New York.-New York city is soon
to have a colored regular probation Of
ficer in the person of Miss Grace
Campbell, who has been doing some
effective probation work for the Ma
tional League for the Protection OF
Colored Women.
Several days ago Miss Elizabeth
Walton of the league had conference
with Judges Grain, Mulqueen, Rosal-
sky and Swami on the probation ques-
tion and during their talk the judges
stated that Miss Campbell had done
such effective work they thought 1t
wise to appoint her as a regular pro-
baton officer. Miss Walton, on be-
half of the league, recommended Miss
Campbell for the appointment, which
will probably be made when the pres
ent court has meeting of the judges.

THE WOODS PASTURE.

In many sections of the country, In
naturally wooded districts, there is
much woodland now not under fence,
and it is of very small value to the
owners because it is not used to the
best advantage. On the farm where
a portion Is In mixed timber or brush
this area could be made to yield
considerable annual profit by using the
same as pasture land for hogs. sheep,
young stock and for any Of the farm
animals for a rest and change. In
summer the woods pasture in connec-
tion with an open pasture is appre-
ciated by the animals as a retreat
from the hot sun during the middle
of the day in midsummer. 1t Is good
hog range at all seasons.
Land with a thick growth of trees
or bushes will not produce any for
age crops of consequence owing to the
dense shade and the soil being fully
occupied with tree roots. The woods
pasture for nutritious forage should
be thinned out so that the sun can
shine upoL most Of the ground at some
time of the day. Light and free air
are necessary for grass and other
low plant growth. By thinning out the
underbrush and undesirable growth,
grass and other useful forage plants
will have chance to grow, and the
remaining good trees will fare better.
Such a pasture will not support as
many animals as an open field or the
same area and fertility, yet 1t offers
protection in the heat of summer and
the cold Of winter. The grazing ami
mails will aid in keeping the brush
and sprouts down, and in time, with
seeding, such woods will become a
beauty spot of the farm, as we'll as
yielding profit. Wood meadow grass
thrives in such locations. Bluegrass
and some others will do fairly well
when not pastured too heavily.

PROCTOR SUGGESTS THREE
WAYS To HELP NEGROES
KEEP CLEAN

Atlanta, Ga.-Rev. II. II. Proctor in
his prelude at the First Congregation
al church, colored, spoke on Some
Things That Would Encourage the
Colored People to Take Part in the
Campaign to Clean Up the City"
Among other things. he said:
'In addition to what said last Sun
day night In reference to the impor-
tance of our taking part in the cam
paign for cleaner city, wish tonight
to make three suggestions, which. II
followed, would encourage our people
to take active part in this campaign.
"The first is to pave the back al
leys and provide them water and sew
or connections. A half-million dollars
spent in this direction would be one
of the best investments our city could
make. The people of the alleys and
those of the front street are bound up
together. for 1t Is these alleys that
furnish most of the people who wash,
cook and nurse for the richest people
of the city.
THE second is to put in the more
thickly-populated sections, where ne
groes live, chain of public bath
houses, where the masses OF the race
may have chance at personal,
physical cleanliness. This is done for
foreigners in Cleveland, o.. and for
blacks in Baltimore, Md. Because OF
the lack of facilities in many negro
houses 1t is impossible to keen clean.
"The other is to open in this city
school for domestic servants, where
the principles Of practical hygiene and
sanitation may be taught in simple
and effective way. The colored people
hold In their hands the health of this
city, and they should be taught how
to meet the great responsibility that
is theirs in this respect. If the peo-
pie of Atlanta will stand by me, have
plan by which | can open a school
like this in this city within the next
ninety days"

Philadelphia, Pa-The Philadelphia
branch of the National Negro Bust
ness league was revived after hav-
ing been dormant for some few years.
Through the efforts of DR. A. B. Jack
son, several gentlemen had been got

and they met again and formed a per-
manent organization.
They elected the following officers:
President, DIR. A. B. Jackson, vice
president, e. C. Dawkins, groceries
and provisions; auditor. C. Thomas,
real estate; secretary, John w. Har-
ris, real estate; treasurer, C. K.

