The Appeal

In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. VIENNA'S AGED DYING ON FEET Most Austrians Suffer From Ravages of the Many Wartime Maladies. Scrawwy, Limp, Listless From Malnutrition and Seldom Smile or Play —American Red Cross is Helping. London—Dr. Ethel Williams, a Newcastle doctor of 30 years' experience, recently has returned to England from Vienna. She attended the Woman's International conference at Zurich, where she heard so much about the conditions of disease in Austria that she decided to see for herself what those conditions really were. She spent a week in Vienna, visiting the hospitals and the school kitchens, studying medical statistics, interviewing representative people, and seeing as much as she could of the city. Speaking to a Manchester Guardian representative, she said: "What impressed me most was the appalling condition of every old person I saw, and of 95 per cent of the children. The old people were like walking death's heads. There are so many things that persons over sixty cannot digest. The mortality among the has increased by 150 per cent. "What I learned me most when walking the street was that there were no toddlers. Children of them and even four years were carried by their mothers. The children did not run about, or shout, or quarrel. It was four days before I saw a child playing. Most Children Emaciated. At least 95 per cent of the practically well children were painfully emaculated, with discolored circles around their sunken eyes and the tendons of their necks showing like those of old people. Even middle-class children have these scrawny necks, and when they run their cheeks flap like those of old people. But they seldom run. They are all limp and listless. "The scene in the out-patties' department at the biggest state children's hospital was pitiful—no sound or attempt to play. The children sat quietly on their mothers' knees or against a wall. "I saw several cases of osteo-malacia, a disease so rare before the war that the only two cases I had ever seen had been shown to me as a curiosity. It seems to come from lack of fresh food, and there have been 250 cases in Vienna, and I heard of another epidemic in a German town. "The bones soften and become disorted, the pelvis bones fold inward. In early stages it is curable, but a bad case it is walk again, and a rather bad case always will have difficulty in walking. "The cases were those of older children and adults. They told me that the hospitals were receiving about 15 cases a day, and those they had to turn away inevitably must be worse. I used to test the condition of the children I saw by feeling their fleshless arms. When I touched one child the father said: 'Don't touch him. He has this bad new disease, and it hurts him so much.' I realized 1 at I had hurt him, but the child was too listless to shrink from the pain. "The doctors could do practically nothing for the out-patients who could not be taken to the hospitals. The mothers were in despair. The doctors said the greatest want of all was for cod liver oil. Funds raised in England had sent to supply, but it only lasted for a period. Personally every child under two is rickety. Suffer From Starvation. "It is extraordinary how little Vienna has suffered from war epidemics such as typhus. The enormous increase in sickness is due to-starvation disease. Almost all of its child population is stunted, starved, left without vitality, vigor or energy. An enormous number are tubercular and a considerable proportion of these will die. Another considerable proportion will for all their lives probably be stunted in mind and body, and all will be handicapped." The children of school age provided with one meal of soup and bread in the day by American Red Cross workers at a special kitchen she visited were watched lest they should take the bread home. "You must eat the bread," the workers told them. "All that we can do is to help you to keep well and strong." The American Red Cross is opening more of these kitchens, and hopes to feed 40,000 or more children, but that only means food for one section of the people, the children of school age—and even then only one meal in the day. First Toothless Saw. Coldwater, Mimm.—Coldwater lays claim to being the birthplace of the original toothless buzz-saw. According to C. W. Bennett, one of the oldest residents, during his boyhood there was a machine shop for turning wood located near the town, owned by John Joslyn, who operated the daddy of all toothless saws. The toothless disk, according to Mr. Bennett, was six inches in diameter, had been cut from a plate of common sheet iron and attached to a lathe. When in rapid motion the saw would cut through a large steel file, throwing a stream of sparks 20 inches. Cardinal Lucon Says Reims Art Works Easily Can Be After all, the Reims cathedral has not suffered from German bombardments and fire so much as was at first supposed, Cardinal Lucon has told a representative of the Paris Intranglement. The cardinal announced that divine service would be resumed in the cathedral from November 1, but the holy office will be restricted to the altar of the Virgin and the ambulatory around it. These will accommodate only about 1,500 persons. The interviewer describes how he met the cardinal at Reims in a simply furnished apartment of the archiophical palace, with a shell hole in the roof of the cathedral. Lucon, despite his seventy-seven years, hates and alert and is an optimist. "Destroyed, my cathedral? Why, no," he said. "The damage is more easily reparable than is generally believed. A few ancient parts, it is true, cannot be replaced, but the beauty of the cathedral iny, first in its stained glass, secondly in its sculptures and third in its statuary. "Of the stained glass, nine-tenths has been saved and brought to Paris. The remaining tenth can be restored by specialists, with the aid of much patience and a great number of colored photographs we have. As regards the sculptures, we shall use the numerous moldings we have of them, to be restored by specialists in the course of construction, such as for instance, the large piece representing the Assumption. That was restored in 1875. "As for the statuary, we have moldings that it will be easy to