Bobbed Her Hair and Disguised Her Voice, but When Rodent Scampered Across Her Feet as She Was Talking to Sergeant She Screamed Aloud in Feminine Voice. Paris—If a girl bobs her hair and disguises her voice and dons a polly's uniform she may succeed in getting into the trenches undetected, but—if she stamps across her feet when she is talking to a sergeant she just can't help screaming right out loud and in a very feminine voice. At least that's what Cecile Bourdier says. Cecile is a slender, Dresden china like lass of twenty-three, and her fiance is in the trenches somewhere. Cecile doesn't know just where, and she has been court martialed for her last attempt to find him. She says she won't tell whether she'll try it again, but she admits she is doing her level best to find out just where that regiment is now. Cecile to Amlens on a plea of visiting a mythical aunt and took with her a uniform belonging to a member of her family. She is in her copped brads beneath a steel helmet. Then she hid away in a motor truck, having smiled at the driver and made him her accomplice. Five miles from the firing line she quit the truck and stumbled through the dark on foot. Finally she found herself in a communication trench leading to the front.line works. She met a sergeant and told him she was on leave and hunting for her brother. The regiment had been moved. "Then," she said, "he asked me a lot of questions, which I managed to answer without giving myself away, but suddenly a big rat ran across my window and caught me. And of course after that it was off. "First they took me for a spy. But the general was very kind and sympathetic with me. He said for the sake of principle he would have to court martial me. They gave me eight days' imprisonment, but you can guess whether I served my full term." TO REDUCE ACCIDENTS. Eleven Hundred a Day Now In New York State Outside of City York State Outside of City. Syracuse—With the permanent establishment of the New York industrial safety congress, which concluded in 1981, and is to have an annual convention hereafter, by experts in safety appliances and in the education of workers to care for themselves that there will be a great reduction in the number of industrial accidents in this state. It was brought out that, exclusive of New York city, there are 1,100 accidents a day throughout the state, or approximately one every thirty seconds of a ten hour wage day. The safety congress, which was presided over by James M. Lyle, state industrial minister, was attended by 300 men and women representing the largest manufacturing corporations in the state, from directors to shop foremen. Trade unions and civil organizations also were represented. GAME PRESERVES ABOLISHED Britain Removes Cause of Bitter Social Hatreds. London.-Captain Bathurst, secretary of the board of agriculture, in announcing in the commons that the government was about to end the preservation of game really gave another inference that the government was about to end the social discussions of Great Britain. During Lloyd George's land campaign in 1900 unexamined bitterness was displayed because the country dweller frequently was unable to obtain the tiniest patch of land to cultivate, while hundreds of thousands of acres were devoted solely to game presences. If the order remains in force after the war the whole character of agricultural England will be changed. COMMUNITY RABBIT DOG. Daisy So Expert All Dobbs Ferry May Employ Her Talent. Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.-Until recently Police Chief Patrick Costello was the owner of Daisy, a rabbit dog famed in five counties. Chief Tom Lee of the fire department, Kenneth Toomey, A. Knappenberg, Morris Losee and scores used to borrow Daisy from the chief. So habitual did this borrowing become as Daisy's renown spread that Chief Costello announced that Daisy was the community rabbit dog, and any resident in good standing could use her for a day's rabbit hunting if he would supply a day's rations and a high lodging. He doesn't expect to Daisy again until the rabbit season closes. Beee Nearly Kill Heifer. Marshfield, WI—A heifer owned by J. C. Davis kicked over a beehive. Instantly it was attacked by hundreds of honey makers and stung from head to foot. In its frantic efforts to get away, the attackers stabbed seven more blives, and the inmates of these joined the attackers. The heifer finally escaped, stung nearly to death. SEEKS CROESUS' WEALTH. Professor Butter Will Dig For Treasure Buried in Sardis. Peekskill, N. Y.,—Croesus, king of Lydia and the world's first great financier, escorted a committee of his subjects through his palace one afternoon in February, 77, and after the committee had looked at Croesus' heaps of gold one of the visitors, the first muckraker evidently, said it was wicked that any one should have so much wealth and that something was going to happen. It did. Half an hour later most of the big mountain overbanging Sardis buried the city, and when the earthquake was over Croesus' wealth was buried below mining depth. Professor Howard Butler of the department of art and archaeology in Princeton university announced that he was going over to Asla Minor very soon. He curried treasure. In 1908 Professor Butler sent a card to Sardis, and, though he only bronze statues, his excavations were of great scientific worth. His decision to return was made following the receipt of a message at his home in Croton Falls sent by Consul George Horton at Smyrna, which asserted that Professor Butler's old excavations were unburned notwithstanding war operations. HE "MINES" MUSHROOMS Expert Uses Deserted Coal Mine as Farm With Success. Morgantown, W. Va.—The queerer the place selected for a mushroom garden the finer, it seems, is the growth of this popular table delicacy. The last word in a mushroom farm, however, is such a garden placed in the depta of a deserted coal mine, hundreds feet below the ground. Not for the sake of the location is this old coal mine, known as the Pittsburgh coal seam, in Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Theodore F. Imbach, an assistant in the state agricultural experimenting station at Morgantown, obtained a permit from the owners of the property. He encamped on the first level and made chemical analysis of the rocky soil. He found it was rich in moisture and its constituents exactly those needed by mushrooms to be the best and most luxurant growth. He started a mushroom farm and found the spot was ideal for his purpose. This "mushroom mine" makes large shipments weekly to the city markets. HELPING THE IMMIGRANT. Los Angeles Plans Methods of Practical Assistance. Los Angeles, Cal. — Fifty thousand clubwomen of Los Angeles are co-operating with the Federal Immigration Commission and the school board in initiating new standards of education and training