He also visited Evanston No. 2349 and found both lodges in a flourishing condition. He will visit Springfield, Peoria, Bloomington, Jacksonville, and Decatur before the Grand Session. The recommendation of the Grand Master adopted at the 1915 session at Champaign which enables the G. M. to visit without expense to the various lodges is one of the best laws of the Order, and helps greatly to encourage the many lodges outside of the Order. Such legislation is worthy and will do much good and bring prosperity to the Order. A NATIONAL JOURNAL OF OPINION P. G. M. H. Allen will visit Cairo, Ill., on the 22nd to exhibit his pictures together with that of Hon. Frank O. Lowden, the Republican candidate for Governor of Illinois. The Odd Fellow Special Train for Harrisburg to the Grand Lodge will leave Chicago on Monday night, July 31st, at 8 P. M. over the C. & E. I. R. R. from the La Salle St. Station, corner of La Salle and Van Buren Sts. Let all delegates and friends who intend to attend the Grand Session be on this Special. On to Harrisburg should be the slogan of every Lodge in the Ill. and Wis. Jurisdiction. The 35th annual session should be one of the greatest in the history of the order. The good people of Harrisburg are ready to accoumodate all delegates and their friends. Send your name to C. E. Messer, 10 Vine St. The Blade recommends the stereo-opticon views of the Order exhibited by P. G. M. A. H. Allen. They review the history of the Order from 1846 to the present date. ODD FELLOW DANCE JULY 21st Trotter and Hopkins Hall. Spend an evening of fun. Mr. J. W. Eubanks and Z. A. Trotter will see to it that you will enjoy the occasion. The proposition to be presented to the next Grand Lodge from Lake Michigan Lodge No. 5610 as to the establishment of an Industrial Labor Bureau for the information and benefit of the members of the order is a step in the right direction and should be adopted with a dissenting vote. The D. G. M. N. Emma J. Cawenw paid the Phyllis Wheatly H. H. of Ruth No. 4863 on their last meeting night an official visit. She spoke encouraging of the work throughout the district, and gave to the inmates helpful suggestions and instructions in the works of the Order. She recounted the progress during this year and hoped to do more in the future. After the meeting a reception was tendered in her honor, many pleasant words were spoken and praises given the D. G. M. N. G. Inmates Mamie Anderson N. G., Amanda E. Hill R. N. G., Phoebe Lawrence M. N. G., and Marion Buckner P. M. N. G., were installed by the D. G. M. N. G. There will be a great treat in store for all who attend the Grand Lodge at Harrisburg. An up-to-date program has been arranged and the committee has ample accommodation for all. The following is the committee, W. M. Williams, Chairman; C. E. Messer, Secretary; Frank Mason, Treasurer; Mrs. Mary L. Truett, Chairman Ways and Means Committee. All delegates and friends to the Grand Session at Harrisburg will leave Chicago on Monday night, the 31st. We are informed that special arrangements have been made to accommodate all that desire to go. Read our next issue. It will contain a write-up of the District Grand Lodge Officers, and the good work they have done for the Order. It is the request of the manager of The Blade that you send us all your Odd Fellow news for publication. Let the Odd Fellows and Ruths throughout the jurisdiction of Illinois and Wisconsin know what you are doing. Our columns are for the Ruths as well as for the Odd Fellows and it is our aim and object to serve the Sisters as well as the Brothers. A DISTINGUISHED VISITOR IN MADISON Hon. William T. Francis of St. Paul, Minn., was in the city this week on business. He paid The Blade office a visit and spoke very encouragingly. Attorney Francis is the Republican Nominee for the Legislature from the 38th District South of St. Paul. The Blade joins his host of friends in wishing him success in the November election. MADISON, WIS., THURSDAY, JULY 20, EDEN DISTRICT GRAND HOUSEHOLD OF RUTH, NO. 18, G. U. O. OF O. F., ILL. AND WIS., PAY AN OFFICIAL VISIT AND IS ROYALLY ENTERTAINED. With pardonable pride we present to our thousands of readers the likeness of one of the hardest worked, most conscientious women of our race. As D. G. M. N. G. she has been untiring in her effort to make her Jurisdiction the leading one in the order. She has met with success, and today she has at her command through her effort and those who have worked with her upward of $6, 087.44. 76 Households with a membership of 3,000 and 1,000 juveniles SECURE CONVENTION HALL FOR NATIONAL BAPTIST CONVENTION (Special to The Blade.) With the securing of the big Convention Hall and Auditorium the citizens of this city passed their first milestone in preparing for the visitors of the Great National Baptist Convention that is to be held here September 6—12, inclusive. This feat was accomplished by the committee of three, consisting of Drs. Hurst, Williams and Beckham, who are representing the general committee in charge of the entertainment of the entire delegation. Simultaneous to the securing of this Convention Hall, news came from Vicksburg, Miss., that the executive committee of the Congress in session there had chosen its delegates for the coming big gathering. A program covering six days of constructive work has been made, which is argued here as guaranteeing an unusually interesting session. The Committee on Homes has been at work for some time making assignments. The citizens of the city, regardless of denominations, have joined hands to help Kansas City entertain her guest, the first week in September. The Baptist Ministers' Alliance took action