YANKEES LIKE WESTERN TALES YANKEES LIKE WESTERN TALES Doughboys on the Rhine Show Preference for Stories of Adventure in the West. JULIUS CAESAR A FAVORITE Activity of Caesar in Rhine Valley Makes Transitions of His Gallic Wars of Interest to Soldiers—Legends Also Popular. Coblenz—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 doughbys, who are very keen about translations of Caesar's activities in the Rhine valley and the ruing 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, Bobieren, 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 general public of the reading taste of the army and finds that foreign residence has not won the young Americans away from fiction laid 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 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 branch Libraries at Andernach and Mayen, as through the American base hospice and the main library in Coblenz. Turned Oyer 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 officers' 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 of using the library, but this has been denied, as the army did not think it would be possible. And it briarian 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, awaiting death in a poultry shop, chorused an alarm for fire that caused heavy property loss when 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.

Increase of 31,387 for Last Ten Years Is Shown—Total Area of Indian Lands 589,111 Acres. Green Bay, Wis.—The Indian population of the United States, according to Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, is 336,337, as against 904,950 ten years ago, showing an increase of 31,387. The Onelida Indian reservation, near here, has a population of 2,657, Commissioner Sells' annual report states. Although no figures for last year are available, he believes this year's total is a substantial increase over that of 1916. Population of other Indian reservations in this vicinity show: Keshaena school, 5,023, including a large number of students from the Onelida reservation school, which was closed last year; Launa agency 364, Winnebugo, 1,251; Menominee, 1,760. Wisconsin has a total Indian population of 10,319, Commissioner Sells reports. Marriages last year between Indians and whites total nine in the state, while those between Indians totaled seventy-eight. Of the total number of Indians in Wisconsin, 3,461 are Protestants and 1,995 Catholics. The total area of Indian lands in the state is shown as 549,111 acres. Keshaena reservation is the largest having 231,690 acres. Tuberculosis is still the "white plague" among the Indians, but the commissioner details the progress made in fighting it, a series of lessons in sanitation and correct living.

Greenock, Scotland. — With great solemnity the remains of Mary Campbell, Robert Burns" "Highland Mary" were transferred from the Old West kirk yard here to a new grave in Greenock cemetery. The removal was necessitated by an extension of a local shipyard. From the spot where Mary was buried 184 years ago the coffin was borne reverently on the shoulders of representatives of the clubs from all over the country to its new resting place, and a large crowd of Burns admirers attended an impressive funeral service. The monument which Burns admirers erected on Mary's grave in 1842 covers the new tomb. Human Fly Helps Anchor Shabby Walls New York—Aided by a "human fly," workman assumed the hazardous task of anchoring totering walls of the nine-story Strathmore apartment and store building at Broadway and Fifty-second street, half of which collapsed Wednesday, burying it is believed, seven workmen in debris. While the steeple jack in the glare of powerful searchlights scaled the walls and at each tier made fast cables anchored in the center of the structure, a corps of firemen dug in tons of brick and plaster below searching for bodies of victims.

CARRY 115,163 BY AIR No Lives Lost in the Commercial Service. Records Show a Total of 3,138,550 Mileage—Many Minor Accidents and Forced Landings. New York.—A total of 115,163 passengers flew 3,138,550 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 titerant nature of much of the flying, it has been difficult to trace and record more than half of these. This one half, by eighty-seven companies, or "individuals, are permanently located 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 fee of $12,50 was charged. An increasing demand for aerial transportation between the cities has been noted, the 'average charge for this service being 65 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 41,300 pounds. "There were accidents and forced landings, but according to the signed reports from the eighty-seven companies, in the 3,136,550 miles flown, not a single life was lost. There were 222 forced landings and thirty-eight accidents. There 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 did a drop of 130 feet into only six feet of water and broke nothing other than the dam. 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 it, the mourners gathered to pick up the man, John blinked, shook his head and told the man 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 Offence; 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 delivered 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 other's 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.

