JULIUS CAESAR A FAVORITE Activity of Caesar in Rhine Valley Makes Translations of His Gallic Wars of Interest to Soldiers—Legends Also Popular. Cobeni—Tales of adventure in the American West are the favorite reading matter of the American forces in Germany, and Zane Grey is the most popular author. Strangely enough, Julius Caesar runs a close second with the doughboys, who are very keen about translations of Caesar's activities in the Rhine valley and the ruins of a bridge he built across the Rhine, which lifts Caesar's work out of the schoolbook class and makes it a guidebook that carries the Americans back nearly 2,000 years. Books which describe the legends centering about the Rhine are also popular, especially with the soldiers who are musically inclined and who attend the Wagnerian performances given by the various German grand opera companies which play in Cologne, Cobienz, Wiesbaden and the other cities near the Rhine frequented by soldiers on leave. Like Story Magazines. All-story magazines which specialize in adventures are more popular with the American soldiers than any other periodicals, and the American Library association has been unable to supply the demand for publications of this sort. With the assistance of the Young Men's Christian association, which aids in the distribution of reading material in the American area, Miss Ala Weyth, who is in charge of the American Library association's reading rooms, has been able to make a general poll of the reading taste of the army and finds that foreign residence has not won the young Americans away from fiction held in America, particularly in the West. The American Library association has about 30,000 books available for Americans, French, Belgians and English residents of the occupied area, and also has circulated many books by mail to Americans living in other parts of Germany. Three hundred copies each of 36 American weekly and monthly publications, in addition to a large number of newspapers, have been taken by the organization and circulated through the French libraries at Anderlecht and Paris, well as through the American base hospital and the main library in Coblenz. Turned Over to Y. M. C. A. With the beginning of 1921, the American Library association turned its books over to the Y. M. C. A. and is no longer supporting the work. The main library in Coblenz was formerly a German officer's club and is ideally suited to library purposes. It has a great ballroom, which makes an excellent reading room, and also has sun parlors and large drawing rooms, with many windows. Many Germans have asked for the privilege to use the army, but this has been denied, as the army does not think advisable. One German told the Ibriarian he had lived many years in America and should really be allowed to have books, because he was an American "in principle." "Let's Go" Is Foremost Among Slogans of War Washington.—"Let's go," was the chief battle slogan of the American army in the world war. There were other popular and effective phrases used by the troops—"Where do we go from here?" and "When do we eat?" for instance, but in the opinion of Col. Edward L. Munson, chief of morale, general staff, made public recently, "for everyday use, in rest, or in battle, the slogan 'let's go' stands foremost." Noisy Geese Give Fire Alarm. New York.—Two thousand geese, ducks and chickens, awaitting death in a poultry house, choured an alarm for fire that caused heavy property loss in eleven retail clothing and food stores in the Bronx. The unusual squawking awakened residents of the neighborhood and attracted a policeman, who telephoned fire headquarters. The blaze was controlled by firemen after a two-hour fight. Active a Century, Dies at 102. Davenport, Ia.—Anon H. Guzeman, who would have reached the age of 108 on May 2 had he lived, died at his home in Washington, Ia., near here after being unconscious two days with an attack of the gripper. Take a Joy Ride to the Cemetery. Louisville, Ky.—Funeral directors of Kentucky have appealed to Gov. E. P. Morrow to have hearses classified as pleasure vehicles and not as trucks. There's difference of $2 in the license. CARRY 115,163 BY AIR No Lives Lost in the Commercial Service. Records Show a Total of 3,136,550 Mileage—Many Minor Accidents and Forced Landings. New York.—A total of 115,163 passengers flew 3,136,550 miles in commercial airplanes during the last twelve months without the loss of a single life, the Manufacturers Aircraft association announced here. These figures are based on the performance of 425 planes, and it is believed that the number of passengers and the mileage would be doubled if the figures of the 1,000 commercial airplanes operating in this country were obtainable. “In the absence of any federal system of registration, air laws and government methods for tabulating the ownership and performance of aircraft, it has been found difficult to trace the total number,” the association stated. “The totals are based on questionnaires distributed by the association, but, due to the itinerant nature of much of the flying, it has been difficult to trace and record more than half of these. One half, by eighty-seven companies, or individuals, are represented in all parts of the United States. “Much of the mileage was made on short flights of ten to fifteen miles, for which an average of $12.50 was charged. An increasing demand for aerial transportation between