CLOSES IN DETROIT WHEN PAY STOPS Stars of Company, Back in New York, Tell of Reasons for Returning Cast Peeved Because They Were Forced to Suffer a Cut in Salaries (Courier Service.) New York, Nov. 1.—Many were the comments last week when a large number of the people with the "How Come?" company were seen on Seventh avenue. The sudden arrival of these people at a time when it was expected they would be on the road filling dates which, we understand, had been secured shortly before they left here, caused Dame Rumor to come forth with all kinds of wordy speculations, and it did not take long for us to get at the seat of the trouble. It would seem that a number of the people with the show felt aggrieved because they were forced to suffer a 20 per cent cut in their salaries, the owner of the show, Bert Harris, stipulating that as soon as business "picked up" he would return to the old scale. Business "picked up" in a short while to the satisfaction of almost a score of the people, and as they went on the stage nightly and saw what they insist were "big houses," they could not understand why a cut in salary should be maintained. Of course, we have not heard of any of these people questioning the financial resources of the same man they hailed with so much acclaim a short time before, going to the extent of making him a fine present on the occasion of his wedding, and it was quite a shock to the said Harris when he found that he either had to "come through" with full salaries or close the show. Close it was and the people lost no time getting back to little New York. It is said that the action of quite a number with the production did not square with their professed love of Mr. Harris when it became known that drastic measures had to be restorted to if the show had to remain out, and we understand that Eddie Hunter, George Cooper and a few others in important parts felt somewhat aggrieved at the hasty action of certain of their fellow workers. Hunter and Cooper, we have it, will head a tabloid musical offering at Mrs. Down's New Lincoln theater commencing next week. Knowing them as well as we do, we feel certain that whatever they have to offer will be received with great delight by Lincoln audiences and we would not be surprised to see them remaining much longer than the two weeks usual for a musical mind of offering at this house. Hunter has a number of little musical comedy skits that would find favor at the Lincoln, and with the assistance of George Cooper, they should duplicate the run of Henderson and Mason. DEBS DISLIKES NO MAN BECAUSE OF HIS COLOR Socialistic Leader Addresses Mixed Audience at Casino in New York (K. N. F. Service.) New York, Nov. 8.—Eugene V. Debs, Socialist leader, addressed about 2,000 people in the Commonwealth Casino, last Tuesday evening on "The Negro Problem." His audience was composed of both white and colored citizens. The noted Socialist said that he was thankful that at no time had he ever experienced a dislike for his fellowman because of creed, nationality or color. "From the beginning of my life my heart has been with the colored people on a basis of common equality. I want nothing for myself that they haven't got. If one of them shines my shoe, then I am perfectly willing to shine his, too. If I were not then I'd be his moral inferior." Mr. Debs told of his experience in the Atlanta penitentiary, and how he fought discrimination against colored prisoners there. "I left Atlanta," he said, "feeling as if 3,000 prisoners were all members of my own family. There's not one I don't have admitted to my own family." "The race question," he continued, "resolves itself into a class question. The great employers of labor want cheap labor, and they don't care whether it is wrapped up in a white hide or a black one." "As long as you are willing to be menials and servants and slaves that's all you'll be. You must unite and stand together. As long as you drift apart you'll receive contempt, and you'll deserve it. You have brain, intelligence; you have just as mucn in you that is as capable as the white man. Use is." Debs was presented with a large bouquet of flowers carried by two little girls—one white, the other black. He kissed them both. Other speakers were, James Oneal, Judge Jacob Panken, A. Phillip Randolph, editor of the Messenger; Mrs Lucile Randolph, his wife, who is candidate for slderman on the Socialist ticket, and others. Receives Eighth Appointment Dr. H. P. Jones, former pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, this city, and now pastor of St. James church, Pittsburgh, has just received his eighth appointment to that church and has been elected a delegate to the General Conference. Dr. Jones will arrive in the city late in November for a few weeks' visit with his family at 779 Carroll avenue. FRENCH DESERT DUBOIS' PAN-AFRICAN MEETING Defection in Ranks of Congress Result in French Deputy Resigning (Afro-American News Service.) New York, Nov. 10.