ALDERMAN JAMES B. BOWLER, CHAIRMAN OF THE SUB-COMMITTEE OF THE FIFTY WARD PLAN States, that the Colored Population on the South Side are Entitled to Two Colored Aldermen, Two Wards, Two Ward Committeemen and that He Is in Favor of Giving the Colored People a Square Deal THE HEAD OFFICIALS OF THE KENWOOD AND HYDE PARK PROPERTY OWNERS ASSOCIATIONS ARE ENDEAVORING TO INDUCE SOME OF THE PROMIENT WHITE REPUBLICANS WHO STAND CLOSE TO MAYOR WILLIAM HALE THOMPSON TO ENTER INTO A DIABOLICAL AND FAR REACHING SCHEME TO "JIM CROW" OR SEGREGRTE ALL THE COLORED PEOPLE ON THE SOUTH SIDE INTO ONE WARD OR DISTRICT AND TO DRAW THE DEAD LINE FOR THEM AT THIRTY-NINTH STREET. ONE PROMINENT WHITE WOMAN DEFENDS THE HONOR OF COLORED MEN. SHE CONTENDS THAT WHITE MEN ALWAYS WANT TO BE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE LOVE TO COLLORED WOMEN AND FILL THIS FAIR LAND WITH MULATTOES AND BASTARD CHILDREN. When is comes to understanding unquestioned propaganda of justice, a white woman signed herself "Miss press ourselves publicly on this question. Of course! I am intelligent enough IT MAY NOT BE OUT OF PLACE TO REMIND THOSE WHO ARE IN FAVOR OF SUCH A COLD-BLOODED SCHEME, THAT NOTHING BUT AN OLD-TIME FLOOD OR EARTHQUAKE CAN EVER PREVENT THE COLORED PEOPLE FROM PRACTICALLY OCCUPYING ALL OF THE TERRITORY FROM TWENTY-SECOND STREET ON THE NORTH, TO SIXTY-THIRD STREET ON THE SOUTH AND FROM WENTWORTH AVENUE ON THE WEST, CLEAR EAST TO LAKE MICHIGAN. Alderman Robert R. Jackson, Grand Major General of the Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias throughout the world, will put up a stiff or game fight in order to prevent the colored people from being Jim Crowed, or segregated, in the new Second and Third Wards. The fifty-ward plan which for some time has been uppermost in the minds of the City Fathers has worked on the minds of many members of the City Council and has got their goat to such an extent that they do not know whether they are afoot or horseback and many of the small fry politicians feel that if their Alderman is sidetracked in various wards, that they will be left hanging high and dry out in the cold as the movement progresses to cut or reduce the wards in this city from seventy to fifty and one alderman to each ward who will pull down five thousand dollars each year for two years for his services. The excitement continues to run high along that line among the big colored politicians residing in the 2nd Ward or on the south side, it is contended that Col. Oscar De Priest who has walked head foremost into a big barrel of real easy money since he has refrained from fighting Mayor William Hale Thompson who no doubt will clean up several hundred thousand dollars in fees and commissions as one of the real estate experts who will pess upon the value of the property along on South Park avenue which is to be condemn in order to widen that avenue, and later on Col. De Priest may become one of the election commissioners. Hon. Edward H. Wright and Alderman Louis B. Anderson who is the Thompson floor leader in the City Council and Alderman Robert R. Jackson have come to the final cross road or the parting of the way, that it is mighty hard for them to find a political bed on the south side near large enough to hold those four high up statesmen or the political rulers over all the colored people residing in Chicago. It seems that some of the big white Republicans residing in the 2nd and 3rd Wards who stand close up by the side of Mayor William Hale Thompson are willing to join in any movement which will assist to run Alderman Jackson into cold storage or into his political grave for the next ten years. Those same big white Republicans who have in the past and at the present time rode into good fat positions by virtue of the votes of colored people residing around and about them are now willing to link hands with the head officials of the Kenwood and Hyde Park Property Owners Ass's in a diabolical effort to confine or segregate or "Jim Crow" the colored people all in one ward, that the dead deviling line must be at 90th street and THE BROAD AX that Alderman Robert R. Jackson must be driven from the City Council so as to make room for another white Alderman and a white Republican Ward Committeeman. Alderman Jackson states that he wants the whole world to know that he is for his race first, last and all the time and that he is willing to die politically and otherwise while fighting for the civil and political rights and all other rights which naturally belong to them as true and Loyal American citizens. Alderman James B. Bowlet, who is one of the high priests of the Democratic party on the west side, who has for a number of years been one of the very best Alderman that has ever represented the 19th Ward in the City Council, who has always been friendly to worthy colored people and as the fair or broad-minded chairman of the sub-committee of the City Council of the fifty-ward plan, Alderman Bowler states that he is in favor of planning two wards for the colored people as they are clearly entitled to that number of wards according to their population; that they should have two colored Alderman and two colored ward committeemen; that as far as it lies in his power he wants the colored people of Chicago to have a square deal; that Alderman Robert R. Jackson always conducts himself like a high class gentleman, that he stands very high in the estimation of all the City Fathers and that there is no power on this broad earth that can prevent him from extending a square deal to Alderman Robert R. Jackson. WHITE WOMAN KILLS BOB ANDERSON OF PEPIN Bob Anderson, colored, formerly doorman of the Pekin Cafe, and involved in the shooting of two detective sergeants, was killed Sunday by Cloc Weir, white woman, 31 E. Twenty-eight street. The woman was arrested by Detective Sergeants Dunman, McDermott and Blagburn of the Cottage Grave avenue station, who say jealousy was the motive. Miss Weir did not want Bob Anderson to make love to a fine looking colored woman and spend his money on her; for Miss Weir wanted Bob Anderson all to herself all the time.

