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 IN OUR SCHOOLS Patriotic Meeting of Civic Center—Patriotism the Keynote Struck by Eloguent and Timely Speeches—Many Parents and Friend's Sign Pledge—Committees Report Success in Their Efforts for Finances. At a recent meeting of the Original Parent-Teachers' Association which was held in the Alfred Jones School, patriotism was the keynotes struck by the speakers and a vein of it ran throughout the program. The man parents of the children had ample despite the steady downpour of rain signed the pledge of the association, thus manifesting their loyalty to their country and a desire to assume their part of the responsibility in the country's preparedness during the period of our national crisis. A composite report of the various committees which was rendered by the business manager of the association showed $60.63 on hand, and success in the efforts for finances in the present campaign. A report of this will be reended when all returns have been received. The association is rapidly becoming self-supporting. The time given annually by its members in an effort to increase its funds through the medium of an entertainment was devoted to instruction in patriotic preparedness. But, instead little bags to which were attached cards, bearing the following inscription, were given the members and friends: The original Citizens' Association of Patrons of Schools (The Original Parent-Teachers' Association). Got little bags we send them out. Upon a friendly sen; May friendly winds from every clime Bring back to us thee. Bring Laden with fruit (pennies) from thine friend every fruit Every friend: 'Till the hull can hold 'no more. Then draw the string to hold it in. To serve the needy poor. Needs of the Parent-Teachers' Association Funds: 1. To purchase shoes and rubbers for the needy children. 2. To purchase books for indigent high school children. 3. To launch the J. F. Bundy Beneficial Association. Return to MRS. L. V. THOMAS. Chairman 8th Grade Com. The success of the campaign will be determined when the final report is rendered. Sufficient to say that the majority of children are working with the same zeal to make successful returns as they did at the informal afternoon meetings when the bags were being made. The definite aim of each grade committee is as follows: 8th Grade—Activity; publicity chairman, R. B. Bell; constitution, W. A. Gray; financial, L. V. Thomas; patriotism, Thomas Edwards; execution, Kate Johnson. 6th grade, 1B—Shoes and rubbers, N, R. Carroll. 5th grade-The Fraternity fund, Esther, Tolson. 4th grade -Victrola, industrial work S. Taylor. 3rd grade—Entertainment, E. McLean. 2A and 2B—Decorations, Emma Jackson. 1A—Community library, S. Steward. The report of each committee on this occasion showed marked progress in its work. The committee on gardening reported that it had obtained the loan of a plot of ground at Fort Stevens, D. C. That they had communicated with the central garden committee to notify them of their intention to work in harmony with them; that they had requited for some free fertilizer; that they had solicited free seed from the Agricultural Department and had purchased some. Realizing the importance, of a constitution in its relation to an organization, the committee on constitution submitted the revised form to the association which was unanimously accepted. A copy in printed form will eventually be given each. Realizing the importance of a constitution in its relation to an organization, the committee submitted the revised form to the Asso, which was unanimously accepted. A copy in printed form will be eventually given each member. The committee on patriotism reported that efforts in the school community had been directed along lines of the country's preparedness: the teaching of respect for the flag and allegiance to our country. The committee on shoes reported that eight pairs of shoes had been given to the needy children of the school, and that the committee is meeting with financial success in the present campaign. The Fraternity committee reported $50.00 on hand and success in the present campaign or funds. The industrial committee reported a phenomenal response by the parents in supplying articles of their own production for the exhibit on the night of the Celebration of the Ninth Anniversary. All committees reported activity and progress. After a few remarks of welcome by their principal the attention of the guests assembled was directed to the words of "the Nation's Prayer" which were written upon the blackboard: "God give us men! A time like this demands Strong, minds, great hearts, true faith, and ready hands. tarn, him ready office. Men whom the lust of office does not kill. Men whom the spoils of office can not buy: Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, and who will not lie; Men who can stand before a dema- And scorn his treacherous flatteries without winkling. Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty and in private thinking! The first speaker was Rev. Jernagin pastor of Mt. Carmel Church Home Training." The home, he said, is the corner stone of Patriotic Civilization whether it be mental moral or physical. There is no good home training without fear and love of God. There should be strict discipline and plous teaching in the home. Schools may instruct, churches may preach, but the first and best work should be done in the church. Teachers should girls before others teach them. Fathers should do the same with their boys. "As the morning shows the day, so childhood shows the man," says Milton. Mr. E. L. Thurston, Superintendent of schools prefixed his remarks by saying, "This is the Parent—Teacher Association with a great amount of history behind it." His talk was on the subject of "Thrift." The work of the school carries it back into the home which may help or hinder that of the former place. The speaker said, we waste time, energy, money, health. It is no longer a question in relation to ourselves but to the nation at large for everyone's goal. The problem for the nation's goal. Thrift is not stinginess and is not something which deals with money only. "Thrift," in Webster's Dictionary, means also use of things and vigorous growth. The guarding of ones physical health and strength means more than saving money. A healthy girl or boy will have more personality to appeal to people to do the work of later life. The Thrift proposition is now the question of the nation. The second kind of "Thrift" is that of time. It takes ten minutes for some people to do something that ought to be done in one. Children's training should begin with their spending. All children should have a chance to earn something in early life. The speaker said that over a thousand children doing work and learning are making as much money as the child who left school to work. He spoke of and commended "Thrift" in the school garden. Thrift is a sort of thing that gets down to home and lays the foundation for things that the country needs. The next speaker was Dr. Stair Parsons, Chairman of the school committee, N. E. Citizen's Association, who presented a silk flag to the chairman of the most successful committee financially in the present campaign for funds, which was the Eighth Grade. He graphically depicted the history of the country from colonial days to the time when Washington requested 'the Continental Congress to accept the satisfactory design presented by Betsy Ross. He commented at length on Perry's Heroism of Lake Erie. He said that the U. S. has entered the World's War in defense of one of the purest flags upon which the sun has ever shone. He exhorted his listeners to do in this time of the nation's peril as they had always done in the past—to stand by their country and for their flag; they have, always been loyal and true. The speaker said that he was asked by a colored clergyman, "What shall we do to succeed?" His reply was, "Buy property, show to the people that you are honest, etc., then there will be no color line. Till the soil, buy farms, and manage your own affairs in sections where you can elect your own managers." Mrs. John N. Spell of the U. S. Navy donated and presented eight dozen silk flags to her audience. She said in part, "If the men who gave their lives fifty years ago could have heard the flag salute so beautifully given by this community, they would feel that they did not give their lives in vain. She said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. Napoleon never selected an officer for an army without knowing his mother. That man should be more efficient as fathers. She spoke of her aged father, 33 years of age, who went to the adjutant general's office in the city of Harrisburg and offered his services to the country. The country, said the speaker, needs room to remain at home and to work. To make jellies, bandages, care or gardens and many other things needed in time of war. She concluded her remarks by saying, "Man may do without painting, music and books. But where is the man who can do OBJS. But where is the man who can do without cooks." without cooks.

The serving of refreshments and signing of the following revised form of the pledge which is used by the association by its members concluded the evening's program: The original Citizens' 5 Association of the Patrons of Schools in the District of Columbia, organized April 16, 1908.

There are two ways of ending a dispute—Discussion and Force. HONORING THEIR DEAD. Two Thousand People Brave the storm—Grand Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy in Command—Eloquent Speeches—Attorney C. S. Williams Delivered Edgery. Notwithstanding the severe rain and snow storm last Sunday evening over two thousand people assembled in the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church to attend the memorial exercises of Columbia College of Elks, No. 55 J. B. P. O. E. of W. On Sunday night, April 8, Columbia Lodge No. 85, I. B. P. O. E. of W., assembled in a lodge of sorrow to pay its respect to six deceased members. The setting-could not have been more fitting, nor complete, had it been one of the fixed feasts or festivals of the ancients; nature herself seemed to have lent her aid in making the scene complete. The second Sunday came on Easter Sunday. You may imagine the beauty and splendor of the audience; the ladies all arrayed in their Easter gowns with their beautiful flowered hats, blended perfectly with the electrical effect of beautiful John Wesley Church, the place of the services; the structure of a beautiful march behind, forth from the monstrous pine organ of the church, the procession of Elks, led by the esquire, entered and marched down the center aisle in files of two. Think of three hundred and fifty men in full dress with white gloves, moving down these aisles of beautiful John Wesley