for teachers of teaching the alien patriotic hymn he will be instructed how to call a doctor in an emergency, talk to the corner policeman and similar usages. The first step will be the opening of eighteen night schools for the foreign population. The general movement is the outgrowth of a social survey made of the city under the direction of the Commission on Immigration and Housing in 1970. The analysis of the kind made by a western city in this country. The new night schools will be maintained the year round. WHITE MICE SET FIRE. But Then They Give Alarm by Scampering Over Sleepers. New York. - Some practical joke turned loose twelve white mice in a Brooklyn store. As a result there was a fire. Twelve families were hurried to the street, and one man was nearly suffocated. The first floor is occupied by James Rigby, a cigar dealer. He slept in the rear of the store. The mice, scampering across beds, awoke sleepers women screamed and ran into the house. Someone heard the yelling summoned a policeman. He was then the fire was discovered. Rigby was found unconscious. He was revived by Dr. Harper of the Brooklyn hospital. The fire did $600 damage. The police believe mice gnawed a box of matches in the cigar store. COLONEL HAS A FIRE TRUCK New Apparatus Allays Oyster Bay's Fear of Inocillaries. Oyster Bay. N. Y.-Fear of incendiarism which has filled the residents of this section for the last few months resulted in the putting into service by Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and other wealthy men of a modern fire truck. The machine is guaranteed to make the fire more efficient and order time, and the new apparatus gives Oyster Bay the best fire protection on Long Island outside of Brooklyn. There have been many disastrous fires on the estates of residents of the north shore recently. Among those who joined Colonel Roosevelt in contributing toward the new fire truck were W. R. Coe, C. K. G. Billings, J. Stuart Blackton, Colgate Hoyt and Mortimer L. Schiff. And Still Eggs Are High. Charleston, W. Va.-Eloslise is the name of a Rhode Island red hen owned by L. P. White, a farmer of Birch Run, Kauwa county. She has laid an egg for two months, each of which is much larger than the ordinary egg. The last and largest of these measured eight and one-half inches the long way around and seven inches in the other largest circumference. Flosse is less than one year old. THE APPEAL MINNESOT HISTORICAL SOCIETY American Collier Will Carry Relief For War Sufferers. New York.-America's the 1016 Christmas ship for the relief of unfortunate victims of the war will leave New York Dec. 1. The American Red Cross is co-operating with the American committee for Armenian and Syrian relief in collecting foodstuffs and clothing to be sent to Syria on a government council placed at the disposal of the latter committee by Secretary Daniels. The collection of the Christmas ship cargo includes of Albert W. Staub of the American Red Cross receiving and distributing station at Bush terminal, Brooklyn. Mr. Staub has already received countless bundles of old clothing, unavailable for the cargo, as military regulations preclude the shipment of second hand clothing in this cargo. He said, "It must be emphasized that the only clothing America can send to the unfortunate ones in Turkey must be new and must be sent prepaid to the American Red Cross, Bush terminal, Brooklyn." Mr. Staub the following letter from the war relief information and shipping office: "It is more than significant that the first letter to go out from the newly organized Red Cross war relief information office has to do with a Christmas ship. It is doubly significant that it is to take relief to a people living, so near the Holy Land." MIKE HICKEY TELLS OF HIS REFORMATION Ex-Pickpocket, With Twenty Years' Prison Record, Talks to 400 Men. Mike Hickey, once a notorious pickpocket, with a record of nineteen and a half years behind prison bars, told 400 men at the Harlem branch Y. M. C. A., New York, how he straightened out and how other inhabitants of the underworld could be helped to do the same. Mike's career as a thief lasted until about four years ago, when he wandered, fresh from Sing Sing, into the Cremorne mission, on Thirty-second street. It ended there. Now he is night man at the Bowery Y. M. C. A. and passes his spire time helping his old pals from Danaemora and Sing Sing to get their feet on the "straight and narrow." The trouble with the newly emerged convict, he said, was the old story—out into the world with a $10 bill and a wish to keep straight; a job until a cop told the boss of his record, then no more job; broke; one more trick to get money to eat; caught, and back to prison. What the convict needs is a bit of belief and encouragement when he starts to reform, said Hickey, adding that the convict are beginning to give this, so that men with long records as criminals are now taking their places in honest life. MOSQUITOES CLOSE MILLS. Pest of Insects Compile Plants to Shut Down. Connell, Tex.-The gulf coast region of east Texas and the western part of Louisiana have been afflicted with the worst scourge of mosquitoes ever known. Several large lumber mills were forced to close down on account of the pest. Men and animals were tortured by the bites of the insects. Cattle and horses were attacked by veritable hordes of mosquitoes, and the animals huddled together in groups in an effort to protect themselves as much as possible from the bites. On the farmer's farm, fire fires were kept burning constantly to drive away the pests, but these efforts seemed to be of little avail. HONOR SCHOOL JANITOR Veteran Held That Post in the Building For Years. Indianspolis, Ind.-Shortridge high school of this city each year renders tribute to the memory of some man or woman who has helped in the upbringing. This year the alumni, after discussing the names of several men who had risen to a place of high esteem in the world, chose to honor James Biddy, for twenty-five years junior of the institution. A tablet recounting his faithful labors of this year has been imparted to "his boys and girls" a quarter of a century has been placed in a conspicuous place in the halls. Onion and Cracker Diet. Kankakee, Ill.—With property valued at $2,500, but with no appetite except when his wife buys the food, at which times he eats "copiously." Ira Palmer, eighty-three years old, maintains that "an onion and a cracker" are enough for any one at a meal, according to the allegations made in a bill for separate maintenance by his wife, Dora. She says that for his comfort she trimmed his beard and cut his hair. Killed Himself Running, Bremerton, Wash.