Mr. Herrick is a contribut ing editor of The Nation and author of various novels, of which the latest, called “Waste”, has Just appeared. He found himself not long ago on the British island of Careacou In the Caribbean—an Island whose popula tion of about 2,000 consists of colored people and a mere handful of white officials. “I had no preconceived formulas about the race question,” he writes, “and so 1 give what 1 saw and felt for what it may be worth.” “I had two stock questions that I put to the white officials: ‘How many crimes of violence have occured in your jurisdiction In the last two years?’ Sometimes they had to go back four and five years to find a case of first class assault or murder. Compare that with any rural district of a similar density of population, either North or South, in the United States!-My other question was: ‘Can a white woman of the upper class go safely anywhere at any time of day or night in your island un escorted? ’ The answer to this was a stare of surprise. ‘Of course! Why not?’ ” The English government, according to Mr. Herrick, wants the Negroes who live In places like Careacou, un der British rule, to govern themselves loyally. His account of hig visit Is sufficient testimony to the success of the plan. He will take up French colonies in an article about the is land of Martinique, to appear In The Nation next week. A CORRECTION In the report of the operetta, “A Nautical Knot”, published In last week’s issue, the name of Miss L.ucy Mae Allen, who took the character of "Nance” was omitted. The sentence should have read: “Miss I.uoty Mae Allen as ‘Nance’ . . . Interpreted her part with feeling and intelligence.” Quaker Maid Married in Ancient Manner New York.—A Quaker maiden and a Quaker youth gave their marriage vows, one to the other, In the modest Friends' meeting house near Graraercy park, In East Twentieth' street. It was the same simple ceremony, used en tirely without the services of a min ister, which William Penn and his faithful followers Introduced Into America 242 years ago. It remains the simplest and briefest nuptial1 pledge used In this country today. Standing face to face in the little, unadorned meeting room, Henry Eck royd Kirk, Jr., of Eaglesmere, Pa., and Enid Mary Hlchardson of Passaic, N. J„ repeated to each other the 33 words which constitute the marriage vow according to the tenets of the Friends’ religion. There was no min ister to read the pledges—no minis terial pronouncement of man and wife. Only the placing of one hand within the other and a pledge spoken In the sight of God and man. $10 a Ton for Old Warship* London.—Since the armistice, obso lete warships of approximately 2,250, 000 tons have been sold. They realized between $20,000,000 and $22,500,000. Greece Offer* to Lend U. S. Statue of Herme* Geneva.—As a mark of esteem for American democracy, Greece, the youngest republic In the world, has ofTered to lend the American people one of the most beautiful of statues, bequeathed to her by antiquity "Hermes Carrying the Infant Diony sus," the masterpiece of Praxiteles, the famous Qreek sculptor of the Fifth century. Can’t Lose Pigeon* Kansas City, Kan.—Two pigeons which he had boarded for about a year were no longer desired by Frank Pe terson, so he motored them five miles Into the country and turned them loose. When Peterson arrived home the pigeons were there clamoring for food. a » $ 1 1 $ * I I » a » I ■ : i ■ , j: : i : : $ ■ Tapestries Bring High Price* London.—High prices were paid by French and English collectors for tapestries, when the late duke of Brunswlck-Luneburg’s collection came up for auction. One English Eight eenth century panel brought $15,000 and three Flemish panels $17,000. The duke's five lots realized $08,000. Five Gobelin tapestries from another collec tion brought $19,500. TO SEEK DATA INHB NORTH Captain Bartlett Sails for Arctic on the Bear. Washington.—Capt. Robert A. Rart lett. famous Arctic explorer and com panion of Peary on his successful polar trip, has been commissioned by the National Geographic society to gather data in the Far North In prep aration for future aerial explorations of the Arctic regions. Captain Bartlett Is aboard the United States coast guard ship, the Bear, America'* most famous “ship of peace,” from which he will make his observations during the Bear’s an nual cruise in Alaskan and Siberian waters. A romantic feature of the voyage is the fact that the ship which went to rescue Greely, now, in making what may he her last trip, helps pave the way for future air exploration of the Arctic. Will Study Aircraft Base*. Captain Bartlett will study especial ly the locations available In Alaska for bases of operation for aircraft which would fly a zigzag course over the million square mile area between Point Barrow and the North pole— which area Is wholly unexplored. He will report upon harbor facilities for supply ships, possible landing places for various types of cruft between Nome and Point Barrow, the terrain across country and along the coast between those points, and upon air and water temperature, wind and sea surface conditions. The Navy department has extended Captain Bartlett every co-operation In hti work, which will be of great value aa a basis of explorations such as those proposed when the Shenan doah's North pole trip was planned. As the foremost living authority on practical navigation of Arctic waters Captain Bartlett was named a mem ber of the polar expedition board, and during the consideration of the Shen andoah’s flight he furnished much valuable data. An air exploration of the unknown million square miles between Point Barrow and the pole probably would bs made in summer months, a time of year when no explorer ever went there, because the unbroken