Many More Could Have Been Saved Had Value Been Felt Earlier—Young South American Surgeon First to Attract Attention of French Government to Carrel Treatment. Paris. — The official lethargy which for so long has impeded the development of the disinfectant fluid invented by H. D. Dakin and perfected by Dr. Alexis Carrel, both of the Rockefeller institute of New York, is rapidly giving way to a realization of the tremendous benefits accruing from its use. It remained for a young South American surgeon, Dr. Shutro, to attract the attention of the French government to DR. ALEXIS CARREL. The Carrel treatment. As a result of an appeal by American admirers of Dr. Carrel to M. Franklin-Bouillon, the latter persuaded the government, in the person of M. Painleve, to study at first hand the use of the Dakin fluid. The correspondent was present when the minister of public instruction, who was the first member of the cabinet to take such a step, visited the Buffon hospital, close by the Pasteur institute, to see for himself the miracles worked by Dr. Shutro with the treatment developed by Dr. Carrel. Dr. Shutro is perhaps the ablest of Dr. Carrel's few disciples in France. M. Painleve was astonished at the simplicity of the system, which is merely the washing of the wounds with bleaching lime diluted in water, with a percentage of soda added to neutralize the caustic effect of the lime. At the foot of each bedstead in the Buffon hospital is strapped a wooden post, to which a bottle containing the fluid, plink in color, is attached. From the bottle a thin rubber tube carries the solution to four small glass tubes, from which the wound is flushed every two hours. Thus the dressings are kept moist and the wound is freed from infection. WOULD EGG HENS ON TO LAY Food Eugenist Has Plan to Control Their Output. Washington.—Out of the din and clamor for federal legislation to dea1 a solar plexus blow to the high cost of living came a unique and eugene suggestion from a southern representative. The legislator announced his intention of introducing a resolution for compulsory egg control for bens. He expressed belief that it might be easy to curb output, but was perplexed as to the practicability of speeding up the lay to any appreciable extent. He says, however, he believes his plan makes the matter of investigation pale into insignificance. Pays For Fan Stolen Years Ago. Greenville, S. C.—A woman who is seeking to "make peace with her Maker," as she expresses it, and who finds that something is hindering her has sent to a local dry goods company 25 cents to pay for a fan which, she says, she took from that company twenty-five years ago. The woman now lives in North Carolina. In the letter she stated that she stole the fan and that her conscience has hurt her. Railroad Director at Sixteen. Aurora, Ill.—The youngest railroad director in the world lives in Aurora. The distinguished youngster is Henry Herbert Evans, sixteen years old. He was elected one of the Fox and Illinois Union railroad board at the last annual meeting. His father is secretary and treasurer of the railroad. The railroad is twenty two miles in length. Business Man Send Youths to Drive Care Around Black. Philadelphia.—Requirements for office boys have automatically risen with the new ordinance regulating the parking of automobiles in central streets of this city. Advertisements for "Boy Wanted" now conclude with something like this: "Must be experienced in driving motorcars or willing to learn." Here's the reason: Suburbanites who drive their cars to their offices in the city in the morning cannot leave the autos parked in the street as they could formerly. In a section of Chestnut street where there are several big office buildings, for example, cars must not be left standing for more than half an hour at a time. So every half hour the business man sends his office boy to the street to drive his auto around the block. If his office boy isn't a chauffeur the business man goes himself. But this takes valuable time, and, added to the expense of starting up the car and moving it around the block sixteen times a day for six days a week, it costs money. Hence the demand for office boys who are also chauffeurs. SPORTSMEN PLAN TO WIPE OUT THE ENGLISH SPARROW Will Ask Governor of Every State to Aid In Work. New York.