TABLOID OF NEWS FOR BUSY READERS TABLOID OF NEWS FOR BUSY READERS Washington — Senator James D. Phelan, California, is agitated over the increase in the birth rate of Japanese in California. He says that if Japanese continue to add to the population at the present rate the white race will soon be overwhelmed. "I am alarmed to read the official statement," said Mr. Phelan, "that one third of our births outside of incorporated cities and towns in Los Angeles county were Japanese. "If this is not checked it means the end of the white race in California, the subversion of American institutions and the end of our western civilization." Toronto, Canada — The prolonged street car strike in Toronto brought into the public eye probably the most successful colored business man in Canada, Fred Hubbard, assistant general manager of the great Toronto street railway system, who draws a salary of $8,000 a year, certainly the highest salary paid to any colored man in Toronto and probably in all Canada.

Burt, of Dougherty county, providing that the appropriation for the Georgian Normal and Agricultural School be raised from $5,000 to $20,000 a year. Des Moines, Ia.—Colored women of Des Moines have met and made further plans for the organization of a women's political club for Colored women only. The club will make a systematic study of civic and political problems, it is said, and the members will be instructed on how to vote. Tampa, Fla.—B. C. Wilcox, a deputy sheriff, was killed near Clermont, 75 miles north of here, as he and Sheriff Smythe, of Lake county, exchanged shots with Luther Wilson, white man, on a charge of attempted assault on a young white woman. Wilson was arrested several weeks ago and escaped. The young woman was related by marriage to Wilson. She asserted he had blacked his face to resemble a Negro, but that she recognized him. Jackson, Miss.—In reply to a query from a Chicago newspaper as to how many Negroes Mississippi could absorb, the Governor wired: "Mississippi has room for all the 'niggers' in the world, but none for 'colored ladies and gentlemen.'" Washington, D. C.—Secretary Lane, in his latest annual report, urges national appropriations for education, which he considers as vital to national welfare as the construction of Highways or the government inspection of foods. He wants Federal co-operation with the States in wiping out native white illiteracy, in Americanizing the foreign-born, and in bettering Negro education. Washington, D. C. — Reported consignments of arms and ammunition alleged being made upon an order from Chicago mail order houses, to Negroes of Colorado County, Texas and particularly in the county seat Columbus, which reached Representative J. J. Mansh'eil today, were laid before the War Department and the Department of Justice for action by the Federal Government. BELOIT The trustees of the First A. M. E.

HAS WON PLACE OF HONOR Salvation Army's Work for Fifty-Four Years Recognized as Worthy of the Highest Praise. Except for the war the Salvation Army would have celebrated its fifteenth birthday four years ago, but there could hardly have been a better reminder of what the army had done and become in a half century than the recent award of the Victoria Cross to three Salvation Army soldiers for their service in France. Fifty-four years ago things were very different; the first appearances of the salvationists aroused opposition, rowdies tried to break up the meetings, and on at least one occasion members of the future army were arrested in England as "disturbers of the peace." Originally simply an attempt to make converts by outdoor preaching, the movement which William Booth started in July, 1865, was put on a military basis and became the Salvation Army in 1878, since which time it has grown from 75 corps in England to about 9,000 corps and outposts in more than 60 countries. The army was officially recognized by King Edward VII when he received the founder at Buckingham palace in 1904; a different yet remarkable "official recognition" occurred quite recently when a tableau honoring the Salvation Army was made the climax of the current "Ziegfeld Follies" on Broadway. SUFFERED FOR OTHER'S SIN Pathetic Story Told as an Example of the Pegil That Lies in Inefficiency. A. R. Hawley, president of the Aero club, told in New York the other day an inefficiency story. "Beware the inefficient man," he said, "for if you have dealings with him it is you, not he, that will suffer from his inefficiency. "A foreigner in outlandish garb claiming to be an Armenian came here to solicit funds last year for his computriots. It happened that another Armenian was arrested at the time, and the first chap was asked to go to court and act as his interpreter. "Well, he reluctantly consented to act, though the truth was that he knew no Armenian whatever. Anyhow he stalked into the courtroom, listened in grave silence to the prisoner's passionate protestations of innocence, and then turned to the judge and said with a low bow. "The your honor, my compatriot has confessed all. He begs you, however, to be lenient for suffering Armenia's sake." "The judge thanked the interpreter warmly for his services, and then sentenced the innocent prisoner to five years' hard labor." London New Less Noisy Middle-aged Londoners who went to and fro in the capital in the sixties and seventies merely smile when we ask if London could possibly be noisier than it is at the present day. For they say it was a far noisier place then, when nearly all the main streets were granite paved and all the wheels of the vehicles iron bound. There was a continuous roar then to which the present day sound is a mere whisper. One such Londoner says he often heard in the old days the roar of London's traffic from as far away a spot as the Crystal Palace parade. The sound was like that of continual very distant thunder. He has many times in recent years listened for the sound from the same spot, but has never heard it—London Chronicle. Cenan Doyle's "Familiar" Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "familiar" proved of very practical assistance to him the other day. The creator of "Sherlock Holmes" walked into his study, and after some indecision defted over to the wastepaper basket, plunged his arm into the litter, and—extracted a valuable war office document relating to the history of the war! It had blown from the table into the basket. "Ive never done such a thing before," said Sir Arthur, in narrating the circumstances, and the unusual course of action which he followed with such good results he attributes wholly to the promptings of his "familiar."—London Chronicle.

