THE BROAD AX HEW TO THE LINE; LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY VOL. XXIV. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, AUGUST 2, 1919. Bloody Anarchy, Murder, Rapine, Race Riots And All Forms Of Lawlessness Have Stalked Broad Cast, Throughout Chicago The Past Week; The Vicious And Law Defying Elements In Both The White FIVE Hundred Injured. THIRTY TO FORTY VICTIMS HAVE MET THEIR DEATH AT THE HANDS OF THE MOB THAT NUMBER BEING ALMOST EQUALLY DIVIDED BE-TWEEN BOTH RACES. M. J. INNOCENT AND LAW ABIDING COLORED MEN, EMPLOYED IN HOTELS AND RESTAURANTS IN THE DOWN TOWN DISTRICT, MURDERED IN COLD BLOOD BY ROVING BANDS OF WHITE RUFFIANS WHO DELIGHT TO BATHE THEIR HANDS IN HUMAN BLOOD. COLORED MEN AND WOMEN GOING TO AND RETURNING HOME FROM THEIR WORK IN THE VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE CITY, WERE DRAGGED FROM THE STREET CARS AND BEATEN OR CLUBBED TO DEATH. BETWEEN FIVE AND SIX HUNDRED WHITE AND COLORED PEOPLE HAVE SO FAR BEEN INJURED IN THE HORIBLE AND REVOLTING REIGN OF TERROR, WHICH HAS GRIPPED CHICAGO, THE FAIREST OF ALL OF THE CITIES LIKE A DEADLY MALADY. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TEN MILLION TIMES BETTER FOR ALL THE CITIZENS OF CHICAGO, IF POLICE OFFICER DANIEL L. CALLAHAN, WOULD HAVE DISCHARGED HIS SWORN DUTY AND PROMPTLY ARRESTED THE WHITE PERSON WHO STRUCK EUGENE WILLIAMS IN THE HEAD WITH A STONE CAUSING HIS DEATH AT THE TWENTY-NINTH STREET BATHING BEACH LAST SUNDAY. MARTIAL LAW SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMMEDIATELY DECLARED AT THE OUTBREAK OF THE RIOT FOR SEEMINGLY THE POLICE HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO COPE WITH THE GRAVE SITUATION. UP TO THE PRESENT TIME THE RIOT HAS COST THE TAXPAYERS OF CHICAGO MORE THAN ONE MILLION DOLLARS, WHICH MEANS THAT THE REIGN OF MOB AND LYNCH LAW OR ANARCHY IS AN EXPENSIVE THING TO FOOL WITH. JULIUS F. TAYLOR AND A LADY WHICH HE WAS ESCORTING HOME, SAVED TWO WHITE MEN FROM BEATEN UP AT 35TH AND INDIANA AVENUE AT 1 O'CLOCK TUESDAY MORNING. SIX THOUSAND STATE TROOPS ARE NOW IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF CHICAGO AND LAW AND ORDER MUST BE RESTORED AND MAINTAINED AT ANY COST. Former Governor of Illinois; one of the foremost citizens in this state and in the city of Chicago, who arrived home from Washington, D. C., late Tuesday evening and without wasting any time he bestified himself to see to it that all the people residing in the 31st ward and in the Town of Lake received ample police protection; that law and order must be restored without delay and maintained at all hazards. throats like unto madden demons and blood thirsty savages, to the same extent and with such horrorfying results and with such a fearful loss of life, as they have in this city the past week and their hellish crimes and lawless deeds will for ages to come, remain as a stench in the nostrils of the decent and the law abiding citizens of Chicago—the State of Illinois and the whole nation. Not less than forty persons White and Colored have up to the present time met their deaths at the hands of the mob and the true number of the deed and wounded may never be known.

One week ago no sane person would have permitted himself to believe that within less than a week from HON. CHARLES S. DENEEN and six hundred white and Colored people have been injured one way and another, during the horrible and revolting reign of terror, which has for the past week gripped Chicago, which has always been the heaven of hope and the garden of eaden for the Colored people, like a deadly malady. The citizens of Chicago would have been ten million times better off in every way if Police Officer Daniel L. Callahan would have discharged his sworn duty and promptly arrested (Continued on Page 2) that time that Colored men and women would be dragged from street cars and shot or clubbed to death in all parts of the city—that decent and friendly disposed white persons would be murdered without any just cause if they attempted to transact any business or even to peaceably walk through the Colored districts and the same fate fell upon the Colored people if their business or work caused them to frequent the districts where the whites resided.

