Mr. Bundy has been the Exalted Ruler of Columbia Lodge for a number of years, and since his election to this position has succeeded in establishing a record which will be difficult for any man to surpass. tion. Mr. Dixon held this position last August, when the convention convened in Cleveland, Ohio. Mr. Dixon is a young man of much ability, and is considered as the logical successor of Mr. Bundy as Exalted WILLIAM S. HALL, Ruler. W. T. is non-committal on this subject, however, and his many friends anticipate considerable difficulty in securing his consent to run for this office. Mr. Dixon is the --- organization. Esteemed Lecturing Knight. Wm. S. Hall, chairman of the Trustee Board, received 84 votes, and is third on the list. Mr. Hall has always had the interest of the lodge at heart and is a very active member. Wm. H. Toliver, Financial Secretary, was the fourth delegate elected, having received 79 votes. Mr. JOHN H. HARRIS WILLIAM H. TOLIVER Toliver is an efficient secretary and an interested member in the welfare of his lodge. Frank P.

T. E. Shipley, the Esquire, received 72 votes and will be on hand T. E. SHIPLEY. when the gavel falls in Baltimore. John F. Ross, Secretary of the Trustee Board, received 55 votes. Mr. Ross is a clean, straightforward Elk, whose one thought is the welfare of Columbia Lodge. R. E. Brown, the Esteemed Loyal Knight, received 44 votes. Mr. Brown is one of the popular members and faithful officers of Columbia Lodge. Messrs. Alfred Lancaster and Andrew Beckett both received 42 votes. They are loyal members of Columbia Lodge. Mr. Beckett is the Secretary of the Entertainment Committee, which has had such a wonderful success under the leadership of Mr. Bundy, who is chairman of this committee. This is Mr. Lancaster's initial trip as a delegate, and he is expected to render some very valuable service to the delegation. Mr. Lancaster was also a member of the Cornerstone Committee and worked zealously under the JOHN F. ROSS guiding hand of Mr. Dixon, its chairman. Albert Coleman, who is the Master of Social Sessions and Chairman M. H. H. R. E. BROWN of one of the social clubs, received 41 votes, and says that he will be on hand when the time comes. George Thomas, better known as "Count," was also elected a delegate ALFRED LANCASTER to represent Columbia Lodge. The "Count" is one of the old war horses, and is thoroughly familiar with the political situation in the lodge. Mr. Thomas is a past master in the art of fraternal politics. Being quite familiar with the men who compose this delegation, The Bee can truthfully say that it is without doubt one of the best and most representative. delegations that has ever represented Columbia Lodge. Having entrusted the interests of the lodge to men of this character, the members may rest assured that they will do their full duty as they see it and return with a complete transcript of the entire session of the Grand Lodge. Space will not allow a more complete description of the individual characteristics of these men. ANDREW BECKETT Suffice it to say that they are every one gentlemen. They are men who have contributed, financially and ALBERT COLEMAN otherwise, to the project which resulted in the purchase of that beautiful Home at 911 T. Street N. W., to which the public is cordially invited. GEORGE THOMAS These twelve men, however, do not bear the entire responsibility of the lodge. They are staunchly supported by 700 true, stalwart members of the antelered herd. REV. J. D. PAIR Called to Baptist Church in Warrenton, Virginia. Rev. J. D. Pair, recently installed as pastor of the Baptist Church at Bristow, Va., was on August 9th elected pastor of the Mt. Zion Church at Warrenton, Va. The Mt. Zion Church was once pastored by the late Rev. L. L. Marshall, D. D., and is one of the largest congregations in the Northern Virginia Baptist Association. The church is located right in the town of Warrenton and has a well-appointed and beautiful house of worship: A congregation of two or three hundred attend the preaching services every Sunday. SATURDAY OUR MEAL WHEATLESS UNION JOBS, CRACKER BROTHERS, WHEAT CONTAINING WHEAT Elks THE RACE CONGRESS THE RACE CONGRESS NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS OF AMERICA. Appeals for Moral and Financial Support—Send Representative to the Next Congress. Believing you to be interested in the future welfare of the race, we are appealing to you for your moral and financial support in the next session of the National Race Congress, October 1, 2, 3, 1918. The executive committee is making a drive for three thousand units to represent in the next session. These units may be churches, fraternal societies, schools, business leagues, labor organizations and any other organization in the race that stands for the uplift of our people. We desire to have you assist us in getting your church, society or any other organization to which you belong to send a representative to the meeting of the next Congress. If any of the organizations find themselves unable to send a delegate, they will help the cause of the race if they will send a donation accompanied by a letter giving the name and address of the presiding officer and secretary of their organization. Arrangements are being made to make the next session of the Congress the greatest meeting in the history of the race. It will be regarded as the Anti-Lynching Session of the National Race Congress, and every colored organization in this country that is opposed to lynching and endorses the bill that is now before Congress to make lynching a Federal crime, is asked to send a delegation to this meeting. All phases of the race interest will be discussed by men who have made a special study of the same. We are asking every individual member of our race who believe in the principles for which this Congress stands and are willing to help us to contend for the manhood rights of our race, to make a special donation for the support of this Congress. Send all communications to the Headquarters of the National Race Congress, Rev. W. H. Jernagin, President, 903 Third Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Rev. Wm. Alexander is secretary; Rev. H. J. Callis, chairman of the executive