IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE WASHINGTON Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE THE RACE CONGRESS ADVOCATES NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS ON CITIZENSHIP RIGHTS. Preliminary Call. Hillburn, N. Y., July 15, 1916. Fellow Comrades and Fellow Citizens of color: By the authority vested in me as president of the National Equal Rights League I hereby issue this preliminary call for the ninth annual convention of said league. The matter of the exact date and place for the convention is not yet quite settled, but it is very timely and proper that there be no further delay in inviting public attention to the fact that such a convention is to be held, and within the next sixty days. National Race Congress. National It has been wisely suggested in view of existing unfavorable social, civic and political conditions confronting us as a people, that the National Equal Rights League invite and urge all of our people, in all sections of the country, to unite in a great "National congress of Colored Americans," and for the special purpose of voicing the feelings and opinions of the race on those unfavorable conditions' now surrounding us in this country; and also to decide upon the wisest and best methods for combating color segregation and all other forms of color discrimination. Extraordinary Wrongs Suffered. After fifty years of so-called freedom in this country, what is the prevailing condition of our Colored-American population? Briefly stated it is this: Our civil rights have been shamefully curtailed politically; we are denied equality before the law; we are not allowed equal industrial opportunities; our property and our very lives are not at all secure; and "the black horrors of lynching" innocent Colored Americans continue unabated. While our Federal Government's indifference towards all these injustices is but little less than the nullification of our great war amendments. Throughout the southland, and to more or less extent in the north, the increasing millions of our fellow Colored Americans are being more and more reduced to the pittable condition of political serfs and social outcasts. Can We Be Unmoved? Can WE be If such conditions do not stir our souls and our blood, what under heaven can do it? Do not the industrial opportunities denied us, the freedom of speech and of the press not allowed, the civic and political rights taken from us, and the insecurity of property and life that surrounds us, give sufficient ground and reason for the calling of such a National Congress of Colored Americans is herein suggested? "In this fierceer of controversy and blood-shed," can we be unmoved? While the whole world is wide awake socially and politically, shall we sleep? While all other classes and races are on the verge of social and political revolutions, shall we be in different? Since all other groups of oppressed people are in, the stir and rush of agitation, is it not high time that we should at least begin to get the move. on the north. The south is still in the saddle at our national capital, rushing headlong with a most reckless disregard for the feelings and rights of ten millions of loyal but oppressed Colored Americans. Fling Our Standard. Therefore, let us get together in a great national congress, and fling to the whole wide world the full story of our grievances and of our earnest demands for justice and fair play. Get Ready. Let all our religious, educational, social and political leaders among us heed this call. Let all of our great religious organizations and lodges and benoventel societies begin now to plan to be represented in this proposed congress. By so doing we cannot fall to produce a powerful effect on the public mind that will greatly help us in our struggle for justice and freedom. for jobs. This congress will be independent and wider than any present organization. Its deliberations will not be under the Equal Rights League, which will meet in conjunction. Faithfully yours. BYRON GUNNER, President of the National Equal Rights League. MRS. IDA JOYCE JACKSON. Mrs. Ida Joyce Jackson, of Columbus, Ohio, treasurer of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs, addressed a public meeting under the auspices of the District Federation of Colored Women's Clubs at Ebenezer M. E. Church, Fourth and D Streets southeast, Sunday, July 23, 1915, at 4 o'clock p. m. She gave the history of the organization and told of the great work accomplished. Mrs. Jackson has held the office of assistant treasurer since 1904. She is thoroughly prepared, and in five minutes can answer any question as to the finance of the association. Her books are models for accuracy, arrangement and neatness. She is a race woman through and through and her greatest pleasure is of service. that of sort. She is the wife of John, H. Jackson, author of the history of Education from the Greeks to the Present Time. He is a graduate of Berea College in Kentucky. The school has been taken from the colored people made a college for white people; another great loss to the race. Although, the day was hot, men women and children were out in mass to hear her. She is an enthusiastic talker and held her audience spell- bound. It was agreed that it was one of the tactical ever held. best meeting Miss Ehlert Boyd of Birmingham gave most inspiring account of the work done there by the young women of that city. Mrs. Eva Hood Smith, of the Home for Destitute Colored Women and Children, made an excellent talk and urged preparedness' for woman's work Music: solos, Miss Alberta Williams of the Frances Emma Watson Club the pastor, Rev. Wm. H. Dean, is an enthusiast and had surcharged his congregation. His heart is in the work for the race in general and women in articular. Mrs. Dean, Mrs. Nannie L. Ware, Mrs. Georgia Miller, members of Ebenezer, are three of the best club workers in the city. Mrs. Georgia Miller is the organizer of the District work. Miss Marie A. D. Mâdre, president of the District Federation, presided. BOY SCOUTS. It is for us to believe—as I hope all do—that physical preparedness is the greatest need of America, and we should actively interest ourselves in seeing to it that whatever legislation of this character is enacted will be along lines calculated to secure an all around citizenship training and, therefore the best results for our country. We should all cooperate with those to whom authority is given and aid in the development of the programs which will give our boys proper physical development as well as the proper point of view as to their patriotic duty. Because we have been unable to secure tents and other camping necessities we will have to confine our summer outings to over-night hikes. Scoutmasters N. F. Henry and John Randall carried a number of Boy Scouts on Friday evening and camped at the Joseph F. Amos estate at Four Oaks, Md., until Sunday. They had a fine time and wish to thank Mrs. R. L. Pendleton and Mr. Claude Amos for granting us the use of their beautiful estate. Scout George Bidgell was offered a trip for doing a good turn, but politely refused to take it. Every step in the Scout program aims at character development and citizenship training. Assistant Scoutmaster Chas. Butler is doing all he can to have Satterlee House Boy Scouts drill as well as any body in Washington. He is very efficient and enjoys his work. That Boy Scouts might be able to to pay as they go and to save some pennies, the management of this paper is offering a generous compensation to any who sell this paper. Boys wishing to take advantage of this opportunity should see Scoutmaster A. L. Hill, 387 R street northwest. Papers can be had every Saturday evening. Boy Scouts will assist the Young Ladies' Circle with lawn fete to be held on the lawn of Saint Monica's Chapel on Monday evening, July 31, 1916. Scoutmaster Lee C. Brown of the Y. M. C. A. troop is kept very busy owing to the fact that his assistant, Mr. Clarence Bryson, is out of the city. The Block party held in Walter Place southeast, the week of the 16th, for the benefit of Israel Church was a brilliant success. The assistance rendered by Boy Scouts under Scoutmaster John Randall and Assistant Scoutmaster Wm. McCoy will long be remembered. The Silver Fox Troop of southeast, under the charge of Scoutmaster Jno. Randall, and Assistants Wm. McCoy and H. Randall is camping at Centerville, Md. Twenty boys and Scoutmaster Jno. Randall and his assistants left Washington Friday evening at 6 p. m., carrying one large tent, cots, camp chairs cooking utensils, cameras, picks, showels, and all kinds of games and pastimes. Each boy is to carry his own toilet outfit, consisting of soap, towel, hair brush and comb and tooth brush. Mr. Randall will carry his wireless outfit along to have the right time. One young lady, a niece of Mr. McCoy, is to accompany the Scouts as matron. The young lady who is to accompany us is in the person of Miss Mary Hunley of 1445 Que street northwest. She has shown lots of interest in the boys. This troop shall have plenty of news on their return trip Tuesday, to relate to you. Watch us grow. An over night hike to Ft.

