KLAN SECURES A WARRANT FOR EDITOR'S ARREST Imperial Official Files A Libel Suit Against California Eagle, Editor J. B. Bass Will Fight Case. LOS ANGELES, Calif. May 20. As results of its vigorous campaign against the insulting act and the K. Klux Klan, the California Eagle, one of the leading Race papers of California, published in Los Angeles, has been named as defendant in a criminal libel suit filed by the Klan under the sworn statement of G. W. Price, Imperial, Representative of the Ku Klux Klan for all California. The editor of the Eagle, Mr. J. B. Bass, was compelled to appear in the Chambers of Department Court No. 3 last Friday, where the complaint was read and he was released under bond to appear for a hearing this Saturday. The Eagle speaks of the Klans' suit as an attempt to throttle the press. Although the paper has holdily carried on an incessant fight against the evils of the klan, it was not until a week ago the "invisible empire" openly showed its teeth. The bass's organization seized to "strike back" on wage a letter published in the April 16th edition of the Eagle. The letter was supposedly a missive from the klan which a citizen had received and turned over to the police department, from which source it was secured and published by the Eagle. The editor of the Eagle immediately prepared to fight the suit, and to show that he was within the law in publishing the letter. Citizens Hear Editor The Eagle has not only been persistent in its publicity against the klan, but its representatives have been active in holding citizens meetings, at which the Klan has been condemned, and a call for more Americanism has been voiced. A capacity meeting gathered last week to hear an address by managing the Eagle which was requested by sympathizers with the paper; who wished to know, for themselves about the attempt to imprison Editor Bass for publishing one of the letters purported to be sent to Watt's voters by he Klan. Fight For Democracy Editor Bass, in voicing the sentiment of the paper in the suit, declared: "We ask no quarter from the Ku Klux Klan or any of its sympathizers. To it jail we must go for publishing without malice such propaganda as we, in common with all fair-minded citizens, believe to be prejudicial to good government, we can go with a smile and feel that we are rendering a greater service for the protection of society." In referring to a mass meeting held by the citizens of Watta, the editor stated: "We did not fail to pay our complements to the Ku Klux Klan. Our subject was 'Americanism', and we proved our case to the complete satisfaction of all present--that no people can excel the Colored Americans for 100 per cent Americanism."

FIVE SUMMER SCHOOLS FOR COLORED TEACHERS E. W. Baker, Correspondent JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. May 19— The summer schools are now a certainty. Five schools will be held, beginning June 8th and ending August 15th. The last Legislature appropriated $15,000 to establish these schools. The summer sessions will be held in the colored high school buildings in each of the five cities, and the respective Boards of Education will furnish the building and janitor services. The movement to assist the teachers in raising their grades is the very beginning. The rural schools have suffered from two causes: 1st, the grade of the teacher; 2nd, the pay of the teacher. The pay very, largely determines the grade. Of course, there has always been a number of conscientious teachers, well prepared, and who have continued in the service and who were destroys of increasing importance, preparing theirselves for the work. The Superintendent of Public Schools, Chas. A. Lee has seen the need of these schools, and has been using every means to give the teachers an opportunity to better quality themselves for the teaching profession. He, with the co-operation of his friends, has brought the schools within the reach of the asprant teacher, Supt. Lee, the sponsor of the Bill, announced today that he had appointed the following educators as conductors of the five schools for the colored teachers; J. E. Jones, of St. Joseph, at St. Joseph; B. "P. Bowles of St. Louis, at New Madrid; M. A. May of St. Charles, at Hammond; J. H. Purnell of St. Louis, at Capra Giardeau, and Victor S. Collins of Jefferson City, at Springfield. The plan to provide each of these schools with teachers is under consideration. The courses are set forth in the bulletins which are being sent out by the conductors and by the Department of Public Schools. RUTLEDGE. Teen.

SEEKS AID OF LABOR BODY ON NEGRO PROBLEM Warns American Federation Of Labor That It Must Show A More Democratic Spirit In Its Movements "The Negro must know that he is wanted within the ranks of the labor movement and efforts must be employed to get him in. The recalcitrant trade organizations must be shown the folly of their untenable position segregation, and discrimination." With this as the keynote of his remarks, T. Arnold Hill, Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the National Urban League, addressed the Executive Council of the American Federation of Labor in Washington. The newly elected President, William Green, who succeeded Samuel Gompers and the full memoir of the Negro labor movement of ten heads of internationalists were present. Calling attention to "the separability of the white and colored workers, Mr. Hill said: "Whatever is fair and profitable for our nation's workers is fair and profitable for Negro workers. What injures one injures the other. If white men must work for a liveable wage, then Negroes must have the same liveable wage. If white men receive high wages and Negroes do not, then sooner or later one will. What is true of wages is equally true of all the bene fits which labor is now receiving and may hereafter acquire." When told by members of the Council that the American Federation of Labor had for 40 years declared equal rights within the labor movement, Mr. Hill reminded them that organized labor claims that the Negroes broke the steel strike and would break others as they accumulate strength and confidence, unless they were made participants within labor's ranks. Continuing, he said: "More than 15 per cent. of the colored workers were engaged in manufacturing and mechanical pursuits in 1920 as compared with 12.6 in 1910 and in Chicago alone it is estimated that industrial workers increased from 27,000 in 1910 to 70,000 in 1920." The purpose of Mr. Hill's visit was to ask that the American Federation of Labor join with the league in formulating a program to increase the industrial integrity of the labor features and a more democratic stand on the part of labor organizations. This is one of the main objects of the National Urban League's new department of industrial relationship which Mr. Hill heads. STRIKE ENDS AT HOWARD WASHINGTON, D. C.

