Tuesday elections were held in many of the states throughout the country, and the Republican Party seems to be coming back into power again, for Massachusetts and Kentucky went strongly Republican, and the leaders of that party feel that in 1920 that the people will vote that party back into power throughout the nation, and that after eight years a Republican President will occupy the White House at Washington, D.C.
Here in Illinois and in this city the common people seem to be on top, and I. and R. won out with a large majority at its back.
The following are the delegates to the Constitutional Convention from this city and county:
First District—Levy Mayer, Dem.; Walter H. Wilson, Rep.
Second District—Michael F. Sullivan, Dem.; John J. Gorman, Rep.
Third District—Edward H. Morris, Rep.; A. J. Carey, Rep.
South District—John E. Traeger, Dem.; George P. Latchford, Dem.
Fifth District—Col. Abel Davis, Rep.; Morton D. Hull, Rep.
Sixth District—Rufus C. Dawes, Rep.; George A. Dupuy, Rep.

The rumored combination to send Ex-Governor Chas. S. Deneen to the Senate, and Congressman Smith to the Governorial chair to succeed Governor Lowden, insures the latter of a complete victory in securing a solid delegation from Illinois in 1920 to the National Convention. Without attempting to say all that could be said in praise of Ex-Governor Chas. S. Deneen and Congressman Smith, or to belittle in any sense the splendid men that may oppose them, one must take into consideration the fact that these men would not tie up with someone who had no chances for success in the National Convention, or who were weak as candidates at home. Congressman McKinley will no doubt command a strong following among the Republicans of the State who believe that the equities of the situation demands that one of the senators from Illinois come from outside of Chicago. This has heretofore been the rule, and it will not likely be changed, although

if it is to be changed, no better man than Ex-Governor Deneen could be chosen. While we cannot say much about Col. Frank L. Smith's superiority over Fred Sterling or Attorney-General Brundage or Governatorial honors, yet all must admit that he took hold of the Republican helm in 1918 and redeemed by his matchless management, the state completely from the Demoerats and showed a capability of being as good a vote getter as the present State Treasurer, Fred Sterling, who is conceded by all to be the best in the business, while Attorney-General Brundage has demonstrated a capacity to work at executive detail that removes all doubt concerning his ability to serve as Chief Executive of the state.
No doubt time will tell and will have much to do with the candidates that will get the nomination from the list mentioned, but little, if any mistake can be made. All seem capable and worthy and will no doubt command a good support from the Negro voters of the state, for, with Governor Lowden as the Presiden-

Jackson, Miss.—Hon.

Speaking before an intelligent audience of school teachers, representing several near-by counties, who had assembled for the purpose of hearing the address, Mr. Williams is quoted as having said in his message:
"The Southern white man is not your friend; that the so-called love of the South for you is nothing but high-handed hypocrisy. The Gulf states of the South have for a long time fed upon your labor and did not give you a fair return. I have studied the sit-

