Dallas Texaa July 3 1919.
Hon. Mayor Commissioners and Mem-
bers of Health Board of Dallas.
Sirs:
The Negro Medical Dental and
Pharmaceutical Society of Dallas in
regular meeting discussed certain
health measures pertaining to the in-
digent poor of the city of their race
also ways and means of serving the
city In assisting in this capacity and
recommending that they offer- their
services to the Health Board for its
disposition In any capacity i which
might relieve their indigent sick.
They request that you conniiA r the
following measures:
1. The placing of Negro nurses
in the Negro wards of the City Hos-
pital; a trained nurse and under-
graduates the number to be deter-
mined by the need all of whom are
to be under the supervision of your
present head nurse.
We feel that it is very embarras-
lng to the white nurses to care for
certain Negro cases and that Ne-
gro nurses would be anxious and
willing at all times to serve the
city in this capacity. We therefore
believe it would be an asset to the'
city. We also ask your consideration
of a Negro Interne to serve with the
nurses for obvious reasons.
2. That Negro physicians be as-
sistants to the white staff in the
Negro wards of the city hospital
each service having at its disposal
one or more members.
3. That the city employ a Negro
visiting physician to care for the
indigent sink Negroes of the city
the office to' be under the supervis-
ion of the body governing such.
Feeling too that it would be an
asset to the city and Health Depart-
ment they also endorse the idea of
a Negro visiting nurse.
To all of the foregoing measures
we have given consideration investi-
gation and much study and if neces-
sary members of the Dallas Negro
Medical Dental and Pharmaceutical
Society stand ready to confer with
you at any time believing that these
measures can be amicably adjusted
to the mutual satisfaction of all con-
cerned. Signed:
J. H. DODD M. D. Pres.

AlWAtS A PLEASANT FRIEND
It Is True of Course That "Money
Is Not Everything" But See What
It Will Do.
"Money Isn't everything." says the
spendthrift ns he scatters his wages
to the four winds.
Then he reaches middle life with
old age In the foreground' vainly wish-
ing fur the return of the misspent
coin.
It may be true that mouey Isn't
everything hut one thing Is absolute-
ly certain. Old Man Money if he Is
cultivated through life will not de-
sert the friend who has cultivated
him. When every human friend has
lied Old Man Money sticks. You can
start hi in off with five or tea cents a
day In early life and keep feeding
him that amount nil through life and
In old age you will have on your
hands a financial Frankenstein albeit
a -pleasant and highly agreeable one.
If you find the rigors of the north-
erir winter too severe you simply tap
Old Man Money on the shoulder and
he hies you to Palm Beach ; If you are
sick another tap on the shoulder
brings yo'.i the best nurses and special-
ists the orld affords. He's an Bfee-
oble old man never disputes orders
and Is Always ready for duty. He
makes the proverbial busy bee and
the equally Industrious ant look like
pikers for he never rests. He's one
size when you go to sleep nnd larger
when you wake up The o'der he
gets the stronger he becomes. If you
are a stranger In a large city. Old
Man Money opens the doors of the
best hotels and stakes you to the best
the town affords.
But money Isn't everything at that.

' A Mountain Camp.
I have spent one perfect night on a
mountainside. Othhrs were lovely
enough' but this one was ' the pure
idyllic moonshine the dream come
true. We made a good stiff run
through the day. Late in the after-
noon we left Santo Fe to cllmh the
Glorleta pass through a country of
rolling red hills thick with cedar
broken by cliffs and mesas and cut
by the deep gorge of a little stream.
We scanned the clearings with an
eager eye. At last we found the thing
we sought.

