Story Of Dance Hall Invasion Declared False Citizens of Worth, Ill., Laugh at Idea of Colored Workers Taking Wives; Associated Press Story Branded as "Damn Lie." Chicago, Ill., Aug. 3.—A reporter from the Chicago Defender investigated the story published in the Chicago Herald and Examiner and broadcasted by the Associated Press, to the effect that a gang of colored workmen had invaded a dance at Worth, Ill., and taken the wives of the men for partners and found that the whole story was a fabrication of a reporter. The facts as brought to light by citizens of the town showed that trouble had occurred within the workers' camp and the townspeople had nothing whatsoever to do with the disturbance. Citizens Laugh at Story Following the trouble, many of the workers have left the camp. The number has decreased to 40 and the men have the sympathy of the white citizens of Worth, who denounce the story published Monday morning in the Herald-Examiner of the trouble as an absolute lie in its entirety. They laugh and sneer at it. "No, no; those men didn't come into any dance hall here Saturday. There wasn't any dance," some of them declared. Others expressed themselves thus: "Took our wives from us and danced with 'em, eh? Where did the Herald get that stuff? It's all bunk—a damn lie." they declared with contempt. Police Deny Story. But the Herald got that "stuff" from the police, according to an official of the staff, who was interviewed by a Defender reporter. The police at Argo told them, the she but he would make an investigation. The police at Worth also deny that the men invaded any dance hall there. On June 20 a group of women, so inspired by the address of Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter and the contact with the women en route to the Northwestern Federation, met at the home of Mrs. Beulah Mitchell, 3612 Elliott avenue, for the purpose of organizing a club. Mesdames Chavis and Donovan gave brief talks on the state federation. After balloting, the name, "The Mary B. Talbert Study Club" was chosen. The following officers were elected: Pansy Chavis president; Mamie Donovan, vice president; Beulah Mitchell, recording secretary; Mable Preston, corresponding secretary, and Glorine Fassett, treas- Labor Leader Sends New Tale Of Oppression In Virgin Islands PRESIDENT OF FRANCE WARS ON COLOR LINE Bulletin on Equality Will be Issued to Americans Touring France By Paul Scott Mowrer. Paris, July 19.—Following incidents in which American tourists in Paris have taken offense at the presence of colored people in cafes and on sight-seeing cars, Premier Point-care, under pressure from French colored deputies has agreed to request the United States government, through the French ambassador in Washington, to endeavor to explain to Americans that colored citizens of France enjoy the same rights as do white citizens' and will be protected by the law against discrimination. In addition, the French government intends to issue an official statement on the subject addressed to the French people and visiting foreigners, particularly with a view to preventing unpleasant incidents in the future. The number of colored people in France is insignificant, and there is no race prejudice against them. It is feared that in the event of a dispute in a public place between French colored man and an American tourist who took offense at his presence, Paris crowd would side with the colored man. Finally, the French people will be warned that they must not discriminate against colored people, not withstanding any protest by American visitors. Warning Note Issued By Foreign Office Paris, Aug. 1. "Foreign tourists, forgetting they are our guests and therefore bound to respect our customs and laws, recently on several occasions have forcibly manifested their aversion to seeing colored men born in the French colonies sit by their side in public places. If such incidents are repeated punishment will be exacted." Thus reads a note issued by the ministry of foreign affairs Tuesday night. It probably was called forth by recent refusal of four Americans to take bus seats with colored cadets from the Freujsu military school who were visiting Paris as official guests. Members of the Chamber of Deputies, including colored deputies lodged a protest with the foreign office. Appeal Staff Guest Of Blekre Tire Plant Members of The Appeal staff were the guests of the Blekre Tire Co. in the Midway district on Tuesday. 'And when we say "guests" we mean just that. After being greeted personally by Mr. E. O. Klekre, president of the firm, we were escorted through the plant by Fred Baker, the company's colored salesman, and later were the guests of Mr. Baker at the company's excellent cafeteria. We had heard before this, of the friendliness and pleasing personality of Mr. Blekre, but we were agreeably surprised nevertheless. Mr. Blekre showed himself familiar with movement of color in women to the Novelist we interested in the flow Sk. Paul in particular. He knows and expresses respect for a number of outstanding colored men in the city. Altogether we were more cordially received there than at any business house in the two cities. We have a sneaking hunch, too, that the first tires we'll buy for The Appeal's gasoline knockabout will be Blekres. Old 369th To Be Host To General Gourard Old 369th To Be Host To General Gourard (K.

THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS. MINN.. SATURDAY. AUGUST 4, 1923 Rothschild Francis Says Wages of Natives Range From Ten Cents to One Dollar a Day; Navy Rule Bringing Economic Ruin. (Crusader Service.) St. Thomas, V. I., July 31.—The following statement was given your correspondent here by the Hon. Rothschild Francis, organizer of Federal Labor Union No. 17261, and editor of "The Emancipator," for circularization in the United States in order that the colored citizens in the States may realize to what a terrible pass United States naval administration has brought their brethren in these islands: "Right here in these Virgin Islands are a group of human beings who are members of the working class. They too, can tell tales of opression, of misrepresentation, and of exploitation that will cause your blood to circulate above normal rapidity, but the purpose of this statement is to point out that they are a present without any visible means of support. The men go idle from day to day. Children are undermoured and the economic condition of these islands is something deplorable. "Federal laws have worked havoc upon these islands. They have closed the harbor of St. Thomas from outside commerce and have chased away the intellectual and commercial element from the Island of St. Croix, and have done more things too numerous to mention here. These islands are under the direct control of the Navy Department. Thinking natives hold in high regard the personnel of the navy that are sent down here to govern, but they are irreconcilably opposed to the form of government, that is neither Danish nor American. To present date only the New York Call, the Nation—who recently had a representative down here—and the Messenger have paid any special attention to happenings down here. We want you to understand that our people are industrial serfs who work for wages ranging from ten cents to one dollar per day. They live in one-room houses; eat scanty meals and are forced to move about in a manner unbecoming civilized people at this age. "Politically, they are peons without any government pattern. Off the American conception, Illiterates may vote but women may not. The governor appoints and discharges the judges. The police judge and government attorney are one and the same person and in short, there are sadder things than these. "We want you to publish this statement to your readers. We want you to give us space in your valuable paper to voice our grievances. We want you to say a word editorially about a group of people who, like cows, have no status, and are forced to accept federal laws, are governed by the navy and at present have no means of eking out a livelihood. Tell the congressmen of your state about the conditions and ask them to say something on our behalf in the coming congress that will give us a civil form of government and grant us opportunities to improve our economic condition. "I sincerely grant that the colored press in the United States will grant my request and come to the aid of the suffering colored people of the Virgin Islands of the United States." J. W. JOHNSON AUTHOR OF MAGAZINE ARTICLE J. W. JOHNSON AUTHOR OF MAGAZINE ARTICLE N. A. A. C. P. Secretary Writes is August Number of "Our World" "The-colored man is the creator of the only things artistic that have yet sprung from American soil and been universally acknowledged as distinctive American products," according to James Weldon Johnson, writing in the August "Our World," published at 9 East 37th street, New York city. After reciting that colored people sailed with Columbus, explored with Narvaez, fought in every war on American soil, and contributed by their labor to the nation's prosperity, Mr. Johnson says: "However, honorable and glorious as is the colored man's record, it is not the most important story about him in America. For a display of the elements of stamina and courage and loyalty and of intelligence, it does not begin to compare with his peace record. It is in the victories of peace that the colored man has demonstrated his highest claim to full membership in the groups that enter into the making of America. It is in the victories of peace that he has stood the test of the more essential qualities of manhood and citizenship of stamina, patience, sacrifice, courage, determination, intelligence and faith in oneself. Indeed, in my opinion, it requires greater courage and a higher degree of qualities, mental and spiritual, for a colored man to be a successful, respected and self-respecting citizen in, say, Mississippi than it required for a colored man to win the Croix de Guerre in France." CLUB WOMEN END FEDERATION MEET IN LOS ANGELES CLUB WOMEN END FEDERATION MEET IN LOS ANGELES Body Sends Protest on Raising of Bars Against Immigrants 200 DELEGATES PRESENT Mrs. Snowden Porter Re-Elect ed to Presidency; Resolutions Adopted By Noah D. Thompson. Los Angeles, July 28.—Representing more than 200,000 club women from 13 states, about 200 delegates are today winding up the business of the third biennial session of the Northwestern Federation of Colored Women's clubs of which Mrs. Joanna Snowden Porter of Chicago, Ill., is the re-elected president . The session began in Los Angeles Sunday afternoon with a large mass meeting at the St. Paul Institutional church where many prominent men and women spoke words of welcome to the delegates. To Build Hospital. Reports during the session show that the federation is engaged in all lines of endeavor that come within the scope of women's clubs with a special aim to raise $50,000 student scholarship fund as set forth by the National Association of Colored Women and to build a hospital for tubercular patients in Arizona. Among many resolutions to be acted upon today is one of protest against raising the immigration bars which have proved so beneficial to colored labor and have opened the doors of the industrial North to the oppressed peons of the South. Protest on Soldiers. The war department will also receive a strong protest against its decision to give federal recognition to colored soldiers who fought for "democracy" only as stevedores, pioneer platoons, and labor battalions it having been brought to the attention of the women that the former 8th Illinois National Guard is the only organization of colored soldiers that has received federal recognition and been equipped as a fighting regiment ONE DEAD, ONE DYING IN N. Y. ASYLUM RIOT Colored Leader of Inmates Shot After Uprising in Mess Hall (K. N. F. Service.) Ellenville, N. Y., Aug. 2.—One prisoner is dead and one guard is dying and seven other guards are more or less seriously injured as the result of a riot last week at the supper hour in the mess hall of the Home for Mental Delinquents in Najanoch, two miles from here. Phillip Sasso, a Porto Rican, who lead the riot, is dead. He suffered a fractured skull when he fell to the concrete floor. Jesse Christiana, a guard, white, was hit over the head with a stool and is not expected to live. The riot started when, at a signal Sasso rose to his feet and threw a bowl against the well. Immediately the mess hall was transformed into a confused mass of scrambling, shouting men. Sasso, shrieking, shouting men, shrieks to follow him. They made for the exits. Just as they were about to dash outside the hall, Supt. W. N. Thayer, attracted by the noise appeared. Drawing his revolver he ordered the men back into the hall. In the scramble Sasso is alleged to have fallen and struct his head against the concrete floor causing his death. Progress Shown At Business Exposition (K. N. F. Service.) New York, Aug. 2.—The colored Commercial and Business show, which came to a close today, portrays vividly the progress enterprises in this and other cities have made in recent years. The exposition was staged in the Renaissance Casino, a large building occupying half a city block, which is owned by colored people. The exhibits represent almost every line of endeavor, from machinery, plumbing, phonographs and records, to sculpture, etchings and paintings. Prominent men addressed the visitation night. Among them were W. E. B. DuBois, John E. Nail, Watt Terry, Brockton's wealthiest colored man, James Weldon Johnson and others.

