EDWARD D. GREEN HAS VIEW OF HIS FRIEND JESSE BINGA, THE BANKER, AND REAL ESTATE OWNER, ALONE MAY JUMP INTO THE FIGHT. RESOLUTIONS PASSED GALLING OR ORGANIZATION AND ITS EXTENDED WHEEL IN LINE FOR OSCAR Without the least question about it there are mighty hot times ahead for the Afro-American Republican politicians or would-be politicians or statesmen residing in the second ward for already the Aldermanic fight or contest among them is beginning to get very hot right on the start, and if all signs do not fail it will become awfully bitter among the various candidates long before the primaries which will be held the latter part of February, 1915. At no time have we ever claimed to know any too much but at the same time it would seem to a blind man up a tall tree that in the final round up or down that the fight will narrow down between Hon. Oscar DePriest and attorney Louis B. Anderson, both of these gentlemen are more than eminently fitted for the position for Alderman' of the second ward for well onto 16 years Mr. Anderson honorably served as assistant county attorney and while serving the public in that capacity he made thousands of friends among both races who would be greatly delighted to see him land in the city council from the second ward; he is a taxpayer and being familiar with every nook and corner in the city hall he would be right at home as one of the city fathers. For four years Mr. DePriest who is successfully engaged in the real estate business at 3439 South State street, who owns considerable good income property in his own name with great credit to himself and to the race which he represented served as one of the commissioners of Cook County, that is, from 1904 to 1908, as such he made a splendid record; he was a member of the finance committee and assisted to devise the ways and means for raising and expending the money for the construction of the new county building. Anyone in passing it can observe his name engraved on one of the corner stones of that building and it makes not the slightest difference whether anyone likes him or dislikes him, his name will SLAYER OF COLORED PREACHER GUILTY WALTER WILLIAMS GOES TO PRISON FOR DEATH OF THE REV.

It is said that the Hon. Edward D. Green has or will withdraw from the race or fight in favor of his friend, Oscar DePriest. The following are some of the many Colored candidates for alderman from the second ward aside from those already mentioned: Robert W. Lacy, Henry S. Goins, the Hon. Edward H. Wright, W. A. Wallace, the pie man, Col. Milton T. Bailey, real estate dealer and secret society man, Charles Griffin, who made the race for alderman against Alderman Hugh Norris the past spring, Col. William Randolph Cowan, who met with defeat at the primaries for alderman last spring, Capt. James S. Nelson, Morris Lewis, Thomas M. Grant, Dr. W. H. Davis, who made an unsuccessful race against Maj. Robert R. Jackson at the September primaries for the nomination for member of the Legislature from the 3rd Senatorial District, in addition to these Jesse Binga, the banker and prosperous real estate dealer, Col. John R. Marshall and George H. Jackson who owns or controls a number of flat buildings on the south side may also be induced to jump into the Colored end of the aldermanic fight in the second ward. On Thursday evening a good old time Republican love feast was held at Rodgers' Cafe, 21 East 33rd St., to celebrate the recent Republican victory and in the midst of the feasting and love making resolutions were passed calling on the second ward Republican organization and its executive committee to fall or wheel in line for Oscar DePriest for alderman from that ward. One thing is certain and that is that no Colored man should seek the nomination for alderman in the second ward who is not a taxpayer and an upright, honest, straightforward citizen. ed preacher, who died on May 23 of a fractured skull. The injury was sustained in a fight. The jury recommended that Williams be not pardoned until he had served fourteen years. Williams should have been sent up for life for his brutal drunken attack on Rev. Johnson, who was not doing one thing to him at the time he dealt him the powerful blows on his head which were the direct cause of his death.—Editor. CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 14, 1914 J. B. HON. OSCAR DE PRIEST Ex-Commissioner of Cook County, successful business man, extensive property owner and Republican candidate for Alderman from the Second Ward, who is heartily willing to support any Afro-American who may be selected to make the race for that position by the Second Ward Republican organization. KEEPING WELL. No boy or girl likes to be sick. Neither do grown-ups for that matter. There are some kinds of diseases that we can do much to avoid; others, there is nothing much that we can do in the way of protection. Among those diseases that boys and girls can do a great deal to lessen their chances of getting them are diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles. All of these are very contagious, "catching," as we often say, and for most part are conveyed from one person to another by the matter that comes from the nose, throat or mouth. Now, if the school children of Chicago could all be taught about these three diseases alone, and then follow these few simple directions, they in large part would be able to avoid having diphtheria, scarlet fever and measles. by the attending physician or by the department inspectors. In order that the health of a community may be properly protected, it is important that all good citizens work with the health officials in carrying out and enforcing all of the regulations that are made for that purpose. And the better this is done, the better it will be for all concerned. Provide the children with tooth brushes and insist that they use them night and morning. MUNICIPAL JUDGE RAFFERTY DISPLAYS COLOR LINE PRE-JUDICE. The first part of this week Charles Felix La Fond, a Colored man 59 years old residing at 3535 S. Wabash avenue, who is a porter, was brought before Keep away from children who are suffering with severe colds, complain of sore throats, and who say they don't feel well. Without being rude or unkind, you need not play with them or exchange gum, candy, fruit or food of any kind. Do not borrow or lend pencils at any time; and never put even your own pencil in your mouth. Do not visit with playmates who are not well; they may be coming down with any one of the diseases that we are talking about; and as a rule, the early stages are the most dangerous. Do not go into any house where there is a warning sign posted on the outside. The only safe rule is to not expose yourself knowingly. Take no chances. The above are a few simple suggestions which if closely followed will mean a whole lot more protection for the boys and girls of Chicago. Of course, if some one of the children in a family get sick with either diphtheria or scarlet fever, then there are certain regulations that must be followed and which are enforced by the Department of Health through its medical health officers. One of the first of these regulations is to establish and maintain quarantine, which means that the public must be kept out and the sick person kept in. In most cases, the members of the family who are found to be free from infection are permitted to come and go; all of course, depending upon the house being so arranged that they may not come in contact with the patient. But children from a home in which there is a case of either diphtheria or scarlet fever will not be permitted to attend school, Sunday-school or places of public gatherings of any kind. Detailed instructions as to the regulations to be observed in each case according to existing conditions are given either Here they are: successful business man, extensive pro for Alderman from the Second Ward, Afro-American who may be selected to the Second Ward Republican organization. by the attending physician or by the department inspectors.

MUNICIPAL JUDGE RAFFERTY DISPLAYS COLOR LINE PRE- JUDICE. The first part of this week Charles Felix La Fond, a Colored man 59 years old residing at 3535 S. Wabash avenue, who is a porter, was brought before Judge Rafferty at the Desplaines Street station charged with annoying Miss Francis Stewart, a young 17-year-old White girl, who resides with her parents at 2830 N. Spaulding avenue, who is employed as a stenographer at the Union station. It appears that La Fond had written Miss Stewart several insulting letters or letters considered indecent, one or two of which were read by Judge Rafferty and after fining La Fond $200. for disorderly conduct Judge Rafferty started in to lecture him, reminding him that "it was a lucky thing for you that this did not happen in a Southern State." Those remarks on the part of the judge were uncalled for. He is further quoted in the daily press as saying, "I am sorry that the law only allows maximum penalty of $200 and costs on a disorderly charge if I could make it more in your case I would." Judge Rafferty was seemingly very anxious to slop over in this instance and give a full exhibition of his Color line prejudice. If he is possessed of a fair spirit or judicial mind, he should have said to the prisoner that any man, Black or White 59 or 60 years of age, who would become so depraved as to annoy or write insulting letters to young girls regardless of their nationality or color, ought to be fined $200 and sent to the bridewell from one to three years would have been sufficient proof that he was able to rise above race prejudice and that he was unwilling to vent his racial spleen against a Colored man, simply on account of his color for overstepping the bounds of decency.