which is famed for the superb interior architecture. After the members had all filed in, the Exalted luler stepped to the front of the rostrum and with the carriage of a Chesterfield and the enunciation of a diplomat proceeded to open the lodge. From the responses of all the officers as to their several duties, one would think that the organization was to learn. At the conclusion of the training services the exercises were turned over to Dr. Jackson, the master of ceremonies. From then until the end of the program the audience sat breathless, awaiting for the next number on the program. The audience was completely captivated when Prof. Lewis of the Amphion Glee Club came forward with his sexette to render his first number. The audience was most excellently rendered. When Brant wrote "Thantopsis," I am satisfied little did he think that Bro. W. T. Dixon would ever be called upon to render that beautiful master piece to such a vast audience; but I must say that Mr. Dixon's rendition was the best ever heard by Columbia Lodge, and doubtless, many others present. The principles of the order were touched upon by Mr. Harry L. Tignor, a member of the bar, in a brief but quite impressive manner. After which the orator of the evening was introduced, the legal adviser of the lodge, Chas. S. Williams. All who know attorney Williams have long since conceded him to be a 'born orator. From the time he rose the audience had a death like silence, listening to the matchless eloquence of the speaker. So serious and pathetic were his utterances when he called the names of the departed brethren and no one answered that numbers in the audience were seen to wipe away their tears. So profound was the address that the Rev. Brown in his sermon paused to make the remark that he had seen the Elks in another light, and he had changed entirely from his former opinion. The sermon of Brown the pastor, as philippe, was thick and it was conceded that he knew more about the principles of the order than some of the speakers did; that is if their utterances are any criterion. Now as to the Exalted Ruler, Bro. E. W. Bundy; he is the idlpl of his lodge, having brought the organization from a bankrupt and disrespected organization when he took charge to one now with a bank account of more than $1,600,000, and upwards of 500 financial members, and also the respect of the philanthropy. Bundy is a wonder; the members are now getting ready to re-elect him and send him to Cleveland to the Grand Lodge in June. Long live Columbia Lodge. No. 85, is the prayer of The Bee. GREAT NATIONAL MEETING AT METROPOLITAN N.A. M. E. CHURCH The most important National Meeting held in the last 50 years will take place Monday, April 16th at Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, M Street bet. 15th and 16th from 3 to 6 o'clock P. M., at which time the colored ministry of the city of Washington and the city of Palo Alto race leaders will take under advisement a statement to be sent out to the country, outlining the policy for the race in connection with the present national crisis. Following the afternoon Executive meeting, there will be hold at 8 P. M., under the National Independent League, a great Patriotic Rally to which all liberty, loving and loyal citizens are invited. A roster of Speakers, of national reputation, will be present and addresses of a very high order delivered. Notably, Don James, Loyde, O. W. B. Evans, Dr. Edward D. Williston, Prof. J. R. Hawkins, Rev. W. C. Brown, Rev. C. H. Stepteau, Judge Robt. H. Terrell, Rev. A. C. Garner, Hon. Wm. Calvin Chase and Rev. W. H. Jernagin. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, Presiding; D. Dewitt Turpean, Secretary. FLORIDA AVENUE BAPTIST CHURCH. Rev, W. A. Taylor Preaches an Eloquent Sermon. Fifteen hundred people greeted Rev. W. A. Taylor last Sabbath morning, who delivered a most eloquent Easter sermon. Dr. Taylor pictured the resurrection of Christ in a manner that was most touching. There were few dry eyes among his auditors. The music by the choir far surpassed any that has ever been rendered. The volunteer collection amounted to over forty-five dollars. At the conclusion of the services, Mr. W. Calvin Chase was introduced and said among other things, that it did not appear to him that there any division among the membership, as it had been repeated by published by him in memorials of the man wise to be thoroughly convinced of the truth or falsity of an article before you publish it. The public is told that there is a wide split in your church. If there is, it is not developed this morning and my opinion is that conditions have been misrepresented. A vote of thanks was tendered the editor and the congregation was urged to support the paper. BETHEL LITERARY: Bethel Literary takes pleasure in announcing that on next Tuesday evening the Medico-Chirurgical Society will present a program in three papers as follows: Discases of Children by Dr. John W. Mitchell, discussion opened by Dr. U. L. Houston; Foods, Valuable but Cheap, by Dr. H. C. Scurlock, discussion opened by Dr. M. O. Dumas; Sickness, How Caused, by Dr. Wm. H. Wilson, discussion opened by Dr. A. M. Curtis. *Music by The Lynx Quintet. A. Russell Wooding, director.