FRIDAY ONE MEAT WHEATLESS WE NO BREAK CRAZZLE, TAIN OR BREAKFAST ROOTS CONTAINING WHEAT Race ANTI-LYNCHING SE OF THE NATI CONGRE All Bodies of Colored Men and Women Are Called to Unite Against a Common Foe. The National Race Congress of America has issued a call for all societies of colored people in the United States to send delegates to the next Congress, October 1, 2 and 3, 1918, at the Metropolitan Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, D Street between Second and Third Streets S. W., Washington, D. C., Rev. H. J. Callis, pastor. The executive committee is making a drive for ten thousand colored organizations to federate against lynching and mob violence. United we stand, but divided., our brothers, wives and children are and may be victims of mob violence. All phases of the race interest will be discussed by men who have made special study of the same. Churches, lodges, educational institutions, leagues and organizations of all kinds among our people are urged to send their registration as a unit to the Congress before October 1, 1918. The registration fee is $2, to be sent with names and officers of organization to the headquarters, 903 Third Street N. W., Washington, THE ELKS' SESSION Columbia Lodge of Washington Wins Laurels. Baltimore, Md., August 30.—Baltimore witnessed the greatest fraternal spectacle, in its history yesterday afternoon, when the annual parade of the Improved, Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the World swept through the streets of the city. Fully fifty thousand persons viewed the gaily bedecked marchers from every possible point of vantage; house-tops, windows, hanging from fences, on top of wagons and automobiles, and thousands who lined the sidewalks, in some places twelve deep, held their ground until the last feature had passed. Both white and colored people were spread out on the long line of march from Druid Hill Avenue. "The Boulevard," to Dolphin Street, to McCulloh, to Hoffman, through the Court of Honor, to Pennsylvania Avenue, and thence over the principal downtown streets to Benkert's Park, on the Frederick Road, where they disbanded. Along "The Boulevard," McCullon and Hoffman Streets and Pennsylvania Avenue the colored spectators held sway. At the lower part of Pennsylvania Avenue they were mixed; from there to the park they were chiefly white. Everybody Cheered. No matter who they were, they were agreeably surprised. Cheers came from white throats as well as colored as the long line of marchers kept time to the air of the finest band music Baltimore has ever heard. "They're coming! They're coming!" The cry was raised, and every neck was craned to get a first view of the "Joy Boys." And they did come—"they acem, they saw, and they conquered." They swept the city off its feet. First came the Chief Marshal, Gen. I. E. Williams, and his staff on horseback, followed by aides in huge touring cars. The Entertainment Committee, headed by Mr. Lawson Duffin, the Commonwealth Band, a local product, heading Baltimore's "Down" Monumental Lodge No. 3, who were "out of the barrel and on the lid," brought forth applause. Several soldier boys of the lodge The Washington Bee Congress D. C. The fee will entitle the organization to one delegate in the Congress. Arrangements for entertainment while in Washington should be made through Rev. Callis; 619 M Street N. W. Every community in the United States should be represented this year if you value the safety of your lives and property. Now is the time to act. For further information write the headquarters.

Stewart, national organizer. were out in uniform. Hon. Emmett J. Scott, special assistant to the Secretary of War, was in line. He and Grand Exalted Ruler Armond W. Scott, in a huge touring car, led the Grand Lodge officers and delegates, who, in fine autos, followed immediately the local lodge. And still they came—better and finer each time—until you couldn't tell who was better, and you will never know who was best. Morning Star Lodge No. 40 followed, and it had "some band." Dr. Brown Heads the Medical Committee. The local Medical Committee, in a dozen or more automobiles, were there, headed by Dr. Harry S. Brown, superintendent of Provident Hospital. All of the prominent doctors and nurses were in line and looked extraordinarily good. In rapid succession came Columbia Lodge No. 65, of Washington, D. C., and a large delegation. Then came Bay State Lodge No. 19; Iron City Lodge No. 17; Pocahontas Temple No. 60, and their band; Paul Lawrence, Dunbar Lodge No. 106; Capital City Lodge, accompanied by its band; O. V. Catto Lodge No. 2 of Philadelphia, and then the famous Lady Band of that city. A big New York delegation, made up of Red Cross workers and others followed. Excelsior Temple No. 35 of Brooklyn, N. Y., was there, as was Imperial Lodge No. 127 and Unity Lodge No. 71 of Harrisburg, Pa.; Old Dominion Lodge No. 181; Atlantic City's marching club, with a few of its men (who are with the colors) were in uniform, and Pandora Lodge No. 2, all followed in