HE SUGGESTED TO HIS COLORED D TO MAKE THEIR NEWSPAPE WHITE MEN MUST READ THE THEMSELVES OF THE MANY COLORED RACE IN THE UNIT At the recent seventh annual meeting of the National Independent Equal Rights League which was held in New York City, Dr. J. E. Spingarn, Chairman of the board of directors of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, spoke in part as follows: "I am very glad to be present tonight at a gathering organized to fight for the rights of Colored people by Colored people. Dr. Spingarn's Vision. "So much so that when I read in the Guardian that I had been invited to speak here, I wrote to your President asking why I had never received the invitation. For I have some things which I wish very much to say to such a gathering, not because I have any ready-made speech for you, but because in these days of battle and world disorder I have had a vision, and I wished to present my vision to you and appeal to you to make the vision come true. Day by day as the world changes that this world struggle portend unfold before us, we see new rights promised to proscribed peoples. First it was Ireland, before the war; then it was Finland and Poland; then it was the Jews of Russia. The White Czar needs the help of Finns and Poles and Jews now, and his necessity is their opportunity. Colored Need a General Staff of Their Own. "And when I thought of all the changes that would come before this world struggle is over, and the wonderful new spirit that would come over us all, I wondered if the Colored people were getting ready to take advantage of this marvelous opportunity, whether their General Staff (as it were) was preparing the line of offense and defense for them, and whether they had leaders and statesmen wise and far-seeing enough to win moral battles for them too, when the time was ripe. Colored Leaders Should be Ready. "It may be that America will mediate between the warring nations of Europe, saying to England, 'Ireland must be free,' and to Germany, 'Alsace and Lorraine must be free,' and to Russia, 'Finn and Pole and Jew must be free,' and will the Colored people be marshalled then to ask their questions, ready to say: 'Here at home, shall not the American Negro be free too!'" Have Leads for the Opportunity. "Rise out of your torpor and apathy, black men and women; brush aside leaders who cannot or will not use this opportunity to win for you your freedom; and choose new leaders, if need be, who dare and know how, in this new world-epoch, to win your rights for you before all the world! Tired of the Compromising Colored Leaders. "I am tired unto death of hearing some of your leaders repeat that you have bothered too much about rights and too little about duties. This sharp distinction between rights and duties HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAX is an illusion; for how can you perform any duty without its corresponding privileges? How can you perform the duties of a citizen for example, unless you have the right to perform them? No, we believe in the rights of all men, and by "rights" we mean that combination of privilege and obligation which makes up the rounded life of citizens and of men. Fight Your Own Battles. "I am tired, too, of the philanthropy of rich White men toward your race. I want to see you fight your own battles, with your own leaders and your own money. I want to see you have vigilance committees in every city or village where your rights are endangered. I want to see you have an organization in every congressional district, which shall make sure that only men who are with you in your fight (regardless of their party), shall be elected to Congress. "I want to see you wage a new battle for the enforcement of the 14th Amendment, or, if that amendment will no longer hold water, I want to see you win a new and more effective 18th Amendment to the Constitution. I want to see you insist on a just publicity for your aims and ambitions, hammering at the White newspapers until they hear you, but in the meanwhile making your own papers so good that White men must read them." Not Children, but Men. "In a word, I want to see you not children but men, waging the eternal struggle that all sons of women must fight, if they would win for themselves 'a place in the sun.'" "Thank God, here in America the weapons can still be reason and conscience; and dark will be the day when American reason and American conscience will no longer listen to the pleas and struggles of those who in our own midst are fighting for their rights! THE NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE BROAD AX. The Nineteenth Anniversary edition of the Chicago Broad Ax was a great newspaper triumph for its aggressive editor and publisher, Mr. Julius F. Taylor. Its general make up denoted that it was the work of a master printer, and aside from this distinction, it had evidences innumerable of the excellence of a publication the equal of any. It was printed on fine Aberdeen book paper, carried spicy editorials, health notes, society news, and contained the pictures of many of Chicago's most prominent and influential citizens. Never forgetting his sweet faced and venerable mother, Mrs. Mary-Ann Taylor Dixon, of Harrisburg, Pa., Editor Taylor also gave the thousands who perused the Nineteenth Anniversary edition of The Broad Ax an opportunity of seeing a very good likeness of her.—The Pioneer Press, Martinsburg, West Va., October 3, 1914. Thanks! Brother Clifford, thanks!- Editor. CHICAGO, OCTOBER 10, 1914 72 HON. SAMUEL A. ETTELSON. Prominent leader of the Republican party and candidate for State Senator from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois. Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson is a native of the city of Chicago, and was born on November 19, 1874, having resided in it since his birth. He was graduated from the West Division High School in 1892, and attended Harvard College for one year. For three years, commencing in January, 1894, he was employed during the day in the City Public Library, and being of a studious nature, taught school at night and studied law. He graduated from the Chicago College of Law in 1897, and has achieved success in his profession, having been connected with some noteworthy litigation. He is a member of the law firm of Schuyler, Ettelson & Weinfeld. Mr. Ettelson is a strong Republican, having cast his first vote for William McKinley for President. He became interested in politics in 1904, and was elected a precinct captain. As the nominee of the Republican party in 1906, he was elected State Senator from the third Senatorial District the price of school books, and which affected every family in the State of Illinois whose children attend the public schools. He was the author of a bill which authorized the Park Commissioners to acquire submerged lands, and made possible the recent contract between the South Side Park Commission and the Illinois Central Railroad to beautify the lake front and the building of the Field Museum in Grant Park. He succeeded in having a referendum clause attached to the bill which provided for bond issues in the city of Chicago, thus giving the people the right to vote on the propriety and necessity of the issuance of bonds. He was an ardent advocate of the Woman's Ten Hour Law, the Anti-White Slave Law, the Occupational Disease Law, the Direct Primary Act. He procured the passage of the law which gave to the Seventh and Eighth Regiments in the city of Chicago appropriations for the construction of armories. In the Forty-fifth General Assembly he was made chairman of the committee on parks and boulevards, and also a member of many of the important committees, during that session of the Legislature. In 1910 he was an independent candidate for re-election to the Senate at the primaries, and succeeded in that campaign in defeating the party candidate against him. In both the Forty-sixth and Forty-seventh General Assemblies, he was appointed to the most important committees in the Senate, chief of which was the Steering Committee. Mr. Ettelson was one of those who reorganized the Senate and succeeded in overthrowing the notorious "Senate Combine." He fathered many important state measures in the interests of the people, among which was a bill that compelled the State Treasurer to pay all interest moneys into the State Treasury, thereby securing for the State an actual income of $200,000 a year. He was the author of the State Text Book Law, which materially reduced ABISTOTLE ON WOMAN'S SUP FRAGE. “But what difference does it make whether women rule, or the rulers are ruled by women? The result is the same.” So wrote Aristotle in his “Politics,” about 2200 years ago, and here we have been deceiving ourselves into thinking that woman suffrage and the whole question of women taking part in the government is modern, whereas the Greek philosopher's discussion proves that it agitated society long before Christ. It is worth noting that Aristotle did not admit the possibility of any arrangement whereby women would not have an influence on affairs, the price of school books, and which affected every family in the State of Illinois whose children attend the public schools. He was the author of a bill which authorized the Park Commissioners to acquire submerged lands, and made possible the recent contract between the South Side Park Commission and the Illinois Central Railroad to beautify the lake front and the building of the Field Museum in Grant Park. He succeeded in having a referendum clause attached to the bill which provided for bond issues in the city of Chicago, thus giving the people the right to vote on the propriety and necessity of the issuance of bonds. He was an ardent advocate of the Woman's Ten Hour Law, the Anti-White Slave Law, the Occupational Disease Law, the Direct Primary Act. He procured the passage of the law which gave to the Seventh and Eighth Regiments in the city of Chicago appropriations for the construction of armories. He was the author of a law which procured increased allowances for dependent girls in industrial schools; and also of a law which increased the assistants to the State Factory inspector for the benefit of inspection into the sanitation and public health of all places of employment. He procured the passage of the act which increased the number of judges in the Superior Court of Cook County. He introduced the bill which provided for the construction of subways in Chicago, and also for a separate ballot for the judiciary. He was the author of the bill to create a Public Service Commission. Mr. Ettelson is a member of the Hamilton, the New Illinois Athletic, the Metropolitan Clubs and the Players' Club. As he has been classed as one of the fathers of the Eighth Regiment, it is almost useless to state that the great majority of Afro-Americans residing in the 3rd Senatorial District will assist to put him over at the election, Tuesday, November 3, and reland him in the state senate at Springfield, Illinois. of being the actual rulers in fact. In his opinion, they will either rule directly, or rule the rulers, and "what difference does it make?" What! indeed. Perhaps our suffragist friends will tell us.—St. Paul Dispatch. Mrs. W. W. Bradley, the dutiful wife of Dr. W. W. Bradley, 3849 S. State Street, who is ever ready to assist her husband to relieve his patients of their suffering or severe injuries. If the Dr. happens to be absent she will give first aid to those seeking medical attention and all in all she is of great assistance to him along professional lines and a great credit to Afro-American womanhood.

