TOLEDO PAPERS TAKE FAVORABLE STAND ON NEGRO Headlines, Stories in Dailies to Be Purged of Insulting References to Race. St. Louis Paper Changes No Color in Headlines; "Negress," "Black" Barred; "Negro" to Be Capitalized. (Associated Negro Press) Toledo, Ohio.—The Observer, published in this city by Cornelius Edwoods, has just succeeded in a campaign which had as its object respect for the Negro race, as reflected in the headlines and stories in the daily papers. Hereafter, according to rules compiled by white papers of the city, the word "Negro" is to be begun with a capital letter, and only where absolutely necessary for identification is the word to be used at all. Rules Adopted. The following rules adopted by the Toledo Blade show the nature of the stand which the dallies have taken: 1. The Blade does not want to play up the fact that any person figuring in the news is Colored, nor does it want to suppress the racial adjective in every case. The fact of color should not be stressed in the news but mentioned casually, if at all. 2. The color is never to be used in a headline. 3. The term "colored" is to be used whenever possible in place of "Negro," "Negress" must never be used, "Black" is prohibited. 4. Whenever "Negro" is used it must be capitalized. The word is seldom necessary, however, except where it is a part of the name of an organization, such as "Negro Business Men's Club," or something of the sort. St. Louis Paper Leads. The St. Louis Argus, colored, carried a story last month about a similar change of policy in The St. Louis Post-Dispatch, a white daily of St. Louis, Mo. The Post-Dispatch began the practice of using the capital "N" for the initial letter in printing the word "Negro" in its columns, and in the future, in place of using the term "negress" to refer to a colored female, it will employ the word "woman." POSTAL CLERK FALLS Richard L. Stokes, 655 Rondo St., a St. Paul postal clerk, sustained a painful injury when he slipped and fell on the icy sidewalk in front of the Maxfield school, St. Albans and St. Anthony Ave., on Tuesday evening. He is unable to work and has been confined to his bed. RABBI SPEAKS AT FIRST FORUM Developing the Topic "The Inhumanity of Man." Rabbi H. S. Margolis, of the Jewish church at Ashland Ave., and Grotto St., developing the topic, "The Inhumanity of Man," was the principal speaker at the first N. A. A. C. P. Forum of the year, held at St. James A. M. E. church last Sunday afternoon. The Rabbi stressed, power, justice, faith and the necessity of each race coming to a mutual understanding with other races. In developing the theme of Charity, he said that Jewish people have no word in their language meaning charity, but they have adopted in its place the word justice which is the correct meaning of charity. About 300 people attended the meeting and the contributions totaled $71.22. The next meeting of the Forum will be held at St. Paul Baptist church, Central Ave., and Mackubin Sts., February 14. Illinois is the home of more fraternal organizations than any other state. The St.Paul Echo Purity Bakery Inspected By Nearly 100 Eager Housewives Executive Board Members of Urban League, Speakers at Annual Meeting Jan. 28 1930 W. T. McElveen, pastor of Plymouth Congregational church, delivered the principal address of the meeting upon the subject, "If I Were a Colored Man." PETER H. HARRIS H. H. Sargent, executive board board member of Urban League, gave briefly his reason for attaching himself to such an organization. 240,000 Pounds of Bread, 7,000 Doughnuts Average Output of Plant; Has Electric, Refrigeration Systems. On its fifth educational tour, the Harriet Tubman Civic league made an inspection trip of the Purity Bakery, Robert St. at Twelfth, last week. Nearly 100 women representing other clubs, and some Minneapolis organizations made the trip. The huge factory was found to a small city in itself, with its own electric and refrigeration plants. Approximately 15 tons of coal are used daily. The plant has its own wagon, paint, blacksmith, shop and garage. Each day 40 vehicles are used in distributing the product; these vehicles receive thorough daily washings. Output Listed. Huge barrels of wheat, rye, health and graham flour are stored several months before being used. The average daily output of two of the major products is 240,000 pounds of bread and 7,000 doughnuts. Bread is mixed, kneaded, and the allotted amount for each loaf drops into pans which are conveyed to a special room to stay, until the dough has risen. An automatic timer having sounded the necessary length of time, the pans are moved along by machinery to traveling ovens from which the finished product ultimately emerges. The output of these ovens is 500 pounds per hour. The employees who handle the necessary operations are dressed in im- ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JANUARY 30, 1926 Capital Stock Paid In; Stockholders Meet; Election of Directors Held; Major Wright Made Head. (Preston News Service) Philadelphia, Pa., Jan. 29.