There is so much to be said respecting the nation wide election which was held on the Tuesday just passed that anyone could write about it for one week before they would be able to reach or arrive at the end of the story. It seems at this writing that it is beyond a reasonable doubt that according to the unofficial returns, that the Hon. Roger C. Sullivan has fallen on the outside of the breastworks in his race for the United States Senatorship, that the Hon. Lawrence Y. Sherman has captured the senatorial prize for at the present time his majority is well into 14,000 to 16,000 and some of his supporters claim that it will run up to twenty or twenty-five thousand. On the whole it was a great day for the grand old party of God and morality for it routed the Democrats in many states throughout the union greatly cutting down the large Democratic majority in the lower house of congress. One of the greatest political revolutions occurred in the state of New York, where its Ex-Governor William Sulzer, without money and without any newspapers to champion his cause received the votes of one hundred and twenty-five thousand of its people who still had faith in him thereby enabling him to greatly assist to bring about the election of Charles S. Whitman, the Republican candidate for Governor of that state and helping to defeat Martin H. Glynn, the present Democratic Governor and candidate for re-election, and at the same time dealing "Boss" Charles F. Murphy and Tammany Hall a severe blow in the law. Aside from cleaning up in New York state several other states enjoyed Republican landslides, notably in Pennsylvania, Iowa, Kansas, Colorado and Connecticut, in the majority of instances completely wiping out the Progressive party—and closing up the big or loud mouth of Col. Theodore Rocovelt, the ex-rough riding president, like a hard shell oyster, for since the election he has silently crawled into his hole and pulled his hole in after him and he will not have one thing to say in relation to the final results and the outcome of the late election. Old Illinois swung back into the Republican column which simply means that the Hon. Edward F. Dunne and his henchmen, including the Rev. Hon. Archibald James Carey, Ph. D. D. D., and the Hon. Thomas Wallace Swann will be run out of office in 1916. Right here in Cook County the Democrats held their own electing all the candidates for the principal offices omitting Adam Wolf and William H. Weber, Republicans, who were re-elected members of the Board of Assessors; five Republican Municipal Judges were elected, namely, Charles N. Goodnow, Joseph Z. Uhlir, Sheridan E. Fry, Samuel H. Trude and Charles L. Billings. Two Republicans were re-elected Trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, W. G. Clark and G. W. Paulillin. The following were the successful Democratic and Republican candidates at the polls in this city and county on Tuesday who will draw their pay from the taxpayers for the next six, four and two years: County Officers (elected) County Court Appellate court clerk, J. S. McInerney, D.; Sheriff, John E. Traeger, D.; County treasurer, Henry Stuckart, D.; County clerk, R. M. Sweitzer, D.; County judge, Thomas F.

William Busse, Joseph Carolan, Dudley D. Pierson, George A. Miller, and William H. MacLean. It might not be out of place to state right at this point that the Chicago Tribune waged a very bitter fight against Judge Thomas F. Scully and made a desperate effort to defeat him simply because he was unwilling to do its bidding in several court matters a few years ago, but having The Broad Ax on his side Judge Ccully had nothing to fear for he greatly assisted him to make a successful home run, which proves that it is more powerful than the Chicago Tribune. Congressmen elected for the Chicago congressional districts are as follows: 1st. Martin B. Madden, R. 2nd. James R. Mann, R. 3rd. William W. Wilson, R. 4th. James T. McDermott, D. 5th. Adolph Sabath, D. 6th. James McAndrews, D. 7th. Frank Buchanan, D. 8th. Thomas Gallagher, D. 9th. Fred A. Britten, R. 10th. George E. Foss, R. Hon. Samuel A. Ettelson, without any trouble was re-elected to the State Senate from the Third Senatorial District to the great delight of his many warm friends. Alderman George P. Harding was, with a healthy majority at his back, chosen State Senator in the First Senatorial District. Major Robert R. Jackson, after a spirited and straightforward fight on his part was re-elected to the Legislature from the Municipal Judges Assessors. Third Senatorial District for the second time, defeating William Ostrom, his White Republican opponent, which amply proves that Major Jackson is strong and popular with all classes of the voters residing in his district—it will be mighty hard work for anyone to beat him for sometime to come. William M. Brinkman and Col. S. B. Turner won out in the First Senatorial District; the election returns so far indicate that more than eighty thousand people in Chicago recorded their votes in favor of Col. F. A. Denison for county commissioner; that Dr. George C. Hall will have about forty thousand votes to his credit which shows that White men and women are not above voting for decent Colored men for office in this city which speaks volumes for them. STILL PEAISING THE NINETEENTH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF THE BROAD AX. We extend hearty congratulations to Julius F. Taylor upon the nineteenth anniversary edition of the Chicago Broad Ax. The issue was printed upon extra heavy book paper and was full of interesting and informing matter. Whether one agrees with Brother Taylor or not, he gets out a lively sheet and makes the fur fly in his bailiwick. The editor has the courage of his convictions and is not shy about letting you know just where he stands on the questions of the hour. He always contends for the things that belong to the Negro race and is "agin" everybody who is "agin" us, regardless of what they call themselves—Richard B. Thompson, the Washington, D. C., correspondent for the Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. The above comment appearing in the issue of that paper October 31st, 1914. We wish to extend our thanks to you Brother Thompson—Editor. $1500 Automobile--Free Gift. Nine Other Valuable Prizes THE OFFER Nine prizes, including a $1,500 automobile, aggregating $2,500 in value, will be presented by The Broad Ax to popular persons on or before December 21st, 1914. The winners of these splendid gifts will be decided by popular vote according to this plan. THE PLAN It costs absolutely nothing to enter and win. Any person may enter the contest and win any one of the prizes. No objectionable character, nor no employee of The Broad Ax, nor no member of an employees family can enter. To enter, all you need do is to send in your name on a nomination blank, or by mail or phone or personally. You can nominate yourself or some friend that you would like to see win a $1,500 automobile. The nomination counts 5,000 votes and starts you on the way to success. TO GET VOTES There is a coupon in each issue of The Broad Ax that counts ten votes. Ask your friends to clip these coupons out of their paper and vote for you. Also we allow 1,000 votes on every subscription paid for one year. If a friend of yours wants to pay a year's subscription to The Broad Ax ($2.00) he can get 1,000 votes for you by so doing. You can see that the fastest way for you to get votes is to go to your friends and tell them that you are in The Broad Ax Contest and that you want their subscription and their votes in order to win the $1,500 automobile. By referring to the scale of votes published below you will see that a subscription for two years counts very much more than two subscriptions for one year each, and you will find that many of your friends will give you more than one year's subscription so that you may have the great advantage of the extra votes. A still better way for you to get a great many votes easily and quickly is to get advertising from merchants where you and your friends trade. Many of the merchants would be glad to advertise in The Broad Ax because it would pay them to do so. They will readily give you $5.00 or $10.00 to pay for advertising, and this money paid for advertising counts at the same rate as the subscriptions. A $10.00 advertisement would count for you the same as a five-year subscription, that is, 15,000 votes. THE PRIZES First—There is the Five Passenger Marathon Touring Car, worth $1,500.00. It is a splendid big car, fully equipped with all the latest devices for elegance and comfort, electrically lighted and started. The person who gets the greatest number of votes wins this car. Second—The $650.00 Stephen M. Meyers Player Piano, would be good as the leading price in any context. Suppose you went into the content and at the end of the six or seven short weeks that it lasts, you found yourself elected by your friends to own and enjoy such an instrument. Would you be No.7 satisfied with the result of the little work required to ask your friends for their votes! If you score second you get this. Third—A $100.00 Columbia Phonograph goes to you if you are so fortunate as to be third at the end of the contest. Think of it. In less than seven weeks you can secure one of these epicendid prizes by merely nominating yourself and asking your friends to elect you. Fourth—If three other candidates for prizes succeed in getting more votes than you do, and you are the fourth, then you get a diamond ring worth $75. Fifth—Another Columbia Phonograph, this one worth only $50.00. Only Fifty Dollars you notice for scoring fifth among the candidates for prizes. And mind you a $50.00 Columbia is exactly the same instrument mechanically that the bigger machine is and the quality of its music just as fine. Sixth—If five other people beat you in the contest and you manage to land in Sixth place, then you get your choice of a $15 watch or other jewelry to the value of $15. The Seventh, Eighth and Ninth prizes are the same as the sixth. So all you have to do is to get next to last place and you win a prize worth $15, and best of all you select it yourself.

