A joint committee representing the
Associated Charities, The Savannab
Federation of Women’s Clubs, The
“Central Council and the Urban League
appeared before City Council at its
‘session last Wednesday night and asked
for an appropriation of $150.00 per
month to pay the salaries of two visit-
‘Ing nurses, one white, the other color-
ved, for an anti-tuberculosis campaign
in this elty.
Miss Helen Cinnamond, secretary of
the Associated Charities, and J. G.
Lemon, director of the Urban League,
“served as spokesmen of the committee
‘Miss Cinnamond pointed out the con-
-spicuous lack of provision for the care
of tuberculosis victims and suspects by
this city as against the great need for
jt, and called attention to the great
amount of money being spent by neigh-
boring cities, including Jacksonville,
Atlanta and Chattanooga.
Mr. Lemon, addressing Council on he
half of the Urban League, said: “The
health and living conditions surround-
ing wsany Negroes in this city, partic-
ularly in sections designated as Frog-
town and Yamacraw, are passing ser-
Yons, they are tragic. Of the 155 per-
sons who died from tuberculosis in Sa-
vanrah Inst year, 132 or more than
‘85 per cent were Negroes, as agoinst
only 23 whites, less than 15 per cent.
Patients in Negro hospitals are exposed
fo these victims of infections and com-
tmunicable diseases, 26 dying of tuber-
calosis at the Georgia Infirmary last
year.”
He told of the work of the Urban
League at Yamacraw Center among
the sick and poor who are enffering
tainly on account of overcrowding and
bad sanitary conditions, He sald that
a free clinic for Negro children, held
at the Centre during Health Week last
spring, had disclosed that of the 46
children examined more than 29 were
diseased, and many of them suffering
from tuberculosis.
Tie assured Council that not only the
Urhan League, but the colored people
generally would willingly ald in es-
tablishing this important work. Dr.
Warris and Love and others have al-
ready volunteered their services, the
former having already rendered much
valnahle service in this regard thru-
ont the city. *

Boston, Mass., March 2—The grea
sor of Attorney Wm. Lewls, senio
counsel of the National Equal Rights
Teague, which began and fathered the
whole fight, and of all the rest ox
‘Thursday of this week was permanent
ly chronicled Friday morning by the
Boston Post of March 1 as follows:
“John Johnson will not be surrendered
to the federal authoritles of West Va
- “The Negro, whom Governor McCall
last November refused to extradite on
the demand of Governor Cornwall, yes-
terday afternoon won a second victory.
In a crowded court room at the Federal
building United States Commissioner
Hayes declared that “probable causes”
to belleve that Johnson had yiolated
the Mann white slave act bad not been
shown, and he was forthwith ordered
released. This was Inter modified and
pending the appeal by the government
to the District Court on one ruling ot
Commission¢r Hayes during the hear-
ing, Jobnson will remaln on his pres
ent ball of $2,500. But federal olfictal
themselves practically admit that the
case is ended.” Wm. H. Lewis, Esq.
was Johnson's attorney, assisted by
BR, Wilson, Esq, of the N. A. A.C
'P., J. W. Schenck, Esq., 0. L. Raysor
‘Esq., ex-U. S. Commissioner R, W. Hale
volunteer in charge. .
| In announcing his decision, Com
missioner Hayes said: “I have examin:
ed the evidence. I have examined
‘the law. This decision fs a responsi.
‘bility placed upon me by law, and the
question is whetber or not by this evi:
dence I find the defendant gullty..
“There bas been introduced tuto thls
case testimony as to what took place
in Charleston immediately prior to the
indictment, That does not affect me;
and wpon the evidence I do not find
that the defendant is guilty. The de
‘fendant {s discharged.’
‘After the hearing Mr. Lewis stated
that Johnson ‘wil! move to this city,
bringing his family with him and re
main here, as a position will be se-
cured for him,
Johnson fs still held in the bail that
was fixed at the time of his arrest.
Johnson was arrested in a restau-
rant in October, 1917, on complaint of
the police of Charleston, W. Va., that
he was a fugitive from justice. The
most prominent witness in behalf of
Jotnson was O. A, Petty, sergeant-at-
arms of the West Virginia Senate and
a former mayor of Charleston, who
testified to the defendant having been
confined to his bed at the time, in No-
yember 1916, when the offense charged
was alleced to have been committed.

