VOL.2.NO.25 ELK'S CONVENTION AT NEW YORK CITY MAY BE BARRED Grand Lodge Session May Be Ruled Contrary to Grattan Law. Lawyers Conferring Law Makes Use of Word "Elk" Crime When Used by Race Members. (H. C. Exch.) New York—The twenty-eighth grand lodge session of the Improved Benevolent Protective Order of Elks of the World may not be held in New York in August. It is rumored that the convention may not be held in Manhattan at all. On Friday, April 15th a committee of lawyers, all members of the order selected from various parts of the country, will confer with Attorney-General Ottinge at Albany on the legal phase of a convention in New York City and the Grattan Law, a law which places Negro Elks outside the law in this State. Counselor Thomas L. Higgins, exalted ruler of Brooklyn Lodge, is one of the members of this committee, which was appointed by J. Finley Wilson, grand exalted ruler. To Prepare Briefs They will return to New York and there prepare briefs on their opinion as to whether the convention can be legally held there, and these briefs will be taken up with the grand trustees who, upon the opinions of the lawyers' committee, will render the decision whether the next grand lodge session will be held in New York City. Gratton Law. When New York City decided to go in for the grand lodge session of 1927, a definite plan for the removal of the Grattan Law was in the mind of the late Gilchrist Stewart, who was the original head of the New York Grand Lodge Convention law committee. The Grattan Law, in effect, makes even the use of the Elk name a crime when so used by any other than whites. The law, however, has lain dormant and never been invoked. Nevertheless, if it was invoked, it could work havoc among the members of the I. B. P. O. E. of W. in New York State. Upon interviewing Fred D. McCracken, Exalted Ruler of the Elks Gopher Lodge of St. Paul he stated that no official word had been received by the St. Paul lodge. THIRD ANNUAL ELKS' FUN FESTIVAL AND BAZAAR The Elks Gopher Lodge No. 105 I. B. P. O.

Todd, secretary, 207 W. Central Ave., Phone Elk. 2348. Valuable prizes will be given away each night. ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK A debate by University students was presented at St. James church under the auspices of the Young Matrons club and was a huge success. An overflow crowd turned out to hear Judge Albert B. George of Chicago who addressed them at Pilgrim Baptist church. Andrew J. Volstead, 20 years a member of Congress from Minnesota and a signer of the Dyer Anti-Lynching Bill, addressed the N. A. A. C. P. Forum at St. James church. Instigated by the Minneapolis branch of the Urban League a drive was launched for the prevention of tuberculosis among colored people, in conjunction with the Anti-spitting campaign by the Hennepin County Tuberculosis Association.

Their songs went over big and won much applause. This quartette has been filling a number of engagements throughout the Twin Cities at various churches. They sang five consecutive Sundays at Rev. Roy Smith's church and at Rev. Sainsbury's church a couple of weeks ago. Radio fans listening in to WCCO have enjoyed the musical numbers broadcast by the Jubilee Four. It's not beauty that makes you popular, explained a group of Twin City young ladies as they prepared to enter the "Echo Popularity Contest" which is being run in conjunction with an educational test under the auspices of the St. Paul Echo. Just how popular these girls are remains to be seen, as it is up to the public to make the decision. Votes Will Count. From all indications these young ladies are planning an extensive and thorough campaign. Campaign managers have already been engaged and various clubs and organizations have promised their support. Certain clubs have gone on record by stating they would vote solid for the right candidate. Just who they will vote for or how often we don't know. It depends upon the activity of the candidate and her platform. Each vote will be good for one month's subscription to the Echo and will cost 25 cents. It is lawful to vote as often as you wish and for as many different candidates as you wish. Your vote makes you eligible to enter the Educational Test in which a $100.00 cash prize will be awarded. Independent Candidates Clubs, organizations or individuals wishing to back their own candidate ANNUAL DANCE DATE POSTPONED ANNUAL DANCE DATE POSTPONED Definite Decision Limits Guest List to One Hundred Couples. The members of Psi Chapter of the Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity have decided to postpone the annual dance from the previously selected date of April twenty-ninth to May sixth. Extensive plans and preparations have been made to make the coming dance the best thing of its kind ever given in the Twin Cities. It has been definitely decided upon that the guest list shall be limited to one hundred couples, and already there is a great deal of keen anticipation as to who the invited guests shall be. The coeds and other fair young ladies of the community are bidding high for invitations to the dance for they have not forgotten the dances given by the Kappas for the past two years and the one for this year is to surpass the other two. Invitations have been sent to several of the other chapters of the fraternity in the northwest province, and it is expected that there will be a good representation from Iowa City, Des Moines and Chicago. The men of Psi Chapter are laboring night and day to perfect the dance to the extent of establishing a standard that will be hard to equal. GIRLS' CLUB PLAN TRIP On Saturday, May 7th the Teen Age Girls' club, an organization of young girls of Welcome Hall, will make a trip to the Sibley House, Mendota. All girls interested in hiking and sightseeing are invited to attend. They will leave Welcome Hall at 8:00 a. m. sharp. Each one bring her own lunch. ST. PAUL-MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY, APRIL 23, 1927 should fill out nomination blanks at once and mail to the Echo office accompanied with $2.00, the nomination fee which is good for 1 year subscription. Independent candidates are expected to split the vote and make it a many cornered and spirited race. A great deal of enthusiasm is expected to be shown by the candidates, due to the fact that a $100.00 diamond ring, a $40.00 watch and a $15.00 purse are to be awarded the candidates securing the three highest numbers of votes. Consolation prizes will be given all candidates. Co-operation Sought. All clubs and organizations are asked to co-operate. Campaign managers are interested in making arrangements to have their candidate appear at all club and organization meetings, at which time their platform and the policy of the Echo will be talked on. The support of the business men and women is also sought. The campaign headquarters is at the office of the St. Paul Echo, 614 Court Block, St. Paul, Minnesota.

