Discover Way to Make Alcohol and Good Quality of Animal Food From Sawdust.
Exports Save Smelting Industry by
Finding Way to Eliminate Bulk
of Poisonous Dust From
Flue Gases.
Do you know of anything that is being wasted that these scientists might try their hands on?
Washington, D. G.-Savants have shown that if the atmosphere were not impregnated with dust there would be no cloud effects, no radiant sunsets, no soft afterglow of harmonious colorings which lend a halo to the quiet of eventide. Also, there could be no condensation of moisture as in rain, mist or fog without nuclei such as dust particles.
That is one of the stories of the usefulness of dust, but government scientists and others are more interested just now in determining what can be done with dusts of specific kinds that have long constituted big items of waste in various industries.
Perhaps the most interesting development of the experimental work that has been going on is in connection with the problem of what to do with sawdust. Ever since sawdust saw bit its way through a piece of timber the enormous waste in sawdust has been a matter to worry over. In this it was found that this debris could be made commercially valuable as the basis of various manufactures.
Oxalic acid is produced on a large scale from sawdust, and sawdust also is used in the carbonating stage of the process for the manufacture of soda ash.
Alcohol From Bawdust.
But now it has been discovered that sawdust can be converted into a food and by carrying the process a step further alcohol may be produced.
The sawdust food is one for beast and not for man, but nevertheless it is useful and may become a factor in farm economics. Sawdust alcohol will not be used for beverage purposes, but there is a great need for a new motor fuel to take the place of gasoline or to supplement the supply of that article which is not keeping pace with the demand, and alcohol seems to hold out the greatest possibilities in that direction.
White pine sawdust is used in this process. It is treated with dilute sulphuric acid and cooked under pressure with steam. This brings about a chemical change in which the sawdust is partially converted into glucose, a simple sugar which is both digestible and of food value. There is from 14 to 18 per cent of glucose in this mixture, which is then neutralized with lime, the sugar dissolved and the solution filtered off and boiled down under reduced pressure until it is of the consistency of molasses. This molasses is then mixed with the partially dried sawdust residue and the result is a product closely resembling bran.
Farmer Had Right Idea.
Thus it would appear that the tight-fisted farmer who tried feeding his mules excelsior and sawdust as substitutes for grass and bran mash had the right idea. His trouble was that he did not prepare the stuff properly. In producing alcohol from the bran mixture the essential step is to let the sugar in it ferment. It is estimated that three to four hundred million gallons of alcohol could in this way be derived from sawdust, shavings and bits of lumber that are wasted each year in the mills of the country. The debris of the lumber industry is by no means the only dust that is being conserved and put to useful purposes. Coal dust is another notable example, and in view of the present shortage in the coal supply as a result of the strike its utilization is especially important. For years the culm or dust produced in sizing anthracite for the market, was regarded as practically worthless, although it was for the most part perfectly good coal. It could not be handled or shipped economically, however, and the consumer did not know how to use it, so it was permitted to go as waste. Smaller and smaller sizes of anthracite were found useful until now the dust itself is being burned, ether through a powdered-coal burner which sprays the pulverized fuel into the furnace or firebox, or in the form of bristettes.
A corporation recently formed has an establishment at Alexandria, Virginia, where a new process of preparing a fuel that is an amalgam of coal dust and crude oil is being exploited. It is claimed that a wholly satisfactory substitute for anthracite for domestic purposes is being produced, and it is also said that it can be marketed at a price that is altogether interesting in these days when the so-called law of supply and demand is sending the cost of anthracite skyward.
Other Materials Used
Brine-glass
Other materials in the campaign against waste.
Metal filings and turnings are subjected to pressure and then converted
into compact masses that can be charged into furnaces and remelted with the least possible loss. Powdered ores and minerals that would either blow away or clog the smelters, may be handled in similar fashion and made almost as satisfactory as lump ore. Immediate quantities of disintegrated iron ore that were formerly considered of little or no economic importance are thus made available. In at least one instance the utilisation of dust has been brought about, not as a mere measure of economy, but in order to save the industry itself. In smelting valuable metallic ores, notably copper and lead, considerable quantities of arsenic contained in the ores are driven off with the furnaces gases in the form of a fume or very fine dust. This fume or dust settles over the farms for great distances surrounding the smelters and causes great injury to all kinds of vegetation, with the result that the smelting companies were being mulcted for heavy damages constantly, and there was a prospect that they might be required to shut down their plants.
Experts were called in and eventually a way was found to eliminate the bulk of the poisonous dust from the flue gases. The white arsenic thus collected aggregates thousands of tons annually and it is devoted to many useful purposes. It is converted into plumbens, compounds of value in medicinal and food products, insecticides for spraying orchards, vineyards and gardens.
Careful With Gold Dust.