—The League of American Sportsmen, whose object is the preservation of wild life, is considering the question of inaugurating a nation wide campaign for the destruction of the English sparrow. Its officials say this bird has made such headway here that it is driving out the smaller song and insectivorous birds and that it has become a question of whether we will have only the English sparrow to represent our bird life or destroy it and regain some fifty species of useful and beautiful birds that used to inhabit farms and countryside all over the land. The league intends to issue a proclamation declaring war on the English sparrow and setting aside a week, possibly in April or May of next year, to be devoted especially to waging it. The governor of every state will be asked to aid the work. Printed instructions as to the plan of the campaign will be sent to the mayors of all incorporated cities and villages, to the heads of the school systems in every county, to college presidents, to principals of preparatory schools, to the heads of the boy scouts in each state and to other organizations which might be expected to extend sympathy and aid. Four principal methods of action will be employed: Tearing down the nests, trapping the birds, shooting them under police supervision and under licenses issued by the police authorities, and, in cities where water pressure is available, turning the hose on the birds at night after they have gone to roost. WOMAN 100 YEARS OLD. Mrs. Van Sickle Takes Active Part In Her Birthday Celebration. Sussex, N. J.—Surrounded by her six children, twenty grandchildren and four great-grandchildren, to say nothing of a host of relatives, friends and neighbors, Mrs. Sarah Van Sickle of Wantage township, two miles from here, celebrated her one hundredth birthday. She took an active part in the celebration and urged the younger ones to dance and play games while she looked on and directed things. Mrs. Van Sickle was born and has lived in this part of New Jersey all her life. She said that her health was good and that she felt no older than she did thirty years ago. She is still able to read without the aid of glasses and is a daily reader of the newspapers. The sewing machine still claims much of her time, but she is not able to thread the needle as dexterously as once. BABEL OF TONGUES. Alien Residents to Be Taught English at Night Classes. Bayonne, N. J.—In an effort to Americanize this city Preston H. Smith, superintendent of schools here, will institute this fall and winter night classes for the instruction of its population in the English language. Of its 70,000 inhabitants Bayonne has 35,000 who speak foreign tongues. If these can be induced to adopt the language of the republic Mr. Smith believes that it will be better for business, better for education and much better in case of strikes. As he pointed out, when one side in a labor dispute does its arguing in a speech incomprehensible to the other side there is not much chance of a satisfactory settlement. Financier Some Farmer Too. Winsted—Connecticut farmers must take off their hats to George B. Case of Wall street, New York, who has grown on his estate in Norfolk one of the best crops of corn ever raised in the state. Here is what the crop cost him: Cost of plowing three and a half acres, $25; cost of phosphate, $40; cost of planting, $5; cost of cultivation, $30; cost of lime, $12.50; total, $12.50. Estimated yield of corn, 600 bushels, worth $300. Milwaukee Historical Society THE ST. PAUL AND MI THE APPEAL ASLEEP, NOT DEAD. Printer Woks Up In Time to Dodge the Coroner and Undertaker. Mount Pleasant, N. Y. - Harry Daugherty, a printer, was dead to all intents and purposes the other evening. The members of the household where he lived so reported to an undertaker and the coroner. The coroner immediately notified the man's parents of his death and asked the relatives if they wanted an investigation made. When the coroner and the undertaker, carrying a dead basket between them, opened the gate leading into the yard they met Dougherty, hale and hearty, going to work. Exhausted from a long day's work, Daugherty had lain down on the bed for a nap when another member of the household, seeing him, became frightened and, thinking him dead, notified the authorities. OPERATES ON RIGID JAWS. Surgeon Uses a Cushion of Fat to Make Them Work. Philadelphia. A patient whose jaws had been rigid for twenty years, who had never learned to talk and who had been obliged to obtain all his nourishment through a tube, was the subject of one of the many operations performed at the various clinics here as part of the activities of the clinical congress of surgeons of North America. The joints of the patient's jaws had hardened after an attack of scarlet fever when he was only a year old. Dr. W. Wayne Babcock laid open the stiffened joints, scraped away a hard bony substance which was found covering them and inserted a cushion of fat taken from another part of the man's body. AUTO AIDS GUNNERS Makes Adirondacks Accessible For Week End Trips. Utica, N. Y.