—Dr. W. E. B. DuBois is on the high seas en route to London, England, where he expects to call the Third Pan-African Congress together November 8 and 9. An adjourned session will be held later in Lisbon, Portugal. Defection in the ranks of the congress resulting in the resignation of M. Gratien, Candace, deputy from Baudeloupe in the French parliament, and M. Issac Beton, assistant professor in a Parisian lycee, president and secretary, respectively, of the congress, has not daunted Dr. DuBois, who sailed from this port last week confident that the London meeting will in some respect surpass the other annual sessions, both held in Paris. Colored Frenchmen are said to be chary of the Pan-African congress because they fear it may have the radical tendencies developed by the Garvey movement in America. They are also satisfied with the manner in which the French government is dealing with the colonies in Africa and cannot understand the Race problem as it exists in other parts of Africa and in the United States. Dr. DuBois before sailing was not worried by the withdrawal of the president and secretary of the congress. The call and the organization of the first two conferences had been altogether in his hands, and he felt that even if the French dropped out, he could succeed in rallying other European black and white who would fill their places. Not a Racial Movement Explaining to the European press his reason in calling the Third Pan-African Congress, Dr. DuBois said: "It has seemed to many, thinking Negroes in this part of the universe, that something should be done to bring the Negro world into common understanding and acquaintanceship in order that in conjunction with the advancing thought of the rest of the world they should work for the uplift and emancipation of black folk. This is the thought underlying the Pan-African movement. It has, of course, aroused widespread curiosity and suspicion. "Many have thought that like Pan-Germanism and Pan-Slavism and Pan-Islamism the Negroes were forming a militant movement of hate against the world. This is not true. Of course every group movement is tempted toward group selfishness and the dislike and depreciation of its neighbors, but Pan-Africanism holds a higher ideal. It hopes to bring about the peace of world democracy through the inclusion of all in opposition to the idea of aristocracy of races where the backward are to be permanently ruled by the forward. We American Negroes therefore hope that the third congress although small and tentative may mark a step forward in the development of mankind." NEW POLITICAL LEAGUE STARTED The new political league got under way when a large number of colored people who have exemplified their interest in the cause of the Race and who have been active in politics in the city, county and state held a meeting at Mr. George C. Shannon's residence, 1021 Colne street, Thursday evening, November 8. The meeting was held for the purpose of organizing a political party that will best serve the interest of the colored voters of this great commonwealth. George C. Shannon was elected temporary chairman and Atty. O. J. Smith temporary secretary. The name of the organization was unanimously designated the Colored Voters League. There is planned a big mass meeting to be held November 22, the place to be announced later, at which time the organization will be perfected. THE APPEAL. ST. PAUL AND MINNEAPOLIS, MINN., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1923 URGES BANK ADS IN NEWSPAPERS Banker Tells National Association They Are Essential Aids to Business Building. PRESENTS PRACTICAL PLAN Savings Bank Division of the American Bankers Association Offers Prepared Newspaper Advertising Service to Cover a Year's Campaign. More newspaper advertising by banks as a business builder was strongly urged at the recent convention of the American Bankers Association by W. R. Morehouse of the organization's Savings Bank Division. He backed up his 'plea with definite action to stimulate advertising by savings banks by calling the attention of the members to a prepared newspaper advertising service developed by his division comprising copy to meet their requirements for a year's advertising schedule. "It is my firm conviction that banks can use newspaper advertising with great success," Mr. Morehouse said. "Newspapers go into the homes—by their use as a medium the people of a whole community may be reached in a single day. Because a bank cannot directly trace a large volume of new business to newspaper advertising does not prove that the medium is ineffective as a business-builder. "The fact that there are certain kinds of newspaper advertising which do not produce good results ought not to brand the medium as ineffective, any more than the fact that because a certain booklet or certain business-building letter fails to pull would warrant you in branding all booklets and all letters as non-productive mediums. How to Advertise "Newspaper advertising must be attractive and easily read if it is to produce good results. If the subject presented is not to the point, is too deeply involved for the average mind to grasp readily, is too full of big and uncommon words, it is only natural that it will not be read. If bank advertising is to accomplish its purpose it must be very simple. "Discuss only the subjects which will make it easy for the public to patronize your bank. Advertise your bank, its financial stability, its officers, directors and stockholders and you will build prestige and strengthen public confidence in your institution. Enumerate the various kinds of service your