It will be recalled that it was stated in these columns August 29th to the effect that "the Democrats in this neck of the woods had better stop fighting and wrangling among themselves like so many mad dogs and cats, that is, if they expected to prevent the Republicans from rushing in and capturing all the offices in Cook County and throughout the state of Illinois." It seems that our words of sound wisdom or advice sank down deep into the hearts of the big chiefs or bosses of the party of Thomas Jefferson and ever since that date, August 29th, they have been getting closer and closer together and at the first meeting of the County committee recently it was a grand sight to behold the Hon. John McGillen and the Hon. A. J. Sabath hugging and kissing each other like two sweet loving ladies. At the second meeting of the County committee on Wednesday the followers of Mayor Carter H. Harrison, Roger C. Sullivan, the Hon. Edward F. Dunne and the Hon. William L.

But there is a limit to alf things, and the Person who wantonly attacks your friends is guilty of a gross breach of good manners, to say the least. An expression of personal opinion may be forgiven, because every one has a right to it, but no one bas a right to thrust bis opinions upon others at every op- portunity. In all good society discussion of polities, religion and other such sub- pects is forbidden by general consent. It has almost come to the point that the present war is not to be talked about except among friends, as in a general gathering there are certain to be persons who would feel strongly ‘upon the subject of his own particular country. ‘There are several things to be re- membered, one of them that very little 1s known as to what is really bappen- ‘ing in the war zones, and another that each country involved in the war bas an opinion as to the cause of it that is entirely different from that of every other country. The only subject upon which all are united is that the situa- tion is deplorable in whatever light it ts viewed and that it cannot be made any better by unwise discussion. The very fact that each person feels so strongly about it is evidence that ft is not a xafe subject for conversa- tion and that good taste will put it among those not to be discussed except among friends who understand one an- other well enough to forgive any ex- travagant expressions of opinion. ‘The Correct Introduction.- In the case of introductions nothing can be more simple or more correct than the form of “Miss A., let me in- troduce Mr. B..” and still this is en- tirely the proper thing. The form, however. means that the lady must permit the man to be introduced to her, not she presented to him. This should appeal to the sense of propriety in any one, it would appear, if a mo- ment's thought is given to the matter at all. The younger should always be pre- sented to the elder. except in the case of a young lady and an elderly man. Should the man, however, be promi- nent in any way it is entirely correct to present a young lady to him, saying. “Mr. Blank, | want you to know my friend Miss F.” It is the very simplest thing to re- member that an unmarried woman is Presented to the married one, a very young girl to any ladies that are older, @ man to his hostess and also in such a case to his host, whether the latter be the elder or not, just because he is the one who is entertaining. Wedding Invitations. ‘If you are invited to the church func- tion only you need not reply to the invitation.

Cards to a church wedding followed by a reception need no written answer if you purpose to attend. Your presence will serve as ‘an acceptance. If you are unable to attend you should acknowledge the in- vitation by posting the day of the mar- riage two visiting cards addressed to the bride's parents. If you are invited to witness merely the church ceremony and have only the most formal acquaintance with the bride or groom it is not necessary for you to send a gift However, it would be perfectly proper for you to do so if you feel so inclined. The gift may be sent within two or three weeks of the day set for the marriage. If You Play Tennis or Golf— Don't Girt all the time.

This coat has raglan sleeves gathered into wide cuffs and a fare collar that may be turned ap or down. SCHOOL SHOES. ‘The College Girl Must Be Well Shod and Supplied With Ample Footwear. For footwear the college girl will re- quire heavy soled tramping boots of tan calf, two pairs of buttoned boots. one pair having tops of contrasting material in dressy style, one pair of evening slippers to match ber evening frock and a pair of smart black pumps for wear on ordinary evenings with the dinner costume. It is better to provide buttoned boots than pumps for day wear with all cos- tumes, for the little freshman will be apt to dash out of doors in all sorts of weather, perfectly regardless of her foot covering. Sometimes the uncarpeted floors and the balls of a large school or college building are drafty also, and the but- toned boots offer more protection to the ankles. Besides these items of footwear, the various shoes for athletic sports must be included in the list. Cossack Coats. Some of the new models shown trom Paris are of the Cossack coat effects, resembling closely in cut those long coats the Russian cavalrymen wear. They are strikingly attractive. Many women are ordering these for walking and riding or shopping and luncheon effects. A three-quarter walking coat with large fur collar Is another model trom Paris. Loofah Mops.

