Bulletin 129, entitled "Negroes in the United States," presenting statistics derived from the Thirteenth Census and from other statistical inquiries conducted by the Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce, has been issued and is now being distributed. The bulletin, which consists of 207 pages of text and tables, will be followed by a more complete and comprehensive report on the same subject. The Director of the Census in transmitting the report to the Secretary of Commerce states: "The object in view is to embody in a single publicat on the principal and most recent census statistics relative to the Negro, arranged and presented in such a way as to contribute as much information as possible regarding the status and progress of the Negro race in the United States. "A similar publication was issued in 1904 following the completion of the Twelfth Census, taken in 1900; and there has been a very general demand for a report covering the same field but based upon the more recent statist es of the Thirteenth Census. "The need for a monographic presentation arises rom the fact that the census statistics relating to the Negro must otherwise be sought for in many different volumes covering population, agriculture, mortality, and other general subjects. The result is that these statistics are not easily accessible to the general public until brought together in a single publication." The bulletin was prepared in the division of Revision and Results, Bureau of the Census, under the general super vision of Dr. Joseph A. Hill, expert special agent. The statistical tables were planned and arranged by three Negro employees of the bureau—Charles E. Hall, William Jennifer, and Robert A. Pelham, or under their direction by other Negro clerks. Mr. Hall's as signment covered population and occupation, Mr. Jenniffer's agriculture and religious statistics, and Mr. Pelham's mortality and ownership of homes statistics. As a government document the bulletin is for free distribution and can be obtained by application to the Director of the Census, Washington, D SAYS GOD 'LL BLESS PAGE Oklahoma City, 4-13-1915. To the Editor: Sir—Sometime ago I saw a statement in the Tulsa Star which seemed to have been made by some Christian hearted white gentleman, stating that he would be glad to build the Negro Orphans of this State an Orphan's home and indeed such a home is much needed to help the Negro orphans in the State of Oklahoma. I have been trying to operate an institution of that kind for the last three years, and I am having a struggle, and I know God will bless the gentleman and better Negroes of the State will appreciate kindness. Please hand this letter to the above mentioned gentleman or please give me his name and address. Please oblige S. T. STANLEY.

One of the curiosities of African trade is the ivory of the hippopotamus. The animal's teeth are of a greater hardness than those of the elephant, and for a long time were employed in the manufacture of false teeth, which were skillfully carved from that material. In his "African Travels," Le Vaillant quaintly remarked, more than a century ago: "It is not surprising that Europeans especially Frenchmen, should make an article of commerce out of the teeth of the hippopotamus, for with the help of science they are made to replace our own, and we may see them flashing delightfully in the mouth of a pretty woman." Science has, however, found a better substitute in this relation, and the trade in popopotamus teeth for this purpose has fallen off. The making of "sjamboks," or whips, from the hide is still a flourishing industry, and during the Boer war an enterprising genius sold many strips of the thick hide at a shilling apiece to a trainload of Canadian recruits by calling the stuff "biltong," or sun-dried beef. The teeth of the walrus more nearly resemble elephant ivory and are in good demand in Japan for small carvings, and fossil ivory has long been used in China. ELECTRICITY IN THE HOME Display of Light Easily Made With Equipments That Are Always at Command. The ordinary person either does not understand or is afraid of electricity, and could scarcely be persuaded to manufacture it himself, and yet, after all, a little electrical experiment at home is both amusing and instructive. All that you have to do is to take a glass, expose it to the fire so that it shall be perfectly dry, and place it upside down upon the table. Afterward take a tray, also perfectly dry, and place it upon the glass in such a way that it shall preserve its equilibrium. Finally, take a sheet of paper slightly smaller than the tray, heat it, and rub it rapidly TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, APRIL 17, 1915 HESITATES ABOUT JOINING THE ARMY A German infantryman having a hard time to persuade this donkey to join the German army. The Germans in Poland have requisitioned practically all beasts of burden. with a brush, and it will become quickly electrified. Then place it upon the tray. An electrical machine will thus have been constructed without any expense. If the finger be brought near the tray a spark will appear. This spark will be so much the brighter and the series of sparks will be so much the longer in proportion as the glass and tray are drier. If when the sparks are being drawn from the tray the room in which the experiment is performed be darkened these sparks will appear extremely brilliant. ACTIVITIES OF WOMEN Owing to the scarcity of men, London street railway companies are considering employing women as car conductors. For the first time in the history of Vassar college the ban will be lifted on male visitors on Sunday. The University of Washington has a fat girls' sorority in which girls must weigh 140 pounds to be eligible to join. Leaders of women's organizations throughout the world will shortly call an international women's congress to meet in a neutral country for the purpose of discussing just what role women should assume in preventing future wars.

