COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIMMONS, WHO IS FULL OF WIND AND BLUSTER, FAILED TO SHOW UP AT DENVER, COLORADO, WHERE HE WAS BILLED TO ORATE AT SO MUCH PER WORD. VOL. XXV Monday night Roscoe Conkling Simmons whom the Star and the daily papers had boosted so highly, and invited and encouraged thousands of white and Colored to be at the largest city edifice to hear his "soul stirring, burning message" of truth and helpfulness to the race, did not show up, neither did he even phone or telegraph or show the least signs of interest in our proposed meeting so greatly advertised. He was wholly indifferent to the Denver citizens and their racial interest; he did not care to what expense we had gone; what great and grave responsibilities the Denver Negro Citizen by advertising and personally soliciting our millionaires, our well to do and ordinary business men (white) to come out and become interested not only in our local N. A. C. P, but in our racial welfare as shown by our business management to put "big" things over and our great thought of our own He did not even think well enough of our Western hospitality as to write a one cent card in advance expressing a doubt as to his probable coming to our city. He stabbed Denver, slammed her citizenry and insulted and spit into the face of every person who attended the Auditorium Monday night to their deep chagrin. This week we are the laughing stock of white Denver, and our enemies are chuckling in their sleeves and saying "I told you so." Negroes are all unreliable, even their big Negro Simmons disappoints them. Their word is worth nothing. No telegram of apology, no letter explaining his absence and we are left to think what we please, good or bad. Some say wine, women and song, and some say one thing and some another, while others who know are guessing the cause, but the Star don't really know, as our local committee did not even know where to phone him; where to telegraph him except to his manager, Editor Bass of the Los Angeles Eagle. Our men and women went to CONGRESS ADJOURNS Race Gets Nothing Special Session at close of World Democracy War has bills for rights to Colored Americans but passes none—Madden bill to abolish Jim-crow cars only bill voted on, is overwhelmingly defeated in House. Appeal made to race to make desperate fight at once with regular session December lst. . . . Washington, D. C.—Wednesday of this week saw the sudden adjournment sine die of both houses of Congress. It was a special session on gathering up the fruits of the World Democracy war. The question of the rights for Colored Citizens at such a session should have been given sympathetic consideration especially in view of the mass attacks on the Colored race at home. Rep. Mason and Sen. Curtis had resolutions to investigate race riots. The Curtis resolution was considered by the Judiciary Committee. The N. A. A. C. P. presented data, the National Equal Rights League sent a delegation to the Committee after telegraphing Senate and House Chairmen repeatedly, asking said Committees to initiate an anti-lynching law, Senate Chairman Nelson said the telegrams had led to appointment of a sub-committee to investigate issue of constitutionality. There riot bills stopped. Jim-Crow Cars. The most positive measure where legality was not in doubt was the Madden Bill against Jim-crow cars for interstate passengers. This was given a full hearing before the Interstate Commerce Committee of the House, Colored men being heard. Two weeks ago the Esch Bill to return railroads to owners was reported without the Madden bill item. The National Equal Rights League telegraphed Rep. Madden who replied that he would move an amendment and asking assistance. The League sent a delegation to the House and sent appeals by letter to every Northern Congressman, including 237 Republicans. Last Saturday the amendment was offered, debated and voted on and but 12 voted to abolish Jim-crow cars and one of the 12 was a democrat. Appeal to Race. The news of this vote has caused deep thought here as to how much relief and protection a Republican Congress affords the race. Nationally the National Equal Rights League is making an appeal to the entire race to make a stand with the regular session which begins December 1st. The League urges that Congressmen be urged to introduce a straight anti-lynching bill and especially that a desperate effort be made to have the Madden Amend- THE BROAD AX great expense to greet this royal and distinguished man. All the 100 boxes were taken and sold out. The club ladies in sections, the secret societies in rows and the young society women in chartered corders all were there promptly at 8 o'clock waiting the coming of the "Conquering Hero." Fully 1,500 white people who had bought tickets before the lecture were there and more coming, only to be disappointed and made to feel small for ever believing Negro reliability. Meetings, secular, fraternal and spiritual were postponed to do honor to his regal Highness, who took cold feet. We do not know who of this local committee is really at fault for this irreparable injury to our race and to the N. A. A. C. P.; we do not know whether any business judgment had been fully and amply displayed or not; we do not know how much real money this foolish and inexusable, as well as, unpardonable blunder cost but we do know that Denver will never stand for anything like that to happen again. The whole affair smacks of incompetence, ignorance of manners, methods of handling affairs for which there can be no excuse. To further criticise will only tend to make the guilty parties feel more humiliated for we believe they have suffered enough in the condemnation they have received from the public. Let Denver always remember this insult from Rosece Conkling Simmons. It appears to be so deliberate and distasteful as to be undelievable of any kind of a person who bears the title of a man much less a "big Negro" such as he is reputed being. Denver should now congratulate itself on being disappointed by a man who cares so little for his engagement. Denver never wants to hear him nor overread of him again, and we will go along as if nothing happened more than a gentle zephyr passed along our mountain range.