On sports skirts there are flat patch pockets. On some of the new plaited skirts small pockets are stitebed over the plaits, and pockets are occasionally applied on skirt with smooth fitting yokes. Then there are the looped pockets on some of the new skirts, finished along the top with a little embroidery or braiding. The skirt illustrated here is of dark blue or black serge, closely box plaited. A deep crush girdle of black satin may be worn with black serge or of blue satin if the skirt is of blue serge. THE MILITARY INFLUENCE. Predominates Even in Children’s Fall and Winter Fashion.

Rugs and carpets should have been carefully beaten, cleansed. treated with turpentine or camphor and rolled on a wooden pole in the spring. Then, with careful airing and sunning, they will be ready for use in the fall. ‘The cotton and grass rugs which have been in use all summer may take their place in the attic, first being roll- ed on the wooden poles made vacant by their predecessors of heavier fabric. Before laying away furniture covers they should be carefully gone over and mended, and they, too, should have ail spots removed. Fashionable Colors. Brilliant tango colors to material are not now in good style. The soft, almost dull shades are to be featured for street and evening wear, and the beauty of the costumes is to be cen- tered in the rich trimming with which ‘they are adorned. | ON WHAT DAY WERE YOU BORN? | There is = very old rime that forecasts the character or the ; fate of every babe according to | the day of the week on which it | happened to be born. Need it be said that, as in an- | other case. “Sunday's the best day of all? r Born on a Monday, _ Fair of face: Borg on a Tuesday, orn on a Wetineaday = a 2 Marty and sind: on « Thursday, ‘Sour and sad: / Born on a Priday, Loving and giving; Pree, Born ona Sanday, Never shall want : Go there's the week ; Rome furnishing Classifying the Living Room. ‘There is usually only one living room in the smaller priced apartments or houses. Besides the dining room, kiteb- en, bath and bedrooms there Is only this one room of indefinite character which can be furnished at will as a Ubrary. music room, den. study or a plain parlor. Its future destination ts left to the judgment of the owner. ‘Any one of the above named charac- ters may be given this general room. For instance, if the young housekeeper 4s musica] and owns a piano the room at once should be classified as a music room. If there are a good many books belonging to members of the family the room takes on the character of a Mbrary. If there are a handsome writ- ing desk and a writer in the family it may serve to make the room a study. More often, however, this one room 4s a sort of general living room with- out any definite character, just a place of comfort and cleanliness where the family assemble after dinner for a period of rest and pleasure. In the latter ease comfort is the thing to be considered, and following close upon its heels is prettiness, for it ts almost impossible to be perfectly comfortable in an ugly room. It is not necessary for the young housekeeper to spend a great deal of money in pur- sult of either comfort or prettiness. ‘The daintiest kind of rooms are those furnished in wicker or reed and chints or cretonne. Double Use For Dining Rooms. A certain custom that is much in practice abroad in the smaller apart- ments and houses may well be adopted here. Over there whenever the dining room and parlor adjoin they are paper- ed in the same way. Between meals the dining room table is treated as a library table, covered with periodicals, books, pictures, etc. Outside of the usual number of stiff backed dining room chairs there is nothing to sug- gest a place to eat. These stiff backed chairs are placed around between easy chairs. There is perhaps a couch Jaden with cushions, a bookcase, a desk and other furniture usual in the living room. ‘This treatment presents another use- fal room to the family, for, after all, a dining room is practically useless, save for three hours at most during the day. In the foreign way, however, the din- ing room is very often more popular ‘than the formal parlor. This idea may Wall be adopted by the young house- wife who finds herself limited for space. ii it tie ie An unused back stairway, can pe made into two splendid closets, one on each floor, for a comparatively small outlay. Downstairs, opening out of the dining room, a fine preserve closet can be evolved, lining the unused space With dovetailed boards and building in shelves. Sometimes this closet will be big enough to hold a barrel or two or a trunk. If there is a window for this closet all the better. If not a piece of glasacan be put into the panel of the door leading into the dining room or Pantry. ‘On the second floor the space can be utilized for a linen closet. In many houses these two closets will be found more useful than a breakneck stairway which is apt to be selected by the arch- ftect in leu of the closet room moro desired by the average housekeeper. EE ee ey Oe ‘To dye a carpet on the floor, says one housewife, have the desired color of dye boiling hot. Keep it on the stove and use a cup and a narrow paint brush in applying it Paint one stripe, then skip one, then the next; bever two side by side, else the colors will run and there will be no straight edge to the stripes. After these have @ried paint the remaining stripes Weaken the dye for delicate shades. You may make new colors. Blue and yellow make green; blue and red make purple, ete. Try a little and see what colors you obtain. As the dye in the cup cools pour it back and take hot. Don’t try to color dark light It is impossible. A Music Room Convenience. ‘The latest addition to music room equipment is a combination piano bench and music cabinet, recently in- vented. The top of the bench is in three hinged sections, covering three separate compartments arranged for Keeping sheet music in orderly array, says Popular Mechanics. The end Pieces are also hinged and swing away from the bench, allowing ready access to any piece of music desired. It is not even necessary to arise from the bench in order to take out or replace & selection from either of the end com- partments, which are equipped for ver- tical filing. Furniture For Small Rooms. Massive heavy furniture has gone out of date with the vogue of small Tooms, and now the modern housewife tries to give ber apartment a bigger, airier appearance with the aid of dain- ty draperies and light furniture in- stead of the former dark hangings and plush pieces. ‘The young housekeeper can turn out charming room with very little ex- Denditure if she 1s content to stick to wicker and chints.

