The Savannah Tribune. VOLUME XXXIII Health Week Begins Tomorrow SERMONS BEARING ON HEALTH TO BE DELIVERED IN ALL CHURCHES Auto Tour Speaking Campaign and Meeting to be Features of the Week Tomorrow begins the celebration of National Negro Health Week by the colored people of this city. Health conditions among Negroes are bad everywhere, illness is frequent and largely unnecessary, death rates are excessive and particularly in Savannah. It is sufficient to indicate conditions in our own city of Savannah to say that of 155 persons dying last year of tuberculosis alone, 132 of these over four-fifths were Negroes. These alarming local conditions will be dealt with by all the Baptist ministers and all of the Methodist ministers in their sermons. Many thousands of Negroes are expected to get the message of good health and better sanitation, and these will go home to improve their yards, see that their garbage is moved regularly, remove the causes of flies and other disease agents, and improve the health of our people. The ministers will make special appeals to their congregations to use a great deal of white-wash and paint during the week to improve the appearance of their surroundings. On Monday night a dozen automobiles with doctors, ministers and laymen will carry the gospel of health to as many of the neglected sections of the city. Literature furnished by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company and by the city Health Department will be distributed to the people at the street corner lectures. On Friday night many prominent public speakers will lecture on health at Tabernacle Baptist church, Rev. E. D. Davis, pastor. Following are the principal speakers: Friday night—Dr. Jamerson, "Dentistry and its relation to health." Dr. E.' J. Smith, "When the physician should be consulted and when he dismissed." Dr. Harris. "Typhoid Fever." Dr. Frazier, "How to fight consumption." Dr. Belcher, "Relation of garbage to disease." D. J. Scott, "The economy of health." Prof. Pearson, "How many Negroes are sick all the time? How many Negroes die? The cost of illness and death. On Monday night at 8 p. m. sharp, the automobiles of the following persons will assemble at Wage Earners Bank to begin the lecture tour: Messrs. Dilworth, Monroe, Bowen, Butler, Brent, Tucker, Grant, Jamerson, Lemon, Smith, Harris Scott and others. Those who have so far volunteered to deliver addresses on the streets from automobiles are: Rev. N. M. Clarke, Rev. T. J. Goodall, Rev. W. W. Worthen, Mr. H. T. Singleton, Rev. S. T. Dr. F. S. Belecher, Dr. E. J. Smith, Dr. W A Harris, Mr D J Scott, Dr Jamerson, Mr. T. J Carter, Mr A B. Singfield Dr. Daniels and others. The Pilgrim quartette will sing. SUBSCRIBERS IN ARREARS ARE URGED TO PAY UP Subscribers whose accounts with The Tribune are in arrears are urged to pay up by the first of May or their papers will be discontinued. The high cost of paper and printers' material makes it necessary to cut off the papers of all those who are behind in their subscriptions. ODD FELLOWS MASS MEETING TOMORROW The Odd Fellows and inmates of the Household of Ruth will hold a mass meeting tomorrow at Masonic Temple. The object of the meeting is to endeavor to get the lodges and households together on matters pertaining to the order in this state. No program has been arranged for the occasion, but many talks on the condition of affairs as they now exist will be made. Mr. W. F. Searles will preside, MARRIAGE ANNOUNCEMENT Mrs. Hattle Martin announces the approaching marriage of her daughter. Ruth Noisette to Mr. Frank Huginnia, same to take place next Wednesday evening. April 24th, at the residence of the brides mother 608 W. Bay street. Rev Daniel Wright officiating. AUTO TURNS OVER WITH A PARTY OF JOY RIDERS None of Party Sustains Any Serious Injuries A big seven passenger Packard touring car with a party of eight persons ran off the road Tuesday morning early while going at the rate of about thirty-five miles, rammed into a tree and then turned over. The accident happened on the Ogeechee road, about eleven miles from the city. The machine was being driven by Joseph Bruin who with the other seven persons had been to King's Ferry and was returning to the city. It seems that the car either had the steering knuckle broken or the driver suddenly lost control of it as it neared the curve where the accident happened. The machine was almost a total wreck and the fact that none of the occupants was seriously hurt is a miracle. The party left the city a little before midnight for a drive. Aside from the driver it consisted of Jimmie Webb, Bill Telfair, "Chie" Alken, Henry Young and three young women. Several of the men were thrown through the windshield and the other occupants of the car were pinned under it when it turned over, though no one was dangerously injured. BEAUFORT, S. C. NEWS Mr. Tillman Campbell died at his home on Bladen street on Monday April 5th. His funeral took place Tuesday from Tabernacle Baptist church. Mr. Campbell was a member of Prof. Allen's brass band, also a prominent Odd Fellow, all of which paid him their last honors. *** Corp'l Charlie Kee of Camp Jackson, was here this week.