Ministers Thank The Appeal For Publicity On Recent Convention Addis Ababa, Abyssinia, July 30.—His Royal Highness, Ras Tafari, King of Abyssinia, is not above going to a rock pile and carrying stones to mend a road, and doing so with the humblest of his followers, according to Dr. Thomas Lambie, an American medical missionary. Dr. Lambie, who recently returned to his field of labor from the United States, declares that he has been an eye-witness many times of the king's co-operation with his people in the most arduous and menial of labors. "Dare anyone criticise and say, 'Better to hire someone to do this' The Appeal Worthy of Support of Community Says Rev. L. W. Harris Declaring that "The Appeal has proved its ability to serve the public in a large way," Rev. L. W. Harris, chairman of the committee of arrangements for the recently held Western Baptist convention, in a signed statement yesterday urged community support for the paper. Rev. Harris' statement follows: "The closing of the Western Baptist convention which was held July 17 to 22 is now an historical event. It was indeed an enthusiastic, inspiring, spiritual and educational treat. It was helpful to the citizens of the Twin Cities who are interested in church affairs. Those who attended and observed the conduct of the meetings expressed themselves in a favorable way. "The pastors of the Baptist churches of Minnesota are grateful to The Appeal for the publicity it gave this meeting, in creating a favorable public sentiment for the coming of said meeting, and in keeping it before the public while it was still in session. The Appeal has proved its ability to serve the public in a large way, and the pastors of such churches urge the people to assist in making The Appeal one of the greatest papers among our group. To do so we urge all to become subscribers for said paper. L. W. Harris. Chairman." Fifty copies of The Appeal containing the news of the convention, were distributed free on the convention floor Saturday morning, July 21. Mosesel, president of the convention, with the compliments of The Appeal. Frat Chapter To Quit, Alleging Klux Control Fort Wayne, Ind., Aug. 1.—Efforts of a faction said to be controlled by the Ku Klux Klan to dominate the affairs of the Phi Delta Kappa fraternity, a national young men's organization, with a large membership in Indiana, is given as the reason Iota chapter of Fort Wayne, organized 16 years ago, planned to surrender its charter Tuesday. In a statement Tuesday J. Edward Spiegel, president of the chapter, said the organization would continue as an independent chapter under the direction of the mid- officers who were beheaded at meeting Monday night when he added, the decision to separate from the national fraternity was reached. It was intimated by officers that similar action will be taken by other chapters but no specific information was available. SMITH TESTIMONIAL SET FOR AUGUST 17 Arrangements have been completed for a public testimonial to Charles Summer Smith, veteran editor of the Twin City Star and Minnesota Messenger, Friday, August 17, at Elks' Hall, Minneapolis, in which all public spirited citizens of the Twin Cities will join heartily. Editor Smith suffering from a complete nervous breakdown has been confined to his bed for the past two months but will be allowed months to come. Reward for long meritorious public service and sympathy for the present distress of Editor Charles Summer Smith are inspiring loyal colored citizens to make this one of the biggest events in the history of the Twin Cities.

Abyssinia is not America or England, and an Abyssinia monarch has ideas different to those of an American capitalist or an English duke or lord.

GARVEYITES AGAIN ASK PRESIDENT FOR MARCUS Petition for Release of Defrauder Contains 140 Pages of Signatures (Crusader Service.) Washington, Aug. 2. — Supporters of Marcus Garvey, guilty or innocent, fraud or Moses, have again petitioned the White House for a department of justice inquiry into the case and for the Presidential intervention for their imprisoned idol. The petition has 140 pages of signatures and reiterates the charges of unfairness, although such charges are almost nullified by the fact that the very day on which Garvey was found guilty his own paper, "The Negro Times," carried a leading article praising the conduct of the case and commending the judge for his eminent fairness to the defendant. The petition moreover attributes Garvey's troubles to "a rival enemy organization by the name of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People." It does not say outright that the N. A. A. C. organization responsible for the act that Garvey was responsible for the defense colored people, or for the sale of passage to Africa by Garvey and his employees on the ghost ship "Phyllis Wheatley." Nor does it exactly state that the N. A. A. C.

World Baptists Elect Rev. L. K. Williams Stockholm, July 28.—Rev. L. K. Williams of Chicago was elected as a member of the executive committee of the Baptist World Alliance at the third congress of the alliance in session here. Rev.

He addressed the Western Baptist convention recently held at Pilgrim church. $2.00 PER YEAR CONNIVANCE WITH KLAN, DISMISSAL OF NURSES CITED N. A. A. C. P. Wire to-Director Hines Charges Colonel Stanly is Unfit SITUATION CALLED SCANDA White Doctors on Staff Willing to Testify to Act sof Discrimination. New York, Aug. 6.—Director General Hines of the Veterans' Bureau, has been asked in a telegram sent by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to remove Col. Robert H. Stanley, at present commanding the government hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee, Ala. The demand follows disclosure of charges that Col. Stanley had permitted the use of the government hospital supplies by the Ku Klux Klan, that he had failed to protect colored subordinates from the threats of mob violence, and that a number of colored nurses who it was feared might reveal conditions at the hospital, wore summarily discharged without cause. A letter to President Harding calling the Tuskegee hospital a "national scandal" and asking for a definite stand by the administration, supplements the telegram. The telegram sent to Director General Hines is as follows: "National Association for the Advancement of Colored People asks that Col. Robert H. Stanley be removed immediately from command of government hospital for colored war veterans at Tuskegee. Our request is based upon information on file in your office, establishing conclusively the failure of Col. Stanley as commander of the hospital to protect colored subordinates against mob threats; and showing that Col. Stanley tolerated if he did not actually attend at KKU. He now owns the hospital and use of hospital supplies; further, that colored nurses have been summarily discharged without cause. We ask the reinstatement of the three nurses removed without cause. Many other acts of discrimination are indicated, as to which a number of white doctors of Col. Stanley's staff are ready and willing to testify." Letter to Harding. The letter written to President Harding by James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, is as follows: "Dear Mr. President: "Unfortunately during your absence, the Tuskegee hospital situation has reached the stage of a national scandal. We have seen a body of lawless mobbists in the name of the Ku Klux Klan, attempting to defy the United States government, driving out colored men who had been appointed to work at the Tuskegee hospital. We have seen the white commander of that hospital, Col. Robert H. Stanley, failing to protect his colored subordinates who had been threatened with mob violence, and tolerating if not conniving at Ku Klux activity in the government hospital under his command. "Let me recall to you the exact words of a letter written on April 28 to this association by your secretary, Mr. Christian, at your direction: "Your communication of April 19th has been submitted to the President and he directs me to make reply and say that the task of selecting and completing the colored staff for the management and administration of Tuskegee hospital is well under way. It is the plan of the director of the Veterans' Bureau, with the approval of the President, to man this institution completely with a colored personnel." "Is it the purpose of the United States government to change is plan because a few mobbists make threats? Is political pressure in Washington going to retain in office a commanding officer who has shown himself so unfit as has Col. Stanley? These questions colored people throughout the nation, and white people as well, are now asking. We cannot do otherwise than present them to you, for we have steadily and persistently warned your administration of the danger in making any concession whatever to the mob sentiment represented by the Ku Klux Klan and by certain white people of Alabama. "We have already asked Director Hines to remove Col. Stanley. We ask your approval for this action, preceded of course by a thorough investigation and substantiation of the charges against this officer. We ask furthermore for the exact continuance of the government's plan, that is, a complete colored staff of qualified physicians and nurses, from the commanding officer down, and, if necessary, United States troops in Alabama to see that they are not interfered with in the work to which their government has called them.

