Anderson, One Time Leader of St. James A. M. E. Church, Gets Favorable Mention Has Excellent Record Is Being Endorsed by Conferences of the Third Episcopal District (Preston News Service) Pittsburgh, Pa., Dec. 10.—Rev. J. C. Anderson, D. D., for many years pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church here, has been endorsed by the conference of the Third Episcopal Diocese for the bishopric. When Rev. Anderson came to take the pastorate of Bethel church five years ago the church property had run down and more than $50,000 encumbered by mortgage indebtedness, and foreclosure was pending. In a short time he managed to satisfy the mortgage holders. Debt reduced. During the administration of Dr. Anderson the interest on the mortgages has been paid and the debt reduced from $50,000 to $10,000 which the congregation plans to pay off in 1927. Considerable improvements have been made on the church property entailing an expenditure of upwards of $15,000. The membership which had dwindled down to less than 200 has grown to nearly a thousand and many of the old life-long members of the church who had left are returning and Bethel appears to be gaining her former reputation as the leading church of Pittsburgh. Supporters Listed. Among the many supporters of Dr. Anderson for the Bishopric are: Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of Wilberforce, Ohio; Bishop J. S. Flipper, of Aatlanta, Ga.; Bishop R. C. Ransom, of the Kentucky and Tennessee districts; Bishop Brooks, of Africa, and many prominent laymen of the church connection. Dr. Anderson has twice been a St Paul pastor. His last administration here was at St. James A. M. E. church, then at Jay st. and Fuller ave. He has a large local following. GREENLAW GIVES CONCERT TRIUMPH Pilgrim Recital Monday Called Best of Season; Local Artist Assists Albert E. Greenlaw, baritone soloist in recital at Pilgrim Baptist church last Monday evening scored an immediate and overwhelming success. His recital was, in the opinion of many local critics, the best of the season to date. Formerly with the Fisk jubilee singers, Mr. Greenlaw has had a wide yackground for concert work. His splendid voice has deep volume, and rich tone. His enunciation was perfect, and his control of the higher register cause much favorable comment. The Spirituals rendered by the artist were especially well received. He sang "Ninety and Nine" by request, and was generous with encores. Mrs. Harriet G. Hall, local artist, accompanied Mr. Greenlaw, and her expressive interpretation of the numbers he sang added much to the enjoyment of the program. SHELTON BROOKS VISITS GOPHER-ELK'S CABARET On Tuesday evening Shelton Brooks was the guest of the Elks Gopher Lodge 105, at their cabaret which is held weekly at the Elks club 207 W.

Lewis last Saturday denied the motion for temporary alimony and attorney's fee in the second suit for divorce brought by Carrie Robinson, 567 Gaultier St., against Sam Robinson. Robinson has not visited the home since August 19, and the court directed that he remain away during the pendency of the trial of the second action. COMMUNITY GYM GETS UNDER WAY Leaders Plan to Convert Old St. James into Recreation Center for Negroes Plans are under way to convert old St. James church, Jay st. at Fuller ave., into a semi-gymnasium for the use of boys' and girls' clubs, boy scouts, and similar organizations. The colored scout troop has been using the building all summer as a meeting place, and the need for some such building has given the idea of renovating the church to some colored men in the city. O. C. Hall, who is an officer of scout troop number 55, is one of the leaders in the movement. In speaking of the project, Mr. Hall said, "The need for some place furnishing recreational facilities is so obvious that it needs no comment. We have already obtained a small amount of coal for the heating of the place, and screens for the windows and lights are forthcoming." J. W. Kelly, scoutmaster, heartily endorsed the idea. "This project is not a movement for the scouts especially, nor is it a church movement," he said. "We plan to make the gymnasium open to any group in the city which may desire the use of such a place, and the scouts will have no more liberty there than anyone else. The plan is to have it a community project." Within the next week, a board drawn from all the churches and from prominent people in the community will be selected to administer the plan. It is expected that a campaign for funds will follow. FEET CRUSHED At the corner of 5th and Cedar Sts in front of the Northwestern Telephone Co. building, Thursday about 4:30 p. m., Mrs. Alton H. Hanger was run over by a 5-ton truck of Allen-Quinlan Co., owned by Murphy Transfer Co. According to witnesses Mrs. Hanger slipped from the curbing and fell underneath the truck and the rear wheel passed over her ankles, breaking the bones in both her feet. She was carried to the drug store on the corner and from there to Ancker hospital in the police ambulance. Mr. C. J. Munson was the driver of the truck. Mrs. Hanger resides at 304 E. 7th St. The ancient Egyptians, according to the Dearborn Independent, had divorce laws and alimony, and well-to-bride protected their fortunes by marriage contracts. