Washington.—A hundred years or more ago the empress of China, by imperial edict, declared it selfish for human beings to drink cows' milk. The august old lady thought it deprived calves of their natural food. Thus without knowing it, perhaps, she created a dietary regime for Chinese children from which they are only now about to be released. About a decade ago the Chinese began to take notice of the use of milk by missionaries and, in the vicinity of the mission stations, began using their own cows and water buffalo as food sources. Once started on a milk diet, the trend has been growing by leaps and bounds. Importations of condensed milk, milk powders and the sale of ice cream in the foreign colonies of the large cities have turned the attention of the Chinese to milk drinking habits and they have now begun to study the benefits that might come to their children if the old empress had not issued the edict. America with its billions of dollars invested in dairy cattle and products and machinery factories is looking to China as a big outlet, and its hopes are about to be realized, according to the World's Dairy Congress association. A type of letter being received from the Far East by the association has just arrived from Ellwood Varney, an American, milk expert of the Liberty dairy at Shanghai. "There is no better opportunity in the world, than right here in China," writes Mr. Varney in a plea for aid in getting American dairy school men to the Orient. "The kind of men wanted are the sort who are as much interested in the future of dairying as they are in fattening their own pocketbooks. We do not want the self-seeker. We want the doer and the giver and he will find himself richly rewarded." Mr. Varney's chief, Mr. Yee, owner of the Liberty dairy at Shanghai, a Cornell university graduate, is going to attend the World Dairy congress in Washington in October. He is going to take back to China with him a large number of purebred dairy cattle to establish breeding stations similar to the horse-breeding stations established in the United States by the government. 386 NORTH ST ALBANS ST ST PAUL MINN DEFENDER STATEMENT ABSOLUTELY FALSE AND MISLEADING EXACT TEXT FOLLOWS Man Lynched By Columbia, Mo. Mob Believed To Have Been Innocent Janitor Hung April 29 Before University of Missouri Students Was Wrong Man, Knew Nothing of Crime, Authorities Find: Hold Another Prisoner. (Argus Service.) Columbia, Md., July 12.—It is now believed, practically certain that James T. Scott, the colored man lynched here on April 29, was innocent of the alleged crime of attempt to rape. The rumor that authorities had reached that conclusion spread like wildfire when Regina Almstedt, the girl who previously identified Scott, was taken to Mexico today to look at Ollie Watson, another colored man there. He is being held on a charge of an assault on a colored girl here and has taken a change of venue to Mexico. The authorities are very quiet on the outcome of the trip to see Watson. Shortly after Scott's arrest Watson was also taken into custody by the police on the complaint of a colored girl that he had brutally assaulted her. The incident she alleged ante-dated the attempted assault upon the Almstedt girl.

In fact, the U. N. I. A. president general is quoted as attributing his present condition to the machinations of enemies of his own race. He said he would never give up striving for a black Utopia in Africa, and that although the Black Star Line was defunct, a new company would be organized to take American colored people to Africa. "In the event your appeal fails," asked the reporter, "will you continue the work of the Universal Negro Improvement Association?" "Yes, indeed," replied Garvey. "A colored nation in Africa is absolutely necessary. In another century the white race will have crowded out the colored man. He must have a country of his own. "Most of my troubles are the result of the efforts of my opponents of the colored race. These are the light colored people who think the colored man can always develop in this country. They also resent the fact that I, a black man, am a leader." "Then there are the colored politicians who also resent my leadership. The Universal Negro Improvement Association has 700 branches throughout the world 500 of which, with a membership of 2,500,000, are in this country. It is as a leader of these that my power is feared." NELSON RICKS DIES AT IOWA CITY HOME Nelson Ricks, who died at his home in Iowa City, Iowa, July 8, was well known in the Twin Cities. Mr. Ricks attended the University Farm school and later graduated from the college of agriculture at the University of Minnesota.

After leaving the university, Mr. Ricks taught agriculture at Tuskegee Institute During the war he was in the government service-as a grain inspector TEXAS LYNCHES MAN ACCUSED BY GIRI Schulenberg, Tex., July 12—Two hundred "best people" of Fayette Colorado and La Vaca counties late yesterday took Jesse, Bullock, 23-year-old colored boy, from the city jail and hanged him from a tree on Main street, after a 14-year-old white girl had identified him as her assailant.

Alabama is one of the few remaining states in the Union which leases its prisoners out to private companies. The state has about 3,000 prisoners, of whom about 1,400 are leased out to coal companies and about 200 to lumber companies, while the rest are kept in the prisons at Speigner, Kilby and Wetumka. Needless to say, most of the prisoners leased out are colored convicts, many of whom have been picked up on the most trivial charges and given harsh sentences in Alabama's courts of "justice."

On the night of April 29, when the mob was attempting to break into the prison to get Scott, he called to the members of the mob that he was innocent of the crime and that Watson, his cellmate, had confessed to him that he was the guilty one. No credence was given to the plea at that time by the mob, or again when he repeated it before he was thrown off the bridge later in the night. Scott was married and had a family. Watson is unmarried. Another circumstance which was not weighed in Scott's favor by the residents of Columbia who participated in the mob was the fact, brought out in the preliminary hearing, that he was seen in the Medical building at 3 o'clock on the afternoon of the crime wearing white clothes. The trial of the men indicted for the lynching of Scott will be called in Columbia Monday morning. DYER BILL PLACED FIRST ON CALENDER New Bill Is Slightly Modified; Sponsor Expects Hard Fight Washington, July 12,—Hon. L. C. Dyer of St. Louis, has received permission from the clerk of the house of representatives to have the antilynching bill which he will introduce in the 68th congress, given No. 1, thus assuring early action on the measure. The new bill as drawn by Mr. Dyer is very much the same as the one which died in the senate of the 67th congress; only a few changes were thought necessary. Mr. Dyer is quite hopeful of the success of the new bill, as he has the promise of its passage at the next session of congress. He said however, that it will be necessary for a more vigorous fight to be made on the part of the public to assure success. Speaking of the new bill, Mr. Dyer said: "The fight this time will be even harder than before. I have toured the country in the interest of this bill trying the best I could to arouse the Christian and God-fearing people to the importance of such legislation that lynching may be blotted this year by our troops. The churches and all lovers of the law and justice should demand that the congress of the United States speedily pass adequate laws to protect citizens from mob violence." N. A. A. C. P.

