OURE OLD HIGHLY ESTEEMED PR ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, AND THE PRAISES OF THE NINETE THE BROAD AX. It was stated in the last issue of this paper that the Nineteenth Anniversary Edition of The Broad Ax cut a very wide swath—that twenty-sight out of the forty-two candidates it recommended to the voters throughout this city and Cook county won out at the primaries Wednesday, September 9th. This was further proven, for on Monday morning of this week Mr. Frank Ford, who has faithfully served as private secretary to Hon. Roger C. Sullivan for some years, and who is as smooth as the finest of oil himself when it comes down to dealing with the politicians, for he is always there with the glad hand and his old-time smile, ordered one hundred copies of the Nineteenth Anniversary Edition of The Broad Ax, the papers to be sent for distribution among the Afro-American voters residing at Spring Valley, Illinois. It seems that the Colored people residing in that section of this state wanted to read with their own eyes respecting the friendship of Mr. Sullivan towards worthy Afro-Americans, for it was set forth in that issue how Mr. Sullivan away back in 1892 to 1894, as clerk of the Probate Court, retained Attorney William G. Anderson as his private secretary and stenographer, while at the same time many of his White friends and associates severely condemned him for not removing Mr. Anderson and placing a White man in his position. As stated before in these columns, Mr. Sullivan would not discharge nor separate him from the pay roll as long as he performed his duties properly, simply on account of the color of his skin, and Mr. Anderson remained as his secretary and stenographer until the end of his term as clerk of the Probate Court. That act on the part of Mr. Sullivan has in the past and will continue to raise him high in the estimation of the better class of Afro-Americans residing in this city and throughout the state of Illinois. Our old, highly esteemed friend Noah D. Thompson, of Los Angeles, Cal., and others are still engaged in sounding the praises of the Nineteenth Anniversary Edition of The Broad Ax, and the following letter and comments speak for themselves: Los Angeles Cal.

The (Chicago) Broad Ax has celebrated its nineteenth anniversary and its issue of September 5, 1914, reflected great credit on Negro journalism and showed the race to be a long wav from the days of the Negro cabin and plantation presided over by the heartless overseer and the bull, whip in literary advancement. From the slave plantation to the field of the highest proficiency in journalism is what The Broad Ax in its anniversary issue showed. We congratulate that paper and the race. Push on, push on, push on.-The Reformer, Richmond, Va., Sept. 19, 1914. THE BROAD AX. Nineteen consecutive years without missing an issue is the enviable record made by Chicago's oldest race weekly, The Broad Ax. That Julius F. Taylor, its editor and founder, deserves a world of credit goes without saying. Just what it means to float a large cosmopolitan paper until it reaches a paying basis, few people outside of the clan know. Fearless and uncompromising, Editor Taylor wields a powerful pen for the cause of justice and right, and the evil door finds in him a foe relentless to the end. Those who failed to get a copy of the recent anniversary number missed a rare treat. It was the acme of journalism. Chicagoans are always doing big things and one of our most progressive citizens is Editor Julius F. Taylor. Vive The Broad Ax.—The Chicago Defender, Sept. 19, 1914.

He was born April 7, 1842, in Louisville, Ky. Colonel Allensworth lived the life of a slave until he escaped in 1863 and joined the United States navy. He served as steward until the end of the Civil War. After the war he enrolled at the schools of the Baptist Home Mission society at Louisville, acquiring a practical education and a knowledge of theology. President Cleveland appointed Ideson Colonel Allensworth chaplain CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 THE LADY OF THE MUSIC MRS.

