LAWYERS IN TOWN DISTINGUISHED LAWYER IN TOWN. Will Ask for a Change of Venue In Case of Elbert R. Robinson Against Judge C. Koblatsat. Against Judge C. C. Rolleaset George W. Ellis and Richard E. Westbrook, doing business in Chicago, as attorneys and counsellors at law under the firm name of Ellis & Westbrook, are in Washington representing Mr. E. R. Robinson in two important matters, namely, to have two transferred by change of venue from the 7th United States Judicial Circuit on account of the prejudice of the judges of the United States Circuit Court of Appeals of the Northern District of Illinois; and to file a certain petition to Congress to investigate the records in certain other patent suits of E. R. Robinson and to institute proceedings for the impeachment of Judge C. Kohlsaat in the matter of said suits. The suits sought to be changed from the Illinois District are E. R. Robinson vs. The Ford Motor Company Corporation for $10,000,000 damages for infringement of the patent of E. R. Robinson; and E. R. Robinson vs. the James A. Brady, Foundry Company, corporation, for $15,000,000 M. H. damages for infringement of said Robinson patents for making and selling car wheels throughout the United States, protected and covered by said Robinson patent. The records to be investigated for impeachment proceedings grow out of the suit of E. R. Robinson vs. the Chicago City Railway Co., a corporation, and the American Car and Foundry Company, a corporation, for $10,000,000 damages for infringement of said Robinson patent. Mr. Westbrook is a graduate of the John Marshall Law School, the best law school in Chicago, General Counsel of Chicago Defender and Universal Protective League and Vice-president of Cook County Bar Association. The argument that Messrs. Embs and Westbrook advance is as follows: The Argument. One thought or two on the fundamental laws of the United States as to man's first rights in the discovery of a new and useful invention. Under the United States constitution it is guaranteed to every citizen of the United States and territories thereof protection against any and all people for seventeen years—THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHTS. First-To make. RICHARD E. WESTBROOK, ESQ., Of the Chicago Illinois Bar. RICHARD E. WESTBROOK, ESQ, Of the Chicago Illinois Bar. Second—To Use. Third—To Sell. Fourth—To transfer to others to do Any persons in this United States and territories thereof, without first having a license from the patentee, is bound under the law and rules to pay over to the patentee, all the profits and gains that he has made between the old invention and the new inven- AND NOT A WORD AGAINST THIS!! NO-GOD IS NOT DEAD. We have entered this war that LIBERTY-JUSTICE HAPPINESS and EQUAL OPPORTUNITY shall be enjoyed by all the WORLD. Under the law the courts are bound to order the infringer to bring in his old books and new books in order that both parties may be justified by the law. The courts always heretofore have granted a restraining order or a temporary injunction in all cases in which a patent was involved until the proofs could be taken. That it is clearly shown by record that Dr. E. R. Robinson is the inventor of a mold that is fitted so the products that is makes come out of the mold perfectly round or square, in other words finished, when poured, which produces the best castings and wheels ever before known. All railroad companies and street car companies and machine companies and elevator companies have made the molds and cast wheels therefrom of all sizes for their own use without license for twenty-one years, after they were notified not to do so. The Hon. Judge Kohlsaat has been called into this matter and he has held the same ever since 1898 without any defendants denying their using or making the products covered and protected, and has refused to give a restraining order or temporary injunction or an injunction after the proofs had been taken, the same showing that defendants used it and nothing else. That the patentee has appeared before the court many times for a restraining order and the honorable judge has failed to find any fault of the said motion, and has found that infringement took place by the defendants, and still he denied the motion for an injunction and has refused to make a ruling so the higher courts would see his contention, for that reason the people have taken the matter in hand by calling a mass meeting and the said meeting has offered resolutions to be read in Congress of the United States WASHINGTON, D.C., SATURDAY, JULY 14, 1917 for the impeachment of the said judge, violating his oath of office, and that another judge will be appointed to carry out his ministerial duty in accordance with the law and rules of these United States and territories thereof. The record in this matter and the laws of Congress now impeach the honorable Judge C. C. Kohlsaat without an oral trial. DR. E. R. ROBINSON, Plaintiff. GEORGE W. ELLIS and R. WESTBROOK, Attorneys.

Feger have paid their enrollment fee to the National Association in advance. The local committee has already chartered the boat for the Saturday outing on the gulf. There are more than fifty pastors of the churches of the city who have already asked for visiting educators as speakers in their various churches on Sunday morning, July 29, and all have arranged to take their entire congregations to the Fair Grounds auditorium for the final address of the week by Doctor R. R. Moten, Principal of Tuskegee Institute. Indications are that Doctor Moten will speak to Ten Thousand people on this afternoon. THE LATE B. Y. M. C. A Division of The Spoils Repudiated. The last B. M. C. of G. W. O. of Odd Fellows that convened in this city some time ago and had everybody taxed with the understanding that all surplus money would be refunded to the people, met a few days ago, and after the payment of all expenses there was a little over three hundred dollars to be divided. It was moved that the money be divided among the officials of the committee. Every member of the committee voted for this proposition, except Mr. John W. Lewis, of the Industrial Savings Bank, who bitterly denounced the scheme and declined to accept the money that was voted for him. Mr. Lewis said that it was understood that all surplus money should be voted to the people who had subscribed. This admonition would not be listened to; so the money was divided among the officials.

