Lowden for President, will be held in Chicago on October 22. At this meeting plans for the campaign will be discussed and definite steps taken towards bringing the qualifications of the Illinois war governor to the attention of the voters of other states. The Executive Committee which will meet in Chicago on the 22nd, is composed of Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, Chairman of the Illinois Lowden Campaign Committee; Senators Lawrence Y. Sherman and Medill McCormick, vice-chairmen; Harold L. Ickes, secretary; David E. Shanahan, treasurer, and former Governors Joseph W. Fifer and Charles S.

The Illinois Lowden Campaign Committee was organized at a meeting held in Springfield on October 8, attended by all of the ective state officers, with the exception of Governor Lowden, who was not informed of the intention of the other officials. Secretary Emmerson, on motion of Lieutenant Governor Oglesby, seconded by Attorney General Brundage, was chosen chairman; Senators Sherman and McCormick, vice-chairmen; Mr. Ickes, secretary, and Speaker Shanahan, treasurer.

These men are convinced that Lowen's work in Illinois is known and appreciated in every section of the United States. They believe the country is pretty well convinced that he is the sort of man the nation needs at the head of the government at this time. And it is their purpose, first of all, to show Governor Lowen that he is wanted. This they will do through crystalization of the Lowden sentiment in other states and the creation of organizations to express this sentiment. So far as Illinois is concerned, the work of the Lowden campaign committee already is complete. Sentiment in this state is unanimous. Senators Sherman and McCormick and the entire Republican delegation in the lower house of congress are enlisted in the movement. All factions of the state organization are united back of it. There is no dissenting voice. It is seldom that a candidacy of this character carries with it so strong a home endorsement, such a measure of backing from political forces. It should be said, too, that the strength of Illinois sentiment for Lowden cannot be measured by the unanimity of men in his own political party. There are thousands of Democrats and men of other political persuasions who want an opportunity to vote for Lowden. These will be found doing what they can to induce the Republican paty to make him its candidate in order that they have this opportunity Lowden sentiment outside the Republican party is largely business sentiment—strongest among men who admire effectiveness and capability. It is found among mechanics who have pride in their skill, farmers who actually farm, professional men of attainment, merchants and manufacturers who have demonstrated their capabilities. The story of Lowden's career has attracted to him men of every political faith who have succeeded against great odds, and young men who are hoping and expecting to "make good." To the latter, his history is an inspiration. Success should attend the work entered upon by the committee organized Wednesday. Lowden sentiment national in its scope, exists. The reasoning on which it is based is substantial. No man whose name is mentioned in connection with the presidency will be more acceptable to labor. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1919.