Negro Firm Secures Auto Service Station Contract. The C. L. Skinner firm announce their success in securing the contract to render service to owners of Regal automobiles. The present agent recently opened the market for a repair firm to handle the service end of the agency proposition for his car. Out of the various bids sent in, by repair firms, this firm was selected to handle the proposition. It will be recalled that this firm not so long ago secured the contract to work on the 7th precinct patrol wagons, over a number of other white firms. 1. a. --- The car this firm cares for consists of three models: a small four-cylinder car, selling for $650; a larger car, selling $1,075, and an eight-cylinder car, selling for $1,285. Each and every one a leader of its class and an exceptional bargain at its price. Mr. Skinner is very proud of the line and expects to see many colored motorists enjoy the pleasure secured in owning a Regal car. Information as to its achievements and construction may be secured from C. L. Skinner, rear 1420 K street northwest. AUTO SCHOOL. A Practical School to Learn Your Car and How to Care for Sarsa and How to Care to Same. Mr. C. L. Skinner, the friend of the colored motorists, has aside from his large modern shop, opened a practical school where ladies and gentlemen may secure the necessary mechanical knowledge of a car to make the summer touring a pleasure instead of a worry. Advice is also given of the necessary things needed to carry on tours so that small repairs may be made without paying some village repair man the handsome sum of twenty-five or thirty dollars. The school is to be situated above the shop of Mr. Skinner and is to consist of a class room and a study room. In the class room will be a car, which will be taken apart so that each work part may be shown to the scholar, and that reasons for the work of each part may be explained by experience instructors. There will not be a school of such complete resource for teaching anywhere within the city. A visit to the class room will convince any one that the only way to prolong the life of his car is to take a course in this college and learn the car. The classes will be limited to twenty (20.) The first class is now being formed. A course in this school will coat twenty dollars. TUESDAY EVENING CLUB The Industrial Home School Committee of the Tuesday Evening. Club of Social Workers is making a strenuous effort to secure a home for delinquent girls this fall. Its plea is being heard and compiled with by the people generally. The picnic on July 15th at Kastle Park and the lawn fete on July 19th in Georgetown were beautifully attended. Watch the papers for the next move. The fifteen hustling captains have planned lawn fetes, dances, moving picture shows, block parties, etc., etc. for the entire season. We only ask that you help us raise the money by patronizing us and we will see that you get your money's worth and more. At our last meet July 11th, there were $75.15 collected. Watch next week's issue for the money collected by the busy captains who are nearing the hundred dollar mark. Any captain would gladly have your assistance. We wish to publicly think the Boy Scouts for their valuable services so cheerfully rendered at the picnic on July 15th. In a few minutes after their arrival they put us in touch with many of the families of Deanwood. REV. W. H. JERNAGIN. Touring the Country in the Interest of the Race Conference—Hundreds of Responses from All Over the World Rev. W. H. Jermagin, pastor of Mt. Carmel Baptist Church and one of the best known race advocates in the United States, has received upwards of five hundred letters from representatives throughout the country indors- ing his race conference which will take place on or about September 1st. He left the city Wednesday evening. His first stop will be Columbus; Ohio; Chicago, Ill.; Oklahoma, and many other western cities; advocating this conference. conference. It is quite evident that Rev. Jernagain will meet with success wherever he goes. The call will be issued in a few days. It is quite likely that a committee' from this conference will be appointed to call on Candidate Hughes and President Wilson. WARE. Have you failed to visit the Ware Department Store, the only one in the city. Go and see his new line of summer goods. PROGRESSIVE MAN A PROGRESSIVE BAPIST MINISTER. Rev. E. E. Ricks, Roanoke, Va. Rev. E. E. Ricks, formerly pastor of the First Baptist Church, West Washington, is maintaining his reputation as one of the foremost and most progressive men of the Baptist faith, in bringing about praiseworthy results. About nine months since he was called to and accepted the pastorate of the First Baptist Church, Roanoke, Va., and during this short period, he has by his earnest, intelligent directed and indefatigable efforts, the membership of the church has been greatly increased, and many most commendable improvements in the mode of worship have been made, as well as other changes which greatly tend to promote the spiritual and physical well being of the constantly increasing membership. Among the more important improvements, which, as the results of the untiring efforts of Rev. Ricks, have been made in the church are: the installation of an up-to-date heating plant, in place of the old hot air heat, and thus for thirteen or more years last past have rendered the use of the main auditorium during the winter months practically impossible. Electric lights have been put in all parts of the church which had heretofore been partly lighted by gas. The first floor has been so remodeled as to make two more rooms for Sunday School work and provide for better lavatory facilities. The inauguration of the individual communion service. On taking up the collection, the envelop system has been most beneficially substituted for the old and unseemly "promenades" up and down the aisles. The offering is now gathered by efficient ushers, thus making giving a part of the worship; and usually fifty or even a hundred or more dollars are collected in a few minutes while the offertory is being played on the Great Electric Pipe Organ, recently installed at a cost of $3,000.00, every penny of which has been paid. To this organ fund that great hearted, world-renowned philanthropist, Mr. Andrew Carnegie, at the special instance of Rev. Ricks, contributed the sum of $1,000.00. The services begin on time, promptly, an example which many colored pastors would do well to follow, even in the city of Washington. In his splendid onward and upward work—most praiseworthy achievements—Rev. Mr. Ricks has been greatly aided by the officers, members and friends of the church, and for their constant hearty co-operation and support, he feels extremely grateful. Prof. W. A. Gilliam, chairman of the Deacon Board; James Wright, chairman of the Trustees Board; Joseph Trent, Church Clerk and superintendent of the Bible School; T. E. Faulkner, treasurer; W. C. Banks, Armstead Washington, E. I. Becker, B. M. Milner, Joseph Poindexter, and many others the mention of whose names space will not permit, deserve great praise for the good work they have rendered in connection with the church improvement. As it appears to be the case in all churches, the "sisters" are more potent than the brothers in many respects. This is true in Roanoke, as it is in Washington, D. C. During a recent rally in the Roanoke church, more than $1,200.00 was raised, and, as usual, the sisters led in the "golden harvest." Mrs. Lucy Stratton turned in over $200.00; Mrs. Annie Burrell was not far short of the same amount. These ladies, together with Mrs. Josephine Davis, Mrs. Mary Thompson, Mrs. Lucy Wilson, Mrs. Emma Woodson, Mrs. Mary Lavender, Mrs. Agnes Dean and Mrs. Elizabeth H. Gilliam, are among the best church workers in the "Magic" City—Roanoke. SIMPSON MEMORIAL CHURCH. The Sunday School of Simpson Memorial M. E. Church is preparing to give one of the best picnics and outings ever witnessed before on the beautiful lawn of St. Mark's M. E. Church. Tennallytown, D. C., all day day Thursday, August 3, 1916. Admission free to all, and the school will be treated free. All Sunday Schools, churches, preachers, parents, guardians and children are invited to go with us, and please meet at Simpson Church at 10:30 a. m. For further information please consult Clarence M. DeVelle, superintendent of Sunday School, 1014 W street northwest, or the pastor, Rev. W. S. Jackson, 2253 Sherman avenue northwest. MT. HQREB BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev. J. T. Clark, D.D., pastor of Mt. Horeb Baptist Church, is still indisposed. Sunday was "a great day in Zion" at Mt. Horeb. There were many visiting pastors, some of whom were Rev. Jarvis, pastor of New Bethel Baptist; Rev. J. I. Loving, pastor of Enon Baptist; Rev. Downs, pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist, northeast, and others. Rev. C. H. Fox took for his text Luke 7:7, "But say in a word, and my servant shall be healed." Subject, "I Must See Jesus." This was Communion day and there was a large attendance: PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the Potomac.) These be trying days for my friends. Four years ago, and four years back of that, they just naturally burnt up the cinder path with political dope agin the democrats. Then Woody Wilson busted through the ropes, made a marathon run for the White House, and our friends began stringing out praises for Woody, just naturally, changed over night. Then there came a tip, and this is the Gospel Truth, that they had better case up on his political deform, or the Swivel Swervice Com, might get them and they did sort of quit writin' political stuff under their own signature. Course this political stuff was all imagination anyhow, but they broke through with it for a while, protected by the Washington crowd, when Rosevelt and Taft were in the saddle. Now it looks like Woody, Wilson might lose this marathon race, and our friends are just naturally up a tree; don't know where to hedge in at. Here of late they have been tryin' to break through the social crust. It always did puzzle me to know how these fellows with a graveyard historical reminiscences secreted where around their shalted memory, could forget the past, enough to become social characters. But in every city you and amble there is always one guy with a past that aint just accordin' to Hoyle, what, imagines he's fitin' for the front ranks of the elite, and occasionally they do break through on a rain check. Now I am just hikin' to them, better lay off of writin' political dope this here campaign, cause if they writes Hughes stuff right now, immediately, or sooner, Woody will get their scalp, and that will be something awful. If they writes heavy, imaginary Wilson dope, and Hughes makes the White House in November, there is a little bunch of scrapbook artists around this here berg, who have been keeping close tag on their euphilim, what will furnish the Hughes administration with the concrete evidence, and then it will be presto, chage; they will be out in the cold remorseless world. Take it anyway you want to, my college chum from Indiana is in a precarious position. He'll be damned if he does, and he'll be damned if he don't, and he will catch h—1 if you will or won't. I like the compressed air·guy somewhat, for the reason that, barring his chestness, his climbing propensities, and his belief that he is a real swell writer, he aint a real bad sort of a fellow after all. He's been a mighty lucky chap at that. Many a guy would have violated the swivel swervice rules as he has done, writin' political stuff for pay, many of them·would have been gone long ago. But they·were lucky to have protection in the late Dr. Washington, Emmett Scott, and Ralph Tyler. But the Wizzard of Tuskegee is no more; Emmett is stickin' to his knitlin' down at Tuskegee, far from the maddening, crowd, hardly knowing which is tother, and Ralph Tyler is out there in Ohio somewhere, just mindin' his own business, and letttin' the devil take the hindemost. When the administration changes, as change it will, my friends will not have that powerful trivumate to go to the front for them, and when the wolves, hyenas, polecats, and mountain lions all start after them at once, when Hughes comes in, it will be some more side snow to see how that bellows sort of a gentleman will perform to keep from shooting the chutes. Take my word for it, these be cryin' days, nuggets, copains to a friend of a gentleman many of them alnt a friend of The Bee, and are always handing Big Bill Chase a bunch of rat poison whenever they can get some one to listen to their talk, yet I'm hopin' that these, poor critters will hang with their jobs. Anyhow Little Lord · Fauntleroy aint necessary, and the sooner they get a fair sized can to tie to his appendix, and send him adrift from the public school system the better. Washington could exist if both he and these special correspondents were on the Mexican border. I met my friend, Jim Cobb, the other day. Jim looks prosperous, and aint worryin' where the next meal will come from, but nevertheless, he's wonderin' if he can break into this campaign so as to be in position to land his old job back again, and nevertheless he is just as prime to marty an heiress as he was several years ago. It does beat, the Hebrew children how this here limb of the law has always figured on a lily-white bit of fifth rib, and how he has figured on some fifth rib what had a bunch of dough secreted in some bank, or hid away in some pile of bricks. Jim never was a consistent hunter for no fifth rib what just had prospects. Jim always wanted what was 'tangible— sort of figured that a bird in the hand was worth a field of blue jays in the bushes. As a prospector for fifth ribs what's got the illy-white complexion, and a bit of filthy luce, Jim has got all the boys-backed off the boards. And I aint censurein' him either, cause, take it from me. a fifth rib hung on to you what has got enough to keep the life of you from being so high up to keep love from fallin' out of the fifth story window. Go it, Jim, old boy, don't let none of the Seventh-day Adventist critics chase you off of a good scent. If you can, locate a fifth rib here or elsewhere, what has got a few simoleons hid away in her crinolin, and has got a sort of peach-blow complexion, just hang on to her until the minister says, "I pronounce you man and wife." And this reminds me that a few jays around this town what is already married are wishin' that a few years back they had gone fortune-hunting' instead of love-hunting'. Old love is a nice thing to have around the house on frequent occasions to parade before company, but, me, oh my, a bunch of currency is so handy to go to market with, buy clothes with, and do other stunts with. Now I was talkin' to a high falunin' member of exclusive society the other day, and he was pourin' a bunch of tales of woe in my ear because his little fifth rib was makin' goo-goo eyes at a certain guy around town. Now I've seen his little fifth rib on divers occasions out autoing with this gentleman friend, and all unbeknownst to her husband. And I have seen them headin' for Annapolis, and sundry towns what are just a nice auto ride from Washington. Now the trouble is, this sorrowin' friend of mine married for love, or at least he thought he was, and his salary is just naturally too slender to buy his little fifth rib all the ribbons, silk hose, and such like she want. The result is she got to readin' some stuff about platicon love, and the next move was she hook up, on the sly, with this certain gentleman. But I want to hand them this advice, this clandestine couple, remember, when you make these secret auto trips, there may be a Relay, Md., somewhere, and you might get in a smash-up. Better go slow, cause murder will out. And anyway, stolen sweets, while awfully sweet while you are nif'blin' at them, some times cause acute indigestion. I'm easin' it over to this little fifth rib that her hubby while docell now, he may change, that is, his insanity may take on a violent shape, and then it may be pistols for two. But what I was a drivin' at is that marryin' for love has its drawbacks and setbacks, just like mixin' drinks when the mercury in the thermometer is hittin' the top of the tube. Our friend may break into this presidential campaign, and he may not. The chances are that Ham won't be much of a commodity in this campaign. Woody aint got no use for him a-tall, a-tall, and my bewhiskered friend what use to sit on the Supreme bench was never known to waltz with any of we Hamites. My advice to him, in order to play-safe, is to get down to business and build up one heaelav of a law practice. That beats any political job, take it from me. THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.