—From the Stir, Denver, Colo., Nov. 22, 1919. ment offered in the Senate on the second day of December 2nd. The League asks that all citizens and all organizations at once write to every Northern senator to introduce or support an amendment abolishing interstate color segregation as the Railroad Bill is first on the calendar in the Senate. The League also urges that all protest to Northern Representatives the House vote against the Madden amendment and insist that it be brought up again and support when the Railroad Bill comes back from the Senate for concurrence at this epoch it is now or never on abolishing Jim-crow cars. THOUSANDS OF THE NOT FOR PROFIT CORPORATIONS NOT TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE STATUTE TO REINSTATE. During the years 1902 and 1903 corporations organized not for pecuniary profit, such as athletic and pleasure clubs, benevolent associations, lodges, political clubs, cemetery associations and other corporations of similar character, organized not for pecuniary profit, were required to file annual reports in the office of Secretary of State. The charters of thousands of such corporations have been cancelled for failure to comply with the provisions of this Act. The legislature in 1917 passed an Act providing that such corporations having their charters cancelled may reinstate at any time before January 1, 1920, by filling an application for reinstatement in the office of Secretary of State, and paying a fee of $5 but it appears that a majority of these organizations have failed to take advantage of this remedial legislation. An amendment to the Corporation Act of 1917 required the Secretary of State to certify all such corporations to the Attorney-General for dissolution, which has been done, but it appears that unless they find this fact out before January 1st and make application for reinstatement they will be without a remedy. As it is the opinion of Attorney Alvin C. Margrave, who is in charge of the Corporation Department, that such corporations cannot be reinstated after January 1st upon the payment of the small fee of $5.00, Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, would be glad to have all corporations organized not for pecuniary profit prior to July 1, 1903 take the matter up at once with his office and ascertain whether or not they are in good standing. If the corporation is sure that it filed reports for the years 1902 and 1903, respectively, this action is not necessary. Nor is it necessary for corporations organized not for pecun- [Name] Former State's Attorney of Cook County, who made a splendid record as such, who has many warm and loyal friends who would be delighted if he would enter the race for State's Attorney in 1920. iary profit since July 1, 1903, to take this matter-up with his office, as such corporations organized since then are not required to file Annual Reports in the office of Secretary of State. Virgil Williams, Head Owner of the Beautiful Royal Gardens, Is Already for the Big Republican Harmony Dinner Thursday evening December 4. Mr. Virgil Williams, who is one of the best and most progressive business men in this country, who has so successfully conducted the beautiful Royal Gardens, 459 E. 31st st., who has in the past and at the present time is sparing no pains nor money in an effort to make it the most attractive establishment of its kind in the world. The grand prominade, which can be favorably compared to the famous Peacock Alley of the Congress Hotel is a thing of beauty to behold, right at the present time its walls are being re-decorated with free hand oil paintings and the Indian and the other western scenes is truly the work of a real artist; and in every nook and corner the artist has carelessly dropped in some lovely panel work which will cause any one who dearly loves the true and the beautiful to pause for a moment and gaze upon the work of the artist. The beautiful and enchanting Gold Room will be more attractive than ever when it is all dressed or cleaned up for the Big Second Ward Republican Harmony Dinner which will be on the billboards at the Beautiful Royal Gardens Thursday evening, evening, Dec. 4. It will be the greatest Republican harmony banquet ever staged in the Second Ward. It will cost almost three thousand dollars and Hon. Geo F. Harding, Jr., tossed his check into a Jack pot for one thousand dollars in order to make the affair a grand success. Mr. James Griffin, the wide awake and business-like manager of the Beautiful Royal Gardens will assist mine host Williams to extend the glad hand of welcome to the one thousand white and colored statesmen (including the ladies if you please) and would be statesmen who will occupy seats around the banquet table. Mrs. Fowler, of Atlanta, Ga., mother of Miss Geneva Smith, 5363 S.

