The St. Paul Echo Minn Historical Society Minn Historical Bldg St Paul Minn VOL. 2, NO. 32 PLAN SUGGESTED FOR DEVELOPING SUMMER CAMP Cyrus L. Lewis Announces Plan for Developing Summer Camp at Minesure. Endorsed by Men's Club Meeting Held in Conjunction With Men's Club at St. James Church. Postponing their previously chosen subject, "Leadership," for discussion at the meeting of the Men's club of St. James A. M. E. church, Monday night, June 6, 1927, acting chairman, Paul L. Caldwell, introduced Cyrus L. Lewis of the St. Pau Echo, who announced the proposed plan to develop a summer camp at Minesure-on-Lake St. Croix. Minesure-on-Lake St. Croix is 21 miles from St. Paul, is on a railroad line and can be easily reached over good auto roads. Echo Head Talks. Mr. Lewis, representing the purchasers of Minesure-on-Lake St. Croix, stated that they had decided to allot a section of the grounds at Minesure for the purpose of developing a summer camp free to the Negro public. He said there was approximately 14 acres on which a club house and other facilities necessary for recreational purposes could be placed. It was pointed out that in order to establish this camp it would require the co-operation of all interested organizations. One suggestion was made on a plan for operation and financing this project. After Mr. Lewis made it known that it was ideas from the public that was wanted on this project which would assist them in setting some definite plan to pursue, Mr. Caldwell called on those present to speak on the subject. Rev. Griffin and Others Talk. Rev. Griffin and Others Talk. Rev. Wm. H. Griffin favorably commented on the idea of a summer camp and also made a short but very impressive talk on the St. Paul Echo, and the need of a local newspaper, especially one that fostered a constructive move that would benefit the Negroes' welfare. O. C. Hall gave figures and facts on summer camps and summer resorts in Minnesota that were owned and operated by whites and asked why not have a summer camp of our own. Mr. R. N. Travis, one of our prominent business men, made the suggestion that the plan for establishing the camp be outlined and carried to each organization for their approval. He also stated that we as a race ought to have some such place as this close to the Twin Cities, and told of the beauty surrounding the St. Croix and the fish that could be caught and the hunting. Others speaking in favor of the proposed idea were, Mr. J. R. Lynn, Supt. of St. James A. M. E. Sunday School; Paul L. Caldwell, Rev. T. J. Carr of St. Paul Baptist church, Richard L. Stokes. After several others spoke, the organization voted to appoint a committee to act on the plan that would be offered for establishing this summer camp. With the conclusion of the club's business a luncheon was served. REV. GAMBLES VISITS Rev. J. S. Gambles of Birmingham, Ala., is a visitor in the Twin Cities. He is the house guest of Mrs. Nannie B.

Crowd Rushes. The crowding and rushing by the enthusiastic spectators made Miss Alix's execution of her acting very difficult. Several times she was heard calling out to the people to please step back. All during the evening, "That Man Smith," the artistic photographer, played his Hollywood spotlight from on the dancers in different sections of the hall. Among those to be seen in the line of this penetrating light were Andy Claudin, Miss Randall, Joe Miller, the Messrs. Albert Bell, ST.

The unfurling of the banner of the Plan of Industrial Relations of The Pullman Company is shaping the minds of their employees for the expression of a verdict of paramount importance. Every individual porter by his vote helps to determine what shall be the concrete expression of the entire Group, and I know of no corporation that gives more time, patience, money and experience to give justice in judgment when an employee is accused of an infraction of rules or misdemeanor of any nature, when it is properly brought before the Plan composed of authorized representatives from both sides, co-equal in number. This spirit on their part shows evidence of their kind feeling in the face of your stubborn resistance against your best interests. We call upon you as intelligent workers, to put your faculties in action for right reasoning and to acknowledge the good you have derived at the hands of your friends for fifty years have made place for you to contribute service to society on their cars constructed for this purpose, and they desire all employees to loyalty unite in the furtherance of these principles adopted for the good of all, community interest being the one sentiment, for we all have a common path to tread. The issues herein referred to require the body united to get the best results and we call upon all to join us in combating the forces opposed to this Plan until it has been given a fair trial, and with this done, we will have succeeded in ridding ourselves of those who debase its processes and corrupt its functions. For the benefit of those who do not interest themselves in the Industrial Plan or cannot conceive the benefits they derive therefrom, with pleasure ESSEX COACH TO BE GIVEN AWAY WILL BE ON COLISEUM BALL ROOM Sidney Williams, Local Pianist, Made Gennett's New Recording Artist A. E.

