Appeals for Moral and Financial Support—Send Representative to the Next Congress. My Dear Friend: 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 known 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. NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS. President W. H. Jernagin is receiving encouraging letters from different States in regards to the coming session of the National Race Congress. Organizations are pledging their registration. In the State of Kansas local organizations are being formed in interest of the Congress. The Baptist Ministers' Conference of the District endorsed the Congress and elected their president, Dr. Norman, to represent them, and urged upon every Baptist pastor and church to send representatives to the Congress. Three conventions in Mississippi have already endorsed the Congress and elected their delegates. The registration blanks are ready for any organization that desires to register. Every colored organization in the District of Columbia that is opposed to mob violence and lynching is requested to send a delegate to the National Race Congress. For further information write the headquarters, 903 Third Street N.W. COLORED STEEL WORKERS ARE ORDERED TO JOIN LABOR UNIONS. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 20.—Colored men, with trades, in the steel plants here, have been ordered to join the union this month. The cost of join- Everything is new this season—in Mo., it is expected that a formal fact, the company carries everything message of appreciation will be sent excepting the theatre, and its main to the War Department, the Ameri- ing, it is reported, is $20. The men now receive 85 cents per hour, and the union has promised them 95 cents per hour. The colored workers with whom your correspondent has talked are not quite clear as to the advantage to be gained by joining the union, but feel the compulsion. GETTING READY FOR THE COLORED ELKS. Baltimore, Md., Aug. 20.—This city is all agog for the Elks' annual meeting next week. The order's handsome new club house on Hoffman Street, near Druid Hill Avenue, is the scene of much activity in preparation for the meeting. ELKS TO HAVE EVERY COLORED BAND THAT HAS NOT GONE TO WAR The Elks parade at the Baltimore Convention will be one of the greatest colored patriotic demonstrations given in the East for many years. Brass bands from all sections of the country will take part in the parade next Tuesday. Washington is sending two bands to accompany the anteleder herd from the Capital City, in addition to the new band formed for Columbia Lodge. Morning Star Lodge, No. 40, is sending her band, over fifty strong. The Morning Star Band was quite a favorite at Philadelphia in 1916, when they awoke South Street at 5 a.m. playing that favorite selection at that time, "Walking the Dog." Druid Hill Avenue, Baltimore, will hear "The Drafting Blues" as it has never been played before, according to the excellent work at the band rehearsals. PATRIOTIC EXERCISES. The patriotic exercises at the Mt. Carmel Baptist Church last Monday evening were largely attended and the affair was a huge success. They unfurled a service flag with twenty-eight stars in the midst of an enthusiastic crowd. Mr. A. F. Williams, Y. M. C. A. secretary, of Newport News, Va., introduced the speaker of the evening, Hon. William Harrison, of Oklahoma City, Okla., who for one hour delivered an address which stirred the hearts of his audience and brought applause almost every minute. His subject, "The Negro and the War," was a great treat. Seated on the platform were Judge Hewlett, Hon. Martin B. Williams, Rev. Daniel Reid, Mr. Francis B. Wells, and Rev. W. J. Howard. Many other distinguished persons were in the congregation. When Pastor Jernagin called upon Hon. Martin B. Williams, former reading clerk of the House, for remarks, he stated that he had listened to many onitors, but he could say he had never heard a better one. We were delighted to have such a compliment paid Mr. Harrison, because Mr. Williams has been in the position to hear the best in the country. Mr. Harrison will return to the city during the sessions of the National Race Congress, when the people of Washington will have another chance to hear him. "THE SMARTER SET" COMING TO HOWARD THEATRE. "The Smarter Set," headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt, will make their annual visit to Washington, playing an engagement of one week at the Howard Theatre, starting Monday, August 26th, with matinee Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, presenting their latest musical comedy, called "Darkest Americans," in two acts and ten scenes. The first act should interest the people of Washington, as it is laid at the Howard University, and from there to all parts of the globe in quick action. M. EX-GOVERNOR FRANK B. WILLIS Nominated for Governor of Ohio-by the Republicans drop curtain, while the costuming is without doubt the handsomest ever worn by any colored organization. Salem Tutt Whitney, who requires no introduction to the Washington theatre-goers, has won distinction as an actor of marked comic talents, and will be seen in the principal role, which offers him unlimited opportunities for funmaking, while J. Homer Tutt plays the chief light comedy role, and, incidentally, he is epitome of sartorial elegance. The music is characterized by originality, but the program is punctuated here and there with a favorite that takes the old-timer back in fancy to the days of long ago. The majority of the numbers, however, were written expressly for the production by Charles "Lucky" Roberts and J. Honer Tutt, among which are "I. Want You Back," "I. Wonder What Happened. When They Got Me." "Promise Me," "Steppin' Po' Chile," "Ain't It Funny. What Love Will Do." "Sammy, Get Your Gun," "Blue Fever," "When You're Dreaming in the Moonlight," "My Dark Brown Jewel of the River Nile" and "For the Samboes and the Sammies Are Together. Over There." There are many dancing numbers, in which the performers are seen in their element, and a splendid chorus. COLORED NURSES GRATEFUL FOR CHANCE TO SERVE. President of National Association of Graduate Nurses Sends Greetings to Race Representative The colored people throughout the country continue to feel deep satisfaction over the authorization of the enrollment of colored women as nurses in the base hospitals and camps where soldiers of the Negro race are stationed in large numbers. The hundreds of competent colored nurses who have been registering their names for many months, with the Nursing Division of the American Red Cross, with the hope of finally securing positions where their skill and experience might be utilized to proper advantage, are particularly gratified over the happy turn of affairs, and at the coming convention, of the National Association of Colored Nurses at St. Louis, Mo., it is expected that a formal message of appreciation will be sent to the War Department, the Ameri- can Red Cross and other agencies that have been instrumental in pushing their claim for recognition. The following letter from Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, R. N., president of the National Association of Graduate Nurses, attached to the staff of the Lincoln Hospital and Home, New York City, gives a typical expression of the sentiments of the colored nurses, and of the colored people generally, with reference to the admission of colored women to this helpful branch of army service: Mrs. Thoms Expresses Gratitude of Colored Nurses. Lincoln Hospital and Home, East 141st Street and Southern Boulevard. New York, August 6, 1918. Dear Sir—Now that the American Red Cross has accepted Negro nurses for membership and has begun to enroll them for nursing service, we feel that we cannot begin our rejoicing before we have offered our heartfelt gratitude to you, who have kept our interest at heart and have always striven to bring about equality of opportunity to the members of a race so fortunate as to have such an able representative at Washington. At the eleventh annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses, which convenes in St. Louis this year, I shall take great pleasure in acquainting the nurses of the influence you have exercised in our behalf. With very best wishes for your continued success, I am, very sincerely yours, (Signed) Ada B. Thoms, President National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses. Miss Frances Reed Elliott, formerly head nurse of the John A. Andre Memorial Hospital, Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who was the first colored nurse enrolled as No. 1-A, has written Mr. Scott to express her appreciation of his action in having her enrolled and commissioned by the American Red Cross Society.

