COLORED TROOPERS SLAIN IN BATTLE Members of Troop H, 10th Cavalry Reported Killed Several Wounded and Others Taken Prisoners in Conflict at Carrizal. Capt. Charles T. Boyd and Lieut. Adair Among the Killed Huachuca, Ariz., (Special)—According to reports received here, a detachment of the Tenth Cavalry, which led an expedition into Mexico, was almost annihilated. In reporting the attack, the scene was described as a dangerous spot and a stronghold for the Mexicans. The surroundings were such as to make an ambuscade very easy and because of this the Mexicans, said to be Carranza soldiers surprised the Americans and it is reported that seventeen of the bravest men that ever wore a United States uniform were slain, several wounded and others taken captive and sentenced to be hanged. Exact details are very meager. The Mexican General, Gomez, and the commander of the American forces, Capt. Chas. T. Boyd and Lieut. Henry A. Adair, are reported among the killed. A later report is that General Pershing, with 3,000 men has gone to the rescue of the soldiers taken prisoner. The detachment of the Tenth Cavalry reported in battle at Carrizal, consisted of 76 men of troup H, one of the famous Colored troups that was recently praised by General Funston for its record march to save a colony of Mormons. The regiment is the flower of the American army and has won distinction in Cuba and the Philippines. THE NEGRO IN THE MOVIES ALLMON-HUDLIN FILM COMPANY, NEW NEGRO ENTERPRISE, TO PRODUCE AND EXHIBIT MOVIES. STORY OF PROGRESS WILL BE TOLD IN MOTION PICTURES To put the Negro in the movies is the plan and purpose of the newest Negro business enterprise projected in St. Louis. The new company is known as the Allmon-Hudlin Film Company, and its purpose is to tell the history of the progress of the Negro American in rivid motion pictures. Charles. Allmon, the head of the new firm, is a practical moving picture operator and has been engaged for several years in giving moving picture exhibitions in St. Louis and in suburban towns. Richard A. Hudlin, one of the best known daily newspaper writers in St. Louis, Mo., who is also a veteran actor and dramatic manager, will be associated with Mr. Allmon as manager of the new enterprise. The promoters of the new enterprise believe they have discovered new and fertile field, worthy of all the brains and capital that can be put into it to develop its possibilities, in telling the true story of Negro American life in realistic motion pictures. The rapid growth of the motion picture business has led many writers to class it as a momentary fad, that will decline as rapidly as it rose in popularity, but all thinking people can see that the moving pictures have come to stay, and that they are instruments capable of much good or much evil, according to the way they are ased. In all the motion picture films now being exhibited, as in the daily press the Negro gets but incidental notice except as a criminal or a morial. Out of all the motion picture producing companies in the United States there is not one that has devoted a single reel to pictures of special interest to Negroes. It is to fill this immense gap and supply a much needed improvement in the moving picture business that the new enterprise was projected by Messrs. Allmon and Huddlin. The new film company has been engaged for several weeks photographing scenes of interest to the Colored people of St. Louis, which they will begin to exhibit next week to the public, in a series of exhibitions. Among the attractive pictures that will be thrown on the screen will be pictures of the exterior and interior of the largest and finest Negro churches, showing the pastors and congregation in action and the choirs in solemn processional. Several of the largest public schools have been photographed in St. Louis, East St. Louis and Brooklyn, Ill, showing the principal and teachers with the pupils in action. The St. Louis Colored Orphan Home was pictured on May Day, together with the crowd of more than 5,000 spectators present, and the Masonic parade, led by the K. P. Juvenile Band. The St. Louis Old Folks Home will be shown The St. Louis Argus Colored Illinois Regt. Off to Mexican Border Eighth Infantry Led By, Col. Franklin A. Dennison, Ready to March. Rafus M. Stokes, Former St. Louis- an, Capt. of Company I Chicago, Ill., Special to Argus Chicago, Ill., Special to Argus Seven thousand men · comprise the Illinois National Guard consisting of eight regiments of infantry, one regiment of cavalry, two battalions of field artillery, a medical and two field hospital corps, a signal corps and an engineer corps. There are also ten divisions of naval reserves. The Eighth Infantry is composed of Colored boys, officered by Colonel Franklin A. Dennison, Lieutenant-Colonel James H. Johnson, Majors, R. R. Jackson, Charles L. Hunt, Otis B. Duncan. Staff Captains, W. T. Jefferson, W. S. Bradden, L. B. Anderson, Lieutenants, S. McGowan, C. N. Hinton, H. W. Jones, Robt. A. Ward, Second Lieutenant, Robert Shaw. The Eighth Regiment Armory, located at 35th and Forest Ave., is the scene of great activity, where the Colored boys are preparing to take their leave of their wives and sweethearts possibly never more to return. Orders from Adjutant General Dickson, of Springfield, to Colonel Frank A. Dennison were to "get your men to a strength of sixty-five to a company" and over one hundred men had enlisted in Eighth Infantry before 1 o'clock the same day. There are twelve companies in all. Many of the older men are happy to answer the call to duty, while the younger boys seem sad, yet willing to go. Many a heart is aching yet the wives of the troopers seem resigned to their fate, and will be watching and waiting the return of 900 of the best soldiers responding to the president, to defend the country. Failed To Indorse Negro At a meeting at Union Memorial Church last Wednesday night, the Negro voters of the seventeenth ward failed to indorse L. S. Williams for committeeman for that ward, against the present incumbent, Hon. Frank M. Slater. According to the reports, the meeting was intended to be a "star chamber" meeting, called by Rev. B. F. Abbott, pastor of Union Memorial Church, at the dictation of Ralph Turner, for the purpose of endorsing Mr. Williams, with only a few voters present. This, they say, was shown by the fact that notices were sent to only a "select few." Those who opposed any action just now, say that, if is a personal fight, by Ralph Turner, former Serjeant at Arms of the. House of Delegates, because he has not what he calls, "been taken care of" by the politicians, and that the fight was more on Turner than anything else. Some of those present said they saw the signs of Lawler Daley in the move. When seen by an Argus reporter, Mr. Turner stated that a "packed house" was present by the "job holders," and he did not blame them for the stand they took. He said he did not care what they accused him of, he was for the Negro, and would always stand up for his rights. The meeting was presided over by Rev. B. F. Abbott; Wm. Banks acted as secretary.