This new machine is the latest achievement in recording apparatus of the Gennett Recording Co., and was placed at the Lowry Hotel for the purpose of recording local talent. Those chosen to record for Gennett will enjoy a national sale on their record. Mr. Williams will also appear on program at Coliseum Ball room, given by the St. Paul Echo, Monday night, June 13. ONE YEAR AGO THIS WEEK Mr. William B. Walker was reelected Exalted Ruler of Gopher Lodge No. 105, I. B. P. O. E. of W. Preparations were being made for an elaborate Style Review to be held at St. James A. M. E. church, under the auspices of the Young Matrons' Circle. William Pickens, field secretary of the N. A. A. C. P., addressed various Twin Cities groups. We would be pleased to have a small amount on your subscription. I herein give you a little data on collective bargaining which means that the employees of this or any other industry, through representatives of their own choosing, shall deal with the employer or employee in the making of wage scales and working conditions. Collective bargaining is the only practical method for adjusting relations between the management and the workers in a business way, assuring a fair deal to both sides. Each individual joins with his fellow workmen to ask collectively for better wages and conditions of employment that he could not secure through his own efforts alone. Employers of say one or two thousand men have an unfair advantage if he deals with them as individuals. To make the employees equal in power and influence they must have and function some plan and through regularly chosen representatives meet the employers on a common footing. By conceding points on each side agreements can be finally reached that will maintain better relations and greater industrial peace. In no walk of life does the idea exist that a man must arbitrarily accept any offer that may be made by another. There are two sides always to an agreement. Each side ought to have equal chances to propose and insist upon what it considers a fair agreement. Industrial peace can be secured only by the righting of wrongs suffered by employee or employer; if an individual or body of workers has a grievance it can be adjusted only through conferences with the employer or his representatives as all cannot meet the employer at one time. It is necessary for them to select representatives to carry out their will as expressed, collectively. NEW firms are advertising in the Echo. Have you thought about reaching out for new business?

Lindberg has become a by-word to the majority of peoples everywhere, we now turn to the Negro to ask what it means to him. Lindberg flew across the Atlantic alone, Chamberlain soon followed, accompanied by Levine; both feats were wonderful accomplishments for the advancement of the science. In view of the fact that the aero- plane industry is yet in its infancy, these men can be truly said to be pioneers in long distance flying. When commercial aviation gets on a paying basis generally, and long distance flying becomes a mere matter of fact, such dare-devils as these men will really be in on “the ground floor.” We long to see the day come when Negroes will not hesitate to pioneer in any worthwhile cause. We regret very much to say that up to the present time we have very few pioneers in our ranks; it seems to be one of the short comings of us as a people to be void of the pioneer spirit. If we were willing to take more of the hardships of the pio- neer days in many ways we would be farther advanced econom- ically and otherwise. A. Phillup Randolph in bearing the hard- ships along with his co-workers while they pioneer in the field of the Negro labor movement is preparing the way for future gen- erations of Negroes to be rewarded for the saerfiees being made foday. If Negroes would take over a new addition to any city, move into it in the early part of its development, sacrifice the comforts of other sections of the city, then later bring in the sewer, gas, pavements, trees for the boulevards, and finally add ornamental lights to their streets, not only would they reap the benefits of their labor, but their children would be rewarded for the pioneer work of the fathers. The same situation holds good for the pioneer work in the rurals. The farmer who buys land at five dollars per acre and spends