WAR ON MOTHS THAT HURT TREES Entomologists Outline Plan For Infected Area, Telling How Effective Work Can Be Done In Doing Away With the Insects and Preventing Further Damage Next Year. Washington. — The department of agriculture is making a special effort this fall to prevent the spread of gryps and brown tail moths. It is the purpose of the government experts to put into operation some effective means of reducing further damage to orchards and forests by these pests. In the areas infested by these pests much effective work can be done to reduce the damage that these insects are likely to cause the following year, according to entomologists of the department. The caterpillars of the brown tail moth spin webs in the fall which remain on the tips of the twigs and branches during the winter. These webs should be cut and burned so that injury will not be caused by the caterpillars the following summer. Particular attention should be given to webs of this insect on trees which grow round dwellings or in orchards. The apple, pear, cherry, oak and walnut among the trees which are favored by the brown tail moth caterpillars. In order to minimize the damage which is likely to result as much time as possible should Photo by American Press Association. SORRETTY HOVSTON, HEAD OF DEPARTMENT WHICH IS WARRING ON MOTHS. be devoted to cutting and burning worthless or seedling apple trees and wild cherry trees and brush. If this is done along the roadways and fences the appearance of the region will be greatly improved. Care should be taken to protect pine and other coniferous trees, and hickory and ash should not be cut. They are not favored for food either by the caterpillars of the gypsy moth or by those of the brown tail moth. A general cleanup such as has been mentioned will greatly assist in controlling this insect. The oak is a favored food of the brown tail moth and of the gypsy moth, and wherever it is possible to eliminate oaks less annoyance from these pests will be experienced. In cutting wood in the winter for purposes of fuel the farmer would do what select and cut trees which are favored by the trees in these insects, this way he will not lose access to the fuel which he desires, but will at the same time decrease the food supply of the pests mentioned. It is needless to say that in cutting wood for fuel all sickly or diseased trees should be selected, so that the stand that remains will be healthy and vigorous. Each owner must make the selection for himself, but a great deal can be accomplished by planning the work a little in advance so that the necessary amounts of fuel can be obtained, the preferred food plants of the trees selected, the number and the condition of the wood used. The gypsy moth occurs in the egg stage during the winter, and much valuable work can be done in bringing about its control by treating the egg masses with crescote applied with a brush. This destroys the eggs so that the next brood of caterpillars is reduced. For the information of residents of the district infested by the gypsy moth and the brown tail moth it should be noted that this area has been placed under quarantine by a horticultural board. Nursery stock of the plants cannot be shipped outside the area unless the trees or plants have been examined by an authorized inspector. Chick Swims to Flee From Dog. Alpharetta, Ga.—A bird dog ran after a frying size chicken and made it fly into Thomas Manning's fishing pond here. To the surprise of the lookers-on, when the chicken struck the water it swam easily and gracefully to shore, a distance of about forty feet Veteran, Seventy-five, Kicked Up Dirt While Being Laid at Rest. While Being Laid at Rest. Centralla, Mo. — James M. Hulen, who has just celebrated his seventy- fifth birthday, claims the distinction of being the only man who, after he was pronounced dead and had been killed, has survived. The Hulen was shot through the right eye with a 44 caliber bullet during the civil war. He was pronounced dead, was buried, and the cloods were rattling down into his grave when his foot kicked through the dirt. The burial was stopped and Hulen removed from the grave. The other dead were buried, and presently the gravediggers came back, expecting to find Hulen really dead by this time. But his heart was still heating, and he was sent to a hospital, and presently the gravediggers when Hulen was in the First Missouri brigade, Company G, under command of Colonel Cockrell. The brigade was at New Hope, Ga., attempting to cut off Sherman's march to the sea. WEARS HIS CARD ON BROW Mexican Has His Name and Address Tattooed on Forehead. San Francisco. "What's your name?" demanded Assistant District Attorney Becsey of a Mexican charged with vagrancy. The defendant brushed back his hair, but did not speak. Becsey repeated his question. Same response. Then the Spanish interpreter tried. The man pointed to a spot on his forehead. Becsey looked closely, and tattooed on the shirt. Now was, "Fred Harris, Sonora Mexico." "What's the idea?" asked Becsey. "I have heart disease. I may drop dead. I don't want my grave to be unmarked." the prisoner explained. Judge Brady dismissed him. BLIND, SHE SEWS MAIL BAGS Miss Maddox Sam Has Worked For Uncle Sam Twenty-six years. Washington.-Twenty-six years ago a blind woman asked Postmaster General John Wanamaker to give her a job sewing mail bags. “Mr. Wanamaker,” she said, “you give seeing people a two months’ trial. Will you give me that much time to prove I can do it?” He consented to give her a trial. She found Miss Hattie Maddox in the mail bag repair shop of the postoffice department busy with a pile of sacks reaching nearly to her shoulder. She is one of Uncle Sam’s best workers on mail-bags. ERROR GIVES SCARE TO NAVAL PAYMASTER Washington.—In making up the navy department estimates for the ensuing fiscal year enough enlisted men were overlooked to make an aggregate of $166,000. It caused not a little consternation in the office of the paymaster general of the navy. A board of four officers was appointed to go over the figures and locate the error, and it took them four days to do it. One year somebody overlooked all of the warrant officers assigned to duty in the engine rooms of our naval vessels. The amount involved on that occasion was $166,000. The error managed to pass undiscovered for a time. It finally got to the engine room crews, however, and they promptly announced that unless their salaries were included in the estimates instanter not an engine in the navy would turn over. It did not take the powers that be long to discover the error and correct it. The marvel to officials is that so few errors occur in making up the estimates, when the innumerable governmental activities are taken into consideration. Usually when the book of estimates is completed, the treasury department from the figures submitted by the several departments it is correct down to the smallest detail. SNAKES IN SCHOOL LOCKER Scare Girls, Who Now Pick Steps Because Some Escape. La Crose, Wis.-Normal school madmens are walking circumscytly since the discovery of a nest of so called water moccasins deposited in a locker by a reptilian mother evidently anxious to obtain education for her family. There was real excitement when the nest of small reptiles was discovered. With the opening of the locker the snakes darted out and about the floor, and there was a scramble. Some of the snakes met violent deaths, but several wriggled into holes of safety; hence the circumspection. Starts, Can't Stop Car. Fort City, Ind. Ind.

