The known dead, as a direct result of the storm, was reported to be 892 up to Wednesday, one week after the horrible disaster, and, at that time, the number was increasing almost hourly. Murphysboro, Illinois, seems to be the center of the storm, and it is in this city that many lives and much property were lost. More than 20 colored people are among the dead in that city as well as many thousand dollars worth of property destroyed. Most of the damage to Negro property was in the vicinity of 17th St. Among those whose homes were destroyed are: Mrs. A. C. Bolden, Mrs. Chas. DeJoy (lost 8 houses), Lee Brooks, Geo.

E. church of the Cairo district; Rev. D. A. Hershaw, of Quincy, Ill.; Rev. Wiley of Carbondale; Mrs. Laura Cooper, and Mrs. Annie Wilson of Carbondale; and Leroy Hunt of St. Louis.

E. church, which suffered only from having all windows blown out; and the Douglas school from which the roof was blown to a distance of several hundred feet. The basement of the A. M. E. church was used as a temporary morgue where the many dead bodies were taken for identification, etc. Several churches in St. Louis raised some money to help in the relief work The Street Y. M. C. A., and Knights of Pythias also raised funds for this cause. Mr. A. E. Malone of Poro College and a member of the Relief Committee, will receive any funds for the relief work in the stricken territory, and see that it reaches the proper channels for distribution.

The St. Louis Argus SENATE TURNS DOWN A FRIEND OF THE RACE SENATE TURNS DOWN A FRIEND OF THE RACE Lily Whites And Democrats Of South Fail To Confirm Warren, Who Was The President's Choice For Atty. General. Republican Boldly Fought Effort To Eliminate The Southern Colored Delegates From Republican Convention. Associate Negro Press WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25— The President of the United States has named John T. Sargent of Vermont for Attorney General, and the dignified United States Senate confirmed the Vermanter without a winker. The small town politics played by the Senate with reference to the confirmation of Mr. Warren is now a matter of history. There is a feature of it, however, that has never been made public, and explains one of the reasons why the Democrat, as a solid philanx, opposed Mr. Warren. President Coolidge it will be remembered, both in his inaugural address and in his last message to Congress, emphasized the importance of law enforcement, and he openly referred to Federal election in the South. It is a well known fact that Mr. Coolidge has given considerable thought to this subject. It actually grates on his soul to see the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments to the Constitution nullified by southern democrats who boast of their high regard for law, and who use everyasion to humiliate the Executive functions and prerogatives. It is a well known and established fact that Charles Beecher Warren is a Republican of the old school. It was he, on more than one occasion who boldly fought the lily white Republicans of the South, and successfully when they sought to eliminate colored delegates from Republican National Conventions. It is discussed here that it was, without question, the purpose of the President to call the attention of Mr. Warren to the election conditions in the South. This was whispered about the Democratic rooms, and is one of the prime reasons for the opposition against Mr. Warren, for he undoubtedly would have given personal attention to the conditions. "Out of Frying Fan Into Fire" President Coolidge, it seems, will have the last laugh, and hence the best laugh, after all. Attorney General Sargent has let it be known that he intends to enforce all laws and amendments. 'A movement is on foot to urge Mr. Sargent to appoint Mr. Warren to represent the government in a close investigation of election conditions in the South. 'This is exclusive information of the Associated Negro Press. A number of organizations throughout the country, including the "National" Hard Congress and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People have been urged to take active steps in bringing about this development. Friends of Mr. Warren; have stated that he would do the job thoroughly if he once undertakes it, and would bring out conditions with regard to elections in the South that would make the entire world set up and take notice. NEGROES ARE ORDERED FROM HOMES IN NORFOLK NORFOLK Va. Mar. 25. The sale of property to colored people in this city in the 1200 block of Corpus avenue a district restrict to whites, suited in the visit of a disorderly work of whites to the home of Mrs. Martha Reynolds, colored, who recently moved into the district, and the orders for her to move within twenty-four hours. Later a visit was made to the home of the realtor and he was commanded to cancel all outstanding agreements with Negroes for property on Copperpe avenue. The whites called themselves the Brumbikton Civic League. The district from which the Negroes were commanded to leave is only restricted through a pensive agreement. Although the part of the whites was absolutely lawful, the police offered little protection. The colored citizens decided to move to prevent trouble. Published In The Interest Of Colored People DAMAGE SUIT AGAINST MOB LAW LEADERS Woman Seeks Damages From Four Men, Leaders Of A Mob Which Lynched Her Brother Who Was Later Found Innocent. LITTLE ROCK, Ark. March 2 Dauage suits have been brought by Mrs. Mille Henry, of Malyeen, Arkansas against four new wives she and other witnesses saw among a mob which lynched her brook r. John Harrison, in 1922, for a crime of which he was afterwards found to be innocent. Mrs. Henry brought another suit, for nonfeasance, against the sheriff and his deputies, which suit was disallowed. The duage suit is soon to be heard. Mrs. Henry, an invalid, and the two children of John Harrison, whose mother is dead, whom her brother had supported, sold her home for $400 to pay her lawyer and afforded her to the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to help pay the balance of the cost of the case. Through Mr. Schoele A. Jones, the N. A. A. C. P. investigated her attorneys and helped to reduce the expenses from $700 to $250. The N. A. A. C. P. is concluding the $250 toward the expenses of the case which, if it was, it is felt, will help check lynching in Arkansas and other parts of the South.

