IF IT'S NEWS, IT'S IN THE BEE, FOR THE BEE IS A NEWSPAPER. THE BEE Washington's Best and Leading Negro Newspaper-That's THE BEE WASHINGTON NEGROES PROTEST NEGRO SILENT PROTEST PARADE. The executive committee of the Negro Silent Protest Parade which held such a wonderful and epoch-making parade on Fifth Avenue, New York on Saturday, July 28, were in the city last Wednesday to present a petition for redress of grievances to the President and the Congress of the United States. the United States which was held in New York was the most remarkable demonstration ever made of negroes; about 15,000 men, women and children took part. The members of the committee were; Rev F. A. Cullen; Rev Charles D. Martin; Mr. John E. Nall; Mr. Fred R. Moore; Mr. Isaac B. Miller; Dr. D. I. Hoage; Rev George B. Miller; Mr. A. B. Cosey; Dr. W. E. B. DuBois; Rev A. Clayton Powell; Rev William P. Hays; M. M. C. Layton; Mme. C. J. Kirkpatrick; Rev E. W. Daniel; Rev C. J. W. Brown and Mr. Jas Johnson. Woolton The following extract is taken from one of the circulars that was sent every colored family in the city of New York by direction of the able president of the Negro Silent Protest Parade, Rev. Dr. Hutchens C. Bishop: Order of March. The children will lead the parade, followed by the women in white, while the men will bring up the rear. The laborer, the professional man—all classes of the race—will march on foot to the beating of muffled drums. The native born, the foreign born, united by ties of blood and color, all owing allegiance to the mother of races will parade silently with the flags of America, England; Haiti and Liberia. You must be in line. Why Do We March? We march because by the grace of God and the force of truth, the dangerous, hampering walls of prejudice and inhuman injustices must fall. We march because we want to make impossible a repetition of Waco, Memphis and East St. Louis, by rousing the conscience of the country and bring the murderers of our brothers, sisters and innocent children to justice. We march because we deem it a crime to be silent in the face of such barbaric acts. We march because we are thoroughly opposed to Jim-Crow cars, etc, segregation, discrimination, disfranchisement, LYNCHING and the host of evils that are forced upon us. It is time that the spirit of Christ should be manifested in the making and execution of laws. We march because we want our children to live in a better land and enjoy fairer conditions than have fallen to our lot: We march in memory of our butchered dead, the massacre of the honest toilers who were removing the reproach of laziness and thriftlessness hurled at the entire race. They died to prove our worthiness to live. We live in spite of death shadowing us and ours. We prosper in the face of the most unwarranted and illegal oppression. We march because the growing consciousness and solidarity of race coupled with sorrow and discrimination have made us one; a union that may never be dissolved in spite of shallow-brained agitators, scheming pundits and political tricksters who secure a fleeting popularity and uncertain financial support by promoting the disunion of a people who ought to consider themselves as one. Be in line on Saturday and show that you have not become callous to the sorrows of your race. May God the sofrew STATE OF MINDO BANK INDUSTRIAL SAVINGS BANK.

