs, rendered so brilliantly and so well at the Urban League Concert by the chorus of 100 voices, would be rendered again and anew so as to show the white citizens who would be invited the best in music and musical talent among Negroes. Such an unwarranted and ill-thought announcement to the public—so close upon the heels of the splendid and successful concert of Nov. 20.—could scarcely have issued from a well-balanced head. The promoters of the well-organized concert have received scores of letters of congratulations, numerous telephone messages of commenlation; the director of the chorus and the members of it have all received flattering compliment and praise for their splendid performance—all these from the most prominent and critical persons attending the concert. The great audience gave evidence of its high appreciation of the artists and the excellent program. This running amuck, as it were, on the part of some ill-advised or misdirected observer, is not quite what we should expect. It looks like "kicking the buccet of milk." There is glory enough for us all. It certainly could not have been present at the concert at all and Lis injudicious and melancholy adviser must have failed of one of the dollar seats or what is worse. must have been in wretched physical and mental condition, to have been so sub-normal as it appears he was. He was a luckless creature, and perhaps a defective. More's the pity. Mere meanness does not make fools of men. Men are lacking in reasonable metality, from some mescarriage of nature, native or acquired. We are ready to acknowledge that there are those perhaps who are enough lacking in character, sufficiently devoted to disgracing and degrading the race, fully ready to increase and emphasize the disrespect and contempt for it, and to upset any onward and upward activity and idea which does not originate with or magnify themselves,—we have heard there are such animals, unleashed—but we were THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY, DEC. 1, 1917 he surprised to find any supposed repre- disdain which the unjust and sentative of the human race, so void of judgment, with such pronounced stress and overwhelming vacuity of mind, so mechanical and unthinking as to attempt to detract from and to discredit the most brilliant musical and literary program ever presented in this city by colored people, and to try to abate the honor of the participants, after a whole city, virtually, had called them great and good.