No.8 PAGE TWO Woman's World Romance of Red Cross Duchess an Outcome of the European War. A. MILLICENT, DOWAGER DUCHESS OF SUTHERLAND. An interesting incident of the war in Europe is the announcement of the second marriage of Millicent, dowager Duchess of Sutherland. The bridegroom is Major Percy Desmond Fitzgerald of the Eleventh British hussars, and the romance is said to be a direct development of the work of the duchess at the front. She was connected with the Red Cross, and when Brussels was taken by the Germans she was one of those who remained to care for the wounded. She expects shortly to publish a book of her war experiences for the benefit of the Red Cross fund. The wedding took place recently while the duchess and Major Fitzgerald were on leave in England. The Duchess of Sutherland is the daughter of the fourth Earl of Rosslyn and the widow of the fourth Duke of Sutherland. Her sisters, the Countess of Westmorland, the Countess of Warwick and Lady Angela Forbes, are noted for their beauty. As Duchess of Sutherland she did much to develop the success of the Potteries district in England and has been a leader in many other philanthropic movements. She is the author of several books. During her late husband's life she entertained splendidly and was a leader of the smart set. Her son, the present Duke of Sutherland, is serving at the front. He married a famous English beauty, Lady Eileen Butler, in 1912. Charming Gift For Invalid. If you have an invalid friend over whose prospective Christmas gift you are puzzling make a note of the clock illustrated here. These clocks come in white and a tinted composition resembling marble to match the furnishings of the bedroom. The figures on the face of the 11 12 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 ILLUMINATED CLOCK. clock can be seen across the room even in a dim light. Illuminated clocks may be bought. If the invalid has medicine to take at night often he or she may take it without calling upon the nurse for a glance at the clock will tell them the time. Then, too, wakeful people like to know how the time is passing, and the illuminated clock face enables them to do so. A note in fur fashions which is sure to bring joy to the heart of the woman who has only a small dress allowance is that, while a good deal of fur is used as a trimming, no large pieces are in vogue. For instance, from a last year's muff it will be quite possible this season to make a muff and a "boker," the name given to the small round piece of fur which encircles the throat, thus tightly in a smart ribbon how or ends in a big velvet flower. Muffs are smaller—in fact, many are so small that they hardly cover the hands. A small, round muff and a tiny "choke" are considered the acme of Milady's Mirror Cultivating Plump Hands. The appearance of the hands is an index to the general health, and a physician looks them over when he examines the pulse. One of the best ways of retaining or acquiring fresh, plump looking hands is by means of oil baths. Almond oil or, lacking this, olive oil is the best. This is warmed and applied after the hands have been thoroughly washed or scrubbed, rinsed in clear water and all the moisture removed. A little cologne may be added to make the work somewhat more agreeable. Go over the hands and wrists and crevices around the nails, covering the entire surface. Take five minutes or longer for each hand. The more oil the pores absorb the more they need this nourishing food. This treatment continued every night or every other night for two weeks will certainly make a vast improvement in the hands. Hollows gradually fill in, the skin becomes refined and soft, the nails cease to appear dry and crack off, and the cuticle is more easily pushed back to display the delicate half moon. That unbecoming sallow, wrinkled appearance gives way to a firm, smooth white skin, which gives encouragement to the possessor. Thin, anaemic women should always nourish their hands in this manner. Good fattening creams or cocoa butter may be substituted or alternated with the oils. Astringents in the way of tonics should be used to further tighten the tissues, and for this purpose lemon juice may be employed, or the lotion containing honey, lemon juice and cologne, one ounce each. Protruding Wrist Bones. Ugly, protruding wrist bones often disfigure an otherwise rather pretty arm and hand. Where the bones are too large there can be no help except to make plump the flesh about them, and for this nothing is better than almond oil or cocoa butter. Cocoa butter can be had at any drug store. It comes usually in square or oblong cakes, although some is put up in round stick shape in a neat tin case and covered with tin foll, easy to tuck into a hand bag or toilet case. To use warm the end of the stick or cake by the flame of a candle, if nothing else is handy, or even by the slight heat of a couple of matches—anything to make it just soft enough to adhere to the palms of the hands. Have the skin ready—clean, soft and warm and dry—run in the cocoa butter thoroughly and leave it on to absorb, which it does very readily, more so than any skin food or cold cream. An objection has been made that it causes a growth of superfluous hair. If this is feared finish with a spray of good cologne, well and thoroughly applied. An atomizer costing 50 cents will last a lifetime for the purpose. If the wrists are made plump it stands to reason that the joints cannot protrude in ugly fashion. It is usually lack of flesh that causes the thing in the first place. And the same may be said of the elbow. Where the joint is sharp, by increasing the plumpness of the flesh on the arm the bones will not appear so prominently. Whitening the Neck. Brown necks are not half so attractive as white ones. Try this way of whitening: First wash well with hot water and good soap; then massage with cold cream. While the cream is still on the skin rub with half a freshly cut lemon; then massage again. Afterward wipe quite dry with a soft rag or towel. Repeat the treatment night and morning for some weeks and you will be surprised to find how much whiter your neck has become. Care of the Mouth. In the cleansing toilet the care of the mouth, throat and nostrils should not be neglected. Few educated people neglect to brush the teeth before going to bed, but they are less careful in regard to the mouth and throat. The gums, tongue and roof of the mouth should be washed daily with a roll of absorbent cotton and the throat well gargled. If this rule were always followed throat troubles would be rare in the opinion of throat and ear specialists. Strengthening the Eyebrows The following ointment will strengthen the growth and improve the appearance of the eyebrows: Red vasseline two ounces, tincture of cantharides one-eighth of an ounce, oil of lavender fifteen drops and oil of rosemary fifteen drops. Mix thoroughly. Apply to the eyebrows with a small brush once a day. Be careful that none gets into the eyes, as it will inflame them, as all oils do. The Sleep That Counts When you go to bed-if you are looking for beauty sleep-you should fall asleep right away. The beauty sleeper, the one who wakes up looking refreshed, will fall asleep the minute her head touches the pillow. She will fall into a slumber, heavy and dreamless, and she will waken in the morning of her own accord. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. NOVEMBER 14, 1914. W SMART BASQUED SUIT. Basqued effects are favored even for street costumes. An example of this is shown in the picture. This suit is of dark blue crepe de chine, with basque and accordion plaited skirt. Worn with it is a velvet stove pipe hat adorned with white love birds and black and white ribbon. Arrayed in a gown of this sort, milady, wending her way to church to hear the Thanksgiving sermon, would be assured of the fact that she was modishly and elegantly attired. FUR COATS. Handsome New Models That Are Comparatively Inexpensive. Many of the most charming new fur coats are of black pony skin, which as now treated, has an exquisite毛 surface, closely resembling the costly broadtail. Moreover, these coats are not at all expensive, considering their handsome appearance and well wearing qualities. Some are finished with collars and cuffs of ermine, the tails arranged as a fringe or with less costly white fur, velvet or plush. Other long coats and cloaks are of electric seal, musquash and mole; also of striped lynx and clivet, though these pelts are rather too barbarous looking for the taste of most women. Scarfs are longer and broader than ever, and muffs are either huge in size or tiny, while lovely little crossover pelerines are of mole or seal or of velvet trimmed with fur. Vogue of the Apron Tunic. It is odd how some styles that never become popular persist for several years. There is the apron, tunic, for instance, at the present time. Two years ago we had a glimpse of a few imported lingerie models with apron tunics quite like real aprons, in the front of the skirts. Cheruit's apron tunic last year was another manifestation of the same idea. Now, there are long tulle aprons on metallic evening frocks. Sometimes these aprons are longer than the foundation of heavy metallic silk and edged with metal fringe, monkey fur or flowers. HOW TO COOK MEATS. Saute tough meats to keep the juices in and then stew until tender. Serve with thick gravy. Roasted meats have a better flavor than baked ones. The meat should be first placed near the coals to sear and then drawn back to cook at lower heat. Remember that the success of frying depends upon two things—having enough fat to completely cover the articles cooked in it and having the fat smoking hot. Dry or tough meats can often be made tender and of a good flavor by braising. They are shut in a close covered pot with salt pork, stock and chopped vegetables and cooked slowly in the confined steam. Meats for broiling should be cut very thin and turned over a clear hot fire as often as one counts ten. When the puffed appearance of broiled meat begins to disappear it means that the moisture is evaporating and the meat will be hard and dry. When baking meats the oven should be very hot at first, and then the heat should be slowly lowered to allow the cooking to be done slowly. Keep a piece of asbestos on hand to interpose between a dish and the bottest part of the oven when there is danger of burning. ```markdown ``` A BLUE AFTERNOON COSTUME. The gown pictured here would be a most attractive one to wear at the Thanksgiving matinee dinner or family reunion. The gown is of blue taffeta and has a quaint basqued effect of tapestry figured gabardine whose scalloped hem falls below the hips. A novel feature of the basque is the fact that it is laced up the back. The low collar is finished with a narrow ruffle of batiste edge with lace. The deep circular tunic and draped skirt are of the plain dark blue taffeta. LINGERIE PILLOWS. Inexpensive and Easy Made Trifles Suitable For Christmas Gifts. The daintiness of the lingerie pillow-slip grows more apparent each season, and no couch full of satin and velvet cushions is complete without the addition of at least one of these confections. In shape they are long and narrow, square, heart shaped, diamond shaped, octagonal or star shaped, with and without flounces. They are of fine handkerchief linen, cambric and marquisette. One is decorated with Venetian embroidery, with medallion lace figures and point de venise lace finishing the edges. Another has fillet lace motifs and flowers. Some are done on fine hand woven linen. If initials are used they are not large and are surrounded by the empire wreath. Owing to the tendency of certain shoe buckles, jeweled or of silver, to catch in chiffon and lace skirts effort was made by their designers to produce something equally as attractive without the objectionable sharp points and edges. The result is the double loop lace shoe bow, particularly remarkable for the delicacy and beauty of the dentelle work, which stands out in clear relief against the density of a black background. These are worn at the side of the instep. EMBROIDERED DECORATION A Charming Design Which Can Be Used For Many Purposes. A design for embroidering wreaths suitable for decorating cushion covers, table runners, bedspreads and pillow shams or rolls and for use as initial frames is pictured here. Patterns for stamping three wreaths, one nine inches, two six inches in IN COLORS OR WHITE depth, are included. The ribbon effect and leaves of the pattern are to be worked in solid embroidery, the stems outlined, and the dots may be worked as eyelets or solidly. Use mercerized floss or silk, either in colors or in white. This May Manton pattern will be promptly forwarded to you by mail if 10 cents and number, 608, are sent to this office. If in haste send an additional two cent stamp for letter postage. When order- ing use coupon. No..... Size..... Name..... Address.... Points for Mothers Helping the Shy Girl. The common tendency of the girl in the formative period is toward shyness. Almost every girl whose body is growing beyond her control is so fearful of attracting attention in public that she wishes to remain as inconspicuous as possible, and any sudden remark addressed to her is apt to cover her with confusion. It is interesting to note how many forms shyness takes. The most easily recognized is, of course, that which causes the girl to blush, stammer and be at an utter loss for words when addressed by any stranger. Another form, which is just as common but seldom recognized, seems to oblige the girl to talk incessantly in a high pitched unnatural voice until the cause for embarrassment has been removed. This form is far more unfortunate than the former, for the girl is usually misjudged as extremely forward and boisterous, whereas her intense confusion is really the fault. This form of shyness is almost always a consequence of ridicule. One girl, who at twenty-three is just beginning to recover from this habit of highly excited, ceaseless chatter when embarrassed, told an intimate friend recently that for years she actually suffered when she met strangers simply because her family used to make such fun of her shyness when she was fourteen. Thanksgiving at School. A plan to lessen the gloom for the little schoolgirl away, from home is a packet of homesickness medicine sent from home to reach the school on Thanksgiving eve. The case for holding the "powders" can be made of linen or silk in needlework fashion, folding over and tied with ribbon. The outside should bear the inscription: "Homesickness powder. One every two hours. To be opened on Thanksgiving. Dr. Home." When opened on Thanksgiving morning the case reveals eight good sized manilla envelopes carefully sealed. Each is marked with the hour for which it is intended. as, to be taken at 8 a. m. after rising, to be taken at 10 a. m. dry, to be taken at noon with a glass of water, to be taken at 2 p. m. with a grain of salt. The contents of each envelope are a funny talk in the form of a letter by some member of the family illustrated by sketches or clippings as appropriate to the subject, home jokes, home news and fun, nonsense, verse and even tiny gifts attached to the sheets all go to make up a sure remedy for homesickness. A Country Thanksgiving: The ideal Thanksgiving is spent in the country. If father and mother and the children can journey to the old home to keep the festival with grandfather and grandmother and meet all the married brothers and sisters and their families, why, that is as it should be, provided everything is harmonious. But, unfortunately, sometimes when, as it were, the stage is all set for a family love feast, the discordant "inlaws" and too often the members of the family themselves spoil everything by irritability and foolish exactions, and what should be a season of good cheer and good will nearly degenerates into a family row. Poor grandpa and grandma are worn out trying to keep the peace among the different sets of grandchildren and are thankful when the whole crew have driven to the station and they can once more settle down to peace and quiet. Wakeful Babies. Teething babies are frequently restless and fractions and often more so toward bedtime. Nothing is better to counteract this state of affairs than a good bath. Let the water be deep enough to reach the baby's waist; the temperature 104. A board should be placed across one end of the bath with a few toys arranged on it. Let the little one sit down with a small blanket around his shoulders to prevent a chill. He should remain in the water for five minutes. Then take him out in a warmed blanket. quickly dry him and prop him in his cozy nest before the soothing effects of warmth and water have passed off. The little rogue should then sleep all night. Disinfecting the Nursery. After measles or any contagious aliment the nursery or bedroom should always be disinfected. Formalin tablets can be used for disinfecting purposes. The number employed is ruled by the size of the room. Special lamps can be bought which are made for the purpose. Put in the tablets, place the lamp in a pail, then light it and shut up the room. Prepare the room to be disinfected by opening drawers and cup boards. stuffing up crevices and firmly closing doors, windows and fireplaces. Shut the room in this way for twelve hours; then thoroughly clean it, and you need have no further fear. Towels For Baby.