twenty-five per acre to clear it, not only has a superior farm, but will in the future be rewarded by seventy-five dollars or more per acre for his five dollar lands. Such is the reward of those possessed with the pioneer spirit. When we co-operate and pioneer in the development of our own institutions for pleasure, we will have less trouble in partak- ing of pleasure institutions owned and developed by others. ‘There is a reason for that fact; you will find said reason in your Bible. Itreads: “To him that hath shall be given.” The way to remove this Jim-Crow stuff from business places, residential districts and summer resorts is to build your own and make them second to none. THE CHALLENGE OF YOUTH TO THE CHURCH The people who have lived in a community for years, who know its strong points and its weaknesses, are the only people who can be its wise leaders, and are responsible for its moral atmo- sphere before God. No matter how the tone of a community may lower, good people by organized strength may lift it if they care. As a race, Do We Care? The reason why many of our really in- telligent people do not line up with race organizations is because we act as though we did not care. Sixty years ago we were slaves and seen much of slave herit- age and error as Christian, when it is not, it is Cowardice. Christ said Watch ; we have not been watching. ‘He said Fight and we do not fight sin, and He ended by saying Pray. As Negroes we func- tion only on number three. We have the other two to learn and it were time we were busy. We have spent too much time resolut- ing; the hour has come to Do. The sum total of past race conventions and conferences have been to meet and vociferously denounce, then to pass high sound- ing resolutions, perhaps to make a petition and then to go home having done Nothing. Constructive brain in the race because of this has turned itself to materialism. Let us pick up neglected duties and they will come back and lielp to constructively build a better America. Another large wing of the race has turned race meetings into virtual banquets and pleasure orgies. Because we have neglected these higher moral duties, we have a younger generation who have as Dean Kelly Miller says, just brushed along the edge of science and possessing that little learn- ing “that is a dangerous thing” are now entertaining the race with lines of articles proving (?) Christianity to be a menace—proving it to their own satisfaction and the utter destruction of their soul and future promise of worth to the race and nation. Let us examine the grounds for their arguments. These say that the older generation are Christians because they are ignorant and Cowards. They are right in this that we remain ignorant in Defense of the Holy Scriptures and our faith. The Holy Fathers who battled with and overcame Pagan Superstititions were men who did so by their learning—Godly Learning by which they put to shame the arguments of the pagan priests. Today when athe- ism with the arguments of superficial science would hurl down the teachings of our Lord we are without answer because we have not informed ourselves. Were we really educated we would know and show the world, that all the true scientists of the ages, were men with Deepest reverence for the Christian religion. We would know that the facts of True science do not destroy the authority of the Script- ures but rather back them. We are Ignorant and do not defend the Cross of Christ. Religion has become a vast rocking chair in which we have gone to sleep. God to feed us, to fight all the battles and as they are not being fought, we as'a church are in contempt with the world. These half informed folk, whom we failed to correctly in- struet, profess that there is no religion. Real intelligence would have taught them that every man from the beginning of the world has had a Religion. For what a man believes in his heart is his religion, his God, even if it be in error and trash. No man can get away from intuitive beliefs and these are his religion. To cast them away is to cast away man’s only anchor, to become insane or utterly miserable. UNIVERSAL PRESS. Our race is not hunting pity; we want justice. Exact justice is more merciful in the long run than pity, for it tends to foster in men those stronger qualities which make them good citizens. — E. W. D. Isaac.

