ceipt Have you been by the new
building at 1926 Forest Ave, and wit
messed the wonderful and beautiful
improvements that have been made
by our contractor? Every Negro in
the city and our White friends as
well will be proud of this beautiful
and imposing stone structure that is
to be the future home for those of the
race needing Hospital attention. The
Ladies Auxiliary No. 1 has already
purchased and are making more than
$4,000 worth of linen supplies for
the institution paid for out of funds
raised by them; while every room
save one in the hospital has been Sc
lected by the different Women's Clubs
of the City to be completely furnish

spirit? 1t amply demonstrates that

NEGRO SHIP BUILDERS WIN WORLD RECORD

with shipbuilding. If a bridge of ships
will enable, our soldiers to go over,
to be fed and our allies to have sup
plies, the Negro will have a large
share in building those ships. Mr..
Knight is our one of thousands of
Negro shipworkers. At Newport News
Yards alone there are about 5000 en-
ployed
Commenting on this performance of
work the Washington Times of May 18
said: Not many months ago German
propagandists were spreading the
story that the colored people of the
South, even as far North as this city,
were preparing to revolt against the
Government and do what they could
to hinder the work of the war.
Day before yesterday there was a
revolution, but it was not the kind
the Germans planned. Charles Knight
colored, and seve ncolored helpers
turned upside down every record that
had even been made for driving rivets
into the hulls of ships.
This is the kind of a revolution the
colored men of this country are carry
ing on.
That is the kind Of a revolution
they may be depended on to carry on
to the end of the war.
Foreman Knight set an excellent
example of efficiency to every citizen
of the country, whether he be black or
white.

 Many of the members gave expla- nations of their vote, most of them being opposed to adjourning just be- cause the money appropriated for the expenses of the convention was eX- hausted. They wanted to stay even if they had to pay their own expenses, and complete their patriotic duty.
 The farmer and the small banks of the state were praised highly by the speakers on the committee report on banking and insurance, which favored the old constitution on interest and uSury. Mir Warnock sought to reduce the rate to & per cent, and Mir. Me Clintock offered an amendment to not only reduce the legal rate of interest to per cent, but assess a penalty double the interest for usury. He afterwards raised the limit to 10 per cent when so many had talked about what the change would mean to the small bank and the farmer The con venton did not like his usury plat form, preferring to forfeit interest as well as principal where usury is prac- tced. The McClintock amendment was defeated 28 to 64, and the War mock amendment followed, 30 to 61, but in this vote 20 who had voted in the negative on that offered by MT. McClintock changed to age, and r ayes for the McClintock measure vot- ed adversely on this The committees recommendation was adopted 66 to 27.
 The balance of the afternoon was spent in a discussion of the proposal to make two counties out of Clay. one to be named after President Wilson. Mir. Bloodworth who proposed this change, is a Republican. but in his speech he begged for the honor of having named the county lauding President Wilson, and saying he was Democrat if being a follower of President Wilson changed mans politics. Mir Evans renewed his ef- forts to have Logan county made into two counties, and when the conven

PLEASURE VS. DUST

T. ;sn,t what we are getting out of I;fo that satisfies our longlngs for ,,loosure and happiness, but this de- nonds. very largely, on what we think we are getting out of life. When we .olo our family and friends out for a r;do over the dusty streets and roads, we evidently imagine we are reaping scores of pleasure in ploughlng +brough this fog of dust, and of course our imagination has all to do with 1t. Bnt have just been wondering Ii we oouIdn't turn our imagination around, and instead of imagining that we are cetting so much pleasure in flying oround through the heat and dust, that we could actually realize that we are inhaling and eating this foul dirt and dust from the streets and high
 ways. where stock have been travel ing for years and years, resulting in colds catarrh, sore tbroats and other diseases. Then again, l have wond- cred if we couldn't permit our imag- ming faculties to work little in favor of our neighbors and friends who live near these dusty streets and thorouphfares, who must also inhale and eat this foul dust and dirt, hand ed to them by the passing automobiles
 We have learned great many valuable lessons of thrift and econ omy since the beginning of the war; why cant we extend this lesson of economy to the use of automobiles, and especially during the dry, dusty weather? Even if we do actually get some pleasure in ploughing around through this dust, out of consideration for our neighbors, who suffer so much from the great clouds of dust, aren't we willing to reduce automobile travel to a minimum just for their benefit? The so-called business auto mobile traffic (which is not all busi- ness) could also be considerably re- duced without injury to any one. Yes, the argument will be made that all automobile owners will not comply with this request This is doubtless true. So are there great number of people who decline to do their part in

OF
 THE CONVENTION
Discuss Proposal to Fix Rate of Interest and Penalty For US- ery-Delegates Opposed to Adjourning.

Little Rock, July 26.-Again Thurs day the constitutional convention took up hour after hour in the discussion of a proposal and ended by the adop- ton of the constitution of 1874, so far as 1t referred to that subject. This was with reference to the rate of in terest that shall be legal in Arkansas and the penalty for usury.
 After this decision had been reach ed the convention took for the first time a resemblance to an Arkansas legislature and one of the old time resolutions for an extended session. This resulted from a resolution intro juced by Delegate Evans, calling at tention to the funds provided for the convention being about expended, and providing for an adjournment until the first Monday in July, 1919, by which time the legislature could either make an additional appropriation or dissolve the convention. Mir. McClel- land moved to amend by holding on one day longer and adjourning. Mir. Daugett offered a motion that if re- cess was taken and the legislature failed to provide for the continuation of the convention, that each member