There is one kind of dust that everybody has always been more than anxious to utilise and that is gold dust. If any of that goes to waste it is because it cannot be avoided. In all the varied mining processes and wherever gold is handled in the mints or in the arts every precaution is taken to conserve every particle of the precious metal. In fact, dust is gathered and saved that is so fine that it is little more than "color." In placer mining all the gold is "dust," but it occurs in scales, grains or nuggets, and all the particles are smooth and rounded, thus differing from gold which is sharp and angular. The nuggets have weighed in size from small grains to one found in Australia that weighed 2,520 ounces and was worth about $42,000. Appropriately enough this nugget was christened "Welcome Stranger." The largest nugget found in California weighed 280 ounces. Russia has produced one of 98 ounces and the Klondike one of 88 ounces. By far the greatest proportion of the gold recovered, however, is in medium and fine dust. Where gold is handled in large quantities all sweepings and all dust collected by vacuum cleaners is saved, for it contains minute particles of gold that in the aggregate and in the long run amount to large sums. Even the clothes worn by those who handle the gold are "mined" at stated intervals.
LATEST IN FIRE LOOKOUTS
Photo shows the latest type of fire lookout observatory with a glassed-in "grow's nest." This observatory is on Castle Peak Lookout, Colorado, and brings within vision thousands of square miles of forest. When the observer observes smoke he sights an instrument similar to a surveyor's transit upon it. From a dial beneath the sighting telescope he reads the degree of his sight, telephones it to another station where a second sight is made. Then two threads are stretched across a map on the degree readings taken and where the threads cross is located the fire. Rangers are then enabled to go directly to the scene.
Michigan Husband Walks Across Street and Attempts to Kill Self With Shotgun.
Lensing, Mich.—Refused a kiss by his wife when he returned home from work. Claude Fritz, thirty-one years old, walked across the street and shot himself with a shotgun. He is in a serious condition at a hospital.
Mrs. Fritz told police that her husband returned home from work and asked her for a kiss. She replied that she was too busy, she said, and "blow" him a kiss as he left the door. She said her husband had been despondent for several days.
"Heil's Half-Acre" is Located.

USE AIRPLANE TO SEEK OLD CITIES
Professor MacLean of Rochester University Finds Outline of Ancient Irrigation Canal.
British Pilot Finds Location of Two Lost Cities of Opia and Sitace—May Push Back History Another Age
New Haven, Conn.—Lost cities of ancient civilizations, buried for thousands of years beneath the shifting sands of Egypt, Mesopotamia and Arabia, will soon be located through the use of airplanes, according to Prof. R. A. MacLean of Rochester university, late staff officer with the British troops in Persia, who discussed this problem before the Archeological Institute of America.
The archeologist, circling about some 2,000 feet in the air, with a clear sweep of vision for 20 miles in all directions, can make out certain continuous lines of depression, indicating ancient irrigation channels, with mounds strewn along these lines indicating buried cities.
Ordinary surveys could never reveal this because of the great distances covered by them. Under the very ground on which countless caravans have passed for more than 5,000 years and where even scientific expeditions may have pitched their camps for the night, lie cities whose contents may push back history another age, whose wealth in gold, silver and precious stones may far surpass anything unearthed even in Egypt.
May Find Lost Cities.
An important discovery has already been made by a British pilot, involving possibly the definite location of the lost cities of Opis and Sitace—the famous centers of ancient culture and wealth described by Xenophon 2,500 years ago, but never heard of since. The pilot operating last summer in Mesopotamia noticed while on his numerous air reconnaissance what appeared to be a long natural delignement covering many miles.
This depression branched off from the Tigris river at Bagdad, ran south a bit, and then curved gradually back to the river, finally running into it at Samarra. Along this depression were many mounds—appearing from above as mere discolourations. Major cities there, and an enthusiastic archeologist himself, when told of this passed the news on to Professor MacLean, and a series of flights were at once arranged.
On these air surveys, Professor MacLean was astonished to find unmistakable signs of an old channel, which parted from the present Tigris river channel at Samarra and ran a southly course for a full 100 miles before rejoining the present channel at Bagdad. The importance of this discovery was at once apparent to Professor MacLean, for it was a graphic indication that the ancient Tigris had run through a different channel some fifteen miles south of the present one city, and so carefully marked out by scientists, who based their calculations on the present channel of the Tigris, were actually 15 miles south of where they were supposed to be.
Ancient Chain of Cities.
In support of his discovery, Professor MacLean points to the many mounds strewn along the line of this old channel, indicating the ancient chain of cities once flourishing on the banks of the Tigris. Some of the most important cities of ancient times, including Opis, Sitace and Eskil, Bagad, with many still more primitive towns, have thus passed unnoticed while scientists were busy exploring the banks of the present Tigris.
Another surprising discovery was that of the ancient irrigation system, noted in the ancient chronicles, but not in the present. Professor MacLean and Major Besselow have been able to chart out entire systems of irrigation streams and ditches by simply sketching the lines of depression and discoloration. The results show a very unusual system of irrigation, closely resembling the skeleton of a bony fish, with the main ditch as the spinal column, and the local ditches as ribs and small bones.