PAGE TWO THE REWARD OF PIONEERS Crude Water Heaters Used by Old Romans Even so generally used and useful a thing as hot water in generous quan- titles ts a development of very mod- ern times. For thousands of years primitive, laborious methods were the only means for having hot water. This condition was but little impreved up to {ess than a generation ago. ‘The first water heater known dates back some 2,000 years. This was the “ahenum” of the Romans, a crude bronze kettle with a handle for swing- Ing over an open fire. ‘The “focolus,” an apparently later device, was a ‘metal container into which hot stones were put to heat the water surround: Ing them. ‘This seems to have been the best water heater the early Romans were able to devise. ~ During the Elizabethan age in Eng- land the people were notoriously un: washed. Perhaps tt was because the teakettle was thelr only source of hot water supply. In 1809, when gas for fuel and light became @ public utility, the desire and need for hot water be came easier to fill. With the develop- ment of the gas stove, hot water began to flow more treely. East Credited With Idea of Gunpowder Gunpowder was niade in the Middle ages much as it Is now, except that the processes were not s0 refined, and the product eruder and weaker. Gun: powder ts a mixture consisting of potassium nitrate, sulphur and char coal. The origin of it {s involved tp considerable uncertainty, but tt is be Weved to have been discovered in the ancient East. As far as Europe {s concerned, Roger Bacon, the Thirteenth-century alchemist and philosopher, 1s some: times spoken of as its Inventor. At any rate he set down the formula in this fashion in 1270: “Mix together saltpetre with tura nop cum ubre and sulphur, and you will make thunder and lightning, if you know the mode of mixing.” ‘The four seemingly meaningless words in the middle are simply a transposition of the letters of carvonum pulvere or charcoal, ‘Morocco a Safe Country ‘The days of rougling it, exploration, freedom of action, are gone—as far as Moroceo 1s concerned. Fifteen years ago a man could take a pack outfit and a buneh of natives and go wher- ever fancy led. No more; the French and Spanish are in control, says Ad: venture Magazine, Morocco is not, nor ever has been, dangerous to a foreigner who attends to his own business and doesn’t aet like a fool toward the natives. One can't insult a man in America with- out taking a chance of getting licked or killed for it. ‘The same applies in Morocco and everywhere else. ‘There has never been an “open season” on foreigners. All that wild news of the last 20 years has been European propadarida intended to warrant for elga control of the country. Only a Dream Hubby listened intently. His wife and her mother were talking. ‘The latter was saying: “You have indeed secured a splen- did busband, and I think you ought to treat him with a little more tact and consideration. Don't always want to know where he is going, and if he ‘comes home a little late be agreeable and wait until he explains before you begin aking a lot of awkward ques- tions. He's Just the sort to appreci- ate any generosity on your part. Be kind to him.” Hubby stirred uneasily, trying to hear more, when—he awoke. Boo! She had been turning over every article the weary salesman bad placed before her on the counter, but noth: ing seemed to be exactly the thing she wanted. “1 am afraid there's nothing here to suit,” she decided at last, and then, In a burst of confidence, whispered: “You see, tomorrow {s my husband's birthday and I wanted to surprise him." ‘The weary man behind the counter gave her a scathing look. “Well,” he suggested in Icy tones, “why not bide behind the armchair and yell ‘Boo! at him?” Blissful Beginning Owing to the absence through Ill. ness of the woman who taught the senior girls’ Bible class, the young as- sistant minister was asked to under take the duties for the day.

