DROPS IN PARACHUTE
1000 FEET FROM RIA
Major PritChard First to Land
From British Airship.

Mineola, L. l., July 7.-Major Prit=
chard will go down in history as Eng
lands "aerial Columbus" being the
first Britisher to alight on American
soil from an airship after trans
Atlantic flight.
And to do it, Pritchard leaped in a
parachute from the giant dirigible R
"a, as it scared 1000 feet over Roose-
welt field
Following his landing he was ask
ed how 1t felt to drop into America
from the clouds"
Prltchard laughed, saying in reply ::
"Oh, don't know. just hopped--
and had nice flight downward in the
parachute for 1000 feet. The reason
didn't wait until the dirigible landed
or got nearer earth was this: You see,
it had been expected that we would
land at Montauk Point, and most OF
the officers had gone there. We
thought there might not be anybody
with the fullest understanding of our
needs in the immediate vicinity of our
landing here, so l went overheard with
a parachute to make things fast below
when the R-34 came down"

SCANDAL TAINTS WAR
MEMORIAL HOSPITAL
Now Trying TO Unload II on
the Government.

Washington, July congress has
"directed' the secretary of the treas
ury to take over the Speedway hos
pital, Chicago, designed, partly built
and owned by Edward Hines.
The amount of money required for
this proposition, if carried out, may
60 above S1O,0OO,000. A former act
dealing with this project authorized
the secretary of the treasuryto sign a
contract for the constructionE6f hos
pital building If, in his discretion, it
was to be to the best interest of the
government. Mr. Glass was inyesti-
eating the matter, when, for some un-
expected reason, a demand was made
on congress to direct him ''te acquire
and complete Immediately the hUspit-
al" which is located at Bfpadview,
Cook county.
The bill providing for the taking
over of Hines hospital, known to con-
gress as the Speedway hospital, was
lobbied through by former Representa-
tive w. S. Bennett, of New York, and
1t is believed he will get between $780,
600 and 100000 for his services.
Some unforeseen influence was at
work in congress for the Hines hos
pital measure. AT the outsst many
Republicans opposed the plan to have
the government take the project
launched by the lumber king but
agreed with Secretary Glass that it
should be carefully looked into before
final action was taken. Late, how
ever, under the lash of the party whip
many Republicans reversed themselves.
among those who changed their views
was Representative Good, chairman of
ihe house appropriations comHaittee.

fort is being made to locate and
check the wart trouble before it can
cause serious damage. In Pennsyl-
vania strict quarantine is imposed
on the territory in which the disease
occurs, and any person who sells sus-
pected potatoes is liable to a fine OF
$500.
Affected potatoes have rough, ir-
regular, spongy outgrowths which
usually begin at the eyes, but may
eventually cover the whole tuber.
These warts are light brown at first
but become black and decay with
age. The disease does not attack the
vines, so ii is -d1ncuIt TO Geteet 5g-
fore harvest time The saying, an
ounce of control is worth a pound of
cure" is applicable in the campaign
against the potato Wart. 1t is easier
to prevent than to control and it is
therefore important to discover all
localities where it occurs and check
it's spread.
There are several agencies by
which the disease is carried: First,
diseased seed potatoes; second, infec
ted soil carried on feet or on farm
machinery; third, manure from ami
mails to which warty tubers have
been fed, and fourth, drainage wa
ter from infested fields. If the dis
ease is found it is urged that the
warted potatoes be carefully dispos-
ed of in order to prevent further
spread and that the infected field
should not be planted to potatoes for
several years.
Watch for warty potatoes at dig
ging time and report to J. f. Davis,
County Agent, or to c. E. Temple,
State Pathologist, Maryland State
College, College Park, Md. The
plant disease survey, a branch of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, is conduct
ing a campaign Of investigation and
publicity in regard to the potato
wart trouble. The object is to de-
termine the prevalence of the dis
ease and to call the attention OF
growers to it's serious character. Mr..
A. C. Martin, an employe of the
bureau, is making survey in Mary
land in this connection. lie expects

He felled its forests, titled it's soil and

unrequited. If the slaves had receiV-
ed the small pittance to which even
criminals were entitled, they would
have had an accumulation on Eman-
cipation Day sufficient to have bought
all the lands of the South.
During the time of the Revolution
Negro slavery existed in all the col
onies, but it did not enter the econ
cmy of Northern life. Slavery only
paid where labor could be employed
in gangs beneath an .overseer where
would could be found for large num-
ber of men without cessation through
out the year. In the culture of rice,
sugar, cotton and tobacco these con-
ditions existed. Slaves in the North
ern colonies were not employed as
field hands but only as domestic ser
wants in the homes of the rich, and
they could therefore be easily dis
pensed with.
"It was proposed by the Northern
delegates when the Constitution was
being prepared that the African slave
trade should at once be abolished,

Georgia and the Carolinas declared
that they would not have the slave

of property were guaranteed they
would not enter the Union at all.

THE BLIND SAMSON IN AMERICA

By Chas. Bertram Johnson.
In this great Temple home,
High pointing in the air,
Beneath whose ample dome,
All races dwell and fare.
It's massive pillars down
On bedrock surely stand,
It's columns from the ground,
Rise sheer and nobly grand
An age-long promise gives
Of beauty aiding worth
With service that relieves
In other lands of earth;
A happy people toll,
Contented, wise and free,
And pick from gracious soil,
The fruits of liberty.
In mart and City street
The wheels of commerce sing;
Where Church and chapels greet
Great anthems grandly ring;
A prosperous country ours
In outward blessings seems
And yet-a darkness lowers
Here-a Blind Samson dreams!
His dusky muscle bands,
About the Temples base;
He gropes his blinded hands,
God save the Negro race!
His faiths about thee fail,
His sightless dark orbs stare,
His foes now scourge and rail,
Grant not his foolish prayer.

LEISURE HOUR REFLECTIONS
FROM A QUIET CORNER.
BY Dennis S. Thompson.

BY Dennis S. Thompson.
A short while ago a leading Negro
divine and educator, remarked that
the Negro must have more than an
industrial education if he is to keep
pace with the rapid development of
the times" The matter of an educa-
tion is thing that our leaders have
been divided on for many years, and
for what reason l do not assume to
know. There is a fact that stands
out very prominently in the lives of
many that are "blood read" and that
is, they need to use more common
sense when in public places.
The very people that are always
crying about a classical education are
the very best ones that you meet
with at the churches, and public gath
eIings, who are whispering and gigg-
ling and giving the ushers trouble,
and are always ready to fight when
they cannot get the best seats and
create the most disturbance. This is
folks in that branch of society known
as the upper crust" and it is one
that is growing to our shame.
Education is thing that is gross
ly misunderstood by a great many
people. AS a matter of fact, we must
have professional people and these
must have a classical education. On
the other hand we have in our midst
a great majority that must have an
industrial education. a training for
the practical and every day tasks of
life; an education that shall teach
the individual how to work and earn
their living. We have already too
many Negroes in the cities, who do
everything imaginable to keep out of
work, and get through the world by
practicing deception on honest hard
working people.
Education that does not put the
head. heart and hands into active use,
is no education at all. 1t is the edu-
cation that makes the individual a
producer that is going to count in the

And all its horrors cease
Just list that scrap in Washington,
That strife of making peace!

No more its red intrigue.

To crown or crush the league!

To chant its requiem?