bank is prepared to render. It has been my experience that the public is on the lookout for information about banks, banking methods and the kinds of service rendered by banks. For quick results I am a firm believer in sticking to subjects which have a direct bearing on banks, banking methods and service, until the public has become better informed about banks and the wide variety of services rendered by them. A New Plan "If you have not been successful with newspaper advertising try this plan. Confine your advertising within the scope of banking and especially enumerate the various services which your bank is prepared to offer. Boll down every advertisement to one hundred words or less, preferably less. Use headings which arouse interest at a glance. For example, a head IN TEREST FROM DATE' will inspire action on the part of persons with idle funds to deposit because interest starts from the time savings accounts are opened. A heading 'PROTEC TION FOR YOUR VALUABLES' will inspire action on the part of persons in need of protection." HOW TO CATCH FAKE STOCK SALESMEN Some state bankers' associations are distributing an investor's questionnaire with the idea of protecting purchasers of securities from fake stock salesmen. "Whenever you are solicited to purchase stock or other securities, use this questionnaire before investing any of your funds," says one of these. "The questionnaire was compiled to protect the small investor and to emphasize the necessity of investigating thoroughly every investment proposition before placing any money therein. When you have been furnished with the information called for in this questionnaire, take it to any one of the banking institutions in your community and get its opinion of the stock offered. If the stock salesman refuses to fill out this questionnaire, have nothing more to do with his proposition, as it is evident that he is fostering a fraudulent promotion." The questionnaire pins the salesman down to answering the following questions: Date Name of company Name of stock offered Kind of stock offered Total issue of stock Stock given for property Stock given for patents Stock given for patents Are you taking any Liberty Bonds? If so, at what price? Amount of interest paid Par value of stock Market price of stock Has the stock been equity market? Has the stock been debt? In the stock accepted by banks as collateral for loans? What loans have accepted it to your knowledge? What are the present net earnings?

FORMER ST. PAUL MAN DIES: BURIED HERE Robert C. Howard Succumbs to Paralytic Stroke In Waterloo, Iowa Burial services for Mr. Robert C. Howard of Winnipipe, Man., were held at the Howard family lot, Oak and cemetery, Tuesday morning, at 11 o'clock. Rev. A. H. Lealtad officiating. Mr. Howard was an old settler of this city. He came to St. Paul from Zenia, Ohio, his birthplace, when he was 18 years old, and entered the Great Northern railway service. Three years later he married Miss Cornelia Armstrong, and together they raised a family of eight children. Mr. Howard learned the barber trade in the shop of a relative in Hudson, Wis., and then opened a shop of his own in St. Paul. He kept this shop and continued in the Great Northern service until 1907, when he moved his family to Winnipipe, Can., and they have made their home ever since. His wife passed away a few years later, and he was married a second time to Miss Sarah Buford of Winnipipe. About three years ago he had a paralytic stroke from which he never fully recovered. He and his wife passed through St. Paul last June on their way from Winnipipe to Waterloo, Iowa, to visit a daughter, Mrs. Carrie Jones, with the hope that Mr. Howard would entirely recuperate. He passed away quietly on the evening of October 31. Funeral services were held for him Sunday, November 4, in the chapel of the Kister mortuary, Waterloo, Iowa, conducted by Father Lewis of the Methodist Episcopal church. His body was then brought to St. Paul for interment by his daughter, Mrs. Girlie Bakeman. Mr. Howard is survived by his wife, three sons, Robert, Armstrong and Donald; three daughters, Mrs. Girlie Bakeman of Winnipipe, Mrs. Cora Banks, Buffalo, and Mrs. Carrie Jones, Waterloo, and eight grandchildren. Mrs. T. H. Lyles had charge of the funeral arrangements. Miss Queenie K. Johnson, office assistant for Dr. V. D. Turner, has been taken into the laboratory of St. John's hospital, to work with the pathologist every morning until she becomes proficient in laboratory work. This unusual opportunity, the first of its kind to be given to our group in this city, was secured for Miss Johnson through Dr. Turner's influence, whose laboratory work she will be prepared to do when she has finished her course. WHY INDUSTRY IS MISUNDERSTOOD Geo. E. Roberts Tells How Cooperative Character of Corporations Is Obscured. RADICAL AGITATION RESULTS Maintenance of Present Industrial System Necessary to Maintain Present Standards of Comfort for All the People, He Says. The modern industrial system is at bottom a co-operative organization, but this fact is obscured by the complexity of huge enterprises, George E. Roberts, noted authority on business and finance, declared in a recent speech before the American Bankers Association Convention at Atlantic City, N. J. "The