STRADFORD IN THE EAST STRADFORD IN THE EAST Editor of the Tulsa Star: *Dear Sir.*—Since I wrote my last letter to you, I find that the sunlight of civilization has begun to shed its resplendent rays in the dark and benighted state of Oklahoma; the sun kissed the heavenless land of the fair Gods. I have always contended that the white man will have to give a better excuse to the Colored citizens of this republic sooner or later for his treatment of them, e. g. Jim Crowing, taking his vote away from him and general discrimination such as abuse, pillage, burning, lynching and rapine. I am friendly to the belief that this country is setting on a volcano and the eruption is not far distant. The foe may be foreign, of which I have no doubt, with ten millions of its citizens aiding and abetting the foe this country will be doomed to destruction and ruin. The good book says that if a house divides against itself it cannot stand. Chief Justice White, a southern man and his associates realizing the gravity of the situation faced the issue without a dissenting opinion and declared that the law was in direct opposition to the 15th amendment to the Constitution of the U. S., which granted the rights of suffrage to the Colored man. The black race is not responsible for being here, nor is it responsible for being God Almighty's natural bouquet, for the laws which are enacted for its government. But since the burdens of citizenship has been placed upon him he should not be deprived of the rights of citizenship. A Dago, a Chimman, a Jap, an Indian or a what-not has the rights of citizenship, chair cars and all other accommodations are provided for the white man and his ilk while a dirty quarter of a coach is provided for the Colored race and a box car should be furnished for the Indians, so far as appearance and culture is concerned. It is the duty of every state in this union to remove from its statute books every black law. It is the duty of every citizen be he black or white to defend the constitution and to act in perfect accord with the laws and executors of the laws of the country. And when the eruption comes, we can gladly take up arms to fight the foe, for our flag, for our country and for what our forefathers bled and died on the many battle fields of this country, not until a man is as secure from mob law and violence on the southern banks of the Mississippi as he is on the banks of the Kennebec river in Maine, will this government have completed its mission. I had the pleasure to attend the republican state convention which convened in Lexington on or about June 15th, and listened with delight to the oratory of those spellbinding Kentuckians and especially that of Judge Morrow. It was the most hor SUCCESSOR TO THE MUSKOGEE STAR TULSA, OKLAHOMA, SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1915 monious convention I ever attended. There was only one question that seemed to have any division. Statewide prohibition on the one side and the county-unit law on the other. Dunlap in advocating the county unit law said, what he wore and what he drank what he eat and what church he attended were not political questions. The convention agreed with Mr. Dunlap and the county unit law was adopted. The black man was well represented. He occupied a place in all the district delegations on the stage and in the galleries and the relationship was perfectly agreeable. Indianapolis was the next place visited. Of all the cities which I have visited, the greatest of them all is Indianapolis. I shall not attempt to tell of all of her virtues, and advantages, which are opened to our people for time and space will not admit. But my deductions from a careful observation and investigation have convinced me that the statement above is unqualifiedly correct. Many changes have occurred since I lived there. And many of my friends, acquaintances, and relatives have passed into the world beyond, but slowly and surely the race is making wonderful strides in the advancement of civilization especially morally and financially. I spent one day in St. Louis, conditions are much better there than they were when I lived there, for our people. The whit people all over the large cities of the U. S. are awakening to a sense of their duties to our people and are furnishing parks, Y. M. C. A., libraries and other needful things. Muskogee News (By Staf Correspondent.) The Fourth, last Sunday, was almost cold enough for skating, but not a few of our citizens were abroad in their Palm Beach suits. The Rev. A. C. Roker, pastor of the St. Phillips Episcopal Mission, who was recently ordained as a full fledged priest, officiated last Sunday for the first time in serving sacrament. The Rev. Roker is a faithful and energetic worker in his church and he is now planning to organize a ladies' guild. A Federation of the women missionaries of the five Methodist churches of Muskogee has been affected and a series of meetings with appropriate programs at each of the churches is announced.

The Macedonian Baptist Church is to install its new pastor with appropriate ceremonies on July 11. The Rev. Pickens will preside and Rev. McClendon will officiate in the installation. Quite a large audience greeted Rev. Nicholson of Bebee Chapel last Sunday and the contributions toward the $600.00 rally were very satisfactory. Under the auspices of the local branch of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored people, Prof. Wm. Pickens, graduate of Yale and well known Negro orator, delivered a lecture at the Y M. C. A. hall last Tuesday evening. Cute an enthusiastic audience greeted Urof.

Mr. Guillory is one of the most experienced men in Oklahoma in secret society work, and he has also had a wide experience in financial affairs of benevolent and insurance organizations. Mr. Guillory is a man of unblemished character and reputation and Oklahoma will honor itself by elevating him to this post.

J.—Revognition has come to J. C. Edwards of this city by the state and city government. He is one of the commissioners to represent this state at the Exposition to be held during the month of July, August in Richmond, Virginia. Mr. Edwards is a member of the National Negro Press Association, and is an executive committeeman from this state.

The revival at the Baptist church is in rapid progress. Several have been added to the church. More than 20 have been added since the revival. Rev C. J. Jennings P. C., is conducting the meeting. There was quite an exciting time down in the Y in the Colored section of the city last Thursday evening, when Mrs. Mienie Nichols fired two shots into the body of her husband Mr. Ira Nichols. One shot took effect in the leg breaking the bone and the other in the breast. It was reported serious but Mr. Nichols is resting very well now, while his wife is still confined in the county jail.

