Tulsa Star

A FEARLESS EXPONENT OF RIGHT AND JUSTICE THE TULSA STAR OUR SUBSCRIPTION LIST MAKES A VALUABLE MEDIUM FOR ADVERTISING Official Organ of The Grand United Order of Odd Fellows, And The Knights And Ladies of Harmony of The World, Oklahoma Jurisdiction Did The Star Misrepresent The School Question? Did The PROF. HUGHE WE SA Let The People Judge In order to correct the impression made by an editorial in the Tulsa Star, issued May 1, 1915, we state that Superintendent E. E. Oberholtzer has never at any time said that colored school's would not be allowed to place exhibits in the Convention hall; but said it... "depended upon the amount of space. We do not feel that we, as teachers, have at any time or stage of the school work, been unjustly treated by the superintendent. We are, indeed, grateful for the improvements that have been made during the present administration. Our manual training and domestic science departments are well equipped and our faculty sufficiently full at this time. For the above reason, we do not think the article in the Star does justice to Superintendent E. E. Oberholtzer. In respect to the above it might be noted that the exhibits from the colored schools are now in place in Convention hall." The above was published in the Tulsa Democrat of May 6th, just as it appears above, over the signature of J. W. Hughes, principal of the Dunbar School. The week before the Star had published an editorial which charged that Supt. Oberholtzer had planned a big public school exhibition, at the convention hall, but that "for some reason best known to Mr. Oberholtzer" the Colored schools had been excluded. Mr. Hughes states in the above article that the Star misrepresented the facts in the case, and that the Superintendent had never said at any time that the Colored schools would not be allowed to place exhibits in the Convention hall. It is a noteworthy fact however that Mr. Oberholtzer has issued no statement to this effect. When he does, if he does, then the Star will be delighted to reply to him in full detail. We will say, however, that the editor of the Star talked to Mr. Oberholtzer concerning the exhibits about two weeks before the scheduled time for the exhibition in April, and at that time he objected to the Star publishing an article saying that the Colored schools would take part in the exhibition, saying that he would look further into the matter and report definitely to the Star the latter part of that week. But as yet he has not reported. Week before last the editor met Mr. Hughes on the street and asked him if he was preparing any exhibits for the occasion, and he replied in the negative. We then asked him if the Colored schools would be represented in the exhibition and his reply was a positive "No." When asked if he know why, he said Mr. Oberholtzer had informed him and others of the Colored teachers at a special meeting that there would not be room enough for the Colored schools; or as he claims now, that Mr. Oberholtzer thought there would not be room. He also told this to others. Then it was that the Star published the editorial which has caused so much comment and to which Mr. Hughes at the request of Mr. Oberholtzer has taken exceptions. Why could not Mr. Oberhaltzer defend himself? Why should he ask Mr. Hughes to defend him? The Star was not arraigning Mr. Oberholtzer for what he had or had not done for the Colored schools in the way of improvements. We admit he has done well in this respect, but certainly no more than he should have done, if as much. It will be recalled that the Star at one time devoted considerable space lauding Mr. Oberholtzer for his work as Superintendent of the city schools, and we have materially assisted him in his worthy efforts. When the school bond issue was up we published a special edition at our own ex- ```markdown ``` The Leading Race Paper in The State of Oklahoma pense boosting the bonds and asking all good citizens to vote for them. Any improvement he has accorded the Colored schools, and more, was very richly deserved, and we do not agree that he is entitled to any special praise for having spent a small part of the money that the Colored tax payers of this city levied against themselves in common with other citizens when they passed the school bonds. Under the circumstances, we do not feel that the Star has done any injustice to any one unless it was an injustice to ask for a square deal and equal orportunities for our boys and girls. We are firmly of the opinion that it was Mr. Oberholtzer's intention to exclude the Colored schools from the exhibition, and would have done so but for the editorial in the Star. The exhibits referred to in the postscript of Mr. Hughes' article were ordered sent to the convention hall only on day before the fair opened. If Mr. Oberholtzer had intended to permit the Colored schools to take part, why did he not so advise them several weeks in advance, as he did the white schools? Perhaps Mr. Hughes can explain this. We regret ver ymuch that Mr. Hughes made it necessary for us to reopen the case, but the Star must keep up its reputation. To this end we are always willing to defend any position we assume, and we are usually able to do so. Coles Pleads Guilty Are to Be Electrocuted On June 4th. Boydton, Va., April 30,—Tom Coles Negro murderer and rapist, was tried here today in the Circuit Court for Mecklenburg county, Judge W. R. Barksdale, presiding. The accused was duly indicted by the grand jury, which met here today, on charge of having assaulted Miss Georgia Royster, of Buffalo Junction, and also on charge of having murdered a Negro girl in this county in January. While there were two seperate indictments against him he was only tried for the assault. When brought into court the accused was asked if he desired counsel and he replied in the affirmative, and the court, accordingly appointed counsel to represent him. When arranged the prisoner plead guilty to the charge and the Commonwealth's attorney proceeded to introduce his evidence in support of the charge, which was of the clearest sort. The first witness, a colored man, testified to having seen Tom Cole pursuing the young woman and the rest of the witnesses testified to the fact that Tom Cole had voluntarily confessed the whole transaction to them en route to Petersburg, subsequent to his removal from Mecklenburg county by Sheriff W. R. Beales. The defendant introduced no witnesses at aal, and his only request of the court, when it passed sentence up on him, was that he would like for his electrocution to be earlier than the court had named if possible. The sentence of the court was that he should be electrocuted on June 4. Four squadsof soldiers and the Mecklenburg guards are here to prevent any trouble that might arise. Your correspondent is very glad to be able to state that the trial proceeded in a very quiet and orderly manner, and while there was a large crowd here on account of the trial, there has been no demonstration of any character whatever that would tend to show violent purposes. Cole will be carried back to Petersburg to-night on special car accompanied by the Petersburg Grays, who escorted the prisoner from Petersburg this morning.

