First African Presbyterian Church In Philadelphia Enjoys Splendid Growth Under the Leadership of Its Energetic Pastor—Clear of Debt and Will Enlarge Present Edifice. By JAMES D. CORROTHERS BY JAMES D. CORROTHERS. Philadelphia. The splendid growth and prosperity of the First African Presbyterian church in this city have compelled the congregation to purchase additional ground upon which to enlarge its edifice to meet its expanding activities. The church is located on Seventeenth and Fitzwater streets. It has purchased the property adjoining and will erect thereon a $10,000 addition to its present edifice, which will increase its seating capacity by at least 350. An addition will also be made to the parsonage and a baptistery, pipe organ, gymnasium and other improvements will also be made to the church. The Rev. John W. Lee, A. M., D. D., the pastor, to whom its success and progress are very largely due, is one REV. DR. JOHN W. LEE of the well known ministers of Phila delphia and a leader in his denomination. He is modest, interesting, unassuming and genial. He is universally recognized as a man of worth by race leaders and by influential white people. Dr. Lee is a self made man, and his struggle for success is an interesting story. Born in Harford county, Md. April 22, 1864, he attended the schools of his native county in the winter season and worked on a farm during the remainder of the year. At the age of eighteen he left home and went to Baltimore to live. There he worked during the day and attended night school. He left Baltimore in 1890 to try his fortunes in Pittsburgh. Believing that he had been called of God to preach the gospel, he entered Lincoln university in 1893, and after taking two years' special work in the college department he entered the theological department, graduating in 1898. He was at once ordained and became the supply pastor for the Madison Street Presbyterian church in Baltimore. He then took up the Sunday school missionary work of the state of Maryland, with headquarters in Annapolis, continuing in this position for two years. In the fall of 1900 he came to Philadelphia to visit relatives and friends and was invited to preach in the First African Presbyterian church. All who heard him were delighted, with his preaching and he was at once invited to become the pulpit supply, the church not being in a position to call a pastor. In 1901 he began to supply the church, continuing until June, 1902, when he was unanimously elected pastor. During his pastorate of the First African Presbyterian church the property has been twice repaired at a cost of $3,000 and a mortgage of $10,000 has been paid off, making the entire property clear of debt. The church is well organized, and more than 300 new members have been added. In 1907, when for sixteen days the church celebrated its one hundredth anniversary. Rev. William H. Roberts, D. D., the moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian church in America; the late Dr John B. Rendalls of Lincoln university and J. N. Rendall, D. D., with other distinguished men from all parts of the country. took part in the exercises. This was one of the most notable events among colored church circles in Philadelphia. Dr. Lee graduated from Lincoln with the degree of A. M. Ten years later the degree of D. D. was given him by the university. He is president of the National Alumni association of Lincoln university, chairman of the Freedman's educational committee of the presbytery of Philadelphia, chairman of the board of control of the Philadelphia Y. M. C. A. and was chairman of the committee in 1911 when the colored people of this city subscribed $22,500 in five days toward the erection of their present splendidly equipped Y. M. C. A. building. Dr. Lee is likewise a member of the Presbyterian evangelistic committee and was the first to introduce open airl tent services for colored people in his section of the city HUNDREDTH ANNIVERSARY OF PENNSYLVANIA MASONS.

French Foreign Legion It is the boast of the French Foreign legion that it can provide men from its own ranks to meet any contingency. Its commander once said his men were capable not only of winning a war, but of writing its history. On one occasion, when a new barracks was being erected, the legion ranks supplied half a dozen qualified architects, and time and again on the battlefield, when the call has been for doctors, the legionnaires have stepped forward and acknowledged their medical qualifications. Once, says tradition, when no padre was available to conduct a burial, the commander appealed to the ranks. A man stepped out and saluted. He had been a bishop. Heredity. Fond Parent—That youngster of mine is beginning already to have the family traits. You know we gave him a stop watch for a birthday present? Friend—Yes. Fond Parent—Well, sir, within half an hour of the time he first got hold of that timepiece he had found a bowl of water and put it in soak—Richmond Times-Dispatch. SEND YOUR SUBSCRIPTION. GETTING IN LINE FOR BIG MEETING Supreme Lodge, With All Its Subordinate Bodies, Attained of Royal Welcome—Attorney Robert B. Barous Heads Local Fraternity—Governor and Mayor to Speak. Columbus, O.—The machinery for making ready to properly entertain the coming Knights of Pythias supreme lodge and encampment, which is to be held in this city in August, was formally set in motion the first week in April. Colored Knights of Pythias throughout the country, when they come to Columbus next August, will find that, properly speaking, the entire state of Ohio will be their host rather than this city alone. The incorporation recently under the laws of Ohio of the supreme lodge entertainment committee marked the beginning of active steps to prepare for the reception of the supreme lodge, encampment and Court of Calantha. The officers of the supreme lodge entertainment committee consist of Attorney Robert B. Barusc, president; W. H. Woods, vice president; W. H. Ferguson, corresponding secretary; John W. Harris, recording secretary; Dr. W. A. Method, treasurer, and a board of trustees including the above named, along with State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson, Robert S. Allen, Colonel Isaac Farley, Captain C. C. Caldwell, Rev. B. L. Gilliam, W. U. Jamison, Miss Ollie B. Pettiford, Miss Mae Smith, Miss Nettle Wyatt and Miss Marie Jones. It is assured that all of the seventy-four subordinate lodges throughout Ohio will contribute financially and otherwise to give visiting Knights and ladies a week of entertainment surpassing that of any other city in which the supreme lodge has ever convened. Memorial hall, a million dollar edifice and the largest and finest in the state, has already been secured in to hold the brilliant banquet and the public entertainments which are to be a part of the week's festivities. The auditorium of the white chamber of commerce has been secured in to hold all of the daily sessions of the supreme lodge, and Lynden hall has been secured for the daily sessions of the Court of Calantha. The governor of Ohio, the Hon. Frank B. Willis, has consented to deliver the welcome address on the part of the state, and Mayor George J. Karb has agreed to deliver the welcome address on the part of the city. Beautiful and ample grounds, centrally located on two lines of street railway and within ten minutes' ride of the heart of the city, have been secured for encampment purposes for the uniform rank. The chamber of commerce will co-operate with the entertainment committee and the colored citizens to welcome the Knights and ladies and to make their stay in Columbia very delightful. Supreme Chancellor Green of New Orleans and General R. R. Jackson of the uniform ranks of Chicago have both been here and have given their approval of the plans prepared by the supreme lodge entertainment committee. State Grand Chancellor W. L. Anderson of Chinchnati, with other state grand officers, is giving active, constant and earnest support, and the state grand lodge as a body, which will be the host, is lending every asistance, financial and otherwise, to make this convening of the supreme lodge the greatest in its history. One of the encouraging features is the active and earnest support and cooperation given by the chamber of commerce and the white citizens general. The committee on homes is busily engaged in listing homes that will accommodate visitors and gives the assurance that ample accommodations will be provided for the thousands of visitors expected that week. From now on until the close of the meeting of the supreme lodge the supreme lodge entertainment committee, aided by citizens without regard to color, will be in full and constant motion. The state of Ohio will aim, in the entertainment of the supreme lodge in this city, to surpass the entertainment accorded in any other city in which the supreme body has been entertained.