JOHNSON INSTALLED. Martinaburg, W. Va., Baptists Listened to Eloquent Installation Sermon At Dudley Baptist Church. Martinsburg, W. Va.; July 7.—The people of Martinsburg and of the Dudley Baptist church were highly pleased and certainly uplifted spiritually by the coming of Dr. Jarvis. Sunday morning our gardens were made glad by a much needed shower, and the streets received a most welcomed bath thus refreshing the entire city externally. At eleven o'clock, the pastor introduced Rev. W. D. Jarvis, D.D., of Washington, his former pastor, who preached a grand sermon using as his text the 119th Psalm and the 94th verse,"I am thine; save me." His subject; Divine Ownership, divided into the following topics: His by Conquest, by Preservation, by Redemption, by Regeneration, and ending by citing the things from which we needed to be saved; strife, envy, malice, hatred, slander and back-sliding; so as the smiling gardens seemingly had stopped to listen and the streets taking on a refreshing look, so internally our hearts smiled up toward our owner and our expressions took on a cheered up appearance. Everybody went home rejoicing in the fact that he belongs to God. Work brings results whether in our physical fields of labor or in our christian endeavors. The pastor in his personal Sunday School campaigning has been able to gather in quite a harvest of young souls enlisted under the banner of the Sunday School. The Sunday School was largely attended. It was most gratifying to the pastor, and certainly didn't pass the notice and mention by the doctor. Trustee J. W. Corsey called the church to order at 8 o'clock sharp by announcing the program for the evening; after praise preliminaries, Deacon S. Elam welcomed the pastor in behalf of the Deacon Board, followed by Trustee J. L. Carter in behalf of Trustee Board; then followed the masterly discourse by Dr. Jarvis. The doctor was at his best and did justice, as he always can, to bath the theme god courage," and Joshua 13:1, "For and to the occasion, taking his text from Joshua 1:6, "Be strong and of there remaineth yet much land to be possessed." He dealt logically with his subject, emphasizing the needed strength of the minister, physically, mentally, hanging upon moral strength as of vast importance concluding the a-b-c-d of his argument by resorting to the spiritual side, and ending by exhorting the young minister to be of good courage amidst the many things that would confront him in this field of labor, and not only him but every true born child of God; for the harvest truly is great and many laborers are: in the field but yet there is much land for the church and for God to be possessed. Here Deacon Ashby Wesh in a few well-chosen words, presented the Bible, to which the pastor responded, assuring the church of his best God given talent. The choir deserves much praise for the earnest stick-together effort it is making, and we look forward to a higher perfection reached. Sister Johnson has given up much in a financial way to stand by the side of her husband in his work here, and God is blessing them. Doctor Jarvis was highly entertained by the pastor and his amiable wife at a most sumptuous spread directly after the morning service; and by Sister J. F. Carter in an after-service lunch; the following members of the congregation were present and enjoyed the good things set forth: Mr. and Mrs. J. W. Corsey; Messrs. Thos. Carter; J. F. Carter; Mrs. J. F. Carter; Revv. E. T. Johnson and wife, F. E. Johnson. A very pleasant night was growing old when all pressed forward to bid the doctor goodnight and pleasant rest at the home of one of our stauch members, Sister G. Sampson. After expressing himself as pleased with the city, pleased with the people, and pleased with the church and its grand possibilities, left the city Monday morning to be present at the Ministers Conference of which he is an executive as well as an honored member, and pastor of one of the best churches in the city of Washington. Long live this stauch God-fearing, peerless preacher. Sister Percy Fletcher is on the sick list. We wish for her a speedy recovery. Prof. F. R. Ramer is out again after suffering for more than a week with a very bad foot. Rev. J. R. Davis of Berkely Springshas joined the Christian Alliance, too, he has invited all the ministers of Martinsburg up on an outing August 13th. NOTICE! The Potomac River Baptist Association will convene with the Pleasant Grove Baptist Church, Charles County, Md., July 17, 20. All churches and ministers interested will please take notice. Rev. R. B.

Hopes to Sail Up the St Lawrence River by November, Completing Four Year Journey From Vancouver—Ship Karluk-Wrecked—Fourteen Members of Party Have Perished. Seattle, Wash.—The arrival in Greenland of the MacMillan expedition, which left New York in July, 1913, to explore Crocker Land and which reported that this supposed continent, whose mountain tops Rear Admiral Robert E. Peary believed he had seen in 1906, did not exist leaves Vilhjalmur Stefansson the only explorer in the Arctic seas. It is believed that Stefansson and his twenty-four white men and eighteen Eskimos already are or soon will be heading eastward for Melville island on board the motor vessel Polar Bear in an attempt to make the Northwest passage from the Pacific to the Atlantic ocean. Stefansson and his expedition left Victoria, B. C. on June 17, 1913, over PETER H. Photo by American Press Association. VILHJALMUB STEFANSSON. four years ago, in the steam whaler Karluk. At Nome, Alaska, the expedition was divided into northern and southern parties, Stefansson, on the Karluk, taking command of the former, which was to seek new land north of the mouth of the Mackenzie river, and Dr. Rudolph M. Anderson, with two small vessels, proceeding toward the Coronation gulf country, east of the Mackenzie delta, to make a geological, botanical and biological survey of the country, besides charting channels and studying the Eskimos, some of which are blue eyed, it is supposed, from an admixture of blood from the lost Scandinavian colony of Greenland. Dr. Anderson, who returned from the arctic in 1019, brought news that Stefansson purposed to pass the winter of 1016-17 at Winter Harbor, Melville island. It was his purpose as soon as the ice broke to head eastward with the Polar Bear in an effort to accomplish the northeast passage and end his adventures with an ascent of the St. Lawrence river to Montreal. Stefansson at last accounts had a large number of dogs and was in the best of health. In a letter to Rear Admiral Peary dated Cape Kellett, Banks island, Jan. 11, 1916, Stefansson said: "Should you not hear from us by November, 1917, it is to be presumed that something beyond our control has delayed us. I am of the opinion that in the spring of 1918 a ship or ships should be sent north from the Atlantic to look for us if we have not been heard from then." In this letter Stefansson expressed hope of co-operating with the MacMillan party in demonstrating the existence or nonexistence of Crocker Land. Fourteen men of the Canadian expedition have died from exposure, suicide and disease, twelve having perished on the ice on Wrangell island after the wreck of the Karuk. ONE MORE MONGOLIA VICTIM. New South Wales Legislator Dies in Bombay Hospital. Bombay, India.—A New South Wales legislator named Winchcombe, who was a passenger on the Peninsular and Oriental line steamship Mongolia, which sank with the loss of twenty-three passengers after, striking a mine on June 23 off Bombay, died in a hospital here. He suffered from exposure and overstrain in rowing toward shore. DEAD COW BRINGS HIM NICE PROFIT Topeka.—A cow that more than paid for itself was recently the possession of Dave Johnson of Republic, Kan. Johnson bought the animal, a 1,200 pound specimen, in 1895 for $15. The other day he sold the hide for $15.57, making 57 cents on his investment, besides having had the use of the cow for twenty-two years. FOR PROTECTION OF SHIPS. Owner's Seek Safeguarding of Merchant Vessels From Submarines. New York. After a series of meetings, attended by a number of the leading ship owners, shippers and underwriters in the United States, an association was formed to co-operate with the government in seeking devices for the protection of merchant ships against the submarine menace. The following resolution was adopted: Resolved, That a voluntary association be formed under the name of the "Submarine Defense association" to co-operate with the United States government in seeking devices for the protection of merchant ships against attack by submarines and particularly to bring to the attention of ship owners and underwriters devices which are then approved by the advisers of the government in other experts with a view to the earliest possible use of them as promise to value and protecting merchant ships against attack by submarines. Since the United States entered the war, many devices to protect ships have been suggested, and so far as they could do so the advisers of the government have considered these suggestions and have approved some of them. In so far as these devices have related to naval vessels or campaigns against the submarine, they could be considered only by the navy department. But devices have also been brought forward which may be found available for the protection of merchant and passenger ships. Many of these have been considered by the government, but in so far as privately owned vessels are concerned the government's action was mainly advisory in its nature. EX-CONVICT A HERO. Led Attack Which Inspired Whole Russian Division to Fight. Petrograd.