committee, and Rev. J. S. L. Holloamn, secretary of the executive committee. THE COLOR LINE AGAIN. Colored Applicants Rejected After Successfully Passing the Civil Service Examinations. The official operation of rejecting colored citizens after they have successfully passed the civil service examination continues to go on in the several departments of the Government. Just why this wholesale discrimination continues The Bee would like to know. The latest victim was Christopher P. Hoffman, son of Prof. Eliza Hoffman, who was certified to the Department of Labor. When he presented himself he was told that he was not wanted, and on his paper after he was rejected was marked "colored." Henry A. Cox is the appointment clerk. Young Hoffman was certified for a messenger's position. REV. WILLBANKS. Rev. and Mrs. Alexander Willbanks have arrived in New York and have begun to operate their great revivals. The Walker Memorial Baptist-Church, Rev. T. B. Twirby, D.D., pastor, 132nd Street and Madison Avenue, will be the scene of the mighty battles. Preaching twice a day—3 p. in. and 8 p. m. SACRED Sermons BY UNUS and he played on a harp of a thousand strings.** FALLACIES. No. 5. Flying the Track. To fly the track and ditch the train is always bad, whether in railroading or reasoning. Flying the track in reasoning is practically the same thing as mistaking the question, missing the point, ignoratio elenchi, or irrelevant conclusion, of which I spoke last week. Flying the track is probably the primary obstacle to all progress in investigation or discussion, because in such a situation one can get nowhere. The very first thing to be ascertained about any argument is to find out whether or not any reason advanced is beside the point. If it is, it must be rejected. It may be pure gold, yet worthless rubbish for the present purpose. The only object of "special pleading" in the law is to ascertain the precise point at issue, or to prevent irrelevancy of evidence and argument by binding both parties in the suit to address themselves to the sole point in controversy. A demurrer in legal pleading is equivalent to the remark, "Well, what of that?" The main aim of the whole system of English legal pleading is to bring the disputants to the point, force them to join issue on that point and compel them to stick to the point. Similarly, that is the main object of the "rules of order" in parliamentary law. But there is no compulsion to regulate private discussions and conversations beyond the dictates of common sense, thoughtfulness and politeness. My aim here is to discourage intermimable palaver about nothing, long harangues on points admitted or not disputed, and the waste of valuable time in such performances. We often dispute with warmth without first taking the pains to ascertain the precise point of agreement or disagreement, if any. Where disputants desire to arrive at the truth, they will imitate the mariner, who frequently examines his compass to be sure of his bearings. Webster in his famous speech on Foote's resolution insisted on this, and demanded a second reading of the resolution. But a disputant who is not sincere, especially one who has a weak case, does not desire this. He is an artful dodger. He is prone to dodge the real point and substitute an irrelevant one. He employs many guises. Argumentum ad rem. This is the name given. I think by Locke, to reasoning that bears directly and absolutely on the real question, and tends directly to prove the main point. Argumentum ad judicium is the name given to the argument addressed to the unbiased understanding. These two arguments are legitimate; all others are probably spurious. Argumentum ad hominem, or argument to the person. This argument is addressed to the peculiar circumstances, character, avowed opinions or past conduct of the individual, and therefore has reference to him only, and does not bear directly or absolutely on the real question. The aim is to convict the opponent of inconsistency, ignorance, bad faith or illogical reasoning. Any or all of these charges may be well founded, yet they are aside from the purpose; for the doctrine in dispute may be well founded though its supporter may have a bad record or be deficient in all the qualities of a good reasoner. John Doe, a colored man, sincerely advocated free silver, and on that account supported the Democratic candidate for President. Richard Roe responded, to him: "The Republican party set you free." He ignored the special issue and substituted a more general issue that had no relation to the special issue. He practically meant: "While I might discuss the free silver issue with a white man, I will not discuss it with a colored man." Further, he practically meant that so long as the Republican party exists in name, a colored man should not weigh and discuss economic issues to determine how he shall vote. Argumentum ad populum. This is an appeal to the prejudices or passions of the multitude. It ignores the real question and is an unfair inference that proper arguments are wanting. This is the great weapon of the rhetorician and demagogue. Argumentum ad ignorantium. This argument is that your own position is correct, unless your opponent can show some valid reason to the contrary. It denies that something is so merely because it is not known how it is so. Thus, the King of Siam denied that there could be such a thing as ice, and rebuked his European visitor for so asserting. He had never seen ice. Argumentum ad verecundium. This is an appeal to the modesty of our opponent, hoping that he will not presume to attack respected authorities and time-honored customs. It is similar to the ex cathedra argument. This is a favorite device of some who quote history or misapply Scripture, or cite distinguished examples. As if to say, "Why should you presume to think for yourself?" Argumentum ad baculinum. This is the argument of the walking-stick, or knock-down argument. It requires little comment. A clubmay hit a point, but that form of argument misses the point. And this reminds me of a joke, wherein one little boy missed the logical point, but the other boy did not miss the point of a tack: Stuck it into Johnny's back. And rejoined when John protested. Don't