He laid the book of instructions open on the seat beside him and just as he turned into the highway a waffered away the book of instructions. He knew how to stop the car. Holcroft, carried on, shouting to be told how to stop. Halfway to town, however, he ran out of gasoline. SEVEN TEACHERS IN FAMILY Five Daughters and Two Sons Are Imparting Knowledge.

Chicago—Students and faculty of the University of Chicago are expecting much of Benjamin Perk of Indianapolis, Ind., thirteen years and four months, who has registered as a freshman. Perk was graduated last spring from the Indianapolis Manual Training high school and was awarded a scholarship at the university. He is enrolled in the junior college of philosophy. Perk follows in the footsteps of Harold Perk, who came from Indianapolis a year ago and of fifteen and has continued his remarkable record at the university. Perk is the youngest student ever matriculated at Chicago. POUNDS THE SPINE TO REDUCE LARGE HEART Contraction Usually Follows Quickly, Says Professor. Philadelphia — Enlargement of the heart—the "athletic heart"—may be reduced by simply tapping the spine with a hammer, according to Professor Meyer Solis-Cohen of this city. He described the treatment in the New York Medical Journal. Of course it should not be attempted save by a physician. The tapping should be done, he says, by pressing the proximal part of the cervical vertebra," which in every day English is the protruding vertebra in the spine at the bottom of the neck, a little above the shoulder line. To protect the spine from the direct shock of the blow Professor Solis-Cohen has usually used a rubber eraser or a piece of soft rubber or inoleum about six inches long, one and a half inches, and about a quarter of an inch thick. Putting this deadener against the spine at the point indicated, he gives a series of sharp and vigorous blows with an ordinary hammer that has a rubber tip or with a jeweler's hammer. In an emergency he lays his fingers on the spine and then beats the fingers with his fist. This exercise on the spine is usually followed, he says, by a contraction of the shoulder muscles, which latter is the big artifact that comes out of the top of the heart and supplies the entire body with blood. "I have been exciting this reflex," he says, "in many cases of dilated heart and aorta in both private and hospital practice. There were several failures. chiefly in children suffering from endocarditis (inflammation of the lining of the heart) and resulting myocarditis (inflammation of the tissues of the heart), with loss of compensation, conditions in which the heart and aorta finally failed to contract on conclusion. "In most cases the response was marked, a lateral contraction of over an inch being usual and of over two inches being not uncommon." Of the cases treated and used as examples of the success of the method eleven were male and five female. One was under ten years of age and four were under twenty. Six were over fifty, one being seventy. Sixty-two, She Wants Divorce.

GIRL'S MIND FAILS TO TELL OF CURE Paralytic Nor Parents Discover She Is Better. Bedridden and Speechless For Three Years After Fall, Now Curd Excepting Her Mind Fails to Register Fact. Los Angeles Teacher Led Her to Walk and Speak. Los Angeles.—One of the most remarkable cases known in medical history and one fraught with interest both to surgeons and to students of psychology has been called to the attention of scientists in this city. It is the case of Carolota Sausedo, a fifteen-year-old schoolgirl. For three years Carotola was considered a hopeless paralytic, who would never be able to speak or walk. She had been injured by a fall on her head from a swing when she was twelve years old. It is declared now by doctors and her teachers that whatever body or brain injuries she may have received from that fall have been absolutely outgrown and that she is perfectly normal physically and mentally, except that her mind has failed to register the fact of her recovery. In other words, according to the doctors, if the child's mind can be wakened to the fact that she has recovered from her fall she will be able to walk, talk and develop as other children do. Three weeks ago Carotola could not speak and could not walk alone, today she speaks with ease, walks without help and can even walk up and down the school stairs alone. Three years ago the little girl pitched from a swing to her head. She was picked up and stood on her feet. Instead of standing still she began to whirl round and round. She was entirely unable to stand still or to sit up. She was put to bed and pronounced a hopelessly unable to stand still or to sit up. She was put to bed and pronounced a hopelessly unable to stand still or to sit up. With the beginning of the present school term Miss Ettie Lee, one of the grammar school teachers, discovered the child. There were five other children in the family, all normal, and Miss Lee inquired into Carlaot's history. Securing medical examination, she learned that, whatever bodily injury may have caused by the fall, it no longer existed. "We cannot tell Carlaot she is not a cripple or sick, because her mind has to be wakened up gradually to that level." Lee said, but we are teaching her life skills in a special class at school, and her teacher invents little exercises and lessons for her. "She had to be almost carried to school. Her teacher made a small sand pile in the playground and many times a day took Carlaot she and helped her walk over it. Today Carlaot can walk up and down the school stairs." "When school opened she could not talk. Now she talks to us and knows what we say. She can count in English and Spanish and can write her own words. She usually bright before the fall, and I see no reason to suppose that she cannot be restored to her former condition. "She has been in bed for the greater part of the past three years, as the schools at Chino would not take her in. So while her body healed itself, apparently, her mind never recovered from the shock of the fall." Little Carlaotta was taken to the Parental-Teacher clinic for further examinations to verify the diagnosis of other doctors. If a similar report is made her special teachers will help have begun in their novel work of teaching the child's mind that her body is neither paralyzed nor injured in any way. OLDEST RED CROSS MEMBER Is Pointed Cap, Canadian Indian, Who at 108 Sends Portrait. Ottawa, Canada.