From Des Moines News, July 22, 1917. To the average American citizen, the entrance of this country into the world war spells tragedy, but to the 1200 negroes at Fort Des Moines, undergoing training to become army officers, this same war has opened the door of opportunity. For the first time the negro is to be given a chance to prove his capacity for military leadership, and he is making the most of it. The thing-that soon impresses the visitor to the camp is the intensity with which the men enter into the work. As R. B. De Frantz, secretary of the colored Y. M. C. A. at the fort, expresses it: Every man feels that he must make good; not for himself alone, but for his country and race. Who Started Move. The idea of a negro training camp was first advanced by a white man, Joel E. Spinerm, president of the National Association for the Advancement of the Colored Race. It was taken up and pushed by several negro organizations, including a committee of 100, headed by Rev. J. Milton Waldron of Washington, D. C. Dr. George W. Cabaniss, also of Washington, who was chairman of the publicity committee, is at the training camp doing volunteer service with the army Y. M. C. A. Because of his age, he is not taking training, but it is possible that he will take the examination to qualify him for medical work at some cantonment. Deserves Credit Doctor Cabanis was one of the committee of five, who, thrue the agency of Secretary Tumulty, succeed in getting the matter before the president at a critical juncture, and deserves no small credit for the establishment of the negro training camp at Fort Des Molnes. Other at the camp who helped to overcome the strong opposition of the War. Department are Prof. Thomas A. Gregory, chairman of the national committee of negro college men, and E. Benjamin Curley, secretary of the same organization. It was up to the advocates of the camp to prove that they could get a sufficient number of negroes of the right caliber to justify its establishment, and they succeeded. That they have not failed in their promises is shown by the fact that there are at least 600 college and university men at the camp, in addition to successful business men who have not had college training. Send 200 Students. Howard University of Washington, D. C, has sent 200 students and 100 members of its alumni to the camp, and university men from almost every state north of the Mason and Dixon line are to be found. Harvard is represented by 15 or 20 graduates. A dozen university instructors are taking training and physicians, lawyers and dentists are in every company. But to secure so many representatives of the highest type of the race much sacrifice has been necessary. Most of these men have given up well established professional and business careers as well as home and family. Doctor Ward Trains Here. A typical example is that of Dr. Joseph H. Ward of Indianapolis, Ind., who left his wife and two children, a profitable medical practice, and his patriotic reasons alone. Doctor Ward, who is 44 years of age, has practiced surgery for 18 years, has been city school inspector in Indianapolis for eight years, and is chairman of the finance committee of the Indianapolis branch of the Y. M. C. A., the foremost organization of its kind in the world. "This is a history making period and I want to be connected with it," was the simple explanation offered by Doctor Ward for giving up a life of comparative ease to toll with pick and shovel on the rifle range and take long hikes under a b lily sun. The work has been very hard for many of the civilian negroes but they are gradually getting hardened to it. Col. C. B. C. Callou, the officer in charge, gives the been 10 hours' work a day, and most of the evenings are devoted to study. A baseball league and a motion picture machine furnish recreation for the men. Picture shows are given Saturday and Sunday evenings. In addition to the civilians, many of the negroes at the camp have seen service, some in Mexico and some in the Philippines. One man, W. Bazil, spent 12 years in the British army, going thru the Boer and Ashantie wars in Africa. Colonel Ballou is pleased with the progress made by the men and their amenableity to discipline. Theo the camp has been established but three weeks, he does not hesitate to say: "A large number of these men will make officers." Rev. W. Bishop Johnson Dead. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, formerly pastor of the Second Baptist Church, died at the Freedman's Hospital Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock. Rev. Johnson was one of the foremost Baptist ministers in the United States. He is the author of several well-written books. pearl (iT WAS TOO SUDDEN FOR EVEN.