-The hero of the army in the woody Carpathians is a former convict from Siberia, who, by his example, inspired an attack by forces which heretofore had obdurately refused to charge. The ex-convict, whose rank is sergeant, led fifty volunteers in a rush on a German blindage. The attacking party, confused by heavy fire, wavered, whereupon the sergeant alone climbed a breastwork and hurled a bomb among the enemy. Attacked by three Germans, he sabered and shot two of them. Then with only eighteen followers several strongly held blindages were rushed. This produced general panic among the enemy and resulted in the capture of many prisoners. The sergeant was promoted, to an officer's commission, two regiments invited him to take command, and the whole of his division resolved immediately to participate in an offensive. U BOATS WITH CUTTERS. Heavy Circular Knives Have Been Attached to Steel. Hawers. Base of the American Flotilla in British Waters.—The captain of a torpedoed merchantman has turned over to the naval authorities here a sketch of a new type of German submarine equipped with a wire cutting device designed to release it from nets. The sketch shows several strands of stout steel hawers stretched from the bow through the conning tower to the stern. Attached to these is a series of heavy circular knives a foot in diameter and placed about a yard apart. The captain made the drawing while in a small boat after his ship had been torpedoed. The theory of the captain is that a boat so equipped would have hope of being able to cut its way through any steel nets in which it might become enmeshed. ABSINTH UNDER CITY BAN. Health Board Forbids Manufacture or Sale of Cordial. New York.-The directors of the board of health passed an amendment to the sanitary code forbidding the manufacture or sale of absinth in this city. Dr. Haven Emerson, health commissioner, said that this action had been taken because absinth is a harmful adulterant. equivalent to a habit forming drug. Dr. Emerson gave out this analysis of the cordial: "Absinth ordinale contains 47.66 per cent of alcohol, the demi-fine 50 per cent and the fine 68 per cent. Absinth is composed of oils of wormwood, angelica, anise and marjoram. This combination is an intense poison rather than a tonic and an aid to digestion, as supposed by many." WORE LID IN COURT; FINED. Told to Remove Head Article, Thermopoulous Only Saluted. New York—His failure to remove a $1.50 hat in the men's night court cost Thomas Thermopoulous $5. He was seated among the spectators. A court attendant ordered him to remove his headgear. Instead, Thermopoulous saluted. The attendant repeated the order. The spectator's top cover remained firm. He walked out of the courtroom saluting. "Bring that man back and charge him with disorderly conduct," directed Magistrate Corrigan. Thermopoulous explained he thought the salute sufficient. The magistrate differed. Eat. English. Aprrows. Columbus, O. — "When starvation threatens eat English sparrows," advises Claude Meeker, a local broker. Meeker was emphatic in his assertion that the noisy little birds, after proper culinary treatment, are as well tasting as they are noisy. TOMMIES DO FARM WORK Glad to Spend Leisure From Trenches Cultivating Evacuated Land. Behind the British Lines in France. A special department attached to British headquarters has been created to superintend agricultural operations in the areas evacuated by the Germans. Work in the fields by soldiers, is largely voluntary. As details of soldiers leave the trenches for the rear they are invited to spend their leisure in agricultural work, which in the spring air and sun of France is one of the pleasantest recreations imaginable. Soldiers who who have once lived on a farm or done farm work "back home" generally jump at the opportunity, and many city men are eager to work in the fields, even preferring it to sports, such as football and field athletics. The soldier-farmers are well provided with horses, usually artillery or transport horses from the reserves. The British agricultural military staff has gone so far as to secure its soldier-farmers cultivators and machinery of British models which are familiar to them. Seeds and fertilizers are also provided in abundance. The army will cultivate something over 20,000 acres this year in the liberated Somme area alone. FIFTH SON TO UNCLE SAM. Charles Brickley, Football Star of Harvard, is One of Them. Boston.—Mrs. William J. Brickley, mother of the Harvard football star, has given four of her five sons, to the country, and says that as soon as the youngest is a little older he'll go too. William J. Brickley, Jr., the oldest son, is a yeoman at Commonwealth pier, South Boston; Charley Brickley, the second son, whose toe has won many a victory for the crimson team, is training with the Harvard reserve officers' corps; George Brickley has joined the medical reserve corps as hospital apprentice, and Joseph Brickley is in the army unit at Norwlch university. So much has been written about the athletic prowess of Charley Brickley that New Englanders to a certain extent have overlooked the ability of the other boys on the field and in the gymnasium. Especially has little been heard about Bill, the oldest son. The heavyweight champion of the naval reserves at Commonwealth pier issued a challenge the other day to all comers. The first acceptance was from Bill, and the bout was arranged. The mill was fast and furious and ended in Bill scoring'a knockout. FIND NEW SLACKER GAME. Federal Agents Believe "Farmers" Ought Not to Be Employed. New York.-A new "slacker" ruse was found when it was learned that federal agents have recently been investigating the payrolls of a number of farmers of Newtown, Flushing and Great Neck, N. Y. Certain farm hands are wanted who are supposed to receive $0 a week for playing golf and tennis and living on the farm. The farmers, it is said, have received compensation for "employing" young sons of the rich Long Island set, who believed that by registering as farmers they could escape conscription. The farmers, it is believed, have in certain cases given away their own game, for they got tired of "the young swells who didn't know the difference between a grub hook and a cultivator" and began to talk about their "employers." TO USE WIRELESS PHONE. Scientists Say It's Practical; and Even Aeroplanes May Converse. Washington.—Experiments with wireless telephony have proved its practical value to such an extent that it will be used by the navy in its war operations along with wireless telegraphy. A statement issued by the public information committee says that engineers and scientists working with officials of the navy in developing the wireless telephone have made "important progress," but does not go into details. The National Research Council and the Naval Consulting Board have devoted much attention to the subject, working on telephone communication with airplanes, new wireless methods and apparatus for detecting the presence of submarines. CORNELL MEN URGED TO WAR. Character Will Count, Pastor Says in Baccalaureate. Ithaca, N. Y.—"The nearer you come to the firing line the more will your character count," said the Rev. Charles Whitney Gilkey in Cornell's annual baccalaureate sermon. Dr. Gilkey was clad in his suit of khaki, having come from Fort Sheridan, Ill., where he is chaplain of the training camp. Only one-third of the university's senior class attended, the others being engaged in the war service. Dr. Gilkey said that the youths now in training camps had been moved to do their bit because every one else was doing his, that they had been quick to act because their nation called and that they would only find their real aim in this war after they had crossed the ocean. Flag Landed All Right. Mattoon, Ill.