Battlefields and Castles of Leading Interest After Paris Has Been Seen. Chantilly, France.—The progress of the sightseeing dugbough through France, after he gets through with battle fronts, is from one beautiful spot to another. Of course, the battle fronts come first, and the Y. M. C. A. trips to Chateau-Thierry, Beauleau Wood, Rheims, Soissons and the Chemin-des-Dames are so popular that the boys have to draw lots every day for the coveted free tickets for 100 persons can be taken on each trip. But all the other trips the Y. M. C. A. has arranged for American soldiers and sailors are studies in beauty and art and history amid pleasures and palaces, and the eagerness and intelligence with which the boys go on these expeditions is plain evidence of their essential soundness of heart and mind. The first day, as a rule, the boys get aboard the big "Y". sightseeing automobiles and see Paris. Then they go by special train to the palaces of Versailles, Fontainebleau, Malmaison and St. Germain. Next they come back to Paris and spend a day in the Louvre. And then those still been visiting the city to take another trip to the jewel of all the, the fountain chateau of the Condes and Montmorency at Chantilly. Thousands of American soldiers have visited Chantilly this year and have learned something of a place which many wealthy tourists overlooked. Indeed, though many Americans visited Chantilly in years before the war, a large percentage of them saw only the race course and never visited the chateau. Yet many experts hold that though a number of other museums outrank it in size, nowhere in the world—not excepting the Louvre—is there a more exquisite collection of objects of art. WHISKERS AS OLD AS HE IS And Former County Auditor in California is Hevering Near the Eighty Mark. Santa Ana, Cal.-Who's got the oldest whiskers? the towns have entered contestants in the race for oldest hirsute adornments, but Santa Ana only now jumps into the fray with a set of whiskers skxy one years old. If anybody can beat that, let them come forward or forever hold their peace. The proud possessor of the aged beard is J. H. Hall, former auditor of Orange county, who is now dividing his time between Santa Ana and the East. Captain Hall, a G. A. R. man, never hates him, and the whiskers which now adorn his face are on the roots of the "tuzz" which showed up when he was in his teens. BLIND, HANDS GONE, WRITES Crippled Soldier Becomes Competent Typist Through Patient Training. London—Blind and deprived of both hands, Sergt. Alan M. Nichols of the Second Durham light infantry refused to be classed as an "unemployable," and today can write letters as proficiently as any normal stenographer. Nichols' restoration to a self-supporting basis was accomplished through patient training, a specially constructed typewriter, a pair of artificial aluminum hands and his own indomitable spirit. Recently he passed a writing test of two hours and fifteen minutes, his "copy" necessitating only two corrections. Wants to Change Absurd Name. New York—Justice Callahan, in the supreme court, has reserved decision in the application of Loon Aboue Beck to change his name to Leo Atalail. Aboue Beck said he was born in Damascus, Syria, February 10, 1877, and has three children. The name Aboue Beck, he said, means "father of cooking," and is so absurd that it has all his life subjected him to ridicule. He said he wanted to prevent his children from enduring the same ridicule. Bathes in Well; Regains Sight. London—Almost blind since September, 1915. Joseph Cushaw, ex-soldier, bathed several times in St. Winfred's well, North Wales, and has recovered his sight, he says. VOL. 35. NO. 52 JOBS SCARCE FOR BRITISH SOLDIERS Officer, Honored by King George, Finds It Impossible to Get Work. MAY COME TO UNITED STATES Reports 'Come From All Over the Country of Difficulty Demobilized Officers Have In Obtaining Employment. London—From all parts of the country come reports of the difficulty demobilized officers are having to find jobs. Those former officers with wives and families to support are in many cases living on meager pensions. One of the most remarkable cases of unemployment is that of a Cambridge university graduate who for the greater part of the war held an important command in the army and subsequently a temporary post of great responsibility in a government department. He is armed with a letter from the war office thanking him for his services and adding: "There are few people with greater organizing ability, more charming manners, greater tact and drive than yourself." Honored by King George. Another letter to him from Sir Auckland Geddes, president of the board of trade, expresses "warm personal thanks for your loyal and devoted cooperation in very difficult work." King George bestowed on him the order of Commander of the British Empire. Bell these credentials have been of no avail for suitable employment in this country, and, in despair, he says that he is going to America next month. Ex-officiers have discovered that the business world regards long military service as a disadvantage rather than an asset. An infant captain, 43 years old, with wife and three children, said: "I have farmed in South Africa, served with the Natal-mounted police, and prospected for gold. I want an outdoor job connected with agriculture, with a minimum salary of $1,250. I cannot get one and I have applied for a small holding, but am told I may have to wait twelve months." Offered Half Old Salary. Another former officer reporter his firm would