HUMAN RIGHTS. Lawyer Edward H. Morris has written his name upon the imperishable parchment of the Constitution of Illinois and in so doing has rendered a service to his race unparalleled by any act of any Negro of modern epochs. The great significance and meaning of human equality in so far as it reaches down to lift up, and make unafraid the humblest citizen of the great state which Lincoln made sacred, whose soil embosses his great colossal frame for all time, cannot be held cheaply by scorn and laughing lips, nor fumbled and bungled to suit the whims of prejudice, nor renegade, debauches of crooked politics. Jersey City, N. J.—Sensational testimony regarding alleged incidents in the "phk room" at the home of Mrs. Frances Sargent, a wealthy white woman, at 4 Kensington avenue, of this city, was given Tuesday in the trial before Vice-Chancellor Fielder in Newark of the divorce action of Donald J. Sargent, head of the Sargent Transportation Company. Sargent charged his wife with indiscretions with Charles Simmons, their colored chauffer, and instituted the suit after a raid at his home on July 11, 1919. Mr. Morris, the shrewd lawyer, the able jurist, the builder of legal lore, the constructionist of judicial statutes has in a word smothered the simpleton whose eyes lead only to a white skin, whose mind runs to impudent and importent disregard of human rights, and whose spirit delights only in the conceit and selflessness of human misfits who mistake bluff and bulldozing for bravery, and find themselves applauded by the mob, hell bent on every form of duplicity and deviltry. Human rights which Lineolin died-to make sacred, for which Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Chas, Sumner, Elijah Lovejoy, Wendell Phillips, Henry Ward Beecher, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman and Sojaearner Truth gave all their treasure at the flood-tide, and at the zenith of their intellectual grandeur, are not to be laughed-down by the infamy of The Chicago Tribune love to a colored man belonging to the inferior race.—Editor. IMPORTANT RESOLUTIONS BY METROPOLITAN CENTER LYCEUM AFTER ADDRESS BY COUNGRESSMAN MARTIN B. MADDEN The second meeting of the Metropolitan Center Lyceum was held at Wendell Phillips High School Sunday, Nov. 7. After an excellent address by Congressman Martin B. Madden, the following resolutions offered by Mrs. Ida B. Wolls Barnett were unanimously adopted. Resolved that the overwhelming victory of the Republican party at the polls last Tuesday made possible by the unanimous vote of the Negro race throughout this country, was marred by the burning and lynching of men nor any of its "wrong side" forces. Lawyer Edward H. Morris has done a work for men and women of his race that will give him imperishable honor, and reknown. He has made a place for his name on the scroll of Fane high up along with the great martyrs of humanity's cause in all the ages of the past. In future years, if not in the living present, men will stop for a moment, and a breath space to pay a fitting reverence to his great achievements for mankind. We may not at this time comprehend the collassal deed he has performed, mayhaps in after years the youths of his race generations to come will ring their clarion voices in irrepressible eloquence the name of Edward H. Morris the great lawyer who wrote the true definition to human rights. our people in every section of this country to make similar demands of the men that we helped to elect to this Republican Congress and that we pledge ourselves to organize our forces to work for the political freedom of our brothers and sisters in the south. ONE PROMINENT WHITE WOMAN DEFENDS THE HONOR OF COLORED MEN. SHE CONTENDS THAT WHITE MEN ALWAYS WANT TO BE A LAW UNTO THEMSELVES SO THAT THEY CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE LOVE TO COLLORED WOMEN AND FILL THIS FAIR LAND WITH MULATTOES AND BASTARD CHILDREN. When is comes to understanding unquestioned propaganda of justice, a white woman signed herself "Miss Critical Observer," put the following story in the right place. In the Daily Baltimore American, she says: press ourselves publicly on this question. Of course! I am intelligent enough to know the reason for this denunciation of the colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap wide as possible between the white woman and American white women for decades have been blindfolded and duped as to the colored man. The colored man has been held up before our eyes as lustfu and vicious creatures. As a consequence, great masses of us, thru lack of individual experience and because of ignorance of literature and statistics, bearing on the truth of the case, have come to believe the unwarranted, un founded charge against the colored man as a class. But the undeniable rockbottom truth is that the Negrim men are no more prone to comminbeous crimes against women than ar other men. If there be any who doubt the truth of this statement let them make a comparative study of the statistics bearing on lecherous crimes against women and their doubts will vanish. The result of the comparison will be in favor of the colored man. If I were to publish the figures I have on my desk I would startle my readers. Colored men in other countries such as Canada, Central America, South America, West Indies and Africa are not pictured as the arch assailants of women. In fact, it is said that the attitude of the native African toward women is superior in point of decency to that of the men in the most highly cultured countries. When I am told that the colored man is so hustfully inclined, I ask why it is that there are 4,000,000 mulattoes in the United States and that this number yearly increases. White men tremble before this question. They know they are responsible Yet many of them are always telling us women about "Negro brutes" and "Negro rapists." In the South, my native home, where there is the loudest ery about "face separation and white purity" the greatest mingling of white men and colored women takes place. The South is the garden spot of mulattoes. It must not be assumed that white women will always remain ignorant of or indifferent to this fact. Many of us are wide awake and are thinking although only a few of us dare to ex- Hon. Walthall M. Moore - has the honor of being the first colored man to be elected to the Legislature in Missouri. In the final count it is predicted that aside from Hon. S. B. Turner, that Hon. A. H. Roberts, Warren B. Douglas and Morris Lewis will be elected to the Legislature from the Third Senatorial District of Illinois. Hon. J. H. Ryan, Editor of Ryan's weekly newspaper, Tacoma, Wash., ran on the Labor-Farmer Party Ticket and despite the old cry "Nigger Nigger" never dies, bright face and shiny eyes, Editor Ryan held his ground and he is the very first colored man to be elected to the Legislature in the State of Washington.