One of the most popular trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, who would make a rip-roaring candidate for president of the Board of Trustees of that district in 1920. Mound Bayou, Miss., October 15, 1919—(Special to The Broad Ax).—Mr. Albert L. Webster, the only son of the late Albert L. and Mrs. Carrie L. Webster, of Mound Bayou, Miss., the only town owned and controlled exclusively by Negroes in America, has recently organized the "Webster Realty and Cotton Company," located at Mound Bayou, and of which he is the principal figure. Mr. Webster has for the past four years been intimately associated as private secretary with one of the best minds the Negro Race has ever produced, and whose equal in the commercial world is yet to be found among us, in person of the Hon. Chas. Banks of Mound Bayou. He graduated from the Mound Bayou Normal Institute in 1912, and from there he entered Tougall University, Tougaloo, Mississippi. Here he spent a most interesting career, being the leading figure in the Commercial Department of the 1914 class, having received a certificate of "ACCURACY" over the aspirants of his class and the class that was above him. He graduated from this University in 1915. Before going to Camp, Mr. Webster applied and took Civil Service examination as stenographer and typist, and passed with a credible average. Soon afterwards he enlisted in the U. S. Service and was sent to Camp Funston, Kansas, where he was placed immediately in the Headquarters of the 92nd Division, under the noted historian, Leut. T. Thompson, who un- Hon. Patrick J. Carr. most popular trustees of the Sanitary and make a rip-roaring candidate for of that district in 1920. hesitatingly styled him as one of the best commercial students in the entire 92nd. With his literary training coupled with his Army and inestimable experi- ence gotten while in the employ of Mr. Banks, should be a thorough assurance to Mr. Webster that his efforts will be crowned with success. THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRESS Washington, D. C.—The National Race Congress which has been in session here during the week closed last night, going on record advocating the unrestricted ballot in the hands of every American citizen, the protection of all under the law, and wiping out of Jim Crowism. There were present representative men and women from 21 states and much interest was manifested by them. All sessions were held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church, of which the Rev. M. W. D. Norman is pastor. The opening sermon was preached last Monday night by the Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., National Chaplain, and then followed the opening on Tuesday morning, presided over by Dr. W. M. Jernagin, D. D., the president. "America" was used to open the session, and the prayer was made by Dr. Cheek. Commissioner Louis Brownlow extended welcome to the delegates as did M. K. King and Architect J. A. Lankford. Bishop I. N. Ross, D. D., of the A. M. E. Church, made the opening remarks setting forth the work of the Congress, advocating the abolition of "Jim Crowism," the use of the bal- --- lot, proper treatment of the race, and setting forth the kind of leadership needed. He said that the race would not follow the hand-selected leader, but would take unto itself the right to select the leaders, and would cast aside those selected because they could be used as a rubber-stamp. He wanted real men, fearless men, men who would contend for the rights of the race on all occasions, and would not sell out. We deplored the recent race riots, and declared they were conducted by the lawless element, and that the law-abiding element of both races should get together, and that some action be taken by them toward minimizing such dangers in the future. The feature of the day was the annual address by Dr. W. N. Nernagin, of Washington, who touched every phase of the work done and to be brought before the people. He outlined a program for the future which would accomplish great good for the race if carried out. His recommendations were adopted, hence permanent headquarters will be established, and sections for racial development will be brought into life. In this there is to be a department of transportation, of commerce, of race adjustments, of franchise. Among the noted speakers during the session were: Dr. T. J. Goodall, of Savannah, Ga.; Bishop G. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C.; Bishop C. S. Smith, Detroit, Mich.; Dr. W. W. Lucas, Meridian, Miss.; Rev. P. James Bryant, Atlanta, Ga.; Mrs. Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. Y.; Prof. John Hawkins, Washington, D. C.; C. G. Woodson, Washington, D. C.; J. C. Austin, Pittsburgh, Pa.; J. S. Young, Ardmore, Okla.; Wil R. W. Hunter and Company, Bankers, Open the First State Bank North of the Mason and Dixon Line at Gary, Ind. More Than Twenty-five Thousand Dollars Was Chucked Into the Bank the First Day It Threw Its Doors Open for Business. President R. W. Hunter Has Become the Leading Colored Banker in the United States. Last Thursday and Friday R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, celebrated the opening of their new State Bank at Gary, Ind., and it is the first State bank owned, controlled and operated by Colored people north of the Mason and Dixon Line. This new bank holds a charter from the State of Indiana to transact a regular banking business at Gary, and it seems almost like a dream to think that such a huge task could be accomplished by Colored men, and it strongly indicates that the Colored people are rapidly moving forward in the banking and commercial world. Many of the white bankers of Gary did not want to see a Colored bank established in that city, for they were fearful that all of the Colored people would withdraw their money and place it in the bank conducted by wideawake Colored men, and they fought against the opening of the new Colored bank with all the force and secret power at their command, but -to no avail. It remained for Attorney J. P. Harden, general manager of the R. W. Hunter Banking Institutions, to ably lead the legal fight all along the line, and he easily trampled down all of the bitter opposition to the opening of the new Colored bank—and successfully secured the charter for it. The valuable record of Dr. James H. Garnett as member of a delegation sent to Indianapolis before the charter board and composed of Attorneys J. P. liam H. Harrison, Chieago, Ill.; E. K. Jones, New York; Salindra Nath Ghose, of Indin; W. T. Andrews, Baltimore, Md.; Edward L. Snyder, Philadelphia, Pa.; John Mitchell, Jr., Richmond, Va.; Mrs. Mary Church-Terrell; Judge Robert Terrell, Washington, D. C.; Miss Nannie M. Burroughs, President National Training School, and many others. The following officers were elected: Dr. W. N. Jernagin, president; Bishop I. N. Ross, vice-president; Rev. C. H. Stepteau, secretary; Rev. J. H. Randolph, assistant secretary; Rev. W. H. Dean, treasurer; Prof. John R. Hawkins, executive secretary; Rev. E. A. P. Cheek, chaplain; Rev. J. C. Austin, organizer; William H. Harrison, lecturer; Rev. J. Milton Waldron, secretary Haitian Committee; Rev. J. D. Bushall, musical director; H. J. Callis, chairman executive committee. A strong address was sent to the country. A memorial was sent to Congress which was a strong document. HIGH MASONS ELECT NEW OFFI CERS Grand Lodge of Free and Accepted Masons had a great year, at the close of its 53rd annual convention that adjourned to meet in Chicago, 1920, October 10. Election of officers as follows: T. J. Samuelis, W. M. G. Master of Chicago; W W Roger, Dept. G. Master East St. Louis; Rt. W. G. Sr. Warden, T. L. Lane, Chicago; Rt. W. Jr. Warden, Geo. E. Maxfield, Chicago; Grand Treasurer, W B. Beatty, Cairo; Grand Secretary, James C. Adams, Springfield, Ill.; Rt. W. Grand Lecturer, W. A. Davis, Chicago, of the Recorder's Office. Harden and J. Arthur Davis, Dr. S. R. Blackwell and J. E. Crisp, will always be remembered. For 30 minutes he held the spellbound by his eloquence in defense of a charter. The governor and secretary, if they had any doubts, were convinced as to the claim of the bank organization to do business. The men connected with the bank are the best and most progressive Colored men in that enterprises city, and they are as follows: Directors—R. W. Hunter, chairman; R. S. Blackwell, Dr. M. V. Marshal James H. Garnett, Attorney J. P. Harden, J. E. Crisp, J. Russell, R. D. Guy, Officers—Dr. S. R. Blackwell, president; Dr. M. V. Marshal, vice-president; Mr. J. E. Crisp, general manager and trust officer; Dr. James H. Garnett, cashier. Employees—Mr. Van McCoughtry bookkeeper; Miss Susie Pearmon, paying teller; Miss Beulah Strickland, receiving teller; Mr. Thomas Gray, real estate broker, and J. Arthur Davis, attorney for the bank. As stated before, twenty-five thousand dollars was dumped into the new bank the very first day it threw its doors open to the public and many of those who deposited their money in the bank belonged to the opposite race, which was nothing strange, for many white people in this city transit their banking business with the R. W. Hunter Banking Institutions. BOOSEVBLT MEMORIAL ASSO CIATION. 1 Madison Avenue, New York City. New York.—Leading Southerners, including United States Senators, have joined in an organized movement to make the birthplace of Theodore Roosevelt's mother; the famous old Bullock homestead at Roswell, Ga., a permanent Roosevelt memorial. Both the Georgia Senators, Hoke Smith and William J. Harris, as well as former Senator Thomas W. Hardwick, all of whom were active political opponents of the late President, are leaders in the movement. The Bulloch committee is composed of one member from each Southern State and is headed by Dr. Floyd W. McRae, of Atlanta. It has the co-operation of G. W. McClure, a Roosevelt Progressive, who is State Chairman in Georgia for the Roosevelt Memorial Association, and of E. Y. Clarke director of the Georgia campaign of the Association. The birthplace of Martha Bulloch, a Southern genetically woman famous for her beauty and charm, who supported the Southern cause in the sixties, although the wife of a Northerner and living in New York, is a venerable mansion of the Southern colonial type in a typical Georgia plantation setting at Roswell, near Atlanta. The old mansion was often visited by Roosevelt. Roosevelt was always popular in Georgia. His devotion to his Southern mother had much to do with this sentiment toward him, but his principles of Americanism made him many admirers among those who did not belong to his party.

