THE HIGH JUMPER
BY GEORGE NJ COBB.

A vivid scream rang out upon the
turned from a side street into a blind
thoroughfare which lost. itself among
the rock heaps Of the canal. His was
a quick eye, and within the space of
a second its glance took in details of
excitement and peril that thrilled him.
What he saw was a young girl dash
ing frantically down the middle of the
road, a square distant. In advance of
her, coming full bent at top speed
was an automobile, and ~clinging to its
seat was a golden haired little child
OF about seven years. Her face was
devoid of color, her lips parted in
horror, her ayes distended. Young as
she was, the little one seemed to fully
realize her frightful peril. In a flash
Ross fancied he comprehended the
merits of the situation. The child
had probably accidentally started up
the machine while alone in it's charge,
was ignorant as to handling the mech
anism and was powerless to stay its
mad flight.
Save her! save her!" shrieked the
young lady in wild pursuit of the run
away machine. Even at the distance
Ross was away from her the agonized
accents rang out clearly.
Ross Evans, ono high jump cham
pion Of a noted athletic organization,
nerved himself nightly, at the inspira-
ton of old time campus ardor and the
call OF humanity. Death and destruc-
tion lowered. The fated machine was
headed for an end to it's career less
than thirty seconds ahead. There was
one way only to hope to stay it's
course, a way full of danger and sac
rifice. He took it.
Calculating to the closeness of a
single watch tick, he braced for a run.

One hundred years ago the first col
ored troops who ever served in the
army of the United States O the
commentator of General Jackson in
the battles In and around New Or
leans. 1t was there that a small part
OF the regular army, the militia of sew
eral of the southwestern states, and
two detachments of colored troops
won the final engagement which drove
the invaders from the shores of that
portion of the country.
January 81 General Jackson read an
ADDRESS to each of the commands
which had taken part in the battles,
reviewing the campaign, and saying
OF the engagement of January s that
the loss of the enemy was more than
5000 while the American loss was but
ia wonderful i~nterposition of heav-
en-! An unexampled event in the his
tory OF war!" General jackson charac-
terizes the event.
In his general orders of January 81,
prior to breaking camp, General Jack
son complimented the various regi-
ments and commands, saying of the
two bodies of colored volunteers:
They have not disappointed the hopes
that were formed of their courage and
perseverance in the performance of
their duty. Majors Lacoste and Da-
quin, who commanded them, have de-
served well of their country"
Yet, although these colored troops
were commended for their GOODNESS
and bravery under fire, especially in
the memorable engagement Of Deem
Der 20 when they were attached to
Coffee's brigade, which opened the Sc
ries Of battles, recognition for their
services, by way of pension and
bounty, was withheld for several years
after their discharge from the serv-
ice and then was granted only after
an opinion had been given by William
Writ, attorney general Of the United
States at that time, that they might
legally be so recompensed.
When the colored troops enlisted the
act of congress of December "a, 1911,
provided a bounty of SIG, with three
months pay, and a grant of 100 acres
of land to those who had served five
years, the same amount of land to the
heirs of those killed in battle, and the
same amount of land to the heirs of
those who had died in the service after
having served five years. The act of
January II, 1912, carried like provi-
sions, and the act of December 10, 1914,
again carried the provisions, except
that the amount of land granted was
doubled.
After the colored troops were mus
tered out, application was made in
their behalf for recognition under
these acts, especially for the bounty
of 800 acres Of land, but it was not
until 1928 that their claims were rec
ognized.-James Croggon in tia Wash

III is wonderful what miracles of i'm
4 provement in looks can be brought
about by lei of the couture and it's
decorations. Only beautiful and au-
dacious youth can afford to wear
plain, severe styles of hairdressing.
Waves that mitigate the austerity of
straight lines, curls which suggest
femininity, are almost invariably be-
coming. And aside from becomingness,
a wellgroomed appearance more evil
lent in the couture than anywhere)
has a compelling charm in itself.
When the lest and most tasteful of
hair ornaments are worn, to set off the
chic couture. a chance is given for the
exercise of individual taste. There are
many pretty hair ornaments, unpreten-
tious and elegant, that any clever
woman al fashion for herself. Near
ly all of the new ones are made of
strands of small rhinestones, used in
single or double bands, about the head,
in the manner of Greek bands. But
with them flowers, feathers, or velvet
ornaments are used.
Two of the best designs are shown
here and one hardly needs more than
the picture to be able to go about
copying them. One consists of a rhine
stone band sewed to a fine ~silk-covered
wire which terminates in a loop at
each end, A hairpin thrust through

The Congressional Library.