Mrs. Lydia Johnson of 4420 Prairie avenue, was called to the bedside of her brother at Kalamazoo, Mich. press ourselves publicly on this question. Of course! I am intelligent enough to know the reason for this denunciation of the colored man. One of the objects is to keep the gap wide as possible between the white woman and the colored man. But why is there little or no effort to widen the gap between the white man and colored woman? Why are our men not punished for intimate relations with colored women? No! This would interfere with white men's social freedom. Yet, they arrogate unto themselves the role of supreme dictator as to the race or color of men with whom we must or must not mingle, while they will brook no interference as to the race or color of women with whom they mingle and become intimate. With all the emphasis at my command I affirm that the colored man is not the unworthy creature that the press, platform, pulpit and the movies have pictured him to be. The veil of illusion is being gradually removed from white women's eyes.[17] The colored men in the South must be taught this one great fundamental truth namely that cowards die many times before their deaths, that the valiant never tastes of death but once, that it is far more noble to die bravely fighting to defend their wives daughters and other loved ones from the lustful embraces of deprived white gentlemen who entertain the fallecious idea that they own all of the earth and the high heavens and that they have the moral right to appropriate unto themselves and debauch all the females belonging to his own race and all the females belonging to the colored race and then same white gentlemen are ever ready to transform themselves into madened hellhounds and mob, lynch and burn at the stake any colored man who may happen to look cross eyed at any white woman it makes not the slightest difference how low down in the scale of humanity she may be. The time may come in this country when colored men will be forced to wing one thousand white gentlemen each day and send them on to heaven in order to teach them that they must refrain from making love to colored women—Editor.

THE BROAD AX HALL OF FAME Mr. Lawrence Ferrebee is a lawyer and a man of progressive temperament, a good fellow to know, and who by the way has lots of friends who think much of him. We have long counted him among the dozen or two of Chicago's wide awake spirits of prominence and action. Mr. Funstin S. Delaney, a young lawyer of courage and grit who is forcing his way to the front ranks.

Mr. Woodlee has long been active in the progress and development of our people and we have no doubt that with his ability and personality he will win his place a way up at the front as a lawyer. Congenial, friendly, and ambitious to be liked by everyone, he has become a man in our midst to be seriously considered. Dr George M. Porter for many years has had a very warm place in the writer's heart. His very nature commends itself to every one who meets him. In success George remains the same kind hearted, jovial fellow that we like to count as friend. George is a druggist and he is doing things. Mr. Henry Davis Middleton is a man with remarkable literary power. He is a scholar and can write stories that are so true to life that you fancy you can see each character which he develops in the act of reading his lines upon the stage.