Christensen and Son was coming to the city from their warehouse at the railroad station. Young Arthur Brown, the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown, tried to catch the fastly moving truck to get a ride to the city. his work being out at the barrel factory. He failed to catch the truck and the rear wheel of the heavy truck passed over his left side, breaking his neck. His funeral took place Wednesday from Tabernacle Baptist church. The sympathy of the entire community goes out to Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Brown.

SAVANNAH, GEORGIA, SATURDAY APRIL 20, 1918 Says Negro Soldiers Should Not Insist On Rights EvenThough They Be Correct COMMANDING OFFICER OF NEGRO DIVISION SO ORDERS WHEN NEGRO SERGEANT INSISTS ON CIVIL RIGHTS N. A. A. C. P. Takes Matter Up With War Dept. and Says that Order is Most Unjust, Humiliating and Inexpedient, and Asks War Department to Have It Repealed New York, April 12.—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, through its Secretary, John R. Shillady, makes public the following letter addressed to the War Department concerning an order issued on March 28, by command of Maj. Gen Ballu, Division Commander of the 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kans., in which colored officers and men are advised that "no useful purpose will be served by any action upon their part that will cause the color question to be raled," and admonished them to "refrain from going where their presence will be resented." The Association directs the War Department's attention to the fact that Major General Ballou's order concerns illegal actions taken against colored officers and not illegal or unworthy acts performed by colored soldiers themselves. Copies of the division order and the Association's letter follows: HEADQUARTERS 92nd DIVISION Camp Funston, Kansas BULLETIN No. 35. 1. It should be well known to all colored officers and men that no useful purpose is served by such acts as will cause the "color question" to be raised. It is not a question of legal rights, but a question of policy, and any policy that tends to bring about a conflict of races, with its resulting animosites, is prejudicial to the military interest of the 92nd Division, and therefore prejudicial to an important interest of the colored race. 2. To avoid such conflicts the Division Commander has repeatedly urged that all colored members of his command, and especially the officers and noncommissioned officers, should refrain from going where their presence will be resented. In spite of this injunction, one of the sergeants of the Medical Department has recently precipitated the precise trouble that should be avoided, and then called on the Division Commanded to take sides in a row that should never have occurred had the sergeant placed the general good above his personal pleasure and convenience. This sergeant entered a theatre, as he undoubtedly had a legal right to do, and precipitated trouble by making it possible to allege race discrimination in the seat he was given. He is strictly within his legal rights in this matter, and the theatre manager is legally wrong. Nevertheless, the sergeant is guilty of a greater wrong in doing anything, no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity. 3. The Division Commander repeats that the success of Mr. Davison, with all that that success implies, is dependent upon the ood will of the public, and they can break is just as easily if it becomes a trouble maker. 4. All concerned are again enjoined to place the general interest of the Division above personal pride and gratification. Avoid every situation that can give rise to ill-will. Attend quietly and faithfully to your duties, and don't go where your presence is not desired. 5. This will be read to all organizations of the 92nd Division. By command of Major Ballou; DR. CLAXTON TO SPEAK AT Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States commissioner of education, will address the United States bureau of education Reading Circle at First Congregational church on next Thursday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The public is invited. SATURDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKERS. PASTE OR BREADDAT FOODS CONTAINING WHEAT Edw. J. Turgeon Captain, Asst. Adjutant, Act. Adjutant. War Department, Washington, D. C. Sirs: The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People desires specifically to direct your attention to what in its judgment is a most unjust, humillating and inexpedient general order affecting colored officers and, men of the 92nd Division of the National Army, issued on March 28, 1918, as a Bulletin Number 35, by command of Major General Ballon at Headquarters, 92nd Division, Camp Funston, Kans. This, Bulletin, which has come to our attention within the last day on two, directs colored officers and men of the 92nd Division to "refrain from going where their presence will be resented," and asserts that the interest of the service require that members of this command shall not insist upon their legal rights but that they shall not do anything, "no matter how legally correct, that will provoke race animosity." This latter reference is mentioned in the Bulletin in connection with a specific instance in which a colored sergeant entered a theatre and was illegally discriminated against