XXXVI, NO. 6 WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1915 THE GRAND- FATHER CLAUSE Big Meeting of Ministers—Day of Thankgiving—Great Speeches by Great Men. One of the largest meetings ever held in this city was in the Metropolitan Baptist church last Wednesday evening, under the auspices of the Baptist Ministers' Conference and the Ministers' Alliance. Dr. Norman presided. He opened the meeting with a few introductory remarks and presented the following: Program. Music, Metropolitan Baptist Church choir and congregation. Prayer and praise service, led by Dr. C. H. Stepteau. Remarks of chairman. Music, Metropolitan Baptist church choir. Resolutions — Committee — Holland Powell, W. H. Brooks, J. T. Clarke, J. P.

BROOKS, Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, and reported the follow- ing preambles and resolutions which were adopted by the great crowd presen- Preamble and Resolutions. Therefore, be it resolved, That we, citizens of African descent, in mass meeting assembled, do hereby express our thanks to Almighty God, who in such manner, and at such time, has given the race through the highest tribunal of our country, renewed assurance of the fact, that the cause of right and justice shall through though it suffer long, and no weapon that is formed against it shall abide the test of time. Resolved further, that this decision REV. M. W. D. NORMAN, of the Supreme Court, coming in the darkest hour of the emancipated people, and in this, the jubilee year of the collapse of the institution of American slavery, is an exhibition of real moral heroism, and of loyalty to truth, to duty, to humanity, and, above all, to the claims of the Constitution and the spirit of Christian civilization, and is a forceful reminder that the God in whom we trust bringeth all things to pass'after the counsel of His own will, in the fullness of His own appointed times, and by what means He will, making even the wrath of man to praise Him. Resolved still further, That we accept this new emphasis of our charter rights as a summons to renewed consecration, on the part of the whole race, to a higher living and greater efficiency in the educational, industrial, and political affairs of the nation, and we pledge ourselves, under God, to strive together with all patriotic Americans to promote our country's material growth and well being, and the triumphs of civil righteousness. Be it resolved yet again, That we meet in our respective places of worship on the second Sunday in July and there pour out our praise and gratitude to God for this expression of His goodness, and continue our cries to Him for the taking away of the oppressions which we still suffer, and for the silencing of the tongue of the oppressor who would make them yet heavier, for "He giveth power to the faint, and to them that hath no might He increaseth strength." And lastly, be it resolved, That we urge the colored citizens in every section of the country to put a high estimate on his franchise and exercise it, not as a mercenary slave, nor as a slave to party, right or wrong, but as a free citizen to give his support to men and measures, which make for the common good of the state and nation, and for right and justice to every people on the face of the globe. H. POWELL W. H. BROOKS J. T. CLARKE J. P. GREEN J. C. VAN LOO F. T. CLARKE DEFEAT OF THE GRANDFATHER CLAUSE. (From The Boston, Mass., Christian Science Monthly.) Boston, Mass., Friday, June 25, 1915. Defeat of the Grandfather Clause. Dereal of the Grandfather Clause. The fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States provides that all persons native to or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. States are forbidden to make any law that shall change the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States, nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law. The fifteenth amendment declares that the right of the citizens to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of race color or previous condition of servitude. Notwithstanding, since the ratification of these amendments, or since the close of the period of reconstruction following the civil war several of the states of the Union, for reasons deemed by their legislative, judicial and executive officers to be sufficient have devised, adopted and enforced methods for the limitation of the franchise right of negroes. Many of the earlier methods were hastily devised and were so crude and so defiant of constitutional authority that they were voluntarily dropped or soon prohibited by federal court decisions. About fifteen years ago, in the framing of a constitution for the new state of Oklahoma, there was' invented for restriction of the negro vote a device that has come to be known as the "grandfather clause". Other states, among them Maryland, in time adopted this clause, but in the last named state it has been applied only to elections in municipalities. The Oklahoma "grandfather clause" provid's that "no p" "all be re WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JULY 10, 1915 JOHN H. HARRIS HON. MARTIN B. MADDEN of III inois. Who is a Presidential Possibility. registered as an elector in this state or be allowed to vote in any election herein, unless he be able to read and write any section of the constitution of the state of Oklahoma, but (and here is the clause in question) no person who was on Jan. 1, 1866, or at any time prior thereto, entitled to vote under any form of government or who at any time resided in some foreign nation, and no lineal descendant of such person, shall be denied the right to register and vote because of his inability to so read and write sections of such constitution." In Maryland the law authorized the registration as voters of all taxpayers of a city assessed for at least $500; all duly naturalized citizens, all male twenty-one years of age, and "all citizens who prior to Jan. 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland, or any other state of the United States at a state election, and the lawful male descendants of any person who prior to Jan. 1, 1868, were entitled to vote in the state of Maryland, or in any other state of the United States at a state election." It was held by defenders of the "grandfather clause" that it did not "deny" or "abridge," in a constitutional sense, the right of the negro to vote, but that it merely discriminated against him by allowing others to vote without meeting the qualifications imposed ostensibly upon all. Of course, this form of reasoning was unsound. Manifestly, the ostensible creation of a common qualification was a subterfuge. The decisions of the United States supreme court handed down on Monday by Chief Justice D. White, declaring both the Oklahoma and the Maryland laws invalid, because repugnant to the fifteenth amendment, show plainly that the highest tribunal in the nation could not accept the "grandfather clause" as anything more than a subterfuge. The chief justice, himself a southerner, in his opinion says: "We are unable to discover how, unless the prohibitions of the fifteenth amendment were considered, the slightest reason was afforded for basing the classification upon a period of time prior to the fifteenth amendment. Certainly it cannot be said that there any particular necromancy in the time named which engendered attributes affecting the qualifications to vote which would not exist at another and different period unless the fifteenth amendment was in view." This disposes neatly and finally of the claim that there was no intention of violation of the fifteenth amendment, but it does better still: it disposes neatly and permanently of the "grandfather clause." A GOOD APPOINTMENT. Mr. Amos A. Steele, who was recently appointed probation officer of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, and who was formerly the private secretary to Judge Slddons when he was Commissioner of the District of Columbia, and later to Commissioner Brownlow, is one of the most competent and most popular officials who have heretofore filled that position. While his many friends were pleased to learn of his elevation to the above named position, they were no less grieved to have him leave the District where he was held in such high esteem. Mr. Steele is a young man who possesses the ability to make friends, not with the high alone, but low and humble as well, he ever too busy to listen to the "down and out." whit or black. He is highly respected by all of the employees of the District Government who know him, both white and colored. Native of Virginia. Although an employee of the District for less than a year Mr. Steele has made many friends, and his capability won early recognition. Born in Virginia, Mr. Steele spent his early life in that state, graduating from the Shenandoah Normal School. For a number of years he taught school in Virginia, and then took a course in commercial branches in Northern Indiana University. Later he taught commercial branches in Greer College, Hoopeston, Ill. After leaving Illinois, Mr. Steele was employed for more than two years in the office of the commandant of the Norfolk navy yard. His next position was in the Library of Congress, where he spent two years. Subsequently he served as secretary of the House committee on colnage, weights and measures during one session of Congress. He was then made secretary of the joint committee on revision of laws of the United States, a work in which he was engaged six years. During this time he was actively engaged in the work of revising the federal statutes. He made the index and the tables for the federal criminal code and the judicial code Mr. Steele has served as secretary to various members of Congress. He was appointed secretary to former Commissioner Sldons August 15 last and was retained in the same position under Commissioner Brownlow. His name had been prominently mentioned in connection with the selection of a successor to Edgar S. Martin, former supervision of playgrounds of the District. Mr. Steele was not a candidate for the position for probation officer, the appointment coming as a complete surprise.

One of the delightful innovations of the hotel this season is an afternoon tea, which is served to the guests daily at two o'clock. Mingling with the strains of the orchestral music, can be heard the faint hum of merry chatter of the guests, who HOTEL DALE. seem to enjoy this feature of the day immensely. On Saturday evening, July 3, the first hop of the season for the guests and friends of the hotel was held. The ball-room, with its handsomely gowned pretty women and attractive men was an inspiring sight. Special Appeal. More than a generation has passed passed since these old soldiers left their homes for the battlefield of the Civil War. Fifty years ago, they passed the general review in this city on their return from that terrible conflict, the result of which gave freedom and liberty to four million slaves. It is hard to realize that half a century has gone by since that day, and it is only by trying to look fifty years into the future that we can fully appreciate such a length of time. The great majority of those who went forth to battle have passed to the "great beyond," and the few that are left will gather once more (and perhaps for the last time) in our city in companionship on the 28th day of September, 1915, to shake the hands of Comrades, Exchange Greetings, and relive in story those days of long ago. "For what they did and what they are, Remember them to day." Remember them to-day. The Colored Citizens of the National Capitol, believing that they owe a debt of gratitude to these honored heroes, have organized a committee (under the sanction and with the cooperation of Mr. Wm. F. Gude and Col. John McElroy, chairman of the Citizens' and Committees on Reunion Encampment) for the purpose of givose of giving a grand reception to these visiting veterans on the evening of Sept. 29, for which the Convention Hall has been engaged. The committee appeals to the churches, societies, and other organizations, and all lovers of freedom and liberty, for their financial and moral support to make this worthy cause a success.