—Last Wednesday morning at nine o'clock the stockholders of the Citizens' & Southern Bank and Trust Company met at the bank building at 19th and South Streets for the purpose of starting the operation of a new trust company. More than five hundred stockholders were present in person or by proxy. The secretary reported that the entire capital stock of $156,250 had been collected and paid in, and that the Board of Directors had agreed to take over the business of the Citizens' & Southern Banking Company, including some five thousand depositors and business accumulations of five years. First Trust Company. This is the first colored trust company organized in the state of Pennsylvania; in fact, in the entire North. Major Wright, the president, in an address, said in part: "We are building this institution here for future generations, and I want to assure you that as long as I am its president, it will be conducted on the most conservative basis. We want to build a substantial bank like the Bank of North America & Trust Company, the Philadelphia National Bank, the Girard Trust Company, the Southwark National Bank, and the Philadelphia Saving Fund Society, which have been a hundred years and more in building a firm foundation. These are our examples. We want no mushroom growth. We believe that we can be of a big service to our people. We shall have a Savings Department, a Commercial Department, Trust Department, and Title Insurance Department, and are prepared to render any financial service to the people." Deposit Campaign Deposit Campaign. A campaign was started among the stockholders to increase the deposits by $1,000,000 in the next few months. Said Major Wright: "Philadelphia and vicinity has more than 200,000 colored people. They have an earning capacity of over $1,000,000 a week, and a saving capacity of $100,000 a week, or $5,200,000 a year. It is therefore no idle dream when we say we expect to get $1,000,000 of the savings of the people." R. R. Wright, Jr., was elected secretary and treasurer; J. Albert Johnson, first vice-president, and Frank Hopkins, second vice-president. WIFE OF FRENCH CONSUL GIVES TO DEFENSE FUND Mrs. William H. Hunt, whose husband is United States Consul at Saint-Etienne, France, has sent a contribution of $50 to the Legal Defense Fund being raised by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and in her letter states that Mr. Hunt intends to send a similar sum. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt learned of the Legal Defense Fund through "The Crisis," which goes to them at Saint-Etienne. Mr. Hunt is one of the few colored Americans in the U. S. Consular service and has held office for many years. maculate uniforms, and many precautions are taken to see that all the operations are performed in a strictly sanitary manner. Food Served. Following the tour, the women enjoyed a repast of coffee, assorted cakes and doughnuts, served by the hostesses. Miss Peaker, hostess, stated that the league women were one of the most appreciative groups that had ever taken the trip. The tours sponsored by the club have been of great value to the housewives who have availed themselves of the opportunity of inspecting some of the leading manufacturing plants of the Twin Cities. Mrs. Anna Foster is President of the club, and Mrs. Gene Mundy is secretary. GARVEYITES SAY LEADER MAY BE RELEASED SOON GARVEYITES SAY LEADER MAY BE RELEASED SOON Commutation of Sentence Rumored for Head of Improvement Association. Must Quit United States Garvey Persecuted by Political Enemies Who Want His Power, Friends Claim. (Preston News Service) Washington, Jan. 29.—On condition that he leave the country, Marcus Garvey, provisional president general of Africa, head of the Universal Negro Improvement Association, and one of the most picturesque figures in New York City, may receive a commutation of sentence within a few days. In that event, Garvey will be released from Atlanta penitentiary where he has served one year of a five-year sentence for using the mails to defraud, according to those seeking his freedom. A warrant for his deportation probably will be approved by W. W. Husband, Assistant Secretary of Labor, late Friday, and issued Saturday. Garvey, whose troubles in promoting the Black Star Navigation Company contributed to his present plight, probably will be returned to the West Indies, providing the commutation is approved by the President. Officials here admit that few cases in many years have resulted in so much political pressure being exerted. The man, regarded by a large portion of illiterate Negroes as the long-awaited Moses, could not escape the spotlight even while in prison. Friends as well as enemies have worked night and day for his release, it is said. Garvey's friends say he has been persecuted by his personal and political enemies in Harlem. It is contended they want him out of the way (Continued on page 2) URBAN LEAGUE TO CONVENE FEB.3-5 Elmer Carter of Local Branch Leaves to Attend National Meeting. E. A.

