The 20th annual Grand Easter Ball will be given Monday evening, April 18, 1927, at the Arcadia Dancing Palace, Fifth St., opposite the Court House in Minneapolis, under the auspices of Pride of Minnesota Lodge No. 5, Knights of Pythias. All of the Twin City K. of P.'s have combined to make this affair a delightful pleasure to all, according to Mr. E. L. Boyd, general chairman. For many years this organization has been foremost in fraternal work and has always provided clean and respectful entertainment for the public. The K. P.'s have picked the Arcadia dancing palace to hold their annual ball because it is known to be one of the largest and prettiest halls in Minneapolis. Another point which they have given a great deal of consideration is to hold the ball at that hall which is centrally located and convenient to all car and bus lines. Professor Clarence Johnson and his complete Night Hawks orchestra has been engaged for this event. With dancing to 1:30 A. M., the admission will be 75 cents.

A. Carter, Executive Secretary. Mr. Carter outlined the work of the league and presented graphically the story of the three years' efforts to make a place for the colored people in the industrial and commercial life of the city. Said Mr. Carter in part: "The Urban League has not the challenge of those who would con- I. GARLAND PENN SPEAKS TO LARGE WHITE AUDIENCES Representation of Methodist Episcopal Church Heard in Northwest. Operate Million Farms Holds That the Negro Is Now An Asset Instead of a Liability. (By The Associated Negro Press) St. Paul, Minn., April 15.—In addresses delivered at Minot and Fargo, North Dakota, also St. Paul, Minnesota, to large audiences of white Methodists, Secretary I. Garland Penn, Cincinnati, Ohio, representing the Board of Education of the Methodist Episcopal Church, said that many questions involving the status of Negroes in the United States and their possibilities, had been settled. Questions Discussed. Questions Discussed. The present day questions were recognition of racial rights and privileges on the basis of progress made; the protection of life and property thus visualizing in acceptance and practice, the Amendments to the Constitution and recent United States Supreme Court decisions thereon; equal educational opportunities; the right to earn a living anywhere in any honest and legitimate way; justice in the courts; proper housing and sanitation; and a cessation of exploiting Negroes in excessive rentals, North and South, because many of them were weak and could not help themselves. He told how education had helped not only the Negro, but was a contribution to the progress of all, as the Negro was now an asset instead of a liability. Manufacturers' Record. He quoted the manufacturers' record of Baltimore, Md., as in support of his position, as follows: "Negroes have been no negligible or inconsequential labor element in this country. Negro labor supplies one-seventh of all workers in the United States. Negroes operate a million farms, one-fourth of which they own themselves. One-third of all iron and steel workers and one-tenth of all railway workers are Negroes. The accumulated wealth of Negroes increased from $20,000,000 in 1886 to $1,500,000,000 in 1920. In 1922, 523 Negroes received the B. A. Degree and 20 the degree of M. A. from American Colleges and universities." D. Y. W. Y. K. ELECTS The D. Y. W. Y. K. Club met at the residence of Mr. Charles Miller, holding the election of officers as follows: Charles Miller, president; Florence Johnson, vice-pres.; Ida Hanna, secty.; Geraldine Pickett, corresponding secty.; Cornelia Smith, treas.; Hazel Craig, critic.

