VICKSBURG MOB LYNCHES NEGRO AND BURNS BODY Storms Jail And Breaks In Three Steele Doors To Get Prisoner, Thousands View Body Roasting On A Fire. VICKSBURG, Miss, May 31—Lloyd Clay, a 26-year old Negro, was lynched and burned here, a week ago by men who stormed the jail, throw the sheriff, Frank Scott, into a corner, mining him to the floor, broke through a heavy one-inch steel barred window, then broke a heavy iron door from its hinges, want to the second door of the builtfloor, broke steel doors from their hinges, and broke the prisoner from his cell. The Negro was charged with attempting criminal assault upon a white strl. It is claimed a Negro entered the home of Kelly Broussard about five o'clock in the morning and made his way to the room of a young girl boarder, apparently locking the door behind him. The girl, awakened, by his presence, screamed and fought him off Broussard, awakened by the presence of a girl who got into the room. The girl, Broussard sought to hold the intruder but failed, he breaking loose and making good his escape. Bloodhounds were put on the trail and Clay was arrested. The girl was taken to the jail, but did not positively identify him. A large mob quickly gathered about the jail and refused to be dispersed by the officers. They were informed that it was the wrong man, but this had no effect. Some few left, but others took their places. Judge Brien said, if there was any evidence against the Negro he would special term of court and organize a special grand jury. But this did not dispense the mob. Shortly after 6 o'clock the mob was summoned by men from different parts of the city. Sheriff Scott swore in a dozen special deputies who went inside the jail. At 7:45 o'clock a mob came into the street in front of the jail. They had a piece of railroad track 16 feet in length and began to batter a jail window. Sheriff Scott attempted, to talk to the crowd but the men crowded close about him so he could not lift his hands and quietly lifted him from his feet, then threw him over to a corner and forced him to the floor. His efforts to resist were vain. M. G. Cockrell, a contractor, who had been sworn in an a deputy, was rammed in the stomach by the railroad iron and fell the floor. He may be internally injured. The men turned their attention to the powerful steel bars and after hammering for 20 minutes the steel was broken and the parts embedded in the wall were forced out. The breaking of the other doors was a matter of short work, as the mob went at it with a determination to get their man. Clay protested his innocence but it had no effect. He was taken to within a short distance of the Bronxard home. A rope was fastened about his neck and thrown over a free limb 20 feet from the ground. Some oil was poured on the Negro's head and he was pulled into the air. He attempted to climb over the rope with his hands. Then his wife killed. The next move was to apply the match to his oil-soaked head. A bonfire was started under his feet, which dangled four feet above the ground. A fuselade of shots were fired into the body and into the air. There was a great crowd present, in including many women, who looked on in silence. Thousands viewed the body roasting over the fire and then went home. Two white men were shot, one probably fatally, and another seriously injured by a blow during the struggles attending the lynching. Another Mississippi Lynching.

By Associated Negro Press WARHAMON, D. G. May 28 The investigation and dissection service of the Department of Labor has issued a statement reporting an encouraging industrial equality in some counties of the country between Negro and white workers. This report, coming after the publication of the League of Nations is considered of more than antiquity, because the Labor Department and many employers know only too well that "much of the Race prejudice in the United States has been due to the refusal to grant the Negro workman industrial equality and equal wages for equal work," says the Christian Science Monitor. Concerning a specific instance in Ohio, employing over 200 Negroes permanently, over 30 per cent having been with the company five years or more, the vice-president showed that Negroes and whites are on absolutely and skillful in both the unskilled and skilled occupations, and that no marked difference between them in either the skilled or unskilled occupations has resulted. These industrial workers are rated as individuals, garments of color, to such an extent that no regular records are kept which separate the races in different classes. In answer to the question as to the propensity of the Negro to "lay off when in funds" the manager of the abo per firm stated: "The 'casual laborer' white or black is apt to show this tendency."

