SCHOOL,BOARD WANTS STRIKE BLAME PLACED Washington School Board Dis satisfied With Report of Armstrong Walkout. CouncilSponsorsChided Superintendent of Schools Orders New Report Placing Blame Definitely. (Preston News Service) Washington, D. C., Feb. 26.—At its meeting Wednesday afternoon the board appeared disappointed over a report on the recent student strike at Armstrong Technical High School as made by Assistant Superintendent of Schools G. C. Wilkinson. He was ordered to make another report at the next meeting of the school board putting responsibility for the strike directly on the shoulders of some one. Want Blame Fixed. In his report Mr. Wilkinson said he had not found evidence that any member of the faculty at Armstrong had taken an active part in the student "walkout," but he had established that most of the faculty knew what was going on, and after the strike was called they failed to meet the situation. He said he particularly blamed Charles M. Thomas and Miss Helen Crawford, student council sponsors, who failed to "sit in" on the council meetings at which the strike was discussed. Mr. Greenwood said he was opposed to making the council sponsors the "goats," but that he did want responsibility placed where it belonged and a definite recommendation for action from Mr. Wilkinson. Capt. Arthur C. Newman was given permission to receive a loving cup from his former pupils at Armstrong High School. The appointment of George W Hines as head of the department of business practice in the colored high school divisions was approved. DEMPSEY-WILLS BOUT PROTESTED Philadelphia Ministers Petition Mayor Kendrick to Stop 'Brutal Exhibition'. (Preston News Service) Philadelphia, Pa., Feb. 26.—Baptist and Methodist ministers of Philadelphia and vicinity have launched a movement to prevent the proposed Jack Dempsey-Harry Wills heavyweight championship battle being held here during the sesqui-centennial celebration next summer. The protests were mailed to Mayor Kendrick Tuesday following meetings of Baptist and Methodist ministers, held separately. The Baptists authorized a letter asking the mayor "to do the right thing" about the contest. The Methodists said in part: "Newspaper articles have appeared to the effect that Jack Dempsey and Harry Wills were being secured to participate in a decision bout during the sesqui-centennial celebration. We write to express our confidence in you that you will not permit the celebration of this republic's birth and those lofty ideals and principles associated therewith to be debauched by such a brutal exhibition."

ST.LOUIS LOSES VALUE OF NEGRO Director of Community Council Blames City for With-Holding Aid. (Preston News Service) St. Louis, Mo., Feb. 26.—St. Louis is losing much of the productive value of the Negro as a worker and as an intelligent citizen by failing to supply the race with the same public educational, recreational and industrial advantages offered white citizens, Elwood Street, director of the Community Council, told the Education Committee of the College Club Wednesday afternoon. "The Negro must be housed adequately and decently for others as well as themselves. Under present conditions a Negro family often lives in one room and frequently has boarders in addition. Such congestion is a serious menace to the health and well being of the city," he declared. "Immorality is more prevalent among Negroes; there is delinquency among the children and all because the city does not provide adequate playgrounds education, nor provide him with the same opportunities of making good use of his leisure. If we expect the Negro to be a good citizen we must give him the facilities to become so." Aspirants For 1926 Spingarn Medal Wanted Aspirants For 1926 Spingarn Medal Wanted (N. A. A. C. P.

