DATA MUST BE GATHERED Meteorologists Should Decide, After Study of Air Conditions, What Route and Altitude a Plane Should Take. Washington, D. C.—The "ocean of air" which followers of aviation believe some day will be filled with great air liners, plying their way on regular schedules, must be studied from a meteorological standpoint and the whims and fancies of the element must be reduced to easily understood data before the dream of world-wide commercial aviation can become a reality, according to C. LeRoy Meisinger, government meteorologist here. Mr. Meisinger in a paper discussing the effect of air conditions on commercial aviation says that meteorology is the mainstay of aviation, regardless of the confidence a pilot may have in his motor and in his plane. The "ocean of air," he says, constantly is changing and does not contain steadfast currents, such as the Gulf stream and the Japan current, which are found in oceans of water. Must Gather Data. Because of the constantly changing condition of the aerial routes through which the air liners of the future would travel Mr. Melsinger declares before big commercial aviation companies can operate on a large scale, great masses of data on air conditions at all times of the year, in all places and all circumstances must be gathered. He suggests placing consulting meteorologists on the staffs of all aviation companies to study the air as it affects aviation and to decide daily what altitude and what route a plane should take from one city to another. Air conditions are so changeable, Mr. Melsinger says, that a plane traveling between the same two points might have to take a different route almost every day in order to make the most of the best danger. Also a plane flying from New York to Chicago might find a certain route the best, while one traveling from Chicago to New York on the same day might find an entirely different route more favorable. Things to Consider. Some of the things which airplane dispatchers will have to consider, he says, are the speed and direction of the wind in the area to be traversed, the frequency of low clouds and fog, the frequency and intensity of thunderstorms, the vertical temperature distribution, the normal values of precipitation at flying fields and the effect of atmospheric pressure on aerial instruments, particularly the altimeter. The changing conditions in the air make it impossible to gather the necessary information in a single pathfinding flight over an area, he continues, but by gathering data in numerous flights at all times of the year and in all circumstances a system of averages could be devised which would aid greatly in dispatching planes. GERMANS PLAN SKYSCRAPERS Propose to Break Housing Shortage by Rivaling Tallest Buildings in New York. Berlin.-Agitation for construction of "skyscrapers" has started in virtually every city in Germany, where the housing problem has taxed the ingenuity of officials, relief workers and flat dwellers. Architects have drawn specifications for buildings to rival the tallest in New York, and sanitary and hygienic authorities are lecturing on the probable effect of high buildings, darkened streets, and congested business and residence centers. The agitation has been carried on intensively in Berlin, where there is a great shortage of roaming houses. Buildings in German cities were limited under the old regime to a uniform height. Few are more than four stories high. The tallest business building in Berlin is only five stories. PARROT BECOMES REFORMER This Bird Would Be a Frost as Companion for a Pirate, but Is All Right in Lodge. Dover, Del.-Dover's lodge, of Elks has a parrot in its clubrooms which assists the house committee in enforcing the rules against the use of improper language. The bird has learned eight fitting rebukes for a corresponding number of forbidden expressions, the use of which has been cut down to a minimum. Clifford Hawkins, steward, also is training Polly to censor minor infractions of the rules. It is possible the parrot will be loaned to other lodges, as several have asked for the use of the bird. Arm Venice Court Attaches. Vienna.-Swords are now worn by court officers for protection at the order of the president of the criminal court, because of the many attacks upon judges and witnesses recently in court rooms. FETE FOR NAPOLEON United States Asked to Join in Great Celebration. Foch at Head of French Committee Arranging for Observance of Death Anniversary. New York—American participation in the celebration by France of the hundredth anniversary of the death of Napoleon on May 5 next, was invited here by Prof. William Mulligan Sloane of Princeton, N. J., speaking for the French committee headed by Marshal Foch. A feature of the affair whose objects, it is stated, are “to bind up the wounds of France,” will be a great exhibition of Napoleonic relics at Malmaison, France, to which collections will be loaned from all parts of the world. Professor Sloane, who for 42 years held the chair of history at Princeton, and latterly at Columbia university, said that French statesmen, soldiers and men of law and letters as well as other professions compose the committee which is arranging the