JUNIOR IDEAS Edited by LORETTA E. OWENS EDITOR'S NOTES WHY THE ROBIN'S BREAST IS RED (For the Smaller Kewpies) Robin Hood, a celebrated English outlaw, inhabited, with his followers, Shewood Forest, in Nottinghamshire and the woodlands of Barnshale in the injoining West Riding. One day Robin Hood and his chapain, Little John, had a bet on who was the best marksmann, in order to decide this, it was said that the first bird that came by they would short, and whoever was successful in bringing the bird to earth was the best marksmann. Soon after the decision, a bird flew directly over them and they (Robin Hood and Little John) both discharged their arrows about the same time. When the bird came to earth the end of Robin Hood's arrow was in its flesh, and blood ran freely from the wound. When the arrow point was removed from the bird, the blood was not washered off it, and since that day birds of that stock have woken a red breast. These birds became known as Robin in Redbreast (the Robin after Robin in Hood, and the Redbreast from the color of their breasts.) —SISTER SUSAN. A POEM I praise the name of Jesus, Because he set me free; I praise the name of Jesus, Wherever I may be. I praise Him in the highway, I praise the name of Jesus, Because He first loved me. In sin's deep pit of, Deprivation He sought me. In villages mar, I praise Him forever. In the wonderful realms above the sky, I shall see Jesus' face by and by. When the storm of life is over, And I tarry on earth no more, I want to see Jesus face to face. When the storm of life is o'er, Then I'll be on my journey home. To that celestial city. There I will praise God. Forever, more. — Submitted by Kewple Lloyd Norris GOSSIP Kewple Ima Sinims of 1602 Pine street, S. Louis, Mo. wishes to know why she doesn't receive any mail.

We buy large quantities of groceries and generally the most expensive from the grocer No, Mabel, I was not. However, I did go to see the parade. Were there very many businesses represented? To my regret, there were not very many, for the reason that there are not very many of our people in business. Why do they have "Trade Week," Auntie? To encourage trade among our people and to encourage the establishment of more business. All business places offer a special inducement to people to get more trade and you know Mabel, it is not half as necessary for the other group to encourage as it is for our group, because they are going to do it anyway. They make a way for the unborn and they know that "in money there is strength." Why is it that there are so few business places among us, Auntie? One reason is, that we do not give sufficient encouragement to those who are already doing business, and those among us, who have been formed enough to save a few dollars to fund the risk. There is something peculiar about us, Mabel. We accept almost anything from the other fellow but why? How exacting we are when dealing with our own folks. There is too large a number among us, who do not care to patronize each other, and if we do, we feel that the one doing business should feel highly honored to carry our name on the account book and whatever else he does, he must never give us a gentle reminder that a bill Pat—Did you ever understand a woman?

If a bank fails with our little earnings, we invariably say, "it is too bad," but when any of our, business places close doors, we hear, "didn't I tell you so." Never criticism of, but always sympathy for the other group who can re-open independent of our support or sympathy. We ourselves are the greatest, stumbling blocks in the road of progress. Mabel, this does not apply to all of us, because if it did, the few businesses we have would have to close doors, but it does apply to too large a number of us. We criticise because he doesn't do more and we fail to help him in what he is struggling to do. We are simply hard on the business man of our group and very insulting if the slightest mistake is made by him. I must stop here. Mabel, because I have consumed too much of your time.

In it he emphasized the need of an adequate history of the Negro with special reference to the theatrical group. In the lobby and illuminating story that he admits was prompted by the inadequacy of the speech upon the subject that had been delivered at a reckless dinner, he states "There are members of the Race who have set themselves up as diligent, and are seeking to arrogate to themselves in say they are well as who was with out regards to facts. To an investigator observer, it appears to be assuming authoritative roles without the necessary information." After mentioning a number of errors in communication and Lester says, "Let's give encouragement to, those who aspire to realize chronicle the steps of real encyclopedia." To this the Page says.

Defeats Louisville At Volley Ball The Varsity Volleyball Team ended a successful season last Friday evening by defeating the Louisville team at Louisville in one of the most thrilling matches ever staged in the Kentucky metropolis. It was a fight from the time the referees' whistle blew until St. Louis had safely tucked the third and deciding game safely tucked Fully two hundred spectators witnessed the game. Louisville, folks predominated, but there were many players in the heat who had to attend the celebrated Derby, and many tools advantage of this opportunity to see two championship volleyball teams in action. The opening liceps were: Louisville—Walls, Pickett, Dunn, Morris, Hammonds and Reed. — St. Louis—Key, Hancock, Tyler, Witte, E. L. Harris, Jr. and Woodson. The first game was all St. Louis, and it looked as though the Mid Western champions were going to have an easy time of it. The Chestnut Street team, however, rallied and by brilliant playing won the second and third games. Captain Hancock called his men together and substituted Williams and Craft, and the team won by a touchdown and captured and hard fighting Louisville team. It was a real match from then on. Louisville seemed to get all the breaks, but the visiting St. Louisans would not be beaten, and by tucking down won two straight games giving them the match. It was a crushing defeat to the home team and St. Louis can proudly boast of winning all the volleyball aggregations in this part of the country hustle. The St. Louis players had driven over, 350 miles, lost a night's sleep, and played on an understreet court on hostile grounds, but overcame all these inequalities, and brought the laceron back home. The scores of the game were: 1st—St. Louis 15, Louisville 8. 2nd—Louisville 15, St. Louis 12. 3rd—Louisville 15, St. Louis 11. 4th—St. Louis 15, Louisville 12. 5th—St. Louis 15, Louisville 11.

BASEBALL Champion Monarchs Win Series From The Stars The St. Louis Stars dropped three straight games to the Kansas City Monarchs, giving the champions of the universe a clean sweep of the series of games played Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Stars Park. The series was a success in only two points and that was the well attended games and the great interest shown in the outcome, although the contest went into the wrong column. A timely change in pitchers by Manager Mendez ensured the Monarchs got to Friday's game 8 to 0. The Stars had breezed on when Bell was on the bench in a most successful run. Saturday the Monarchs victimized Ross and batted him hard with runners in scoring position to take the contest by a 5 to 1 score. Rogan pitched Sunday's game and had a three hit edge over Davis, who slapped a masterful game but was the victim of bad breaks. The Champs took this contest 2 to 1. The Stars' batting mark took a deeded sham in two of the games, they making only 15 hits on Saturday and Sunday while they managed to connect for 12 blows in the opener. The team average for the three games was .266 as compared with a .225 average during the five games with Memphis. A steady increase in the batting pitchers should produce some interesting results when the Stars hurling stuff gets under way, which no doubt will after the pitchers had a normal. The pitchers had a hard time in the past series and Davis was the only hurler who went the route. Fridler's Game The opener on Friday was a real thriller and it took the Monarchs nine innings to cop the contest 8 to 6. The score was tied three times by the local team, once in the third at all three, again in the sixth at four all and in the eighth the Stars counted a pair to the contest at six all. Brewer started the game for the Monarchs and lasted only three innings after he had yielded eight hits and three runs. W. Bell finished the game and after hurling a hitless, runless fourth and fifth, was found for seven hits and three runs in the four remaining innings. Broyles, the Stars' new left hand acquisition, hurled a pair of injections and was touched for four hits and three runs. Davis then took up the burden and after pitching a hitless third was touched for one or more hits in each of six remaining innings. In the eighth and ninth he allowed two hits. Moore scoring Rogan with the winning run on his third hit of the afternoon, a one spot to center. The Stars made a brave stand in the ninth, but Bell bore down after men had reached first and third, and fanned Bello with tying runs on the bags for the final out. Kansas City ..... 210 010 623 - 8 12 St. Louis ..... 102 001 623 - 6 15 Batteries: Brooklyn Bell and Foreman: Broyles Davis and Barnes Saturday's Game Six double plays by the champion infield gave Kansas City the second game and Saved Butler's neck after he had walked eight batters; and Drake, the nee of the Monarch staff had to call on his support for three of these to pull him out of holes in Saturday's game. The Monarchs won 5 to 1. Inability to hit because of wildness on Butler's part coupled with hard luck and some inside baseball as well, enabled Drake to get by in the last three innings, coloured the Stars of any chance they had to over come the opposition lead. The lonely came in the fourth and was the result of two walks, a double and a single. The visitors scored in the first on a single, a sacrifice and another single, Johnston and Allen being the hitters. Another pair in the third for the Monarchs, the same combination prevailing. This time Sweet and McNair were the bludgeon weilders. In the fifth McNair again shone when he doubled with M ore and Allen on the gaths. Johnson was responsible for the fifth and final run, this in the sixth. With one man out Hawkins singled and reached third when Ross made an error after the double steal failed, and scored on Johnston's triple. Bell pitched the eighth and ninth and no hits or runs came in these two innings though he walked a man.