Subscription $1.00 Per Year nt Week INUES HER CHING RECORD Mob Murders Innocent Man And His Son; No Arret Is Made of Lynchers Macon, July 5.—An all-day search by officers and an armed posse of farmers failed today to reveal the whereabouts of the negro slayers of Sillas Turner, a prominent planter of Jones county, who was shot Sunday near Round Oak. Two negroes were killed by infuriated friends of Turner shortly after the murder, but quiet prevailed in the county tonight, and the authorities said they expected no further trouble. Sheriff Etheridge said he had heard that several negroes had been killed in the race riot Sunday night, but that he had seen the bodies of only two, Alzon Green and his young son of Wayside. "They had nothing to do with the murder of Turner," added the sheriff. The above excerpt shows conclusively the dangerous proportions mob violence has assumed in Georgia, as in every other state where those in authority have winked at it and failed to do their duty as officers and as good citizens. It is a common thing in Georgia for mobs to form and ruthlessly murder men, women and children, and they run no risk of receiving punishment so long as its victims are Negroes. This state of lawlessness has existed in Georgia for years and the attempted lynching of Gov. Slaton recently by an infuriated mob of murderers was a natural result of a well established habit which years of practice had made almost irresistible, and which came very nearly reaching a climax as a crime. When the governor himself was threatened, garded that the state militia was So dangerous was the situation recalled out to protect the governor from death at the hands of a mob. Think of this terrible conditio not affairs in great America—the United States and we smile with disdain, scorn and contempt at our boasted civilization, and frown in shame upon our institutions of justice which tolerate these conditions. Mob law is dangerous and will undermine the foundations of any government that permits it. Unless this monster is subdued in this country serious trouble is sure to follow. Lynching innocent men, women and children cannot continue much longer in any part of this country without arousing the blood of the people so unwantonly wronged. A terrible volcano is smoldering under the foundations of this government, and unless the lawlessness of mobs is soon stamped out and the majesty of the law reigns supreme hell will break loose in Dixie some fine morning, and another revolution will be on. If the state governments cannot stop mob violence, the federal government should stop it. At any cost it must be stopped. Old Citizen Dead Probably one of the most impressive funeral sermons ever heard in Tulsa was preached at the A. M. E. church last Monday by Rev. Jas. A. Johnson, over the remains of Ben Lofton, some sixty years old who died at Norman last Saturday and was brot to Tulsa where for twenty-five years he had lived the busy life of a progressive citizen to be buried. During his lifetime Mr. Lofton was loved by all who knew him for his integrity. A few months ago he joined the A. M. E. church intimating at the time that he realized that his time was short. About a month ago following a spell of illness which he could not throw off and doubtless worrying over his business resopsibilities. He lost his mind and was taken to Norman where he remained until his death last week. He leaves a devoted wife, a daughter and several other relatives. The Star extends sincere sympathy to the family. = A PAGE FOR LADIES OF FASHION = Nellie Maxwell Tells ee A Department ( Bottomley’s of things new and delicious | Devoted to the Personal Latest Ideas on Inter- to tempt the Palate / Interests of National Fashions === The Lady Friends of the Tulsa Star== orn The simple and less inexpenntve dessert appeals to the housekeeper who has all of her own work to do and during the heated term she t Fs wise to make her work i As light as possible. ‘The | following desserts are not hard to prepare and y are within reason ax to gee” y cxbense ons Charlotte Russe.

Women were beginning to feel that russet and tan leather were not to take part in the shoe-and-slipper game this season; but now they may rejoice, for these two shades promise to be very fashionable among the ultra-smart “women. It is noticeable, however, that these colors are usually employed in con- nection with leather of another color.

Washington.—The Dominion freight liner Armenian, flying the British flag and carrying mules from Newport News, Va., to England, was torpedoed and sunk by the German submarine U-28 off Cornwall, England, and nearly a score of American muleteers aboard are lost, according to messages re- ceived by the state department from Consul John S. Armstrong, Jr. at Bristol, Twenty-nine men were lost and ten injured. The news created a sensation in official quarters, as it was the first case of loss of American lives since the sinking of the Lusitania, The gravity of the incident, however, and the action of the Washington govern- ment depends almost entirely on whether the Armenian was chartered by the British goverament: and was in fact a transport of war, aboard which Americans would sail at their own risk or whether she was an un- armed merchantman, In the lattes case, even though carrying contra- band, the ship should have been sub- Jected to visit and search and those aboard transferred to a place of safety before the destruction of the vessel. From the messages received it ap- pears that in addition to the torpedo at least one shot was fired from a disappearing rifle. The consul's re- port said the wireless was “taken by the second shot.” It was not made clear whether the Armenian was first ordered to halt and resisted capture, requiring a second shot, or whether the submarine attacked without warn- ing. The fact that the number of the submarine was given indicated that she had come to the surface to make the attack. STRIKE COMPROMISE IS REFUSED Big Lockout of Chicago Building Trades Is On. Chicago.—Striking carpenters made an offer to the employers to return to work at 65 cents an hour, the old scale, if the contractors would agree to use ‘only Chicago materials. ‘The offer was rejected. Failure of the carpenters and con- teactors to agroe on terms of arbitra- tion resulted in the allied materials manufacturers making good their threat to shut down, throwing 200,000 employes out of work, in additica to the 16,000 carpenters who have been on strike for two months, Edward Hines, president of the lum- ber company which bears his name, said that his company would lay. off 1,000 en inmdefinitely. As spokes- men for the committee of manufactur- ers he said: “The time for a finish fight between capital and labor to force arbitration in all disputes has arrived. We are de- termined to stick by the principle of arbitration which the carpenters have stood out against,” ‘The carpenters offered to accept the 65 cent rate on a three years’ contract, if the contractors would eliminate the rule governing the importation of build- ing material. This rule permits the purchase of building material in any market, The carpenters, owing to the fact that different wage scales obtain in different cities, insist that all build- ing material used in Chicago shall be purchased there, A total of over 200,000 en are min+ Wolved DECREASE FROM 1914 NEARLY 6,000,000 SAYS GOVERN.

