We extend hearty greeting to

London Tower Beefeater
Not Woman of the Guard

One of LondonTs greatest draws is
the Tower of London where a Beef
eater, or Yeoman of the Guard,
is always to be found on guard in
his picturesque scarlet and gold uni
form. But Beefeater is only his
nickname; he is not really Yeo-
man of the Guard, and although his
uniform is the oldest in the British
army, he is not really soldier.
The name Beefeater is a corrup-
ton of Buffetier, the name given to
Yeomen of the Guard who served at
royal dinners in days gone by, says
PearsUn's London Weekly. The
Beefeater does not descend from
these yeomen. but from the warderS
who acted as assistants and were
allowed to wear yeomen's uni
form.
Another version Of the origin OF
the name Beefeater was that a
grand duke of Tuscany. visiting
Britain in 1869, was so struck by
the size and girth Of the tower
warders that he asked if they fed
entirely on beef.
All the Beefeaters are old soldiers
with distinguished records, and they
play an important part in the cere-
monies that have been handed down
from Norman times.

Negro Births,
Deaths Given
By Census Dept.
Number of Negro Births and
Deaths: 1886, 1885, 1884, 1888

Number of Negro Births and
Deaths: 1886, 1885, 1884, 1888
There were Psi, O9S Negro births
reported in the United States dur
ing the year 1886, as compared
with 1872, 748 deaths, or an excess
of $3.50 births over deaths, &C
cording to w. L. Austin, Director
of the Census. In 1895 the number
of births exceeded the number of
deaths by 77,6O1. This decrease in
the excess of births over deaths
was mainly the result of an in
crease of 1925 in the number of
deaths. At the same time there
was a decrease of 4,026 in the num-
Der of births.
In the South the excess of births
over deaths in 1886 was 81, 455.
Outside the South there were g.
LOS more deaths than births. Ken
lucky, Tennessee, and Oklahoma
we're the only southern states in
which the deaths exceeded the
births. In the North the only states
n which the births of Negroes ex-
iced the deaths were Pennsylvania,
New Jersey, New York, Massa-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island
and Michigan.
In the state of New York the
excess of births over deaths de-
creased from 1,473 in 1888 to 293
in 1886; in New Jersey, from 1,048
to els; in Pennsylvania, from l.
10 to Gel; in Maryland, from l.
1856 to 1872; in Michigan, from 369
to 1877. Other Midwest industrial
states, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
Missouri reported increases of Ne
gro deaths over births from 1888 to
1886. Increases in the excess of
births over deaths in 1886 as COM
pared with 1888, were reported for
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Flor
ida, Mississippi, Louisiana and the
District of Columbia. Massachu-
sets was the only state with a
Negro population of $4,000 or more
that reported fewer deaths in 1886
than in 1885.
Commenting on these figures,
Director Austin said, eve have
reason to believe that in many
states, especially in the South, the
registration of Negro births is de-
ficient although every effort is be-
ing made to correct that situation.
If the records were complete the
actual excess of births shown would
probably be larger than the above
figures indicate. 1t is to be hoped
that Negroes everywhere will take
pains to see that the births occur
ring in their families or in the COM

TLanl giving in February

Imagine thanks giving day in Feb
ruary. To South Carollnians it was
an actual occurrence almost a CEN
fury and quarter ago, for a pre-
served copy of the famous pioneer
newspaper. the Pendleton Messen-
ger, reveals that once the state OBJ
served the feast of Thanksgiving on
the first Thursday in February. In
the issue of February 3, 1919, this
journal carried a proclamation CIV

Geddes and the seal of the state,
that reserved the day in early Feb
ruary to acknowledge the goodness

School Board Fights
To Keep Records
From NAACP

Upper Marlboro, Nd, May -
The Board of Education of Prince
Georges county, which is being
sued by a colored teacher in an
effort to remove the discrimina-
ton in salaries paid to Negro and
white teachers, is not willing TO
open the minute books Of the
board to attorneys representing
the teacher, and the National As
ISOLATION for the Advancement of
Colored People, will have to engage
in preliminary legal action ia or
der to inspect the records.
The Board of Education told the
NAACP lawyers to submit a list
of questions covering the informa-
ton desired and that the board
would inform them whether or not
information was in the minrses.
The NAACP lawyers replied
that the school board minutes are
public documents open to any eli
tizen for inspection at will and
that they would do their own in
vestigating. The NAACP lawyers.
Thurgood Marshall and Charles
H.. Houston, have served notice
that now they desire ito inspect
the minutes of the board all the
way back from he time Negro
schools were established and sep
arate Negro and white teachers
were employed. Thurgood Mar
shell has begun an action for a
writ of man1amus to compel Nj
choi1s 0rem, iureeintandent of
the Board of Education of Prince
Georges county, to open up the
minute books for inspection.
The fight for erualizat on of
salpries in Prince Georges coun-
tv IS one more step in the cam
paign Of the NAACP to remove
iFiamNalities in pubs education.
Three couf ties in Maryland al
reedv have agreed out Of court
to eoualize teachers salaries and
The additional amount of pay 50
far secured for Negro teachers is
mere tFan $4,000 a year.
As I. znsulh Sff the NAACP
campaign Governor W. Nice an
nounced some months ago that he
intended 70 ask tho Legislature to
remove all inequolities in salaries
based on coor. If this is done
throughout the state. even though
If may take a period Of from two
to three years, it will result even

There have been smaller skirm-

The Unlucky Eighth

One person in every eight who bought used car on the instlment plan in the year 1897 failed to meet his obligations and lost his car. Only one out of 25 buyers of new cars lost out within the year. The period of payment for cars, however, in only too many cases runs to 1o months or two years, so the end of that story has not yet been told.
 The lost cars represent small per- centage of genuine bad luck--that is to say, unforeseen illness or loss of job which could not be avoided But large per- ccntage of the losers were persons of bad judgment about their finances. The American goes so gaily out to buy his car 50 gaily uses it for q time, letting it's payments put him behind with the grocer and the landlord and so chcerfully lets it go with hope for better luck next time, but with his family and his other cerditors in worse shape than before. If he could but watch his step little more closely, markets of all kinds would be sounder
 But anyhow, says he, look at the seven fellows who kept theirsl And the 24 buyers of the new models who are still driving them. True. Most of us, after all, do pay our bills and continue to enjoy our automobiles.
