DR.. B. F. Smith, our district super
intendent, arrived in the city Thurs
day, April 8, to conduct the last
quarterly conference of our current
conference year. At 800 p. m, Sum
day, April II, he will serve the Holy
Communion and confirm the newly
elected officers, in addition to deliv-
ering one of his distinctive, forceful,
dynamic sermons This is a treat
no member or friend should over
look, for this will be DR.. Smiths last
visit to our city in the capacity or
district superintendent, unless he is
re-appointed by the bishop. This SER
vice, as we'll as the regular IL o'clock
worship hour will be held in the
Beacon Light S. D. A. church, GIG
Lyndale avenue north.
The Go-Getters club sponsoA ed a
Feast OF Seven Tables at the new
parsonage, 812 Fourth avenue north,
on Tuesday, April 6. Members and
friends were enthusiastic in their ap-
proval of the delicious turkey and
ham dinner which was served. Be-
ginning service at 500 p. m, they
had disposed of all food by $3.50.
Many were turned away, besides
those who were forced to wait their
turn to be served. The clubs eff
forts were rewarded in a very large
and fine way, both financially and
in attendance.

the team led by Captain Stafford

in the league. The boys are to be
commended for maintaining this
splendid record, which means as
much, if not more than champion

It so happened that some obscure
vessel (whose name I do not recalD,
was sunk shortly after. 1t also hap
pened that the only man killed in
this sinking, was an American Negro
fireman. Result 100000 men
under arms, $4,000 killed, several
hundred thousand disabled by
wounds, disease and other causes.
Nobody knows how much in dollars
and cents, for all of the bills haven't
been presented yet.
So boys, take your eyes off the
monument in Boston Commons, veri-
fly this, and I believe that you will
admit that it goes you one better.
One of the most touching scenes
at the spring conference, was the
presentation of Miss Ann Griffin,
head nurse at the Veterans hospital,
with a diamond ring and scroll, as
tribute from Minnesota Legion
naires, for years of service to the
sick and disabled veterans lover and
above the call of duty"
We do not believe a more worthy
person could be found for such trib-
ute. Her high sense of fairness has
meant more to our sick and disabled,
and for that matter, the influence
of her fairmindedness, spreading
throughout the state, has meant
more to our group as whole, than
the efforts of many who Clair % be
specialists in inter-racia. nat CTS.
The peculiar thing is that she. does
not try to fight battles for others,
she just does what she does because
she is just, and being Nurse, kind.
Good luck Miss Griffin, and if we
ever have to come back, were you
not there, your "hows my little
daisies this morning." would certain
ly be missed.

I.BEREORGE EDITOR
SAYS STRONG DRINK
is ON the increase;

Wilberforce, O.-(Calvin Service)
Drinking among college students,
both men and women, is on the in
crease, according to an editorial cap
toned Student Drinking" in the
current Negro Journal of Religion"
edited by Lendell Charles Rirley.
The editorial says: "a recent sur
vey made on student drinking reports
that women students have lost their
aversion to drinking, and that drink
ing by both male and female STU
dents is on the increase.
"A report of this character ought
to be viewed with alarm. First be-
cause of the detrimental effects OF
drinking upon the physiques OF the
drinkers and upon the children that
may ultimately be born to them. 1t
should next be regarded with concern
in view of the implication to charac-
ter and the general moral life OF the
nation. If the educated of the land
turn intellectually to drink there
is little hope for the unframed. linen
there is the matter of the cause; II
conditions in the world are SO bad
that even the children must drink to
escape their troubles it is time Tor
the elders to reorganize society and
make living more tolerable.
whatever may be the cause
something sensible should be done to
teach the youth of the day that they
can't make it to a successful career
on a wine glass. The words OF
co,on,on are as true today as when
first spoken: Wine is a mocker'
strong drink is raging, and whose
ever is deceived thereby is not
wise!"

VOICE OF The LEGION

l am not one to indulge in his
torical items from Race standpoint,
not because I am not interested in
the activities of our group, nor am
1 any the less proud of their achieve
ments, especially, as men at arms.
I feel that have no right to en-
croach upon an already much worked
segment of interest. So 1 make
apology to our race "chronicleers,"
and take the only shot I know of that
has been overlooked, or at least not
much stressed.
1 have often wondered why it was
never mentioned by these mile
posters that Negro probably played
an as important part in the Incl
dent that caused our entry into the
World war, as did Chrispus Attacks
in his time. Notwithstanding the oft
repeated assertion that the sinking
of the Lusitania caused our entry
into this embroglio, this is as we
recall it, only half truth.
Our recollection is that when the
LuSitania was sunk, the President
advised Germany that the death of
any more American citizens due to
any overt act on the part of Ger
many, would result in a declaration
of war,

In The Kitchen
Salads

Preparation of a Salad-A we'll
prepared salad is a good food. 1t is
necessary, however, to prepare it so
that it may be pleasing in appear
ance as well as in taste. The green
vegetables used for salads should be
crisp, cold and dry when served. If
several food materials are used, the
flavors should blend. Have the salad
dressing well seasoned, and its in
gradients well proportional. Add the
dressing to salad just before serv-
ing.
Lettuce-Lettuce forms a part of
almost all salads. 1t is often used as
a bed for a salad, or as border.
For the latter purpose, it should be
cut into strips with the scissors.
Keep the lettuce in a cold place;
separate the leaves, and place them
in cold water until crisp and fresh.
Wash and look over carefully to see
that no insects cling to them. Shake
the water from the leaves or place
in a cheescloth bag. Then place
the bag in the refrigerator to drain.
The leaves may also be dried with
towel.