Death Sentence Made, Reversed; Life Imprisonment Dictated; Case of Collins Now to Get New Trial. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) After a series of legal battles beginning in 1922, the Houston, Texas, Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, has obtained freedom from jail under $2,500 bond, for Luther Collins, originally charged with assault, and sentenced to death. His death sentence was reversed by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals, and Collins was again tried in 1924, the jury failing to agree after 40 hours deliberation. Case Appealed. Collins was then tried again and given life imprisonment. On appeal from this decision, the court of Criminal Appeals, remanded the case for another trial. Venue was changed to Washington County, where it is now proposed to try him March 8. The Houston N. A. A. C. P. has stubbornly and relentlessly fought this series of legal battles in the Texas courts, convinced of the innocence of Luther Collins of the crime charged against him. In making public this newest development the N. A. A. C. P. pointed out that there can be little doubt of Collin's innocence when he, a Negro, being tried in Texas for rape of a white woman, had one jury unable to agree, another unwilling to give him the death penalty, had two reversals of convictions from the Texas court of Criminal Appeals, and now secures release on nominal bond after four years of imprisonment. Druggist Arrested on Charge of 'Dope' Sale (Preston News Service) Memphis, Tenn., Feb. 26.—J. C. Bowman, 25, druggist, was arrested Wednesday by police and federal narcotic agents after an alleged sale of dope to a woman addict. Search of his store disclosed alleged violations of the anti-narcotic act upon which additional charges may be based, officers claim. According to investigators, efforts have been made to apprehend Bowman for four years without success until Wednesday. MURDERER GIVEN LIFE (Preston News Service) (Freston News Service) Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 26.—Will Brown, was judged guilty of murder by a jury late Wednesday night and sentenced to life imprisonment. Brown was charged with the stabbing and killing of Fred Owen, 14-year-old boy, on the south side in October. According to evidence in the trial Brown accosted Owen while the latter was walking with two girls. Owens, it is said, resented remarks by Brown and an argument was precipitated which resulted in the death of Owen. JOHNSON URGES ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN SENATE JOHNSON URGES ANTI-LYNCHING BILL IN SENATE National Association Secretary Stresses Need for Measure to Sub-Committee. RapeCharge Unfounded Clark Says Negroes Seeking Not Political Rights, But Physical Protection. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) At a meeting of a sub-committee, appointed by the Committee on the Judiciary of the U. S. Senate, to hold a hearing on the McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill, in Washington, D. C., on Tuesday, February 16, James Weldon Johnson, secretary of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, presented arguments for the enactment of the measure into law. Mr. Johnson presented "Thirty Years of Lynching," with supplements to date, the first and only authoritative compilation on the subject in this country, published by the N. A. A. C. P. Mr. Johnson cited a number of atrocities which took place in 1925, including the lynching of an insane Negro in Georgia; the burning alive of two men; and the lynching of Lindsey Coleman in Mississippi immediately after a jury had acquitted him of the charge of murder. "The McKinley-Dyer anti-lynching bill is not a force bill," said Mr. Johnson, "not nearly as much so as the prohibition enactments. It is rather a federal penal measure which would operate only where states are unable or unwilling to act. "The nation surely cannot deem itself powerless to protect its citizens within its own borders. Lynching is not limited to Negroes. In fact, of the total of 3,559 persons lynched since 1889, no less than 722 were white." Rape Merely Bugaboo. Mr. Johnson pointed out that rape had never been first among the crimes alleged as provoking lynching, and that less than one-fifth of the lynching victims had even been accused of rape, in addition to the fact that 90 women have been lynched. Declaring that the honor and safety of the United States were at stake, Mr. Johnson said: "The United States is the only civilized, or uncivilized spot on earth where a human being may be burned alive with immunity.

Robeson In Chicago Recital Moves Newspaper Critics To Enthusiasm Brazil Does Not Want Permanent Negro Residents, Report States Brazil Does Not Want Permanent Negro Residents, Report States Extravagant Praise Given Colored Artists; Lawrence Brown at Piano Makes Flawless Performance. `(N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Paul Robeson, accompanied by Lawrence Brown, in a program of Negro Spirituals, achieved a triumph in Chicago on February 10, according to reports and clippings received by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. The musical critic of the Chicago Herald and Examiner wrote that Robeson's voice was "one of the most beautiful in the world" and said the singer "moved his listeners to tears, to laughter and to shouted demands for repetitions." The Chicago Evening Post critic wrote of the singing: "It is a something the Negro has in his heart that no other race can touch. There was nothing that savored of vocal effect, but all seemed to flow spontaneously from the very spirit of the thing. . . Lawrence Brown gave him just the right kind of support at the piano and added many fine singing bits himself." The Chicago Daily Journal critic reported that "Robeson sang his songs last night with a voice of unusual beauty" and that "his singing of them seemed perfectly spontaneous, just as his vocal equipment appeared to be as natural as it was fine." The Chicago Daily Tribune's critic: "It was undoubtedly the mellowest, gentlest, most appealing voice of the year, that of Paul Robeson's at the Orchestra Hall last night. . . Here were two greatly talented and highly skilled artists. Their program was a delight." Chicago Evening American: "For these two men are genuine artists and their singing, to Brown's playing, is something more than art while it is as well delightful and stimulating diversion. . . And they carry the public with them every step of the way." Mars, Frederick Douglass Lodges Will Honor Ogden Member of Mars Lodge No. 2202, and Frederick Douglas Lodge No. 9055 G. U. O. O.

ARNOLD MAKES DEBATE SQUAD ARNOLD MAKES DEBATE SQUAD Sophomore at University gains Distinction in Forensics, Athletics. William J. Arnold, Jr., sophomore at the University of Minnesota, was a successful candidate for the sophomore debating team at the tryouts held the latter part of January. With two other sophomores, Mr. Arnold will participate in the annual freshman-sophomore debate March 10. The question is, "Resolved, That the United States Should Recognize Soviet Russia." Mr. Arnold is a graduate of Anoka high school where he was a member of the debating team for one year. From that school, he was also entered in the state declaration contest for two successive years. Beside his activity in forensics, Mr. Arnold is a member of the sport staff of the Minnesota Daily, student newspaper. Last year he was a first string pitcher upon the freshman baseball team. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. W. J. Arnold of Anoka. FATHER KILLS SON (Preston News Service) Statesville, N. C., Feb. 25.—Wesley Tuck, delivery boy for a local grocery store, died Monday morning about 9 o'clock as a result of a blow on the side of the head inflicted by his father, Jess Tuck, meat cutter in a local market. The difficulty started over a trivial matter at their home in North Statesville, the boy's death following a few hours later. Jess Tuck was placed in jail on a charge of murder. Negro Immigrants Who Desire to Locate in South American Republic Warned to Stay Away, Claim. Chicago, Ill., (By the Associated Negro Press)—American citizens of "color" seeking new outlets and opportunities for expansion and migration have been so persistently advised by a publicist of note to "Go to Brazil, the land of Freedom and Equality," that it is said many colored Americans have been making plans to settle in the republic of the south of us. Some difficulty, however, has always been interposed in the paths of those who attempted to make the trip. Either their transports have been delayed or discriminations in the matter of transportation have been inflicted upon them, while other similar deterrents have operated against their embarkation.