EVERY MAN SHOULD PROTECT
FAMILY
Every Negro Soldier Enlisted at Camp
Upton Insured
Washington, D. C.—Mr. Emmett J.
Scott who, as Special Assistant to the
Secretary of War, is looking after the
Interest of colored soldiers and col.
ored people generally during the pres:
ent war, has fssued the following state.
[ment which {s a real human message o
‘vital importance to the families and
‘lependents of colored soldiers and sail-
ors now serving In the Army or the
Navy of the United States.
“In addition ta thousands of col-
ored soldiers,” said Mr. Scott this week
“who are enlisting in the Regular
Army and Nattonal Guard, thousands
of other colored men have been dratt-
ed under the Selective Service Law
and have been taken away from their
familles for the purpose of, serving
‘their country in this perlod of national
emergency apd need. Further, Mr.
Scott writes: “As a mensure of just-
ice to the men who have been called to
give their lives, if need be, in the
service of thelr country, the Congress
of the United States has enacted the
‘War Insurance Law (sometimes called
the Soldiers’ and , Sailors’ Insurance
Act) which provides for the care and
support of the wife and children of
the enlisted or drafted man during his
service in the Army or Navy, and com-
pels him to contribute up to at least
one-half of his pay for thelr support.
_ “The first obligation of every cltizen
is to his country, but there remains a
‘duty second only to that primary duty,
namely, a man's duty to protect his
family and himself trom eventuallties
of the war. The Soldiers’ and Sailors’
Insurance Act makes is possible for
the soldier and sailor so to provide for
that, no matter what may come, he
may be assured that his loved ones
at home will never become the object
of charity.”
Compulsory Allotment
“The law says the first thing ane
soldier must do is to contribute in fa!
measure to the support of his wife and
children. When he gets into a camp
or cantonment he must answer truth:
fully whether he bas a wife, children,
or divoced wife who is entitled to all-
mony under a decree of court, and if
he has any of these three the Govern-
ment will make what {s called a “com-
pulsory allotment” or what perhaps
might better be called a deduction
from his pay, and this monthly de
duction will be made by the Gorern-
ment whether he wills it or not. A
soldier must allot to his wife and
children at least $15 a month. That
is the minimum. This compulsory al-
lotment, however, apples only to the
wife and children and to the divorced
wife. If the soldier chooses, he may
make a voluntary allotment for the
support of his mother, father, brother,
sister, or other dependent, Byt he may
he compelled to give more than $15
toward his family’s support. That de-
pends ifpon his pay, and depends upon
the size of his family and the extra
amount that the Government gives as
an “allowance.”
Government Allowance
“Tbe amount that the Government
gives, known as the “allowance” {8
fixed In the law and this monthly “al-
lowance” 1s generously contributed by
the Government each month in addl-
tion to the soldier's compulsory allot-
ment"? which is deducted each month
out of his wages. The Government's
monthly “allowance” is $15 for a wife
alone; $25 for a wife and one child;
$32.50 for a wife and two children;
and $5 for each additional child, pro-
vided that the greatest or maximum
amount allowed shall not exceed $50.
A man may give or allot to his family
ae much of his monthly wages as he
pleases over $15, but this amount which

CONTRIBUTING TO LOCAL Work
OF SOCIETY
Branch Now Has Membership of Nearly
‘Four Hundred
The Toussaint L’Overture branch of
the Savannah Chapter of the Red
Cross Society, which was organized
during the month of June, last, and is
‘the second oldest Negro branch of the
society in the state, being superceded
{n age only by that of Athens, hes done
Good work during its nine mopths of
existence. The branch has grown from
twenty-five charter members to a body
nearly four hundred strong, the exact
membership now numbering 387. Of
this ‘number about seventy-five age
workers. \
The branch has \gontrivuted very
largely to the angrehte output of the
‘Savannah Chapter. It has turned to
over 1,000 surgical dressings, a large
amount of knitted garments and has
about twelve civilian relief cases which
it is handling, of which 5 are war
cases and 7 charity.
From its organization and up to a
few days ago the branch maintained
headquarters in The Tribune bullding,
but when its working force became en-
larzed and more room was needed a
committee was sent out to look for
larger quirters. Through the assistance
of Mr. Chas. Ellis a more spacious
Place was secured and now the activi-
ties of the branch are being carried on
from the building \ at the southeast
corner of West Broad and Gaston
streets, use of the two lower rooms of

AFTER LIFTING CROSS TIES AND
SHOVELING
Were Never Pat to Picking Up Serep
Iron as Promised
Eighteen Negro women employeq
Tuesday morning by Foreman T. G6.
Love of the Central of Georgia Rall-
way to do section road, work have
turned fn thelr checks and quit, ‘They
went to work Tuesday morning early
and by 10 o'clock the next day they
had had enongh of this sort of work
which taxes the physique of real able
bodied men.
| The women found it everything but
that which’ they had expected and
gave up in disgust. One of the more
intelligent of the number, Mrs. Florie
Cooper of 4 Pritchard street, sald to
a Tribune reporter Thursday morning
in reference to the work, that the man
who employed them told them that they
were wanted to pick up scrap iron
along the tracks. She sald this sound-
'ed dood to them at $1.75 a day go they
thought they would take it in. They
went to work and the first thing they
were told to do was to lift cross Hes,
six women on either end ‘of a tle.
She said they did this all Tuesday and
that the next morning each one of them
was given a shovel and told to dig
cinders. This they did for about two
hours and then they had a hearty con-
ference in which they decided to quit
as it did not appear as though they
were going to be given work which they
were employed to do, picking up scrap
fron, but were instead put fa lifting
and shoveling.
Another one of the women interview-
ed, corroborated the statement: made
above and further said that if they
| were placed at picking up cross ties
‘and shoveling so near the city there
‘was no telling what they would be call-
ea upon to do if they were carried any
distance from town with no means of
getting back, She said she was’ thra
| with such work for good and was per-
tectly satisfied fo hereafter allow men
to do this sort-of work,
It appears that the work as done by
the women was satisfactory to the
white foreman in charge, and just as
it was thought, from the first day's
‘work, that the rallway section cang
labor shortage problem here was ahont
to he solved. the hottom fell enmniete-
ly out by the refusal of the women to
continue their work any longer and
quitting in disgust.

GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN
Savannah, Ga., March 12, 1918 Having learned of the death of Rev. John Williams of Brunswick, Ga., who crossed the chilly stream, fearing no evil. We mourn his loss and realize how profound must be the sorrow when he is taken away who for so many years has been the comfort and pride of a home and we pray that the Almighty God may assuage the anguish of your bereavement and leave you the cherished, memory of a loved one. He calls our loved ones, but we lost not wholly what He hath given, for they live on earth in thoughts and deeds, as truly as in heaven.
One less at home. The charming circle broken, a dear face missed day by day from its accustomed place, but cleansed and saved and perfected by grace.
One more in heaven; one less on earth, its pains, its sorrows and its toils to share. One less the pilgrim's daily cross to bear;
At home in heaven!
Whereas, it has been the will of our Heavenly Father to take from our midst Rev. John Williams \nfaithful to the end; and
Whereas, by his death we the officers and members of the Woman's auxiliary of Mt. Olive Association, feel that we have lost a father, the state a good citizen, the family a devoted husband and father and a leader among the ministers. Be it Resolved; That we bow in submission to the Almighty's will. We extend our sympathy to the bereaved family and friends. Be it further Resolved: That a copy of these resolutions go down on the face of our minutes and a copy be sent to the family of our deceased father.

