Memorial Day Like All Souls Day.
Memorial day is in truth nothing
more than secular All Souls day. It
owes its origin. according to some ac-
counts, to the women of the south,
who began the practice of decorating
their graves less than two years after
the close of the civil war. That
struggle of four years had kept our
country In constant state of commo-
ton and excitement Every part Of the
nation had contributed its men, young
and old. to the conflict. When peace
was restored there was scarcely a
village or town that did not have a
grave to remind it of the fearful cost.

lished paragraph stating that few
women of Columbus. Miss, had strewn

tribute caused thrill of tenderness to
pass through the north. and 1t aroused.

ALAMEDA COUNTY DAY COM
MITTEE.

A meeting was held under the aus
pices of the Alameda County Day
! Committee last Wednesday evening
at Cooper Zion Church. The chair
man or the committee, Miss M. SIM
mons, presided. Reports were made
by various members of the commit
tee as to what they had done by way
ol interesting others in the move
ment.
Mr.. James A. Hackett, chairman of
the General Committee, is ardently
working for the success of this af-
fair. Mr.. Hackett is one of Alameda
countys most esteemed citizens and
he says he considers it the duty of
every colored resident to rally at this
time, if only to assist by contributing
something toward the childrens par
ticipation. The committee hopes to
raise enough money through general
subscription to pay for the children's
car which was definitely decided on
at the meeting. The car will hold
about seventy-fve children and if
enough more children can be obtained
by Monday there will be two cars or
floats of children
Mrs. Augustine Craigg and other
members of the committee are doing
excellent work towards securing the
children. The committee has agreed
to work to the end that no individ-
ual parent will necessarily be COM
PEELED to contribute for the expense
of the car or its decoration, as the
parents will all have other expenses
in connection with the children.
The Fannie ]. Coppin Club and the
Household of Ruth, No. 458, have al
ready responded with small dona-
tions and several individual citizens
have done likewise, ali of whom will
be given credit in due time. Anyone
wishing to swell the children's fund
by next Tuesday may. report to the
treasurer of the committee, Mrs. TobeI
Williams, 1918 Chestnut street.
The Civic Center was the only or
ganization that reported it would par
ticipate on Alameda County Day at
the Exposition. The Center will have
a representative decorated car that
will accommodate about fifty women.
Anyone who desires information
about riding in the car on this occa-
sion may communicate with the chair
man of the Center's Exposition Com
mittee, Miss M. Simmons.