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11, 1926 (From the St. Louis Argus) Louisville, Ky.—William Warley, editor the Louisville News, and L. Willis Cole, editor of the Louisville Leader, were judged guilty and fined $250 each and costs on the charge of libeling Judge Ruby Laffoon by City Judge H. F. S. Bailley, acting Special Circuit Judge at Madisonville, Ky., yesterday. The Louisville News was also fined $250 on a similar charge as that brought against the editor. A motion to squash the libeling charge against the Leader was sustained by Judge Bailey, it being ruled that the Leader is not a corporation and is owned and managed solely by Cole. Both Warley and Cole were granted a right to appeal. Judge Bailey presided with an agreed order entered at the September Circuit Court term at which time the two editors appeared in court in Madisonville, represented by Allen P. Dodd, a prominent Louisville barrister, who asked for a Special Judge and asked that the case be tried through briefs. Editors Warley and Cole were indicted by the Hopkinsville Grand Jury because of articles appearing in their papers preceding the trials of Bunyon Fleming, Nathan Bard and Columbus Hollis, who were charged with assault on a white woman and are the outcome of what Kentucky fair-minded and right-thinking white and colored people feel was a miscarriage of justice in Lexington, Ky., when a colored man was hanged for an alleged assault upon a white woman and within the next few weeks a white man was declared insane for an assault upon a young colored girl.

Jordan, professor at Wiley University, Marshall, Tex., and graduate student at Harvard University, was begun Thursday. Professor Jordan was found unconscious Wednesday in his room in a lodging house with a dislocated shoulder and severe bruises about his head. His landlady told the police she heard Jordan come in the night before, but heard no disturbances. His bed had not been slept in. Jordan had gained slightly Friday, but was still semi-unconscious. Mrs. Jordan, his wife, is said to be an instructor in a college in North Carolina. McLEOD TO TAKE NO MEASURES ON AIKEN LYNCHING Has Not Called Special Session of the Grand Jury to Deal with Investigation Case Goes To January Incoming Governor Promises to Press Case Against Lynchers to the Limit (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Dec. 9—According to latest despatches published in the New York World from its special correspondent in the Alken, S. C., lynching area, Governor Thomas McLeod intends taking no effective action during his term and will "pass the buck" to the new incoming Governor John G. Richards. Gov. McLeod has declined to call a special session of the Grand Jury and the case will therefore not come before that body until January, after he leaves office. The incoming Governor, Richards, is quoted by the World as expressing a determination to push the case against the lynchers energetically. He is quoted as saying: I have not hesitated to condemn the Aiken crime without qualification and I think the honor of the State demands that the lynchers be punished if it is humanly possible to punish them. I can and do assure the people of South Carolina that I shall do everything in my power as Governor to bring this just culmination to pass. I heartily commend the activities of the newspapers and other agencies that have sought to have this situation cleared up. Papers Criticise. Meanwhile, the Columbia State continues to harshly criticise the "best citizens" of Alken County for their inactivity and silence in face of the mob outrage. Says the State editorially: More than a week ago Edgar A. Brown, a lawyer in Alken's neighboring County, and a first cousin of Sheriff Howard, to avenge whose death the Lowmans were supposed to have been lynched, published a letter in a newspaper circulating in Alken in which he took the role of practically defending the lynching; declared that many knew who had participated in the lynching and that "Nobody is going to be punished and nobody wants anybody punished." That declaration referred to none more directly than to the "peaceful (Continued on page 2) GOPHER LODGE SETS NEW PACE GOPHER LODGE SETS NEW PACE Santa