Two Big Conventions To be Held Here in July Two Big Conventions To be Held Here in July Two of the largest fraternal organizations in the state will meet in this city in July. One is the K. of P. grand lodge. Both will held their sesions in the new Convention hall almost in the heart of the city. The local committees of these two organizations are busy preparing for these grand bodies. Members of both committees say they expect to eclipse the climax in entertaining the visitors. The uniform ranks of the K. of P. will be encamped at the association park. Both Grand Chancellor Harrison of the K. P.s and Grand Master Jefferson of the Odd Fellows are jubilant over the prospects of their meetings here this year, and each of them are making good boosters for Tulsa. It is expected that between two and three thousand delegates and visitors will visit the K. of P. Grand Lodge and from 1200 to 1500 will attend the Odd Fellows. CAPT T. D. JACKSON. Capt. T. D. Jackson's speech to the Odd Fellows, Sisters and Brothers of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows and friends—Assembled: For me to tell you all how I appreciate this glorious opportunity to address you on this Oddfellows occasion I would have to borrow a Webster or us$_n$ the language of the Magic Christ, who said while here on earth, "suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of heaven." I can't find words in $n$ the English language or in the Latin phrases adequate to express the unbounded gratification it gives me to say a word in behalf of our noble order. My Sisters and Brothers—I'm always glad to be at any movement upon the part of this order. This demonstration deserves more than a passing consideration by these people and for us Oddfellows and Christians to become a greater factor in the activities of Oddfellowship and Christian life and a larger contributor to its growth and prosperity; is the hope of this order. If oppositions by some of our members be on the increase; there must be some cause or reason for such opposition. The location and the elimination of this is one of the tasks we as Oddfellows have undertaken for the last forty years. Though we shall be pleased to have the good will and hearty co-operation of all who are in sympathy with an order like this, struggling against great odds, endeavoring to reach a higher sphere in man's civilization by thrift, honesty, industry, economy, intelligence and good department; coupled with greater reverence, for law and order and the responsibility of citizenship, we as Oddfellows of Oklahoma hope to win and hold the respect of the people in-Tulsa. We are trying to work out some plan or plans in Tulsa, whereby conditions of our members and the race may be better. Ass Oddfellows we have made remarkable progress along Christian and human endeavor lines, and the hope of this order lies in our ability to make greater studies in the future. We as Oddfellows are concerning ourselves, not only about the affairs of our order, but, we are seeking to so guide and direct the youth that they may be better prepared than their fathers and mothers to enter into all activities of national life. It is not our purpose to supercode, displace, or usurp the plan of any other order, having for its object the betterment of the race—but rather to so contribute all possible support in the same direction. We are trying to find some ground of mutual sympathetic and harmonious cooperation upon which the order may work for the common good of all. It is an effort rich in possibilities and worthy of the time and energy devoted to its development as intended through this order. If we succeed only in awakening interest, and, changing conditions along one or two neglected lines, this order and the House-Hold of Ruth will have well rewarded each and every one who contributes to our success. The object, my sisters and brothers, of the Grand United Order of Oddfellows is the advancement of common humanity, in wisdom, virtue and happiness; although it cannot be denied that this object has too frequently been lost, yet it is a cheering fact that the profession of those who have abused our Order have always borne witness against themselves. The leading principle of our Order is its firm hope in the future; which with all its teaching and ceremonies inspire a hope founded on the progressive nature of man. Looking forward to the time when love and not fear shall hall their fellow men as brothers, however widely they may be separated in country, manner or opinion. Wherever the Order of the Grand United Order of Oddelflows has a home, its object is to bless Mankind by leading them through friendship to love, and uniting all in the bond of truth. With these views, its symbolism was established to teach these principles and its ceremonies are celebrated. The humbleness of officers indicates it, the furniture of our Lodges proclaim it, the color of the brother's regalia, and robe, symbolize its high and noble purposes; its government like $_{\mathrm{e}}$ that of our country, is republican in form and rest supon universal sufferage, and like it is composed of three distinct bodies united in one. Our various lodges are our legislatures, the general meeting of B. M. C. our congress and highest tribunal—the sub-committee of management; our executive being elected, instructed, authorized and empowered by the general meeting. Its supreme government. He who would become a member of our order must prove his fitness by subjecting his character to the scrutiny of those with whom he desires to associate, and if that character will not stand a strict test he is a once selected. or can any lodge neglect the solemn duty of testing the character of its candidates without sinking into degradation and endangering its own existence. At his initiation every brother is called upon the sacred altar to assume the white robe of truth, and extend the hand of friendship in bonds of love. For the purpose of perpetuating this blessing and extending the domains and influence of our order, we are assembled here today; give us your attention, and lend us your assistance in our noble work. MANY REFORMERS BOB UP Number of Anxious Applicants Wait for Jobs. Since the act of the last legislature providing for a reformatory for designeut Negro boys quite a number of Colored men in the State have suddenly discovered that they are especially fitted for the executive, head of the institution and have accordingly filed application for the job. It is said that nearly half a hundred men have applied for the place, some with long petitions, some with self-written reference letters glanced by their friends, and others with special letters of recommendation signed by citizens of various towns in the state. Among those who are seeking the job are: Rev. Abner of Wewoka, J. W. Gurner, Oklahoma City, Bradley of Boley, J. R. Hogan, Langton; Franklin of Rentiesville and F. L. Martin, Tulsa. The appointments will probably not question? be made until early fall. The State Feederation of Negro Women's Club which enjoys the honor of having taken the initiative steps to create this institution will doubtless be consulted concerning the appointment. These ladies worked hard and faithfully during the last four years to get the legislature to provide such an institution for wayward boys of the race, and it is well and generally known that, they had so selfish interest in the matter, their recommendation therefore, will justice to ask for a square deal and count for much with the state board of affairs and Gov. Williams. The best Colored people of the state are anxious only that the appointee be a man who will serve the state with credit to himself and the race. REED WANTS JOB Oklahoma City, May 12.—Quite a deal of anxiety is being felt in this city by the applicants for the janitorship of one of the Colored school buildings. A number of men have applied for the place but none are more highly recommended by the leading citizens of the state than Frank W Reed, formerly of Muskogee, who was an employee in the Senate during the last legislature. Frank is well known in the councils of the democracy in this state and it is thought he has an excellent chance to land the appointment, as some of the leading democrats in the state are backing him. WOODPECKER ROBS A TOWN Causes Short Circuit on Signal Wires Resulting in Excessive Water Bill. Iwaco, Wash.—A woodpecker is blamed for large additions to Iwaco's bill for pumping city water. The contract for filling the municipal reservoir is let to a power company and an electric indicator notifies the engineer when the required depth of water has been provided. For some months the bill has been regarded as excessive and the number of hours required daily to fill the basin has varied to a marked degree. Investigation has placed the blame on an innocent woodpecker which chose one wire for a perch and with its tail touching the other wire made a short circuit so that the engineer's signal to stop pumping was controlled by the woodpecker's rest rather than the depth of water provided. BREAKS BANNS AT THE ALTAR Bride-to-Be Says God Commanded Her to Be Missionary—Flance Agrees. Elgin, Tex.-At the chance in the Baptist church here, where Miss Ethel Sowell and Ernest Byers were to have been married, the bride-to-be made a public declaration that she had been commanded to serve God in the missionary field. The wedding was abandoned. Miss Sowell, who comes from a prominent Texas family, said that God appeared to her in a vision and told her that her life would be a failure if she did not consecrate herself to saving souls. Byers accepted the decision of his flance and accompanied her to the church, where the change in plans was announced to the assembled guests. Confessea 100 Thefta Los Angeles.—Thomas Carr, arrested here several days ago, has confessed to more than one hundred burglaries committed in and near Los Angeles, according to statements made at the sheriff's office. Jewelry and other articles estimated to be worth $10,000 have been recovered with the aid of the prisoner.