Honorary Member of Zeta Phi Beta Delivers Address at Annual Meeting on Problems of "Finer Womanhood." Noted Business Woman, Founder of Poro Work, Speaks at Greek Meet Inter-racial Meeting Urges Necessity Of Closer Sympathy (By the Associated Negro Press) Baltimore, Md., Jan. 29.—The address delivered by Mrs. Annie M. Malone, founder of Poro College, St. Louis, Mo., before the Sixth Annual Convention of the Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, has caused much comment throughout college circles. Speaking on the "Finer Womanhood," Mrs. Malone, who is an honorary member of the sorority, pointed out to the group of college women from all parts of the country just what was meant by finer womanhood or real womanhood and how it could be attained. The speaker stressed the importance of self-efficiency and altruism and of concentrating on planning and doing worthwhile things, declaring that no dream, no matter how beautiful, meant nothing to the world unless realized; no plan, no matter how ambitious and rife with benefit to humanity meant nothing unless executed. In addition to delivering the principal address, Mrs. Malone was a moving force in the convention, offering helpful suggestions frequently and advising the young women how best to conduct business enterprises efficiently and successfully. The following officers were elected at the close of the convention: S. Evelyn Lewis, president, Washington, D. C.; Edythe R. Green, first vice-president, Philadelphia; Graddie Hill, second vice-president, Wiley, Texas; Corrine Osborne, recording secretary, Nashville, Tenn.; Marietta Buford, corresponding secretary, Wiley, Texas; Lucille Jackson Wilson, treasurer, Washington, D. C.; Venetia Nichols, financial secretary, Atlanta, Ga.; Editor of X. Ray Winona Harvey, New York City; Emma L. Askew, publicity agent, Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Annie Malone president ex-officio; Mrs. Alice Carey, president ex-officio. SERVANT OF ROBERT LEE TALKS IN VIRGINIA HALL (Freston News Service) Richmond, Va., Jan. 29.—For the first time since Reconstruction days, a Negro spoke in the hall of the Virginia General Assembly Tuesday when William Mack Lee, boy servant of General Robert E. Lee, addressed members of the state senate in tribute to his former master. The 88-year-old man spoke on his reminiscences of the Confederate general. The chamber was crowded with senators, members of the House of Delegates, state officials and the general public. Education of Both Races to Know Aims, Ideals of Other Is Essential to Better Understanding, Claim. (Preston News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Jan. 29.—Closer understanding and sympathy between Negroes and whites of the higher intellectual types is essential to a solution of the race problem and the economic and civil questions that grow out of it, in the opinion of Dr. W. W. Alexander of Atlanta, Ga., executive secretary of the Inter-racial Commission of the Federal Council of Churches, who spoke at the opening session of the Missouri State Conference on Race Relations Tuesday morning at the Public Library auditorium. About ninety-seven representatives, white and Negro, of religious, educational, church and social organizations throughout the state attended the conference. Education Necessary. The white man and the Negro, Dr. Alexander declared, must be brought together by an indirect process, the principal feature of which is a proper representation of the life, characteristics and aims of both races. This representation, he said, must come from the school, the pulpit and the press. Education, he said, is a vital factor in the struggle of the white man and the Negro to work out their racial attitude toward each other. The enlargement of the race relations society through the addition of both white and Negro Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. representative, and women's boards from various churches, was decided upon at the afternoon P. "Finer Womanhood," an address by Mrs. A. M. Malone at the sixth annual convention of the Zeta Phi Beta sorority, has caused much comment throughout the country. Mrs. Malone is the founder of Poro college at St. Louis, Mo. HUGE ORGAN PUT IN WILBERFORCE Instrument Costing $30,000 Now Being Installed; Has Main Solo Features. Wilberforce, Ohio, Jan. 29.—The $30,000 pipe organ is being assembled in Shorter Hall auditorium. The instrument consists of a main organ, which has six sets of pipes ranging from the size of a lead pencil to six inches in diameter and ten feet long, and a solo organ which has four sets of pipes. It contains a complete set of traps, bass drum and kettle drum, tenor drum, chimes, xylophone, bells, etc., all of which are operated from the keys in the orchestra pit. The instrument stands twenty-eight feet high. It is said to be one of the finest organs in this section. Another pipe organ has been installed in the Music Department for the students of the Conservatory of Music, but this instrument has not as many sets of pipes as the one in the Shorter Hall auditorium. The instruments are known as the Hop Jones Unit Orchestra. Crowning three weeks of rehearsing under the direction of George L. Johnson, music specialist, a 150-voice Community Chorus, composed of singers from Minneapolis and St. Paul, gave a brilliant concert to a large audience Monday, January 25, at the Lyceum theater in Minneapolis. Many of the numbers on the program were Negro spirituals. Chorus numbers were separated from each other with glee club numbers, and with solos. Of the glee club work, the renditions of the Bletso group were easily the best. Mr. Johnson, who sang several solos, was very well received by the audience, as were the other soloists. The program was presented simply and with despatch. Encores desired by the audience were denied because of the length of the program. Comments from white and colored hearers alike have been enthusiastically commendatory. session. Mrs. W. C. Winsborough of St. Louis was elected chairman of the Missouri organization for the coming year. Reports on living conditions of the Negro, discussion of methods for betterment of that condition and plans for aiding the white man and the Negro to a closer understanding of each other made up the principal business of the conference.

