The Appeal

BISHOP CHARGES FUND SHORTAGE APPEAL ADVERTISEMENTS REACH A BUYING MARKET VOL. 39 NO. 15 BISHOP NORTHERN PRESS FLAYS FLORIDA PEONAGE SYSTEM People Morally Dead If They Do Not Abolish System, Says N. Y. Globe SLAVERY TIME NO WORSE Public Conscience Which Tolerates Such Laws and Practices Held Unforgivable. (Crusader Service.) New York, April 13.—Startled by the discovery that the vicious peonage system which is rampant throughout the South is not confined to colored people, but that it takes its toll among whites, the white press is up in arms against the system and is vociferously demanding its immediate abolition. The following editorial from the New York Evening Globe is typical of the attitude of the Northern press: PEONAGE IN FLORIDA "If the story of the death of Martin Tabert, a North Dakota farm boy who was sent as a convict to a lumber camp in Florida for 'stealing a ride' on a train, does not awaken the conscience of the people of that state to destroy the wretched institution of peonage, they must be morally dead. Northing more horrible was produced by slave interim in the midst of a war and select it would be difficult to find a more revolting episode in the records of any people. Facts Admitted. "The essential facts in this tragedy are admitted. Martin Tabert, the twenty-year-old son of a well-to-do North Dakota farmer, decided a few months ago to leave home and see the world. In Florida his funds were exhausted, and he attempted to ride on a railroad train without a ticket. He was arrested and fined $25 or given the alternative of ninety days' imprisonment. His family sent money to pay his fine and more to bring him home. The boy, in the meantime, had been sent to the camp of the Putman Lumber company. The money was returned to the family "by request of the sheriff and the machinery of peonage clamping down on the man." He became ill of malady and was beaten when he faltered at his work. The testimony of his fellow-prisoners concerning the whippings imposed, the sick boy lying face down in the mud, a guard standing with his foot upon the boy's neck while he applied a lash weighing seven and a half pounds, and one of his dying finally, composes a picture too terrible to contemplate. Peonage in Crudest Form. "In the clear record complied by the Word everything is unchallenged. J. R. Jones, the sheriff, admits returning the money sent to buy the boy's freedom, while the Putman company has this to say: 'Beg to advise that we have all able-bodied prisoners leased from Leon County for a term of one year.' Here is peonage in its crudest form, denying nothing. "It is customary in certain parts of the south when episodes of this character are brought up to lay the evil at the door of northern corporations which may be operating in the region. There is shame enough for all in this if it is proved that the Putman Lumber company is a northern enterprise, but the unforgivable aspect is the conscience which tolerates such a law and such a practice. The people of Florida ought to protest unceasingly until the stain upon the honor of the state has been removed." ENTIRE SUMNER HIGH, K. C., JOINS N. A. A. C. P. Kansas City, April 13.—According to reports from Walter F. White, Assistant Secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the entire student body of the Sumner high school of Kansas City, Kan., 410 students in all, have joined the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in a body. At Western University, 108 students joined the N. A. A. C. P. the same day, and at last reports, the 800 students of Lincoln high school in Kansas City, Mo., were out to break the record set. The students are admitted to junior branches of the association which are rapidly being organized throughout the country. TEACHERS HEAR GOOD WIIL MESSAGE. The principles of interracial good will and co-operation were presented by Rev. H. T. S. Johnson before the annual meeting of the Oklahoma Association of colored teachers. The message was well received. Dr. Johnson writes: "We are making encouraging headway in getting the colored teachers committed to interracial co-operation. The big problem of the future will be to get a corresponding interest on the part of the white teachers; for the idea will not fully prevail till the childhood and youth of both races are trained to that end."

Quoting the words of Odell D.

NAVY INQUIRES INTO ARREST OF HAITIAN NAVY INQUIRES INTO ARREST OF HAITIAN N. A. A. C. P. Protests Holding Editor for Criticising Government New York, April 13.—Theodore Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, has ordered an investigation and report of the arrest of M. Fouget, editor of La Poste, a newspaper of Port au Prince, Haiti, according to announcement today by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. According to the report forwarded to the Navy Department by the Advancement Association, Fouget was arrested because he had written in his paper that the place of Haiti's president, M. Borno, was in the national penitentiary. The antagonism to M. Borno in Haiti is said to have been aroused by the report that he intended giving the harbor of Port au Prince to the United States for use as a naval base in the Caribbean. Secretary Roosevelt's reply to the Advancement Association is as follows: "Dear Mr. Johnson: Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of March 22, 1923, concerning the arrest and imprisonment of Mr. Fouget, editor of La Poste, at Port au Prince, Haiti. I have today directed the Major General Commandant of the Marine Corps to secure a report on this matter from the Brigadier General, John H. Russell, U. S. Marine Corps, Senior Officer Present, Port au Prince, Republic of Haiti, and as soon as this report has been received I shall communicate with you further in regard to the case. Very truly yours, T. ROOSEVELT, Assistant Secretary of the Navy." Samuel B. Wilkins, 16-year-old linotype machinist-operator employed by the St. Louis Argus, is said to be the youngest colored linotype operator in the country. He is said to be capable of setting 40,000 ems a day. THE APPEAL. Can Restore Dead To Life, Doctors Aver Chicago, April 13.—Are the dead to come back? Not as spirits but actually to regain life after their hearts have stopped. Dr. Dennis W. Crile of Chicago and his uncle, Dr. G. W. Crile of Cleveland, affirm they have done work in the resurrection line but have not yet given names and other details. They solemnly told the Chicago Medical Society and the Society of Anasthetics that the wonder can be accomplished, by a serum consisting of extracts from the adrenal glands. The adrenal glands are mysterious. Recently noted surgeons have stated that the glands are stimulus of physical courage. The glands are located just above the kidneys. The serum is injected by a needle in the heart. "Life can be restored by the usage of death method. Provided the usage of death can be quickly removed," Dr. Crile stated. "With prompt and fearless treatment the patient may be made to live again. "So far I have used the treatment only in cases of persons who were pronounced dead. Hereafter I purpose to employ it upon persons who are dying." SIX UNMASKED MEN WHIP AND TAR TEXAN Taylor, Texas, April 13.