Laredo, Texas.—Three hundred Car- ranza soldiers and their wives and children were killed, and several hun- dred injured in the wreck of a military train near Montemorelos, between Tampico and Monterey, according to an American who arrived here from the interior. The accident took place ten days ago he said. ‘The engineer, it was said, was pro- ceding slowly, claiming the track was in poor condition, Sometime before nearing Montemorelos, it was said, the major in charge of the troops Placed @ pistol to the hea of the en- gineer, demanding full speed, The en- gineer complied and just before reach- ing Montemorelos the train left the track. Passengers and crew fell with the train tmto a small canyon and many literally were ground to death beneath the wreckage, the American declared.

Robles Declares At El Paso That A Peace Conference Will Be Held By Villa and Obregon, Washington.-In the absence of di rect reports from Mexico City, which for nearly ten days has been cut off by rail and wire from the outside world, there is much anxiety in of- ficial quarters concerning conditions in the old capital and its vicinity. From previous dispatches it is known that the food supply is short and that the danger of military operations being carried into the city itself has caused grave apprehension among foreigners. Gen. Marcelo Caraveo, Ike Alderete and Frank Alderete were also arrested by federal officers in connection with the Huerta plot and released under heavy bonds. ‘The state dopartment’s Intest ad: vices regarding the situation are to the effect that General Carranza is massing a large number of troops and expects to take the city within two or three days. He has isued instructions to protect non-combatants, Officials were gratified with press ‘dispatches indicating that the diplo- matic corps was active in trying to ar range for the safety of foreigners in case of fighting in the city, and for the protection of private property in the event of an evacuation. The Wash ington government is relying on the initiative of the Brazilian minister and other diplomatists to take care ol emergencies without awaiting instruc Uons. A report that the Zapata govern ment archives have been removed | from Mexico City to Cuernavaca and that trains for the transportation of troops from the capital are held in readiness, emanated from the head: quarters of General Pablo Gonzales, — After being denied an interview with President Wilson, who is at Cornish, N. Hamp., General Felipe Angeles, vet- eran of many an artillery duel in Mex: ican battles and the right hand man os General Villa, came to Washington to deny intinations that he was Jpvoreed in the activities of Victoriano Huerta and his assistants and at the same time to learn the sentiment of officials gen- erally toward the Mexican problem. Robles Says Peace Is In Sight. El Paso.—Jose Isabel Robles, minis- ter of war in the cabinet of Eulallo Gutierrez, announced here that the leaders of the two larger warring fac: tions have agreed to discuss peace terms, perhaps within two weeks, Since the overthrow of Gutierrez’s government Kobles has not been iden- tifled with either Villa or Carranza factions, and was chosen by those anx- fous to end the War as an intermediary, according to his story. Robles has not revealed any terms of agreement he claims to have brought about, but says that by the middle of July Villa will be on the border and will be met by Obregon, the two sanctioning the conference that then will be held, Advices received by officials of the Mexican National railways state that Villa's army is fighting desperately on the defensive thirty miles south of Aguas Calientes.

Scutari was an object of contention between Montenegro and the great powers during the Balkan war, The Montenegrin forces on April 23, 1913, captured the city after a seven months siege. The powers had decided to include Scutari in the future state of Albania and had offered compensa- tlon to King Nicholas and the money and land on condition that he give up Scutari, he Montenegrin king an- nounced that he would hold Scutart Against the powers and as a result the international naval blocake of the Montenegrin coast was extended. ‘The piano practico of a girl is muste to her ma only.

So far as he is concerned, there is peace. Death always brings peace, and though it came to him at his own bidding, it is still peace, and may it abide with him forever. IF TULSAPUSHES FORWARD under the present administration most of us will soon forget the men responsible for it. If it retards and is pronounced a failure we will never forget them. "A hint to the wise is sufficient." WHEN A MAN allows a cunning, designing woman to make a fool out of him it is almost useless, as a rule, for his best friends to advise him. He is like a drunken man—knows more than any one can tell him. "What fools some mortals be." THE SOREHEAD FANATIC who is not satisfied with the prosperity of his town or any worthy enterprise of the town, who is always finding fault with the city officials, or some imaginary nuisance is a boni-fide pest and should be dealt with accordingly.

LET NO ONE deceive themselves or allow others to deceive them concerning The Star. Remember, in spite of predictions that we would fail inside of three, six or eight months, and malicious and libelious assaults made upon us by our enemies, we are still in the business, and The Star continues to fight your cause just as it has been for more than two years. THE SADDEST AND BITTEREST TIME in the life of the American Negro is that time each year when he is called on to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars into the treasury of a government in which he has little or no representation. Surely this is enough to arouse the spirit that empelled the "Boston Tea Party" but for the Negro's patience and forbearance. THERE ARE A GREAT NUMBER OF NEGRO DEMOCRATS in Oklahoma who believe in the principles of true democracy and they will vote for DEMOCRATS who conform to the true principles of that party. If Negroes who vote the republican ticket and the democratic ticket alike will vote for MEN who are favorably disposed toward them as a race, the rabid loggerhead democrat and the prune-fed "Lilly White" republican would soon be consigned to a peaceful eternal oblivion and the political and economic condition of this state would advance accordingly.