—in most sections of the Adirondacks game is plentiful. More and more each year the automobile is being used by gunners, particularly those who live in the cities and towns near the forests. Thousands of hunters are going into the woods for week end trips, and machines are also used for the purpose of taking the hunters from one good ground to another. This of course relates to small game, and it is surprising how many good places can be covered by this method of gunning. The new law prohibits any gunning from an automobile, but the machine makes the innermost recesses of the forests accessible to the gunner who has a car. FLY SAVES .BOY'S LIFE Accidentally Discharged Bullet Only Hurt His Arm. La Crose, Wis.—A飞 saved the life of Carl Kaeeper, thirteen years old, while he was hunting in the vicinity of Swift creek with William Stellick, fifteen years old. Carl felt something irritating his forehead and raised his arm to brush the fly aside. At the same instant Stellick, who was only a few paces distant, accidentally discharged a rife he was carrying. The bullet passed through the fleshy part of young Kaeeper's arm and, although most of its force was spent, struck the boy in the head. Physicians said he probably would have been killed had not his arm been in the way of the bullet. COYOTE ATTACKS AUTOIST. After It Was Run Over 'It Wanted to Bite the Driver. Reno, Nev.-That a coyote that will attack the front end of any automobile traveling thirty miles an hour, allow himself to be run over and then get up and attack the driver of the car who out of curiosity stopped to see what damage was done must be mad is the opinion of P. Y. Gillson, who enjoyed this experience on Lakeview hill, near Carson, the other night. The coyote was game, according to Gillson, but was so badly cut up that it was easily driven off with rocks before it bit any one. Gillson was accompanied on the trip by County Commissioner Henrich. COUNTRY SHORT OF PENNIES. Mints Working Twenty-four Heures a Day to Relieve the Conditions. Washington. — What this country needs today is more pennies, says the treasury department. To that end the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints are working twenty-four hours a day and the Denver mint sixteen hours a day turning them out. A lot of reasons are given for the shortage, the chief one being the increased use of the copper coins, with every dealer in everything adding a penny every now and then. Baseball an Element in Will Fight. New York.—When Ernest G. Woez, millionaire brewer, on his deathbed ceased to ask whether the Giants won or lost, Katherine Haas, employed in the household, knew a "great change" had come. she testified in the $2,000,000 will contest before Surrogate Cohalan, in New York. Old Woman Starts Ranch. Salina, Kan.-Mrs. Minerva Conway, seventy years old, has gone to New Mexico, where she will settle on a claim under the rights of a civil war veteran's widow. She takes 220 acres adjoining a claim her son settled on two years ago. She will make it a stock ranch. --- APP NNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATU EXPLORING BRAZIL Wife of Dr. Rice With Party on Trip to Amazon. Dr. Rice Has Mapped About 100,000 Square Miles In Vicinity of Mightiest Stream In World—Yacht Protected With Rust Proof Screens to Ward Off Flying Pests. New York.—The people of the great forest are again to see Dr. A. Hamilton Rice. With Mrs. Rice he left on the yacht Alberta for the river of the Amazons to complete his explorations in the northwestern part of the basin of the mightiest stream in all the world. Mrs. Rice, who was formerly Mrs. George D. Wildener of Philadelphia, is herself interested in science and will help in the work of the expedition. She has been directing until recently the building and equipping of the great library at Harvard university which is a memorial to Mr. Wildener, who was lost on the steamship Titanic. The yacht will stop first at Barbados and then go up the Amazon to Manaos, Brazil, 950 miles from the coast, and then into the Rio Negro to Santa Isa- DR. ALEXANDER H. RICE. bel, the base of the explorations. The region to which Dr. Rice and the scientists accompanying him are to give their attention is bounded on the north by the Guaviare river, on the west by the Andes, on the south by the Caqueta river and on the east by the Rio Negro. The territory included in the plan comprises parts of Brazil, Venezuela and Colombia. Dr. Rice has mapped about 100,000 square miles of this region. He proposes to make a survey of the tributaries of the Rio Negro and to complete as nearly as he can the maps of enormous tracts yet