CATHOLICS PREPARS
FOR SEPT. CONVENTION

Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 18 CAMP DR..
S. j. Markee, director of publicity for
the National Catholic Interacial Fed
Grafton arrived here this week and
opened headquarters for the annual
convention which will be held Septem-
Der "a at the Cleveland Cathedral of
ST. John.
Last year the convention met inNew
York City. 1t was estimated that four
thousand colored Catholics attended st.
Patrickis Cattle 5'al to receive Holy
Communion at that time. 1t was at
this session that controversy over
certain interracial aspects of the organ
ization which attracted national at
tention sprang up, between the then
President, DR.. Thomas w. Turner and
various officials of the organization. DIR.
Turner subsequently deposed by the
executive committee was succeeded by
George W. B. Conred of Cincinnati
who will preside over the Cleveland
session.
A conference on the Negro in Indus
try is to be held on Saturday Septem-
Der 2 proceeding the convention. The
Catholics are noted for their regimenta
ton of their white communicates into
jobs, 1t is hoped that they may secure
similar consideration from employers
for their colored members. The con-
ference last year aroused wide spread
interest.

Chicago, Aug-Visitors to the Foods

to their best advantage to view the col

meal
So many are the tempting morsels
on display, and so attractively are they
presented that Mr.. Average Visitor dis

been but recently appeased, his mouth
is likely to water and his stomach de-

and ielies and host of other tempters
meet the visitors eye m riot of color
and light and motion that proves that
lifeless things can be exhibited in
manner that never becomes dull and
heavy-in a manner that invites look

Exhibitors have spared little in Food
Building. Good things to eat are shown
before backgrounds of twinkling stars,
and lighted fountains, in spic and span
kitchens and brilliant hued display
counters. Pretty attendants, in dainty
costumes are ready to explain and ans
wer questions.
Beneath all this sugar coating the
visitor finds some Of the most ingenious
and educational displays of the whole
Fair.
Just inside the main entrance arc
eight kitchens that tell story at once
thrilling and touching of the progress
in the workship of the American home.
There is an Acadian kitchen such az

LID BLAMED

In reading a certain editorial, the
blame is laid at the feet of the l. l.. D.,
but to our minds it is put at the wrong
place. We believe that those prisoners,
when taken from Tuscaloosa, should
have been amply provided with protec-
ton. The /. L. D. is made up and run
by the white race. The south is run
bv the white race and there should be
no intimation that the Negro has right
to check the works and doings OF the
I. L. D. If the l. L. D, is wrong, the
white man is the one to put check
to it, the Negro cannot do it. Accord
irg to reports the mother and father
of at least one Of these colored youths,
together with the Colored Ministerial
Alliance of Tuscaloosa asked that the
IL D. refrain from interfering in this
case. This being true, Alabama should
have seen to it that the Negroes ct
least have a fair trial.
What if the Negro does realize that
his best interests lie with working
hand in hand with those who know him,
that is the white man? If the white
permits foreign organizations to come
in and interfere there is nothing for
the Negro to do but hush.
| have never thought that the resolu-
ton intro duced by the Colored Al
lance Of Tuscaloosa nor the request
made by the mother and father, that
the l. l.. D. play hands off, meant any
thing to the Negro whatever. And TO
nv mind, this lynching has proven
this to be true. There is nothing that
we can do as race with the sword;
there is nothing that we do by fight
irg and abuse. We must go prayertully

condition to get into the hearts CT

science: touch their humanitarian spirit

TWO NEGRO CHILDREN
LYNCHED
BIRMINGHAM AGE HERALD RE
PORTS PROBE

According to reports in the Birming-
ham Age Herald in Tuesdays Morn
ing issue, the grand jury will be called
to investigate the lynching of two
Negro youths. At this writing the third
Negro is still missing. We hope that
the probing of this lynching will be one
of reality. Some time ago, several
white men, probably more than fifteen,
were accused of killing a Negro in
Mississippi 1t was reported that these
men were arrested, the case was sup
posed to have been investigated, how
ever, it is reported that the matter was
postponed probably indefinitely.
WHERE is THE HONOR?
We ask this question: What honor
and glory can white lynchers get out
of taking the life of helpless Negro?
If these Negroes were guilty of the kill
ing that they were accused of, they
should have been punished according
to law and no man or set Of men have
tI4e right to take the law in their hand
from what we have read in daily l'a
pers with reference to the method that
was used in transferring these prisoners
to Birmingham, it seems to us to have
been one of the weakest attempts on
the part of officers of the law to pro-
tect prisoners that we have ever heard