The v~astness of the congressional
library is shown by a recent report to
congress in which it is shown that the
library contains 2,125,255 books, 135,323
maps and charts, 6SO,799 volumes and
pieces of music and 36O,949 prints. The
books added in the previous year
amounted to 1867 and an extension
of the library is asked for with racks
for 100000 more books. The library
has an average Of 2,454 visitors and
readers during each day of the year
and yet the place seems never crowd
ed at any one time. Since the location
of the Union station on its present site
many travellers with an hour to spare
between trains avail themselves of
the opportunity to visit this beautiful
building, while it is the favorite haunt
for those who are students of music,
literature or art and love to pore over
its priceless treasures. - Harper's

Discard Small Turban.

In Paris the leaders of fashion have
discarded the small turban hat for the
larger models of white satin. These
stunning hats appear in a wide vari-
ETY. of shapes, with gracefully rolling
brims or brims which flare more on
one side than the other. The favor
lite, however, is the wide, straight
brimmed sailor, smoothly covered
with white satin of a good quality.
These are trimmed with a simple bow
of white satin, the ends of which are
sometimes fringed. Fantasies of plu-
mage appear on a few models, but the
majority are simply trimmed with the
satin or MORE.
The crowns of these hats are rather
low, and the tops are unlined and
scantily gathered about the edge.

Few people realize to what an ex-
tent the nation is indebted to the edu-
Gated colored man for the mainte-
nance of peace between the races.
While many race vars have been pre-
dicted, no serious and prolonged ra-
cial conflict has taken place in re-
cent years in the South. 1t has been
in a very large degree the influence
of the educated Negro who has u
seled patience, forbearance and SYM
pathetic cooperation between the two
races that has prevented ~disgraceful
outbreaks and has resulted in secur-
ing and maintaining a large degree of
peace and harmony between the races.
The people of this nation should
remember hat the Negro is not a
beggar so far as his personal needs
are concerned. He supports himself
in clothes and shelter, and has done
SO for As years. The only call that he
has made upon the public has been
for aid in the direction of education,
moral and religious training."-B. T..

Hampton institute is an undenom-
national school for the training of
teachers and leaders in agriculture,
the trades and community work. Its
aim, as expressed in 1859 by General
Armstrong, has not changed: ITO
train selected youth who shall go out
and teach and lead their people, first
by example by getting land and
homes; to give them not a dollar they
a earn for themselves; to teach re-
spect for labor; to replace stupid
drudgery with skilled hands; and to
these ends to build up an industrial
system, for the sake not only of self
support and intelligent labor, but also
for the sake of character"
Hampton has recently published a
pamphlet, Education for Life" which
contains General Armstrong; leading
ideas on education-a working philos-
ophy of Christian living. Education
for Life" contains sections on edu-
cation of hand, education of the mind,
education of the character.
Those who are interested in educa-
ton which spells service and progress,
will wish to read Education for Life"
and then compare their impressions
with these words of endorsement, is
sued by the United States bureau of
education: 1T is felt that General
Armstrong; theory and demonstra-
ton of practical education have
proved to be right, not merely for the
races for which they were immediate
ly intended, but for boys and girls
everywhere, since they represent a
successful attempt to work out one
of the most momentous tasks of our
time-that Of creating an education
that shall be an effective force for
training productive, efficient members
Of society"

'Spellman seminary has trained
many competent women for domestic
service, the majority of them going

the industrial uplift of the Negro has
a little monetary assistance in

Athens, Samuel Harris, through vari-
GUS agencies, has most of its support

that faithful ex-slave, who was born
on Alexander Stephens plantation, is
struggling to raise $1,000 to build, as
a memorial to Mr.. Stephens, an indus
trial school at Sparta, Ca, where
domestic science is one of the pur-
poses. He has the highest indorse-
ment from the white men of that vi
cinity, the governor of the state in
dorses his work, and the men of
thought who have seen it and appre-

$1,000 for the completion of the build

Individually, Mr.. and Mrs. Eugene

for the Negro employees on their
plantation, but in no city or town in
the state where the cry for domestic
service is loudest, is any step be-
ing taken to train for domestic sci
ence.
