It has to endure more besuty-sapping ‘wear and should cost ‘& great deal less than the winter eve. ning gown. Then it must be lovely to the eye and yet lack heavy trimming. Well, bere is 2 suggestion for you if you are trying to solve this problem yourself. It is as charming a bit of apparel as you ever saw and you can make it yourself. ‘The charm of it is its colorfulness and its originality. The skirt is made by joining bands of chiffon about five inches wide. Starting at the bem is a pink. then comes 2 band of faintest Nile green, and then comes a lovely pale blue. ‘Then the cycle begins all over again with the pink and continues until the skirt is built up to the waistline. You ‘will wonder how these are fastened together, so that it does not look like = patchwork quilt. Well, they are fagotted together. The waist is per- fectiy plain, comi:g down rather low over the shoulders and has puffed sleeves that end considerably above the elbow. ‘There is 2 triple sash to go with the triple sebeme of the whole dress. Narrow two-toned ribbon is used. Pink. green and blue narrow ribbons—all with silver backs—0 about the waist and end on the side in, very long Igops and ends.

However beautifol the French dresses and gowns may be, the fact remains that the American coat suits outstrip them in style and beauty alse.

It is often lined with a shade contrasting well with the color of the coat. Much embroidery is to be used, we hear, and buttons, too, and fying pan- els to give length. Indeed, some of these panels are most interesting, for they float away apparently without rhyme or reason from the top of the cost, but are really stoles to throw around the neck and shoulders to give extra warmth.

HOP, SKIP AND JUMP HOBBLE Manners Reflected in Style of Clothes —Recall Egyptian and Japanese Way of Dressing. _ ‘The styles of our clothes have been responsible for some interestinz wage of walking. do fact, styies of walkinz are easily to be traced to the sort of skirts we wear. Or is it the other way around? Do we submit to extremes in skirts according as we are willing to give up the privilege of tak ing comfortable, normal steps? => ‘This js not the first time we bave hobbled. But the hobble of 1919 is Just a little different from the hobble of 1913. For one thing, writes a fash- ion correspondent, we are not so do cile about it. We cannot accustom ourselves to it, for we have gone un- checked and unhaltered for so many seasons. So this season's hobbie is character- ized by something that resembles a hop, skip and jump. We make 2 val- iant effort ax if we hoped any minute to be able to step forward unchecked, and finally abandon our efforts to Progress entirely. Then we either give up walking entirely or abandon our tight skirt in favor of one that is wider though not so fashionable. At the resorts, where women have in other seasons promenaded to show their own and to see other women's Rew apparel. and where only those who were too weary or too weak to walk resorted to the wheel chairs, it has been noticed that there were de cidedly fewer promenaders among the women and an unusually larce de mand for the wheel chaira The an- swer is not far to seek. No matter how willing. nay. eager, you may be to walk, if your ankles are shackled. you can't do it. Hence you must either stand or consent to be wheeled. But there is nothing new at all about the hobble step. In fact, the skirt <0 tight as to force women to take mincing steps seems to have been admired since the dawn of history. Screly, the Egyptian women must have hobbled as much ss the young woman of 1919, and the Japanese girl in her narrow hemmed kimono cer- tainly mever knew the freedom that comes with the skirt that is wide and short. p HATS FOR SHORT AND TALL Headgear Most Becoming to Woman With Ouliers: @ 2 gee Rather large bats are leaders in summer millinery, amd sentiment is about equally divided between the pokeshaped affair with narrow back and the hat with wide brim of even width all around.

SUPREME COURT KNOCKS OUT RESIDENCE CLAUSE BARR- ING NEGRO OWNERSHIP Los Angeles, Cal.—Special to The Broad Ax.—For the first time in the history of the United States the Appellate division of a State Supreme Court has rendered a decision holding that individuals have no right to limit the selling or leasing of real estate against the Negro Race. The Supreme Court of Georgia and South Carolina held that cities could not pass ordinances setting apart a portion of the city for the residences of colored people. The Supreme Court of the United States has passed upon that question and has held that cities being parts of the State could not so segregate, but no Supreme Court, until the California Supreme Court, through its Appellate division, rendered a decision in Title Guarantee SPECIAL NOTICE OR ATTENTION OF COLORED PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO WERE INJURED IN ANY WAY BY THEIR WHITE FELLOW CITIZENS, DURING THE RACE RIOTS. The following communication speaks for itself: Chicago, August 7, 1919. Julius F. Taylor, Editor of The Broad Ax:— The State's Attorney's office desires any information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of rioters who have injured or killed colored people. Anyone having such information and who will come to the State's Attorney's office and confer with Assistant State's Attorney Edward E. Wilson will greatly aid the State's Attorney in punishing such persons as committed outrages upon colored citizens. This information should be furnished as soon as possible, as the Grand Jury is now in session and will this week consider the riot cases. The State's Attorney will give ample protection to any one furnishing such information, and he asks for this information because he defies to prosecute all rioters without regard to race or color.

Company vs. Garrott, on the 20th of July, 1919, had gone the length of saying that private individuals could not limit or restrict alienation against Negroes, Japanese, Chinamen, etc. For this reason the case of the Title Guarantee Company vs. H. L. Garrott, a Negro policeman, is of paramount interest to the colored people of the United States. The Title Guarantee Company, a-multi-millionaire corporation of Los Angeles, subdivided the Angelus Park track and put a clause in the deed to each buyer restricting the sale or lease to persons of African, Chinese, or Japanese descent. A purchaser having held one of these lots for six years, sold to H. L. Garrott, a colored police officer, whereupon the Title Company immediately claimed a forfeiture and sought to have the property revert to it in an action filed in the Superior Court in Los Angeles county. JULIUS F. TAYLOR PRAISED FOR HIS COURAGE AND FAIRMINDNESS. Chicago, August 5th, 1919. Editor J. F. Taylor, Permit me to congratulate you upon the fairness of your statement published in The Broad Ax on August 2nd, 1919, of the disturbances which we have been passing through. It is eminently fair and just to both races and will do much, in my judgment, to allay public excitement and to bring all men to a just appreciation of the necessity of law enforcement. I can personally testify to your courage in coming to the City Hall in the interests of the colored people at a time when the excitement was at the highest. If the leaders of both races will exercise the same degree of cool-headedness and sound judgment, I think it is a question of only a short time until everything will be back to a normal condition. Equal justice and fair play to all persons is the desire of right-thinking leaders of both races. Very truly yours, John H. Passmore, Alderman Third Ward. 102 YEAR OLD COLORED MAN WITH REVOLVER DISARMED Perhaps the oldest person picked up by the police as a suspect in the round-up of rioters last week was Sanford C. McCoy, colored, 516 W. Fertieth street, who asserted he is 102 years old. He was arrested near his home by the stock yards police. He carried a loaded revolver. He was disarmed and warned to go to his home. ```markdown ``` RACE RIOTS IN CHICAGO THOUSANDS OF COLOR- ED PEOPLE THROWN OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.

