Method Of Attack Mystery.
Or. Dean declared that owing TO the
rarity of cases where sharks have at.

their methods, nor have scientists oeen
able 20 determine whether the shark
merely bites once and leaves or whether
he remains TO devour his victim en-
tirely. The fact that in the recent
raids along the Jersey coast the sharks
appear TO have attacked only men is
ascribed by Or. Dean as being perhaps
due to the fact that women bathers are
more fully clothed than are men.
Women in bathing wear stockings,
he said, "and consequently the shark
does not detect the CLEAN of flesh in
the water. From what we have been
able TO learn of the shark. he appears

somewhat for the rarity OF attacks on

THE shark might be termed pisca-
torial battleship, as IL travels with
destroyers and scouts and torpedo
boats, in the shape of pilot fish and

THE shark, however. is by no means
the only fish which has been known
TO attack human beings and animals.
The work being done now by sharks
along this coast might be done by a
flying tuna, more popularity known as
a horse mackerel, or by a barracuda
which is much more dangerous than
shark. Yet, while this is shark year
the chances of being attacked are
about one to thousand against the
chances of accidental drowning

One of the most pleasing things we
have heard of lately is contained in
the will Of the late Andrew Freedman

an estate valued at $7,0OO,O00, the
bulk of which is to be used even

Andrew Freedman Home. It will re.
ceive aged persons in INDECENT cir
cumstances without regard to race,
sex or creed, and especially will it
care for old couples who, in the even
ing Of life might otherwise be forced
to live apart. Mr.. Freedman selected
twenty-four persons, who will be re-
quested to act as trustees of the
home. They represent various races
and religions and their selection
shows that the testator intended that
the institution should have a repre-

WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY,

WHO WILL BE FOUND WORTHY,
There is considerable speculation in
the minds Of the people all over the
country, as to who will be found
worthy to receive the "Spingarn
Medal to be awarded in this month.
The "Spingarn Medal" is a gold
medal of the value of 500, and is
awarded annually to the colored per-
son in the United States who is
deemed to have rendered the most dis
tinguished service during the year in
any field of honorable or elevated en-
deavor. The medal is given by DR..
J. E. Spingarn of the National Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Colored People and it's award may well
be considered the most distinguished
recognition one can receive in this
prejudice cursed country.
It will be remembered that the first
medal was awarded last year to Dr..
Edward E. Just a professor in Harvard
University Medical School, for dis
tinguished results in biological re-
search.

ex-president William H. Taft, Oswald
Garrison Willard, DR.. James H. Dillard.

No people on earth know better than
the colored people of this country do
what prejudice is; but Nathan Straus
in the New York Times has some idea
of it. He says:
1T is easy to create, it is hard to
destroy. Sinister of wit, it is weak oil
wisdom. It's perceptions are false. II
sees in darkness; it is blind in the
light. It nutures lies and rejects truth
Breeding hatred, it blasts sympathy
It rules those who give it life. It is
a conjured Frankenstein, dominating
millions Of men. It sits beside the
gates of life and takes toll of all that
pass.
1T is the conservator of all that rea-
son would destroy, the destroyer of
the works of justice. It is the hand
maiden Of error, the nemesis of knowl-
edge. It feeds fear and poisons hope.
1t lives by the law of the dead. It
thrives upon the meat of yesterday.
1t sickens on the sustenance of to-
day.
1T is the anarchist of the heart. It
smothers faith. It gives love to the
torch. 1t bemeans benevolence and
shuns communion. It stills the sound
OF music and palsies the hand of art.
1t betrays belief and sets suspicion on
a throne. It rejoices in tears. It's
mirth is in misery.
1T is the monster of the mind It
pollutes thought, serves despair, and
ravishes right. It offends against fact
and is stranger to logic. Its soothing
is in sophistry. It divines the unreal
and walks in the way of phantoms. It
drains the potions brewed by witches
OF the brain. It is thing of charms
and amulets.
1T is prejudice!'