Will Make Birmingham, Ala., Next Stop Rousing Reception Tendered Proprietors. Large Business Meeting of Agents Special to the Argus, Birmingham, Ala, June 22 The executive force of "Poro" College is now in Birmingham, receiving as usual the cordial welcome of over 500 "Poro" agents. An exhibition of "Poro" movies was given at the C.M.E. Church, of this city last Monday night, which aroused so much interest and enthusiasm, that the following night was given to another exhibition at the Sixth Avenue Baptist Church, for the benefit of the Colored Orphans' and Old Folks' Home. Both churches did not afford standing-room for the enormous crowd which attended each night. Always appreciating the presence of the executive force in their city, it is not a strange thing that the "Poro" agents of Birmingham and neighboring towns are making everything pleasant and agreeable for them while in the city. They have already been royally entertained by the many "Poro" agents and their friends. Mrs. Annie M. Pope-Turnbo-Malone founder of "Poro" College will spend a few days with her agents here, giving them new ideas in "Poro" System of scalp and hair treatment, which is one of her greatest delights. The force has visited almost every small town between Memphis and Birmingham, in which "Poro" agents are working, including Jackson, Tenn. Leaving Birmingham they will continue their travels southeast. AT "POBO!" COLLEGE Each department in this institution is putting forth every effort to keep the business in good running order during the absence of the proprietors and doubtless Prof. Martin Lewis, who is superintending, will have a good report on their return. Another new face is seen at the college in the person of Miss Dessire Mercer, Mayfield, Ky., a new student. To the post course class has been added Miss Blanche Miller, Leavenworth, Kansas. Graduates for last week were, Mrs. Lucy V. Jones, Chicago, Ill., and Mrs. Lillie B. White, Tarkanak, Texas. BRILLIANT SOCIAL EVENT Keokuk, Iowa, Special: A social affair of unusual interest was witnessed on Monday evening, June 12, at Gibbons Opera House, when Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Freeman entertained at a reception and dancing party in honor of the graduation of their daughter, Miss Verna Haliscia Beamon. There were more than four hundred guests present, Miss Beamon being the only Colored graduate of a class of forty-two. She was highly honored by remembrances from her many friends being the recipient of numerous valuable tokens. The reception hours were from seven to nine. In the receiving line with the host and hostess were also Mr. and Mrs. Rufus Dandridge, grandmother and grandfather of Miss Beamon. Agnes' seven piece orchestra furnished the music for the occasion. The large dancing hall was tastefully decorated with huge palms and ferns while here and there conspicuously and artistically arranged were green and white cut flowers. The guests were seated at intervals in the dining room at one long table where, too, the class colors of green and white predominated, the table presenting a. picturesque scene with long streamers of green and white ribbon suspended from the chandeliers to the baskets of cut flowers. The menu consisted of lettuce sandwiches, bread and butter sandwiches, sliced tongue, olives, saratoga potatoes, coffee, green and white cake, vanilla ice cream with green marachosch cherries, green and white mint patties. The dining room service was in charge of Mr. Howard Burrell, assisted by Elmer Townsend, Robert Scott, John Gaysong, Jacob Nelson, George Wesley, Russell Dandridge. The Misses Ellis and Lulu Weldon, presided at the punch bowl. The guests were invited to the dining room by Mrs. M. E. Dixon, Mrs. Emma Teebau and Mrs. Georgia Coleman. They were met at the door and introduced to the receiving party by Miss Madah Lewis, Miss Jennie Harper and Mrs. Eunice Townsend. The grand march was led by Mr. French Bland, Sr., and Miss Beamon. The dance program was in charge of Mr. Jesse J. Johnson of St. Louis, Mo. In all it was said to be the largest and grandest affair that Keokuk society has witnessed. Those present from out of town were: Miss Riss Ray, of Dalton, Mo.; Mra. Sallie Smith, of Louisiana, Mo.; Mts. Lueinda Butler, of Paris, Mo.; Mr. Jacob Nelson, of Burlington, Ia.; Mr. Edward Robison, of Marshalltown, Ia.; Mr. Harry Harper and Miss Jennie Harper of Fort Madison, Ia., and Mr. Jesse, J. Johnson, of St. Louis, Mo. SOCIAL PIRATES CREATE REAL SENSATION Two Young Nemesses of Selfish and Dishonest Intrigues, Expose Methods and Teach Powerful Lessons, Sounds Warning Against too Much Confidence The great art of motion pictures has probably done more to bring the many phases of human existence to the masses than any other agency ever employed. And in doing it has delivered many a sermon, sounded many a warning and prepared many a person for the battles and strifes in life. Every day, through the intrigues of some heartless selfishness, presents its hundreds of innocent victims. One of the greatest business and political evils was just recently, laid bare in a series of pictures. Now we have another series called "The Social Pirates," which is even more interesting because they consist of several short superb stories, magnificently told, which are but stepping stones in the life of every man or woman, boy or girl, who aspires to social affiliation. Each of these episodes is a complete story; each takes up some evil that besets the honest and industrious life, such as the loan sharks, the gambling den, the petty thief, the jealous rival, the dope victim, the false friend and many innocent amusements, all skillfully exposed by two young ladies who have determined to show the world the sickness of society. The leading characters of Mary and Mona are played by two star actresses, Marian Sais and Ollie Kirby. Three episodes have been already shown at the Booker Washington Theatre, and have created a decided sensation on account of the secrets unveiled. Next Wednesday, the fourth, entitled "A War of Wits," will be shown. There are really three plots, all interwoven into one thrilling story. The story is well named, "The War of Wits," and the battle between Mary and Mona, to secure from an unscrupulous doctor the money that he wrings from a mean and stingy, but rich old woman, make an absorbing and thrilling tale. There are fifteen of these stories. Each is complete within itself. They are not of an exaggerated "blood and thunder" variety, but a pure and clean narrative, true to life, such as any young lady or gentleman will seek for in a public library. Each has a lesson to teach. Each has a warning to give. Be sure to see "A War of Wits" at the Booker Washington Theatre Wednesday, June 28. MONSTER RATIFICATION AND MASS MEETING The political meeting to be held June 26, 1916, at Pythian Hall, to ratify the nomination of Justice Hughes, Republican presidential nominee, promises to be one of the greatest political gatherings of Negroes in recent years. The giant political figures whose presence at the meeting is promised, will give distinction and importance to this gathering of St. Louis Negro Republicans that will be unparalleled. Some among those who have promised to be present and address the meeting are Hon. Jacob Babler, Republican national committeeman; Hon. Theodore Hucklebride, chairman Republican state committee; Mayor Henry Kiel; Chairman John Schmoll, Republican city committee; Hon. Edmond Koelm; Dr. J. T. Caston, Attorney Geo. L. Vaughn. Ladies are especially invited. All Negroes should avail themselves of the opportunity to be present at this meeting and learn of the record of the new great party leader, Justice Hughes.

