Sidney Williams, talented local pianist, officiated at the pianp. Two girls, the Misses. Elizabeth and Mattie Murray, are employed as cashier and usher, respectively.

(Preston News Service) New York, Aug. 20.—According to an article in the August "Crisis" more than 8,600 Negro students were enrolled last year in American colleges and universities, over 7,000 of this number being in Negro colleges, and 1,600 in white institutions. The former conferred degrees on more than 1,000 students, 33 of whom received the degree of Master of Arts, 519 that of Bachelor of Arts, and 173 that of Bachelor of Science. There were 100 graduates in medicine, 72 in dentistry, 38 in pharmacy, 37 in law, and 47 in theology. In addition, the big northern universities conferred degrees on about 300 Negro students. Several received the degree of Ph. D., and a number were elected to membership in Phi Beta Kappa. The number graduating last year was about three times as great as that of five years ago. Among the M. A. graduates at Harvard was Countee Cullen, the young Negro noet, who last year won the Witter Bynner poetry prize in a national competition open to all college students. Mrs. E. B. Johnson and daughters, Mesdames J. Combs and W. H. Turner, were hostesses at a beautifully planned reception complimentary to their house guest, Mrs. Thos. Bell of Newark, N. J., Wednesday evening at the home of Mrs. Turner, 1047 Rose St. About 200 of the Twin City society folk enjoyed the affair. During the evening several musical selections were rendered by Mesdames Belle Tyler, Hattie Oliver, Matthews Rhode and Miss Lea Minor. Mrs. Thos. Bell and daughters were luncheon guests of Mrs. A. H. Lealtad and daughter Grace, Tuesday, after a tour through the University of Minnesota. The St. Paul Echo RAILROAD WILL START OWN COOKING SCHOOL (Preston News Service) Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 20—Plans for the establishment of cooking schools for the stewards, chefs and waiters of the dining car service were announced Wednesday by officials of the Pennsylvania Railroad company. The first of the schools will be located in Columbus, Ohio, where the company has under construction a new commissary building. Similar schools will be started later in Chicago and New York City. Not only will new employees be given instruction in the art of cooking, but older employees occasionally will be given short courses to refresh their training and make them more efficient. The schools will consist of a reproduction of the latest Pennsylvania railroad dining car kitchen. Graduates will be given diplomas. WOMEN ORGANIZE ECONOMIC CLUB WOMEN ORGANIZE ECONOMIC CLUB New Group Will Investigate Methods of Bettering General Income of Race. At a meeting held at the "Y" club Center Tuesday afternoon, August 17, officers were elected for a new women's organization to be known as the Pioneer Economic Club of St. Paul. The sole purpose of the club is to investigate and interest itself in the improvement of the group income. It is the first colored women's organization in the country to start with such an objective. Mrs. B. L. Morris was elected president; Mrs. J. W. Avery, vice-president, and Mrs. Frank Boyd, secretary-treasurer. Regular meeting dates will be given out later. All women in the city are invited to attend the meetings and become members of the organization. PORTO RICANS FEDERATE (Preston News Service) New York, Aug. 19.—At a mass meeting in the Harlem Casino, Lenox Avenue and 116th Street, the Porto Rican and Spanish-speaking peoples of Harlem formed an alliance to combat the assaults being made on them by the older Harlem residents. The assaults of the Jewish residents in Harlem on the Porto Rican and Spanish people that have recently entered the district is due to the bitter competition between the Spanish and Jewish merchants, it is claimed. CARELESS CLERK Moundsville, W. Va., Aug. 19.