VOL.1, NO.34 CONFERENCE GETS UNDER WAY WITH STOREY ADDRESS CONFERENCE GETS UNDER WAY WITH STOREY ADDRESS President of N. A. A. C. P. Urges Colored People to Unite for Citizenship Rights. Voting Counsel Given Appeal to Public Opinion Outlined as Means of Aiding Racial Harmony. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) Chicago, June 24.—Declaring that for Negroes in America "there are no Republicans and no Democrats, only friends and opponents," Moorfield Storey of Boston; President of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, in a message read at the opening mass meeting last night of the Association's Seventeenth Annual conference, urged colored people to unite in behalf of their citizenship rights. Mr. Storey, who was secretary during Reconstruction Days to Senator Charles Sumner, and has been President of the American Bar Association, could not come to Chicago because of the strain of such a journey in his advanced years, sending the message real last night. Rights Sought. "We represent more than twelve million persons of Negro blood," Mr. Storey's message continued, "entitled under our Constitution and laws to every right that belongs to any American citizen, sure eventually to receive those rights, and determined to fight for them until they are secured. "The need of the hour is union. We must act together, work together, and vote together. We ask no charity, no privilege, only the rights of every American citizen, the right to live unmolested in any house where we have a legal right to live, the right to be protected in our persons and our property against mob violence, the right to a fair trial if accused of crime or involved in any civil controversy, the same rights that any other citizen has in public parks, public schools, and all public institutions supported by taxes of which our taxes are a part. We ask equal rights in public conveyances, public hotels, public places of amusements, and above all, we want the right to vote, for otherwise we are taxed and drafted without representation, the cause of the Revolution which established the United States. Vote Solidly. "How shall we use our votes? The answer is: 'Vote together for men who will work for our rights and for no others.' There are for us no Republican and no Democrats. There are only friends and opponents. We are tired of promises, pleasant words, appeals to our gratitude for the acts of dead men fifty years ago. We want what those men did unheld now; we want the Constitutional Amendments which they passed enforced; we want the rights which they gave us recognized; and no man who will yield any jot of those rights will receive our support. Let us make this clear and even the fraction of our votes which we can cast will be found a mighty weapon. "Our next weapon is the courts of the country. Our experience has abundantly satisfied us that the courts are our surest allies, and we have won many substantial victories. Our rule must be that wherever any right is infringed our organization must be ready to take the case into (Continued on page 3) PROMINENT MORTICIAN INJURED IN MOTOR WRECK W.

The case, which challenges the right of the Texas legislature to bar Negroes from voting in the state Democratic primary elections, has been appealed from the district Federal Court by the N. A. A.

Mrs. Adeline Sawyer lost $200 last Thursday night when she handed that amount to two strangers at Broad and Bridge streets who had "just found a pocketbook." They'd divide the contents of it with her, they said, if she'd hand over her money to show her "good faith." She did. The men left. The pocketbook was empty. If the world isn't using you right, make sure you are using the world right. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1926 Intellectual Stagnation Will Result From Widespread Resumption of Intolerant Attitude, Goodnow Says. (Preston News Service) Baltimore—America has been and is prevented by intolerance from becoming truly a "land of the free," Dr. Frank J. Goodnow, president of Johns Hopkins University, told the fiftieth year graduating class. American civilization is likely to drift into a period of intellectual stagnation, he declared, unless the new generation goes out into the world to "fight intolerance and stand for freedom of thought and expression." "Although supposedly a free people, we are subjected probably to a more comprehensive official control as to our personal conduct than most peoples," he said. "Indeed, in the public mind, little, if any, distinction is made between vice and crime. Little trust is given the efficacy of ethical teaching. Much reliance is placed on criminal punishment. Recent legislative and governmental tendencies have shown how dangerous is the attempt to prophecy with regard to human conduct. Whatever may have been the progress in the last 75 years, it would seem that the American people in recent years are reassuming their former intolerant attitude." SEGREGATION TO BE RE-CONTESTED Legal Committee of National Association Meets to Plan New Mode of Attack. New York, June 25.—The National Legal Committee of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has held a meeting to discuss further steps in the segregation fight, following the U. S. Supreme Court's decision in the Curtis Segregation Case in Washington, D. C. The meeting was held in the offices of Louis Marshall, 120 Broadway, and besides Mr. Marshall there were in attendance Arthur B. Spingarn, Chairman of the Committee; James A. Cobb of Washington, Herbert K. Stockton and James Weldon Johnson, Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P. Because of the fact that the Supreme Court did not pass upon the merits of the case but declared itself to be without jurisdiction, the Committee decided to take up another case as soon as it may be possible that will force a conclusive opinion upon the fundamental questions involved.

