I Within the past ten years YOUR race has made greater strides ♦ toward literary achievement than in the CENTURIES that went before, f Become familiar with the work of RACE AUTHORS. The Bov You Love The he* you love In the training camp will make a better soldier and a better man if he knows the ringing lines of "Fifty Years" and the haunt ing pathos of "Black and Unknown Bards." You will find these In James Weldon Johnson's "Fifty Years and Other Poems," a book the critics of the world have called the greatest poetical achievement of the Colored Pace. Professor Brander Matthews of Columbia I'nlverslty has written a re markably fine introduction. From the Fields of Alabama A boy came fresh from the fields of Alabama to work his way through a • - ion of the sumer school at Har vard. A few roughly scrawled poems caught, the eye of his professor. The result was a book of these versos. To day the author Is In France, a cor poral in a Machine Hun Company. Meanwhile the great literary newspa pers of the east are saying that Wav erly Tjrner Carmichael gives promise of rivaling Dunbar. What do you know of this soldier author or bis book. "From the Heart of a Folk." In Spite of Bitter Handicaps In Louisville. Kentucky, a Colored man. an educator and a poet, rose to a position where the best men of the community were proud to call him their friend. Now his son, scarcely more than a boy. ove rcoming the bit ter handicap of falling health, lias published his first book, and again the < i It lea on the great metropolitan newspapers have neeL'iimed Joseph S. Cotter’s ‘‘Tin* Band of Gideon," not only a book worthy of the best lit erary traditions of the day hut also a further proof of the rapid literary progress of his race. You Have Seen With Your Own Eyes * You have seen with your own eyes the struggle of the Negro for Educa tion. You know tiie vital human side. That is why you will appreciate and want to read "Twenty-Five* ^ ears in th.- Black Belt." by William .1. Ed wards, the able founder and present head of Snow Mill Normal and In dustrial Institute. Professor Paul I Manus of Harvard I niversity has written tin* introduction. Tender Haunting Lyrics Isn't th* re some one you’d like td j send a book provided you could find just tlie right hook that would be a message as well as a book. Georgia Douglas Johnson lias written Just such a book of tender, haunting lyrics in "The* Ih-art of a Woman." Why not ma.ke at least one girl happy by send ing her a copy? Do You Love Trees? Do you love trees and the gioat out of doors? Maude Cune> flare, daugli ter of the late Norris Wright Cunev. lias collected the finest things written | or said about trees in a beautiful gift hook. William Stanley Hraithwaite has written the Introduction. Another Race Bard Many a serai* hook contains treas ured clippings of the poems of Charles Bertram Johnson as they occasionally appeared in the newspapers of the day. Now In "Songs of m* People,’ a new hook Just from the press, tic best of Mr. Johnson's pot-try is brought together in permanent form and will give pleasure to the hundreds of admirers of Ills work. I here are other books, of course, and good books. It is impossible to mention all, and these are representative of the best. They are beauti fully bound and are as far above the ordinary book in book mak ng as they are in literary value.

A BIT OF HOME WITHIN THE CAMP A long, low building of frame con struction, attractively plowed, with wide verandas and a homelike aspect. Outside are hanging the flags—the Stars and Stripes, which must soon be taken in us it Is nearly sunset, and another Hag bearing n little triangle of blue and the letters Y. \V. C. A. it Is a fall afternoon and tlie air is a hit sharp. Through tlie front windows of tlie house tlie woman approaching up tlie walk can see the cheerful glow of an open fireplace. There is tlie sound of a piano and some cue Is singing. The woman, wt»> is slight and young and tired-looking, puts her heavy suit case down on the walk and shifts the baity site is carrying to tlie other arm. She listens a minute, then picks up tlie luggage and walks bravely up to the front door. Some one lias heard her coming and is there to meet her. Some one always is in places like this. The door is thrown open and n kind wom an’s voice says; “Oh, do come in and rest. Let me take the baby.” The baby is passed over and tlie stranger, worn from a long Journey, tired and sad, is given the welcome which only the Y. W. C. A. hostesses know how to give. She explains that she has coine to see John before he leaves for the front. She has been saving her money for traveling expenses, and has come to surprise him. John has never seen tlie baby, and now maybe he never will, for she has discovered that John has just left on a two days’ furlough to surprise her. Before she could get a train hack to her home John’s fur lough will have expired and lie will be on ids way back to camp. The little mother does not know how to meet the situation and teurs of fatigue and dis appointment begin to flow. "Well, that’s too bad,” says the sym pathetic Y. W. C. A. worker. “But cheer up. You can Just stay here for a couple of days. We’ll send a wire to John at the first place his train stops and tell him to take the next train hack, lie cun enjoy Ills furlough here.” This is done and the little family lias a glorious day of it. The Young Women’s Christian asso ciation has established 02 hostess houses of tills character for American soldiers and sailors and their families. In tills brief bulletin of news lies one of the most potent factors in the win ning of this war. Our hoys are fight ing for their homes. The Y. W. C. A. witli Its hostess work in this country and in France Is helping to keep the Ideal of American home life con stantly before the men who are pro tecting it. These men had to go away from their individual homes, but there is a home which follows them-—a place where they can go when they are off duty and meet their families and rest. There is a room In every Y. W. C. A. hostess house with a real fireplace In It and a domestic hearth. There are chairs with cushions on them; the e-i-hinn Is not of the Iron-bound bucket variety necessary in camps; and best of all. the boys say, there are nice women to talk to. No boy in camp would hesitate to ask his mother or sister or the girl he thinks most of to meet him at a Y’. YV. C. A. house, for he knows that the women she will see there are of the right kind. The very fact that it Is known that there Is a real, homey place near eaeli camp au thorized by tlie war department and presided over by dignified and refined women, has served very largely to dis courage the other type of woman and keep her away from the men she for merly preyed upon. The Yr. W. C. A. houses are not es tablished with any view to marking class lines, however, although many ol the hostesses who assist led lives of greatest ease and luxury before the war. Democracy rules at the sign of Ihe little Blue Triangle. A story Is told of a great merchant’s wife whose individual fortune mounts to the million mark. Tills indy is a member of one of the Y. W. C. A. com mittees. and on one occasion she was helping 111 the cafeteria of a hostess house at the Great Lakes naval train ing station. A little shopgirl who had a “day off” from her work in tlie base ment of the great store owned by the YT. \V. <’. A. worker’s husband, and who had come to see her sailor brother, was in a State street hurry for service. She sharply ordered tin? merchant’s wife to “look alive with these forks, girlie.” The Indy addressed as “girlie” quit* humbly saw to it Unit the pile of forks was replenished. Then she went over and talked to the girl, helped her to locate her brother and sent her away happy. The shopgirl never knew thut she had been talking to her employer’s wife. There are two hostess houses at the Great Lakes station, and It Is a won derful sigiit to see the crowds of wom en relatives and friends of the sailors who throng to them on the Wednesday drill afternoons. From 1,000 to 3,000 persons a day are cared for in the enfeterias, and the nurseries are full of sailor babies, whose mothers can leave them there safely while they art on the grounds. In addition to tlie hostess lioust work In this country the Y. \V. C. A has established the famous Hotel Be trograd in Paris as a center for tran sient women war workers overseas Then* are also many foyers or recrea tion centers in France where girl mu iiitloas workers, signal corps girls and others are refreshed and brightened tty association with the play leaden of ihe Y'. W. C. A. who have intro duceil American gymnasium clasnet into French life. Events and Persons The eighth annual free Thanksgiv ing dinner for children will be given by the I. D.