centennial. “Making all allowance for every severe criticism of Napoleon’s career,” he continued, “it is still true that his work unified France, saved it from partition among its foes and in civil life prepared alike the foundation and structure of the society which in the World war saved France and helped to save all western civilization. It was by his impulse and guidance of the financier, the magnificacy and administration the magnificent shape, that the civil code was promulgated, the Bank of France created, the University of France modeled on that of the state of New York and the council of state organized. "He made private property safe, opened public charges, great and small, to all classes; founded schools, colleges and secondary schools, built magnificent highways, dug an elaborate system of internal waterways, improved transportation of every sort, and above all, reorganized in his institutions the commanding position of belles-lettres, the fine arts and natural science. The superb inheritance of order, progress and prosperity which he bequeathed made the France of 1014. "The French committee especially desires American participation by contributions, by the loan of Napoleona from American collections and, above all, the moral support of intelligent interest on this side of the Atlantic." MAKES CLOCK IN 25 YEARS Workman of Delaware, O., Evolves Elaborate Hand-Carved Affair From Walnut. Delaware, O.—After 25 years of tedious labor, C. O. Cregmile has completed his construction of a grandfather's clock here. The clock, on display in a local store window, is hand carved. It was made out of solid black walnut which formerly constituted part of a pulpit in the old William Street Methodist church here. All polishing, carving and fitting was done at old moments by Mr. Cregmile. Standing eight feet six inches high, the clock is beautifully carved on its sides and face panels. All cutting is original. No design was followed. Mr. Cregmile, although offered good money for the unique masterpiece, has offered to sell it for a relatively small sum to the William street church. The clock is built so that it will house cathedral tubular chimes. Malden, Mass. — William R. Hanson, who says he is heir to a quarter of a million dollars, lost his job as jailor in a drug store because of the sudden popularity that followed announcement of his inheritance. He said that he had determined to get away from the mudding crowd by finding work as steele jack, but had been forced to compromise by getting a job as roofer's helper. Since Hanson announced that he had received word that he was heir to one-seventh of the estate of James Moore of Chicago, an uncle, the telephone bell in the drug store has jangled much of the day, postmen have delivered bulky mail and callers claiming relationship have left him no time for his broom and shovel. Didn't Get Much for Winning. Walton, Ky.—Rivalry over the speed of their machines caused George W. Wake to make a mistake, stake their runabouts in a road race to Fountain square, Chinchinat, a distance of 18 miles. Wayman got the lead and made the trip in 88 minutes. Campbell's car turned turtle several miles out of Cincinnati and was wrecked. The wrecked car was turned over to the victor. Sovereign Scarce in England. London—The golden sovereign has always been a symbol of nationalisation in most parts of Great Britain. per currency has been issued, but in the west of Wales gold is as plentiful as it was before the war. THE APPEAL. TOXIC CANDLES AS WAR WEAPON TOXIC CANDLES AS WAR WEAPON Diphenylchlorarsine Develops Vapor Which Penetrates Gas Masks, Says Expert. SMOKE CANDLES ARE USEFUL Concise Movements of Small Groups of Men Close at Hand—British Developed Candles Which Were Used by All the Allies. Philadelphia—Toxic smoke candles, recently developed, will have an extensive use in future wars, in the opinion of L. L Shaw of the internal bureau of mines, when recently spoke on "Smoke and Incendence Material" before the Franklin institute. "Smoke candles, so called," he said, "are small cylindrical boxes which are ignited by some sort of friction device, and which contains smoke producing mixtures. Their use is in setting up a smoke screen close at hand, for after ignition they are simply set on the ground, not being thrown or projected in any way. The need is very apparent to make the movements of small groups of men close at hand possible. Tried by British. "The British, early in the war, developed very early satisfactory smoke candles which were used by all the allies. The Americans also developed a candle which was satisfactory, but which did not get into production and use in France before the armistry. The smoke is normally white, must have maximum capacity and be cool enough to prevent the setting up of air currents and thus rise from the ground. It must be heavy so as to be able to hold the minimum amount of wind at low altitudes at low temperatures are admirably met by candles which produce a smoke consisting of zinc chloride. "As regards the future of incendiary material, my own opinion, which opinion, however, is substantiated by at least some of the military critics, is that incendiary material, except