Gross Receipts $405.96 Highly Successful Effort of Minneapolis Branch Summed by Pickens. Three hundred people gathered at St. Peter A. M. E. church last Thursday night to greet Dean William Pickens, Field Secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., and to witness the close of the Popular Baby Contest. Mr. Pickens fully sustained his reputation as a humorous and interesting speaker, yet won the earnest attention of his auditors as from time to time he injected into his talk matters of serious moment and discussed from an unusual viewpoint the ever present problems of his peo- Program Given. A short program by the young people preceded the lecture. Miss Vesta Mosely presided, presenting as the opening number the Junior Girls from Phyllis Wheatley House, who sang several songs very acceptably. A group of little girls from Bethesda Baptist church presented an amusing skit called the "Little Grandmas." It was hugely enjoyed. Miss Mosely then introduced Miss Eunice Doughty who presented to the audience the speaker, Mr. Wm. Pickens. During the lecture the committee in charge of the baby contest was receiving the returns, which will be found in the report submitted below. The local organization is highly elated over the success achieved and is deeply grateful for the earnest and intelligent work of the committee, consisting of Mrs. Fannie M. Shanks, chairman; Mrs. W. R. Banks, Mrs. Elizabeth Cheatham and Mrs Jessie Shepherd. Report Made. The chairman of the membership drive, Dr. M. W.

George Ducrest, the colored man who is alleged to have killed John Carroll, white prizefighter, during a street fight in Carteret, New Jersey, the consequence being the burning of a Negro church and the driving out of town of 100 colored people, has been convicted of second degree murder and sentenced to from 18 to 30 years in prison. A masterly defense of Ducrest by Attorney William J. Brandon of Newark, who volunteered his services, saved him from execution in the electric chair. The New Jersey Branches of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People agreed to pay the cost of the trial and the National Office of the N. A. A. C. P. contributed $50 to the defense. A local white newspaper speaking of the work of Attorney Brandon, wrote: "Attorney Brandon seemed to have an uncanny knowledge of the various jurors who were drawn, seemed to know their relationships about the county and their minds fairly well." Rev. Louis H. Berry, who represented the N. A. A. C. P. at the trial, reports that prejudice of white eye-witnesses and absence of defense witnesses prevented substiation of Ducrest's plea of self-defense, but that all present at the trial agreed a notable victory had been won in saving him capital punishment or life imprisonment. Former St. Paul Pastor Will Take Over Consolidated Church Sheriffs To Get Medals From Interracial Commission For Holding Off Southern Mobs Sheriffs To Get Medals From Interracial Commission For Holding Off Southern Mobs B. N. Murrell, Now of Quincy, Ill., Effects Consolidation of Churches of City; Social Work Planned. Through the efforts of the Rev. B. N. Murrell, formerly pastor of Pilgrim Baptist church of St. Paul, the two colored Baptist churches of Quincy, Ill., are to consolidate after a period of separation of 37 years. The Rev. Mr. Murrell is at present the pastor of the First Baptist church of Quincy, with which congregation the members of Union Baptist church met in the first consolidation services June 20. Stay of Seven Years. Since November 1, 1919, Mr. Murrell has been in charge of the First Baptist church of Quincy. Largely because of the efforts of Mr. Murrell, a $6,400 parsonage for the church was bought and paid for in six months. In social work Mr. Murrell has achieved a signal success in gathering enough resources to have bought a two-story brick building large enough to house the social life of the race members of the community. The building has been completely remodeled for the activities which will be started there within a short time. Extensive Repairs Made. Extensive Repairs Made. Crowning the work of Mr. Murrell has been the development of a spirit of co-operation which has resulted in the vote to consolidate the two congregations. Services at the present time are being held in the building of Union Baptist church while the First Baptist structure is being given an extensive remodeling. Among the improvements to be made at First Baptist are raising the roof four feet, redecorating the interior, laying new floors and placing new windows, building a new front, building a retaining wall, and build-(Continued on page 2) Nigger Heaven Will Be Illustrated by Douglass New York, June 25.—Two drawings by Aaron Douglass, young colored painter and draftsmaker, now on the staff of The Crisis, are to be used as illustrations for Carl Vanechten's forthcoming novel, "Nigger Heaven," the scene of which is laid in Harlem. Messrs. Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., are publishing the book, further inform the N. A. A. C. P. that the two drawings of Mr. Douglass are to be used in all of the advertising of the book. The publishers are so pleased with Mr. Douglass' work that they plan to use in future other work by him. U. B. F. LODGE PLANS DRIVE The local Deputy, Dr. E. S. Weber, entertained the U. B. F. Lodge and invited guests, Monday evening at Union Hall. Rev. L. W. Harris was the principal speaker of the evening, outlining many interesting points on building up the lodge. The U. B.

(Preston News Service) Atlanta, Ga., June 25.—For the recognition of sheriffs who exercise notable diligence in the protection of prisoners threatened by mobs, the Commission on Interracial Co-operation has prepared handsome bronze medals which will be awarded by a committee composed of Gov. John W. Martin of Florida, Gov. Henry L. Whitfield of Mississippi, Ex-Governor Hugh M. Dorsay of Georgia, Geo. R.