The business of this department will be conducted at number 3439 South State St. Phone Douglas 7877. CONTEST NOW OPEN The contest for $2,500 worth of free prizes is now open and of course the sooner one gets started the better his or her opportunity to succeed.

FANNIE BARRIER WILLIAMS SPEAKS BEFORE THE PROGRES- SIVE LEAGUE. Om last Sunday afternoon the Pro- gressive Negro League was honored by am address from the well-known club womas, Mri. Fannie Barrier Williams. Mra, Williams said in part: ‘The subject of woman suffrage was at enetime a thing to be ridiculed and sndure@-at and many women timidly turse@"away from it as something un- worthy ef their womanhood. But thanks to the imberent power of organized “Woman’s Suffrage’’ it is now the biggest question in the public mind to- day. The Colored women as citizens have been and still are handicapped on all sides. Who they are, what they have done fer themselves and even what they deserve has not been of interest to the ‘average American. It has been and ‘still ie eux lot to bear the burdens of suspicion, mistrust and race hatred. Not even the Christian religion of love and merey has been strong enough to break dows the barriers of race pre- jadiee, fer you know it is savage senti- mont that makes the worth of heart, mind and character depend on the vari- ous shades of human complexion. But human meanness cannot last forever and jestice is yet invulnerable. We have a right to believe that the enlightment of the franchise will bring @ mew and better spirit into the po- litieal, secial and religious life of the nation. When Colored women as well as White women begin to realize the real significance and power of the bal- lot, wespest for the race will wonderfully imerease. It must also be remembered that Coleved women have been trained im seheols, church life and in their clubs and ergeaimations to such an extent that they are much better qualified for suf- frage than were the Colored men when they were first enfranchised. This led me to the thought that it is pessible by those in official power to keep yeu out of your rights. We have sm example ef that in our own state. For several years the dependent and delinquent Colored children in the state of Illinois have been most cruelly neg- lected for lack of suitable homes ot institutions for them. In the case of White dependent children, every modern method and equipment with sehools, ete. is provided. The county and state is supposed to care for all dependent children, regardless of color, but in Illinois the dependent girl is absolutely shut out, while the boys are sometimes admitted, so that the state of Lincoln is allowing its unfortunate dependent wards to be separated according to com- plexion. When Colored women under- stand the power of the ballot, I believe they will find a way to right this great injustice. This would prove a practical example of what Colored women may do with this new weapon. We must re- member that voting is not only a right but a duty. We cannot afford to be in- different because to be indifferent is sufficient to brand us, as bad citizens. Ont of this gift of suffrage, will come to us, as to other women, opportunitism benefits and privileges, we have never dreamed of, and by the power of the ballot Colored women may be able to not only win but compel protection and respect. ‘Mrs. Williams’ address was much ap- preciated by all who heard it and it is sure that it will be the cause of much interest being taken in the political affairs of the community by the Colored women. _ Rev. Father J. B. Massiah, 3817 Wa. bash avenue, the distinguished pastor of St. Thomas Episcopal church, has been confined in St. Lake’s Hospital for the past two weeks where he underwent & difficult surgical operation, performed by Dr. Daniel H. Williams. At this writing he is getting along nicely and expects to return to his home within a short time. Dr. Dan is being highly praised on all sides for successfully pulling Father Massiah through a most difficult operation. ‘THE : ) ER 7, 1914. » HYDE PARK NEWS | ‘The wedding bells rang out a By L, W.

The five boys made their platform appearance in a pictur- esque garb which was symbolic of South Africa. The program rendered was a marvel of musical accuracy and sweet- ‘ness. ‘Typical songs of the various races ‘and in their native dialect were given. But most of their selections were mainly English solos, duets, choruses were pre- sented with perfect accent and enuncia- tion with clearness and beauty of tone, and with such light and shade as can only be heard in the noted choirs of the world. Repeated appearances were made be- fore the late Queen Victoria, the present Queen Mary, many of the nobility of England, the Inte Wm. E. Gladstone, Cecil John Rhodes and the ambassadors to Great Britain. Everywhere in our own country, at our Chatauquas and ¢u our large cities they were greeted with immense audiences and accorded the raise their fascinating program merited.

The lady who achieved this feat is Mrs. H. Arnold Jackson, a member of the exclusive Oakley Country club near the Hub. Recently she defeated all contestants for the women's national golf championship at the contest held at the Nassau Country club, New York. This is the second time Mrs. Jackson has been a national champion. In 1908, as Miss Kate C. Harley of Fall River, Mass., she has won the title. Five times she has been a winner. In the national tournament at Wheaton in 1903 she was beaten in the semifinal round by Mrs. J. A. Carpenter; in 1904, at Merlon, Miss Georgianna M. Bishop eliminated her in the semifinal round, and in 1911, at Baltusrol, Miss Lillian B. Hyde was successful against her, so that altogether Mrs. Jackson's record is considered very good. WRIST DECORATION. Bands of Velvet and Lace and Watches Mounted in Leather as Bracelets. When a bracelet of diamonds, in itself worth a beaigneder city's war tax, would call attention only to its own brilliancy—and would therefore be discarded by the fashionable woman of today—the bracelet of black velvet ribbon, with its quaint jet slides and buckles, gives point and character to the frock with which it is worn. One of the very newest things is the bracelet of Chantilly lace. It is a narrow band, about half an inch wide of D TANGO BRACELET black Chantilly, mounted over white or black tule and clasped with a little buckle of rhinestones or jet snugly about the wrist. Chantilly bands are also worn about the throat. They are fitted with slides of jet or rhinestones, and some of them have long jet pendants to hang in front. Another touch of black is the little wristband of moive ribbon with a silver buckle, silver rimmed. The tango watch illustrated here is no convenient that women shopper, teachers or business women in general will appreciate its usefulness. The tango gun metal watch is in a bracelet of leather, that may be strapped snugly about the wrist. Good form Thanksgiving Frolic. A plan for a frolic on Thanksgiving eve is a turkey party. Begin the fun with a turkey search, which can be very easily arranged and requires no preparation but a simple prize, for which one of the pasteboard gobbler filled with candy which all the shops have in stock at this time of year will be just the thing. Cut a quantity of pasteboard into small tickets or slips or use ordinary wrapping or pad paper in the same way. On each slip write one of the letters which go to make up the word "turkey," having each slip fit into a set completing the word. Fold the slips, and, after seating all the players around a table, play the game after the rules of "authors," the end and aim of each player being to complete the word "turkey" as often as possible. To begin the game deal an equal number of slips to each person and the same to the pool. If any player with the slips dealt to him can complete the word "turkey" he is privileged to place the letters lacking on the table in front of him. Each set completing the word counts points toward the game. When all have matched and discarded the matching letters, as described, each, in turn, beginning with the player at the left of the dealer, draws from the pool and matches in turn. When the pool is exhausted the players have the privilege of asking