be scared, it's disinfected. Announcement was made last night of the automobile racing program to be held on Labor Day, September 2nd, at Benning's track, under the auspices of the National Motor Speedway Association, a local corporation. The contract has been let and work will start at once to put the track in shape for some of the speediest races Washington has ever seen. Arrangements are being made with several cars and drivers of the Sheepshead Bay course to appear, and a number of local drivers who have won laurels in many auto races will also be seen. The management has been in communication with the Kline War Corporation, owners of the Jimmy and Jimmy Junior, two cars of national reputation, known as the late Bob Burman racing team. The last time this pair raced was at Richmond, some months ago, where the Jimmy Junior showed wonderful speed on the stretches. There are three motorcycle events staged for the day, in view of the fact that a large number of racing factory men are in the city. Washington will be treated with some of the speediest motorcycle events ever staged on the local course. The Labor Day races usually draw the largest crowds that ever attend sporting events in the National Capital. Baltimore will be represented by a large throng of people, special arrangements having been made with the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railroad to run special trains to the track. Every precaution is being taken by the promoters to have safety zones well protected, so as to avoid accidents. The cash prizes and cups will aggregate in the neighborhood of a thousand dollars. Music will be furnished by the Camp Meig's Band of sixty pieces and the Naval Gun Factory Band. HOTEL DALE. Cape May, N.

Judging from the constant reports being received complaining of discrimination against colored soldiers by white Y. M. C. A. people, the word "Christian," for which "A" stands, might appropriately be eliminated. Recently a letter was received telling of how a troop of colored soldiers were overjoyed on reaching a town in France, after a long, weary hike, when they espied a house on which was the sign, "American Y. M. C. A." The boys threw up, their hats and shouted for joy, and made a rush for the house, anticipating they could there get refreshments and bit of rest after their long hike. However, it is reported, when they reached the door leading into a supposed Christian retreat for soldiers, they were met by the American white man in charge, who bluntly told them they could not be accommodated there; that it was for whites. And these blacks were over there in France to fight with and for the whites for a world democracy. It is reported that the policy of white Y. M. C. A. officials is to repress any complaints from colored Y. M. C. A. workers now in France as to real racial discrimination, and not to send to France any colored Y. M. C. A. workers as secretaries who entertain strong personal views as to the rights of colored American soldiers being accorded just treatment without discrimination. Today, it is reported, there are thirty colored Y. M. C. A. workers trained for overseas duty who are being held up in New York because of white Y. M. C. A. officials doubting the wisdom of sending to France colored men who believe that while their own soldiers are fighting for democracy they should be entitled to the justice democracies are supposed to stand for. DR. JAMES E. SHEPARD. The Great Educator Is Extending His Work-A Large Endowment Asked-Correspondent Dodson Interviews Educator. New York, Aug. 10.—Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Training School at Durham, N. C., was here a few hours today looking after important business matters in the interest of his school. The Doctor was en route to Saratoga Springs, N. Y., where he will remain for a brief vacation. He is one of the most diligent, well-equipped and enthusiastic educators the race has. He has foregone the leisure due him and has been at his desk at the training school constantly since the commencement season closed the latter part of May. In an interview with your correspondent before, leaving for Saratoga, Dr. Shepard said: "The National Training School is clear of debt. We are now working for a larger endowment fund and to increase the dormitory accommodations for both sexes in order to meet the large and constantly increasing demand of applicants. Ours is an interdenominational institution for the training in all educational lines of service the youth of the race. Its courses of study are varied, embracing all subjects that go to make up a liberal education. "Though it is young in history, the institution feels a just pride, in the work thus far accomplished. Its graduates are already filling many responsible positions, thus demonstrating the aim of the school to Keep Your Hair In Smooth and Gl How Hair P Howard's Hair Pomade 25c. Size 15c For Sale at All the Peoples D The special help and encouragement held out to young men fitting themselves for the ministry, the new department of social service, and the able faculty employment and paid, make the National Training School an ideal institution for self-help and steady advancement. He Writes Soldiers' Committee a Very Pathetic Letter of Thanks. The National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee this week received a letter of thanks from Douglas Bolden, one of the colored soldiers sent to prison for life because of the Houston (Texas) riot. The committee has been regularly sending Bolden's aged mother a check to provide relief for her, and Bolden, hearing of it, sent the committee a most pathetic letter of thanks." In his letter he said: "I am indebted to you for the kind and timely assistance rendered my dear old mother. . . . I wish to ask you what steps I should take to secure my freedom, and to get restored to duty, as my mother is getting old and needs me to support her in her old age." He then went on to declare that he was absolutely innocent of the charges preferred against him. The sending of funds to Bolden's poor old mother regularly by the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee simply conforms to the orangization's motto—"Deeds not words." GRAVES'.