Madden shouted back that he would rush seventy-five policemen there at once and about a half an hour from that time we heard about one hundred revolver shots and Before the car arrived at 47th and Racine a Colored man snaked out from where he had been hiding and being rather dark—he was frightened almost too death for no doubt like yourself he felt that the "Judgement day had come" and as he boarded the car, the white passengers who seemed to be real friendly, urged him to duck down on the floor between them so that the leaders of the mobs would not detect him, as we were sitting in the end seat near the rear door next to a white lady and a white gentleman, next to her, with our face to the west and with our back to the mobs and as long as they failed to rush onto the car they were unable to tell whether we were a white man or a Colored man; but laying all jokes aside we really felt mighty white at that time. Just as the car arrived at 47th and Racine Ave., the conductor, who was a fine manly fellow, whom we have rode with many times in the past gave the motorman another high bell and the car rushed around the corner at breakneck speed and made a bee line for 63rd street, almost refusing to stop to let passengers off and the very next car to follow it was held up at 51st and Racine Ave., where the mob rushed it dragging off one poor law-abiding defenseless Colored man who met his death there at the hands of the mob and from the time that the car turned on to Archer Ave., at 19th and State street until it arrived at 63rd and Racine Ave., we did not behold one single policeman for that was one time in our life that we really was looking for a policeman for protection. That same Monday.evening, after we had arrived home right side up with care to the great joy of Mrs. Taylor, along about ten o'clock, a gang of young roddies ran along on 62nd street on the north side of our little home, the police shooting at them to beat the band, for they had been over on Ada and Loomis streets beating up Colored men and women, that same evening a motor truck loaded with dead toughts rushed along on those same streets and with much pleasure the men in the truck greatly amused themselves by shooting into the homes of the Colored people. On Tuesday evening after arriving home about six o'clock hundreds of desperate or rough looking white men could be observed rushing west from Racine Ave., and from other points to Ada and Loomis streets for that was the night that they intended to clean out the Colored people residing in that district, when we beheld a mob of almost four thausand men crowding around the corners of those streets, we rushed in the house, grabbed the telephone receiver and in a Jiffy we were connected up with Capt. Madden at the Englewood Police station. After informing him that four or Baltimore, Md. (Special to The Broad Ax)—Cardinal Gibbons, the head of the Catholic Church in the United States, was loud in his condemnation of the recent rioting in Washington. The Cardinal, who celebrated his 85th birthday, said: "We are now afflicted with a war of races in the national capital, where much blood has already been shed and lives sacrificed. Alas, it is a proof that a legislative suppression of intoxicating drinks is not, as it was said it would be, a panacea for all social and moral evils." Dr. J. H. Plummer, 3801 S.

Madden shouted beck that he would rush seventy-five policemen there at once and about a half an hour from that time we heard about one hundred revolver shots and within a few moments a gang of 50 young white criminals ran at breaknek speed past the house, the police hot on their trail all the time blazing away at them; which caused the greatest excitement in all parts of the neighborhood. In the meantime we had phoned to a prominent white citizen residing in Engelwood to use his influence with the police department in an effort to protect the lives and the property of all the people residing in that district, he was away from home at that time but we left word with his wife, who is one of the most prominent social leaders in Chicago to please request her distinguished husband to call us up when he returned home. Near 11 o'clock the phone rang and it was the voice of our loyal friend on the other end of the wire and he declared that "he had sat for one hour with the receiver in his hand endeavoring to connect up with us for he felt that we were in trouble. We heartily thanked him for his steadfast friendship; at the same time informing him that everything was alright, that seventy-five policemen had scattered the mob of four or five thousand who were fully determined to burn the homes of the Colored people and murder them while escaping from the roaring flames. He responded that if there was any more trouble, to let him know and he would have General F. S. Dickson to march some soldiers into the district without delay. On Wednesday night the soldiers were in evidence throughout the district and everybody felt greatly relieved and overjoyed that everything turned out as well as it did. It is a pleasure to state that the white neighbors were very friendly—that many of them assisted the Colored people in many ways during the disorder and rioting. Mr. and Mrs. John Sipple, our nearest white neighbors who are highly respectable and honest, were especially kind and considerate to Mrs. Taylor, every day and night while we were absent from home, they requested her to remain in their home—that she would receive the same protection as the members of their family, in case the rioters hoved in sight; many of the other white neighbors proved themselves equal to the occasion, many of them had never spoken to us before, visited the house, both men and women, old and young, and they assured us that they were friendly to Colored people, that they were willing to assist to protect those residing near unto them and they clapped their hands with gladness every time that we arrived home safe from down-town. In conclusion we feel very greateful to all of them for the unflinching friendship which they boldly displayed on that exciting and trying occasion. Gilmer, Texas.

The cortege was headed by Sgt. Berry's Band, followed by thirty officers. The national and state colors were carried at the head of the procession. The late John Simpson was a world war veteran having served over seas as Mess Sgt. with the 365 Infantry. Rev. Lewis, a life long friend of the family offered the prayers and read the obituary; Mrs. Harris, a personal friend of the bereaved monther, sang most feelingly and beatiful. Capt. Braddan, Pastor of U. Berean, delivered the funeral oration, recounting the unselfish part played by the deceased and his comrades, in the recent disturbance during which time Simpson meet his death at his post of duty. The Pastor urged the erecting of a monument to commemorate the fact of Officer Simpson being the first officer to fall in the conflict, that will finally result in the Negro occupying a larger place in the Economic and Industrial life of Chicago, and in making the living conditions in Chicago better. He pointed with pride to the way in which the officer carried on in protecting life and property irrespective of color; and urged the City to show its appreciation by appointing a large number of Race men on the force. CHURCHES UNITE TO STOP RIOTS Southern Bishop Blames Bad Housing for Recent Race Troubles in Chicago New York.—Plans to end race conflicts will be made by representatives of all church denominations at work among Negroes here early next month. Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield of New Orleans, representing the Methodist Episcopal Church, announced today that a call for the conference was decided at a meeting of the Federal Council of Churches and the Home Mission Council. "It is proposed to reach all Protestant ministers and give them a clearer view of the seriousness of the situation, especially in the larger cities. "Looking for the underlying causes of race outbreaks, we see the housing conditions, with six persons where there ought to be two. Chicago woke up to find a Negro population of 150,000, one-third of which was dumped into the city within the last two years.