practically unexplored. So well equipped is this expedition that it is expected that it will accomplish more work in the six months it will be away than could be done in twice that period under ordinary conditions. The yacht Alberta is in herself a veritable floating citadel armed against trouble. One of the plagues of tropical South America comes from the insects. There are many flies and mosquitoes that inflict painful bites and cause disease. To ward off the flying pests Dr. Rice has had the Alberta equipped with rustproof screens of fine copper mesh, so that every deck and every port hole will be protected. There are other insects to be guarded against, among them various kinds of ants. One of the worst of them is the leaf cutting ant, the saubra, which will eat up the ordinary tarletan mosquito net as though it were so much cobweb. In the account of one of his previous expeditions Dr. Rice tells how the ants devoured not only a mosquito net, but a pair of trousers and the pockets of his coat. The tabano or blood sucking fly is a menace to life in this part of the Amazon basin. The chigos burrow into the skin and cause intense suffering. With the copper mesh screens and with other appliances for warding off the insects, the party expects to reduce the discomfort from this source to the minimum. SIX HOUR DAY IN SING SING Warden Cuts Down Labor of the Convicts. Ossining, N. Y.—The six hour day has arrived in Sing Sing. By order of Warden Derrick the prisoners quit work in the various shops at 3 o'clock instead of 4, as was the custom before this time. The men start work at 8 in the morning and in the middle of the day have an hour off for dinner. With the shortening of the day Warden Derrick announced the men must work steadily. An Egg Every Day. Baltimore, Md.—Mitchell Lingo of Trinity, near Federalburg, says he has the champion egg layer in a two-year-old hen. The hen has laid in the same spot in the barn all year, and Lingo, backed by officials of that town, states that she laid 365 eggs last year. Defective Page AEROPLANES QUICKEST SUBMARINE ANTIDOTE Speed and Range of Vision Three Times That of Destroyer. Washington.—Rear Admiral Peary, chairman of the National Aerial Coast Patrol Commission, when the break with Germany came emphasized the bearing of the critical international situation on the necessity for an adequate aeroplane coast patrol. "If congress," he went on, "should order the immediate mobilization of all air men in the country and the training of 5,000 aviators, should enlist the various aerial organizations and interests of the country in registering applicants and should make mandatory the training of 2,500 aviators in six months and of the entire 5,000 in a year it would go far toward remedying a present defect in our defense which presents possibilities of the gravest danger. "The aeroplane will be the quickest and cheapest antidote for the submarine. Its speed and range of vision are three times that of the fastest destroyers. It can detect and follow a submarine that is entirely invisible to any surface craft. It can destroy the submarine when it comes near the surface. One thousand hydroaeroplanes along our Atlantic coast will double the efficiency of our destroyers and mosquito fleet and increase the value of our coast protection from 200 to 300 per cent." BEAN SHOOTER MINDS MAKE RACE OF BORES All Too Much Alike, Says Dr. Vincent, Rockefeller Foundation Head. Chicago.—Dr. George Edgar Vincent, president of the University of Minnesota and president elect of the Rockefeller foundation, spoke on "Crowd Psychology" to 500 members of the Chicago Dental society at their fifty-third annual banquet. Some of his epigrams were: "The truth is, we are so much alike that we bore each other almost to distraction." "Some people have tubular minds, like bean shooters. You load them at one end and shoot the contents out of the other." "Idiots and children are the only ones you cannot hypnotize." "A society for the suppression of the obvious remark would soon fill a city block." Dr. Vincent is one of the most rapid of after dinner orators. His humor found ready response from the members of the society and their wives and daughters. He said that his standards of ideals were abstractions from human personality. "The hard headed person," he ended, "is one into whose brain you cannot drill an idea when he is not looking." PONDER FIRST RECRUIT. Postmistress Gets Reward of $5 For "Soldier of the Sea." Atlanta, Ga.