—A careless clerk almost caused the electrocution Wednesday of Philip Neuman, convicted of murder, ten days ahead of the fixed date. While preparations were being made at the state penitentiary for the hanging, it was discovered the court had set the date for August 20. The clerk had copied August 10. COLORED VOTERS BARRED IN ALABAMA PRIMARIES New York, Aug. 13—The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has received reports showing that Negroes were excluded from voting in the Democratic state primary election in Alabama on August 10. The rule sent out by the state executive committee provided that only "qualified white electors" of the state could vote in that election. The person transmitting the report to the N. A. A. C. P. comments that he hopes "this will serve to arouse us to the necessity of contributing to the fund to fight the case in the United States Supreme Court to decide on the constitutionality of such rules and laws." The case carried by the N. A. A. C. P. before the Supreme Court inclaves a similar law in Texas. If a dog's prayer were heard there would be a shower of bones from heaven.—Kansas City Star. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 21, 1926 Appeal Papers Amount to Two Volumes Containing 1,455 Pages; Hold Lengthy Love Letters of Alice. (Preston News Service) Brooklyn, N. Y., Aug. 20.—Wealthy young Leonard Kip Rhinelander, through his attorney, Leon R. Jacobs, is reported to have filed last Thursday in the Brooklyn part of the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court an appeal from the decision denying annulment of his marriage to Alice Beatrice Jones Rhinelander, it was learned Saturday. The appeal papers are said to consist of two printed volumes, comprising 1,455 pages. Sixteen copies each are necessary for the appeal court record. It is claimed that the appeal papers contain the complete record of the trial of the suit for annulment, which Rhinelander brought against his beautiful wife, the testimony and all the exhibits, which includes the famous love letters, alleged to be unprintable. One of the letters is said to contain more than 2,000 words. It was learned that the appeal will not be argued until fall. It will have place on a court calendar printed about September 19 and will be heard some time after October 4. Former Supreme Court Justice Isaac N. Mills, chief counsel for Rhinelander; will argue the appeal. It will not be necessary for the litigants to appear in court. The appeal carries out the announcement made by Judge Mills last March, when Justice Joseph Marchauer denied the motion of Rhinelander for a retrial of the suit, that the jury's verdict would be promptly appealed. The jury last December found the marriage to be valid. Judge Mills said at that time that the appeal would be taken on the ground that the verdict was against the weight of evidence and that Justice Marchauer made errors in the trial and in his charge to the jury. The cost of printing the testimony and exhibits on Rhinelander's appeal is said to have been more than $5,000. Rhinelander has remained in seclusion for several months it is reported. It was reported early in the summer that he was in Paris, but this was subsequently denied. Mrs. Rhinelander, accompanied by her mother, Mrs. George Jones, sailed in July to visit relatives in England. SEEK TO PUT MAN FROM NEW HOME Klan Burns Fiery Cross in Front of Home; Sends Note Warning of Ousting. (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) A letter signed with initials of the Ku Klux Klan ordering him to remove from his home in Hollis, L. I., because of his race, has been received by Thomas B. Harper, Negro postal clerk, who purchased a home in this community on May 1. Mr. Harper and his wife are fair colored people, but when darker friends came to visit them, the agent who sold the home, together with the President of the Local Civic League, sought to have them accept back their equity and move. On Mr. Harper refusing to be run out of a community because of prejudice, he received a letter ordering him to move within a month and to sell to the agent. A few night thereafter a flery cross was burned opposite his house. Mr. Harper appealed to the lieutenant in charge of the precinct for protection and sought a permit to have arms in his house. This was denied. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People has written to George McLaughlin, New York Commissioner of Police, urging that instructions be given the lieutenant of the precinct to see that ample protection is granted Mr. Harper in case needed.