CU Young folks who are fortunate enough to be taken to the great Panama-Pacific International exposition to be held at San Francisco next year will see many quaint and curious things. For instance, they see the tallest toys in the world. There is a twelve are playground called "Toyland Grown Up" in the "Zone," which is a part of the great fun section of the exposition. Little people are sure to be delighted when they see the tin soldier, for he beats anything in the toy line ever before constructed. This imposing warrior is built in imitation of the tin soldiers so common in the nursery, but he is ninety feet tall. Just imagine, if you can a toy of that great size. The photograph here printed will give you something of an idea of this skyscraping tin soldier. Shepherdess and Wolf. The children stand in a long line, one behind the other, holding each one the dress of the player in front of her. The one at the head of the line is shepherdess; her followers are the lambs. One player stands apart from them and is called the wolf. He prowls steadily around the flock, and the shepherdess calls out, "Who goes round my house this dark and stormy night?" The other answers, "I am a wolf." The shepherdess says, "I beg of you not to hurt my lamb." The wolf then says, "I only want one, and I mean to have this one," and he jumps at the last player in the line. The shepherdess springs round to save her, followed by all the lambs, holding fast to each other's dress in line. The wolf pretends to jump away, but really tries to catch a lamb. The shepherdess tries to protect the lamb by keeping them behind her and facing the wolf at every turn. If he does succeed in catching one the shepherdess pays a forfeit. If the lamb can slip from his hold she must run and put herself in front of the shepherdess, who then becomes a lamb and the escaped lamb is the shepherdess. The wolf in this case loses his place, changing with the last lamb in the line, who becomes wolf. Sitting Cross Legged. The next time you ride in a street car notice the number of people who sit cross legged. It has been estimated that four-fifths of them do. Probably you do. A prominent London physician has investigated the habit, and his advice is. "Don't sit cross legged." He states that the prime objection to the habit is that the return flow of blood is stopped at the knee, the result being that the veins in the leg swell up. All of the weight is thrown to one side of the body under the leg. it is likely to go to sleep. The body should be equally balanced. Much crossing of the legs is also dangerous in that it is likely to cause lopsidedness. The limbs should be allowed to rest easily, so that the flow of blood is natural and the body equally balanced.-American Boy. A Sample Search. This is a good game for a hostess to introduce to a company of tots or young men. Each young man is given a scrap of cloth or goods of some kind and is sent to match it among a basketful of scraps on the table. When he has matched it he is then given pencil and paper and is asked to write down the name of the goods in question. The name of the color, to judge its quality and to suggest some way for making it up into a garment. A discussion of the written answers then follows, which will afford the company much amusement. My second's a man Who a bagpipe does play. But he's not so much known By the people today. NG IN WOODS. THE GER IN BERLIN. HOMELESS BELGIANS CAMPING IN WOODS. THE GERMAN CRUISER KARLSRUHE.

BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA, CAPTURES THE BAPTIST SUNDAYSCHOOL CONGRESS. Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 12, 1914. Among the important items transacted at the National Baptist Publishing Board meeting yesterday was the awarding of the 1915 session of the Sunday School Congress to Birmingham, Alabama, to be held June 9-14. Close and spirited was the contest between Memphis, Cincinnati, Chicago, St. Louis, New York City and Birmingham. There were several meetings of the Board with numerous conferences, together with telegraphic communications with some of the cities, before the officials could decide the winner. The result of Birmingham's victory at the conclusion of the meeting was announced by Rev. Henry A. Boyd, the Congress secretary, who stated that Birmingham had won because she started in time, having allowed her invitation which was extended last year to go over for this year and be repeated for 1915. While the meeting was in session at Beaumont, Texas, last June the Ministers' Conference of Birmingham telegraphed an invitation and then backed it up by a similar one after the adjournment of the Texas meeting. The meeting in 1915 will be the tenth annual session of this gathering of Sunday-school workers and is expected to draw largely from all sections of the United States. The Beaumont meeting drew from twenty-eight states and had an attendance of about 2,500. It is understood that the Baptist Ministers' Conference of Birmingham, Rev. J. W. Goodgame, president, and Rev. J. D. Kent, secretary, with the Mt. Pilgrim Baptist Association, of which Birmingham is a member, Rev. S. M. Hall, moderator, and the Alabama Baptist State Convention, Rev. J. H. Eason, president, have appointed a committee already to begin work. This committee, having met and organized, is as follows: J. W. Goodgame, S. M. Hall, T. W. Walker, W. L. Boyd; J. H. Kellly, chairman, and J. D. Kent, secretary. The date of the 1915 Congress will be from Wednesday, June 9th, to Monday, June 14th, inclusive. There are eight departments or sections of this Sunday-school movement, which represents twenty-five thousand Sunday schools and one million five hundred thousand scholars. The officers are: Revs. R. H. Boyd, of Nashville, director; C. H. Clark, chairman, and Henry A. Boyd, secretary. In connection with the meeting this year it is announced that the Boy Cadets will hold their second annual encampment. THE CHICAGO WOMEN'S CHRIS TIAN ASSOCIATION The public is cordially invited to attend a public meeting to be held at the Y. M. C. A building, 38th and Wabash Ave., Monday evening, November 16th, at 7:30 p. m., under the auspices of the Chicago Women's Christian Association.

In the final summing up, after thousands of years, there will be no pure white race in America, nor will there be a black one, in the opinion of Dr. George Burman Foster of the University of Chicago, who spoke last Sunday night at the Grace Methodist Episcopal church. "Man has been thought of in many ways throughout the ages," he explained. "He has been considered an angel by some, an intellect by others, and nowadays they are coming to think of him as a toiler engaged in performing the work of the world. To him there can be no sharp distinctions of race and color. Held by Many Thinkers. "For this reason the idea, unpopular, to be sure, but still indicated by the facts, that the races in American are amalgamating is not unwelcome to many thinkers. Let me give you an example: A year ago at a public gathering I addressed an audience which was one-third unquestionably Negro, another third unquestionably white, and the rest somewhere in between. "That simply goes to show that we are now part way along in the process, which I do not hesitate to say will be accomplished in time. The black race is to be absorbed. "In fact, the thing will not be so repellant in a few hundred years as it is now," he said. "As it is, those who say the relation between whites and blacks is a symptom of mental defect on the part of the whites fail entirely to consider that times without number the scions of our best southern families have shown signs of such degeneracy. How Colors Will Blend. "Is it not more reasonable to expect that as time goes on the more cultured blacks will more or less naturally intermingle with the least cultured whites in the south until eventually the whole process will have been completed and our race will have absorbed the other! Surely, there is every reason to believe that that condition will result." Prof. Foster declared that all the solutions to the Negro problem which have been offered thus far are inadequate. He scored especially the theory of geographical segregation. NOTES OF RACIAL PROGRESS FURNISHED BY THE NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. A Thought for the Week—Now is the time to begin planning for the Christmas trade. On account of the War America will not be able to import toys and novelties from Germany and France. Thus we must depend upon the American manufacturer for our Christmas gifts. The Colored business man should make his plans now to take advantage of this condition and he should not forget the Negro manufacturer. Negro Dolls may be purchased in Nashville, Overton's Toilet Articles from Chicago, and Patterson Buggies from Greenfield—just think of the thousands who can be made happy from these factories if our business men push their goods at this time. Then don't forget those splendid books by Negro authors. They are so appropriate as gifts. A large number of Colored people were employed as demonstrators during the recent Edison Electrical Exposition which was held at Grand Central Palace in New York City. The Y. M. C. A. of Indianapolis has inaugurated a Night School where barbers, bootblacks, porters, janitors and flatmen are instructed in their line of work. 250 Negro Farmers of Sumter County in South Carolina met recently and adopted resolutions to reduce next year's acreage of cotton by at least 50 per cent. Much interest is being manifested in the subscription contests now being conducted by the Richmond Planet, the Atlanta Independent and Columbia Herald. The Savannah (Ga.) Branch of the Negro Business League is very active. Their weekly "Notes" in the Savannah Tribune are interesting and helpful. Recently, they entertained Mr. C. C. Spaulding, general manager of the N. C. Mutual Insurance Co., of Durham, N. C., and Mr. J. L. Wheeler, Georgia State agent for the same company. The Nashville Globe has joined the Buy-A-Bale Movement. Chicago is to have a school of floral designing, the first of its kind in the country. An enterprising Colored woman is at the head of it. Madame Walker, the well known hair culturist, has purchased the home of the late Bishop Derrick, located in Flushing, N. Y., for $50,000. She will make this her future home. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO.