take him back at half his prewar salary, saying that was the best they could do, as trade was so bad. "Some companies don't know there has been a war on," commented a job-seeking ex-officio who before he went into army was the head clerk in an insurance office. "My people have offered me $450 a year, and I am 26." PERSHING GIVES TO FRANCE More than $10,000 Donated by General and Staff to Red Cross for Orphans. Washington. — General Pershing's final days in France contained an incident which is disclosed in a report just reaching national headquarters of the American Red Cross from Paris. It was a gift of $94,625.40 francs, more than $10,000 from General Pershing and the officers of his staff to the Red Cross to be devoted to some deserving work among the mothers and children of France who suffered in the war. Several weeks ago, it now is revealed, a chaplain attached to General Pershing's headquarters visited American Red Cross headquarters in Paris, asking to be shown the various phases of the work being carried on. The check, bearing Pershing's signature, was the result, reaching the Red Cross the day the general bade farewell to France. A letter accompanying the donation stipulates that the money be placed in the "Stars and Stripes" war orphan fund, which assisted by the Red Cross, has "adopted" thousands of French children whose fathers were killed in battle, insuring for them support and the means of educating themselves. CLASH OVER ORIENTAL RICE Chinese and Japanese in Hawaii Accuse One Another of Profiteering. Honolulu, Hawaii. — Japanese and Chinese of Honolulu have, temporarily at least, found the Shantung controversy overshadowed by a new issue, the rice supply. Because of an embargo on the exportation of Japanese rice, Hawaii is threatened with a grave shortage of this oriental food staple. Hoarding and profiteering, it is said, are adding to the gravity of the situation. Japanese and Chinese agree on this point, but each nationality charges the other with doing the hoarding and profiteering. Curfew for Pianos Appleton, Wis.—It will be a misdemeanor for anyone to play a piano or other musical instrument in his home here after 11 p. m., if the common council adopts a proposed ordinance. The ordinance provides a fine of from $1 to $25 or imprisonment in jail for not more than ten days. The ordinance is aimed at saloon men who have been permitting piano playing in their business places at all hours of the night since July 1. Sight Large Sea Serpent; Immune to Bullets. Reno, Nev.—Doubt not the authenticity of this, for the nation went dry long since. Four hunters report a sea serpent 25 feet long in Yuramid Lake, largest fresh water body west of the Great Lakes. It has huge fins and a serpent's tail, comes to the surface of the water and its hide is impregnable to bullets. The hunters who shot the animal but who report it dived after being hit unhurt are J. S. Neff, Mike Nagy, W. J. Neff and M. Gent. They were camping on the shore of the lake when the monster was first sighted, they said. Wants to Change Absurd Name THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919 CENSUS TO SHOW GREAT CHANGES CENSUS TO SHOW GREAT CHANGES Remarkable Shifts in Population in United States Because of European War. CALCULATIONS ARE UPSET Figures for 1920 Expected to Reveal Striking Changes in Growth and Character of Population of This Country. Washington.-Striking changes in the growth and character of the population of the United States are expected to be shown by the 1920 census, preparations for which are under way. The shifting of population because of the war has upset the calculation of census experts, who since 1917 have considered it useless to attempt to estimate population of any other units than states. Before that it was possible to predict with a fair degree of accuracy the number of persons in any given locality. The "center of population," it is believed, has stopped its westward movement, which was continuous from 1790 to 1910, when it was located in Bloomington, Ind. This is because industrial cities in the central east, such as Cleveland and Detroit, have been growing at a greatly increased rate during recent years, as have manufacturing centers farther east. Formerly, the Rocky mountain and Pacific coast states increased in population with twice the rapidity of eastern and central states. modifications are seen. During this year, however, certain modifications of the usual situation may be the opening of reclamation projects in the area of the consumption of immigration, and other causes, it is thought, will change the abnormal distribution. There will also be a tendency to return to normal now that the war has ended. Pronounced changes are expected also in the "constitution of the population"—the ratio of males to females, the proportions of native and foreign stock and the age distribution. When a city experiences a rapid growth due to industrial and commercial activity the gain in population is largely made up of persons in the young and early middle ages. Among these persons there will be more men than women. For example, in Oklahoma City, where the population grew nearly 500 per cent between 1900 and 1910, the ratio of males to females in the latter year was 126 to 100, and 62 per cent of the population was between 15 and 45. Percentage of Negroes Drops. The coming census is also expected to show continuation of the movement from the country to the city which has been going on for many decades. A further decrease in the proportion of negro population is expected. In 1900 negroes numbered 11.6 per cent and in 1910 10.7 per cent. It is expected that the percentage of foreign-born will show a marked decline, due to the discontinuance of immigration. In recent years the native-born population did not increase as rapidly as the foreign-born. Fewer persons will be found, it is predicted, who are unable to speak English. In 1910 this number was 28.8 per cent of the population. The law requires the census bureau to make an actual count every ten years, and an estimate for cities and states every year by arithmetical progression. Since 1917, however, the bureau has not estimated cities. STOWAWAY 4 TIMES IS HELD Girl Who Finally Gets Into America Passing as Coal Passer, is Arrested. New York.