WHY THE CHURCHES SUFFER

If there was some way in Portland
to cut out or even curb the many
forms of charity graft which are be-
ing worked overtime by the benefit
route, the churches would not have
such a hard time to keep. up the In
terest on their emortgages, and pay
the pastors their salaries. And the
grievous and scandalous part about
the whole shooting match is that some
of the members of the churches are
also members of this basket brigade"
and they are so near-sighted that they
cannot see the great harm and in
Jury they are doing the church. How
ever, the pastors see and know that
the band is impeding and hindering
the advancement of the church along
financial and spiritual lines, but they
dare not condemn 1t lest they lose a
few dimes or so, or perhaps a few
thin.skinned members. These people,
by their methods, are killing the
church.-The Portland (Ore.) Advo-
cate.

RECORD OF MOB VIOLENCE.
Lynehins Aeeslerates Race Migration
Says Head Of Tuskegee Institute.

Says Head Of Tuskegee Institute.
DR.. Robert r. Motion, principal Of the
Tuskegee iAla) institute; has sent out
the following, being a record Of lynch
ings for the first six months Of 1917.
DR.. Motion says: -. ...... .
II find, according to the records kept
by Monroe N. Work, head of the d.
vision of records and research Of the
Toskegee institute, that In this period
there have been fourteen lynchings.
This is eleven less than the number,
twenty five, for the first six months Of
1916 and twenty less than the number.
thirty-four, for the first six months of
1915. In ten instances, through the
bravery Of officers Of the law and by
other means, mobs were thwarted and
lynchings prevented. >.
"Of those lynched thirteen were Ne
groes, and one was white. Four Of
those put to death, one white and three
Negroes, were charged with the crime
of rape. One of those put to death
was a Negro woman, reported to have
been Of unsound mind, who in resisting
arrest wounded an officer of the law.
II gather from reading Negro news
papers and from other sources that, in
spite Of the notable decrease in the
number of victims Of mob violence for
the six months, the horrors connected
with the recent burning at the stake
near Memphis has increased among
Negroes the fear of lynchings and ac-

The Twin City Star stands for
equal rights for all American citizens.
Negroes registered like good Amer
leans. Enough said.
The Star tries to publish the news
of Negroes entirely. We know the
"war news" is interesting, but Ne
groes read and pay for the daily pa
pers, which carry the current news.
We have the exclusive right of the
plate service edited by N. B. Dodson,
a Negro, which gives US the best side
of Negro publicity. Every week
the Star has in It's columns articles Of
the race, which will never appear in
the white papers or some Negro
weeklies.

for Army Aviation has been reduced
to 10 years. Your assistance in get.
ting this information into the hands
of your best military students will be
greatly appreciated. The afr service

CHANCE TO BE BLIND IN
SELECTING DRAFT ARMY
Numbers In Tiny Capsules to Be Drawn
BY ellndfoided Person-Further
Announcement Expected.

Washington, July 11.-Chance will
be blind in selecting the new national
army to fight Germany.
The patriot who most desires to go
to the war may be passed when the
day for drawing comes, and he who
hopes most that the tiny capsule con-
tanning his number may not prove a
bitter pill" and fall into the hand
of chance, may find he has been called
to the colors.
While all the regulations to govern
the forthcoming army lottery have not
been announced, 1t has been learned
that the numbers of registered citi-
zens are to be drawn by a person
blindfolded. Who has been selected
to do the drawing is not known, but
1t probably will be some officer of
the army.