FROM CONVENTION Three-day Session of Negro Press Association Ends Last Saturday. Grievances Published Discrimination in Army, Schools, Residences Hit; Demand Citizenship Rights. Philadelphia, Pa., Aug. 7, 1926.—We, the members of the National Negro Press Association in Annual Convention assembled, desire to call the attention of the American people to the following messages: (1) While quite a few years have elapsed since the gigantic World War in which the Negro played such a conspicuous part, in the belief that its culmination would mean the actual freedom of its submerged tenth, few of the ideals for which America stands and for which we fought, bled and died, have become realities. Negro soldiers are still denied full and free entry into the Reserve Camps established for the military training of our youth on account of their color. This unfair discrimination, we condemn because it is not only unjust and un-American but it fosters discrimination in the one voluntary branch of the War Department in which there should be none. The status of all soldiers should be the same without regard to color. We protest against the designation of our soldiers by the War Department for detached service in communities notoriously prejudiced against such soldiers and the uniform. (2) We condemn the tendency throughout the country to segregate us as to residence and schools. Which practice is contrary to the letter and spirit of the law of the land. (3) We believe in the equality of opportunity in labor. Unless the white unions of our country will welcome the American Negro on terms of absolute equality to their ranks and affirm the unity of all workers in the common goal—Industrial Democracy, we shall view with suspicion their attempts to organize Negro labor. (4) In view of the fact that the freedom of the press is one of the most sacred guarantees to the American people, we condemn the growing practice in certain communities to muzzle the Negro press. We cite specifically the case in Kentucky where two of our editors are to be brought to trial for setting forth a fair and just opinion concerning a local occurrence. (5) Segregation and discrimination sanctioned by Federal authority is one of the most menacing and prejudicial things against which we have to contend. Departmental discrimination at Washington we regard as a dangerous example. (6) We view with deep concern the increasing discrimination against Negroes on common carriers. The most aggravating case of recent occurrence is that of a Negro woman who purchased a ticket in New York to a point in Florida, who was arrested by a local officer, thrown in jail, and fined $500 for riding in a Pullman car in the state of Florida. (7) We note with interest the assertion of a healthy public opinion to condemn mob and lynch law. And we commend those agencies which are operating in an organized way to create public sentiment against violence. (8) We note with interest that the restrictive immigration laws have worked to the benefit of American labor in which largely the Negro has been benefited. It has led to a more equal distribution of the Negro citizenship and thus benefited all concerned. (9) We condemn the unequal apportionment of school funds in states where separate schools are maintained. (10) We insist upon the enforcement of all the provisions of the Constitution of the United States, including the privileges and immunities guaranteed the Negro citizens under the 13th, 14th and 15th Amendments. We insist that the enforcement of the 18th Amendment while the 15th Amendment is vio- (Continued on page 2) South More Tolerant, Claim Of Educators Now In Los Angeles Better Feeling Due to Work of Interracial Committees, Opinion of Negroes Investigating Conditions. (Preston News Service) Los Angeles, Calif., Aug. 20.—The attitude of the old South toward the education of Negroes has changed completely in the last quarter century, according to Dr. J. Beverly F. Shaw of Meridian, Miss., president of Haven Teachers' College. Dr. Shaw, who with Dr. M. S. Davage, president of Clark University, Atlanta, Ga., is spending a vacation in Los Angeles, asserted that more tolerance is being shown toward the Negro today. "The South is doing more to educate the Negro than ever before," said Shaw. "They formerly thought that an educated black man was a menace. They have come to realize, however, that an educated Negro is an asset instead of a menace." According to the two educators this change of feeling was largely brought about through the meetings held by the interracial committees, who hold periodical conferences attended by leading citizens of the white and black races. Dr. Davage has been a member of the interracial committee of Atlanta for a number of years, he announced. Haven Teachers and College, headed by Dr. Shaw, is operated by the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal church, which likewise controls the University of Southern California. He stated that Mississippi, which contains a large colored population, is making rapid advancement in requirements for teachers. BARBER SHOP TO MOVE The Sanitary Tonsorial Parlor will move to their new location, 709 Rondo St., on or about September 18. The building is new and equipped for a modern barber shop. Messrs. E. N. Martin and L. R. Blair are the proprietors of the Sanitary Tonsorial Parlor. NEGROES BARRED FROM INSURANCE Virginia Passes Law to Restrict Social Mingling of Races in Companies. (Preston News Service) Norfolk, Va., Aug. 20.—Negroes in Virginia are barred from becoming members of any fraternal insurance order in which the majority of the membership or of the officers are white. The Virginia legislature passed a bill forbidding the insuring of Negroes in any company in which white policyholders were in the majority or where white officers were in control. This bill brought forth a widespread opposition. Negro policyholders notified the insurance companies in which they were insured that they were cancelling their policies. These companies which maintain a powerful lobby in the state legislature, fearing a loss of thousands of dollars weekly, immediately brought pressure to bear on state commissioner of insurance to "interpret" this piece of race-hate inspired legislation. The commissioner "interpreted" the legislation as applying only to fraternal insurance orders where the membership would be forced to mix socially. SEEK TO BUY MANAGER OF WILLS FOR $50,000 (Preston News Service) New York, Aug. 20.—While discussing his brawl with Jack Dempsey here Thursday afternoon, Paddy Mullins, manager for Harry Wills, declared to reporters: "Here's something you may not know, Tex Rickard, through an agent offered me $50,000 if I would withdraw the challenge of Harry Wills which had been accepted by the commission." Mullins declined to name the agent, but hinted that he might take the affair into court. Anyway, the man who is in love with himself doesn't have to worry about a breach of promise suit.