The noted dramatic reader and sweet music which appears in another colu in the regular army, 24th regiment, in 1886. To assume his duties Colonel Allensworth resigned the pastorate of the Union Baptist church of Cincinnati, Ohio. He was retired on full pay four years ago. He served as secretary to Dr. Barrows with the parliament of religions at the Columbian Exposition in Chicago in 1893. After his retirement from the army he established a self-governed colony for Negroes in the San Joaquin valley. He leaves a widow and two daughters—The Los Angeles Express, Sept. 19, 1914. When Booker Washington advises the delegates to the Negro Business League to cease fighting segregation laws and to devote themselves to acquiring wealth and intelligence, he was simply advocating his propaganda which he has been preaching for the past quarter of a century, viz., "The line of the least resistance," or to state it more accurately, "no resistance at all." It is this obsequious doctrine that has resulted in growing up a generation of moral cowards among the Negroes of this country. This teaching of his has brought about a condition of economic serfage that has well nigh sapped all the manhood and darkened the hopes and stiffened the ennobling aspirations of the Negroes for fifty years. It is to be very much regretted that a man of such commanding opportunity and wide influence in his day and generation should be so servile and spineless in his teachings. It is this very damaging doctrine that has brought about the unbearable and humiliating conditions of jim crowism, disfranchisement and segregation, which may be regarded as "the unkindest cut of all." Appointed by White South. This unfortunate statement before the Negro Business League was not the first egregious blunder that Booker has made since assuming the role of the southern White man appointed leadership of the Negroes of America, and however much we rejoice in his marvelous achievements along industrial lines, we have yet to be convinced that his policies of non-resistance are not yet injurious and deleterious to the development of the nobility of true manhood and race virility. We repeat, that at this particular time, when the Negro was beginning to assert himself and resist the cowardly attacks of the Negro-hating White man, as manifested in the insidious form of segregation, he has given a blow to the race that is irreparable, and owing to the positions which he occupies in the eye of the public, simply intensifies the heinousness of its effects. To our way of thinking some of the evils, with which we as a race have to contend, will not be remedied by the subservant mien and truckling requiescence which the Wizard of Tuskegee is being used to propagate. It may result in bringing a few paltry dollars to Tuskegee that will serve the few and infinitestimal part of the millions or more Negroes in this country, but will do great harm to the great struggling element of the race rising out of the ruins of a heartless prejudice, and will rivet the chains of proscription and serfdom. Mr. Washington may yet live to see the day, if he does not see it now, when such a dangerous doctrine, of which he is the chief exponent, will produce a fruitage of backboneless, sycophantic, cringing cowards of the Negro race in this country. Hoke Smith Waiting for it. This is the kind of bread upon which such political demagogues as Ben Tillman, Jim Vardaman, Hoke Smith and Hefflin feed. They and their kind have been waiting in breathless suspense for this very utterance, which they were sure would come in due time, just when a healthy sentiment was being chrystallized against such a damnable heresy as segregation. Some one has said, and truly said, "To submit with silence when we should protest, makes cowards out of men." THE HOME OF MR. AND MRS. EDWARD H. WRIGHT ENTERED BY A ROBBER. At half past three o'clock Tuesday morning a highwayman coatless, hatless and shoeless, very stealthily entered the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edward H. Wright, 2963 Wabash avenue, by raising one of the back bedroom windows. Mr. Wright was sleeping soundly in the room at the time and the robber had to almost climb over his bed in order to make his way to the front part of the house. The unwelcome intruder relieved Mr. Wright of his gold watch, chain and charm valued at $115, a small diamond stud worth from $40 to $50 and $15 in real money. It being a very warm night, Mrs. Wright was reclining at the time on a davernent in the front parlor and she did not realize that a burglar was in the house until he stood right close unto her. Then she sprang to her feet and grappled with him, seizing both of his wrists, at the same time screaming and shouting at the top of her voice for help, exclaiming that "a burglar is in the house." HighlyInterestingArticle on Music. Its Art Should be Earnestly Cultivated by all Those Who Makethe Slightest Pretensions of Being Civilized CONTRIBUTED BY MRS. LOU ELIA LYLES SMITH. 3427 VERNON AVE. Music is such a great agent, and while we as a people love it and take readily to it, we fail to cultivate it earnestly as an "art," and for this reason we cannot derive the fullest benefit from it. Sure, we often hear slighting remarks concerning "classic music," and our people's enjoyment of the same, that is all pretense on the part of those who cater to this sort of music. But I say the fault in such cases is not with the one who practices and caters to "classic music," but it is in the person who makes so false a remark. I know it is a fact that the "concept mass" of our people do not appreciate "classic music," it is because they have not been educated up to it. But a great number of our people have to be educated up to it, do love it and practice it in their homes. We have only a few who can lay claim to be "real artists" and because of our lack of education along "musical lines" we often rate a person as being an "artist" when they have no just claims to the title, and could only be considered a student. We all know in what lights "Negro music" is considered in the "music world" of America. We all know that the favorable opinion of "Negro music" is fully deserved, but Negro music is not a curiosity like some of the monotonous and melancholy chants of the East, neither is it a wild yell, such as some of our foreign friends long expected of us, in order to secure a fresh and distinctive American note. What our American critics are given to term real "Negro music," especially "jubilee songs," are often expressions of pain itself, softened by patience, suffering, with all the misery left out, and all the "melody" left in. Then and some of them informed her after it was all over that they thought that she and Mr. Wright were fighting between themselves, that they did not want to get mixed up in it, even if one or the other should happen to get killed, and as no one rushed to the assistance of Mrs. Wright, the robber made his escape by raising and jumping through the large front window into the street and rushing around to the side of the house and disappearing in the darkness. It does seem that civilized people residing in any neighborhood upon hearing an unusual noise at a late hour of the night, would at least be interested to the extent of ascertaining whether or not some one was being foully murdered. This is fine weather for a vigorous fall clean-up. Premises that are carefully cleaned now will not require so much work next spring. No.1 what lacks it in any thing? For one famous music master has said that "Melody alone constitutes the essence of all music." Then again Negro music is sheer, bubbling joy in existence, without constraint, just good natured, full of hope and happiness. Now between these two extremes "Negro music" touches human emotion at every point, and with precise expression. The quality that is so irresistible in its appeal is probably its hearty sincerity. The Italians speak of the tear in the voice as the ultimate height reached by the trained human voice, and they write music of this pure, emotional type, but "Negro music" is so pathetic tender and sincere that it well-nigh places a tear in the voice of itself, at any rate often brings a tear to the eye. Negro music is not in any way characteristic of the United States; it is a part of himself alone. Negro music is heard everywhere in this country, unless it be in our churches. Theaters are full of it, in the orchestra, on the stage; it is the one constant note in all our everyday musical life. That it pleases should not be wondered at, for it is real music and of a fine quality. But why should we be content with our music alone? To be "artists" we must be able to "mastar" all the classics of different composers. Why should our composers be limited to using only the compositions of musicians of their own race? I say, study all "authors," sing their songs, play their pieces. Learn all there is to learn, and then choose your own path. these autumn days? They know the cold weather is at hand and so they want to get inside where there is warmth and comfort and lengthened life for them. How do you like the community you are living in? Are there not some things that need correction? Are you helping to get them corrected? Are you doing your share to make your community a better place to live in this year than it was last year? Even though you move next May, the effort is worth your while. Why not begin now? Do not begrudge your boy his outdoor playtime after school hours. The football game or the baseball game on the vacant lot will be of great benefit to him after his day in school. The autumn months after the long summer vacation are particularly hard on the boys and girls who have lived out of doors almost all the time and had plenty of good air and lots of vigorous exercise. For this reason they should be encouraged to indulge in all of the out-of-door sports after school hours. Now is the time to place your fly poison on the back porch just outside your kitchen door, being sure there is no other food for them to get. Mix one pint of milk and water, equal parts; add two teaspoonsful of formaldehyde, which can be purchased at any drug store.