At the age of forty he began to get the “vi- sions” which gave him the precepts for the Koran and commanded him to preach them to the world. “There ts only one God, and Mahomet ts bis prophet” Is the keynote he gave to the religion he founded—a religion whose adherents today number more than 220,000,000, ST. PAUL ECHO ei Solved the Mystery of “Bleeding” Pillar ‘The following incident js quoted from the report of the Union ‘Kanarese seminary in Tumkur, South India: “In ‘a village five miles away there stands before the temple a tall, slender pillar, down the side of which for some little distance rain has left a course of red rust. The people declare that perl- odically the pillar bleeds, and there, sure enough, ts the thin red line. In some quarters, a few months ago, the fear grew lest the appearance of the blood go the pillar should be a portent of disaster to the state. The six senior students went out to investigate this phenomenon, With great tact they won the confidence of the leading folk of the village so far as to induce them to have a ladder brought aud set up against the pillar from the root of the temple. One of the students mounted the ladder, a somewhat risky proceed- ing, and climbing to the top of the pillar proved to the people beyond con- troversy that the bleeding was due to an fron spike in a cup at the top of the shaft, When a safe descent had been effected, the men improved the eceasion in ‘apostolic fashion and preached Christ to the crowd that had gathered,” Proper Glasses Only Cure for Astigmatism We might roughly compare our eyes to the lens of a camera, insomuch as their business is to take the rays of light and focus them properly on our sereen of sight. ‘Now, if the lens ts not perfectly true —if, say, {t Is shaped more like the back of ‘a spoon than like a perfect globe—we shall not get an equal vi sion. And if one draws two lines cross: Ing at right angles, the person with a spoon-shaped eye will not be able to see the up-and-down line and the side ways line equally clearly. ‘That is what we call an astigmatte eye, the word really meaning that there is no one particular point of clear and equal focus. In most cases glasses will be needed to correct the fault. Oriental Tales Every ancient nation has had Its myths and epics of heroes bold. The East has given us many such tales from {ts imaginative writers. The greatest known collection of these mythical stories is the “Arablan Nights.” Of similar character, but less fascinating, {s the “Epic of Kings” from the writings of the Persian poet Firdusi, who, at the command of his sovereign, rendered stories of the deeds of Persian kings into verse. There are stories of shahs, beasts, dragons, noble, warriors, and kings who reigned d'thousand years. The style of the translation ts poetical and also biblical; in fact, for narratives of this type, somewhat ponderous and tedious. ‘The stories are hidden be- neath a burden of language. However, the matter is delightful and the il- lustrations, which were furnished by Wilfred Jones, are truly Oriental in brilliance and form. Infants Fond of Music ‘Some infants may show a preference for different kinds of music even be fore they are a year old, in the opin- fon of a mother who has found that the time to teach children appreciation ‘of good music {s when they are very young, says Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. Instead of singing her babies to sleep, she plays to them and bas discovered that pieces of different rhythm and tempo seem to have dif- ferent effects, One child apparently Preferred music of rapid movement, while another evidenced a liking for slower melodies. Five or ten minutes of soft playing usually sufficed to lull the children to sleep and often their crying could be stopped by playing for them. Too Much to Expect Angrily the policeman on point duty stopped the little car that had tried to sneak past his outstretched arm. “Can't you see me?” he demanded of the driver. “T—er—must confess 1 did,” re- turned the motorist meekly. “Then why didn't you stop?” asked the policeman, becoming more angry than ever. “Well, I lost my head,” explained the wrongdoer sadly. “I had just spent half an hour in getting this thing to start, and I thought It was a pity to ‘stop her so soon.” Parting of the Ways Reggie had been very rude to his father and had been sent to his bed. room as a punishment.

Some Long Trips ‘A motor car on a trip round the earth's equator would take about 17 days 8 hours, at a speed of 60 miles an hour. A little less than five years would cover the distance at the same speed round the sun. But to circle Antares, the largest known star, would take approximately 1,870 years, for the diameter of Antares {s estimated at more than 273,000,000 miles, which is more than 300 times that of the sun. ws ras fe Te contestant receiving Pay 25 Cents and Vote for Your Favorite receiving greatest num- or Nominate Your Favorite, : ber of votes on Each vote 25 cents; good for 1 month’s subscription to Echo.

Coinage When speaking of a coin, the side bearing the head is called the obverse side, and the other the reverse side.