PRICE FIVE CENTS COLORED WOMEN AT BIRMINGHAM REFUSED BALLOT Mrs. Indjana Little Arrested at Polls on Charge of Disorderly Conduct. Federal Agents Watch Barrier of Passing Intelligence Tests Cause of Trouble, Clerk Avers. Birmingham, Ala., Jan. 29.—Last Monday when race women went to the county registrar's to register, it is said that the clerks in the election commissioner's office treated them in such uncouth manner as to cause Mrs. Indiana Little to "give them a piece of her mind." The clerks immediately called an officer and had Mrs. Little placed under arrest on a technical charge of disorderly conduct and resisting an officer. Federal Investigation. The arrest of Mrs. Little brought to light the fact that Department of Justice agents from Washington had been in Birmingham for a week or more making investigation into a method of registering voters. A complaint had been made to the Department, it was said. An attachment is reported to have said that agents of the Department of Justice had called for information within the past week. On Tuesday, it is said, that quite a large number of Negroes made application for registration at the office of the county registrar, following the incident of Monday, which resulted in the arrest of Mrs. Little. According to attaches of the election commissioner's office, Negroes made out application Tuesday and filled out the necessary blanks and followed the usual routine in an orderly manner. Tests Given. When it became known that federal agents were observing registration procedure here, it is said, the county registrar issued a statement in which he said: "All persons are accorded the same treatment in applying for registration certificates. A number of Negro voters have been registered. Applicants are required to pass a certain intelligence test before they are qualified, and it was this barrier that caused the disagreement with the group of Negroes and the clerks Monday." According to the registrar the women became angry because of the methods required by law and claimed that these methods were "only red tape to keep us from voting." Mrs. Little was placed under appearance and peace bonds. NOTICE The Echo is making arrangements with Minneapolis churches to distribute the papers in suitable places for those who are not subscribers. Further information can be obtained from The Echo office, or from Minneapolis pastors. Y. W. C. A. Holds Annual Meeting at St. James An enthusiastic group of women attended the annual meeting of the Central Ave. branch of the Y. W. C. A. at St. James A. M. E. church Thursday evening Mrs. Zula B. Tandy, chairman of the board of directors, presided. Dinner, served in a color scheme of blue and white, was followed by the business of the evening. Mrs. Maude Brooks gave a report of the last annual meeting. A report of the election was made, and Helen B. Hudson, executive secretary, outlined the work accomplished under her administration. Ermine Hall rendered a vocal solo, after which was given a speech by Leona MacGeorge. The Girl reserves gave an interpretation of the girl reserve code. Rev. W. H. Griffin gave the address of the evening upon the part of the Y. W. C. A. in the community. The meeting was ended with spirituals sung by the girl reserves. "Entered as second class matter Nov, 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" ON GETTING TAN reported that at a lecture on us school January 20, the lecturing if one stayed out in the sun he become "as brown as a niggers, colored mothers of the school that it was made. be the germs of race dislike being grammar schools by people who are the woman who made that statue method of addressing young ones she was trying deliberately to ins the idea of class consciousness, present, she should be checked out an effort should then be made be dealt with summarily. It is no more expressions of that offensive fathers and mothers of children to their eternal shame the of race feeling which are sown as the one quoted. at a matter which should be laid particularly colored parents as take it their business to see the satisfaction. Justice in small trained from the head of the Depth as that is the case, there is no residues should be received pass It has been reported that at a lecture on under-weight children at the Drew school January 20, the lecturing city nurse made the remark that if one stayed out in the sun long enough, one would eventually become "as brown as a nigger." At least two colored mothers of the school heard the remark and can testify that it was made. Here we have the germs of race dislike being spread carelessly in the public grammar schools by people who are supposed to be in authority. The woman who made that statement was either very careless in her method of addressing young and impressionable children, or she was trying deliberately to inject into their fast-working brains the idea of class consciousness. In either event, she should be checked up by the proper authorities, and an effort should then be made by them to have all similar offenses dealt with summarily. It is not alone that attitudes which dictate expressions of that offensive nature rouse the colored tax-paying fathers and mothers of children in the city schools; it is further to their eternal shame that they help to sprout