The South is in the throes of despair. The old-time Negro is in his honored grave and peace to his ashes. The custom of intimidation and tyranny practiced for many years reveal to the sober-minded that it, too, is rapidly passing. The Negro of the modern era, who dressed in his country's uniform and marched to war to beat of drum, and stepping to martial music, bearing bravely the color ensigna of a nation's glory, and who bared his breast to the lerrors of schrapnel in dugouts, trenches, and across No Man's Land, are baptized snow, and become a power to reckon with. War in France is no less tragic, but no different when he must fight without the uniform and the colors and without the sounding brass and the flare of trumpets for the rights of man on his native heath. The ugly force of might in absolute disregard of wrongs heaped upon him and his fellows impels the noble spirit so long repressed to rise in horrifying indignation to meet and match his tyrannical foe with instruments of death in self-defense and to make secure the safety of his life and home. The gauge of battle is being met with death dealing for death dealing. The spirit of infamy and race hate has long been tolerated as an evil consequence of a condition fraught by the fearful tragedies of a former period of the nation's history when everything for Negroes spelled chaos. But the insolicious days of Southern daredevilry have fabricated whirlwinds of destruction from the very winds in which so ruthlessly were sown the seeds of corruption and discord. The fear that once made our forefathers tremble and run away from, is not to be seen in this glad hour of a race's progress. The New Negro is upon the scene, and be, by his bravery and self-confidence is causing the world to sit up and take notice. He does not scamper and hide when bewihiskered red necks mar his peace and dignity. The world views with secret alarm the bull dog tenacity with which the Negro stands his ground and fights back his traducer. The day is rapidly approaching when through the earnest spirit so manifest in every part of the country by the Colored people to practice the principles of self-preservation, unity of race and to practice the arts of death where peace has failed, the Negro will be given his well won and fought for place in the grand circle of the human races. The ugly might of Southern criminal aggression will are long be sinned by the National Government. It will and must come. The Negroes will leave the South, the South will need to eat. The hands will leave, and the stomachs will be left unfilled. The South, illogical, unreasonable, and tyrannical, will have to be saved from itself. The violation of law has ever been the horrible orgy of the Southern States. Shooting down Negroes had become a festivity, and red neck murderers basqued in official power to oppress the struggling, helpless people for whose freedom the Nation waded in seas of human blood. There was no pity, and conscience had no love or care. Goaded and pressed against the wall stood for decades the helpless, cringing, unfortunate Negro of an infamous dark era of the Nation's life. They shot us, hung us, burned us, seduced our fair girls, stole our wives, disheated the only name we have had. M. Dr. Ulysses Grant Dailey. One of the most brilliant and progressive doctors in the middle west, who has resumed the active practice of his chosen profession at his same old stand. 5 East Thirty-sixth Place. Dr. U, Grant Dailey, Chiengo's brilliant young surgeon, after spending four or five weeks' vacation in Northern Michigan, where he devoted much of his time to fishing, has returned home and resumed the active practice of his chosen profession in his same well-appointed offices in the Jesse Binga Bank Building, No. 5, E. 36th Place. Dr. Dailey, who is looking the very picture of health, has the honor and the great distinction of attending clinics at the great medical colleges of London, England; Paris, France, and Berlin, and in the future he will confine his work to surgery and consultation, for unquestionably he is well equipped for that branch, or, in fact, for all branches of his chosen profession. In the past, he has successfully burned our homes, killed our aged grudmothers, shot to death the old men, and yet the Negro prayed for the God of deliverance to soften the dread asperities of a merciless condition. But God moves in a mysterious way. Truth is stalwart; it does not die. He turned the other cheek. They smote him until it became a favorite pastime of the hell bent trickster. It seemed that God had forsaken us. It was an awful day. Writ with punishment was the scroll. We cried aloud to an avenging God to strike terror in the camp of our maudrauds. He planted His footsteps on the sea and four hundred thousands of us answered to. the cries and pleadings of a nation across the deep. He rides upon the storm today. In and through it all God is at work wringing us through the erucible of strife to season our blood and preparing us for the hour when we must strike the blow of our racial salvation and deliverance. The moral is instructive. The les sons learned from our sad school of adversity and oppression will enrich the blood of gallant boys, who deem it an honor to die for their race in a like proportion to die for their country. Large Massmeeting in the Interest of the George L. Giles Post of the American Legion Held at the Wendell Phillips High School. Last Sunday afternoon a large mass-meeting was held at the Wendell Phillips High School in the interest of the George L. Giles Post, who lost his life on the battlefields of France, of the American Legion and just before the close of the meeting many ex-service men joined the post. The following was the program of the meeting: Overture, Composite Military Band; Opening remarks, Mr. Earl B. Dickerson, Chairman, George L. Giles Post; singing, Battle Hymn of the Republic; introductory remarks, Dr. George C. Hall; vocal solo, Mr. Lawrence Lomax; vocal solo, Miss Lella Lary; address, Capt. Archibald Roosevelt, Major John D. Cummings, Capt. Francis, Hon. A. H. Roberts, Col. Robert S. Abbott, R. E. Moore and Julius F. Taylor, were among the other speakers. Capt. Roosevelt who is plain, simple and very democratic in his manner brought down the house when he declared that "the colored race was at a great loss for true or bold leaders since the deaths of the late Booker T. Washington and his father Col. Theodore Roosevelt." It is almost useless to state that Capt. Roosevelt who was wounded on served as one of the instructors of anatomy at the Northwestern University. He has also served as associate professor of surgery at the Chicago Hospital College of Medicine. He is surgeon of Provident Hospital. He has been for years an eminent medical lecturer, teacher and surgical specialist at Tuskegee Institute, Ala., and Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn. For two years Dr. Dailey was President of the National Medical Association, and he amply proved himself to be one of its best and most energetic chief executives that has so far served in that capacity. He has also been actively interested in the Medical Society in this city, and in every other movement for the advancement of the Colored race. the battlefields of France, who from this time on will make his home in this city, has already wended his way into the hearts of the colored people of Chicago. Dr. Hall made some home runs when he exclaimed that what the colored people wanted was not equal accommodations on railroads and so on, but the same accommodations and the same civil and political rights in Mississippi and Alabama as they enjoy in Illinois and Ohio, his talk was full of fire and red hot pepper and they caught the large crowd of people present.