the cities has been noted, but the charge for this service being 60 cents a mile. On practically all intercity flights baggage or freight was carried, the quantity limited only by the capacity of the craft. This business aggregated 41,390 pounds. "There were accidents and forced landings, but according to the signed reports from the eighty-seven companies, in the 3,138,550 miles flown, not a single life was lost. There were 222 forced landings and thirty-eight accidents. Where have been fatal accidents in other instances, but they occurred in the course of stunt or exhibition performances or under circumstances indicating that undue risk had been taken." FALLS 130 FEET. AND LIVES Man Drops Into Six Feet of Water; Breaks Nothing but High Diving Record. San Francisco—Instead of being center of funeral services, John Warren, timekeeper at the Hatch Hetchy dam building site, is trying to learn if he holds a new diving record. He old a drop of 130 feet into only six feet of water and broke nothing other than the record, if that. There is a bucket swung on a fall that carries out of the Hatch Hetchy dam pit to the cliff side, and in which it has been the practice of workmen to make the trip down from cliff to pit, as the empty is returning. John was making this ride. The bucket got tangled in a guy wire and, of course, tilted. Before it could clear and right itself, John was spilled and sliding down an air current. He hit the water either head first or feet first. No one knows, John least of all. When the mourners gathered to pick up the remains John blinked, shook his head and told the boys to get back to work or he'd mark them up for time lost. RAT IN HOUSE TO COST $20 British Law Imposes This Fine for First Offense; After That $77.70. London—Anybody discovered harboring a rat or a mouse in his house is liable to a penalty of 55 $19.425 at current exchange] under a law recently enacted by parliament. If the "offense" is continued he may be fined £20 $77.70. Lieut. Alfred E. Moore astonished a London audience by making these statements in a lecture on "Rats", which he delved the other day. The reason why so few prosecutions had yet taken place under the "rat act," as it was termed, was because the board of agriculture was waiting until the public became more familiar with it. Father Eloped Same Day Two Daughters Ran Away A triple elopement involving three members of one household, none of whom knew of the others' intentions, was disclosed with the announcement that William M. Chase of Atlantic City, N. J., retired New York city manufacturer, and his daughters, Edith and Evelyn, had married their respective mates within 24 hours. Each of the three was surprised to find that the habit had spread throughout the family. Hooch Blamed for Theft. San Antenio, Tex-"Too much hooch!" said Judge Buckley as he leaved a $50 fine on George Harrison for having stolen a forty-two-year-old man and then disturbing residents near the grounds by singing their door bells and trying to sell the monkey. THE APPEAL. RICH FORSAKE FIFTH AVENUE Tradesmen Steadily Break Exclusiveness of Noted Residence District of New York. MRS. VANDERBILT LEADS WAY New Exclusive District Expected to Spring Up in Section Where Near-Slums Existed Before—Long Fight for District. New York—Stealthy but steady advances by tradesmen, covering a period of more than twenty years, have virtually broken the residential exclusiveness of Fifth avenue, known the world over as the home precinct of the Vanderbilt, Carnegies, Harrimans, Plants, Fricks and other wealthy families. One by one mansions which housed international personages and gave to Fifth avenue much of its glitter and fame are surrendering to commercial enterprise, and the rich are seeking homes in new "exclusive" parts of the city. Real estate men, who have watched with interest this aggression of trade, say that another decade will have wiped out the last bit of residential exclusiveness in the avenue. Mrs. Vanderbilt Moves. The Fifth avenue was reflected in the recent purchase of property bordering the East river at Fifth-eighth street by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Sr., where it intends to build a home in a section known as Sutton square. This bit of property is directly across from Blackwell's island, where its located, and is almost underneath the Manhattan approach to the Queensborough. Real estate men expect that Mrs. Vanderbilt's migration to the East river will mean a new exclusive district in a part of the city where near-slums existed before. Mrs. Vanderbilt, who a few years back helped to make Fifth avenue history with her brilliant social activities, sald when she purchased the East river property that Fifth avenue had "lost its residential atmosphere, which was its most valuable charm." Traffic and crowds, resulting from the trade invasion, she said, had taken away its exclusiveness. **Wage Fight for District.