primitive man knew that the harder he worked the more he would have," Mr. Roberts said. "When a man exchanged work with a neighbor he had the whole transaction under his eyes. But when a man works with thousands of others for a great corporation he doesn't see any definite relationship between what he does and what he gets. He doesn't know whether he is getting a fair share of the industrial results or not, and he suspects not. "The modern industrial system is essentially co-operative, but you cannot have effective co-operation without understanding. Because people do not see the industrial organization as a whole we have the tendency for society to break up into groups and blocs and unions and organizations of one kind and another, many of whom are trying to advance their own interests at the expense of society as a whole. The population of this country today could not be supported in the state of comfort to which it is accustomed without the modern, specialized organization. Bolshevism in Russia "The extremity of social disorganization has been seen in Russia, where has been enacted the greatest tragedy in the history of the world. What happened there will happen everywhere unless there is a development of the capacity of people to work together and understand each other. "In its final form the revolution in Russia was against what is called the capitalistic system, or the private ownership of property and direction of industry. The results of the revolution are so calamitous in Russia as to give a check to revolutionary tendencies in other countries. Yet the economic principles of Bolshevism are influencing public opinion more or less everywhere. "The motive behind all this agitation is the desire to establish equality. The social struggles of the past have been for political equality. Now the demand is for equality in possessions, equality in incomes, equality in the management of industrial affairs. There is no argument against the aspirations of men for better social conditions, but radical ideas result from certain economic fallacies. One relates to the employment and service of private capital. Men read about vast sums of wealth belonging to individuals, and think of these sums as devoted exclusively to the owners. In fact wealth employed in production for the public market is rendering service to the entire community, no matter who owns it. "The whole radical argument is like claiming that nobody ever got any benefit from the development of the steam engine but the owners of steam engines. Of course, the theory only needs to be stated for the fallacy to be apparent. The man who works for wages is benefited by every investment of capital which increases and cheapens the supply of the things for which his wages are spent. The Service of Capital "It is a fundamental truth that all productive property, alkohole privately owned, is part of the equipment of society, by which its wants are supplied. "The progress of the past has been accomplished under the individualistic system. The theory of this system is that every one shall have for his own, as nearly as may be, that which results from his own efforts. It is a system calculated to stimulate the initiative, call out the energies and develop the ability of each individual. He is free as to his undertakings; there are no restrictions except that he must seek his own gains by activities that are serviceable to the community as a whole, and he is inspired to labor, not simply by the desire for personal advantage, but by the desire to provide for loved ones, by the impulse to self-expression, to realize and develop his natural abilities, and by the ambition to achieve, to win distinction and to render service. "It does not promise equality. Unless there is equality in production, in service, in effort, in resolution and in self-denial, why should there be equality in the division of results? "The justification of individualism, however, is not merely in what it allows to the superior individual, but in the results that inure to all. It is in the interest of all to secure the most effective organization, the most effective management and the largest possible production. These cannot be had by adopting the fiction that all have equal ability for any position, or by any other system than that which judges men by their individual qualifications."

ORGANIZATION OF "Y" BRANCH UNDER WAY ORGANIZATION OF "Y" BRANCH UNDER WAY Three Mass Meetings to be Held at Club Center; Public Is Invited Mrs. Cordelia A. Winn, national field secretary of the Young Women's Christian Association, will arrive in the city Monday morning for a two-weeks' stay in which she will begin the organization of a branch Y. W. C. A. formerly known as the Club Center and located at 598 West Central avenue. Five weeks ago Miss Amy M. Hall arrived in the city to begin her work as executive secretary. Miss Hall has been laying the foundation for her work and feels that St. Paul offers a splendid field for the Y. W. C. A. program. Three mass meetings will be held at the Club Center building next week to which everyone in the community is invited. On Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, all of the club women, mothers and daughters will hear Mrs. Winn present plans for the starting of the branch.