Mayor Stapleton of Denver granted a permit for the meeting, but the commissioner of public safety, after he had been called on by a delegation from the N. A. A. C. P., ordered the meeting called off. The N. A. A. C. P. delegation was composed of Geo. W. Gross, president of the Denver branch; George Ross, editor of the Denver Star; Henry Smith, Emmett Williams and A. H. W. Ross.

Paris, July 12.—An incident in which four white American tourists refused to make a char-a-banc excursion through Paris because the vehicle contained 12 colored soldiers is taken up this morning in a two-column leading article in the Petit Bleu. The French newspaper demands that tourist agencies insist that their patrons respect, the customs of the country in which they are vacationing and tells the American barbarians that France is not the United States where human beings are jim-crowed, insulted and degraded because of their color.

Birmingham, Ala., July 12.—Out of every 80 convicts sent to work in the privately owned coal mines of Alabama one man loses his life each year. To one out of every 80 men sentenced to prison terms in this state the words spoken by the judge are equivalent to: "I sentence you to death in the mines." Goaded to Limit. It has also been brought out that while the lash has been abolished by executive order in 1919, wooden clubs, metal pipes and other weapons have been substituted. The worst punishment of all, however, is the "dog house," a coffin-like box or enclosure, so small that man cannot move inside it, in which convicts are fastened by their hands, their feet scarcely touching the floor. The prisoner, investigators were told, was appended in the "dog house" for having defied a guard and kept there so many hours that his flesh puffed through the laces and eyelets of his shoes, the shoes having to be cut away before they could be taken from his feet. Victims Fill Hospital. But it is within the hospital of Kilby prison that one sees the final class of Alabama's convict slaves. This class is made up of convicts who have gone to the mines and who can never work again. It is on conditions like these that the searchlight of publicity has at last been turned with the promise that, as in the case of the state of Florida, Alabama will be forced by outside public opinion to clean house. Sterling Club Names Graduates Who Were Omitted On Program Through an oversight on the part of the program committee for the Sterling club testimonial to the graduates, the names of Miss Muriel Alexander, Miss Beulah Stephens and Mr. George Lark were omitted from the program. Miss Alexander, who is the daughter of the president of the Sterling club, is the first colored graduate of the Minneapolis School of Art, where she specialized in interior decorating and won a prize in the event of work Miss Stephens is a graduate of the University Farm school in the March, 1923, class. Mr. Lark is receiving an additional degree from the college of pharmacy at the University of Minnesota, bachelor of science in pharmacy. He has accepted a position as instructor in pharmacy at Meharry Medical College at Nashville for 1923-24. UNION BIDS FOR GARMENT WORKERS Baltimore, July 12.—The Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, a militant labor organization that has always acted fairly toward colored workers in the clothing industries and tried to organize them for their own protection, is making strenuous efforts to organize the colored employees of W.

Editor, Is Veteran Fighter For Race Venerable Editor of "Voice of Missions" Has Stood Unflinchingly for Rights of His People; Candidate for Missions Post By J. A. ROGERS Special Reporter for K. N. F. Service. Dr. R. R. Downs, D. D., editor of "The Voice of Missions," organ of the A. M. E. church, is a veteran in the cause of the advancement of his race. Born in Vicksburg, Miss., during the days of slavery, he has labored long, faithfully and intelligently throughout the passing decades. During the stirring times of the Reconstruction period, when it was much more dangerous than now to oppose disfranchisement, segregation and injustice, he stood up unflinchingly for the rights of his people at all times, and once narrowly escaped the lynchers' mob in Columbia, Ga., because of his views on colored man's education. Dr. Downs entered the A. M. E. church in 1880, and has been in constant service ever since. He has filled many pulpits in various parts of the United States, having served, among other places, in Atlanta, Ga.; Savannah, Ga.; Columbus, Ga.; Lima, O., and Columbus, O. Several churches have owed their erection to his inspiration and energy, among which is the splendid A. M. E. edifice in Lima. He has served as presiding elder in the Savannah and other districts and has long been a familiar figure at the national conferences, where he speaks on behalf of missionary work. Today he still stands pre-eminently one of the leading ministers of "the A. M. E. church Like most men who have served well and nobly, Dr. Downs is very reticent on the subject of his accomplishments. Quiet and unassuming to a degree, it is evident that he believes in doing his duty, and doing it without display. He is the recipient of many letters of congratulation for the excellent manner in which he did his work. Among the number is one from the editor of the Christian Recorder, R. R. Wright, Jr. who said: "I congratulate you upon your appointment to the missionary department. I am sure it is a good one and that the work will be taken care of by a religious as well as a consecrated man." Dr. Downs is a firm believer in practical Christianity. "I believe," he said, "in the common origin of mankind—in a common humanity. Of one blood God made all the races of the earth. I believe in practical religion—in the kind of religion that will create a better and kindler understanding among men of all creeds, color and classes; not the kind of religion that is a mere display of the emotions." Serving at a Sacrifice. At the present time Dr. Downs is serving at a personal sacrifice. He is filling the position because of the illness of the Rev. J. W. Rankin, D. D., who has been suffering for some time from a nervous breakdown and overwork. Dr. Downs hopes to be elected permanently to the position of the secretary of missions, includes, also, that of the editorship of "The Voice of Missions," at the 1924 general conference, to be held at Lousville, Kv. He is one of the outstanding candidates. "I am no stranger to the readers of our church periodicals," he said. "For many years I have been associate editor and a regular contributor to 'The Voice of Missions' without pay. "I can do the work. The work to me is as play, and it is as play because I like the work. "I am not making a claim for honors; but I would be happy to be thus honored by the church next May at Lousville, Ky. There is no greater office in the church for service, and I wish to be in a position where I can at all times render the maximum services to the Church of God and my people." Dr. Downs, who, with Mrs. Downs, is a resident of this city, has reared a large family. Six of his children, all of whom are married, are living. KLAN CANT ESCAPE N. Y. LAW, SAYS SPONSOR Albany, N. Y., July 12.—Shattering the Ku Klux Klan's contention that it has escaped criminal prosecution under the Walker law by having incorporated for "benevolent purposes," William F. McCormack, expert broughsman, who drew the Walker law, yesterday gave out a statement that the Klan can be prosecuted whether it is incorporated or not. "The section of the benevolent orders law," said Mr. McCormack, "under which the Klan incorporated applied only to subordinate lodges of those actually named in the law, wherein the Klan's name does not appear."

