The Great Poro College VOL. XXXIX. NO. 14 The NOTABLE CAREER AND M TWO GREAT CHARACTERS VISIT NEW YORK AND CLEVELAND AND BALTIMORE Poro College, St. Louis, Mo.—A 50,000 Corporation With $250,000 Yearly Business—Employing 20,000 Women—Filling 800 Mail Orders Daily—Using $15,000 for Stamps Yearly—Completing an Office and Factory Plant Costing $300,000—One Hundred Employed at the Home Office. Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turnbo Malone, of St. Louis, Mo., originator of the Poro System of Hair Preparations and the pioneer in that business, pays New York a visit. Last week New York had the honor and pleasure of entertaining Mrs. Malone, who originated the Poro System of Hair Culture in 1900, and incorporated under the laws of Missouri in 1914, for $50,000, fully paid up, of which she is secretary and treasurer, and Mr. Malone her husband, is president. From last year's statistics, presented The Bee reporter, is shown in round numbers $250,000 business done—20,000 agents being employed—100 girls and young women daily employed at the St. Louis office and factory, receiving 800 letters daily—a mail order house using $12,000 worth of stamps in mailing Poro Hair Preparations to their agents and customers in this country, Canada and the islands. In September they move into their new $300,000 factory and office plant, occupying five floors, on a lot 136 ft. by 142 ft. On Wednesday, at a meeting of her New York agents at 201 West 141st Street, Mrs. Malone organized them into a Poro Club, with the following officers: President Mrs. Georgia Dyer; vice-president Mrs. Inez Clarke; secretary, Flora Green; assistant secretary, Miss Alberta Gauss; corresponding secretary, Miss Estelle Evans; treasurer, Mrs. Ethel Stewart. The following committees and chairmen were appointed: Mrs. Mary Livingston, sick committee; Mrs. Eselin Douglas, reception committee; Mrs. Lucille Bennett, investigating committee. The first and third Tuesday nights at 8 o'clock were agreed upon as the regular meeting time, and the next meeting place, September 3rd, is to be with Mrs. Georgiannia Dyer. 225 West 137th Street. Their Continued Racial Uplift—Not Content With the Largest Gift From One Family in the History of the Y. M. C. A. of Five. Thousand Dollars, They Are Still Willingly "Lending a Hand." In these times of conservation and [Name] MR. A. E. MALONE President of the Poro College of St. Louis, Missouri. The Washington Bee the necessary meatless and wheatless days, no two people in all Christendom are more active in the work of philanthropy as well as helping to "keep the home fires burning" by giving employment to more than fourteen thousand race women than are Prof. and Mrs. A. E. Malone. Mrs. Malone is the founder and treasurer of PORO COLLEGE, St. Louis, Mo., which is no doubt the most remarkable institution of its kind in the States conducted by a race woman. Mrs. Annie M. Pope Turnbo Malone is a native of Metropolis, Ill. Being left an orphan, the responsibilities of life were thrust upon her at a very early age; but this was no handicap to this now remarkable and world-renowned woman, who, "while her companions slept," was toiling upward in the night. Perseverance, thrift and ambition have led her, partially, to the goal of her highest ideals. As an exemplification, visit Poro Corner, St. Ferdinand and Pendleton Avenues, St. Louis, Mo., and there view an edifice complete in detail as to construction, equipment and furnishings. It is five stories high, fireproof from attic to basement, occupies more than half a block, and takes two hours to go through the different departments. Mrs. Malone's war work has been commensurate with that of her other great work, and the employees of PORO COLLEGE are 100 per cent Red Cross. Prof. Aaron E. Malone is a native of Kentucky. His genial smile, hearty hand-shake and genuine hospitality are evidences thereof. He, too, was left an orphan, but nevertheless, being endowed with tenacity, determination and a vision of the best that there is in life, he has forged his way to the front ranks. He has done considerable educational work at various institutions. His longest period of service at a particular place was ten years, as principal of the Lincoln High School, at Quincy, Ill. As field manager for the Howard-Severance Company in Chicago, he had an extensive experience. Two of the Most Progressive Business Operators in the United States—Extensive Travelers—Coming Dedication of the Greatest Building in the United States—Entertained in Baltimore by Rev. W. Sampson Brooks. Baltimore. Md.. Aug. 26.—The name of the Malone's is a household word in the great West. and, in fact, in the United States. Poro College, an institution that was founded by. MRS. POPE TURNBO-MALONE. Mrs. Malone, is today a great monument in St. Louis, Mo., and to the colored American race their new building which is in course of erection is to contain over one hundred rooms and is said will be the greatest structure in the United States owned and operated by colored Americans, and will equal any white business enterprise in the United States. Poro College building will be attended with great ceremonial display. Friends are coming from all parts of the country to do honor to two of the greatest race benefa tors. Mr. and Mrs. Malone are two of the race's philanthropists. Their annual contributions to Christian and benevolent institutions amounts to thousands. They travel very extensively. They lead while others try to imitate. Their visit to the sessions of the Business League in Atlantic City was one enjoyable event. On their return from Atlantic City they stopped in this city, the guests of Rev. W. Sampson Brooks, one of the most influential citizens in the State of Maryland. He at present is pastor of Big Bethel, and is a man of remarkable ability. He is the author of a handsomely bound book entitled "Footprints of a Black Man." It is one of the most interesting classic productions ever published by a colored American. Mrs. Brooks, wife of Rev. Brooks, is one of the most genial hostesses in the city of Baltimore, and a companionable wife. A dinner was given to Mr. and Mrs. Malone on Monday by Rev. and Mrs. Brooks, on which occasion Bishop Hurst and several other distinguished citizens were present to do honor to two enterprising Americans—Mr. and Mrs. Malone. In the evening Prof. Malone, and his accomplished wife lectured to a large audience in the interest of the $35,000 rally for the benefit of Rev. Brooks' church. It was an interesting event. Business engagements forced Mr. and Mrs. Malone to return to St. Louis, Mo., and they had to forego their trip to Washington, where many citizens waited to welcome them. MISS HELEN ADAMS MOORE.

Somewhere in France.-The first colored boy from Washington to fall in action over here was young Lewis, member of the former First Separate Battalion, District National Guard, now a unit of the 372d United States Infantry.