New York, July 18—Is a lobster an animal? Nicholas Pappas, who keeps a sea food restaurant at Broadway and West street, Paterson, N. J., placed in his window one of the largest lobsters Paterson has ever seen. As it was surrounded by crabs, Pappas staked its claws apart with wooden pegs. Agents of the S. P. C. C. A. said it was a case of priority to animals and ordered the crustacean released. But Pappas denied that a lobster is an animal. "If I remove these pegs, there will not be a live crab in the window," he said. President John Grossgehauer, of the S. P. C. A., was asked yesterday whether the lobster is an animal. "No, it's a submarine," he responded, jocularly. The Standard Dictionary says a lobster is a large marine macrurous crustacean, used as food; that, in slang it is variously a British soldier, a stupid or clumsy-person, a bore and several other little things, and that a lobster unboiled is but a way of mentioning a policeman. OUR ABUSED FEET Many Ills Come From Wearing the Wrong Kind of Shoes. THEN, TOO, WE SHOULD TOE IN That Is the Natural Way to Walk or Run, as It Puts the Strain Where It Belongs, While Toeing Out Impairs the Bones and Breeds Trouble. Corns, ingrowing nails, crooked toes, bunions, spreading feet, arch trouble, aching feet are all caused by toeing out while walking. It is not natural for those who start with normal feet to toe out. It is natural to toe in, not far in, but just inside of a line straight ahead. All children toe in, nearly all youths toe in. Some people toe in all their lives, but they are few. All barefooted people toe in. All moccasined Indians toe in. No one can run without toeing in. No speed can be made without doing so. By toeing in the spring of the foot comes from all the small bones of the front part of the foot. When one toes out he is trying to walk on the inner side of the foot. Why does toeing out cause trouble? Because the strain upon the foot in walking is greater than it should be. It inclines the first two bones of the big toe toward the smaller toes by degrees, until the spring finally comes from the inner side of the big toe and its second joint. This undue strain on the second joint is constantly pulling it inward and away from the smaller bones. As the strain continues the tissues and ligaments that bind the bones in the forefoot together stretch and give way, and finally it becomes separated somewhat and bulges out into what is called a bunion. A bunion is a partial dislocation. At this stage of impairment the bones connecting with the smaller toes across the ball of the foot settle down, and what is called the transverse arch is impaired. There are two arches in the foot—a longitudinal arch, with which every one is familiar, and the transverse arch across the ball of the foot from side to side. It is the transverse arch that is first affected, and it is at this stage of foot trouble that most people begin to complain and look for help. Why did those who toe out do so in the first place when it is natural to toe in? The real reason was because they wore shoes. Barefooted people do not toe out, so the shoe is the cause. Shoes are habitually too short and too narrow across the end of the toes, and the long, pointed toe of the shoe helps to prevent toeing naturally. The big toe is strong and monopolizes the limited space; the small toes, being weaker, are crushed in narrow quarters until their natural symmetry is gone. They are crowded backward by a shoe too short until the ends are curled under and their nails point toward the ground instead of straight ahead. The first two joints of the third and fourth toes are forced upward, and the third joint is pushed down farther and farther as the tissues supporting it become more and more stretched by the pressure from above and the forced spreading of the bones of the foot. The third bone of the third toe at this stage stands almost straight up and down in the shoe. The result is a corn on top and pain in the foot from the pressure and sometimes a corn or thickening on the bottom of the foot just under the third joint of the third toe. At this stage there are ingrowing nails, due to the sidewise pressure of the shoe, that also are painful, so the sufferer begins to toe out to prevent the pressure pain that would occur from the sore and otherwise impaired small toes if he toed in as he should. The most sensible covering ever made for the feet is the moccasin of the American Indian, worn without a stocking. Sandals also are good. The sneakers of children and tennis shoes with pliable rubber soles are next best. Shoes should be so constructed that it will be difficult, if not impossible, to toe out. A line drawn through the length of the big toe of a normal foot backward will strike the heel near the inner edge. Shoes should not compress the toes to alter this line in children. However the toes may have been pressed out of shape, the shoes of adults when made of leather with an myeliding sole should extend straight forward well past the end of the big toe and outward past the little toe to the outer ball of the foot. In a shoe so shaped the wearer will find it difficult to toe out; the big toe will have its share of room. The sole should be flat, both from side to side and from end to end, so the arch has room to settle down as required with each step to furnish the necessary spring. The heel may be made snug and provision made for a snug fit across the instep to prevent the heel from slipping. There should be no lift on the heel except just enough to raise it level with the sole, and this lift should be of rubber. The right kind of a shoe will be a queer looking thing as we now see things, for in place of the offending pointed toe it will look more like the blade of a paddle. It will not be stiff and unyielding. It will be from three to five inches across the ball of the foot. Fashion is whimsical, and such a shoe when it becomes regular may be considered beautiful—Dr. Arthur R. Reynolds in American Magazine. The only thing many a man has done in the past is to dream of the future—New York Times. THE CAFE The only electrical hair, face and skin culturist in the city. Every electrical appliance that is used in connection with the face, hair and skin may be seen at this school. The Word Vaudeville. The word "vaudeville" sprang from Vaux de Vire, the name of a hamlet in the picturesque town of Vire, in Switzerland. In the fifteenth century this town was the home of Oliver Basselin, the author of witty drinking songs. One of the best known of these songs was a merry dissertation on the author's red nose.