Mrs. Julius F. Taylor Continues to Rapidly Improve from Pneumonia; She Was Snatched from the Jaws of Death by Dr. Walter N. Thomas, Who Is One of the Best and Most Progressive Doctors in This City.
Wednesday morning, October 15th, at about 8 o'clock, we called our good wife, Mrs. Taylor—the dutiful and faithful wife of our youth and informed her that it was time to get up and prepare us some breakfast. She feebly informed us that she spent a wretched night and that she felt ever so miserable—that cold chills had been running up and down her body, for several weeks. Prior to that time she had been taking medicine for a severe cold and only a few days before that time a doctor had examined her and claimed that she would soon be free of her cold, so we continued to pour his medicine into her from Wednesday morning until Sunday morning, October 19th, all the time she seemed to be growing worse and much weaker instead of better.
Then we put our foot right down and called the doctor on the phone, who had been attending her and firmly informed him that we did not need his services any longer—that if we wowed him anything that all that he had to do was to forward his bill and that he would receive his money by return mail. Then and there we called up Dr. Walter X. Thomas, who is one of our warm friends and it was almost six o'clock that same Sunday evening before he drove up in front of our humble little house and after he had examined Mrs. Taylor, he informed us that she had the pneumonia of the right lung, that she had a fever which at that very moment registered one hundred and three that it had been raging within her for the past three or four days, that nine chances were against her to one in her favor.
That information almost caused us to stagger and fall, but in a few moments we braced up and rushed to the drug store for some new medicine which seemed to be strong and very powerful and when it was ready we started on a dead run home with it. It was then about 8 o'clock and our next door neighbor, Mrs. E Moreau had already assisted us to make Mrs. Taylor more comfortable in bed. Then we informed her that she had better retire to her home and that if we needed her during the night we would tap on the window and from 8 o'clock Sunday evening we sat silent and alone by her bedside until monday morning, without closing our eyes for one minute, giving her her medicine right on the dot.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY NEWS
NOTES.
Washington, District of Columbia.—The Reconstruction and Re-adjustment Congress to be held at Howard University. Washington, D.C., Thursday, November 13, 1919, the day following the Inauguration of Dr. J Stanley Durkee as President of the University, promises to be an affair of considerable importance. Representatives from all parts of the country will be present at the inauguration and are to take part in the discussions of the Congress.
The program as formulated calls for a discussion of national and international problems—(11 Health; (2) Thrift; (3) Child Welfare; (4) The Negro and the Church—(a) The Situation Abroad, (b) The Situation in America, (c) Co-operation of White and Negro hurchmen, (d) Social Uplift in the Church; (5) The Negro in the Reconstruction—(a) Negro Labor, (b) Negro Education, (c) Negro Citizenship. Representatives of the great welfare agencies of the country, state and international boards of health, bureaus of the government, leading churchmen and authorities of national and international reputation have been invited to speak upon the
and all the rest of that and evening,
assisting to dress and wait on her.
That same Monday evening, Mizz
Bass sat by her bedside which enabled
us to get a little sleep and Tuesday
night we sat up all that night and
waited on her as well as anyone possibly could. On Wednesday evening
our good tried and true friend, Mrs.
Nora E. Lee, 5259 South Dearborn
st, was at her bedside all night. Each
morning Miss T. Smith, graduate
nurse of Provident Hospital, as a
visiting nurse was on hand to assist
in every way she could to make her
feel better and rest better.
Thursday afternoon, October 23,
one of our steadfast lady friends,
whose name will be withheld at the
present time arrived at our home and
like a good angel of mercy not for
money but for pure love she waited
on Mrs. Taylor who at that time was
nothing more than a helpless little
child and that dear and loyal-friend
remained from Thursday noon until
Friday noon.
Thursday evening when Dr. Thomas arrived we asked him if he thought that it would be advisable to call in another doctor and consult with him in relation to the condition of Mrs. Taylor. He replied that if we felt that we wanted to call in another doctor that it would be alright with him, but that Mrs. Taylor was receiving the best medical attention and otherwise that any human being could receive.
Then we looked him right square in the eye and said, "Dr. Thomas, we do not want you to fool us but we want you to tell us the absolute truck as to Mrs. Taylor's condition." And he said, "Mr. Taylor, if your wife can hold on to life for the next 12 or 24 hours she will pull through; otherwise the end is in sight, that
her age was against her and that all that we could do was to continue to wait on her well, give her plenty of medicine, hot whisky toddy and from 6 o'clock Thursday evening until 6 o'clock Friday morning, we were right by her bedside. Our lady friend being near unto us and every time that Mrs Taylor would take a long, slow breath, as though it was her last, our heart would stand still, for a few moments it was really the death watch of her sickness everytime that the clock would toll off the hours we would credit them up to her chances of recovering. (To be continued.)
several subjects outlined above. It is expected that out of the Congress will grow the formulation of a program looking to the just settlement of the problems of reconstruction that relate particularly to the Negro, as indeed all the problems of reconstruction, more or less, of necessity include him.

