The Afro-American

..WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT.. Edited by Margaret Black Hannah Smith's sewing room looked cozy and inviting and Hannah's cheery smile just speiled welcome, as she looked up to greet her friend who had just run in for a few minutes' little rest. child and been shopping," asked Hannah. "You said little Mrs. Wilson, "It seems I'm always shopping, with two boys and two girls I seldom get anything else done, they wear out everything so fast, until it keeps me trying to devise plans to keep them properly clothed. Thos' help us economize with a big bib." I'd like to know how we can do it. Cingham is 25 to 30 cents a yard, percute fifteen and two girls and linen twenty-five to fifteen and two girls to make dresses for those boys, well—I'm plumb discouraged." caution, know it is easier said than done, to "tend fun to economize." to think "Fun to economize." screamed Mrs. Wilson. "I don't think you. Here I've been walking all day trying to make one car do the work of five. I wish I had all the money that I needed for things and not have to turn and twist, and think until I have the head-ache over every dollar, before I spend it. I need to economize—it might be if you know how, but I don't know how, all the economizing I try to do turns out wrong and costs more than if I had not tried it. I'm sick of the word. I hear it at home and abroad, so much that I feel like running every time anyone says economize to me." Hannah smiled, and said, "Well my dear if I had as many brothers as you have besides a Dad, I never want to be a child, but waist or dresses for children or self." or aprons for children or "I would like to know what difference the dad and husband and brothers make." "A good deal," replied Hannah. "Your two girls one egit and one ten are just a nice size to use the men's shirts to make little school dresses. You see your men folks are all either doing office work or teaching. They have lots of shirts and your brothers being single, don't want a shirt pattern. They make lovely little blouses or Betty Welles dresses for the small girls. The shirts of men are of good material and excellent colors, but when worn at the collar and cuffs so that they can wear any longer, you lay away the torn part, and lay your pattern over them. The shoulders are always too wide, but they are easily remedied. Take up the extra fullness with smocking using colored thread like the color in the shirt, or by tucking either in pinn tucks or half inch tucks. If the shirts are worn at the elbow, there is enough material the partly worn sleeve to take a sleeve long enough for a young girl or two years old. If you desire other trimming, a couple of yards of pinn tucks, or a bolt of narrow cotton braid and you'll have enough for collar and cuffs for a dozen dresses. The silk shirts of brothers will make you a lovely set of shirtwists, the sleeves can be made long or short as you wish and the pieces that come off the tails will make your collar and new cuffs. Or you can take any good boys's shirtwist pattern and make your boys some shirtwists out of their shirts or divide them between the four children and die them not need to care how bigingham or percale goes. But to children so I use mine for shirtwists and fancy aprons. Those that are too badly won for shirtwists I use for aprons. "Well, I never," exclaimed Mrs. Wilson. "Live and learn. I'm glad I dropped in, I'll go by home and get Dad and the boys to look over shirts and give me what I can't or won't wear anymore and I'll take Jack's and give me thread and go to work. I know you any more economical plans, if so tell me tight now." "Well I don't know of anything else just now, unless it would be a little hint I received from a friend of mine about boy's stockings. She always puts a pad on the knee of every new pair of stockings she buys it saves time and wear. Boy's will lean and crawl about on their knees in spite of all any one may say and the pads are good size patch from an old stocking, seit on double where the holes are sure to appear." "Well I have just bought six pair and I'll patch them all before they are worn. Thank you so much for your help. If I don't get my shirt-waist just right or the kiddie's dresses, I will call on you for help." Have you dug your potatoes from your garden? Were they all good size or did you find a good many small ones, some so small you did not know what to do with them as you thought they were too small to cook? Well, I hope you kept them, because matter how small they can be used without an aid, they pick out a galion to the very smallest you have, wash them clean by scrubbing with the little hand brush, and put on to boil. When done, remove from the the fire, pour in a colander and leave until dry. Then put in a pan and sit in the ice-box until needed. They can be skinned and used for fried