VAST DIRIGIBLE LINE IS PLANNED
Corporation Is Formed for the Promotion of Commercial Flying in United States.
BIG MEN BEHIND PROJECT
First Line to Be Operated Will Be From New York to Chicago—Airships to Be of Modified Zeppelin Type—Use Helium Gas.
Washington.—The formation of a gigantic corporation for commercial navigation of the air in this country, through the establishment of regular lines over which will be operated huge dirigible airships of the modified Zeppelin type, was announced by the United States chamber of commerce.
The corporation will be known as General Air Service, its incorporators and the company include some of the best-known men and one country. Definite plans for the construction of huge dirigibles in Germany have been formed, the whole dirigible situation has been studied from an advanced scientific point of view and, it is announced, the corporation expects to be able to place two large ships in operation in this country in the summer of 1923.
Benedict Crowell is one of the group of financial men and engineers behind the project, and he will be president of the new corporation, which was incorporated on February 1, 1922, of Maryland on Feb. 1, 1922, was formerly assistant secretary of war, was head of the American aviation mission to Europe, and is president of the Aero Club of America.
Field Thoroughly Investigated.
Before going ahead with the incorporation of the General Air Service, which will be the manufacturing and operating company, the men interested in the project formed what was known as the American Investigation corporation, for the purpose of investigating the practicability of the establishment of commercial air service with large rigid airships in this and neighboring countries. In their investigations the representatives of the corporation had the co-operation and assistance of Dr. John Schuette of the Schuette-Lanz Airship company of Germany, and his corps of engineers, also various engineers and associates of other airship authorities of Europe. Dr. Schuette had been in America in the spring of 1920, as had officials of the Zeppelin company, and the information gained from them was of material service in the first formal step—the organization of the American Investigation corporation.
The first line the company hopes to put into operation will be from New York to Chicago, to be extended to Pacific const cities as soon as additional ships can be built. The New York-Chicago line will be opened, it is announced, by two ships, each of which would carry 4,000,000 cubic feet capacity, thereby to be fabricated in Germany and executed in the United States. They are designed to provide accommodations for 100 passengers and 30 toes of small and express matter. It is announced to the plan to build larger ships for lines to South America and Europe when the facilities for complete construction have been gathered.
Dr. Schuette is identified with the new company. It is declared to be the plan to build the later ships in this country, and virtually to transfer a large part of the Zeppelin-making business to the United States.
Plan to Use Helium.
It is not planned to use hydrogen gas, but hellum, in these gigantic new dirigibles which, it is asserted, will embrace the latest modifications of both the Zeppelin and Schuette patients, both of which were combined in the last of the German dirigibles built during the war. It is also asserted that gasoline, another source of fire and explosion, will not be used, and that that motive power will be furnished by oil fuel. The air transport in the United States," says the announcement, "is in the dolrums, and apparently will remain so until it is given legal and economic status by federal or at least by unified state action. Properly developed, with present transportation systems, this new agency can become a most valuable addition to the nation's specialized carrier capacity in peace as well as in war.
"At present nation-wide regulative legislation is greatly needed, not only for the ordinary needs of public safety, but also to establish the legal status and responsibilities of air transport in national and international business. Canada, Australia and European nations already have provided such legislation. Without practical encouragement commercial aeronautics will continue to help foreign development to such an extent as to constitute a menace to future security and to delay fatally the essential commercial development in which America should right stand first."
The report recommends immediate support of basic national legislation on aeronautics providing for appropriate regulatory procedure, adequate facilities in the department of commerce for promoting the regulation and development of commercial air transport operations in interstate and foreign commerce, intrastate legislation, an encouragement of widespread
public support of this essential aeronautical legislation.
In its announcement of the General Air Service company's plans, the chamber of commerce of the United States gives this statement in its official organ from Benedict Crowell: "Our aim is to provide rigid airship service to America first, and, as time goes on, link this continent with the rest of the world by aerial routes; a service supplementing existing methods of transportation, one which will traverse space in a minimum of time and supply a means of travel both safe and comfortable. The transportation is just as necessary to present-day civilization as the railroads were to civilization fifty years ago. In no country in the world is this new method of transportation more necessary than in the United States because of its great expanse of territory and its numerous urban centers of large size. The United States can and should lead the world in the rigid airship field."
Got Information in Europe.
Mr. Crowwell was one of a group that spent much of the spring and summer of 1921 in Europe. They went to airship factories and stations in Germany, France, England and Italy. They made flights in British, ex-German and Italian airships, and secured data covering manufacturing and operating costs not only of airships but of hangars, mooring masts, landing fields and terminal facilities. They secured information and guarding flights over routes in the countries named, passenger accommodations, freight and express handling, fuel and supply statistics, replacement costs, insurance rates and the laws governing air navigation in Europe.
"At the same time," the statement from Mr. Crowell explains, "we were carrying on investigations here in the United States. We looked into the helium question, its cost and probable supply; sources of operating revenue, passenger, freight, express and mail; the most feasible routes over which to start our new service to supplement existing traffic facilities; meteorological data and the effect that our climate will have on a yearly operation schedule; and the thousand and one things which develop into real problems to be addressed in any undertaking of such wide application."
It was in these investigations that the representatives of the American Investigation corporation had the cooperation and capable assistance of Dr. Schuette.
"We uncovered enough evidence early on our trip to Europe," continued Mr. Crowell's statement, "taken with that previously found, to convince us all that the time had arrived for action; that certain conditions abroad, if taken advantage of, would place the United States in the lead in the airship industry, perhaps for all time. Political conditions, reduced rates of fuel, the need for non-employment of airship talent, all these were factors in giving airships a setback in Europe. These factors are to our advantage."
On the return of these investigators from Europe plans were formulated for the organization of the General Air Service company, which starts business with the accumulated data acquired by the American Investigation corporation. The latter corporation has acquired various rights for the construction of German rights throughout the world, secured options on certain aircraft, and acquired including mooring masts, hangars, terminal apparatus and plans and specifications for rigid airships of various capacities for long-distance routes.

