Organization Has Stirred Race Hatred and Sanctioned Crime, Charge Garvey Termed "Unscrupulous Demagogue" Who Has Victimized Thousands Washington, Feb. 9. — Attorney General Daugerty was urged to "disband and extirpate the Garvey movement" spearheaded the case against Marcia Garvey for using the mails to defraud in a petition signed by eight prominent citizens of the race, which made public here today. Signers include Harry Pace, photograph manufacturer; Robert S. Sabbot, editor of the Chicago Defender; John E. Nail, real estate dealer, Dr Julia P. Coleman, head of a local chemical company; William Pickens; and Robert W. Magail, secretaries A. A. P. Coleman, George Harris, editor of the New York News, and Chandler Owen, editor Messenger Magazine, who signed as secretary. Menace Concord. Parts of the petition follow: Hon. Harry M. Daugherty, United States Attorney General, Denartment of Justice, Washington, D. C. Dear Sir: To the chief law enforcement officer of the nation, we wish to call your attention to a heretofore unconsidered menace to harmonious race relationship. There are in our midst certain "Negro" criminals and potential muders, both foreign and American corps, in pursuit of and by intense hatred against the white race. These undesirables continually proclaim that all white people are enemies to the "Negro." They have become so fanatical that they have threatened and attempted the death of their opponents, actually assassinating them. The "Negro" movement known as the Universal Negro Improvement Association has done much to stimulate the violent temper of this dangerous element. It's president and moving spirit is one Marcus Garvey, an unscrupulous demagogue who as an anti-communist sought to spread among "Negro" distrust and hatred of all white people. Condones Crime "The U. N. I. A. is composed chiefly of the most primitive and ignorant element of West Iian and American "Negroes. The so-called respectable element of the movement is largely without church, churchless patients without lawyers, lawyers without clients and publishers without readers, who are usually in search of "easy money." In short, this organization is composed in the main of Negro sharks and ignorant "Negro fences." "This organization and its fundamental laws encourage violence. In its constitution there is an article prohibiting office holding by a convicted criminal, EXCEPT SUCH CRIME IS COMMITTED IN THE NEGRO. Marcus Garvey is intolerant of free speech when it is exercised in criticism of him and his movement, his followers seeking to prevent such by threats and violence." After citing specific instances of violence and disturbances perpetrated by Garveyites in New York, California, in New Cleveland and other centers, the document continues: "In fact, Marcus Garvey has created an organization which in it's fundamental law condones and invites to crime. This is evidenced by Section 3 of Article 5 of the Constitution, which states that the caption, "Court Reception at Home," It reads, "No one shall be received by the Potentate and his consort who has been convicted of felony, except such crime or felony was committed in the interest of the Universal New Improvement and the African Communities League." "On January 1, this year, just after having made an address in New Orleans, the Rev. J. W. H. Eason, former American man who had fallen out with Garvey and was to be the chief witness against him in the Federal Government's case, was waylaid and assassinated, it is reported. Both them are prominent members of the U. N. I. A. in New Orleans. Swindled Thousands. "Further, Garvey has built up an organization which has victimized hordes of ignorant and unsuspecting "Negroes" the nature of which is clearly stated by Judge Jacob Panken. Garvey has been before whom Garvey's civil suit for fraud was tried. Judge Panken said: "It seems to me that you have been preying upon the gullibility of your own people, having kept no proper accounts of the money received by the organization of high finance in which the officer received outrageously high salaries and were permitted to have exhorbitant expense accounts for pleasure jaunts throughout the country. I am not a member of the organization to these organizations to go into court and ask for the appointment of a receiver." "For the above reasons we advocate that the Attorney General use his full influence completely to disband and extirpate this vicious movement, and that he vigorously CHICAGO AIDS GIRL LURED BY WHITE MAN New York, Feb. 9—How a colored girl who had been brought from Alabama to Chicago by a white man was cared for and the white man prosecuted and fined. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, by Moriss Lewis, secretary of the Chicago Branch. Mr. Lewis' report states: the colored girl and a white man had been picked up the day before at a railroad station. The white man had brought this simple-minded colored girl from Alabama to Chicago, paid her railroad fare and furnished her spending money. At the time of the arrest, the man and the girl had his ab to take the girl from the station. The case found its way to the Juvenile Court and the girl being over 20 put it outside of "juvenile jurisdiction," because she had other than a juvenile officer to look after the girl. The girl was taken to the Phyllis Wheatley home for the night. Next day the trial came up. The girl was fined $200 and a nominal fine of $25 placed against the girl. COLORED LABOR COMING NORTH Secretary of Labor Announces Winter Shift; More to Come in Spring Washington, Feb. 9—A movement of colored unskilled labor from the South to northern industrial centers considered rather remarkable for winter months, was announced today by James J. Davis, Secretary of Labor, as the result of an investigation by Phil. H. Brown, Commissioner of Labor, as the first gesture toward a northern shift of this class of workers that has been noticeable since the war when the labor famine was met by their inclusion; but the present movement is in no matter widespread or considered general, like the previous Payroll Swell. Payrolls of a number of districts in northern and central western industrial points are being slightly swallowed by the employments of these workers who come directly from southern states, with Georgia the greatest employer of migrants. Philadelphia, Pa., Portsmouth *kron and Youngstown*. Ohio; Milwaukee, Wis.; Argo, Ill.; Indians Harbor, Ind.; and Trenton and Newark, N. J., are specific points into colored labor camps for absorption into industrial life. A slight increase is ncted in Chicago, Ill. New York, southern Ohio and Illinois points, Kansas City, Mo.; Camden N. J., and Detroit, Mich., show an increase in the number of milling and district shows a very slight decline in the use of colored labor. Spring to Bring More. In general, however, continued migration from the South is indicated with a slowly increasing absorption of colored labor by northern industry, but nut is demanded. In this connection the iron and steel industry continue to lead in its demands for colored labor, with meat-packing, glass, transportation, food production, and food processing, the probability is great that a wider entrance than ever before, so far as specific occupations and types of employment are concerned, will eventually result from this growing movement of labor. The most significant phase of the movement is that it obtains in face of reluctance of this labor to drift northward in winter, and the sugars and other nutrients bring larger numbers, providing the industrial demands prevail. INDICT GARVEYITES FOR EASON MURDER New Orleans, Feb. 9. (Crusader Service) William Shakespeare, Chief of Police in Marcus Garvey's New Orleans branch and Constantine Dyer. Garvey patrolman, were indicted so long ago that he was shot to death as he was leaving a church where he had spoken here on the night of January 1. In an ante-mortem statement Eason said he was preparing to go to New York possibly to agent Garvey who is charged with using the mails to defraud in connection with the sale of stock in the Black Star Line. Eason said he had been hounded and driven from New York by the Immigration association because he rebuked Garvey at a convention for misuse of funds. When Shakespeare and Dyer were arrested the former had pondered gun apetards, grotesque rapes, rivalling Garvey's and much silk braid, his official regalia as Police Chief. TEXAS FLOGGERS ARE WHITEWASHED BY JURY Houston, Tex., Feb. 9. (Crusader Service). The Grand Jury adjourned today, declaring inability to obtain definite information on one floorging at Goose Creek of Mrs. Andrey Harrison and his family.