No pains have been spared by the committee in charge to make this one of the most elaborate affairs ever given in the Twin Cities. Indications are that a great crowd of visitors from Duluth, Winnipeg, Milwaukee, Chicago, and Des Moines will attend. It is expected that members of the National Staff including Eugene Kinckle Jones, Charles S. Johnson, Editor of Opportunity, the national publication of the Urban League and Countee Cullen, noted poet and Richard L. Jones of the Defender staff Chicago.

Wednesday, April 6, 1927, met and gave careful consideration of all phases of the matter. "For lack of ability to bring about satisfactory agreement between the Local Committee at Indianapolis and the sub-Commission of the General Conference Commission, it was deemed wisest and best to reconsider the action of fixing Indianapolis as the seat of the next General Conference.

Chester A. Johnson, president of the Fellowship club stated, "Inasmuch as our hall has been engaged since December last, we could not change our date without a serious handicap.

MIXED FIGHTS ON COAST POPULAR MIXED FIGHTS ON COAST POPULAR Interest in Prize Fighting Augmented by Pacific Coast Promoters. Sacramento, Calif. April—(Pacific Coast News Bureau). Interest in prize fighting on the Pacific Coast augmented by the great popularity of mixed bouts between fighters of many races, is proving exceedingly profitable to promoters, fighters and the states as well. According to statistics on the fight game in California as recently made public by Walter A. Yarwood, Secretary of the State Athletic Commission, a total of 170,944 boxing fans paid 234,938 in gate receipts to witness 108 shows during March this year. Out of this sum the state tax amounted to 10,770, while other revenue received by reason of the act establishing the commission, totaled with the tax, netted the state $13,575 for March. Receipts for March this year jumped over $1000 on March of 1926, when the gate receipts for the month amounted to $233,696 for ninety-eight shows. Total receipts of the commission for 1927 are $58,045.23, according to the report of Mr. Yarwood.