Sunday's · Game The best game of three was played on Sunday afternoon when the assembled fans shivered through a short contest which went nine innings in one hour and thirty-five minutes, but was keenly contested throughout, the Monarchs again taking the victory this time 2 to 1. Rogan, and Davis engaged in a thrilling match and at the end of the game, the team ing to the official score, had allowed but six hits while Davis had been touched for nine. This was not all, the Monarchs played their second errorless ball game, while the home talent had a poor day, and booed three plays, one of these in the fourth proved fatul and the winning run came across on Hawkins single after the side should have been retired. Both pitchers had a hard time in the third inning when they were touched for a righlly-hinged Johnson and St. Louis in the away to put Bullet Rogan over after he had walked. The counters with a run when they ganged Bogan for three hits and a run, Dozing the counting and Bobo driving in the tally. The Monarchs won the ball game in the fourth. Moore sided to center and reached second when Russell threw out McNair at first. Mothwell went out on a long fly to left. Foreman got a life on an infield 'bobble, which would have scored the third out, then Hawkins shaded more 'more' came pye with winning run.

Detroit Takes Three Straight From Chicago CHICAGO, May 20 - The Detroit Stars took three straight games from the Chicago American Giants and made Rubie's proteges look like anything but a pennant contender. Two famous St. Louis players, Hewitt, 39, base, and Kennard, catcher, are regulars on the Michigan pennant entry. After rain halted the opening encounter between the Detroit Stars and the American Giants, the visitors came through with flying colors Sunday and cleaned the Giants by a six to two score. Cooper getting the best of a pitcher's duel in the game which was marred by, chilled, northeast lagers. Stavens, Foster's newcomer, was topped up freely in the sixth and ninth frames. The winners came from behind to win. In the Giants' half of the opener, Gardner beat out a hit to Hewitt and took second on DeMoss' sacrifice, scoring on Gurley's single to center, Marsharler singled to right to start the home second, took second on Brown's out. Williams beat out a hit to Hewitt putting Marsharler on third. Williams stole second to the Detroit club playing out Marsharler, scoring on Hewitt 'throw out' Hines on a "squeeze play. Marsharler scoring but Williams was on Stevens rap to Hewitt when the latter got the ball to HAMPTON AND DUNBAR WIN IN HAMPTON'S MEET By P. Bernard Young, Jr. Hampton, Va., May 20. The fourth annual championship track and field meet, held by Hampton Institute on Armstrong Field, has never been approached in the history of Negro athletic competition. Nine intercollegiate athletic association records were sumshed, but of the 100 total, few fearless and unprecedented acti- tive two beams emerged victorious stream champions and relay winners. Hampton won the collegiate championship with 50 points and swept across the line 20 yards ahead of West Vir- gia Collegiate Institute and became the winner of the first leg on the bea- tiful Madame Walker collegiate relay trophy. In the scholastic division Dumbar High School of Washington, D.C., won a close victory over Bordentown for team championship honors with 32 points. In the relay, Bordentown and Dumbar settled the question of superiority when Dumbar ran to a new record and a convincing triumph. Roland Richardson, running under Dinibar's colors, was perhaps the real hero of the day, for he carried himself a place with the elite of track athletes when he negotiated the century dash in 9 9:10 seconds. Sriding with case and absolutely no lost motion, but smoothly and swiftly, Richardson leaped across the finish for his enviable 100 yard record and repeated in the 229 yard dash by turning in a mark of 22 seconds flat. Besides these two records set by Richardson there were four other C.I.A. A. standards to suffer effacement in the scholastic division and three in the collegiate division. One collegiate mark was equalled and one scholastic mark was set in a new event, the Tidewater Relay. Edward Hargrove of Hampton threw the javelin for a new record with a heave of 157 feet and 9 inches. Edward Taylor, whose throw last year of 149 feet, 9 inches, set a record, also passed his old mark when he sent the wooden shaft quivering through the air for a distance of 151 feet, 11 inches. The other two records simulated were also in the field division. J. L. Pierce of St. Paul put the 16 pound shot 37 feet 5 inches to better the old mark of 30 feet and 14 inches held by Johnson of Hampton, and Harris of West Virginia Collegiate Institute with 17 inches in force. The record held the bar in the pole vault at 10 feet 6 inches. Elmer Baker of Hampton also surpassed the old mark by 7 inches when he won second place in this event. Cooke of Union equaled the 100-yard mark of 10 and 1.5 seconds. Great Bases Pleniful. The 440 yard dash. "Defender Special," brought forth one of the best races of the afternoon. It was something of an upset. Herschel Falkener of Shaw University, ran a heady and courageous race to lead one of the fastest fields of quarter-millers ever gathered on Arnstrongfield. Junius T. Langton, who won the event last year and who holds the present record of 51 and 2.5 seconds, failed to place by setting too killing a race at the out. Falkener won at 51.4-5 seconds. Virginian Union, University, Hampton. Claflin University, West Virginia, St. Paul School, and Virginia Normal competed for the Madame Walker and Hampton opponents to the gold medals given to the winner and relay team. Five teams finished. Union team ended out when Booster fell, exhausted during the first lap. Hampton won at 3:435-4:40. On the team were Langston, Creedry and Preston. In The Field Of Athletics Robert Wallace and Bill Buckner the first arrival in Louisville for the 56-mile dirt track. Derby to be held tomorrow, Saturday, May 23, on the Hoosier Motor Speedway, turned the half mile dirt track in 21 and 32 min. An error gave Daniels a life in the sixth, Cooper walked. Jones scored both with a triple and Hewitt scored Jones before a man was out. Hewitt was caught off first. Williams tossed out Starnes and Wesley popped to De Mess. In the visitor's ninth Wesley singled and Kenyon singled. Both counted on Stevens' error on Pryor. Riggins sacrificed. Daniels singled scoring Pryor. Cooper hit into a double play. Score—Detroit . . . 000 003 003—6 0 3 616 Gilts . . . 110 000 000—2 6 1 Batteries: Cooper and Daniels Stevens and Hines. Monday Detroit started scoring in the first inning Monday and kept gaining, so that when Chicago put over a run in the fifth, the visitors had five. The game edged 7 to 4. Score—Detroit . . . 102 021 001—7 8 6 Giants . . . 102 012 010—4 8 6 Tuesday The Giants looked like winners in the third game Tuesday, sporting a score of 10-7 in the ninth. In this frame the visitors hammered out 5 runs and won 8 to 7. Score— Tiger Flowers, the Atlanta Negro middleweight fighter, won the referee's decision in a ten round bout with Pal Reed of Natch, Mass., at Boston last Monday. Flowers had the best of the argument all the way his speed and skill baffling the white boxer. No! His free offer has not been accepted. Al Brown, the sensational colored flyweight champion who has been out of the ring for several months, made his appearance in a bout with Domílio Pepe, the Commonwealth flembo in New York City last Saturday. Brown easily won the referee's decision in the six round bout. Eddie Flanks, the white boxer he was originally scheduled to fight, failed to show up. Black Bill, the Cuban flyweight slated on the same card, continued his taking ways, and hung up his fourth straight victory since entering the U. S. several months ago by outpointing Joe Dillon. The University of Michigan won a dual track meet from the University of Illinois for the first, time in 26 years, last Saturday, by just 4-13 points. It was not only a great triumph for the maze and blue, but for their star athlete, DeHart Hubbard, who was the main stay. Hubbard scored nine points by winning first place in the broad jump with a mighty leap of 25 feet, 1 inch out distancing his nearest opponent by nearly two feet, and second place in the hundred yard dash, which was won by a team mate, Wittman, in 102.5s. But for the heaviness of track due to my mother, Hubbard might have broken the world's record in the broad jump. Gus Moore, a 17-year-old pupil of DeWitt Clinton High School of Brooklyn, N. Y., is a sensation in the Public School, Athletic League. Since last January, the colored boy has won every race in which he has competed. He has stepped the mile in 4:32. On May 29 and 30, the greatest field and track meet of the year between college, athletes will be held at Franklin Field in Philadelphia united by the Association of Amateur Athletes of America.