EDITORIAL COLUMNS NEGRO GOODFELLOWS The columns of the Chicago Tribune has recently teemed with appeals to Goodfellows seeking relief from all to whom the greetings may come in interest of the thousands of poor families in Chicago who are the unfortunate victims of the present seige of hard times. Case after case has been cited with accompanying details of misery and want to which these unfortunate families have been reduced. The Broad Ax has carefully watched these reports with a hope that among the cases one of the numerous Colored families sadly in need of assistance would be brought to the attention of the Goodfellows. We regret to say that no such mention has met our eyes. That there are hundreds and hundreds of Colored families whose distress is as great, if not greater than some of the cases cited by the Tribune, there can be no doubt. It is also manifest to The Broad Ax that from the thousands of responses none of the benefits will gravitate in the direction of the deserving and unfortunate Negroes. Why not then some movement be started to organize Negro Goodfellows for relief along this line? There are thousands of Negro men in this community who could easily spare from twenty-five cents to one dollar per month, properly placed, and wisely handled that would do a world of good among the many suffering families who are, and will continue to feel the pangs of these unusually hard times. Why not the Appomattox Club be sponsor for such a movement? President Hamilton of this institution is far famed for his generosity and ever-willingness to alleviate the suffering of those of the less fortunate. It occurs to us that no movement that could possibly be started at this time would meet with such quick and willing response as a Goodfellow movement among Colored people to assist in keeping the wolf from the door of our less fortunate brethren. We here and now call on the men of our race, young and old, to do something among those of us, who most likely will never be benefited by the widespread movement to organize Goodfellows among the White people, so that it may be seen and felt, that the Negro people are alive to the wants and needs of the poor of their race whose misfortune will never reach the eye or ear of the great movements inaugurated for the benefit of suffering humanity. SLAVERY IN THE PHILIPPINES From the far off Philippine Islands comes the startling story that slavery actual, physical, revolting slavery is practiced in that Archipelago. The Congress at Washington has taken official notice of its existence. On Wednesday of this week when the Philippines Bill come up for discussion the startling charge was made directly by Congressman Cooper that the practice of human bondage was common in that country. His vigorous speech on the subject was followed by the introduction of the following amendment to the Bill "That Slavery shall not exist in the Philippine Islands nor shall involuntary servitude exist therein except as a punishment for crime." We are glad to note that the Amendment was adopted with some dissenting voice and votes from the Bourbon South. An observation on this subject in our opinion is timely. Prior to the occupation of these Islands as a result of the Spanish-American War, no one had ever heard of human slavery in these Islands. With our rule of these unhappy Islands and its inhabitants, we are told, came the typical American prejudice against the darker races. That we boasted civilization, likewise the American White man's damnable prejudice, is responsible for these conditions, we firmly believe. We have only to refer to the wake of prejudice that followed the occupation of Porta Rica, Cuba, and the Hawaiian Islands to justify our contentions. It is indeed a sad contemplation to record that this country, which so persistently flaunts the principles of liberty to the world as its guiding star, acts out, and indeed breathes the lie into its fundamental doctrine, whenever and wherever its rule touches elbow with those of the ebony hue. The Broad Ax takes off its hat to Congressman Cooper and sincerely wishes that his tribe of right thinking and fair dealing Statesmen may increase a hundred fold. HON. PAUL A. HAZARD CAST HIS POLITICAL PORTUNE WITH THE REV. HON. ARCHIBALD JAMES CAREY, PH. D. D. D., AND HE WENT DOWN TO DEFEAT AT THE LATE PRIMARIES. Two or three weeks before the late primaries the Hon. Paul A. Hazard, one of the present trustees of the sanitary district of Chicago and Republican candidate for re-nomination for that same position gave his word and honor to one of the representatives of The Broad Ax to the "effect that inasmuch as the paper stood by him and had treated him fine when he was a candidate in 1908, that he wanted the paper to speak a few good words for him to its thousands of readers. But as time went by it turned out that his word and honor was not worth two whoops in purgatory, for in the meantime he had permitted himself to fall into the hands of several Colored filmmakers or political deadbeats and confidence men even after he had been warned to ease away from them by one of his true Colored friends and they induced him to accompany them on the State street stroll one evening: On the way they frequented several drinking resorts and it is said that when the Hon. Mr. Hazard had finished treating the large gang of tough looking Colored men hanging around in them who promised to vote for him as long as he was engaged in treating them, that he was out almost one hundred dollars. Several times he was childish enough to think that he was raising old need while he was engaged in addressing a lot of Colored men in a gambling club which was located on State street north of 31st street, which had been raided by the police a few weeks before he became hooked up with its shining lights; at each meeting held in those political gambling rooms, free beer, free whiskey, free dice or free gambling and everything else free was on tap. The strangest thing in connection with the Hon. Mr. Hazard in this respect was that he labored under the impression that he was associating or rubbing up against the very best Colored voters in Chicago, whereas he was mixed up with some of the worst roughhouse and strongarm Colored political men in this city for some of them would never hesitate in snatching pennies from the eyes of dead men. The last straw which finally broke the camel's back which contributed to the defeat of the Hon. Mr. Hazard more than anything else was that after the gentlemen, just referred to, had succeeded in successfully throwing some kind of fine dust in his eyes he was run up against the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., who also greatly assisted to work the Hon. Mr. Hazard, he was induced to run his cut and a write up in the Old Church Organ, which had been absolutely dead for almost two years. He felt as proud as a French dancing master when he was called upon to speak at two or three meetings held at the Institutional church for his special benefit and that was his undoing for the decent and highly respectable Colored people will always vote against all candidates, be they Democrats or Republicans, who attempt to bask in the sunshine or keep within the shadow of the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D. LET'S BE NEIGHBORLY How do you like your neighbors? Pretty good people, are they? Keep their premises neat, clean and attractive all the time. Interested in matters that affect the good of the neighborhood and always doing whatever they can to help make things a little better this year than they were last. And now that we are on the subject of neighbors, what do your neighbors think of you? Do they come to you for help and counsel in matters affecting the health, comfort and safety of the community? And when you are thus appealed to, do you respond and in such a way as to convince them that you are with them to a finish in any fight that is being engaged in for community betterment? This is the sort of spirit that should dominate our ideas of good citizenship. It is also the spirit that helps to make us all good neighbors, and the places where we live, good neighborhoods. It is impossible for us to have the things that make for community beauty, health and comfort, unless we have a united effort for the common good. If only we look at things from the view point of community good and all work THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 10, 1914.