those Of the church element, especial
ly the preachers, who condone such
conditions and sin by their silence.
When the white people, who are really
interested in the welfare Of the entire
community, are asked to assist in
this campaign, it will be shown that
corruption is contagious and concerns
all classes of citizens.
The conservation of the physical and
moral forces of all nationalities are
vital, especially at this time, and 1t Is
necessary that the Negroes safeguard
their settlements in any locality with
the proper social and economic en-
vironments. There must be, and al
ways will be segregated districts.
When vice Is scattered broadcast, 1t
undermines every social structure and
adds to the corruption of youth.
The editor of the Star assumes the
burden of any responsibility placed
on the committee. This Is work
within the race and though its mem.
bership and investigations are secret,
publicity is its weapon. It does not in
tend to unnecessarily expose or accuse
any one. Those who have lived In the
twilight zone, from the church by day
to the brothel by night, can no longer
straddle these extremes. Shadow re-
speciality is a crime and curse on
the rising generation, upon which the
future Of any race depends. -.

its mission, also it's individuality, and

THE NAVY NEEDS MEN

Red-blooded, but not black-skinned.
The following is the copy sent to
Northwest papers by Lieut.. Com
mander, Jas. D. Wilson, U. S. Navy.
Mr.. American Citizen:
Do you realize that the United
States Navy is still short many thou
sands of men to properly man the
ships now building to be ready for
active war service the latter part Of
this year?
The Navy needs real men - red
blooded Americans who are willing
to do their bit for good old U. S. A.,
as did the men and boys of 1875 and
1861. Are you going to sit tight and
LET George do it" and in the future
be ashamed to answer your children
and grandchildren when they say,
Daddy, what did you do during the
great WARP, or are you going to be
in a position to say Daddy was a
Navy Volunteer, fought for this coun-
try of ours and helped to make the
blessings of Liberty secure for our
selves and our posterity, and also
helped save some of the starving
mothers and children of Europe"
Now is the time for you to step for
ward and volunteer for the Navy
always found ready when needed by
your Uncle Sam. Men of the type
of Farragut, Dewey, Lawrence, Perry
and Nathan Hale are wanted. There
are plenty of them in this city who
will make history" when they finally
volunteer. The Northwest has never
been found wanting when the Nation
needed men. Volunteer now, write
or telegraph Navy Recruiting Sta

Forks, Minot and Bismarck, N. D.
THE NEGRo's ANSWER.
Dear Uncle SAM
l realize your position for which
you are entirely responsible. l have
offered my services, but according to
your orders Negroes are not want
ed" as white men. My fathers fought
with Perry on Lake Erie, with Far
ragut at New Orleans and in Mobile
Bay. I served with Dewey at Manila
and with Sampson at Santiago, and
have never been found wanting"
other than a chance to fight for you
A thousand of my brothers are wait
ing, until you cast aside your pre-
JUDGE, and you will be compelled to
do so. The Negro Americans are
sitting tight and do not care, who
does it. Should you need them (and
you certainly willy they are ready.
Discrimination has denied them the
ability to serve you, as they would
like to; but your persecution has not
overcome their patriotism. They
are here, there. and everywhere, in
the land of their birth, the U. S. A.

Embargo and Its Consequence.

Procedure under the embargo powers
conferred by the espionage act, as now
made known by Presidential proclama-
ton to take effect tomorrow night, is
calculated seriously TO disturb only
two interests outside of Germany. One
is that of our own foodforestallers.
The other is that of European neutrals
who affect to tremble under repeated
blows from the mailed fist while they
fatten on feeding Germany with Amer
lean supplies or their domestic equi-
Yalents.
The first of these interests will no
longer be able to justify abnormally
high prices through assertions of an
unregulated and unknown export de-
mand. That demand will now be regu-
lated and known on the instant. The
second Of these interests may con-
tinue to tremble but not to fatten on
feeding Americas enemy with Amer
ican supplies.
AS a war measure, this proclaimed
embargo with specially licensed ex-
ports hereunder is of the very first
Importance. Its reach is now given
in detail. Its consequence to the
enemy will develop as we go along
New York World.

THE MODERN KING ARTHUR.