daughter of W. E. White, formerly street commissioner, lost a pocketbook on the road between the White home and the Roseburg pike. White's dog, which was playing along the road, found the pocketbook and carried it to a nearby cornfield. The family started a search for the purse, which contained a sum of money and valuable papers. Evidently the dog apprehended the family anxiety, for he went to a cornfield, got the pocketbook and placed it at the feet of its owner. Needless to say he received a liberal reward in a large piece of the best meat.
**Bull Charges Man Carrying Red Light.**
Terrie Haute, Ind—When a car running between Indianapolis and Terre Haute, Ind, struck a herd of cattle on the road, Walsh Alaugh, modern man, took a red lantern and got his car to flag another car. He was charged by a huge white bull. Alaugh got back on the car safely and continued on his trip, leaving the bull in full possession of the tracks.
Court Says Ouija Board Must Pay Amusement Tax
Richmond, Va. — The Ouija board is a game, subject to government revenue tax, the United States Circuit Court of Appeals held in an opinion written by Judge Charles A. Wood, affirming the judgment of the district court at Baltimore in the case of Joshua W. Miles, collector of internal revenue, against the Baltimore Talking Board company, Inc. Judge Waddill concurred. Appelate Judge Martin A. Knapp, presented a dissenting opinion, in which he stated that he was not convinced the Ouija board is a game within the meaning of the revenue act or otherwise.