"It is my conviction that the Republican party has betrayed us. Unless it again takes up its burden of defending the rights of humanity and standing by the Negro it will not soon again come into power." CHICAGO RACE RIOTS On the surface, the race riots taking place in Chicago are the result of racial antipathy. At the base, they have an economic basis. This economic reason is two-fold. Over 75,000 Negroes came to Chicago during the war in response to call of the employers for men to take the places of white workers who had joined the army. Large numbers of these went to work in the packing plants. Since many white men have been discharged from the army they find the employers have not discharged the Negro workers to make places for them, and they are naturally resentful that they cannot have "their" jobs back again. Among the workers, the race riots are part of the fight for jobs. A worse feature of the situation is caused by the real estate dealers and rental agents. The Negroes in Chicago are mostly living in what has been a low-rent section. Contemplated city improvements will make what is now the Negro section of the city a most desirable residence section. The real estate agents are trying to have the Negroes move from three to five miles further south. Many of the Negroes own property in the section of the city known as the "Black Belt" which they want to retain so they may themselves have the benefit of the rise in prices that will come with the city improvements. Just where the tragedy will end is hard to say. But certain it is that the ones who are responsible—the large employers and the real estate sharks will never be brought to the bar of justice for having made the conditions that forced these riots. A few workers, colored and white, will be tried for rioting, perhaps for murder, but those who are really responsible will go unwhipped of justice—and in the end make money out of the deal—From The New Solidarity, Aug. 7th. 1919. OPEN COLORED RESIDENCE DISTRICT IN ATLANTA GA Atlanta, Ga. (Special to The Broad Ax).—Atlanta's Colored citizens as well as those from other parts of the state, are displaying extreme gratitude over Ashby Heights, the beautiful new residential park recently opened with an entrance at the junction of Ashby and Hunter streets. Only desirable colored citizens will be allowed the privilege of buying a lot in this section. There will be no congested housing conditions, for the lots are large and each lot will have only one house on it. This fact prevents one man's house from being ruined by another's shack being built too close to him. Ashby Heights is the most modern and only subdivision of its kind in the South. It is for the betterment of housing conditions among coloured people of this section and not simply a money making scheme. THE CHICAGO CLERGY'S MESSAGE ON THE NEGRO The following statement issued by Chicago Federation Council was read in Chicago pulpits Sunday. Recent events in Chicago alarm and shock us, but at the same time move us to weigh our duty. Other people have come to our shores to better their condition; we brought the Negroes here to better our condition. We cannot ignore our debt of gratitude for the part they played in the world war, as indispensable laborers, as courageous soldiers and as supporters in full of every aid undertaken at home. In the past we, in Chicago, made it necessary for them to live near the haunts of vice which we established. We have permitted gambling to flourish in their midst and we imposed upon them the vicious American saloon. At the same time we unjustly closed many fields of labor to them, causing the neediest to seek work among the demoralizing influences with which we surrounded them. Notwithstanding this, our Negro citizens were law-abiding and gave us no trouble until for commercial purposes others were brought from the South in such great numbers that housing and other living conditions are inadequate, and as yet we have been unable to effect a readjustment. We are now gathering the fruit of our own sowing. The Negro hoodlums whom we created under the conditions named joined our white hoodlums, and they together planted the seeds of riot in the fertile soil of injustice which prejudice always imposes. While the recent riots have witnessed the most sickening brutality on the part of the Negro people, the whites have been no less cruel; in a great number of instances the stronger race has fallen upon the weaker with ferocity and without DEVIL RUNS RIOTS, SAYS DR. BOYNTON Woodlawn Baptist Clergyman Says Good Negro Holds Place of Good White in Heaven. "The rioting o the past week is of the devil," said the Rev. M. P. Boynton, D.D., pastor of the Woodlawn Baptist Church, last Sunday in a prelude to his sermon. His subject was "The Devil in Chicago." Dr. Boynton said: "There is no passion of the human heart more diabolical than a mere race prejudice. To hate a fellow human being because he is of another race is to prove that we are survivals of savagery and that the evil spirits still dominate our hearts and minds. Negro Good as White. "A virtuous, industrious, self-respecting Negro is just as acceptable to God as is the white of the same high qualities. The hatred in the Negro's heart for the white face and the prejudice in the white's breast for the Negro are one and the same evil passion. In both races we have the undeveloped and ignorant classes who thus clash with one another." "The strong measures used by the governor and the mayor for the suppression of the rioting are highly commended by all right thinking people in this state and city. Riots must be dealt with ruthlessly. "The only permanent cure for such social disorder is in the fear of God. He alone can cleanse the human heart, cool the fires of passion and make men of all sorts dwell together in unity." P. W. UPSHAW LANDS IN A GOOD POSITION IN THE OFFICE OF HON. JAMES A. KEARNS, CHIEF CLERK OF THE MUNICIPAL COURT. P. W. Upshaw, who has for many years been a strong factor, in the Republican Party in the first ward and who has always been a steadfast supporter of Hon. Charles S. Deneen, and his wing of the Republican Party, has been appointed to a good position in the file room of the Municipal Court of which Hon. James A. Kearns is the Chief Clerk of that court. Mr. Upshaw's appointment is indeed very pleasing to his many friends. There is no higher or clearer statement of our duty toward our dark brothers than the rule laid down in a very ancient decision which has never been overruled—one which we usually refer to as the Golden Rule Let us resolve, in view of the conditions obtaining within the last few days, to recognize our Negro neighbors as Americans who have always been loyal to America in the face of bad treatment; let us recognize them as fellow citizens entitled to the rights and protection of other citizens; let us treat them as men and women entitled to share fully and equally the boasted opportunity of America; let us do this in a friendly spirit worthy of Christians, and of Americans. In an emergency, such as the present, it is the manifest duty of the churches to bear emphatic testimony to the need of calmness, sanity and sympathy with all of both races who are oppressed by the iniquities of the present social order. The message of Christianity, as always in the past, is one of brotherhood and aspiration for good will and co-operation, which are the bases of the peace and welfare of every community. The efforts of all the people of all the churches are needed at this time to restore order and confidence and to make impossible the recurrence of the violence and lawlessness which are disgracing our city.

The laws of the country are the life of the country, and no one really loves his country who does not respect and obey her laws." Thus did the Rev. John Roach Straton of Calvary Baptist Church conclude his sermon tonight on the recent Chicago race riots. He said there was just as much need on the northern side of the Mason and Dixon line to get rid of the spirit of self-righteousness and hypocrisy as there was on the southern. The Rev. Mr. Straton preached his sermon in the form of a general question that might best be quoted by the words "Is the South the only sinner in the anti-Negro riots?"

WILLETT APPEALS FOR JUSTICE TO NEGRO RACE The Rev. Dr. H. L. Willett, D. D., of the University of Chicago, president of the Chicago Church Federation, referring to the race riots in Chicago, in an address at the West Pullman Methodist Episcopal Church The Program this week at The Moseley Stadium and Dixieland Park has been a most splendid one.