The Uplift Club, an organization of colored men in this city, is doing much to relieve want and shed sunshine in and around humble-homes. They have sixty members who, instead of wasting their time in dances, card parties, and gossiping, are relieving the distressed and teaching the poor right living—really uplifting their fellowmen. Recently they went out to Camp Pleasant, the colored baby camp, and after entertaining the children with delightful singing, and religious efforts, contributed $20 to help maintain the camp. The Uplift Club is another evidence of what the common people are doing. This organization, although but three years old, has achieved more good than all the dance and card clubs of social climbers have achieved since Washington was laid out by L'Enfant. LOCAL BUSINESS LEAGUE. The local Business League will hold its final meeting Saturday evening, August 17th, at 8:30 o'clock, at the Twelfth Street Branch, Y. M. C. A. Final arrangements of delegates and friends who will attend the National Convention, to be held in Atlantic City, N. J., August 21, 22, 23, will be made. You are requested to be present to assist in forming a patriotic resolution to be presented to the convention. TO THE PUBLIC. Through the Divine impulse it was my privilege the first Monday in July last to have an interview with the Secretary to the President on matters of great importance to us as a people, including lynching, using the 66th division of Psalm and the 18th verse. GARNET COMMUNITY CENTER SATURDAY OVER MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO BREAD CRACKER, FASTY OR BREAKFAST FOODS CONTAINING WHEAT ress WAR CONTRIBUTIONS WAR CONTRIBUTION OF COLORED PEOPLE OF EVANSVILLE, INDIANA Reported to the National Negro Business League in Session at Atlantic City by Prof. W. E. Best. The activities of the colored people of Evansville have been for the most part under the management of the local Negro Business League, of which Logan H. Stewart is president. In 1915, the Negro Business League promoted health and clean-up campaigns. There were two hundred gardens planted as a result of this effort. In 1916 the number of war gardens was increased to three hundred, and at present the gardens total more than one-thousand. The total assessed value of Evansville and Vanderburgh County is $36,000,000; the population 80,000. The colored people's holdings are valued at $500,000. The colored population is about 10,000. There has been raised through the various Liberty Loan efforts about $9,000,000, of which $70,000 was the allotment for the colored people. The raising of the various war loans has been under the direction of the Mayor of Evansville. The Mayor in an address before the Evansville Chamber of Commerce stated that the Negroes of Evansville had done their part toward raising the various war loans. The quota for the colored people in the first Red Cross drive was $450. They raised $600. In the Patriot Fund effort the colored people of Evansville contributed $8,000, which was more than $5,000 above their quota. Evansville has furnished about 500 colored draftees and enlisted men to the United States Army, and Navy. Five of these men are commissioned officers and two are in the Y. M. C. A. branch of the United States service. Four out of the seven officers and secretaries are now in service in France. The colored women of Evansville, through the city Federation of Colored Women's Clubs, aside from participating in all the various war fund drives conducted in the city, have co-operated with the County Council of Defense and have registered the colored women as members of the United States Food Administration and for service; have conducted the child-welfare work among our people and weighed the babies in each of the school districts; they have now in operation fifteen food clubs that are active in the conservation of food. JUDGE TERRELL TO MAKE A SWING THROUGH WEST SWING THROUGH WEST. In September Judge Robt. H. Terrell will make a swing through the Middle West delivering patriotic addresses under the auspices of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee. Already dates have been arranged for him at New Castle, Pa.; Cleveland, Columbus, Dayton, Toledo, Ohio; and Detroit, Mich., and tentative dates for a number of other cities.

Greensboro trine be true and a deed be right," says Dr. McCosh, "the consequences must be good, whether we see it or not." Proving too much. To prove too little is not often serious, although a fallacy and a weakness. But an argument that proves too much is invalid throughout. It violates the logical maxim, "Falsus in uno falsus in omnibus" (partly false wholly false). If any portion of the conclusion is evidently false, the reason that led to it, considered in itself alone, must be essentially and wholly vicious. Let us beware of proving too much. And I hope no one will ever attach a wrong meaning to the good old maxim above quoted, as did a certain cynic once upon a time. Hearing that a girl of his acquaintance had eloped and run away in an omnibus, he exclaimed, "Falsus in uno falsus in omnibus." GROWING SEMONS BY UNUS and he played on a harp of a thousand strings.** Ignoratio Elenchi. More About It I will now end the consideration of the fallacy of mistaking the point, or ignoratio elenchi. It is very important in our daily life. The forms of it are numerous and varied. It is seen in nearly every form of argument that is not the argumentum ad rem. Even the insolent silent grin and the box on the ears are instances of it. The shades and forms of it are not all definable, varying as they do from the dark, to the light, the crooked to the straight. The best translation of ignoratio elenchi is perhaps "answering to the wrong point." The term, which is a Latinized form of a Greek phrase, arose with the old Greek sophists, who were as much concerned about victory in "word war" or logomochy as about the discovery of truth. Among them dialects were almost always in the form of dialogue, and the Socratic mode of questions and answers was adopted as the acutest method of argument. Many errors and paradoxes arose out of that controversial spirit, and hence they learned to keep constantly, in sight the "elenchus" (test, means of testing, point of view, argument). One meaning of the original of the word elenchus was costly jewel. Let's imitate the old Greeks in attaching a high value to the elenchus. I will now conclude this subject by citing a few more varieties of the disregard of it. Appeal to the passions. It is a common rhetorical artifice to turn the attention of the readers or hearers to some foreign object that will excite the feelings, and when they are too much excited to be capable of judging calmly, to turn their passions in the direction desired and make them view the case before them in a false light. Too many political harangues are of this character. Shifting ground. This is the device of avoiding intentionally one or the other of the premises proper to be restricted to the conclusion. It occurs where an adversary, finding it difficult to maintain his position, covertly assumes another, and when hard pressed there, he does not hesitate deftly to shift back to the position recently abandoned. He jumps from premise to premise without waiting for the refutation of either. He is as slippery as an eel. If he possesses more volubility and assurance than you, he may gain the ascendency with the auditors—not by sense, but sound; not by judgment, but want of it. Partial objections. This is a way of concluding that a proposal is to be set aside because there are some objections to it. But it is not enough to show that there are objections; it must also be shown that there are stronger reasons against it than for it. Unfair representation. This consists in exhibiting to view certain feelings, mistakes or imperfections, taking care to conceal whatever is of an opposite character, thus tilting the balance and misleading others. This is a favorite trick of some book reviewers. He who reads Shakespeare, or any book, merely for the purpose of finding faults, is an example. Jesus had this fallacy in mind when He spoke of the mote and the beam. Proving only a part of a question. To prove that a man is a murderer requires more than proof that he killed a man. To prove that a man is a liar requires more than proof that he made a misstatement. The element of malice or intent must also be shown. To ignore that element is to miss the point. Argument from consequences. Dr. McCosh classes the abuse of this argument under the head of ignorantio elenchi. He says it is allowable in questions of pure expediency, as the proposal to pass a law to suppress vice. But, he says, where the question is primarily one of truth and right, we should not in the first instance appeal, to the results. The theologians for a long time opposed the teaching of the science of geology because they feared it might tend to show that the world was not created in seven days. Some people now oppose woman suffrage on the ostensible ground that it would give colored women the right to vote. The "argument of consequences" is the favorite fallacy of those who oppose reform or progress by reason of personal interest or prejudice—the typical class of objectors.