August 2, 1919 No. 46 Entered as Second-Class Matter, Aug. 19, 1902, at the Post Office at Chi- ago, Ill., Under Act of March 3, 1879 IS THE LIGHT WORTH THE CANDLE? Now that the race riot at Longview, Texas, is well in hand, and that seemingly, there is peace, The Observer and Freeman asks: Since this trouble is alleged to have started from a publication in the Chicago Defender of June 17th, was the sensational news item, involving the morality, character and honor of a white woman exploited to stimulate further circulation of that paper, or was it done simply for dollars and cents, or just a morbid desire to be sensational? If it was either, that was certainly a d-d bad way to do it, for in the end the colored people at Longview and throughout Texas generally, are sufferers, with worse yet to follow! Let us count the cost and see whether the burning of those colored people's homes and the killing of old man Marion Bush and the numerous arrests of colored men, together with the fleering of Prof. F. L. Jones and Dr. C. P. Davis, was a good bargain for selling papers and whether the publication of that slanderous newspaper article was the best way to help the race at Longview, where in all trials in the courts, be they crimes or misdemeanors, white men strictly serve as judge, jury and executioner. Is such sacrifice of life and property the end sought? Is such desired? And was such a sequence expected? Prof. Jones, we are informed, was agent for the Defender and other race papers, but whether he corresponded for any of them we do not know. It is said that he denied reporting the incident complained to any person, let alone the Defender and that he protested being charged with that to the last. It is thought Dr. Davis advised the colored people to "look out" and to prepare for trouble when the report got out that there would be others lynched in addition to the lynching of Lemuel last month. How the white people got that information, if they had any at all, is not known. We do know, however, that it is possible to get information they may want from stool pigeons, pimps and that ilk of the race, who have ingress and egress to all Negro homes, churches and meeting places and who mix indiscriminately with the best people in society, church and everything else owned and conducted by the race. While we regret that unhappy and unlooked for occurrence, we commend the stand taken by our people in defending themselves as they did. Stands like that, even when odds are against units of the National Guard, for without their intervention there would have been hell to pay at Longview. The Observer, Freeman, Houston, Texas, July 26th, 1919. LEAGUES This word at this time seems to have precedence over all else, during the past year there has been more said and written about it than any other word. We all know that at this very moment the greatest legislative body in the world is considering it in connection with Nations, The League of Nations containing Covenants, propositions, and directions for The Nations, the result of serious consideration by the most-able minds of the world and we find upon analysis of it imperfections so great and glaring as to astound, try and exhaust the real statesman and proving conclusively the seriousness of this League Business. It's a thing to be seriously and wisely considered, there are several Leagues we might discuss in this article, but it is our purpose to ascertain something about a League that has been in existence for a decade or more among the Negro People of this Country. The Negro Business League will convene in annual session Aug. 16, 17, 18 next in the City of St. Louis, we know for what The League of Nations proposes, but we know less about the purposes of The Negro Business League, we have talked with a good many Business concerns of National repute who seem to know less than we about it and general discussion with members of it has been barren of any knowledge of its accomplishments; knowing as we do know most of the characters controlling it, and their faith in the utterance 'Ask and it shall be giving thee,' we present the following questions to wit: What aid, strength, or assistance has The League giving to the Negro Race in this Country? With what Banks or Business Institutions has it a standing and a credit? When, where and under what law Incorporated? What are the conditions for members in it, and what becomes of the revenues thus raised if any is collected? What are the purposes of Annual Meetings other than to renew acquaintances and to share the hospitality of various cities in which they meet, pay railroad fares and tell each other their experiences. Would the expenses incurred individually in these Annual affairs is spent collectively promote a real Business? What does The League own and what benefits are to be derived by members? If these questions are answered candidly they will do The League a world of good, if in the affirmative and the Race an abundant benefit if in the negative, for if the answer discloses some tangible results The League will prosper where it now languishes for the Public will know of its accomplishments, if on the other hand it has not accomplished any real good or demonstrated any a Railroad fares neglecting their own Business will be disillusioned, and thus arouse some effort that will give inspiration to all of us. Thereby put forth to create a real place in the Business world for Negro Business Men. This is in keeping with the order of the day Reconstruction and Rehabiliment. APPEAL OF THE NATIONAL ORGANIZER, PROF. A. W. WHALY OF THE NATIONAL EQUAL RIGHTS LEAGUE OF U.S.A. To Afro-Americans of the U. S. A. and the West Indies: The condition that confronts us on every hand demands immediate united action on our part. If we delay, we would be guilty of an unpardonable sin, and jeopardize the Black Man's Cause for Ages to Come. Our descendants would curse our memory. Shall