Station and a member of Progressive Lodge No. 35, Jersey City, N. J., together with many others. From the station, the committee escorted Mr. Scott, in taxicabs, to the Lybia Hotel, where reservation had been made by Imperial Lake for his comfort in the city of New York. Stop that time until the hour of his departure for his home city, there was nothing but a continuous round of pleasure On Thursday night, the chief event took place at the Harlem Casino, 116th St. and Lenox Avenue, where a mammoth reception, upon the occasion of the Tenth Anniversary of Imperial Lodge; was tendered in honor of the Grand Exalted Ruler. Upon this occasion there were present to welcome the honored guest, the officers and members of Imperial Lodge No. 127; of Manhattan Lodge No. 45; of Monarch Lodge No. 45, all of the city of New York, together with the officers and members of Eureka Temple No. 22, and Invincible Temple No. 77, both of the city of New York. There were also present the officers and members of Brooklyn Lodge No. 32, accompanied by the Ladies' Temple of the city of Brooklyn, and Progressive Lodge No. 35 of Jersey City, accompanied by the Ladies' Temple of that city.

Mackenzie, Daughter Deputy, of the State of New York, in very happy and approprionly presented to Mr. Scott, in behalf of Eureka Temple No. 22, of New York City, a full sized gold gavel, beautifully and appropriately engraved. Thereupon, Past Grand Exalted Ruler, J. Frank Wheaton, introduced the Grand Exalted Ruler, Armond W.

His speech was received amid the wildest of enthusiasm. After this, Mrs. Annie Lee, Degree Mistress of Invincible Temple No. 77 presented to Mr. Scott a beautiful Ivory traveling toilet set enclosed in a leather case, which presentation was also fittedly responded to. From this line on, until 5 o'clock Friday morning pleasure reigned supreme. On Friday night, Brooklyn Lodge No. 32 tendered the Grand Exalted Ruler a most elaborate banquet and many of the brethren of New York City accompanied their Chief, in taxicabs, from Harlem to Brooklyn. This was also indeed an event long to be remembered, and the Brooklyn brothers spared neither pains nor expense in order to fully show to the head of the Order the esteem and confidence in which he is held by every member that lodge. On Saturday afternoon, a luncheon was tendered Mr. Scott at the magnificent residence of N. Lenor M. Wynn. 245 W. 131st St., which occasion there were present all of the leading Daughter Elks of the city of New York, and all agreed that this was indeed a most unusual social event.

D. McDaniel is Exalted Ruler. This prince of gentlemen and gentleman good fellow was at his best upon this lodge and the expense to which this lodge went and the manner in which this banquet was characterized is characteristic of the way that Monarch Lodge generally does things. At 12:30 Saturday night, Feb. 3rd, Mr. Scott took his departure from New York, after having made a wonderful impression upon the sisters and brothers of our city, and by his unusual personality and vim, inspired new life and enthusiasm into everyone with whom he is in contact. The needed are the brothers of the Borough of Manhattan over the recent visit of our Grand Exalted Ruler, that they are now planning a great testimonial reception to be tendered him some time in April. the same to be given in the name of all of the lodges and temples of the cities of New York, Brooklyn, and Jersey City. THE BETHEL LITERARY. Bethel Literary was put to a severe test last Tuesday evening, and how well she stood it was manifested by the overflowing and enthusiastic throng which greeted Rev. F. F. Martyn, the speaker in the gymnasium of the Y. M. C. A. At seven o'clock, on the evening of the meeting, just one hour before time for the gavel to fall, calling the house to order, the president, Mr. Pinkett, was telephoned, that the severe cold weather had burst the water pipes in the Lincoln Congregational Temple, where the meetings are being temporarily held, and diligent effort had failed to put them in order in time to provide heat for the evening. The resourcefulness of Rev. Emory B. Smith suggested transferring the meeting to the Y. M. C. A., and immediately Mr. Beckett was gotten in touch with: Within ten minutes after learning that a change of place of meeting was necessary, arrangements were perfected for holding the meeting in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium: A picket was stationed at the church to direct the people to the place of meeting while the president, and Mr. Beckett superintended the placing of chairs in the gymnasium, and at eight o'clock the doors were thrown open and the gathered throng welcomed to a comfortable and spacious assembly hall. If the speaker of the evening felt any embarrassment as a result of the Association's dilemma there was nothing to indicate it, either in his private conversation or his public utterance. For little more than an hour he held his hearers as if by magic while he presented the subject, "The Negro's Place in the World's History." Without manuscript or note of any sort, his language flowed as freely as the placid yet compelling waters of the Mississippi. At the conclusion of his speech he was greeted by long and vociferous applause which only subsided when he arose and bowed acknowledgement. Rev. F. F. Martyn must be acknowledged as an orator of the first water, and a man who has read extensively. The solo by Mrs. Frances Crowder was of the first order, and in keeping with the evening's softy entertainment. WALTERS' MEMORIAL. Zion Ministers Throughout the Country. Will Hold a National Memorial. The Zion ministers throughout the country will hold national memorial services to the memory of the late Bishop Alexander Walters Monday night, March 12th. Place will be named after The Tue. Dr. S. L. Corrothers, as chairman, requests the name of all who desire to co-operate to send their names to 1224 U street northwest. A GLIMPSE OF OUR HEAVENLY HOME And he showed me a pure river of life, clear as crystal, proceeding out of the throne of God, and the Lamb. In the midst of the street of it and on either side of the river was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits and yielded her fruits every month: And the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. And there shall be no more curse; but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and His servants shall serve Him.-Rev. 22:1-3. The winter of the year suggestive of death-Birds leaving for warmer climes; trees with bare limbs; dolefulness even in the air. So we might be pardoned for thinking of our Heavenly home this morning. In the Revelation, we have conflicts between the church and the forces of darkness. Jesus vs. the rulers of darkness—good and evil symbolized—and the final triumph of good. 1. Notice in the first place some special features of the Home. (a) It is a city with twelve gates; they stand open; a place of freedom; Christians may enter from every direction and from every nation; all redeemed men and women welcome. (b) Gates stand for freedom; perfect liberty of the sons of God; no legislation to restrict this liberty; no dangers without to intrude upon the citizens of the city. The home stands for what the river in the midst of the street of it symbolizes, refreshing, life-giving, cleansing beautiful; the trees signify soulfood, spiritual, healing. God satisfies the soul that trusts Him; perfect satisfaction abounds there. (c) It is a place, not only a state. "In my Father's house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you I go to prepare a place for you. I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there you may be also."—John 14:2-3. Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us, a place of enlarged knowledge, knowledge of God and His plans; a place of love; a place of perfect place of endless joy; contrast with earth, labor, toll, fatigue; but there remain a rest to the people of God in work or rest there—(1) The body of Christ there—Same came to John Patmos—"One like unto the Son of man," our redeemed and risen bodies like His, will be there. An interior view of our home; [Image of a man in a dark coat, sitting with his hand on his chin.] BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS The Leader of the New Political Propaganda, Is Dead—No Believed in the Political Emancipation of Colored Americans. "There shall be no more curse." No devil there; world without a devil, in contrast with this. He is the source of all evil, afflicting the people of God; as a roaring lion seeking whom he may deyour. Sowing tare—(b) No hindrance to perfect peace. And there shall be no night there, no prejudice, no sins, no malice. (c) Some privileges noted: The presence of God and the Lamb, "But the areas of God and the Lamb shall be in it." We shall see His face; intimate communion with God and Christ. To be, in His presence is heaven. In this world we must part, but in heaven welcomes are in the air; welcomes at the gates; welcomes on the streets; no good byes. (1) His name shall be in their forehead making us His children indeed, entitled to all that is good and desirable. (2) With the saints of all times—what a blessed companionship; no disputes, no ills, no decadence. How to obtain admission: (a) The way is plain; none need err; the King's highway; we travel by faith and prayer; the Bible is the chart; the Holy Ghost comforts the traveler; none shall enter but the pure in heart.

