The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Council Asked To Provide Nurses For Tuberculosis Clinic COMMITTEE.. OF WHITES AND NEGROES MAKE REQUEST Urban League Donates Yamacraw Centre for Negro Clinic A joint committee representing the Associated Charities, The Savannah 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 visiting nurses, one white, the other colored, for an anti-tuberculosis campaign in this city. 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 conspicuous lack of provision for the care of tuberculosis victims and suspects by this city as against the great need for it, and called attention to the great amount of money being spent by neighboring cities, including Jacksonville, Atlanta and Chattanooga. Mr. Lemon, addressing Council on behalf of the Urban League, said: "The health and living conditions surrounding many Negroes in this city, particularly in sections designated as Frogtown and Yamacraw, are passing serious, they are tragic. Of the 155 persons who died from tuberculosis in Savannah last year, 132 or more than 85 per cent were Negroes, as against only 23 whites, less than 15 per cent. Patients in Negro hospitals are exposed to these victims of infections and communicable diseases, 26 dying of tuberculosis 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 suffering mainly on account of overcrowding and bad sanitary conditions. He said 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. He assured Council that not only the Urban League, but the colored people generally would willingly aid in establishing this important work. Dr. Harris and Love and others have already volunteered their services, the former having already rendered much valuable service in this regard thru out the city. The committee included Rev. S. B. McGloham, chairman; Miss Cinnamond Mrs. Craig Barrow, Mrs. Dreyer, Dr. J. O. Baker, Maj. W. W. Gordon and J. G. Lemon, tition to the committee on the whole. Council referred the committee's pe- JUNIOR MUSICAL CLUB At the last meeting of the Junior Musical Club, the following program was rendered. Chorus. Instrumental solo. Avlre Mae Williams.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY MARCH 16TH, 1918 Special Assistant To Secretary Of War Emmett Scott Tells Negro Soldiers to Insure JOHN JOHNSON NOT TO GO BACK TO WEST VA. National Equal Rights League Wins Big Victory Boston, Mass., March 2—The great victory of Attorney Wm. Lewis, senior counsel of the National Equal Rights League, which began and fathered the whole fight, and of all the rest on Thursday of this week was permanently chronicled Friday morning by the Boston Post of March 1 as follows: "John Johnson will not be surrendered to the federal authorities of West Va. "The Negro, whom Governor McCall last November refused to extradite on the demand of Governor Cornwall, yesterday afternoon won a second victory. In a crowded court room at the Federal building United States Commissioner Hayes declared that "probable causes" to believe that Johnson had violated the Mann white slave act had not been shown, and he was forthwith ordered released. This was later modified and pending the appeal by the government to the District Court on one ruling of Commissioner Hayes during the hearing, Johnson will remain on his present hall of $2,500. But federal officials themselves practically admit that the case is ended." Wm. H. Lewis, Esq., was Johnson's attorney, assisted by B. R. Wilson, Esq., of the N. A. A. C. P., J. W. Schenck, Esq., C. L. Raysor Esq., ex-U. S. Commissioner R. W. Hale volunteer in charge. In announcing his decision, Commissioner Hayes said: "I have examined the evidence. I have examined the law. This decision is a responsibility placed upon me by law, and the question is whether or not by this evidence I find the defendant guilty... "There has been introduced into this case testimony as to what took place in Charleston immediately prior to the indictment. That does not affect me; and upon the evidence I do not find that the defendant is guilty. The defendant is discharged." After the hearing Mr. Lewis stated that Johnson will move to this city, bringing his family with him and remain here, as a position will be secured for him. Johnson is still held in the ball that was fixed at the time of his arrest. Johnson was arrested in a restaurant 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 Johnson 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 November 1916, when the offense charged was alleged to have been committed. ORATORICAL CONCERT The domestic science department of Georgia State College of which Mr. W. G. Hill is teacher will give a oratorical concert at St. Phillip A. M. E. church, Friday night March 22. A well prepared program will be rendered.