some time ago, whereby the securing of the big city Convention Hall and other places were heartily endorsed. It is safely estimated by President Jones of the National Baptist Convention that over five thousand Baptists will invade Kansas City during the week of the Convention. "IRONY" Lvching, south of the Mason and Dixon line has become an American institution. It is a habit of race. It is not considered a crime, it is a matter of course. Relentless and awful the frequent repetition of murder and bloodshed is strikingly suggestive of a growing public opinion which renders it rugatory. But for baseness and barbary the murder of Jessie Washington the other week in Waco is without a parallel in the history of the human race. Only seventeen, he was compelled by inquisitory means to confess to the ordinary crime and in the sight of the court house he suffered the punishment of death. This is the moral sore on the neck of America. This spirit of over-stepping the law. This lack of regard with $1,000. As a platform speaker she is quite in demand and has always wholesome advice to give. Her visit to the lodges in Wisconsin was met with delight and she was royally entertained by her Households. The Dee wishes the D. G. M. N. G. success. She is also Vice-president of the Nero Fraternal Congress of the World, an organization looking forward to a better union of all Fraternal Societies. for those sacred principles of custom and law has written upon the traditions of this country. The President must needs remember that he is largely responsible for these atrocities, that he and his party are the causes of the disrespect, the dough into which America has fallen. No one will wonder why the American notes are not of such weight because America does not protect its citizens. The primitive passions of the southern south, the barbary of mob mind are dithyrambic and offensive. Such outbursts of anarchy are un-American, but they typify that the South is a distinct and separate nation with different ideals. It belongs to Latin America, not the Anglo-Saxon America. The United States is not a Union but a loose confederacy. Here lies its weakness. It is the weakness of Austria-Hungary and China. In the meantime three or four regiments of colored troops were guarding the Texas border. This is the greatest paradox of this highly paradoxical world. GOVERNOR PHILIPP NAMED DELEGATES TO NEGRO NATIONAL EDUCATIONAL CONGRESS AT WASHINGTON, D. C. Wisconsin delegates to the tenth annual convention of the Negro National Educational congress, to be held at Washington, D. C., August 23 to 25 were named by Governor Philipp or request of the officials of the congress. Of 23 delates named, 8 are residents of Madison. The list of delegates follows: Mrs. O M. Davis, Frs.

DeReef, Mrs. A L. Harron, Dr. C. A. Johnson, Mrs. P. C. Clark, Dr. C. A. Cook, John Leflet and Miss Lucile Packson, Milwaukee; W. A Bass and Morvil Shivers, Dilley; Mrs. Charles Bell and E. D. Hoggan, Racine; Miss Ollie Green, Lancaster, and Mrs. Lillian Bond, Beloit. Big Butcher's Strength. Phillipsburg, Pa. - Otto Huffman, manager of a meat market, bought an automobile recently and after making a trial trip and receiving instructions undertook its management. All went well until he tried to stop the car. There Otto struck a snag. Just as his predicament was becoming serious, the gaint butcher brought his strength into play. Leaping out, he seized the car and by sheer strength brought it to a stumditt. Jos. Lydell Bowler. ly Blade is, Tuesday, August 1, 1916 BIG INCREASE IN NATIONAL BANKS Number of Depositors Jumps 86 Per Cent In Six Years. PENNSYLVANIA IN THE LEAD. Reports 2,021,878 Depositors — New York, With 1,199,471, Second—Total of 14,288,059 In Entire Country—Other Statistics Show Prosperous Condition of Nation. Comptroller Williams has given out a statement showing that there are 14,288,059 national bank depositors in the country, the number having increased 86 per cent since 1910. Pennsylvania leads all the states in the number of depositors, reporting 2,021,878 as against 762,735 in 1910. New York shows the next largest number, 1,199,471. Illinois comes third with 847,637 national bank depositors, an increase since 1910 of 376,910. Ohio ranks fourth in the number of national bank depositors with 791,760, an increase of 321,076 since 1910. Texas comes next with 658,774, an increase of 291,161. California follows with 529,290, an increase of 294,799. The largest actual increase by geographical divisions was shown in the middle western states, which give an increase of 1,773,370 depositors, although the southern states lead in the largest percentage of increases. The number of depositors in the southern states June 20, 1910, was 1,277,460. On May 1, 1916, this had been increased to 2,814,508, the increase being 1,541,762, or 121 per cent. The Pacific states increased 592,089, or 117 per cent. The New England states show an increase of 388,923, or 84 per cent. The western states increased 608,517, or 82 per cent, and the eastern states show an increase of 1,629,651 depositors, or 68 per cent. Other Interesting Features. Here are excerpts from the comproter's statement. Of the 14,288,059 deposit accounts in the national banks of the United States 355,399 are carried in the national banks of the central reserve cities of New York, Chicago and St. Louis; 1,778,809 are with the national banks in the other reserve cities, while the country banks report 12,203,551 depositors, or over 85 per cent of the total number. Of the 14,288,059 deposit accounts 9,494,289, or 65 per cent, are demand deposit accounts. Of the 9,494,289 demand deposit accounts 1,498,945 draw interest; the