Maj. Robert r. Motion of Hampton
institute, Hampton, Va, was selected
to succeed Booker T. Washington as
president of Tuskegee institute,
T~uskegee, A.a., at a meeting Of the
special committee of the trustees of
the institute. The choice was unani-
nous. The committee making the Sc
lection was composed of Seth Low,
chairman of the Tuskegee trustees;
Frank Trumbull of the Chesapeake Il
Ohio railroad, Edgar A. Bancroft, w,
w. Campbell and Victor H. Tulane.
Major Motion will not be installed as
head of the famous Negro institute
until the commencement exercises in
May, 1916. Until that time he will
give his services to the campaign for
the Booker T. Washington memorial
fund.
The new head of Tuskegee has
been commandant Of cadets at Hamp-

The demands of the tourist and of
those ONE who keep pace with the
midwinter social affairs save the mil
liners workrooms from utter deser-
tion at this time. Soon they will be
filled with workers preparing for
spring, when everyone wants new
headwear. But now they are quiet, and
designers have leisure to occupy their
time with matters of ornaments for
the couture and hats for formal dress.
With the rich and beautiful fabrics
and trimming stuffs at hand, it is no
task for the designers to create the
picturesque styles they love so well.
In silk and metal laces, in malines and
furs, and wonderful flowers, they find
an inspiration.
Two of the latest models for dressy
wear are shown in the picture above.
One of them is of black chantilly lace
and black satin and is merely a softly
draped Grape or cap OF satin and a
halo of lace wired and lifted near the
front into becoming lines. A very
small nosegay of fine blossoms is
posed against the base of the crown
but the flowers are not visible in the
picture. They are just the touch o.
color and gayety that belongs on this
model.

Wool chinchilla in dark colors is
an old favorite for winter coats, and
is worn by men, women and children.
to bring out the unequaled fitness of
white chinchilla for garments in
which style is of as much Importance
as warmth, and both are essential to
success.
White chinchilla appears with ever
increasing frequency in midwinter
coats for little girls, and smart sport
coats for women. The latter are cut
in simple lines and long, like the coat
pictured, or shaped like sweater coats.
Many novel touches in little details
of finishing make them interesting,
and they are carefully and beautifully
finished.
These points are demonstrated by
the coat illustrated here very clearly.
1t has a big convertible collar which
may be buttoned up about the ears,
and the revers are faced with MORE
plush in black. Very accurate parallel
rows OF machine stitching ornament
the coat at the bottom and adorn the
collar, cuffs and pocket flaps. The
buttons are white composition barred
with black, except the two that fasten
the metal belt across the front, which
is finished with tabs of black at each
side, These buttons are black with

much. but fail to bring out the fullest
measure of those elemental qualities
that combined to make Mr.. Washing
ton the truly great man that he was.
Booker T, Washington was able in
a very positive ann to give the
demonstration of the fact that with
opportunities and proper equipments
millions Of colored people would be-
come capable of the highest mechan-
ical and Industrial training; he was
able to prove the possibility of a good
understanding and, what is MORE, of
good feeling between the white and
colored elements; he was able to
prove that the individual sacrifice,
perseverance. determination, thrift,
energy, and steadfastness are unit
builders of the useful community that
must eventually turn out of its mold
a prosperous, well-equipped people,
rightly for a good place in the world.
This is how we view the work of
Booker Washington in Liberia. West
Africa, where his name has become a
household word and the Tuskegee
model plant regarded as a valuable
asset. an object lesson for any in
dustrial effort.
l feel it my duty as n connected
with Negro advancement work in
Liberia. and deeply interested, too, in
the industrial outlook of that coun'
try, to express in behalf of my col
leagues there an appreciation for the
life and work of that great opportune
man, whose career may be briefly
summed up in the words: Veni, vidi,
vici. He really came "as one born
in due time" saw and grasped a neces.
| sity, and put into effect propaganda
| that must of necessity continue to be
a workable and progressive monument
erected for the wellbeing of the race
in America.
Mr.. Washington's death, then,
should prove to be a signal for united
thought and effort among the colored
race in America, in all those ways
that tend toward the uplift of thou
sands of the people. And to my MIND
the very best way to show apprecia
ton for and Loyalty to that devoted
son of the race would be by uniting
in encouraging and supporting in any
and every possible way that wonder

That the Negro must look to the
schools for preparation for his work
in life, and that he must erect schools
and maintain them himself, was the
declaration of DR.. A. P. Camphor,
president of Central Alabama college,
before the Central Alabama confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
church, in delivering the principal ad-
dress at the educational anniversary.
An audience that filled every available
bit of space in St. Paul's Methodist
| church at Birmingham heard his ad-
dress, which was the feature of the
days work. He pleaded for greater
interest in Negro education, paid a
high tribute to the work of the Meth
odist Episcopal church in providing
educational institutions for all people,
and showed the unmistakable duty
Of the Negro of today to help more
largely in the education of the Negro
youth.
Just what was being done at Cen
trail Alabama college, the local institu'
ton maintained by the church for Ne
groes at Mason City, was told by the
speaker. The choir from the school
rendered music for the occasion.