WRIGLEY'S JUICY FRUIT CHEWING GUM SEALED TIGHT HEPT RIGHT "after every meal" Fit WRIGLEYS of the country's foremost athletes including many Olympic stars. This meet should be of especial interest to all of the Negroes of the country, for among the entrées will be their greatest athlete at the present time. DeHart Hubbard. It is significant for in this meet the greatest athlete is expected to compete in two events—the 100' yard dash and the broad jump. Hubbard has recently qualified the world's record in both of these events, and it is his fondest ambition to break the world's record of 25 feet. 6 inches in the latter before he lay inside the maize and blue of old Michigan which he has carried through to so many victories. This meet will be a good time for the mighty Hubbard to crown the closing of his college days with a leap that shall attach to his name a world's record title. He will be pressed on every hand by gruelling competition, but it may be anticipated that the marvelous athlete will give his best for his Race and his school, and that he will be set to make the biggest effort of his brilliant career.

A Banner Year for Baseball East and West, baseball this year is drawing to the largest crowds in the history of the game. From Hildale comes the report that a crowd bordering on 9,000 people witnessed the opening of the Darby clan, winners of the Eastern gonfalcon last year. Other clubs in the East had similarly large crowds In the West, Disunkies *Memphis* Sox played to a crowd numbering close to 20,000 in the three opening games in the Tennessee state—Birmingham, opening with Rube Foster and his American Giants in the steel metroglens of the south, played to a crowd which taxed the capacity of the park. Special ground rules had to be put into effect, owing to the size of the attendance. In Chicago last Sunday Rube Foster and his exotic American Giants, playing the Kansas City Monarchs, truly Monarchs of all that they survey is the baseball team, drew a crowd of more than 18,000 cash attendance, the largest crowd to ever invade Schorling Park True, these crowds are showing that the Negro is coming to the fore, not only as a baseball manne, but is patronizing his own, when he can be assured of seeing baseball of a brand on a pair with that which is played in in the white major leagues. It looks like a banner year for the owners of the teams, both cast and west. And men, with the sheen of a baseball uniform, are flocking in, interest in the leagues has increased ten-fold. The Negro is learning a valuable lesson from the Jews, although it is taking him rather a long time to get it through his cranium. If the other race fails to take you in. The Greatest Drawing Card in Baseball—The Grays The Homestead Grays, Pittsburgh—one winning hall club, and perhaps the greatest aggregation of professional Negro bull players ever gotten together outside of organized ranks, are the greatest drawing card in baseball, in the tri-state district. The club has played 15 games up to the present time, winning 14 and being held to a tie in the other contest. In these games, they have played to an attendance of close to 50,000 people. With a gnyak of stars, which would make the Pittsburgh Pirates step along live-to-heat them, with an air field, which is the greatest wonderful competition and hitting team, wonderful competition and hitting team, Charleston, Shively and Limonys, was discarded, with an infield headed by one of the greatest shortstops of the age, and with a pitching-staff which turns in wins in two three order with the consistency of a well-limed elock, the team is the realization of the dream crafty and shrewd "Cum" Posey, who, along with Charlie Welk, and are now running with it in its maturity, and are now running with it in its maturity. Negro fans who country over, have heard of this wonderful aggregation, and fans in every town where Negro or strong white clubs play, should pull for this club to make up for last year the 16 games, last year the 16 games, will do even better, if weather conditions hold out. What a record, what a monument for men to leave behind them. The name—Thom Homestead Grays—will never die. HOSPITAL FAMOUS WITH N Y, NEGROES, MUST CLOSE NEW YORK, May 13—Lincoln Hospital one of the city's early hospitals, dating back to the early forties, which has been ministering the the mobility of the sick of the race in South Boxx, and which has produced a large number of colored nurses, has been ordered closed because, of a shortage of funds and the refusal of the Board of Estimates and Appointment to transfer it to the city. The hospital, which is situated at 41st street and Concord avenue, treated 247 patients in wards in more than 30,000 outpatient at its hospital, and more than 500 patients responded to calls last month. The whole lower end of Bronx will be without hospital service for city patients when the Linnec Hospital discontinues operation.

