Oklahoma "Northern White Into Court to Her "But Only As Se "Northern White Woman" Goes Into Court to Adopt Girl As Her Own "But Only as Servant," She Said OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 30.—Circumstances which caused Judge William H. Zwick to angrily exclaim that he would not be a party to "judicial slavery" developed in the county court Saturday morning when a white woman, middle-aged and well dressed, sought to adopt an 5-year-old Negro girl. Now, I don't want you to think I consider her my equal, the woman who merely said she was "Mrs. Shepherd," explained to the court. "I want to adopt her as my child because I need her. I'll train her like I want her to be, and she can help me do the housework. If I can't adopt her, why, when she is thirteen or fourteen years old somebody will take her away from me just as she become useful." "What you seem to want is for this court to provide you with a little slave not a child," Judge Zwick broke in. "If I were to allow you to adopt this little black girl it would be judicial slap not more. It would be peonage. You needn't go any further. You needn't right now that so as I am judge of this court the giving that child to you will never signed." The woman said that she was Iowa and, being raised in the did not "look upon the Negroes the same aversion southern did." She told the court that itmitted to adopt the little Negro she would send her to school and a common education. "Of course, I don't consider he equal," she said for the second, "but I let her eat at my table, the rest of the family is through she sleeps in the same room I oo but in another bed."

In an interview with a representative of the Star last week Mr. Wilson said: "I have this to say about the public schools of Oklahoma; that while our schools, both white and colored, are advancing, yet they are nothing like what they ought to be. We need to be getting more results. Oklahoma should have as good schools as any state in the union and in some respects we have but we must improve generally." The Superintendent was then asked what plans he had in mind to improve the public schools of the state. Replying he said: "I have several plans; but the one plan which I think will be of most benefit to the schools for both races is the employment of two state supervisors of schools, a white man for the white schools and a colored man for the colored schools. Then we must in some way induce the patrons of the schools to manifest more interest in the teachers and their work. The school buildings should be more of a community center for the patrons in giving public entertainments from time to time. The patrons of our schools are far too indifferent to the progress their children are making in the school room." If Mr. Wilson is permitted to execute his ideas of promoting the interest of the schools in Oklahoma and the patrons will follow his timely suggestions Oklahoma will soon have an up-to-date ideal public school system.

The woman said that she was from Iowa and, being raised in the north, did not "look upon the Negroes with the same aversion southern people did." She told the court that if permitted to adopt the little Negro girl she would send her to school and give a common education. "Of course, I don't consider her my equal," she said for the second time, "but I let her eat at my table, after the rest of the family is through, and she sleeps in the same room I occupy, but in another bed."

The child has been in the custody of the woman for some time now. "Mrs. Shepherd" said the truant officer informed her that she could adopt the child if she cared to.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 1—A committee of members of the State board of education, composed of Davis Hall, Dr. F. B. Fite and J. G. Ralls, will for an indefinite time have charge of the colored A. & M. school at Langston, since the resignation of President Inman E. Page, who for 17 years conducted the school. The committee will go immediately to the school and make an investigation of conditions there. Some stories of a deterimental nature have been told about the school and it will be ascertained if possible who is to blame. The school had borne a very creditable reputation, classed as one of the very best of the kind. Prof. Inman E. Page resigned early this week while the State Board of Education was investigating certain charges against him. Those*charges were of the gravest nature and it is thought Mr. Page resigned to avoid a deal of unpleasant notoriety. Prof. Page founded the Langston school nearly 18 years ago and since that time has been at the head of it. His wife and daughter has also been members of the faculty during this time. According to reports received at this office, Prof. I. V. McCutcheon former principal of the colored schools at Atoka has been named as successor to Prof. Inman E. Page. It is said that McCutecheon's appointment came as a surprise to many of the leading colored people of the state, and some have already openly expressed their dissatisfaction. The committee of citizens which called up the school board left with the impression that an outside man thoroughly qualified for the position would be named for the place. Patrons of the public library who have books belonging to the library will please return them at once. Books are not supposed to remain out longer than two weeks, but a number of the library patrons are disregarding this rule. We urge our patrons to lend us all the assistance possible in our efforts to maintain a public library. Our books are limited and we must keep them well in hand to accommodate the public. Kindly remember this and return the books. LABOR DAY PROCLAMATION. Following the most praiseworthy law and custom that has prevailed in this and other states for many years, by which one day annually is set aside to observe the worth and importance of labor in the advancement and progress of the community, it is hereby proclaimed that Monday, September 6, shall be designated as Labor Day in Tulsa, and every citizen of this city is called upon to participate in its celebration. In setting aside this day it is with the purpose to acknowledge the important part played by those who labor in the advancement of civilization, progress and prosperity of the city, state and nation. Attention at this time is called to the prosperity that is so abundant in Tulsa as the result of the calm and peace of this country while other nations of the earth are embroiled in strife and conflict. Surrounded by this atmosphere of peace and good will nought but prosperity can await the men and women who constitute the toilers of Tulsa. In testimony of this I have this the thirty-first day of August in the year one thousand, nine hundred and fifteen hereto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the city of Tulsa. F.

CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 1.—The Lincoln Jubilee and Fifty years of Freedom Celebration which has been going on in this city since Aug. 22nd is proving one of the biggest things ever pulled off in Chicago. Thousands of people are going through the gates daily. Last Monday which was Chicago Day, more than 10,000 people passed through the gates to the great Coliseum and, drank in the signs of racial progress which is so fittingly represented. The exposition will continue till Sept. 16 with something new and attractive for each days program. WIRELESS STATION AT THE CHICAGO EXPOSITION. Through the efforts of Mr. Dixon Williams, Postmaster Genl. Burlson, granted special leave of absence to J. C. Edwards of the Atlantic City Post Office to install at the exposition building, the Coliseum, 4th and Wabash Ave., a regular wireless station, this attraction alone is worth the visit to the exhibition. The operator Alonzo E. Thomas, of Jersey City, though only twenty years old holds a U. S. Government license, signed by Chief Radio Inspector, L. R. Dayton of New York, in a class of five, he was the only one to pass the examination beginning at 8:30 A. M. and close at 6 P. M., no recess for meals. J. C.

MASS MEETING This course was adopted at a meeting in Oklahoma City last week, at which were present some of the leading race men from every section of the state. A very large delegation is expected as at the present time there is a wave of unrest among the colored people of Oklahoma growing out of political and other conditions existing in the state. All the arrangements for the meeting is in the hands of a committee headed by editor Smitherman of the Tulsa Star. Every colored person who comes will be admitted to the mass meeting and will be at liberty to express themselves on the questions at issue. The meeting will be held in the Dreamland Theatre on N.