the invincible and unterrified Knights Liberty, who saved in the bloody wars of America and Europe for the white race the "Jewels of Liberty" deny them to ourselves." Equality of Rights and Liberty are within our grasp. Black Americans!! Let us rise up in our moral, intellectual civic and physical might and take RACE RIOTS IN CHICAGO—SIXTHOUSAND STATE TROOPS ARE NOW IN COMPLETE CONTROL OF THIS CITY. (Concluded form Page 1) the white person who threw the stone which struck Eugene Williams the 17-year-old Colored, causing him to fall from the raft into the lake and drowned at 29th St. Bathing beach last Sunday. The utter failure of the policeman to do his duty in that respect so angered the Colored people present that they lost control of themselves and they decided to take the law into their own hands which was a very dangerous thing to do, for their action or conduct has been very costly not only to the Colored race, but to the white race as well; after all that has been said and done it would have been ten billion times better if the Colored people would have permitted the law to take its course, for the results flowing from their actions have been appalling and will be a huge strumbling block across the pathway of both races in this fair city for generations yet emborn. In time it may dawn upon the minds of the business men; the small taxpayers and others who are deeply interested in Chicago, that so far mob, lynch law and the reign of anarchy has cost them more than one million dollars that the city will be forced to pay five thousand dollars for each person shot down in cold blood, and to pay for the property destroyed by the mobs; and to fork over money to those who have received any injuries to their persons from the law defying elements. On Monday evening after arriving home safe and sound by the skin of our teeth we set forth after dinner for the purpose of attending a meeting at 33rd and Wabash ave. It was after 12 o'clock before the meeting come to an end, one lady was present who lived on Vernon ave., south of 35th street, it was impossible for love or money to secure a taxi to convey her to her home and the street cars on Indnana Ave. were running on slow time and nothing was left for her to do, but to walk home, at that point we stepped up to the lady and informed her that we would accompany her to her home if we were shot down in the attempt. So we wended our way south on Indiana avenue, to 35th street; it To this end the National Organizer of Equal Rights League, now begins the campaign for three million members for the above-named race organization of matchless achievements and International renown. Colored Americans the World's eyes are upon us, watching to see us take our Rights. Shall we falter in the crisis of our destiny? Shall we fail to sustain and continue the inspired and magnificent work of the noble self-sacrificing and immortal William Monroe Trotter in Europe? Never! He has fired the shot in Europe for the Black Race that was heard round the World. Like him, let us sacrifice all. White Americans like courage and force. Let us give them both in the taking of our rights. The League must have three million members as quickly as possible. We now appeal to churches, civic, secret and all other organizations among Afro-Americans to co-operate with the League to get these members at once. Southern mobocracy and Southern tyranny must be destroyed by Black Americans and upon their ruins the temple of justice and equality erected adorned with the "Jewels of Liberty." MEETING OF THE NATIONAL St. Louis, Mo.—One of the important features of the coming meeting of the National Negro Business League will be a discussion, "A Reconstruction and Readjustment Symposium—The Negro's Relation Thereto," in which national leaders of thought will participate. The subject of Labor, Health, Business and related questions and problems will be dealt with at length. It is hoped that a sympathetic Southerner of national reputation will also be present to speak on this occasion. Addresses It might be well to state that neither the lady or the writer knew the two white gentlemen from Adam's off ox; after landing the lady at her home safetily we wended our way back on 35th street to the "L" station; it was then almost two o'clock in the morning and in going east from Indiana ave., and in returning west on 35th street we failed to come in contact with one single policeman until we reached Michigan ave. and from the west side of Michigan ave. to State st., we never before beheld so much human blood scattered over the side walks in our journey through life and it seemed that the order or the business of the day and night had been to do nothing else but to shed the blood of human beings and that that part of the south side had been transformed into a slaughter house. will also be delivered by Mr. William D'Arcy, President of the Associated Advertising Clubs of America, Mr. Allen W. Clark, Chairman of the Clean-Up and Paint-Up Bureau with headquarters at St. Louis, and Col. Otis B. Duncan of the famous Sth Illinois begiment. The official announcement of entertainments for the League include a visit to the Anheuser-Busch Bevo Plant, a special entertainment at the Booker T. Washington Theatre and an Industrial and Fraternal parade showing the achievements of the Negroes of St. Louis and the Middle West. The Eighth Illinois Regiment Band will furnish music for the Reception and Banquet which will be held Friday evening, August 15th at the Coliseum. It will thus be seen that the Local Negro Business League of St. Louis is making full and complete arrangements not only for the business meeting of the League, but also for the entertainment of the delegates and of the friends. The meeting begins August 13th. LIST OF ARRIVALS J. S. Sullivan, and Wife, Innargo, Ill. Edgar Brooks, City. C. W. Thomas, Camp Grant, Ill. Charles Howard, Camp Grant, Ill.