—R. W. Burleson, a white salesman, reported to police today that he had been removed from an automobile by six or seven unmasked men near here and severly beaten with leather straps. Tar and feathers were also applied to his head and arms.; He said he did not recognize any of the men. Burleson, whose home is said to be in Waco, reported to the police that two weeks ago he had re-entered the building to leave Taylor purporting to come from the Ku Klux Klan. Burleson told officers he was driving with a friend and the latter's wife and a young lady when the attack occurred. UNMASKED MEN BEAT CALIFORNIA WOMAN Los Angeles, April 13.—Mrs. Louise Collins, aged 50, was bound taken from her home at Santa Fe Springs, near here, early today by five masked men, beaten and ordered to leave the town, according to the story she told deputy sheriffs. The woman was found in a roadway by motorists, her head cut and bleeding. Mrs. Collins said the men came into her room where she was sleeping with her husband and carried her in an automobile to an orange grove, where she was beaten. She was told by one of the men that she had been "unfair" in business dealings with another woman in connection with a restaurant she conducts, she declared. KLAN HORSEWHIPS COUPLE IN GEORGIA Macon, Ga., April 13—Mrs. Fredericka Pace of New York and Lynwood L. Bright were horsewrapped by kidnappers, believed by the police to be members of the Ku Klux Klan on a country road, near here, late tonight. They were picked up by the sheriff's deputies who were scouring the roads and taken to police headquarters at midnight. The kidnapping occurred in front of the Tabernacle Baptist Church. Among the speakers at the opening of the new plant of the St. Louis Argus was Joseph Pulitzer, editor and owner of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and New York World. REV. L. W. HARRIS POPULAR AS YOUNG PEOPLE'S PASTOR ```markdown ``` Above is shown Pilgrim Baptist church, corner Cedar and Summit, of which Rev. L. W. Harris is the pastor. Rev. Harris is shown below. Veterans Win Honors in Agri cultural Colleges At the North Dakota Agricultural College, Fargo, N. D., the comparative record of U. S. Veterans' Bureau students and the regular students is very interesting. There were 876 regular students in attendance during the fall quarter and twenty-five of them ranked high enough to win places on the honor roll. This was a trifle under three per cent of the total number enrolled. There were also 106 U. S. Veterans' Bureau trainees enrolled, and five of them or approximately five per cent were on the honor roll. The average standing of these five men, for the quarter, was 92.6 per cent. At the last election of the Draftman and Builders club, every officer named for this organization was a Veterans' Bureau trainee, which shows the activity of these men and the esteem in which they are held at this institution. One man, Burton S. Oderkirk, won outstanding honors as a member of the college livestock judging team, which competed at the National Dairy Show and won first place in competition with all the other agricultural college teams in the United States. Oderkirk was easily the ranking man on this team. Harry Eckman, a Veterans' Bureau trainee, the Minnesota School of Agriculture, won a gold medal offered by the "Farmer" of St. Paul for winning first place in the beef cattle class in a stock judging contest participated in by 80 livestock production students. The registrar of the South Dakota State College of Agriculture, Brookings, S. D., says of the Veterans Bureau, those who are pushing the studies there: "The greatest college vocational men are rather distinctly above the average." Attitude of Mind Mr. A. and Mr. B. are men in middle life, and each has the same incurable physical ailment, but one which may not cause death for many years. Mr. A. with a courageous attitude of mind keeps on with the work of life and lives a useful and happy life despite his physical discomfort. Mr. B. with a despondent attitude of mind lays down on the job of life and makes himself and everyone around him unhappy. Minister at Pilgrim Puts Work With Young People Second to Preaching By Odell Smith. While the members of Pilgrim Baptist church and the faction of young people that frequents the "Y" center are debating over which has the greatest claim to Rev. L. W. Harris, the members of the Boy Scout troop are standing quietly by and winking at one another. They have received information from reliable sources that the man who is the cause of this verbal duel is planning on rising with the chickens Sunday morning and hiking to Happy Hollow with them to decide the weighty question as to who can eat the most hot wieners. Is Regular Scout. Of the three factions involved, the boys seem to be more diplomatic in deciding the issue. They agree that Rev. Harris is Pilgrim's minister, and they feel with the "Y" group that he is a real community "pal," but they insist that he is also a "regular scout." And that settles it. When asked for his views on the matter, Rev. Harris said very modestly: "I seriously realize the responsibility that is mine as a messenger of the gospel, and I try to work with man for the redemption of his soul rather than scare him into worshiping God. Young Folk Important "Second to this, do I regard the necessity of being interested in our young folk. It has been my experience that they are more misunderstood than understood. They are the foundations of today upon which the bridges of tomorrow must be built. I feel it an honor to be in a position to have their confidence to the extent that they are willing that I help direct their every day lives. Working with young people has been one of the greatest privileges and keenest delights of my work in the ministry. I do not believe that they can be given too much attention." MRS. MARY BREWIN, CHURCH WORKER, DIES A complication of diseases that had been troubling her for some time was the cause of the death of Mrs. Mary Brewin, 515 W. Central avenue, on April 12. She had been ill for a number of weeks. Mrs. Brewin was born in Randolph county, Missouri, in 1866. She had been a resident of St. Paul for 31 years. She was a member of Mannheimer Benefit Association and St. James A. M. E. church where she was president of Stewardess Board No. 1. She is survived by a sister here, Mrs. Florence Allen, two nieces, Gladys Kemp and Mildred Kemp Roberts, and two nieces in Kansas City. The funeral will be held Saturday at 2 P. M. from St. James church with Rev. Jones officiating. Mrs. Lyles will have charge of the funeral. Interment will be at Forest cemetery. The will of Emilie Jane Smith of Chicago leaves $1,000,000 for an old folks' home where none shall be barred because of creed or race. SHOR Young Local Editor WhoDied Suddenly WALTER H. CHESNUTT.