Bright Lights Of Chicago Lure Air-Mail Pilots Making an engagement to be filmed in Chicago the evening of the day that you leave Chicago for St. Paul is one thing and being able to keep it is another. This is easily done in your sleep, that is, it is often done in one's dreams, but now it has become a reality through the practice of the pilots on the Dickinson contract air mail route from Chicago to St. Paul. Pilots leaving Chicago at 5:45 A.M. for St. Paul often make engagements for the same night in Chicago, and the only difficulty they have in keeping their engagement is being able to get the pilot that is leaving the other end of the route to change runs with him, so he can get back to Chicago at 7:15 P. M. Pilot Behnke left Chicago Thursday, June 24, at 5:45 A. M. and arrived in St. Paul 20 minutes ahead of schedule accompanied by his wife, who apparently likes the looks of St. Paul as she was all smiles as they landed. Mr. Behnke told James Lehne, assistant superintendent of mails that, "instead of bringing Santa Claus to St. Paul he brought his wife." Mrs. Behnke had kept herself busy on the trip arranging the mail. Pilot Behnke and wife left St. Paul at 3:10 P. M. with a consignment of mail and arrived in Chicago at 7:15 P. M. just in time for the first performance of an evening movie. That the air mail is proving its worth while is shown by the fact that a large number of local business houses are using the service to a great advantage. Nedals From Commission For Off Southern Mobs President of Athens College, Alabama. All nominations for the award will be presented on a public occasion by some representative person in each state. The medal is a beautiful work of art in bronze and was designed by one of the leading American sculptors. Its preparation was authorized by the Interracial Commission at the annual meeting of 1925 as part of the effort for the elimination of mob violence which is being carried on by many representative agencies and individuals throughout the South. --- ONE SWALLOW does not make a summer, they say, any more than one vote makes a governor.

Suit Uncontested, Carr Letters, Witnesses Available to Prove Long-Standing Discontent, Carr Says. Following an action which has been pending for some months, Mrs. Ollie B. Carr was granted a divorce by District Judge R. D. O'Brien Monday from the Reverend T. J. Carr, one of St. Paul's best known pastors, who at present has the pastorate of the St. Paul Baptist church, Central Ave. at Mackubn street. By the stipulation entered into, Rev. Mr. Carr agreed to give his wife a half interest in property which he is purchasing in Illinois, to pay her $100 as alimony, and to pay W. T. Francis, her local attorney, and her Chicago attorney $100 each. Grounds for Suit. Mrs. Carr sued on grounds of nonsupport, desertion and adultery. In her complaint she alleged that she was informed that her husband secured a divorce from her in Chicago in February, 1912. Early in the fall of 1913, she charged, her husband sent for her to join him in Ottumwa, Iowa, and she went there and came to St. Paul in 1917. Later, she charged, Mr. Carr sent her to Chicago, where he promised to join her. 1925 Climax. Last August, however, the Rev. Mr. Carr went to Chicago and informed Mrs. Carr that he could no longer live with her. Mrs. Carr charged further in her complaint that her husband married Eva Walker, a well known elocutionist of the Twin Cities, in Minneapolis, on January 4 of this year. Rev. and Mrs. Carr have two children, Joseph and Harold, both of whom live in Chicago. Rev. Carr Passive. Throughout the whole proceeding, the attitude of Rev. Carr has been one of passivity. In a statement made immediately after the settlement of the action, he said, "Concerning the matter put in court against me, I wish to state that there has been no trial insofar as my side of the question is concerned. "The matter should have come to trial before court adjourned for summer vacation, but neither attorney filed the note of issue, which was filed by my second attorney five weeks late. My deacons requested the court to advance the case on the calendar that it might be tried before court adjourned, but this was not done. "As no contest case can be heard during vacation, I agreed to give part of equity in property to complainant, and lawyers' fees, but no alimony. I agreed to this compromise rather than wait three or four months longer to try a case that should have been tried before court adjourned. Lived Under Protest. "I have numerous letters and living witnesses to prove that complainant's presence with me was under constant protest and against my will, (Continued on page 4) GILLES MAKES ADDRESS AT CHURCH CONFERENCE One of the speakers at the sixth session of the St. Paul A. M. E. district conference held in Duluth last week was E. W. Gilles, lay preacher, and Bible and missionary teacher, who addressed the Tuesday evening session of the series at the St. Mark's A. M. E. church. The topic of Mr. Gilles' address was "Footprints in Africa." A resident of the Twin Cities for many years, Mr. Gilles has been very active in his speciality of lay preaching. In those years his contacts with colored church people of the Twin Cities have been both pleasant and beneficial. V "Entered as second class matter Nov. 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879" HOWARD'S NEW PRESIDENT position of president of Howard University, the man is without a doubt the man with the hectic development of the States during the past several years. An experiment is to be tried which will many people both white and colorblind of placing Negro educators in colored schools.

The Board of Trustees is just in him when it tendered the a a Miller who were mentioned prior expressed contentment with the elegance to aid the new executive in equipped that the new administration of hardy co-operation in the attempt to an experiment, but a very sure sign Howard. That the position of president of Howard University has been offered to a colored man is without a doubt the most outstanding thing connected with the hectic development of Negro education in the United States during the past several years of troublous upheaval. In a sense, an experiment is to be tried which will formulate in the minds of many people both white and colored a fixed idea as to the advisability of placing Negro educators in positions of administration in colored schools. As a matter of fact, the situation has many more implications than the mere placement of a colored executive in the largest Negro school of higher education in the country. Factors which will never even be considered by the person who regards the appointment superficially will enter into the success or failure of a colored administrator. That the Board of Trustees has reached the place where it is willing to consider a Negro for the post of president is a truly significant thing, not alone because it indicates a confidence in the executive ability of a race man in as important a position as the presidency of Howard, but because it shows that white thinkers are realizing that a certain spiritual union should exist between a student body and a president which can very well grow out of a colored administrative office, but which emerges with the greatest difficulty, if ever, from the office of a white president. Bishop Gregg has before him a tremendous task. Already however, the faculty has pledged him its support whole-heartedly in a campaign of advance. The Board of Trustees indicated its confidence and trust in him when it tendered the appointment, and men like Kelly Miller who were mentioned prominently for the position have expressed contentment with the election and have indicated willingness to aid the new executive in every way. It is to be hoped that the new administration will receive from all angles a sturdy co-operation in the attempt to make this appointment not an experiment, but a very sure stepping stone to the bettering of Howard.