PRESBYTERIANS CONDEMN LYNCHING During the session in St. Louis the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church, among other things, adopted a clause in a general resolution on denning lynch law. It is understood that their Colored brethren would not be satisfied unless the church took some action against one of the greatest evils which menace the welfare of this government today. The fourth section of a general resolution which was adopted, read as follows: Resolve, "That the General Assembly place itself on record against the wicked and unlawful practice which is commonly called lynch-law, and that ministers and people be urged to exert every influence in time of excitement to preserve the authority of duly constituted courts of justice." The Victory Banquet given by the Missouri Negro Republican League Club at the home of the Presidential organization, 2330 Pine St., last Tuesday evening, was a most interesting affair.

Aloe, over his opponent, Flint Garrison, for the presidency of the Board of Alderden of this city.

May 8—At a meeting held by last Thursday, the Negro exhibitors, Mississippi, Louisiana and Arkansas protested against the method of distribution and the rates asked for the government film, "Our Colored Fighters," which is at present being distributed by the Downing Films Company of New York. The rate asked the company which was considered unreasonable, raised high cases than rates asked for other Negro features which are considered far superior to the government film. It is safe to say that the Negro in the small towns will not have the pleasure of seeing these films unless the rates are reduced. The men present cover the states mentioned, and other exhibitors from Alabama, Georgia and Florida are asked to join them. These men take the motion pictures into the back woods and into the towns where there are not Negro theatres. It was expected that no profit was to be derived from these films and the Committee on Public Libraries in for its share of criticism for inclusion in the hands of a newly organized and inexperienced organization for distribution.

May 8—A step in the right direction certainly made when local Colored Baptist ministers drew up a petition, asking the white numbers to preach against lynching.

Many of the most inhuman deaths have occurred just outside of the church door, and in some instances, people have left church to attend one of these outdoor celebrations charred ristic of the South. With the clergy lined up against this evil and the co-operation of the white press, public sentiment should be converted to the evil of this menace. CLUBS NEGRO SOLDIER ASKING FOR A DRINK AT SODA FOUNTAIN By Associated Negro Press. LANTA, Ga. May 8.—That there is going to be a show down for "equal rights" and a consequent clash of races in the event of them not being granted; is more and more apparent from day to day. Bryanham Herne, a returned soldier from France, went into a drug use to make some purchases, on his way to the courthouse, the delftishful surrounding of France, and forgetting that he was in the bate-cline of Georgia stopped at a soda-fountain, and asked for a refreshing drink. Forgetting all Biblical admonitions with reference: "If thine brother ask you for a drink," one Powell, a white clerk, called a ball ball from beneath the counter, and proceeded to pound it against the soldier's head. Herne was picked up asensible, taken to Gruddy hospital and later to his quarters at Camp Gordon. Powell was arrested for "dusorderly conduct." One daily paper from Macon, telling of the story says: "While this is the first police court case, growing directly out of an attempt on the part of returned Negro soldiers to force he has been so as is known, it has been appalled and murdered for several weeks, by patrons of street cars, people in railway stations, and other multiples in Atlanta, that there is a marked difference in the department, the attitude and the general bearing toward the white race on the part of the Negro soldier as he was prior to "going across," and the Negro soldier who has come back from abroad." The proposal of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People to continue their membership drive until 100,000 members are secured, is being encouraged by many thousands of people. There is a strong determination and feeling that the time has arrived when there must be united action in behalf of the "true democracy" contended for in the war. OUTLIVED HIS SAVINGS CHICAGO.

It would have been a grand thing if every church in the city could have heard that lecture at that hour. Rev. Jenkins is delivering a great message to the world in behalf of the Race on "True Womanhood." Where ever he is heard of he should be heard. Rev. J. K. Parker preached a wonderful sermon at 8 p. m.