Man Is Shot in Squabble Over Duck That Cat Stole
San Francisco—Charles Palmer, after shooting a duck near Belmont, a suburb, was invited into the cabbage home of Harry Shaw, a watchman, to get warm. When Palmer started to leave he missed the duck, and in the argument that followed, according to subsequent testimony, he was shot in the face. An undersherif took them into custody despite their protections that their difference was purely a personal matter, and Palmer被 guilty to assault. Shaw insisted on paying Palmer's $10 fine and they went back to Shaw's cabin, where they formed a guilty feature and a guilty looking out
Toothless Tom of 24,
Oldest U. S. Cat, Dead
Billings, Mont—Thomas Patriarch, the oldest cat in the United States, died here, aged twenty-four years and three months, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Grover Sample.
Thomas was born in Northfield, Minn., in 1889, and for a long time was mascot on Northern Pacific trains between Manitoba and Montreal, in loss of his teeth he ceased to bother mice and lived on condensed milk during his final year.
Thomas claim to oldest cat was threwed out a year ago with a twenty-year-old kitten at Missola. The story appeared in papers all over the country and no cat arose to dispute the Billings Tom's honors.
TAKES FRENCHMAN FOR HERO
German Playwright Pays Extraordinary and Unexpected Tribute to Spirit of French People.
Paris—An extraordinary and quite unexpected tribute to the spirit of the French people has been paid by one of the foremost German writers and is apparently accepted by many of the German people as deserved. This appears in the drama "Prisoners of War," written by Leon Feenwanger, one of the best known and most popular dramatic writers of Germany.
The play was written in 1916, in the very midst of the war, and it has for its hero a French soldier, Gaston Conte, a prisoner of war in Germany, who is made to appear in a most attractive light. By his spiritual charm, his unconstrained courage, his brilliant appearance, by his ardent eloquence in the service of these qualities, he wins the love of a certain Moeblihler, a notable is that to this heroic and attractive Frenchman the author opposes two other men, who are infinitely less so, and these are Germans. The one is the young girl's father, a Prussian junker, stern, heart hard and minded, to whom prisoners are only machines, to whom prisoners are only machines to their full capacity, the other is Lieutenant Althaus, a slave, who kills the Frenchman with a well-aimed revolver shot because the latter smiled.
The play, of course, was forbidden by the censor. This was at the time when the boche was hammering at Verdun. The theaters of Leipzig, of Munich, of the court of Darmstadt, which had made contracts for the production of the play, had to annul them. But the play was published. It even obtained a considerable reading success. Its charm was praised. critics praised it. And today despite pressure carried on by the Francophone clan, at the head of which is Professor Koch of the chair of history and literature at the Breslau university, the theater lovers want to see it played.
JAM PRIZED MORE THAN GOLD
Rapa Natives Work for Sweets but Ignore Money and Precious Metal.
Honolulu, T. H.-Rapa, the island where men are outnumbered considerably by woman residents, also is the island where jam and candy are far more precious than much fine gold, according to J. F. G. Stokes, scientist attached to the Bishop museum, who conducted an extensive tour of investigation of the Austral islands in connection with the museum's efforts to establish the origin of the Polynesian race.
Mr. Stokes said that offers of money had no effect upon natives of Rapa when they were requested to obtain specimens, relics and other fragments of a lost civilization, but these were forthcoming instantly when candy was offered in exchange. As a result, the supply of candy soon was exhausted. Then Mrs. Stokes came to the rescue. The natives would furnish no more specimens unless they were supplied with sweets. Mrs. Stokes hit upon making jam out of the oranges which grew in abundance on Rapa. Mr. Stokes said that the jam was considered more valuable than the candy.
LAUGH IS CAUSE OF MURDER
Boy Beats of Killing Girl Who Mocked Him When He Missed Good Shot While Hunting Squirrels.
Iron Mountain, Mich.—Charged with killing a twelve-year-old girl who mocked him when he missed a good shot while hunting squirrels, John Shults, seventeen years old, is under arrest here. The boy was arrested when he boasted of the killing to a boy friend, police declare.
Shults and twelve-year-old Gusti Jagste were hunting near their homes when the boy missed a shot at a chipmunk, he told friends. The girl laughed at her companion, and he shot her, causing her death almost instantly, the police charge.
Polly Cries "Fire," Saves Home.
Philadelphia—a Pet parrot saved a three-story apartment house here from destruction when the dog has an apartment on the toy floor had retired, but in a few moments he was awakened by the shrill screams of his parrot, which he knelt in the kitchen.
PREDICTS LONG LIFE FOR SUN
PREDICTS LONG LIFE FOR SUN
Swedish Scientist Advances Theory of Light Arising Through Radioactivity.
Dead Celestial Bodies May Flame Up Again If They Wander Into Regions Where Production of Heat Takes Place.