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 colored people generally during the present war, has issued the following statement which is a real human message of vital importance to the families and dependents of colored soldiers and sailors now serving in the Army or the Navy of the United States. "In addition to thousands of colored soldiers," said Mr. Scott this week "who are enlisting in the Regular Army and National Guard, thousands of other colored men have been drafted under the Selective Service Law and have been taken away from their families for the purpose of serving their country in this period of national emergency and need. Further, Mr. Scott writes: "As a measure of justice to the men who have been called to give their lives, if need be, in the service of their 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 compels him to contribute up to at least one-half of his pay for their support. "The first obligation of every citizen 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 from eventualities 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 that a soldier must do is to contribute in fair measure to the support of his wife and children. When he gets into a camp or cantonment he must answer truthfully whether he has a wife, children, or divorced wife who is entitled to allmony under a decree of court, and if he has any of these three the Government will make what is called a "compulsory allotment" or what perhaps might better be called a deduction from his pay, and this monthly deduction will be made by the Government 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 allotment, however, applies 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. But he may be compelled to give more than $15 toward his family's support. That depends upon his pay, and depends upon the size of his family and the extra amount that the Government gives as an "allowance." Government Allowance "The amount that the Government gives, known as the "allowance" is fixed in the law and this monthly "allowance" is generously contributed by the Government each month in addition to the soldier's compulsory allotment" 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, provided that the greatest or maximum amount allowed shall not exceed $50. A man may give or allot to his family as much of his monthly wages as he pleases over $15, but this amount which the Government adds or allows is defi- The result of underfeeding or indiscriminate food substitution in childhood are startingly shown abroad as a result of the war, and are beginning to be evident in our own great cities.

Colored Red Cross Doing Good Work 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 in age only by that of Athens, has done good work during its nine months 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 contributed very largely to the aggregate output of the Savannah Chapter. It has turned in 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 building, but when its working force became enlarged and more room was needed a committee was sent out to look for larger quarters. Through the assistance of Mr. Chas. Ellis a more spacious place was secured and now the activities 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 (Continued on Page Eight) nitely fixed in each case. The father, mother, grandchildren, brother or sister of a soldier or sailor cannot get a government allowance unless they are actually dependent upon the man in whole or in part, and they can't get it even then to a greater extent than he has been habitually contributing to their support; only in case he has been contributing more than he has to allot to them can he come to the Government for the balance, and then subject to the limitation that all the government gives to each dependent mother or father is $10 per month, and to each dependent brother, sister, or grandchild $5 per month. "The compensation" feature of the law is somewhat like the present system of pensions or Workman's Compensation Act. If, as a result of injuries sustained or disease contracted in the line of duty, an officer, enlisted or drafted man or an Army or Navy nurse should be physically disabled provision is made for compensation of from $30 to $100 a month to him according to rank and pay and should be die, compensation of from $20 to $75 a month will be paid to his wife, his child or his widowed mother—these being the only persons entitled to receive compensation in case of death of the soldier. NUMBER 28 Negro Women As Railway Section Laborers Quit Job AFTER LIFTING CROSS TIES AND SHOVELING Were Never Put to Picking Up Scrap Iron as Promised Eighteen Negro women employed Tuesday morning by Foreman T. G. Love of the Central of Georgia Railway to do section road, work have turned in their checks and quilt. They went to work Tuesday morning early and by 10 o'clock the next day they had had enough of this sort of work which taxes the physique of real able boiled 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 said this sounded dood to them at $1.75 a day so they thought they would take it in. They went to work and the first thing they were told to do was to lift cross ties, six women on either end of a tie. 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 conference 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 iron, but were instead put to lifting and shoveling. Another one of the women interviewed, corroborated the statement made above and further said that if they were placed at picking up cross ties and shovelling so near the city there was no telling what they would be called upon to do if they were carried any distance from town with no means of getting back. She said she was thru with such work for good and was perfectly satisfied to 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 railway section gang labor shortage problem here was about to be solved, the bottom fell completely out by the refusal of the women to continue their work any longer and quitting in disgust. NEGROES CONTINUE TO ENLIST IN ARMY As the days pass, the number of colored men in the army increases by leaps and bounds, for many are voluntarily enlisting daily. The colored men not within the draft ages may enlist to do stevedore work, and they are joining the army by the hundreds. Among those from this section who volunteered for service, during the past week are: Jesse Mills, Orangeburg, S. C. John C. Wise, Vaucules, S. C. Andrew G. Mason, Six Mile, S. C. Henry W. Hassall, Charleston, S. C. Charlie N. Miles, Blenheim, S. C. Asger Rowel, Marion, S. C. Jess Sanders, Ware Shoals, S. C. Willie Sampson, Clinton, S. C Ellott Gilliam, Newberry, S.