Moton, Honored Well Known Citizen, Present. Atlantic City, N. J., August 24. Regarded as one of the most significant events of the year and an epocal one in the annals, of the race is the nineteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, which met in this city this week, beginning August 21st, and ending Friday with one of the most notable social functions of the season among Afro-Americans. The outstanding features of the sessions were the addresses of welcome by Governor W. E. Edge; Mayor Bacharach, Dr. R. R. Moton and Hon. Emmett J. Scott; special assistant to the Secretary of War. Governor Edge's Address. In delivering the welcome address on behalf of the State of New Jersey, Governor Edge spoke of the great progress made by the race in the face of the blind prejudice which confronts it. He said that the attaining of education first was the stepping-stone to branch out and become a part of the business of the country. The Governor gave a clear definition of democracy and said that it must be emphasized at home as well as abroad. The Governor said, in conclusion, that Isaac Nutter is recognized from one end of the State to the other as a man you can trust. Mayor Bacharach followed the Governor. He dwelt upon the men of color who readily responded to the present draft and also when a call for twenty or more men was made ninety or more always responded. His rendering of the poem entitled "A Little Service Flag" moved many of the visitors to tears. His gift of the key of the city to the league was greeted with applause which lasted five minutes. President Napier, in accepting the key, said that since the organization of the league, in its annual sessions from city to city, Atlantic City leads, as this is the first key that has ever been presented to the National Negro Business League. Dr. Moton's Response. With his native witticism and eloquent manner of reaching his audience, Dr. R. R. Moton, the recognized leader of his race, ably responded to the welcome address of Governor Edge and Mayor Bacharach. He singled out inspiring facts, revealing the intense loyalty of his race, and cited the thrilling events of the battle of Carrizal. Hon. J. C. Napier, president of the body, ably presided and was assisted by Charles Banks of Mount Bayou. Miss., and Charles H. Brooks of Philadelphia. His annual message was brim full of interesting facts and greatly inspired the vast audience. The message brought by Captain Spingarn and eloquently accentuated by Dr. Roman of Nashville, Teenn., also elicited unstinted applause from the audience that filled Fitzgerald's Auditorium, in which most of the sessions were held, and was one fraught with facts of vital import to the race and nation. It was clearly demonstrated at this session that the mantle of the illustrious Dr. Washington has fallen upon Dr. R. R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute. Mr. Emmett J. Scott, in beginning the symposium on "Winning the War," made one of the best patriotic addresses that has been delivered in this city. Throughout his memorable address he reached his vast audience and aroused a kind of enthusiasm that is needed for the winning of the war. His address was followed by Capt. Arthur, Spingarn, of the Surgeon General's Office; Dr. C. V. Roman, who has been employed to improve the health conditions among the colored civilian population around cantonments and camps; also by Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics, Department of Labor; Dr. C. H. Tobias, one of the secretaries of the Y. M. C. A. work among colored men, and Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, Y. M. C. A. secretary. The symposium discussion as to what Negroes are doing to help win the war proved to be one of the interesting features of Thursday morning's session. Among the many distinguished speakers and visitors were Judge Robert H. Terrell, Dr. George E. Haynes, director of Negro economics of the Department of Labor; Mrs. Booker T. Washington, A. U. Craig of the Food Administration, T. M. Campbell, district agent of the extension work, in Alabama; Dr. J. W. E. Bowens, Prof. W. T. B. Williams, C. C. Spaulding and a number of bishops and Major J. T. Tandy, the noted architect; Thomas L. Jones, and De Reef Miller of The Bee, and others. One of the most effective addresses was that delivered by Mr. John W. Lewis, president of the Industrial Savings Bank of Washington, D. C. Mr. Lewis spoke as follows: Mr. Lewis' Address. Mr. President and My Fellow Countrymen:—There are recollections as pleasant as they are sacred and eternal. There are words and faces and places that never lose their hold upon the heart. They may be words that we seldom hear amid the whirl and competition of life, faces that we may never see on earth again, places that we are but seldom permitted to revisit, but they were once the scenes, the associates, the joy of our life; they had a controlling influence in training our aspirations and in shaping our destinies, and they can never be wholly forgotten. So it is with our meetings. We are thrown together annually, and while it is true that each year brings us closer together, yet our meetings are tinged with a sadness that comes over us when we think of those who have left this earthly realm and gone to that haven of rest from which no traveller returns. Never in the history of our Government has it become as necessary for us to meet in a business capacity as now. We all must and do recognize the great world war, which has been upon us for the past four years, and the end of which does not seem to be in sight. It is, indeed, very easy to tear down and destroy, but the great problem arises when the time for rebuilding is with us, when the time for the readjustment of affairs in this country comes, it will tax to their fullest capacity the brains of the world. It is now that we, as representatives of twelve million citizens of this country, should begin to lay the foundation to do our part in helping to readjust the economical conditions of the United States. This cannot be done by essays and orations; it must be done by the thinking people of our race; and they must put their thoughts into action, not by words, but by deeds. The commerce of the country must be adjusted to meet the conditions of the country, and the conditions of labor must be adjusted to meet the conditions of commerce. To meet these unprecedented upheavals it will require money and brains, and I stand in your presence and defy any man to say that this race of ours is lacking in either of these necessary adjuncts. It is only a matter of time when we will have educated our race to the importance of having faith in you, himself and God, and we will carry to a successful termination the part we are to play in the readjustment. We have in this country about Continued to page Four.

Appeals for Moral and Financial Support, Send Representative 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.

The Man Who Is a Patriot and a Friend to Colored Americans: (Washington Correspondent to the East Tennessee News.) Representative Richard W. Austin of Tennessee is proud of the fact that many of the colored soldiers now with Pershing in France came from his district. Mr. Austin takes frequent occasion to eulogize the excellent work the colored regiments are doing on the western front, and the loyal service their brothers are rendering at home in ammunition plants, on the farms, and in the mines. In Tennessee the colored people have not only furnished their full quota for the Army, but Mr. Austin states they have liberally subscribed to the Liberty Loans, the work of the Red Cross, and the Y. M. C. A. "It gives me pleasure." says Mr. Austin, "to pay a deserved tribute to the loyalty, fidelity and patriotism of the colored citizens of America." ELDER E. A. OSBORNE. Christian Evangelist Who Is Doing Good Work. Elder E. A. Osborne, the great Christian evangelist, is now doing good work among the people. No man is better known to the people. Here's some news what some folks of the "show-me" variety around this center of the universe thinks is too good to be true. A report was circulated around the fringes of society and is percolatin' through the crust of rumor that Andy Thomas is goin' to clean up, redecorate and otherwise make Howard Theatre make a sound like renovation, and that Brother Murray is goin' to manicure the Hiawatha Theatre. If this is done, and I ain't got no right to suspect rumor being untrue, it will surely suggest to some of the "show-me" denizens of this burg that the millennium is just in the offing, ready to make its entrance at the head of the procession which is to celebrate "victorious peace." It's been a long time since Howard Theatre had a manicure and a shower bath, and they say that Andy, who has been as busy as a drownin' man catchin' at the last straw, has concluded the hour is here, or almost, when a bath of paint and a manicurin' of dear old Howard is just the proper thing. Rumor—and you know you hear almost any kind of rumor in this burg—from one that Judge Terrell is to go to the front as generalissimo for all the Allied Army, to that John Dancy had decided to do the Carnegie act—give away all his money—has it that Brother Murray is goin' to make Hiawatha look like she use to look right after she was built and decorated. If these two things come to pass, it will surely mean that money will make a loud noise for these two worthies, 'cause it will make 'em both just a trifle more invitin' for some of our ladies who are just natural cranks on things beautiful and things immaculate. Hurry the job up, Andy; make haste with the plans, Brother Murray, and we will all give you the glad hand. The Sage will rise up and call you man's benefactor. Got me? I was talkin' with Atkinson last week about his uplift club, and he told me a lot about it. 'Pears like most of us misfits in the scheme of civilization dote more on shindigs and card parties than we do on upliftin' the downtrodden, so a job lot of syncopated fellows around town just started the Uplift Club to be odd fellows. They are odd, all righty, for instead of gettin' their clawhammers cleaned and pressed each week to circulate around among the climbers of the super-uppercrust, they are circulatin' around among the lowly and needy, just to see if there ain't a chance to shove a bit of sunshine into their lives and give them a grain of comfort. Once or twice I have elucidated on this here staying down and around where the common people sojourn and pointed out that there is more satisfaction in touchin' elbows with the common people than there was in attending a party given by Mrs. Watchercallent and a stag given by Mr. Awfullyindebt, and so forth and so on. But there are a few birds of passage around here who think if they can attend a party given by Mrs. Lastroseofsummer, or poke their nose in at a luncheon given by Mrs. Oncewho wasn't, they have made their peace with God, and all that they have to do is sit tight until Gabriel blows his trumbo, and then shoot straight on to heaven. You know "yours truly" can remember when some Mrs. Oncewasn't was not in the classy class, and when the upper-crusters would not even give some Mrs. Lastroseofsummer the once over. Presto, change—a big spread, and then Tom, Dick and Harry, who owns a full dress suit of an old vintage, make a grand rush to cover. Presto, change, and Mrs. Old Cit and Miss. Highclass have their last season's gown benzined by Jesse Foster on time payment, just as soon as they get an invitation to anybody's pink tea. For me, give me a bunch of unsuspects, like John Lewis, Bill Bowie, General Forest, Dan Freeman, Will Board, and a few other "raw-raw" recruits around here who are doin' somethin' and doin' it without makin' a noise like society. But, gettin' back to that Uplift Club, let me ease it over to you with all the speed of one of Walter Johnson's fast balls that that Uplift Club is doing good work, and if we had a few more blown in the bottle fellows like them to hit the trail where the lowly and needy camp, this old burg would, in a short time, blossom into a human rose garden. ```markdown ``` The other day I saw one of these upper-crusters what wouldn't invite John Lewis or General Forest to his house for a party if it would beat the Kaiser, tryin' to negotiate a loan for $25 on a promissory note dated far enough ahead to give him ample time to die to beat it. Did he get the loan? Not on your tintype. Take it from me, I'm with and for that Uplift Club, and, further, I'm goin' to camp out with the 'common people FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST.