the seeds of race feeling which are sown by just such careless statements as the one quoted. This is not a matter which should be laughed lightly off. Colored citizens, particularly colored parents associated with this school, should make it their business to see that the incident is concluded to their satisfaction. Justice in small as well as large things can be obtained from the head of the Department of Education, and as long as that is the case, there is no reason why offenses from petty subordinates should be received passively. THE COMMUNITY CHORUS interesting thing about the City of Newapolis last Monday evening was that the chorus as a whole is to be the group singing made more any of the individual singers' leader. There were solos, and not so good, as is the case with any comments which the appearance is particularly delightful and juicy, your right, a white group would be the lovely! Very, very pretty! She will fix her hair that was against it. . . . I do hope she said. . . . Hee, hee, hee, I never do, or whatnot, however, the concern only thing that prevented each clubs, and the whole chorus from shortage of time. The audience was unanimous in its praise. Implyly on time, executing its work considering its short period of time, a hugely successful conclusion, and its sponsors must be opened for noteworthy local achievement. Not the least interesting thing about the Community Chorus presented in Minneapolis last Monday evening was the audience response. The work of the chorus as a whole is to be highly praised. Without a doubt, the group singing made more of an impression than the work of any of the individual singers with the possible exception of the leader. There were solos, and some were good, and some were not so good, as is the case with all solos. It was the comments which the appearance of the soloists elicited that were particularly delightful and juicy to the discriminating ear. To our right, a white group would gurgle, "Isn't she adorable! Isn't she lovely! Very, very pretty!" And at our left, a dutiful sense of hearing picked up from a colored portion of the audience, "Hmf! She will fix her hair that way many times as I've warned her against it. . . I do hope she sings well, but she looks rather scared. . . Hee, hee, hee, I never did like her in that dress." Hair, clothes, or whatnot, however, the concert was very well received, and the only thing that prevented each of the soloists, the various glee clubs, and the whole chorus from giving repeated encores was a shortage of time. The audience was enthusiastic in its applause, and unanimous in its praise. Starting promptly on time, executing its work with a precision astounding considering its short period of training, and carrying through to a hugely successful conclusion, the community chorus, its director, and its sponsors must be openly enrolled upon the scroll reserved for noteworthy local achievements. JANUARY 11. 1926 if a month went by before the i blood of a fresh-mobbed black mots for black blood, these brave bands and wear the grinning, u everyday personalities in the re here birds, and flowers, and sky in very joy of being and bein alic all the carefree folk who can w and rest, and be happy Not even half a month went by before the incoming year was stained with the blood of a fresh-mobbed black man. They are zealots for black blood, these brave southern gentlemen who come in bands and wear the grinning, unrevealing masks that cloak their everyday personalities in the red haze of murder. In Florida, where birds, and flowers, and sky, and sea, and sun all laugh at once in very joy of being and being beautiful... in Florida, where frolic all the carefree folk who can and dare to leave a busy life to play, and rest, and be happy... in Florida, where long years since Ponce de Leon searched long and carefully for the fountain of eternal youth... in that same Florida, "Nicholas Williams was taken from two officers by a band of masked men... and lynched a few miles from town." One more mob murder. The first in the new year—yes—but they seem to continue interminably, so what difference does the coming of a new year make? None, whatsoever. We are agreed. The South is the South. But the flowers were especially colorful and fragrant that day; the sky was bluer than ever before; the sea, as it rolled happily along, crinkled up its face in sheer joy of being alive; and the birds had never sung so lustily or so well. You did not notice perhaps? But out a few miles from that little Florida town, a tall tree bent its head for a time, as though it were making a formal bow to the beauty around it; and strangely, when it straightened itself up again, it continued to make lesser bows in a sort of fascinating, nervously jerking rhythm. So for a time, when it ceased all motion but kept its head bent as though in grief. Night fell . . . and so, they say, came January 11, 1926 in beautiful, joyous Florida. Editor The St. Paul Echo, Dear Sir: Permit space in the Safety Valve for a brief outline as to the object of the York-Rite forum which has been fostered by Prince Hall Lodge No. 3, King David No. 2, Elizabeth Court, Golden Star Court and Eureka Lodge No. 4 of the Twin Cities. This letter is a fortification against false propaganda. The object of the York-Rite