Attention has been called to the fact

AER0.AMERCAN CULLINCS

Capt. Allen Wadsworth Washington,
a graduate and for years assistant to
Maj. r. r. Motion as commander of
cadets, has been appointed to succeed
Major Motion. After having been iden-
titled with the institute as student and
officer for 81 years, Major Motion left
Hampton, Va, for Tuskegee, Ala,
where he was installed as principal
on May 20.
At the forty-eighth anniversary ex-
ercises, DR.. Hollis B. Frissell, princi-
pal, presented to the board Of trus-
tees a total of 1859 candidates for d.
plomas and certificates. OF these, SO
young men received certificates from
the various departments of the agri-
cultural and trade schools, and 40
men and 43 women received diplomas
from the academy school. Twelve of
the men and all of the women also
were candidates for state teachers
certificates. Several of the gradual.
ing class gave short accounts of their
work.
The National Home association, of
which Alexander B. .Trowbridge of
New York is the president, held its
second annual meeting at Hampton,
all six of the constituent associations
being represented. This organization
insures the permanency of the annual
trip to Hampton 1t this time for sew
eral years. Mr.. Trowbridge was per-
sonally responsible for organizing
these special parties. He and the 9TH
er officers of the National association
were reelected.
Trustees and visitors to the institute
have commented most f~avorably on
the tone of the annual report which
Doctor Frissell has submitted to the
board. 1t is said to be one of the most
encouraging in some years.
In the report Doctor Frissell reviews
the work of the institutions most dis
~tinguished graduate, Doctor Washing
ton, who labored for the economic
emancipation of the Negro. OF the
appointment of Major Motion to sue
coed Doctor Washington as head of
Tuskegee school, Doctor Frissell says:
- "oo q hdJlSG VI pTlu6 ana con-
graduation to the friends of Hampton
that the trustees of the Tuskegee
school should have chosen as Doctor
Washington's successor to the most
important position which a Negro can
occupy in this country, if not in the
world, a man whose entire school edu-
cation was received in the same insti-
tuition from which his predecessor was
graduated"
Major Motions speeches made in the
North are quoted for three things for
which he is especially thankful to
Hampton; 1T has helped his people to
an appreciation of the dignity of the
labor of the hands. 1t has helped
whites and blacks to work together in
harmony and mutual usefulness by
Offering a platform where they can
come together for discussion of their
~difticulties. 1t has helped to create in
the Negro respect for his own race"

First steps toward the establishment
OF a Negro college in the city were
taken at an educational rally OF the

fund of $500 was raised at the rally,
and it was expected that additional
contributions at the various colored
churches Sunday night would bring
this up to $1,000.

Patchwork for Hats.

Every woman has somewhere a
bundle OF beautiful silk scraps which
she could not throw away. These may
now be utilized by featherstitching
them together and using them to cover
a chiffon hat frame. A better effect is
gained when small pieces are used
and the colors carefully blended.

principal objection to most OF the
types tested was that they added to
the amount of transportation that
had to be maintained for an army in
the field and that they did not pro-

of hot food for men on the march
and on the firing line.
The latest type is believed to
solve the problem, and 25 of them
have been ordered. Each of them is

Here is an estimate of vessels with

since the beginning of the European
war: German and Austrian ships in
termed throughout the world, 1924
ships, 6,633,0OO tons; British ships
requisitioned, 1900 ships, tonnage not
known; Russian ships requisitioned,
number unknown, but about 100000
tons. No reliable figures a be
gained about the French and Italian
ships taken for war use, but the num-
Der is known to be large. Perhaps the
total number of ships lost to trade
is 1000. To this must be added the
vast number that has been sent to the
bottom since the war began, about
which no figures are obtainable now.