PRICE FIVE CENTS ALPHA PHI ALPHA PLANS EDUCATION- AL CAMPAIGN Eighth Annual Go-to-High School Campaign Set for May 1-7. To Be Most Intensive Literature to be Distributed, Messages to be Broadcast by Radio. The effort that will be made this year by the members of the Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, to carry the message of the value of high school and college education to every parent and child who can possibly be reached, promises to be the most intensive and far-reaching than any of the former campaigns. The machinery for the drive was officially set in motion during the past month when the General President of the fraternity issued the proclamation designating the week of May first to May seventh as the time for the cooperative work of all members. The ideals and purposes back of this annual movement can be best seen from a reading of this proclamation. "Whereas the members of Alpha Phi Alpha are committed to lives of service, And, whereas the Fraternity has dedicated its efforts and program to that service of mankind, And, whereas Alpha Phi Alpha believes that proper dissemination of truth and knowledge elevates the moral, intellectual, and physical standards of people and destroys hatreds and prejudices. And, whereas to these ends Alpha Phi Alpha is militantly engaged in an effort to stimulate the ambition of boys and girls to acquire knowledge and to know the higher and the finer things of life. Now, therefore, I, Raymond W. Cannon, General President of Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Inc., and Director of the Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College Campaign, in accordance with authority vested in me by the General Constitution of the Fraternity, do hereby designate and proclaim the week of May first to May seventh, inclusive, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, for the operation of the Eighth Annual Go-to-High-School, Go-to-College Campaign." Seventy Chapters. It is possible to get some idea of the magnitude and effectiveness of this campaign when one knows that the membership of seventy chapters, located in states extending from Rhode Island on the north to Florida on the south, and from New York and Massachusetts on the east to California on the west, will be jointly engaged in a modern crusade against one of the most dreadful foes to the progress of mankind—the foe of Ignorance. While this work is sponsored by a fraternity whose membership is made up of college men of the Negro race, the effort has a national significance and aims, through the enlargement of educational opportunity, to promote better understanding among the people of the entire country. To Hold Mass Meeting. In every city where chapters are located and where active members are living, meetings and conferences will be held with students and parents, literature will be distributed, and where possible, messages will be broadcast by radio. During the week one big mass meeting will be held at which time a competent speaker will deliver a worth while message to the general public. This meeting will be announced in all local papers and every reader is invited and urged to attend. There is no doubt that such a movement deserves the concerted backing of every minister, educator, social worker, and members of the other professions, and with such backing, the results, measured in educational betterment, will be far-reaching.

Yesterday—Sunday afternoon—I met in one of our city parks, a colored gentleman, a Mr. Gilbert, of Omaha, Nebr., who is about to move with his family to Minneapolis and go into the tailoring business. He stated that he had attended Pilgrim Church in St. Paul, in the morning, and asked me where there was a Negro Baptist church in this city. I told him the only one I knew of was on Eighth street south, and directed him to it as well as I could for the evening services. Now it strikes me that it would be a very wise plan for all the Negro churches in both St. Paul and Minneapolis to publish in the Echo every week a church directory, giving the location, name of minister, and hours of service.

When an irresponsible automobile salesman gets hands upon a high powered car, of standard name and grammar school age, made perfectly wonderful by seventy cents worth of paint and two dollars worth of labor, all roads lead to the Negro neighborhood. Here are the circumstances: When you pay rent; probably no books or papers; pay church, club, lodge and burial insurance grudgingly; when you finish paying one of your household debts, then out comes your chest like that of a pouter pigeon, just as he begins to dig his heels into the sidewalk to take a strut, along comes a salesman with a second hand lure of an 10-gallons-to-the-mile. One of this type happens in many communities spreading devastation. The result is, the owner has no savings or credit; not enough wages to support his family and make regular payments upon his struggle buggy. In case of sickness, "Oh my!" The law does not require that he have a driver's license, nor that he be compelled to carry liability insurance. If the owner has one or more accidents before he learns to drive, then he finds it necessary to make French reparations for damages—argument and promises. Truly the struggle buggy buyer is a community menace.

My dear Sir: Find Red Riding Hood Character in Legend Little Red Riding Hood was a real girl, but her history has been altered in its journey down to modern nurseries. Abraham of Chinna, a knight of the Seventh century, who claimed a girl named Mary as his niece, walked himself up in a solitary cell as a monk after changing his mind at the altar about matrimony. Mary used to do her red hood each day and carry boiled milk and butter to her uncle, passing it to him through the one window of his cell. The former knight also was visited by a monk whose name was Wolf and whose character, according to ancient historians, quite justified the appellation. He used to fall in with Mary and would make pleasant inquiries concerning the conditions beneath the napkin in her basket. Arriving nowhere with his suit he carried the damsel off to a neighborly city where he finally deserted her. The uncle's wrath was so aroused that he left his seclusion to search for her in the guise of a cavailer, and finding her after a great expenditure of time, energy and money, brought her back and walled her up in a cell beside him. There she spent 15 years and tradition has it that many miracles were wrought by the two for pilgrims who visited them—Kansas City Times. Eider Ducks Brought For a long time Iceland prospered in her trade in the down of the elder ducks, which was prized all over the world for making pillows and quilts. As always in such cases, however, the pot-hunters overworked the industry and the result is that now there is no great amount of money in it. Very severe laws protect these birds, and the taking of the down from the nests is carefully regulated. Sea birds of various kinds make their nests in the cliffs and the hunting of these birds is a regular but perilous activity. They are caught with nets on the end of long poles, and also by trays made with horeshair snarres and having a live bird as a decoy tied to them. In some cases men are let down with ropes from cliffs hundreds of feet so as to gather eggs in otherwise inaccessible places. These wild birds, such as puffins, auks, gulllemots and terns, collect in such vast multitudes at some of these rookeries that they will sit perched so close together, as to form a solid mass. This helps them to keep warm. The noise made by their strident cries is overpowering, and when they are scared up and all take wing the rush of air is like a tempest.—Pathfinder Magazine.