Vanderbilt, Chas. Frohman, and Chas. Klein probably lost—Wilson Administration Studying Situation Carefully. London.—The Cunard liner Lusitania, which sailed out of New York last Saturday with more than 2,000 souls aboard, lies at the bottom of the ocean off the Irish coast. She was sunk by a German submarine, which sent two torpedoes crashing into her side while the passengers, seemingly confident that the great, swift vessel could elude the German underwater craft, were having luncheon. How many of the Lusitania's passengers and crew were rescued cannot be told at present, but the official statements from the British admiralty accounted for not more than 600 or 700. There were dead and wounded among those brought ashore; some since have died. There were 2,160 souls on board when the ship sailed. The Lusitania was steaming along about ten miles off Old Head Kinsale on the last leg of her voyage to Liverpool, when about 2 o'clock Friday afternoon a submarine appeared suddenly and, so far as all reports go, fired two torpedoes without warning at the steamer. One struck her near the bows and the other in the engine room. The agents of destruction tore the vessel's side, causing terrific explosions. Four torpedoes were fired at the Lusitania, her officers say, but the two of them missed. The steamer was flying the British flag when she was struck. Boats, which were already swung out on the davits, were dropped over board and were speedily filled with passengers who had been appalled by the desperate attack. A wireless call for help was sent out and immediately rescue boats of all kinds were sent out, both from the neighboring points along the coast and Queenstown. But within fifteen minutes, as one survivor estimated, and certainly within half an hour, the Lusitania had disappeared. Where Great Britain's fastest merchant vessel went down—Old Head Kinsale—is a landmark that has brought joy to many travelers, as it always stood as the sign from shore that the perils of the voyage on the Atlantic were at an end. There were several hundred American citizens on board. Among the most prominent were Elbert Hubbard and wife, Alfred G. Vanderbilt, Chas Klein, the playwright, Chas Frohman, the theatrical magnate. Immediately the news of the torpedoing of the Lusitania was received at Queenstown the admiral in command of the naval station dispatched to the scene all assistance available. The tugs Warrior, Stormcock and Julia together with five trawlers and the local lifeboat in tow of a tug were hurried to sea. The Lusitania was seen from the signal station at Kiasale to be in difficulty at 2:12 p. m. At 2:33 p. m. she had completely disappeared. This indicates that the liner was affloat twenty-one minutes after what evidently was the beginning of her troubles. Oklahoma And Texans On Board.

Germans Have Been Pushing Submarine Warfare. London.—The Lusitania was the twenty-ninth vessel to be sunk or damaged in the first week of May in the German war zone about the British Isles. Most of these vessels were torpedoed by German submarines although in some cases it has not been determined whether the damage was inflicted by mines or underwater boats. During the last fortnight German submarines have carried on the most active campaign of any time since the war began. Sixteen of the twenty-nine vessels were British trawlers. Those were four British and one French merchantman in the list. The others were vessels of neutral nations. One of them was the American steamer Gulflight, which was torpeded off Scilly islands May 1, with the loss of three lives. Establishment of the German zone was decreed on February 4 to take effect on February 18. The German government's decree, defined the war zone as including "all the waters surrounding Great Britain and Ireland including the entire English channel," although stating specifically that shipping north of the Shetland islands in the eastern area of the North Sea and in a strip forty miles wide along the Netherlands coast would not be imperiled. The Lusitania therefore was in the war zone when sunk. In the war zone decree, the German announced its intention to "endeavor to destroy every enemy merchant ship found in this area of water" stating that this action had been made necessary by the conduct of Great Britain in carrying on "a mercantile warfare" against Germany in a way that defies all the principles of international law. The German admiralty is reported to have sent newly constructed submarines of a large size and high speed for the present campaign. Vessel Was Heavily Insured. New York.—Insurance on the Lust- tania, it was said, amounted to $7,500, .000. The vessel was valued, in round figures, at $10,000,000. The worth of the cargo she carried was reckoned at $350,000. She carried 250 bags of mail. She had no specie aboard. On her manifest the largest single item was listed as "cartridges and ammun- tition. 4,200 cases, $152,400," consoled to London. The vessel carried hundreds of tons of beef and bacon and provisions. Vanderbilt a Brave Man. London.—Thomas Slidell of New York, who was interviewed in London, said he saw Alfred G. Vanderbilt on the deck of the Lusitania as the vessel was going down. Mr. Vanderbilt, who could not swim, was equipped with a life belt, but he gallantly took it off. Mr. Slidell said, and placed it around the body of a young woman. Then he went off to seek another life belt. The ship sank a few seconds later. LATEST VICT The Lusitania was one of the largest Glasgow in 1906. She was 785 feet long and tonnage 9,145. She was owned by the Turner. The Lusitania was a product of the panies, particularly of England and Go world. Her mastery of the sea from 1906 made one trans-Atlantic voyage on a western voyage, was four days, likely by the Mauretania, her sister ship, ing the war. The Mauretania set the mark of foe The Lusitania had accommodations The career of the Lusitania was the largest and fastest vessels of the fact, was the only vessel of this type could fall to the Germans her voyage It was the steamer Lusitania whose Liverpool in order to protect her again on both sides of the ocean and result of a neutral flag under circumstances LATEST VICTIM OF SUBMARINE ACTIVITY LUSITANIA The Lusitania was one of the largest of trans-Atlantic liners as well as one of the speediest. She was built in Glasgow in 1906. She was 785 feet long, 88 feet beam and 60 feet deep. Her gross tonnage was 32,500 and her net tonnage 9,145. She was owned by the Cunard Steamship Company, limited, of Liverpool. Her captain was W. T. Turner. The Lusitania was a product of the race for speed which was carried on for years among trans-Atlantic companies, particularly of England and Germany. When the Lusitania was launched she was the wonder of the maritime world. Her mastery of the sea from the standpoint of speed, was undisputed. She made one trans-Atlantic voyage in five days and 54 minutes, at that time a record. Her fastest trip, made on a western voyage, was four days, 11 hours, 42 minutes. This record, however, was wrested from her subsequently by the Mauretania, her sister ship, built a few months later, which has been in service for the British navy during the war. The Mauretania set the mark of four days, 10 hours, 40 minutes, which still stands. The Madridiana had the mark of four days, 10 hours, 40 minutes, which still stands. The Lusitania had accommodations for 550 first class passengers, 500 second class and 1,500 third class. The career of the Lusitania was comparatively uneventful up to last summer. After the war broke out most of the largest and fastest vessels of the British trans-Atlantic fleet were requisitioned by the navy. The Lusitania, in fact, was the only vessel of this type to continue in regular service. Inasmuch as she was the greatest prize which could fall to the Germans her voyages were followed with particular concern. It was the steamer Lusitania whose flying of the American flag in February on her way from Queenstown to Liverpool in order to protect her against possible attack by a German submarine, caused considerable astonishment on both sides of the ocean and resulted in the issuing of a statement by the British foreign office justifying the use of a neutral flag under circumstances such as these. Passengers Jeer at Warning of Danger New York.—The advertisement in New York papers, the day the Lusitania sailed warning passengers not to take the risk, provoked only ridicule from the passengers. Charles T. Bowring, head of the firm of Bowring Bros., and president of the St. George's Society, who was a passenger, said that it was a silly performance for the German Embassy to UNDERWOOD UNDERWOOD Charles Frohman, Whose Body Has Been Recovered, do and below the dignity of a diplomatic representative of any foreign government. Alexander Campbell, general manager for John Dewar & Sons, London, who was returning home after transferring his firm's business in this country to an agency, said: "I think it is a lot of tommy rot for any government to do such a thing, and it is J. AG Vanderbilt hard to believe that the German ambassador dictated the advertisement. The Lusitania can run away from any submarine the Germans have got, and the British Admiralty will see that she is looked after when she arrives in striking distance of the Irish coast." D. A. Thomas, the wealthy Welsh coal operator, who sailed on the Lusitania, accompanied by his daughter, Lady Mackworth, the English militant supratagreife, said he was not worrying about the ship being attacked by submarines. Charles Klein, the American playwright, told a Times reporter, who asked him about the warning in the newspapers, that he was going to devote his time on the voyage to thinking of his new play, "Potash & Perlmutter in Society." --- Survivor at Queenstown Tells Tale of Horror THE CUNARD LINER LUSITANIA largest of trans-Atlantic liners as well as ang. 88 feet beam and 60 feet deep.