forum is to call its members together to discuss the problems that throttle our economic independence and social welfare in these Twin Cities. These forums are for the purpose of judicially outlining plans for co-operation in one common project for all, and no man or woman is excluded who wishes to take part in the discussion. The doors of industry are closed in our faces; prejudice stands between us and comfortable housing conditions; the clouds are gathering over us, and we are exposed to a storm of feeling. As a race we have but one problem; we must exchange rivalry for co-operation if we expect to overcome. Co-operation doesn't hinder one from serving God, according to his individual choice of church or denomination, and it should not prevent one from enjoying the fraternal brotherhood of his individual choice. This forum has for its object a determination to awaken the minds of our race, and to urge their voices to CRY, and to spare not. We shall not whine, but we shall take courage. One of the best tests of racial quality in existence is its triumph over disadvantages. It is power, influence; it makes friends, creates funds, draws recognition, and opens closed doors. Yours for co-operation, YORK-RITE FORUM, Rev. Edw. L. Fuller, Cor. Sec., 1201 Emerson Ave. N., Minneapolis, Minn. Please allow me space in your paper to try to express to The St. Paul Echo, to the musicians and singers, and to the public at large of Minneapolis and St. Paul my deep appreciation for the support I have received in the preparation and delivery of the concert at the Lyceum theater Monday, January 25. Word are inadequate to express my appreciation for the fine spirit of loyalty and devotion which was shown by Miss W. Gertrude Brown, and by the group as a whole in demonstrating the talent and ability inherent in our race, and its capability of development. The co-operation of The St. Paul Echo was especially gratifying. Most beautiful was the assistance offered by the 52 singers of St. Paul. It meant that the Twin Cities are one at least in sympathy and aspiration. My parting word to each member of the chorus is one of devotion and of the heartiest good wishes for success in all future endeavors. Very sincerely, GEORGE LEON JOHNSON, Music Specialist for the National Playground and Recreation Association of America.

Francis, chairman of the executive board of the Urban League presided at the annual meeting held Thursday night, January 28, at Pioneer Hall, where two of the speakers, H. H. Sargent of Cochrane Sargent & Co., and D. W. Aberle of the Garrott Candy Co., both members of the executive board of the league expressed their views on Negro problems. Mr. Sargent gave briefly his reason for attaching himself to such an organization as the Urban League. Mr. Aberle, after pointing out the esteem in which the members of the board held the services of E. A. Carter, local secretary, stressed the necessity of co-operation by the colorate people of the community if the organization would ever achieve its maximum importance in the city. Dr. McLeveen in his address showed that imagination was necessary not only to all creative enterprise, but also to the same adjustment of racial differences. He deplored the attempted repression of distinctive racial characteristics, and urged a continued optimism as one of the factors in solving the race problem. Mrs. Gladys James rendered two vocal numbers accompanied by Margaret Benjamin. The annual report of the activities of the league during the past year and a prospectus of work planned for the coming year were given by Elmer A. Carter, executive secretary.

Ability does not count, knowledge is useless, experience has no worth without the driving force of optimism.—Kaufmann. HELPFUL HINTS Clean the bathtub and sink with a cloth dampened with kerosene. It will take off all streaks and greasy spots like magic. Lubricate the egg beater, meat cutter and such utensils as are used around food with a drop of glycerin; it will not leave any taste if a drop leaks down into the food. To slightly stiffen dainty white things such as baby's dresses add a tablespoonful of sugar to the rinsing water; this will give them a new look after ironing. To clean the grater after using it for various things, use a stiff-bristle brush—the kind which costs five cents. It will save time and the hands. Rub the grater over a cake that has been scorched, hold it so that the crumbs fall off the cake. If carefully done all of the scorched cake can be removed. Butter the inside of a sirup pitcher or creamer which has a habit of leaking its contents at the spout. Any wooden chest of soft wood which is perfectly air tight, if well oiled once a year with oil of cedar is just as effective against moths as the best cedar chest. To clean a rusty knife thrust it into an onion and leave it for a short while. Save all bits of parmah left from jelly glasses. It can be well washed and used again. Bits of it used in a cloth make the iron work better when using the old-fashioned irons. Small bits as large as a pea added to boiling starch make it work better when ironing, as it never sticks. A piece used when wiping a warm stove will keep it shiny and clean looking, it will also prevent rusting. Mrs. Alice Brown of 200 11th Ave., is quite sick.