Tuesday is "Goat Day" in Arizona. The Food Administration has ruled that goat meat, which is raised extensively in that state and which is not needed for export may be used on "Meatless Tuesdays" as a substitute for beef, mutton and pork.
DRAYTON—In sad but loving memory of my dear devoted daughter, Josephine Juliette Drayton, who departed this life March 13, 1912. We often think of you, no eyes may see us weep, but deep in our hearts your memory we still keep. Oh, how we miss you. Oh how we long for you. But sleep on, dear child, sleep on. Jesus loves thee best. There is a vacant place in our hearts which never can be filled. The flowers we place upon your grave may wither and decay; the love we bare for you will never fade away.
Your mother,

HOLMES—In loving memory of our dear aunt, Mrs. Phyllis Holmes, who departed this life March 11, 1911.
Her memory we still keep deep within our hearts, we love thee, but Jesus loves thee best. Sleep on, dear aunt sleep on.
COLORED SOLDIERS INSURE! PROVIDE FOR FAMILIES
alone, $25 a month; widow and one child $25 per month; widow and two children $47.50 a month; with $5 for each additional child up to two. If there be no widow, then for one child $20 a month; for two children $30; for three children $40. For a widowed mother $20 a month. Compensation for a widow or widowed mother shall continue until death or remarriage; compensation to a child shall cease at the age of 18, or at marriage, unless the child is incompentent. The United States shall pay burial expenses not to exceed $100.
Compensation in case of total or partial disability of the soldier is also provided for under this law. Claim for compensation in case of disability must be filed with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance. Washington, D. C., within 5 years after discharge or resignation, or within five years after the death is officially recorded.
Government War Risk Insurance The "Insurance" feature of the law is especially attractive and deserves most serious consideration and the widest possible publicity. The insurance offered by the United States Government means more than life insurance to the soldier or sailor. It insures against death and total permanent disability. It is provided by the Government for the protection of the soldier and his family, in addition to the soldier's monthly allotment and in addition to the Government's compensa-
tion for the soldier's death or disability. Every soldier and sailor in the Army or Navy of the United Staets should carry a policy of Government insurance up to the limit of $10,000 for the low cost of such a policy will scarcely be missed from his monthly wages. This insurance applies to injuries or death while in the service or after he or she shall have left it.
Exposure to the extra dangers of war makes the cost of life insurance in private insurance companies prohibitive. It was, therefore, a plain duty and obligation for the Government to assume the risk of insuring hundreds of thousands of our soldiers who are making the supreme sacrifice. Under this law, every soldier and sailor and nurse now in the service, commissioned, enlisted or drafted, and of any age, has the right, between now and April 12, 1918, to take out life and total disability Insurance up to $10,000 with the Government, and without medical examination. Those hereafter enlisted or drafted can take out War Risk Insurance within 120 days after enlistment, etc.
The families and dependents of colored soldiers should write at once and urge colored soldiers and sailors to take out war risk, Government, insurance before it is too late. The time limit has been extended to April 12, 1918 in order to give all men in the service a fair opportunity to protect themselves and their families. The cost ranges from 65 cents monthly, at the age of 21, to only $1.20 monthly, at the age of 51, for each $1,000 worth of insurance or only $6.50 per month for a $10,000 policy at the age of 21 years. This is a small charge on a man's pay—small in proportion to
benefits it may bring. The premiums will be deducted from his pay, if he desires, thus eliminating trouble on his part.
It is dangerous to procrastinate. The Government is making a liberal and unprecedented offer to its fighting forces, but the offer is open only for a limited time, April 12, 1918 being the last date for those in the service on or before December, 1917.
Now is the time the act. The United States Government is back of this contract of insurance. Nothing is safer than our country's guarantee.
In case of a policy holder's death, each $1,000 of Government insurance will pay to his beneficiary (wife, child, brother, sister, parent, etc) the sum of $5.75 a month for 240 months, 20 years) less any payments for total and permanent disability. Any losses in excess of premiums received will be borne by the U. S. Government. Insurance protection is not limited by any provision as to line of duty. Thirty, one days' grace are allowed for payment of overdue premiums. If insurance lapses it can be revived or reinstated within six months.
Government War Risk Insurance holds good after the war and even though the soldier leaves the service, provided it is changed in form within five years after the close of the war. No medical examination will be required for this change. This insurance cannot be attached, assigned, or otherwise taken by creditors. Can you think of a better investment? A soldier can take out any amount of insurance he desires from $1,000 to $10,000 (in multiples of $500) A $10-polley will yield his family or dependents $57.50 a month for 240 months (20 years) thus absolutely guaranteeing them against want for many years after his death, and avoiding the temptation to wastefully spend a large amount of money suddenly received. Not only soldiers with families, but even those with no dependents should eagerly grasp this opportunity to take out War Risk (or Government) Insurance. Why? (1) Because the insurance is payable to the soldier in monthly instalments of $5.75 for each $1,000 of insurance should he become totally and permanently disabled. (2) Because he may at some later date acquire, by marriage, a dependent whom he would be glad to make his beneficiary (the name of the beneficiary can be changed at any time within certain prescribed limits.) And (3) When the war is over and he comes out of the army, he may not be able to pass a physical examination for life insurance in a regular company.
Many Colored Soldiers Insured
It is highly encouraging to note that, out of a total strength of 2,212 commissioned and enlisted men, the 372nd Infantry (colored) now stationed at Camp Stuart, Newport News, Va., has written $17,277, 500 of War Risk Insurance, and that after a canvass of the entire regiment only forty men, with no dependents, declined to insure. It is likewise gratifying to note that the 250th Field Artillery at Camp Dix, New Jersey, consisting entirely of colored men, is one among a number of regiments where every officer and man in the regiment is protected by Government insurance.
Think of what this will mean to the
THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE, SATURDAY MARCH 16TH, 1918
Negro race after the war is over! Think of the economic strength and measure of respect it will bring to this great group of loyal Americans, enabling them to buy homes, go into business, and to become self-supporting citizens.
Colored soldiers and sailors: let me urge you to take immediate advantage of the generous provision that has been made by our government in the matter of War Disk Insurance!