Many Big Disasters Occur During Year Despite Efforts to Promote Safety. WORKERS BLAMED IN REPORT Shows a Reduction of Twenty-Three Fatalities From Total for 1921, but Will Not Represent Lowering of Death Rate. Washington.—Reports received by the United States bureau of mines from state mine inspectors indicate that 1,950 fatalities was the toll of human lives exacted in the coal industry during 1922. This is a tentative figure based on actual reports covering 11 months and on an estimate for December based upon the probable output of coal for that month. The estimate represents a reduction of fatalities from the total for 1921, but will not represent a lowering of the death rate. In relation to the quantity of coal produced, the accident rate will be actually higher than for the previous year, the report said. In a summarization of the year's record, bureau statistics point out that from April 1 to August 31 a large part of the industry was closed down on account of the miners' strike, the production of fresh-mined anthracite was completely stopped and the output of soft coal was cut in half. This stoppage naturally eliminated accidents that would have occurred had the mines been in operation. Thirteen Major Disasters in Year. The reduction in loss of life despite the strike was not as large as it might have been because of the great number of lives lost by mine explosions. The outstanding feature of the mine was what the bureau officials call "major" disasters, accidents in which at least five lives were lost. There were 13 of these during the year, 11 of which were explosions, which together cost the lives of 261 men. During the year they were only five 84 lives, with only 24 of 84 lives. Only three of these were mine explosions, which resulted in only 21 deaths. The most disastrous in 1921 killed 11 men; that for the last year exacted 87 lives, while another took 77. On the basis of number of fatalities per million tons of coal mined the death rate from gas and dust explosions in 1921 was only 283, while for the first 11 months of 1922 it was 731. The records of the last six or seven years had furnished grounds for the hope that the coal-mining industry was no longer to experience the terrible explosions of gas and dust which formed so distressting a part of the industry's record in earlier years, the statisticians declared. For many years the bureau of mines and other agencies have been investigating the causes of the explosions, deserving to find ways to stop them, and when they occurred to stop them from traveling through an entire mine Preventive Measures. Proper ventilation to prevent dangerous accumulation of gas; wetting the mine to alley dust; the use of rock-dust to obstruct the progress of explosions and other safety measures have been investigated and devised. However, the grave loss of lives is not entirely attributable to explosions, it was declared. Less than 10 per cent of the fatalities are caused by explosions; nearly 50 per cent result from rock and coal falls. "For this lack of improvement," the report stated, commenting on the increased death rate, "it is perhaps fair to place the larger part of the responsibility upon the miners themselves. They are continually at the working place where most of the falls occur, and are best able to observe the conditions under which they work and to tell when rocks should be taken down or props put up. A miner's natural desire, however, to increase his earnings through larger tonnage and his disruption to take down a rock or put up a prop when needed, have been the cause of many needless deaths and injuries in coal mines." Shot to Death at Resvival Meeting. Martinville, Ind.—As the congregation sang a hymn at the close of a revival meeting, Fred Haase, twenty-six years old, was shot and killed by his father-in-law at Mount Zion church, near here. Samuel Walk, who fired the fatal shot, told police he shot in self-defense when Haase attempted to renew an almost forgotten quarrel. Legislator Returns Money Paid While He Was Ill Pierre, S. D.—Protecting that he had received too much money from the state for his services as a legislator, George P. Bennett, state senator from Pennington county, has returned the surplus. Mr. Bennett was ill and unable to attend all of the 1921 sessions of the South Dakota legislature. On returning this year he walked into the state treasurer's office and paid the fee received for the time he was ill. Only One-fourth As Many Victims Now As Thirty Years Ago AREA ALSO SHRINKS Forty Years' Record Shows Hopeful Trend, Careful Study Discloses Atlanta, Go., Feb. 9—(Special) that the lynching evil is steadily being reduced, both as to numbers and area, and that its eradication is only a matter of years, is the substance of a statement given out by the Commission on Interlibrary Corporation as the result of a careful study of the lynching record for the past forty years. During that period, the statement points out, lynchings have occurred in forty-four states, in as many as thirty-three in a single year, (1892) and in an average of twenty-one states, yearly losses in 1922 only. In twenty states had lynchings, and in 1922 only ten. This indicates that the habit is being gradually pushed off the man. Total Victima Less. The number of victims also has steadily decreased, with slight variations, from the high mark of 255 in 1892 to 57 last year, the latter figure being only about half the annual average for the forty year period, and the slight addition, is pointed out that there has been a notable decrease in the lynching habit in the states where it still persists. Last year's record represents a decrease of 27 percent from the forty year annual average of 79 for the same ten states. The figures - for certain states where special effort has been taken to curb lynching are cited as particularly encouraging in their assurance that the habit can be overcome when public sentiment and law unite against it. For example, Alabama with a yearly average of eight lynchings for the forty years, has cut the number to two, Tennessee, with an average of nine, and an average of one year, and a total of only five in the last four years. Oklahoma and South Carolina, each with an average of four, had but one each in 1922. Louisiana, with an average of nine, has cut the record to three. North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky, with an average of five victims per year for forty years past, had not a single one in 1922. Special Laws Held. It was pointed out that in several states special legislation has been enacted and found very helpful in curbing lynching, among the most effective measures being a state constabulary under the control of the government, as in Alabama and Tennessee, and provision for the removal of prisoners under prison terms to mobs, as in Alabama, Florida, Kentucky and South Carolina. These two measures consistently applied, says the Commissioner, will make it possible for any state to reduce to the vanishing point. DON'T WAIT AND TEMPT FATE C. D. Hibbard, District Manager of the U. S. Veterans' Bureau, Minneapolis, has issued a pertinent statement to all former servicemen directing their attention to the desirability of having their cars insured against fire, theft, and accident. Ask six of your friends who own farms whether they have their cars insured against fire, theft, and accident. Ask six of your friends who own farms whether they have their farms insured. Ask six of your acquaintances who own homes whether they have their homes and furniture insured. "You will find in each instance that those who have their property insured are most prosperous and most businesslike of the six. Consider their example. "If it is worth while to insure automobiles, farm buildings, and houses, it isn't it more important to insure that which is infinitely more valuable to veterans of the world war should reinstate their government insurance at once." TOOK "REB" BILLS IN PAYMENT FOR RUM Chambourg, Feb. 9. (Crusader Service)—A sailor on board the French Government Tank steamer Dordogne, who accepted Confederate $50 and $100 bills for bootleggers to whom he smuggled liquor at Font Arthur, Tex., and to a French martial. The sailor changed his bills into French money here, but the recipients of the Confederate currency came back to have him make good. CUT SENTENCES OF SOLDIERS OF 24TH Leavenworth, Kan., Feb. 9. (Cruader Service) Twenty of the alleged Houston rioters in the Federal District were sentenced to sentence of sentence, it was announced officially today. Nineteen of the prisoners have had their sentences reduced from life to twenty years, and other from life to eightteen years. Sixty-seven former colored soldiers of the 24th Infantry were convicted of participation in the Houston, Tex., July August 25, 1917. Six were here. Tame History of Newest Unique Boom Village in Arkansas. Gamblers and Gummen Conspicuous for Their Absence in Smackover, Ark. —Promoters and Get-Rich-Quick Men Gene. Smackover, Ark.