PLANNING FOR THE WINDOW GARDEN Hanging Baskets, Flower Boxes and Plast Stands Should Be Prepared and Planted Early. Fancy Effects Sold In the Shops. T is not too early to plan for the indoor winter garden. Brackets, window boxes and flower tables may be prepared. If you can af- ford them there are many novelties in ‘wicker shown in the shops. The shapes vary, and most of them can be dupll- cated in wood by the home carpenter. With a coat of green paint or enamel ‘on the ottside they are very presenta- ble’ too. A bonler,of vines that will hang over the sides of a box hides any cradities. If you can obtain birch bark the outside of the boxes may be cov- ered with this. A finish of this sort ts very fetching. Hanging baskets for sunny windows should not be forgot- ten. * A refreshing change from the win- Gow box ts the flower box table. This 4s about three feet in diameter and is of looser weave than a good many of the other articles. The table has a deep, circular basin in the middle, a border of wicker around this and a zinc Uned pocket running around the wick- er border and forming the edge of the table. ‘You can easily see how incomparably lovely such @ table would be with the central and border basins filled with flowers. ‘The pyramid table is one that makes ‘very pretty effect. It simply started out to be a pyramid and was cut short in the act—a kind of truncated form. A combination mirror and flower bas- Ket makes a pretty. wall ornament. You see, the beauty of these wicker trappings is that they are equally sult- able to Indoor and outdoor usage. The mirror is set in a latticed frame, and the basket hangs beneath it For cut flowers there are Jong, nar- Tow vases, as graceful as can be, and their tops look like big honeysuckles or morning glories. EMERGENCY AID. Useful In Many a Crisis For Women to Know How to Minister to the Injured. A little practical knowledge of medl- cine is useful for every woman. Not only does it belp her to diagnose the symptoms of disease in her own house- hold and call the assistance of a physician before it has taken a firm hold on the system, but in a great crisis like that of Europe it is invalu- able. There women who have never been expected to be called upon to minister to suffering have the dying and wounded at thelr very doors Doubtless where there are so many some must suffer from delay in recely- ing medical attention. In such emer- gencies a little skill in first ald to the injured must save many lives. ‘While it is to be hoped we may not have occasion to use such knowledge in America, accidents and disasters occur everywhere. The good old fash- fon of equipping women to minister to the minor ailments of the family was a useful and a wise one. All girls should have elementary training along these lines. ° THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914.