Y.—The New Rochelle Co-operative Business league is entitled to a great deal of credit for the work it has done and is doing in Westchester county, N. Y., in making it possible for our people to secure sanitary homes in desirable sections of New Rochelle and also in the county. The league has been in existence a little over seven years and owns a number of fine houses, with latest modern improvements, all of which are occupied by our people. League hall is headquarters for most of the social, fraternal and religious organizations among the colored people in the county. It contains a public hall for social gatherings with kitchen, dining room, check room, ladies' parlor and smoking room for men. At a recent meeting of the board of directors each member of the board agreed to assist in extending the business of the organization and to complete the payments of League hall, the home of the organization. The league is helping those members who are engaged in business, among whom are several aspiring merchants and two professional men. These men all stand together and pull together like the members of one family. If a neighbor wishes to buy a horse or a wagon or a house or a stock of goods to open up a little business for himself the men of the league help and encourage him with their personal or joint notes to secure the money he needs, and they push his business all they can. It is a beautiful spirit, typical of the communal spirit of the colored man on his native heath. It is growing in New Rochelle, and black men there are coming more and more to see that it pays to stand shoulder to shoulder and to help one another to bear burdens. The board of directors of the New Rochelle Cooperative Business league is one of the most harmonious bodies of men to be found anywhere in the state of New York. At their last meeting, held April 1, Manager S. J. Davis asked for $4 to pay certain pet bills, and in less than ten minutes the board turned over to him a little over $75. The board consists of the following members: W. J. Brown, president; E Eckels, S. J. Davis (secretary of the league), J. Bullock, E. Gekecks, Dr. C. P. McCleland, J. E. Bruce "Grit," Henry Davis, Henry Peel, James Brown, J. Thweet, S. J. Crew (secretary of the board), Samuel Craig, Rev. M. A. Bradley and Eugene Rev. It is a growing organization, and its continued existence and activity show the capacity of the Negro for sustained effort along business lines. BIRMINGHAM TO BE HOST OF SUNDAY SCHOOL FOLK. Alabama Metropolis Gets Tenth Annual Session of National Religious Body. Birmingham, Ala. - Assurances are given here by the secretary of the Sunday school congress from Nashville, Tenn., that several new innovations will take place during the tenth annual session of that organization, which is to convene in this city June 9. One of the attractive features will be the Young Men's Christian Glee club of Shreveport, La., which is perhaps one of the most compact religious singing organizations in the United States. While it is not the first singing or organization that has agreed to visit the congress at Birmingham this year, it is perhaps one of the largest. The club petitioned the congress officials to be allowed to appear. The Rev. Gus Williams is the president of the glee club. The petition of the club to be allowed to serve on the program is signed by city pastors of Shreveport, such as Rev. A. H. Samuel, president of the Thirteenth District association; Rev. J. M. Carter, Rev. J. M. Harvey, L. Allen, Jr., E. S. Styles and Charles M. Blouon, a practicing attorney of Shreveport. Another organization that has written to be placed on the program is the Ebenesher quartet of Austin, Tex. This quartet has gained a distinction that no other quartet of ladies in the United States has in doing religious work. They have furnished music each year for the St. John encampment, perhaps the largest gathering of religious state workers in the United States. The congress secretary, who was in this city recently, declared that there has never been as much interest in the meeting as is already evident and that from his visit, he has gained information that Birmingham will furnish the necessary entertainment. AFRO-CHRISTIANS SHOW GRATITUDE President of Progressive International Body of Churchmen in Able Address Calls Attention to What Good White People North and South Have Done For Our Race. One of the most industrious and devout men of our race in the Christian ministry is the Rev. Dr. S. A. Howell of Newport News, Va. He is the honored president of the Afro-Christian convention, which has a large membership, many splendid church edifices and capable ministers. The convention also has within its jurisdiction a large number of well organized Sunday schools and conducts a thrifty work for home and foreign missions. The women's national organization of the convention holds its national convention biennially. At the recent meeting of the American Christian convention held in Springfield, O., the Rev. Dr. Howell REV. DR. S. A. HOWELL. bore the greetings of the Afro-Christian convention, in which he in part said: As president of the Afro-Christian convention I have been chosen to bear greetings to you and also to assure you of its continued interest in the magnificent work of the church and its forgeful of the kinski which exists between the two bodies. When we say kinski we have no allusion to blood, but spiritual relationship, with the teaching of the Scripture, God our Father, Christ our Saviour; hence we are brethren. We recognize the importance of your stories you have achieved, but wish for you the highest possible success in the future, devoutly praying that "as thy days so shall thy strength be." We recognize the importance of the task and responsibility and standards of duty you are called to face, the amplitudes of vision and opportunities which lift themselves before you. But your past achievements prove to us that you are equal to the task and can grasp the vision of the ultimate importance of the speakable altitudes. It is with no little degree of joy that I look on this mighty host, this galaxy of great minds that are here assembled to do business for God. I take this opportunity in expressing our profound appreciation for the help you need to us in making us what we are today. Shall the treachery of memory or memorytitude cause us to forget those whose names will be illustrious? First, those of the south-Revs. William B. Wellons, R. H. Holland, Mills B. Barrett, deceased; Rev. J. W. Wellons, D. D.; Rev. J. Pressel, D. D.; Rev. J. Pressel