THE PRESIDENTIAL SITUATION. Hon. Frank O. Lowden—The Man. 1920—The Time. New—The Hon. -By Beauregard F. Moseley All American and the world is looking forward to 1920! Never, since the Civil War, has there been greater need for anxiety. The ethotic condition of the world, reconstruction and readjustment of its affairs, are largely dependent at this time upon what America will do. This fact is borne out by present conditions, wherein the League of Nations, affecting all the world for better or for worse, is waiting for its life or its death upon this, our country. Some say it is a good thing for the world. Others say it is a high sounding phrase to enshave the minority and make subject states of all except England; stripped of its verbiage it means surrender of national sovereignty to world sovereignty—the surrender of the people to a power not of their making—a thing foreign to every definition of a Republican form of government—a world subjugation to a hydra headed monarchy, with England holding the scepter. This being so fundamentally against the ideals and policy of this egynony, it has created a national debate, bordering upon a national crisis, wherein politics has been observed and party lines ignored and friends and foes have met and agreed to fight friends and foes alike, according to their attitude either for or against the League. This has created a strange situation—one that is likely to lead to further complication, for if Democrats and Republicans alike agree or disagree upon the League, the cause of its position upon us, disturbing the peace of the country, its costs, its interference with the business of the country and the unrest now besieging labor, will all be lost* and the people so bewildered that the cause may not be removed; for be it remembered, nothing has brought about the League and our present troubles but the mistakes of 1912 and 1916, wherein fine, lofty, double-barreled altruistic phrases led the people out of the well beaten path of a Republican form of government into the wilderness of Democritic sophistry and theories, and while thus bewildered, they twice elected the chief theorist on earth to the Presidency of America. This brought us the League and our present day difficulties. In order to get rid of them, we must return from whence we came—back to the party that gave us Linecoln, Logan and Grant—back to Illinois, where these giants came from, and make another selection of one to lead the nation as they once led it back to a government for the people, of the people and by the people—free from entanglements and alliances with European crown heads. This can be done and will be done if those elected as delegates to the next National Republican Convention will but free themselves from all motives save to serve their country and fellowmen. They will perhaps be unable to agree upon either Senator Borah, Cum- 1910 P. H. Dr. George C. Hall. One of the shining lights of Provident South Side Department of the Y. M. C.