C. A. LIBRARY OPENING. Beginning Tuesday evening, June 13, 1915, from 7:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. the library bf the C. Y. W. C. A., 429 T street northwest, will be open for the convenience of the reading public. Miss Louise L. Denney, assistant librarian. The Library just recently received some very material improvements through the efforts of the Library Committee by way of the installation of so much needed book-cases, library lamps, etc., and the books have just been catalogued by Miss E. L. Lethberry. All of which will add materi- ally to the convenience of the readers. More than a hundred books have also been recently added. It is hoped that those interested will interest others and make the "Home" their headquarters. BRILLIANT CLOSING BRILLIANT CLOSING Bethel Literary held a most inspiring meeting at its close. It was North Carolina night, held in honor of Rev. E. E. Ricks, pastor of First Baptist church, who leaves this community to accept a call in Roanoke, Va. Rev. Ricks goes to Virginia not for more money, but for a greater field of usefulness. His heart is in social work. He is a man of high ideals, courage and a character builder. He had fought for temperance with his tongue and pen and has lived out in the open a splendid example of a true leader. The meeting was rich in reminiscences, originality and information. All of the invited speakers were from North Carolina. Rev. W. C. Brown, pastor of the beautiful John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church, Fourteenth and Corcoran sts.; Hon. John C. Dancy, the greatest layman of North Carolina; Rev. W. A. Taylor, pastor of Florida avenue Baptist church, one of the best in the city; Rev. W. D. Battle, pastor of Galbraith A. M. E. Zion church, a fine pulpit orator, scholar and gentleman. Music, Mrs. M. W. D. Norman, one of the best trained and efficient music teachers in Washington; Mr. Frank Williams, the song writer, who has not only charmed American audiences, but large houses across the ocean; Mrs. Mae Richardson, of the moving picture shows; Mrs. John C. Dancy, one of the most helpful citizens and an excellent accompanist; Miss Christiana Moody, who wrote a book called "A Tiny Spark," when she was about thirteen years old, recited a selection from that work called "The Negroes' Flag and Country." It would do credit to any poet. Rev. W. C. Brown made the principal address and proved himself a scholar, a thinker, and an orator, having been educated in two of the best colleges in the north, Westbrook Seminary in Portland, Maine, and Yale University. The choir of Galbraith A. M. E. Zlon church, under the direction of Prof. E. N. Broadnax, rendered excellent music. Galbraith can truly say she has a choir second to none in the city. Mr. Wm. Lane presided at the piano. Prof. W. A. Adams and Miss Williams rendered selections from First Baptist choir. Mr. A. S. Pinkett, a trustee of First Baptist church, and first vice president of Bethel Literary, and Rev. E. E. Ricks, closest friend in the church, made an able address in eulogizing Rev. Ricks. Ex-President L. G. Gregory hold the audience spellbound with his address, so full of logic and philosophy. He was eloquent and gave much food for thought. Those who took part in the discussion were: Rev. Best, Dr. Geo. W. Cabanis, Mr. F. D. Lee, Mr. Joseph Allen, Mrs. C. H. Stepteau, Rev. J. L. White, Mr. E. W. Harrison, Mr. F. W. Williams and Rev. C. H. Stepteau. The president, Miss M. A. D. Madre was showered with compliments for her foresight in having this meeting. WHY THE HOWARD DENTAL PARLORS ARE TALKED ABOUT Any place of business that succeeds and steadily grows in spite of competition does so only by the patronage of the public. The public is a stern judge of service rendered for its money and puts its stamp of approval only when proof of good service, honesty and ability show a place of business to stand out as superior. The Howard Dental Parlors, corner Seventh and T streets, have had the stamp of approval placed upon it by the public because of the thorough equipment, perfect service, reasonable prices and most of all the satisfactory and guaranteed work they turn out every day. The quality of dental work turned out at the Howard Dental Parlors is alone all the recommendation the place needs. This establishment has been forced to increase in size and equipment until today it is the largest and best patronized Dental parlors this side of New York. This firm is especially careful in the selection of experienced surgeon dentists to carry on its work. : Those who are fortunate enough to receive appointments in this institution must be thoroughly qualified in ability and dental knowledge plus brains of a standard above the average practicing dentist. They must be capable and modest, not looking upon the degree of doctor as a stepping stone to colored society, but upon their degree as only a means whereby to give perfect and honest service to the public. Dental surgeons of the refinement and ability of Drs. Francis, Hardy, Jones and Hemp do not need an additional degree to stamp them as men and gentlemen. 'No other colored dentist has had the experience in administering gas and extracting teeth Dr. Francis has because they have not had the same opportunity to learn. Blyer View Open A beautiful excursion steamer has been secured from Baltimore to run excursions to River View, beginning Aug. 1. The park is being put in first class order, with all its amusements.

Few States Without an Organization and Demonstrators—Much Money Is Made. In Washington and Oregon, Where Boys and Girls Are Taught Scientifically to Can Salmon. Washington.—"The primary object of the boys' and girls' clubs which are being organized throughout the country with the assistance of the department of agriculture, but in co-operation with state colleges of agriculture," says Secretary Houston, "is to aid young people to become more efficient and more contented farmers and home builders. "The clubs may be organized under the leadership of the county superintendent of schools or any of the teachers under him. If the educational authorities of the county are not yet alive to the possibilities of these clubs the county demonstration agent may take charge of the movement, or if there is no demonstration agent in the county such organizations as local chambers of commerce, the grunge, women's clubs, etc., may assume the leadership. The names and addresses of the boys and girls included in the clubs are collected and sent to the state agent, who will furnish organization and cultural instructions upon request. "Experience has shown, however, that the difficulty is not in organizing a club with a large enrollment of members, but in inducing these members to complete their work and to report on the results. The test of efficiency is not so much the organization of new clubs as continuing interest in those already formed. To assure this continuity of interest various schemes have been evolved to make the club work progressive. "An example of agents adapting their plans to circumstances is the canning of salmon in Washington and Oregon, mainly along the Columbia river. There thousands of tons of salmon have gone to waste annually. At present twenty-five clubs of about twenty members each are canning salmon, turning what has heretofore been wasted into a well preserved article of food. "In the girls' clubs new members grow tomatoes only. During the second year they divide their gardens in half and grow tomatoes and a few other crops. The third year they have more crops. Some of the combinations are tomatoes, beans and beets and tomatoes, peppers and okra. After these have been mastered the girls begin to fill their gardens with perennial vegetables and fruits. In this way, by the time a club girl is ready for high school or college she will have started a permanent garden or orchard. "In practically every club it has been noticed that some of the parents and neighbors of the members invariably adopt the methods of the boys in their various projects. The yields and profits that the boys obtain are the best possible demonstration of the value of their methods. It has been said, for example, that a single corn club boy in one community did more for sound corn culture in his county than five years of public lecturing could have accomplished. "In the same way the success of the girls with their canned products has paved the way for women county agents to demonstrate simple useful lessons in cooking to the mothers. "The new movement of organizing mother-daughter home canning clubs in the north and west is an outgrowth and extension of the work already done by the girls' canning clubs. The club project is confined entirely to the canning of fruits and vegetables, and these may be grown by the club members—the mother-daughter team—or by some one else and purchased for canning purposes." SEEKS LONG LOST SISTER. Fortune of $30,000 Awaits Woman Missing Since Civil War. Perry, In.—John Davenport, a laborer employed in construction work, is seeking the address of his sister, from whom he was separated when they were children. Finding her means a fortune of $30,000 to each of them, as well as to two other sisters. The Davenport children became separated during the civil war, and one daughter, Lydia Davenport, was adopted by a man named Cooley when she was six months old. The Cooley family lived in Green county, near Herndon, and the girl grey to womanhood there. A number of years ago she married and went to Kansas to live. The death of an uncle in Indiana left a fortune to his brother's children, but the estate cannot be settled until Lydia Davenport is found. Washington.—Secretary of War Garrison received from a man in Chicago a letter inclosing 20 cents in postage stamps, with the statement, "For bacon and eggs." Secretary Garrison decided that this was a contribution to the "conscience fund" and sent the stamps to Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo. It is believed the man must have helped himself to Uncle Sam's harder somewhere when he was hungry. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac). When I pulled up at The Bee's de lux edition of the New York World's office, East, Saturday, Editor Chase handed me the following letter: "Dear Mr. Sage: There are no more constant readers of your column in the city than we women. We usually enjoy The Sage every week. Some times you say things we do not agree with, but nevertheless we watch for The Bee each week to read your 'taking off' of 'public men and things,' 'things' frequently including salielles of wit at the public schools. I for one, however, regret your frequent mention of Gaskin's, and Washington's, and Barry's, and Bob Allen's places, and the inference conveyed that you frequent these places, along with some of our other young men prominent in public and social life. The mentioning of these places, I fear, dignifies them in the estimation of our young boys, all of whom read 'The Sage;' in fact, everybody reads your column. May I ask, Mr. Sage, what virtue there is in a saloon to justify your frequent mentioning of them? As a temperance advocate and as a mother, I propound this question to you." The writer of the foregoing letter is one of the most prominent women in the city. As the letter was personal and no permission given to publish her name, I withhold that. I do go to Gaskin's and to Dell Washington's semioccasionally, though I never take anything stronger than beer. I like beer because it is a healthful beverage, and a liquid food in addition. These two places are the only decently kept places a coffee-complexioned individual can get some eats down town. If our temperance friends and the churches would establish a substitute for the saloons, perhaps not so many men would visit them, but we have no substitutes, except on Sunday, the churches being closed six days out of seven. The lady asks me what virtue there is in the saloon. Now, I'm going quite to get right serious, hit the serious trail, as it were, and hand you out a line of dope what's classic. The saloon ain't got no virtue. The saloon is the only institution on earth that can habitually break up homes and lives. It drags its silmy serpent length across the threshold of a once happy home to leave it in shame, and squalor, and grief. Having no virtue of its own, it is never so happy as when destroying the virtue of others. With the same ghoulish glee with which it closes domestic skeletons, it buries 100,000 victims a year, robbing them of their very shrouds as they are shoveled into unmarked graves. To perseguent its own worse than useless and worseless life, it ravishes the virtue of the press, silences blind justice, and prostitutes public opinion, it converts courts into courtesans, congresses into serfs, and the ballot box, the only ark of our civic covenant, into the low and common currency of selfishness and hell. Ahighwayman who hesitates at robbery, a thief who steals with equal glee the character, a franchise, or a fortune, a murderer who gloats in bathing his cruel claws in the blood of the innocents, and a rape-friend—all are philanthropists in comparison with the liquor traffic—with the saloon. Now that putting it pretty strong, and I fancy it will tickle this temperance lady to hear me talk this way, and at the same time it will make Aaron Gaskins, Del Washington, Bob Allen, Barry, and other distinguished mixologists who sell liquid dope hate me like the devil hates holy water. I just suspect that the next time I drop in one of their places they will show me the door, and say they have decided to accommodate me with no more credit. But for heaven's sake, be reasonable, Mike. Just remember Aaron, Dell, Bob, Barry, et al., that I got to please all classes in running this weekly output of readable dope. This lady has asked for an opinion, and being the attorney-general for the coffee-complexions of this bailiwick, I got to give an opinion, even if it is one of them Jack Bunsby opinions—"an opinion what is an opinion." Now I've pleased this lady, and I've told her the gospel truth. Dr. Arthur Gray, who never drinks anything stronger than Gray's ice cream dopes, will tell you its the truth. But, nevertheless, I'll reckon I drop around as usual and spoil a bottle of Faust now and then, and eat devil crabs, and other boarding house hash, cause Aaron and Dell have got the best places in town where a gentleman of my standing in the Musciage Club can drop in when down town for a bite to eat. If these temperance advocates and these goody-good church people would only take some of the money they send to Africa to convert the heathen, and some of the money they swipe off the collection baskets, and put in some substitute for the saloon, we society climbers would not have to visit these "nausty" places. Why, don't you know, and he told it to me himself, Aaron Gaskins would rather run Rigg's Bank any day than run that dugout of his around on Eighth street. And Dell Washington, who started life as a barber, and a mighty poor one at that, told me he would have given the eighth thousand dollars he gave Jim Gray for that New Willard price and Little Willard service joint around on D street for Kann's store if he could have made the turn, cause he would rather sell calico, muslin, stockings, and cheap jewelry than sell poor brands of whisky and a lot of slop labeled beer. Now these fellows aint wedded to the saloon business, and if some of you good temperance and church folks will just ease over to them a way to get out of the business, and still make ends meet, they will agree with you that there aint no virtue in a saloon. Doc Warfield once told me that liquor just naturally eat up the intestines, corrugated the stomach, and made the brain look like a half dozen dissipated crabs on the dissecting table. And if there is a man in this town what knows for a dead moral certainty what anything will do to your insides, its that man who runs Freedman's Hospital like white men run big hospitals. Take it from me, there aint no virtue in a saloon. I ```markdown ``` IT IS QUEEN BEATRICE The Rose That Won the Medal JESSE C.