each other for the letters they desire, each asking in turn and for but one letter at a time. If the person who is asked for a certain letter is found with it in his hand he is required by the rules of the game to give it up, even though necessary for a word he is building at the time. The game ends when all the players are out of slips and is won by the person who oftentimes completes the term "turkey." A Simpler Game. The same game played with tickets or paper slips can be played by hiding the slips around the room and letting the players search for them. In this game the rule is that each slip must be sought in the sequence in which it comes in the word—thus, U only after T has been captured, and so on, as this adds to the excitement of the turkey chase. The person winning most words receives the prize, as before. In the case of young children, for whom the spelling test would be too difficult, cut a number of turkeys out of white or manila paper and hide these, to be searched for instead of the letters. The party giver who is not able to design these shapes herself may easily find a pattern for her turkeys by scanning the advertisements in papers and other periodicals at turkey time. Refreshments for a turkey party should have the flavor of the Thanksgiving delicacy in one course at least. Hot roast turkey sandwiches (a slice of the breast served with plenty of rich gravy between the slices of bread or toast) are a change from the familiar cold sandwich. With these, if you do not care for coffee, mulled sweet cider, prepared like mulled wine, will be a novelty perhaps. Maple parfait in tall glasses makes a tasty iced tidbit to follow. Thanksgiving In the Home. Thanksgiving, our one truly American holiday, will soon be with us, and we will all be celebrating "turkey day." It is indeed a long cry from that first day of Thanksgiving as spent by the Pilgrims to our modern festival, which to the casual observer seems to be a conglomeration of chrysanthemums and football! But the great mass of homemakers are still true to the best traditions of the day and do make it a festival of reunion and true happiness. In large cities there is the unfortunate tendency of many to eat their Thanksgiving dinners in hotels. Indeed, it is almost a fad, and people crowd the most luxurious restaurants on that day. This seems a deplorable tendency, but the custom is confined only to our larger cities, and in the great mass of our American homes we are still allowing the true home spirit to permeate our festival. Jolity For the Kiddies All children, boys and girls alike, enjoy the fun of "dressing up;" hence they like a fancy dress frolic so much better than the average party. Then the costumes can be made up so inexpensively nowadays. Thanks to the inventor of crape paper and the low prices for pretty fabrics a children's fancy dress ball is now only a common occurrence, much to their delight. Any woman who knows how to sew can make the costumes once she has the ideas. The Question of a Present. The Question of a Present When invited to a church wedding and not to the reception following it is not necessary to send a present to the bride, but a call is made on the bride on her at home day a month or two after the wedding. Shirred ribbon elastic bands finished with big white satin poppies or roses and designed to keep the bride's "dozen of each" sets of lingerie in neat piles are acceptable gifts for showers or other occasions. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 7, 1914. ```markdown ``` FOREST GREEN COAT. The cramped shouldered effect, so marked in many coats of the last few years has been noticeably absent in most coats of the present season. There is, in fact, a very obvious breadth of shoulders, due no doubt to the popularity of the redingote or kilono effect. There are, of course, some set-in sleeves, but the style tendency is toward the long shoulder lines. Illustrated here is a handsome coat of forest green duvetyn made in the modish redingote style. The body of the coat is semifitted, and the skirt has a decided flare. The wide cuffs are faced with black velvet. The collar is also velvet faced. Large smoked pearl buttons are used as ornaments and trimming. THE CORRECT SKIRT. Comparatively Short, but Worn With Coats Long In Line. In having street skirts cut see that the short skirt, the one which emphasizes the latest rulings as to length, is worn only with a high weighted top and with a coat whose skirts are long. All of the new models which were responsible for the introduction of the short skirt styles for fall were made with either coat skirts which fell to the knees or else simulated the effect by elevating the waist line to the directoire line and attaching long skirts from this position, which reached below the hip line. The first of these styles, introduced last spring by Paquin of Paris, deferred to this rigid style line by providing the tailleur with a long inroverable coattail, thus preserving the long line effect considered such an essential point of the short skirted models. Flounced skirts also show circular cut propensities. For evening wear a circular cut skirt is le dernier erl. Would you be gowned in the very latest, have a circular skirt mounted upon a circular cut hip length yoke, worn with a bodice of very tightly fitting characteristics, really early Victorian in guise and provided with a normal waist line. DOMESTIC SCIENCE To repair a tablecloth, lay it quite flat and cover the hole with a piece of plain Brussels net; tack it on and darn with fine flax. To revive withered flowers p'unge the stalks in boiling water and leave them in it till it becomes cold. Then cut about one inch from the ends of the stalks. To clean white enameled furniture, use a solution made by dissolving one tablespoonful of soda in a pint of warm water. Saturate a soft cloth and wash off the furniture. Destroy the smell of paint by placing palifuls of cold water in the rooms which are being painted. Change the water night and morning, and when possible add a handful of hay to the water in each pail. Get some bitter apple from the drug-gist, crush it and sprinkle it among the clothes. You will find it the finest thing on record for keeping moths away from everything, and one can use garments at a minute's notice, as there is no smell left by bitter apple. To tint curtains cream color mix a bowl of cream starch and another of white. Add a small quantity of the cream starch to the white before each curtain is starched. This makes the curtains all the same tone, which would not be the case were they put directly into the cream starch. DUPLICATED IN COTTON. Smart Models Thus Carried Out In Accordance With the Fashion. 1 BLUE GABARDINE GOWN. The woman who desires to adopt the fashionable fad of wearing a truly American gown, one built of cotton and fashioned by an American dressmaker, has a wide variety of models that she may copy. The one illustrated here is striking. Carried out in blue gabardine, it has a semi-fitting basque with a deep hip yoke and gathered tunic. Down the front runs a row of self covered buttons. A sailor collar and cuffs of hemstitched organdie are worn with the gown. GATHERED BASQUE The Favorite Bodice In One of its Latest and Smartest Forma. This basque with seams that extend to the shoulders is one of the latest developments. It can be made with full or with plain side portions, but it is always closed down the front. Chiffon velvet makes a beautiful basque to be worn over a skirt of charmeuse satin. One of the new soft fallle silks would be lovely with a velvet skirt, and a simpler desirable combination will be found in a basque of charmeuse satin to be worn over a skirt of gabardine. The sleeves can be made either in full or three-quarter length. Here the basque with full side portions is made of charmeuse satin in the new purple known as aztec, and the collar and cuffs are of white. For the medium size the basque with gathered sides will require four and MISCHIEFEN OF CHARMEUSE SATIN. three-eighths yards of material twenty-seven inches wide. with three-eighths yard twenty-seven inches wide for the collar and cuffs; the basque with plain sides three and three-eighths yards twenty-seven inches wide.