* REV. J. FRANCIS GREGORY AP-PEARS AT BETHEL LITERARY PEARS AT BETHEL LITERARY. Bethel Literary Society was highly esteemed. Tuesday night, by Rev. J. Frenkman, the pastor of The People's Church, M Street, N. W., Mr. Gregory spoke upon loyalty of the Negro American. The paper was a masterpiece in its conception of citizenship, fidelity and sincerity, as exemplified by the colored people of the Nation. Some of the striking points in the address were: If not Americans we should be ashamed to own it. Not proud of a Negro who would sell his loyalty to Germany. America attacks the savagery, inhumanity, brutality, and autocracy of Germany. He believes it is a righteous war. He praised the exalted tone of the Presidents message to Congress, and declared that all political differences should be forgotten. Righteousness, decency, and freedom should be the battle cry. We should not, as a race, shift our ground, but stand firm upon our native health and offer our lives, if necessary, in defense of the American Flag, and protect the fine ideals of the republic. Our young men should beware of any approach toward treason, and give unencumbered allegiance to the country, showing a solid front of patriotism. Historical sentiment should pass the lips of any Nogro. Keep our heads steady and our feet planted firmly upon the soil. Fight with hatred, and the generations of the future will reap the full reward of our patriotic conduct. Mr. Gregory quoted frequently from Kipling, Shakespeare, Browning and others, displaying a splendid mastery of the classics. The house was well filled, and gave him a standing vote of thanks. ARCHITECT LANKFORD TO PATTERN A MARVELOUS GUN Mr. John A. Lankford, the well known supervising architect, now located at Jacksonville, Pla., has been in the city for several days, circulating among old friends and looking after a number of business matters. Among other things, Mr. Lankford is representing the inventor of a marvelous machine gun, invented by a colored man, that is one of most one of war weapons yet introduced on the battlefield. Mr. Lankford has made a great contribution to this art and is confident there is a fortune in store for him. While living in Washington some years ago, Mr. Lankford took an active part in all civic movements and was president of the local Negro-Business League. He is looking the picture of prosperity and is a power in his new Southland home. BISHOP L. N. ROSS CABLES. Mrs. Ross received a cablegram Monday morning from Tenniller, stating that Bishop I. N. Ross will arrive in New York April 18th. Mrs. Ross will leave Tuesday morning to meet him. MAKES A GREAT GIFT Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone Set a Record—Acts Count and Not Word—The Greatest Institution in United States Makes Final Payment of 2,000. $2,000.00 as a final payment on a pledge of $5,000.00 was paid to the Y. M. C. A. in St. Louis by Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone on Sunday, April 1st and history was made. Mr. and Mrs. Malone set a new record when they pledged $5,000.00 toward the Y. M. C. A. Fund, and they have pledged to show their interest in the Y. M. C. A. caused by the paying in of their pledge until the whole $5,000.00 has been paid. $2,000.00 has now been collected for the New Building for colored men in St. Louis. This New Building is to have all the modern facilities of the Young Men's Christian Associations and will be able to accommodate 100 men. Ground for the New Building will be broken during this month. The gift of Mr. and Mrs. Malone had its good only as well. The day following the final payment of their pledge, the Globe Democrat, which is one of the most influential papers in St. Louis, had the following editorial. "Widening the activities and influences of the Young Men's Christian thought and effort of the well-to-do and well disposed people. The president aid not long ago that a large community may be most accurately judged, as to its civic and social standards, by the degree of its promotion of such work. The same general truth had been realized before then, and the growth of Young Men's Christian Association in large cities, aided by the financial assistance of men of means and understanding, and facilitated by the cooperation of men themselves, has been found to be of the most promising efforts toward solution of some problems growing out of modern city life. In comparatively recent years the organization of such institutions for eration of young men themselves, has been recognized as a practical means of meeting the growing into the law of the young church congregation and feeling a greater want of social companionship, some of these associations have grown, in a number of their membership justifying the erection of buildings for their use. Toward these building funds, people of means, disccormment, and a sense of social responsibility, have contributed liberally. One of the largest contributions of this kind is that of Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Malone, one of $5000, of which $3000 has already been paid, to the $17,000 fund for building a Colored Y. M. C. A. building in St. Louis, now planned by the St. Louis Young Men's Christian Association and, to be known as the Pine St. Branch, when finally completed at a cost of $150,000. The structure will be four stories in height exclusive of furniture containing in large running room, and the end of its creation, as such institutions have been and are serving such ends wherever tried, there can be no doubt. Providing young men with places of clean amusement is one of the best of social investments."

