HEAD ON COLLISION

Colliding head on with Chevro-
let driven by Ed Peterson Of Hanford
on the Hanford road just south Of
Grants corner, Monday evening, the
Ford touring car of George Harring-
ton turned over and was badly
wrecked but the four occupants, Mr..
and Mrs. Harrington and Mr.. and
Mrs. Franklin Beyers, miraculously
escaped injury beyond bad shaking
up and a few minor scratches. The
party was returning from Pasco when
they met the Peterson car which
had only one head light and accord
ing to Franklin Beyers, who was
driving the \ Harrington car, was
travelling in the middle of the road
instead of on the right side. When
the Ford turned over, Mrs. Harring-
ton, who was riding in the back seat,
was caught between the wrecked top
and the front seat in such way that
she was able to breath but could not
speak. She was quickly removed from
the wreckage practically uninjured.

NO RURAL DELIVERY
ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Last year through the generous
! cooperation of the press, the movies
and other advertising mediums,
Christmas mailers were induced to
dispatch their Yuletide presents
earlier in the month than ever be-
fore in the history of the institution
of gift exchanging in the holiday
season.
AS a result, the spectacle of the
last minute rush of former years,
with it's attendant heartbreaking la
Dor ,on the part of wearied nerve
worn store clerks and postal employ
ees, was avoided.
This year Postmaster General New
and First Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral John H. Bartlett have deter
mined to make an even better record
and to Danish for all time the suf-
fcring undergone in past years by
those engaged in the sale or trans
portation of gifts. They hope to
make "Shop Early" and Mail Early"
habit with the American people.
Mailing early does not mean De-
cember l or before, but if everyone
could get their holiday tokens in the
mail between December 10 and De-
cember 20, the post office could not
ask more.
Particular attention this year will
be paid to greeting cards. Despite
the success last year it was noted
that the last-Ininute mail consisted
largely of cards. Possibly many of
them were returned greetings to
friends, heard from on previous mail,
but overlooked on the original Christ
mas list. Unlike parcels and letters
containing money orders, cards, of
course, can not well be marked "Do
Not Open Until Christmas" There
fore, it is possible that the many
mailers hold them until the last to
insure delivery on Christmas Eve.
This class of mailers this year, how
ever, may find their cards undeliver-
ed until after Christmas Day.
Believing that the energies Of
postal employees should not be sap
ped to the last degree for any avoid
able reason, and, intent upon secur-
ing for them the same Christmas
privileges enjoyed by others, Post
master General New asks the hearty
cooperation of the public. The last
minute, or the zero hour has been
moved up so that all postal employee
es may eat their Christmas dinners
at home. Rural carriers will deliver
no mail at all on Christmas day
and clerks and carriers in the city
offices will stop work promptly at

''The Price of Free
DOM
CLincoln News Service)

Washington, June ., 1924.-In his
new book, "The Price of Freedom"
President Coolidge speaks out clear
ly in a vigorous, good old American
style that is very refreshing and ex-
tremely heartening. He speaks for
law and order and for self control,
and says: "We Americans have been
individualists. We are individualists
still. That sturdy spirit which makes
the pioneer is self-reliance. Without
it no people ever achieved liberty.
With it no people can be held in sub
lection. In the protection of the
rights of the individual our constitu-
ton and our laws set up n new stand
ard, guaranteeing their maintenance
against all the forces of society, or
even of government itself. Nothing
must be permitted to encroach upon
those rights. They are the founda-
ton upon which stands the whole edi-
flee of our institutions. If ever the
citizen comes to feel that our govern
ment does not protect him in the free
and equal assertion of his rights at
home and abroad, he will withdraw his
allegiance from that government, as
he ought to do and bestow it on some
more worthy object. 1t is idle to as
sumo that the privilege of the strong
has been destroyed unless the rights
of the weak are preserved. The Amer
lean theory of government means that
back of the humblest citizen, support
ing him in all his rights, organized for
his protection, stands the whole force
of the nation. That is the warrant
and the sole warrant of his freedom.
He can assert 1t in the face of the
world. The individual has rights, but
only the citizen has the power to pro-
tect rights And the protection OF
rights is righteous"

Woman Attorney
Is Candidate

Columbus, o., May 30 PNS)-Col-
ored Republicans of Columbus are be-
coming imbued with a marked degree
of race-cOnsciOusness in connection
with the candidacy of Miss Daisy D.
Perkins, successful woman attorney,
for state representative.
Left motherless at the tender age
of fourteen months, Attorney Perkins,
through untiring efforts and applica-
ton and Il determination, qualified
herself and became one of Ohio's first
colored woman lawyers, and now en-
joys a large clientele. The records of
the prosecuting attorneys office will
show that Miss Perkins has wone
criminal cases during the last two
years than any of the other 500 law
years in Franklin county. OF the 800
lawyers, twenty are colored.