reproduce the damaged parts. The pillars, with their ornamented capitals, have suffered little, only the two side doorways have been badly damaged by fire. "Was there not some talk of leaving the cathedral as it was?" the reporter asked. "If the evidences of Teutonic barbary had to be preserved, let them be kept in a private museum," replied the cardinal gravelly. Regimental Sergeant Major V. A. Belsolt, who has just returned from Brest, France, after service with the army service corps with a number of interesting souvenirs, one of which is an ancient shot gun which he picked up in Germany. ONE MAN BEATS STRIKE Traction Owner Operated Street Car When Workmen Walked Out. After the employees of his electric road had walked out, following a minor dispute, Col. Blon J. Arnold of Chicago, a millionaire engineer and owner of the Elgin-Belvidence electric line, plotted a two-car train throughout a 15-hour day and broke the strike. Dressed in a $90 suit, Col. Arnold whirled through the 75-mile round trip between Elgin and Belvidence after the employees had refused to work. "At the end of the last trip," said Col. Arnold, "a committee of strikers came to me and asked to take the job off my hands. They agreed to come back under the old conditions, and they returned to work the next day." Divorce Unsets Family. A divorce decree is a wonderful thing, sometimes. One just granted at Cleveland unscrambled, a family, resulting in eight children of one family losing a father and regaining an uncle. Three lost a mother and regained an aunt. Mrs. Ida Friedman, who secured the divorce from Isaac Friedman, was a sister of his first wife. He had three children by his first wife and eight by his second. **Sues for Damages for Crossed Eyes.** Asserting that she became crossed as a result of an accident in which a train collided with an automobile which she was driving, Mrs. Grace Bledinger of Chicago has sued the New York Central Railroad company for $5,000 damages. THE APPEAL. FAMINE IN MEN TO FIGHT FIRES Shortage Makes Forest Fire Situation in the Northwest Desperate. FEARLESS MALES SOUGHT Husky Man Who Is Willing to Work Looks Good as Million Dollars to Officials of United States Forestry Service. Spokane, Wash.—One of the biggest "industries" of the northwest this summer is the fighting of forest fires. A good, husky man, with two strong arms and a willingness to work, looks as good as a million dollars to the officials of the United States forestry service, and the big lumber concerns, who are losing vast values in timber. There is a famine in men. That is the great reason fires, started by careless campers or lightning storms, have been able to spread over many miles of America's richest lumber lands and ca cause damage that will not be replaced for a generation. One large fire in the Pack river district, northern Idaho, burst entirely beyond control and spread over forty- square miles of territory without showing the least signs of dying down. Men to fight it were few and far between. War Against Flames. In Spokane as well as the coast cities the forest service is waging recruiting campaigns similar to those carried against the war. It is a war—against flames almost as destructive to America as the flames that broke out in Europe. Lumberjacks, those big-shouldered veterans of the forest life, make the fine fire fighters. This summer they have had little chance to engage in their regular work of cutting timber, and have bent all their efforts to saving the forests that house the nation. The forest service maintains a ceaseless lookout. As soon as smoke is discerned the news is flashed to headquarters; a crew is hastily recruited and equipped, and sent into the burning area with full supplies of food, tools and bedding. But they have little chance to use the bedding. Fire fighting is an all-night all-day job. **How Fire Is Beaten.** The only successful method of stopping a fire is to get in front of it, clear a wide trail, and widen it by backfiring. A slight change of wind will make the back fire cross the trail and endanger the workers' lives. Blazing trees frequently fall with the wind across the trail, and undo the work of a fire. The lumberjack is as expert at tree dodging as he is at playing poker. One result of the epidemic of fires in the present summer will be a vigorous effort, on the part of lumber companies and forestry men alike, to secure from congress a greater appropriation for the forest service than ever before. America's forests are no longer so numerous and well-grown that the trees can be sacrificed without national suffering. FINDS CURE FOR POISON IVY New Jersey Rector's Wife Says Catnip Leaves Rubbed on Will Give Relief. New York—Mrs. Evelyn S. Trennbath, wife of Rev. Robert W. Trennbath, rector of St. James' Episcopal church of Montclair, N. J., has conferred a boon on sufferers from poison ivy by announcing a remedy which those who have tried it say is a most efficacious one. It is simply the green leaves of common catnip rubbed on the affected joints until juice runs. This tells Rella that Trennbath says, no matter how advanced the case may be, and is simple to use, especially in the case of children. The plant grows usually in great abundance behind old barns, and is said to be so antagonistic to the ivy that if planted near it the ivy disappears. ANTHRACITE PRODUCTION UP Shipments Show Hundreds of Thousands of Tons Over Latest Normal Production. Philadelphia.—Shipments of anthracite for July as reported to the anthracite bureau of information aggregated 6,052,334 tons, an increase over June of 432,743 tons. Compared with July, 1916, the latest normal year in anthracite production, the shipments last month showed an increase of 619,456 tons. The shipments for the first four months of the coal year, beginning April 1, amounted to 22,608,555 tons, as compared with 21,146,536 tons for the corresponding period in 1916, an increase of nearly 1,500,000 tons. Balloons for City Dogs. Asheville, N. C.—As unreasonable it sounds the city authorities have announced that every canine resident of this city must wear a bell during the next year, and to prove their earnestness they have purchased a large supply of the necessary ornaments for distribution among the owners of dogs.