NOBILITY OF CHARACTER.
There is in the heart of every man and woman, boy and girl, to lean toward goodness no matter how depraved the environment may be. To them hope is a star. The upward struggle is always contrary to that which lies below. We are ever setting our whets to catch the full clear observation of better things. That which is true, that which is righteous. This soul-stirring and hungering enanates from the best that is in our life.
Certainly we may demonstrate the evil attributes, nothing is more natural, and yet our self-fear often is the balance wheel and the determining factor. We are always striving to improve our condition, dissatisfied with conditions we are anxious to throw off and so decisive in our insecurity that we strive to reach the sure footing that society applauds.
For centuries upon centuries men have held up before their gaze the lamp of light that gives lustre to a clearer conscience. That is why we at once conclude that the world is better and because the things that tend to promote a nobler living we are seeking to become better.
The facility of better living is our greatest urge for better being. The old shop-worn principles of chance do not stimulate the energy in the same proportion they formerly did. The new era with new problems and greater opportunity bring to us the revelation of stronger beliefs and furnish incentive for higher aims.
This is why men would mount an aeroplane to fly from continent to continent. this is why a noble humanity would be charitable. This is why people strive to lift the fallen.
Seeking to become better is the chief aim of a nobler humanity. How else can we 'make progress?'
Keeping this constantly before you, all that pertains to life eventually reveals a full fruition of ones fondest hopes, embellished with all that is beautiful, all that is worth while and desirable.
The greatest thing in the world is the well rounded individual with the ideal contemplation of life. The scope of such a one's mental reach encompasses the earth and its fullness. The spirit that determines a human being full grown in every lovely grace, therefore must have emanated from the great central force of the universe.
Coming from self-fear to a nobler realm where goodness and truth are the chief factors of nobility of human life is almost as far as infancy is from old age.
Time has figured in the equation of our lives struggling forward through the years to this lofty estate and and harsh experiences have been the hot fire to bring into happy subjection the unregenerate parts of us that we may attain certain degrees of human perfection.
Character is then the end and aim of all, but few attain the summit whither we trend, and yet while we fall short of the mark it is the noblest employment to which we might give the years, for in such achievements we are adding our full quota to the world and for our human kind unblessed as we are blessed.
It is a great pity that there is a somber glow to our life plane and that so much of humanity is rudimentary and ugly, and yet life has to have its lightes and its shadows. There must be a point of beginning just as there must be valleys at the base of the mountain peak. The differences, inequalities, and difficulties imbue the heart to struggle and to have and to be and which determines character.

SHE WAS A LADY FAIR.
How to make the people like you is without doubt a fine art, and it can be cultivated. Lots of people act as if they wish to be hated. Recently something seems to have come over the race that has checked its famous dolef spirit. It is not easy grace for years made us easy to approach. Often you see people that seem cold and indifferent and you'd suppose that it was a cultivated art, when lo! they are just showing the acquired graces we borrow from the people of the frigid northern clime.
People's politeness alas! However, it is taken too often for blandishments. At any rate it is very easy to be right and polite and pleasant with people who show a kindly anxiety to become acquainted and yet it is very often bad form to encourage attentions of men because they too frequently mistake a kindly manner for a disposition that is inclined to appreciate advances of the improper kind. In this era of the world, true womanhood is at a discount. The reason being that all or nearly all men are rascals, and are looking for those they can get. The hypocrite will dispute the above statement for it expresses the moral deprivacy of men to a letter, but for heaven's sake keep the little girls out of the reach of the scoundrel that makes any pretense to goodness whatsoever.
But we have been growing and if the art to make people like you is to become one of our saving graces, let us cultivate first making our own race like itself.
Society is shot to pieces by a thousand ugly charges that the art is carried too far in making, people like us, that are not of us.
The writer witnessed just such a scene recently, the lady ranked higher than many of the best we know, but she was a mess of grins and smiles in conversation with a third rate poor white fellow. The scene was sickening, a gentleman of her race bowed politely with his hat in his hand and the panther kitten of her animal blood cut him into ribbons with eyes sharp as hell.
But she knew the art of making white men like her and also acted as if she wished to be hated.
This Chicago society lady is one

