The National Congress of Congregational Churches, which recently met in Washington, D. was attended by numerous colored delegates, who were received In a special audience by President Cool-Idge. The Fisk Jubilee singers en-tertnlned the congress Sunday evening and Monday afternoon. Perry W.

Howard, special assistant to the attorney general of the United States, who has risen from the ranks, formerly was a Pullman porter, later serving as Pullman porter Instructor. He has written for "The Negro Press" a most remarkable article In which he has reviewed the history of the Pullman porter's services and the benefits the race has derived from this employment. He says: "Pullman service has been the door through which thousands of men of the race have been able to enter the professions. All over the land there are doctors, lawyers, bankers, preachers, teachers, dentists and journalists who were able to obtain the education that made possible their present position by working as porters. Hundreds of students earn enough each summer as temporary porters to pay their way through school or college during the winter.

"The relationship of the Pullman company to the Pullman porter for half a century has been one of good will and cooperation. There has been more than ordinary business contact. There has been sympathetic understanding and a real helpful friendship on the part of the company and its officials. The door of the office of the President ha always been open to any porter and he can get sympathetic hearing ou any service or personal difficulty. "Employment with the Pullman company has always been a badge of honor among the race, arid the Pullman porter, coming in contact each year with 35,000,000 passengers, has been a missionary for his people.

The impression he conveys to the public for good or evil Is of vital importance. to his race, as the state of mind he creates is nationwide. There are thousands of porters who have done more good for their race than has come from sermons, speeches, articles, editorials and crusades. They are living object lessons."

Berkeley ethnologist and if it doesn't shock the pyg mies, it win ne only because they are too dull mentally to experience one, for never has a bird like this been seen by them. Stirling and his aides, by using a plane, expect to succeed in their Btudy of the pygmies where past expeditions have failed. The big piane is now at crissy Field, San being crated for, ship-bent to Batavia, Java, on board the liner President Van Buren, on which members of the party will aail on November 21.

From Ba tavia the crated plane will be hipped to Dobo, the port of the Aru Islands, oft the south coast of New Guinea and north of Australia, There it will be set up and take the air for Its dash across the Arafura Sea to pygmy land. STIRLING NOW IN Jj. A. Stirling, who lives at 1014 Euclid avenue, Berkeley, is in Los Angeles making final preparations for the trip. He has been busy en arrangements for the expedition for a year and has made a close study of the reports of the two British expeditions.

In the British Ornithologists' Union expedition of 1910 hardly a man, white or native, escaped fever and chills, dysentery or beriberi, according to A. F. R. Wollarf-ton, a member of the party, who frave an account of the expedition In a book entitled "Pygmies and Papuans" published in 1912. It was Captain C.

G. Rawling of that expedition who first glimpsed the pygmies. He headed an exploring party on the Kapare river In the vicinity of Tapiro mountain, a peak with an elevation of 7660 feet, and Wollaston describes the discovery of thedwarfs as follows: "While he was walking up the river bed one day, the Papuans who were with him caught, after an exciting chase, two small men whose build and dress and appearance proclaimed them to belong to another race than the Papuan. A day or two later two more were captured, while they were crossing the river. They were kindly treated and presents were given to them, but they showed no inclination to conduct strangers to their home, a large clearing in the Jungle on the hillside, which could be plainly seen from the Kapare rver.

We learned from the Papuans that these little people were called Tapiro." RACE OF BOM) MEN. The British found these diminutive people at first shy, but won their confidence with gifts. According to Wollaston, they average 4 feet 9 inches in height. As to 4heir color, he says, they are "so inaescriDaDiy airiy uiac ic is not easy to know what is their true rolor." They are negritoes, a different stock from the normal-sized Papuan natives of the island, andhave short woolly black hair. The young men grow whiskers and the older men wear short bushy beards.

They grow bald early, and probably would appreciate a case hair restorer if the Stirling expedition carries that among Its Supplies. There Is "something sleepy and dog-like which gives a pathetic expression to their faces," Wollaston wrote. "The Tapiro, as a rule," the explorer found, "looks blank and rather sad, and when a mile does appear upon his face. It dawns slowly and reluctantly." Continuing his description, Wal-laston says: "Their voices are rather high-pitched and one of them who met lis first and. called several of the ethers to come and see us, tended hi calls with a very curious shrill yodelling note.

When we came away we offered them cloth and beads to come with us and show lis a better way, but they were either too frightened or too lazy to do so." appeared to be particularly attracted to the women (the Papuan, women) one of whom we saw affectionately embrace a Tapiro on his arrival; it was said that she kissed him, but if that was so it was the only occasion on which that form of endearment was seen practiced by the Papuans." PYGMY WOMEN niDDEN. According to Wollaston's book, the British were not permitted to see any of the pygmy women. They were jealously guarded by the Tapiros and ho Inducement of the explorers would shake their determination to keep the women hidden. Although they show a certain skill in the construction of their hnuHcs, the pygmies were credited with very low intelligence. Captain Rawling believed they could count us hitfh as ten.

but Wollaston doubted this and said they had no word to convey the Idea of a number above two.

While the weather is described as "alnioHt always wot," tho wettest months arc Jul August and September.

In accepting the chest presidency, Sproul said at the annual meeting attended by representatives of local agencies: "I appreciate the honor of your confidence and your belief in my ability to fill this position acceptably. It was with reluctance that I agreed to undertake it because of the many burdens on me, but my interest In the Community Chest Is so great that I felt I could not shirk the obligation. In accepting the presidency I do so with the understanding that you here representing the community and agencies participating in the chest, in asking me to serve are endorsing the chest idea, and pledging me your support in the coming year. "There has been some tendency on the part of the agencies in Berkeley to regard the chest in a suspicious or hostile way, as a sort of absentee landlord forced upon them. TJiere has been no reason for this belief and 1 hope there will continue to be none.

I am tremendously interested in this new job as a piece of cooperative community effort. I would not be at all interested in it as a disagreeable fight. I have been asked to serve not only by yourselves but by the agencies most vltably interested. It Is in the light of this statement that I accept the position." ANSWER ROLL CALL.