ALABAMA LYNCHERS GIVEN BAY MINETTE, Ala.—For the first time in the history of Alabama convictions and pleas of guilty were entered in a lynching case today when in the Baldwin County Court two men were convicted of complicity in the murder and given Penitentiary sentences, while 28 other members of the same band entered pleas of guilty. Ten of those pleading guilty were given fines or sentences to hard work. The case was that of Frank Foukal, who was shot to death in his cell in jail, where he was being held on a charge of murder. Local authorities immediately began seeking the result that more than 30 persons were arrested. The convictions and pleas of guilty came today, only a few weeks after the attack took place. Sim Andrews and Louis Bishop, the two men convicted, were given Penitentiary sentences of 10 and 15 years, respectively. MEETING IN THE INTEREST OF THE ATLANTA NORMAL AND INDUSTRIAL INSTITUTE AT THE NEGRO FELLOWSHIP LEAGUE. Ex-President, James M. Henderson of Morris Brown University, Atlanta, Ga., and who is now the efficient pastor of the Institutional Church, 39th and Dearborn St., Chicago, Ill., will act as chairman of the rally, for the Atlanta Normal and Industrial Institute, which will be held in the Negro Fellowship League Headquarters, on Sunday afternoon, 3 p. m. The educational propaganda of the Negro in the South will be discussed by principal Richard D. Stinson of Atlanta traveled in England in the interest of the Colored people of the south years ago and Lawyer N. S. Taylor, preset of the Negroes Sufferage League of the United States from Greenville, Miss., Hon. Adelbert H. Roberts, member of the Illinois Legislature and state senator Samuel A. Ettelson, Corporation Counsel of the City of Chicago. All persons interested in the educational, moral and economic conditions of the Colored people are urged to be present and to give their influence and sympathy to this cause at that time and place. There are many reasons why we think our people in this Metropolitan City as well as white frinds should seek to be present. If a sound mind and rational habits do so much to keep the body sound, and if nature unaided can cure most of our curable ills, life is a fairer deal for all of us than it has sometimes seemed. Of course, it is not so easy as it sounds to put fear and worry, harrowing love affairs and destructive emotions—hatred and envy—out of mind. But if this is done we must do it ourselves. Doctors cannot do it for us, and realization that the matter of health is largely in our own hands must contribute to the wiser ordering of life.—Chicago Daily News. Golden Moment is Now Shake a barrel of apples and the sound ones will come to the top. And in this great industrial shake up the man of right heart and keen mind find his chance. He who has not succeeded as well as he would have liked has now less cause or time than ever for the cavil of discontent or resistance to the advance of industrial peace and progress. Now is his golden moment to apply heart and brain and muscle to the best opportunity at hand—Charles Grant Miller, in the Christian Herald. Do Authors Enjoy Writing? In an editorial on the financial rewards of the late Amelia E. Barr the New York World sets forth that she loves of writing always produces the best results. "We object," says the Sun. "A canvass of writers who achieve the best results, our guess is would show that nine-tenths of them don't love to write. There is a good deal of bunk about it, and it is hard to get honest answers; many writers are afraid to say they don't enjoy the writing job." Anyway. He Found It. It was on October 12 I happened to meet my neighbor's little girl on the street during school hours. I asked her how it happened that she was not at school, and she looked at me with some surprise and answered: "Why don't you know, it's Columbus day to day?" Then, with seeming pity for me in my ignorance, she added: "Columbus discovered America. It was last year, I think."—Chicago Tribune Could Drink Water. If among the innumerable beverages of colonial times a man could find nothing to quench his thirst, he must have been hard to satisfy. The Pilgrim fathers were much distressed because they were reduced to drinking water when they came to the New World. But Higginson, of Salem, proudly told his contemporaries: "I can and oft-times do drink New England water very well." Triumphed Over Misfortune The famous French artist, Gustave Dore, was born and reared in the shadow of Strasburg cathedral, say Mrs. Betham-Edwards, in "The Heart of the Vosges." At the age of eight years he broke his right arm, but he came, as if by magic, ambidextrous. As he lay in bed he cheerily drew pictures all day long with his left hand. Deep Degradation. "I haven't seen Piklington for a week." "No, he hasn't been out of the house since his accident." "Was he seriously injured?" "No, but he feels the disgrace deeply." "Disgrace?" "Yes. After living in the heart of the city all his life he went to the country one day last week and was run over by a milk cart!" Quite Sure. Patricia came tumbling down a flight of stairs, and her mother, badly frightened, inquired if she was hurt. When Patricia regained her breath she loudly proclaimed her feelings: "I is killed, mother!