SEEING THROUGH METAL IS HAILED AS MIRACLE Savants Are Baffled by Latest Achievement. Says Report. London.—A story comes from Madrid through the newspaper Imparelal of the two sons of a Spanish nobleman who can see through metal. Of course, one says at once that it is absurd and increditable. Perhaps it was after dinner, when sight sometimes plays us strange tricks. I am not one who is likely to accept such tales readily. Nevertheless, it is quite possible that we have not yet reached the limits of knowledge as to the way in which many sensations may be transmitted. The apparently miraculous reports of some who have been deaf from birth hearing messages broadcast by wireless should make the unalterably skeptical pause and think. The discovery of a ray that would penetrate opaque bodies was an eye opener which, when first reported, caused much derisive scoffing. Today its use is a matter of routine. May there not be other subtle, intangible, and as yet undiscovered means by which emotions and thoughts are transmitted from one person to another—means that are independent of our known senses? Let the skeptical reader consider a few well-established facts of common experience. How does a dog know when you are afraid of it, though you betray no signs of fear obvious to man? It has been suggested that the character of the sweat changes and the dog, with its wonderful olfactory brain, can detect this. I do not know how the dog knows: but he does know. How does personality make itself felt, as it notoriously does? The old idea, long since discarded, was the existence of animal magnetism. It has been suggested that an invisible, intangible aura, or shadow, surrounds everyone, each aura transmitting and receiving emotions and feelings. A theory again. Still there is something about personality that appears to display itself beyond the known senses of man. How does the hypnotist influence his subject? We do not believe in hypnotic rays; the subject is now supposed to be the main factor in hypnotism. But this does not carry absolute conviction to my mind. I fancy we have not yet got to the bottom of these things. We may be on the verge of lifting the vell that hides much that is unknown. $2.00 PER YEAR EGEE LIVES OF COLORED HOSPITAL STAFF SOUGHT BY MOBS N. A. A. C. P. Asks President to Send Federal Troops to School KLAN MAKES THREAT Protection for Moton and Staff Requested as Klan Grows New York, July 12—In a telegram to President Harding on his way to Alaska, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People on July 5, asked that federal troops be sent to Tuskegee, Ala., to protect the colored staff of doctors and nurses caring for colored war veterans in the hospital there. This action followed threats by the Ku Klux Klan of Alabama against the colored hospital staff. The telegram reads as follows: "National Association for Advancement of Colored People representing 100,000 American citizens, asks that federal troops be sent to Tuskegee, Ala., to protect colored doctors sent to United States Veterans' hospital to care for colored World War veterans. Lives of these United States doctors and security of Tuskegee Institute have been threatened by masked mobs. Tuskegee Institute as an internationally known agency making for inter-racial good will, should have protection against lawless defiance of government. We urge especially federal protection for R. R. Moton, successor to Booker T. Washington, whose life has been threatened." JAMES WELDON JOHNSON Colored Scouts Take Honors At Square Lake in Events Gathering in six second-class badges, a first-class badge, two merit badges and 17 first places in the camp athletic meet, eight boys from Troop 55 left an indelible impression on the Boy Scout camp at Square lake last week. This year was the first one in which any colored troop has been represented at the camp. Heretofore there have been individual colored scouts who have been members of white troops. Harold Carr, son of Rev. and Mrs. T. Carr, passed the tests which made him a first-class scout and in addition won two merit badges, one for bird study and one for life saving. The boys who attended the camp were John Kelley, Jr., Leroy Lazenberry, Ronald Bradshaw, Stanley Bradshaw, Ashton Green, Harold Carr, Clifford Fox and George Brooks. Six of these passed their second-class tests. Troop 55 has been organized only six months. Argentina Hears of Ring Fight by Radio New York.—For the first time in history Argentina was joined with New York by radio when the high-power station radio central at Rocky Point, Long Island, transmitted a complete description of a prize fight, round by round, direct from the ringside at Madison Square garden. Returns were received an instant later in the homes of South Americans within hearing distance of the local broadcast station there. No previous attempt had been made to intentionally furnish South America with a radio service, especially of a character which involves a definite schedule, as in the case of the recent demonstration. Minutes were as precious as hours to the anxious listeners located over 6,000 miles from the scene; yet only a fraction of a minute was required to have the reports of each round in the hands of fight fans in Argentina. The station of the Radio Corporation of America, on Long Island, which ordinarily communicates with points in Europe, was connected by land wires to an instrument at the ringside where an announcer was stationed. Immediately upon getting the returns they were telephoned to the Broad street operator, who transcribed them into dots and dashes, then flashed them to Argentina. Reports from Argentina states that the demonstration was highly successful. J. Q. Adams ..... Editor-in-Chief Roy Wilkins ..... Managing Editor Odell D. Smith .....