Ice of winter Is essential for surface travel. Ice floes and open water are aids to air operations In the North, while the summer months promise comfort able flying temperatures and 24 hours of daylight. “The lure of a million square miles ®f unknown area, which may reveal land bodies that will be of use when commercial air routes are established across the pole remains a challenge to America,” said Captain Bartlett, before he departed. “Our flag flies at the pole and at Point Barrow—It Is up to Americana to And and claim what lies between." On Golden Anniversary Trip. The historic vessel, on her golden asnlversary trip will sail out of Seat tle, going north to Unalaska, the Pribllof islands, to St. Lawrence and St. Michael Islands, to Nome, and thence to ports of call where mission stations and Eskimo schools are visited. She will touch Point Barrow and cruise hack to Bering strait, prob ably going along the Siberian coast on both sides of the strait. The Bear was launched 50 years ago this spring from the way* at Orennock. Scotland, and was a Dun dee sealer before the United States government bought her. Every year since 1fiR! she has made the lonesome cruise far beyond the white men’s frontiers to administer law among Uncle Sam’s Eskimo wards and pro tect his remote property on seal Is lands. While the Bear Is In Arctic re gions she Is Ridge, Jury and clergy man. An Incident of a recent voyage was the return of an Eskimo maiden to Nome as a witness against a young Eskimo who, having murdered a fel low Eskimo and a missionary, fared forth to set up “the Empire of the Eskimos.” The commander holds court, marries, and conducts funeral services, and the crew aid the schools, attend the sick, and perform numer ous errands of mercy. Hunter Kills Cougar With Rabbit Shooter Portland, Ore.—Edgar E. Watklna, government hunter of Grant county, killed one cougar with an automatic .22-callber pistol and wounded an other. Watkins was out hunting rabblta to use as coyoke trup bait when he came face to face with two cougara. He was about thirty feet from them when they came In Might. Watklna had carried a rifle many a day expecting to meet a cougar. I5ut in the history of the biological survey hunters In Oregon, dating back a decade, none had ever killed a cougar In the east ern part of the state. So Watkins didn't have his rifle. Lila automatic pistol was his only weapon. Knowing full well that a .22-callber bullet la not expected to make a showing against a big cat, and realizing that the animals If wounded might turn on him, Watkins neverthe less opened fire. Fortunately for him neither at tempted to attack him. Instead they tried to flee As the smaller one, a yearling, turned, Watkins dropped him. At the older beast, apparently the mother, Watklna sent four shots which, blood •tains In the snow told, took effect. BOOK CHAT By Mary White Ovington Chairman of the Board of Directors of the National Association for the Ad vancement of Colored People. “From ‘Superman’ to Man.” By J. A. Roberts. Published by The Lenox Publishing Cobpany, 2372 7th Avenue, New York City. Price $1.50. Postage 10c. Anyone who wants to be provided with an enormous stock of informa tion confuting the doctrine of white racial superiority should own this book. It depicts a Negro porter of un failing humor and courtesy debating the race question with a rabid South ern senator. Of course, the author makes the Negro convert his antag onist. Whether he would have done this in real life in very doubtful but he would certainly have silenced him. For the Southerner speaks as most of us would speak on any question that we might chance to debate on a train, from personal observation and from causual reading; whereas, the Negro speaks from a life-long study of his subject. Moreover he has traveled much and can cite instances of cus toms among people from Missouri to Madagascar. He meets his antagon ist fairly and at every point of the bout worsts him. The Southerner goes to be furious, sure that he will never argue with the “Nigger” again, and yet impelled to take up the battle on the morrow. His conversion at the end, his offering the porter a better job, is a bit of unfortunate sentimen talism. It makes the story unreal, whereas it might have ended on a clever note. After the Negro has got ten the better of the senator on every point; on salvery, which he shows was common among white as well as black; on sexual passion, he scores very well there; on intermarriage, his facts regarding intermarriage, he takes the city of Chicago as an exam ple, are illuminating; after his thrusts have again and again struck home, the senator asks: "What would you offer as a solution of the problem 7” To which the porter replies, "A sense of humor.” “Name something easier,” wisely says the white man. It is this sly sense of humor, which makes the book something more than the platitudinous recital of race equal ity that is often dished up to us. The porter is poking fun at his antag onist a great deal of the time. He is amused at him. He knows just how to knock thd props from under his opponent’s arguments and then en joys with the unmost politeness the j Southerner’s discomforture. The first ■ night the senator roars, the second ! night he fumes, the last night he asks [ his questions almost with an air of 1 humility. ■ It would be wonderful if such a de- 1 bate as this happened in real life. There is no reason that it shouldn’t— , except for the porter. He is too he- ‘ roic to be anywhere but in fiction. • Such self-control would be worthy of ! the Spingam Medal. But many might J try to approach him. And they could • nowhere go for better ammunition <i with which to do this than to the \ pages of “From ‘Superman’ to Man.” ‘ _ ' Hi A. P.