We have waged a relentless fight to keep the ground which was gained in the past and to advance. Success has been achieved. In a measure we have kept pace with the growing industrialism of St. Paul. We have opened the Ford Plant, The American Radiator Plant, The Lowry Hotel to colored men, and we have built up a group of white friends willing to aid us in the fight for industrial recognition." Mr. Carter mentioned the Visiting House-keepers' work being done by the Women's Auxiliary of the Urban League and the fine record it had made under the presidency of Mrs. R. F. Wilson, and the program which was being carried out by Mrs. Constance Anderson, the present head of the Auxiliary. The work in Health, and especially disease prevention, and Community betterment, was stressed by the Ur- Hundreds of Spectators View Madam Walker's Style Review Pretty Race Models Display Latest Styles Dressed in Smart Clothes Furnished by Askin and Marine. The busiest lady in the city of Minneapolis on Thursday evening, April 11, was Madame Walker, directing her Style Review at the South Side Auditorium, given by the Askin-Marine Company, clothiers. From the minute Miss Elleen Moore, one of the pretty models, led the fashion promenade, the hundreds of eager spectators stood gazing in awe. A group of pretty girls, including Cecil Johnson, Edna Miller, Lou Belle Sisson, Minnie Poston, Lorena Gordon, Henrietta Goins, Stella Palmer, and Irene Williams displayed just how, when and where the pretty styles of clothing should be worn. Catherine and James Carter displayed the kiddies' clothes. Bathing Beauties. Jennie Cason, Lorena Gordon, Marie Miller, Eileen Moore and Stella Palmer, as bathing beauties, were clean out of this world, just like on the Atlantic City Board Walk. Mrs. Henrietta Goins proved that stout girls are still in vogue. It was "Hello Blue Bird" with Stella Palmer when she appeared all in blue. Lou Belle Sisson showed just how keen women can look in snug fitting light coats, with small fur collars. Howard Walker and Willie Hawkins were models for the men's wear. The Hollywood spot light of "That Man Smith," the artistic photographer, was played on the models, distinctly bringing out the lines of each costume. Show Success. The entire show was staged and enacted with the preciseness of clock work. Mr. Reed, manager of the Minneapolis branch of Askin and Marine, was present with the entire store force. Style shows with the Askin and Marine Company are a seasonable custom and for this reason it has become regular routine work. The clothing problems of millions of families have been solved by the modern approved method of the Askin and Marine Co., during their thirty-two years of business in their forty-five stores. Father's Death Followed With Brother's Death Mrs. Hamlet B. Rowe, wife of Hamlet B. Rowe, well known business man of Minneapolis, has returned home from Memphis, Tenn., where she attended the funeral of her father. Immediately upon her return, Mrs. Rowe received word that her brother-in-law, Dr. Wm. A. Driver, prominent physician, 3636 South Parkway, Chicago, was seriously injured when his machine was hit by a sedan at 37th and Prairie Ave. and completely demolished on Wednesday, April 6. Dr. Driver was thrown against the curb and his skull fractured. He died later at Provident hospital. Mrs. Rowe has the sympathy of the community in her bereavement.

Mr. W. T. Francis, Vice-chairman of the Urban League, was chairman of the meeting. Mrs. Harriet G. Hall was in charge of the music and rendered two groups of songs, beautifully.

PRICE FIVE CENTS CHICAGO URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS INDUSTRY WEEK CHICAGO URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS INDUSTRY WEEK Meetings Held All Over City at White Clubs, Churches, By Radio. To Be Held Annually Aim to Get Jobs for Negroes by Firms Who do not Now Employ Them. (By The Associated Negro Press) Chicago, Ill., April 15.—In a drive to develop public opinion favorable to Negro labor and to persuade industries and employers to open wider their doors to Negro men and women workers, the Chicago Urban League launched last Sunday, Negro in Industry Week. Nationally Known Speakers. With a battery of nationally known speakers, most of whom had been in attendance at the National Urban League Conference held in St. Louis on hand, the plea for greater opportunity for black workers, based both upon their availability and the worthwhile records which they are making in many of the plants and factories of the city and country, was carried to white Chicago in meetings held over the city, at their clubs, and churches and through the radio. Dr. John Hope, President of Morehouse College; Eugene Knickle Jones, Charles S. Johnson, Editor of Opportunity Magazine; T. Arnold Hill, head of the Department of Industrial Relations; Ira Reid and Hubert of New York, and J. H. Kearns of Milwaukee were among the colored speakers, and many prominent white speakers filled engagements each day during the entire week. Negroes Made Foremen. Some unusual reports of the records for efficiency and ability being made by Negro workmen in some of the larger plants of Chicago where they work in mixed groups and have been in some instances made foremen, were given by employers and personnel managers. Organizations Co-operate. Some of the leading organizations of the city, the Men's City Club, the Women's City Club, the Chicago Woman's Club, the Appomattox Club and the Jewish Woman's Club were among those co-operating in making the effort a success. The Negro in Industry Week closed with a mass meeting at Wendell Phillips High School, at which a report was given of the survey made of the 288 business houses conducted by white people in given colored residential districts of the South Side area which had been studied and approached with a request that they give colored employees an opportunity for employment. Executive Secretary A. L. Foster and Industrial Secretary H. N. Robinson, who had the effort in charge, were much gratified by the fine response which was met. "The purpose of Negro in Industry Week which we are planning to make an annual affair," said Secretary Foster, "is to 1. Arouse public thinking on the low economic status of Negroes, forced upon them by lack of occupational opportunity. 2. To impress upon Negroes the necessity for training and thorough application to the jobs they now hold as a means of widening employment opportunities for them and demonstrating the capacity of the race. 3. To get jobs for colored men and women in occupations and business houses that do not now offer employment or which afford little chance for advancement." William H. Perry William Henderson Perry, 439 Rondo St., died Thursday morning. April 14, 1927, at 5:40, at Ancker hospital. Mr. Perry has been slick for some time and has been in the Ancker hospital since last Saturday. Mr. Perry is one of the oldest citi- zens of St. Paul. He is survived by two sons, William and Camilius, and a daughter, Grace Perry.