Endorse Work of the Citizens Committee.—Grand Army to be Entertained. An enthusiastic meeting of the committee for the entertainment of the G. A. R. Veterans during their reunion in this city, was held at the St. Luke building, Thirteenth and U streets northwest, Saturday, June 26, at 8 o'clock. There were several present on this occasion who had not attended the other meetings of the committee. They expressed themselves as heartily in favor of the movement to entertain properly the veterans who will in all probability not have the opportunity of attending another reunion at Washington.

Chattanooga.-The Dixie highway, from the great lakes to the gulf of Mexico, was given definite form when the commissioners from seven states adopted its route. Chicago was selected as the northern terminus and Miami as the southern. The commission designated a west and an east route between Indianapolis and Miami, but a plan was adopted to connect the north portion of the two lines with a road along the eastern and western shores of Lake Michigan and connecting the southern portion with a road from Miami along the west coast of Florida, thus making a continuing loop of the highway. The commission voted to invite Michigan into the association to provide the lake loop and pledged itself to extend the east route from Dayton, O., north through Toledo to Detroit. Among the principal cities on the route between Chicago and Chattanooga are Danville, Ill., Indianapolis, Louisville and Nashville, while south from Indianapolis on the west route are Cincinnati, Lexington, Ky., and Knoxville. BACK BROKEN, LEG OFF, HE WINS M. D. DEGREE Doctors Didn't Reckon With Keith's Indomitable Will. Philadelphia.—A broken back, loss of one leg by amputation and the other by paralysis couldn't keep Jim Keith from achieving his life ambition. A spirit that would not be conquered overcame the tremendous handicap of his infirmities, and, having successfully passed final examinations at Jefferson Medical college, he is now a doctor. Jim's home is in Schaefferstown, Pa., but he probably will never see it again. Nor will he practice his profession. In the little white room on the sixth floor of Jefferson hospital Jim is destined to spend the rest of his days. At his side when news of his success reached him was his young wife, her eyes, radiating pride and happiness, matched by the triumphant glow in his own. "I told you you could do it," she exclaimed rapturously. "Jim, you're a doctor. 'Dr James Keith,' my, but it sounds good!" "Yep," assented Jim. "We'll have to tell the baby about it." For there is a baby, Ida, cute and winning, just a few months old, but full of wisdom and understanding. Jim is sure she'll know all about it when he tells her. Dr. Keith—but he will be Jim always to the fellows—is twenty-seven years old. It was in April a year ago that he was taken into the Jefferson hospital, his back broken from a fall from a window. Physicians said he couldn't live, but they reckoned only with medical science and not with their patient's indomitable will. Jim was then a senior in Jefferson college and had been married but a few months before. Last January Keith lost his leg. It became infected and had to be amputated. "By special permission I was going to take my exams, last Christmas," he explained, "but then I got sick—really sick—and I didn't take them." It was this sickness which resulted in the loss of his leg. And through it all Jim came victorious. Only death itself, it seemed, could quench his spirit and his winning, ever ready smile. STOPPED BLOOD WITH THUMB Woman Saved Life of Man Attacked by Murderous Robbers. St. Louis.—Mrs. Frank Roose of East St. Louis saved the life of Oscar Bilger, forty-five, by stanching his wounds with her hands until medical aid arrived, when he was attacked by three negroes on the outskirts of Cahokla, Ill., and his throat cut. The negroes later were arrested. Bilger was driving his horse and wagon from East St. Louis to Cahokla, selling brooms and mops to farmers along the way. Near the town three negroes accosted him and offered to buy his horse. Bilger climbed from the wagon, when two of the negroes seized him by the arms and the other ran a knife across Bilger's throat and then stabbed Bilger in the neck. After robbing him of $24 the negroes escaped. Mrs. Roose witnessed the attack on Bilger and, running to the injured man, she thrust her thumb into the stab wound, thus stopping the flow of blood. Holding the edges of the other wound together, she assisted Bilger to a nearby house. NEARLY LOST FORTUNE. Farm Hand Changed His Name and Was Found With Difficulty. Sloux City, Ia.—Using the name of Albert Brown nearly cost Albert Bourne, a transient farm hand, a fortune of $7,000,000 left him by an uncle who died several months ago in Melbourne, Australia. After a search through seven states Bourne was located on a farm near Lincoln, Neb. It was discovered he had been at a hospital in St. Joseph, Mo, paying a dollar a week for board. His inheritance consists of 330,000 acres of free land, 25,000 sheep, 400 horses, hundreds of cattle and 550,000. Bourne & In. JAMES H.

The time and place for holding the convention will be designated by the Republican National Committee at a meeting to be held early in December. A death blow was given the grandfather clause by Chief Justice White, a native Southerner and former Confederate. June 21, last, when he declared States cannot use qualification tests as a subterfuge for the disfranchisement of Negro voters. The Cuban Exposition was recently opened at Panama, at which time the thirteenth anniversary of Cuba's independence was celebrated with civil and military ceremonies. Prof. Karl Pearson, of the University of London says: "First born children are on the average inferior, physically, mentally, and morally, to the brothers and sisters who follow them." During the present month 710 new rural mail routes have been established by the Post Office Department. Governor Brumbaugh of Pennsylvania has approved appropriation bills passed by the Legislature providing for Negro institutions, amounting to $72,000. Shiloh Baptist Church of Fredericksburg, Va., has received from the U. S. Government $1,200 for Civil War damages. The people of the United States spend nearly $600,000,000 annually for music, according to statistics. It has been mentioned that a part of this money should have been spent to develop musical education in the public schools. German railroads are experimenting with electric locomotive headlights so mounted that an engineer can direct their rays wherever needed. Mrs. Polly Anne Weed Strodes, 70 years old, of Evansville, Ind., who has been married thirteen times, announced she would seek a divorce from Harrison Strodes, age 82 years, and would marry the fourteenth husband, if opportunity permitted. In the fiscal year ending March 14, 1914, Canada welcomed 400,000 new settlers. It has been reported that from 12,000 to 20,000 poor people of Mexico. City stand in line at the food distributing stations for seven days from 3 o'clock in the morning until after dark waiting for food. Lawyer Fountain Peyton, the recently appointed member of the Board of Education, seems to meet the approval of everyone. One hundred priests of the Catholic diocese of Newark, N. J., voted not to announce from the pulpit any entertainment or social at which modern dances will be allowed. The dances were declared to "becoming worse." Mrs. Jess Willard, accompanying her husband, who is traveling with a Wild West Show, is said to be in the worst stages of tuberculosis, according to four physicians.