Do you know one thing for a dead moral certainty? Well if you don't, let me hand it to you. It is this: Some of these syncopated colored business men are a queer bunch. The other day I mosied up to a cafe up in the Northwest, where I used to feast on high prices and short circuit service, before I beat it over to Atlantic City to the Business League meetin', and when I got to this cafe, what's very industrial, or industrious in makin' charges, saw this sign in the window: "Closed until September umteen." Now, at this time, when everybody is gettin' their's as fast as they can, and restaurants are badly needed, even with their overcharges and short-circuited service, here's a jinx what just closed his doors in order to take a vacation. Now you couldn't have found no white man with four thimbles full of dog sense in his billiard hall what would have closed his business in the rush season. But you can't tell nothin' about us Hams; we are just one damn thing after another, and that's all there is to it. In some of the street cars in most cities I have visited they have signs up, reading: "Don't Talk to the Motorman." I sure do wish they would post signs like that in these syncopated barber shops. There ain't no place on earth, on this side of Satanville, where you hear so much St. Elizabeth talk as you do in a colored barber, shop. In white shops the barbers are so quiet that you can hear a pin drop from a soldier's uniform over on the Soisson front, but in a colored barber shop the usual run of barbers have a South Amer- ican trained poll parrot backed off the boards for chatterin'. The other day I happened in one of these dugouts to get a shave. Just about the time I got seated Mr. Fastblack came in and went to talkin' with the barber about the ball game. Mr. Barber got interested, so interested that when he went to describin' how Foster slid into second base that he just slid the sharp side of the razor into my chin for a two-bagger. About the time he got the flow of blood stopped, Mr. Highyaller came in and started to talkin' with him about the war. Bein' an authority on barage fire, strategy and hand-grenade throwin', and just how to win the war, he got mightily interested right off the bat, so interested that when he begun to tell all about how Gen. Foche drove a wedge into the German right wing, that he just drove a one-inch wedge into my cheek with his razor. As Charley Chapman would say, "that was suffish" for me, and I got up and handed Mr. Barber a line of talk that was incurred with a lot of sulphur, fire and brimstone—emphatic stuff you can't find either in the Old or New Testament, and then walked out. Yes, sir, I do wish, and General Forest and Brother Jaycox agrees with me, they would hang a sign in all syncopated barber shops readin', "Don't ON YOUR LIFE, Talk to the Barber."