NEW YORK INTER-CLUB TENNIS Association's Annual Tournament, Aug. 16th to 26th, Inclusive guest 19th to 20th inclusive. Active preparations have been begun for the New York York Club Ten- Association's annual tournament. The winner is by far the largest and classiest of those held by our people in any section of the country. The winner is the undisputed race champion. Last season the committee offered prizes such as had never before been presented to colored players. For that reason, and with very little advertising, the entry list was made up of nearly one hundred players. This is much larger than most of the tournaments held in any part of the country by any race. There were players here for the tournament from Chicago, Philadelphia, Washington, Tuskegee, Ala., Raleigh, N. C., New Haven, Conn., and from all of the cities and towns near New York City. The committee in charge promises a record entry for the present tournament, for all of the players who took part last year are sure to come again this August and many more from the above cities and other places. New York will also be able to have a much larger number of greatly improved players entered. The trophies to be given to this year's winners will surpass, if possible, those of any former tournament and will be the finest ever competed for by players of the race. Talley Holmes of Washington won the singles events and he and his partner, John Cromwell, copped the doubles prizes last year. These two players, along with other Washington players, have competed with success in most of the tournaments held in all parts of the country during the past few years. They were all very loud in their praise for the management of the last tournament and of the trophies presented to them as winners. All of them are getting into the finest shape, for the coming event and expect to repeat their victories and take the fine prize back to Washington. New Yorkers, however, hope to press them hard for the honors and the committee reports that it is in touch with players from other cities who may make it a hard week for the Washingtonians. A reception will be held on one night during the week, at Manhattan Casino, in honor of the visiting players. Last year this affair was one of the most enjoyable of the whole summer and no doubt this one will be more brilliant. The tournament will be played on the courts of the Ideal Tennis Club, 138th street, east of Lenox avenue. The committee in active charge of the tournament is composed of Messrs. Watson of the Colonials, Rainford of the Arrows, Norman of Flushing, B. Warrick Chessman and Warren Logan of the Gotham Tennis Club. OUR AGENTS Miss Inez Miller, 1224 Walter St., S. E.

There is not a stronger organization in the United States than the Baptist ministry and other ministerial organization in this country, with a very few exceptions. The Baptist Ministers' Union, with that old Roman, at its head, Rev Dr. W. M. Norman, it doing great good in this city. This Union is enterprising, always doing some good for fallen humanity. The Stoddard Home, with that old sober side, Rev. W. J. Howard, Rev. W. J. Jarvis and that agitator for right and justice, Rev Waldron, are great factors in this community. If every denomination in this city would do as much as the Baptists, conditions in this city would be better. There is our old friend, Rev Jernagin, a thorough race loving individual, who is today in the west in the interest of his people. The Bee doesn't agree with those who continuously attack the ministry. The ministry in this city will compare favorably with denominations of the more fortunate and it is the mission of The Bee to uphold the colored ministry as far as it is consistent and for the welfare of the masses to do so. There are some shams in all denominations and in the Baptist ministry, but the shams are soon eliminated, whenever they attempt to injure the unfortunate. For the information of those who have grievances against the ministry, they should carry their grievances to the church, and not to the public press, except when it tends for the public good and welfare. The average colored minister in this city is above meanness and corruption and whenever The Bee feels that an exposure of wrong doing in the colored pulpit is necessary it will not hesitate to call the attention of any ministerial union to it, but let the mission of us all be justice, fidelity and solidarity. THE NEGRO IN POLITICS. It is now a question of conjecture among the colored voters as to what their position will be in the coming campaign. Some argue that the democratic administration has broken faith with the colored democracy, therefore it is not entitled to any consideration whatever. In the first place, the democratic party owes the colored citizen nothing but protection in his civil and political rights. That is due to any citizen, regardless of his color. So far as offices are concerned it owes the colored democrat nothing, with but one exception. The Bee has time and again stated that there was but one man to whom the democratic party was indebted. That is a representative, real colored democrat, who was the first colored democrat to organize a Wilson and Marshal Democratic Club, and his name is Ralph E. Langston of New York. It cannot be said that Mr. Langston is not competent, because he has held some very responsible positions under the democratic administrations in New York. The other individuals who supported the democratic party were men receipts and vouchers are held by the treasurer, of the democratic National committee. These men were paid for services rendered and they have no claim whatever on the present democratic administration. One individual in the city who was at the head of a colored democratic organization received as high as three thousand dollars and expended about five hundred. The other is in bank, no doubt, or gone for household expenses. Then there was another blunder made by democratic negroes. The moment before and after the election of the democratic administration those selfsame individuals parcelled out every office that was held by colored republicans. There were four or five colored democrats for each office. The only recognition the colored democrat received was the Liberian mission and the reason he received that plum was because no white man would have it, but as soon as the country is put in a sanitary condition, and should Mr. Wilson be re-elected, some, white man will undoubtedly be named for that place, if all negroes decide to support the republican nominee. The negro in politics is "between the devil and the deep blue sea." SHAMS If there ever was a city infested with shams it is the city of Washington. It is the shams that take hold of enterprises that have been inaugurated by the masses. Some few weeks ago an individual suggested the advisability of having the colored soldiers who were killed in Mexico brought to this city and buried in the National Cemetery, Arlington, Va. Just as this one individual had accomplished this purpose a school of city shams assumed leadership and appointed themselves, chairman, orator and everything else, while the promoter of the scheme was relegated to the rear. The shams got their names into the newspapers, which was about all they wanted. Shams have about bankrupted the city and if they are given the least consideration, they will put the real people in the background. All shams from other states and cities generally migrate to this city and join the society of shams. There are several organizations of them, but no particular central power. There are shams in all organizations and churches. Shams are in control. Beware of shams. THE NEW SONG If there ever was an entertaining speaker, pubit orator and lecturer, it is Rev. M. W. D. Norman, pastor of the Metropolitan Baptist Church. Sunday, July 30th, at 11 o'clock a.m., this well-known and distinguished pastor will preach a special sermon entitled "The New Song." Everybody should hear this sermon. Rev. Norman needs no introduction to the people in this city because his very name is a forerunner of what the man is and what he will say. You should go early if you want a seat. COLORED ORCHESTRA AT NEW : EBRITT CAFE, SUCCESSFUL Prof. Lewis Thomas' Orchestra is doing well at the New Ebbtit; another instrument has been added, a 'saxiphon which has made a big improvement in the melody. Several selections were played by request of Mr. and Mrs. Sands who dined in the cafe last week. Mr. Sands is one of the most influential members of the New Ebbtit Hotel Co., and an officer of the Commercial National Bank. He was very much pleased with the music and did not fail to mention the same. Manager Runcum and the patrons of the hotel restaurant are being more, impressed by Mr. Thomas' Orchestra daily. Dr. Perry was employed last season by Mr. Thomas to play for the dance in the Crystal dining room during his absence. REV CALLIS. Rev. H. J. Callis, D.D., pastor Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church, D street southwest, preached two very interesting and instructive sermons, 11 a. m., subject, "Consecration"; 8 p. m., subject, "A Friend in Need." At 3 p. m., he preached at Galbraith A. M. E. Zion Church, quarterly meeting, subject, "Obedience." Rev. Callis knows the power of the press and immediately on arrival subscribed for The Bee. BOSSLYN, VA., DOTS. Mrs. Jane Jackson made a week-end visit to her daughter and son-in-law's home at the Ashley Apartment, Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Anderson. It was the first time she had availed herself of the opportunity of spending a night with her children. This was a happy occasion for them all. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Sherrill will move to the city and will make their home after August 2nd at 1022 Second street northeast. Among the faithful: attendants on the C. E. and other meetings of First Baptist Church may be mentioned Sister Marla Russell. The Sunday services were nicely attended from 11 o'clock a. m., through the evening services. The pastor, Rev. Wm. A. Carter, was accompanied at the evening services by the Rev. Griffin who delivered the splendid rally sermon in the 4th Sunday in June Rally. On Friday evening last all members from here, including Pastor Carter, Mr. N. L. Smith, vice president of A. B. S. U., and others attended a meeting of the executive committee of the. A. B. S. S. U. at Clark station. Va. convened in Mt. Olive Baptist Church there. The Sunday School entertainment given Monday night of last week at the home of the superintendent, Mr. Jesse Flemming, for the September rally was a complete success. Over the weekend she was realized. Mrs. Elizabeth Dalehle followed on Wednesday evening from 4 to 5 o'clock children of her class in her home, with a five cent admission entertainment. Things are moving forward. On Sunday afternoon First Baptist Sunday School will follow Superintendent Flemming to the annual Sunday School rally at Mt. Salvation Baptist Church, Hall's Hill, Va. THE DISTRICT FEDERATION OF COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS Invites every woman's club and the entire public to be present at a mass meeting at Union Wesley A. M E.