—After her fourth attempt to reach the United States from England as a stowaway had failed, Elsie Wilson, twenty-two years old, cut her hair short, dressed herself in sailor's clothes and succeeded in arriving in New York as a coal passer. The sequel was her arrest in Hoboken as a disorderly person and her subsequent arraignment in the recorder's office. "My home is near Liverpool," she said, "but things were so bad in England that I wanted to get away from it all and come to New York. Please don't send me back. I will take anything you want to give me here but if I go back I'll get years." She was held for the federal authorities on a charge of having landed without a passport. Child Hurt by Log. Maryville, Cal.-G. F. Williams brought his little daughter from Rackeby to a local hospital, recently, for treatment for injuries she received when struck by a rolling log, a twig of which entered her mouth and pierced her neck, pinning her to the ground. An operation may be necessary, but it is believed the child will recover. Williams was sawing a log on the side of the hill, it is understood. His two small daughters were standing below on the hill watching him. As the log went hurtling down the hill it struck both children. The other girl was only slightly hurt. BEGAN YEAR WELL Card Read 'Scatter Seeds of Kindness," and Old Man's Heart Responded. Before the bright logs of a satisfying fire sat a man wrinkled on a wall, a companion was a pipe, old enough to be wrinkled, if it was not. The only holiday wreaths in evidence were those slowly arising from the bowl of the aforesaid pipe. Lying near him on a table was an unopened envelope addressed in his name which a few minutes previously he had taken from an R. F. D. metal box near once had hung a gate. He glanced at the envelope meditatively. Yes, it bore his name, and above the name was the picture of an old, white-haired man adorned with a flowing robe and laboring under the bur- Who Would Wish Him Happiness? den of a scythe. Just beneath the picture were the words: "Happy New Year." Who could it be wishing him such happiness? Quickly his hand sought the recesses of his trousers pocket. Out he drew his serviceable jack-knife. Silently he cut the envelope and pulled from within it a dainty card on which was engraved these words: HAPPY NEW YEAR. Scatter Seeds of Kindness "Scatter seeds of kindness," came from his lips. And why not? Perhaps he had not been thoughtful enough of others. Perhaps he had not, when occasion offered, helped those who could not help themselves. An hour later he arose and went to his bed. "Scatter seeds of kindness." The words seemed to be burning into his brain. Finally he lulled him to sleep. He dreamed a good deed performed without hope of reward. In the morning he awoke. It was the first morn of the new year. Going to the window he gazed up at the blue sky. He saw silhouetted there those words: "Scatter seeds of kindness." His eyes beheld the immaculate new-fallen snow, and there he also seemed to see the words: "Scatter seeds of kindness." Descending the creaking stairway, he went silently to the place where his treasure was hidden. In the recesses of the closet his hand went carefully until it came in contact with three small parcels. He handled them as anyone would a hoarded treasure. Quickly he made his way to the kitchen, where quietly he drew back the bolt and with a tread he tipped to the vicinity of his back fence. Before unsealing the three treasured packets he read on each: "Early Cabbage," "Hardy Onions," "Mammoth Radishes." Filling his wrinkled hands with the precious seeds—which had been a gift of his beneficient congressman—he quickly threw them in the midst of a surprised but happy bunch of his—neighbor's chickens. "Scatter seeds of kindness," he repeated, as he retraced his steps. "And they might just as well have 'em now as in the spring when I thought to plant them." That was a happy New Year's day for the old man—to say nothing of the chickens.