ADJUSTMENTS
Art Theater.

Because things seen are mightier
than things heard, the moving picture
has become one of the most potent ed
vocational forces of modern times. 1t
presents to the popular eye, in the most
realistic and impressive form, not only
contemporaneous occurrences and per-
sonages, but it opens up the vast and
precious storehouses of the historical
and literary treasures of past and mod
ern times. and endows them with the
vitality and interest of real life. Books
and lectures can not convey these
events with the same vividness and in
dividuality. This does not imply that
the moving picture appeals only to an
inferior order of intelligence, for moth
ing could be farther from the truth,
as the fine audiences of intellectual
and cultivated people at the Art The
alter abundantly testify. All classes
of society find entertainment and in
struction in these chaste. refined and
eminently moral exhibitions, and they
always 60 away with wholesome i'm
pressions and with food for reflection.
The moving pictures are no less poten-
tlal in the business activities of life.
Dull monotony is metamorphosed into
energy and interest, and spirit and

Contrast the bfniiant lights and surg
ing crowds on Hotel street for the past
year or so with its dull, dark and de-
serted appearance before the picture
snow became part of our local life,
and the inference is irresistible that
these clean and innocent entertain
ments have wrought great good for
this city. The change gives the
stranger within our gates a clearer con-
ception of Honolulu and its people. as
well as a more favorable impression of
what we really are as community,
and it has certainly made life far more
enjoyable here.

HOW TO PREVENT BLOOD POISON

Carelessness and neglect are the
chief causes of blood poisoning. A cut
or bruise, however slight, should have
immediate attention. A good lnlment
and one that not only gives prompt
relief from pain, but being antlseptie'
heals the wound without maturation, IS
Chamberlain Pain Balm. When this
remedy is applied all danger from blood
poisoning is avoided. For sale at all

CITY PARKS

On another page in this issue will
be found a report submitted by the
City Park Commission to the Mayor
and City Council. The report should
be read carefully by every Negro in
Nashville, as it contains information
that will be of vast import to that
class of citizens who are not behefted
by the existence of these parks though
many of them are taxpayers. 1t will
be noticed that four parks have been
established which. all told, contain
one hundred and thirty actes of
ground; one in each of the four grand
divisions of the city. namely, north;
south, east and west. The report
states that the commission hopes to
be able to establish a large number
of Fairgrounds all over the city. 1t
is not definitely stated whether any
of those parks or Fairgrounds will be
established for Negroes; neither have
they been ordered not to go to the city
parks that have been open for some
time. But the Negroes OF Nashville
exercise r discretion in matters
generally. They have not frequented
these parks, consequently no com
plants have been registered. Further
more, they neither express desires nor
show inclinations to visit them. What
they want and deserve is that the city
set aside plots Of ground in those com,
munities where Negroes predominant
and build parks and Fairgrounds
where mothers can carry their chill
dren in sultry Summer evenings and
spend IN hour or so in quietude. AS
citizens and taxpayers they are en-
titled to their pro rata of the money
invested in parks and Fairgrounds.
The attention of the city authorities
should be called to this matter. The
thousands of Negro boys and girls Of
this city are of flesh and blood and are
subject to the conditions brought about
by lack of outdoor exercise. Places of
recreation in large communities do
more towards reducing death rates
than many health remedies suggested
to our people.

1t is earnestly hoped that the mon

mencement. "A mile of pennies for
Fisk" is the slogan and those who are
working for that amount know no
such word as fail. The program was
altogether musical, and was listened
to with much interest and pleasure,
AT roll call the members responded
with a line or stanza from one of
their favorite hymns or songs. The

MEHARRY COMMENCEMENT.

Next Sunday morning will witness
the beginning of the thirty-second
commencement of Meharry Medical
College, when the baccalaureate SER
mon will be preached to the gradual
ing classes. The number to receive
diplomas this year is the largest in
the history of the college, which
means that more communities will be
asked to support Negro doctors from
this school than in any single year
heretofore. These graduates go out
as representatives of Meharry Medical
College, and also the city of Nashville.
We hope for each individual abundant
success. We also hope they will not
forget their Alma Mater when things
go well with them. The record shows
that $50 have received diplomas from
this institution since it was estab-
lished in 1876. The majority of these
have succeeded as practitioners. Some
have accumulated considerable wealth
and are comfortably surrounded with
this worlds goods.
The dean of Meharry College is put
ting forth an effort to erect a hospital
in connection with the college. 1t
ought not to be a difficult thing to do.
The men who have been benefited by
the gift of the Meharry brothers, who
made it possible for Negroes to study
medicine in Nashville, can easily give
a sufficient amount to erect and fit up
the hospital, and we believe they will
gladly do so when they are informed of
the intentions of Dean Hubbard. They
owe it to him, to themselves and to
the citizens of Nashville, who have al
ways thrown open their doors to the
students of Meharry College.