MISS HELLEN EUGENE HAGEN
MUS. B
By Dr. M. A. Majors.
All Chicago should feel proud of the announcement that Miss Hellen Hagen Mus. B. has cast her lot with us. It indeed is a triumph worthy of our boast.
Miss Hagen has been given a favorable impression of our city and of her race which doubtless was the determining factor in her decision to live and work among us.
As a pianist her capabilities are not to be questioned. She is a graduate of Yale University School of Music. The Schola Cantorum at Paris, France and from the press reports of many of our leading cities where she has delighted audiences with her wonderful gift and rare musical technique we find her generally acknowledged proficiency the marvel of all.
She is worthy of our race devotion and support. She has opened a studio in the Mendelssohn Conservatory in the McClurg Building. Music lovers will now be given the rare opportunity of availing themselves of the best musical culture and instruction to be had in the west. The Broad Ax takes special delight in this young woman's rare ability because of her very great achievements and because by her rare charm and versatility she has won for the race a place in the sun.
Here again is the opportunity for the race to show its noblest spirit in sustaining the real and the ideal. We cannot give a matter of such moment merely passing praise. We must exercise the profoundest consideration in enterprises of such great importance for while we will be paying the sincerest homage to one so worthy of our kind we cannot fail to secure for our young aspirants in music the transmission of her talents. This is in the development and progress of the race. Inspiration is impelling and forceful. The excellent graces and the charm of sweet music fit us for the

Seriven, the head of the Automobile Co. of America, for whom the colored man at one time used to work. Mr. Seriven and the bank teller contended that the signature to the check was not genuine, and after a preliminary hearing of the witnesses for the people Attorney David Outlier, for the defendant, waived examination, and Harleston was held in $1,500 bail to answer to a charge of forgery in the Court of General Sessions.

Delaneey N. Scroggins, the colored ex-policeman, has issued a sworn statement assailing Editor George W.

They both were surprised that the Negro had not in a legitimate way pressed his claims before and pledged themselves to give in the future and at all times any assistance within their power to see that the colored citizen was assured of an honest chance and a square deal.
The famous Provinetown Players an organization of New York's leading white playwrights and actors, gave four one act plays of great merit to a private audience last Friday evening and will repeat these plays nights until the 13th of November to strictly private audiences of New York's elite society.

In "The Dreamy Kid" nothing but Negro characters are used in a play dealing with colored life. Mr. Harold E. Simmelkjaer played the "Dreamy Kid," Miss Margaret Rhodes was Irene, Miss Ruth Anderson was Mammy, and, Miss Leathe Colvert was Ceeley Ann. They all did well and were splendidly received by the audience.

First Case Is Called
In the first of the two cases tried that of Frank Hicks, several witnesses for the state testified they saw Hicks fire the shots on the morning of Oct. 1 which resulted in the death of Clinton Lee, an ex-soldier of this city. The defense said it had no witnesses.
Court adjourned out of respect for Judge P. O. Thweatt, oldest member of the local bar, whose son was buried today.
This afternoon court reconvened. Both sides waived their closing arguments. Judge J. M. Jackson instructed the jury. Eight minutes passed and then came the verdict of guilty of first degree murder.

THE NATIONAL SITUATION.
League of Nations, Labor Troubles
Race Hostilities, Politics.
By Beauregard F. Moseley.
League of Nations.
The defeat in the Senate of all amendments offered to the Peace Treaty and the League of Nations does not mean its adoption without reservation, which, if adopted with those already proposed by the Foreign Relations Committee, would make it as worthless as a scrap of paper.
Labor Troubles
The labor situation is becoming acute—not that labor is underpaid or overpaid, but because $15\%$ of the laborers have unionized or banded themselves together to control the labor market to the exclusion of $85\%$ and $100\%$ of those who employ labor. This condition has already resulted in the coal and steel strikes and general suspension of business where industry is concerned, all because labor organized and unorganized, does not seem to know its limitations. The right to belong to a union is no greater nor binding than the right not to belong to one, and both rights are limited just as the right to vote or the right to live is limited, and as long as kept within the proper confines of its proper limitations, no real trouble will ensue. $15\%$ can do nothing but threaten, if the $85\%$ will continue to pursue the even, larval tenor of their way, for law enforcement will soon demonstrate the power of the majority.
Race Hostilities
The failure of certain citizens, both white and colored to take into consideration in the various communities in which they reside, public sentiment as well as the written law, is causing an valanche of race hatred to be