However, there is no need of turning down all of these men except one of them, when Illinois now offers just as she offered in the '60's, another son in the person of Governor Frank O. Lowden, who is free from any of the animosities borne of present hour struggles, who is 'loyal, patient and patriotic to the core, and who has given Illinois what the nation needs and most have—a budget system, and who has shown by the appointment of a non-political commission to study and present a plan of race adjustment, that he is the man, and now the hour for all lovers of the good old Americanism of yore, to get behind him and nominate him as the standard bearer of the Republican party in 1920, to the salvation of man and the glory of God. Europe Lays Its Plans and Won't Wait on America. Washington, D. C.—While no official declaration can be made in advance of the action of the Senate on the treaty of Versailles, it was learned unofficially that plans were being laid for bringing the League of Nations into existence almost immediately upon the publication in Paris of the ratification of the treaty by Great Britain, France Italy and Germany, which will put it into force. Although the United States cannot participate in the initial stages of the League's work, it is understood that the decision has been reached to have President Wilson issue a call for the first meeting of the Council of the League within the fifteen day period provided in the treaty for the appointment by the Council of three members of the Commission which is to determine the boundary of the Saar basin. Must Form Commissions. No less than fifteen commissions created by the peace treaty appear to require American participation and certain plebiscites confirming title to various disputed territories also are to be conducted under a joint international control. Plans for the inauguration of the League were discussed by Col. E. M. House in England and he is understood to have pursued the work as far as he felt warranted in advance of the action of the Senate on the treaty. If Col. House's health permits, he is expected in Washington next week and it will then be in order to frame the call for the first meeting of the council of the League. Senate Action Is Awaited Demote Action is Awaited. In the view of offenders here this first meeting of the Council must arrange for the appointment of the various commissions and the plebiscite described in the treaty, but aside from that its proceedings are expected to be rather limited. Later on, if this initial stage is safely passed, and, the Senate shall have consented to the ratification of the treaty, the President will issue a call for the first meeting of the assembly of the League, which will be in Washington some time early next year. May Wind Up Peace Work. May Wind Up Peace Work. Under pressure from Washington and with the approval of the American delegation in Paris, the participation of this Government in the proceedings of the Peace Conference in Paris is rapidly nearing an end. Unless there are some untoward developments officials here believe it will be possible for the delegation to wind up its work within a month. THE WORLD'S FIRST WOMEN'S FILM MAKER Mrs. Carrie Warner.

Gibbs, who, among other things, said: "Sangamon County is going to back Brundage for Governor and Lowden for President." Mr. Gibbs is a member of the Executive Committee of the Colored Republican League of Illinois. He is also an attorney of some prominence and has the confidence of the people of Springfield more than most men of his race, and many be in this instance a prophet. Last week Mr. J. Anthony Josey, editor of the Wisconsin Blade, was a welcome guest at the Idlewild. He said: "I am very much of the opinion that Illinois has a call and that Governor Frank O. Lowden will have to be reckoned wit that the next National Convention." Mr. W. L. Houston, of Washington, D.

Chester, Pa.—One man was shot and killed and four other men and a woman were seriously wounded by a Negro who had been ejected from a saboon for disorderly conduct. The victims are all white. After the shooting large crowds gathered in the streets and open threats of violence were heard. Fearing a race riot, Mayor McDowell closed all saloons and called on the sheriff for assistance. A large number of deputy sheriffs were sworn in and they aided the police in patrolling the streets, which at a late hour were crowded with groups of whites and blacks in angry mood. William Neely, aged 27, who did the shooting, was rushed to Media in an automobile and placed in jail. An armed guard was stationed around the building. In July, 1917, a score of persons were killed and injured here in race riots that lasted several days.

