Collect Minerals

Many boys have tried to mount
specimens of small birds and game
but always gave it up in despair
because the stuffed" specimens
were not life like, head set crooked,
leg curled up, or some other notice
able error.
Some have tried collecting but
terflies, only few of the bugs"
being found in one locality, and the
collector must send extra speci-
mems of what he has to others in
different parts Of the world or buy
them. After they are killed, noun
ted and dried, they must be put
away in eases or drawers. If they
are exposed to air they easily de-
cay and insects destroy them.
Collecting minerals and fossile
are about the easiest. both being
found in almost any locality. A
strong bag. hammer and chisel are
the only tools needed. Rocks can
be found along streams which will
form q large variety. Plain. ordi-
nary looking rocks may be pretty
crystals. Some may be agates.
Many common commercial stones
such as granite. marble. etc. may
be shown in natural and finished
state.
Lastly mineral specimens need
not be put in cases or drawers, but
they can be put ON shelves or any
convenient place. All the speci-
mems must be numbered and have
a blank book with the same num-
bers in It, This is just for the sci
entific value. For instance a piece
of sulphur ore didn't look to be Of
much value, but il the book read:
"Collect0r- Locality
Naples. Italy. Used for Gunp0wd-
er. sulphur. etc" you would have
a little interest in il.
Any rock your book should de-
scribe As follows:
Common name ................
Scientific name ................
Collector ........... .........
Locality ................. 800.
Used for .................
Written BY Memo.

Once upon time there were
two kings, one was cruel and the
other was good. One of the kings
had two daughters and the other
Just one and the king that had
only one daughter didn't like her,
but the king that had two daugh-
ters loved them and said they
were the best in the world, and
would not let them do anything,
but sit on a pillow and eat straw
berries and cream. But the other
king made his daughter sweep the
kitchen and cook his dinner.
One day he came to her and said
You are not good enough for my
palace. Go! Here is box. Take
it and never come back. Go, |
say, go."
The poor girl did not know what
to do, but knew she must go, so
she went away with the box and
wandered around in the forest till
she was sleepy and found a hollow
tree. She got inside and opened
the box her father gave her and
there she found a whole lot of jew
els. She closed it and went to
steep and didn't wake Mp till morn-
ing. Then when morning came she
got Up and went ON her way to

Toseha, An Artist

tain class of wonderful people SET
somehow far apart from us? Oh'
no. They are not really that way
at all. They are just as human as
you are, only they have a different
purpose and a different plan OF lie
than yours, and they work very
hard to make this plan a success.
An artist does not spend his time
| dreaming. If he hears more oeau-
tiful sounds than we. it is because
he has studied and practised music
| for so long that his ears can more
easily catch wonderful harmonles,
than we with our often dull ears.
An artist begins early. and he works
very hard each day, and he loves
his work.
Many of the artists that are ap'
pearing in America now are young
Russians or Jews. A great num-
Der of these are viOliniSts. one,
Toscha Seidel, who has been play
ing in concerts since April, 1915
is only nineteen years old. He was
born in Odessa, Russia, in 1900 and
played concertos in public when he
was only eight years old. When he
was twelve years old, he became
pupil of Leopold Auer. the great
Russian violinist and teacher. And
this was. indeed, a great compll-
ment to Toscha's ability. His first
big concerts were given in Nor
way and Sweden in 1916 and 1917,
and everywhere the people loved
TO hear him play.
People who have heard him play,
and who have talked to him, find
him a sincere young fellow, an ear
nest worker, and believer in the
beautiful ideals of life.
He can already speak English
very well, though he has only been
in America ABOUT fifteen months.
Fake Violin Causes Wild Distress.
And this is the way Toscha first
learned to play, as he himself
tells us:
ut began something like this.
An uncle played the violin indeed
very well. listened and watched,
tiny tot that I was. Then with
two sticks of wood | began to imi-
tate his movements. | was always
saving away on this imaginary VIC
lin. My parents did not favor this
proclivity in me; they did not want
me to be violinist; my mother in
particular was very much against
the idea of wonder children; she
didn't want me to be exploited as
one. But | kept On with my saw
ing on two sticks. They discov-
cred had a very correct ear for
tone, and could tell if my uncle did
not play in tune. So, as birth
day gift. someone gave me a toy
violin. My Joy was unbounded, IN
til l tried to tune my new treas
ure, when ! discovered it would
not tune properly. Then my joy was
changed to grief so acute that
someone rushed to the drug store
to find something to quiet me.
After that he was allowed to
study the violin.
Bought Teacher a Bearskin.
TOscha Seidel works very hard,
and says he never plays program
first playing it before his
teacher Professor Auer. Toscha
likes his teacher very much, and
with the very first money he ever
made. he bought large fur rug
4 bearskin-for Auer.
Likes America.
Seidel is said to be happy
young fellow, enthusiastic, and a
over of America.
II like your country very much,
indeed he said recently in a talk
with Harriette Brewer for the Mu-
,ical Observer, land hope l may be
.ble to live here a long time"