EVA NEAL, Chairman THOMAS NEAL, Commander FRANK W EVA NEAL, Chairman ARTHUR TODD THOMAS NEAL, Commander MARY PATTON FRANK WIGINGTON NO PERSONAL FEAR IN MANGIN'S NATURE French General Ready to Accept Any Risk. With a view to raising the army morale the late Gen. Charles Mangin was constantly pushing his headquarters forward on a line with the divisional commands. The Germans had hardly left Soissons before he moved to a chateau in the suburbs within range of the enemy's guns. They could have blown the place to pieces in 20 minutes. The chief of staff and the heads of the bureaus protested that it was no place for clerks and typists, much less officers at desks. But they wasted their breath. Mangin said that it was best to be there and that nothing unpleasant would happen. One morning a nine-inch shell dropped near the gate, but no one was hurt. Again as the Germans left Laon he moved into a house at the foot of the bill under the town. The countryside was planted with mines whose fuses were arranged for delayed explosions. For nearly two weeks these blew up at odd times under cross roads and in buildings. Mangin installed himself without waiting for engineers to examine the premises, and again the staff was in a state of mind. The first evening during dinner a mine went off close by, rocked the house, and sprayed the room with broken window glass. Mangin was talking at the time. He paused, motioned to Baba, his tall Senegalese orderly, to sweep up the pieces, and went on. Afterward Rochbuet, his alde, said laughingly: "If it had been us instead of the windows it would have been just the same. He would have had Baba sweep us into his pal." All this was a standard of military conduct. Brutality, however, was foreign to his nature. His treatment of prisoners was invariably humane and considerate. He shrank from ordering punishments and executions. In the autumn an escaping prisoner was caught in the front lines in a French uniform. The lieutenant who caught him sent him back to army headquarters. Mangin sent for the lieutenant. "Why didn't you shoot him when you caught him?" he demanded. "I don't want him." He told the story at dinner and added hopelessly: "And now what am I going to do with him? Of course I ought to shoot him, but the poor devil had no intention of being a spy. He only wanted to escape." As a matter of fact he did not shoot him but sent him to the rear, and I suspect the man went back to Germany.—David Gray in Century Maga- SHOW ANGE n by AND AUXILIARY OF THE W.

He did not hold with those who used profanity, and it was difficult for him to endure it in patience. Yet once, when he led his cold and ragged troops through a desolate country, the men in ranks took up a rather plaintive song, whose refrain was "When this cruel war is over!" The whining, mawkish syllables roused the general's ice. He turned in his saddle, shouting: "Stop that d—n song! How in h—l do you expect to win a war when that is your opinion of it?" The ranks were silent, obediently so, and their leader resumed his reflections—Portland Oregonian. Treating Ferns Once a week set the fern in a pan of lukewarm water overnight instead of watering it. Ferns should be kept moist but not soggy. Give a fern a bi-monthly dose of castor oil. Drop a teaspoonful of the oil into the soil near the root. Once in two or three weeks add ammonia to the water—one teaspoonful to one quart of water. This will prevent the plant from getting warmer. To remove insects from the leaves use soap (some gardeners prefer naphtha soap) and lukewarm water and spray the plant well. Pull out the "suckers" as they appear if you desire a thrifty plant. Source of Information At a festival dinner of the Royal society it fell to Professor Huxley's lot to present the Royal medal to Gunther, in acknowledgment of his lithythological researches. He did so in these terms: "When I am asked to dine at the tables of the great, as I occasionally am, it invariably happens that when the second course is reached the lady whom I have taken in to dinner turns to me and asks, 'Professor Huxley, what is the nature of whitebait?' To which I invariably reply 'I really don't know, but if you will study Gunther's book on fishes in four quarto volumes, perhaps you will find out.'"