Hurries Aid to Sick and Dependent Wife of Colored Soldier Who Is Now at the Front. Never was there a better proof that "bread cast upon the waters will return threefold" than was in the appeal for aid to the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee by a colored woman at Mount Clair, N.J., last week. Last February this woman's husband pledged to give $4 per annum to the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee to aid it in providing relief for needy dependents of colored soldiers. He made two quarterly payments on his pledge, and then he was called to the front, and is now "over there", doing his bit—his MIGHT—for world democracy and his race. In the meantime his wife became ill; she had to be taken to the hospital for a serious operation. Instead of being able to make the third quarterly payment on the pledge of $4 her husband made, she herself asks for aid, and because she needs it. In her letter she wrote: "I would be very thankful for any little help you may send me, as I need it very much. I hope that after a few months I may be able to work at some light work—after I get stronger. You don't know how I pity all those poor dependents you have to look after. May God in His good mercy help you and bless each one of you and raise up friends and money." To this woman the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee immediately sent a check for a generous sum, sufficient to relieve her needs, and thus the bread her husband cast upon the waters—the four dollars he pledged to the committee to provide relief for others—has been returned to them more than tenfold. He did his bit for the committee before being called to the front. He is now doing his MIGHT for civilization "over there," while his good wife is suffering, at home, and in need, and the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee has recognized his bit and his might by providing for his sick wife left behind. If the colored people in this country, and especially colored men of means and influence, could only be aroused to the urgency of relief among dependents of colored soldiers, the fund of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee would accumulate sufficiently to enable it to promptly take care of every appeal for aid. It is singularly and regretfully notable that but a very few of our colored men and women whose names most frequently appear in the public prints appear on the books of the committee as contributors. The contributors to the relief fund, up, to date, have been largely from the common people—the lowly of the race—while the "really prominent" as "leaders" have contributed little or nothing. One minister, who has enthusiastically worked for the committee's cause, recently said: "Every colored person should consider it an honor—an evidence of a duty performed—to have his or her name appear on the books of the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee as a contributor, and those who do not, show by their reluctance to contribute a mite that they do not appreciate the services being rendered, and the heavy sacrifice being made by our brave black soldiers, who are fighting and dying to make better the condition of their people. While they are giving their blood and their lives over there, we over here should give our dollars to provide relief for their needy dependents. While they are being perforated with German bullets we ought to unloosen our purses for their needy dependents." Every colored man and woman with a spark of race pride and appreciation ought to, if they have not already done so, send at once a contribution to the National Colored Soldiers' Comfort Committee, at Washington, D. C. Many of our race are squandering their money—dollars—on idle pleasure, on drink and luxuries, but won't contribute a penny for the relief of needy dependents of brave black soldiers who are fighting like heroes for them on the bloody battle fields of France. It is the basest of ingratitude not to contribute something for the relief of needy dependents of colored soldiers who are writing history for their race with their own life's blood. With winter coming on, with the more than one hundred thousand colored soldiers now in France on the battle front, and with the many thousands soon to sail, the urgency for relief will be increased. The committee is urgently appealing to every colored person to help, and help NOW. (Special to The Bee.) Columbus., Ohio.—One of the most effective women's organizations in the country engaged in war activities has its home here in Ohio's capital city, it being known as Knitting Unit No. 1. Its members, to the number of 250, are all colored women of this city. The unit was organized the 15th of November last, Mrs. E. W. Moore, wife of Dr. E. W. Moore, the able pastor of Second Baptist Church here, being the one who conceived, planned and effected its organization. Up to August 5th this organization of patriotic colored women had used up more than 600 pounds of yarn in making sweaters, helmets, wristlets and socks for colored soldiers, and had raised more than $842, through their own efforts, to supply their organization with requisites needed in their work of patriotism. The knitting of garments and articles for the boys at the front is done at the church and at the homes of the members, whose ages run from 12 to 83 years; those in the octogenarian class being quite as nimble with their fingers and fully as enthusiastically patriotic as those who have not yet reached the age of maturity. A better idea of the work this unit has accomplished, other than that which might be conveyed by the mentioning of the number of pounds of yarn used, and the amount of dollars raised for work, may be had in citing the fact that up to date it has knitted and shipped to colored soldiers more than 150 sweaters, 200 pairs of socks, 150 pairs of wristlets and almost 100 helmets. No other organization of colored women can approach the splendid achievement, and no other white organization, perhaps, outside of the Red Cross, which is a national organization, has equaled it. Mrs. Moore, who is superintendent of the unit, has injected her spirit of zealousness, of enthusiasm and of earnestness into each and every member. A splendid, self-sacrificing woman, with whom system, practicability and enthusiasm finds consort, she has done much during her short two years' residence in Columbus to endear the members of her church and the public generally, white as well as colored, to her. Although she has accomplished much—achieved, perhaps, far more than any woman of the race in recent years in Columbus—she has achieved it without violating her modest demeanor, her unselfish devotion to her people, seeking always, in so far as possible, to efface herself and bestow reward upon her co-laborers. Having established three auxiliary units to Unit No. 1, this beneficent organization is now planning another auxiliary of young boys not yet 18 years of age, to make aviators' vests. The three knitting auxiliaries to the unit are Hill Top, Renaissance, and Macedonia Church. Soon after Rev. E. W. Moore came from Philadelphia, where he had been stationed for some eighteen years, to Columbus to assume the pastorage of Second Baptist Church, Columbus' largest and one of the most effective church organizations; he returned East to bring to Columbus his bride, who previous to her marriage was a Washington, D. C., girl a product of the schools of that city. With her beautiful voice, which had been heard around the world, as a member of the Fiske Jubilee Singers, and her earnestness, and energy, she threw herself into church and social work in this her new home, and where such work was greatly needed. There has hardly been a single line of activity which might promote racial betterment, especially of our women and children, but what Mrs. Moore has engaged herself. She has proved a splendid auxiliary to her courageous and helpfully achieving husband, and there are none here but what agree that their coming has been a blessing to Columbus. In talking about the great work the Knitting Unit No. 1 has done, Mrs. Moore insistently used the pronoun "we" or "they," meaning the officers and members, never appropriating to herself deserved honor by using the singular "I." Mrs. Moore, whose maiden name was Helen Adams, is a Washington product, graduate of our public schools, and at one time before her entrance into fame was a clerk in The Bee office. Prior to going abroad she was "the sweet singer" in John Wesley Church's choir. On her return after a long stay abroad and before her marriage to Rev. Moore she was connected with Miss Anna Burroughs' school.—Editor The Bee. GRAVES'. Do you want home cooking, hot from the oven, go to Graves', 16 G Street N. W.

Muncle, Ind.—So determined to enter the army was Paul Love, age eighteen, that, according to his own story, he turned forger in the hope that a criminal record would make it easier to enter his country's service. The youth, on being arrested after he had tried to pass a bad check for $17 on C. W. Koehlinger, owner of a bicycle store, told the police he had read several times in newspapers where criminals had been released by courts when they agreed to enlist in the army. He said he had been rejected when he tried to enlist and he thought by committing forgery, being arrested and then promising to join the army to escape punishment, the road might be opened to his entrance into military service. The youth is being detained and he may be recommended for army service. LIEUT. PAT O'BRIEN DID IT Famous Ace Clears Up Mystery-That Puzzled College Authorities For Years. Berkeley, Cal.-A college prank which proved a mystery to the University of California for several years was cleared up here recently when Lieut. Pat O'Brien, the American "ace" who fell 8,000 feet into Germany and then escaped from a Hun prison camp, confessed to an audience of 10,000 in the Hearst Greek theater that he was "gullty." On St. Patrick's day several years ago the university woke up to find its beautiful gold letter "C" on Charter Hill, overlooking the campus, shining forth in brilliant green. Investigations and probes failed to disclose whose hand had redecorated the big "C" and the school officials never knew until Lieutenant O'Brien made his "confession." SPEEDER HAS NEW EXCUSE Feared Hat Would Go Out of Style, and Judge Let Her Go. Albany, N. N.—A local attorney earnestly pleaded before Police Magistrate Brady for a young married woman who had been arrested for speeding her automobile through the business district here of 40 miles an hour, but he could make no visible impression upon the court. "Have you anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon you?" asked Judge Brady of the woman. "Well, you see, it was this way, your honor," she replied. "I had just bought a $40 hat and I was trying to get home before it went out of style—" Where the attorney failed she succeeded, and went free. SALESWOMAN "SHIPS" Boston. — Resourceful.

