his life was jeopardized.
After pastor'ng successfully in Geor-
gia the Rev. DIR. White was sent to
the Virginia conference and then to
Washington. where he also did con-
structtve work for his denomination.
He built Lane chapel In Northeast
Washington and became a potent fac
tor in reaching the unreached in that
section OF the capital. Later he was
transferred TO Philadelphia, where he
was presiding elder for two years.
Since then he has with pronounced sue
cess pastOred In other parts Of Penn
sylvania and New Jersey.
The remarkable enthusiasm Of the
conference at the Wesley church was
largely due to DR.. Whites achieve
ments since he has been In this city.
When he came here two years ago the
church building was in n dilapidated
condition. He organized the members
of the church, and they Loyalty follow
ed him to the extent that this cOngre-
CATION now has an edifice which re-
fleets credit upon them. Recently an
annex was added to the church at a
cost of $1,000. and several organiza-
tions Of the church have equipped the
entire plant with electric lights. A
large gas range has been put in the
kitchen. The main auditorium has
been beautifully renovated, and an
inspiring churchly atmosphere pre-
walls. DIR. White believes in Negro
brain and skill, and the entire work
was done by Negro contractor.
The ministers Of Camden received
their share Of praise from the confer
ence because OF the splendid work the
ministers of the race in this city are
doing through their organization, the
Ministerial alliance, which was organ
iZcd by DIR. White. This body OF able
men, with the assistance of the local
Negro Business league, in 1915 stopped
the play entitled "rhe Niger" from
showing In this city.
The Rev. DR.. White has received
many honOrs. He is strong force in
the economic, social and religious ac-
tivities Of Camden. He has certain
ly made himself an element for good
in the affairs of the local government
and has helped to better local cOndi-
tions among our people. Because of
his consistent and inspiring efforts and
training Livingstone college, the lead
ing institution of his church, will also
confer the degree Of doctor Of divin-
ity on him. Being man of strong
qualities and endowed with the ability
to lead, he Is one Of the leading dele

There have been complaints made
against certain ambitious under
taker for the pernicious practice OF
going over to the County hospital and
asking relatives or going to the house
and asking them for the body of their
sick relative. In one case both par
ties were very sick and this under
taker went to both sick people and
asked for the body of their sick rela-
tive. AS result, serious illness was
the consequence to both. Even money
has been offered the nurses at the
hospital to use their influence in get
ting them the body. Such pernicious
practice of soaring people to death in
order to get their bodies must cease.

Let us thank you for the many sub

month. It's mighty nice for an editor
that is trying to do the right thing
to find several unsolicited subscrip-

common people have done for us. We
have, it appears, struck popular
chord at last But, above all, this
gives us more encouragement than
anything else. Again we thank you
and would like to say before we close

EXPLANATION.

The Star was told last Wednesday
by Mr.. Teller himself that HE ap-
pointed Mrs. Ida DePriest, along with
Messrs. Gay and Hail. That a com,
mittee of colored women had called
and requested that the Colored be
given share of the copying the
poll books. Mrs. DePriest appeared
there some three or four weeks ago
and asked for some work and he ap-
pointed her, so he said. In order to
ascertain the correct facts, The Star
asked Mr.. Bert Martin, whom we
know well, if he appointed Mrs. De
Priest or had anything to do with her
appointment and he said plainly that
Mrs. DePriest was appointed as one
of Mr. Teller's workers and he had
nothing to do with it." We accept
the denial of Mrs. DePriest, but the
Star sincerely thanks Mr.. Teller for
giving the opportunity to the colored
to get back some of the taxes paid
to the county. This statement is pub.
lished in fairness to all concerned
Give honor to whom honor is due, is
our motto.

CORRECTION.

(Mrs.) IDA DE PRIZE
The Denver star., 1916-05-13

Upon the strength of the above
statement, the Star wishes to state
that Mrs. De Priest says that Mr..
Teller did not appoint her, and If such
is the case, the Star was in error and
Mr.. Teller misinformed the Star. He
does not know Mrs. De Priest, only
by name.