Overblouse Now Finds Place in Wardrobe of the Majority of Women. Russian Peasant Style May Reach to Knees; May Button Up to Chin or Separate Down the Front. And now enters the smock—that is, it is entering everybody's wardrobe. At first, writes a fashion correspondent, this curious fad was followed only by those of artistic or gardening temperament or those who loved the most advanced and different sort of thing. The smock has undergone so many modifications from its first appearance as the typical peasant garment, Vanna Newspaper Union Charming Russian blouse of blue drapped over a dainty frock of dark blue chiffon. which it really is, that it is in point of fact hardly recognizable. Its name, too, has changed, for whereas in the beginning it was just a smock, now it is known as the "overblouse," and the chemise blouse, and the Cossack coat. The gardening period in our recent lives is believed to be responsible for the acceptance of this type of blouse. The smock is so comfortable with its loose free lines that it became at once just the sort of thing needed for this sort of work, especially since it looked just as well with trousers as with skirts—a thing which could not be said of all waists or blouses. Of course trousers were a part of the gardening days, and while they have retired at least from general service as far as woman's need for them goes, the smock remains, glorified beyond its most humble followers' recognition. Of great beauty are those over-buses of midnight blue volle closely pallleted all over with round silver dinks and held in place with a thick cord of silver threads. This is to be worn with a skirt of silk or sport satin or garadine and makes a pleasing costume. The printed chiffons have been extensively used for the type of blouse. One seldom sees them without a belt of some sort, generally a heavy silken cord which endcries the waist and loops in front with heavy tassels or fringe. If the smock is worn under the coat it is often left free and unbelted, but rarely is it seen now worn in this way without one's coat or sweater. The smock of the unbelted variety has a decidedly dressing sacque look, but so many women understand so cleverly the adaptation of every mode that we are spared an avalanche of ladies apparently abroad in their breakfast mats or bondoir jackets. A Lovely Smock Bliouse. One of the most beautiful of all the smock type of blouses seen lately is of finest indestructible white volleys molded all over in fine white silk in circle design. The bottom of the blouse has a hem of white silk folded back onto the blouse. A vest is worn at the front and piped with white silk. Two silken buttons caught together with loops of the narrow braid button it at the throat. It slips over the head in kimono fashion and a heavy silken cord of white silks around the waist and loops in front. This charzating thing is to be worn with white skirts of satin or silk or gauze. A curious concession to the over lace notion is found in many elaborate waistals of chiffon or georgette with the front piece left long enough to go over the skirt and the back, stopping just at the waistline. The heel of the skirt slipped over the front and gives the effect when worn in a cost or a garment. course, buttons down the back. The vestee lives on and on and appears just as often on simple waists of wash fabric as it does on the more elaborate type. One finds waists of georgette with vests made by using frill after frill of narrow Valenciennes lace. Always the vestee is simulated by leaving the front panel longer than the back so that it hangs over the skirt. Just as often one finds a hem of some contrasting color to the body of the blouse added, the contrasting color appearing on collar and sleeves also. Now and then in a very fine smock of organdie one finds this sort of trimming done with fine lace. Of all of the delightful summer things we have seen none is more charming than the smock of organdie of a new sort which has dots of a different color scattered thickly over its surface. Tiny frills of the plain organdie trim collar and sleeves and edge the turned back hem, while narrow string belts of the organdie hold the extra fullness in place at the waist. These offer the greatest degree of freshness and crispness—which any summer wash fabric ought to have. A variation of the smock is the Cossack blouse. This is just as apt to reach to the knees as not. It often buttons right up to the chin, or again it is apt to separate down the front entirely to show a vest underneath of richness and beauty. The Cossack blouse, as the name tells, is borrowed from Russia. It has the same drooping fullness at the waist that one sees in the Russian peasant garment, arranged over a wide belt of the same material as the whole garment or of different color and fabric. The skirt of this blouse is always very long, and just as apt to reach to the hem of the skirt as not. It is most often developed in some handsome fabrics such as georgette thickly braided or beaded, or in silken indestructible volle or even in heavier silk or velvet, and naturally is intended for elaborate occasions. There is nothing which offers a simpler way of remodelling an old garment than the use of a Cossack blouse. One can really make a sort of elongated shirt and belt it in at the waist and conform thus strictly to the type. Or the front can be opened, a vest added and the sides of the skirt be left open to show the petticoat of the dress beneath. There are endless ways in which one can vary the design, therefore it has everything to recommend it. Now because there is much talk of these newer models we must not for a moment think that the regulation blouse or shirtwaist is out of favor. Indeed, it is not, and it is repeated in just as many materials as there are factories to make them. The kimono type with its slip-on ease is still much favored for the dressier blouses of geogette or chiffon. Many have a rather tight foundation over which is hung a panel of contrasting color back and front. This panel, while short, is left to hang free over the skirt and is smart in