remaining 7,395,244 demand depositors collect no interest. In the three central reserve cities 78.9 per cent of all depositors are demand depositors. In the other demand cities 63.6 per cent are demand depositors. In the country banks 66 per cent of the total deposit accounts are demand, the balance being on time. The total number of deposit accounts on June 23, 1915, as reported by all the state banks (exclusive of mutual and stock savings banks) and by all loan and trust companies throughout the United States was 15,814,446. It is therefore seen that the national banks now have nearly as many deposit accounts as all the state banks above mentioned and all the loan and trust companies in the United States combined in June, 1915, the time these figures were last compiled in regard to them. GERMANS BUILD SHIPS 754,000 Tons In New Vessels Are Now Under Construction. Herr Ballin, general manager of the Hamburg American line, says his company is building the turbine ship Bismarck, of 56,000 tons, the world's greatest steamer, the Tirpitz, 30,000 tons, and three other vessels of 22,000 tons each. At Bremen there are building nine vessels, four of them with a carrying capacity of 18,000 tons, being the world's greatest freight steamers; at Flensburg two steamers of 13,000 tons each, three larger passenger freight steamers, and at Geistemunde two freight steamers of 17,000 tons each for traffic through the Panama canal. The Hamburger-South America line is building the Cap Polonio, a sister ship to the auxiliary cruiser Cap Trafalgar. The North German Lloyd is building two fast steamers, the Columbus and Hindenburg, of 20,000 tons each; the München and Zeppelin, of 18,000 tons NO. 7 $100,000,000 Additional Will Be Needed This Year. MEXICAN CRISIS IS COSTLY. Unexpected Drain on Treasury Will Cause Congress to Change Its Plans. Leaders Are Opposed to Issuing Bonds or Selling the Panama Canal Paper That the Government Holds. While the military authorities of the country are struggling to mass additional troops on the Mexican border, congress is confronted with a serious question of where the money is to come from with which to finance the operations. The cost is to be staggering. This is the one clear fact that stands out of the whole situation. Since congress convened in December it has been spending money at the rate of approximately $10,000,000 a day. Up to date the total appropriations aggregate in the neighborhood of $1,500,000,000. This enormous sum will be increased heavily before adjournment. As is entirely natural, the greater part of this vast expenditure is directly and indirectly due to the upbuilding of the military establishments. Never in the history of the country have such heavy sums been appropriated for the army and navy. The sea forces especially will be strengthened to a degree never yet authorized by a previous congress. Not only is this true in the number of ships voted, but the expenditures will be made in three years instead of five, as had been contemplated. The cost of reorganizing and strengthening the army also will be heavy, and in consequence congress was compelled to appropriate heavy sums for this work. Because of the reorganization greater supplies of field guns, aeroplanes, ammunition and other military impediments were necessary. In fact, increases over the original estimates ran the gamut of the entire army bill. The house ways and means committee, which has been struggling with the revenue bill that is expected to turn into the treasury a golden stream to meet the congressional demand, is in a quandary. Chairman Kitchin and his subcommittee had drafted a measure calculated to produce in revenue $240,000,000. Now it is found that because of the unprecedented appropriations, much of them due to the Mexican crisis, an additional $100,000,000 must be saddled on the bill in order that the treasury may be on the safe side of the situation. As a result the leaders in the capital are busily engaged in scouting to conference at the White House and treasury department. President Wilson is fully alive to the political necessity of solving the financial situation before the campaign gets under way. In seeking for this solution the chief executive and his advisers find themselves on the horns of a dilemma. The revenue bill proposes to raise the necessary funds largely through direct taxation, a method that in the past had not be popular with the American people. On the other hand, the administration recognizes that a bond issue to meet the expenditures would be politically unwise. The suggestion that a block of Panama canal bonds held in the treasury be released and thrown upon the market does not meet with the president's favor. The administration is said to feel that the public effect would be the same as though "war bonds" were issued directly. All in all, out of the traimoll and aggravation of present international and domestic problems arises the one question: "Where is the money coming from to meet the cost?" WILL TATTOOED ON HIS BACK. Coroner Finds Man's Body Covered With Fantastic Designs. While performing an autopsy over George Balintyne Hood, who died at Pittsburgh, Deputy Coroner McKinley found the wilt of Hood tattooed on his back. Deepy imprinted in the skin the will read. "All my earthly possessions I bequeath to my beloved mother." Hood's entire body, with the exception of his face, hands and feet, was tattooed with pictures of women, dogs, horses and other designs. It had taken seven years, and Hood had told friends that he suffered agony during the needlework. He visited every circus that came to Pittsburgh and each time had a new picture cut into his skin.