PERILED BY NIGHTMARE; SAVED BY OLD SCOTCH Sight of "Wee Doech an' Doris" Stops Man's Drop From Window. A guest at a New York hotel afflicted with an aggravated case of ingrowing chagrin, decided to "end it all". The river was too far, and he did not happen to have a pistol with him. The actors were striking and he couldn't attend a bedroom farce and be bored to death. There was nothing left for him to do but jump out of the window. He climbed over the sill, lowered himself and hung there holding on with his finger. He may have been praying. He may have been wondering if he had forgotten anything. As he was hanging a man in a room across the court caught sight of the figure and running to the telephone notified the management that one of their guests was about to drop from the sixth floor. There was a general rush for the room of the guest who had decided to play the role of leading man at a post mortem. An entrance was effected, but the man on the other side of the window warned the would-be rescues that if they advanced a step further he would immediately lay claim to his halo and wings by releasing his hold. They pleaded with him. They cailed. But the guest, tired of life, only smiled and said that when he counted ten he would be on his way. He began to count. He reached six he stopped. His lower jaw dropped. His eyes were fixed in a steady stare at something in the rear of the room. Everyone turned, and there in the doorway stood one of the guests holding aloft a "wee deoch an' doris." He made no resistance as they pulled him back into the room. He covered the bed and they poured the whisky past his white heater. A little later as he was dressing, preparatory to leaving the hostel, he told the house detective he must have had a nightmare. "I ate some grapes for dinner," he said, "and I must have swallowed a ptt." "You probably did," said the house detective. Ranchman Marooned by Cloudburst is Towed to Land. Diving like Annette Kellermann from the second story of a barn and catching hold of the tail of a horse and then being conveyed safely to dry land is not a new indoor sport—it's just the manner in which Max Lesser made his getaway from a cloudburst near Lyons recently. A ranchman out rounding up his stock after the storm rescued a girl who had taken refuge on the top of Lesser's automobile, which he had been compelled to leave and take shelter in the barn. When the ranchman and girl riding the horse passed the barn where Lesser was stalled, he saw them and made the dip. Parrot and Dog Fall Heir to $3,000.

INVENTOR OF"BIG BERTHA"IS INSANE Ghosts of Victims of Huge Gun Have Unseated His Reason, Men Whose Minds Failed to Stand Up Under Strain and Horrors of War His Only Companions. Berlin—The inventor of the "Big Bertha," which first shelled Paris on March 23, 1918, from a distance of nearly 80 miles, now is an innate of the German state asylum in Andernach. Men whose minds failed to stand up under the strain and horrors of war are his only companions. The inventor does not associate with the other inmates. At rare intervals he speaks with the doctors or nurses in the hospital, but then only a few words. But, once when an American soldier entered, the German's face lighted up like that of a child with a new toy. To the astonishment of the hospital attendants he at once approached the visitor and began to converse with him in English. As he talked his interest in the young American seemed almost pathetic. He asked of America, America's part in the war, what America expected to do with Germany, and particularly was anxious to learn what America thought of the German air raids during the war and the bombardment of Paris by the "Big Bertha." Tells Story of Life. Then, as if afraid that the young soldier from overseas was about to sentence him to some horrible punishment, he suddenly began to tell the story of his own life. As a young man he had studied at the greatest universities in Germany. Chemistry and mechanics had been his favorite subjects, and in these he showed great aptitude. As was natural in Germany at that time, his researches soon took him into the field of perfecting weapons of war. His work in this line attracted the attention of his government. They gave him every opportunity for study. He researched in English, America and France. In those places he studied at close range the guns used by the armies, the chemical composition of explosives and the methods of manufacturing great shells. When he returned to Germany he was given stock in the Krupp works, at Essen. Profiting by his studies and what he had learned in other lands, this man set about to know what would eventually be the mightiest cannon in the world. Then came August, 1914, and the war. According to the inventor, his efforts were redoubled. The big guns, which destroyed the forts of Belgium, were not sufficient. For years, the inventor said, he had dreamed and planned to build a would-be beach Paris, and when the war came together with the greatest scientist of Germany, began working upon the cannon. Success Brought Only Remorse. In the spring of 1918, the inventor sald, they believed their plan had been accomplished. The great gun was finished and moved to a spot in the lines from which its shells could reach Paris. Finally came the day when it was fired on Paris for the killing of a German officer of success. For a few days all Germany celebrated, the inventor sald. For him, however, this joy was shortened. Hardly had the celebration ended when the allies seemed to take on a new lease on life. Instead of discouraging them the great gun appeared to have driven them to greater efforts. "Then came the stories of the sufferings caused by the gun," the inventor sald. "Instead of killing soldiers we had murdered women and children. My nights became sleepy, when I did drop into a doze my dreams were trembling. I became slick with the thoughts of the army I lost weight. I could not face my family, and the sight of women and children on the street made me faint. Then something snapped." Sucks Poison From Snake Bitte. Coline, S.D.