Many Colored People Attending the Avenue Theatre Conduct Themselves in a Noisy or Boisterous Manner and Loudly Applaud The Actors or Performers at the Wrong Time and Mar the Most Intense Dramatic Effect of the Actors BEFORE THE PLAY DRAWS TO A CLOSE MANY OF THEM WILL RUSH OUT OF THE THEATER LIKE WILD SHEEP, TALKING AT THE TOP OF THEIR VOICES AND OTHERWISE CONDUCTING THEM-SELVES LIKE UNCOUTH OR UNREFINED LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER ENJOINED FROM SELLING COPIES OF THE PAPER AT PINE BLUFF, ARKANSAS, AND ANY ONE IN THAT CITY OR IN JEFFERSON COUNTY FOUND WITH A COPY OF IT IN THEIR POSSESSION WILL BE SENT TO JAIL. VOL. XXV Many C Conduct T The BEFORE THE PLAY DRAW THEM WILL RUSH OUT WILD SHEEP, TALKING VOICES AND OTHER SELVES LIKE UNCOUT AND GENTLEMEN. THE CHICAGO DEFENDER COPIES OF THE PAPER SAS, AND ANY ONE IN SON COUNTY FOUND THEIR POSSESSION W The past five or six weeks the writer has made it his special business to visit several theatres or moving picture shows or houses which are located in white neighborhoods and whose patrons are composed almost exclusively of white persons, some apparently wealthy and highly educated or refined: others seemingly not so well dressed and as highly educated as those first mentioned above; in fact they seemed to belong to the great middle or the working class of the whites. Our sole or main object in visiting, these various theatres which are largely patronized by the whites was to note if possible if there is any difference in their conduct and the conduct of Colored people in thethes where the audience is almost composed entirely of Colored people. With few exceptions the whites of both the upper and the lower class conducted themselves in a quiet manner and most of them if they had any comment to make in reference to the play or to the figures in the moving pictures, their conversations were generally carried on in low or subdued voices. It was very seldom that they applauded and made a great deal of noise at the wrong time. Frequently during the show when the most intense and thrilling scenes were being enacted by the star performers it was so quiet on the the part of the audience and everything in connection with the show was in such a passive state that it was not much trouble to hear a pin drop on the floor of the theatre. As the various shows drew to a close the vast majority of the whites did not break their necks, bursting or breaking out in the theatre like unto a wild herd of Texas cattle, but as a general rule they retired from the theatres in an orderly manner. Some may contend that this pen picture is overdrawn, but those who so contend can without much trouble ascertain these cold facts for themselves. Up until the past few years the Grand Theatre at 31st and State street was the haven for the better class of Colored people, and the whites then and at the present time are almost lost in the shuffle, and the result is that Colored people are its leading patrons. Prior to its closing the old Monogram Theatre, which was looted on State street just north of 31st, and in order for it to draw business from the Grand its Colored patrons were permitted to eat liver and onion sandwiches during the show and to laugh loud and make all the noise that they desired, and the odor from the cottonseed oil in which the liver and onions had been fried in was almost strong enough to knock any decent person down, and the most of those who formerly frequented the old Monogram now frequent the Grand, and at almost any show it is very difficult for any sane or sober person to hear themselves think, or to enjoy the show, owing to the constant noise, loud talking, loud laughing on the part of the Colored ladies and gentlemen who contend that they are enjoying themselves; that they are having a good time and that they entertain not the slightest consideration for any one who fails to conduct themselves like unto themselves. It was thought that when the Avenue Theatre at 31st and Indiana avenue was given over to the Colored people a few years ago, that in as much as the vast majority of the most highly respectable Colored people were fast moving east of State street and that those who remained on the west side of that grand divid- THE BROAD AX ing line were not so highly cultivated nor refined; that the Colored patrons of the Avenue Theatre would reflect the highest culture or refinement so far planted in the breasts or the minds or the hearts of the Colored people. Such, however, is not the case, for the conduct of many of those who constantly attend the Avenue Theatre is on a par with the horrible or disgusting or uncouth and boisterian conduct of those who are in evidence at the Grand Theatre, where they shout or yell their disapproval at those doing their stunts on the stage and even talk to them in loud voices, calling out names, greatly assisting to transform the show and the theatre into a regular monkey and poll parrot house or show. Saturday evening, February 28, and Saturday evening, March 6, the writer attended the Avenue Theatre and witnessed those two remarkable little plays in three acts each, entitled "The Unborn" and "The Other Woman." They were both full of sound and wholesome lessons or truths which left the most profound or lasting impressions on our mind; those executing the most important parts in the plays such as Charles Olden, Inze Clough, Carlotta Freeman, Evelyn Ellis and Arthur Simmons, are all dramatic artists of the first water or of the highest order, and yet while they were engaged in enacting the most intense parts of the plays and pouring their souls and all of their life into their art or high-class acting, many of those occupying seats in all parts of the theatre who were dressed in the height of fashion laughed out loud, kept up a continual noise and applauded at the wrong time to the utter disgust of decent or half civilized people, and thereby destroying the effect of the fine dramatic acting. One white lady and gentleman sat right opposite to us and we watched them very closely and during the whole show or evening they did not pitch their voices to the highest key while expressing their approval or disapproval of any part of the show nor of the acting. On the other hand a Colored lady and gentlemen occupied seats right next to us and they spent most of their time in talking out real loud and laughing or giggling like unto silly or brainless creatures. When the show drew near to the end many of them rushed out like wild sheep—just like they do at the Grand Theatre. One of the most important things that the vast majority of Colored people are sadly in need of at the present time is self-control—to drink in a larger consideration for the rights of other people and a thorough training along the lines of ethical culture. ENJOIN SALE OF NEGEO NEWSPAFER. Pine Blind Judge Puts Ban On Chicago Radical Publication. (Special to The Broad Illus) Pine Bluff, Ark.