-A patriotic freak of a recent storm was the carrying of a flagpole from the home of G. M. Metcalf four blocks to the space swept clear of the home of Raymond Coon, where the staff was planted in the soft earth with the Stars and Stripes still flying. Skips Church and Tears Clothes From Man's Back—Earring For Calf. Wichita, Kan.—As is always the case, a recent tornado at Andale, south of here, did many freakish things. When it reached the edge of the block on which the Roman Catholic church is built in Andale it seemed to falter. It was headed straight toward the edifice and had wrecked everything in its pathway, but just before it reached the church it veered, passing to the east and leaving the church unscathed. Frank Helger was in an Andale restaurant, and when he came to after the blow he found himself in the street naked. He escaped unhurt. A timber was driven into a residence across the street from a garage. The garage was torn to bits, but the residence was not damaged. Beside the timber sticking into the wall was a pair of pilers, one prong of which had been driven into the wood. So completely were freight cars on the Missouri Pacific sliding wrecked that not a single figure or letter could be seen in the piles of debris. A calf on a farm northeast of Andale went through the storm, coming out with a small piece of timber through its ear. Mrs. William Finn, an invalid residing near Sedgwick, saw her home blown from over her head and her husband injured. She was not badly hurt and in the excitement walked to a neighbor's, the first steps she had taken in months. Mrs. John Helger ran from her home as the storm struck. She left a canary bird and a cat in the parlor. After the storm she found the canary hopping about on the floor around the cat, which was too badly frightened to bother the bird. WOUNDED OF FRANCE TO BE TREATED HERE Plan Formulated to Lessen Congestion In Hospitals Abroad. Preparations Under Way. Washington.—It was reported that French sick and wounded would be brought to the United States to lessen the congestion in French hospitals. Quarantine stations in all parts of the United States are being rapidly put into condition to handle these patients. The big problem to the health.service of the country, it was said, was to prevent the introduction of contagious diseases from abroad. The war in Europe is called by government medical experts here the melting pot of diseases. War, it was said, brings an extra strain and danger, and the perils from diseases become more menacing, than in peace time, owing to the fact that war brings longer hours of labor, harder work, less food, less clothing, less warmth and more nervous strain. The public health service is planning to extend its work in every part of the country and expects the co-operation of the people. It will seek to prevent the spread to the country of peculiarly urban diseases. In this connection it was remarked that before the civil war typhoid fever was a city disease. The civil war was characterized by epidemics of it, and ever since it has been a rural disease. Deaths from wounds outnumber deaths from disease in Europe, the first time in history that such has been the case. It was pointed out also that never has the health of any British troops, as an example of what modern medical science has accomplished, been better than that at the British army. Pauperism also has disappeared from England during the present war, and crowning the entire situation for the medical scientists is the enormous amount of research work that is being carried on. WILSON ASK'S MOVIES' AID. Brady Heads Committee to Assist Information Board. Washington. Organization of the motion picture industry for war service in co-operation with the committee on public information has been undertaken by William A. Brady, of New York at the request of President Wilson. Mr. Brady becomes chairman of a special federal committee appointed by the president and has pledged the support of the entire industry in America. In a letter asking the service the president wrote: "It is in my mind not only to bring the motion picture industry into fullest and most effective contact with the nation's needs, but to give some measure of official recognition to an increasingly important factor in the development of our national life. The film has come to rank as the very high medium for the dissemination of public intelligence, and since it speaks a universal language it lends itself importantly to the presentation of America's plans and purposes."

One Saved Himself by Making Parachute of Overcoat—Burning Ship Slipped Diagonally, Retaining, Sufficient Buoyanoy to Conaume Full Five Minutes In Downward Flight. London. — It is just disclosed that when Zeppelin L-48 was brought down in one of the eastern countries on June 17 one of its officers and two of its crew were found alive. The officer was uninjured. One of the men had both legs broken, besides internal injuries, and both were taken to a hospital apparently in a dying condition, but have since recovered. One of the survivors, it is reported, saved himself by making a parachute of his overcoat. Part. of the wreckage caught in a tree. This was at first thought to have broken the fall and saved. the men's lives, but a subsequent explanation is that the burning ship slipped diagonally through the air in falling, retaining sufficient buoyancy to consume a full five minutes in its downward flight. This is the first-occasion any survivors have been found of the crew of a Zeppelin brought down in flames. The ship was destroyed at a height estimated at 13,000 feet. A naval petty officer, who was one of the first to reach the burning wreckage, says: "Just as I jumped a hedge and started toward the Zeppelin I saw one of her crew walking toward me. He was a tall, clean shaven man, wearing a fur collared overcoat and thick boots and leggings. He was very pale and seemed terribly shaken. I called to him; and he came on. I pulled a piece of paper out of my pocket and made signs to him that I wanted any papers he might have, but he simply threw up his hands and shook his head. ```markdown ``` "I asked him how many men were on board the Zeppelin, and he held out his hands, with thumbs and fingers outstretched twice, which I took to mean twenty." WEALTHY WOMAN MINISTER. Countess Sophie Will Help Charitable and Social Institutions. Petrograd.-In a workman's blouse and a leather skirt Countess Sophie Panin has already taken up the office of assistant minister of social tutelage, a department of state with the function of administering the charitable and social institutions and also the care of children. The countess is the world's first woman minister. She is forty-five years old and wealthy. She resides in a palace, which she transformed into a people's house, a combination of recreation place and popular university. As an active worker of the Constitutional Democratic party the countess recently was elected a member of one of the newly created subdistricts. She declared that, her staff of officials will consist for the most part of women. She hopes that her appointment will be the signal for the transfer of social institutions in other countries into the hands of women. RAVEN CATCHES COINS. London Miserly Bird Seizes Money and Afterward Hides It. London.—Even a raven has his likes and dislikes. At the Cardiff barracks there is one sergeant for whom the bird (sent home by the Second Welsh regiment some years ago) bears a positive dislike. When the gentleman in khaki with three stripes comes along the raven retires with a hop, a skip and a jump to a safe, distance of twenty yards. When the sergeant moves off the raven returns to the spot he retreated from, but if his pet aversion should turn he gets ready to move off again. The dislike was evidently created by teasing, for the sergeant often gives the sable bird his dinner. The raven is very fond of playing with a coin. If a person drops, say, a shilling it is caught in the bird's beak before the coin can reach the ground. Then, having secured his money, the black old miser seeks an early opportunity to hide it. ENLISTED AS PRIVATE. Former Congressman Quickly Earned Remission to Bank of Cornwall. Detroit.-Edwin Denby, aged forty-seven, probably the most distinguished American to enlist in the ranks at the first call to arms, was promoted to the rank of corporal in the United States marine corps. Mr. Denby was a member of congress from 1904 to 1911, former president of the local board of commerce and a prominent attorney of this city. Corporal Denby, who is undergoing military training at Port Royal, S. C., headed the list in a competitive examination open to all members of his company. His enlistment as a private in the marine corps caused considerable comment when he expressed the belief that he could serve his country best as an enlisted man. Monahan Dies at 110 Years.