Claus to Visit Elks' Club to Present Children with Christmas Tokens The entertainment committee of the Gopher Lodge are continually adding new and attractive features for their members and friends who are cordially invited to attend the Elks Club, 207-W. Central Ave., on Tuesday and Friday nights. The house committee has adopted a service which is in keeping with many of the aristocratic clubs. An attendant in the reception hall ushers the patrons to the checkroom where they are assisted and relieved of wraps. Upon being ushered to the dining room, card room, lounging or radio reception, such as the case may be, an attendant or waitress is at your service. There is music while dining, entertaining and dancing if you choose. The committee announces that they will hold an open house during the holidays and have made arrangements with Santa Claus to give tokens to the children who will be invited guests at the Elks Club. The popularity of Friday night is growing as whist proves to be a fascinating pastime to the members and their friends. The fixed date of Friday in each week for the card party allqws the members and their friends the opportunity to make regular engagements at the Elks Club. Governor, Mayor, Many Groups Endorse Sale Of Xmas Seals As Means Of Aiding Disease Fight First Concrete State Highway, 14 Years Old, Being Replaced By Modern Construction Method St. Paul—the Christmas City—is going to buy health liberally with the rest of its holiday purchases this year. Reports at the headquarters of the Christmas Seal campaign, Ramsey County Public Health Association, indicate that there will be a far more general use of the penny health stamps this season than during any previous crusade. Business and professional men, as well as members of all civic, social and fraternal groups, show an emphatic co-operative and sympathetic attitude toward the movement to combat tuberculosis, give aid to its sufferers and disseminate community health education. Governor Christianson's message to public-spirited citizens reads, in part: "There is no more important social effort than that to promote the public health. Twenty years of well-directed educational effort has cut the tuberculosis death rate in two. The battle should not halt until the White Plague has been entirely eradicated. Let every good citizen enlist in the fight. It is a battle of peace which should stir the people to as high a (Continued on page 4) FIRST OF LEGION PEP TESTS HELD Series of Meetings Planned to Develop Interest in Post Activities Launched as an effort to create interest and enthusiasm among legionnaires and those who are eligible to become members, the Johnny Baker post of the American Legion in Minneapolis gave a smoker and pep fest at Elks' hall, Minneapolis, last Saturday. This meeting was the first of a series which will be held in the future. Martin Brown of Johnny Baker post, and Atty. George Hamilton and Joseph Sherwood of Leslie Lawrence post, St. Paul, were the principal speakers of the evening. The speakers showed in a very effective manner why it is necessary for all eligibles to join the local posts in the city in which they live. Entertainment was provided by four boxing matches, two entertainers, and music by Clarence Johnson. The committee on arrangements concluded a well planned evening by serving a light luncheon at midnight. Steam shovels and trucks are at work this month building a wider, straighter road to replace the first concrete highway built in Minnesota. In doing so, it has been necessary to dig up some of the old concrete, but this calls attention to the great advance in paving methods in recent years, says a bulletin from the state highway department. Fourteen years ago, when Winona county built this pavement, which is now part of Trunk Highway No. 3, the common practice was to use unwashed sand from the nearest pit, dump the sand and rock on the road, shovel it by hand and move it in wheelbarrows to the mixer. No matter how careful the workmen were, some dirt was sure to get into the aggregate. Proportions were only approximate. There were no laboratories to test materials or the finished concrete. Reinforcement was never used. Expansion joints, when used, were only transverse. Today only washed sand of uniform grade is used. Crushed rock or gravel is tested in the field to make sure that corrects are used, and laboratory tested if there is any question about strength. All cement is laboratory tested. Sand and rock are lifted direct from cars or trucks into the steel bin or "batcher," and exact amounts of sand, rock and cement hauled in trucks to the mixer. The amount of water needed and the correct time for mixing have been determined by long research and are carefully checked.