—An oll boom town, with most of the characteristics of a boom town eliminated, surprises visitors to this place, which less than four months ago, was a sleepy, little railroad stop, but now a booming, hustling city, with a population said to be 15,000. Slot machines indicate the limit in open gambling, and the oldie "bad men" of boom towns are a matter of history. A M.P. elected the town's first mayor December 22, won his sight in an election in which 48 votes were polled on a platform of law enforcement. Before the election and in the early days of the boom town there were some disorders, including four homicides, but what disorders have occurred in the field, authorities declare, were before the present law enforcement system had been worked out. None Get Rich Quick. There is a notable absence of promoters, lease peddlers, "oil stock exchanges" with their quotation boards, and the usual rush of excited man carrying blue prints of the field in their hands. These things are explained by the fact that the entire field, with the exception of a few small tracts, is all in the hands of the big companies. The speculator and promoter haven't a chance. There are no get-rich-quicks, in spite of the fact that the territory is the most productive in the mid-continent field. When oil was struck, the owners were unable to realize from the sale of leases at high prices, as most of them had already leased their land. The few who were suddenly made rich were the non-residents whom the original lease buyers had been unable to Fire is Pearl. Smackover is a typical boom town in one respect—the tent colony. There are 20 short blocks of one and two-story frame buildings, hastily constructed, and several acres of tents. The buildings are all rooming houses, hotels, stores, or other business places. They are jammed together and, as the town is absolutely without water except from half a dozen wells not equipped with pumps, fires similar to the ones that several times destroyed the boom town of Breckenridge, Texas, are almost a certainty sooner or later. Every building is plastered with signs warning of the fire danger, and the state fire marshal has taken what other means are within his power to prevent fire, but most of the citizens of the town confidently expect that the place will be razed by flames when one of the "boomers" becomes careless and drops a cigarette in one of the oil-soaked, filmy buildings. CUTS OFF BROTHERS IN WILL New York Woman Declares Kin Have Not Used Her in Friendly Way. New York.-The will of Isabella B. Hamilton of 235 West One Hundred and Thirty-fifth street, who died, leaving an estate of more than $25,000, has been filed in the Surrogate's court. After making specific bequests of $22,500, the testator said in her will: "As the conduct of my brothers, George H. Hamilton and Benjamin P. Hamilton, has not been brotherly toward me for many years, and having in mind that they contested the will of my brother, Erasmus Hamilton, and put me to great expense and trouble in so doing, I have no provision for them in this instrument." Footprints to Identify Babes. New York.-The footprint method of identification of babies that is to be urged in a bill before the legislature was shown to be already in effect at the New York Nursery and Child's hospital when John R. Howard, superintendent, offered to the police department the collection of 6,000 babies' footprints recorded at the institution. It is said to be the largest collection of infant footprints in the world. They are taken after the birth of the child and are used as a guaranty to the mother that her baby cannot be exchanged. Civil War Bomb After 57 Years Wrecks Home Opelousas, L.A.-Tossed about for 67 years, in which it served as an andron and was used in shotputting exercises and for other purposes, a bomb intended for use in the Civil war exploded the other day, wrecking a tenant house on the plantation of A. E. Veltin, two miles south of here. It was serving as an andron when it exploded. No one was in the house at the time. The house was wrecked and burned. WHITE TEXAN SHOOTS PORTER; GETS PRISON New York, Feb. 9—Mrs. Thomas Russell, secretary of the Reno, Nevada branch of the National association for the Advancement of colored people, has reported by letter to the national office on the successful prosecution of a white man who shot a colored hotel porter in Reno. The report is as follows. On July 7, 1922 a colored hotel porter was shot by a guest over a pass key. After a few days in the hospital the victim recovered. The perpetrator was arrested and released on bonds. At the time of the shooting the local branch hired a lawyer to see that we got a fair deal. After the first trial the jury disagreed, ten for conviction and one for acquittal. The second trial was conviction of attempted murder with a sentence of from one to two years in the penitentiary. The jury was out only a short time and was unanimous. We feel we have let a man be convicted of murder from that state) learn we do things a bit different in Nevada than Texas. COLORED DRIVER ACCIDENT VICTIM COLORED DRIVER ACCIDENT VICTIM William Wilson One of Two Killed in Police Car Crash Tuesday William Wilson, colored police car chauffeur, and Earl Hackert, patrolman, were instantly killed at 5 A. M. Tuesday morning when a Prior avenue police car crashed into the Hamline millinery shop at Snelling avenue and Van Buren street. Patrolmen Arthur Haessig and William Kosthrzy, who were in the rear seat of the car, were severely injured. Wilson and Hackert were struck across their heads by a falling "I" beam and died instantly. Haessig and Kosthrzy were buried in debris. The whole front of the brick building was torn away by the speeding car, the second or third collapsed, precipitating couple, bed and all, into the street. A telephone call to the Prior avenue station at 4:30 A. M. called the patrolmen to the Fair Grounds to investigate an automobile accident. They returned on Snelling avenue at 4:30 A. M. and found the automobile were in the beaten snow ruts. In an effort to swing the car free of the ruts, the front wheels jammed. The automobile crossed Van Buren, crushed into the millinery shop, knocking the studding out front under the front end, and brought shovels of bricks and a huge iron beam upon the heads of the patrolmen. Wilson, who lived at 155 Aurora avenue, was appointed to the department October 14, 1914, and was considered one of the department's most dependent departments according to Captain Michael Gandhard. His widow is his sole survivor. The funeral was held yesterday Mrs. T. H Hollys, undertaker. MONT REILY MAY QUIT POST AT PORTO RICO Washington, Feb. 9. (Crusader Service)-Governor E. Mont Reilly of Porto Rico said today he would resign if his health did not show decided improvement. The governor earlier in the week with the President and Secretary Weeks, Governor Reilly purchased tickets for his return to Porto Rico on a steamboat leaving New York Saturday. Considerable disruption to administration has been reported to the government from Porto Rico. Governor Reilly, who does not like "Negroes," had six ribs broken in an automobile accident at his home in Kansas City three weeks ago when his car collided with that driven by a police officer. The hardships of his office required his best health, and if his condition did not improve he might resign. KNOXVILLE PASTORS SNUR BILLY SUNDAY Knoxville, Tenn., Feb. 9. (Crusader Service)—Colored ministers here have refused to attend the services of Billy Sunday on the ground that he is a member of the Ku Klux Klan. Sunday has issued no statement on the point, but his secretary, Robert Matthews, declared the evangelist belonged neither to the Ku Klux Klan nor any other fraternal organization. The controversy came the day before the colored ministers by the Sunday committee, to attend a jim-crow meeting for the colored people Sunday next. The pastors at a meeting passed a resolution refusing to do so. TRIED IN VAIN TO STOP KLAN PARADE Atlanta, Ga.; Feb. 9. (Crusader Service)-John A. Manget disclosed today his unavailing efforts to persuade Mayor Sims to cancel permission for the Ku Klux Klan which through the streets last Wednesday. "This cowardly aggregation hid behind masks," Mr. Manett said, in giving out his correspondence, "and were advertised as knights of the Knux Klux Klan, which organization was born in this city of dreamers and warters. At the head of this bunch were Empire champions, hides their masks, and rede mounted police of our visible city government by order of the mayor. $2.00 PER YEAR Ministers and Welfare Workers Ask Mayor to Act When Police Wink Sixty-six Boys and Girls in Court; Conditions at School Deplorable (New York News.) Celewald, Ohio, Feb. 9. A delegation of colored ministers and welfare workers, meeting in this city with G. Jones, superintendent of schools, deceived that the board of education call upon Mayor Fred Kohler and the police department to give certain parts of Central avenue S. E. and nearby streets a moral housecleaning. The conditions of immorality "too shocking for utterance," charged that designing men were entering school buildings to make dates with colored girls, that boys and girls of fourteen and fifteen were entertained in houses of ill repute, and where whitehouses drugs are being pledged in wholesale quantities. All of this, according to the colored leaders in the conference, is going on without knowledge of the police, who they say, are being practically no effort to clean up the district. Supt. Jones called the conference in an effort to find some cure for admitted evils in territory surrounded by the Junior High School, Case-Woodland Elementary School, and other schools. Sixty-six Brought to Court. Juvenile Judge George S. Addams recently instituted a cleanup of morality and drink among colored boys and girls of Kennard Junior High School. Court investigators and school truist officers discovered that sixty-six children were making a practice of attending a women's house on Norman avenue S. E., off E. 105 St., where all manner of dancing was encouraged, liquor sold and rooms occupied. Judge Addams assigned probation officers to clean up the situation, and within a week the entire number who had been in the house were brought before him. He sent the woman who was the dancing school to Maryville real estate, and sent two dozen of the fifteen-to-sixteen-year old boys and girls to state industrial schools. A half dozen girls admitted morality in the women's home, and others pointed out various offenders who had been violently held blameless, as they had only visited the place. All the