OKLA TULSA, OKLA THE TULSA STAR AFRO-AMERICAN CULLINGS The farmers' congress suspended its session in order to be present at the musical recital by Miss Eddie L. Blackshear graduate of Prairie View college, former head of department of music at this institution and now one of the teachers of music at Bishop college, Marshall, Tex. reports the Houston (Tex.) Post. The congress was addressed at its Thursday morning session by Hon. Clarence Ousley, director of extension work in Texas. He said, among other things, that the success of the work among the colored people between now and next July would largely determine what would be done in future for extension work among Negroes in this state. There was a large audience who listened to Mr. Ousley and his remarks were indeed encouraging and received hearty applause. Another interesting phase of the morning session was the talks and exhibits given by several of the leading colored farmers in attendance. A. B. Marshall of Brazoria county was introduced and said that he had also brought greetings from his county judge, Hon. A. R. Rucks, who was interested in the welfare of the Negro farmers of the state and is anxious to colonize 100 more colored families in that county. Mr. Marshall exhibited quite a variety of peas, beans, peanuts, etc., which he had grown, as well as samples of different species of corn. Among the different crops which he had grown during this year were Japanese cane, planted April 23; Chinese velvet bean, planted April 12; the Virginia bunch and small Spanish peanuts, planted April 12; Chinese red pea, planted May 1; matured and harvested with another crop under cultivation; Mexican June corn, planted May 18. During the course of his talk Mr. Marshall said that the good white people of his community had assisted him on his expense to the farmers congress and that County Judge Rucks expressed himself as well pleased with the excellent work which the Prairie View school had done under the administration of its present principal S. J. Haller, also of Brazoria county was introduced and exhibited specimens of Missouri white pearl corn, planted May 21; Oklahoma White Wonder corn, planted May 21; Mexican June corn, planted June 1; Kentucky Wonder bean, planted May 26; Kentucky white burley tobacco, planted May 26. E. L. Jackson of Austin also exhibited specimens of small gourd seed corn, planted April 23; yellow dent corn, planted April 26. All these exhibits were very fine and attracted the admiration of the whole congress. Surry Smith, Sr. vice-president of the congress and who is an excellent farmer of Burleson county, told of how he managed to grow practically everything he needed. Prof. R. H. Hines of Waco, a graduate of the school and one of the leading colored teachers of the state, spoke to the congress. Jake Ford of Wharton, an alumnus of the school, is a man who has made marked success along agricultural lines and especially in raising Soudan grass alfalfa. He is one of the leading blacksmiths of his country and his land holdings are considerable.

It first awakes to life while on its mother's back.

Bolivia should profit immensely by the British embargo on tin. In that South America mountain republic are tin mines of a remarkable richness, and railroad connection with the Argentine republic has recently been completed. These same mines were producing fortunes in silver before the first Pilgrim landed in New England. Four hundred years ago the average length of human life was between eighteen and twenty years. One hundred years ago the average human life was less than thirty. The average human life today reaches nearly forty years.

The fifthth anniversary of the issuance of the Emancipation Proclamation by President Lincoln, which is being celebrated this year by an exposition in Richmond, gives added interest, in the opinion of sociologists, ethnologists and economists, to the statistical study, "Negroes in the United States," recently issued by the census bureau. The predominant southern distribution of the race is emphasized by the fact that the center of Negro population is almost exactly on a north and south line with the center of total population of the United States, but is some four hundred miles south of the latter point, in the northeast corner of Alabama. Like the general center of population, the center of Negro population is moving steadily westward and has traversed about thirty-six miles in the last three decades. In the half-century since emancipation, it is indicated, the Negro population has much more than doubled, the increase from 1860 to 1910 being over 121 per cent. This increase was with practically no immigration. The increase in white population with heavy immigration was over 203 per cent, yet the ratio of Negro population to the whole population has decreased only from about 13.5 per cent to about 10.5 per cent. The Negro population at the close of the Civil war was about 4,500,000, and the white population was approximately 27,000,000. The respective populations in 1910 were 9,828,000 and 81,732,000. In two states, the study shows, more than half the population are Negroes. These are Mississippi) and South Carolina. In four other states—Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Louisiana—the percentage is over 40. The county having the highest percentage of Negro population, it was found, is Isaquena county, Miss., where the Negroes constitute 94.2 per cent of the total population. In 53 counties—all in southern states—the Negro population is over 75 per cent of the total. The ethnic statistics show marked changes in the make-up of the race in the past 50 years. When the Emancipation Proclamation was issued mulattoes represented about 13 per cent of the Negro population. The percentage in 1910 was nearly 21 and is now probably higher. Sociologically and economically the changes have been marked also. Hiteracy, for instance, has decreased in 50 years from 60 to 30 per cent, and the proportion of the members of the race owning homes free of incumbrance has increased from near zero to more than 16 per cent. What is probably the largest rug ever shipped to the United States is on exhibition in St. Louis. The rug measures 24x39 feet, weighs more than 1,500 pounds and was woven in a single piece in Glasgow, Scotland. Dogs live fifteen to twenty-five years; cattle, twenty-five years; the horse, twenty-five to thirty years; the eagle, thirty years; the stag, thirty-five to forty years; heron, lion and bear, fifty years each; the raven, eighty years; elephant, turtle, parrot, pike and carp, one hundred years each. A bride in Korea begins her married life in silence; she must not speak during the first day, even to her husband. To do so is considered a breach of etiquette. The next morning, however, she may give free rein to her tongue, and may talk thereafter to her heart's content.

The momentum of a modern 12-car railroad train running a mile a minute is equal to that of a ton weight falling from a height of 21 miles.

