WOK.EN ARE BIGGER RISK Mortality Among Cotton Mill Workers Much Higher Than Among Those Following Other Pursuits—Tuberulosia Takes Many. Washington, D. C.—From an industrial standpoint death at less than old age means a fixed and definite loss; the worker has at each age a certain expectancy of life, varying according to certain factors, but still definitely calculable, which makes his death the loss of so much potential industrial activity. In bulletin No. 251 entitled "Preventable Death in the Cotton Manufacturing Industry," just issued by the bureau of labor statistics of the United States department of labor, is shown the real death hazard by age groups for wage earners, especially for those engaged in the several processes of cotton cloth manufacture and also what factors have been especially active in cutting off the lives of wage earners during age periods which are normally of greatest productive activity. In this report, which is supplementary to an earlier report upon the subject, the death hazard, by age, sex and race of the entire operative population of full River, the leading cotton manufacturing city in the United States, is contrasted with the corresponding hazard of the nonmill operatives of the city for the five years, 1908 to 1912, inclusive, and a study is made of the death rates of workers in the different rooms within the cotton mill. Women Have Higher Death Rate. By a comparison of death rates by sex of the whole Fall River population, aged 15 to 44, it is shown that females have appreciably the higher death hazard. From tuberculosis their mortality is the same of the males by 12 per cent, from non tuberculosis causes by 5 per cent and from all causes combined by 8 per cent. Yet while this is true of the population as a whole, it is untrue of that portion of it (61 per cent) which does not work in the cotton mills, for among these three-fifths the male death rate exceeds the female by 14 per cent. The total death hazard of the native born exceeds that of the foreign born by 9 per cent, though the native born are less liable than the foreign born to die of tuberculosis, the difference between the death rates being slight, however—less than 1 per cent. The Irish and French Canadians show the highest death rates among the different racial groups. In Fall River married females between the ages of 15 and 44 are much more liable to die, both from tuberculosis than the single, non tuberculosis causes the males the single are almost invariably far more liable to die early than are the married of the same age. Hazard Greater In Mills Fall River cotton operatives between the ages of 15 and 44 are about one-half (46 per cent) male able to die, from all causes combined, and are nonmil operatives of the same age, their hazard from tuberculosis be 100 per cent and from all nontuberculous causes of death, 20 per cent greater than the hazard of all other persons. As to workroom hazard it appears that the spinning and weave rooms are the two workrooms showing the greatest peril for male workers, the death rates, both of single and married men, from all causes being greater than the corresponding rates of nonmil operatives. For both single and married females the spinning room is the room of greatest peril, a fact which is important because the spinning room females are a youthful group, 70 per cent being under 25. Within industrial groups tuberculosis is by far the commonest single cause of death, the tuberculous deaths being 45 per cent of the total deaths, both of male and of female operatives aged 15 to 44. Follow a Coin Flip. Hood River, Ore.—The tosse of a coin is directing Mr. and Mrs. C. W. Northruppe, who left Cheahls, Wash., last fall on a motor tour of the country. They tossed a 50-cent piece to decide between a visit to Hood River or to Yakima, Wash. Hood River represented by tails, won, and the couple came here and spent the harvest season picking apples. "Shall we go home?" the N.C. appleskinner asked his wife when their work here is finished. The flip of a coin again decided. Southern California won, and the two have left for the sunny South, where they say they will participate in the citrus fruit harvest. Baby Named "Armistice" New Bedford, Mass.—If the baby daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Walter Kuzewski had arrived on any other day but November 11 she might have a different name. As it is, she will go through life with the name of Armistice. Girl Catches Shark Cornwall, Eng.—With an ordinary hook and line Miss Daly M. Jewell, aged seventeen, caught a shark six feet long. REVIVE OLD SWINDLE Many Americans Said to Have Fallen Victims. Madrid Police on Trail of Gang That Operates "Dying Prisoner" Scheme. Madrid—The "Spanish swindle" has shown its head again. America has been inundated with letters from "a dying prisoner, persecuted by political enemies, only able to communicate with the outside world through the kindness of a prison chaplain." The writer of the letter claims relationship with the person addressed and explains that a valise containing valuables has been concealed outside of Spain, the contents to be left to the daughter and the American relative. Should the American reply, he later receives a letter from "the chaplain," stating that the prisoner is dead and that a certain sum is required to release the prisoner's baggage, including the mysterious valise. Fortunately when the correspondent reaches this point the "American relative" usually becomes curious and as a result the embassy in Madrid and the consulates throughout Spain have a flood of correspondence on the subject. In other cases the victim takes the bait without question and parts with his money, or even worse still, goes to the expense of traveling to Spain to pay the required sum to release the valise and claim his share of the contest. In the latter case the swindle is generally brought to book, for the Spanish police are on the lookout and the presence of a stranger looking for lost relatives arouses their suspicions. Recently an American arrived in Madrid with a certified check to claim his share of a prisoner's estate. The Spanish police put him in prison until he could be convinced that he had been convicted of a clever swindler. It took all the effort and an American can consul to do this and induce the man to return. MEXICAN WOMEN WAKING UP Organized Movement May Bring Better Understanding With United States. Mexico City, Mex.