potatoes for breakfast or for large potatoes, on potato or a cannon. When people four times fried for breakfast, twice creamed and twice potato salad. A good way to fry potatoes to save ment is to put them in a skillet with some hard and butter mixed, and a little minced parsley. Let them get hot thrush and browned slightly, then add the oil and pepper to taste and stir thoroughly until done. Serve immediately. If you are tired of mashed, baked and plain boiled potatoes, then try them stewed. Peel and slice as many as you want for a meal. Do not cut the potatoes until they do well on the water, and add three tablespoonful of butter, a tablespoon of minced parsley and pepper and salt to taste, let get hot thrush and serve immediately. THAT MIDDY BLOUSE An unusual touch can be given a school girl's mildy blouse, by adding a belt of crocheted wool, with a narrow border of darned wool on the collar, cuffs and pockets. White with any of the bright shades or a combination of two colors makes a blouse of this style unique. Colour can be used, but it will not be as smart as wool. POTATOES Why worry if it is long. There are as many long ones seen as short ones. But if you think you are not quite up to date in your long sweater, then unravel it to the length desired and bind it off. Use the wool to make yourself a knitted of crocheted sheer fabric, still buy it in the size and toope it desire and crochet a hat to fit the frame. Add a crocheted band or bow and have a hat that sells in the stores from eight to ten dollars. They are pretty worked in two colors. Dark olive and blue brown and dark gray olive and olive, and maroon purple and orange and many other combinations to suit the most particular of women.

Three Months - - - Forty cents Six Months - - - - Fifty Cents One Year - - - - One Dollar Walters of the Copely Square hotel in Boston are back at work. Under the new arrangements they are allowed one day off in each week, and an increase in salary. The union has been recognized. After the soldier has made the world safe for democracy, a great big job awaits him in the South making democracy safe for himself. Watt Terry of Brocton, Massachusetts, has taken over the million dollar real estate ventures of the late Philip Payton of New York. It is good to know that the work of saving colored New Yorkers from the slums, and offering them livable homes in Harlem will go on well managed in the hands of a colored real estate dealer. Some time ago a Chicago newspaper started a movement to have colored workers leave all positions with firms that discriminated against colored people. As a result it is reported that several pullman porters have resigned their positions when told that colored travelers could not receive accommodations on their cars. In Atlanta, Georgia, a similar movement has been started, colored folk are asked to stop doing business with firms in buildings that have elevators, "this car for colored people and packages." "We can not fuss at these people," say the Georgians, "about their rules, but we can stay out. If you like that kind of treatment, keep on going up there and paying your money to be insulted and humiliated; if you do not like it stay away." THE CASE OF BUNDY Governor Cox of Ohio has announced an indefinite postponement of a decision upon the extradition claims of the state of Illinois against Dr. Leroy Bunday. It will be remembered that Dr. Bunday, who is a dentist, fled from East St. Louis after the riots there, and took refuge in Cleveland, Ohio, where he was discovered, and arrested. He was charged by the Illinois authorities with inciting and leading the colored people in the disturbances known as the East St. Louis Riot, and with the death of several whites. Up until last week Illinois has attempted by extradition to get hold of Dr. Bunday in order to take him back to East St. Louis for trial. The announcement of Governor Cox that a decision on the case has been indefinitely postponed is equivalent to stating that Dr. Bunday will not be sent back to East St. Louis. The Governor is reported to have personally assured the father of Dr. Bunday who is an A. M. E. minister, that until Illinois can produce definite evidence of his son's complicity, extradition papers will never be issued. In the trial of Dr. Bunday, no one could be gotten to witness his leadership of the colored people in the riot. The charge against him for murder rested on the fact that two or three white persons were killed and wounded by bullets of the same calibre as a revolver owned by the Doctor. It did not seem to matter much to the Illinois prosecutors, that these persons were shot and killed three miles from the home of Dr. Bunday, at a time when all colored men and women were afraid of venturing out side their own doors. So the case of Dr. Bunday is closed, and the Grand Jury which has indicted some 134 persons