The recruiting officials state that, while there are many colored men now in the service, there are vacancies and wonderful opportunities for many more, and they advise any who are thinking of joining to grasp their opportunities before it is too late. Any recruiting officer or postmaster will be glad to give information and answer all questions of those contemplating enlistment. PAGE TWO 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. Mrs. J. V. Walker, Treasurer Mrs. E. B.

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! coal To the Miner dig it 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 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.

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.

Among The Masons Keep the Blue Lodge in Front In these days of hustle and bustle and rustle, men hanker after the goal before they have fairly started in the race. To be a Mason and hail-fellow-met and call them brother is to many aspirants for Masonry the be-all and the end-all of their aims in Masonry. And when they get started and find they are no nearer the goal of their desires, but that they must "pungle" up for the Royal Arch, the Council, the Commandery or the other route, the Scottish Rite, and once more do they "pungle" ere they gain the right to wear a red fez and pretty button that tells they are Shriners (and of such there are hundreds), and we have nothing to say against this, as it fulfils their wishes and harms no one. But what do such know of Masonry—its beauties, its hoary antiquities, its associations? Far better it were that it should be necessary, as indeed it is in most countries, that there could be a recent interval of time between each step in the Masonle ladder and the next above, and that a candidate should know something of the meaning of what he has beheld before he takes on himself further responsibilities and obligations and has new beauties unfolded to his gaze. This rush after the so-called higher degrees is what keeps Masonry poor in its attendance and tends to bring it into some disrepute among the masses, who can only judge by what they see and whose knowledge of the craft culminates in the idea that "Oh, he must be a high Mason because he wears a Schriner button." Keep your mother in Masonry, the Blue Lodge, ever before you; much as you admire the rest of the degrees, make it your guide, philosopher and friend. You can have no better model of honesty, probity and the faithful discharge of your duty to God and man, than are inculcated in the three degrees you began with. They are a standby that will serve you through life and befriend you on your deathbed, and even then will not leave you to be buried alone, but will drop the symbol of immortality into the grave with your fading body, in the hope that you may spring again into new life in the regions beyond. And in all we have said we hope we shall not be thought to be declying the value of the various branches of Masonry. They are much like the sermon of a good divine who in his text symbolizes the Blue Lodge and its ministering, and who founds on that text a sermon carrying out to their fullest scope the fundamental principles contained in his text.—Square and Compass. Today Masonry stands in all the splendor of an acknowledged monarch, whose sway is world-wide, and whose law is love; whose bond is the magnetic chain of clasped hands that encircle the earth, and whose points of order are "lose holy "five points" that touch every obligation of man to man and God, while the heraldry that emblazons the Masonic crest points us to the mysterious light that beams over the Mercy Seat in the Temple of God. Selected. The Essence of Masonry Whether, with some enthusiasts, we place the birth of Masonry prior to the building of the ark—whether, with Dr. Andersen, we go back to the beginning and attribute to Adam a knowledge of geometry as the foundation of Masonry and architecture—whether we date its inception from the building of the Tower of Pábel, or the Temple of Solomon, or the Pharole structures—whether we believe that Moses was a Grand Master Joshua his Deputy, and Aholiab and Bezaleel Grand Wardens, or that Solomon was the first Grand Master we hold that we may not justifiably go further back than they will carry us, and so regard it as beginning with certain German societies of operative Masons which flourished in the eleventh and twelfth centuries, and were known as Bauhutten—we are, in any of these events, unable to actually prove our case, even to the extent of the requirements of the courts of our land, beyond