PRICE 5 CENTS-NO. 13 SOLDIERS ACQUITTED IN CAMP GRANT TRIAL Men Who Were Sentenced to Die, Are Freed by Courtmartial Ordered by President. Camp Grant, III.—After nearly four months of hard work the General Court Martial appointed by President Wilson to try the fourteen Colored soldiers at Camp Grant for an alleged criminal assault upon Louise M. Schneider, completed its work resulting in the acquittal of six of the men and eight were convicted. On the 14th day of May, 1916, a number of soldiers alleged to have committed an offense upon this woman were apprehended and arrested just before the 92nd Division sailed for France. Their trial was hurriedly completed resulting in the conviction of fifteen men, eight of whom were sentenced to pay the death penalty by hanging, the others to serve life in the penitentiary. President Wilson reviewed the record of the first trial and ordered a new trial for the convicted soldiers principally on the ground that they were not given sufficient time in which to prepare their defense. Col. Young was president of the court martial that tried the soldiers, the other twelve members were white officers of the rank of colonels and majors. Just a few days before the case was set for trial, Major A. E. Patterson, judge advocate for the 92nd Division, returned from France and was persuaded by his friends and the convicted boys to undertake their defense. There was no money available for this work but Major Patterson decided to undertake the job as a contribution to the boys and a vindication of the fair name of the race, and of the spendid record the Colored soldiers made in France. For the first time in nearly sixteen months, Andrew Fields, James Reel, Col. Jackson Cheeks, Iron Townsend and Clemmie Johnson, five of those acquitted were able to walk around the camp without a guard and handcuffs, and Eleazor Chapman, the soldier returned from France to be tried was the sixth man released. Expensive Immigrants Dangerous pests introduced from abroad are the Oriental pench moth, be Japanese beetle, the European earwig, the Leopard moth, the alfalfa weevil, the European eelworm, and the European corn borer. The latter is a pest which apparently was brought to the United States in a cargo of hemp unloaded at a rope factory near Boston, Mass. It is exceedingly destructive to corn, feeding by boring in the stalk. In its operation it works upward, eating out a chamber from the plith. The developing ears are also sometimes hollowed out. As high as 90 per cent of the stalk* in a corn field may be infected. Over 200 borers have been found in stalks growing in one hill of corn. Control is made more difficult by the fact that the borer feeds on a number of other plants, including the stalks of weeds and flowers, and may live over winter in grass roots. Donkeys Wear the Trousers There is one spot in Europe where the women have not yet taken to instituting male attire, but the donkeys have. Visitors to La Rochelle usually take a trip across to the He de Rhe, which is about two miles from the mainland. Nothing in the Sand impresses them more than the donkeys. These animals, who do most of the draught work, invariably have their legs encased in trousers, tasted with cords over the witters and the blindquarters. The natural impressions is that a carnival is in progress. But the donkeys are thus attired whenever they go to work, for the He de Rhe is infested with mosquitoes and a peculiar fly most obsolete to animals. Fiction Concerning Sargossa Sea The Sargossa sea in the north Atlantic is an area through which no ocean currents pass. It is comparatively still water, forming a sort of eddy into which seaweed tends to drift. Writers of fiction have held that the dead ships of the ages have found resting places in this eddy and have peopled them with the spirits of lost mariners. The idea is pure fiction. The Sargossa sea may be navigated without experiencing any difficulty with seaweed and without seeing a derelict. Valuable Daughters. A daughter is is of considerably more value to the Kaffir than a son. Up to the age of ten, a Kaffir girl is kept at home; then she has to earn her own living, either as a servant at a white lady's house, or by assisting her father in hoeing the mealie and corn patch. As soon as she reaches a marriageable age suitors arrive. Beauty is a small attraction in the eyes of the Kaffir lady-killer. The father bargains with the suitor. A very fair price for a good girl is eight oken. Natural Wonderland in Indiana on Lake Michigan Should Be Saved for the People W WANTED: The Dunes National park—in the sand dunes of indian; on the shore of Lake Michigan between Gary and Michigan City! The middle West has visited the playgrounds of the people in the scenic West—the national parks of the Rockies, Sierra and Cascades. It has found them good. It has fallen in love with the national park idea. Now it is asking: "Why not a national park right here, instead of half way across the continent?" For there is not a scenic national park worthy of the name between Rocky Mountain in Colorado and Lafayette on the coast of Maine. So Indiana, Illinois and Michigan want a national park, and they have picked out the dunes as the right place for it. How they are going to bring about its establishment is a big question. The proposed park area is all under private ownership and is held at speculative prices on the chance of a second Gary being built at the head of Lake Michigan. Even at actuum values it would cost about $2,500,000 to buy the 13,000 acres most desirable for park purposes. The scenic parks of the West were taken from the national forests and the public domain by congress. To date there is no precedent for the appropriation by congress of funds to purchase a national park area. Lafayette was presented to the government for national park purposes by the owners of the property. Congress has no national park policy. It dilly-dallies with national parks as it does with most other things. It is now generous with appropriations and again niggardly; for instance, it gave Yellowstone $334,000 and Yosemite $255,000 in 1919 and kept Rocky Mountain, with twice as many visitors as both parks, down to $10,000. Politics enters largely into all national park legislation. In the Sixty-fourth congress the interior department supported the bill to enlarge Yellowstone and the bill to add to Sequoia and change its name to Roosevelt. The agricultural department, because the proposed additions would be taken from national forests, and therefore from its control, opposed both bills, beating the former in the senate and the latter in the house. So there is no telling what congress will or will not do in the matter of national park legislation. Can congress be induced to appropriate money for the purchase of private holdings for national park purposes? This question has been put squarely up to congress by two bills introduced at this session. One calls for the appropriation of a million dollars or so for the purchase of Mammoth cave, Kentucky, and its environs for a national park. The other provides for the establishment of the Mississippi Valley National park on both sides of the Mississippi in southwestern Wisconsin and northeastern Iowa. Here the two states own the land under the river, the federal government controls its navigation, part of the proposed area is a Wisconsin state park, some of the land will be donated and the land to be purchased by the government has been appraised at a very moderate price. Can congress condemn private holdings for national park purposes? Nobody seems to know. Most lawyers would say off-hand that the state of Indiana can condemn the dunes for state park purposes. And presumably the state of Indiana could transfer the land to the federal government. The national park service has been looking into the question of condemnation. It is advised that the government can condemn private holdings inside of national park boundaries—in fact, a bill is pending to condemn 160 acres in General Grant National park which the owner will not sell for a reasonable price. As to the condemnation of patented land outside of a national park the national park service is yet undecided. Condemnation of the dunes has been advocated by private individuals and by the press. The creation of Lafayette National park has established this precedent: The federal government will accept suitable land presented to it for national park purposes. So, while other questions are being thrashed out, the Indiana, Illinois and Michigan tederations of the General Federation of Women's Clubs are engaged in a campaign to raise sufficient money by subscription to purchase the dunes and present them to the government for national park. LAKE MICHIGAN DESTROYER and BUILDER There is no question that the Indiana dunes are worthy of national park honors. October 30, 1916, a public hearing was held in Chicago by the interior department in pursuance of a senate resolution. In September, 1917, a printed report by Director Stephen T. Mather of the national park service was issued. This report eliminated from consideration all of the dune country except a strip along the shore of Lake Michigan about a mile deep between Miller's in Lake county and Michigan City. After describing the dunes with considerable enthusiasm, Director Mather says: "Assuming, without further description of actual conditions in this dune country, that the sand dunes of Indiana are equal to those in any other section of the country; that they are the most accessible dunes; that they possess extremely interesting flora and fauna; that they offer unparalleled opportunities to observe the action of the wind and its influence on the sand and plant life; that the Lake Michigan beach is beautiful and offers bathing facilities for a multitude; that the recreational uses of the region are myriad, should they, or a large section of them, be preserved for present and future generations? If they should be preserved, are they worthy of inclusion in a national park? And if they are worthy of consideration as a possible national park, would it be practicable to establish them as such a park for the benefit and enjoyment of the people?" He answers the first two questions emphatically in the affirmative. He says this region should be preserved to the people for all time and that it is worthy of national park honors. As to the third question, he thinks it one of legislative policy to be determined by congress, inasmuch as the dunes are not public lands, and private lands have never been purchased for national park purposes. He thinks the park should contain from 9,000 to 13,000 acres, extending 15 or 20 miles along the lake. He finds that options secured by speculators vary between $350 and $600 an acre, with one tract of 2,300 acres held at $1,000 an acre. "Manifestly," says Mr. Mather, "none of these lands are actually worth $50 an acre at this time. A figure less than $200 an acre probably represents the actual value of the average tract of land not under the influence of urban values, due to proximity to cities. Practically all of the larger holdings must be purchased in their entirety. I believe that 9,000 to 13,000 acres of dune lands can probably be secured for park purposes for approximately $200 an acre. The purchase price of a park of the size suggested would therefore be between $1,800,000 and $2,600,000." The proposed Dune National park is really a wonderful place. In the first place, the dunes are an uninhabited wilderness. The fact that there is an uninhabited wilderness within a few miles of the center of population—in 1910 at Bloomington, Ind—and at the very doors of Chicago, the second city of the nation and the fourth city of the world, is in itself a marvel. Incidentally, the dunes are within a few hours by rail and automobile of 20,000,000 people. This makes them unique as a public playground. Again: The dunes are a different world from the monotonous flatness of the Chicago plain. They are a country of hills and bluffs, gullies and valleys. There are all sorts of interesting variations: Little lakes, streams, bogs, meadows. The bluffs above the beach are imposing. The beach itself is a wonder—broad, smooth, clean, free from THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE UNES SAND MARCHING INLAND A FOREST GROVEWARD rocks and stones and quicksands, sloping very gradually into deep water. There is probably no finer freshwater bathing beach in the world. Don't think of the dunes as heaps of bare sand in a desert. They are exactly the reverse. They have water, trees, shrubs, vines, flowers, grass, birds and small wild animal life. The truth is that the dunes are a great natural propagating garden with a most astonishing array of trees and plants and flowers. This garden is packed full of flora from the Lake Superior region, the Atlantic coast, the middle South and the western prairie. It seems to have almost everything in the plant line from cactus to cranberries and from pines to tulip trees. A list of only the most characteristic and important plant species numbers 208. To the ordinary visitor probably the spectacle of the "walking dunes" is the most interesting. Here he sees land in the making. Here today is a towering dune crowned with flowers and plants and trees; tomorrow it is gone and where it was is a great blow-out of glistening sand, with its steep sides strewn with dead trunks exhumed from an ancient graveyard of a previous forest. Today there is a deep gash in the bluff; tomorrow its place is taken by a very lofty heap of white sand that has come up, grain by grain, out of the lake, on which grasses and plants and shrubs and treelets are already struggling for a foothold. Today stands a forest on the edge of a shallow pond; tomorrow it is a cemetery, with even the treelets covered by sand marching in from the beach. The accompanying map and diagram shows where the material that builds the dunes is coming from and how it gets there. Lake Michigan has been taking material from the west shore and depositing it at the dunes for a period reckoned at about 5,000 years. Previous to this period the level of the lake was 50 or 60 feet higher than now and the discharge was toward the Mississippi at a point near where now are the dunes. When the ice-gorge or glacier which prevented the discharge of water into the St. Lawrence was removed and the lake drained into the Atlantic instead of the gulf, the level dropped, the present lake currents set in and the building of the dunes was begun. Public land surveys made in 1835 and soundings of Lake Michigan furnish the data for these estimates: During the last 5,000 years the waters of the lake have washed away about 500 square miles of land from the shore extending from the Indiana state line northward into Wisconsin. Where this land was is now water from 30 to 60 feet deep. The old shore line extends out from three to nine miles; then there is an abrupt drop of several hundred feet. This is an unparalleled erosion; it is accounted for by the softness of the shore, which is largely composed of material that was ground very fine by the glaciers that deposited it. It is estimated that 7,000,000 tons of soil is taken yearly by the lake from the shore north of Chicago. So there is plenty of material for building operations at the dunes. These facts suggest this interesting question: What will happen to the dunes when the supply of building material stops? And stop it will, and that comparatively soon. For the shore north of Chicago will in a few years be pretty solidly settled by people who have money to spend to prevent further erosion of the shore. In fact, erosion has already been stopped over long stretches, and in many places the shore has been built out. The time is coming when the west shore will be protected from erosion by piers and breakwaters. The supply of building material for the dunes will presumably stop. Perhaps then the dunes will stop "walking." Let us hope that long before that time the Dunes National park will be a people's playground, dedicated to public recreation forever. --- To inspect our stock of Gas Stoves, Water Heaters, Electric Washing Machines, Vacuum Cleaners and Toasters.