Friday afternoon, November 16, at 4:30, there will be a meeting for 7th and 8th grade and high school girls at which time the Girl Reserve program will be presented. The purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association is to give to all women more abundant life. We aim to do this by developing our women in a fourfold manner, socially, mentally, physically and spiritually. Won't you, as loyal Race citizens, co-operate in giving to our girls and women this additional opportunity to grow? FILIPINO MUST DIE IN ELECTRIC CHAIR (K. N. F. Service.) New York, Nov. 8.—Eulogia Lozado, a young Filipino, charged with the murder of Blossom Martin, a white girl, was found guilty of murder in the first degree, Saturday morning. The jury retired the day before at 3:34 P. M. and deliberated over ten hours. The girl was murdered last June in the home of a physician who employed both of them. While not a Negro, Lozado charged that he had been persecuted by policemen and detectives and as a result of the torture he had been subjected to he confessed that he had deliberately killed the girl soon after he was arrested. With the body of the young woman wrapped in a portierie Lozado was in the act of throwing it into the river when he was taken into custody. Testifying in his own defense, the little brown-skinned man told the jury that he and the girl had indiscret relations, that he had given her money and that he killed her in self-defense. The girl, he further stated, had attacked him with a butcher knife the night he strangled her to death. He will be sentenced Friday (K N F Service.) (K. N. F. Service). New York, Nov. 7—A colored elevator operator working on West 119th street, a young resident of George Mills, a young man only 19 years of age of 207 West 121st street, also colored, on a charge of burglary, last week. Mills is alleged to have had articles of clothing worth considerable money in his possession at the time he was arrested. The clothing had been stolen from apartments. (K. N. F. Service). New York, Nov. 8.—Four days after he was released from the workhouse, where he had been confined for three months for picking pockets, Jeffrey Mills, 30, 117 West 133d St., was arrested by detectives for the same kind of offense. The judge sent him to prison for six months. $2.00 PER YEAR ASKRACETOHONOR SOLDIER DEAD BY APPEAL FOR LIVING National Equal Rights League to Honor Dead Soldiers November 11 Every Church in Country to Appeal for Pardon of Houston Martyrs Boston, Mass., Nov. 3.—Today the following fifth Armistice Day anniversary request to the Race was issued by the National Headquarters of the National Equal Rights League. Fellow Colored Americans: Let not, if we of colored America can help it, our soldiers of the World War to have died in vain. As the 5th anniversary of the Armistice Day victory impends let us, without sloth, call upon the nation's head for that pledged world democracy for the colored millions of Americans whose soldiers fought and died with loyalty and courage and helped win the victory. October 6, 1923, the National Equal Rights League, standing before the President of the United States in the White House, read to him the Race's petition for redress of wrongs. Putting the petition in the President's hands, the league spokesman made argument, stressing these two measures as directly in the President's jurisdiction, as follows: "To free by pardon or on parole the colored soldiers of the gallant 24th in Fort Leavenworth federal prison already incarcerated too long for retaliation (poorly proven or not proven at all), against goading insult and provocation and insult to women of their race." "To take cognizance of the segregation remaining from the last Southern democratic administration, or enlarged since, of the colored employees of the federal government itself in the very federal government buildings, in the executive departments of which you are the supreme head, and to abolish it altogether by executive or somehow thus undoing direct humiliation and hurtful degradation of citizens by the U. S. A. itself. Most earnestly do we pray this as to your department and pray you to tell us now." The league appeals to every colored church in the U. S. A. to observe Armistice Day, November 11, 1923, by sending its request as a church through the church club to President Coolidge at the White House to pardon the colored soldier-martyr prisoners; to all colored citizens to so write or telegraph the President, November 10 or 11; and to every Race body, civic, social, literary, fraternal or political to do so within Armistice week. These messages must necessarily help the signed petition movement already under way. Every agency should work for these martyrs and Armistice Day action has its own special weight. Especially does the league urge that in all messages there be included a strong protest against the continued segregation of colored clerks of the federal government itself, which the league investigated on October 7 and found to be a dastardly fact. A universal demand sent the President for the discontinuance of this violation of true democracy is a vital necessity if we are to be true to our soldiers and hero dead on the 5th anniversary of the great victory which they helped to win. Act now, as one for all, and all for one, for rights and liberty. NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE. OFFICER HOMER GOINS ARRESTS AUTO THIEVES Victims Were Scheduled to Appear on Fight Card at Rose Room The fight card at the Rose Room of the Recreation Hall, Hamm building, was called off last Tuesday night because the two men who were scheduled thereon were arrested at 11 o'clock Sunday night, by Officer J. Homer Goins, for stealing automobiles. The two men, with three companions were about to enter a stolen car at Sherburne avenue and Dale street, when Officer Goins, attracted by their peculiar actions, tried to stop them. They refused to stop, and three shots were fired by the officer before they could be caught. Three seconds passed before he was resting the first two, the officer went back to the district and brought the other three to jail. Their cases came up Tuesday morning. They waived examination, and were bound 'over to the district court. The daily papers gave accounts of this incident, but did not mention the name of the officer who made the arrests. Officer Goins is to be commended for his action in this case. He has not only added a "feather to his cap" as far as his position is concerned, but he has made a good cleanup of joyriders in the University and Dale district. 