PRICE FIVE CENTS SUPREME COURT OF OHIO RULES AGAINST DAYTON High Judiciary Bars Discrimination in Public Schools; Dayton Hit Hard. Ruling Is Unanimous Charge Made that Colored Children Forced to Have Separate Classes, Entrance. Columbus, Ohio.—Ending a long fight against segregation of colored children in separate schools, the supreme court of Ohio has rendered a decision barring such discriminatory practice. This decision affirms the decision of the Montgomery county Court of Appeals which had ruled against segregation as a result of a contest begun by Earl Reese when colored children were refused admittance to the same classes and buildings used by white children at the Garfield school in Dayton. Unanimous Ruling. The ruling was by unanimous vote, with Chief Justice Carrington T. Marshall writing the opinion. The decision follows a similar case, fought a year ago by the N. A. A. C. P. in the Willard school where it had been sought to place colored children in classes in the school basement and to make them enter the building through a rear entrance. This case bears a striking similarity to the former one. The colored citizens brought suit against the Dayton Board of Education charging that in the Garfield district Negroes "were required" to occupy a separate part of the school premises with separate entrances and exits to the school building." The N. A. A. C. P. sent Robert W. Bagnall, its Director of Branches, to Dayton; worked in conjunction with the Parents' Protective Association, held meetings and helped to raise funds for the struggle. The Dayton branch of the N. A. A. C. P., through Rev. J. N. Samuels-Belboder, has taken an active part in fighting these cases. The Ohio Supreme Court's decision is based on a similar ruling made by the Court 38 years ago in similar cases originating in Hamilton and Butler counties. ALABAMAN GIVEN 7-YEAR SENTENCE Albany Police Officer Found Guilty of Manslaughter After Slaying Negro. (Preston News Service) Albany, Ala., Feb. 26.—J. Monroe West, Albany police officer, was found guilty of first degree manslaughter and sentenced to serve seven years in the penitentiary in connection with the slaying of Asberry Murry, Negro, who died October 11, 1925. The case of Robert E. Stewart, another Albany officer who is also held in connection with the killing, was continued and ball granted in the sum of $5,000. Appeal bond for Officer West was fixed at $2,000. In response to the question, "Have you reached an agreement?" from Judge O. Kyle, Foreman King replied that they had, and handed the decision to Circuit Court Clerk J. L. Draper. Not a sound was audible as Draper read the verdict of the jury. "We, the jury, find the defendant guilty of manslaughter in the first degree and assess his punishment at seven years' imprisonment." The defendant was later arraigned before Judge Kyle and sentenced. G. A. R. ENTERTAINED BY ROOSEVELT RELIEF CORPS The Roosevelt Relief Corps gave a silver tea in honor of the G. A.

Having traveled the world over in his unsuccessful quest, he returned home tired and poor, to discover that a diamond mine upon his old property had yielded an immense fortune—to another man. So it is very often with us. We seek the spectacular method even in trying to save; we aim at a one-hundred dollar first deposit without realizing that such a sum must first be slowly saved up. The local colored American Legion Post displays a fine example of this attitude. War risk insurance policies, covering all the details of the usual insurance policies are offered war veterans at a rate sixteen percent cheaper than the some policies can be purchased from private concerns. An accurate estimate reckons the aygregate saving to war veterans through these policies at five billion dollars. Out of the approximate three hundred colored veterans in St. Paul eligible to take advantage of this saving, but eleven men have done so. After July, policies which have been allowed to lapse cannot be renewed, and no new ones will be issued after that date. Eighty-four cents on the purhasing dollar is a saving which a careful man would go far to get. This instance requires no great effort. It is a mere matter of continuing the insurance safeguard at a cheaper rate. How many of us who are eligible for this insurance value can actually afford to overlook it? It is clearly a case of putting down our buckets where we are—and now—for after July 2, the well, rich now in saving for us, will be dry!

Long before the affair was to be given, publicity was spread broadcast outlining the general plan of the party, and laying particular stress upon the necessity and desirability of guest attendance in costume. At the dance perhaps five women and girls wore costumes. There were two men who dressed in the gay fashion which the members of the society had desired. Before the evening had got more than fairly started, the women who had costumed, with the exception of one, replaced their costumes with conventional dresses. They felt queer dressed as they were supposed to have been in the nature of the kind of party which it was! And the majority of the attendants, those who had made no effort to wear costumes were in reality the only people who should have felt odd. A peculiar situation! For so long have we been accustomed to do only the things that we want to do, that it is easy to believe that we are forgetting how to accommodate our neighbor. That unhappy party is only a minor expression of a larger attitude. St. Paul has had countless colored businesses that have failed because of lack of support. She has had three newspapers. Many of her churches are remnants of some fractionalized parent stock. For the sake of so selfishly ideal a thing as our own personal good, isn't it about time that we learned some of the rudiments of the art of co-operation?