The passage of the Hairdressers and Beauty Culturists Bill by the Legislature last Tuesday marked an epoch in the history of the people of our group in this country in the way of co-operation. Many of our girls are employed as hairdressers and beauty culturists in the Twin Cities and on the trains of the Northern Pacific Railway. For a time the beauty schools in the Twin Cities refused to accept colored girls as students. When the bill to regulate hairdressers and beauty culturists was proposed the N. W. Colored Hairdressers Club, composed of operators and owners of shops in the Twin Cities, employed W. T. Francis as counsel to see that in the passage of any legislation on the subject the girls of our group may wish to learn the art might be protected in their desire to attend the schools. The bill was revised, altered and amended many times during the two months it was tossed about in committees, but when passed it contained the provision that "No school shall refuse to teach any student, otherwise qualified, on account of race, creed or color." The N. W. Colored Hairdressers Club did not act for their protection, as they are already admitted, but acted unselfishly to protect those who may desire to learn the art in the future. HOW TO COMMIT SUICIDE By William Pickens. first place, if you want to commit suicide, let story window. If you jump out of the roof will be a sneaky suspicion that you were suicide as for sympathy—and you are not. This is no use in anybody's bungling the suicide, are plenty of convenient places—cliffs, One who has the money to pay his fare, City and step off the Woolworth Tower. Being audience gathered in the City Hall Square, publicity part of the affair would be all there. And all the New York papers would go such an event, especially if it were enactive-and-ten tower. Tower were not preferred, there are places if only the suicide prospect would join; are the great bridges over East River, we under them; there are the subway trains drop off the platform right in front of the minute or two; there is a very high play up by 110th street. Men in other cities one need not bungle them. St. Louis there is the old Eads Bridge and on Dead Mississippi flows beneath them. And girls in St. Louis higher than one story will accommodate any person who really wants to soil. May go in and bungle a life, bungle a life-wear concern—but it certainly is the champion of the splendid opportunities offered, finds it suicide attempt. In the first place, if you want to commit suicide, don't jump out of a first story window. If you jump out of the first floor window, there will be a sneaky suspicion that you were not so much looking for suicide as for sympathy—and you are not likely to get either. There is no use in anybody's bungling the suicide job nowadays: there are plenty of convenient places—cliffs, high bridges, and towers. One who has the money to pay his fare could come to New York City and step off the Woolworth Tower. There is always a waiting audience gathered in the City Hall Square nearby, so that the publicity part of the affair would be all prearranged for, as it were. And all the New York papers would give first page publicity to such an event, especially if it were enacted from the top of this five-and-tower If the Tower were not preferred, there are plenty other opportunities, if only the suicide prospect would journey to New York; there are the great bridges over East River, with plenty of deep water under them; there are the subway trains, ready for a fellow to drop off the platform right in front of them, and one comes every minute or two; there is a very high place in the elevated railway up by 110th street. But even in other cities one need not bungle the job. For example, in St. Louis there is the old Eads Bridge and other bridges, and the broad Mississippi flows beneath them. And there are a few buildings in St. Louis higher than one story and perfectly willing to accommodate any person who really wants to shuffle off his mortal coil. One may go in and bungle a life, bungle a life-work, bungle a business concern—but it certainly is the champion bungler who, with all the splendid opportunities offered, finds it necessary to bungle a suicide attempt. DISTURBERS OF WORSHIP As we have had much to say as to "End Sickness" The dubs who insist upon holding their own Arrival to stumble over their feet, contend rejoinder that we are placing a premature's conduct. No such thing. We main ricker should have come to church to listen to right rights; that if he worships his God in which is unselfishly, he will welcome and mute Arrival. Perhaps we have had much to say as to "End Seat Parkers" in church. The dubs who insist upon holding their own and causing Mr. Late Arrival to stumble over their feet, come back with the indignant rejoinder that we are placing a premium upon Mr. Late Arrival's conduct. No such thing. We maintain that the end seat parker should have come to church to listen and worship, not to assert rights; that if he worships his God in a Christian manner, which is unselfishly, he will welcome and noiselessly receive Mr. Late Arrival. But all that does not excuse Mr. Late Arrival. Churches are for worship, not gossip and parades. The person who enters church long after the text is announced and when the sermon is about half developed, who has not had the benefit of the atmosphere created by the opening service of song, prayer and scripture reading; who gives grudgingly, a few little brown Abraham Lincoln, in an offering belated for his benefit; who struts the aisle to display the latest, dollar down, dollar a week garment; who stumbles over Mr. Early Arrival's corn to an inside seat; who immediately thereafter nods to nearby beholders, and starts a chatter about nothing; the only place in church for such a person is at a mourners bench begging forgiveness. Both God and man have been offended. The one great excuse for such persons being perpetually permitted to attend divine service is that "Christ came not to save the righteous, but to bring sinners in repentance." It is said that in 1620 the first public school was established in Virginia for the education of Indians and Nerroes. The American Artists Review said recently "The Negro race has produced two violinists who have attracted attention as artists, Clarence Cameron White and Joseph H. Douglass. They occupy first rank among American musicians and the race is justly proud of them." Join the Northwestern Negro Business and Professional Men's Association.

