One burning question insists in b' lng answered and answered correct ly and wisely, does it p.y to train the youth of the land along indus trial lines? The next question that must be answered and answered without prejudice and unbiased, was the sage of Tuskepee correct in his views when he advocated industrial training for the masses of his people, and if so why, and not why not? Only yesterday a white firm wanted a skilled workman, this firm did not asK ror a wnue man nor a black man, but wanted a man, the man who could, do the work, the man who had Been trained both in the school of skilled workmen, and wiu had been further trained In the school of actual experience, in actual contact with the requirements In the handicrafts, in the skillful use and the manipulation of the various tools and their application in dexter ity or manual appliance. The various applicants were called in one at a time and closely interogated by a specialist in the work which was re quired to be done, the long line of nppllcant was cut down to one man, after the several applicants for the position had been subjected to the to the scrutlble and searching and exact text in the required mechan ism and the Intricate affairs Incidence to such work, one man and only one, was required to remain, the others being dismissed as soon as they fail ed in this severe text.

There is some more room at the top and another of our Dallas young men of honest toll and sober habits and sterling in dustry has found plenty of room at the top and says by bis actions that the room for improvement Is the big gest room in all the world. We shall speak of this worthy young man in the next paragraph and portray some of his manly qualities. Read for yourself. Mr. S. W. Coleman, 2809 Cochran street, this city, is a high class church layman of the Macedonia Bap tist, and vice president of the Lay man's Association and also assistant Superintendent of the Sunday school of that church, is a skilled workman who also took the time to prepare himself along mechanical lines in hand dexterity in which brains are required with a fair knowledge of physcsi, algebra and geometry. Our worthy subject, Mr. Coleman enters Carlisle University where he spends four years studying in the use of electrical experience as a skilled craftman and after the ex piration of the four years of asld- ous and arduous application, he is awarded a diploma of efficiency in his chosen profession. We all can j readily see that it is the highest of( wisnom 10 prepare 10 nave irmiieu hands to go along with a skilled mind. Mr. Coleman has traveled exten sive throughout the entire continent of South American as well as all parts of Canada. Is not some way In which we as Colored people may nnt heenme nrnunlnted with each other along the line of proficiency and J culture? Carlisle University is a govern ment school of high grade and as such, a student was required to be very proficient along all lines in con nection with this school, not only in the trade that was being studied but also along literary lines. For this purpose each student was subjected to periodical examinations in the lit erary as well as the handicrafts. In other words he must not be a misfit, but and adept and an all round sub ject Mr. Coleman enjoys the dis tinction of following his avocation in this city his home town. A polish shaft will be placed in that part of the building that is to be adorn, the front of the building when the eyes and the good taste are to be appre ciated. It must be a pleasure to have such a young man connected with the work of the church and Sunday school who thinks of God first and his fellows at the same time to work and pray the struggle never give o'er. All honor to these two men, let others go and do likewise. PARSOX CAMPBELL CALLED TO TASK. Dear Editor Please allow me enough space in your valuable paper to reply to an article that appeared in the San An tonio Express by one of our most popular and worthy devines in the person of Dr. L. L. Campbell, Austin, Texas. I was almost knocked off my feet when I read his article relative to the Negroes in the South. First, he said that the Negro man and the white man were getting along smoother down here; well, if that be true Mr. Campbell must have been speaking of himself as a whole. Of course, I judge from the radical stand he has taken concerning the Negro in the south, he must' be well lubricated with the oil of luxury. I am unable to see right here just font what point of view Mr. Campbell can frankly say that the Negroes in the south are getting along smoothly with thur white neighbor, when they are being lynched almost daily and deprived of every privilege that is lie a reminder to him in ye;:r3 to come enjoyed or given any other race. that, although young, hf helped fi They say it Is some times best to . nance the Government when it was in stoop to conquer, but I would have J need of help.

Mr. Campbell, you say that we should stay in our places, will you please be kind enough, since you are a big Negro leader, to tell us where our places are? According to the 14th and 15th Amendment, any space that Is large enough to hold a nat uralized citizen of the United States is considered his place. Your son and other good citizens' sons have fought to maintain the places here in this country and since the victory has been won and the smoke has about cleared away.

Shortly after Emil wa3 born, $1,000 worth sf 1918 War Savings Stamps were bought for him and his parents and grandmother have now added $1,000 worth of the 1919 issue of War Savings Stamps to them, so the bell ringing baby belongs to the Treasury Department's W.

War Savings Stamps and the new $100 and $1,000 Registered Treasury Savings Certificates are ideal gifts for every one and especially for children of tender years.

For a time, grenados were made out of heavy paper, then out of Etas and then out of metal. With the close of the eighteenth century, the prenade began to be discarded Land little use had been made of it un til the Russo-Japanese war in 1904. It remained for the Great World War to see the grenade developed into its pr.-a-snt efficiency. The grenades used by the American doughboys were as carefully manufactured as thpir rifleSi But the ead of hostilities found a limited supply on hand and these were turned over to the Sav ings Division of the Treasury Depart ment, the explosives extracted and they have been made over into savings banks. Thus a weapon of war has been transformed into a "weapon of peace."

Any boy or girl can secure a grenade by purchasing a $5 War Savings Stamp; any adult by investing in three or more War Savings Stamps, but lbc.;e must have been bought 'after July 15, 1919. These hand grenades will be distributed through local banks and by a few merchants. If you want a grenade, get, busy. Make arrangements with your banker immediately. Only a limited number of these rare and unique souvenirs of the World War could be Becured and when they are gone there will be no chance of obtaining one. You don't have to wait until the grenade is re ceived to begin saving. Do that now. Then when the grenade arrives you will have that much of fa start to ward owning it..

Bankers ara practically unanimous in declaring these new $100 and $1,000 Registered Treasury Savings Certificates the best securities the Government has ver offered. Individuals, corporations, cities, counties and school districts are also buying these Registered Certificates in large numbers. The State of Texas was one of the first purchasers, State Treasurer John W. Baker getting $500 worth for each of two State funds. The law does not permit more than $1,000 (worth, maturity value), to be held in any one name, but each mem ber of a family or firm, each director in a bank or corporation may hold that amount.
