The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People, with
headquarters in New York. has ad-
dressed to the senate and house COM
mittees on military affairs an urgent
plea that in the formation Of addition
al regiments for the army under the
pending army bills two new regiments
of infantry and two regiments of artil-
lery be recruited from the colored men
of the country. Under existing law
there are two colored cavalry regi-
ments and two of infantry.
The president of the association is
Moorfleld Storey of Boston and the
treasurer is Oswald Garrison Willard
Of New York. Among the vice presi-
dents is Archibald H. Grimke of New
York.
In its letter to the committees the
association points out that the adju-
tant general OF the army has stated he
doubted il $4,000 regulars could be
recruited in the United States.
There is no difficulty In recruiting
colored regiments" says the letter. It
discusses the fine record made by the
colored soldiers of the army since the
days of the Civil war, and states that
there have been fewer assertions from
the colored regiments than from the
white. The colored soldiers are much
better fitted for service in the tropics
than the white, the records have
proved, the letter asserts. In conclu-
sion, it says:
When ten regiments and several
units Of artillery were added to the
army in 1901, the colored citizens Of
America were deeply offended that
Secretary Root failed to recommend
the establishment Of any colored regi-
ment.
Nov that the question IT, before.

ton for the Advancement of Colored
People urges that the right of these

life be recognized by designating two
of the artillery regiments and two of
infantry, of those about to be created
by congress, as open for enlistment to,
colored Americans.
If hyphenated citizenship is q weak
ness Of the body polite, why insist
that ten million men and women must
remain Afro-Americans unto the fourth,
and fifth generations?"

of the Birmingham (Ala.) INDUSTRIAL
high school a practical spirit Is con-
stantly seen. In the sewing room
girls are taught to sew all OF the oral
nary thin things which must be useo
in every home. The costumes for our
annual musicales are always maze
here, and no girl can graduate until
che makes her entire outfit the
dresses of which must come within
the limit of 81. That this can be done
and the result 3e pleasing alike to eye
and purse you can easily Judge by
looking at the dresses of the girls VINO
sit upon this platform. Our emer-
gency room is an instance of all work
ing together. Several pieces OF furnl-
ture, including one Of the beds, was
made in the carpentry department.
The sewing room furnished the quilts,
the art department made the placards
over tho door and the Mothers I'M
provement association furnished the
medicines to 60 into our school-made
chest.
Our superintendent once made the
remark that our school was the least
expensive one to the city in the sys-
TEN. Instead of having someone do
things for US, the only expense in
Cured is for materials, as we do the
work ourselves. The only outsider
who has done any work at our school
for over three years was plumber,
and If our city did not have such funny
plumbing rules our boys would have
done that work.
When books fall to pieces, as these
cheaply bound editions are sure to do,
the bookbinding department resews
and binds them, thereby often making
them more durable than at first. These
are then put into bookcases made by
the boys, for our Office contains but
one piece of bought furniture, and that
is the principals desk. Not satisfied
with furniture making, this year our
boys went a step further and built a
sanitary drinking fountain so that the
health of all the children can now be
safeguarded by drinking from bub-
bling stream.
In our cooking department girls are
taught to practice economy in the
most-needed place Of all-the kitchen.
The dining room contains an extension
table, buffet and chairs, all Of school
manufacture. The art department
stenciled the curtains which hang at
the windows. Our room lunch is offer
ing a most excellent opportunity for a
development Of business thrift. Ten
girls of the senior class were chosen
last March to work in pairs and serve
one day in each week. They were
given the same amount of money as a
beginning and told to plan their own
means and keep their own accounts.
At the close of the semester the re-
suits were as follows: Team 1 has
made $615; team 2, $6.0S; team 8,
$3.50; team 4, 1851; team 5, $7.72.
During the term two baseball teams
have been entertained at our building.
The emergency room was turned into
dormitory and meals were cooked
and served at the dining room to the
complete satisfaction of all concerned.

It Is said that he contended that his bill was only about S64, and the proprietor insisted that it was SiOO. which he anally paid, but as a result. became offensive in h.s con- duct toward the proprietor. who tried to get him to leave the bar room. The chief of police and Deputy Marshal Frank Bach elected the man. After they reached the street with Tielen they offered to release him if he would go home and behave. but he refused to do so. The officers started 10 take him to the city jail. Then two of Tielen's friends offered to take him home. and made an effort to do so. but he got away from them. returned to town. and started to enter the Re. public saloon again. when he was arrested and taken to jail.