SOMETHING NEW IN SALADS. There are a few suggestions that it is well to be reminded of in regard to the selection and care of salad materials. A good, resourceful cook will make an appetizing salad out of almost any sort of good materials. Care should be used in combining delicate flavors with highly seasoned dressings. Rich fish should not be served with a heavy mayonnaise. Lemon seems most appropriate to use in salad dressings when fruit is to be used. Pepper Salad.—Select tender green peppers, wash and dry. Cut off the stem and remove the seeds and the white fiber. Shave into fine strips and add equal portions of chopped olives and celery. Cover with a rich mayonnaise and serve in tomato cups or on curled parsley or lettuce. Russian Salad.—Cut cold roast beef into cubes, mince fried bacon, and mix. All shredded head lettuce, half a cupful of cold, cooked peas and dress with mayonnaise. Meat Salad.—Cut chicken, beef or veal into fine pieces, discarding all fat or gristle. To each two cupfuls of meat add one cupful of celery and one onion, both minced. Just before serving mix with enough dressing to hold together, not enough to make it wet. Bennares Salad.—This is such a well-liked combination that it is becoming Americanized. Equal parts of tart apple, cocoonut, a little sugar, salt and chopped red pepper and parsley, with a tablespoonful of chopped onion. Serve with French dressing like the above. Cabbage Salad.—Chop enough cabbage to make a pint. Shell peanut or walnuts, a half cupful or less. Boil one-half cupful of sugar with a half cupful of vinegar; let cool. Beat a yolk of egg with a half cupful of cream. Mix all together lightly and serve on the cabbage. Raisin Salad.—To a half cupful of raisins add one cupful of shredded coconut and three chopped apples, a bit of onion juice or green pepper chopped, and serve with French dressing. USE OF SALAD DRESSINGS There is nothing new under the sun, but each housewife may in blending different seasonings create quite unusual effects. A salad dressing should be suited to the salad with which it is served. A hot mustard dressing is most inappropriate to a fruit salad as is a heavy mayonnaise dressing on rich meat or fish. The old stand by different seasonings create quite unusual effects. A salad dressing should be suited to the salad with which it is served. A hot mustard dressing is most inappropriate to a fruit salad as is a heavy mayonnaise dressing on rich meat or fish. The old stand-by French dressing, may, by the addition of different flavors seem quite like a new dressing. Mashed Roquefort cheese, added to French dressing, served on lettuce is one that is almost universally liked by men. Chopped green pepper, Spanish onion, chives, cucumber, a piece or two of tomato, in fact almost any vegetable added to French dressing then used on lettuce is well liked. To make a good French dressing it is necessary that the oil should be perfect and all the ingredients ice cold. The vinegar is another important item. Too acid vinegar makes a dressing too sharp. Good elder vinegar is the best and one part vinegar, (if at all strong, dilute it), to three parts of oil, makes a good combination. Then add such seasonings as seems advisable or such as you have. Chill sauces, catchups of various kinds, chives, pimentoes and many bottled sauces may be used to give variety to a dressing. One of the most tasty of fruit salad dressings is made of fruit juice, pineapple is especially good, using oil and less of the vinegar. Chill Dressing.—Make an ordinary French dressing, add salt and pepper to taste, three tablespoonfuls of oil and one of vinegar, then a few drops of onion juice, a finely chopped green pepper, and enough chill sauce to make the dressing red. Serve this poured over head lettuce or chopped cabbage. Parsley may be used in place of the pepper if it is not liked. Young onions sliced and served in sour cream with a dash of cayenne and salt is a most appetizing salad for those who know the value of onions in the diet. R LADIES OF FA A Department Devoted to the Personal Interests of J Late N Friends of the Tuls HIGH AND BRIMLESS AUTUMN HATS NOT FAVORED BY AVERAGE WOMEN. Latest Millinery Creations Savor Unpleasantly of the Reign of Louis Xi-Silk Top Hat of Eton There is no longer any doubt that the autumn hats will be almost brimless and unusually high. Neither one of these features recommends itself to the average woman. She does not possess the face to wear such a hat. Youth, gloomy, insolent youth, watch in these recent days has been able to take unto itself any of the sartorial bravados of the hour, will, probably, adopt these hats that savor, unpleasantly, of the reign of Louis THE HAT New Shape in Black Velvet. XI, whose era was enlivened by the wit of Francois 'Villon and by the henin which brought its obdurate wearers a stern rebuke from the church. Any and all kinds of high, brimless hats seem to be on the milliners' shelves. The silk top hat, worn by the schoolboy at Eton, is among the number and has already been worn over here, much to the amusement of the bystanders, who thought it was merely a theatrical trick. It appears now that it was a genuine forerunner of . . . new fashion. It goes with the broad Eton collar of stiffened linen which the shops have been trying to make popular since April. When a young woman adds the hat and the collar to a short Eton jacket of velvetenet, it is a pity that the excessively narrow skirt has ceased to be, for its addition as a final touch to the costume would be an excellent mimicry of British boyhood. The Eton jacket, by the way, is not at all amiss in the fashions of the day. It has an oriental counterpart in the loose bolero that the French are putting on their newest evening frocks, boleros of beaded embroidery, of tulle embroidered, of crystal net under which shine the colors of a soft sash. Another point about the new hats—to get back to the subject—is the promised use of flowers. This is done is Paris to give plentiful work to the thousands of flower makers among the women and girls, and it may spread over here. Everywhere one sees evidence now of the employment of available and needy human material by the French fashion creators. LAST WORD IN 'KERCHIEFS Lavender, Straw, Pink, Blue and Nile Green Are Colors Affected In Trimming. Handkerchiefs with a frill of white cotton are popular, as are also lavender, straw, pink, blue and Nile green handkerchiefs. Round corners are seen as well as square. Val lace corners are smart. Pure white handkerchiefs are seen with a band of cotton net above a hem with a plaited frill of the net edging the hem. The lightly-tinted handkerchiefs are certainly enjoying favor, as well as fine handkerchiefs in pure white with a scalloped edge and corners in eyelet work. All embroidery is light in effect. Second mourning handkerchiefs have a frill of violet net on a white center. First mourning have black hems and clustered cords. Another style has a black net or lace frill on a white center. Clusters of short bars in black above the hem look well and there is always the plain black hem of various widths. Pretty Narrow Braid. A pretty narrow braid is quickly made of ordinary mercerized crochet cotton, or coarse silk: Chain 2, a double in first chain, * chain 1, a double in lefthand outside loop of previous double; repeat from * to required length. Suitable for lingerie tape, drawstrings, or trimming.—Needlecraft. No one is useless in this world who lightens the burden of it to anyone else. NICE THINGS TO KNOW. Rubber goods, such as hot, water bottles, rubber gloves and such things which are expensive when bought will last twice as long if they are treated to a strong solution of soda and water every two or three months. Let them drop into the boiling soda water and stand until cool. Lace yokes may be cleaned very satisfactor which are expensive when bought will last twice as long if they are treated to a strong solution of soda and water every two or three months. Let them drop into the boiling soda water and stand until cool. Lace yokes may be cleaned very satisfactorily by placing a large bath towel in the neck of the gown, cover the waist with another towel and wash with a small brush with soap, rinsing well with clean water. The yoke may then be pressed and it will be fresh looking again. Wrap linen that is to lie unused in a towel well blued, this will keep the linen white and fresh. Milk Frosting.