From Seven Corners to downtown Minneapolis the other evening, a young gentleman stood facing the long seat of the street car on which we were seated. As he stood, he whistled, and as he whistled, he annoyed us not alone by the noise he was making but because too of the tatto of his whistled breath upon the exposed part of our downturned face. He was a colored young gentleman, so we said nothing. We say nothing now, but we would like to inquire why it is that we must ourselves constantly break the small polite customs that our more boorish pale brothers are ever guilty of violating? GIRARD HAS ROYAL REVENUE FROM COAL Easily Richest Educational Institution on Earth. Girard college royalties on coal last year amounted to $3,800,000, says Girard in the Philadelphia inquirer. But last year the consumers paid about $1,100,000,000 for their anthracite delivered into their coal bins. Wiping out that royalty would be like dipping a drop from a bucket of water. Years ago the Girard estate stopped spending its coal royalties. The estate managers, which is the Board of City Trusts, wisely decided that coal in the ground is capital. When that capital is removed from the earth its equivalent in dollars must be invested to take its place. Otherwise the estate would some day have spent its great resource of revenue. Coal royalties for years past have been invested and only the interest on that investment is spent. Last year the value of the Girard estate increased almost $1,500,000, which inspires Walter C. Gold, a graduate of Girard college, to give other interesting figures. Girard college is now, as it has been from the beginning, the richest educational institution on earth. At the start of the present year the four biggest college endowments in the world stood in this order: Yale—$40,000,000. Stephen Girard died ninety-four years ago, and his fortune of about $8,000,000 was the largest then in America. More than $7,000,000 of that was set aside for the creation and maintenance of Girard college, which the old banker directed to be built on lines carefully set down by himself. No other college in the world was then worth anything near $7,000,000. The figures show that it still leads, although enormous gains made by Harvard and Columbia may soon remove Girard from first place. This college for fatherless boys, of whom there are now more than fifteen hundred students, has had a unique record. A Girard student is not only educated free of all cost, but his food and clothing are provided free from the day he enters until he graduates. Thus Girard college has sent into the world many thousand well trained youths and at the same time multiplied its capital from about $7,000,000 to more than ten times that sum. Uncanny Experiment The appointment of Joseph Barcroft as professor of physiology at Cambridge university, England, recalls the fact that Professor Barcroft once performed an experiment which attracted world-wide attention. He was studying lung diseases. For one whole week he remained in a glass chamber from which all the air was pumped except the smallest amount required to sustain life. Students watched in relays day and night to see that the small motor drawing out the vitiated air did not stop, for if it had stopped even for a few minutes it would have meant certain death to Professor Barcroft. When the scientist emerged from the glass chamber his body had turned completely blue—Pathfinder Magazine.

That little bit of callsthenics in the morning sweetens my whole day for me."—Detroit News England's Egg Imports England, once a fine farming country with good farmers, doesn't even raise the eggs it eats for breakfast, says Capper's Weekly. It is under a "foreign yolk" so to speak. Last year it imported $33,179,680 worth of eggs, mainly from Denmark and Ireland, but also from the United States, Poland, France, Italy, Lithuania, Czechoslovakia, Egypt, China, Canada and South America.

Clinic Makes Boys Good In Philadelphia there is a clinic that has as its chief purpose the making of boys good.

February 23, 1926 In interest of many who I am sure are anxious to know if a city like St. Paul with a population of 5,000 colored people and every other necessary advantage, except a co-operative interest which could be created with but little effort, is it not possible to have a base ball team this year as a source of representation and a stimulant to our group?

The carriers' burdens were cast aside and the chauffeur and the parcel post men were relieved of the strain of keeping their foot on the gas, while several of St. Paul's best entertainers made frolic and mirth at a stag party, of which Leon White, St. Paul postal clerk, was the guest of honor. Mr. White gave a toast which was fitting and very impressive. Mr. Taylor, who is stationed at Ft. Snelling, had a great deal of trouble in deciding as to which of the Twin Cities he belonged, but readily stated that he was with the members of the club in whatever they did as a club. Due to the re-appearance of Cyrus L. Lewis, who had been absent for some time, he was given a hearty welcome and was called upon for a few words.