In our list of the cardinal sins, printed May 26, we named Individualism. Individualism is not a positive crime. It is a sort of negative sin, a sin of omission. More generally it is simply an attitude of mind. It is a mental strabismus. Individualism is specifically the opposite of good friend Friday, the black man. Here we see an example of applied individualism in its extremest form and collectivism in its simplest form. The one worked badly; the other worked well as far as it went. Individualism will be one of the most difficult diseases for the colored people to eradicate, because it is a mental disease. It is more pronounced in Washington than any other southern city. In the northern cities it is even more universal. The motto seems to be, "Every man for himself and the devil catch the hindmost." Wherever any class earns its main subsistence by jobbing and whose main income is wages and salaries; we always see individualism in its worst form and degree. The rule of animal life is collectivism. In the lower animal kingdom the ant and the bee have carried it to a high state of simple perfection. Man has carried it in some things to the greatest height and complexity, but not in perfection. A high degree of perfection in collectivism among any community of men is usually a mark of high civilization, and vice versa. Nature gave the bee a wonderful instinct, and apparently he does not have to learn his wisdom. Mankind is like an infant. It must learn everything. It forgets quick, and each generation must learn over again the simplest laws of nature and social truths. Different classes of mankind usually develop alike, or remain stationary alike, or retrograde alike. The American colored people are as a class the most conspicuous individualists of modern times. It is true that they are notably gregarious and mainly for purposes of pleasure. It is true that they have many church and society organizations, but the most of these are founded on pure self-interest—to escape hell, to provide sick benefit and burial funds, to afford social diversion, to facilitate log-rolling for favors, to provide offices and jobs, or to afford better opportunities for graft. Few, if any, of these organizations are based on the true communistic spirit, and few have any savor of altruism. The notion to help the other fellow is lacking or is secondary. There are several adequate reasons why in the past the colored Americans have been individualists in business. One reason is that they have been almost wholly wage or salary earners, and have had no occasion to co-operate in business. Another reason is that they have so often exploited and bit by leaders, opportunists and grafters of their own race. They have become skeptics; they are timid; they are doubtful whom they can trust in business affairs demanding sound methods and personal honor. The sum total result is that, although they have now reached a stage of education that makes them competent to enter into business along co-operative lines, and are desirous to do so, they simply do not And so we see a great host, in comparative poverty and need, standing on the border of the promised land of opportunity and wealth hesitating. "He, who hesitates is damned." lectivism of co-operation. The day of the individualist in large affairs is gone forever. Classes must now combine and work and fight as a single unit. This is notably a day of "big business." Though it has not reached the colored people to as great an extent ast he whites, yet they must face the fact. There are now many lines of manufactures and trades that can no longer be operated on a small scale with financial success. They require large aggregations of capital. It is true that in Washington City there are many lines of business that individual colored men and women could operate successfully, but even these require some initial capital and occasionally some commercial credit. mercial credit. How shall the colored people of Washington secure capital to set up factories, construction companies, department stores? How shall individuals, among them secure capital to set up small grocery stores, shoe repair shops, small notion stores, cleaning and repair shops? The answer is brief: Let the colored people of Washington supply the capital themselves. It must be done by co-operation. We will give some details of the plan in a future article. But the first step is to fight Individualism. This should be the first work of the proposed Commercial Exchange. Its first work will be educational, and to discover and push to the front competent and trustworthy men and women best fitted to lead and guide. The next main step will be to establish confidence-commercial credit. This can easily be done by establishing sound business methods, accurate book-keeping systematic auditing of accounts, and bonding officers who handle money. The Commercial Exchange should employ skilled business experts—white ones at first, if necessary—to advise and teach its members sound modern business methods. Exit Individualism; enter Co-operation. TO PRINCIPAL MOTON. If Principal Moton, of Tuskegee, would only append to his statements, and lynching enumerations given out to the public press the qualifying explanation: "For Southern consumption and edification," the colored people of the North might have less reason to find fault with him. His statement given to the public press on the East St. Louis wholesale murder of his people was, in the main, the strongest statement closing with a tribute to the South for, as he alleged, not having inflicted vengeance on the race for seeking economic betterment. Principal Moton, if he knows anything, knows that the East St. Louis murderous riot was but the harvesting of ripening seed sown by the South. Principal Moton knows, if he knows anything, that the presence of the Southern colored people in East St. Louis was the result of murder and repine, burnings and pillages committed by the white South against the race, and the denial to it of economic and civil betterment. Had the South been half fair with the colored people they would not be leaving there, as they are now, by the hundreds of thousands in an effort to better their condition. In many newspapers throughout the North, Principal Moton's periodical statement of the number of lynchings committed by whites in the South, in which colored people were the martyred victims, appeared the same day that the press carried the account of the awful riot in East St. Louis. That statement of the number of lynchings, for the past six months, devoid of comment, pro or con, appeared cowardly, apologetic, and carried the implied regret that there had not been a greater number of lynchings for him to chronicle. The late Dr. Booker T. Washington never in his early struggles, nor in the height of his achievements appeared the apologetic pacifis that Robert R. Moton assays to be. The late Dr. Washington while ever and always a pacifis was a sane one, and his utterances, and achievements showed that he never once abandoned the position that his race deserved, and was entitled to, and unqualifyingly asked a square deal; asked for equal rights as well as for equal opportunities to amass wealth. But is a matter of unbroke record that whenever a mediocre man has been elevated, by me who control his actions, to a high position formerly occupied by a man who was big, strong an effective for good, and unselfish so, such a mediocre's cours proved vacillating and hurtful the people he was supposed to represent. The Bee is desirous of seeing Tuskegee continue to accomplish