Story Told by Writer in The Public Whether the Real Thing or Not, May Possibly illustrate a About two months ago I happened to sit down beside a pleasant-faced old fellow in the smoking car of a train pulling out of Philadelphia. I wanted to smoke, and on discovering that I had no matches, I turned to my seat mate and asked if he could spare me one "Certainly," said he, "that is one thing I can get all I want for nothing." Seeing that he was inclined to talk I humored him by asking: "How's that?" "Why, you see," he replied, "I work for the city, in the fire department and we can get all we want of anything like that. Just turn in a requisition for them and along they come. But there is one thing we can't get all we want of, though." "What's that?" "Brooms. We can't get a broom. We can requisition as much as we like, but we can't secure a single broom." "How's that?" "Don't know, but we can't get one." "How do you keep the place clean, then? I always thought they were very particular in the fire department to have everything spiked and span." "That's it," said he, nudging me in the ribs, "that's it! How do we keep it clean? Must be clean for inspection. Know what we do? I'll tell you! We use blankets. Yes, we take blankets, tear 'em up into strips and make mops out of 'em and keep the place as neat as you please! You see we can get all the blankets we want, but we can't get a broom. So we take turns requisitioning blankets." "But the blankets must cost a lot more than brooms would." "Sure. Blankets must stand the city at least a dollar and a quarter each, while the best brooms bought in large quantities would not cost over twenty-five cents a piece. And one broom would last longer than half a dozen blankets. But we can't help it. Must keep the fire house clean for inspection or would all get fired. No matter how often we requisition brooms there isn't one forthcoming, while we can get all the blankets we want, and no questions asked." "Seems funny. How is it, do you suppose?" "Only reason I can give is that the new administration is short of funds. Possibly somebody in a former administration got some graft for laying in a large stock of blankets and got no brooms. But it costs somebody something in the long run. Fierce, isn't it?"—W. P. Jr. in The Public. Golf on a Battlefield Golfers of the Mexico Country club at Mexico City who were recently barred from their games for two weeks because the Carranza and Zapata forces were using the links for a battleground, had an unusual experience when, on the day after the retreat of the soldiers they resumed play. Notwithstanding that the links had been torn up by shells, all went well with the game until the drive-off from the seventh tee had been followed up to the green. It was then that the man who had the best lie waved to his companions excitedly to hurry on up. They thought that he had holed out with his midiron, but found that his discomposure was caused by the fact that he could not use his putter. Between his ball and the cup lay the body of a revolutionist, who had been killed in an exchange of shots the day before. Independence Kan. Organize League (Special to The Tulsa Star). Independence, Kas., April 14.—The Colored business men of Independence met here Monday night and organized a local league which promises to be a real live bunch. Much interest and enthusiasm was shown by those present and after opening speeches and nominations the following officers were elected: Rev. B. M. Stradford, president. Rev. C. Teal, vice-president. H. H. Hollowell, recording sec. Dr. D. H. Davis, auditor and Rev. G. W. Pettigrew, Chaplain. The rally at the St. John Baptist church here last Sunday raised $25.41. Rev.

The Frisco station is located between Main and Cincinnati, and First and Archer streets. It is built of red brick, an dof stone, one and one-half staries in height and has a red tile roof. The side that faces Baston avenue has a portico where people may alight from carriages and automobiles so as to enter the waiting room. The side that faces the tracks has a small stand built into the station, where one may buy fruits, candies and cigars. Besides the two waiting rooms, one for whites and one for Colored, the station has a baggage and an express room. One day about train time I was at the station and I saw an old Colored lady with a great number of bundles and also several small children. From all appearances they were from the country and were not accustomed to the ways of the city. These children wanted to buy everything they saw, such as oranges and bananas. Every time they heard an engine whistle or the engine beel ring they would say, "come on, grandma, here comes the train," and they would grab their bundles and rush out only to find the train was not there but a switch-engine instead. Finally when the train did arrive they ran out on the walk with their bundles and tried to board the train before the other people alighted from it. Being afraid that she would lose track of the children and the train would leave them, the old lady cried out, "come on byeah Maria, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and you too, young woman," speaking to a girl about seven or eight years old. At last they boarded the trian, but not without creating laughter from the people near by and seated themselves in comfortable seats. They soon forgot about their previous anxiety and were happy and laughing boisterously being glad of the fact that they were returning home when the train left the station. Social Equality Stop Dances in Chicago Segregation of Races Brings a Protest and Mrs. Young Abolishes Dances. Chicago, April 13—Social dances in Chicago's public schools are prohibited in a ruling yesterday by Mrs. Ella Flagg Young, superintendent of public schools, because of a protest against segregating white and negro pupils. Instead of dancing the social afternoons will be devoted to lectures, debates and picture studies. The Negroes will be accorded the same privileges as the whites. A. M. E.

Picturesque Adornments for the Neck Are All the Rage in Paris Just Now Parisiennes seem to have gone crazy over smart collars. No dress is considered complete without the addition of an elaborate collar of curious design. And of course the same holds true of blouses and shirt waists, writes Idalia de Villiers in the Boston Globe. I have sketched this week a collar of this order. Here you have a picturesque arrangement in white muslin, which has been carefully stiffened with starch. There are no artificial supports in this collar. It remains in correct position if properly dealt with by the laudress. This style of collar is specially suitable for morning shirt waists, and it would give good results if combined with mauve or pale blue muslin. Mime. Cheruit has this season introduced a novel and effective combination of unexpected materials, silk voile and white linen. A home dress recently created by this admirable artist was made of Bordeaux-red silk voile ceinture and a square collar of sailor outline. An unexpected touch of black was introduced on the smart little waistcoat and there were ball buttons made of old-rose quartz, the shoe buckles being made to match. The dull rose quartz buttons looked charming on the deep red voile and then the pure white collar and ceinture supplied a touch of studied simplicity which was full of charm.

Indeed, I am of the opinion that dress linen is going to play an important role in the world of fashion this summer, in vivid colors as well as in white. A new and very practical dress trimming consists of a culture, collar, etc., made of printed silk, which has been carefully outlined with fine gold threads and partly filled in with very tiny porcelain beads. This style of embroidery is very easily achieved at home by clever fingers, and the loveliest things can be made of it. Now that sleeveless boiler jackets are again fashionable such embroidery might be used to compose one of these little garments, the blouse and sleeves being of the most prominent color in the printed silk. Fine gold and silver threads are being introduced on brocaded and printed silks by our leading dressmakers and I throw out the hint that lovely things may be done at home, at small cost.