Stockholm—"The sun can keep on shining at the present rate for another 88,000,000 years, and if human culture is to perish it will not be for lack of sunshine." This startling and whimsical statement was made in the course of a recent lecture by Dr. Svante Arrhenius, the Swedish authority on astrophysics, in which he explained certain theories and discoveries regarding solar conditions.
"Suppose the sun were a mass of coal," said Doctor Arrhenius, in order to illustrate his problem. "Giving forth heat energy at the present rate, it would then have lasted only 4,000 years, or about half as long as the period of known human history. But and the very interesting thing of some kind on earth at least 1,000,000,000 years ago, and since there has evidently been very little deterioration of the sun during that period of time, any theory of the expenditure of solar energy must provide for upward of 100,000,000,000 years."
His Theory of Light
Though it is difficult to interpret Doctor Arrenhus in popular language, it may be of interest to state his general theory. Heavenly bodies begin as cold nebulous masses of hydrogen, helium and the so-called nebulum. Light then arises through radioactivity. The hydrogen is condensed to form the other two elements, helium and nebulum, and from these develop a whole series of heavier elements, the most abundant of which is iron.
After this stage has been passed, the radioactive elements again resolve themselves into unstable elements and produce helium. This chemical process, going on in cycles, accounts for the livish production of light and heat by the sun.
What becomes of dead suns and stars? Doctor Arrenhus replied to this question that celestial bodies which have burned out may fame up again in case they happen to wander into nebulous regions where condensation and production of heat again takes place. Thus he explained the discoveries of new stars.
Doctor Arrenhus paid a tribute to the successful work of American astronomers, remarking wistfully that, in addition to bright skies, they are also favored by ample funds for research and experiment.
RADIO SENDS BURIAL SERVICE
Treatment Prescribed by Wireless Falls to Save Life of Skipper Stricken With Pneumonia.
New York—Capt. A. Matthews of the steamship Hatteras, bound for Belfast and Cardiff, was dead. Four days of constant exposure on the bridge in the gales of the Atlantic had caused him to succumb to pneumonia.
There was no physician aboard. Treatment prescribed by radio from the Red Star line Finland had been administered.
Latex word by radio to James Feryle, wireless operator of the President Adams from Chief Officer George Bandell of the Hatteras:
"Captain Matthews died this morning. No Bible aboard; no copy of burial service. Please wireless us burial service and prayer for the dead."
Purser W. G. Hughes of the President Adams hurriedly brought a copy of the Episcopal prayer book to Operator Herrick.
Chief Officer Bandell wirelessed back at 12:30 that the prayers had been received.
"Body buried at noon with usual rites," he added.
FOR A SUMMER WHITE HOUSE
Baltimore Lawyer Leaves $200,000 to the United States for President's Home.
Baltimore, Md. — A provision to erect a summer White House for the use of the President and a provision to establish a public park in Baltimore were made in the will of J. Wilson Leakin, lawyer. The will was probated here in the orphans' court.
For purchasing land and erecting the summer White House, $200,000 is left to the United States. The site is to be within motoring distance of Washington. If the legacy is not accepted by congress within 18 months after Mr. Leakin's death, the $200,000 is to become part of the residue of the estate.
Bootblack is Rich, Says Wife.
New York—Alleging that her husband, Nicholas Lepreta, a bootblack, has a net income of $75 a week, owns a handsome house and has a bank account besides, Mrs. Katherine Leprete applied to Justice Callaghan for $35 a week alimony and $20 coupon fees. The trial of her suit for sequestration is pending. Mrs. Leprete charged cruelty.

SAVED FROM JUNK PILE
Famous Old Square Rigger, Gloria, Gets Stay of Execution.
Once Queen of the American Merchant Marine and Holder of Scores of Sailing Records in Every Ocean.
Seattle, Wash—Memories of the golden days of the clipper ship era stirring the hearts of Boston men have about a day of execution for the famous old square-rigger Gloria of the seas, once queen of the American merchant marine and holder of scores of sailing records in every ocean.
Condemned to the funeral grounds for the copper and iron in her hull, the Glory, as she is affectionately known by many a sailor throughout the ports of the seven seas, was be towed down from Puget sound to be beached when a telegram was received from Boston asking a reprieve. The Boston men plan to tow the old ship to Boston to rig her as she was in her heyday and moor her in Boston harbor as a monument to the American sailing ship, now fast vanishing before the encroachment of the faster but less romantic steamers and motor cargo carriers.
The Glory, built in East Boston in 1868, was the last masterpiece of Donald McKay, premier American builder of the clipper ship age. In the early part of her career she made remarkable passages between New York and San Francisco and between East coast ports and Europe. Later, with the rapid development of ship construction, she fell upon evil days and became a coal and cargo barge. A few years ago the gallant old square riger was constructed as a floating refrigeration plant and warehouse, and early last year was sold as junk. Shipping men who inspected the old vessel sald her hull today was as sound as when she sld down the ways 35 years ago.