And this means of course, that no one citizen can afford to be indifferent to matters that affect his neighbors' surroundings as well as his own. In other words, we must all be good neighbors in order that we may have good neighborhoods. --- It is a fundamental principle of community life that no man may use his premises in a way that works harm to his fellow men. A dirty, badly kept house or yard works damage to adjacent property and lessens its money value always; and sometimes becomes a menace to the health of an entire community. It is because this is true that we have a Sanitary Code and a Department of Health to enforce its provisions against bad neighbors for the protection of those who are doing their best to be good neighbors. Do not forget that it takes something else besides property, that is, just houses and lots, to make up a good neighborhood. It requires that these houses and lots be occupied by good, honest and kindly disposed people; that these people must be cleanly and orderly in their habits and as anxious and willing to protect their 'neighbors' health and comfort as they are their own. If one neighbor does something that wrongs his neighbors, the whole community feels it. If neighbor A has a case of scarlet fever in his home and through his carelessness this dread disease becomes epidemic in his community, he has grievously wronged those whom it should have been his neighborly duty to protect. Is this not true? Think it over. Do not wait until the inspector from the Department of Health tells you to clean up. Beat him to it. Your eyes should be as good as his. THE CO-OPERATIVE STORE COMPANY INCORPORATED FOR $100,000 Well on to one year ago quite a number of Colored business men of this city banded themselves together and launched a new enterprise known as the Great Co-operative Store Company, its officers and directors are as follows: Officers—J. Tipper, Pres; J. J. Stone, first vice-president; B. L. Brown, second vice-president; B. F. Liggins, third vice-president; M. F. Finney, see 'y; Edward Felix, Treas. Directors—B. L. Brown, Edward Felix, Wm. L. Jenkins, J. J. Stone, Wm. M. Brewer, B. F. Liggins, M. F. Finney and O. J. Peterson. One of the first things they attempted to accomplish was to establish a well stocked grocery store at 3630 S. State street, which has been successfully running for some time. As stated before the company is incorporated for $100,000 and so far some thousands of dollars worth of stock has been sold, which sells for $10 per share. Edward Felix, who has ran a store for a number of years, corner of 30th and Federal streets, is the treasurer of the company and he is bonded for $2,000 by the Fidelity and Casualty Company of New York City. With the proper management of this new enterprise conducted by Colored people it should meet with the greatest of success. MEN'S CIVIC CLUB.

The people who suffer from it are of a nervous temperament, and the attacks generally appear at critical times in life's journey or when the sufferer is weakened by illness or depressed by grief or worry or anemic from confining work. Intense fear will bring on palpitation of the heart in almost any one. In some people also it is a symptom of indigestion. Those who are subject to palpitation should avoid overstimulating and straining the nervous system. Tea and coffee are stimulants that do harm in many cases, and alcohol and tobacco are sure to be hurtful. The term "smoker's heart" describes the form of palpitation that tobacco causes. Palpitation of the heart causes distress not only because the beat is so alarmingly rapid, but also because of the irregularity and the thumping force of it. The symptoms vary all the way from a simple feeling of weakness and a fluttering round the heart to a rapid pounding that almost makes the victim fear that the heart is trying to escape from the body. There is also a pronounced throbbing of the arteries. The sufferer must learn that palpitation, although unpleasant, is not dangerous and must be willing to go slowly for a time, to take only moderate exercise and to avoid stimulants and all articles of food that tend to cause fatulent dyspepsia. --- Down Goes the Subscription Price for The Broad Ax.

The quarterly sermon at Bethel A. M. E. church was preached last Sunday afternoon by the pastor of the Hyde Park A. M. E., Rev. W. H. Griffin, many persons who heard him say as often as they have heard him they never heard him preach as he did upon this occasion. Let me say to you my brother and my sister, all we ask is a chance to live, that we might think and by taking advantage of every opportunity, be able to think, quit firing with our future, stop persecuting us because you are stronger and more scientific than we, e'r the day may come when your conduct may be remembered in vain.

Miss Cloete Scott, directress of the Clotee Scott settlement of Hyde Park, has returned from Milwaukee, Wis., where she was threatened with lockjaw from a dislocated tooth —the cold cash must accompany each and every order. This is a splendid chance for bright boys and girls to earn some Christmas money after school hours and on Saturdays by securing subscriptions to The Broad Ax, and in order to prove to them that we mean business we will start them in the newspaper business free of charge if they will call on the writer any evening after five o'clock or communicate by letter or phone Drexel 4590.

THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, OCTOBER 10, 1914. Mr. and Mrs. J. S. Tandy, 5145 Federal street, have both been on the indisposed list the past week, in fact Mr. Tandy has been at home for almost two months, being unable to resume his run on the Northwestern Railroad between Chicago and Omaha.

Clark, as it was exclusively announced in these columns several weeks ago, has severed his connection with the election commissioner's office and he is now one of the clerks in the civil branch of the Municipal court. Chief clerk William H. Stuart and all of his assistants in the Election Commissioner's office, both men and women, very much regretted to have Mr. Clark to absent himself from that office for he stood high in their estimation, owing to his manly and straight forward conduct. Mayor Carter H. Harrison must be given the credit for displaying considerable wisdom or sound judgment in selecting Mr. John W. Beckwith to succeed William H. Sexton as corporation counsel of Chicago. Mr. Beckwith is an able lawyer and eminently qualified in very way to discharge all the duties in connection with that office. Mr. Sexton will again become a member of the law firm of Tolman, Redfield, Sexton and Chandler, with law offices on the thirteenth floor of the Stock Exchange Building.

There seem to be more blockheads in the world than wooden legs. What the world still seems to need is a soft drink that people don't tire of. Though haste is not always advisable, it is preferable to procrastination. A tax on war talk would produce enough revenue to pay the national debt. If fewer persons lived in glass houses there would be less fun in throwing stones. All very well for Europe to wipe out old scores, but she is running up some new ones.

A skeptic is merely a person who doesn't share the good opinion you have of yourself. We should never be too anxious to see ourselves as others see us. It might hurt our feelings.

The longer you live the more you become convinced that Noah had more than two jackasses in the ark. Perhaps, however, what that chap who said it meant was that truth is stranger to some people than fiction. After Europe has had enough of famous victories it will stop awhile and consider what it is fighting for. The world's supply of lead may be short, but the fact remains that, even at that, it seems to be entirely too big. Still it may be worth something to reflect that $100,000,000 in war taxes would only run Europe's war two days. There may be such a thing as civilized warfare, but the reports received up to date do not aid us particularly in locating it. One of the most cheering of sights during this raging war is that of Uncle Sam smilingly signing peace treaties with all comers.