FAIRMOUNT HEIGHTS The Tax Payers' Association of Fairmount Heights will hold a very important meeting some time in the near future. The tax payers of the country are generally dissatisfied with the high rate they are paying. The Mutual Improvement Company of Fairmount Heights has had its charter changed so as to be able to sell shares of stock to the amount of $1,000 to all takers. Mr. M. A. Charity of Fairmount Heights holds the controlling interest in the company. Some strange men have filed their applications with the state and county boards of education, asking that their names be considered for the position of supervisor of the colored school of Prince George's county. Rev. Sheaf, the Seventh Day Adventist, will preach at the M. E. Church, Fairmount avenue, Sunday, July 30th, 1916. Mr. Carter L. Marshall left last week for Williams College, Mass., where he will take a college course. The good citizens of Fairmount Heights wish him success. FALLS CHURCH, VA., NOTES. The annual rally of Second Baptist Church, pastored by Rey, G. W. Powell, D.D., passed off as expected in fine style. As predicated, the church hill and grove was just covered with people coming from far and near. Yes, they came from Mt. Pleasant with Rev Dr. Pinkett and his people: from Theological Seminary with Rev Dr. Ford and his people; from Merrillfield塑 — the Morrillfield Scouts. I believe gave $15 in the rally; from the city and elsewhere. There were automobiles full of folks. The church could not hold the people. Well, the expected happened. West End got that banner. Out of $303 (three hundred and three dollars) the West End Club, under Miss Estrella Collins, Captain, brought in the largest amount, seventy-two dollars ($72); Mrs. Georgia Taylor's Club came next. Fifth sixty-eight dollars) a great amount. A great audience, and people are having reason to be proud The Third Baptist Church, Rev. Hamilton Bowser, pastor, held interesting services also on Sunday. Mrs. Mary Bailey of Sparrows Point, Md., is visiting Mrs. N. B. Jones at Providence Heights, Va. Mrs. C. D. Scott returned home from Lynchburg, and reports her husband, Prof. Scott, of the Baptist College at Lynchburg, much improved in health; so much as that the Prof. made a business trip to Pittsburgh, Pa. IN MEMORIAM. Departed this life Saturday, July 21, 1916, at 1:30 o'clock. Beatrice V., one of the youngest daughters of Mr. and Mrs. William Shaw of 735 Twenty-fourth street northwest.

FLAGS OF IRELAND Only Since 1793 Has.Green Been the National Color. BEFORE THEN IT WAS BLUE That Was the Color of Fionn MacCumhall's Standard, Which Is Said to Be the True Flag of Erin—The Ancient "Spear and Serpent." The universal belief concerning the flag of Ireland is that it has always been "the harp without the crown" imposed on a field of green and that green has from time immemorial been Erin's color. I venture to say that ninety out of every hundred persons will assert, in answer to a query, that the harp on a green background has constituted Ireland's national design these many centuries, this belief obtaining generally among the Irish themselves. In opposition to this belief it will appear strange, when the asseveration is made that Ireland's national color until something more than a century ago was blue. It may indeed produce a bit of a shock to many who have been wedded to the notion that "the Emerald isle" "the shamrock is green" "our green isle beyond the sea" and other similar expressions were indispassibly and forever come to mind with the country's national colors. But as a matter of fact the green flag made its first appearance in 1798, the year of the uprising, so that as flags go it is comparatively new. Green, you know, is a blend of the orange and the blue, and it is asserted that green was adopted in 1798 by the United Irishmen to typify the union of north and south, orange being the color affected in the northern part of Ireland and blue in the southern provinces. In point of antiquity the real Irish flag is the "spar and seep," which appears in the arms of the O'Sullivans. It is said to commemorate the indecisive of Ganhald Glas, the ancestor of Millestius, who, tradition says, was cured of a snake bite by the red of Moses. Next to that comes the flag of Flown MacCumbhall's militia, the golden sunset on a blue ground, and the weight of opinion among all Irish students of research seems to favor this as the true national flag. Indeed, blue was always Ireland's national color until 1798. Quite a number of other flags have figured in Irish history, and each of them has its line of enthusiastic supporters. Not the least popular among these is the flag exhibiting three golden crowns imposed on a blue ground, which figures at the present: day in the arms of the province of Munster. This flag was accepted after the Norman invasion in the year 1170 as the ensign of Ireland, the three crowns representing the kingdoms of Desmond, Ormond and Thomond. It was retained until 1547, when Henry VIII abolished it and substituted the harp. Coming down to more recent times it is found that, the parliament of Ireland, of which Henry Grattan was the head, did not recognize green, although it did accept the harp. That parliament's flag was a golden harp on a blue ground. At the time of the union with England in 1801 a new flag was evolved apparently for the express purpose of incorporating it with what is now known as the union jack, but it does not seem to have caught the popular fancy any more than the act of union. This was the red salute on a white ground, which was strenched St. Patrick's cross. Apparently it was taken from the arms of Trinity college at Dublin, though how Dublin came by it is a mystery. The tricolor of green, white and orange—"The orange and green, with the stripe of peace between"—is the recognized flag of the Irish Nationalists, whose aim is complete independence. James T. Doyle in Baltimore American. Hard to Move In Russia. An American wished to move from the principal hotel in Petrograd to a smaller hotel around the corner. He came down with his bag packed ready to go. "Sorry," said the manager, "but you cannot leave this hotel or register at another hotel until we get your passport from the police, and that will take a day and a night. You must go through exactly the same procedure as if you were leaving the country." Gallieni's Epigrams: The late General Gallienl was a master of epigrammatic expressions. "Don't criticise until you can remedy," is one. "If you've got brains, use them; if not, plant cabbages." was another of the general's sayings. "Set things going, and keep them going," and "Say what you want done, but don't say more than a man can remember," were two other counsels.—Winsterlin Gazette. Temperament: Technically, temperament means "the special type of mental constitution due to natural characteristics of the bodily organism." Broadly speaking, temperament is character—the mental makeup of a person, the way he is inclined to think and feel about things in general—New York American. His Own Defense The charge was assault and battery. "Have you any one to defend you?" asked the judge. "Defend me!" exclaimed the prisoner indignantly. "I don't want anybody. I'll defend myself.

Will convene at Sharon Baptist Church of Baltimore, Stricker and Presstman streets, N. W. Baltimore, August 27th, 10 A. M., Wednesday before first Sunday in September, 1916. Because of the high cost of living, delegates will be charged $1.00 per day paid when they register, and assigned homes by cards where they will stop during the Convention's session. The dollar will include meals served at the church and pay for lodging. The indications are that more delegates will be present than at any previous annual meeting of the Convention. The pastor, officers and members will do everything they can to make the delegates stay while in Baltimore pleasant. Delegates will add to their comfort by informing the pastor they will attend the Convention, on or before August 20th, 1916. Address the pastor, Rev. W. W. Alexander, D.

Threatened the King. The honor of knighthood is not one which appeals to everybody. Coke of Norfolk, who considered that he had a far better claim than the speaker to the designation of first commoner of England, strongly disliked the idea of a handle to his name. This fact was well known to George IV. When Coke was chosen to lead a deputation praying the king to dismiss from his person and council those advisers who by their conduct had proved themselves alike enemies to the throne and people George announced that he would get even with him. "If Coke of Norfolk enters my presence," he declared, "I swear I'll knight him." The threat was repeated to Coke, who rejoined, "If he dares such a thing I swear I'll break his sword." And, as the sturdy Norfolk squire was quite capable of doing this, George refrained from carrying out his threat. Feet of the Chameleon. In their tongue, their feet and their eyes chameleons differ remarkably from other lizards. Their feet, though possessing five toes, are divided into two grasping groups, looking like a hand in mittens, and only by close examination you perceive the presence of the two or the three opposing respectively, but so close together as to appear like one broad one. On the padded sides or palms of these grasping limbs you can feel and see the small—may one say—papl, which enable them to grasp so firmly that it is difficult to detach a chameleon from its foothold. These clinging feet, together with their prehensile tail, enable them to sustain themselves on the branches in the strongest gale. Needn't Go Higher. A drawing master, who had been worrying a pupil with contemptuous remarks as to his want of skill in the use of the pencil, ended by saying: "If you were to draw me, for example, tell me what part you would draw first?" The pupil, with a significant meaning in his eye, looked up into his master's face and quietly said: "Your good, dear! London Tit Pite "Your neck, sir."—London Tlt-Bits. "Father, you always seem to be in a better humor when you come home at night than when you go away in the morning," said the daughter. "Of course," replied the parent; "you see I have some money in my pocket when I come home."—Yonkers Statesman. NAUCK, VA.. FLASHES.