To the Producer
Friends and relatives of colored soldiers and sailors: let me urge/that you write and tell our men in the Army and Navy to insure at once, before it is too late. Urge them to insure heavily at cheap Government rates, perhaps cheaper than they can get anywhere in the world, under a contract backed by the United States Government, thereby obtaining insurance and creating an estate that cannot be attached, assigned, or otherwise taken by creditors, and thus providing there families and dependents against want for at least twenty years to come. Tell them to act now, for April 12, 1918 is their last chance.
Editors, ministers, teachers, physicians, business men, and all reading classes among the Negro people are urged to spread information with respect to this Government War Risk Insurance among the families, and, as far as possible, among the colored soldiers, pointing them to this great opportunity.
Application blanks and full information concerning Government insurance may be procured by any soldier from the Bureau of War-Risk Insurance, Washington, D. C., from his commanding officer; or from the insurance officer at the camp or cantonment where he is stationed. All other persons desiring information or help in this connection should address the Director of the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, New National Museum, Washington, D. C.

Our problem is to feed our Allies food as we can of the most concentrat space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork.
Our solution is to eat less of these we have an abundance, and to waste.
Bread and cereals.—Have at least oat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, bread certainly for one meal and, if no pastry.
As to the white flour, vary in vance; then he will not and only as required.
Meat.—Use more readily, robust, place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do more than once daily and learn to save meat cold or in made dishes. Use our nearly the same food value as meat.
Milk.—Use all of the milk, waste whole milk; therefore, use less cream, not using all milk and sour milk, make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk.
Fats (butter, lard, etc.).—Dairy to Therefore, use it on the table as using as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of lard and other fats. Use vegetable Save daily one-third of an ounce of an fat and the glycerine necessary for soap at home, and, in some locales, soap maker, who will thus secure our.
Sugar.—Use less candy and sweet fee. Use honey, maple syrup, and dry without butter or sugar. Do not frost sugar in putting up fruits and jams.
Vegetables and fruits.—We have Double the use of vegetables. They take meat, and, at the same time, are heap potatoes and roots properly and they.
Fuel.—Coal comes from a distance for war purposes. Burn fewer fires.
Our problem is to feed our Allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. These foods are wheat, beef, pork, dairy products, and sugar.
Our solution is to eat less of these and more of other foods of which we have an abundance, and to waste less of all foods.
Bread and cereals—Have at least one wheatless meal a day. Use corn, rye, barley, or mixed-cereal rolls, muffins, and breads in place of white bread certainly for one meal and, if possible, for two. Eat less cake and pastry.
As to the white bread—You can form a bakery, order it a day in advance; then he will not need the needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use bread, cheese, and cooking.
Meat—Use more quality rabbits, and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not use other beef, mutton, or pork more than once daily and then serve smaller portions. Use all left-over meat cold or in made dishes. Use soup more frequently. Use beans, they have nearly the same food value as meat.
Milk.—Use all of the milk, waste no part of it. The children must have whole milk; therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk and cheese freely.
Fats (butter, lard, etc.).—Dairy butter has food values vital to children. Therefore, use it on the table as usual, especially for children. Use as little as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of foiled foods to reduce the consumption of lard and other fats. Use vegetable oils, as olive and cottonseed oil. Save daily one-third of an ounce of animal fat. Waste no soap; it contains fat and the glycerine necessary for explosives. You can make scrubbing soap at home, and, in some localities, you can sell your saved fats to the soap maker, who will thus secure our needed glycerine.
Sugar.—Use less candy and sweet drinks. Use less sugar in tea and coffee. Use honey, maple syrup, and dark syrups for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stint the use of sugar in putting fruits and jams. They may be used in place of butter.
Vegetables and fruits. We have a superabundance of vegetables. Double the use of vegetables. They take the place of part of the wheat and meat, and, at the same time, are healthy. Use potatoes abundantly. Store potatoes and roots properly and they will keep. Use fruits generously.
Fuel. Coal comes from a distance, and our railway facilities are needed for war purposes. Burn power fires. If you can get wood, use it.

The government took over certain food crops and the fuel supply in order that all classes of citizens might share alike. It was to prevent the speculators from running away with the supplies. It was to prevent the rich man from getting all the flour and leaving the poor man only meal and corn. Miss G. A. Hurd will give piano lessons at her home during the summer.

A great many people who have been accustomed to going to the grocery stores and buying what they please, much or little, do not understand why they cannot do so now. They do not understand why the law requires them to buy cereals along with flour, on a fifty-fifty basis. Some of them think that they are being "deprived of liberty."
If it were not for the government control many of those who are kicking now would not be able to get even the amount the law allows them to have.