Liberty, but then the editor of the Christian Sun; Rev. Daniel A. Long, D. D. and Rev. William S. Long, D. D. of North Carolina, whose names are in the home of every colored Christian family in North Carolina, and Dr. W. W. Staley of Buffalo, Va, who has been in our midst for thirty years and has always been ready upon us. We could not be so ungrateful as not to mention some of those of the north who came to our rescue also. They are as follows: Rev. George Young of Carlisle, N. Y., the first president of the Freedman's Literary and Theological Institute, at Franklinton, N. C., now known as the Rev. Ullery Rev. McReynolds and Rev. Z. A. Posta, who was twice elected president and died at his post in 1918, superintending the work of building the greater Franklin. I cannot fail to mention Rev. John Blood, who is doubtless making as great a sacrifice as any one above mentioned. Last, Rev. Ullery Rev. McReynolds and Rev. Z. A. Posta, who was twice elected president. Rev. Josiah P. Watson, D. D., Dayton, O., who said to me thirty years ago, "Go to Franklinton, N. C.; I have made No. 24 arrangements for your education." These are colossal figures in the history of our church. They organized our churches, preached for us and ordained our first ministers. This is a clear demonstration that that saying, "The Negro and the white man of the south hate each other," is arrogant. Then in 1888 we had about ten churches, six or eight preachers and about 500 members. Today we have in the United States, the West Indies and South America about 100 churches, with well organized Sunday schools, choirs, woman's home and foreign missionary conventions and four Sunday school conventions. Thus far we have moved in forty-six years. This is too short a time to lead us to a full understanding. In view of the circumstances, we have done well, emancipated, as we were, largely deistitute of money, education and morals, and, while we have made good showing in all the above mentioned essentials of religion and education, we have also yielded the point where races of superior advantages should do other than lend us a helping hand. EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE Exercises at St. Peter Church. Dr. R. S. Brown will preside. Exercises to eulogize the many friends of the race who have done extensive work to suppress the appearance of "The Birth of the Nation" — the photo-play, will be held at St. Peter A. M. E. Church on Sunday eve, May 23, under the auspices of the local branch of the National Independent Political League. An interesting address reviewing the work will be delivered by Atty. B. S. Smith. On that day every branch will memorialize the efforts of the members and friends of the League throughout the country. All interested in their rights as citizens will make a special effort to attend. Chas. Summer Smith, Secy. Local Branch—N. I. P. League. "THE CLANSMAN" REMOVED. Bemidji, Minn.,—The Clansman, a novel by Thos. Dixon, has been removed from the public library here, through the efforts of Mrs. Chas. W. Scratchin, the wife of Atty. Scratchin, the well known Negro lawyer. The photo-play, "The Birth of a Nation" is the reproduction from this novel, which caused the recent protest against its appearance by the best citizens of the country. Mrs. Scratchin is one of the oldest and most respected white settlers of Bemidji, and a leading church and civic worker. CONG. SCHALL TO SPEAK. Congressman Thos. D. Schall will be the orator-of the day at the Memorial Day Exercises at Crystal Lake Cemetery, Minneapolis, on Decoration Day at 10 A. M. He will also deliver the Memorial oration at Monticello, Minn., at 2 P. M. Mr. Schall is the blind Congressman from the new 10th district, and is one of the best orators and an able lawyer. Life Amid Deathlike Stillness. In the raindess interior of Australia there is a "silence of the grave." This deathlike silence has a peculiarly depressing effect. If two men are camped and one of them goes to a distant township to get provisions while the other remains behind to look after the camp, the man who is to remain says to his friend in forcible, gold fields language: "Now, Bill, don't be long away. You know what kind of a place this is to live in by yourself," or words to that effect. If his mate is away for two or three days the silence gets on the man's nerves and in the end he shouts to make a noise. And often he is afraid of the sound of his own voice.—Exchange.

The members of the order from St. Paul went to Minneapolis in special cars. A moving picture of the parade was made and will be shown at the movie houses later.

SHULL CASE IN COURT The case of State vs. Glover Shull, pres. of The Porters' and Waiters' Club, on Hennepin Ave., was begun Wednesday in the District Court before Judge Morrison. The defendant was represented by Ex. County Atty. James Robertson and Atty. Wm. R. Morris. 1st Asst. Co. Atty. Walter Newton appeared for the state. Mr. Shull was charged with having in his possession gambling devices—Several witnesses were called to testify for the state. The state rested at 2 P. M. Thursday. No witnesses were called for the defense. Lengthy arguments were made by Atty's Robertson and Newton. Atty. Morris cross-examined several witnesses. The case went to the jury at 4 P. M. There were many patrons of the Club present, who were willing to testify for the defense if called. SHULL—NOT GUILTY. As we go to press, the jury in case of State vs. Shull brought in a verdict of not guilty after a few hours deliberation. Mr. Shull may reopen the Porters' and Waiters' Club. If he does, it is hoped he may remove all undesirable features and persons from the premises and make the club what it was at its beginning—a place where men only could find amusement, refreshment and employment. Negro Assistant Co. Attorney. Some talk was made during election about the appointment of a Negro as Assistant County Attorney. We have a stool pigeon in the guise of a Negro lawyer, who aids the prosecution and persecution. Had we a bona-fide representative in that office we would be very proud Every real lawyer and honorable citizen should assist in the prevention of crime, and do so above board. It is very bad when such a poor Negro lawyer tries to carry water on both shoulders. Some must be spilled unless he is "on the level." He is trying to secure general practice and at the same time stooling for the state. This Negro lawyer Franklin would make a good clerk in the County Attorney's office, and Mr. Rees could have him on a legitimate payroll.