In spite of the protest of Senator Pat Harrison for reconsideration of the appointment of James A. Cobb to the position of municipal judge in the District of Columbia, the effort was fruitless, and Attorney Cobb is even now making arrangements to take over the responsibilities and title of Judge. Mr. Harrison in advancing his argument against Attorney Cobb, expressed the opinion that since Mr. Cobb was a lawyer for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, he should not be appointed on the theory that attorneys for "radical organizations" should not be appointed to judicial positions. In passing it is interesting to note that the vote against reconsideration was approximately two to one. In New York, Mayor Walker has reappointed Ferdinand Q. Morton a member of the Municipal Civil Service Commission, to serve for a further term of six years. Briefly, the function of the Commission is to supervise the appointment of employees to the city government, and to regulate generally all forms of service under the municipal head. Six years ago, Mr. Morton was first appointed to the Commission by Mayor Hylan. His reappointment under the new administration indicates efficiency and responsibility while in office, and shows the liberal trend of the governmental heads in the largest city in the world. A position on the Commission carries with it a remuneration of $7,500 annually. Not an appointment, and yet perhaps even more of an honor is to be bestowed upon Dr. Carter G. Woodson, editor of The Journal of Negro History, who, it has been announced, will receive this year the Spingarn medal. Each year the Spingarn medal is awarded to an American of African descent for the greatest contribution to the Negro race. The medal will be presented to Dr. Woodson at the final session of the N. A. A. C. P. seventeenth annual conference, June 29. These are the things for which men work; these things of responsibility, and trust, and service. When they are achieved, it is well that we should recognize the achievement, that out of that recognition may grow the burning spark of the desire to wrest similar places for both personal satisfaction and group progress.

The occasion for this article, written by Jack Conway, white, was the poor showing made by "Young" Stribling against Paul Berlenbach in a recent boxing exhibition, and the alleged refusal of this same Stribling to shake hands with Harry Wills, chief contender for the heavyweight crown of the world. "Stribling showed his appreciation of the biggest shot he ever had by putting on the most crayen exhibition shown by any fighter in New York since the enactment of the Walker law. Stribling was in there only to collect his $26,000 purse; and stay the limit. He stayed by clinching Berlenbach in a vise-like grip upward of sixty times in the 15 rounds. Stribling proved only that he is an over-rated collar ad, who is best suited to once-a-week barnstorming at the rate of what ever he can get for doing it. "Had any preliminary fighter fought the clinching farce of which W. L. was guilty he would have been heaved from the ring and would not have received a penny for his services. Yet the Southerner was allowed to get away with the farce as well as a small-sized fortune. The fight racket always has been good to acrobats. Even Fred Fulton will vouch for that. "Before the bout started this pretender to the outer fringe of Southern aristocracy, son of a family of circus tumblers, showed his true calibre by refusing to shake the hand of Harry Wills, colored challenger of Jack Dempsey. If Stribling ever had set foot in even a pseudo-aristocratic home in the South or anywhere else, he would realize that no one is quicker than the true Southern gentleman in grasping the hand of the "Darkie" in his new estate of freedom. "If any member of Stribling's family had advanced as much in the last 60 years as Harry Wills' race has moved forward, the Striblings, indeed, would have something more praiseworthy to point to than a craven prize-fighting son as the leading member of their clan." Dr. F. G. Cruikshank (white) of London, England, is pursuing a chemical study of the races to prove evolution. He hopes to hybridize the ourang-outang with the yellow man; the gorilla with the black, and the chimpanzee with the white, and then show what these hybrids will reproduce themselves. In short, he believes that different races were formed from these hybridations. A laboratory at Kindia, French West Africa, has been fitted up and granted necessary endowment by the Soviet Government. Pratt Institute orator, Dr. F. W. Griffin, holds that true laughter indicates the mind at play—the happy attitude—and that happy people are the best workers. It is a well known fact that Negroes are the world's best jesters. To laugh with them is to breathe, to live. This appeal for laughter was not made to them. It was not necessary. Kruger's Idea Was to Make Camp on Ocean The sight of the trackless ocean and a ship punching the waves, always brings back to this writer the authentic story of Paul Kruger, the president of the Transvaal republic, and his attempt to teach a group of Hottentot children the story of America's discovery, Pierre Van Passen writes, in the Atlanta Constitution. His representation of a ship conjured up a mental picture of a floating covered wagon. Oom Paul's imagination may have been magnificent, but it failed him miserably on the occasion when he was traveling from Capetown to Southampton in the pathetic mission of seeking aid for his country at the chancellories of Europe. When night descended Oom Paul, who in his youth had slain an African lion with his bare hands, became nervous and agitated. Finally he could hold out no longer. Briskly he climbed the ladder to the captain's bridge. The officer saluted. "Tell me," said the Boer president, "where do you plan to unhitch tonight. It's getting dark, you know, and I think we had better make camp." When reassured by the skipper he went back to his cabin, read the story of St. Paul's shipwreck, drank a stein of beer and fell asleep. The Dirty Work The helplessness of mere man in the presence of ordinary domestic tasks was illustrated in the case of the old miner, who explained that he had once tried to improve his cooking by studying a book of recipes. "It was no use," he said sadly, "because every one of them receipts starts off with 'take a clean dish.'" He was kin to the sons of a Mrs. MacLeod. She was called away from home one day just after dinner. As she was leaving she said to one of the boys: "One of you must wash the dishes and the other wipe them and put them away, so that everything will be tidy when I get back." "All right, mother," said Jack, "but Will's got to wipe them. I'm willing to wash, but wiping is such greasy work."

