Efforts Of the Negro Organization So.
eisty Receiving Hearty Support.
By N. BARNETT DoDsoN,

BY N. BARNETT DODSON.
One of the most helpful and infuen
hal agencies for advancement In edu
cation, business and social service II
Virginia is the Negro Organization so
ciety, of which Major Allen Washing
ton of the Hampton institute is presi
dent. Through the efforts Of this or
ganization and the cooperation of the
people Of the rural districts the terms
Of many Of the county schools have
been heightened, better prepared teach
ers secured and better schoolhouses
provided.
The work of the society Is both edu
cadonal and philanthropic. 1t has
actually taught the people how to help
themselves in the matter of guarding
against disease, owning their homes
and securing funds for longer school
terms. During its brief existence OF
about four years the society has made
it possible for the white people of the
various communities to see and know
more of the handicap under which the
colored people labor-their struggles,
aspirations and achievements. Thus
the two races have come to know each
other better, and this has brought
about more friendly feeling between
the rural masses Of both races In the
state.
1t is the aim of the organization So
ciety to have every secret or mutual
benefit society or club become mem
bers Of the one general body, just as
the churches of the various religious
denominations belong to one general
conference, convention or assembly.
Upon the same principle as the
churches the societies may hold mem
berships in the organization society
without losing their individuality By
this method the spirit Of cooperation
and mutual helpfulness is felt through
out the state.
Besides the efficient leaders among
the colored people who are officials and
workers in the society, there are many
able influential and broadminded white
persons who are cooperating heartily
in the work. Major Washington was
elected to the presidency at the an
nual meeting Of the society held at
Roanoke, Va. in November, 1916. He
succeeded DR.. Robert II. Motion, who
had to decline reelection on account
of his duties as principal of the Tuske-
gee institute. Major Washington is
keeping the work steadily before the
people Of Virginia and is formulating
plans for an effective spring campaign
in the state.

Dorchester, Mass, Jan. Il, 1917
Dear Friends-I have been during the
last four weeks critically Ill with pneumo-
mia and walking In 1.-The Valley Of the
Shadow Of Death"-I am glad 10 say y
walking in 1t and not through it-and
am writing these lines to express my deep
est gratitude for the prayers offered for
me in the colored churches and homes OF
my friends in Greater Boston.
There are two sides to the equation
when one has day and a night nurse. a
physician calling two or three times Il
day, q pneumonia specialist from the city
and a tank of oxygen in adjoining
room ready for sudden use. 1t Is difficult
to say how much of a recovery Is due to
human skill and how much to prayer, but
I firmly believe that prayers offered by
those who have the ear of God affect the
result. Many such live in humble homes
and are unknown to the world. but l be-
lieve that prayer moves the hand that
moves the world"
suppose those who believe in segrega-
ton will agree that prayer Is colorless-
that there is no such thing as black pray
ers and white prayers. 1t is almost worth
while to have been SO sick for the sake
of receiving such evidences Of love and
affection and appreciation were sent to
me and which I was only able to have
read to me during the last few days.
During my sickness thought Of Tenny-
sons lines:
"And may there be no moaning of the bar
When put out to sea-"
I am glad to have struck some blows for
equality and only wish they had been
harder. Let each of be found with
his face to the foe. fighting for freedom
and equal rights, and then when the last
hour comes each one of us will have un-
derneath him the everlasting arms and
can say:

When have crossed the bar"
May / ask all who were kind enough
to remember me to receive this expression
of my gratitude in pln0e Of a personal
acknowledgment. Sincerely,

blasphemous as he became drunken,

"You oughtn't to talk that way be-

aluminium RACER
USED BY 0LDFIELD
Dean of Auto Speeders Has Novel
Car Built.

Fifteen years Of auto racing have
won for Barney Oldfeld the title of
Dean Of the Auto Racers" At the
very beginning OF his career on the
speedway, Oldheld sprang into popu-
larity and became the idol of small
boys and the admiration of sport fans,
because OF his unfailiRg nerve, con-
sistency and good Judgment.
Barney never took unnecessary
risks. His life and the lives of the
others at the track were always his
first consideration. This year his car
body is entirely rooted over so that II
the machine turns the driver cannot
be injured. The car is built OF alumni
mum and is egg-shaped. Sport writ
ers have dubbed it the Golden Sub
marine"
AS a further guard against accident,
Oldfield has adopted Firestone Cord
Tires. More than seven years ago
Oldfield began using Firestone tires,
and although he has changed machines
frequently, he has always stuck TO
Firestones On his car he carries a
banner reading "Firestone tires my
only life insurance"

Valuable Suggestions
To Those Who Drive Cars

Before you start: Look to the water,
oil and fuel supply.
Take your time in shifting gears:
your car will be better for it.
Use both brakes; the lining will last
longer.
Shift on a steep hill; you are doing
your car a favor
Never look down at the pedals or
gear lever; it may result in serious
mishap.
Coast the car over road irregulari-
ties; it conserves engine power.
Don't brake with the clutch in when
going slow; you might throw the
crank shaft out of line.
Avoid excessive slipping of the
clutch; the lining or plates will need
less attention.

IDENATURED ALCOHOL

The possibilities offered by the use
Eof denatured alcohol a. fuel for in
ternal combustion motors furnishes
today one Of the most interesting In
dustrial problems and opens q line Of
investigation in which governments
and motor owners are equally inter-
ested. says Q writer In q recent issue
OF American Motoriss.
The most important result of inves-
legations carried on by the United
States Geological Survey is contained
in the evidence that properly designed
internal combustion motors using al
cohol or gasoline will consume about
an equal volume OF fuel per unit Of
power. The averages of the mimi
NUNS of consumption values give a
like figure Of eight-tenths Of a pint
per hour per brake horsepower for
gasoline as well as for alcohol. In
this comparison It is of decided in

cohol 10 only about one-half that of
gasoline Of present day standard
a fact which explains the persistence
of the experimenters better than any
thing else.
The manufacture OF Industrial al
cohol itself presents no difficulty. The
obstacles in the way of a more gem
eral adoption of alcohol as motor fuel
lie in the difficulty to find a raw ma
terial that can be procured sufieient-
ly cheap to render the making of
denatured alcohol for fuel use profit
able. At the present time most OF
the materials that have furnished
denatured alcohol heretofore, such as
grains. potatoes, melons. beets, etc,
find a ready sale in the food market
at prices too high to permit their
use as a basis for alcohol
The question, then, Is to discover a
substitute so cheap as to make the
manufacture of denatured alcohof
cheap enough to compete with the
fuels now existing.
The Department OF Agriculture has
taken a commendable interest in the
question by instructing the public IN
methods Of manufacturing alcohol out
of corncobs, refuse from canning fac
tories. cactus. sawdust. etc.
When the government regulations
are made SO liberal that denatured
alcohol can be manufactured and sold
as are most other commodities,
great point will have been gained by
those in favor of this development.
From the foregoing 1t should not be