Sure Proof to Father If there fs no royal road to learn- ng, there 1s at least a flowery path for the modern youngster, in the minds of an older generation’ which links inseparably a memory of enforced restraint with the three R's. A young couple was discussing the progress of their small son at one of the modern schools which leans toward self-ex- pression, individual freedom and other advanced theories, “Well, I can’t believe he's learning much,” sald the father meditatively. “He likes his school too well.” Snakes Sing in Australia Singing snakes are among the un- usual inhabitants of Australia, accord- Ing to a correspondent of the Sydney Bulletin, “The other day during a heat wave at Goulburn I was outside my house and heard a peculiar nolse— between a bird song and a whistle,” he said. “Thinking it came from some strange bird, I went to Investigate and found a brown snake coiled, with its head about a foot in the air, sing- Ing away as if it were enjoying the heat.

An example of ‘the dilemma to which their reasoning led them is displayed in the following argument between Aristotle and Prota- goras, says the Market for Exchange. ‘The latter claimed that all Is illusion and that there is no such thing as truth. Aristotle refuted him with the following dilemma: “Your proposition Is true or false; if it Is false, then you are answered; if true, then there is something true, and your proposition falls” Another famous problem of the Stoics ran thus: “When a man says ‘I Me? does he Me or does he not? If he lies he speaks the truth; if he ‘speaks the truth he lies.” Exhaustive works were written on this, Chrysip- pus favoring the world with six tomes in an attempt to solve it.

Mr. Bohanon spoke on "Keeping Fit" to the Christian Endeavor of St. Peters church last Sunday evening at 6:30 p. m. Modern Society Slow to Forgive Criminal Can a criminal come back to society? No. In all my experience I have never known a case of a thoroughly successful comeback, when a former criminal was allowed to take his place in society and be received into it. It is not so much the failure of Christianity as the fact that human nature and society have not reached the stage of enlightenment or willingness to accept the ex-criminal. Human nature and society, constituted as they are, are such as to prevent an absolute comeback, and this is more in evidence because of the fact that the modern teachers of Christianity have failed in their mission of forgiveness, and also because it is invariably found that those who profess deep faith and a Christ-like spirit are the first to shun and scorn the really conscientious unfortunate, or innocent victims of circumstances, who are genuinely desirous of completely blitting out their hideous past by sincere service in the cause of humanity at large. But everything is not lost. Many prison workers and deep students of criminology feel that a spirit of understanding will sooner or later overcome these obstacles in the way of the excriminal.—Theodore Dreiser in the Smoker's Companion. Impaired Vision No Strangely enough one of the world's great astronomers had such poor sight that he could not more than see the stars. He was John Kepler, a German, whose fame sprang from the discovery of these three astronomical laws: That all the planets travel around the sun in elliptical orbits, with the sun at one of the foci. That the radius sector joining each planet with the sun traverses equal areas of the plane of orbit in equal periods of time. That the square of the time of revolution of each planet around the sun is proportional to the cube of the mean distance from that lunary. To overcome the handicap of impaired vision, he obtained the services of Tycho Brahe, who was not a great reasoner, but an admirable observer. It was upon his perfect observations that Kepler, a master generalizer, reached his conclusions. His three laws are included in his book, "The New Astronomy," published in 1003 at Prague. He died 19 years later.—Kansas City Times. Talleyrand and Burr After James Buchanan gave up his post as minister to Russia in 1833 he made a brief sojourn at Paris before returning to America. In the French capital he was introduced to the famous Prince Talleyrand, then in his eighty-fourth year. The aged diplomat, after asking a number of questions about America, inquired particularly about the family of Alexander Hamilton. He told Buchanan that when he was French minister for foreign affairs Aaron Burr came to Paris and sent his card to him. He returned the card with a message that he had the portrait of Hamilton in his parlor. It will be recalled that when Talleyrand was an exile from France he came to America where he met Hamilton. At that time he came to the conclusion that Hamilton was the greatest of all the Americans he had the pleasure of meeting. Courtship