—Ye feminine is rapidly outstripping her masculine rivals in military affairs, as a postmistress, like Joan of Arc, leads in the lure of the fighting man. In the activities of the postmaster campaign for recruits for the United States marine corps the first person to receive the $5 reward for the securing of a recruit for the "soldiers of the sea" was a woman, Miss Mary Rudhill, handler of the mails in Forsyth, Ga., who enlisted Richard Lewis Powder of that place, according to First Sergeant Ernest H. Galway of the local marine corps recruiting station. "There may be nothing in a name," mused Galway, "but he was the first, and that makes one ponder." SAWS WOOD AT NINETY-TWO. Having Finished Job, Says He Wants Pickerel While Ice Lasts. New York.-Garrett Iseman, ninety-two years old, dung the last neatly cloven stick on a seven foot woodpile behind his house at Sparkill, Rockland county, and went up to the attic to overhaul his fishing tackle. Having finished sawing and splitting his winter's wood supply, he is going after some pickerel while the ice lasts. "You won't find any knots slung under the house either," he told neighbors who complimented him on his vigor. Iseman worked on the first train that ran over the Erie railroad and was an engineer on that line for forty years. He retired more than thirty years ago. WEDS HIS STEPMOTHER Queer Family Tangle Arises After the Marriage. Gallipolis, O.-Willard Houser was married recently to Mrs. Stella Houser, his stepmother, who is the mother of three children by Houser's father. Houser's father died three months ago. The newlyweds reside at Chapman, Jackson county, near here. By Willard's marriage to his stepmother he becomes stepfather as well as half brother to his wife's children. Chinese Coins on Women's Hats. Sioux City, Ia.—War prosperity has caused milliners here to add a fifth season to the four now recognized by the trade. The new one has a style all its own, say dealers, the advance in price of Chinese coins from 8 cents to $1.50 having lent charm to them as decorations for women's hats. CHINA FINDS IT HARD TO DISBAND ITS ARMY Soldiers Love Their Job, and If Not Paid They Loot. Peking.—China's toughest problem now is how to disband the army raised during the revolution. The government, hard pressed for money, will have to raise at least $30,000,000 to pay off the 800,000 men under arms, and unpaid soldiers are always a menace in China. Coolies regard military service as a very desirable occupation. Once enlisted it is difficult to persuade them to retire. They riot and become extremely troublesome if an attempt be made to disband them without liberal payment. The commanding officers are frequently as mercenary as the soldiers. When the government fails to give its soldiers what they regard as adequate pay the troops frequently become bandits and loot. Each province has its own military governor and a distinct military organization, presumably under control of the Peking authorities, but actually in most cases. Consequently the Peking government is forced to deal very diplomatically with the military organizations in the provinces, particularly in the remote provinces. HARVARD MAN FOILS SUN WITH INVENTION Presses a Button In Bed and the Window Shade Goes Down as if by Magic. Cambridge, Mass. — Every morning at 7 o'clock Henry R. Guild of Boston, a Harvard senior, rolls over in bed. Seven o'clock is too early for a senior to get up, so Mr. Guild presses a button and the shade at the distant end of his chamber rolls down as if by magic. No rising sun is going to make him leave his bed unseasonably. Some morning he may miss a four alarm fire by pressing the button, but he's willing to take the chance, he asserts. Getting up at 7 a. m. is a high crime at Harvard, the same as admitting Yale has a 'good football team this year. Henry Guild framed up a motor, attached to the curtain string and laid wires to his bedside. When the sun throws its rays into his bedroom every morning, weather permitting, he presses a button and the curtain fills faster than in a vaudeville theater. Mr. Guild's next invention probably will be a trap door to throw tiresome professors into the cellar by means of a button that any student can press. Life's attendant inconveniences aren't going to bother him while electricity can do the work. FIREMAN SAVES BABY Climbed on Pilot of Locomotive, Lifted Infant From Track. La Crosse, Wis.