—Yonkers Statesman. WHEE! 1920 ELLS SENATORS ABOUT BEEF COSTS ELLS SENATORS ABOUT BEEF COSTS This May Throw Some Light on the Price You Pay for Beefsteak. Testifying recently before a body of senators in Washington, a vice-president of one of the large packing concerns (F. Edison White of Armour and Company) made the astounding statement that so far in their fiscal year, which would cover the past eight or nine months, his company had "made no money whatever on beef." This statement is doubtless well high incredible to the average man. Yet it was made in full knowledge that the senators had access to the company's books. Recovering from the first shock, this same average man will say, "Yes, but the packers are shrewd; what they do not make on the beef they more than make up on the hides." But even this illusion was destined to be shattered. Mr. White explained that his statement included everything that was derived from the steer as purchased—the hide, fat, even the intestines which are used largely for sausage casings. Make Money. Nevertheless. Well the packers make money—how do they do it? Mr. White admitted that they did, quoting figures secured by auditors of the Food Administration, to the effect that packers' profits on food commodities of all kind last year were 1 6/10 cents on each dollar taken in. These would include such things as sausage, shortening, canned meats, etc., in addition to fresh meats, hams and bacon. On all the products of his company, Mr. White explained, comprising both foods and inedible commodities, the profits during the same period were 1 8/10 cents on each dollar sale. All of which would lead many to suspect that the packing business is not well suited to the task. Yet as one of the leading industries of the try, its workings and, above all, its profits, should be familiar matters to us. It is quite useless to orate against the high cost of living without digging into some of these fundamentals. By-Products at Market Values. One of the most enlightening bits of Mr. White's testimony _was_ his explanation of the way in which cost price of beef is arrived at. If a steer is bought at $12.50 and hides are bringing $16.00 in the open market, then $16.00 is credited to the cost of the steer. If hides are selling at $23.00 that amount is credited. The visceral fat, offal and everything else that comes from the steer are likewise credited at their prevailing market values. What remains is taken as the cost price of the meat. The beef carcass is then shipped to one of the locations where the profit is made by the manager there is given the cost price with instructions to sell the beef at a profit if he can. But in any event, whether the local market be lively or dull, he must sell for what he can get, for the commodity is a perishable one and must be sold. Manufacturer's Profit on By-Products. However, there is another hit to the packing business, quite as little understood apparently, that goes to show how a loss on fresh meats may be accompanied by a profit on the cost of business don’t. Take, for example, the banjo strings aforementioned, which are made from the intestines of sheep. The department that makes banjo strings (and likewise surgical ligatures, tennis strings, etc.) “buys” the intestines from the sheep-killing department, paying exactly the same price that these bring when sold to the outside market. On this basis the string department manufactures its strings and sells them, bringing a profit into the business. In like manner the fertilizer department buys blood and tankage; the soap department buys fats; the glue department buys hoops, horns, bones and sinews; and on so through the list of "by-products." The fertilizer, the soap and the glue, just as the music strings, bring in a manufacturer's profit. In all cases these by-products, whether they be sold to outside manufacturers or to one of the manufacturing departments in the business (at the same prevailing market price), are credited to the cost of the meat portion of the animals, just as in the instance of the hides mentioned above. Thus the vitiligo of by-products, portions of which we have heard much, and the method by which it is conducted, show the packers' manufacturing profit on a great variety of commodities rating all the way from pharmaceuticals to glue, do, in reality, bear the burden of fresh meat prices. Senator Kellogg, of Minnesota, in discussing maladministration of railroads by the Government, said: "There never was a Government operation that was not wasteful and inefficient. It is inevitable under our organization that it should be so. It is not the province or the prerogative of a Democracy like ours, instituted for the best Government on the face of the earth, to manage the business of the country." Congressional Record, Aug. 5.

Kansas City.—A certain saloonkeeper entered the office of Sam Hargus, assistant United States district attorney, here, and explained that he wanted to know if he could sell some liquor with his 2.75 per cent beer. Others were getting away with it, he declared, and he wanted to know if he could. "How far would I get?" he asked. "Well," replied Mr. Hargus. "seeing that you are an old friend I think I can fix you up—so you could get your choice of any jail in the Western district of Missouri. We have some pretty fine ones; some say they have never seen better." "I'll stick to my near per cent beer," replied the saloonkeeper as he hurriedly left. KILLS MORE THAN WAR Tuberculosis Claims 150,000 Victims a Year. Survey Indicates 2,000,000 Unsuspected Sufferers From Disease in Nation. New York.—A survey of the country shows the United States is face to face with a condition more menacing to its people than actual warfare, according to the report of the executive committee of the National Tuberculosis association. The survey shows an annual death rate from tuberculosis in the United States of 150,000, and more than 1,000,000 active cases of the disease in the nation. To combat and prevent the spread of the disease, an intensive national campaign is necessary, it was asserted. Funds for the campaign will be sought by a ten-day sale of Red Cross seals, beginning December 1. The total of the national state budgets will be more than $600,000. During the discussions, attention was called to the revelations of the war-time medical examination boards, made up large of members of the association. Official figures were cited, showing that of the men called to the colors, nearly 100,000 were tuberculous. It was pointed out that the death rate of 150,000 a year from one preventable disease was much higher of more lives than the United States army lost in the year it was actively engaged in the war. BRITISH SELL WAR STORES Government Offers to the Public Immense Quanze Goods and inventory of the Palace Plan Washington.