The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Ask Lynching Be Made Federal Crime Ask Lynching Be Made Federal Crime PRESIDENT WILSON RECEIVES A. M. E. REPRESENTATIVES Strong Protest Against Lynching and Jim Crowism is Presented. Washington, D. C., March 14. Words urging patriotic duties upon the Negroes while they are lynched and Jim crowed has the appearance of insincerity" was a sentiment expressed t. President Woodrow Wilson by a commission appointed by the Bishops' Council of the African Methodist Episcopal Church to make representation against discrimination against the Negroes of this country. The appointment with the President was arranged by Prof. John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the A. M. E. church. The Commission was headed by Bishop W. D. Chapelle of South Carolina. The other members of the committee were Prof. John R. Hawkins of Washington; Dr. W. T. Vernon of Tennessee; Dr. W. H. H. Butler of Pennsylvania; Dr. J. G. Robinson of Tennessee; Dr. A. H. Hill of Arkansas and Dr. A. L. Gaines of Baltimore. Bishop Chappelle made the representations to the President and left with him a written document setting forth the views of the commission. The response of the President, though guarded, was very gratifying. The sentiment of the commission follows: Washington, D. C., March 14, 1918 Hon Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, Mr. President, Sir: We, the undersigned citizens of the United States, and representatives of the African Methodist Episcopal church appointed by the Bishops' Council of said church, which met at Louisville, Ky., Feb. 14, 1918, beg to submit to you the following memorial or prayer. With a due sense of appreciation of the great struggle in which we are now engaged, and the arduous task laid upon you as Chief Magistrate of our country we pledge to you our fidelity as loyal citizens of our Republic. These are trying times, and we are passing through ordeals that try men's souls, and now more than ever before, our people need hope and encouragement. We believe you have read with deep regret of the inhuman and unlawful treatment of our people in many sections of the country; and we come praying you for relief from mob-violence and other discriminations which are so prevalent We do not condone crime committed by our people; nor are we asking that you wink at crime committed by any people; we ask that each and every individual be given a fair and impartial trial by a jury of twelve men of their fellow citizens. Since Congress has given you, as President, power to conscript citizens from and within all the states of the Union, to fight for the common cause of human liberty, and for protection of this country; we believe that it is equally within the power of Congress to authorize you to enter any state in this union with said power, to protect the life and liberty of the citizens therein. Believing this as we do, we ask: First, that lynching be made a federal offense. Second, we ask that in all cases of lynching and mob-violence where citizens are guilty of participation in the same, they shall be punished by law and declared ineligible to hold office in our government either federal or state. Third: We ask that any sheriff allowing his prisoner to be lynched or maimed while in his custody, be declared unfit for that high office and at once removed by the governor. Mr. President, we make this appeal to you because our people have always been loyal to this government and are still loyal and faithful in this the most trying time of its history. We are in the midst of a great world-wide war which will take as we see it, the united efforts of all the people to gain victory, and to secure this. we must find a way to suppress violence and lynching. To tell us that we are fighting for world democracy and that this is a form of that democracy for which we are to fight and for which many of our boys are already on the field of battle, is not to say the least very en- CONGREGATIONAL SOCIAL SERVICE MEETING The annex of the First Congregational church was comfortably filled last Monday by the members of the Congregational Social Service Workers, and few friends. This was the regular meeting and was presided over by Miss Clifford Allen, the president. Miss Hortense M. Orcutt, who has charge of the kindergarten schools of the whites, was present and gave a very helpful talk on the work of the kindergarten and the treatment of children of kindergarten age. She approved and commended the establishment of kindergarten schools among us and made a plea for the securing of trained teachers. It is the purpose of this institution to have special talks on social service work. Arrangements are now being made to conduct a special program the third Sunday in next month. Miss Florence Callen is chairman of this committee. Mrs. Willie Blair is chairman for the children's afternoon entertainment at Masonic Temple, April 26. A committee will be appointed to assist Miss Maggie Robertson, in the opening of the social service centre in the southeast section. STANDARD LIFE TO HAVE AGENCY HERE Mr. L. E. Lowe, representative of the Standard Life Insurance Co., spent a few days in the city, prospecting before leaving for Jacksonville from where he will return with his family next week. Mr. Lowe intend making a vigorous campaign for the Standard Life. WEDDING INVITATIONS OUT Wedding invitations are out for the marriage of Miss Almay V. Flemming, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Fleming and Mr. Willie Heyward. The wedding will take place on Wednesday night March 27th, at the home of her parents, 1126 Bolton street, east. Mr. W. H. Harvey superintendent of the Beaufort, S. C., district of the North Carolina Insurance company, was in the city this week circulating among his many friends. The manner in which the business of the Beaufort district has increased since Mr. Harvey took charge of the work there a few years ago has been very gratifying to him and also to the home office of the company. are doing their bit according to their ability from every view point. No people have followed so uncomplainingly as have our people, and we are beginning to realize now that we are a part of this government which we have served so faithfully both in war and in peace. Thus we come asking our government through its executive to protect us in the pursuits of life, liberty and happiness. Mr. President, our treatment upon the railroads of this country is unfair, unjust, degrading and unchristian and we ask that something be done to change such conditions and make them such as will guarantee to us peace and comfort while traveling in the discharge of our several duties. In the face of such treatment we are being told now that we are fighting for a common cause—freedom. We compare what is told us with what is being done to us, it must of necessity create a suspicion as to the sincerity of some of those who speak to us. If these difficulties are removed, then you make it easier for the leaders of our people to control them as patriots; and too, to advise and direct their activities in such movements as the purchase of Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps and the cheerful enlistment in, the United States Army and Navy. Mr. President, we can ask no less and be men. So in the interest of all that is righteous, of all that is just and of all that is in keeping with true democracy of which you are the exponent, we beg you to act. John R. Hawkins, Financial Secretary, A. M. E. Church, Washington, D. C. J. G. Robinson, Sec., P. E. Knoxville Dist. Knoxville, Teen. Allege Discrimination Negro Shoots Foreman WHITE MECHANICS WOULD NOT WORK IN ROOM WITH HIM Had Lost Several Good Jobs Because He was a Negro Springfield, Mass.