Xiied in Attempt to Save Pet. %
i
v Determined etforts by ladies of
high social position to smuggle pet
dogs without license into England
were recently described to a representative
at the diseases of animals
branch of the board of agriculture,
London. It takes the combined intelligence
of Scotland Yard and the customs
officials to out-maneuver some
dog lovers. Recently, on board a
^teamer crossing to England, a foreign
princess was seated on a deck
stool and a wind was blowing. A
shrewd observer, whose duty it was
to be inquisitive with his eyes, happened
to catch sight for a moment
of a little dog's wagging tail. On
landing the lady, in reply to the
usual questions, said she had nothing
to declare. "No dog, madame?"
"Certainly not." "Then," said her
questioner, "I must send for the female
searcher to have your statement
verified." "In that case," said the
lady, "if you will allow me a couple
of minutes by myself I'll produce my
little dog.'' Which she did.

WILL RELEASE NEGROES.
Appeal From Farmers to Be Answered.
Washington, June S.?Negro agri- cultural
and industrial workers, serving
at present in labor battalions in 1
Southern camps, and much needed
just now in their home communities,
will be released from the army
as rapidly as they can be replaced
with hired civilians, according to assurances
given Senator Dial by the
war department.
Urgent representations were recently
made by the South Carolina
senator to the secretary of war concerning
the acute labor shortage on
farms in his Sta'te and also in various
industrial activities. Many of
these men. expecting discharge early
in the spring, had crops put into the
ground for them and both the men
and their landlords will suffer loss
unless the men can get out of the
army in the near future. Secretary <
Baker showed interest in the special
problems presented and had the matter
investigated by a -South Carolinian,
Major General Henry Jervey,
assistant chief of staff and director of
operations.
General Jervey has written to Senator
Dial as follows:
"In this connection permit me to
advise you that the war department
appreciates the necessity of the return
of these negro laborers to their
home communities and to the industrial
interests which they left when
they entered the military service. It
is the intention of the department to
release them just as rapidly as their
services can be spared. Many have
already been replaced by hired
civilians, and camp commanders now
have instructions from the war department
to replace the negro labor
battalions at their respective camps
by hiring civilians. This will be done
just as soon as the civilians can be obtained.
The war department desires
to assure you that it is endeavoring
to reduce its military establishment
as rapidly as possible, for it is readily
understood that such reduction is
in accordance with public desire everywhere
throughout the country,
and that it will relieve at the same
time the labor situation in certain
lines of industry and also will result
in a saving of federal funds.
"The war department has a practical
problem in the matter of re- i
turning and demobilizing the troops
from abroad, and must maintain the
necessary personnel to accomplish
this and also provide the means connected
with the preservation of government
property and caring for the
best interests of the government."
m i > ?
Model Town for Negroes.
A model town, constructed by the ;
government exclusively for negroes,
was formerly opened with appropriate
ceremonies Sunday at Truxton.
Va., as the new town is known, took
its place on the map as a suburb of i
Portsmouth. Built, primarily as a
war measure to aid the great Hampton
Roads naval base, the 224 buildings
in the little town will not be
sold immediately by the government i
but will be rented from $16 to $18
monthly.
The town is one of the 24 housing :
projects the United States housing
corporation is rapidly completing i
throughout the country for the government,
representing a returnable
value of more than $25,000,000 and
consisting 'of 6,000 houses and 64
apartments which by the end of June :
will be returning $2,500,000 per '
year in rentals to the government. :
Final disposition of the houses rests
with congress.
Truxton covers 90 acres and con- tains
six store buildings which it is
proposed to operate under a stock
company formed by the tenants.
Members of the negro race are taking
great interest in Truxton and a negro <
advisory commission under T. C. Irwin,
supervisor of negro economics
for Virginia, is co-operating. Industrial
concerns throughout the country <
also are watching the experiment j
with a view to similar provision for ?
housing negro workers. ]
< < i ? (
A Time-Table Change.
" C
On a certain suburban line one <
train was taken off and another rd- (
tered suddenly. So the station mas- J
ter told hisassistant, whose name ]
happened to be Pat, to give notice
of the chanee to nassensers who were
waiting.
Soon he heard an uproar, and on
going outside heard Pat repeat at <
the top of his lungs:
"This is to inform ye all that on
and after tomorrow the 10 o'clock
train will shtart at noine-thirty, and (
there will be no last train."
m m ?
The Perfect Come-Back.
i
"Willie, your master's report of 1
I
your work is very bad. Do you know ,
that when Woodrow Wilson was your <
age he was head of the school?"
"Yes,-pa; and when he was your .
age he was president of the United
States."
OLD MISSIONARY PRAYERS.
Early Baptists Folowed Judson's Carreer
With Faith and Hojk?.
A few days ago, says the editor of
The Watchman-Examiner, a deacon
in a church of which we were once
pastor, died at the age of more than
90 years. He was a man of strong
mind and a remarkably tenacious
memory, and his recollections of experiences
and events happening very
early in his life were clear and interesting.
He was born in 1S19, two
years before Adoniram Judson went
to Burma, and while he could not, of
course, remember that event, he did
remember the interest that characterized
the Christians at home during
the earlier years of his work the^e.
His father was a pious farmer in the
State of New York, in whose home
^1? r -"i - nitfl. tiA o cot n n n i!? h t
lilt; 1 ct JLii 11* alien ??ac
and morning. Our friend said that
among his earliest recollections was
that of hearing his father pray every
night and every morning, "God bless
Brother Judson, and give him a convert
soon." Whatever else was in
the prayer or was omitted from it,
that petition never failed. It was always
there.
Then one day, when the boy was
about nine years old, his father came
home from the postoffice, driving at a
rather undeaconly gait, and leaping
from the wagon ran into the house
waving a newspaper over his head.
"Mother! Mother!" he shouted, excitedly,
"there's a convert! There's
a convert at last!" And sure enough,
in the paper?probably The Christion
Watchman, which was the only
Baptist journal in existence at that
time?there was the account of the
baptism by Mr. Judson of Moung
Xau, the first Burmese convert to
the 'Christian faith, which had occurred
at Rangoon June 27, 1828.
Our friend recalls that for days his
father and mother could talk of little
else, and that* other members of
the church were as much excited over
the news as they. Of course, with
the greatly broadened work and the
immensp results of missinnarv ODera
tions in our day it would be impossible
to preserve this deep personal interest
in particular persons or fields;
but what a difference it would make
both to the work and to the development
of Christians at home if interest
in the cause and sympathy with
the affection for the workers were
maintained as real and vital as in
those earlier and simpler days! To
many of us missions and missionaries
are mainly a programme. The element
of personal relation is lacking.