-Coon valley residents are talking of applying for a Carnegie medal for Fireman Peter Hensgen of the La Crosse and Southeastern. He was in a freight engine cab when he saw a child in the distance on the track. It was down grade and the brakes were slow to grip. Hensgen climbed out along the footboard to the pilot, grasped a rod and leaned down. He grabbed the sleeping child with his free hand and lifted her from the track. The child was the little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Jacobson. She had wandered away in the afternoon and lay down tired between the rails and went to sleep. NEW DIMES IN CIRCULATION $180,000 Worth of Coins Distributed by the Philadelphia Mint. Philadelphia. — The new ten cent pieces which have been coined in large quantities at the Philadelphia mint were recently put into circulation for the first time, about $180,000 worth being distributed to banks and trust companies. They were introduced simultaneously in the western states from the Denver mint. The obverse side of the new dime shows a head of Liberty in profile, while the reverse side shows a bundle of rods in the center and the protruding battleaxel, symbols of unity. Surrounding the central design is an olive wreath, denoting peace. The new coins are expected to be in general circulation within a few days. Child Escapes Coyote Bend, Ore.—Attracted to the dooryard by an unusual noise being made by her flock of turkeys, Mrs. Thomas Merchant, living east of Bend, found a coyote running toward her little girl who was playing in the yard. The animal was frothing at the mouth and is believed to have been rabid. Mrs. Merchant had just time to snatch her daughter up and return to the house before the coyote reached the spot where the little girl was at play. Ants Kill Bees. Oakland, Cal.—Dr. J. H. Callen, who had two bives of bees, much alive, on his Fruitvale avenue property, is now occupied in cleaning out two bives of dead bees, victims of an unsuccessful Verdun defense against a horde of marauding ants. The evidence shows that the ants attacked in solid mass formation, carrying the bees' first, second and third line of trenches and then attacking the entrances to the bives. $2.40 PER YEAR Financier Sees Somme Battle From an Aeroplane. BEHIND THE GERMAN LINES. Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co. Courses Leisurely Up and Down In Wide Circles Over Battlefield For an Hour, Watching Mighty Drama Directly Below. New York.—To climb into a French armed aeroplane during moments of a terrific final assault on the Somme, then to course leisurely up and down and in wide circles over the battlefield for an hour watching between ones snow sites the mighty drama directly below and finally to fly more than three miles straight back over the Germans' country during the battle and get away with it—that would be a flying trip which most Americans would want to talk about when they got home. But not so Henry P. Davison of J. P. Morgan & Co., who arrived "home from the wars" on the American liner Philadelphia, accompanied by Ma. Da- W. vison and daughter, Miss Alice. Mr. Davison had done all those things in the air while in France, but he did not seem to think much of the experience. Mr. Davison said that he ascended at Peronne. The French officer first had taken him to a great height—about a mile—and then had swung out over the great guns booming far below. The biplane in which they flew, Mr. Davison said, was arranged admirably for observation of the bombardments and infantry fighting below, and the great height at which he viewed the battle—it was on Sept. 27 last—enabled him to look down upon a tremendous sweep of battle ridden country at all times. He had made a pretty thorough tour of the trenches at Verdun also, he said in answer to further questions about experiences at the front. Then he had devoted six days solely to traveling by automobile and on foot along the whole line of trenches from Verdun to the British trenches on the Somme. On a nearby table as he spoke was a rusty looking German helmet and a rustler shell case which he had picked up on battlefields, and on the same table was the gray blue steel helmet of France which General Petain had given to him to wear in the trenches. "No, it wasn't altogether idle curiosity that took me to the front." Mr. Davison said in reply to a final question. "As somebody has put it, there was an opportunity to see history in the making and I took it, not through curiosity, but because I wanted to learn something of military advancement at first hand." POTATOES LIFT MORTGAGE Jersey Farmer Raises 9,200 Barrels on Eighty Acres. Red Bank, N. J. — Henry Holmdel raised 9,200 barrels of potatoes on eighty acres this year. This was at the rate of over 110 barrels and acre. With the proceeds from the yield he paid off a $20,000 mortgage still remaining on his farm, which he purchased three years ago for $57,000, paying $7,500 down. Holmdel's crops on 150 acres, where he didn't plant potatoes, returned for the year a profit which the farmer calls "pure velvet." Ring Upon a Radish. Tiffin, O. — Four years ago Mrs. W. H.