—The British government is offering at public sale, either by auctions or bid from private parties, an enormous amount of goods, stores and all kinds of property accumulated in the course of the war and now held in quantities far beyond the needs in time of peace. A special publication known as "Surplus," copies of which have been received, show that this property includes whole factories fully equipped for manufacturing all kinds of commodities. An effort is being made to dispose of much of this property abroad and a special bureau has been established in London to interest export houses. JUST A MATTER OF MONEY Ontario Town Would Pay for American Coal in Own Currency. Windsor, Ont.—Orders placed by Mayor Winter with a United States firm for 600 tons of anthracite coal, quoted at $12 a ton, including freight, and expected to be paid for in Canadian money, must now be paid for in United States currency, according to word received here. The demand for United States money will make about 42 cents difference a ton, the mayor says. The order is held in abeyance until it can be learned whether another American company will accept Canadian money. Cared for Town Clock Bucyrus, O.—Care of the town clock passed out of the hands of the Kehrer family, which has had it for more than fifty years, when George J. Kehrer Jr., was taken ill and had to delegate his task to the court house jailor. About twenty years ago the elder Kehrer died, after tending the clock for thirty years, and the clock stopped. For a month a stranger struggled with the clock, but would not move for forty-eight hours consecutively. Then his son took care of it and ever since the townpeople have set their watches by it. Prize Fish Yarn of 1919 Topeca, Kan.-The champion "fish tale" for 1919 was brought to this city by Mr. and Mrs. Paul Lovewell, who returned with their family from Lake Koronis, Minn., where they spent two months. The family consisting of the parents, two sons and a daughter,合计 total of 183 pike and bass, and a addition to this number not count. They showed a snapshot with a catch of 40 fish averaging two pounds each. $2.00 PER YEAR HUNT LONG FOR BURIED FORTUNE Hidden Treasure Has Lured Men to Toll for Half Century on Iowa Farm. TRAGEDY WOVEN IN ROMANCE Murder of Man 46 Years Ago Brings Strange Characters into a Court—Mystery Yet to Be Solved. Bedford, Ia.—The mystery of a hidden treasure, a mystery that has puzzled the people of southwestern Iowa for half a century, has been brought nearer solution by an investigation which has shown how a little group of picturetues characters of that section of the state toiled for years in quest of riches buried, according to tradition, on the Klondike farm. The evil spell the buried treasure has worked upon those intimately connected with it has held to the last. One by one the fortune hunters are passing from the stage, their dreams ending in misery or poverty. Lying 15 miles southwest of Bedford, Ia., is the Huntsman farm, and adjoining it is the Anderson home-stead. Pitted with holes and scarred with many excavations, the farms prove the arduous toll of men driven by dreams of gold. First it was Dr. C. R. Huntsman and his brother, Bates, who searched for the treasure. Now it is Bates and his two sons and their families. Searching for the Treasure. Samuel Anderson moved to Iowa in the early seventies. Soon after he located on the farm Anderson received a call from the Huntsman, who told him that there was a lot of gold buried on the place and that they wanted to dig for it. Anderson was asked to aid in the work. For nearly a quarter century the three dug, plowed and excavated. One day 17 years ago the searchers uncovered three stakes set in a direct line pointing to a spring. Anderson, inspired by the vision of his share of the dug on feverishly. He first came onto some land and he knew was not common to that part of the country. Anderson then uncovered a big rock, under which was a metal box. One of the Huntsman told Anderson that he could go, promising him his share of the fortune when the money was counted. He never saw the box again nor learned of its contents. Soon after the discovery of the metal box the elder Huntsman died suddenly. Samuel Anderson, wearying of long waiting for his share of the treasure he believed he had uncovered, fled a suit against Bates Huntsman, asking pay for his shares of toll, peculiar was his story that official investigation interested. An investigation followed, and other acquaintances with some of the circumstances of the affair were found. One of these was Maria Collins Porter of Quitman, Mo., who spent her girlhood in the vicinity. The woman's story seemed to throw clear light on the source of the treasure the Huntsmans had sought so long. The story, too, seemed to link the treasure with the hoard found in the cabin of old Dr. A. M. Golliday of Bedford, whose body was found in his cabin 11 years ago. It was a story of a murder gang, of stolen thousands, of a crime committed so far back in time that even the identity of the victim was