-Chancellor John M. Elliott issued an injunction restraining John Young, Jr., a Pine Bluff Negro or any other person from circulating the Chicago Defender, a Negro radical publication, in Pine Bluff or Jefferson County. The injunction was granted on the request of Mayor Mack C. Hollis and city attorney following the receipt of copies of the newspaper which gave a scandalous and false report of the murder of Officer C. C. Lynn, who was shot by Geo. Vieks. CHICAGO, SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920. [Name] Successful real estate dealer or broker; treasurer of Bethel A. M. E. Church; prominent in secret society circles; one of the big leaders of the Republican Party in the Second Ward, and the high or the head chief of Major General Leonard Wood's forces in the old fighting Second Ward. Under the injunction the police, sheriff and constable are authorized to seize every copy of the paper found and to arrest anyone in whose possession a copy is found. Vicks, the crazed Negro, was raising a "rough house" with his landlady and had ran out all the occupants of the house by shooting at them and officers were called to protect the Negroes and before City Detective Lynn could reach the house he was shot down in cold blood about 50 yards from the house. There was not the least blanance of race trouble. The officers came in response to a call to protect peaceable Negroes from a "bad Nigger." COL. ROSCOE CONKLING SIM MONS WAS DEFEATED IN HIS RACE FOR DELEGATE TO THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION FROM KENT- TUCKY. Col. Roscoe Conkling Simmons, who is always full of wind and bluster, who has for some time entertained the false idea that the earth, all things beneath it; that the sun, moon and the bright, shining stars, were all created for his special benefit; that they all revolve or move around him, at the same time recently put forth his best efforts to be elected delegate to the Republican National Convention from old: Kentucky, but such was not to be, for the State Convention enjoyed his talking very much, but it turned him down cold and hard and he will not be able to sit in the Republican National Convention as a delegate, from the state which has always been noted for fast horses, plenty of blue grass, good fighting whiskey and very beautiful ladies. In mentioning those in the last issue of this paper who contributed five to ten dollars or more to the Progressive Circle at its great meeting at the Eeighth Regiment Armory, Sunday afternoon, February 29th, some way or other we failed to mention the name of Mrs. Geneva Smith, 5363 S.

Anderson, who has for some years success- fully conducted a stenographer, shorthand and court reporting business in the down town district, at the same time studying law on the side, wound up her law studies at the Chicago Law School very successfully passing the rigid exami- ation which she was subjected to. In a short time she will be examined and admitted to the Bar by the Sup- reme Court of Illinois. Miss Anderson deserves much credit for her untiring efforts in improving and expanding her mind or intellect, which has enabled her to become the only Colored woman disciple of the great Blackstone in the Sucker State. MRS. ELIZABETH LINDSAY DAVIS ATTENDED THE FUN- NERAL OF HER BROTHER- IN-LAW AT PEORIA, ILLIN- NOIS. Monday morning, H. C. Gibson, who was one of the oldest and most highly respected Colored citizens of Peoria, Illinois, closed his eyes in death. His wife, Mrs. Gibson, is a sister of Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsay Davis of this city, and on Tuesday noon, Mrs. Davis left for that city to attend the funeral services. For many years, Mr. Gibson faithfully served as Deputy Sheriff, as he was the leading Colored politician of Peoria. The many friends of Hon. Charles W. Weinfield, and Hon. Daniel J. Schuyler, feel confident that- when the cases against them who have been charged with falsifying the record in connection with their income taxes in 1916 comes to a showdown in the United States Court, that they will be cleared of all charges pending against them and thoroughly vindicated of any intention of doing or coimmitting any wrongful acts in that respect. PUMMEL SOUTHERNERS WHO CALLED TRAIN PORTER NIGGER Five Arrested But Are Damised When Troublemakers Fall to Show Up. A Pullman car on a Pennsylvania train looked like a cyclone had hit it Monday night following a fight in which five waiters and two white passengers from Crackerland is alleged to have taken place. Blood was spattered about the coach and the whites got the worst of an affair which they started. Just after the train left Baltimore, bound for New York, the two Southerners had their ire aroused when they entered the diner and saw a colored porter eating. "We can't eat with 'Niggers,' they blurted out as they left the dinner and went in search of Conductor Joseph Holroyd. They demanded that they be served in their drawing room. Thomas E. Jefferson, a waiter living at 162 W. 141st street, New York City was sent to get the Crackers' orders. He served them, while they muttered out insults about the colored man eating in the diner. A proffered tip was refused by Jefferson. He told the conductor that the men were