CIVIL rights BILL
FAILS OF PASSAGE
BEFORE LEGISLATURE
(sy The Associated Negro Press)


Harrisburg, Pa, April 2S.-The fight
for an Equal Rights" law which has
the entire State in a turmoil for the
past month ended in gloom this week
when the Asbury bill which had been
introduced by Representative ]. G. AS
bury, Colored and which was designed
to secure equal privileges for all races
in public places, was killed in COM
mittee The Lill had passed the House
but produced bitted fight in the
Senate. Its opponents did not relish
going on record against it and for
that reason killed it in a secret ses-
sion of the committee
The Pennsylvania legislature was
the scene of a real battle for racial
rights. Prominent Colored people from
all over the state have been in Harris
burg lobbying and using every kind
of political persuasion to win support
for the measure They had the back
ing of many of the foremost politicians
of the State, particularly the repre-
sentatives of districts with large
Colored population. Colored people in
the State are very bitter over the re
suit and it is being freely predicted
that the fight will be taken directly
to the people at the next election.

ANCIENT HsRPS OF IRELAND
Two Instruments, Each Having Dis
tinct Purpose, We're In Use In
Oloen Timea

The ancient Irish harp was of two
kinds-a small instrument used chiefly
for religious purposes, first by the old
Druids in their rites, and later by the
Christian bishops and abbots. The
other harp was large, and was used
In public assemblies and In battles.
The bagpipes were introduced TO
Ireland from Caledonia. They had
the same use in the Irish armies they
now have In the Highland regiments.
But the Irish made. In the course Of
time, an improvement, using bellows
to fill the chanter. instead of the
mouth. and continued improving the
instrument untn the union-pipes Of to-
day are the result.
As to early Irish harpers and their
music there is little known, but at
Queen Elizabeth's court. Irish tunes
were popular. OF late huge books OF
ancient Irish melodies have been col
lected and arranged. Petrie has at
tracted attention to this field by his
thorough investigation of Irish folk
music.

Geographical society contemplates fiji.

ascent of Meant Everest, in tie

highest mountain on the globe; hut 1t
is also the worlds mystery mountains
Although it was discovered 20 years
ago, no European has yet succeeded
In getting anywhere nearer than about
fifty miles to 1t, much less setting foot
on its slopes.
This is because it so happens that 1t
is situated partly in Nepal and partly
In Tibet, and the governments Of both
these countries object to the presence
of European explorers.
Besides this the Nepal base Of the
giant mountain is in any case prac-
tically unapproaehable, owing TO the
dense jungle growth, extending for a
width of 60 or 40 miles all round, and
into whose depths no white man may
venture and live.
The proposal now Is TO attempt the
ascent from the Tibetan side. This Is
doubtless possible, but whether the
summit can be reached or not Is an
other matter.
Most experts say not, and point to
the fact that the duke of Abruzzi's
attempt to scale Mount Godwin-Aus-
tin, Eyerest's mighty neighbor. and
the second highest peak In the world.

He assembled as far 24.600 feet. but

India Ink Really Chinese Ink.

The intensely black inks have vari-
Gus sorts OF finely divided carbon as
their pigment, and the vehicle In most
instances is some type OF oil or var
nish. India ink Is the name often APP
piled TO what Is In reality Chinese
ink. The best of this variety comes
from the Anhui province and is made
from the lamp black produced when
wood oil Is slowly burned In one earth
enware vessel and the SCOT or lamp
black produced is collected on the
sides of a second jar placed above the
first. A paste Is made with varnish
and pork fat and this Is then mixed
with glue. Some ink is made from
the SCOT Of sesame or rapeseed oil,
but In any case the paste rs pressed
into molds. There are. of course,
many grades OF this ink. the lower
being made from the coarser SCOT and
glue. In 1913 the Chinese exported
127 600 pounds of this ink.-Scientifc