An outfit of this order may include & lace cap with ribbon bow and dainty collar and cuffs worn with a simple black gown. These are nice enough for any housebold ur any occasion. > HOW TO CHOOSE COLORS, . It is an important question, for we can make ourselves almost beautiful or entirely hideous just by the colors we wear. Is there one of us who hasn't some friend who persists in wearing a color which grates on the nerves and tastes of the beholder—a color which gives her face a washed out pallor or which accentuates to apopleptic propor- tions a florid complexion? ‘Whatever may be your faults of color or line, whether you are too pale, too sallow, too highly colored, too thin, too fat, too short, too tall, you can subdue and sometimes, to all appearances, eradicate them by care in choosing the colors of your gowns. Nor fs this all. Different colors pro- duce distinct psychological effects, and you can to a degree create in others the attitudes of mind which are pleas- ing to you. How do you feel, for instance, on a bolling bot day when a woman in a bright red gown greets your gaze? Dis- tinetly irritated and increasingly con- scious of the state of the thermometer, of course, while the vision of a pret- ty girl in a cool filmy white gown, white hose and white slippers is almost as refreshing as a breeze. For summer white 1s the color pre eminent, not only because it is cool to look at, but also because it repulses the heat rays, while red-absorbs them. In using touches of color with yobr white gown be careful to avoid “hot colors” and to select pastel shades. An exception to this is a rather vivid green, but th!s should not be worn un- less you bive a clear complexion and ‘2 good deal of color. . DISCRIMINATING MARKETING. Choosing Foods Whose Nutritive Value Is High Good Policy in Hard Times. Now. when food prices soar, is the time to think of the comparative nutri- tive values of foods, what cheap food can be substituted for expensive food and how cheap meats and fish, when available. can be made into attractive dishes. ‘To build the tissues the body re- quires protein. from meat. fish, eggs, cheese, peas, beans or milk; to furnish heat and energy. sugars and starchy foods and fats. and to keep well,’ min- eral matter, from various vegetables, cabbage and greens. The point is to select the cheapest source of these nutritive elements required. ‘When potatoes are high remember that rice, at 5 to 10 cents = pound, can weil be substituted, as it bas very early the same composition when dolled as potatoes and is even slightly more nutritive. Macaroni and spe- gbettl being starchy foods. may also replace potatoes and have the fartber advantege of contatuing considerable protein. + ed CANNING HINTS. It ts not possible to obtain the best results from vegetables that are over- grown of from fruits that are dead ripe. yet even these have their uses when nothing better is available. The fresh waterial xhonld be cleaned, all imperfect portioux removed and the remainder sorted for dierent pur- Poses. Large articles may te sliced oF cut im convenient ‘uniform sections Im Perfect shapes or edges rriy be chop ped fine for pickles or used for jams or jellies. Uniform sections of different fruits and vegetables may be cooked until nearly tender and then put in a sweet pickle vinegar or a mustan sauce. Underripe fruit is suitable for pickles or for jelly making. If fully ripe it may not look us well in the jars, bur will bave good flavor. A fruit that may be too soft to keep its shape even in a thick sirup will serve for jam or fruit butter. Proper utensils are essential, espe cially of materials that will not injure the delicate flavors of fruits, such as silver. wood and enamel ware. < Wire baskets for scalding fruit to re move skins and the rapid use of a wire strainer for fruit pulp are not ob- Jectionable. The Inrze mouthed funnel for filling jars ts made of tin or of enamel ware. : ‘A wooden spoon or paddle is con- ventent and a wooden masher ts good for “jams.” For accuracy. thermometer and strap gauge are required. Where large quan- tities are to be prepared cherry stoners and fruit presses are desirable. Odds and Ends From Cracker Boxes Are Useful in the Kitchen. ‘The thick waxed paper that adds so to the weight of cracker boxes and for which housewives are paying at so much a pound may as well be utilized im some way. It is of great help in the kiteben. ‘The cakes that stick to the pan may safely be intrusted to the lining of this Paper, which will need no grease, as the ordinary white sort does. In Uning the pan, tf the paper is cut so a flap can be brought up nearly to the top on both sides, a cake may be nicely lifted out without danger of breaking. Also where there is a chance that the ‘oven is a little too hot lay a round of the paper on top of the cake until the ‘baking is nearly done, then remove to permit of the proper browning. ‘This same paper if rolled into a corm weopia and fastened with a pin or two to prevent collapse makes as‘good an ‘apparatus with which to drop icing in fancy designs on 2 coke as the real tin pastry tube, with the advantage that the whole thing may be crempled ap WAXED PAPER. ‘The Military Note Sounded = By Shrewd Fashion Designers ye less SN Lp e ; S Sf é ] Wa » | \\ (3 4 ox ‘er fr Se Wh cee NG ; ee ee.

OSTRICH PLUMES FOR AUTUMN HATS These Feathers, Dingied In Many Soe Fal MN HERE are two very strong ar- guments in favor of ostrich as a fashionable trimming for fall, one of which is the unusual demand for large hats early fn the season. Perhaps no other plum- age shows to better advantage on shapes having graceful, wide brims, al- though numbers of small hats are shown employing ostrich. ‘Not a little has been done by ostrich manufacturers to give the market nov- elties, which, while made up of the same fiber as a French plume, the ma- terial is burned and so managed as to entirely disguise It, excepting to an ex- perienced eye, says the Millinery Trade Review. Drenched and glycerined os- trich are features which have been shown marked favor, the first named having a drenched, uncurled appear- ance, while the glycerined ostrich has been treated by a process that gives it @ smooth, glossy surface. Quills and fancy effects are developed of ostrich of this character and very cleverly adorn the new fall models. : From present indications the demand seems to be for fancy effects and French heads, the longer numbers measuring nine, twelve and sixteen inches in length, while the demand for the small tips is fairly good. The last named are made up into bands, which encircle the crown in Indian headdress effect or are used in clus- ters of three. Owing to the fact that fiat as well as high trimmings are in favor, all ap piqued effects are in strong demand, being especially well suited to the wide brims of fall models. Both light and dark tones prevail, especial notice being given to white, tetede-negre, corbeau bine, beige and olive green. One of the most attractive features of this merchandise is the wonderful shaded effects that are shown as well as the color harmony that is produced. The darker shades prevail for street use, while those of lighter coloring are employed for evening wear, among which pink gives good promise. Bronzed and metalized effects are in good demand owing to their harmoniz- ing so well with winter fabrics as well as with the dark fur shades. Use For Old Curtains. If you have a pair of Russian net curtains take the figures from one bor- Ger, fell them on linen at regular in- tervals, join them with narrow scroll cut from the edge of curtain and edge the plece with the lace taken from the front edge of the curtains and you will have a handsome centerpiece for your dining table. .