in a belligerent mood. One of the white men, whose name is Hoke, made a pass at Jefferson and hostilities began. Some of the waiters became mixed up in the melee and the other white man—Barrett—got a badly cut face. When the train reached Wilmington, five waiters were arrested for disturbing the peace and brought to Baltimore, where they deposited collateral of $51.45 each for their appearance at the Central Police Station Tuesday morning. Jefferson and the other four waiters live in New York City. They are: James P. Phillips, 203 W. 142nd street; Walter H. Hays, 201 W. 136th street; Holman Drake, 108 W. 139th street, and Samuel V. Green, 151 W. 140th street. Though telegrams were sent to the Waldrof-Astorin, the white men did not appear Tuesday morning and the case was adjourned that afternoon. After the conductor had testified as to the conduct of the passengers, Justice Johannsen dismissed the men on the ground of insufficient evidence the whites again failing to show themselves. Hary B. Wolf was the attorney for the waiters. Hayz, who was not in the fight is a THE NEGRO QUESTION AND THE PRESIDENTIAL AS-PIRANTS' REPLIES TO BE SENT TO NEGRO PRESS THROUGHOUT THE NATION. HOOVER, PERSHING, WOOD, PALMER, McADOO AND UNDERWOOD AMONG THE CANDIDATES SENT QUESTIONNAIRES. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, 70 Fifth avenue, New York, announces that a questionnaire has been sent to every man prominently mentioned as a presidential possibility, asking him to state his views on a program for bettering race relations in the United States. The replies are to be published in the Negro press throughout the country. The questionnaire is as follows: "If elected President: 1. Will you favor the enactment of laws making lynching a Federal offense?" 4. Will you withdraw armed or other interference with the independence of Haiti? 5. Will you urge national aid to elementary education, without discrimination against Negro children? 6. Will you pledge the apportionment of Negro soldiers and Negro officers in the armed forces of the United States in proportion to their numbers in population? 7. Will you abolish racial segregation in the Civil Service of the United States?" 2. What is your attitude toward the disfranchisement of Americans of Negro descent: (a) will you advocate that Congress enforce the Fourteenth Amendment and reduce the representation of states which disfranchise their citizens or (b) will you advocate the appointment of United States Commissioners to enforce the Fifteenth Amendment? 3. Will you endeavor to bring about the abolition of "Jim Crow" cars in interstate traffic? son of Rev. D. W. Hays, a prominent minister of the Washington M. E. Conference. ARKANSAS GOVERNOR APPOINTS COMMITTEE ON RACE RELATIONS. Little Rock, Ark.-Governor Brough has appointed a state commission on race relations, with ten white and ten colored members, the governor himself making the old man. This commission meets monthly, or offeren if necessary in the governor's office, to consider causes of inter-racial friction and to find remedies. Dr. J. H. Reynolds, of Hendrix College, is chairman of the commission, which, according to one of the leading Negroes of the state, is doing effective work in diminishing the racial antagonisms which had developed. Several Southern governors have called inter-racial conferences to consider similar matters; and the governor of Illinois has appointed a permanent commission similar to Governor Brough's—one of the many tokens in the activities of both church and state that right solutions of racial problems are being recognized as no longer accessional but national. OKLAHOMA NEGRO GIRL GETS $1,000,000 Estate. She Executes Deed of Trust to Property to Prevent Being Disposed. Muskogee, Okla.—Sarah Rector, 18 years old, is Oklahoma's first Negro millionaire heriess. Fearing an attempt to get possession of the wealth she inherited, the girl voluntarily executed a deed of trust covering all. Two men who have been her guardians will administer her affairs. Execution of the deed of trust probably will quash a petition filed by the girl's mother to have her declared incompetent and for the appointment of a guardian. WILBERFORCE RAISES $80,000 IN ONE DAY. Wilberforce, Ohio—Wilberforce University went "over the top" with its "Victory Rally" last week on Founders' Day by raising $80,000 in one day. This is the largest sum that has ever been raised for education among our people in the history of the race. By the first Sunday in April the sum is expected to be $100,000. Money raised by Districts: 5th Episcopal, Bishop C. S. Rally; $3,500; 4th Episcopal, Bishop L. J. Coppin; $8,000; First Episcopal, Bishop Evans Tyree; nothing; 3rd Episcopal, Bishop Joshus 4.

Bishop Jones, President of the Trustees' Board and presides over the Third District, is responsible for this great awakening among the Methodists. OHIO WOOD FORCES TO SUPPORT RACE MAN FOR DELEGATE. Columbus, Ohio-One of the big political sensations here was the news that Ralph W. Tyler, managing editor of the Cleveland Advocate, had come out for Wood for President. The Harding forces had counted on the support of Tyler and especially the Advocate, but when the Harding managers, with Senator Harding's acquiescence, refused to consider Fred D. Patterson as a candidate for delegate-at-large, Tyler forthwith declared he could not support Harding. Patterson is the well known colored carriage and automobile manufacturer of Greenfield, Ohio. The Wood forces in Ohio will now support Patterson for delegate-at-large. Former Congressman George W. Murray lectured Monday evening at Bethel Church under the auspices of the Bethel Literary Society. His highly interesting and logical subject was, "The Relation of Philosophy and Psychology to the Solution of the Negro Problem." His talk was well worth listening to and it was too bad that he was greeted by such a slim audience. President Sandy W. Trice introduced Maj. John R. Lynch, who in turn presented in eloquent language Mr. Murray, to those assembled. A splendid musical program was rendered for the occasion.

