QUALITIES OF THE ATHLETE
Natural Training That Has Done So
Much for the Indian VIII Do
More for the American.

~ IA
Glenn Warner, the coach Of the Car
Isle Indian school athletes, says that
the great success of the young In
dams in football and other sports is
largely due to the fact that all the
Indian pupils have led an o~ut-of-door
and active life before they came to
the school. This is true, but it does
not wholly account for the very large
proportion of successful athletes
among the small number of Indian
students in this country. Another
and important factor is the Indian
psychology, which has for ages been
implanting in the males of the race
precisely the qualities which make
them good competitors in sports. The
Indian brave" did not work. He
played, as we should say; he hunted,
chased game on foot, fought his enc
mics almost constantly in swift ex-
races, swan races, danced; and in all
this he accustomed himself to the en-
durance of hunger and thirst, of the
severest physical tests and of uniinch-
ing persistence In the attempt to
overcome something or somebody.
Something Of the early Indian spirit
is needed in the development Of a
proper athletic spirit among our boys.
The Boy Scout movement, the passion
for camping and woodcraft, the canoe,
the swimming pool, will make Amert-
car youths of the future the greatest
athletes the world has ever n

we must concede to the French de-
signer a masterful handling of the
drapery. 1t is modest, but is meant
to be conspicuous. 1t is original and
sticks to beautiful lines, so that there
is no straining after novel effect at
the expense of taste.
The headdress is in keeping with
the character of the gown. 1t is made
of rhinestones and a magnificent spray
of costly feathers. The hair is pecul-
iarly dressed but suits the type of face
of the model in the illustration, which
is pure French.
Altogether the gown, couture, and
hair ornament suit this type incom-
parably we'll, so that the ensemble is
full of fascination. One could hardly
be other than charming with a toilette
so complete and SO beautiful. And 1t
is the knowledge that she is making a
charming appearance which lends
charm to those wonderful French
women, to whom the world owes q
debt of gratitude. They are preserv-
ing charm; they take care to be charm

In making a trip through the south
g few weeks ago, l discovered cases
where colored teachers were not re-
ceiving more than $40 a month for
their service for teaching a public
school, writes Booker T. Washington.
This indicates the sacrifice that many
colored teachers are making through
out the south in order to give the ne
gro children some education.
1t is for teachers and pupils Of this
class for a number of years l have
made an appeal to the public for
Christmas cards, books or any other
gift that will remind these people, who
are doing the nations work under
such difficulties, of the Christmas sea-
son. 1t is most helpful for them to
be reminded that there is somebody
on the outside who is thinking of
them and cares for them.
/ should be very glad to serve as a
medium for the forwarding to such per-
sons whatever gift that may be sent to
me.

Walnuts as Food.

A London medical journal recently
published some interesting facts con-
corning walnuts as foods. According
TO this authority, thirty large walnut
kernels contain as much food value
as two and three-quarters pounds Of
lean beef" With beef worth approx
mately 20 cents a pound, this means
that each walnut Is worth about two
cents as 0 food product as compared

On December IA, engineered and d.
rected by w. Woods White, philanthro-
phist and progressive thinker, there
was gathered at Atlanta the most not
able and epochal meeting Of the ne
groes ever held in the south, If not
in America. Between 5000 and TO-
900 representative negroes of Atlanta,
80 churches and pastors of all denom-
nations, meeting for a common joint
religious purpose, assembled in the
great Atlanta auditorium and were ad-
dressed by leading preachers of their
own race. by leading preachers OF
the white race of Atlanta, by Gov
ernor Slayton of Georgia, by bankers,
business men and editors.
The object of the meeting was to
persuade the negroes, out of their W
means, to erect a Y. M. G. A. building
at Atlanta, with the assurance that If
they did this thing the general public
would cooperate with them more lib
orally than it had ever done before.
The great objective lesson was to
persuade the negro to help himself
in this matter, and the speeches were
of the best ever made in Atlanta in
many years. Negroes themselves con-
tributed $4,000.
The most valuable result of the
meeting was the education of the ne
gro in the great policy of self-help and
of confidence in the good will of the
white race. The results have already
been remarkably inspiring.
The Southern Baptist convention of
Louisville passed resolutions pledging
southern sentiment and to the help
of that new race.
The white preachers of Atlanta fire.
quently leave their own pulplts on
Sunday morning to go out and preach
the saving grace of character, thrift
and self-help in the negro churches.
The effect of this better spirit is
widespread throughout the south. 1t
has almost revol1tionized the feeling
between the two races. 1t has in
spired the negro to greater express
sions of sacrifice and industry that
he has ever shown before, and he is
accommodating both property and pup
lie institutions in a gratifying way.

Stale Bread Left-overs.

There is always great waste in
bread as well. Stale bread can al
ways be utilized. 1t may be dried out
thoroughly in the oven and then
crushed to a powder for breading
c%roquettes or veal chops or outlets.
Or else it may be soaked in milk and
used for pudding.
1t is all these little economics which
tend to reduce the cost of living and
make the business side of the kitchen
a profitable instead of an extrGvagant
part of household management.

Chicago has a hospital in which
young Negro women are successfully
taught to become trained nurses. 1t
is he P%rovident hospital, at Dearborn
and Seth streets. Robert McMurdy
writes in the Survey: THE hospital
is really and distinctly a Negro enter
prise. Founded twenty years ago with
the purpose Of affording colored wo-
men the nurses training, it was then
the only institution of it's kind in this
country, except the government hospi-
tai, Freedmen's, at Washington.
Through it's earlier years it was man
aged by colored people and even to
this time members of both races are
on staff and board of trustees. 1t is
supported largely by colored people.
Its endowment started from the pa
thetic bequest of an old colored wo-
man, who, dying, had just $50 to leave
after providing for her burial. Her
direction was: Give it to two chart
ties established for my people, one
half going to Provident hospital To
this widows mite have been added
generous gifts from friends of all races
sympathizing with the aim of Provi-
dent and enthusiastic over its splen-
did record of achievement. 1t has
graduated over 118 nurses and has
now in training twenty-five colored
women"
After a months visit at this hospi-
tai Sophie P. Palmer answered the
question of whether these Negresses
made efficient nurses. She said: From
the standpoint of order dignity and
technical skill the nursing force of this
hospital seems TO compare more than
favorably with hospitals of the same
size and class in other cities where
the nursing service is composed Of
white women"
when the Provident students took
their training in dietetics at North
western university" adds Mr.. Nc
Murdy, their record was in no way
inferior to that OF the white students!
in similar classes of the School of Do
nestle Arts and Sciences they took
the lead. Recently a graduate took
civil service examination in Chicago
Failing at the first test she passed
later al the head of a class of fifty
four. And these nurses not only main
tain their average but show in crises
the skill, endurance and devotion
which is rightfully expected from the
nurse, regardless of her color"
