cles per day. This street is also con.
siderably narrower than most OF Del.
ta's streets yet the IS feet Of con-
crete with the graveled sides has
been found sufficient. It is planned
to pave the remainder OF the street at
a future date but the capacity Of the
street to carry all the traffic imposed
is probably delaying paving the sides.
Lake Avenue in Colorado Springs
leading to the Broadmoor hotel has a
12-foot strip Of concrete on each side
Of the car track, and is found to be
more than ample for all traffic re-
quirements.
FIT. Lupton. Colorado, is on the main
highway leading north from Denver.
A center strip of concrste was put
through last year and sometime later
local improvement district was
created and the balance Of the street
paved. The main street of Aurora
Colorado, was likewise treated. while
In Fowler, Colorado, the center strip
is still found sufficient. as 1t is also in
Golden. Colorado.
Cities in other states have found
this idea entirely practical. Among
these may be mentioned Glenridge,
New Jersey.
Put In q few words: The center
strip carries the dust raising. street
destroying traffic and is entirely
ample for that purpose. When a
driver wishes to park he merely turns
off the concrete and drives to the
curb. II permits cities to have most
of the advantages Of a fullpaved
street at only a portion OF the cost.
and can be utilized fully when II Is
desired to pave the balance Of the
street.

Armistice Day-Hosp1talization.
These two features are now occupy
ing the attention and commanding
tho interest OF both the Legion and
its auxiliary.
Armistice Day Will for many years
to como, create q personal sentiment
IN the hearts Of Legionnaires and
their comrades in the World War.
With those who actually took part in
the soul-sttrring events that brought
on "Armistice Day there Is and must
be a super-personal element. It was
Armistice Day that ultimately made
the World safe for Democracy. 1t
was Armistice Day that brought a
proud and powerful foe to it's knees in
supplication for a cessation Of hostili-
ties and admit its defeat by force Of
arms. What that meant to America
and to American institutions may
never be fully known. but we do know
that 1t averted further tyrannies at
the hands Of q powerful military des-
potism.
So Il 10 that November II OF each
recurring year will recall sacred mem

can Legion and Il IL fitting that they.

ELLIS, MAN WHO WOULD BE
KING, DEAD IN MEXICO

New York.-William Henry Ellis,
romantic figure in Americas inter-
national affairs in 1904, died in Mex
leo City on Sept "a, according to
cable advices received by his family
N New York City.
Known as "the man who would be
king" Ellis career was a varied one.
Cowboy, ranchman, banker, broker.
promoter and later diplomatic envoy
to Abyssinia, Ellis, in his ambition to
be king Of Abyssinia, led a life Of adj
venture.
In 1904 he induced the state depart
ment to draw up a treaty with King
Menelik Of Abyssinia as the first step
in plan to Gust Menelik. The revo-
luton never materialized, however,
and Ellis returned to Mexico.
He was either Cuban or Of mixed
parentage, but preferred to be known
as Cuban.
Outside of transacting big business
with some Of the most prominent
white business men in this country or
in the world, William Henry Ellis
was colored man.-Editor.

Boston, Mass.-With the large 18th
Baptist Church which he had just
made clear of debt and has pastored
for "a years filed to capacity limit
and thousands standing in the rain
outside held back by police reserve,
sad and sincere honor was given the
memory of Rev. M. A. N. Shaw, Md,
by the people of Eastern Massachus-
etts at funeral service as large and
notable as Boston has known for a cit
izen of color. Never was sorrow and
the sense of personal loss and Of race
loss deeper, never more willing testi-
mony to kindness, nobility of soul
readiness to use great medical, intel
lectual and oratorical ability for indi-

strewn below it, stretched out on

the happiest and sunniest women on
Gods footstool. That was only an
earnest of the unspeakable joys that
awaited her when a few years ago she
left the house Of clay and went where
it is no longer necessary to "see thru
a glass darkly but face to face, where
Eve shall know even as we are
known" The occasion for greatest
happiness in heaven for Lizzie John
son was to find out the extent of serv-
ice she rendered by the use of her fin
gers in making bookmarks.
Sometimes our sea is race preju-
dice. This is especially true of Ne
groes in the United States. If the
question were asked, what in your
life stands biggest between you and
contentment" the average Negro
would answer, race prejudice. Be
cause Of it, we cannot buy many Of
the finer comforts, it makes no differ
ence how much money we have. Our
property is insecure and our lives I'M
safe. No Negro man can guarantee
his wife and daughter protection, be-
cause of race prejudice. That fact
humiliates him and keeps his wife and
children from regarding him with the
same esteem they would have if they
could look on him as standing be-
tween them and insult and injury.
Thank God the Bible is full Of rea-
sons for our believing that trouble
won't last always. Not only does the
Bible point to that conclusion, but the
signs of the times also. How else can
you account for the many books, mag
azine articles, editorials, private con-
versations and public utterances of
both white men and white women7
The Commission on Interracial Co
operation, composed of the best and
bluest blood of the South, is a most
definite promise to the Negro in
America, that trouble won't last al
ways" as it relates to race prejudice.
The mothers and fathers of the Anglo
Saxon race are hearing the call Of the
Negro child for a chance to develop
fully all the manhood and womanhood
qualities God has given them.
If you look for the evidence, brother
in your own neighborhood, you will
find enough to make you join in the
song: I'm so glad, trouble don't
last always"