These materials are gorgeous in themselves and therefore adapted to the present styles in evening dress, which depends upon graceful draping of the figure and not upon embellishments for interest. It is beauty of fabric and beauty of lines that must hold the attention. Sometimes, in the simpler models, the drapery suggests the ease and flowing lines of the classic Greek garments, and sometimes a single piece of material appears to be wrapped about the figure, with a long boose end forming a train. But an artist in draping may use material more freely than is indicated in either of these styles so long as he knows how to use drapery to glorify the figure. The corsage is usually plain and flat at the front and held in place by narrow shoulder straps. It follows the lines of the corsetless figure very closely here and does not concern itself with covering much of the back. Gowns of this kind, cut in Paris Launches Launches New Silhouet Paris Launches New Silhouette THE WEEKLY PRESS The tunic skirt and the straight line, and the chemise dress have had a long reign. But now they bid fair to be displaced, beautiful as they are, by fitted lines, the full hip and skirt, pannier and other draperies that look to the period of Louis XV for inspiration, and to the time of the Second Empire. Changes in styles from present lines to those for fall promise to be radical. They are in the experimental stage just now; but designers are drawing upon many sources and times for ideas and presenting entirely new creations that have many allurements besides that of newness, to compel success for them. The Directoire influence is the dominant feature in the odd costume for afternoon, pictured above. It has a plain skirt made of fibre silk apparently in an irregular brocaded pattern, and—yes—a redingote of satin entirely covered with a scroll pattern of silk --- --- VENING S AND OTHERS step length or a little shorter, in peacock shades or jade green and in the regulation evening shades, worn with satin slippers and silk hose to match are likely to out-shine any rivals. The draped satin gown in the picture is one of those in which the material seems to be wrapped about the figure and to end in a short train. It is of white satin with a drapery of tulle on one shoulder that falls almost to the ankles, from the other shoulder strands of beads fall in long loops and there is a trailing spray of silver roses at the back to finish up the splendor. The pretty dress of turquoise georgette crope shown in company with this gorgeous evening gown, does not aspire to rival it. Yet it might appear at the same function and prove as pleasing. Not every woman can carry off magnificence, and times have so changed that many fine ladies have no longer much use for it. The simpler, fine-grained things suit them better; so they choose that which fits personality and do not attempt to play a role that does not please them. New Silhouette cord. It is long since the redingote flourished, but here it is, pure and simple as to hue and complex as to finish. The flaring line at the sides and the collar as shown here appear in suit coats in which the original style is closely followed. Unlike its prototype, the overgarment pictured fastens on the shoulder and underarm seam and a heavy silk cord is looped about the waist. This is merely for ornament, as it does not influence the semi-fitted lines in any way. The sleeves show a departure from the style of the Directoire coat in a wide flare at the hand and they are faced with satin in white or a light color. Brown, in many shades, is a favorite color for fall dresses. Directoire red is another and soft shades of olive or jade green. Julie Bittonley THE STAR HAIR GROWER One thousand agents wanted.