KERN he's Attorney of Cook County as such, who has many warm a delighted if he would enter the 20. ATTORNEY WILLIAMS WINS BIG VICTORY BEFORE THE INDUS- TRIAL BOARD. A. L. WILLIAMS, the fighting Attorney, made the people of Chicago sit up and take notice at the hearings before the Coroner of Cook County during the inquiry into the thirty-eight deaths sustained at the hands of mobs during the recent race riots in Chicago. Mr. Williams again starts out, by bringing Civil Action against the promoters of these deaths, under the statute of Illinois. His first case is victorious and he says that he intends to win in every case that he has been retained by the representative of the decedents. The Chicago Daily News thought well enough of Mr. Williams' victory to give it prominence on its first page with almost a column of matter pertaining to the victory, but failed to give to Mr. Williams the credit of which he is justly entitled. It is hard to conceive how so great a newspaper as the Daily News is admitted to be could fail to make such a mistake in not giving the name of the Lawyer in so important an article. The following is an excerpt from the Daily News on November 25th: MOB KILLING BINDS FIRM Widow Awarded $3,500 Under Workman's Compensation Law. Industrial Arbiter Holds Company Liable for Employees' Deed. The destructive acts of a mob may render an employer financially responsible for the dependents of an employee killed by a mob, according to an interpretation of the Illinois workmen's compensation law in a decision by the state industrial board. A decision of the board, signed by James Short, arbitrator, was received to-day by Ada Dozier, 3951 Prairie avenue. She is the widow of Henry Dozier, a colored workman. The widow is awarded $3,500 to be paid by Morris & Co. in weekly installments of $10.05. Dozier was killed in a riot on "Exchange avenue in front of the Morris & Co. plant July 31. The case involves the question of the extent to which an employer may be held financially responsible to the dependents of an employee, with special bearing on whether an employee killed by a mob of fellow employees may be said to have met his death "in the course of employment." Higher courts are expected to review the finding of the industrial board. A mob estimated at fifteen or twenty men from 17 to 25 years old followed. A brick hurled from this mob knocked the Negro down. He staggered on to the sheep pens at Morgan street, where he lay till the police took him to the county hospital. He died shortly after ar- rival, Joseph Sweek was declared by inquest witnesses to be the street sweeper who struck Dozier with a broom. This is the first case of its kind in the history of our existence. It is said that the cases to follow are against the City of Chicago and the County of Cook. The Statute provides that a person receiving his death at the hands of a mob, his heirs shall be compensated in the sum of not more than $5,000. Mr. Williams represents a majority of the cases of this description, and he says that notwithstanding the City's contention that it is not liable under the Statute for these deaths, he will produce sufficient law to sustain his actions against the City and he believes that when he produces this law he will obtain similar results in those cases as in the above mentioned case. Mr. Williams should be highly commended for his efforts and the people of our race are indebted to him for his activity in bringing about the result he has so successfully brought about. Few men of any race would have taken the pains that he has taken on behalf of his people in relation to the matter of the riots in Chicago. LIEUT-COLONEL GREEN DETAILED AT WILBERFORCE Lieut.-Colonel John E. Green, who has just concluded a long assignment as military attache in the Republic of Liberia and returned to this country a short time ago to assume duties in the Military Intelligenee Bureau, of the general staff, with headquarters in this city, has been relieved from service in the latter branch of the war department. Orders have been issued detailing him as professor of military science and tactics at Wilberforce University, Ohio, and he has gone up to assume his duties at that point. Lieut.-Colonel Green served at Wilberforce University prior to the world war and made a splendid record. He is one of the ablest officers in the regular army of the United States, regardless of race or color, and with Lieut.-Colonel Benjamin Oliver Davis, holds the next highest rank ever attained by a colored soldier in the army, the highest being Colonel Chas. Young, retired. COL B. F. MOSLEEY CONFINED TO HIS HOME WITH ILLNESS For the Past week Col. B. F. Moseley has been confined to his quarters in the Idlewild Hotel, 50 E. 33rd st. with a severe attack of the "Flu," or the La Grippe. His many friends hope that he will be able to be out again and attend to business like in the past. DOINGS OR MOVEMENTS AMONG THE COLORED PEOPLE IN NEW YORK CITY. Items and Comment Furnished by The Newspaper Service Bureau, 305 Broadway, New York, Professor Kelly Miller former dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, Howard University, Washington, D.C., spoke at Mt. Olivet Baptist Church, Sunday, November 23rd. His subject was "Radical Issues." An exceptionally large crowd was out to hear the former dean. He spoke in his usual manner and was very instructive and forceful in his address. He gave his views of the problems that confront us as a people and the necessary things to do in his opinion for the emoliation of the deplorable conditions. The audience listened attentively and gave Dean Miller a wonderful reception. This was the same church at which William Monro Trotter spoke last Sunday and Rev. Hayes of Mt. Olivet has said that it is his intention to have speakers of national reputation address his congregation as often as he can possibly secure them. The Y. M. C. A. membership reached the desired goal of 1,000 late Saturday afternoon. Asst. Secretary Kendall is much satisfied with the membership drive and its results to date. Last Friday James Gregory, colored, of 259 West 124th street, was held in the 12th Dist. Court on a charge of disorderly conduct. It was alleged that during the month of July Gregory had engaged in an argument with a grocer named Joseph Dresden and by way of finally convincing Dresden had resorted to the primitive method of using a hammer on the said grocer's head. This the grocer naturally resented and the trial Friday was the result. Gregory will have a chance to convince the Court of Special Sessions that he was in the right.