—Ralph E. Powell 21, colored, of 367 High street, Holyoke, and a product of Tuskegee Institute, walked into the lathe room of the Van Norman machine tool company on Wilbraham avenue shortly after noon today, aimed a 32-calliber six-shot revolver at Floyd H. Polhill, 23, of 12 Hancock street and fired twice. One of the shots entered Polhill's right arm just below the shoulder and, following a downward course, lodged in his back. City Physician William J. Leonard was unable to locate the buttel when examining Polhill at police headquarters, and sent him to Mercy hospital for an X-ray examination. Powell gave himself up to Patrolman John A. Hamberg and later in police headquarters admitted to Detective Capt. Frank W. Quilt that he intended to kill Polhill because he and other white men at the Van Norman plant had discriminated against him on account of his color. He was booked on a charge of assault with a intent to kill. The examination of Powell by Capt. Quilt at police headquarters revealed some pronouncedly socialistic ideas to which Powell did not seem reluctant to give expression. He admitted at the outset that he went to the Van Norman factory to-day with the express purpose of shooting Polhill, and when Capt. Quilt asked him if he wanted to kill the man, he said: "No one shoots with the intent alone of wounding a man." The trouble, Powell said, was brought about because he has repeatedly lost good positions on account of being colored and had reached a point where he was about desperate. "I only ask a chance to make a living. I seek no favors, but I do insist that I be allowed to work the same as other people and not be discriminated against because I am a Negro," he said. Powell told Capt. Quilt that he secured a position as lathe hand at the Van Norman factory last Friday morning, and at noon Polhill, acting as spokesman for the other employers of the room, went to Factory Manager Adolph Carlson, and demanded that he be discharged, saying that the men would not work in the same room with a Negro. Carlson, after hearing the case of the men, told Powell that it would be impossible for him to remain there, but allowed him to continue in his position until Saturday noon. This poisoned his mind "against the United States." Powell said, and he decided to take the matter of revenge into his own hands. He went to a second-hand store, and bought a 32-calliber revolver and a box of cartridges, giving a micrometer and other fine tools in part payment. He came to Springfield determined to "get" Polhill. He went to the Van Norman factory shortly after noon, when he knew Polhill would be eating his lunch, walked into the lathroom, sighted his man and immediately opened fire on him. When the other employers in the room showed a desire to grab him after Polhill had been shot, he held them at bay with the revolver, but as soon as Patrolman Hamberg appeared, he laid down his gun and gave himself up. The principles of the United States are missapplied, Powell insisted, when questioned by Capt. Quilty. "The United States is sending men 3,000 or 4,000 miles away to fight the cause of democracy and liberate Belgium and Servia and other such countries," he said, "while at home there is the worse autocracy in the world—an autocracy which means that a man cannot hold his position or secure work just because he is colored. It is nothing worse than autocracy when a Negro can get nothing else to do but clean windows and sweep floors." When Capt. Quilty asked him if he didn't know that he would have been given the electroc chair if he had killed Polhill. Powell said he was prepared for the electric chair when he came to Springfield this morning armed to kill. When asked what object he could have in killing Polhill, he quickly replied: "No man has a right to live who refuses to let live." Powell said he was not 21 years of Daytona School Dedicates Building VICE-PRESIDENT MARSHALL DELIVERS PRINCIPAL ADDRESS Ten Thousand Dollars Raised in Connection with Exercises Daytona, Fla., March 20. An important meeting was held at the Daytona Educational and Industrial School for Negro Girls located here, of which Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune is founder and principal, last week. The exercises were held in connection with the dedication of the new central building, which is to house the executive department of the school and which has connected with it a large and beautiful auditorium building. The exercises were held at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon and at 8:30 o'clock in the evening. The principal addresses were delivered by Hon. Thom as R. Marshall, vice president of the United States, who spoke upon the subject "The Education of the Colored Race"; Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War; Hon. Sidney J. Catts, governor of the State of Florida; Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, vice president of Gammon Theological Seminary, Atlanta, Ga.; The Right Reverend John Hurst, Bishop of Florida, African Methodist Episcopal church; as well as a number of other important local officials and friends of the school. It is stated that there were at least sixteen millionsires and a host of other very wealthy people in attendance at these dedication exercises. This is a famous winter resort and many of these tourists take very great pride in helping to support the Daytona School for Colored Girls. Mrs. Bethume has been very heartily congratulated upon her success. All of the trustees of the school are important business and professional men. The president of the board being Mr. James J. Gamble, of Proctor-Gamle Company, Cincinnati, O. The other trustees being Messrs. Harrison Rhodes, vice president, New York; Laurence, Thompson, secretary and treasurer, Daytona, Fla.; C. M. Wilder, Cincinnati, O.; Geo. S. Doane, Pasadena, Cal.; Smith G. Young, Lansing, Mich.; Emmett J. Scott, Tuskegee, Ala. Rev. Robert McKay, D. D., Daytona, Fla., and Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, Daytona, Fla. Ten thousand dollars was raised at the financial "drive" held in connection with the dedication exercises. MISS MABEL DURDEN ACCEPTS CLERKSHIP Miss Mabel Durden left the city on Wednesday afternoon for Washington, D. C., where she will fill a position in the Internal Revenue Department. Miss Durden recently took the Civil Service examination and has just been appointed. Miss Durden is a graduate of Atlanta University and was for several years a teacher at