The August Bread-line brought about by the refusal on the part of the Packers to take back their Colored employees as the result of the Race Rioting of last week is in fulfillment of the prophecy and warning given last week.—"C" NEGRO NO SHIRKER IN WAR The Rev. Austin Hunter, in his sermon on Sunday night at the Jackson Boulevard Christian Church, spoke on "The Race Riots." Doctor Hunter said: "We have been shocked by the race riots in our city. It is time to counsel calmnes sand consideration. Our self-appointed leaders have proved mischief makers in both the race riots and the street car situation. "The Negro has not imposed himself upon us in this country, he came by special invitation and he is here to stay. He has not been a shirker as a laborer or as a soldier. The Rev. Dr. John P. Brushingham at Central Park Ave. Methodist Episcopal Church, speaking on the race riots in his sermon said: "We must have an aroused sense of justice and fair play. We must have a square deal, the spirit of give and take, a desire to live and let live. Under these conditions strikes, lock-outs and race riots would die out. "Social relations must be based more on sympathy rather than any skin deep adjustment, not only on the observance of the law of the land, but the higher law of brotherly love." Mrs. W. O. Washington, daughter of Mrs. Lenora Graves, has become the owner of the Provident Candy Shop, at 15 W. 36th street, near State and she is fixing it up real neat and doing a nice business.

Dr. H. L. Willett, D.

"In the past we in Chicago made it necessary for them to live near the haunts of vice which we established. We have permitted gambling to flourish in their midst and we imposed upon them the vicious American saloon. At the same time we unjustly closed many fields of labor to them, causing the neediest to seek work among the demoralizing influences with which we surrounded them." NEGRO RIOTS HORRID BLOT Dean Lewis B. Fisher, of the University of Chicago in a sermon Sunday at St. Paul's Universalist Church preached on "The Affirmation of Incarnation." "The great majority of men and women in Chicago are decent and believe in the brotherhood of man. It is shocking beyond words that a small number of heathen hoodlums, untouched by the Christ, can suddenly perpetrate this outrage, in defiance of all of us who love the Christ. LAXITY OF POLICE BLAMED BY THRASHER FOR RIOTS Gradual relaxation of police vigilance during the past six months is responsible for the storm of lawlessness and rioting that has just swept Chicago, according to Samuel P. Thrasher, superintendent of the Committee of Fifteen. Unofficial investigation of the circumstances of the disorders revealed the fact that 85 per cent of the whites involved were young hoodlums between fifteen and eighteen, says Thrasher. DISCHARGE NEGRO SAILORS ON WHITES' ULTIMATUM Fifteen Negro employees on the Goodrich Transit Company steamship Florida were discharged Monday night, when the boat docked here. The white workers on the boat told Capt. Joseph Brookhyser when the vessel was still out in the lake that either the Negroes must be discharged or they would quit when the boat docked. Mrs. Martha J. Rogers, of Morgan Park, Ill., the widow of Rev. Samuel Rogers was in the city this week on business. --- CHARLES E. STUMP, THE KANSAS NEWSPAPER FARMER, CONTINUES TO TRAVEL THROUGH MANY SECTIONS OF THE SOUTH AND HAS A RIP-ROARING TIME Portsmouth, Va.—It is a wise man who changes, I am told, but I don't remember who it is that will not change. Have you felt any changes lately? Have you felt like you have been born again, and love your neighbor as yourself? If you have then you are getting ripe for the kingdom of God. I was down in the state of Senator Vadaman last week. The state that advertised a lynching and it took place on scheduled time. I was down where the Baptists held their big meeting and put down on the table $15,000 or something like that. They just had an Old Aunt Dolly Time there. There were some big Baptist preachers there and I was glad to see them and to hear them big speeches. The main meetings were held in the Baptist church and were presided over by Bishop A. M. Johnson of Vicksburg. Now when it comes to Dr. Johnson, he is some pumpkins in the pulpit and don't forget it. He is pulpit manners in the highest degree. He is my ideal preacher. There was a big meeting pulled off in the courthouse yard Friday afternoon. It was arranged for by the chamber of commerce. Dr. Sutten E. Griggs was the speaker, and you will believe me when I tell you he is some speaker, and I want you to agree with me, and you will if you have ever heard him say anything if only open his mouth and let the words come out. His head is full of wisdom, and I just saw it come out and float in the air like flue germs, striking here and there, and I hope for good. Dr. Griggs showed my people where they should remain in the South, the land of milk and honey, the land of gold, the land which meant so much to the race. The speech was full of wisdom from the end to the start, and there were interruptions of amens. Something has converted Dr. Griggs, and he was once lost but now he is found; blind but now he sees. He sees the South in a different light, and hears the voice of his brother as he has never heard it before. I would recommend that the Chamber of Commerce see to it that Dr. Griggs is placed beyond want, for he is serving the South and serving it well. I have for him words of praise, for he has been wise enough to change his mind. Of course, some of our people must be on all sides of questions and there must be a middle man. I don't know where I am, for I am not prepared to say stay in the South until I can get the assurance that we are going to have high schools like others, that we are going to be allowed to use the franchise like others, that we will be able to serve God like others, that our life and property will be safe like others; that lynching will be a thing of the past and we will be tried by jurors and judges like others. Then I will be ready to say to the members of my race, "Stay right down here and serve the white folks as you have always done." Just a few days ago the white folks advertised a great lynching in Mississippi, and the people stopped their work and went to town to see a man burned at the stake or something like that, and when the governor was appealed to stop it he said that it was not in his power, hence the big feast went on and only the black man was the sufferer, and the white men who took part in it were the criminals in all the world. They committed a worse crime against civilization than some one else I have heard them talk about recently. I don't remember the fellow's name, but they have talked about him and if I can learn his name will let you know. The Baptists have paid their college out of debt and are now planning for bigger things down in Mississippi. I enjoyed being in the city of Greenville, the place made famous by the late E. W. Lampton, and who put it on the map for me. Lampton is dead, but his influence will ever live, and his daughter, Mrs. E. D. Lampton-Baccus, will ever hold him up. She is the very spirit of PAGE FIVE her father and possesses all of his business traits. She is strictly a business woman. I had the pleasure of seeing one of her sisters, Miss Ethel Lampton, and by the way she is the only real Lampton left, for Mrs. P. Gertrude Lampton has attached Walker to her name, Cornella, has Forest to her name, hence the good work goes on. But one from Greenville, I took my seat on the Southern headed for the place where I am right now. I rode all Saturday, reaching Birmingham Saturday night, and went out to the home of Mrs. Carrie A. Tuggle, who had me a fine supper, and then I went to Dr. Alf Thomas, where I spent the night. He got up at 5 o'clock Sunday morning, hitched up his automobile wagon, by a few turns, and soon had me on the Seaboard Air Line Wagon, headed for his place. It was a nice, comfortable place and I did not get up until I reached here, riding all day and all night and up to 10 o'clock the next morning. Now I am here in town. But would it be of interest for me to tell you just a few things that happened. People forget modesty and good manners when they travel and get to love-making. As a rule you can tell when they are not married, for that is the time they can do so many foolish things. For instance, I met a young woman, who was going to Philadelphia. I talked with her a little while and then another gentleman talked to her. She was bidding farewell to the South and going to join the saints in the North. Mr. Harper told me that she was a fine young woman. But she spoiled it all before the night was over. She met a young man, and they talked from behind each other for a while, then he got on the seat with her, and soon htey were asleep locked up like two peas in a shell. How loving. I aroused them, asking if they needed a preacher. Now in Portsmouth, where I am this week, I am at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Levi Brown. Levi Brown is president of the Mutual Savings Bank, of Portsmouth, one of the leading institutions in this section of the country. He is strictly a business man, and his wife, is his wife, and you believe me she is a very queen in the home. They have two children, Fannie May and Lula. These little girls are being educated by their parents. Mrs. Brown was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Mason. She came into the world via Seaboard, North Carolina. Just how many years ago I don't know, but she decided that it was a good place and has remained here ever since that first she struck the world. Heaven is her home, but she is not home sick. Then she got down to school, got her education, and about 14 years ago decided to become the wife of a prosperous young business man, Levi C. Brown. They have a lovely home, and she is a factor in the community. She is a fine housekeeper and a good cook, a loving mother. I am delighted to have met her and her friends. I have just been riding in a Lexington horrorsess can, and I think I will have to come back and ride some more. J. S. Jones is here and I shall have something to tell you about him and the Tide Water Bank and Trust Company in my next letter. Look out for my next for I will have many good things to say to you. God bless you and the world. Things are looking a little rocky in this world, but then let us trust God and be prepared to do the rest. I am going to ask God to direct me what to do. If it calls for shooting and God tells me to shoot, I will shoot, and shoot to kill in the protection of home.