Cosmopolitan South Africa South Africa is among the most cosmopolitan places in the world, according to L. Kee, writing in the Sydney Bulletin. "I saw a suitcase in the window of a shop in Durban and decided to buy it," says Kee. "A pleasant Hindu took my order and requested a negro boy to get the article from the window. A girl (race unasscertainable because only her eyes were visible; but they had a suspicious blue Chinese tint in their whites) typed the sale note, and an aged white man took my cash. Finally a Zulu, dressed like Beelzebul, 'rickshawed me and the case to the hotel. Each addressed the other in a different lingo." Land in Extreme North? The theory that land exists between Alaska and the pole has persisted for hundreds of years, and Dr. R. A. Harris, an American geographer, won considerable notice a few years ago by offering Arctic tide tables as proof of the existence of a large land mass north of Alaska, says Burt M. McConnel, in the Independent. There is also the fact that geese and ducks have been observed flying directly northward from Point Barrow during the early summer, and returning with their young a few months later from the same point of the compass. These are a few of the interesting theories in favor of the existence of land. The Passing Show "Give me a sentence with the word andante." "I love my uncle andante."

A. A. C. P. "Cincinnati's Colored Citizens," by W. P. Dabney. Published by The Dabney Publishing Co., 412 Mc Allister Street, Cincinnati, Ohio. Price $3.25, postpaid. This book of 440 pages is a strange conglomeration of all sorts of material. There are extracts from magazines and newspapers on various subjects relating to the Cincinnati Negro, there are hundreds of biographical sketches; there are accounts of churches and fraternal organizations. Some of this is in small type and some in large. There are pages of short items such as: "The first Interracial Conference took place here this year" (No date), or "Dr. L. A. Cornish achieved distinction as a physician, acquiring valuable property and last year returned with his wife to Washington, the city of his birth." (No date) It ends with pages and pages of names of colored citizens, arranged alphabetically, without addresses, but placed under headings of city sections as "East End," "Walnut," etc. And the book has no index so that it is impossible to find any particula item without going through the whole volume. Why Mr. Dabney did not write a real book is hard to understand, as when he does write, especially in the historical section of the book, he is always interesting. His account of the settling of the city is good, and some of his sketches of individuals are excellently done. There is an illuminating chapter on the Negro in politics. But he only writes for a little time. Very shortly there will come, "From The Union, we have the following extract" or "we read in The Crisis." One quotation is by Lafcadio Hearn, and we are grateful to have it saved for us. It concerns "Bucktown" and was written by Hearn in The Commercial Gazette in the seventies. It is a vivid picture of a terrible slum. Mr. Dabney has some extremely interesting things to say regarding miscegenation. It will not be new to colored people but it will certainly be new to many whites. From his account he did something to educate Mr. Schmidlapp and others. With all this material, one wishes that Mr. Dabney had made a worthy study such as has been made of the colored people in Philadelphia, Boston and New York. Judging from my own experiences with my New York study, however, I suspect that in compiling a sort of colored Encyclopedia and Blue Book for Cincinnati, he has taken the step most likely to bring him some return commensurate to his work.

It is not possible to have window boxes at every window identical with those at every other window if the exposure is different, but they may harmonize. For sunny locations use nasturtiums verbena, sweet alysum, petunia, pansy, cornflower, snapdragon and marquiter; for shady places, nonflowering plants—the ferns, palms, English ivy, begonia, begling evonymus, asparagus sprengeri. Drooping effects may be had from lobelias, sweet alysum and others. For half shady windows, hanging fuschia with bush fuschia, or bush fuschia with marquiteres and vincas or hanging petunia with coba scandens, or pink fuschia, white marquiteres and vincas can be combined. Verbenas may be planted alone as they form a luxuriant mass of bloom and foliage. Pansies and sweet alysum are a delightful combination. Geraniums and English ivy are formal and go well in a formal house or along a dusty street which would thwart the growth of something more delicate. Very effective results may be had by trailing ivy upon a heavy cord to frame the window.—The Delineator. Savages at Feast The natives of Abyssinia are very fond of raw meat, but as such a diet is attended by considerable cost it is not so frequently indulged in and the result is that bread is the mainstay of the people. Occasionally a carcass is secured and a feast is indulged in by a number of persons who consume it entirely without cooking or any other preparation. The carcass is cut up and each of the participants takes a piece with a bone attached. Squatting on his haunches he holds the piece by the bone and makes a cut with a sharp knife. The partially severed piece is then taken in the teeth and finally severed with an upward movement of the knife. As one witnesses the operation it would seem that there was danger of severing the nose of the diner.—Chicago Journal. Capital is what you and I have saved out of yesterday's wages.