A POOR SMOKE SCREEN A Memphis correspondent of the New York Tribune writes of the migration northward in a tone characteristic of nearly all the Southern opinion on the subject, namely, that the colored people have much more to lose by leaving than by staying. The burden of his complaint is that Northern and Western farmers are likely to come in and take hold of the land that the colored brother is leaving, and that the whole color question will be transplanted to the North. How nearly correct are the surmises of the writer? The first one is rather far-fetched. The South, through the Klan, has set its face against the foreigner. The thrifty Scandinavian farmers in the Northwest, who have not yet become citizens, are therefore barred. The free, independent far Western farmer will hardly give up his holdings to trek southward for the simple reason that the South offers less inducement to settle than does any other section. This is the crux of the whole situation. The conditions are not right, not only for colored farmers, but for any farmers. Credit facilities for Northern farmers are bad enough, but even these are better than none at all. The plantation system, the refined peonage system, by which debtor-tenants are kept in bondage to the creditor-owner, and the rule of mob law which puts a whim of self-conceived honor above the law of the land are some of the institutions that must be rooted out before the south can expect anyone to stay on its land. This prattling of color has recently become of no value in the mad scramble of Southern writers to hide the puerile civilization of Dixie. The fact is that civilization in the South has come to mean so little that the poorest, weakest and most ignorant colored people are coming away. Is it not folly to even venture the opinion that thrifty, freedom-loving white men, unused to the cast and color systems that exist in the South, will take up land in the Southern states and bring propriety to the land? The second guess of the correspondent has a much better chance of becoming a fact than the first. When any masses of people move into communities that are not used to them and attempt to adjust themselves to customs with which they are not familiar, there will be friction and prejudice. This friction will be alleviated somewhat by the fact that the people of the communities are not claimants to superiority simply and solely because their grand-fathers owned slaves. Even with this aid, the situation is grave and calls for the best thought and cooperation of the Northern whites and colored in dealing with the emigration problems. This sort of smoke screen in Northern newspapers is not blinding thinking men in all sections of the country to the true causes of the migration. Until conditions in the South are remedied, until her civilization is rehabilitated, neither black or white farmers will stay there for any length of time. THE MIGRATION (Minnesota Daily Star.) There is increasing concern over the northward migration of the colored people, according to a recent bulletin issued by the Research Department of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America. Agricultural life on the whole in the South is being seriously affected by the large movement of colored tenants and farm hands, says a report from the Department of Agriculture. The report estimates that 13 per cent of the colored farm labor of Georgia, 3 per cent of that in Alabama and South Carolina, 2 per cent of that in Florida and about 3% per cent of that in Arkansas moved North during the past 12 months. There are indications of the change in the type of colored people who are moving. The family man, the thrifty farm tenant and many of those with small accumulations of property are now migrating in larger proportions than formerly. Through friends and relatives who have gone North in previous years they have learned that the venture has successfully made as to the process of finding work and habitation as to meeting the climatic conditions. Now that the employing interests of the South are suffering from a decreasing supply of colored labor, they have suddenly discovered that the colored man is a very valuable industrial asset. They are due to discover further that they cannot keep a race of human beings in a position of economic inferiority, shut off from adequate intellectual and moral development, and at the same time get from it the best productive service. With the colored man coming North, it is a good time to realize the truth that the real solution of the race question lies in giving the colored man a chance to live and develop. THE WILLS CA SE (Ed. Shave, Sport Editor St. Paul Daily News.) The case of Harry Wills, colored heaveyweight fighter, is one that is due to cause considerable trouble, and discussion, in the next few months. Wills is regarded as the most logical contender for Dempsey's title. He has been in line for a bout with the champion for some time, but so far, has not found any promoters willing to stage it. A year or so ago, the New York commission ordered Dempsey to defend his title against Wills, the latter having officially challenged and deposited his forfeit money. Dempsey accepted the challenge, and asked the commission to have some promoter stage the bout. But there the commission was up . tree. The commission was afraid of the color line, afraid that if the bout was made and staged, that there would be opposition. It was put on the shelf until after the New York state election. It was used as campaign material, by the men working for Al Smith, who was elected on the Democratic ticket. They promised the colored people, that if Smith was elected he would force the issue, and Wills would get his chance. But now the Democrats are evading the issue, which is being forced by the colored clubs. I believe that Wills should have his chance. He was good enough to wear Uncle Sam's uniform during the great World War, good enough to be clothed in the khaki and follow the Stars and Stripes, and certainly is good enough to get an opportunity at the boxing title. Look at the ranks of the great fighters, Dixon, Gans, Walcott, Langford and many others; the first two were champions of their classes, and there was no hue and cry at that time. By E. S. WEBER, D.