POVERTY SPURS GENIUS OF POOR 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 - Siflers of Refuse Find So Much Profit Capitalists Crowd Them Out. Vienna.—The Viennese of the poorer 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 cabstands washed the spokes of the wheels and the hoofs of the horses when the cab came back 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 down by misfortune and her citizens have no money for anything but the bare necessaries 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 bear 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 blits 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 over the product of the coke-burners efforts and distributed it to the members 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 Schottengymnasium) 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. Genteel Dancers for Hire. In one of the most popular night restaurants an elegant couple appears every evening at the same hour and is evenpooled enthusiastically by the owner and the regular guests. These two open the dimly lit a fox trot around the room. They are considered the most faithful guests of 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 crown 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 crown a month, treats them with the greatest respect as the most honored of the place and gives them an excellent champagne supper every night. Why should they learn Greek and Latin mathematics and history when fox trotting promises so when 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 Brooklyn Building Who Prevents Explosion. 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 dick 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 firing shots at him. Dentist Sent Airplane After Patient Little Sioux, I—Insisting that William Peterson, farmer, should have dental work done immediately, dentist of Ounah, Neb, sent an airplane after him to save time for the busy farmer. 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 missed in their search for quarrels. The time they met they bowed 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 Sante prison for the last 20 months awaiting trial on charges growing out of the disappearance of 11 women, relied was dispossessed from the flat that he had built on the Rochechauzi, a rather 'dull' section of Paris. Requests came from every quarter in Paris, some even from aristocratic Auteuil, asking that the flat be reserved. A vagrant just finishing 30 days in La Sante 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 Husband, 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 streets 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 enjoyed 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 circuit 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 left a trail of party 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 followees. Fell Dead into Grave He Was Digging. Decatur, Mich. Overcome by heart disease while digging a grave in the cemetery, Edward Youllis, seventy-three years old, a sexton, fell dead into the grave and was found there by his wife. SMUGGLERS RUN WILD Traffic Carried on Huge Scale on German Border. Customs Officials Are in Plots and Government Is Unable to Check Evil. Berlin—Smuggling over the Dutch and Danish frontiers, which the German government had gone to great effort to suppress, again is flourishing "on a colossal scale," and at some points with the full knowledge and connivance of many government officials, according to reports reaching here. Smugglers are declared to be outbidding the government for the aid of dishonest officials, and the "veritable army of customs officers on the borders have permitted millions of marks worth of tobacco, cigars, cigarettes, coffee and sugar to cross the border duty free within the last few months." Flying squadrons of customs office have been organized by the government to catch the smugglers who are said to have so thoroughly systemized their operations that "customs receipts are rapidly falling back to nothing, for custom control is again only on paper." Fifty thousand pounds of coffee are being smuggled over the border daily at one point, a report says, and smugglers everywhere are working with the sympathetic and assistive of all dwellers along the frontiers. Men, women and even children, are said to be engaged in this trade. High prices, low wages of customs officials and the depreciated value of the mark is credited as one of the principal causes for the widespread violation of import and export regulations. The smugglers are described as being so well organized and so confident they carry on their business "by wholesale scale, and quite openly." Count 'em. Forty on each ear. It is one of the big customs of the "Garo Fills" tribe in India for a warrior's widow to wear these unique earrings as a means of showing her sorrow. GREENLAND IS MOVING WEST Danish Scientists Figure It Has Traveled 875 Miles in 100,000 Years. Copenhagen.