turn. Southern Star Band of Baltimore led Alexandria Lodge No. 48, of Alexandria, Va., and Annapolis, Md., made a splendid showing. Her lodge, Ancient City No. 175, had soldiers and sailors galore. Williams Lodge of Richmond, Va.; Eureka Lodge No. 11 of Norfolk, Va., and their band; Beacon Light Lodge No. 34 of Portsmouth, Va.; Pride of Camden Lodge No. 83, of Camden, N. J., were all "out there." The Women in All Their Glory Were There. Great Southern Temple, the local Ladies' Auxiliary, led the long line of the woman's department and miscellaneous lodges. More than three hundred automobiles were in line, from the palatial touring car and sedan to the tin Ford, which got there just the same. LEWEY C. BAILEY Ex-President of the Capital Savings Bank, died and was buried from the Berean Baptist Church, Wednesday afternoon. He was one of the best known citizens in Washington and a progressive business man. 1910 They passed and repassed, broken here and there by the bands, which cheered the crowd by spirited music and all too soon the end came and you waited for no more. Hundreds of Elks Now in Service. Loyalty and patriotism was a predominant feature of the parade. Service flags were galore. There were hundreds, of blue stars on the fields of white on the innumerable service flags carried by the lodges. Morning Star Lodge No. 40 of Washington, D.C., carried a flag with seven stars. Columbia Lodge of Washington, headed by Exalted Ruler E. W. Bundy, carried off the laurels, if one is to judge by the tremendous applause it received in the line of march. It is the opinion of the people that this lodge should be given the prize. It made the best and greatest display in the line of march. EDITOR MURPHY ARRESTED. Here's your irony of fate: Editor Carl Murphy of the Baltimore Afro-American, who has been using his pen and newspaper to boost the government's war aims, was arrested because he refused to be jim-crowed on a railroad under government control. We recommend his case to Secretary McAdoo, Director General of Railroads, with the suggestion that such treatment is hardly the proper reward for devotion to the country. WHAT YOUR SUBSCRIPTION MEANS. When you subscribe to a Liberty Loan you subscribe to the sentiment that the world must be made safe for democracy and subscribe to the fund that is to make the world safe for democracy. You subscribe to the belief that innocent women and children on unarmed ships shall not be sent to the bottom of the sea; that women and children and old men shall not be ravished and tortured and murdered under the plea of military necessity; Called that nurses shall not be shot for deeds of mercy, nor hospital ships be sunk without warning, or hospitals and unfortified cities be bombed of cannonaded with long-range guns. You subscribe to the doctrine that small nations have the same rights as great and powerful ones; that might is not right, and that Germany shall not force upon the world the dominion of her military masters. You subscribe, when you subscribe to a Liberty Loan, to the belief that America entered this war for a just and noble cause; that our soldiers in France and our sailors on the sea are fighting for right and justice. And you subscribe to the American sentiment that they must and shall be powerful, efficient and victorious. [And colored Americans are to be treated as citizens and discrimination in the Government departments is to be eliminated.—Editor.] MRS. DELILIA BUNDY. A Worthy and Conscientious Uplift Worker, and a Valuable Acquisition to Society. Mrs. Delilia Bundy, widow of the late Lawyer James F. Bundy, has been connected with the C. Y. W. C. Association since its organization, and has given active and conscientious services as a member of the executive board. During this summer Mrs. Bundy succeeded in forming a club of twenty-five girls, known as the "Blue Circle of the Rainbow," which meets at the Y. W. C. A., 429 T Street N. W., weekly. This club is one branch of the Patriotic League of which Miss Phillips is director. With the assistance of Mrs. Bundy, the leader, an interesting entertainment was given on Friday, August 16th, at the Y. W. C. A. home, during which time a literary program was rendered by the girls in the club. It was a success socially and materially, the proceeds having been used to purchase membership pins. Mrs. Bundy, like her well known husband, has done much good along the line of uplift work, standing always ready and willing to give her services to all branches of labor that tend toward the advancement of her race. She is also an active worker in the Second Baptist Church, of which she has been a member for several years. As a business woman, Mrs. Bundy has shown much discreetness and tact in the management of her affairs. She is now sojourning with her daughters, Della and Zenobia, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. THE COLORED EMPLOYEES AT THE NAVY YARD Last week the colored employees at the Washington Navy Yard raised among themselves more than one thousand dollars for Camp