for the East St. Louis trouble will not pass on the innocence or guilt of Dr. Bunday. It would seem that the few cooled people who were able to defend their homes from the fire, and their families from death, ought to be given hero medals rather than indictments for manslaughter and rioting. PROTEST PARADES New York's protest parade in which ten thousand marched and twenty thousand looked on with approval was staged to voice silent dissapproval of the lynching and mob spirit, which had so recently culminated in the E. St. Louis affair. The success of this parade led the people of Newark, N. J. to plan a similar method of publicity on last Wednesday. The people of that city felt that a silent protest parade would also be a good thing to call attention to the unequal treatment of colored people as it is manifested not alone in lynching, but also in segregation, Jim Crow cars and disfranchisement. "We march," read one of the banners, "because we are thorny opposed to Jim Crow Cars. Segregation, Disfranchisement, LYNCHING, and the host of evils that are thrust upon us. It is time that the spirit of Christ should be manifested in the making and executing of the laws." It does seem that no better method could be taken to acquaint the nation with the discontent of its colored population. The white press is not open to its colored readers for contributions except of the most irrelevant character. The ear of the white law makers, is not tuned to catch the sound of the colored constituent's desires. Whites have seen the parades of fraternal societies at their annual conventions, of celebrations and jubilations of various kinds, but they have never seen public sentiment thus expressed on any matter of serious moment. In fact the white man's standing excuse for the lack of democracy in America is that the colored people want to be segregated, they are best satisfied in separate cars with their own people, and that they feel safest when whites represent them in political offices. Nothing would do more to contradict these false impressions, than a parade of silent thousands thru the streets of American cities. Nothing would do more to awaken the American people as a whole to the lapse of democracy in America. Nothing could do more to encourage those who believe that America should live up to the things it tells the world it believes in. Protest parades ought to be the order of the day in every large city in the country. Edward Lord was sent with a consignment of Ohio drafted men under the assumption that he was white. Rathenghan suffer the humiliation of being segregated with five others who were that also to be white. Lord committed suicide. "Democracy is as dead as a doorrail" remarks a writer in the November Crisis. Certainly it is, but we can only make an impression on door nails by banging on them. As long as folk will kill themselves for the kind of democracy we have they will never be able to kill it. NOW IT IS THE JAZZ The Jazz music and the Jazz dance have been with us for nearly a year. Everybody has been so busy doing it and watching it, that the more thoufful have just begun to wonder what it means and where it came from. "The delirium tremens of syncopation," one artist is said to have called it, "differing from other music in that it appeals to the eyes as well as to the ears. The new dance does not have to be learned. You simply listen to the music, and irristibly you find yourself going thru the right motions. The dancers are aided in this considerably by the contortions of the Jazz orchestra. A writer in the Philadelphia Press, who is given to observation, noted that a good bit depended on the orchestra. If the violinist properly jiggled his bow, the pianist bobbed up and down, the clarinetist jigged meanwhile waving his free hand, and the cornetist wiggled to the swaying of the trombonist, the music was bound to call forth the proper motions from the dancers. Most recently it has been discovered that the word in Creole patols of New Orleans means "speeding up things." Imported there from Haifa and Cuba it is supposed to have originated in West Africa. The savage medicine man is that to have goaded his tribe to frenzy by the use of it. Eventually it reached New Orleans and survived there for several generations in the underworld resorts. Gradually it ascended the Mississippi to Chicago, and then branched out in both directions toward the oceans, gaining a national popularity. Perhaps it is a bit disconcerting to the inventors of new things to know that the most popular music of the day is several centuries old, and that at bottom it is nothing more than the wild syncopated boom-pa of a drum of the African wild man. The Jazz is the newest contribution of a civilization that is so often said to "have left absolutely no traces." MID-YEAR CONFERENCE The mid-year conference of the Baltimore A. M. E.