There are so many so-called hair growers on the market, a large number of which are nothing more than perfumed grease; it is no wonder people get discouraged and lose faith in all hair tonics. In deciding 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 a real scalp food; it stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long hair. Quinade is the invention of an expert chemist and is made under the supervision of an experienced registered pharmacist. It makes the hair soft and smooth and easy to put up in the style desired. To get best results from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to shampoo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby's Quinasoap. Quinasoap is made entirely out of pure vegetable oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quinasoap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled 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. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them for you from his wholesaler or send us the price and we will mail them to you.

A notable wedding in the social annals of the nation's capital was that of Miss Marie Ardana Duvall Madre and Mr. James H. Marshall, which was solemnized last Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Metropolitan A. M. E. Church, of which the bride has long been an active member. The nuptials were witnessed by about 1,000 of the admirers of the high contracting parties. The marriage ceremony was pronounced most impressively by Bishop I. N. Ross, and the Messrs. Madre, brothers of the bride, "stood up" with the happy pair. In keeping with the wishes of the bride and groom, the arrangements were of the simplest character, and the occasion was marked by a quiet dignity that stamped it as one far out of the ordinary. Miss Madre wore a traveling suit of gray, with hat, plumes and gloves to match, and the groom was attired in a business garb. After affectionate greetings by many warm friends, Mr. and Mrs. Marshall went immediately to the train, to spend a fortnight in Buffalo, N. Y., as the guests of two sisters of the groom. The honeymoon itinerary will also include a trip to Canada, Cleveland, Ohio, and other northern points. They will be "at home" after August 23rd at 2047 13th Street N. W., this city. Miss Madre is one of the best-known teachers in the Washington schools, is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, president of the District of Columbia Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, and has five highly successful terms as president of the nationally famous Bethel Literary and Historical Association. She is public spirited to the last degree, and through numerous organizations has done much productive work for the social and educational uplift of the community. Mr. Marshall is a prosperous shoe manufacturer, and has built up a business enterprise here that takes rank with the largest and best of its kind in the country. All Washington wishes Mr. and Mrs. Marshall bon voyage on the merry sea of matrimony.

The be g of pleasure—come to the H Come Early for Seats --- When it was announced that the draft age limit would be reduced down to 18 years, and, by a course of addition and multiplication, shoved up to 45 years, there were a lot of independents around this berg, censored as bachelors, who got an awful stage fright. A lot of them began to hunt up the old family Bible to see if the date of their birth could be rectified by a little subtraction. Dr. Will Davis, on looking up the old family story teller, found that they would have to go over fifty to get him, and even then they might miss him by a few years. Andrew Thomas, Jim Cobb, Neval Thomas and a few others held a memorial meetin' and ran up the white flag and sent out the S. O. S. signal. But it's no use, boys, for you just naturally got to go. The Government figures that bachelors will make dandy shock troops, and they can be better spared than a lot of boys and married men. For umpteen years we have been tryin' to bore it into the billiard balls that adorn these bachelors' shoulders that they ought to get married, settle down, and raise a half dozen kids or so, but the conceived things, they thought they knew everything. Now they are up against the real thing. Nev. Thomas has plum forgot all about Du Bois' "surrender" editorial, and is gettin' the opinion of every stray dog and cat as to when the new draft will go into effect. Jim Cobb would just as soon as not be added to Emmett Scott's clerical force as an immune, while Andy Thomas has already given an order to have that pigeon-green automobile of his'n painted a sombre black, to be used as a hearse to haul him, to Harmony Cemetery when the new draft law goes into effect. John Cromwell, the lightnin' calculator and authority on Hoyle and Foster, takes the matter philosophically, and says he is ready to deal from the bottom the instant the call comes. Eddie Burrell ain't sayin' a word, but he is thinkin' powerfully much and castin' a lingering eye over there to France. Tom Clark, the war strategist, with his six feet above earth, says he is eager to go, so he can tell Foch and the rest of the bunch how to cross Verdun without botherin' Soissons or interruptin' the flow of the Marne. Phil Cuney, already has posted a sign up in his room, "For Rent," and hung a sign on his office reading, "All my citizen's clothes for sale dirt cheap—owner goin' away." Yes, sir, these 100-per-cent patriots what has been telling you more about how to win the war than Foch, Haig or Pershin' ever dreamed of, are all now in sackcloth and ashes. All them there fellers what has been playin' in the Impotency League for about steen years, like Judge Terrell, Will Ferguson, Henry Slaughter, Wyatt Archer, and even my old college friend, Doc. Will Davis, are decoratin' their houses with victory banners and a-sayin' that the Impotency League is the big league nowadays. Some of the married men who can't boost their age above 45 are tremblin' same as a fellow with St. Anthony's dance, Armond Scott is almost afraid to attend the Elks' annual meetin' over at Tom Smith's hotel in Baltimore for fear the Provost Marshal will bag him while over there. Link Johnson came up here last week, all the way from Georgia, to establish the fact that he has a wife and a pair of jacks what needs his constant vigil. But the saddest trio that ever emerged from a pear-shaped contraption is Jim Cobb, Andy Thomas and Nev. Thomas. If the draft is not put into effect before September these three worthies will be dead from fright. And when it comes, an' if they are still livin', they will all three be hittin' and fieldin' at a terrific rate in the T. B. C. League, with an S. O. S. call out for the undertaker. Now, just imagine Jim Cobb, Andy Thomas and Nev. Thomas pickin' the bugs off or dodgin' rats in the trenches or dodgin' bullets down yander at Soissons. Or imagine them pickin' cotton down on some Mississippi plantation, as the "assential" work some of the draftees of the tender age of up to forty-five may be assigned to under the draft. Writin' the "Sage" stuff bein' regarded as "essential" work, causes me no uneasiness, and I don't give a tinkersdamn even if they run the draft age up to 75 years, cause I would be exempted even at that. What would the pro bono public what hangs around this center of assumed intelligence do if they couldn't get the Sage stuff each week? Why, the old berg would be full of mourners. I forgot to mention that Charley Hill will go with the first batch of draftees under the new regulations, FORMULATED 1800 PORO HAIR GROWER MADE ONLY BY Mrs Amber Turubo Mallone ST.