school children testified that the woman sold liquor and charged admission to her place. Since then Judge Addams was informed that the place on Norman avenue was only one of a number of girls who had been run. They were organized by a man, his informant said, and the man hired women to operate the places. Parents Seem Uninformed. "When a wave of immorality hits a district, like this one was hit, the effect is terrible," said Judge Addams. "Practically every family tagged someone, some women and the strange part is that none of the parents suspect what is going on. "However, the exodus of delinquents to Lancaster and Delaware will cause them to think a little. The decent people of the neighborhood have a right not to be contaminated with this sort of cattle, and should be treated to ensure their children to school with them." "The question is much broader than Cleveland," Rev. H. C. Bailey asserted. "It's a matter of the morale of the South being transplanted in the North. In the South every colored girl is considered the legitimate prey of every man, white or black, and people from the South the same moral situation is being set up. W. R. Connner, director of the "Negro" Welfare Association, asserted the problem is not a racial one at all. Blames Lax Supervision. "It's an age-old human problem," he said. "Both races are equal at fault. It seems to me there is lax supervision in the schools somewhere. I may be a small town man, but I know that in Pennsylvania, teachers and teachers could were considered under the care of the parents from the time they left home until their arrival on the school grounds. From that time until they had returned to their homes they were under the care of their teachers and teachers could dictate dictate streets they should traverse in returning home, and even what side of the street they should walk on." Miss Jane E. Hunter, secretary of the Phillis Wheatley Association, asserted she had made an investigation and had compiled a long list of houses of questionable police which she had turned over to the police. "What the police have done about it I don't know," she added. Rev. E. A. Clark charged that conditions in the eleventh ward were permitted to go on bad to worse under Mayors Harry L. Davis and Wm. S. KitzGerald. "Recently," he said "there seems to have been a little improvement, but not much—hardly enough to notice on think conditions are Let us turn over the police a whole lot worse than you think they are." THE APPEAL AN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER Issued Weekly J. Q. ADAMS, EDITOR AND PUBLISHER 302 Court Block, 24 E. 4th St. PHONE CEDAR 5649 Entered at the Postoffice in St. Paul, Minne- sota, as second-class mail matter, June 6, 1885, under Act of Congress, March 3, 1879. TERMS STRICTLY IN ADVANCE Single Copy, One Year.....$2.00 Single Copy, Six Months.....1.00 Single Copy, Three Months.....50 SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1923 EMANCIPATION TIME The spirit and soul of the great Lincoln must writhe with anguish as they view the Union which he saved. The Emancipator looks down on a Union in which there is strife between the north and south, the east and west, between rich and poor, black and white, Jew and Gentile, capital and labor, Protestant and Catholic—strife and hate and murder which has sprung from the loins of hideous, naked greed, religious history, blind race and color prejudice. Before the open hearths of belchling steel mills thousands of slaves bend and toil to the lash of enthroned Capital; in the blackened pits of Virginia, Tennessee and Alabama, minors slave under the prodding of The company; in Georgia and Arkansas poor, ignorant black men work the fields in slavery as complete and vicious as any in Lincoln's day under threat of death or legal execution; mobs of slaves to Passion, Bigotry, and Prejudice ruthlessly murder in the name of their masters. Someone is needed today who will say again that government of, by, and for the people shall not perish from the earth, who will maintain that beside the preservation of the Union with her laws, traditions and ideals, all else is as nothing, who will honestly and fearlessly enforce the law—who will save the country from itself. America needs another rail-splitter. VICE IN SCHOOLS Cleveland and the colored press in general is much perturbed over the reported conditions of immorality in the schools of the Central Ave. district. They should be; but the Cleveland dailies should not treat the situation as though it were peculiar to colored schools and districts alone. Scarcely ten days before the Cleveland conditions were brought to light the press of the country carried a story of debauchery indulged in by the fair youths and maidens of a high school in a fashionable suburb of Chicago. Had it not been for the jealousy of one boy who was not invited to a wild petting party, the thing might still have been undiscovered. So its a case of the pot calling the kettle black. However, the fact that children of both races are guilty of these practices is no excuse for their existence. The astonishing part of it all is that neither the school authorities or the parents knew about the rottenness that was pulling down the boys and girls. The revelations are first a damning indictment of the parents involved. The father or mother of a boy or girl of high school age who cannot account for the great part of his child's 24 hours is not worthy of the name of parent. The father-who cannot set his boy an example at least through his teens, and the mother who cannot teach and exemplify chastity to her daughter through her teens are unfit for parenthood. The revelations are further a reflection on the school authorities. Men allowed to meet girls at the schools! There have been whispers about school authorities in a number of cities. Conditions in the schools of a large middle western center are said to be shocking, but no one does or says anything because—well, just because. If the teachers of our schools cannot protect our boys and girls while they are under their supervision, why, throw them out! Let there be no mincing and hesitating about it. Let there be no thought of shielding colored teachers for the "good of the race." Let's have an end to this thing now. Cleveland and Oak Park point lessons to the rest of the country. People are prone to laugh at and condemn attempts to regulate marriage. They grow indignant at the suggestion of medical inspection, mental tests, and sterilization; they hedge at laws which insist that children shall be given certain safeguards. But incidents such as these strengthen the belief that a dangerous minority of present day parents are unfit and serve also to bolster up the arguments of the proponents of stringent regulation of marriage. It's up to the parents to prevent situatics like that in Cleveland. In the end they are the responsible ones. EFFICIENCY AS A LEAVEN Since the appointment of the colored stenographer to serve the state legislature in the present session, nothing but the highest commendation on her work has come from the halls of Minnesota's capitol. One in high authority who has seen stenographers and minor clerks come and go has been quoted as saying that the colored appointee is as good, if not better than any who have served in her capacity. This is just one more instance which proves that in the majority of cases (we know that there is a fairly large minority) efficiency counts more than color. Not very many years ago a young colored woman left the general offices of a large railroad company in the city after having been employed as a stenographer for seven years. Efficiency counted. A short while ago a colored lawyer in Minneapolis induced one of his white brethren in the profession to try a colored office girl. She lasted one week. The publisher of an influential eastern weekly tried to run his shop with colored compositors, but they wouldn't make time, and quit as soon as they made one or two pay days. Ninety percent of the reason for the colored man's wail that "they" won't give him a job is his lack of efficiency. More workers of the stamp of the stenographer in the capitol and others of her kind over the country will go far toward easing friction and will create more openings than all the blustering and "demands" that the race can muster. CONGRATULATIONS To its contemporary, The Northwestern Bulletin, which celebrates this week it's first birthday, THE APPEAL offers congratulations. IN THE APPEAL'S lifetime not a few have essayed the task of publishing a weekly newspaper in the twin cities, but for one reason or another they passed the way. We extend The Bulletin cordial good wishes on this anniversary occasion. YOU MAY BE NEXT Because unknown persons, persu- mably strikers, continued acts of viol- ence against railroad property, north Arkansas citizens take the government in their hands and drive all strikers out of the country. No inquiry is made as to individual guilt. All must go. In Blanford, Indiana, an unknown colored man is accused of assaulting a white girl. Local white men order the colored inhabitants of the town to turn over the offender or be run out of town. The entire colored popula- tion of Blanford, accordingly, has had to flee from its homes to a refuge in other-parts of the state. It is a sort of Armenian expulsion here at home. A similar case occurred a week or two ago in Florida where a colored settlement was wiped out by fire on account of a crime charged to one of them. This type of justice has not been unknown in wartime in occupied regions. When the Germans invaded Belgium one Belgian "snipier" could bring death to an entire village. Thus armies make a whole enemy community responsible for the conduct of any one of its members. Apparently in an informal way this military method of