C. J. WALKER TRIUMPHS IN EAST Makes Lasting Impression on Citizens of Hub City—Her Work Highly Praised by Leading Citizens—Noted for Charity Work—Acquires Valuable Property—Employs Best Talent to Represent Her Business BENNINGTON CENTER Garden of Mirth Opens July 3 Madame C. J. Walker, noted hair culturist and president of the Walker Manufacturing Co., Indianapolis, Ind., who just returned from a very successful tour of the South, is now in the East where she addressed large and enthusiastic audiences last week in New Haven, Conn., and Boston, Mass. At each place Madame Walker gave an illustrated lecture showing pictures of the marvelous growth of her business and other interesting scenes taken from nature on her extensive tours through the United States, Panama, West Indies and other islands of the sea where Madame Walker is widely known and where the Walker hair preparations are extensively used and giving such absolute satisfaction that the business has unprecedented growth. The Clerical force which is composed of some of the best scholars ever graduated from the leading colleges of the country, is kept busy getting out daily the immense volume of business that comes into this office from all parts of the country. That Madame Walker is the originator of a hair grower that is producing the best results and giving better satisfaction than anything on the market is evidenced by the hundreds of letters coming in daily to the office bringing new business and additional orders for the Wonderful Walker Preparations. "Honesty, a square deal, and every man up," has always been the policy of Madame Walker. She is never forgetful of the rights and comforts of others and has made an unprecedented record for alleviating the wants of others and giving largely to charity. Her donation of $500 to the General Conference of the A. M. E. Church in its one hundredth anniversary of the church at Philadelphia, last month, for the organization of a Temperance Department of said church inspired the members to raise $700. Madame Walker has the special distinction and wonderful inspiration of being the first in the field of large gift The management of the Garden of Mirth has just announced that Monday July 3 will be the opening day for this big amusement garden. Many surprises in the way of new things are in store for those who attend the first night. You will meet, your friends there. The workmen on the grounds are rapidly transforming this field into a place of beauty and pleasure. Don't Make a Mistake The place will positively open July 3; in fact, everything will be ready Saturday. July 4 will be the big day, so don't make the mistake that others perhaps have made by planning to spend the day elsewhere. The largest out-door dancing pavilion in the city is being erected and Miss Jeanette V. Mack will have charge. The very best order is assured at all times. Refreshments will be served on the grounds (soft drinks only). Nothing is being overlooked by the management to assure perfect pleasure for the whole family. We Shall Spare Neither The Garden of Mirth will cater strictly to its name, a place of pleasure and recreation for young as well as old. PRICE 5 CENTS WALKER PHS IN EAST Citizens of Hub City—Her Work High- -Noted for Charity Work—Acquires Best Talent to Represent Her giving in so many ways. She was the first Negro woman of the world to give $1,000 to a Colored Y. M. C. A., thus making it possible for others to follow in the same good cause and the Y. M. C. A.s all over the country greatly benefited. She is also making it possible for five boys and girls to be educated in Tuskegee to afterwards go to Africa and later into the field hitherto, untouched and build an institution such as the late Dr. Washington founded in Alabama. Mme. Walker gives regularly a large percent of her income to charity and is able to give employment to thousands of women throughout the United States. At Flushing, New York, the late Bishop of Derrick's Court will be the future home of Madame Walker where she is erecting a $50,000 plant. The race is justly proud of Madame and she is recognized everywhere as a great business woman. The above cut shows the Indianapolis home, upper left corner, reading down, Cleveland, Ohio, branch office; residence in Chicago, and Madame and her electric Waverley car. Upper right-hand corner, Bishop Court at Flushing, N.Y., where she will build her future home, reading down next comes the office in Indianapolis, residence; next, below the Walker factory the main office of the business and below her Cole touring car. The center of the picture shows Madame Walker's likeness, with the Lelia College at New York in the background. Madame Walker has recently added to her agency staff some of the strongest and best known women of the country, for which she needs to be congratulated as this is a strong compliment to Madame Walker's business ability and the confidence and esteem in which she is held by all who know her, for these women themselves are well informed business women and are of national reputation. In particular do we mention Mrs. Victoria Clay Haley, of Continuen on page 4. Each and every drama, will be high class and contain a moral true to every day life. We will spare neither time nor pains to have them meet the approval of the most reserved, and guarantee that every patron will be benefited intellectually, morally, religiously and socially by the rendition of the same.