EDITORIAL COLUMNS. ss BEPrEoTIONs. ‘Now that the amoke of the recent Primary battle has cleared away, we Pause to reflect upon the methods, man mers and measures which were om ployed by the Colored candidates in their efforts to win. In the first and third senatorial disttiets the fight among the Colored aspirants for legis- Iative honors was bitter to @ revolting degree. Vituperation and cheap bil- linagate were the chief instruments em- pleyed. One candidate cansed the printing and circulation of a casteon against his opponent which could be justified only among the most ignorant Hettentots in Africa. Another candi- date, net to be outdone, at the eleventh hour ‘‘sprung’? a card teeming with abuse agsinst the senatorial candidate whose known friendship for and to wards the Colored people is a house- hold word. These and other ‘‘stunta”’ seemed te be the sum total of their ides and knowledge of how to convines the voter of their value and virtue for the office te which. they aspired. In beth cases it proved to be 2 vic- lent imsalt to the intelligence of the rank and file of the Colored voters and a ‘fitting rebuke was administered by the thinking class when they regis- teted their protest at the primary elec tien. ’ ‘The Broad Ax stands today as it always has stood, for the elevation of the intelligent members of the race to places of homer and trust. We do not think, however, that the so-called superior race can find much to praise im our political conduct towards each other im the blind and ignorant sctam- ble fer office. We need safe and sound leaders im ail lines of endeavor, but to obtain satisfactory results and com- mand respect from all classes, that lesdership mast be of the type abeve the groveling and gutter-snipe order. ‘The sooner the lesson of dignity’ and honorable eenduct, in no matter what undertaking, is learned, the sooner will leaders and followers alike command and receive the respect and co-opera tion of the citizens of every race dwelling within our borders. THE ODD FELLOWS AT BOSTON. Reports which have come to us from those who were on the ground regard- ing the 17th B. M. °C. at Boston “are not ealenlated to impress us that dig- nity and déeorum in its deliberations were to any great degree exemplified. We are advised reliably that bediam and cheap polities of the ‘‘back alley type’? played = large part in carrying out the plans of those in power. In- stead of orderly and dignified proceed- ings as might be expected, and ft- tingly beceming men who presumed to represent the highest intelligence of the order, the whole week was con sumed in 2 yulgar scramble for office. ‘This is certainly not to the credit of the Grand United Order of Odd Fel- lows. We doubt not that the effete ‘and caltured folks of Boston have been left with-a bad taste in their cultured ‘mouths 28 aresult of the mecting. _ The high-handed methods to which ‘those im authority resorted in carrying out their plans, if our information ap- proaches anywhere near right, cannot help bet widen, rather than breach, the chasm which has long since been evident among Colored Odd Fellows in this country. The situation is a 10 ne a Doasted strength and whieh organ ef the order so persistently and loedlly’ proclaims.

M B. conference during the pest week, is a farsighted reverend gentle man. He ne doubt, like v0 many of us, realize that the Institutions! Church is ou ite last legs, and like the racing deor, is doomed te kill itself. In ender te make its death an assurity, be be nevolently reappointed the Rev. Archi: bala James Carey, PhD. D.D., to the pastorate and wardenship of this fast ebbing charge. New that our noted po litical preaching pastor has again been returned, we will not be surprised any day to hear the sad news that the hand-full of members, to which, under his gifted(f) leadership it has beer reduced, have ‘‘given up the ghost” and linked their fortunes with some ether church where the minister is not the minion of easy money. BEV. PROF. ALONZO J. BOWLING, aM. Some one hes said that the Rev Pref. Alonzo J. Bowling, A.M, whe claims to be a graduate from four oF five colleges, is so stupid that he is un- able to hold down a little job in the City Hall whieh only pays seventy dol lars per month; that this eminent and highly distinguished Rev. Prof. bas cast his lot and future with the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, PhD. DD, and that he will transform the present political pastor of Institutional Church into a first class saint or bright shining angel. It is an old saying that ‘birds of the same feathers or plumage will al ways flock together.’” READ THE WHITE MAN'S PAPER. A complaint eame to our offiee the other day, in the form of a pamphlet from Afro-Americans, claiming that the White press gave such seant con: sideration through their columns to the Colored people. We do not agree with the complain: ants. Do not the White papers devote columns after columns with big box car head lines (on front page, too), to tell of any bad crime committed by 2 Colored man, or the number of, and manner in which, Colored men, women and children are lynched by White mobs, consisting for the most part ‘‘of the town’s best citizens’? (Investiga. tions have proven that in a number of cases that the victims were inno cent). Then there are the articles ix whieh the Colored man is referred tc as ‘a. big, black, burly Negro,” nc matter what type of man he is Others call him by such ‘names as “Nigger,” “coon,” ete, and the women by such horrid names as <‘wenches,”” ‘‘Negresses,”’ etc. How many have heard the White women re- ferred to as ‘*Cancasianesses’’? What more consideration and pub- licity does the Colored mam expect tc get from the White press? Dees he expect the White press to tell of his wonderful progress since freedom’ Does he expect it to tell of the wealth aecumulated by 2 number of Colored People? Does be expect it to tell of his fine homes, besutifol church edi fices throughout the country, of hi schools, business enterprises, societies civic organizations, ete., ete. In the language of ‘‘slang,’’ NOT MucH! ‘The average daily paper is in league with the southern White man to keep the Negro down by painting him just as black as possible; but nevertheless the Black man must read the White man’s paper, for it is a well known fact that the Colored man has 2 num ber. of White frienda throughout the country who has courage and influence enough to get an article in the paper occasionally which tells the trath about the part the Colored man is playing i the world’s progress, about his great achievement along all lines of progress ‘The White man reads the Colored pa pers in order to keep in touch with what the Colored man is doing.