A. A. C. P. to Address Meeting Sunday at St. Peter's Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of The Nation, one of New York's foremost liberal weekly magazines, will address the Minneapolis Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, Sunday, April 15, it was announced today. Mr. Villard who is a vice president of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, will speak at St. Peters A. M. E. church, Tenth avenue south and Twenty-second street, at 3:00 P. M. His subject has not been announced. The program will be rendered by the Minneapolis Forum, but the meeting will be under the auspices of the Minneapolis branch of the association, of which Dr. R. S. Brown is president. The Nation of which Mr. Villard is the editor, is consistently outspoken in its demand for justice to colored Americans. GEORGIA WOMEN DENOUNCE MOB VIOLENCE. The South Georgia Conference of the Woman's Missionary Society, M.E. Church, South, at its recent annual meeting in Columbus went on record as opposing mob violence in every form and under all circumstances, called upon those in authority to do everything possible to put down, and pledged to support, aid and impartial administration of justice. The failure of the Dyer anti-lynching bill, said the conference, is a challenge to every state and to all good citizens to put a stop to lynching and mob violence. THE LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS By Zane Grey "There had been months of unrest, of curiously painful wonderment that her position, her wealth, her popularity no longer sufficed. She believed that she had lived through the dreams and fancies of a girl to become a woman of the world. And she had gone on as before, a part of the glittering show, but no longer blind to the truffi—that there was nothing in her luxurious life to make it significant." But this New York society girl buys a cattle ranch which becomes the center of frontier warfare. She finds an object for her wealth and abilities; she finds the keenest zest in living and finally—she finds love. The Appeal Starting Next Week $2.00 PER YEAR TAGE $15,000 IS HELD UP BY OTHERS, VERNON CHARGES Accusoes Bishop Beckett and J. B. Hawkins of Withholding Missionary Money DISCLOSURES SENSATIONAL Next Conference of Church Will See Either Revolution or Reformation BISHOP VERNON CHARGES: 1—Bishop W. W. Beckett is unlawfully withholding $5,000 given two years ago for missionary work in Africa. 2—That Bishop Beckett only spent one month, out of four years in Africa when assigned there. 3—That Bishop Beckett now assigned to an American field is crippling the African work. 4—That there will be a reformation or revolution at the next conference. 5—That John R. Hawkins, denominational financial agent is unlawfully holding $10,000 appropriated four years ago for African work. Philadelphia, Pa., April 13.—Where is the $15,000 appropriated by the A. M. E. Church for work in Africa? Missionary ladies of the denomination thought that $5,000 of it had been sent to Bishop W. T. Vernon in charge of the A. M. E. Church work in South Africa. Members of the denomination thought he had also received $10,000 appropriated by the last General Conference for the South African work. Has Not Received A Penny. In a letter to the Christian Recorder, official journal of the denomination last week, Bishop Vernon denies receiving a penny of this sum during the nearly three years he spent in South Africa before returning home recently. Although he begged for a tote to carry his book, Bishop Vernon said, it was withheld. Publication of this letter created a sensation. Accuses Bishop Beckett Bishop Vernon charges that $5,000 of the missing fund is held by Bishop W. W. Beckett, 200 Adelphi street, Brooklyn, N. Y., formerly in charge of South African field and now head of the Missionary Department of the Church, since an alleged shortage was discovered in the funds of a former missions secretary. Bishop Vernon made public the following letter from Bishop Beckett when asked to turn over the money I collected to build the church in Cape Town, South Africa: " * * * * It is now on interest in a Trust Company and will not be available until April 7th, 1921. I do not see the necessity of making such a desperate effort to collect that which has already been collected? Which is only about one fourth or less of the amount required to do the work. When this money is available it will be turned over to the Missionary Society from which I received it." Bishop Vernon declared Bishop Beckett suggested privately that the latter allowed to hold the money. Hawkins Holds $10,000. Similarly Bishop Vernon charges John R. Hawkins, financial secretary of the denomination with offices in Washington with holding up and refusing to pay out $10,000 appropriated by the church at the last General Conference for South African Missions. Not only did he fail to receive any of this money while in Africa, Bishop Vernon says, but "He has given me first one excuse and then another." Mr. Hawkins besides being financial secretary of the/church is also connected with one of the D. C. banks. Flays Absenteeism Referring to Bishop Beckett's absenteeism while on the South African field, Bishop Beckett said "Men who are unwilling to go or who are unwilling to stay and perform their duties in mission fields ought not be permitted to hamper those who are willing to go and stay . . . The A. M. E. Church is facing either reform or revolution. I am against revolution, but will stand with the reformers. N. A. A. C. P. CONFERENCE TO HEAR GOV. DAVIS Kansas City, April 13—Governor Davis of Kansas has consented to address the annual conference of the National Association for the Adoption of People to be held in August in Kansas City, it was announced today. It is hoped that ex-Governor Henry J. Allen will also be one of the speakers. Co-operation for the conference has been promised by Dr. Burris Jenkins, a white pastor whose church has one of the largest followings in Kansas City. Mo. Dr. Jenkins consented to a drive being conducted for the N. A. A. C. P., in his church, according to reports from Kansas City. J. Q. Adams ..... Editor-in-Chief Roy Wilkins .....