Under Act of March 3, 1879. The property owners of New Orleans spent nearly $4,000,000 in eight months last year in rat-proofing private buildings as a protection against bubonic plague. This expenditure, it may be noted, was compulsory, enforced by the U. S. Public Health officials, and is only a beginning of the assessments which will be imposed by the federal authorities. In addition to the large amount of money to be expended by the citizens in this way, the municipal, state and national governments will also be compelled to spend many millions more before the dangerous and disease carrying rat is wholly exterminated and the always threatened menace of the plague is completely removed. As is well known, rats are destructive to property as well as dangerous spreaders of disease. The rat population of the average American city about equals its human population. It has been estimated that it about $1.50 per rat per year for their maintenance. So it is easy to see the economic burden which a rat population imposes upon the city or town which makes little or no effort to get rid of these dangerous and destructive pests. The people of New Orleans are waging a heroic fight to make it a rattles city. Poisoning, trapping and concrete building construction are the agencies employed; the first two for immediate results and the latter intended, when completed, to solve the problem for all time. This means concrete construction of all foundations and floors of barns, stables, grain and food storage buildings, wharves and docks, warehouses of every kind; in short, all places that furnish harborage for rats and which on account of their uses attract the rodents and suppl ythem with food and sustenance. Chicago is both rat ridden and rat infested. As yet no organized or effective measures have been taken for their extermination. No doubt, if we had the menace of the "black death," as bubonic plague was once called, something would be done along these lines. But so long as people are willing to shoulder, without complaint, the tremendous economic losses every year, Mr. and Mrs. Rat and their numerous and ever increasing progeny will continue to find Chicago a safe and comfortable city in which to live and multiply their kind. ```markdown ``` DOLLARS AND HEALTH A writer in a recent number of the American Journal of Public Health gives as examples of penny wise economy the health budgets of two Illinois towns that are interesting and should be instructive. One of these towns spent in one year for health purposes three cents per capita of its population and suffered money cost during that year due to the communicable diseases of $41.40 per capita. A neighboring city spent five cents more per capita for health work the same year, with money losses, due also to the communicable diseases, of $17.45 per capita. So that an additional expenditure of only five cents per capita resulted in a saving of $2.95 per capita to the people of the city which was willing to, and did, increase expenditures for health protection. You frequently hear a man say, "I am not in business for my health." [Name] HON. GEORGE B. HOLMES. One of the popular and fair Court, who can count his friend of this city, who will stand by for renomination and re-elect One of the popular and fair minded judges of the Municipal Court, who can count his friends by the thousands in all parts of this city, who will stand by him to the last ditch in his race for renomination and re-election to the Municipal bench. Last Monday evening, March 9, Judge George B. Holmes, who is at the present time ably presiding over the Boys' Court of the Municipal Court, was the principal speaker at the monthly meeting of meeting of the Men's Club of the Evangelical Church, Monticello and Belleplaine avenues. Judge Holmes is a very smooth and fluent speaker and his talk was highly interesting as well as edifying to the members and friends of that Club and Church. Judge Holmes is one of the most popular judges of the Municipal Court, is fast becoming extensively known in all parts of this city and it is a pleasure to state, that he can count his friends by the thousands among all classes of his fellow citizens. Well, he should be, for, if he loses his health on account of his business, the money generally goes with it. 8TH REGIMENT NOTES The following new appointments of officers have just been made: To be Captain—1st Lieutenant Harry L.

ADDRESS THE COMMUNICATIONS THE MUSIC CABINET. 6450 CHAMPLAIN AVE., CHICAGO, ILLINOIS. FOLK MUSIC As for back as we may go in the history of European civilization, we finishes of the use of song in common life. The same instinct for musics expression that is universal among un civilized men, persists in civilized conditions. Song springs forth spontaneously as the voice of the ordinary sentiments of domestic and communal life, embodying the feelings belong to what ever occupies man's interest with intensity. It beguiles labor and loneliness, and enlivenes all social festivity. It gives outlet to exuberant vitality and brings to light that love for the beautiful and the ideal that is latent in healthy natures. It passes over readily into dancing—the rhythm and motion of the voice fitting closely with expressive movements of the body. It also turns easily to the use of what over instruments the singer's wit suffices to fashion. Folk music tends to associate itself with several lines of effort that in more highly developed conditions are quite distinct from music. It is always related to rudimentary literature of every kind. It is apt to reflect vivid religious beliefs and superstitions and practices. Folk music has been more notable at certain times than at others and among certain peoples. In the later Middle Ages among such racial groups as the Kelts, Teutons and some others the interest in popular songs and dances was so widespread that formal music was finally forced to reckon with it. This medieval influence became important as the 16th century approached and continued potent long afterward. The various branches of the Keltic stock have been always musical. This influence has been strong in France from the Troubadour time and to it is to be attributed some part of the French capacity for gay, piquant and brilliant song and dance that has been notable since the 14th century. In Wales, Ireland and Scotland, the interference of formal styles has been so slight, or so long delayed that extensive literature of folk music have accumulated and have been highly valued. Just what relation this has to the history of English music is not clear, but that it has been a useful factor can hardly be doubted. Still more important is the gift of folk music among the Germans. The healthy sturdiness of the ancient Teuton—virile, assertive, masterful, yet also tender, reflective and religious—continued for centuries to express itself in every sort of music with earnestness and grace that have become proverbial. This was the soil in which the Minnesinger flourished. This gave character to the first German experiments in counterpoint. This determined the form of music of the Reformation. Even now, in spite of the pervalence everywhere of more artistic forms, the peasantry in Germany and Switzerland and the Tyrol continued to cherish songs and dances that are full of artless charm. The value of this to the geacurl art of music cannot be computed. That which distinguishes folk music is its essential naivete. Its production is unconsecious, unstudied, unfettered by rules. Although particular specimens often require a precise and permanent shape they can seldom be traced to an individual author, and their preservation does not depend upon any process of transcription. They seem to spring up by common consent, to be perfected by common effort, and to persist by mere tradition. Avenue Theatre Signs New Wage Scale With the signing of the new wage scale by the management of the Avenue Theatre, a matter that has been pending some time is now settled, and the Chicago theatres of the Second Ward go on record as being fully organized. Mr. Weinberg of the Avenue met a committee on Tuesday and by Friday all matters had been agreed upon and the contract placed on file. Mr. Swift, the new President of Local No. 208, A. F. M., has been doing some efficient work