Cuthbert, Ga. Mr. A. Reason of Millhaven, Ga. was in the city this week. age last June and was not forced to register for military service, but has since reached that age and would come under the law which include the drafting of those who have reached the age since June 5. He made it plain to Capt. Quilty that, although he was anxious for the country to give him his "keep" and treat him right, he refused to take up arms in the cause of democracy. Factory Manager Carlson at the Van Norman plant admitted that he had to let Powell go because the other men in the room all refused to work with him on account of his being a Negro. Powell came to this city from the Deane steam pump company in Holyoke, where he was last employed and was a good lathe hand, it is said. When he came to the factory this noon, Polhill was sitting on a bench eating his lunch with some other man. According to men in the room at the time, Powell came within a short distance of Polhill, ducked behind a lathe and fired his revolver twice at Polhill, who had started to run. The shot entered the back of the arm. Powell then held the other men at bay until Patrolman Hamberg arrived when he gave himself up. When talking with Capt. Quilty at police headquarters Powell spoke in a cool, reserved manner and in language which showed he had been educated. He showed no attitude of regret for his act. THE NEW YORK TIMES . Musician, Paul J. Steele, of this city, who is a member of the band at Camp Jackson, Columbia, S. C, MANNER OF FUN WHICH CAUSES UNREST AMONG NEGROES Frank Callen, Worker with Colored Children A little fellow of ten years, a bright minded boy with sparkling eyes, is being held in the detention rooms awaiting trial; which in turn is awaiting an answer from an inquiry I have made. The charge against the boy is, juvenile vagrancy, or loitering. The boy's story runs, that he lives in Jacksonville, Fla. He was on an errand when a party of white automobilists came along, snatched him up and brought him to Savannah. Arriving here they deserted him on the streets and for about a month he has been here sleeping under stoops and in empty houses at night; obtaining food during the day through fair means and foul. A few months ago a boy of eleven from Rockyford, Ga., found his way to Savannah in almost identically the same wry. After much inquiry I located his father. He came to Savannah and verified the boy's statement, then added a more vivid happening. We talked at length. At present the man is located permanently in Chatham county and paid cash for his farm just west of the city limits, proving him self to be an exceptionally desirable citizen. FOUNDERS DIV TO BE HELD AT TUSKEGEE Tuskegee, Ala., March 16.—The second Annual Founder's Day Exercise will be held at Tuskegee Institute on April 5th.

BELL TAILORING COMPANY The Bell Tailoring Company, one of the largest concerns of its kind, having branch stores throughout the South, has opened one of the most attractive tailor shops in Savannah, at 459 1-2 West. Broad street. The new store has an unusually extraordinary offer, in these days of high cost of woolens, and offers to make free, with each suit ordered, a pair of extra trousers, as a means of introducing the Bell Tailoring Company in Savannah. The store is having a grand opening today, and Mr. Will C. Sweeney will be pleased to see any of his friends and will give souvenirs to all men that call. The Parent-Teachers' Association of Cuyler Street School held its regular meeting Wednesday afternoon. The committee on entertainment made a very good report from the two lawn parties given at the school. The association is planning a concert for Friday night, April 5th, at the school. The flag for the largest number of mothers present was awarded to the 5th grade, Miss Ellis, teacher. A delicious ice-cream course was served by the domestic science class. PAGE TWO ADVANCE NEWS OF SPRING STYLES Simple Designs for Silks and Satins New York—Perhaps it is the thaw we have been having that has turned our thoughts that way; perhaps it is the numberless hints we see in the shop windows. At any rate, we must do business. Conservation, conservation, conservation! The word is on every one's tongue. We are conserving the necessities for the well-being of our nation, and there is a glow of work well done after we have done something worth © MCCALL Where Border Material Acts as Trimming Suits or Separate Dresses and Coats From Palm Beach comes tidlings of suits for spring. There are so many ways we can save material, even in the more elaborate afternoon costume. Navy braid is being used a great deal to build the edges of the beige serge or gabardine suit, thus saving the material that would otherwise have to be turned under and hemmed. Surprising, isn't it, the little things that count? And yet, when one sees a suit braid bound, all one thinks is, "Oh, how very smart." It is only the very few who realize the hidden motive of this fashion. Deep hems are fast being put into discard. The big pocket has almost vanished from the separate coat. There are two sides to the question of the suit versus the coat and dress. The coat may be worn with many different dresses, silk or cotton * * but the suit does not take as much wool in the first place as the coat and separate dress of wool. Simplicity for Spring There is one absolutely certain thing; styles are very, very simple. And they are practical, too. What could be more fetching than the little dress illustrated here? And it certainly is simple and practical. There are two materials used, plain and bordered, and when one says that, it is the last word in fashions. Of course there is no trimming—where would one put it? The waist has one of those smart holeros with a straight lower edge, making it practical for the bordered goods. The crushed girdle is cut in one with the front panel, and can be tied in a bow in the back, or fastened with buttons. The lower edge of the tunic is also straight, so here again the bordered material may be used very nicely. About Spring Bonnets The latest news from Paris says that he crowns of the spring hats will be much lower, that the poke type is to be much featured, and that flowers and feathers will be a most deceiving thing. At first glance, it appears untrimmed * * * and then you dis- 9. MCCALL Of Figured Foulard, with Panel Vestee cover a tiny bunch of flowers here or a wing there, until you come to the conclusion, that it is a mucli-trimmed affair! The colors, too, will be gay Of Figured Foulard, with Panel Vestee cover a tiny bunch of flowers here or a wing there, until you come to the conclusion, that it is a mucli-trimmed affair! The colors, too, will be gay and springlike. There is not the donning of straw hats this year that there usually is, though of course there are many to be seen. These warm days are bringing them out overnight, like mushrooms. Tunic Skirts There is nothing more important than the tunic on a dress. It may be long and straight or short and full; it may be longer on one side than on the other; or it may be as you please, just so it is there in some form or other. That is