CAMERA IS REAL EYE OF THE ARMY Photographer Must Encounter Battle Perils Practically Without Fighting Chance. IMPORTANT PLACE IN WAR Hundreds of Snapshots Taken From Air Are Cunningly Fitted Together to Make Complete Photograph of Any Given Section. London—To call the British airmen the eyes of the army is a common metaphor. Even at the beginning of the war they did much observation for the artillery besides playing the leading part in general reconnaissance. But their present value in all matters of observation greatly exceeds anything that was expected at the beginning. Without aircraft in important numbers, and without aircraft, whatever their numbers, which can hold their own against the enemy, an army is practically 'blind'; and without their cameras airmen would not be the all-seeing eyes that they are. For, as the airman is the eye of the land forces, so the camera is the eye of the airman. It at least provides that part of his vision which is most penetrating and accurate. A series of photographs from the air is a wonderful piece of work. Hundreds of snapshots go to make it, and these are so cunningly fitted together that a complete photograph is obtained. So the work goes on, section by section, and by degrees is procured a picture, which cannot lie, of the whole of the enemy's defenses from flank to flank of his lines. As his dispositions are constantly changing, or at least being elaborated in important respects, there is no rest for the aerial photographers and no end to their work. Every day on which there is a reasonable visibility until the end of the war they must fly into the face of danger to discover new secrets with their cameras. The danger is of a particularly unpleasant kind, because throughout the operation they are within effective range of Archbald—the antialcraft gun—which is the flying man's most inveterate if not his most deadly enemy. To take a series of photographs of an enemy position needs a special coolness and nerve. A Trip With the "Eye." This is a typical quiet morning in a day of the photographers of the air. A machine is run out from the sheds, and pilot and observer mount to their places. It is not a fast airplane, as speed is now counted, but each man is armed with a machine gun, and attack from the air will be met with stout and efficient resistance. Attack from the ground cannot be answered. It can only be evaded by maneuver. Through a hole in the fuselage or body of the machine a camera points earthward, capable of reproducing a considerable area on each plate exposed. The device by which the snapshots are taken is as simple as it is ingenious, and it is almost "tool proof." In half an hour or so the machine has crossed the lines at a height of little more than 4,000 feet. Far above are small, fast scouts, ready to attack any aerial enemy that may attempt to interfere with the work below. From the first, unaircraft guns are uncomfortable attentive, but the bursts can at this stage be defeated by climbing, diving or swerving movements. It is when the actual objective of photographic attack has been reached that the real difficulties and dangers come. Further dodging and diving are no longer practicable, since an accurate pictorial record can only be obtained by steady flying. The airplane must be as level as possible when a snapshot is taken. Yet the enemy knows the purpose of the invader and chooses this moment to make his utmost effort to destroy him. The Archi-bursts are thicker than ever. The range has been nicely judged; the bursts are well aimed. Under Difficulties. In the midst of them the two must do their work as steadily and quietly as if the air were still. Up and down, over the narrow section of ground whose secret must be won, the pilot steers, for the most part an even course. Shells burst closely round them on this side and that, beneath and above. At moments the pilot is forced to swerve, but he must quickly get level and resume his ordered course. Meanwhile the observer studies intently the pitted earth below, which would appear to the uninitiated as indefinite as a huge plowed field. But his practiced eye picks out its essential features, and, regardless of the shells, he presses his lever at carefully timed intervals. At last the deed is done—just as a shell bursts close under their tail and tosses them upward as a wave might lift a cork. Fortunately the damage is slight. "Finished?" asks the pilot through his telephone. "Finished," says the observer. And they swing for home with an inevitable sense of relief. It is all in the day's work—a very ordinary job. But even the airman's most ordinary job is out of the common as a risky experience. As for the knowledge obtained, it may prove of vital importance. The camera is more than an eye; it is a weapon. And the hand that controls it must be as purposeful and steady as if it held a rifle.

KIDNAPED, LOST. 32 YEARS Connecticut Woman Traces Family, Finding Brother in United States Army. Trenton, N. J.—Thirty-two years after she was kidnapped while playing near her home at Mount Kisco, N.Y., Mrs. Ida Dinges Haywood of Long Hill, Conn., learned of her identity and communicated with her brother, Lieut. George Dinges, U. S. A., stationed at Tullytown, Pa., near Trenton. She is the wife of A. A. Haywood. Ida May Dinges was two years old when stolen. She was subsequently adopted by a family named Hebberd. It was not until the death of her foster parents that she learned who she was. She traced many Dinges families in various parts of the country and finally found her brother through the war department. Lieutenant Dinges said he plans to have the bodies of the foster parents exhumed, in order to examine legal documents which were buried with them, and which he thinks may disclose circumstances relating to the kidnaping. Contributed $100,000,000 of Her Product to Exports During the Last Year. New York.—The American cow contributed $100,000,000 of her product to the exports of the United States in the last year, nearly all in the form of condensed milk used by the expeditionary force in France. A compilation made by the National City bank shows that the quantity of condensed milk exported in the year ended June 30 will approximate 600,000 pounds, compared with 200,000 pounds for the corresponding period of 1917. These shipments are valued at $70,000,000, which sum was brought up to the century mark by exportations of butter and cheese, according to the National City bank's figures. In the year ended June 30, 1917, the American cow contributed $50,000,000 of the nation's exports and the preceding year $25,000,000. WHIPPING POST DOES TRICK Loafers Disappear When One Is Erected on Scene of Favorite Hang Out. Birmingham, Ala.—An old-time whipping post with accommodations for two has been erected at Five Points in this city. The post stands out prominently before a background of trees and has written across the top: "For Lonfers." Five Points has for years been the favorite hanging-out place of scores of the city's idle rich. Following the work or sight order and the subsequent erection of the whipping post the usual gang of loafers putting cigarettes with idle hands rummed into the pockets, has totally disappeared. FROCK-MADE OF FLOUR SACKS Wisconsin Woman Designs One That Sets Pace Among Fashion Followers. Sheboygan, Wis.—Flour sack dresses are again coming into their own as a result of the war. Time was when grandma's every-day summer white dress was made of flour sacks, but "times had changed since grandma was a girl." Then the price of dress goods began to soar again. Mrs. Anna Schuler has made a white summer dress out of 12 flour sacks and it's decidedly attractive; so much so, in fact, that it has set a pace among followers of local Dame Fashion and the demand for the new style dresses is now general. Gets Potash From Dust. Pittsburgh.—James D. Rhodes, a Pittsburgh manufacturer, says he has discovered a process by which he can extract potash from the dust from cement during manufacture in the kilns. Federal Judge Charles P. Orr heard the process explained and ordered Rhodes to enter into an agreement with an Ohio cement company to experiment with a view of adding the government to obtain potash for munitions and fertilizers. ENGLISH TRAIN YANK AVIATORS Finishing Touches Are Given in an Airdrome in Quiet Country Spot. FIRST SOLO FLIGHTS THRILL Fledgling Flyers Go Up Alone Only After Course With Instructor—First Flight Is Closely Watched: An American, Airdrome in England.—This is one of the numerous aviation camps in England, where Americans are receiving their finishing touches as flyers. When they leave here for the battle front in France they know all that can be taught about flying. Only the school of experience can supply the post-graduate course that makes Guynemers and Luthers. The alrdrome is set in one of those beautiful spots that one calls to mind from classic pictures of English landscapes. It is early in June and the great level field that stretches away in front of the hangars is like a rich green carpet. Beyond there is a woodland, and in the distance is a range of low hills whose smooth contour recalls to Western Americans the foothills of California. It is a peaceful place and very quiet except for the droning of airplanes. At least a dozen are in the air and others are preparing for flight. Into one of these latter a young Kentuckian has just climbed. For the first time he is going up alone. Passes All First Tests. For weeks the British instructor has been with him constantly and he has passed successfully the major tests. He can fly straight, the instructor sitting beside him has made sure, and he can work the controls without fear or "nerves." He knows how to stall, to glide and to climb, and he has learned a good deal, too, about the important art of landing. On one memorable occasion the instructor has shouted to him above the roaring of the engine: "Shall we loop?" and they did. But hitherto, of course, the instructor has been the real pilot, explaining maneuvers, encouraging the young man to secure an accurate touch, and to become, as he must if he is to be successful, so perfect a master of the machine that he can make it fly of itself. The fact that it is his first flight is known at the airdrome and many eyes are watching to see him "take off." Gives Final Instructions. With a tremendous sputtering the engine starts. The instructor, standing on the step of the fuselage, holds to his cap against the hurricane raised by the propellers and shouts his final directions. He points to the instruments, shows what the engine revolutions should be, feels the controls, and bids the new "solist" good cheer. What the fledgling flyer's feelings are only those who have flown alone know. He is dropping the pilot and embarking on the great adventure. On a first flight alone the pupil's performance is carefully watched for any faults. Usually he is given a definite piece of maneuvering to carry out. A pupil is never sent into the air merely to fly about for a fixed time. Afterwards he will have more "dual" with his instructor, and much of the old teachings will be reported and emphasized. At this point perhaps the real understanding between instructor and pupil becomes manifest. Understanding and sympathy are important factors in aerial instruction. DESERTER WANTS TO FIGHT After Hiding in the Hills for a Year He Now Asks to Be Sent to War. Montrose, Colo.—After hiding in the mountains for more than a year in the hope of escaping military service, Orley Garber has surrendered himself to federal officers and asked for the privilege of fighting against Germany. Garber, who is twenty-nine, had dwelt alone among the peaks of the San Juan range of the Rockies. On his first venture back to civilization he picked up a newspaper containing an account of submarine raids off the coast of New Jersey. He rushed to a recruiting office and surrendered with a demand that he be sent at once to fight the Hun. As Garber had been posted as a descrter, he is now held in Montrose county jail awaiting action of the government.