a reasonable doubt. It is said that an eminent jurist, when asked for the secret of his great success, replied: "Deny everything, admit nothing." Unlike this one-sided individual, but, on the contrary, approaching the question reverently and with open minds, it is probable that the great majority of Masons accept the explanation of its origin which Masonry itself so beautifully and consistently sets forth, and for the truth of which its words and ceremonies furnish so much internal evidence, and believe that Masonry, substantially as we have it now, was organized by King Solomon at the building of the temple. For example, the Rev. A. N. Keigwin, in a sermon at the dedication of the magnificent Masonic Temple in Philadelphia, in 1873, used the following language: "Historically, Masonry dates from the building of the Temple of Solomon. No one at the present day disputes this claim." But when all is said as to any one of these theories, the decision will still be in accordance with the old Scotich verdict, "Not proven!" It would seem, therefore, that history can throw but little light upon the subject of our quest. The important question is not when and where Freemasonry had its birth, and how it grew, but what is it, and what it is doing for the benefit of humanity. What is it that so differentiates it from all other secret orders and societies? What can account for its wonderful growth, and for the charmed life that has borne it unarmed through the many centuries? Is it not the fact that it draws its inspiration and its teaching from the great light itself?—London Freemason. Faith "Without faith the soul is dead—is shruned in doubt and indoision and despair whose night never lifts. Faith is the child of love—the mother of laughter—the very antithesis of evil, for no man—no Mason—who has confidence in his brother can be wicked in mind, nor will he betray a friend. Confidence in others and self means honesty and decency and industry and these together with that intimate association of Masonic good-fellowship, which is the heritage of warm hearts, mean true happiness and real success."—Ancient Lodge Notice. Duties of Investigators Question. Is it the duty of an investigating committee to inquire into the physical qualifications of a candidate? Also to ascertain his belief in God? Answer. It is the duty of the committee to ascertain every important fact concerning the qualifications and fitness of the candidate. Physical, mental and moral fitness is each vital, and the committee should ascertain concerning these. One who does not believe in God is utterly disqualified. So also is a man who cannot conform literally to what the several degrees require of him. The members of the Investigating committee should report adversely if either o fthese qualifications is wanting. Illinois Freemason. "Character of a Mason" In the Farmer's Almanac for 1823, published at Andover, Mass, the following article was printed under the above heading: "The real Freemason is distinguished from the rest of mankind by the uniform, unrestrained rectitude of his conduct. Other men are honest in the fear of punishment which the law might inflict; they are religious in expectation of being rewarded or in dread of the devil in the next world. A Freemason would be just if there were no laws, human or divine, except those who are written in the heart by the THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY MARCH 16TH. 1918 fats are fuel for fighters bake: boil-and broll more——fry less United States Food Administration "In every clime, under every religion, he is the same. He kneels before the universal throne of God in gratitude for his blessings he has received, and in humble solicitation for his future protection. He venerates the good, men of all religions. He disturbs not the religion of others. He restrains his passions, because they cannot be indulged without injuring his neighbor or himself. He gives no offense, because he does not choose to be offended. He contracts no debts which he is not certain that he can discharge, because eh is onest upon principle. He never utters a falschood, because it is cowardly and infinitely beneath the dignity of a Free and Accepted Mason." Conservation by Means of Canning Conservation is the watch-word of today, and canning is one of the important ways that bushels and bushels of fruits and vegetables can be saved. Let us raise enough for our own table use during the summer, enough to can and dry for the winter's use. Even if you have no surplus to sell don't be found buying from the world's scanty store. The