-Hero action of his mother in sucking poison injected from the fangs of a rattlesnake from his leg, saved the life of Gaylord Townsend, seven years old, of Mellette county. The boy was walking with his parents across the prarie near their home, when the snake, which had been concealed in a cluster of weeds, struck him as he passed. A friend of the family lanced the wound causing it to bleed freely, after which Mrs. Townsend sucked out the poison. The fangs of the snake struck the boy twice above the ankle. Eight Shots to Kill Mad Dog. Topeka, Kan.-"A doggoned hard job!" exclaimed Detective Harvey Williams as he retreated from a supposed "mad dog" after having emptied his revolver at the animal. "Some dog to kill," he declared. Then Him Sturm, who lived nearby, arrived on the scene with a revolver and a billy. He fired three shots at the dog and finished the job with the billy.

Serious Decline in 1918 from Year Before the War Was Cause of Alarm. Paris—France's declining birth rate has lately been a source of much concern, but a distinct improvement has been noticed during the present month. Evidence of a great decline in births in 1918 was shown in official figures for the district of the Seine, which includes the "city of" Paris, which showed that there are only 43,480 births registered in that district in 1918, as compared to the 78,599 in 1911. The infantile death rate given by statisticians is 40 per cent, as compared to 10 per cent before the war. This has been attributed to the scarcity of wet nurses and poor quality of shortage of milk for bottle-fed babies. The shortage is said to be due to the tremendous increase in cheese making, especially in Normandy. However, all the maternity hospitals in Paris reported increased births far the present month. In one hospital the number doubled those of last year, and it is declared that babies are remarkable for size, weight and general health. A new periodical entitled Marriage has just appeared. It announces that it will devote itself to the question of the repopulation of France, which is generally recognized to be one of the most urgent problems of the day. It is hoped that the new periodical will be adopted to combat the present matrimonial crisis in France" Copyright Delaware A Columbus Captain Bertram Hayes of the huge liner Olympic, who carried millions across the ocean during the war, has gone back to the farm for the first vacation he has enjoyed since the war started. He was decorated with the D. S. O. by the king of Great Britain for sinking a German submarine. The photo shows him seeking relaxation by hard work on the farm. REPAIRING GERMAN CABLES Britain Also Putting Lines to Belgium Into Pre-War Condition. London, England—Every possible effort is being made to restore to its pre-war basis the cable system of the world, it is announced. The five Anglo-German cables which were cut by the British fleet in the early days of the war are being repaired and so are the four cables connecting England with Belgium. Cable communication with Iceland, which was interrupted by the war, has just been restored.Messages now are being dispatched to Australia in as many hours as it required days in wartime. Communication with the European continent is steadily improving. Mobile, Ala.—I. J. Robertson, aged resident of St. Stephens, Ala. in Washington county, near here, found several thousand dollars in gold coins. The money was in a rusty tin box that was conserved when he was blown down recently. The money was in $1, $250, $5, $10 and $20 gold pieces of the date of 1855. --- Lion Killa Rama. Grass Valley, Cal.-For the third time within a few days a mountain lion has raided a sheep corral in the lower part of the county. Five rams, each weighing over 300 pounds, were killed in this raid. Two of the larger animals, valued at $50 each, were dragged more than 300 yards. In the two previous raids thirty-four sheep were killed. $2.00 PER YEAR COLONEL SEEKING JOB IS SHOCKED 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 order, a lance-corporal, who on more than a occasion had led him a merry dance and had often been the subject of disciplinary measures. The colonel did not apply for a job, but took advantage of the opportunity to exchange greetings and good wishes and utter a few plattitudes 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 master in the barbering profession, turn in barbering, has many parallels 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 Groix 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 been sent to a 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. 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 bake of it and become a bum for the rest of my life." The fact is that the great bulk of Civil War men were back into civil life without creating a ripple on the surface. According to government figures recently announced, 315,589 men have been released from the army since the creation 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 these. Of 68,737 men who have applied for employment, 61,278 have been placed. From these it appears that since the armistice more than 200,000 men have been reabsorbed into Canadian civil life and more than 60,000 will be main 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.

