CLING TO THEIR PRIVILEGES
Ambassadors Enjoy Many Rightly
That Have Been Accorded Them
for Centuries.

Ambassador" and minister" mean
pretty must the same to the average
man, but there is very great differ
ence between the two, inasmuch as an
ambassador possesses many privileges
abroad that do not pertain to a mere
minister.
Perhaps the most curious privilege Of
an ambassador. who is accredited to
the ruler of country and not merely
to the government thereof. as is min
lister. is that the ambassador may when
dismissed turn his back to the SOW
ereign to whose court he has been
assigned. Briefly described the mode
of procedure is as follows:
When the audience Is at an end the
ambassador waits to be dismissed by
the sovereign When dismissed the am
bassador bows. retires three PAGES.
bows again, turns on his heels and
walks to the folding doors. But when
the reigning sovereign is a woman a
more polite method Is employed. To
turn his back would be to resign a
privilege; therefore the ambassador re-
tires sideways. He keeps one eye on
the sovereign and with the other he
endeavors to find the door. By this
unique means he contriyes to show all
politeness to the sovereign and at the
same time retain his ambassadorial
privilege in retiring. Another privilege
Of an ambassador is that of being ush-
cred into the royal presence through
folding doors. both Of which must be
flung wide for him. None save an am
bassador can claim this privilege. the
greatest favor in this respect that can
be shown any on-ambassadorial rep
resentative consisting In the opening
to him of one door only.
There is one privilege of the ambas-
sador. privilege that sometimes oc-
cssions great Inconvenience to the
ruler, which consists OF his right to
demand admission to the sovereign by
day or by night.

BABrS ECZEMA AND BoILs

and in few days noticed a marked
change. The eruption on his cheeks
was almost healed, and his shoulders,

old, all trace CT the eczema was gone.
During his teething period, his
head and face were broken out in

mere are now many agencies in the
south trying to find way to help the
negro get larger share of the fruits
of his toll, and to enable him to live
his life more abundantly and in better
accord with the southern white man.
Not one of them Is so revolutionary
considering the history of the souths
attitude toward this questionable so
called Negro Problem"-and perhaps
none holds more promise, than the
concerted efforts of hundreds OF earn
est students in southern colleges and
universities who, on their own initia-

ter In such manner as, few years ago.
would have been thought the idea OF
a dreamer, A striking point is that,
whereas nearly every substantial eff
fort heretofore in this field has been
directed, and, largely true even now,
supported by public-spirited people of
the north. at this time the scholarship
OF the south Is directed with almost
solemn intensity. first to an awakening
of the southern white people to their
opportunity and duty. and. second. to
practical examination of the con-
ditions which are believed to be re-
sponsible for the failure of the negro
to attain what he hopes for and what
is desired for him. The most encour-
aging consideration is the fact that
the south itself Is investigating the
trouble and trying to find the remedy
as 1t has never done before. This
would seem to justify statement of
prominent southern educator recent
ly. He said that whatever was done
to help the negro would have to be
with the sympathy and cooperation of
southern white men, for without such
sympathy and cooperation nothing
that was done would be of permanent
value. With the best minds and char

One of the great hindrances to the
progress of the black mans fraternal
societies is that they elect to mem
bership some men and women whom
they wouldn't have the nerve to in
vite into their homes and introduce
to their wives and families.-The
Seattle Searchlight.
That the colored brother has made
blunders in his management of his
fraternal organizations Is undeniable
His blunders are due partly to his
ignorance and largely to the exigen-
cies of the circumstances surrounding
him. / doubt whether the original
founders of secret orders among us
expected them to be strictly social in
their functions, maintaining well de-
fined lines of social demarcation. OF
course 1t is rather discouraging to
have your wife or daughter associate
with the "soiled doves" of society in
these fraternal organizations. But
the insurance features in these or
ganizations must be maintained, and
hence the necessity of blinking at
some things that seem inappropriate.
The fraternal organizations however,
are no greater sinners in this re.
spect than are negro churches, and
the former have more excuses for
dereliction in this respect than have
the latter. But the disease Is work
ing its own cure. Hundreds are join
ing organizations where meetings and
consequent loss OF time and undesir-
able associates are unnecessary