THE SLEEVE DOG
The first sleeve dog show was held at Princes hotel, London, for dogs under six pounds, with "Tiny Klval," shown here, winning the championship cup. "Tiny Klval" was easily the best at the show, likewise being the smallest, and found little trouble being comfortable in the cup awarded.
JAPANESE NUPTIALS COSTLY
Even in Poorest Families Bride, besides Her Trouseau, Must Provide Household Utilities.
Osaka.—Even in the poorest families in Japan, weddings are a heavy item, as the bride, besides her own trousseau, is expected to supply certain household utilities, such as laundry and medical apparatus.
The League of Women's Societies says that 400 yen ($200) will cover the marriage costs, and suggests that parents put aside 1 yen monthly from the birth of a girl baby, which, by the time she reaches twenty, the marriageable age, with interest, amount to 441 yen.
The league estimates her trousseau, including 15 wedding kimono and obis (girldes), housekeeper books, laundry apparatus and medical apparatus, at 370 yen. With 30 yen, plus an equal amount from her fance, the wedding ceremony may be held.
Penguin Drops Pebble at Feet of "Lady Love"
London—The social habits of penguins were described by Surgeon Commander Murray Levick, just returned from the Antarctic, who lectured here.
He says that when the birds are mating, the males walk about in groups from nest to nest. When a male makes a selection he places a pebble at the feet of the hen.
Then the other males fight him, and if his resistance is unity, he leaps close and the other males go about their courting.

Aviatrix Urges That Annual Tribute Be Paid Flyers Who Have Given Lives.
ALSO TO HONOR MOTHERS
Plan Has Official Approval of the Chiefs of Army and Navy Air Service—Lillian Gatlin Is Back of the Movement.
Don't you think that the men who gave their lives in the development of flying should be remembered?
Washington.—A young woman in aviation clothes stopped beside a flyer's grave in Arlington the other day and placed there a pink rose, a spray of white chrysanthemum and a bit of Jerusalem ivy. Twenty-four army and navy officers stood at attention close by. From overhead came the throb of five planes flying in formation, while in the background some 500 onlookers watched the little ceremony.
From this grave the young aviatrix and her little company went to the other 49 flyers' graves in the national cemetery, and last, to the grave of the unknown soldier, leaving each time the three floral tributes.
The young woman who paid this honor to the aviators who have given their lives for the country was Lillian Gatlin. She is the girl who recently came East by the air mail route from San Francisco to New York, thereby becoming the first woman to fly across the country.
Began Flying in 1911.
Miss Gatlin has been flying since 1911, and she considers herself one of the pioneers. Many of the aviators who were her friends have crashed to earth, leaving mothers, who had been so proud of them, suddenly broken. Because she gets the point of view both of the aviators who flew until they crashed in spite of everything and of the mothers they left, Miss Gatlin is giving herself to the cause of proving that the fliers are not forgotten.
She has asked President Harding to permit her to designate the second Sunday in September as a national aerial day, when tribute may be paid to the gold star mothers of aviation and their sons. Her plan has the official approval of Major General Patrick, chief of the army air service, and of Rear Admiral Moffett, chief of the naval air service.
To stop in the midst of our busy whirl to place a flower on a grave once each year and to think about men who have done their work and gone on, may seem a sentimental thing. The strictly practical minded would agree with Vachel Lindsay that "To live in mankind is far more than to live in a name."
But most people cannot take so Spartan a view. The fact remains that almost every individual craves to be remembered either for his personality or for his achievements. Miss Gatlin points out that the man who provides in his will for a tombstone generally does so because he is afraid no one else will erect a stone for him and that his name will be forgotten. The carved name on a stone is his one hope of keeping his name alive.
Flvara Not to Be Forgotten.
Miss Gatlin is determined that the fyers who risked their lives that aviation might progress are not going to be forgotten. Their mothers are to have the comfort of being assured that their boys have not given their lives for nothing.
Miss Gatlin tells about it eagerly. She is a blonde young woman with a boyish, straightforward manner of speech and gesture, which contrasts with her close sympathy for the maternal point of view and her feminine use of symbolism.
Everything about her method of paying tribute to the fyers has some significant association. She placed the Jerusalem ivy on the graves at Arlington because it is said that it never dies. Each part of the fyer's costume she wore on her trip East once before she was born, the mother who "on" as Miss Gatlin puts it. The pair of white baby shoes she carries for a charm are associated with a fyer who crushed just before his baby was born. These little shoes interested President Harding when he talked with Miss Gatlin about the proposed national tribute. The pink roses are reminiscent of Lincoln Beachey.
GOUT NOW ALMOST EXTINCT
London Physician Declares That Change to Temperate Habits Is Responsible.
London—Gout, the age-old disease with which so many members of the aristocracy used to be afflicted, is now nearly extinct, according to Sir William Wilcox, prominent physician, who declared in a recent lecture that he had not seen a case of primary gout—that is, gout attacking a person for the first time—for several years.
