NATIONAL BAPTIST EXHIBIT
ATTRACTS WIDE ATTENTION.
Governor Of Michigan Praises Work Of
Our Largest Publishing House.

Chicago.-Thousands of people in at
tendance at the Lincoln jubilee cele-
bration, now I'm progress in this city,
have viewed the splendid exhibit Of the
National Baptist Publishing board Of
Nashville, Tenn. The exhibit is In
charge of an experienced display man,
who Is employed constantly at the pub
fishing house In addition to the ex-
hibit at the Coliseum, where the jubi-
lee celebration is In progress, this In
stitution has an additional exhibit at
the Eighth Regiment armory, where
the national Baptist convention opened
its thirty-fifth annual session on Wed
nesday morning, Sept 8. -,
One Of the most attractive features
Of the exhibit Is the uniqueness witk
which 1t is arranged and installed. 1t
shows a graduation in efficiency In the
art preservative. having on display the
productions in mechanism and literary
art from the smallest postal card to O
mammoth leather or morocco bound
book, the entire exhibit being the work
of members of the race employed In
the institution. IT,, H..
Spectators have fingered long and
admiringly at the skill and mechanical
perfection displayed in these articles.
Their admiration increases when they
are told by the instructor that every
one Of the vast number Of people en-
ployed at the Nashville institution
came to work without experience at
any firm or institution in their particu-
lar line Of work. The exhibit shows
samples Of twenty-three different song
books, in which, in most cases, the NIL
sic was written, composed, arranged,
printed, bound and sent out by men,
bers Of the race.
Every line of Sunday school requi-
sites and church helps needed for the
denomination is also shown. In con,
nection with this there Is church sup
ply exhibit, showing that members of
the race have actually been taught the
art Of cabinet making. In the church
supply department anything can be
made Of wood from a collection plate
to the most expensive church pews.
pulpits and pulpit furniture.
There Is also complete display of
Negro dolls ranging in size from the
tiniest twelve inch doll, which Is well
dressed, to one measuring about three
feet in height Free literature Is given
those who stop to view the display. 1t
has already been pronounced as the
most unique exhibit at the celebration,
where 1t Is learned that 1t will remain
until the exposition closes. The gov
ernor Of Michigan in viewing this ex-
hibit pronounced it the best arranged
and most complete he had seen. The
Chicago Daily American made special
mention Of It.

WAR THREATENS RUIN
TO SWISS HOTEL men
Appeal Made to Government
For Aid by Mortgages.

Geneva.-Bereft Of tourist patronage
by the war. the Swiss hotel keepers In
convention assembled have appealed to
the government for relief. They want
a state system Of mortgages on furni-
ture in inns and a delay Of two years
after the end Of hostilities for the pay
ment Of interest on the mortgages.
There are about 1900 tourist hotels
in Switzerland, employing $4,000 peo-
pie, with a yearly wage list Of $780,
600, and 1927 100000 capital Is invested
in the business.
More than 100000 900 was spent by
tourists in Switzerland in 1913. of
which 100000 went for postage
stamps and souvenir cards, $500, 900
was spent for kilograms and phone
talks, 100000 was taken by the rail
roads for fare and freight, and the
balance, less comparatively small
amount for customs duties. was got by
the hotels and shops in the proportion
Of eight to two.
These estimates are the Official ones
made public at the national exposition
at Berne.
English, French, German and Amer
lean travellers make 60 per cent Of the
Swiss tourist trade. The war came
early enough in the summer of 1914 to
reduce the hotel receipts 40 per cent.
This season there has been practical
ly no business.

THREE SCHOOLBOYS I.
WIN PRIZES WITH PIGS

Washington.-"A year ago the three
sons Of a dairyman living seven miles
out Of Macon, Ga, did not have cent
in bank, but had two small thorough
bred Duroc-Jersey pigs" says state
ment issued by the department of ag-
riculture. 1.-TWO Of the boys Joined the
Bibb County Pig club Today all three
boys belong to the club and have In one
Of the Macon banks over $50, made
while going to school.
Zone Of the banks in Macon offered a
deposit Of 81 and a metal savings bank
to each Of the Bibb County Pig club
members who would make good. Max
ing good consisted In exhibiting pure
bred pig at the fair and delivering to
the county agent a record Of feeds and
weights, showing how much it cost per
pound to raise 1t.
"Out of the forty-two boys who made
good thirty-two let their dollar deposit
remain in the bank. Two Of the latter
were the dairyman's sons, who won
considerable prize money with their
boar and SOW pigs. This prize money
was deposited with the bank and is
part of their savings.

