gro race in the military or naval

all members Of the Negro race now
serving in any branch Of the military
or naval service of the United States"
which we will quote i'm full:
"Re ii enacted by the Senate and
House Of Representatives Of the Unit

That no member Of the Negro

a short one, hut that is not all-the

a pigeon hole of the Senate to sleep

TIME MAKES A Difference
Poets and Musicians Of Old Days Lived
Hard Lives, but Would Be
Rich Today.

A Philadelphia connoisseur has re-
turned from England with manu-
script of Shelleys for which he paid
LOO pounds (BOrmally about $4,000.
1t is said that the total amount Shell
ley received in his lifetime from the
publishers of his poetry was about
$3.50.
AS one reads of the fantastic sums
that change hands in the auction room
today for books, manuscripts, pictures
and other works Of art, one is moved
to moralze upon the difference a
small part of the price would have
made to the artist in his lifetime.
ChattertOn poisoned himself ere he
was eighteen to escape slow starva-
ton, since he was too proud to dis
close his utter penury; and now few
words from his hand would bring
enough to support him for years
In the last year of Schubert's lille
six of his songs were sold to a pub
Usher for 20 cents apiece. When he
died, not thirty-two years old, his I'M
published music was valued at 50 and
his estate was appraised at about S12.

sold Listen to the Mocking Bird" to
the publishers for S35 They are said
to have made S3,OOOOOO out of it!

that pOsterity has succeeded in CAPT.
talizing patriarchs who in their time
found it hard to live.

BEAUTY COMES BEFORE ART
Average Citizen Is Not a. Student Of
What the Interior Decorator
Puts First.

While there undoubtedly is an in
stinctive love for the beautiful in art
and nature, the average man or wom-
an does not greatly interest himself
or herself in matters of art, says a
writer in an Eastern journal. They
do not study such subjects or seek
information unless they become in
tereSted through some prime motive.
Once there is created an interest in
and a desire for better things. how
ever, they put forth every effort to
learn more of those things that tend
to beautify the home.
In most cases this interest can be
aroused effectively through eye APP
peal. People must see things with
their eyes. Comparatively few per-
sons reason with their minds alone.
Imagination and construction by men
tai process is not common attribute.
That is one of the reasons why the
interior decorator is called upon by
people who can afford to employ such
expert service.
Incidentally, 1t has been aptly said
that if the average interior decorator
would descend from the high horse Of
lofty ideals and absurd fallacy Of So
called "class" and let people know he
can count dollars in hundreds as well
as in thousands, there would be ire
mendous impulse and increase of real
usefulness in this honorable profess
sion.

TlMEPIECE BUILT TO LAST
Is Treasured as an Heirloom by
California Family.

Like many a California resident,
very rare example of the skill of the
colonial clOckmakers made two jour
neys to the Pacific coast before its
residence was permanently estab-
liShed.
Constructed by Samuel Terry in
Connecticut in 1884, the clock is one
of the two earliest specimens of his
work It's mate is to be found in
well-known Massachusetts collection.
In 1914 the peregrinations of the ven
cradle timepiece commenced when it
was taken from Connecticut to Ohio,
there to remain until 1870, when 1t
was taken to California. There it re-
manned for but two years, Or4y to
start its journeyings once more to
seek a New England home. One year
ago 1t was taken again to San Fran
cisco by a member of the same fam
lily in whose possession 1t has always
been.
The clock is inclosed in a heavy
mahogany case Of simple design, with
a front inset of brilliantly cOlored
glass in an elaborate landscape de-
sign. The mechanism of the time
piece is made entirely of wood.
As the predominant note of dis
tinctly interesting hallway, the clock
forms the nucleus of a collection Of
colonial heirlooms that are more than
passably neutrality-suspicious..