On the sun dial in the garden The great sun keeps the time; A fainn small, moving shadow, And we know the worlds are in rime; And if once that shadow should falter By the space of a child's eyelash, The sea would devour the moun- tains And the stars together would crash. —Richard Watson Gilder. The following relish has the advantage of many, as it may be made after all the fresh vegetables are out of the market. Best Relish.—Chop cooked beets to make a quart; add one quart of chopped cabbage, one cupful of grated horseradish, two cupfuls of sugar, one tablespoonful of salt and vinegar to molisten thoroughly. This is a good relish to serve with fish. Silver Leaf Cake.—Take two and three-fourths cupfuls of pastry flour, one and one-fourth cupfuls of granulated sugar, two-thirds of a cupful of water, one-half cupful of butter, the whites of seven eggs, three teaspoonful of baking powder, one teaspoonful of flavoring, and one-half teaspoonful of salt. Cream the butter, add the sugar, mix well, then add the flour and dry ingredients sifted together, alternating with the water; fold in the stiffly beaten whites and bake in a moderate oven for one hour. Pound Cake.—Take ten eggs, two cupfuls of sugar, four cupfuls of flour, one and one-half cupfuls of butter, two teaspoonfuls of lemon extract, one teaspoonful of salt. Cream the butter, add the sugar, and beat until white and foamy. Separate the yolks and whites of the eggs, beat well. Add alternately one heaping tablespoonful of flour with a small portion of the beaten yolk and white, beating well between each addition. The success of a pound cake depends upon the fine ingredients and much beating—then, finally the baking in a slow oven at first, increasing the heat to a moderate oven. Bake one hour and a half. Barbecued Ham.—Have the ham cut very thin and broil quickly. Arrange on a hot platter and add to the fat in the pan a teaspoonful each of sugar and made mustard, a dash of red pepper and four tablespoonfuls of vinegar. Stir until bubbling hot, then pour over the ham and serve at once. Nellie Marwee Resources of American National banks on September 28, 1925, totaled $24,569,525,000.

The traveler in Arabia is impressed first with the desolation of the landscape, says Paul W. Harrison in "The Arab at home." The desert, which is the real home of the Arab, includes practically the whole of the peninsula except the two southern corners and the western edge, where low mountain ranges take its place. It is for the most part a plateau rising to a height of some 125 feet above the sea and more than that in its western part. It is not a uniform expanse of sand, as popular imagination pictures it. By far the greater part is rocky, and there is a certain amount of good arable soil. The feature that distinguishes the desert and gives it its particular characteristics is its aridity. During the winter and spring there may be as much as three to six inches of rainfall. For the remainder of the year there is none. The rocky plains stretch from horizon to horizon. Sometimes the landscape is dead flat; sometimes rolling, as in our western prairies in the vicinity of a great river. For some hours the traveler from the Hasa oasis near the Persian gulf coast to Riyadh in Inland Arabia passes over a great rocky plain which is quite black. From a distance the imagination pictures it as an immense asphalt roof covering some inferno of heat underneath, but once reached it is found so solid that it seems rather as if the very framework of the earth has been upheaved to view. The crevices and irregularities are filled with yellow sand which at times almost obliterates the black foundation underneath. Certain parts of the desert are vast expanses of sand, quite according to the popular imagination. It is a yellowish, cream-colored sand, and it drifts into great dunes, fifty feet high or more. And there are people who live in that desert, not travelers only, but permanent residents. They live there not merely during the spring when there is a little rain, but the year around. How can men live in a country like that? The well is the answer. The little green vegetation to be seen in the spring when the meager rains come soon dries down, and the inexperienced eye of the stranger would scarcely find it. Nevertheless, it is sufficient for goats and camels and perhaps sheep to graze upon if wells can be found in addition where they can be watered every evening. So it happens that the most precious things in Arabia are the wells. Caravan routes may be crooked, but the reason is never far to seek. . . . It is the well that is the essential thing. Wherever water can be secured, there men can live. It is not such a life as would be popular in America, but men live, and women live, and children live there, and love their desert with an unparalleled devotion. Transplanted to a real garden spot of the earth, they weep for, a glimpse of their beloved desert. The love of the desert is a very deep and a very beautiful thing. For political purposes one of these desert chiefs was urged to give up his residence in the open and arid desert and come to live in the town. The greater comfort and luxury to be found in the town were pointed out to him as contrasted with the hardships and loneliness of the desert; but the old chief did not see it that way. "In the town," he said, "I have no doubt that I shall find all the things which you describe, but out here in the desert I have my family and my goats, great distances and God."