The speech was full of wisdom from the end to the start, and there were interruptions of amens. Something has converted Dr. Griggs, and he was once lost but now he is found, blind but now he sees. He sees the South in « different light, ‘and hears the voice of his brother as has never heard it before. I would recommend that the Chamber of ‘Commerce see to it that Dr. Griggs is placed beyond want, for he is serv- ing the South and serving it well. I have for him words of praise, for he has been wise enough to change his mind. . Of course, some of our people must be on all sides of questions and there must be a middle man. I don’t know where I am, for I am not prepared to say stay in the South until I can get the assurance that we are going to have high schools like others, that ‘we are going to be allowed to use ‘the franchise like others, that we will [be able to serve God like others, that jour life and property will be safe ‘like others; that lynching will be 2 [thing of the past and we will be tried by jurors and judges like others. ‘Then I will be ready to say to the members of my race, “Stay right down here and serve the white folks ‘as you have always done.” A Just 2 few days ago the white folks advertised @ great lynching ir Mis sissippi, and the people stopped their work and went to town to see a man burned at the stake or something like that, and when the governor was sp- pealed to stop it he said that it was not in his power, hence the big feast went on and only the black) man ‘was the sufferer, and the white men who took part in it were the) criminals in all the world.

I had the pleasure of seeing one of her sisters, Miss Ethel ‘Lampton, and by the way she is the ‘only real Lampton left, for Mrs. P. Gertrude Lampton has attached Walker to her name, Cornelis, has Forest to her name, hence the good work goes on. But one from Greenville, I took my seat on the Southern headed for the place where I am right now. I rode all Saturday, reaching Birming- ham Saturday night, and went out to the home of Mrs. Carrie A. Tug- gle, who had me a fine’ supper, and then I went to Dr. Alf Thomas, where I spent the night He got up at 5 o'clock Sunday morning, hitched up his automobile wagon, by a few turgs, and soon had ‘me on the Sea- | beard Air Line Wagon, headed for |}his place. It was a nice, comfortable s| place and I did not get ap until I ;]reached here, riding all dey and all jnight and up to 10 o'clock the next | morning. || Now Iam here in town. But would it be of interest for me to tell you |just a few things that happened. People forget modesty and good man- |ners when they travel and get to love- |making. As a rule you can tell when they are not married, for that is the |time they can do so many foolish things. For instance, I met a young | woman, who was going to Philadel- |phia. I talked with her a little while |and then another gentleman talked |to her. She was bidding farewell to the South and going to join the | saints in the North. Mr. Harper told |me that she was a fine young woman. || But she spoiled it all before the night ,Was over. She met a young man, Jand they talked from behind each '|other for a while, then he got on the |seat with her, and soon htey were | asleep locked up like two peas in = shell. How loving. I aroused them, | asking if they-needed a preacher. | Now in Portsmouth, where I am this week, I am at the home of Mr. }is president of the Mutual Savings Bank, of Portsmouth, one of the lead- ing institutions in this section of the country. , He is strictly a business man, and his wife, is his wife, and you believe me she is a very queen in the home. They have two children, Fannie May and Lula. These little girls are being educated by their par- Jents. Mrs. Brown was the dangther of Mr. and Mrs James Mason. She came into the world vis Seaboard, North Carolina.