Perceval's den in Burkeley hall was hung with the usual conglomerate collection of trifles on which college youths pride themselves. Strangely enough, however, though otherwise complete, it lacked one of the essentials—indeed, a vital essential—of a student's room decorations. There were no photographs. The other fellows had pictures of girls in evening gowns, girls in street costume, girls in golf garb, girls on horseback, girls afoot-always girls. But not a girl's picture adorned Perceval's den except one lonely small miniature, and that stood far withdrawn, hidden on the back of his desk. Randolph Chase hauled it out on one occasion before Perceval could reach him with a detaining hand. "What a queer little girl!" Randolph said. "Put it back," Perceval said shortly, his face afame. But the other fellows crowded behind Randolph and looked at the picture over his shoulder. "Such a mop of hair and such a little face!" said one of them. "Put it back!" Perceval's tone rasped with irritation. "Put it back, Randolph!" Randolph, after one glance at the younger man's countenance, set the miniature back on the desk hastily. But the next night when he was alone with Perceval he said: "I don't want to be inquisitive, but I was awfully interested in that girl's face. Who is she?" "That," said Perceval without looking around—"that girl, as you call her, is Mrs. Perceval Moore." "What!" Randolph's tone expressed extreme incredulity. "You surely don't mean"— Perceval whirled around. "That I am married? Yes." Randolph whistled. "Well, of all things!" he said. And after that there was silence. Then Perceval came over and fung himself into a chair opposite Randolph. "I've simply got to tell somebody, Chase," he said. "I'm in an awful fix, and she's the dearest and truest and best little thing in the world. I've deceived her. She doesn't know that I am in college. She thinks I am earning a good salary in business." "Well, son," said Randolph Chase, "it seems to me that sort of deception is a kind that a girl can forgive easily enough. I guess she won't be wildly indignant when she finds that next year—it is next year that you come of age, isn't it?—you'll have a big pile of money coming to you. Any girl would be tickled to death to find that." Perceval shook his head. "Not Annabel," he declared. "Isn't her name dear and old fashioned, Chase?" "Yes," Randolph agreed. "But why will she object to a million, Perceval?" "Because she will say that I need to "Because she will say that I lied to her," Perceval said slowly, "and Annabel can forgive anything but a lie." "Out with it!" Randolph probed. "Tell me the whole story. It must be a queer one, and if you don't mind my saying so, old man, she must be a queer girl." "That's just what she is," said Perceval. "I met her last year at the beach. She was such a quaint, queer little thing that she attracted me. She always wore white, and I would find her sitting on the sand singing little songs to herself. There was an old sea captain to whom she talked a good deal, and I got him to introduce us. "Well, she had read a lot of books on social equality, and she just simply didn't have any use for the glided youth with money. What Annabel wanted was a man who worked, preferably with his hands, but, falling that, one who lived in the thick of the fight for existence. And she meant it too. And that is where I fell. "I was head over heels in love with her," continued Perceval forlornly, "and I simply wouldn't let her go. So I let her believe that I was working my way up in business. The first lie was simple enough and looked like one of those things that could be squared easily enough afterward. But, oh, Chase! I had to back that lie up with details on details until I had led to her at least ten lies to the hour. Well, we were married before I left in the fall. I wasn't of age, and she wasn't, and she wouldn't leave home until I could support her without hampering my business career. "I knew I had to come back to college or get dad down on me, so I told her to stay," groaned Perceval. "But I made her marry me for fear something might come between us, and I couldn't stand that, Randolph. But think how I'll appear to her, for I've lied in every letter, telling her how business was, and all that." The young fellow's voice broke. Randolph held out a sympathetic hand. "She'll forgive you, all right" he said. "But you sit right down tonight and confess, old man. It's not only the right thing, but the best policy, to be perfectly frank with her, and if she's in love with you she'll forgive you." But Perceval shook his head. "I don't dare," he said hunkily. "I so afraid I'll lose her, Randolph, and she is the dearest thing in the world." "You have said that before," Randolph remarked patiently. "I think you are making an awful mistake, but it will have to work itself out if you won't take any advice." Then he went to his own room and smoked another pipe on it, and after that he wrote a letter. And in three days came a letter to Perceval: Dear Boy—I must come to you at once. Things at home are in a dreadful state. I will tell you when I reach you. I know you haven't much for us to live on, but I have a little money in the bank that I have saved from my allowance, and I shall follow this note at once. Expect me on the 10:30 a.m. Friday. ANNABEL. "And this," said Perceval desperately as he showed the note to Randolph, "is Thursday. What am I going to do with her when she gets here, Randolph?" Randolph smiled inscrutably. "Find some rooms in a cheap quarter and set up housekeeping." Perceval's face brightened. "And go out every morning and make her think I've gone to work? You are a genius, Randolph." It took the two men several hours to find a little furnished apartment that would seem suitable for a young couple with little money. Perceval grumbled disconsolately. "I hate to put my jewel in such a setting," he said. "Tell her the truth," Randolph again advised, "and you won't have to put up with such cheap things." But Perceval refused. The next morning he met Annabel at the station, and together they went to the little cheap apartment. Her account of the trouble at home was somewhat vague, but she was enthusiastic over the thought of her housekeeping. But Perceval found it anything but lovely. He hated to see her soft white hands in the dishwater. It made him wince to see her bending over the flaming stove, and even the joy of her presence could not take away his sense of infinite guilt. And so he grew thin and pale and worn. "You are working too hard," Annabel said one night. And when he shook his head drearily his little wife crept out to the janitor's room and telephoned to some one. "He is punished enough," was her queer message. "Can't you have him go to his old quarters tonight and have it over?" The next night Perceval said to Annabel: "I have an engagement with Randolph. You won't mind if I leave you, will you, dear?" "Of course not," she acquiesced. "I can get along just this one time." Randolph told him that he wished to borrow some of Perceval's books. "I knew they were in your rooms, and I thought you wouldn't mind coming over," said he. "so I took the liberty of asking you to desert your wife for one evening." As the two men entered the luxurious quarters Perceval sighed. "To think of my condemning Annabel to such hideousness as that apartment we are living in!" he said, leaning down to turn on the low electric lamp on his study table. The light flared up and showed the cozy room, the little fire already lighted in the open grate, the blue flame burning under the brass teakettle. "Why, what?" Perceval demanded, like the big bear in the fairy tale. "Who has been living in my room?" From behind a tall screen came a little figure in white. "Oh, Perceval" cried Annabel and threw herself in his arms. And when Randolph had explained that he had taken chances and had written the truth to Perceval's little wife and Annabel had explained that she had known he was going to school and not to work ever since she had come to him, and, oh, didn't he know that she would love him if he was rich, Perceval drew a long breath of happiness. "I don't deserve it," he confessed, with his eyes shining, "and we can't live in these rooms, Annabel. But I am going to take my chances with dad, and when he sees what a dear little, queer little thing you are he will give in, and if he doesn't I can earn my living like a man now that I am square with you, sweetheart." PRACTICAL HEALTH HINT. The Scalp and the Hair. The hair is provided with oil by the sebaceous glands that lie at its roots. Regular and vigorous brushing of the hair increases the flow of oil and keeps the hair glossy. The hair is fed by the blood vessels that enter the inner layer of skin in which the hair root is embedded. A good nervous system which promotes a good circulation is one of the essentials in producing a healthy growth of hair. It is as necessary for the scalp to be kept clean. The hair should be thoroughly brushed to remove dust. It should be left loose and free at night to allow the moisture to evaporate and to permit air to pass through it freely. The scalp should be thoroughly rubbed at least once a week. This promotes a good circulation and thus gives the hair a vigorous growth. The hair should be washed at least once a month. Soft water, mild soap and thorough rinsing in clear water are essential to successful washing. having this enormous outlet, we are in a position to buy in unusually large quantities direct from the manufacturers.