CHESNUTT The real tragedy in the death of Walter Chesnutt was not alone that he died young—in the first bloom of his manhood—but that he died in the beginning of a life that promised to yield more than ordinary service to mankind. He was self-made. Before he was 21 he had made a state-wide name for himself in high school track circles, had earned the reputation of being a "hustler" and an "ambitious kid," and before he reached the age of twenty, he had started The Northwestern Bulletin with little capital beside a Big Idea and a will to work. Under his leadership The Bulletin ranked easily among the upper ten colored journals—in less than a year's time! Here truly was a youth of whom the whole race may be proud. When he was forced to forego a college education because of private complications, he might have picked any one of the easy ordinary jobs which colored youths follow. He chose to press on and try to overcome the handicaps which only a few people knew were pulling him the other way. When he might have been "sowing his wild oats" and leaving the serious matters of life to more mature men he was starting a newspaper which should 'speak for and aid his people. The loss of the boy—the man—is one that is mourned by his family and his personal friends; but the loss of the qualities in him is mourned by a race which can ill afford to lose young men of his type. THANKS! We appreciate your observation that THE APPEAL without blare of trumpets is getting better and better. THE APPEAL of the past needs to make no apology, for it represents thirty-eight years of persistent effort, thirty-eight years of human vitality spent to give to the Northwest a medium, that would interpret the thoughts and ideals of its colored citizenry. No! THE APPEAL shall not apologize, THE APPEAL will not boast, there will be no blare of trumpets or bottomless promises * * * we have only this to say * * * that in the past THE APPEAL has received your support and co-operation because of your respect and friendship to its late and veteran Editor John Q. Adams, and your desire to support a race periodical * * * in the future, we ask for your patronage on its merits! THE TEXAS MIND Day by day it becomes easier to see "the Southerner's side of it"—to account for some of the things that happen to black and white people below the Mason and Dixon line. The underlying cause is the puny mind of the Southerner. He (the great mass average) has little or no mind; he cannot think—he isn't trained to do so; hence, like a child, he is swayed by every wind of emotion and prejudice that blows. Last month Dr. DuBois, in the Crisis, revealed a rather interesting and amusing Texas mind by publishing some correspondence from that state. The March 21 number of The Nationa contains an article and a letter that throw further illumination on the mentality of the people of the Lone Star state—and both are written by native Texans. The quotations which follow indicate clearly why Texas ranks so high in mobocracy and so low in democracy: "The best preventive against conviction in a Texas murder case is money . . . "we have little interest in scientific, or indeed any sort of knowledge, from books, unless immediately merchantable . . . "It is hard to believe that a large, rich, technically and mechanically efficient newspaper can fill its editorial page 365 days a year without indicating somewhere in it that some time some editor has read a book. But the Dallas News, our greatest Texas daily, achieves this . . . "The public schools and the State University were bountifully endowed with gifts of land; but these have not been well managed. Our country schools are poor and the teachers miserably paid . . . "A Texas legislator recently charged that the University was teaching Socialisms, and cited the catalogue where in plain black print it was set out that there were classes in and teachers of Sociology." A letter to The Nation throws more light on the minds of these same legislators: "It became know several weeks ago that Paderewski intended to visit Austin. Soon after the news arrived, Rep. Roy C. Coffee sent to the Speaker's desk a resolution signed by many members extending a Texas welcome to "the great Russian ex-premier and famous baritone singer," and asking him to sing before them. This resolution was adopted without challenge and by a unanimous vote of the House of Representatives." Yes, it is easier to understand the white Southerner now. All along we have been appealing to him as man; we have sought to reason with him; we have sought to call him (as in the case of mob violence) to an appreciation of the State in the large, to the preservation of the ideals of the whole country. In all these efforts we have failed because we have been talking the language of men to the minds of children; we have set nation-wide problems before infants who cannot yet see over their backyard fences. It is possible that lawmakers who do not know the difference between socialism and sociology, who do not know enough current history to know that Paderewski is ex-premier of Poland, not Russia, and is a pianist and not a singer can have the faintest conception of justice, morality and fairness? Can they be expected to see the desirability of books, education and culture? No, of course not. The South needs a corps of governesses to teach it its A-B-C's. FROM THE NATION The story of the system of farming out county prisoners in Florida does not make pretty reading. It is the old, old story of sentences for such trivial offenses as stealing rides on freight trains been worked off by forced labor under contractors who buy convict labor cheap and maintain discipline by whipping, sometimes with six or seven pound straps. The men are herded in camps reeking with filth and disease, are sometimes forced to work for hours hip-deep in swamps, and have virtually no medical care. The sheriff receives a cash bonus for each man he is able to send to the contractor. This is slavery; but Florida has caught the country's attention through the death of Martin Tabert, a North Dakota boy—chiefly because he is a white boy. Black men have gone to unrecorded death in these chain gangs for decades. In Roosevelt's time there were shocking revelations of the horrors of peonage in the lower South, and attempt at remedy. But the evil has lived on. Two years ago where Williams murdered eleven Negroes on his Georgia plantation there came a new outburst of protest. SPINGARN MEDALIST (Chicago Whip.) They are now proposing men for the Spingarn Medal which is given each year to the black man who makes the most notable achievement among his people. It is hoped that the Judges will not be prejudiced and biased and will select a man who has really accomplished something that is worth while. Heretofore, there has been a leaning toward a class of individuals who have gained