By placing the subject near a sunny window, but not in the direct sunlight, and with a sheet fixed at one side, high enough so that it reaches above the subject's head, good results may be obtained. If the child sits on the floor, the sheet will be high enough thrown over two chairs. Life Not Merely Lapse of Years. The mere lapse of years is not life. To eat and drink and sleep: to be exposed to the darkness and the light; to pass round in the mill of habit; and turn the wheel of wealth; to make reason our bookkeeper and turn thought into an implement of trade—this is not life. In all this, but a poor fraction of the consciousness of humanity is awakened; and the sanctities still slumber which make it most worth while to be.—James Martineau.

FASHIONS IN FURS FOR FALL-WINTER FASHIONS IN FURS FOR FALL-WINTER Peltry of Every Conceivable Variety Is to Be Much in Evidence. STRIPE IS VERY DESIRABLE Borders'and Bands of Rich Color in Contrasting Arrangements Are Used—New Shades for A poor excuse is better than none, and so mildly will comfort her conscience as she digs deep in her pocketbook and purchases one of the fur wraps of the new season with the fact that a cloth suit or coat would cost in some cases almost as much, writes a prominent fashion correspondent. In truth furs are proportionately about as expensive and the only reason that there is anything within reach is that every conceivable fur is in fashion. Paris has been astonishingly catholic in this respect of late and under the exigency of the times admitted to the list of possible furs such lesser pelts as Mongolian goat, rabbit, coney, Hampshire Normal & Bernard Taupe divet de laine suit trimmed with embroidery of the same color and taupe raccoon. Hat is of clipped beaver; pheasant tail decoration hangs down. Manchurian dog and even ordinary house rat. As the scarcity of furs continued through last winter old furs were dragged out of the moth ball closet and worn until there was not a fur left that might not be seen on the streets of Paris. Fortunately this brought every fur into play, for just imagine the prices if only two or three furs had happened to be in fashion, as in some seasons past. This is not to say that there are not favorite furs this year, too, but because some of the less expensive furs are in better standing than usual is not an indication that sable,ermine or any of the furs that are always high in price are out of it. Indeed, it is not so much a question of the kind of fur as the manner in which it is made up and the color. Gray furs, squirrel and chinchilla are a shade more in demand than those in other tones. Tails as a Decoration. Again, it may be merely a matter of tails, and the wrap or fur piece that can count the most tails is easily the winner. Probably the rage for tails is traceable to the rage for fringe and any and everything that dangles with every motion of the wearer. Seldom are the tails placed anywhere near the spot nature intended them to be. Placed close enough to form a semblance of fringe is the approved method, but as this is decidedly expensive the close formation in short spaces is sometimes seen. The dolman, more in evidence here than abroad, is very apt to show a long fringe of tails that runs from the wrist straight down under the arms to the bottom of the hem, otherwise it may run down the sides and around the back or around the bottom without any at the sleeves. It is used seen in two ways about the bottom, either placed at the top of the hem falling on top of the fur or about the lower edge and hanging free. An ermine evening wrap by an American house has a tail fringe all above the hem, the little dark tails placed very close and showing up well against the white fur. The sleeves of this wrap are wide and floppy, being supplied with a separate elongated flap like a cape, and the collar, very strangely, is of silver fox. Stripes Are in Evidence. Stripes, so very well liked in frocks and suits, find reflection in the fur in the arrangement of the markings so any fur that has by nature a dark stripe is very desirable for the large wraps that are so frequent. For this purpose chinchilla and mink are immensely popular and the things that the designers do with the pelts are extraordinary. Where the coat or wrap is ordinarily trimmed with a collar or cuffs of contrasting fur, borders and bands of the same fur with the stripes of rich color in contrasting arrangement are used instead. On a wrap of mink for evening or afternoon wear the stripes run up and down for the major portion, but a wide band of the fur with the stripes running in the opposite direction is mitred in the front corners and crosses the back at the bottom. The collar on this wrap, which is typically French, is very large and falls over the shoulders and half way down the arms bordered with a horizontal band of mink, bringing the line straight across the figure. The Parisian with her short skirts wears these all enveloping wraps exceedingly well. Exactly the length of the skirt underneath, the wrap still escapes being cumbersome, particularly as the cut is most apt to be straight and the sleeves rudimentary. Either slits in a cape or very short sleeves in the couts are seen. Neither American makers nor buyers abroad favor the short sleeves in furs, so the coattees and coats on this side are all offered with regulation sleeves. Large Collars and Cuffs. Large collars and cuffs of the longer haired pelts are a feature of many fall suits. Skunk, fox and pointed fox are used and the collars are cut high, giving a luxurious air to the suit. When the use of bands and large pockets is noted it is usually in close fur, as seal, squirrel or beaver. A suit of French blue velours is fashioned with flaring lines from the waist and a vest and high rolling chin collar of squirrel fur. The fur is arranged so that the stripes run horizontally across the front of the vest. The simple tailored suit without a belt and trimmed with large collar and cuffs of fur is sure to be one of the smartest features of the fall openings. Pervenche is one of the new shades that have been captured for the fall. It is named for the little French flower by that name, which we see once in a while in an old garden in this country under the name of myrtle. It is a shade of lavender which just escapes coming under the head of blue. Many Browns and Tans Duvetyn is not considered as smart as velvet for the fall or winter hat. Also one will note when scanning the collection, in the best shops that there are almost no dark blue hats, but quantities of all shades of browns and tuns, while feathers are greatly in the majority as trimming. Velvet shirred and plaited very closely and very cleverly handled is sufficient to distinguish some of the very high-priced models. Two new sport hats of special interest are masterpieces in handwork and © Western Newspaper Union Striking and beautiful combination of moleskin