PROTECTED BY NATURE
6uana is Enabled to Oety Its
Many Enemies

The bubble bug b native of Brit =
Guiana. is quite as interesting as It's
name suggests When the insect Is
Beebe in the Atlantic Monthly. II
wraps Itself for safety In a kind of
roth of small bubbles.
When the bug has formed a large
drop of clear liquid 1t forces II into
the air as q bubble and then ferces
out an imponderable amount of oil
or dissolved wax and mixes 1t with the
clear liquid; that toughens the bub-
bles, which continue to pile up until
the insect Is buried deep.
To penetrate the mass is an unpleas-
ant achievement for small marauders-
l have draped a big pile of bubbles,
says Mrs Beebe, round the beak of an
insect-eating bird and watched 1t
shake its head and wipe its beak In
evident disgust.
The bug does three wonderful things
with the clear liquid that 1t exudes--
1t dlstills sweet water, it draws nour-
ishment, and it adds to Its blood
and Its tissues a pungent flavor that
will safeguard 1t against the attacks
of birds and lizards.
Little by little Its wings swell to
full spread and strength; muscles
grow In its hind legs, which in time
will shoot 1t through great distances ;
and pigment of the most brilliant yell
low and black forms ON the coverings
of Its wings. When at last 1t creeps
forth through the filmy veil of bubbles
1t Is immature no longer, but bril-
liant froghopper.

(By Geo. w. Gross)

The inspirational value of the great
conference of the N. A. A. G. p, held
at Kansas City, Aug. 30 to Sept. 4,
cannot be adequately told by tongue
or pen. 1t was a veritable baptism
where the font of hope and faith
flowed in copious measure and where
the revivified soul sought momentary
release from its human moorings to
more nearly approach the plans of Di-
vinity. Truly Gods handiwork was
manifestly within these conference
halls. Were called upon to say what
impressed me, 1 would pass by the
crowded Dyer meeting with all of its
marked enthusiasm and earnestness,
likewise would / pass by the memOra-
BILE visit with the members of the 24th
Infantry at the federal prison in Lea
venworth, with it's deep pathos and IL
limitable appeals on to the new policy
of the association to stress and ampli-
fly the work of college chapters and
Juvenile branches. Here abides the
future security of the association and
even of the race itself by an early i'm
planting of its principles within the
hearts and minds of the youth of our
land. Here abides perpetuity and
strength, for the mission of the asso-
citation is but fairly begun and must
be carried on by faithful men and
women. undismayed by temporary de-
feat and unsullied by oppression.
Rights are never given, rights are won.
The Colorado statesman., 1923-09-29
(ey Mrs. Lille surton)

/ regarded it as a great privilege to
be delegate to the 18th annual con-
ference of the National Association for
the Advancement of Colored People,
held at Kansas City, Kan, recently.
That which impressed me most was
the visit to the federal prison at Leav
enwOrth on Saturday, Sept. 1. The
trolley excursion carried 55S men and
women, all of whom were guests of the
members of the 24th U. S. Infantry,
held as military prisoners.
AS we entered the beautiful lawn,
guards were stationed on each side of
the walk, but were very courteous in
their treatment of us. / was very
much impressed with the warden, who
in a few well chosen words told of the
good qualities of the imprisoned sol
diers and how they protected the Off
cials during one or two riots.
AS we marched into the great walls
of the prison and entered the chapel,
sweet strains of music from a band of
forty-five pieces greeted us. The 24th
Infantry boys arose as one man. For
the most part they were young men,
each with his own sad story to tell.
AS l recall their sad, solemn faces,
realizing that somewhere there is a
saddened mother, or wife, or sweet
heart, or sister, praying for the re
lease of these boys, am determined to
work as never before for the National
Association that is doing all possible
TO give liberty and justice to all of my
race.

(Ry Mrs. M. L. EIIiston)

KHY impression of the fourteenth an
Vt nual conference of the N. A. A
c. p. recently held at Kansas City
was that it was a great big body OF
earnest men and women gathered to
honestly point out way for our bet
terment of our national status. l was
very much impressed at the mass meet
ing on Sunday afternoon, Sept. 2, at
Convention hall, when Mr.. James We'll
don johnson, the national secretary,
spoke to 10000 people with all of his
force and eloquence. My heart was
made to rejoice when Mr.. Johnson
said: 1--WE are here to serve notice
that this is fight to finish for the
rights guaranteed us as American cit
liens by the constitution" l feel there
should be no sacrifice too great for us
to make in order to aid in carrying on
this righteous fight.