Canning Club members throughout Chatham county are now making preparations for the greatest canning season in the history of saving fruits and vegetables. Not only should the canning club members be alert in saving their fruits and vegetables, but every house wife throughout these entire United States, for we are facing a great problem in the food shortage. A dozen jars of tomatoes or any other of the vegetables canned during the summer for winter use means money saved, and more than that more food-stuffs to feed the soldiers who are fighting to save the country for democracy. The Farmers Institute of Chatham County was organized three years ago by Prof. E. A. Williams district agent of Georgia. On the second Monday of each month the regular meeting of the Institute is held at the Georgia State College. The farmers meet to discuss different problems of interest along agricultural lines, and how to better their communities at large. It is very interesting to note that these men although busy on the farm lay aside their work to attend the meetings, and there are always from fifteen to twenty-five present at each meeting. The farmers that have been members of the institute since its organization are now working in the interest of getting new members each month to join the institute. At the meeting held Monday March 11, there were four farmers that became new members of the institute, making a total of ten that joined within the past two months. Mr. Amos George, one of the Chatham county farmers, is the president and is always present to conduct the meetings. A regular program committee has been appointed to render topics of interest each month for the farm ers, these being M. S. Wilson and Mr. Williams. There are now twenty canning clubs in the county some of which have been organized by Miss Juanita Conyers, home demonstration agent, since her appointment. Chatham county has a number of sources through which the different communities are being helped. The Cuyler Junior High school is sending out students that are going back to their different communities to help make the home life more beautiful. There are a number of Cuyler graduates teaching in the rural schools of Chatham county, and are making excellent records. With the students at the other schools such as Hampton, Tuskegee, Atlanta University, Fisk and other institutions of learning, the Cuyler graduates are keeping up the motto of the school. The students of the high school department began planting their school garden last week and they are now getting ready for the garden day to be held the second week in June. BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER By Allon L. Holsey Every once in a while you can hear someone say "We had a good local league in our town but it went down." Let me tell you what, in my judgment, is the reason why local leagues run down. The direct or minor cause, in many instances, is local petty differences between individuals; the indirect or major cause is the apparent inability of the members of the local league to understand and appreciate their opportunities for service through this organization. In my observation regarding certain cities, we are seeking to deal with the larger aspect of the situation only, and the observations are based upon conditions as they existed in 1916. Let us compare Augusta, Ga., and Shreveport, La., both enterprising Southern cities about the same size and same Negro population. Augusta has a most unique co-operative grocery store, owned and operated by colored people with more than a hundred stock holders. A capable manager is in charge of the store and it is an inspiration to see how the venture has succeeded. In the insurance field, Augusta stands with the leaders. Four or five strong companies with more than a hundred bustling agents take care of the bulk of business among the colored people. The spirit of progress is evident in Augusta, with the successful co-operative effort and the large proportion of insurance business handled by Negro companies, and yet Augusta has no first class Negro drug store. On the other hand, Shreveport has two very striking and successful Negro drug stores but the insurance situation is pathetic. One Negro company with three agents and a Negro population equal to that of Augusta. Clearly here is the work of two enterprising hustling local leagues; one in Augusta to get that drugstore among other things, and one in Shreveport to arouse the people to the necessity of turning all of that insurance money into Negro enterprises where it will help our boys and girls.