—A novel picture has been received by Sir Robert Borden, the Canadian premier, and forwarded by him to the local Red Cross rooms. He has been invited to the Red Cross society in the world and at that a western Indian, Pointed Cap, who belongs to the File Hills Indian reserve in Saskatchewan. He will be 108 years old on Nov. 14 next. The establishment of a branch of the Red Cross society for these Indians in the province of Saskatchewan in the Dominion are interested in the war and eager to find a way of lending assistance, it is said. PROFESSOR LOST IN WILDS Wife Sails to Search Australia For Missing Entomologist. Berkeley, Cal.-Mrs. Genevieve Bridwell, wife of J. W. Bridwell, former entomologist at the University of California, is on her way to the antipodes into the wilds of Western Australia some months ago as the agent of the Hawaiian government in search of parasites to control insect pests. Professor Bridwell was last heard from when he sailed from Sydney, N. S., for ports on the west coast of Australia where he expected to proceed inland. DIVORCES WITHOUT JUDGE? Lawyers, Apparently, May Grant One in California. Los Angeles--Judges and lawyers learned with surprise that through an amended provision of the state constitution apparently any qualified attorney may grant a decree of divorce. This became known by the recent granting of three decrees in Santa Rosa by attorneys sitting as judges pro tempore after having been selected to try the actions of the litigants themselves without the sanction of the court. The modified amendment reads: "A case in the superior court may be tried by a judge pro tempore, who must be a member of the bar, agreed upon in writing by the parties litigant or their attorney of record and sworn to the cause, and the person so selected shall be empowered to his such capacity in all further proceedings in any suit or proceedings tried before him until the final determination thereof." The clause "approved by the court" has been omitted from the act. TALK OF BABIES JARS THEM. Spinsters Form Club to Avoid Chatter About Husbands. Sabeth, Kan.-An organization of spinsters has been formed in this town to save them from hearing talk about bables. "At the women's clubs," says Miss Georgia Hook, head of the spinsters, "all we hear is talk of bables and husbands of various kinds. Oh, you can掌握 the unintentional cruelty of it all." When we can we have in hearing talk of bables, bables, bables all the time? The small town never gives the proper chance for all girls to marry happily. Too many of our best young men go to the cities. As a result there are more marriage young women than young men." EATS PORK AT EVERY MEAL Hooier Farmer Says It Is Sweet Diet and Good For Longevity. Columbus, Ind.-Do you wish to live long and be strong? Then eat pork three times a day, says Samuel Reynolds, a farmer here, who seventy-five years carry a sack of grain with the best. Reynolds eats pork three times every day, and if he wishes a little snack of something between meals he eats a piece of pork. If he happens to need a bite of something before going to bed, he eats a piece of apple in his life, and he never tasted any sort of fruit, butter or jelly. TABLET FOR INDIAN FRIEND OF WHITES Seattle, Wash.-Professor Edward S. Meeny of the University of Washington is arousing public interest in the memory of old Chief Pat Kanim of the Snoqualmie and the Snoqualmie Indians. Chief Pat, a stanch friend of the early whites, is one of the forgotten heroes of pioneer days, and Professor Meeny wants his grave marked with a suitable inlay. In the days when settlers had reason to fear the red foes on the deep forests Chief Pat Kanim's people were powerful where Everett now stands. It is not known just when the chief died, but he was buried on a bank of the Snohomish river. When the war was threatened by the overflowing river relatives moved the remnants to the little cemetery on the Tahalp Indian reservation, where many of the tribes had resided in power now live in humble homes. Bancroft's "History of Washington" tells of the chief's craftiness in driving Glasgow and Rabbeson from the first settlement on Whidbey island in 1848. He made a great drive with dogs and secured sixty deer for a feast of assembled warriors. He counselled in favor of driving the white men out of the coast. Glasgow and Rabbeson went back to Tumwater, and the next year Pat Kanim led an assault on Fort Nisqually. While Pat Kanim was parleying inside the stockade his brother was killed leading an attack by the Indians. Pat Kanim was spared, and in 1850 he made a trip to San Francisco in a sailing vessel. What he saw on that journey and he resolved to become a leader of the white men. He faithfully lived up to that resolution for the rest of his life. MAKES MODEL OF HIS JAIL Prisoner Works For. Fun — Wouldn't Work For His Children. San Francisco. — Joseph Swanson, serving a term in the county jail for failure to provide for his children, has proved his ability to provide for them if he cared to try. Dinners in jail in he modelled a wooden replica of the building in which he is imprisoned with a saw, jackknife and a pot of glue. The windows are made of celluloid panes. Swanson has presented his model to Sherif Barnet, who has placed it in his collection of curiosities. She "Chwad? He Said. Huntsville, Va.—Francis M.