** The fight to "save" Fifth avenue has been waged since the late nineties, when real estate men began to get opinions on property near the magnificent mansion in the village of Fifth Avenue family and others owning homes expended millions of dollars in buying up property in an effort to stem the tide. Much of this property was purchased at exorbitant figures, and after a lapse of years has fallen back for business use. Hotels, banking houses, jewelry stores, millinery and fine tailing establishments have gradually crept northward along the thoroughfare. The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt is forsaking at Fifth avenue and Fifth-second street will become the site of a trust company. Its sale was made possible as the result of the death of Mr. Warren in Paris, when the house, owned by his estate, was sold to the highest bidder. The first in the Vanderbilt holdings came when Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt leased his home at Fifth avenue and Fifth-fourth street to a shoe店. The residence of the late Henry C. Frick, steel magnate, will eventually go to the city for use as a museum. TERROR DREAM KILLS VOICE Family Near Death, Farmer Viblas Fatal Crash—Becomes Mute and Hair Turns White. Onawa, Iowa.—A total loss of speech followed a dream in which H. M. Jessen, a farmer, dreamed that he saw his wife and children mangled under an overtured automobile. Jessen and his family had planned an automobile trip to Sloux City. Detained by farm chores, he followed the car by train and arrived in Sloux City before his family did. Sitting in the lobby of a hotel, he dreamed of the fatal accident. Awkening, he frantically waved his arms and opened and closed his mouth. When his family arrived they said their car had stalled on a North Western track, and a train came within a few inches of the car before it stopped, narrowly averting a fatal crash. Jessen appears to have been stricken permanently deaf, and his hair has turned white. Miners Earn $5,000 a Year. Cardiff, Wales.—Some coal miners of South Wales are being paid as high as $5,000 a year, while wages amounting to $3,500 and $4,000 are fairly common. Despite this, the government is having difficulty in collecting income taxes from the miners. Last year nearly 15,000 of them were summoned for non-payment, but only 12 of this number were committed to prison. Boy Given Life Sentence. Wheeling, W. Va.-Life imprisonment was the sentence passed upon sixteen-year-old Samuel Blevens, formerly of Little Rock, Ark., in court here, after the boy had pleaded guilty to a charge of murder. The lad was accused of having killed C. F. Grand-staff, a car inspector, in a shack near Wheeling last October. Two insane W. Middletown roach powder floor had been fatal results thirty-seven times, forty-fall, forty-anytime cide pact. TAYLOR'S HOUN' DAWG Governor of Tennessee Will Keep Famous Animal at Home. Would Veto Proposition for Appropriation to Build Home for "Old Limber" on Mansion Grounds. Nashville—Old Limber the only dog whose whelp was ever heard in a political campaign in Tennessee, has not been tempted from his familiar haunts in the Happy valley vicinity by the bright lights of the capital, at which his master, Gov. Alf Taylor, is presiding. Reports that the Democratic legislature contemplated making, an appropriation on the mansion grounds for a home for Old Limber, have led his master to announce that he will promptly such a proposition, and keep Old Limber. Old Limber furnished much material for Governor Taylor's speeches during his campaign. The governor always gave a graphic recital of Old Limber's prowess as a fox hunter. "Old Limber is being well cared for in a good home in east Tennessee and gets three square meals a day," is the last word from the governor on the subject. "He would not be contented in the city. He wants to be where he can occasionally survey the lofty spaces over whose heights he has many times chased the fox with the rest of the peaceful music at his heels. Old Limber is nine years old, and is too old to run now, but he remembers and often dreams of his past achievements." "If you have never heard Old Limber in full cry," the governor continues, growing more eloquent, "you have never heard music. He is gifted in every note, and in a chase, at one time or another, he will let you have all of them. You could distinguish Old Limber's voice from the rest of the pack eight miles away. Honest! "That dog never lied to me in his life. He has never been known to yelp on a cold trail. Whenever the voice of Old Limber is heard, everybody knows that there is a fox around." The governor's east Tennessee home place boasts not only "Old Limber," the most famous hound dog in Tennessee, but also a son, who has taken his place as pack leader, and a grandson as well. LIZARDS MAKE AUTOS SKID Plague Afflicting Towns and Villages Which Border on Prairie Lakes of Canada. Winnipesau, Man.—A plague of lizards is afflicting the towns and villages which border on the prairie lakes and sluices of Canada. At Ninette 2,000 lizards were shoveled out of the basement window shaft at the government sanatorium. In the doctor's quarters 60 were counted. Motorcar drivers have to keep skid chains on their cars, as the roads are made slippery by a surface of living lizards. Many of the people keep indoors than venture out because of the disgraceful sensation of crunching a lizard underfoot. The lizard is more treacherous than banana peel. The little reptiles, which vary from four inches to eighteen inches in length, travel by night only, and are now on their annual trek from the lakes to find suitable crevices in which to hibernate. Father Sells Girl for 10 Cents a Pound, She Says Lexington, Ky.