STOMATITIS. This is a disease common to children, although localized ulcerative stomatitis may appear in the adult. By stomatitis is meant an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the mouth and if there is a marked secretion it is termed catarrhal stomatitis. Stomatitis in its catarrhal form usually accompanies the early and later stages of the eruptive fevers, scarlet fever, smallpox, etc. Other causes of this ailment are improper food, unclean nursing bottles, those who at a later age suffer from neglect of teeth and in whose mouth dental disease is widespread, and those who at a later age suffer from all exhibit abnormal conditions of the mucous membrane—more or less swelling, softness and deepened color of the mucous membrane, a coated tongue, and offensive breath, with an increase of the oral secretions. Irritant drugs and very hot fluids may produce similar results. General catarrhal stomatitis is a frequently occurring illness, and of drinkers of distilled liquors. There are other causes, but these are the commonest. The cure of these conditions consists in the removal and neutralization of the bacteria, antiseptics and mouth washes to allay irritation and prevent infection. Questions and Answers A. Two agents are responsible for this disease, namely, bacteria and predisposing causes (local and constitutional). The local causes are: Trauma (injury to the gums), injury to the epithelium, accumulation of dental tartar and calculous around the teeth, malfitting crowns, bridges and fillings; fillings projecting beyond cav- ity margin, edges of poorly fitted crown bands and the putrefaction of food, etc., collection in places where cement has washed out; the mechanical action of toothbricks or floss improperly crowded upon the gum margin, toothbrush bristles, orthodontic appliances and rubber dam clamps. I could go on and name more causes of gum inflammation, the matter up one might say that anything that will cause inflammation of the gum can be a source of pyorrhea. The constitutional predisposing causes are as follows: Diabetus, nephritis, scurvey, pallagra, and oedema caused by sepsis or inflammation of the gums, and also pernicious enemia. In addition to these diseases we have poisons such as mercury given at intervals will bring about suppuration and loss of the teeth. Lead and phosphorous lead to poisoning of the gums. Excessive amounts of alcoholic liquors produce irritative effects, resulting in catarral stomatitis and gingivitis. Q. Is it better to drink water with meals or afterwards? —A. L. H. A. A moderate amount of water taken with your meals will do no harm providing you chew your food well. Water is a good thing to finish a meal with, it aids digestion, and also helps the stomach to empty itself. Q. What is the cause of a foul breath? —A. G. M. A. Decayed teeth, infected tonsils, nasal diseases, stomach disorders and abscess of the lung. If your case is serious of the lung, you to consult a professional and a physician and Q. Is boric acid good to use as a mouth wash? —G.B.

Madeline will not listen. Stewart in a rage, starts to leave camp. Nails the caribou and his followers are coming. reason that red-faced coyote didn't trail you up here is because he's scared. He allusion was scared of you. But I reckon he's shore scared to death of me an 'Monty." "Well, we'll take Pat in his turn. The thing now is, when will that Greaser stalk us, and what'll we do when he comes?" "My boy, there's only one way to handle a Greaser. I shore told you the. He means rough toward us. He'll come smilin' up, all soclle like, insinuatin' an sweeter in a woman. But he ttreacherous; he's wuss than an Indian. An, Gen. we know for a reason how gang he've been operatin' between these hills in an Prieta. We know jest about what the bet rebel war down there amounts to. It's guerrilla war, an' shore some harvest time for a lot of cheap thieves an' outcasts." "Oh, you're right, Nels. I'm not disputing that," replied Stewart. "If it wasn't for Miss Hammond and the other women, I'd rather enjoy seeing you and Monty open up that bunch. I'm thinkin' I'd be glad to meet Don Carlos. But Miss Hammond! Why, Nels, such a woman as she is would never recover from the sight of real gun-play, let alone any stunts with a rope. These eastern women are different. I'm not belittling our western women. It's in the blood. Miss Hammond is—" "Shore she is," interrupted Nels; "but she's got a d—h sight more nuckl than you think she has, Gene Stewart. I'm no thick-skulled cow. I'd hate somehow'in powerful to hev Hiss Mammond see any rough work, let alone me an' Monty startin' somethin'. An' me an' Monty'll stick to you, Gene, as long as seems reasonable. Mind, ole feller, beggin' your pardon, you're shore stuck on Miss Hammond, an' overtender not to hurt her feelin' or make her sick by lettin' some blood. We're in bad here, mea'bell we'll hew to fight. Sabe, senor? Wal, if we do you can jest gamble the Miss Hammond'll be game. An' I'll bet you a million pesst that if you gone'升on, an' she you seen as I've seen you—wal, I know what she'kinds of you. This old world 'nait' changed much. Some women may be white-skinned an' soft-eyed an' sweet-voiced an' high-souled, but they all like to game. Let Don Carlos come along. Be civil. If he an' his gang are hungry, feed 'em. Take even a little overbeart' Greaser talk. Be blind if he wants his gang to steal somethin'. Let him the ranch. But if he says you're'ln — if he as much as looks round to see the women—jest jump him same as you jumped Pat Haew. He an' Monty'll hang back for thet, an' if your strong bluff don't go through. If the Don's gang even thinks of flashin' guns, then we'll open up. An' all I got to say is if them Greasers stand for real gunplay they'll be sure fust I ever seen. "Nels, there are white men in that gang," said Stewart. "Shore. But me an' Monty'll be thinkin' of the. If they start anythin' it'll he to be shore quick." "All right, Nels, old friend, and thanks," replied Stewart. Nels returned to the campfire, and Stewart resumed his silent guard. Madeline's guests sat talking in low voices until a late hour. The incident now began to take on the nature of Helen's long-yearned for adventure. Some of the party even grew merry in a subdued way. Then, gradually, one by one they tired and went to bed: To keep from thinking of Stewart and the burning anger he had caused her to feel for herself, Madeline tried to keep her mind on other things. But thought of him recurred, and each time there was a hot commotion in her breast hard to stifle. Intelligent reasoning seemed out of her power. In the daylight