There should be organized what you may call a real business association consisting of men in real business. You cannot make a business association out of office or department clerks. Let the department clerks organize a departmental association. Let the editors organize an editorial association, and the correspondents a correspondents association. Let the bankers be separate and apart from a business league, etc. Then again, let every business man and woman do like the Jews. If a Jew wants anything he will go to a Jew to purchase it. This is the greatest race in the world to teach you business. In this city there is a Business League among colored people. You can find everything in it. The preacher, as a rule has more to say in the colored business league than the real business man who conducts a first-class business. In this connection The Bee wants to emphasize the importance of the colored people in Le Droit Park to visit the grocery store of Mr. H. T. Swan, 2021 Fourth street northwest, Le Droit Park. This store contains everything that the people in the park may desire. If you don't find what you want, Mr. Swan will send for it. Call any way. You are not obliged to purchase anything. Why should the colored people in the park go to their enemies when they can make themselves stronger? Take Harlan's Toggery Shop where all kinds of men and boys' furnishings are sold far below those down town. Mr. Harlan' should have fifteen colored young men in his store as salesmen. Why is it that he hasn't this number? It is because there is too much jealousy among the Negro masses. They would rather patronize a firm that discriminates against you and when you enter it, you are invited to the rear of the store. Then there is our department store at 1832 Fourteenth street where shoes are sold cheaper and better than those that can be purchased elsewhere. Ladies' garments, men's goods, children's goods are sold at this department store. If the Negro business men would only patronize one another they would succeed. A man or woman who conducts a grocery store should patronize the man or woman who conducts a department store. This method of cooperation is bound to succeed. There are just as good colored ice cream firms in this city as can be found elsewhere. No better cream is sold on the market than that made by Mr. Rose, Twenty-first, near L street northwest. There is no necessity to sneak into a "jim crow" moving picture veiled in white to hide your identity when we have such places as the Howard, the Hiawatha, the Dudley, the Foraker, and many others that are high class and successful. There is no necessity to apply to a "jim crow" drug store when we have so many far superior to the whites in the city. There is no necessity for so-called respectable colored people to steal to the back stairs of a white lunch room at midnight for sandwiches when they can go to a colored lunch room in the neighborhood of Seventh and Florida avenue northwest, as has been done on several occasions. Such "jim crow" Negroes would rather eat in a white man's back kitchen than to walk to a dining room conducted by one of his own race and be seated at a table and enjoy food like civilized beings. These are the conditions that the colored business men must contend with among their own people. It is a question, whether the young Negro is taking advantage of his opportunities and whether he is improving himself considering the advantages offered him. Allo to follow. THE LOST HONOR THE LOST HONOR. When Judge F. L. Siddons was Commissioner of the District of Columbia, the last act of his administration was a recommendation for the appointment of a colred ex-soldier in the 10th United States Cavalry for the police department, who had passed the board of surgeons. This brave colored soldier, who had served two years faithfully in the 10th Cavalry, was honorably discharged from the service without a blemish Judge Siddons what you may call a blue-vein democrat, knows no man by the color of his skin. Prejudice and discrimination against his fellow man are strangers to his make-up. When he recommended this young and spotless soldier for appointment on the force, little did he think that his recommendation would have been turned by subterfuges. Little did he believe that the color of a man's skin or his nationality would be a bar to his appointment, after having justly merited the honor. There is a difference between a blue vein democrat and a second class one. Not since the retirement of ex-Commissioner West has there been but one man, democrat or a republican, and he is Judge Siddons, who has given colored applicants for the police force a square deal. It was Judge Siddons who had the termity to appoint two competent colored men as full fledged detectives. One of these men is a physician by profession and his education surpasses that of any white man in the police department, the chief of police, Mr. Pullman, not excepted. But, when the four or five promotions were made in the detective bureau, not one of these worthy colored detectives received the slightest consideration. Just think of it, a colored population of one hundred thousand citizens and paying taxes upon from 15 to 20 million dollars worth of property, not being considered in the equation, and not holding a representative place in our local government. If the administration is anxious to appoint a Colored man to a representative place, and a man who has faithfully served the democratic party; a man of high moral character and one with fine executive ability, Dr. Waldron is the man. He would make a first-class recorder of deeds. He is a man of character and ability. Nothing can be said against him. He has been a consistent supporter of the democratic administration. Referring to the "lost honor," of which brief mention is made in this article, The Bee can imagine how Judge Siddons feels to be deprived of his "lost honor." The Editor of this paper is a republican and always has been. He is a republican because he is grateful for what his people have received since their emancipation. And all they have received, education, property and a chance to live, were given them by the republican party. Let's reflect. It is a lost honor to Judge Siddons because it was one of his noblest acts. He knew that he was doing something that many false republican pretenders failed to do under republican administrations. He knew that the same God who made him made those who have been oppressed for over 300 years. Those who despise the colored man because he is colored, will some day come to an untimely end. It is a lost honor to Judge Siddons. INSURANCE COMPANIES. The greatest drawback to the 100,000 colored people in this city is their lack of cooperation. There are numbers of insurance companies operated in this city by white men who have no more appreciation for the colored than to get their money. The National Benefit Association is strictly managed by Colored Americans. An observation of this association will present a most remarkable spectacle, such as never before witnessed in this city by Colored Americans. The systematic method of conducting this insurance company is an evidence of the honesty and integrity of its managers and officers. You will find young ladies of the highest culture, graduates from our schools, carrying on the business of this association under a strict disciplinarian. The National Benefit affords young men and young women to keep employed, while avenues in the white insurance companies in the city are barred against them. Why should these one hundred thousand colored people continue to patronize these white insurance companies that refuse to employ our girls in a clerical capacity? Why can't the colored population see the importance of insuring in their own insurance companies to enable it to employ thousands of our young men and women who would appreciate a position under the management of their own people? As it will you see hundreds of our young men and young women graduates, pupils and, indeed, a number of teachers, working in white lunch rooms, bar rooms, and hotels and summer resorts to enable them to earn an honest livelihood. Why should they continue to be the "hewers of wood and drawers of water"? It is an easy matter for the masses to unite in a common cause and to support institutions and business enterprises by themselves. The National Benefit Association has set an excellent example as a guide to other colored enterprises. Visit this great institution and ask for the manager and say to him that you would appreciate the courtesy of walking through the building in which its offices and compartments are located. You will be surprised to witness Negro thrift and industry. This insurance company will offer you greater inducements than any other company in the city. Open your eyes, colored citizens, and see what you are losing. Grasp the opportunity now. Our enemies are trying to crush us. It is true that we have some good and substantial friends among the white people, and wherever you find them you should patronize as you would those of our own race, but by no means should we support or give the least encouragement to those who are of the opinion that our people should not be supported. Let every colored citizen withdraw his support from any insurance company or any other kind of institution that refuses to give consideration to the worthy and deserving young colored man and woman. Awake!! The day has broken!! THE PEOPLE'S DUTY. It is the duty of the colored citizens in this city to issue a call for a representative meeting of their citizens and lay before them the conditions that exist in the colored public schools. Would any other city outside this tolerate such unrest and conduct of school officials and teachers? Would any other city permit a school official to close the schools with impunity? Those who are interested in the welfare of the colored schools should call a meeting of the people and appoint a committee to lay before the President of the Board of Education the real condition of the colored schools. If reports are true, Chairman Blair has become wiser since the attempted removal of Dr. Lucy Moten, and believes no doubt that a change in the administration of the colored schools is an absolute necessity. It would be a great deal better for Dr. Thurston to make a change than it will be for Congress. Because as sure as the sun rises Congress will make a change in the present administration of the colored schools if Dr. Thurston fails to do so. The present colored administration of the colored schools will eventually put the entire school system on the hum. President Blair, as well as Dr. Thurston, admitted that the charges of the assistant superintendent of schools against the principal of the Normal School No. 2 were absolutely false, and were without foundation. That being a fact, it makes the accuser "per sonno non grata" in our schools. It is a principal in law that "false in one, false in all." What right had the assistant superintendent of schools go over the head of his superior officer? Is this not an act of insubordination? An inferior officer who is insubordinate to his superior after the superior officer stated to the appointing power that he had made a personal investigation of the alleged charges and found them to be false and then the inferior officer takes an exception, who is right and who is to blame? Who should resign? Who should be removed? President and Dr. Thurston, it is up to you both. If Dr. Moten has not been guilty of the alleged charges against her as you and Dr. Thurston stated to the board of education, then a successor to Roscoe Conklin Bruce should be appointed at once. There is plenty of material from which a selection may be made. The unanimous choice of the teachers is Dr. W. S. Montgomery. Take a vote and ask them their choice. Suppose we take a stand vote. ENDORSES THE BEE'S DEFENSE. I want to endorse your very proper defense of former Auditor for the Navy, Ralph W. Tyler, against the fling made at him by Tife Richmond Reformer. You made one error, however. Mr. Tyler did not promote a colored man to chief of the law division in his office. He did at one time assure Lieut. Thomas Clarke that if he secured transfer to his office he would place him in the law division, and had Lieut. Clarke done so he doubtless would be the chief of that division today. In addition to the things you mention Mr. Tyler did, he made David Braudon assistant chief of the claims division, in which claims aggregating many hundreds of thousands of dollars are settled. And he did make a Colored clerk sectional chief, in charge of the reviewers of the work of other clerks. Mr. Tyler secured more promotions for colored clerks than any colored federal official who ever served in Washington, and had it not been for him the writer would not now be enjoying his advance salary. Stranger things have happened than the fortunes of 1916 returning Ralph Tyler bigger and stronger than ever. You are to be commended for defending this ex-official who did so much for colored clerks, and the community in general, and especially the schools. ONE WHO APPRECIATES. Perhaps Mr. Tyler prevented the doughty editor of the Reformer from securing coveted campaign funds on the strength of an alleged national organization, which was only on paper, back in 1908.—Editor The Bee. OUR REPUBLICAN CLUB OUR REPUBLICAN CLUB. The Capital City Republican Club is a representative colored republican organization. It is composed of men who believe and always have believed in the principles of the republican party. Its membership is steadily on the increase. Several new members were enrolled this week and in a few weeks a republican rally and barbecue will be held in one of the public parks, on which occasion addresses will be delivered by some of the leading republicans in this country. It is hoped that at least from one to three thousand colored men will be enrolled by the time of this great rally. A meeting of the executive committee will be held Monday afternoon at The Bee office, on which occasion arrangements will be made for the coming barbecue. EXTRACT FROM EDITORIAL IN BEE JULY 3, 1915. "It was but a few weeks ago when a Negro school teacher was seen by the Editor of The Bee, whose face was hidden by a white veil, walk into the Hyppodrome, etc." Now, if the esteemed Editor will kindly assume that disguise and walk through You street and down Fourteenth any night next week, he will not only accomplish much good detective work, but will also afford much pleasure to a host of admiring friends and "constant readers," We have seen and do see all we desire on Fourteenth street. SUPT. THURSTON. Whoever heard of the recommendation of an assistant superintendent of schools having precedence over the recommendation of a superintendent. If the board of education, that is the majority, of those who were opposed to Dr. Thurston, had adopted the recommendation of the assistant superintendent, explicit as the law is, that would have been sufficient cause for the Supreme Court to have removed that majority for the violation of law. If the recommendations of Dr. Thurston are not to be followed, then the present school system is no good. It is the duty of Dr. Thurston to take the Colored Normal School and clean it out, with but two or three exceptions. Let the principal of Normal School No. 2 select her own teachers. PRESIDENT BLAIR. The Board of Education knew what it was doing when it reelected Mr. Blair president for another term. President Blair will not stand for dirty work or injustice if he knows it. The Bee endeavored to convince President Blair two years ago that a change in the administration of the public schools was an absolute necessity. He is no doubt convinced "all that glitters is not gold." The Bee congratulates President Blair on his reelection. The removal of Misses Jesse Wormly, Mary Dickerson and Mrs. Hunter from Normal School No.2 is the wish of the people and for the good of that school. An investigation of the recent markifg of the recent graduates should be instituted at once. Dr. Thurston, do your duty; the people are with you. HOWARD THEATER Mr. Thomas' Latest Sensation. The latest sensation at the Howard Theater and will be continuous is the four thousand dollar piano, with 28 instruments. It is a gem. This piano is an orchestra in itself, which is charming. Aside from the vaudeville and moving pictures and the regular orchestra. This remarkable instrument is operated by Prof. Phil Word, leader of the Howard orchestra. The music from this piano is a concert in itself. The pictures at this theater are the best in the world. There is no picture exhibited anywhere that is not presented at this theater. It is a pleasure to go to the Howard theater. The prices are so fixed that they will meet the pockets of everybody. By all means go and see and hear the latest sensation. SOUTHERN REPRESENTATION The National Republican Committee, after the decision of the United States Supreme Court, should reconsider it former action, in recommending the cutting down of representation in the Southern States, by recommending an increase of delegates to the next National Republican Convention. The republican party has been acting like a committee of republican cowards, that want a thing but is afraid to ask for it, when the object it seeks is for its advantage. A man like Governor Willis in the White House would teach the democratic south a lesson. It would teach one thing; and that is that all citizens in the United States, black and white, must be respected. OBITUARY. Miss Parthenia Woodson. PROF. R. J. DANIELS. 616 3d_St., S. W. Lloyd's Station on the W., B. & A. About two thousand persons attended the union picnic of the Knights of St. John of Baltimore, Prince George's County, and Washington. The day was an enjoyable one, and the great gathering was orderly in every respect. The Prince George's County School Board held its July meeting July 6, with all members present. Prof. E. S. Burroughs, the most worthy secretary, brought glowing reports from the annual session of the Maryland State Teachers' Association. Among other progressive ideas, he advocated the appointment of a grade supervisor for the schools of Prince George's County. This will be a long step forward in the educational work of the county when the system is aided by the appointment of a grade supervisor. This class of work among the Colored schools is being carefully looked after by Mr. James F. Armstrong, the Supervisor of Colored Schools. BIG SUCCESS. The Eagle's Picnic for the Benefit of the Baptist Old Folks Home-An Enjoyable Time Enjoyable Time. The picnic under the auspices of the Washington Eagle at El Carey Park was successful in so far as the local promoters are concerned. It is probable that if the Virginia end of the affair could have been managed so that the crowds which assembled at 35th and M streets could have been hauled by jitney buss to the park a substantial sum would have been turned over to the Old Folks Home. A mob of white crowded into the several jitneys as fast as they drove up and refused to budge, so that many turned back. Those who made the trip witnessed the Virginia White Sox trim two of the local teams. The pavilion was in excellent condition and the music of high order. Among the speakers were George H. Richardson, John H. Paynter, Thomas H. R. Clark, Charles E. Lane, J. Finley Wilson, William H. Clifford, J. I. Bryant was much in the lime light on the occasion.