—Because Wesley Antony, fifty-four years old, did not want to be late for work recently he ran seven miles around the shores of Puget sound. When he arrived at the navy yard he collapsed and died a few moments later in the Marine hospital. Defective Page Transatlantic Aeroplane Line Is Possible, Says Woodhouse. OUR AIR MEN EFFICIENT. Great Britain Is Spending $250,000,000 In Military Aeronautics This Year—In Half a Dozen Countries Number of Aviators Ranges Between 2,000 and 10,000. New York.—"A transatlantic aeroplane line is now quite possible owing to improved motors," Henry Woodhouse, member of the board of governors of the Aero club, told 250 members of the Rotary club here. "The aspect of things in aeronautics," he said, "has been changed. Nowadays the motor can outlast the aviator's planes equipped with from two to six struts up to thirty people can be built for commercial purposes. The largest aeroplane at present has a carrying capacity of fifteen tons, but plans are ready for an aeroplane capable of lifting thirty tons. American aeroplanes and motors are so efficient that a flight over a thousand miles a day is possible. There are 25,000 aeroplanes in use in the world, and the reason why there are not more is that they cannot be supplied fast enough to replace those that are put out of action or worn out. There are spending $250,000,000 in military aircraft this year. Five hundred thousand people are producing and operating air crafts and aeronautic supplies. The American aeronautic industry has orders and pending contracts amounting to $30,000,000. "In half a dozen countries the number of aviators ranges between 2,000 and 10,000. The United States army and navy have together about a hundred. The European countries have thousands of observation balloons and hundreds of dirigibles. The United States army and navy together have only four observation balloons ordered and one small dirigible." MAN FIGHTS JELLYFISH. Swimmer Sent to a Hospital After a Life and Death Struggle. Santa Barbara, Cal.-G. H. Wilson was sent to the Cottage hospital here in a critical condition recently. He had a life and death struggle with a huge jellyfish. Four hundred feet from off, Serena, Wilson was suddenly attacked. He saw before him what he later said looked like a huge sheet of butter and eggs. Suddenly the strips of yellow and white began to separate from the mass and extend toward him. He turned to swim out of reach when the creature threw its tentacles about him, and the mad fight was on. In the struggle Wilson broke the mass into fragments, but reached the shore exerting his face and shoulders stinging as though from scabs. At the hospital it was said that the patient would recover. His pain at times was so intense that morphine had to be administered. His shoulders and face resemble one mass of poison oak burns. HE'S A GIANT SUPERMAN. Never Used Meat, Pepper, Alcohol, Tea, Tobacco—Stain Single. Clinton, Mo.—Dusty and travel worn, but with his long strides retaining the vigor of all his eighteen years of backwoods life, Clarence Barton trudged into town after covering 130 miles from Turner, Mo. He came in the heat and dust over the miles of hills afoot to attend the Missouri conferences of the Seventh Day Adventists. And this youth has lived a strange life in the very modern and up to date state of Missouri. In all his eighteen years he never tasted a mouthful of meat. Never has a rink of tea or coffee passed his lips. His ingredients are of daily food he never has been served with pepper. He never has tasted a drop of alcohol in any form and does not know the tang of tobacco smoke. And be is a perfect specimen—a young backwoods giant. Barton excelled in all the sports of the camp. SHAD SIGN OF MILD WINTER. Caught In Lower Hudson For First Time In Thirty Years. Dobbs Ferry, N. Y.-Shad were caught in the Hudson river for the first time in thirty years at the season of the year. The fishing experts say that it is an infallible sign of an open winter. John H. Lange, professional fisherman, caught the shad in the gill nets he had set in the running tide forway on Lovely River, and a recognized authority on fishing, and the shad usually went south to warmer waters in the fall, and when caught in the lower Hudson thirty years ago the weather was so mild that the river was open for navigation all through the winter. Busy Man Offers $1,000 For Wife. New York.-Too to play to the role of sutor himself, Albert F. Shore, a business man, has commissioned a friend to succeed before Christmas, in also caring a girl about twenty-four years either blond or brunette, but studious and not a social butterfly, he will receive $1,000. And if he has not succeeded at that time any person may earn the $1,000 by producing a suitable bride. Shore is thirty-four years old. He is of medium, height, dark complexion and curdly hair. JANARY 27.1917 DIG UP BIG TOOTH OF PREHISTORIC MASTODON Well Preserved, Though Found Far Below Surface of the Ground. Cottonwood Falls, Kan.—A big tooth, which is supposed to have come from the jaw of some mastodon of prehistoric ages, has been unearthed by T. E. Nichols of this city by men employed in making a deep cut on Diamond creek, a mile and a half northeast of Elmldale. The trench had been sunk to a depth of fifty-three feet and had passed through an eight foot gravel strata when the big tooth was found. A soapstone formation was encountered just beneath it. The tooth is well preserved. It weighs over three pounds, measures a foot and three inches in circumference around its base and is three points of height from its base to the points of weight. It is oblong in shape, its width being three and a half inches. There are six knee points to the tooth, which extend upward in regular pairs. The tooth has two large roots, there being about three or four inches of the root intact, but the lower parts are broken off. It is believed the tooth belonged to a carnivorous, or flesh eating, animal because of the fanges or sharp points. After finding the tooth another bone only a few feet away was uncovered by another workman. It is a large fat layer of bone, which resembles a kneecean. FAITHFUL DOG'S BARKING CALLS FATHER TO CHILD Little One, Playing In Pasture, Where It Strayed, Kicked by Horses. Wheatland, Wyo. - G. F. Harold's little son, Alvin, two and a half years old, was kicked in the head by a horse the other day, his skull was fractured and other severe wounds, seemingly sufficient to cause death, were sustained. The father's attention was called to the child by the frantic barking of the farm dog, and upon investigating he insensible form, the boy from a bunch of horses in the pasture where the little fellow had wandered in his play. The child's forehead was crushed, the nose broken and the eye lalp open by the flesh being all torn from it. As he was still alive he was rushed to a hospital with all possible speed. The surgeon performed a very delicate operation, lifting the broken bones into position and sewing the torn skin around the eye back