Just off the campus of the University of Missouri, on April 29, men students and co-eds, the "fair daughters of Missouri," looked on the lynchings of James Scott and wiped out the last vestige of the black man's faith in the white man's education as an agent of civilization. The White Church of America prates of Brotherly Love and urges the redemption of "benighted China and Africa" in the name of Him who labored and died that the Kingdom of Heaven might come to men, and with each mouthing brands itself in black eyes as the most colossal superstructure of hypocrisy that has ever been reared by man. In the Senate, the high governing body of these United States, lawmakers boastfully filibuster an anti-lynching bill off the calendar, barter words for blood and stand their government naked of pretense before sickened, justice-seeking black millions. The spirits of James Scott and hundreds of innocents cry out in vain to the culture and civilization that is but veneer, to the Christianity that is but sham, to the democracy that is but mockery, but their day is yet to come. At the High Bar the justice of Him who ministered to and died for all men is assured them. PROGRESSIVE JOURNALISM (The Freeman.) Not for a long time have we seen anything touching the race problem that impressed us so favorably as the current issue of the Messenger, a periodical published in New York city under the editorship and management of a colored staff. The feature of special interest in this issue, for May, is a collection of some 40 book reviews contributed by colored writers. As one examines the list, one discovers a number of volumes by colored authors, and a number of others that deal, more or less specifically, with the race problem; and yet one is impressed, above all, by the interest that is here displayed in the general culture of the time. Some of the books under review are "The Social Trend" by Edward A. Ross, "Print of My Remembrance" by Augustus Thomas, "The Story of Mankind" by Hendrik Willem Van Loon, "Jurgen" by James Branch Cabell, and "The Outlook of Science" by J. Arthur Thomson. The selection is somewhat light on the side of belles lettres except where the works of colored authors are concerned; and then, too there would seem to be no good reason why the list of reviewers should not have been extended to include a few non-colored writers. However these are minor matters, for it is already clear enough that the human spirit predominates over the racial in the policy of this magazine. FLORIDA CLEANS HOUSE Thomas W. Higginbotham, the notorious "convict whipping" boss of Florida, who caused the death of the North Dakota youth, Martin Tabert was convicted last week of second degree murder. The verdict carries a sentence of 20 years in the penitentiary. Florida is cleaning up. Convict leasing has been abolished in that state, and careful prison inspection provided for. Not content with that Florida is punishing those guilty of crimes under the old system. It is a good augury; but somehow, every such improvement has to be started by a tragedy or near tragedy. Health Talks By E. S. WEBER, D. D. S. Any questions regarding subjects in these articles or other dental work should be addressed to the Health Editor of the Appeal. Dr. Weber will publish the answers each week in this column. "HEALTH"—(Continued.) In my last article I stated that health is a combination of sleep rest, recreation, diet, exercise, cleanliness, and right condition of the mind. All of these things together will promote and maintain health. In this issue I will elaborate on "Diet," your daily consumption of food. Life can be improved and lengthened by proper eating. The true diet is very simple, and is easy to adopt. The problems necessary to bring this are mainly those of habit formation. If you use meat eat it only very moderately, also cereals, potatoes and sugar. The main essential there is a growing realization of the value of simple foods, natural foods, all over this great universe. The natural foods are the vegetables, berries, grains, roots, fruits and nuts, should form the habit of eating some of these foods, make it more palatable, but, however, only a portion of the food should be cook. The natural food contains elements of great value which cooking must, necessarily, make use of. Of the natural food should be emphasized for the rebuilding of the whole physical organization. especially is it to be emphasized that right eating will maintain the healthful condition of the teeth, and adjacent tissues. I am not sure how to develop a Good, Sound Set of Teeth," issued April 14. The vegetables are extremely valuable. Fresh spinach and other greens are wonderful foods. The leek leaves leach too much cold slaw, should be a daily delight. Cabbage in any form is very good. These foods may be combined with each other such as tomatoes stuffed with celery, chopped lettuce, nuts or other suitable foods, when used moderately. Raw eggs are fine but all of us cannot eat them that way. Soft boiled eggs cannot be beat, while baked, poached or boiled are superior to fried eggs. Milk, remember always that it is a good and not a drink. It is good practice to make milk a part of your daily diet. Remember, too, that when it is taken into the system it becomes a solid. It is also a fact that it is a fluid in the mouth. I feel that I must say something about the fruits. Most important in vital cleanliness is the action of the natural fruit acids in the mouth and upon the teeth. The daily use of these acids will be held in keeping the teeth in clean condition, and lemons and grape fruit will be excellent for an occasional supplement. These will aid as external cleansers and thus be a protection in this way. These facts will be of interest because their value content. Eat plenty of fruit, friends. Honey is another food of value and I don't believe many people use it. It is far superior to cane sugar or sweetening purposes. Give the kiddies a taste of it; it is better, than a great deal of candy. Building the body is without doubt a great art, well worthy of study, and of practical application. All of us know would like to be strong, apply our knowledge to bodies that we can dance, run, swim, play and work, with delight with only a pleasant sense of desire for rest to follow. A combination of wise thinking, happy, healthful exercise with physical activity will help to keep the doctor away and render our bodies strong and healthy. Q. I have a tooth that was filled with silver about two months ago, and it has never been right since because when I take something hot or is wrong? A. The filling evidently was put too close to the pulp (nerve of the tooth). Enamel, the outer covering of teeth is a non-conductor of thermal changes and electricity. Metallic restorations conduct thermal changes and electricity. To remedy this condition have the filling re-used, the tooth filled, and filled. The tooth should receive a cavity lining and a cement base before attempting to refill it. I would advise you to look into this matter at once, because this irritation to the pulp might in time cause death to it and subsequent loss of the tooth. Q. I have been wearing a dental plate of years. It has become very loose. Do I have to have a new plate made or can something be done to make this place fit? Mrs. K. A. You would not have to have a new plate. Your plate can be re-lined. Q. What do you think of this new mouth wash "Zonite?" S. A. N. A. It is very good, as a matter of fact I think that it is one of the best on the market. Q. What is meant by "necrosis?" Mr. P. L. C A. Cell or tissue death in any part of the living body. The Colored Church By William H. Gaston. The Colored Church must take a little more interest in problems that confront us in this life. It must cease to be only the real estate agency for the business company against hell's fire and damnation. It must cease to teach as a fact the geology of Moses and the astronomy of Joshua. The church must become a shining light, a blazing star, a source of light. It must have as guides scientists instead of prophets, merchants and mechanics instead of ministers and missionaries. The people must learn that they can live longer on the products of the earth, faith; and that with one plow more wheat