appearance. The sleeves of this blouse are of the same color and material as the body. One often finds this type of waist enveloped in a combination of organdie and linen or pique or heavy lawn. The effect is pleasing and unusual, too. As to the more tailored type of waist for traveling or business there are several models which bid for favor. One of these is the strictly tailored © Western Newspaper Union Gayly embroidered smock adds charm to the wearer who sports a dalnty hat to match. design following the exact lines of a man's shirt and is much affected for sport wear. A long time ago shirts of this sort were made of a brilliant striped percale and these are again in favor—bright red and white stripes vying with those of the most vivid blue or green or yellow or black for first place. These, of course, are strictly tailored and have the appearance of belonging to one's brother, as they demand the same ties and link cuff buttons. Another tailored model is less severe than these, as it has a turned down collar usually added of some heavier material than the sheer lawn or dimity or linen of which the blouse is made. In one model the collar of linen crash becomes a pointed revers extending the entire front and fastening just below the yoke with one large pearl button. Fine lawn is used for the body of the blouse. The cuff which finish the long, tight sleeves are folded back to fasten with buttons or narrow bows of black and white THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO, AUGUST 2, 1919 CHAINS OR BEADS Wood, Japanese Glass and China Worn About Neck. Decorations Hang Below the Waist and Milady Must Have an Ample Supply. "And a string of beads" is sure the last word in the description of every modish summer costume. It is the last touch but by no means the least in importance. Once upon a time a girl thought she was very lucky to possess a neat little string of coral, or a short rope of fine pearls, or possibly a pendant on a gold chain. Now she must have almost as many as she has handkerchiefs. It is often the chain of beads that makes the costume. This is especially true of the collarless frocks that look so unfinished without something about the neck. The shops are showing such a wonderful variety of bead necklaces at an equal variety of prices that one should have no trouble in indulging in two or three at any rate. Those lovely long chains—most of the newer chains reach below the waist—of Japanese glass, china and wooden beads strung on knotted cords and ending in beautiful carved wooden lockets, larger many of them than a silver dollar, look especially good over linen frocks of the chemise variety, or with severe blouses and skirts. For the organdie and voile frocks pretty little chains can be made at home from tinsel cords with Jap or Italian beads and finished off with silken or tinsel tassels. The advan- This jewelry is of carved honnki wood and beads of scarlet give the wearer a distinct personality. tage in making these chains is that they can be planned as an intimate part of the costume. It would not be surprising to hear of some one buying a frock to match her beads, so important has the necklace become. And here is a way to imitate with little trouble and surprising effect those lovely woven chains done on the small wooden looms. Use about eight strands of various colored silks, and lay them parallel, being sure they are exactly the same length. About half way on these at each side weave some small beads for the depth of an inch or so to hold the threads together, and at the bottom where the strands meet in 16 threads weave beads again for a depth of two inches and let the threads ravel into fringe with a bead tied into the end of each. LACE IS ENJOYING A VOGUE Now that the stern war uniforms are a thing of the past and womankind is turning to the most feminine clothes she can find in the general reaction against plainness and severity in dress, lace, the eternal feminine among fabrics, has a large part to play in modes of the moment. Lace parasols, for instance, are enjoying a vogue they have not had since Victorian days, and to match these are lace-velled hats of picturesque lines. At a recent country club opening a woman, who last year never appeared out of her trig motor corps costume, floated across the lawn under one of those new sunshades of black lace; and her hat matched the parasol. The hat was a poke-shaped affair of leghorn, with a brim binding and ribbon band in bright Italian green. Over the green-trimmed leghorn was thrown black lace and a pink rose nestled in the flounce of lace that overhung the brim. The parasol was of Italian green silk and was rather small. The much larger lace cover fell over its edge and rippled softly in every breeze. As for the rest of her costume, this lacy young lady wore a frock of black taffeta made with a most simplicity, a cunning skirt drapery falling over a very narrow skirt that clung about the ankles. Look at the Back. If you want to make the new frock decidedly French, look to the back of it. The French woman always pays much attention to the detail of the back of her frocks. She realizes that she is not a paper doll with a negligible back. A simple chemise frock with a small plaid front might show one curious branding in the back, and STRAW WITH VELVET LEAVES This is a French Tilleul straw hat draped with pink satin ribbon and trimmed with a wreath of velvet-chestnut flowers. MATERIAL FOR RACE COATS Waterproof Satin One of the Novelties of the Moment; Dominating Cape Mantle. A novelty of the moment is black waterproofed satin, which is prepared especially for race coats. To accompany such a coat there might be a draped toque or tam-o-shanter of the satin, and then the wearer could take her pleasure regardless of the warnings of the weather glass. As the season advances one realizes, more and more clearly how great is the attraction of the cape mantle; how firm a hold it has taken upon our affections. There are several things to be said in favor of the garment, which takes so many different forms while always remaining picturesque, but its most potent charm