WILSON ACTS WITH DELIBERATION WILL DO NOTHING HASTY IN THIS CRISIS. President Keeps His Counsel As He Waits For Full Report of the Facts. the Facts. Washington—President Wilson, upon whom the eyes of the world are focused at the present moment, studied in quiet seclusion the aspects of law and fact in connection with the sinking by a German torpedo of the British Liner Lusitania with a consequent loss of many American lives. The latest reports from the American ambassador, places the American loss at 115. The great human tragedy coupled with the responsibility of the hour caused the president to deny himself to all callers, even to members of his official family, while he turned over in his mind the course to be pursued by the United States government in one of the most serious crises in its history. The only glimpse of the working of the president's mind was given when the White House issued its first formal comment on the disaster. The announcement was made that the president realized the country expected him to deal with the situation "with deliberation as well as firmness." When the German admiralty proclaimed the waters around Great Britain and Ireland a war zone and warned neutral vessels against the dangers that lay therein, the United States did not admit Germany's right to place hazards in the way of American vessels or lives. There was no distinction drawn then as to whether the representations of the United States covered Americans traveling on belligerent or neutral craft, but officials informally disclosed later that the note had been purposely phrased so as to cover both contingencies. The language of the American note was everywhere recalled as a possible index of the policy to be pursued. In a note to Germany the United States government pointed out that if American lives were lost or on American vessel sunk, "the government of the United States would be constrained to hold the German government to a strict accountability and to take any steps necessary to safeguard American lives and property and to secure to American citizens the full extent of their acknowledged rights on the high seas." Information gathered among officials of the government and in diplomatic quarters tended to confirm the belief Survivor at Q Tells T Queenstown.—D. A. Thomas, wealthy Welsh collier owner, relating his experience here describes the scene when the Lusitania was struck as follows: "The first explosion coming at luncheon time, shocked the great boat, and as the second torpedo struck the engine-room the whole vessel shuddered. "This second explosion seemed to throw the ship on her beam ends. "None of the passengers had expected an attack, but all realized, with the first explosion, that the unexpected had happened. "But even with the awkward listing that followed the second shot many of the passengers expressed the belief that the ship could not sink. that plans for the destruction of the Lusitania were made several weeks ago. The German embassy was instructed to advertise in the leading newspapers against traveling on belligerent ships. Anonymous warnings were then sent to individuals who proposed sailing on the Lusitania. Most significant of all were letters received here from officials in Germany by private persons stating that the Lusitania surely would be destroyed. At the German embassy here while no comment was made as to whether it was known there that the vessel was to be destroyed, it was said the embassy knew the Lusitania carried arms and ammunition and being advised of the resolution of the German admiralty to attack ships that carried such contraband, officials had believed she would be attacked. 88 VESSELS NOW IN DANGER ZONE Chance For Many More Submarine Disasters. New York.—Eighty-eight vessels bound from or to American ports are within the German war zone, or due to pass through it on their voyages. Thirteen of them carry passengers and one, the Cameronia, left New York May 3 for Halifax, presumably to take troops to England. The passenger carrying ships are the Roma (French), which left New York April 26 for Marseilles; La Touraine (French), New York, April 28 for Bordeaux; Oscar II (Danish), New York, April 29, for Copenhagen; Rotterdam (Dutch), New York, May 1, for Liverpool; Dominion (British), Philadelphia, May 1, for Liverpool; Virginie (French), New York, May 1, for Bordeaux; Canopic (British), Boston, May 2, for Naples; Bergensfjord (Norwegian), Bergen, May 5, for New York, Ryndum (Dutch), Rotterdam, May 8, for New York, and Niagara (French), Bordeaux, May 8, for New York. But two other vessels flying the American flag besides the New York are among the eighty-eight. They are the Leelanaw, which sailed from Galveston May 1 for Glasgow, and the Petralite, Philadelphia, April 20, for Copenhagen. The rest hall mostly from British an Scandinavian ports. U-39 Did the Work. Geneva.—A dispatch from Munich, Bavaria, received at Basel, says that the German submarine U-39 sank the Lusitania. There were great rejoices during the day in southern Germany. Children had a half holiday in honor of the event. "Hysteria gripped the women first, but men, too, lost their heads. Some women with infants in their arms caught on the boat fastenings and hampered the launching. "Ten boats were swung off. Lady Mackworth was picked up unconscious after being in the water three hours." Thomas estimated that the Lusitania did not stay above water more than 10 or 15 minutes from the time of being hit. "A dastardly outrage," he called it. "An outrage which deserves the condemnation of the entire civilized world." If the day had been rough, Thomas said, no one could have been saved.