DE REEF 47 BALKEN LANE BALKEN LANE BALKEN LANE IF WE MUST DIE BLADELETS. IDIOSYNCRASIES ST. BENEDICT THE MOOR SCHOOL GRADUATES GIVE PLAY. The Colored children of St. Benedict the Moor school have become famous as singers and actors in the city of Milwaukee and surrounding towns. They have not only received the applause and appreciation of their many large audiences, but they have also received great praise from newspaper critics. The Racine Times-Call says: "The bill which they put on at Guild hall yesterday afternoon and evening in Racine was worthy of comparison with most of the popular vaudeville of the day, and each child showed the result of careful and efficient training." The proceeds of this play will be used to enlarge their church and school, which was established six years ago at 305 Ninth street, for the benefit of colored children who would otherwise find it very hard to get an education. This school is under the supervision of Father Stephen and the Notre Dame Sisters. Father Stephen takes a keen interest in that particular kind of missionary work, and is, by nature, a very kind and affectionate priest. On Friday evening, June 27, the school was closed up for the summer season and Father Stephen was bombarded with requests of the children from all sides. "Father, can I go to Chicago tonight?" "How can I get my baggage to the station, Father?" Oh, Father have you any place for me to spend my vacation?" And every one of these bright looking children were sent away wearing a happy smile and assured by their guardian and priest that they will reach their friends or some kind Catholic people caring their vacation—The Catholic Citizen mother, in spite of her great love for it, took it to a place where babies can be had for the asking and exchanged it for one more to her liking, and returned home in the consciousness of a duty well done. Down in Texas, a Colored man and white woman, both single, were suspected and accused of undue friendliness toward each other. The woman admitted it and declared her love for the man whom she would marry if the law permitted. In order to vindicate the supremacy of the white race, the man was lynched and an attempt made to have the woman declared insane. A colored school teacher sending the account to a race paper, war by the whites upon all Negroes of Long View was declared. McRae is in Telfair County, Ga. Several young white gentlemen (?) invaded the Negro quarters and sought to force their attentions upon two Colored girls. The girls run from them to the protection of an aged Colored man, 72 years of age. In the attack which followed, this old man, defending his own life and the honor of his two girls, killed one of the white "gentlemen," and gave himself up to the authorities. A mob of ten persons then overpowered (?) the county authorities and lynched the old man. The good (?) citizens of the county, deploring the act, pledged themselves to conceal the fact from the outside world. Out in Omaha a white girl of respectable family married a white man of her own circle, and lived happily thereafter—until, in the natural course, a child came to bless their union. Instead of a blessing it proved a curse because the father, noting the black hair, brown eyes and olive complexion, accused the mother of having Colored blood in her veins. As the laws of Nebraska prohibit the intermarriage of white and Colored persons, he had a ready recourse to the courts for an annulment of the marriage. In the meanwhile, the babe—his flesh and blood, continues to coo like an ordinary white or black baby, wholly unconscious of the dark tragedy which has come into its young life. And all of these things happened in less than a year after white and black Americans had mingled their hearts blood in what has been declared a successful effort to make the world safe for democracy. Sincerity thou art a jewel! Of course, these mob excesses at Washington are seen in their true proportion in this country; bad enough and disgraceful enough, but local and superficial as compared with the deep-seated political and social diseases of Europe. But it must be excessively unpleasant and mortifying for the president to come home after his evangelistic tours and exhortations for the improvement of benighted Europe only to find rival mobs of his own fellow citizens at each other's throats in his own political diocese, so to speak. (Portland (Ore.) Advocate.) Why is not the white man willing to take the Negro into court instead of rioting against Negroes in the street? The court is all white. The court is where the white man is sure to win, if he deserves to win. The court is the most dangerous place in the United States for a guilty Negro—and is not very safe for an innocent black person. I never understood the logic of the white side of such a riot. Crime is a matter of the individual, not of the mass. If an individual Negro insults a white woman, it is that individual who must be punished, not any man of black skin whom a mob takes a notion to go after. And if white men, singly or in groups, attack or injure Negroes, or undertake to punish even a criminal Negro without due process of law, then even the federal power itself should be called into play, if need be, to discover those individual white offenders and make them legally amenable. Governor Bilboe of Mississippi states that there is "no room in Mississippi for Colored ladies and gentlemen, but that there is ample room for 'niggers.' From our knowledge of Mississippi and the Governor, himself, we take him to be the biggest "nigger" in the State. The race riots which have been going on for days in the capital of this nation must make interesting reading for the people of Europe, who look upon us, or at least our administration, as the bodyguard of democracy and the battlers for oppressed peoples. If they have accepted all that our spokesmen have said at its word value, they cannot be but puzzled that such things could be under the very eye of democracy's leader. If the world is to be made safe for democracy by the United States, democracy cannot very well hunt "niggers" on the streets of our capital, at least without setting the rest of the world a bad example. Following the race riot at Chicago, press dispatches from many cities state that the police issued orders to pawnshops to stop selling firearms and ammunition to Negroes, while the whites buy unmolested. Such orders are not right nor just for it is a well known fact that whites always start the riots, they are the aggressors, then why arm them and disarm the Negro? Right must prevail.

LIEUT. HENRY E. DUNN SAILS FOR THE STATES — REPRESENTED THE BLADE IN FRANCE. August 5th, 1919. Dear Josey: I have been in Brest, the great French port, for the past five weeks. Thousands of our boys have passed through on their way to the States. It has been the pleasure of my life to work with them. Today I go to Paris to make final arrangements for my return to America. I am enclosing you check covering payments on the last two batches of papers sent. My extreme regret has been that the mail service was such that made it impossible for us to receive more than about one package in five. The fault was not at all yours. You did your part and your boys'. In the name of the thousands of boys benefited I thank you. This letter, begun in Brest, is being completed in Paris. I leave tonight, August 8th, for the United States. Allowing for a brief stop in England, I, with a party of twenty others, ought to reach New York by August 25. We have seen the last of our boys finish their work and prepare to sail. Some will not speak in the highest praise for treatment received at the hands of their countrymen, but all will be glad to return again to dear old U. S. A. My pen is on strike today. I must close. Very sincerely. HENRY E. DUNN. SCISSORED THOUGHTS. (Milwaukee Sentinel) (Portland (Ore.) Advocate) (Christian Science Monitor ) (St. Louis Independent-Clarion ) (Seattle Post-Intellegencer.) (St. Louis Argus.) Dear Josey: AGAINST WAGES FOR WIVES Gathering of Women R'idicule the Idea, Labeling It as "Commercializing the Home." Wages for wives were turned down by an audience largely of women here the other night after a debate on whether husbands should be required to pay such wages, says the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. One speaker drew a dismal picture of the future of romance with wives working for wives. "Iimagine a scene like this," he said: "Honey, do you love me?" "Of course I love you." "Then will you marry me?" "Well, maybe. How much do you pay?" "Suppose the wives were to join the soviet of waiters-up and charge triple wages for waiting up nights for husbands," he said. "Iimagine a wife going into society and being labeled a $15-a-week wife. A woman can take a last-year hat and make it look like new. But when she signed a contract for $15 a week there would be no hiding it from the neighbors." Another speaker pleaded that "woman shall not be brought down from her pedestal as a queen and made a mere employee of man." In depicting the future of romance under the wage system he said the marriage ceremony would have to be revised to read: "With this ring I hire thee, and will pay thee $15 a week by the aid of the world, the flesh and the devil." Notices like the following he predicted would be published: "Married—John Brown and Mary Smith, by Rev. Russell H. Conwell. They will live in Logan and the wife's wages will be $15 a week." Scenes like the following in court were forecast: "Judge, he hired me for $20 a week and he is now two weeks overdue in my pay. I'm going to get a new boss." LOOKING AHEAD A FEW YEARS Remarks That Will Be Merely Ordinary When the Blimp Has Been Finally Perfected. Augustus Tolliver, the soap king, strode wrathfully out of his stateroom aboard the blimp and seized the arm of the porter. "Idiot!" he roared, "why didn't you give me a call this morning? I told you I had to be in London for a director's meeting at 9 a. m. sharp, and now London is Lord knews how many thousands of miles in our rear." "Ah pounded on yo' door, boss, but yo' refuses to waken," replied the porter. "Jest passed over St. Louis, boss; well be back in N'Yawk at 12:05." "Oh! well," said Tolliver, "I can attend that 12:30 meeting of the soap powder people and catch the 1:30 blimp for London." Rat Skins for Leather. The suggestion has been made that the rat problem might be best solved by making use of the skins of the rodents for the purpose of leather. Somebody with the gift of guessing computes that there are 10,000,000 in this country, and the damage they do would feed a goods-sized army. It would take at least 5,000 skins a day to supply a small modern tannery. Nobody wants the rats, they belong to anybody that can catch them. That is the problem—to catch them, and then deliver the goods. There is not enough leather to go around. Fish skins are susceptible of tanning, and there are rat skins which make good leather, large enough for many purposes. Cure for Poison Ivy. Mrs. Evelyn S. Trennath, wife of the Rev. Robert W. Trennath, rector of St. James's Episcopal church of Montclair, N. J., has conferred a boon on sufferers from poison ivy by announcing a remedy which those who have tried it say is a most efficacious remedy. It is simply the green leaves of common catnip rubbed on the affected parts until the juice runs. This never fails, Mrs. Trennath says, no matter how advanced the case may be, and is simple to use, especially in the case of children. The plant grows usually in great abundance behind old barns, and is said to be so antagonistic to the ivy that if planted near it the ivy disappears. Volcano That Emits Lava. The following is reported by an observer in Hawaii: Tremendous changes are in progress at Kilauea, and there is no indication whatsoever of any cessation of the monumental rising of the entire vast lava column. Over the southwest brink a wide stream of glistening lava is sluggishly flowing in the direction of the Kalu desert, not with the spectacular cascading torrents of the southeastern flows of last March, but with a steady, stealthy gliding, which gains ground slowly at its base, but which piles up into tremendous masses from its source forward. Dry Lead for Batteries A dry battery utilizing red lead, instead of the usual manganese compound, has been patented by H. Czanyi. It is claimed that the red lead battery lasts longer than the type now in vogue, may be kept inactive for months without any deterioration and may be recharged at least ten times, with each recharge as efficient as any present battery.