the good its great founder built it to accomplish, and to continue to hold the approbation of the race, and for that reason advises Principal Moton, in the future, to qualify his vacillating, excusing statements, given to the public press, with this explanation: "For Southern consumption, and edification." The Bee bears Principal Moton no ill will, but it has a deeper interest in the success of its race than in the personal success of any medicore, white or black, North or South. MISUSE OF "HONORABLE." The common prefixing of Hon. to the name of Ton, Dick and Harry by a lot of colored toadists and sycophants is becoming disgusting. As soon as some colored man gets the appointment of dog-catchers, or some other position relatively higher, but no more honorable, he has prefixed to his name "Hon." When we picked up the white dailies and periodicals we find that the plain American "Mr." is used in speaking of President Wilson, ex-President Taft, Senator Lodge, and other high, important and able public officials, and to ex-President Roosevelt, "Colonel," because he earned that title in the Spanish banquet was given in this city to a distinguished, lovable and admired member of the race, and in glancing down the program that evening most of the subscribers around the banquet table discovered that a few individuals whose claim to distinction is that they have always been seeking office, or held office because some white man picked them for it, had the prefix "Hon." before their name, while the many, who paid the same assessment, and in many instances had accomplished more for the race than the gentlemen who were distinguished with "Hon." had to be satisfied with their names appearing without any prefix. We have seen the program of the dinner given the French and English and Italian envoys at New York, attended by a galaxy of distinguished men, but the prefix "Hon." was conspicuous by its omission. We have read newspaper accounts of White House dinners, and observed that "Hon." was not on the menu either as a consomme, an entre or as a distinguishable reservation for some guests. But at every Dutch lunch, chitterling feast, or by colored men, the printer, in setting up the names of the guests, is forced to exhaust his upper-case H's to prefix "Hon." to the names of all the dark-complexioned gormandizers. This "Hon." as a prefix for Tom, Dick and Harry has been a rule in Washington and elsewhere, more often here than elsewhere. The Bee thinks it is about time to discard "Hon." and give plain "Mr." a place in the line-up of players. EAST ST. LOUIS MOB. Stript of all frills, the East St. Louis riot was an economic manifestation. It refated mainly to bread and meat. "The world belongs to those who take," is a proposition as true as it is brutal and cynical. Whenever bread and meat is sharply the issue, christian morals and boasted civilization are temporarily laid aside. The worst calamities have their lessons, their timely warnings. This whole sad trouble relates to labor, to jobs, to job-hunting. Everywhere the poor colored people are simply hired men. They fled from intolerable conditions in the south. Some of them have jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. the trying put into the life. There can never be a real solution of such problems until the colored people adopt the advice of the Bee. We have been preaching some sort of commercial independence, some sort of industrial autonomy. Will not the colored people of Washington take heed? Do they imagine that they are secure here simply because this is the national capital? The only security is a healthy public sentiment and a strong arm. But these will be greatly aided by a degree of economic independence on the part of the colored people. Such independence will tend to avoid certain kinds of competition and consequently friction. Let us have more factories and other industrial enterprises of our own. Let us provide employment for more of our own laborers. As a starter, we should have in Washington one canning factory, one shirt factory, one paper-box factory, one envelope factory, one shoe factory, one pants factory, one can- HERE IT IS AT LAST! WHAT?

THE WASHINGTON TIMES. Roosevelt sitting on a platform with Gompers suggests that organized labor is responsible for the killing of colored men and women in East St. Louis. Gompers justly advised him to investigate first and accuse afterward. The women and girls in East St. Louis guilty of dragging defenseless colored women and colored children from the street cars were certainly not organized labor men. Let Mr. Roosevelt address capitalists that are willing to risk race riot and bloodshed if they can add a few dollars to dividends on their plants.—Editorial in the Washington Times, July 7, 1917. Here is a jumble of facts, allusions and innuendo. Pin the writer down and he could truthfully say that he had said nothing false or immoral. This is the typical way of the demagogue and mob leader. Mark Antony made a speech like that which sent the Roman Empire down the toboggan slide. The mob leader first tries to test the sentiment of the crowd by binds But the object of the Times editorial is transparent. Doubtless the colored people of Washington will make a note of it. Mr. Roosevelt was quite right. There had been a cursory investigation, a newspaper investigation and report. His charge of indictment followed. Under our judicial system the trial, the real investigation, follows the indictment. WRITE US. PRAYER MEETING. Five Thousand People Respond to Miss Borroughs' Call at Metropolitan Church.

If the prayer of the righteous prevails, it is hoped that the young men in the camp will be immortalized by posterity. The Bee wishes them all a long life and a safe return to their mothers and sweethearts. DIRECTOR RALPH SUSTAINED.

DAMAGED GOODS All Washington society turned out Monday night to greet the Quality Amusement Company in Damaged Goods this week at Howard Theatre. Monday night was a record-breaking night. This well-known drama is well known to the people of this city, not to the colored people however, because when this drama was presented at the white theatres colored people were either Jim-crowed or-not permitted to enter the theatre. Every participant in this play is popular with the people. Mrs. Abbie Mitchell, Miss Cleo Desmond, Walter Robinson, Wm. Babe Townsend and Andrew S.

If Anxious to Improve Your Hair and General Appearance Read This Carefully There are so many so-called hair growers on the market a large munber of hich are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding on what to use on your scalp be sure and get a remedy of proven merit. Seeby's Quinade is a highly medicated pomade that has stood the test of time. It is the invention of a New York chemist and is made under the personal supervision of a licensed pharmacist of many years' experience. many years. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. It makes the hair soft, smooth and glossy, and easy to put up in the style desired. To get the best results from the use of Quinade the scalp should be shampooed at regular intervals with Seeby's Quinascap. Quinascap is made entirely out of vegetable oils, principally coconut oil, and contains no animal fat of any kind. It lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. Quinsoap leaves the hair soft and fluffy, and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp, unqualified by any other shampoo. Do not accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby's Quinade and Seeby's Quinasoap asking for them by the full name.