Christ's Sepulcher Is Closely Guarded by Turkish Soldiers. AGES IN MOSLEMS' HANDS. Famous Jerusalem Shrine, For Which the Crusades Were Undertaken In the Middle Ages, Will Leave Sultan's Possession if Allies Win—Contained Within Walls of a Church. London.—The holy sepulcher at Jerusalem, for the possession of which the crusades of the middle ages were undertaken, will at last become the property of the Christians of the world in case the allies win in the European war. Today the keys of this the most venerated sanctuary in Christendom are held by the Turks, and Moslem sentinels stand outside of its doors night and day, while the pavement in front of its main entrance is occupied at all hours by beggars and street peddlers, who assail visitors and passersby. The sepulcher is contained within the walls of a church. In which not only the Catholles, but also the Greeks, the Armenians and the Copts, have altars of worship. It is a grotto or cavern, consisting of two rooms bewn out of living rock. The outer chamber, which is sixteen feet long by ten feet wide, is called the Chapel of the Angels. The inner room is the sepulcher itself and contains the stone on which the body of Jesus reposed. It was in the outer chamber, the visitor is told, that the angels announced the resurrection to the holy women. In the middle of the floor, covered with white marble, richly carved, is a portion of the stone on which, as described in the Scriptures, the angel sat on Easter morning. Suspended from the roof are fifteen lamps, representing as many Christian nations, which are always kept burning. A door so low that the visitor can pass only by stooping gives entrance to the inner room, pointed out as the ```markdown ``` TURKISH SOLDIERS GEARING GATEWAY TO HOLY SEVULCHER. actual burial place of Jesus, which is hardly more than six feet square. The stone on which the body of the Redeemer lay is raised three feet above the ground and, covered with a man's slab, is used as an altar. Inasmuch as only four persons at a time can find room in the small chamber, the Catholics, Greeks and Armenians are obliged to take turns in performing services. The Church of the Holy Sepulcher is surmounted by a dome. Beneath the dome is a rotunda, off which is the Chapel of the Apparition, marking the place where the Saviour first showed himself to his mother after the resurrection. But this is only one of many sacred associations pertaining to the ancient bolaite. Just inside the main door is the stone ofunction on which the body of Jesus' was laid while it was anointed by the holy women before burial. On entering the church the visitor ascends to the top of a stairway, where a tablet set in the wall states that this was the place where Christ was "stripped of his garments." For it should be understood that the sacred edifice here described actually covers the rock of Calvary, and a long strip of mosaic in the floor marks the spot where Jesus was nailed to the cross. Beneath a nearby altar is the hole or socket in which the cross was planted. It is lined with silver. The holes for the crosses of the two thieves are on either hand a little to the back. On one side of this altar, inclosed by a silver railing, is the rift made in the rock at the moment of the death of Jesus. This cleft extends downward to a hollow beneath, known as the "grotto of Adam," because the skull of the first man is said to be buried there. Students of history recall the fact that the crusaders under Godfrey of Bouillon captured the city of Jerusalem in the year 1090 and that it remained in Christian possession until 1175. when the Saracens drove out the invaders.