Henderson, Physical Director Colored High Schools. West, left forward, Armstrong; Makell, right forward, Armstrong; Smith, center, Armstrong; Bacon, left guard, Armstrong; Garner, right guard, Dunbar. Armstrong Manual Training School basket ball team landed the high school championship again. The victories over rival schools were clean cut. At no time was her supremacy seriously threatened even through two of her regular five were out of the game for lacking scholarship qualifications. The Dunbar team with the exception of the team was weak, but towards the close of the scholastic showed much improved form. The young players on the team gave evidence of much latent ability that augurs well for another season. The season was begun early and ended soon, due to the fact that each school for the first time was enabled to meet an opponent on its home court for one game of the two played with each adversary. This enables the schools to engage in the athletic badge competition, the volleyball and indoor base-ball championship series before the weather permits outdoor activities to begin. Normal School put a team into the field this year and the teachers培养 the limited ability of students from which to make up a five. Although defeated by the high school lads, each game played, was hard fought and full of interest. With Howard varsity in the early season the teachers put up a stiff fight, and later found no difficulty in trimming the Academy and Commercial college boys. Coach McDuffe of Dunbar entered the season with but a weak hope of defeating his chief rival, and yet out of a mediocre group he turned out a well balanced team. Coach Maurice Clifford of Tech held intact his championship squad of the past year, and further perfected the running of his machine. The team is schooled in the northern and eastern trip during the Easter holidays. Meersa Rockett and Wilkinson offi- ciated in the games in their usual good way that means so much to character building of the athletes. Of the five players selected, one player, Garner was, in my judgment the most versatile. He easily ranks with the most finished products put out from the high schools. In guarding, passing and shooting he is unusually adept. Smith of Armstrong proved a find in center. His long range body coupled with good muscular coordination and individual stay West, Makell and Bacon account for the speed of the winning group. All three are fast, clever, and shoot well. There were other players who were strong in some branches of the game but I shall not mention them at this time. With the completion of the Dunbar High School and the Minor Normal School, facilities have greatly increased for athletics and physical training in its broad sense for both boys and girls. The Armstrong Manual Training School possessed the only gymnasium, and all of the indoor athletic activities were carried on within its conflines, with the exception of an occasional contest at the Y. M. C. institution contains two gymnasiums, a swimming pool, shooting gallery and spacious armory. Armstrong students have access to the departments of the new school at stated periods. All pupils in the Academic High School must take physical training class work one period per week for which they are rated. Athletic team practice is voluntary but is engaged in by nearly all normally active boys and girls who find the time. In the Technical High School, two periods per week are required for each course. Normal school take a course in athletic training and management, as well as light and heavy gymnasium work. For the first time major credit is given students who enroll in the special class for major physical training work. Eight periods per week must be pursued. Gymnastic, swimming, class leadership, and athletics are the subjects practically engaged in while lectures in first aid, anatomy, physiology and hygiene are given. The course in squad leadership has as well as making for better physical training in the regular classes. Each boy who is taking the major course has under his charge during an advisory period or the semester a group of boys whom he directs in work on the apparatus at games and to secure man and varied work at different apparatus, than if the entire class spent the time at one piece of apparatus. It is now possible to have, indoors, inter-classbasketball, volleyball, and indoor baseball championships as well as inter-school championships in these games. Swimming events will become a feature of the athletic events. Out of doors will take place at usual the track... baseball, and football sports with the advent this season of a tennis tournament. Medical inspection and dental inspection that bringing results in increased health efficiency is a part of the work. Thus, with the aid of sound bodies and health as true preparedness and a basis for all other kinds, these increased facilities have proven a step in universally approved direction. NATIONAL NEWS NOTES. Brief Bite of News and Comment on Mefet News for Louis- ville, Missouri for Newspapers Missions For Negroes Louisville Louisville churches in Louisville have completed a canvass for funds to enlarge the scope of the work of the Missions for Negroes in Louisville, which netted $52,052, $7050 more than had been fixed as the necessary amount. There are three missions in Louisville devoted to the advancement of the Negro and while the work is done under the supervision of the Presbyterian church, it consists principally of teaching Negroes trades and professions. The missions are open to men and women and boys and girls and the facilities have been overtaxed by the number of those desiring to take advantage of the various courses provided. Working for a Change in Public Sentiment. St. Louis, Mo.—The bright oasis in present-day discussion of the issues between the temperance people, and others, is afforded in the position being taken by leading brewers of the country who are promoting an active sentiment antagonistic to some of the abuses of the saloon. Temperance forces have centered their attacks mainly upon hard drinking, whiskey and its attendant spirituous partners, but not upon malt, including beer, and the lighter wines. The whole question would be speedily settled if the brewers would break away from the distillers. That, this is being done is evidenced by some recent statements coming from brewers. For instance, in an interview with a reporter for a St. Louis newspaper, late in November, August A. Busch, of that city, one of the most prominent brewers in the United States, said that much might be done to counteract prohibition sentiment by strict enforcement of excise laws, discontinuance of bars in saloons, abolition of treating, and the elimination of the lawless saloonkeeper, through the cooperation of brewers to that end. Colonel Gustave Pabst, of Milwaukee, another of the country's most conspicuous brewers, at a convention in Cleveland recently, declared that he stood, for prompt prosecution of violators of the liquor laws, greater discrimination on the part of local authorities in granting of licenses, and fewer saloons, as means of counteracting the prohibition movement. Following this statement, a representative of The Christian Science Monitor in Milwaukee, obtained an interview with W. H. Austin, assistant to the president of the United States Brewers' Association and secretary of the Wisconsin Brewers' Association, who spoke for himself and for his official superior, Colonel Pabst. In his opening statement he said that the brewers of the United States are in earnest in their desire for reform in the liquor trade. "They stand ready," he said, "to back any reasonable movement for the enforcement of existing laws, and, if these do not cover the need, they are ready to aid in the enactment of laws that will." KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAN WILL TURN OUT IN FILL The Folk Festival bill is full of good things. Miss Burroughs has just announced the coming of Col. Roscoe Conkling • Stimmons to deliver the Lincoln-Douglass Night Address. In honor of his presence, Grand Chancellor J. T. Johnson has ordered the Grand Lodge, Officers andUniform Rank of Pythians of the Jurisdiction of the District of Columbia, to turn out Friday Night. Mr. Simmons will deliver one of the most powerful messages ever heard in the Nation's Capital. Roscoe can "deliver the goods" and not a man in Washington should fail to hear him. The Tuesday Night bill—"All Local Stars" is wonderfully attractive. What it takes to make an "All-Star" Programme, Washington has it. J. Henry Lewis and his Amphion aggregation is a treat within themselves. All the others are-Stars of the first magnitude and Washington will be out to see them shine. TRINITY A. M. E. ZION CHURCH. Trinity A. M. E. Zion Church is to undergo an extensive preparation; will be a thing of beauty when completed. For the first six months, under the pastorate of Rev. S. L. Corrothers, the collection has amounted to more than $1,200 and the congregation more than doubled its attendance. Friday night, March 16, the National Independence League, of which Dr. Corrothers is the President, will observe the hundredth anniversary of the birth of Fred Douglass. The following individuals will speak: Hon. W. C. Chase, Thos. L. Jones, Perri W. Frisby, J. Lewis Taylor, and JnoL. W. Lewis. Mt. Pleasant Quartette and Trinity Choir will furnish the music on this occasion. TO THE PUBLIC. A chorus is being organized to render Hiwatua in order to honor in some permanent, form the late, professor John T. Sayton. We are anxious to enlist the corporation of all the music lovers of the city. We take this opportunity to extend an invitation to the various choirs. an invitation to the Musical organizations and interested individuals to lend their talent and meet with us Wednesday night each week at 8 o'clock, Berean Baptist Church, V St. entrance.