CHICAGO ROUTS SEGREGATION. THE APPEAL has been greatly in terested im the development of the segregation spirit in Chieigo and dis gusted with the knowledge that cer tain colored men were aiding it, For reasons best known to them selves certain colored real estate deat ers in Chicago attempted to commit the entire colored population to the Jim-crow plans of a section of the Real Estate Board. George H. Jackson, a colored real estate dealer, was one of the colored mombers of the committee to con: sider the question. Learning that he Was a segregationist at heart, the edt tor of THE APPEAL addressed him the following letter: St. Paul, Minn., April 11, 1917. pe George H. Jackson, 3416 Vernon Avenue, Chicago, Mlinois, My dear sir: I was dumbfounded to read in the Chicago Tribune that you have prac tically indorsed segregation, I trust that you have not beer quoted correctly, for it is not to the ad vancement of the colored people for a colored man to give utterance to any sentiment which may be construed in any way to mean that even one col ored person favors giving up the fun damental rights of citizenship. Your desire to live in a colored neighborhood is a wish which may be easily gtatified, but to say that the colored people must be restricted by law or even by public opinion, to a ghetto, is quite another thing, and is un-American and un-Christian, Owing to your great wealth, what you say will have great influence, 80 I hope for the future of your children and your children’s children and for the injury you may do others now and in the time to come you will not lightly cast aside inherent rights which once lost may never be re- gairted. T have never heard of or read of a Jew who publicly advocated the plac: ing of any restriction upon his people. There is a so-called ghetto on the THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man who in the consci- entious 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. West Side in Chicago, but you know it was not established by law. You know further, that Rosenwald, Rabbi Hirsch and~other Jews most promi- nent in Chicago's business, banking, industrial and religious world, are not residents of it, ‘They get as far away as they can. There is no doubt about ‘their loyalty to the Jewry, but they neither advocate segregation nor re- side “among their people.” I ask you to kindly think this matter over and do nothing which you may regret. later. Very truly yours, J. @. ADAMS, Editor THE APPEAL. Jackson did not reply to the courte- ous letter, but signed the “agreement” which was intended to doom himself jand his people to the ghetto. The colored people of Chicago, to their honor let it be said, refuse to |allow Jackson to deliver them bound hand and foot to the enemy. A num- ‘ber of prominent leaders were pres- ent at the meeting of the Real Estate Board. After the secretary read a few lines of the “agreement,” enough to jgive them an idea of ite drift, théy were so disgusted that they refused to listen further and withdrew in a body, leaving Jackson alone in his shame. ‘The Chicago papers now say that the Real Estate Board will drop it and {the matter is a “closed incident” 0 far ‘as the Real Estate Board is concerned.

Cardinal Mercier, primate of Bel- sium, in his Lenten pastoral letter, although in danger of his life, did not hesitate to pay a glowing tribute to the courage and devotion of the Bel- ‘wlan people in their fight for liberty. He aid not, as many of the colored churchmen do, tell his people that “it is the will of the Lord that we should [be oppressed and a Jot of rot like that, but lauded their loyalty’ to theli ‘country and praised their retention of self-respect under oppression. ‘Under the heading, “The Moral Grandeur of the Nation,” Cardinal Mercier says ‘ “Brethren of our armies of Liege, Haelen, Antwerp, the Yser and Ypres, the Kameruns and East Africa, it is you who are our foremost ‘purveyors of energy, “Our good wishes follow in the wake of these valiant men; all form a guard of honor, proud and faithful, for our magnanimous sovereign, who from a sandbank, which now. is all of his kingdom, gives to Belgium, and to the whole world a perfect example of en- durance and of faith in the future. “We have listened to the mighty Voices of wives and mothers; through their tears they have prayed God to ‘sustain their courage and fidelity to the honor of their husbands and sons carried off by force to the enemy's factories.

After this can it be necessary to preach courage to you?” Of course money is a matter of lttle moment to so grand a man as Cardinal ‘Mercier, but it is pleasing to note that the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences yesterday awarded to Car- }dinal Mercier, primate of Belgium, its grand prize of 15,000 francs ($3,000), destined to recompense “the finest and Eee acts of devotion of whatever kind” FAILURE TO FIGHT CosTLy. ‘That strong defender of true Ameri- canism, the Cleveland Gazette, edited ‘by Hon.

These things have all crept upon us since emancipation and the elevation to a citizenship supposed to be equal to that of all other Ameri- cans.’ We have lost ground, South and North, because we have not fought, and when we have resisted, have lacked leadership, while other supposed leaders have played into the hands of our enemies. As a race, we have been burlesqued, abused and hu- millated by the thoughtless (some, members of the race), as well as by those hostile to’ our interests, simply because there was lacking proper re- sentment on our part and a determi- nation to take a stand for our rights with all the power at our command, ‘The world loves a MAN, a fighter! on who thinks as nmuch of himself as any other like creature on earth, To such aggressive MEN, unjust restric- tions will in the end yield and break down, because they will ever refuse to recognize them.