Forcee and Mrs. Carrie Burns of Minnehaha Ave., who attended the National convention of Colored Women's clubs in Oakland, Cal., will return home soon. En route they will visit Seattle and the Yellowstone Park. The Athletic Association of Phyllis Wheatley House were hosts to a large party of friends and well wishers on Wednesday evening, occasioned by the homecoming of Miss W. Gertrude Brown, who has just returned from a tour of Europe. The association, headed by its president, spared no pains to make this a grand affair. There was a short_program of music and a talk by Miss Brown of her trip, and during the social hour refreshments were served.

V "Entered as second class matter Nov. 7, 1925, at the post office at St. Paul, Minn., under the act of March 3, 1879." TIME TO GROW before the Negro Press Assn. J. Davis, president of the group of mutual respect and co-operative properly developed it could pro in America, he asked that journalism completely removed persons. Indeed, should dominate the press the country for the purpose of was advocated. Exken by Mr. Davis is a sound been a selfish, grasping this reach the ultimate goal of wielding. In many cases it has not been editorial page with the same rising space. It has never had come when that condition must be respected, his organs of mind and above reproach. Negro of sheer good business policy enciated at the Negro Press A In speaking before the Negro Press Association convention the other day, B. J. Davis, president of the group, urged upon the members a spirit of mutual respect and co-operation. Pointing out that if it were properly developed it could be the strongest force for the Negro in America, he asked that the press be given a new ideal of journalism completely removed from muckraking and attacks on persons. Ethics, he claimed, should dominate the profession. A union of the papers in the country for the purpose of securing advertising more readily was advocated. The stand taken by Mr. Davis is a sound one. Too long has the Negro press been a selfish, grasping thing wriggling along through mud to reach the ultimate goal of wider circulation and greater advertising. In many cases it has not been self-respecting. It has sold its editorial page with the same calm with which it has sold advertising space. It has never had a firm hold upon its readers. The time has come when that condition must be changed. If the Negro is to be respected, his organs of publicity must be worthy of respect and above reproach. Negro journalists would do well as a matter of sheer good business policy to follow the general principles enunciated at the Negro Press Association convention. POINTING THE WAY sorious murderer of a Minneapolis custody to Minneapolis last week an exact detail the story of the headed the law as long and succute as his reason for making seven streets were related clear depicting his long list of crimes. There was no part of the account. A point out that the moving pains with meticulous care the effect upon increasing the same way, newspaper account the same effect. A man who is surrounded with slayer of Erdall would be reaccount of a less notable criminema villain. Without a doub effect upon the youthful read story. Pretense at being reformers are the burdens of a burden-weary common sense regulations would like Tom Johnson's: The younge, and if suggestions as to why should be pointed toward criminal methods. When the notorious murderer of a Minneapolis man was returned in police custody to Minneapolis last week, the papers of that city carried in exact detail the story of the man and his reasons for having evaded the law as long and successfully as he did. Points as minute as his reason for making hold-ups on particular sides of given streets were related clearly. His methods of successfully perpetrating his long list of crimes was gone over with great care. There was no part of the account which was not made perfectly lucid. Social workers point out that the moving picture dealing with crime, which outlines with meticulous care the plans of criminals, has had a noticeable effect upon increasing the crime rate of young people. In the same way, newspaper accounts of crime tend strongly to have the same effect. The plans of a man who is surrounded with all the glamor which clings to the slayer of Erdall would be read with far greater care than the account of a less notable criminal or the fictitious story of some cinema villain. Without a doubt it can and will have a harmful effect upon the youthful readers of the papers which carried the story. We make no pretense at being reformers and we have certainly not assumed the burdens of a burden-weary world. Even so, it does seem that common sense regulations would govern the telling of histories like Tom Johnson's. The younger generation is highly suggestible, and if suggestions as to ways of living are given to them, they should be pointed toward honest rather than nefarious and criminal methods. A PLEA FOR VACATIONS ear of hard work and weary rage worker the promise of a head. To him it whispers out chiefly of rest. location comes, it often bring applied and which defeats the sought, namely, the danger off the conventional forms of During the year of hard work and weary hours, there looms always to the average worker the promise of the bright vacation star somewhere ahead. To him it whispers of lessened toil and change of scene, but chiefly of rest. And when vacation comes, it often brings with it a danger which is never implied and which defeats the very end for which vacation was first sought, namely, the danger of over-work. Having cast off the conventional forms of our work, we are wont to let go with a sort of dizzying abandon and slip into a routine of social life which is far more nerve-wracking and harmful than the regularity of work itself. There are breakfasts given early (but not too early) in the morning; there are mid-morning sets of tennis; there are thousands of luncheons with cold meats, salads, and iced drinks fighting bitterly for supremacy; there is mid-afternoon driving or swimming; there is late afternoon tea, followed by cards; there is dinner, heavy and ominous in portent, in the evening; there is dancing and cards after dinner, to be followed early in the morning by a brisk drive and a bite of something at a roadside restaurant; finally, there is bed at the fattening end of the wee hours in the morning. That, varied slightly from day to day, is the program of each twenty-four hours during the too-short weeks of vacation and rest. A week of it would drive a strong man mad. A week of it but whets the appetite of the socially inclined woman. Somewhere a stop must be put. For the clock is whirling away the hours leading to the long weeks of winter business, and the clock will not wait. Why can't vacations be taken in leisurely fashion? Why must they be jerked away in the nervous spurts of a complex social program? Some one with daring and prestige should institute a "Have a real vacation during vacation" movement. Else, sucked and whirled hither and yon by the whirlpool of social obligations, we gasp and perish, victims of our social frenzy. As Special Assistant to the U. S. Attorney General, with headquarters at San Francisco, "Billy" Matthews hasn't much to do. He's only trying a riparian case involving the rights of 600 defendants, that's all. New York, N.