Those who think themselves unfortunate because the apartment they call home is so small that a Thanksgiving dinner is an impossibility should not despair. One bride who had but two rooms gave a successful Thanksgiving dinner in her apartment last year. The gas stove of two burners, with a one burner oven, sat on a cretonne covered shoe box in front of a window. The ventilation was perfect. The bride gave much thought to see how each dish could be prepared with the least amount of work and time. She bought a baby turkey—a wee six pound one—and stuffed it as mother used to do. Mincemeat tarts were baked at the same time, potatoes and peas were cooked in a double boiler, cranberry jelly she made the day before and, in fact, the turkey was stuffed and partly roasted the day before, for Thanksgiving afternoon this wise young bride had planned to spend at a football game. When she returned she donned an attractive cover all apron, and in three quarters of an hour, when her guests arrived, the table was set, the oyster cocktails were in place and the dinner ready to serve. Needless to say, the bridegroom was a very proud and beaming host. The Thanksgiving Table. Thanksgiving is so essentially the hostess' and housewife's day, when it is her privilege to gather around her hospitable board both guests and relatives, that especial effort should be taken to have the dinner as nearly perfect as possible. Chrysanthemums, which are now at their best, with their vivid colorings, seem especially adapted to the Thanksgiving table, and if the dinner is served after dusk or the day proves dark and lowering light the table with candies shaded by red and orange shades, to match the coloring of the floral decorations. A fruit centerpiece is also in excellent taste as embodying the very spirit of Thanksgiving, and for this nothing can be better than a large yellow pumpkin that has been carefully hollowed out and filled with apples, russet oranges, a lordly pine and clusters of luscious bothouse or Malaga grans. Place also upon the table, which has been covered with a damask cloth laid over the heavy "silence cloth," relish dishes and compotiers holding crisp, shredded celery, stuffed olives, salted nuts and homemade candy, while name cards, tucked into each napkin, may take the form of tiny pumpkins, demure Quaker malena or plump turkeys, sketched either in india ink or water colors. The Thanksgiving Turkey. Select a turkey weighing not over ten or twelve pounds. If for a large family it is better to have two ten-pound turkeys than a very large one. Have the fowl drawn and, if possible, the tendons drawn from the legs. Singe, cut'neck close to body, remove pinfeathers and thoroughly scrub the bird inside and out, being careful that it does not stay in the water. Wipe well and stuff, then truss and put in a roasting pan, breast down. Sprinkle with flour and sait and place in a hot oven. Baste every fifteen minutes the first hour of roasting, using butter and hot water. After turning the bird over on its back cover the breast with butter and brown. If a crust is desired cream together butter and flour, using twice as much butter as flour. A ten pound turkey needs three hours to cook, and more time will not hurt it. The heart, liver and glizzard should be cooked in water until the last is tender. The neck may be cooked with them, and this stock is excellent for gravy, to which these parts, chopped, may be added. Oyster Dressing. One quart of oysters will be required for an ordinary sized turkey. Grate into a mixing bowl four large cupfuls of breadcrumbs, add a heaping teaspoonful of salt, a saitspoonful of celery salt, a pinch of powdered mace, the drained oysters (either chopped or whole), a saitspoonful of white pepper, one tablespoonful of chopped parsley, one tablespoonful of melted butter and half a teacupful each of sherry and the oyster liquor. Mix the ingredients thoroughly before using. Giblet Sauce Thoroughly wash the giblets and boil in enough water until tender. Run through food chopper; moisten three tablespoonfuls of flour with cold water to form a smooth paste. When gravy, which has formed in the pan, is ready to be made, skim off any superfluous fat. Stir in the dissolved flour and let simmer until thickened. Drain through a strainer, add the chopped giblets, season to taste and serve very hot. Too Much Butter. An ounce a day of butter is a very suitable allowance for a person who has not much fat of other kinds, but there is no need for butter with jam or marmalade or bacon or fried food or with cheese and biscuits after a good dinner. A crust of dry bread that needs chewing is a better finale for both teeth and digestion. For the Children How the Reindeer Looks In Harness. A reindeer is pulling a sled across a snowy landscape. To the people of Lapland the reindeer serves as a substitute for the horse, cow, sheep and goat. It is extensively employed as a beast of draft, being broken to draw sledges or carry packages on its back. A full grown animal can draw a weight of 300 pounds and travel at the rate of 100 miles a day, its broad, deeply cleft hoofs fitting it admirably for traveling over the broken snow. In winter the herds feed in the woods on the lichens that hang upon the trees or grow upon the ground, to secure which the broad antlers and hoofs are employed to scrape away the snow. Some years ago a herd of reindeer was introduced into Alaska for the benefit of the Mackos. The experiment proved a great success, and now thousands of the animals are owned by the natives. Whether alive or dead, every product of the reindeer serves a useful purpose. The reindeer here pictured is equipped with a Lapland harman. The sled is drawn by means of a single trace, which passes between the hind legs of the animal. A Smart Bird In the house of the consul in Bangkok is a bird that keeps up an incessant chatter that might almost be called conversation, so clever is it. The voice of this bird is much like a human voice, far more so than the parrot's. The bird is called the mineur or minor. It learns much more readily than the parrot and is as clever at imitating as the American mocking bird. It whistles in exact imitation of its master and sings whole songs through without making a mistake. The master of this songster always summons his servant to him by calling "Boy!" The mineur learned to do the same thing, with the result that the servant was sent on a fool's errand many times. None could tell whether the master called or the mineur. This greatly annoyed the servant, whose owner told him that he need not come unless he heard the call, "Boy, boy!" repeated twice. In three days' time the mineur had learned his trick and was doing the same thing. Then it was arranged that the master should strike on the table or clap his hands, as they do in Turkey or Siam. This was too much for the mineur, who found that his fun was over. An Egg Race. To play this game two empty eggshells and a couple of strips of white tape, each two yards long, are required. There is also a little fan, which is of use in the game. To play this mark out two goals by pinning down the pieces of tape at opposite sides of the room, leaving plenty of space behind each for a child to crouch down at the outset of the race. Place an empty eggshell in the center of each line of tape and choose a boy and girl to play against each other. Give the girl the fan and place her behind her barrier with directions to fan her egg over her barrier and across her opponent's boundary as quickly as possible. The boy player meantime has to rely on his lungs to make his egg travel, and the player whose egg first crosses the tape of the enemy wins the game. Misquotations Bishop Berkeley wrote "Westward the course of empire takes its way." Yet his line is misquoted daily. "Westward the star of empire takes its way." Pope's fine line. "Welcome the coming, speed the going guest." is spelled in the misquotation. "Welcome the coming, speed the parting guest." A Chinese Tragedy. A Chinamah stood. On the edge of the sea. Singing "Ching a ling ling, Oh, ching a ling leel!" There came up a typhoon. But Ching a Ling Lee. Kept ching a ling linging His song to the sea. "Enough," cried the Wind. "Of these ching a ling locet." And he jerked the way Chinamah Out of his shoes. ee es & iN: HON. ROBERT M.