.nittee consists of the following: DR..
H. NJ. Minton, chairman; Hon. Har-
ry w. Bass, attorney-at-law; William
Geary, interior decorator; Charles Boil
den, hotel proprietor; P. H. Sumner,
printer. and John A. Austin. cigar
manufacturer.
Others present were G. R. Taylor,
insurance and printing; P. V. Baugh.
printer; F. Martini, grocer; C. D. Hol-

noted, there seems to be nothing to
prevent this branch becoming one of
the most progressive of the national

PRETTY SOUTHERN PORTIA
FIGHTING FOR NEGRO'S LIFE

New York.-It was a very natty and
very confident Portia who appeared
before Judge Swami in general ses-
sions. She was Lucille Pugh, bar
rister. and she came to plead the
cause of an ink black negro. soon to
be tried on the charge of murder In
first degree. Miss Pugh had been as
signed by Judge Swami as counsel for
the black man at the latter's urgent
solicitation, and for the first time in
the history of criminal procedure in
this city a woman will conduct the
defense Of a man on trial for his
life.
Leroy Poindexter is the prisoner
who has given his life into the hands
OF this brown-haired, bright-eyed lit
tie woman. "She knows all my folks
down in North Carolina" he said,
"and she'll be very careful for me-"
Poindexter is charged with having
shot and killed Thomas Brown, a
white man, during a quarrel over a
crap game on March 7.
When the negro was arraigned be-
fore Judge Swami to plead to the In
dictment yesterday, he said he had
no counsel, nor money to hire one.
But, Judge, If you all send for Miss
Pugh and ask her to be my lawyer.
Aid be mighty obliged. She's the
best lawyer in this town and she
knows me and knows how to treat a
Moth Cyarlina nigger"
Judge Swami summoned Miss Pugh
to his chambers and asked her If she
felt capable of conducting Poindexter's
defense. Miss Pugh said confidently
she had been practicing law since she
graduated from the New York Uni
versity Law school in 1908; that she
had supreme court and also one min
or criminal case. She didn't see any
reason why she should not be assign
ed as counsel for Poindexter.
THE man needs someone who will
have sympathy for him." said Miss
Pugh, "and since he seems to have
such confidence in me l should be the
one to conduct his defense"
Whereupon Judge Swami assigned
Miss Pugh as leading counsel for the
negro and he also assigned States
Senator James D. McClelland as asso-
ciate counsel
When Poindexter was led into
Judge Swanns court again to make
his pleading under advice of counsel.
Miss Pugh was there waiting.
The negro's eyes opened wide with
gratitude when he saw the slender lit
tie woman standing by the side of the
counsels desk, and he mumbled some
words of thanks. Then this latter
day Portia stood by the side of the
black man to make her initial address
in his behalf to the court.
Lucille Pugh, barrister, is only 26
years old, and of slight, petite build.
She is North Carolinian.
Miss Pugh's address to the court
was brief. She said in very crisp and
business-like fashion that she had not
had time to read the indictment
through, nor had she seen the records
of the coroners jury in the case. She
would ask the indulgence of the court,
therefore, to permit her to enter a
plea of mot guilty" with freedom to
withdraw that plea and substitute an
other within ten days.
Granted said the Judge, with his
most courtly bow.

A "FOWL" BALL.

A ball game between two semi-pro
fessional teams, one colored, was play
ed on the North side and attracted a
numerous following of negroes, who
went a long way to root for their
team. They occupied a section by
themselves.
A foul ball went in among them and
did not come back. causing red
haired contender to go to that part of
the stand and yell:
Throw that ball back! What do
you think it is--a chicken ?"-Chicago

The statistics of agriculture for
North Carolina have just been receiv-
ed and the light thrown on the condi-
tion of negro farmers in the state is
indeed most gratifying. The negroes
of the state own $4,000 farms with a
total valuation of sS1,425,00O There
is also shown clear gain during the
last ten years of $52,0O0000 In 9TH
er words, the negro possessed only
about S29,000,000 in farm property in
1910. In order to make these figures
still more encouraging, it Is to be
noted that the percentage of increase
for negro farmers is 1S1 while that
for the entire state including all races
is only 100 per cent If this means
anything 1t means that the negroes of
the state are buying farms so per
cent. faster than any other element of
the population. One calamity bowler
says that the negro is dying out; an
other says he is shiftless and improvi
dent, but it appears that neither has
carefully examined the record of ne
gro achievement in land buying and
home building in this and other states
of the south. All he needs is a mans
chance to make history. Who says
nay?-Exchange

Negro business and professional
men who make their money working
for members of their race, and who
seek Negro patronage when their own
business is concerned, should also
see to it that they and their families
patronize other Negro business men.
Preachers and physicians, for in
stance, who are almost if not wholly
supported by members of their race.
should buy their horse feed from ne
gro merchants and their clothes from
Negro tailors and clothiers and see
to 1t that their wives and children
buy their shoes from Negro shoe deal
ers. Negro secret societies should
take the hundreds thousands of dol
lars they have lying idle in white
banks and deposit 1t in Negro banks
where the profits accruing from the
use Of this money will be saved to the
advantage and enrichment of the Ne
gro race. Negro business men must
patronize each other and in this way
set an example to the thousands of
our people whose patronage they
seek-The Colored Alabamian.

