Berlin over the news of the British
reverses at Maubeuge, as announced
Officially from army headquarters
today.
The German resentment against
England for having injected herself
into this conflict and for calling in
Japan, a yellow race, is so deep that
news of the surrender of the British
army in contingent would be received
with more Joy and satisfaction in
Berlin than tidings of the fall of
Paris.
1t is reported here today that a
portion of the British force is at
present shut up in Maubeuge.
The Berlin populace, inspired BY
the announcement by the military

Try Kind Words Awhile

TO the Editor of The Age Herald:
 It has always been a puzzle to mo. why so many men seem eyer ready to say mean and ugly things about their ieiiow men Can it be possible that any pleasure or comfort can be had from apuse and misrepresentations? PeopIe Who are guilty of these improprieties should stop and think, because in the first place 1t is not manly nor gem tlemanly, and nothing is more certain ly written in the book of fate than their evil doings will turn upon them and crush them Men will criticize the motives of others when they are ab- solutely ignorant of their intentions and purposes There are people who never have kind or encoura gine word to say of those who take an actIy, interest in civic matters and public movements and still better in church and worthy charities. Now, suppose we turn around and try the other way and see if we will not find that We have often made grievous mistakes ana would be glad of an opportunity to correct the wrongs done to our fel- low man. ].

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Worthy of Commentator
he Editor of The Age-Herald

To the Editor of The Age Herald:
 Together with about zoo or 800 other gentlemen and ladies, l attended the sa- cred concert given by the colored choir at the Sixteenth Street Baptist church on a recent Sunday afternoon. The exercises were the best I have ever known rem dered by a colored choir. This was the unanimous opinion of the white auditors
 There was the utmost consideration shown the whites who were there as in- vited auditors Most of the auditorium was taken by the whites, the coored peo- pie occupying the seats at the sides or the building, and in the galleries. large number of requests were sent up to the pastor for favorable airs, ana they were most satisfactorily rendered by the well trained choir.
 This is one of a series of similar en- fertainments given by the pastor of that church, pr. J. A. Whitted, in which most part the melodies peculiar to that people. pr. Whitted is intent on estab- fishing pleasanter relations between the two races in this way.
 At the conclusion of the concert, Judge Miller was called for by the audience to express the appreciation ot those pres ent of the entertainment. As usual. he
 
 sentiment that by occasions like that, the colored people would more and more come to win the growing esteem of their white friends. He was followed by an- other speaker. who spoke briefly when the cultured pastor added remarks cai- culateo to beget better relations bct""cn thu races. when the occasion closed
 Throughout there was the utmost or der prevailing, and when the audience was to retire, the pastor asked that all the coored people remain in their seats til. the white friends had retired. Ther was cordiality in a tasteful inscription in large letters, on the face of the cr- san loft running thus: Welcome to cur white friends"
 Speaking for myself, believe 'rat when our worthy colored people adopt a chorus like this it is worthy of en- couragement. The rendition each oc- casion affords the highest expression oi the peculiar melody for which the col ored race is noted. The pastor proposes to have an occasional sacred entertain ment of this kind more especially for

The bishop recounted in a most forceful manner the sacrifices which the founder had made in order to get es- ts blshed and foster the work of this in- stitution for his race, and recounted the various fields of usefulness into which almost POGO graduates from all depart ments of the institution had gone and made good as leaders, tradesmen and in the professions, and spoke in commend able terms of the improvements which had been made under President Walter S. Buchanan On leaving the chapel, teach- CTS and students marched in body to the grave of the founder and decorated it with flowers and memorial wreaths ap- propriate for the occasion.
 The afternoon was given up to outdoor sports and games of various kinds, in- cluding May pole exercises, dumb bell drills were interesting and creditable nished music for the occasion and the drills weer interesting and creditable.

and special training. Industrial co

ana special training Industrial com paNies In the north usually fill them from the ranks of recent graduates from tech meal schools. The complaint implies q condition of mal-adjustment to which at- tention ought to be called
 In the grst place, it is unfair to talk or diffuculty in filling places until an ef- iort has bee nmade to get men where they are naturally to be sought. The place to look for young men to fill techni- cal positions is in the technical schools ne officers and faculty of a good techni- cal school look upon it as d part of their proper service to the community, and a favor they are glad to render to the young men whom they teach, to help employers in getting suitable men for technical positions.
 fallufe to call on the officers or heads or deTartments for men for civil electri- cal or other engineering positions deprives the Industries of the services of avail doie young men, and compels the men to seek openings farther away from home
 Moreover, it does not seem proper to cast the implied reflections on the work done by those institutions in the south when are earnestly endeavoring to have tnelr work up to the national standard or excellence. If they are failing in their ehorts to hold to that standard, then the proper action would be to inform the authorities, who are engineers as well as teachers, and who are keeping themselves Tn close touch with their specialties. and point out to them the improvements to be made. As matter of fact, they are not failing.
 Our Industrial future is in co-opera- ton, ana as concerns the training of men for the industries, it is in oo-operation between the industries and the edllca- lonal institutions Failure to realize this ana to act on it is bad business.

 Scalp Massage
The Hair and the Scalp-Part 6


 From preceding lessons you have learn ed the reason and value of scalp mas sage. It invigorates and improves the circulation of the capillaries that feed the hair roots, loosens the scalp and pro notes and makes normal theactivity Of the oil ducts. TO getfthe best results from scalp massage study the following three exercises and do them at least five min- utes every night. and for a longer period after a shampoo.
 Scalp Massage Exercises
 Begin tho movements With the hair line over the forehead Place the four ringers of the hands lightly on the scalp with backs parallel and thumbs three inches further back. Hold the thumbs firmly to the head and rotate the eight fingers in little circles. not permitting them to move on the scalp, but to move the scalp over the bony structure beneath. Move the fingers and thumbs a little further along and repeat the movement until the entire scalp has been treated.
 Follow this by moistening the fingers with vaseine. hair tonic or whatever preparation you are using on the hair and repeating the same movement with out using the thumbs. Be careful in do- ing these movements mat your fingers are on the salp. not on the hair
 The third movement Is to loosen the scalp from the skull. Place the fingers Of both hands firmly of the scalp about an inch apart: hold the scalp firmly with these fingers and the ball of the hama; now move the scalp by bringing the fin- gers and ball of each hand closer to each other. Repeat with considerable vigor several times. Move the hands along and repeat the operation until the entire scalp has been treated.