Agents at Work For Several Weeks Recruiting In Wall Street District, Where Some of Meat Export Keymen Are Located—Plans Involve All Kinds of Signaling. New York.-Lieutenant Colonel Carl N. Hartmann, signal officer, eastern department, U. S. A., has announced the establishment of a signal corps training camp similar to that at Plattburg, to be located at Monmouth Park, near Long Branch, N. J. The United States government has leased 381 acres of land to be used as a training camp for the reserve battalions of the signal corps. This land has been acquired because of its adaptability for signal corps work, involving all kinds of sig- THE MASTER OF THE MILITARY UPPER, MAJOR ORPYCKE; LOWER, SIGNAL CORPS MAN, HELIOGRAPHING. nailing, telegraphy and maintenance of rapidly constructed lines of communication. The quartermaster's department will build a large cantonment, consisting of temporary barracks, kitchens, storehouses and everything necessary to promote the efficient training of the battalions, several of which have already been organized. The camp will be under the direct supervision of Lieutenant Colonel Hartmann, who will be assisted by other officers of the regular army. An intensive course of instructions will be given to both the officers and men of the signal corps, preparing them for service abroad in every phase of military life necessary to perform their interesting work on the battlefield and to keep up the traditions of the signal corps. Two telegraph battalions organized in New York city, one fr. Philadelphia and one from Buffalo, gracue, Albany and Baltimore district, composed largely of technical men, have been enlisted for the signal corps and are now ready for Monmouth park. Ten field battalions are in process of formation. The actual recruiting in New York city and vicinity is in the hands of Major Henry G. Qudycke, a veteran of the Spanish-Ame. can war, who operates under instructions from Lieutenant Colonel Hartmann, and a vigorous campaign of advertising and publicity is in process of formation. F. M. McClintic, an expert telegrapher, has been at work for several weeks recruiting in the Wall street district, where some of the country's most expert telegraphers are located. The signal corps has recently addressed a letter to presidents of colleges and universities asking their cooperation in a plan of instruction for telegraphers and prospective telegraphers. OLD: MORTGAGE DISCHARGED Frayed and Musty Document Was Negotiated Originally In Year 1820. Buffalo, N. Y.—A frayed and musty document, ninety-seven years old, negotiated originally in 1820, was discharged of record at the county clerk's office recently by Attorney M. C. Bartholomew. Indians held war councils in the wooded regions where West Falls now thrives in the times when Daniel Smith gave the mortgage to Abraham Smith for $450. Of course they are long dead, and their descendants felt that it was time the mortgage was taken off record. County Judge Laing granted an or der allowing the discharge. The mortgage was given on farm property. Mr Bartholomew stated it took considerable time to get the matter settled. INDIANS CLAIM HUGE SUM FROM GOVERNMENT Three Pacific Coast Tribes, Reviving Old Treaty, Ask $12,000,000. Marshfield, Ore.—On the spot where the treaty of Empire was signed Aug. 30, 1855, between the United States government and the coast Indians, including the Coos, Umpqus and Siuslaw tribes, the remnants of those aborigines met at Empire and sat in council to consider the settlement of their claims against the United States government. The council was called to provide a chief for the Indians of the tribes mentioned, the last recognized chief, Bob Burns, who was a Coos, having died five" or six years ago. Until the attempt by George Wasson, a Coos descendant and a graduate of Carlslea, to secure for the coastal tribes a settlement of their claims, there has been no apparent reason for a chief, for the remnants of the tribes were scattered and without concentration. When the treaty of Empire was dug from the dusty tomes of the Congressional library and department of the interior, congressmen who were fair minded toward Indian claims ordered an investigation, which, to be presented in legal form, demanded the election of a chief and credentials for the three tribes who were signatories to the treaty. The government after twenty years sent a special agent to their last government "corral" at Yachats to sign another treaty, but the Indians are insisting upon their rights under the original treaty. The claims set up by the three tribes represent something over $12,000,000. They believe that they can effect a settlement within the next two years. BORAH LOSES WATCH; PRESIDENT FINDS IT BORAH LOSES WATCH; PRESIDENT FINDS IT Washington. — Senator William E. Borah of Idaho lost his watch recently, and President Wilson found it. The senator was riding his horse in Rock Creek park when he looked at his watch, the present of Coeur d'Alene miners. Then he shoved it into the fob pocket of his riding breeches—or thought he did. When some time later he reached for the watch it was missing. Recalling the spot where he last had looked at it, he galloped back, dismounted and, leading his horse by the reins, scanned the bridle path. Just then President and Mrs. Wilson, attended by a cavalry sergeant, cantered up the path, and the president stopped when he saw the senator. "Lost anything, senator?" asked the president. "My watch." replied Borah. The president dismounted and joined in the search. After ten minutes he suggested that perhaps the senator had missed the fob pocket and that the watch had dropped inside his riding breeches. Sitting down on a log, the senator pulled off his right riding boot and found the watch. As the president turned to remount he said with whimsical blandness: "Why don't you wear a wrist watch, senator?" CENSUS FACTS SACRED. Detectives, Collectors and Relatives Turned Away Disappointed. New York.—Ever since the announcement was made that registration under the state military census law was practically complete the offices of the city director of census and the tabulating division have been the objective, points for private detectives, bill collectors and relatives looking for missing persons. No single item of information was given out nor will be, for the state officials say that all facts gathered by the census takers are sacred and beyond the reach of subpoenas. SHARK CAUGHT IN SOUND. Makes Hard Fight; but Goes to Chinese Cafe For Food. New London, Conn. — Sharks, that terrorized bathers along the Atlantic coast last summer, have reappeared this season. A seven foot man eater was towed into this harbor by the fishing smack Ellen. The big fish was caught in the trawling nets a short way out in Long Island sound. It was alive when brought here and put up a hard struggle before being landed. The shark was taken to a Chinese restaurant in Bank street, where it was utilized for food. Paris—Owing to the lack of material Germany's newest, highest powered aeroplanes are less reliable than the older ones, being equipped with smaller motors, because iron has been substituted for brass. This information comes from an aviator prisoner who was flying in a repaired English machine which had fallen behind the German lines. Col. C. C. Ballou, Who Has Charge of the Training Camp for Colored Officers, Delivered at the Dedicatory Exercises of the Army Y. M. C. A. at Fort Des Moines. From the Bystander, Des Moines, Ia., June 29 The army branch of the Y. M. C. A. has become almost a part of the army. Its usefulness has been so thoroughly demonstrated that there is never the slightest hesitancy on the part of any authority in affording it the fullest facilities for the discharge of its important functions. On the contrary, it is welcomed as a valuable assistant in the promotion of the contentment, sobriety and morality, and therefore of the discipline and efficiency of soldier. This importance is so fully recognized by me, and by my superiors, that I included the fact of the establishment of a Y. M. C. A. in connection with this training camp in my telegraphic reports to department and army headquarters. It is well that you, who are possible future officers of the army, should note the functions and results of this institution, and that both here and elsewhere you should contribute by every proper means to the development of its influence and success. And when you become responsible for the well being and efficiency of soldiers, bear in mind the methods and the results of the Y. M. C. A. This appears an opportune moment, though not strictly a suitable occasion, for referring briefly to the general plan of the big wheel of which this training camp is only one small snake. The apathetic attitude of our country regarding military preparedness resulted in our being found in a defenseless condition when we were forced to declare war against the greatest and most efficient military organization the world has ever known. With years of warning, we had made no adequate preparation, and then, all at once, we found ourselves called upon to raise, train, arm and equip a great army after war was actually upon us. It was a big order. The plans had however, been pretty well prepared, and work could begin when the necessary laws were enacted authorizing it. We are now well started on the first step contemplated in those plans, which was that of obtaining and training the material for officers for the first half million men. This half million would constitute sixteen divisions, and so the nited States was divided into sixteen areas of approximately equal population, and each of these areas was to furnish a division under the first call. But before a division can be even decently cared for in camp, let alone being trained, it must have competent officers, and our little force of regulars was too small to afford more than a leaven for the loaf. Therefore we must first raise and train officers, who would in turn train the new divisions. It is a significant fact that a great howl went up when it was learned that no army would be conscripted before September. Our people, many of them, seemed to have no least conception of the fact that the lives of fathers, brothers and sons would be dependent upon the intelligence, training and military skill and capacity of the officers who would teach them how to take care of themselves in camp and field, and whose skill as leaders would mean life or death in battle. They seemed to have the "million men raised in a night" idea, and could not comprehend the necessity for this delay. But the president understood. And so officers' training camps were instituted in each of the sixteen areas I have referred to, each camp being expected to produce at least enough officers for the division subsequently to be raised and trained there. Then came the question of the part the colored race was to play. Constituting more than ten per cent of our population, could we realize in it a national asset of ten per cent of the men we would call to arms? This would mean nearly fifty thousand under the first call. The existence of this camp proves that the superior authorities decided to utilize this asset in the fullest sense. The colored man would not only be drawn to fill the quota proportionate to his numbers, but would also be given an equal chance with the white man to prove his fitness for the exercise of the higher and more responsible dules of leadership and command. Whatever may have been in the minds of, those who made this decision' he result is that there was precipitated and centered in this training camp at Fort Des Moines the further decision as to whether or not the colored race is capable of successfully enduring this test of fitness for this most important duty of citizenship and franchise. Here are assembled representative colored men from east, west, north and south, to prove or to disprove their fitness for the responsible duties of command. These duties require more than patriotism and personal courage. They require extended technical military knowledge; trained judgment in handling men under the varying conditions of camp and field; high standards of truth and honor; exceptional qualifications as an instructor of soldiers and administrator of all the affairs upon which depend their contentment, health, discipline and military efficiency; and also that important and intangible quality that is expressed in the term "leadership." These qualities you must develop and possess if you are to command the confidence and best efforts of soldiers. They must see in you one who always looks out for the welfare of his men, and secures it, and the one who can be trusted to accomplish the maximum result with a minimum cost in life and limb. Physical, mental and moral strength; patience, endurance and courage; industry, alertness and obedience, are merely a few, of the attributes you must possess to attain success. You must learn all of a soldier's necessities as to food, clothing, arms, equipment, shelter and sanitation, and how to procure these for him, and teach him their use and care. 50c per week pays for this Grafonola Outfit Grafonola "25" and six double disc Record $29.50 House and Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts.