unless it be done away with entirely, and the absolutely straight skirt pleated or gathered at the top with just enough fulness to make it comfortable to walk in is preferred. Figured Silks or Satins The vogue for figured materials is very great, and the American materials are very lovely, so this year we may expect to see strange flowers, birds and other unusual designs on the simplest of spring costumes. There is usually a touch of plain material to relieve the monotony of too much design; it often fakes the place of any other trimming, though embroidery may be used very effectively. Braiding, too, is very chic for spring. The little empire dress illustrated here is most attractive. Note the panel—one of the newest features of the mode; also there is no collar to distract one from the absolutely plain lines of the frock! BUSINESS LEAGUE BOOSTER No 5 Albon L. Holsey Some weeks ago, it was announced, that a prize of five dollars would be given for the best and most interesting letter telling of some experiences in dealing with Negro merchants. These letters are beginning to come in in large numbers and many of them are highly instructive and enlightening. I wish to quote from one letter: "On entering a store I called for a quarter's worth of cheese. The colored merchant was very hasty in weighing the cheese, therefore, not giving me chance to read its weight. I asked to see it weighed again. With his distracted attention, he threw it back upon the scales saying: "Do you see it?" With his unpleasant look, I took it notwithstanding his mode of dissatisfaction. I later found another race store where I met with no difficulty whatever. This colored merchant was a real qualified man of high principles. I traded there and received the very best appreciation. I would that all of our race merchants would have pride and respect for people of their own nationality." Contrast that letter with this beautiful tribute from Mr. Daniel Chase of Washington, D. C., which is as follows: "It happened in a small town, not far from this city. The time was the summer of 1815. The store was a general merchandise sales place, and its proprietors were a man just about middle age and his young son. The moment you enter this store you feel at home. A pleasant something seems to prevaile the atmosphere. After a few minutes you find out what that pleasant something is. Mr. Key and his son greet each customer with a pleasant salutation, whether they know the customer or not. "I was a stranger to them, but the very manly bearing, and the unusual politeness in his "Good morning, what will you have, please?" endeared Mr. Key to me from then on. It is useless to say, that I made purchases far exceeding what I had intended, as I had only wanted a handkerchief, but I made a large purchase, and have since then found my way there because courtesy draws customers." The storekeeper referred to in this letter is rightly named for his attitude towards customers is the "key" to success in building business. That is the sort of spirit that the Business League, through the agency of local Business Leagués, seeks to instill into every business enterprise throughout the country. Is there a local league in your city.? (To be continued next week) TO ENCOURAGE EARLY BUYING OF COAL To encourage the early buying and storage of coal for domestic use next winter, the United States Fuel Administration has issued regulations covering retail distribution for the year beginning April 1. The plan has the endorsement of the National Retail Coal Merchants' Association, which organization will co-operate in the enforcement of the regulation. In order to induce the early buying of coal and coke for domestic use, a general reduction in the price of anthracite, 75 per cent of which is used for domestic purposes, has been announced to become effective April 1st and to last until September 1st. The reduction provided for amounts to 30 cents per ton. The regulation provides that every consumer should place with his dealer on or before April 1st, a written state- SATURDAY MARCH 23RD.1918 Save a loaf Help Save a loaf a week - Help win the war ment of his requirements of coal for the year beginning April 1st, which he shall declare to be correct. The statement shall show (1) the amount of coal the consumer has on hand, (2) the amount of coal he has on order and the name of the person from wrom ordered, (3) the amount of coal used by him in the 12 months ending March 31, 1918 and (4) the amount of coal needed to meet his actual and necessary requirements prior to March 31, 1919: Provided, however, that this regulation may be mordified by any State Fuel Administrator within his own state under such circumstances and conditions as he may deem proper. Dealers will not be permitted either directly or indirectly to provide any domestic consumer of coal or coke before March 31st with more coal or coke than necessary with the amount already on hand to meet actual requirements prior to that date. The penalties imposed under the Lever Act, carrying both fines and imprisonment, will be invoked by the Fuel Administration against all violations of the regulation, whether by dealers or consumers. GARDENING BEING DONE IN COLORED SCHOOLS The colored students throughout Chatham county are doing their bit in the planting of school gardens. The Woodville school, one of the new schools of the county of which Mr. R. F. Gibson is principal, with six teachers, planted all the available land around the school, has now a real farm. The boys are eager to do their bit in saving food stuffs. A pig club has been organized at the school by Mr. E. A. Williams, district agent, also a canning club among the girls by Miss Juanita Conyers, home demonstration agent. The girls are to be taught by Miss Conyers how to make sour krout with cabbages now growing at the school. These plants were given by Mr. C. B. Gibson, superintendent of the Board of Education last October. Mr. Edgar F. Jones one of the teachers recently appointed at the Cuyler Junior High school, last week began the garden work with the students of the high school department. The entire garden has been planted with all varieties of seeds. Prof. J. W. Hubert; principal of Cuyler, already has ground prepared to plant corn as the boys of the corn.club did last year. With corn meal made from the corn the girls of the domestic science de Home Card UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP WIN THIS WAR See other side showing why you should do it. Our problem is to feed our Allies food as we can of the most concentrated space. These foods are wheat, beef, potato. Our solution is to eat less of these we have an abundance, and to waste them. Bread and cereals.—Have at least eat, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, not bread certainly for one meal and, if potato pastry. As to the white bread, if you buy vance; then he will not have bread and only as required. Use white bread. Meat.—Use more poultry, rabbits, place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not more than once daily, and then serve meat cold or in made dishes. Use soup nearly the same food value as meat. Milk.