CENTRAL 4698 Address*—-—- 2331 Market St, Tr Iswasterté complain than not. ck ae wate complain : PART TWO Segregation, Like Lynching, Must Go Associated Negro Press. Staff Correspondence Washington, D. C., May 20—The incident of segregation in Washington during the world-wide gathering of women, in which Miss Halle G. Brown emerged bring lasting honor and prestige to the race, renders the most important service to human progress that has occurred within a decade. The story of the incident or epoch has been told around the world, Literally, and even Washington is still talking. An analysis of conditions that brought this situation about may be regarded as timely: a mention of the Hallie Q. Brown background is not amiss. Miss Brown is one of the most notable women of the race. She comes from an illustrious family; all of whom have been an honor to the race. Her brother, the late Jere Jere, was a member of theosciature. The family home is in Wilberforce, Ohio, where Miss Brown's mother lived to be almost 100 years old. Miss Brown is one of the first graduates of Wilberforce University and taught there for many years. She has always been public spirited, has traveled all over the United States and in many parts of Europe, where she was always honored for her culture and attainments. Miss Brown last year had closed her law firm as President of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs. That Miss Brown was in position to speak representatively and effectively, is unquestioned. Segregation Began Under Taft. Segregation, as a menacing institution, began under President William Howard Taft, now Chief Justice of the United States. This fact has been repeatedly brought out in stories of the Associated Negro League and reached a sufficient rottenness under Woodrow Wilson: it has somewhat abated, but was not discontinued under President Harding, or as is evident, has not ceased under President Coolidge Washington, as capital of the nation, should set the example for the rest of the country, and does, very large. It is within easy memory of many when there was no challenging segregation in Washington. The government sets the example, the exact division of the city follows. Southern feeling has brought about the present conditions, alided by renegade Republicans of the north. Segregation as a system, is so naive seating to self-respecting people that it attires the deepest protests of the soul. New York, Chicago, and many other cities are examples of communities where there can be fair treatment in public places without anyone being unfair to people, much like Southern Americans. Colored America does not accept the dictum that "M is a white man's country" and proceeds to demand justice at all times and in all places. A Crisis Is Approaching Those with a vision, and even with conservative expression, declare there is a crisis in the matter of justice, justice and justice. A didactic service as a vehicle to convey the seriousness of the approach. White men and white women, in communication with courageous black men and black women must rise to the importance of the occasion, according to those in the know. There is no hesitation in saying that President Coolidge, above all others, should set the example. By setting his good New England foot down on segregation in the departments, it is maintained, whole food being fed to stopped all GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES WHO PRACTICE SEGREGATION OR AID IT, SHOULD BE DISCHARGED INSTANTER. It is maintained. It is further maintained that Senators or members of Congress who are holding office by the backing of colored votes, should be held to strict accountability in helping to enforce and exact justice. If they fall, the ballot should be used against them, it is declared gued that they are exceptions to that; that it is not a threat, but a mere statement of fact. If Washington sets the example, other parts of the country will cheerfully follow. The world is told that 400,000 former service men, and their families and friends, feel that American hyperplay in social and political justice should cease. Colored Americans have an enviable record of loyalty, but this loyalty cannot be expected to thrivethrough discrimination and prejudice declare these people, Segregation, like lynching, must go. Colored America is delicating with resounding voices that can be heard in all crevices of the Capitol and in all nooks' and' corners of the White House. The comment, we have received' on our editorial of last week which discussed the failure of the Negro curator of Lincoln University to defend it from the politicians, is all that we could ask. On every hand we are encamped. Nothing like this has ever before come under our observation. Generally when a Negro has played the traitor to his race in importance, his insistence of facts, have felt that as friends, they owed it to him to white-wash his actions. We have had two new race attitudes in this matter of Lincoln University. The first was the antitrust of indignation that the curators newly appealed by Gor. Baker, were paying his political debts with the pollsters and funds of that school. The protest, and the deficiencies that stained Jefferson City accepted any Watkins Of Kansas City Is Out For Elks Grand-Ruler THE NEW YORK TIMES Kansas: City, Mo., May 29—Theoron B. Watkins, of this city, has been entered by a group of friends in Elkdom for the position of Grand Exalted Ruler. The election will occur at the annual convention in Richmond, Va., in August. The Watkins backers have entered their candidate only after a thorough canvass of the country and in their opinion the "Show Me" candidate has better than a fighting chance. There will be a judicial candidate, including J. Finley Wilson of Washington, who is already serving his third term, and seeking fourth. There has been, for a number of years, sentiment in the convention favorable to one term and two at most. T. B. Watkins is one of the most substantial business men in the fraternal and business matters. Mr. Watkins is a native of Indiana, is 48 years old, and "came up from the bottom." in a business way, so to speak. He is strongly backed by the Midwest Lodge of this city and they plan to tell the world that Elkdom is honored by having the opportunity to consider such a candidate. While he is Past Master Ruler of his home lodge, and has been several times a delegate to the national convention, Mr. Watkins has never been an office seeker, say his friends. He is preparing a platform, since giving consent to having his name used, that promises to be one of the most militant ever presented by a candidate for any office. this universal condemnation of a Negro leader who fails his race, is also beyond our experience. They both go to prove that, a new Negro has arrived. There has never been any justification for exacerbating a leader who is not true to our cause. No matter in what relations he appears for us, it is a double advantage for him to be true, because he helps himself and he helps us. With a Negro it is not like a white man. Benedict Arnold could enjoy the best England had to give to one who served her. But a Negro rich, poor or what not, is a Negro still. His fortune and ours here in America are bound up together. C. G. Williams, curator of Lincoln University, doing the behest of the destroyers of that school's usefulness, is still a Negro who must undergo every limitation the rest of us suffer. It is that fact which makes treachery on the part of Negro leadership so utterly vile, and so beyond understanding, to be able to do that and do not help him. If the smiles of whites are so dear to his heart, or the pressing need of the price of abandoning us is so great, it is our great misfortune that he was, in the place where only a strong man should have been. But strong or weak, the Negroes of Missouri condemn him, and for the first time in our observation, are a unit in making known their determination to brand as unfaithful C. G. Williams, who put our interest below any other. * By Daniel W. Chase Associated Press Old Books Best Sellers—Book-sensations of the moment, after all, are not the real best sellers. Figures compiled by the publishers show that old timers like "Little Crusade," and the Dickons' novels are in reality the most popular even today, so far as the sales and library circulation are concerned in the United States. The people of "Robinson Crusade" have been sold in the last five years than were sold altogether in the first five years of its publication.