A large percentage of mothers all over the land have the ever-present lunch-box problem to solve each day. Some- where an ingenious mother who had four other friends, each with a child to send with a lunch basket, proposed that once a week each prepare a basket lunch for the five, lunch-box problem to solve each day. Somewhere an ingenious mother who had four other friends, each with a child to send with a lunch basket, proposed that once a week each prepare a basket lunch for the five, in this way saving the daily task for each. The mothers could do with pleasure once a week what was such a bugbear in its frequency. The mother knows that her child's mentality as well as his physical power depends upon his food largely and the growing child should have nourishing, plain, wholesome and easily digested food. The child naturally craves sweets and they should be given in moderate amount, as they are necessary to furnish fuel. Sweets should be given at the close of the meal so that they may not clog the taste for the substantial things as they do if given before or at the beginning of a meal. Another important point to remember with children is that their digestive processes are much more rapid than with adults, and they need a good, substantial lunch. Eggs cooked hard and well seasoned make a most satisfactory sandwich filling. Thin slices of meat between well-spread slices of bread. The sandwich is an important factor, and should have first place. Bottles now may be bought at a small price which will hold a hot drink or soup, cocoa and milk being the drinks best for the child. Fresh fruit, an apple or an orange, a cake of sweet chocolate or a few pieces of good candy make a well-enjoyed finish to a meal. The child loves a surprise, will eat with relish and digest a meal much better if it is something that comes as a surprise. Cup custards are most delicious desserts, rice with custard and raisins make another simple and tasty one. Reading is to the mind, what exercise is to the body.

Heat slowly and simmer until the liquor is rich. Pour this over a roasting capon or fowl and cook five minutes. Remove the fowl, bone it, chop fine and return to the pan. Add a pint of leeks, season and cook until the leeks are tender. Spanish Macaroni.—Fry onions in a bit of butter and olive oil until brown, add a tablespoonful of Worcestershire sauce and a teaspoonful of chili powder. Put a half cupful of macaroni into boiling water, salted, and cook until tender, about twenty-five minutes. Place the drained macaroni in a buttered baking dish and pour the onions and half a can of tomatoes over it. Mix well and sprinkle with grated cheese. Bake a half hour in a moderate oven. English Stuffed Ham.—Select a fresh-cured ham and have the bone removed. Fill with a stuffing made of bread crumbs, parsley, green pepper, chopped, and seasonings of salt and pepper, with butter to make the right richness. Tie up securely and inclose the ham in a paste of flour and water to keep the juices from escaping. Tie in a cloth and put into a pot of boiling water and simmer gently for two or three hours, allowing twenty minutes for each pound weight. After the ham is cooked remove the crust, pare off the skin carefully, so as not to injure the shape of the ham, put into a roasting pan, sprinkle with crumbs, and roast, allowing six minutes to the pound. OF FASHION Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on Inter- National Fashions e Tulsa Star It can be cut out entirely in one piece, and that portion which forms the pocket for the cotton folded upwards and sewn down at the sides. The portion on which the scissors rest is stiffened with a piece of card sewed in between the cover and the lining. The pocket for the scissors is made of soft wash-leather, and into it the points of the scissors should fit fairly SHEARS tight. Bands of elastic are sewn on to the side flaps, under which packets of needles can be slipped in, in the manner shown. To close the case, the sides and lower flap are folded on to the center and then the upper flap folds downwards and is secured to the back of the lower flap with a snap fastener, and one can possibly be cut from an old glove and used for this purpose. The small sketch on the right shows the case closed and fastened up, and in this condition it should take up very little more space in a pocket and be very little larger than an ordinary letter case. SIMPLE. DAINTY PEN-WIPER Idea Is a New One, and the Article Will Look Well on Any Library Table. The charming and useful little pen-wiper shown in our sketch is simple to make and dainty and neat in appearance. It is circular in shape and measures $2\frac{1}{2}$ inches in diameter. The top of the pen-wiper is made of a piece of thick crimson cloth finished off at the edge with a buttonhole-stitching, worked in gold silk. The under part of the pen-wiper is made of a number of pieces of black cloth cut out in the same size and shape as the crimson cloth, and then cut into tiny points at the edges. These pieces of black cloth are placed under the crimson cloth and then four holes made through them with the point of a pair of scissors and the ends of two pieces of gold ribbon forced through the holes. Diagram A on the right of the sketch illustrates this, and diagram B shows the bottom of the pen-wiper after the ribbons have been run through it. The ends of the ribbons are folded over towards the center and stitched down so that they form four loops, and to hide the stitching a small pearl button is sewed on. The ribbons will, of course, hold all the pieces of cloth securely together, and they can be quickly renewed when they become faded or solled. This little pen-wiper is so simple to make that it should not be forgotten when work is being prepared for a bazaar, and when a number of them are being made they could be carried out in different colors.