it had been possible for her to be oblivious to Stewart's deceit after the moment of its realization. At night, however, in the strange silence and hovering shadows of gloom, with the speaking stars seeming to call to her, with the moan of the wind in the pines, and the melancholy mourn of coyotes in the distance, she was not able to govern her thought and emotion. She had inadvertently heard Neis' conversation with Stewart; she had listened, hoping to hear some good news or to hear the worst; she had learned both, and, moreover, enlightenment on one point of Stewart's complex motives. He wished to spare her time and attention to the strigely disgusting her. Yet this Stewart who showed a fitness of feeling that might have been wanting even in Boy Harvey, maintained a secret rendezvous with that pretty, abandoned Bonita. Here the hot shame, like a live, stinging, internal fire, abruptly ended Madeline's thought. The hours wore on, and at length, as the stars began to pale and there was no sound whatever, she fell asleep. She was called out of her slumber. Day had broken bright and cool. The sun was still below the eastern crags. Ambrose, with several other cowboys, had brought up buckets of spring water, and hot coffee and cakes. Madeline's party appeared to be none the worse for the night's experience. Indeed, the menger breakfast might have been as merrily partaken of as it was hungrily had not Ambrose enjoined silence. "They're expecting company down below," he said. This information and the summary manner in which the cowboys soon led the party higher up among the enclosed shelves of rock caused the absence of anxiety. Madeline insisted on not going and a projection of cliff from which she could see directly down into the camp. "Ambrose, do you really think the guerrillas will come?" she asked. "Sure. We know. Nela just lured BLACK LABOR MAKING PROGRESS IN AFRICA (Crusader Service.)

There is no denying of the Ethiopian's determined invasion of all the skilled trades. For instance, in and said they were on their way up, Miss Hammond, can I trust you? You won't let out a squeak if there's a fight down it? Stewart told me to hide you out of sight or keep you from lookin'." "I promise not to make any noise," replied Madeline. Madeline arranged her coat so that she could lie upon it, and settled down to wait developments. There came a slight rattling of stones in the rear. She turned to see Helen sliding down a bank with a perplexed and troubled cowboy. Ambrose sternly and herically prepared to carry her back to the others. He held hold of her. In a fury, with eyes blazing. Helen whispered, "Let go of me! Majesty, what does this fool mean?" Madeline laughed. She knew Helen, and had marked the whisper, when ordinarily Helen would have spoken imperiously, and not low. Madeline ex- MYERS "I Promise Not to Make Any Noise," Replied Madeline. plained to her the exigency of the situation. "I might run, but I'll never scream," said Helen. With that Ambrose had to be content to let her stay. However, he found her a place somewhat farther back from Madeline's position, where he said there was less danger of her being seen than he had found her to silence, carried a moment to comfort Christine his wife, acting as maid to the ladies, and returned to where Madeline lay concealed. He had been there scarcely a moment when he whispered: "I hear hoses. The guerrillas are comin'." Madeline's hiding place was well protected from possible discovery from below. She could peep over a kind of parapet, through an opening in the tips of the plines that reached up to the cliff, and obtain a commanding view of the camp circle and its immediate surroundings. She could not, however, see far either to right or left of the camp, owing to the obstructing foliage. Presently the sound of horses' hoops quickened the beat of her pulse and caused her to keener gaze upon the cowhors below. Although she had some inkling of the course Stewart and his men were to pursue, she was not by any means prepared for the indifference she saw. Frank was asleep, or pretended to be. Three cowboys were lazily and unconcernedly attending to camper duties, such as baking biscuits, watching the ovens, and washing tires and pots. The elaborate set of aluminum plates, cups, etc., together with the other camp fixtures that had done service for Madeline's party, had disappeared. Nick Steele sat with his back to a log, smoking his pipe. Another cowboy had just brought the horses closer into camp, where they stood waiting to beaded. Nels appeared to be fussing over the horse, and Monty was rolling cigarettes. Monty had apparently nothing to do for the present except whistle, which he was doing much more loudly than melodiously. The whole ensemble gave an impression of careless indifference. The sound of horses' hoofs grew louder and slowed its beat. One of the cowboys pointed down the trail, toward which several of his comrades turned their head for a moment, then went on with their occupations. Presently a shaggy, dusty horse bearing a lean, rugged, dark rider rode into the camp and halted. Another followed, and another. Horses with Mexican riders came in single file and stopped behind the leader. "Buenos dias, senor," ceremoniously said the foremost guerrilla. By straining her ears Madeline heard that voice, and she recognized it as belonging to Don Carlos. Stewart answered the greeting in Spanish, and, waving his hand toward the campfire, added in English, "Get down and eat." The guerrillas were anything but slow in complying. They crowded to the fire, then spread in a little circle and squatted upon the ground, laying their weapons beside them. The cowboys were not cordial in their reception of this visit, but they were hospitable. The law of the desert had always been to give food and drink to wayfaring men, whether lost or hunted or hunting. "They appear to be friendly enough," whispered Madeline. "Ambrose, all you want to me—the real thing." "Sure, Gene thinks they're after you ladies—to carry you off. But Gene—Oh, Gene's some highfalutin in his ideas lately. Most of us boys think the guerrillas are to rob—that's all." Walthever might have been the se 80 per cent of the members of the Bakers' Trade Union are Ethiopians; and at Johannesburg there are at present 8,000 unemployed white miners. The doors of white unions are opening as if by magic to the touch of the native workmen who have laid down the ultimatum to white labor of the workers, now getting into the engineering trade and are admitted into the Almgalamated Engineering Union. creet motive of Don Carlos and his men, they did not allow