M.—Subject: "WHERE ARE THE DEAD— SISTERS AND BROTHERS?" OUR, MOTHERS, FATHERS, Around the World," was given at Mt. Calvary Baptist Church. It was largely attended and appreciated by all. There was a request made to have this entertainment repeated in the community. This entertainment was under direction of the Ladies' Willing Workers' Club, led by Mrs. L. A. Lewis, wife of the assistant pastor, with Mrs. Hunter, Mrs. Payne, Mrs. Ashton, Mrs. Groomes and the young Misses Hortons. The Fourth of July at this point was well observed; a picnic given by Mr. Brad Groomes at his park being the special feature. Baseball and other amusements were had; but the occasion of special interest was found in the assembling of the attending crowd in the pavilion of the park to listen to a splendid address, filled with words of encouragement, instruction and kindly advice given in a well delivered lecture by the Rev. Dr. Frank Page, brother of the Hon. Thomas Nelson Page, Ambassador to Rome. Among other good words spoken for the race, Dr. Page said that the negro must have progress, perseverance and protection, and expressed himself very much pleased at the real advancement made by the colored people as shown in their first county school fair. Rev. E. T. Lewis, the assistant pastor of Cayalry Baptist Church, had occasion to return the visit made by Pastor Burrell of Union Baptist Church, Vienna, by attending Rev. Burrell's afternoon service on the second Sunday in this month. The receipts of "The Trip Around the World" entertainment were $13 and some cents. HOWARD THEATER. A large Monday night crowd greeted the stock players at the Howard in the four-act paly, "In the Bishop's Carriage." The play, like nearly all of those offered by these players, pictures conditions of the underworld. It is a story of a young girl, "Nance Olden," a thief, whom "William Lattimer," a prominent lawyer, wishes to reform. An attempt is made by her and her crook pay, "Tom Dorgan," to rob her benfactor and at the last moment she changes her mind. Her pal, disgusted with her weakness, quarrels with her and at that moment the master of the house appears and "Dorgan" is handed over to the police. The girl is given a chance as an actress and makes good. "Lattimer" finds he has fallen in love with her but when he proposes marriage she tells him he is too good for her, and also that she loves "Dorgan." The crook has broken jail and confronts the couple rudely kissing the girl and claims her as his own. Her love—or what she thought her love—dies. Later at the station house the crook denounces the girl as a confederate but on her pleading for a chance, he disclaims the partnership and the losers fall into each others arms. Mrs. Chenault as "Lattimer" is, as usual, very good and Miss Anita Bush as "Nance" made a very favorable impression. Mr. Bishop as the crook, played his part well. Mr. Cook seems to be able to evoke a laugh each time he appears here, but we think he overdid the drunk scenes. Mr. Mores will have to talk a little more slowly to be effective and also to be less ferocious. This seems to be his failing. Several of the players need to "feel" the parts a little more and to loseen up a bit. Taken all in all the THE HOWARD THEATRE The Play You Have Been Waiting For "The Third Degree" MRS. CHAS.

IVY CITY BEAMS Trinity Baptist Church had interesting meetings from Sunday School hour in the morning through the 3 o'clock afternoon Fraternal Society hour. Rev. C. W. Hearns was in charge of the day's meetings with Deacon Gillespie and others assisting. The pastor, Rev. E. T. Lewis, spent a great day at Manassas, Va., preaching for the Rev. Marshall Williams, pastor there, who for more than a year has been afflicted from paralysis. Rev. Lewis also assists Rev. Williams at one of his other churches in Virginia. The St. Joseph Cadet Lodge No. 2, A. O. Knights of Jerusalem, Juvenile Boys' Department, organized March 19, 1903, held a celebration in Trinity Baptist Church at 3 p. m., and listened to a sermon preached by Rev. C. H.

Two Old Time Offenders and the Way They Were Punished. Two poets, both honest and peaceable and one a Quaker, were fond of telling anecdotes of two old time delinquents, the one quarrelsome and the other thievish. John Greenleaf Whittier was exceedingly fond of quoting the lines, handed down from time immemorial in the Haverhill countryside: The man who whipped old Timothy Swan Paid his fine in Indian corn. He paid his fine and he paid it quick—a peck of corn for every lick! Whether the fine imposed on old Timothy's assailant was judicially decreed and legally nobody knows. But in the case of a fine of three bushels of rye once ordered paid by Ebenezer Snell, grandfather of William Cullen Bryant, it is quite certain that neither judge nor jury had anything to do with the matter. Nevertheless it was paid and promptly. "My grandfather," Bryant used to relate, "once found that certain pieces of lumber, intended for the runners of a sled and called in that part of the country sled crooks, had been taken without leave by a farmer who lived at no great distance. Such timbers' were made from a tree, the grain of which was curved so as to correspond with the curve required in the runners. "The delinquent received notice that his offence was known and that if he wished to escape a prosecution he must carry a bushel of rye to each of three poor widows living in the neighborhood and tell them why he brought it." He escaped prosecution. But if the tongues of the three poor widows were as lively as those of most country gossips and the public opinion of the village as strict as in most New England communities he did not escape punishment a good deal in excess of three compulsorily bestowed bushels of rye—Youth's Companion. A WORD ABOUT THE And the Influence He Wields All Over the World. Wherever the Scotchman goes he becomes a leader. You hear of the Irish vote, the German vote, the Italian vote, but you hear 'only' of Scottish leadership. He has had a powerful influence on our country. Our first newspaper was published by a Scotchman; a Scot first won international honors for American letters; the steamboat, telephone, telegraph and electric light were devised by men of Scotch descent. The second college in our land was founded by a Scotch divine; our constitution was framed and adopted largely by the influence of two Scotch lawyers; our most majestic orator, our most winning politician, our most metaphysical statesman, our greatest diplomatist and our greatest poet were of Scotch lineage. So of many of our business captains and railroad magnates, almost one-half of our presidents and a large proportion of our cabinet members, judges and governors. Was there ever such a drain of leadership upon a like area? The Scotch have not alone helped make America. They control Australia, direct New Zealand, lead Canada and rule Africa. For centuries Scot and Briton were bitterest enemies. Edinburgh and Paris conspired against London. The union when it finally came was one of crows and not of hearts. There still lurks jealousy under the surface. Write a letter to a loyal Glasgonian, address it "North Britain," and see what happens.—Samuel P. Orth in Century. Historic Phrase. On the morning after the assassination of Lincoln James A. Garfield, then a representative in congress, addressed a large assemblage in Wall street, New York city. A crowd were about to attack a newspaper which had been hostile to Lincoln. Garfield calmed them with the simple words: "Fellow citizens, clouds and darkness are round about him. His pavilion is dark waters and thick clouds of the skies. Justice and judgment are the establishment of his throne. Mercy and truth shall go before his face. Fellow citizens, God reigns and the government at Washington still lives!" Dream Life. I called aloud in the forest, and the shout carne back. Then I searched long to find who answered me, but the sound had no source. I followed the will-o-the-wisp through swamps at evening. It led me hither and yon, but I came nowhere. It was only the ghost of a light. I saw an apple hanging in the depths of a pool. I stopped to pick it and laved my hands in the water. The apple had no form. This is dream life—Atlantic. Life's Little Comedian It is funny to watch a cat whip a dog. The dog always looks sheepish. So does the owner. And after it is all over the woman who owns the cat usually pops out and demands truculently: "What, you trying to do with my cat?"-Chicago Herald. Little Pitcher Malden Aunt-So you're studying physiology, Willie? Well, tell me, to what part of the animal kingdom do I belong? Sweet Little Willie--Dunno. Pa says you're an old hen and ma says you're an old cat--Baltimore American. Protected by Grass. Chinese railroad embankments are protected from floods by planting them with a native grass with tenacious roots that resist erosion. Politeness is a locksmith and opens many difficult doors. DARING WHALERS. Risks They Take When They Dive With the Harpooned Animal. Many of the Japanese whalemen are most expert and daring men. After a whale has been cornered, harpooned and is slowly giving out from exhaustion the nimble expert of the whaling crew must prove his mettle. The skilled Jap, after jumping upon the animal's back and cutting two gashes in the head, one on either side, through which a rope must be run and tied, cannot always perform his work in one trial. Often the animal makes a deep dive. But the little Jap must hold fast to his quarry and dive also, trusting to the fates that his own air supply in his lungs will last as long as that of the whale's. The Jap is safer from being drowned than from being crushed by the infuriated animal's tail. If the little Jap lets go it usually means his death, so he hangs on to the diving quarry. Frequently these whalemen lose their lives from drowning, but the members of their crew look upon this misfortune with something of a fatalistic regard. But the main business in hand is the capture of the whale. As the right progresses and the maddened, frightened mammal grows weaker and finally is dying the boat crews row closer to the body and pray for the ease of his departing spirit. Members of the crew will call out the words, "Joraku, joraku, joraku!" and on the third day after the mammal has been hauled ashore a service is held and prayers offered for the animal's future contentment of spirit. As soon as the animal has been towed to the shore line he is cut up, the Japs making huge excavations and penetrating inside the animal's body as though entering a mine shaft or gallery. It is a grewsome sight, but is looked upon purely as a matter of course among the Jap whalemen.—Exchange. HOLD UP YOUR HEAD. It Will Stimulate You Mentally as Well as Physically. In a letter to Robert Grimshaw of the New York university William Muldoon gives advice that it would be well for every man and woman, boy and girl in America to take to heart. He says: "I was taught in early manhood not to throw my shoulders back; stick my chest out, draw my stomach in or hold my chin down like a goat preparing to butt, but to always try and touch some imaginary thing with the crown of my head. If one tries to do that—first understands how to try and then tries—he doesn't have to pay any attention to the rest of his physical being. That effort to touch something above him not with his forehead, but with the crown of his head, will keep every particle of his body in the position that nature intended it should be. And as a boy I was advised to. frequently back up against the wall and make the back of my head, my shoulders, hips, heels all press against the wall at the same time, and in that way get an idea of what was straight, or, in other words, how crooked I was becoming by drooping." Both to young and old Mr. Muldoon's "hold your head up" suggestion is inspiring. Try it. The effect physically and mentally is immediate. When the head goes higher the impulse is to deeper breathing. A man finds more elasticity in his limbs. He steps out with more ease. There is more spring to his gait. He isn't a lumbering, shumbling creature, but a man alive. With the elevation of the crown of the head there seems to come clearer thinking, a more buoyant feeling and a brighter outlook—Commerce and Finance. Open the Eyes Under Water. Practice opening the eyes under water in swimming, for with favorable conditions there is much to be seen and enjoyed in the queer, ghostly light below. The ability to see when below the surface may some time prove of priceless value. It is one of the attributes of swimming, and it may be readily mastered. But do not open the eyes until well below. The closed lid is an ample protection when one is plunging from any height, and it should remain closed until the first swift downward rush is ended.—All Outdoors. Sizes of the Planetx An ingenious way of comparing the sizes of planets with the sun is suggested by a French scientific writer. Let the earth, he says, be represented by a twenty france piece; then Venus is 15 francs, Mars 2, Mercury 7, Uranus 280, Neptune 320, Saturn 1,840, Jupiter 6,800 and the sun 6,780,000. Didn't Care For It. "Ever try liquid soap?" asked the barber. "No, and don't want to," replied the man in the chair. "Why not?"