"Lilian Simmons," by one of our leading Negro authors, (Mr. Otis M. Shukelford) and dramatized by Col. B. E. Watkins, will be one of our headliners during the life of the garden.

(Special to St Louis Argus). The case of Mattie Weir 3219 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo., vs the estate of the late Joseph Carter, Mrs. Lillian Carter executrix, after many setbacks, was finally heard before Probate Judge Hon. Henry H. Hoehlenkamp, June 14. After hearing all the evidence in the case the judge took the matter under advisement, and rendered a decision Friday against the plaintiff. Mrs. Weir brought suit against Carter's estate for $1,500.18 claiming that amount was due her for service rendered and money advanced during his life. In denying the plaintiff's claim, Judge Hoehlenkamp ruled that the statute of limitations barred the claim inasmuch as it covered a period of nearly twenty-five years. When informed by an Argus reporter that the claim had been denied, Mrs. Weir stated that she did not know that a decision had been handed down by the judge in the case; and that her lawyer had not so informed her. She said, however, that she was not willing to let the case drop just now, but, she did not know what her lawyers would do.

Dr. Rudolph Vitt For Coroner The position of coroner is one which should be filled with the greatest care because of its peculiar functions. It should be filled by a broad-minded, upright, fearless, Christian man; one who, in discharging his official duties will enforce the law regardless of whether it be a Jew or gentile. The Colored pepole should be vitally interested in the election of a coroner who will consider the life of a Negro the life of a human being, and when a Negro is involved, enforce the law just as vigorously as when white people are concerned. In former years the law has been so laxly enforced that St. Louis is filled NATHAN FRANK THE RIGHT MAN FOR THE PLACE When Nathan Frank, as representative to Congress from the 12th district of Missouri took his seat in that body in 1889 he at once attracted attention. His loyal training and broad and comprehensive views on national issues gained for him much appreciation and placed his name in the rank of eminent lawyers and statesmen. After Mr. Frank retired from Congress he still maintained a deep interest in the success of the Republican Party, and, has always been at the beck and call of his party, for any service that he was qualified to render them, and this service he often rendered freely. If fitness, springing out of experience and moral and intellectual training and service to the nation and party is a necessary qualification for U. S. Senator, Frank can have no superior in Missouri. He is an original Hughes man and should Hughes become president and Frank be elected as United States Senator, Honorable Nathan Frank will hold up the hands of our president while the battle will be won on the side of the party. It is useless to enumerate his good deeds for the city, the state and the nation. Men who know him will tell the story. His fair treatment of men without regard to race can be testified to by hundreds of the Negroes in St. Louis. Let us vote for Nathan Frank in the primary. He is capable and deserving.—P. H. M. HANS WULFF Republican candidate for nomination for Judge of the Court of Criminal Correction No. 2, was born and educated in St. Louis and is devoted to the city and its development. He is active, broad-minded and capable. He is in the prime of life. Those who know him give him credit for being considerate in judgment and drawing no color line between races and nationalities. He is a winner. His nomination, already is one of the certainties of the campaign. P. H. M. JONES H. PARKER FOR PUBLIC ADMINISTRATOR.

It has been a very easy matter for the political fixers to turn the worst criminals loose, to live amongst the best Negroes in St. Louis, and it is time that the Negroes were awakening to this situation and choosing a fearless and upright man to fill the office of coroner. In Dr. Rudolph Vitt, you will find the embodiment of justice and honesty. He asks to be nominated on the Republican Ticket, August 1. He promises to place the coroner's office and its official records on a high plane in harmony with the great courts of justice. Dr. Vitt is quite well known, and everywhere can be heard the most favorable comment on his candidacy. fair, square, humane and generous in administering them so as to see that a portion, at least, is given to the heirs. It is not a job to be conduct-first-rate Public Administrator, is because in settling estates of small amounts he would not allow his office or legal cormorants to eat it up and leave the widow and orphane penniless. Such a man is needed as public administrator. Many poor estates come into his hands intestate, and he need be ple.

Parker resembles in features the immortal Abraham Lincoln, but the physical resemblance, however close it may be, cannot be any nearer than is his moral sense; for the freedom from pomp, that geniality, that love of fellowman which made one the highest type of our American manhood dwells in goodly quantities in the other. The Negro, at least, must not forget that Mr. Parker was their friend in the legislature; stood by them in St. Louis when attempt was made to segregate them, and, as Public Administrator he will draw no lines on color, but administer even-handed justice to all alike.

The North, with its boasted advantages and its vaunted claim that all men should merit the right of citizenship, regardless of color or creed, must at this time stand with bowed head and drooping lids, for it must surely feel that if Negro men are good enough to fight, and die in the defense of this country, they are at least good enough to have a square deal before the law and an opportunity to dwell in peace and happiness. We hold no brief for the people of the North, for we feel that if wrongs are permitted in any section of the country and the other sections make no effort to right those wrongs, they are just as much at fault as those who commit the wrongs. Texas, whose inhabitants are nearest to the zone of danger, and whose border is at this time being defended by gallant Negro soldiers this same Texas, will not permit a Negro soldier, though he be dying of thirst and hunger and clothed in the regalia of the United States army, though he might be wearily making his way home after months of guard duty for the safety of Texas, will not permit him to have a bite of food in any of its public eating houses; and let us remind you that it is this same Texas that suffered a mob of white men at Waco, to take from the court room, after he had been convicted and sentenced to hang, a Negro boy of 18 years, and his body burned at the stake in the public square; not satisfied with this act of savagery, the mob fought each other in order to cut off the fingers and ears of the vietim that they might have souvenirs in remembrance of their dastardly deed. While we as a race, that have given its quota of sacrifices in all wars, deplore the tragic end of the brave Negroes who gave their lives on Mexican soil, that their enemies might not suffer, we also think that this government, has yet a solemn duty to perform before it can claim this country to be the home of the brave and the land of the free. The treatment of its Negro citizens is the SHAME OF THIS NATION. We wonder if the reward will still continue to be LYNCHINGS, SEGREGATION, DISFRANCHISEMENT.