In other words, we have reached the time now when all elements are pulling together when not only petty jealousies between small communities have been set aside but when animosity and blicker between cities have been wiped out almost entirely, and one town to day is only too glad to help another. What Is Colored America Going To Do Politically! By Staff Correspondence Associated Negro Press Staff Correspondence Associated Negro Press. WASHINGTON, D.C., May 13—This is the third of a special series of stories by The Associated Negro Press, going into the "cold turkey" political relationship of Colored America, nationally. The position is so altogether weak and impossible, it is preposterous. Local political leaders—meaning those who in their respective states who are wrapped up in local politics—seldom have the national vision; national political leaders, if they have vision, seldom have influence; if they have vision, seldom have influence. But the time has come for somebody to have something, according to wide comment from many sections. Next year there is going to be another national election. Every member of Congress and thirty-two Senators are to be elected. What is Colored America going to do politically? The position has been taken that the race will never get a real hearing until there are again members of the group in the House and Senate. Then present political conditions—where the Republican party, in power, winks at the South ignoring the Constitution and the Constitution, they have an opposition—it is impossible for a Colored person to be elected from that section in which the majority live, they cannot even vote. Therefore the next member of Congress will have to come from a northern state, and a community in which the group has unquestioned political last year. New York nominated a Colored man, Dr. P. E. Roberts, on the Republican ticket, from one of the city districts. But the white Republicans, in their hypocritical folly, combined with the Democrats and returned the Democrat. Other communities where there is a possible chance for the new Colored member of the Democratic Philadelphia Detroit and St. Louis, Chicago, in the first district has Martin B. Madison, who plays the game cleverly enough to keep in with the Powerful Colored organization, although he had the hottest fight of his life the last time, from outside sources, and will have even a hotter time next year, it is predicted. Philadelphia is so overwhelmingly Republican that the organization does not have to think seriously of the congressional demand; people, but they lack sufficient national political organization; and St. Louis could replace Congressman Dover, if the Colored people could play "big time" politics. "It takes real out look, as well as outlay for the national game," said a bystander recently. Look At These Senators Now, here is a Senatorial situation worthy of greatest consideration. Of the eleven senators elected in 1925, twenty-five of them are now represented by Republicans. Five of the Senators come from the rock-ribbed Democratic, dit. franchising South, while asserts antithetics declare that the Democrats have a "fighting chance" in no less than two thirds of the states, now having those states the Colored vote in the thous practice, very rarely getting anything themselves. These runners sometimes pose as lawyers, carrying around blanket contracts for the victims to sign. Once getting the signatures, these runners peddle them to the highest bidder, and off they go with flying. coat tails to get another victim. factor. But, in the state* where the vote is a factor, what are the present Senators doing in behalf of their Colored constituents? What are the Colored citizens of these doing to get a hearing? Answering the first question, some of the eastern states are taken first. There is Massachusetts, at present represented by Senator William Butler, appointed for the unexpired term or Senator Lodge. Senator Butler is also Chairman of the Republican National Committee. He is regarded as fair and high minded, but has done nothing outstanding since last fall's election to make a direct appeal to the electorate. He is to be posed by Former Senator David L. Walsh, who, though a Democrat, has been so high minded in his fairness and friendship that he has always had a large racial following. The state of New York has Senator Wadsworth, woodyly and blue-blooded, who has a few racial followers, but does not have the masses with him, and has not especially sought them. It is stated that he may be opposed by Governor Al Smith, Democrat, who can name his Colored followers, as his whites, by the tens of thousands. In Pennsylvania Governor Pinchot may oppose Senator Pepper. Senator Pepper has been real statemanlike on big issues affecting our welfare, but he has not been a big gong. Gov. Pinchot who let practically all of the Colored appointees pass out of existence in their canon when he became governor, except James Auter, aged messenger, and faithful, has only a small group of racial admirers in the Keystone state. Trend In The Midde West Then comes the Middle West, the great center of the injust of migration from the South, where tens of thousands of Colored people not only came to enter into the industrial, business and commercial field, but brought with them, in total, millions of dollars which have invested in properties and business, thus adding materially to the economic wealth of the section. There are the states of Ohio, represented by Senator Willis; Indiana, by Senator Watson; Illinois, by Senator McKinley and a little to the South, Kentucky by Senator Ernst. Out of this entire group there seems to be only one who may be recorded as "all wool and a ward wide," so far as Colored America is concerned. That one is Senator Kinley of Illinois, but Senator Kinley has done little politically, up to the present; he left that largely to the late Senator McCormick, but personally there are many unmistakable instances of his justice and lofty statesmanship. He has proved to be far above peasant politics, and a visit to his office any day in the week will prove this. Senator Willis is a grand "grand stander," He can shake more hands, not more backs, call more people by their first names, and naturally to less than almost any other bursary. He has made no mention of his own role as Senator and does not adequately represent the state of Forker and Sherman and Ben Wade in the United States Senate—and this view representees whites as twelf as Sunkissed. It is even stated on well-found, mature white teeth and on foot in which Colored and white are trying to find a candidate to oppose Senator Willis. Senator Watson, of Indiana, assistant leader of the Senate on the Republican side, is a politician to the manor born. His interest in his Colored constitutions of Indiana has been only incidental, therefore, he has developed a strong opposition in his state from the group, which will respond to his efforts to overcome, if he hopes to return to the Senate—and he certainly does. Senator Watson has developed an amazing case of aloofness from his Color-constituted which is not regarded as a very good substitute for asturtiness. The senator points to the position of Col. Joseph R. Ward, officer in charge of the military, Tanker Ala, as one of his appointments. But Colored veterans in Indiana, those who are in practical politics, do not count this. Senator Ernest of Kentucky, who cannot be elected in that close state without Colorist voters, has seemed to forget that he has a constituency of this description. He has done nothing outstanding that can be pointed to with pride, affecting Colored people. While battles and wordlessly indifferent to many matters that have been brought to his attention What are the Colored voters going to do in all of these pivotal states, and others, where their votes are counted, and these very men will visit their churches, political clubs and otherwise appeal for their suffrage next state, and then state with a high degree of information that some of them are going to be very greatly surprised; they are going to find that politics of the present day is being played with "long memories," and that what the Colored voter demands is fair play. Being in state, so far as Colored America is concerned, will hardly be a "Mid Summer Night's Dream." TAKES 175 WORDS PER MINUTE IN SHORTHAND NEW YORK. May 29—In a slen- graphic contest held here, Clifford Walton Wheeler, a graduate of Tuske- guee Institute Commercial Dept. men, and city editor of the Nashville Globe, won over a field of 21 when he took dictation at 175 words per minute for 10 minutes. A prize of $250 was awarded. A white girl from N. Y. U. was second. A colored student from Briggs, third. SAYS AFRICANS WERE FIRST TO INVADE AMERICA BOSTON, Mass., May 13.—Prof. Leo Wiener of Harvard University, in a statement made recently, declared that Negroes from Africa had visited America long before Columbus ever set eyes on the western continent. Centuries before the intrepid navigator touched these shores, black men had crossed the Atlantic and landed on the American continent. Prof. Wiener, a teacher of languages, who speaks fluently twenty languages and understands sixty, stated that in his research work he had been able to trace similarity between the languages of the ancient Central American Indians and the Negroes of the ancient African midland. According to naval authorities, one of the most famous Negroes a Negro. He is also declared to have made his voyage by way of Africa. Prof. Wiener is at present engaged in writing a book. He has in his employment a colored girl artist, Miss Helen Smith of West Medford, a graduate of Boston Normal Art School, who is making illustrations for his publication. RACE OBTAINS BATHING BEACH IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, D. C., May 13. Through the persistent effort of the Washington Eagle, a prominent Race paper of the National Capital to secure a bathing beach for the colored citizens since the defeat of the Trial Basin Beach project in Congress, a site has at last been obtained on the west bank of the Patuxent Ripper, 30 miles from Washington. The beach will be known as Eagles Harbor. The beach is smooth and sandy and slopes off gently into the placid waters of the harbor. Good roads make it convenient for the Washingtonians to reach the beach. A Bungalow Colony and resort will be established on the beach. RACE CATHOLICS ERECTING $17,000 CHURCH IN FLA. FERNANBINA. Fla. May 13—The Colfeed Catholics have completed areangements for the erection of a $17,000 church building designed after the English style architecture on the northeast corner of Third and Calhoun streets. Mr. W. S. Rivers, a local architect, completed drawings and was awarded the contract on which work began immediately. It is planned to have the church building finished by the latter part of the year. The spot is one of the most scenic places in the city, offering for building of the type planned. Hollow tile and brick are being used in the construction. French Hero Lauds Negro As Asset In Military Power Associated Negro Press In a significant and illuminating contribution to "Seas and Colonies," a publication representing the French Maritime and Colonial League, General Mangin, one of France's outstanding World War heroes, and an authority on its military, in discussing his country's and other nations' employment of Colonels and African soldiers, traced the use of colored trump beginning before the Christian sex by Egypt and now by the European countries where the European countries were reported to have used at least six hundred thousand. His comment on the precedent established by Lincoln is accepted by some as a hint that Europeans give the Negro soldier of the Civil War perfed a large measure of responsibility in making the preservation of the Union possible through victory of the Northern armies of which they became a part to the extent of 300,000 men. General Mangin states: Record of Courage *Under Louis NV Marshall Saxe* had in his army a Negro brigade, which charged at Fontenoy. The army of the Antillies, which successfully defended Gandaula throughout the revolutionary wars, was composed almost entirely of blacks. Formed of its remnants, the royal African regiment, which served in the campaign in the kingdom of Nantes under the first Empire, was recruited from all the Negro elements which could be collected. In 1812 Murray led it to Russia, and it defended Danzig in 1812. Such troops have always been employed in the defense of the homeland. France raised native forces in all he colludes. Here Algerian tribalists fought in the Crimea, in Italy and in France during the campaign of p760. Since Senegal was occupied, France has conquered in Africa an empire larger Current Topics By ERNEST RICE McKINNEY Preston News Service THEY WALKED RIGHT OUT A miracle happened in Washington recently. Something that most of us have said could not happen. But it did happen. A group of Negro women were there to attend the sessions of the International Council of Women. Women were there from all over the civilized world, from the United States, United States, women were in the majority. They were running the affair. The foreign women were guests. Our own white women had charge of all arrangements as to programs, balls, receptions, and all the rest of it, including the seating arrangements. A group of Negro musicians—our very best—had been invited to give the program on a certain mug. They were there all ready to sing. They discovered that Negroes, their own people, mind you, had been segregated. That is the white women who run and manage the international Council of Women in this country had permitted someone to demonstrate to the foreign ladies just how we handle the race problem in this country. All of the Negro audience was all to itself alone. The program had been-arranged to show the foreign ladies just what America has contributed to. music. Evidently someone in charge decided that this was not enough to show the foreign ladies. They must be shown that democracy in these United States is confined to whites only. They must be shown also, just what the land of the free and the home of the brave has contributed to the god of hate, prejudice and bunk. But, the miracle happened. These Negro singers and musicians walked out. There was no program as far as they were concerned. This little group, by their actions, said to the United States and to the rest of the world that at last the American Negro is beginning to see terms of mass group action. This is the message that white America has striven against with might, main and flattery. All the hocus-pocus that the shrewd Nordic could think up and devise has been whispered to Negro leaders to get them to ward off just such an occurrence as this in Washington. Some Negroes will say that these Negroes missed an opportunity to show the whites just what we can do. This is tommyrot. The whites in this country know better than we, just what the Negro can do. The outstanding gain to us from this affair is, that this group of Negroes denied themselves the pleasure of applause, congratulation and that good feeling that comes to all of us when the world bows at our feet. It is this budding consciousness of kind, this young racial solidarity that should make us stop and think how we say that the Negroes did not do the weir and politic thing. I hope that more Negroes will decide to take the same attitude when the same situation confronts them at some future date. A recently returned traveler from the far east, broadcasted the information that there are 275,000 blacks in Tokyo, Japan. In all foligation there is a little variation of "imbarble the sea."