Willy Ferrero, 13, who leads 100-piece orchestras in selections of Wagner, Beethoven, Rossini, Grieg and others, is an American and was born in Portland, Me. The child has attracted the attention of Europe since he was 4 years old, but it was only recently that his American birth was revealed by his parents, who are Italians. The lad was taken to Italy whither his parents were returning to take up their residence in their old home in Turin. When Willy was 4 he began his musical career, leading an orchestra in the Folies Bergere in Paris. A year later he appeared in the Costanza theater, Rome, where for the first time he led an orchestra of 100 pieces. The child took his orchestra before Emperor Nicholas in 1913 and conducted two concerts for the monarch. In the same year his orchestra was filling an engagement in London, and he was commanded to appear before Queen Alexandra at Marlborough house. He appeared before Pope Benedict XV in 1916. In April, 1915, just before Italy's declaration of war, Willy was presented with the gold medal by the Italian minister of education after he had made a successful appearance in the Augusteum, where he had conducted an orchestra and chorus aggregating 500 participants. NATIONAL HEROES OF FRANCE Lazare Hoche and Ferdinand Foch Are Names to Be Forever Held in Grateful Memory. Marshal Foch is taking a particular satisfaction at this time of the consumption of a great victory to pay homage to the fame of Lazare Hoche, the famous young general who escaped the Revolutionary guillotine eventually to command that army of the Sambre-et-Meuse which, though at first disorganized, badly fed and badly equipped, performed the brilliant seven months' campaign which established the reputation of French arms on both sides of the Rhine. To this day at Weissenthurm stands a monument to its memory and that of its brilliant young chief. No wonder Marshal Foch takes pleasure in recalling Lazare Hoche to his countrymen. Of Hoche it is said that he once proudly wrote to the minister for war of his day, "Je suis la patrie." The French of the present century would throw up their hats at such a sentiment as enthusiastically as the contemporaries of Hoche and Rouget de Lisle. With the great mass of them, though they do not perhaps express it so tersely, Foch is "la patrie" in the sense that he certainly stands for them as "la Victoire" personified.

More serious than her awkwardness is the eventual injury to her health. For in the effort to preserve her equilibrium the shoulders are thrown forward, depressing the chest; breathing is interfered with, and that means poorer blood and a final decrease in vitality. This comes gradually, but it is inevitable when a woman persists in wearing very high heels. Her heels should conform to the arch if her instep."—Exchange. Use for Surplus Munitions. An interesting suggestion has been made by a prominent Swiss meteorologist and physicist, M. de Quervain of Zurich, to the effect that the vast stores of munitions collected in the belligerent countries during the last four years be utilized to advance the cause of science instead of being merely fired off to make a Roman holiday, or else sunk in deep waters to avoid the latex dings which reside in them. By detoning these explosives in definite quantities, at definite places, and at definite times whose dates are announced in advance, a possibility would be presented for the solution of many interesting problems in physics and meteorology. The project might advantageously be carried out in this country. Cryptic Cable. For smartness the following will be hard to beat: A well-known personage in Devonshire, England, received a cable from his soldier son in Mesopotamia containing only three words: "Two John twelve." After much puzzling the meaning dawned upon him. Taking down his Bible he turned up the Second Epistle of St. John and read the twelfth verse, which runs as follows: "Having many things to write unto you, I would not write with paper and ink, but I trust to come unto you and speak face to face, that our joy may be full." His son was on his way home to England. Bridegroom Grows in Importance. The war has given the bridegroom a significance he never before possessed.

The canne baronet has led an active and varied life, has broken two legs, has been blown 50 feet from a navigation bridge to the deck without injury, has been run over by a "diviver" whose owner narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of incensed sailors, has saved his master's life, and has performed splendid service as lookout on board ship and as spy-hunter ashore during the war. During the war Sir Peter served on vessels of all types and was considered a splendid sailor till he went aboard a tiny mine sweeper, the U. S. S. Dahlgren. The Dahlgren had a roll all its own, and a saddened Peter joined the other rookies at the rail. Only once has he been known to lose his nerve. During a terrific storm, while he was on the U. S. S. Virginia, he was attacked by a steel safe and a perambulating piano. With a flight of fright at these unholy phenomena, he hid his head under a blanket. Sir Peter knows all the bugle calls aboard ship. But how he hated the general alarm for battle stations! He knew the firing signals and each would cause him to tremble until the detonation of the broadside. At "cease firing" he was a different being, glad to be alive.

The marriage was declared null and void. But the friends of the two got busy, and even the smug tory London paper, the Globe, printed a stinging leader declaring that the action of the Edinburgh authorities was insulting and a blot on the fair page of Anglo-American relations.