a matter of uncertainty. Held on Murder Charge. Held on Murder Charge. Following swiftly upon the story of Maria Collins Porter came the arrest of Bates Huntsman, Sam Scriveller, a rilfer, and John and Hank Damone. They were charged with the murder of a unknown identity, presumably a rich man from Missouri, 46 years ago. Before the trial began speculation as to the identity of the murdered man became rife. Although there were found to be many contradictions in the evidence presented by some of the witnesses the case of the state might have proceeded further but for one of the primary technicalities of the law of homicide. The state could not establish the existence of the man alleged to have been killed. The young attorney for the aged defendants only had to move that the case be dismissed to have this action taken. BREAK NELL GWYNN SUNDIAL English Workmen Destroy Interesting Relic of Times of Charles II. London.—A sundial known as "Nell Gwynn's Sundial," which for years has been in position on the terrace at Lauderdale house, Highgate, was broken beyond repair while workmen were trying to change its position. There is in the house Nell Gwynn's official bath, which is much older than the sundial, and was placed there when she was installed in the palace by Charles II. Farmer Gets $900 Pearl Vincennes, Ind.-While digging mussels in the Wabash river recently Martin Straw, a farmer, found a pearl which he sold to a Mt. Carmel, IL, jeweler for $300. Mr. Straw had only dug one pound of shells when he started cooking them and made the find. J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER MINNEAPOLIS OFFICE No. 2812 Teeth Avenue South J. N. SELLERS, Manager.

SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1919. THE DAY AFTER CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR. On the day after Christmas many people pick up the wrapping paper, string and other rubbish scattered about and ask themselves whether they really had as much joy and pleasure from the giving and receiving of gifts as they ought to have had. They know that those to whom they gave, liked and appreciated the spirit which led to the giving, but did they like the gifts? The overflowing ashbarrels, the crowd around the exchange counters in the stores and additional packages on the top shelves of unused closets and attics give the answer, in many cases. It is less trouble and less effort to give sensible and useful and appropriate gifts than those which will bring neither profit nor gratification to the recipient. No matter for whom the gift is designed nor how expensive or inexpensive you desire to make it, Government Savings Securities will supply the giver's needs and the receiver's wants. Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps, Treasury Savings Certificates and Liberty Bonds are adjusted to the limitations of every purse. Moreover their usefulness is not momentary. They will not be cast aside as out of fashion or outgrown for they grow and increase in value with the passage of time. They carry with them the spirit of desire for future well-being expressive of true friendship and affection. They are appropriate for all and more than a little excuse exists for a recipient to feel that little thought has been spent on a gift no matter how expensive, if it is manifestly inappropriate. Well, Christmas of 1919 with its joys and its sorrows has passed into history and the New Year 1920 will soon be ushered in; let the dead past burn its dead and let us be filled with hope and determination to do better in the new year than ever before and with this idea in view we wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR! CODE OF HONORABLE NAMES. Recently a valued exchange contained the following: My name for every true man in To all our Patrons and Friends, The Appeal hearty greetings thus sends, We hope the New Year you'll enjoy, And the year be without alloy. ```markdown ``` these United States will be the honorable name of "American." My reference to all "new Americans" born in other lands shall never be dishonored by slurs, nicknames or hyphens. My purpose shall be to discourage in the native born the love for titles, to help every immigrant to forget his hyphen and be proud of the name American and to stamp out the use of such nicknames as words of derision of the foreign-born. We pledge our service never to use, and to discourage everywhere, the use of such words as Dago, Dutchy, Froggy, Ginny, Greaser, Heiny, Horat, Hunky, Kike, Mick, Paddy, Sheny, Spaghetti, Wop, as applied to any foreign-born resident of the United States of America. With all of which we heartily agree but we would have been much better pleased if the list had included some of the nicknames that are so frequently applied to a class of native born 100 per cent Americans, viz: "Negro nigger, darkey, coon, shine, moke dingy, pickaninny, etc., and as abnoxious as those named are to the class to which they are applied. SOUTH STILL IN SADDLE. It is with considerable regret and chagrin that we note the defeat of the amendment to the Esch railroad bill offered by Congressman Madden of Illinois, designed to do away with the jim crow accommodations now supplied to colored people on railroads in the south. The jim crow law never should have been conceived, much less enacted, as it is absolutely WRONG and caters to a prejudice as wrong as itself. Once, some years ago, it will be remembered, there were several colored members of Congress elected by the majority vote in thir several districts, just as the