A colored singing society was organized on Wednesday evening, February 7th, at 704 Tea street N.W., to sing solfoffi and cultivate the art of singing. About fifty persons enrolled their names as members, and it was decided to hold weekly rehearsals at above address on Thursday evenings from 8:30 to 9:30 P.M., during seasons and to present annually two or three public programs. Wellington A. Adams was elected as permanent director, with Mrs. J. F. Jones of Mt. Carmel Baptist church as president, and Miss Lottie Perry secretary temporarily. Persons interested in learning to sing by note are cordially invited to join at next meeting. The name of the new organization is The Columbia Singing Society. DR. B. W. JOHNSON: B.D. The death of Dr. R. W. Johnson, B. D., of Pasadena, California, comes as a shock to many of his friends, who knew and loved him. Dr. Johnson was the son of Dr. and Mrs. C. C. Johnson, of Blackstone, Va., brother of Mr. Edward T. Johnson, Brother-in-law of Mrs Rebecca West, both of the city. He was an alumnus of Petersburg V. N. C. L. Union University, and the University of Penn. Scarcely a dozen years ago, Dr. Johnson was married to Miss Henrietta Garrett, the matron of Hartshorn College, Richmond, Va., on its beautiful campus. Mrs. Johnson passed to the "Great Beyond" some seven or eight years ago. Rev. Johnson was an eloquent pupil orator, and a young man of sterling qualities, and deep religious convictions. His little daughters Marguerite and Helen, aged nine and eight years, respectively, survive him. "I hope to see my Pilot face to face when I have crossed the bar." Former Premier Asquith lately made a speech at Ladyblank to his constituents, and the Washington Post told us all about it. They did. In their story, however, they most unconsciously forgot to include these words: "such as the arming of mercantilmen." The former Premier states that this is one of the precautions being taken to combat the submarines, but the Washington Post, quite innocently we suppose, left out the very significant words. Of course, we do not accuse the Post of purposely omitting them; we merely suggest that they made a very gross historical blunder and bug that they excused this time. However, if such an instance occurs again, we will be inclined to believe that the Post commits no accident. If the complete paragraph, part of which the Post failed to get, was withdrawn from them by the London censor or some other just as unfair-minded an individual, we will be enough, to supply it to them in full "It is impossible to dispute the gravity of the (submarine) situation, but the navy has been supplemented by a measure, such as the arming of merchant ships and coast guards, the tonnage and allocation of the tonnage resources of the allies." THE BEE Is the paper that should be in every home in the city. It is the people's paper. Gave Freedom to One Hundred and Sixty Slayers. NEW RECORD FOR CLEMENCY Nearly Nine Hundred Convicts Pardoned—Moved to Mercy, Especially to Thieves—Governor Haya' Successor Prepares Bill For Establishment of State Board to Consider Pleas. Hot Spring, Ark.—Full statistics now available accord to former Governor George W. Hays, whose term expired Jan. 10, the record as a wholesale pardoner of criminals. No state executive anywhere, has ever been so lenient. From the time he assumed office in 1913 he turned out of the prisons a drove of criminals, some of whom had committed offenses of a vicious nature. He freed $89 in all, and of those 160 were murderers. Forty-five serving sen- 33 GOVERNOR GEORGE W. HAYS. tences for manslaughter and sixteen who had been guilty of involuntary manslaughter were released. But it was toward thieves his heart was even more greatly moved to mercy than toward murderers. The record shows that he pardoned absolutely or conditionally 252 persons who had been convicted of grand larceny. Thirty-nine guilty of both grand larceny and burglary have also been turned loose. Fifty-two convicted of assaults with intent to kill are now at large. His mercy fell also upon arsonists, robbers, wife deserters, yggmen of all degrees, bootleggers, perjurers, embezzlers, trespassers, bigamists, fences and night riders. Some of those who were pardoned have committed new offenses that returned them to tail. Dr. Charles Hillman Brough, now governor and formerly professor of political economics at the State university, says he does not think he will be moved to issue so many pardons during his term of office and has already prepared a bill for the legislature recommending the establishment of a pardon board. CARE FOR. MINING CHILDREN. Colorado Company to Send Out Dentist and Oculist. Denver.—The eyes and teeth of the school children in the mining camps of a leading fuel and iron-company are to be looked after by the company's medical and sanitary experts. The dentist and oculist, traveling separately, will visit all the camps in turn, reaching each mine about twice a year. The dentist will clean and examine teeth, furnish brushes without charge and fill teeth when necessary. The oculist will test the eyes and furnish glasses at actual cost. The same arrangement applies to the children of employees of the company's big steel plant. Upper Sandusky, O.-One afternoon recently as a passenger train on the Carey-Findlay branch of the Big Four neared Huber the brakeman called, the town. Then the train stopped suddenly. A couple of passengers alighted and looked for the town. They could not see it. They then discovered that the engineer had stopped to remove a stubborn dog from the track. ```markdown ``` DEATH TO RODENTS IN WAKE OF FOREIGN CATS New York.—Cats of all nations have gathered at the Chelsea plers, from West Fourteenth street to the Twenty-third street ferry, since the beginning of the war. The rats have been almost exterminated, and the hardiest dogs on West street are afraid to poke their noses inside the gates. The cats are mostly seagoing creatures. They prowl about in bands of fifteen to twenty and live chiefly on bones, dried prunes and raw rubber, which, it has been suggested, enables them to spring from pier to pier at night in search of prey. POLICE DOGS HELP IN WAR ON CRIME Sagacious Animals Go With Bluecoats on Patrol In Outlying Sections. New York. Now York's police dogs are having a large part in cleaning up crime in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn and in making it a place where women may walk the streets safely late at night without fear of annoyance. The vigilance and activity of the dogs have done much to rid this cozy settlement of detached houses of tramps, idlers and criminals. The dogs have also done much in Riverdale, where several were dispatched after a series of burglaries. series of surgery. The police department is devoting considerable time to the serious training of these dogs with a view to finding out to what extent they may be used in certain lines of police work. Kennels for the accommodation of twenty-four dogs have been built at Foster avenue and Ocean parkway, two blocks from the Parkville police station, and a good sized dogs' hospital has been constructed, in which the animals when ill may be isolated and receive veterinary treatment. There are twelve full grown Belgian and German shepherd dogs in the department, and to these may be added a litter of nine German shepherd puppies, which arrived at the kennels recently. The dogs are in charge of Sergeant Joseph Hickey, who has thirteen patrolmen to assist him in their handling. A dog is assigned to each patrolman. Every night the police go out to patrol with the animals. The dogs wear large leather muzzles, so that they may not bite any one, for they are powerful enough to tear a man limb from limb. GETS HALF MILLION FOR HIS OIL PRODUCING FARM Texan at Goose Creek Waited Patiently Until Things at Last Came His Way. Houston. Tex.-John Gaillard sold his farm at Goose Creek, Tex., recently for $500,000. There were 267.7 acres, and he reserved one-half acre, the ancient burial ground of the Gaillard family. The Gulf Production company was the purchaser. It owned oil leases on most of the farm from which Gaillard had been drawing a one-eighth royalty since the Goose Creek oil field was o'ed several years ago. Last August gusher oil was discovered on the Gaillard place, and since then the proprietor, known as the "silent magnate of Goose Creek," has drawn a half million in royalties. It was to avoid the payment of these royalties that the oil company bought the farm outright. John Gaillard is a man who speaks only, when necessary. He was born on the place forty-eight years ago. His father took up the land in the early days of Texas. With wealth at his command, John Gaillard does not keep a telephone in the house. His wife likes the simple life as well as the husband. Since 1907, when the first boring for oil at Goose Creek was begun, John Gaillard has silently watched the development—and held on to his land. Hundreds of thousands of barrels have gushed from the earth at Goose Creek since last August, and from every barrel the Gaillard family drew its royalty. If John Gaillard knows what to do with his money he is not telling any one. As one of his neighbors remarked, "John doesn't need a gyar-dee." WOLF ATTACKS LITTLE GIRL Half Starved Animal Is Then Slain by Farmers. Near Penn Yan. Rochester, N. Y.—A gray timber wolf weighing about eighty pounds and apparently almost starved, was killed in a small patch of woods near Penn Yan; not far from this city. Lucy Ballard, the twelve-year-old daughter of a farmer at Benton Center, near Penn Yan, was on her way to church when the wolf leaped out at her at a lonely point in the road. She screamed and struck at it with her handbag and fled down the road. Her cries were heard by Adam Babcock, a farmer living near by, and when he appeared the wolf took to the fields and made its way to the patch of woodland. The alarm was given and a number of farmers armed with rifles and shotguns, surrounding the wood, succeeded in beating up the wolf and killing it. SUES FOR 50 CENTS. Colonel Baylor Names Three. Railroad Companies as Defendants. Atlanta, Ga.-Colonel Henry Bedinger Baylor, Virginian by birth, Georgian by adoption and lord of San Souci castle, Bedford place, Atlanta, filed suit for 50 cents in the city court recently. Colonel Baylor is the man who offered his sword to France some time ago and got a letter from President Poincare's secretary thanking him. His suit for 50 cents names as defendants the Georgia railroad, the Atlantic Coast Line Railway company and the Tidewater Power company. Colonel Baylor charges that the half dollar is due him for excess charges on baggage checked from Atlanta to Wrightsville Beach, N.C., July 17, 1918. Huge Electrical Device Provides For Unique Paging System In New York. New York-New York has developed a unique "paging" system, which goes the hotel system several to the good. Now, at night in Manhattan, when they want to locate any one it may be an important business matter—the flash the call on the "Newspaper In the Sky," the huge electrical device loc. high up in the air at the apex of Times square, the most populous section of New York. It was inaugurated when President Frank P. Spellman of the United States Circus Corporation was wanted on a particular business matter. He was somewhere along Broadway, it was believed. The projectors of the "Newspaper In the Sky" were appealed to, and in a few moments the message, "Frank P. Spellman, call Bryant 623," was flashed. It had the desired result. Within five minutes President Spellman responded. He was walking along Broadway and read the call in words of electricity. It is probably the first time in the world that such a plan has been resorted to, and now that its inception resulted so favorably, no doubt it will become popular and a regular adjunct of New York's business life after dark. CAT CATCHES FISH. Drags Them From Water to the Shore and Then Eats Them. Hancock, Md.-Not content with the ordinary yarns that are spun by anglers, somebody is telling a tale about a cat that goes fishing. As everybody knows, the ordinary cat fears water as much as a tramp despises it; but, according to the Hancock man, the cat of which he talks and writes wades into the adjacent creek, adopts a policy of watchful waiting for fish to come its way, and when this happens it grabs the member of the funny family, lugs it ashore and then proceeds to eat it. A more imaginative narrator of fish stories would have embellished the foregoing yarn with additional details as to how after getting its prey to the shore the cat hunted up some brush and wood, made a fire and cooked the fish before eating it, but the Hancock man wisely refrences from putting such a strain upon credulity. $100,000 AWAITS LOST ONE. Search Is Now Being Made For Brother of Doad Merchant. Denver.—There's a dark man somewhere in Colorado who can have a bundle of money if he'll just speak up. He's short and stout, and fourteen years ago, when last heard from, he had black hair, and if he makes his identity known he can collect $100,000. That is the amount which awaits Lewis C. Dodge as a result of the death of his brother, Charles II. Dodge, well to do merchant of Providence, R. I. The search for Lewis Dodge is being made by John E. Canfield of Greeley, Colo., nephew of Charles Dodge's partner. Lewis Dodge came to the Canfield ranch thirty years ago. Until 1902 he corresponded regularly with his eastern relatives. Then his letters ceased after he left the Canfield employ and wandered away. TRAMP PROVES A WOMAN. After an Arrest One Was Shown to Be the Other's Wife. Thomasville, Ga. — Investigation of two supposed holoops who had been arrested and placed in the barracks here revealed that one of the pair belonged to the gentler sex. Upon being arrested the pair gave their names as Mat Smith and Bill Seeney, but when Bill was found to be a woman they confessed to being Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Bessent of Jacksonville, Fla. They said they were on their way to Milwaukee, Wis., and as they did not have funds sufficient to pay their war there they decided to trump it, the wife being unwilling to be separated from her husband. She felt that she could make the trip, better and easier in the guise of a man. WHEN FLIRTATION PAYS. Lean From Train, Break Your Arm and Get Cash. Philadelphia. Even if a railroad fireman leans out of the cab of his locomotive to dirt with a red haired woman and gets a broken arm he is entitled to compensation under the law, so W. B. Scott, a state compensation board referee, decided in awarding $2.340 to Carl Schneider of this city. Schneider was hurt several weeks ago near Camp Hill station on the Reading railway, presumably by being struck by a locomotive going in the opposite direction. James B. Hass, engineer of the other train, testified that he saw a "red haired woman" flirting with some one on Schneider's train. TRIED TO EAT A BEDSPRING Hospital Patient, Recovering From Delirium, Prefers a Steak. Chicago.—"I want a nice, big steak: no more bedsprings for me," said John Peterson. At the Dunning hospital he had torn a bedspring from his cot and tried to swallow it. He was delirious at the time. Three surgeons extracted the spring, which had lodged in the esophagus. "Drive me to a restaurant where I can get that steak," he commanded to the driver. "If I was able to eat a bedspring I ought to be able to get away with a steak by this time." WICKED WEAPONS. Terrible Knives Wielded by the Natives of Hindustan. The weapon common to every part of Hindustan, so as to deserve the name of the national arm, is the "katar." This is a broad, two edged dagger, the hilt of which is formed something like an H, the hand grasping the crossbar, which is generally double, while the side bars extend on each side of the wrist. of the wrist. Some katars are made with five blades which unite into one, but by squeezing together the crosses the blades diverge like, the fingers of a hand when the thrust has been given. Other katars are made in sets of two or even three, of diminishing sizes, the blades of the larger being hollow and forming sheaths for the smaller. Some of the southern Indian kattars, known as "death givers," are immense weapons, nearly two feet long in the blade, and the hilts are a mass of fantastic scrollwork and mythological monsters, the cobra with expanded hoof figurating largely. There are also the "bich'hwa," or scorpion's sting, a doubly curved dagger; the "khan'an," a larger form of the same, and the "peshkabz," or hunting knife. But none of these elaborate weapons has about it the terribly "businesslike" look of the Khyber knife ("chhura"), with its ponderous slugie edged, tapering blade and plain ivory hilt.—Chambers' Journal. RACE SOLIDARITY. Chas. M. Thomas, LL.B, Minor Normal School. 1. BLOOD RELATIONSHIP. I would that I might take up the insight into the intricacies of creation of offspring, which modern biological investigation is, gradually acquiring. Suffice it to say, that the human ovum contains microscopic elements sufficiently numerous to carry all man's physical structures from remote generations, and that the ovaries of each normal female contains at her birth 32,000 ovules. Not only are all men literally brothers, when we consider the teeming millions who have lived and died in the lines of our ancestry on this relatively small sphere, but in those people who are shut off from interrelations with other races, for any considerable period of time, the dominance of certain selected physical structures become so pronounced as to be modified and overthrown, later, only with much interbreeding with dissimilar peoples, carried over a long period of time. Dr. W. E. Chancellor and H. K. Pearson (of Oxford) have shown that among the so-called white races the sceptre of procreation is passing rapidly from the colonizing races, who must interbreed as they migrate, and is now in the hands of the low, broad-headed Slavic types, whose fecundity is as pronounced as their civilization is different and localized. In Europe today, the problem is not a race problem of a dark race and a fair race, on a resourceful soil, in a not too thickly populated region, as in America, but it is the problem of subsistence, an economic problem among fair races themselves, of varying degrees of fecundity, and an exhausted region of relatively dense population. In fact, we are witnessing a tribal warfare, between white, people, similar in operation to the tribal warfare in Africa, occurring for centuries, between those who spent their surplus from reproduction in physical combat with those who had accumulated ivory, cattle, and grain in an agricultural civilization, at the expense of physical surplus but with a gain in spiritual Wherever you find men, there you find them distributed through time and space in nomadic, or pastoral, or agrarian, or agricultural, or industrial, or economic phases of civilization, with the laws, customs, and habits of those civilizations of their transitions. And wherever you find different or transition states of those civilizations in contact, or separated by geographic or language barriers; there you find conflicts and wars, first of the customs, then of the civilizations themselves. Sometimes one, then again another, of the factors herein mentioned preserve one civilization and destroy another or modify both; only to repeat the conflict, a later time in another or in the same place. It is no mere chance that sees the wars of Europe recurring on the same battlefields among descendants of the same peoples. History does not repeat itself, for history is a record of what has been and can, therefore, not be again, but human nature alters slowly, if at all, and similar circumstances produce similar results under similar conditions. Today, in the United States, and in British South Africa, segregation is legislative political conflict of different racial types, customs, and mores, just as lynching, murder, and incineration are brutal atistic conflicts of those same racial types in their undeveloped and primitive forms. Breed a race and it hates, combines, and fights against others; civilize it and it oppresses others; educate it and it exploits them; Christianize it and it and it, civilizes and educates the subdominant people; humanize it, by ideas and interest, through laws and institutions, and it cooperates with the weakest and elevates the lowest, for it recognizes the solidarity of mankind in opposition to relentless nature; and it understands the intrinsic value of the golden rule and the fundamental verities of the Sermon on the Mount. "The struggle of civilized man against uncivilized man and against nature, produces a certain partial solidarity of humanity, which involves a prohibition against any individual group or community wasting the resources of mankind." The Grammar of Science, by Karl Pearson. The mother, minister, merchant, physician, lawyer, artisan, educator, teacher—all are society's agents today for a newer society tomorrow.