THE WASHINGTON BEE Published by THE CHASE PUBLISHING COMPANY AT 1109 Eye Street N. W., Washington, D. C. Entered at the Post-Office at Washington, D. C., as second-class mail matter. WASHINGTON, D. C., AUGUST 31, 1918. GRAVE AND WEIGHTY. President Wilson in his letter to Mr. Emmett J. Scott anent the conference of colored newspaper men held in Washington in June, at the urgent solicitation of the War Department, said: "The problems considered by the conference of special importance to the people whom they represented are grave and weighty, and the whole state of feeling throughout the country will be helped by the frank and calm consideration given to these matters." The colored men in that conference, and the white Government officials who participated, were aware of the problems being "GRAVE AND WEIGHTY," and they DID approach them with calmness, born out of intense loyalty, and they DID speak of them with FRANKNESS. That was what they were called to Washington for. We wonder if subordinate officials in the various Government departments—department heads, bureau chiefs, and petty division chiefs—have caught the full import of the President's "GRAVE AND WEIGHTY" terming of the "problems" considered? We wonder if that "grave and weighty" problem of segregation of colored employees in the Treasury and other departments, and the discrimination practiced in the appointment of colored applicants to positions to which they become eligible by reason of passing civil service examination, and which the colored newspaper men petitioned be abolished, appealed to appointing officers? We wonder if the dead line for colored officers in the army—one of the "grave and weighty" problems suggested by that conference—has made an indent in the brain cavaties of responsible officials in the War Department who are subordinates to Secretary of War Baker? That conference, earnestly disposed, as the President said, to help "the whole state of feeling throughout the country by a frank and calm consideration," recommended fourteen specific things as absolutely necessary to the best possible morale, both among colored civilians and colored troops, in order to make of all the most efficient contenders for world democracy. Although two months have elapsed, but three of the fourteen specific recommendations, each and every one of which was "grave and weighty," have been favorably acted upon. The discrimination against colored eligibles for appointment to Government positions, and the segregation of colored employees in the Treasury and other departments, still remains in full force and effect. The confining of colored passengers on trains running through a democracy that is fighting "to make the world safe for democracy," even of colored soldiers in uniform, in jim-crow cars, and while the railroads are under Government control, still continues as a monument to inconsistency. The dead line for colored officers in the army—even the failure to give us an equitable number of officers BELOW the dead line—still remains the accepted policy of subordinates to our splendid Secretary of War, who declared he would not countenance discrimination. Have subordinates in the Government service—department heads, bureau chiefs, and petty division chiefs—heard the President's characterization of these problems as "GRAVE AND WEIGHTY," or have they, in defiance of him, and with a determination that has no perceptible dividing line between it and "lending aid and comfort to the enemy," decided that the voice of the President is not the voice of JUSTICE? Determined, as we were previous to the President's letter to Mr. Scott, to continue ABSOLUTELY loyal; ABSOLUTELY consecrated to "service and sacrifice," while at the same time contending for JUSTICE—nothing more nor less—for our oppressed peoples, we have been encouraged to continue our plea for EQUALITY BEFORE THE LAW by the President's denomination of our problems being "GRAVE AND WEIGHTY." Our bill of particulars is before you, Mr. President; they are known to your subordinates. We asked for nothing but what was JUST and in consonance with your declaration "to make the world safe for democracy." We only asked for those things which will cause our fallen heroes on foreign soil to bivouac in peace, and to make their bereaved loved ones left behind glad that these fallen heroes "fought the fight and kept the faith" for the land that gave them birth. Our problems ARE "grave and weighty," and they appeal for adjudication at a time when our men are cheerfully spilling their blood—far from home—for an ideal world democracy. The Richmond (Ind.) Blade in its last issue aptly says: "Edw. H. Morris, who is to the colored Odd. Fellows all that the Kaiser is to his much deceived nation, will find that General Ben Davis. and the loyal legions of that fraternity from all parts of America fighting for a peace with victory, and that real soon, at the B.