This is surely a critical, a supreme moment in the history of the American people and the dictates of statesmanship must regard as the wildest folly, in these uncertain days, any failure to call to the strictest account these evil and pernicious forces which in their very nature strike at the very spirit that ought now be fostered. Any voluntary movement, any deliberate demonstration, calculated to afront or weaken, or disrupt this spirit of unity and resolution on the part of any of the element of our citizenship, whatever the motive or intent, remains none the less an act of the direst treachery to the American cause; to leave at large the criminals responsible for such conduct, not only encourages them to go on spreading their evil iniquity but, what is worse invites others, elsewhere, with like propensities, to indulge with contempt and impunity in their fiendish bobbles. Detroit, Mich., July The importance and seriousness of the East St. Louis riots are accentuated by the state of war in which our nation is now involved. In such a circumstance it is only wisdom and good sense to view matters in their true light and meaning. This is more than an affair of ordinary expediency; it is a matter of the plain duty and straight from the shoulder patrolism. riotism. At a time when the American people are face to face with the perils and horrors of a mighty world conflict, whose ultimate outcome none can now faithfully predict, it is of the highest importance that a unity and resoluteness of spirit prevaile every element of our cosmopolitan citizenship. The highest considerations of patriotism demand that every element so deport and conduct itself as to promote and sustain that spirit of unity and resolution on the part of the whole group of our body politic. This, after all, is nothing more or less than that spirit of Nationalism which our most earnest statesmen, past and present, have striven to have the great body or our citizenship cultivate. It is this spirit that is holding the German Empire intact, this spirit upon which depend the future of Russian Democracy, this spirit that determines the conduct and measures Hundreds of Colored Americans Killed and Wounded—Representative of the National Advancement of Colored People Relates the Story. When the first troubles in East St. Louis became public late in May the N. A. C. A. P. recognized that this was something of the utmost importance. East St. Louis is one of the great centers, whither the migration of at least a quarter of a million.Negroes has set. It was therefore of the utmost importance to understand any troubles that might arise and to ward them off possible. We recognized the strong interest that various people South and North had in stopping Negro.migration and discouraging the emancipation of black serf. the black. Before, however, our representative could get to East St Louis, the terrible riot of July 2 had taken place. A hundred or more Negroes were killed, scores of homes and property destroyed, and six thousand refugees crossed the bride into St. Louis. The St. Louis Branch of the N. A. A. C. P immediately began relief work. Our members, prominent in professions and in business, for nearly ten days gave almost their entire time to the succor of the victims. A mass meeting was called and a special committee appointed. Contributions came from as far as Kansas City and Chicago and some $400 or $500 was immediately collected. The Association worked in conjunction with the white Red Cross and with other colored individuals in the city. The Municipal Lodging House was opened and hundreds of individuals' homes. hundreds of miles. Immediate steps were taken to prepare legal cases against the city and county. The Legal Committee of the Association held open doors and hundreds of declarations of losses were received by Attorney Phillips. Dr. W. P. Curtis and others gave much time to the wounds of the victims. From the National Office, Dr. Du'Bois was sent to make a thorough study of the situation, and Miss Martha Gruening to inquire into the attitude of thq employers and labor unions. players and Dr. Du Bois organized a force of twenty-five volunteer workers and five paid workers. Chancellor Lloyd of the Knights of Pythias kindly don- dated the parliars of the Phythian Hall, and Dr. Curtis donated an on- line Market Street. Clerks were installed and the stories of nearly two hundred victims carefully taken down. Detailed statistics covering fifteen hundred of the refugees were also compiled. Visits were made to the various se- ctions of East St. Louis and to the colo- red settlements of Brooklyn and Nati- onal City. Several meetings of the executive committee of the Branch were held and one mass meeting of citizens which overflowed the bea- tiful Presbyterian. Church on Pine Street. Every effort was made to cooperate with churches and other organizations with notable success. We also got in touch with leading white citizens like ex-Secretary Nagle and Mr. C. M. Hubbard and Miss Pulliam on the Red Cross. of the Red Cross. The Chicago Branch contributed $200 to the relief funds and also under Judge Brown, is preparing to give legal aid to the prosecution of the county and city. It will be remembered that Illinois has two statutes which bear upon this riot, first an "Act to denify the owners of property for damages caused by mobs and riots," passed in 1887, and the other, an "Act to suppress mob violence," approved in 1905. The Association, through its National office and through the Chicago and St. Louis Branches, proposes to leave no stone unturned to bring justice the guilty perpetrators of the East St. Louis outrage. The St. Louis Branch is still active the investigations of the National Office are proceeding, and the Washington Branch is pushing the resolutions for investigation introduced by Congressman Dyer and Dallinger and Senator Sherman. All members and friends of the race are urged to write to their Congressmen demanding passage of these resolutions which are H. J. Res. 118, H. J. 134, and S. Con. Res. 10. Res, 124, and S. Conn. Res. Detailed stories of the truth about East St. Louis will appear shortly in various magazines and in the CRISIS. Persons who are convinced by our experience in East St. Louis and elsewhere that a national fighting body of this sort is absolutely indispensable are urged to join the. Association and to contribute to our Anti-Dynching and Anti-Mob-Violence Fund. A check for $100 has been received from the Knights of Pythias of the Grand Jurisdiction of Illinois other contributions have been sent by various organizations and individuals Literature and information may be had by writing to James W. Johnson Acting Secretary, Room 518, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York. NATION'S OUTRAGE. Democracy a Sham—The People Speak and Condemn Wrong. October 9, 1917 In the seventeen years of its existence the National Negro Business League has brought to the surface to the notice of the world, untold numbers of worthy, energetic and successful men and women. It was always Dr. Washington's delight to discover struggling, earnest and forward-looking men and women wherever they might be found. Mr. Emmett J. Scott is still at the helm. Without him the meeting would be like a ship without a rudder. Always calm, cool and collected, he is never at a loss to tell the League where it is, or what is before it—what is next to be done. He is a living and a breathing encyclopedia of the League's history. To witness his orderly methods and smooth manner of dispatching business is worth a trip to Chattanooga for any young man who wishes to find a model by which he may mold a career of usefulness.