Every one is expecting to hear some beautiful and fitting solutions and prophecies of this our common problem. A competent corps of judges have been selected and GREAT PRIZE WINNERS' CONTEST BOOMING. LETTERS OF INQUIRY COMING FROM OUTSIDE OF CITY. SIX CONTESTANTS TO PARTICIPATE. Great enthusiasm is already being manifested in the Great Prize Winners' Contest which is to be held Sunday afternoon, Dec. 20th, at Bethel A. M. E. Church. These contests are being given for two great and important reasons: First, to become acquainted with the achievements of the Negro; and secondly, to have these facts known to the masses. It is a glowing tribute that the people of this city and other communities are looking forward to this event with anxious expectancy, and because of these facts it is more than evident that these contests have become a necessity. Letters of inquiry have been received from various out-of-town residents and newspapers which only go to prove that these contests have an extended influence which is beginning to exert itself in this awakening of the Negro to his great advantage. The management has the positive assurance that the following prize winners of previous contests will participate: Mrs. Irene McCoy-Gaines, who read such a glorious paper on the "Colored Author" in 1911; Mr. Cary B. Lewis, the illustrious newspaper correspondent; Miss Katherine Williams and Mr. Frank W. Henry, who read SIR JOHN D. MARTIN Late commander of the Eighth Regiment Illinois National Guard, whose labors in every direction in the past more than any one else made it possible for that regiment to be able to move into its own armory in the near future and he may be induced to jump into the aldermanic fight in the second ward. magnificent papers on the "Negro Soldier in 1912; Miss Lenora T.

In the case of the People of the State of Illinois vs. Edward Cousins, charged with burglary having been indicted by the grand jury of Kankakee County. Edward Cousins, has lived in Kankakee for twenty years in a White neighborhood and is the father of three children, on July 6th, 1914, a White woman by the name of Kitty Clark, whom Edward Cousins had worked for as a janitor charged him with having broke into her home and stole five-hundred dollars ($500.00). Edward Cousins retained DeWitt H. Hardin of Chicago, as his attorney, the State's Attorney Whitmore, advised attorney Hardin to let his client plead guilty, because he would get twenty years in the penitentiary. Attorney Hardin refused to do so, so the State proceeded with the case after the State had presented all of their evidence against the defendant. B. W. Fitts. Manager. THE POPULARITY CONTEST IS STILL BOOMING (Concluded from page 1.) (Concluded from page 17) send in your name on the nomination blank printed in the paper, or phone or call 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. 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. Second Prize $600.00 Player Piano. If you fail to win the $1,500 automobile you have a $650 Steven M. Meyers Player Piano to fall back on. This prize in itself is well worth working for, and under ordinary circumstances would be used as first prize, but we are going to do better than any Colored publication has done before. Therefore do not wait but enter now. Seven Other Prizes Besides the $1,500 automobile and the $650 player piano, there will be awarded seven other prizes consisting of a $100 Columbia phonograph as third prize, a $75.00 diamond ring as Attorney Hardin, upon motion moved the court to instruct the jury to direct a verdict in favor of defendant on the grounds that the State had failed to make out a case against the defendant, after an argument on both sides for about two-hours, and the citation of cases of the Supreme Court, the court allowed Attorney Hardin's motion and took the case from the jury and directed them to find the defendant not guilty. Defendant was discharged attorney Hardin took the city of Kankakee by surprise, being the first in the history of Kankakee that a Negro lawyer did such able work. A SAD PLIGHT The other day I saw an old couple set out of doors because they were unable to pay their rent. "Brute of a landlord" I hear you say. But no, you are wrong. The landlord, too must live this hard, cold winter. He is not a rich man. He cannot live without the rent from his flats. He has waited as long as he could before asking the old couple to move. How his well cared-for features contrast with the pinched and shrivelled faces of his tenants. Yet, years ago, I knew both couples. Both were prosperous, both lived in comfortable homes. Yet there was this difference—one paid rent, the other paid the same amount on a home, paid it without stinting himself too much, without foregoing any of the pleasures of life—rather, his pleasures were increased by one of which the other knew nothing—the joy of possession. This feeling of possession will round out your life, insure a comfortable old age, and it is easily obtained. Simply let your rent apply toward a home. It will not be long, and after you have paid your money out like rent, it will still be yours. For instance, a modern flat building in the Forty-eight block on Langley Avenue brings in $1,512 each year. It is selling at $9,000, so you see the rent will pay for this place in less than six years, and after that you will have $1,512 a year to do with as you please. That is better than the poorhouse, or dependency on a relative, for neither is pleasant. There are many other bargains in real estate on all the popular streets, and in all sections of the city. We have some rare bargains on Forest, Wabash, Prairie, Green, Eberhart, Kenwood, and other exclusive residence districts. We invite you to call and let us tell you about them.

Time is Short. On the 21st of December the contest will positively close. It will not be extended longer. Did you ever have the opportunity before of making $1,500 in three weeks' time? Therefore take advantage of this golden opportunity and enter your name NOW. Reward is Great. It is true that the very least of the prizes would be ample for the small amount of time that you are called upon to use, but the better prizes, the $1,500 automobile and the $650 player piano are worth a hundred times the amount of work that will be required to win them.

Nowadays one hears much of the "high cost of living,"—it is higher and soaring higher. That is a fact too evident to be denied and so the question of the day with most of us is "How can I cut expenses—how save a little?" There are many ways of solving this problem—by cutting grocers' bills—by careful use of gas—by economy in dress. However, it is by none of these methods that we can help you, but we can help you to lower your rent bill.