poured down upon the negro. This is evidenced almost daily, not only in the race clashes and hostile expressions from whites to blacks and from blacks to whites, but rather in the fact that these clashes are between the educated Negroes and the whites to a larger extent than they ever existed between the uneducated parents of those educated Negroes and the whites. Time was when once in this country an educated negro was regarded by all the whites in any given community where the Negro might reside as an honor and asset. Other Negroes were referred to him for advice and guidance. Fred Douglass, Booker T. Washington, Wright Cuney and a host of others in their day, attest the truth of this fact. They did not belong to associations to secure compulsory social equality, nor to labor unions, Y. M. C. A.'s or Urban Leagues, quasi-social organizations controlled and officered by a certain class of whites, but somehow they got along with their white neighbors, and their white neighbors never thought of Jim Crow cars, separate regiments, or separate rooms for them while in public service at the nation's capitol or elsewhere. But they are gone, and the educated son and daughter have taken their turn in the public ye. They perhaps know more than did their uneducated sires, and are often heard to refer to them as "handkerchief heads," Uncle Toms" etc., but we would like to know what recompense is there for us as a race to receive by their conduct, superior to that which enabled our fore-parents to live to a ripe old age in peace and respect, with his neighbors and educated children?

LATE STYLES IN GOWNS AND HATS
Pannier Returns and Hoops About Hips May Be Seen— Sleeves at Vanishing Point. BLACK AND WHITE POPULAR
Colors Form Favorite Combination at French Resorts—Stripes in Narrow and Wide Arrangements—Skirts Are Very Short.
From all signs this will be a decisive season in Paris in so far as fashion creation is concerned. The designers seem to have taken on their old accustomed stride. They have turned their efforts unreservedly to leadership in the world of style.
To aid them in this crucial moment there are arriving from the United States, from South America, and from England hosts of buyers and fashion experts to watch the latest developments. This is almost a new experience. At least it is a revived experience, for through the last five years only the most favored of buyers have been allowed to cross the water and only a few of the dressmakers have kept up their work with anything like pre-war vigor.
American women during the war have developed a style all their own. They are dressing now as suits the climate and their life and their pursuits, which are quite different from the French woman's. And one sympathizes with the buyers, who wonder whether their clients at home will refuse to accept the wonderful things brought over from France. If their eyes are trained only for beauty they will be dazzled into letting all their accumulated notions of dress go by the board and the conservatives at home will not be suited.
At this time of the year all of France, as all of the rest of the world, seeks a cool spot; and so it is at Deauville and the other resorts by the seaside that one looks upon the fashionably arrayed crowd of women and is able to gain some idea of the trend of the times as regards dress. 'They are wearing the very latest things from a French point of view, and, of course, the majority of the fall fashions will follow in some respects the lines favored just now.
Skirta Are Very Short.
Well, the tendency is all in the direction of the skirts that are shorter than anything America has ever worn or even dreamed about. You hear it said that the Parisians are wearing their skirts very long, but when you see them with their skirts actually extending just below their knees, so that when their arms are raised the skirt pulls above the knee, you know what a short skirt really is. It is easy on material and is extremely good looking when the figure of the wearer can stand the strain. The skirts are tight, too, but what matters that when their length is what it is? No trouble about taking a good, long step in a dress of this character. Then the coats, when it is a suit, reach almost to the bottom of the skirts, leaving, in fact, only about two or three inches of the skirt to be seen. The coats are either strictly tailored or they show a little fullness about the hips. That tells a story of forthcoming fullnesses of even greater volume.
It is so with the dresses. Always there is a slight gathering of extra material where the hips join the waist. It is the pannier that is greeting us on the broad highway of fashion. As yet it is not large enough nor full enough to be alarming, though there are rumors of hoops about the hips and even about the bottoms of the skirts. The sleeves now in vogue can hardly be called sleeves. They actually are just a little strip of material over the top of the shoulder. In most instances that is all, and the_Parisians wear them fearlessly for morning and afternoon. In the evening there is no sign to be seen of sleeves. Even the blouses for wear with tailored suits are scantily equipped as to sleeves. They will be quite high at the neck, buttoning up under the chin most uncomfortable on a hot day, and then they will have these little, inadequate sleeves—that is, they are inadequate for anything except setting off a good-looking arm.
Indeed, a Frenchwoman's dress of the present mode is little more than two strips of material sewed together and cut kimono fashion, though the lines of her frock are not flowing; they follow the outline of her figure.