DISTANCES OF STARS MEASURED
DISTANCES OF STARS MEASURED
New Method Being Employed by Astronomers at Harvard College Observatory.
BASED ON STUDY OF SPECTRUM
Vast Collection of Photographs Now Being Used and Exact Figures No Longer Depend on Old System.
Cambridge, Mass.-The distance from the earth of hundreds of stars are now being measured for the first time at Harvard College Observatory by recently developed methods based upon a study of the spectrum. It has been found that the huge collection of photographs of star spectra, assembled at Harvard during the past generation and numbering over 300,000 plates, can be put to a new use in determining the distance of stars, and the work of measurement is going ahead rapidly.
Many of the vast number of stars whose distances are still unknown are the bright, comparatively nearby southern stars, because nearly all the observatories where stellar distances are measured are located in the northern hemisphere. The Harvard astronomers are therefore concentrating much of their attention upon photographs of southern stars at the Harvard station at Arquela, Pern.
New Method.
The new methods of measuring the distance of a star by a study of its spectrum are based upon discoveries by a number of astronomers. A remarkable contribution to the subject has been made by Dr. Megh Nad Saha, an East Indian, who is assistant professor of physics in the University of Calcutta. Recently the only available method for measuring star distances has been the parallax method, which consists of triangulation, using the diameter of the earth's orbit as a base line. In other words, observations of a star are made at intervals of six months. During this period of six months the observer is carried by the motion of the earth to a point some 186 million miles from that of his first observation, and using this distance as a base line he can work out the distances of the nearer stars. The stars, however, are so vastly remote that the earth that even with a base line of 186 million miles their distances cannot be triangulated.
it that is for these more distant stars that the new methods are used. At the Mount Wilson observatory, W. S. Adams and his associates have succeeded in developing a procedure depending on the lines in the spectra of stars as photographed with large telescopes fitted out with powerful spectroscopes. The lines are due to the absorption of light from the star's surface by the clouds of iron, nickel, calcium and other elements that form its atmosphere. Dr. Bertil Lindblad has provided another method, based upon the examination of the so-called "cyanogen" bands in the spectra. These new methods have been carefully checked by the older ones.
The Next Problem.
Now that methods of measuring star distances from a study of spectra have been worked out, standardized and checked, the next problem is to apply these methods to those thousands of stars whose distances are still unknown. One of the fundamental tasks of astronomy is to determine how the stars are distributed through space, and this can never be known until the distances are measured.
It is this task of applying the new methods for which the Harvard collection of photographs of stellar spectra has been found to furnish excellent material. With a single image, photographs and Cambridge thirty-five years ago give the distance of Alpha Ursee Majoris, one of the "pointers" in the big dipper, as about seventy-two light years. In other words the light now coming in from that star began its journey about 1850, and the light photographed on the Harvard plates in 1887 started in 1815.