You have been absolutely fair and maintained a high standard of journalism in the matter. May we continue to secure the co-operation of your valuable paper. Your work has been both a credit to your paper and a tribute to the race. Accept assurances of my high personal esteem. Fish Can Live on Land The mud springing fishes of the tropical waters of Africa, Asia and Australia prefer to seek their food out of the water. They live like frogs on marshy or muddy ground among the mangrove swamps or along the shore between tide marks. Sometimes with the aid of their tall and ventral fins and clever bending of the body they clamber up stems and slide along branches. When discovered or disturbed they drop back from the branches, several feet above, into the mud below and are said to remain out of the water for hours together.—Kansas City Times. Rare Fruit The mangosteen can only be grown where the temperature never drops below 35 degrees above zero. It is the size of a mandarin orange, deep purple externally, with a thick, woody rind. Within are several segments of snow-white pulp of extremely delicate flavor. Because of its great delicacy and the difficulty of transporting it long distances, Queen Victoria, it is said, once offered a handsome reward to the first man who succeeded in placing a dish of mangosteens on her table at Buckingham palace, but the reward was never won. Kissed Wrong Man I had never seen the husband of my newly married cousin. When they arrived from a neighboring town to visit us, I was busy in the kitchen. Hearing them in the other room, I rushed in and kissed Alice, then threw my arms around the man's neck and kissed him, also, "for being my new cousin," I explained. "Oh!" shouted Alice, "he isn't my husband. This is the minister who stays with us. John is out in the car." Embarrassed? Blush? You would have, too.—A. H. in Capper's Weekly.