Local Officers Are Indifferent.

It was a great day at Jefferson Innworks last Monday when a large crowd of visitors and friends of Samuel Copeland, gathered on the parade ground to witness the military ceremonies in connection with the presentation of the Distinguished Service Cross, which was awarded Copeland for extraordinary bravery under fire, in the Philippine Islands, 25 years ago. The citation showed that in December 1830, when the American forces, in the prosecution of the Philippine insurrection, found themselves at a great disadvantage, Copeland, then a private, volunteered, with five others of his company, to swim a river and secure rafts, which enabled them to rout the enemy at the peril of their own lives, as they were greatly outnumbered by the enemy. The weather was ideal, being characteristic of a spring day. All the troops in the berranks, together with their equipment, turned out, numbering about 1300. The artillery fired thirteen grenades to the occasion. Major, General George Duncan, commanding officer of the Seventh Corps, Area of Omana, Nebraska, conferred upon Samuel Copeland the Distinguished Service Cross after the citation for bravery had been read by Major Joseph Barton of Jefferson Innworks. The Citation Samuel Copeland, (Army S. S. r. No. R-819733) private, United States Army, retired, then Private, Company A, 24th Infanty, U. S. Army. For extraordinary heroism in action against Pilipino insurgents at Naguian, Lazao, Philippine Islands, December 7, 1897, when the command of which he was a member was held up in the crossing of Hito Grande de Cagayan, by rife fire from a well intrenched enemy and being without boats or rafts with which to erase. Private copeland, with five other members of his company, volunteered to swim the river. Displaying great calmness and with utter disgard for his company, he swam the river in the face of heavy riffle, returned on a raft, secured arms and ammunition. Crossed a second river and took part in an attack which drove a superior force of the enemy from their treches and the town occupied by them, thereby making possible the further advance of his company. Twenty-five Years Ago The incident which now comes, nly and attracts sb which attention at this time occurred 25 years ago. At that time "honorable mention" was puple of the leave desks done by Cipres and his five comrades. This mention was made a parry of the records of the War Department. After the class of the into World War there were many claimants for honors for distinguished service rendered. A Committee on Awards was, therefore appointed by the War Department to look into and award deserving persons of all wars, and finding such distinguished services rendered in the Philippines, though 21 years ago, the committee made the recommendation and the award was granted, hence the big demonstration at Jefferson Barrakes a few days ago. In giving an account of what happened on the day he won the honors, M. Cipres said: "We had advanced as far as we could on account of the river. A heavy gun fire was coming from across the river. We could awe the rafts, or bamboo boats, on the other side. When volunteers were asked for, to undertake to swim the river and bring the boats, I was the first to step out, followed by four others. I had little thought of danger at the time. All I thought of war service, believing that we could win if we could only get our men across the river, and we did." A Square Deal For Every Man POLITICAL ACTIVITIES Negroes Form An Executive Committee To Work With John Schmoll Among Colored Voters. Democratic Leaders Declare Igoe Will Give The Race Square Deal If Elected. The mayoralty campaign got pretty well under way in St. Louis this week. In the Republican ranks, among the Negroes, there seems to be a show drifting toward the Victor J. Miller band wagon. In an organized way, under the leadership of Cireuit Clerk John Schmidt, there has been what is known as an executive committee formed to assist Mr. Sphaltil in lining up the Negro vote for Mr. Miller. On this committee are: J. W. Chambers, chairman; Dr. J. T. Caston, R. F. Malone, Thos. J. R. Wilson, Robt. T. Scott, A. W. Lloyd, Ernest Patilio and S. E. Garner, Jeff Covington, who was also selected for this committee, refused to serve giving as his reason that he regarded the appointment of a white man to lead the Negroes in the campaign as a step backward in a political way. **Women's Committee** Mesdames Charlotte Davis, Ione Pearseo, Tillie Griffin, Carrie Tillman, Elizabeth Garreude, Gerrude Parris, Hattie Taylor, Florence G. Davis and Geo. Gatlin are the members of the women's committee. These committees, it is understood will make an organized effort to elect Mr. Miller. **Igoe Forces Organize** In this campaign, there has been a large number of colored people who have declared that they will not vote for or support Victor J. Miller for mayor. Geo. Geo. B. Vashon, speaking for the Negro Democratic Club, has this to say. The St. Louis Colored Democrat club has finally reached a decision in the matter of its activity in the present mayoralty campaign. The following executive officers of this club make this statement: "We are rather late getting forward in the campaign for which 'there is a reason', but right here we say, let no one think that any question of the fundamental democracy, superior ability, high character and stalwartness of Mr. Ignoe had to be answered before we came front. "Our organization considers race long before party in safeguarding what are our interests, and through the distractions of breaking and building machines, Democratic invasions of Republican primaries and the forming of monstrous, unholy alliances, and with the baneful murk of the noxious, Ku 'Klux Klan' hanging over it all—rumored to be here, and surely crawling there—we made certain of everything before we snake "Now speaking, we say with all confidence and emphasis, that the election of Wm. I. Igoe will be as wholesome to the colored people of St. Louis as the election of Mr. M. Smith as mayor of New York, and as was the election of Mr. Dever as mayor of Chicago, to the colored people of New York and to the colored people of Chicago. The election of Mr. Igoe will be the most stunning blow to the Ku Klux Klan that can be delivered, and it will undo the Jim Crow devitry of the only Jim Crowcity administration that has ever disgraced St. Louis, and it will not lessen one lot the representation, that our colored population enjoys, either in any decrease in the number of colored persons employed or in the dignity and prestige of any position filled by colored persons. "These declarations are not falsehoods we are broadcasting to seduce some to elect a ticket, they are the dead tidings of a way out of a suffragette morass, spoken in the certainty of truth to our base, insulted and impelled race in St. Louis. This pronouncement is made not only in the name of the St. Louis Colored Democratic Club (that cannot be charged with one untoward word or act throughout its thirteen years of existence) but it is endorsed as truthful to its last word by the personal word of honor of each of the undersigned." Geo. B. Vashon, John M. Batchman, N. A. Mitchell, Geo. W. Galian, H. J. Ridegay, Edward Origident, R. W. Watson, Wm. M. Hunt. WILLS ONE NIECE ESTATE BUT OTHER HOLDS DEEDS WILMINGTON, N. C., Mar. 25.—Two legal claims for the estate of a deceased uncle, Ned Gause—one made on the grounds of a will held by Harrih Cox, and one on the grounds of dads held by Ella Hargrave resulted in a rather complicated case here that could only be settled by a compromise. Mrs. Cox in her defense declared that the deeds held by Mrs. Hargrave were made out while the uncle, a centrarian, was mentally incapable, while Mrs. Hargrave declared she had expanded much money on her Uncle's property and was given the deed in return. It was agreed that the estate should be sold, Mrs. Hargraves expenitures refunded from the money and the rest divided between the two. Truth and frankness in business is a wonderful asset, but very rare. PAGE TWO Society AND LOCAL NOTES Mr. A. B. Garner, of So. 21st St. is able to be at work again.