Wine Cellar Walled Up
Three Decades Ago Found
Boston.—A wine cellar, including Marylandry and Kentucky bourbon and other good liquor, has been "unwalled" by laborers raising the old Studio building, Tremont and Broomfield streets, famed as the city's "inner temple of the fine arts," that the carefully stored liquor was the property of George Snell, a noted architect and clubman of the city, who died three decades ago, failing to mention on his deathbed his precaution against drought. The cellar was walled up in the foundations.
ZOO'S YOUNGEST BABY
This is a ten-weeks-old leopard, born in the Lincoln park, zoo in Chicago. He is shown in the arms of Keeper Parker.
BRONX HEALTHY FOR BABIES
Most Congested District of New York Has Fewest Death—Chicago Rate 89.68.
New York.—The Bronx, reputed to be one of the country's most congested communities, has the lowest baby death rate in the United States, according to figures made public recently by the Babies' Welfare federation. Buffalo and Pittsburgh are tied for the highest rate of all, 83.6 a thousand births.
The report—shows that of 15,397 babies born in the Bronx last year, only 972 died before a year old, a percentage of 83.1 for each thousand births. In Greater New York the death rate was 77.1.
Los Angeles has the lowest rate, 66.13. Although Chicago and St. Louis were not included in the official figures, an unofficial report, shows Chicago to have had infant mortality rate of 89.68 and St. Louis 61.7.
HOUR GLASS HINT TO SHUT UP
French Deputies Have New Plan to Silence Tiresome Talkers in the Chamber.
Paris. — Tiresome talkers, "windbags" among the French deputies (and they are as common in the chamber as in other parliaments) may soon be awed into conciseness and compactness by the presence at their side of a great half-hour sand glass.
Their fate depends on whether the chamber backs the recommendation of the rules committee, which has decided in face of limiting speeches to 80 minutes, save in the case of the author of a bill or an interpolator. With visible evidence at hand that he is frittering away time, the most confirmed babble may be checked.
Unfortunately, it is by no means certain that the chamber will adopt the committee's drastic report.
SAYS PASTOR TRICKED HER
Bride of Three Days Says She Was Beguiled Into Marriage to Connecticut Minister.
Newark, N. J.—A bride of three days, Julia Mahanna Yonan, twenty-one, caused the arrest of Rev. M. Simon Yonan, fifty-seven, a Nestorian priest, who said his pastorate was in New Britain, Conn., charging that he first tricked her into marriage and then threatened to kill her because she refused to live with him. She visited the Palestine a year ago. She told the police that Yonan visited at her parents' home here, and, with stories of great wealth and a large congregation in New Britain, had induced her to enter his household "to take charge of the servants."
She signed a "contract" at the city clerk's office, she said, but didn't know that it was a marriage license.
KEEP STRICT PASSPORT LAWS
Central European States Are Not Willing to Improve Travel Conditions.
Graz, Austria—Central European states are not ready to sacrifice their passport requirements in the interest of better business and travel conditions. The passport conference of the succession states (of Austria-Hungary) showed only partial success.
Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia were the only governments that agreed to issue two year passports and to give them good for a year. Poland objected to all efforts to simplify the intricacies that are the despair of Americans. Rumania and Jugo-Slavia agreed to the proposed reforms with certain reservations.
Quadruplets Born.
Sharpstown, Del.—Quadruplets were born to Mrs. Rodney Anderson, wife of a farmer near here, the other day. Two of the children are boys and two girls and all are in normal health. Anderson is now the father of four boys and two girls, his wife having given birth to twins two years ago. Mrs. Anderson is one of twins, her mother having had two pairs of twins.
Carlob Return to N. B.
Fredericton, N. B—After an absence of seven years, her return to New Brunswick. The animals disappeared in 1915, because of a security of their fodder and went north to the bleak Gaspé peninsula of Quebec.
TO BUILD CANAL FOR HOLY LAND
Zionist Organization Resurrects Plan Brought Out by Duke of Sutherland.
DIVIDED INTO TWO SECTIONS
Proposed Cut Would Open Trade Route by Way of Sea of Gillee and Jordan Valley—Would Increase Humidity.
Jerusalem. — The Zionist organization has resurrected the old plan of constructing a 250-mile canal through Palestine as a supplement to the Suez canal. This project was first brought out twenty-five years ago by the late duke of Sutherland, but was buried unceremoniously by Sultan Abdul Hamid because of his opposition to progress.
Traffic through the Suez canal has become so congested these days that it is claimed an alternate canal route is required. Zionist leaders have become convinced that the ever-expanding trade relations between continental Europe and the Fur East have reached such dimensions that a canal in Palestine would fill an urgent need and reap untold commercial benefits for Palestine.
Canal in Two Sections.
As planned by F. A. Maler of Holland, its ardent supporter, the canal would be divided into two sections, one of which would extend from Halfa, on the Mediterranean, to Auleh, on the Lake of Tiberias, or Sea of Gillee.
Then there would be an intervening part to be formed from the Lake of Tiberias toward the Dead Sea. This would be filled with Mediterranean sea water. Having crossed the Dead Sea the canal would begin again at Arabah, at the foot of the sea, and extend to Akabah, giving access to the Red sea.
While the building of such a canal would necessitate the submergence of a considerable tract of fertile land as well as a few towns and villages (along the Jordan), its champions claim that the advantages would far outbalance the loss.
Would Increase Humidity.
It is claimed that the proposed Jordan lake would increase the humidity of all Palestine, which now suffers from excessive heat and dryness, thus improving the climate as well as the vegetation. Also, it is asserted, the Jordan valley and the desert lying to the east with the prairies south of Houran, owing to the increased area of water, would become great centers for colonization and development.
With these climatic benefits must be reckoned with. Horticultural possibilities in the scheme might become a second Port Said, a commercial place to ships of all nations. Raw materials from Europe and America, so much needed for the building up of industrial enterprises in Palestine, and which now are being held back due to scarcity of calling ships, would begin to flow more freely.
Thus, it is claimed, there would be opened up to the residents of Palestine the great industrial opportunities.
KING'S CHAIR CN WHISKY BOX
Feisul of Irak Horgeous installation—Denouement Startles the Multitude.
London.—At the installation of King Feisul of Irak nothing was left undone to produce the atmosphere necessary for such an occasion in the country of the Calphs of Bagdad. The throne—or rather the chair of state—is a masterpiece in scarlet rep, tinsel and gilt.
After the ceremony, which it will be remembered, was an open air affair, the ritual required that the throne should be removed. A stalwart Ethiopian raised it above his head and bore it away past the assembled multitude.
Then, and then only, was the nakedness of the land apparent. The frame beneath the seat was simple-deal, and across the boarding was the legend in stencil of a firm that exports Scotch whisky.
"DEAD" EAGLE KILLS SOLDIER
Bird's Claws Clutch Trigger of Gun in Struggle, Fighty Shooting Owner.
Santiago, Chile. A story of a soldier's fatal struggle with a huge eagle in a mountain pass near Los Andes is told by the newspapers here. The soldier shot the eagle and, thinking he had killed it, approached, but the bird had only suffered broken wing and furiously attacked him.
In the struggle which followed the eagle's claws clutched the trigger of the soldier's gun, which was discharged, the bullet entering the man's body. He died in the arms of his companions, who took his body, and also the wounded eagle, to Los Andes.
Bride Wants to Grow Pies.
Legrange, O. — Ultra! Help! A young bride from Cleveland inquired about pie plants while visiting her aunt here. "We like pies. I'd like to see what kind of pies grow. If we take them, we want some of the pie plants in the kitchen, the bride from the nation's "fifth city" told her aunt.