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.

TO MAKE THE HAIR GROW LONG. There are so many so-called hairgrowers 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 cocaoanut 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.

C, AUGUST 24, 1918 : ‘RIOT OF OPPRESSION. fy The discrimination against and segregation of colored men.and women in the Government offices here at Washington which.shortly after March 4, 1913, became an insidious nightmare, to dampen the ardor of aspiration and kindle fires of resentment within the heads - and hearts of colored people, has now: become a riot of oppression. The Department of Labor, whose’ function in’ these. times when bloody Mars.stands upon: the Bridge of Horror and beckons. his battalion of death on, had been unable to rival, in the public press, the thfee other departments which have most to do with the war, is the latest offender: 5 When thé Department of Labor gave appointment to Professor Haynes, a’ colored man, and bestowed upon’him the high-sounding and at the same time mystic title of.“Director of Negro Economics,” a faint hope aflamed in the hearts of our race, so far as that depart- ment was concerned, that the race was nearing the grazing fields of JUSTICE. - : ae ' When Professor Haynes’ was started on a tour.to hold labor, con- ferences in various States for the purpose, as academically’ declared, to “mobilize colored labor” to help win the war, and secure for it a place in the sun when “industrial reconstruction should follow a “victorious peace,” encouragement was given to the race. Just as our hopes. had-begun to soar aloft towards the elysian fields of EQUAL, OPRORTUNITY, like a bolt of lightning issuing . from a clear sky comes a withering decree. from the Department of Labor that that department will employ “only white nien” as. watch- men: i . 5 ‘The: Washington Evening Star, ‘isstie of August 15th, a usually reliable and accurate white daily which pursues no open policy. of repression against, the race, even though. it may not cemphasize a ‘robust policy of defense, carried the following news item,’ under attractive headlines: * a “Two hundred and fifty watchmen or guards who-are phys- ” .. ically active, intelligent and exempt from the draft, and whose ages range from: 2r to. 65 years, are wanted at once by the De- partment of Labor. The salaries will be between $70:and $75 a month, and.ONLY WHITE MEN, WILL BE EMPLOYED. Applicants must apply at the office of the United States Em- * ployment Service.” - : _. If the Departnient of Labor’s “mobilization of colored labor,” as explained at various conferences by Professor Haynes, is to be tainted with such 4 marked. drawing of the color line, as above in- dicated, what will, be Professor Haynes’ function?- What will his influence with his race amount to?,” ’ . If the Department of Labor’s “mobilization of colored labor” i$ to be proscribed and circumscribed -by ‘such hateful and hurtful re- striction, Professor Haynes’ influence and efforts: must nécessarily, be nil, and he might: as well. renounce ‘his high-sounding title, re: sign his position, and, emulating thé traditional Arab, “fold his tent and quietly ‘steal away”——back to the schoplroom’ to teach ‘the un- tutored of his race the real meaning of “democtacy.”. © . _.. When the Department of Labor appointed Professor Haynes to “represent the race around its council table as an advisef,” as has been-announced, was, it camouflaging the race? weet : When it sent him forth from State to State to-hold conferences “to “mobilize colored labor,” was,it merely handing the race a stone when: it was crying for bread? - : : 2 ‘When it.conferred upon him the title of “Director,” was it meant to more effectively DIRECT race discrimination and -segregation to the highest point of restriction? Pies Until we are-convinced that’ the President’s pronouncement in favor of maintaining “the laws inviolate”. was but a coinage of the. intellect, which we ate loath to believe, we cannot-help but assume that the Department of Labor’s entering the ranks of discriminators is but to contribute to the riot of oppression. i . Professor: Haynes, the race looks to you.as the “adviser” around’ your department’s’council table, to correct this evil. “If you WILL NOT, .or CAN NOT, your usefulness is ended. *- * The colored race, with its fighting men—loyal fighting men— and its open purse for the Government-—-WANTS ‘TO, and HAS BEEN TRYING, to help'win the war for democracy. . - Why should the. Department of Labor, and other departments and bureaus practicing’ discrimination and_enforcing segregation, attempt to misinterpret.the Presjdent’s “to make the world safe for democracy”? : . : 2 - WHERE IS THE CONSISTENCY? We respectfully call the President’s’ attention, and the atterition of the War Trade Commission, to the fact that whife the race has moré than 100,000 of its fighting: men over in France helping to win the war. for democracy, and more than 200,000 of our men. in camps in this country training to. offer their blood and lives’“to make the world. safe for democracy,” the War Trade Commission, in. this. “democracy” ‘in which we live, maintains SEPARATE toilet rooms for colored employees who had: to pass the same civil service exami- nation their white co-laborers had to pass, and’ who maintain a de- portment and cleanliness and .presentibleness of dress riot one whit below that of their white co-laborers.’. . “We also call the attention of the President to the fact that in the Treasury Department, into which the race has poured millions ‘of. its money. for Liberty Bonds and War Savings Stamps, separate toilets are maintained for cultured, refined and intelligent and effi- cient‘colored employees, just as if they were lepers. How long will discrimination and segregation be maintained. in Government aoe here in Washington while. this’ “democ- racy” is fighting, with the aid of colored mien and women, “to make the world safe for/democracy”? 2 Is there not a bit of inconsistency, at this particular time, in dis- crimination and segregation for any class of loyal fighting; Amer- ican citizens? =}. : Are these department heads ‘and bureau chiefs conforming td the President’s appeal to the people. to maintain‘ the laws .