As much as possible should be taken, including a generous supply of red meat lightly cooked, green vegetables, no potatoes, eggs raw or proached, bacon toasted or boiled, no fried food, no veal or pork, no tea, very little coffee, plenty of milk and cream, cocoa, milk puddings, and stewed fruits. Stewed prunes, figs and baked apples are helpful, as are fluids in large quantities; no acids, such as vinegar, acid wines, like claret and white wines; no recooked meat, no spiced or curried dishes, no salads or pickles, no cheese, new bread or pastry. GROWTH OF INDIA It Has Made Wonderful Strides In the Last Half Century. India's trade has increased during the last half century from $300,000,000 to more than $1,400,000,000. It has in operation 32,000 miles of railroad in its railroad mileage, carrying 330,000,000 passengers yearly at the rate of five miles for one cent. It maintains 76,000 miles of telegraph line, over which messages can be sent for more than 200 miles at a cost of only 12 cents. India is now the largest exporter of rice in the world, holds first place in its exports of tea, next to Argentina is the largest exporter of hides, and next to the United States is the largest exporter of cotton in the world. Next to the United States and Russia it is the largest wheat producing country. The Tata iron works in Bengal, employing 8,000 men, have laid down iron in San Francisco at less than the price charged by the United States Steel corporation. India's system of irrigation stands easily first in the world, being far more extensive than that of Egypt or America. Its more than 46,000 miles of irrigation canals have reclaimed more than 22,000,000 acres of land; and famine has been prevented forever in some districts—Sherwood Eddy in World's Work. BISMARCK'S PROPHECY. A Peep Into the Future by the Great German Statesman. Many years ago the writer, then a mere boy, was for a short time a privileged visitor in the country home at Friedrichsruh of the late Prince Bismarck. The memory of one conversation remains with him as though it occurred but yesterday. With a map of the world before him the prince was explaining how the existing political conditions had come into being, among other things, remarked that no state of affairs could be considered permanent there—in Europe. Placing his left hand upon France, he said, "Here we shall have ever growing dissension and weakness resulting from overculture." Then, placing his right hand upon Asia, he said, "Eventually he will move here" (indicating Europe by a tapping movement of the forefinger of his left hand). "It is only a question of when these millions become hungry enough." A little later he continued. "In those days there will be but one safe country, but one country that shall represent our civilization." And silently he lifted his left hand and laid it heavily upon America.—Howard V. Sutherland in New York Post. Spoiled Food In Commerce Spilled Food In Commerce. The United States department of agriculture has issued a ruling which hereafter will require any spoiled food to be denatured before it can be shipped in interstate commerce. This will permit the shipment of spilled eggs for use in tanning and other spoiled substances for the making of fertilizer or oils or greases used in machinery, but will require them to be treated with salt, kerosene oil or coloring matter or in other ways so that they cannot possibly be used for food. This is on the analogy of the denaturing of grain alcohol for use in the arts. A company of Chinese soldiers regularly enlisted in the militia in Hawaii constitutes an odd body in the reserve fighting forces of the United States. The organization was formed with the sanction of the war department at Washington, and under the tutelage of American army officers has made such pronounced progress in the mastery of military tactics that the recruiting of a second company is being considered. -Popular Mechanics Magazine Woman's Progress In England A woman has for the first time been appointed superintendent and deputy medical officer to the women convicts in an English prison. Less than fifty years ago Miss Jex-Blake, the first woman to attempt taking a medical degree in England, was stoned in the streets of Edinburgh and the university closed to her.-Women's Political World. Some idea of the power of a modern gun may be formed when it is stated that when an eighty-one ton gun fires a shot twelve miles it is fired at such an angle that the shell goes up to a height of 5,428 feet higher than Mont Blanc. A 100 ton projectile strikes with a force equal to 465,000 155 pounds jumping from a height of one foot. AUTOMATIC HELMSMAN. New Scheme For Steering a Ship Without a Man at the Wheel An automatic helmsman, which will steer a ship like a man at the wheel on the ship's bridge, is now being seriously proposed. The captain would set it to steer northeast, for instance, and the machine would then keep the vessel headed northeast until it was given further orders. None has yet been built, but a mechanism that will do the work has been fully planned by a marine engineer. It is made possible because of the success of the gyroscopic compass, now in daily use on several American naval vessels. This compass does not depend at all on the magnetic north pole, but uses the determination of the gyroscope to stay pointed in one direction regardless of the movements of its surroundings. To make the automatic helmsman a tiny mirror would be placed on the compass card and set to the proper course—to the northeast for instance. A beam of light on this mirror would reflect back between two selenium cells when the ship was exactly on the right course. If the ship turned a little off the course the beam would strike one of the selenium cells, and the cell would detect it sufficiently to start a motor to turning the ship's rudder the proper way. If the beam struck the other cell another motor would pull the helm round in the other direction. It would seem that the effect would be to steer the ship on a snaky course in a general northeasterly direction. It appears likely that very delicate adjustments would be feasible. BARBED WIRE IN WAR It Makes a Terrible Trap if the Enemy Gets Entangled In It. The liberal use of barbed wire by a force of defenders has often turned what would otherwise have been a victorious assault upon a fortified position into ignominious defeat. Every one recalls the way barbed wire was used around Santiago during the Spanish-American war and also in the Russo-Japanese war. The usual method is to stretch thousands of yards of wire, thickly "barbed," in front of an enemy. Irregular fences are formed, only a few feet apart. Trees, stumps and everything that can be used as a post is made to serve, and the more tangled the wire the more effective it becomes. The terrible effect upon a force that becomes entangled in such a snare is appalling. Horses are torn to pieces, men are cut and bruised, while the wire serves to hold them in range of deadly guns. Nothing is more demoralizing upon the troops, which find it practically impossible to advance or retreat. Barbed wire is placed by a regular corps of men who have special equipment for the work, and coils of wire are a part of every army's equipment. Likewise every fighting force has a coils of men provided with wire cutters to clear the ground for infantry and cavalry in advance. Their work is most hazardous on account of being themselves unarmed and exposed to the enemy's fire.—Exchange. What a Long War Would Mean. But would it be possible for any of the continental powers to continue a war on the scale of present day wars for three years? If they could do so they would practically exhaust themselves. To keep open the communications, to provide armies in the field with everything necessary, both in the way of munitions of war and of provisions and to fill up the gaps caused by deaths in battle, wounds and the ill health that would attend a long spell of campaigning in all kinds of weather would make such a demand upon the vigorous manhood of all the countries that it seems reasonable to infer that they would be, every one of them, even the wealthiest, exhausted before the end of three years was reached.—London Statist. Coke Burning Cars. Coke burning automobiles for omnibus and motor truck work have appeared on the streets in London. The boiler and engine are under a hood in front of the driver, giving the appearance of an ordinary automobile, but the hood is rather large. The coke is burned under a boiler to make steam, which in turn runs a steam engine. The coke bunkers, holding enough fuel for 50 or 100 miles' running, are located round the boiler, and an automatic arrangement feeds the coke into the fire. The gas or light smoke passes through a cooler before going into the air and gives so little smell and smoke that the stringent police regulations are compiled with. — Exchange. Soldiers and Socks. Well meaning women are busied in the making of many comforts for English soldiers. But they should remember that their supply of socks is not needed by the man who marches. He has found that his boots are enough on a long march—when they are the good boots now furnished him. And if you give him socks—and blisters—he will not thank you. He just throws the socks away.-London Chronicle. Buy American Goods First. The cry now is not only "See America First," but "Buy American Goods First." We should use American goods because of our preference for things we make ourselves in our own factories by our own skilled workmen and with the aid of American capital, which is heavily taxed to support the government—Leslie's.