Evidence was taken in- terminably, although the verdict was usually based upon the Justice's point of view rather than upon any mere point of law. For example, I know of a planter who brought suit against one of his tenants for the recovery of a calf. His ownership being proved, he was awarded possession of the animal. Next he was ordered to pay the costs of the court. “But,” objected the planter, “I have won my case, The loser should pay.” “True,” agreed the justice, “But ‘then, m’sieu, you have the money, whereas the other has not.” However, it was in domestic mat- ters that these “prairie judges” really shone. One of them declared proudly that he could marry and divorce quicker than any other man in the state, “It is quite simple,” said he. “Gob- ble wishes to tle up with some girl ‘That is all right.

In an “Improved” form tt was revived in Germany in the Four- teenth century. The unfortunate vic- tim was lald upon a very large cart wheel, bis legs and arms extended and fastened to the spokes, and in that po- sition, as the wheel was turned around, his limbs were broken by suc cessive blows with an fron bar. In France, where the wheel was used only to punish criminals of the most atrocious sort, the victim was first bound to a frame of wood in the form of a St. Andrew's cross—that Is, two bars of equal length lald crosswise Uke an X. Grooves were cut trans- versely in these bars, above and below the knees and elbows, and the execu- tloner struck the limbs of the victfm eight blows so as to break them in these places, Sometimes he finished his work by striking the criminal two or three blows on the chest or stom- ach, which usually put an end to the sufferer’s life, and therefore were called blows of mercy. The punish- ment of the wheel was abolished in France at the revolution, In Germany it was occasionally inflicted early in the last century for the crimes of trea- son and parricide. Bird Sacred to Indians The ptarmigan, like the Indian, is susceptible to civilizing influence. Since the Indians of the Glacier Na- tlonal park reservation took up agri- culture, this mountainside bird has come down into the valleys, even to mingle with the barnyard chickens and eat of the Indian's wheat. ‘The ptarmigan turns pure white like a snowshoe rabbit in the winter time, and the Indian has a sacred regard for the feathered creature in this im- maculate transformation. Albinos are found among almost every species of bird and animal. eee | Bertha Smith Dressmaking & Designing Art Needle Work Dale 8623 423 Rondo St. Carpenter and Builder REMODELING RESHINGLING PORCHES, GARAGES e C.W.

No weeace: sHoP ‘SIXTH AT CEDAR wee Foolish Beliefs Not Confined to Sailors » In defense of the supposedly super- stitious fisherman, Lorenzo Sabine, in 188, in an article on the American fisherman, wrote: “it is sald that he is credulous and superstitious. Admit that Kidd's money has been dug for in every dark nook of the coast, or talked about in every cuddy for a century and a half, and that horseshoes are nailed upon the masts of fishing vessele to keep off witehes; what then? Is he the only ‘one who has been or still 1s gullty of the same follles? “In 1625 the duchess de Berri visited ‘& watering place in France and in- ujged in sea bathing. Salt water and fish which were afterward taken from the spot were articles of immense value and sold at enormous prices. In- deed, those persons who could not purchase a whole fish gladly possessed themselves of a few scales or a fin! ‘Tho water where the ‘royal person’ Shad been washed, when bottled and of- fered for sale, was known as ‘Berrl wine’ Have fishermen committed greater follies than these fashionable Deople of France?” Good for Lorenzo! ‘Today horse- shoes are so scarce that fishermen no longer nail them to the masts of thelr schooners to keep off witches, although they do hang used automobile casings over the side to keep off other craft that might rub their planking. Odd Masks Worn at Festivals for Dead One of the queer and interesting cus toms of the Melanesians, dark-skinned inhabitants of the South Sea islands, 1s the festival in honor of their dead. At their festivals masks of grotesque appearance play an important part, says the Detroit News, ‘A collection of such masks has been made for the American Museum of Natural History. One of them resem- bles a crested helmet, Masks of this type, It ts sald, must be carved in se- cret and presented to the public view only during the fugeral ceremonies. The crest of the mask represents an earller custom of hairdress of the na- tives when they were In mourning. In the early days they shaved thelr heads on such occasions, leaving only @ sin- ale ridge of hatr. One particular type has long, wing: lke processes. The face ts carved trom wood and the Abrous parts of plants are used in working out the other parts of the head. With such ‘masks bark 1s used as a covering for the neck. Masks from the Gazelle peninsula, New Britain, are made from the faclal bones of skulls. ‘The flesh is removed and replaced by sticky lumps of earth, Don’t Tell It ‘Two little sisters were talkative to excess, Often they divulged family secrets. Their grandmother, becoming provoked by thelr seemingly endless chatter, chided them by telling them they should keep everything “under their hats.” In mimicry, natural with children, Katherine, the elder, on an occasion assumed the advisory role of her grandparent by repeating the same words to her sister Anne, Anne raised her hand to her head and sald: “I have no hat on.” ——— | On Player Roll 50c AND COLUMBIA RECORDS LEHNERTS PIANO CO: | 525 Wabasha Street Page Three (Continued from page 1) court and there seek appropriate redress, Color Situation, “Finally there-is the never-failing appeal to public opinion, and now especially at this anniversary time ‘when men’s minds will be recalled to the great principles of American freedom. When the words of Wash- ington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln, and the great band whose spokesmen were Sumner, Phillips, Garrison and thelr associates, are quoted on every side, it is time to ask our fellow citi- zens what those words mean, and if they are proud to repeat them, whether it is only as a familiar jingle or as words of vital meaning by which they wish to live. The great commandment, the golden rule which is the very essence of Christianity, does not bid us love our white nelgh- bors as ourselves; Christ does not ask that little white children come unto him ‘for of such is the King- dom of Heaven.’ “We flatter ourselves that we are the most enlightened people on earth and are free with our criticism of European nations. Yet we are the only people on earth where human beings are burned alive at the stake, where men, women and children look on with approval and where the mur derers go unwhipped of justice and walk the streets, while the smell of burning flesh still pollutes the alr, with heads erect exulting in their barbarism. Go through this country and open your eyes. If you are civ- flized and Christians you cannot help being horrified at the treatment which is visited on our Negro fellows, and at the indifference with which it is regarded. “The good people of this country must get together.and uproot these abuses or the day will come when the whole country will suffer the bit- ter consequences. Abuses like those which the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People is formed to combat cannot long be tolerated without bringing the pun- ishment which may ‘have leaden feet but surely has iron hands.’ My friends, let us close up our ranks and press on.” Elkhurst 3473 | ElkTailoring Co.