justice is getting a peacetime hold in America. The thing is full of startling possibilities. Naturally such a rule can be applied only to minorities, but who of us is not at some point in a minority? Is the time near when a high minded mob of consumers will be hanging all merchants because some one merchant has been caught doubling his money on prunes? Shall we see the day when all the plumbers, in town are tarred and feathered because one plumber has had to make three trips to the shop to get tools to finish a fifteen-minute job? Shall all preachers be in peril because Percy Stickney Grant has tarnished heretic? Most of us, when we look at the matter from the standpoint of our own personal risk, must prefer the discriminating, through slow and often inefficient justice of the peaceful courts. Being an employer, we may be tempted to relish what happened to the Arkansas strikers. Being a laborer, we may be tempted to excuse what happened at Herrin. Being devoted to write supremacy we may tolerate the Blanford deportations. But when we consider the indefinite extension of this martial law type of justice we can hardly fail to agree that it carries fatal drawbacks. We can't be sure that it will always be the other fellows ox that's gored—Lincoln (Neb.) Journal. BLACK AND WHITE Last year there were 57 lynchings in the United States, most of them of colored individuals. A paragraph or two suffused to describe the incidents to newspaper readers. But in Louisiana two white men of questionable character met death at the hands of a mob, and for months thousands of columns of news space have been devoted to a minute description of every phase of the horrifying murder. The contrast serves to white and colored person. To murder a suspected colored man is only a matter A. B. "The Great Emancipator," the 114th Anniversary of Whose Birthday Will Be Celebrated Monday. of course, but to kill a white man is a horrible outrage against the laws of the state. VETERANS' BUREAU MAKES NOTEWORTHY RECORD The war of words over and about the N. A. A. C. P. continues unabated. The Atlanta Independent has come back at Willion Pickens in a double column broadside. We prefer to watch the battle from up here in our corner of the northwest without getting into the heat of the conflict, but we cannot refrain from a word now and then. The writer of the article in the Independent claims that Pickens does not argue, but resorts to calling names. We read the Independent's article very carefully and little could we find except personal abuse and reflection. Giving the history of William Pickens' activities, hinting at why he might have left certain positions, and mistaking his alma mater is not answering whatever charges he may have made in his article. Arguments of this caliber serve only to befuddle the public and plant prejudices. If there is something wrong with the N. A. A. C. P. then all of us want to know about it, but we don't care to know what some individual thinks of an officer of the N. A. A. C. P. The East Tennessee News takes exception to the refusal of the colored pastors of Nashville to close their churches and attend a separate Sunday evangelical service of the Rev. Billy Sunday. More power to the pastors and may their tribe increase! Here is one case at least, where the colored pulpit has been wiser and more independent than the colored press. If Billy Sunday has a special kind of gospel for colored folk he is a warped preacher of the Word. The Nazarene preached to all, regardless of color. The refusal need not disturb the race relations in the city as the News fears. The colored pastors merely signified that they wished to hold services in their own churches rather than worship with Mr. Sunday—which was their right. Segregated Christianity never got anybody to heaven, and never will. The way of the small newspaper editors is hard and the way of the colored newspaper editor is harder still, but there can be no excuse for reprinting material without giving credit to the exchange. It is possible to see how an occasional news story is clipped without credit but how a small, insignificant colored weekly can print the editorials of another as though they were its own is beyond our comprehension. We had clipped, credited and pasted an editorial from one of our Southeastern contemporaries preparatory to sending it to the press room when we chanced to read a press release quoting the identical editorial from the New York World! This is plagiarism of the worst and most inexcusable sort. A credit line costs nothing and raises the user in the estimation of his fellows. At various time organizations and periodicals have nominated individuals to the Hall of Meanest Men and recently the Messenger magazine brought forth its list of the smallest colored men. We wish to move for a revision of that list to include the so-called editor of a colored weekly in Albany, Ga, who has used his columns to defend the Ku Klux Klan. From Georgia, the king of the lynching states, and from a black man whose race is the most sinned against comes a defense of organized lawlessness! No one would object to this person following Garvey back to Africa. Douglas Fairbanks says that big motion picture producers associations have sought the dollar at the sacrifices of art, and that independent producers like himself have brought art to the screen—which may or may not explain why a ticket to "Bobin Hood" costs one dollar. VETERANS' BUREAU MAKES NOTEWORTY RECORD The U. S. Veterans' Bureau has just completed a survey of the employment situation among the rehabilitated vocational students. 21,000 have been retrained by the Department of Education Congress in June 1918 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. In district 10, which includes the states of Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana, 1396 veterans, physically incapacitated to resume by former employers, by those of their experiences, have been trained into a new line which they can follow efficiently despite their war handicap. According to Mr. C. D. Hibbard, district manager of the Veterans' Bureau with headquarters at Minnesota, 1396 veterans who have been rehabilitated" men have found employment at wages better than were able to earn in pre-war days. The men are not now regarded as "disabled men but skilled veterans" by employers who reported their services as satisfactory from an efficiency standpoint. Despite all the criticism of the treatment accorded disabled veterans of the world war by the Federal government, there is very good reason to believe that the government, after all, has a splendid record of accommodating disabled are concerned. "The government," Mr. Hibbard stated, "has made vigorous efforts to contact all disabled men. Instead of an attitude of indifference, the Veterans' Bureau has persistently sought out men with possible claims and through all forms of publicity has urged that they take advantage of benefits provided by recent legislation. "The number of vocational graduates in district 10, 1396, reflects but a small part of the work done. Thousands more are now in the course of training along hundreds of lines, ranging from shoe repairer up to professional course as law, engineering, and other college courses. Irrational criticism of the face of the achievements of the government in behalf of its war disabled charges." INCOME TAX FACTS NO. 1 Revenue officers are visiting every county in the United States to aid taxpayers in the preparation of their income tax returns for the year 1922. Information concerning the date of their arrival and the location of their offices may be obtained by writing to the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer lives. Forms for filing returns of individuals net income for the year 1922 are being sent to taxpayers who filed returns for the year 1921. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve the taxpayer of his obligation to file a return and pay the tax on time, on or before March 15, 1923. The forms, 1040A for filing returns of income, 1040-1 for filing returns of net income, in excess of $5,000, may be obtained from collectors of internal revenue and deputy collectors. Returns are required of every single person whose net income for 1922 was $1,000 or more or whose gross income was $5,000 and of every married person whose net income was $2,000 or more or whose gross income was $5,000 and of every married person the instructions on the form will greatly aid in making a correct return. KLAN KLEAGLE GUILTY OF HAVING BLACKJACK New York, Feb. 9. (Crusader Service) Fredrick "Storm" of 177 Elm Street, Yonkers, exalted cyclops of the Ku Klux Klan in Yonkers and Kleagle of Westchester County, was fougely guilty in the police court there because he was a blackjack and was placed on probation. He 's to report every Sunday to Probation Officer Matthew Lesnick for three months. Storms admitted having the blackjack, but said he had a special political role in the plant, which a revolver because he did detective work in the plant of an elevator company in Yonkers. City Judge Chas. W. Boote told Storm he had no right to carry a blackjack, and should not carry the revolver except while on the company's property on duty. Storms told Yonkers last Saturday by saying that there had been a branch of the Klan there for years, and that it had 200 members. He claims 15,000 members in the county. NAVY KEEPS UP SALVAGE WORK Service Developed During the World War Proves Important in Peace. Most Complete and Modern Salvage Vessels Ever Built Are Doing Good Service Along the Coasts—Remarkable Feats. Washington.