—Take one and one-half cupful of sugar, one teaspoonful of butter, a half cupful of milk and a half teaspoonful of vanilla. Melt the butter in a saucepan, add sugar and milk, boil gently, without stirring, ten minutes; beat until stiff enough to spread, add flavoring and spread over the cake. MORE ABOUT SALADS Salads are recognized as being of distinct food value in addition to the appeal which they make to the eye in beautiful combinations of color. Pineapple Salad. —Take six slices of canned pineapple, two cupfuls of marshmallows, cut appeal which they make to the eye in beautiful combinations of color. Pineapple Salad. —Take six slices of canned pineapple, two cupfuls of marshmallows, cut in cubes with the shears; one cupful of blanched amonds, shredded; three tablespoonfuls of chopped pimento, one cupful of whipped cream, two tablespoonfuls of sugar, one-eighth of a teaspoonful of mustard, one tablespoonful of lemon juice and a few dashes of salt. Some like a boiled dressing, using one part of the dressing to four or five parts of whipped cream, as the salad dressing. Grapefruit in sections with strips of pimento between, served on lettuce, is another wholesome salad. Sapsago Salad—Grate a cake of sapsago cheese, add two tablespoons of butter, a few drops of tabasco sauce and a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce, one teaspoonful of lemon juice. Mold into a loaf and slice, placing a few slices on lettuce leaves, garnish with red pepper or pickled beets and serve with mayonnaise. Nut Salad—Blanch peanuts and place in a hot oven to brown with a bit of butter. Chop when cold and to each cupful of nuts add two eupufils of finely chopped celery and an equal amount of apples. Mix well and serve with mayonnaise. Toasted, buttered baking powder biscuit, cut in thin slices before toasting, make a nice accompaniment to any salad. Cucumber and Potato Salad.—Dice cold boiled potatoes and crisp cucumbers, mix lightly with mayonnaise dressing which has been seasoned with chopped parsley and onion. Any potato salad is improved by the addition of a few cooked peas or a little sweet corn cut from the cob. Gelatin jellies mixed with fruit and served molded in small cups or forms and placed on lettuce leaves, served with any desired dressing, make a most pleasing salad. THE TULSA STAR Julia Bottomley's Latest Ideas on International Fashions DRESS TRIMMINGS FOR FALL Applique, According to Predictions, Will Be Popular for Fall and Winter Gowns. Applique trimmings are predicted for fall and winter gowns. One gown of silk has black velvet leaves applipped to its bodice and skirt, the leaves being bound with silk-covered cord. Silk braids are used extensively to bind seams, to form bands around the bottom of the skirt and to give a military effect to coats and gowns. Fringe is also used to a considerable extent, and hand embroidery is also enjoying popularity. This work is done usually with heavy rope silks or wool. An interesting feature of the hand embroidery that is used on the best type of gowns is that no particular design is followed. In fact, the worker has full sway to let her needle wander where it will. This makes it possible for the home sewer to introduce a prominent feature on one or two new fall gowns. Narrow ribbons in great quantity are applied in a variety of ways on many dresses. Entire bodices are sometimes composed of rows and rows of ribbon. Ruffles of ribbons about three inches wide are employed in some cases to simulate an apron effect on the newest skirts. Such a treatment is truly economical, for it saves the cost of extra material to form an entire apron. Fancy buttons in colors to correspond with the trimming or with the gown material frequently give a finishing touch to many of the new garments FROCK IN SATIN AND TULLE Design That • Excellent for the Making Over of Last Year's Dress. This drawing shows a fetching satin and tulle evening frock whose design is excellent for the making over of a last year's frock. The skirt of cream tulle hangs over an underskirt of pink satin and is decorated by five bias bands of white satin. The bodice is made up of lace, tulle and satin, the ```markdown ``` latter material in the form of a deep girdle forming the principal part of the bodice. A novelty is the introduction of narrow picot edge ribbon in marine blue which is draped about the waist and on the skirt, where it is held by tiny pink satin roses. Clothes Trees For the Kidules. Much work and confusion may be avoided when the children undress at night if each one is made the proud possessor of a small hat tree or clothes tree, or costumer, as they are called. These come in white enamel, mahogany or any other finish of wood, stand four and one-half feet high and have eight branches, a branch for each article of wearing apparel. Clothes will be well aired, the room kept in neatness and order, and every thing ready in place in the morning. The children love them and it is a good way to teach them orderliness and hygiene. They are inexpensive Surprise them some morning with one Morning Smock. On the lines of the smock coat for morning wear is a short smock slip to take the place of breakfast jacket or morning blouse. These short smocks fall just to the hip and have a loose blouse belt to hold the loose, smocked garments in trim lines on the figure. The smartest models are of white or tan khaki-kool, an all-silk pongee, with the smocking done by hand with brown or leaf-green silk. Elbow sleeves and a low, turnover collar make the smock comfortable on summer mornings. For a Sunburned Baby. Bathe the inflamed skin with a solution consisting of one teaspoonful of bicarbonate of soda to a pint of water. Cold cream is also helpful in taking out the burning sensation. A I No outfit is quite complete in these days without a sweater of some sort. And there is a wide and varied choice in sweaters, for they are claiming more attention than ever before in their history. There are finely woven sweaters of silk, in gay colors, which one sees at the afternoon concert, at the country club, on the beaches and the golf links, and in any other outdoor meetings of fashionables. There are sweaters considerably like them, made of artificial silk, usually in more vivid colorings than the all-silk variety. Then there are the practical wool sweaters, similar to that shown in the picture, and belonging to the same class. The new models are carefully designed to the end that they may embody just the right style. In the example pictured here, for instance, it will be noticed that the sleeves are well shaped and finished with a cuff Three New M Of all things, millinery requires careful choosing, and, after it is bought, the hat requires careful placing on the head, if it is to fulfill its destiny. According to an old millinery maxim that destiny is to improve the appearance of the wearer. "You must look better with your hat than without it"—that is the exacting test to which each new mode is to be subjected. The three new models for fall, which appear here, are types that will repay a little study on the part of those who consider things before buying them. They include a small turban, a turban with extension crown which forms a halo brim, and one of the graceful wide-brimmed hats to which fashion is extending welcoming hands. Quite a number of these wide-brimmed hats are shaped with brims turning upward at the back. This has brought in the underbrim trimming again and it is not confined to wide-brimmed shapes. Short, curling ostrich plumes fit into the trimming of the underbrim in the most graceful way. The small turban is made of coated PAGE THREE eater for Fall and button. The patch pockets leave a turnover flap, and the new order of things in belts is recognized. The collar may be turned up close about the neck if required. Because this is a sweater for real comfort in cool days it is rather heavy. Its usefulness begins with fall, and continues to the coming of another summer, for it reinforces the too light wrap in the depths of winter. It is an excellent model to choose for the young girl to wear to school during the autumn months, and nothing could be better designed or arranged for sports wear. Sweaters of wool stand the rough handling which they are likely to get from young people, and continue to look none the worse for it. Now that they are made in beautiful colors and with so much attention to style, the field of their usefulness is wonderfully increased. odels for Fall silk, and would be equally effective in panne velvet. The material is covered with corded tucks and serves for the covering of the hat and for its trimming. The edges are finished with a silver tinsel braid which has the effect of needlework. It looks like close-set overcast stitches, and needlework decoration is a feature of the new fall millinery. The turban with extension crown is made of black velvet and white chiffon. A bead work ornament trims the front and is made entirely of white beads. The soft and graceful brim of the third hat bespeaks for it, and for many others of the same character, first place in the favor of young women. It is made of velvet in black or one of the dark shades of fashionable colors. The trimming is of white fancy ostrich and looks like a bit of fireworks, done in frost. It throws its sprays in front of the left eye of the wearer with an abandon unknown to ornaments hitherto. But it is strong in the knowledge that it is less in the way of vision than many a vell.