—Greenland is slowly moving in a westerly direction. According to observations made in 1907 by P. Koch of the Danish Mylus Enclosure scientific expedition, Greenland was three minutes further west than in 1870, when a German expedition made astronomical observations. In both instances the same northern latitude was found. Therefore, Greenland moved west 1,333 yards in 37 years. The first observation of the longitude of Greenland was made in 1823. Comparing the findings in 1823 and 1870 one arrives at the conclusion that Greenland was westerly every year. That tends to show that Greenland and Norway, now about 875 miles apart, once were connected, the separation taking place 50,000 or 100,000 years ago. Weasel Leaps Into Jaws of 'Gator for Safety Pascagoula, Miss—A party of hunters which has just returned here from Bayou Casotte reports that on Saturday the men saw an alligator prepare to attack a weasel, whereupon the weasel, with remarkable alacrity, leaped into the 'gator's extended jaws and slid down into its stomach. The hunters say they were astonished at the actions of the weasel and awaited results. Within fifteen minutes they observed the weasel eating its way through the entralls of the monster. According to the hunters, the fondness for eggs prompted the slender animal to take its chances in the alligator. Consumers Back Textile Mills. Gera, Germany—A great consumers' association has been formed at this manufacturing center of Thuringia to provide employment to the mills in an attempt to force down prices and relieve unemployment. $2.40 PER YEAR RICH FORSAKE FIFTH AVENUE Tradesmen Steadily Break Exclusiveness of Noted Residence District of New York. MRS. VANDERBILT LEADS WAY New Exclusive District Expected to I 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 exclusi- ness of Fifth avenue, known the world over as the home precinct of the Vander- bilts, Carnegies, Harimans, 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 change in Fifth avenue was reflected in the recent purchase of property bordering the East river at Fifth- eight street by Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, Sr., where she intends to build a home in a section known as Sutton square. This bit of property is directly across from Blackwell's island, where a city prison is located, and is almost underneath the Manhattan approach to the Queensborough bridge. 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, said 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 ninety, when real estate men began to get options on property near the magnificent mansions. Members of the Vanderbilt family and others owning homes there expended millions of dollars in buying property in an effort to stem the tide. Much of this property was purchased at exorbitant figures, and after a lapse years has fallen back for business use, Hotels, banking houses, jewelry stores, millinery and fine tailoring establishments have gradually crept perthward along the thoroughfare. The home which Mrs. Vanderbilt is forsaking at Fifth avenue and Fifty-second street will become the site of a trust company. Its sale was made possible as the result of the death of Mr. Vanderbilt in Paris, when the house, owned by his estate, was sold to the highest bidder. The first actual break in the Vanderbilt holdings came when Gen. Cornelius Vanderbilt leased his house and Fifty-fourth street to a shoe firm. 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 Vilions Fatal Crash—Becomes Mute and Hair Turns White. Onawa, Iowa.—A total loss of speech followed a dream in which M. H. Jessen, a farmer, dreamed that he saw his wife and children mangled under an overturned 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. Awakening, he frantically waved his arms and opened and closed his mouth, but could not speak. 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 avertening a fatal crash. Jessen appears to have been struck permanently deaf, and his hair has turned white. Minera 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. 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.

SATURDAY, APRIL 30, 1921. CLASSMATES REPUDIATE DIS- CRIMINATION. Students in the political science department of the University of Minnesota are not willing to have racial discriminations made in classes. They repudiated the action of Professor Jeremiah Young, who omitted the name of Wildard Morrow, a colored student, when he was assigning seats in alphabetical order, by voting to permit Morrow to take his place in alphabetical sequence with the other students. Professor Young told Morrow, he could take a seat at either side or in the rear of the room. Morrow protested that he should be allowed to be seated as the others, threatening to quit the class. He appealed to his fellow students. Professor Young, filled with an unholy prejudice, at first refused to accede, but the matter was put to a vote and the students decided that Morrow should be seated by alphabetical sequence. Good! "OF ONE BLOOD." We have frequently read of certain tests being employed to determine the presence of Negro blood in individuals who were so fair and Caucasianlike in appearance that such tests were deemed necessary by persons who for some reason wished to know without doubt. All great scientists who have investigated the matter have decided that such tests are not reliable and of no value whatever; and, now, comes Dr. Brady, an eminent authority, who edits a column in a number of daily papers who answers a questioner by saying: "NO SUCH TESTS ARE KNOWN." And the Bible told us long ago that God made all men of one blood. ALDERMAN ANDERSON FLOOR LEADER.