Tuneta Afternoon down, Never Writhing Attractive Blouses Easy to Make 2/2 The very good-looking afternoon gown of taffeta shown here has several novel and original features to recommend it to those who are looking for something new in style. It is interesting from the facts that it is an American model, that it is easy to make, and that it is in line with the new models. The bodice is cut in three pieces and has long shoulders and a high neck. It fastens on a diagonal line running from the middle of the neck at the front to the left side of the belt. It is set into a narrow belt, (which is slightly wrinkled over a foundation) made of the taffeta. Small acorn shaped buttons made over molds are covered with the silk. A row of these, set close together, follows the line of the fastening, beginning at the swell of the bust and terminating at the belt. This row of buttons is balanced by a second row set at the right side of the waist. The skirt is plain, consisting of Attractive Blouse Blouses that will stand any amount of wear and are sheer and dainty looking, are made of voile. Others a little less durable but equally dainty, are made of sheer batiste. Two new voile blouses made up with strong venetian lace and further decorated with embroidery are shown here. Cluny laces and hand-crochet laces are even a little stronger than venetian, but rather less fashionable. The third blouse is of batiste decorated with very fine tucks and venetian lace. These blouses are machine made and all the seams are hemlitched by machinery. When the waists are to be home-made the seams may be managed by setting turned-under edges together with tiny beading or the narrowest laces, or with needlework. The first blouse in the picture is among the few designed this season with three-quarter sleeves. It is very plain, with "V" shaped neck finished with hemstitched hem. It fastens with small crochet buttons and is decorated with venetian insertion about an inch wide and small sprays of embroidery. The collar is a wide plain turnover across the back. One of the prettiest models is shown, made of voile, in the next picture. Its seams are hemstitched and the neck is "V" shaped, but supports a wide turnover collar of the voile. Lace insertion is let in both the back and front of the blouse, and the front is further decorated with small embroidered sprays. Crochet buttons and buttonholes manage the fastening. The sleeves are long and sraped into the wrists, where they are trimmed with a band of insertion. Ties of narrow black ribbon help support the collar, which must be three widths of taffeta gathered in at the belt and into a wide band at the bottom. This band is edged with a silk cord of the same color as the taffeta. The side seams of the bodice and skirt are outlined with the small silk-covered buttons extending from the arm's-eye to the border of the skirt. The sleeves are plain and long, finished with a narrow band of silk, piped with white. A similar band encircles the neck and supports a double frill of net. An odd and unexpected feature is introduced in the large white buttons with dark rims that are sewed to the front of the belt. They repeat the color of the dress with its pipings of white at neck and wristbands, and therefore seem to belong in the scheme. But they are not essential to the finish of the gown; they are used solely for the sake of the novelty they furnish. es Easy to Make wired if it is worn high. The waist of batiste is very simply made with groups of thin tucks at the back and each side of the front. The sleeves are full and set into straight deep cuffs that turn back and are edged with lace. The high collar is made in the same way. Lace edging is used for joining the yoke to the front of the blouse. In all these models the lower edge is hemmed and gathered on an elastic band. JULIA BOTTOMLEY. Don't Forget the Apron In replenishing your wardrobe don't forget to have at least one gown which can boast of an apron. For instance, on an afternoon gown of green soft taffeta attach a pointed apron of the material, and at the proper places have two little pockets. Have a two-inch-wide belt at the top of the apron—this is to serve as a girdle of the dress—and let it run off into space in the form of apron strings, which are to be tied in a pert bow. A very quaint dance frock is made of figured volle. Around the neck and the puffed sleeves are ruffles o' cream net. A filmy little apron of net and lace is tucked beneath the closely fitted basque, which extends in a point over the skirt. Collarless Blouses. Paris sanctions collarless daytime bodices; also makes an occasional model low and round or shallow and oval or shallow and pointed, and finished in very simple fashion with frill or ruche or flat collar or little inside fichu of net. And the small square is well liked, either with or without a standing collar at the back. Home Undertaking Co. No.2 Open Day and Night Remember us in your sorrow. H. W.