There have been many robberies of overcoats left at duly authorized check rooms recently and last Monday evening Frank A. Anderson the check room man at the popular St. Mark's Hall was arrested charged with the larceny of the overcoat of Russell P. Coleman of Orange, N. J. Coleman had after duly checking his garment at the window been cast into the cold and chilly hatless and coatless when it is averred Anderson had declared the apparel missing. This was too much for the New Jersey man and he had the checker arrested. In the Heihts Court on Wednesday Anderson promised never, never to conduct any jazz dance again and to reinburse Coleman for the loss. Upon this promise the presiding maistrate adjudged Anderson not uilty and allowed him to go. Harold E. Simmelkjaer was the principal speaker at the re-opening of the Kings County Forum last Sunday.

All musicdom was out in full foree Jast Sunday afternoon to listen to 2 Piano Recital given by Miss Hazel Harrison in Kimball Hall. For several weeks Miss Harrison had “been sidvertised under the direction of F. Wright Neuman, manager of big at tratcions in the artistic sense, and it was with no small degree of interest ‘that the audience assembled in sufi ¢ient numbers to pack the hall to its eapacity. ‘Mies Harrison had not spared herself im the matter of seclctions from the masters, and gave of her best in a pro- gram that was at once exacting both mentally and physically. She chose for performance the Bach- Busoni Chaconne, two Nocturnes and the Beminor Scherzo of Chopin, Liszt's transcription of the Beethoven ‘ Ade- Inide,’? the Liszt B-minor Sonata, ‘At the Spring,” ‘Will 0” the Wisp,”” “St. Franeis Walking on the Waters,”” transcription on the Schubert ‘*The ‘Trout,’’ and the Waltz on themes from “Leia.” ‘When the door swung open at the rear of the stage and a figure stepped forth, greeted by a burst of applause from the large audience, we beheld Ha- zel Harrison( the woman, attractive of charming personality modestly and yet “‘beeomingly attired. When she seated herself at the piano and played her first number, we felt ‘that we listened to Hazel Harrison, the intellectually trained musician; but a= ‘the program progressed, we were en. abled to look beyond the woman as such, beyond the merely intellectual and felt that we had come into the presence of the great masters, who ‘wrote beeause of the soul which they possessed, the impulse which prompted ‘and the voice within which hade them write and they dared not refuse.