The church was packed to overflowing Sunday morning to hear Dr. F. Jesse Peck, dean of Western University and brother of Pastor Peck. His text was chosen from Isa. 55 Chapt., 7th verse. Theme: "Ways and Thoughts." Dr. Peck is a magnetic speaker and possesses a peculiar power that is irresistible. His hearers sat entranced as he eloquently portrayed the life and character of the great prophet Isaiah. His thoughts were pure and loty, so were his deeds. Environment and conditions are what we make them, paid the speaker. Men think evil they will act evil and commit crime. If they think high their standards will be raised and they will reach any height to which they may aspire. The men who have given the great inventions to the world are the men who have thought. As a race we must think better, think higher even into the presence of God. At eight o'clock the choir rendered a musical program in honor of the distinguished guest whose ruling passion is music. An Areo from Hayden's Oratorio Creation, "On Mighty Pen's" was rendered by Miss Estelle Kennedy. The large audience sat enraptured as the tones of her beautiful soprano voice, full of pathos and melody fell upon their ears. Mr. Roberts Moman's rendition of Leiber's "The Lord is my Strength" was superb. He was at his best and seemed to be impulsmight. bued with inspiration as was the Dr. W. H. Peck will preach at 11 o'clock next Sunday. Strangers and visitors always receive a hearty welcome at St. James. CENTRAL BAPTIST CHURCH - ITEMS. The services at Central on last Sunday were inspiring.

The new Royal Quartet will sing in addition to the choir. The service throughout will be unique and inspiring. All welcome. The pastor's subject in the morning will be "Daniel's Vision of the Little Stone." The pastor's sermon at 11 a. m. least Sunday was imbued with a wealth of logic worthy of much deep thought, with skillful handling and adjusting Paul's sentiments as he said "By the Grace of God I Am What I Am." I Cor. 15:10. These old words took new meaning and a glorious sermon touching all was given: Rev. J. Bowers preached at 2 p. m. m. wonderfully complete sermon on temperance. Subject "Self-Mastery."

She opened our eyes to a great many minor things, we never once stop to think of. Evening service conducted by Sister Rivers and Sister Hays. The pastor preached another wonderful sermon from the Revelation, 2nd chapter-10th verse. Rev. P. R. Royster, pastor; M. H. R. B. Button, reporter. We are living in an age of progress, and this should apply to every walk of life that goes for the making of this world safe for the cause of God and for humanity. The commercial world, the political world, schools, churches and societies are in lack of efficient leaders. When I say efficient leaders, I refer not to persons who can intellectualize, but those who have some stability and character. That's one of the great needs today. The true happiness of the home, the intellectual advancement of the school, the spiritual prosperity of the church, and the success of any government, are dependent upon men and women who possess noble character and worth. Under the great leadership of our pastor, Rev. Perry, our church is getting along well. You M. H. B. Baggage Checked To and From Station MORRISON'S A Chas. A.

A., stated in an address the week that an average of 2,000,000 foreigners will come to this country, in about time, annually; for a period of fifty years, when there will be 100,000,000 all American and Chinamen. He told that the matter will be looked at economically, only. (This country will need labors, and European countries, because of the war's de- station, will be unable to supply them. He continued, "Only Japan and China furnish the answer to the la- bor problems. Therefore they are bound to come, cookies and all, and they will come, unrestrictedly. And I believe they will intermarry with our people as other immigrants are doing. Japanese and Chinese frequently marry our university girls now. They will override racial prejudice, literacy tests and every obstacle." We sell furniture and piano polish; re-charge and connect door bell bateries. Guaranteed work. Edw. Taylor, 3923 W. Belle, Lindell 1883-R. 5-10-Incl CONCERNING YOUR HAIR INVENTION OF AN EXPERT CHEMIST. You probably have tried all sorts of remedies on your scalp without getting the desired results, until you have become discouraged and lost confidence in all hair remedies. Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Sebey's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result, they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Seeby's Quinada-soap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinada-soap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Quinada-soap, asking for them by their full names. Price is $25 each. If your drugalist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price, and we will mail them to you direct. Seeby Drug Co.