popular favor but have not achieved anything of lasting importance. We suggest Carter G. Woodson, whose comprehensive history of the colored man is a master stroke. Every organization, club and representative of opinion in the city has been invited to participate in a conference on local community conditions—except the oldest established colored newspaper in the Northwest. But then a newspaper is not supposed to have an opinion or to know as much about community affairs as say, a business league, is it? New York organizations are preparing for the influx from the South. The twin cities will receive no such numbers as New York, but the necessity for preparation is none the less urgent. Will a house have to fall on the local churches and other organizations before they will take action in this matter? The "reformers" are making a great howl in Chicago. They are a lot of hypocrites who are not looking for vice itself. Practically all of their efforts have been directed against places where white and colored people assemble to drink booze and dance. AMERICANS AID HAITI PROGRESS AMERICANS AID HAITI PROGRESS Navy Officers Report on Work Accomplished in 1922 as Showing Success. Port-au-Prince, Haiti.—The technical skill, the energy, the intelligence and the hard work of certain officers of the navy, all are being expanded in the imminent course of the island of Haiti and its people. And the year 1922 was one of peace and progress. Much was accomplished, and the work is still going on under American leadership. The Americans are teaching the Haitians to help themselves; they are endowing to train the Haitian personnel so that they may eventually displace all foreigners in island administration. Co-operation between the two elements, to this end, undoubtedly is making headway. Early this year the American heads of departments made reports on the results of their labor in 1922 to John H. Russell, the American high commissioner for Haiti, covering activities in the sanitary service, in fire protection, in police work, in public works such as irrigation, road building, and recreations, in the better lighting of the coasts of Haiti, and in increased sluming. Epidemics Checked. The so-called prison disease, which in the old regime claimed 1,300 out of an average of 2,000 prisoners, has been reduced to the vanishing point. In 1922 the percentage of deaths in the prisons was 017. The death rate of the gendarmes, numbering 2,414 Haitians, fell to the rate of 5.11 per thousand. The completion of the intensive campaign against smallpox assures the prevention of its spread for several years, and the recent severe epidemic of cholera, a form of bacillus dysentery, has been largely wiped out. That the Haitians are responding in greatly increased number to the free opportunities of American surgical and medical treatment is evinced by the fact that in the year 23,318 applied for treatment, as compared to 7,808 for the preceding year. Five free dispensaries were opened in-interior sections where medical facilities were nonexistent for a radius of several miles. The gendarmes have been enca- aged in field and track sports, basket ball, baseball, soccer and boxing, to their physical improvement. Rifle Practice Taught. All gendarmes, in addition to their military training, are receiving a free grammar school course that has encouraged enlistment and caused favorable comment among the Haitians. For the first time in its history every man in the gendarmerie has been then only instructed in rifle practice, and the contests held have developed marksmanship of a surprisingly high quality. The regulation of all vehicle traffic and the registration of foreigners were assumed by the gendarmerie in the closing months of the year. Port-au-Prince is now protected against disastrous fires through the recent completion of a salt water high pressure system. The equipment of the capital's fire fighting forces now comprises two modern chemical and equipment motor trucks and a recently acquired American horse-drawn engine in which the firemen, resplendent in crimson shirts and shining, brass helmets, race to the fires. The department of public works has operated irrigation service in three of the leading plains where agriculture in almost wholly dependent upon irrigation, made preliminary investigations of other needed irrigation projects, and determined that fully 100,000 acres of at present unproductive land in the great plain of the Aribonite are capable of irrigation. Road Construction Spreads Work has begun on a 15-mile stretch of road that, when completed, will cut the present time of travel by auto mobile between the capitals of Haiti and Santo Domingo from three days to one. The new road will run from Las Cahobas to Commendador on the Santo Domingo border. There are today 900 kilometers of road in operation throughout the republic. Forty bridges will be erected at inland points where traffic has been impossible in the rainy seasons. A two-year program for new road construction has been approved. Port-au-Prince now has a new au tomatic telephone system which will be extended to care for 800 subscribers. Pole lines for a distance of 1,500 kilometers were maintained in 1923 for Haitian telegraph service. The figures for last year show that telegraph traffic increased 26 per cent and the telephone traffic doubled. The lowered cost of operation and maintenance was 17 per cent. Four new automatic flashing acetylene type of lighthouses, with a visitability of 16 miles, have been placed in commission in the past year. These additions to the lighting of Haithi thousand-mile coastline, formerly regarded by seafaring men as the most dangerous stretch of coast in the West Indies, have given Haithi eight excellent lights. Sixty Raw Eggs One Meal. Winsted, Conn.-Sixty raw eggs just about satisfied Moono Gangi when he went into a café for a meal. Then Gangi had to set two big sandwiches to settle his stomach. James Casey lost a wager as the last egg slipped down and paid for the meal. Prof. Edwin L. Clarke, a professor in Ohio University, has introduced in the department of sociology a course in "eliminating prejudice." All sorts of prejudices are studied—religious, national, racial, occupational and political. One result of the course has been the formation of the Ohio Student Interracial Conference, for the promotion of better understanding between while and colored students. BLOCKING THE WAY THOSE apostles of laxity who can never find time to do anything as it ought to be done, go crookely through life complaining in their semi-serious moments that they are lagging leagues behind their rivals and never getting anywhere. They admit this without any apparent sense of shame or compunction of conscience. Sometimes to their intimates of like lik, they boast of their short-comings in a spirit of bravado. A laziness that