—Mexican women are preparing to take a hand in public affairs. They intend first to attack social and industrial evils and later to make a fight for political equality. This is the program of the Mexican feminist council, an organization with headquarters in Mexico City. The council does not believe that the mass of Mexican women are at present prepared for complete suffrage but hopes eventually to make them a vital political force. The present Mexican government looks with favor upon their efforts, according to Senorita Elena Torres, general secretary of the council. The feminist council has organized groups to teach Mexican women how their conditions may be improved industrially and socially. The next step, said Senorita Torres, will be organization of woman workers in industry. The council intends to bring the movement of women to similar situations in other countries and to work with the women of the world for peace and disarmament. Senorita Torres predicts that Mexican women will create a new era of amicable relations and a more complete understanding between Mexico and the United States. 250,000 Orphans Roam Homeless in Armenia Geneva—Besides the massacring of 1,500,000 Armenians during the war, this people is being still further reduced by demobilized Turkish troops, who are killing them and robbing them of what is left of their possessions, says Dr. Kunzler, a Swiss pastor, who was in Armenia throughout the war. He made this statement in an address at Zurich. He said 250,000 homeless orphans are wandering about the country. Bips Off Skirt, Sense Boy. New York—Among the crowd that gathered when five-year-old Leonard Hopewell of 501 West, One Hundred and Forty-seventh street, was run over by a troyl car at One Hundred and Forty-seventh street and Amsterdam avenue, was a woman who tore off her underskirt and fashioned a tauquette, which she bound around the boy's right ankle. Surgeons at St. Lawrence hospital, who amputated his mangle foot, said the woman's action saved his life. She slipped away without revealing her identity. Infant In Red Cross Seattle.

MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS E L AND MINNEAPOLIS E APP MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATUER THE APPEAL. SOAP BUBBLES INTACT A YEAR Scientific Society Gives Information on Sir James Dewar's Test. ALWAYS MYSTERY TO SCIENCE When Bubble Becomes Very Old It Offers. Only Possible Example of the Molecule Visible to the Naked Eye. Philadelphia, Pa.-Facts about the prodigious strength of soap bubbles, proved by experiments in which bubbles were kept intact for more than a year and subjected to all sorts of weight strains, were made public here for the first time by the Franklin Institute, one of the oldest scientific societies in the United States. Important to Chemists. Commencement of the annual announcement of Einstein's discoveries of the gravitational bending of light, the exploitation of the soap bubble on the other end of the scale is to size, yet, according to scientists, is of tremendous importance to chemists, physicists and research workers in the strength of materials and essential elements. The man who made the experiment is universally recognized as one of the leading scientists in the world. He is Sir James Dewar, LL. D. D. Sc. F. R. F., Fullerian Professor of Chemistry, Royal Institution of Great Britain, and an honorary member of the Franklin Institute. The soap bubble is a simple thing, yet it has always been more or less a mystery to scientists. They consider it perhaps the best phenomenon existing for the study of the habits and idiosyncrasies of the molecule. Scientists now claim, on the strength of the experiment made by Sir James Dewar, that when a soap bubble becomes very old, say in three or four days, it offers the only possible example of the molecule visible to the naked eye. Most parts of the bubble are estimated to consist of about one hundred layers of molecules. But by various methods' of treatment the bubble is induced to perform "stunts" until in black spots which appear it represents only a single layer of molecules. Remarkable Strength. This layer is so thin that Sir James estimates it would take one and one-third million like it, superimposed, to make an inch. Yet, when the soap bubble is permitted to mature in air that has been freed of its natural enemies, it is so strong that it will support drops of water many times its own weight before breaking. Sometimes a bubble is torn from its supporting ring by the weight before the molecules release their bulldog grip. INDIAN PAINTINGS ON CLIFFS Owner Offers Them to State or National Authorities to include in Park. Austin, Tex.