The speaker of the evening was Lester Dyer, congressman of the 12th Missouri district.

Veteran's Hospital, may recall that among its patients was a fine young soldier who lay, or sat, absolutely helpless, paralyzed on both sides from the neck down. This young man was itobert James Kelley. In spite of his unfortunate condition he was hopeful, patient, cheerful, joyful and even eagler about his own and others' afflictions. On March 6th he was stricken with pneumonia and on the following Monday, March 5th, he passed away. Funeral services were held at the Russell Undertaking Company's chapel, the pastor of St. Elizabeth Catholic church, officiating. The body was lowered and the firing squad shot three volleys across the grave. While they were at "attention," and the pallet bearers at "satiate," the bugler stepped to the edge of the grave and sounded taps, the last taps for Comrade Kelley. To mourn his death are his grand parents, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Vaughn, his uncles, George Vaughn and Lucien Kelley, his aunt, Nancy Vaughn, his grand uncle, William Vaughn, his aunt, Mrs. Adeline Kelley, and other relatives; also a host of friends, chief among whom was Miss Rosetta Lassiter who cared for him during the last two or more mouths. TOM POWELL POST, NO. 77 Tom Powell Post No. 77 is steadily moving forward. Its membership drive is still going forward and a steady increase is noticeable. Among some of the new arrivals in the Post are many who can be depended upon to do real service both in the Post and to the community. The Post is in a better position to serve the veterans and the community - now than it has been for several years. Some real things of benefit to the group at large are being planned and the public is asked to co-operate with them in putting them over. Watch for the various announcements as they are issued from time to time. The Post welcomes the opportunity to be of service to any ex-serviceman, his relatives and the community at large. All Spanish War Veterans Meet us at our Camp Hall, 2338 Market Street, April 14, that we may plan for a larger organization to help needy comrades and their wives. We are growing older and need help. The little pension that we have came through the activities of the U. S. Spanish War camps and its workers. The organization is still fighting for better pension for us. Do not be a slacker by standing back and letting a few do the work, but join in and help. We further wish to meet the veterans of all American wars, and their auxiliaries to discuss plans for buying a hall or club house for the purpose of holding our meetings. Cent.