Horeb Baptist Church, is still in the south. He seems to be the same in health—no improvement. The Rev. C. H. Fox is still in charge of the work. The last Sunday morning service was well attended; also the Lyceum and night services. Communion services are held every fourth Sunday and all members from sister churches in good standing are welcome. Rev. J. T. Clark, pastor; Rev. C. H. Fox, assistant pastor. The Baptist Ministers' Conference in session Monday, July 17, at Metropolitan Baptist Church, pastored by Rev. M. W. D. Norman, D.D., voted to hold its closing session for the summer at the Mt. Olive Baptist Church, East Arlington, Va., pastored by the conference, Rev. Joseph H. Lee, B.D., on Monday, August 7, 1916, being the first Monday in August. A nice program is being arranged for that occasion. Dr. Norman is the president of this conference and will preside, with Dr. J. J. Loving as secretary. The men's meeting at the Union Baptist Mission, under direction of Rev. A. T. Moore, pastor, assisted by Rev. Clatterbuck, on Saturday night, July 15, proved to be a fervent spiritual and highly instructive occasion Rev. Dr. P. B. Harris preached a sermon "to men only" from the subject, "What is Man?" Text, "What is man that Thou art mindful of him?" —Psalm 8:4. The arguments presented by the Rev. Dr. Harris showed deep research into the history of man, both from a Bible as well as profane standpoint. Among other things the speaker said: "Man may be looked upon as the most beautiful, organic structure of all creation; the only animal that understands God's wisdom, and yet the most disobedient and satisfied of all." Does not understand himself and therefore in his own perplexity cries out and asks God, "What is man?" The speaker gave a strong, clean and very instructive sermon which was attentively listened to by the men present. Being free from any vulgar expression or slang, women could have listened to this sermon with profit. Because of the lateness of the hour, the sermon could not be finished and will be repeated, perhaps, at a later date. The installation services of Rev. James E. Green as pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church at Arlington, Va., beginning July 9, and ending July 13, were carried out very fittingly. It was our good pleasure to listen to the sermon preached by the Rev. J. D. tion Baptist Church, Hall's Hill, Va., on Wednesday night, the 12th. It was a strong sermon, filled with non-sermonic matter and exemplifying the geographical setting, showing the power of the Spirit of God in the hearts and lives of those who trust in Him, over their enemies. He is a most forceful word painter. The Thursday night sermon was preached by Rev. J. D. Pair, pastor of St. John's Baptist Church, accompanied by the beloved pastor of First Baptist Church, Rosslyn, Va., Rev. Wm. A. Carter. $10,000 FOR MEMORIAL Tuskegee; Ala., July 18.—Through the kindness of Hon. Charles W.

First Separate Battalion Arrives—Major James E. Walker and His Gallaup Soldiers Ready for Battle When it Becomes Necessary—Many Promotions—An Old Mule a Regular Visitor. E. B. Smyth, Sergt. Major. Naco, Arizona, July 16, 1916—The First Separate Battalion, D. C. O. M., Major James E. Walker, commanding, arrived at Naco, Arizona, its present location, on Sunday, July 9, 1916. The railroad accommodations en route were all that could be desired; standard Pullman sleepers being provided for the officers and tourist sleepers for the men. All were glad to set foot on land again, and all hands went to work with a will, with the result that the present camp compares favorably with any heretofore made by the battalion. In all past encampments the battalion, as part of the brigade, has received its orders from the brigadier general commanding; but now it not only has the distinction of being the first troops from the District of Columbia to reach the border, but the commanding officer of the battalion is directly responsible for every detail of administration. Companies A, B, and C are located at the crest of a gentle rise and their position commands a view of the surrounding country. Company D, Lieutenant Arthur C. Newman, commanding, is stationed at the foot of this hill in charge of the water works. The battalion has been fortunate in being able to maintain strong companies well above the minimum—65. Our total strength, including the sanitary department, is officers and staff. Its number is to be increased during the coming week by the addition of 48 recruits from the mobilization Camp, Fort Myer, Va. The climate in this vicinity is excellent. The middle of the day is very hot, but the mornings are cool as well as the nights. Thus we are enabled to sleep throughout the night. The absence of mosquitos is also a pleasing feature of this section. CONSULT US FIRST ALL KINDS OF PRINTING Linotype Composition Electric Power Presses TRIANGLE PRINTING CO.

All mail intended for this battalion should be addressed, "First Separate Battalion, D. C. O. M., Naco, Arizona." The natives—Mexicans and others—have a very wholesome respect for the men of this battalion. This is due largely to the discipline enforced by the commanding officer; also to the excellent record made by the Tenth Cavalry which was encamped near here some time ago. Since leaving Washington the following changes and promotions have been made: First Lieutenant and Adjutant John E. Smith having been commissioned captain, will be the acting adjutant until relieved. Second Lieutenant West A. Hamilton, having been commissioned First lieutenant, will continue as acting quartermaster until relieved. Company A—Appoint Corporal Lawson sergeant; vice King, discharged.