Us Save You M LAST WEEK a certain County Judge, is said to have sent for a Colored man who was guardian for his own children and told him that his report was not correct and that unless he—the father—resigned as guardian of his children, criminal prosecution would be started against him. The Colored man went to a lawyer, a Colored lawyer, who went into every detail of the case. After a dingent investigation he found that a big oil well had come in close to the land belonging to his clients children, and informed the Judge of the County Court that his client would not resign, but was ready for trial if he had committed any crime. Whereupon the Judge said he would take the case under advisement. Or course there will be no trial. Do you see the point? The Colored man had done no wrong. He was guardian of his own children and when the big grafters saw a chance to turn a trick and rob these little Colored children they were ready to do so even if it had been necessary to send the father to the penitentiary. But thanks to the genius and ability of one of our own lawyers the scheme was nipped in the bud and the Star will bet a dollar against the hole in a doughnut that no charges will ever be brought against the guardian and father.

Convention THE TULSA STAR Small Dog Is Petted as a Hero in the Paris Hospitals, as Reward for Faithfulness. In one of the Paris hospitals lives a dog, a brown-and-white setter, named Fend F'lAir (cleave the air), who is a real hero of the war. His master, a sergeant of zouaves, is a patient in the hospital, and he owes his frail hold on life to the devotion and intelligence of Fend F'lAir. When the regiment left Algeria for France the dog was left behind, but the faithful little creature leaped into the water and swam along behind the ship until the captain, taking pity on him, had him taken on board. From that time he has never left his master. During the fighting at Rochincount, near Arras, an exploding bomb buried the sergeant and seven other men with earth. They were badly injured, and so deeply covered that no man had the strength to fight his way out. But, luckily, Fend I'Air escaped the bomb. He at once began to scratch, and he scratched and scratched until he had reached his master and dragged him out to safety. The seven other men died. The wounded sergeant and his dog were sent from one relief station to another until they found permanent care in this Paris hospital. Good nursing has saved the man, but too much attention almost killed the dog; for the nurses and orderlies fed him so lavishly that promiscuous feeding had to be forbidden. Now Fend l'Air lives in the hospital kitchen, where he has assumed the duty of guard, and growls savagely at anyone who enters the kitchen—unless they belong there. Every day a nurse takes him to the wards to visit his master, and Fend l'Air puts his nose on the sergeant's shoulder and stands contented as long as he is permitted to remain. The great afction that exists between the sergeant and his dog is very charming—Youth's Companion. HIGH EXPLOSIVES IN WARFARE Fearfully Destructive Shells Employed to Clear the Way for the Advance of the Infantry. The shell question for our army in France concerns the supply not of shrapnel but of shell containing high explosive, says a visitor in London Tit Bits. Those high explosive shells are strong steel coats with a fuse, usually placed in the base. The charge employed may be either lyddite—which is a preparation of picric acid—or trinitrotoluol. The metal in the shell is fairly thick. The explosion is very violent, and has a thoroughly destructive effect upon anything near the point where the shell explodes—concrete, walls, entanglements, steel shields for the trenches or for guns. The French and Germans use these shells to prepare the way for assaults on hostile trenches, demolishing with them all obstacles. Shrannel are quite different projectiles, and are serviceable against infantry in the open or lightly entrenched. They are thin steel cases containing a very small charge of low or moderate power explosive, which opens the cases and liberates a large number of bullets in them. These cover an oval area as they scatter and kill unprotected men. Shrannel are useless against fortified positions, strongly built houses, or deep and well-planned intrenchments. The idea of digging oneself in is comparatively modern, dating from the time when the speed of rifle bullets became so great as to make it possible to kill a soldier a mile or more away. The soldier has had to take cover in consequence for no shield has been discovered which stops a rifle bullet half so effectively as a few feet of soft earth. Such intrenching is only just over a hundred years old, in fact. The great Napoleon for years fought many of his campaigns without the use of the spade, and it was not till the campaign of Jena in 1806 that he "dug himself in!" A few years later the great French commander admitted that trenches were "useful, never harmful, when properly understood." Education in Demand. The British army schoolmaster is a vanishing quantity, because the modern soldier, no matter what his social rank, is able at least to read and write. And the change is rapidly proceeding. The first question nowadays to all applicants for employment is—what education? This demand will tend to increase. Your slipshod artisan is morbund, and the high-trained specialist will take his place. "When Professor Scrapeso plays the violin his very soul seems on fire," exclaimed Mrs. Prebson after the concert "Umph!" replied Mr. Prebson, whose favorite amusement is baseball. "I don't know about his soul, but when he was finishing up that last piece I expected at any moment to see his fiddle strings smoking."

Recently at one of the luncheons on the City Club of Philadelphia there was read an extract from the auto biography of Benjamin Franklin which was raid to describe the first instance of street cleaning by contract in Ct Philadelphia. The incident is interesting also, however, as illustr ing citizen cooperation in its origina simplicity. "One day," Franklin wrote, "I found a poor itinerant man, who was willing to undertake the stepping the pavement clean by sweeping it twice a week, carrying off the dirt from before all the neighbors' doors, for the sum of six pence per month, to be paid by each house. I then wrote and printed a paper setting forth the advantages to the neighborhood that might be obtained by this small expense. I sent one of these papers to each house and in a day or two went around to see who would subscribe an agreement to pay these six pences; it was quantitatively signed and for a time well executed. This raised a general desire to save all the streets paved, and made the people more willing to subscribe to a treat that purpose."—The Survey CAMB QUIT TAKING SNUF Threw Box Away on Hampstead Health, but Was Searching for It Next Morning.

IF YOU WANT YOUR PAGE FIVE PAGE SIX JUST A WORD ABOUT YOUR HEALTH If your health is poor as a result of a weak stomach, lazy liver or clogged bowels — HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS IT HELPS NATURE CORRECT SUCH TROUBLES AND IMPROVES HEALTH SOME HINTS FOR BUILDERS Great Care Should Be Taken in Selection of the Most Substantial Roofing Material. If you were without preparation or plan, rudely placed in a wilderness, your first thought would be of food supply and your next of shelter, for these are the two most vital necessities of mankind. It is therefore natural that the best thought, and study are put upon these two essentials. More forward steps have been taken in the building industry in the past fifteen years, as regards comfort, service and architectural beauty than in the fifty years previous. Only in recent years has the handling of cement in building work been understood properly, and progress is still constantly being made with it. Modern hotels and office buildings are being equipped with sheet metal mouldings and steel veenered doors. Nearly every important change in building construction is away from the fire hazard of wood. One of the most significant developments of recent years is the crushed slate surfaced asphalt shingle which is, on new construction and old, rapidly supplanting the wooden article. There are many reasons for this. The slate surfaced shingles add beauty to any building—in fact, there is really no comparison from an architectural standpoint. Crushed slate of pleasing tints of red or green, is employed as a surfacing. The shingles are uniformly eight inches wide and are exposed four inches to the weather. No painting is necessary as the red or green crushed slate is natural and therefore cannot fade. The purchaser, however, should guard himself against buying a slate surfaced shingle that is not guaranteed by a reliable and responsible manufacturer. There are so many kinds of roofing and shingles on the market today each claiming to be the best that it becomes necessary for the buyer to get some satisfactory assurance that the roofing or shingles are represented honestly.