for small arms and long range shell and drop bombs, will have at least a limited and, perhaps, no use. The flame projectors will probably never be used in a future war. Smoke material, on which we have a very extensive and ever-increase use of the smoke screen during an attack the casualties can be largely reduced. New Use of Smoke. use of Smoke. There was in use of development by the British and Americans during the latter part of the war smoke candles which would give a toxic smoke. The toxic material employed was diphenylchlorarsine. Diphenylchlorarsine is a solid which vaporizes in the heat of the candle and is obtained in such a state of division that it will penetrate most gas masks, of which there will probably be other types. It is a very extensive use in the future. It is the greatest step made thus far in the new use of smoke." CATS DO NOT RECOGNIZE MILK Refuse to Drink Strange Liquid in Hungary—Pet Dogs Turn Vagrants. Budapest—Even the cats and dogs of Central Europe have degenerated as a result of the war, says Professor Balkanyi, director of the veterinary schools here, who is investigating how the habits of domestic animals have been livened by that cause. Most of the dogs are impaired cats in part of the world refuse to drink milk, because it is unknown to them, due to the lack of milk during the war, the professor asserts. "Both cats and dogs are relapsing to the savage ways of their untimed ancestors," he says. "The vagrancy of dogs is startling. Pet dogs elope from heart-broken mistresses, joining packs of mangy-village dogs, where they live in communist equality." The same authority stated that, besides hydrophilia, nervous diseases and a frequent among animals, and that stock must be replenished from overseas. Man's Gold Tooth Stolen by Expert Pickpocket New Orleans.—There is in New Orleans a pickpocket who is expert enough to fulfill the time-honored specification test of being "able to steal a man's gold teeth." He demonstrated this when he stole a gold tooth which had previously been the property of Adrien A. Chazule, 1030 St. Philip street. However, the tooth happened to be in Mr. Chazule's purse at the time, and it was the purse which the pickpocket took while its owner was a passenger in the Louisiana avenue street car. Slow Clock Costs Railroad Money. Decatur, Ala.—Because the clock in a railroad station was slow, causing her to miss the train on which the body of her dead son was being conveyed, Mrs Ellen Carey has been awarded $500 damages against the Louisville and Nashville railroad. inter-utural It seems rather an oud nobby for anyone to devote a goodly portion of his days to the collection of dolls, old, unique and rare, and gathered from all corners of the earth. A Boston man, who refuses to be further identified, has been following his hobby for many years and probably has the greatest collection of dolls shown in the picture is an Egyptian doll from Achimin, made from papier mache and wax, and dating back to the year 200 B. C. HAPSBURG COACH IN MOVIES Earning 100,000 Crowns a Performance for the Government of the Austrian Republic. Vienna.—The imperial glass coach of the Hapsburg is now earning its keep in the movies at 100,000 crowns a performance. The royal stables have become a burden on the republic and the eight magnificent white horses and some 400 carriages of every description are made to partly earn their keep. They are used to drive members of the assembly to and from their homes, they transport provisions from the American treif and contain of the actresses and singers of the state theater and opera still hold their contracts, providing for gratuitous use of the state carriages. Many horses and carriages were sold soon after the downfall of the monarchy, but many of the gorgeous vehicles and showy horses remain unsalable. This is particularly true of the great glass and gold state coach, in the style of Louis IV., used only on great ceremonial occasions, and said to be the finest piece of coach work extant. POLISH CONSTITUTION UNIQUE Provides That State Shall Care for Children if Neglected by Their Parents. London.—Poland's new constitution probably will contain a provision for care of children by the state which will make it unique, in the opinion of officials here who have seen the draft. The article reads: "Each child deprived of parental care or who is neglected morally or materially, has the right to secure care and aid from the state. The sphere of the state's duties in this capacity will be defined separately by laws, which will foresee as well the protection of mothers who may require aid, before the birth of the child, and the protection of the child in infancy." As far as known hege no constitution in the world includes such a provision. SEEK DIVISION IN ARGENTINA Provinces Are Trying to Form Combination to Lessen Power of Capital. Buenos Aires.—The Argentine provinces are trying to form a combination against Buenos Aires, the capital city. Overtures are being conducted between political leaders of some of the provinces for the formation of a "league of governors" for the purpose of uniting the northern agricultural districts of the country against Buenos Aires and other coastal districts. Some political observers see in this an attempt to return to the former political division of the country into opposing sections, while others maintain that it merely is an economic measure having as its purpose the protection of the productive areas. Wild West Movies in Germany. Karlsruhe, Germany.