—One of the interesting developments in the United States navy as the result of wartime experience was the building up of a salvage service, designed to aid in the saving of wrecked ships and the recovery of cargoes and valuable ship's gear. When the country entered the World war the navy possessed no regular salvage service, although collections of salvaging machinery had been made at several depots, and apparatus had been brought to a high degree of efficiency. But this was used mostly in connection with experimental work in firing at various targets simulating vessels. However, when the gathering of United States vessels, large and small, in European harbors resulted in many incidental minor accidents, and the operations of enemy submarines called for equipment to save cozy boats and their cargos, the navy was quick to build up a service which not only repaid the cost of organization, but has since resulted in great savings. Establish Salvage Stations. The first step took the user was the establishment of a salvage section of the bureau of construction and repair, draw personnel and equipment from private salvaging companies. Salvage stations were established along the Atlantic coast by taking over many private concerns, and by August, 1917, a salvage unit had arrived in France. This consisted of the navy's first salvage vessel, the U. S. S. Favorite, a 1,200-tank ship equipped with the finest tools and machinery for recovering wrecked vessels. She was stocked with diving apparatus, recompression chamber, pump, and cutting and repairing both underwater and surface work. A 2% derrick was developed. Immediately upon her arrival in France she started salvaging operations that kept her busy with not an idle day for eighteen months. Her work consisted in pulling boats, large and small, off the beaches, raising them off the bottom, rescuing torpedoed ships and towing disabled ships to port. The vessel played an important part in repairing the transport Mount Vernon, which was torpedoed after leaving Breast, and then placed a cofferdam, the largest that has ever been installed in a disabled ship, on the U. S. Westbridge. Almost any one of the vessels the salvage ship rescued resulted in saving more than the cost of outfitting and maintaining her. Joined by Two Others. This vessel was shortly joined by two others, the Chesapeake and the Manna Hata, 'all equipped with the most modern gear, and though they continued to do their valuable work for many months, it was not a spectacular task and the men who imperil their lives received little recognition. One of the important feats they accomplished was the salvage of the British vessel Narragransett, after the attempt had been given up by the British. The American ships came along with advice and equipment that made a success of what had appeared a hopeless task. The Favorite, while in France, was the most complete and modern salvage vessel ever sent out, and attracted the attention and investigations of the foremost European shipping nations. In the fall of 1919, all salvaging operations having closed, the Favorite returned home, and the other two ships were sold to *British salvage concern* with full equipment. The former then was placed in the service of the Rana canal, where she is now doing heroic work. However, the wartime experience showed the navy the need of such vessels, so two were equipped especially for the purpose, the Falcon and the Widgeon. They are comparatively small, strongly built and have the finest equipment. They can work in rough and shallow waters where other vessels could not venture. The Widgeon will be on the west coast, while the Falcon, which has been in service along the Atlantic for some time, has already been valuable in the recovery of two submarines sunk in accidents. HITS EXCUSE-ME-BOSS CLUB New York City Pits Beggars on Card Index System and Provides for Work. New York.—The thousands of members of what is known on Broadway as the "Excuse-Me-Mister club" must either go to work or leave the city, under a decree made public here. One hundred organizations have emited with the city administration to rid the metropolis of thousands of beggars who have drifted here for the winter to lure the easy dime from naive New Yorkers. A card index system is planned, recording the biography of pre-eminent "manhandlers." Homemakers Learn to Conserve Time. Man, homemakers over the state cooperated with home demonstration agents and university extension specialists last year in carrying on demonstration activities in 81 communities, adopting projects, 211 home demonstrations were established. About 220 women made and are using fireless cookers, and 88 installed commercial cookers. Women carrying on demonstration activities by using a fireless cooker over a period of five months, reported a saving of 351 hours of time. A good homemade fireless cooker which will last for several years can be made, all complete, for $4.50. United States Lambe Fall Hard When Swindles Describe Golden Schemes to Make Fortunes, Expert Asserta. New York—"America squandered $40,000,000 in fake stocks last year!" Americans with a little money lalld by are the biggest suckers in the world. They get skinned—then they holler, and when it's too late they listen to advice." That is the estimate of Charles M. Minton, the "shepherd of Wall street." He is the head of the Minton Brokers Investigating bureau of New York city, and his job is to keep tab on crooked stock salesmen and brokers for the big exchanges. Stock swindles are being operated in every big city and in some smaller ones, he says. He declares he can name at least 150 "shady" houses in New York city alone. "Men are bigger suckers than women," said Minton. "More of them fall, I mean. Women are more conservative—but when they fall, they fall harder. I know one woman who recently lost $80,000 in a fake stock deal. "Oil stocks used to be the favorite medium for 'gyp artists.' Next came mining stock. These are pretty well played out now. New schemes are being hatched all the time. Radio is now being used to trap suckers. Many of the artists have long sucker lists, and boast that they trap one out of every five persons they scheme against. Americans are becoming more mullible every day." PARIS CHEFS ARE STIRRED UP Deplore "Lack of Taste" in Eating and Plan to Do Something Paris—To prevent the decline of the French cuisine and to bring about a return to the great traditions which made it pre-eminent and world-famous, touring associations of France decided to arrange for a special display of cooking, a "week of French cuisine"—not alone a cooking competition, but an exhibition of foodstuffs, showing the supplies which are the specialities of each province of France (Pergord for truffles, Le Mans for poultry, Normandy for butter, etc.), and which will also advertise the best French vintages. It should have been held already, but some details of the elaborate organization not being complete, the date has been postponed. The head of heading Paris restaurants approve of the scheme and hope it will revive interest in the forgotten traditions of sound French cuisine. "Nowadays people don't eat," one complains; "they feed. We have been literally swamped by the bad taste—or lack of taste—of our customers. Connoisseurs are rare. We seldom meet a customer capable of making his menu without committing the most fragrant heresies." WHAT IS HIS IS ALSO HERS Wife*w Right to "Friak" Her Hus band's Pockets is Upheld by New York Court. New York.—If a wife slips her hand in hubby's pocket and extracts some coin therefrom without his knowledge or consent the act does not constitute a breach of law, although it may, of peace. So ruled Judge Rosenwasser of Yonkers in the case of Mrs. Nellel Deruban, who had her husband, Walter, halted into court on the charge that he struck her because she took $10 from a $20 roll without consulting him. "There is a general understanding that a wife has an inalienable right to take her husband's money if she needs it." Judge Rosenwasser ruled. He told Mrs. Deruban she would have to make a formal complaint against her husband if she wished to press the assault charge. The couple left the court arm in arm and Deruban was repeating softly to himself like a lesson well earned: "With all my worldly goods I thee endow!" Bride Prefere Death to Husband. Hagerstown, Md.-Declaring that she would rather die than live with her husband, Rosalena Ellar Woolenstein, sixteen years old, a bride of a month, hurried out of the police station, after her husband had been acquitted of charges of beating her. The young wife declared her nate struck her in the eye and twisted her wrists. The husband denied the charge and said he loved his wife despite her temper. Robbers Solve Safe Mystery but Fail to Get Any Money Beloit, Wla.