How long will it be before the white people of this community shall be, brought to realize the sordid motives and designs of those who seek to mislead them, like ostraches as it were, by flinging sand! It is about time we were reverting to the ancient method of "branding" these contemptible, and disgusting "undesirables," that they may be known of men, or maybe we ought be more charitable and commit them to some "padded cell." CONGRATULATIONS. CONTINUE COMING There was an unusualness about the concert program—it lay in this, there was no element of the ridiculous in it, no minstrelsy. Current comment indicates that this was the great surprise. Many are the expressions of regret from those who did not attend. A prominent judge has characterized the occasion "a most charming evening." Another gentleman of wide experience, and in high public office, has said that Madam Brown's reudition of "Nobdy Knows de Trouble I've Seen" brought tears to his eyes. A cultured and observant lady said to the committee that at the moment the curtain rose she was possessed by the strongest sensation of her life—"I felt prouder of my race at that moment, and more hopeful of the future than ever before." The reception was a beautiful occasion, of brilliant dress, of delighted and happy people. The affair, throughout-concert and reception-was an artistic and financial success. OUR CASE The unusual and uncertain condition obtaining in the nation today, brought on by the peril and exigencies of the greatest of all wars, furnishes a striking and reflecting background against which to study and consider the status of Negro citizenship in this nation. Moreover, the detail of war preparations and economic adjustments entailed, have offered several opportunities for working out certain examples related to this all-important condition. These incidents and events have served to disclose the attitudes of the various classes of the people, and of the nation with regard to this question. The nation has had to go on record in the matter of the Negro's position in the army and navy of the nation. The government is somewhat more committed to the policy of "the open door" for the Negro soldier. The government has recognized and admitted the necessity for Negro officers, and, will, perhaps, agree to admit Negroes into all branches of the nation's defense service. This concession to Negro citizenship principle and duty has come rather as a precaution and necessity than as voluntary and willing grant. Other branches of the government not strictly military but coincident and collateral to it, have been opened to Negroes through the same influences. Myriad industries in which Negroes were never known before, have been opened to Negro people since the great war began—and through the very same influences—necessity and the exigencies of war times. These opportunities have meant wonders to the colored folk, and great things in the line of race advancement. It is unfortunate that they did not come out of the bigness of heart of America, before the war and before they were literally wrung from the government and the people by stern necessity. Isolated and sporadic outbursts of prejudice, here and there all over the country, but mark the dawning of the meaning of these momentous and ominous changes upon those who are responsible for the outbreaks,—and their realization of the loosening bonds and breaking fetters. A sort of industrial emancipation has come to Negro labor, and no matter what conditions may follow in the wake of peace, it will be forever impossible to resurrect and restore the old order of Negro industrial slavery. Labor, freed, has proven to be power for developing economic strength and independence in the race. Negro labor has learned widely and well. It has gone into unknown avenues and has increased in skill and improved in quality. Negro labor is an institution of the future which must be reckoned with as never before. Conselous of his power and indispensibility, and yet of the enyx and disdain which the unjust and mean feel for him, the Negro has stood loyally and courageously by the government in this crisis—and will continue so to do. "Slacking" and pacificism in this moment are unknown and unthinkable. Our nation is at war, and every resource of brain and brawn and skill in the Negro race is laid upon the altar of America, to stamp our tyranny and militarism and to enthrone in their places, freedom and democracy But there will be spoils of war and "to the victor belongs the spoils." In the winning of democracy and freedom for the world, we shall certainly expect to win it for ourselves. We must be free, and free indeed. We shall accept nothing less than full emancipation from the brutal and humiliating lills of discrimination and proscription. NEGRO SOLDIER HEWER OF WOOD At least one battalion of the Engineering Corps, that recently recruited at Oump Travis, Texas, as part of the National Army, is to be officered entirely by whote men, and its rank and file is made up entirely of colored men, not even one of the petty un-compissioned placed being assigned to a Negro. In commenting upon this procedure, The Houston Post remarks, "From earliest dawn of known history the black man has been the hewer of wood and drawer of water for his more fortunate and ambitious brother of the dominant race," and quotes (without giving name) "some white commissioned officer" as saying: "They had their chance as soldiers and played hell with it, and now the government is going to make 'em dig trenches and do the hard work of the camp." We do not doubt that there are scores of officers who may feel as this one, and as this prominent southern journal must feel toward the Negro soldier and who fear the untold possibilities which his recent military enfranchiement may lead to; but these men do not furnish the mettle with which wars are won, nor do they increase respect for the country's military uniform. They rather belong to the ranks of the army at a time whenists, to carry this hate and vexom into the arms of the army at a time when the highest-spirited moral and enthusiasm is necessary throughout. Wherein has the Negro failed as a soldier? We know of no recorded instance of it. The above is a Texas paper, and doubtless its vision is compassed by the boundary lines of that state, and, perhaps, reference is made to the recent riot there, as if, for sooth, this localized isolated and sporadic event proved anything or established any precedent. Does the Houston Post recall Bunker Hill, San Juan Hill and Carrizal? Does this army officer know that there are thousands of black men facing the hot fire of actual battle at this very moment in France to make the task of American soldiers the easier, and perhaps to spare his very life? Does such language become an officer of the American army anywhere? It is conducive to stimulating the loyalty of twelve millions of black folk for the success of American arms in this war? We venture to assert that if the fate of the nation rested with men of this ilk, our doom had already been sealed.

The business session of the convention was held on Saturday morning churches. The reports showed substantial progress both along spiritual and financial lines. The annual meeting of the Woman's Home Missionary Union, Mrs. M. I. Heard of Athens, president, was held Saturday afternoon and an excellent program was rendered by the union. Rev. Chas P. Morris, evangelist of Virginia, preached to a large audience on Sunday. Rev. Morris has been engaged by the A. M. A. to do some evangelist's work among the churches under the direction of the superintendents. The closing address was delivered Sunday night by Rev. Geo. W. Moore, D. D. of Nashville, Tenn. on the subject of "The New African Mission". Rev. D. J. Flynn, D. D. of Charlotte, N. C., superintendent of Ga., and the Carolinas was present and made some helpful talks to the brethren. Rev. Dr. Geo. W. Moore conducted devotions of the convention which devotions gave a great spiritual tone to all the sessions. Dr. Moore who is now retired on pension by the American Missionary Asso., was superintendent of Southern Church Work for twenty-five years, doing a work which now requires the services of four men in the field. He has been preaching about forty years. Perhaps the most important feature of the convention was the report of the special committee from the National Council which stated that a new African mission to be known as the "Anglo Mission" in West Central Africa under the auspices of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission to be supported largely by the Congregational churches among the colored people in the United States. Well-trained young people from our colleges and universities will be sent as missionaries to this field and will be located along side of their white associates. There are those among us who will be quick to see the significance of this great movement. The plan is to send out in the first instance an ordained minister and his wife, a doctor and his wife, and possibly also an industrial superintendent. Resolutions expressing our loyalty to the President, Woodrow Wilson, and allegiance to the United States in this great contest for world-wide democracy and human rights were unanimously adopted by the convention. a telegram to that effect was sent to be Presiden. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year. Rev. W. Burtor. of Macon moderator. Rev. W.-K. Kennedy of Hagan. as senior moderator; Mr. P. A. Denegah. of Savannah. of Rev. W. L. Cush. of Savannah, treasurer and Rev. C. Stephen Haynes of Athens, registrar. In Memory COLLINS—In memory of Mrs. Debora M. Collins who departed this life Nov. 30, 1912. One precious to our heart has gone. The voice we loved is stilled. The place made vacant in our home. Can never more be filled. Our Father in His wisdom called The boom His love had given; And though on earth her body lies, The soul is safe in heaven. Farewell wife,' farewell mother Peaceful be thy rest; Slumber sweetly. God knew best. When He called thee home to rest. Farewell mother, farewell sister. We must say our last farewell; Till we meet beyond the river. Happy there with thee to dwell.