Few Canned Articles Are Used, and Vegetables Are Always Fresh. Washington—Our bluejackets are the best fed fighting men in the world, and if a boy has any leanings toward enlisting in the nation's defense he will make no mistake by casting his lot with the men affloat. He may have a hankering for terra firma, but it must not be forgotten that the army is out-distanced by the navy when it comes to the matter of dietary. The daily issue of food either to the soldier or the sailor out of which three meals are made is officially called a ration. This allowance for the army costs Uncle Sam between 24 and 25 cents, but last year the average cost of subsisting one man for one day in the navy was $0.266. Jacky being the higher liver by the purchasing power of nearly 12 cents more than his soldier follow in the national defense. It is not overstating the case to say that the major part of the fleet's efficiency and the contentment of the men is due either directly or indirectly to the generous and varied provender which is now given them whether the ship be in port or plowing her way through stormy seas. There was a time not long ago when tinned foods were extensively served on board our naval craft, but the fleet is using less and less of these all the while. Upon this point Admiral McGowan, chief of the bureau of supplies and accounts, has recently said: "There are certain things that it is almost necessary to use as a part of a ration. A Photos by American Press Association. MOVISIONING AN AMERICAN BATTLESHIP. For instance, there is canned corned beef, which is so well understood and so well liked in the navy that its use to a certain moderate extent is not only welcome, but most welcome to the men—they like it. Then canned tomatoes and a few other staples; canned fruits and some vegetables canned are very serviceable and are used right along. But the great majority of all the food furnished to the men now, at least in the battleship fleet, is fresh food—fresh vegetables, fresh meats, fresh bread, etc." Surely this is enough to make our old sea dogs rise in protest from their graves. They could remind their young followers of today of the trying times of wooden ships and canvas when "salt horse," "sowbelly," "hardtack" and the like constituted the main elements of the sailor's ration. Tinned foods, as we know them now, would indeed have been a delicacy in the decades gone, but the fighting jacky of those days had to be content with such delectables as "scouse," "lobscouse," "soft tack," "soft tommy," "skillagalea," "burgoo," "doughboys," "dog's body" and "duff," the latter not always able to boast of plums. The water, too, that our seamen drank in those other days was both scant in its allowance when on the open ocean and as likely as not tainted and unpalatable. The public little realizes what nice figuring must be done in order to keep expenditures within bounds. With a total enlisted force of approximately 55,000 men Uncle Sam has to pay more than $7,400,000 annually to make the "timer man" happy. Remember that it costs more to feed the slick, and while the daily ration for the well does not involve an outlay of more than the 30 cents lawfully allowed, still the general average for everybody brings the figure up to nearly 37 cents per ration. GAVE UNCLE SAM ROSES. Grown on Experiment Farm to Test Effect of Climate. Washington.—The formal presentation to the United States government of more than 400 varieties of roses now growing in the experimental farm of the department of agriculture at Arlington, Va., took place recently at a gathering of prominent rosarians from all sections of the country. The roses were accepted on behalf of the government by Dr. W. A. Taylor, director of the bureau of plant industry, who represented the secretary of agriculture at the exercises. The roses have been growing in the experimental farm for about two years. They were donated by florists, both amateur and professional, living in all sections of the country. The roses are being grown at the experimental farm for the purpose of ascertaining the effect of, this climate on the different kinds of plants. Similar testing gardens have been established by the National Rose society at Hartford, Conn.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Ithaca, N. Y., and others are now being established on Long Island and at San Francisco. Two years ago the department of agriculture set aside about two acres of ground in the experimental farm for rose testing. The rose plants were supplied by various rose growers desiring to have different species tested. The testing of rose bushes takes three years. They are examined by experts at frequent intervals during this period and an accurate record kept of their growth and performance. New York.-Hudson Maxim has invented a new position indicator for submarines, which he believes to be at once cheaper and much better than those now in use. This implement will enable a submarine to find her own position under water and will do away with the dangerous necessity of going to the surface for that purpose. Mr. Maxim has applied for a patent on this. He said that while it had not yet been granted, he understood it would be obtained without difficulty and that the device would enable the captain of a submarine to find his position on a map at any time within a short distance. "There are position indicators of an English design in use in all the navies of the world," said Mr. Maxim. "Their work, however, is cruder. There was an instance at the beginning of the war, where a German submarine, caught in a bay by a British hotilla, was unable to find the way out of the harbor without rising to the surface. As soon as she appeared above the water she was attacked and destroyed. My device would enable a submarine commander so caught to locate the mouth of the bay with accuracy and slip out under his enemies. The device also costs only $1,000 to install in a submarine, whereas the position indicator at present in use costs $17,000. It could of course be used on any ship as well as on a submarine. "As to a device to enable a submarine to locate another vessel without coming to the surface, there is no one, so far as I know, who has come anywhere near solving this problem. Every offensive device in the history of warfare has in the end been answered by a defensive instrument, and I have no doubt that in time to come some one will invent a reply to the submarine. But there is no sign of it yet." Mr. Maxim is experimenting with an improved periscope, but was reluctant to discuss this part of his activities. Both this and the position finder, he said, would be offered to the United States government as its exclusive property, and the navy department had already allowed him to inspect the submarines at present in use in order to find the improvement most needed.

Tuskegee, Ala., July 3.—The third week of the sixth annual session of the Tuskegee Institute Summer School for Colored Teachers, with an enrollment of 422 from fourteen States, ended Friday with an inspiring address on "Methods to Check Migration of Negroes to Cities," by Professor Geo. Edmund Hayes, Nashville, Tenn., of the Department of Social Science. Fisk University, the Director of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes. Prof. Haynes was introduced by Prof. J. R. E. Lee, Director of the Summer School. Professor Haynes declared, among other things, that the most vital problem that concerns the American Negro is fundamentally social and economic; that the serious question is, where the masses of the Negroes of the South should live; that the migration of more than 27 per cent of the Negro population to the cities has resulted in a large and increasing urban population; that 39 cities had more than ten thousand Negroes each; that 12 cities had more than forty thousand; that five of these were Northern cities and seven were Southern; that in every city where The National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C.

Department of Theology. 3. Commercial Department. the Negro population has reached a considerable proportion, it is largely congested into district neighborhoods, thus making more acute the problems growing out of their change from rural to urban life, and that the efforts of his organization are directed to help in counteracting this migration to cities, and to seek to improve the serious social conditions growing up among Negroes in the cities and the rural districts. The two fundamental principles that animate the National League, the speaker declared, are to seek the co-operation of the Negroes and white friends and the co-ordination of existing agencies and organizations to check the great migration to cities, and to help those who migrate to towns to learn how to live and survive there and become like other citizens. In carrying out this program of Social Service, several workers are being trained for the special work in Negro colleges and universities, and much good has been accomplished already in Atlanta, Augusta, and Savannah, Ga., Louisville, Ky., St. Louis, Mo., Richmond, Va., Nashville, Tenn., Philadelphia and New York. WHO? The Negro Editors toil and slave for one grand common cause; They lift their voices and cry loud against many unjust laws; Why do they fight on year after year such a hard and thankless task? Why are they pleading for week after week to right whose wrongs let me ask? Who gets the benefits, who stands to win? Who, Mr. Colored Man? Who? Why you! When the white press speaks of the Colored race, it uses much space for crime: When it comes to the defense of our rights, they haven't much space or time; They laud their own race to the skies, but just a word for us here and there; When a poor ignorant brute runs amuck now and then, you will see scare heads everywhere. scare heads everywhere. Who gets the knock out blow? Who stands to lose? Who, Mr. Colored Man? Who? Why you! Our Negro lawyers and business men keep singing the siren's strong— "Show pride in your own race enterprise, be liberal and help us along." But no, the proud birds have feathered their nests and feel pretty safe on the roost. Who spurs the Negro press? Who helps the white? Who, inconsistent men? Who? Why, you! Our preachers and professional men are forever contending that we Should spend our own money among our own folks if we would be happy and free; The Negro press liberally gives them free space to help them spread the good news; Oh, surely, you'd think they would reciprocate, but, bless you, they flatly refuse. Who pays the white press and for- their arm? Tis a thankless task the Negro Editors face, But they love to fight for rights of our race; Fight on, oh, ye editors, brave men and true. St. Peter will not turn down real men like you. Who'll march up to the gate? Who'll walk right in? TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Meeting of the Board of Trustees New York City, July 1—The annual meeting of the Tuskegee Institute Board of Trustees was held at the rooms of the General Education Board, 61 Broadway, New York City, Wednesday, June 30, at 10 o'clock. Mr. William G. Willcox, of Willcox, Peck & Hughes, Treasurer of the Investment Committee, presided in the absence of Hon. Seth Low, Chairman of the Board of Trustees. Also present at the meeting were Mr. Julius Rosenwald, of Sears, Roebuck & Co., Chicago; Mr. Frank Trumbull, chairman of the Board of House & Herrmann 1109 Eye Street, Northwest QUICKEST Directors of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, New York; Mr. E. A. Bancroft, general counsel of the International Harvester Company, Chicago; Mr. Charles E. Mason, of Boston, Mass; Mr. C. W. Hare, editor of the Tuskegee News, Tuskegee, Ala; Mr. R. O. Simpson, Furman, Ala; Mr. William M. Scott, of the Cutter Electrical Company, Philadelphia, and the following additional trustees and officers of the Institute, namely: Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal; Mr. Warren Logan, treasurer; Mr. Emmett J. Scott, secretary; Mr. Charles H. Gibson, chief accountant; Mr. A. J. Wilborn, Tuskegee, Ala.; Mr. R. J. Taylor, director of mechanical industries. Invitations were extended Hon. J. C. Napier, Nashville, Tenn., and Major R. R. Moton, of the Hampton Institute, Virginia, who were in the city to attend a meeting of the executive committee of the Jeanes Fund Board, and Mr. William J. Edwards, principal of the Snow Hill Institute, of Snow Hill, Ala., to sit with the trustees during their deliberations. Dr. Washington's annual report was the chief incident at the meeting. He reported an enrollment during the year of 1437 students from 32 States and territories, 96 of these coming from 19 foreign countries or colonies of foreign countries. Dr. Washington reported the total receipts during the year from all sources, for current expenses, buildings and improvements, endowment fund, and from undesignated legacies, a total of $379,708.83. The endowment fund of the school is now $1,970,214. A particular reason for rejoicing at the meeting was a report made showing that practically $1,000,000 has been raised for the modern steam heating and power plant which has just been completed at Tuskegee at a cost of $274,000, in addition to the money also raised for current expenses. When the trustees met February 27th for their midwinter meeting at Tuskegee, there was due to be raised to complete payment on the steam heating and power plant. A systematic campaign was put under way to raise this money, and during the month of June the whole country had been divided into five parts and had been effectively canvassed. When the trustees met Wednesday, report was made that the amount needed for the steam and power plant had been over-subscribed, two of the trustees alone raising their individual gifts of $10,000 to $12,500 each. The budget for next year calls for an expenditure of $291,567. 4. Literary Department. 5. Department of Music. 6. Department of Literary Training. 7. Department of Industries. 8.

