Krugers Idea Was to
Make Camp on Ocean

The sight of the trackless ocean
and ship punching the waves, al
ways brings back to this writer the
authentic story of Paul Kruger, the
president of the Transvaal republic,
and his attempt to teach group of
HottentOt children the story Of Amer
ica's discovery, Pierre Van Passen
writes, in the Atlanta Constitution.
His representation of a ship conjured
up mental picture of a floating COW
cred wagon. Dom Paul's imagination
may have been magnificent, but it
failed him miserably on the occasion
when he was travelling from Capetown
to Southampton in the pathetic mis-
sion of seeking aid for his country at
the chancellOries of Europe. When
night descended Dom Paul, who in his
youth had slain an African lion with
his bare hands, became nervous and
agitated. Finally he could hold out
no longer. Briskly he climbed the
ladder to the captains bridge. The
officer saluted. "Tell me-" said the
Boer president, "where do you plan
to unhitch tonight. It's getting dark,
you know, and I think we had better
make camp" When treasured by the
skipper he went back to his cabin,
read the story of st. Pauls shipwreck,
drank a stein of beer and fell asleep.

The Dirty Work

The helplessness Of mere man in the
presence Of ordinary domestic tasks
was illustrated in the case Of the old
miner, who explained that he had once
tried to improve his cooking by study
ing a book of recipes. 1T was no

one of them receipts starts off with

Of the boys:

to wash, but wiping is such greasy

BOOK REVIEWS
By
MARY WHITE OVINGTON
Chairman, Board of Directors of
the N. A. A. G.. p.

"Cincinnati's Colored Citizens" by
w. P. Dabney. Published by The
Dabney Publishing Co., 412 Nc
Allister Street, Cincinnati, Ohio.
Price 1925, postpaid.
This book of 440 pages is strange
conglomeration of all sorts of ma
terial. There are extracts from mag
aZines and newspapers on various
subjects relating to the Cincinnati
Negro, there are hundreds of bio
graphical sketches; there are ae-
counts of churches and fraternal Or
CARNATIONS. Some of this is in small
type and some in large. There are
pages of short items such as: "The
first Interracial Conference took
place here this year" (No date), or
"Dr. L. A. Cornish achieved distinc-
ton as a physician, acquiring valu-
able property and last year returned
with his wife to Washington, the
city of his birth" (No date) 1t
ends with pages and pages of names
of colored citizens, arranged alpha
betically, without addresses, but
placed under headings of city sec
lions as East End" Walnut" etc.
And the book has no index so that
it is impossible to find any particula.
item without going through the
whole volume.
Why Mr.. Dabney did not write a
real book is hard to understand, as
when he does write, especially in the
historical section of the book, he is
always interesting. His account of
the settling of the city is good, and
some of his sketches of individuals
are excellently DONE. There is an
Illuminating chapter on the Negro in
politics. But he only writes for a
little time. Very shortly there will
come, From The Union, we have
the following extract" or 1--WE read
in The Crisis"
One quotation is by Lafcadio
Hearn, and we are grateful to have it
saved for us. 1t concerns Buck
town" and was written by Hearn in
The Commercial Gazette in the sew
enties. 1t is a vivid picture of ter
rible slum.
Mr.. Dabney has some extremely in
teresting things to say regarding
miscegenation. 1t will not be new
to colored people but it will certainly
/ be new to many whites. From his
account he did something to educate
Mr.. Schmidlapp and others.
With all this material, one wishes
that Mr.. Dabney had made worthy
study such as has been made of the
colored people in Philadelphia, Bos-
ton and New York. Judging from
my own experiences with my New
York study, however, I suspect that
in compiling a sort Of colored Ency-
clopedia and Blue Book for Cincin.
natl, he has taken the step most like
ly to bring him some return COM
mensurate to his work.

Land in Extreme North?

The theory that land exists between
Alaska and the pole has persisted for
hundreds of years, and DR.. R. A. Har-
ris, an American geographer, won con-
siderable notice a few years ago by
offering Arctic tide tables as proof Of
the existence Of large land mass
north Of Alaska, says Burt M. Nc
Connel, in the Independent. There is
also the fact that geese and ducks
have been observed flying directly
northward from Point Barrow during
the early summer, and returning with
their young a few months later from
the same point Of the compass. These
are few Of the interesting theories
in favor Of the existence of land.