into place, and at present writing the little fellow is getting along nicely and gives promise of complete recovery in the pasture. That he was not instantly killed is probably due to the fact that the horse's hoof struck a glanding blow, and that he lives at all is because there was a skillful surgeon available. SISTERS EARN $2,400. Set New Agricultural Record Raising Cabbages. Greensburg, Pa. — Four Westmoreland county young women, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Smith, near Ruffside, have established a new agricultural record in the yield and profits to be derived from a two acre plot of cabbage. The Misses Smith, the eldest of whom is eighteen, now have a bank account of $800, with accounts due from Pittsburgh commission men amounting to $800, and a quarter of their cabbage yet remains to be cut and marketed. Buyers estimate the value of the entire field at about $2,400. Early last spring Smith turned the two acre plot over to his daughters, telling them to make any use of it they desired. The girls, after closely scanning the market reports for weeks, decided to grow cabbages. They set about 18,000 plants. KILL WHITE FACED IBIS. Kansas Hunters Were Puzzled, but Professor Solved the Problem. Topeka, Kan.-A part of hunters were near Stafford when a long legged bird, which looked like a crane and new like a duck, suddenly rose and started toward Oklahoma. Six guns spoke at the same time. The bird gave up the southern trip. The men did not know what they had killed. They guessed everything from a mud hen to a wild turkey. George Stansfield made a secret trip to Lawrence and conferred with some of the professors. They labeled the kit a white faced glossy ibis, a species resident in Kansas. The coloring is very delicate and changes continually. It is one of the snipie family, but is unfit for food. Long Trip of Bible. Maya Landing, N. J. It will take fifty years of traveling, during which time 100,000 miles will be covered, for a "traveling Bible," now in the lodge quarters of P. O. S. of A. camp, No. 106, to fulfill its mission. The Bible is to be taken from one camp to another in each county until every county in the state has been covered, then it will go to every camp in each county, remitting three weeks with each. WOULD ALTER "DIXIE." Music Teachers Want "Star Spangled Banner" Changed Also. New York.-At a conference of high school music teachers a committee was appointed to ask music publishers and the public school teachers to eliminate negro dialect from songs printed in the textbooks. Dr. Frank R. Rix, musical director of the education department, was present at the conference, said: "My suggestions for these changes were made some time ago by me to the board of superintendents, but they were shelved, and I do not know what has become of them. The reasons for changing the darky dialect should appeal to any interested person. We want our children to learn pure English, not a dialect. Then also there are the children in our schools. The number is growing. Dialect confuses them. It is hard enough for them to learn our ordinary English. I think that the change ought to be made through the country." In "Star Spangled Banner" "perilous fight" is to be changed to "clouds of the fight," and the uniform key will be the flat to A flat to make the singing of the flat to the Diale "de" will be changed to the "and" "nebber" to "never." among other things. KEEPS FISH FROM DROWNING Captain Kintz Would Get Medal if Perch Had a Carnegie. New York. — Captain Frank Kintz, master in the Taytug tauk boat fleet of this city, recently became a fish lifesaver. Aboard the tug Captain Toby, Captain Kintz was in Occoquan with a tow from this city. A yellow perch a boy had caught and been left dangling on a string in the water until it was almost dead, not having strength to hold itself below the surface. Captain Kintz saw the fish and also his opportunity to save life even if it was only that of a fish, and a bony yellow perch at that. Reasoning that if it was water that drowned a human being it must be air that drowned a fish. Captain Kintz proceeded to apply first aid and help the fish to get rid of the air. Holding it down in the water, he gently rubbed its sides, and bubbles of minute minutes of this manure on the surface. About fifteen minutes of this manure on the surface, the perch revived and with a flirt of its tail swam rapidly away. If there was a Carnegie among the fish Captain Kintz would surely be awarded a medal as a fish lifesaver. EXPLORES PALACE RUINS Pennsylvania Museum Finds Discovery of Graveyard Importance eries of Growing Importance. Philadelphia.—Further excavations in the palace of Meenepath by the expedition to Egypt of the University of Pennsylvania museum indicate that the palace is almost twice as large as was at first supposed. This makes it among the greatest palaces of ancient Egypt, according to Dr. Clarence S. Fisher, head of the expedition. On account of the great heat the excavations temporarily have been discontinued, but the general outline of the ruins has been established. Dr. R. H. H. Aaron, a throne room where Moses and Aaron are supposed to have appeared before Pharoh and demanded the release of the Israelites, many chambers and a notable vestibule with rows of enormous pillars, carved and colored, with a large relief which will enrich the university museum have been unearthed. DEFENDS SIDEWALK SKATING. Montclair Champion Says It Helps Children's Morals. Montclair—The controversy in this town over the use of the sidewalk, which was started when Mrs. John Haynes Lord protested to the authorities because children were allowed to use them for roller skating, bids fair to become a community issue. Mrs. Lord, who was injured by being run down by a bicyclist on a sidewalk a few years ago, has many supporters. Her attitude, however, is resented by a among whom is Arthur P. Heyer, who is for town commissioner at the last election. Mr. Heyer came out with another broadside. He believes that the streets could be made the greatest educational asset of any community if the people would look at the matter in the right way. He says skating in the open air makes children moral. LABORER HEIR TO $1,500,000. "I Don't Know What I Will Do With It." Says Sepsugenianian. New Kensington, Pa.-Called from the plant of the Braehnur Steel company, where he was employed as a laborer at 25 cents an hour, Thomas Conlin, seventy years old, was told he had fallen heir to $1,500,000. The old man was staggered by the news and didn't know what I will do with it. he said Thomas and Frank Conlin came to America from Ireland thirty years ago. For five years they worked together with little success; then Frank said he was going to Australia. Later it was reported he was making a fair living in the gold fields. Thomas has a son. To Build Great Hospital Ship. Philadelphia-Work will begin at once at the Philadelphia navy yard on the $30,000 hospital ship, to be conceived and navy, according to Josephus Daniels secretary of the navy, who was in this city to address delegates to the Atlantic deeper waterway- convention.