—Wild west films are prime favorites in the German provincial moving picture theaters. An Arkansas picture with an army of cow-punchers, cowgirls and Indians is one of the films advertised all along the Rhine and in the cities of Bavaria and Baden. GAMBLING ORGY SWEEPS NATION GAMBLING ORGY SWEEPS NATION "7 Come 11" Is Now United States Anthem to the Tune of Two Billion Dollars. FRENZY SEIZES THE COUNTRY Treasury Officials Deeply Concerned Over Situation—May Make General Appeal to Public to Check Gambling. Washington, D. C.—Approximately $2,000,000,000 changed hands last year as a result of the gambling mania, it was estimated here on the basis of information reaching government heads through official and unofficial channels. Treasury officials are deeply concerned over the situation, which indicates, they say, that the United States is still clinging to wasteful and extravagant habits that grew up since the armament. The situation has been brought to the attention of Secretary of Treasury Houston. Director William Mather Lewis of the savings division now is considering whether a general appeal to the public through ministers and civic societies would be effective in checking gambling. Frenzy Seizes Nation. Lewis has just returned to Washington from a trip through the country in which he gave some attention to a study of the situation. “Gambling at cards and betting on racing has reached a frenzy never before equaled,” he said. “Thousands appear to be engaged in it in one form another, either as betting commissioner or dealer. “It is true that money changing ownership through games of chance does not represent economic waste. But seldom are winskins put to any useful economic purpose. "The federal government, of course, is powerless to act to check the mania except through a moral appeal." No Loes, But No Gain. Nearly $1,000,000,000 was won at poker and other card games alone this year, it was estimated. Tax receipts on sales of playing cards now average more than $3,000,000 a year. This indicates the sale of 40,000,000 cards alone cost more than $15,000,000. At every race meeting that lasts a week several million dollars change hands at the tracks, it is estimated. This includes no estimate of the vast aggregate of sums wagered at places distant from the tracks through betting commissioners. U. S. DOOMS BURROS AS PEST Animals Charged With Destroying the Beauty Of Yellow canyon of Colorado Washington.—The lowly burro, enshrined in western legend as the heroic prospector, has been officially classed as a "veritable pest" by the United States government. This animal, and its progeny in countless numbers, abandoned by its former owners, according to Stephen T. Mather, director of the national park service, has selected the Grand canyon of the Colorado for its habitat, and the availability of the canyon's scenic beauties in consequence are almost disappearing. The burro, Mr. Mather says, "destroys the trails, denatures the grounds and other forage so that native wild game, such as antelope, has been forced out." He adds that "the time is not far distant when radical steps will have to be taken to eliminate the burro evil." SOLUTION FOR FUEL PROBLEM French scientist Urges use of Wind and Water to Replace Coal. Paris—Wind and water hold the solution of the fuel shortage in France, E. Colardeau told his associates at the Academy of Sciences at its last meeting. He presented what he considered proof in the results of an installation on his kitchen faucet of a water turbine which drives a dynamo that charges storage batteries. City pressure on the water, he explained, is sufficient to furnish a household with electric light. In the country, M. Colardeau would install windmills to pump water to elevated tanks and utilize the fall of the water through a pipe to turn the charging turbine. New interest has been taken here in this idea of household installations, because the higher costs of fuel and power, it is considered, may make practicable these water turbines. Serves in Regiment He Commanded. Camp Sherman, O.—James G. Barney, first sergeant of company L, Tenth infantry, is now a "noncom" in an outfit he once commanded. He was an emergency major in the regiment during the war and commanded the regiment during the absence of the colonel. The captain under whom he was commanded seconded him. He has been twenty-seven years in the army and could have had a commission but for a physical detection, which was overlooked during the war emergency. DRIVE ON SPARROWS 700,000 of the Pests Are Killed in Utah. State-Wide Campaign Results in Saving of More Than $100,000 for the Farmers. Washington—Seven hundred thousand English sparrows, each eating six quarts of wheat a year, would mean a feed bill of more than $131,000. Therefore the killing of 700,000 English sparrows means that amount of money saved for the farmers concerned. And nearly 