-A report from Stanford, Lincoln county, says that George Isman, a farmer of the mountain section, has been placed in jail at Stanford on a charge made by his daughter, Annie, eighteen, that her father had attempted to shoot her. The girl charges her father sold her at 10 cents a pound, a total of $15, to Joseph Zubra. When he came to the home some weeks later to claim his purchase, the father was greatly displeased at the girl's refusal to carry out the terms of the sale and tried to shoot her. Isman and his family are highly respected in their rural community, it is said. The girl is pretty and well educated. NEW WARSHIP IN JAP FLEET "Nagato" Takes Place Among Largest Fighting Vessels Afoot in the World Today. Tokyo—Japan's latest battleship, Nagato, has a dead-weight tonnage of 38,800 and can develop a speed of 23 knots per hour. Its length is 680 feet. The armament of the new addition to the Japanese fleet includes eight 15-inch guns and twenty 6-inch guns. It is fitted with four turbine engines. The Nagato takes a place among the largest battleships afloat today, its 38,900 tons comparing with the British Hood, 41,000 tons, and the American Tennessee, 82,000 tons. Two Insane Women Form Death Pact. Middletown, N. Y. In coffee which roach powder, brushed up from the floor, had been placed, was drank with fatal results by Charlotte Wheeler, thirty-seven years old, and Martha Hotaling, forty-five, inmates of the state prison in fulfilment of a suicide pact. POVERTY SPURS GENIUS OF POOR Viennese Invent New Jobs for Earning Living When Old Methods Fail. GENTEEL DANGERS FOR HIRE Rich Man's Son and Wife Dance in Public for Pay—Sitters of Refuse Find So Much Profit Capitalists Crowd Them Out. Vienna—The Viennese of the poor classes have always been noted for inventing queer jobs to get a living by. The "carriage-door-opener" waited for the close of the theater performances to open and shut carriage-doors for those that drove away, who willingly gave a tip for this voluntary service. The "waterman" at castbands washed the grooves of the wheels and the hoofs of the horses when the cab came bck from a drive, and this useful work was paid for by the fare, not by the coachman, who was too proud to do it. Aid for the Lottery Shy. Outside the government lottery office an old woman would offer to play the numbers or even to advise what numbers to play if any person lingering near looked too shy to enter the shop. These and a great many other jobs of the same kind no longer exist, since Vienna has been struck by misfortune and her citizens have no money for anything but the bare necessities of life. On the outskirts of the city, where big factories are surmounted by high chimneys, there is still much building ground waiting for future enterprise. Here enormous mounds of refuse have accumulated, consisting chiefly of ashes and dross. Some poor woman who could not hear the sight of her children shivering around the cold stove, may have been the first to visit the refuse heaps with a hook and basket in search of bits of unconsumed coal. Her example was soon followed, and in the course of bitter winters the number of people grabbing for coke increased to a small army. The next to appear on the stage of this new profession was the capitalist, who took the product of the coke-grabbers' efforts and distributed it to the channels of underhand traffic. Some of these have already become millionaires — of course, Austrian crown millionaires. A very short time ago students of the highest class in the best grammar school of Vienna (the Schottengernasum) were caught in the act of selling an enormous quantity of firewood (which did not exist) to a syndicate of bankers. The students had formed a stock company and were buying and selling on speculation to the amount of millions. Gentel Dancers for Hire. In one of the most popular night restaurants an elegant couple appears every evening at the same hour and is welcomed enthusiastically by the two open the dance with a fox trot around the room. The dance is generally considered the most faithful to the place. Only a small number are in the secret of their real character. The woman is his wife, whom he married against the will of a purse-proud father. The 10,000 crowns a month paid by the father to the prodigal are not sufficient to keep this lively young pair in clothing and food, so they resolved to earn their bread. But the only thing in the world that they could do well was to fox trot. The exquisite way in which they danced together in their courting days made them generally admired. Now the owner of the night restaurant pays the 10,000 crowns a month, treats them with the respect the most honored guests of the court gives them an excellent champagne supper every night. Why should boys learn Greek and Latin, mathematics and history when fox trotting promises so much more brilliant a career? Business ethics and morals certainly have gone astray, but only a Pharisee could blame this-people on that account. CUTS FUSE OF BURNING BOMB Plotters Fire on Watchman in Brook- Jay Building. Who Removed? New York.