Bachelors, at best, are an excrescence the public can do without. No shams are to appear in the special war edition of The Washington Bee. Only men and women of merit. Dr. James E. Shepard, of Durham, N. C., is making an effort for a larger endowment fund. The colored press throughout the country is standing solidly by the President. seven fraternal organizations, national in their character, with a membership of one million seven hundred and fifty-six thousand one hundred and sixty-seven members, who, pay into these organizations annually seven million three hundred and twenty-two thousand and one dollars and twenty cents. It costs for operating expenses of these organizations sixty per cent, which equals three hundred and twenty dollars and seventy cents; leaving a profit of forty per cent, which equals in money two million nine hundred and twenty-eight thousand eight hundred and eighty dollars and forty-eight cents. The question is, how is this money being invested? My friends, just as long as you keep, this amount of money from being properly circulated, just so long will we be standing here discussing our rights as citizens. One of the ways which perhaps will enable you to demand some of your rights is to obtain something which the other fellow wants. We find it to be very important that we commence husbanding our own resources. We cannot do this by a one-man power, but must organize in those communities in which we reside. We must organize and develop business in the community in which we live and use our efforts to see that the spirit of organization spradds from one community to another, and after a few years the representatives of those communities can come together, and should the exigencies arise, we could then purchase a railroad, a steamboat or any other enterprise which may be needed for our protection and welfare. I come to you from the National Capital. I have spent night and day doing the best I could in trying to organize my people on a solid financial foundation, and in the twelve years I have been trying I have done very well, but have not accomplished what could have and what should have been done in the same period of time. With a few people, to be exact in number there were five, I succeeded in organizing a realty company, which accumulated in the neighborhood of seventy thousand dollars' worth of real estate, upon which a dividend of five per cent was paid for nine years. I organized a savings bank, with a capital of five thousand dollars, beginning business May 1, 1913. The first day the doors of the bank were opened to the public there were thirty-seven depositors. During the month of March, 1917, I purchased the sight at the corner of Eleventh and You Streets, in the city of Washington, had the building then on the sight razed, erected a building costing $28,000. The bank has increased its capital to $30,000, has 4,200 depositors, with savings accounts totaling $186,000. I am now constructing a five-story apartment hotel at the cost of $125,000, to accommodate my race when they choose to visit our city. If we organize and husband our finances, there is no doubt but that in a very few years we will become almos, if not quite, the equal of the Jewish race in the matter of owning and swaying the pendulum in our direction. As Lord Bacon has so ably written, "Tis not what men eat, but what they digest, that makes them strong; not what we gain, but what we save, that makes us rich; not what men read, but what they remember, that makes them learned; and not what we profess, but what we practice, that makes us Christians." These are great but common truths, often forgotten by the glutton, the spendthrift, the bookworm, and the hypocrite. ATTORNEY T. L. JONES. The Celebrated Lawyer in Canada— His. Royal Reception by the Canadian People—Interviewed by The Bee Correspondent. (Special to The Bee.) Toronto, Canada, Aug. 28—Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, of Washington, D. C., accompanied by Rev. A. L. Wilson, of Buffalo, N. Y., arrived in this city several days ago and both are quartered at the beautiful residence of Rev. Dr. W. H. Jones, pastor of Grant A. M. E. Church of this city, at 128 Elm Street. "The attorney, when met by the Bee correspondent, at first denied his identity, and insisted that he was Thomas Jones, going out to a little farm near the city to rest for a few days. He was finally told, by The Bee correspondent, "Your name is Thomas L. Jones, and you are from Washington." Then the attorney said "Yes, that's my name; but you see, I am hiding, trying to get a little quiet rest under the British skies. where a Negro is not lynched and where he is not jim-crowed and where little discrimination, if any, is male between man and man. I understood a Negro's life is even safe from mosquitoes 'over here." Continuing, Mr. Jones said: "You see, we are fighting a war for worldwide democracy, and in this struggle the Canadians, the French, the British and other nations have joined forces and are at the front, giving their heart's blood for the deliverance of the people; but hear me and believe me, this war will not end until the black man of America is allowed in full force to make common cause against the enemy; and I believe if given a chance under some competent Negro leader he will capture Berlin and destroy Kaiserism. The Negro soldier is no coward." Mr. Jones spoke at the B. M. E. Church at 2 p. m. Monday, and at night he addressed a large audience at the Grace A. M. E. Church, after which he was tendered a dinner by the Coronation Club of the church, consisting of fifty members, at their headquarters. Mr. Solomon Burdell is president of the club and was toastmaster of the evening. The dinner was largely attended and Attorney Jones made a speech that will never be forgotten in Toronto. Some of the sisters wept as he portrayed the horrors of war and what may be further expected if Germany is not exterminated from the earth. At one point Mr. Jones paused, and resuming, "Yes, that loathsome demon that is spitting the fire of death, havoc and destruction on land and sea, must be conquored. His days are numbered. The horrible deeds committed by her submarine in capturing and destroying ships freighted with human life and sending them ruthlessly and without warning, to the bottom of the ocean, has caused the Holy Spirit to grieve, angels to weep and archangels to moan, and God has decreed that tyranny shall cease and the spirit of the fatherhood of man and the brotherhood of God shall become the heritage of all." Lawyer Jones spends the most of his time out on a little farm near Toronto. Gossip has it that the attorney owns the place, but when questioned, he only smiles. "Wonder if I can raise black-berryed?" he asked your correspondent, who reminded him that he could, and cabbage and potatoes. Asked how he liked the people, he said: "I think the Canadian people are the most Christian-like, hospitable and considerate I have ever met. But, above all, I like the way justice is dispensed in the courts. Uninfluenced by the rabbel or those higher up, the judge sits stoic-like upon the bench, listening attentively to every word of testimony coming from lips of witnesses, and when the evidence is all in, he forms judgment and renders his sentence, in mild, smoothe, positive but convincing manner, giving you to understand, even though guilty, you have a friend on the bench, and the sentences are mild and humane." Mrs., Mary Jones will join her husband at Montreal, and after their visit to Niagara Falls, Buffalo and other points, they will visit Cape May, Atlantic City and other Eastern points. Mr. and Mrs. Jones will be given a royal reception in Ithaca, N. Y., where they were two years ago, and from which place their daughter graduated. WANTS ASSISTANCE IN THE SOLUTION OF A PROBLEM IN PSYCHOLOGY. Editor The Bee: I have had on my mind for some time a problem in psychology, or, at least, I think it is such. The problem grows out of frequently occurring incidents, among which the following are examples: Some years ago a colored man of more or less national notoriety was visiting in one of the outlying districts of Paulding County, Georgia. The day being exceedingly warm, and the man being afoot, he hoisted an umbrella which he was carrying, to protect himself from the rays of the broiling sun. He had gone only a short distance when he was accosted by a white man of the type known as "cracker," who said to him: "You air a stranger in these here parts, ain't you?" "Yes." was the reply. "Well, I thought so." said the cracker." "for no nigger in these diggins, ever carries an umbrella over him. We don't allow it: It makes them too bigity. You look like a good sort of a nigger, and I thought I would let you know that you will get in deep trouble if you keep that umbrella raised. My friendly advice to you is, put it down." In telling the incident to some intimate friends, the man with the umbrella stated that he followed the "friendly advice." and at his destina- The Management of the Pythian Building (formerly True Reformers' Building) invites the attention of the public to inspect the halls set apart for dances, for private parties; the main auditorium for public or large affairs, all of which are highly sanitary and well ventilated.

These friends, all men of more than a modicum of learning, some being lawyers, doctors, ministers and teachers, laughed most heartily at the relation of the incident, and many of them never meet the man who had this disagreeable experience without reverting to it with great hilarity, and, if there are others present, asking him to tell it to them. Recently, since it has become quite certain that the draft age is to be changed so as to embrace all men between the ages of 18 and 45, it is no unusual thing for women, and men beyond the draft age, to jeer and rail and laugh at those within it, and to ask them impertinent and insolent questions which have a tendency to annoy them. Now, here is the problem in psychology: What sort of people are these who can laugh at the indignities, sufferings and sacrifices of others? Have they normal or abnormal mental faculties? Have they any sense of discrimination? Have they any respect for self, or for others? Have they any conception of the decencies and amenities of civilized life, and of the duty which one man owes to another, not to make him uncomfortable? And then, when these questions are answered, another line of inquiry suggests itself, namely: Why do men seemingly enjoy the discomfiture and suffering of their fellows? I am seeking light on this problem, and I, therefore, appeal to the large and intelligent class who read The Bee to help me through the columns of The Bee to a solution of it. Or, after all, is this really a problem for a psychologist? Should I ask the aid of an alienist or a penologist? L. M. Hershaw. HOTEL DALE. Cape May, N.