Earthquake Wave Seismologists say that every great earthquake causes pulsations which extend for thousands of miles in all directions on the globe, and one eminent authority has likened such pulsations to the long, long swells that sweep across the ocean. Not long ago an attempt was made to measure the height and length of waves of an earthquake that occurred in Greece, the pulsations of which were perceived by the aid of a specially constructed pendulum at Birmingham, England. The pulsations, or waves, passed through the rocky crust of the earth with a velocity of about two miles a second, and each of the largest of them, according to the inventor, must have been about 28 miles in length, but only half an inch in height.—Washington Star. Brilliant Retreat Xenophon, the Greek military leader and historian, lived from about the year, 430 to 355 B. C. In 401 B. C. he joined a body of 10,000 Greek mercenaries serving under Cyrus in Persia. Cyrus was slain, and it devolved upon Xenophon to lead home the Greeks over the mountains of Armenia, through a hostile and rugged country to the Black sea. He performed the great feat and wrote an account of the retreat of the 10,000, which is used in college today as a Greek reader.

They were royally entertained with luncheons, auto rides and theater parties and were given a reception Thursday evening at Phyllis Wheatley House, ending with four o'clock breakfast at Mrs. Milton Shanks, 3712 4th Ave. So., after which the guests departed for their homes well impressed with the people of the Twin Cities. The K. P.'s Easter Ball, held at the Dreamland Dancing Palace, Monday night, April 18th was a delightful affair. Mr. Thomas, one of the oldest members in the lodge was very enthusiastic over the results of the entertainment. Minneapolis Branch N. A. A. C.