SUMMER SCHOOL APRROVED
We did not doubt that Supt. Gibson
and the Board of Education would get
squarely and solidly behind Prof. Gad-
sden and his committee on the pro-
posed, and now assured, summer school.
‘We believe that they would be quick
to sée the wisdom and excellence of
the plan, and thelr proposal to aid it
to the extent of four hundred dollars,
means that they look with high favor
and a positive enthusiasm upon it It
illustrates that the Chatham couaty
Board of Education is wiliing to ald
those who are willing to help them-
selves.
A month ago when the matter first
came to light, The Tribune said that
“it Is about the most excellent idea
that has come along here in many
aday,’ and we see today, no reason to
take any other view except to express
increasing enthusiasm and@ favor in the
plan.
We have been glad to learn that the
organizers are plying the country as-
siduously and cautionsly so as to bring
to the teaching staff of the new school
, only the very best talent, and such as
are admirably prepared to give the
teachers of this section and this city
just the instruction they most need.
Conscienffous ‘and high motives alone,
will govern the choice of teachers and
the determination of curricula, This
is the way of success in any enterprise,
and we commend the honesty and good
faith of these leaders.
We hope that many teachers in the
interior of the state will avail them-
selves of this splendid opportunity,
‘which so well combines the timely prin-
ciples of both excellence and economy.
COLORED WOMEN AT FACTORY
LABOR
A million men taken away trom the
factories and manofacturing plants of
the nation and put at industries sprung
up in consequence of war; a million
more under arms and preparing to
take thelr places in the trenches; per-
haps a million more called out of their
regular routine and put into the voried
departments ‘of government and charg-
ed with the detail of planning and pre-
paring for those who must go to war,
—it is all this thing that has thrown
upon the women of this nation, as it
has upon the women of Europe, the
Breat task of filling men’s places in
many spheres of the world5* work. It
has meant to a great extent the indus-
trial and social emancipation of wo-
men, and has given ber the independ-
ence and the opportunity for self-act-
ivity she has so long desired. It may
mean her full-fledged enfranchisement,
politically, in Amerfca, before things
return to the normal. .
It has been a greater concession to
colored women than to any other, for
the factory as a field of labor is virgin
to her,—long enslaved as a domestic,
simply, 2nd restricted to farm and
household service.
Colored women are going Into the
factories all over the country, and be-
cause, used to long hours and given to
conscientious service, they are proving a
very satisfactory substitute for men,
where training and other conditions fit
them to work. .
Here fo Savannah, 2, great many In-
dustries could well afford to employ
numbers of colored women, in fact,
could do so to advantage, if ofly they
were willing to give the same condl-
tions ;of comfort and wages they do
to*other employees, It would pay
them to provide decent rest-rooms, de-
cent duncheon provisions, sanitary and
healthful work surroundings, suitable
‘téifets and good honsing where they
were expected to live near thelr work.
These suggestions will not appear 50
‘unusual amd far-fetched jn the near fu-
ture as they may at present seem, for
we expect a great many more of the
doors to open to female laborers in the
‘yery near fature. Employers who have
the good judgment to be the first to see
the inevitability of this new sort of Ja-
bor and who also shall be the first to
realize that it is wise to make the nec-
essary and reasonably comfortable pro-
visions for that labor, these, will reap
the rewards of It.
It ts unfortunate that a great many
‘men, long accustomed to dealing with
colored people as laborers and workers,
feel that they know Negro labor so
well that they cannot be told anything
new about it, Practically all of these
judging from the rough and incons!d-
erate way they handle thelr workers
the lack of provision for their com:
fort, etc, feel that anything {s good
enough for Negro laborers. The fu
ture is going ‘to convince them that

THD REALIZATION OF WAR
| Americans are commencing to real-
ize what it means for America to be at
= and for American soldiers to be
‘taking thelr places at the front In the
‘first line trenches, in an American sec-
tor.
| The casualty lists, embracing those
who are killed or injured at the front,
killed or injured in nerfal combat, and
those who die at sea, are already tak-
ing the bold-faced type on the front
pages of our newspapers and furnisb-
ing the absorbing topic In every line
of business and in every walk of life.
Americans have so far only half-
realized the seriousness of the situ-
ation, We have seen the mobilization
of men and materials; watched the
varied detail of organizing and com-
mandeering by various departments of
sar observed the hubbub and clash
of conquess in its effort to facilitate
the war boards in putting the nation,
military and elyillan, on a war basis.
‘But we have not felt the pang of fam-
Ine, the warm rush of blood and the
band of death which the other bel-
Hgerents have felt. We have just be-
‘gun to pay the greater sacrifices of war
—the lives of the choicest American
youth,
From now on, until peace shall be
won, we shall, like the rest, be making

FAILING OF OUR UTY
In an address on the life and char-
acter of the immortal Lincoln, before
the Social Clubs Union, Prof. Gads-
den, called attention to the regrettable
fact that many of our people have ‘ne
glected or forgotten to honor and re
vere and recall the lives and the incl-
dents associated with the lives
of the nation’s great men whose
lives haev been spent in the ad-
vancements o fthe Interests of the Ne-
gro people, He characterized it as a
species of ingratitude that we are so
indifferent and negligent of the many
splendid characters of the past which
have meant so much to us,
In on investigation of the pupils of
hig own school, he found that even
‘among boys and girls in their ‘teens,
few knew of Garrison, Lovejoy, Beech-
er, Howe, Stowe and even of Douglass,
‘Dunbar and Wheatley of our own race.
‘He pointed out that other nations and
races revered their heroes, Italy its
Garibaldt, France its Napoleon, Germ-
any its Bismatk and so on.
The fault Iles partly with the parents
“(when they know) and partly with
‘the teachers. Roth of these parties