Like the Hebrews, who were marked by physical peculiarities which revealed their common ancestry, so the Negro is marked by numerous physical peculiarities in contrast with the fairer peopoples of the world. Indeed, so fixed are these physical peculiarities that a minute trace of Negro ancestry is discernible to the expert in, hundreds of thousands of those who deem themselves fair; and who, to all intents and purposes, consciously and unconsciously, identify with the fairer races and enjoy all their privileges and immunities. What we must say now is, "There are 10,000,000 identifiable colored people in the United States"—not 10,000,000 Negroes. No-one can or will know how many Negroes there are. A conservative estimate of 25,000,000 would probably fall short of the actual number of those who have a discernible trace of African ancestry. An incident force falling on dissimilar elements separates them, and African blood or African ancestry is such an incident force when mixed with the composite inheritance of European white ancestry of many stocks; hence the persistence of African physical peculiarities and the slow progress in brightening up, despite the interbreeding which always results from racial contact. The next factor in race solidarity is the effect of environment. In an epoch-making book recently issued—"Climate and Creation" by Hunt ingdon, the Geographer of Yale University, he has produced what is destined to become a new Origin of Species. Surely the agnostic and the free-thinker today must acknowledge the operation of a superior intelligence behind the transfer of the African from Africa to a soil, climate, and aspect of nature but slightly different from his ancestral land, and the existence in that new region at the time of that transfer of a need and a call for just the type of crude and untrained reaction with physical enurance such as the African newcomer could contribute. The late Professor Goldwin Smith, of Canada, declared that the importation of the African into America was a calamity as well as a fragrant crime, and I challenged him to prove he is wiser than the Creator by demonstrating that earlier redistributions of men in space and time had not been at one time similarly regarded. Professor Huntingdon shows both conclusively and suggestively, anent the problem of Negro migration from the south, that the removal of a people indigenous to a warm and enervating climate, into a cooler one, or a higher altitude, releases pent-up energy and spells achievement. The erection of the Egyptian pyramids, by a people whose monuments show them in all possible reclining attitudes, is now to be accounted for in the release of pent-up power of African slaves from the interior, when brought nearer to the coast. So the Hebrews carried into the lassitude and accompanying oppression of Egypt, energy and restlessness, which ended in their migration. The migration of the Negro northward in the summer of 1916 is not the first such response of a down-trodden people to its oppressors. Again has Pharoah been told to "Let my people go," and they cross to the promised land of freedom and opportunity, in the north, over a sea, this time red with the blood of countless thousands of Europe's men, women, and children.