Attempts Suicide

Cleveland, Ohio Sept. 20.-Dr. Le-
roy N. Bundy, prominent dentist of
this city, who gained nationwide at
tention because of his connection wit
the East st. Louis riot, attempted sui
eide by slashing his throat with ra
zor while in his office. He was dis
covered, however, before loss of bloot
rendered his case hopeless and rushet
to the hospital for medical attention.
Efforts were made to keep the re
port from gaining publicity, but re
porter in his rounds of the local pc
lice station noted the name of the den
tist on the record book and made al
investigation. Attempts to reach hi
home over the telephone were unavai
ing. Later in the day, however, tn,
Rev. Mr.. Bundy, aged father of tn
dentist, confirmed the report an
stated that physicians were certain
his recovery. He has been removed to
his home. Temporary insanity Is Civ

Kansas Normal
Teacher Refuses
to Apologize

Emporia, Kan, Sept. 20.-Charging
that Prof. E. r. Barrett, head of the
English department of the Emporia
Normal, threw her out of class room
and onto cement floor, Elgethia
Alsbrook, Negro student, today ap-
peared before the county attorney de-
manding that Barrett be prosecuted
unless he apologies to her. The
teacher late today indicate no apology
would be made.
The girl alleges the professor seized
her as she entered the room and then
showed her through the doorway, caus-
ing her to fall on hall floor, injur-
ing her knees. Professor Barrett did
not deny showing her out of the room
but says he did so after he had ordered
her out eight times and each time she
lad refused to bulge. Then he pushed
aer through the doorway and she stun
lied and fell.
When Miss Alsbrook returned to
'rofessor Barrett later in the day he
old her he was sorry he has caused
her to be injured but was not sorry he
'ad pushed her out of the room. A
group of Negroes accompanied the
girl to the county attorneys office.

Italy to Free Her
African Slaves

Geneva, Sept. 2S.-Italy has official
ly notified the League of Nations that
she has ordered the abolition of the
slavery system existing within the
Italian legation in the Empire of Ethi-
opia (Abyssinia), which recently ap-
piled for membership in the league
She has directed the native staff of
the legation, which owns slaves, hence
forth to consider them as servants, not
slaves, pending Italian arrangements
to restore them to liberty, with COM
pensation to their owners.
Slavery as 1t exists in Ethiopia is
expected to be discussed in connection
with the Ethiopian application for adj
mission to the league, although it is
recognized that it is domestic ques-
tion.

America Ridiculed by
Russian Papers for

IN. A. A. G. P. Press Service)
In an interesting article on how the
Russian people regard America which
appers in The New Republic of Sept.
10, Arthur Ruhl, famous author and
newspaper correspondent, tells of the
effect upon the Russian people of news
regarding lynchings and mob iolence
in the United States. Mr.. Ruhl is now
in Russia and in his article in The
New Republic, headed, what the Rus
slams Think of U.s." has this to say:
%. A Moscow comic paper last
summer published on its front page a
cartoon consisting of two pictures in
parallel columns. One, representing
a group of African cannibals seated
around fire waiting for helmeted
white man to be roasted, was labelled
In Barbarous Africa The other,
representing a Negro burning at the
stake, surrounded by mob of glee-
full whites, was labelled In Cultured
America This aspect of our civilian
ton, which puzzles nearly all Europ-
cans, is an easy target for satire and

tom of this sort or an editorial on

tion.