since his short term in office, and his administration bids fair to a successful year. It will be remembered that this band of musicians, just two years ago, under the presidency of Mr. George Smith undertook the purchase of the building which they now occupy at 3934 S. State street, and have paid more than half of the purchase price. The organization numbers about 350 members including a number of ladies, several of whom joined this week, which face another step forward in organization. Regular meetings of the Local are held the first Sunday of each month at the headquarters. Choruses and organizations in need of rehearsal halls are invited to avail themselves of the spacious third floor. Visiting musicians are always welcome to the parlox and club rooms. Eigh Lights on the N. A. N. M. The National Association of Negro Musicians is giving serious thought to the educational possibilities in music among the Negroes; methods for the systematic education of the public to the broader significance and true appreciation of Negro music. Do you believe that the Negro o has a vital contribution to make to art? Do you believe that the time is not far distant when our composers will utilize Negro themes and Negro harmonies in the larger sense of composition, such as the concerto, the symphony or even the opera? Negro music represents a phase of folk music as distinctive as that of the Russian, and is capable of more varied treatment and development. We must educate up to an appreciation of all this and be brought to realize the study of music to be a necessity. Music as a major subject in our colleges must be urged, with special scholarships for the deserving. Parents must be prevailed upon to permit the talented children to take up the study of music as a profession. Musicians themselves, should gain fresh incentive for the study of research in the field of Negro music, and steps taken in this direction for the preservation of the old melodies, as a basis for new music. Co-operative with the N. A. N. M. which will hold its second convention in New York in July. Charter memberships have been extended to that time. Mr. T. Theodore Taylor, pianist, will go East the last of March to join Mr. George Johnson, tenor, and together they will tour the East giving joint recitals. Mr. Albert H. Jones, clarinetist, of Evanston, has been elected directtor of the Dunbar Choral Society of Maywood, Ill. Mr. Robert Austin, of St. Louis, Mo., has been appointed Musical Director of Olivet Baptist Church. SPECIAL NOTICE The second article on Folk Music will appear in the next issue of this paper. HEALTH WEEK FOR THE COLORED PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES. Tuskegee, Inst., Ala.—Realizing the vital importance of the value of the conservation of Negro Health, especially at a time when conditions created by the World War have put man power at a premium, the National Health Week to be held from April 4 to 10 is being enthusiastically stressed notably throughout the Southern States. F. R. Farwell, lecturer to Negroes Texas Public Health Association, a constructive agency to reduce the mortality rate among all people living in Texas, says that this association will heartily co-operate to make Negro Health Week an epocalyptic step forward to combat the physical ills affecting the Negro. Such organizations as the Medical associations of the country and other uplifting agencies realize that the National Negro Health Week is pregnant with wonderful possibilities for the successful combating of those diseases which are exacting such heavy toll among Negroes. Since this sNational event is to be observed annually, during the week of the anniversary of the birth of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington, its founder, it is apparent that every Negro and Negro organization should appreciate the necessity for an immediate, active and virile campaign such as is being promoted. Everyone interested in having a healthy environment should help to contribute to the effectiveness and progress of the race by making the observance of Health Week a vigorous attack against all unsanitary conditions which breed sickness as well as against those preventable diseases which are wrecking the lives of so many of our people. The dangers of polluted wells and springs, overcrowded bed rooms and other things known to be decreasing the economic efficiency of Negroes should be brought out in a striking manner in lectures by ministers, teachers, physicians and other leaders. It is suggested that as in previous years there be appointed in each community a Clean Up Committee to arrange a program for Health Week. It is suggested that Sunday, April 4th be Health Sunday and that on [Name not provided] HON. C.

It is suggested that during the remainder of the week the homes and yards receive attention. Robert R.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY NEWS NOTES Quarter of a Million Dollars Appropriated for Negro Medical Education. Washington, D. C.—(Special to The Broad Ax)—At its meeting held in New York City, Thursday February 20th the General Education Board, founded by John D Rockefeller, appropriated $250,000,000 toward an endowment fund of at least $500,000,00 to be used by Howard University for medical education "the income from the appropriation to be made available pending completion of the full amount." The Howard University Medical School is the only Class "A" medical institution for the training of Negro physicians, dentists, and pharmacists in the country. Its students have free access for instruction to Freedmen's Hospital, supported by the government, which is the largest and most important hospital for Negroes in the world.

Howard University Officers, Students and Alumni Render Annual Program Under Auspices of Famous Bethel Literary and Historical Society. The Dunbar High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School will also render an educational program under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association at its next meeting. LEAGUE OF COLORED REPUB-LICAN CLUBS OF ILLINOIS. Springfield, Ill.—(Special to The Broad Ax)—The Regular State Or- Washington, D. C.-The famous Bethel Literary and Historical Association each year invites the officers, teachers, students and alumni of Howard University to celebrate "Howard University Night" as a regular program feature. The meeting for this year was held Tuesday, February 24, 1920, in the presence of an inspiring and representative audience of Washington people who gathered to listen to a discussion of the general subject, "Howard University and the New Day." The University Glee Club and Orchestra, under the direction of Professor Roy W. Tibbs, rendered musical numbers which were warmly received, while addresses were made by Mr. William S. Nelson, Class of 1920, who spoke on the subject, "The Howard University Student Body," and Dean D. Butler Pratt, representing the School of Religion. The School of Medicine and the School of Law were represented by two graduates of wide experience and fame in their professions, namely, Dr. E. D. Willister, Washington, D. C., Class of 1894, representing the School of Religions, and W. Ashibe Hawkins, Esquire, Baltimore, Maryland, Class of 1892, representing the School of Law. President J. Stanley Durkee spoke upon the general subject, "The University's New Program," and set forth in full detail the great work which the University is undertaking. He not only referred to the warm cooperating of officers, teachers and students in the matter of a unified University, but of the outlook for large appropriations from Congress and from the Interchurch World Movement which will permit the University to realize the ideals of its founders. All of the addresses were warmly received and contributed greatly, with the musical numbers, to the success of an enjoyable evening MR. MORRIS LEWIS. The wide awake secretary of the People's Movement within the Republican Party in the Second Ward and one of the leading candidates for the legislature from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois. The Dunbar High School and the Armstrong Manual Training School will also render an educational program under the auspices of the Bethel Literary and Historical Association at its next meeting.