SUBSCRIPTION: One year ..... $1.50 Six months ..... 1.00 Three months ..... 50 The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People deserves to be supported in some way by every Negro worthy of the name. It does business in a business like way and has gotten to the point where it is indispensible. In the recent Waco horror, it has done some extra good work. "The Problem", a poem by Ella Wheeler Wilcox, is one that should be carefully read and studied by all who love good things in literature. How blind is human justice after all. A ruling in a certain city forbade the re-opening of a certain moving picture house because the class of plays were said to be immoral. The house catered only to grown people. Yet the same city suffered the infamous "Birth of a Nation" film to be shown with all its untold possibilities for evil and even little children of the most impressionable age saw that. Anything which people see or hear which is not for the uplift and the betterment of humanity is immoral, and should be suppressed. "Speak gently and keep the voice low." "Of one blood God made all men to dwell on the face of the earth." All men know and realize this, yet the cry of the oppressed is continually with us. Rich against poor, black against white, man against man it is the same story, of wrong and misunderstanding the world over. The editor of The Georgia Baptist, Augusta, Ga., seems to have had on his fighting togs in the issue of the 13th. His editorials were brim full of good advice and were indeed a good lashing for The Double Dealer, and character assassin. May the editor of the Baptist live long and continue by his writing to show up these self-appointed leaders. --- In striking contrast to the preparedness parade at Washington, June 14, is the one given in Forth Worth, Texas, the latter part of June. The Negroes had their unit, and the leading paper of the town did not fail to give them due credit. Whenever Texas with its Wace horror, decides to give black men their just deserts, it is time for even President Wilson to sit up and take notice. Georgia has four candidates for governor—Pottle, Dorsay, Harris and Hardeman. Hardeman's platform is prohibition, though prohibition is not an issue. Harris' platform is, "I am a Confederate veteran." Though the war has been over for fifty years and the states reconstructed. Pottle's platform is for the enforcing of the law, without suggesting a single means or method of enforcing it. Dorsey's platform is, "I will not pardon any man, it matters not what his crime was or the extenuating circumstances surrounding his conviction, if he was convicted by a jury." —Atlanta Independent.

The Blade wants to ask a few questions and request an answer from Adam Patterson and his aggregation. First, are these gentlemen permitted to ride through the South in a first class car? If not, why not? Second, are these gentlemen taken on equality with those who established the "Jim Crow" cars? Are the wives and daughters of these gentlemen permitted in a first-class car going South or any section of this country, when the disfranchisement laws are enforced? What inducement, therefore, has been the democratic party? Are they not aware that it is the scheme of the democratic party to tighten the rope around the neck of colored Americans. Are these colored men sane or insane? There is nothing in the democratic party for the Colored American, and never will be. Men have a right to exercise their own judgment, but so far as the colored men are concerned The Blade believes there are exceptions. Look, if you please, when you are in a car at the opposite and ask yourself the question, "Am I an American citizen? If you are an American citizen, are you not the equal of those who discriminate against you? What will the colored man do under the present conditions? Race prejudice is more rampant now than at any time in the history of this republic. The argument that is being advanced by these colored men who are supporting Mr. Wilson is flimsy. It is ridiculous. The idea of praising the party that declares the colored man's inferiority and condemning the party that recognizes equality of citizenship. What has become of the colored man's senses? Is he crazy? Nothing is more humiliating than to see your wives and daughters discriminated against. Beware of false prophets! A NEW MOVEMENT A movement to celebrate the 300th year of the advent of the Negro into this country was organized November 1, 1915, incorporated under the laws of the state of Florida with home office in Jacksonville, Duval County. The name of the corporation is the Negro National Anniversary and Progressive Association. The object of this association is to promote a celebration in 1919 commemorating the advent of the Negro in this country. The main and specific object is to set up a monument in honor of our dead martyrs, who with their prayers and tears made it possible for us to enjoy the privileges we now enjoy. In this monument we propose to have all manner of art and designs, inventions and such other accomplishments of the Negro race enterprise herein not mentioned, and we are appealing to every race enterprise for a donation of $1 to be paid within six months from June 15, 1916, all the professional and business men and every woman, persons of each and every class and line of work to respond to this call and by your aid we will perfect one of the greatest accomplishments in the history of the Negro race. Other races have made such things possible for themselves, why not we? This is a cause worthy of your consideration. It is our desire to classify our work as nearly as possible and herewith give an outline of some of the different classes, various forms of industry, inventions, exhibition of skill, literary and science, art, schools and colleges, all professions, machinery, manufacturing trades and business pursuits. After much prayerful thought and consideration among some of our leading men and women we decided with the cooperation of the masses of the people we can and will make this celebration one that will not be forgotten and by so doing we will make a page in the world's history. Now to the location of the building; these are names of some of the places mentioned by people in other states; Atlanta, Ga., Baltimore, Md., Washington, D. C., Jamestown, Va., Chicago, Ill., St. Louis, Mo. Name your city and write to home office, 610 West Union St., Jacksonville, Fla. J. H. Jones, president; R. L. Jenkins, secretary. If the government at Washington can appropriate and spend two hundred million dollars to pacify Mexico and muster in one hundred thousand of our brightest youth to die from tropical diseases and to be bushwhacked in Mexico to restore law and order, why can it not take steps to prevent the burning of human beings in the cities of Waco, Texas, Monticello, Ga., and the wholesale slaughter of American citizens in the custody of the law as was done in Worth and Early County, Georgia? The Merchants who advertise in The Blade appreciate your trade and will give you polite service. GIRL HANGS TO ROOF OF AUTO BY HER NECK CHAIN Father, Who Was Driving, Finds Her Unconscious and Effects Her Release. Waverly, Kan.