The problem of furnishing employ
nent for negro boys and girls who
are preparing themselves for efficient
service. recently came home to GER
tain ministerial friend of ours. The
problem was regarded as one of suf-
fcient Importance for him to mention
1t in sermon and to urge his congre-
CATION to unite their efforts to the end
that their boys and girls might have
a job after they have finished their
schooling. "My boys" he said, grew
up and played with the white boys
of the community, each went to his
own school. each went off to his own
college, finished up and returned home.
Jobs were waiting for the white bows
there was nothing for my boys to
do" The problem, you see, after look
ing vaguely in the distance, had finally
invaded his neighborhood-his street
his home! 1t is seen then that the
man who, by his words and actions.
is doing anything towards making this
problem less acute, is in reality a
leader and benefactor of the race

Inc pidueJ MATS is lOuTtu vi Ine ina
jor planets, next beneath the earth,
and 141.5 million miles from the sun.
the earth being 925 million miles FROM
the sun. M. Edmund Perrier, a men,
ber of the French academy, has drawn
pen sketch of a citizen of Mars,
which looks very much like our water
bullfrogs of the green color, mostly
head, body and arms, with little legs
and those of the pipe reed sort OF
the people of Mars M. Perrier says:
THE low atmospheric pressure has
produced a considerable development
of the pulmonary apparatus, and con-
sequently the general character OF
these Martian vertebrates has been in
fluenced by this development which
is unknown on the earth. The men
of Mars are tall because the force of
gravity there is slight; blonde. be-
cause daylight is less intense there;
with perhaps less powerful limbs, they
have some of the characteristics of
our Scandinavian type, although they
probably have larger skulls. Their
large eyes (blue); their strong noses,
their large ears, constitute type OF
beauty which we doubtless would not
appreciate except as suggesting su-
perhuman intelligence" The company
of the Martians, M. Perrier admits,
would be Objectionable to the elegant
pedestrians who throng the French
boulevards. But Mars is the coun-
try of beauty" M. Perrier concludes,
land the Martians know the most no
BILE intellectual satisfactions and the
suavest emotions" We are surprised
to find by what NJ. Perrier says of his
study of the people and conditions in
the planet Mars that there are no
black people in the population. The
fact that they are all blondes,
with blue eyes, and with some of the
characteristics of our Scandinavian
type, who live in the extreme north
and are descendants of the Vikings,
the fierce Norsemen Of European his
tory, who were giants in their day,
contemporary perhaps with the giant
Anaks of the south, the ancestors of
the Ethiopians, whose capital was Kar-
mac, the ruins of which are objects of
interest in the Nile river country,
seems to bear out the statement that
there are no black people in the plan
ct Mars. Still, the matter is of too
much Importance to decide without
exhaustive investigation. The French
and German scientific and philosoph-
ical mind is SO devoid of color preju-
dice in estimating facts that we are
sure M. Perrier will take kindly to our
suggestion that he scrutinize more
critically the color of the cuticle and
eyes of the inhabitants of Mars, with
the view of ascertaining if there be or
be not any black people there. We
do not care to believe that there are
no black people in the planet Mars, as
We may have to go through it on the
way to the center of the earth, where
heaven is located, Mars really being
the first station from the earth on the
way to the sun. We would like to
have the point settled before we are
to begin the journey. If there are
no black people in the planet Mars.
and if the inhabitants of it hold to the
prejudice against black people that
the white people of the earth do, 1t
will be seen at once that black pleople
who go to heaven by way of Mars
have an unsupported fight before
them.

Salad Among Weeds.

Wonder how many people know tina,
there is a common weed growing
about their places, and even in their
gardens, that makes a delicious dish.
The colored people call it poke-saladt
but 1t is merely the ordinary poke
weed, the berries Of which appear in
early autumn. Cook 1t as you would
spinach, first allowing 1t to soak In
cold water for an hour or more. The
tough part of the stem should be re-
moved, SO that there is little left but
the leaves, and it should be picked in
the early morning, before the sun is
well up and strong and has had q
chance to tougher it. For the best
results, poke should be gathered be
fore 1t grows to be much more than
a foot high. If cut down 1t will grow
again.
In taste, 1t is midway between spin
ach and kale; an eminent physician
recently recommended 1t as a most
beneficial spring food.-Harper's Ba