“inviolate” when they. lend aid and comfort to the enemy by making a: loyal, ‘patriotic contingent discouraged by hateful discrimination: ahd damnable segregation? ‘ : : PATRONIZE RACE ENTER- PRISES. In season and out of ‘season we have urged upon the colored people of this city the necessity of patrom- izing colored mei in business. ‘There is, it must be said upon the: part of “many colored “business men. a. dis~ position not “to let their own peo- ple patronize ®them.” Very fre- quently poor and tardy service is the return which -the colored man’ in business’ will give to. his. patrons of color. Very frequently obligations are not kept, work is not -done either promptly or properly when ‘the obligation is kept. But, on the whole, the fault is not so much with the colored. business men as with the colored public in’ general, It.is a lack of: thoughtful appreciation of just what it does mean to the race for eyery colored person to throw cisry penky that he can. in the way of his own people. It is up to the colored public to make the colored merchant what he should be. It is the only means by which the ‘race ‘will ‘ever: rise’ from its present de- pendent status to one of commercial power. It is the only wayby which the colored boys and girls now tin- ishing- in the country's. institutions can ever gain a livelihood at the vo- cations for which they are trained. Patronize the colored men in busi- ness, even though for the time being you do so at some.sacrifice. You are thereby helping naj only him, but yourselves, your “children, and your children's children. Z THE BLACK BAYONET FIGHT. _ ERS. With the prevision of a sneer, never more did Abraham Lincoln speak. than when he foresaw the black Ameritan’ fighting with -¢lenched teeth and glistening bayo- nets in the foreiront of the battles for freedem. x” The .news dispatches .which oi course come- from French sources, but, garbled as they are, bear the following eloquent testimony to the “words of. the sainted. Emancipator: “London, Ang. 7—American: col- ored troops: brigaded with the ‘army of General.

If there was ever a play that commands the attention of Washington theatre-goers, it is "The Rosary," at the Howard Theatre this week. It is a play that every sex should see, old and young. Tom Brown displays great dramatic ability and his portrayal of Father Brian Kelly. the Priest, is immaculate. Babe Townsend, who never fails to elicit admiration and applause, takes the character of Bruce Walton. He sends a thrill through your body. He is the master of the role. A. B. Carmethiere, who assumes the character of a villain, plays his part well. Will E. Cook, who never fails to create laughter in his characters, is 7th and Tea St. N. W. 26th Matinees: Tues.

His every appearance elicits merriment and laughter. He is Will E. Cook, alone. Miss Susie Sutton cannot be excelled. While her role appears easy, it is one of the most difficult. Miss Abbie Mitchell assumes a double role—the twin sisters—Mrs. Walton and Alice Marsh. Her acting and impersonation of the two characters was one of admiration. Moneyes were very good. The music of the orchestra was one of the entertaining features of every performance. Mgr. Thomas is certainly giving his patrons up-to-date shows.

Come Early for Seats That "18-to-45" draft disturber of the peace of mind of voluntary and involuntary bachelors is still causin' a number of useless incubuses referred to by old Noah Webster as "bachelors" one continuous nightmare. Jim Cobb, who ever since he done sprung into exotic fame has been the town's major domo, beau brummell and coupon cutter, and who would just as soon as not accept the custodian of some roll-top or flat-top desk in the Judge Advocate's office as an exemption to army service, ain't slept a wink since the bill was introduced in Congress. He's had Doc. Curtis examine his heart four times; had Doc Hurst take an x-ray of his kidneys five times, and a number of itinerant "cherrypodists" examine his feet to see if they are too flat for outrunnin' German shells and Turkish harums. But all of them pronounce him "fitter than the fittest," and the Provost General thinks he'd make an ideal shock trooper. Nev Thomas, who has been makin' "loop the loop" patriotic speeches, when he wasn't giving Doc DuBois hail Columbia, happy land, and who has been cablin' the boys at the front to give the Huns the hook, has been experiencin' a rapid action of the heart that is more rapid than the Pennsylvania limited on a down grade. Everybody Nev meets he asks them how soon he will have to go, and often wakes up in the night and alarms his neighborhood with his shouts of "Charge, Chester, charge! On, Stanley, on!" and with "At midnight Bocardis lay in his tent dreaming of the hour," and sundry marshal exerpts. Nev wants to go to the front so bad that he's willin' to be exempted on the same ground what Tom Jones one time advised his pastor to admit was true as a savin' defense. Ever since the new draft bill has been slumberin in Congress, Andy Thomas has been mentioned in Pershing's list of "missing." If Andy was sure he could fix up a royal flush hand, while the Provost Marshal was backin' four nines and the joker to win, he'd come out in the open, but as General Crowder usually holds the best draft hand, Andy refuses to sit in the game. Little Lord Fauntleroy has drawn a diagram of his hairless dome, and is preparin' to insert that as Exhibit A in his questionnaires, and accompany it with his record as the best superintendent of darktown schools (in his own personal opinion) the town ever had. His brother-in-law, Eddie Burrill, ain't been seen on the Rialto or on Piccadilly Lane since Secretary Baker recommended bachelors between 31 and 45 as shock troops. A lot of the eligibles who have been more or less earnest in their urgin' the country to remain in this rough contest until the Huns are made to kiss the hand what has been smitin' them, but whose wives have been earnin' from $40 to $100 per, are busy as nailors writin' out resignations for their wives to hand in just as soon as the draft bill becomes a law. It is sure mighty hard on the brothers, and they are doin' a lot of figurin' Doc Sum Wormley, who for the past year has been backin' all baritones off the boards warblin' "The Warrior," has cut out that particular Harry Burleigh interpretation, and has announced that he will substitute "I Didn't Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier" in its place. Doc, who usually, after he got through pullin' molars, salivatin' bipeds and shootin' "no pain" stuff into the gums, was in the habit of strollin' over the Rialto to meet friends just "back, back from Baltimore," hasn't been seen for a week, and a friend told me he had even had his telephone number taken out of the telephone directory, and his sign removed from his house, hopin' that General Crowder might not locate him. John Lewis, president of the Industrial coinage factory, who