His sort of entertaining young man Hot Springs Hiles eloped with a Gloucester girl. They arrived in Edinburgh only to find that residence of 21 days in Scotland was necessary before the ceremony could be performed. The lieutenant and his fiancee were naturally considerably perplexed, not knowing any one in Edinburgh. Then Lieutenant Hiles conceived the brilliant idea of bribing two hotel porters to swear they had been living in Scotland 21 days, and the first marriage was performed. The lieutenant and Mrs. Hiles prepared to return to America but in the meantime the trivial matter of stern officers of the law arrested Hiles and him back to Edinburgh, where he was sent. The marriage was declared null and void. But the friends of the two got busy, and the Globe, printed a stinging leader declaring authorities was insulting and a blot on relations. Mr. Secretary for Scotland consented to being performed. After the wedding the terrifying gov- announce that the said Mr. Secretary had at the Denver navy recruiting station.

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE NEEDED IN BUSINESS WORLD Urgent Reasons for Transplanting Returned Soldiers From Army to Civil Life Without Delay. Your cosmopolitan doughtboy who has shaken hands with the king of England, danced with the princess of Romania, learned the slang of a dozen nations and cocked a knowing eye at all the choicest sights of the Continent, may sound extremely sophisticated by cable, but wait until he strikes the United States and see what furriin travel has done for him! It has made him love, not Europe less, but home more, and he hardly tries to conceal his grand passion under a poker face, either. For he has been homesick and weary for months, and the Goddess of Liberty looks like an angel, and New York harbor like heaven, to his fond eyes. As a national asset, then, the soldier is perhaps our best citizen, and because the A. E. F. as a whole is rampantly enthusiastic about its homeland and her interests, America may look to her soldiers for real inspiration in citizenship. These are the men to put into our business life as rapidly as they can be transplanted from army to civil jobs. To make the transposition more simple and effective, the war department through Col. Arthur Woods, assistant to the secretary of war, has set up the wheels of a giant machine, which is working night and day to co-operate with all employment agencies for the sake of the returned soldier who has no job. But more than that, this great employment system operates for the good of America. Colonel Woods and his thousands of assisting committees believe in the dongbiyou and in his power of real achievement in the future national life of the United States. Fine Memorial to Edith Cavell Fine Memorial to Edith Cavell. In a quarry, midway between Bodwin and Camelford, on the moors of North Cornwall, England, a memorial is being fashioned out of granite in memory of Nurse Cavell. One of the huge pieces is nearing completion under the guidance of Sir George Frampton, who is giving his services free. This figure represents a woman with arms half upraised, holding a little child on her lap, while underneath, on the base of the monument, is carved a cross. The group is symbolical of the stronger nations protecting the smaller and weaker ones, while the cross is the emblem of mercy. The whole group is carved in the form of a cross, giving special significance to the order to which Nurse Cavell belonged. Another huge block of granite near by has a big lion carved on it, with head erect and mane bristling. Trampled beneath its feet is a serpent, writhing, but defeated. The total weight of the memorial, when finished, will be about 170 tons, with a height of about 40 feet. The group probably will be erected near the British National gallery. Tasting With the Nose. The sensation of taste, while of common and constant experience, is highly complicated in its nature. What is commonly called taste is not a simple sensation at all, but rather a complex. In addition to the actual functioning of the apparatus properly pertaining to the sense of taste, the tongue receives impressions of various other sorts, all of which go to make up this complex. As finally recorded in the Consciousness, the taste of any substance has to do with its heat or coolness, perhaps with a mild amount of pain, certainly with astringency or acidity—which are in themselves further complexes of thermic and tactile sensations—and above all with smell. The reader will probably agree that ice cream and coffee are entirely different from their true selves when served at inappropriate temperatures; and it is a matter of record that a person of the keenest taste may make the most ludicrous errors if asked, blind-faced and with his nose stopped to identify substances placed in his mouth. Famed Rest of Noted Men. The Diamond bar, famous for nearly 50 years as a part of the old Auzerals house, of San Jose, Cal., is being fitted up for a grocery store. The Auzerals house, on West Santa Clara street, housed five presidents of the United States and was for a time the abode of a king. It was built in 1863, according to John E. Auzerals of San Jose, and the barroom was the meeting place for many of the men whose names have been written into the history of California. President Grant was entertained at a banquet in the Auzerals house in 1879. The following spring King Kakaban of Hawaii was a guest, and in September of the same year President Hayes delivered an address from the balcony. President Harrison was a guest in 1891 and both McKinley and Roosevelt visited the famous old hotel on their tours of the United States. Her Part. The physician had diagnosed the young woman's case and was compounding for her a bottle of medicine. He put two or three drugs into the bottle and then took up a jar of pepsin. The jar was almost empty and there was not enough pepsin to finish filling the patient's bottle. The physician looked around for another jar. He didn't find one, however. For a minute he was frankly perplexed, and then came sudden relief. He turned to the faucet and finished filling the bottle with water. "Oh," the young woman's voice was very cool, "you needn't have done that. I can put in the water myself." STUDYING NIGHTS When the Cardinals were doing their spring training Branch Rickey noticed that Austin McHenry, in stealing a base, was prone to go into the bag with the wrong foot, and thus slide three feet further than necessary. Calling McHenry to him Rickey asked: "Austin, what is the first rule of plane geometry?" "I don't know nothing about geometry, sir," was the reply. "Well, then, Till tell you," rejoined Rickey, "it is that the shortest distance between two points may be accomplished by a straight line. You ignore that rule in sliding to bases and travel an excess distance of three feet on every slide, so that when you have stolen 30 bases you really will have stolen 31, though you won't get credit for the extra base. Just apply a little geometry to your base stealing and you will get better results with less effort." "Yes, sir," answered McHenry, too dazed to say anything else. WOULD PUT STOP TO ROWDYISM ON FIELD WOULD PUT STOP TO ROWDYISM ON FIELD President Heydler Would Stamp Out Umpire Baiting. Considers His Group of Arbiters Efficient Men and Intends to Back Them to Limit—Players Are Given Warning. President Heydler of the National league in an interview announced that he would not stand for umpire baiting or rowdyism on the ball field. He attended a game between the Cardinals and Giants on the Polo grounds, where it is claimed certain Cardinal players behaved in a disgraceful manner. Heydler said: "Baseball is too great a game to permit such tactics as certain players have employed in recent games to show their dissatisfaction over decisions by umpires. I do not contend that the umpires always are correct. It would be humanly impossible for them always to give the right decisions. But it is safe to say they are right ninety-nine times out of a hundred. Even if a player differs with an umpire over a decision it behooves him to recognize the authority of the official instead of indulging in disorderly conduct. "Baseball is a clean game. Spirit is essential, of course. Rivalry makes © Western Newspaper Union President Heydler. for faster competition. But spirit and rivalry must not be mistaken for guttersnipe tactics such as throwing handfuls of dirt at umpires and cursing, as some players have done. The fans in the stands—that is, a big majority of them—certainly do not approve of misconduct such as that. "I consider the National league umpires a group of efficient men, and intend to back them to the limit. Players who persist in breaking the rules by misconduct on the field will be severely dealt with. Let this serve as a warning to them." BRAINARD IS BACK FROM WAR Former University of Illinois Star and Later With Giants to Re-center Professional Ball. Lieut. Fred Brainard, former University of Illinois baseball star and later with the New York Giants, has returned from overseas service and expects to re-center professional ball. He has been sent to Oakland of the Pacific Coast league. While in France Lieutenant Brainard was in charge of the baseball of his division.