 With wealth of information, and after having. collected a large guan- tity of relics of prehistoric human beings and animals in research work on St. Lawrence Island, Otto Geist, eminent archaeologist, returned to the Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines. He spent five months this year on the island and has devoted six seasons to scientific inquiry into sthe earliest inhabitants of the Northland. \
 On the island, Eskimoq labor. was used exclusively fns excavating. A 2OO- foot cut, 30 feet wide and ranging be- tween Is and IS feet sdeep,s was made into An enormonss. ancient mound of frozen debris.
 The excayating,. began in 1881, was continued the two, following years. Much' interesting material was en- countered, and perhaps the finding of a human skeleton at a depth of about l. feet, together with. decorated spec imens,, will be of great value to

science. The skeleton evidently be- longed to a person living during a so-called .,intermediater cultural stage. As is well, known, the oldest culture thus far in Alaska is the "Old Boring Sea culture." while several in termediate cultures are identified by their different styles of decorations on weapons and utensiles.
 On and near the bottom of the ex- cayation floor many wonderful "Old Boring sea" specimens, decorated with beautiful l curvilinear designs. were found, while specimens of the first upper house, which was of com- paratiyel yrecent origin, bore no signs of decorations.
 Indications thus show that. the art degenerated somewhat with each sue cessive wave. of newcomers. The first three or four periods of inhabitations did not show any real artistic talent.
 Just who the first4comers were sci entists do not know, but Mir. Geist understands that Dr. Alex Hrdicka. the eminent antthropologist, has gone very far in solving this very import ant problem. For this reason all the human skeletal material encountered in Alaska College is forwarded in large cases to Dr. Hrdlicka at Wash ington, D. c.
 Quite important, also, was the find ing of. several hundreds of dog skulls, inasmuch as they will represent some of the first dogs ever brought to Alaska from Asia by way of Boring Sea. All the dog material has been forwarded to Dr. O.. J. Nitric, sci enlist fully capable of describing the ancient St. Lawrence Island dogs.
 Polar bear skulls encountered were forwarded to the eminent paleonthol- ogist of the American Museum of Natural History at New York City, Dr. Childs Prick, who has already dis covered among the material possible new specie, now extinct.
 Other interesting material, except ing the ethnological specimens which go to the College Museum, was for warded to scientists studying speci- mems in their particular fields.

HANDBAGS OVERCOME

An anonymous writer has called at
tention to some of the handicaps which
were overcome by those whom the world
now recognizes as geniuses and leaders of
the first rank Among these mentioned
are the following:
Demosthenes, who became one of the
worlds greatest orators, suffered in his
youth.
julius Caesar and Napoleon Bona
parte, two of the greatest generals and
statesmen of all time, were epileptics. So
was Mohammed, who founded a religion
which now has more than 200 million adj
herents.
Alfred the Great, considered the wis
ct, best and greatest king Of England,
had lifelong internal disease.
Among authors and poets Carlyle was
i dyseptic, Byron had q club foot, Keats
had tuberculosis. Milton was blind, and
Pope was hunchback
Darwin suffered from nervous dis
ease, and Beethoven composed some of
his most majestic musical works after he
had become totally deaf.
III our own generation. the great Stein
metz, was deformed dwarf, and Helen
Keller, one OF Americas most accomplish
ed women, has been deaf and blind from
childhood.
The list of world famous notables who
have labored under serious handicaps
might be extended almost indefinitely
Their example should be inspiring to any
who are inclined to complain about minor
arfliet;ons or difficulties.

WHEN FIGHTERS FOUGHT

PTize-Iightiag is not q particularly
elevating sport, yet it has many devotees,
even among persons Of high official and So
cial position. Ladies of unquestioned
standing re f-eq~enting boxing bouts in
large numbers
Considering the unsatisfactory exhi-
billions which have been staged of late,
even among fighters who have held or as
PRED to world championships, it is re-
markable that the boxing world has been
able to hold It's customers so we'll. 1t is
natural therefore, that comparisons are
being made between modern pugilists and
the old-timers.
Many have sIeculated, for example,
on what would have happened If Tohn +.
Sullivan IN lis prime had net fighter
like Jack Dempsey or Tunney.
No one will ever know, but when it
is remembered that Sullivan and Kilraine
forsnt IS rounds with bare knuckles in the
last championship contest under London
prizs ring rules, The stamina of those old
timers can not discounted That was
in $685. since which time gloves have been
used, and no championship battle has last
co more than rs rounds under the new
rules.
Under the old London bare-knuckle
rules round did not end until one of the
fighters IDS on the ground. Then, after
only 80 seconds rest, they went at it again.
AS Jack Dempsey has pointed out,
while sullivan in his decline was defeated
by Jim Corbett is a glove contest, Sullivan
went to his grave as the undefeated bare
Sullivan, most of our modern fighters seem
like mollycoddles.
