Many were added, and the spiritual side was higl throughout. Money taken in $224.12, Last Sunday, the church opened a subscription list, with a view of rais ing money to be applied on its new edifice and had pledges to the amount of $1,335.

WARMLY WELCOMED AT M ON ROE Monitor Representative Has Exciting Experience in Leaving Shreveport, La.—Overtakes Train ir Automo bile—Met by Policeman Who Shows Him Appreciated Considerateness and Kindness. Left Shreveport in a hurry scurry manner. Missed the train at the de pot, but through the kindess of my friend, Dr. Kane, and his efficiency as a chauffeur, flashed in his speedy automobile down through the railroad yards to where the T. & P. crosses the V. S. & P., causing the later train to halt long enough at this point for me to scramble aboard (some excit ing chase, eh), but it was a fitting starter for the second act of this tableau that was to be staged in the safest spot in Monroe, La. I arrived there in the midst of a drenching rain and thunderstorm, and alighting from the train was accosted by a big police man, who said that I Could find all of the Negroes down the track, point ing at the same time in the direction in which he wished tne to go, but when I informed him that I “eouid , not see his point," there was a reg ular Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde in his attitude, and he grasped me firmly, | yet gently by the arm and assisted me by the arm to the Majestic drug store, where I was warmly welcomed by Drs. Hudson and McClanahan, to whom, of course, I had to introduce myself, having no former acquaint ance. The officer standing by hear- i ing my name and the mentioning of ! my business, stepped forward and said you and your paper both are wel- | come in Monroe. “We need men like you and papers j like the one you represent, so call and see the mayor and the editor of the daily and they will indorse what I have said.” Two days in Monroe was sufficient to demonstrate to me that it had changed its code and attitude towards our people to a great extent. The representative men of our race were being invited to confer with the heads of the city, and invited to suggest the best measures to be inaugurated to bring about a better understanding between the races. Tuesday night I boarded the north bound Iron Mountain for Pine Bluff, Ark. They call this the Iron Moun tain railroad, but I would call it the “cinder path," for about 5 o’clock in the morning when I arrived at my destination the floor of the coach was an inch deep in cinders. Pine Bluffs was gay with bunting decorations, flags and filled with vis itors for the state grand lodge of the K. of P.’s was in session here. I mingled with the delegates each day at their sessions, which was held in the large auditorium of the Colored school, Grand Chancellor Avant of Helena, Ark., presiding. 1 met many acquaintances and admirers of The Monitor, as well as a few personal friends among them was Richard B. Harrison, the Shakespearean reader, residing at this point, being the finan cial secretary of the Haygood Indus trial school. The session adjourned Saturday afternoon, and found me again on the “cinder path” bound for Little Rock. Ark., and Camp Pike, Ark. Correspondingly yours, FRED C. WILLIAMS. ATCHISON, K AS.

Spalding rock quarry by the su preme court. This quarry is one of the largest in the state, but has had many financial reverses under the supervision of one of the leading white men of the city. Mr. Kerford’s success in this line of work was in strumental in securing him this ap pointment. We wish him success. South Side Notes! ---j Mr. and Mrs. E.

LONDON IS STIRRED BY FUEL SAVING New Gas and Electricity Rela tions Fall Heavily on Householders. The regulations regarding the re duction of the use of gus and elec tricity have caused considerable feel ing In London among households us ing these supplies for lighting and rooking purposes. The effect of the | order has been to place the careful ! person who has kept down her hills j In a more difficult position than liei I neighbor who has been wasteful. I Many families in view of the coal rationing scheme have Installed gas or electricity for heating and warming purposes, and they now find that tin ! der the conditions of the order these appliances will he Insufficient for their needs. The object of the order was stated i us being the saving of coal, hut the effect, especially in the middle-class homes, will he to rely more on the coal tire for cooking and heating pur poses than the other means, and as a result more coal will be burned. The London traffic problem was never in even a fair way of solution until the American experts came over and took the matter In hand some years ugo. But they succeeded in do ing more than solving the problem of rapid transit—they taught the people to use their systems, and the passen ger traffic of London bus grown enor mously In consequence. Today experts are needed more than ever as the situation of London traffic under the present condition goes from had to worse. The eotmmenfleer Ing by the military authorities lias re duced the supply of motor omnibuses to a mere dribble, while the saving of coal and electricity Inis caused the withdrawal of many of the surfuce cars and the subway trains. In consequence every vehicle Is crowded, and to attempt to Imurd either train or ear orMitis during the rush hours Im only a possibility for the athlete. All Wish to Wed Soldier.