GOOD MUSIC AND A GOOD TIME GOOD MUSIC AND A GOOD TIME JUDGE JOHNSON'S GRAND MAY BALL. UNION TEMPLE HALL 28 WASHINGTON AVE. SQ. The Password is "Good Order." ADMISSION 35c EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL. Governor Willis of Ohio Opposed to Color Line Legislation. By RALPH W. TYLER. Columbus, O. — Governor Frank B. Willis, the new governor of Ohio, has proved himself to be one of the best friends the colored people have ever had in the executive chair. The governor insists that the race shall have a square deal, nothing less and nothing more. Two bills were recently introduced in the general assembly of Ohio which were regarded as not only imical, but positively hostile to the race. The first was a sort of omnibus bill regulating and licensing a number of "branches of limited medicine and surgery" and the other to amend the election laws of the state. The first provided that chiropodists and masseurs, among other practitioners, should pass an examination in chemistry, physiology, hygiene, anatomy, bacteriology, etc., before being licensed to practice and that if there existed a state association or society in such "branch of limited medicine or surgery" that organization should name the examiner. There happened to be a state pedic society, which, according to the bill, would have the right to name the examiner who would examine chiropodists. It also happened that this society had drawn the color line—refused to admit colored practitioners as members. When the matter was brought to the governor's attention he insisted that the state of Ohio could not afford to pass any laws discriminatory against any race and intimated that any such law passed could not become a law with his signature. The result was the bill was so amended as to exempt from examination all who had been practicing for a period of five years previous to the passage of the bill, and also amended to deny to the state pedic society, because it had drawn the color line, the right to name an examiner. By setting his foot down flat against discrimination Governor Willis secured protection and justice for the colored people of Ohio. The second bill was that to amend the election laws of Ohio. This bill provided that voters on registering must give their color. Prominent colored men complained to the governor that as the bill did not require the voter to state whether he was Jew or gentile, Irish, German or what not it ought not to require American citizens to state their color. The governor agreed and immediately conferred with the author of the bill, with the result that an amendment was offered and adopted striking out the word "color." Governor Willis has let it be understood that he is the governor for all the people, and that the colored people are one of the units that form the whole people, and that this unit must and shall receive exact justice so long as he is governor. NATIONAL LEAGUE DROPS SOCIAL SCIENCE CONTEST. Organization on Urban Conditions Starts New Campaign of Education. New York.—A social science contest was held last year by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Colored People for the purpose of arousing an interest in social science studies and social service among the students of colleges affiliated with the league. Only a few students at three or four of the institutions manifested an interest in the contest, and the executive board has thought it best not to hold the contest this year. The board has decided to use such funds as are available for the time being in enabling Dr. George E. Haynes, the director of the league, to visit several of the colleges to present the claims of social service as a life work and to interview teachers and students interested in the social sciences and social service. In addition to these visits, steps have been taken toward offering scholarships at different colleges which have developed a sufficient number of social science courses. The first of these is open to candidates this year at Nashville, Tenn. The candidates chosen will have an opportunity to study at Fisk university with practical experience in social work in the city. If funds can be secured in subsequent years the plan is to offer other scholarships at other centers that are developing suitable courses of training, and in these efforts the league hopes for the hearty co-operation of all the affiliated colleges. In order to obtain the largest possible number of applicants from whom to choose the "fellows" for New York and the one for Nashville the educational committee of the league has extended the time for receiving applications from April to May 15, 1915. Applications should be mailed at once to Dr. George E. Haynes, care of National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, 2303 Seventh avenue, New York. Application blanks will be furnished either by request of your teacher of sociology at your own institution or by writing Dr. Haynes at the above address. Signs of Progress at Camp Nelson, Ky. An electric power plant and several business enterprises are signs of thrift noted in the little town of Camp Nelson, in Kentucky.

MAN OF NEGRO ORIGIN; He Cites Authorities to Disprove "Pithecanthropos Erectus" Theory. To the Editor of the Pioneer Press: One of your recent contributors to the Mail Bag makes "pithecanthropos erectus" the Adam of the human family. But according to such well-known authorities as Prof. Augustus H. Kean of the London university, in his "Ethnology" and "Man, Past and Present," Prof. Giuseppi Sergi, professor of anthropology at the University of Rome, Italy, in his work on "The Mediterranean Races," and our own Prof. William Z Ripley, in his work on "Races of Europe;" Dr. Brinton, in his "Races and Peoples," as well as other scholars versed in this department of knowledge, repudiate the hypotheses postulated by the other scientists, and advocate the following pronouncements as most worthy of the consideration of the scholars learned in the science of anthropology: First—The present races of Europe are mere offshoots of a primitive race now extinct. This extinct race was an offshoot of an African or Negro race, who migrated from Africa into Europe during the glacial and preglacial period. "Homo sapiens," "homo heidelbergensis," "neanderthalensis," "loanthropos" and all other early European troglodytes had an African, therefore Negro origin Chancellor David Starr Jordan of Leland Stanford university virtually says ditto to the conclusions of Ripley, Kean, Sergi and others. And as regards the "Aryan race" of the high schoolroom, why, the science of ethnology can find no trace of its existence. The word "Aryan" means light, learning, culture, education in the arts, science and industries. It is a "linguistic" and not an ethnological term. Theosophical writers and theosophical literature claim that the Anglo-Saxon, Celt, Dane, Teuton and the inhabitants of the United States are mere "subraces" of the great 'root race' which was negroid in character and color, so that the Negro is the "true ancestor of man," and man's primitive home was somewhere in Africa.