AN AEROLOGICAL SURVEY. Dr. Walcott of Smithsonian Institution Calls Attention to the Fact That Nothing Is Known of Fluid In Which Millions of Dollars and Hundreds of Lives Are Invested. Washington.—One of the most important steps in aviation preparedness undertaken is the effort of the National Advisory Committee For Aeronautics to establish an aerological survey designed to serve aviation much the same as the hydrographic office of the coast and geodetic survey advises on ocean navigation. During the past twelve months the committee has been exercising every means possible to advise and assist the aerial arms of the government, both for land and sea operation. This committee has been able to assist in standardizing aeroplane construction to a certain extent, has met with manufacturers of aeroplanes and aeroplane motors in an effort to expedite the delivery of machines to the government and has been of great assistance in the solution of many other problems. Now it proposes the serious consideration of the vital necessity of recording 1910 DR. CHARLES D. WALCOTT. And charting the irregularities of the atmosphere so that our aviators in peace and war may have the benefit of exact information both for their own safety and as an expedient to efficient operation of aerial messenger, reconnaissance and fighting service. The committee believes the time has come when aerial stations should be established and maintained, especially in conjunction with military stations maintained for the instruction of aviators. In a telegram read by President Alin R. Hawley at the Aero Club of America banquet in New York Dr. Charles D. Walcott, secretary of the mithsonian institution and chairman of the executive committee of the National Advisory Committee For Aeronautics, advised its members to urge post strongly the establishment and maintenance of the aerological surveys over North America and adjoining warz. "At present," said Dr. Walcott in his telegram, "practically nothing is known the movements of the fluid in which cortely thousands of aircraft, representing millions of dollars in Investent, will be floating, and, what is far more important, they will be operated thousands of our finest, specially trained young men." HALF A TOWN. IN ARMY. ends Many of the Young Men Into the Ranks. Wilmington, Del.—One-half of Vida gone to war, and two-thirds of the mahder are preparing to enlist. Vida a peaceful little town near Mont- ney. A recruiting officer of the solar army arrived and found thir- nine young men of military age. Six sed and went to Montgomery with recruiting officer, leaving behind others who promised to join them in their private affairs could be argued. Those who enlisted are C. F. Wright, B. Wright, H. E. Hedgepeth, B. M. Miden, B. D. Hedgepeth and John C. ams. They were accepted by the argomery recruiting office. The post- ter at Vida will be given $30, $5 each man, under the rule of the armament allowing a postmaster $5 every person be persuades to join army. AUERKRAUT AND SLEEP. Miller Has a Recipe For Attaining Old Age. neaster, O.—"Eat plenty of saucer and get lots of sleep." That's the one for a long life of Mrs. Anna Miller who celebrated her one hundredth day anniversary by dancing a set with a great-great-grandchild. A Miller was born in Germany name here in 1820. She has lived farm near here for eighty seven. She has five children, twenty-grandchildren, twenty-one great-children and two great-great-children. WENT TWO MILES ALONE WITH HIS LEG BROKEN Rancher Inlured by Fall Shows Gameness Getting to Neighbor's Cabin. Laramie, Wyo.—An idea of the gameness of some of Wyoming's ranchers was gained recently with the arrival in Laramie of Bob Holcombe, a rancher in the Sand creek country, who went eighteen hours with a broken leg and no medical aid. He crawled one mile on his hands and knees with a broken leg dragging after him. He made another mile on improvised crutches made out of a one inch plank and then put on his own splints with a broken up cracker box and five empty flour sacks. Holcombe was working a bunch of cattle about four miles from his ranch and two miles from the nearest house. The horse he was riding slipped and fell on Holcombe's right leg. It snapped between the knee and ankle. Knowing there was no help within two miles, the gameness of the man asserted itself. Suffering excruciating pain, he crawled on his hands and knees for a mile, where he had noticed a one inch plank. With the aid of a knife he broke this plank lengthwise and, putting one piece under each arm, used them as crutches and traveled a mile to the cabin of a friend. Here he broke up a cracker box and with his knife whittled out some rough spirits. With the aid of five flour sacks he bound on the splints. The friend then telephoned to a neighbor for a car and brought the injured man to the city. Old World May Be So Depopulated and Impoverished That It Will Never Recover. Basel, Switzerland.—Nearly thirty years ago, in 1888, a novel was published in Leipzig under the title "Surya." In this book the following prophecles appear: "In 1904 the first clash between western and eastern countries will take place. "In 1Q12 the Balkans will be drenched with blood and the corpses of hundreds of thousands of slain men will cover the battlefields. From this bloody struggle the most fearful war of all history will develop. The entire civilized world and even savage tribes will be drawn into the horrible conflagration, which will turn all Europe into a bowling wilderness in three years. The war will continue until all of the belligerents are exhausted and the armies in the field rebel against the awful slaughter. It will end with a general uprising of the masses. The revolution will start in one of the largest countries engaged in the war and bring horrors which may make those of the French revolution appear like child's play. Within a few months the revolution will spread over all Europe, and when it ends the old world will be demolished and so impoverished that it may never be able to recover." The first two of these prophecies have come true, and the third one is partly fulfilled. In 1004 the war between Russian and Japan started, and 1012 brought the first Balkan war, which was followed at once by the second. From these struggles the present horrible world war developed. Almost the entire world is fighting. Revolution has overturned the government of Russia. Will the general revolution, the horrid climax predicted by the writer, also come? HONOR FOR ONE REDHEAD. Dr. Marion Leroy Burton to Be a Life Member of the Association Member of the Association Alexandria, Ind.