THE NEW YEAR, 1920. With this issue, THE APPEAL starts its Thirty-sixth Volume with high hopes for a brighter, better, more satisfactory year for the world in general and the people in whose welfare and interest it is published in particular. Many very discouraging things have transpired in the year just closed, many from which far more fair, just and humane results were confidentially expected. It was hoped that the splendid part played in the great world war—"for democracy" by 500,000 colored men would receive greater recognition and reward; but, on all sides, there seems to have been a carefully mapped out and concerted plan to discredit and discourage these 100 per cent Americans. Even in the matter of lynching, that great blot on this nation, it is safe to assume that the increase of 18 in the number lynched over that of 1918, after deducting the seven whites lynched, was brought about mainly as a result of the enviable war record they had made. The attitude of the majority of the American Legion toward their colored brothers in arms was very unfair and deplorable. The outrageous race riots of Washington, Chicago, and Omaha were causes for great depression. The failure of a Republican Congress to do the right thing with jim-crow cars was also deplorable. But despite these and many other things born of color prejudice too numerous to mention we are hoping for many good things to come to us during 1920. "The mills of the gods grind slowly but they grind exceedingly fine." There is much for US to do, let us buckle on our armor and go forward with the determination to win. There are many rifts of sunshine that have forced themselves through the dark clouds that lower upon us that give us great hopes for a bright and prosperous season in the year of our Lord 1920. FORMER SLAVE HAS EXPENSIVE HOBBIES. That, "it takes many different sorts of people to make up this old world," was brought to our mind by the death in Winona, Minn., this week, of James John Brown, an anti-slavery agitator, seized Har- ter on Oct. 16, 1859, in an attempt to free the s. s. He was arrested, tried and hanged on Dec. 2 of the same year. "States are not great Except as men may make them; Men are not great except they do and dare. But States, like men, Have destinies that take them— That bear them on not knowing why or where. All merit comes From braving the unequal; All glory comes from daring to begin. Fame loves the State That reckless of the sequel, Fights long and well, whether to lose or win. Wesley Stovall, a former slave, Stovall was a cook in the Union army during the Civil war after which he lived in Chicago. Later he moved to Winona and made a small fortune in the restaurant business. In his palmy days he bought a lot in Woodlawn cemetery and erected a monument over his grave site costing $1,000. Stovall, like some others, had another hobby, which was attending presidential inaugurations. He first attended the inauguration of President Grant and has been present at every inauguration since, until, perhaps, Wilson's he having been blind for several years. He was 82 years old and unmarried. One of the great writers of the present day insists that every man should have some hobby. We'll say that Stovall had his. CODE OF HONORABLE NAMES. Recently a valued exchange contained the following: My name for every true man in 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, Dutch, 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, pinckney, 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 their 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 $^{\circ}$ 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, unAmerican 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 hula-haloa 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 than 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 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 jimcrowts. An attempt was made to buy out Rev. John F. Thomas, pastor of Ebenzer 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 wave 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-privilleged" 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. Patcheen to learn the plans upon which the desired co-operation may be given. SINISTER SAY JAMAICANS Public opinion in Jamaica is growing stronger against the suggestion that Jamaica should be annexed for commercial and political purposes to Canada. The author of the suggestion, John Crowe, a Newfoundland millionaire, is referred to in an article in the Kingston Gleaner as follows: "Mr. Crowe's object is not the improvement of local conditions and the strengthening of our producers, a most important matter, but some pernicious political change, to be brought about for a purpose imminent to the true welfare of the island." Of the 90,000 inhabitants of Jamaica, only 15,000 or 20,000 are whites. The 885,000 colored Jamaicans would do well to keep their weather 'eye open—there may be some jimcrow scheme in the Canada wood pile. 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 reinstate their policies up to Dec. 31, 1915; 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. Life insurance is regarded today by 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. DECLINED BECAUSE UNAMERICAN. The Department of Publicity of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company of Lester, Pennsylvania, gave a segregated picnic for its colored employees. A long account of the event was sent to THE APPEAL but we declined to publish because we felt that the segregation was un-American. We reprint herewith the body of the letter sent to the Westinghouse Company, which gives the opinion of THE APPEAL as to the importance of cultivating the feeling of Americanism among all American citizens: "Your matter is respectfully declined because THE APPEAL, which is AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER does not care to give publicity to a story which on its face appears to be an American. We so regard it as it is the exploitation of the fact that a segregated picnic was given for the "colored" employees. That is drawing the color line. So far as we know the Westinghouse