The weather affects man In more
ways, It appears, than many suspect.
For example, It is believed that pres
sure variation due to fuctuating winds
has peculiar pathological effects, that
certain electrical conditions Of the air
induced by low atmospheric pressure
have a 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 II is possible for a col
cred man to build an attractive and
comfortable detached house. on lot

Titustown gets and reads a 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 en-
the rich trucking lands, in tho United
States navy yard at Portsmouth. on
the great coal piers at Sewelrs ana
Lamber's point, and on the estates OF
wealthy Norfolk business and profes'
sional men. They have also received
good wages.

structure. 1t was recently built at a
cost of $4,000 and has a membership

tances colored people come to attend
this church and discuss problems OF
lively civic interest.

and very attractive. but the school is

 While the commissioners were con- ferring in Chicago, similar meetings were being held simultaneously in Pittsburgh, Bostcn and Philadelphia.

 Packers Meet Reading.
 By peculiar chance, the first man to shake the hand of Baron Reading on alighting from the train in Chi cago was J. Ogden Armour, head of the packing company that stands to lose more money than any other com pany through British prize court de cision to confiscate $15 5,o00,oo0 worth of meat shipments that finally will go before Baron Reading as lord chief justice of England for finnai decision. "
 q am nightly pleased to meet you" said Armour, gripping the hand of the English jurist.
 And I am glad to know you, MT. Armour" replied Baron Reading.
 As far as could be learned this was as near an approach to a discussion of the meat seizure as was had. Bar on Reading said that discussion Of the subject by him would be hlghly improper in view of his probable as- scciation with the case.
 John A. Spoor. president of the Union Stock Yards & Transit coni- ,pany, was another packer on the committee that greeted the European visitors.