—Four Beloit robbers got to the "bottom" of a safe mystery here when they found,that the good-looking safe in the Beloit Salvoline company's once had a plaster of parts bottom. The quartette labored several hours taking the heavy safe into nearby woods, chipped out the bottom, and found not even a postage stamp Salvoline officials say the safe was used for "looka." FEATHERING ONE'S NEST The time to feather ones meet, in when one has something to feather it with. Mr. Blank earned from $100 to $200 per month for a dozen years, and then lost his job in the midst of a financial depression. In the meantime the SPEED CUTTING DOWN LIFE SPAN Average Age of Mankind Fell From 57 to 51 in Last Mine Years, Says Scientist. FINDS AVIATORS DIE YOUNG Predicts If Ever Airplanes Become General Means of Locomotion Span of Life Will Be Cut to 40 or 45. Paris—In the nearly nine years since the war was declared in 1914 the average age of mankind has fallen from fifty-seven to fifty-one, according to statistics compiled by the Danish professor, Carl Fischer, and read before the French Academy of Sciences. Not the war directly, but the fact that the war speeded up life is the cause for this, asserts Fischer. "Before the automobile became general the average age in Europe at which men died was sixty," he said. "Even in 1914 the automobile, while universal, was still not a vehicle for the common people. But now the man who rides on or behind a horse is a rarity, while legs are becoming increasingly obsolete as a means of locomotion. "The human constitution demands a certain degree of exercise which is best obtained by activity in the ordinary round of existence. The man who walks to his office every morning has a better chance to live to three decades or more than he goes in his limousine or who takes the subway or autobus. Aviatore Die Young. "Few men who devote their lives to the fascination of speed live long. I recently investigated the average age of aviators, past and present, and found it to be only thirty-six. "There are, of course, other causes for the reduction in the normal life span. They include the growing tendency to degeneracy and looseness of morals to be remarked through the world. This, however, I regard as a consequence of the reign of speed. A man who travels fast lives fast in other ways. He overworks his blood without compensating it by wholesome exercise. "It is deplorable to find this contradictory tendency in the human makeup which will permit him by his own negligence to counteract the labors of doctors and scientists who are giving their lives to his welfare. While savants in their laboratories are striving to discover cures and ways of prevention for diseases now largely responsible for the high death rate, the man in the street defeats their object by living at such an abnormal rate that his constitution, fearfully overworked, eventually gives up The Age of Man. "It is a question whether our constitutions will adapt themselves in time to this new era of speed, but the result of my investigations leads me to believe that this is unlikely. "A study of the age of man will reveal that the average life span has fallen with each increase in the speed of universal locomotion. When men traveled in ox carts and afoot a century was an ordinary lifetime. When the horse became universal the normal age dropped to eighty and then to seventy. At the time of Jesus Christ the average age of man was seventy—the 'threescore-years and ten' of legend. "Then came the locomotive and within fifty years as many years were lopped off the average lifetime as had previously been taken off in more than 100 centuries! This was because the locomotive came into general use before the human constitution had had time to effect even a partial readjustment." "Before the body machine had recovered there came the automobile, and then the airplane. Should the latter ever become a general means of locomotion I do not hesitate to predict that within twenty years there after the average span of human existence will have been reduced to forty or forty-five." THIEF SENTENCED TO CHURCH Given Probation on Condition He Be come Attendant on Services for Three Years. Los Angeles—John Kozma was granted probation on a charge of stealing an automobile on condition that he become a regular attendant at church for three years. This condition was imposed by Superior Judge Avery after it had been brought out at the hearing that Kozma became "wild" after he ceased to attend his church regularly and finally landed in jail charged with stealing the automobile. Liberty Bond In Laundry Franklin, Pa.—Finding a $50 Liberty bond in a basket of soiled clothes, the Franklin Steam Laundry company doesn't know what to do with it. All sorts of articles, from cards to key rings, have been found in baskets of dirty duds, but this is the first time on record that a Liberty bond has been found. All that is known is that the basket came from Stoneboro.

The youngster locked the toy in a trunk in the attic, and every day is demanding a nickel. The parent tried to settle with the boy for $5, but Jack told his father that would mean only 100 days and he did not intend to give up the toy. WINTERS LIKE YESTERYEARS All Delision That They're Becoming Warmer, Says United States Observer. St. Louis, Mo—There is little change in the seasons year in and year out, according to Montrose W. Hayes, meteorologist of the St. Louis station of the weather-bureau. Forecaster Hays declared the frequent expression: "It doesn't get as cold as it used to; we don't have heavy snows any more," possibly is due to the fact that experiences of childhood are more vivid. "The winters of our youth seemed at that time to be shot through with zero temperatures and to abound in heavy snows. In retrospect the acuteness of memory remains or fails in accuracy," he continued. "We have winters that are colder and summers that are hotter, but though these do not work exactly in cycles, they occur so rarely as not to disturb the average. The winters of 1884 to 1888 were very cold, colder than usual and the memory that supports the saying that winters now are not what they were maybe is of the persons whose youth was in that period. "But the fact remains that the coldest winter in the memory of man in the Middle West was the winter of 1917-18." Mary Miss Ellen Norris, eighteen-year-old Klamath Indian girl, is in San Francisco to study for a doctor's degree, and become a modern "medicine mild," supplanting the Indian "medicine man" of legend. BEAR STARTS VOLCANO Inquisitive Bruin Opens Vents in Alaskan Wonderland. Nature's Fires Are So Close to Surface in "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" It Is Easy-to Start Volcano. Washington, D. C.—So close are nature's fires to the surface in some parts of the "Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes" in Alaska, a new wonderland that has been set aside by the United States government as a national monument, that with alpstock or even one's heel it is possible to open up new vents for the escape of hissing steam and gasses, and so make "volcanoes" to order. How an inquisitive bear started a little volcano of his own in the valley is told by Robert F. Griggs in his recently published book, "The Valley of Ten Thousand Smokes," describing expeditions which he led into this amazing country for the National Geographic society. "When first discovered, the active area was devoid of evidence of living creatures," writes Doctor Griggs. "The next year a single bear ventured to cross the valley during our stay. "But in 1919 bears were frequent visitors. They seemed to represent a new population of bears which, having probably grown up in the vicinity of the valley, had come to regard it as one of the normal phenomena of their world. They were not satisfied with merely crossing through the steaming areas, but apparently were attracted in some degree by the smokes. Their tracks often were found close around the largest vents, even far up toward the head of the valley, many miles from any possible source of food. "From their behavior, indeed, it seems not at all improbable that they enjoyed lying on the warm ground, seeking good places to bask in the heat, just as a dog picks for his bed the hottest place behind the kitchen stove. We could not assure ourselves in this matter, for we could never catch sight of them in the valley, and the ground around the big funaroles is baked so hard that only claw marks remained to show where they had walked. If they lay down their shaggy coats left no mark on the hard crust, so we were little the wiser concerning their real habits. "It was not unusual to find the tracks of a bear leading straight up to one of the large vents, where evidently he had stopped to peer into the mysterious hot hole. In one of the steaming areas Hagelbarger found a place where the hot ground had apparently excited the bear's curiosity, for he had dug into it until he started a small fumarole of his own. The appearance of a cloud of steam under his claws as he broke into the hot crust must have given him a great surprise. It did not scare him away, however, for not satisfied with a single experiment, he tried again in several places, each time digging down till he started the steam before titring away." HELPLESS 19 YEARS, WALKS Supposed Hopelessly Bedridden Paralytic Attributes Cure to Power of Prayer. Mahanoy City, Pa.—Jesus told me to arise and walk," declared Miss Sarah Morgan, of Ashland, as she appeared holding a Bible and clad in white before her amazed family, who had nursed her as a hopelessly bedridden paralytic for nineteen years. The girl then walked around the room with certain steps and continued to remain on her feet until bedtime. Not only was her paralysis cured, but all signs of illness have disappeared, according to the family physician. "It is the power of prayer," declared Miss Morgan. "I suffered an injury to my spine when I was a child nineteen years ago and my lower limbs were completely paralyzed. Many specialists have visited us, but could do nothing for me. But I did not despair. All these years I have read the Bible and have prayed. Now I am completely cured." About two months ago Miss Morgan fell into a trance out of which she never came completely until when she appeared like an apparition before her family. Stope to Dress; Dies in Fire. Middletown, N. Y.—James Thorpe stopped to dress when fire started in his house, and then when he tried to escape he found the halls filled with smoke. He tried to get through but was overcome and died. Consumes 25 Pickled Eggs Then Sits Down to Banquet Harrisburg, Pa.—Paul Miller went to Shamokin as a delegate of the Riverside Fire company. While sitting in the engine house another fireman said, "Betcha can't eat a dozen of those pickled eggs." "A dozen! You haven't even sneezed. I could go 25," Miller replied. He started. As he ate, a crowd of firemen who encircled him mournfully counted "22, 23, 24, 25." Two hours later Miller sat down to a banquet—and ate. STOP COUGHING!