The fact of the matter is that Miss Harrison had a mesmge to give and the audience was willing to listen, even as all intelligent audienees arc when the artist has a message. Her work at the piano was a revela tion to those who are inclined to take the Colored artist too lightly. We feel that Mr. Neuman, who may have had some coneern or misgivings about the advisability of exploiting a Colored artist, should have nothing to regret beeause of his act; for the artist fully proved herself indeed worthy of ‘the name and of the many favorable comments which she received. ‘There was a large number of white concert-goems present, but evidently they had not taken the matter of Miss Harrison’s appearance very seriously for the majority of the audience was made up of Chieago’s best class of Colored citizens.

PETER M. HOFFMAN IN TERCHURCH WORLD MOVEMENT PLANS NATION-WIDE SURVEY OF CONDITIONS AMONG NEGROES. a New York, Dee. 1—The Interehureh World Movement ix undertaking » study of conditions of the Negre churches and Negro communities of the United States, both city and country. as a part of its plan of a complete sur. vey of the church and community needs will be studied. Already schedules for rural condi tions have been prepared and are being sent to state representatives in all the ‘states where Negroes reside. These schedules will be used by trained and ‘competent Negro leaders and investi gators who will visit their own church: es and communities for gathering the facts. The’ churches will be studied slong the lines of physienk equipment. extent of the parish, financial resources, the minister snd the relation of the church to recreational and other activi ties of the community. The community will be studied from the po'nt of view of land ownership, occupations, com- munity organization, roads and other means of travel, te. In adilition to the rural survey there will be special studies of Negro oceupations, eduea- tional institutions and of city life. The survey will be so orpanzied that in every state where there is a consid. erable Negro population there will be a Negro associate supervisor to work with the white supervisor, the associate supervisor carrying out the plans for the Negro survey. There will be com petent leaders in every county to visit the Negro churehes and communities vathering facts. A most important and unique feature of this program will be inter-racia! councouneils, or committees, as the policy of this movement is to have councils, or committees, as the which will be inter-racial.

THE HARRISON FARRELL BEN- EFIT. By Dr. M. A. Majors. The report of the chairman of ar- rangements of the Harrison Farrell benefit given at Grace Presbyterian church demorstrates that the race has strength, fortitude and Christian benevolence. The only feature worthy of criti- cism is that Grace Presbyterian Church charged the committee $10 for what should have been donated in the spirit of Christian benevolence. No one was to be benefitted but a lit- tle sick child whose genius was cred- itable to the entire race, whose father and mother are dear who while they [lived gave their unselfish lives fo the uplifting of a helpless race We are positive that this $10 wow be handed back to the commit” attention was called to the fact Miss Estella C. Bonds and he: helpers in fostering a dear, kind pro. ject for a sick child are entitled to much more than the success their well carried out recital speaks in dol- lars. They are owed a debt of sin- ‘cere gratitude by the people of Chi- ‘cagto for their painstaking effort for so‘lofty a purpose, and the Christian church so splendid in its promises and pretences should set the world an example in Christian benevolence by donating the use of the church for the little sick orphan musical genius. Tf any church organization can not rise to the exigency of so high a pur- pose that church is a failure in spite of its culture, and its grandiloquent preachments. These kind ladies re- rpesent all that is high and grand in the religious and intellectual accom- plishments of the race and the church should unselfishly do the noblest things always in benevolence and Christian charity. PHILOSOPHY. By Dr. M.A. Majors. ‘The coal strike is getting its quictus ‘The Ianguage of the world is the English verbiage. Poetry is the attuned heart of the universe in song. The Armistice day was emphasized by one minute of quiet meditation and prayer. Oysters are not as expensive as eggs.