Species or Pine Trees Bear's Enormous Cones Most air trees bear cones of moderate size, but such is not the case with Coulter's pine, of California, says St. Nicholas. This species produces cones which are often 12 inches or more in length and 6 inches in diameter at the widest part. The cones, which are very solid and hard, will not uncommonly weigh from two to three pounds. Each of the scales terminates in a curious curved point. Strangely enough, in spite of the size of its cones Coutter's pine is not by any means the largest of the fir trees. Normally it grows from 50 to 60 feet in height, although very old examples may be 10 feet higher. The foliage of the tree is of a beautiful blush shade, and the branches are produced in a very symmetrical manner. Luckily, it is said that the cones rarely fall from the boughs, and old trees are often thickly covered with them. Learned From Americans An American sailor and his companion are credited with teaching the first native pearl divers in the South Pacific how to bob under the surface to obtain shell, and in 1883 the first experiment in diving from a boat was successful. The natives soon became expert and frequently went to unusual depths. Japanese divers, working the shell beds off islands in the Pacific ocean, wear nothing more than a loin cloth, the costume adopted by divers in 1877, says the Sydney (Australia) Bulletin. Some rich harvests of shell have been made and records show that one pearler, employing 40 native divers, averaged 25 tons of shell a year, despite the short season, which extends only from September to April. Eyesight of Birds British scientists, conducting experiments on bird eyesight, announce the following discoveries: A thrush sees a worm writhing in grass 100 yards off. A sparrow 50 yards away sees a dropped crumb or pea and immediately darts to it. The swallow, skimming along 40 miles an hour, marks down gnats 100 yards ahead. A hawk, polsed 300 feet above a tangled brake, detects a mouse through heavy growth. Eagles and vultures possess supertelescopic sight and their vision is even keener. From recent medical observations it would seem that an attack of scarlet fever tends to destroy the diphtheria antitoxin present in the circulation, causing the Schick test to become positive.

Herewith please find $2.00, for w one year and $1.00 in tr Hugh Miller, a master of picturequeque English prose, began life as a stone mason in the quarries of Cromarty, says Dr. Frank H. Vizetelly, encyclopedist. He spent fifteen years with hammer and chisel, and his chief literary work, "Scenes and Legends in Northern Scotland," was not done until he obtained the position of an accountant in a Cromarty bank. He was a zealous supporter of the nonintrusion principle that shook the Church of Scotland at the time, and as such wrote pamphlets that created much stir, so that in 1840 he was called to the editorial chair of the Edinburgh Witness. We owe to him several interesting books, of which perhaps "The Testimony of the Rocks," printed in 1857, is the most remarkable. His life had been simple, his means small, but the unceasing trials and distractions of journalism, together with the strain of his other literary work, unhinged his mind, and when fifty-six years old, in an impulse of madness, he shot himself on Christmas eve, 1856. Notables of Athens Gathered in Agora The Agora in Athens, probably the richest prize of archeology today, was the most famous market forum in the world. A tourist, in the days of Herodotus, went to the Acropolis. But an Athenian went to the market place, the Agora, where he could buy flour, and olives, Hymettian honey in lieu of sugar, and currants from Corinth. Or he tarried and listened to homely snub-nosed Socrates standing in an arcade confusing an Athenian by a few cleverly selected questions. In the Agora Solon posted his laws which earned the perpetuation of his name in the word "solon" for lawmaker. There Demosthenes delivered the famous orations against Philp of Macedonia. There Socrates stood stock still for 12 hours or more, while he thought out a new principle of philosophy. Also, it was through the Agora that the sharp-tongued cynic, Diogenes, wandered with a lantern, fruitlessly searching for an honest man. UNIVERSITY AVE.

A "glowworm" cavern was discovered in the bus country near Te Kulti, Australia. The walls are literally covered with thousands of small glowing worms which give the rocks the appearance of being studded with brilliant jewels. And strangely enough, the lights of the glowworms pale when the least bit of noise is made in the cavern, as for instance when a person speaks. In the daylight the worms look like common grubs.—Pathfinder Magazine. Won Fame After Death Perhaps Henry D. Thoreau of Concord, Mass, who died in 1862, is the only American author of renown whose works were not published until after his death. He published but two books while alive, both at his own expense. One of them had a moderate circulation, the other almost none. All his life he kept a journal, and all of this has subsequently been published, so that his works now total about 80 volumes, all of which are in print and in demand. Out of Stock The patient saleswoman brought out the seventeenth hat. The customer seemed impressed, but her doting husband spoke up with decision: "That hat does not become you, my angel." The saleswoman produced another. "And that certainly is not worthy of you, my angel." "I fear we cannot suit your angel," said the saleswoman, finally. "We have nothing in the way of a halo."