Oakland & Pontiac Distributor 153 West Sixth Street CEDAR 1667 IN THE Spot Light By Johnny Walton Flowers vs. Fitz (Telecast News Service) New York, June 25.—Theodore (Tiger) Flowers, who holds the world's middleweight championship, conceded nearly twenty pounds to Young Bob Fitzsimmons last Friday night at Boyles Thirty Acres in Jersey City and handed him a lacing in a ten-round, no decision bout. The Tiger, fighting his second fight since he dethroned Harry Greb last February, escaped from an automobile accident with minor injuries only a few days ago, but his speed and punching power were unimpaired as as one could determine against the heavier, slower moving Fitzsimmons. Flowers carried off the honors in practically every round of the ten. He belted away at Fitzsimmons with a forceful, telling left hook that turned Fitz's body from his waist up to his neck into a mass of red flesh. He flickered his right into Fitz's face and broke up his attack time and again. And when the son of Ruby Robert attempted to use his weight to force Flowers against the ropes, he got nothing for his pains, for the Tiger fought his way out of any and all danger with that left of his. He kept hammering away at his rival unceasingly and only on a few occasions was Bob able to take the play away from the champion. Fitz put up a good fight and made the battle an interesting one from first to last, but he was outclassed all the way. Fitz opened a cut over the champion's eye midway in the bout, and this bleed slightly toward the end. That was the only damage inflicted on Flowers. A crowd of more than 15,000 witnessed the show in the huge pine arena erected by Tex Rickard for the Dempsey-Carpentier fight. --- St. Paul team defeated Phyllis Wheatley Baseball team, 13-5, at the Episcopal picnic Wednesday.