FROGS AND SNAILS ON MENU
London Hotel Explains That Ameri-

for Them.
London.-Frogs and snails have just
been put on the bill of fare at the
Savoy hotel. This news is accompanied
by the explanation that English
in France have acquired a taste for
them and want to be able to get them
here.
Those who have tried snails report
that the snail part is tough, and the
trimmings taste too much of garlic.
Perhaps the Savoy snails will be tender
and the garlic kept in check a little.
At any rate it is related that Sir Hall Caine has gone in for the new items on the bill of fare at the Savoy.
The important commercial fact is that frogs and 200 snails are now
being brought from Paris to London each day. It seems a shame to hurry snails that way, but the daily order is going to be doubled.
"SHIRT-TAIL" CHARLEY
INTERNATIONAL
Here is "Shirt-Tail" Charley, one of the few remaining Seminole Indians now in Florida. Some years ago Charley committed a crime for which his chief condemned him for the rest of his life to wear nothing more than a plain shirt. Many times he has been tempted to don the gorgeously colored garments so typical of the Seminole, but the realization that his life would be the forfeit for the discarding of his "cloak of crime" deterred him.

State Nimrod Not Content With Slaying Animals for Hides in Pennsylvania.
Warren, Pa.—Most of the Warren county hunters who go to the big woods after the bear, are satisfied in his home for the animals that dragging him home for their neighbors to see. But Chauney Logue, the state trapper, who has been working in this locality, has a better solution to the bear-getting problem.
Logue, who has been in the trapping game for many years, places his traps and when the bear is caught places a collar around its neck, and armed with a heavy club, leads Mr. Bear to the nearest shipping point. Short time ago, after capturing an extra bear and bringing it in, he was asked by moving-picture men if he would take it out of the crate so as to enable them to take pictures. He complied and the pictures taken are now on exhibition in Pittsburgh.
HATES SCHOOL KILLS SELF
"I Want to See Mother," Note Left for His Father and Stepmother by Detroit Boy Says.
Detroit, Mich.—Resenting and brooding over his father's peremptory order that he must continue to attend school, Arthur Coleman, fourteen years old, shot and killed himself in his home here. A bitter quarrel is said to have resulted from the father's order. In a note the boy left he bade his father and stepmother fargwell and added: "I want to see mother."
Young Coleman joined in family prayers before retiring at night, and, according to his father, tossed about in bed until 4 o'clock in the morning. Then arose, obtained a rifle, lay back and shot himself through the abdomen.
Coleman was a pupil in Case Tech High school and was noted among his fellow-pupils for his boxing ability.
Bill Askes Redeemed.
Goshen, Ind.—Several days ago Roy Kinny, employed in a Goshen garage, received his week's currency in an envelope. He took it home, left it on a table, where his children found it and threw it into a stove. The ashes were taken to the City National bank here and forwarded to the Treasury department in Washington, where they were subjected to a chemical analysis. As a result Kinny received $40 from the United States government the other day.