Archeologists regard the find as of great importance, inasmuch as no previous discoveries had been made giving any indication of the religious life of the people during the period of Roman occupation, though other Roman ruins were known there as well as in other cities of South Germany. Examination of the earth strata overlying the locations date the buildings as belonging to about the First Christian century. Though the workmen who built the temples and made the statues were Romans, or at least followed the Roman patterns, the gods were not Roman deities. They seem to belong to the ancient Celtic tribes who were the earliest historic occupants of the lower Rhine valley. There were several divinities entirely new to modern mythological science, including a goddess named Ritona and another named Aveta. There is also an image of a horned bull, conjectured to be the old Celtic god Rhein, who gave the famous German river its name. Let's quit fooling ourselves.

It has become a common expression among the scientists to speak of the eels as the wolves of the stream, counting them even worse than the pike, that dashing, big eater of the waters, tigerish in ferocity and apparently never full of food. These learned writers declare they have known a large number of eels to attack a victim in mass formation, when one of their number would be unable to be master of the situation.

Organized to defeat profiteers in flour milling, the co-op rendered effective assistance, although it finally disappeared owing to the lack of experience of members and officers in business matters. The original society extended to include the sale of shoes and milk. The rise of sound co-operation dates from 1844 in Rochdale, near Manchester, England." Early Bookkeeping Of the early forms of bookkeeping practically nothing is known. From the works of Leonardo of Pisa it appears certain that the merchants of Italy, France and Spain practiced systematic bookkeeping for some time prior to the Thirteenth century. It is, however, to the Italian traders of the Fourteenth and Fifteenth centuries, the enterprising merchants of Genoa, Florence and Venice, that we owe the system of bookkeeping which takes the lead at the present time. In the year 1494 Lupca Pacoli, or Luca di Burgo, Tuscan friar, published a work which contained a treatise upon double-entry bookkeeping. This is the first systematic treatment of the subject of which we have any record, and it is worthy of remark that the more complete system of double-entry was perfected and brought into general use considerably before the system of the single entry. see at Kramer D Phone DAle 8016 Storage, Repairing an Residence Phone Elkhurst 1615 MCGAVOCK FU AARON J.

How to Meet a Lion How to Meet a Lion Lions have a greater fear of man than many realize. According to Mr. J. Morewood Dowett, the well-known big-game hunter, the "king of the forest," if you stand your ground will often stop and look menacingly at you, growing all the while; some lions will even turn tail and bolt after halting. You want to be very cool in the presence of a lion and never show you have any fear. As to leopards, it will come as news to most people that "it is possible to strangle a leopard if you get a firm grip of the throat from behind so that he cannot claw you." Mr. Dowett says the musk ox of Canada, upon scenting danger, form a line facing their foe as quickly as would a regiment of soldiers, and here they stand ready for an attack. Sanctity of the Mind By all manner of boards and traps, threatening the extreme penalty of the divine law, excluding passerspers from these grounds, it behooves us to preserve the purity and sanctity of the mind. It is hard to forget what it is worse than useless to remember. If I am to be a channel or thoroughfare, I prefer that it be of the mountain springs, and not the town sewers—the Parnassian streams. There is inspiration, the divine gossip which comes to the ear of the attentive mind from the courts of heaven; there is the profane and stale revelation of the barroom and the police court. Thoreau.

It was founded about 1038 A.D. by John Gualbert. These magnificent conventional buildings, erected in 1673, are situated in a secluded valley of the Apennines, and are surrounded by forests of fir, beech and chestnut trees. The abbey was suppressed in 1889 and converted into a school of forestry. Vallombrosa was visited by Dante, and is mentioned by Arlosto in "Orlando Furioso," and by Milton in "Paradise Lost." It is much resorted to by artists and tourists, but owes its chief celebrity to the allusions made to it in literature.