WHO SHOT MAN WHILE OUT OF MIND Joseph Haugstrom, Negro war veteran of 1111 & 1118 Gretwain, who also the Joseph Ebel of the United States Veterans Bureau, in the office at 1000 Montreal avenue, last January 24, was found guilty of assault to kill in circuit judge Taylor's court last week and sentenced to six months imprisonment. In spite of Haugstrom's fearful plea of nonimpartiality, madness due to strain and worry as his defense, and his army record, the jury was out only a short time before returning the verdict.

The brothers' summoned their mother, Mrs. Molle Smith of 3011 Gambrel street, who notified police.

CRUTCHFIELD, pseudofortune teller, claiming also to be a minister, was arrested as his home 2914 Morgan street, after complaining had been made than he was fleeing unsuspected persons out of various sums of money by means of the, ancient fortune telling farce. Policewoman Lillian Carter called at his office and after she had seated herself he asked her how much money she had, stating that the unusual information he could impart to her was worth $55. She stated that she could not pay that amount and she then reduced that price to $10, taking $2 as a part payment on that price. He then proceeded to tell her fortune in a few words, at the same time rubbing what he called "grassyard dust" in her hand. Policewoman Carter was then told to call later this week with the balance of the money for a more complete explanation of her future life, when she would be given a charm to wear next to her skin, which was do give her power all men.

PEOPLES Current Events Hello, Mabel. Hello, amtea you must have known that I was planning to ring you this morning. No, I did not, but I thought it was about time that you should be ringing to tell me the news. face and who knows how, to answer politely when asked a question start a business, and he will succeed. No one is willing to pay for growls and a sour face. The most successful business is the one where courtesy is shown. It is a real pleasure to deal I have no news, auntie, except to tell you of the wonderful talk given our class yesterday by one of our teachers. What was the subject of this talk, Mabel? "The subject was "Politeness." Very good subject, indeed, Mable, and I hope each of you children received something that will be beneficial to you, as you go out in the world. I am quite sure there was an urgent necessity for such a talk, and I regret that some grown people I know were not present. Surely, auntie, you are not acquainted with any grown person who needs a lecture on politeness? Yes, Mabel. I am acquainted with such persons. I know a man who operates a store in this city, who is badly in need of a lecture on "Common Politeness." I call it common politeness. Mabel, because it is the politeness that one expects to find in every business place, and the kind that should not be hard to find and still it is the kind one must look for now a days in order to find. Do you mean to say that anyone would attempt to do business who could not be polit to a customer? That is just what this man is doing. Mabel. How on earth does he expect to succeed, auntie? I doubt if he has given that a thought. As a rule, they never think until they have met failure face to face. Auntie, it is easy to imagine a child as impolite, but I can't just picture a grown person the same way. Offtimes, Mabel, it dates back to childhood. The child is not always responsible. Do you know there are homes where politeness is never practiced. Too often it is the case that parents are impolite to each other and the children grow up feeling, that the way mother and father act is the way they should act. When they become men and women, they continue. One has just as much success teaching an old man politeness as one has teaching an old animal new tricks. It must be taught in childhood. Mabel. Let the man who is not polite start in business, and quite naturally that goes into the business and the result is failure. On the other hand, let the man or woman who is polite, who knows how to greet people with a pleasant AUTHORIZED CAPITAL $500,000.00 UNDER STATE SUPERVISION HOME BUILDING & LOAN ASS'N of ST.

No one is willing to pay for growls and a sour face. The most successful business is the one where courtesy is shown. It is a real pleasure to deal with people who are courteous and one is not likely to make a second visit where it is lacking. Don't forget, Mabel, as you go through life, that it doesn't cost a thing to be polite, but you will find that it pays. Practice it with children as well as adults. Some people think it makes them appear smaller, but the only "real big" person is the one who is polite at all times.