Well, these bachelors have one consolation, and that is, if their names appear in the casualty list, there won't be any bits of crimolin what will be mournin' for them. One lady, a high yeller, with Walkerized hair, and a deodorized aroma, when she heard that Secretary Baker was goin' to deplete the town of useless bachelors, exclaimed: "Thank old Mars for that!" And two respected and unsuspected married men of my acquaintance who have wives that could enter a beauty contest and get the blue ribbon, remarked: "Well, when that law goes into effect, and a few of these bachelor chromos are on the railroad sidin' down at Camp Meade, or Camp Stuart, or some other camp, I won't have to rush home just as soon as I am through work for the day and won't have to hang around home after I get there." Now, I don't know whether they was a reflectin' on some bachelor or not, but it sounded mightily like it. I am plum certain he didn't have in mind no decrepid player in the Impotency League. In a long conversation the other day with Dick Thompson, he explained the new draft law to me. Dick said, among other piquant things—stick a pin in that "piquant," for I may return to it—that when the draft law puts a hobble on bachelors from 31 to 45 it will remove a number of sundry gentlemen what he has been boostin' for several years without any returns. Dick said that about every other week he spread a pail of printer's ink over them; and they hardly gave him the once over when he would meet them. He said that with their submergin' in the army he would be compelled to reduce the number of columns he would have to write each week, but that it would make no difference in his receipts, for, outside of Andy Thomas, they were all "profit and loss" to him. My advice to Andy Thomas, Jim Cobb, Nev. Thomas and Johnnie Cromwell is "get your gun, sword and pistol" ready, and let your property go into the hands of the receiver, for your Uncle Sam has your measure and your number. ORGANIZE COLORED Committee Workers Plan Increased Industrial and Land Production During War. Want Every Negro in Class of Those Who Do Things, Says Professor Haynes. Columbus, Ohio, August 6.—Meeting at the Statehouse yesterday at the call of the United States Department of Labor, more than 125 representative colored and white citizens of Ohio organized the Negro Workers' Advisory Committee, which has as its purpose the organization of Negro workers for increased industrial and agricultural production during the war. Thirty members were nominated on a state advisory committee, which will have as its work the advising of the United States employment service, employers of Negro labor and the workers themselves on all subjects that will stabilize the efficiency of the Negro wage earner. Governor Cox will serve as honorary chairman of the committee. In smaller communities boards of a similar nature will be formed. HAVE A F Phone Main 8273 Joseph Undertak For 227 Cor Jose Chapel Service Fre Efficiency Is Sought. Professor George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics of the Department of Labor, Washington, outlined the purpose of the conference as to increase the efficiency of Negro workers toward 100 per cent production and organize the workers so that they can co-operate with the Department of Labor of the state and employment services of other divisions of the department to their advantage and the country's. "There are just two classes of citizens in this country today," Professor Haynes said. "They are those who do and those who don't. We want to enlist every Negro in the ranks of those who do." "The government has already seen the loyalty and patriotism of the colored men," Professor Haynes continued. "More than 110,000 colored boys are among the fighting forces in France. We have subscribed more than $100,000,000 in liberty bonds and millions in war savings stamps and donated millions to the Red Cross and Y. M. C. A. funds. Our women are taking the places of men in the industries where they have been called to the colors." One of the big problems of the advisory board will be the question of women in industry and improvement of the conditions under which they work. Negro physicians represented in the meeting were considering plans of sanitation and hygiene. Lawyers represented formed a judicial committee and will advise the United States Department of Labor on all state laws relative to employment and working conditions. Ohio is the fifth state to organize workers, for increased production. JUSTH'S OLD STAND Workingmen, hustlers are entitled to more consideration in regards the cash that's spent.