Star Not Supernatural According to Kepler the "Star of Bethlehem" was probably a conjunction of Jupiter and Saturn in the constellation Pisces, the two planets being so close as to seem like a single star. This conjunction is recorded as having occurred about 7 B. C., and might possibly coincide with the birth of Christ. Another theory is that the Star of Bethlehem was a recurrent star, the last appearance of which was in 1572, when it appeared in Cassiopela. This star is reported to appear about every 350 years. A third theory is that the star was Venus, which varies in brightness, but is the brightest of all known stars.

The beach is bordered by a dense forest on the left side, and a distant mountain range can be seen in the background. The sky is overcast, with a uniform gray tone covering the entire scene. There are no visible buildings, people, or vehicles, giving the landscape a serene and untouched appearance. In the Squared Circle In the Squared Circle It is generally thought that the first glove contest was between John L. Sullivan and James J. Corbett in 1892. T. S. Andrews, however, says that a French publication tells of an exhibition at Aix-la-Chapelle, France, on October 8, 1818, as follows: "Yesterday a great exhibition was made by English boxers. The two champions were built like Hercules and were naked to the waist. They entered the place with their hands guarded with huge padded gloves. After a severe contest, one of them, more adroit than his rival, struck him so violent a blow on the breast that he fell, and victory was thus decided." The Last Straw Jones, sunk deep in a huge leather armchair, dejectedly gazed from his club window. Life was a curious proposition, he had decided. Curious beyond words. First of all, he reflected, he had been disappointed in love. Later, he had been disappointed in marriage. And now, to cap the climax, he had been disappointed in divorce. You see, that very afternoon he had married his ex-wife. Odd Shapes Taken by Lava From Mauna Loo Kilauea, on the island of Hawaii, as high as Vesuvius and twice as wide, lies 30 miles from the sea in a mountain range wherein are three dead volcanoes and one partially alive. This last, Mauna Loa, sends, from time to time, streams of lava down its slopes. Some years ago three streams burst forth from the sides of this three-fourths of a mile from Hilo, the chief city of the island. There have been several outbreaks of Kilauea in the last century. In 1840 there was a brilliant eruption of lava, the light of which, it was reported, could be seen a hundred miles away. Where the lava flowed through the forest it left curious relics in the shape of lava arches, bridges and great vases. These vases were formed by the lava piling itself about some lofty tree trunk, burning away the wood within and killing the upper part of the tree. In the course of time seeds were deposited in the open top, filled with decaying bark, until now there is a gigantic lava vase holding ferns and flowers and vines. "Old Grad" Speaks The old "grad" who had been attending graduation was reminiscent, "I remember distinctly my own school commencement," he said, "and I remember, also, the words of my principal. 'Boys,' he said, I know you dread a bit going out on your own. But remember, it's only the first plunge that's the worst. After that, if you're any good, you'll like it." Those were homely words, but I think it stuck with us fellows as the longer, more finished addresses of today do not."—Springfield Union. Get What They Look For Those fellows who go through life grumbling, saying they have found only hard knocks, are those folks who've been looking for hard knocks. You get out of life what you put in it, and find what you are looking for. It is the person who looks for the joys and pleasures of life who finds the bright things, and it is well for all to remember the man who lives with his head in the clouds is the first one who discovers the silver lining.