DOCTOR'S BILL NOT DREADED United States Consul Deedmeyer, Stationed at Prague, Enumerates Physicians' Rates. According to a report from United States Consul Frank Deemmeyer, stationed at Prague, one may at least be ill in Austria and not dread the exorbitant doctor's bill that follows: "The city of Prague, with a population of about 600,000, has only about 800 physicians, or one for every 7,500 persons. A doctor charges for a daytime call in the middle class family only 60 cents or ten cents more than if the patient calls on him in his office. For a night call the doctor receives from $1.20 to $2, according to the distance. Only professors at the clinics of the two local universities charge more, receiving from two to four dollars for a house call and two dollars for an office visit. As in this country, the physicians give only prescriptions. "At most of the hospitals under the control of the Roman Catholic association," continues Mr. Deedmeyer, "treatment and care are entirely free. Nurses at the hospitals are paid 80 cents a day for the first year, with an annual increase of 20 cents a month; at sanitariums, from six to eight dollars a week; at private houses, from eight cents to one dollar a day, board being always included for all nurses. "About 100 dentists practice in this city. The average charges are: Drawing one tooth, 40 cents; cement filling, 60 cents to $1; amalgam filling, 80 cents to $2, etc." "The annual incomes of these professional men are estimated as follows: Head professors in charge of clinics, salary paid by the government, $1,400 to $1,600, and $5,000 to $11,000 from private practice; other professors at clinics, salary paid by the government, $1,000, and from private practice, $4,000 to $10,000; general medical practitioners not attached to any clinic, $3,000 to $3,500; the average income of a dentist being $5,000." DIET FOR THE WAR HORSES Quantity of Oats Is Restricted to Make the German Supply Go Further. The German government has restricted the quantity of oats which may be given to a horse to $2\frac{1}{2}$ to $3\frac{1}{2}$ pounds daily, and German horse owners are afraid that this restriction will injuriously affect the health and usefulness of their animals. In a recent issue of the Berlin Lokal Anzeiger, Doctor Klinger, city veterinary, shows that these fears are groundless. His experiments, carried on during many years with large numbers of horses, convinced him that maize forms a very satisfactory substitute for oats. At present, however, maize is as scarce as oats, so that some other substitute must be found. The most obvious one is potatoes, which are very abundant and have been stored in great quantities by all German communities. Potatoes differ from maize, chiefly in containing a little less starch and considerably less digestible albumen. The deficiency in starch can be met by increasing the ration, and the deficiency in albumen can be compensated by adding a small quantity of some food that is rich in albumen. Gangway.

The matter of getting it to Manila and exporting it regularly is the principal problem in the situation to be solved, says Mr. Arnold.

Health Bathe Hiking Best Gripe Killer. The epidemic of influenza that has been troubling the city for nearly a month continued last week, according to a mortality bulletin issued yesterday by the board of health. The statement says there were 35 deaths in the city last week from this cause, or 20 more than the number for a single week of 1914. Deputy Health Commissioner Emerson says the best way to avoid catching influenza is to walk a mile in the open air twice a day. It will add ten years to a person's life, the doctor asserts. The number of deaths reported during the week was 1,778, compared with 1,566 in the corresponding week of 1914, the death rate increasing from 14.63 to 15.98 per 1,000 of population. Despite the epidemic of influenza the death rate for the first 16 weeks of the year, 14.66, is .81 below the mortality for a similar period of 1914. New York Sun. Spain Fixes Price of Flour. El Imparcial, one of the leading dailies of Madrid, states this morning that the government has sold 25,000 metric tons of Argentine wheat to flour mills at 355 pesetas per ton (about $65.50 per short ton at today's exchange, $1 equaling 4.92 pesetas). Liberal credit has been given and the mills have agreed not to raise the present price of flour, which is 477 pesetas per metric ton (about $88 per short ton at today's exchange). It is noted that wheat is converted into flour at a selling price of the latter that is an increase of 34 1-3 per cent over purchase price of the former.—Consul Robertson Honey, Madrid. O. Yes; Quite Often. After some skillful maneuvering about to get a seat at the picture show where a post would not inrude, the Grouch settled down to at least a half hour of unobstructed view. "At last," he told himself, "I shall get something for my money." Then came a pleasant demand from one of the ushers: "Please move over one to make two seats for these ladies." The grouch, being helpless, did so. Perhaps you know how it is. Kid Raising for Gloves. Before the war the peasants of many a little village made a living by raising kid to supply the gloves for which France has long been famous. The perfection of the skins is considered by the French manufacturers to be the keynote of the perfect glove. Their method is to have one workman handle the prepared kid from the time it is brought in until the gloves which are shaped from that kid are entirely finished. 120 N.