and corn can be raised than with a million prayers. There are over forty-five thousand church buildings in this country; and an aggregate value of church property more than eighty-seven million dollars. Do not accomplishments in material good impress that there is a vast amount of money handled and misdirected wealth? The thousands that are homeless and in want; the thousands that every year suffer from hunger and cold, is no compliment to the efforts of the people of the country, for the days of each week in some of these massive, magnificent, beautiful structures do not add substantially to the daily comforts of those who toil in misery and are clothed in rags; whose lives are a half starved existence in the midst of the hardships and hovels. Six days of toil, hunger and suffering cannot be alleviated by a few hours of prayer, songs and sermons on the seventh day. We must take thought for tomorrow; for tomorrow we must prepare. For tomorrow we must prepare something to eat and on tomorrow we must also have something to wear. The widow must no longer give her all, her mite. She must provide for her own, especially for those of her own house. To from her to receive. Begging, an attribute of the church, a system if not degrading in itself, it is, to say the least, too often demoralizing in its effect; often bringing innocent and unsuspecting young women and girls in contact with seducers, and often putting effort on the part of the colored people in the promotion of progress and uplift is a necessity that cannot be denied. Yet uplift and progress cannot be accomplished by leveling all to the lowest social strata. Since it is not possible for journalists, publishers, social workers, etc., to measure the colored people by their lowest; it follows that the supreme efforts should be to elevate those that are fallen. This cannot be accomplished through the immediate efforts of the church and the intellectually and mentally repraised, by the indiscriminate placing of them in the indiscriminate breeding influence upon the unwary young and unsuspecting youth. And, too, there exists a peculiar narrow, clamishness that destroys the ability of the most profligate libertines, to be not only of their affiliation, but of the most conspicuous positions in the church, to be not only of a conspicuous and responsible position in the church, should be a living, practical example worthy of emulation. Again some of the most cruel and beastly husbands and fathers, some of the most unfaithful wives and negligible members of the church. Membership in the church is guarantee of honesty or of good character. While our Magdalenes should be given aid and encouragement in their efforts to attach social uplift; yet they cannot be indiscriminately treated. Social mands not only assertion, but proof of the change. Not only should the dying thief be awarded a place in Paradise while he hangs upon the cross; but conditions should continue to improve until environment and circumstance no longer necessitate his being a thief. The goal of the church run only should be to abolish illiteracy, but its influence should be used to provide the very highest possible development of all the youth of the colored race. "The effort of the churches to meet the recreational needs of the Negro people has been very limited" (Worlds Survey, American volume. Revised ed. 1985). The groups are relatively few moving picture theaters in Negro neighborhoods. A number of these use questionable pictures, often interspersed with vulgar vaudeville. Pool rooms, run for gain without proper supervision, are simply breeding places for gamblers. In the church, with their natural graving for pleasure, meet designers expoilers seeking victims." "Dance halls in many cities, frequently conducted under commercial auspices, are places where all types of dance are performed, youth plays without warning with tawdry vice and designing seducers." "The need of meeting places for social intercourse and of places with equipment for indoor and outdoor dance is a universal" (ib, page 93). The above quotation from the Council of Churches needs no comment. From the same report: "Amicable adjustment of race relations on a basis of justice, peace and harmony in an acid test for the Christian Church." "The neglect and exploitation of the mental, moral, physical and spiritual powers of the Negro child in Christian America is a heartening confession." It is a very safe proposition to assume that the Negro child will much time in "Considering the lilies of the field," and "Taking no thought for tomorrow," and it far more unsound in practice. Again from the World's Survey: "Let it be burned into the minds of our church leaders that A CHURCH WHICH CANNOT SAVE THE WORLD CAN NEVER SAVE THE WORLD." Present conditions demand that every institution must produce material benefit through physical, mental and last, but by far not the least, MORAL development. And the church is no exception. One of the main facts about the discussion of subjects of this nature, the majority of the people are a little afraid to give their honest opinions. The average person's honest opinion will cause him to become unpopular. Honesty, even at the expense of becoming unpopular, is the best after all. Do not destroy one of the greatest of all blessings, liberty of the soul. A man was being tried charged with a very grave crime. After the prosecution had delivered the final argument the jury filed into the jury room and began to discuss the evidence. The jury members on this jury walked over and laid down on a lounge making the following remark: "Alright gentlemen, whatever you agree on I am with you." Should principle be sacrificed for the sake of popularity? Should every person in the world with the exception of one man believe that a proportion of cotton weighs as two pounds of lead would none the less be false. Numbers establish neither the truth or falsity of an assertion. The world is round in spite of the fact that noblemen, learned men and crown heads of Europe in 1492 believed to the contrary, and believed Columbus insane. The earth moves, although Bruno was tortured for prosecution, and the unreasonableness should be the grounds for accepting an assertion as true or rejecting it as false. Where is heaven? I do not know; some min isters say that heaven is beyond the sun, moon and stars. How far are the stars away? Some are so far away that light travelling at a rate of nearly two hundred thousand miles per second requires more than two thousand years to reach this earth. Did Ellijah go to heaven in a charlot of fire drawn by two horses? I do not know; if it had been an automobile he certainly would have had to step on the gas. Did ravens feed the prophet in the mountains? I do not know, but ravens could work feeding the crowing millions Russia and Austria. Were three Hebrews thrown into a firy furnace made exceptionally hot for this particular occasion, walked around inside and then came out without even a hair being singed, or a thread being scorchied, not known by the little bubes that were flying from ing, praying mothers' arms and thrown into the flames of burning buildings during the East St. Louis riot certainly burned; so did all the mob victims in Texas, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Georgia. Are you not afraid of the nature of your objects of nature? The church people say that I should be, that I will go to hell for giving my honest opinion. Would Insure Purity of Attar of Roses Sofia, Bulgaria.—The adulteration of attar of roses, one of Bulgaria's most interesting and profitable industries has developed to the point where the government has found it necessary to intervene. Essence of geraniums has been used in the debasing of this perfume, and so skillfully that it has been difficult to prove the presence of the cheaper and more common extract. The result has been very detrimental to trade in genuine attar of roses. It has not only weakened confidence in the purity of the product, but has a disastrous effect on prices. The government has introduced in parliament, a bill appropriating 1,000-000 leva to be颁发的 in prizes to the scientist who discovers a process for the certain detection of the presence of adulterants in Bulgarian attar of roses.