Coming to America before the conflict of pastoral, agricultural, industrial civilizations in this country with their ideas, customs, and laws the Negro was privileged to participate in their development and in the conflict. From that conflict in 1865 he emerged but little more dazed than were its principals, and he has been slowly adjusting himself to the transition. Today he can make most of the reactions though not comprehending the ideas underlying the movements. His accumulation has been physical, not psychical; hence his great resistance and his retarded literacy. Indeed, it accounts for his frequent misuse of literacy and points to the wisdom of a general education in which words and ideas accompany acts, performances, and labor, rather than a system which is largely symbolic. Literacy is essential to social integration, and the providential instruction in the language of the Bible, dealing as it does with parables from pastoral agrarian life of an oppressed but selected people has proven another means of both unifying the Negroes as a race and emancipating them into the freedom of human social intercourse.

The white man's idea of leadership is to appoint a cringing colored man to office; one that is willing to play the messenger and the lackey and generally, administrations with but a few exceptions, honor the apologists and the take off his hat colored gentleman. Whenever certain colored man can be used to the defriment of their race they are generally given front seats, whether they represent the more manly colored citizen or not. Du Bois' leadership is the kind of leadership that will commend every colored American, with any sense, to the favorable consideration of all manly and patriotic nations. The Roosevelt and Taft administrations, with but one or two exceptions, had some of the weakest individuals that ever existed. They held their offices and drew their salaries and to a great extent they attempted to make rules and regulations for the government of society. There was but one man in their entire bunch that could lay any kind of claim to Negro leadership and he was Ralph W. Tyler of Ohio. Of course, The Bee has no reference to men outside of this city, because there are some honorable and progressive men among colored Americans. What do we have now right in this city? A number of colored republicans whose candidates were defeated at the polls by the American people, attempting to repudiate colored democrats in making arrangements for the inauguration of a democratic president and vice president whom they aided in electing. If their ever was a piece of presumption, impudence and nerve on the part of these men, The Bee must pause to reflect. One self constituted individual, who declared for the democratic party four years ago and subsequently filed his application for steward at the White House, left the regular body after he found out that he could not be chairman and treasurer. The committee of which James H. Howard is chairman and Thomas W. Swann, secretary, is the regular committee in the estimation of the people. Mr. Howard is deputy. United States marshal, who has been a supporter of the democratic party for years Thomas W. Swann, the brain of the Negro democracy, and the man who wrote the colored democratic text book. He is not one of these twenty-five dollar democrats and neither is he a candidate for office and neither did he ever denounce the President be cause his friends failed to secure an office. It would be in good taste if these colored republicans stepped aside and allowed the colored democrats and such colored republicans whom they would select, to arrange for the reception of colored visitors. Had Mr. Hughes and Mr. Fairbanks been elected would any colored democrats assumed the authority to arrange for the reception of colored visitors? Not much; if one had been invited; it would have been a surprise; because the so-called colored republican advisory committee in New York attempted to repudiate colored republican journals because these journals commended the good acts of certain democratic Senators and Congressmen, and who had defended the Negro and urged an appropriation for only national institutions in the United States. Since that is a fact, what show would a colored democrat have, had a republican President been elected? However, the Howard committee is paying its own expenses and is asking no favors from the general inaugural committee; nor is asking for funds. BISHOP ALEXANDER WALTERS Death has called to his reward Bishop Alexander Walters, one of the most honest and patriotic colored Americans in the United States. Bishop Walters saw fit to cast his political destiny with a party and a man in whom he had the most implicit confidence. If he was mistaken, there was no mercenary motives behind it. He did not realize the ambition of his life. He believed in President Wilson and the democratic party. Bishop Walters assured his people that the cause and the party that he advocated would result in a new revolution in the American body politic. He had every assurance that, the faith would be the crowning glory of his political ambitions. He was disappointed. His people called him a traitor. He was denounced by those whose cause he had espoused. He was neither a traitor nor a coward. Those who denounced him were republicans in whose interest he had gone to the seven civil departments. He was convinced that he could not land colored men in places who had allied themselves with the democratic party, so he made every effort to have colored republicans retained in office. He was kind and generous. He had great confidence in the President. He believed that he would keep the promises he made to him before and after his election. Bishop Walters was popular among his associates and the connection to which he was attached. Let Zion erect a monument to his memory. He was no apologist, no coward, but a man and let his memory be marked Bishop Alexander Walters, the Just. BREAKING THEIR NECKS. Just why colored republicans, office holders and quasi colored democrats are breaking their necks by falling over each other to take charge of the colored end in making arrangements to receive colored visitors who are coming to the inauguration of President Wilson and Vice President Marshall, the Bee is at a loss to know. A Negro republican editor of a local paper in town who was so rampant in supporting the republican nominee, seemed to have forgotten his former masthead. He sees nothing now but democratic success. He has gone so far as to invite real colored democrats to confer with him on this inauguration propaganda. What do you think of his nerve and gigantic impudence? Well, the real colored democrats are defraying their own expenses and don't intend to ask Chairman Harper and his democratic committee for a cent. This looks like real business and genuine sincerity on the part of the colored democrats. They are not holding out their hands for a shake down from Chairman Harper's committee, and neither do they intend to ask him or his committee for a penny. Now, if the quasi colored democrats and certain republican office holders are really in earnest let them contribute out of their own pockets sufficient money to defray their expenses. It doesn't require very much money to meet the necessary expenses. The Oldest Inhabitants' Association will give the real function in conjunction with the regular inaugural committee PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS (By the Sage of the. Potomac.) The same hide and go seek continues to exist in the educational hypogramme. The teachers are still on the anxious seat, not knowing on which direction to go. If the president of the board of education would strike higher up he would get at root of all the evil. There is a secret clique in our colored schools which ought to be broken, but who is to start it? If you place before the school authorities facts, they are passed unnoticed except where things are so glaring that action becomes necessary. The president of the board of education means to do what right and the Sage is of the opinion that change in the head of the colored schools has convinced him of its necessity. in the classrooms. The charges made by Mrs? Thompson continue to sleep in the secret archives of the schools. Anderson's of defence was not one third as serious as the charges made by Mrs. Thompson, yet they continue to sleep. I am in. favor of either having a colored superintendent of schools who is acceptable to the people, or none at all. In no other city would the people tolerate existing conditions. Speaking about schools, when my good friend, Ralph W. Tyler, was secretary of state in the colored cabinet he never missed an opportunity to help the colored schools and all colored office holders. He was the first man to be knifed by his so-called friends before and after the abolition of the colored cabinet. He was the only genuine individual that amounted to a sweet apple or imported grapes. What it cost to make life happy, Ralph Tyler, had it and would issue it out to all irrespective of color or condition. He was about the only decent and many individual in this colored conglomeration. All it thought of was individual interest. Two went into bankruptcy at the expiration of the Taft administration. When the democratic administration was ushered in there was a scramble for retention. Colored democrats sold high. Colored republicans had no time to be introduced to Bishop Alexander Walters; they stumbled over one another to get to his banquet. One individual who was chief door keeper at Senator Week's headquarters in Chicago last summer was chief cook and bottle washer at the Walters' reception. He dictated seats and directed where the colored democratic guests should go. O! but when the stump came or before the colored cabinet held sway in New York at the republican headquarters. Simon pure republicans were barred. Our good friend, Charles W. Anderson, C. J. Picket, Tom Fortune and Ralph E. Langston, were the only bunch that had decency enough to give merit a fair deal. It was closed corporation. So certain was this colored conglomeration that the republicans would win, all the offices had been pulled out and meritorious publicans didn't have a peep. White republican editors could sell space to democratic candidates, but colored editors had to support republican candidates from "cover to cover." But just wait. When it was announced that Woody lost colored democrats were almost mobbed. But when the tide turned, these same satellites demanded to be put ahead of those faithful colored democratic allies in the coming inauguration of the man they helped to elect. Well if Jim Howard and Thos. W. Swann permit it, they are bigger fools than I take them to be: Poor Bishop Walters is no more. He was importuned by certain members of the colored cabinet to help them and the first to be condemned when they thought the democratic administration was put of commission. He was a good man, willing and ready always to help those of his race, regardless of their politics. The time will come when colored Americans will be convinced that they must disregard parties and support men. The south some day will forget meanness and come to the support of the colored allies. The children of the ex-slaves will some day be respected; the folly of the south will be a thing of the past. From present indications there are to be two changes on the school board next June and a change in the head of the schools. There will be shake up somewhere. The people are tired of hearing the appeals of teachers for help. There continues to be an unrest in the colored schools which should be eliminated. Just the next two or three members will be the Sage is at liberty to state. He will say this much a professor of education ability will be one of the new members of the board. My Cook will be succeeded by another colored woman of ability change will come and there will be peace and happiness in the schools. I want it to be known that a change of administration will mean a change in other things. MR. ROBERT W. HARRIS DEAD. The funeral of Mr. Robert Harris, son of the late Robert H.