in the seat given him by the theatre manager. This Association is desirous that colored officers and soldiers now in the United States Army shall acquit themselves with credit to their country and to their several commands. It is constrained to believe, however, that Gen. Ballon is in error in assuming that the good of the service will be promoted by enjoining colored officers from performing perfectly legal acts which would in no wise be resented by any part of the population where these officers not colored. Furthermore, we believe that the people of the United States as a whole will indignantly resent the inputation contained in the third paragraph of the Division Commander's Bulletin that because the public is nine-tenths white its good will will be forfeited if Negro officers and privates avail themselves of the usual privileges of attending places of recreation, amusement and entertainment. On the contrary, we believe that the public as a whole will be quick to resent and conduct on the part of theatre managers or other business men denying to men wearing the uniform of the United States any right or privileges to which they are by law entitled. We further believe that this order is not alone unjust but injudicious in that by its very terms it raises questions of race discrimination more serious than that which might be raised by any other, means of which we can conceive. We cannot believe that the War Department of the United States will approve of any order characterizing as "personal pride and gratification" any proper exercise of the rights of citizenship, if exercised by a colored man in uniform. MR. ARTHUR DILWORTH Mr. Arthur Dilworth, one of the oldest and most efficient carriers in the local postmen's force, resigned from the service on the 10th of the month. He had been a carrier for about 18 years. He left Monday for New York where he will be joined later by Mrs. Dilworth. MONDAY ALL MEALS WHEATLESS WE NO BREAD, CRACKLE, PASTE OR BREAKFAST FOODS CONTAINING WHEAT All Suspects Dismissed by Recorder Next Morning Thursday afternoon about 7 o'clock the police arrested about twelve Négro men in the pool room at the corner of West Broad and Gaston streets, charged with vagrancy. The next morning in police court, the entire crowd was dismissed by Re corder Schwarz who reprimanded the officers for failing to investigate the charges against the men before they were arrested, saying that the men all appeared to be working men and that the police had no right to arrest them unless they had proof that they were vagrants. He also said that such action on the part of officers were the means of defeating the law against vagrancy instead of upholding it. N. A. A. C. P. LAUNCHES BIG MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Making Effort to Secure Enrollment of 546 By April 27th Every Negro in Savannah should have heard the varied and long line of brilliant achievements which the National Association has wrought in the interest of Negro freedom and opportunity, in the recitals of Revs. Goodall, and Alexander and Pres. Belcher last Wednesday night. It was urged by all the speakers that every Negro should join the association at $1.00 per year. Members of the executive committee and all members will be stirring around the city during the ten days' campaign and it is expected that the Savannah quota will be realized. Members of the association who are officials in other civic and fraternal organizations of the city, are urged to enlist membership from the ranks of their respective organizations. Drive buttons may be obtained free of charge, from J. G. Lemon, secretary, Wage Earners building. WAYCROSS, GA., ITEMS Alfioch Baptist church was a scene of a model funeral last Sunday April 14. Rev. J. W. Johnson officiated in a way that was worthy of the notice of many sensual ministers. All the enologies on Mr. Pitts, who was a great society man, were sane and sensible, and the sermon itself by Rev. Johnson was a gem of eloquence, common sense, and brevity, being free of that nerve racking, exciting harangue which has been so characteristic of most funerals among our people, because of which many people who do not desire to be stirred about their lost and loved ones generally avoid going to funerals. The family has our sympathy. * * * From the outlook, it seems that Miss M. H. Demby the sweet mezzo soprano singer of the race is going to have a large auditorium to greet her next Tuesday night, April 23, at McWraw's Auditorium. Many are coming early to avoid the rush. The proceeds go to the Northside School piano fund. Our organist at Mt. Zion A. M. E. Church. Miss Isabella LeSesne, has given us all a surprise party by announcing that she was married on March 31, to Mr. Conrad Wilson. We certainly wish her much happiness on her long voyage, and are glad to note that she is pleasantly located at her home. 244 A. B. and A. avenue. Prof. N. L. Black, formerly president of t otueShehGlnounceRnJ..5ETAOI of the South Georgia Industrial College, an duwo is now doing similar work in Sparks, Ga., was in the city last week visiting his family. He reports that he is receiving noble patronage up there. His friends here are glad to here of his success. The many admirers of Miss Cora L. Gary, who was the music teacher for the Reidville public school last term, will be glad to learn that she is equally