Company has not given a separate picnic for each of the following groups: German, Irish, French, British, Polish, Russian, Lithuanian, Austrian, Lettish, Finnish, Bulgarian, Serbian and the one hundred and one other nationalities which are employed and there is no reason why a picnic should be given exclusively for "colored" employees. Possibly some of the colored employees desire such a picnic, but that is because many have come from the South and know nothing but segregation. Instead of encouraging such a desire, it should be the aim of an AMERICAN corporation to encourage the mingling of all of its employees of the various racial groups in order that they may learn more of each other. Ninety per cent of radical prejudice is due to the fact that one group has no real knowledge of the other groups. The meeting of the various racial groups at a public picnic does not carry with it the obligation to continue and enlarge relationships. Each person must determine for himself to what extent he wishes to go in his social dealings with his fellows. I do not doubt the rectitude of your intentions, but after my exposition of the case, you may be able to see that there is an un-American trend which you yourself had not previously realized. I trust that next year you will have an ALL AMERICAN PICNIC, to which ALL of your employees will be invited, in order that racial hatreds may be curbed and every man, no matter what his nationality may regard his fellow workman as an AMERICAN—nothing more—nothing less." REFUSED TO STAY SENTENCES RECOLED TO STAY SENTENCES. Declaring that he would not be swayed by outside influences in regard to the death sentences passed on the eleven colored men found, by a prejudiced jury, guilty of participation in the recent Philips county race troubles, Gov. Brough, of Arkansas, decided to ignore the telegrams from W. M. Trotter, secretary of the National Equal Rights League, and Maj. J. E. Springn, of the N. A. A. C. P, requesting executive clemency in the case. He had the power to save these men's lives whose condemning crime was being black but chose to take the responsibility upon himself of allowing them to be electrocuted "With what measure we mete it shall be measured unto you." THE ONLY SOLUTION: Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1897 to the end of 1912, put forward the claim that no solution of the American color question was possible except by a resolute disclaimer of the color line and the race differention theory. Sir Sidney Olivier certainly knows what he is talking about. In the island of Jamaica, where he was governor for five years, there are about 800,000 colored people and only 20,000 whites and yet there is absolutely no friction between the races. Jamaica is a British colony and the government is just. Colored men enjoy every civil and political right which white men have and there is no color line. Among other things Sir Sidney said: "My study and comparison of conditions in the United States and the West Indies" he said, "has brought me to that conclusion. American and colonial politicians and public men are not Exeter Hall abolitionists nor evangelical Christian missionaries. I do not expect them to adopt the methods of missionaries, nor do I sympathize with all their programmes. But it cannot be ignored that it happened that the faiths of the men who laid the foundations for the peaceful development of the mixed community in Jamaica were democratic and humanitarian and, above all, uncompromisingly Christian. must increase civil discord. When the balance of numbers is as it is in the South in America it must tend to foster obscure preparations for civil war and rebellion. If statesmen and citizens face in the contrary direction I do not say that they will attain immediately civil peace, but I am confident that they will be traveling the only road toward it. "I do not suggest that race does not greatly affect facilities for combination between humans in healthy national life, but race difference is only one of many schismatic agencies. The solution of the difficulty involves discipline for the white man as well as the black." INDIANS AGAINST SEGREGATION. Three hundred members of the American Society of Indians, in annual convention at Minnesota, voted for the abolition of the U. S. government Indian Bureau. The reasons given by speakers are that Indians should be regarded the same as other American citizens and do not need supervision. A remarkable thing in connection with this pronouncement is the fact that the editor of THE APPEAL, in a wire to the President just before he left for the Peace Conference at Paris, in December, 1918, suggested the same idea in reference to the American Indian. Dr. C. E. Eastman, Amherst, Mass., president of the organization, in an address said the Indians were not understood; and would not be in the United States, until an Indian is president. Even the American Indian, who was robbed of his country by the Caucasian, sees the menace of segregation, to which so many colored men are Indifferent; and, some, actually claim desire. Through the influence of certain prominent colored men a "negro" bureau was established in the Department of Labor, as a war measure. The war is over and it should be abolished. Cut out the word "negro" in the government service. If all citizens, regardless of race or color, are not subject to identical conditions before the law, then American democracy is a fake. THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION The Boys' Club Federation of New York is planning for a wide extension of its work during the coming year, with a goal of 400,000 priviledged boys of America need, following the war, is said to be a vital one. Immediate attention is believed to be necessary if these ladies are to be included into men of character and usefulness. The Federation is a national organization with a large membership, operating without profit to itself, supervise and contribute, its purpose being to give national training to the boy of limited opportunities, to build him up physically and to carry him over the danger of his youth. As a result of such training, the boy