Game in season ::: ::: ::: Mrs. James Cherry Phone 1255 THE TULSA STAR MAKE FIGHT ON ILLITERACY Settlement Worker Tells of Her Experience in New York's East Side —Law Disregarded. A friend has recently given to me the letters which I wrote regularly to her family during the first two years of my life in New York's East side, Lillian D. Wald writes in Atlantic. I had almost forgotten, until these letters recalled it to me, how often Miss Brewster and I mourned over the boys and girls who were not in school, and over those who had already gone to work without any education. Almost everyone has had knowledge at some time of the chagrin felt by people who cannot read or write. One intelligent woman of my acquaintance, born in New York state, ingeniously succeeded for many years in keeping the fact of her illiteracy secret from the people with whom she lived on terms of intimacy, buying the newspaper daily and making a pretense of reading it. We had naively assumed that elementary education was given to all, and were appalled to find entire families unable to read or write, even though some of the children had been born in America. The letters remind me, too, of the efforts we made to get the children we encountered into school—day school or night school, public or private—and how many different people reacted to our appeals. The department of health, to facilitate our efforts, supplied us with virus points and authority to vaccinate, since no unvaccinated child could be admitted to school. Since those days New York city has established a school census and has almost perfected a policy whereby all children are brought into school; but throughout the state there are communities where the compulsory education law is disregarded. The federal census of 1910 shows in this Empire state, in the counties (Franklin and Clinton) inhabited by the native born, illiteracy far in excess of that in the counties where the foreign born congregate. OFFICER'S LIFE IN TRENCHES Sunny Days of Late Have Made It Far More Comfortable to Sit Outside of His Dug-Out. An officer of the Guards writes to the London Times: "Life has become far more livable in the trenches. The sunny days we have been having lately have been glorious, and it has been quite nice sitting outside a dugout and feeling nice and warm. Very different in January, when it seemed to rain every day. It was so disheartening then as well, because all the work we put in on the trenches one day had disappeared after a wet night, and we had to set to work all over again. Last night I went out with two men to examine the state of the ground in front of our trenches. It was quite exciting work. To begin with, one of those beastly flares which light up all the ground round was sent up by the Germans just as I was going over the parapet. I had got one leg each side at the moment, so there was nothing for it but to sit tight where I was. These flashes are very comforting on a dark night when you are safely inside your trench, but the disadvantage of them is that they give the other side just the same advantage of seeing if the ground is clear. While we were out last night we came across a sniper's lair which we hadn't spotted from our lines. When we first saw it we thought it might be inhabited still, but there turned out to be no Hun present at the moment. He won't have found it so pleasant, if he has been there today, as, of course, we marked down the place and have been shoot ing at it today." All Under Suspicion. Here is a good story from the front. There have been so many cases of German spies masquerading in English uniforms that sentries at night are required to halt every body of men and give the order, "Advance one, to be recognized," which means that one goes forward alone so that the sentry can satisfy himself without the risk of being overpowered if several went forward at once. A certain well-known officer of the —— was found by a London Scottish officer held up by a sentry, who refused to allow him to move and announced that he "warn't satisfied with the man." The sentry refused to be convinced, and eventually a scout coming along had to conduct the doubtful one to the officer in charge of the post, when all was well. "The sentry thought," writes the London Scot, "that he had got hold of a good thing and saw visions of many stripes. He was perfectly justified, and no one blamed him." Must Be Total. A clergyman was discussing with an illiterate member of his flock, in an orthodox church of Georgia, religious topics of varied interest. The member said that even the best were none too good in this vale of sin and tribulation. "You believe, then," interposed the preacher, "in the doctrine of total deprivacy?" "Yes, I do," responded the member, "that is—er—er—where it's lived up to."—Christian Register. School for Foresters A school of forestry will be established at Nanking university by the government of China and will be under the supervision of two experts from the United States. STUTTERER IS TO BE PITIED Nervousness and Inability to Put Thoughts Quickly Into Speech Responsible for Habit. Nervousness and inability to put the thoughts quickly enough into speech are largely responsible for the stuttering habit and any child who shows a tendency to stutter should be dealt with patiently in order to discover whether it is merely a habit to be overcome or a more serious affliction, due to a lack of co-ordination between the musclee of the diaphragm and ribs where one is trying to breathe while others are endeavoring to articulate. Teach a child to enunciate slowly and to think what he wants to say before he tries to say it. Do not startle him by ridicule or sudden interruption. Make him start fresh when he gets twisted up and frightened at his inability to get out what he is trying to say. The knowledge that one has difficulty in pronouncing certain words often produces the very stuttering that one tries to avoid. It is tremendous mortification to a child and a serious drawback in every profession in later life, so that the confirmed stutterer is as much to be pitied as any other sufferer from infirmity, for it really is that. It usually develops in early childhood, probably from some nervous shock or fear when the youngster is in a run down condition. Famous Greek Dishes. Famous Greek Dishes. Smyrna under Turkish misrule has been in serious danger of getting sited up and left far inland, like ancient Ephesus. This would be doubly disastrous for the Greeks, who form the vast majority of Smyrna's population, because they might thereby be deprived not only of Smyrna but of a favorite delicacy, cuttlefish. The bloodcurdling curse called down by the chorus in the "Acharnians" upon "the meanest of poets and meanest of men," that a dainty dish of octopus, for which he had been eagerly waiting, might be snatched from him by a dog, would be as quickly appreciated by modern Smyriote Greeks as by the original audience of Aristophanes. When well beaten to make the fish tender before being dressed, and then cut into small pieces and served with a savory brown stew, a cuttlefish makes a dish by no means to be despised. The jaded epicure who pined for a "new animal" should have gone to a Greek restaurant in Smyrna and ordered stewed cuttlefish, followed by roast porcupine—Manchester Guard dian. Slate has long been recognized as a most valuable roofing material, not only for its wearing qualities, due to the fact that it is a non-absorbent stone and therefore does not admit the factors of decay, but also because of its architectural value in lending itself to the development of various and attractive color schemes, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. Nature did not handicap slate beds by forming all of them in one color. Here it is lavished red, there unfading green or purple and yonder the coal black or rustic gray. Of late the public agitation over the matter of fire prevention, brought forcibly home by such stupendous losses as we have suffered in the confragations at San Francisco, Chicago, Chelsea and Salem, has brought emphasis on the fireproof qualities of slate. All over fire chiefs are calling: "Give us fireproof roofs and the confragational hazard will be reduced to a minimum." When building codes heed their cry slate roofs will help solve the fire problem. Tebacco and the War Much as the man in the trenches would like to smoke, he cannot smoke nearly so many cigars and cigarettes as he would at home. War has cut down very heavily the tobacco bill of all Europe. Uncle Sam is one of the biggest tobacco salesmen on earth, but since the fighting began our sales of the weed have fallen a quarter. Measured by our exports, the soldiers at the front are saving $50,000 a day on American tobacco alone. In the grand economy of things this reduction of the smoke bill weighs but a trifle against the destruction elsewhere. It profitte little to save a dollar on tobacco and squander a hundred on powder and shot. Instructions Sought. "Everybody," observes a New York woman, "knows one or more of those conscientious egoists who cannot rid themselves of the notion that no one can be trusted to carry out the simplest details of routine work without their personal supervision. "It was one of this sort who went West, leaving in his brother's care a parrot of which he was very fond. All the way out he worried about the bird, and at Chicago he sent his brother the following telegram: "Be sure to feed the parrot." "Whereupon the brother telegraphed back: "Have fed him, but he is hungry again. What shall I do next?" Bird of Evil Omen To this day the lapwing is a bird of evil omen among the people of the South of Scotland. This dislike dates from the reign of Charles II, when, during the persecution of the Covanants, such as sought a hiding place on the moors were commonly discovered to their pursuers by the screams of the lapwings which hovered over them.