—Use all of the milk, waste whole milk; therefore, use less cream, not using all skim and sour milk. Sour make cottage cheese. Use buttermilk. Fats (butter, lard, etc.).—Dairy butter. Therefore, use it on the table as usual as possible in cooking. Reduce the use of lard and other fats. Use vegetables save daily one-third of an ounce of an fat and the glycerine necessary for soap at home, and, in some localities, soap maker, who will thus secure our use. Sugar.—Use less candy and sweet tea. Use honey, maple syrup, and dark without butter or sugar. Do not frost or 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 healthy 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, eat, 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, if you buy from a baker, order it a day in advance; then he will not be able beyond its needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as required. Use white bread for boast and cooking. Meat—Use more poultry, rabbits, and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton, and pork. Do not use either 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 freely. 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 fried 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 sirups for hot cakes and waffles without butter or sugar. Do not frost or ice cakes. Do not stink 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 fewer fires. If you can get wood, use it. GENERAL SUGGESTION.

ENLING Among The-Masons Among The-Masons A Mason is bound to consult the happiness and promote the interest of his brother; to avoid everything offensive to his feelings; to abstain from reproach, censure and unjust suspicions; to warn him of the machinations of his enemies; to advise the welfare and reputation of his family; to protect the chastity of his house; to defend his life, property, and what is dear to a man of honor, his character, against unjust attacks, to instill in his mind proper ideals of conduct in the department of life which he is called to fill; and it may be added, to further his schemes of interest and promotion, if compatible with the paramount duties a man owes to the community. If such are the obligations a man owes to his brother they are especially the duties that one Freemason ought to perform to another. Our order enjoins them as rules from which nothing can justify a deviation and considers their infraction a violation of honor, conscience and religion, a prostitution of all that is deemed sacred and venerable among men. But Masonry does not confine the benignity of her precepts to her followers; it rises higher in the scale of honor, honesty and good faith to all men; it espouses the cause of universal benevolence and virtue; it declares as unworthy of its patronage and violator of the laws of rectitude, and its votaries exemplify in their lives the truth of the remark that, although there be vicious men in the fraternity they are better than if they were not Masons.—Orphan Friend and Masonic Journal. 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 which are written in the heart by the finger of his Creator. "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 for solicitation for his future protection. He venerates the good men of religions. He disturbs not the relation of others. He restrains his missions, because they cannot be included 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 he is honest upon principle. We never utter a falsehood, because it is cowardly and infinitely beneath the dignity of a Free and Accepted Mason."

The frightful picture of tuberculosis sufferers and victims in this city, neglected, scorned and avoided of others because they are a menace, and yet with no place of refuge or help or succor! This must have impressed Council, and aroused them to a sense of responsibility and duty. Whether there be surplus funds or not—this is a crying and pressing emergency, and Council should "make a way" to provide the two nurses, at once, and should at once commence to look forward to doing a great deal more by next year. Two competent and conscientious nurses, amenable to regular supervision and faithful to duty will do a great deal toward relieving the sorrow and embarrassment occasioned by this loathsome disease. They can save a good many of the sufferers, and can protect those to whom these are now a menace. Yamacraw and Frogtown are a blot and disgrace upon the fair name of our city. The disease and death that lurk and lie in these squalid fastnesses is staggering. Filth and over-crowded living are absolutely unavoidable undersuch wretched housing and unsani tary conditions. Men, women and children, there, get slick and die in great numbers, but they are little or none to blame. America has heard Woodrow Wilson say: We shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts—for democracy, for the rights of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own government, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety to all nations, and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those who know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured, God helping her, she can do no other. But read the real currat history of the present in America: "Negro refused employment when whites object." "Another Negro lynched." Negroes Jim Crowed on railroads, in theatres, in business places, in parks maintained at public expense—in the army itself—every where. Negro laborers victims of wage discrimination. Negroes paid less in same occupations. Negroes cannot rent decent homes in respectable neighborhoods. Restricted to congested and unsanitary localities. Negro schools poorly equipped, overcrowded, dilapidated and poorly manned. Negroes have no voice in the government. Above: " * * * for the right of those who submit to authority to have voice in their own government." Are these conditions in America consistent with the President's proclamation of Democracy? American Negro—the Ne- THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE gro of the South, now going forward to the colors in such large numbers shall have aided the triumph of a war for democracy, will he be accorded the rights of a free citizen? If America is acting in good faith, the time to commence to accord Negro people their just and common rights is now. Open up full opportunities to every man! Give competent Negroes the suffrage every where! LABOR SITUATION TENSE The labor situation becomes more and more acute each passing day, and the point of demoralization is not far dist, unless some positive and systematic effort is put forth to preserve the industrial poise. The increasing demand for laborers of all classes in new occupations, the migratory movements of labor due to lack of uniform wages, and the growing scarcity of labor due to the-increasing demands of the draft-all these have brought about conditions as they are. A great deal of time and labor is lost in the migration of labor from one center to another and from one job to another. A great deal is lost in efficiency from frequent change of occupation. A