Education is in vain if not put to use. It is doing, not how to do, that wins. Our number of graduates is increasing year by year from the high, academic and collegiate institutions, and the openings for their employment fall far short of the supply. Without sufficient openings our qualified boys-and girls become driftwood, timeless and purposeless in life. Awake! Oh, Zion Awake! take hold of this question and throw your soul and energy into the work of establishing businesses that will employ our own people. Out of a population of 60,000 or 70,000 Colored people, St. Louis ought to at least have 1,000 Colored business men. We don't mean men in businesses that cater to the superfluities of life, but men in businesses that supply the necessities. Most of our businesses favor amusement and frivolity, and open avenues and create inducements whereby we can squander the hard earned dimes. We need to get into more enterprises which supply the solid comforts. Economy, not dissipation, efficiency in doing and not amusement in playing, are what we need. But these essentials to the future welfare of our young graduates can not come to pass without the co-operation of all our people. Patronage is the only foundation upon which business can be substantially developed. Development calls for service, and service means employment. If you fail to patronize the business that offers employment to our young men and women you deny them the right to advance. You close the door of hope and discourage the ambitious. The future of our graduates is up to us. They are on our hands. Let us be up and doing. ST. PETERS CHURCH Quarterly meeting will be held at St. Peters Church, Elliot Ave., and Montgomery St., Sunday, June 25. Rev. S. P. Thurman, presiding elder, will be with us all day. Dr. W. H.

SIMMONS SCHOOL PICNIC The thirty-ninth annual picnic of Simmons School was given at O'Fallon Park on June 12, 1916, under the auspices of the Simmons School Patrons' Association. It was an ideal day and an ideal occasion, enjoyed by over seven thousand persons—parents, pupils, teachers and their friends. Every child in the Simmons and Cottage Ave. schools was given a free ticket for ice cream and lemonade. It took over 60 gallons of ice cream to redeem the 1,500 tickets thus given away. Before the day of the picnic the children sold 1,058 ice cream and lemonade tickets to the general public. The arduous task of redeeming all of these tickets and of waiting on the public at the booths fell upon the members of the association. Great credit is due them for the efficiency of their service and for the systematic business management displayed in the handling of the finances on that occasion. Prof. R. H. Cole and his teachers were, for the first time, left free to look after the welfare of the children on the grounds, one of the factors which contributed so largely to the pleasantness of the occasion. The receipts were as follows: Tickets sold at Simmons School. $ 76.90 Tickets sold at Cottage Ave School ..... 20.90 Tickets sold by patrons ..... 8.10 Total from sale of tickets..... $105.80 Ice cream sold on grounds..... 93.23 Soda water and candy..... 84.08 Concessions ..... 12.75 Total receipts ..... $295.86 Expenditures Band ..... $ 48.00 Ice Cream ..... 80.50 Soda water ..... 27.60 Candy ..... 15.00 Flags ..... 10.00 Auto hire and vans ..... 15.00 Printing and Publicity ..... 28.45 Lemons, Sugar, etc ..... 8.40 Sundry incidental exp ..... 26.83 Total expenditures ..... $259.78 Balance in treasury ..... 36.08 SERMON TO ROOMING HOUSE KEEPERS In keeping with their work to do something for the community, the Brotherhood of Union Memorial Church prevailed upon their pastor, Rev. Abbott, to preach a special sermon to rooming house keepers on last Sunday. The Brotherhood had distributed literature and used other methods to have the meeting well advertised. Therefore a large audience was present to hear the message. The pastor spoke principally of the business and common-sense side of the rooming house life. He said that the rooming house was a necessity to the city life, and for that reason great responsibilities rest upon those who engage in that business. He told them that they should raise the standard and dignify the business. He warns them that the time is not far when the present system of running rooming houses must fail, and ere long a new system and new names would be introduced that would put the average keeper out of business. He urged an organization for the protection against professional dead beats and "bad land-lords." The sermon met the general approval of the audience and the Brotherhood is to be congratulated for doing something real for the community. The committee who had charge of the program were: J. C. Braacy, L. Nickerson, W. M. Cunningham, F. D. George, W. Ridgeway, S. A. Cornal, W. C. White, Chas. H. Wilkins, President.

Sadly missed by mother and father, Mary and Thomas R. Oty, sister and brothers.