John W avenue surgeon morning first col- to Belle Queen*n univer from the table and told her guests to go to their rooms, don their riding-clothes, pack what they needed for the long and adventurous camping trip that she hoped would be the climax of their western experience, and to snatch a little sleep before the cowboys roused them for the early start. Madeline went immediately to her room, and was getting out her camping apparel when a knock interrupted her. "Who's there?" she questioned. "Stewart," came the reply. She opened the door. He stood on the threshold. "May I speak to you?" he asked. "Certainly." She bestiated a moment, then asked him in and closed the door. "Is—is everything all right?" "No. These bandits stick to cover pretty close. They must have found out we're on the watch. But I'm sure we'll get you and your friends away before anything starts." "Do you have any idea who is hiding in the house?" "I was worried some at first. Pat Haeve acted queer. I imagined he'd discovered he was trailing bandits who might turn out to be smuggling guerrilla crones. But talking with your servants, finding a bunch of horses hidden down in the mesquite behind the pond—several things have changed my mind. My idea is that a cowardly handful of riffle outcasts from the border have hidden in your house, but no design. Well let them go—get rid of them without even a shot. If I didn't think so—well I be considerably worried. It would make a different state of affairs." "Stewart, you are wrong. I saw one of these bandits. I distinctly recognized him." One long step brought him close to her. "Who was he?" demanded Stewart. "Don Carlos." He muttered low and deep, then said, "Are you sure?" "Absolutely, I saw his figure twice in the hall, then his face in the light. I could never mistake his eyes." Madeline was tremblingly conscious that Stewart underwent a transformation. She saw as well as felt the leaping animal that changed him. "Call your doctor, tersely, and wheeled toward the door." "Stewart wait!" she said. He turned. His white face, his burning eyes, his presence now charged with definite, fearful meaning, infused her strangely, weakened her. "What will you do?" she asked. "That needn't concern you. Get your party in here. Be the windows and lock the doors. You'll be safe." "Stewart! Tell me what you intend to do." "I won't tell you," he replied, and turned away again. "But I will know," she said. With a hand on his arm she detained him. She saw how he hated—felt the shock in him as she touched him. "Oh, I do know. You mean to fight!" "Well, Miss Hammond, isn't it about time?" he asked. There was weariness, dignity, even reproof in his question. "The fact of that Mexican's presence here in your house ought to prove to you the nature of the case. These vaques, these guerrillas, have found out you won't stand for any fighting on the part of your men. Don Carlos is a sneak, a coward, yet he's not afraid to hide in your own house. He has learned you won't let your cowboys hurt anybody. He's taking advantage of it. He'll rob, burn, and make off with you. He'll murder, too, BARN MAYERS. "Stewart, I Forbid You to Fight, Unless in Self-Defense." If it falls his way. The Greasers use knives in the dark. So I ask—isn't it about time we stop him?" "Stewart, I forbid you to fight, unless in self-defense. I forbid you." "What I mean to do is self-defense. Haven't I tried to explain to you that just now we've wild times along this stretch of border? Must I tell you again that Don Carlos is hand and glove with the revolution? The rebels are crazy to stir up the United States. You are a woman of promotion. Don he would make me off with you. If he got you, what little matter to cross the border with you! Well, where would the hue and cry go? Through the troops along the border! To New York! To Washington! Why, it would mean what the rebels are working for—United States intervention. In other words, war!" "Oh, surely you exaggerate!" she cried. "Maybe so. But I'm beginning to see the Dox's game. And, Miss Hammond, the Dox's game."