The Black Rood was a relic brought to Scotland by the wife of Malecon Cannmore, and long held in extreme veneration by the Scots. It consisted of a cross of gold, including a piece of the true cross, set in an ebony figure of Christ. It was deposited with the regalia in Edinburgh castle, and carried with them to England by Edward I, and used by him to give increased solemnity to the oaths he exacted from the Scottish magnates. All trace of it is now lost. Famous French Ecclesiastic. Famous French Ecclesiastic. The Swan of Cambral was Fenelon, archbishop of Cambral, born in 1651 and died in 1715. Of him "The Catholic Encyclopedia" says: "With him disappeared one of the most illustrious members of the French episcopate, certainly one of the most attractive men of his age—one of the most attractive, brilliant and puzzling figures that the Catholic church has ever produced." Saving's Silly: See This "Rotten policy to save! Fatal to save! Find out when it's too late, don't want what you've been saving for—outgrown your impulses. Buried with your bank book and every one glad you're dead. No—no. Spend while you're young. Get a hold on all the friendship and all the love within reach—and then, why then, when you're old, at least memories will be yours as comforters." "Our Wonderful Selves," by Roland Pertwee. Origin of Specie Mrs. Wayup—"Whence did Mrs. de Style get her new hat?" Mrs. Blase—"That's a problem. She bought it with the money which her husband borrowed from her uncle, who had won it in a poker game from her brother, to whom she had loaned it shortly after her mother had taken it from her father's pockets and given it to her for a birthday present." Old Belgian Newspaper. Otto Gleibner Newspaper. The oldest newspaper in Belgium is the Gazette van Gent, which received the privilege of printing the Genditsche Post Tydinghen on November 17, 1666, and which has existed almost continuously since the first number was printed on January 1, 1607. The oldest copy preserved is No. 67 of September 8, 1607. Language That Will Live. Language That Will Live. Language is the vehicle of thought; and the tongue which can most quickly and clearly put that thought across between buyer and seller, between thinker and inquirer, is the language that will prevail. Languages are alive because they have kept up with the march of thought and events; and those that have not are dead. Haiti a Stricken Country. Haiti's many revolutions have sadly interfered with the normal life of the people. On the trails of the country districts one passes a never-ending stream of women—mile after mile and nothing but the female of the species—most of them with baskets on their heads. Value of Herbs in Cookery. The old-fashioned kitchen garden was not considered complete without its small collection of "pot herbs"—sage, thyme, and other medicinal and savory herbs. French cooking is noted for its fine flavor, and this is largely because French cooks excel in the skillful use of herbs. If Vermont Was Flat I met a Vermont Yankee lately, and the main thing he bragged about was the amount of maple sugar shipped from his town every spring. But he did not say that Vermont rolled out flat would be as big as Ohio.—E. W. Howe's Monthly. The "Getaway" in Gotham. A New York newspaper has received a number of letters on the best method of accomplishing a graceful "getaway" when making a call. One correspondent says he manages it by exclaiming suddenly: "Oh, can the piffle; I guess I gotta be goin'." First American Bridge First American Bridge. The first American suspension bridge was erected in 1801 by James Finley across Jacobs creek, Westmoreland county, Pennsylvania. It had a span of 70 feet and cost $6,000. Beware of the Flatterer. "Flattery," said Uncle Eben, "is generally a scheme foh easy money makein', wifout even gain' to de trouble of fixin' up a gold brick or a satchel of green goods." Keep Doorknobs Tight. Doorknob screws often work out and let the knob come off. This may be prevented by removing loose screws, covering them with glue and screwing them back into place. Potash In Bracken Potash in Bracken. It is believed that the ash of bracken contains 40 to 50 per cent of soluble potash. The potassium occurs chiefly as sulphate and chloride. Soft Wood Good Fuel. The idea that hard wood is any better than soft for fuel has been found erroneous. Moraling "grouchiness" is frequently nothing more than a product of the late hour habit. So is a tendency to see the world at all times through smoked glasses. Prolong the hours of sleep and optimism may soon replace the pessimism deplorably in evidence in many short sleepers. And with the change in mood will come an increase in working power. For pessimists are notoriously inefficient workers, if only because of the mental and physical deoralization which pessimism always involves in some degree. Carnegie Pension Fund. Carnegie Pension Fund. The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching provides retiring pensions for the teachers of universities, colleges and technical schools in the United States, Canada and Newfoundland, which are on their accredited list. The pension is given to a teacher who has reached the age of sixty-five years and has given specified service or to one who has served 25 years as a professor or 30 years as a professor and instructor, in the case of physical disability. Miracles Due to Mothers Medicine can to some extent prevent disease from attacking the child; medicine cannot perform miracles. It is a miracle if children brought up in foul and evil surroundings grow up healthy and wholesome men and women. The miracle, incidentally, is usually accomplished not by doctors but by the self-sacrifice and heroism of the mother of the children, who too often loses her own health in the process.—London Times. Language and Thought Language is properly the servant of thought, but not unfrequently becomes its master. The conceptions* of a feeble writer are greatly modified by his style; a man of vigorous powers makes his style bend to his conceptions—a fact compatible enough with the acknowledgment of Dryden that a rhyme had often helped him to an idea—Clulow. Music a Necessity. Music is not one of the luxurious superfluities in our time. It has come to be classed as a necessity. It is, like flowers, the staff of life to the hungry soul upon a pilgrimage. It is in relief to all the strident and discordant sounds made in the fevered industrial rack and turmoll of "man's fiftful uproar mingling with his toll." Contract Marriages Contract marriage is now the commonly accepted doctrine that marriage is a civil contract requiring only the free and intelligent consent of parties capable of contracting. A contract of this sort, drawn up and signed, is a marriage in the eyes of the law in all the states. Stature Inherited Not only is stature as a whole inherited, but also, and even more clearly, each segment of stature, such as neck, length of torso, thigh and foreleg. And the inheritance of the length of these segments follows the same law as does the length of stature as a whole. Admiration for Bravery If there be one thing upon this earth that mankind loves and admires better, than another, it is a brave man—it is a man who dares to look the devil in the face and tell him he is a devil—President Garfield. Youthful Diplomacy Little Roy and his cousin were sitting on an arm chair in rather close quarters, when Roy said: "Mary, there would be more room for me on this chair if one of us gets off."—Boston Transcript. Flossy Gelatin An Englishman has discovered a process whereby iridescent and mother of pearl effects can be given to sheets of gelatin, useful for many purposes. Checks Mine Fires. To check the spread of flames in mine explosions an automatic device has been invented that scatters rock dust into the rushing air that precedes them. Holland Coal. Experts have estimated for the government that Holland's coal deposits contain more than 5,000,000 tons, but none of it is first grade fuel. What Makes One Old? According to a Romanian scientist, old age is due solely to a decrease in the amount of water in the human system. Opportunity Opportunity never hunts a man up, but it clings fast to good brains like a burr holds fast to good wool.—J. J. Hill. Daily Thought. Honest bread is very weil—it's the butter that makes the temptation.—Douglas Jerrold. To Shine Isinglass. Use a flannel rag moistened with vinegar to shine Isinglass. Old-Time Drinking Vessels. Wine was first drunk out of the mazer bowl, made of light maplewood, highly polished, and afterward out of a huge horn. Silver bowls were next introduced and about the time when Queen Elizabeth's sun was setting vessels made of Venetian glass first made their appearance at state banquets. Beer was usually carried from the cellar to the table in the eighteenth century in large leathern tankards, called "blackjacks," lined with silver or provided with a silver rim. The Gypsy's Revenge. W. H. Campbell had his fortune told last week by one of the gypsies who have been in this neighborhood lately. While he was getting some gasol'ne at a trip to Albany, he was approached by one of the fortune tellers, who asked for money. On his refusal to "come across" she told him he would have bad luck all the rest of the day. And sure enough, he had gone only a short distance when the rear axle of his car broke!—Oregonian. A mile merges ship feet block appea that The would would would came Gate for Stairs Procure a piece of heavy canvas and hem to fit the required space; sew a snap book to each corner. Place two screw eyes on each side of the hall, one as near the floor as possible, the other in the width of the canvas from lower one. The canvas is readily snapped in place on the screw eyes, forming an effective gate. With a screw in the banister the gate can be snapped out of the way when the kiddies are in bed. Rubber Preservative A preparation that may be used for preserving rubber may be made by getting a saturated solution of turpentine in denatured alcohol. The point of saturation is known by a drop of undissolved turpentine remaining in the alcohol. A little more alcohol is added to dissolve this drop and the solution is saturated. Rubber articles should be occasionally painted or swabbed with this solution. Carn Honored In Japan. Even in Japan the jellyfish is in repute, since that creature, once a boned fish like the carp, was beaten to a jelly by his king because he allowed himself to be gulled and outwitted by a monkey. But the carp is honored and sung, and every Japanese boy looks forward to the day he may, if called on, meet the chopper with the same stocal behavior.