The years we spent together They always seemed so bright The sun was always shining And there was no night. But I lost you, yes, I lost you After fifteen years of joy And no one knows the sorrow of my aching heart. Only God that deemed it wise for you and me to part. By her mother. Mrs. Mary E. Galloway In loving remembrance of my dear mother, Harriett Johnson, who died one year ago, October 10, 1916. Days of sadness still come o'er me Teach of sorrow silently flow. Fond memory keeps my mother near me. Though heaven claimed her one year ago. By her daughter, Julia Johnsoa In loving but sad remembrance of my dear mother, Sarah S. Dent, who departed this life six months ago, April 7, 1917. My heart still sore As time goes on I miss her more. We are waiting by the river We are watching by the shore, Only waiting for the boatman, Soon he'll come to bear us o'er. He has called for many a loved one, We have seen them leave our side; With our Saviour we shall meet them, When we too have crossed the tide. When we've passed the vale of shadows, With its dark and chilling tide In that bright and glorious city We shall evermore abide. Gertrude Carr CRAYE—In sad but loving memory of William, the beloved husband of Mrs. Sarah Crane, who departed this life seventeen years ago, October 8th, Called from this world for a peaceful Called by God who knows best; Sweet in our memory he will always remain, Until in heaven we meet again.

All I have is fond remembrance Of the happy days of yore; But looking forward with rejoicing. When we meet to part no more By his mother, Ella Dungee SMITH—In loving remembrance of my dear husband. Charles Smith; who departed this life on October 7, 1918. The month of October once more is here To me the saddest of the year His memory is as dear today As in the hour he passed away. By his wife, Josephine Smith SHALTON—In loving remembrance of my dear wife and sister, Octavia Shalton, who departed this life one year ago, October 6, 1916. Oh how hard I tried to save her Prayers and tears were all in vain Happy angels came and took her From this world of toll and pain. By her loving husband. John W. Shalton Peaceful be your rest dear sister It is sweet to breathe your name In life I loved you dearly In death I do the same. By her devoted sister, Aramie Scott, 616 N. Bethel St. COATES—In sad but loving remembrance of our dear mother, Henrietta who departed this life 6 years ago, October 7, 1911, and our brother, Geo W. Coates, who died eight months ago February 4, 1917. Gone but not forgotten. God took our loved ones from our home But never from our hearts. Six years have passed our hearts are sore As doles on we miss her more They sleep, we leave them in peace to rest The parting was painful but God knew best By her lovling children, Mrs. Annie B. Gipson, Mrs. Sarah J. Driver, Thom as and Mary E. Coates. CLARKE-In sad but loving remembrance of our dear wife and mother, Mary Clarke, who departed this life one year ago, October 1st, 1916. The rose that is dearest and rarest. Is the one that is killed by the frost; The love that was purest and fairest. Is the one that we lost. Though cast down, we're not forsaken. Though afflicted, not alone; Thou didst give and Thou has taken, Blessed Lord. Thy will be done. By her husband and daughter, Henry Clarke & Sadie Clarke Murphy.