used to tell all the scandalously pretty women that he hadn't hit the 35 mark, is now tellin' everybody that he was born the very day the Rebs fired on Fort Sumter. Jim Waters, who wanted to get a commission as general in the French Army to lead the Sengalese at the first battle of the Marne, has suddenly discovered that his eyesight ain't strong enough to see trench lice, and that his feet are flatter than pancakes. Tom Jones, with no chance whatever of bein' called, unless the War Department decided to resurrect Lazarus to storm the first line trenches, imagined his youthful face would queer his age, and so hiked to Canada to tell presidin' judges up there how to render bootleggin' decisions. Armand Scott has writ back to his mother in North Carolina to find out whether he was born in the dark of the moon before or immediately after the flood. Doc Frank Davis has made affidavit --- Uncle Sam Needs Our Men. Let the "PORO SYSTEM" take care of you FORMULATED, 1800 "PORO" HAIR GROWER MADE ONLY BY Mrs. Amboe Turulo Malone ST. LOUIS — MISSOURI FOR DANDRUFF, FALLING HAIR, ITCHING SCALP; GIVING LIFE, BEAUTY, COLOR AND ABUNDANT GROWTH THIS STYLE OF BOX ADOPTED JUNE 10, 1911 PRICE 50 CENTS "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY that he is so knockkneed that if they would put him in the army he'd gekilled the first fire, because of his legs travelin' en masse formation Doc Cherry, who made a reputation last winter, or thereabouts, as a puglist of the king variety, declares that if his mind is a blank as to his last fistic encounter, it is too blank-ety blank to stop German bullets. Dick Thompson, who is the chief oracle on war matters when Emmett Scott ain't lookin', expresses the opinion, sort of ex-catheral, or somewhat akin to it, that all useless bachelors too decrepid to make shock troops of, and who are just too useless to dig a grave for, can be used to peel potatoes and haul garbage and offal from the fields or camps. I've prepared a list of voluntary and involuntary bachelors of the teakwood complexion variety who have been buyin' Liberty Bonds at a discount, and who have been makin' War Savings Stamp speeches, and doin' other odd jobs in the Patriotic League—just battin' good enough to be bench warmers—which I can furnish General Crowder on a moment's notice. When Jim Cobb, Nev Thomas, Andy Thomas, Doc Sum Wormley, et al, join the Khaki League, I'm figurin' in hiring the Marine Band to head the procession what will see 'em off, and have it play General Crowder's classic favorite, "All coons look alike to me." About the first of October you'll hear this announcement reverbin' around these diggin's and go recherrchin' an reboundin' down the corridors of Time, "They are offl" and when you do, you'll find the followin' voluntary and involuntary bachelors in the line-up, all 500 hitters in the Deadwood League: Doc Sum Wormley, left field; Nev Thomas, center field; John Cromwell, right field; Jim Cobb, first base; Jim Waters, second base; Andy Thomas, shortstop; Jim Collins, third base; Walter Pinchback, catcher, and Aaron Gaskin, pitcher. Then there will be a second team, usually styled the "Shanigans," what will be composed of grass and otherwise widowers who have been one long spell of nightmare to sundry domesticated fowls who are down in the census reports and economic statistics as "fooled husbands." And after this team passes in review down Pennsy Avenue on the way to some camp there will follow another team made up of husbands who are dependents on their wives for support. As a grand finale to their departure, the whole bunch will join in that one-time popular refrain, "And how I hate to leave you," while the throngs along the street will swell the chorus of "I don't care if you never come back." Accordin' to the latest dope, the number of bachelors killed in the war exceeds that of married men by umteen thousand. This, at least, is encouragin', don't you think? They say that every mornin' when Emmett Scott gets up, about 6 a. m., he finds a bunch of odd sizes and colors 'of from "32 to 45" year-old bachelors campin' on his front steps prayin' for intercession to keep 'em out of the draft, and that when he gets down to his office he finds another bunch of 'em what forms a line longer than the line of handshakers what used to call on the President New Year's Day, waitin' to tell him that they have flat feet, disintegrated kidneys, perforated lungs, hernia, piles, and a lot of other distortions what Doc Curtis can write out a regular stock prescription warranted to cure for $3 plus the new Government tax of $10 for practicin' his profession. Emmett has been thinkin' he had some troubles, but, bless your soul, they are just beginnin' to sprout like weeds in a bed of onions. Em- mett simply listens to their tale of woe, with a sort of Chinese blank expression, and refers them to the "statoots" which will provide that all bachelors be used either as shock troops or to do "essential" work, like pickin' cotton, and "sich" like. COLORED MEN NOMINATED. Three Colored Republicans Win Honors. Charleston, W. Va., August 10. In the state-wide primary, held last Tuesday, three colored men were nominated on the Republican ticket in as many counties for members of the House of Delegates, the lower branch of the legislature. The nominees were: J. V. Coleman, Kimberly, Fayette County; Harry J. Capehart, Keystone, McDowell County, and T. G. Nutter; Charleston, Kanawha County. Legislative candidates, in fact, members of that branch of the state government, are not novelties in West Virginia, few terms having passed in the last twenty years without race representation. But at no time before have there been so many candidates, nor has Kanawha County before given a colored man a nomination, though there were two previous attempts. The honor of breaking through the barriers came to T. G. Nutter, an attorney-at-law, former Grand Exalted Ruler of the Elks, now Grand Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias and secretary-treasurer of the bank recently organized here by colored citizens. Of the six nominated from among fourteen candidates Nutter was third. Mr. Capehart is also an attorney, and, coming as he does from a rock-ribbed Republican county, is most certain of election. The other nominee, Mr. Coleman, is a laboring man, having worked in various capacities around coal mines all his life. He was second of the four winners among six candidates. The colored population in none of these counties is one-sixth of the whole, that of Kanawha being only about one-tenth. G. P. O. NOTES. Mrs. Sadie J.

