LINCOLN's HALF HOUR

Col. W. H. Cook. President Lin coln's bodyguard in 1865 at the White House, in his published re- collections in a magazine says: At eight o'clock in the morning immediately after dressing. the president would go into the library where he would sit in his favorite chair in the middle of the room and read a chapter or two in the Bible I think I am safe in saying that this was President Lincoln's inyariable custom-at least it was such during the time I was on duty with him. At about 8:3O he would join Mrs Lincoln and little Tad for breakfast..... As soon as| breakfast was over the president would go to his office"
 This glimpse of Abraham Lin- coln's morning half-hour with the Bible every day is commended to the consideration of those who say they have no time to read the Biz ble." Is it possible for anyone to- day in all America, to have any such ceaseless and awful burden of work and responsibility as Lin coin had at that time in the White House? Yet he made time for this.

Synonyms

Common usage IS greatly resPon- sibie for new words entering our dic- tionary, and advertising is largely responsible for common usage. {
 For instance, in the camera and in the photograph fields, there are two names which have virtually bel come synonyms for products manu7 factured in their respective indus tries. And, you will frequently hear a housewife mention a well-known trade name when discussing elec- tric refrigerators-withouta actually meaning that particular make. These names, through common us- age, are fast becoming general.
 In many parts of America, par ticularly in the continental south and west, the term Bourbon has become almost synonymous with whiskey-American whiskey. In the far west, you rarely hear the word, whiskey You hear two words Bourhon for American whiskey, and Scotch for foreign.
 On the eastern seabca.@ y tfBl same token, the term Rye IS used instead of Bourbon - again a syzS 'enym for American whiskey.
 Surveys have prOven that a ma@I who asks for Bourbon in the west, 0gl Rye in the east, is not necessarily E conscious of the grains which are predominant ingredients in those whiskies. He just mentions BourboAsl or Rye, because of common usage o@ those terms in their respective terxSsl tories.
 This writer has frequently hear8 people say in the east, like thae XYZ Rye, and in the west, hhsl that XYZ Bourbon. And yet that particular blended whiskey has neither Bourbon nor Rye dominant 1 flavor characteristics. It does have . flavor that appeals to the American taste, because of skillful blending okI a number of whiskies which may, basically, be Rye or Bourbon, or both. l
 Ifyou have found a blended whiS- 1 key that makes your particular taste buds happy, ask for it by name. fyoum merely say, Give me a Rye" or "Give me Bourbon" your dis- penser will take you literally be- cause he always tries to give you. just what you ask for. If you ask for blended whiskey you'll get itl :,
 And, apropos of blends, friend of ours recently asked, when we were discussing this subject, 'rYou know the greatest blend of all?" He ana swered his own question. "It isi America and it territories-a blend of the cream of the crop of many nations"
 And who can disagree with that7

Why Negro
History Week
In February

why do you have Negro History
Week celebrated SO near the time
when the classes in the schools are
changing from one semester to an
other2" inquired a principal of a
school recently in addressing the
director of the Association for the
Study of Negro Life and History
why not celebrate Emancipation
Day on the 10th, of March when
the schools are in session rather
than on a holiday, the first of jan
uary, when Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation in
1852" was the reply in the form
of another question.
Events determine these dates
rather than the convenience of the
public. We concentrate on Feb
ruary because it was a significant
month in the history of the Ne
gro. We concentrate especially
upon the second week of February
because the most important events
of concern to the Negro took place
at this time, Abraham Lincoln was
born on the 18th of February,
Douglass believed that he was
born on the 18th and George Wash
ington was born, not much later,
on the 22nd. All three were SOL

they weren't looking for way out that would be fair

satisfaction to both Sides and he makes friends for labor

our attitudes Friendiness begets rendlness Good

diers for freedom and believed that
the NEGROES should be liberated

diers for freedom and believed that
the Negroes should be liberated.
There took place during this
same month, moreover, many other
significant events of which we are
not generally informed. Charles
Lenoz Redmond, the greatest Ne
gro anti-slavery orator prior to the
rise of Frederick Douglass, was
born on the first of February. Jo-
seph c. Price, the educator and
only orator ever to be considered
as approaching equality with Doug
lass on the rostrum, was born on
the 10th of this month Senator
S. K. Bruce was invited to preside
over the u. S. Senate on the 18th
of the month in 1879. Bishop Dan
lei A. Payne, one of the ablest of
religious leaders and educators, was
born on the oath of the month in
1911. Inc dominican Republic was
proclaimed as established on the
9th in 1874 On the 2ath of this
month in 1776 George Washington
received Phillis Wheatley at his
camp in Cambridge, Mass
In the same connection we should
note that during February other
friends of the Negro played their
part. James C. Birney the Free
Soil candidate for presidency of the
U. S. in 1910 was born February
4 1892. Henry Wilson, the aboli-
zionist, was born February 90, 1905.

a strong bent for freedom, was born
February %, 1918, and should be