Pleasant, the camp out at Fifty-eighth Street N. E. for poor colored children, over which Mrs. Laura Bruce Glenn serves as superintendent. This means that next summer, when the camp is started, there will be a much-needed cavilian for the children, and other conveniences needed to make this camp ideal. Here is another evidence of what the so-called "common" people of our race are doing. These hardy, honest men of toil at the Navy Yard, who earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, by raising more than one thousand dollars to help the poor children of their race, merit far more praise and honor than colored social devotees who waste time in parties and dances, unmindful of their own poor and needy. The colored employees at the Navy Yard did the handsome thing. SATURDAY ONE MEAL WHEATLESS USE NO ZERO, CLAYCELLS, TASTE OF BREAKDOWN FOOD CONTAINING WHEAT. DOCTORS PROTEST COLORED DOCTORS APPEAL. Association Deprecates Failure to Commission More in Army. Richmond, Va., September 1.—The National Medical Association, composed of 5,000 colored physicians, in convention last week in Richmond, Va., passed resolutions deprecating the system of the War Department whereby members of their race are not given a fair representation as commissioned officers in the army and their nurses are not allowed "to serve brave black soldiers on the battlefields of Europe." Included in the resolution is an appeal to Director General McAdoo to abolish "jim crow" cars as a war measure, declaring that the system "not only debases a patriotic class of citizens, but breeds discontent and deprives a citizen of a fair compensation for his money invested in a railroad ticket." Expressions of loyalty to President Wilson and the government is given and attention of the Secretary of War and Director General McAdoo, to whom the appeals will be made by the executive board of the association, is called to the manner in which the colored people of the country have upheld the government in the war, both by contributions to war work and by men in the service. PROFESSOR ADAMS IN WEST VIRGINIA. The citizens of Martinsburg, West Virginia, were treated to one of the finest recitals ever held there on last Monday evening, September 2nd, at Dudley Baptist Church, Rev. Edward T. Johnson, pastor. The participants were Prof. Wellington A. Adams, Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis and Mrs. Nellie Smith, of Washington. They made a name for themselves, and they will always be welcomed at any time in the future. It is claimed that theirs was the best of its type ever held in Martinsburg, and rightly so. Prof. Adams was in charge of the entire program and proved himself a master. Both races attended to cptacity. NEW MAGISTRATE GUEST OF MR. JOSEPH GRAVES. Mr. W. Howard Jones, the first colored magistrate of Danville, Va., was in the city last week the guest of that well-known citizen, Mr. Joseph Graves, 16 G Street N. W. Mr. Jones was a well-known politician in the days of the readjuster party under Mahone regime. He is today conducting a large bakery in Danville, said to be one of the largest in that section of Virginia. No man is better known to the people in the South than Mr. Jones. After having been royally entertained by Mr. Graves and others at social functions, he left for his home this week. MOSES H. DADE. In another column of The Bee this week will be seen the new Palace Cafe Dining Room of Moses H. Dade, 12th and Pennsylvania Avenue N. W. Mr. Dade has just gone to a great deal of expense and remodeled his building and reconstructed the lower part by turning the entire floor into an up-to-date cafe. Mr. Dade has the reputation of cooking food to appease the appetite of everybody. Now, if you want to enjoy your meals, notwithstanding the heat, Mr. Dade has sufficient fans to enable you to sit comfortably and enjoy them. Don't fail to call and order one of his noonday luncheons or a first class dinner. This place is always ready to serve you. aT NL (A END GAIN Bay ONUS | SATURDAY SERMONS.

LONG. - ‘There aré so many so-calied 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 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 po; made that has stood the test of time. {t 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 supervision 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 resutts from the use of Quinade, it is necessary to sham- poo the scalp about every two weeks with Seeby’s Quinasoap. Quinasoap ig made entirely out of pure vege- table oils, principally cocoanut oil, and is a thorough cleanser. Quina- soap tf very freely. It leaves the liair-goft-and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to. the scalp un- equaled by any other shampoo. — Do nat accept any substitute, but insist on getting Seeby’s Quinade anc Seeby’s Quinasoap, asking for them by the full name. , Price is 25 cent each. “If your druggist or dealer doe: not stock these two-articles, ask hit to obtain them for you from hi wholesaler or send us. the price an | we will mail, them to you.