A NEW ECONOMIC
PROBLEM AND AN OPINION
By Frank Callen, Worker With
Colored Children
| It seems meet, to call to the atten-
ton of Negro‘ Savannah, a new fact
which the exodus and the war have
brought to our very doors! a new con-
dition which demands immediate and
positive attention, A happening which
indicates that the time for conserra-
tive, {ntelligent, sympathetic and or-
ganized action has come,
| On Tuesday, March 12, I discovered
fl gang of eighteen Negro women sec-
ton hands, repairing tricks and doing
the other duties of section hands. The
wage of these women fs one dollar and
seventy-five cents a day. They are in
the employ of the Central of Georgia
Rallroad and they were working about
‘one mile out on the Louisville road near
the first coal chute from the Liberty
street station.

cumstances aind regardless of their ex-

women constitnte our last line of re-
serve and we should sec to it that every
available supply of mon is exnauxed.
| before we call on them to take up such
strennous physical labors as those, by
nature, assigned to men, *
It is our hounden duty to protect and
gafogurrd thelr welfare and hy so do-
ing bring chout a method of prevention
(for their children. We must see that
these women work under fair condl-
tions such as, sympathetic foremen,
[proper sanitary arrangements, reason-
‘able hours, a before hand contract as to
employers Hability for injury and death
and a fair insurance rate under the
new co-operate plan.
Indzing from the wage of the women,
the company hhs not secured men, he
cause a man’s wage has not yet been
offered. Stil it seems that if a wo-
man is to do a man's work, there fs no
‘reason why she should not get a man’s
wage; or equivalent in shorter hours,
rest periods, or some other form’ of re
Hef.
Beyond this, from a constructive race
|view point, we must not lose the al-
ready gained advantages, in the eco-
nomic world, by allowing our women
to work in groups on jobs where men
customarily work and under the same
conditions, at a lower wage.
‘The thing now to be done, in my
opinion, is to have our civie organl-
zations look into this particular matter
and straighten out things, if necessary.
Then, -let our truly intelligent and
sincere leaders, churchmen and Iny-
men with a fair representation of wo-
men; help the women who work in the
yarious industries here organize them-
‘selves into a Working Women’s League.
Such an organization would protect
them, raise the standard for thousands
of their sisters, who for years have
been under paid domestics and the or-
ganization, well perfected, would be &
safeguard to the increasing price for
labor which the Negro man is getting
in the South, at this time. We should
watch thls organization zealously and
with eagle eyes, to see to it, that the
gullible Negroes among us do not ex-
ploit these people for personal notoriety
and personal pecuniary gain; rather
that they be organized by leaders per-
meated with the spirit of social and
economic justice to all. We must keep
the highest standards for our women
ever before us, We must not overlook
preventative measures for our child-
Ten. We must be ever watchful of
these problems and gains due to the
war.

Exhibition =zill on th the fatmer ana the enrilen- |
ing of farmers at the Fort Valley High
and Industrial school March 7th and
8th proved to be one of the largest and
most enthuslastic gatherings ever held
in that section of the state. Repre-
‘sentatives from 14 counties attended
the ‘meeting and lstened to most in-
structive and inspiring addresses from
‘government representatives and men
prominent in business and educational
affairs of the state.
The princijal feature of the meeting
this year was an exhibition of home-
cured meats by farmers from Houston,
Crewford, Monroe and Macon coun-
tes. The excellence of the exhibit
was attested hy the commendation of
‘Dr. G. A. Anthony, U. S. Meat In-
spector who came from Washington,
‘D, ©. for the purpose of judging the
quality of the meat as a basls for
awarding over $200.00 worth of prizts.
‘Dr. Anthony In company with Dr. A
L. Hirleman, U. S. Meat Inspector in
charge of Hog Cholera Control in
Georgia, spent more than a day inspect-
ing carefully every piece of meat and
at the end pronounced it the finest col-
lection of home-cured meats he had
‘ever seen. Trof. Jas. E. Downing,
plg club agent for Georgia, who was
chiefly instrumental in haying Dr, An-
‘thony and Dr. Hirleman attend the
meeting, stated that in view of the pos-
sibillty of being compelled to take over
the packing plants in order to sup-
ply the army, the U. S. Government
is deeply interested in the question of
home-cured meats and is anxious not
only to encourage the ralsing of a
larger number of hogs but in giving
farmers informatior as to the very
best method of curlng meat, Prof.
Downing paid some of the farmers
compliments in stating that they had
followed literally the instruction given
them for curing meat when he was here
two years ago with the result that they
put on exhibition this year prize win-
ning hams and bacon.
Mr. W. T. Anderson, editor of the
Macon Daily Telegram and Mr. A. J.
Evan, president of" the Citizeus Bank
of Fort Valley, made excellent aidress-
es in which they laid stress on the
need for every one to be patriotic and
do his best and commend the farm-
ers for the splendiqa showing made by
the display of homecured meats,
Many were disappointed that Princi-
pal M. W. Reddick of Americus ‘In.
stitute could not make the address for
‘which he was scheduled. Mr. Red-
dick sent a telegram expressing his
regret and stating that his work as
assistant state director of the Thrift
Stamp Campaign made it impossible
for him to be present.
Mr. 0. S. Oneal, U. S, Farm Demon-
stration Agent, deserves special credit
for the response by the farmers who
worked under his direction, the artistic
way in which the large collection of
‘meat was displayed and for the suc-
cess of the meeting as a whole.
The women’s part in the production
and conservation of food was not
overlooked, Interesting —_addresses
and demonstrations were made by Mrs.
Ressle Stanley Wood, emergency agent
for South Georgia, assisted hy Miss
Georgia Crews, district agent, and Mrs.
O. $. Oneal, local agent and Mrs. 0.
A. Dwight, Jeanes Supervisor. The
local ‘workers assisted by the teachers
of the county schools had on exhibition
fine specimens of butter and over 300
dozen eggs. Practical demonstrations
in the economical use of food products
were made In the chapel with expla-
‘nation of how to use to best advantage
products grown on the farm.
A notable feature of the gathering
was the large number of farmers driv-
ing automobiles, there being between
40 gnd 50 machines parked on the
‘school grounds during the exercises.
Everyone went away lovd in their
praise of a most excellent meeting
with firm detenmination to prove thelr
loyalty by producing larger quantities
and better qualities of food etuffa than
ever before.
Just beneath the stars and stripes
and flanked on either side by great
ae, af ham and hieeon wee the in-
England and Italy have regulated
the sale of cream and curtailed the
use of butter, in order that their child
population might receive the more ade-
quate and economical siourishment of-
fered by whole milk. Germany, early
in the war, provided that the adult
civilization might have milk only,after
the needs of children, mothers, invalids,
and the army were met.
It is the duty of every individual
community tosee that {ts children hare
milk of good quality and in sufficient
amount to assure thefr norma! develop-
ment. To do this the price of milk
must be controlled or fixed, and the
milk supply to infants and children
carefully safeguarded.
| We would like to see all our schools
organize clubs of boys and girls who
will go to the farmer and the garden-
er and help harvest crops.