News that a lady well known in social circles here and in England has been the victim of spotted fever brings that disease prominently before the public. There seems to be an impression that this is a very severe form of infection epidemic in the eastern portion of Europe and Asia, but quite unknown in the western world. What is called spotted fever, however, is the familiar typhus fever of the western countries. The other names for the affection—hospital fever, fall fever, camp fever, ship fever and sometimes famine fever—show the conditions under which it develops. When people are crowded together in unclean conditions, with low nutrition from insufficient food and contact with those already suffering from the disease, this form of fever becomes intensely virulent and widely endemic. Typhus used to come to New York rather often only a little more than fifty years ago in the crowded immigrant ships, and then made very serious ravages. If we had similar health conditions it would still be a great source of danger. Certain cases of it have been discovered in this city even during the last ten years, but so mild was it in our better sanitary conditions that it seemed quite a different aliment and was for a while called Brill's disease. There is, as the Herald prophesied as almost sure to take place, a great epidemic of it now raging in the eastern war area that will undoubtedly in the sad state of health matters there, cause a great deal of suffering and many deaths.—New York Herald. Cost of Living In Russia. According to a recent official statement issued in Petrograd, the inhabitants of the Russian capital paid $10,000,000 more for actual necessities of life in 1914 than they did in 1913. The advance in prices was due to the war. The following are the articles that showed in 1914 the largest percentage of increase in price over the preceding year; salt, 50 per cent; rice, 56 per cent; groats, 57 per cent; flour, 18 to 30 per cent; sugar, 14 per cent; eggs, 3 per cent.

SEVERAL GENERALS WITH HIM Pascual Orozco Eludes His Guards Jumps His Bond and Crosses the International El Paso.—General Victoriano Huerta spent the anniversary of American independence in the county jail here. Imprisoned with him were three former Mexican generals: Jose Delgado, J. B. Ratner and Enrique Gorostita and two members of the personal party of the former Mexican executive. They had been placed in cells on charges of conspiracy to violate the neutrality laws in attempting to launch a revolutionary movement in Mexico after failing to secure bond. They had been out on heavy bonds on the first charge which resulted in their arrest a week ago. Whether the developments of the last week mean the abandonment of a new revolutionary movement abs created a division of opinion, even among those characterized Huerta's adherents. Certain of those close to Huerta are quoted as saying that his arrest has merely delayed action, but others equally as close have declared that any organized move has been indefinitely postponed. Huerta himself continues to maintain silence That Pascual Orozco, who escaped from his guards, has succeeded in getting across the international boundary is conceded by almost all of the American authorities, and only a half-hearted search for him on this side was conducted. He is reported to have joined a small party of his followers east of Juarez and from his camp across the river to have sent out for his partisans to join him in an attempt to wrest Juarez from Villa's garrison. RUSSIANS ARE STILL ON THE RUN Czar's Army Losing Five Miles a Day in Galicia. London.—At a rate estimated at five miles a day General Von Mackenzen's forces still are swinging northward in Galicia and Poland in a colossal and daring endeavor to drive a wedge into the Russian center and dislodge the Russians from the Vistula river and force them back over the Bug, thus splitting the grand duke's forces into two sections with thousands of acres of swamp and marsh lands between them. If the Austro-Germans can continue their progress another week, even the British press admits the Russians will have to give up Warsaw, and with it the whole line. Meanwhile the Germans are massing more troops in the Baltic provinces and the recent encounter in the Baltic seems to suggest that they contemplate co-ordinating naval action, but it is possible that the sea operations were only a feint. In southeast Galicia the Russians are fighting tenaciously and have the advantage of a remarkable series of parallel rivers beyond the Gnila Lípa and the Austro-German advance is likely to be extremely costly. Thus on their two extreme wings the Russians appear to be firm, and where they are retreating it is still claimed their retirement is orderly and accompanied by vigorous rear guard operations. The Austro-Germans who are advancing in the center are moreover getting deeper into a country covered with forests and streams and barren of ridges between the Vistula and Bug-natural advantages to the Russians, which military writers here repeatedly emphasize. They point to the daily lengthening chain of Austro-Germans' communications, which brings an added burden to the Teutons. Some sections of the British public think the time has come for Great Britain and France to begin a general offensive of German troops from the eastern theater; but the more conservative military writers think that the time for this is not at hand, but that the best aid England can lend her eastern ally is to pour into Russia every ounce of ammunition that can be spared without curtailing the necessary supply at the western front. Merchant Vessel Resists Submarine Queenstown.—With nine dead sailors stretched on her deck, eight men lying wounded below, and her sides riddled with shot and shell, the British steamship Anglo-Californian steamed into Queenstown harbor after having withstood the attack of a German submarine for four hours. The ship's escape from destruction was accomplished with no other means of defense than, the indomitable spirit of her captain and crew, which enabled her to frustrate the attack. Boundary.

Hardly Willing to Admit That There Could Be Anyone Prettier Than He Was. The Warrenpeas live in a picture-book bungalow, framed in oak trees, shrubbery and flowers, and as Warrenpea's income is adequate, and likely to be more so, they go about a bit in a social way. Mulligan, their chauffeur, had been directed to steer the gasoline boat under the side porch at precisely 7:50.

Aurora Refuses to Die Aurora, probably the oldest mining camp in the state of Nevada, the former home of Mark Twain and other historic persons of the early days of the West, which was thought a dead camp, has not only revived as a mining community, but is beginning to show an unusual metropolitan aspect. The Fourth of July celebration of Mineral county, writes a correspondent of the San Francisco Chronicle, was held at Aurora and close to 2,000 people were entertained. The entrance of the Goldfield Consolidated Mining company, the big Wingfield concern, into the camp has stimulated an unusual interest in Aurora. The old mining property has been taken over by the Wingfield interests, a new mill erected and a monthly production of close to $50,000 is now being realized. holds The Le in years Grape-Nuts, the pioneer for nutrition. ties use it regularly because e-Nuts Has qualities which make it the ideal food— our, pourishment, quick Preparation, need. cream, in place of heavy, to make one cooler and hot days; and builds body for wrappers and coupons from COTTON BOLL--White KING NAPHTHA--Yellow Famous hard water laundry soaps and WATER LILY The delicately scented toilet and bath soap.