RACE ANTEDATES CLIFF DWELLERS
Harvard University Explorers Make Interesting Discovery in Northeastern Arizona.
RELICS ARE WELL PRESERVED
Ancient People Were Intermediate in Development Between Basket Makers and the Pueblo Cliff Dwellers.
Cambridge, Mass. — Explorations made by the Peabody museum of Harvard in the Marsh pass region of northeastern Arizona have resulted in the discovery of the remains of an ancient people who once inhabited that section and were intermediate in development between the basket makers, the earliest race known to have lived in that region, and the Pueblo cliff dwellers, whose remarkable stone villages along the Arizona cliffs have attracted wide-spread interest.
The Harvard expeditions to this semi-desert region, over 100 miles from the nearest railroad, were begun in 1914 by A. V. Kilder and Samuel J. Guernsey of the Peabody museum staff, and were later continued under the sole direction of Mr. Guernsey. Prior to 1914, commercial collectors had found traces of the basket makers, but facts about these earliest people of the region had never been secured by trained archaeologists until the Harvard expeditions began.
These expeditions have not only contributed a mass of information concerning the basket makers but now show the existence of a people who followed the basket makers in point of time, but preceded the cliff dwellers. The post-basket makers, as these newly discovered people are called, resemble the basket makers in many particulars, but were clearly in a later stage of development. The basket makers had no permanent dwellings, whereas these later people had stone houses in caves and in the open. They also had pottery, crude in some respects, but with the beginnings of decoration, and some of it was fired. This is the earliest pottery known to have been made in the southwest. Instead of building their dwellings, as did the basket makers, they seem to have lived in the caves and to have conducted their burials in the open. Their more settled life is attributed to their success in agriculture. They grew corn of a primitive variety.
Skulls Long Instead of Round
Skeletons show that both the basket makers and these successors had rather long skulls, whereas the cliff dwellers who followed them were a round-headed race and always had the back of the skull artificially flattened by the hard board headrest of the crables in which the babies were placed. The relationship of these various peoples is still a matter of doubt. It is believed the post-basket makers probably were descendants of the basket makers, but whether they in turn were descendants of the cliff dwellers is not certain. It seems that a count of the marked difference in the shape of the head, even aside from artificial flattening.
The basket makers had dogs. The mummified remains of two were found during the Harvard explorations and are now on exhibition at the Peabody museum along with a quantity of other objects illustrative of basket maker life.
Many of the objects found in the dry caves in this region are in an extraordinary state of preservation, on account of the dryness of the climate, despite their great age. These preserved years ago these primitive people lived in northeastern Arizona is unknown, or how they were related to the Indians of the present day. The scientific study of the region is still in its early stages.
Italians Scoop Up Earth
From Roosevelt's Grave
Oyster Bay, L, L—Four Italianans got off the 2020 train at Oyster Bay one afternoon, inquired the way to Young's cemetery and plodded the mile and a half up the hill to the grave of Colonel Roosevelt. They crossed themselves, knelt in praver a moment, crossed them, a again and placed flowers on the grave. Then they astounded the attendant by scraping away the snow from a snow cover the rolling and gouging out frozen earth with thief-fingers, stuffing it into their overcoat pockets.
"What's the idea?" demanded the attendant, strolling over to them.
"This week," the spokesman of the quartette explained, "we go back to Italy. We loved Colonel Roosevelt. Colonel Roosevelt loved Italy. All Italianes love him. We take back with us this earth from his grave and all our families will be glad to get a little of it."
The attendant said no more. It was learned that the four pilgrims came from Chicago, where they had lived for 20 years.