"There is a single president for each effort," Negro population of the United States, whose liberation was at stake in the war of a long time about freeing the slaves and especially about arming them. But the ex slave reinforcement of 500,000 men assured Northern victory. "At present, Northern Africa contributes to the French army 101,000 soldiers, of whom 26,000 are in France and 16,000 are on the Rhine. The interministerial commission of native recruiting has fixed the possibilities of normal recruitment at 230,000 men 120,000 from Northern Africa and 210,000 from the tropical countries." This testimony from an questioned European military expert is illuminating and should help the people in America to place a proper estimate on her loyal colored citizenship such as is not usually accrued. It will also perhaps hearten the colored people themselves on both sides of the ocean to realize the recognition of their power in this one direction. In further analysis, not only this type of contribution to a country, help in defense, important in war, but as a contribution in peace, in industry, in culture, in general progress and welfare may be emphasized. SUMMER CONFERENCES OF Y. W. C. A. PREPARING TO RECEIVE THOUSANDS NEW NORK, May 29.—Young women the country over, are preparing to enjoy the summer vacation with the largest outing groups of the land, the summer conferences of the National Y. W. C. A. During the hot months of the so-called vacation period, June, July and August, the "Y" summer conferences held in twelve states annually attract nearly 10,000 girls and young women. They are attended by girls and women from every walk of life. Since the majority are self-supporting, it is their vacation that many of them thus put to use. Summer conferences are ten day periods given over the study of world, religions, and personal problems affecting present day life. International issues, religious education, self-pondering over the future, what causes to choose and a general broadening of one's horizons groups. Rising bells ring early for attendance at the morning session, quickly followed by afternoon and evening sessions. In between there are outdoor events, hikes, picnics, and frolics. The predominating note for the entire ten days, however, is a serious outlook on life and the individual's responsibility in helping to make the world a better place. Prominent men and women, many of them well known elergemen and authors, or students of international affairs, are leaders. The opening conference for the summer will be in "the land of the sky" at Blue Ridge, N. C., June 5, to 15. This will be the Southern Student Conference, attracting hundreds of undergraduates. In all 37 conferences held in twelve states are scheduled. Miss Margaret Burton is national conference director, having headquarters at 500 Lexington Avenue, New York. $75,000 C. M. E.