For delicate cloth or gloves, use flour instead of corn meal. Buffalo bugs and moths do not enjoy turpentine.

It is small wonder that many hesitate to have their pictures taken. But every one wishes that they had at least one good portrait that they would not hesitate to give to mother, to the relatives and friends who are in distant parts of the country and to the loved one here. We have admired the exhibit of photo-portraits now being shown by "That Man Smith." It is a revelation to note the artistic skill which these pictures show. We have never seen the charm and individuality of our race so strikingly captured and reproduced. "That Man Smith," a product of Fisk University and of the Illinois College of Photography, is conducting a studio at 633 Sixth Ave. No., Minneapolis, that the race may well be proud of. Of especial interest now are his portraits in natural colors. A visit to his studio to view the display is well worth the while. His work must be seen to be appreciated. ST. JAMES A. M. E.

He is doing everything to avoid Harry Wills. It is only claimed by boosters of Tunney that Harry hasn't done anything or hasn’t “killed” any- body, and for that “mere” reason is out of the running. But it can be said for those whom Wills has beat- en that he has wrecked them so that they are no more good and can be beaten by lightweights thereafter. The ring heroes of the past did not have any social ambition nor did they carry “powder puffs” or golf sticks, but were proud of their quali- ties as fighting men of the ring. And as usual when a fighter tries to hide behind the “color line” he has a weak heart. William Howard is the first color- ed entry ever to compete in one of the annual Daily News dog derbies. William entered the ninth annual derby, which was run off at Como Park Saturday afternoon.

Claims British Prize for Inventing “Tank” New York.—The United States bas a claimant for some of the $150,000 prize money offered by the British gov- ernment to the inventor of the “tank.” Francis J. Lowe, for many years « tractor salesman and now @ metropol! tan real estate operator, gives Edwin Wheelock, a tractor engineer of Wino- na, Minn., credit for the fathering of the miachines that were a sensation of the world war. “Ia April, 1915," Mr, Lowe sald re- cently, “I went to Burope to sell some caterpillar tractors, and took with me some blueprints of a proposed 60,000 pound armored tractor made by Mr. Wheelock. Maj. Wileon, who took the plang, sald he would let me know If we were to get any orders, but I never heard from him.” ‘Wheelock then requested Lowe to go to London and find out what had hap- pened. He was told, he says, that un- der the terms of the government award only British inventors could get it.” ‘The first prize court was unable to determine who was the real inventor of the tank and a second hearing has been ordered. Lure of America Still Strong in Emerald Isle Dublin.—America’s lure for sons and Gaughters of old Erin is held largely responsible for decay of the -native Irish language. ‘A government commission seeking to find the best means of preserving the language found that 75 per cent of the girls and boys born in Irish-speaking districts look upon the United States as thelr futdre home. ‘Bren in the Dingle peninsula in Kerry, which 1s the principal home of nattve “speech in Munster, it was learned that of the children in one parish who left school between 1912 ‘and 1022, more than half emigrated, and many of those left are only wait. ing thelr turn under the quote, ot financial assistance from friends tn America. MANY GRATERS ON UNIMAK ISL fously awaiting the end of summer- Uke weather, so the rivers may freeze and they can make thelr way out. Unusually high temperatures for No- vember followed the reported activity of Mount Shishaldin, @ voleano on ‘Unimak island. “Unimak island, the largest of the Aleutian ‘stepping stones,’ {s a focus of voleante activity second only to the Katmai district, scene, {n 1912, of one of the greatest voleante eruptions the world has known,” says a bulletin from the Washington headquarters of the National Geographic goclety. “Al- though it has an area only a little larger than Rhode Island, so many craters occur on Unimak island that there Is often a great deal of confu- ston as to the location of the various eruptions reported. Fujlyama’s “Double.” “Mount Shishaldin, the peak recent- ly reported active, is the most strik- ing and beautiful of the eleven major craters of the island. It has one of the most nearly perfect cones in the world, seeming to float suspended in the alr above Its cloud-girt base. Be- cause of its white symmetry it has been called the most formidable rival of the celebrated Fujiyama. Fortu- nate, however, is the visitor who has ‘seen this Alaskan queen in all her