DEMOS ELECT 2 COMMISSIONERS Socialist Mayor Elected At Krebs.—Pete Duffy Still Mayor of El Reno.—Other City and Town Elections Over the State. Oklahoma City.—Ed. Overholser, republican, was elected mayor of Oklahoma City by a plurality of 327 over W. D. Gault, democrat, his nearest opponent. Dr. J. G. Street, democrat, won the commissionship of public property over H. G. Eastman, republican, by a vote of 3.912 to 3.391. Mike Donnelly, democrat, was elected commissioner of accounting and finance with a vote of 3.280. Bob Parman, republican, was second in the race with a vote of 3.560. The total vote cast for mayor was 7,070, according to complete unofficial returns from all precincts. Of this number J. B. Norton, independent candidate, was given 638, and M. R. Gallon, socialist, was given 581. In 1911 the vote for mayor was 8,260. The voting strength of the city, according to registration figures is 9,760. As a result of the election the new board of city commissioners will consist of three democrats and two republicans. J. T. Highley, democrat, will hold over as commissioner of public safety and Guy E. Blackwelder, republican, continues in office as commissioner of public works. Results of the mayor's race turned the tables between the Gault and Overholser families. In 1890 W. J. Gault, father of W. D. Gault, defeated Henry Overholser, father of Ed Overholser, for mayor and became the first regularly elected mayor of Oklahoma City. In the board of education elections six democrats were named and three republicans. One of the democrats, G. A. Morris of the fourth ward, had no republican opposition, while F. H. Dixon, republican from the country district, came through without opposition. Returns from municipalities holding elections in the state indicate that but little effort was made by the various political parties to draw party lines in the contests for the various offices. In many cities and towns the candidates ran as independents. In Krebs, J. A. Nixon, a socialist, was elected mayor; in Guthrie, two women were elected members of the school board, while at Chickshsha alone the vote was overwhelmingly democratic in each instance. Guthrie.—The city election resulted in W. M. Mitchell being elected commissioner of public safety; Fred Beck, school treasurer; Mrs. E. S. Lowther and Mrs. O. L. Brooks, members of the board of education. The charter amendment reducing the tenure of office for city officials from six to two years, carried by a large majority. Perry.—C. G. Vannest, republican, defeated Fred Kretch, democrat, for mayor by 71. Anadarko.—W. H. Castle, republican, elected mayor by 102. El Reno.—P. P. Duffy, mayor of El Reno, was re-elected, defeating T. F. Hensley, his nearest opponent by 279 votes. Chickasha.—O. Kauffman, democrat was elected mayor, defeating A. Haight, republican by 452 votes. All democrats were elected. Cushing.—Charles E. Droege was re-elected mayor of Cushing over three other candidates. Shawnee.—Frank Stearns, republican, was elected mayor of Shawnee defeating Harry C. Myers, democrat, by 110 votes. Enid.—J. R. Clover was elected mayor of Enid over J. L. Reger by a majority of sixty-six votes. Durant.—In one of the largest votes ever polled in a municipal election in Durant democrat candidates were elected as follows: James Yarbrough, mayor; Victor Phillips, city attorney; George Roberts, street commissioner; E. H. Stewart, city treasurer, B. M. Head, city clerk. Ardmore.—L. V. Mullen, democrat, was elected mayor or ardmore. Clinton.—C. E. Ganaway, democrat, elected mayor. Chicago.—William Hale Thompson was elected mayor of Chicago by an estimated plurality of 130,000. Returns from 1,400 precincts out of 1,566 indicated that he had carried the entire republican city ticket to victory. The city council probably went republican, which would be the first time in years. The socialists vote apparently did not exceed twenty thousand. The prohibition party candidate, John Hill, ran far behind the socialist candidate. Over the State. Chicago. INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON (Er E. O. SELLIERS, Acting Director of Sunday School Course, The Moody Bible Institute, Chicago, Ill.) LESSON FOR APRIL 18 THE SHEPHERD'S PSALM. LESSON TEXT—Psalm 23. GOLDEN TEXT—The Lord is my Shepherd. -Ps. 23:1. This is the most famous of the shepherd king's writings. Probably written in his later life, he borrows his figure from the experience of his youth. The relation of the lamb to David is a type to him of his relations to God. Israel's greatest poet had ample time for meditation in the days of his youth as he followed the occupation of shepherd. His playing on the harp is famous and he made the first official use of music in the worship of Jehovah (see I Chron. 15: 15-24). The word "Psalm" is from the Greek, and first meant a stringed instrument. The Hebrew title of this book is "Praises." Of the 150 psalms David is expressly credited with 73. To fully study this, the sweetest of all psalms, we must consider it verse by verse. (1) "My Shepherd." The lamb is David. The Shepherd is Jehovah. The time is man's natural time on earth. The rest is in the future. This Shepherd so provides that the lamb "shall not want." It is his business to care for his sheep. We are the sheep. Jesus is the Shepherd, and his sheep obey his voice (John 10:4, 5). We shall not want for food, for drink, for grace, for quietness, for companion, for guidance and for welcome back to the fold at the end of the day or in the time of storm. (2) "He leadeth me." "The Lord is my Shepherd because (a) he bought me; (b) he feeds me; (c) he leads me." —Robertson. To fully comprehend the deep significance of this psalm we must try to know the land of Palestine and the habits of eastern shepherds; how they feed their flocks, know them by name, and keep constant vigil against the danger of flood and wild beasts. The Lord is an individual shepherd, interested in the one as well as the whole, and as such attends to each individual's need. He provides a place for us to "he down in pastures of tender grass"; he also causes us to walk beside "waters of quietness." He makes us to lie down at times and he knows where to lead, providing at the same time both food and drink. (3) "He restoreth my soul." The Shepherd revives our fainthness. The lamb is too weak, he carries it "in his bosom" until it is revived. Many are the ways he revives us. A word, a sentence, a paragraph, or an experience will oftimes restore the sick, weary, sorrowful or sin-buffeted child of God. He also leads—remember he does not drive—and his paths are paths of pleasantness and of peace. His paths are "right tracks," not the delusive ones of sin. We cannot walk in these paths without his leadership, without his strengthening rest, "hout the invigorating food and drink which is provided for us by the Good Shepherd. (4) "Yea though I walk." Just as every need has been and will be provided for (Phill. 4:19) even so will every fear be banished. The flock has passed beyond the "tender grass" and "waters of quietness" into new and strange experiences, into the "valley of deepest darkness," not alone the experience of physical death but all of life's experiences that are shrouded by thick, impenetrable darkness, for the Christian does not always walk in paths of light. Sometimes we scarcely see the Shepherd, but we may always hear his voice. Dark valleys may lie between two excellent pasture grounds even as Bunyan suggests in Pilgrim's Progress. Death is a shadow, not a substance, for the sting of sin has been removed (I Cor. 15:44-57). Why not fear? "For thou art with me" and he is stronger than any possible enemy. There are dangers which we cannot cope with, but as he is with us "we are able." (5) "My cup runneth over." Here the figure changes. Jehovah is now the bountiful host. What a repast he has spread! David as a shepherd and as a fugitive from Saul knew the pinch of hunger and the satisfaction of eating in peace, in the very presence of his enemies, man and beast. They that are Christ's have enemies (John 15:19; II Tim. 3:12), but as our Host he has spread a bamquet in their very presence while the world goes on feeding upon the husks. He also anoints our heads with the "oil of gladness," the Holy Spirit (Acts 10:38; I John 2:20, 27 R. V.). For the ancient feast this anointing was an essential preparation (6) "I shall dwell . . . forever." Goodness and mercy pursue the psalmist in marked contrast with the calamity and the angel of judgment which follow the wicked (Ps. 35:6; 140:11). There is a perpetuity of blessing as well as the penalty of sin. The psalmist leaves the feast for his dwelling house which shall abide "to length of days." This is to be interpreted in its fullness only by the New Testament (John 14:1-2; I Thess. 4:16, 17). Everlasting fellowship, communion and companionship with the Chief Shepherd, the "great Shepherd of the sheep."