—New Orleans Times-Picayune. Charles James Fox Charles James Fox was one of the progressives of English politics, as well as one of the most brilliant orators and statesmen in the history of England. Like most thinking people of his day, he favored freedom of the American colonies and was constantly in opposition to the German king, George III, who was then sitting on the English throne. Relief for the Nervous The treatment for nervous disorders is diversion. Attention transferred and directed into new channels, new friends, new faces, new scenes, new habits, changed sleeping rooms, new rations, everything radically altered and wholly different will in time relieve almost all such conditions. Making It a Family Affair. Junior was much interested in his mother's approaching marriage. A short time before the date set for the wedding his mother was ill with tonsillitis. Junior was in distress and going to his mother he said: "Mother, hurry up and get well, for it won't do for you to be sick when we marry Richard." Expression Easily Understood Are sticks really cross, and, if so, why should two sticks be particularly cross? Hold the two sticks before you to form the letter X or the cross. It is from this rather cheap trick and poor pun that we derive the expression that a person is as cross as two sticks. Venerable American City Venetian American City. Absecon, N.J., was the site of an old Indian mint of pre-Constitution days. Wampum was extensively manufactured there. Its name, meaning Place of Swans, was given on account of the flocks of these birds which in the early days frequented the town. In His Line Lady of the House (to the doctor)—I'm so glad you came along, doctor. Some unexpected guests have arrived and the butcher hasn't turned up. Would you mind killing a couple of chickens for me?—Pearson's Weekly. What He Didn't Understand. Joe had been spending his first vacation on a farm. When for the first time he saw the chickens all lined up on the roost he exclaimed, "How do they ever stick on to that grand stand while they are asleep?" Guiding the Line. So that painters can do striping accurately a tool has been invented that resembles dividers, one leg consisting of a fountain pen to hold paint and the other serving as a guide. After all, what if we do overpraise a man when he is dead, doesn't he get lots of undcserved abuse while he is living?—Boston Transcript. Some Colign of Vantage. From the Metropolitan tower, New York, on a clear day can be seen the homes of one-sixteenth of the entire population of the United States. Daily Thought. The one thing of value in the world is the active soul.—Emerson. The Gypsy's Revenge W. H. Campbell had his fortune told last week by one of the gypsies who have been in this neighborhood safely. While he was getting some gasoline at the Halsey garage, preparatory to a trip to Albany, he was approached by one of the fortune tellers, who asked for money. On his refusal to "come across" she told him he would have bad luck all the rest of the day. And sure enough, he had gone only a short distance when the rear axle of his car broke!—Oregonian. Literature for the Blind. The first book in English printed in raised or embossed letters for the use of the blind was issued at Edinburgh 82 years ago by James Galt. The first attempt to provide literature for the sightless was made in 1786 by Hauy, at Paris, who invented a system of printing raised letters. Hauy used the Ilyrian or Slavonian alphabet in the few brief works he published, and his project ended in failure. Worthless Without Moral Sense. Men must learn to discriminate, and that implies a moral sense and an enlightened and disciplined will. Without them failure in the business of life is certain. Masterpl natures without moral sense, or, if they have it, disobedient to it, are always weak natures. History gives the record of many such. They are profitable for "instruction in righteousness." Somewhat Elderly "Boy." "What's the matter with Flossie tonight?" somebody asked Tessie Tabasco in the dressing room, indicating one of the girls who was showing unmistakable signs of temper. "Her 'boy' promised to take her out to dinner tonight, and then didn't turn up." "How was that?" "According to what she said his favorite grandchild is very ill." Massage for Lumbago. Lumbage, according to Doctor Pometta, head of the medical department of the Swiss Accident Insurance institute, may be purely rheumatic, or result from strain to a muscle, or be produced by a chill when overheated. He says message is the best treatment, and that recovery should take place in from six to eight days at the outside. Locusts Used as Food. Locusts are eaten in many countries where they are roasted or fried in butter. They are also preserved in brine and often dried in the sun. They thus appear in the markets of Arabia, Syria, Egypt and Mahagascar, and are even exported as an article of commerce. They are also candied and eaten as a delicacy in China. Use for Luminous Paint Various kinds of luminous paints, covered with transparent varnish, are used for the purp of making watch hands visible at night. The chemicals that give this property of phosphorescence to the paint are chiefly the sulphides of strontium, barium and calcium. New Oil Substitute A factory has been started in Sweden for extracting oil from schist, thus adding one more to the number of substitutes already on the market. Large quantities of alum schist are found in the district, yielding benzine and crude oils. Not Much to Choose The honors are about even, whether your job wears out your shoes or your trousers. It sets you back about $15 for replacements in either event.—Kansas City Star. Napoleon's Faith in Diamond Napoleon had a large diamond set in the hilt of the sword he wore at his wedding with the famous Josephine, for he believed that the gem would bring him good fortune. Efficient Refrigeration Refrigeration cars for transporting meat with which an English railroad is experimenting are said to maintain as even a temperature as elaborate refrigeration plants on steamships. Kind-Hearted Farmers One day a little city girl came to the farm, and when she saw a windmill she said: "Oh, see how good the farmers are to the pigs; they have electric fans to keep them cool." All the Difference "A heap depends on location," said Uncle Eben. "What same folks calls a flower ain' nuffin' but a weed when it grows up in de wrong place." Buttonholes Collar Instead of buttonholes, a new collar for men has slots to slip over the buttons, those in front interlocking to hold the collar securely. Absolute Limit "A man ain't reached de full human capacity foh laziness," said Uncle Eben, "until he gits too lazy even to invent excuses foh it." Daily Thought. As turning the logs will make a dull fire burn, so changes of studies a dull brain.—Longfellow. Camouflage Would Save Ship. A submarine can spot a ship five miles away, estimate its course, submerge and later intercept it. But this ship might have a keel painted fifty feet down its side and the actual keel blocked out. This would give it the appearance of traveling in a course that was quite off the actual course. The calculations of the submarine would be quite wrong and the ship would not be intercepted at all. It would be saved by the deception of its camouflage. Swan Songs. According to Pliny ("Natural History,") "Swans, a little before their deaths, sing most sweetly;" and it is from this that the "swan-song" has acquired a figurative use—the last work of a poet or musician, composed shortly before his death. To the English people of Tennyson's declining days, "Crossing the Bar" was that poet's swan-song, even as the music of "Oberon" was the swan-song of Karl von Weber. Hail of the Mariners It is said that it is customary for every English Christian sailor to hall any companion English vessel with the words, "494, sir." Immediately the reply is received, "6 farther on." The meaning of the signal is, that in the sailor's hymnbook, 494 is Fanny, Crossby's hymn, "Blessed Assurance, Jesus Is Mine." and 6 farther on, or No. 500, is "God Be With You Till We Meet Again."—The Christian Herald. Rainy Day and Business Someone figured that a rainy day cost New York an unconscionable amount of money. Women, he explained, disbursed $5 per cent of the money earned by men. On rainy or dark days they remain indoors mostly. Store sales were curtailed, traffic reduced and nearly every class and character of business was affected adversely. Theaters, movie shows, ball games and general amusements suffered seriously. In a Quandary. A charming hostess, who was entertaining a party of children, discovered one little fellow sitting in a corner apparently lost in thought. "What are you thinking about. Harry?" "Mother told me not to take two oranges," piped the little man, "and I was thinking I would be mighty lucky if I got one." "Immunity Bath" In criminal trials, "immunity bath" means exemption from prosecution. The expression was first used several years ago, when several defendants in a trust case were discharged by the United States court on the ground that they had gained personal immunity by furnishing the evidence upon which the indictments were based. Just a Suggestion. Maybe this hint from the pen of Oscar Wilde will be found worth a moment's notice by the peace delegates: "As long as war is regarded as wicked it will always have its fascinations. When it is looked upon as vulgar it will cease to be popular."—Boston Transcript. Flea In Amber The history of the flea would seem to go back many centuries, but the only fossil remains of a flea that have so far been found is a single insect in a bit of Baltic amber. The flea is admirably preserved by its semi-transparent surroundings, and is in the collection of Professor Clebs. Oiling Machines Many women oil their own machines frequently and carefully, as they should, but they forget to put a big drop of oil once a month in each end of the treadle. The machine runs with one-third the expenditure of effort if this is regularly done. Courtesy That Pays. Compliments of congratulation are always kindly taken, and cost one nothing but pen, ink and paper. I consider them as draughts upon good breeding, where the exchange is always greatly in favor of the drawer.—Chesterfield. Glass Bricks Now in Use. A novel idea of building construction which has been introduced in some European cities is the use of glass bricks for certain parts of the outer walls. Be on Guard Always Shut the door and keep the padlock on against mean thoughts. One single night of lying on the ground brings the red of rust to the shinest plow-share that ever was made.—Exchange. Heel for Slippery Weather. A new shoe heel for use in slippery weather has a number of adjustable points which are pushed into position for use by a lever on the back of the heel. Nearing Age of Discretion. As a general thing a woman has to be about 80 years old before she realizes that no fancy waist is worth $18.—Galveston News. Daily Thought. Daily Thought. Gravity is the ballast of the soul which keeps the mind steady.—Fuller. Scenic View of Health. It a sound mind and rational habits do so much to keep the body sound, and if nature unaided can cure most of our curable life, life is a fater 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 spedced as well as he would have lived 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 love 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 today?" Then, with seeing 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 quipch 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 oftimes 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, says 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 cheerfully 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 flint 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! I know I is killed." Good Advice for Parents Children readily copy what they see and hear, and as a consequence they should not hear squabbles among adults, and should be given every chance to observe courtesy.—Exchange Daily Thought To preserve a friend, three things are necessary; to honor him present, praise him absent, and assist him in his necessities—Italian Saying Little Things Count A comma is a little thing, but so is a clinder in your eye.