He attributed its disappearance to more temperate drinking habits and the modern tendency to get away from the fancier foods and return to the simpler and more wholesome dishes.

REAPING THE MARVEST
in ber article op Mississipp? wach
appeared in a recent number of the
Nation, Buelah Amidon Radcliffe con-
cludes that the most pitiable thing
about the fragile civilization in that
state is that the citizens of the com-
monwealth do not realize that. their
treatment of the colored man is un-
dermining their own well-being.
In this respect the citizens of Miss-
issippi are not unique. One of the
astounding facts that has come out
of the complex race relations exist-
ing in this country is that the white
man, in general, has failed to see that
the program of lynch law and mob
violence directed at colored man will
redound to the detriment of the whole
population.
But he is waking up—and the
lynching and mobbing of white men
is waking him up.
The story of the tarring and
feathering of a young white doctor
in Texas made a full page ‘feature’
for the Sunday supplements; the tar-
ring of a white woman by a masked
mob started typewriters in editorial
room to clicking; the stripping to two
white women by a California mob
made front page stories and brought
forth editorial roars of indignation.
Now has come Mer Rouge with its
torture and murder of white men;
last week in Oklahoma, four white
men beat up another and assaulted
his wife an;d the other day in Goose
Creek, Texas, a masked mob whipped
a white man and woman.
Worse than the actual commission
of mob crime has been the spread of
mob spirit. Mobs form on the slight-
est pretext. Down in Madison, Wis.,
a student was nearly lynched because
he believed that Kate Richards
O'Hara should be allowed to speak
in that city; in.the recent railroad
strike the Texas and Pacific R. R.
was the first road to ask protection
from the mob; the whole country is
still“stinzed by the mob murders at
Herrin; in Chicago # workman's wife
had to hold a mob at bay with a
pistol; right here in St. Paul a mob
gathered around the Ducas street
police station determined to do
violence to Frank Weltz, a reckless
driver-murderer.
And so it goes. The insidious
propaganda of mob violence planted
by the weak civilizations of Mississ-
ippi and her kind are bearing hideous
fruit,
Lynch lawand mob rule must go.
Respect for the regular channels of
the law must be built anew. In his
fight to end mob violence the colored
man is helping the white man to
save dinelt: —* ‘
THE BOY SCOUTS
THE APPEAL is very much in-
terested in the recent formation of
a Boy Scout troop among the boys
of the race in the city. The troop,
according to the Sunday Pioneer
Press has been formed at St. James
A.M. E. church and is “tinder the
Ieadership of Herbert Foster. As a
result of the fact that the editor was
himself once attached to a church
troop of scouts in this city, and, too,
as result of a conference with the
leaders of the troop, THE APPEAL
has decided to award suits to the
boys in return for their aid in the
big February subscription campaign.
THE APPEAL will do this instead of
offering prites in a voting contest as
is commonly done because the paper
believes ‘that anything that makes
for-the advancement of the boys
makes for the advancement of the
conimunity.

Here is illustrated the best way of

And now Harvard. Ever since we
left the eighth grade we have cher-
ished the hope of spending under-
graduate years in Harvard because
“es * ¢ they won't have you at
Princeton, son, and you might have
some difficulty at Yale, but at Old
Harvard you'll be a man first, and a
colored man second, if at all.” But
Harvard has bewed to the wishes of
he Southerner. Harvard has said
officially that the sign of color is the
ign for proscription. It feels that
he best way to ameliorate prejudice
is to cater to it—to keep the races
apart! This is the philosophy of the
jimerow car, the separate school, the
egregated district, and other forms
of discrimination. If Harvard is
right—if prejudice is to be eliminat-
2d by complete separation, if all op-
portunity for understanding and syfn-
pathy is to-be forfeited—then the
philosophy of these things is right
Harvard, however, is wrong. Presi-
dent Lowell uses not faulty logic, but
no logic at all. By his pronounce.
ment Harvard has loaned herself to
the spreading of the most damnable
and senseless thing on the face of the
earth: race prejudice.
Bold, fearless Perry Howard wants
to debate Messrs. DuBois and John-
son on “Who Did the Most To Push
the Dyer Bill.” One of the issues
which this astute Inwyer proposes to
debate is, “Could the Senate, under
he Existing Rules, Have Passed the
Bill in the Face of the Filibuster?”
If the National Association should
deign to answer our legal light at the
national capital, it would inform him
(after the manner of an instructor in
brief making) that this particular is-
sue constitutes what is known as ad-
mitted matter. Right after the death
of the bill, the N. A. A. C. P. de
clared that its program called for the
revision of the rules to permit the
passage of the Dyer bill. And any-
way, Mr. Howard had best fight shy
of debates after his little experience
with William Pickens in Washington.