—A life membership in the National Association of Redheads probably will be voted to Dr. Marion Leroy Burton, president of the University of Minnesota, a redhead, when the organization meets in Indianapolis. The Minnesota educator worked in a drug store in Minnesota twenty-five years ago, delivering packages at a salary of $6 a week. To his friends he was known as "Redhead" and "Bricktop." Now he receives $10,000 annually as the head of the state university. Plans for the annual meeting of the Redhead society in August will be made in a short time. Virgin Islands Postal Order. Washington. — Postmaster General Burleson has issued an order making the domestic postage rates and conditions applicable to mail exchanged between the Virgin Islands, formerly known as the Danish West Indies, and the United States. GETS LETTER MAILED SIXTEEN YEARS AGO Salem, Ore.—Sixteen years on its way a letter has just reached E. M. Croelson of Salem, Ore. from J. Sutton Burns of Boone- ville, Mo. Mr. Burns had crossed the plains in 1846 with Mr. Cro- son's parents, and the son wrote the pioneer in 1910. He had given him up for dead until the leter came." It had apparently been lying somewhere in the hands of the postoffice department. CLEW TO BURIED COIN: Will Shows Where It Was Buried and Offers Half to Finder. Centrallia, Wash.—"This is a will of my own construction, and as a man of good health and sound mind do I, W. F. Bryan, colored, give and bequeath to the finder of this will one-half of a gallon glass jugful of gold coins which lie buried five feet deep and thirty feet east of the section corner of my old homestead. "The finder must publish, this before any work begins on its recovery, but the finder must get another party to dig for it, and the digger gets one-half. I do this to keep my lazy kintfolk from getting it. If they make any fuss about it after it is found, give them $1 each. There is also another jugful buried a few rods west of the old dwelling house. I can't locate it, however, as the mark is lost. Dated this second day of October, 1888. "W. F. BRXAN" Bryan, who is well remembered by the old residents of Centralia, died in the early nineties. Allan Miller, a present resident of Centralia, was a nephew of Mrs. Bryan, who died about six weeks ago. She Is Only Twelve Years Old, but Has Grown Phenominally. Baltimore, MD.—A girl who has been growing for the last three years at a phenomenal rate and is now over six feet tall, although only twelve years old, is being given the expert attention of medical men of the Johns Hopkins hospital, who expect to see her become a prodigy, a veritable giantess, without loss of mental powers. For the last three years her growth has been phenomenal, surpassing all records at the hospital. Until she was nine years old she was simply a large girl, but not likely to attract attention. Occasional pain accompanied her sudden growth, but her health remained unimpaired. She weighs 4171 pounds. Developing a fondness for books, she has read many more than an ordinary child of her age, and the severe test of her intellect made by the experts in that line at the hospital gave this verdict: "She is above the average in intellect." DOG RESCUED IN NET. Foll Into a Well In an Abandoned House. Greenfield, Ind—Passing a vacant house in this city some time ago Samuel Bulkin heard a dog barking, and a week later, passing the place again, he heard a sound as of a dog in distress. He and others went on a search of the premises and found the animal in an abandoned well eighteen feet under the floor of the house. Boards had been placed at that depth to hold the pump stock in place, and the dog was on these boards a few feet above the water. The men powered a basket into the well, but this failed, and they finally contrived a net that brought the animal to the surface. After expressing his thankfulness to his rescuers in a dog's way he run with all strength remaining to the north part of the city and to a two-year-old baby in the home of parents that had been advertising and looking for the playmate of their children. PUPILS OUTSPELL PARENTS. Scholars Defeat Their Elders In a School Contest. "Tacoma, Wash.-Members of the eighth grade of the Jefferson school defeated their parents in a geographical or 'railroad' spelling match held in the school. Mrs. Clarenge Bitney, who had stood alone on her side for thirty minutes, retired when she could not think of a geographical name beginning with "G" after her daughter Ruth, on the opposite side, had finished spelling "Darling," one of the largest rivers in Australia. When the match was over three of the eighth grade pupils were still standing. These were Johanna Madsen, René Lechner and Ruth Bitney. LONG TRIP ACROSS ATLANTIC. Gales Stripped Ship Westgate of Canvas, but She Got Here. New York.—After a passage of 110 days, from London, the British full rigged ship Westgate arrived here recently. She was loaded with chalk and sailed Dec. 11. Encountering gales, almost all her sails were blown away, and she drifted about the Atlantic, finally managing to make Barbados. There she was fitted with new canvases, with which she put to sea again. She was off Barnegat March 24 and she tried day after day to get here, but failed. Captain Steele finally decided she was tired out, and he hulled the tug Maron Lee, which towed him here. One of the crew was taken off at quarantine suffering from fever. BEAR. INVADES FARMS. Kills Sheep and Pigs and Escapes Into a Swamp. Shelbyville, Del.—A large cinnamon bear is terrorizing the inhabitants of Costen Station. In several instances in the past few weeks the bear has made its appearance at farmhouses, frightening the women and chasing away the men. The weather evidently has cut off its food supplies, and it is killing sheep and pigs on many farms. It has been hunted several times, but its trail invariably leads to a swamp which is practically impervious to man. It is supposed that the bear is one that escaped from a circus about seven years ago near Princess Anne.