700,000 sparrows were killed in a state-wide campaign in which 783 Utah farmers joined forces to get rid of the pests during the winter months. County agents helped in the campaign, which used 5,243 pounds of pollen. In most cases the bait was made of corn meal and strychnine in accordance with a recount sent out by the biological survey of the United States department of agriculture. It was put up in one-quarter-pound paper bags in the county agent's office. Full instructions were printed on the bags for the use of the poison. Each co-operator receiving the bait agreed to report on the results. Usually the sparrows were enticed for a few days by putting unpoisoned bait in places not frequented by other birds and also inaccessible to the poultry of the farm. Then a few grains of polsoned wheat were put out each day. The dead sparrows were gathered up, counted, and either burned or buried to prevent the sparrow population from spreading. The number of sparrows counted by each farmer was reported to the committeeen or the county agent at the end of the season. As many as 240 dead sparrows were gathered up as the result of a single package of poisoned wheat. It is believed that where care was used in placing the poisoned bait an average of 100,000 sparrows were destroyed. Anchors of Craft Sunk in 1862 Found New York.—There are other things in the sea more interesting than fish to veterans in the perilous north Atlantic trade plied by smacks exclusively in the past and now more successfully by steam trawlers. Capt. Tom Miller of the trawler Petrel brought in from Georges bank two rusty anchors, relics that recalled to shellbacks of his crew the mighty December gale of 1862, in which 19 snacks were lost and 160 fishermen perished. The anchors were fished up on the southeastern edge of the shoal, where the larger part of the wrecks were in the great blow. The veterans say the anchors bore the handwork of Gloucester ship blacksmiths of the period just before the Civil war. STOP WORK AS CAT IS BURIED Animal Had Been at Station Ten Years and Was on Payroll Eight Years. Amarillo, Tex.—All activities in the Fort Worth & Denver City railway offices and shops here stopped for three minutes while the funeral services were held for the office cat. She has been in the railway's passenger station here for ten years and has been on the payrolls of the railroad for eight years. Before the war the official rat catcher of Denver used to receive her monthly pay check of $1.50 regularly. After the war the salary of Puss was boosted to $2.50. The pay was for feed. At the hour of the funeral every wheel in the shops stopped for three minutes. The office force gathered about the grave in the station yard while the burial service was read. A marble slab will mark the grave. FARM LABORERS IN A PLOT Scheming for Great Strike as Spanish Crops Are Ready for the Harvest. Madrid—Discovery of a widespread plot among the Andalusian farm laborers to call a strike as soon as crops are ready for harvest is reported. Agitation has been simmering among farm laborers for a year. Last summer employers were forced pay as high as the minimum wage. Retribution when winter set in, the farmers saying: "You exploited us in the summer; now we dismiss you." In most instances the men had spent their money. Thousands emigrated to North or South America. Meantime, owners of farms have been forming co-operative societies for the purchase of machinery to make up for the loss of laborers, of which there still is a scarcity. Train Boy Lease His Chance. Dayton Q.—Dioessens can turn off the gas, George Miller, conductor, has just turned over to the company officials a package containing $3,000 in currency lost by a woman. $2.40 PER YEAR HOW BRITAIN HOUSES PEOPLE Problem Being Worked Out in Village Only Five Miles From London. PLAN FOR 800,000 HOUSES Colossal Task Involves Expenditure of More Than $100,000,000 Every Year for a Period of More Than Sixty Years. New York.—"It's all jolly well to look to the government to solve your particular housing problem, but at the same time public-spirited men and women, working independently, with the right ideas, can do much toward aiding the government in reducing this problem to a minimum." That in substance is what Mrs. Henrietta Barnett had in mind when, with others interested in community welfare, she established the Hampstead Garden Suburb, five miles from London. "Our village now is a most attractive place," said Mrs. Barnett, at the Cosmopolitan club, New York, where she is staying for a few days before returning to England. "Hampstead Garden Suburb now has a population of about 10,000. The ground was broken for it in 1907 and the present position of this pioneer experiment of town extension, in spite of suspension of building more than six years, is most satisfactory." Her desperate homekeepers in New York would heartily indorse a similar scheme, says the writer of an article published in the Boston Globe. That the housing problem in England has been more serious than that in New York is indicated by the statement that England is engaged in the colossal task of building 800,000 homes for her people at the tremendous cost of more than $100,000,000 every year for a period of more than sixty years. The necessity of sheltering homeless people became so acute that the government adopted this plan. In 1927 it will be considered again by the government. If it proves practicable, it may be continued; if not, some improved scheme may be substituted for it. It will the various municipalities issue bonds to carry out their particular schemes. Houses thus built are rented at the lowest possible rate and any deficiency beyond a certain figure is guaranteed by the national government. This plan is helping to meet the present great and urgent housing emergency of England. After long years passed in University settlement work, with her husband, the noted Canon Barnett, vicar of St Jude's Whitechapel, for which they were the inspiration in England, Mrs. Barnett evolved her ideas for a country community in which every family could have its own bath and its own garden. Part of this village, Mrs. Barnett explained, "was built around an open space of eighty acres. In addition to the woods there are public gardens, playgrounds and sheltered seats which may be enjoyed by all the tenants, whatever rents they may. "The village represents a true community spirit and has been the means of promoting a better understanding between various classes by arranging that people with different sizes of income may live on the estate. It is not a charity enterprise. It is self supporting and has made for the happiness and improved health of the families who have taken cottages at Hampstead Garden Suburb. **Health Side Important.** "As the home makers and home dwellers, and as the house is the shell of the home, women should have a voice in housing plans. The Queen Anne style in the front with the Mary Ann style at the back," to quote Sir Edwin Lutens, must not continue when it means all the beauty and comfort for the rich and ugliness and discomfort for the domestic worker." Speaking of the health side of the housing plan known throughout Great Britain as the "model village," Mrs. Barnett told how the district medical officer weighed and measured the village children and found them taller, heavier and broader than those of the village in the city. "That report was most gratifying to me." Mrs. Barnett commented, "because the pale faces of the little children of the Whitechapel district with which my husband and myself were so familiar, keep haunting me and urging me on to do something of this kind. "I believe that the solution of many of our national differences and difficulties lies in a more neighborly attitude, not separation or isolation. Architects too often study how to get as many people as possible housed in a small space. It is hoped that those concerned with town planning will consider the natural intermixing of all social classes and the communion of the handicapped with the happy." Governor Pardons His Auto. Lexington, Ky.-Polec took Gov. E. P. Morrow's car to the station because a traffic officer claimed it was improperly parked. "I've come to pardon my car," the governor said, and after a warning, was permitted to drive it away. No. 301-2 Court, 24 E. 4th st. J. Q. ADAMS, Manager. PHONE: N. W. CEDAR 5649.

SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 SECRETARY JOHNSON OF N. A. A. C.P. CONFERS WITH PRESIDENT. Secretary James W. Johnson, Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored People, in a recent conference with President Harding, emphasized the important fact that the national association was not interested in the parceling out of petty jobs, but that its interest was in the enactment of measures to relieve oppressive conditions affecting colored people. The specific points discussed were 1. Passage of a federal anti-lynching law by Congress. 2. A wide and thorough investigation of peonage conditions in the Southern states, to be made by the Department of Justice, followed by the punishment of the perpetrators of the peonage system. 3. An investigation of disfranchisement in the South and the right of the Negro to vote under the identical qualifications required of other citizens. 4. The appointment of a National Inter-racial Commission to make a thorough study of race relations. 5. Congressional investigation of both military and civil acts of the American occupation in Haiti. 6. The appointment of colored assistant secretaries in the Departments of Labor and Agriculture. 7. The abolishment by executive order of all race segregation in the Departments at Washington and the United States Civil Service. Some of the things asked for are good, but others are bad, as we shall endeavor to show editorially in our next issue. We also believe that point No. 7 should come first, as it is a matter which can be handled by the President without any discussion or suggestions from either his cabinet or the Congress, and we have it on the authority of William Monroe Trotter and others that the President when a candidate for the office promised that he would issue such an order. That is the fundamental proposition upon which everything else rests. Let segregation by the Federal government cease. THE SIN OF SILENCE To sin by silence protest makes con- The human race ha test.