A’ cordial:.wel- come to” all.; Fa Er aa the ae Atl Pe ROOKIES TOLD TO OBEY STATE LAWS Fort Des Moines, IA., Sept. 27. Monday the 17th Provisional Regiment in training here was visited by Inspector General Chamberlin. General Chamberlin has just recently returned from investigating the Houston affair, being a member of the Board sent to study the situation. Secretary of War Baker sent Inspector Chamberlin to the fort here to tell the men of the investigation and also of the administration's policies. It was only reasonable to believe that the affair would affect the morale of the candidates, especially so when there are a large number of 24th Infantry men in training here. These men are old at the game and have been dealing with the "cracker" for a number of years. There seems to be an impression that the Negro soldier goes around the country with a chip on his shoulder. Very little thought is given to the fact that he is a soldier, and is due to act just as any other well disciplined soldier would act. Says general Chanuelton in talking to the candidates, "The Houston affair was a race affair, inflamed by the brutal beating-up of Corporal Ealtimore." The colored soldiers disobeyed the laws (Jim Crow) of the state of Texas. They took down "Jim Crow" signs and refused to sit in "Jim Crow" sections. Whether or not "Jim Crowism" is right, is out of the question, the administration not intend to go into the war. Men must obey the statute of war. Any candidate might as well get your papers from Headquarters now and leave the crowd." While following out the above sentiments would aid in carrying out a policy or accomplishing a purpose, it is a mighty hard task for any well trained and disciplined soldier not to give vent to the very training he has received, and anything snacks of discourtesy not toward a man only but toward a man in the soldier's uniform. To be a "peace at any price" soldier or officer on one side of the ocean and a "fight like—" one on the other side are two highly inconsistent policies. The highest military efficiency would be to "be taught to run" at home and "to hold your ground" in a strange country. Apparently there are a good number of officers who have not yet seen service abroad, who are unable to size up the European situation. One officer at Camp Dodge, the seat of the 13th Cantonment, about ten miles out from Des Moines, is reported as saying that, "This is a white man's war; it is doubtful that the Negro soldiers will ever see the European trenches. Other nations have their Negro soldiers guarding wagon trains." He saw fit to make the statement to a newspaper reporter for publication. Advices from Washington are to the effect that the first quote of the colored conscripts will be called on October the third, the same to we compose dof "down-home" men only. It is believed that the southern poor son "go along night" under the south-west environment, as they are used to it, than their northern, western or eastern brothers. The authorities say the state laws must be obeyed. As for the colored officers, they face a 'problem which no other military man of any nation' has to deal with. In the first place he is limited to one branch of the service—infantry; in the second place, in the time of war, he is placed below the lowest insignificant southerner and his, much less his insignificant brother, more to than that of Uncle Ephys. CAMP HAS NAS HEAD CASAL BRIGADIE General Ballon reported for duty at Camp Dodge as commander of the One Hundred and Sixty-third Depot Brigade. Lieut. Colonel Hunt will relieve Gen. Ballon of his command at Fort Des Moines. WINCHESTER ITEMS Winchester, Md., October 4.—The Grand Rally that closed at St. Paul last Sunday was a financial success. Rev. G. W.

How sad is the broken circle of that home which was once made happy by the presence of Mother Mary Beatty, because of her bright and cheerful disposition. As time passes on we miss her' christian counsel. On her we could always depend and knew that she was our sincere friend. The many precious hours on earth we spent together Sunday afternoons around Mother Bethel Church conversing with each other. "She made one remain with me," she said, "with me. Her words were" Jesus told me when He got ready to take me home to heaven. He would not let me stay here and suffer. "Now that she is sleeping in yonder grave yard, neath the cold sod and dew, but she is never a knee to keep her memory bright though memory brings with it tears. Yes, tears of love will often trickle down our cheeks as we recall each time one of thy noble virtues and words from the thy precious lips. We never keep thy memory gentle as ever were to mortal given. 'Twas angle-like to dwell here, but Jesus wanted the in heaven. Grieve not dear family and friends, for heaven's eternal is beaming around her pathway. Purity and content, yes, heaven's jewel is shining with a lustre run. By her devoted friend, MRS. A. L.

The Egyptian High Priest taught the initiated that the soul was immortal, and the body was invisible. The invisible spiritual world. Spiritualism was demonstrated and practiced through the ages. Spiritualism is not Ghost-ism; Spiritualism means to converse with unseen intelligences; it is as ancient as dignity. The disciples were all spiritual. Paul saw a "house not made with hands eternal in the heavens." He had visions he was entranced; heard voices; spirit intelligences speaking to him out of the unseen. Read what the Bible says: "I concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Now their are diversities of gifts but the same spirit. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to everyone to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit of wisdom, knowledge of faith of healing, knowledge of miracles, prophecy of discerning of spirits and all other gifts." Cor. XII 1, 4, 7-10.