PUT ELEPHANTS TO WORK. Germans Using Big Beasts For Hauling In Berlin Streets. Berlin.—Of the extraordinary sights seen in the snow blocked streets of Berlin the employment of huge working elephants for traffic purposes is certainly the strangest. The animals belong to a circus, and every morning they may be seen on their way drawing heavy carts loaded with iron boilers, each weighing 35,000 pounds. No eight horses would be sufficient to move these huge wagons, but to the gigantic pachyderms it seems as child's play. If they find an auto bus stuck in a snowdirt, with panting, exhausted horses trying to pull it out, the working elephant lends a friendly forehead, and in a trice the stranded vehicle is afloat again. Can't Sleep In Movies. Chicago.—A movie house is no Pullman, the Chicago police have decreed. For months down-and-outers have obtained lodging for a nickel by entering an all night movie house and snoozing while villains pursued herolnes across the screen. The police broke up the practice by arresting seventeen of the sleepers. --- AT ALL GOOD DEALERS 50¢ UP STYLE 4523 Grafonola "25" and six doub e disc Record $29.50 H.

Santa Rosa, Cal.—A battle between a giant 'buzzard' and a fifteen-year-old boy clinging to the root of a shrub 250 feet up a straight ledge of rock was won by the boy, who is now recovering from an experience that rivals Poe's fictionial terrors. The boy is Hans Mierbach, and he hung high above a pile of jagged rocks for four hours. He was walking on the brink of a precipice when his root slipped and he fell over. Twenty feet below he caught a root and hung on. With his handkerchief he tied his left wrist to the root and then wrote a note to a boy friend bidding him farewell and saying that no one was responsible for his predicament. Just as he finished writing a huge buzzard flew down upon him and started to peck at his head and body. The hungry bird inflicted deep wounds in the boy's flesh. Young Mierbach fought the buzzard with his free hand for over an hour. He had been tormented to a frenzy and was about exhausted when the bird gave up the fight. At nightfall a searching party found the boy and rescued him. He had nearly lost consciousness from his experience and loss of blood. EFFECTS OF THE WAR ON CHILDREN OF ENGLAND Juvenile Delinquency Has Increased 34 Per Cent Since Great Struggle Began. Baltimore.—Drawing a terrible picture of war's effects on children in England, Owen R. Lovejoy, general secretary of the National Child Labor Committee, told the conference on child labor here this country must take drastic steps to protect its little ones. Concerning conditions in Great Britain he said: "Last fall in the English parliament Sir James Yoxall said: 'A large portion of our elementary school system is in ruins—I will not say as desolate as the ruins of Louvain, but there is to some extent a likeness.'" "In one area 17,000 children out of 41,000 have been displaced from school because the buildings have been taken over for military purposes. Teachers have enlisted and government economies have lowered the efficiency of schools; special classes, even classes, medical inspection, lunches have been reduced or stopped. In addition some 500,000 children between twelve and fifteen left school to enter industry in 1915 and probably more than that in 1916. Between 150,000 and 200,000 children eleven and twelve years old are at work. "Juvenile delinquency in England has increased 34 per cent since 1914, and delinquency of boys twelve and thirteen has increased in greater proportion than in any other age group." DOG SAVES GIRL'S-LIFE. Animal Drags Her From River to a Sanitarium. Green Bay, Wis.-Madeline Denny, aged ten, of Little Rapids, owes her life to the courage and faithfulness of Drewster, a building owned by Miss Helen Schelker, superintendent of the Brown county tuberculosis sanitarium. Madeline was crossing Fox river whez she felt through a hole in the ice. "I clung on to the edge and screamed," she said. "Brewster was standing on the bank. He ran to me, grabbed my sleeve and pulled until I was able to extricate myself. Then he dragged me by the collar to the sanitarium grounds." The grounds are about 200 yards from the river. Brewster will be given a new collar, properly inscribed, just like heroic humans get Carnegie medals. FORTUNE TO POLICEMAN. Brooklyn Patrolman Goes to California For Legacy. New York.