MACHINERY INSPECTOR

A n EXPLORER will return to the
L n drear loneliness of the wilder
ness. A convict free will find himself
strangely longing for the bitterness of
captivity. So strong is the hold en-
vironment can take on the soul of a
man.
On a ship in the fleet served a good
seagoing chief engineer. But he had
been at sea too long. He was growing
stale. So he asked for shore duty.
He was transferred to a huge steel
mill where government contracts were
filed. For two years he was to hear
the hum of lathe and scraper instead
Of the pound and the wheeze Of his
own engines. Instead of the intermit-
tent roar of the turreted guns he was
to be half-deafened by the more steady
belching of gigantic blast furnaces.
His title was Naval Inspector Of Ma
chinery.
A superdreadnaught was launched.
The inspector, supervised the installa-
ton OF her mighty engines. His re-
sponsibility increased up to the day Of
her trials.
On this day a board Of inspection
and survey came down in full regalia
to hold Official tests Of the new war
baby. The inspector met the big bugs
in proper form, but he didn't look
happy.
Perhaps 1t was the sheaf Of papers
and records he produced that filed him
full of gloom. For instance there were
the weight tables for parts and fittings
and auxiliaries and full boilers as well
as empty ones; it may have been his
long monotonous report comparing the
finished product to the original specl-
fications.
The machinery inspector was gray
and weary. Facts and figures had be-
gun to get on his nerves. Indoor work
had stolen his tan. And when he
guided the trial board through their
duties in trying out the newest of our
men-of-war he realized he'd had
enough shore duty. "Guess I'll put in
for the fleet again." he declared. Il
don't seem to do so well here"
he was wrong. Few inspectors be-
fore him had been his equal. The truth
was the old. old truth: He was home
sick for the heave of plated deck,
the swish Of oily bilges. and salt
breath out of the starboard hatch.
So ''slave of the sea" is the right
name after all.

plains, because always know just
when to stop worrying"
His friends, however, "have one on

This gadget--as We say in the navy,
meaning thingumbob-is a device for
transmitting sound signals under wa
ter. Large lightships such as Nam
tucket have a heavy bell suspended
deep in the water. BY an automatic
device clapper strikes at regular in
tervals. Each bell along the coast has
Its characteristic interval and number
Of strokes.
All large ships and men-of-war are
fitted with receivers for capturing the
sound waves set up under water by
these bells. In the outer bottom is a
small box filled with water and con-
tanning very sensitive diaphragm
which vibrates in tune with the bell.
Through telephone connection one
may catch the signals from the bridge
or any other part of the ship.
Since the receivers are on each side
sound comes most distinctly when the
bell is nearly on the beam. From four
to FIVE miles is the average limit of
range.
One thick March morning our self
contained friend was approaching New
York. Though he was we'll off-shore
the soupy fog made him anxious about
his landfall. Putting his submarine
telephone to his ear he suddenly heard
the clear note of bell. THAT'S queer"
he exclaimed, "We oughn't to be any
where near the lightship yet"
He swung the battleship about in
order to find which heading blotted
out the sound. In this way he could
obtain an approximate bearing of the
lightship.
But the bell kept on. 1t played reg
ular chimes, increasing and decreas-
ing. To the CONSERVATION of the skip
per he was unable to determine either
the distance, direction, or character of
the crazy thing. "Can it be some new
kind of enemy internal machine" he
wondered.
He became frantic. He cursed the
navigator. the lightshlp, the officer-of-
the-deck and then all ships and bells
and officers. In a final parOxysm of
anxiety he sent someone to investigate
his receiving box in the double bot
toms.
Which disclosed a single happy
whistling busy bluejacket, chipping
paint. And every time the sailor struck
the bulkhead his signal carried direct
to the perplexed bridge gang.