Phone 931 Tulsa, Oklahoma Phone 2112 THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS In a bulletin prepared by the bureau of the census, which shows the standing of the Negro race in this country at the time of the last census, five facts stand out to the credit of Negroes, and to the country at large. The report shows an increasing tendency among Negroes toward home ownership, a marked increase in the percentage of schools, a decided decrease in the percentage of illiteracy, a decrease in the mortality rate, and an increase in the proportion of church membership. Another feature in connection with the report worthy of special notice is that all the work on it, including the preparation of the statistical tables, as well as the clerical work, was done by Negro employees of the department. In 1790 the Negro population of the United States was 757,208, which at that time was 19.3 per cent of the total population of the country. In 1910 the Negro population was 9,827,763, or 10.7 per cent of the total population. It should be remembered in this connection, however, that since 1810 there has been practically no Negro immigration into this country, while the white population has been constantly augmented by the inflow of immigrants from Europe. The report shows that 99.2 per cent of all Negroes in the United States in 1910 were natives of native parentage, while the remainder were of foreign or mixed foreign and native parentage. Thus it would appear that the race is in no danger from dying by the slow process of race suicide. For several years associations interested in the advancement of the Negro race have urged on southern Negroes the advantage of owning their homes. The Negro is naturally home-loving. He is not by nature inclined to rove from the place where he has attained maturity, yet it was found that the number of Negroes who owned their homes was small. This movement seems to have met with the approval of the Negroes, especially in the southern states. In 1910 there were in these states 1,917,391 Negro homes, of which 430,449, or 22.4 per cent, were owned by Negroes. In Virginia the percentage rises to 41.3, but the Negroes farther south appear to be slower to adopt the home-buying plan, for in Georgia the percentage drops to 14.7. The total increase, however, is substantial, and this is a hopeful sign which should give encouragement to all interested in the progress of the race. The world is accustomed to marvel at the progress made by the Japanese and by the Germans during the last half century, and rightly. But here in the United States a race has moved forward no less triumphantly. The drama of the American Negro's advancement, it is true, has not been accompanied by a military glamour with its martial music, nor has it had the literary stimulus of a great racial consciousness. But for all the quietness and unobtrusiveness of this upward movement, the victories of the Negro have an immense meaning for the welfare of the world. The Negroes have succeeded in the arts of peace. Individually, generation by generation, they have become more fit for the great struggle of contemporary life. They have accomplished the miracle of lifting a people en mass. For twenty years Hampton institute has been sending out into the South a band of well trained tailors—men who have not only been able to make good clothes, but also have been able to help their communities in church and Sunday school work, the management of boys' clubs and the improvement of civic conditions. Today one finds in positions of responsibility and trust Hampton trained tailors who, on account of their rigorous years of apprenticeship, have learned how to use their native powers. "Whether as journeymen or as proprietors, the tailors who have gone out from the school have done, on the whole, uncommonly well," says the Southern Workman. "That the South offers young Negroes an opportunity to succeed in the tailoring business is clear from the fact that many of the Hampton tradesmen have received, without difficulty and without prejudice, the patronage of some of the very best southern white people. Hampton has succeeded in the tailoring department in training men who cannot only make their fellows outwardly more attractive, but also better in character." Robinson Crusoe's immortal island, Juan Fernandez, now has communication with the mainland by wireless. Gray horses are the longest lived and cream colored ones the most affected by temperature changes. Contempt may also be defined as a merchant's attitude toward a package that wasn't tied up in his store. If there were anything in having a national reputation Harry Thaw would be one of our greatest men. While Washington stood at the head of the list with the highest Negro population of any city of the country in 1910, according to a bulletin made public by the census bureau, the percentage of increase in this population between 1900 and 1910 was much lower than that for any other city. New York, New Orleans, Baltimore and Philadelphia came next in the order in which they are named. The gain in the Negro population of Washington between 1900 and 1910 was 8.9 per cent. The greatest gain, both numerically and proportionally, was shown by Birmingham, Ala., the Negro population of which increased by 35,730, or 215.6 per cent. New York and Philadelphia showed the next largest numerical gains, 31,043 and 21,486, respectively, the rates of increase for these cities being 51.2 per cent and 34.9 per cent, respectively. The census bureau report, which was prepared by Negro employees of the bureau, points out that there is a tendency or the part of the Negroes to marry at earlier ages than the whites. The percentage of illiteracy among the Negro population ten years of age and over was 30.4 for the United States as a whole, as compared with 3.7 per cent for the native whites of native parentage. The continual improvement in educational opportunities offered to the Negro race, according to the bulletin, is shown by the fact that in almost every state and city the percentage of illiteracy among Negroes is consistently lower in the younger generations than in the older. Increases in the ownership of homes by the Negroes and decrease in the mortality is also noted by the bulletin. The colored race has no better friend than Mr. Julius Rosenwald of Chicago. It remained for this Jewish gentleman to see that Negroes were in need of Y. M. C. A. homes and to offer a liberal contribution for such buildings in every case where the organization raised a given amount by its own efforts. In Indianapolis, the Star of that city recalls, his gift was $25,000. He has made contributions for this purpose in a number of cities and is very well known for his benefactions in this line. Not so many know, however, of his gifts, or offered gifts, in another direction. Within the past year he volunteered to duplicate, up to $600, the money raised in any rural district in the South for Negro school buildings. It is too soon to know what response this offer will have, as systematic effort will be required by educational organizations and individual workers to circulate the news of this opportunity in the quarters where such help is most needed and it will take time and struggle to raise $600 in the rural neighborhoods of the South; yet the offer is not only help in the right place, but the stipulations will stimulate effort and interest of the right kind. Public schools in the South, even for white children, are far from what they should be, while Negroes are placed at a great disadvantage in most states of the region by an inequitable division of the school funds. If their children are educated at all in many districts it must be through private enterprise. If they are once provided with suitable school buildings, however, further steps in the undertaking will be easier. Mr. Rosenwald is serving the colored folk wisely and well. In the decade from 1900 to 1910 the number of homes owned by Negroes in the southern states increased by 102,912, or 31.4 per cent. In 1910 in Alabama 17,227 farm homes and 16,714 other homes—chiefly in urban communities—were owned by Negroes. In a Tuskegee pamphlet it is stated that 450,000 Negroes in the South are seriously ill all the time; that the annual cost of sickness of these 450,000 Negroes is $75,000,000; that one-half of this sickness is preventable; that the annual economic loss to the South from sickness and death among the Negroes is $300,000,000. This whole question is of great economic importance and the white people of the South should stand ready to assist the Negroes in this "better health movement." Friendship is essential to happiness. Even the man who is his own best friend can't get along very well without a few others. When a woman has no diamonds there is nothing she deplores so much as the vulgarity of people who wear diamonds. An election is also to be deplored for the reason that it gives every lazy man an excuse for quitting work. There are 217,586,892 Hindus, 66,647,299 Moslems, 10,721,453 Buddhists and 3,876,203 Christians in India. Boys and girls in Vienna under the age of fourteen have been ordered to serve as hospital orderlies. The rule is that if a woman sees much of her husband she must do it before she marries him.

But fortunately for the people of this country they have a sane, thoughtful president, who, notwithstanding the pressure of inflamed public opinion has set steady in the boat and with wonderful self-control advised his people to "keep calm." And now that public opinion is settling back to its normal state the actions of the Germans in torpedoing the Lusitania does not appear nearly so henious, although it was a deplorable calamity. Passengers on this vessel must have known of the warfare between Great Britain with her allies and the Germans, and they also knew that this ship belonged to England. They knew also that Germany had warned the world of her intentions concerning the merchant ships of England. It is charged that the Lusitania carried more than 5 million cases of ammunition, besides other contraband stuff. Among the calmer minder people of this country the opinion prevails that under the circumstances Germany had a right to destroy the Lusitania. It will be remembered that England had announced her intention of starving the Germans to death by cutting off heri food supply and had proceeded to carry out her threats when Germany offered to cease her submarine warfare if Great Britain would give up her starvation plans. This England refused to do. The sinking of the Lusitania, therefore, should not be regarded as an overt act against this country, but merely as an incident of war.

