Carter, the “rapid firing second waiter,” came with the time cards, and a few small packages in hand. And among the few well chosen words he said: “It is our patriotic duty to bid adieu to two of our fellow wait ers who have been called to the col ors, Mr. Wm. Agan of Little Rock, Ark., and Mr. Wm. Shelley of Aus tin, Tex., who are to report at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, la., the 16th inst, and he then presented them each with a wrist watch and trench mirror as a small token of respect from the con servative manager, Mr. F.

Waiker of Indianap olis and New York City gave an il lustrated lecture in St. John’s A. M. E. church Monday night for the bene fit of the Frederick Douglass Memo rial fund. Preceding the showing of the pictures this successful woman gave an admirable patriotic address in which she urged the audience to do their full duty, pointing out, as every thoughtful speaker does, the ad van tages that must come to us through the triumph of democracy. She said she rejoiced in the spirit of self-re liant manhood which must come to our youth from every section of the land because of their military discip line and training. She emphasized the fact that in helping make the world safe for democracy we are helping to make America safe for black men as well as white men. She pleaded for support of racial enterprises and the encouragement of all who are striving to achieve in any laudable line. Passing to her main lecture pic tures were thrown upon the screen showing the buildings in which she began her hair preparations which have brought to her a large fortnue, her subsequent purchases of houses for rental purposes to Colored people, her New York beauty parlors and finally her palatial residence, Villa Lewaro at Irvington on the Hudson, designed and built by a Colored archi tect. Mrs. Joe Brown of Des Moines,.who had arranged for the lecture, pre sided, and at the close urged the women to actively support the work of the Red Cross. A large audience was present and was amply repaid for its attendance.