Evening gowns, far from being an exception to this rule, carry things to an exaggerated degree. The economical use of material there extends to the neckline, which not only opens at back to the waist, but sometimes below that point. These gowns are low in front also. All that is used for the bodices are two pointed strips of material on either side of the front. In order to keep this on there are strings of jewels or beads attached to the points strung around the neck, and from the back of the neck strung to the waistline again. It is the fabric of the evening gown that counts for everything and its draping.
Lalensez-Faire.
Laissez-faire means letting alone; a general noninterference with individual freedom of action; the let-alone principle of policy of the government and political economy. The term was first used in France to designate the principle of political economy which would leave industry and trade absolutely free from taxation and restriction by government except so far as required by public peace and order. It has since been extended to include noninterference with any guillotine exercise of the individual will.
This is a charming creation in black satin with black-beaded chiffon bodice ever jade blue silk.
REVIVAL OF SEPARATE SKIRT
Garmment for Dressy Wear Promises to Hold Favor According to Fashion Correspondent.
The season is marked by the revival of the separate skirt for dressy wear. Some novel forms of drapery and looped panels promise to play a prominent part in the autumn skirts, observes a prominent fashion writer. Lines of distinction characterize the models of recent importation, and the soft silks and satins lend themselves gracefully to the voluminous drapery.
The newest skirts are long enough to cover the boot tops and quite wide enough for comfort. The widths at the bottom will vary from a yard and a quarter to a yard and three-quarters, with all widths between. Silk and satin models are inclined to be a bit wider.
One smart skirt interpreting the autumn vogue was shown in supply black satin and pale gray crepe. It was draped low about the hips, but in great cascades at the sides. These drapes were turned inside out and faced with the gray crepe. A wide crushed girdle of the material wrapped itself snugly about the walst. To complete this skirt, one wears a lovely blouse of pale gray georgette embroidered with sparkling jet beads. For a pleasing change one might also choose a bodice of black satin with gray trimmings, to harmonize with the skirt.
FASHION CALL FOR PAJAMAS
Garment Gaining Favor for House Wear Instead of Room Robes; Got Over Footlights.
The French fashion for wearing ornate and brilliantly-colored pajamas in the house instead of room robes has been taken up in America. The fashion was exploited by the stinge and got over the footlights to the public.
American women, however, are adopting the Chinese costume, which they call by the name of pajamas. The loose trousers are laced in to fit the ankles, and the feet are slipped into gay Chinese slippers. There is a short tunic, in the Chinese manner, worn over the full trousers and often there is a sash in brilliantly-colored Chinese crepe.
There's not a gulf of difference exed between the modern skirt, with its wide bips and tight hem, and the palamus with their fullness at the bips and their head ankles. These costumes are made in mufon, crepe georgette, and heavy white Chinese sit.
EASH NOTES
Many little children are armor charming in pure yellow fools. An oilcloth motor coat in white and red has three buckled belts. Long-haired furs like monkey and gray hare, are preferred for trimming. This trimming usually applied to wide-brimmed hats, and no other ornament is employed. Bead frogs are a novelty that forms an interesting trimming for chiffon and other sheer fabrics. They are frogs of the regulation shape, formed of beads strung and sewed into place. More and more use of lace, both as a trimming and in combination as a fabric, is noted. The all-lace dress, blouse and hat are here, but the biggest acceptance is of models of lace and geogrette, or of lace and net or lace and volle.
Evening Blowers
Blouses specially designed for evening wear are in pastel colorings of georgette and chiffon, and hair net face is an effective form of trimming
Jade Favorite Gem in China
Light green jade is the favorite gem of China, and it is difficult to get the stone in uncut form even in that country. Sometimes a rich Chinaman's estate will consist in part of a lump of jade. Sometimes it can be obtained in pounds. But even the leading jewelers of Hongkong usually obtain it in cut form.

THAT NEW SUIT FOR WINTER
```markdown
```
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 bear 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 some 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 dewdaws on many of the new frocks, says the New York Times. In view of the reported general secrecy of kid, which there is no reason to doubt, the question has arisen 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 Paris-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 cloths of several seasons ago, are used to develop some very modish coats.

R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers CHICAGO Ask the Colored American Citizens This Great Question
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. 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.

Stop Thief!
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.
Use mantle burners to get more light with less gas. Burning five hours a day for a month, the "Jumbo" consumes $2.30 worth of gas; a "Junior" mantle burner, in the same time, consumes only 39 cents worth, or $1.91 less, and gives much more light.