After a strenuous campaign south, Dr.Franklin Bray, the Rocky Mountain Evangelist, returned to his home at 446 Bowen avenue, on Wednesday and leaves today for the west, where he will be engaged in revival meetings until the first of June. Dr. Bray reports nearly a thousand conversions in the last three months. CHIPS Attorney Walter M. Farmer, 184 W.

T. Bailey, 3638 State street, pres., Bailey Realty Co., spent much time in suburbs last week conferring with contractors and owners of subdivisions, trying to help the many people who want to build immediately. Prof. Z. W. Mitchell, of Springfield, secretary of the Co-operative Educational System with headquarters in Springfield, is guest at the home of Dr. Franklin Bray, 446 Bowen avenue. Diligence: Our word, diligence, is from the Latin, "diligencia." It means the quality of being diligent; interested and persevering application; devoted and painstaking effort to accomplish what is undertaken; assiduous industry; careful attention. Industry has the wider sense of the two words, implying an habitual devotion to labor for some valuable end, as knowledge or property. Diligence denotes earnest application to some specific object or pursuit which more or less directly has a strong hold on one's interest or feelings. THE BROAD AX. CHICAGO. MARCH 13. 1920 No-Mistake Check A California man is the patentee of a baggage check made in two parts, which must be placed together to form its number, preventing mistakes caused by checks with similar numbers. Sleep All Winter Long When raccoons sleep away the cold snake in the winter, says the American Forestry magazine of Washington, it is not an uncommon thing to find a whole family, or maybe several families, curled up together in the hollow of some big tree. Something Like a Memory. Billie w's heard to say to his pal Jack: "I can remember everything I did since I was three weeks old." After some hesitation Jack replied: "Oh, that's nothing. I can remember from the time the doctor said to me: 'Stand up, Sonny, and have your eyes put in.'" Leather-Stocking. Leather-Stocking is the nickname of Natty Bumppo, one of the favorite characters drawn by the American writer of Indian and sea tales, James Fenimore Cooper. The bearer of the nickname is a half-savage. half-Christian chevalier of American wild life of almost a century and a quarter ago. Leather-Stocking reappears and closes his career in Cooper's story, "The Prairie." Remarkable Flight of Pigeon. A homing pigeon bearing the name of Ben Bolt was announced as having established a new long-distance flight recr 'r' of 2,200 miles in the summer of 1915, from Norwalk, Ohio, to Los Angeles, Cal. The bird made the trip in five days nine hours and thirty-one minutes, arriving at Los Angeles August 30. Lighthouse Apparatus of Metal Lighthouse Apparatus of Metal. The optical apparatus of the light house of Galta, an island off the coast of Tunis, is entirely of metal. The great parabolic reflector, the largest metallic mirror in any lighthouse, is of gilded bronze 7 feet 5 inches in diameter, with a focal length of 26 inches, and its 202,000 candle power flash can usually be seen 30 miles at sea. Fil. ino Wife's Status In the Philippine islands, when women marry, they go into partnership with their husbands. While the men handle the workers, the women attend to the finance, act as cashiers, pay the workers and oversee much of .e business. They also have equality with the men in everything except voting. Firms and Families A firm is like a family—it isOUND together by mutual interests. Just as families quarrel and ruin their homes, so the members of a firm may quarrel and ruin their wages and profits. But a normal family does not quarrel. It develops a family feeling, and all combine to protect each other. Chinese in Java The standard of living is probably higher in Java than any other Chinese community in the world. The houses are clean and well furnished, the people dress in European clothing, and every one has a great deal to say about dirt and sanitation. There are Chinese families in Java which have been there for five centuries, but the great majority of the 300,000 who live on the island have come there or are descended from those who came there in the last fifty years. Building Character It's folly to build with neutral materials. Character demands touch with God and co-operation with one's fellows. There may be some with desire to be considered clever who dare to assume positions that throw them into the limelight and the ridiculous. They may conjure up cute-sounding phrases trimmed to capture itching ears without giving a thought to what real meaning they may convey. It's dangerous to vent wholesale disaster upon those of other faiths. If men be given to folly it's your part to lead them to the truth.-Grit. Panama Canal Zone. The United States did not acquire by the I. uman canal convention of November 18, 1903, any title to territory in the Republic of Panama, but merely a perpetual right of occupation, use, and control over a zone of land ten miles in width, and covering an area of 4,36 square miles. For this $^{pr1}$ it id to Panama the sum of $10,000, 70, and undertook to pay the sum of $250,000 annually so long as such occupancy continued. These payments began February 26, 1913. Scottish Center of Industry Dundee ranks as one of the leading industrii.. a'd commercial centers in northwestern and central Scotland. The district of Dundee is the center of the jute industry in the United Kingdom and practically all the raw jute imported into the country, which averages 1,200,000 bales annually, is consumed there. It is the staple industry of Dundee and employs normally about 35,000 workers. Indians and Japanese. Professor Mena, Mexican scientist, went to Tehuacan in 1903 to investigate a story that in small towns near by Chinese talked in their own tongue to the Indians and were perfectly understood. He found the legend false. Japanese scholars visiting the Mexican museum have been surprised to find articles used by the Indians exactly the same as those used by Japanese peasants. Stare of "Dipper." The stars of the "little dipper" are all constantly moving at tremendous velocities and mostly in different directions, say astronomers, but so vast is their distance from us that they have not changed their relative positions to any appreciable extent within the memory of man. Value of Failure. I pity the man who has no failures to his credit, whose way has been smooth and prosperous from beginning to end, because such a man is likely to be riding to the only tragic failure there is—that of life itself. The thing that most often tends to poverty is the thing we call success. If one's failures have been honestly achieved by hard and long-continued effort, they become highly useful and convincing—Irving Baccheller. Soap Bubbles A mixture of castle soap, glycerin and ammonia with rain water or distilled water, gives a bubble that can be blown very thin and will last a long time before bursting. For especially good results make the mixture three days before it is to be used. Cling to Savage Customs. Throughout the islands of the New Hebrides many of the primitive ceremonies are still performed. The "sing sing" ground is still kept in readiness for the periodical outbursts of feeling, when the islander dances his wild and sacred dances to the ghastly music of the drums. Watching one of these weird revels followed by an orgy of eating, or more correctly stuffing, it seems to the observer that the New Hebrides race is destined to continue until it dies out a savage, or at best, semi-civilized people. The Buay Househusband. Probably no other system will ever be devised for losing long and valuable lead pencils out of one's waistcoat pocket which will quite equal for efficiency shaking down the furnace.