—A sputtering fuse, attached to a large square bomb in the basement of a house in process of reconstruction in Brooklyn, was cut just in the nick of time by the night watchman, Tony Franko. The fuse was severed two inches from the bomb. Franko was so badly burned while hacking at the fuse with a pocket knife that he had to be taken to a hospital. His condition is serious. He told physicians that as he went into the cellar he saw two men, one of whom had just lighted a match. They ran away after dring shots at him. Dentist Sent Airplane After Patient. Little Sloux, In—Instigating that William Peterson, farmer, should have dental work done immediately, a dentist of Omaha, Neb., sent an airplane after him to save time for the bus farmer. In business, fortunes are not realized Unless your goods are amply advertised. PARIS HOUSE CRISIS Shortage of Homes Having Curious Effect on Divorce. No Place to Go for Couples Separated, So They Just Kiss and Make Up —Not a Flat, Few Hovels. Paris—The great difficulty of finding lodgings in Paris has been the cause of many unusual incidents recently. Divorced persons seeking separate apartments are having such difficulty in finding them that in one case at least they composed their temperamental differences in order to keep their old apartment. A painter and his wife who had been divorced by mutual agreement were both looking for apartments. Frequently their paths crossed in their search for a home. The first time they met they howed gravelly but politely. Their mutual smile gradually broadened as the hunt for flats narrowed down to a few hovels in the slum section. "Let's kiss and make up and go back to our flat," the wife finally said, and they did. President Millerand, who recently took possession of the Elysee palace, received 41 applications for his apartment in the Avenue de Villars. Henry Landru, who has been in La Sainte prison for the last 20 months awaiting trial on charges growing out of the disappearance of 11 women, recently was dispossessed from the flat he had occupied on the Boulevard Rue de la Rue, a rather sordid section of Paris. Residents, however, quarter in Paris, some even from artistic Auteuil, asking that the flat be reserved. A vagrant just finishing 30 days in La Suite prison told his cellmate under sentence of five years for swindling that he dreaded to return into cold, dreary Paris. He was homeless; prospects of spending the winter nights under Paris bridges did not appeal to him. The prisoners exchanged clothing and cards of identity, and when the warden called for the vagrant to send him out into the cold world the swindler responded. The fraud was discovered only when the swindler's lawyer called at the fall. BLIND IN ETERNAL TRIANGLE Hueband, Wife and Alleged Affinity, Sightless All—Men in Battle Royal. Atlanta, Ga.—That love is blind has just been proved in police court here when a blind man, his blind wife, and her alleged affinity, blind also, were arraigned for trial following a battle royal between the two men, after the husband had come home unexpectedly. Martin Strone, the husband, told the recorder that while pedaling religious tracts in the street a friend had warned him that a rival was paying court to his wife and that he had better go home. On his arrival there he said he found Sam Stewart enjoying a chat with the wife. Then the fight started. Most of the furniture in the room was wrecked, but the combatants suffered less injury, due to their inability to get at each other properly. "One day in a dark cell in the police station for Stewart," said the judge. TEETH ARE WORTH $150 EACH Jury Fixes Value in Awarding Damages to Man Who Lost Thirty. Atlantic City.—One hundred and fifty dollars per tooth was the value placed on the cuspides, bicuspides and molars of Abram Froshin of Philadelphia in Atlantic court court following a trial of his suit against Michael Dailey, a jitney owner of this city. The total loss of Froshin was 30 teeth, and the verdict was $4,500. Froshin and his wife were passengers in a jitney when the machine crashed into a rope stretched across South Carolina avenue. The rope struck Froshin in the mouth and took all but the last two of his molars out. Parts of the gums were also destroyed, and experts testified that there is a possibility that Froshin will have to live on liquid foods the remainder of his life. 3-Legged Wolf "Bandit" To Be Used as Decoy Denver—"Big Lefty," the three-legged leader of a wolf pack in the Crested Butte section of Colorado and whose cunning is blamed by stockmen for the loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars of live stock, is again in the hands of federal hunters. "Big Lefty" escaped from a steel trap eight years ago and, as leader of seven other wolves, has a trail of partly eaten carcasses wherever he roamed since. The big wolf will not be killed, but instead will be used as a decoy in an effort to trap his followers. Fall Dead into Grave He Was Digging. Decatur, Mich.-Overcome by heart disease while digging a grave in the cemetery, Edward Yowell, seventy- eight, old and exonerated into the grave and found them by his wife. $2.40 PER YEAR MAPLE SUGAR TIME IS HERE Only United States and Canada Produce This Much-Prized Product on Large Scale. EARLY TAPPING IS FAVORED First Runs Are Usually the Sweetest and Therefore the Best Producers —Ten to Fifteen Trees Enough for Family. Washington.