INSIDE INFORMATION
ABOUT RACE RIOT
At [ONGV|EW, TEXAS
(By Associated NEGRO Pressl

LONGVIEW, Tex, July 12.-Nearly
two hundred members of the Texas
National Guard from Dallas and
Nacogdoches, ordered here today by
Governor W. P. Hobby to prevent fur
ther clashes between whites and Ne
groes, were arriving tonight by train
and automobiles.
The trouble today occurred when
the white men were waylaid and fired
upon in the Negro section of Long
view, where they had gone in search
of F. L. Jones, Negro school teacher,
accused of causing the publication of
the story in The Chicago Defender of
the lynching of Lemuel Walters at
Longview on June II. The story ran
that walters was lynched when a
prominent white woman declared she
loved him and that if she were in the
North, she would get a divorce and
marry him.
The whites returned the fire of the
Negroes, who were hidden in vantage
points, and withdrew when their am
munition was exhausted, four of their
number having suffered wounds
A general alarm was sounded and
the whites, with reinforcements, re-
turned to the scene, to find that the
Negroes had dispersed. Five of the
principal Negro residences were then
burned by the whites. Local officials,
unable to cope with the situation,
called upon the Governor for aid.
The situation remains quiet after a
clash early today in which four white
men were wounded, when a party of
whites were fired upon by Negroes.
Search for two alleged Negro ring
leaders continued tonight.

RACE LEADER URGES
BLACKS TO PROGRESS
Especial to the Tribune)

ST. LOUIS, No.. July "A nice
crowd was present July 4th to gree,
Isaac Fisher, who spoke at the Pine
Street department, Y M. c. A., on
the subject 60 Forward" Prof.
Fisher, as naturally would be ex-
pected, handled his subject in mas
terful manner throughout his dis
course. He took the optimistic view
of the present day conditions which
confront the American Negro and
urged his hearers to let nothing deter
or discourage them, but to go forward.
He spoke in part as follows:
When a new law or practice of
race hatred is placed on the statute
books anywhere, those of us who
believe in the future of the black
man are going to speak to the peo-
pie that they go forward When a
mob burns man at the stake and
there is no governmental agency
willing to give protection to our
race, knowing that the same God
who heard the pitiful cries OF the
weak and defenseless black natives
in the Belgian Congo and punished
Belgium for the crimes committed
there is the same God today. we shall,
above the screams of the tortured.
raise our voice and speak to the
people that they go forward If. as
SO many of the colored people think,
cur government seems to forget us
now that the worlds peril is over
ii she seems to forget our loyalty,
cur patriotism, eur bravery in mo
Mans Land, our supreme willing
ness to serve her in her hour of need
we shall indeed be sad at heart,
but some of us are going to stand
in the valley of encouragement and
speak to the people that they go
forward d-that they go forward in
education, filling the public schools,
the normal and industrial schools,
the colleges, the technical and the
professional schools, the universities
that they go forward in industry
in skill of the hand; that they go
forward in the accumulation OF
wealth, in home building, in law-abid-
ing qualities, in religion; in every
thing that makes people great and
strong"
Prof. Fisher also spoke at st. Paul
A. NJ E. church Monday night. The
Commonwealth Fellowship club had
charge of the meetings.