Sunday Mrs. Dancy, Miss Pinckney and Mr. Lovett brought wistaries and American beauties and carnations and placed them in the vaces on the Grades and nature did the rest. Perhaps never before has St. Augustine numbered such a fine congregation as was witnessed last Sunday. The high celebration at 11 a. m. touched the note of eternal hope, infinite possibilities and final triumph. Hence, then, was an intense yearning for the solemn vesper at 8 p. m. Such response and hearty singing by the large congregation makes one truly desirous of going to the house of the Lord. Mr. Byler and A. Roach, Misses Porter, Toomer and Pinkney are steering the Sunday school to success. On next Sunday at 6:30 a. m. there will be a corporate communion and meditation for the vestry and men's guild. Services at 11 a. m. and at night. Father Brown will speak on the subject "Conqueror."
Last Sunday at the "Y" was known as "Patriotic Day." The first number on the program was "America." The meeting at times ran wild with enthusiasm, in fact, it was the best program ever staged by the local branch, of the "Y." The principal speaker was Mr. W. G. Sutlive, editor of the Savannah Press. The speaker had said but a very few words before those who heard him had come to the conclusion that he was one of those full-fledged Americans who had that death-like determination that the Germans should and must be defeated. eH spoke at length on the barbarous warfare of the Germans, and their intentions of territorial acquisition on a world-wide scale, and then of the unmentionable crimes committed by them on natives of their newly acquired territories. That the Huns were given a severe arraignment by him is putting it rather mild. He concluded by appealing to his hearers to do their bit in helping Uncle Sam to win the war and told how each one could help in his own way. Prof. R. R. Wright, Jr., was on for a four minutes talk. Of course he took a little more but every one was sorry when he concluded. He carefully and calmly told of the undisputed patriotism of the Negroes of America to their country, but said, "I can hardly find reasons to believe that the Negroes are given consideration commensurate to their patriot-

AN EASTER PROGRAM
One of the most beautiful programs that has been issued for Sunday schools who desire to observe Easter has just come from the press of the National Baptist Publishing Board, located at Nashville, Tenn., R. H. Boyd, D. D. This little book is known as the Concert Quarterly. This year it features "Prince Spring and the Fairies," which is a musical play arranged by the editor of the Concert Quarterlies, who is especially employed to get up these programs four times a year. This has gone on for the past fourteen years, but it seems that for 1918 the editor took higher ground. In the program not, only the play is given, but it describes the costume of a fairy queen and then the queen's attendants, it shows how the four little girls are to be dressed as butterflies, while twelve other little girls are to represent spring flowers, and then one of the boys, the prince of spring, who is to have six attendants. Following this comes Jack Frost. Throughout the entire publication there has been music especially written for the occasion. It is understood that already thousands of these copies have been sent to the Sunday schools throughout the United States.

F. A. B. CHURCH, FRANKLIN SQ.
Rev. T. J. Goodall, pastor. On Sunday last the services were both inspiring and interesting. The early prayer meeting was lead by Dea. W. H. Ward. The scripture lesson was read by Lie. Robbison a. which the pastor preached an abo sermon. Sunday school began at the usual hour, the lesson was demonstrated by the superintendent. Quite an excellent program was rendered at the B. Y. P. U.. A large number has joined the church during the revival services throughout this week. At 11:30 a. m. tomorrow the pastor will discuss the following subject: "Christ the suffering servant of humanity." The public is cordially invited. Order of services: Prayer meeting 5:30 a. m.; preaching 11:30; Sunday school 10:30; B. P. X. U. G. p. m.; preaching 8 p. m.
The law says to the wheat grower, flour-mill man, whole sale dealer and retaller—that they shall not charge more than a certain amount for their products. It also tells them that they cannot sell more than a certain amount to one customer.
WAYCROSS, GA. ITEMS
The superintendent of city schools. Prof. A. G. Miller, gave the pupils of the city system quite a treat on the 11th. Promptly at 11 a.m. over 1,000 white children filled the Orpheum Theatre to witness the Gardening Campaign that was being carried on with the assistance of their parents and teachers, by the children of Chicago. At. 12 m., nearly 1,000 colored children filled the same theatre to see the same illustrations in the form of moving pictures. It goes without saying that both races received much inspiration which will result in more extensive and intensive gardening for Wayeross.
The Willing Workers Club of Galnes Chapel A. M. E. church rendered a nice program consisting of readings, recitations and music, both instrumental and vocal to the delight of an appreciative audience. The president, Mrs. Georgia Thomas deserves much credit for giving the public such a treat.
Rev. J. F. Duhart, pastor of Mt. Zion A. M. E. church has on a big five and ten dollar rally, that is each lady the former and each gentleman the latter. from which he hopes to realize several hundred dollars. Of course each loyal member will do his nest.