Study of Nature Made School's Special Work The main object of the study of nature in the Berkeley (Calif.) elementary schools is to give each child the opportunity of becoming acquainted with the simplest phases of plant and animal life, writes Cilia Paronl, in Nature Magazine of Washington. This, the nature study teacher says, keeps the pupil active, interested and looking for new aspects of the life about him, and makes him a happy and helpful member of his group. As to nature study, Mrs. John D. Sherman, president of the General Federation of Women's clubs, says: "There is nothing but unanimity of opinion among the women leaders of the nation regarding the necessity of teaching children to know, appreciate and enjoy nature. It is due to every child that his mind be opened to the voices of nature; all his senses so trained and adjusted that the world will become alive to him." Nature work is part of the class work from the kindergarten to the high sixth grade, 75 minutes being scheduled for it in the lower and 50 minutes in the upper grades, the teacher says. Being correlated with language, reading, geography, art, music, and manual work, more than the allotted time is often given to it. In the lower grades the work consists, as much as possible, of the observation and study of live forms of plant and animal life, found in the child's home environment. Where classes are small enough and where parks, hillsides, the university campus, children's home gardens or school gardens are located in the neighborhood field trips are taken. These nature activities have been found to greatly vitalize the other subjects of the classroom, and teachers have admitted the greater interest that pupils have shown in reading and in oral and written language work and have also acknowledged a new and happier interest on their own part in their teaching work. Citizens Rout Bandits For a very good reason one hears less of the Bulgarian-Macedonian comitadjis these days. Formerly the bands formed in Bulgaria and rode across Macedonian southern Serbia to Albania, plundering and levying tribute on the villagers as they galloped through. They would rest a while in Albania, and then fight and plunder their way back again to Bulgaria. The Yugo-Slav government has organized the villages to protect themselves. Each village was asked if it wanted arms. Most of the villages answered in the affirmative. Arms and ammunition were distributed, and a sergeant was detailed to each village to organize the defense. After a few raids in which the comitadjis had heavy losses, they gave up their activities. For some time all has been quiet in southern Serbia. New Altitude Indicator Eight times as sensitive as a barometer. This is the claim made for a new instrument which measures altitudes above sea level. French physicists have invented this efficient method, which involves heating a wire of resistance by passing an electric current through it. When a steady temperature has been produced, the wire, if moved upwards, will become cooler owing to the lesser density of the surrounding air. The instrument can be carried by climbers. The drop in temperature gives a more accurate index of the increase in altitude than the ordinary pocket aneroid used by mountaineers. Birth of Wireless The first wireless message sent from a ship at sea was dispatched from the American liner St. Paul to the Needles November 15, 1809, the vessel being then 66 miles from the land station. The wireless was first used in saving lives early in 1800, when Jack Binns sent out his memorable call for help from the stricken ocean liner Republic, after its collision with the Florida off Nantucket. Encouraging Frank Lawrence went on location with Sam Rork's First National Unit and stepped into a roadside cafe, lured by the sign "Roast Chicken." After waiting until he nearly fell asleep he called the girl and demanded where his chicken was. "It will be here pretty quick," the girl assured him. "The cook hasn't killed it yet, but she's gotten in a couple of nasty blows."—Los Angeles Times. Freighter Unloads Itself In marine equipment the tendency to adopt electric drive throughout for all auxiliary service as well as for propulsion has been evidenced by the construction of a self-unloading bulk freighter and dredge of the suction and dipper type, each of the three craft being the largest and most powerful of its type. Improved auxiliaries included new deck winches, automatic mooring winch and an automatic towing machine. Veteran Barber Philip Seldensticker of Galveston, Texas, who asserts he is the oldest active barber in Texas, celebrated his eightth birthday by putting a smart boyish bob on the head of a 1927 model flapper. Seldensticker says that in addition to doing tonsilor work for members of the younger generation, his customers have included governors, generals, bishops and prize fighters.—Indianapolis News. Writers Helped Each Other Thomas Carlyle and Ralph Waldo Emerson each was aware of the genius in the other but they had difficulties in getting the public to accept their works. They helped each other, however, Emerson bringing about the early publications of Carlyle's essays in this country, and Carlyle arranging for the first edition of Emerson's that was published in England. After trying for years to find a publisher for "The French Revolution," Carlyle wrote to Emerson: "I have given up the notion of hawking my little manuscript book any further; for a long time it has lain quiet in its drawer, waiting for a better day. Sad fate! to serve the devil and get no wages even from him."—Mentor Magazine. Divorce in Birdland A blow has been struck at the belief that birds choose their mates for life and are free from the evils of divorce by a ten-years' study of bird habits. The birds that were observed were household wrens, which usually raise two broods of young birds each year. Instead of the bird family persisting from year to year, or even through a single season, the parent birds were found to change mates between the two broods of one year. The mating lasts only during the time the young birds are helpless. After that each parent feels quite free to make whatever new arrangement may seem desirable. Magazine for Blind As a result of special presses and other apparatus developed by a blind man, persons who suffer a similar affliction are able to enjoy a monthly magazine. Its first appearance was so successful that it has now been increased to 60 pages and has national circulation, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. For the first time in their lives many blind subscribers have been able to read advertisements and other matter common to the usual publication. Heretofore most of their reading matter has been limited to books, and in some localities few of these have been obtainable. The magazine is printed in raised characters. "Dodging" Raindrops The old joke about dodging the rain-drops had some foundation, after all. If you go fast enough you can dodge 'em, say aviators of the United States army air corps at McCook field, Dayton, Ohio. A pilot riding in the open cockpit of a plane through a heavy rainstorm will not get wet, the fliers say. But he does not ride between the drops. The speed of the plane produces such a rush of wind about the ship that the rain is carried backward instead of falling upon it. We would be pleased to have a small amount on your subscription.