Agt., 314 East Second St. Oklahoma City, Okla. --- FRENCH CEMETERY TELLS WAR TALE Row After Row. of Crosses in Sleepy Village Symbolize Spirit of France. 22 AMERICAN DEAD THERE Woman Strawing Flowers Upon the Graves of Yankee Soldiers Mourne the "Pauvres Garcons"—American Describes Visit to Cemetery. New York.—An American officer with Pershing's army; in France has written in a letter to his wife this moving description of a visit to a French cemetery: "Come with me, then, to this little village on the banks of the ——, a sleepy little village nestled in the broad valley through which the river flows. In ordinary times a village of a few thousand inhabitants, it is now almost empty because most of the people who could afford it have fled to safer places, tasting for the second time since 1914 the bitterness of the war as it affects the peaceful civilian. "It is late afternoon, warm and sunny. We stroll down the main street together past the old church, once a handsome structure but now badly weather worn and almost in ruins. Further on we pass the ruins of an old Roman wall which marked the limits of the 'city' in Caesar's time. Our footsteps turn us to the right into a little lane, which leads out to the country up the gentle slope and toward the front. After passing under the railroad bridge the lane branches off abruptly to the right. It soon disappears through a stone gateway and we find ourselves in the 'new' cemetery, called new because the demands of this terrible four years' struggle have been so urgent that the old cemetery is overpopulated. It was large enough for the normal population of the village, but death has stalked often through the streets these last four years and its victims must have room. "A little gravel path, laid out with mathematic straightness, runs through the cemetery. First, there are a few civilian graves huddled together at the near end as if they had been crowded to make room for the other tenants. Then on the right row after row of graves of French soldiers marked by huge wooden crosses, and for the most part covered with those hideous beadwork floral pieces that the French use. On seeing them, one understands how Jean Valjean recouped his fortunes. You remember the story, no doubt. There were graves of infantry, cavalry and arillery, and once in a while that of an aviator, but wherever one goes it is always the infantry that predominates. Here is the grave of a Chinese worker, there that of a Mohammedan, but all bear the well-known phrase which means so much: 'Mort pour la parle!' Graves of Americana. "As I wandered along through row after row reading the names and wondering who their owners might have been I was startled to see on the other side of the path a single row of graves, at the head of each a prim little cross, different somewhat from those across the way and painted in khaki. Then I knew who these newcomers were. There were 22 of them, each hearing a little round identification tag. I instinctively reached up to feel if mine was still around my neck. These 22, among the first to give up their all for the patric so far across the sea, were arranged in perfect alignment like a platoon in drill. I couldn't help saying to myself: "Well, when the Master of the Great Unknown commands—"Heroes; Attention to Muster" you all will and answer here." "They were plain little graves, hideous almost in their newness and nary a sod to cover them. But had they been forgotten? No, indeed; for on each lay a little bunch of flowers, put there by the kind hands of the women of the village. These people are so kind, so thoughtful. They, at least, will never forget. Even as I stood there thinking about all these things a woman came up, very poor she seemed to be, yet she carried a huge basket filled with flowers, which she carefully distributed all along the row. As she came up to me I heard her say, almost to herself and thinking probably that I did not understand; "Pauvres garcons, ils sont venus do st loin!" "I couldn't help it. I went up to her and shook her by the hand and thanked her in the names of those sleeping there and in the name of their mothers and sisters and sweethearts back home. If I knew where to write, I would write to those 22 mothers and tell them that their boys are being well looked after. "Before I could say anything more to the woman she was gone. She said she, must keep one bunch of flowers for her marl over yonder on the other side of the path. There were the serried ranks of the French, on our side of the path only one little row, and then off in a far corner, away from everything else a little group of German graves, hld among a clump of trees as if shrinking from the advancing hordes of French and their new allies from across the sea. It all symbolized so well the two armies, the French and the American, one great the other small but growing, standing side by side against the Boches who lay in the corner against the stone wall. "In the upper part of the cemetery was a group of workmen digging. They had been digging all day long and for many days, for there were many rows of graves yet unfilled. There must be room for those yet to come. Supplies for the Front. "Along the railroad that runs past the cemetery train after train passes, loaded with supplies and munitions and men, going up toward the front. Could those sleeping here but know it! Could they but know that France, as ever since those terrible days of 1614, is standing fast, holding the enemy at bay, and bearing the brunt of this terrific struggle! They must know it, for they all sleep so peacefully. Their part is done. They have given everything they had to give and unbegrudgingly. For them the distant rumble of the cannon has no misgivings, for they sleep secure in the belief that victory some day will be ours. Sleep on, cohrades—for I am privileged to call you comrades—your work is over. You have well earned your rest. Those of us who are left will carry on the work you so well began. "Just as I left the gate, 'turning homeward, a strange procession appeared down the lane, and I stopped to let it pass—a huge camion, painted war gray, followed by eight grizzled territorials, their rifles slung over their shoulders pollu fashion. They were dirty, unshaven, and their uniforms faded and torn, but, oh, so typical of France, torn and wracked by four long years of war. On the truck was painted the word 'Munitions.' It was not mislabeled, for it carried cannon-fodder that had served its purpose, and had been used up in the struggle. "I came quickly to attention and saluted. It is a custom of the country, often done without thought or feeling, but this time my soul was in it. I was proud to thus render homage to one poor common soldier as he passed on his list: long march. "Open wide the gates and give the newcomer room! Give him a comfortable place in that furthest row, for he must have rest and peace. The leaves in the trees rustled, the torn and faded flags fluttered and the tin tricolor cockades on each cross tinkled—thus was the newcomer welcomed into his last earthy home." CORPUS UNION AND BROADCAST Lieut. Robert E. Lee, U. S. A., grandson of Gen. Robert E. Lee, the commander in chief of the armies of the Confederate states during the Civil war, is fighting for the United States. Leutenant Lee has the mark as a military leader set by his famous grandfather as the goal of his efforts, though he will be doing his utmost for that Union which his grandfather strove to destroy. General Lee's fame as a soldier is secure, for he is rated by military experts as one of the greatest, commanders the world has known. If Leutenant Lee inherits his military skill there will be no question about his chances of being rated a military genius. Maj. William Fitzhugh Lee, Simpson, a grand-nephew of Gen. Robert E Lee, recently died while on duty in France, according to a confirmed report received here. Major Simpson was in charge of the American school of machine gunfire in France. No particulars of his death, except that it was due to apprehensions, have been received. The Lees are in the fight. N. Y. AIR RAID GERMAN JOKE Comic Paper Says American Women Are Keen on Latest Paris Novelties. Amsterdam—a cartoon in the latest issue of the German comic paper Jugend-pictures a German air raid on New York. The scene is a New York roof garden, from which the sky is shown ablaze with bombs, shrapnel and fighting planes. An