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. WILSON AND CABINET PRAYED Bishop Tells of Incident at White House—Informed by Senator. Indiana-polls.—How President Wilson went down on his knees and led his cabinet in prayer at a recent meeting was told here by Bishop William F. Anderson of Cincinnati at a session of the Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference. The United States senator told the bishop of the incident. The senator had heard it from one of the cabinet members who had prayed with the president. “When the president arrived at the cabinet meeting,” said Bishop Anderson, “his face was solemn. It was evident that serious affairs of the nation were on his mind. He said to the cabinet members: “I don't know whether you men believe in prayer or not. I do. Let us pray as they help of God.” “And right now, the president of the United States fell upon his knees, and the members of the cabinet did the same, and the president offered a prayer to God.” MAKE MUDHOLES FOR LIVING Missourians Cultivate Traps For Auto-ists, Official Charges Jefferson City, Mo.—That mudbolds in the road are carefully nurtured in many communities in Missouri by persons who find it profitable to pull automobiles out of them when they get stuck is charged by State Highway Commissioner Buffum in a road bulldozer. The issuance of this bulletin followed the action of a Callaway county farmer, who refused to pull the automobile of Mrs. James Houchin out of a creek bed until she gave him $25. THIRTEEN EXPLAINS DEFEAT Unlucky Number Was Also Aided by Killing Black Cat. California, Pa. — T. J. Underwood, comptroller of Washington county, ascribes to "thirteens" his defeat as candidate for sheriff at the primaries. In the first place his name, Tom J. Underwood, contains thirteen letters. The license number of his yellow campaign car is for Friday, Aug. 13, while riding in his sheriff's car another candidate now numbered among the also rans, he ran over and killed a black cat. The number of signers on Mr. Underwood's petition was 113. CAN RUN TRUCK FARM AND YET USE NO LAND Cleveland, O. J. A. Smith, manager of a drug store here, claims to have growing in his greenhouse healthy sweet corn planted in absorbent cotton which has been treated only with the proper chemical food the corn requires. In another greenhouse, he declares, he has tomatoes thriving in washed lake sand. Smith has worked on his discovery for seven years. He believes he has learned just what food each requires and in just what proportions to feed it nitrogen, potash and the other necessary chemicals. He claims to have a diet formula for almost every known plant and vegetable. Having made an analysis of the soil, he introduces the chemicals in which that soil is weak for the production of a give plant and kind of soil will do. Even chilens will need it for the soil in Mr. Smith's process to support the plant stalk just as a trellis supports the grapes or sweet peas. This is why, Mr. Smith contends, it is possible to grow plants in absorbent cotton. He merely saturates the cotton with a solution of the natural food for the plant it is intended to grow. He is negotiating with men who he declares are planning to mercialize his discovery. He would establish service stations in Cleveland and other cities. Does your lawn refuse to become green in a soil of hard clay? Send for Mr. Smith and let him put the grass on a diet. Do you own a greenhouse, and is it expensive to haul fertile soil from distance? Send for Mr. Smith. He'll send for it. It's easy, he says, with a smile, "when you know the food carvations need." RATTLER'S FANGS MISS HIM. Snake Strikes Negro's Overalls and Can't Get Loose. Jefferson City, Mo.—A negro farm hand cutting corn felt several sharp tugs at his overalls and thought he had become caught in brarians. Glancing over his shoulder, he saw a rattlesnake five feet long. Reaching around with his corn knife, he managed to sever the snake just back of the head. The snake had buried its curved fangs, nearly an inch in length, in the slack of the negro's overalls and could not disengage them. At 11th-hour Drives 400 Miles. Glen Eastard, W. Ve.—George W. Grant, eighty-three years old, drive 400 miles with a thirty-six-year- old horse from here to Wilmington, Del, has returned to this city by rail. It required sixty-one days to make the drive. Mr. Grant drove to Dela- ware to his children, whom he had not seen in forty-six years. $2.40 PER YEAR CONVERT CHINESE TO AID SUFFRAGE BANNER WARMLY GREETED. Goss From House to House Telling Alien Inhabitants of Equality For Men and Women—One Chinese Voter Declares He Would Like Wife to Be an American Citizen. New York.—Miss Lavinia Dock of the Henry street nurses' settlement has undertaken to convert Chinatown to suffrage with Chinese flags. The psychology of the flag is an interesting study. It is hard at times to pierce the apathy, the stolidity of the alien inhabitants of a great city like New York and to arouse among them an interest in a cause not primarily and originally their own. But there is one universal, never failing method—and that is to use the flags of those foreign lands whence they come. So Miss Dock unfurls a beautiful white silk Chinese banner bearing the votes for women message on both sides. A kindly missionary man and a cultured Chinese doctor help make the banner, which is attached to its standard by gay ribbons of old rose, light blue Photo by American Press Association. MISS LAVINIA DOCK. and bright yellow, these with black and white being the colors of the new Chinese flag. Flag in hand, the suffragists go out into the highways and byways with their message of equal political rights and responsibilities for men and women. "First class," said a smiling, peppery woman looking Chinaman in well cut American clothes as he greeted the suffrage banner. "First class, I believe in that," he repeated, and other Chinamen smilingly nodded assent. As the banner moves on pleased nods and bows greet its progress. Into a dark doorway and up the stairs marches Miss Dock, holding her suffrage banner before her. "Our nurses come here often to look after the children," she continues. Through a crowded kitchen and into a room in the front of the house she marched. "May we come in?" asked Miss Dock. "A guttural sound signified assent. A young