2 POLITICAL LEADERSHIP "A Philadelphia man, wanting to get a good school started, once wrote and circulated a pamphlet, crediting the project, not to himself, but to some public-spirited gentleman, avoiding as much as I could, according to my usual rule, of presenting myself to the public as the author of any scheme for their benefit.' That was Benjamin Franklin, the year 1749, and the quoted words are from Franklin's autobiography. This being the open season for projects, we commend his method to those setting forth on enterprises for the public benefit. Folks like to boost a good cause, but don't care about boosting its agents and officers." The above quotation was taken from Collier's. As the politically inclined are looking forward to the coming struggle, we think it is a most excellent one to keep in mind. Our group locally has suffered most acutely from the lack of a spirit of individual modesty. If a movement is put forth, if a law is put through, if an organization is established which has a potential force for good, immediately the few who have taken unto themselves the dictatorship of all things racial, jump into the limelight, and the good of the cause is forgotten in the struggle that ensues over the leadership. The enthusiasm which leaders so frequently feel necessary to carry out an inspiration makes them lose sight of the part the followers are to play, which causes a loss of confidence in the rank, and disrupts the organization. Nearly all the movements for the general good have suffered materially because of this spirit. It would be amusing if it were not so far-reaching in its effect to contemplate upon such leadership. First they take every means available to impress upon our people that they are loyal to their Race, and then they seize every opportunity to entrench themselves as tools for the other group. Racial adjustment means to them racial inferiority. With the approaching election there will arise need for co-operation between all our various organizations—civic, religious and fraternal—the leadership of which must reflect the judgment of the majority, rather than the individual aspirations of the self-appointed leaders. At the present time we are facing a political crisis. Never before has there been such dissension and revolt in the ranks of the old line parties. If we are to make our political organization reflect the wishes of the majority, we must lay aside our petty striving for leadership, and unite in one concerted effort to make our influence felt. AN ANSWER (From The Union.) THE UNION is now an independent paper, the organ of no party, church or lodge. It is opposed to the Ku Klux Klan. For judges, we favor the Republican candidates, Bell, Alexander, Eyrich. We know them personally, and have always found them disposed to do the square thing. We have nothing to say against the Democratic candidates, except that we do not know them. We can say the same concerning Mr. Lohman, Democratic candidate for auditor. Mr. Alfred E. Deckebach, Republican candidate, is all right towards colored people, and does not have an attack of blind staggers, should he meet one in the streets after the election. In regard to the bond issues, the opinion of Seasongood, an ex-member of the Republican committee, is worthy of consideration. Naturally, if they fail of passage, the police department, fire department and street improvements will suffer. "But we should worry." We colored people have no part in governing this city. We can vote, we can "shoot craps" and we can derive great food for thought in looking at the houses of prostitution in the West End. But when we think of the rent and taxes, when we think of the colored men who will be employed as laborers to do the work that few white men want, when we think of the little handful of colored police, kept way out on the hill, far from the rich pickings of the downtown wards, when we think of the number of fire companies and firemen in this city and not a single one of them colored! We should say, and we do say, about those bond issues, H—! "WE SHOULD WORRY"—Dahney. The FLORSHEIM SHOE for the man who cares Florsheim Shoe Stores 16 West Seventh Street 421 Robert Street ROBERT FITZGERALD DIES SUDDENLY (K. N. F. Service.)

New York, Nov. 8.—Alfred Schneider, 63, of 305 West 142d street, took suddenly ill while riding in an elevator in the apartment house at 875 Park avenue, and died before a doctor could be summoned. He was taken to the Reception hospital where physicians said he had died of heart failure. YOUR HAND How to Read Your Characteristics and Tendencies—the Capabilities or Weaknesses That Make for Success or Failure as Shown in Your Palm CARRIAGE AND MOTIONS OF THE HANDS PROBABLY every one has seen the person who carries the left hand and forearm across the front of the body, with the hand drooping at the wrist, while the right forearm is carried vertically, and doubled back on the biceps. The right hand droops at the wrist and frequently carries some trifle, such as a pair of eyeglasses, which is whirled or twirled gently as the person walks. The restless person, uncertain in purpose, with emotions that vary rapidly, seems to find no resting-place for his or her hands. They are always in motion, fingering the watch chain, or a button, or something else. "These people are very often very strong characters but need directing," says one well-known writer on the hand. Man Falls 300 Feet; Walks to Ambulance Life for Arthur Schneider, steeplejack, has resolved itself into one fall after another. While painting a smokestack at New Haven, Conn., the rope broke and he fell 300 feet. At the end of the plunge he struck the roof of an engine house and bounced over the edge for a further drop of 20 feet. As the ambulance reached him Schneider regained consciousness, scanned the distance he had fallen, and walked to the waiting vehicle. Physicians say he will be in a condition to complete the job in a few days.