ATLANTA CELEBRATES. Atlanta, the barbarous capital of murderous Georgia, is to celebrate May 24. The affair to be pulled off in the capital city of the more or less grand old commonwealth is in honor of Henry W. Grady. Grady was the real father of the segregation propaganda movement which was carried into the North. He was one of the most bitter and unrelenting foes of the colored people the country has ever produced; but his hostility was cloaked under a "Christian interest in the welfare of the negro." He did not hesitate to go to Boston in the state of Garrison and Sumner, and at a public dinner advocate segregation for colored citizens. He said the South would provide equal but separate accommodations on railroads and in public places. Of course the Southern people had no intention of providing any kind of equality for colored people even along segregated lines, because the whites are taught from the cradle up that colored people are inferior. The South does not believe that a colored person is a human being in the same sense that a white person is. Just now there is a great hullabaloo about "treating the negro with justice" because "outsiders" that is the U. S. Department of Justice came into the state and unearthed the peonage murders. Now the Georgia governor and a few other whites are afraid that Northern capital will be diverted from the state, so a clean-up has been started. Let us hope there will be a sincere effort to punish those guilty of atrocities. MR. HARDING'S CHANCE. For eight years one-twelfth of the citizenry of the United States suffered from the humiliation of segregation in the civil service of the country. It was a condition forced by President Wilson, who while delivering his smooth talks about world democracy, used his great power to humiliate and degrade millions of his fellow countrymen. Wilson considered himself a superman, and his ambition was to be the president of a super-government and go down in history as the greatest man who ever lived. Repudiated at the ballot box by his countrymen, he is today, according to all accounts a physical wreck. And as he sits in his easy chair, his keen intellect is tortured by the spectres of his defeated ambitions. Mr. Harding, you have the power to wipe out the President Wilson's great wrong to the colored people. You have stated on many occasions that you believe in equality of citizenship. You have the power to issue an executive order abolishing segregation in the departments at Washington and in the Civil Service of the United States. THE WOMEN AT CLEVELAND, The National League of Women Voters at their Cleveland session formulated a plan to work for the "abolition of all sex discrimination that Congress has the power to deal with." Effort will also be made to THE MAN WHO DARES I honor the man entious discharge o stand alone; the w intolerant judgmen the countenances o averted, and the he cold, but the sense be sweeter than th world, the counten the hearts of friend 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. once when we should awards out of men. has climbed on pro- been raised against me and lust, the in- sil serve the law, and our least disputes. we must speak and right the wrongs of her Wilcox. have all state laws modified where they exist to the discriminatino of women. This is quite different from the national colored organizations which, without exception, compromise on some fundamental point and while in some cases pretend to be working to abolish segregation, are actually seeking to establish it in one form or another. The jimcrow colored leaders ought to wash their dirty hands and "come clean," and then join their brothers who are fighting for the removal of all legal hindrances, by asking Congress to pass a blanket bill removing all racial discriminations with which it has the power to deal. THE RACE QUESTION. In his first message to Congress, President Harding said: "Congress ought to wipe the stain of barbaric lynching from the banners of a free and orderly, representative democracy. We face the fact that many millions of people of African descent are numbered among our population and that in a number of the states they constitute a very large proportion of the total population. "It is unnecessary to recount the difficulties incident to this condition, nor to emphasize the fact that it is a condition which cannot be removed. There has been a suggestion, however, that some of its difficulties might be ameliorated by a humane and enlightened consideration of it, a study of its many aspects and an effort to formulate, if not a policy, at least a national attitude of mind calculated to bring about the most satisfactory possible adjustment of relations between the races, and of each race to the national life. "One proposal is the creation of a commission embracing representatives of both races, to study and report on the entire subject. The proposal has real merit. I am convinced in mutual tolerance, understanding, charity, recognition of interdependence of the races and the maintenance of the rights of citizenship lies the road to righteous adjustment." A REAL RELIGION. The Bahaist Congress is in session in Chicago. The Bahaist faith is different from the larger Christian sects in that it not only believes in, but practices, the brotherhood of man. To Christians, except a few of the small sects, a colored man is a "nigger"; to the Bahaists he is a brother in fact. The Bahaists are building in Willmette, a Chicago suburb, a $1,000,000 temple, called Mashrak el Askar. MINNESOTA'S ANTI-LYNCHING LAW. The colored people of Minnesota are much elated over the passage of what is known as the "Anti-Lynching Law," this week; which provides that as much as $7,500 may be recovered by the kin of a person lynched by a mob; and, that the sheriff of any county in which a lynching occurs, may be suspended from office if he does not fully protect prisoners from mobs. Thus the great state of Minnesota falls in line with the states of Alabama, Louisiana, Kentucky, South Carolina, Kansas, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, California, Maine, New Hampshire, Illinois, New Jersey and Wisconsin, which have laws involv- who in the consci- of his duty dares to world, with ignorant, ant, may condemn, of relatives may be parts of friends grow of duty done shall the applause of theances of relatives or Charles Sumner ing all or a part of the provisions of the Minnesota law. There appears to be no doubt of the constitutionality of the law, as the U. S. Supreme Court in the case of Louisiana vs. New Orleans, 109 U. S. 285, decided that laws of that character are valid. Mrs. W. T. Francis of St. Paul is the author of the law; and, to her indefatigible labors, in its behalf, with the members of the legislature is its successful passage due. Capt. Sumner W. Kittelle, U. S. N., has been assigned to duty as governor of the Virgin Islands of the United States, and commanded of the naval base. He succeeds Rear-Admiral J. W. Oman as chief United States official in the new American possession purchased from Denmark. The islands have a population of about 27,000—23,000 colored and 4,000 white. The St. Paul Pioneer Press says: "The world is making progress when a Georgia jury convicts a white man of murder for killing 11 Negroes, but a recommendation of mercy accompanies the verdict. Which raises the question, how many he would have to kill to be entitled to no mercy?" We would like to know, too. Senator McCormick of Illinois is pushing his bill for a lynch quiz. It would be all right if he'd leave off the inter-racial relations part. There is enough in the lynching quiz, to keep a commission busy for some time. It is said that the Ku Klux Klan has about 7,000 members in Chicago. A Klan has been organized among the white servants of wealthy residents of Lake Forest, a suburb.