woman with a much embroidered and solemn baby looking like an infant mandarin sat at one end of a table between the windows. At the other window sat an older woman sewing. Both women wore costumes. Neither could wear old clothes. The younger woman went out of the room, embroidered, bringing her sister, a girl of fifteen, who goes to high school. She listened to Miss Dock a moment and then a smile broke out all over her face. Yes, indeed, she knew about the suffrage campaign, and she believed in votes for women. Then she turned and spoke rapidly to her mother and sister-in-law. Immediately their faces changed, the women became beamed upon the callers. They too, believed in votes for women; yes, indeed, and so did their husbands. Out on the street again and up into another house marched the Chinese banner with its message of equality for men and women. Here was a Chinese woman of high degree. Heirress to all the traditions of old China, nevertheless she set to meet and the promise of the years to come she believed in equal suffrage. To be sure, as Miss Dock explains, there are not so very many registered voters in Chinatown, but even though they be but few they are going to receive the message. They are interested in it too. One full blooded Chinese voter born in this country expresses the new ideal for women to press it: "I would like my wife to be a citizen." Bee Sting Got in Her Toniell. Kingman, Ind., Mrs. Edward Death was the victim of an unusual accident when she was stung by a bee which she swallowed when eating grapes. The insect in its eagerness to suck out the pulp of the grapes had crawled inside the skin and was not discovered before it objected to being made a Jonah stinger in one of the tomsils in her throat. The tomsil swelled badly, and the services of a physician were required to remove the stinger. HAVE YOU READ THE APPEAL? THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J.

ANENT "THE BIRTH OF A NATION." The splendid effort which was made by the people of the Twin Cities to stop the showing of the pictures labeled "The Birth of a Nation," in St. Paul, while not so successful as was desired, may be considered something of a victory for us; but, if nothing more had been accomplished than the calling forth of the helpful, inspiring editorial that appeared in the Pioneer Press Thursday morning, our fight would have been pre-eminently successful. The editorial in question which was inspired by the logic and eloquence of Lawyer B. S. Smith of Minneapolis, is as follow: A CHAMPION WORTH WHILE: "If the Negroes who opposed the presentation of 'The Birth of a Nation' so strongly felt it incumbent on them to offer proof to the public that their race has progressed since the period covered by the much-discussed film play, they would need to seek no farther than Brown S. Smith, the Negro attorney whose masterful appeal won for them the partial victory which was granted by the City Council on Wednesday. "Though surrounded by several well educated, cultured men of his own race, Mr. Smith towered above them all by the force of his unique personality and the wonderful eloquence of THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silent protest makes co The human race h test.

He spoke for nearly an hour to an audience which contained many who opposed his proposals most strongly, but he held the absolute attention of every listener. As he made his points, rounding them out with a touch of humor or pathos, or a burst of eloquence, he swayed and converted many of his auditors who had entered the council chamber with their minds set in favor of his opponents. "There was more than the appeal of one man in his speech. Listening to his remarkable flow of words, the impartial hearer was forced to the conclusion that here was the sincere appeal of a race of men and women, with the same pride in accomplishment, the same depth of feeling, the same earnest desire to progress, that the white race possesses. His flashes of humor softened the sting of his sarcasm and served to drive home his points. His features reflected every emotion of his brain; his expressive eyes twinkled with merriment at times and glowed with fervor at others. His choice of words and his knowledge of the tricks of elocution proclaimed him a finished orator. "Aside from the merits of either side of the argument in which this man participated, his part in the real-life drama was an unanswerable argument in refutation of the theory, which even now finds exponents, that education and enlightenment are bad for his race." The contention over the showing of "The Birth of a Nation" brought out some splendid letters to the Dispatch "Mall Bag" by both colored and white people. It pays to agitate. TROUBLE FOR HYPHENISM From all parts of the country information is coming that true Americans intend to fight hyphenism. A national organization of American citizens of foreign birth or parentage to discourage "hyphenated Americanism" has been formed in New York. Twenty-four persons, who responded to a circular distributed by a committee headed by William Lustgarten, formed themselves into a provisional committee to encourage the fight on dual citizenship. A letter from Col. Roosevelt to Mr. Lustgarten was read at this meeting. It said in part: "I welcome the work of your society in working against the most sinister and evil of all movements which would tend to destroy our national unity and to split us into a tangle of warring German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans and Scandinavian-Americans. You and I are fellow Americans—just plain, straight out, ordinary Americans." The Christian Register has this to say on hyphenism: Why do we tolerate hyphens in the names we give to our several groups and classes? A hyphen is a danger signal in this country—sometimes it is even a peril. Why not allow a man three years in which to get the hyphen out of his system, then test him by an oath or a choice of flags, and then amputate the hyphen or else send the man back home? We have the means of transportation—see all those interned German ships? A hundred million dollars' worth of them! And the Thomas Cook agencies idle! The situation has suggestive points. Where is our Elijah who will say to these hyphenes, "If the Lord be God, follow him; but if Baal, then follow him?" THE ONLY SOLUTION.

Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1907 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sldney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies," he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. "Were race differentiation held to it must increase civil discord. The balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." THE COLORED MAN'S STAND ARDS. The Christian Register, the leading Unitarian publication of the country, prints so excellent an article on colored man's own standards that we are constrained to print extracts from it. "White men have set standards for the colored man for many years. During slavery days the standard was mainly one of health and strength, a "good disposition" was also esible; a "bad nigger" was harder to sell than one who would make no trouble. 'Raken altogether the standard of antebellum days for colored men was much the same as that for horses,—" "warranted sound and kind," and all the rest. During the war, with the splendid record of black men as soldiers, the standard held up for them by the white man shifted, though only slightly. After the war, and after the Fifteenth Amendment began to operate, the white man gradually altered his expectation of what the black could be and ought to be. Whites diffeer greatly to-day, both North and South, upon this question; as a rule, the more civilized the white man the reader he is, in judging the colored man, to see his great possibilities and his remarkable progress, as already shown. The subtler problem, and more vital to the colored people, is regarding the race's standards for itself in the various arts of civilization. And his most serious obstacle is—not the injustice of his white neighbors, evt. who in the con- ge of his duty dares the world, with ignor- gment, may con- nances of relatives and the hearts of but the sense of sweeter than the world, the counten- . dent and regrettable as that is, but the danger he continues incurs of holding up low standards of attainment for himself. If he is to compete with the white man in business, manufactures, arts, scholarship, and other pursuits, he must hold himself up to as high a standard of excellence as does the white man. As a rule, colored people who don't quite come up to this; they have the faults of their qualities; they have the difficulty satisfied with attainment which is distinctly second-rate in the world's Bradstreet. The colored musician, or painter, or artisan, or writer is too apt to measure himself by the many below him in skill instead of keeping his eye fixed on the few who surpass him. For this reason it is good for a colored boy or girl to attend a school or college which white boys and girls attend. Well-meaning friends of the people have pitched such pupils of mixed schools and academies because of the many slights put upon them by careless or unfeeling white schoolmates; but people who see more deeply into the real problems of the colored race believe that it is better for such affronted young people to undergo the affronts and to remain in the keen atmosphere of white standards of custom, costume, and scholarship than to live in a mild atmosphere of half-attainment, among brothers and sisters of their own race, all alike half blindly groping their slow way out of the darkness. Better that a colored boy should bear whatever slights are put upon him by certain narrow, selfish, white boys at Yale or Harvard than to drift comfortably along in some Negro school which has not got itself as yet squared to the world standards, in a world where white men rule." THE HYPHENATED AMERICAN: Oswald Garrison Villard's recent speech against hyphenated Americanism was a telling one. Mr. Villard was himself born on German soil and of a German father, yet he is amazed at the divided citizenship of some Americans of German ancestry. He referred to Carl Schurz, and his true Americanism and said "What would amaze him more than to find unnumbered Germans who, like himself, come to this country to escape the very militaristic autocracy they now uphold, today, denouncing the nation that adopted and sheltered and fed and clothed them." Other races have shown strong tendencies to form distinct bodies. Mr. Villard said, but the German propaganda is, so far, the most extensive. He then asked if it were true, as contended, that the German Kultur and political system were superior to the scheme of life and government in America, why the hordes who have there did not go to Germany instead. Mr. Villard said, that to allow nationalistic groups to develop in this country such as they have in Austria-Hungary would be most disastrous. He said, such a proposal was "unthinkable to a true minded American." For many yearn it has been the custom to treat colored people as aliens, although they are more than ninety-nine per cent of American birth; and there is a growing tendency among the colored people to regard themselves as aliens. This is being encouraged by a class of leaders who call themselves "Negroes" and yell about "Negro Kultur" although they have not more than half and often less than one-eighth of Negro blood. Such men ought to stop the "Negro" propaganda and be Americans and demand justice because they are Americans and not by the false assertion that they are "Negroes." They should not have any rights as "Negroes" but every right of an American citizen should be and will be accorded them, if they fight for their rights as American citizens by right of birth. TINSEL CHIVALRY The Southern Caucasians are continually yelling about their chivalrous regard for women and their determination to protect females from assaults etc., but in view of many happenings in the Southland it is evident, that that their chivalry is of the tinsel variety. Last year a Caucasian went into the home of a respectable colored woman in Wagoner, Okla., and attempted to assault her, but was shot by the woman before he succeeded. When the chivalrous Oklahomaans heard of the happening, the colored woman who killed the white man in protecting her virtue was lynched by an "orderly mob of the best citizens." In another Southern state recently, a colored man was walking along the street with his sweetheart when a white man made an insulting remark about her. The colored man promptly killed the white man and a few hours later he was lynched by a mob of "leading citizens." The chivalrous men of Georgia have allowed a law fixing the age of consent for girls 10 years, to stand upon the statute boks, and in nearly every Southern state it is lower than it ought to be. The Southern boast about defending the honor of women is a LIE. Southern chivalry is tinsel. Scientific Study Opens Doors. (From the Richmond Planet.) When colored men make a scientific study of finance, just as white men have done, the doors of wealth and competency will swing wide for them THE NEW ABOLITION. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People came as a direct result of the Springfield riots. After several conferences it was organized and opened its headquarters opened in November 1910. The growth of the organization has been phenomenal. Today it has fifty branches throughout the country and 7,000 members and the crisis, edited by Dr. W. E. B. DuBois has reached a circulation of over 85,000. The platform of the association is broad but uncompromising. The office content contains among other things the following strong statement and demands: "The National Association For the Advancement of Colored People seeks to uplift the colored men and women of this country by securing to them the enjoyment of their rights as citizens, of their citizenship, of opportunity everywhere. It favors and aims to aid every kind of education among them save that which teaches special privilege or prerogative class or caste. It recognizes the importance of problem and no sectionalism. It leaves in the upholding of the constitution of the United States and its amendments, in the spirit of Abraham Lincoln. It upholds the doctrine of non-violence and no man down. It abhors Negroes and slaves and conditions which breed crime and, most of all, the crimes committed by mobs in the mockery of the law or by individuals in the name of the law. It has no other belief than that the best way to uplift the colored man is the best way to aid the white man to the best content. It has no other desire than to resist and no other motive than humanity." The proposed program for the advance of the colored people has been laid down by Dr. W. E. B. DuPuis: "We need not waste time by seeking to deceive our enemies into thinking that we are going to be content with us, or being willing to hull our friends into a war of difference and present satisfaction. The American Negro demands equality—political equality—and he is never going to rest satisfied with anything less than braggadocio and with no obsequious envy of others, but as an absolute measure of self defense and the only one that will assure to the darker races their ultimate survival on earth. The colored people must have industrial freedom. Between the peonage of shrewd capitalists and the jealousy of certain trade unions the colored laborer is the most exploited class in the country, giving more hard ford for the blacks and other American and with less voice in the conditions of his labor. In social intercourse every effort is being made today from the president of the United States and to the so called Church of Christ down to saloons and restaurants, strangled and spiritually starve the colored as to give him the least possible chance to know and share civilization. "The colored man must have power—the power of men, the right to do, to know, to feel and to express that knowledge, and to express that power. He must not simply be free from the political tyranny of white folk; he must have the right to vote and to rule over all the citizens to the extent that he can have a voice in the new industrial democracy which is building and the power to see to it that his children are not in the next generation and that he must have a voice of society. He must have the rights of social intercourse with his fellows. "There was a time in the atomic individualistic group when "social intercourse" meant merely calls and tea parties; today social intercourse meansaters lectures, organization, travel, hotels—it means. In short, life. To bar a group from methods of thinking, living and doing, is to bar them from the world and bid them create a world—it is to crucify them and them with not being able to live." Dr. DuBois suggest five practical steps for action—first, economic co-operation; second, a revival of art and craft; third, a revival of education; fourth, education; fifth, organization "For the accomplishment of all these ends we must organize. Organization among us already has gone far, but it is not yet complete. Our organization is sacrifice. It is sacrifice of opinions, of time, of work and of money, but it is, after all, the cheapest way of buying the most priceless of freedom and efficiency. I thank God that this may be possible. We ports this association comes from colored hands. A still larger proportion must come, and we must not only support, but control, this and similar organizations, thus meaningly to our objects, our aims and our ideals. "With such organizations and with all the progress - that they can point to let us never be satisfied with more progress so long as we fall so far behind, that we are unable to meet our desires. Remember that we are despised today by millions of people not because we suffer, but because we suffer like dumb, driven cattle, with even a smile on our faces. To what other race could it happen on our planet? To what leaders here in New York before assembled thousands could congratulate his people because only fifty-three colored men and women have in one short year been hanged and shot and killed in the thousands, 000,000 people satisfaction, in God's name what will it take to make them fight? "As for me and those that think with me, so long as one black man in the United States is illegally punished on unjustly treated or has the door of punishment opened to protest and complain and protest again whether the world wants to hear us or not. We may not gain our ends. We cannot gain our ideals. But the program I lay before you is not only reasonable and just, but it is a program of peace and patience. The awful fact that in this as in all great causes, if peace and patience cannot win, then war and struggle must. In any case there can be no deference to the law, and can be no defeat as long as a colored man draws a breath in America." Not Worthy of Freedom. (From the Ammonia Picture) We know uncompromisingly to oppression, it is a practical demonstration that an individual is not worthy of freedom. RACE PREJUDICE.

The term "Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate as appended to millions of col- people for it is also alarmingly inhumilition, or the reasons: a. It has never stood history in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was added to the higher types, but to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negrofy, Negro-monkey, are all clearly its associations, degrading. d. Its feminine associations, degrading. e. It justly and correctly used to define your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. f. It has been the word used by the Goddess to speak two centuries, when formally speaking of talking about an unworthy or criminal or woman of the race. For when he speaks of the worthy he invariably says "colored." g. It is not differentiated in the mind and the whites from their favorite and generally of (among themselves) terms, "Nigro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence, cutting us off from the thought, simply by operation of the millions of colored Africans, Asiatics and islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours. OWEN W. WALLER, M. D. Must Judge A Group by its Best. (From the Christian Register, Boston No one can be said to know any class of people who has not been in intimate and sympathetic relation with the best as well as the worst of the class. We compare many persons who live the South, and think they know the color of the sky, who have had no such contact, but who have come into intimate and sympathetic relations with large numbers of that race whom their Southern parents have never known; and of the two sets of people who should say that the second knew the color better than the first. They know aspirations among them that the others do not know, or, knowing, do not enter into and appreciate; they know by direct contact with the best of the color of the oblivious of; they know qualities only respect and sympathy can bring out; they know possibilities to which others by their very acquaintance are those who know the color of race themselves and by observation merely could know what individual possibilities are demonstrated in growing numbers of the elect, and would be courageously candid with themselves, they would rejoice in the judgments and possibly soften their heart, and they ought to credit to those on whom they charge ignorance of the colored race the values that come from knowing how many of that race are the equal of any members of the dominant race, and in the clearest alms.

