It is prepost cror.3 that any
human be.ngu, o»esiu« • of actual
barbarism, should gwv up unable
to read.
But teaching them to road and
write is only the first step. The
next is teaching human beings TO
THINK, which if? considerably
more difficult and important.
It isn’t what you READ that
counts. It’s whai you THINK
IAFTER YOU READ that improves
government and civilization.
It takes a Frenchman, and an
old one, Cami *e Flammarion, to
say that the people on Mars are
much more JOYFUL than we are.
The Martian year is twice as
long as ours. A man there fifty
years old has lived 100 years,
nearly. The climate is better and
the planet being smaller, every
thing is lighter. An ordinary Mar
tian could easily carry his mother
in-law upstairs in his arms, even
if she weighed 400 pounds. Mil
lions of years older m their civiliza
tion than earth men, the Martians
are far ahead of us in knowledge, j
and that means happiness. In fact
it’s the only solid happiness.
, John A. Stewart, called “Grand
Old Man of Wall Street,” who
knew Abraham Lincoln, and is
now head of an important bank,
celebrated his 102nd birthday last
week. To us, that seems old. A
thousand years hence, 126 will
seem young as sixty is now. Men i
will die out gently like fading twi- |

pared Moses’ forty-year trip across
the desert with the four-hour t rip
of a small American autowobdoj
and the one and one-half-hour trip
of a flying machine, across the
same desert.
Many writers send learned com
ment.
Hyttlan Bodner, of Passaic, - ew
Jersey, says, “You needn’t wr.;t
to get information from Moses in
heaven. H* kept the children of
Israel in the desert for forty years
because they were not qualified
to conquer the Promised Land.
They practically all died. The nev*
ffeneration, educated and drilled,
ed by Huslma, won their Prom
ised Land by fighting.”
Max Himoff, of Long Island
City, writer, said that Moses had
to let his old followers die off while
he raised a new generation “who
knew nothing about Egypt and
prepared them for their task.”
Can anybody give more exact
information about the fighting
leader, Huslma?

I. J. K. AT THE NEGRO BUSINESS
LEAGUE IN CHICAGO.
(By I. J. K. Welfls, President Amer
ican Federation of Negro Students,
the movement raising $150,000 for
business training.)
(Preston News Service.)
It seems never my privilege to
remain in (Pittsburgh when some
thing 'big is going on. The Shriners
were decorating and thousands of the
high Masons were pouring into the
Smoky City as I left for the Windy
one. -
At Chicago I think I was compen
sated fully for what I missed of the
Shriners, Knight Templar and Elks.
There were a galaxy of big person
alises, and I saw quite) everything
from ‘jRunnin Wild’ to Caine’s ‘Gold
en 'GHow,’ the very newest and best
kind of mayonaise. Caine is a Negro
and hails from Evanston while ev
eryhody is familiar with Mi ller‘and
Lyle’s grand show playing to packed
houses :n the middle west.
Beware in dealing with personal
ities for then you ciash with the
vanities of men. Thus counseled the
wifdder of the lash of the Chicago
Whip. Good advice. Stttl) ..there
were at the Silver Jubilee of the
National Ncjgr0 Business League such
a host of stars and satellites that I
have wondered if it were profitable
to write on fifty Instead of “How
Twanty Prominent Personalities Im
pressed Me.”
Indeed there were so many high
powered dignitaries of every profess
ion present' at the TwemtWlfth An
niversary of the founding .of the
Lecguo that I mused, this is the1
Sai hedrin.
I shou ld like to name the bishoDS,
but there were a gang of them. The
siroe may be said of the business
men. They were there from the
good natured G.t!)’*pie of Chicago to
the quiet Spaulding from the Old
North State t The latter was so
unassuming that he was better rec
ognized by his striking head of beau
tiful gray hair, than from the great
noise ho made. There was Harry
Pac^ from New York City; arid the/
astute banker, E. C Brown of Phil
UCPipil.’H. .
Were there any pdliticians? Truly,
such a solid group graced the Stage
that if one were lot informed he
might gssume that he were attending
the littl^jU. S. Senate. Perry How
ard, National Committeeman from
Mississippi, with hat and cane al
ways managed to be either present
at each session or to tip across the
stage while the league was in full
hiast, a conspicuous attempt to
avoid notoriety—evidently a deep
stroke of politics. Mrs. Mary Booze
National Committeewoman from the
same state; and Miss Hallie Quinn
Brown. of Wilberforce, 0.|, National
Organizer, were there.
It would be unfair, in fact unjust
not to mention the most oontroversed
appointee of the late President Hard
ing. Hon. Walter L. Cohen, seeming
ly a very personable man, now Comp
troller of the Port of NoW Orleans.
Who wa$ that who did not see Roscpe
Uonkjlin Simmons, G. O. P. Publicity
Director? Col. Henry Lincoln John
son was aiso in the saddle. He did
lots of riding, but said little. And
up until Friday morning, so far as
the masses at tbf league were con
ce.rn.ed. one would not hove known
that the well-Uke^d “Bobbie^’ vann.
who almost simultaneously”has be
come a National Advisor to the man
o-gement of the Campaign of the Re
nublican Party and of ihe Negrc
Youth Movement, was there.
There was one elegant maneuvei
of politic* executeel at the League
! meeting which wt l be related in £
later installment.
MY PURPOSE AT THE LEAGUE.
But what was I doing |t the Si!
ver Jubilee ? Was it simply to meel
these big guns? To see that smoke
or hear that thunder roll? It was
not. I went there in the interesi
of the Negro Youth Movement, Ii
was my purpose, and it is yet oui
purpose to get our business men tt
place the nest egg into the one hui
dred and fifty thousand dollar sum
the Negro Youth Movement is raJslnj
for the definite purpose of aiding anc
stimulating business training for th'
youth of the race. It was a real Jol
camping upon the paths of some o:
our business men, while a few o
them have furnished me with critica
material to write upon for a goo(
long time. I have every reason t<
imagine that the writer was not th<
only creature seeking the Influence
.and the friendship of his fellows.

Beautiful Girl
Reveals Secret
Once my hair was anything but
long and silky soft as it is now,
ana my complexion was sallow,
and there were often unsightly
pimples on my face.
One day I heard of Exelento

purchased a jar. Almost imme
diately it stopped all dandruff,
made my hair grow long, soft and
fine, and gave it a delightful

Because of the perfectly won