Nashville, Tenn.—An announcement was made by the National Negro Doll Company that their rush season, which it usually has during the Christmas, is just now on. This is occasioned, declares the manager of the company, on account of the delay in the importation of material from which these dolls are made. The ship was caught and held as a prize of war and was only recently released, hence, the material did not reach Nashville until Christmas day. But the people, says the manager, were so determined to have the size doll they wanted that they all replied "We will wait to get the big dolls." While hundreds of small dolls were sent out, the manager declares that it was surprising to note that the people wanted the dolls ranging in sizes from SEVENTEEN to THIRTY-SIX inches. The orders are being sent out rapidly. Many of the churches have sent in orders for dolls that they might conduct their bazaars. Dolls will be shipped throughout the year, declares the manager of the Doll Company, as we are ready to fill orders as they come. fusion Defective Page effective Page Expert Advice For the Automobile Owner Queries and Replies Covering Matters of Importance to the Man Who Runs a Car In washing a car will a mixture of gasoline and water cut the grease? If so, how should it be applied? No doubt the addition of gasoline to the water in connection with sponging the car will efficiently aid in the cutting of the grease. It would have to be applied either in a spray or sponge, as these are the only two practical methods of mixing it in such a way that it would combine closely enough to form a suitable mixture for cleaning. Kerosene is also frequently used in this manner with success. I have a car with a two speed rear axle. Whenever I go down hill or over a bump with the clutch out I hear a rattle. What is the cause of this? The rattle you mention is probably from the idle pinion on the rear axle. In this axle there are two bevel pinions constantly in mesh, and one of these is always running idle, and the particular gear which is delivering the power from the motor depends upon the position of a dog clutch. When the car goes over a rough spot with the clutch out there is a tendency for the drive shaft to revolve at an unequal rate of speed, due to the inequalities of the road, with the result that the idle pinion is alternately thrown backward and forward against the bevel gear, with which it meshes, thus making a rattle. There is always a certain amount of back lash in these gears, and the amount of noise will naturally depend upon the extent, of this play. There is nothing serious about this, as the noise occurs only at rare intervals, and then is not the indication of trouble. Will you kindly tell me how to bend the gasoline and other tube lines in short arcs without the pipe flattening? Copper tubing of small diameter can be readily bent into short curves by melting rosin and pouring it into the tube. When this becomes cold it solidifies within the tube, and the tubing can be bent like a piece of solid copper. After the desired bend has been obtained the rosin can be run out by heating the tube with a blow torch. Another method sometimes used is to fill the tube with sand, but the rosin method gives the better results. Why has a rotary valve engine five or seven cylinders instead of four, six or eight? The odd number of cylinders gives a more even torque in a rotary cylinder engine. Questions of balance make an even number of cylinders preferable in the conventional type of motor. Is it possible to start the motor in a car when the self starter starts to work and the crank is missing? When the starter fails and the hand crank is not available the best method of starting the motor is to jack up one of the rear wheels so that it will turn without touching the ground. Then place the gear shift lever in high, and a few turns of the uplifted wheel will start the motor. Place the gear shift lever in neutral before letting down the jacked up wheel or you will have a runaway on your hands, or at least the motor will stall, and you will have all your work to do over again. Properly done the entire operation takes only a few moments. What are the common causes for a motor missing fire? Missing fire may be caused by an overrich or too lean mixture, by poor valve adjustment, inaccurate valve or ignition timing, leaks around the spark plugs, cylinder plugs, manifolds, etc., loose ignition wires, weak magneto magnets, water in fuel, faulty spark plugs or those with poorly adjusted electrodes, carbon deposits in the cylinders and overloading. When I throttle my car down on high gear it begins to jump and jerk as though the clutch were slipping. The clutch is all right, however. What can be the trouble? The jumping and jerking action is probably due to the motor missing fire, caused either by poor ignition or faulty carburetion at low engine speeds. Mixtures may be too lean or too rich, there may be leaks in the intake manifold, or the spark plug points may be too far apart or too near together. Look at them first and see that they are spaced a thirty-second of an inch apart. Then see that your vibrators are adjusted. If the trouble is still in evidence your magneto magnets may be weak and require recharging. What is the advantage or disadvantage of the cantilever spring in regard to the three quarter arilic? The main advantage of the cantilever spring over the three-quarter elliptic is that it will give the same carrying capacity with the proper flexibility with considerably less weight. Another advantage lies in its slow period of vibration and the ability to eliminate rebound to a great extent. The weight of a cantilever is nearly all unsprung weight. In the disadvantages the principal one is that a stiff frame is necessary and that a roll is given to the body when the car turns a corner. STAR "ADS"—BRING RESULTS How can one tell when a magnete needs remagnetizing? When the magnetes will not lift and hold about fifteen pounds they are said to be weak. Missing fire at low speeds is the result of weak magnets. When this occurs the magnets should be recharged. What are the respective advantages and disadvantages of the T head and L head types of motors? The T head motor, because its valves are located on opposite sides, allows of the use of large valves, and hence more power is obtainable than in the L head variety, other things, of course, being equal. It is usually more costly to construct than the L head type and has a more symmetrical appearance. The T head, however, is heavier and more complicated than the L head design, the latter using only one cam shaft and having the valves all on one side. What are the advantages and disadvantages of the valve in the head motor? The chief advantage claimed for the valve in the head motor is that, for a given size, it has more power than an L head or T head, because of the fact that larger valves may be used and the combustion chamber given a more spherical shape. There are a number of manufacturing advantages, one of which is that the entire combustion chamber may be machined and given a high polish, thus preventing, to a great extent, the accumulation of carbon. The loss of heat through the cylinder walls of a motor depends to a great extent upon the surface of the walls, and in a properly designed valve in the head motor this wall area is small, compared with that of another type of motor of the same size. This reduction of wall area is obtained because of the absence of valve pockets. The main disadvantage of the valve in the head motor, especially one using valve cages, is that the valve seats cannot be cooled as effectively, as if the seat were a part of the casting. This is true in the cage construction, because the heat, in order to get from the valve seat to the water jacket, must overcome the resistance of the joint between the cage and the cylinder casting. This lack of cooling would not materially affect the inlet valves, as they are kept comparatively cool by the incoming gas, but it would mean more valve grinding in the case of the exhaust valves. Is it possible to maintain