As a bona fide circulation, we venture the assertion that we have more subscribers than any other three Colored papers in Oklahoma, WITHOUT A SINGLE EXCEPTION. MANY WORTHY YOUNG MEN, with brilliant futures before them have wrecked their lives and spoiled their careers by permitting themselves to become involved with conniving, deceitful and designing women whose habits and mode of living are anything but elevating. Unfortunately, there are a few such young men in Tulsa. Young men of good families who are allowing women of this class to drag them down the dark path of shame and degradation. The Star's hope is that these young men will read this editorial and change their course before it is too late. Bad women have wrecked the lives of more good men than all other evils. There are plenty good, clean honets and deserving young g'rls who would make ideal wives, and there ought to be more good, clean, honest and honorable young men for their husbands. THE PICTURE PRODUCTION OF "THE NIGGER" which was played in this city this week met a storm of protest from quite a few citizens, especially Colored, but this was because they had not read or seen the play. After seeing this wonderful picture story any sensible fair-minded man or woman, White or Colored, will admit that it is one of the most interesting dramas ever thrown on the canvas. It is a play fraught with human interest, full of human pathos, and brings the audience face to face with the s^o-called "race problem" in its true light in a way that is both pleasing and inspiring.

Has Sunk Fourteen Vessels Valued at $7,0€°,000, In Eight Months’ Cruise in South Seas. Newport News, Va— The German ronverted cruiser Kron Pring Wilhelm, another raider of commerce in the south seas, slipped into this port and asked for fuel and provisions. Many times reported destroyed, the former North German Lloyd liner evaded hos- tle warships for eight months while she sent fourteen merehantmen to the bottom and her officers said she was forced to steal her way past four French and British eruisers off the Virginia capes in order to reach this refuge, “We got In without being seen by the enemy and we can get out the same way,” declared ner commander, Livutenant Captain Paul Thierfelder, formerly navigating officer of the Ger- man cruiser Karlsrvbe, in a statement Sunday night. When she dropped anchor the Kron Prinz Wilhelm had less than twenty five tons of coal and scanty provisions for the crew of 500 and sixty-one pris: oners from British merchant ships sunk In the South Atlantic, Of the fourteen ships that the drab-painted, 15,000-ton eruiser sank, nine were Brit- ish, four French and one Norwegian, The value of these ships and their car- goes, officers of the Wilhelm esti- mated at $7,000,000, Following in the wake of the tn- terned Prince Eitel Friedrich, whieh arrived here a month ago after «imilar thrilling and effective operations for German arms, the Kron Pring Withelm came dashing through the lane of enemy warships which had hovered off these shores for weeks before the Kitel was interned, In her raid of the seas since she slipped out of New York harbor, Au- gust S last, as a German merebant and passenger steamer, the Kron Pring Wilhelm never touched land and took 960 prisoners from various vessels de: stroyed. Most of these were sent to South American ports at different times on German ships which met the raider in response to wireless calls, ‘The sixty: ‘one now on board, who will be landed here, are British sailors takeg from steamshipd ‘Tamar, destroyed March #5, and Coleby, destroyed March 27 last. Thrilling Story of Raid. The second of the raiders brought as thrilling a story as did her prede- cessor, the Eitel Friedrich, Her record of destruction, however, was accom: plished with only four guns, two taken from the German cruiser Karlsruhe and two captured from the British merchant steamer LaCorrentina, sunk October 7, 1914, Lieutenant Captain Thierfelder sald he hoped to be able to leave port but the genral belief here ts that the Kron Pring Wilhelm will intern, Collector of Customs Normal R Hamiiton early in the day went aboard the Kron Pring Wilhelm and notified the commander that he must leave port within twenty-four hours unless he needed coal or provisions or time to make repairs, The German com: mander came ashore with the collector and asked for 300 (ons of coal and sup plies for three days, Collector Hamil ton after consultation with Asisstant Secretary Peters at Washington al lowed him 150 tons of coal, which was put aboard and provisions for three days. CELAYA REPORTS CONFLICTING Both Villa and Carranza Claim De. cisive Victory. Laredo, Tex.--Meagre reports reach: ing here from Mexico said the fight between Carranta andl Villa forces at Celaya has ended in defeat for the Villa army, which was said to be re treating northward from Celaya, ‘The report, which came from Car. ranza sources, said Villa’s losses in dead and wounded would reach 3,000 Other detaits were lacking, Villa Claims Victory, Washington, —- General Villa tele: graphed his agency here that he had sent a communication through foreign consuls to General Obregon inviting him to come into the open country north of Celaya to Aght or else permit the non-combatants of that city to withdraw before he begins the bom: bardment, “We have defeated the enemy. ‘The situation could not be better. ‘The forces of Obregon are leaving Celaya in order to avoid further fighting. ‘Tho annihilation of the enemy % now certain, Our troops are pursuing the enemy incessantly.” ‘The Carranza agency gave out the following from Manzanillo concerning the situation at Irapuato and vicinity: “Reports from Michoacan and Jat {sco confirm previous news of Villa de feats in the vicinity of Irapuato, Gen wral Dieguez and General Sanchez, wh were at Lapledad, in the state of Mich oacan, have recently engaged the Vill troops near Irapuato with success,” THE TULSA STAR UNCONFIRMED REPORTS SAY TEUTON TROOPS OCCUPY DUTCH BORDER, AUSTRIAN-RUSSIAN PEACE TALK Aan iee London —There are persistent rus mors in London that Germany either had declared war on Holland or that her troops had oceupled that strip of Duteh territory which extends from the Belgian frontier on the cosst to the river Scheldt. The reports lack contirmation and are not credited by those who should know if either action had been taken, It is possible that the reports arose from the news received in the last few days from Dutch sources that the Ger mans were strengthening their posl- tion around the Dutch frontier and that much uneasiness prevailed at The Hague and other Duteh cities as a re- sult of the seizure or sinking of Dutch steamers by German submarines. The Dutch are strongly opposed to intervention in the war but their army is ready to repel any invasion of Dutch territory, comptete preparations with that object having been made Jong ao, Another diplomatic report which has created immense interest is that from Rome to the effect that Austria is seeking 4 separate peace with Russia. ‘This likewise lacks confirmation and is not credited as it is not comsidered Ukely that Gerindhy would be sending reinforcements to the Carpathians it there were any doubt of Austria's loy: alty to her ally, An attempt was made to assassinate the sultan of Egypt, Hussein Kemil, according to a Reuter dispateh from Cairo. As the sultan was leaving Ab: din palace a native fired a shot at him, ‘This went wild and the native was im- ‘mediately seized.