The following recipe may be used.” says the United States department of agriculture: “Remove skins from peaches by im- mersing in boiling water for about one minute and then dipping in cold water. Place whole peaches in glass jars or tins and fill jars with hot water. Place rubber and top in place and sterilize for fifteen minutes in bot water bath outfits, twelve minutes in water seal, ten minutes at five pounds steam pres- sure or five minutes at ten pounds ‘Steam pressure. “Of course the peaches when remov- ed from the jar will not taste so sweet ‘as those canned in sirup. However, if sweetening is desired it may be added when the fruit is to be eaten. “This same method 1s good for can- ning with siraps containing varying amounts of sugar. A very thin sirup may be used if the housewife does not wish to dispense entirely with the sumir. “Apples may also be canned (for ap ple sauce. ple Giling, ete), using plain water tntead of a sugar sirup. De partment specialists have repeatedly canned them by this method. - In the case of apples jars should be sterilized sixteen minutes in hot water bath out- fit. twalve minutes in water seal. ten minutes nnder five pounds of steam and fonr minutes under ten pounds of steam.” De ere ence Sater rene Tee In the operation of canning and pre serving. ax in almost every other func- tion of housekeeping, the “getting ready” is the most important part and should be begun far in advance of the actual canning day. Some notes made last season will give knowledge as to when fruits and vegetables are to be expected. so that time and provision may be made for them. As the various cans and ginsses have been emptied, if they have been washed and covers carefully fitted before putting away. much annoyance and expense will be spared. If the appetites of the family have been observed it will not be ad: visable to put up taueb of the unpopu- lar varieties.

Plenty of paraffin, te- dels. cloths for wiping and bandling utensils and the labors of the presery- ing season will not plunge you into nervous prostration. @teus Per Cveservina, Preserves are made by cooking whote fruits or sections in a dense strap. ‘Thos they keep in shape and absorb sugar, becoming semitransparent. The usual proportion of sugar to fruit ts about ' lke that for jellies—equal weights or measures, “pound for pound.” Usually a sirup is made with the sugar and a little water or fruit juice, and only as much frutt as will cover the surface of the sirup ts put in at one time. If we attempt to put in more the pleces lose their shape. and the result is a sort of marmalade. When = few pieces are done they may be taken out of the sirup with a skimmer and put In a jar and more fratt put into the sirup.

But they are not as satisfactory for constant use as the canned fruits, when a much smaller proportion of sugar, or none at all. is put with the fruit while cooking.

Nosalads or meats are required, and often a hostess confines herself to the custom of serving hot toasted and buttered English muffins with the tea Sweet cakes are not good with tea; neither is fruit of any sort. The sim- pler the fare the better may be the rule. Invitations are tnformal—fust a call ‘over the telephone or a line to ask friends to come up for a “eup of tea” at 5 o'clock such a day. Deference to the Elderly. ‘The pretty deference of youth to age fs less in evidence these days than im former years, yet it is always an evidence of gentle birth and breeding to be mindful ef the homage that should be paid to those older in years and wisdom. ‘A man presents his young friends to his mother, then to his father; a bus- dand presents his men friends to his father and mother first if they: are present, as a matter of courtesy to the aged, and next to his wife. When te Rise. ‘The hostess always rises for an in- troduction unless ‘she is much older than those whom she is receiving. A man must always rise for an intro- duction. Under ordinary circumstances a woman need not rise for aa introduc- tion to either a man or a woman unless the pérson introduced is mmuch older than berself or is particularly distin- guished. In such & case it would be correct for her to show deference by rising.