—The most remarkable Indian paintings or photographs in the Southwest have been offered to state or national authorities, provided the cliffs upon which they are drawn are inclosed in a park and adequately guarded, according to J. E. Pearce, associate professor of anthropology of the University of Texas. These paintings, which are owned by E. D. Sims of Paint Rock are located along the banks of the Concho river near 'Paint Rock, upon every available surface for a half-mile. They are in deep red, with an occasional black figure or character. All phases of the early tribes are represented, Mr. Pearce declares, and so much valuable historical material is included in these paintings that Mr. Pearce will have them copied in scale for a report to the Smithsonian institution, for which he is doing research work. Old Letter Settles Case. Wilmington, Del.-An age-worn, fattered letter and three words in the codicil of Jesse Chandler settled a long-pending case in the court of chancery recently when Chancellor Curtis issued an order that Samuel M. Harvey of West Chester, Pa., be paid $14,500 from the estate. Harvey's wife, one of the 38 legates he was suing, lost the suit, but will have a half share in the money awarded. Harvey had agreed with Jesse Chandler to buy 160 acres of farmland in Christiana Hundred for $20,000. When Chandler died before the deal was completed he stipulated in his will that the farm should be sold for that amount to Harvey. Meanwhile the farm had been sold for $34,500, and while the legates contended that the entire amount should be divided, Harvey claimed that only $20,000, or his agreed purchase price, should be divided. The court upheld his contention. Peculiar Bird. Stanford, Ky.-Mrs. Roberts, who lives just beyond Rowland, caught the other day a peculiar member of the bird or fowl species, known as a grebe. It has something of the appearance of a duck, but can neither walk nor fly. It is carried from one place to another on land by heavy wind and is much more at home on water than on land. It was brought to town and exhibited by N. W. Fowle and was later purchased by Sam Gentry. Defective Page BIRDS SHOW INCREASE Beneficial Effects of Migratory Act Being Felt. Waterfowl Have Been Breeding Rap idly Under Protection, the Bureau Declares. Washington.—The beneficial effects of the migratory bird treat act are beginning to be felt. The United States department of agriculture, through its bureau of biological survey, has conducted investigations of the breeding areas of ducks in North Dakota and Nebraska. Compared, with former years, a gratifying increase of breeding waterfowl, particularly in North Dakota, is evident. The fifth annual series of counts of birds of all species breeding on selected areas in various parts of the United States contained a large proportion of reports showing increases in bird population. The total number of reports received, however, was not large. Many of the persons who had formerly taken part in the annual bird counts were unable, because of extra duties assumed during the war, to find time for the work required by the fifth count. "Many species of migratory birds," reports the chief of the bureau of biological survey, "have had a marked increase under the existing treat act. Waterfowl formerly driven to the far North by spring shooting have remained in steadily increasing numbers to breed in localities where none had previously nested for unny years." OLD CONVICT IS LET OJT Released From Pennsylvania Penitentiary After Passing 33 Years for Wife Murder. Harrisburg, Pa. - After serving thirty-three years in the Western Pennsylvania penitentiary on the charge of murdering his wife, William Josiah McMeen, who went to the institution as a youth of twenty-four, was recently released, a gray-haired, feeble man, old before his time. Conducted upon purely circumstantial evidence when the Grower Cleveland was serving his first term president, McMeen has been a model prisoner and the pardon board of the State has recommended that he be liberated. By a trick of fate John J. Patterson Jr., a boyhood chum of McMeen's, is district attorney of Junifata County, from which county the prisoner was sent to the penal institution. Under the law Patterson was compelled to appear before the state prison board and oppose his friend's release, but it was granted despite the objections, McMeen has served longer in the penitentiary than any man in the custody of the state today. A position is holding in a coal yard in Junifata County, when he is finally given his freedom. In 1885 McMeen purchased some strychnine in Harrisburg and sent it to his wife to kill rats; as he said, His wife put the strychnine in grape jelly, which she was making, at some of the jelly and died. Girl's Prayer Answered. Kenosha, Wis. — Gladys Roemer, eight, cannot run and play as other children do, because she is crippled. When she goes long distances she uses her "Hirish Mall," a little handcar affair which she can operate herself, and on that she went to St. Thomas' church with her mother. After the services the little girl returned to the church steps and the machine was gone. A youngster, not aware of the consequences of his act, had raced down the street on it, and Gladys was forced to stay from school. Officer John Breidt discovered a boy riding on the cart. The boy admitted he had taken it from the church and hid it in a barn near his home. The "Irish Mall" was returned to the little girl. "It came in answer to my prayers," she said. Bird in Jail. Bath. Me — Cramped quarters were furnished in the Bath jirl recently for the oldest prisoner ever harbored there. The inmate had been arrested in the neighboring town of Woolwich and turned over to the Bath police for safe keeping. He was not a tippler, but a crippled crane, and measured from ten to twelve feet from tip of the wings. After being on exhibition for 24 hours the bird was liberated, all fines being remitted on condition of good behavior. Ship Bone for Her Spine Watertown, N.