American "multimillionaire" is shown escorting his richly clad wife, who is said to be "shrinking in terror before the apparition in the sky." He reassures her by saying soothingly: "Well, my dear, you have always been keen on having the latest Parisian novelties. Now you've got them!" Eagle Hut Represents Last Word In Economical Eating in British Capita- tal. Menu Shows Great. Varle London—Fourteen cents for a satisfying meal. Twenty-five cents for a superlatively filling repast. These prices reveal that the high cost of eating should have no terrors to the American soldier or sailor "on his own" in London. It represents that last word in economical eating even for the English capital, where prices are uniformly moderate. Even the bigger public eating places, where large turnover allows a low charge, the lowest-price charged for a modest meal is tenpence—20 cents, while the meal which costs the Yankee fighter a shilling costs the civilian as much as 85 cents. Moreover, it is American food. Not every American boy in olive drab or navy blue who lands in London has a literary tourist's ambition to eat at the Cheshire Cheese or the Blackbriars or any of the other quiet inns made famous by Dickens or Thackeray. Many of our fighters do not care for the ponderous dishes of the two-decker novels, but yearn for modern home eats. Where King Ate Pancakes. And they get it, at 14 to 25 cents, at Eagle Hut, the famous Y. M. C. A. center, where King George and Queen Mary recently enjoyed pancakes a la American. The 14-cent rate is cheaper even than that charged at the national model kitchen, where a three-course meal of soup, beef and pudding costs 18 cents. Mrs. Arthur Coke of London, who makes out all the Hut meals, not only meets all government requirements, but sees to it that there is proper and attractive variation in the dishes from day to day. The food is plain, to be sure, but it all is of high quality, and the portions show no stinting. Breakfast and supper each cost 14 cents. A breakfast consists of cereal, sausage or bacon, bread and tea. A recent supper consisted of sausage, well done, thick slices of bread with butter, marmalade and tea. The same food costs from 25 to 30 cents at the West-end restaurants. A typical shilling dinner includes Scotch broth, stewed steak or cold beef, potatoes, buttered beets, currant pudding, bread, tea or coffee. The soups are not the dishwater type, either, but of good stock. An Eagle Hut shilling supper provides the American fighter with meat pie containing more meat than crust, or sausage, potatoes, jelly, bread and butter, cake and tea or coffee. Commercial eating places charge two or three times this amount, often as high as 85 cents, within governmental restrictions. Variety to Choose From. Variety to Choose From. The American soldier or sailor also can choose from extra dishes at equally low prices, a choice of fish, pl, eggs prepared in various ways, baked beans, salads, fried onions, rice-and-marmalade, custards, jellies and other sweets which are strangers to camp mess. The prices charged at the Eagle Hut are from two to six cents less than the ordinary restaurant prices. In addition, this is the one place where the American boys can get that most typical home delicacy, American pancakes with maple syrup, which the king and queen sampled recently. Twelve cents buys a brace of cakes with maple syrup, and the first half-month's demand for this favorite totaled one or more helpings for 6,124 men. It is no wonder then that Eagle Hut feeds between 2,000 and 2,800 American fighters daily, and that the noon hour is a continuous rush which taxes to the uttermost the efforts of the waitresses, all women, who volunteer their services and minister with smiling patience and friendliness to the appreciative lads from the United States. Eagle Hut dispenses other commodities, tobacco and candy topping the list of favorites. A few Americans, forgetting the many advantages and economies found at the Hut, have complained that their favorite brands of American tobacco, if at all obtainable, cost them more than it did at home. They did not know that there is a high import duty on cigarettes and prepared tobacco for pipes and "making" nor that there is a home tax which is causing the English tobacco concludes to revise their prices often. Smoking imported tobacco in England today really is a luxury. The wise stranger has given it up in favor of the brands the English use. Hastings-on-Hudson, N, Y—A big extension of the Zinsser Chemical works to manufacture gas bombs and gas defense equipment has been started here. Barracks for numerous soldier guards will be built. This means the establishment of five-mile dry zone, which would close sections of Hastings and Dobbs Ferry. It is expected the plant will be made one of the biggest munitions factories near the Atlantic coast. [Name] Here is a man who would rather be a brakeman in the United States than a ruler in Europe. Peter Sobleski, a descendant of King John III of Poland, says the wild beast of Berlin offered him a kingdom. Sobleski recently arrived in Oakland, Cal., from Arizona, where he has been working as a brakeman on a railroad. He has made application for enlistment with the United States army as an interpreter. Sobleski's uncle, who lives in Los Angeles, two years ago was offered the throne of Poland under Germany's dominion. He declined, preferring to remain a citizen of the United States. The job was then offered to Peter, who also declined. LEAKY ROOF IS NO BOTHER Incident Shows How Yankee Ingenuity Copes With Wartime inconveniences. St. Louis—Louis P. Clark, now with the American expeditionary forces in France, in a letter to his sister here, tells how Yankee ingenuity can cope with wartime inconveniences. He save: "When we got over here we were billeted in a queer little French village. The house I got into had a roof all punched full of holes. When it rained water flooded the room. For two nights as I slept rain trickled down my neck. The third night I sat up. The fourth day I found a five gallon bucket and moved my cot to where there was only a single hole above. I nailed the bucket to a rafter under the hole. It brimmed over after four hours. The rest was easy. I had an alarm clock down in my pack. I dug it out. That night I set it for 2 a.m., and at that hour I got up and emptied the bucket. I did that for several nights. Frenchmen around the place thought I was the smartest guy they had ever seen or heard of. Believe me, these fellows are learning by watching the Yanks do things." LISTED AS SLACKER, BOY DIES AS HERO Dayton, O.—Although government officials searched throughout the United States for John Rong of Montgomery county, whom they believed to be a slacker, Rong died a hero on the battlefields of France. While reading the list of casualties of the American overseas forces a few days ago, relatives and friends found Rong's name with his Montgomery county address and his home address, Rome, Italy. Rong had enlisted without notifying his board. BIG SPHAGNUM MOSS ORDER Seattle Red Cross to Make About Twelve Carloads of Surgical Dressings. Seattle, Wash.—Two hundred and fifty thousand sphagnum-moss surgical dressings, or about twelve carloads, will be turned out by the Seattle Red Cross before September 1. Seattle has been asked to make half of the half million allotment for the Northwest. Sphagnum moss is gathered in the swamps on the north bank of the Columbia river near its mouth. The moss is assorted, thoroughly dried, and then prepared for dressings. First Lay-Off In 65 Years Worcester, Mass.