Much interest is being manifested in the Madam Anita Pitti Brown concert which comes off on the 29th. The net proceeds go to the Y. M. C. A. fund which has already done over half of the work necessary to purchase a very desirable lot. The public will, no doubt, make this concert an unparalleled success.
At the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Sams, 32 Samuel street, Mrs. Willie T. Dugger entertained informally with a four o'clock war luncheon, Wednesday March 6th, in honor of Mrs James E. Whittington of Jacksonville, Fla. The luncheon tables were decorated with vases filled with bridal wreaths, Easter lilies and wisteria. The places of the guests were marked by cards and candles, and a small boquet of violets.Five courses were served. Those invited were Mrs. James E. Whittington, Mrs. M. E. Reddick, Mrs. D. D. Simpson, Mrs. Jackson Lewis, Mrs. Fannie Mitchell, Mrs. Collier Miller, Mrs. Andrew Milo, Mrs. M. Pierce., Mrs. W. M. Gardner of Philadelphia, Mrs. T. M.

NOTES ABOUT EASTER AND AFRICA
We have 13 American workers out there now.
Africa has only one missionary to every 133,000 souls.
Our Easter songs are good. Two of them by Dr. Tindley, a man of our own people.
Surely this great Africa should be known to all our people in churches and schools.
Africa contains one-fourth of all the land surface of the whole earth, and one-seventh of all the people in the world live in Africa.
Colored Baptists during the last 30 years have given to Africa 62 workers, and trained more than 100 native workers and evangelists.
Africa's natural wealth equals that of any other two continents. Africa produces one-third of the world's gold and 50 per cent. of all the diamonds.
The Easter program is a reproduction of sketches from Jean Mackenzie's book "African Adventures," which beautifully portrays the work of Christianity among African tribes.
With all Africa's natural wealth, there is a greater wealth of 150,000,000 or more souls for whom Jesus died, and they need the gospel. Will we go, let go or help go? At it, all at it all the time.
Let every pastor see that every department of his church joins the Sunday school on the fifth Sunday of March in the Easter exercises so all may help our workers in Africa. War conditions make it imperative that we be loyal to the Lord as never before.
For years the Foreign Mission Board has sent from 100,000 to 250,000 programs to our Sunday schools. This year, because of the tremendous cost of material and labor, we must confine our sending to those who will remember our Foreign Mission work on Easter Sunday.
After 21 years of our very best self, given to interesting our Baptist Zion in the redemption of Africa, on this February 13 my twenty-first anniversary, I am saddened over the "little done and the vast undone." Enlistment of 500 churches who will give weekly and report monthly will greatly aid our workers and cheer your old field hand.
Yours in His Service.

(Continued from Page One) this building being allowed by the Minis estate. The branch has fitted up the rooms very nicely with the aid of several Negro citizens and the work of the ladies there, dressed in their caps and white uniforms, is attracting much attention from passersby.
There has been one class of eleven members under chairmanship of Mrs. M. E. Tolbert, to finish civilian relief. It was composed of Mrs. Tolbert, Mrs. A. E. Orner, Mrs. M. Belcher, Miss Helen Lee, Mrs. G. S. Williams, Mrs. Lizzle Jones, Mrs. Willie Blair, Mrs. Edwina K. Thomas, Mrs. W. G. Hill, Mrs. R. S. Taylor and Miss Mae Stewart.
Those who have finished the class in surgical dressings, taught by Mrs. A. R. Lawton and Mrs. MacDonnell, are now pupil teachers conducting their own classes are Mrs. J. L. Jackson, chairman; Mrs. Geo. S. Williams, Mrs. Frances Dilworth, Miss Amanda Jones and Mrs. Albert Jackson.
The branch has organized three senior auxiliaries. One at St. Philip church, Charles street; one at Butler Presbyterian Church and one at Asbury M. E. Church. Aside from these a junior auxiliary has been formed at Cuyler street school and one at Beach Institute with two others in progress of formation. The Cuyler auxiliary is now busily engaged making 100 hospital garments, while the Beach students will be put to work next week.
Another important work which the branch has taken up is that of first aid. One class of eight members, under Dr. W. A. Harris, has already completed this work while another, under Dr. F. S. Belcher, is now being conducted.
It will be particularly interesting to know that the civilian relief class has already worked up several very interesting cases. In one of these cases the family of a Negro soldier, who for insubordination is confined to the guardhouse, was found to be in destitute circumstances because his pay had been cut off and therefore the wife and children here were in want. The lady who was assigned to this case has succeeded in getting relief from the Red Cross fund and now this family is being adequately looked after. Another case of interest is one which has been looked after by one of the local ladies, which has carried her on several occasions to a nearby city for information. The case has attracted the attention of the headquarters and the lady who has worked it has been highly commended. The successful work of the ladies of this committee in giving aid to destitute families of soldiers has had a very good effect upon the masses of Negroes who are now beginning to be convinced that the organization renders aid to the needy of both races.
The various committees of the branch are:
Administration, Mrs. A. F. Orner, chairman. Membership, Mrs. G. S. Williams, chairman.
Educational, Mrs. Maria Jackson,
Chairman.
The officers of the branch are:
Chairman, Mrs. R. S. Taylor
Vice Chairmän, Mrs. J. H. Butler.
Secretary, Mrs. M. E. Belcher.
Treasurer, Mrs. Lucy Taylor.