of statistics, juvenile delinquency has been materially reduced, a real interest aroused in the wholesome things of life, and that the boys of this class are not being taught to be, are soon weaned from the street and prepared for future citizenship. The Boys' Club Federation ordinarily is housed in a building with gymnasium, library, game rooms and meeting rooms for which the boys pay the fees of 5 or 10 cents a month. The Federation sectarian and co-operates with all other nominations and welfare organizations, being the only body of its kind that takes the boy under 12 years—critical age for the lad of unlimited opportunities—as well as of all other ages, and moulds him with reference to his special needs. His spiritual needs are met by the co-operating churches, and many religious home influences or training are thus brought into the fold—bods that in the majority of cases, could be reached through no other existing channel. One of these federated clubs alone, located in New York City, has an active membership of 6,000 boys, whom otherwise would have hearkened to the call of the street with all its evil influences and consequences. It is estimated that 66% of the boys of America belong to this class, a vast army for good or evil, and to bring them together in a league led boys into club formation on a community basis—as broad and comprehensive as the public playground, though more intensive—is the task of the Boys Federation has set for itself. An Apologist. The Bee, at the time Major Moton was murdered, a committee of apologists, said that he was a "Hand Picked Leader." The condition of the colored race in this country is due to these "hand-picked leaders." Now, in the first place, Major Moton represents a class of white men and not the Colored Americans. He is not only a "hand-picked leader" who fails to resent an insult. Would any American white man of any national attempt to make excuses for an insult his wife by a common carrier. Has his wife been the policy of all hand-picked leaders? This hand picked representative apologizes for the insult offered his wife while enroute to her home. Will Major Moton, the newly installed principal of Tuskegee, enter a suit for damages? No, he would offer an apology, to those who offered his good wife. The Bee has always been an admirer of Major Moton, and thought that he possessed manly traits, that would commend him to the thoughtful consideration of the American black race, but The Bee must confess that he is a hand-picked leader and an apologist. RETRIBUTION. There was a man whose fame was won. By blowing in an empty gun. No sooner in the gun he blew, Than off this mortal sphere he flew, And met the girl in yonder scene, Who lit the fire with kerosene. And there he saw in vengeance dire, The one who called a man a liar. He was budding close as if, for life, Beside the man who whipped his wife. Take warning each, take warning all, For retribution he did. On him who does a careless deed, Or wrongs another without heed. Burn Home When Trying to Exterminate Squirrel. Chico, Cal.—Fully prepared to write a testimonial to the destroying qualities of a squirrel exterminator, Mr. and Mrs. D. Hurspeth here mourn the loss of their home today. Here's how it happened: A squirrel had tunneled under their home and the exterminator had crushed it. It was poured into the hole, but it was an inflammable liquid. An oil tank and smudge pots caught fire and the house burned to the ground. It is not known what happened to the squirrel. RAT MENACES HEALTH Costs the United States $180,000,000 a Year for Support. Public Health Service Urges That Measures Be Taken to Destroy Them. Washington.—You pay one-half of one cent every day for the support and sustenance of a brown rat, according to figures compiled by the United States public health service. There is one rat, at least, for every person in the United States. This estimate is considered conservative, but coincides with that for Great Britain and Ireland, and also with authoritative figures for Denmark, France and Germany. The annual upkeep per rodent was computed by the same authoritative figures for Great Britain, $1.20 in Denmark, and $1.00 in France. The depreciations in this country will very probably exceed the estimate for Great Britain. One-half a day a day is considered conservative, but even on this computation, it costs the United States $180,000,000 a year to support its rat population. It is because of this terrific economic loss and the additional fact that rats are a constant menace to the public health service has issued a warning to the country to take the necessary measures to destroy them. There are three kinds of rats included in the survey in this country—the Norway or brown rat, the black rat, and Alexandrian rat. The Norway rat, larger and more ferocious than the others, has pretty generally killed them off, and today the black rat and Alexandrian rat are seldom food found. The brown or Norway rat, since he discovered America, has literally blazed a trail across the continent. Today it is conservatively estimated that there are at least three rats for every dweller in the cities, and on the farm there are at least three rats for every person. None of these rats is native to the United States. It is suggested for destroying the rat the proper health service advocates one as most effective. It is rat-proofing the buildings so that rats cannot get in for food, thereby starving them to death. LEAVES HIS WIFE AS BAIL Hueband's Appearance Relieves Embarrassment of Police Judge in Los Angeles, Cal.-POLice Judge Chebsero was most embarrassed. A woman had been left with him in lieu of $25 ball, and he did not know what to do with her. Walter Lincercum appeared before the court on a misdemeanor charge. Judge Chebsero fixed the ball at $25 Lincercum did not have the $25. Mrs. Lincercum, who was in court, had a bright idea and whispered to the judge. He nodded assent and Lincercum rushed from the courtroom. His wife remained behind. She was the ball. Everybody was happy until 5 p. I arrived, and brought no Lincercum. It was time to close the court. The judge looked at his clock and at the ball. Then Lincercum rushed in, just as the court was ordered closed. He had $25 in real money and walked away with his wife. UMBRELLA AS BERRY PICKER By Its Aid Long Island Woman Gathers Ninety Quartes in Day. Sayville, L. L.