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.

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.

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 orphans and widows, and Jaying our sons upon the Altar of Freedom. 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 great world wat [res precipitated because of a great ‘policy which Bismark had enunclatet and outlined for the Germanic peopl years ago. The herofe Itallans anc Frenchmen and Englishmen on thi Western front today, feel the spirit anc sense the nationalism of thelr heroe: gone defore,—and America is fightin; today that a government “of tke peo ‘ple, for the people and by the peopl | shall not perish from the earth.” | Let parents and teachers take warn |ing that they are direlect of thelr dut; when they fall to implant in the mind: of their children, while they are f {their formative and Impressionabl Jages, the great principles for whic! this republic stands and those grea lives whose souls -first conceived then and gave them birth. 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. » Whether or not these women were attracted hy the wage or forced by clr- cumstances aind regardless of their ex- ceptional ‘physique; they are women, ‘our women, and belong to that greater class whose children have supplied, for the most part, the Juvenile and crim- Inal courts of this community. Our 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. PLAY AND DANCE AT NEW CATHOLIC HALL On Tuesday night, April 9, 2 com- edy in two acts entitled “An Open Secret” will be given at the New Catholic hall by one of the smaller social clubs of the city.

TUESDAY MEATLESS ONE MEAL WHEATLESS THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE BIG FARMERS' MEETING AT FORT VALLEY, GA. Fine Ham Cured Meats Placed on Exhibition Fort Valley, Ga.-The annual gathering of farmers at the Fort Valley High and Industrial school March 7th and 8th proved to be one of the largest and most enthusiastic gatherings ever held in that section of the state. Representatives from 14 counties attended the meeting and listened to most instructive and inspiring addresses from government representatives and men prominent in business and educational affairs of the state. The principal feature of the meeting this year was an exhibition of home-cured meats by farmers from Houston, Crawford, Monroe and Macon counties. The excellence of the exhibit was attested by the commendation of Dr. G. A. Anthony, U. S. Meat Inspector who came from Washington, D. C. for the purpose of judging the quality of the meat as a basis for awarding over $200.00 worth of prizes. 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 inspecting carefully every piece of meat and at the end pronounced it the finest collection of home-cured meats he had ever seen. Prof. Jas. E. Downing, plg club agent for Georgia, who was chiefly instrumental in having Dr. Anthony and Dr. Hirleman attend the meeting, stated that in view of the possibility of being compelled to take over the packing plants in order to supply the army, the U. S. Government is deeply interested in the question of home-cured meats and is anxious not only to encourage the raising of a larger number of hogs but in giving farmers information as to the very best method of curing 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 winning hams and bacon. Mr. W. T. Anderson, editor of the Macon Daily Telegram and Mr. A. J. Evan, president of the Citizens Bank of Fort Valley, made excellent addresses in which they laid stress on the need for every one to be patriotic and do his best and commend the farmers for the splendid showing made by the display of home-cured meats. Many were disappointed that Principal M. W. Reddick of Americus Institute could not make the address for which he was scheduled. Mr. Reddick 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. O. S. Oneal, U. S. Farm Demonstration 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 success 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. Bessle Stanley Wood, emergency agent for South Georgia, assisted by Miss Georgia Crews, district agent, and Mrs. O. S. Oneal, local agent and Mrs. O. 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 explanation of how to use to best advantage products grown on the farm. A notable feature of the gathering was the large number of farmers driving automobiles, there being between 40 and 50 machines parked on the school grounds during the exercises. Everyone went away loud in their praise of a most excellent meeting with firm determination to prove their loyalty by producing larger quantities and better qualities of food stuffs than ever before. Just beneath the stars and stripes and flanked on either side by great rows of ham and bacon was the inscription "Over the Top Boys. We're Behind You." Principal H. A. Hunt presided and in a brief address near the close urged all present to do their best now as the basis for asking a share in the larger liberties to come out of the great conflict. 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 adequate and economical nourishment offered 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 to see that its children have milk of good quality and in sufficient amount to assure their normal development. To do this the price of milk must be controlled or fixed, and the SATURDAY MARCH 16TH 1918 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 gardener and help harvest crops. CARD OF THANKS Mrs. Kate Brown and Mr. and Mrs. J. H.