WASHINGTON, D.C, SEPTEMBER 7, 1918. WHY Is-1T THUS? y 8 Never inthe history of this country has race prejudice and dis crimination béen’so' prevalent- No country but America would ‘tol erate: such injusticé,to a people as loyal as colored Americans. I the colored man had ever Been a traitor to his Government or dis: loyal to any cause in which his: Government was involved there would be some excuse for ‘this injustice toward him. .*: : _ Why is it thus? What has the colored man done to those who are oppressing him? . 5 i . President Wilson has appealed’ to his countrymen to be fair and just, but his appeal doesn’t seem to be heeded. What must he do next? He must do a8 he has done with the Senatorial opposers of his policies and his administration, ‘such as Blease, Vardaman and others, who. are to feel the blow that these.two obstructionists felt. Without a word the colored Americans respond to the call-and re- quests of their Government. Is there anotheY such nationality? “. ‘The Bee takes this oc¢asion to appeal to President Wilson if the name ‘of twelve million: loyal and patriotic citizens to issue ‘an order.to every department: of his Government to recognize’ the merits of his faithful-allies. See that the barriers of discrimination and segregation are eliminated. See that worthy young colored women who have passed the civil service examination and certified by ‘the Civil Service Commission are appoirited When they present themselves. The colored man is doing his duty, Mr. President; then why should those’ who are serving under you be permitted to treat your faithfal citizens with such unfairness? The colored man will continue to appeal to the conscience ‘and loyalty of your Go¥- ernment until God in His own time shall see fit to adjust the wrongs that the enemy to the race continues to inflict. = In this hour of distress, when the very’ veins of the ‘colored Americans are being stretched to withhold the blood within them, it would seem that the'conscience of those who are the’actors would stay the hand‘of oppression. The question is, “Why is it thus?" - WHAT ARE THEY DOING? > two: representative ‘colored men—o nd another in the Department -of La he representatiyes of the people, Jus: ¢ down -race- discrimination in their re: e has failed to see as yet. Both. men | nen who are entitled to the respect an t race discrimination continues to reis the increase. 1 hopes to see some abatement in these ‘d colored Americans. . There are two: representative ‘colored men—one in “the’ War Department ‘and another in the Department -of Labor—who were appointed as the representatives of the people, Just what they are doing’ to break down.-race-disctimination in their respective depart: , ments-The Bee has failed to see as yet. Both.men are high strung ; and cultured men who are entitled to the respect and confidence. of the people, but race discrimination continues to reign, and. if-any-' thing, it-is on the increase. 1 * a em The Bee hopes to see some abatement in these many acts of. injustice toward colored Americans. . . RACE CONFERENCE. . October st, 2nd and 3rd, there will be held in (this city %a National Race Congress. This will be a representative gathering of ‘the colored peoplé: from the entire country. Every phase of thé wrongs. inflicted upon colored Americans will. be discussed. It is, therefore, the duty of every State and organization in the United States to send delegates—men who ate fearless.in upholding the rights of the oppressed. Unless the colored man: speaks for him- self,"he’ will’ be betrayed by the false pretenders, Already Dr. W. H. Jernagin, who is. the president, has received credentials from many States and organizations informing him that representatives have been elected to attend this great conference. This conference will not only’ discuss lynching and condemn it, but it will take up and denounce race discrimination :in the several departmets of this Government. _ : 3 Let every State and organization elect delegates AT ONCE." a THE PRIVATE IN THE RANKS. - - Tere ate more than THREE. HUNDRED THOUSAND of “our own” colored men—-“our boys"—in-the-American Army. Of these all but léss than ‘one thousand are privates in the ranks—the KEYSTONE in ‘America’s arch of defense. °° We need officers to direct. We MUSJ’ HAVE: privates to. go DIRECT to the front, where the battle rages hottest: where. blood ‘flows freest from thousands of sounded, and where Death | awaits’ theif coming. : * aod be ag Officers are necessary. Privates are URGENT. * a “Pull,” influence and favoritism may, and HAS, .placed bars and silver leafs and spreading eagles arid stars—insignias of rank—upon the shoulders of many; but the private is ever dnd-always the patriot, flushed with courage and valor, upon whom “pull!” and influence and favoritism HAS NOT smiled, but who fights on for his country and the green graves of his.sires. There. is distinction in being the officer who, from some SAFE point of vantage, directs the fighting legions on to’ where Death brazenly flaunts his streams of blood. © an : ‘There is HONOR, imperishable, in being the: private who. rushes on, in face of bursting shells, against death-tipped bayonets, to where “with: horrid, clang, ‘as on Mount Sinai rang,” the battle rages fiercest. ~ Don’t be ashamed to serve as a private. In the American Army today in France there are a million and a half white mén to keep you “company as a private. -' oO, . It is'well to aspire for the privilege of wearing the insignia of high commission as a reward for merit. However, there can be no higher ‘HONOR ‘than serving faithfully and valiantly in the: ranks. ‘The Crpix de Guerre—that highly prized and eagerly sought cross of honor, MORE, FREQUENTLY decorates the breast of the private : the ranks who won it going “over-the top” than the breast of the officers who directed. . | Requiems may be sung, and high mass may be said, ‘ard costly brorized statues may: be erected for the officers who “directed” privates into battle, but for the private, far better still, is a place in. consecrated carth, and on the holy hearth, where the Lars and Lemutes moan with midright plaint. . 