built on American soil by the Spanish
fathers. Away back In 14H0 Coronado

had a real problem to solve. Finally

RESPECTED HOME OF MORGAN
Federals and Confederates Both Re-
frained From Damaging .House
' of Revolutionary Soldier.
A subscriber who was Interested in
the Companion's account of the re-
spect shown to Mount Vernon during
the Civil war hns culled to our atten-
tion to another historic place that re-'
celved similar respect and protection
the home of Gen. Daniel Morgan of
Revolutionary fame. i - -
During the summer ef 1012 says
our friend. I was visiting in the Shen-
andoah valley and in going from
Shepherdstown to Harper's Ferry
passed a little vlllsge called Morgan'?
Grove. My attention was attracted to
large two-stery stone houwe which
I discovered . to be the old hpme of
Gen. Daniel Morgan the commander
of the famous "Morgan Rifle Corps."
At that house Col. Morgan organized
bis famous regiment of riflemen and
marched to Boston a distance of six
hundred miles to Join Washington's
army. The men were dressed In deer-
skin coats and coons-kin caps and were
armed with those long-barreled rifles
that they used with such telling effect
in the battles of the Revolution. At
the battle of Saratoga when Burgoyne
asked why the olllcers of his army
who were kllh-d had been shot In the
head he was Informed that it was the
Morgan riflemen who were responsi-
ble. He remarked that It was of no
use to fight with such an army and
that he might as well surrender.
The old stone house at Morgans
Grove stood unmolested during the
Civil war. Both Confederate and Fed-
eral soldiers held it in almost sacred
reverence. Early's men and Sheri-
dan's swept past it on their raids in
the valley yet the home of the Mor-
gans continued to stand as a noble
monument to the memory of the great
general who helped to gain our Inde-
pendence. Youth's Companion.

If the beard has any standing In the

Chinese Make Them in Many Attrac-
tive Forms and Pay Big Price
for Them.
The shops of the lantern venders lo
the Chinese cities are usually very
gay and attractive. All varieties of
lanterns are to be seen the large
silken ones 3 and 4 feet high gor-
geously painted with variegated colors
embroidered In gold and silver or dec-
orated with deep fringe of the same
material and common small horn and
paper lanterns used by the coolies ac-
cording to the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The mode of making horn lanterns Is
very ingenious; the horns are cut In-
to remarkably thin slices which by
means of heat and pressure are
joined together and formed into vari-
ous shapes round square hexagon
octagon nnd some shaped to resemble
an hour glass.
It Is usual for servants after sun-
set to carry before their masters large
lanterns made either of horn or high-
ly varnished paper with the name
title and dignities painted In large let-
ters thereon.

Via Iceland.
The desire that centuries ago made
men look to the North for closer con-
nection between the eastern and west-
ern hemispheres may soon be realised
by the shipment of Canadian grain
from Port Nelson in Hudson bay te

In warehouses for trans-shipment to
Europe. The ancient Icelandic capi-
tal dating back to the coming of the
Northmen in the ninth century will

way hauj of grain moving from the
new to the old world by about a thou-
sand miles; and the grnln ships cross-
ing the bay will travel a twentieth
century version of the new route for
commerce which the old navigator
Henry Hudson was seeking In- the

8uctlon Plates on Bat.
Certain bats appear to have found
their hooklike thumbs and hind feet
insufficient for suspension and have
made use of the suction principle for
this pn. pose. This mode of suspen-
sion has been developed Independently
in tw distinct bats ne a native of
Brazil snd the other of Mcdi gascar.
In the Brazilian species the ruckers
take the form of s'alki d discs attach-
ed to the palms of the thumbs and the
soles of the feet. The suckers Jof the
Malagasy species are horseshoe like.
By means of the suckers these bats
are able to ascend vertical surfaces.
veiy curious it is to note tne similar-
ity between the suckers of these bats
and those oa the arms of the cuttle-
fishes. First Fake Beard.
The Jews were responsible for the
first false beards that were ever worn
so far as known. They did not wear
them themselves but they caused the
Egyptians to do so. The Egyptians

when the Jews cuine over to stay with
them the people of the Nile quickly
absorbed the idea that a bearded man
was associated with strength nobility
of character and perhaps prowess. So
it Quickly came about that whenever
the Egyptians wanted to hold a cele-
bration In which certain persons were
to be exalted the objects of popular
acclaim wore false beards.
