The movement to provide a $1,000
900 endowment fund for Tuskegee
institute as a memorial to Booker T.
Washington, has been brought to the
notice of indianapolis by a committee
which met recently at the colored
Y. NJ. C. A. 1t is desired that at
least $25O,OOO of the endowment be OBJ
tanned from colored people throughout
the United States. The committee
organized in this city formed subscrip-
tion teams. Contributions were asked
only from the colored people, although
any person desiring to participate in
the general fund might do so by send
ing a subscription direct to the col
ored Y. NJ. C. A. 1t was hoped by the
committee that at least $4,000 would
be raised among the Negroes of In
dianapolis. Receipts were given for
all amounts, and S. or more entitled
the subscriber to a certificate of rec
ognition from Tuskegee. The commit
tee ought to experience no great diff
ficulty in obtaining considerably more
than $4,000 from the colored people
of indianapolis. The city contains a
great many of this race, not a few
of whom have been successful in bust
ness or the professions. Indianapolis

Masculine and Feminine Sins.

Hardly n priest. hardly any ply
stefan. would agree that women are
better morally than men. There are
some kinds of sin which men commit
readily than m Such are
the sins Of lust, and possibly those
of anger. But there are others where
men and women seem to offend about
equally. the sins of gluttony, sloth, and
co~vetousness. And OF the sins of
pride and envy, n might call them
pre-eminently feminine sins. bernard

has encouraged education among the
colored folk, and this should encour-
age support of a memorial to Doc
tor Washington. Tuskegee institute
stands today largely as the product
of his zeal and devotion to the
cause. The memorial fund will be
needed to continue the good work. In
dianapolis, or. at least Indiana, has
contributed to the teaching staff of
Tuskegee. Colored teachers trained
in the public schools of this state
have not infrequently followed their
profession elsewhere. Doctor Wash

Beauty Hints.

Careless washing and imperfect dry
ing are the eason for more red, un-
slightly hands than anything else. The
slightest dampness of the skin in cold
weather will make the hands chap
and crack. Hot water should not be
used more than once a day at most
for washing the hands. and then they
should be rinsed In cold.
At night. before retiring, when the
hands have been well washed and
dried, rub In a fair quantity of a good
cold cream or camphor ice. Then

THREE GOOD GAMES TO MAKE.

There isn't much work to the max
ing of a c~heckerboard like that shown
in Figs. 1 and 2.
Twelve inches and one-quarter
square is a good measurement to
use. This provides for 81 squares
each one inch and one-half in size
and a margin of one-eighth Inch
around the outside. 1t is better to
use cardboard than wood, because OF
its lightness, and If you will hinge two
pieces together as in Fig. 2, the check

To prevent the cardboard from warp

find some way to give us better
schools. Our white people can usually
find a way for anything they think is
really worth while, but they must be
convinced that it is worth while and
nobody can do better than the Negro
teacher, and no one demonstrated this
more conclusively, more effectively
or more beautifully than the man in
whose memory we are gathered to-
gether.
I'VE, as teachers must, first Of all,
live clean, honest, industrious, I'M
selfish lives. We are living in an
era when we are expected to practice
what We preach. Let us take a firm
stand for morality, and set our faces
like flint against the loaing, worth
less element in the Negro race Let
us follow Doctor Washington in teach
ing the members of our race the neces-
sity of decent living, and the beauty
and dignity of labor. For, indeed, we
have more to fear from the lazy, shift
less, ignorant, criminal Negro than
from any race prejudice in Alabama.
And let us remember that in the solu-
ton of the race problem, a large meas
ure depends upon us, and practical,
Christian education will be one Of our
most forceful and helpful mediums for
good"
In closing his address Principal Mo-
ton made an earnest appeal to the
white people for their continued CO.
operation and support in helping the
Negro in Alabama carry out the wise,
unselfsh program formulated by Book
er Washington. This appeal was eff
fectively emphasized by the story of
DR.. John White of Atlanta, given be-
fore the National Negro Business
league, in which Principal Motion
urged that the white people who had
a firm, definite hold on civilization,
would not cut the rope from the Ne
gro whose grasp was so indefinite and
uncertain. My people," said he, need
your kindly advice and criticism
your religious and moral instruction,
and your help and protection in all
that makes development"