As Near As Your Telephone DISTANCE IMMATERIAL IN a Metropolitan City of this size, death knocks every thirty minutes at some door. Too often that death not only brings sorrow, but misfortune as well.

By Dr. M. A. Majors. ‘The cause of Chicago's race riot, has become, a part of history and there is not need to repeat it and rei- terste it. Of course segregation had much to do with it, but people should stop 2 moment and find some réason for their actions. For thirty years the Colored peo- ple have been compelled to live in the saloon district of Chicago, the sporting district of Chicago, and to nccept the kind of white neighbors that lived among them and that grow ‘Wat and rich selling them food, and along State, Wabash, Dearborn and Federal streets. The gradual influx of Colored people has as a matter of course widened out thdjarea of their habitation until they now stretch from Princeton Ave. to the lake, and from Polk street on the North as for south, (&5 69th Street. Hyde Park has been, invaded here and there, and Engle wood in spots, Lake and Fulton sts. plea side, aebae sake laos north and south of Chicago Ave. If the reader will take dpwn a map of Chicago he will find that wherever the’ Colored people have moved in as # rule, that they are the rotten spots fj Chicago. There the saloon fiour- ishes, the questionable hotel, and the buffet fiat run by the underworld ele- ment of white people. Could you wish this state of affairs to forever con- tinue? And that the present day Ne- gro to be Satisfied to rear his dear little children in sue} polluted steuch? ‘Then after having had to meet obstacles in the matter of bettering his condition, such as bombs, neigh- borkood organizations, to burn him out, and public protests in the news- papers all to hedge him in these dread spots, foul with the plague of the seman ras, whee only Jey is ie i immoral. ‘What individual or ‘race ‘e/ there who would not strive for a better condition of housing, amy,| and face from the black mice of such social muck?

The Negro was called to war to fight to help save the world. ‘Uncomplainingly they marched to the ftont. With spade and shovel they dug trenches, with gun and bayonet they stood the awful test of war. They were disciplined, and in the face of every cunning trick of white JAmericans to sive them s bed repa- tation they won war crosses by tak- ing dangerous posts where galling shot ani shell rained upon-them as if hell itself had opened upon them. They were not dismayed. They fought forward, and would not know re- treat, and when the armistice was signed that Noy. 11th our brave boys of the old Eight had penetrated fur- ther into the German lines than blue- bellied Yankees had gone. In spite of it all, whén even the world held its breath, so charmed by the match- less déring of the black boys in arms fighting Uncle Sam's battle on foregin soil, here in America, the land of their birth, they are subject to hell- ish inhuman, indignities that must make the angels of heaven weep. What is it that the people are so up’ in arms against the Negroes for? Has not the white man for fifty yedrs marauded the colored men’s homes, stolen their wives, seduced their daughters, and lynched and purned their sons? ¥ Gan jit be that a democratic ad- ministration has brought all over the Southland a form of murdering hys- jeria?
