DR.. TH|RK|E[D POINTS TO
NEEDS OF NEGRO RACE
Appeals in Annual Report for
More Aid to Howard
University.

while the Rockefeller fund Of a
million dollars is available for the
eradication of the hookworm disease,
yet here is the negro race with tuber-
culosis. typhoid infection and other
diseases wiping out tens of thousands
and lowering the vitality and physical
efficiency of a race" says Rev. DR..
w. p. Thirkield, president of Howard
University. in his annual report to the
Secretary of the Interior. made public
today, and IN which he makes appeal
for greater aid from the government
for the work of the university.
cat the same time he continues,
their condition is a positive menace
to the white race, with which it is so
closely bound up. 1t is a question of
national interest. Here is a race.
multitudes Of whom are still the prey
of the voodoo doctors and conjure men
and given to patent nostrums. The
pressing need is for the training of
men for the instruction of the ignorant
and superstitious, men with scientific
knowledge and broad views of medi-
cine. men who can put medical knowl-
edge in simple form before the masses
and through preventive medicine raise
the vitality of a race that is being
decimated by disease.
Needs of the University.
In setting forth the needs of the
university DIR. Thirkield asks for a
new dormitory for young men. larger
assembly hall. He also emphasizes the
vital Importance of practical instruc-
ton in agriculture.
In describing the need for more
dormitorieS he says:
There has been no increase in dormi
tory accommodations since the original
buildings were erected, over forty years
ago. OF the nearly 1900 students
in attendance, four-fif of whom are
men. only one in five can be accom-
| modated in present dormitories.
"One of the pressing needs of the in
stitution is an assembly hall large enough
to at least seat the student body. The
only assembly hall of the university, with
| 1900 students, is the Rankin Memorial
Chapel, which was built especially for
| religious services, and seats only 6O0.'
Instructions in Agriculture.
Permit me- he continues, again to
emphasize the vital Importance Of prac-
| teal instruction in the science of agri-
culture. 1t is unfortunate that the cut
ting down of appropriations several years
ago led to the enforced dropping of reg
ular instruction in agriculture. With a
view to the possible opening of such a
department the lot north OF Clark Hal
has now been secured, which gives to
the university a half block, in addition
to space on the adjoining campus, FOL
practical instruction in agriculture.
I'm view of the urgent need of an agrl
cultural department it is hoped that some
provision, either under the Morrill, &C,
or through special appropriation, shall
be made for thoroughgoing instruction
in agriculture in the university. The
proximity of the Department of Agri
lculture and the sympathy of these officer:
with such work would make adequate
provision for such work at limited cost.

QUACK GRASS TREATMENT
There Are Several Ways of Getting
Rid of the Pest, But They All
Require Work.
PLANT PRODUCES MUCH SEED

You have been wondering how to
get rid of that patch of quack grass?
There are several ways of doing this,
but they require work and patience.
Quack grass lives on year after year.
1t produces much seed. 1t has long,
several-jointed root stocks, by means
OF which it spreads rapidly. One way
to eradicate it is to pillow late in the
fall, or early in the spring, and then
use the shovel tooth cultivator every
three days until the middle of June.
A harrow will keep the stems cut off
below the surface. Then put Guilt
waited crop on the soil and cut out
with hoe any grass that grows.
Where the grass is in small patches
dig up the plant, taking care to get
all the roots. Keep this up until the
grass is all killed. Another way is to
NOW the patch in June just as the
heads Of the grass apepar. Then
cover with deep layer of manure or
straw. After two or three months
plaw deeply, the only successful way
to kill all the roots.

EFFECTIVE WALLPAPER BORDER
New Design Of Wall Finish Just Put
On Market is Unique and Neat.

Recently there has come into wall
paper fashion a type of border that
is cut along the bottom to follow the
lines of the design, usually vines,
leaves or the like. Against a plain
wall paper such border is particu-
larly effective, as who have seen it
can testify. At first this border had
to be cut out after the design was
printed on the paper, but a New
York man has invented machine
which does the printing and the cut
ting at the same operation.

HE WAS TOO GOOD
Famous Actor Had Acrobat, Made Up
as His Counterpart, Perform
Dangerous Leap.
E. H. SOUTHERN TELLS STORY

E. H. Southern, apropos of April 1,
told at a dinner in New York story
about his famous father.
my father in his YOUTH" he said,
'was once playing in romantic
drama wherein he made a tremend-
GUS leap-a leap from his lady loves
tower to mattress behind a wooden
rock on the stage far below 1t was
a thrilling leap, and my father no
doubt enjoyed the applause it won for
him; but one night he sprained his
ankle and vowed> he would leap no
more.
$50 The manager hired q profess
sional acrobat to do the leap, made
up as my fathers counterpart, while
my father would slip back under COW
er of the tower wall and descend to
his dressing-room by means of hid
den ladder.
"The Afternoon the acrobat came to
the theatre to rehearse, he made the
leap, and then he set up a loud COM
plant.
"What's the matter?' asked a
young member of the company, who
happened to be in the theater.
Why said the acrobat, in dis
gusted voice, this here leap is too
tame. It's too easy. A man with
glass eyes and cork legs could do it.
Now, if they'd let me throw two
f1ip-fiops in the air as come down.
"'Splendid!' cried the young act
or. The very thing!'
"'You don't think the boss would
mind?' said the acrobat doubtfully
"'Mind? Why, man, he'll be
tickled to death. Ten to one he'll
raise your salary ....
"That evening, when the great leap
scene began, my father was gratifed
to see the acrobat, a perfect picture
of himself, crouching in the shadow
of the window. e.
"'Love, good-night-.good night
my father cried.
"'Stay!' moaned the heroine, and
she threw himself on his neck.
Stay! That leap is death!'
"'Nay, nay, my own; it's honor. 1

in my heart will bear me up-thine

tore himself from her clinging arms,
and rushed across the open space in
to the shadow. --

teeth.
"And out, straight out into the air,
shot the acrobat. Twice his 1.-THE
shape whirled round like great
hywheel. Then he lit lightly and
easily on the topmost point of the
wooden rock.

applause shook the theatre The