Mrs. Mattle Rhodes and Mr. B. H. Miller will render vocal selections. Rev. L. W. Harris gave a splendid talk to the Y's Owls last Friday afternoon on "The Meaning of Easter." The relation between the Church and the Y. W. C. A. was portrayed in the Easter Service given by the Girl Reserves Sunday at Vespers. Henrietta Bonniparte represented the Church and thrilled the audience as she gave the story of the Resurrection Muriel Wigington as the Association Spirit served the Church by calling the girls of the world, represented by a number of Girl Reserves, and linking them in a band of sisterhood. Lovely Easter music was furnished by St. James Jr. Choir. Chapters of History History, tradition, romance and mystery are interwoven in ancient oriental rugs, writes Florence S. Clarke in Arts and Decoration Magazine. "Asia wove her ancient records into rugs, telling in their weave, designs and colors the history and traditions of every tribe and family of her people," she writes. "Were we of the Western world wiser in Eastern lore, we might trace in every symbol and splash of color some song of joy, or wall of despair, a story of heroic deed or a call to prayer, for the patient toilers of the East mingled their life stories with the patterns taught by nature in her magic wisdom—so each rug has a story of its own written in one of the many dialects of the world of imagination and tradition. In Egypt, an asp was the symbol of wisdom, a viper of power, a beetle of the early life, a butterfly of the soul—so one wonders what were the symbols woven into the rug in which Cleopatra rolled herself when making her unbidden entrance into Caesar's presence, well knowing that only as a rug, not as a queen, could she gain admittance. "One of the most beautiful rugs in the world, the sacred carpet of Ardebil, now in the Victoria Albert museum, nearly caused a break in relations between England and Persia, as Queen Elizabeth's ambassador felt insulted when requested to wear sandals over his shoes when stepping on its sacred surface." Odd Origin of Terms Now Houseensa Words Two English county families, the Hurleighs and the Burleighs, had a feud in Queen Elizabeth's time that kept the countryside in an uproar for many years. Hence the term "hurlyburly," says the Philadelphia Bulletin, Odin, the god of Norse mythology, had a son named Boh, a great general and a terrible fellow all round, "Boh," the exclamation, recalls the fame of Odin's dreadful offspring. Col. Francis Negus in Queen Anne's time invented the drink that still bears his name. John Pinebeck, a London goldsmith, put on the market a cheap, filmsy sort of jewelry—"pinchbeck" stuff, as it is called to this day. The cardigan jacket was named for Lord Cardigan, and the raglan coat for Gen. Lord Lraglan, who designed the coat for soldiers in the Crimean war. Shrapnel, macadam roads, dollies, mackintoshes, broug-hams, derbies—these and a hundred other things are named after the men who invented them, or take the names of places. Longitude Formerly each nation took its own capital or principal observatory as the standard meridian from which longitudes were measured. Another system had a meridian passing through or near the island of Ferro, defined as 20 degrees west of Paris, as the standard. While the system of counting from the capital of the country is still used for local purposes, the tendency in recent years is to use the meridian of Greenwich, near London, England, for nautical and international purposes. France, however, uses the meridian of the Paris observatory as its standard for all nautical and astronomical purposes. Amethyst Long Popular To allow full power to the wonderful virtues of the amethyst, the gem, according to a medieval custom, should only be worn as a ring on the third finger of the left hand. But such is its decorative quality that jewelers, despite superstition, have never limited its use. From ancient Babylon to the present day, the amethyst has appeared in every form of jeweled ornament—from the crowns of monarchs to the simplest of brooches and rings. Famous Forest Built Over Sherwood forest was an ancient forest in the west of Nottinghamshire, England, in a hilly district between Nottingham and Workspop. The tract covered about 200 square miles and was formerly a royal forest, famous as the scene of the exploits of Robin Hood. Only a small portion of the forest, near Rotterham, still remains. The rest of the country it once covered is now occupied by country seats and private parks, and is for the most part bare of trees. Auk Probably Extinct The auk was a marine bird belonging to the same family as the razorbills, gullemets, and puffins. The great auk was at one time a frequent visitor to the Orkneys and the Hebrides islands off the coast of northern Scotland and Iceland, but no living specimen has been seen for sixty years and the bird is believed to be extinct. The egg was as large as that of a swan. It is now highly prized and as much as $1,500 has been paid for a single egg. Medical Use for Lizards A Spanish doctor published in 1781 a memoir in which he discussed the astonishing cures obtained with preparations of lizards. "The patients who used them," he said, "experienced a feverish heat accompanied or followed by fainting, perspiration, and sometimes convulsions." On investigation it was found that the lizard the Spanish doctor used was the common gray wall lizard found in France in the warm season. Women Not "Weaker Sex" While the race always has regarded man as the stronger of the species he's actually woman's superior only where tests of physical power are concerned. In actual vitality and resistance to disease woman is his superior, says Dr. Harvey W. Wiley in Good Housekeeping Magazine. "Most people think that women as a rule are more prone to disease, less resistant to suffering and quicker to give way to bad health," he says, "but statistics do not support this idea. Women's average life is two years longer than men's. They go through pangs of childbirth which men could not withstand. They give their vitality to the welfare and upbringing of their children," and still do a share of the world's work that matches man's, he points out. Relieved Site of Miznah Broken statuettes of the Babylonian goddess Astarte against whose worship the prophet Jeremiah warned the Israelites, have been found by excavators at Tell-en-Naseth, a mound situated on a hill seven miles north of Jerusalem. The excavators are convinced they have discovered the site of the Mizpah of Benjamin, one of the greatest and most heavily fortified estudds of pre-Exile days. Crow Lost Its Prey Startled by a peculiar noise, Mrs. James Hennessey of Hillsboro, N. H., looked out of the window just in time to see a crow flying low with a partridge clutched tightly in its talons. Mr. Hennessey gave chase, and the bird, hampered with the weight of the partridge, dropped it and escaped the partridge soon died, however.

Dominion of Russia Though technically a part of the old Roman empire under the rule of the czars, the Russians in reality never conquered Svanetia, which has been occupied by an isolated mountain tribe occupying a small area in the heart of the Caucasus mountains. The Svanetian state, supposed to have been founded nearly 4,000 years ago, has been a republic ever since, making it the oldest republic in the world. In 1921, when the Communists extended their power along the Black sea, they decided to attempt to conquer Svanetia. The Swans sent a delegation down to warn the troops that it would be vain for them to try to break through the mountain barrier. The Russian captain refused to take heed. He went through southern Svanetia without trouble. With his battalion of 400 men marching single file along the trail he came to the almost pathless route on the cliffs overhanging the River Ingur, and there was trapped. Forty Swans, grouped on the opposite bank of the river, shot down the 400 Russian troops. Later, however, the Russians entered Svanetia by using machine guns, but it was an empty victory for them, because the Swans never have yielded to outside dictation—Asla Magazine. REE BIDE-A-WEI J.

