France HOnOrs Afri-
can Dead

Rheims, France, July 13.-Inaugur-
ating a monument today to the Negro
troops in the Great War, Gen. Arch
inard praised their courage and the
exalted part they took in the final
victory.
He replied to the German campaign
against the colored troops, saying
"Our black sharpshooters conducted
themselves like good Frenchmen,
showing themselves worthy of fight
ing by our side.
"They were terrible to the Ger
MANS" he continued, because they
regarded the Germans as savages
fighting with disloyal arms and de-
vastating everything from love of evil.
Our sharpshooters fought well for
France because she treats them with
humanity and justice, on the same
footing as her other citizens
Edouard Daldaier, Minister of the
Colonies, said that 100000 black
troops fought for France, and 10000
were killed on the battlefield.

Fisk University Now
Possesses Huge En-

In A m eric a for
School for Educa-
ton of Negroes

Nashville, July 17.-Combpletion of
the first million dollar endowment
fund ever to be established at col
lege for Negroes was announced today
by DR.. Fayette Avery Mckenzie, presi-
dent of Fisk University; which began
its career in an army barracks in
Nashville procured by General Clinton
B. Fisk in January, 1866.
This fund has been made possible
by matching a conditional offer of
S500,00O from the General Education
Board of New York. Among those
contributing are the Carnegie Corpor-
alton of New York, which gave $780,
600, and John f. Slater Fund of
Charlottesville, Va, the J. c. Penney
Foundation of New York and promin-
ent individuals III New York, Phila-
delphia, Chicago, Cleveland and Bos-
ton.
Anticipating the successful compile
ton of the $1,000,000 endowment
fund, the citizens OF Nashville or
ganized this spring to raise n sup
Elementary fund of $4,000 for Fisk.
This is the first time that any such
sum has been contributed by any
southern city for any type of Negro
education. Among the leaders in this
local campaign are bankers, business
men, educators and clergymen.
The endowment fund, the income of
which is to be applied exclusively to
teachers salaries, Is conspicuous
recognition of the leadership which
Fisk has achieved in meeting the
growing need for higher education for
the 100000 Negroes of the country
according TO Paul d. -Cravath, the in
ternationally known lawyer of New
York, who is chairman of the Board of
Trustees and whose father was a
founder of Fisk and served as its
president for twenty-five years. VIM.
H. Balden is in charge of raising the
funds.

N.A.A.C.P. WRITES THIRDPARTY
ASKING DECLARATION ON NEGRO
Urges Progressives to Act Against Dis
elimination

New York, July 11.-Following is
the text of the letter sent by the Ma
tional Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People, in 10th An
nual Conference in Philadelphia, to the
Third Party Convention in Cleveland ::
To the Cleveland Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action,
Gentlemen:
The National Association for the
Advancement of Colored People in
Fifteenth Annual Conference, speaking
for large portion of the thilllins Ne
groes of America, takes this Cpportun-
ity to lay before your conference c''r-
tain considerations touching the Negro
race.
The political power of Negroes has
greatly increased owing to TIE ""n
tinuous migration of black woi king
people from the DISTINGUISHING Soutl
to the Industrial centers of the North
Any political party which aims to at
tract tn votes of Negroes today must
first convince them of its determine
ton and ability to forward their in
dustrial and political and social eman-
cipation.
This emancipation involves the same
problems of labor and wage, Of mon
opoly and privilege, of effective indus
trial democracy, which face all labor
ing classes the world over.
But the American Negro has in adj
dition to these another and more subtle
and more dangerous problem, that OF
discrimination to keep him out of the
unions; discrimination in the unions
after he has joined; determinations
of all sorts TO deprive him of earn
ing Il decent livelihood.
1t is this widespread and determined
race discrimination that is alternating
the Negro vote from the progressive
liberal and labor vote, and is furnish
ing the capitalists free of charge not
only cheap and increasingly efficient
and nOn-union and union-hating labor,
but also large and growing vote in
the main industrial center of the
country.
We appeal to the Cleveland Con-
ference for Progressive Political Ac-
ton to take such enlightened and far
sighted steps against race and color
discrimination as will enable us to ap-
peal to our people in behalf of the
liberal and labor parties of the nation,
without being faced by the present in
controvertible fact that these very per-
sons are today greater enemies of our
right to earn decent bread and butter
than the captains of Monopoly and
Privilege.

GRAND LODGE KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS
FOR COLORADO AND JIJRISDIC-
TION CLOSES IN BLAZE OF
GLORY