Sight Fails As Artist Paints Heroic Nurse London.-While engaged on a large picture dealing with the fate of Edith X. Cayell, Mr. Van Ruth, a veteran painter, discovered that his eyesight was falling. Oculists predicted that the painter, who is eighty years of age, would lose his sight in a few months. Nevertheless he persevered and added the last touches to his work on the anniversary of the armistice. Bird in Jail. DO NOT WANT LICENSING BILLS Farmers, Stockmen and Merchants Oppose Packer Legislation at Washington. Representing a diversity of interests and including farmers, feeders, retail butchers and produce dealers, fully a thousand individuals have made the way to Washington to enter their projects against the packer licensing plan now hearing before the senate agriculture committee. Far from solving in any measure the high cost of living, the proposed legislation if passed would be a dangerous experiment for everyone, is the 'consensus of opinion held by these witnesses. "We've had government control of railroads and telephones and telegraphs until we're plumb worn out, and we don't want any hope. W.P. Carpenter, stock feeder of Tarktio, Mo. told the committee. 'I'm in favor of the man who can produce the cheapest going ahead as far as he can. That's the way to cut down the cost of living." That the packers dominated the stock markets was an idea scouted by testifying stock feeders, who said they found the stock yards places of keen competition. Taking away the packers' refrigerator cars was as reasonable as taking away their butcher knives, was the conviction expressed by J. P. Lynch, another feeder from Tarktio. The concern of stockmen and butchers who fear that hampering the packers will only result in disrupting the meat industry without benefit to anyone, was not the sole interest displayed at the hearing. Business men throughout the country are strongly against the licensing feature which would establish a precedent for bringing government control and politics into the conduct of all manner of business. Many business organizations have expressed themselves formally, through resolutions, as against the principle of bringing business under government interference of the kind proposed in the Kenyon and Kendrick bills. In speaking for the chamber of commerce of Mountlea, Ga., C. T. Caldwell said: "We得它 Swift & Co. down there, and they helped more than anything else to get our farmers to diversity. The live stock business needs their national distribution." THE PACKERS AND REFRIGERATOR CARS Whether refrigerator cars should be owned by the railroads or by the packers—a point to be determined by legislation now pending in Washington—may seem to be a question rather remote from the interests of the average person. But, inasmuch as these "ice boxes on wheels," as one of the packers terms them, are the conveyances which bring our beefsteak to town, we may assume that we have a certain concern about them. If they have anything to do with the price of the beefsteak our concern is a deep one. It is maintained by some that these cars give the packers who now own them an unfair advantage over competitors. This is stoutly denied by the packers, who offer as proof the fact that they pay the same freight rates as any shipper; and they assert that the advantage they enjoy is in being able to enough cars for their needs by furnishing themselves instead of depending upon the roads to do so. In this they are backed up by a report of the Interstate Commerce Commission, made after an investigation of all privately owned cars, to the effect that there were no unfair practices and that a radical change would adversely affect both shippers and the public. While not opposing, in principle, railroad ownership of refrigerator cars, the packers maintain that there are not enough of these cars to go around and that the legislation in question makes no provision for 'insuring that the railroads shall furnish them in sufficient number. On the other hand, to pool their cars and take chances of getting what happened to be available, would seriously handicap the distribution of their perishable meat products. The stream of shipments from the packing plants would be blocked, which in turn would block the buying of live stock, and the industry, which is founded on a basis of rapid distribution, would be badly muddled. In these contentions pro and con, there are three parties whose interests are at stake—the packers, their competitors and the public. Only one of these parties could gain a possible advantage if the packers', cars were taken away from them, viz, the packers' competitors. The cars are now admittedly handled on an economic efficient basis, and no change is justice unless unfairness is definitely and absolutely proved—which would be in absolute contradiction to the report that the Interstate Commerce Commission has already rendered on the subject. The packers' pay the bill for inefficiency in the packing industry, and it has no desire to pay this bill in order to help a few of the packers' competitors.

