In 1S4S. This had very varied ex
perience. but struggled on until the
general conference In 1852. when Its
name was changed to the Christian
Recorder, and to this day 1t has been
known by the latter name. Its first
editor was Rev. NJ, NJ. Clark. who was
one of the best educated men Of the
colored race during his time.
The Christian Recorder soon became
one Of the great forces In the life
of our people. and In the abolition
movement 1t took prominent part.
Upon its exchange list were many Of
the prominent religious papers of the
country. and 1t was frequently quoted
as " ing the authoritative paper and
standing for the highest and best for
the colored people
Today, although hundreds of secular
papers have grown up, having
wider range and larger constituency.
yet the Christian Recorder Is looked
upon by all as the mother Of our
journalism and an influential factor
In our racial life. 1t goes to the homes
Of the leading African Methodist min.
listers. who number over 5000. and II
holds strong place Of influence among
race journals.
Edited by the Best Trained Men.
It Is sometimes said that large pop

In the selection Of their leaders, select

Oratory than those who are given
more to thoughtful and constructive
effort. But with the Christian Re-
corder this has not been the case.

RAILWAYS CLEAR LESS
MONEY, REPORT SHOWS.
Their Net Operating Revenues Fo'
May 6how SIS Per Cent Decline.

The continued decrease in railroad
prosperity as far as earnings are CON
cerned ia shown in the latest report
from the bureau Of railway economics.
This is maintained jointly by most Of
the important lines and has at its com
mand data referring to nearly every
mile of steam railway in the United
States.
Its latest report covers the month
of May and shows that the net operat-
ing revenues of the railways declined
80 per cent per mile of line as com
Jared with May, 1911, and that for
May. 1911, was As per cent less than
Eor May, 1910. This is the salient fact
Of the monthly summary of the bureau
of railway economies, compiled from
the reports of the railways to the in
terstate commerce commission.
The total operating revenues were
$2H6, 100, ,262, an increase Of 81 per
mile of line over May, 1911. The OPP
Grating expenses were S161 ,3GS,677. an
Increase of S24.29 per mile Of line.
while the net operating revenue was
SGi,Gf0,5SJ, decrease of S17.23 per
mile of line. Taxes amounted for the
month TO $9,S97, ,301. or S45 per mike.
an increase of % per cent.
The increase In net operating reve-
nue. in the eastern group Of railways
amounted 10 11.9 per cent. IN the
southern group there was an increase
of GA per cent and in the western
group less than OIL per cent
The aggregate net operating reve
nues for the eleven months of the fiscal
year and for the five months Of the
calendar year, when measured per
mile of line, show a decrease in COM
parison with the corresponding peri
DDS of last year.

The fossil vertebrae Of a dinosaur
which IN life probably exceeded sixty
five feet in length are being carefully
removed from the sand rock at the Jen-
sen quarry, near Rock Springs, Wyo.
The remains of two smaller dinosaurs
are being uncovered at the same time,
but these crumble as quickly as they
are exposed TO the air.
Eighty Of the vertebrae OF the giant
reptile have been uncovered with but
little damage 20 them. They include
the lower part of the neck and the up
per part Of the tail At the hips the
vertebrae are foot in length.
-Four dinosaurs have been uncovered
in the Jensen quarry, which is becom-
ing one Of the famous fossil fields Of
the state, rivaling the world famous
ones near Rock river and in Converse

CABARETS IN BIRDLAND NEXT,
Lecturer In Chicago Talks of Raetime
and Opera In Feathers,

Henry Oldys, formerly Of the United
States biological survey, in a lecture
at the University of Chicago talked Of
the aesthetic sense Of birds.
Birds dance in the air, do highland
filings and the more sedate evolutions
with the most perfect rhythm" said
Oldys. "They sing bird ragtime' and
at other times snatches of song which
greatly resemble our grand opera.
There is a blackbird that has a song
almost parallel to a Wagnerian opera;
the robin is best in so called popular
songs, while the wood thrush sings q
song of four distinct verses.
Like the human being, birds firt
and are filled with vanity. In this ca
pacity they use their plumage with
great effect. In the Kongo there is a
male bird that struts before It's mate
and peeps under its wing to see II she
is looking at him."
The speaker concluded with the state
ment that birds sometimes copy from
man and that man could learn a great
deal by copying from the bird.