OF distinct printing surfaces.
From the inlaying machine the
goods pass to a hydraulic press, where
they are twice put under a pressure
of $4,000 pounds to the square foot
This great pressure squeezes the
stamped-out tiles and burlap into g
single material that does not show g
seam or joint anywhere. After this
part of the process is completed the
goods are run into an enormous heat
er and left there from four to five
weeks under a sustained temperature
Of lao degrees. This cures them thor
oughly.
The nodded inlaid linoleum is made
somewhat differently, the COMPOST
being applied in a granular condition
through a series of screens. These
screens are arranged to drop the
granules in blocks of different co1ors
making the design, which is then ad-
hered to the burlap by great pressure
Like plain linoleum, the inlaids are
'cured" for several weeks. The wear
ing quality of the goods depends very
largely on the thoroughness of this
curing process. 1t cannot be rushed
or sighted without taking a very i'm
portant factor out Of the life Of the
goods.
AS to the cleansing of linoleum aft
err it is laid in the home, or anywhere
else, the use of plain soap and water
the latter warm, but not hot, is rec
commended. Water should not be
used too plentifully, for if it gets un-
der the goods at the seams, <or around
the edges of the room, it ruins the

OF Its extreme attenuation. Calico
discovered the rings in 1910, and their
nature and construction was positively
learned by the use of the spectroscope
late In the nineteenth century. An
American, Professor Keelere, showed
that the rings were not liquid or solid,
but composed of discrete solid par
tlcles OF all sizes revolving about the
planet in practically the same orbits
and so many in number as to give
at this distance the impression of a
continuous ring. The proof consist
ed in simply showing that the inner
parts Of the rings travel faster than
the outer, which would be just the OPP
posite if the rings were solid and rigid.
The Ninth Satellite of Saturn.
A particularly important and in
creasing phenomenon is connected
with the ninth and outermost moon Of
Saturn, to which we would call atten-
ton here. Throughout the entire So
lar system Of bodies moving about
the Sun and other bodies in turn
moving about these common rule ex-
lists, namely, that all the bodies rotate
in the same direction about the lar
ger body. Every body turns in a
direction from right to left or counter
clockwise, as we can actually see the
moon doing by comparing it's position
among the stars on successive nights.
Just the opposite motion has been pro-
ven to exist in the case Of this extra
ordinary exception; from which one
might be led to wonder if it were not
possible that this moon did not find
it's origin in a cosmic birth like that
of the other moons Of this planet, but
entered the family as an outsider cap
tured by the gravitational attraction
of the mass of Saturn, as it flashed,
like a comet into the solar system
from the depths of outer space.

L|N0LEUM

How many of the thousands of
Americans who daily come in contact
with linoleum in their homes know
how much of the earth's surface has
to be covered in obtaining the raw
materials from which it is made :?
How many know that the flax, the
seed Of which is crushed to make lin
seed oil, is gathered from Russia, Ar
gentina and Canada, and from Min
nesota, Montana and North and South
Dakota in this country?
How many know that the cork that
is used comes from Spain, Portugal
and Morocco; that the burlap comes
from Scotland after having been WOW
en- from jute raised in India; that
gums necessary for the manufacture
Of linoleum are received from Austria
liza, New Zealand, Africa and Central
and South America, and that a great
deal Of the paints used come from
England, France, Germany, Belgium
and Italy?
There are several uses Of this ma
terial that probably are not known
generally. For instance, in addition
to covering floors in houses, consider
able quantities of heavy linoleums are
used on the decks of huge battleships.
Modern building construction calls
for linoleum of this grade cemented
directly on concrete floors, while 9th
er purposes for which it is used in
various weights include the covering
of running boards of automobiles,
for tops of desks and tables, particu-
larly by makers of metal furniture,
and for washers for bottles and cans.
Cork carpet is used to a large extent
as soles for bathing shoes.
Like many another thing that
bulks large in the worlds progress,
linoleum owes it's invention to the
quick-witted application of an acct
dental discovery AS is generally
died linseed oil, the oil being expos
ed to the air and absorbing oxygen,
which gradually changes it from a
| liquid to a tough, rubbery substance.
Stopping beside a bench in his
laboratory one day, Frederick Wal
! ton, who invented linoleum, happened
to pick up a piece of the skin that
had formed on some paint which had
been standing there for severaIs days.
Absent-mindedly kneading this skin
between his fingers, he was suddenly
impressed by it's tough elastic conss-
tency. His trained mind quickly
showed him that it was due to oxid-
ization, but the question was how to
! make use Of it. The experiments he
made in attempting to solve this
problem resulted in the discovery of
linoleum.
"Burlap, linseed oil, cork and pig
ments of various colors are the raw
materials of linoleum. The convert
ing of these things into linoleum of a
| really good grade requires several
months time and application of skill.
One of the preliminary processes is
the grinding Of the cork bark into a
ne, foury powder, which, when mixed
with the oxidized oil, produces a
| cement-like substance of great con-
sistency
In this process long sheets of light
cotton cloth are hung the full height