BY THE BROAD Ax THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 7, 1914. ——$ THOMAS JEPPERSON THE FIRST| of these were due to tuberculosis; ABOLITIONIST many living cases of tuberculosis 1 ee ee tee ee son, shortly after the American Revola tion war, uttered some words concern ing the Negro and the White man, that ought to be read and re-read, in these present times. And, it must be remem: hered that these noble words, in order © appreciate their true worth and value should be read im the light of the con ditions as existing then. If, then, we read them with such conditions in mind, we shall be forced to exclaim in the light of the advance of the Negro race, since that time, under tremendous odds, “What hath God wrought?”” Thomas Jefferson was the father of ‘*Abolitionists"’ as certainly appears from hix brave and fearless pleading for “justice”? on behalf of the oppressed. But we shall let the words of Mr. Jef. ferson speak for themselves. Says Thomas Jefferson: «There must doubtless be an unhappy influence on the manners of our people produced by the existence of slavery among us. The whole commerce be- tween master and slave is a perpetual exercine of the most boisterous passions, the most unremitting despotism on the one part, and degrading submission on the other. Our children see this, and learn to imitate it, for man is am imita- tive animal, This quality is the germ of all education in him. From his cradle to his grave he is learning to do what he sees other do. If a parent could find no motive, either in his philanthropy or his self-love, for restraining the in- temperance of passion towards his slave, it should always be a sufficient one that his child is present. But gen- erally it is not sufficient. The parent storms, the child looks on, catches the lineaments of wrath, puts on the same airs in the circle of smaller slaves, gives a loose to the wort of passions, and thus nursed, educated, and daily exercised in tyranny, cannot but be stamped by it with odious peculiarities. The man must be a prodigy who can retain his manners and morals undepraved by such cireumstances. And with what execra- tion should the statesman be loaded, who, permitting one-half the citizens thus to trample on the rights of the other, transform those into despots, and these into enemies, destroys the morals: of the one part, and the amor patriae of the other. “For if a slave can have a country in this world, it must be any other in preference to that in which he is born to live and labor for another; in which be must lock up the faculties of his nature, contribute as far as depends on his individual endeavors to the advance- ment of the human race, or entail his own miserable condition on the endless generations proceeding from him. “With the morals of the people, their industry is also destroyed. For in a warm climate, no man will labor for himself who can make anofher labor for him. This is so true, that of the proprietors of slaves © very small pro- portion indeed are ever seen to labor. And can the liberties of a nation be thought secure when we have removed their only firm basis, a conviction in the minds of the people that these liberties are of the gift of God? That they are not to be violated but with His wrath? “‘Inded, I tremble for my country’ when I reflect that God is just; that His justice ean not sleep forever; that con- sidering numbers, nature and natural means only, a revolution of the wheel of fortune, an exchange of situation is| among possible events; that it may be- come probable by supernatural inter- ference. The Almighty has no attribute wi can take side with us in such a contest: But it is impossible to be temperate and 10 pursue this subject through the var- ious considerations of policy, of morals, of history, natural and civil. We mast] be contented to hope they will foree their way into every one’s mind. I think a change already perceptible, since the origin of the present revolu- tion. ‘The spirit of the master is abat- ing, that of the slave rising from the dust, his condition mollifying, the way [ hope preparing, a total emancipation, und that this is disposed, in the prder of events, under the auspices of heaven, for to be with the consent of the mas- vers, rather than by their = ONE FUNERAL IN EVERY TEN AMONG CHURCH MEMBERS DUB TO TUBERCULOSIS. STUDY OF 3,000 CHURCHES WITH 1,003,300 MEMBERS, SHOWS ONE CASE OF CONSUMPTION A YRAR FOR EVERY TWENTY COMMUMI- CANT. = eae In an effort to ascertain how serious ‘8 problem tubereulosis is to the average chureh congregation of the United States, The National Asssciation for the Study and Prevention of Tubereu- Yosis publishes today a report which ‘shows that in nearly 3,000 churehes in 37 different states one funeral in every ten is due to this single disease. | Through a questionnsire sent out all over the country, 2,852 clergymen repre- ‘senting 1,603,300 communicants or par- ishioners gave replies telling at how many funerals they ofleiated for the year eading August 31, 191¢; how msay of these were due to tuberculosis; how many living cases of tuberculosis they now have in their parishes, and how ‘many communicants or parishioners. ‘There were, 36,798 deaths from all causes reported, showing a death rate of 2294 per 10,000 population, whieh is considerably higher than the cor- responding rate for the entire country, 138.7 in 1912. This high death rate is probably due to the fact that pastors of churches officiate at many funerals of others than members or communi- cants, while their membership reports are taken from actual records. As indicating the extent of the tuber- culosis problem in the average church the figures show that 10.3 per cent. of all the funerals reported were caused by tuberculosis, and that, in addition to the 3,704 deaths from this disease, the ministers had 4,254 living cases now under their pastoral supervision. 1 one year, therefore, the 2,852 churches were caring for 8,048 eases of tubereu- losis, or an average of nearly three for each congregation. The average size of the congregations was 56, which would indicate that there is a ease of tubercu- losis developing each year for every twenty church members. « Beeause tuberculosis demands so much time and money from the churches, The National Association for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis is call- ing upon all of them throughout the United States to join in an educational campaign against this disease on Tuber- culosis Day, which will be observed dur- ing the week oc November 29th, RULES FOR CONTESTANTS IN THE FIFTH ANNUAL ESSAY CONTEST OF PRIZE WINNERS’ CONTEST. 1, The contest will be held Sunday afternoon, Dee. 20th, at Bethel A.

Miss Blancka Philippsburg is a master furrier in Lubov, Russia. It is reported that Mrs. Charles Stewart Parnell is now an invalid and living in seclusion on the south coast of England. Mrs. Harry Payne Whitney will design the memorial to be erected in New York to Lillian Nordica, the opera singer. Mrs. Amelia Fowler holds the unique office of "flag mother" to the state of Massachusetts. She is charged with the care of all the banners and ensigns of the commonwealth. Despite the fact that she despises the drug, Mrs. A. Soderburg runs a smuff factory in Terre Haute, Ind., which is one of the few industries of its kind in the United States. Miss Mabel Lee, the recent winner of the first prize for oratory at the tenth annual conference of Chinese students at Amherst, Mass., is the first girl who has thus been distinguished. She is a junior at Barnard college, New York city. Echoes of the War. The submarine is war's ugly duckling.—Brooklyn Eagle. At its best war is but murder on a larger scale.—Philadelphia Inquirer. The lists of dead and injured are not doing any retreating. — Detroit Free Press. Prophecies that it would be a long and terrible war have already been fulfilled.—Washington Star. Various nations at war are now beginning to count the cost. If they had figured earlier there might have been no war.—New York World. Before the war began Belgium had more inhabitants to the square mile than any other country. And now it probably has more dead men to the square mile.—Indianapolis News. SHORT AND SHARP. There is civilization only in peace. War is always barbarism. The armies no longer rout and retreat; they only push and give. After the sword the mattock and spade and then again the plow. Might continues to make right over a considerable portion of the globe. If it wasn't for worry some people in this world would have nothing to do. If a man has no sense of humor he is sure to get funny at the wrong time. If armaments fail to guarantee peace and treaties are equally weak, what is the solution? Some men are so constituted that they would do anything for money, except work for it. The average man would prefer to have no following than to have it confined to bill collectors. A true diplomat can say something pleasant to a collector, even though he hopes never to see him again. Economists are calculating how many generations of Europeans will be engaged in paying the costs of this war. After the war is ended and the carriage is over the world will still have the scientists and the historians to deal with. When we read of an American embassy abroad being under fire there is some consolation in the reflection that the building doesn't belong to us. Household Hints. Never keep pastry in the icebox, as it soon becomes soggy. When ink is split on the carpet run a cut lemon over the stain immediately, and it will entirely disappear and not injure the carpet. To repair a tablecloth lay it quite flat and cover the hole with a piece of plain Brussels net; tack it on and darn with fine flax. When ironed it will scarcely be noticeable. When washing saucepans be sure to lay them in front of the fire for five or ten minutes so that they may dry thoroughly inside and so prevent deteriorating through getting rusty. Fashion Frills. Style is the name that is given to freak garments to induce people to regard them as wearable.