Memorial Baptist Church was organized in August, 1914, by a number of its present members, who called Rev. E. H. McDonald to its pastorate. Under his leadership the present property was secured, pews were purchased and $3,000 were paid on the debts of the church, which was a splendid record for his short pastorate. The work began to lag, however, when McDonald accepted a call to Pittsburgh Pa. Through his recommendations, a call was tendered to Rev. T. J. Carr, who, at that time, was general missionary for the Iowa Baptist Association. In an effort to retain his services the Association increased his salary; but, following the Lord's direction, he accepted the call to Memorial and entered its pastorate, more than four years ago. When he came, the church was struggling under debts amounting to over $6,000, many of these debts were urgently paid off. These debts, with accruing interest, creased to more than $7,000, all of which have been paid and the mortgage on the property has been canceled and burned. The church now has a handsome bank account and no debts whatever. The membership of the church has more than doubled in the last three years; and, for constructive work, Memorial stands in the front rank. Too much cannot be said in praise of the members of this church, or the friend's work worked with them. During this month, the church has surpassed all previous records in Sunday school and prayer meeting attendance, and in the number taking the Holy Communion. Rev. T. J. Carr received his literary and theological training at Roger Williams University, Nashville, Tenn., which he entered at the age of 16 and remained until he was 23. He holds two literary and a theological diploma from this school. He was a house of worship of the race in the house of Kansas, and at the same time held the chain of mathematics in the Topeka Industrial Institute. In various capacities he has served the race with eminent success. In early life he edited a newspaper at Clarksville, Teann., and was elected to the legislature of Tennessee, but was counted out by the Democrat machine, is is vice president of the National Baptist Committee for the nosta, and president of the Twin City Inter-denominational Ministerial Alliance. He is affable and unassuming, and attributes his success to the guidance and help of Almighty God. NEW BANK IN CHICAGO. Chicago. — The Douglass National Bank, 32nd and State streets, the first national banking institution controlled by colored people has received its charter. P. W. Chavers, women's garment manufacturer, at 534 W. 43rd street, is president. The bank has $200,000 capital and $50,000 surplus. Mr. Caesar Harris, 679 St. Anthony Ave., returned recently from St. Louis, where he went to attend the funeral of his father. Miss Loucella-James, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. E. James, 632 W. Central Ave., fell down the steps at her home on last Saturday and in attempting to protect herself threw her weight on her left hand, thereby fracturing several bones. Miss James is able to be abount with her hand in a sling. DO IT NOW! "I plan to build a nifty shack," the thoughtful voter sighs, "when normal times again come back, and costs don't hit the skies. I'll go about the business sharp, nor waste a golden day, when guests consent to carp for wages I can paint, plaster, nails and lime are sold or what they're worth I shall not lose a moment's time—I'll build with pep and mirth. The house I've dreamed of in the past will go up, board by board, when plasterers consent to plaster for what I can afford." A million men are talking thus, and if they'd go and build and cease to brood and fret and cuss, with dire misgivings filled, we'd soon get back to normalcy—you've heard of that, mayhap; the normalcy that Warren G has placed upon the map. Alas, poor dreaming, hopeful men, what are you waiting for? You'll never see the price again you saw before the war. Far better that your coin were spent for lumber, lath and lime than keep on digging up the rent until the end of time. So rock your doubts and fears to sleep and buy some brick or stone and build yourself a donjon keep that you can call your own. WALT MASON.