DAREDEVIL FOR MOVIES Capitalized His Neck to "Make Good" and Then Started Film Company of His Own—Parents Give New York.—Louis G. McPhee, Yale athlete, who became a daredevil for the movies in order to "make good" for the girl he loved, has retired from his perilous occupation and is now manager of a moving picture concern with headquarters in New York city. Incidentally he has won the approval of the McCann family to a marriage he contracted with Miss Dolores Grace McCann before he started on his career as a high diver. McPhee's romance began three years ago in Pleasantville, N. Y., where he was spending the summer months. One day he saw approaching a runaway team. In the carriage he saw a frightened young woman. McPhee leaped from his automobile, stopped the team and from that time he and Miss McCann were close friends. Three months later they were married, but Father McCann declared the union would never be approved until McPhee had "made good." Neck His Principal Asset. McPhee realized that he could not "make good" in a day and looked over his stock in trade. He recalled that while in Yale he won many prizes as a high diver. So he capitalized his neck and offered himself as a daredevil for the movies. McPhee's first feat was a leap from High Bridge, New York city, into the icy waters of the Harlem river, a distance of 138 feet. McPhee A man is painting a landscape with a cloudy sky in the background. Leaped Into the River a Second Time. made the leap, but broke three ribs, dislocated a jaw and suffered a hemorrhage of the threat. Despite his in juries he struggled to shore and received $500 for the trick, which required 1 minute and 48 seconds. His parents-in-law lived in constant dread lest McPhee's desperate method of making good would make their daughter a widow. His next feat was to leap from an aeroplane. Leaped From Express and Cliff. McPhee's final achievement before the camera eclipsed all former efforts. In this film he climbed over telegraph wires to the cross arm of a pole. There he hung suspended until a passenger train passed under him. He dropped to the roof of a coach and then leaped into the river as the train was crossing a bridge. Detectives still pursued and McPhee, cornered at the top of a 100-foot cliff, leaped into the river a second time. This film settled the career of McPhee as a high diver. He'll jump no more, as his parents-in-law feel that any man who will take such risks to 'make good' must love their daughter. QUIT JOBS AT WIVES' ORDER Spouses Accuse Two Workmen at Jail of Being "Honor Prisoners." Racine, Wis.-Two men employed at the court house quit their jobs be- cause they did not wish to be classed as "honor roll" jail prisoners. The men had sought employment at the court house because they had been laid off at factories. Their wives, read- ing an account of the employment of "honor" prisoners at the court house, accused their husbands of being under detention by the sheriff. Unable to convince the women to the con- trary, they were forced to resign.

DOG SAVES DRUNKEN MAN ON THE TRACK Despite Warning Barks, Engines Have Hit Canine's Master Morton, Wash.—Every night when Bert Bagley, son of the builder of the Tacoma Eastern line and engineer on the one passenger train a day between Tacoma and Morton, reaches this end there is a confab in the reading room of the Hotel Hilts. Last night Bert was telling about how many times he has struck with A dog is lying on the ground in a forest. A train is approaching from the left. The Dog Keeps Watch Over Him, his engine a certain homesteader living between Tanwax and Morgan Lake. In the most recent occurrence of this kind—and Bert hopes it is the last—the homesteader was lying on the end of the ties "dead to the world." The snow plough hit just right to shove him off the track and not injure him very badly. He was picked up and taken in to Kapowsin, and next morning was taken to Tacoma and tried for trespassing on railroad property. This makes seven times Engineer Bagley, has hit him, and other engineers on the road have struck him a total of as many more. The homesteader has a dog, and whenever he gets drunk and lies on the track the dog keeps watch and when a train is heard approaching the dog runs toward it barking and the engineers know the "master" is in the way.

GREENWOOD NE 5458 The Star PHONE 5458 PAGE FIVE PHONE 937 --- Nhone 4400 Pure Food Expert Investigates Grape-Nuts Before Grape-Nuts was included in the Pure Food Directory of the New York Globe, the publishers sent their expert, Alfred W. McCann, to get the facts about this famous cereal food—what it is made of, how it is made, and whether or not too much had been claimed for it. The makers have always held that Grape-Nuts is a body and brain building food; that it contains the vital mineral elements lacking in white flour, and foods made from white flour; that it digests more readily than any other prepared cereal food, etc. McCann came to Battle Creek at the Globe's expense. He investigated—had the run of the factory—up-stairs, down-stairs and all over the place. In the N. Y. Globe of April 1, 1915, he said: "Any man who can go to Battle Creek and come away with the statement that he is not amazed is given to the habit of bearing false witness against his neighbor. "I watched the delivery of the wheat to the Grape-Nuts bakery. It was selected wheat too. I watched the mills grind this wheat, and there was no patent flour stunt pulled off in grinding it, either. The wheat went right through the rolls and came out as honest and as unrefined as when it went in. I saw this wheat mixed with barley malt in a mixing room that is a model of cleanliness. "Grape-Nuts is an honest, genuine, wholesome, good, fool-proof breakfast food. "Grape-Nuts is all Post ever claimed for it. Instead of over-estimating the truth he didn't tell ten percent of it." There you have it! If you want to know more, write Alfred W. McCann, care N. Y. Globe, N. Y., or come to Battle Creek and see for yourself. There's no mystery about Grape-Nuts. This wonderful food DOES build body, brain and nerve tissue. It DOES furnish the vital mineral phosphates usually lacking in the daily dietary. It is easily digestible, economical, and comes ready to eat, fresh and delicious. Grape-Nuts PAGE SIX Modern High-Power Artillery Demands Peculiar Powder. Nations Have Various Ways of Making the Compound in the Style They Favor—Gunpowder Almost Pure Cotton. The lady who asked at the country store for "powder" was met with the polite query, "Face, gun or flea?" The first and third varieties are still what they were of yore, but gunpowder is really powder no longer, except when it is used for the manufacture of fireworks. That used for the modern high-power artillery is in the form of cylinders, sticks, or blocks, some of them of considerable size. A single grain of the powder, for instance, for the great 16-inch gun to be set up at Panama is as big round as a breaststick and three inches long. Germans make their power in strips that look like thick tape. They cut it off in lengths and the it up in bundles which fit into the breeches of their big guns. The British powder is made in long sticks which look like macaroni without the large single hole, while the French powder looks like flat pieces of chewing gum. The bigger the gun the bigger the grain of powder. For the rifles the men carry the grains are half as big as a pinhead; for the largest guns they are three inches long and three-quarters of an inch thick. Every grain is perforated lengthwise. Small grains have a single hole, while the larger sizes have seven. These holes regulate in a wonderful way the rapidity with which the powder will burn. If you light a scrap of paper all round the edge it will burn toward the center and the burning surface will steadily decrease. If, however, you make a hole in the center of the paper and start the conflagration there the flame will steadily grow, and the most rapid burning will take place just before the fire has reached the outer edge. This is the exact principle which governs the arrangement of the perforations in big gun powder. The burning starts along the surface exposed by the perforations, and spreads always faster as the hole is enlarged, burning fastest at the instant it is consumed. It is not intended that the charge in big guns shall exhaust its force instantly, says Mr. William Atherton Deputy, writing on "Powder for the World's Guns." The beginning of the explosion starts the projectile on its way. The explosion continues, and as the projectile gains speed the force behind it continues to push. The powder is burning fastest and pushing hardest at the instant the projectile reaches the mouth of the gun. At that instant also it burns out and exhausts itself. Its work is done. It is wonderful to reflect that gun powder is almost pure cotton. It requires but little juggling—scientific juggling, to be sure—to convert the harmless crop of the cotton field into the most effective of modern smokeless powders. Those big grains of cannon powder which look like pieces of stick candy are but cotton refined to this form and treated with nitrate. All nations make their powder of the same materials, the only difference being in the mechanical form the product takes. -Tit-Bits. A sentry was giving close attention to his post in the neighborhood of a British army camp in England, challenging stragglers late after dark. The following is reported as an incident of his vigil: "Who goes there?" called the sentry at the sound of approaching footsteps. "Coldstream guards!" was the response. "Pass, Coldstream guards!" rejoined the sentry. "Who goes there?" again challenged the sentry. "Forty-ninth Highlanders!" returned the unseen pedestrian. "Pass, Forty-ninth Highlanders!" "Pass, Forty-ninth Highlanders!" "Who goes there?" sounded a third challenge. "None of your infernal business!" was the husky reply. "Pass, Canadians!" acquiesced the sentry. —Omaha World-Herald. A little boy was sitting on one of the benches of Central park, watching some of the people ride the donkeys. An exceedingly fat woman hired a donkey and was about to mount when she saw the small boy and said to him: "Little boy, don't you want me to hire a donkey for you?" "No, thank you. I'd rather sit here and laugh."—May Young's Magazine. "I suppose you want to hear both sides of the war question?" "No, the finish of it." Ignorance is more apt to stimulate argument than wisdom.