—Miss Dorothea Roberts, daughter of Dr. and Mrs. M. B. Roberts of Waverly, met with a very unusual and peculiar accident which almost cost her life. With her father she was riding in their car, the girl in the rear seat, the father in the front seat, driving. In passing over a culvert at good speed the girl was thrown against the top of the automobile and a strong chain which she wore about her neck caught over one of the bows in the top. There she hung until the father noticed that she failed to answer his remarks. When he looked around he found her unconscious hanging to the top of the automobile. He stopped immediately and did what he could, but she was unconscious for several hours. Her mouth was full of blood caused from the choking of the chain. She is on the road to recovery BEGGAR PRODUCES MISSING ARM; HITS POLICEMAN Surprised Patrolman Recovers and Puts Husky Fugitive Under Arrest After Fight. San Francisco.—When is a one round beggar not a one armed beggar? Patrolman John J. Mullin learned the answer when he went to the hospital. Mullin caught Russell Head, who says he is a waiter, begging alms on Market street, near O Farrell. One sleeve of the alms seer's coat was empty, and the arrest caused murmurs of sympathy for the bewoebegar beggar to well from the lips of passers by. Mullin took Head to a nearby patrol box. With bewildering prestidigitation Head produced a second solid, substantial arm from under his coat. At the end of the "new" arm was attached a fist which assembled a ham. Before Mullin could recover from his astonishment Head leaned his fist against the former's jaw, and Mullin fell to the pavement. Head ran away from there, with Mullin in hot pursuit. A brisk battle followed, during which Head seized the patrolman's third finger of the right hand in his mouth and nearly bit it off. Head is now in the city prison, charged with begging and resisting a policeman, and Mullin is in the hospital with REFORESTING SMALL ISLAND Plan to Make Habitable More of the Hawaiian Group. Honolulu.—The reforesting of now barren Kahoolawe island, in the Hawaiian group, is the proposition the territorial board of agriculture, the members of which, after a visit to the small islet heretofore designated unsuitable for settlement, decided to begin the work of planting algaroba trees there. It is recommended a portion of the island swept by the strong trade winds be fenced to prevent depredations by sheep and wild goats. Members of the board say the introduction of horses on the island would assist in the distribution of seed. It is also proposed to construct several large reservoirs to conserve the rainwater that falls so plentifully at all times. Algaroba trees planted there ten years ago have reached a substantial growth. COLORS EMPLOYED ON FARM. Barnhart Tells How He Made the Whole Place Yellow and White. Whole Place Yellow and White. Reading, Pa.-Henry A. Barnhart of Indiana told the committee of the state board of agriculture, in session here, of his efforts in behalf of the artistic side of farming. He illustrated this by citing that his big barns and outbuildings are all painted yellow, with white trimmings; the farmhouse is painted white, with yellow trimmings; the cattle have the same yellow color, because they are Guernseys; not a horse is used except he is yellow and has a white mark on his head and white feet. The shepherd dog is yellow, with a white band around his neck; there are yellow colored chickens, yellow colored squirrels, the place being known as the "Color Scheme Farm of Indiana." BORN WITH EIGHT TEETH. Baby Also Brought Into World a Sufficient Quantity of Hair. Pittsburgh.—A baby boy born with eight teeth and Samsonian locks has the attention of all Undercliff. The boy has been named Alvin Leroy King and is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Kring King. When the baby opened his mouth for his first lusty yell the nurse was surprised to see four teeth each in upper and lower jaws. The child's head was covered with black hair. Ever since the King home has been an attraction for mothers, fathers and children calling to see the baby. Protects Tame Jack Rabbit Bloomingdale, Ind.—William B. Leonard has inserted a notice in the newspapers requesting his friends and neighbors not to harm his pet Kansas jack rabbit. The rabbit has the run of the Leonard farm, but is so domestic that it returns at night to sleep in the kitchen. ARTISTS DESCRIBE THREE NEW COINS MONEY IS MUCH ADMIRED Liberty is a Full Length Female Gowned in Folds of Stars and Stripes on the Half Dollar—Wears a Winged Cap on the Dime—Quarter Shows Her Uncovering Shield. Adolph Alexander Weinman, designer of the new United States fifty and ten cent pieces, and Herman A. MacNell, designer of the new twenty-five cent piece, have given the following descriptions of their designs and the artistic thought back of the drawings. "While I was given an entirely free hand in the designing of the coins, the subject of the designs was determined by the law governing the coinage of the United States which law sets forth just what is to appear upon the obverse and reverse of each coin. The manner of representation is, of course, left to the artist, subject to the approval of the director of the mint and the secretary of the treasury. Thus the obverse of the half dollar bears an impression emblematic of Liberty, with an inscription of the word 'Liberty' and the year of the coinage. The same applies to the obverse of the dime. "Upon the reverse there is the figure or representation of an eagle, with this inscription, 'United States of America.' "The character of the subject for the reverse of the dime has not been mentioned in this law on coinage. "In my design for the half dollar I have represented Liberty in a full length female figure enveloped in the folds of the stars and stripes, progressing in full stride toward the glorious dawn of a new