According to the Wilmington Advo-
cate the dean made quite a sorry
spectacle of friend Perry in the lat-
tas‘s Gorn meeting:
Down in Texas some months ago a
young white woman had a colored
man thrown in jail with the story
that he had murdered her escort and
attacked her. By nothing short of a
miracle he escaped lynching, and the
other day the news filtered down to
his cell that his accuser and her
brothers had been arrested for his
afleged crime. The case brings to
mind the Duluth, lynchings of 1920
where the lying tongue of a slip of
a girl sent three innocent mento
death. Research to determine how
many hapless coloféd men have been
murdered by the lies of white women
would be grim, but interesting busi-
ness.
While Mareus is skirmishing
around trying to decide to whom to
pass the buck in his forthcoming trial
for fraudulently using the mails to
promote the Black Star Line, ardent
followers, not content with the dis-
appearance of a-million or, more dol-
lars into thin air, have raised $6,000
to defend their “wizard.” This Gar.

ARKANSAS COURT
RUSHED MEN TO
DEATH SENTENCE
Two Saimin
te Charge
Moorefield Storey, former, president
of the American Bar association and
now president of the National As-
scociation and now president of the
National Association for the Ad-
ancement, of Colored "People, on
Tuesday, January 9, appeared before
the United States ‘Su Court to
argue apyeals’ in, bekalf of colored
peons condemned to death in connec-
tion with the Arkansas riots in 1919.
Th the course of the brief appealin,
against. sentence of death imposed
pon five of the colored men, sensa-
tional charges are made involving the
Courts of the State of. Arkansas;
newspapers; leading citizens; Rotary
Club; Robert. L. Kitchens Post,
American Legion ‘anjd other organi.
zations of Helena, Arkansas; all_of
whom are charged with having tried
to railroad the colored: men to death,
torture being employed to, make the
risoners testify falsely, _ mot
fiysteria dominating their trial which
is alleged to have taken place in less
than an hour.
‘The cases arose out of an attempt
by colored farmers to organize and
obtain Tegal redress against peonage
or debt slavery under the share crop-
ping system prevalent in’ Arkansas
whe colored men were accused. of &
‘plot ‘te massacre whites” and, ac
cording to the brief, “a large number
‘of white men armed themselves an¢
rushed fo the scene of the rouble an
to adjaceyg regions and began the in.
Giserimingfe hunting,” shooting and
killing of colored men.
“We have distinct evidence,” says
the brief, “‘that all colored men. at
that time were in danger of thei
lives, and that two hundred or three
hundred men were killed—There can
he no question that the citizens of
Helena ‘were determined that these
men should be’ convicted, and that
they manufactured the evidence fo
the purpose; and for the court (Ar.
Kansas Supreme Court) to say that
‘they cannot assume that they neces
sarily did not havea fair trial show
clearly that the Supreme Court of
‘Arkansas was itself influenced by the
same feeling that influenced the
Teaders of society throughout the
region, where these tragedies oc
curred.”
‘The brief further recites that the
conduct af the case against the con
vieted men constitutes a series o
outrages “than which it is hard tc
imagine worse.”
‘Testimeny is cited of H. F. Smiddy
and T. K, Jones, the former deputs
sheriff” of Phillips County, Kansas
‘the latter a special agent for the Mis
souri Pacific Railroad, both white
who were members of the sheriff
poste and swore that the white man
for whose murder the men were con.
vieted, was killed by members of th
posse, and that colored men had
nothing to do with the murder. | They
further, swore that they personally
whipped the “prisoners with straps
studded with metal, put, strangling
drugs in their nostrils and forced the
victims to sit in an electric chair tc
force testimony in the manner desirec
by, the mob.
‘The summary of the conditions
under which the Arkansas trials were
conducted is as follows in the brief:
“We have the whole community
inflamed against the defendants, pre
pared themselves to Lynch them, only
Fefraining from so doing because they
are assured by leading citizens that
the trial should accomplish the. same
purposes, a condition of things where

Garvey’s Trial February 5.
The teil of Garvey and his asso

hhas ‘been set for the first Monday in
February, It is alleged that $1,000,
000 of the stock in this steamship
line, of which Garvey was president,
fwas sold” to credulous persons on
acts, that warranted the charges of
fraud, such, for instance, as adver-
isemént and, sale of passages on the
ghost ship “Phyllis Wheatley.” The
other defendants besides Marcus are
Orlando M. Thompson, vice president;
Elie Garela, secretary, and George
Tobias, treasurer.
When the stock was being floated
Eason, the dead man, who. at that
time "held ‘the title’ of “American
Leader,” was one of the most effec

for subscriptions. He is said to have
officiated at the marriage ceremony
of Garvey and his first wife.
New York, Jan. 19 (Crusader Serv-
ice)—With the federal authorities
speeding up their collection of evi-
dence and preparation of the case
against Marcus Garvey and his asso-
ciates of the defunct Black Star Line,
Inc, Garvey has made a_ definite
move to shift all responsibility for
the stileged fraudulent use of the
United States mail from his own
shoulders to those of his former asso-
ciates.