Prince Yi, Prospective Bridegroom, is Twenty Years Old and Princess Fiteen—Young Prince is a Student in Military Academy, From Which Hell Be Graduated Next Year. Tokyo. The secret already suspected of the visit of Count Terauchi, governor general of Korea, to Japan is now fully revealed in the announcement of the Prince Yi, eldest son of the former Korea, to a lady of the Japanese blood imperial, the Princess Masako Nashimoto, first daughter of Major General Prince and Princess Nashimoto, says the East and West News agency. The prince is high in Japanese army circles. The idea of the union and the choice of the lady are highly approved in Japan. Prince Yi is twenty years old, and the princess is fifteen, and both are receiving their education, so the marriage will not take place for a few years. All the necessary arrangements have been considered except the formal sanction of the emperor and the formal approval of Prince Yi, father of Prince Yi, and Prince Yi, his brother—both stated to be matters of form, since Count Terauchi obtained the consent of the Korean princes before he left Japan. Prince Masako Nashimoto was born in November, 1901, and is now in the third year class in the Peers school. She will complete her course in the middle grade in 1918. She is one of the best students in her class. The young Prince Yi is a student in the Military academy, from which he will be graduated next year. Since he was brought to Japan by the late Prince Ito several years ago he has been entirely according to Japanese custom. The idea of such a union originated with the late Prince Ito. No provision for a marriage of this sort is made in the constitution for the imperial family of Japan. As a result a revision in the constitution will be necessary. MOTORMAN FOR HIS HEALTH. Accident Discoveries Son of Well to Do Parents on Sand Car. New York. - How Frederick M. Hull, Jr. the son of well to do parents, became a motorman to regain his health became known after a collision between a trolley and a sand car of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company. He is twenty-four years old, was in charge of the sand car. As he was attempting to make a switch a passenger car in charge of John Doberty coming in the opposite direction collided with it. Doberty was taken to the Kings County hospital suffering from cuts and bruises. It was learned after the accident that Hull was the son of Mrs. Irving T. Hynds, who married a second time. In his earlier years he was a popular athlete in Erasmus Hall high school. On June 10, 1915, he disappeared from home. When he returned he was absent six days. He was suffering from a nervous breakdown His physician said he was suffering from amnesia and recommended outdoor employment. Four months ago he took the job as motorman. GUM RACK FOR SCHOOLS. Thinks Children Should Have it on Playgrounds. Madison, Wis. - The State Educational Bulletin, issued recently, comments favorably on a suggestion of President J. W. Crabtree of the River Falls Normal school that there should be gum racks in schools. "Pupils have a right to chew gum," said President Crabtree. "Do it, but they know when and how. Why not teach these conventionalities to the pupil." "Permit the pupils to chew gum on the playground and on the way to and from school. But what will the poor child do with his gum while in the recitation or assembly room? A gum rack at the entrance of the room containing a number and peg for each pupil solves the problem." This Is Some Family. Berea, Ky.-Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Davidson of this city have eleven children, 100 grandchildren and thirty-two great-grandchildren.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. HIGH COST OF LIVING. According to the annual report of Armour & Co., meat dealers of Chicago, made public last week, the net earnings were $20,100,000 or 20 percent on capital stock and 14.7 percent on investment. The report also says the year was the most prosperous in the history of the company. As this company is only one of many such companies, who, it is reasonable to presume made the same proportional gains, does it not follow that the outrageously high prices that have been and now are being charged for meats, are thus shown to be little short of wholesale robbery. When people are compelled to pay, in many instances, three times as much as they formerly paid for the same meats, does this not show conclusively that such concerns as Armour & Co. are largely responsible for the high cost of living that is driving people to suicide. There should be some plan by which such concerns should be prevented from lining their coffers by imposing their unfair and uncalled for prices on the public, for the necessities of life. THE HYPOCRITICAL TRIBUNE In another editorial THE APPEAL has called attention to the hypocritical fight the Chicago Tribune has started to cut down Southern representation. In another issue the Tribune claims to be actuated by a desire to correct a condition "incompatible with progress and democratic society." And in the same editorial it throws off its mask and says: "An intelligent majority of the north can be relied upon to defend the south from colored domination. There ought to be a more energetic co-operation to try to work out for the colored American a special status in which, at least during what may be called --- THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover The human race has test. Had no voice in injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. his political and social minority, he could be protected in his civil rights and assured conditions of development, though not granted the political privilege which would make him in his present condition a weight upon southern progress and a cause of anxiety or race feeling. The political genius of America ought to be able to work out such a compromise." The Tribune's words are so "incompatible" with the genius of democracy that they answer themselves. Think of the Tribune proposing a "special status" for the colored American, after the Supreme Court of the United States, headed by a Southern Chief Justice, has thrown the "grandfather clause and other Southern political schemes into the scrap heap! "A NEGRO WEST POINT." "Giles B. Jackson and other negroes," so says the wires, have appeared before a Senate committee in Washington and asked for the establishment of a "negro West Point." Giles is an alleged lawyer from Richmond, Virginia, who has figured in a number of Jim-crow propositions, but this one caps the climax. How any