pressure in a rear fuel tank when the tank cap is missing? In cases of this sort take an old inner tube, cut out a piece about eight or ten inches long, tie one end tightly, so as to be air tight, then insert the tied end into the tank. Next remove the valve connection from the pump, insert the hose in the open end of the tube and pump until the tube completely fills the hole in the tank. Then tie the outer end securely. This contrivance will hold several pounds pressure in the tank and will last for some time. Is three-eighths of an inch too much play in the wrist pin bushing? Three-eighths of an inch is entirely too much play for the wrist pin bushing, assuming that up and down play is meant. There should be so little play that it cannot be felt by a movement of the wrist pin. Can I silverize glass reflectors? If so, what are the ingredients and in what proportions are they used? An amateur can silverize reflectors, but it is very difficult to make a good job of it. The method by which this work has been carried out is as follows: First fasten to a block of wood the finest possible grade of emery cloth. With this the reflector is smoothed down to a fine finish. It is next necessary to have a melting pot and a thermometer which is capable of measuring more than 212 degrees. Two ounces of lead, two ounces of tin and four ounces of chemically pure bismuth are melted together. Eight ounces of mercury are added at 212 degrees F. and mixed with the melted mixture. This is applied while warm with a smooth camel's hair brush. Which will give the better results, 60 or 74 test gasoline? As between 60 and 74 test gasoline, the 60 test fuel has been found to give the best results as far as mileage is concerned. The gasoline which we get nowadays is much heavier than that on the market, say, five or ten years ago. Can an expert gain any advantage by changing from automatic to hand control in a battery ignition system? A skilled driver might get better results with a hand control of the spark than could be obtained with the automatic type of ignition control for the reason that grade climbing can be accomplished much easier and the loads of the motor considered. In other words, the driver can shift his spark to suit road and motor conditions and thus get the highest efficiency at all times. Send Your Subscription TWIN CITY STAR THE HARRIET TUBMAN CLUB. Organization Named For Noted Leader Holds Interesting Public Exercises. New York—Harriet Tubman day was recently celebrated in the principal A. M. E. Zlon churches throughout the country, and subscriptions were taken toward the fund which is being raised for the purpose of erecting a suitable monument to the memory of the late Harriet Tubman. The services at Rush Memorial church, in this city, were of a particularly interesting character and were held under the auspices of the Harriet Tubman club, with Mme. Marle J. Stuart presiding. Miss Cicely S. Gunner of Hilburn, N. Y., was the principal speaker. Mr. A. A. Schonburg, secretary of the Negro Society For Historical Research, made an historical address, and the music for the occasion was under the direction of Mme. M. Wallet French, the gifted vocalist. The following ode, written by Mme. French, was sung by the audience to the tune of "America." We meet to praise thee here. Thy memory we hold dear. Thee we rave. We know what you endured That freedom we procured. For those enslaved. In those days dark and drear, When all was fraught with fear, You for the cause so dear The dangers braved. Our voices now we raise In this hymn of praise, Our ode to thee. Long may thy memory live, May we all honor give To thee, whose vallant work The slave set free. METHODIST CHURCH NOTES.

According to a recent London dispatch, James Slim, a Negro, native of Jamaica, West India island, has enlisted as a private in the Coldstream guards. Before the war, the report says, it would have been impossible for a negro to join a white regiment in England, let alone one of the proudest and most famous of the crack regiments. The fact of Slim's acceptance is a strong indication of the democratic effects of the war. Slim was in France when the war broke and joined the French foreign legion. Wounded in battle, he was sent to a hospital, where he expressed the wish to join Kitchener's new army. Word was sent to Kitchener, with the result that he was allowed to enroll in the Coldstreams. Slim is now (March 20) training with the reserve battalion at Windsor. Activities of the Sunshine Circle. The Sunshine circle of the Bridge Street A. M.

Their Habita and Customs Vividly Described by Dr. W. H. Shennard. scribed by Dr. W. H. Sheppard. Everyday life in the Belgian Kongo was graphically described by Dr. William H. Sheppard of Louisville, KY., at a recent Sunday evening chapel service at the Hampton (Va.) institute. Dr. Sheppard, who became some years ago a fellow of the Royal Geographical society on account of his African explorations and studies, told the Hampton workers and students about his early experiences as a missionary. In March, 1800, the son of Judge Lapsley, a young white man of Alabama, and Dr. Sheppard made their way into the Kongo region and after many difficulties reached the Kassai river, known to the natives as the "river of spirits" on account of the number of people annually taken by the crocodiles. Dr. Sheppard said: When Mr. Lapley was lying in the cane sick with the fever some natives came forward with spears and were going to kill him and his coworker. Dr. Sheppard faced the hostile people to save the life of the man, and he waded warden known among the natives as the "Pathfinder," because of his ability to find his way into the heart of the country and into the hearts of the natives. After the death of Mr. Lapley I continued my missionary work by establishing a school in the district's message to the people of the interior. The African natives who live under the cruel hand of superstition are to be sympathized with. The twitching of the hand, the snake crossing the trail, the hooting of the owl in the jungle are all signs of some unforeseen danger. Going to the school, the snake crossing a path a crowd went around it on the same side, not allowing it to part them. A man going on a journey, if he stubbed his toe, would never go on; he would stop and spit in the place and go back home. If a man is accused of stealing he is put in a court, putting boiling water three times. If the hand is not scaled he is considered innocent. We watched a man who had been accused plunge his arm in up to the elbow—one two, three times. The skin began to peel off. He was called guilty and was jailed. He was accused of being accused came before the witch doctors. They put pepper in the girls' eyes and hold it tight with a copper wire and say, "If you are not guilty it will not burn you." I have seen a girl going around for weeks with sick and swollen eyes, and I have seen a girl with a guilty. The day of the witch doctor is passing in Central Africa. The natives are learning that Christian doctors and teachers can help them more than the witch doctors. Christianity is taking possession of the hearts of the natives. The police are watching you here describe in detail the economic and social life of the natives. In spite of the fact that his life was nearly taken because he dared to reveal the atrocities committed in the Belgian Kongo by the officers of King Leopold, Dr. Sheppard has been most willing to give all that he can afford to help the Belgians in their dire distress. Dr. Sheppard made clear that the murder of people in the Kongo, where rubber is such an important commodity, was not sanctioned by the Belgians. "The African colony known as the Belgian Kongo was the private property of King Leopold. There are many people in Belgium who knew nothing at all about King Leopold's officers cutting off the hands and ears of natives who failed to gather the quantity of rubber expected of them. "The Master has given me the heart and spirit of Hampton," said Dr. Sheppard in conclusion. "I would not hate any man." READ THE STAR-IT'S NEWS Jno. L. Gibson T. E. H.