"On the train the other day I met a feller that I couldn't hardly make out," said Farmer Funter. "The car was crowded and he took a seat by me. He said he liked farmers better than any other class of men; they were honester, knew more, had better things to eat, made more money, and enjoyed life better than any other sort of men." "Of course, he was a swindler!" returned Farmer Fumbigate. "How bad did he sting you!" "That was the funny part. He didn't want to borrow any money, sell me a phony gold watch, or play any kind of a game of that sort. I couldn't make out anything about him except that he must be crazy. But he didn't look it or act."—Kansas City Star. Shepherds Fear "Devil" Shepherds in the neighborhood of Machach-Kala, in central Soviet Asia, have gone on strike, declaring that the devil appearing in the form of a gigantic eagle has made their profession hazardous. They report that in the course of a few days the eagle killed 42 sheep, carrying off the younger victims. The mountain eagles in the vicinity of Machach-Kala are noted for their size and ferocity. In this instance the shepherds were so intimidated by the great bird that they feared to come to the assistance of their flocks. Bit of Colonial History Governors island, in New York, was ceded to the director of New Netherlands in 1637 "in consideration of certain parcels of goods." In 1698 the island was set aside by the assembly as part of the "Denizen of His Majesty's Fort at New York for the benefit of his majesty's governors," and so it became known as Governors island. Governors island was ceded to the United States by the legislature of New York state on February 15, 1800. The island consisted of 69.8 acres. This was found inadequate for the military needs of the department headquarters and the military garrison and in 1880 a further cession was made by the legislature of 103 acres. The island at present has an area of 173 acres. Attitude Counts When a dog runs briskly up to us, head and tail up, and a friendly light in his eyes, we instinctively pat him on the head.

Armies of millions crashed together in that Armageddon and France reeled under the impact of the terrific blows of Ludendorff. Little is left today of that holocaust. We stood on Dead Man's hill the other day and around could be seen a most rustic and peaceful landscape. An early spring sun, mellow and beneficent, was turning the fields into a deeper hue of green, peasants were busy here and there, little children played games on the roads.

Relics of Bronze Age While widening a road near London, England, workmen disclosed a circular area, obviously artificial, covered by a setting of rough stones. After measurements had been taken it became clear that the remains were the foundation of a round cairn of the Bronze age, probably some 4,000 years old, and long ante-dating the Roman fort situated a few hundred yards to the southeast. & WILLS Morticians fabulous new mortuary chapel 17 West Exchange Street ST.

While listening from a crystal set, a Manchester (Eng.) man started to stroke a cat that lay at his feet. Simultaneously with every stroke he noticed atmospheres in the phones. Thinking that the noises might be caused by movements of his body and the flex cord, he tried stroking the carpet instead of the cat. He found that only by stroking in one place could he obtain the atmospheres, and there they appeared even when the cat was stroked by somebody else. While using a coherer as a detector, Sir Oliver Lodge had a similar experience. He attributed the noise to little sparks caused by stroking a dry cat, and sufficiently powerful to affect the wireless set. Fewer Veterinarians The bureau of animal industry says that the number of veterinary colleges and the number of applicants for federal veterinary positions has fallen off in recent years; the total enrollment of students in the 18 accredited veterinary colleges in the United States and the one in Canada was only 582 last year; that the number of students who completed the required four-year course and were graduated from the various colleges in 1926 was only 132, or 11 less than the number in 1925, and the combined freshman enrolment in all the veterinary colleges in 1926 was only two larger than the total enrollment in 1925. Dog Keeps Appointment Spot, a smooth-haired fox terrier owned by a manufacturer of Birmingham, England, is apparently not only able to tell time, but utilizes this ability to keep appointments promptly.

