plosives We're in active condition. kept
the city passably noisy last night.
There are plenty OF nOise-makers on
sale this year. a strong contrast to last
years scarcity Of holiday ammunition.
The prices are double what they were
last year. Where prices remain the
same, it Is sorrowfully learned that
appearances are deceptive and the con-
tainer Is containing half the quantity
Of last year.
The carbide has become a strong
rival with the frecracker FOR the favor
OF the boys. A little carbide will make
a tremendous amount Of noise. Spark
lers come In red and green, as well as
white lights this year. There has
been tremendous sale OF Roman
candles, snakes, colOred lights and
other small fireworks, safe to set OF
at home. Canes retain their popularity

The curb markets were jammed with
shoppers today. but the unanimous
verdict was that the prices were
simply awful" Eggs were 80 cents
to 50 cents a dozen, butter 50 cents TO

30 cents a box, but why continue:
There IS hope held out that another

NEGRO RACE DEMANDS
 EQUALITY OF RIGHTS
Advocate Strong Organiza- ton to Compel Privileges
 of Citizenship.

New York, May 14.-"Negroes
 of the United States are awakening
 to the need of organization to assure them the guarantees and privileges of citizenship at present denied then," according to the annual report of the national association for the advance ment of colored people made public today. Throughout the country S5
 new branches and 34,17O members, largely colored, were added to the or ganization or, an increase of 375 per cent. in members, or over 100 per cent. in the number of branches. ' The association is striving to be- come so strong in numbers and so effective in methOd' says the report, that no president, no governor nor the south, no member of congress of
 any party and no mayor of a city will dare to commit any indignity against
 colored people without realizing that
 the legitimate and constitutional rights of the race will be defended in the press, on the platform, at the ballot box and in the courts''
 The report states that the war de-
 partment in several instances failed to provide redress for colored officers subjected to indignity in the south de- spite efforts of the association. Employment discrimination against negroes in government departments in Washington also was reported. "It is the belief, as result of in vestigatiOns." says the report, "based upon experience and proof that it is the settled policy at present of many of the heads of the federal depart ments to discriminate against colored people. The policy of the civil ser vice commission in requiring photo graphs of applicants permits of color discrimination in an easy way and is followed by many of the departments. The reports of the associa tion's fight against lynching show that 67 persons were lynched in 1918, of whom 4 ! were white men and 5 were colored ! women. Among the offenses charged against the victims of lynchings were: ! "creating disturbance,' 'stealing hogs" one case of taiding mob vic tim to escape,' and six of "conspiracy to avenge killing of relative.' Four teen lynchings occurred following charges of he murder of civilians" i" and four on charges of Shooting and wounding.'
 "In three cases of which we have record,'' says the report, the press 1 has spoken of the innocence of 1 victims.'

Montauk Point, N. Y, May 1.-The navy dirigible C-5 left here today on flight to St. Johns, N. F., which may be followed, if the coastal perform ance proves satisfactory, by an at tempt to fly across the Atlantic.
 Takes to Air at a. m.
 The balloon took the air at a. m. and promptly attained her maximum cruising speed of 50 miles an hour, which was expected to drive the big bag" over the 1900 mile course to Newfoundland in A hours.
 Under command of Lieut.. Com mander Emery w. Coil; the C-5 took a northeast course expected to carry her over the naval air station at Chat ham, Mass, and thence along the New England and Canadian coasts to St. Johns. There lighter-than- ex- perts put ashore from the cruiser Chicago with spare parts, tools and supplies of imitation gas and fuel await the "blimp," ready to assist in prepar- Ing her for a possible 2,O00 mile non- stop cruise to the British isles.
 May Take 13OO-NiIe Hop.
 There was a possibility also, naval officers said, that the route of the NC heavier -than-air machines via the Azores might be followed reducing the longest jump to approximately 1900 miles by making a stop at Punta Del gadO. Adoption of this route would give the dirigible the benefit of the warship patrol established for the seaplanes, the plan being to start the C-5 on her eastward passage after the NC expedition has reached Europe or at least has completed the Newfound- land to Azores leg of it's cruise.
 When the CF-5 took the air a south wind was blowing at 5 miles an hour.