MINES MENACE SHIPS Germans Have Not Finished Sweeping Their Area American Field Swept as Completely as Possible, Says Admiral Knapp. London.—Until the Germans complete the sweeping of mine fields they laid in the North Sea there will be considered 'danger to shipping in waters adjoined by British Isles, say British and American naval authorities. Even after that work has ended, which will not be before next summer, there will be some danger which they predict, will gradually diminish. "The American barrage is swept as completely as is humanly possible," Admiral Harry S. Knapp, of the American navy, said to the Associated Press correspondent. "After our area had been pronounced one hundred per cent we respekt 860 miles of it and found that they mines. These were at a buoyed spot where the sweppers believed they had missed some." "The greatest menace now," said Lieutenant Commander Benson, of the international mine destroying committee, "is the unswept German area. Until that field will be cleared there will be many drifting mines about. Afterward there will be some danger, but it will rapidly diminish as the elements destroy the effectiveness of the mines." He said the committee accounted for nine of the basis that five per cent explode when laid, five per cent are defective, and per cent soon become useless through leakage and fifty per cent of the total number are destroyed by the different systems of sweeping employed by the British and Americans. Committee members believe that a great many of the other thirty per cent will be carried by the natural northward currents of the North Sea into Arctic ice packs and destroyed; others will go ashore on the northeastern coast, as have many already; a great number will be destroyed by patrols of the British navy still is maintaining. Also the British navy has just armed all merchantmen, except those calling at Irish ports, with high velocity rifles with which to destroy any mines sighted. CHAMPAGNE THING OF PAST Soil of District Where Produced Said to Be Permanently Destroyed. Paris—Champagne soon will be a thing of the past. The original shallow top soil of the Champagne district is reported to be permanently destroyed by the ravages of war and refertilization is deemed impracticable because of the chalky character of the subsol. No attempt is to be made to rebuild the Cathedral of Rheims, which is likely to remain as a war monument. The present inhabitants of the city are mostly speculators who are investing millions in buying destroyed or damaged property at a big discount, hoping to recover from the government the original cost plus waste inflation. The city is still without light, water or heat, hotels, restaurants or tramways, and operators or taxicabs are reaping huge profits. The sanitary conditions are appalling, the drainage system being unrepaired. Man Quits 47-Year Job; Never Missed Day's Work Dan Mahoney has completed forty-seven years' service in the employ of the Boston and Maine railroad as a gate tender at Milford, N. H. he has never missed a day at his work. Mahoney has never ridden in a automobile, or attended a moving theater. He has never been to a museum. He says he always retires at 7 o'clock and rises at 4, summer and winter. Coulard Digest China Egg. Smith Center, Kan—Two months ago, while Mrs. Ellen Chljtywood was gathering eggs her hand came in con- tinently, big bullsnake in one of the nests, the Coulard took what eggs were left, and she stead left one made of china. Then she next day this one also was gone, thought no more of the matter until a day or so ago, when she met his snake-ship again. This time she mustered courage to kill it with a club. Noticing an enlargement in the middle of the snake's body, she performed a post-mortem examination and found the missing china egg. Women Dog Catchera Denver, Colo.