Declared by many to have been the
greatest grand lodge session in its
history and beyond question the most
harmonious, the Knights of Pythias of
Colorado and jurisdiction, brought
their epoch-making session to close
last Friday night in banquet of ex-
ceptional brilliancy, at Zion Baptist
church.
Denver was proud to be host to the
grand fraternal order whose history
dates back to the days of chivalry. A
fine body of men, brave men indeed,
came in large numbers to represent
their respective lodges. They found
Denver ready and willing to extend a
warm welcome on every hand and
they left Denver, pleased and i'm
pressed with the genuiness of her hos
pitality. An open meeting on Wednes-
day night at Zion brought out fair
crowd to hear splendid program, at
which Mayor Stapleton was the prin-
cipal speaker. Grand Chancellor Geo
w. Davis, read his annual address to
the grand lodge delegates at this time
and it was an address full of helpful
suggestions and advice.
The climax of the week came with
the banquet of Friday night, in which
the fondest hopes of its sponsors were
surpassed. Covers were laid for $50,
but it was soon found that This num-
ber would be far exceeded and hur-
ried arrangements were made to care
for the overflow. A more dignified
good natured body of ell-groomed
men and handsomely gowned ladies
has never been held in Denver. DR..
Il. Z. McClain, bon mot par excellence,
was toastmaster and quite royalty he
did his part. There being no formal
program, speakers were called upon
from all sections, with the result that
many good speakers were heard and
local coloring injected into great
state gathering. 1t was n magnificent

they were found to "have no reliable

thorophone, in which the currents act

ly energized magnet.
The first and second types of loud
speakers are excellent in their limited
way. However, there are few seri-
Gus faults that entirely prevent them
from being considered as irst7class
loud speakers. One is that they can
not be used on very strong signals
without causing the diaphra gm to
strike the pole pieces of the small fixed
magnet and produce rattle IN the
loud speaker.
Another serious limitation to this
class of loud speakers is that when
high B battery vOltages, such as are
common in most audio frequency am
plifiers, are used, a DC current flows
through the windings of the phone and
exerts a strong downward pull on the
diaphragm. This causes the metal
diaphragm to be drawn out of shape
and will cause the loud speaker to
have hollow or tinny sound.
Gives Greater Amount of Sound.
In the third type of loud speaker
this factor need not be considered, as
the air gap is constant and fluctuations
of current through the windings of
the loud speaker do not change the
Importance of the circuit The DC
current from the b battery does not
act on the diaphragm of loud speakers
such as the thorophone. and less dis
tortion may be expected.
AT the same time the third type of
reproducer will not rattle or freeze
on extremely loud signals, yet will give
a greater amount of sound on ex-
tremely weak or faint signals A mica
diaphragm.
The particular shape of the horn
has great deal to do with the per-
Torrance of any loud speaker. From
a theoretical point of view, straight
horn is better than a curved one, and
the amount of Increase in the size of
the horn in proportion to its length
must be very carefully calculated for
pest results. Wnen THIS is once OD-
tanned the horn can be curved into
most any shape without destroying its
simplifying value or tonal qualities.
The material of which the horn is
composed is very important in regard
to the quality of music that will be re-
ceived and the faithfulness with
which the sounds are reproduced. A
horn made of wood or papier-mache
gives purer tone than a metal one,
which is liable to produce brassy over
tones or vibrations. Horns of some in
ert material, such as thorite, which
will not, vibrate or absorb the sound
waves, have been found to be most
satisfactory for loud-speaker use.

There, however, definite conclusions

been advanced, including development

tubes spill over This is especially the
case with the usual wire-wound instru-
ment, as the variation is not even, but
consists of small jumps as each turn
of wire is passed. 1t is obvious that
vernier attachment cannot be used
on the potentiometer itself, as it is i'm
possible to get any variation between
turns. The solution is to employ a
variable resistance of low value in
series with the potentiometer This
can take the form of a 30-ohm rheo-
stat If the potentiometer has a re-
sistance of 300 ohms, it will readily be
seen that, as a complete turn must be
made on each instrument to vary the
complete resistance, a ratio of ten to
one will be had. When using this
rheostat, it should be placed in series
with the potentiometer and the mega
tive lead of the "a battery. In OPP
Grating this vernier, the movable arm
should be placed about on the center
of the resistance. Now, when as fine
an adjustment as can be had is OBJ
tanned with the potentiometer, very
fine vernier effect can be made with
the rheostat. This attachment may be
used with any radio frequency receiv-
er and will prove extremely useful on
long-distance stations.-Radio News.

Three Glasses of Loud Speakers.
In its present usage, the term loud
speaker is applied generally to electro
phonic devices employing some means
of distributing sound over an area. 1t
is possible to divide loud speakers into
three separate and distinct classes,
however:
1. Those which make use of existing
telephone receivers by means of rub
Der connectors or clamps to attach a
pair of phones to a horn.
2. The type of speaker that uses a
single telephone receiver equipped
with cap to permit its being fastened
to the small opening of horn. In this
class can be included the numerous
loud speakers that incorporate tele-
phone of some sort in the base of the
horn.
3. The loud speakers constructed on
the solenoid principle. such as the

-IERE is no necessity for the
general public to become excited
about unpatriotic propaganda
seeping into the schools of the
United States, Milton Fairchild, chair
man of the Character Education insti-
tuition, says in reply to letter sent
out by Mrs. Anthony Wayne Cook,
president general of the Daughters of
the American Revolution.
Mrs. Cook warned state regents of
her organization against the "activi-
ties of those who are knowingly and
deliberately disloyal to our government
and our political institutions" but Mr..
Fairchild asserted that the school au-
thorities were competent to handle the
condition, and that it was impossible
for disloyal activities or propaganda to
get a start in the schools.

"are made up of trustworthy citizens,
superintendent and supervisors over
the body of teachers"

of "our most sacred and moral founda-