Holmes, the greatest entertainer south of New York. As usual the men were evening dress, while the "gowns" of the ladies could not be excelled.

PERILS OF THE AIR Lost Army Flyers. Found South of Mexican Border. Two Sandwiches and Two Oranges All They Had In Ten Days—Propeller of Airplane Broken When They Made Landing—Got Water From Radiator of Craft. Wellton, Arlz—Exhausted and half famished from wandering four days without food or water, Lieutenant Colonel Harry G. Bishop and Lieutenant W. A. Robertson, the lost army aviators, were found thirty-two miles south of the Mexican border by civilian searchers. They were brought back here. Since the two men left the aviation base at San Diego ten days before on their flight two sandwiches and two oranges were all the food they had. The only water was from the radiator of their airplane. Robertson was found following the tracks of the searchers' auto. He directed the members of the party to Bishop, who had become too exhausted to go on when they reached the Rosario mountains, thirty miles farther south. Bishop was found lying on the ground in a mountain pass, unable to talk. Robertson didn't know exactly where they landed, but thought it about 250 miles south of the Arizona border. The searchers were the first persons they had seen since landing. The propeller of their airplane was broken, Robertson said, when they made a landing. Enough gasoline for thirty minutes' flight remained in the tank. Lieutenant Robertson said: "We left San Diego intending to go across the mountains east to Calexico. Insufficient maps made it necessary to rely largely on compass readings. We figured on a course to reach the Imperial valley about fifty miles above Calexico and far above the Mexican border. "In order to cross the high mountains it was necessary to travel high, averaging more than 7,000 feet. From this altitude it was impossible to detect a very strong north wind which I encountered in the mountains. "We kept a northwest course, traveling by night and day. Our water gave out after four days. By that time Colonel Bishop was so weak our progress was slow. We agreed it would be wise to separate when he could travel no farther, I to continue on and send back aid if possible." GIRL SHOWS HER PLUCK. Handicapped by Coat, She Saves Two From Drowning. Sheboygan, Wis. — Virginia Fessler, aged fifteen, daughter of Bernard Fessler of Sheboygan, was unable to unfasten her heavy coat and cape in her anxiety when her brother Jacob, aged six, and Cecilia Melger, seven, broke through the ice in the Sheboygan river above the cofferdam at Sheboygan falls, so she broke through the thin ice and swam in her heavy clothes to the middle of the river and rescued her brother as he sank for the third time, came back to shore, then returned and saved Cecilia. The children were throwing sticks on the ice for a pet dog to bring back. One went to the open channel, and the dog fell into eight feet of water. The children went out to rescue the dog and broke through. Virginia learned to swim last summer. She wore gloves and could not unfasten her cloak as she ran out on the ice, but broke through; and with her fist broke a channel to rescue her brother and his companion. REMEMBERS LOW PRICES. Man Would Not Sell His Eggs For 3 Cents a Dozen. Macon, Mo.—"People who complain of paying 5 cents a piece for eggs think they are in hard luck," remarked J. H. Wright, one of the county's pioneers, "but I can tell you we thought times were a good deal worse in the fifties, when eggs were selling at 3 cents a dozen," he said. "I remember one day of taking a basket of the nicest eggs ever laid to old Bloomington and offering them to the merchant there. When he told me he could get all the eggs he wanted for 3 cents a dozen and wouldn't pay any more. I took mine back home. "Those were what you call real hard times, as far as money was concerned. People raised lots more stuff on the farm, but couldn't get anything for it because there was no way to get it to market." GIRLS PROVE BEST SPELLERS Winners Get Silver Medals In State Wide Contest. Albany.—Schoolgirls are better spellers than boys, the results of the state wide spelling bee conducted by the state education and agricultural departments indicate. Of the winners of these contests in up state counties more than 70 per cent are girls. The contests were held simultaneously in 10,500 schools and the results checked up in the presence of official referees. The winners were to be rewarded with a trip to the state fair last September, but the prevalence of infantile paralysis deprived them of that pleasure. Instead Dr. John H. Finley and Charles S. Wilson sent each winner a certificate of prodency and a silver medal bearing the seal of the state of New York. TRAMPS ARE HIT HARD BY PROSPERITY WAVE South Jersey Housewives Less Sympathetic Than In Former Years. Glassboro, N. J.-High cost of living and high wages have combined to strike a stunning blow to the tramp fraternity in all parts of south Jersey, and police officials report that the panhandlers are much scarcer than usual this winter. The general prosperity all over the country is said by the authorities to have been most effective in thinning the ranks of the nomads and in keeping the county jails and town free from the usual crowd of "winter boarders." In past winters it has happened frequently that the small towns in this region have been overrun with the vagrants, who have camped out in the woods and along the railroad lines until severe weather drove them into town to seek shelter in the lockups. There is still a part of this itinerant class which applies to the police for shelter in the jail cells overnight, but few of them linger longer than a day or two, being headed, the police say, toward the munition plants along the river front and to other industrial centers in search of odd jobs. ters in search of our lives. Food is so high and jobs so plentiful that the housewives are less sympathetic than has been their habit in past years. POLICEMAN TAKEN ILL, WIFE TOURS HIS BEAT POLICEMAN TAKEN ILL, WIFE TOURS HIS BEAT In Husband's Uniform Frees Captive Who Made Plea His Family Was Starving. Trenton, N. J.-In all the length of Bloomingdale, N. J., from the Susquehanna, railroad crossing to the bridge that spans the turbulent Pequannock river, there is no more martial figure than Patrolman Foster Hargraves. No one appears to better advantage in the brass buttons and blue of the force-except perhaps Mrs. Hargraves. except police officers. In all the above described limits of the town no one holds the honor of the police department more highly than Patrolman Foster Hargraves—except perhaps Mrs. Hargraves. perhaps. One night recently her husband, who works as the village's law guardian from 4 in the afternoon until midnight, was seized with a hard chill at 0 o'clock. He stuck it out as long as he could and then appeared at his home, teeth chattering and face hot with fear. Mrs. Hargraves put him to bed. When he had fallen asleep she took his uniform and slipped into her room. A few minutes later another policeman stepped out of the Hargraves home and tramped away through the sleet storm. storm. Mrs. Hargraves walked her husband's beat until midnight. More than that, she arrested a suspicious character—a man whom she had seen slinking away along the railroad track. ing awfully much. "But he said that he had a starving wife and children in New York," she explained naively, "so I let him go." CRADLE OF AZTEC RACE. Prhistoric Settlements In-New Mexico Reveal Pictures of Extinct Animals. Tucson, Ariz.-Relics of huge settlements of a prehistoric race of highly civilized Indians who built great dams and irrigated desert land in the southwestern corner of New Mexico have been found by Ranger Don S. Sullivan, who reported his discovery to the forestry headquarters here. His report has been forwarded to the American Archaeological association. Picture writing which showed the dinosaur and the four toed horse was found on a crude paper made of reeds and on walls of caves. Ranger Sullyan reported that he believed the settlements were the original dwellings of the Δætec race. JOBS FOR HUNCHBACKS. Normal Men Too Strong, Can't Use Girls, Says Chicago Firm. Chicago. In the help wanted columns was the ad., "Three hunchbacks wanted; easy work; steady and profitable if competent." Inquiry developed that the cripples were wanted to operate machines in an envelope factory, where delicacy of touch is required. Said one of the firm seeking men: "Girls have been operating these machines. Now we must operate night as well as day and cannot employ women for the night work. A normal man is too strong and is apt to be too clumsy. A hunchback is, generally a delicate worker." FIVE CENTS FOR LUNCHES, HE FLED TO TRENCHES New York.—Five cents for his midday meal, 10 cents for church and a cent for charity, was the allowance which Leon Scradynski of New York said his wife gave him during the years they were saving to buy a home. He sued for an accounting of money left with her when he went to fight for Russia. The jury found in the wife's favor. 10 TRAIN 50,000 Dates and Locations of Military Camps Announced. In Addition to Camps in Eastern and Central Departments There Will Be Organizations In South and West. Junior Divisions at Fort Terry, N. Y., and Portland, Me.