"But he says he has something im- portant to say," protested the snub- nosed little office girl. "Anyhow, Miss Peterson, he's been here three times today, and if you don't see him now he'll just keep on coming." Miss Peterson seemed absurdly small for the large swivel chair in which she sat and, as you looked closely, absurdly young for the ponderous rolltop desk before her. Then, if you had looked again you would have wished that, because she was so young and petite, she might have had enough sunshine and fresh air in her days to put a little more color in her cheeks and a little more life in those blue, eyes that obviously were meant to be more sparkling than they were "Did you ask him to write it?" she asked wearily. "Yes, but he says it's important," reiterated the girl. "If it's important, Peg," explained Jane Peterson, who had a way of explaining things to the indefatigable little office girl, "if it's very important he had better write it, because I can write so much better than I can talk, and I might have to make some important answer, and if I had to say it, I wouldn't know how, Peg," she went on, dipping her pen in ink in order that she might go on signing the letters that lay before her, and then regarding the point of the pen almost affectionately. "It seems as if I could write almost anything, but when it comes to saying them I'm stumped." "Then I'll tell him to come in?" "Yes," and there was resignation and weariness in the tone. "But Peg," and Jane showed more interest, "what does he look like? Do you suppose he wants to sell a history of Napoleon on installments or to get me to have my life insured?" "He is no agent," announced Peg, loyally. "And he doesn't look like the people you see around here. He's big and just a little rough looking. Just a little like the movie actors when they are fixed up to look like cattle rangers or something. Not the way he's dressed, but the way he walks and the look of his face." "Well, send him in," and Jane agailapsed into resignation and weariness. Thus Peter Trevis was ushered into the office of Jane Peterson, and Peggy closed the door as she went out of the room, although it usually stood open. If he had something really important to say, reasoned the romantic Peggy, maybe it was to propose, and she was sure he wouldn't want to have the whole outside office hear it. But Peter Trevis did not want to propose—at least he didn't want to propose marriage. With considerable abruptness he got down to the business in hand and to begin with produced a creased and well-worn sheet torn from one of the popular agricultural publications. He spread it out on the slide of Jane's desk, and Jane blushed as she beheld the words, in display type, of one of her own compositions. "Increase your income 100 per cent," were the words of the first line and then more words of an equally custorial nature, assuring the farmer or ranchman that by learning how to use a typewriter and how to write competing business letters he could, in spare minutes double his income. All that was necessary was to buy a typewriter, which he was assured he could learn to operate within a few weeks by "our new lightning method," and take a course of fifty lessons in "forceful letter writing," and the purchase and use for future reference of some dozen or so books on business and business English, any one of which would be worth the price of the entire course. "You wrote that, didn't you?" demanded Peter, becoming aware, as did all who entered Jane's sanctum, that she really was too small and too young for the heavy oak furniture. "Yes," she faltered, and then groped in her mind for something to say. For Jane was not gibl, when it came to talking. "Well, I want to tell you that I've come all the way from Oregon just to meet you and show you that and to say to you, just as I did now: 'You wrote that, didn't you?' I didn't write to tell you because I can talk better than I can write. Now, what are you going to say?" "I don't believe I am going to say anything," faltered Jane, feeling extremely uncomfortable. "Nothing? You aren't going to defend yourself or explain or anything? Out there in Oregon I own and operate a rather sizeable prune ranch, and there are enough trees on that place so that in a few years, if they are properly marketed, I could buy out—why I could buy out this entire plant." He waved his hand rather scornfully toward the surrounding offices of the Union Correspondence school. "The trouble is, just running that place is enough to keep one man busy, and I didn't want, to take the chances with a partner to take the business end of it. The result is that I haven't marketed my prunes to the best advantage. I read that darned advertisement of yours, and I felt for it and was convinced that I could do what you I could. So I bought the whole outfit and began the lessons." "But I wrote only the advertisement," protested Jane. "I had nothing to do with the course. You see, I write all the advertisements from points suggested by the people that get out the different courses." "Yes, but it was that advertisement," said the prune grower, wagging his finger threateningly at the sheet that was stretched before them. "It was that advertisement that persuaded me to do it. Well, I thumped that typewriter every night for a month and, honest, I can't do a thing with it, and I read the books and took the lessons and when it comes to writing forceful sales letters I'm just where I always was." "Well?" queried Jane, feeling that the worst of the storm was over. "Only this," went on Peter. "That when I got thoroughly disgusted and woke up to the fact that I'd been buncoed, I just made up my mind that I'd come East, if it cost me a thousand dollars, just to lambaste the fellow that wrote that advertisement and buncoed me. I had got as far as Chicago when I saw things a little differently." "Then you aren't going to lambaste me?" And Jane managed to laugh a little, but Peter went on without heeding the interruption. "It came over me all of a sudden there in Chicago that if the fellow that wrote that advertisement could make me buy that typewriter and take that course when I'd never been buncoed before, why he could write letters that would sell my prune crop for the biggest money. He could take the sales end of the business and it would pay to offer him a good salary. So I had a different motive after I left Chicago." "Now, I suppose you are vexed with me because I'm not a man," suggested Jane. "I hadn't quite thought things out yet," he informed her. "I didn't know until just now that it was a girl. That never occurred to me. The youngster out there didn't tell me. I just showed her the advertisement and said I wanted to see the fellow that wrote it, and she said I wanted to see the ad writer and the ad writer was too busy, and so I kept coming until this time she let me in." There was quite an awkward silence and then their eyes met—Jane's and Peter's—and Jane said: "I'm sorry," and Peter asked her why. "Because I feel as if I'd got you all the way from Oregon and now you can't *lambaste* me—it wouldn't be fair, when you are so big and I'm so little—and you can't take me back as your business manager either." Peter assured her that she need not feel guilty, because as it happened, he had been able to put over a deal in some land he owned in Oregon that would mean many times what the trip East had cost—a deal that he could not possibly have managed by letter. Then Peter looked at Jane sitting there in the big chair and told her he was lonely in the strange city and asked her to have dinner with him. Jane refused by inviting him to have dinner with her at her brother's apartment, where she made her home. Peter spent only a week in the Eastern city of correspondence schools, but if he had spent a year he would have been no surer that Jane was the one girl in the world with whom he wished to share the fortune that is sure to come to him from his prune ranch. Now he has gone back to see about having a rather gorgeous house built for his bride in place of the brak cabin of his bachelor days. COUNTRY OF MANY WONDERS Description of Marvels of Madagascar Worthy Only of Pena in Hands of Genius. Madagascar, the great African island, at certain altitudes on her plateaus, permits the European visitor the enjoyment and the surprise of picking a strawberry or a peach. Madagascar is the land of marvelous contrasts and of immensely long names. The royal city, Tananarive, also known as Antananarive, has an ancient palace, Manampisoa, and another native wooden structure, Andrianampoimmerina. The city has a park, Ambohijatovo, a fortress built on a hill, Ambohijanaharu, and a prime minister, Rainailairlvoun. The traveler describing Madagascar in the pages of the Anglo-French Review scatters African names up and down his pages with a wonderfully exotic effect. To African sounds he adds delicate touches of African color. The flowers of Tananarive excite his admiration, and no wonder! The roadside hedges are of blace, mimosa, and wild rose, Lake Irasy, with its green banks and its surrounding mountains, affords the contrast of the monstrous alligator and the lovely gracefulness of the egret, or the long rose wings of the flamingo. Under its surface, eels, in the shimmering of the water, turn red or black according to the color variations of the lake bottom. This strange land of the Hovas is Africa.