"That's the steerage, madam," he replied. "Really?" she-exclaimed in surprise. "And does it take all those people to make the boat go straight?"—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Made Clear.

"Women dress far too much," he said, But met a strange rebuff- "Too much! You must be off your head They don't dress half enough!" Defined. Teacher--Tommy, what do you know about Croesus? Tommy--the taller puts 'em in my father's pants--Philadelphia Ledger. Current Comment. Besides disarmament, Europe should try a little democratizing.—Chicago News. About this time if the war had not stopped it we would be hurrying for the winner of the America's cup race.—Providence Journal. Uncle Sam will doubtless take all possible precautions to avoid the traditional perils that confront the peacemakers.—Washington Star. War's idea of "eugenics" is to kill off the strong and young and valiant, leaving the infirm, the diseased and the cowardly to be the fathers of the future.—Kansas City Star. The diseased and infirm are not drafted for war. The infirm and the diseased are "invalided" home. The eugenic outlook in Europe is about as bad as it could be. Whale beef, heretofore regarded as waste, is being canned in Alaska. Sailors are said to like it, but the question is, will land lubbers encourage blubber landers?

Some folks are never so lucky as when they are misjudged. As symbols of war no wonder so many of the eagles are bald. It will be interesting to see if Mexico can rise without a stabilizer. It's a highly educated man who doesn't stumble at Przemysl. Valuable experience is the kind you can exchange for real money. Hope, unaccompanied by work, has often made patches conspicuous. The counterfeit man, like counterfeit money, is detected sooner or later. Gossip is what others say about you; what you say about others is news. Don't worry over a mistake that can be corrected. Get busy and correct it. If you want a better job than you have do your best on the one you have. If the world was without woe the cynic would be the unhappiest man of all. There are many men who say nothing and yet are not busy at the wood-pile. A thunderbolt out of a clear sky isn't in it with a torpedo out of a submarine. Almost every man needs a parachute when posing on the pedestal of fame. Too many pedestals are erected for military heroes and too few for the heroes of peace. It is well to remember that making the best of things includes making the best of oneself. The man who waits for something to turn up usually finds himself turned down in the long run. It is usually the man who never votes who knows exactly how the government ought to be run. Phone Res. 508 E. 36th St. FRANKLIN 2727 Phone Douglas 4397 AUTO. 41-543 J. GRAY LUCAS 25 N.

Chicago has made another city directory estimate and now claims a population of 2,500,000, but nobody else seems to be much excited about it. Indianapolis News. Neither New York nor San Francisco will shed many tears because Chicago is in no position to obtain its share of the water borne commerce with South America.—Chicago News. The Royal Box. The Prince of Monaco, though he rules one of the smallest states in Europe, has nevertheless twenty-one titles. They are variously prince, duke, marquis, count, baron and seigneur. Before his accession to the throne King Peter of Servia lived in exile in Paris in a flat for which he paid the very modest rent of $150 per annum. He was in those days a great athlete and boxer. The present German emperor has been on the throne a little more than twenty-six years. It will be remembered the kaiser's twenty-fifth anniversary was celebrated with great rejoicing throughout all Germany on June 16 of last year. Buy a Bale. Good evening.

WHEN butchers' prices soar and the best steak comes high the cheaper cuts may be substituted for them. The tenderness and palatableness of a steak are largely dependent on the way it is prepared. A good way of cooking steak is given here. Farina Soup.-Take one-half pound of butter, melt in a casserole dish, and when hot add three-quarters of a pound of farina. Cook on top of the range, stirring with a wooden spoon so it will not stick to the bottom. Cook until the color of a chestnut, then add two quarts of boiling water, season with salt and pepper and boll for one hour. THE FORTY-FOURTH STREET Bean • Salad—Take eight small onions, peel and slice in rings. Pour cold water on them and drain. Place in a salad bowl, add one pint and a half of boiled lima beans, or cold baked beans may be used. Mix the onions in lightly, together with a teaspoonful of salt, one half teaspoonful of paprika, two tablespoonfuls olive oil, one teaspoonful white sugar and three-fourths cupful of vinegar. Mold, garnish with olives, add two sliced hard boiled eggs and serve on lettuce with cheese fingers. Baked Round Steak.—Take a slice of round steak, cut about one and one-half inches thick, cover with flour and, using the edge of a plate or meat pounder, pound as much as possible into the meat.