--A nineteen days' leave of absence was granted by Police Commissioner Woods to Patrolman James F. Gaffney of the Bedford avenue police station, Williamsburg. The policeman started for the Pacific coast to claim a fortune left to him by an aunt. Gaffney, who is thirty-five years old, married, and lives at 124 Oak street, has been a dozen years on the force. The inheritance ranges all the way from $50,000 to $100,000, and the first knowledge the policeman had of his good fortune was when he received a letter from a San Francisco attorney. TO BAR TOWN CLOCK. Hotel Keeper Seeks Injunction Against City Timepiece. Wichita, Kan.-S. J. Smallley, proprietor of the Coronado hotel, across the street from the city hall, employed a lawyer to obtain an injunction to prevent Mayor Bentley and the commissioners from installing a clock in the city hall tower. For years citizens have petitioned administrations to beautify the unsightly beaded up tower with a clock, and the Bentley administration let a contract for a $1,500 clock. Smallley alleges that the striking of the clock will wake up his guests every hour at night. THE SOJOURNER TRUTH HOUSE. On a pleasant side street in Harlem District of New York City, opposite the Colored Music School Settlement, stands a small, three-storied house. No. 151 West 131st Street, that is flooded with sunshine all day long and dedicated to the bringing of light into young lives that have had but a scant supply of it. Should we enter during the morning hours we should generally find the house empty and quiet, for its inmates are attending a near-by public school, but after three o'clock it becomes a bee-hive of activity. Twelve little colored girls between ten and sixteen years of age are at various household tasks, cooking, cleaning, sewing, washing and ironing, or singing and playing games, according to the time of our visit, but in any case, doing something, under the wise supervision of the colored superintendent and matron, that will fit them, by developing their embryonic moral and spiritual natures, to meet later the struggle of life. During the short time(ten months) that it has been running, the House having a capacity of twelve girls, thirty-six have been accommodated; eight have been placed out in exceptionally good homes and are doing well; eleven have been returned to their families with prospects of better oversight and brighter future; while others have been passed on to such institutions as seemed best able to cope with their peculiar needs. The influence of gentle and just discipline does not stop with the girls, but reaches out, wherever possible, to parents and other relatives, often arousing in them a dormant natural pride in and affection for, the child, and leading to improvement in family conditions. —Southern Workman. INFULX OF NEGROES NOTED IN NEW YORK New York, N. Y.—New York's Negro problem is becoming increasingly difficult, according to speakers at the first luncheon held by the Business Men's meetings. William J. Doherty, Deputy Commissioner of Charities, said that 150,000 southern Negroes had come north since war time prosperity came into evidence. They were lured by high wages and plenty of work, but when they got here they found they were not acclimated, educated or experienced enough to care for themselves. Their migration from the South gave the southerners a problem, but eventually, he said, southern employers will have to meet the high wages offered in the North. George Foster Peabody said that when the South realized that the Negro laborers were flocking north productive conditions there would improve and the Negroes would stay there.

Just as a good fertilizer nourishes the soil and produces a rich crop of wheat or corn, so will the proper remedy create a healthy condition of the scalp, and promote the growth of the hair. QUINADE stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, thereby causing a healthy growth. QUINADE was invented by a New York chemist, and is made under the personal supervision of a registered pharmacist of over 25 years' experience; this is a guarantee that QUINADE is as near pharmaceutically correct as can be. The ingredients are selected with great care, and nothing enters this high class preparation unless it is of the highest purity. Seeby's QUINASOAP, the ideal shampoo, is an excellent aid to QUINADE in keeping the scalp in a clean, healthy condition. It should be used about every two weeks. Both articles are sold by druggists and dealers at 25c each, or will be sent direct by Seeby Drug Co., 79 E. 130th St., New York City, on receipt of price. Write for sample of QUINADE, mentioning the name in this paper.