"The war department," the notice issued reads, "is preparing to take care of 50,000 or more men for the 1917 training camps, and the association expects to continue its work on a still larger scale than heretofore and provide at least that number of men. Details of camps and enrollment blanks will be mailed to those desiring them as soon as the government prepares them. "The only way this large number of men can be obtained will be through the active, hearty help and active cooperation of each and every training camp man. We feel that there is a peculiar duty resting upon all, training camp men to do what they can, each according to his individual power and means, to further this work. The training camps have received the unqualified indorsement not only of the men themselves who have attended them, but of the war department and of the country at large." SHOWS HOW STOMACH ACTS Professor Demonstrates Reflex Movement With Movies. Baltimore.—Before a clinic of nearly 500 students of the medical department of the University of Maryland, Dr. Louis Gregory Cole of Cornell university gave a remarkable lecture on the working of the human stomach. The lecture was illustrated by moving pictures, which showed the actual reflex movement of the stomach. Professor Cole is the first man to have successfully radiographed the pyloric reflex and peristalsis, and the pictures were interesting in the extreme. During the lecture Dr. Cole gave credit to Professor John C. Hemmeter of the University of Maryland as the pioneer discoverer of the use of X rays as a means of diagnosing and recognizing abnormal states of the heart and stomach. Dr. Hemmeter was the first to learn that the X ray could be used to recognize ulcer of the stomach.

Farmer, Gets It From Side of House Where Boes Put It. Junction City, Kan.—When Dick Goggin, a farmer residing east of this city, wants a little honey for his morning buckwheat cakes he steps out of the front door of his home, pries a board from the side of the house and extracts the amount he desires. Several years ago a swarm of bees selected the air space under the weather boarding for a home, entering through a small knothole. Other swarms followed and now supply more than enough honey for the family's demands. FINDS RING IN TOBACCO. Rancher Will Return It to Kentucky Girl Who Lost It.

Detroit Man Proves Puzzle to Physicians After Partial Asphyxiation In Auto—Sweetheart, In Same Hospital, Is Wheeled Into His Ward, and Eyes Brighten For First Time. Detroit, Mich.—A sweetheart's smile won where science failed. The smile lured back a wandering mind that all the little bottles, all the gleaming instruments and all the solemn books had failed to cure. The case of Arthur Connor, twenty-eight years old, puzzled physicians for days after he was taken to Grace hospital suffering from a form of gas asphyxiation induced by inhaling gasoline fumes from his automobile. He slept for hours, a calm, deep sleep, with normal pulse and respiration, but a sleep that could not be driven out. When it did lift its veil for a few minutes at a time it was found his mind had somehow slipped in its delicate mechanism, and Connor muttered and chattered of things foreign and unconnected with reason. They dug in his spine and brewed serum, and they tapped with inquisitive fingers and touched the nerves with the wizard flow of electricity and the veins with the gleaming hypodermic. In vain all these things—and then came the cure, a greeting smile and a cheery "Good morning" from the girl he is to marry. Nellie Winters, dark haired and brown eyed, sought her fiance, knowing something had happened to prevent the filling of an engagement. She found him after a long search lying in his car in the garage, asleep. He had sat down to rest, and the fumes had overcome him and started the long slumber. But the hunt through the cold day had wrought another misfortune, and Miss Winters found herself threatened by pneumonia in the same hospital with Connor. She grew better, and once able to sit in a wheel chair, she demanded to be taken to the side of her sweetheart. They wheeled her in just as one of the moments of his consciousness came. And the eyes that had been filled with vague dreamings suddenly cleared, and the girl's smile and glad greeting found an answer. "Hello, Nellie! Gee, it's too bad we are both sick in the same place." It was almost the first rational words he had uttered. The vell fell again, but the doctors had found a key to the mystic door and hope, for a complete recovery. BECOMES A MOTHER AT 62. Woman Wedded to Young Man Has a Baby In Her Old Age. Milwaukee, Wis.—"Fifty-eight years years old? My dear boy, they said that about me four years ago when I went to Kenosha, with Albert to be married where our friends could not make too much of a hubbub about a disparity in our ages. They said then that he was twenty-five and I was fifty-eight. What of it? Love knows no years." Thus spoke Mrs. Balone Manzke, a mother at sixty-two or thereabouts, as she fondled the baby girl which some time ago came to their home in Milwaukee to gladden the declining years of the mother and to rejoice the heart of the youthful husband. And it was a real motherhood that Mrs. Manzke portrayed as she played with her own baby, a mother with her hair showing the advance of years in its suggestion of gray Four years ago the couple went from Zion City to Kenosha to be married. The husband is an expert chemist in a Milwaukee laboratory which specializes on perfumery. JERSEY TEACHER A HEROINE Prevents Panic Among 150 Children; Fights, Fire In School. Paterson, N. J.—Miss Bertba Ruth; a teacher in public school annex No. 4, in the basement of St. Stanislaus' Polish Catholic church, Garfield, by cool action prevented a 'panic among the 150 children and also saved the church from destruction by fire when Stephen Westcombe mischievously dropped a match into a hole in one of the partitions. When smoke issued from the opening there was a stir and the pupils in Miss Ruth's class moved unceasily. "Be calm, children," said Miss Ruth without the slightest touch of emotion, "and file quietly into the yard." Her command was obeyed, and the children quickly left the room. Then Miss Ruth notified the teachers in the other classes to dismiss the pupils. The children thought it was a fire drill and moved out in order, the whole annex being emptied in half a minute. BOMB BY MAIL BLINDS YOUTH. Plainfield Youth Thought Can Was Powder From Friend. Plainfield. Coun.-Joseph Emil Sevigny, a young Frenchman who lives here, received a can of powder through the mail. After shaving he started to shake some of it out, thinking it was talcum. It wasn't. It was an infernal device, which exploded, lacerating his face and blinding both eyes... Sevigny knows of no one who would wish to kill him, he says. Investigation by the police showed powerful explosives, steel fragments and coarse paper were in the can. The package was postmarked Taftville. TIED DUCK WITH CRAVAT. Left Diamond Stud on It, and That May Account For Turkey. Find. Cuero, Tex.—What Thomas Lovett of this county believes to be the previous history of the recent story from Chicago telling of a diamond stud valued at $150 found in the craw of a Thanksgiving turkey had its inception in a duck hunt here. According to Lovett's story, while hunting two years ago, he slightly wounded a duck and decided to carry the bird home. He used his necktie to bind the bird's feet, neglecting to remove a diamond stud fastened therein. Placing the supposedly helpless bird in the rear of his conveyance, he started home, when a flutter a few minutes later attracted his attention. He turned in time to see the duck flying off with his necktie dangling from its feet. Cuero is in the center of a large turkey raising portion of Texas, and many of the birds, which roam over a large range, find their way to the Chicago market. Mr. Lovett so far has entered no claim to the stud. "GLAZE," NEW WEATHER WORD Old Fashioned "Sleet" Will Be Out of Style This Winter. Washington. — The old fashioned "sleet" is going out of style this winter before the newer "ice storm" and "glaze," weather bureau officials reported in their campaign for more accurate terminology for various kinds of frozen rain. Sleet is officially described as small globules of rain frozen before striking the earth. When rain freezes after falling and forms a glassy coating on the ground, trees and wires the condition is called a glaze, and when this is seeyere and accompanied by wind, it is reported as an ice storm. The weather bureau hopes to eliminate what it considers improper use of the word "sleet," as it has caused substitution of the term "tornado" for "cyclone" when a violent storm of small diameter is meant. TATTOOS HIS DAY OLD BABE. Convicted German Military Attache Takes No Chances. San Francisco.—His coat of arms sketched in indelible ink on the wrist of his baby daughter gives assurance to Lieutenant G. W. von Brincken, military attache of the German consulate here, that his young wife will carry away no other couple's child when she leaves the hospital where their first- born came into the world. In a panic at the sight of numerous other infants in the hospital nursery Von Brincken, lately convicted of com- plexity in the munitions plots involving the German consulate, catechized the nurses on their methods of identification. Not satisfied with their system, he called for ink and pen. WOMAN OF 82 ELOPES. Her Daughter Seeks to Be Appointed Guardian of Her Estate.