Why the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People Will Not Defend L. M. Bundy-A Just Reason August 5, 1918. Enclosed is a copy of an open letter to Messrs. Studin and Shillady of the N. A. A. C. P., in answer to the statement of the withdrawal of the association from my case. It is highly proper and right that the public should know the truth. Hence injustice to me, the man that is down, I earnestly request that the enclosed letter will be published in its entirety by your paper. Thanking you in advance for this favor and for many past kindnesses, I beg to remain yours. L. M. Bundy. To Messrs. Studin and Shillady, Care N. A. A. C. P., 75 Fifth Avenue. New York. Gentlemen: It is with great pain and heart- felt regret that I read your pub- lished statement, which misrepre- nented me and threatened to do damage to my great and sacred cause. For the life of me I could see no justification of your unkind- ly act. What puzzled me more, it was difficult for me to discover your motive. First. Either intentionally or unintentionally (I sincerely hope the latter) you greatly misrepresented me, and conveyed to the general public, upon which I am much dependent at this time, a false notion as to my conduct—in certain statements which I did not make to you, or anybody else. While your public statement contains some of my words, as a whole it seriously misrepresented me. Second. You accuse me of not properly reporting to you, as representative of the N. A. A. C. P., on one hand, and on the other hand I claimed to you, and claim now, that I was under no obligation to report to you, however true it might be that I should report to those under whom I operated. I am certainly grateful to the N. A. A. C. P. for whatever interest it took in me, and whatever help it afforded me. (I am persuaded that your association did aid me to a good degree), but I know, as well as you know, that at a most critical time in my case, while I was still in prison, there arose in my judgment a critical moment, a veritable crisis in my affairs, when in my judgment very rapid and formidable action was necessary, which rapid action was not being taken by your organization, and after repeated appeals to officials of your association, which brought no response, I deemed it absolutely necessary to seek aid elsewhere. I found a group of friendly spirits in the States of Illinois and Missouri to whom I committed my interest, and there met with speedy and ready response, whom to the day of my death I shall always appreciate. For it is entirely due to this group of friends that I enjoy my temporary liberty. From that time until this I have been operating under the auspices of newly organized friends to whom I have been reporting and shall in the future report. It was this group of friends that arose to the measures of my necessities in this crisis. If the conditions, circumstances and crises through which I am now passing, and must soon pass, permitted, I would be glad to go into all the details attending the development of my case and explain to the fullest my every movement. Every dictation of common sense demands that for the time being I forego this pleasure, and await the opportune moment, which I hope is not far distant, when, I can make a full breast in the most public way of all the details of my acts in developing my defense. And I can assuite you and all interested friends that I shall not hesitate to do this when the proper time comes. I shall leave much to say later, but for the present I must refuse to be turned aside from my paramount duty in preparing my defense. I sincerely wish to thank you, the officers and members of your association for any and everything that you may have done to help me, and offer my inexpressible thanks to the many other friends, and particularly the organization in Illinois and Missouri, for the extraordinary aid and good will shown me in my perilous hour. Yours, L. M. Bundy. UPPER MARLBORO NEWS. Appointments and Assignments of Teachers for Colored Schools.

WOMAN RUNS A BIG CRANE Foreman of Philadelphia Plant Says She is Better Than 60 Per Cent of Men. Philadelphia.—Miss Catherine Hahn, who operates a five-ton crane at the Tacoma ordinance plant, is said to be the only woman in the country operat- ing a crane of that size. Her foreman declares that she manipulates the crane better than 60 per cent of the men he has seen employed at the same work. Miss Hahn is five feet six inches tall, weighs 188 pounds and is twenty-five years old. She is robust looking but not extraordinary in point of muscular development. "I just made up my mind when I came over here to help make guns," she said, "that I was going to do whatever I was told. I had been afraid to climb ladders and I never was a tomboy in my life. but I was determined I wouldn't let anybody scare me; and they haven't. I'm not as tired when I go home at night as I used to be after running a sewing machine." MUST PAY FOR FURLOUGH Men at Camp Wadsworth Required to Bring In 50 Dead Files. Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S.G.-Fifty dead files is the price that enlisted men of the camp quartermaster's department now have to pay for a pass to come into the city. As a result, when a man wants to come into town on pleasure he purloins a few grains of sugar or some other delicacy from the kitchen, seizes his trusty swatter and sets to work. There is a suspicion that some of the men have a pooling agreement by which Jones will help Smith, kill flies one day and Smith will do as much for Jones some other day. It is said, too that files sometimes have a commercial value, the prices varying with weather conditions and the keenness of the men to get into town. WEDDING IS STRICTLY "13" Fateful Number Figures Prominently in Affairs of Kansas City. Couple. Kansas City, Mo.—It was 13 months ago that William A. Gibson met pretty Anna B. Brown of this city. "This is our luck day," he declared, as he looked at the date—the 13th She agreed. "Let's get married on the 13th," he said a few months later. She also agreed to this. So on the 13th of the month they secured a marriage license. Then a happy thought struck them. "Let's make it 13 all around," she said. They were then married on the 13th floor of the Commerce building, in room 913, by Justice E. A. Seltzer. NEW EXCUSE FOR SPEEDING Novelty of Plea Secures for Atlanta Young Man Cut Price Fine. Atlanta, Ga.