Arthur Klein, King of dirt track
drivers. Arthur won this title at the

semi-centennial celebration, held June
l.. He hung up a new record for the
25-mile distance on a dirt track by
completing the course in 80 minutes
Al seconds. Klein clipped a fiat two
minutes from the previous figures
made by Bill Endicott.
Both drivers have been using Dixon's S
Graphite Automobile Lubricants regu-
larly. When records are broken it's
generally a case of a Dixon-lubricated
car bowling to another Dixon-lubri-
Gated car, for the great majority Of
the noted speed boys use Dixon's and
the winners are almost always Dixon
disciples. Dixon's gives friction no
quarter and, when a car is Dixon

partment.

DORT CAR wins Prize
in ENDURANCE TEST
Makes 370-Mile Run on l4Lz Gal
Ions of Gasoline.

In a field Of fourteen well known
cars. classified into three groups
based on price, the bort has carried
away the big honors In an extra
ordinary gasoline economy run from
Los Angeles to Camp Curry In the
Yosemite National Park, a distance
of 80 miles.
Over this stretch Of country the
little bort consumed but II and one
half gallons OF gas, an average of
1886 miles per gallon being made.
Its nearest competitor, a car weigh
ing ten pounds less, consumed one
gallon more than the bort.
Speaking Of this record, NJ. A.
Leach, of the Leach Motor Car Com
pany, distributors for the bort, says:
I'VE had every reason to believe the
bort would set even a higher record
for economy, but I understand the
heat in the valley throughout the run
was terrific and this, of course. means
less power and greater consumption
OF fuel. I have never been over the
run from Merced to Yosemite, but ]
understand there are some pretty
stiff climbs. These, OF course, would
also cut down mileage average, as II
Is necessary to do a considerable
amount of low gear work. 1t is
such runs as these that actually prove
the worth of a car, as in competition
with an open field, it gives the public
an impartial comparison, and we well
come more such tests in which to
enter the bort.
L. ]. Burrud, who drove the car,
| is not stunt driver. but is a pro-
ducer of a motion picture production
called Motor Pictorial" The car not
only contained himself and observer
but his complete outfit.

{ IN AUTO Making
Peerless Laboratories Are Basis of
Great Manufacturing Plant.

TO students Of the automobile in
dnstry, the thought must come,
How little does the average spec
tator appreciate the study, the skill
snd the experience necessary to pro-
duce each one OF those beautiful Of
ferings?" The average person is
prone to consider the car as a unit
It's countless details pass unnoticed.
For example, how few show visitors
peuse to observe that for every steel
part used in the motor car, there
sfe two distinct steps necessary in its
rFoduction, requiring most costly ex-
periments which must be observed IL
that car Is to even approach its
maximum efficiency.
Sat the outset of the automobile in
dlIstry. the science OF heat-treatment
was obviously in its infancy. These
conditions caused the Peerless Com
pany, at great expense. to equip
lsooratories most thoroughly with the
necessary apparatus not only to make
commercial determinations but also
fpr the purpose of scientific investi-
gations into the properties and treat
rnent OF steel, so that the best mater
tals could be selected and the maxi
mum benefit secured from their use.
samples OF every known kind of
modern steel was obtained by the
company. A canvas was made of the
leel manufacturers in America and
EUROPE, bar OF every type OF steel
vas purchased and more than $40
varieties in all were received and
tested.
ssThe first step was a complete
ehemical analysis OF each bar. The
sxact temperatures at which changes
N the steel structure take place are
spoken of as critical points" The
critical point determinations were
piade Of each bar Of steel, with the
result that six distinct temperatures
were obtained at which some i'm
Bortant change took place in the
structure. Results were obtained to
an accuracy Of 21-2 degrees. and
rtecessitatsd the examination of, ap-
nroximately, 1000 specimens under a
microscope capable of magnifying
10000 areas. 1t has been said that
there never was an undertaking in
the laboratories Of the universities or
in. Industrial plants, concerning the
Critical points of steel temperatures,
which was as exhaustive as this one.
AFTER the preliminary investiga-
tons We're completed twenty-five
test pieces were taken from each bar
o. steel, and each piece was given
heat treatment in a different wav
depending upon its critical tempera-
