The weather affects man in more
ways, it appears, than many suspect.
For example, it is believed that pres
sure variation due to fiuctuating winds
has peculiar pathological effects, that
certain electrical conditions of the air
induced by low atmospheric pressure
have pathological effect on nervous
subjects and that solar radiation has
peculiar effects which vary according
to the season.

The Hampton institute press service
offers some interesting information
concerning Titustown, prosperous
Negro community, which lies on the
southern side of Hampton Roads. mid
way between Ocean View and Nor
folk
At Titustown it is possible for a col.
ored man to build an attractive and
comfortable detached house, on lot
30 by 110 feet, for $500. For 81 500
he can build and own house of seven
rooms. He is favored also in having
vacant lot left between his house
and that of his neighbor. Every fam
lily has its full quota of air space. The
children are not compelled to play in
the streets and roadways
Titustown streets are straight well
graded, and bordered with trees,
shrubs, and plants. To the people the
rural free delivery brings the news of
the outside world. 1t is said, on good
authority, too. that every Negro in
Titustown gets and reads daily pa
per. Some Negroes buy and read two
daily papers. ITO millions of black
folks. even now" says. the Institutes
report, this would seem ultra modern.
To some it may seem strange and
even dangerous that Negroes should
be so up and coming, but the truth is
that in proportion as Negroes get
knowledge based on experience and
have their wants increased, they set
tie down to habits of thrift and indus
try. This is what has happened to the
Negroes of Titustown. They have en-
joyed rare opportunities. They have
had plenty of work to do-work on
the rich trucking lands, in the United
States navy yard at Portsmouth. on
the great coal piers at Sewell's and
Lamber's point, and on the estates of
wealthy Norfolk business and profes-
sional men. They have also received
good wages.
The church at Titustown-the Mt.
Pleasant Baptist church-is a fine
structure. 1t was recently built at
cost of $4,000 and has a membership
OF 1,500 persons. For long, long dis
tances colored people come to attend
this church and discuss problems of
lively civic interest.
In Titustown the church is strong
and very attractive, but the school is
also strong and fully as substantial, if
less outwardly attractive. The county
school board spent $4,000 on the Titus
town school, which is a brick, four.
room building so constructed that an
other story may easily be added. Some
$50 children are enrolled and the aver
age attendance is very satisfactory.
The children in Titustown school have
good teachers and a term of seven
months. They are clean, happy and
alert. They are physically well set up.
and show the good results of careful
home training. The Titustown moth
ers find it possible to remain at home
and care for their children instead of
eking out a meager living over the
washtub. The school equipment is
good and is being steadily improved.
The county manual training teacher
has been able to make, with the as
sistance of the boys, some useful arti-
cles of school furniture. The school
playground of three-quarters of an
acre is kept clear of weeds and trash
A plot of two acres has been reserved
for public park. 1t is important that
in any scheme for community building
some provision should be made for
recreational activities One of the cry
ing needs of Negro country life is
healthful recreation"

The tfty-third anniversary of the is
suance of the emancipation proclama-
tion by Abraham Lincoln was cele-
brated by the National Emancipation
commemorative society at Mount Car
mel Baptist church, Washington. Lin
coin issued the emancipation procla-
nation September %, 1862
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of
labor, was the principal speaker at the
celebration, and congratulated the col
ored people of the country upon the
progress made by them since their
emancipation. He commended the So
ciety for having adopted September %
as the day for the general observance
and celebration throughout the coun-
try of the issuance of the proclamation
by Lincoln.
England and France" said he,
were on the eve of recognizing the
southern confederacy as they were in
need of cotton, and would have done
so had not President Lincoln issued
this preliminary proclamation, Just
when he did. threatening to forever
abolish slavery in the cotton produc
ing states should those states refuse
to lay down their arms and come back
into the Union. Not only should this
day be celebrated by the colored peo-
pie, but the people of all races
throughout the country ought to unite
in celebrating the anniversary of an
event that was the first step calcu-
lated to making the Declaration of In
dependence living verify
Prof. Jesse Lawson in opening the
celebration commended the colored
people for their loyalty to country and
flag, and urged the establishment Of a
chair in patriotism in American uni
versities and institutions of learning
in every section of the country.
H. Martin Williams, reading clerk OF
the house, said that the abolition of
Negro slavery in the United States
gave freedom, in part, to all of the
people in the country. Rev. w. A.
Taylor of the Florida Avenue Baptist
church, and n. w. Mcgowan, chairman
of the ways and means committee Of
the commemorative society," also de-
livered addresses.
The society adopted resolutions rec
ommending to the colored people of
the country that they set apart Sep
tember 90 of each year for a celebra-
tion of the issuance of the emancipa-
ton proclamation. The resolutions de-
clared that no class of citizens in
America will long suffer injustice be-
cause of the spirit of fair play of the
American people and called attention
to the recent decision of the Supreme
court of the United States holding un-
constitutional the grandfather clause"
of the constitutions of some of the
states by which colored voters were
Disseminated against.
The resolutions provided for the ap-
pointment of committee of 100 by
the president of the society to make
all necessary arrangements for the
congress of colored Americans to be
held in Washington next year, and
recommended to the colored people of
the country that they take steps to
participate in the national exposition
of colored Americans to be held in
Washington in 1920.