—"The only woman dog catcher in the world" is the title applied to Mrs. Laura Dietrich, deputy poundminder at the dog pound here. Mrs. Dietrich is highly efficient in the unusual role, according to William C. Fox, superintendent, who declares that he had misgivings at first as to the advisability of securing a woman for the position as he thought it would be too difficult. "However, I soon discovered that dogs resist a woman much less than a man," he said. "They are banded by Mrs Dietrich with much less trouble than a man." $2.00 PER YEAR New One Will Cross Atlantic in the England-Holland-United States Celebration. SHIP'S 300TH ANNIVERSARY Plans Announced for Celebration in Honor of Pilgrim Fathers—Main American Events Will Be in Boston and Plymouth. New York—The three hundredth anniversary of the Pilgrim Fathers, tentative plans, of which have just been announced here, will include celebrations in England, Holland and the United States, and will continue from May to December, 1920. A four-day program in Leyden, Amsterdam and Rotterdam, whence the Pilgrims sailed three centuries ago to the American wilderness, where they might find "freedom to worship God." will start on August 30, when committees from the United States and England will be received at the University of Leyden. Scholars Will Deliver Addresses Addresses commemorative of the occasion will be delivered by scholars from the three countries, including the rector of the university, Dr. Rendel Harris of Manchester, England; Viscount Bryce, and a famous american who has not yet been designated. The next day, August 31, the birthday of the queen of the Netherlands, will include, besides a congress in the town hall, a religious memorial service in the Pieterskirk, in which Rev. John Robinson, who led the separationists from the Church of England (the Pilgrims) to Holland in 1600, was buried in the features of the holiday at Amsterdam, September 1, will be a meeting in the Rijksmuseum, the unveiling of a memorial window in the Bagljekerk and a reception. The next day there will be an aquatic pagan in Rotterdam, the visitors traveling in the morning from Leyden to Deftshaven if possible by boat along the pilgrims went. Then there will be trips to the religious havens of Rotterdam, a memorial service in the church at Deftshaven, and at 7 p. m. the English and American contingents will depart for Scrooby. The celebration in England will start in May, 1920, with meetings in Scrooby, the home of Robinson; Austerfield, Boston and Sheffield. New Mayflower to Sail. From August 4 to September 20 there will be ceremonies in Cambridge, London, Southampton and other places, culminating in the sailing of the new Mayflower, which will carry the returning American committee and British delegations who are to participate in the program on this side of the Atlantic. Main events of the American celebration will be in Plymouth, Mass., and Boston, where historical pageants will be held, followed by a big reception in New York. Vice President Marshall is honorary chairman of the committee having the local program in charge. The foreign visitors will then be taken on a tour of the United States. On November 24, 1920, there will be a universal observance of Thanksgiving day. in England, Holland and the United States. 68,000 GIRLS MISSING IN YEAR That United States Record Leads Travelers' Aid Society to Take Action. New York.—Approximately 68,000 girls have disappeared or run away from their homes in the United States during the last year, according to a statement issued by the Travelers' Aid society. A special meeting of the society has been called to devise plans to meet demands made by the great increase in runaways and helpless travelers. The meeting will be attended by officials of the transatlantic lines and representatives of Protestant, Catholic and Jewish social agencies. Chimney Is Found Choked With Honey Orland, Cal.-A chimney of the W. E. Spence residence here, idle during the chimney months, was found to be choked with honey when an attempt was made to start the first winter fire. Bees had chosen the spot as their home and had completely seated the chimney top after storing pounds of honey. Roseburg, Ore.—A snow-white deer, a freak of the animal kingdom seldom seen in this vicinity, has been observed by a number of hunters in the Yellow Creek mountain region. Three Southern Pacific employees, while hunting, obtained a good glimpse of the deer, which they described as being a big buck, and all three tools shots at him, but failed to score a hit. A white deer was killed several years ago by V. Bounds in Cow Creek canyon, and his skin was placed on dis play. Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minnesota, an second-class mail matter.