—Henry Clay Graton, founder of the Graton & Knight Manufacturing company, took his first lay-off from work recently when he celebrated his eighty-eighth birthday anniversary by going out for a twelve-hour automobile ride. The firm was established 65 years ago and he has been punching the clock 812 regular days, and some Sundays, every year Britain Plans Suitable Instruction to Suit Men for London Exhibition Shows the Skill of Wounded—Re-education of Blinded Soldiers—Wage Question London—The soldier broken in the war will have his chance of future employment at work, suitable to his malmed condition and at a wage that will enable him to live without seeking charity. The only reason for any possible failure of the plan will be due to refusal on his part to take part in the training which has been provided for him. The ministry of pensions and the ministry of labor are making every effort to provide suitable instruction and to obtain posts for the men as they are trained. Already courses of training are established in the engineering and building trades, the manufacture of aircraft, wholesale and retail tailoring, the making of leather goods, furniture making, diamond cutting, wood carving, toy making and many other trades. An exhibition is now open in London in which are displayed the methods of training and the resulting variety of work turned out by the disabled soldiers or sailors. During the early days of the exhibition a conference of delegates from allied countries was held in which details of the after care, work and the treatments for the restoration of the wounded were given. Plan for Alding Blind. Sir Arthur Pearson described the methods in use at St. Dunstan's for the treatment, training and re-education of blinded soldiers. He said that the actual re-education and training was divided into two sections, the classroom and the workshop, the men's working day being divided between the two. Typewriting was taught in the classroom, while in the workshops the largest number of men were learning cobbling. Some men learned mat making only. Basket making, the oldest of the staple industries for the blind, was taught in many varieties. The other industry taught in the workshops was joinery. The men of St. Dunstan's acquired these industries in a quarter of the time usually supposed to be necessary to teach a blinded man a trade. Shorthand writing, by the aid of a machine which enabled the Braille characters to be taken down, was also taught, as was telephone operating. Dealing with the provision of surgical supplies, Sir-William MacEwen said that when a hospital for the limbless was established in Scotland they were told that, in view of the thousands of men who had lost limbs in the war, it would be impossible to get enough artificial substitutes unless allens were employed. To meet the difficulty a skilled limbs committee of physicists, engineers and surgeons was formed, which had directed the production of limbs by wood carvers, pattern makers and mechanics in shipbuilding yards and engineering shops, and thus they had been able, by employing home industry aloose, to supply artificial limbs in sufficient quantities and quality to satisfy requirements. Methods of Treatment. Prof. V. Putti of Bologna dealt with the surgical treatment pertaining to amputations. He described the methods of Dr. Gluiano Vanghetti, who first conceived the idea and the means of drawing living energies from the stump of an amputated limb and transmitting voluntary movements to an artificial member. It is now possible for a man who has lost both hands to use a knife and fork at table, dress himself, and even shave with a safety razor. This miracle is due to the treatment known as cinematization, and the perfection to which artificial limbs have been brought. In order to obtain this voluntary movement the muscles are allowed to overlap the bone of the stump and are so arranged as to give two protuberances similar in shape and size to two small fingers. The muscles are so arranged as to give alternately the flexion and extension movements and where that cannot be obtained a rotary movement can be given. In this way artificial limbs, instead of being merely supports for the stumps, can themselves be manipulated. In another department a meat safe—of which one workshop has sent 250 to France—can be seen, and a touching side of this exhibit was a tray of things for one-armed men—jigs of this and that sort to enable one-armed men to cut wood and wire, and to polish frames, rulers for one-armed clerks, billiard rests for the one-armed player, etc. The wage question has been a serious problem, but the difficulties have been largely solved. Up to the present very few of the trained men transferred to employment have failed to obtain wages of $10 and over per week. It is hoped that with the extension of the work of the department exchanges working under the ministry of labor the employer who considers that a man's pension is an opportunity to cut wages will find himself badly left. TEACHER QUITS JOB; WON'T TEACH GERMAN Syracuse, N. Y.—Rather than continue the teaching of German at Saranac Lake, N. Y., Miss Mabel N. Everett, Syracuse university graduate, has resigned her position in the public schools of that place. "The teaching of German has become more and more distasteful all this year," she says. "Pupils objected to continuing the course, and in most cases merely kept it up to get their credits, that they might enter college." Ralph B. Everett, Miss Everett's brother, is now France with the Twenty-third engineers. PRETTY SENORITA IS A "HE" Discipline Causes Soldier From Jefferson Barracks No End of Trouble. Portland, Ore.—Discipline caused a soldier from Vancouver barracks no end of trouble here. The enlisted man, while on a furlough, went to a masquerade ball clothed as a Spanish dancing girl. After the ball, while walking to a restaurant for supper, he passed an officer, and promptly saluted. The spectacle of a rather pretty "girl" saluting aroused the officer's curiosity, and an investigation revealed the true state of affairs. "It is against the regulations for an enlisted man to discard his uniform during war times," said the officer. "Return at once to the barracks and report to your commanding officer." The soldier followed discipline again and obeyed. The appearance of a "dancing girl" within the army precludes more trouble, and as the soldier's uniform was in Portland it took some time to straighten matters out. After being threatened with court-martial and other terrible things, the officers took pity on the soldier and let the incident pass with a reprimand. HERE'S PRIZE ESCAPE STORY United States Flyer in Germany Gents Out With an Incubus, but Loses it. New York.—This story is told of an American aviator, whose machine had been forced to land within the German lines and who was taken prisoner, but returned a few days afterward to American headquarters, safe and sound, in his own machine: After his capture he was taken before the commanding officer, who informed him that they were desirous of obtaining certain information regarding the allies' forces and had decided to send him up in his own machine accompanied by a German officer, who would shoot him instantly if he deviated from orders. Accordingly, he took his machine up; his German companion sitting beside him with a drawn revolver at his ribs. While in the air he began to ruminate on the, much-overrated "German efficiency;" for, as he said, "I had, of course, determined that the German observer should never return to his lines, even if it cost me my own life. I was-thinking just how I could do it, when all at once I realized that the man beside me was not strapped in. I couldn't help chuckling as I looped the loop." ROUSED BY DYING CHILDREN Death of Six From Starvation in Germany Brings Attacks on Government. Amsterdam.—The death of six children at the German reform school in Tiefenort, Saxe-Welmer, from what practically amounts to starvation, although it is politely called "undernourishment" in the official reports, has caused widespread comment in Germany. Assailed in the grand ducal parliament for tolerating such conditions, the government put forth the diverting excuse that the children died from "tuberculosis brought on by deficient mental conditions." This, says Voraewarts in a scathing editorial, is "a disease that is likely to prove more serious and more mysterious than the influenza epidemic in Spain." HUSBAND, BROTHERS IN WAR Pennsylvania Woman Has In All Thirteen Relatives in Service of the United States. Scranton, Pa.—Although her husband is in the army, her nine brothers are in the service and the husbands of three sisters are also wearing khaki. Mrs. Mary E. Cottrell of the North Scranton section doesn't want a service flag displayed from her home. Ample satisfaction will come her way, she says, when she knows her husband and relatives have given effective aid to Uncle Sam in the trenches. Indiana Prove Patriotism. Denver, Colo.—Denied a right to serve in the United States army, 100 Colorado Indians are doing their bit by working on the highways of this state. They are building modern roads over the trails blazed by their forefathers through forests of the Rocky mountain region.