country ina year. ‘The situation was
becoming serious. Hostilities broke
up the traffic, but after the armistice
a perfect flood of emigrants was
headed this way. Restriction was a
positive necessity. The 3 per cent
Proposition was adopted as a tem-
Porary measure. The basis for cal-
culation was the number of nationals
of a given country resident in the
United States according to the 1910
census. ‘The idea was to receive an
additional 3 per cent of the respective
totals annually
‘This arrangement met many diffi
culties at the start, Ellis Island was
crowded with aliens who had over-
run the quota These troubles have
been largely overcome. During the
eight months of operation under the
aw immigrants have numbered 192,-
000. ‘The limit for twelve months is
355,000, and it is not likely to be
reached. So much the better. ‘The
United States needs a long rest from
its efforts to assimilate neweomers,
and no matter what form permanent
legislation may take, we agree with
Chairman Johnson, of the immigra-
tion committee, that there will be no
desire to return to the virtually un-
limited’ entrance of foreign labor.

to look out for itself and its doors
must be closed to strange men with

say we all.
‘THE DRED SCOTT DECISION.
it was fifty yoars ago—March 6,
1857,—that the Supreme Court of the
United States rendered iis decision in
the famous Dred Scott case. ‘The re-
sults which followed, this decision were
stupendous and farfeaching.
Dred Scott was a slave belonging to
surgeon in the United States army.
He was taken by his master to Fort
Snelling, in the Stato of Illinots, terrl-
tory trom which, by the ordinance of
378%, slavery had been forever ex
cluded. Afterward he was carried into
Missourl, where he was hired as a
slave. Claiming freedom on the ground
that his resldenee in Ilinois had wiped
out his status as a slave, his caso was
taken before the Supreme Court for
sottloment.
‘After a three years’ consideration of
the case the decision of the court was
pronounced in an exhaustive opinton
delivered by Chiet Justice Taney, seven
of the nino judges concurring.
Tn substance, the decision was as
follows: (1) ‘That persons of the
African race were not, and could not
be, acknowledged as “part of tho peo
ple,” or eltizens, under’ the .Constitu
tion of tho United States. (2) That
Congress had no right to exclude oft!
zens of the South from taking thelr
Negro servants, as any other property
into any part of the community, and
that they were entitled to clalm tt
protection therein. (3) That the Mle
sourl Compromise of 1820, in eo far a
{It prohibited African slavery north 0
‘8 designated line, was unconstitutiona
and vold.
‘The decision raised a storm tron
fone end of the country to the othe
‘and made the olvil war a foregon
‘onnision:

CRINGING AWAKENS CONTEMPT.
We cannot win by blinking at facts
or by ignoring fundamental princi-
ples. Editor J. Q. Adams of the ST.
PAUL APPEAL is sound to the core
Jand we shall all have to accept his
kind of leadership if we expect to at-
tain our full stature and status under
the American Constitution. Cringing
may be comfortable for the time be-
ing put it is mighty humiliating for
all the time thereafter and it awakens
contempt for us as it should do ir
the minds and hearts of our adver
saries.
Editor Adams points the way
whether we accept his advice or no
and sooner or later he wil blaze th
way to our financial, industrial anc
political enfranchisement in thi
country where none will dare moles
us or make us afraid. Wise colores
leaders will take notice and gover
themselves accordingly.

RAPS AMERICAN CHRISTIANS (7)
In a recent interview @ Japanese
gentleman walloped the American
Christian hypoefites in these words
and hits the nail on the head:
“I am a Christian, but I cannot
reconcile the rules which Christianity
taught me with American practices.
Americans are overly suspicious and
narrow hearted, Our nation is. sup-
posedly anti-Christian, but we have
broader hearts,
“American missionaries teach us
that ail people are equal, so we wel-
come Americans, let you travel
throughout Japan unmolested, buy
property, “engage in business, and
give you equal rights with our own
{people when you are in Japan. You
do not practice in America what your
| missionaries teach us we must do, if
we want to be Christians, Even the
missionaries do. not practice what
they preach when they return to
Armerica.”