—Philadelphia Record. Styles in shoes for children show good sense. It is not until they reach the age of discretion that people begin to torture their feet.—Chicago News. To our way of thinking there is no worse combination than white stockings with black shoes unless it be black shoes with white stockings.—Philadelphia Inquirer. German Gleanings Three out of every four German non agenarians are women. It is illegal in Germany for physicians to dictate prescriptions to chemists over the telephone, as fatal misunderstandings are likely to result. In a German steel works a hydraulic press that can exert a pressure of 11,000 tons has replaced a steam hammer that shook the earth for a long distance every time it was used. ```markdown ``` Blood will tell—and so will a black eye. Politeness rarely tells the whole truth. It is anomalous that Pacific islands should be prizes of war. There are a lot of things the world needs worse than twenty-one inch guns. All this talk about better babies is useless so far as those who have one is concerned. There are many things in war that look easy in theory, but do not work out in practice. All fools do not part with their money, the old proverb to the contrary notwithstanding. The aeroplane not only adds to the horrors of war, but to the imaginary horrors of war also. We have heard of some people who say they could live on music. Then it must be on note meal. Perhaps we can do without Paris modes as well as we can dispense with Wall street quotations. A strategical retreat is the knack of making your own rout read like a glorious and decisive victory. If charity were as reckless as military ambition in its expenditures the result might be confusing, but it would be far less sorrowful. The advice contained in the last words of King Charles of Roumania. "Save the fatherland, but do not shed blood." is magnanimous, but in these times it might be hard to follow. Tales of Cities. Brooklyn supplies citizens with shade trees at cost. Chicago has one homicide per month for every 110,000 inhabitants. Wooden roofs cannot now be laid in Boston owing to danger from fire. New Orleans is rapidly exterminating its rat population, and landing of rats from ships is now prevented by tin shields on cables and other devices. Vienna is the capital both of the Austro-Hungarian empire and of the Austrian half of the dual monarchy. It is the seat of the rechtsrath or Austrian parliament and one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Train and Track Electric railways in the United States own 40,470 miles of track. All steel cars run by trolley now between New York and Boston. A railway for tourists is to be built along Lake Como from Como to Chiavenna. Locomotives for the Sahara desert line have V shaped hoods in front to cut through sandstorms. To protect a Swiss railroad from frequent avalanches numerous snow retaining walls have been built on a mountain side at points from which the slides start, to hold the snow until it melts. The Cookbook When cooking apples add a pinch of salt. This makes them tender and improves the flavor. When making bread pudding, line the dish or tin with thin paste, put in the bread pudding, then cover with paste and bake in a slow oven. This is a great improvement. The best way to warm up a joint is to wrap it in thickly greased paper and keep it covered while in the oven. By having it covered thus the steam will prevent the meat from becoming hard and dry, and the joint will get hot through in less time. Pert Personals. Huerta says he does not want to return to Mexico. That old boy isn't pickled all the time.—Detroit Free Press. George Bernard Shaw says the thinking public numbers less than 50,000. Perhaps the remainder don't think he's worth thinking about. — Washington Post. The Duke of Manchester, who says that he owes less than $5,000, should have a care, or the first thing he knows folks will be saying that he isn't a regular duke—Boston Transcript. Industrial Items. Over 16,000 Danish women belong to trades unions. New York city has more than 10,000 boot and shoe workers. There are 10,000 chandelier and brass workers in Greater New York. German child labor laws define children as boys and girls less than thirteen years of age and those older who still attend school. Electric Sparks. Electric power is generally used in watchmaking. For the last quarter century the annual increase in the use of electricity has averaged 20 per cent. Doctors have decided that an electric shock kills a man by destroying the rhythm of the heart beats and acting upon the jungs like an overdose of an anaesthetic. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 7, 1914. SIRES AND SONS. Arthur H. Wilde, president of the University of Arizona, has been appointed professor of education and school administration at Boston university. P. Stewart Heintzleman, who goes to Mukden, China, as consul general, has been assistant chief of the division of far eastern affairs in the state department. Alfred P. T. von Tirpitz, chief of the admiralty of the German navy, is second in command only to Prince Henry of Prussia, the kaiser's brother. He is an officer of great experience in sea duty. The Right Hon. F. E. Smith, on whom the world depended for official war news of Great Britain, he being in charge until recently of the official press bureau, is a member of parliament, forty-two years old, self made and noted as a barrister. Dr. Theobald von Bethmann-Hollweg, imperial German chancellor, is now fifty-seven years of age. He studied law at Gottingen and practiced for about six years, after which he was made a judge at Potsdam. There he became intimate with and gained the confidence of the present emperor, with whom he had formerly been a fellow student at Bonn. Fashion Frills. As the waist line is now at the hip, high heeled shoes will again be the vogue in order that women's feet may be enabled to reach the ground.—Washington Post. If the general use of cotton is necessary to the country's welfare the public may even be reconciled to the reappearance of the old fashioned calico dress.—Washington Star. A fashion note predicts the decline of the slim girl, but we can't see how the slim girl, as we have known her recently, can decline much further without disintegrating entirely.—Philadelphia Inquirer. Pert Personals Among the unaccounted for are Doc Cook and Victoriano Huerta.—Baltimore American. Doubtless if the Boston fans had their way it would be Johnny Forevers.—Pittsburgh Press. General von Kluck should be able to land a nice postmastership when this wretched business is over.—Columbia State. John Lind, it is said, is "resting in a sanitarium." Perhaps it will be learned when he comes out that he has recovered his voice.—Philadelphia Inquirer. The Royal Box. King George of England employs 1,000 servants. The wife of the crown prince of Sweden is the Princess of Connaught, daughter of the Duke of Connaught, present governor general of the Dominion of Canada. Born in 1868, the present czar ascended the throne in 1894 and a month later married Princess Alexandra Alix, daughter of Ludwig IV., grand duke of Hesse, by whom he has four daughters and a son. State Lines. Pennsylvania mines one-tenth of the world's coal. Wisconsin has 10,000,000 acres awaiting settlement. Indiana this year has had one fire for every 435-inhabitants. The forests of Florida contain 175 different kinds of wood. Virginia furnishes about 95 per cent of our supply of soapstone. Last year California recorded one marriage every seventeen minutes. When money talks it never lacks an audience. Wealth doesn't bring happiness, neither does poverty. Arkansas is Arkansaw, but Warsaw is not spelled Warsas. That idea of having an apple day will strike many as a pippin. Some men are born with black eyes and others have to fight for them. The love of justice is in most men only fear of suffering injustice. When some folks are very happy the fear that it won't last worries them. It is pretty tough on a captured city to be shelled and then have to shell out. Unfortunately, the trenches dug in Europe cannot be utilized for another Panama canal. A war prevention day might prove as useful in Europe as a fire prevention day in America. Love is nine parts agony, according to a woman writer; but think of the one part that isn't! Is there nothing the war will not affect? Here it has cut out the weekly weather reports from Washington. The quiet and effectual way in which Spain is keeping out indicates that bull fights aren't so awfully inhumane after all. Being able to read other people's minds might be all right, but few of us would care to have somebody read our minds. ```markdown ``` YOU will find just w Hats-Beautiful plumes, flowers and Special values at $2.98, Little Girls' and Misse YOU will find just what you want in this assortment of Dress Hats--Beautiful combinations of ostrich plumes, flowers and fur--every one a pattern. $5.00 Special values at $2.98, $3.98 and Little Girls' and Misses' Trimmed Dressy Hats, $2.50 values at 98c SAILORS You will need one of these sible sailors.