The new invention has been patented at the United States patent office. suffer if Don Carlos got you over the line. I know these low-caste Mexicans. I've been among the peons—the slaves. "Stewart, don't let Don Carlos get me," replied Madeline, in sweet directness. She saw him shake, saw his throat swell as he swallowed hard, saw the hard dericness return to his face. "I won't. That's why I'm going after him." "But I forbade you to start a fight deliberately." "Then I'll go ahead and start one without your permission." He shook off her hand and strode forward. "Please, don't go!" she called, beechingly. But he kept on. "Stewart!" She ran ahead of him, intercepted him, faced him with her back against the door. He swept out a long arm as if to brush her aside. It but waerved and fell. Haggard, troubled, with working face, he stood before her. "It's for your sake," he exposulated, "Let me out, Miss Hammond. I'm going to take the boys and go after these guerrillas." "No!" "Good Heavens!" exclaimed Stewart. "Why not let me go? It's the thing to do. I'm sorry to distress you of your friends. But I'm going to Don Carlos' badgering? Is it because you're afraid a rumpus will spoil your friends' visit?" "It isn't—not this time." "Then it's the idea of a little shooting at these Greasers?" "No." "You're sick to think of a little Greaser blood staining the halls of your home?" "No." "Well, then, why keep me from doing what I know is best?" "Stewart, I—I—I" she faltered, in growing agitation. "I'm frightened—confused. All this is too—too much for me. I'm not a coward. If you have to fight you'll see I'm not a coward. But your war seems so great that ball is so dark—the queensliness would shoot from behind doors. You're so wild, so daring, you'd rush right into peril. Is that necessary? I think—I mean—I don't know just why I feel so—so about you doing it. But I believe it's because I'm afraid you—you might be hurt." "You're afraid I—I might be hurt?" he echoed, wonderingly, the hard whiteness of his face warming, fushing, glowing. The single word, with all it might mean, with all it might not mean, softened him as if by magic, made him gentle, amazed, shy as a boy, stifling under a torrent of emotions. Madeline thought she had persuaded him—worked her will with him. Then another of her startlingly sudden moves told her that she had reckoned too quickly. This move was to put her firmly aside so he could pass; and Madeline, seeing he would not hesitate to lift her out of the way, surrendered the door. He turned on the threshold. His face was still working, but the same-pointed gleam of his eyes was a return of that cowboy ruthlessness. "I'm going to drive Don Carlos and his gang out of the house," declared Stewart. "I think I may promise you to do it without a fight. But if it takes a fight, off he goes!" CHAPTER XIV The Mountain Trail As Stewart departed from one door Florence knocked upon another; and Madeline, far shaken out of her usual serenity, admitted the cool western girl with more than gladness. Just to have her near helped Madeline to get back her balance. She was conscious of Florence's sharp scrutiny, then of a sweet, deliberate change of manner. Florence might have been burning with curiosity to know more about the bandits hidden in the house, the plans of the cowboys, the reason for Madeline's visit, and the question of asking Madeline questions she introduced the important subject of what to take on the camping trip. For an hour they discussed the need of this and that article, selected those things most needful, and then packed them in Madeline's duffle-bags. That done, they decided to lie down, fully dressed as they were in riding-costume, and sleep, or at least rest, the little remaining time left before the call to saddle. Madeline turned out the light and, peeping through her window, saw dark forms standing sentinel-like in the gloom. When she lay down she heard soft steps on the path. This fidelity to her swelled her heart, while the need of it presaged that fearful something which, since Stewart's passionate appeal to her, haunted her as inevitable. Madeline did not expect to sleep, yet she did sleep, and it seemed to have been only a moment until Florence called her. She followed Florence outside. She could discern saddled horses being held by cowboys. There was an air of hurry and mystery about the departure. Helen, who came tipping out with Madeline's other guests, whispered that it was like an escape. She was delighted. The others were amused. To Madeline it was indeed an escape. She heard low voices, the champing of bits and thumping of hoofs, and she recognized Stewart when he led up Majesty for her to mount. Then came a pattering of soft feet and the whining of dogs. Cold noses touched her hands, and she saw the long, gray, shaggy shapes of her pack of Russian wolf-hounds. That Stewart meant to let him go with her was indicative of he studied her pleasure. She loved to be out with the hounds and her horse. Stewart led Majesty out into the New York, July 12.—Clarence Desmolins, arrested following the death of his wife last Sunday afternoon, on the statements of neighbors that he had been the victim of homicide court Wednesday. According to the examining physicians, Mrs. Desmolins died from natural causes. darkness past a line of mounted horses. "Guess we're ready," he said. "Till make the count." He went back along the line, and on the return Madeline heard him say several times, "Now, everybody ride close to the horse in front, and keep quiet till daylight." Then the snorting and pounding of the big black horse in front of her told Madeline that Stewart had mounted. "All right, we're off," he called. Madeline lifted Majesty's bridle and let the roan go. The trail led in a roundabout way through shallow gullies full of stone and water washed down by floods. At every turn now Madeline expected to come upon water and the waiting pack-train. But time passed, and miles of climbing, and no water or horses were met. Expectation in Madeline gave place to desire; she was hungry. Stewart kept on. It was eight o'clock by Madeline's watch when, upon turning into a wide hollow, she saw horses grazing on sparse grass, a great pile of canvas-covered bundles, and a fire round which cowboys and two Mexican women were busy. Madeline sat her horse and reviewed her followers as they rode up single file. Her guests were in merry mood, and they all talked at once. "Breakfast—and rustle," called out Stewart, without ceremony. For that matter, Madeline observed Helen did not show any marked contrast to the others. The hurry order did not interfere with the meal being somewhat in the nature of a picnic. Stewart waited for Madeline, and as she came up he said: "We're going to have a storm. Shall I call a halt and make camp?" "Here? Oh no! What do you think best?" "Well, if we have a good healthy thunderstorm it will be something new for your friends. I think wde be wise to keep on the go. There's no place to make a good camp. If it rains, let it rain. The pack outfit is well covered. We will have to get wet." "Surely," replied Madeline; and she smiled at his inference. She knew what a storm was in that country, and her guests had yet to experience one, "If it rains, let it rain." Stewart rode on, and Madeline followed. The way led in a winding course through a matted, storm-wrenched forest of stunted trees. Even to *this* elevation the desert reached with its gaud hand. The clouds overspreading the sky, hiding the sun, made a welcome change. The packtrain rested, and Stewart and Madeline waited for the party to come up. Here he briefly explained to her that Don Carlos and his bandits had left the ranch some time in the night. The air grew oppressive; the horses panted. "Sure it'll be a hummer," said Stewart. "The first storm almost always is bad. I can feel it in the air." The air, indeed, seemed to be charged with a heavy force that was waiting to be liberated. One by one the couples mounted to the cedar forest, and the feminine contingent declaimed eloquently for rest. But there was to be no permanent rest until night and then that depended upon reaching the crags. The pack-train waggoned onward, and Stewart fell in behind. The storm-center gathered slowly around the peaks; low rumble and blower of thunder In J. W. B. Immovable as Stone, He Sat His Horse, Dark-Faced, Dark-Eyed, and, Like an Indian Unconscious of Thought. creased in frequency; slowly the light shaded as smoky clouds rolled up; the air grew sutrifier, and the exasperating breeze puffed a few times and then failed. An hour later the club had climbed high and was rounding the side of a great bare ridge that long had hidden the crags. The last burro of the packtrain plodded over the ridge out of Madeline's sight. She looked backward down the slope, amused to see her guests change wearly from side to side in their saddles. Far below lay the cedar flat and the flatwoods. Far to the west the sky was still clear, with shafts of sunlight shooting down from behind the encroaching clouds. Stewart reached the summit of the ridge and, though only a few rods (To be continued next week) Baltimore, July 12.—Employers of colored labor in this city are obstructing efforts to unionize them.