great deal of wealth is lost by both parties, the employer and employee, in meeting the expenses incident to the changes. All this would not be if there were some satisfactory basis of determining uniform wages and satisfactory working conditions for all classes and grades of labor, backed up by a plan of having these wages and working conditions to apply equitably and uniformly to all cities and at all plants in the same place. In Savannah, for instance, the scale of wages for common unskilled labor varies from $1.90 to $3.50 per day, a too great variation for unskilled labor. Among the women in Savannah, in unskilled occupations, including domestic and laundry service, workers in factories, etc, the wages vary from $2 to $9 per week. Here again is too great a variation for stable conditions. A clearing house for labor, participated in by all the big employers of labor, could determine a just wage for every class of labor, settle all working conditions and effect an equitable distribution of the available supply of labor. This would do away, in large measure, with proselyting, would stabilize labor to a great extent, and hence would insure greater efficiency and production, under any given condition of supply and demand of labor. Some principles, however, are settled and unalterable, viz: Wages, in alloccupations, must increase to a point consistent with changed conditions. Working conditions, hours and the physical conditions surrounding employment, must be taken seriously into consideration, looking toward improvement. There must be no element of discrimination either in work or wages. on the ground of color. "Open shop" conditions must prevail. Wages have advanced, but not consistently and uniformly. Little thought has been given to working conditions, save in the matter of hours. Discrimination against Negro laborers, is being practiced every where, both in the assignment of work and the opportionment of wages. If the great industries can overcome their narrowness as regard Negro labor; begin to reward industry and reliability; curb the baneful influence of unionism as it opposes Negro labor; and provide satisfactory working conditions—strike and proselyting will be over. A PECULIARITY REGARDING OUR CHILDREN AND SUGGESTION Frank Callen, Worker with Colored Children Until a few years ago the one standpat, rockridden, one rut and absolute thing in Chatham county, was its free school system. So far as getting into the system to teach was concerned, the surest friend of the prospective teacher was death and that friendship was none too strong. The system seemed complete; no additions, simply substitutions; no extensive or intensive development of methods; no new ideas gained through the ever advancing summer schools for teachers. In hand with this old school system, Negro business of a few years ago was an infant. Indeed, one afflicted with infantile paralysis. To think of ten children securing employment, even for the summer months, was only food for a future hope. Such a thing at the time being impossible. Yet, with those two gigantic factors against us, figuratively, a closed shop school system and an invalid Negro business, we set our teeth with a positive determination and dreamed and planned for the future of our children and, of course, our race. We were filled with an ambition - Stop lynching! - Blot out discrimination! --- which only an indormitable will can sustain against immeasurable odds. We were filled with a spirit of self-sacrifice, which only patriots and martyrs to a cause can possess and a race pride which made us dreamers. We bundled up our children, after elementary training here, and sent them off to school. In fact, the annual departure and home coming of these children was an event of interest to a large part of our progressive citizenry. In those old days we sent a special car to Atlanta University alone and about a full car to other scattered schools and colleges. We knew not what our children would get to do after this preparation. Yet, somehow, we realized that the debt we owed our children coul be paid in no other way. The abundant supply of trained young men and women, beyond the demand, had no retarding effect upon us. But now. Today we have at our service a regenerated school system, filled with new ideas, imperfect plans and a general stirring up of the teachers. The only logical and true signs of progress. Our school system is, without exception, the finest in the South Atlantic states, it has been so extended that the demand for competent teachers has absorbed our great supply and keeps us at our wits end to meet it. Inconsistently, we have almost discontinued sending our children away to be properly trained. Only last week our schools had an emergency which is bound to recur. There was a hurried raking of the entire city to get somebody, anybody, who knew anything at all about a school, room, to substitute. We cannot maintain a high standard for our school system at that rate. This situation is going to get worse, citizens, taxpayers, sponsors for the new freedom, our money is pretty soon going to be paid to competent outsiders to come here and teach our children in our free schools, while our young men and women, who should fill these places, walk the streets of our city advanced in everything, but a cultured brain. It is the duty of parents to vision the future for their children and sacrifice toward that end. The parents of the present teachers did it. Is the new generation of parents shorter of vision and wilfully neglectful of child welfare, when so much is at stake? For the protection of our little children and those to come we must demand of their teachers, competence and culture. To make assurance doubly sure that we will get this, let us begin now to plan for next year. From Beach Institute and the Haven Home and the State Industrial College, let us send two special cars of children to Atlanta University, Fisk University, Morehouse College, Talladega. Clark University, Morris Brown and add a few for Gammon Theological Seminary. Even after the best of our local schools can do, is done, it adds dignity and prestige to send our children away to some school of reputable standing in the eyes of educators. We can do this now without fear of creating a too great supply of intelligence with better reason than heretofore. Negro business in Savannah is a fast growing grant. It needs at this moment more educated young men and women than it is able to get. It is offering first class, clean, respectable and substantial inducements, such as we have never before had. The opportunity is here, the time is now at hand and we must do something. The question then is, what remedy shall we apply to temporarily relieve this condition, which is upon us, giving the young men and the young women of our own citizenry a chance to fit themselves and keep outsiders away as long as possible, without lowering the present standard? I make bold this suggestion. That the parent-teacher organization of each TheChatham Mutual Life andHealth Insurance Company Issues a three in one policy, sickness accident and death.