The Americanism of the Negro means doing intelligently, cheerfully and patriotically the essential work of the world in war times—growing bumper crops of food-stuffs, and some crops for ready cash; canning, preserving, and drying fruits and vegetables in home and school kitchens; earning, saving, and converting money in U. S. Government bonds and war saving stamps; building better schools; and making clean, comfortable homes for the training of useful, happycitizens. Virginia Negro Farmers At Hampton Institute several hundred Negro farmers of Virginia recently met in conference to discuss what they could do to meet more effectively the demands which are made by the great World War. The Negro farmers of Virginia, who have been ably led by John B. Pierce, a Tuskegee-Hampton graduate, now serving as the state colored agent in charge of farm-demonstration work in seventeen counties, showed clearly that they had made exceptional progress in handling soils, crops, and livestock. The Negro and Americanism They showed, too, that they had learned how to use wisely the extra money that they had received during the past season from their abundant crops. The great mass of Negroes throughout the Nation, have recently been paying off many of their old debts. They have also had enough ready cash with wich to improve their homes, schools, and churches. They have been learning to pay as they go, and have been freeing themselves of the burden of time prices—the penalty of unsatisfactory and dearly-bought credit. Meeting Nation's Crisis From all quarters there comes a common report that the colored people have demonstrated that in the Nation's hour of crisis they have been ready and glad to give of their best in order that the war for democracy may be carried to a successful conclusion. Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute recently said: "I know that all the colored people in the United States will rally to the defense of their country in this war crisis. "Whether in producing food-stuffs on the farm, in conserving food in the home, or in fighting for democracy in the trenches of Europe, the colored people—twelve million strong—will do their full share, loyally and cheerfully, in helping to win this war. The Americanism of the Negro is a rare gift to a world at war and to a world which needs the continued and loyal support of twelve million citizens. In this Americanism there is being fulfilled the vision of the late Dr. Hollis B. Fissell, principal of Hampton from 1893 to 1917, who worked unceasingly for nearly forty years to give country people a chance to develop and make good. BOSTON BARS THE "BIRTH OF A NATION" Boston, Mass. March 4.—Last week was a great week for the race in Boston. The disgrace of permitting the nefarious "Birth of a Nation" in 1915 was wiped out by the newly-elected mayor. Andrew J. Peters. Through the sole activity of the Boston Branch of the National Equal Rights League, the Dixon play was barred by the Mayor. It was being advertised at the movie house to be given today at the Globe theatre. Secretary Trotter of the National Equal Rights League was informed of this on Wednesday and that afternoon sent a protest to Mayor Peters. On Thursday at the close of the court session where U. S. Commissioner W. A. Hayes rendered John Johnson of West Virginia a free man, a case started and promoted by the league, a delegation waited on the Mayor. Those present were Pres. E. T. Morris, Mrs. Jrue Posey, William D. Bingham, our white friend, Dr. A. B. Lattimore, Prof. Allen W. Whaley, Dr. J. Silas Taylor and William Monroe Trotter, secretary. Mayor Peters said he had, on receiving the league's protest sent for the manager of the Globe Theatre and having the law examined and would do his utmost to prevent the play which he characterized as most objectionable. Friday morning's daily paper announced that the manager of the theatre had been to see Mayor Peters and had acceded to his request not to produce the play. Now Boston, instead of being used as our indorser of this "Birth of a Nation" can be used against, it Never before in the history of civilization has it been so urgent a matter that every child should have breast The Y. M. C. A. was very fortunate in that it had as speaker at its "First Sunday" meeting the Dr. Phillip Waters of Gammon Theological Seminary, who spoke beautifully and effectively on "Strength". Selection by Miss Stevenson, the quartet and Prof. Kemper Harreld on the violin added much to the effectiveness of such an exercise. We were happy to see on the campus the week of March 3 to 8, Mr. E. J. Birkstiner of Barniesville, Ga., Mr. J. B.

This game was in the city auditorium and was witnessed by a large number of spectators. At all stages of the game Morehouse supremacy was evident, both in offensive and defensive work. Tuskegee seemed to be the least bit off on throwing baskets. To name the star would be to name the whole Morehouse quintet in addition to two Tuskegee players. The score was: Morehouse 26; Tuskegee 10. JESUP, GA, NEWS . Last Sunday was regular meeting at Mt. Maria A. M. E. Church. The pastor, Rev. J. E.

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- "BLUE BONNETS" The Aristocrat of New Fabrics.

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. ST. AUGUSTINE EPIS.

For instance" said he; "I traveled in a Jim Crow car a few nights ago under very unfavorable conditions with a loyal fellow American on his way to sell thrift stamps for the government the next day." The speaker spoke at length on things that it will take to make a soldier fight to win, and that the thoughts drawn out, by him had its effect on the audience was proven at the conclusion when he was given the greatest applause ever given a speaker in the history of the Y.

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.

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. L. G. JORDAN.

(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.