3 : ‘* There is HIGH HONOR in serving as a private in the ranks. aR a rere ree : *g SOLDIERS, BEWARE. . The Bre kindly warns all colored draftees now in camps agains writing to newspapers criticizing adverse conditions which may exis! in their camps. To do so makes them liable, if the matter is published to military discipline, which is usually severe. .Newspapers publishing |matter from soldiers criticizing their superiors; or conditions existing in.camps, do such soldiers a great injustice, for they, unconsciously, per- haps, are subjecting the-soldiers to punishment. . : _ + If superior officers are discriminatirig against colored draftees be- ‘cause they are colored, arid if camp conditions are-next to unbearable, there are proper channels; in strict accordance with nijlitary rules, whereby victims of' discriminations, segregation and otherwise improper treatment may-voice their complaint without ‘subjecting themselves to severe military punishment... * s - ,.“War,”.as Gerieral Sherman said, -“‘is hell,” and. soldiers cannot expect ,downy couches and millionaire luxuries in army camps. How- ever much such cannot: be expected, still all soldiers, without regard to race or color, are entitled -to the best that can be afforded in army camps, and:in time of war,.and while warning soldiers against promis: cudus newspaper censuring of officers and camp conditions, The Bre will always, when the'necessity compels, denounce unsoldierly djscrimi- nation ‘and segregation because of color. - We are a true friend of our soldiers, and this. is our reason for warning them against doing that which might subjéct them to severe discipline and punishment. Make your complaints through the proper channels, r let your friends, who have seen and know, speak out against your wrongs in public prints. . | President Wilson's utterances on every subject have been law unto the tnembers of his party. We are waiting to’ see how much weight they. will ‘nave with those “loyal” Democrats of the South who so freauently indulge ‘in the (to them) pleasurable pastime of shooting, hanging and burning col- area Aipericans. |” . : | With the various departments of the Government advertising their need for stenographers~and typists; with three hundred thousand colored’ Amer- | jcans,'wearing, the khaki and tenis of theusands of them in, the battle line Mighting to “make the world safe for democracy’; with uncounted thousands soi colored Americans of all ages and cdnditions huying Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps and subscribing to the Ked ,Cross—with ‘colored Americans doing all;these, things willingly and gladly, do the heads of departments and chiefs. of bureaus’ ‘think. they are doing’ the just-and patriotic thing .wlien they turn down competent stenographers and typists for no other reason than that, they are colored? Is not this course calculated to discredit their professions that wesare’ fighting for democracy? + t Although but* meager, and very unsatisfactory, the news reaching us from “over there" in France -indicates that our own. colored soldiers’ are acquitting themselves in a°manner to sustain the race's fighting reputatipn. ee ee er; GETTING THE “BREAKS.” jhas- resigned her post as teacher of Snenpctin ertance at the Whhitted Hich ‘Jay baseball, usually, the elub get- ting, the “breaks.” as baseball: fans describe that: fetish called tuck, wins.

The masons who were selected to build the Temple of Solomon were declared free and were exempted, together with their descendents, from all imports, duties and taxes. They also had the privilege to bear arms. At the destruction of the temple by Nebuchadnezzar the posterity of these Masons were carried into captivity with the ancient Jews. But the good will of Cyrus gave them permission to erect a second temple, having set them at liberty for that purpose. It is from this epoch that we bear the name of Free and Accepted Masons. Mrs. Dr. Willie May Harris Taylor has improved and she is stopping with her mother, Mrs. Scott, at 112 F Street N.W. Her business is being conducted by her husband. Until further orders the Volunteer Guard Division of the Home Defense League of the District of Columbia has been called from labor to refreshments pending the hot spell. Rev. W. H. Jernagin left the city for St. Louis, Mo., last week to attend the National Baptist Convention. Dr. Robert Peyton, the popular Southwest dentist, has returned from his vacation.

Harper, 33rd degree; the popular Southwest printer and secret society brother, is away having a good time on his vacation. He was in attendance at the Elks sessions in Baltimore and now is on a visit to his brother. One of the main points for the colored American to follow is Safety first; second, unification of action for more mutual benefit (and doing away with the knife). It is with much regret we announce the departure to the Unseen Temple of Noble Magnus L. Robinson, 33rd degree, of the Valley of Alexandria, a. Noble Robinson was one of the oldest colored news editors in the state of Virginia. He died August 9, 1918. In this city Bro Robinson was very active in news and secret order matters.