DOUGLAS Able and popular lawyer, brilliant orator and writer, who will be re-nominated and re-elected in 1920 to the Legislature of Illinois from the Third Senatorial District. By Dr. M. A. Majors. Sometimes we smile and act as if we could enjoy a few moments from out the busy vescissitudes of life. A vaudeville show, a splendid moving picture, or a society setting where the scenes make respectable gaiety. Occasionally it happens that one so environed as you associate editor whose profession is medicine with a large and growing practice and paid correspondent of magazineas, may tear himself away from the serious aspects of turmoil and strife to enjoy the rare pleasure of the comforting atmosphere of grecious souls whose hearts are right, whose time is precious, and whose service to humanity is a choice benediction—Wednesday. Nov. 12th, was just such a day to offer to us the opportunity. It happened this way.—We stepped into the very attractive Beauty Parlor of Mrs. Lelia Hubbard, 309 E. 35th street, where business was done with a rush and a snap. There we found anxious patrons waiting and being waited on. When later a brief spell offered, the able little proprietress said doctor let me present you my assistant. Mrs. Roberta Credit Ole recently of Baltimore and Mrs. Northington. These ladies she said are very competent in their line, and their skill in beauty work account largely for my very large trade. "You see," she said. "I am not a bit selfish, I like my help and encourage them in every way possible." We looked the Beauty plant over and found much that was inspiring and uplifting, for indeed it was a beehive of hurry, as well as beauty. Speaking of beauty Mrs Hubbard knows what beauty is. The ladies represent the highest type of far famed Baltimore and Chienco. On one side of this very attractive place we found a young gentleman of the race engaged in every thing fanciful in notions, lingere, dresses, comensal and silk fabrics of every discription. He told us he had tried business in the loop, but found his present location all that was desirable from the business point of view. After a nice dinner, and a manicure we departed proud of life and happy because there is yet's neerity, and much that is beautiful, and innocently sweet left in this old world. THREE QUESTIONS OF TODAY. Do you think it would be a good idea for the people who are making more money than they ever made, before to spend it all as fast as they make it for fine clothes and an expensive table heedless of tomorrow and its unknown perplexing situation? -You do. Don't you think it would be noble in our public men and women to admonish the race in matters of frugality, economy, and moderation? -You do. Well, how many of our leaders, preachers doctors lawyers, business people etc.; are cautious sufficient to make it a general appeal in such matters? -Not many you say. -Well, why in brilliant orator and writer, who elected in 1920 to the Legisla-Senatorial District. heavens name don't they stop for a minute to warn our race against reckless extravagance and the exaggerated ideas of the moment? The money wasted on the vain things of life could be spent for some very noble purpose, besides it is worth mentioning that we ought to help our own enterprises while the reckless speel of waste it attacking us.