GERMANYCHANGES SUBMARINE POLICY NEXT NOTE WILL OFFER FULL SATISFACTION TO THE UNITED STATES. PASSENGER SHIPS IMMUNE And All Merchant Vessels To Be Warned Before Attack.—German Troops Occupy Brest-Litovsk. Washington. Two important developments in the relations between the United States and Germany further reduced the tensity of the situation and were taken to foreshadow a declaration from Berlin on the subject of submarine warfare which would eliminate that source of discord between the two countries. Count Von Bernstorff, the German ambassador, called upon Secretary Lausing and informed him that the statement presented by direction of the Berlin foreign office, saying there was no intent to cause loss of American lives when the White Star liner Arabic was destroyed, was intended to imply that German submarine commanders had been ordered to attack no more merchantmen without warning. Ambassador Gerard, reporting from Berlin the substance of a conference with Foreign Minister Von Jagow, confirmed the Associated Press dispatches that Germany even before the sinking of the Arabic had adopted a policy designed to settle completely the whole submarine problem. Crisis Believed Past. The more hopeful officials thought the crisis passed and inferred the views which Ambassador Von Bernstorff had been urging upon Berlin ever since the sinking of the Lusitania had prevailed with the support of the liberals in Germany who have been opposing the anti-American policy of the conservatives. One fact was outstanding in the whole situation. It was that further communication is coming from Germany outlining a policy which is expected to be satisfactory to the United States. It is understood Germany will announce a suspension of her submarine warfare on passenger-carrying ships and that submarine commanders will be instructed not to slak any merchantmen without warning, pending a diplomatic discussion of a proposal for a modus vivendi for relaxations of British blockade against neutral commerce. Germans Occupy Another Fort London.—Brest-Litovsk, the main Russian fortress and concentration center for the Bug river line of defenses, was occupied by the Austro-Germans. The Germans are now in possession of the whole line of railway from Chelm to Bialystok. The Russians having already evacuated the latter city, the lesser fortresses of Grodno and Vilna are now the only strongly defended positions remaining in the hands of the Russians. Both these are being approached by the Germans and probably will be given up when they have fulfilled their purpose of facilitating the retreat of the Russian armies. ALLIES MONEY ABOUT LIKE VILLA'S Sovereigns Reach Lowest Value Since They Have Been Coined. New York.—The English pound sterling is worth less in American money than at any other time since the British mint began to coin it in 1817, when George IV. was prince regent of England. In a thoroughly demoralized foreign exchange market its value dropped to $4.633$, nearly 5 per cent, or 231¾ cents below normal. German money alone stemmed the torrent of downward rates and registered an increase value, reichmarks going to 817%, the highest point touched since exchange values started down more than two weeks ago. The frances of France and the lires of Italy followed the course blazed by Sterling. Frances reached 5.96 and lires 6.47%. More Border Disorders Corpus Chisti, Texas.—Mexican bandits and American peace officers fought in a public road leading into Flurriaries, Brooks county, and one of four armed Mexicans was mortally wounded through the head. None of the Americans were hurt. The three unhurt Mexicans escaped and are being pursued by a posse headed by Sheriff Maupin. There are only five soldiers stationed here, but this incident has cused local authorities to ask for more. THE TULSA STAR INTERNATIONAL CORNER SERVICE MAUD E.

IS A MONOPOLY COURT HOLDS BUYING OUT COMPETITORS VIOLATES LAW. Kodak Firm Given Until November 1 to Act; Huge Profits Shown to Have Resulted From Merger. Buffalo, N. Y.—The Eastman Kodak Co. of Rochester is a monopoly in restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman anti-trust law, according to a decision handed down here by Judge John R. Hazel of the United States district court. The decision grants the defendant company an opportunity to present a plan "for the abrogation of the illegal monopoly" on the first day of the November term. Judge Hazel in his opinion stated that while it appeared that no irremedible hardship would result from a separation of the present business into two or more separate companies, it was not at this time intended to indicate either a dissolution, division or reorganization. It no doubt is possible, he said, that an adequate measure of relief might result from enolining the unfair practices of the terms of sale agreement and from a separation of the business side, but the defendant should have an opportunity to present the court on the first day of the 1915 November term a plan for the abrogation of the illegal monopoly, unduly and unreasonably restraining interstate trade and commerce; or if an appeal from this interlocutory decree is taken to the supreme court and this decision is affirmed, such plan is to be presented within sixty days from the filing of the mandate. FRENCH BORROW $20,000,000 And Allies Are Planning Another Enormous Joint Loan. New York—Announcement is made by Brown Bros. & Company, that arrangements for a $20,000,000 French commercial export credit have been completed and the credit issued. The purpose of the credit is to enable American exporters to be paid in dollars in the United States, eliminating any risk of exchange and thus facilitating our exports. It will also enable French buyers of American merchandise and other commodities who have found it difficult owing to extraordinary conditions now prevailing to obtain exchange with which to settle their accounts with American merchants. Five British financiers, not three as originally reported, probably will represent Great Britain in arranging a joint credit here to meet bills for munitions and other supplies due American exporters, according to advises said to have been received by New York financiers. Haiti Gets Her Orders. Washington.—Turbulent Haiti's new government has been asked by the United States to approve a convention under which for ten years the American government would administer the finances and supervise the policing of the island republic and stop revolutions. A draft of the proposal is before the Haitien congress, sitting at Port Au Prince, where American marines have been maintaining order since the recent killing of President Guillaume by revolutionists. While the diplomatic branch of the United States government is working out a plan for future peace in Halifat's domestic life and foreign relations, the navy department is proceeding with preparation for an extended stay of its marines on the island. Rear Admiral Caperton, in command of the forces now occupying not only the capital but most of the principal towns and strategic points, has the situation well in hand with something over two thousand marines and blue jackets. He is to be reinforced immediately by the armored cruiser Tennessee. --- F-4 FINALLY RECOVERED LOST SUBMARINE RAISED AFTER FIVE MONTHS BY USE OF PONTOONS. NOW IN HONOLULU HARBOR Ship With 22 Bodies Sunk Without Warning on March 2, and 5 All On Board Were Honolulu.—The United States submarine F-4, submerged outside the harbor here since March 25 last, was refloated and towed to the quarantine station in Honolulu nay. Although the F-4 has been brought into the harbor the wreck is still submerged to a depth of six feet. Nothing has been divulged by the naval officials regarding conditions, if known inside the vessel. The F-4, commanded by Lleut. Alfred L. Ede and with a crew of twenty-one men, went to the bottom off the harbor of Honolulu March 25, 1915, during the maneuvers of the "F" squadron. She was located two days later and Diver John Agraz of the navy descended 215 feet, establishing a new world's record in an effort to facilitate the work of bringing her to the surface. Her crew it was said might have been alive at this time but attempts at rescue failed and on March 30 Rear Admiral C. R. T. Moore, commanding the Honolulu naval station reported that the F-4 lay in 260 feet of water and would have to be raised by pontoons. Secretary Daniels announced that the boat would be raised at any cost in order to determine the cause of the accident and diving apparatus and divers were sent out, leaving San Francisco April 6 on the cruiser Mary land. 2 NEGROES ARE BURNED AT STAKE Mob at Sulphur Springs, Texas, Reveges Death of Deputy Sheriff. Sulphur Springs, Texas.—In a fight with an armed posse near here, Joe Richmond was shot and killed and his brother, King Richmond, both negroes, was seriously wounded, and later the body of the dead negro was burned at the stake with his wounded brother in Buford park in Sulphur Springs. The negroes had shot and killed Deputy Sheriff Nathan A. Flippen and probably wounded Sheriff J. B. Butler. Sheriff Butler and Deputy Flippen had started to arrest King Richmond, at a negro settlement nine miles south of here, on a minor charge when suddenly and unexpectedly both negroes opened fire killing Flippen instantly, Butler sustained several bullet wounds after which the negroes beat him over the head and his condition is precarious. The news spread rapidly and within a short time hundreds of armed men were scouring the country, searching for the Richmond negroes. They were surrounded in a wood and in a fight with a posse, Joe Richmond was killed and his brother seriously wounded. None of the members of the posse were hurt. POWDER MILLS ARE BLOWN UP Were Working On Big Contracts For Europe. Acton, Mass.—With a shock that was left within a radius of forty miles the glazing mill of the American Powder Co., which, since the outbreak of the European war, has been working to its capacity, blew up. So far as known nobody was killed. The police of this town and Maynard expressed the belief, that the explosion had been caused with intent to cripple the plant. An official of the company pointed out that the glazing mill, where the powder enters upon its last stages of manufacture, is the only part of the plant whose loss at this time would stop the output. Provision is made for the occasional explosions that occur by having duplicate parts of machinery in readiness but the only other glazing mills in the plant here was destroyed by lightning a little more than a month ago. Two Killed In Delaware. Wilmington, Del.—Two workmen were instantly killed and considerable damage was done to property by an explosion of two black powder mills of the DuPont Powder Company in the Upper Bagley yards, near here. The cause of the explosion has not been determined but officials say it probably was due to a spark or to grih in the powder. Another Ship Load of Gold. New York.—Nearly $20,000,000 in gold and securities worth $25,000,000, the second large shipment sent from London to strengthen British credit in this country, arrived here on a special train of steel cars guarded by thirty-eight men. The shipment came direct by rail from Halifax, N. S., to which port it was conveyed by a British warship convoyed by smaller craft. On the way to New York the train was preceded by a pilot engine and car. Lost. CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!

LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 5 ELIJAH AND THE PROPHETS OF BAAL. LESSON TEXT-I Kings 18:30-39. GOLDEN TEXT- Jehovah is far from the wicked; but he hearth the prayer of the righteous. Prov. 15:29 R. V. Following the lesson of last week we have (ch. 18:1-16) the interesting account of Ahab's search for Elijah and of the prophet's meeting with Obadiah. Verses 5 and 6 suggest the severity of the drought in the land, Ahab's accusation, "Art thou he that troublells Israel," is replied to by Elijah's challenge regarding a contest between himself, the representative of Jehovah, and the king's prophets representing Baal, (vv. 17-25). In accordance with the stipulations the prophets of Baal accepted the challenge and most miserably failed (vv. 26-29). The place of this dramatic contest was Mt Carmel (see map) and the time probably B. C. 906. I. Elijah's Preparation vv. 30-35. On Carmel's crown now swarms a count- less thaw and gives the soul to stand for God. Elijah gave the 450 prophets of Baal and the 400 priests of the groves (v. 19) every advantage possible that he might the more clearly unmask their error and make more signal their defeat. Their frenzied cries and self-injury continued fruitlessly until 3:00 p. m. Then Elijah announces the details which were to remove all possible doubt as to whose champion he was or who is to answer his petition. (a) He calls the people together (v. 30) drawing them high to God and challenging their undivided attention after the confusion produced by the priests and their consternation over their defeat. (b) He constructs the altar (vv. 30-31). Any true and lasting reformation must begin at the altars of God. Restore one in the heart, the home and church and there will return to all unity and strength. Note Elijah's insistence upon an undived nation, as suggested by the "twelve stones." While any lasting reformation must begin in the individual heart, still if it is true and genuine it will work itself out in the nation. "Israel shall be thy name." The "prince that prevails with God," who had wrought for their fathers, who answered Jacob's prayer is now about to answer Elijah. This altar was not constructed as a monument to departed one, nor for the ornamentation of the house of God. It was in God's first cathedral and for his glory alone. On this altar Elijah placed his sacrifice. Again Israel is to prevail over its enemies, this time those within, not those from without. (c) He covered the altar (vv, 33,34) e.g., poured water upon it to remove all possible causeation of fraud or trickery. The trench "as great as would contain two measures of seed" (v. 32) is equivalent to six gallons. Three times water was taken from the spring, still flowing at this place, and poured upon the altar, twelve jars in all again symbolizing the twelve tribes. II. Elijah's Prayer, vv, 38.37. The great prophet even could only secure through prayer his desired blessing through its purpose was "that this people may know that thou Lord art God." His prayer was: (a) Addressed to God; (b) Grounded upon experience that of "Abraham, Isaac and Jacob;" (c) It was for one purpose, the honor of that name; (d) It was to sanction his act in calling forth the drought upon Israel as a punishment for the sins of princes, priests and people; (e) It was founded upon the word of Jehovah, to corroborate and to affirm the works done "at thy word;" (f) It was for the conversion of the people, that their hearts might be turned back to Jehovah once more. Elijah, the man of faith, staked his all upon the Word of God, he gave himself up wholly to the plans and purposes of God, and relied explicitly upon the covenant-keeping God. III. God's Power, vv. 38-40. We are confident Elijah had never seen fire fall and that he must have realized the awful catastrophe involved if it did not fall. Yet he fearlessly makes his plea and the fire fell. It was not an accidental stroke of lightning. God, the creator, worked upon the laws of nature, his servant, and wrought confusion to his enemies. It would be a strange God and father who could not use his own laws and creation to produce a moral effect. The abundance of proof was that not only the offering, but the water and the very stones of the altar were consumed. Risking all, all is won. What we need everywhere is men who will follow in Elijah's steps in order that the fire of God may come upon us. There remained no longer any doubt. God is God. Baal is a sham So they "fell on their faces," yet in spite of the victories of God men today refuse to render unto him like obedience and worship. Compare in this connection the fire of God's holy spirit which came upon the apostles and believers at Pentecost and the resultant convicting power convincing the people of Jerusalem that the crucified Christ was the son of God.

Potatoes have been grown in commercial quantities at the Fairbanks station for several years. The object of growing them there was to demonstrate that good potatoes could be grown in the interior, and the report says that the farmers in the vicinity have taken the hint. Nearly all of them now devote considerable acreage to this vegetable. One farmer estimated his crop as high as fifty tons, which, at 4 cents a pound, or $80 a ton, the lowest price at which potatoes have been sold in Alaska up to the present time, would bring him $4,000. Hog raising has also been started at Fairbanks, the hogs being fed on the unmerchantable potatoes. CUTICURA SHAVING Is Up-to-Date Shaving for Sensitive Skins. Trial Free. Prepare razor.