—Ohio State Journal. Wanted Blame Properly Placed Wanted Brian Place. Rosemary, aged four, and her twin sisters, aged two, were left in the care of a friend who also had three children of about the same ages. During the afternoon the friend heard one of the children in her pantry and, thinking to frighten the child out of the pantry without going in, said: "I hear some one in my pantry." Rosemary quickly walked over to her and said: "It's not any of ours; it's one of your own." Twentieth Century The first century comprised the years 1 to 100 inclusive; the second century, the years 101 to 200 inclusive, and so on to the twentieth century, which is the period beginning with 1901 and extending to the year 2001 Oddities of Chinese Market Day Market day in China usually affords many quaint sights to the foreigner. As the country is one largely devoid of vehicles, the commodities to be offered for sale are carried to the market places in many odd ways; by wheelbarrow, on manback, poised on the heads of women, or swung to a pole borne on the shoulders of two carriers. The Cynic. A cynic is in many instances a super-idealist who believes the world could be perfect by rectifying a few slight errors which he takes the trouble to point out. Josephine's Horoscope Is there such a thing as seeing into the future? Yes. Here is one of the many testimonials to the solemn gift: When the Empress Josephine of France was a girl in Martinique, an old colored woman, named Eupheulia, "told her fortune." "You will marry a fair man. Your star promise+ two alliances. With your first husband you will have a tragical lawsuit. Your second husband, a dark man of slander means, will fill the world with his fame and glory. You will be greater than 'queen.' You will die unhappy." The entire prediction came true. For State Builders They who preach patience to the peoples as the sole remedy for the lills by which they are oppressed, or who, while they admit the necessity of a contest, would yet leave the initiative to be taken by their rulers, do not, to my thinking, understand the state of things coming upon us. . . It is not enough to precipitate a monarchy into a gulf; the gulf must be closed up, and a durable edifice erected on its site—From "Faith and the Future," by Mazzini. Snowstorms Form in Warm Climates. Potentially snow storms form in general region of warmth, strange as it may seem. The area of low barometric pressure, or storm sea, comes whirling eastward across the Gulf states and then generally takes a twist northward along the Atlantic seaboard. When sufficiently far north these warm air currents are chilled and the moisture becomes snow, very often being borne to the earth by the back draft of east wind. Character Revelation Not merely speeches prepared, omitions delivered, sermons preached, but what a man says and how he says it to his neighbors friend, to his acquaintance or customer, to his father or mother, his wife or child across the breakfast table; this is what counts, for it reveals him off his guard and taken unawares, not as he would wish to be, not even as he would wish to be, to be, as he actually is, and it marks him with an indelible mark.—Exchange LEONARD WOOD For President of the United States Do you want a man of his or Help show the sentiment of Presidential preference primary Please sign this coupon and Name ...

The French cooks could never get in line with the American breakfast which was demanded by the American soldiers and others from this country who were called to France during the war. The French breakfast consists of a roll and coffee, while the American demanded eggs and bacon as well. It surprised me to find on investigation that "touching wood" as supposed safeguard from the consequences of ejection or heating is a superstition of ancient origin. Authorities on these mythological matters tell us that "it dates from the time when the oak, the ash, the rowan (or mountain ash) were held sacred to the gods of the heathen." On the 5th of February, in 1631, Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island, arrived at Boston. He was the first advocate and leader among the Puritans for the principle of religious toleration. In the early days of the fire insurance business each company in London maintained its own fire brigade. In those days a citizen might go out into the street and shout "Fire!" as loudly as he liked, but unless he had paid his insur- ce premium no fireman would lift his finger or a bucket to save his possessions from burning. Still, we must not get rid of too much red. It would be horrible living in an atmosphere of unbroken, pale gray conventionality.-Chicago News. In the Indian ocean is a curiosity called the "drum fish," which the isl and fishermen of the Seychelles, Amirantes, etc., often take with hand lines and which is highly esteemed as an article of food; it has earned its name from its habit of making a booning noise when pursuing or pursued; in size and taste it is not unlike the cod. An amateur farmer answered an advertisement headed "A Sure Way to Make Hens Lay." This is what he got for his money: "The a stout string around the hen's body, place the bird on her side on a board and fasten the string underneath. If it is thought desirable, a pillow may be placed under the hen's head."—Boston Transcript. It is just about impossible to say where the largest organ in the world is, because t e e is always one being built that is bigger than the last. There are many large organs in England, and in the United States. Sydney, Australia, claimed, some years ago, to have the largest organ in the world, but, like ships, they are always increasing in size. A mathematician says there is no difference in area or quantity of surface between a foot square and a square foot, but there may be a difference in shape. A foot square must be a rectangular surface having four equal sides, measuring one foot long each. A square foot may also be a foot square, but it may be irregular in shape, say six inches wide and two feet long, or any shape so long as the area is equal to 144 square inches. The peanut is a member of the pea family and the "nut" is more accurately described as a pod. It is grown from seed in many tropical and subtropical lands, a long warm season being necessary for its maturity. It flowers above ground, then the stem bends downwards, the young pod enters the soil and there matures. No roots are ever attached to the nut; the fibers, mistaken for them, are from the stem.