WHITE MINISTER
BELIEVES THERE IS
HOPE FOR BLACK RACE
Rev. chas. Savidse Of Peoples Church
Warns White People Lest the -.
Negroes Become SuppIanters ~,

OMAHA, Neb., July 13.-"Let the
white. race which has been dominating
for hundreds of years. take care lest
the black man, once his chattel and
lis slave, be his supplanter and vic
tor" warned Rev. Charles w. Savidge
last Sunday night in sermon on "The
Children of Ham. What Will Their
Future Be?" at Peoples church.
Rev. Mr.. Savidge traced the prog.
ress of the Colored race from its
origin in Ham,
"The Negro was forcibly taken from
Africa, his home, in the sixteenth CEN
tury and enslaved in this country for
250 years. He was mistreated, op-
pressed, whipped, beaten, and in many
cases killed. But as a people he sur
vived all this ill-treatment No other
people ever stood such abuse and
lived" said Rev. Mr.. Savidge. ~
"A generation ago, social philoso-
piers prophesied that the Negro
would disappear before the onrush OF
stronger races.
To-day, however, the advancement
of this race in the last fifty years has
been the marvel of the world.
when Abraham Lincoln signed the
emancipation proclamation there were
1000, 900 Colored slaves in this .coun-
try. Today there are 100000 free
Negroes.
"The black race doubles every forty
years; the white race every eighty
years.
"The white man must look out or
the black man will give him fierce
run for his money
"The black race is meek. The meek
man and the meek race are winners

VIEWS AND REVIEWS
OF THE LABOR QUESTION
(Ry Associated Negro PressJ

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 14.-Out of all
the unfavorable expressions relative
to the actions of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in opening it's doors to
the COlored laboring men, there has
come one discordant note. Possibly
few of the newspapers think that
but a scare for the future, but the
Tampa (Fla.) Times is very uneasy
over the consequences. A note from
the Times is so discordant that 1T
becomes real screech when ii says:
Ever since the dark days of recon-
structiOn, white supremacy has been
one of the cardinal points of belief
with the southern white people, They
are not ready to believe that belief
now nor ever will be. The admission
of Negro delegates is the first step
toward breaking down the barrier
which the whites have reared with
SO much care and patience since the
civil war. If not protested promptly
and vigorously, the color line itself
will eventually be eliminated alto
gether. and woe be unto the south
when that time comes"
This is contradicted by the express
sion from the Cadiz, KY, Informer,
which says:
There should always exist a cordial
relation between the White and Col
ored races. One of the surest and
best ways of securing it; one law
and one application and one enforce
ment of that law. Equal civil and
political equality between the two
races. Exclusive privilege to none.
Give everyone square, honest deal.
An equal opportunity to acquire a livli-
hood.

clean up the home. The very atmo-

hope for anything in this life or in
the life which is to come. The soon

our homes. We allow too much that

are those of us who will not do wrong
ourselves, but will allow the wrong
doer to come into our homes and be
treated with as much courtesy as any
who live as We do. We have not
drawn the line tight enough 1t is
too slack. We often say that we do
our best to live as we ought and
that we cannot see why some of the
family go in another direction. This
is easy to see We make ourselves
plum the line but we allow others
who have no sense of decency to
come into our homes, into our social
circle, into our churches just as
though they were as pure as we and
those around us. This is true and
we know that it is. AS long as this
is allowed so long will we strive in