Eli Garcia, auditor general of the
association and secretary of its Black
Star Steamship Line, was arrested
yesterday, charged with petty lar-
ceny, on complaint of Garvey.
According to Garvey, Garcia sub-
stituted an alee bogus check for
$40 in cash at the association's office.
Alleged Erog caries in the handling
of $1,500, worth of securities in-
trusted to him will also figure in the

Retraining Enables Veteran To Double His Earnings
It is very interesting to the general public and encouraging to men still in training under the United States Veterans' Bureau to know what has been accomplished by men who have finished their courses and been rehabilitated.
Here is a case that serves as an illustration. Rolla Dean Wilson was a clerk and a railroad brakeman before the war, earning from sixty to ninety dollars a month. During his military service he received a shrapnel wound in his right leg, which resulted in a compound fracture of the bone. This injury made it impossible for him to his pre-war工. In order to remove this vocational handicap incurred in the service he was given a course of vocational training with the employment objective of show-card writer and window trimmer, which occupation he could carry on in spite of his wound.
He was given training in a showcard and window-trimming school with supplementary evening courses in an art school. He was given further training to acquire the practical side of the subject with a business house experience of training occupations eight months and cost the government a little over $900 for tuition, supplies, transportation and training pay.
Mr. Wilson applied himself conscientiously to his work at all times and has perfected himself in his chosen calling. When Mr. Wilson was rehabilitated with him in Rapid City, S. D. he a salary of $150 per month, or practically double his pre-war rate of earnings.
Trainee Becomes Inventor
Elmer Johnson, a trainee of the United States Veterans' Bureau at Hibbing, Minn., is the inventor of an automatic hose and hydrant coupling which promises to bring the young man a comfortable income. The invention has been tried out in several large cities of the country and has proven its worth to such an extent that every fire department in the United States is expected to have the new coupling before long. The device consists in reality of two parts. One part is permanently attached to the hydrant and is covered by a cap to keep dust and dirt out. The second part is attached to the hose. The device enabled a fire department to make a direct coupling within one-fifth of a second. Instead of the coupling having to be screwed on as is the practice now, one forward movement connects the hose coupling with the hydrant and the hose is ready for the stream of water, almost instantly.
It is one of the greatest time savers in preparing for a fire and fire chiefs and fire department officials in Chicago who witnessed an actual demonstration of the device say it is one of the best devices ever invented for time saving purposes. It takes a fire department under the present system from seven seconds upward to make a hose connection.
Before enlisting in the army Mr. Johnson was a miller with a grammar school education. In the war he was a sergeant in Co. I, 351st Infantry, A. E. F., and was discharged with a disability which made it impossible for him to carry on as a miller. The United States Veterans' Bureau awarded him vocational training with the employment objective of electrical and oxy-acetylene welder, and he is now pursuing that course.
On reading and filing the petition of the representative of said estate, praying that the Court fix a time and place for examining, adjusting and allowing his FINA-COUT, and for the assignment of the reward of said estate to the persons thereto entitled;
It Is Ordered, that said petition be heard and that person, who has been required to appear before this Court, on Tuesday, the 18th day of February, 1923 at 12 at noon, and that matter can be heard, at the Probate Court Rooms in the Court House in the City of St. Paul, in said County, that said petition should not be granted and that this citation be served by publication thereof in the City of St. Paul, in said County, a copy of this citation at least 14 days before said day of hearing, to each of the persons who have been required to appear from the files of this Court.
Running a small newspaper and making it pay is not an easy task, but worthwhile things are not easy in any of the relations of life.
First of all, the wise editor leaves the faults of the people to God and to the regular agencies of law enforcement. In other words the wise editor treats the faults of the people with silent and prayerful sorrow.
The wise editor is a good mixer. He gets around among the people and gathers news items from every source, something like the honey bee. In other words, the wise editor gathers a variety and quantity of local news items and serves them up to the people in an appetishing form. Another gathers a variety and quantity of foods and cooks them so good it makes your mouth water to think of it.
Now when the paper is well filled with a variety and quantity of local news items the people want the paper and subscribe for the paper and read the paper, and feel they could not keep house without it.
Now all this secures and maintains a good subscription list of people who really want and really read the paper and are glad to pay the subscription price because they are getting real news item value for their money.
Now a good subscription list gathered and maintained on the basis of a paper well filled with local news items makes it easy to get advertisements and at better prices, and the advertisers are glad to pay for the services.
To begin at the other end and work back, a good volume of advertising at good prices is based on a good subscription list, and a good subscription list is based on a paper filled with a variety and quantity of local news items.
When all of this is accomplished collections come easy, and the editor is happy and prosperous.
"Money makes the mare go," and the paper well filled with local news items and good advertisements for which the people are glad to pay makes the editor go, and gives him money to go with.