members of the present Congress were but if those men were living now, they would not be allowed to travel in the South without being humiliated and outraged by being forced into Jim crow cars just because they had a visible admixture of African blood in their composition. The present Congress had an opportunity to correct this great wrong but refused to do so, because the southern members did not want it. There is a majority of members in the present Congress who are members of the Republican party, the party of Lincoln, Sumner, Phillips, Roosevelt, etc., presumably advocates of justice to all men, and the most faithful allies of that party had good reason to expect justice at their hands. They did not get it and cannot forget that fact. "WE ARE ALL ALIKE." In the midst of the base, unjust, un-American talk about race segregation, which Southern whites have started in Chicago, the statement of a member of an oppressed race, sounds like a voice of fairness in the wilderness of race prejudice. A great hullabaloo was raised over the sale by Rabbi Hirsch of his former residence at 4612 Grand Boulevard, to a colored man. It was considered a matter of sufficient importance to warrant the sending of a reporter of the Chicago Tribune to interview the seller. Rabbi Emil G. Hirsch, the famous Jewish leader, was asked by the reporter: "What are your views on race segregation?" Rabbi Hirsch replied: "From my point of view we are all alike. Colored people are just as good as whites. I would rather have a good black neighbor tha a poor white one." WILL NOT WAIVE RIGHTS. Venal colored men in Chicago attempted to sell out the colored people but they were promptly rebuked by the decent self-respecting people. An organization known as the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners Association held a meeting to prepare plans to segregate the colored people or at least to drive them out of the Hyde Park section. The colored people were characterized as "undesirables," "coons," "darkies," etc., by speakers who were appealing to the prejudices of the Southerners who composed about nine-tenths of the audience. Then another meeting was called and a few venal jimcrow Negroes were on hand who tried to sell out their race. The whole plan was an 3. Q. Adams infamous one. The colored men who were in the plot were the hirelings of the Hyde Park whites and hoped to make a lot of money out of the scheme, but the community made it so hot for the would-be traitors that they did not attend the second meeting with the whites. There were only six colored men who agreed to segregate themselves and they have long been known as jimcrowlists. An attempt was made to buy out Rev. John F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenezer Baptist Church, whose congregation has purchased a Jewish Temple in the Hyde Park district, but he refused to be a party to the scheme and he says that his congregation will move into the Temple when the payments have been completed. Ex-Alderman De Priest, head of the People's Movement, is raising a fund to take care of the mortgages of those threatened with foreclosure and will see to it that insurance policies are taken out for all who are not protected against fire. Leading colored citizens, pastors of all the churches and heads of organizations are advising their members to stand pat and be not afraid. It is very evident that the colored people of Chicago will not waive any of their constitutional rights. THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION. THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION. THE APPEAL is in receipt of a letter from Mr. Frank G. Patchen, of the Boys' Club Federation (Bureau of Information), 110 West 40th Street, New York, N. Y., asking for its cooperation in the efforts of the Federation to solve the vital problem of the "under-privililed" boy, one of the greatest human problems that our country is facing. He states that in no sense does the work of the organization conflict with that of the Church. On the contrary, it is an aid to the Church, reaching material that neither the Church nor Church clubs can successfully reach and without bias, placing that material in the hands of the Churches for spiritual guidance, distributing to each Church its own, "WITHOUT REGARD TO RACE. CREED OR COLOR." Elsewhere in our columns we publish an article that tells of the Federation and it is hoped that some of our good citizens will interest themselves to the extent of writing to Mr. Patchen to learn the plans upon which the desired co-operation may be given. REVIVING WAR INSURANCE Soldiers and sailors who have allowed their war insurance to lapse should take note of the new treasury decision whereby men out of service eighteen months or more may restate their policies up to Dec. 81, 1919, on payment of two months' premiums, provided they are still insurable physically. Many of these policyholders have dropped their insurance because they are young and without dependents. But beyond question most of them will some day be married and have dependents and will need insurance. Our insurance is reported today our most substantial citizens as the necessary equipment of every man of family, and many banks are publicly advocating it as a measure of thrift. These boys of the army and navy can never again get insurance as cheaply as it is offered by the government, and the terms for reinstatement are exceedingly liberal. It would be the part of wisdom for these boys to get their policies launched now and at least partly paid