WOMEN'S CLOTHES IN LEAD. Head In. Value All Manufactures in New York State. Albany, N. Y.—A special report from the United States census bureau shows that the chief manufacture in New York state is the production of women's clothing, goods, of that kind to the value of $345,310,000 having been turned out in 1914. Printing and publishing came next, with an output of $257,260,000. Next was men's clothing, $230,627,000. Other productions were foundry and machine shop products, $175,450,000; slaughtering and meat packing, $148,100,000; bread and other bakery products, $109,228,000.

Pa.—Michael Kamar, aged twenty-nine, who received $1,000 compensation because of the loss of an eye while at work in a Pittsburgh steel mill, is now bemoaning his desire to celebrate because of his newly acquired wealth. When Michael got his money he immediately arranged for a trip to New York, with a stop at Ashtabula as a side issue. He started one day at noon, an hour after he had the compensation check cashed, and in less than a half hour was minus his thousand. He continued his journey to Ashtabula, but returned home and said he would get a job. Buried Twenty Minutes and Lives. Lawrence, Kan.-After being completely buried at the bottom of an eighteen foot ditch for twenty minutes, Wayne Richardson, a laborer from Clay Center, who was working on the construction work in the draining district of North Lawrence, was rescued alive without apparent injury one day recently. "GOLDEN CALF" HAS COST $10,000 IN LITIGATION. Rival Claimants to Animal Engage In Bitter Legal Warfare. Denver.—A "golden calf" will be on exhibition at the western national live stock show in this city. It is a perfect specimen of the Hereford breed. The calf has a reasonable market value of about $25 at present, but it already has cost more than $10,000 in litigation, and the end is not yet in sight. The calf has come to be known as the "golden calf" throughout Pitkin and Garfield counties, where the rival claimants to the animal live. Born in the spring of 1014, the question of the calf's motherhood arose. Nobody attempted to guess the identity of the immediate paternal ancestor. The decreted case known as Brunton versus Stapleton has puzzled four juries without a solution of the mystery. Brunton claims the calf is the daughter of one of his prize Herefordes, while Stapleton claims the calf is just a scrub, the daughter of a bobtailled red cow that he raised on his ranch. In November, 1914, Brunton went to Stapleton's ranch and took away three calves that were with one of his cows. One of the calves was the "golden calf." The next day Stapleton went to Brunton's ranch and took the "golden calf" back again. Demand for its return was refused, and then Brunton started the replevin suit. Both claims say they will take the case to the supreme court. CHINESE REVOLUTIONARY HERO'S MEMORY HONORED Scrolls Sent by Three of Late Yuan Shih Kai's Sons to Commemorate Patriotism. Shanghai.—Scrolls sent by three of the late Yuan Shih Kai's sons to commemorate the patriotism of General Tsai Ao were the most unusual feature of the funeral services for the revolutionary leader conducted here on the arrival of his body from Japan. General Tsai Ao, was the chief mover in the Yunnan revolution, which defeated Yuan Shih Kai's ambition to become emperor. Yuan Ko Ting, the oldest son of Yuan Shih Kai, was especially ambitious for his father to become emperor that he might succeed to the throne. But practically all the younger sons were opposed to the monarchical movement. The scroll sent to Shanghai by Yuan Ko Wen, the second son of Yuan Shih Kai, commends the lamented General Tsai Ao in the highest terms. It says: You were the soul or the republic. You were the spirit of liberty. The American navy took a prominent part in the Tsai Ao funeral services. The Brooklyn and the other American warships in Shanghai harbor had their flags at half staff as the Chinese warship bearing the body came into port, and a detachment of fifty American marines marched in the funeral procession. Thirty Japanese, mostly personal friends and admirers of the patrol, also were in the procession. The Chinese community in Shanghai was in mourning, and thousands of young Chinese, mostly students at schools and colleges, were in the procession. The body of General Tsai Ao was taken to his native province of Hunan for burial. COURT EQUIPS CUPID'S BOWER Chicago Judge Battles Divorce by Fitting Up a Room For Spooning. Chicago—Husbandis and wives who allow their troubles to reach the court of domestic relations will be given an opportunity to "make up" in a little room attached to the court which is being fitted up for that purpose by Judge John Stelk. The judge has not given the room a name yet, but he said it will be fitted up in a way aimed to aid the disgruntled in renewing their love for one another. Plants, flowers, canary birds, a music box and soft draperies will contribute to the furnishings. "The purpose of the fittings will be to bring out the old affection that the couple held for each other when they were courting," said the judge. "It is my purpose to get them to spoon all over-again and then go home and live as they ought to." Deer Gores Cattle. Estey, W Va.—A large deer appeared in a pasture near here in which there were a large number of cows owned by W. L.

Isaiah Montgomery was the only member of his race who was a member elected to the constitutional convention of 1890, as delegate from Bollvar County. He was here to consult the governor and attorney-general relative to the internal political affairs of Mound Bayou, claiming that a kind of ring has gotten control of municipal affairs, which declines to be ousted or to retire; yet their retirement, he feels sure, would be, for the best interest of the community. --- --- AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 505 UP STYLE 4523 63rd & Eastern Ave.,N.E.

TRACING FAKE BILL Exciting Chase of United States Secret Service Man. After Bank Clerk Discovers Spurious Currency, Hunt Leads to Many Cities. Grocer, Original Owner of Bill, Proves to Be Agent For Organized Band of Counterfeiters. Cleveland, O.-The tracing of counterfeit bills back to the persons responsible for their issue is a curious and exciting employment. The experts assigned by the government to this work are among the most skillful members of the secret service. The protection of the currency depends in large measure upon their efficiency, and the pain they take are almost infinite. The following case is one illustrating the difficulties which the secret service people meet and overcome. A bank clerk in Cleveland had detected a counterfeit twenty dollar bill P. WILLIAM J. FLYNN, CHIEF OF UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE. WILLIAM J. FLYNN, CHIEF OF UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE. in the deposit of a small retail grocer. An expert was sent for and undertook the case. He found that the grocer had received the bill from a shoe dealer, who had it from a dentist, who had it from somebody else, and so on until the secret service man finally traced the note to an invalid woman, who had used it to pay her physician. When questioned this woman said that the money had been sent her by her brother, who lived in New Orleans. The sleuth looked up the brother's antecedents and soon became convinced that he was the man wanted. The brother, however, soon proved to the satisfaction of the secret service man that his suspicions were unfounded. Indeed, it appeared that the money had been received by the New Orleans man in part payment of rent of a house he owned in Pittsburgh. While the sleuth was a bit discouraged, he couldn't give over the case when he had gone so far, so he took the next train for Pittsburgh. The tenant of the house in Pittsburgh proved to be a traveling oculist, who most spent of his time in the middle west. The secret service man had the good fortune, however, to catch him just as he had returned from a trip, and the man at once recognized the bad bill as one that had been given him by a patient in Cleveland, the very point where the sleuth had started. The patient was a boss carpenter. The carpenter, an honest old fellow, sald that he had received the bill from a certiul Perkins. The sald Perkins was the small grocer in whose bank deposit the counterfeit had turned up. The expert flew to the grocer's as quickly as the taxi would take him and found it closed. The grocer had left town. Afterward it was shown beyond question that the grocer was the agent of an organized band of counterfeiters. His shop was a mere blind. That the bill which he gave the carpenter should get back into his own funds after traveling all over the country was one of those miracles of chance for which there is no explanation. RAFFLE THREE BACHELORS. Men Willing to Wed Won by Girls With Lucky Numbers.