distinguishes them from what they disdainfully term the "common class," to whom they will scarcely nor a courteous good morning; seem in their minds to put them upon a worshipful pedestal. Daily they go about their task in a slipshod manner, shunning responsibility a hen avoids a pool of water. Everything they do is half done. Careless in observing how the proficient save time and energy, and thus make-wake a pleasure instead of a drag, these listless persons are always in trouble, scowling and finding fault, even when everything about them is cheerful. Their desks or benches are continually in confusion, quite in keeping with their unmethodical minds. When urgently needed no paper or tool is within sight or reach. It is generally hidden somewhere in a disordered heap. Precious minutes are lost while searching for the elusive thing, and should the task of finding it happen to be more vexations than usual, some innocent low-worker is openly with piling. Then a storm breaks and the atmosphere is surcharged with anger, which in the customary slowness of cooling off is likely to leave the principals for days and days in sulky humors. Persons of this character are doomed to fall in everything they undertake, except in the making of quarrels and the wrecking of friendships. Blameful themselves, they pile their sins on the blameless. Wherever they are found there is turmoil, inefficiency, disloyalty and unhappiness, four danger signals which block the way in every track of endeavor to promotion to the higher ranks.

SOMETHING TO EAT IF YOU have a small amount of left over rice stir it into the muffin or griddle cake batter for breakfast. Prune Pie. Take two cupfuls of cooked prunes, one teaspoonful of cinnamon, one fourth of a cupful of sugar and one tablespoonful of butter. Soften the prunes in water over night, stew until soft, then remove the pits and add to the other ingredients. Put into a bowl with a little oil and butter, cover with a top crust and bake in a quick oven. Brush over the crust with milk just before putting the pits in the oven. This will give a rich brown crust when baked. Chocolate Macaroons Melt two squares of chocolate, mix with one can of condensed milk. Add one-half pound, of shredded coconut mix thoroughly and add one teaspoonful of vanilla. Drop on greased baked sheets, one teaspoonful at a time one inch apart. Bake in a moderate oven until nicely browned. Coconut Balls Take one tablespoonful of condensed milk, or the same of honey, one and one-quarter cups of shredded coconut, four tablespoons of chopped raisins and one-half cupful of chopped walnut meats. Mix and shape into balls the size of marbles, roll in coconut. Cabbage Salad. Make a mixture of faintly-shredded cabbage, green peppers and olives. Remove the stones from the olives; to one small cabbage use one green pepper, seeds and white fiber removed, and one capful of chopped olives. Molten with a rich, highly-seasoned boiled dressing or a mayonnaise. Fill lemon halves with the mixture and serve with oysters. Shredded lettuce added to cream cheese well-seasoned and sprinkled thickly with currants makes a tasty salad to serve with bread and butter for Sunday night lunch. Cottage cheese to which two or more tablespoonfuls of boiled dressing is added serves on lettuce with a mayonnaise dressing, is another simple and easy way to prepare salad.

Promotes Racial Understanding. The Church Federation of Indianapolis has appointed an interracial committee of leading white and colored citizens, who meet at intervals, confer frankly and plan for the promotion of harmonious race relations. The Federation has been earnestly studying these questions, and in the interest of better understanding has created a number of colored leaders to present the colored man's viewpoint before it. University of Pennsylvania Is Sharing in Antiquary Research With Four Parties. Philadelphia, Pa.—The University of Pennsylvania's Egyptian expedition, which has been delving into buried history at the entrance of the Valley of the Kings, where the tomb of Tuthmos recently found, is preparing to move to cooler climate to continue searching for blots of information relating to the activities of men in past ages. The university is now conducting four expeditions. One is in the Valley of the Kings, another at Memphis, which was the oldest capital of Egypt; a third in Palestine, and another in Babylon's, where in connection with the expedition of the British museum, an ancient temple believed to have been built 3,000 years before the founding of the city, was the neocentric of the finding of this temple was recently made. Inscriptions were found showing that King Nebuchadnezzar repaired the place during his reign in the Sixth century, B. C. Excavation Work Continuous. The university has arranged the work of her excavators so that when the hot weather season comes in one place they move to another, assuring almost continuous effort. The work now coming to a close is at Thebes in an area adjoining the concession of Lord Carnarvon. During the two seasons of digging at Thebes several tombs have been discovered constructed in the same way as that of Tut-Ankh-Amen, but all of them open and looted. The objects found in each were not of interest to robbers, such as canopic jars, ushabis, inscriptions and papyr. In the last named class of objects a really notable discovery was made at the close of last season, when two sealed pottery cylinders were found within the entrance chamber of a tomb, which contained rolls of papyril. These were in a perfect state of preservation. On the outside of each roll was a document written in ancient Greek, and upon examination the papyril proved to be Demotic documents dating from 318 B. C. to 265 B. C. They are mostly contracts, and contain the business transactions of a family during the period of years when the tomb was translated in the university museum. All of the tombs discovered on the museum's concession were of officials of the government of Thebes who wished to be buried near the kings, and whose tombs are, therefore, found in close proximity to the royal resting places. At the same time that the university museum is working this concession at Thebes it is also excavating at Memphis, 14 miles above Cairo, where the museum expedition discovered several years ago the royal palace of Merenptah, an extensive structure covering a large area, and in it are the tombs of the king of this temple are found 25 feet below the surface of the ground. The lower walls, and sometimes doorways and parts of columns, are found standing. Tut's Father-In-Law. One of the interesting discoveries made at this place is the head of a life-size statue of Akhnaton, the father-in-law of Tut-Akhn-Amen. The features are exquisitely modelled and the sensitive face is rendered in a wonderful lifelike manner. The throne