GRAY, D.D. ol the Moody | Tastitute i) Senne tier a4 ‘TEXT—And = shall hear of wars and Tumors of wars; see that ye be not trou- ‘bled; for these things must come to pass, Dut the end fs not yet, For nation. shall ‘rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.—Matthew ™:6, 7. Never within the memory of living man did these words of our Savior find . rar the verge of it. ‘ But it is the conditions in our land that most 4 i_ 4 deeply ocupy our : ‘thoughts, No mat ter-what our politics, we will not af ,firm that our ‘chiet magistrate is a ‘mere “alarmist; and therefore when he makeg:such speeches and utters _ Such warnings as occupied him for a time last winter, it is dificult to be Meve that our peace is not seriously imperiled, sted What Is Our Christian Duty? What {s the duty of the American Christian in such times? Of course, we have in mind the Christian citizen who has a duty and responsibility to the state and to God not shated by others, however sympathetic they may be, t 1. His first: duty Is to. become intel- ligent as to what the situation is. How vast is the scope of his ipvest- gation? Should we interfere in Mex- “IeoY Do" our” relations” with” any or the other foreign countries demand that we should prepare for war? And are we prepared for war, as some say? And is it true that to be any more prepared is to provoke war? ‘These are not speculative ‘questions, but stern realities, They are not worldly, there is = pense in which they come very close to the center of our réligious life. Good men are considering them, there is earnest dif- ference of opinion about them, and sooner or ister we must cast our ti- fluence one side’or the other. This must be done in the light of God's ‘Word as we understand it; and it must be done, not merely with the thought of results in the present time, but-in that day when wo must give account to God for the deeds done in the body. ' 2 Hila next duty Is to exercise the righta and privileges, nay, the sacred obligations, of @ citizen. Humanly speaking, ours is 8 “government of.the people, by the people and for the peo- ple,” and we cannot waive the re- sponaibilities it entails without invit- ing @isaster. We havé'a reaponsibilt ty to express our opinions if we pos sess any. The press {x open to many, the use of the pen in private corre- spondence, and, thatik God, speech is still free. Not in anger should we: discuss these questions, not in thd spirit of Partisanship, ‘not to foment atrife of to make a breach between men, but as Christians who wish their country to be right and to please God, we should bear our testimony when occasion serves. And then there is the sacred right of franchise at the primary as well ‘aa the general election. The Lack of Prayer. & ‘This brings us to hie chief duty, that of prayer. Real, intelligent, spirit-energized prayer for our lanl and its rales is not common even ih our pulpits, outside of the liturgical churches, at least, and. is still less common at the weekly prayer meet- ing. And {inasmuch as the family al- tar bas so fallen into neglect one wonders how much prayer” ts: offered. anywhere, and by anyone? And yet are the home, the church and the school of all places in the world, those where the highest and best of our na- tion are to be kept in view? ‘One could not. but be struck by % remark of Admiral Beatty of the British navy, who, in addressing communication to « London society ‘some months ago, sald, that in his ‘Opinion, the present war would not be Drought to an end, and his country come off victorious, until the latter was stirred by o general revival. He {s not the only leader in that nation who believes her ‘present afflictions are in some sense 8 judgment upon Yer for her sins, And how’ truly may the same be said for any or all of the other nations now engaged in war? ‘The Comfort in the Text.