Street, 3736 So Wabash ave, is rapidly recovering 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. Skirts 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 uncomfortably 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. In leed, 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. The 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. HANDY BAG FOR WAIST BELT Made of Watered Silk, Lined With Sateen; Cut in Two Pieces as Shown in Diagram. The sketch shows a handy little bag for fastening upon the left-hand side of a waist belt. It is made of watered silk and pieces of the shapes given in diagrams A and B, on the right of the illustration. The bag is edged with silk cord, the ends of which are knotted together at the bottom of the bag and frayed out into a tassel. The fold-over flag is bound at the edge, and fastens down with two push buttons. Small books are sewn on either side at the top of the bag in the positions indicated by the crosses, and eyes are sewn on to the lower edge of the waist belt in corresponding positions, so that the bag can be fast- A B X X ened in its place in a moment on going out, and as easily removed upon the return home. This little bag will be found very useful for holding tickets, etc., and just the few pence required for fares each day. Made in a larger size, with a cord handle attached, it forms a neat type of wrist bag, and if made for that purpose, the back should be stiffened with a piece of card cut to fit and sewn in between the silk and the lining. NEW SILK SHADES FOR LAMPS Designers Are Introducing Winsome Fabrics for Use in Furnishings of Bedrooms. Shades for the bedroom lamps are getting more lovely each day this fall and the designers are introducing a number of new fabrics that make a new note in the furnishings of the room. Of course the silk shade never goes out of favor, especially if it is of a pink or mauve color. One of these is of thin rose-colored rose crepe, shirred over a metal frame and lined with a thin silk. It has a new touch in the silk embroidery decoration which comes to light in a heavy and close button-hole stitch worked around the edge of the shade and encircling the flowers which form the decorative motif. For the yellow bedroom, the linen shade was designed, but it gives a fresh, cool look to any room when it is matched by table scarfs and dresser mats. Some are of ecru linen and are trimmed with wool button-holing and conventional wool embroideries in two-tone effects. A distinctive shade is of all colors of linen from pale canary to golden brown. The body is of pale yellow, but the design of love birds perched on a bough is of a darker shade, outlined in black. TULLE TURBAN IS BECOMING Headgear That Is Pretty and Easily Fashioned; Brown Shades Are Popular. The tulle turban is on the top wave of popularity just now; and no wonder, for it is so pretty and so easily fashioned, and the softness of the tulle makes it very becoming. Among the prettiest of these turbans are those in brown shades. Usually brown satin is used for the entire hat, though now and then georgette is employed. The tulle of the exact shade as the hat material is swathed around the crown in Turkish fashion, several thicknesses being rolled into a sort of scarf and drawn around the crown. A variation treatment is seen in the close-fitting turban with a soft crown and no brim. At the sides a circle of the tulle has been wired and left outstanding to give a wide flare around the hat. FASHIONS IN BRIEF Black chantilly is among the old laces revived. New glove colors for fall are very soft and rich. Printed georgette is now being used for separate blouses. Tiny curled feathers are used as trimming on fabric hats. Many of the extremely low necks are now being velled with tule. Broadcloth jackets with wool embroidery are worn with taffeta skirts. Redingote styles are made in strictly tailored effects in broadcloths and twill fabrics. Keeley squirrel "tubing" trims tricollette wraps which may be worn at any time of the year. To Remove Ink Stains Ink stains on white fabrics can be removed with peroxide of hydrogen. Drop it on the stain with a medicine dropper or, if it is a large spot, pour it on slowly from a spoon. As this preparation has a bleaching effect, great care must be exercised if used on colored materials. IN PRINCESS GOWN Favored Frock Not Affected by Downfall of Royalty. Women Cling to Some Version of This Type of Dress—New Eve- ning Style. The general downfall of royalty seems to have affected not one whit the princess frock. Always there are women of fashion who cling to some version of this type of dress. This year there are quite a few New York THE FASHION OF THE 1920S White Taffeta Evening Gown. designers who are adopting the princess frock states a fashion writer cess trock, skates a rassond writer. Of course, the princess of this year is a very different affair from that tightly molded dress which policed the figure some years ago. Very often the distinctive touch is confined to one side and draping is arranged so skillfully that the line is becoming to both slim and not so. A new evening frock is of white tafeta embroidered in silver and combined with silver lace, which gives an echo of the princess mode on one side only. Like so many of the evening frocks at present, an ostrich plume is employed as the climax of trimming. Both are as familiar in dress scenery as they are in desert scenery. 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." "Zouave" From Aloiers "Zouave" is the French name taken from that of a tribe in Algiers and this kind of light infantry was first employed in that country in 1831, the members being Algerians and dressing in semi-Moorish uniforms. Other countries, including the United States, have adopted the Zouave system, in the Civil war, and the Italian assault upon Rome in 1859, they were conspicuous. In the latter case defending the paral sniper enemy.