as popular with her patrons in the public schools of Quitman, which is much nearer her native home, as she was here. She reports that she has a splendid system of schools. The Board of Education in its last meeting on the 8th inst., re-elected all of the principals of both white and colored, of Waycross city schools, sending each a letter congratulating them on the unparalleled work that has been accomplished this term. In his own language, the superintendent said: "This is the smoothest and most successful year of my seven years admin istation." NUMBER 33 Wage Earners Bank Takes $5,000 Bonds LARGEST SUBSCRIPTION TO LIBERTY LOAN TAKEN HERE BY NEGRO INSTITUTION Bank Made Headquarters for Negroes In Third Liberty Loan Drive The community was very perceptibly surprised at the announcement that the enterprising directors of the Wage Earners Bank had voted to take $5,000 worth of the Third Liberty Loan Bonds. This announcement was especially surprising and notable because of this institution's liberal subscription to the two former issues. The news caused a great ripple of comment in business circles down town at Liberty Loan headquarters and many compliments have been coming in to the bank officials. The subscription was referred to by Pres. Williams as a sort of "Widaw's mite" in comparison with a great many other larger subscriptions, but suggested that it showed the willingness of the Negro business men of Savannah to co-operate in the great effort to finance the great war which may mean so much to a great many of our people. It is also observed that this was one of the first subscriptions made to the new loan. The Wage Earners Bank has also been designated as the official headquarters for the sale of Liberty Bonds to colored people and offices have already been open there, in charge of the officials of the bank, who have volunteered to distribute literature and give such other information and aid in the sale of bonds as may be deserved. The bank expects to be directly instrumental in getting about $20,000 additional subscribers to the Third Liberty Loan through its thousands of depositors and stands ready to place its entire resources of over $400,000 at the disposal of the government should this be deemed necessary. ELKS MEMORIAL SERVICE LARGELY ATTENDED Dr. W. G. Alexander Delivers Stirring Address to Lodge The memorial service of Weldon Lodge No. 26, of Elks and Elite Temple No. 71 Daughters of Elks was largely attended on last Sunday afternoon at the Star Theatre. The lodge marched in solemn procession from Masonic temple and the members of the temple assembled at the theatre. The exercises began at 4 o'clock and every number was well rendered. The duets by Misses Rosa E. Collins and Metta A. Galloway and Mr. J. B. Moultrie and Mrs. Janie E. Collins were exceptionally good. Mrs. Collins also acquitted herself admirably in enologizing the life of Mr. C. C. King. Jr., the deceased member of the order of this year. Messrs Joseph R. Brown, Earl Parks and Henry Mack handled their parts well. The principal address was delivered by Dr. W. G. Alexander who held the large audience spell bound with his outflow of eloquence. It was a stirring address and well received. HOLMES—BRYANT Miss Mamie Victory Holmes and Mr. John Robert Bryant were married on last Wednesday night at 632 41st street west. Rev. T. J. Goodall officiated. PHILADELPHIA AND Mrs. Polly Zanders left last week for her beautiful home in Waycross, Ga. It is said that the word Mat——was spelled in Waycross and she heard it in Philadelphia. It is said she has gone to pronounce it for them. Mr. Cross of Chester, is very sick. His friends wish him a speedy recovery Mrs. Ward of Savannah is shaking hands with old friends in Philadelphia. Mrs. Ward thinks she will spend the summer here. Mr. Samuel Fantroy has returned to Boston to look after some important business. The members and friends of Bishop Tyree are glad to see him out again. His few remarks Sunday night were enjoyed by all. * * * * Little Elive Glover formerly of Savannah will sing in Mother Bethel on April 25th, she is only 8 years old.

AND BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO FLY HER BANNER AT THE HEAD OF ALL No State has offered the nation of which it is a part more than Georgia has in the past.

Where Lines are Drawn Straight The very first thought on seeing any collection of important models, is, “Oh, how straight they are,” and then one looks again to sce how this very straight effect is gained. The waist is large and Jeose; vanished is the pinch- in belt, except in some cases (for, of course, there are exceptions to this rule!) The bus has the effect of being very flat and low, and the tunics, long and short, carry the eye in longer downward sweep to the deep hem. Sleeves are having thelr own way ‘very much this year. Perhaps they ex- tend to the wrist, with a sweep over the hand; perhaps they are wide and betl:shaped, ending below the elbow; or they muy be contrary, and refuse to even reach the elvow. In any event they are very important, and have fas- cinating cuffs of the same or contrast- ing material, embroidered or braided to the nth” degree. Sometimes the sleeve is slashed to show a peep of col- or of the arm itself. Many of the French dressmakers are featuring slashes. Then the skirt is quite narrow, sometimes making a slash a necessity.

