And let me say to you men and wom-
en- who are having the special honors
of graduates conferred upon you, that
your responsibility increases with your
advantages. In proportion as you have
been lifted in the scale of human in
telligence, by just so much have your
responsibilities to the public increased,
and you owe it to the people to adver-
tise the wonderful opportunities Of
fered by the night school and the
great need for every man and woman
who otherwise has not had the chance
to do so, to take advantage of this op-
portunity to better prepare themselves

Chihuahua City, Mex, July 20
A band of Villistas attacked train
on the Mexican Northwestern railway
near Santa Ysabel, 1bout fifty miles
west of here, according to Il report
to Gen. Trevino. The bandits were
beaten off and eight of them who
were captured were brought here for
trial by court-martial. The band was
said to number less than a score.
Gen. Trevino announced that Gen.
Ramos pursued the bandits into a
district in which facilities for tele-
graphic communication are few. The
exact location of the government
forces he did not disclose.
Later dispatches from Ojinaga said
that Capt. A V. Anderson, command
ing the American garrison at Pre-
sidio, Tex, has assured Col. Riojas OF
the preparedness of his command in
the event of Villista attack upon
the American border.
Gen. Trevino ordered that Santiago
Ramierez, formerly Villista governor
a result of his recent conviction by
court-martial of several murders, al
though numerous appeals for Glenn
ency have been received, especially
from women, in Saltillo.
Dispatches were received from Car
rama authorizing that every guaran-
tee of protection be given the Alva.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Six government sol.
diers were killed in the Villista at
tack upon a Carranzista supply train
at Palomas, Chihuahua, according to
private dispatches here. The dis
patches conflicted with previous re-
ports from Chihuahua City, which in.
dicated the attack took place.
Other reports reaching here said
that a band of about fifty outlaws,
under Nicolas Hernandez, also is
operating in the vicinity of Palomas
which is twenty-three miles south
teen miles east of Santa Ysabel.
Gen. Francisco Gonzales, command
ing the Juarez garrison, announced
that he had received dispatches from
Chihuahua City saying that numbers
of the Villista bands, scattered after
the Jiminez fight, have been attempt
ing to rejoin the main command, but
have been prevented by government
troops who Lave engaged and defeat
ed several small detachments, cap
turing numbers of prisoners.
State Department officials said at
Washington they had no information
as to when Gen. Pershing's troops
would be withdrawn from Mexico, in
dicating that this was a military
question entirely in the hands of the
War Department. Supplies are now
being sent in.

The Ven. Floyd Keeler in the Liv-
ing Church of March II, in an article
entitled "1he Church's Mission Among
Afro-Americans," expresses surprise
that Bishop Darst's plan of a separate
racial district for Negroes in the
South, presided over by white bish-
op, has excited so little comment. The
difficulty with this plan is fundamen-
tai and would suit no one, least of all
the Negroes themselves. 1 repeat here
what 1 have said to my own diocesan
council, 'that no white man can work
effectively or satisfactorily among
race that he cannot visit socially"
large part of bishops influence and
success comes from social contact with
his people. AS chief shepherd over
the flock his relations to his people
must necessarily be something more
than official. The Negro is therefore
perfectly right in asking for bishop
of his own race, one who can visit
him socially and break bread at his
table as well as represent him in the
general councils of the church and at
all industrial and educational gather
ings of his people. This white man
could never do.
The plan of q separate racial mis-
sionary district with Negro bisAop
in charge having full powers of juris-
diction evidently finds favor in the
eyes of Mr.. Keller, who cites with ap-
proval the apostolic precedent that In
the early church the gospel of the cir
cumcision was committed to St. Peter,
and the mission to the GentileS to st.
Paul, and that this involved division
of labor and authority in the same ter
ritory. But we would remind him that
this was done long before the days of
settled diocesan episcopate and
could hardly be cited as precedent to
guide us now. The hard, stubborn fact
with which history confronts us is
that not since the days of diocesan
bishops has the church ever been di-
vided on racial lines. The idea that
bishop should ever be called upon to
surrender part of his flock because
some of his sheep were black or brown
or some other color Is an absolutely
new proposition and entirely at vari-
ance with the whole teaching of the
catholic church for nearly two thou
sand years. To do so Is to surrender
the catholic ideal of one bishop zone
father in God" over one undivided
family in God. Make the family small,
If you please, limit your bishop to
single city If necessary, but when you
make him bishop and give him juris-
diction he is the bishop of every liv-
ing man, woman and child in his dio-
cese. whether they acknowledge his
authority or not.-Bishop of South
Carolina.