"Interview" That Has Gone Down in History Those correspondents in Washington who emerge from conferences with the President confused as to what, if anything, he said, must look back at the first interviewer of a President with sincere envy. The first Presidential statement made to a newspaper reporter came from the glad sea waves of the giggling Potomac. Anne Royall, the "ploneer in modern journalism," sat on President John Quincy Adams' clothes on shore and listened to what the bather, clad only in river water and dismay, had to say. There were no "ah's" and "oh's." Whenever she failed to grasp the sense of a remark, she demanded an explanation. And the President clarified it nobly. The story is told entertainingly in "Seventy-five Years of White House Gossip," by Edna M. Colman. Nowadays the correspondents in Washington assemble at the White House at a certain hour of a certain day and park their walking sticks. Then they are admitted to the solemn one who is glancing through a pack of questions which formally have been sent him. Occasionally he makes a statement. It is current knowledge that one statement he made a few weeks ago was interpreted as "yes" by half of the reporters, and as "no" by the other half. Nothing like that went "with Anne Royall, a woman of many summers. She wanted the President's idea about the state bank question. Every morning it was his custom to scurp up the Potomac for a swim. Bathing suits were not yet in fashion. She followed him one day and sat upon his clothes. Standing chin deep, he replied to her questions. And an old woman scooped the world with the first interview with a President of the United States. . . and a real interview, too.—Richmond News-Leader Wolves Make Trouble As a consequence of the recent bitter cold and the heavy snowfalls many wolves and wild boars have descended from the mountains and made their appearance on the Carso and in other parts of the Julian Venetia, says Milan correspondent of the London Times. One night wolves besieged the station of Prestane-Mattegna, near Trieste, where the employees barricaded the building and defended themselves. The wolves disappeared only at dawn. At San Pietro del Carso two big wild boars were killed. One of them weighed more than 600 pounds. A number of wild boars appeared in the province of Savona, along the Riviera. Two were killed. In Umbria wolves are reported to be ravaging the countryside. A reward of 400 lire ($15) for each wolf shot is being offered by various municipalities. Maine produces 170,000,000 tooth picks daily from the hardwood timber.

PORTO RICO WOMEN RISE AGAINST LIQUOR PARTY (San Juan, Porto Rico, Feb. 26.—Members of the Porto Rico Women's Christian Temperance Union failed Thursday in an attempt to prevail on Prohibition Administrator Hanlon to prohibit a carnival celebration in the Spanish Casino at Ponce, which the women said "disregarded and ridiculed' the Constitution of the United States. The interior of the casino was decorated to represent a Kentucky "moonshine" cave, and the carnival queen was called the "Queen of Volstead Violators." Members of the queen's court were costumed to represent champagne, vodka, creme de menthe and cocktails. If you are looking for a real hearty welcome, visit St. James A. M.

It is murder plus revolution and anarchy. It is murder plus the flouting and overthrow and trampling under foot of the prerogatives of the courts." Constitution Quoted. Mr. Johnson asserted that Section I of the 14th Amendment assuring "equal protection of the laws" to all citizens, was the basis for the proposed law: "It appears that this Amendment was adopted for the specific purpose of meeting just such a contingency as this measure proposes to remedy, the securing to Negroes of the equal protection of the laws. And no one would contend for a moment that the victims of lynch law receive equal protection of the laws." Thomas H. R. Clark told the committee the colored people of the South are denied political rights and privileges, but he said they are not asking Congress to take any action to cure that condition. They are only asking, he said, that their lives be protected. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell of Washington, D. C., also testified in support of the pending legislation.

Cannon was on duty at the Roosevelt Theatre at 145th street and Seventh avenue, when he saw the thief trying to steal two fur coats belonging to theatre patrons. He was not in uniform and he pursued the man down the street. At 144th street, he fired his revolver. As the thief dropped, Patrolmen James Carter and Dudley ran up.

IN THE Spot Light By Johnny Walton HUBBARD COPS SERIES De Hart Hubbard, world's broad jump champion and holder of the Intercollegiate record for the 100 yard dash, has returned to his best form and was one of the stars of the first annual indoor track meet of the Crescent Athletic Club in Brooklyn, February 11. Hubbard scored the first leg on the trophy donated by Supreme Court Justice James C. Cropsey. He won first place in the sprint series with 14 points. The second and third men had 12 and 10 points respectively. The broad jump champion won the "75" and "century" and was second to Cyril Coiffe of the Illinois A. C. in the "90." The sprint series furnished three hair-raising finishes, as only a few inches separated the first and second runner in each race. Chick Suggs-Ernie Fliegel Bout Suggested. Matchmaker John Reddy is said to be looking for a suitable opponent for Ernie Fliegel, the new-born feather-weight sensation of Minneapolis and in so doing he will no doubt try to find someone that is not too far in advance of Fliegel in ring experience which is the only thing that needs to be considered as Ernie has everything but needs a time to accumulate ring generalship. In looking over the eastern field we find Chick Suggs, a colored sensation created over night with but little if any more experience at real top notch festable than has Fliegel. He also is one whom we could get a line on as to qualifications by his most recent defeat of Jackie Nichols, one of our home town boys. By this we can say that a bout between Suggs and Fliegel should be a hummer and a box office attraction that Reddy can not beat for the money. HERE-TO-FORE Jack Dempsey has been considered as the greatest fighter of all ages, but various writers are now finding many points of weakness about the champion. Jimmy Dougherty who refereed the bout at Shelby, starts his article speaking of the fight with these words: "As poor a fighter as Tommy Gibbons was, he licked Dempsey the first ten rounds." He then goes on to mention how bad George Godfrey used Dempsey in training until he finally lost his job. All of which is true about Godfrey, and it's a safe bet that he can do the same to all the rest of the heavies, and we may not be too sure about even Harry Wills being able to handle the rugged Negro.