When spirit is free then where will it go? Its uttermost summit no man may know; For it goes up to God in His holy tower. To gather more knowledge, force and power. Like a ray of the sun it shall shine again. To brighten new planets and races of men The life that has no beginning has no end. Yes living and loving and trying to guide us, Invisible helpers, by God's sweet will. Who oftimes move through the day beside us, But aiding us most when our minds are still. Yes the curtain is being lifted. The silent broken, the darkness rifted; And knowledge is taking the place of faith. On that vast subject death.

A. Last-Sunday was "boys day." The principal speaker was Mr. E. W. Sherman, who was in good form and easily captivated his audience with the force and eloquence with which he delivered his address. The address was especially prepared for the boys who had charge of the entire program, and they listened attentively while the speaker drew a picture showing a world of possibilities which was now stretched out before them, and some of the things that society would expect of the after they had become men. Prof. W. P. Tucker gave his second installment of a series of lectures on "Y. M. C. A. work in the Army." That his address had the desired effect is proven by the fact that arrangements are now being made by members of the "Y" to send a box to one of the training camps for the boys for Christmas. The other members on the program were good girls, those young boys deserve praise and encouragement. The weekly clash between the Airplanes and Submarines in the 1,000 membership drive resulted in a victory for the Airplanes by a score of 9 to 1. On tomorrow will be "a service of thanks-giving."

Singfield Honesty, when discovered in one, is a power which cannot be surpassed. Therefore, we find it to be a strict sense of business on the part of those who are brave enough to make a vow before God and man to be honest. There is many a man holding high places in ranks of humanity who will not break into a house and steal goods belonging to another, but will strain his conscience and bead the law, convive and conspire, and steal his unfortunate brother's rights; the action of such we do not hesitate to condemn. position and get on the job and go out on the highway and steal time from the business which they represent. Now stealing is but stealing and the fellow who refuses to steal money or money's worth and yet persists in stealing time, is guilty of dishonesty, and should get out of the doubtful column and decide to give the business which he represents a square deal. Mr. Ellison, after having invented the telephone system upon one occasion while demonstrating it said: "that time is money." therefore, the utterance coming from this genius and inventor is an authority, and thereby becomes a standard from which we can measure things of life. This is a busy age from which we This is a busy world and he who plans well his work and works well his plans will always be able to bring about good results along his line. A good business man, sometime back, was forced to refuse a make a favorable recommendation for a young man aspiring for a position who worked in his employment because of his dishonesty in past transactions, therefore, we find that dishonesty not only serves to place one in jeopardy in the strong clutches of the law but also serve to close doors and burn bridges behind them, hence, we should inject enough of the essence of business judgment in our life's motto to keep alive strict honesty coursing through our veins, for after all, it is business to be honest. The local branch of the Negro Business League is planning to have a roaring big meeting on the first Wednesday night in December, at its headquarters, at which meeting all members are requested and urged to be present. We are about to witness the close of a very prosperous year's administration, and our anticipated plans are to meet at the above stated time, and review the work of the past and set plans for the future, these are the principles: for which the Negro Business League stands. The next meeting will be held on December 5. at 458 West Broad street. Let all the members come out early and bring a friend.