That done, the parent teacher organizations might hold a mammoth union meeting and there draw up resolutions to be presented to the Board of Education, requesting that the submitted names be given first consideration whenever the regular substitute list is exhausted. This is a question for women to settle as watchful, sympathetic, careful mothers only can do. Protect the little ones coming along and guide safely the larger ones into a useful manhood and womanhood. We must have an educational awakening in this city and it takes the far-seeling, determined and persistent women to give it to us. TEACHERS' TRYING TO From time to time articles have appeared in the daily press which, to say the least, are discouraging to many of the colored teachers who have spent money to improve their efficiency as teachers, and who are now spending money that they do not need to spend in order to make their pupils interested in their school, and to facilitate the learning process. In one school which I visited, I found three primary teachers doing their work with an enthusiasm, and at an expense of time and money perfectly remarkable. They sand fables, practically made them, in a manner which does credit to experienced teachers. Children cannot fail to profit by the energy and intelligence of these teachers. Their work, I am sorry to say, is not seen, because the building in which they work is not new and modern. Tourists never see this school. There are fifteen teachers in this school, thirteen of whom are graduates from some high school or college Pre are graduates from the Atlanta University, one from Talledega, one from Spellman Seminary, two from Ga. State Industrial College, two from Beach Institute and one from Boston High School. Of the twenty teachers attending summer school last summer, nine are members of the teaching force of East Broad street school, six are in the West Broad, two in the Maple and three in the Cuyler. Of the nine teachers in the East Broad who attended summer school, three attended N. Y. University, one Columbia University, one Greensboro, N. C. and four Tuskegee. Two of these are in the first grade, two in the second grade, three in the third grade, one in fourth grade and one in the fifth grade. Now, if training counts, where ought the best work be done? This statement is made because assertions and advertising, which are made either from lack of information, or otherwise deliberately do not help the morale of the teachers generally. Of course it is all one common work and nothing misleading and not in accord with fact ought, to go into print which painstaking investigation will not reveal. As one interested in the teachers, all the teachers, may I not ask them to be encouraged for events will not long be forthcoming which will make merit and efficiency the standard instead of horn-blowing. Those who are interested will find a welcome, I believe, by the principal and teachers of this school. Yours respectfully, PARENT The Old Maid's Club of the Beach Institute will repeat their play April 10, at New Catholic hall, East Broad and Gordon streets. Come one come all, and enjoy yourselves. Dancing after the play. Admission 15 cents. (Adv.) MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Miss M. A. Cole wishes to announce the marriage of her niece, Miss Ethel Lucile Cole, of this city to Mr. John H.

"FLIRTATION SOIREE" What is promised to be an enjoyable affair during the Easter season is the "Flirtation Soiree" at the Savannah Home Association on Easter Monday night.

Many warm speeches were made by the members present and a wave of enthusiasm swept the house. Symposium speeches were made by Messrs. M. G. Robertson, Jr, W. W. Hill G. H. Bowen., Henry Mears, W. J. Kennedy, Jr., E. C. Blackshear, Nathan Roberts, F. C. Jones and others. A wonderful spirit of co-operation was demonstrated and the president expressed himself as being highly clated over the enthusiasm spirit which characterized the meeting. The president gave praise to the various businesses which are now being conducted by the women of the race and urge a more liberal support for them from the public. We boast of all the businesses conducted by the race of this city and hope to give some tangible references as soon as same can be accurately gathered of every line of business and its locality, from a peanut stand to a bank. In the recent meeting of the Negro Business League a number of the papers were read at the request of the president which were prepared by the teachers of Waycross, Ga., which brought forth applause and were highly commended by the members present. It is our purpose to give these series of papers in the weekly letter under the name of the writer of each paper, that they may share the honor and credit for the great work done in the composition of those papers. The following paper was prepared by Miss Rosetta Patrick, teacher of Reidsville school, Waycross, Ga. "During the year 1900 the late Booker T. Washington of Tuskegee, Ala., after consulting with a few of the business and professional men of our race decided that the time was ripe when the successful men and women engaged in business could be profitably brought together. "A meeting was then planned and held in the city of Boston, Mass., on August 23, with Mr. Lewis F. Baldwin of Cambridge as temporary chairman, and Mr. E' E. Cooper as temporary secretary. These temporaries were made permanent. "The Negro Business League was organized with two objects in view: First, to bring together the men and women of the race engaged in business, in order that they may get acquainted and get information as well as inspiration from each other, and secondly, to form plans for a permanent organization which should hold annual meetings in different parts of this great country and encourage the formation of local leagues in various parts of the United States, which should co-operate with the National organization. Both of these objects have been admirably accomplished, and that in a large measure will be the determining factor in the rice's efforts to obtain a sure footing in the business world. "The fundamental object of the league as laid down by its great founder was to foster Negro enterprises, not by support alone but by pointing out the object that exists in them so that the owner might remedy the defects and therefore put his enterprise upon a better foundation. No one believes more firmly than I do that by the combination of trained intelligent and industry of enterprise that the Negro's standing in the business world will be made secure. "One more farm