COLORADOANS AT THE Great N. A.
A. C. P. CONFERENCE
Views and Impressions Gained at Kansas
City Meeting

addresses l'y the mayor and city Off
cials of Kai,sas City, Kan, were excel
lent as were the responses by the Of
ficers of the N A. a G. p. This or
ganization is a grand one, but it will
require much work to accomplish the
things we are striving for. 1t must be
put forward by strong men and women
who will talk and show why we should
make this the first of all organizations
for it means law and order as well as
justice and equality of opportunity.
Mr.. Fred Smith of San Jose, Calf, re-
ported that of 200 members of the San
Jose branch, 115 were white. This
tells simple story well worthy of ex-
ample for any city. The wonderfully
inspiring address of Congressman
Dyer on Friday night and the address
of Mr.. A. B. Spingam to the members
of the 24th Infantry, in which he said
the association would never cease to
work for their liberation until it was
an accomplished fact or until all were
dead, leads me to conclude that God
works in a mysterious way His won
derS to perform"
The Colorado statesman., 1923-09-29
fHv J. H. p. westbrook, M.p.)

The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People is the one
great dynamic force operating today
for just solution of the race prob
lem. The white South, blinded as it
is, with race prejudice, and the white
North ignorant as it is of the actual
facts, are being awakened by this as
sociation composed of intelligent and
sympathetic people of both races, to a
realization that if this great govern
ment of ours is to endure, all people
composing its citizenship must have
equal and exact JUSTICE before the
law. All of it's citizens, regardless of
color or creed, must have the right of
franchise the right to trial by jury
of their peers; the right of religious
freedom, and the privileges of public
accommodations that go with such
rights.
The exodus of our people from the
South is another development in the
fight for full freedom whicn will give
the association additional advantage in
North will realize as never before the
actual problem that confronts this gov
ernment The South will feel keenly
the loss of the mainstay of its indus
trial and agricultural activities. With
these conditions ACUTE, we can not
but believe that Justice and fair play
will make the 18th, 18th and 18th
amendments to the constitution all that
was intended when they were written
into this greatest of human documents.
The National Association for the Ad-
vancement of Colored People is the
agency through which facts and fig
ures are being gotten into the homes,
hearts and souls of the people of this
Land of the Free" and | am optimis-
tic enough to believe that with deter
mination, hard work and persistency
that never let's go, this association will
go down in history as one of the great
est agencies helping to make this Re
public the ideal of nations.

Cape Town, South Africh, Sept %.
In a report of DIR. yiljoen. superin-
tendent of education for Cape Prov
ince, he emphasized the difficulties en-
countered by his department in secur-
ing funds and teachers.
There are at present in Cape Prov
ince, under the department of educa-
ton 1924 schools for European pu-
pills, 426 schools for colored pupils, Of
which 400 are under church mission
control, and 1,602 native schools.
There are certain number of
European Industrial schools in Cape
Province, which are one of the cost
liest branches of education. As these
schools are under control of the Union
government as well as the Provincial
administration, there has been diff
Guilty in organizing them ON uniform
basis
With regard TO non-European educa-
ton, DR.. viljoen says there is an even
greater need of reform and progress
than is the case with European schools.
There are 4S,309 colored pupils under
the department, and 117,776 native pu-
pills. The colored schools in Cape
Town are overcrowded, so that in one
school the plan is being tried of teach
ing in shifts of three hours each.

New York, Sept. 2S.-Afigration is
being reflected in the trading here as
Indicated by remarkable rise Ill cot
ton yarn prices which show marked
advances. Raw cotton quotations are
rising momentarily and constantly. 1t
is to be doubted if the spinners will be
able to make their December deliveries
unless relief is found in other markets.
The upward movement of prices in the
raw product is traced to boll-weevil
and the migration of colored labor

YOUTH CRANKS FORD;
CRASH GOES WINDOW

Raymond Heinrichs, son of John
Heinrichs, So. Lancaster farmer
cranked his Ford car in front Of the
Raymond Webb plumbing shop on
Thursday night. Raymond had been
at a party and was preparing to motor
home.
The usual procedure of starting
Ford in cold weather is to jack up one
wheel and turn the wheel with the en-
CINE in gear. Some say that Raymond
did this but forgot to block the car.
Others say Raymond cranked his car.
In any event the car plunged forward
and a young lady inside took a short
and terrifying ride she did not antici-
pate.
The car plowed through the plumb
ing shop window, breaking the south
glass entering the door and cracking
the south front glass. Net loss 5000.
Mr.. Webb came up and made temper
airy repairs.
Raymond agreed to settle the dam
age with the other Raymond. The car
was unscratched.
