ODDFELLOWS HOLD IMPORTANT MEETING Legislative Body of Order Represent- , ating Membership of 400,00 Closes Deliberations After Successful Ses sions. UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSE HARDING AND COOLIDGE Ordinarily Non-Political the B. M. C. Deems It a Duty to Endorse Repub lican Party Because of its Pledge to Suppress Lynching and to Re move Other Evils. (By Associated Negro Press.) WILMINGTON. Del., Sept 23—The Twentieth B. M. C. known as the Bi ennial Movable Committee of the G. U. U. O. O. F. of America. The legis lative body of the order composing a membership of 400,000 Odd Fellows met here September 13th. The Convention of the Grand Unit ed Order of Odd Fellows is composed of delegates from Delaware, West Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, New York, New Jersey, Tennessee, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, Georgia— over 300 delegates being present fro: that state; Ohio. Arkansas and other states of the union. The mayor of the city of Wilming ton welcomed the delegates on be half of the state of Delaware. Dr. Cornwell Banton welcomed them on behalf of the citizens of Wilmington. Horonahle Henry Lincoln Johnson, Ex-Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia under President Taft responded on behalf of all the dele gates of the country. Resolutions were passed by the Convention of Odd Fellows unani mously, endorsing Harding and Cool idge. They said: “Since the protection of the life of the citizen is the first concern of every government and is the constitu-; tional guarantee of every American citizen and, Whereas, the unchecked aggression of mob violence disgraces democracy and mocks the constitu tion and that mandates over foreign countries we regard as subordinate to mandates over the violators of law in our country, and that the League of Nations as to how countries should vote is of secondary consideration in a republic where all of its citizens have not the right to vote; we were outraged by the nutrality of Belgium, but we regard the absolute subjuga tion of Haiti and the mockery made of the Haitian Republic of Santo Do mingo by the present admniisrtation as contrary' to the spirit of genuine democracy and fair play throughout the world. “Therefore, the B. M. C., while or dinarily non-political, endorses the Republican party because it de nounces the crime of mob violence and lynching the denial of citizens the right to vote, the discrimination of American citizens because of color in the exercise and privileges given to every other American citizen by the democratic party'. Therefore, it pledges its support to Senator Warren G. Harding, the nom inee for president and to Governor Coolidge for vice president, because they stand pledged by their past rec ords and their utterances since their nomination to the eradication of these evils in the government of this coun try'.” MUSIC AND MUSICIANS (By Clarence Deadlines.) • ' Concerning the Violin.. Fundamentals For Good Teaching. The teacher can only supply the pupil with the violinistic equipment, the pupil must use it. There is tone for instance. The teacher cannot make tone for the pupil, the teacher can only show him how tone can be made. Sometimes a purely physiological reason makes it almost impossible for the pupil to produce a good na tural tone. If the finger tips are not adequately equipped with "cush ions” and a pupil wishes to use the I Clarence Deadlines vibrato, there is nothing with which he can vibrate. There is a real mean ing, speaking of the violinist’s tone, in the first place he has it at his finger tips. Then there is the matter of slow practice, it rests with the pupil to carry out the teacher’s in structions in this respect. One reason for my success when I started to study with Miss Emily Cleve, I adopted this slogan, "I be lieve in Miss Cleve” and her teaching. I no longer thought of my past teach er’s instructions but followed the in structions of my new teacher. The average pupil practices too fast and is too eager to develop his art as a money maker. Many a gifted student takes up orchestra playing but he can not do this continuously and ever hope to be a solo artist. Four hours of study work may be nullified by a single hour of orchestra playing. Mu sically it is broadening of course but I am speaking from the standpoint of the student who hopes to become a solo artist. An opera orchestra is es pecially bad in this way, in the sym phonic ensemble more care is used but in the opera archestra they em ploy the right arm tremolo and there is a great deal of camouflage re garding string playing in an opera orchestra. Lessons are often made all too short; a teacher cannot give a pupil much in half an hour, it is not a real lesson and a pupil does not derive much benefit in this way. The serious student should practice not less than four hours a day pre ferably in twenty minute intervals a practicing too long at one time is apt to tire the brain. And since the fingers are controlled by the brain it is best to relax for a short period be fore going on. Mental and physical control must always go hand in hand. However, through experience I find that four hours of intelligent, con sistent practice work are far better than eight or ten hours of fatigued effort. Fundamental teaching, with the power of the teacher to bring out the latent talents of the pupil, combined with the good hard study and prac tice on the part of the student, has j helped to bring many a promising, young artist to the front. Next Week: “The Singing ‘Tone and i the Vibrato." HELPS FOR THE HOUSEWIFE Contributed by Fred D. Gamble, Chef ; de Cuisine. Chicago, 111. (The Monitor announces with plea sure the addition of another depart ment to our publication which we feel sure will be welcomed by our readers. “Helps for the Housewife” will be edited by Fred D. Gamble of Chicago, a chef of experience, who will furnish practical suggestions and recipies which housewives will find valuable. His column begins with this issue. Introduction. My object in contributing this col umn is to give little helps and sug gestions and a variety of dishes for i the housewife who would be econom ical and efficient and save herself many steps in the kitchen. The proper preparation and gar nishing of the many dishes is the foundation of success in this work. Care in the preparation and clean liness in the work go hand in hand, so I will give some suggestions for the kitchen and home as I go along. Utensils Needed. To begin with let us sum up the things we need for our work in the i kitchen. The number of the articles here named will of course depend upon the needs of the housewife un less otherwise noted. * Here is the list, a clock, one wooden spoon for cake making, one set of tin measures, a meat board, a large kitchen fork, i chopping knife, a colander, one each coarse and fine gravy strainer, (these can be used for sauces and soups; a wooden chopping bowl, a meat cleav er. a mixing bowl, one each large and mall graters, one pair of scales, a waffle iron, a cake turner, two large spoons, a flour sifter, a can opener, a cork screw, a chopping knife, a lem on squeezer, a dredging box, an apple corer and pineapple knife, (combina tion), and a paring knife. There are many other articles and utensils which I suppose the house wife will have on hand. Next week the subject will be, “How to Choose Beef.” FAVORITE SOUTHERN SPORT CONTINUES Prisoner Weakly Surrendered to Mob Which Murders Him by Shooting. Had Been Sentenced To Itc Hung.