of Spiders In the behaviors of courting spiders recognition and stimulation come into play in various degrees. The males, as in most animals great and small, despite Bernard Shaw, begin the cycle of events by an active search for the females. They recognize her finally by sight or smell or by a combination of these senses. The female recognizes them apparently by sight or by some tactile message, and when recognition has taken place, restrains her customary swift ferocity. According to the more recent authors, the antics and ornamentation are not an appeal to the esthetic sense of the females and do not, therefore, come into the theory of sexual selection. First Electric Lights Soon after the first electric light system was built in New York city in 1882, the idea of lighting by electricity became so popular that the shares of the Thomas A. Edison company, whose par value was $100 were quoted at $3,500. However, the new enterprise required a great deal of money. The cost of sinking cables underground along the streets was one of the heavy expenses. In those days many people insisted upon pole lines even though they did destroy the beauty of a street. Mr. Edison's pet remark to them was: "Why don't you lift water and gas pipes up on stilts too?" Albino Types An albino is defined as a person having a congenital deficiency of pigments of the skin, hair and eyes. Albinos occur among all races of men in extreme cases they have skin of a milky color, extremely light hair and eyes with a deep red pupil and pink or blue iris. The lack of dark pigment in the eyes admits light in excess sive amount, and through other parts beside the pupil, and their vision is consequently poor, especially in strong light. There might be an albino type in any kind of an animal. No One Immune From Pangs of "Mal-de-Mer" Doctors Cury and Bohec have an interesting article on seasickness in Esculape (a medical journal). Oddly enough, very few of the ancient writers seems to have concerned themselves with the affliction; neither Plato nor Aristotle makes any allusion to it. On the other hand, the ocean was considered a sovereign panacea for all sorts of ills. Plutarch, however, mentions seasickness, which he attributes to fear, and it is sufficiently evident that our remote forefathers were not immune. In this connection it may be recalled that, according to Seneca, Cicero, prince of orators, feeling the wrath of Antony and his wife, Flava, whom he had attacked in his "Philippics," took refuge on board a ship and decided, when the vessel had put to sea, that he would rather surrender to the executioner than endure the torments of seasickness. He was put ashore and assassinated near Formiae.—From Le Matin, Paris. (Translated for the Kansas City Star). Wished They Hadn't As she tripped blithely across the roadway the celebrated actress noticed an old friend, a playwright, who was heavily bandaged, coming toward her. "Good gracious!" she exclaimed. "My dear, have you been in an accident? Her friend regarded her a moment. "No," he answered; "but you remember that play of mine which came on the other night? The other nodded. "Well, they called for the author at the end and, unfortunately, I didn't realize how much they wanted him."

PAUL BCHO Odd Maze of Words Applied to Costume Near the close of the Eighteenth century, in France, some mysterious, semi-poetical name was bestowed on every kind of dress fabric, trimming and cut. The following description of the costume of a famous actress-courtesan is an example: "She was attired in a robe of stifed sighs, adorned with superfluous regrets, the point edged with perfect candoir, trimmed with indiscreet complaints. She wore ribbons of marked attentions, and shoes of the color of the queen's hair (Marie Antonette) embroidered with diamonds in treacherous stripes. Above her curls of elevated sentiments was a head-dress of certain conquest, trimmed with fickle feathers, while over her shoulders fell an Absalom tress of momentary agitation." All that reads like gibberish today yet it was perfectly understood by the great ladies of 1700.-Detroit News. Wanted All the Goodies Teddy was about to enter his tenth year. His mother told him he might invite his little friends to a birthday party, and she made the necessary preparations. On the important evening they were waiting for the guests. Suddenly the youngster said, "Mother, don't you think it's time to eat the ice cream and cake now?" "Certainly not, dear," she replied. "We must wait until your little friends are here." "Well. I'll tell you the truth, mother," Teddy began. "I just thought that for once in my life I'd like to have all the ice cream and cake I wanted, so I guess we'd better begin now, 'cause I didn't invite anybody."—Boston Transcript. ley Glee Club citizens of the ties to Minneapolis, Minn.