TRAVELING A good custom is better than a law—Euripides. OUR friends are beginning to travel again. Now it is more like old times, and if our friends go abroad they go with lighter hearts and with more baggage. Therefore it is quite the thing to give them little gifts and, if they want us to, to see them off. Be sure, though, that you are wanted. Nothing is more embarrassing than to arrive unexpectedly on the deck of a steamer to find the friend you have gone to see off surrounded by an invited party of which you are not a member. So don't go unless you are quite certain that you are wanted, both for your sake and for the sake of the traveler. As for the gifts you send, be sure that they are really desirable, and not merely something that will fill up the steamer trunk and bags. If you know of some traveling accessory of which your friend stands in need, that is a good choice. A book is never amiss because after it is read it can be left on shipboard if it is in the way. Candy, although it is a conventional present, and one of the few things that a man is supposed to give to a woman, is nevertheless not a very good choice. A great many persons even though they enjoy ocean travel are particularly careful not to indulge in sweets. Flowers, another of the conventional gifts of men to women, are always in perfectly good taste. However, they are sometimes in the way in the stateroom. If you know that anyone dislikes flowers on the steamer don't send them. As in all other cases where gifts are concerned a man may send flowers, candy or books to a woman. Books in this case include magazines, and sometimes half a dozen current magazines are as welcome a gift as anyone could receive. They provide just the kind of reading that some people like on shipboard and can be discarded without a qualm when their reader is through with them. The Secret of Success "Lydia contrived to look well-dressed, having early in her career discovered that the putting on of clothes is more than half the battle. Wear rags with enough of an air, a style, conviction, and you may boldly take the social face."—From "The Survivors," by Lucas Malet. Cupid's Feet. "No," said the woman, emphatically to her London neighbor. "I don't hold with these 'ere therms. When I says gas I mean gas, and I likes to know what I'm payin' for. Therms, indeed! Why can't we 'ave it like we used to 'ave it by the Cupld's feet?" Can Read Both Ways to the Middle. In the ancient city of Bagdad is a religious cult called the "star-worshipers." They turn to the north star to pray, must be baptized every Sunday, and they have a sacred book which they can begin at either end and read toward the middle. Furniture Polish To make furniture polish, dissolve two ounces of shellac in one pint of boiled oil; shake well and add two ounces each of ammonia and chloroform. Shake and apply with a soft brush without rubbing. Didn't Halt Police Marlon, O.-Cries of "I'm taking a bath," failed to keep police from breaking through a bathroom door-at the home of Mrs. Julia Sneckenberger and seizing her on a charge of bootlegging. They are said to have secured considerable "evidence." C. F. Dombaugh was caught as he was making an exit through a window and will also face a bootlegging charge. Saturday. November 10. 1923. WHERE THE RAINBOW TOUCHES THE GROUND THE family cat died. The farmer who owned the cat, in digging the grave discovered a substance which proved to be marl. This farmer had been hauling limestone a long distance for his alfalfa fields. In conference with his county agent, he discovered that marl would take the place of lime in correcting the acidity of his soil. This experience led him to the use of marl that existed on his own farm and saved him much time and considerable expense in hauling. Similar opportunities have existed and still exist. Many farmers in the middle west will recall what a pest sweet clover used to be. Now this pest is being used profitably as hay and pasture for livestock and as a crop to be plowed under for increasing the fertility of the soil. Kansas is called the "Sunflower State" and those who have lived there will well remember how they have fought this weed. Today sunflowers are being grown as a crop, as feed for chickens and it is also being utilized with or without corn as a suitable crop for the silo. It is surprising to discover how many things which were frowned upon in days gone by are now serving a useful purpose. These changes have been brought about by observation and study. Brains count on the farm as elsewhere. The man who thinks while he is performing physical work is not only opening up the way for larger profits but he is removing the word drudgery from his vocabulary and is transforming what used to be a drudgery into a profitable pleasure. —The Banker-Farmer. BANKERS HELP THE KIDS Northern Michigan Bankers are out to give the youngsters in their pant of the country a lift on the road to better dairying. A group of bankers met with some of the agricultural men in their section and pledged their support in backing up calf club work. A young girl holding a pig. Her Very Own Pig—A Boys and Girls Club Member Virginia, Minnesota, Bankers have faith in "kids." Meeting with a committee from the Virginia Chamber of Commerce they formulated plans for the establishment of Calf Clubs and "Pure Bred Bull Associations." Banks all over St. Louis county have pledged their support to this work. An Arkansas bank loaned a youngster $70, in 1920. The boy bought a purebred Poland China gilt from