An iron hoop bounded through the area railings of a suburban house and played havoc with the kitchen window. The woman waited, anger in her eyes, for the appearance of the hoop's owner. Presently he came. "Please, I've broken your window," he said, "and here's father to mend it." And sure enough, he was followed by a stolid-looking workman, who at once started to work, while the small boy took his hoop and ran off. "That'll be four bits, ma'am," and nounced the glazier when the window was whole once more. "Four bits!" gasped the woman "But your little boy broke it—the little fellow with the hoop, you know You're his father, aren't you?" The stolid man shook his head. "Don't know him from Adam," he said. "He came around to my place and told me his mother wanted her winder fixed. You're his mother, aren't you?" And the woman shook her head also. Did He Put His Foot in It? An English soldier, a member of the Second South Staffordshire regiment, says that one bitterly cold night in early spring he and his mates came out of the trenches. They were billeted in a barn, where they were packed in very close. "Though numb with cold, we were soon asleep," said the soldier, in telling the incident. "I was awakened in the night by one of my chaps trying to put his boots on. After he had been trying for a minute or two I heard the fellow next to him say: `'What the ____ are you doin'?' `'Puttin' my boots on,' was the reply.` "Well, that's my foot, you fool!" Naturally Insignant Lige, an old darkey, was suing his wife for divorce, and stated in his allegations that his wife had run off with another negro and that she refused to return and live with him. A party meeting up with Lige remarked: "Lige, I understand that you are suing your wife for divorce?" "Ya-as sir, boss; I done gone and sued her." "Well, Lige, upon what grounds are you bringing your suit?" "Boss, it's jist like dis: She bin run'd off wid 'nudder nigger 'bout fo' years and I jist made up my mind to quit her." Clear Title. Uncle Mose aspired to the elective office of justice of the peace in the "black bottom" part of town. One bar there was to his preferment. He could neither read nor write.

A divorce judge, like a poor marksman, makes a good many misses. --- Slate Surfaced SHINGLES These shingles are made of the same high-grade materials as are used in Certain-teed Roofing. This process recognizes the principle that roofing materials don't wear out—they dry out. Therefore, Certain-teed Roofing is made with a soft center asphalt and coated with a harder blend of asphalt, which keeps the soft saturation within—the life of the roofing—from drying out quickly. This produces a flexible shingle, a true sign of thorough saturation in the slowest drying asphalt mixtures that can be made for roofing purposes. A thick, stiff or heavy-bodied asphalt shingle is by no means a proof of durability on the roof. We use only genuine crushed slate in natural green or red colors for surfacing the Certain-teed Shingle. No painting is necessary. We don't try to use old brick, common rock, or crushed tile from old tile roots. The slate also increases the fire-resistant qualities, thereby minimizing fire dangers and lowering insurance rates.

The imperative need of harmony is borne surroundings as well as in business life is being felt by thinking more every day. It is impossible to do our best work in any atmosphere of confusion, and it is an almost variable rule that illness and the turbulent nerves are the penalty exacted if we allow ourselves to be drawn in to conditions that do not spell harm. Our home is our castle, and nothing should be allowed to enter therein that makes us unhappy. If one is obliged to take strangers into the home on account of financial consideration it is wise to make sure that they are not antagonistic in any way that will affect the family relations, otherwise it is better to give up the extra profit and do with less if it means peace of mind. There is no price too great to pay for harmony for it means health, happiness, financial success to you and yours, the ability to help others, and all through the gaining and holding the mental sense which is the peace of understanding. Some of us have to be beat en with many stripes before we realize the need of and grasp the knowledge of harmony, but those who have already felt a longing for it and pause on it will get the revelation and realize the joyful like benefaction. NOT GRATEFUL FOR THE FALL Bump Saved Greedy Man's Life, and He Immediately Began Cussing His Rescuers. The scene was at the redroom at the Waldorf and the time the close of the oyster season. One of the assistant managers was summoned there hurriedly. "A man has just fallen over dead," said the bellboy who brought the word. The assistant manager hurried in. A thick-set man lay back in a chair, his face blue. The hotel physician was sent for, and the body, still in the chair, was moved to a less public place. The doctor hurried in and advised that the man be taken downstairs at once. He was smuggled around to a back stairway and the assistant manager and the waiter started to descend with him. He was heavy, and when they got half way the assistant manager stumbled, and he and the waiter and the man in the chair fell heels over head downstairs. The man fell out of the chair with a great bump on the steps. From him came a coughing sound, and those who were picking themselves up were startled to see three large oysters fly from his mouth. Immediately the doctor's face took on a cheerful expression. He sent for instruments and extracted several more oysters from the man's aesophagus, and the latter was soon completely revived. Then he proceeded to treat his rescuers to such a flow of language that they put their fingers into their ears. "That's what you are apt to get in this business," said the assistant manager in telling the story recently. "If we hadn't stumbled that man would have choked to death. He had probably swallowed a lot of raw oysters so fast that they completely filled his aeophagus and overflowed into his windpipe. Instead of thanking us for bringing him back to life he cussed us for letting him fall."—New York Times. HELPS TO BUILD CHARACTER Why College Life Has a Distinct Value, Apart From Its Educational Privileges. Just as when a child leaves school and enters business he finds himself buffeting against a world, more or less heartless, so his leaving home and entering college mark his initiation into a small world, likewise more or less heartless. The external changes that come with this are evident even to those who see him daily. Ease of manner, self-confidence and such are noticeable, and the internal development is quite as definitely, though less superficially marked. Our characters get their finest rounding from our sorrows, and it often happens that the little griefs of college life—so insignificant in the big world but real mountains to the sensitive student—are the best strokes in the finished product. "God moves in a mysterious way" It is often a failed course that calls a student to time. A failure to make a coveted fraternity frequently makes a boy take account of himself. And in this way the mistakes that count much in the small world are guards against those that count much in the large—Eleanor Craig, Colorado Agricultural College, Fort Collins, Colo. Bagdad. Bagdad is the largest city and the most important trading center in that portion of Mesopotamia geographically known as "Trak-UL-Arabil," which comprises the privades of Bassorah Bagdad, and Mosul. From the earliest days Mesopotamia has been famous for its fertility, and most of the wealth of ancient Babylon was derived from taxes upon cereals. Alexander the Great marveled at its intricate system of canals and the excellence and abundance of the crops. Many centuries have passed, however, since Mesopotamia was a "garden;" the canals have fallen into disuse and the cultivated area of today is nothing more than a fringe upon the banks of the Euphrates and Tigris rivers. Beyond that fringe lies an art and sterile wilderness. This is the Life. "Do you like being a war correspondent?" asked the twenty-seventh lady trying to show a proper interest in the famous war correspondent just returned to the town of his youth.

Lyuching and Bootlegging Scored by Pastors Lyuching and Bootlegging Scored by Pastors Taking for his text "Vengence is Mine, Sayest the Lord." Rev. Kerkah, pastor of the First Baptist church in his sermon last Sunday, bitterly denounced the spirit of mob law and criticised severely any government which tolerated it. Saying in substance that Leo M. Frank would never have been lynched in Georgia, had the state or federal authorities done their duty in the past to suppress the heartless lynching of negroes in that and other states. It was a very able sermon and took well with the audience. While Rev. Kersh Johnson, pastor of the A. M. E. church, was firing broadsides into the flanks of the local bootleggers and dive keepers. It is said he named his men and then held them up to public scorn and criticism as leppers and debauchers of public decency. Rev.

In this he was mistaken, for the young man, whose name was Roger Kemble, not only succeeded well in his profession, but became the founder of a family that is remarkable in the annals of the English stage. Twelve children were born to the couple, of whom eight reached maturity; and every one of the eight made some effort on the stage. The oldest child, Sarah, became the renowned Mrs. Siddone. The oldest son, John Philip, was probably the greatest actor of his day, and was known as "the great Kemble."