Give Up Potatoes For Other Foods. Potatoes are not now the "poor man's food," says R. W. Thatcher, chief of the division of agricultural biochemistry, University Farm. Potatoes contain, on the average, 78 per cent of the division's 22 per cent of actual food material. A pound of potatoes, therefore, contains only a little over 13 pounds of actual food substance. At the present retail price of potatoes, $3.20 a bushel, each pound of food which they contain costs over 24 cents. A pound of rice which contains 88 per cent of food and 12 per cent of water costs $8½ cents, so that one pound of food almost exactly like that in potatoes can be bought as rice for a little less than 10 cents. A ten-cent bread contains about 12 ounces of food and 8 ounces of water; hence a pound of food is much a much better balanced food than either rice or potatoes, can be bought for 12½ cents. Wheat flour furnishes a pound of food at a cost of 6 cents. At present prices, potatoes are four times as costly as wheat flour, twice as expensive as baker's bread, and two and a half times as expensive as rice, the food which most closely resembles them in the character of food furnished. People can well afford to stop eating potatoes altogether until the price falls to less than half what it is at present.

Get The Right Sorts Of SeedS FROM HOLM & OLSON 20 W. 5th Street, St. Paul While From Appearances Was in the Vigor of Manhood, He Was Stricken By the Grim Monster and Fell a Victim to His Deadly Shafts. No death recently was more unexpected and none so shocked this community more forcibly than that of Mr. William Hopkins Johnson, who died at his home, 948 Union street, on Friday morning of last week, aged 39 years. Mr. Johnson was the only son of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Johnson, 281 Randolph street, and was born in New Orleans. He attended the public schools of that city and subsequently graduated from Southern University, also located there. After leaving school he took up the torsional art which was one of the most lucrative professions of the Crescent City at that time and developed into a splendid artist. He came to St. Paul about twenty years ago and followed several avocations more or less successfully. He met, wooded and won handsome Mr. Hopkins, the daughter of the well known and highly esteemed Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Farr, and the result of their matrimonial alliance is three girls and a boy, who are left to mourn his early demise. After his marriage, Mr. Johnson, who was both ambitious and efficient, took the study of civil engineering and drafting, graduated and followed the profession until his death. He was quite proficient as a draftsman and was employed in the State Drainage Department for twelve years. One of the largest and most complete maps ever exhibited in this city was made by the deceased. He was the designer of the beautiful charter of National Grand Lodge of the Independent Benevolent Progressive Order WILLIAM HOPKINS JOHNSON. of Elks of the World and for several years was an officer of the Grand Lodge. He also served a term as Exalted Ruler of Gopher Lodge No. 105 of this city, in which he has always been a very faithful member, and was several times sent by the lodge as its delegate to represent it at the Grand Lodge. He was one of the organizers of the Knights of Alpha and was Sir Knight Controller, or presiding officer, of Eureka Assembly No. 1 (now defunct). The deceased was a man of excellent parts, both as to appearance and ability and was held high by all who knew him. He was frugal and industrious and was the owner of a handsome home in which he lived very happily with his family. For some months recently he had some apparently minor physical troubles, which had probably undermined his constitution to such an extent that he was not able to successfully combat the insidious attack of pneumonia that sent him to his bed and from the effects of which he died one week later. In funeral of the deceased was held at his late residence last Monday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock under the auspices of Gopher Lodge No. 105. I. B. P. O. E. W, the ritualistic exercises being conducted by Exalted Ruler, George W. Stewart. The funeral service was read by Rev. A. H. Lealadt, rector of St. Philips Episcopal church. A solo, "Beneath the Cross of Jesus," a favorite of the deceased, was very sweetly sung by Miss Lucille Elliott, accompanied on the piano by Mayme Luckey. The floral tributes were very beautiful and quite numerous. Notably among them was the usual emblem of the Elks and those sent by Secretary of State, Julius A. Schmahl; present President of the State Drainage Department, E. V. Willard; former President of State Drainage Department, G. A. Pugh; County Treasurer, M. J. O'Malley; and Union Benevolent Association. The palbearers were: R. M. Johnson, G. W. Stewart, Geo. Shannon, D. E. Beasley, Harold Cage and Chas. Saunders.