day, carrying branches of laurel and of oak, symbolical of civic and of military glory. Her right hand is extended in bestowal of the spirit of liberty upon the 'hand of the free and the home of the brave.' "The design for the reverse of the half dollar shows the American eagle perched high upon a mountain crag, his wings unfolded, fearless in spirit and conscious of his power. Springing from a rift in the rock is a sapling of mountain pine, symbolical of America. "The design for the dime, owing to the smallness of the coin, has been held quite simple. % of obverse shows a head of Liberty with a winged cap. The head is firm and simple in form, the profile forceful. "The reverse shows a design of a bundle of staffs with battle ax, the 'fusces,' emblem of unity and symbol of strength and preparedness. Surrounding the fusces is a full foliaged branch of olive, symbol of peace." Adolph Alexander Weinman, sculptor, was born in Karlsruhe, Baden, Germany, Dec. 11, 1870. He obtained his education in Germany and in this country. "It seemed to me a good plan to try to typify in the issue of the new coins not only our country's development artistically, but also to express, so far as possible, the development of the country itself since the last issue, some twenty-five years ago. "With this in mind, it seemed to me that the idea most in the minds of the whole people these last few years was an awakening from the slumber of security in their own strength. It is a well understood fact that strength trained doubles its value and efficiency, so in the obverse of the coin I suggested the figure of Liberty in the act of uncovering her shield to typify preparedness and had her also bearing the olive branch to signify there was no aggressive idea in it. "From the point of view of numismatics, as well as carrying out this idea, I placed the figure stepping forward to what might be called the gateway of the country. Artistically you will understand that it is a very difficult thing anyway, even without the prescribed limitations, to express in so small a thing as a coin anything more than the mere kernel of an idea." Herman Atkins - MacNeil, sculptor, was born in Chelsea, Mass., in 1866. He was graduated from the Massachusetts State Normal school in 1886. He was a pupil of Chapin at Jullen academy and spent twelve years at the Cole des Beaux Arts in Paris. PLAN SING SING REGIMENT. Prisoners Ask Governor Whitman For Chance to Serve Country. Permission to form a convicts' regiment to fight in Mexico has been requested of Governor Whitman by members of the Mutual Welfare league at Sing Sing both by telegram and through the official organ of the league. The leading article of the Bulletin, published by the league, is entitled "The Call to Arms—A Regiment For Prisoners. Why not?" Warden Kirchwey said that undoubtedly 200 or 300 men in the prison would like to go to the front, but expressed himself as very skeptical of the governor's acceptance of the proposal. "It is easy to guess what the governor will answer to that," he remarked. His Excellent Defense.

SCIENCE—INDUSTRY. Scarcity of Manganese Ore. The prices offered for manganese ore adapted to the manufacture of ferromanganese rose during 1915 to the highest figures that have been recorded for thirty years. In August eastern alloy makers offered $22.50 a ton for 50 per cent ore, which should be compared with $12.50 per ton, the average price for the preceding five years. In March, 1916, it was reported that $22.50 per ton was paid for such ore. This great rise in prices was due largely to the advance in ocean freights caused by the shortage of vessels in which to move imported ore. There is good reason for expecting a further increase in domestic production during 1916 as a result of the high prices offered, but it is doubtful whether more than 10 per cent of the domestic demand can be met by domestic production. The shortage of high grade manganese dioxide ores caused by cessation of exports from Russia has become a serious menace to the dry battery and flint glass industries. Prices as high as $85 a ton are freely offered, but as only a few deposits in the United States can supply ore of this grade little domestic ore has come to the market. There is record of a marketed production of 550 tons from mines in Arizona, California, Colorado, Utah and Virginia during 1915, whereas the annual demand ranges from 20,000 to 25,000 tons. Ore of this grade was imported from Japan and Cuba during 1915. Scrap Metals Valuable The value of the copper, lead, zinc, tin, aluminum and antimony recovered in the United States from scrap metals, skimmings and drosses in 1915 was $114,304,030 against $77,039,706 in 1914, a 100 per cent Increase, says a bulletin of the United States geological survey. This large gain was caused by greater recoveries and much higher average values for all metals. Increased traffic on the railroads and a large demand for metal products, particularly for those to be exported, made 1915 the most prosperous year in the waste metal trade. The imperative demand for zinc and copper by nutrition manufacturers and for foreign trade made spot metal very scarce. Secondary metals not desired for these purposes were generally available for domestic uses when virgin metal could not be purchased for prompt delivery. The incentive of high prices caused all metal wastes to be more carefully saved, segregated and refined. Many manufacturers who had considered virgin metals only as suitable for their needs found that they could use considerable scrap provided could use waste material provided they selected suitable material and used good judgment in lst treatment. South Dakota Lignite. Few people think of South Dakota as containing much fuel, and therefore many may be surprised to know that in Pekins and Harding counties, in that state, there are more than 1,000,000,000 tons of coal. This estimate is given in a bulletin of the United States geological survey, just published, and covers lignite in beds more than two feet six inches thick. Thinner beds are not considered valuable, and lands containing only such beds are classified as noncoal. At present this lignite is mined for local domestic use and as fuel for steam plow equipments. Experiments made by the United States geological survey and later at the bureau of mines and the North Dakota School of Mines have proved that this lignite on brilqueting makes a very superior fuel. When burned without brilqueting in a producer gas engine it is more efficient than the best coal when burned under boilers.