—Young Clifford Ogden was before a police judge to answer for fast driving in an automobile and around the wrong side of a trolley car. "I had as a passenger a man trying to catch up with a street car in which was his wife, from whom he is trying to get a divorce. He was seeking evidence and told me he just had to catch that trolley car." The novel excuse caused the recorder to give young Ogden a cut price of only $12 and costs. AIR RAIDS ONLY BORE LONDONERS They Watch the Weather and Draw the Blinds But Refuse to Be Panic-Stricken. MANY DON'T SEEK SHELTER Busses and Subway Trains Operate as Usual and Club Men Sit Calmly Under Glass Roofs—Only the Foreign Element Frightened. By FLOYD MACGRIER London.—The thick London fog, often referred to in America, is one of the British capital's chief protections from air raids by the Huns. If it is a foggy or misty night the searchlights of Zeppelins cannot reach their long fingers of light to the earth and pick out the English coast or find their way to London. Airplanes, likewise are baffled. So a thick fog gives a sense of security and one buys a ticket to a theater with far more cheerfulness than on a moonlight night when the air is clear. The weather has attained a new sphere as a topic of conversation. One Londoner may greet another with: "Well, it looks like a good night for a raid," if the evening is fair. More than a hundred bombings have taught the Londoner to expect a raid on such nights. He considers it lucky if none occurs. "Blinds must be drawn at 9:30 p.m. today," runs a line in the daily papers. As summer approaches the hour is made late, to correspond with dusk. And the blinds are drawn. Hotel maids are instructed to attend to this promptly. Hotels also have placards warning guests that police will hold them responsible if a light shows from their window. Busses Operate as Usual. BUSES OPERATE AS USUAL. All London does not take to cover when an air raid is on. During a recent raid, when bombs were being dropped and bits of shrapnel fell sumely, the auto, busses, with their woman conductors, operated as usual. And there were passengers. Britishers do not regard the air raids with fear. People in the street get under cover, if it is handy, so as not to be hit by falling shrapnel. But they do not dash madly to shelter or push or jam their way into safety in the underground railway stations. The subway trains are operated as usual. Only the foreign element, largely employed in munition factories, has become frightened. Many of these have moved into safety zones. As an instance of air-raid boredom a British officer on leave, was on his way to his hotel, room when the warning to take cover was sounded. "What are you going to do?" he was asked. "Do?" he echoed. "Hell; I'm going to bed!" During the same raid the musicians in a hotel which fronts the Thames and is well known in America played on as usual and the cafe crowd did not know there was a raid until the "all clear" was sounded. Club Men Talk Calmly. But the booming of heavy guns in and around the city generally reaches most cars. A crowd of men sat in a smoking room at one club, with a glass roof above, and talked of one thing and another during the raid. Seeking shelter in a subway would appear as impossible to them as going down Broadway barefooted. Only a very small proportion of London can be accommodated in the subways. The crowding of public buildings during raids has been discouraged, because it is realized that very few of them can withstand the heavy bombs. Residents now are officially advised to stay at home during raids and take their chances, which are about one in 400,000. Despite more than 100 raids on London one has to hunt for any evidence of damage, although scores have been killed and wounded. Houses which have been demolished are in widely scattered districts. London being a city which is sprawled over considerable territory with low buildings. Business houses, public structures and factories show no evidence of attack. But houses which have been bombed are so much mortar and dust, even houses that were four stories high. Spirit of the Tranches Prevalls The spirit of the trenches, which makes men face death bravely, is the spirit of London during a Hun attack. Mothers are the most nervous, and many babies have been taken into the cold night air, during a raid, too thin clad, each mother believing she was doing the best thing by going to a subway. And these babies have died from the exposure. But there are many overbalancing cases of bravery. The bishop of London is authority for the story that one girl, aged seven and one-half years, who was alone during a Gotha raid, aroused her four younger brothers and sisters, brought them downstairs, placed them about a table and was reading a Bible when her mother, a widow employed as a tram conductress, returned in panic, fearing for her little ones. Chicks: Hatched by Steam. Pittsburgh, Pa.—Belleving they could hatch chickens without the use of a hen or incubator, pumpsmen in a Shamokin, Pa., collery placed 18 eggs in a cottled box beneath the even-temperature steam pipes. Twelve chickens was the result. RECREATION BIG NEED OF YANKEES Soldiers Over There Must Be Given Mental and Physical Diversion. WAR IS MOST DEPRESSING Standard OH Official Who Has Been Serving as Y. M. C. A. Secretary Says Soldiers Must Be Saved From Going Insane. New York.