The new silhouette is striking. Glance at the fall gown pictured here if you wish to know how it differs from those it is superseding. You will observe that there is a decided flare to the tunic, which is open in the front. The skirt was of dark blue velvet. Dark blue taffeta was used for the two tiered tunic and combined with velvet for the bodice. The collar and vest were of white organdle. Dyeing Rugs or Carpets. Cheap faded rugs and carpets that are not too badly worn should be dyed all over. To do this successfully it is first necessary to scrub the rug, then rinse it. Mix the dye and keep it well stirred in the vessel, so that the color will be even. While the rug is still wet apply the dye with a clean whitewash brush. It colors evenly this way. If the rug is dyed on the floor place a great many newspapers under it to absorb the moisture. It should be thrown double over a line to dry or else allowed to dry on the floor. It will shrink slightly. For a cotton rug which turns a dirty white use such colors as dark green, mahogany, red and delft blue. Jute rugs may be dyed in a similar manner, but the dye in this case should be applied to the dry rug. The Skyscraper Hat There is nothing startling in the height of trimmings applied to fall and THE NEW VELVET TURRAN. winter millinery. The hat shown here is of black velvet with a novel decoration of coque. Cuffs Grow in Size. Cuffs are reaching a starling size, some of them almost touching the elbow. Young women are wearing with their fall street frocks of dark serge or worsted and mohair mixture hem-stitched organdle collars with deep cuffs to match, and the effect is exceedingly smart if the accessories are freproachably fresh and crisp. Only a tall, slender woman, however, should wear the very deep cuffs of white fabric on a dark costume. On a short, plump woman these conspicuous cuffs give an effect which is not smart, but heavy and faintistic. The woman who desires to look smart and correct at the season's commencement is fastidious about her gloves and boots. Gloves with rather wide stitching on the back are liked just now, and white gloves should not be worn before 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Buttoned boots with curved heels and tops of contrasting kid are fashion's choice for town wear. Daughter of the Late Marshall Field Equips British Hospital Ship. LADY DAVID BEATTY Lady David Beatty, wife of the British rear admiral whose fleet was in the recent fight with the Germans off Helgoland, has equipped her yacht Sheelah as a hospital ship and offered it for use to the English government. She herself will accompany the ship to whatever base the admiralty appoints for it. Lady Beatty was formerly Miss Ethel Marshall Field, only daughter of the Chicago millionaire dry goods merchant. Before she was out of her teens she married Arthur Tree of London. The Trees separated and in 1901 she married Captain David Beatty, known as the handsomest officer in the British navy. Admiral Beatty won promotion to the rank of commander for gallant service with the Nile boats in 1898. He was made captain for services in China in 1900 and reached flag rank at the age of thirty-nine. He was given the rank of rear admiral in 1910. The social career of Lady Beatty has been no less distinguished. In the highlands they rented a magnificent estate with famous game preserves, where they came into close touch with the royal family, which always maintains neighborly relations with the occupants of the great estate adjoining their castle. The Beattys have a town house at Regent's park, London, and a country estate, Brooksby湖, Leicester. The yacht Sheelah is a magnificent one. Yachting and hunting are two favorite recreations with Lady Beatty. AUTUMN NECKWEAR. Organic Collars and Cuffs Handsome- ly Decorated With Hempstitching. by Decorated With Hemstitching. The double organelle collars so fashionable last spring have given place to hemstitched models and, naturally, hemstitched accessories are a bit more expensive than the other sort in which two pieces of fabric were seamed together and turned over. A very smart collar turns over in two sections from a high neckband, and each section has two rows of hemstitching all around. Inside the hemstitching are small hand embroidered dots. Another collar, imported before the war started, is a flare model, opening rather low at the front in a V. From the V, turn back long, narrow revers which flare outward over the lapels of the coat. Collar, chemisette and revers are of white organdle, with an inch and a half hem of white handkerchief, linen set on with hemstitching. Still another imported collar of handkerchief linen is decorated with hemstitching and drawn work. This surprising collar rises close and high about the throat like the stock of several seasons ago. Two drawn work flaps turn down over the collar, and at the front is a tie of the linen plaited into narrow width and having sharply pointed ends decorated with the drawn work. This bit of neckwear is entirely new and is said to presage a return to high, stock collar effects. BOHEMIAN OUTLINE Decorative Stitch For Embellishing Gowns, Blouses and Negligee. BOHEMIAN outlining in fancy work is nothing more or less than the use of the threaded run stitch. Two threads are used, which may either be of contrasting color or two shades of one color. The lines of the pattern are covered with a running stitch of one shade, taking a short stitch underneath and a longer one on top. The other thread is simply slipped over and under each stitch, producing a rope effect. This stitch makes a decorative outline and is very effective on crapes, volle or crepe de chine. Organdie Waistcoats Waistcoats there are galore and daily vestes to insert in surplice bodices of silk with the fall and winter tailleur. The very newest vestes is of organdle, puffed crosswise in what is called the "Victorian" effect, for in the early Victorian period puffs were the craza. Some of these puffed waistcoats have little buttons of dark silk or velvet down the front, but these are only for ornament, the real closing being made with snap fasteners underneath. These puffed, organdle waistcoats are charming with blouses or basque costumes of striped pusy willow silk or of satin. But the smartly tailored street suit looks best with a more manish waistcoat of heavy silk or of white silk. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, SEPTEMBER 26, 1914 MILITARY COSTUMES. Dashing Mantles and Cape Suits a la Mode. ```markdown ``` BLUE SERGE CAPE COSTUME What is new in fashions is the attempt to introduce a military style into feminine costumes. There is the military mantle now being worn, giving a martial look to more than one young woman when seen at a little distance, especially if she happens to be tall, which many Frenchwomen are at the present day. The officer's cloak is worn well off the shoulders, having in this respect something of the effect of a manteau de cour. Beneath shows a corsage or fillet adorned with brandebourgés a is hussard. The military cape suit pictured here is of copenhagen blue serge, with a high turned over collar and front wrist effect. Worn with it are a plaited tunic and a plain skirt. A wide rimmed hat of blue velvet, with a white flower drooping over the upturned side, accompanied it. LINGERIE RIBBONS. A Dainty Case Designed For Their Safe Keeping. Keeping the ribbons from the lingerie fresh is a problem for every woman. When the ribbons are taken out while the garment goes to the laundry they are very apt to be mislaid and almost certain to be crushed and tangled. To obviate these difficulties a very pretty case may be made which is a charming little gift. Cut any handkerchief in half, hem the cut edge and fold it over within two inches of the border. This forms a baglike space which should be divided into four or five compartments made by stitching from the hemmed edge to the folded edge. Into these pockets fit strips of cardboard wound with lingerie ribbons. Leave an inch wide margin before you begin the pockets and stitch a ribbon on the back or at one end. When the case is finished and filled roll it up like a needlecase or shoe and wrap and tie with the ribbon. Whenever the ribbons are removed from the clothes they should be wound around the cardboards and that will keep them fresh and firm. This makes an attractive and useful gift at very little cost. Long Coats Are Smart The long, tight fitting coat, very full at the hem, has come in. This type of coat is very much in evidence. Its advent marks a distinct change of the line, and for that reason it cannot be treated lightly. At the present moment the leading tailors are making these long coats in linen and shantung, and fashionable people are accepting the change with enthusiasm. HOUSEHOLD HELPS. A three minute glass (the kind used in the kitchen when cooking) will be found an excellent timepiece when doing long distance telephoning, as it allows three minutes only. Vinegar placed in a bottle of dried up glue will moisten and make it liquid again. Blankets which are not in use should have small pieces of thoroughly dried yellow soap scattered in the folds when they are put away. This keeps moths out. Stale breadcrumbs mixed with a trifle of washing blue can be used for cleaning embossed velvet. A piece of white flannel should be used for applying the breadcrumbs, which will finally require brushing off with a clean, soft whisk. To store silver place in a cardboard box a layer of ordinary flour, then lay the forks and spoons upon it and cover thickly with flour. They will remain quite bright for any length of time. Always rub leather chairs over from time to time with a very little fresh milk applied with a soft, clean linen rag, rubbing the milk off lightly at once. This prevents the surface from drying and cracking. Should the surface be rubbed off apply a good leather restorer.