MISS OURI ---just whistle THEATRES TIM MOORE FEATURES BILL AT BOOKER WASHINGTON Tim and Gertie Moore, just back from a triumphant tour of New Zealand, Hawaii and the Orient, are the headliners on the Booker Washington bill this week. Tim is living up to his reputation of being the greatest burlesque comedian on the stage, and his original style of humor is making a big hit with the patrons. Mrs. Moore shows artistic improvement and shares in the applause the act is winning. One of the witty features in the team's repertoire is a comic cross fire of popular song titles. Tim has a humorous reservation and a song entitled, "You Go In. Mr. Friend of Mine." Other songs and plenty of funny stuff serve to hold up the act to the team's well known standard. Thelma the female impersonator, with a mito soprano voice, maintains the deception through three song numbers which require trained vocal talent and surprises his hearers in the end by revealing his sex. "His makeup is so perfect and his impersonation so true that one is hardly prepared for the truth when he removes his wig after a little dance during the final numbers." Cuney Connors, a ragtime pianist, singer and comedian, is a clever performer. He handles the piano with rare skills "cleaning up" with the "blues." "One of his artistic displays is a combination imitation of the ringing of Cathedral chimes and playing of the pipe organ. He is featuring his own composition "Gonzell Blues." His act is making a decided hit. Messrs. Chass H. and Tom Turpin, both braced out of town on a business trip this week and did not return in time to announce next week's bill for all one notice in this-column. One of the special attractions for the entire week will be pictures of the Giant's baseball game on Boosters' Day. Those will be shown every night, beginning Monday. "PERILS OF THUNDER MOUNTAIN" Mysterious Snow Serial of a Thousand Thrills Starts at the Booker Washington Theatre Next Thursday, May 29. Mystery mingled with the mystleam of the mountains. Known as Madre, of which the peak called Thunder stood even as a sentry among these giants. John Carr, millionaire miner, strangely disappeared on one of those almost supernaturally clear and crys talline days for which the region is noted, dropping over the brow of an ice precipice and out of sight. Stranger yet was it that he left a note referring to a will weighted down by a stone, at the top of this precipe. Why should a happy foster parent to the pride of the mining country, a vixen widely sought, and the possessor of untold wealth thus shuffle off apparently a suicide? Yet strangest of all was the will. He asked his two nephews to work the mine mainly for the benefit of charity. What a test this imposed on these two may be guessed. How did they meet it? And what was the secret behind it all. And why did a ghost haunt the hillsides shortly after John Carra's death—an earthbound spirit to guard the gold hoard in the hills of the decadent Croesus? At least such was the tale of miners, and it was given credence. This consuming enigma is propounded in the very first chapter of "Perils of Thunder Mountain," a 15-episode serial of mines and millions and a miss, starring Antonio Moreno and Carol Holloway, which will be seen at the Booker Washington Theatre next Thursday, May 29, and every Thursday for 15 weeks. It will thrill you through and through. It's great. Don't miss it. STORY OF GIRLHOOD IS "LITTLE WOMEN" Celebrated Alcott Novel to Be Seen in Picture Form at the Pehdleton Sunday. Louisa M.

Man Laughing In Upper Box Drops On them on Naval Officer. the treasurer of the Lexington Theatre, New York, where "The Smarter Set," headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, was presenting their latest musical comedy, "Darkest Americans," last week, has a set of teeth he'd like to return to the man who owns them. The owner sat in an upper box at the performance on Thursday night, and when Salem Tutt Whitney, the comedian, began cutting up on the stage, he laughed so hard that his teeth fell out and struck a naval officer in the second row on the arm. The naval officer subdued them and turned them in at the box office. It is believed that they belonged to a white-haired man who went to the box office later and tried to say something. However, all he could do was whistle, and the treasurer never did learn what he wanted. "The Smarter Set" with Salem Tutt Whitney and, J. Homer Tutt will appear at the Odeon Theatre for a week's engagement commencing Sunday night, June 1, with matinees Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Desperate fight scenes, starting climaxes; the frozen trail of Alaska in the dead of a raging storm-night; a man branded with the white hot barrel of his own gun; the Northwestern mounted police in action; the sensational raid in the City of Gold.