Democrats to Take
Anti-Klan Stand

Indianapolis, Ind, May 20 With
the Republicans of this state lined up
definitely with the Ku KluX Klan,
Democrats in their convention here
June 9Th are expected to take a de-
cided anti-Klan stand.
DIR. C. b. Mccullough, Democratic
nominee for governor, has declared
squarely afainst the Klan.
The following plank has been sub
mitted to the state convention by the
National Council of Catholic Men:
"We condemn without equivocation
or mental reservation all prescription
of people because of creed, color, race
or religion. We are unalterably op-
posed to the pernicious practices of
the Ku Klux Klan and all other or
ganiZations the effect of whose very
existence is to create dissension and
disorder, divide communities and to
cause animosity and bitter enmity
among people where friendship and
amity among would otherwise prevail
If the Democrats come out against
the Klan, that will take some 3O,oOo
colored voters from Republicans.

Negro Riveter Still
Holds Worlds Rec
ord
(Lincoln News Service)

New York, June ., 1924.-Although
after a remarkable performance on
May 10Th, Goodman Rich, white, an
expert riveter, who had just driven
30S seven-eighths inch steel rivets in
81 minutes, an average of better than
eight per minute, laid claim to the
worlds riveting record, investigation
of official riveting records shows that
Charles Knight, Il Baltimore Negro,
still holds the worlds record as a
riveter. At the works of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corporation, in 1918, Knight
drove 1875 three-quarter inch rivets
in nine-hour day, or an average of
better than nine Il minute. For both
speed and endurance Knights record
is still the world title. A riveter in
the Scotland shipyards is also close to
the riveting speed kings.

Fifth Year Since the
Passing of the Late
Madam C.. J. Walker

THE Sunday just past marks the
fifth year since the passing of
- the late Madam C. ]. Walker, but
Madam Walker is not forgotten. After
all, however sad it is to realize that
in the natural course of things we all
must go, on the other hand it is heart
ening to know and feel that if we
serve well and unselfishly we will not
be forgotten. Madam Walker will not
only live in the charities that she gave
and the good that she did, but will
live in the heart of every colored boy
and girl in the grateful consciousness
of a struggling race. Madam c. j.
Walker stands out as the premier
philanthropist of her race, not be-
cause she was the first to give largely
to the Y. NJ. c. A., but because her
total philanthropic gifts are not even
approached by any person of color. 1t
must be remembered that in addition
to her many other gifts, the large
trust funds created, that she left $685.
600 in cash bequests to individuals,
schools and colleges throughout the
country. Yes, Madam C. ]. Walker
will be remembered, loved and hon
ored on down the ages.

Exercises of Tuske-

-HE 43rd Commencement Exer-
cises of Tuskegee Normal and
II Industrial Institute have just
closed. They will go down as
the greatest in the history of the
school; auspicious for their large at
tendance and the large graduating
class.
Full 10000 persons attended, many
coming from far-away points to wit
ness the graduation of their son or
daughter, to honor the great institu-
tion founded by the late Booker T.
shocked by the magnitude of this hu-
man character builder and this isolat-
ed but no less great contributor to our
good American citizenship.
Many noteworthy events made up
the commencement, among them being
the Annual Alumni meeting ut which
Mr.. Walter l.. Hutchinson of the class
of 1914 spoke; Class day, the annual
field meet, etc, etc. But yet echoing
through all Tuskegee and commented
upon by faculty and student body
alike, is the masterful address of At
torney f. b. Ransom, general mama
ger of the Nine. C. J. Walker Mfg.
Co. of Indianapolis, Ind, who spoke
Thursday morning, May %, in the
chapel before one of the largest grad
uating and commencement crowds in
the history of the school.
Ripe with the philosophy of his wide
experience, colorful with wonderful
mental pictures, highly youthful in
student appeal, and richly interspersed
with timely humOr, Attorney Ransom
thrilled the stupendous audience and
branded the outgoing graduates with
profound determination to carry
Tuskegee's teachings wherever they
may roam. Ninety-One boys and girls
as the graduating class We're his spe-
cial audience and from their express
sion of gratitude, their apparent seri-
business and their seeming determina-
ton they were greatly benefited. En-
couraged and led on by the helpful
address of Attorney f. b. Ransom, the
race may expect much from the class

Beach Proposed

Washington, June 2, 1924.-A bath
ing beach will be established in the
Tidal Basin for the special benefit of
the colored people of the district, if
the necessary funds are appropriated
by Congress, it is announced. An ap-
preparation of $4,000 has been avail
able for Il colored bathing beach in the
district for the past two years. Va
rious sites were chosen by Col. Sher-
rill, the officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds, but none of
them We're acceptable to the represen-
tatives of the colOred people. One of
these was at the south end of Column
bia Island, near the Virginia shore,
and another was at the Virginia end
of the Francis Scott Key bridge.
Finally, after appeals for the location
of the colored bathing beach in the
Tidal Basin on the shore opposite the
existing bathing beach for white peo-
pie, the secretary of war has agreed
to the proposition provided Congress
increases the available appropriation
to an amount sufficient for the pur-
pose. He has presented the matter to
the chairmen of the District of Colum-
bia congressional committees.