And the unanimity with which they express their determination to make the Chattanooga meeting a record-breaker and a great success is remarkable. is remargue. No more emphatic indication could be found of the unswerving loyalty and devotion to our late leader, organizer and president than the purpose expressed by letter, by telegram and by telephone from the officials of the League to make it what Booker T. Washington intended "it should be—the greatest and most useful organization among. Negroes in the world. It should be the Negro's National Board of Trade and Chamber of Commerce. of Commerce. That the National Negro Business League, with all of its affiliated substantial earnest level-headed men and women of the race than any other organization, will not be disputed by any one. We are entering this world conflict with the avowed purpose of making the world safe for Democracy. A grand purpose, a most noble ideal, one that every red-blooded American must cherish. But in the face of the inhuman outrage perpetrated at East St. Louis, not upon assailants in self-defence, not upon criminals in punishment for crime, not upon law-breakers, not after rational prevocation, not merely upon sturdy men, but upon unprotected women and helpless children, upon the unsuspected and unsuspecting upon the unawares going on their daily business, men murdered, women maimed, children burned,—all this in compliance with deliberate, planned, determined policy of molestation, if not in defiance of law with absolutely no respect for any law civil or moral—I say, in the face of these outrages, even the unrefective are forced to ask, "HOW FAR DEED IS DEMOCRACY SAFE AGAINST THE SCOURGE OF HER MORE-DEADLY INTERNAL FOES TO LAW AND ORDER AND THOSENACRED PRINCIPLES OF HUMANITY WE ALL AVOWEDLY HOLD TO BE INVIOLATE AND INVIOLATE ABLE? According to press account the East St. Louis riots, in brutality, in cowardice, in viciousness, in flendish iniquity, outstrips everything in the whole of like outrage throughout the whole history of mob-violence in the South. The better classes of the white race, North and South, felt outraged and horrorstricken over the Atlanta riots in their revelation of the extremities to which the baser passions of their lower classes could be stretched. How much deeper then must be their pain and anxiety over East St. Louis savagery. Happening as this did in the great State of Illinois with its noble history and traditions, with its great system of education, there must inevitably come to white and black alike the query "WHERE NEXT MUST WE EXPECT THIS EVIL SPIRIT TO CROP OUT OR WHERE MAY WE NOT EXPECT TO FIND IT?" This question must come to every colored American with all the force of the law of self-preservation and to every white American with all the strength of the light of reason and religion. This is a matter of deepest human concern. It is as vital as life itself. If men can not go to sections that offer more fruit for their toll, better prospects for their children, larger and deeper living for their families, without running the risk of being slaughtered by wholesale by a band of degenerate outlaws, "PRAY WHITHER MUST THEY LOOK FOR 'LIFE, LIBERTY, AND THE PUR HAPPINESS?" SUIT OF HAPPINESS For these reasons, we hope that those, in whose hands lies the power and in whose authority lie the trust and the duty to bring to a stop these inhumanities, will see the light as God has given them to see it and will act in the highest spirit of patriotism and manhood.