man, born in America, can go to Congress and ask that the badge of inferiority be placed upon him and his children by Congressional action, is beyond the comprehension of THE APPEAL. If colored men are willing to risk their lives in defense of their country, they ought to be trained in the existing West Point and if they are Jim-crowed they ought to refuse to enlist. It would be interesting to look into Giles' head and see the wheels go round. JIM-CROW SCHOOLS FOR RUSSIA. Russia is learning from the United States. The alleged republic is giving the despotism a few lessons in hellishness and race segregation. Mob murders are increasing in the United States while Russian programs are not so much in evidence as they were two or three years ago. Heretofore there were no segregated schools for Jews in Russia, maintained by the government. Three per cent of the Jewish population were admitted to the public schools and universities. Now the cable tells us that a series of segregated high schools and industrial schools exclusively for Jewish students, similar to the Jim-crow schools of the Southern United States are to be established. So the work of hell devised in the South is continued in Holy Russia. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION The Chicago Tribune, which was a copperhead sheet during the Slave holders' Rebellion and has since been a persistent enemy of the colored people has started a little movement to cut Southern Representation in Congress. We quote some of its editorial slush, which if carefully read, will be found to contain in itself a sufficient answer to the Tribune's punk ideas of political morality. "Nevertheless it is the duty of every American, regardless of party, to attack a condition which not only runs counter to the principles of representative government, but also is demoralizing to our political morality and the right development of our national policies. Doctrinaires and sentimentalists in the north demand the enforcement of the right of franchise of the Negro in the south. There is no such demand --- THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgment the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the counten the hearts of friends I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. ce when we should wards out of men. s climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. e must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. in the north generally, for it is recognized that political domination by the Negro is not desirable. It is realized that the premature enfranchisement of the slave was a misfortune to all concerned, however justifiable as a war measure. Intelligent opinion in the north is in harmony with intelligent opinion in the south in desiring for colored people defense from exploitation and conditions of orderly progress. Thinking men and women in both sections realize that these desiderata are retarded, not advanced, by pressure for full political privileges and the fear it keeps alive among southern white men. "But if we do not adhere to dogmas, which, by the way, is one of the weaknesses of the Jeffersonian Democracy the south helps to perpetrate, if we sympathize and support the south's determination to deal with its problems as conditions, we do not waive our right to protest and if possible prevent the south from making its necessity a cover for unfair political profit." THE SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. The national order of United Daughters of the Confederacy, recently in annual session at Dallas, Texas, passed a resolution urging upon the people of the United States that hereafter they refer to the war of secession as the "war between the states," and not as the "civil war" as has been customary. The ladies have a lot of nerve like Southerners of the male persuasion. For many years they have been telling us that the South was right and the North was wrong in the great struggle and to a great extent the North has accepted that view of the case so that nowadays there is very little respect even in the North for the Northern soldier who fought to preserve the Union. It is disgusting to any believer in real democracy to note the ascendency of the people who rebelled and sought to destroy our great Nation. The Southern people were rebels in the true sense of the term and they desired to perpetuate slavery. The proper designation for the great struggle from 1861 to 1865 is the SLAVEHOLDERS' REBELLION. That is what THE APPEAL has called it in the past and we shall continue to call it by that name. TUSKEGEE ON LYNCHING A number of Northern newspapers are publishing Tuskegee reports of the lynching of 54 American citizens in 1916, commenting thereon, and congratulating the country that there were fewer cases than in 1915. Tuskegee has for several years reported a smaller number of lynchings than other observers have been able to record. Reliable and accurate reports show that 80 colored people alone and a few whites were mob-murdered in 1916. Five of the colored people were women and one was a child. Another hellish fact was the roasting to death of five colored persons. The Tuskegee reports are in line with the Tuskegee policy of minimizing the injustices, outrages and crimes of the Caucasians of the South against the colored people. Inaccurate reports do more harm than good and the Tuskegee people ought to present accurate data or cut out their lynching bulletins. Needed by Colored Leaders. (From the Richmond Planet.) Manhood is an asset that every individual should be proud to possess. who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theences of relatives or Charles Sumner MUZZLING THE PRESS. There is a bill before Congress that has for its object the exclusion from the United States mails of newspapers or any sort of printed matter advertising liquors of any kind. This certainly is a step toward the muzzling of the press to which we very much object. It affects the rights and liberties of the newspapers fully as much as it does those who deal in liquors. It does not apply solely to dry states or dry territory but is general. It seems to us that the passage of the bill in question would work to the detriment of the "freedom of the press" which is generally conceded to be very desirable. The bill should not pass. LET THE CONSTITUTION ALONE. Wind Jammer Bryan, elated with the undeserved success of the Democrats in the recent national election, is asking a little too much of his party. In a speech at a dinner recently given in his honor at Washington he urged the adoption of nation-wide prohibition and woman suffrage which is a little more than the average Democrat can stand for. He also advocated the passage of an amendment for the election of the President by direct popular vote and to amend the constitution so as to make that instrument more easily amendable. This latter suggestion would undoubtedly meet their hearty approval as the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the constitution have been wormwood and gall that they would like very much to get rid of and in their place put something that would further outrage and crush the colored people. We have got to stand the Democratic administration for the next four years but we most sincerely hope that after that this beautiful land of ours will not be cursed by their domination any longer. AS OTHERS SEE US. "O, wad some power the giftie gI'e us, To se oursel' as itthers see us." Bobby Burns was, what we would Bobby Burns was, what we would call now-a-days, a "wise guy." call now-a-days, a "wise poet." We Americans think we are the "whole show," but are we? Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the famous East Indian poet, winner of the Nobel Prize for literature, doesn't think we are, and recently criticized us most unmercifully. He said we are building ugly cities, are too self-assured, are nationally conceited and are forgetting the fine simplicity of life in our mad rush for money, and we must admit that he is about right. He says, there is more to life than just making money. Life calls for leisure not machine-made days of money-mad activities. "You hurry so you forget that life at its best is just simplicity, taking time to get the things that money can never buy. "Like a popcorn wagon are your modern ideas of life. Everything is popping and bursting in different directions, no peace, no poise anywhere." AMERICANS—THAT'S ALL For many years it has been the custom to treat colored people as allens, 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 allens. 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. If the colored people were as anxious to practice the virtues of their white brothers as they are their vices, conditions would certainly change. Last week W. W. White, who, however, is not the color of his name, was arrested in Little Rock, Ark., for issuing more than 1,000 bogus divorce decrees. They say White, who is a stenographer, well educated and familiar with legal forms, forged the decrees even to the signatures of the chancellors. It is said he has defrauded the colored people out of several thousands of dollars. The Jim-crow commission, composed of four-fifths Jim-crow white men and one-fifth Jim-crow colored men, will soon sit and formally declare that the Christian religion is a lie. Not in so many words, but that will be the effect, when the Methodist church commission, to reunithe northern and southern branches, convene. Such colored men are a disgrace to their people. Frederick Douglas was the greatest colored American. He was every inch a man. The colored people in every city, town and village in the country should hold meetings in honor of the centenary of his birth which occurs February 14. There have been 53 Saturdays in the year 1916 and as THE APPEAL has appeared on each one of them our subscribers have been given one extra copy as "lanleppe" as they say in New Orleans. HAMPTON AND TUSKEGEE. The Following Article is Taken From The Cleveland Gazette, and is Only One of Many Such That Have Appeared From the Trenchent Pen of Rev. William A. Byrd.—Read and Ponder. According to statistics prepared by Frederick L. Hoffman for "Spectator," Memphis, Tenn., has the unenviable distinction of being the murder metropolis of the United States. More homicides were committed in Memphis than in any other city in proportion to the population. D. R. H. The Greatest Orator America Has Produced, Whose Centennial Will be Observed February 14. DOUGLASS CENTENNIAL. To Be Celebrated February 14th Observance Will Be Nation-Wide. The Twin Cities Should Join in Honoring America's Greatest Colored Man. Great and vital causes are advanced by honoring the memory of their illustrious exponents. When the work of these moral heroes is yet unfinished or is being undone, the present-day struggle for humanity is strengthened by public observances of the anniversaries of the pioneers. Such events mark the occasion to recall the careers and recibe the noble utterances of the great and esteemed form, and to urge devotion to their ideals. The sentimental appeal which goes with the centenary of the birth of a moral leader makes its celebration, if carried on in the spirit of his life work, of telling help to the same cause today. Hence it is that the National Equal Rights League, representing the cruisade of colored Americans for rights and liberties still denied, urges the creation of the centenary of the birth of the greatest of all colored champions of liberty and citizenship for colored Americans, Frederick Douglass, all day Wednesday, February 14th. The League advises that these observances be in the name of the Equal Rights Amendment and that in every place where colored men are present, an Equal Rights committee, or COLORED COLONIALS. Many Colored Men in the American War for Independence. The employment of colored men became a subject of much importance at an early stage of the American War of Independence. The British naturally regarded slavery as an element of weakness in the condition of the colonies, in which the slaves were numerous, and laid their plans to gain the colored men and induce them to take up arms against their masters promising them liberty on this condition. The situation was looked upon by the public men of the colonies as alarming, and several of them urged the Congress to adopt the policy of emancipation. But while the general question of emancipation was defeated, the exigencies of the contest again and again brought up the practical one of employment for colored men, whether bond or free. Only Freemen Wanted in Army. IN May, 1775 Hancock and Warren's committee of the army introduced the following formal resolution: solved. That it is the opinion of this committee, as the contest now between Great Britain and the colonies respects the liberties and privileges of the latter, which the colonies are determined to maintain, that the admission of any person as a soldier into the army now raising, but only such as are freemen, will be inconsistent with the conditions that are to be supported and reflected in these colonies, and that no slaves be admitted into this army upon any consideration whatever." Washington took command of the army around Boston on July 3, 1775. The instructions for the recruiting officers from his headquarters at Cambridge prohibited the enlistment of any negro. It may also be noticed that he was forbidden to enlist "any person who is not an American born, unless such person has a wife and family and is a settled person in this country." Many Colored Men Enrolled. Notwithstanding all this, the fact remains, according to Bancroft, that "the roll of the army at