At last my doctor told me to try Cardui and I did s0, and I can say, it sure has cured me sound and well, and ‘am glad to tell anyone what it did for me, and it will help any suffering woman, i can't praise Cardui enough. I wish ‘every woman would believe what I say and give Cardul a trial, and they will find my word to be true. Cardul {s all 1 take in the way of medicine. We always keep it in the house for my benefit. When I was told to try Cardul 1 dtd not think I would, but my friends kept on at me until I got one bottle, and tt did me go much good that I kept on taking It. My back has got well, my nerve fs all right and my old tired feeling has gone, and I am stout and strong as a woman can be. I am glad to say It was Cardut that I can praise for my health.” Your druggist sells Cardul. Try it— Aay. Absent Minded. Everything—in the professor's eyes —depended upon this last test. His work of research for years was now about to either prove a success or a failure. ‘ ‘To the P. the air seemed electri: fied, and he had success in view when he heard the familiar step of a doctor acquaintance approaching. “Well, what is it, old man? Can't you see I'm frightfully busy?” A smile broke over the doctor's face. “It's a bonnie boy, sir—a little son and heir.” “All right—all right!” Irritably growled the professor, whose thoughts were far removed from the outside world. “Be 80 good as to send him away, but ask him what he wants pes: tering round here at this unearthly hour, will you?” Profuse explanations follow. Gets Job: Dies First Day. John J. Cullen had been out of work since January. Almost every day he had applied for work from the contractors building bridge across the Passaic river between Belleville and Arlington, N. J. An extra man was needed and the contractors put Cullen to work. Pleased at getting a job, he worked with zest until noon. As he was leav- ing the bridge for lunch he fell into the water a few feet from shore. ‘The water was shallow. Cullen rose to his feet and staggered to shore. Then he dropped again, When men reached him he was dead, He was thirty-five years old, and lived at 216 Cleveland avenue, Harrison. ° 9 After Winter's one requires a food in Springtime that builds up both brain and body.

AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS ee There died in Montgomery a short time ago a Scotchman who did a noble work in the education of the Negro race in Alabama, and his pass- ing has made a vacancy that will not be easy to fill, His name was W, B. Paterson; his fame was purely local, for he did not make the big noise, and because he was a white man conduct- ing a Negro school he did not get the notoriety that has been such a factor in the upbuilding of the noted Negro educators of the South. Professor Paterson drifted in Ala- bama about 1870, looking for work. He Was homeless and friendless, affiicted With an incurable deafness that made social intercourse an impossibility with him, He had tramped from New York to Omaha and then back East looking for work, but could find none. Ry trade he was a gardener, His forebears before him had been gar- deners on the estate of a Scotch Laird Albemarle, or some such name, and he had learned their trade, He got a Job at Marion, on a plantation, digging ditches and doing ordinary farm work along with the Negroes, and this proximity taught him the exact condition of the Negro’s intel- Migence and educational advancement. Out of it came a Negro school that grew until it became a state normal with a large patronage. The planta- tion owner for whom he worked took a fancy to him and helped him on with the first school, and with this en- couragement he built up an establish: ment that was too large for Marion. ‘The Scotch gardener had his eye on the state capital, and he made his plans to move his school there. When {t became known in Mont: romery that a white man was golng to move a Negro school to that city, A mass meeting of the citizens was held and speeches were made, as Pro fersor Paterson often afterward said “they almost tarred and feathered him.” This latter was in @ figurative sense only, Nothing daunted, the schoolmaster moved his school te Montgomery, and went quietly about his business. He conducted an order ly institution; he taught the Negroes domestic science, manual training trades, the dignity of labor, the value ot keeping in the place the white people of the South sald the Negrc must keep. There was no social equal ity of the races there, and never fr the more than forty years of the life of the school under Professor Pater son was there so much as an intima tion that he taught such or practice¢ it. The Negroes had great and grave reverence for him, that was almos' patriarchal in its simplicity. Montgomery quieted down after th school was settled, and in a few years began to look upon it as an asset an¢ on Professor Paterson as a publi benefactor, Year by year he increase the membership of his school, and i order to make it self-sustaining and t make {t possible for the students t pay their way through, he placed then in the homes of Montgomery as sery ants, fixing the school hours so tha they could do their domestic worl and carry on their studies too. Hi training made itself felt for the ser ants in Montgomery, and they wer fn demand. Montgomery {s now ful of them, and they all command hig! wages because they can earn them ‘That in itself 1s tribute enough fo the school and for the memory of thi good man. Of the thousands that went throug this school, some were found to pot Christ church, Providence, was the first effort of the late Rey. Dr, Crum- mell, following his ordination in St. Paul's chureh, Boston, in 1842. He soon relinquished it, Rev. Mr. Stokes, ordained by Bishop Whittington, in St. James’ church, Baltimore, in 1843, organized St, Luke's church, New Haven, the following June. In a year or #0, having been. priested by the bishop of Connecticut, Mr. Stokes yielded to his old friend, whom he had known in Baltimore, Bishop Hen- shaw, and moved to Providence. About 1850 he went to Africa as a mis: sionary. The Providence church was left without a pastor, and it seems to have gradually gone out of exist- ence, What became of the money from the sale of the church we do not know. During all our experience, we have never known any two white priests more devoted to the welfare of the colored people, than the late Calbraith B. Perry and Robert H. Paine. I 1 mistake not, both of them were na tives of Rhode Island, Here is 8 splendid opportunity for the friends ‘of Messrs, Perry, Paine and Crummel Honduras, in Central America, re- ports a quiet and prosperous period for the year 1912-13.