—Remember the days when you went to the maple sugar parties? Well, maple sugar time is here. The sugar and sirup industry is American and offers good commercial opportunities. Only the United States and Canada produce this much prized product on a commercial scale, at once, a delicacy and a highly sought-after article. Warm days and cold nights are essential to a satisfactory flow, and the sugar content may vary considerably from day to day. Tapping of sugar trees if done properly in no way injures the tree. Trees have been tapped-for more than 100 years and are still in good condition. The maple is well up among the leaders in the American Forestry association's vote for a national tree. Early Tapping is Favored. To early in the season, says a general horticulturist, obtain the earlier runs, which are generally the sweetest, and therefore the best producers. Makers have lost half and even more of their crops by not being prepared for the first run. In general, the association points out, the season is ready to open during the first or middle of February in the southern section and later in the northern regions when days are becoming warm—when the temperature goes above freezing during the day and at night below freezing. If the days are very bright, warm, and sunny the sap will start with a rush, but soon shacken, or if a high wind starts the flow is checked. A thirteen thirty-seconds of an inch (13-32 inch) bit is often used. Its direction should be slightly upward into the tree, the slant allowing the hole to drain readily. With an ordinary tree the hole should not be over one and a half to two inches deep at the best. A mixture for sirup and sugar-making does not necessarily represent a large outlay. A number of sap spouts, either wooden or metal, are needed. The sirup is usually gathered in buckets. A mixture for fifteen trees usually will yield enough sirup for family to use to make tapping worth while, and in many cases will afford a surplus which can be sold at a remunerative price. The flow of sap depends upon the age, condition and habit of growth of the trees, also upon the character of the weather and condition of the soil during the sap-flowing season. Figures as to Yields In a good season a tree fifteen inches in inches will yield sufficient sap to make from one to six quarts of sap, which in turn can be concentrated into two to ten pounds of sugar. Larger trees under the same condition will produce correspondingly large yields of sap and sugar. All hard maple trees, eight inches or more in diameter, may be safely and profitably tapped for sap and sugar production. This industry is not confined to circumscribed areas in New England and New York. There are many "sugar bushes" throughout eastern and northern United States and south to include North Carolina and Tennessee; west to northern Missouri, Iowa and Minnesota. A considerable number of maple trees of a sugar-yielding species are found in Washington and Oregon. Delmonte, Cal.-Mrs. Mildred Jacques, wife of Claude Jacques of Delmonte, and Mrs. Maud Pierson, wife of a Monterey business man, twn sisters, are proud parents of a boy born the same day. The baby weighed respectively the same as their mothers at birth. BOY SETS HIMSELF ON FIRE New York Lad Wiggles in School and the Matches in His Pocket Are Ignited. Little Falls, N. Y. —Pedro Sacherelli, a boy in the eighth grade in the Little Falls high school, was sitting at his desk, wriggling, as boys do. Another boy, sitting near him, saw a column of smoke ascending along Pedro's backbone and circling toward the ceiling. A* quick look revealed the fact that matches in Pedro's pocket had been rubbed violently enough to set fire. Other pupils and the teacher jumped to the rescue and Pedro's sweater was jerked off, the fire beat out and the small boy returned to his seat. A considerable hole was burned through Pedro's clothes and he was not hurt, though the fire extinguishers shock him an considerably. THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER ISSUED WEEKLY J. Q.

"Any prejudice whatever will be insurmountable if those who do not share in it themselves truckle to it and flatter it and accept it as a law of nature." —John Stuart Mill. SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 1921 NAUSEATING. It is nauseating to read the rot given out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcrow cars, stopping now and then to make speeches lauding his oppressors. If he were the only one to suffer it would matter little, but his words are promptly telegraphed all over the country, and every time he opens his mouth the colored people of the entire country sink lower in the minds of those who read. Many of his statements are wholly without foundation in fact. For instance in a recent lecture before the students of the University of North Carolina, the wires say he said: "The Negro race has advanced further than any similar number of colored people anywhere on the globe because it has had the privilege of coming in contact with the white people of the South." Could anything with a smaller amount of truth and a greater amount of servility be compressed into one sentence? The census of Brazil shows that there are about 22,000,000 people with more or less Negro blood in that country, or nearly twice as many as there are in the United States, according to census figures. And the colored people of Brazil, although they were once slaves and were not emancipated until 1888, a quarter of a century after Lincoln's proclamation, have advanced further than the colored people in this country because they have reached the point where color does not count. They are absolutely free from any civil or social discriminations. The color line does not exist in Brazil, and the blackest Brazilian is in every way the peer of the whitest of his countrymen. Principal Moton deems it a wonderful thing that his race "has had the privilege of coming into contact with the white people of the South." Here are some of the benefits of the contact: Two hundred and fifty years of slavery; enactment of the infamous Black Codes to retain slavery, in fact, after its abolition; segregation; denial of living wages; denial of equal school facilities; disfranchisement; jimcrow cars, eteetera. Why THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes cover The human race has test. Had no voice injustice, ignorance quisition yet would guillotines decide on The few who dare speak again to right many.