room of the Morenptah palace, especially the dais shows rich sculpture and elaborate use of color. The ornaments and hieroglyphic inscriptions on the columns, and the stonework surrounding the doorways, are inlaid with beautiful pale fayence. Surrounding the throne room are dressing rooms, retiring rooms, and a bathroom, which originally had running water. Excavation here is still in progress, and its completion is expected to throw much light on the domestic and official life of the Phrahsos. Memphis was the capital of Egypt from the earliest times down to about 2,000 B.C. Then the Pharaohs moved their capital south to the Thebes, which arose to great splendor. Herodotus referred to the hundred gates of Thebes. This city remained the capital until Alexander the Great founded the new capital at Alexandria, except for that brief interval when Akhnaton built this new capital at Tel-el-Amarna in order that he might start everything in Egypt afresh; religion, art, architecture and government. His interesting experiment lasted for about a generation, or until Tut-Ankh-Amen restored the old religion, reversed the policy of father-in-law, changed his name from Tut-Ankh-Aton to Tut-Ankh-Amen as a symbol of his reversion, and went back to Thebes as the seat of his government. Merenptah, who is regarded by most authorities as the Pharaoh of the Exodus, reigned 1225 B. C., or about 125 years before Tut-Ankh-Amen. Loss Royal Rank on Marriage. Tokyo—Prince Kunhisa Kunl, the elder brother of Princess Nagaku Kunl, bride-elect of the prince regent, is engaged to Miss Kanko Shimazu, sixteen years old, a sister of Prince Shimazu. Prince Kunl is to descend to the rank of a subject with the title of marquis. He is twenty-two years old and is studying in the military academy. THE LIGHT OF WESTERN STARS by Zane Grey OUT under the wonderful western stars, near the turbulent Mexican border of the present day, most of the action in this thrilling story takes place. While replete with the atmosphere, romance, exciting events and human elements so characteristic of its author's work, it strikes a note that is different from the average of western fiction; indeed, it is quite different from any of Zane Grey's other stories and has been acclaimed in various quarters as the best he has yet written.

Chicégo.—America, as well as far away Egypt has its “Putankhamen’s tomb. « ‘This ruin, which if not so spectacular or romantic as the discoveries recent- ly made in the East by Howatd Car ter and Lord Carnarvon, has an equal- ly great historical importance ‘in fur- nishing relics of an ancient people and giving tangible proofs of thelr civiliza tion. - # On the right bank of the Rio de las Animas Perditas—the River of Lost Souls—in New Mexico, is heaped the ruin of a prehistoric apartment house, the communal dwelling of am un- named Indian tribe, probably the direct ancestors of the Hopt Indians of the Present day. Excavation of this ruin for years has formed the most exten- sive scientific undertaking of its kind im the country. As yet it has_only been partially explored and scientists hope that farther examination will re- veal the history of the West as it was more than ten centuries ago. ‘Name Is a Misnomer, Its name, Aztec, given by early ex- plorers who thought the ruin a relic of the Aztecs of Mexico, Is a mis- nomer. The people which it designates are a vanished race, and though their name is unknown, anthropologists are confident that they represented the flower of prehistoric Indian culture. According to Dr. R. Linton, assistant curator of the anthropological depart- ment of the Field museum, these In- dians, living In the United States 1,000 years ago, were even then heirs to a culture 8,000 years old. Doctor Linton, who has worked in Aztec ruin, gives the following descrip- ton: “The pueblo is rectangular, with a court and kivas (underground cere- monial rooms) in the inner quadrangle. The outside walls made, from quar- ried stone, were perhaps four stories high and from three to six feet thick. Oarefully_cut timber formed the cell- ings, some of which are still in ex- cellent condition. Although openings in the upper stories were plentiful, the ground floor rooms had none be- cause of the fear of an enemy. Yucca leaf ladders furnished access to the higher stories, and when these were withdrawn the tribal home became impregnable to outside attack. Grouped for Safety. “It was probably this fear of a com- mon enemy that drew the prehistoric pueblo dwellers together and forced them to live in a community, rather than as separate families. Apparently their homes were built and occupied in common and their irrigation system and agricultural activities common en- terprises. “Their government evidently was semi-republican. We have nothing to show that any North American Indians ever developed a monarchistic form of government. In this they differ greatly from the Egyptians and other ancient peoples. The tombs which have given us so much of our knowl- edge of ancient Egypt are the sepul- chers of kings built by slaves; while the pueblos were constructed by a peo- ple drawn together through a common need for protection.” Differ From Egypt's Relics. Doctor Linton pointed out the dif- ference in the quality of the treasures which investigators are finding in the ruins of the American aborigines and in the tombs of old Hgypt’s Pharaohs. ‘Those found at Luxor include many precious stones and metals, Seashell necklaces, calcite and quarts fashioned into beads, turquoise beads and little frog effigies, carved gypsum and lime- stone, beaver tooth pendants and gil- sonite earrings form the only spoils discovered in the debris-filled Indian ruins. ‘Discovery in Egypt of preserved foodstuffs which even after centuries are still edible is paralleled by the prehistoric corn fodder, taken from the Indian ruins, from which a 1022 mule made a satisfactory meal. ‘The great heap of corn husks was quite soft and much of the fodder as green as if it had been placed there only a few days before. The dry alr of New Mexico has served the same purpose as the elaborate embalming ‘agents employed by the ingenious Heyptians. Had No Metal. Again, unllke the people of Bgypt, the Indian had no metal. A small ¢op per bell, supposed to have been traded ‘m from the Mexico tribe, is the sole | piece of metal found in’ the Indian haoitations. All of their tools were'¢! ‘wood, bone or stone. No skeletons of beasts of burden have been found. Con- sidering the fact that the stone quar ries were five miles distant and the forests even further away the artistic eulture of these prehistoric redmen ig surprising. In artistry and handt- erafts they excelled the cliff dwellers, ‘who are usually thought to have lived | im a mucti tater period. ' “Comparison with, the Bgyptians, said Doctor Linton, “recalls the Mays | Tndians: of southern.