He had thirty-six big mouth black bass that he caught at two hauls with a string line. He was using small minnows for bait and had no luck. After fishing about an hour he caught a little eel. He proceeded to string it, declaring he was going to have something to show anyhow. He dropped the long stringing line over the side of his boat, fished for nearly an hour and caught a five inch trout. He started to pull up his line to string the trout and felt a fierce tug, and after a hard struggle he pulled in nineteen big black mouthed bass, running from a pound to two and a half pounds. The bass had tried to swallow the eel, and it had slid through their gills and strung them. Joe put the bass on another line and dropped the eel overboard again. In forty-one minutes he pulled up seventeen more bass. Crews Will Be Taught to Manage Twelve New Boats. Washington.-Secretary Daniels has announced that the cruiser Columbia, now in reserve at Philadelphia, will be commissioned to serve as flagship for Captain A. W. Grant, commanding the Atlantic submarine flotilla, and also as a schoolship for the training of additional men for submarine service. Since his appointment as commander of the submarines Captain Grant has been closely studying the flotilla and the [Image of a man in a military uniform with a hat and a mustache]. Photo by American Press Association best means to provide for the manning of submarines now nearing completion. In this connection Secretary Daniels said: "In order to man the twelve submarines now rapidly nearing completion orders have been given for the immediate establishment of a school on board the flamship of the Atlantic submarine flotilla for the instruction of personnel, officers and enlisted men. From this school crews competent to man the new vessels will be detailed to them as they may be delivered by the contractors and accepted by the government. "The instruction referred to will be both theoretical and practical, submarines now in commission being used for the practical work, and will cover such period of time as may be necessary to familiarize fully the personnel of a submarine with the vessel to which they may be detalled." When the Columbia joins the flotilla the Prairie, now acting as the flagship, will be utilized as a tender for the submarines in commission. The Columbia was designed as a commerce destroyer, and she and her sister ship, the Minneapolis, were two of the fastest vessels in the world at the time of their commission. The Columbia was one of the ships forming the flying squadron in the Spanish-American war. She has a length over all of 412 feet and a beam of fifty-eight feet. Being commodious, she is an ideal vessel for the purpose for which she is about to be used. Her displacement is 7,350 tons and her speed 22.80 knots. CHILD MAKES RECORD SWIM. Covers 329 Yards In 13½ Minutes In Schuylkill. Philade'phia.—Four-year-old Beatrice Whitelam. daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Bert Whitelam of this city, swam 820 pards in tainteen and one-half minutes on the Philadelphia Swimming club's course in the Schuylkill river at Lafayette. The child started to swim last summer and has been improving her strokes all winter at an indoor pool. She was taken to Lafayette, and while her parents and others followed in a boat she easily covered the distance and showed no distress at the finish. The little girl started with the breast stroke, later alternating with in overhead drive. Only once, and that when so instructed, did she rest by boating. CELEBRATING LIBERTY ARE WE NOT SLAVES? "Stand Fast In the Liberty Wherewith Christ Hath Made You Free."

Slaves In the Pews—Slaves to Wealth—Slaves to Poverty—Slaves to Sinful Passions and Appetites. Only One Way to Liberty. New York City, July 4.—Pastor Russell, last night at the New York City Temple, W. Girl St, near Broadway, took for his text, "The creature also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the sons of God." (Romans S.21). He de- FASTOR GUESSEN clared that his text, one of the greatest promises for humanity, does not relate to true Christians, but to mankind in general. True Christians are already set free, so far as their hearts, their minds, are concerned. Saints, Christians, he averred, are a rarity today, as they have always been since the Master declared, "Fear not, little stock; it is the Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom."—Luke 12:32. Not until these shall be perfected by the glorious change of the Chief Resurrection will the time come for delivering the groaning creation from its bondage. In other words, the world's blessing tarries until the completion of the saintly company gathered out of every nation and denomination during the past nineteen centuries, and called in the Bible "The Church of the First-borns," "The Very Elect," "The Lamb's Wife," "The Body of Christ" etc. Jehorah is a God of order. All His good purposes will be fulfilled in a most orderly manner. Six great days of a thousand years each have already passed over us, according to the Scriptures, and have been periods of darkness under a reign of Sin and Death. During this time God has allowed our race to experiment with sin and to note its bitter results—to experiment also in endeavors to recover from sin and its penalty, death, with its concomitants of sleekness and sorrow. The long schooling of six thousand years is not to be in vain. The lesson that "the wages of sin is death" is not to be lost. Mankind is not to be left to destruction, but is to be recovered. Earth's billions, lying as unconscious in death as the brute, are nevertheless subjects of Divine interest, sympathy and provision. In the Seventh Thousand-Year Day, earth's great Sabbath, assistance will come to our race. Broad Foundation For Human Salvation According to the - Divine Program, Christ will then be the great King over all the earth, and the great antitypical Priest, to uplift all the willing and obedient. He will be the Antitype of Melchisede, who was a priest upon his throne. If the Divine Purpose had merely been that the Lord Jesus Christ should do this work alone, there would have been no need of His coming into the world nineteen centuries ago to die; for He could have accomplished the entire work at one time. Now, at the beginning of the seventh thousand years, He could have died for man's sins, thus redeeming all from the curse that came through Adam; and then, risen from the dead and glorified with the Father's power. He could at once have begun His great work of setting free the prisoners of Sin and Death. But the Heavenly Father had a better Plan. He had purposed the selecting of the saintly few from amongst men, to be associated with our Lord Jesus in His Kingship and His priestly office. God has laid a broad foundation for a great work for humanity, in providing not only the necessary kings and priests for the Millennial Kingdom, but also valuable experiences for mankind through the reign of Sin and Death and through human endeavor to overcome these. By now all should be satisfied that life everlasting must come as a gift from God. A Race of Slaves. During Messiah's thousand-year Reign the groaning creation will be delivered from bondage into full liberty, proper to sons of God. Behold what terrible bondages are upon mankind! Look at their ignorance, their superstition, their fears, their weaknesses, mental, moral, physical, and the sum of these disabilities—death. Consider the hundreds of millions alive today that need assistance, and the thousands of millions unconscious in the tomb. Their awakening from death will not be the fulfillment of this prophecy of resurrection. It will mean much more—the uplifting of mind and body to all that was lost in Adam and redeemed at Calvary. This does not signify universal salvation, except in that the Bible promises that "as all in Adam die, even so all in Christ shall be made alive, every man in his own order"—class. (1 Corinthians 15:22, 23.) The giving to all mankind the full opportunities of the Millennial Kingdom will fulfil God's promise. Those who shall intelligently refuse God's gift of everlasting life, by refusing His reasonable requirements, will die the Second Death. But those who at the conclusion of the Millennial Age shall have profited by. The Messiah's Kingdom will be received into God's family and will be granted all the liberties and privileges proper to the sons of God.—Revelation 21:4; 22:3. Although we should understand what God has promised of Restitution to human perfection for the groaning creation in general, it is still more important that Christians recognize the share of liberty which has already come to them. (Galatians 5:1.) Do not misunderstand me to refer to the great mass, Catholic and Protestant, noted in the statistics as 400,000,000 Christians. Alas, no! That great mass is deceived. According to Bible standards and their own confessions, they have neither lot nor part in the Church which is the Body of Christ. This great mass is well represented in the nations of Europe warring for commercialism, the one to obtain, and the other to hold, the key of power and access to the world's wealth. Saints there undoubtedly are in all the warring nations; but they are so few that they have virtually no influence, but are forced by the others into the struggle. The mass of these nominal Christians neither know Christ personally nor give evidence of having come into God's family through the begetting of the Holy Spirit. As truly as the heathen of other lands, they are "without God and having no hope." There is a hope for them; but they know it not. Responsibility of Clergy and Layty. Where lies the responsibility for present conditions—that the millions of Europe are fighting like devils, each army deceived into thinking that it is the Lord's army, fighting for God and righteousness? We believe that the responsibility lies close to the door of the churches of all denominations, and especially close to the door of the religious teachers, who assume great responsibility in calling themselves the clergy and setting themselves above their fellows, styled the lalty. These ministers of the civilized world, more than a quarter of a million in number, represent a highly favored class of humanity. The majority of them have much above the average of education, and far above the average of time for study and thought. How are they using these wonderful opportunities and privileges, and the influence which goes with their positions and which is accentuated by the superstition of the masses? I freely acknowledge that they are not responsible to me; as it is written, "To his own Master each servant stands or falls." It is quite proper, however, that we remember the Master's words, "Out of thine own mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked and slothful servant." (Luke 19:22.) What a fearful retribution apparently awaits these professed ministers of God and of Christ who, instead of using their great opportunities for emancipating the people from the slavery of ignorance, superstition and error, are using them to promote mental bondage! Moral Cowards Everywhere. Moral Cowards Everywhere. The clergy neglect their opportunities for educating the people to a proper conception of the rights of man. They have fostered the fallacy that the kingdoms of the world are kingdoms of God, and that serving the king is serving the Lord. They have not taught the people the broad patriotism that "the earth is the Lord's and the fulness thereof," which He hath given to the children of men; and that national barriers of selfishness and national aggressiveness are contrary to the rights of man. The clergy of each country, supported by the governments, have in turn upheld these governments; and if they have not told the people that the voice of the emperor or the king is the voice of God, they have certainly not disabused them of that idea, which the clergy of past generations inculcated. Now that the war has come, and the misdirected people are blindly fighting for their errors and misconceptions, what is the attitude of the clergy? Under the pay or the protection of the governments, are they not all supporting the governments from which they receive their pay? Are they not intent upon encouraging the ambitions of these governments and stirring up the people to war? Do they not approve the legend on the belts of the German soldiers, "God with us"? Do they not follow the lead of the Archbishop of Canterbury, in England, in encouraging the thought that all who enlist are engaging in a holy war for God? The Archbishop is credited in the press with urging the boys and the girls of Great Britain to marry early and bring up large families, that there may be more such Christian soldiers to battle for church and state. Policy and hypocrisy are written all over the affairs of the world falsely called Christendom—Christ's Kingdom. These are not Christ's Kingdom, nor are these Christ's ministers, if we shall judge by the Savior's statement, "His servants ye are to whom ye render service"—whether God or Mammon. The clergy of lands not directly involved in the war are praying, and urging the people to pray. To God to stop the war; but we hear no suggestion, from any quarter, of proper preaching and teaching to show the people the brotherhood of the human family and the sin of murder, whether committed by commands of kings, emperors, or otherwise. Where is the courage? Where is the moral stamina? It is lacking. Why? Because true Christianity is lacking. Christ's true followers are courteous, Jesus refers to them all as overcomers. not aycophants; as lovers of peace, who contend not with carnal weapons: His followers must necessarily, nevertheless, be true heroes, copies of their Master, not afraid to speak the truth and not afraid to die for their courage. What a power a quarter of a million professed ministers of Christ might be if they truly took their stand on His side, lifted up their voices, and even now confessed how seriously they have misled the people in respect to earthly things, as well as regards the things of the hereafter! Hypocrisy the Greatest of Sins Judged by their utterances, the great mass of those professing to be ministers of Christ are hypocrites. In private conversation, if cross-examined, they confess that they do not believe the Bible, and declare that no educated person could believe it to be a Divine revelation. Asked whether they believe in a future life, they answer that they have some hopes of a future life, but that these are built, not upon the Bible declaration of a resurrection of the dead, but upon the Platonic philosophy that nobody is dead. Asked whether they believe in eternal torture, they reply, Certainly not! Indirectly, however, they have given the inference that they believe it; and surely they have not done anything to take from the people that nightmare invented during the Dark Ages, when for twelve hundred years the few Bibles there were were relegated to the cloister and the closet, and the world was taught by self-styled apostolic bishops, who claimed the same authority of inspiration as the Twelve Apostles whom Jesus named as His only mouthpieces. There were murderers, thieves and drunkards in Jesus' day, as there are today; yet the Master denounced as still greater sinners the religious hypocrites of His time who made void God's Word, substituting for it human tradition—deceiving and misleading the people—"blind leaders of the blind." Were He to speak forth today, His strongest condemnation would be expressed against the clergy, who seem intent upon keeping the people in darkness respecting the true teachings of the Bible—teaching them evolution and unbelief if they are educated, or delusions of the Dark Ages if they are uneducated. Policy seems to take the place of honesty. The Apostle speaks of such as having their consciences seared—toughened, hardened. As a result, nearly all ministers will say, "We do not believe in the doctrine of eternal torture. We would not think of torturing anybody ourselves; we do not know any human being so depraved that he would wish to torture his fellow-creature everlastingly. We do not believe that any god would do so. We doubt whether any devil would long take pleasure in such sufferings." Asked why they support creeds which so teach, and why they give such inference to the public, some reply, "It is required of us by our denominations. We would much prefer to tell the truth about the Love of God and His arrangement for the blessing of the non-elect during the Times of Restitution. (Acts 3:19-21). But we are bound hand and foot. Our support and our honor amongst men depend on our adherence to this doctrine. If we could see a way out of the difficulty, we would be glad to be liberated." Others answer that they give their consciences no concern, that their denomination takes the responsibility for its creed and for its teachers. Others answer that they are Higher Critics and Evolutionists, who believe that they must not tell the people their heart sentiments; but that they hope that soon public sentiment will outgrow the influence of the Bible, and that then they will be called upon to teach a Christless and, if necessary, a Godless morality. Such bartering of the honor of the Almighty for honor of men and an easy living is as difficult to understand as that of Judas, who sold Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. So seared are the consciences of these educated men that they seem not to realize that blasphemy is the most serious of sins; and that directly or indirectly giving the inference that the God of all grace, the Father of mercies, is roasting 999 out of every 1,000 of humanity is the worst blasphemy that could be concocted. How much allowance God makes for these blasphemers we know not, but we feel that theirs is a terrible position. Would that some word of mine might assist in awakening their consciences; and that even yet nobility and manhood, not to say saintship, might gain the victory! And does not the pew share this responsibility? Hhs it no meaning to intelligent men and women that they have subscribed to a creed that blasphemes God's holy name, totally misrepresents His character, and throws an utterly false light on the Bible? Is it sufficient that these should say, "We no longer believe these creeds"? Do not their names on the rolls, their presence at church services, and their contribution to the upkeep of these creeds and their clerical defenders constitute a responsibility in the sight of God and in the esteem of all honest men and women? How long shall intelligent people halt between creeds of hypocrisy and one of honesty? How long will they bow down before creed idols more horrible than any worshiped by the heathen? While mankind is celebrating today the birth of this great nation which stands for liberty, freedom, emancipation from the thralldom of church and state, let us personally make fresh resolutions that we will stand fast in the liberty wherewith Christ makes free, and be His servants, loyal, faithful unto death, hoping to receive "the Crown of Life, which fadeth not away."