Brief Bits of News and Comments On Men and Measures. SOCIAL WORK OF TWO RACES. Corporation of Whites and Blacks Discussed With a View to Advancing the Interest of All Classes. Hampton, Va.-What social service really needs to be rendered? How can we best do our common work? How can we learn of one another? How can we gain better racial co-operation? These questions were recently discussed frankly and sympathetically, when some 20 white, southern secretaries of charities and correction (or social workers) met a group of representative colored social workers, in an informal conference on racial cooperation, during the Pittsburgh meeting of the National Conference of Charities and Correction. of Charles W. Miss Margaret Laing, of Columbia, S. C., who was directly responsible for the conference, stated that the social service work for colored people in Columbia, S. C., originated through the efforts of a white university student who had received his inspiration from Prof. Joseph Morse, a firm believer in the Negro's self- reliance, whose service on the university commission on the southern race question is widely known and respected. Miss Laing has found that colored workers take more interest in social cases than can white workers. Dean George W. Cook, of Howard University, an experienced worker, declared that the idea of race co-operation must prevail. "White and colored people can work together on social service boards. Through the south, including Washington City, mixed boards have been and are doing fine social uplift work. Christian charity demands that more should be done for Negroes, whose wage scale is low compared with that of whites doing similar work." NEWHOME "I'll get it for my wife" NO OTHER LIKE IT.

In This Crisis Confronting the United States Every Women's Organization Should Co-operate For National Service and Every Woman Remember That It's Teamwork That Wins. New York.—Hats off to the women who cheerfully bear the stress and burden of the day while the men, whose places they take in workshop and field, are fighting somewhere on the long battle front in Europe for home and country, says Natalie Sumner Lincoln of the Virginian. If you go to England today you are just on the quay at every port by women; your luggage is handled by women; you see women stevedores lifting and moving heavy cargoes; you drive in taxicabs run by women; you board a tramcar driven by women; a woman bellhop carries your vallse; a woman clerk registers you in hotels; a woman runs the "lift." If you visit a "pub" a woman waits on you; if you inspect factories you see women working everywhere, and the managers tell you that women have improved the output 90 per cent. A tour into the country shows women at work in the fields—sowing and reaping the harvest which enables the British government to furnish food to its fighting forces. Such is the modern interpretation of "Amazon"—women are now the driving force behind the every day duties which confront conditions at home when the country is at war. But Englishwomen were slow in becoming the efficient body they are today. Upon England's declaration of war with Germany women volunteered by thousands for service, but many for the same service, and it was months before women realized that to be efficient and of practical assistance to their country they had to subordinate their desires and individualities to the common weal and accept the service assigned them. There is one word which gives the cue to women's success in England and France—teamwork. American women should heed England's experience. Don't all volunteer for the same line of work, but all, do the work nearest at hand. And if an American woman finds that in the government work assigned to her she is a round peg in a square hole she must never complain, but square-her shoulders and go to it. In this crisis confronting the United States every women's organization should co-operate for national service and every woman remember the word teamwork. It is teamwork that wins.