for while they are unburdened, financially, by a family. A circular sent out to employers in a large city, calling attention to the number and quality of young colored men trained in the schools of the city, and asking co-operation and counsel in making their services available, brought one reply which though anonymous is significant of an opinion still widely influential. "Kindly send them to Africa, instead of mixing them with us." As the expression of an individual desire these two points are of course admissible, but as practicable measures it is curious that any intelligent person should seriously entertain Doctor Doob's suggestion that the colored population suppose that the States could be sent to Africa, or that if they were sent they would go? So long as they are here, and have already been mixing for more than a century, and have the rights of citizenship, including the right to die with white men for their country, is it any reckonable menace to respectability and intrinsic leadership to open a few more industrial doors to their proved abilities and usefulness? While we write, a moving-van is unloaded by two white men and one colored man. The colored man is the boss, the white man is the掌柜. There is not the least trouble about it; there would never be trouble if it were not made by people of the temper of the anonymous objector. Finds Former Orderly in Charge of Bureau. MANY SUCH CASES IN CANADA Many Men of Modest Station in Civil Life Won Deserved Promotion in War—Wherever Possible 'Recognition of Efficiency in Army Is Being Awarded—Bulk of Army Slipping Back Into Civil Life Without Creating a Ripple. Curious situations arising out of the question of rank in the Canadian army during the war are being duplicated in accentuated form on the return of the soldiers to civil life. The cases of bank managers or occupants of high industrial positions who found themselves 'serving as privates or as junior officers under majors and colonels who had been their employees before the war are now being reversed, often in ludicrous fashion. One Canadian colonel who for four years had been responsible for the bodies and souls of 1,000 men, each of whom was ready to give up his life on the colonel's order, found on his return to civil life that he could not get a job. Finally he decided to apply to a government employment bureau, but on entering the office found himself face to face with his former orderly, a lance-corporal, who on more than one occasion had led him a merry dance and had often been the subject of disciplinary measures. The ex-colonel did not apply for a job, but took advantage of the opportunity to exchange greetings and good wishes and utter a few platitudes about the weather. Another officer of high rank took a position soliciting advertising. Humily approaching the owner of a smart cigar store, he found himself face to face with a former private in his ranks with whom he had had many unpleasant collisions. The ex-major executed a tactical retirement by purchasing a package of cigarettes. Many Won Better Jobs. The case of a Calgary barber who enlisted as a private and earned promotion on the field to the rank of major, who now doesn't fancy a return in barbering, has many parallel throughout the country. Generally speaking the private who attained high rank during the war is regarded as having developed qualities which, no matter what his former occupation was, ought to find recognition on his return to civil life. Wherever possible this recognition is being awarded. John P. Girvan, a sorter in the Toronto general post office, enlisted as a private-in August, 1914. In the closing campaign of the war Private Girvan had become Major Girvan, acting lieutenant in command of his battalion, with D. S. C., M. C., and Croix de Guerre ribbons on his breast. A few weeks ago Major Girvan reported for duty to the post office where five years ago he had laid down the position of sorter. The post office authorities took council and decided not to send Major Girvan back to his sorter's position. Instead they made him assistant to the superintendent and gave him charge of the night staff, a position ordinarily reached only after a lifetime's work in the civil service. Ex-major Rings Up Fares. Other cases have not been so satisfactorily disposed of. A former major is serving as a street car conductor, the same position he occupied when he enlisted as a private at the beginning of the war. Asked why he did not endeavor to secure a position more in keeping with his rank in the army, he said: "This is the one job in civil life I know. If I tried to pitchfork myself into some other job I might make a fizzle of it and become a bum for the rest of my life." The fact is that the great bulk of Canada's army is slipping back into civil life without creating a ripple on the surface. According to government figures recently announced, 816,599 men have been released from the army since the signing of the armistice. Of this total no less than 189,000 men have made no application for employment and have presumably slipped back into places that were waiting for them. Out of 68,773 men who have applied for employment, 61,273 have been placed. From these it appears that since the armistice more than 200,000 men have been reabsorbed into Canadian civil life and that some 60,000 still remain to be absorbed. Many of these latter are doubtless students, candidates for vocational training, or young men taking things easy for a time before seeking employment. Earns $4 a Day With One Hand.