OBSCENE MAIL SENDER INSANE 'Chief Johnson' of New York Adjudged not Sane by the Court; Re-confined (Preston News Service) New York City, Dec. 9.—Because the Federal Government has no institution in which to confine a criminal adjudged insane, Judge Knox, in Federal Court Thursday permitted Dilion Dillon, aged 30 years, to withdraw his plea of guilty of sending obscene letters through the mails, and then freed him from custody. He was re-arrested in the court room by detectives and taken to the Tombs court. There Magistrate Simpson committed Dillon to the Bellevue hospital for ten days' observation, after Dillon had been arraigned charged with insanity. According to testimony before Judge Knox, Dillon had once been declared insane by Dr. Thomas S. Gregory. Dillon who signed himself "Chief Johnson" was arrested by detectives acting in concert with postoffice inspector last September as he was mailing thirteen letters at 127th street and Lenox avenue. In the last five years he is said to have written obscene letters to nearly 5,000 women prominent in all lines of work. The letter which caused his undoing was written to Magistrate Jean Norris. In Dillon's room was found a list of more than 5,000 names and addresses of prominent women of New York City. State Highway, Being Replaced Instruction Method Negro Soldiers in High Rank as U. S. Marksmen (N. A. A. C. P. Press Service) New York, Dec. 3.—The New York Times recently carried a special dispatch showing the high rank accorded by War Department records to Negro soldiers as marksmen in the United States army. The highest score was made by the white 30th Infantry with 98.6 per cent, but only 73.6 per cent of its riflemen took part. Next came the 45th Infantry, a Philippine scout regiment, with 98.3 per cent, the 42nd Infantry, a Porto Rico regiment stationed in Panama, with 98.1 per cent; and the 25th Infantry, a Negro regiment at Nogales, Arizona, with 98 per cent. "The record of the Philippinos and Negro soldiers was remarkable," says the Times dispatch, "because 91.3 per cent and 92.3 per cent of their respective personnel finished the course." crete made from the same mixture which goes into the road are tested in the field with a machine invented by engineers in the testing division of the state department. Cores cut from the finished pavement are later tested in the laboratory. WHAT HO! Christmas is upon us and gift choices are scarce. Give a 52-week present with a subscription to The Echo. PRICE FIVE CENTS JURY HANGS FIRE IN CASE AGAINST LYCEUM THEATER Testimony Shows Light Colored Woman Admitted, Others Barred From Main Floor. Hot Cross Examination Jury Gets Instructions at 4:10 P. M. Thursday; No Report Ready Friday A. M. At 9:30 a. m. Friday morning, the jury had not yet returned a verdict in the case against the Lyceum theater, Ninth st. at Wabasha, prosecuted by the state, and charging discrimination against colored patrons by the theater. The jury went out at 4:10 p. m. Thursday and had not come in with a verdict up to press time Friday morning. The first hearing of the case occurred Wednesday morning, Dec. 8 at 10 a. m. in Judge O. B. Lewis' court. Mrs. Margaret Martin who had filed complaint in the county attorney's office was the first to take the stand. Out of Tickets. Mrs. M. R. Murray was the next witness to take the stand. She stated that on Nov. 17, she, her daughter, and two other young ladies went to the theater. Her daughter, Elizabeth, she said, tried to purchase three seats on the main floor, but was not allowed to do so, the ticket seller stating that she had no tickets left. Immediately afterward, Mrs. Murray who is very light bought four tickets on the main floor, gave each of the girls a ticket, and walked in to the left where balcony tickets are required. The usher informed her that main floor seats were to the right, and she went to the main floor and was seated. Cross-examined. At this point, the attorney for the defense asked Mrs. Murray if she had stopped to see what had happened to the rest of the party, which had been stopped by the ticket receiver. Mrs. Murray answered, "No." The attorney for the defense asked her if, when she started out to the theater, was it not her intention to test the rumor that colored people were being discriminated against at the theater. The answer was nega- (Continued on page 3) ADA BROWN AND MATES OF TROUPE VISIT CABARET "Plantation Days" Has All-Star Cast Playing at Palace Orpheum Theater.