KAISER ACCUSED AS A MURDERER CORONER'S JURY PLACES BLAME FOR WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER OF INNOCENTS. EXPLOSION OCCURED INTERNALLY president Wilson, In Philadelphia Speech, Intimates Attitude of America Toward German Method of "Warfare." London.—The Cunard line steamship Lusitania, which was sunk last week off Old Head Kinsale by a submarine, was struck by only one torpedo, according to the testimony of Captain Turner of the steamer, given at the coroner's Inquest at Kinsale. But this deadly missile found a vital spot and sent the liner to the bottom in less than twetny minutes, carrying with her over a thousand souls. The evidence of Captain Turner, which cleared up many other points concerning the disaster, and that of other members of the crew of the vessel with a general knowledge of the situation led the jury to bring in a verdict of "wholesale murder" against the German emperor and his government and the officers of the submarine directly responsible for the sinking of the ship. Second Explosion Internal. Meanwhile the cause for the heavy loss of life, the absence of any naval escort for the threatened vessel, and the suddenness with which she sank. ```markdown ``` - "We find that the deceased met death from prolonged immersion and exhaustion in the sea eight miles south-southwest of Old Head Kinsale, Friday, May 7, 1915, owing to the sinking of the Lusitania by torpedoes fired by a German submarine. - "We find that this appalling crime was committed contrary to international law and the convention of all civilized nations. - "We also charge the officers of said submarine and the emperor and government of Germany under whose orders they acted, with the crime of wholesale murder before the tribunal of the civilized world. --- afford room for much speculation. Captain Turner in declaring that one torpedo did all the damage, said the second explosion which the passengers heard was an internal one and that the engines having been put out of commission it was impossible to stop the Lusitannia and permit her boats bein glowered properly. On the question of why no naval escort accompanied the Lusitania, Mr. Churchill explained in the house of commons that the policy of the admiralty is that merchantmen must look after themselves. This policy is due to the fact that the admiralty had not sufficient destroyers to escort all merchant ships, they being required to guard the continuous stream of transports from England to France and to protect the English coast from German raids. President Wilson Speaks. Philadelphia. — President Wilson gave to a gathering of four thousand naturalized Americans the first intimation of what course the government will pursue in the situation resulting from the loss of more than a hundred American lives on the British liner Lusitania. He spoke by implication but his hearers interpreted his remarks as meaning that while the United States would remain at peace it would seek to convince Germany of the injustice to mankind of the tragedy of last Friday. "America" said the president, "must have the consciousness that on all sides it touches elbows and touches hearts with all nations of mankind. The example of America must be a special example and must be an example not merely of peace because it will not fight, but because peace is a healing and elevating influence of the worldand strife is not. "There is a thing as a man being too proud to fight. There is such a thing as being so right that it does not need to convince others by force that it is right." Frank's Execution June 22. Atlanta—Leo M. Frank again was sentenced to be hung on June 22 for the murder of Mary Phagan, a factory girl. Sentence was passed by Judge Ben H. Hill of the Fulton county superior court. Mary Phagan was killed on April 26, 1913. Retior sentence was pronounced. Frank made a statement to the court reiterating his declarations of innocence. No date has been set as yet by the Georgia prison commission hearing on Frank's petition for commutation of the death sentence to imprisonment. THE VERDICT.

Judge Martin, as a young lawyer and on first arrival in Chicago, thought himself fortunate in gaining an introduction to Judge Gary—the Gary who tried the anarchists. The judge took a shine to the young chap and proposed a game of billiards, wherein Martin made a technical error that he remembered for long. Gary played an old man's game, and Martin then as now, was particularly handy with a cue. Picture a contest of thirty-four points with four balls on a 4½ by 9 table. The judge (barely bending), with a childish bridge and a nerveless stroke, missed his first shot. Martin, in shiftsleeves, crouched over the table like a jockey piloting a winner, and applied himself to rolling up a run. He had counted fifteen or twenty when he turned and saw the judge disappearing through the door and moving with ruffled dignity.