King Solomon's cantata was given by the Stewardess Board for the building fund at the Hyde Park A. M. E. church, 5624 Lake Park Ave., last Thursday. Mrs. Annie L. Shelby, the manager and director covered herself with glory. For the play was a howling success. The Rev. W. H. Griffin demonstrated his ability as a dramatic reader as well as a good preacher by reading the lines of "Samuel's rebuke to the King," without a rehearsal. Booth could not have done better. The young men were quite surprised to learn of Mr. William Paris' ability as a soloist whose renditions were applauded. Mrs. Rosa Fouche, Chicago's melodious warbler, was much in evidence. Just as entertaining were Mrs. Mary Robinson and her companion in their duet. Mr. Clifford Raymore taking the role of King Solomon, looked the part as well as proving the family to be great actors. Mrs. Craig was Queen Consort. Mrs. Sadonia Raymore as Queen Abigail, looked very pretty. Mrs. Mary Ward as Queen of Sheba added strength to the plot which made the drama very pretty indeed. The costumes were beautiful, aiding this cantata in all of its brilliancy. The church was packed. Mrs. Nettie Merrit clinging to the cross, thrilling her audience with her delsorter pose. Miss Marie Brooks, the little musical wonder has now entered the Kimball Hall American Academy of music after a very severe examinational test, receiving 87 percent; wonderful indeed for any child only eleven years old. Miss Latetia Duncan, who was visiting Mr. and Mrs. Edward Rowe of 5300 Kimbark Ave., has left the city for Pitsfield after a very pleasant stay, spending a short period with her aunt. Mrs. Nannie Young has moved from her residence on 56th Street, as she has sold the place. "We sit by the fire and take hold on the pale of earth this quasi omnipresence supplies the imbecility of our condition. In one of these celestial days when heaven and earth met and adorn each other, it seems a povity that we can only spend it once: we wish for a thousand heads, a thousand bodies, that we might celebrate its immense beauty in many ways and places; is this fancy? Well, in good faith we are multiplied by our proxies. How easily we adopt their labors. Every ship that comes to America got its chart from Columbus. Every novel is a debtor to Homer. Every carpenter who shoves with a foreplane borrows the genius of a forgotten inventor. Life is girt all round with a zodiac of sciences, the contributions of men who have perished to add their point of light to our sky. Engineer, broker, jurist, physician, moralist, theologian, and every man inasmuch as he has any science is a definer and mapmaker of the latitudes and longitudes of our condition. These roadmakers on every hand enrich us. We must extend the aria of life and multiply our relations. We are much gainers in finding a new property in the old earth, as by acquiring a new planet. We are too passive in the reception of these material or semi-material aids. We must not be sacks and stomachs. To ascend one step—we are better served through our sympathy. Activity is contagious. Looking where others look, and conversing with the same things we catch the charm which lured them. Napoleon said, "You must not fight too often with one enemy or you will teach him all your art of war." Talk much with any man looking at things in the same light, and on each occurrence we anticipate his thought. Men are helpful through the intellect and the affections. Other help I find a false appearance," says Emerson. NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE The Negro Fellowship League will be addressed Sunday afternoon, November 15th, by Miss Schroll, principal of the Keith School. This is the third of a series of meetings held in the interest of parents, teachers and punis. Parents especially invited. CHIPS The political pot is boiling. We hope the best man will win. Charles Young, the popular baritone singer, and Chrtes H. Emerson, the up-to-date pianist, rank among the best entertainers in Chicago. Dr. George C. Hall gave some very timely instruction to the people of Hyde Park Monday evening, being special guest at the social given by the Neighborhood Club. The boys of the Louise Training School for Colored Boys were the guests at Glenwood Manual Training School over Friday and Saturday a week ago. All had a very nice time and are anxious to go again. Mrs. E. Lyles Smith, the dramatic reader, 3308 Calumet Ave., left Monday evening to fill some engagements at Union City and Memphis, Tennessee. She will be absent two or three weeks. Attorney Edward G. Alexander, 3741 Rhodes Ave., passed away the first part of this week from the effect of apoplexy. He was well known on the south side among all classes of his fellow citizens. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Smith will be the speakers of the Boys' Glee Club of the Louise Training School for Colored Boys at 6129 S. Loomis Blvd., at 3:30 p. m. next Sunday. Everybody invited. Mr. Charles Cranshaw, chairman. Another one of our attorneys at the bar has fallen; grim death met him at the residence of one of his clients. He now sleeps the sleep which knows no waking. His associates at the bar are sorrowing for him. His relatives have our sympathy. Mrs. Viola Hathaway, who for some time attended store for Fred M. Maiterfield, 5202 South State street, and her former husband, Mr. Hathaway, have again become re-united and they with their little son are now rooming at 3534 Calumet Ave. Madam Rosa Lee Tyler and her partner, Keoki Gerwood, are home again from a theatrical tour to St. Louis and other points in the southwest and south. This week they are playing in this city at the two Monograms, and in the near future they will fill some other out of town engagements. Prof. B. Emmanuel Johnson, after paying all expenses in connection with his all-star musical recital, which he held at the Abraham Lincoln Center, not so long ago, turned over $25 for the benefit of the Phyllis Wheatly Woman's Club, which was very agreeably and cheerfully accepted on the part of the officers of the club. Mrs. Jennie Watts Brown, 7228 Wentworth Ave., left on Monday evening for Cairo, Ill., Union City, Tenn., Springfield, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., Pittsburgh, Pa., New York City and other points in the east, where she will fill a number of engagements in dramatic reading. She expects to return home shortly before Christmas. Wesley Griffin, Jr., and Charley Clark worked very hard for the success of the democratic ticket of Cook county. On Friday evening, October 30th, they held a largely attended meeting at 4941 S. Dearborn St. It was addressed by Major Dan Morgan Smith, E. Franklin Morrow, Henry Hayes, Lawrence A. Newby, T. T. Allain, George J. Terrell, Henry Austin, Mrs. M. B. Gondert, John Boyd and others. Mr. Charley Clark was the secretary of the meeting and Mr. Griffin was its chairman. Mr. Hugh Buchanan and mother entertained Miss Mattie Wilkes, of St. Petersburg, Russia, on Tuesday evening at a quiet impromptu. Miss Wilkes has been scoring with great success in Europe in the Musical World after an absence of eight years from America. Mr. Walter Gossette and Mr. Buchanan sang many American songs which interested Miss Wilkes immensely. Those present were Miss Emma Williams, Miss Mattie Wilkes, Mrs. Meredith, Mrs. Wilkes, Messrs. Gossette, Washington, Crutchfield and Bradley. Pert Personals. Napoleon Lajole has made 3,000 bills and it is worthy of comment that none of them was made in vaudeville.—Grand Rapids Press. Gabriele d'Annunzio's arrest as a spy in Paris was not an outrage when one considers that he looks like a perambulating mystery.—New York Sun. Jerome K. Jerome is with us once again after an absence of years. As a test of fame and other particulars, how many of us remember that he is pronounced Jerrum K. Jerrum?—New York World. High Prices. The food rise may be artificial, but the chaps that engineered it are getting real money.—Washington Post. Now that railroad fares are being boosted, how can we afford to "see America first?"—Albany Knickerbocker Press. Under cover of the European war the high cost of living has been executing a turning movement around both flanks of the ultimate consumer.—New York Post. P!TH AND POINT. People are unnecessarily active when they stir up trouble. The graveyard population alone is increasing in Europe. Don't try to do a man who has a mania for getting even. You can never gain the friendship of a man by arguing with him. THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, NOVEMBER 14, 1914 The idle brain is advance agent for a busy tongue. Satan knows what war is and feels right at home in it. You cannot make a dollar go far by making it go quickly. Eccentric people are people whom other people cannot afford to call fools. A New York medical journal has suspended publication. Poor circulation. we suppose. You can sometimes do a man a favor by refusing to lend him money, but he will not appreciate the favor. Justice may be blind, but so is civilization, or it would not stumble on such a situation as that in Europe. A woman can thrill as deeply over her preparations for housecleaning as a man getting ready to go fishing. Mr. Edison expects to make the submarines safer. But they seem to be already entirely too safe for battleships. The submarine has proved a tremendous factor in the war, provided she does not take too big a lead off her base. Human experience tends to show that the average man's bliting off capacity always exceeds his masticating ability. Because of the war Sweden has been deprived of all weather forecasts. This leaves Mme. Thebes and the astrologers a monopoly. All of the belligerent nations insist that they were forced into the war. it is unfortunate that the same influence cannot force them out. Current Comment. Europe will see America first in the matter of many household necessities when Europe returns to sanity.-Chicago News. The fact that the Monroe doctrine bears the "Made In America" mark does not prevent it from being universally regarded as a high grade product.-Washington Star. Given time, says a New York doctor, the medical profession will end its existence by diminishing disease. We move that the doctors be granted all the time they need.-Detroit Free Press. A St. Louis packer rises to predict cheaper meats in the not remote future. But the other packers unfortunately seem to be all "from Missouri" on that particular proposition.-New Orleans Times-Picayune. Tax Talks. Those who dodge and do not pay will live to be taxed some other way.—Philadelphia Ledger. The statement that there are 140,000 income tax dodgers abroad finds many an unsuspected citizen trying to look guilty.—Washington Post. There are 23,551 single women who pay an income tax. In the name of the bachelors of America, let their names be made public.—Baltimore American. Forty-four Americans have incomes of more than $1,000,000. One who is obliged to spend that much must certainly be disqualified from the "idle rich."—New York Sun. Flippant Flings. German trained dogs that stand at attention on sighting French red uniforms doubtless throw a fit when confronted with a highland regiment—Washington Star. Intermarriage of royal houses as a means to peace might have been prevented by consulting the heads of large private families as to general results.—Washington Post. A Boston publisher whose name we withhold lest you be tempted to injure him says he has a method which will enable any one to learn to play on the cornet for 75 cents.—Florida Times-Union. Fashion Frills. We believe in being cheerful. The fall hats might have been considerably worse. Louisville Courier-Journal. Some of these patriotic women think that a cotton dress would look perfectly lovely under a sealskin coat. Washington Post. Women's skirts will be shorter this season. This looks like a clever strategic move by the manufacturers of silk beslery. -Chicago News. One thing, at least, men have to be thankful for. They don't have to wrestle with corsets that sit down too soon. -Lowell Courier-Citizen. Dress Hints. Lemon juice, applied first and allowed to dry into the leather, will facilitate the polishing of new shoes. To keep a placket from tearing down sew a hook and eye at the very bottom of the placket on the wrong side. Hook together, pinching the hook down tightly, and it will never come unfastened. In sewing on buttons, if the knot is placed on the right side of the cloth directly under the button, the thread will be less likely to break and become loosened and the button will remain on longer.