Presently a very pretty girl came on to sing. "I say, isn't she lovely?" exclaimed the impressionable youth. "And just look at her splendid teeth!" "Yes, they are very nice," replied his neighbor. "And it gives me much pleasure to hear you praise them." "That so? Is she your daughter, then?" "No." "Are you her brother?" "No," was the answer; "but I'm glad you like her teeth."

Grape-Nuts AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The question of the education of the Negro has always been one of deep concern to the South, and is particularly interesting with the illiteracy campaign in progress, the Negro being such a factor in bringing down the literacy in this state. Therefore the work of the Industrial high school of this city is a matter of great moment, writes Mrs. Sidney M. Ullman in the Birmingham (Ala.) M. Herald. This splendid institution, under the direct influence of the board of education and Doctor Phillips' supervision, and with the able leadership of Prof. A. H. Parker, has become a factor in the city school life and an asset to the community. The principal of this school is a direct product of the public schools of Birmingham, raised and educated in this city, a man of great brains and heart, and regarded as one of the leading Negro citizens, not only of Birmingham, but of Alabama. Professor Parker impresses one immediately with his earnestness, and you feel how serious is the undertaking of this man and in what able hands the work has been placed. Housed in an unattractive, old, ramshackle building with unspeakable surroundings, as far as comfort and equipment for school purposes is concerned, this work goes on progressing, assisting hundreds of young Negro men and women, reaching into the family life, making better citizens of them and fitting each for the problem peculiar to themselves. The Industrial high school is situated on Eighth avenue near Eleventh street. The building was originally erected by a man named Lane, for an auditorium to display and conduct his art of medicine quackery, for Lane was an Indian medicine man. How the ugly, unattractive, old building ever lasted 20 years is almost inconceivable; however, it has lasted, stood all of these years, to at last become useful as the home of this splendid school. The building contains every modern idea along vocational lines in school development, some still crude, almost always because of lack of funds, but all carried out to some degree of perfection, and serving their purpose well. These departments are under the direction of trained teachers, well equipped in their professions. The spirit and work of the school can best be judged from the essay of Franklin Irene Davis, a graduate of the school this term. This paper is not selected only as descriptive of the school, but also as a sample of the remarkable work done in the school. In the spring of 1913 the mothers and teachers, seeing the need of a more inexpensive method of dressing our girls, together decided upon the adoption of a uniform. Permission was obtained to enforce it and the next fall saw us donning simple dark dresses now familiarly known as "high school blues," relieved by white cuffs and collars. Besides these dresses came the rules permitting only one finger ring, no bracelets, no lockets, and no jewelry of any kind save a simple pin securing the collar. No silk hose can now be seen, and our color scheme has been reduced to black, white and blue. Its effects have been many, the greatest among them being the money saving; for a girl's supply of school dresses has been reduced to two per year, which only cost from 45 cents to $1.05 each, according to the size of the girl and Lafcadio Hearn held that the term "Negro melodies" is a misnomer. He traced all Negro songs back to English, Spanish and particularly French sources. The old ballads of these people which were in vogue at the time of settling in America were adapted, transformed, Africanized by the Negro slaves, and preserved in their new form long after the originals were forgotten. Doubtless Hearn's theory is correct in essentials, but it has one defect. It does not give full credit to the Negro element in these tunes as they exist now. If the Negroes had not been a musical race, they never would have taken over and finally made their own the music of their masters. The Indians, a far more stiff-necked and independent race than the Africans, have no such group of songs to their credit, not even where they form an overwhelming majority of the population. Mexican bands do not play Aztec music, and it is not of record that Peruvian audiences listen to Quichua variations on Spanish airs. The National Negro Business league will celebrate the fifteenth anniversary of its organization by holding a convention in Boston, August 18 to 20. Booker T. Washington, president of Tuskegee institute, who also is head of the organization, will preside. Gains made by the Negro race since the founding of the organization will be discussed. In 1900 there were 20,000 Negro business enterprises, and the number now has increased to 45,000. The total value of property owned by Negroes in the country is estimated at nearly $2,000,000,000. the season of the year. What a difference between this and former times when so many more dresses were thought necessary and did not look. If so well as our simple dark blues with neat collars and cuffs. No longer do we envy those who wear better clothes than ours. Less time is spent in worrying over what to wear, consequently tardiness has been greatly reduced. We have also learned that good taste demands simplicity and so the jewelry not permitted during school days is often forgotten during Sundays. After becoming accustomed to our uniforms we are not so prone to rival the rainbow in choosing colors for other occasions. For all of these lessons we are grateful to our school. "Save the boy, and it will not be necessary to reform the man," was the keynote of the addresses delivered in the National Negro Baptist Sunday school congress at Washington, and resulted in an organized effort among the boys against leafers, crime and criminality, and a declaration on the part of boys representing 15 states to assist the officers of the law in preserving law and order. "Must Jesus Bear the Cross Alone?" was used to open one of the busiest sessions of the meeting of the congress, and many new features looking toward the betterment of the home life of the Negro race throughout the country were introduced through addresses Starting with the cadet movement, under Dr. W. H. Crawford, with 300 boys in uniform, making a demonstration, brought out many Negro boys of Birmingham, who made application for membership, but were told they would have to come in through the Sunday school. "These boys will be of benefit to communities in which they live," said Doctor Crawford. "They will work against cigarette smoking, tobacco chewing, and will be opposed to strong drink. You will find in these places where the cadets are there will be fewer arrests of boys, and stronger men will be developed. That shiftless, loafing criminal Negro will become a thing of the past. The Sunday school movement means this or nothing. We are going to do practical Sunday school work in the future." "Man's Part in Life's Choee," was the subject of the Bible lesson taught by Dr. E. Ford of Jacksonville. "With a common God there can be no misunderstanding between two men or two races," declared Prof. A. M. Tarwick, international secretary of the Young Men's Christian association, one of the instructors in the Methodist institute, conducted by the Methodist Episcopal church, South, for the Negro Methodist ministers. "I want to here congratulate you upon the wonderful progress you have made, and that you are still making. This movement means much to your people. You have strong men here, and you are to be congratulated." In a costly watch that has been made for exhibition purposes there is a wheel that makes the revolution only once in four years, operating a dial that shows the years, months and days. It's easy to gauge a man's intelligence. Draw him into a discussion, and if he agrees with you he's sensible. The superintendent of education in Russell county, Alabama, conceived the enlightened thought that the Negro would be less a menace to the community if he were educated. He called a meeting of the white folks in the courthouse and tactfully asked them if they would be pleased to hear addresses from three educated colored persons. They agreed to listen and two Negro teachers and a Negro editor from Tuskegee presented the gospel of education for usefulness for which that institution is famous. The white folks were persuaded. They thereupon decided to add to the schools of Russell county a plan of industrial training, not only for colored children, but for their own white children as well. Buck Kilby, who is one of the Noble Red Man's stanchest defenders, says it can at least be said for the Indian that he never tries to "make" conservation. An electrically heated incubator for the production of bacteria has been developed by a Salt Lake City scientist. The traffic of the Forth bridge, which is the largest of its kind in the world, for the year ending March, 1913, was 62,944 trains, an increase of 40 per cent, while the total weight increased to 15,984,410 tons, or about 60 per cent.