ORDER RECALLS TRIP OF FIRST VIRGINIANS Among old Virginia legends none perhaps is so romantically interesting as the tale of the founding of the Order of the Knights of the Golden Horseshoe. In Virginia, in the Eighteenth century, Alexander Spottwood, governor of the state, created the order when, acting in the place of the earl of Orkney, he presented the companions of his "Tramontane Expedition" each with a small golden horseshoe set with jewels, and bearing the motto, "Sic Invat Transcendere Montes." The expedition was got together by Governor Spottswold, who conceived the project of marching with a party of genial companions over the Blue Ridge mountains to the unknown land, which was then supposed to abound with wild animals and which was also supposed to be the source of the great Mississippi. His excellence, bitten by the urge of discovery, sent invitations to a number of his friends to accompany him, cautioning them to have their riding horses carefully shod. The entire party included about fifty, and these were accompanied by packhorses, abundantly supplied with choice provisions, and, natively adds the chronicler, "an extraordinary variety of liquors." The pack animals carried tents, and at night these were unrolled and set up. Then the fun would begin. Venison and bear meat, the result of the day's sport, were roasted at great fires; the provisions and liquors would be brought out. The latter embraced "Virginia red and white wine, brandy, shrub champagne, Irish usquebaugh, two kinds of rum, canary, cherry punch and cider." Finally, the intrepid party reached the headwaters of the Rapidan; then, setting out again, reached the summit of the Blue Ridge mountains. Here they looked backward and forward at the superb view—the very first time seen by Angio-Saxon eyes. At this spot the whole party, we are told, drank the health of King George I and the separate healths of every member of the royal family. From here Spottswood and his horseshoe knights descended the western slope and crossed the Shenandoah. The western bank was the extreme limit of their march. Here they camped a few days and then they prepared to retrace their steps across the mountains. Before doing so, however, they determined to celebrate the occasion with a grand banquet. A little golden horseshoe, set with garnets, is nearly all that remains to recall that gay little incident in Virginia history—Detroit News. Vessel for Arctic Whether it is possible to build a steel vessel that can withstand the pressure of ice packs in the Arctic ocean sufficiently to replace the cutter Bear is a lively topic among coast guard men on the Pacific this winter. The Bear, wintering in San Francisco after her thirty-seventh summer cruise into the Alaskan arctic in the coast guard, was constructed of thick oak in Greenock, Scotland, in 1874. With $25,000 appropriated by congress, it has been proposed to replace the Bear, following next summer's cruise, with a twin-propelled steel vessel. The doubters declare no steel vessel can stand heavy ice pressure, because the metal will first bend and then break. They also predict that the ice will quickly rip off one or both of the exposed twin propellers. Same Today Canon Hannay, known to fiction as George A. Birmingham, maintains that nowadays the most dramatic sermons are preached in Ireland. A friend of his heard a preacher in a Connaught village expatiating on the terrors of hell. "The lions will roar at yez," he told his congregation. "The owls will hoot at yez, and the hyenas will laugh yez to scorn." Another Irish preacher, having described how Jeebel painted her face, her head and looked out of the window at Jehu, remarked: "And would you believe it, the huzzy was nigh on sixty years of age." Any Old Excuse President Jerry B. Sullivan of the United States board of general appraisers was talking about smuggling. "Nearly everybody can find an excuse," he said, "for doing a bit of harmless smuggling. We're like the little boy who was getting dressed for a holiday party. "Oh, no, mother,' he said, 'you ain't a-goin' to wash my ears, too! Oh, no, not on your life! " "Why not? said his mother. "Why, consharn it,' growled the boy, 'don't it say on the invitation that this is an informal party?" To Test Old Tradition Near Ullensaker, in Norway, is a grass-grown and tree-grown tumulus. "Raknehaugen," 60 feet high and over 300 feet in diameter. Legend says it contains the remains of an unknown king, lying in a stone chamber, upon a couch between two white horses. In 1870 an attempt was made to open the mound, but after several perilous falls of tons of earth and sand the excavators abandoned the work. Archeologists are preparing to make a fresh attempt to test the truth of the tradition. Red Hair Distinctive Mark of Famous "Vamps" Skin pale as elder blossoms, green eyes, and red hair; there you have the up-to-date vamp, writes Mrs. Stanley Wrench in the London Evening News. All sorts of legends and traditions explain why red hair has usually been looked upon with distrust. The Danes who conquered England were reputed to have red hair, and the fair-headed Saxons hated the color. Even among the old Greek myths we find the Medusa, the terrible Gorgon, had crisp red locks, which afterward were changed to blissing serpents. But when we leap onward and reach the pages of Homer we find that the immortal Helen of Troy, the most beautiful woman in the world, had red hair, and surely here we discover the secret of the red-haired mix; for although Helen's name has passed down to us right through the centuries as the most radiant being the world has ever seen, she was siren and temptress, too. The ten years' war, distress and desolation, yet most vividly of all we remember that scene on the walls of Troy when Helen met the old men, and their hearts grew weak as water as they gazed at her and her beauty. Curses died away. Red-haired beauty won. Cleopatra, "serpent of old Nile," had red hair. She was not beautiful; indeed, authorizes declare her to be quite plain, even nub-nosed, but she had red hair, and won Mark Antony, prince of lovers, whose sole thought was to please the Egyptian siren. Queen Elizabeth must have thought red hair becoming, for it is said she wore a red wig when she wished to look at her best; the ill-fated but lovely Mary Queen of Scots is reputed to have had red hair; and we know that Laura, whom Petrarch has immortalized by his verses, first attracted him by her red tresses. "Red hair, hot temper," runs an old Midland saying; indeed, it seems to be generally acknowledged that redhaired folk have fiery tempers. Devices to Aid Deaf Some day ear specialists may fit patients with instruments suited to their particular form of deafness, just as eye specialists now fit glasses to patients with eye troubles. A first step toward this distant goal has been taken in the attempt to standardize the many hearing devices now on the market. A survey of these devices is being made by a committee of the American Federation of Organizations for the Hard of Hearing with the cooperation of the United States bureau of standards, which will test instruments submitted to it and will render a confidential report to the members of the committee. Dr. Wendell C. Phillips, president-elect of the American Medical association, and chairman of the federation committee on research, has said that there are more than seventy-five varieties of hearing aids on the market, and that they vary greatly. Small, but Important Keeping track of the one-celled plants and animals, too small to be seen except with a microscope, yet vastly important as the ultimate food of fishes and all other sea life, is the task of W. E. Allen of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, Cal. Though these minute plants, belonging mainly to the diatom family, are too small to be eaten directly by fishes, they form the food of tiny shrimplike creatures that in their turn form the food of fishes. An understanding of the effects on the diatoms of light, temperature, chemical and other conditions is therefore important in building up an eventual complete understanding of fisheries and other sea industries. Mr. Allen explains. The Three Wild Men In illustration of the amusing misunderstandings of things happening in our good city during the Christmas times may be mentioned the impressions of a little five-year-old boy who took part in a tableau at one of the churches depicting beautiful events commemorating the nativity. On being asked by his mother the next morning who it was followed the star until it stood above the manger in Bethlehem, he replied: "The three wild men." Being further asked what kind of gifts they brought, he replied: "Gold, frank-in-cense and mercury."—Indianapolis News. The Square Peg Geoffrey Morgan, the new head of the Dark Tobacco Growers' association, was talking in Hopkinsville about square pegs in round holes. "It reminds me," he said, "of the husband who complained gently to his wife: "It's awfully kind of you, dear, to undertake to supply my smoking requirements, but these cigars—er—well, you know, I'm afraid ten for a quarter is a little too cheap." "Yes, said his wife, 'it's frightfully cheap, of course, but I thought there'd surely be one or two good ones in the bunch.'" Machine Unwinds Cocoons An Italian inventor, Doctor Floruzzi, and an industrialist, Signor Balbani, have invented a device that is expected to revolutionize the silk industry. It automatically presents the cocoon to the spinning machine, holds it while it is being mechanically unwound and twisted into thread, removes the remains and presents a fresh cocoon. It is asserted that the thread is in no wise inferior to that obtained by hand methods, while the saving of labor is great. ST.