Portugal has only large cities, Lisbon and Oporto. The human skeleton, exclusive of teeth, consists of 208 bones. The first warship to pass through the Panama canal was the Peruvian destroyer, Teniente Rodrigueues. One-third of the world's supply of platinum is required in dentistry and another third for electrical purposes. The forks of New York are said to be losing $5,000 a day because of the war, as there are no orders for steamer boquets. The first voyage of an American vessel around the world was made by the ship Columbia from Boston, starting Sept. 30, 1787. A schooner in Amesbury in 1805 and used in the war of 1812 as a privateer still is in active service in the Maine coasting trade. Recent Inventions. Barbs on the point and shaft of a new nail make it hold as securely as a screw. To facilitate milking there has been invented a substantial can that also serves as a stool, the milk being drawn into a long necked funnel. In newly invented shackles convicts sent out to do road work can walk around at will. If they try to run the mechanism locks their legs automatically. The heart of an average man makes about one three-thousandth of a volt of electricity at every beat, and an instrument sensitive enough to measure it has been invented. The Royal Box. Japan's empress is making bandages for the Red Cross nurses. The czar of Russia is the only European monarch whose life is not insured in a British life insurance office. Grand Duchess Marie Adelaide, ruler of the independent nation of Luxemburg, is only twenty years of age. Luxemburg was recently invaded by the German army. King Albert of Belgium is the son of the late Prince Philip of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and of Flanders and of the Princess Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen. He is the nephew of Leopold II. of Belgium, whom he succeeded. Fashion Frills All is not gold that glitters—we refer to the fall coats for men—Pittsburgh Press. The new wraps are described as very military, but, of course, in neutral tints—Baltimore Sun. A man's clothes are in style as long as they are wearable; a woman's, wearable as long as they are in style—Youth's Companion. Before you men begin making face-low remarks about the fall headgear of the women have a look at the bizarre shapes of the new men's soft and stiff hats—St. Paul Dispatch. For M Address 1 Nominate Address Signed Address andidate counts 5,000 votes. Names not be divulged. Address all com- st Department, 3439 South State St. Is life worth living? Not to the fellow who argues that it is not. Did you ever know a rich young woman to marry a poor old man? In traveling the road to success some people always want to cut across lots. The "safety first" reform does not get much attention in Europe at present. Men are like fish. Neither would get into trouble if they kept their mouths shut. Old ideas die hard. A dispatch from Holland speaks of "the concert of the powers." In the matter of poverty's joys the majority of us are overjoyed most of the time. The man who borrows trouble doesn't have to worry over insistent demands for its return. The world old question of how the other half lives is fast being answered in the negative. The next crop of European tourists will have a fine assortment of new ruins to inspect. It often happens that a critical point in life comes to us disguised as an everyday incident. The Hague is now located as a small section of peace influence entirely surrounded by war. A man with a good conscience is not afraid when there is a knock at the door at midnight. The optimist is a welcome visitor, but the pessimist's room is worth more than his company. Those armies, it appears, are like the lamb in the lion's cage—they have to be renewed frequently. If everybody at all times said everything that came to his mind there would be no more friendship. Wherever a house is being built all the neighbors disagree upon how it could have been better planned. Jamaica has had a slight earthquake by way of contributing its quota to the general disturbances of the day. That new king of Albania ought to insist on the regular two weeks' notification clause in his contract. Those deep trenches are great things for the Scotch highlanders. They save so much of them from exposure. It seems to be impossible to find a place to have a fight in Europe where there had not been a fight before. Outend is thinking regretfully of the time when efforts to reach it were made mainly by pleasure seekers. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 7, 1914. DAMES AND DAUGHTERS For special devotion and competency Miss Eleanor S. Kelly has been honored with the British Royal Red Cross. Evelyn Rich, born in Boston the other day, is already a great-aunt, her father having two great-grandchildren. He is seventy-four. Dr. S. Josephine Baker, head of New York city's bureau of child hygiene, says that foreign born mothers are the mainstay of America's population. Mrs. Madeleine Force Astor, widow of John Jacob Astor, who lost his life in the Titanic disaster, recently completed a course in the New York Training School For Deaconesses. Misses Marie Goelz and Ella Miller spelled, without failing, 1,500 words in a contest held in a commercial school in East St. Louis. The contest began at 8 o'clock with twelve girls and two boys, and at 11 o'clock misses Goelz and Miller were left, neither having tripped up on a single word. Town Topics. Paterson now calls herself "the Lyons of America" and pronounces it "ilons," not "lee-ong."—Boston Globe. However, if Baltimore should ever be reduced by bombardment she could rebuild with her marble doorsteps.—Washington Post. New York is boasting that it has more young people than any other city. When its inhabitants get old enough to know better they move out—Pittsburgh Dispatch. While the weather sharps are predicting a "white Christmas" back east, we venture the prediction that Los Angeles will enjoy its usual summery Christmas, with baseball, bathing and all other outdoor sports.—Los Angeles Express. PITH AND POINT. Eternal vigilance continues the price of neutrality. Worry is part of the price a man pays for living. It is always those who are ready who suffer in delays. A pessimist is a man of little faith in his country or himself. However, no one is taking a joy ride in those war automobiles. A woman says a man must marry in order to attain perfection. It is easier to preach by the mile than to practice by the inch. The greatest truths are the simplest, and so are the greatest men. It's a waste of time for even the photographer to tell some people to look pleasant. Efficiency in war is much like other theoretical efficiency. It's perfect until put into operation. The submarine may be a low down "sneak," but it is the most effective war vessel yet invented. If we don't increase our export trade after the war it will be our own fault. Everybody that we are expected to trade with appears to be rooting for us. This nation's net debt is $1,061,752,079. Well, anyway, let's be thankful the consumption of gunpowder isn't raising it at the rate of $5,000,000 per dlem. Flippant Flings. If any more states go dry the slogan will read, "See America Thirst."—Philadelphia Ledger. But wasn't the Venus de Milo the first to start this disarmament propaganda?—Columbia State. "Will Virginia continue to grow mint?" Will paradise continue to grow angels, and June to produce roses, and Baltimore the most beautiful women in creation?—Baltimore Sun. Now comes the discovery that Wisconsin equals Europe in the quality of its limburger, roquefort and camembert cheese. Buy a bale of cheese!—Spokane Spokesman-Review. Telephone Calls. Christiania's present telephone system is to be transformed into an automatic one. A newly invented sound trumpet for the telephone makes it unnecessary to lift the receiver to the ear. There are nine telephones to every hundred inhabitants in this country. The telephone is used in this country more than any other. So efficient is a new telephone transmitter that magnifies the voice that when one was submerged under water in Chicago conversation in the room around it was heard clearly in New York. Echoes of the War. In the lists of casualities of this war, truth occupies a conspicuous place.—Albany Journal. Kitchener's preparations for a three year struggle begin to look sensible.—Brooklyn Eagle. Satan may yet sue General Sherman for defamation of character because of what the general said of war.—Chicago News. Bernard Shaw's theory is that the way to abolish war is to make it as horrible as possible. If that theory is sound, war is being abolished all right.