to the pathway of unfortunate woman
hood. That their consciences have
been quickened and their convictions
deepened Is evidenced In our great city
by the establishment Of the Empire
Friendly Shelter for unfortunate girls
in Manhattan and the proposed estab-
lishment in October Of a home for
delinquent colored girls. -, D..
The constant influx to this great city
from south and the immigration from
foreign countries are placing before the
women Of New York a problem which
must be reckoned with-one which, If
not carefully studied, will become so
intricate and complicated as to render
1t insoluble. Our social problems are
engaging the attention of the best
minds in the country, and certainly
must appeal to us If we are to be
reckoned with as an integral part Of
this great and advanced civilization.

en- are to be the lever with which the
world must be lifted. Kingdoms will
rise or fall in proportion as woman
uses her influence. Nations will as
cend or descend in the scale Of civili-
zation in proportion as woman deports
herself.
The most hopeful sign Of racial de-
velopment Is that which begins within
the race. Less than twenty years ago
the colored women caught the vision,
and 1t is leading them on to the perfect
day. The National Association Of Col
ored Women's Clubs, of which Mrs
Booker T. Washington is president,
with an approximate membership of
$4,000; the Northeastern Federation of
Women's clubs, Of which Miss Eliza
beth Carter Of New Bedford, Mass, Is
president, with its thousands Of mem
bers, and our own Empire State fed
GRAFTON, 5000 strong, Mrs. M. G. Law
ton Of this city president, are all united
in heart, concentrated in purpose and
marching In solid phalanx to the tune
Of advanced womanhood.
The one thing which characterizes
the women's organizations throughout
the country and distinguishes them
perhaps from some others is that they
are more directly concerned about
character building than any other fea-
ture. They feel that a woman of
moral worth will experience no diff
Guilty in becoming financial factor.
Besides, they feel that the morality of
the women of any race must be its cor
nerstone If succeeding generations are
to build successfully on the foundation
as laid. Unless the pedestal upon
which the statue of the race must rest
is properly constructed 1t will crumble
and fall.
The colored women all over this
country have opened the drafts of
their hearts that the fire Of love may
burn more brightly and that Its rays
may be a lamp to the feet and a light

Colored women are keenly alive to

colored women discouraging them, they
have strengthened them, so that those
of culture and ability have constituted
themselves into moral, mental and in

pulling up the women farthest down.

ing both sexes, may be conservatively
estimated at $4,000 and the number Of
injuries involving a disability Of more
than four weeks, using the ratio Of
Austrian experience, at approximately
10000.
these numbers, impressive as they
are, fail to indicate fully the number
Of Industrial accidents, for such studies
as have already been made show that
Of the accidents involving disabilities
Of one day and over at least three
fourths terminate during the first four
weeks.
1.-THE injuries which contribute the
greatest number Of fatal accidents,
according to Science for Aug. 30, 1915,
are railroad employments and agricul-
tural pursuits, each group being re-
sponsible for approximately 400 fatal
tiles each year. Coal mining contrib
utes more than 1900 and building and
construction work nearly 1000. Gen.
eral manufacturing, while employing
large numbers, produces only about
1900 fatal accidents.
when the fatality rates are consid-
cred, metal mining ranks as most haz-
ardous, with q rate Of four per thou
sand; coal mining comes next with
rate Of 8.5, and fisheries and navigation
following with q rate Of three per thou
sand.
Manufacturing industries as a whole
rank lowest, with q rate of OPS per
thousand, but the fact should not be
overlooked that this low average rate
covers manufacturing groups varying
widely I'm hazard. including on the one
hand boilermaking and the various de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try, in some Of which fatality rates as
high as those In metal and coal mining
have prevailed. and on the other hand
the textile and clothing industries, in
some Of which the risk Of fatal acci-
dent is practically negligible.
'These estimates are derived from
the best sources available. At the pres
ent time there are no entirely complete
and trustworthy Industrial accident
statistics for even single important
industry In the United States. This

statistics is due to the absence Of any