A ‘Director of omer aens se (Copyright by Western Newspaper Union.) - LESSON FOR JUNE 25 REVIEW, SECOND QUARTER. eee ee ERS whatacever things are honorable, wliateo- ever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good Teport; If there be any virtue, and if ‘there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4:8. 2. 2 The lessons for the: past three months extend over a period of per- haps fifteen years, from A. D. 37 or 40 to A. D. 52 or 55. It is the history ‘of an ever expanding church and the ever widening influence of the work which Jesus began and continued to do after his resurrection, through the Holy Spirit. No adequate or proper review can be’ conducted without the aid of @ map. If none is available, take a large sheet of manila paper ‘and let sote of the scholars’ make ‘an outline map. showing the strategic centers, Jerusalem, Damascus, Anti- ‘och ond as far west as Philippi, also ‘the “country ‘Involved, the Goast Tine ‘of the “Great Sea,” etc. It is good idea not to locate the chief cities, but have pupils attach to the map small, round, red and white stickers on -which might be printed the name of each city. Then other pupils might trace on the map the course of Paul's journeys. “If all of this work is done in the presence of the entire school it will ald greatly in holding attention as well as placing before the schol- ars a visible delineation of the lands: involved in this portion of sacred his- ‘tory. The most outstanding incidents which have been studiéd during the past quarter, such as the conversion. of Saul, the healing of Aeneas, the “Falsing of Dorcas, Peter's visit to Cor- nelius, etc, could also be located geographically by means of thumb tacks with tags attached, A most in- teresting’ review would be to organ- ize in the school a number of travel clubs, Let each clib come prepared to give a “travelogue,” or travel talk, describing some of the chief events, such as the.Damascus journey, a ‘Journey to-Joppa, to Cyprus, to Iconi- um, ‘from Antioch to Jerusalem, etc. Let the pupils write out, their ac counts and as each is written have some scholar indicate on the map the places involved. and others hang up in plain sight-of the entire school a piece of cardboard bearing a single sentence Indicative of the leading les- son of the event described. ‘This lat- ter will mean to use a sentence or parts of sentences as>” “We are men of like passions as you.” The ele- ment of contest could be employed by having, all the pupils in a given de- partment bring such sentences relat- ing to the lessons on cards, and let that scholar who can bring the great- eat number of sentences be declared the winner. The teacher must of course help-materially in such a con- test by direct suggestion and by en- couraging the pupils to undertake the task before them. : For the adult and older ‘teen age classes {t might be well to assign to different scholars a number of great Problems which have been treated in the lessone of ‘the quarter, and let each come to the class prepared: to read a brief essay or to discuss the subject assigned, relating it of course’ to the work of the review. (Lesson L) “How the Holy Spirit converts men today.” (Lesson V) “How can the church be aroused to the great work of missions.” (Lesson VIII) “The Perils of Popularity.” (Lesson XI) “The conditions of salvation” and so on. ‘Another interesting plan would“be to have different members of, the class prepare at home a brief synopsis of, the chief characters of the quarter's lessons. % Such a use of charts is valuable in that it appeals to thé eye, is a real test of knowledge and helps to sys- tematize our information for future use. J The facts of the quarter are about as follows: * Lesson L. The Risen Christ’ by his overwhelming glory conquers bia bit- ter enemy, Sul. Lesson Il: Men are hedled and the dead raised by the power of the Ris en Christ. Lesson IIL. Peter, the Jew, ig pre- pared’ and Cornelius, the Gentile, is | called to a momentous conference. | Lesson IV. Jew and Gentile alike | receive the gospel and are sealed by the Holy. Spirit. | Lesson V. The Risen Christ by bis angel delivers his servant, Peter. Lesson VI.