Had a Caléndar. “They had divided time into years and had a calendar. Besides this they deyeloped their own system of mythology, and elaborated theories as to the shape and size of the earth, the Immortality of the soul and the existence of a creator. Their pollt- ical organization, too, was centuries in advance of other Indian civic de velopment. The Mayas lived in. cities instead of being contented with a nomadic existence, “Years before the time of the Span- ish Invasion this civilization began to disintegrate, and when the com quistadors arrived on the new con- Sinent they found only, the remnants of a once magnificently cultured race.” Investigation of the relics left by the Mayas ts still being made by anthro- Ppologists in the hope that they may find the code to thelr written lan- guage. At present S. G, Morley of the Carnegie -foundation {s following the work up in Central America. Hari H. Morris of the American Museum of Natural History is continuing the work in the New Mexico pueblo ruins which he started in, 1916. And so while lacking perhaps the gomantic appeal of King 'Tutankh- men’s tomb, these American symbols of the races are none the less important historically or of no less significance to the anthropologist.

CITATION FOR HEARING ON PETITION FOR ADMINISTRATION STATE OF MINNESOTA, COUNTY OF Ramsey, ss. in Probate Court. In the number of the estate of Mary E. Lois A Here's one of the queerest of all members of the monkey family, the long-nosed monkey of Borneo. This specimen is alike in every aspect to the average or common variety of monkey, except for the extremely long nose. Scottish Laborites Bar Hobnobbing With King London.—The dour Scots of the labor party in the house of commons have sternly denounced participation in any royal functions. Most of them signed a declaration they would accept no invitations to such affairs "when there is so much unemployment" in their constituencies. Only about a half dozen withheld their signatures. The English members of the party were not asked to sign, but it is understood they are about equally divided on the question. When the subject was first discussed by the party a short time ago it was decided, by a vote of 38 to 37, that the liberty of individual members should not be restricted, but that the party itself would not accept such invitations. It is now said the matter has been reconsidered, but that the party's policy has not been announced. Bride's Reply at Altar Is Bullet in Her Head Geneva.—News of a pathetic tragedy comes from Lindar, a small island in Lake Constance, where pretty Fraunel Moser, twenty-one years old, shot herself before the church altar rather than wed a wealthy man twice her age. When the priest asked the usual question whether she accepted the man as her husband, the bride replied, "No, no! I love another. My parents know this—I would rather die first!" With these words she drew a small revolver from beneath her bridal bouquet and shot herself through the head, falling unconscious at the feet of the priest, and dying within a few moments. Scientists Find Use for Macerated Bills Washington, D.C.-Government scientists are working with success in their efforts to retain the paper in the millions of dollars in worn and unfit United States paper currency, which is cut up and pulped every day by the treasury. By a de-inking process they are now getting a fairly clean product in reclaiming the paper, and it is believed the economy will be important, even if the result can be used only for wrapping paper, inasmuch as two or three tons of paper currency is macerated at the treasury every day. The bills destroyed are those beyond cleaning by the treasury's laundry, which daily washes and irons thousands of bills. Palace Started by Diaz Now to Be Completed Mexico City.—The legislative palace, the construction of which was started at the end of the Diaz administration, and which for years has stood a prey to the elements, is to be completed, it is said in official circles. The huge structure is not to house both branches of congress, as was the original intention, but will be converted into a "home for national heroes," where will rest the remains of the distinguished departed. It will be made one of the show places of the city. Australia Welcomes Ex-Officers Melbourne.—What may grow into a movement for settling retired British officers of the Indian army in Australia was begun recently with the arrival of 60 such officers in Victoria. They brought with them funds aggregating $1,000,000. "Canned Heat" Kills Coal Miner James Puckett, coal miner, of Litchfield, Ill., was killed by chewing "canned heat," according to a coroner's jury verdict. "Canned heat" is a commercial product which contains alcohol and is put up in the form of paste for campfire cooking. It was testified that Puckett and ten other men went to an old cave, where Puckett's body was found later, for a "party," and that Puckett chewed too much "heat."