It is true that a comparatively small number of union leaders are seeking to cause a breakdown of the railroads under private operation with a view to bringing about Government ownership. We believe that there remains today among the great majority of railroad workers the same fine sense of loyalty and honor towards the companies that has always characterized their service. That this is particularly true of the Great Northern is evidenced by the following resolutions unanimously adopted at a meeting of the Great Northern Veterans' Association on June 22, 1923: WHEREAS, from various sources it has been learned that the financial affairs of the railroads in the Northwest are insufficient to sustain a satisfactory financial condition; that much of the difficulty is due to high operating costs on account, among other things, of the present high prices of fuel and other supplies, and the rapid increase of late years in taxation, and WHEREAS, it is most important to the employee to know that His wages will be fair, That he will be promptly and properly paid, when due, for services rendered, That he is secure in his employment, That his conditions of employment are good.

Ferguson of Sparta, Ga., came to Atlanta and took the girl home. Cofer followed and filed habeas corpus proceedings to obtain his bride. He won his suit. Scarcely had the couple returned to Atlanta than annulment proceedings were started by the young bride's parents. 368 Carroll Avenue. 192 St. Anthony Avenue. 598 St. Anthony Avenue...$6,500.00 583 St. Anthony Avenue...4,250.00 494 Carroll Avenue...3,500.00 853 Carroll Avenue...4,800.00 328 Fuller Avenue. 633 Kent Street...3,500.00 **MRS.

Washington.—One more step in "opening up" Alaska will be taken when the government begins operation of river boats on the Yukon and Tanaa this summer. "Thus Falkbanks, interior metropolls of Alaska, becomes officially the place where rails and rivers meet," says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic society. "Falkbanks marks the apex of a traffic triangle with one leg planted at Seward, southern terminus of the Alaska railway, and the other on Bering sea, where flow the waters of the Tanana and the Yukon. "The Yukon is one of the world's great rivers. If its mouth were at New York city its source would be near Salt Lake City. "The Tanana, the less familiar portion of the new government boat route, is the Yukon's chief southern tributary. It drains the vast Tanana valley, rich in gold, other minerals and virgin farm lands. "This Imperial valley of the Far North, as large as West Virginia, now has a white population of less than 7,000. In a dozen years after the first substantial gold output, in 1903, yellow ore worth $66,000,000 was mined. Town of Flowers and Birdhouses. "Steaming up the Yukon in summer time the visitor will reach a town of many flowers, where numerous homes have hothouses, some have bird boxes on their peaks, and practically all have vegetable gardens. Wild roses and Scotch bluehues grow in the fields. "He rubs his eyes and exclaims, 'This can't be Alaska!' But it is, and Alaskans would have their fellow-Americans recover from the idea, 'due to misleading textbooks of generations gone,' that theirs is a 'forbidding, icecovered, glacier-crowned land of dogteams and polar bears.' The quotation is from the most recent report of the territorial government, and it is repeated at every opportunity. "The Alaskans are not denying marked climatic differences from the states. A novelist recently sent the proof of a serial story he was writing to a native. This writer had the pitch-dark of a Fourth of July night illuminated by fireworks. The fireworks were all right—the Alaskan celebrates with the rest of us—but there is no night in July. "Fairbanks had to pass a curfew law that all children must be put to bed summer evenings by ten o'clock, lest the youngsters get inadequate rest. After your host has tucked the children to bed and takes you to a dance or to the 'movies' it is a queer sensation at walk home in daylight. "The town of flowers and birds and gardens is Tanana. Turning into the river of that name the visitor is assailed by less pleasant evidences that Alaska is not all winter. Mosquitoes and mooseflies abound. "The Tanana is broad and placid. Green willows and poplars push out over the water's edge, for the earth banks are soft and the dirt melts away as in many places the water digs a cave beneath. "Often turning and twisting, your boat will pass Tolovana, where, on a clear day, Mt. McKinley, a hundred miles away, is visible. Farther on is Nenana, now the terminus of the broad-gauge Alaska railroad from Seward. Today passengers must change here to the narrow gauge line to Fairbanks. With the opening of the 700-foot, single-span bridge across the river at this point, the narrow gauge will be converted to the standard track width and trains will run through. "The government railway made Nenana a busy little town of neat buildings and up-to-date stores. So anxious are its citizens for a 'spotless town' ideal that they prohibit any dogs within a mile of their community. "The next town is Chena, which hopes to wrest future laurels from Fairbanks as the St. Louis of inland Alaska. Electric Lighted Chicken Coops. Electric Lighted Chicken Coops. "Then Fairbanks! Here, as in Dawson, sandwiches once cost a dollar apiece, fortunes were dug up and squandered, and the bilarity of a big city's night life extended through the 24 daylight hours. "Today Fairbanks retains little trace of a mining town. It has electric lights, stores, telephones, an agricultural college, jitneys run out to nearby towns and camps, and its women are reputed to be the most modishly dressed in the territory. "The electric lighting plant is used for the chicken houses as well as homes in the dark winter, small farms and dalries are springing up around the city, and their celery, growers insist, is on Fairbanks tables before that of Massachusetts reaches Boston consumers. "Fairbanks has its slogan, too, like its sister cities back in the states. It wants more roads and railroads, and capital for development of its surrounding coal fields. Therefore its appeal, about to be realized in part, 'Give us the railway and motive power,' and we will pay the nation's war debt!'" Hit by Auto; Is Fined $5. Detroit, Mich.—For "getting hit" by an automobile William Bercvick of Kenmore, O., was fined $5 and costs. According to the court, Bercvick was the cause of the accident, so the driver was exonerated. STEIN'S We Deliver GROCERIES MEATS Try Our Fresh Meats and Fish DRESSED POULTRY Cor. Dale & W.