This world is an iron ring on which every one cuts his eyeteeth. Lend to one who won't repay, and you will provoke his dislike. We hope that the affair in Europe will not go into extra innings. Stand up for your rights if you expect others to take a back seat. Many a man puts his foot in it when he asks a woman for her hand. They who pine in their youth can never look spruce in their old age. War is a most expensive luxury, and it is not much of a luxury at that. When a man hasn't got much sense he thinks a quarrel is an argument. How are the movies going to present a 250 mile battle front in three reels? Solomon would have drawn the color line at painting towns red and feeling blue. After all, we can get along pretty well without either perfumes or absinth. Many a man can tell right from left who doesn't seem to know right from wrong. There is no lack of German, French and English dyes on the battlefields of Europe. The gift of gab generally demonstrates that it takes a wise man to say nothing. War makes no distinction between the rights of men and the rights of property.

It looked dignified to have his name as counselor at law painted on the door. Besides, it provided a haven whither he and his listeners could repair when the rain drove them from the sidewalk in front of the Snedecor House, and as a forum for the continuation of the judge's oral memoirs of the war. To allow a reasonable time for dinner, the judge thought it well to advertise the fact that he would not be in from 10 o'clock to 1. So he sent Jim down to add this information to the painted legend on the door. Jim did it this way: JUDGE MUSGROVE, Counselor at Law. Ten to One He Isn't In. —New York Post. The Weight of Thine Acts.

The then Lord Wilton, for various reasons, had gained the title among his tenancy of "The Wicked Earl!" in fact, few of the country people ever called him anything else. One Sunday Lady Cardigan and Lady Wilton went to church, unaccompanied by his lordship, who usually was a very regular attendant. Lady Cardigan saw the verger look at them curiously as they entered the church. and he evidently noticed that Lord Wilton was not with them, but she was scarcely prepared for what followed. It was the custom in the church to begin the service only after Lord Wilton and his party had arrived, but a new clergyman who was conducting the service that day was not aware of this, and he duly commenced: "When the wicked man"— "He's not come yet!" the verger promptly interrupted in an agitated whisper—Pearson's. One of the crop of stories that came from West Point with the last graduating class was the remark of a cadet who was precious near to failure in one of his studies.