THE LADY BEAUTIFUL By KATHRYN WILSON Author And Publisher of "The Successful Hairdresser" Questions pertaining to Beauty anywhere, if of general interest and not too long, will be answered by Miss Wilson in this column. When space will not permit and the subject is not suitable, letters will be personally answered, subject to proper limitations, and when a stamped envelope is enclosed. Address all communications to Miss Kathryn Wilson, The Associated Negro Press, 3423 Avenue Avenue, Chicago, Ill. Copyright 1925. "The Associated Negro Press." Many times since entering the profession of Beauty Culture, I have heard these expressions: "What will I do for my hair? It is dry. It is falling or it is turning gray. My face is oily and covered with pimples or blackheads." My eyes are sunken and grow smaller each day. My hands are hardened and my nails are not shapey. Where can I find a remedy?" The answer is this: The Lady Beautiful column has been added to this paper to render service to its readers. If you have puzzling conditions concerning your hair, face, hands and skin, we will help you remedy them. Everyone is troubled with such perplexities which oftimes interfere with their beauty, popularity and general disposition. If this is your plight, this column welcomes you to bring your troubles, before its editor. Her authority is unquestioned by those who lead in the profession as Beauty Culturists. Miss G. W. H. - You say, that you are troubled with large pores and blackheads. Medicated soap, applied and followed with hot towels, will soften your blackheads. After the blackheads have been removed, use a good astringent. Cold water or an ice pack makes the best astringent we know and after the blackheads have been removed, this astringent will greatly assist in closing the pores. If you are seriously troubled with these unsightly little plugs of dirt and oil, for in reality they are such, soad a self addressed letter to the editor and she will be able to help you. Alice—Everything in nature grows from the inside out, the fur of the animal, the blade of grass and likewise the hair on your head. The papilla from which the hair springs is the expansion of the nerve and the blood. Therefore, your appearance of baldness may require the services of a physician. Since your case is of such a nature, you had better explain it more fully and I may be able to help you. Miss Gertrude—Oh! yes. I heartily endorse massage, not only of the face and body but of the arms and neck as well.

This will keep the hands sft to touch, plible in action and beautiful to look upon. Z. M.—I agree with you absolutely. Facial massage is very beneficial if you know how to do it. It is of great benefit to tone up the muscles, to soothe the nerves and to pop up or stimulate the blood. You had best make a study of the muscles, nerves and arteries before you do too much facial work. C. E. J.—Do not allow your hair to grow dull and fade in color. It adds age to you far too rapidly.

Associated Negro Press Superstitions were prevalent in the early days of ancient Egypt. The apparently supernatural powers of the priests were usually withheld to force some important political measure, or to show that satisfaction of the gods on important occasions. Archaeologists have discovered the ruins of many ancient temples in which these acts were performed. In some of them tubes have been found to pass to various parts of the building. By speaking through these tubes a single voice could be heard through out the entire building. These means were used to show the worshippers the satisfaction of the particular god whose presence and help the priests were invoking. One of the most remarkable devices of these ancient priests consisted of a heavy pedestal with a figure. older than they really are TID-BITS SAVE "I owe my beauty to Hi-Ja Beauty preparations," says Miss Eater Bigeon, World's greatest singer and nationally known Beauty.

When paying tribute to the god or goddess the worshippers kindled a fire upon the altar and their prayers would be answered by wine flowing from the jug held by the figure. It is said that in ancient days, it was customary for worshippers to pour wine on sacrificial fires. This seemingly supernatural power of the priests was made possible only by the unique construction of the altar. Below the altar proper was a hollow compartment separated from the fire by a thin flooring. At its base was a reservoir for wine with a tube running up through the statue to the jug. When the fire was kindled the air would expand and force the wine up through the tube until it poured from the jug. The ancient Musselman regarded mals with intense delight. So strong was this plyasure that it often seemed a sin to the virtuous sons of the Prophet. / The first street lighting on record was in 1558, when people in Paris were ordered to place candles in front of their houses.