FEDERAL ACT URGED What appears to be a real effort, is being made for the enactment of Federal legislation to check lynching and race rioting, and a hearing was had before a Senate judiciary subcommittee recently that is hoped will bear fruit. Senator Curtis, of Kansas, is the author of the resolution bearing on these foul blots on American civilization. This country has taken great interest in the woes of people outside of it, while shutting their eyes to worse conditions right here at home. Strong efforts were made to have the United States intervene in Mexico because a half a dozen Americans were killed there, while right here at home during about the same period three dozen 100 per cent Americans were lynched just because their skins were not white. It is beyond our comprehension how the government of this country can allow the state of affairs within its borders to continue as it is. It certainly is time that the thinking, fair-minded people awake from their lethargy and put a stop to such inhuman unAmerican actions. There is no sense in beating about the bush, nothing is ended that is not ended right and the sooner we have the beginning of the end the better it will be for us all. 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 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 $2 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 Stoval had his. 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 American, vtcs: "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 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 humilated 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 for get that fact. "WE ARE ALL ALIKE." In the midst of the base, unlust, 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 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 'ather have a good black neighbor' 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 "undesirable," "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 jimcrowists. 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-privileged" 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. · 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 900,000 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 lape 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, 1918, 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. THE NEW YEAR, 1920. With this issue, THE APPEAL starts its Thirty-eight 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 Qmaha 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 riffs 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. THE ONLY SOLUTION Recently at the Church of England Congress at Southampton, Sir Sidney Olivier, who was governor of Jamaica from 1807 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. "Were race differentiation held to it 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. Noted Brooklyn Dodger Says It Causes Mental and Physical Aggression. (From Amsterdam News.) Editor Amsterdam News: Sir: I cannot too heartily congratulate you on a recent editorial discouraging the use of the word "Negro." There is no greater delight enjoyed by the white people of the United States today than the spreading use of this unfortunate term. Why? They realize that it is the most potential factor in the present to bring about both the present and segregation of the people of color. Its use is on the increase only because our speakers and writers, especially Do Bols and Washington feel that its repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary to retain the good will of the masses. The term Negro" is not only absurdly inaccurate in the manner of colored people, but it is also injurious, for the following reasons: a. It has never stood historically or in the present, anywhere in the world, for anything noble or uplifting. Most high-grade Africans repudiate it. b. In Africa and out of Africa it was never applied to the higher types, but to Gulanea, Sudanese and Semegambians only. c. Its derivatives, "Negroism," "Negrofy," and its compounds, Negrohead, Negro-fly, Negro-monkey, are all clearly in their associations, degrading. d. Its feminine-form, "Negroen" is justly and correctly used to justify your wife and daughter and sweetheart, if you favor the use of the masculine term. e. It has been the word used by the Southern whites for two centuries, when formally speaking or writing about an unworthy or criminal man or woman of the race. For when he says "colorado," of the worthy he invariably says "colorado." f. It is not differentiated in the mind and thought of the whites from their favorite and generally used (among themselves) terms, "Negro" and "Nigger." g. As stated by an eminent Japanese diplomat it has an unquestioned influence in cutting us off from the though sympathy and co-operation in the affairs of colored Africans, Asiatics and Islanders of the Yonder world. Very truly yours, OWEN M. WALLER, M. D. THE BOYS' CLUB FEDERATION. 110 West Forkieth Street, New York City. The Boys' Club Federation of New York is planning for a wide extension of its work during the coming year, in the interest of the 6,000,000 underprivileged boys of America, whose need, following the war, is said to be a vital one. Immediate attention is required to these ladies are to be reclaimed and mounted men of character and useful citizens. The Federation is a national organization with a large membership, operating without profit to itself, supported by voluntary contribution, its purpose being to give practical directional training to the boy of limited physical ability to him up physically and to carry him on the period of his youth. As a result of such training, it has been shown by statistics, juvenile delinquency has been materially reduced, a real interest aroused in the wholesome things of life, and that the boys of this class understand the club, are soon weaned from the stress 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 nominal dues of 5 or 10 cents a month. The Federation club is non-sectarian and cooperates with all church denominations, being the only body of its kind that takes the boy under 12 years—a 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 provided for by the co-operating churches, the religious home influences or training are thus brought into the fold—boy 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 membership of 6,000 boys, most of whom are headkerned to the call of the staff 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 to school. The boys lined 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. (From the Washington Bee.) The Bee, at the time Major Moton was named, by a committee of apologists, said then 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 American. He is not only a "hand-picked leader" but an apologist who fails to resent an insult. Would any an American white man of any nationality attempt to make excuses for an insult to his carrier. Has this not been the policy he 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 the police, sue for