ONLY TWO CLASSES INTERESTED The convening of the present United States Congress is looked forward to with a deal of interest on the part of the people of the United States generally. The work of that body is momentus in that the welfare of the Nation for generations to come will largely depend upon its work. Evening of the present United States Congress, with a deal of interest on the part of the people generally. The work of that body is not a defense of the Nation for generations to come, in its work. A new day and a new order of things will come. And, while there will be many of the old ones there will be quite a few new members in this great law-making body. We speak of law and laws, we think of equal our laws are based upon the Divine law—"" There are only two classes of people in America that affect—The white and the colored. Custom all classes of people who make up this white except those who are classed as colored by this custom, enjoy all the benefits of the law by the same custom suffer the penalties of the United States, that matches the provision for every American citizen relied on in that it provides that the right to life protection of the law should not be denied. It contemplates that there are no private cause of the accident of birth, but a standard of what we call Democracy, which means equal responsibilities for all citizens. Nested. The men who caused to be put in formal words were wise in their day. None, put to work today. The men who make up our life only need a vision—vision that will call to a vision that will give them courage, and look the cold truth square in the face, and act have not done their duty, in that they have office in which each of them swear that the constitution of the United States; not to see men violate it daily and fail to raise protest; not to hide behind some grandfather law, not behind some custom of unwritten carry out, enforce in letter and spirit the Constitution. To All. The very first duty that should are consideration of the present congress is to regulation for proper protection of its citizen born law-abiding loyal citizens, from mob vengeance and injustices in the courts of the land. If they have done a great work. Then they can other questions affecting the people of other conscience clear that they are doing their duty that only two classes of citizens are affected—Colored—The White." This is a new day and a new order of things will confront this Congress. And, while there will be many of the old members in their seats, yet there will be quite a few new members who will take their places in this great law-making body. When we speak of law and laws, we think of equity and justice; because our laws are based upon the Divine law—"No respect of persons." There are only two classes of people in America that the laws of the land affect—The white and the colored. Customs have made it that all classes of people who make up this nation are classed as white except those who are classed as colored. The Whites, by this custom, enjoy all the benefits of the laws, while the colored by the same custom suffer the penalties of the laws. The Constitution of the United States, that matchless document, made ample provision for every American citizen regardless of race or creed, in that it provides that the right to life, property and equal protection of the law should not be denied, to any class of citizens. It contemplates that there are no privileged class merely because of the accident of birth, but a standard of citizenship is set—what we call Democracy, which means equal rights, equal duties and equal responsibilities for all citizens. A Vision Needed. The men who caused to be put into law those immortal words were wise in their day. None, perhaps like them are living today. The men who make up our law-making body of today only need a vision—vision that will call them out of themselves, a vision that will give them courage and backbone enough to look the cold truth square in the face, and acknowledge that they have not done their duty, in that they have not kept their oath of office in which each of them swore that they would support the constitution of the United States; not to walk along side of it and see men violate it daily and fail to raise their voice or finger in protest; not to hide behind some grandfather clause of some state law, not behind some custom of unwritten law, but to support, carry out, enforce in letter and spirit the Constitution of the United States. Justice To All. The very first duty that should arrest the attention and consideration of the present congress is to provide an appropriate legislation for proper protection of its citizens at home, yes, native form law-abiding loyal citizens, from mob violence. Jim Crowism and injustices in the courts of the land. If they do this, they shall have done a great work. Then they can grapple with the other questions affecting the people of other countries with a conscience clear that they are doing their duty at home, remembering that only two classes of citizens are affected by their acts. "The Colored—The White." THE ST. LOUIS INDEPENDENT NEWS the journalistic field of St. Louis has come the Louis Independent News, a weekly publication, young men, Messrs. Walter Lowe, Editor; Leo W. Silas Fearance, Sporting Editor and Advertising Manager, heading their ship as enterprise. They are young men, full of life, in initial number under the caption, "What other things mentioned is, 'we shall be in this publication will never belong to any party, printing news. Presuming that political power may well state here that if they are able to meet well and good. It surely requires us newspaper among the Colored people of this statement is based on our own experience and purpose is a valuable asset in making a mark in a community. I wish these young men much success. There are many battles for our race to be fought they will find their hands full. If the editors of this young publication being work, told the congregation at St. James at his publication was the only fearless New York in that it had an article on its front page that is dared not publish. We must confess that there anything on the front or any other page was worth while that we had any fears about it, we would advise this ambitious editor that we are poor foundations on which to build our work. We wish the St. Louis Independent News, the line of true journalism. Into the journalistic field of St. Louis has come the first issue of the St. Louis Independent News, a weekly publication with its corps of young men, Messrs. Walter Lowe, Editor; Lowie R. May, Associate; W. Silas Fearance, Sporting Editor and Wm. L. Mischeaux, Advertising Manager, heading their ship as they launch this new enterprise. They are young men, full of life, vigor and ambition. In their initial number under the caption, "What We Stand for" among other things mentioned is, "we shall be independent, in that this publication will never belong to any party," and "feearlessly" in printing news. Presuming that political party is referred to, we may well state here that if they are able to carry out these statements well and good. It surely requires an independent fearless newspaper among the Colored people of St. Louis to succeed. This statement is based on our own experience. Honesty of policy and purpose is a valuable asset in making a substantial newspaper in a community. We wish these young men much success. There is a broad field here. Many battles for our race to be fought. And, no doubt, they will find their hands full. One of the editors of this young publication being rather zealous of his work, told the congregation at St. James church last Sunday that his publication was the only fearless Negro paper in St. Louis, in that it had an article on its front page that the other two papers dared not publish. We must confess that we have failed to see anything on the front or any other page of their first issue that was worth while that we had any fears about publishing. Therefore, we would advise this ambitious editor that hammers and falsehoods are poor foundations on which to build a substantial newspaper. Again we wish the St. Louis Independent News much success along the line of true journalism.