—Ella Wheel To sin by silence when we should protest makes cowards out of men. The human race has climbed on protest. Had no voice been raised against injustice, ignorance and lust, the inquisition yet would serve the law, and guillotines decide our least disputes. The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. even Tuskegee Institute which furnishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 per cent of the endowment fund, and the greater portion of the running expenses is begged in the North. The state of Alabama gives the measly sum of about $3,000. Here is another gem from Principal Moton: "To the Southern white people we owe our language and our religion and all that we have learned and all that we have advanced in civilization." Think of a man who would say such things being the head of an institution which trains the youth. Is it strange that many of the students come out imbued with distorted ideas of their proper place in the world? Then Principal Moton came out in his persecution in which he said that "no Southern colored man wanted social equality." In that statement he showed his ignorance of the English language? He probably meant to say that the colored people were not seeking matrimonial alliances with white people. Principal Moton may not wish social equality, but there are millions of colored people who do desire it. Social equality means, "equality in the collective body composing a community, especially when considered as subjects of civil government." Here are some of the definitions of "equal": of the same degrees with another or each other; uniform in condition or action; of just proportion or relation; equitable, just, impartial, exact; of the same importance and concern; not distinguished by any ground or preference. Social equality means the right to vote, the right to equal and identical accommodations on common carriers, the right to service in public places of refreshment and amusement, the right to residence anywhere one is able to buy or rent a home, the right to attend the nearest public school, the right to a legal trial when charged with crime, and every other right which citizenship in a republic carries with it. Principal Moton's dear friends of the South have denied all of these rights to the colored people, every effort for advancement has been fought, in one way or another, even if conducted on jimcrow lines. The purpose of the South always has been and is now, to segregate the colored people from other citizens and make them a parish class, despised by all others, and subject to the whims and caprices of a master class. In North Carolina, where Principal Moton made his speech, colored people are treated as a group apart from the white citizenship and subject to different treatment. They have suffered from all of the inequalities of citizenship. They have made progress not because of segregation, but in spite of it. If the Southern white people had not placed hindrances, including murder, in their path, they would have ere this reached the plane which has been attained by the colored people of Brazil. Some of Principal Moton's activities in the past should not be forgotten. Shortly after he succeeded B. Washington as the head of Tuskegee, his wife was ejected from a Pullman sleeper because she was colored. According to the associated press Moton made no attempt to defend her, but stated that he had advised her not to attempt to ride in a Pullman. Just after the armistice in the world war Principal Moton THE MAN W I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgme the countenances I honor the man who in the conscientious discharge of his duty dares to stand alone; the world, with ignorant, intolerant judgment, may condemn, the countenances of relatives may be averted, and the hearts of friends grow cold, but the sense of duty done shall be sweeter than the applause of the world, the countenances of relatives or the hearts of friends.—Charles Sumner. se when we should wards out of men. us climbed on pro- been raised against e and lust, the in- serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. was sent to France as the special representative of President Wilson, the arch enemy of the colored race. The Crisis and other periodicals and many colored soldiers asserted that instead of investigating and endeavoring to correct the outrageous treatment to which the colored troops were subjected, he rushed around, made a few speeches telling the colored soldiers to be "good" and then took the first boat for the U. S. "in order to attend a conference at Tuskegee." For a colored man to laud the brutal South, which has heaped unspeakable wrongs upon his people for hundreds of years, is a disgusting exhibition of servility. Imagine if you can, an Irishman approving the awful murders by the British soldiery; conceive if you can, a Jew condoning the pogroms