Butte, Mont.-Ethan Allen, a direct descendant of the original Ethan Allen of Fort Ticonderoga fame, was accepted for enlistment in the United States marine corps here. He has been principal of a school in this state for the last three years and has also taught in Ohio and North Dakota. Allen's enlistment recalls the early days of American history, when Fort Ticonderoga was held in turn by the French and British until finally captured by his illustrious ancestor in 1775. It is another reminder of the wiping out of old differences between nations, happily now serving together against a common enemy. AVIATION STUDENT BROWNED. Brooklyn Man Falls With Plane Into Delaware River. Wilmington, Del.—Allen Ashley Smith, twenty-five years old, of Brooklyn, a student at the aviation school maintained by the Du-Pont Powder company at Claymont, Del., was drowned in the Delaware river when the airplane in which he was flying fell into the river near Marcus Hook, Ps. It was to have been Smith's last day in the training course for an aviator's license. Plums Canned Twenty-one Years. Abilene, Kan.—Plums that were canned twenty-one years ago were served at the wedding of their granddaughter, Miss Wisman, by Mr. and Mrs. T. F. Whiteley of Abilene. The plums were canned soon after Miss Wisman was born. They were placed in a two quart glass jar. HUNT SUNKEN GOLD. Californiane Fit Out Expedition to Re- cover Long Lost Treasure. Oakland, Cal.-Gold bullion contained in strong boxes, on the long lost Brother Jonathan, which was wrecked off the Mendocino coast, is the quest of, an expedition headed by Martin Lund, which went up the coast from San Francisco bay in Lund's forty ton gasoline freighter the President. Until Lund, and his associates, consisting of a diver and eight men, had outfitted at Sausalito and their vessel was towed to sea by a steam schooner they managed to guard their secret. It has become known, however, that they will attempt to raise the sunken treasure ship Brother Jonathan, which for many years had been regarded as a total loss. When the Jonathan was wrecked she was southbound from the northern gold country with a fortune in her strong boxes. The exact position of the vessel was undetermined, but Lund stated that he had the proper position and hoped to salvage the gold. Tackle, equipment and supplies; together with the machinery necessary to lift the gold bullion from the depths, were taken aboard the freighter. Lund hinted that the Brother Jonathan was only one out of three possible objectives. It is believed that some of the crew have been taken into Lund's confidence and are to share in the gold if it is recovered. COOP TO TABLE QUICK. Caught, Killed and Cooked Hen In Less Than Five Minutes. Philadelphia.—George Budcliffe holds the record for being the champion chicken chaser and cooker of Philadelphia. To prove his superiority over other contestants he caught, killed, cleaned and cooked a fowl in four minutes and 85 seconds. It cost one of the patrons of the restaurant in which he is lord of the range $10, but it was worth it. The patron asked for fried chicken, and George brought it in in ten minutes, crisp and browned to a turn. "Dat's suitingly good time," said the diner. "Good, time nuffin," replied George. "I can do the trick in five minutes flat." The money was put up, and George slapped a piece of lard in the frying pan, and while the grease was heating he just naturally mobilized that chicken, choked it to death, turned it inside out, substructed its interior and tossed it in the pan. Clockers timed him at 4 minutes 35 seconds. HUGE PROFIT IN COINS. Men Who Invested In Pioneers' Society Sale Made Money. San Francisco.-Two local business men who bought a collection of 2,000 old coins from the Society of California Ploneers for $8,000 and recently sold two of these for $10,000, with the expectation of realizing approximately $50,000 more on the remainder, have created something of a sensation among the Ploneers as a result of the speculation. The Ploneer society had for years kept its coin collection in glass cases in the United States mint here, where thousands of persons have viewed it. Six months ago Secretary McAdoo of the treasury department wanted more room in the building and ordered the collection taken out. It was explained at the office of the society that it was deemed best to sell the collection for $8,000 rather than move it into its building, with watchmen, insurance and other expenses. WALKS MILES TO ENLIST. Man From Iowa Joins the North Dakota National Guard. Dickinson, N. D.