HOME GARDEN PLAN A BIG HIT IN JERSEY Remarkable Work Shown In. Putting Vacant Lots Under Cultivation. Trenton, N. J.—More than 25,000 persons in Jersey City have planted gardens, and the movement throughout New Jersey has gone to unprecedented proportions, according to reports made to Charles Lathrop Pack of Lakewood, president of the National Emergency Food Garden Commission. These reports are coming from various agencies which are keeping official tabs. In Hackensack 11,000 gardens have been planted; Camden, 10,000; Morristown, 1,800; Trenton, 2,000; Edgewater, 350; Lakewood, 633; Glassboro, 250; Netcong, 450; Westwood, 300; Sussex, 300; Hightown, 408; Rutherford, 250; Hopewell, 265; Washington, 260; Milford, 100; Hackettstown, 600; Point Pleasant, 500; Perth Amboy, 250; Carlstadt, 500. These are all the official reports so far turned in. In Newark the vacant lot committee members have set out 5,000 gardens, and the number in the whole city is unofficially estimated at 30,000. In Paterson 7,500 garden patches are under cultivation; in Elizabeth, 6,000; in the Oranges, 16,000; in Montclair, 6,000; in Atlantic City, 10,000 to 12,000; in Caldwell, 1,000; in Plainfield, 7,000. These are all unofficial estimates from local sources. In Camden the increase is 1,500 per cent; in Newark it is 1,400 per cent. School boards, civic clubs and women's organizations have promoted the campaign. The commission is furnishing to every community up to date advice on canning, drying and preserving. WAR SHOWS VALUE OF TUBERCULOSIS FIGHTS Hardships Have Brought France, Which Never Attacked Disease, 400,000 Cases. New York.—The war has added one more proof of the value of the English and American anti-tuberculosis, fresh air campaigns. While France is staggering under an almost unbearable load of 400,000 cases of tuberculosis, England has raised an army of 5,000,000 without any new or sudden tuberculosis problem such as that which has left France with her armies devitalized. Fresh air, out of door work and sports, open windows, good food, rest and treatment have kept England and America relatively free from tuberculosis. The French, who have almost entirely ignored the value of anti-tuberculosis campaigns, now find themselves with no facilities for caring for the thousands of new cases which the war has brought upon the country. French peasants have few windows and an almost ineradicable aversion to fresh air in the house. French doctors have only in a few cases given special attention to tuberculosis problems. At the outbreak of the war the well trained physicians of Great Britain eliminated from the army all those who had the faintest taint of tuberculosis. The lesson for America is written so all may read. Only through increased efforts against the white plague can the huge army which the United States must raise be kept free from the scourge which is weakening France. WOMAN CAN SHOOT. She is Eighty-nine Years of Age, but Put Herself Upon Record. Seattle, Wash.—Mrs. Helen E. Taylor, eighty-nine years old, walked into the headquarters of the National League For Women's Service in the Cobb building and said she wanted to register under the head of sharpshooter. "I am a woman experienced in service for my country in war as well as in peace," she said. "I can qualify for nurse, cook or sharpshooter. I can hit the bullseye as often as most men and know how to handle a rifle." The registry revealed that Mrs. Taylor was born in East Durham, Greene county, N. Y. Her husband was killed in the civil war. She came to Washington twenty years ago and lives at Ballard. She taught school for a few months when she was fifteen years old, she has worked as a nurse, is an experienced horsewoman and can hold the reins over a four horse team.

Never before in the history of the capital have so many hotels kept open year round as is seen this summer. Washington has surprised all of the old timers on hotel and restaurant business and the weather has been exceptionally moderate to welcome the summer guests to the hotels of the nations' capital. Mr. Thomas Bryant, formally of Boston and Jacksonville and at one time captain at the New Ebbitt, while in Washington on his vacation visited many of his old friends. Mr. John J. Ruffin, manager for Hotel Dale at Cape May, N. J., was the guest of Mr. and Mrs. Bishop in Philadelphia last week. Mr. Leon D. Mitchell, formerly connected with the Senate Restaurant is now located at 429 Lemon Ave, New York City. During the White Elks convention in Boston this week, over 300 waiters walked out of the hotels of Boston, causing the guests to eat in nearly beaveries, the hotels refused the strikers demand of 63 cents additional pay per week. ALEXANDRIA, VA., NUGGETS. Sunday, July 1st, was a glorious day at Ebenezer Baptist Church. This being our communion service day, the pastor, Rev Dr. C. H.

This service was closed with a collection of $47.50. We are getting on as never before in the history of the church, under the leadership of our pastor,'Rev O. H. Wood. If you are spiritually dead and need life, stop by Ebenezer Baptist—you'll either come to life or remain as you are—one or the other. Pray for us. We had with us Rev. Mr. Gooch of Florida Ave. Baptist Church, and Bro. Stokes and Hill. The brethren who are looking for work will find in this city two vacant pulpits—Buelah Baptist and Shiloh Baptist churches. Any brother feeling that the Lord has called him to build up churches will find here a splendid chance to try his hand, and especially so if he is a Gospel preacher from a spiritual standpoint and can draw the people to him.