lies half hidden in the fact that it is suitable for everyone. It can be and is worn by women of all ages and sizes; it is not—as are so many of the present-day fashions—obviously intended for youthful, slender figures. Simple chemise robes, made of jersey cloth, are still fashionable. Fine hand embroideries are almost always introduced on the front of the corsage and, more often than not, on the sash ends and short sleeves. Rat's-tail braiding is the rage of the moment. This work is easily achieved, and on navy-blue serge it gives superb results, with touches of black silk embroidery in the interstices. Eyes of approval are once more turning on the demure chemisette of organdie muslin or tulle. Some of these "modesties" are fascinating beyond words; so dainty and yet—"so French!" PEARLS STRUNG WITH CORAL Clever Combination Made Possible by Bringing Out the Stowed-Away Necklaces. A resourceful young woman who wanted a very smart, rather long string of beads to wear with a special frock, looked over her assortment of necklaces before faring forth to pay any money on an expensive neck ornament. Put away in one of her treasure boxes she found two old necklaces of previous years. One was a short but very good string of small pearl beads, hald aside because a short string of beads just encircling the throat was neither very smart nor very becoming with present-style costume. The other necklace was a short string of real coral beads, a leftover from childhood days. She discovered that the small pearl beads and the coral beads were exactly the same size and she hit upon the idea of stringing them together, a pearl bead alternating with a coral bead. Quite a long loop was achieved and the gold clasp from the original coral necklace finished off the new necklace beautifully. FOR THE FANCY WAISTCOATS Wide Black Silk Trimming Band, Richly Embroidered, Affords Splendid Fabric. The demand for fabrics that can be easily converted into waistcoats continues. One fabric that meets the demand is the wide black silk trimming band, embroidered with gold and silver threads. This trimming comes in two widths, one wide enough to make the waistcoat without plecing, the other only wide enough for half the waistcoat. This narrower silk must be pieced down the front, but this plecing is effected with smartness, under a pleat. Some of the new silk sweaters have wide turn-back collars of contrasting color, that extend to form revers down the sides of the front. They are held back by the wide belt. The belt and revers collar on a cerise sweater are of gray, and on a purple sweater they are of soft old gold. Some of the new dotted Swiss negligees are made on tallored lines, with no trimming but Irish crochet buttons and loops of cord to go over them. They have half length sleeves and are made with the waist line shirred in or cords. These, of course, wash easily. Perhaps more dalty are the Swiss negligees made with a binding of colored washable satin ribbon around sleeves and collar, and with perhaps a satin cash run through loops under the arms, or a string sash of the Swiss, ending in little satin bells. COTTON FOR BEST Fabric Is Satisfactory and Is Supplanting Others. It has been within the last few years that cottones were produced in as attractive designs as silks or woolen fabrics. The fact that cottones were cheaper has kept manufacturers from thinking it worth while employing high-priced designers in producing new and attractive designs. So from year to year our ginghams and calicoes have been printed and woven in much the same way, and it is only when we bought silk that we got the most attractive designs. This is still the case to a certain extent, for there is still much to be done in this matter of making cottones more attractive. Still, we can get cotton fabrics that are immensely satisfactory, and we no longer feel that we must denilk or woolen if we would be suitably dressed for the street or for formal occasions. Evening gowns that are immensely attractive are made of organdies and volles of cotton, and street gowns that are appropriate for any sort of occasion are made in cotton foulards and other cotton fabrics. If you can make your own frocks then you can have all sorts of attractive frocks at comparatively small expense. But even if you have to buy them they are not prohibitive, for despite the high cost of labor the manufacturers are managing fo put out good frocks of cotton at a reasonable price. One attractive frock that is put out by one of the manufacturers that would be suitable for any sort of street wear is of cotton foulard with long bell sleeves and a round neck with a collar of white organdie. The bodice extends into hip-length peplums and there is a wide girdle of the poplin, making a sort of Russian blouse effect, thus producing somewhat the effect of a jacket, which we have come to regard as more suitable for outdoor wear. For the busy housewife there is always wisdom in selecting a house frock that has short sleeves, for the task of unbuttoning long sleeves and properly folding them back whenever one has to go about any housework is not worth the advantage of having long sleeves. And in the new frocks there are many that have short sleeves. CARRY FLOWERED HAT BOXES Band Boxes, Gaily Decorated, Now Regarded as a Necessity for Week-End Trips. It is quite the thing now, you know, to carry your best hat along with you in a band box when you go a-visiting or a-week-ending; but, of course, the band box must be a gay and coquettish affair, intensely smart and correct. Such a band box costs about $4, but it is a delightful band box, covered on the outside with flowered cretonne and lined inside with striped canvas. A leather handle crosses the cover and it may be slipped over the arm, and the cover has leather hinges so that it may be raised and lowered without removing it from the box. Someone has prophesied that these cretonne band boxes are going to be as popular as general feminine carryalls as were the huge cretonne knitting bags which women carried a summer or two ago—before the diminutive sock-sized bag became more fashionable.