THE PEOPLE'S PAPER PART TWO By ERNEST RICE MCKINNEY Preston News Service Negroes who read Hearst's, Saturday Evening Post, and other illustrated white magazines 'should take a look into our own new publication REFLEXUS. It will do them good and make them feel rather proud when they can read fiction in which Negro men and women are the heroes and heroeses. These stories are illustrated with pictures of Negroes and not a white face in evidence. And these Negro characters are not the monstrosities set forth by Octavius Roy Cohen in the Saturday Evening Post and elsewhere. REFLEXUS is a mighty fine publication to have around the house for our children to look at. It is fine for the youth as well as the old "darky" type who feels that everything worth while must be white. I don't know who is behind REFLEXUS, but it looks like Abbott, Overton and Gillespie, since it comes out of Chicago. The white Methodist church, North and South, seems destined to go thru the same kind of wrangling and controversy that featured the unification of the early Christian church, when the Easter and Western churches got together. The Methodist church in this country split over slavery, over the Negro. Now they feel that, slavery in far enough away and that the sentiment of the country is pretty well unified on the Negro question. That is, the whole country is pretty well decided that slavery was wrong. the Negro is not worth white folks being divided over. Therefore they feel that it is time that the church got together. I am of the opinion that when this coming together, is consummated the Negro will be crushed in the middle. it may mean the end of Negro bishops. The white Methodists of the South will probably feel that white bishops can best carry the gospel to the black heathen in Africa and incidentally get the money that goes with the job. Fisk University has been having some trouble on the inside. This is a modern development in the affairs of higher institutions of learning in this country. Usually, however, it is the instructors who make the trouble. It may be some teacher in a southern school who believes in evolution or that the Negro is a human being. It may be some instructor in a northern school who believes that foreigners have a right to express their opinion or to an unframed trial by an unframed jury. Any one of these men in either section is apt to get fired for holding such beliefs and expressing them. But the trouble at Fisk is between the Presidents and the students. There was a riot or a near riot and the President called out the police. The majority of the parents, alumni and general public seem to be on the side of the President because the "very foundation of our Government is law and order," as one gentman puts it. I have never looked upon these "United States" in just this light, but I suppose something of this kind was in somebody's mind around the year 1800. I feel that the trouble at Fisk is a little deeper than these surface disturbances would indicate. England had certain rules and regulations for the government of the Thirteen Colonies, but the colonists themselves did not seem to have much respect for "law and order" and the United States of America is the result of this disagreement. It is going to become increasingly difficult to run Negro colleges different from the way white colleges are run. The Student Council has come to be an integral part of higher educational institutions. Right or wrong, smoking and mixed dancing are a part of college life. There are many other things that have come in to college life in the last twenty-five years that the founders of those schools would frown on if they could know about them. I fear there is a tendency to operate Negro colleges differently from the way in which white colleges are operated. But it can't be done unless the Negro youth is actually different from the white youth. And nobody with good sense believes that he is. Training For Leadership 'Knowledge is power' according to Baron and must college administrators, teachers and other learned people. But this tells only half the story. Knowledge, to accomplish any purpose, must be specialized and specific. 'To pile up general knowledge may give breath and vision and', a general understanding of life, but it will accomplish little or nothing in solving specific problems in bushsa- this is evidenced by current happenings. We seem to be passing through a crisis more grave and more disastrous than any war. What is needed is a modern Moses—a man, who has been trained in leadership. A man courageous, strong, fearless, with a purpose; a man whose faith in things bigges faith. This leader, though, must be well informed; must be sympathetic; must know the field, having made a careful survey thereof. Character building, therefore, becomes the most important consideration in this training for leadership. These vital things concern all men and women; personal conduct, sex relations, relations of children to their parents, and those over them. There are so many strange things happen. ing both at home and abroad, and everywhere, notwithstanding the fact of saying that 'our cause is no different' and we need no separate and distinct leadership—there is a crying need of a strong man, a virile man, who will lead us. It is a sad thing, but we must have something that will disenchant us out of our present silly dreams. Speaking of dreams and leaders—Marcus Garvey would seem to be a peculiar type. He did succeed in getting together a large number of his kind, and in speaking of him and his work, the Philadelphia Evening Ledger, referring to him as the 'moving genius of the International'. Negro Improvement Association and the accepted leader of innumerable ambitious representatives of his race, said: 'He moved in a world of almost childlike faith and dreams.' But leadership of this sort is not the leadership that counts. A man to be a good leader must himself be a good follower, must blimself know conditions. Every enduring thing has had the elements of common sense and it is common sense on the part of the individual members of the race or a group to believe in a man of faith or vision, a man that is reliable, for positive assurances creates an emotional response. Leaders are wanted; trained leaders, men of thought and men of action—to take their rightful places in the world. "REACTIONARY AS TEN COMMANDMENTS" By William Pickens Associated Negro Press "I am as reactionary as the Tea Commandments," said Fayette Avery McKenzie of Fisk. And he thought he had made a great hit by this appeal to the Bible. He forgot that the Tea Commandments were written nearly 2,000 years ago, and that Jesus of Nazareth tried to revise them nearly 2,000 years ago. McKenzie is still far behind the procession and does not know that the best of all commandments is to do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But although McKenzie is some 3,000 years behind, he certainly knows what to do; that is, what to do to put himself furthest out of the respect of colored Americans. When he called in those "ceps," he could not have done better to attenuate the regard of colored people. If he had first held a three-day conference on the subject to determine the Best Ways to Means to make himself disliked. If we had been at such a conference, we certainly would have said: "Now, Mr. President, if you really want to make colored people know just who you are, and if you want to have a sure enough falling out with them, you just call in a good gang of these Southern policemen, who failed to protect a Negro child who was recently being lynched here; and you have these gallant policemen to come out to the institution and maul and cuss and bully and jail a few of these students, and I will give you my written guarantee that the job of waking up the Negro will be well done. Even those Negro editors, who at present profess to see good in all the other mistakes made by you, may be converted, if you will make this soup. Put the policemen on the children, sir, and you may even succeed in arousing the opposition of some of the belly-crawling Negroes who are at present pretending to like you, simply because they happen to dislike some colored man who is already opposed to you. Yes, sir, the biggest hit you can make will be with the clubs of Nashville redcensors." But it seems that McKenzie did not need any adveys. He knew just where to kick colored people to make them kick back. Perhaps that is the way in which he means to 'do unto others as he would have them do unto him.' NEW MEXICO PASSES SEPARATE SCHOOL ALBUQUERGUE, N. M. March 25. The long pending school segregation measure was passed in the state legislature here last week as an amendment to Senate Bill No. 95. The new amendment provides that pupils of African descent and pupils of Caucasian descent be taught in separate rooms, providing the acreondations for each, are the same. The Negro population of the state backed by the N. A. A. C. P., fought hard to defeat the measure. LIEUT. JULIAN GRANTED U. S. AVIATOR'S LICENSE NEW YORK. March 25.—Lieut. Herbert Julian, colored aviator, who has obtained distinction as a daredevil pilot in the U.S. N-Arm, as the results of a recent test, has received a United States Aviator's license. The certificate, awarded by the National Aeronautical Association of the United States, and signed by Ovielle Wright, builder of the first airplane, gives Lieut. Julian the highest fights as a flier in this country. In the test for his leisure, Lieut. Tollan had to stay in his machine for one hour at a height of 5000 feet. In ascending, he had to cut his engine tail N. a height of 2000 feet and land within 100 feet of a land mark. **WORLD'S BEST SYSTEM** Falling Dry, Thin Mair Easy latrine; $1 mn.; Sanguine coin, diplomas given, Special Crayon, Crystal $1.9, Man's Straight Claw, Claw Oil $1.25, not turned; Ranger Bump Lotion 60, $15 Boh Flags 80, Branches: St. Louis, Covington MME.

