white club women high in. society

"Betterment of the Negroes here

the "Sermon to the Churches
preached from the sanctum OF the
Atlanta Constitution, paper that
seems bitten these days by the NIL
crobe of fair play. The colored
brethren are crying Preach

exclaiming "It's true. Let's see
what we can do.
''The voice of God," we say. 1t
was a voice from quite another
quarter that some three years ago
set the city rampant with blood
and lawlessness. But now the
needle has turned. Another voice
certainly whispers in the breast OF
those who stand at the helm.
Mastered everywhere by the
spirit of good will and of mutual
help. the members of these repre-

the first place we should provide
them better homes, better locations,
more grounds, better sanitation,

Thoroughly agreeing with Mrs.
White, Mrs. Hamilton Douglas
writes: "The great need of the Ne

she continues, cit is true that
Southern women have to share

general inattention in the South to

Mrs. Victor III. Kreigshaber
urges the South to follow the eX

coming from the North, know of
existing conditions there, where
the white people provide ways and

the North they have long since
realized that education and occu-

foresight in building schools and
colleges instead of jails and re-
formatories for the improvement
of the neglected race?"

Hon. Seaborn Wright, the evan

of white crime. "Crime," he de-
clares, "among the Negro popula-

turn around has taken place in the
headship of two important insti-

Up until a few days ego each had
colored man as its president.
For number of years Prof. w.

some reason it appears that the
trustees felt that the administra-

recent meeting of the board of
trustees it was decided to consoli-
date Clark University and Gam

 A great crowd had gathered at the aviation field. drawn by the hope Of seeing more records broken. The op- portunity of witnessing a flight by the famous woman aviator raised the en- thusiasm to a high pitch
 She set off in her biplane, confident and laughing. It was when at the height of 150 feet it became evident to the spectators something had gone wrong In few moments the crowds were turned from cheering enthusi- asm to horror-stricken multitude.
 The biplane. going at a terrific speed, suddenly seemed to halt; it appeared tossed on the wind. Then, while the driver could be seen to tug at levers. the machine fell, whirling and tossing.
 Tho crowd swarmed over the field in an instant and tho authorities had difficulty in clearing it. Finally a squad of infantrymen forced back the throng.
 A nasty examination of the bar oness was made and as soon as the extent Of her injuries was ascertalnei she was hurried to the field hospital.

 After dashing career as an auto. mobolist in the last few months, tho baroness came to the front as an aviator and earned name as one of the daring air pilots. She was the first woman to ascend alone in an aeroplane and the first to take up the sport.
 On her second flight, this daughter of historic house of France covered four miles. and immediately began planning more daring feats Her de. sire was to duplicate in the air the hardy things she had accomplished with the automobile
 On January last she was badly hurt. While whirling about the course at Pouy she failed to turn her biplane sharp enough and it went smashing into trees at the side of the field. She was picked up unconscious, her right shoulder dislocated and suf. fering from internal injuries. Her unusual recuperative powers brought her back to health.