"Who is the man?" "I don't know, sir." "He must be a madman," exclaimed the comedian. "Has he got his faculties about him?" "I-I-I-I I think not, xir," stammered the maid. "He's got something tied up in a red handkerchief." THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE pen All Nig Open All Night Open All Night 1930 High Class Second Hand Clothing for Men, Women and Children.

It is not at all uncommon for the dead bodies of Chinese infants to be cast away, instead of being buried. The charitable explanation is that this is done to save burial expenses. The true reason, however, is said to be the deeprooted superstitions belief among them that the death of a baby arises out of punishment to its soul for sins committed in a previous state of existence. It is an accursed creature, whose coffin no one will follow. It is therefore, a common sight in China to see dying babies had down by the roadside to breathe their last. The parents will not allow them to die in the house, the belief being that infants, after their death, account wicked spirits. To allow them to die under the parents' roof will being nothing but evil upon the family. Fishing for Diamonds There is a theory that diamonds sometimes fell from the sky, and now it is thought that they may also be found in the sea. Men have had to go to the depths of the sea for diamonds, but up to the present diamonds have been mined from the ground. In south-west Africa, however, where the Germans used to pick up diamonds along the shore, men are now beginning to fish in the sea for these precious stones. In the course of centuries the heavy rain has washed large quantities of loose earth off the coast into the ocean, and some of the best diamond deposits have been washed away. A diamond company is now sending ships to dredge the mud off the coast, in the hope of fishing up millions of lost diamonds.

VOTE TREATY CHANGES VOTE TREATY CHANGES Senators Urge Refusal to Help Reconstruct Europe. Another Amendment Would Affect Score of Commissions and Change Language of Pact in 50 Places. Washington, Aug. 27.—In quick succession the senate foreign relations committee approved a series of amendments to the peace treaty eliminating the United States as one of the powers represented on international commissions created to supervise reconstruction in Europe. The vote on the successive amendments was 9 to 7. The committee divided on party lines, all the Democrats voting in the negative Senator McCumber (Rep.) of North Dakota, who voted with the Democrats against the Shantung amendment Saturday, was not present. The first amendment approved eliminated the United States from membership on the international commission which will determine the boundary between Germany and Belgium. All were presented by Senator Fall of New Mexico. The reparations commission and such others as are to be appointed by the League of Nations, are apparently excepted from the blanket resolution into which Senator Fall's amendments were combined. The change would affect about a scare of commissions and would change the language of the treaty in more than fifty places. On the Green Diamond # NATIONAL LEAGUE Club Won.

Cincinnati, Aug. 27.—Recurrence of influenza in epidemic form this fall is unlikely, said Health Officer William H. Peters of Cincinnati, taking issue with Dr. Royal S. Copeland, New York health commissioner. The state and nation has been "pretty well immunized by the disease last fall and winter," said Dr. Peters. "Epidemics of such character as a rule do not strike twice in the same place," he said.

THE WISCONSIN WEEKLY BLADE MONDELL URGES FARMS MONDELL URGES FARMS Republican House Leader Outlines Provisions of His Bill. Seeks Permanent Benefits for Yank— Cold Calculation of Patriotism Repugnant, He Says. Washington, Aug. 27—Republican Leader Mondell outlined to the house the provisions of his bill embodying Secretary Lane's project for farms for soldiers and sailors. He said the measure had the support of soldiers and labor organizations and should be enacted without delay. Opposition, Mr. Mondell said, has its origin largely in the assumption that legislation should benefit soldiers of the Spanish and Civil wars as well as those of the great war. "Payment of a paltry bonus to discharged soldiers is not in keeping with the dignity of this country," said the speaker. "The idea that every valiant young American, rich or poor, is to have the sum of his patriotism coldly calculated and doled out in a way that would be of little permanent value to him is so repugnant to every thinking person, soldier or civilian, that it is not entitled to serious consideration, and yet it has been urged as a substitute for a sound measure of opportunity and development such as we have before us." He said he opposed the measure because it was "camouflaging an apparent help to all soldiers to benefit comparatively few." STORAGE FOWL KILLS YANK Ohio Colonel, Just Returned From France, and Woman Dead of Poisoning. Alliance, O., Aug. 27.—Charles C. Weybrecht, who returned only three weeks ago from France, where he commanded the One Hundred and Forty-Sixth infantry, died here as a result, physicians believe, of eating cold storage turkey at a dinner at the Lakeside Country club, Canton. Mrs. Helen Sebring Gahris, thirty-three, wife of William I. Gahris of Sebring, O., also is dead, and Mr. and Mrs. John C. Sharer are paralyzed, and their recovery is said to be extremely doubtful. Specialists from Cleveland and Alliance were summoned here to attend the stricken persons. Coloney Weybrecht served two terms as adjutant general of Ohio. He was fifty years old. POULTRY RELEASED 'ON BOND' Armour & Co. Agree to Sell Storage Food Seized at Duluth by October 5. St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 27.—Judge Booth in the United States district court issued an order releasing 137,000 pounds of cold storage poultry belonging to Armour & Co., seized at Duluth last week. Armour & Co. agreed to furnish $2,000 bond for compliance with Judge Booth's order that the poultry be sold before October 5. Attorneys for Armour said that they feared if the poultry was withheld from consumers until the termination of the lbel proceedings brought by United States District attorney Jacques, great inconvenience would result both to the consumers and to the Armour firm.

MINERS WANT CONTROL MINERS WANT CONTROL Mine Operator Says the Coal Situation Is Bad. President H. N. Taylor of National Coal Association Says Miners Seek Nationalization. Washington, Aug. 27.—Nationalization of the coal mines is sought by many mine workers, and a bill to that end has been prepared, Harry N. Taylor, president of the National Coal association, testified before a senate committee investigating the coal situation. The plan is for the government to buy the mines and turn them over to the men for operation, Mr. Taylor said. Already many of the miners are demanding a six-hour day and a five-day week, he added. Referring to strikes at mines in Illinois, Kansas and Missouri, Mr. Taylor said a serious labor difficulty presented itself, and must be met unless the country is to suffer a severe shortage of coal during the coming winter. These strikes, he declared, were in violation of the agreement between the men and the fuel administration that there would be continuous operation of the mines until peace was declared. Mr. Taylor told the committee that if the ideas put into effect in certain localities were approved at the convention of mine workers on September 9 the problem of supplying the people with coal this winter would prove serious. A man picking slate is now paid $5 at many mines, Mr. Taylor said, while it is common for a miner to make $15 a day. All nationalities are represented in the mines, he said, many of them "good Americans." Aside from "a labor combine to force up the cost of production," Mr. Taylor said the operators faced a buying combine to force down the prices. U. S.

Colonel Baranca placed full credence in the report. The locality named is in an almost inaccessible country. The message said nothing of finding the airplane used by the airmen. SOVIET ACTIVE IN AMERICA Russian Reds Send Money to Stir Up Race Riots in the United States Washington, Aug. 27.—Russian soviet interests apparently are supplying funds for a propaganda to stir up race antagonism in the United States, according to information now in the hands of the department of justice. Officials of the department said that charges of an organized propaganda made in the house by Representative Ryrnes (Dema.) of South Carolina seemed to be well founded.