The few who dare must speak and speak again to right the wrongs of many.—Ella Wheeler Wilcox. It is nauseating to read the rot given out by R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee, as he travels through the South in jimcarrow 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; etcetra. Why even Tuskegee Institute which furnishes Principal Moton his bread and butter is the gift of the North. Northern people have given 95 percent 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 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. NAUSEATING. ce when we should wards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- l serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of er Wilcox. 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 pariah 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 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. 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 WHO DARES who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, nt, may condemn, of relatives may be when they are attacked. For some time past Henry Ford the billionaire automobile maker, has been printing a lot of dirty stuff against 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.

M., held one of the largest and most interesting meetings in the history of the lodge. The regular routine business was transacted, including the conferring of the 1st and 2nd degrees upon three candidates. The members then took up the special business of determining the advisability of using the elegant property the lodge has owned for many years, 589 Rondo street, for their lodge home. Mr. C. W. Wigington, the architect, who has been working on plans for some time, was called in and submitted his plans for making the property an ideal Lodge Home. The first flood will contain a lounging room, library, dining room and kitchen. The second floor will contain lodge room, ante-room, preparation and committee rooms. The matter was discussed at length pro and con, and finally the plans submitted were unanimously approved. The work on the building will be started as soon as the present tenants vacate the premises. When completed Pioneer Lodge may boast of possessing the only exclusive Masonic Home of its kind in the country. The committee that will have charge of the work comprise: J. H. Dillingham, W. M.; John Thomas, S. W.; Walker Williams, Treas.; W. A. Hilyard, Trustee; W. T. Francis, Trustee and Attorney. Statement of the Ownership, Management, Circulation, Etc.

Forty enjoyed the prayer meeting Wednesday evening, despite the rain. Come early and get a good seat. The old choir sang gloriously in the morning, and the young choir delighted our souls in the evening service. The trustees are urging a better attendance upon the part of the older members of the church, and the deacons are endeavoring to secure a larger attendance of the new members. The deacons are somewhat in the lead. Preaching tomorrow at 11:00 a. m. and 8:00 p. m. S. S. at 9:45 a. m. B. Y. P. U. at 6:30 p. m. "Come, let us reason together" with God. NORTH CENTRAL AFRICA. In North Central Africa, we have the great Sahara desert. It is not all desert, however, as there are numerous oases, large and small, where they have water and vegetation and people. So we are finding missionary fields in the midst of the great desert. Some railroads are being built along the line of the chief caravan routes, so that some of these interior fields are becoming accessible by railroad, and the camel, the ancient "Ship of the Desert," is not so much used. Across on the eastern coast of Africa we have Abyssinia, which is the ancient Ethiopia of the Bible. In the 8th chapter of Acts we read that the Ethiopian eunuch went up to Jerusalem to worship. He was, obviously, a Jewish worshiper, but not yet a Christian. On his way home, Philip, the Evangelist, fell in with him and got up into his chariot and preached unto him Jesus, and he was happily converted and baptized and went on his way耶穎君; we tradition believed that the he went on and preached the gospel to his own people; and, so, no doubt, was the first Christian gospel preacher in the great continent of Africa. We also traditionally understand that the apostle Matthew lived and labored and died in Ethiopia. In the northeastern corner of Africa, we have Egypt. The descendants of the ancient Egyptians are still there. We know them as the Coptic people, and their church is Coptic church. They are Christians in a way, but not a very good way. They have a system of church organization, a system of priesthood and a form of church worship, but not much Bible in it. This always results in weakness whether on the part of the individual Christian, or the local church, or the denomination, or the Christian world at large. The missionaries are going to these Coptic people with the open Bible, and reading it to them, and teaching and encouraging them to read it for themselves, and they are slowly coming into better things. Mission stations have been established here and there for many miles up and down the Nile river The Mohammedans are alarmingly active in Northern Africa, and this is one of our missionary problems. Cyrene is in Northern Africa, and as we do not know of any other Cyrene, we are confident that Simon, who carried the cross for Jesus, was from Northern Africa. There was much Christian activity in Northern Africa during the apostolic period, and also during the period of the church fathers. Among the great men of the early church in Northern Africa, there was Athanasius, bishop of Alexandria, Cyprian, bishop of Carthage, and Augustine, bishop of Hippo. Northern Africas has a mixed population, consisting of the native African people and people from Europe and people from Asia, which enlarges the missionary problem. But from the missionary viewpoint, we regard problems as opportunities. Go to bed "with the chickens' Get up with the sun Work like the chickens do. Until the day is done.