'FREEDMEN'S HOSPITAL TO INSTALL $5.000 RADIO WASHINGTON, D. C., March 25. The Freedman's Hospital is taking an active part in the Washington Radio Hospital Fund campaign to raise $40,000.

TID-BITS There is a mystery surrounding the fur seal which has never been solved. No one has ever been able to discover where they go in winter. No one has yet been able to make a record of their hiding place. All that is known is that on the islands of St. Paul and St. George, in Alaska, the seals begin to appear about the end of April or the first of May, and toward the latter part of August or in the first weeks of September, they disappear as strangely and mysteriously as they came. In this respect they are not less puzzling to scientists than the huge schools of tuna fish which appear and disappear from the waters of southern California regularly each year. Tuna fish have been caught, marked and turned loose, with the hope that some of them might be caught in other waters during the winter months, but so far none of them have been captured. A similar method of marking seals would do no good, for they are never seen during the winter months. Years ago the seals numbered 5,000,000 or more, where today they may be counted only up to four or five hundred thousand. Yet even in the days when they were most numerous, their habit of disappearing suddenly without leaving a trace of their whereabouts, and as suddenly reappearing after an absence of several months, was just as mysterious as it is today. Heretofore it has been impossible to tell the age of any fish with any degree of accuracy, but now they say by looking into the fish's ear one can tell its age. In the internal ear of the fish there is a little bony pocket. In this pocket there is a tiny store called an "otolith," which rolls about as the fish tips this way and that and helps him to know if it is right side up. As the fish grows older the otolith grows larger. And one can now tell from the size of the "ear stone" just how old the fish really is. The white ass of the Basasensis of the Arabian desert, big as a mule and creamy-white of hue, belongs to a class of its own. They are used exclusively on the draw-wells of the oasis and for the carrying of trade between Hufu and the coast. They are very efficient substitutes for camels, even over sand, provided that water is obtainable at reasonable intervals. The old saying, "A little bird told me," is said to have originated in early days when superstitious people paid considerable attention to the birds and their gries, which were believed to foretell events. Traces of this belief are to be found in the Old Testament, where verse 20, chapter 10, Ecclesiastes, speaks of, "for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter." There is a larger proportion of left-handed men than women. Investigations seemed to indicate that high intelligence is associated with a high degree of laterality or at least with stability not with ambidexterity.