New Camera Device A camera device for film cameras enabling one to take two pictures on a single film has been invented by Waldo P. Hepple, a junior in animal husbandry in the Kansas State Agricultural college. The device is simple in its makeup and can be readily attached to the ordinary camera using film pack or roll films, for which it has been expressly designed. By means of this device the operator can take two exposures on a single film, each picture being half the size of the film. The operator has his choice of a full size picture or a smaller, half size picture of an object or of two pictures of the same object on a single film. The invention also covers the taking of more than two pictures on the same film. Jimmy Shaw, Washington's Promising Twirler. Photo by American Press Association. Jimmy Shaw of the Washington American league club is touted by his teammates as a comer. He is said to have as much speed as the great Walter Johnson. Shaw's greatest fault is said to be lack of control, and it is predicted that when he overcomes that difficulty he will be one of the greatest twirlers of the game. Shaw is a native of Pittsburgh, a product of the Pittsburgh collegians, and Clark Griffith believes that he will develop into a winning hurler before the season is much older. Ring Orator Made a Hit Speaking of announcers recalls the time when "Let her go" Billy Jordan failed to show up at Woodward pavilion in San Francisco on account of illness, says Igoe in the New York World. There were a dozen men who wanted the chance to take Billy's place in the ring. They finally selected a man who said that he had sold "Tiger Marrow-fat" with Bill Mizner in a No. 2 medicine show to do the announcing. He was an instantaneous hit. Two skimny looking preliminary boys crawled through the ropes ready to do battle. A sergeant of police got an eyeful and ordered that the club doctor give the scrawny pair a thorough go over. The lads were hustled out of the ring, and then Bill Jordan's understudy stepped to the center of the ring to inform the crowd of the reason for the delay. Assuming an Edwin Booth pose, he raised his hand for silence. "Gent lemen," he began. "The dock-tors weel eggs am-in the fight tors, and after the eggs am-en-a-shawn the bat-tull will a go on-a." There was many a dull thud heard as strong men fell into the aisles. There have been ring orators, but never one like this chap. Hoppe and Sutton Matched. Hoppe and Sutton matched. The peculiar persistence of G. Butler Sutton, the veteran Chicago billardist, in challenging William F. Hoppe of New York has been rewarded. Sutton has been granted the match for which he has yearned for many moons. Now that he has won his chance after repeated failures, what shall he accomplish? That is the question devotees of bulk line billiards all over the country are asking one another. The average fan does not believe Sutton figures to win against Hoppe at all, but deep down in the veteran's heart he feels that, notwithstanding a row of defeats at the hands of the champion of champions, he is still his master, which he hopes to demonstrate at St. Louis late next October. Moran Sticks to Old Lineup. Pat Moran evidently believes in letting well enough alone. He is sticking to the Philies' old lineup, believing that there is no room for improvement. Moran built up a pennant winner last year with material that was believed at first to lack the necessary quality. The Philies were shown up by the Red Sox in the world's series, but only for the reason that the Boston pitchers displayed greater effectiveness. Moran therefore reached the conclusion when the Philies reported in March that it would be wise to make no experiments. So he has been plugging along with the same infield—Luduser, Nichoff, Bancroft and Stock—at the same time keeping Whitted, Passert and Cravath in the outfield. Passing of Ed Walsh Note the difference between Pitchers Eddie Plank and Ed Walsh. Plank is far below Walsh in physique and stamina. His pitching lacked the ease of the "big Reel." But Plank was work ed wisely. He knew about what he could stand, and from twenty-five to thirty names a year was his limit. while Walsh was working from fifty to sixty-five. The answer is that Plank is still a star at forty-one, and Walsh is through at thirty four. YOUNG FOLKS' CORNER Characteristics—A Game. A game called "characteristics" furnishes good fun among friends whose personal peculiarities may be hit off good naturally. Have as many cards as players, and at the top of each card write the name of one of the players. In a column on the left write the following: intellect, piety, courage, obstinacy, humor, taste, tact, generosity, truthfulness, affection. Or you may substitute other characteristics if you prefer, but all the cards should be the same. Explain that 10 is the normal percentage for each characteristic, that any number less or more than that is below or above the normal and that the whole must add up to 100 per cent. Distribute the cards so that no one receives the one with his own name upon it. Each one then fills in the percentages, according to his ideas of the person's character or in a jesting spirit, as he chooses. After all have been filled in gather up the cards. Have ready ten slips of paper, on each of which has been written one of the characteristics. One of the company, blindfolded, draws one of the slips out of a basket. The player who has been given the greatest percentage in this characteristic is required to do some "stunt" proving his claim to the quality. After this each card is read aloud, and the misfits cause much amusement "Hypnotizing." In order to play this game you must have two small dishes, each with a little water in it. On the bottom of one of the dishes rub the black from a burned match. Give the dish with the black on to the person to be hypnotized, and take the plain one yourself. Place the person so that he faces you, and tell him to look straight at you and do exactly what you do. Then