—Kansas City Journal. SIRES AND SONS. General Joffre is well known as a distinguished mathematician. Frank E. Mallett, American vice consul at Budapest, speaks Hungarian fluently as well as several other languages and has a wide acquaintance in Hungary, where he has been stationed since 1906. The Rev. Dr. Francis T. Clark, president of the International Society of Christian Endeavor, who recently celebrated his sixty-third birthday, founded the Christian Endeavor society in 1881, when he was pastor of a Congregational church in Portland, Me. General Ivanov, whose name has been mentioned as an army commander in Galicia, commanded the famous Third Silberian corps, which General Kuropatkin flung too late against Nogi at Mukden. He also came through that war with a good reputation as a fighter and a leader. Field Marshal Baron Colmar von der Goltz, regarded as the controlling genius of Germany's war machine and known as one of the most scientific army leaders in the world, was a pupil of Von Moltke. It is said he has specialized for forty years on Germany's plan of campaign in event of war with Russia. Field Marshal von der Goltz is now turned seventy. Town Topics. Baltimore is busy, contented and prosperous, thank you. — Baltimore American. Pittsburgh scorns the suggestion that it should follow suit and become Pittsgrad. — San Francisco Chronicle. St. Louis is to have a smoke consumer factory. We regret to say that it has the smoke. — St. Louis Republic. One trouble with Chicago is there are too many persons around entitled to write "ex-convict" before their names. — Chicago Herald. Great Britain's request for a thousand chauffeurs to serve at the front ought to interest the fraternity in New York, where they are about as fierce as they make them. — New York World. Flippant Flings. The acme of optimism—watching the coal man shovel the load into the cellar with a smile on your face.—Milwaukee Sentinel. Edison says that the people of the future will sleep less. He must be going to invent a three sided phonograph record.—Detroit Free Press. Ambassadors formerly grumbling because they couldn't rent a palace are now fairly content with a comfortable hole in the ground.—Washington Post. "The United States," says the New York Evening World. "is going to smelt its own tin." It is also going to tin its own smelts and label them sardines.—Springfield Union. Current Comment. Happy is the country that can launch a "Do your Christmas shopping early" slogan.—Chicago News. Another of life's little ironies: Pennsylvania's great gun works are located at Bethelehem.—Columbia State. More provisions and fewer provisional presidents would probably suit the great mass of Mexicans much better.—Chicago Herald. America has regained a trade balance. But this is a case where we can't afford to let things slide, even when coming our way.—New York Sun. Simple Salve. A teaspoonful of lemon juice in a small cup of black coffee is a safe remedy for bilious headache. Never enter a sickroom while you are in a perspiration, as the minute you become cool your pores begin to absorb. To stop hiccup give the patient a teaspoonful of granulated sugar and vinegar. If this does not afford instant relief repeat the dose. PITH AND POINT. Sooner or later the highflier must pay up or come down. If you don't agree with the other fellow you are not neutral. Now the French call it eau de farina. A scent by any name will smell as sweet. Kings are pretty safe in going to the front. Nobody wants to run away with their thrones. With the energy expended in digging trenches the armies could have dug many useful canals. The fiction of the war will be found quite interesting, even after it is disentangled from the facts. Hereafter Waterloo will be pointed out as the place where a brisk skirmish occurred during the Napoleonic riots. Cosmetics have gone up in price. Those foreigners $nd it impossible to make face and gun powder at the same time. It looks as if the laurels in the western field of the war would go to the soldiers that live longest in insanitary trenchea. For the sake of the peace of all of us it is to be hoped that no wild lead will knock any more vowels out of the Russian language. The French army surgeon now rallying from ninety-seven shell wounds probably is wondering what became of the other three pieces. LINCOLN STATE BANK OF CHICAGO 3105-07 SOUTH STATE STREET CHICAGO, ILL.

F. CODOZOE 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 northwest, 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 helmast 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 snake course in a general northwestern direction. It appears likely that will facilitate adjustment that would be feasible. HARRY J.

In Which Juvenile Logic Comes to the Front In Unexpected Fashion. Who can tell the working of children's minds or how, all unwittingly, we may make ourselves appear unjust in our dealings toward them? This was brought home to Mr. Heewit the other day as he took his young hopeful, aged six, for a constitutional. The youngster was evidently thinking hard, for he was silent—which was unusual. "Daddy," he said, looking up suddenly, "I think I want to get married!" "Do you, my son? And who to, may I ask?" answered the proud parent, looking at him, "I want to marry granny." "Do you, indeed? And do you think I would let you marry my mother—eh?" "Well, why shouldn't I?" retorted the tender logician. "You married mine, didn't you?"—London Answers. Running No Chances A lady entertaining an important guest was giving final instructions to her new maid just arrived from the country. "Now, Polly," she said, "in the morning take a jug of hot water up to Mr. Chumleigh's room. Be sure not to forget it." The lady thought no more of the matter until the next day, when at noon she remarked casually: "You took that hot water up to Mr. Chumleigh's room this morning, I suppose." Polly beamed. "Why, yes, mum, I was so frightened I'd forget it I took it up overnight."—London Standard. Her Preference Young Mawks had decided to enlist and go to war, and his wife was objecting. "But, darling," he argued, "even if I were killed, just think how fine it would be to be the widow of a hero!" "Oh, no, Wilfred," pleaded the young wife earnestly, her mind reverting to a familiar proverb; "I would rather be the wife of a live jackass than a dead lion."—Judge. Narrow It Down. "Yes, we lost all our baggage abroad. It was piled high on the plaza before Cologne cathedral the last we saw of it." "How much baggage?" "Why, one trunk." "What was in it?" "N nothing. We emptied it before we left it. But it was a perfectly good trunk."—Cleveland Plain Dealer "Can't your wife a tride abrupt, not to say harash, in her manner of addressing you?" asked the old friend who was taking dinner. "That's all right," replied Mr. Cumrox. "It's perfectly understood. My wife talks to me that way for the sake of the moral effect on the cook"—Washington Star. Mr. Lobb—What on earth is that? Mr. Lobb—This, my dear, is a harom- cha, a present from our own at college Mr. Lobb—Oh, I've heard of them! don't the dear boy thoughtful? Which way do we screw it when we want the weather to be fine?—London Tibia. THE BROAD AX THE BROAD AX PUBLISHED WEEKLY.

Mrs. Tillie Schauerer of St. Louis walks in her sleep almost every night. Florence King of Chicago is a candidate for associate judge of the municipal court. Mrs. Frank Rowell of Boston is well and happy at one hundred and four, and she doesn't deny her age. Mrs. Agnes Hovener Timme, owner of the Milwaukee baseball club, is a remarkably fine singer and is studying for grand opera. Mrs. Harriet C. Adams, who was born at Stockton, Cal., is probably more versed on Latin American affairs than any other woman in the United States, she having covered over 40,000 miles in Central and South America, reaching every country and many points before unseen by a white woman. Fashion Frills. The fall styles in men's hats furnish the only drawback to our permanent neutrality.-Brooklyn Eagle. Some of the new fall hats for men indicate that, however gloomy Europe may be this year, Americans are going to be as gay as the chromatic scale will permit.-Washington Star. The dressmakers propose "war styles" for women's clothes. We may as well settle back and await the Belgian blouse, the Austrian cape and the moulk bombazine.-Detroit Free Press. After announcing that the war would make America independent of Paris styles the dressmakers began designing dresses with military trimmings, thereby making them more European than ever.-St. Louis Republic. Wedding Invitations If you are invited to the church function only you need not reply to the invitation. Should you receive cards to a breakfast or luncheon or the invitation bear the letters R. S. V. P. a reply is necessary. 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 invitation by posting the day of the marriage 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 firt all the time. Don't expect all the men to wait on you. Don't argue about the game. Don't laugh at the bad play of beginners. You yourself were once a novice. Don't dress in a way that will necessitate your paying more attention to your toilet than to your game. Don't think that your partner will appreciate you if you leave him to do your share as well as his own. Don't lose badly. If you are disappointed conceal it bravely and try to rejoice with your victor rather than console with yourself. Don't make excuses for playing badly. They are intensely boring and not a bit convincing. Mutual Service A hostess has a right to expect each guest to do his or her share toward contributing to the pleasure of all other guests, this in the first place. Then she also has a right to expect a guest to conform as far as possible to rules concerning meal hours, etc., that are adopted by the family; otherwise there is apt to be a great deal of discomfort, and the result very few if any invitations to "come again." Overcoming Shyness An older woman can aid so many young girls by trying to draw them out and by helping them to talk. There is no reason why any child should go through agonies of subtraction through atyness if her mother is of the right kind and knows how to train her in the right way.