EQUAL.OPPORTUNITIES:
President Harding and Secretary
Hughes “have been moved” by com-
plaints from Americans in the near
east and have, demanded equal op-
portunities for Americans in Persia
and Mesopotamia. It seems that
those who kick get at least some of
the things they complain about. And
the President would sit-up and take
notice if the -tolored people kicked
hard enough and in unison,
While the administration is quick
to come to the aid of “Americans
abroad,” it does not hesitate to curse
‘Americans at home.” Colored
Americans have been jimerowed in
every way right here in. America.
The President's speeches in Alabama
and Georgia were curses upon pa-
‘roitie Americans and double curses
because some lickspittle “leaders”
jattempted to condone them.
WOMEN AS PREACHERS.
The women are demanding their
right to become preachers of the gos-
pel on equal terms with the men. At
2 recent meeting of women pastors a
speaker déclared that the majority of
the church members at present are
jwomen drawn by the eloquence and
magnetism of the male preachers and
if women were installed as pastors
jwould fall over each other in the ef-
forts to get into the fold.
The Reverend Clarence Edward
Macartney of Philadelphia, dissents
from this view and says that the or-
dination of women as ministers of the
gospel would be prejudicial to. the
best interests, of the church and
“would inerede the occasions for
factional scandal and: satanic church
quarreling.”
No doubt the men would be at-
tracted to the church services if the
shepherdess was young and charm-
ing, had a trim figure, wore a peek-
aboo waist, with a skirt falling te
her knees, the portion of her anatomy
from that point to the French-heeled
foxfords encased in “invisible” silk
stockings, It would not matter what
she said, the attendance of the men
including all of the bald-headed “fa-
thers in Isracl” would swamp the
meeting house—and they would al
be in the front pews—if possible.

things would thke too much space, so

Increase Advertising Is Babson's Advice
Roger W. Babson, statistician and business authority, is advising American business men and manufacturers to renew and even increase their advertising. He says: "It takes no little courage to go counter to the popular current and spend money for advertising when immediate returns are expected. I am convinced that the man who has the foresight and courage will gain advantage—a running start—that will carry him through the coming periods of improvement and prosperity. Take the aggregate course."

NEW BOOKS RECEIVED IN THE
ST. PAUL LIBRARY
"The Negro in Literature and Art in the United States." By Benjamin Brawley. Revised edition. New York, Duffield & Co., 1921; 197 p.
This new edition of the "Negro" in literature and art in the United States" is a very thorough treatment of the subject. Beside the chapers on Phillis Wheatley, Dunbar, Chesnut, De Bois, Braithwaite, Douglass, Washington, Tanner and others, it contains an account of the general progress from 1918 to 1921, and a very interesting chapter on the actor, Charles S. Gilpin. By his admirable acting in the part of the old Negro in drinkwater's "Abraham Lincoln, he made himself well known, and later practically created the character of the "Emperor Jones" in Eugene O'Neill's drama.
"A Social History of the American Negro, Being a History of the Negro Problem in the United States, Including a History and Study, of the Republic of Liberia." By Benjamin Brawley New York, Macmillan Co. 1921 420 p.
This book presents a study of the actual life of the Negro in itself and in connection with that of the nation. Beginning with the coming of the Negro to America and the colonial era, during which the Negro passed from a position of servitude to real slavery, the various phases of his social condition up to the Civil War are described.
STERLING CLUB NOTES.
The Sterling Club held a largely attended meeting Wednesday night at Union Hall. They furnished a fine supper. The object of the meeting was to get something tangible to work upon looking toward the club home. A number of men spoke pro and con and the result was the passage of a resolution to the effect that the members will each purchase bills of dollars, the money will be kept intact for the purchasing of the home. There was also a resolution passed that this money be held for one year from April 1st. Several enthusiasts purchased bonds or paid a certain sum upon their purchase. The building committee was authorized to investigate available property and report at the next meeting.
On last Saturday evening the Progressive Association opened its doors to the public; they have the old site of Mr. R. N. Travis, 40 E. Third St., but they have transformed it.