WALLER AGAINST "NEGRO" Of One Blood. Molière! Though the cathedral quarrel together and sing praises with siege-guns to their own little foolish national souls, and rain bombs on each other's naves, I take my stand by the great bells ringing in their wives, the their poets overriding the years, by the their songs and songs of their heroes, artists, inventors, by the mothers and the little children. We are all in the same world. We are alike. We will not say of any one nation, we will say of the others; and I will not say of any man what I will not say of myself. OUR NEED OF JUXTAPOSITION. (From the Boston Guardian.) That we much better be, and associate among ourselves. Colored Americans that has become almost true. That is a mistake; it is a feeling of avowed cowardice and inferiority. It is an utter impatience among ourselves, making for harmony and cordiality to a common government, and at the same time, each race work out its own salvation. The "theory" has been tried and resulted into a ghastly defeat of our ability to make for harmony and cordiality between two races, it has increased race hatred and antagonism in leaps and bounds. We have heeded too long the advice from false and treachery and have had the resistance is wrong, that it only breeds red and antagonism; that the thing for us to do is to get property and other rights will inevitably follow. This advice faithfully and have been followed in terms of residence segregation, street segregation, confiscation and loss of property, anti-intermarriage—which is of the blackest pieces of legislation defenseless and at the mercy of white brutes — separate schools, jimcrow cars, and even legislating to exclude further Negro immigration. These are the results from "non-resistance" and from "non-resistance" that with the same degree of efforty and terrible legislation with which our property is taken and confiscated, with this same efforty and criminality, may be worn down and manhood rights be taken from. That is a fact. Every congress offers legislation degrading and inimical to our well being. Race prejudice may become accustomed to by attrition. We must children, and go ourselves, to mixed institutions and other places where we can mix with the other races and consequently become accustomed to another. WE MUST WELCOME AND PRACTICE JUXTAPOSITION. Embitters All but Docile Negro In many of the Southern States, years ago, colored troops were allowed and maintained. One by one these states disbanded the colored troops. Georgia was better organized than any other states, and was the last to disband the colored troops, even of war, especially of any duration. colored man will be badly needed, but has he been trained or has he been encouraged to take up arms to fight in defense of his country? He has been disbanded and debarred of many privileges that are justly his and which would embolden any other race but the docile Negro. Each Victory Encourages.

The Attraction at the Star Theatre Next Week. Simonds and Lake's "Auto Girls" the speed queens, with Elsie La Bergegill will be with us next week at the Star Theatre, commencing Sunday, Oct. 31st. Lake's season Simonds and Lake, have gone for a large expense, more than ever to lavishly mount, scenically and mechanically, the two act musical, "In a Millionaire's Jail," that is presented. Featured in the show are Carroll Schroder, Harry Seymour, James J. Lake, Sid Gold, Smiling Rose Allen and several others. Extra added attraction, Elsie La Bergegill, in a series of high art poses, direct from a 10 week run at the Columbia Theatre, New York, N. Y. The colored people of St. Paul have been more highly wrought up over the showing of the pictures of the "Birth of a Nation" than anything that has happened in St. Paul before. And they made a gallant fight to stop the showing of them, but only succeeded in having a couple of scenes eliminated. The papers have given considerable space for images and con, so there is no need for THE PEAL to thresh over the old straw, as nothing further can be gotten out of it. The people who went to the front in this case, are the ones who are generally found in the van of all movements looking toward the welfare and best interests of the people, that did have a few ones, of course, that did have a service and it was a great pleasure to see many friends among the whites who were us in our contention and were not afraid or ashamed to say so. We did not succeed in having the showing of the vicious film stopped entirely, which was unanimously de- sent, but we put up such a fight that it showcased our intent to have, our rights utterly ignored ruthlessly trod upon without protest.

"Gasoline and naphtha can be made less dangerous, for household use if the following six rules are observed," says Robert W. Hargadine, State Fire Marshal. 1. Keep keep gasoline or naphtha in a glass bottle or other breakable container. 2. Never keep it near a fire or in a warm place. 3. Never rub any article in gasoline or naphtha, because these products are easily electrified. An exception to this rule may be made in cleaning kid gloves stretched upon the hands, providing the rubbing is not done in the fluid, and is done in the open air. 4. Never press or iron goods that have been cleaned with gasoline or naphtha in the clean air are thoroughly dried in the open air. 5. Never sprinkle gasoline or naphtha about the edges of carpets or rugs to kill moths. 6. Never keep a supply of gasoline or naphtha in the cellar where the vapor from a possible leak might accumulate, but if it is absolutely necessary to keep the product in the house place the container on a shelf or four feet from the ground. The objective of these simple rules will eliminate those of handling these extremely inflammable products in the household, and none is expensive, onerous or impractical. --- A The End of a Perfect Day Eventide is one of the sweetest words in our language. To the laborer it means relief from the day's toil; to the man of affairs it means respite from the keen strife of business. It means the return to that haven of rest—the home. To the housewife it means her hour of triumph when she may gather around her those for whom she has made home a place of contentment. The evening meal is to her an occasion of cheer. How well she has planned if a part of that meal is a bottle of Hamm's BEER It is an adjunct to the perfect closing of a perfect day. THEO.HAMM BREWING CO. ST. PAUL DALE 6230 HAIR DRESSING Madam E.