Measure of Greatness.
Great men, great events, great epochs, it has been said, grow as we recede from them; and the rate at which they grow in the estimation of men is in some sort a measure of their greatness—Principal Shairp.
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. A rare man might climb to the top of the dome and see the whole circle of the landscape under the white light of a pure atmosphere. But most of us look through one window, each upon a different world, each world colored by our own individuality.-Robert S. Barrett.
Find Date Valuable Food
Dates form the staple food of the Arabs in a large part of Arabia and are served in some form at every meal. Sirup and vinegar are made from old dates, and by those who disregard the teachings of the Koran a kind of brandy is distilled from them. The date pit is ground and fed to the cows and sheep, so that nothing of the precious fruit may be lost. Whole pits are used as beads and counters for the Arab children in their games on the desert sand.
Bees Distinguish Colors
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 chromotropism to prefer certain colors to others. They accumulate experience and remember that certain colors are associated with certain nutritive benefits.
Evil Always to Be Fought.
There can be no compromise with evif. It never is right to license wrong, whatever golden returns it may offer, or however difficult it may be to get rid of it. In our social life and in our personal life, wherever evil shows its hand there must be battle, not compromise.—Exchagne.
To Prevent Fire.
Paint paper lamp shades with solution of alum. They will not catch fire so easily.
Four Into One.
"A monthly holiday, closed all day every Wednesday is also to be observed from April to September."—Glasgow Evening Times.
Two Fatalities.
The freight train caused the explosion by hitting a truck loaded with acetylene tanks. The truck and driver was killed.—Buffalo News.
Deadly Arabian Sirocco.
The sirocco or sand storm of the Arabian desert is exceedingly treacherous. It often digs pits two hundred feet deep, scattering the sand for miles around.
Proof of Biblical Truth.
Proof of Biblical Truth.
Perhaps the most impressive fact of record concerning disease in ancient times is found in the Bible, in the First Book of Samuel, where we are told that the land where the Philistines were overrun with a plague of rats or mice and that thereupon the people were smitten with bubonic plague to punish them for their seizure of the Ark of the Covenant. Thousands of years later our modern science discovered that rats are the chief disseminators of that pestilence—New York Herald.

The Mohammedan woman may show her face only to men whom she may not marry. This means that a man may see the face of his mother, wife, sisters, daughters, aunts, and none other of the women of his class.
New Way of Tinting.
Glass may be tinted permanently by immersion in the medicinal water of Bath, England, and this recent discovery is to be made use of in the establishment of a stained glass industry.
"Good Night" Is Too Long
The countryman's "How do?" or "How be?" is outclassed by the London printing trade's "Good" or "Good, George"—omitting the "night" and the "morning."—London Chronicle.
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. The plant has drooping leaves, but no branches like fruit trees of the north countries. Each stalk produces one large cluster of fruit. After fruiting, the stalk is cut down to the surface of the ground and grows up again from the root.
Colorado's Wonderland
The Garden of the Gods is a tract of land, about 500 acres in extent, near Colorado Springs, Colo. It abounds in weird and fantastic pinnacles of red and white sandstone, some of them more than 300 feet high. Among the chief features are the Cathedral spires, the Balanced rock, etc. The gateway of the garden consists of two enormous masses of red sandstone, 830 feet high, sufficiently far apart for the roadway to pass between them.
Garden of Eden in Mexico3
Garden of Eden in Mexico
A prehistoric race that lived in Mexico centuries before Cortez ever arrived there to crush the power of the Aztec kingdom, was a civilized people who were flooded out of existence by a deluge that swept the valley of Mexico, as relics picked up near the capital city prove, and some writers assert that Mexico was the site of the beginning of man and that it was in this valley that Noah set forth for his 40-day tour of the flooded world.
Red Tape Citadel
"Circumlocution office" is a description used by the great novelist, Charles Dickens, in his book, "Little Dorrit," to ridicule official delays and indirectness. It is described as the chief of "public departments in the art of perceiving how not to do it." The name has come into popular use as a synonym for governmental routine, "red tape," procrastination and delay in transacting public business.
When Holland Banned Orange. There was a time when Holland forbade the sale of oranges and carrots. Orange was the color of the stadtholder's family, and when the democratic feeling against this family was at its height the fruit or orange color was taboo.