bought, one more house built, one more patient cured by a Negro physician, one more Negro lawyer pleading at the bar for the untrammeled right of suffrage, one more Negro bank established will be that many steps by which the Negro Business League may make secure its place in the economic affairs of our great and prosperous country. "The particular objects that the league wishes to leave with you are these: First, aim to be your own employers as soon as possible. If you are a farmer, do not rest until you control the land on which you live. If you are a mechanic, seek first to own a home without mortgage, foregoing many things until you are free from debt. Second, to get every individual to become a member and it is important and especially to be desired, that every line of business in which any Negro man or woman is engaged should be represented, because only by a complete representation will it be possible for the league to show to the world what progress the race has made in business since freedom was conferred upon it. "To make their name but a badge of honor, a glorious banner floating in the midst. Stirring the air breath with impulses of generous pride exalting fellowship, until it soars to magnanimity. "Not because I am a Negro is why I should expect the support of my community; but because I am meeting competition and delivering the goods. Finally, gentlemen of this august body, THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE permit me to congratulate you upon your stand for racial co-operation; you would be true for there are those who trust you. You must be strong for there is much to do. You would be brave for there is much to dare." The next regular meeting of the local league will be held April 5th, at the headquarters, 458 West Broad St. Come early and bring a new member. SURVEY OF LABOR CONDITIONS ON GEORGIA FARMS A complete survey of the actual present labor conditions in Georgia on the farms—with the collection of some other data necessary—will be made on March 28, 29 and 30. The survey is to be made by the students of the higher grades in the public schools of each county, and will be a body of statistics vitally important at this time when the conservation of productive agricultural labor is a matter of so great importance in the campaign to make Georgia self-sustaining in producing its own food and feed and doing her share in raising the cloth crop for the world. J. E. Rodenhamer, farm help specialist for Georgia from the office of Farm Management U. S. Department of Agriculture has mailed out the survey blanks to each county, sending them to the school superintendent, who will in turn mall out a sufficient number of schedules to each teacher of his county for use in each school district. These surveys are being made in all the states, they are made for the purpose of obtaining an estimate of labor needed during the coming season and a statement of crop acreage, live stock, seed and other farm necessities and supplies wanted or for sale. The survey is conducted under the joint auspices of the public school system of the state, the State Department of Labor, the Extension Division of the State College of Agriculture, the State Department of Agriculture, and the United States Department of Agriculture. The information asked for in the schedules is to be strictly confidential. It embraces: The name, size of farm, address of owner, distance from post office, county, district, militia and school, and number of persons in the family over fourteen years of age available for work on the farm. Under the head, "Hired Labor" the facts are to be obtained: Number hired for entire year; last year, already hired for 1918; yet to be hired this summer, and number hired for short periods, last year, already this year and yet to be hired. Under the head of "Livestock", the number on hand now, the number on hand a year ago, the number the farmer wishes to buy and the number he wishes to sell, of the following classes of animals: Dairy cows, bulls, beef cattle, work horses and mules, sheep and hogs with the classes, subdivided of each kind—as boars, brood sow, pigs etc. This survey will be made on the dates and in the manner indicated above. It will place the exact labor and crop situation in the hands of the Government, so that such steps may be considered to relieve conditions that are unfavorable to the making of the most out of the land this year. The juniors' play and dance was a financial success. The play is to be repeated at the New Catholic hall on April 10. Tuesday the seniors and juniors had their weekly debate, resolved that a vegetable diet is more healthful than a meat diet. Affirmative, Reita Dummore, senior; Elizabeth Green, Negative, J. Hardwick senior; Maude Howard, junior. The negative won the debate. There will be no session of school on Good Friday. Thursday, three of the dents from the Ga. State College came to Beach. They were selling patriotic pins for the benefit of the Y. M. C. A. A meek trial is to be given by the Normal English classes. The classes are now writing out the trial: Claude Williams, a junior, is charged with stealing a chicken from Mr. Thomas Birney, the senitor. The case is to be tried by Judge James Hardwick, a senior. Counsel for the defendant Blanche Dicks, junior. Counsel for the plaintiff, Marguerite Shelton, junior; clerk of court, Reita Dummore, senior; witnesses for the defendant Maude Howard, Nellie Singfield, Bentrice Maxwell, Enobia Smalls, Cordella Saulter, Carrie Cannick; witnesses for the plaintiff, Leila Holmes, Ara Dempsey, Edha Taylor, Jennie Stonev. Charles Rogers. The jury will be drawn from members of the different classes. Two more new books have been given to the school's library: copies of Shakespeare's comedy "As You Like It." Albert patterson was absent from school, part of last week because of the death of his grand mother. Sunday, March 17, there was a BEACH INSTITUTE NEWS meeting of the graduates and former students of all the A. M. A. schools, held in the chapel at Beach Institute. The purpose of this meeting was to take preliminary steps toward the formation of a local chapter of the alumni league of the A. M. A. schools. Mr. Duncan Scott was appointed chairman. A committee was appointed to draft a constitution and by-laws. Those on the committee are Rev. W. L. Cash, Miss Shivery, and Mr. L. M. Rowland. The next meeting will be held on April 21st at 4 p. m. In Beach chapel. A. M. MONROE Funeral Directors LADY ATT Prices to Suit. Always Opsa promptly al fats are fuel for fighters. bake-bowl-and broil more—fry less M.