beauty, for most of the year Unimak, and the rest of the Aleutians, are en- veloped in a heavy blanket of fog and low-lying clouds. “Despite Untmak's size and tts sep- ‘aration from the matntand ‘panhandle’ of Alaska by only a narrow atrip of water, it {s of little importance. There ‘are no good harbors around its shores “Cod fishing on the great banks to the south of the island, which ere similar to those of Newfoundland, and the mining of small quantities of sulphur and pumice stone are the principal industries, ‘The inhabitants fare mostly the remnants of the ortg- inal native tribes found here by the Russlans in the Eighteenth century. “There is no tourist trade, partly because there are no accommodations for them, but mainly because the beauties of the island can be seen to advantage with binoculars on ship- board. West coast steamers bound for Nome and other places on the Bering sea, or for the Arctie ocean, pass almost around the island, for the narrow stralt separating {t from the mainland 1s not as safe as Unimak pass, the strait between it and the rest of the Fox group. “Like its sister islands Unimak ts tn general desolate and scraggy along {ts rocky, grass-covered lower slopes. It 1s treeless, and, except for its heavy rainfall and fogs, has a de- Ughtful climate, Summers in Unimak fare cooler than places farther north, while in winter the weather is milder than that of Tennessee or Kentucky, twenty degrees of latitude farther south, The warm Japan current, which sweeps up the coast of Asia and around the Aleutians, gives it a January average of 80 degrees above zero. “Grasses of all kinds grow in abun- dance on the lowlands all year round but the climate is too damp to ma- ture grain, Although the soll is rich, being composed of a vegetable mold mixed with voleanfe ash, the land ts rugged and there are no places where farms of any size can be made.

On Direct Route to Japan. “Unimak and other islands of the Aleutian chain, believed to be the route by which man first migrated to the Western hemisphere, should be better known to the world at large, for they are on the shortest route be- tween our northwestern states and Japan. ‘The great expanse of the Pacific and the curvature of the earth place Yokohama almost due northwest of Seattle, if one follows the most Atrect -path. “The American world flyers remem- ber Unimak as part of one of the most difficult stages in thelr globe- cfreling trip. Port Moller, the com- munity to which Major Martin made his way on foot after his plane crashed, 1s about 150 miles farther east. The district presented the same pitfalls for aviators as Unimak, con- feal peaks and sharp ridges rising suddenly out of dreary fog-hidden tundras and marshes, “In addition to Mt, Shishaldin, Uni- mak has several other exceptional peaks.

PAUL ECHO WAR DEPARTMENT RADIO NET SAVES $155,698 IN YEAR Wight Hundred Messages Dally Are Dispatched In Hook-up of Nine Corpse Areas. Washington, — Disclosure that the “War department radio net,” linking ‘up the nine corps areas and the de- partment in a communications system operated exclusively by military per eonnel, originated in 1922, as a fea- ture of “plans to igyure communication with corps area Headquarters and cer tain critical eltles in case of fatlure or destruction of the commercial wire system,” ts contained in the annual report of Maj. Gen, O. McK. Saltzman, chlef signal officer of the army. ‘The net was established three years ago, the report sald, and it has since been employed “to excellent advantage tn the training of signal corps person- nel,” in addition to handling a heavy burden of departmental telegraphic business theretofore intrusted to com- merelal companies. General Saltzman estimated thet, while the original five stations of the net transmitted about 60 official mes- sages dally, each numbering about 40 words, the present system of 12 major stations and 60 subsidiary points handled approximately 800 messages a day. + ‘The rapid growth of traffic was said to have been brought about by the chlef co-ordinator, in an endeavor to “consolidate government communica tion activities in order to eliminate duplication of effort and carry out the retrenchment policy of the President.” In addition, to handling its own, the War department transmits the busi- ness of more than 12 other govern- ment departments and bureaus, and, in co-operation with the navy, which handles all off-shore radio business, as the army handles in-shore messages, even for the navy, a system has been established, General Saltzman sald, fully capable to handle and supervise the communications activities during an emergency. ‘The report showed that in the fiscal year 1924-25 more than 8,000,000 words in messages were transmitted with a saving of $155,608 to the government in commercial tolls.