The voice of misfortune is ever the same; happiness becomes more silent as it penetrates deeper. He is happiest who best understands his happiness, for he is of all men most fully aware that it is only the lofty idea, the uniring, courageous human idea, that separates gladness from sorrow. — aeterlinck. "Feed a man correctly, give him foods that digest and are normally assimilated and ordinarily he is ready to meet the difficulties and problems of life with a smile. He is optimistic, cheerful, but that same man if suffering from indigestion has such depressed spirits that he is thrown into gloomy forebodings and the whole world seems awry. Our cooks, as well as our ministers, have something to do with rolling this world a little nearer heaven." —Bnyder. "Weep, and you're called a baby, Laugh, and you're called a fool; Yield, and you're called a coward, Stand, and you're called a mule; Smile, and they'll call you silly, Frown, and they'll call you gruff; Put on a front like a millionaire, And somebody'll call your bluff." —Exchange. SIX REASONS WHY I SHOULD JOIN THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR THE ADVANCEMENT OF COL-ORED PEOPLE. 1. It teaches that race prejudice is the most evil thing in the world today and that "Jim Crow" cars, race segregation, anti-intermarriage laws and all other manifestations of it are unchristian and cruel efforts of the stronger to oppress the weaker. 2. It combats in the courts, state legislatures, the Halls of Congress, the government departments and everywhere the spirit of persecution against the Colored People which grows out of race prejudice. 3. It aims to bring about such a healthy public sentiment in this land that Colored People will be accorded all their social, civil and political rights and will receive exact justice in all the relations of life. 4. It believes in and teaches the doctrine of the Fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man, and the equality of all races in our American civilization. 5. It aims to uphold the honor of our women by opposing the passage of anti-race inter-marriage laws. 6. It is composed of members of both races and sexes on terms of complete equality and as brothers and sisters in this holy cause of freedom. It has reached our ears that a league has been organized to fight the Defender, on account of our fight on immorality, vice and crime. The Defender is in the fight to stay and we welcome the support of all loyal friends. We care more for truth than for wealth—Wisconsin Weekly Defender. Editor Cooke of the Milwaukee Defender has done good work with his paper. He is making a winning fight. Any effort to unjustly hurt him will greatly benefit both the Editor and the Defender. Success to the Editor. More power to the Defender. ATHLETIC CLUB CLOSED. The waiters of the Athletic Club served their last meal on Saturday. The members of the Club will enjoy the privileges of the Elk's Club until their new building is completed. It has not been decided that Negro waiters will be employed in their new home. An effort should-be made by the members of the craft to bring this matter before the proper authorities. White girls are now employed as waitresses at the Elk's Club. The old Commercial Club, now the New Athletic Club, had always received satisfactory service from its waiters. Had they depended on white men or girls for service, they would have resorted to the employment of the bums from Bridge Square, or women of the underworld. It is no easy matter to employ about 30 good extra men weekly, and keep a standard of service, and it can only be done by Negro waiters. Many of them have other positions such as porters and janitors, etc., or are students, and with them waiters' work is a side line, much appreciated for which they give satisfactory service. The Editor of the Star has outlined plans with Mr. Scott, which will bring good results with organization. We are not to argue as to who will be headwaiter, or feel that "it does not concern me, because I've got a job." The interest of one is the concern of all. We see the loss of many places where Negroes were formerly employed, and there is not a protest. The Star has been condemned often because it had no "society news."—We care little for fraternal or social standing. We are for the Labor Forward Movement, and NEGRO LABOR FIRST is of most importance to us. We would rather devote an issue of this publication without cost to a demand or an appeal for Negro employment, than a dollar a line for "Society doings." The base of supplies has met a severe attack, and reinforcements must come—Waiters must get together—They support the lodges, lawyers, doctors, preachers, etc. Now they need help. The Negro labor must maintain his place as a porter, waiter, boot black, janitor, teamster, if he must live in this country. The cry of "Back to the Farm" is good, but back to those former jobs in the city is better. They are necessary in these parts. This article is intended as food for thought and action. The Star is anxious to place this matter before many of its white readers. We get much encouragement from many of our loyal friends of both races for our fight to better conditions. Knocks come from every angle, but they are like the idle winds, more good than harmful. This is a fight within the race, and can be won only by united effort. The white people owe us nothing. They have donated liberally to every charitable request, many of them unworthy. They have dispensed unmoral tolerances for political support, devoutly wished by a large majority of constituents. They are inclined to be fair, but have been misled by so-called "leading Negroes", whose misleading and double dealing has been disastrous to the common good of both races. They have taken advantage of our silent consent, when a protest would have changed conditions. And they will recognize the Negro as a laborer if he will properly demand that he is at least entitled to the menial but dignified position as a servant in the exclusive white clubs, many of whose members cannot deny that he has been a material contributor to their wealth and political influence. Mr. John Scott, headwaiter at West Hotel is arranging to meet the several headwaiters to get together to secure employment for members of our race. The Star has always assisted in every way to secure fair recognition for Negro employees. The "leading" citizens have advocated for colored clubs, and now we call on them to unite to demand employment in this branch of service, especially in the clubs, where many members come out at election time, telling their Negro constituents of the many things they have done in the past for them. Some have done well and the waiters know who they are. It is well knwn also that the real element, (so far as the voting strength of the Negroes of this city goes), are the waiters and porters. They are the home buyers and taxpayers. They are the bone and sinew of the Negro citizenry. Wrong House. It had been a hard day for the book agent. Sales were desperately slow, and as a last resort he decided to try a nearby house despite its shabby appearance. "Have you a Charles" Dickens in your home?" he asked politely. "No," she snapped. "Or a Robert Louis Stevenson?" "No." "Or a Walter Scott?" "No. we ain't; an what's more we don't run a boarding house here either. If you're looking for them felows you might try the house across the street. I understand they keep boarders." Argonaut. TWIN CITY STAR THREE OBJECTIVE POINTS. Harry A. Williamson Enlightens the Grand Orient of Lusitania in Lisbon, Portugal, of Conditions as They Exist Between the White and Colored Members of the Order In America. Brooklyn.