VICTIM OF CRUEL DECEPTION Fair Seaside Visitor Satisfied She Had Seen Remarkable "Government Salting Apparatus." They were passing the holiday at Onset and during the course of the sunny afternoon took a stroll on the beach. At one point they came upon an improvised breakwater, where some resident had filled bags with sand and piled them in breastworks fashion to prevent the sea from encroaching upon his land during the stormy season. One of the young ladies was curious immediately. She would know what the bags were for. "Why, it's very simple," explained her companion with due gravity. "The water in Onset bay originally was fresh, a peculiarity of nature which has puzzled scientists. It seemed too bad to deprive the place of seashore advantages so the government took the matter in hand, filled the bags with salt and thereby has imparted the proper flavor to Onset water." Far from rebuking him for being "fresh," she is now telling her friends of having seen the "government salting apparatus" down there. Such a Long Time Ago He had just reached the philosophical stage when he slipped into a restaurant between bars for a bit to eat. He ordered.

As the waitress put the order before him he started from his deep study, as if he had forgotten he had an order coming. Then, looking up at the fair transporter of edibles, he said: "You don't look a day older!"—Pittsburgh Chronicle Telegraph. CARE FOR YOUR HAIR By Frequent Shampoos With Cuticura Will Help You.

The baggage master halted the family party and politely explained that under the new law the value of the contents of each trunk must be given. After a brief consultation with her daughter, mamma pointed to her own trunk and said: "Please put this one down as containing one thousand dollars' worth of personal belongings. This one," indicating her daughter's trunk, "you may put down for eight hundred." "How about this little one?" asked the baggage master, resting his heel on its top. "Oh, that!" replied the lady contemptuously. "Ten or twelve dollars will cover that one." "I see," returned the official. "Father's going along too." Cotton in California. Since cotton was first planted in Imperial valley, California, as an experiment, about eight years ago, the acreage has increased yearly until it is now 65,000, yielding 50,000 bales. The United States department of agriculture says the valley's production per acre is more than twice that of any other part of the country. In the valley there are nineteen cotton gins, three cottonseed oil mills, and three compresses. Over half the acreage is in the vicinity of Calexico, there being there eight gins, two oil mills, and one compress, all busy day and night during the winter making by-products like cottonseed oil, cottonseed feed and hulls.

Under the caption, "Russia's Dreams," Harper's Weekly says: "To the Slavic mind the fall of Constantinople will be the greatest military event in centuries." Certainly, but the military feature of control of the Dardanelles doesn't completely cover Russia's dream by a good deal. Dream of a country whose population has increased 90 per cent in 40 years, whose resources in human necessities, such as fuel, food and building material, are hardly approached by any other country on earth—dream of such a country getting a fair chance to compete for the world's trade, and you are getting somewhere near the size of the Russian dream. Hundreds of thousands of acres of finest timber in one forest alone; unlimited oil spouting from mere pricking of the earth's crust; vast deposits of all sorts of minerals that have hardly been scratched; already leading the world in production of cereals; labor at oriental prices; an army of 10,000,000 fighters who fight merely because ordered to do so. Do you dream of great Russian commercial fleets sailing the Mediterranean in continuous procession? Maybe the English, so-called 'the nation of traders," are dreaming such things.

CLOGGED UP BY SEDIMENT Flow of Water in City Mains Restricted by Sedimentation and Incrustation Taking Place Within. It has only recently been observed that the efficiency of the flow of water in a city's main is very much restricted by the sedimentation which takes place in them. Because of the slowness with which these deposits occur, it is not readily noticeable, but the difference is quickly discernible by making note of the character of the stream tissue therefrom before and after cleaning. In the case of an eight-inch main in Camden, N. J., the capacity was found to have been cut down to less than one-quarter. Another illustration may be derived from the experience of Belle Plaine, Ia. Here a cast iron water pipe nearly a mile long and six inches in diameter had a capacity when clean of 335 gallons a minute, with a pressure of 60 pounds. This pipe became so clogged that a pressure of 125 pounds was necessary in order to deliver 248 gallons a minute. There are several mechanical means of accomplishing this task. One consists of a nine-foot device which is placed in the pipe and sent along by pressure behind it, and as it moves the deposit is cut by the many revolving knives of which it is made. A flow of water is maintained and the released material is washed away as it is detached. $50.00 PER MONTH, MADE DURING HIGH SCHOOL WEEK. SPARE TIME, Ballag High School.
