THE TIME FOR MEDITATION

1t seems to us that this is the time
for the Colorcd people Of this colu-
munity to appreciate and understand
the peculiar relationship now existing
between the white and colorcd people
of this locality and to understand ina,
TIE Strnining point between the
thoughtlcss white folks and the irrr.
sponsiblc colorcd folks has at times
been reached. The central figures in
handling this situation arc His Hon-
or George Ainslic, Mayor of Rich
mond; Director Of Public Safety, Col.
William NJ. Myers; Chief of Police,
Major G. A. Sherry; His Honor,
Judge John J. Ingram, OF the Pole.
Court and His Honor Judge Fl, A.
Maurice of the Police Court, Part II
primarily, in tho hands of these Off.
Gals rests the safety Of this city from
mob rule.
That one and all OF them appreciate
this responsibility fully is sclf.cvident
How can VIC aid them without max.
ing them Liable 10 criticism by their
hundreds OF irresponsible politicai
supporters? How can we pro
ne the peace and happi.
ness of this community by win
ming for them communication from
the better class OF white people ana
the more conservative class Of coloret
ones? We can do this by avoiding
loose talk, so to speak. Let ali refer
ences to white people he made in tho
proper manner, to the end that we as
race may retain their friendship
and no1 invite their enmity.
When any of these officials perform
some act that entities them to com.
mendation, let us be forward in show
ing our appreciation of such acts =.
By pursuing this course, we vii:
bring about a contcnted class of peo-
pie. We must cultivate mutual con-
i'dence and SO doing we shall set the
pace for n prosperous future. What
we condemn in the lower class of
white people, we should not counter
ance in the lower class of coIoren
ones.
NO matter, what may be said to the
contrary, our future is largely in our
own hands. The recent happenings in
South Richmond and Fulton hay.,
strained the friendly relationship be
tween the races here and again il has
strengthened it. We believe II the
,colored people were organized TO main
tain the law and TO support the pres.
ent city administration, much pood
would result in the premises.
AS the matter now stands, when a
eolored person is maltreated or ini1,.
ed by a white person, solid mass
or colored people stand up for the
colored person, regardless Of the
rights OF the white one and when a
white person is maltreated by a color.
cd person, a solid mass Of white peonlc
stand up for the white person. be
they right or wrong. This is the wrong
spirit Division should be made unon
the basis Of right and wrong and the
color should form no part of 1t. 4
colored man, who ruthlessly assaults
white person is an enemy to all OF
us, endangering our rights and priv
tieges and the same Is to be said OF a
white person, who may do the same
thing.
Let us do what we can to win the
support of the largely increasing nnm
Der Of white people, who are friendly
towards us and let us begin a crusade
to reform or punish some of these
lawless clements amongst us.

How Old Armer Wa. Made

Ancient armor cost money. COM
plete iron suit of exclusive design
might "stick" the purchaser for as
much as $1,000. which was a great
sum In those days. Baronial gentle
men, however, had their own profess
sional armOrers to turn out such
metal garments, The common soldiers
went to battle with nothing better to
protect them than leather jenkins and
steel caps. Recently samples were
taken from dozen of ancient pieces
and put through chemical and micro
scOpical examination by experts in or
der to find out something about how
the stuff was made. 1t was found
that all the pieces thus tested were
made from very pure wrought iron,
converted into steel by the old 'cemen-
tatiOn" process. The original iron
was produced much like our modern
wrought iron. 1t was carbonized
hammered into sheets and the sheets
welded together. The whole was
then hammered into shape while heat
ed and plunged into water, thus pro
ducing the final hardening.

on some shore or are found floating

difion. The larger ones are known to

COVERED HEADS M CHURCH
Before the Year 1861 Men Did Not
Remove Their Hats During
Religious Services.

20 !.
About 1861 an agitation commenced
to have men remove their hats In
church--Pepys makes gentle fun OF It,
The custom was first to remove the
hat to cover the eyes In prayer, and
later 1t was taken of altogether.
The introduction Of the wig helped
the custom--for it proved difficult to
keep ones hat on over tousled
mass OF false curls. This also led to
large hats with plumes going out OF
style.
Then, Instead Of wearing hats In
doors, men went to the other extreme,
and often carried them In their hands
when out of doors The Puritans In
England continued to wear their
broad brimmed hats. however, indoors
and out.
Mems hats and clothing were
changed with the French Revolution
wigs went out. and then with the rise
of Napoleon, dress became military
in style. In 1915. during the Restora'
ton period arose the "stovepipe hat
and breeches. at the same time be

Constantine, the great Roman en-

laws upon the people. Constantine
was highly religious, and he demand
ed strict observance of the Sabbath
throughout his>ysst empire.
He decreed that Judges. inhabit-
ants and artificers" must rest on the
Sabbath. He excepted husbandmen
from this order, however, since SOW
ing was a necessity and could not be
done on any other day" Slaves could
not be compelled work on this day.
by the enperor's decree. Should mas
tiers be caught in the act of forcing
their slaves to labor, heavy fine and
perhaps Jail sentence would be i'm
posed. Children were emancipated
from labor on the Sabbath. Constan-
tine also ordered his vast armies
wherever they might be to devote this
day to prayer. At the same time he
set aside Friday as a day in which
prayer was required of all the people.
Later he extended his order to include

Much iron In philippines.

The finest unworked iron fields in
the world have been discovered In the
Philippines, according to report FROM
government experts recently received
by the United States bureau of foreign
and domestic commerce, says the
Washington Post. The quantities Of
ore adjacent to good harbors, they
state, will be sufficient to assure the
future iron and steel production In the
United States for generations Already
land believed to contain more than
SOC, OO0. 600 tons has been surveyed. De-
posits on the island Of Mindanao are
believed to be without rival. They
contain 275,OOOOO0 tons close to good
harbors and 13O.OO0,00O tons within
easy transportation distance of Dajkin
bay, perhaps the best natural harbor
on the islands. Only crude iron work
In primitive smelters is being carried
on at present.