The cure of fear will have begun when realization comes that worry is economically and otherwise unprofitable. Many a neurasthenic has been cured by learning to drive an automobile, to ride a horse, to swim, or by accustoming himself to great heights, in such ways sustaining courage for fear. Hundreds of treasured cameos and intaglios, for which large sums have been paid, are spurious, although many of them are masterpieces of art. To such an extent have cameos been forged that, after a certain French count had spent $25,000 in forming a collection, so many forgeries were found among them that, in despair of separating the false from the true, he parted with the lot for a fraction of what they had cost him. Read Ruskin Occasionally A goat is derided for eating newspapers, yet many a man feeds his mind on nothing else. The simplest of all invisible inks is milk or, better still, buttermilk. If used with a perfectly clean new pen and on unglazed paper, it will not show. The easiest way to bring it out is to iron it with a hot flairon. Grandmother Used Mustard Blisters To Relieve Con- gested Conditions Grandmother also walked to town I she wished to do any shopping. Do you wish to return to Grandma's apartment or to take a card. This comparison is brought before you for the simple purpose of illustrating why people that are up to date with MINTOL in to using mustard plasters and smelly mustard creams. For colds in the head, catarrah, grip, bronchitis or pneumonia simply apply a hot, wet towel to the throat and MINTOL, rubbing thoroughly in for five minutes and cover the parts with a hot, dry flannel, so arranged as to allow the MINTOL to be inhaled. This treatment will be found as much an improvement over the old-fashioned pollen-colored creams as elkhedra is over walking. NOTICE:—MINTOL is the latest scientific discovery for the treatment of a congestive heart failure such occur in Spanish Influenza, Grip Pneumonia and Bronchial affections. It kills the influenza and Grip germ and acts as antiviral in infant inflamed throat or nostrils. For hoarseness, a little of the MINTOL applied to the back of the tongue will give instant relief.

Southeast Corner 36th Place and State Street, Chicago Remarkable Meteor. Numerous observations of the brilliant meteor seen in the early evening of October 21, 1919, show that it had the long horizontal flight of 385 miles from over a point of twenty miles northeast of York, England, to thirty miles southwest of St. Valery, France, according to the Scientific American. It traveled at a speed of about thirty-three miles a second and its average altitude was seventy-four miles. $200 Down 200 Down Gas Range Gas Water He Radiantfir A Big Purchase of a Manufacturer's Entire Stock of Gas Appliances Enables Us to Offer Attractive Bargains to Customers.

PRICE OF EACH 25¢ IN STAMPS OR COIN AGENTS WANTED. EVERYWHERE EXELENTO MEDICINE COL., Atlanta, Ga. --- THE BROAD AX, CHICAGO; MARCH 18, 1920 Chamelicons' Food. The proper diet of chameleons and lizards consists of flies and other insects; also meal worms, and the common idea that sugar and water will serve in winter is incorrect. A good many of these animals refuse food in the winter months and all of them need warmth and sunshine, as well as water. They are difficult to keep in health, and if not given their natural food will starve to death in time, though their ability to fast for long periods is well known. Soilitudes of the Earth. The Bushmanland desert, in southwest Africa, is but little known. A few nomads—some of European and some of mixed descent—hang on its fringe. Here and there mat-house villages, whose dwellers depend on the sparse bounty of the sky, will perhaps be found for a season. Otherwise it is a barren desert of 50,000 square miles.

When a man has no longer any conception of excellence above his own, his voyage is done, he is dead.—Beecher. Lumberjack's Appetite. We heard some time ago that the managers of the lumber camps had decided to refuse free feeds to the vagrant lumberjacks, drifting from camp to camp, but not till we saw a lumberjack eat did we understand the fine impulse that led to the decision. After eating his fill, if one of the fellows should try to push his way down a logging road, he would get stuck between the trees and probably stay there until he starved.—Detroit News.

The dog is not only a social animal, but has the rudiments, at least, of altruism. I once saw a de jump into a river and swim down to another and younger dog, which had been swept along by the current and who was trying in vain to make a landing where the bank was steep and slippery. At every attempt his claws slipped; he was losing his head; he was growing weak. The older dog pushed him downstream to a safe landing then went on about his business, as if it were a mere detail.—American Magazine. on Blank and Mail it to $1.00 FOR 6 MONTHS. $2.00 PER YEAR. e enter my name as a subscriber therewith Two Dollars, the annual dollar for six months.