Day Phone, Main 6693 Night Phone, North 7141 KANSAS MAN WOULD PROHIBIT COSMETICS Other Odd Bills In Legislatures of Various States. Washington—Many odd bills have been passed recently or are pending in legislatures of various states of this country. Representative McGinnis of Greeley county, Kan., introduced a "pure complexion bill" prohibiting the use of cosmetics of nearly every kind, besides face powder, rouge, perfume, false hair, hair dyes or "bleaching materials for the purpose of deceling, advertising or creating a false impression." It also prohibits piercing ears for rings and forbids the wearing of earrings. The act applies only to women under forty-five years and provides a punishment of $25 fine for each offense. The queercest of all the odd bills introduced in the present Colorado legislature comes from Senator William Adams, Democratic leader. This provides that chickens shall go to roost between the hours of 6 and 7 o'clock p. m. and provides penalties for violation of the curfew. Another senate measure declares jackrabbits eligible to election as state senators and cotontails as representatives. A third measure provides that bulls in the road must wear high power headlights. "Freak" bills in Massachusetts include one to have all weeds that cause hay fever and summer asthma removed from all roadsides; a bill that all bachelors over thirty-five years pay an annual tax of $5 and one that doctors and dentists who perform operations of any kind upon the human body shall not wear any hair on their faces Senator Robertson of Holt county, Neb., who ten years ago tried unsuccessfully to have the national guard abolished, has a bill which "sentences" every member of the national guard to ninety days' service for the state in road and bridge work. Churchgoers in Texas must leave their firearms outside when going to worship if a bill which Representative Miller has introduced in the legislature becomes a law. VALUES TONGUE AT $19,000.

Paris.—Among presents sent on the Christmas ship Jason by the children of America to France, distributed recently in the presence of Mme. Policare, was a doll, which fell to the lot of Irene Chapelle, one of the refugees living temporarily at the Refuge of the City of Paris. This little girl found attached to the doll a note reading: I send you this doll, and I feel lots of pleasure in giving it to you. I am twelve years old, and I live in Chicago. I offer you my affection and my sympathy, and I hope that very soon better days will come back and that peace will reign over you and the little girls of your country. I hope also that my doll will find a good mamma in you and that she will console you. Your affectionate sister KATHERINE ROBERTS. The little French girl who received this letter was so much touched by it that she has written the following reply: Dear Little American Sister: I am the little French girl to whom was given your pretty dolly. I am very happy that I was chosen to receive this precious token of friendship from a little American. I also am twelve years old. I am from the city of Ithelms, a refugee, with all my family in Paris, which is a very beautiful and very great city, where the people are very good also. We were very unhappy to leave our homes, but we have been much comforted by the kind reception in our dear capital, but when my papa shall come back and we return home I shall take your dolly with me, and I shall keep also the little piece of money in souvenir of you and your country. I send you some violets of France, and I embrace you very affectionately. Your little French sister, who will always keep a kind remembrance of you, IRENE CHAPELLE. Au Refuge de la Ville de Paris. REWARD FOR BIG FAMILIES. French Scientist Academy Sees Cause For Alarm In Decrease of Births. Paris.-The problem of repopulation of France is receiving the attention of the Academy of Moral and Political Sciences. Figures were read at a meeting of the academy showing that the number of births annually in the country in the last twenty years fell from 860,000 to 750,000. It is estimated if a proportionate decrease should continue for another twenty years the future military classes would be 30,000 less than the classee of 1914, 1915 and 1916. The question was considered so vital it was suggested that important advantages should be accorded fathers of families having numerous children and that the idea be generalized that the normal family comprises three children. It was ted that the heads of such fauna allowed to share in a purpose, compense. THE BEST MAN IN THE WORLD PROF. R. J. DANIELS, DANIELS SCHOOL OF MUSIC. Prof. R. J. Daniels, Principal.

Boston.—Incompatibility in marriage is soon to be a thing of the past, according to Dr. Max Baff, the Worcester scientist and former fellow in psychology at Clark university, who announces that he has discovered how to measure temperament. With nothing more than a tape measure, he says, it is possible to find one's affinity and be positively sure that one is marrying the right man or woman. Dr. Raff has had under observation Massachusetts' best known bachelor, Governor David I. Walsh. He recently announced the kind of a wife the governor should find in order to be assured of perfect happiness. Here are the specifications, the result of scientific observance: She must be from five feet three inches to five feet six inches tall. She must weigh from 141 to 146 pounds. She must be tactful. She must be cheerful at all times, especially before breakfast. It is essential that she have a mezzo- soprano voice. LOWELL FIXES MAN'S PRIME Harvard's President Tells Graduates Twenty-three is Mental Maximum. Twenty-three is Mental Maximum. Cambridge, Mass.—President Lowell of Harvard university in a speech said that after the age of twenty-three a man's keener senses begin to lessen, although something may be added through the medium of experience after that age. "I believe," said Dr. Lowell, "that the mental and physical maxima are reached at nearly the same period. A man reaches his full physical growth when he is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and by the time he is twenty-three he is beginning to lose his keener perceptions, so that this age may be called the physical maximum. The mental maximum is reached a great deal earlier than most people suppose." Speaking to college boys, he continued: "You have reached your physical maximum and are close upon your mental maximum. You will probably gain something more from experience, but your actual capacity will increase very little." A Record at School Nutley, N.