Cambridge had, from its first formation, borne the names of men of color." Free colored men stood in the ranks by the side of white men. In the beginning of the war they had entered the provincial army, and the colored men, like others, were retained in the service after the troops were adopted by a Committee on conference, consisting of Dr. Franklin, Benjamin Harrison and Thomas Lynch, met at Cambridge, October 18, 1775, with the deputy governors of Connecticut and Rhode Island and the committee of the council of Massachusetts Bay, to GOD GIVE US MEN God give us men! A time like this demands Strong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor—men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking! Tall men, sun crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking. Equal Rights League be formed to observance of this great champion of equality. guts. This is the first great duty of currace collectively in the new year 1917 and is the League's New Year Message to the race. It will inspire our young people with respect for, and pride in their racial strain to have brought out the wondrous ability of this man born a slave. It will give it courage to our men and women to fight in an organized way color discrimination to the brave stand taken by Douglass on many occasions. It will challenge the conscience of white Americans to know the life struggle and the eloquent plea made by him for justice to his race. Douglass was the great colored abolitionist. An escaped slave, he eventually waged an independent campaign of agitation for the freedom of his own race. The approach of his centenary should be his people to rally to the standard of the right of our race for rights denied by them. Let there be fitting observance throughout the United States of America of the Centenary of Douglass, the orator, the abolitionist, the editor, the writer, the statesman, under the auspices of Equal Rights committee, or Equal Rights League and the officers, all day February 14, 1917. Thus, one fight for rights be strengthened in the land which Douglas helped make one of freedom for all. BYRON GUNNER, President, Hillburn, New York. WILLIAM MONROE TROTTER, Secretary, Cornhill, Boston. confer with Gen. Washington, and advise a method for renovating the army. On the 23d of October the negro question was presented and disposed of as follows: "Ought not negroes to be excluded from the new enlistment, especially as are havers?" All were thought improper by the council of officers. It was agreed that they be rejected altogether. In general orders, issued November 12, 1775, Washington says: "Neither negroes, 'boys unable to bear arms, nor old men unfit to endure the fatigues of the campaign are to be enlisted." Permitted Their Enlistment. Washington, however, in the last days of the year, under representations to him that the free colored men who had served in his army were very much dissatisfied at being discarded, and fearing that they might seek employment in the British army, took the responsibility to depart from the resolution respecting them and gave license for their being enlisted. Washington promised that if there was any objection on the part of Congress he would discontinue the enlisting of colored men, but, on January 15, 1776, Congress determined "that the free negroes who had served faithfully in the army at Cambridge may be enlisted therein, but no others." The entire aspect of the affairs changed when, in 1779 the South began to be trained. South Carolina, especially, was prepared to make any effectual efforts with militia, by reason of the great proportion of citizens necessary to remain at home to prevent insurrections among the colored men and their desertions to the army, who were assiduous in their endeavors to exegete both revolt and desertion. The result was that in all the Southern states the legislatures passed resolutions to enlist the colored men, and the colored patriots of the Revolution are as much entitled as their white brethren for the ardor with which they fought the common enemy, whether they were bondmen or freemen. It has never been possible to give an exact statement as to the number of colored men who served in the Revolution, for the reason that they were generally mixed in regiments and not calculated separately. Bryan on "Brotherhood." "The white man in the South has disfranchised the Negro in self-protection; and there is not a Republican in the North who would not have done the same thing under the same circumstances. The white men of the South are determined that the Negro will and shall be disfranchised everywhere it is necessary to prevent the recurrence of the horrors of carpetbags rule."—William Jennings Bryan in speech at New York in 1908.

Twenty pretty girls constitute a chorus that is kept busily occupied lending enhanced value to the many musical numbers. LEGISLATURE EMPLOYES SELECTED. Governor Harding reappointed Douglass Miller as his messenger. Those selected by the legislature are: Assistant postmistress, Mrs. Fred H. Gresham of Cedar Rapids; chief junior of the senate, Jeff Logan of Des Moines. Other men in senate cloak room are Homer Jones of Keokuk. Wm. Thompson of Ottumwa, Fred Wright of Davenport. Chief junior of house, Wm. Tomlin of Des Moines. Others are deputy secretary McGaven of Des Moines. J. H. Miller of Newton Wm. Given of Council Bluffs, B. H. Jones of Buxton, Harry B. Burnugh of Mt. Pleasant. Assistant matron, Mrs. Wm. Jones of Des Moines.—Iowa Bystander. The attention of the members of the Minnesota Legislature is called to the above to show that in the distribution of their favors to the people who may lay claim to having kept Minnesota in the Republican column, they are far behind the solons of our neighboring state.—(Ed.) Why Not Regulate Everything? Opposition of the Board of Governors of the Cincinnati Advertisers' Club to the Randall advertising bill pending in Congress is timely and sensible. This measure, if enacted into law, is to withhold from the mails any publication or printed matter advertising intoxicating loris for sale. Enactment of this bill into law will establish a precedent which quickly and easily may lead to governmental censorship of all printed matter. If it becomes unlawful to publish advertising relating to the sale of intoxicating loris, it will be but a step to弘扬 the press of tobacco, of underwear, of stockings or of other commodity in which a large portion of the public is interested. It would almost appear that a law so drastic in its operation would be in contravention of the constitutional guarantees to the press. Not because the bill in question relates to advertising of alcohol, but for the broader reason that it impinges upon personal reason, it would also should study the measure seriously before committing themselves to its support —Cincinnati Enquirer.