DESTROYING THE BARRIERS.

The following extract from Con-
gresham Ainey's speech of July 13
is taken from the National Dairy
Union Press Bulletin:
According to the advance reports
from the bureau of the census MAY
6, 1922 1,62O,766, 200 pounds of
butter were produced during the
census year 1909, valued at $4O5,-
100000, of which 966,OOO,OOO
pounds were produced on farms and
the balance in cooperative and 9TH
er factories. For the census year
1909, the cheese production amount
ed to approximately 32O,O0O,OOO
pounds, valued at about S45,5OO,-
GOO. In 1903 there were 21,72O,OOO
mich cows valued at S702,945, 900.
These taken in connection with the
vast acreage, buildings and equip
ment employed, designate this indus
try as second to none in Importance.
Any competition, no matter how
honest, or otherwise legitimate, cal
culated to depopulate the farms or
drive the farmer into other lines
OF activity, would result in great
national loss.
When, therefore, this congress is
asked to pass measures subjecting
DuILSi, luS IuOSL important dairy
product of the farm, to unequal and
unfair competition at the hands of
so-called cheaper substitute, and
TO confer upon that substitute, by
law, the right to clothe itself in the
well-known garb and habiliments of
butter, | propose to object and
to proclaim it a departure from the
governments avowed policy of help
fulness to agriculture and ViolatiVe
OF the first principles of common
honesty and fraught with danger.
When it is proposed to permit the
manufacturer of oleomargarine not
only to color his product in imita-
tion of butter, but to mix with it a
sufficient quantity of genuine butter
to import the real butter taste and
appearance, all barriers are DESTROY
ed. Mans elemental senses, given
him for the purpose of protection
and discrimination, are to no avail
against deceit, for neither sight,
smell nor taste will distinguish it.

COUNTRY'S COAL OUTPUT Is
HALF \ BILLION TONS.
in 1911 Close TO Record
for 1010-Nalue of the Product
is S625,91O,113.

The United States has become a
half billion ton coal country. Dur
ing the last two years the total pro-
duction has averaged just trifle
short of the 100000 mark, eX-
ceeding that figure in 1910 and al
most reaching it in 1911. 1t is con-
sidered probable that in the future it
will be a bad year whose production
falls far short of this quantity. The
final figures of production have been
compiled by Edward w. Parker, the
government coal statistician, and are
discussed by him in a statement Just
issued by the United States Geologi-
cal Survey. They show a total pro-
duction in 1911 of 496,1SS,3OS short
tons, valued at the mines at $685.
9lO,l13. OF this production Penn
sylvania anthracite amounted to 90,-
AGA, ,O67 short tons, valued at S174,-
952, AS, and bituminous coal and
Ignite to 405,724,241 tons, valued at
$3.50, 957, ,69S. The decrease in pro-
duCtion in 1911 was 5,40S,070 tons,
or little over one per cent. in guam
tity, and $3,646,90S, or a little over
0.5 per cent, in value. The decrease
is attributed by Mr.. Parker wholly
to the depressed condition of the
iron and steel trade in 1911, which
was reflected in the decreased pro-
duction of coke. The three leading
coke-producing states alone showed
an aggregate decrease of nearly o.
100000 short tons of coal.
The decrease in the production of
bituminous coal compared with 1910
was II, ,3S6,901 tons, but this loss
was largely made up by the increase
in the production of anthracite,
which was 5,97S,S31 short tons
greater than in 1910.
The average price for bituminous
coal was one cent a ton lower in
1911 than in 1910 and that on an
thracite was three cents higher
The total number of men employ
ed in the coal mines of the United
States in 1911 was 722,322, of which
172,5S5 worked in the anthracite
mines of Pennsylvania. The average
number of days worked in the an
thracite mines was 246 and in the
other mines 211. The average pro-
duction per man was three and one
half tons a day in the bituminous
and Ignite mines and 2.13 tons a
day in the anthracite. The time lost
by strikes in 1911 was insignificant.
The production of bituminous coal
in Pennsylvania in 1911 was $780,
223 short tons less than in 1910, the
decrease representing almost ex-
actly the decrease for the year in the |
entire United States. In this state
LA, ,721, 1903 short tons Of bitumin- |
GUS with a spot value of $I46,311,-
500 were produced in the year.
