final instructions were given to his
men, Secretary Bell shook hands with
the members of the team, apportiOned
to each man his territory, sent them to
various points for the night, and the
great drive for 500 members was on.
spirit of optimism prevailed the
meeting, the team workers feeling
that nothing but success lay before
them. They were advised that nothing
but a week of hard work could accom-
plish the task to which they had set
themselves. The men felt that they
were equal to it.
This team is known as "The Buffa-
loes." Their territory extends from

Yours old friends,
NATIONAL ORGANIZER OF THE
NINE. C. J. WALKER MFG. co.
GIVES DELIGHTFUL LEG
TURE AT ZION.

Last Tuesday evening an intelligent
and appreciatiye audience listened at
tentively to Mrs. A. c. Burnett, ma
tional organizer of the Nine. c. j.
Walker Manufacturing Co., as she
gave a graphic description of the orr
gin of the firm, its gradual develop
ment and present condition, paying Il
great tribute to its founder, the late
Nine. C. J. Walker.
A number of pictures thrown on the
screen added interest to the occasion,
as the beautiful residence, villa Lew
AFRO. at Irvington- on the Hudson, with
its interior decorations, also the rae
tory and other buildings formerly pos
sessed b ythe great philanthropist OF
her race, brought back wildly to the
mind the woman whom death had
snatched from us at time when she
was so useful.
The lecturer emphasized the carry
ing out of the purposes and work of
the Walker Mfg. Co. as if the founder
had lived, and gave encouragement TO
those who contemplated taking treat
ment or becoming agents for the firm.
A great inspiration for business
seemed to have taken hold of the audi
ence, as the numerous applauses TO
the advices and suggestions offered by
the lecturer on how to become sue
cessful in the business world, proved
beyond doubt that Madam Walker
had left legacy to her race that
would be gladly accepted, and our peo-
pie having awakened to the conscious
ness of perpetuating good things would
in a larger measure and greater de-
gree give proof of their ability to
grasp and carry on. Pleasant remin-
iscences were brought about relative
to Madam Walkers struggles and per-
sistence to overcome during her early
career in Denver, and the meeting
closed with best wishes unanimously
for the further success.
Mr.. Johnson, the advance agent, was
present and introduced the lecturer,
commenting on the business after
ward.

Wicks. who died in Los Angeles, Cal,
October 10, 1919, IL vacancy has been
made that has caused untold grief by
all who knew her. Deceased was n
former resident of Denver and her

to hear of her demise. She was n
devoted companion and her home life

afflicted, a good neighbor and loyal

qualities embodied the life and char
acter of this noble woman, and while
words may be quite inadequate to fit
tingly place in the archives of ones
vocabulary of the high esteem in which
she WAS held and words may fade
from memory, but her good deeds will
live forever.

1912 and 3.3 in 1916. AS in 1913 and
1916, the deaths due to measles out
numbered those resulting from either
of the other diseases, but in 1914 anc
1915 whooping cough caused the
greatest mortality. In every year since
and including 1910, as well as in
several preceding years, measles has
caused a greater numbero deaths
than scarlet fever.
External Causes
Deaths due to external causes of
all kinds-accidental, suicidal, and
homicidal-numbered 81 ,953 in 1917
corresponding to rate of 1888 per
100000 population.
The greatest number of deaths
charged to any one accidentally cause,
lila or 14.8 per 100000 is
shown for falls. The rate for this
cause varies but slightly from year
to year.
Next to falls, the greatest number
of accidental deaths-8,649, or lis
per 100,000-resulted from railr,
accidents and injuries. This rate is
greater than the corresponding rates
for 1914, 1915 and 1916 (10.7, 90
and 11.2 respectively but is lower
that for any year from 1906-the
first year for which deaths from
this cause were reported separately
to 1913, inclusive.
Burns-excluding those recoi"ed
in conflagrations and in railroad
street car and automobile accidents
were responsible for $3.50 deaths.
or 81 per 100000. The death rate
from burns was greater than that
for the preceding year, per 100000
and was also greater than the rate
for any earlier year covered by the
Bureaus records, with the exception
of 1907.
Deaths from automobile accidents
and injuries in 1917 totaled 6,724
or 8.9 per 100000 population. This
rate has risen rapidly from year to
year, but not so rapidly as the rate
of increase in the number of auto
mobiles in use.
Accidental drowning caused $3.50
deaths, or IA per 100000. This rate
is considerably less than that for
any preceding year since 1910 and
is also decidedly be low the average
for the decade 1901-1910.
Deaths due to accidental asphyx'
iation Except in conflagrations)
numbered 1875, or As per 100000.
This rate is somewhat higher than
that for any year during the preced-
ing ten-year period.