To Take Baby's Picture Anyone who has tried it knows it is a difficult task to take an indoor picture of an active child. 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.

REVIVAL OF SEPARATE SKIRT Garment 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 supple 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 waist. 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 trimming, 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 stage 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 croc. There's not a gulf of difference fixed between the modern skirt, with its wide hips and tight tigh, and the palamas with their fullness at the hips and their lace nails. These costumes are made in taupe, creme georgette, and heavy white Chinese size. FASHION NOTES Many little children are charming in pure yellow frocks. An oilcloth motor coat in white and red has three backlock belts. Long-haired furs, like monkey and gray hair, are preferred for trimming. This trimming is 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 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 Blouses Blouses specially designed for evening wear are in pastel colors of georgette and chiffon and hair napace is an effect of tone of hair. Jade Favorite Gem In China Light green jade is the favorite gem of China, and it is difficult to get the stone in unect 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 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 is 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 deeded 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 Deniseau say that whole sport dresses made of colored kid were worn at the recent races there, and the Paris cables told of leather dewdubs on many of the new frocks, says the New York Times. In view of the reported general security 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 Paris-designed models of flats 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. Fear in the Child. "There is a world of truth in Prof. Angelo Moso's emphatic declaration: "Every ugly thing told to the child, every shock, every fright given him, will remain like minute splinters in the flesh, to torture him all his life long." — "Psychology and Parenthood," by H. Addington Bruce. R. W. Hunter & Company, Bankers CHICAGO 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.

Our Different Worlds I once stood in a dome with different colored glass in each window. Thus four men touching each other might see a different scene; a red ocean, a green city, blues 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 Pind 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. Beea 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 evil. It never is right to license wrong, whatever golden returns it may offer or however difficult it may be to get rid of it.

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. 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 Phillistines were was 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.

"Good Night" Is Too Long "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 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 relies 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 Red Tape Orade "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. "Stay in School."

ST. --- Optimistic Thought Bananas CHICAGO, ILL The Cunningham Car Long before tobacco was known or smoked, sweet lavender was a favorite smoking mixture. Pipes have been dug up in Roman settlements, adorned with base-relief picturing the lavender plant. From which it is surmised that the Romans smoked lavender, which, according to writers of the time, is said to produce a feeling "active, ardent, and vigorous." People are often more concerned about creating a favorable impression than about the kind of person they wish to be considered. It is like demanding a beautiful photograph without regard to the features of the original. What period do you think I recall most frequently and most willingly in my dreams? No, the pleasures of my youth; they are so rare, too much mingled with bitterness and now too distant. I recall the period of my seclusion, of my solitary walks, of the fleeting but delicous days that I have passed entirely by myself, with my beloved dog, my old cat, with the birds of the field, the hinds of the forest, with all nature and her inconceivable Author—Housseau. 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.

The olive oil produced in the region of Bordeaux, France, has a lightness, a perfume, and a particularly delicate savor which have given it a worldwide reputation and made it an important article of export and a source of wealth for its producers. Most popular is the oil from Nice imported under the Bordeaux trade-mark. Linen From Nettle Fibre A company has been formed in Denmark for the manufacture of linen from the fibre of nettles. At a recent exhibition every one was struck by the whiteness and suppleness of the table cloths and napkins made of this nettle fibre. If mirrors be very dull and speckled, the following method is excellent: Take a small portion of whiting and add sufficient cold tea to make a paste; rub the glass with warm tea, dry with a soft cloth; rub a little of the paste well on the mirror and polish dry with tissue paper.