and squirrel is this extremely modish winter creation. The hat is of gray velvet with rose brocaded silk. in very different ways. All the vivid colors are used in floss in a turban-shaped affair, and that each shade lose none of its value it is embroidered in a more or less irregular fan shape all by itself and not intertwined with any other color. This hat is also suitable for wear with a strictly tailor-made suit. The standing collar is stolen from the military uniform. THAT NEW SUIT FOR WINTER Advantages and Disadvantages in Having It Ready-Made or Made to Order. There are possible advantages in going to a tailor and having your suit made to order and just as many possible advantages in buying it ready made. With the ready-made suit there is always this: You can see the finished garment. There is never the possibility that you won't like it after it is finished, for it is finished to begin with. Moreover, if you are a person whose time is precious, the ready-made suit has advantages in that way. Even if it needs rather elaborate alterations you will need far less fitting than if you are having it made entirely to order. And of course, the ready-made suit, if you buy a good one from a smart shop, has probably been made according to the design of a very skilled and highly paid person, whereas your tailor may or may not have the eye of a real designer and he may or may not follow skillfully the lines of the design you select for him. However, if you are blessed with a good figure the tailor will reveal the fact as the ready-made suit cannot possibly do, even if it altered, for it is necessary to make ready-mades according to designs that do not as a rule play up the figure. They must be built for the average figure and built according to lines that require the least possible fitting. If you do go to the tailor beat this in mind: That for this winter suits made of heavy men's suit fabrics are going to be extremely smart. Select such a fabric that shows a decided stripe—one that would probably not be the one you would choose for your husband or son, because the stripes should be quite far apart and quite noticeable. A suiting of dark slate gray with a lighter gray stripe is a splendid selection. Now have the bodice pieces of the pattern cut lengthwise of the stripe with a tunic on the jacket cut the other way of the material. Or in such such way as this make use of the striping to give the suit its only trimming. TO MAKE NEWSPAPER HOLDER Remnant of Narrow Stair Carpet May Be Easily Made Into Decorative Article. The sketch shows a good use to which a remnant of narrow stair-carpet may be put, in the way of making a newspaper holder with it for hanging upon the wall. If possible, the carpet should be selected of a color to match or harmonize with the wallpaper upon which it is to hang. The edges where the carpet has been cut are bound with colored braid. An Easily-Made Newspaper Holder, and at each corner a ring is sewn on in the manner shown in sketch B. Then nails are driven into the wall at a distance apart corresponding with the width of the carpet, and they should slant slightly upwards in the way illustrated in diagram A. The rings are placed upon the nails so that the carpet hangs downwards and forms a large loop, into which the papers may be slipped from either side. All tidy housewives like a place to keep papers in, so that they do not litter the room, and this is just the thing needed, as it is strong and practical. DRESSES NOW MADE OF KID Whole Sport Outfits Made of the Material and Some Have Leather Ornamentation. The increasing use of kid and other soft leather for the making and trimming of women's garments is bringing up the question here as to what effect it will have on other lines. Latest fashion reports, from Deauville say that whole sport dresses made of colored kid were worn at the recent races there, and the Paris cables tell of leather dewdabs on many of the new frocks, says the New York Times. In view of the reported general scarcity of kid, which there is no reason to doubt, the question has arisen as to just what effect this vogue will have on the supply available for the glove and shoe trades. It is also asked if the use of colored outer garments of kid will bring about a revival of the vari-colored kid shoes that were so much in vogue here a few years ago, and also serve to increase the color ranges of kid glove offerings in the near future. Coats for Fall. Some Parts-designed models of fall and winter coats for 1919 and 1920 are in the showrooms of American manufacturers and tailors. The indications are that plaids will be very much featured. Double-faced fabrics, plain on one side and plaid on the other, like golf clothes of several seasons ago, are used to develop some very modish coats. With whom do you do your Banking? Colored American Citizens, there is a great difference between doing your banking business with a bank that employees young Colored American Citizens as Clerks, Tellers, Cashiers and Investors, and one that does not. Do you know that there is some prejudice shown by white banks and bankers in Chicago that employ every other nationality in their banks but Colored American Citizens? We have young Colored men and women who have graduated from some of the best schools and colleges in this country, and are as efficient as any other nationality? R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, employ sixty-two of the most efficient employees of any bank in the world. We do general banking the same as any other bank in America, and have Savings Accounts and Checking Accounts. Checks drawn on our banks are honored all over the United States and our drafts are honored in all parts of Europe. Every Colored American Citizen in the United States should be a booster for such a business enterprise as the R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, Chicago. THE RIOT HAS TAUGHT THE RACE A LESSON Never before in the history of the Race has an incident displayed our business faults as did the recent riot in Chicago. Ninety per cent of the business houses in the Black Belt are owned by white people, and when they closed their doors the entire Colored population was nearly on the verge of hunger and had these conditions prevailed just one week longer, some of our people would have suffered from starvation, regardless of whether they had funds to purchase food or not. The most of our people had their money in white banks in the Loop District and other sections of the city, where our people could not get to the money. Let us get wise in this country like the white races and bank our money with our Colored banks and do business with one another, the same as the white races do. Let us boost our own business enterprises. R. W. Hunter & Co., Bankers, have handled over three million dollars of the people's money without a complaint or a lawsuit from a single depositor or investor. R. W.