place your finger in the water, rub it around on the bottom of the dish and rub it across your forehead. Do the same thing again, this time rubbing it on one cheek and again on the other check. Of course the other person does the same thing with the exception that he rubs a black streak on his face each time while you rub just plain water. It is essential that the two persons look at each other during the entire process and never at their hands on the dish. After the person is hypnotized he must look at himself in the mirror. Fire Worshipers. The Parsees of Bombay are called the "fire worshipers" of the east because they hold in great reverence the fire they brought with them from Persia and have never allowed it to become extinguished in their temples and because they worship the sun as the author of life. The Parsees have always held aloof from other people and are famed for their commercial ability. As a consequence of this ability they are the wealthiest, most cultured and influential class in Bombay. So numerous are they that Bombay has been called the "city of Parsees." The religion of the Parsees is one of the ancient religions of the world and was the religion of Persia when that country was second in power of the four great empires of the world—Babylonia, Persia, Greece and Rome. Game of "Trades." To play the game of "trades" the players divide into two equal parties. One party retires and decides upon some trade or occupation, when they advance to the second party, saying: Here are some men from Botany bay. Got any work to do today? The second party asks, "What can you do?" First Party—Anything. Second Party—Set to work, then. Then the first party goes through the motions of some occupation, such as sawing, hammering, etc. The second party must guess what occupation has been chosen. If successful they have a turn at representing a trade. Conundrums. What is the difference between a watchmaker and a jailer? One sells watches, the other watches cells. What word becomes shorter by the addition of a syllable? Short. What month of the year is a Hebraic falsehood? July. What kind of a robbery is never dangerous? A safe robbery. If your uncle's sister is not your aunt, what relation is she to you? Your mother. Why does a duck go under water? For divers reasons. A Trick Blotter An ordinary blotter may be transformed easily so that it will remove ink completely when applied instead of leaving sufficient to recognize the script by steeping it in a solution of oxalic acid. Permit it to dry after several applications of the acid. It will be the source of much amusement and is useful as well.—Popular Mechanics. Song of Summer Days. Sing a song of summer days.

Record Suit Case That Collapses When Not In Use. --- Women on shopping expeditions frequently carry suit cases in which to take home the various small articles they may purchase. In order to overcome the bother of the suit case when it is not in service a woman inventor has designed one which collapses, and when there is no demand for its services it is folded up and carried flat under the arm like a book. The receptacle, with all its sides, top and bottom, is in one piece, but provision is made for locking the edges together so that when it is properly shaped up the dress suit case is a substantial receptacle suitable for all ordinary uses. Gooseberry Shortcake. Make a very sweet gooseberry sauce, this for the filling. For the pastry use one generous pint of flour, two even teaspoonfuls of baking powder, one egg, one cupful of milk, one tablespoonful (heaping) of butter and one-half cupful of sugar. Sift the dry ingredients together, beat the egg thoroughly, add the milk and the melted butter, then into this stir the dry ingredients. Pour into layer cake thin and bake. Remove from the oven and, while still warm, split the cake, and butter each layer. Just before serving place one layer of the cake on a deep plate, cover with a thick layer of the gooseberry sauce, place the second layer on top of this and pour over all the remainder of the sauce. Serve immediately, with or without cream, as desired. Cleaning Lace. The kind of lace that is too delicate to be washed in the usual way can be cleaned in this way: Make a strong soapsuds of some good soap and allow the lace to remain in it for several hours at least, although it is well to shake it out occasionally. A wide mouthed bottle is most convenient to handle. When the lace is thoroughly soaked let the soapy water out of the bottle and keep adding clean water until the soap has all been removed from the lace. Do not handle the lace at all; shaking the bottle will rinse it thoroughly. If the lace is narrow wind it around a bottle that has been covered with a piece of soft flannel and do not remove it until it is dry. Walnut Staining For Floors. Walnut Staining For Floors. If you want a dark floor like walnut, first be sure that the floor is quite clean; then take a pound of burnt umber ground in oil; mix a sufficient quantity of this in boiled inseed oil, enough to color it and not thicken the oil very much. Then try it on a small piece of wood until you get the color desired, and in this way you will learn the quantity of umber to use. Rub this into the floor until the stain ceases to come off, and it should be a rich walnut brown. If some of the color dries out another coat will bring it up. Cherry Fritters. Sift together one cupful of flour, one teaspoonful of baking powder and one-fourth teaspoonful of salt. Add to one-half cupful of milk two well beaten eggs, a level tablespoonful of melted butter and, lastly, the dry ingredients. Now add one cupful of pitted cherries which have been mixed with one-half cupful of granulated sugar, stir thoroughly, then drop by spoonfuls into deep fat and fry as ordinary fritters. Serve hot with sipr. Care of Gloves When putting gloves on always begin by buttoning the second button; then, when butttoned to the top, you can easily fasten the first button without tearing the kid.