—Right Worthy Harry A. Williamson. grand secretary of the most worshipful grand lodge of the state of New York, Free and Accepted Masons, in a letter to the grand master of the United Grand Orient of Lusitania, in Lisbon, Portugal, not long ago, among other things says: In looking through the American Freemason I note that your grand orient has issued a call for an international Masonic conference or congress and that one of the topics for discussion is "The Position of Masons in the American Masonic interests me considerably because of the fact that this grand lodge in which I hold membership is composed entirely of black men, otherwise designated as American Negroes, and I wondered whether the subject for discussion is to deal primarily with the black people of American birth or write what he is living within the territory governed by your grand orient. I do not presume you are very well informed concerning the relations existing between the white and black races of the United States. It is true that at one time many millions of the blacks were slaves of a portion of the whites. It is equally true that many blacks were slaves of that were known as "free Negroes," whose ancestors were never bound by the chains of human slavery. It was through this class that Freemasonry among the American Negroes came into being by virtue of a document issued in 1784 by the grand lodge of England at London. Those who American transmitted the sacred rites of the Negroes were thus generations of other "free Negroes" to the present generation. The white American grand lodges refuse to 'give us that brotherly recognition due all regular Free and Accepted Masons upon at least three grounds—first, be made a prince of the church, second, be imable prejudice because of our dark skin second, to sustain the sentiments just noted these grand lodges fall behind the so called American doctrine—I. e., that no man should be a prince of the church in the same territory at one and the same time; third, that our ancestry as J. E. H. HENRY A. SPENCER, ORDAN MASTER NEW YORK STATE, ORDAN LODGE. regularly made Masons is not clear. In discussing the first cause I can but add the average white American, also the average white American Mason, does not seem to be inclined to judge his black brother according to his mental and moral character. In treating the second cause for nonrecognition, would say this "doctrine" purposely and effectively prevents fraternal intercourse between the grand lodges of white and black Masons, which bodies are to be found in most every country. Some of the white grand lodges in their constitutions or codes of law plainly state one of the requisites for initiation into the order is that the person must be of the "white" or Caucasian race. This, you are aware, is contrary to the spirit and character of the grand lodges do not go so far with the wording of their codes, yet it is absolutely impossible for a dark skinned man to become a member in any of their lodges except he comes from some north African, East Indian or some other countries with the Caucasian race. Their lodges will accept any one who does not boast of African or Negro ancestry. Being deprived of the privilege of admission into these white lodges, the only recourse has been for the black Freemasons to organize such bodies of their own and in turn to obtain their own membership. The son will find two grand orients or, as we term them, grand lodges working in each of the American states. Regarding the third cause, from time to time when confronted with unquestionable documentary evidence the officers of the white grand lodges have been forced to reluctance that the first lodge of black Masons (African No. 459) was as regular in the manner of its establishment as were any of those composed of white men which came into existence during the eighteenth century. But many of their members fee as did that great American man who was a slave that before they call a black Mason "brother" they would prefer to leave Masonry. Space will not permit me to discuss the whole subject at a greater length than I have herewith. I only want to inform you of the importance to impress upon the minds of the white grand bodies of this country, and that is the black American Mason does not crave social relationship with his white coworker in this great scheme of human fellowship, nor does he desires the absorptive nature of the white grand lodges. All we ask and all we want is for them to acknowledge before the whole world that we are "brothers" Masonically and be accorded such other rights due from one Mason to THE MORAL PHASE OF NEGRO LIFE. Home Training Most Important. Says Miss Nannie H. Burroughs. The moral phase of the Negro problem is the most serious part of the whole aggravating question. To improve the standard of the life of the masses is the only solution. As with other races, the standards in the homes are set up by the women who preside over them. Therefore to bring about a reform the womanhood of the race must be taught how to instruct their children in those virtues, that have made the most advanced races what they are. We are prone to think that the Negro is by nature religious and therefore moral. He is both; but he is not enough of either when it comes to living up to fundamental principles every day life. Because of his crude conception of what the Christian religion really is he too often practices one thing and preaches another. Often the foremost woman in the church is so far from a model for her less ambitious sisters that they look with contempt upon her and discredit religion. This misrepresentation of the genuine article takes many forms and sometimes the one woman is a combination of all. She allows beer drinking, card playing, and ragtime music in her home. She is loose in her conversation. Her language is often smutty. Her demeanor becomes a woman of the street. Her home is a hangout for "sliding elders" and loafing, hungry preachers. Her house is poorly kept. Her children are too young to be men and women and too old to be children. They are theregore the freshest things in the neighborhood. They run the church. They sit in the front heat, chew gum, talk and keep their "gang" giggling. To speak to them is to throw a match into a magazine of powder. These wise and talented youngsters of the leading sisters, get into the choir and start trouble for the choristers. They get religion and start trouble for the deacons. These children of too many of those who aspire to leadership in our local churches presume too much on the standing and influence of their mothers and give our churches all kinds of trouble. What we need is a new type of women in our homes as mothers, and a new type of women in our churches as leaders and examples for the young. The wig wearing, gum chewing, beer smelling, mouth running, street trotting, home neglecting, convention fever type of women are out of style, and from them may we soon be delivered. The struggle for today, is not altogether for today; it is for a vast future.—Abraham Lincoln. WHY NOT BE FAIR WITH THE NEWSPAPER MAN? No one has an opportunity of learning the characteristics of individuals more than the publisher of a race paper, and no one has more varied and peculiar experiences. There are those who will pay the subscription as regularly and as promptly as it is due without delay or hesitation, just as they would any other debt. This is the desirable and welcome subscriber. There is another class who subscribe as willingly and will pay the subscription at that time, but it is almost impossible to collect it again, for it is almost impossible to find the individuals as they move from place to place so frequently. Then there is the responsible subscriber who feels that he is good for the subscription but never pays unless a personal demand is made upon him for it. This may ease his conscience, but it is almost as difficult to collect his subscription when it is needed most, as it is to collect from the man who is not responsible. Then there is the subscriber who imagines that every one pays his subscriptions except himself and that the publisher is well to do and does not need the money. He keeps the money in his pocket until it is thawed out by first one process and then another. Some subscribers never intend to pay and by first one subterfuge or another avoid payment until the publisher in self-defense must stop the paper and collect the subscription by legal process when this is possible. Really the subscribers to race papers should feel a deeper interest in their success and adopt the habit of paying for them promptly, and in that way may lighten the burdens of the publisher and insure better and more regular publication of the paper.-Kansas City Sun. At a town meeting a large taxpayer rose up to protest against building a new schoolhouse in a certain part of the town. "What's the good of it? They are an ignorant set down there anyway."—Argonaut.