One interesting deletion is a phrase from the episode of the poodle that sat down on the pinchbug Tom released in church during a dull sermon. When the pinchbug clamped on the dog fled yelping, but it was originally written that the poodle was "fiercely expressing at one end the woe that was torturing the other." Truly Original The teacher gave the following assignment to her spelling class: "I have here four words that I want you to use in your own original sentences. They are defeat, defense, detall and deduct." One little fellow, nicknamed "Sleepy" by his schoolmates because of his lack of fondness for work, drowsily opened his eyes and asked lazily: "Well, won't it be all right if we can use all four of them in one sentence?" On being assured that it was just as well, he returned to his comfortable position. The next day, when looking over the papers, she was amused but not at all surprised to find the following sentence on Sleepy's paper: "De feat of de duck went over de fence before de tall."

Sexes' Vocal Cords Talking fatigues women less than it does men, a Flemish scientist says in a dry objective way, without entering into the controversy as to whether the female is more talkative than the male. The scientist explains his statement by two facts: First, that the greater the length of the vocal cords, the more energy is required to produce a sound; second, that the vocal cords of women are shorter than those of men.

BEECHAM'S PILLS --- When Philip of Spain Heeded God's Command We all know that there is a right way and a wrong way to interpret the words of another. I know no better illustration than that brought to bear upon Philip II of Spain in the Sixteenth century to prevent him from supporting the efforts of certain Spanish promoters to dig a canal across the isthmus of Panama, William N. Bringance tells us, in the Independent. This ambitious project met with ill favor from certain Spanish merchants who feared that a canal would destroy their cherished monopoly upon Spanish colonial trade. So, knowing that good King Philip was a devout Christian, they adduced Biblical proof which satisfied him that the construction of such a canal would be in violation of the direct command of God. He accepted their proof, issued an edict and put an end to the sacrilegious canal-building plans of his followers. You may well ask what was the amazing proof submitted to Philip which led him to believe that the Almighty forbade such an apparently rational project as a mere canal. The answer may be surprising. The command of God was found in that well-known Biblical verse, which Philip was told applied to continents as well as man: "What God hath joined together let not man put asunder." No Question Animals Enjoy Playing Games That animals play games seems borne out by most people's observations. It is a common thing, for instance, to see a cat and dog, brought up together, playing hide and seek. There is a game which can often be seen played by dogs on any open space where they foregather on fine mornings. Children play it, too. In the south of England they call it "He", and in other parts "Touch" and "Tig." This is the game in which the one touched has in turn to touch another, and so on. No one can watch lambs in a hilly field for any length of time without concluding that they are playing a game. One takes its stand on a hillock and the others charge for it and take possession. They keep this up in turns for hours. It is a sort of "King of the Castle" game. Most young animals are fond of playing tug of war. A litter of puppies will play it for hours with a length of rope or an old duster. Otters play at shooting the chute. They have a sort of toobogan slide on the bank of a stream and play follow-my-leader round and round, climbing the bank in rotation and sliding back into the water. But It Staved in Family A story is current describing the only sale of real estate John Jacob Astor is thought to have made. He had just watched the completion of his Astor house, about 1830. Next day, he brought his eldest son William down to see it. "Father, that's a fine building," said William. "I wish it was mine." "So," smiled the father. "Well, give me a dollar and you can have it." According to the story, the dollar was produced, and the two repaired to a lawyer's to prepare the deed. Training Teachers The first genuine effort for the professional training of teachers undertaken in the world was undoubtedly by Jean Baptiste de la Salle at Helms in 1851. At the beginning of the Nineteenth century the development of institutions to train teachers took on a new life and the Prussian system of normal schools was firmly established. Six normal schools had been organized in that country. It was about this time that the subject of preparing teachers for public schools began to receive attention in America. Blindness No Handicap In spite of total blindness caused by a gun accident, Henry Fawcett rose to high positions in British public life. He was born in Salsbury in 1833. At the age of thirty-two he entered the house of commons where his ability and devotion to worthy causes soon made him a prominent and influential member. In 1880 he became postmaster general in the government of Mr. Gladstone, and during his term of office he brought about many improvements in the postal service. He died in 1884. Too Much Politeness Men are very generally spolied by being so civil and well disposed. You can have no profitable conversation with them—they are so conciliatory; determined to agree with you. They exhibit such long suffering and kindness in a short interview. I would meet with some provoking strangeness; so that we may be guest and host and refresh one another. It is possible for a man wholly to disappear, and be merged in his manners.