—"If the United States is to be spared the harrowing experience of having thousands of American soldiers returned home because of mental derangements, this country must provide for more physical and mental recreation for our boys overseas." That's the message which Herbert L. Pratt, vice president of the Standard Oil company, brings to the American people after spending seven weeks in France as a Y. M. C. A. secretary, and who while there was given opportunity to see just what is meant by war. "During the first 18 months of the war there were as many English and Canadian soldiers returned to England because of, mental derangements as there were because of wounds," said Mr. Pratt. "The United States must profit by the experiences of our allies and must plan now to enlarge our facilities overseas for taking care of our men when not actually fighting. The American soldier is naturally higher strung than any of the allied soldiers. He's always on his toes. He's ever alert. Always ready to go. He's a dynamo of energy. And when he isn't actually fighting he seeks an outlet for that energy and it is of vital importance that his energies be directed rightly. War Is Depressing. "The war is most depressing. One who rubs against the realities of war is overwhelmed by its seriousness. One marvels at what the men have endured and what they are accomplishing. The war overshadows everything else. And that's all the more reason why everything that will result in cheering up our men should be done now. A great deal is being done but a lot more must be done. "I wish I could describe just how the war affects one who comes in contact with it. He feels all pent up. His emotions seem all bundled together. And naturally he seeks relief. He welcomes the smile, the laugh, the warm handshake, the word of good cheer. Good cheer! Ah, that's it. It's the 'cheer-up' message that is needed overseas. "Don't think our boys are downhearted or that they are discouraged. Just the opposite is true. Their morale is excellent. Their spirits are high; their courage is just what it ought to be and they are absolutely confident. But they want that bit of cheer which makes them forget some of the cruelties of war. And we folks at home must see that they get it. "General Pershing has commissioned the Y. M. C. A. to provide for the physical and mental recreation of the American soldiers and sailors overseas. The association has been given a great big job and in spite of most perplexing difficulties has been doing splendidly. But the great need today is: for men, great, big, two-fisted, red-blooded men who are capable of tackling a great big man's job and getting away with it big. Has a Hard Job. "Serving as a 'Y. M.' secretary in France is a hard job. The hours are long. The hardships are many. And the responsibilities are tremendous. It isn't merely a case of selling cigarettes or chocolate. That's merely incidental to the big work which is being done. The Red Triangle' man is the soldier's pal. And a good pal must always be there. with a smile or a word of cheer or a warm handclasp or just whatever it is that is needed. This may sound easy but it's not. It's a hard job. "The American people must wake up to this genuine need for big men to serve as 'Y. M.' secretaries overseas. They must realize that this service is of the greatest importance to the American soldier and sailor. It's what so frequently makes a soldier on the verge of breakdown because of nervous strain, a soldier fit for service." WOMAN SAVES AUSTRIAN BY TALK FROM WINDOW Berkeley Springs, W. Va.—Mrs. Annie Ambrose, a leader in war activities here, by a great patriotic speech dispersed a drunken mob that appeared before her house demanding that one of her boarders, a naturalized American of Austrian birth, fly an American flag from his window.

"I killed five before they got me!" This exclamation of a lad who was being brought back in an ambulance from the firing line, his leg having been torn by a piece of shell, shows the spirit of the Sammles "over there." The incident is told by Dr. Carl Holliday, director of educational work in France, in a letter to his parents. "Just yesterday I returned from a three-day trip near the battlefront," he wrote. "All day and through most of the night one, could hear the sulen boom of the great cannons, and it was a horrible thought to consider that every time that sound was heard some one or more of our friends or foes fell in death. Day before yesterday I rode down in an ambulance with a mere boy whose leg had been torn by a piece of shell. I killed five before they, got me,' he said; 'five—I counted them. I never thought that I would thank God that I took the lives of five men, but I do thank him this very minute." TO SAVE TORPEDOED SHIPS Tennessee Man Invents Clever Device He Thinks Will Do the Work. Chattahooga, Tenn. — C. Stewart Henslee has invented a device and offered it to the navy department to save torpeded ships by instant application of a plate to the hole caused by the entrance of a shell. The device, which has been demonstrated before a number of government officials and congressmen, consists of a number of cone-shaped buckets of rubberized can- vas attached by a chain. At the end of a series of these buckets is a closing disk of steel plates. When the hull of a vessel is pierced the crew lowers the chain of cones, which are drawn by suction of the water into the hole and pull after them the closing disk, which is brought up against the hole and remains in place by pressure of the water outside. BOUND TO GET INTO WAR Seventy-Year-Old Man Rejected by Navy Marries to Serve Country. Kansas City.—When Sam Russell, seventy, was rejected by the navy he dyed his hair and mustache and tried again. Same result. Then he hunted up Mrs. Clara Sanford, sixty-five, and married her. "Til show 'em," he said, "I'm still young enough to serve my country. Mrs. Russell has a farm in Wyandotte county, Kansas, and I'm going to raise food for Uncle Sam and his allele. I was just bound to get into this war some way and when I couldn't do it by enlisting I decided to get married." Perfect School Record. Manhattan, Kan.-Miss Lillie Lehman of Junction City, a graduate of the 1918 class of the Kansas State Agricultural college, claims the state record, if not the United States record for school attendance. In the sixteen years it has taken her to go from the first grad. of the public schools to graduation at the Aggy school, she has never been absent or tardy. Cows Ignore Daylight Plan Hinsdale, N. H.—Farmers here say their cows refuse to adjust themselves to the daylight saving plan. They were in the habit of coming to the bar at a certain time to be milked.