Murray, postmaster of Boston is only thirty-three years old. General Horatio Gates Gibson, the oldest living graduate of West Point, left the academy in 1847 at the age of twenty for service in the Mexican war. Professor H. Julius Eggeling, professor of Sanskrit and comparative philology at Edinburgh university since 1875, has resigned his professorship on account of the war. Dr. Eggeling was born in Germany in 1842 and has a worldwide reputation. Dr. W. A. P. Martin, who recently celebrated his eighty-seventh birthday, is the oldest Protestant missionary in China, having been engaged in his labors in that country for sixty-four years. In point of service it is believed that his record stands alone. He was born in Indiana. Sir Edward Goschen, until recently British ambassador at Berlin, is of German ancestry, but was born and educated in England and married an American, the daughter of the late Darius Clark of New York, who had imense interests in Argentina. Sir Edward Goschen is a banker, as were his father and grandfather before him. Short Stories. Holland pays old age pensions to more than 80,000 persons, who are over seventy years of age. It is stated that no city in the world produces newspapers in such a variety of languages as New York. In the per capita consumption of tobacco Holland leads the world, with Belgium second and the United States third. Cameras that will photograph objects many miles away, the details of which are carefully guarded secrets, have been added to the equipment of the United States army signal corps. Over 50,000 visits are made every year to the free clinics of the University of California medical school. During the past year the number of patients treated at the out department of the University hospital in San Francisco increased by more than 50 per cent. Pert Personals. Caruso entertained the idle of Rome by singing for them. In this country he gets paid for it—Baltimore American. George Bernard Shaw says the thinking public numbers less than 50,000. Shaw modestly retrained from telling us the names of the other three or four.—Detroit Free Press. Adelina Patti, singing at seventy-two before the king of England, contributes her bit of evidence that not all the vigor and valor of the world are in its armies.—New York World. Winston Churchill is being very much pulled and hauled these days, raked over the coals and panned. At least he seems to be no longer first lord of the admiration.—New York Sun. Echoes of the War. A little trigger is a dangerous thing.—Life. Belgium will be one great iron mine when the cannonading is over.—Springfield Republican. Some of the war critics are complimentary. They always refer to it as " civilized warfare."—Atlanta Constitution. The actual assassin of the Archduke Francis Ferdinand gets off with twenty years in prison. Some way or other, the penalty on the rest of Europe seems out of proportion.—New York World. SHARP AND SHORT. There are few things more uncertain than life's certainties. But it does seem rather queer not to have congress in session. All things considered, there is no incentive to give history an encore. There may be sermons in stones, but you don't get them out by stumping your toe. Wild oats will take out of your soil what no system of crop rotation can ever put back. The insurance of Westminster abbey is like making a money estimate of English history. All that goes up has to come down, but it doesn't work the other way with a torpedoed cruiser. Contentment cannot dwell where thoughts of what might have been are regularly entertained. Those who have all the say in war do no fighting, and those who do all the fighting have no say. A Detroit man has invented a suit of armor for army mules. It will take a brave soldier to act as valet. It's a strange thing that usually the person who tells it first is the one who kicks most when a "secret" reaches the third party. Edison says the war will leave the world as round as ever. But some what scarred and scuffed in the north temperate zone. If, as Judge Gary says, the war in Europe is merely a matter of dollars and cents, the participants are not getting the worth of their money. BRIGHT BRIEFS. 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 chandeller 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 lungs like an overdose of an anaesthetic.

But what most of us need is instruction in the complementary art of purchase—Boston Herald. Alaska's gold output last year was about $600,000 more than the United States paid for the whole country. Your Uncle Samuel always was a good trader—St. Louis Republic. A severe winter may help to end the European war with a freeze-out. There are never any such conflicting reports about the victories of peace. The man who does not mind his own business is not the man you want to mind your business. Perhaps the reason soldiers can fight on small rations is that they don't have much stomach for more. A political economist says the war, if it lasts eighteen months, will cost about $18,000,000,000. Maybe it will, but it certainly isn't worth it. One nervy man after living on a diet for twenty years in the hope of reaching a hundred died at ninety-eight from tripping over a rug. What's the use? Europe needs only keep on for a little longer to get what she has not had for a long time—large armies of veterans; also proportionately larger military armies. --- CAPITAL,*$200,000.00 NOTARY PUBLIC Phone FRANKLIN 2717 Current Comment.

"Heroism gone wrong" would not be an altogether bad description of the mad conflict in Europe.—Providence Journal. The censors may be saving us a good many shocks by not letting us know how horrible the war really is.—Indianapolis News. Abandonment of next year's peace conference at The Hague follows logically this year's submission of argument to armament.—New York World. Train and Track. All steel cars are being experimented with on several railway lines in India. Experiments are under way in England with a compound rail for street railways, the worn portions of which can be replaced without disturbing the roadbed. The total railway mileage of the world is about 594,840 miles. Of this Europe has 190,346 miles and the United States 248,888 miles. Thus it will be seen that our country has 49,542 miles more than the whole European continent. Many a man who says nothing sawes precious little wood. Will Russia or Germany have Turkey for Thanksgiving? To run a straight furrow you must look a long way ahead. The heyday of youth isn't in it with the pay day of manhood.