Introduces Bill To Require Baby Footprints Associated Negro Press HARRISBURG, Pa., March 25. A maternity hospitals in this state, public and private, would be required to take foot and finger prints of babies born in their wards, under a bill introduced by Senator Max. Aron, of Philadelphia, in the Upper House here Tuesday. The bill requires that these foot and finger prints shall be made immediately upon the birth of the child, and that they shall be filed in chronological order with the names of the parents and other facts relating to the baby. Senator Aron is said to have introduced the bill at the instance of Judge Raymond MacNellie, of Philadelphia. The plan of Judge MacNellie was inspired by the recent case of the mystery boy, a three-year-old child claimed by two mothers, proved too much for the judge to decide after a long and ardent consideration.

FITTWATER, D.D., Dean of the Evening School, Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (@ 1983, Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for March 29 CLOSING PERIOD OF CHRIST'S MINISTRY—REVIEW DEVOTIONAL READING—Rev. 19:18. GOLDEN TENT—Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today and forever. He, 13:18. PRIMARY TOPIC—How Friends cared for Jesus and Paul. MINISTRY TOWARD helping the Missionaries by Our Gifts. INFERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Living Lessons From the Quarter. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Closing Scenes in Christ's Life. The lessons of the quarter have been so rich and full that perhaps the best method of review will be to summarize the outstanding teachings of the quarter. The following suggestions are offered: Lesson I—The so-called triumphal entry was the official presentation of Jesus of Nazareth to the Jewish nation as their Messiah. He was the predicted king coming in the name of the Lord (Psal. 118:26). Lesson II—Coming Judgment is absolutely certain. The Judgment portrayed in this lesson is that of the nations living on the earth when Jesus comes. The Judgment pronounced—reward or doom—will be on the ground of the attitude of the nations towards Jesus as expressed in their treatment of His brethren, the Jews. Lesson 41—Before Jesus went to the cross He instituted a memorial of His broken body and shed blood. This should be graffitely and strictly observed by believers until Christ come again. Lesson IV—Many are the trials through which the believer must pass as he goes through this life. The sure cure for "heart trouble" is the assurance that Jesus has gone to prepare a place in His Father's house, and will come again and receive His disciples to Himself. Lesson V—Jesus is the true wife and believers are the branches. Abiding in Him will result in fruitfulness, success in prayer, fellowship in the love-life of God, fulness of joy and love-life like that of God. Lesson VI—It is not the purpose of God that Christians should be taken out of the world at once when they believe on Christ because the world needs their influence and testimony. Christ needs them as His representatives and they need the trials of the world to strengthen the grace of God in their hearts. Those whom God has given to Christ are eternally, secure even though they must pass through great trials. Lesson VII—The agony of Gethsemane was due to the fact that Jesus was bearing the burden of the sins of the world. Lesson VIII—The heart of this lesson is that Christians should be obedient to civil authority because human government has been ordained of God. The more loyal the believer is to Jesus Christ, the more loyal he will be to rightly constituted authority (This lesson has no logical connection with the others of the quarter and should be omitted where time is limited). Lesson IX—Jesus Christ gave clear proof that He was the Messiah promised in the Scriptures, but the wicked nation rejected Him and chose a murderer instead. Both Pilate and the nation went down under the guilt of the rejection of Christ. Lesson X—Christ on the cross is the supreme expression of unselfish 'love, a revelation of the moral nature of the world, and stands as an exhibition of a cross section of the world in any generation. Lesson XI—Christ's resurrection is an absolute certainty. This questioned fact certifies that He is the divine Son through whom we get eternal life. Lesson XII—The various appearances of Jesus Christ after His burial demonstrate the reality of His regurrection, confirm the truthfulness of the scriptures and reveal Him as not only the supreme and grand center of the Scriptures, but the supreme interpreter of them. Goodness Outshines Genius Man is created for virtue. It is his supreme endeavour coupled with his capacity for alliance in God. Ever and as soon a trumpet sounds. From the hidden battlements of Eternity; sunnishing him to noble living. If he refuses to obey the simmons he sinks in the scent of being. "He surrenders manshood to accept animalism. The degree in which a man is striving after virtue and abject to the law of duty determines his real value "Goodness" says Emerson, "outshines genius, as the sun makes the electric light cast a shadow."—Key, R. P. Downes, J. L. D. God's Best Messages God sends his best messages to people who are faithful and brave—Presbyterian of the South. Song of the Stars All the stars of heaven sing the faith of Bethlehem.—Western Christian Advocate.

Stanley delivered last Sunday another one of his beautiful sermons, noted for its simple eloquence as well as for its deep spiritual insight. Text, John 1:4-5. It is quite easy to think of Christ as a good man who lived a good life and died. Christ is more alive today than ever, more influential. He is the light and the giver of light. I wonder if there are those among you who receiving this white light have had misgivings and hidden your light all these years so that it has gone cut without bringing tight where there was darkness or warmth where there was blighting, cold in the lives of your fellowmen?. Jagob having shown how to live a godly life on the day of his death summoned his sons to show them how to die. Next Sunday is Young People's Day. An interesting program is promised.