it to interfere with a heavy appreciation of a generous amount of food. Then, as each and every one began to roll and smoke the inevitable cigarette of the Mexican, there was a subtle change in manner. They smoked and looked about the camp, off into the woods, up at the crags, and back at the leisurely cowboys. They had the air of men waiting for something. "Senor," began Don Carlos, addressing Stewart. As he spoke he swept his sambrete to indicate the camp circle. Madeline could not distinguish his words, but his gesture plainly indicated a question in regard to the rest of the camping party. Stewart's reply and the wave of his hand down the trail meant that his party had gone home. Stewart turned to some task, and the guerrilla leader quietly smoked. He looked cunning and thoughtful. Presently a big-boned man with a bullet head and a blistered red face of evil coarseness got up and threw away his cigarette. He was an American. "Hey, cull," he called in loud voice, "nurt ye goin to cough up a drink?" "Boys don't carry liquor on the trail." Madeline stewed. "Haw, haw! I heard over in Rodeo that ye was gittin' to be shore some fer temperance," said this fellow. "I hate to drink water, but I guess I've got it." He went to the spring, sprawled down to drink, and all of a sudden he thrust his arm down in the water to bring forth a basket. The cowboys in the hurry of packing had neglected to remove this basket; and it contained bottles of wine and liquors for Madeline's guests. They had been submerged in the spring to keep them cold. The guerrilla fumbled with the lid, opened it, and then got up, uttering a loud roar of delight. The wren made the most imperceptible attempt to leap forward; but he checked the impulse. "Guess my party forgot that. You're welcome to it." Like bees the guerrillas swarmed around the lucky funder of the bottles. MYERS Like Bees the Guerrillas Swarmed Around the Lucky Finder of the Bottles. The drink did not last long, and it served only to liberate the spirit of recklessness. The several white outlaws began to prowl around the camp; some of the Mexicans did likewise; others waited, showing by their ill-concealed expectancy the nature of their thoughts. It was the demeanor of Stewart and his comrades that puzzled Madeline. Apparently they felt no anxiety or even particular interest. Don Carlos, who had been coverty watching them, now made a secret commitment to agree. The guerrilla leader seemed undecided, but not in any sense puzzled. In her growing excitement Madeline had not clearly heard Ambrose's low whispers and she made an effort to distract some of her attention from those below to the cowboy crouching beside her. The quality, the note of Ambrose's whisper had changed. It had a slight shilgent sound. "Don't be mad if suddenly like I clip my hands over your eyes, Miss Hammond," he was saying. "Something's brew' in below. I never seen Gene so cool. That's a dangerous sign in him. And look, see how the boys are workin' together! Oh, it's slow and accident-like, but I know it's sure not accident. That foxy Greaser knows, too. But maybe his men don't. If they are wise they haven't sense enough to care. The Don, though—he's worried. It's Nels and Monty he's watchin'. And well he need do it! There, Nick and Frank have settled down on that log with BooY. They don't seem to be packin' guns. But look how heavy their vests hang. A gun in each side! Those boys can pull a gun and flop over that log quicker than you can think. Do you notice how Nels and Monty are square between them guerrillas and the trail up here? It doesn't seem on purpose, but it is. Look at Nels and Monty. How quiet they are confabblin' together, paying no attention to the guerrillas. I see Nels look at Gene, then I see Nels look at Gene. Well, it's up to Gene. And they're got to back him. I reckon, Miss Hammond, there long ago if Nels and Monty were foot-lose. They're beholdin' to Gene. That's plain. And, Lord! how it tickles me to watch them! Both New York, Aug. 2.—Capt. Edison C. McVey, colored, who has been doing stunt flying with Lept. Herbert Julian, darewevil parachute jumper, fell from a plane Friday and is now in the hospital in a serious condition. --- packin' two forty-fives, butts swinng' clear. There's twenty-four shots in them four guns. And there's twenty-three guerrillas. If Nels and Monty ever throw guns at that close range, why, before you'd know what was up there'd be a pile of Greasers. There! Stewart said something to the Don. I wonder what. I'll gamble it was something to get the Don's outfit all close together. Sure! Greasers have no sense. But them white guerrillas, they're lookin' some dubious. What're comin' off will come soon, you can bet. I wish I was down there. But maybe it won't come to a scrap. Stewart's set on avoidin' that. He's a wonderful chap to get his way. Lord, though, I'd like to see him go after that overbearn' Greaser! See! the Don can't stand prosperity. All this strange behavior of cowboys is beyond his pulque-soaked brains. Then he's a Greaser. If Gene doesn't knock him on the head presently he'll begin to get over his scare, even of Nels and Monty. But Gene I'll pick out the right time. Never saw Nels in but one fight, then he just shot a Greaser's arm off for tryin' to draw on him. But I've heard all about him. And Monty Monty's the real old-fashioned gunman. What I don't understand is how Monty keeps so quiet and easy and peaceful-like. That's not his way, with such an outfit lookin' for trouble. O-ha! Now for the grand bluff. Looks like no fight at all!" The guerrilla leader had ceased his restless steps and glances, and turned to Stewart with something of bold resolution in his aspect. "Gracias, senor," he said. "Adios. He swept his sombrero in the direction of the trail leading down the mountain to the ranch; and as he completed the gesture a smile, crafty and jeering, crossed his swarthy race. Ambrose whispered so low that Madeline scarcely heard him. "If the Greaser goes that way he'll find our horses and get wise to the trick. Oh, he's wise now! But I'll gamble he never starts on that trail. He hurriedly guarded Stewart rose out of his leaning posture and took a couple of long strides toward Don Carlos. "Go back the way you came," he fairly yelled; and his voice had the ring of a bugle. Ambrose nudged Madeline his whisper was tense and rapid: "Don't miss nothin'. Gene's called him. Whatever his comin' off will be here quick as lightnin'. See! I guess maybe that Greaser don't savvy good U. S. lingo. Look at that dirty yaller face turn green. Put one eye on Nels and Monty! That's great—just to