—Thoreau. Thackeray's Satire "Yellow Plush Papers" were written in 1837 by William Makepeace Thackeray, the well-known English novelist, and contemporary of Charles Dickens. The papers form a playful satire on flunkeyism, whether it be the flunkeyism of the wealthy or that of the servants. The papers first appeared in a magazine, but in 1841 they were published in book form under the title of "Comic Tales and Sketches." One Chance All That Time Accords to Man How often you hear dad, or some other grownup speak, with a sort of half-sigh in his voice, of what he would do if he were young again. Time goes quickly when you are young, and you are only too likely to put off things you really should do. Grownups look back to the golden days of their youth as the happiest time of their lives, but there is also something of regret in their backward glance. There are so many things they would like to have done, but didn't. Unfortunately, time gives us just one chance. Let's plan things now, then, so as to have as few regrets as possible when we look back from a grownup pointpoint. Let's get lots of exercise, so that the grownup person we're going to be not so many years from now may be fit and strong. Let's not get into little habits of shiftlessness that will handicap the future. Instead, let us all work hard and play hard, so that when the person we're going to be looks backward, he'll find his youth an encouragement, and not a matter for regret.—Exchange. Impress of Old Spain Let in South America While Cartagena, Colombia, is a most engrossing architectural ruin, a legacy of the old Spanish conquistadores, and a fine example of an ancient Spanish town, passengers enroute to the west coast of the United States find that it is also energetically modern. The Spanifards, when they embarked on their expeditions to the interior of Colombia, had as a a road behind their efforts, the Indian story of a marvelous golden man, El Dorado, and saw him in their dreams as they hacked their way through the almost impassable jungles. Although the Spanifards never located their golden quarry and returned to the coast to found cities, they did succeed in wresting from the bosoms of the hills a vast amount of golden metal which gave to the country the name of the man they had been seeking, El Dorado. And in the cities they founded they left an indelible impress of old Spain. Old Songs Seem Crude The nearer we get to songs in the making the cruder they are. Very often they are not only incongruous but seem humorous, when they were not intended to be so. Sometimes they seem callous, treating of death with what appears to be an utter disregard of fitting solemnity or tenderness. In most cases this is quite unintended. The humble author intending to express the proper sentiment uses materials with which he is familiar, often parts of several other songs. Or he wishes to use a certain refrain and this refrain carries over into his mind certain associations. What he does he does in good faith, and if his product is not up to our standards it is not because of intent but because of the crudeness of his attempt.—R. W. Gordon, in Adventure Magazine. Disasters Caused by Wind The wind caused a serious railroad accident in the eastern part of the United States last year when it blew sand over the track. Two years ago the wind blew an Austrian train off the track. March winds in British India in 1924 blew over five cars of a train as it was crossing a bridge and two of them pitched into the water. About 50 passengers were killed. One morning a train from Derry to Burtonport, Ireland, was caught in a gale that uncoupled the car next to the engine and rolled it down an embankment. Their Answer In an intelligence test, which some school teacher took recently, this sentence was given: "That the moon is made of green cheese is—" The blank was to be filled in with the most fitting of a list of words. "Improbable," "unlikely," "absurd." When the papers were looked over there was much hilarity to discover that the teacher of astronomy had filled in the blank with the word "improbable," instead of "absurd," which was of course the most appropriate word.—Springfield Union. Why the Choir Sang The choir was peeved at the minister and to get even with him all agreed they would not join in singing the hymns at the morning service. But some loyal soul told the preacher about the plot. "We will now sing that grand old hymn, 'We're Marchin to Zion,'" the preacher announced, "omitting the first verse." The second verse begins, "Let those refuse to sing who never knew our God." The whole choir sang. Lesson in Famous Painting Briefly, the explanation of the famous painting called "The Huguenot" is as follows: By order of the Duc de Guise, issued before St. Bartolomew's day, "all good Catholics" were enjoined to wear a white scarf as a distinguishing badge. The young woman pleads with her lover as she strives to fasten the symbolic white scarf. The lover will die in the morning. As one writer suggests, the picture is reminiscent of the famous line, "I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more."