—Mrs. Margaret Cross of Sayville, L. L. went kuckleberrying. She carried an umbrella. Neighbors asked her if she feared rain, but she only smiled. Reaching a spot where the berries grew thick, she opened it, inverted it under a bush and shook the bush vigorously. The berries fell into the umbrella and were easily transferred from it to Mrs. Cross berry pell. By this means she gathered 90 quartes during the day, thereby establishing a record for one day's picking, it is said. Snake Kills Cow. Waynesborough, Pa.-George Wooding, tenant on the Stone farm south of Waynesborough, lost a young cow as the result of the creature being bitten by a large copperhead snake. Notwithstanding that a veterinary surgeon from Waynesborough was summoned, he could not remove the effects of the poison. Copperheads and rattlesnakes are very plentiful. DIGGING WORMS THEIR LIFE WORK Strange Occupation of New York Seaside Community. HAVE OWN LITTLE STRIKE Fishermen of Greater New York Depend on the Canaries Wormers for Their Bait—Declare They Earn Their Fifteen Cents a Dozen Pretty Hard—Worm Boys Figure Prominently in the Social Affairs of the Place. "Two eighty-five—that's my count; gimme three worms!" The wormers of Canarsie, after a hard day's work which started at 8 a. m. and was done at 12, were chugging past the breakwater and up to Rigby's wharf in gay Canarsie Shore, New York. They chugged in three motor boats from the bar and false channel in Jamala bay, where and whereabout their daily labor every day in the year is carried out. They are in barns and, with the exception of a few gray heads, most of them are young and all of them, irrespective of age, are happy go lucky in disposition. It would take a deep mind reader to see that they had recently passed through a crucial moment in their trade, a strike, but as it is ended and they are at work again, much to the delight of the fishermen of Greater New York, whose sole dependence for the wrigly bloodworms they are, the end came around to their satisfaction. Nevertheless as the wormers jumped out on the float in front of Rigby's with their little wooden buckets full of bloodworms and spreading out the rich green sea grass as a protective nest for the ugly worms on a newspaper and figured out how many dozen wrigly bloodworms had lated bits of conversation showed that the iron of public criticism because of their attitude had penetrated to their souls. Fifteen Cents a Dozen. "Ten dollars a day! Phew! I got twenty-four dozen and buried three worms to make that. Fifteen cents a dozen is what we get and my ketch comes exactly to $3.60. Wouldn't I like to see some of them profiteers workin' for money like that? Look at them hands!" A bunch of "wormers" showed their hands calloused in deep ruts—the effect of raking with the short-handed rake which is the only one they can use effectively. And they made unpleasant remarks about the hungry green flies that infest the sand bars, not to feed on blood worms but on blood wormers. But their complaints were not serious, and except to say that they would like to have the man in New York who so strongly objected to their getting more money for their daily catch come down and deliver himself up to the "green heads" as a proper punishment for taking 40 cents a dozen at retail, they were a jolly lot of fellows. The highest number of worms caught on this particular day was 420, which will net the lucky wormer $5.25. These were figures that refuted the charge that the honest wormers are loafing on their job and taking $10 a day for the privilege. Hop Spain is the boss of the outfit, and his is no fancy name but one that came naturally and by inheritance—"Hop" being a family cognomen. He is a splendid, stalwart specimen of manhood, apparently under forty, but he said he had been a "wormer" for twenty years. "Let 'em talk," said Hop, laughing and showing a set of perfect teeth. He was referring to the critics who have said unpleasant things about the blood worm market and ridiculed the men connected with it. "Let 'em talk; they got to worms or quit fishin', and nobody who knows what he's talkin', deny that we earn our 15 cents a day pretty hard. Ask anybody here in the city. They've seen out in all weather, and some of 'em has tried worm diggin' for themselves. So they know it's no plague. The boys are just what you see 'em now—take a glass of beer now and, then, do a little fishin', think, and I guess as long as we sain't bothering 'round much folks that mind their own business won't bother us." Strike Arouses Interest. Whatever stand may have been taken by foreigners it is certain that Canarsie was with the "wormers" in their strike to a citizen. And having made that statement, the further intricacies of thought into which a blood worm naturally winds will not be pursued here. The strike has been productive of a deeper interest and desire to know the ways of life of the honorable guild of worm diggers. Canarsie nestles on Jamaica bay. Huddled along a bank of an artificial various seaside buildings, far from numerous, although they call themselves hotels. Here and in the gayer restaurants that constitute with carrouses and switchbacks the "Golden City" across the way may be purchased in a cooked bed for the sublender shedded, whitefish, the retrieving oyster and the equally retiring but also pugnacious lobster. Until but a few weeks ago it was possible to drain a cup that cheers in the intervals of picking out the succulent meat of the latters' claws. Now MEET HIM WITH A SMILE. When a feller's feelin' blue, And his looks appeal to you. Then it's clear what you should do. Just meet him with a smile. When a feller's almost in, And is getting short of tin; Then help him the world to win. And meet him with a smile. When a feller's fightin' sin, And the victries hard to win. Then help him to just dig in. And meet him with a smile. WEEK'S RECORD OF HAPPENINGS. IN MINNESOTA'S CAPITOL.