Smith of St. Paul, ad- dressed the Minneapolis Forum’ last Sunday, choosing as his subject, “The Opportanitigs of the- Negra) Although Mr, Smith spoke only eighteen minutes the clever way in which he handled his subject seemed to enable him to cover it with great force and brilliance. Surveying briefly the accomplishments of | the colored man in the year of 1922, he said, “We in America can- well look with pride on the achievements of the race in the year that has passed our vision, it was the greatest year of racial achievements, the colored man marched forward ‘and their un- questioned tread shook the whole world into careful observation, there was a great awakening and a’steady progress, an unflinching determina- {ion animated the people everywhere, the heart of every colored man, wo- man and child was beating against the stone that has blocked the pro- gress of our people since the year of 1620. The colored man faces the Year 1928 and he is going to prove his power, his soul and his _ integ- rity.” After speaking briefly _ on world politics, polities in the United States and "industrial | acoemplish- ments he ended his speech with a passionate plea for industrial de- Mmocracy. “Insufficient wages and industrial opportunities,” said _ he, “confronts the workers, impedes their progress, denies and depresses, thelr opportunities for happiness _every- where; justice for, every, man, wo: man and child should be our one en- deavor, for it is the inborn impulse of humanity, the. eternal aspiration of the soul. We want to get rid of the revolutionary idea and the mili- tarist, because he hurts and kills and stands hectoring and blustering in our way to achievement. We have got to accept the doctrine of organ- ization and co-operation, commercial organizations will serve ‘vou the full benefit of industrial growth, no other effort will gain industrial democracy. Ask Daugherty To Oust Garvey And U.N. 1. A. continued from first page and speedily push the government's ease against Marcus Garvey for us- ing the mails to refraud. This should be done in the interest of justice; even as a matter of practical expediency. “The signers of this appeal rev- resent no particular political, relig- jous or nationalistic faction. They have no personal ends or partisan interests to serve. Nor are they moved by any personal bias against Marcus Garvey. They sound this tocsin only because they foresee the gathering storm of race prejudice and sense the imminent menace of this insidious movement which, cancer- like, is gnawing at the very vitals of peace and safety—of civic har- mony and inter-racial concord.” 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 than Eomforable(acome, ‘The invention has been tried out in several large elties of the country and has proven its worth to such an ex- tent that every fire department in the United States is expected to have the new coupling before long. ithe device consists in reality of rts. e is permanently attached to the hydrant and is cov- cred by a cap to keep dust and dirt cut. ‘The second part is attached to the hose. ‘The device enabled a. fire Genartment to make a. direct coup- ling within one-fifth of a second.

SKIRT MAN’S FIRST GARMENT cutlar National Costumes. ‘Washington, D: O.—Tho question of the proper length of a woman's skirt from season to season in one which Springs eternal. Even the archaeolo- sists, according to recent newspaper reports, say that it has been a matter of controversy, for forty centuries and they point out statuettes of. the times of the Pharoahs with skirts of varying cuts and lengths, “Men, too, have had skirts to worry with almost since the dawn of history and some of them—notably the Greek soldiers and the famous ‘Ladies from Hel!’ of the Wotld war—are literally wearing skirts today,” says a bulletin of the National Geographic society. “In fact, the first it which man evolved after he erigfiated in the tropical latitudes and began drifting toward colder climes was probably a skirt of skins suspended from a girdle. Such a garment was worn by the an- cient Babylonians and many others. “The national costume of the Jav- anese men is composed of the sarong and the kabaya, The sarong is a brightly-colored skirt kept in place around the waist by a silk scarf which 1s wound around the body several tines. ‘The skirt falls down over the hips in straight lines and is quite nar- row, with one simple deep fold in front, ‘The kabaya is a sort of dressing Jacket, often embroidered in elaborate colors. Though the Javanese noblemen today are accepting the commonplace English and American attire for ordi- nary occasions, one often sees at thelr festivals startling contrasts in attire. Anent the Philibeg. “Nothing 1s dearer to the heart of the canny Scotchman than his family plaid. Once he wrapped himself in the huge oblong piece of cloth and belted in the lower portion, which extended down to his knees, forming the kilt. Later this lower part was made sep- arately and was dignified with the name of philibeg. “The Albanian armed watchman st the doors of foreign embassies and consulates and the Greek soldiers wear what they are pleased to call the ‘fustenella,’ which is a kilted skirt of knee length made of white cotton or Mea, very full and starched.- The royal bodyguard of the Greek king and the Greek peasants on a holiday also wear the ‘fustenella.” “The men of Ponapi Mand in the Carolines wear skirts, usually made of grass and palm leaves appended from beaded belts, the king's being more elaborate than the commoner’s, And many a black king in Africa has on his coronation robes when he can smirk in pride in a short skirt and a tall hat. “Among the aborigines of Australia the women get out their needles made from a ilttle bone from the leg of an emu} thread them with the sinews of opossums, kangaroos, or emus, and do ‘the Uttle ‘plain sewing’ which makes the necessary skirts for thelr lords and masters. “But man suffers one step nearer feminism than the skirt—the kimono. Indeed, it seems that the street attire for the greater part of mankind 1s a garment of that ilk. The Shah of Per- sia Is all dressed up when he gets on @ gorgeous robe cut exactly lke the American woman's one-piece kimono, except that his sleeves are long and tight and would be a nuisance to her lndyship if she had to weer them. The material he uses 1s elaborate and the embroidery around the edges costly. Burmese Monks Wear Togas. “The men in the Teheran streets wear garments of dark colors made in much the same way, the white of their undergarments making a white dickey at the neck. The vivid robes of the monks in the tempjes in Burma are somewhat like the ancient Roman togas. Greek Orthodox priests and Arabs of northern Africa also wear Kimono-like garments, the Arab calling his a burnooee. The native costume of the Moors of Timbuctu in the Sa- hara gives the effect of the long robes with the lose flowing sleeves worn’ during graduation exercises {tf Amer. tedn universities, “In China, Japen, Korea, Tibet and ‘Mongolia they call the garment various names, bat. when it drifts to American shores it inevitably becomes some woman's kimono. The Mongolian na- tive wears his closely-buttoned up at the neck and belts it tight about his waist. ‘The Lamas of the monasteries ‘of Tibet get them several sizes too large and blouse them at the waist. “The Kerean's long unlined overgar. ment, made of almost transparent mé- terial, which reaches below his knees is belted in.and from this belt he hangs on the left side two cases for a knife, pale of chopsticks, and his large glasses,-and On the right side two bags for his’ money and tobacco. ‘With that outfit he wears a pill-box hat tled under his chin and carries a fan. “When the Chantos of Khotan gather for their weekly summer fete in honor of the life-giving river, they look like a.