A modern disciple of Benjamin Franklin, Dr. V. V. Boys, British physicist, proposes to answer these questions by shooting a rocket up into a thundercloud, to see whether a lightning flash will follow the track of the rocket, either downward to the earth or upward from the earth to the cloud. Doctor Boys explains that the track of a rocket contains countless electrified atoms which are discharged as the explosive drives the rocket upward. Knowledge of whether lightning would follow such an electrified channel through the air, he says, might reveal many unknown facts about the nature of thunderbolts.—Popular Science Monthly. Teaching India's Farmers Farmers of India are being taught modern methods of agriculture. The Bombay government arranged that leading farmers in different parts of the country attend the first Bombay Presidential Agricultural show, which was held recently at Poona, so that they might return home and set examples for their neighbors.

Lea in Our Dumb Animals. The problem is: Can a frog or toad live embedded in a rock? Two men working on the rocks near Bar- mouth have found a lve frog inside the solid rock, and it is believed that ft must have been there for years. ‘Toads and frogs are often found im- prisoned inside lumps of coal and rock, 0 it is not surprising that people mar- vel at the apparent endurance pos- sessed by these reptiles. Yet the phenomenon has a prosaic explanation. When the creatures were little they must have crept through some crevice into a hole, and there existing on in- sects, they have grown larger. So long as they can get a little alr and a few insects, they can live as long as oF- inary frogs, so that there 1s nothing marvelous. Dean Buckland is authority for the statement that frogs die in less than year if they are deprived of air and food, and that they cannot live more than two years without food, even if given plenty of alr, so that the old be- lief that they can live for centuries entombed tn a solid rock is a fallacy. There must always be an airhole and & means for insects to crawl in, for the frog or toad to live many months. Testimony to Value of Home Environment Tests recently concluded to deter- mine the moral and religious effects of varlous agencies on children have shown that home environment goes further in shaping character than any other single influence. Within the home circle, the-influence of the moth- er is the strongest element. ‘This is true because it is a fact of child psychology that one’s course in life is pretty well mapped out and charted during the first seven years. Study child at seven and you will have 4 miniature picture of the fu- ture man or woman. Most of these first seven years, of course, repre- sent that period of childhood when almost all influences are negligible ex- cepting those of the home, ‘A famous welfare worker on the ‘New York bowery has found that al- most without exception the human derelicts who have been rescued and regenerated through his efforts came originally from homes in which there was a wholesome moral atmosphere. No matter how low they may have sunk, the seed of goodness implanted within them in their childhood homes wever died.—Thrift Magazine. Icicles Centuries Old Seutoomad with (gimening tem that are believed to have formed 150,- 000 years ago, when all northern Eu- rope and Russia were enveloped in ice, @ cave 26 miles long has been found in the Ural mountains. It abounds with grottoes of extraordinary beauty; the root is a mass of snow crystals that reflect the colors of the rainbow, and there are wide corridors, at the bottom of which a subterranean river Probably flowed many years ago, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. About a mile from the entrance to the cavern 4s a small lake, near which were found several objects dating from the time of the Persian king Cyrus, and military fortifications probably built Guring the Fourteenth century were unearthed near by. Fighting Men Imported Many soldiers from Germany and Poland were imported by the federal government for service in the Union army during the Civil war, according to official correspondence between the Department of State and the United States consulate at Hamburg in 1868. ‘The plan was operated extensively, it is said, and large sums were paid in Dounties to the men obtainel in that way. Many of those who came to fight remained in this country after the close of the war. It is believed the plan was largely directed by and in the interest of wealthy Eastern men who resorted to it to obtagm substl- tutes for military service when the Graft was adopted.