damages? No, he would offer an apologist who had insulted 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 man. The Bee must confess that he is a hand-picked leader and an apologist. There was a man whose fame was by blowing in an empty gun. Defective Page An Apologist: No sooner in the gun he blew, Than off this mortal sphere he flew, And met the fire in yonder scene, And lilt the fire with kerosene. And there he saw in vengeance dire, The one who called a man a liar. He was huddling close as if for life, Beside the man who whipped his wife. Take warning each, take warning all, For retribution sure will fall 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. Hurtem here mourn the loss of their pet. Here's how it happened: A squirrel had tunneled under their hoe and the exterminator was purchased. It was poured into the hole, but if 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 MENAGES 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 too low, 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 authorities as $1.80 in Great Britain, $1.20 in Denmark, and $1 in France. The depredations in this country will very probably exceed the estimate for Great Britain. One-half a cent 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 that 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 the Alexandrian rat are seldom found except in seaports. The brown or Norway rat, since he discovers the rat, is literally blazed a trail across the continent. Today it is conservatively estimated that there are at least one rat 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. Of many measures suggested for destroying the rat, the public 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'a Appearance Releivee Embarrassment of Police Judge in Los Angeles, Cal.-POLice Judge Chesebro 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. Waiter Lincercum appeared before the court on a misdemeanor charge. Judge Chesebro 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. m. 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 Quartz in Day. Sayville, L. L.-Mrs. Margaret Cross of Sayville, L. L., went kuckleberry. 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 a bush and shook the bush vigorously. The berries fell into the umbrella and were easily transferred from it- to Mrs. Cross' berry pail. By this means she gathered 90 quartz during the day, thereby establishing a record for one day's picking, it is said. Waynesborough, Pa.-George Wooding, rented 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. Snake Kills Cow. 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 Fifteenth 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 Canaris, 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 Canaris Shore, New York. They chugged in three motor bots from the bar and a false channel in Jamaica bay, where and whereabout their daily labor on the year is carried on. There are fifty in number, 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 worms each had taken, their elucidated 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 bored 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 the proftreers workin' for money like that? Look at them hands!" A bunch of "wormers" showed their hands calloused in deep ruses—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 files that infect 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 fellowes. The highest number of worms caught on this particular day was 420, which will not the lucky wormer $5.25. These were figures that refuted the charge that the honest wormers are loading 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 have worms or quit fishin', and nobody who knows what he's talkin' about can deny that we earn our 15 cents a dozen pretty hard. Ask anyone out in all weathers, and some of 'em has tried worm diets for themselves. So they know it is picnic. The boys are just what you can picnic. Now—take a glass of beer now and, then, do a little fishin', don't loaf around the way folks think, and I guess as long as we asn'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 canal are various seaside buildings. They pretentious, although they call themselves hotels. Here and in the gayer restaurants that constitute with carrouses the switchbacks the "Golden City" across the way may be purchased in a cooked seat the sullen shedder, whitefish bibbish, the retiring oyster and the equally 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 latter's claws. Now MEET HIM WITH A SMILE.

Iverson, Thos. Frankson, I. C. Nolan and J. Adam Bede made more or less rousing speeches and the political pot was set to boiling. Dr. H. I. Williams, the well known dentist who has been resting for several months, has again-taken up his profession and may be found at his old location on the second floor of the Kendrick Block, 27 East Seventh street. He invites old and new patrons to call and receive the same courteous treatment and good work as of old. The popular cafe near the corner of Kent street and St. Anthony avenue will hereafter be known as the Royal Cafe. The proprietors are Messrs B. Coleman and J. A. Thomas, the latter recently became a member of the firm. The same first class service will be maintained and the same reasonable prices. Persons wishing good home cooked meals are invited to call. Mrs. Felix Raines, 932 Fauquier, like all the rest of us, has a birthday anniversary every year, and, whether she forgot or not some of her friends did not forget, and the result was that she was tendered a birthday surprise supper on last Monday night which was enjoyed by about a dozen of her friends, headed by Mr. J. J. Johnson. The supper and the occasion was very enjoyable. "Billi" Williams, executive messenger to Gov. Burnquist, got quite a write up in the Magazine Section of the Daily News last Sunday. He was named as one of the three "glad henders" of St. Paul, the other two were Mayor L. C. Hodgson, and Mr. C. J. Unmack executive secretary of the Athletic club. These three gentlemen's pictures and what was said about them occupied one entire page. "Twas some write up. The annual meeting of Union Hall Association was held on Monday night. Mr. George L. Hoage was re-elected president, Mr. J. B. Johnson vice-president. and Mr. R. M. Johnson, treasurer. The reports of the officers showed that the organization had been carefully handed during the past year and that when the next payment is made on February 22nd, the entire indebtedness upon the building will be $4900. It was especially pleasing to note that all of the fraternal organizations meeting in the hall had paid their rent in full for 1919. The present valuation of the property is $25,000. The only change made in the officers was the election of J. W. Kelly to succeed B. W. Ackman of directors. The house committee composing Messrs Geo. L. Hoage, C. H. Miller and R. M. Johnson made a splendid report. THE WORLD'S FINEST ACTRESS MRS. MARY B. TALBERT. President of the National Federation of Colored Women's Clubs.