Rev. E. E. Trendwell - pastor; M. Rosen reporter GEREA PRESBYTERIAN March 20 is Passion Sunday. The name Passion Week comes down from very early time, because with it begins the special commemoration of Christ's passion. In our non-litur- cal churches, it is often incorrectly identified with Holy Week. We are concerned with the spiritual message of our Lord's Passion. **Friends are urged to attend. These services are a means of grace and growth. Sunday will be Decision day in the Sunday school. It is in a sense harvest time. This Jesus Christ so present in our schools as to lead the pupils to glad and public espousal of cause? The Citizens' School Board Committee whose aim is to keep the Board of Education out of politics, after careful consideration of the qualifications and record of each of the fifteen candidates lied for the five vacancies, suggests the following as the strongest and most efficient combination: For the six years term—Green, Lippincott, Mrs. Michael and Todd, and Rolls for the two year term. This is very important if we expect to advance the standing of out-school, or even keep it where it is. **Our sympathy is given Mr. and Mrs. Decatur Williams in the death of their dear infant son, Louis. Services were conducted in the home by the pastor. Interment was made in Washington Park cemetery Tuesday in m. The pastor also committed the body of McKinley. Holly at the same time. **First meeting of the Ladies Ald for the new year, Thursday, S.p. m. The closing year has set a high mark of service. What are the objectives for the new year? The church has paid its benevolence quota to each of the Boards. The task assigned for the new year is much greater. **- Miss M. B. Young, niece of Miss Julia Young, was received, on profession of faith. The one great task of the church is to bring men into a saving relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ. This noble aim sometimes becomes obscure in the dust and clamor of our labors and activities. Repentence and saving faith must be preached. We earnestly request that there be united intercession for a great blessing upon the services to be held the week before Easter. One more Sunday of this year, to close its accounts and joyfully respond to the appeal of the every member canvass.

Fields The balmy days of spring seem to be medicinal to the good people of Kirkwood, and this was demonstrated by the way the large numbers attended all of the services Sunday. This being our second quarterly meeting day, the Sunday school seemed to smallest new zeal and the pupils went from the room brimful of inspiration. The 11 a.m. service was all that we could expect.

Treadwell, pastor of St. Peters Chapel gave us another wonderful sermon from the subject, "The power of God" All the people are loud in their praises for the masterly way, this good man handled his discourse.

It has been postponed until April 9. *** Our quarterly meeting, surpassed all previous records for our church in its history, from every angle. It was the largest congregation and the largest collection ever taken at any quarterly meeting at this church. Too much credit can not be given to the high class loyal members and our good friends and the visiting ministers for their support. Now, when you want to see big things done in a big way, come to Olive Chapel. LANE TABERNACLE C. M. E. "Dust of the Earth" made 500 people sit-up and take notice at Lahoe Tabernacle C. M. E. church last Monday night. As presented by the Morning Star Sunday School Class it was the most entertaining drama that has been seen at the Euright Temple for sometime, or probably ever has been seen there—and that's saying much—but not too much.

Miss Margaret, Ball and Mr. Felix Davis kidnapped the evidence and ran right away with it. As "Nell," an orphan, Miss Ball sparkles brilliantly, and as her cousin, "Jerry," Mr. Davis bubbles over with fun. They were easily the stars of the play. Next came, Mr. Ollie Seets, as John Ryder, heir to a large estate, and the choice of two young ladies. Seets does his "stuff" in a slow apparently indifferent manner and it went big with the audience Monday night. Mrs. Samuel Washington, who is always winning in a "vampish" role, capably handles the part of Elizabeth. Nell's sarcastic female cousin Mr. P. E. Ross, as the minister, and Mr. Clarence Strayhorn, as the father could not have been better. There was just one hitch in the play Monday night, and that came about when Mrs. M. O. Bracy as "Arabella," the village newspaper, under her first appearance on the stage. The play was stopped completely and it was only in order to let it go on that the audience finally stopped laughing and cheering. "East Lynn," a drama in five acts comes up for inspection this Monday night, beginning thirty minutes after eight o'clock. The "Axis" will be out Sunday morning. He sure you get one, free.

Once my hair was anything but long and silky soft as it is now, and my complexion was as it were there, often unnigly dimples on my face. One day I heard of Exelento Quinine Pomade for the hair and purchased a jar. Almost immediately it stopped all dandruff, made my hair grow long, soft and fine, and gave it a delightful sheen. Because of the perfectly wonderful results I obtained from Exelento Quinine Pomade, I purchased a jar of Exelento Skin Beautifier. It changed my sallow complexion to a clear, lovely skin, glowing with health. For pimples and other skin blemishes, it has no equal. If I am as beautiful as people say, it is all due to Exelento preparations. Exelento Quinine Formade and Exelento Skin Beautifier may be obtained for only 25¢ at most drug stores, or will be sent by stapled upon receipt of price b / the EXELENTO MEDICINE CO., Atlanta, Ga.