They usually measure from 2 yard and a half to a yard and seven-elghts in width, and are, as a rule, rather short, twelve inches from the floor being the favored length. There are so many pretty bordered materials from which to choose this year. Combined either with plain material, or with the unbordered part of the goods, charming effects can he obtained without any extra trimming. The little dress illustrated here has ‘one of the one-sided tunics, which are proving so very poular. The uneven yoke of the tunic is decidedly a fashion feature also. This dress was of dark blue foulard, with its border and gray dots of emeral green, and the founda- tion skirt and sleeves of plain blue sat- in. Sometimes these one-sided tunics are faced back with a dep contrasting color, as for instance, in this case em- erabgreen satin was used, the edges being scalloped together, Embroldery flouncing is especially appropriate for a moilel of this type, and makes a dain- ty atfractive little dress for the sum- mer days. There is something very picturesque about these gay little Jackets, and they haye another side that is equally worth considerating, for think how many woolen sweaters they are releasing for the hoys at the front! ” 1 saw one very fascinating costume the other day composed of a sleeveless over-blouse of salmon-pink silk jersey, with a skirt to match. The waist was as frilly as possible, to make up for the severity of the silk jersey. It was made of softest batiste in a paler shade of pink and bad rows and rows of nar- ‘rowruflles outlining the sailor collar and edging the turn-back cuffs. The only trimming on the jersey was big ‘applique motifs of wool on the deep ‘pockets. | With the true idea of conservation there are particularly pretty little greases made of tub silk and satin. They are simple, as they should be, but remarkably becoming. Sometimes they belong to the wrapped-on type which require no fastenings, and some- times they slip on ever the head, thus once again combining style and utility. The one illustrated here gives the ef- fect of a striped dress, the dots being {2 even rows. The underwalst ts of white wash satin, and the pearl but- fons that fasten it down the front are mere apolosies for trimming! The hat worn with it is very easy to make, the crown being of soft satin and the brim is edged with straw. A hat of this type can be worn with any num- ber of dresses.

PAGE SIX Among The Masons Our Grand Master Remembered by The Orphans Below is a copy of a letter sent to Grand Master Butler, signed by the inmates of the Masonic Home at Americus, Ga., showing the amount of appreciation expressed to the Grand Master for kindnesses to them. The reply from the G. M. which follows will show the Grand Master's love for the little orphans: Masonic Hôme, Americus, Ga. April 11, 1918. To our Masonic Father: We the inmates of the above named Home, are grateful to God for giving us such a good and kind earthly father as you are. We send greetings to you on your fifty-sixth birth day, and pray God to spare you another fifty-six years. We are all well and getting along splendidly in our studies. You are invited to be with us at the close of school. We congratulate you on a life of usefulness, and we are striving to make our lives useful like yours. With love and best wishes we remain Lovingly yours, Inmates of Masonic Home Atlanta, Ga., April 12, 1918 To my dear Children: When I came to my office this morning I found a large package of mail awaiting my attention from my brethren. In that mail was a great surprise for me; it was a letter from you signed, "The Inmates of the Masonic Home," bearing congratulations. "I want to thank you all, each one separately, for thus thinking of me. It is said that when a man or woman reaches fifty years in life, they have reached the toji of the hill, and there after they go down on the other side. If that be true, I am going down on the other side now. But I do not feel any older than I did when I was twenty years old. What I am anxious about is this, I am anxious that each one of you shall be a better person and a more useful person in your lives than I am, or have been. You can do that if you will only make up in your minds to be that and nothing else. I want to thank you all for the congratulations you have sent bearing upon my usefulness in life; really, that is all God is leaving us here for, any way—to make the world better, to be kind to the little children, and especially to those who have not the tender care of a loving mother and father; to be kind to the pigs, cows and chickens, to make flowers, fruits and vegetables grow in the place of grass and briars. That is what God is leaving you all here for, and when you fail to do these things He takes you away and gives your place to another. Now, may each of you fill your little places so well until God will keep you working in his vinyard until you are much older than I am. May God bless you all. Love to the teachers, 2Your Masonic Father A Mason is bound to consult the happiness and promote the interests 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 family; to defend his life, property, and what is dearer to a man of honor, his charac- ter against unjust attacks, to instill in his mind proper ideas 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 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 and good faith to all men; it epones the cause of universal benevolence and virtue; it declares as unworthy of its patronage any violation 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 thann if they were not Masons.