A most delicious pudding of fresh or canned fruit may be made by covering the fruit with a thin crust of baking powder biscuit. Then when served turn upside down, season with nutmeg, add bits of butter and sugar, if needed, and a bird's-nest pudding is ready. A most delicious hot bread is made by rolling out the dough, spreading with butter and sprinkling with maple sugar grated, roll up and cut in pin wheels, sprinkle with cinnamon and bake. These will delight the little people. Nuts and brown sugar may be substituted for the maple if so desired. Cheese sticks are made in the same way only the dough rolled thin, spread with cheese and cut in narrow strips and baked. Biscuit mixture mixed, rich and soft, and dropped into greased muffin pans to bake, giving them a nice brown crust with very little inner crumb, are delicious served with honey or with orange marmalade. They may be broken open, buttered and a little marmalade added and then serve with tea. Nuts added to baking powder mixture, or both nuts and raisins, and baked in a loaf, make most appetizing sandwiches when cut a day old. Turnover pies of various kinds, using any small bits of left-over fruit, is another use to be made of this same mixture. Tarts cut in the old-fashioned way that our grandmothers made them, and filled with a jewel of jelly will delight any palate. Prunes, figs, dates and raisins added to a loaf of the mixture makes a good fruit bread that is a pleasant change from the everyday kind. Rolled thin like cookies and cut with a cookie cutter, two put together with a filling of cooked dates and baked is another delicious cake. Cinnamon bars, sugar and butter spread over a thinly rolled baking powder crust, cut in narrow strips and baked makes a nice little cake to serve with a salad or a cup of tea or chocolate.

A wicked turtle had for years been troublesome to the inhabitants of the marsh in which he dwelt. He bit the legs off frogs, ate fish with relish, and occasionally grabbed hold of a snake and held on until it thundered. Finally the animals held a court and tried the turtle on the charge of murder. The turtle was there, with his harveyized shell in perfect repair and covered with moss an inch thick. He apparently enjoyed the deliberations of the judicial body, and was observed to smile at various times. The judgment of the court was that the turtle should be hanged by the neck until he was dead. When this decision was announced there was great cheering, and the court officers prepared to put the sentence into execution at once. They prepared a noose and approached the turtle. That astute tortoise drew his head back inside his shell and chuckled merrily at the inability of the executioners to carry out the sentence of the court. Moral—In these days turtles bribe grand juries or employ good attorneys. DREADFUL PAINS GREAT SUFFERING Was the Lot of This Lady Who Tells The Story of How She Recovered Her Health. Dallas, N. C.—Mrs. Thomas Davis, of this place, says: "About two years ago, when I was eighteen years old, I was in a bad condition from womanly troubles. I fell off until I weighed not more than 85 lbs.

I couldn't sleep at night, and the pains were so dreadful I couldn't lie down for the blood would seem to rush to my head. I felt I must have some relief, for it seemed that the awful suffering would surely kill me. I had read of what Cardul had done for others, and thought I would try it. After the use of one bottle, the pains had entirely stopped and I was able to sleep. After using four bottles, I was a well woman, I was regular, I got back my flesh, and I now weigh 126 lbs.; and am able to do all my work without any trouble. I certainly recommend Cardui to suffering women, for I know it cured me. My friends who saw me when I weighed 85 pounds and would see me now, would know what Cardul had done for me."

Jack McGreevy, the vaudeville entertainer, was reared in a southern locality where the population was largely black and where the older darkies were invariably respectful. A part of their deference, says McGreevy, was to inquire as to the health of the family of anyone who addressed them, even if he were a stranger. Thus an elderly negro was at work in the fields not far from a fair grounds where a parachute jump was a part of the entertainment. The jumper, a girl, had gone up in a balloon and had encountered a wind which blew her some distance before she cut loose, and when she landed it was only a few feet from the old uncle with the hoe.

The same night the wedding was to be pulled off the young lady left for Memphis, Tenn., without notifying the young man that she had decided to not marry. The following morning Mr. Collins received a letter from the young lady, stating that she had gone to be with her people, and that the wedding was declared off so far as she was concerned. Mr. Collins to his surprise was grief stricken from the result of this letter, and the whole of Muskogee joins him in his sorrow. Prof. J. L.

I wondered why this subject should be assigned me; but after quickly reflecting I said perhaps it is because I have a little girl nearing the age of puberty; and as all mothers and respectable petsons know that sometime in life girls are to be wooed and wedded, and to enter into matrimonial life without some experience of the care of children by precept or example, she would be totally unfit to master the situation. For within a few years doubtless the great calamity (should I be allowed to use the word calamity) of child-bearing will take place. While there are some exceptions. But long, long in after years when we have reached our heights and are on the decline, we would be gla dto have one child to embrace us tenderly, even when passing out of this life. I assure you that it is with much pleasure, that I have accepted this number of our Programme Committee to discuss before this d'instinguished assembly of Ladies, the above named subject. It is however, possible that the committee who made this assignment intended that the discussion should have special reference to girls. But knowing as I do, that the Negro women of America can not stay in the home and train our children as our Caucasian sisters, that we have to go out and help fight this battle of life, I would that the subject had of read this: "What girls and boys should know of the care of children before marriage." Alow me to say that I have a husband and he is not hen-pecked either. But I think that both the girl and boy should be taught the care of children. The girl should be taught every detail of the care of children, beginning with conception, some doubtless would think that this was premature, but I venture to say, that if we as mothers had been taught along this line, our children by nature would have been better. I have heard the phrase used. That women should begin to train their children four years before they are born; to which I say Amen. Girls should really know that as they are in a measure their offspring shall be, that their lives are transmissible. They should know that the Bible says that a woman should be a joyful mother of children and by so doing they are not committing a social evil. They should know well the laws of hyviene, this is the real foundation of a happy child. They should know what diets should be given children in proportion to their ages and at what times they should be changed. So many mothers ignorantly yet innocently have caused their little infants to fill premature National Life Insurance co Why not secure the three for what other Companies charge for Health and Accident Insurance alone?

Y.—Twenty-one years ago Adam Rundal of Lestershire obeyed his wife's request to go downtown on Saturday night to get groceries for Sunday. He returned home late Tuesday night with the groceries on the list which his wife gave him 21 years ago. He knocked at the door and then walked in. His daughter, grown to womanhood, met him and screamed in fright, thinking him a burglar. He A man in a coat and hat stands in front of a table, facing a woman in a floral hat. The table is set with various items, including glasses, a plate, and a bowl. In the background, there are other people seated at the table. reassured her, and told her he was her father and asked for her mother. The girl told him her mother was at dinner at a downtown restaurant with friends. Rundal found the restaurant and entered, picking out his wife from the members of the party. Walking up to her he said: "Hello, Anna! I've brought the groceries home. Let's go up and have supper." The wife fainted, but a man at her side ordered Rundal to get out. "Why?" asked Rundal. "Because she's my wife," replied the other, Henry Pickering, who married Mrs. Rundal, ten years ago after all hope of Rundal's return had been given up. Rundal was on the floor when a policeman arrived. Later he was arraigned in police court. "I just went away," he told the judge. "I went to Warren Center, Pa., where I've been ever since. I thought I'd like to see my family again and came home." "Go back to Warren Center and never come to Lestershire again. You are discharged," said the judge. ner Hotel Twine Bldg, 211 So.