Newman, in command; First Lieutenant Raymond A. Jackson. The adjutant's office, officially, the bureau of battalion information, has the services of two able men, Sergeant Major E. B. Smith and Battalion Clerk Merrick C. Hayson, in addition to their regular routine work, receive and deliver all mail for this unit. Sergeant T. Abrams, Corporal H. C. Ross and Private James E. Sanford, having qualified for second lieutenants, are anxiously awaiting their commissions. At 9 a. m., Sunday, July 16, 1916, our trumpeter bwrch church call. The officers and men responded promptly to the side of a bank in camp where an impressive service was held under the direction of Sergent Chas. C. Cooper of the Sanitary Detachment. Owing to the distance of some 2,500 miles separating us from our dear ones, the impressiveness of the services brought tears to many eyes. The Medical Detachment with the First Separate Battalion has proven itself equal to the task. Under the supervision of the only surgeon, Capt. Albert Ridgeley, they have vaccinated against smallpox, each officer and enlisted man here and have given three doses of the treatment), of typhoid prophylactic to all officers, and 95 per cent of the men. Camp sanitation is rigidly enforced. All kitchen garbage and refuse, freshly opened tins, etc., are burned in kitchen incinerators, made of adobe mud, lined with stones, of which there were millions on the camp site. Those not used for this this have been utilized to pave entrances to the tents, DR. PALMER'S SKIN WHITENER 25c Postpaid Whitens and Clears dark and brown skin.

The Surgeon has been ably assisted by Sergeant Chas. C. Cooper, who has had 15 years' experience in the regular army. The clerical work, of which there seems to be no end, has kept him at his desk constantly. He has been ably assisted by Privates Brooks and Jackson, who have never had regular army service, but whose quickness of comprehension have made their services almost indispensable. Private Reeves has gone in an auto looking for a recruiting officer, his time having expired on the 9th instant. Since Private Smith has been furnished a new outfit of clothing and obtained a Spanish manual, you would hardly be able to distinguish him from a Carranzista soldier. To Company C, Captain Louis H. Patterson commanding, belongs the honor of establishing the first guard of the First Separate Battallion D. C. O.-M. for the town of Naco. The international line passes through the town, and a guard is kept there all the time to observe conditions, exam- ine all parties having authority to cross the border, and to aid the sheriff of Naco in quelling all disturbances.

If you missed your jab you could. still take a healthy swing with the ax or pull him off his horse with the hook, A. whole regiment wih spears might hold off a cavalry charge, but in individual contests the soldier with the halberd stood the better chance. __ The ax: was especially. favored by the ‘Swiss, and they did so nicely with it that it spread.qnd became the principal weapon of central Europe for nearly’ 200.years. One English variation, the biti, had more of a sickle shaped blade; but, Uke the other, it was offective. ‘After one big blow you had a case for the’coroner, not the ambulance. ,° Other cheerful products of those days was the mace,’ Th{s was-a club of fron or steel, blossoming out at the business end into projecting ridges of metal.

PENDELTON, 113 N. Yale St. N.Y. Register of Wills for the District of Columbia, Clerk of the Probate Court. WILLIAM C. MARTIN, Attorney. If there ever was a healthy and cool spot in this city it can be found at Madame Cannon's on Good Hope. The Editor of The Bee and several of his friends spent a most delightful afternoon and evening in this balliwick last Sunday. It is the most refreshing health resort in the city. Beautiful swings, cool breezes, plenty to eat and the best spring water that can be found. Madame Cannon and her daughter, Cecelia, always make your stay pleasant. Mr. Charles and child are on a visit. Mr. Charles is here to regain his Forces That Control the Curve They Take to Reach the Ground. The trajectory of a rifle is the curve which the bullet describes in traveling from the muzzle of the rifle to its mark at a given range. This curve is the component of two forces—first, the momentum imparted to the bullet in the rifle barrel and, second, the downward pull of gravitation. Many persons have the erroneous idea that so long as a body is traveling ahead very fast it will not drop. The fallacy of this notion can be very prettily shown by a laboratory experiment in which two rubber balls of the same size and weight are projected from a miniature catapult at precisely the same instant, but in such a way that ball A has double the velocity of ball B. Although ball A will travel twice as far as ball B before it strikes the floor, it will always be observed that the two balls strike the floor at the same instant. High velocity, then, does not free a rifle bullet from the effect of gravity, but it does enable it to travel a greater distance ahead before it has had time to fall any given distance. That is the true reason why high velocity tends to give a low trajectory. For comparison of cartridges the height of the trajectory at midrange is generally taken as the standard.—Outing. APACHES OF PARIS. Strife Over an Underworld Beauty Led to Their Undoing. The apaches of Paris are an order of the lowest and most dangerous criminals in the world. There is not a great central organization like the Italian orders and no fixed rules or assemblies. It consists merely of groups of crooks operating in different quarters of the city. These little groups or circles take their names from the quarter of the city that they inhabit and have their own conventional signs, places of meeting, leaders and the like. The members are usually young, beginning as boys of ten or fifteen years. The women associated with these criminal bands are called marmites in the vernacular of the underworld. There was a struggle in Paris between the apache bands of Manda and Lecca, involving, like the Iliad, the abduction of a Helen. She was a famous beauty in the subterranean cafes of Paris and called, in the argot of Montmartre, La Casque d'Or. The very name has the ring of romance. She was betrothed to the leader of the Manda and was carried off by the rival band of Lecca. War followed between the bands—a bitter, vindictive, bloody feud. This contest destroyed the apache ascendancy in Paris—Melville D. Post in Saturday Evening Post. THE STARS AND STRIPES. First Carried by Troops In Battle In the Mexican War. The American flag collections of the United States National museum in Washington include, some interesting examples of our flag, indicative of its development in several historical periods, its many changes and its gradual standardization. It is interesting to note that during the Revolution the flag had thirteen stars; in the war of 1812, fifteen; in the Mexican war, twenty-nine; in the civil war, thirty-five; in the Spanish-American war, forty-five, and today, forty-eight. The American flag is among the oldest of national flags, being older than the present British union jack, the French tricolor and the flag of Spain and many years older than the flags of Germany and Italy, some of which, like those of other countries, are personal flags, or those of reigning families. The history of our flag indicates that the "stars and stripes" was not carried by troops in battle until the period of the Mexican war, 1846-7, though we have record of its use as a garrison flag from about 1787 or 1798 to 1834. Bodies of troops carried during this period and before it what was known as national colors or standards of blue with the arms of the United States emblazoned thereon, comprising an eagle surmounted by a number of stars, and with the designation of the body of troops, as infantry, artillery, etc., inscribed on a scroll. In 1834 the artillery were given the right of carrying the stars and stripes as recorded by the war department regulations, the infantry and cavalry still using the infantry arms with an added scroll in the eagle's beak bearing the words "E. Pluribus Unum." These flags remained the colors of the infantry until 1841 and the cavalry until as late as 1887, when they were ordered to employ the stars and stripes. FANATICS IN THE ORIENT. In Persia Religious Maniacs Are Regarded as Saints. It appears there are places where lunatics are not shut up and kept away from the rest of the world, but are revered as saints. This is the queer state of affairs that exists in some of the interior cities of Persia, according to an oriental traveler named Fetter, who tells interesting tales of mentally deranged men who are looked upon in the light of wonderful beings. One particularly crazy man, according to Mr. Fetter the craziest man he ever saw or heard of, does nothing all day long but race up and down the streets of the city crying out at the top of his voice: Mr. Fetter says that this is not a temporary form of madness, for the man has kept it up for twenty years or so. He started it when he was still a young man, and his idea, of course, is to venerate the name of the god he knows by ceaselessly shrinking his name. "Every one venerates this lunatic," says Mr. Fetter. "The richest men in the city have presented him with rare gifts. One of them gave him a horse and saddle, and with that he gallops through the streets when he is not walking. He is privileged to break up any kind of meeting or assembly, and all stop and listen to his cries as long as he is of the notion to stay in their midst. "At his death a huge monument has already been promised, on which will be carved the word 'All'; so it will tell to generations to come the story of the man who spent the best years of his life and all of his waking hours shrieking the name of the deity he worshiped."—Exchange. How "Abide With Me" Was Written. At the age of fifty-four Lyte found himself doomed to die of consumption, and in sorrow at having to leave his task unfinished; he prayed that at the least it might be granted to him to write something which would live to the glory of God when he was dead. Then on the last evening he ever spent at Brixham, after preaching his farewell sermon, he took his pen and, as the sun was setting over the ships that lay in the harbor, "Abide With Me" was written. Next morning he started for the Riviera and there died a month later—London Telegraph. It Was All Over. Molly, the new girl, was one of those heavy handed creatures who was forever dropping or breaking things. Hearing a crush of glassware one morning, her mistress called in a resigned voice from the next room: "Well. Mollie, what are you doing now?" "I ain't doin' nothin', mum. It's done," replied the treasure. Domestic Einessse. "These are unusually fine cigars, Mrs. Jiggers. Your husband is lucky to have you select them for him." "Oh, he doesn't smoke that kind regularly. I use them to slip in his pocket whenever I give him a letter to post."-Baltimore American. "I notice the ladies all tell the shoe clerk exactly what sizes they wear." "Say on. Macduff." "And I also notice that he measures their feet just the same."—Louisville Courler-Journal. "The landlord called for the rent this morning." "Did you ask him to call again?" "It wasn't necessary. He threatened to."-New York World. S.