—Detroit News. Astor’s Business Projects John Jacob Astor, who became one of the outstanding fur dealers in this country, had only $75 when he arrived in Amentca. He wheeled his own skins to market, says Maude Stewart Welch in her book, “Vrouw Knickerbocker.” ‘There were few musical instruments fn the colonies and later Astor became a dealer in planos, the Astors in Lon- don belng engaged in the manufacture of these instruments. Through his connection with the fur and trapping industry, Astor founded the first white settlement in Nebraska, and also the town of Astoria in Oregon. Ancient Feared Beans ‘Wise men of old had a great fear of beans. Even stern old Hippocrates ‘was frightened when the blooms were on, for fear harm would come to his patients, and Pythagoras and his fol- lowers refrained from eating beans lest disaster should befall thelr par- ents, But Adonis helped upset the fear of the bean by ordering beans to be offered on the altar of the god of Day and of Fine Arts, but in parts ‘of Europe, as late as the middle of the Sixteenth century. there were communities where the fear of the bean and {ts blossom was to be found Gracious Lady's Tact in Trying Situation It took a society leader from Boston te teach me Just how grace «grt efoug lady may ‘sometimes be. some incredible reason (in our hotel) there was a door leading from her bathroom into the hall, and, equally incredible, when a husky sweeper mis- took his broom closet and pulled at the bathroom door it came open to admit him to the Immediate presence of a society leader enjoying her bath. ‘The sweeper’s consternation, pulsat- ing through the service channels, was registered at the desk in about three minutes. By and by the blue-blooded Boston!- an, marvelously gowned for dinner, as she always was, entered the lobby, and the young men at the desk prayed that she would pass on into the din- ing room. When she headed in their direction they stood their ground he- roteally, but the blood froze in thelr veins, She glanced from room clerk to front clerk and back again, smiled sweetly and said: “My mother, taught me to take my bath regularly, but she affixed one rigid requirement—that I should always take it in private. If you'll be good enough to have some ‘one nail up that public entrance to my bathroom I'll be grateful.” Rufus Steele in the Saturday Evening Post. Dutch Names Given to Old New York Streets Very curious and interesting are the old street names of New York city. Particularly in the financial district are to be found historic associations in this relation. Most of the streets had Dutch names, since then more or less changed. For instance, Broad street was called the “Graght,” be- cause it was an inlet from the bay. ‘Nassau street, between Wall and Pearl streets, was once called “Pie Woman's lane,” Stonestreet was called “Brouwer street,” because the West Indies company’s brewery was at No, 10, South William street was “Slyck Sleegh,” meaning “dirty lane.” Liberty street was first called by the Dutch “Tienhoven street”; later the British called {t “Crown street.” Pine street was first called “Queen street” and later “King street.” Exchange alley was “Oyster Pasty alley” and “Tin Pot alley.” Cortlandt street up to 1728 was “Windmill lane.” White- hall street derived {ts name from Peter Stuyvesant’s mansion, “White- hall.” William street, before tt hon- ored the English king, was called “Burgers path.” Coenties slip was tamed for Coenties ‘Ten Eyck. Pygmy Sense of Humor! A race of pygmies has been discov- ered in New Guinea in the Dutch East Indies by an American scientific ex- pedition. These people use stone im- plements and weapons, ‘They are strict vegetarians, When a pygmy wants to get married, he is subjected first to an ordeal, which consists in the following: He is placed at a certain distance to serve as a target for the best bow and arrow sharpshooters. He must try to dodge the fiying ar- rows. When the ordeal has lasted long enough and he has survived, the chief says: “Here is your wife. You are courageous and fleet-footed enough to endure marriage.” The pygmies have a sense of humor, apparently.— Pierre Van Paassen, in the Atlanta Constitution. Left Name in History King-Maker was the name given to Richard Neville, earl of Warwick, one of the most powerful nobles of the Middle ages. He took a prominent part in the Wars of the Roses. He raised an army of 30,000 and placed the duke of York on the throne. Then he turned to the house of Lancaster, deposed Edward of York and restored Henry VI. The restoration lasted only a few months, for the Yorkists won the bloody battle of Barnet in April, 1474, in which Warwick was slain, The duke of York was restored as King Edward IV. Lytton’s histor- {eal romance, “The Last of the Barons,” is based on the career of Warwick, the King-Maker.—Montreal Family Herald. Odd Railroad Troubles Railway accidents caused by ani- mals are not infrequent in some parts of the world. A passenger train in ‘Siam a few years ago was delayed by running over a tiger on a viaduct. Shortly after this an elephant, charg- ing a freight, derailed several cars and wrecked the locomotive before it was killed. Insect pests in South Africa have been known to cause rail- way troubles. One report tells of a train having been delayed for two hours while the right of way was dis- puted with millions of “thousand legs.” In 1928 there were such swarms of lo- custs in one district that the right of way had to be sprayed daily for more than a week.