—Robert Ryan of Cedar Rapids, Ia., joined Company K of the North Dakota national guard here the other day after. a hiket of 124 miles, which he said would put him in shape to begin active service. Ryan was at Glendive, Mont., when he decided to enter the federal service. Ryan took an account of his funds and decided to walk to the recruiting station rather than ride. When he arrived he was given his physical examination and immediately accepted and sent on his way to Fort Lincoln to join his company. He averaged thirty-one miles a day, making the trip from Glendive to Dickinson in four days. DOG SAVES OWN LIFE. Doomed to Take Gas Route, Designat- ed Official Watchdog of Pound. ed Officers Watchdog or Pound. Los Angeles, Cal.-Fannie, a stray collie, doomed to take the gas route at the city pound, won life and a home for herself the other day. While Human Animal Inspector Wilson was replying his auto the dog, which because of evident refinement, of breeding had been given the liberty of the yard, dashed up to him, barked repeatedly and pulled up his coat. Inspector Wilson finally followed Fannie, only to discover the cookhouse in flames. The blaze was quickly extinguished. Fannie was presented with a collar and a ribbon and at the same time was designated official watchdog of the pound. Centralia, Win-Merritt Baker of Ford's Prairie has been too ill this spring to put in his crops. The outlook was not very promising until recently when a number of his neighbors took charge of the affair. They plowed put in the crops, trimmed the barry bushes and left everything in good shape for Mr. Baker to take hold as his strength gained. HONORED BY CHINA Battling Aviator Lufbery Awarded an Oriental Decoration. Premier Air Fighter In Lafayette Escadrille Officially Credited With Destroying Ten German Airplanes and Having Actually Shot Down Sixteen. Tunio Liberally Decorated. Paris.—Victor Raoul Givas Lufbery, second lieutenant in the French army and premier aviator in the Lafayette escadrille, being officially credited with destroying ten German airplanes and having actually shot down sixteen, is entitled to wear one other medal beside the Legion d'Honneur, Medalle Militaire, Croix d Guerre with four palms and British military medal, which he carries on the breast of his khaki tunic. He is the holder of a Chinese medal with a length, unpronounceable name given to him before the war when, with Marc Pourre, a pioneer French Photo by American Press Association: LIEUTENANT LUFDERY. aviator, he went to Indo-China and then to China and flew in the principal cities there. This particular Chinese medal, which is in the form of a heavy gold slug, larger than a twenty dollar gold piece, and attached to a yellow and purple ribbon, entitles the wearer to the services of eight servants, all of whose wages are paid by the Chinese government at any time, when the carrier of the insignia is on Chinese soil. "No; I haven't been, wearing my Chinese medal during the war," said Lufbery, "but if China comes in as an ally I suppose I will wear it. The trouble is it's so heavy that I'm afraid it will make me round shouldered." Before the war Lufbery lived in Wallingford, Conn., and his father still resides there. He has a brother in the French infantry and another in the artillery. He began in the French army as a mechanician and then was attached to the original American escadrille as a mechanic's helper. His qualifications as a pilot were discovered one day when he obtained permission to make a flight, and then when he disclosed that he was an American citizen the American aviators insisted that he be accepted at once as a sergeant pilot. He made a series of flights next day before several aviation officers and was brevetted immediately. Swallowed by the Earth. Scranton, Pa.-While Mrs. Theodore Barton of 1107 Hampton street was pulling weeds-out of her garden the earth suddenly began to settle, with the result that in an instant she was precipitated into an old mine working, eighteen feet below the surface. When the earth gave way the woman called for aid, and several neighbors responded. They managed to rescue her with the aid of a rope and ladder. She was uninjured. Altoona, Pa.—Altoona squirrels know a good thing when they see it, and Herbert C. Hoover has nothing on them for food conservation. Bags of peanuts have disappeared like magic from a stand at Lakemont park recently. The proprietor bet a watch. He saw a bushy tailed visitor drop from a tree to the roof. Then he wiggled his way to the stair, grabbed his goobers and beat a retreat as well as a peanut vender. They trailed him and found his little home in the tree was filled with peanuts for the hard winter ahead. 50c per week pays for this Grafonola Outfit Grafonola "25" and six dou- be disc Record $29.50 House and Herrmann 7th and Eye Sts.