THE FIRST WEDDING SCENE FROM "THE ROSARY" AT THE RIALTO SKYDOME SATURDAY, JULY 1 THEATRES THEATRES MURIEL RINGGOLD AND ERNEST WATTS A BARREL OF FUN Ringgold and Watts are offering the Booker Washington Theater goers a combination of burlesque comedy, this week, that magnifies the expression "A scream" to the extreme. Miss Ringgold gets the lion's share in this. From the time she first enters, in her absurd attire, until her final exit she provokes a side splitting hilarity that penetrates every niche of the big auditorium. Her two big song numbers, "On the Old Ship Rock and Rye," and "I'm Going Crazy, Don't You Want to Come Along," set the house wild and call for repeated encores. She trims these numbers, with some eccentric dancing that only this little lady can ever duplicate. Mr. Watts does not fail to show to advantage in his singing and dancing also with his cigar smoking specialty. They close with, "When I Leave The World Behind," sung in conversational style and leave the stage with the audience screaming for more. The Rock Midgets, two little Misses, score nicely in a singing act. The littlest one is roundly applauded after her song numbers. Both have extra strong as well as 'sweet' voices and are very graceful. May Woods, ventriloquist, is well appreciated for her efforts with "Elite." her little manikin. Her singing is excellent, but her articulation in jokes is not quite distinct enough. She, however, 'deserves the credit of being the only female ventriloquist and outclasses many of the stern sex. Edgar Martin, of whom we expected much, proves to be one of that type of footlight specialists who depend upon smutty jokes and vulgar actions to get by. His work was so raw Monday night that hundreds left the theater disgusted. His act was given a thorough renovation after the first performance but the stench could not be completely eradicated. He is out of place before a St. Louis audience. It's just such acts as his that put the Consolidated Time on the bum and nearly wrecked the Booker Washington box office.

This is the first time this wonderful stage drama has been offered for five cents. It is as good as any good sermon and teaches a good moral lesson. The cast will include Kathlyn Williams and a host of well known photo-play favorites. BASEBALL Brock's Park, at 3600 S. Broadway, will have another big double header for the baseball fans Sunday. The first game will be between the Alpen Brauns and the National Lumber Company team. The second between Charlie Mills' Giants and the Hillsboro (Ill.) Champions of Southern Illinois. Both games should be well worth the single price of admission. The first will start at 1:30 and the second about two hours later. The Giants took two games in decisive fashion last Sunday, one from Nashville, the other from Jefferson Barracks. The Barracks team had only lost 1 out of 15 games and is rated the best semi-professional club in this neighborhood. The Giants' victory only shows the caliber of the Colored stars. The St. Louis Syndicates lost to the Union Giants in Springfield last Sunday, 5 to 4, in a 11 inning game. Keys, on the mound for the St. Louis boys, allowed only 3 hits, but Kid Tyler, the great shortstop, had an off day and threw the game away. The next game will be at the Syndicates' new park, Roth Ball Park, 6900 Olive Street Rd., next Sunday, June 25. Go out and see the next best team to the Giants. RAGTIME PIANO CONTEST A series of Ragtime Piano Contests for men will be started at the Booker Washington Theater soon.

Strangely fascinating are the words that come from the cultivated lips of this most interesting man whose journey of life has taken him through all the renowned public crypt, Egypt, and Europe. It seems, indeed, if his knowledge must come from that mysterious world of which we all would know, yet longing, cannot know. He looks far away into the dim mysterious future—beyond—across the dark chasm which separates the earth from the fitting soul—and that which is to be told.