—Orphans Friend and Masonic Journal. "Without faith the soul is dead—is shrouded in doubt and indecision and despair whose night never lifts. Faith is the child of love—the mother of laughter—the very antithe- is 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 goodfellowship. which is the heritage of warm hearts, mean true happiness and real success." —Ancient Lodge Notice. Masonry is a school which teaches equity and justice, as the rule and practice of its students. Masonry Outsile the Lodge There are Masons and Masons. There is the Mason perfect in his work of the Order, always present at the meetings of all the bodies, decorated with charms and pins and rings, the admiration of himself and the envy of the younger brethren. Examine him closely. What is he outside the lodge room? If he is selfish in his aims, hard with his tenants or employees, neglectful of his family, unscrupulous in his business methods, smutty or profane in conversation, deaf to the appeals of the needy; if he is any or all of these, that man is no Mason. He is rather a hindrance to the cause. The strongest argument against Masonry is the Mason himself. The world knows, as well as we do, what our order incileates, and it salso know, far better than we realize whether we are practicing what we profess, and when it sees the divergence between practice and precept it decelves you and the order. The unfaithful Mason is injuring the whole fraternity. As an individual he may not care what the world thinks of him, but he has sworn to protect the good name of his brethren and when he brings his own good name into disrepute he is inflicting a most serious injury on every other Mason in the community. As a secret organization the only knowledge that the world can have of our order is the effect that it has on the men who belong to it. If it tends to make good men and true, then it will judge well of this institution; if it does not do this, opinion that will be formed must be evil. The only real use Masonry is in the world is its effect on men outside of the lodge room. Its teachings and ritual, beautiful as they are, are only means not ends. We are brought to light in order that we may let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven. If we fail to do this, we are untrue to our obligation, unworthy Masons—Trestle Board. **** Try This Plan An exchange offers the following suggestion that might be adopted with profit by subordinate lodges: "We would suggest that every lodge in this jurisdiction have a meeting, to be known as 'Roll Call Night.' At this meeting, a roll of all members is to be called, and, have him tell something of the good old days and why he attended lodge, and what he thought of the order in those days. It is a good thing to get together and 'swap' reminiscences. It will bring into being again It will mean new life, new interest and new activities. What lodge will be the first to try it?"—Brotherhood. . * * * * There is no indorsement of Masonry more flattering than to have a good woman with pride remark that her father, brother or husband was a Mason. Any order that can produce men of which the mothers, wives, sisters, widows, or daughters are proud should need no further recommendation.—Ex. The Real Beginning When the newly made brother is raised to the degree of Master Mason. As a matter of fact, his experiences as a Mason has only just begun. He has received the tools and equipment of a Mason, and their uses have been explained to him. Now he is expected to apply the principles of Mason and conduct which have been illustrated during his apprenticeship and the service as a Fellowcraft. The ceremonies of Masonry, the perambulations and lessons and lectures, are the school which fit men for practical Masonry, a life of service and performance. These things are not the end, but the means. Conferring degrees is like making shoes. Shoes are of no use until you wear them, and degrees are of no benefit until you apply the principles they inculcate. In the ardor and the pleasure of our lodge work we are apt to exalt the ceremonials in the first place and to worship the form rather than the substance. When asked what our lodge is doing we mention the number of degrees conferred and the names added to the roster, forgetting the real service to humanity which as Masons we are expecting to render, and which is the only justification for our profession.—Masonic News. The Lambskin The lamb-skin, or white leather apron, is an emblem of innocence, and the distinguished badge of a Mason. You will observe it is not rounded, but a perfect square, and its right angles inculcate truth and honesty, the great lessons of morality. Its four equal sides are to remind the wearer, that in innocence, he is to practice the four THE SAVANNAH TRIBUNE SATURDAY APRIL 20,1918 cardinal virtues, temperance in words, and acts, fortitude in a noble purpose and justice to the humblest and greatest alike. Its flap is an equilateral triangle, whose three sides refer to the three attributes of God, Omniscience, Omnipotence and Omnipresence. The two strings remind us that reverence for, and the practice of the Masonic virtues, inculcated by the apron, should be bound to the heart and conscience, by double ties of love to God and man. The apron with its flap, represents the material, and the spiritual. The numbers of the apron's sides, four, and the flap, three, constitute the sacred number, seven, which is called a perfect number, because it makes up the perfect figures of a square and triangle. The number also refers to the seven liberal arts and sciences, much revered among Masons, and which according to the legend of the Craft were the foundation of Masonry. There is one peculiar significance about the lambskin, and that is, it is one of the first symbols of the Masonic life, and also the last, when deposited in the grave of a departed brother. Brethren, think of the lambskin and ponder well the great lesson it teaches.—The Pittsburg Triangle. When is a Man a Mason? When he can look out over the river, the hills and the far horizon with a profound sense of his own littleness in the vast scheme of things, and yet have faith, hope and courage. When he knows that down in his heart every man is as noble, as vile, as divine, as diabolic, and as long as himself, and and seeks to know, to forgive and to love his fellow man. When he knows how to sympathize with men in their sorrows, ye, even in their sins—knowing that each man fights a hard fight against odds.