There is a record of prog- ress. There is achievement. There is a goal at which other Negro journalistic as well as business enterprises can well aim. In recounting the history of the paper, and the exceptional work of the men who had first struggled with the enterprise, due credit and honor was chipped off to the Twin Cities, with the hon- orable mention of Thomas R. Morgan, one of the early writers for the paper. Mr. Morgan, ow a resident of St. Paul, has continued his journalistic career ever since, and was for many years here the publisher of The Helper. He is now printing the church organ for St-James A. M. E. church. In form the Tribune resembles a large metropolitan daily. Its make-up is excellent, and its features are interesting. Con- servative and prudent in both appearance and tone, it deserves the success which it has achieved. From its lowly chronological background of one year and a few weeks, The St. Paul Echo extends to The Philadelphia Tribune heartiest good wishes for a continuance of its successful career. The outburst from one of our contributors is timely. We would hesitate to limit gossiping to females, however, because our experience indicates that the male of the species is just as bad if not a worse offender. Gossip at all is a harmful thing, even that gossip which is started with no intention to hurt any one. People, unfortunately, have the inescapable habit of interpreting all things as they want to see them, and in the hands of such people, the most harmless story can assume formidable aspects of evil. Gossip with intent to hurt is a dammable thing, This is the sort of gossip usually directed at any and every one, but which takes its greatest toll from people in the public eye. The Twin Cities during the past few months has had a veritable epidemic of this underhanded maligning of character. Some of the most prominent figures in Twin Cities society have been the butt of muddy verbal missiles. Men whose honor is unquestionably established to any one who has the slightest interest in investigation have beeen assailed by the malicious, backhanded and undercover methods of the gossipers. Legitimate and necessary continuance of normal activities on the part of these people has been construed to mean the darkest of vile machina- tions. It is laughable, really, this picking at the workers and the aceomplishers by the petty indolents. A little self-examination might help to curb this unfounded talk, and scrutiny of the “facts” before repeating them would undoubtedly do so. We are none of us blameless, and to modernize an old expression, “Those who live in glass houses should disrobe in the dark.” Yea, verily. (An editorial reprinted from the Daily Iowan, University of Iowa) ‘The snobs of this world are one of life's most pathetic spec- tacles. They present examples of repression, fear and narrow egoism, any one of which can make a tragedy out of an otherwise successful life. i They have failed to learn the most important of all lessons— that every living person is interesting. Life in its pure form means nothing at all to them; only class distinction is significant. They like to think of themselves as the true aristocrats, far too sensitive and fastidious to tolerate any mode of living other than that preseribed by their chosen leaders. In his Portrait of a Lady, Henry James says that “the essence of the aristocratic situation” is “to be in a better position for appreciating people than they are for appreciating you.” And in-their complete failure to grasp this truth, the pathetic snobs lose all chance for realizing their only ambition. To deliberately ignore any part of life, is the most. foolish crime a man can commit. To throw away a possible experience is to be wasteful with the only truly valuable commodity in the world. “Remember,” says Edna Ferber in So Big, “no matter what happens, good or bad, it’s just so much velvet.”. Remember, every new acquaintance, rich or poor, educated ir college or educated in a factory—every new acquaintance whom you can appreciate is just so much velvet in the game of life; and the man who throws away a possible acquaintance is throwing away the wealth of life. A great success is made up of a lot of little ones. The man who fills a position of honor and trust has filled many smaller posi- tions of trust. The man who has charge of ten thousand men has had charge of many small squads; and before he had charge of a ‘small squad he first had charge of himself. Let every dawn of morning be to you as the beginning of life and every setting sun be to you as its close; then let every one of these short lives leave its sure record of some kindly thing done for others, some goodly strength or knowledge gained for your- self—John Ruskin.