PAUL RED TOP CAB Organized Responsibility Organized Responsibility ATLANTIC 4000 MINNEAPOLIS Accounts of suicide in the news are almost always depressing. They lessen one's confidence in the strength of the human spirit. They may arouse pity, it is true, but except in unusual circumstances this is pity based upon a recognition of weakness. For suicide, speaking generally, is an abject confession of defeat, of complete failure of courage. And it signifies so narrow a vision, so limited an interest, for any man to say that in all the wide world nothing is left for him. Consider the words Jasper Petulengro, the Norfolk gypsy, spoke to George Borrow: "Life is sweet, brother." "Do you think so?" "Think so! There's night and day, brother, both sweet things; sun, moon and stars, brother, all sweet things; there's likewise the wind on the heath. Life is very sweet, brother; who would wish to die?" "I would wish to die—" "You talk like a glorio—which is the same as talking like a fool—were you a gypsy chal you would talk wiser, Wish to die, indeed! A Romany chal would wish to live forever!" "In sickness, Jasper?" "There's the sun and stars, brother." "In blindness, Jasper!" "There's the wind on the heath, brother; if I could only feel that, I would gladly live forever."—San Francisco Chronicle. Return to Normalcy After the Big Fight Little Elspeth and a friend were playing about the house and having seen the fire apparatus go down the street, thought it would be a lot of fun to play, fire. So they shouted "Fire! Fire!" until Elspeth's mother came rushing in from the back yard crying, "Where? Where?" Upon learning that it was all a joke, she sent Elspeth to her room, with the admonition never to play that game again, and went to her own room to take a nap. The quiet was soon broken by a monotonous thump, thump, thump on the stairs and there was Elspeth, attired in her best coat and gloves, dragging her doll's trunk down to the front door. "I is going to find a lady that wants a little girl," she said determinedly, but finally was persuaded that no one wants a little girl half as much as her own mother. Cuddled at last in her mother's arms, Elspeth sighed contentedly and then said: "Now zat you are my own good muver an' the big fight is over, s'pose we go an' unpack." Soup Early Human Food The art of soup making is one of the oldest forms of cookery of which we have any knowledge whatever. It denoted a distinct step forward of the civilization of the world when man learned that game which he trapped or killed might be prepared by a process of "stone boiling," affording him a broth and a meat in place of the charred product which hitherto he had cooked over the hot coals. The skin of the animal was his soup kettle in which he placed the meat and covered it with water. Then the improvised stock pot was hung in some convenient spot, and stones, heated in the fire, were placed in it, one after the other as they became cool, until finally, after hours of toil, the broth was ready for serving. Discord Her Specialty In classic mythology, Eris was the goddess of discord, and the sister of the war god Mars. In the legend of the Trojan war, Eris was the goddess who, indignant that she was the only one of all the gods and goddesses who was not invited to the marriage festivities of Peleus and Thetis, threw into the midst of the guests a golden apple, known since as the "apple of discord," which bore the inscription "For the fairest of the fair." The rivalry of the three deities, Hera, Athene and Aphrodite, for the gift was left to the judgment of Paris, the son of the king of Troy, who, being appointed unmple by Zeus, bestowed it on Aphrodite.—Kansas City Star.

According to Hoyle The traveling agent of a liver pill concern in the East struck this town to contract for an advertisement in the Torchlight, remarks the editor of the Snagtown (Ark.) Torchlight. Finding that he was an old newspaper man and that he purposed remaining two or three days to take in the town, we set out to post him on some of the idioms and customs. He thought he knew it all, however, and that's the reason he is in bedroom No. 48 in the hotel with a bullet in his groin. It seems that he dropped into the White Eagle still and took a hand in a game of poker. The game is rather eccentric in this town. Sometimes two pairs beat four of a kind, and sometimes not. It is a good deal according to who is playing and how much there is up. It seems that our friend got a royal flush and was called by three jacks. He at once jumped to the conclusion that he had won the jackpot, but he was sadly mistaken. Tom Ephram Smith was in the game, and it was an occasion when a pair of sixes, if held by Tom, would beat four aces. While raking in the pot the liver pill man was stopped by a bullet, and even if he gets well he will have a limp in his left leg. This town isn't big as Chicago or New York, nor as wicked as St. Louis or Cincinnati, but we have our customs and idioms just the same, and the stranger who can't tumble to them must take the consequences. Financial Deal Made "Arnold Bennett," said a New York publisher, "wrote a book about a miser, 'Riceman Steps,' and when I ventured to tell him that there were no misers nowadays, he told an anecdote to contradict me. "He said a chap named Scrooge was dying, and when the doctor let him know he had only an hour more to live, he passed his weak hand over his bristly chin and said in his weak voice: "Send for—a barber.' "When the barber arrived Scrooge said to him: "How much—to shave me?" "Sixpence, sir," said the barber. "And how much to shave a corpse?" gasped Scrooge. "Four shillin' to shave a corpse, sir," the barber answered. "Shave me, then," said Scrooge. "So the barber shaved him, and when the job was over Scrooge smiled a ghastly smile and muttered: "Three and six—to the good." Three and six to the good "Then his head fell back and he breathed his last."—Pittsburgh Chronicle-Telegraph. Birth of an Idea Raquel Meller told at a dinner in New York a story about Bernhardt, "Sarah Bernhardt," she said, "once complained to a friend that she was so hard up she didn't know which way to turn. "Sell your jewels,' her friend suggested. "I have none—I detest jewels,' said Bernhardt, and this was a well known fact. Then suddenly she clapped her hands and laughed. 'But there isn't a jeweler in Paris,' she went on, 'who wouldn't jump at the chance of auctioning off his stock as the collection of the divine Sarah.' "A week or two later there was an immense sale of Sarah Bernhardt's jewels at the Salle Drouet, and Sarah was once more on her feet."

Dickens' Clock Charles Dickens once wrote to his clockmaker as follows, says the Scientific Monthly: "Since my hall clock was sent to your establishment to be cleaned it has gone (as indeed it always had) perfectly well, but has struck the hours with great reluctance, and, after enduring internal agonies of a most distressing nature, it now has ceased striking altogether. Though a happy release for the clock, this is not convenient for the household. If you can, send down any confidential person with whom the clock can confer. I think it may have something on its works that it would be glad to make a clean breast of." Calling the Turn The pastor looked over his glasses and shook his uncut locks. "Carry out my original declaration," he said, "I am about to call the names of those persons who are now asleep in the congregation. John Haycock." There was no response. "John Haycock!" The stout man stirred again. "Be down in a minute," he drowsily murmured. "Keep things hot for me." The pastor's voice rang out: "You're going down, all right, John Haycock, and things will be kept very hot for you. I'm sure. Let us now sing the ninety-ninth hymn."