Thousands of people were in attendance, as the weather was fine, and the meetings were a success in every way. Miss Ethel Powell had as her guests last Sunday the Misses Edith Coates and Emily Proctor and Mr. Lancy McKnight and Mr. William Woodyard. The religious, educational and patriotic meetings which were held at Mrs. Agnes Carver's met with some success last week. The stormy weather interfered a little, but notwithstanding that, the faithful ones came out, and on Thursday night, together with a talk from Mr. E. B. Henderson on "Food Conservation," a Canning Club was formed, which will meet at regular intervals, and canning and drying of fruits and vegetables will be taught. PUBLIC MEN AND THINGS. Armond Scott's been readin' about the Demmies proposin' to run Woody for a third term, so he just ups and says to himself, say he, "I'll just run for a third term myself as Grand High Monkeymonk of the Darktown Elks, and set an example for Woody: show him how to do the thing properly." Then Armond bought a ticket over some Government-controlled railroad what leads to Tom Smith's hotel over in Liquorville, which is Baltimore, and started his howlin' Dervishes to. howl, this refrain: "Nothin' but a third term for our own North Caroliny yaller kid." When the votes was all counted it was found that everybody but Armond was in the "also ran" class, while Armond had copped the pennant flag for the third consecutive season. My friend and college.chum Bundy, who loves Armond just like Damon loved Pythias, only less, took Armond's three times to the bat for three home runs philosophically, sayin': "I ran up against a brick wall when I tried to put the cabosh on North Caroliny's yallar kid, and found that I was pretty much all by my linesome tryin' to make the outside world believe he wasn't one-two-three with us. Washington brethren. Now, I'm for him, and I just hope he won't run the fourth time, 'cause the way them there antlers went out and yelled for him over at Tom Smith's hotel convention I believe he can cop the job of rulin' us antlers for life, if he just hints he wants to." I strolled up to Hall's barber shop Monday, and interviewed Frank Williams, the fellow what does a Caesarian operation on your face when you take a seat in the second chair. Here is a verbatim line of Frank's talk: "Yes, sir, there was nothin' to it but Armond. Why, doggone your buttons, he's done done sumthin'. He made them white antlers lay down and lay off of us. He sure did make 'em noll-pross the case against us by ilin' a 'dumore' or 'innure', whatever you call that thing when the judge says 'three strikes and out.'" And then Frank squared himself around in front of the victims waitin' for Hall and Bill Kennedy to touch 'em for 15 cents for a "once over" shave, and continued, with a sort of combination of a base and baritone voice: "Why, man. Armond's our ace in the Elks' aviation squadron. He just naturally sent the Fleming plane down to earth; filled the Morris plane full of torpedoes, and had Bundy so gassed he just couldn't open his eyes to see what was goin' on. Talk about all them flyin' aces in the aviation corps, and sich like, why man, they ain't a circumstances to our ace—Armond. I'm for him for a fourth and fifth term, and I can take this old Wade & Butcher of mine and carve out about unteen terms for him." After relievjn' hisself of this rumage sale, he made three swipes over the face of the victim he had in his chair, pulled the towel off, and said: "Fifteen cents for shave, please, and ten cents for tip—two bits in all! Next!" My old college chum, John Cromwell, did the heroic act the other day and got the croix de guerre for bravery. Knowin' he was in that "18 to 45" draft age, and sure to be called at $30 per as a shock trooper or an "essential" worker pickin' cotton, or doin' some other noble and life-savin' work, John went off, bought a marriage license and got a bit of crinolin so he will have somebody to make an allotment to when the Government calls him this month. Now, that's what I calls croix de guerre stuff, and I'm takin' this opportunity to congratulate John and say to him: "You sure has done the thing accordin' to Hoyle." Now, if Jim Cobb and Nev Thomas and Andy Thomas and a few other bachelor suspects would go out and emulate John Cromwell, all the munition plants would have to begin makin' croix de guerres, they would be so in demand. But Nev says he prefers death in the trenches; Andy Thomas says he prefers a nice, quiet, friendly game of draw, with the sky for a limit, and Jim Cobb says he's lookin' forward to managin' the next presidential campaign, and so is employed on "essential" work and can't be spared. Bud Gaskin, soon as he learned about that "18 to 45" scheme of Secretary Bake's to take all the childless married men, took the first train for Cleveland to try and enter the ministry in some education plant like Oberlin College; Doc Sum Wormley has discovered an old Wormley family Bible and says he found he was born in the full of the moon about 1861, Roscoe Conklin' Bruce got him a little two-acre tract of land over in Virginy on which you couldn't grow cactuses, cause it is so barren, and registered hisself as a "farmer," thinkin' that occupation would exempt him, and then he bought himself a Ford truck, so as to be in touch with Henry Ford, who got his own --- Uncle Sam Needs Our Men. Let the "PORO SYSTEM" take care of you FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY PORO SYSTEM ST. LOUIS, M.D. "PORO" COLLEGE COMPANY St. Louis, Mo. Dept. I, son exempted, and now Roscoe feels easy, cause he thinks he's got General Crowder cornered. All the hallroom bachelors are lookin' up Emmett Scott's telephone and house number, and if Emmett don't experience a barrage fire pretty soon, I'll miss my guess. I heard it rumored around the fringes of Gossipville the other day that Prof. Kell Miller is thinkin' seriously of volunteerin' his services to the President as an adjuster. After writin' his "Race Adjustment," Prof. Kell thinks he can adjust world conditions, if given a chance, and I believe he can, too. Any feller what can stay on Howard University's faculty after aspirin' for the presidency of the institution has enough diplomacy hid around his garments to adjust most anything. You know it takes a lot of diplomacy to aspire for a job before a trustee board what is wedded to a policy of recognizin' superannuated white hopes. Prof. Kell has done it twice, and got away with it, and I reckon he can do it three times and get away with it, but he can't never get the presidency so long