a breeder in a neighboring state. Being the first purebred gilt brought into the county for boys and girls club work she has furnished more stock than any other sow in the section. With the start that the bank gave the youngster he has been able to refute the claim that hog raising in his county was not profitable, for at the present time he has more than $1000 to his credit as a result of the original bank loan and investment. REMARKABLE SAVINGS FIGURES Remarkable progress in the savings habit in the United States is shown in figures presented to the recent convention of the American Bankers Association by Samuel H. Beach, president of its Savings Bank Division. In 1921, Mr. Beach showed, twenty six million people had savings no counts aggregating $16,618,595,000. In 1922, there was an increase of over four per cent, bringing the aggregate up to $17,300,000,000. Similar statistics for 1912 showed that the aggregate was only about half as much as in 1922 or only $8,433,000,000. Mr Beach's report on school savings banking showed that practically two million pupils are now participating in school banking systems, an increase of 34 per cent as compared with last year and 58 per cent as compared with 1921, while the total of the actual amount deposited last year was $9,618,000, as compared with $5,775,000 in 1921 and $2,800,000 in 1920, an increase of nearly $40 per cent in three years. SEE NEED OF LOAN COMPANY. Reports from Cleveland, Ohio, say that city is a splendid field for a aving and loan company properly conducted by our people. There are more than 40,000 colored people there and all are working. Many have bought homes' and other are buying them.

GREAT NORTHERN URGES SAFETY Almost daily there is reported a very large loss of life through preventable accidents, and many people who are not killed outright are maimed and crippled in such accidents. Carelessness in crossing railroad tracks was responsible for more of these accidents than any other one cause. They are public as well as individual misfortunes. Your turn may come next if you too are not careful. Recklessness on your part will menace those on the train as well as yourself. About eighty per cent of all automobile drivers do not stop or look in either direction before crossing a railroad track; in about twenty per cent of automobile crossing accidents the automobile is run into the side of a train. No such accidents could happen if automobile and other drivers were careful at every grade crossing. The train cannot turn out for the automobile, and must cross the highways at its usual speed in order to maintain the service that the people need and demand. Railroad employees and railroad companies are showing praiseworthy zeal and making rapid progress in the adoption of safety precautions and the liberal use of safety appliances in shops and switching yards as well as on the line.

In the Great war allied and German soldiers alike shunned all points where roads crossed. When a motor truck or an ambulance or an ambulance wagon neared such a point, the driver put on full speed and rushed past in the direction he had decided to follow. There was no hesitating and wavering, backing and filling. This was because it was just about as dangerous to stand at a cross roads in the combat zone as it is to stand on a railroad track. If you stood long enough at the cross roads a shell would hit you. If you stood long enough on a railroad tracks a train would hit you. The cross roads of life are just as dangerous as were the cross roads in Flanders and France. When you come to a parting of the ways, make up your mind quickly which is the right way to go, and go. Sooner or later you will come to a situation where you can save yourself a lot of trouble by departing from truth and rule of truthfulness and telling ally. That is a cross roads. If you linger at it, wondering which way to turn, vacillating between the two courses, the chances are greater that you will take the wrong road—the road of the lie. Your first impulse will be to take the course of truth. You will know it is the right road. Don't stand at the cross roads. Go full speed down the route you know is the right one. Next time you come to a cross roads with the same signs displayed, it will be easier to keep right on going. And if you select the road of truth you will come to fewer puzzling corners than you will on the road to lies. It will be much easier to stay on the right road than to get back to it. Sometimes it is impossible to get back. The same thing will be true of every road parting which you encounter. To linger there will be dangerous. To wabble back and forth between the two routes will mean that you are liable to be engulfed in a disastrous chain of circumstances before you have made your move. It is just like the soldier who stands at the cross roads until a shell searches him out and its explosion destroys him. The armies shelled all cross roads at frequent intervals because they knew that somebody was likely to be there, either because of congested traffic or because of indecision as to which way to go. Chief among your enemies are your own weaknesses and habits. They will deliberately attack you while you are at the parting of the ways.

"Be careful at grade crossings," urges Chairman Hill.

"Railroad employees and railroad companies are making rapid progress in the adoption of safety precautions and safety appliances in shops and yards and on the line. But safety only can be assured by the full cooperation of the public."