About two years ago St. Augustine's mission among the colored people of Providence, R. 1. was initiated, writes & correspondent of The Living Chureh From a recent account in a chureh pa- per, I note the following: “The chureh building used for the, services is rent ed property, and Is likely to be sold at any moment.” ‘The purpose of this article is to point out that as early as 1843 there was a parish of colored people in Providence, “Christ church;” that the parish having gone out of existence, the money for freeing the church building from debt having been raised in England by a colored priest, and turned over to the diocesan authori ties in trust, it seems to me that in this emergency the diocesan authort- ties should welcome the opportunity for making restitution, Here is an ex tract from the Episcopal address of Bishop Henshaw, in 1849, which throws Hght upon the matter: “At the time of the meeting of the Jast annual convention, Rev, Eli W. Stokes, rector of Christ church in this city, was absent, in Europe, for the purpose of soliciting funds to liquidate the debt by which that parish has been embarrassed ever since. their house of worship was erected. In consequence of a certificate, required by the laws of England, furnished by me, he was received with great kind: ness by the archbishops, bishops and clergy of our mother church; and 1 am happy to inform you that his mission was crowned with entire success, and the liberal contributions which he re ceived in that distant land have en abled the gentlemen holding the prop erty in trust to make @ satisfactory settlement with the mortgagees. ‘The congregation is now free from debt and our colored brethren have wisely made over their corporate property tc the ‘board of commissioners for churel building’ with a view of security against embarrassment and incum brance for the time to come. Th Christian generosity with which ou English brethren answered the appea made to them in behalf of that feebl parish has been duly acknowledged {t a letter addressed by me to his grac the archbishop of Canterbury, an through him to the church over whict he worthily presides.” District Commissioner Louis Brown- low and Charles E. Nesbit, superintend- ent of Insurance of the district, were speakers at a meeting in the Metro: politan A, M. E. Zion church, under the auspices of the trustees and Men's club of the church, relates the Wash: ington Star. The commissioner spoke of the value of vocational training, and de- clared that improvement in living con: ditions is responsible for a reduction in the mortality rate of the colored ‘population of Washington, Mr, Nesbit urged the men’s clubs of colored churches to take an interest in insurance matters, with the object of protecting members of their race against the practices of unscrupulous companies, to honor them in making this chureh at Providence, for colored people, all that it ought to be, and a fitting me- morial to these pioneer laborers among the colored people, Alexander Crummell was the first black man to be ordained to the min- istry of the church on the soll of New England. Christ church, Providence, was the first parish of colored persons ever organized in the territory of New England. And it was the very first colored church, anywhere in the United States, to be received into union with a diocesan convention, ‘Three colored men sat as deputies from that parish at the diocesan con- vention which met in St. Stephen's church, Providence, in June, 1843.— George F.

JEW HAD THE LAST WORD Youths Who Thought to Have Fun With Him Got Decidedly the Worst of the Transaction. There is more than one way of mak- ing a retort without resorting to the vulgar “You're another.” A Jewish street-vender of spectacles was offering his wares when half a dozen saucy fellows stepped up. “Keep still; we'll have some fun with him,” said the spokesman of the party. “Shpectacles! Good vons!” called the vender. “Dot vos goot,” said the young man, “Now, what can you see through these glasses, Mr. Moses?” “Anything vot you like,” was the reply. “Ish dot so? Well, we'll see about that.” He took a pair of spectacles, put them on, and looked straight at the dealer, “Nonsense, Mr. Moses!" he exclaimed, “What have you been telling us? Nothing whatever can be seen through these glasses but black guards,” whereupon his compantons laughed, “Vot? Ish dot so?" exclaimed the vender, as if in alarm, He took the glasses, put them on hastily, and looked ‘at the party. “My goodness!” he exclaimed, “dot ish so.” The party ‘moved on, but this time they wero no | laughing. American Milk Bottles to Gritain. In reference to our recent paragraph on the shortage in milk bottles due to the supply having in the past been drawn from Austria, we are informed by a firm in the trade that this diff. culty is now being overcome. It is possible to secure bottles from Amer fea, of equal quality and at the same price as the Austrian product. We are glad to hear that the Austrian source of supply can be dispensed with with: out inconvenience, but we should be Still more glad to heai ‘hat the de: mand could be met by British makers. In this connection we are informed that English bottles are to be obtained, “Dut at a rise of 20 per cent and of an inferior quality.”—London Globe.