largely as result of the work of the

the Houston schools have taken much
interest in the Industrial arts courses.
There are three manual training teach
ers in the city. r. NJ. Catchings is
the teacher of the night school, and
two Others divide their time among
the ward schools. Mary ]. Holden is
at the head of the domestic science
department.
r. M. Catchings was graduated
from the Prairie View State Normal
and Industrial college and later he
pursued a postgraduate course at
Bradley Polytechnic at Peoria, Ill.
Later he made an inspection of man
ual training and Industrial art schools
in st. Louis and Chicago.
Manual training in our Houston
schools" said Mr.. Catchings, sis in
cluded in all the courses from the
fourth grade through the high school,
and every boy student passing through
these grades is compelled to take the
course, while the girls passing through
the same grades are compelled to take
domestic science and domestic art in
order that they may be taught the es-
sentials of taking care of homes prop
erly.
Manual training gives the boys the
fundamental ideas about handling the
tools. We want to teach the boys the
underlying principles of the trades. We
endeavor to give them ideas about de-
signs and try to raise their tastes. In
doing this we bring to the boys mind
that there is great advantage in
skilled labor. All the manual train
ing work is done according to me-
chanical drawings made by the stu
dent, and in this way the student is
compelled to have u certain thing in
view.
MARY ]. Holden, the teacher of do
nestle art and domestic science in the
high school, is graduate of Tuskegee
institute. In these classes the girls
are taught the essentials of cooking,
launderying and proper care of the
home.
''In way our work will be slow but
even in ten years the things we are
teaching in the schools in Houston will
be readily observed in the Negro race.
Our people will be better citizens, more
able to help themselves and they will
make greater impression on the white
people as well as the colored race of
Houston.
This occasion is evidence that the
leading men and women of Houston
and what is true here is becoming true
generally all over the country-believe
that education makes the Negro bet
ter citizen by making of him more
useful citizen. That is n logical and
very evident fact. 1t is the ignorant,
die Negro who causes most of the dis
turbance. And what is true of the
Negro is largely so among all races.
1t is the least intelligent among any
people that are hardest to control, and
for this reason education everywhere
is receiving a new impetus-whethe
1t is education of the head or of the
hands. One is impossible without the
other, to greater or less degree The
intelligent man Just won't be idle. He
will employ his time to some profitable
end and therefore has no time for evil
contemplations. On the other hand.
Ignorance breeds Incidence, Incidence
induces idleness and idleness leads to
crime.
"With the night school open In ad-
dition to the excellent public day
schools there is no reason why, within
a few years, every Negro-old and
young-in the city of Houston should
not make of himself or herself bet
ter and more useful man or woman

Darker and Beauty
Faded Hair.

That beautiful, even shade o. dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brewing
mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Your hair is your charm. 1t makes or
mars the face. When It fades, turns
gray, streaked and looks dry, wispy
and scraggly. just an application or
two OF Sage and sulphur enhances its
appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store so
cent bottle of "Wythe's Sage and Sui
phur Compound" ready to use. This
can always be depended upon to bring
back the natural color, thickness and
lustre of your hair and remove dand-
ruff, stop scalp itching and falling hair
Everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell it
has been applied. You simply dampen
songe or soft brush with 1t and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application 1t becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and abun-
dant-Adv.