Washington.—The praises of the hog as a meat producing animal are sung by the department of agriculture in an appeal to farmers to raise hogs, hogs and still more hogs as the quickest and surest way of increasing the nation's meat supply. "The hog is the most important animal to raise for meat and money," the statement says. "He requires less labor, less equipment, less capital, makes greater gains per hundred pounds of concentrates and reproduces himself faster and in greater numbers than any other domestic animal. As a consumer of byproducts the hog has no rival. No other animal equals the lard hog in its fat storing tendency. There is no animal which produces more meat and meat products than the hog. "Very near 50 per cent of the total value in dollars and cents of the meat and meat products slaughtered in the packing houses of the United States is derived from the hog. Three-fourths of the world's international trade in pork and pork products originates in the United States in normal times, and the war greatly has increased this proportion." The statement then points out that there was a decrease of 313,000 hogs at the end of 1916 compared with the previous year and adds: "If we expect to continue to provide meat to foreign peoples as well as our own people every farmer must put forth the best effort to produce more hogs." Uncle Sam's Men In Training Camps Say That Fashion Sayes Time In Shaving. Camp Funston, Tex.-Mustaches are coming back. If the fashion which the young men of the army are setting is adopted by the civilian populace the hirsute adornment of the upper lip by the men of the country will become quite general. It was not with the view of adding to their personal appearance that the soldiers and prospective officers have returned to the style of their fathers in the matter of wearing mustaches. Necessity created it. The style first started about three weeks ago at the officers' training camp at this place, and it has spread to the younger officers of the regular army at Fort Sam Houston and to the officers of the national guard at Camp Wilson. "It is not because I thought I would be any better looking by wearing a mustache," said a student here, "but it is a time saver. You see, it is like this—we are put through such a strenuous pace here that every minute we can save is that much help. It takes the ordinary young man three or four minutes perhaps to shave his upper lip. Well, three or four minutes is some time in this camp, believe me." THIS SKELETON HORNED. It Looks Like Satan and Is Dug Out of Cave by Boys. Wheelling, W. Va. The skeleton of a prehistoric man or animal that closely resembles the Satan usually pictured was unearthed here on Repman's hill by several boys. The skull of the skeleton is much like that of the present human race, with the exception of two horns, which project from just above the temples on each side. In life the creature was about four feet high, with a long tail. There are four powerful legs or arms, each of which has four fingers. The chest is broad and undoubtedly was heavily muscled in the flesh. The skeleton was located by boys who were digging a cave. Scared by the appearance of their grusome find, the boys ran down the hill yelling, "We found the derl!" Several workmen went to the cave and dragged the skeleton out. Local authorities on prehistoric mammals and man being at sea, the skeleton was sent to Chicago for classification. RUBBER BOOTS SAVED-HIM. Barn in Which Kiplinger Was Standing Struck by Lightning. Charlotte, Mich.-The new large barn on the C. B. Lamb farm, west of this town, in Carmel township, which is occupied by Grant Kiplinger, was struck by lightning, and the siding was torn off from top to bottom on both gables, the barn being about fifty feet in height. Mr. Kiplinger was standing in the barn at the time, and the stable doors, within two feet of him, were silvered, and he was stunned, but not hurt, by the shock. The fact that he was wearing rubber boots probably saved him from instant death. Grayfish on Market. Seattle, Wash. — Kippered grayfish and sablefish have lately been added to kippered salmon and cod in northwestern fish markets, but the bureau of fisheries is sending an expert through Alaska coast towns instructing the fishermen on the Scotch method of kippering herring. A few years ago the herring of the north Pacific had only the slightest value. Some were used for bait by fishermen, and same were barreled and salted and shipped to the orient. CHARLES S.

The timber is being taken from a 160 acre tract of land belonging to G. W. Hope and will make approximately 50,000 feet of lumber. It is unusual to find so many trees of such superior quality on so small an acreage. average. As determined by the number of annual rings, the average age of the trees was forty years. One large tree showed 152 annual rings, measured forty-two feet to the first limb and cut out two sixteen-foot logs thirty inches in diameter. The last large logs and the bases are to be used making veneering while the other logs will be used for airplane lumber. Do You Want Work? If you do we can find it for you.