as there is a superannuated "white hope" or white suspect left to hand that $7,000 per annum to. Guess you remember the story of old "Bingy" Jones. You don't? Well, I'll narrate it once over again. "Bingy" loved his red liquor. An attempt was made to reform his taste—take red elixir from him—but he said: "Take red liquor from the Joneses and you take all the sunshine outer our lives." Now, if you take Prof. Kell Miller away from Howard University you just naturally take all the spotlight out of that institution, cause about four-fifths of this democracy what is safe for democrats and is tryin' to make the world safe for democracy also, know Howard University cause Kell Miller is on its pay roll for about four times less than what they pay superannuated white hopes to masquerade around in a president's uniform. It's a funny thing about Howard. The trustees insist on fixin' a salary of several thousand dollars for some white hope what is hardly a suspect, while they fix a salary for the teekwood professors equal to what the government is payin' messengers what are unfit for the draft. If General Foch knew what salary the professors at Howard are workin' for, he would defy all the German submarines and rush over here with a croix de guerre for every one of 'em. Prof. Kell and the rest of the Darktown professors up there have to worry along while givin' eclat—some word, that eclat—to the old educational foundry, on a messenger's or coal-passer's salary with cost of livin' 54 per cent higher than it was ten years ago, while the white hope, who is merely a white suspect, pulls down suffish to decorate his table with fresh eggs every morn, and to buy creamery butter while the teekwood professors, what are really the bone and sinew of Howard, have to be satisfied with oleomargarine and d—n little of that. If it wasn't for Prof. Kell's ability to write an "adjustment" treatise, and the ability of the others to live on imagination. Howard's faculty would just consist of one lone white suspect president. A BIG ACHIEVEMENT. The War Department at Washington announced last week that there are now nearly 2,500 colored young men at various schools receiving technical and scientific and mechanical training. To be exact, there are 2,460. This information brings back to us that longevitous aphorism—"It's an ill wind that blows nobody good." We meet up with so many discriminations, and we face so many evidences of segregation, and with so many denials of a fifty-fifty break, we are liable to, and do, overlook some encouraging achievements—some things which indicate progress—a bit of silver lining for erstwhile dark clouds. If we stop and reflect a moment upon this announcement coming from the War Department; that 2,460 young colored men—many of whom hardly dared to dream of the opportunity, are getting a technical and scientific training, we must, perforce, conclude that this ill wind—this frightful war, is blowing us some good. "When grim-visaged/ war hath smoothed its wrinkled front" such of these 2,460 young colored men who may return safe, will have an occupation—a vocation far more remunerating, and elevating because of the higher remuneration, than they would have had had not war's alarms interrupted the country's dream of peace, and had not we—our race—given, to date, more than three hundred thousand of our best born to fight for world democracy. Before "victorious peace" shall have become an indisputable fact, this number of young colored men receiving special training will be augmented to double—perhaps many times 2,460. We must not overlook—we must remember the things worth while that follow in the wake of discrimination and segregation. While it is our duty to complain against the "outrageous slings of fortune," it is no less our duty to render the proper mead of praise to such as recognize our grievances, and make successful effort to right our wrongs. This special training afforded to young colored men is the biggest bit of constructive, achievement that has been recorded in years, and the man who worked it out—who really achieved it, is that quiet, earnest, staunch race man, Emmett J. Scott. The glory is for the race—the honor for it is Mr. Scott's. Look at it from any angle you may, you—all of us who are classified as colored people in the census reports, must admit the arrangement made for giving thousands of young colored men special technic and mechanical training is a big achievement. An achievement such as this, at least, indicates that there is a rift in the clouds; indicates that even frightful, atrocious—bloody war has its compensations. "WHITE MEN ONLY"—WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Be it known to all colored citizens who are loyal supporters of every move in the interest of the Government, whether in buying Liberty Bonds, Thrift Stamps or what not, that the Labor Department has places for 250 watchmen; ages range from 22 to 65 years. They are wanted at once, so states the call in the Evening Star and other city papers, by the Department of Labor. And, says the notice, "so urgent is the need of men that the committee on public information was appealed to to give the demand wide publicity." So, God helping us, we shall try to push the "good news" along, in order to do our bit in every way possible to help win the war. But, mark you, faithful colored citizens, the call for 250 watchmen, though urgent it be, is for "white men only"! So no colored man—it matters not whether he has purchased ten thousand dollars' worth of Liberty Bonds or bought a cartload of Thrift Stamps—need apply! Great God! Ye heads of the Labor Department, what may the loyal and faithful patriotic colored race Phone Main 8273 Joseph Undertak For 227 Cor Jose Chapel Service Fre expect of you next? The demons in hell ask, what next? Is this the way picked out to give Germany the lie in her bold declaration that our fight for liberty and democracy is all a sham? Is the Labor Department so blinded with Negrophobia and prejudice and ignorance that it hasn't taken the time to notice that while the just War Department is now calling for millions of brave men to defend the Stars and Stripes of this our beloved country, it has never stooped low enough to the depth of ignorance and prejudice to call for only "white men" to go into the trenches "over there" to give their lives in the defense of this country? No! The just and wise War Department is not so ignorant that it cannot see the importance of calling on the old true and tried colored men in this great struggle for national life and honor. It sees, now, its