When he loves flowers, can hunt the birts without a gun, and feels the thrill of an old forgotten joy when he hears the laugh of a little child. When he can be happy and high minded amid the meaner drudgeries of life. When star-crowned trees and the glint of sunlight on flowing waters, subdue him like the thought of one much loved and long dread. When no voice of distress reaches his ears in vain, and no hand seeks his aid without response. When he finds good in every faith that helps any man to lay hold of higher things, and to see majestic meanings in life, whatever the name of that faith may be. When he can look into a wayside puddle and see something besides mud, and into the face of, the most forlorn mortal and see something beyond sin. When he knows how to pray, how to love; how to hope. When he has kept faith with himself, with his fellow man, wit his God; in his hand a sword for evil, in his heart a bit of song—glad to live, but not afraid to die! In such a man, whether he be rich or poor, scholarly or unlearned, famous or obscure. Masonry has wrought her sweet ministry.—Selected. It Tells the Truth Masonry never advises: "Join this church," or "Do not join this church." It never urges allegiance to any party, nor asks any man to leave his party. It wages no war upon any of the institutions of men. But it does two things: It tells the truth about the rights of man and the attitude of both civil and religious institutions toward those rights; and it discountenances any attempt on the part of party, potentate or priest to interfere with the individual judgment of man in the exercise of those rights. —Brotherhood THE DAYS THURSDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS FRIDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS SATURDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS W.

COOPER—In sad but loving remembrance of Mr. S. B. Cooper, who departed this life April 21, 1916. We miss you in the place of prayer, And by the hearth-fire light; We pause beside your door to hear, "Once more your sweet good-night." Calm on the bosom of thy God, Fair spirit, rest thee now; E'en while with us thy footstep trod, His seal was on thy brow. Dust to its narrow house beneath! Soul, to its place on high! They who have seen thy look in death, No more may fear to die. Lone are the paths, and sad the bowers Whence thy sweet smile is gone, But oh! a brighter home than ours In heaven is now thine own.

The deceased was a member of Trinity M. E. church of St. Marys and after moving to this city he connected himself with Asbury M. E. church.

He was born in Augusta, Ga., 34 years ago but lived here practically all of his life. He went to Pennsylvania about a year and a half ago. He is survived by Mr. Joseph Shedrick of Savannah and several sisters of Augusta. Good, good, was the sentiment of those who heard the address of Mrs. W. D. Thomas on last Sunday from the subject, "Woman's Part in the War." Mrs. Thomas during her discussion came very near winning the reputation of being a full-fledged suffragette, but with that mastery of a veteran speakers, she ended up on natural grounds. Miss Alma Tyson tuned up the occasion with a patriotic song entitled "For Dixie and Uncle Sam." The singing of Mr. W. J. Kennedy, Jr., Miss H. Parkhurst and the instrumental solo by Miss Nellie Smigfield were all of that high class order. The program tomorrow will be as follows: Instrumental solo, Miss Lottie Roundfield CARD OF THANKS We take this method to express our heartfelt thanks for the many expressions of condolence tendered our family in the hour of sad bereavement because of the death of our beloved sister, Dolly Jones, and we also wish to express our imperishable gratitude to our many friends, for their beautiful floral offerings.