HERBERT HOWELL. ‘Evidences of Mound ' Builders Far South Smithsonlan ethnologists are always on the trail of the ancient civilizations of America. Now they have enlarged the territory known to have been held by the Mound Butlders, by discover- ing on Pecan island, in the southwest corner of Vermilion parish, in Louis!- ana, 22 of the curious earthworks with which the Ohio and Mississippt valleys are dotted. This extends the field of the Mound Builders far south, says the Philadelphia Bulletin. Preliminary excavations have turned up characteristic copper orna- ments, presumably made from copper taken from the outcroppings worked by the Mound Builders in the Lake Superior district, and ornaments carved from light-colored stone of a geological nature not to be found in Louisiana. Among the early historle occupants ef the territory were the Atakapas, dwelling in Texas and western Loul- stana, who are known to have been cannibals, while east of them were the lands of the Clitimachas. The expedition sent into the territory by the Smithsonian institution ex- ected to find nothing more than sup- plementary evidences of the low state of culture of these tribes and thelr primitive fashion of living. But in- stead it found that a superior culture antedated the occupation of the In- dians. There are stone and wooden earplugs and breast ornaments, others of galena and hematite, bone awls and fragments of pottery, un- mistakably of Mound Builders origin, Medieval-Day Boxes Became Dower Chests Large wardrobe chests of medieval days, sometimes called portman teaux, were the forerunners of the dower chests of later periods. ‘There were no trunks, such as are in use to- day, and the big boxes were an tm- portant part of the Impedimenta car- ried by the nobles of the Middle ages on thelr visits to neighboring castles, says Edward Wenham, writing in the International Studio, Usually they were made of oak, but sometimes chestnut was employed. Some of them were covered with teather, upon which the coat of arms and other heraldic signs were emblazoned. In time they become dower chests, usual- ly containing the store of household Unen that the bride took to her hus- band. Passing from mother to daugh- ter, they became heirlooms of great sentimental value. The chest ap- pealed to all countries of Europe and was brought to America by the first settlers, and bridal chests were among the first pleces of early Colontal furnt- ture constructed.

Mrs. Murray finished her testimony by stating that she had left the theater after viewing some parts of the moving picture, and had gone back to work. At this point, court was adjourned for the morning. Similar testimony. At 2 p. m. when court resumed, Miss Elizabeth Murray took the stand. Her story agreed in all essential details with that of Mrs. Murray, but she described also the manner in which the three young ladies had been prevented from taking the seats which had been bought. After being refused tickets on the grounds that no tickets on the main floor were being sold for the continued performance as there was none, Miss Murray, together with the other two young ladies, was given a main floor ticket just purchased by Mrs. Murray. They approached the box and Miss Murray dropped her ticket, but the usher put his hand across the receiving box before Mrs. Martin, and Mrs. Minnie Ward, the other members of the party, could drop tickets. This usher, Smith, pointed to the balcony, and said, "This way for you folks." "But we have main floor tickets," protested the group. "Can't help it," rejoined the man; "I'm not here to argue with you people. You may get your money back if you don't wish to sit in the balcony." This the young ladies did not do, but kept the tickets for evidence. Story corroborated. The stories of Mrs. Margaret Martin and Mrs. Minnie Ward, the other witnesses of the state, were practically the same. Manley Rhodes and Eugene Jackson, Jr. were also called by the state, and testified that discrimination had been practised against them at the Lyceum theater. Court was adjourned at 5 p. m. Thursday morning, court was in order at 10 a. m. Smith, the ticket taker, against whom charges were preferred by Mrs. Maftin, took the stand and stated that he was not guilty of the charges of race discrimination. Miss Black, ticket seller at the Lyceum, also testified that she had not practised discrimination against the complainant. Cross-examination lasted throughout the morning and afternoon. After a very strong plea by County attorney McGill for the state, and an equally effective plea by the attorney for the defense, the case was turned over to the jury at 4:10 p. m.