in Russia, Poland and the Balkan states; think of an East Indian lauding the English who blew many of his countrymen from the mouths of cannon. If you can visualize these things then you can get a true picture of what it means for a colored man to laud the South. DR. BENTLEY BANQUETED. Recently two hundred of Chicago's leading citizens gave a banquet costing more than $1,000 to Dr. Charles E. Bentley, the famous dentist, and he well deserved the honor. The editor of THE APPEAL has known Dr. Bentley since his youth in Cincinnati and has watched his career with interest and has seen him rise by his own efforts from a poor boy to one of the greatest dentists in the country. He has received countless honors from the members of his profession who regard him as one of the most skilful practitioners in the world. In spite of the demands of his work upon his time, and he has a practice paying $20,000 to $25,000 per year, he has for years given much of his valuable time in looking out for the interests of those less fortunate than he. His activities as a public spirited citizen have won him the love and esteem of all who know him. THE JEWS FIGHT BACK The Jews are not like some of our jimcrow people who turn the other cheek when they are kicked and get another kick. Oh, no; they fight back when they are attacked. For some time past Henry Ford, the billionaire automobile maker, has been printing a lot of dirty stuff aaginst the Jews in his paper, the Dearborn Independent. The Jews have money and the influence which goes with it and they are preventing the sale of the paper. It has already been barred from the streets of Chicago, Detroit, St. Louis, Toledo and other large cities. That's the way to do it; fight back. THE "NOW" OF THE CHRISTIAN. Compiled by E. W. Gilles. Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson they shall be as wool.—Isaiah 1:18. There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit—Romans 8:1. Beloved, they are of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be, but we know, that when He shall appear we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.—1 John 3:2. Now unto Him that is able to keep WHO DARES who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be you from falling and to present you faultless before His glory with exceeding joy -Jude 1:24. THE BIBLE IN USE A real Bible sermon is always a good sermon. Keep close to the Bible and you will keep close to the people. The Bible will tell that love. Thee will be glad when they see me, because I have hoped in Tiny Word. When the farmer goes out into his cattle yard with a big basket of corn, the animals will come a running and keep coming as long as he has the food for them. The Bible is the great moral and spirit food basket, and as long as we feed food to them, it they will come and keep coming. This is the secret of getting and holding an audience. Just as good food, well prepared and well served; will bring the people to the church supper, so the good food of the Word, well prepared and well served will bring them to the church services. The Bible is the point of contact between pastor and people, ar3 as long as we keep the point of contact well in use we will be able to reach them. In electrics we have the electric dynamo and the electric current and the wires and all the rest. The Bible is all of this in spiritual things. If we keep it working, we will reach the people. CRISPUS ATTUCKS HOME. To Put on a Big Drive for One Thousand Dollars. Under the reconstruction of the Board of Trustees of Crispus Attucks Home, its officers feel that they are entitled to the hearty co-operation and support of the people of the Twin Cities in seeing that the home is put in proper condition for the care of its inmates, our old folks and orphan children. And we the trustees assure the public that we will not lack in doing our part to see that everything is kept as it should be. We have investigated the method in which the business of the board be done and find, without criticism, that it is necessary to make some changes in order that we may have a correct record of everything that is done. Crispus Attucks Home needs $1,000, and the board is planning to raise this in 90 days, with the support and help of the generous public. Board of Trustees. GEORGE C.

Therefore, the Sabbath should be spent in such a way as to assist one to glorify God and to enjoy Him forever. "Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy," is equivalent to saying, remember the Sabbath day in such a way as to promote holiness. Utilizing holidays and the long summer evenings and Saturday afternoons for outside recreations would make less occasion for doing so on Sunday. A great deal depends on example. We do well to keep the Sabbath as we would have others keep it, and do so first. If we let down the bars, others will go through like a flock of sheep. An individual act of Sabbath-breaking does not stop with itself, but is part of an endless chain that may never stop. The human conscience, unquicken- ed by Christian ideals, is nothing to go by. It may be warped into all sorts of conclusions. Works of necessity and mercy are understood to be commendable on the Sabbath day. The danger is, that one will regard his inclinations as matters of necessity and mercy. IF YOU ARE PARTICULAR ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES CALL CEDAR 5764 THE PANTORIUM 519 WABASHA ST.