Two French scientists claim that a raw food diet increases the white blood corpuscles, which play an important part in the fight against disease bacteria. Photographs of the planet Mars take on through color screens by an eminent Russian astronomer showed that its "canals" were filled with some substance sea green in color. Train and Track The French railway in Indo-China uses metal sleepers entirely. For handling freight cars at Cleveland a large railroad has installed electric locomotives which run on separate tracks and push the cars with side arms. An English railroad has built a machine operated by compressed air that loads two cars at once with steel rails or unloads them and places the rails ready for laying at a rate of four a minute. ```markdown ``` Phone {Douglas 4482 Auto 73-974 Auto 74-478 JESSE BINGA BANKER S.

King Louis of Bavaria claims lineal descent from the Stuarta. Prince Henry, inspector general of the German fleet, is the only brother of Emperor William. The king of the Belgians, though comparatively a young man—he is only thirty-nine years of age—is one of the most versatile monarchs in Europe. He has taken his degree as an electrical engineer and railroad engineer, and himself drew up the plans for a new railway between Antwerp and Brussels, superintending the work himself. According to one of the war aviators, they have to fly high in order to be safe. Yes, and then they are not disgustingly safe. For an implement definitely relegated to the military scrap heap by the experts the bayonet is doing an amazing amount of work during these days of blood and horror. In reckoning the cost of the war the figure "million" has been found pitifully inadequate. It's necessary to talk in billions. Next to the sweetness of having a friend whom you can trust is the convenience of having a friend who will trust you occasionally. Mark Hambour, the famous Russian pianist, has sued the London Mall for libel for calling him a German. War makes strange lawsuits. ```markdown ``` HARRY J. KELLY Prop.

Carter of Boston pays $42,586 as her tax on personal property worth $2,433,500. Dr. Lillian Herald South, head of the Kentucky state bacteriological laboratory at Bowling Green, is said to be the only woman to hold the important position of state bacteriologist. Mrs. Amy D. Winship, who, at the age of eighty-three, completed a four years' course at the University of Wisconsin last June, says that she finds in study the best means of keeping young, and she has accordingly planned a three years' course in graduate work at various universities. Mile. De Selligny, member of one of the foremost families in France, found two wounded soldiers in the ruins during the bombardment of Senlis. She got a donkey and cart, hoisted the wounded men into it unlaid and, despite bursting shells, marched thirty miles beside the donkey to the nearest ambulance. State Lines. During the past fiscal year, July 1, 1913, to June 30, 1914, 57,762 acres of land in the national forests in California were listed to 510 applicants under the forest homestead laws. Texas, the largest of all the states in area and fifth in the number of inhabitants, ranks nineteenth in the value of its mineral production, according to the United States geological survey. In 1911 it ranked twenty-third. Illinois was third among the states of the Union in 1913 in the value of its mineral production. The state owes its prominence as a mining state chiefly to its importance as a producer of coal and petroleum and to the development of its clay working industries. PITH AND POINT. Nothing succeeds like being prepared for success. Diplomacy is the art of concealing our dislikes. Confession of weakness is the beginning of strength. To a large part of the populace it is a long time between baseball seasons. The impregnable fort, like the largest ocean steamer, now has to be started all over again. Unless you are nervous you can't realize how much noise there is in the so called busy world. Do not sit forever waiting for your ship to come in. Better dig a few clams along the shore. Reports from Europe to the effect that business is going on as usual must refer to the junk business. There are not going to be any rivers of doubt on the map of Europe after the great powers get through with it. What business needs to do just now is to make more things in the United States to bear the label "Made In the U. S. A." DAMES AND DAUGHTERS. Mrs. Helen Speer of New York makes a business of installing children's playrooms in large hotels. Miss Margaret J. Tuke, principal of the Bedford College For Women in London, is an M. A. of Dublin university. Mrs. John D. Rockefeller is averse to publicity and is the least known of all the wives of world famous men. She was Laura Celestia Spellman, and she is now seventy-five years of age. Miss Annette Adams of San Francisco, who has been appointed assistant United States attorney in that city, was before her appointment a practicing attorney. She is a graduate of the State Normal school of California, of the State university and other institutions. Dr. Katharine B. Davis, commissioner of corrections of New York city, began her career of usefulness as a clubwoman and was a delegate from the Literary club of Dunkirk, N. Y., to the first biennial of the General Federation of Women's Clubs when it met in New York city twenty-two years ago. Forest Notes. Six thousand bushels of lodgepole pine seed are being collected this fall on the Arapahoe national forest, Colorado, for use in reforestation work next spring. Officers of the Okanogan national forest, in the state of Washington, are installing powerful signal lanterns for night use in reporting forest fires from lookout peaks. The Philippine bureau of forestry has recently invited bids for the cutting of nearly 300,000 acres of choice timberland on the public forests on the island of Luzon. Flippant Flings. In order to escape being accused of lack of neutrality nowadays one must confine one's remarks to the mean annual rainfall.-Chicago News. Judging from the effect, those blue and white papers issued by the foreign chancelleries must have contained a selditz powder.-Cincinnati Enquirer. Housewives are blamed for the high cost of sugar, says an eastern paper. It's gradually getting around to the old man, where the blame for everything eventually lands.-Detroit Free Press. SHORT AND SHARP. Europe's race war puts all others to shame. The world is a cage in which humanity is tamed. There are not many waves of success on a sea of trouble. No man is so illiterate that he cannot teach others something. A truthful statement never needs to be backed up by a lot of lies. Some of the fellows who believe only half of what they hear always believe the wrong half. The "buy a bale of cotton" campaign has extended to Europe, but the demand is for gun cotton. With a few more years of war in Mexico the parceling out of the land won't find enough peons left to go round. Spain's offer to care for the wounded of other nations indicates she, at least, has no intention of departing from neutrality. It will be a long time before the rulers of some nations of Europe return to the custom of greeting their neighbor kings with kisses on each cheek. Thrifty Don'ts. Don't let false pride cost you money. There is no happiness in it. Don't forget that peace of mind is better than things you can't afford. Don't feel too sure you are getting the most possible out of your expenditures. Learn what "hard pan" really is. Don't forget spendthrifts need to be capitalists. One can be a spendthrift with a dollar as well as with large sums.—Pittsburgh Press. Town Topics. Baltimore has the celebration habit and is constantly improving with practice.—Baltimore American. If Chicago's Union station had stood where Rheims cathedral stood not so many persons would lament the consequences.—Chicago News. Boston's new $4,500,0000 tunnel is only a little one, a mile and a half long, but it none the less adds to the Hub's prestige as subway constructor.—New York World. Four Wars. The Crimean war lasted 724 days and cost 485,000 lives and $1,525,000,000. The Boer war of 1899-1900 lasted 362 days and cost 90,898 lives and $1,000,000,000. The Franco-German war, 1870-1, lasted 405 days and cost 290,000 lives and $1,580,000,000. The Russo-Japanese war, 1904-5, lasted 576 days and cost 555,000 lives and $2,250,000,000.

Many a man is so public spirited that he tries to mind everybody's business but his own. The foundries in the European monarchies are busy making decorations as well as big guns. Victory is sure to perch on the banner of the chap who never lets doubt creep into his heart. Where ignorance is bliss 'tis folly to be wise on former geographical boundaries of European countries. --- --- FRANK DUNN J. B. McCAHEY TRUSTEESI FRANK DUNN J. W. Casey. Agent, 74 W. W.