The most unparalleled criminal assault ever perpetrated in St. Paul or anywhere else, so far as known—occurred Wednesday night, last, about 10:30 o'clock, on Kent street between Fuller and W. Central. Mrs. Martha Kennedy, 570 Fuller, aged 54, was on her way home; when she reached the alley between the streets named, a well-dressed white man about 30 years old grabbed her and holding a pistol against her side told her if she made the slightest outcry he would kill her. He dragged her into the alley brutally choking her, threw her on the ground and proceeded to assault her, all the while threatening to cut her if she made any resistance or noise. Mrs. Kennedy pleaded with the brute, but to no purpose other than that, as she believes, her pleading saved her life; though she was nearly dead when she crawled to her home, only a stone's throw away. Dr. Valko Turner was immediately called and gave medical aid and made the sufferer as comfortable as possible under the circumstances. The police authorities have the matter in hand and are working upon it. The people generally sympathizing very much with the unfortunate victim of the brute. The general consensus of opinion is that the assailant was unbalanced in mind.

Of this number, 51,452 were white and 490 were colored. For the same year, deaths in Minnesota were 24,916, of which 24,479 were white and 437 colored. These figures show that the white gained 27,073, or that their gain in births over deaths is 110%. The colored gained 53, or only 12% of births over deaths. In this case, the rate of gain from births over deaths, among the whites, is nine times as great as it is among the colored. These alarming facts show the high death rate which prevails among colored people and are a sad commentary upon the ignorant or careless violation of the laws of health upon the part of the heedless or untutored ones. The above figures should be sufficient to convince them of the vital importance of learning and observing the laws of hygiene and health. Shall we allow the race to go on because of ignorance and carelessness, shall we institute a general campaign of community instruction and get their eyes open concerning this very vital matter? This serious matter should be given prompt attention through some form of community work. MR.

The fresh air cure will help a great deal. This has its application to both in doors and out of doors. The take-off your coat feeling indicates that your room needs ventilating. Better keep your coat on and open the window. To keep the room cooler, and dress warmer, is better for health. To take chest expanding exercises so as to increase the breathing capacity, and get out in the fresh air will help a great deal. The sunshine treatment, both in doors and out, supplements the fresh air treatment. The water cure treatment will help a great deal. Water, to a considerable extent, as a substitute for tea and coffee, especially at night, will be a great help. An optimistic attitude of mind will help a great deal when it comes to nervous and other troubles. "A merry heart dooth good like a medicine." One's attitude of mind is the determining factor in many cases. A cheerful and hopeful attitude is no friend to disease. Self-assertion will help a great deal. To lay down on the job of life, encourages physical and mental ailments, while to get a mental grip on one's self will help towards both prevention and cure. Self-assertion will help a great deal. To keep going in the work of life, uses up the stale tissues of the body. An inactive body, like a stagnant pool, becomes a breeding place Turner H. Hopkins Aderson S. Salter 50 CENTS for disease. Bodily activity, or the want of it, is the turning point in many cases. Regularity in eating, and drinking, and sleeping, and working will help a great deal. This is really what partly transforms many of our soldier boys from weaklings into athletes. Eating the plainer foods, rather than too much sweets and pastry and fancy dishes, will help a great deal, and verify the old saying, that: "Prevention is better than cure." Using medicines sparingly, rather than excessively, will help a great deal. One of the temptations is to use medicine excessively until it becomes a habit of life. To give nature a chance and let it alone, rather than tinkering at it, will help a great deal. This, in many cases, will be found to be all that is necessary. To assume against one's ailments, rather than for them, will help a great deal. There is quite an extent which the assumption is father to the fact. You may be old and as sick as you assume yourself to be. So to refrain from making one's ailments the chief topic of thought and conversation will help a great deal. One of the blessings of being poor is that we have to be busy with things other than our own ailments. FROM WHAT TO WHAT? By E. W. Gilles. For this my son was dead, and is alive again, he was lost and is found.—Luke 15:24. It was meet that we should make merry and be glad, for this thy brother was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found.—Luke 15:32. Verily, verily, I say unto you, he that heathret my word, and believeth on Him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation, but is passed from death unto life.—St. John 5:24. And you hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins.—Ephesians 2:1. Even when we were dead in sins hath he been together with Christ.—Ephesians 2:5. Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of His dear Son.—Colossians 1:13. And you that were sometimes alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled.—Colossians 1:21.