doom if it depended solely upon such coward white men as compose the Labor Department who dare to draw the color line during such a dreadful war crisis as this. If the colored man can fight for the country, he can also watch and take care of the country's property. So why not give him a chance, and thus show to the world that we have some respect for our veracity (and not a sham) while giving the lives of millions of our precious young men and spending billions of dollars for liberty and democracy. To fail to practice liberty and democracy here, as we should, we not only give the Germans a chance to point us out as liars, but we holdly give the lie to ourselves and pass it on to the Germans for confirmation. We cannot believe that that unjust and unpatriotic call for 250 "white watchmen only" was issued by the proper heads of the Labor Department, for very often such foolish orders may be traced to the door of the "understrappers" who usurp the authority to give vent to their damnable hatred of the faithful colored citizens by issuing such shameful and diabolical orders. Now what's become of all of these self-appointed "race lovers" who are traveling from Maine to Texas and from California to Oklahoma in their eagerness to be known as race leaders? Where is the Rev. W. H. Jernagin, president of the so-called Race Congress? Where is he and his little group of ministerial aides? We are a part of this great nation, Dr. Jernagin, and if you and your followers in the Race Congress wish to do something besides taking up "big collections" of money in the name of doing great things for the race, you should get busy now and secure at least twenty-five colored watchmen out of the 250 watchmen wanted. Either do this or make a bold fight for it, or the writer will "move upon your works" in your further efforts to secure financial aid for your Race Congress. The jobs are open and the woods are full of honest colored men that can be secured to fill the bill. Better get busy, for I've seen too much of the works of the so-called race lovers and leaders to allow others to get by in the name of doing great things for the race while, in fact, they are doing nothing. Again, you had better get busy, for by your works you shall be known. I. C. Cunningham. FIND WAR SAVINGS STAMPS IN THESE LINES. Watch and pray. Anywhere he leads I'll follow.

TURNS FORGER TO ENLIST Rejected Youth Says He Thought Commission of a Crime Would Help. Muncle, Ind.—So determined to enter the army was Paul Love, age eleven, that, according to his own story, he tugged 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 Leout, 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 Heurst Greek theater that he was "guilty." 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 Leutenant O'Brien made his "confession." SPEEDER HAS NEW EXCUSE Feared Hat Would Go Out of Style, and Judge Let Her Go. Albany, N. Y.—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 at 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" NORTH AS STEWARDESS Boston. — Resourceful Mrs. Marie Cowan of Chicago is back in the United States and happy. She "makes" the big towns of South America for a Western corset manufacturing company. Passenger ships are few and far between on the South American run now. She waited around a Chilean port for 30 days and then, because her firm was yelling by wire, she shipped north as a "stewardess." Molly Was Persistent Camp Crane, Allentown, Pa.—It took two sergeants and a first lieutenant to convince Mollie King, motion picture actress, that women are not wanted to drive ambulances for Uncle Sam in France when she tried to enlist in the "Usaace" here. CAMERA IS REAL EYE OF THE ARMY Photographer Must Encounter Battle Perils Practically Without Fighting Chance. 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 allseeing 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 Archibald—the unmithcraft 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 "fool 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, antialcraft guns are uncomfortably 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 tukon. 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. Photo by Western Newspaper Union Little Jeanne's mother, living up in a French village near the front, finally had to send her to the American Red Cross asylum at Boulcause because she was too little to put on her own gas mask. 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. Leutenant Diages 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 kidnapping. COW IS DOING HER BIT 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 $20,000,000 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 pulling cigarettes with idle hands rammed 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 sliding the government to obtain potash for munitions and fertilizer. 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 Lufberys. The airdrome 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 hudging. 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 alrdrome 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 rused by the propellers and shouts his final directions. He points to the instruments, shows what the engine revolutions should be, feels the controls, and blids the new "sololist" 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 repeated 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 deserter, he is now held in Montrose county fall awaiting action of the government. WOMAN WINDOW WASHER PATRIOTIC AND PLUCKY Seattle, Wash. — "Shucks," said Mrs. Bessie McGillvery, who does the most hazardous window washing in Seattle, as she recently leased over the sill of a 35-story window, "why not? I get a man's pay—$30 a month—and release a man for the trenches." That is the way she views her gamble for life with only a two-inch leather strap between her and death. L.E.T. HIM St. John. Third Chapter, Fourth to Fifteenth Verses. "And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up, that whosoever believeth in Him, should not perish, but have eternal life." This is the picture of Jesus knocking at the door of your heart, sinner. Let him in or he will depart to return no more. Rev. George T. Terry, pastor and founder of the Children's Orphan Home, 408 V Street N. W., marched up Pennsylvania Avenue in the great preparediess parade behind the great President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson. With this great picture, just as you see it, see Christ, and hear Him knocking at the door of your heart now. Sinner, He will save you just now.