white man is known to have been
killed and two wounded, possibly
fatally, as result Of race riot which
broke out here shortly before Z
o'clock at night on December 16.
Two Negroes are believed to have
been killed. according to announce
ment by Chief of Police E H. Hall,
who stated at 9:4O p. m. that the
situation was under control.
Shortly after p. m. Chief of Police
Hall announced that request had been
sent to Topeka urging that the ma
tional guardsmen be sent here.
Members of the home guarl and of
the local post of the American Legion
turned out to assist in quelling the
disorder.
The trouble started with the slay-
ing of white grocer, r. R. Wharton,
who was killed in his store early in
the morning by Negro, who escaped
with about $780, Shortly afterward
the alarm was spread and hundreds
of men gathered hurriedly, some of
them armed, to seek for the robber.
The search kept up for hours without
any definite results. Race feeling
was stirred up by the insistence of
the searchers. in trying to find the
slayer of Wharton in the houses of
other Negroes.
Various minor clashes resulted from
the aggressiveness of the man hunt
and open violence broke out in the
evening. Shots were fired in many of
the streets and houses were pune
tured with bullets, the struggle be-
coming more violent with each sue
ceeding volley.
All sorts of weapons were brought
into play by both sides and the streets
were lighted by the flashes of fire.
arms, while men and even women and
children rushed through the thorough
fares in the Negro quarter fighting
and shouting.
At 9 O'Clock the fighting had ex-
tended in some cases outside the city
limits with the whites in pursuit Of
Negroes. The Negroes seemed to
have few firearms and rushed about
In panic, seeking to escape. Reports
to the police, however. indicated that
the Negroes had fired on the whites
in several instances.
Most Of the population of Independ-
ence, which has 1900 inhabitants,

remain in their homes to avoid stir

GENUINE BUSINESS
ADVANCEMENT
(By the Associated Negro Rress.l

(By the Associated Negro PFess.)
The year 1920 will go down in his
tory as one of great business advance
ment among Negroes. The opening
OF individual lines of business and
the establishment Of gigantic corpora
tions have increased the activities of
the commercial world to magnificent
proportions. Scores of new corpora
tions have been formed in every sec
tion Of the country, and a number of
them have been able to announce the
subscription and actual paying in of
$10O,000.00, $200,0O0.OO and even more
in good United States money, for the
promotion Of various enterprises.
manufacturing, insurance, banking.
building and other lines. A $1,000 900
Eanking combination corporation, in
which leading Negroes in the banking
and business world are interested. to
be opened in New York, has recently
been announced. The people of our
group are enthuiastic about the op-
portunities offered in employment
and executive positions for our capa-
Bile trained men and women.
The outlook for 1921 is indeed most
encouraging. Cooperation brings sue
cess. American Negroes have learned
this great lesson, and nothing can
separte us in unity of purpose. The
greatest strides for 1921 promise to
be commercial, but there it not the
slightest disposition anywhere to sac
rilce anything political. The cry of
the Race is; 1--WE must all work to-
gether and we will get somewhere. !"
BY no claims of logic or reason can
the Race see why all others should
be granted all things, while we are
denied. Aroused to a thoroughly
thinking standard, it cannot be seen
why we should make others wealthy
while we remain poor. AS great
throng we are functioning, and we
expect to forge ahead!

1ation that shall settle the con-
trotersy, which has existed between

District in recent years.

James A. Farrell, active head Of the
United States Steel Corporation. will
head the new Shipping Board as II is
being reorganized by President Harding
This is the positive belief OF those in
official circles who are in a position 20

further belief that the announcement

Mr.. Farrell was asked by the Presi-
dent several weeks ago to head the new

President last night, and that it was
for the settlement of few details, was
decided upon.
Reluctance IL Explained.
1t is explained that Nj. Farrelrs re-
luctance to accept tho position on
hand was due to the necessity for him
to remain with the Steel Corporation
that. even though the executive great
Iy desired the steel mans services, he
could not postpone organizing the
Shipping Board until the date men,