Gilev, has invented a new musical instrument which, he hopes, will replace upright and grand planos. The instrument, which has an ordinary keyboard, is in the form of a box one yard wide and weighing only eight pounds. The usual strings are replaced by a steel comb, and the little hammers by tiny pinchers which touch upon the teeth of the combs. Russian composers and musicians, including Ippolito-Ivanov and Avranek, who have played the instrument at the Moscow Conservatory of Music, testify that it is capable of replacing existing planos and that it has a stronger tone and better intonations than the ordinary planos. The new instrument has been named "Pincheton." For Chinese Students Sun Yat-sen university for Chinese students has opened in Moscow with an attendance of 300, 30 being girls. The university confines itself to academic courses for Chinese who want to study abroad. Some of the students are from Canton and southern China, but most of them are from Mongolia and the north. Inquiries among them to ascertain their protearian or bourgeois origin showed that nearly all of them came from well-to-do families or had been attracted to Moscow for adventure and entertainment. One peasant's son materialized, but his father has 170 acres and 30 cows—plainly a bourgeois in either Russia or China. Wheels Within Wheels Prof. William Lyon Phelps was talking about a poor book that had been greatly overpraised. "Criticism," he said, "isn't always unbiased. Wheels within wheels, you know. It's like the good old story of the prisoners in Germany. "Dear mother—Here I am at last in the beautiful German prison. I have a fine room, with clean sheets, good food, and cigars—Your loving son, Tom. "P. S.—Jack was shot yesterday for complaining." His Acuteness "My nephew, who was attending college in Manhattan and taking a course in electrical engineering, has gone to Schenectady, N. Y., to take a job with an electric company," said Farmer Fumblelegate. "He always was a bright lad," commented Farmer Funter. "Yes, sice! Why, he knew how to spell 'Schenectady,' the first time I asked him."—Kansas City Star. SPECIAL SALES UNTIL MARSE Shampooing and $1.25 509 University Ave. Dale Apex System HAIRDRESSING call MRS.