EASY TO TRIM YOUR OWN HAT Home-Made Headgear Possible for 'Any Woman and Affords Desired Individuality. Never has it been easier to trim your own hat. In the days when it was necessary to adjust a bandeau, to make and fasten in rolls and rosettes of mats, and then to arrange on the top of the hat quantities of complicated trimming the task of making a homemade hat was arduous and the results usually impossible. But for the last few years—this season especially—it is an easy enough matter for a person with a distinct idea of the effect she wants to produce to trim a hat in a satisfactory and professional way. Everything today depends on the line of the hat itself, in the absence of built up trimming, so first select a becoming shape. Then the task is easy. The only disappointment now in the home-made hat is that it is no bargain counter product. It often costs as much as that found trimmed in the millinery shop, for feathers and shapes with the right line cost a pretty penny. However, the woman who wants to be original can be so at a smaller expense if she trims her own hat than if she purchased a really distinctive hat already trimmed. The hat with the brim turned away from the face is a strong rival of the hat that shades the nose. The milliners are making an effort to change the fashion from the latter shape to the former. Last season they turned hats up in the back to show the hair; now they let the brim run straight out at the back, but turn it up in front to show the forehead. Some women show a wave or two of hair or a bit of fringe in the middle of the forehead beneath the up turned brim. This is an innovation. FRILLS AND FLUFFS A gown of black taffeta is flounced with cru point desprit. Much metal lace is used by the French makers of evening gowns. The new linen frocks are particu larly attractive with square necks. The sport skirt and hat frequently are of the same material. White silk braid is used as trimming for crepe de chine underwear. Brilliantly-colored capes are excel lent for daytime or evening wear. Taffeta dresses trimmed with fluted white ruffles are quaint. Some new parasols have flying sprays of embroidery on their colors. More lace is being used on common underclothes than for a long time. A dainty blouse of white batiste features Grecian scalloped collar and cuffs. Checked gingham frocks lend them selves to the quaint fichu for finish. Scarf collars of self materials still are seen on the voluminous wraps of today. Valenciennes lace is favored for trimming dainty blouses and light frocks. Frocks of Linen. Shown side by side with frocks of batiste, organdie, dotted swiss and chambray, there are the loveliness frocks of linen in white and delicate colors. Both the fine soft linen, all most like the French handkerchief linen, and, the heavy coarse weave are liked. The heavier quality makes up beautifully into tailored dresses suits or smocks. Hats are also made of this coarse linen. One lovely mode was in a delicate shade of pink and was trimmed with a heavy cotton fringe. Fine Walsta. One of the latest designs in fine walsts shows a walst made of pearl gray georgette crepe, with a lozenge down the center front. The linen for the attraction, as it is made of white fur and very narrow; ball ends are used on ends of lacer. MITTEE OF WHICH REV. A. J.

The order'for the suspension pending the filing of the charges was then sent out. “If these charges are true, I be- lieve Callahan is responsible for this outrageous rioting,” said the chief. “The fact that he refused to arrest the white boy angered the Negroes, who sought revenge, and the deluge of harted has inundated the city.” Policeman Callahan was immediat- ely stripped of his star and held at the station pending advices from Chief Garrity as to his case.

Some of the many warm friends of Col. Franklin A. Denison who greatly admire him for his many manly qualities have felt right along that in all fairness that he was justly entitled to receive some consideration and recognition from the citizens of Chicago in the way of a public reception and a testimonial for the plendid overseas services which he so unselfishly rendered to his country as commander of the "Old Eighth Regiment of Illinois" or the 370th U. S. Infantry, on the battlefields of France, for it will be recalled that the commanders of the French army were so well pleased with the military achievements of Col. Denison that they changed the name of St. Mihiel sector to Denison sector in honor of him; that he had his men trained so well in all of the latest military tactics that they were able and ready to rush into battle on the firing line or to serve in the trenches 3 to 4 months ahead of the other American soldiers in France, it was for being able to accomplish some of these things before he was stricken down with illness on the French battlefields and ordered home that many of his white and Colored fellow citizens feel deep down in their hearts of hearts that at least a little honor is due him. With this object in view and no politics in it the following friends of Col. Denison who know his worth as a loyal and patriotic American citizen, met Monday afternoon in the chambers of Hon. Thomas F. Scully, the ever popular and liberal minded Judge of the County Court; and after short talks all around it was decided to tender a public reception to Col. Denison and at the same time present him with a fine or a beautiful chest or casket of silver as an evidence of the high esteem he is held in by the citizens of Chicago, regardless of race, color or politics. The affair will be held the latter part of September, at either Orchestra Hall, or the Auditorium Theatre, everything in connection with it will be free, which will enable the very best class of white citizens both men and women to be hold at close range the very best class of Colored men and women of Chicago.

These are regl instances of plants feeding upon animals. Slavery. ‘The Portuguese were the first to hunt negroes in the interior of Africa for use as slaves in the colonies.

Cloth From Pineapples. Aside from its edible qualities the pineapple is little known in this country, says Popular Mechanics Magazine. In China, however, it is especially cultivated for the use of the leaves in making cloth. The fiber is extracted from the leaves by a simple process and made into thread. It is then run on bobbins and spools and is ready for weaving, the old native looms being employed. This water is fine for removing stains. Take one pound of sal soda and five cents' worth of chloride of lime. Put them in an earthen bowl, add two quarts of water and stir. Let it settle, then pour off the water and bottle it. It will remove fruit stains and even indelible ink. Soak till stain disappears; then quickly wash in warm water. Origin of the Handkerchief.