LAS VEGAS PAPER
PRAISES AREN'T
NEVADA'S CONGRESSMAN WILL
BE ACTIVE FACTOR IN
POLITICS I'm 1922
(From the Las Vegas Age)

Congressman Samuel S. Arentz
promises to be the most prominent
figure of Nevada in the campaign of
next year, having definitely decided
to be candidate for the Republican
nomination for the u. S. Senate.
Sam Arentz has the confidence of
the people of Nevada as but few
have had during recent years. His
frank and open manner of cam
paigning during the last election ;
his fine personality; his clear-cut
ideas upon the needs of the state;
his forceful and convincing manner
of speaking-all these have con-
| tributed to his popularity. Since he
took his seat in the House of Rep
resentatives he has been a tireless
worker and has been extremely ac-
tive in every matter affecting the
interests of the state. His high abil-
ity as an engineer and his expert
ence in the business affairs of the
state have given added weight to his
words.
1t is of peculiar interest to the
people of Clark county to remember
that Sam Arentz received his first
push toward political honors in this
county when he was operating a
mining property near Goodsprings.
He was first suggested as good tim
Der for the congressional nomina-
ton by Florence S. Doherty in the
Goodsprings Gazette. The idea met
with the approval of the Age and
other papers throughout the state
and the unusual situation of the
office seeking the man was present
ed. After considering the matter
for some time, Mr.. Arentz yielded
to the persuasion of his friends,
went vigorously at the work of cam
paigning in his own original style,
won the nomination and election,
and made good as an active member
of the House of Representatives
Being an ex-service man, Mr.. Ar
entz has been very active in all
measures brought forward for the
relief of the soldiers and sailors who
served Uncle Sam and has per-
formed valuable services in adding
several matters of legislation for the
benefit of Nevada.
His wide experience in affairs and
his large acquaintance in all sec
tons of Nevada make Samuel S.
Arentz a formidable opponent of
any candidate who may oppose him
for the u. S. Senate.

WEST STATE AT TER
ALL ROAD MONEY

Another highway association, with
the completion of hard surfaced
road from Reno to Hazen as its
main object, came into being last
night at a meeting in the Reno
Chamber of Commerce attended by
representatives of Churchill, Lyon
and Washoe counties, says the Reno
Gazette. Charles j. Sadleir was
elected president of the association
and C. S. Knight, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, was chosen
secretary.
Resolutions calling for the early
completion of the road will be sent
to the commissioners of the three
counties and the state highway de-
partment.
Fallon and Fernley were well rep
resented and w. A. Hardy of Fern
ley presented figures to show that
the road would not only benefit the
three counties through which it
passes but would benefit other coun-
ties. He went further and stated
that the territory served contained
thirty-six per cent of the states
population and contained nearly
$40 100000 worth of farm property.
George w. Borden, acting high
way engineer, explained the method
by which the highway department
and the federal government CO.
operated in the building of highways
and said the state would be ready
to do the preliminary work on road
projects soon after January l.
The road from Reno to Hazen
states primary road system, as re-
quired by the Phipps bill, and as
such will come directly under the
provision of the bill, and as such
will be among the road projects
taken up by the highway depart
ment as soon as the highway regula-
tons are completed.
The directors of the highway de-
partment viii meet within few
days to receive Borden's report on
the highway meeting at Omaha and
it is possible that the highway de-
partment will designate the state
road system early in January.

asserts.
Both dogs and cats are relapsing to

New Street-car Idea.

The objections to the so-called
safety cars" which were introduced
during the last few years, have been
met in Seattle by the invention Of
what Is called a one-man-two-man
street car. The design of this car per-
mits of Its being operated in the
slack hours by one man, while In the
busy hours, with little rearrange-
ment of the interior, 1t is changed
to make provision for the addition
Of conductor. This Is said to meet
the great criticism of the safety"
in that so much time was lost In the
stops when the single attendant was
compelled to take the fares. answer
the questions and attend to the va
rious other matters, with the entrance