The thing that has popularized the movement is the spirit of "Teddy" Roosevelt reflected in his son, Theodore, Jr. The future possibility of this organization for good and the best interest of this country is only limited by the spirit which shall dominate its future sessions. It is generally understood that among its cardinal principles are "True Americanism." If it sticks to that one point in spirit as well as in words, well and good, but if the promoters and those interested narrow its scope by injecting race prejudice into it, no grave is too deep in which to bury it. The people of the country have a deal of confidence in young Theodora Roosevelt because his father was an ideal American. And we are sure that the son will be no less true and patriotic than was his father. DEATHS of THE WEEK IN MEMORIAM.

THE HIGH COST OF BABIES Babies "come high" in some sections of the United States. A study of mothers and children just published by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor shows that in a homeschooling family of Montana, 463 mothers result of childbirth during the five years covered by the study. These deaths, taking in connection with the number of births, make a maternal death rate of 12.7 per thousand births—a rate nearly twice as high as that for the registration area of the United States which in turn is higher than for any ones of 15 European countries. In view of the knowledge that deaths in childbirth can be largely prevented by proper care before, during, and after childbirth, the death of eight mothers is significant. Information available for some of them eight indicating that they were approaching adequate prenatal care. Two of them did not have a doctor to attend them during confinement. In the case of a third, the physician, who lived 35 miles away, did not arrive until 24 hours after he was summoned. A fourth had to be taken to a hospital through roads, and died of exhaustion soon after her arrival. The lack of proper care sometimes results from inability to incur the expense, so heavy for homeesteaders stultifying to "prove up" on stubborn Wuestern claims. The parents of 1 baby out of of every 12 for whom information on cost was obtained spent $900 or more in connection with his entry into the world. Only about one out of the $350 cost a child attains, and many of these babies were ushered into the world by grandmothers or friendly neighbors, who clarified little or nothing for their services. Sometimes the family does not understand the need of skilled care, and frequently there is inability to secure it even when the family wants it. "We had planned to have a physician, but the snow was so bad it was impossible to send for him." My husband rode 12 miles in a bad snow storm for the doctor, but he was unable to get a doctor. Such statements were made by many mothers to the agents of the Children's Bureau. In the great area of 5,500 square miles there were only three registered physicians and not a single hospital. One hundred and four women went away to be confined at some place more convenient to doctor or hospital. Two-thirds of the mothers who remained at home had to meet the ordal of childbirth without competent medical advice. Unsafe physicians to care for 56 mothers and in the case of 30 other mothers the doctor arrived after the baby was born, but in time to be of some service.

It is given to a few schools to be a pioneer in education as Hampton has been a pioneer in education. General Armstrong, with the problem of fitting thousands of a backward Race for life and progress, conceived the possibility of uniting mental training with that of the hand in useful trade. It was especially adapted to the need he sought to satisfy. But the success of his successful practical result has been given application around the world.