THE "Jumbo" gas burner shown here at the right, (actual size) is a robber on any gas lighting fixture in Chicago. If you have one, get rid of it! It makes high gas bills and causes a great many of the complaints that come to us. Claims that a "Jumbo" will give more light without using more gas are false.

Other countries, including the United States, have adopted the Zouave system since. In the Civil war, and the Italian assault upon Rome in 1870, they were conspicuous, in the latter case defending the papal supremacy. In the Days of Beaver Hats In the Days of Beaver Hats. In the olden days in the United States soon after the Revolutionary war, a good beaver hat became a kind of family heirloom, and was handed down from father to son. For some strange reason it was considered to be rather frivolous and extravagant to be seen wearing a new beaver hat, and it was the custom when a man bought one to leave it out in stormy weather before wearing it, to "take the newness off." The Planet Carnegie Mr. Carnegie shared an almost unique honor with the Empress Eugenie in having a planet named after him during his lifetime.

Experiments have shown that bees distinguish different colors, but different colors acquire significance for bees when the insects have learned that certain colors are associated with certain nutritive advantages. The bees are not "reflex-machines"—they are not compelled by any organic chromatoptoism to prefer certain colors to others. They accumulate experience and remember that certain colors are associated with certain nutritive benefits. Uncle Eben Sava "Chillun must be a heap smarter dan dey once make.

The banana is a perennial herbaceous plant, growing from year to year from an underground root stock with a stem or stalk from 10 to 15 feet high above the ground.

After fruiting, the stalk is cut down to the surface of the ground and grows up again from the root.

Our Different Worlds I once stood in a dome with different colored glass in each window. Thus four men touching each other might each see a different scene; a red ocean, a green city, blue fields, and yellow mountains.

Colored American Citizens, there is a great difference between doing your banking business with a bank that employees young Colored American Citizens as Clerks, Tellers, Cashiers and Investors, and one that does not. Do you know that there is some prejudice shown by white banks and bankers in Chicago that employ every other nationality in their banks but Colored American Citizens? We have young Colored men and women who have graduated from some of the best schools and colleges in this country, and are as efficient as any other nationality? R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, employ sixty-two of the most efficient employees of any bank in the world. We do general banking the same as any other bank in America, and have Savings Accounts and Checking Accounts. Checks drawn on our banks are honored all over the United States and our drafts are honored in all parts of Europe. Every Colored American Citizen in the United States should be a booster for such a business enterprise as the R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers, Chicago. THE RIOT HAS TAUGHT THE RACE A LESSON Never before in the history of the Race has an incident displayed our business faults as did the recent riot in Chicago. Ninety per cent of the business houses in the Black Belt are owned by white people, and when they closed their doors the entire Colored population was nearly on the verge of hunger and had these conditions prevailed just one week longer, some of our people would have suffered from starvation, regardless of whether they had funds to purchase food or not. The most of our people had their money in white banks in the Loop District and other sections of the city, where our people could not get to the money. Let us get wise in this country like the white races and bank our money with our Colored banks and do business with one another, the same as the white races do. Let us boost our own business enterprises. R. W. Hunter & Co., Bankers, have handled over three million dollars of the people's money without a complaint or a lawsuit from a single depositor or investor. R. W. Hunter & Co., Bankers, have leases on property in Chicago that are worth over two million dollars, located in some of the best sections of Chicago, and these leases are netting the firm good profits.