GIBSON'S NEW STANDARD Auspicious Opening of the Fall and Winter Season of 1918 and 1919 by Whitney and Tutt "Smarter Set" Company in "Darkest Americans." By J. H. Gray. Gaily bedecked women and men in evening dress thronged. Gibson's New Standard Theatre to inaugurate the opening of the season of both the house and the company last week. Standing room was at a premium during all of the twelve performances. These vast audiences appeared here to do honor to Whit- .Howard Theatre.

Gibson, who spent money lavishly to produce the show, so that the people of this country could again see the "Smarter Set" in something greater than they had ever appeared in before. Salem Tutt Whitney appeared before the footlights at the end of the first act of every performance, and in his own forceful and appreciative manner delivered a neat speech, thanking the public for their interest displayed and Manager Gibson for making it possible for them to go out on the road again this season. The two acts are full of the catchiest kind of music, and all are received with evidences of delight. The chorus is large and lively and appears in many changes of costume and spirited dancing. It is really a pleasure to find musical comedy returning to sanity, and yet to be so replete with entertainment. The whole is a happy blending of splendid costumes, brilliant lighting, music of fine quality and gorgeous scenery, with music that is engaging, dances that fascinate and real fun in lines and situations. It is an example of the care and skill which mark the Whitney and Tutt offerings, and its gracious spirit sent home every beholder, every auditor, with pleasant feelings, if not real exultation. WASHINGTON FOLK AT Atantic City, N. J., Aug. 26.—Last Tuesday evening Mrs. Upshur, of North Delaware Avenue, entertained with a dance for her visitors.

MOTOR RACES PLANNED AT BENNING LABOR DAY National Speedway Association Announces Its Program Embracing Five Competitive Tests. Last Saturday night the National Motor Speedway Association announced its program for the motor races to be held at Benning on Labor Day.

The title of this new aggregation is "Darkest America." There are features that deserve the highest commendation. The scene is laid at Howard University. The University, Andrew Rankin's Chapel and the Campus are perfect. Dean Kelly Miller is the leading character in this scene. This character is assumed by Al F. Watts. Mr. Watts must use a great deal of dark complexion powder or paint to resemble Dean Miller. His make-up is too light. Alonzo Fenderson as R. W. Thompson, the correspondent, must get a little more size and weight. His characteristics of Correspondent Thompson may pass muster. But the two great actors in this play are Whitney and Tutt. Mr. Whitney as Abraham Scott DuBois Washington, Prof. Oldman, is a combination of Dr. DuBois and Booker T. Washington. Mr. Tutt as usual is the dandy sport and companion of Mr. Whitney, otherwise Prof. Oldman. Their acting is ludicrous and most entertaining. The singing and music are new and catchy. The scenery is the most costly and the most brilliant that has ever been put in Howard Theatre. The entire show meets the approval of the people. Messrs. Whitney and Tutt are favorites with th Washington theatre people and those who have not seen this show should not miss this opportunity: Wellington A. Adams has been selected by the members of the 808th Pioneer Infantry, Camp Meade; Md., to compose a "war song," which he has willingly consented to undertake. This is among the highest honors paid by a branch of the United States Army to a civilian of the race. The offer came to Mr. Adams through Sergeant-Major J. W. P. Vitulu, who paid a personal visit to him a few days ago at his office and laid the plans for the composing and publication of their number. FALL'S CHURCH GLEANINGS.

FALLACIES. - No. 7. essing the ‘Question. ; eee re ONG Tn em eee gies fallacies ‘due to improper premises (Genus ITI) is the one ‘called petitio principii, begging the, question.” Like the ignoratio ‘elenchi,\ it is usually classed as one: ofthe material falla- cies, i.e:, it is not a logical or formal fallacy. Mr. J. S. Mill classes ‘both of them ‘as a fallacy of confusion, « Among the varieties “of. petitio principii’ ate (1) arguing from what is not’ granted, (2) arguing ftom a synonymous word or term,:(3) af- guing from -something eqially un- known, (4) arguing from. what is more unknown, (5) arguing: int a cir- cle, and (5) “putting the cart before the horse” (Greek, husteron prote- ron). Petition ‘principii is defined as the iaNacy “in which; the premise appears manifestly tO’ be-the same as'the con- ¢lusion, or is actually proved from the conclusion, or is such as would naturally and properly be so proved.” Iu short, it is taking for granted the very thing to be.proved.- * OF this fallacy we are all often un- consciously guilty. |It is the most frequent,. of the innocent fallacies. Its“ limits are rather uncertain, for how can we always know whether or not we have improperly taken somie- thing for granted? It must be re- membered that all valid reasoning is ex concessis (from something ad- mitted), “ie, from “premises -already proved, or from “premises for. the moment,(pro hac vice, for this turn) conceded+ by the opponent. If we took the widest view of the ‘petitio, our survey svould cover: the . whole realm of history,’ science ‘and_ philos- ophy, for ‘everywhere we would ‘run against the® problenis, What is true? What: is admitted? “If we take a limited view of the petitio, with ref- érence: fo our every-day thinking and talking, little need be said of it, fur- ther than to identify it-and caution against ity."The literal meaning of “principiam” is “that which can be known of itself.” o “Attempting to prove -a “thing - by. itself, plainly it-is.an invalid argu- ment to say, “This is a book because it is a book.” Yet-we Bften meet with arguments. scarcely less puerile. This is practically what, occurs when: one attempts to detine a word by ising the safe term in‘a definition.’ Synonymous word.

It is like a man trying to lift himself by pulling it his ‘boot-straps. The French have | saying that often fits, such cases: ‘Cela va, san dire” (that goes with ut saying). It applies with éqiial | itness to most “unreal’ propositions , ieretofore noticed. | Arguing in a circle, How do you now Mohammed was’. a prophet? fecause the Koran ‘says so.

Most of the elaborate rea- joning employed in thé distussion of ntricate subjects is a movement in a ircle; for example, that of Spinoza n his Ethics, so it is charged. Plato n his Phaedo demonstrated -the im- mortality of the soul from its sim- plicity, and in his Republic’ he dem- nnstrated simplicity froth its immor- ality. A very wide circle. Where the circle is very wide and consists of a long chain of argu- nents, it is yery difficult-to discover he fallacy of begging... But in all uch cases it is like a man wandering er hours in the dark and then com- ig. back to .the place whence he tarted..

There are so many so-caied hair- growers on the market, a large, num- ber of which are nothing more than perfumed grease, it is-no. wonder. peo- ple get discouraged and lose’ faith in ‘all hair toni¢s, In deciding what to use on your scalp be sure. and get a remedy. of proven: merit. Seeby’s Quinade is a, highly medicated po- made 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 ex- pert chemist and is made under the stpervision of an experienced regis~ tered 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 sham- poo the scalp-about every two weeks with Seeby’s Quinasoap. Quinasoap ig made entirély out of pure vege- table oils, principally. cocoanut’ oil and is a thorough cleanser. Quina. soap lathers very freely. It leaves the hair ‘soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp ut- equaled by any other shampoo. | Do nat accept any substitute, bu J insist on getting Seeby’s Quinade anc Seeby’s,-Quinagoapy asking for then by the full name.