see you. Just as quiet and easy. But oh, the difference! Bent and stiff—that means every muscle is like a rawhide rlata. They're watchin' with eyes that can see the workin' of them Greasers' minds. Now there ain't a hoss-hair between them Greasers and h—1!" Don Carlos gave Stewart one long malignant stare; then he threw back his head, swept up the sombrer, and his evil smile showed gleaming teeth. With magnificent bound Stewart was upon him. The guerrilla's cry was throttled in his throat. A fierce wrestling ensued, too swift to see clearly; then heavy, sodden blows, and Don Carlos was beaten to the ground. Stewart leaped back. Then, crouching with his hands on the butts of guns at his hips, he yelled, he thundered at the guerrillas. He had been quicker than a panther, and now his voice was so terrible that it curried Madeline's blood, and the menace of deadly violence in his crouchning position made her shut her eyes. But she had to open them. In that single instant Nels and Monty had leaped to Stewart's side. Both were bent down, with hands on the butts of guns at their hips. Nels' piercing yell seemed to divide Monty's roar of rage. Then they ceased, and echoes clipped from the crags. The silence of those three men crouching like tigers about to leap was more menacing than the nerve-racking yells. Then the guerrillas wavered and broke and ran for their horses. Don Carlos rolled over, rose, and staggered away, to be helped upon his mount. He looked back, his pale and bloody face that of a thwarted demon. The whole band got into action and were gone in a moment. "I knew it," declared Ambrose. "Never seen a Greaser who could face gun-play. That was some warm. And Monty Price never flashed a gun! He'll never get over that. I reckon, Miss Hammond, we some luck to avoid trouble. Gene had his way, as you see. We'll be makein' tracks for the ranch in about two shakes." "Why?" whispered Madeline, breathlessly. She became conscious that she was weak and shaken. "Because the guerrillas sure will get their nerve back, and come sneakin' on our trail or try to head us off by ambushin'," replied Ambrose. "That's their way. Otherwise three cowbirds couldn't bluff a whole group like that. Gene they're white-livered. But I reckon we're in more danger now than before, unless we get a good start down the mountain. There! Gene's callin' Come! Hurry!" Helen had slipped down from her vantage point, and therefore had not seen the last act in that little campfire drama. It seemed, however, that Gene was ready to defend, for her face was pale and she trembled when she asked if the guerrillas were gone. Ambrose hurried the three women over the rough rocks, down the cliff. The cowbirds below were saddling horses in haste. Swiftly, with regard only for life and limb, Madeline, Helen, and Christine were lowered by lassesses and half carried down to the level. By the time they were safely down the (To be continued next week) (K. N. F. Service.) New York, Aug. 2—Charles T.

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 thelr peaks, and practically all have vegetable gardens. Wild roses and Scotch bluebells grow in the fields. “He rubs his eyes and exclaims, “This can't be Alaska!’ But it 1s, and Alaskans would have their fellow- Americans recover from the idea, ‘due to misleading textbooks of generations gone,’ that theirs is a ‘forbidding, ice- covered, glacier-crowned land of dog- teams and polar bears.’ The quotation 4s from the most recent report of the territorial government, and it. is re- peated at every opportunity. “The Alaskans are not denying marked climatic differences frou? the states. A novelist recently sent the proof of a serial story he was writing toa native. This writer had the piteh- dark of a Fourth of July night illuml- nated by fireworks. The fireworks were all right—the Alaskan celebrates with the rest of us—but there 1s 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 chil- dren to bed and takes you to a dance or to the ‘movies’ it 1s a queer sensa- tion ot walk home in daylight. “The town of flowers and birds and gardens is Tanana, Turning into the river of that name the visitor is as- sailed by less pleasant evidences that Alaska 1s not all winter. Mosquitoes and moosefiies 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 ts Nenana, now the termints 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 Ne- nane a busy little town of neat build- ings and up-to-date stores. So anxious are its citizens for a ‘spotless town’ {deal that they prohibit any dogs with- in a mile of their community. “The next town is Chena, which hopes to wrest future laurels from Fairbanks as the St. Louls of inland Alaska. Electric Lighted Chicken Coops, Then Fairbanks! Here, as in Daw- son, sandwiches once cost a dollar apiece, fortunes were dug up and squandered, and the hilarity of a big city’s night life extended through the 24 daylight hours. “Today Fairbanks retains little trace of a mining town. It has elec- tric Mghts, stores, telephones, an ag- ricultural college, jitneys run out to nearby towns and camps, and its ‘women are reputed to be the most mod- ishly dressed in the territory. “The electric Nghting plant Is-used for the chicken houses as well as homes in the dark winter, small farms and dairles are springing up around the city, and thelr celery, growers in- sist, is on Fairbanks tables before that of Massachusetts reaches Boston con- sumers. “Fairbanks has its slogan, too, lke its sister cities back in the states, It wants more roads and railroads, and capital for development of its sur- rounding coal fields. Therefore its ap- peal, 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 Bercivick of Kenmore, 0., was fined $5 and costs, According to the court, Bereivick was ‘the cause of the accident, so the driver was exonerated.

Gilles ‘Whether one’s leisure hours are a blessing or otherwise depends upon the man, ‘The leisure hours might be more killing to the man than his working hours. ‘The question is, ire, the leisure hours depoted to’ self improvement efforts? Eight, hours work, eight hours leis. ure, eight hours sleep, seem to be the natural division of the twenty-four hours. With less than eight hours work it is doubtful if production could be kept up and prices kept down to anything reasonable.’ But what of the leisure hours? There are the evening schools of nearly all kinds where one may strug- gle for self-improvement, There are the public libraries an¢ churches and other institutions where one may struggle for self-improve- ment. Promotion comes to one who uses part of his leisure hours in struggle for self-improvement.