PAUL ECHO Impressive Warnings Boys dressed like rats and mosquitoes learned to imitate the movements of the pests as a means of warning persons attending the exhibits shown during baby week in Bombay, India, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. The costumes all but concealed the actors, who illustrated by pantomime how the mosquito inflicts its poisonous bite and how the rat carries disease and destroys food as well as other things. Lotus Really Water Lily Lotus Relict. The sacred lotus has been cultivated in Egypt for at least 5,000 years and for many centuries was used in religious ceremonies and funeral wreaths. There has been confusion among botanists and laymen for centuries as to the identity of the true lotus of the Nile. Many have supposed that the sacred lotus of India and the sacred lotus of the Nile were the same, but they are not. The Indian lotus has a pink flower, while that of the Nile has a blue one. It was only with the identification of the flowers used in the funeral wreaths of Rameses II and Amenhotep I that it was established that the true sacred lotus of Egypt was the blue water ill.—Chicago Daily News. Safety in Tall Buildings A geological authority who has given some special attention to earthquakes has given some consolation to the people who are employed in the very tall building, and who have been fearful of the rift in case of an earthquake. He figures it out that those in a 200-foot structure are safer than one 100 feet in height. The former is just the height to correspond with the period of rocking of the earth and therefore the structure receives the full force of the motion, whereas in the taller buildings this does not coincide with the swing of the earthquake, and hence it is practically immune from danger. Feathered Criminals One of the greatest enemies of the angler is the cormorant. This ugly bird is a skilled fish catcher and has, moreover, a gourmand's appetite. A pair of these criminals will seriously deplete a trout stock in a very short time, if allowed to go unmolested. Viciousness is associated with the eagles and vultures, but not so often with the swan, although every one knows that it is a bad-tempered bird as a rule. There was recently a case, however, of a swan that attacked a man in a motor car. It broke the windshield, and then broke the driver's nose with a blow from its wing of such force that it rendered the man unconscious.

SQUI Junera 502 E. 24th Street Been Unjust to Jenu The fact that Murray's dictionary states that the furious driving of Jenu has provided the English language with a noun, an adjective and a verb, has moved an erudite person to make the devastating discovery that Jenu did not drive rapidly, much less furiously. The Hebrew, it is said, ought to have been translated "driveth to meditation," and it appears, therefore, that Jenu was noted for his deliberate driving, the exact opposite of the general belief. As this view seems to be supported by what is known of Jenu's general character, it will be interesting (says an English paper) to know whether future editions of the dictionary will contain a note explaining that the meanings attached to the use of his name in the English language are entirely unfair to him. What Is Pathology? Logos is really the Greek for a word or discourse, and so came to stand for science, and all our "ologies" are sciences of something or other. In the same language, "pathos" stood for suffering, and so, in time, for disease; thus pathology really means the study or science of disease. In one way, therefore, we can say that since every doctor is interested in disease, he must be a pathologist—and indeed as a student he had to take his course in the subject—but actually the term has become narrowed down to certain aspects of disease. It has, for instance, in practice nothing to do with the cure of disease or with its treatment, but confines itself purely to the scientific effects. The pathologist is, in fact, the research worker of disease. Most people worry less over the quality of their past than over the quantity of it. Elkhurst 3473 Elk Tailoring Co. Suits Made to Order M.

As further endorsement there is this from Mayor Hodgson: "These Christmas Seals are a tangible token of the most precious offering within the power of human beings to give—health. I most sincerely urge their widespread use and ask every citizen to be liberal in the purchase of them. The many humanitarian deeds accomplished during the year are most commendable." Besides the mail and personal solicitation sales there are booths in the shopping districts and self-sellers in schools, colleges and drug stores.

Rossetti's Publicity Idea A London paper recalls a story of Rossetti. The poet-painter one day told Browning that he intended, when funds ran to it, to buy an elephant.