Mr. Tony Langton is a man of great literary force, jolly and well tempered for the literary stunts he performs in our greatest weekly newspaper. A friend worth knowing, spirited, inclined to La Bohsemia, he extends those romantic peculiarities that reminds one he is in personal touch of the great Alexander Damas.

Department of Labor, Washing ton, D. C. For the protection of maternity and infancy last year the British Ministry of Health made grants totaling over two and one-half million dollars, according to information received by the Children's Bureau of the United States Department of Labor. Six years ago the necessity was recognized of providing medical and nursing care for mothers and babies in order to reduce the high death rates. The first year a small appropriation was granted but the results obtained were so encouraging that the appropriations have been greatly increased each year. The funds are administered by the Ministry of Health in co-operation with local authorities. The local authorities appropriate a sum equal to the amount granted by the government. The service available includes instruction in the hygiene of maternity and infancy, midwifery and maternity nursing, and hospital and maternity home care. In commenting upon the results of the work done in England for the public protection of maternity and infancy, Dr. Christopher Addison, Minister of Health, says: The development of the services throughout the country in nursing, midwifery and other facilities, and the combination of the whole big effort, has been able to reduce the infant mortality rate in 20 years from 151 to 78. If we had had that figure of 78 during the last 10 years, it would have meant the saving of 250,000 lives in that period. DR. AND MRS. W. H. DAVIS PLEASANTLY CELEBRATED THEIR THIRTY-FIFTH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY. Tuesday evening some of the numerous friends of Dr. and Mrs. W. H.

THE LATE DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. Founder of the far famed Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who started on a long journey to that undiscovered country, the middle of November, 1915. THERE ARE MIGHTY HOT TIMES AHEAD FOR THE LEADING WHITE AND COLORED REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS RESIDING IN THE SECOND WARD AND IN THE NEW PROPOSED THIRD WARD. THERE ARE MIGHTY HOT TIMES LEADING WHITE AND CO POLITICIANS RESIDING IN AND IN THE NEW PROPOSE THE FOLLOWING HIGHLY INV WRITTEN AND CONTRIB UMNS BY THE MAN ON TH The Fifty Ward Bill that appeared on the little ballot election day was carried by more than 60,000 majority. It provides for fifty wards instead of thirty-five and the City Council is authorized to redistrict the city within ninety days making 50 wards with one alderman to a ward instead of two as the present system of election provides. From the corridors of the City Hall comes the startling and tragic political rumor that in the redistricting of the wards, the colored people are to be deprived of one of their aldermen by the old ruse of segregation based upon political security for political bosses. It is stated upon good authority that the Committee on Elections composed of some twenty aldermen of the City Council a majority of whom are Democrats have prepared a 50-ward plan and have allotted two wards to the colored people based solely upon population, using the Federal census of 1920 as their guide; that the north line of the new 2nd Ward remains at 26th street and the south line is 37th street with Wentworth avenue and the lake as the east and west lines. The new 3rd Ward is arranged with 37th street as the north line, 43rd street as the sout line and Wentworth avenue and the lake as the east and west lines. The new 2nd Ward as outlined is admitted ninety per cent colored and the new 3rd Ward as outlined is 80 per cent Republican and 60 per cent colored. These two wards guaranteeing our representation of two aldermen in the City Council of Chicago is given us without protest and based entirely upon population and a square deal. But the unexpected is about to happen if the colored people themselves do not take up arms against a diabolical southern scheme that is being fostered by Hon. William A. Bither, the Thompson Committeeman of the present 3rd Ward, who is seeking to segregate the Negroes of the 2nd Ward by keeping their ward lines at 36th street and prevent them from acquiring the territory between 39th and 43rd street, thereby reducing the race to one single ward in fifty and depriving our group of one of their alderman for his (Mr. Blither's) political benefit, the population and the census to the contrary notwithstanding. It is the old slogan "they shall not pass." Again, every ward in Chicago is being cut without regard to race lines and without regard to political territory, then why this scheme to confine all the Negroes to one ward when it is admitted without doubt by the Council Committee that they are entitled to two wards and have prepared the wards along those lines! Break up this scene now, preserve our rights and the future of our children who are to enjoy the fruits of our labor and our gratitude to the present administration. The irony and the tragedy of the situation is that the Thompson administration is about to sanction this Southern scheme and rob the Negro of his political rights. Can it be that Mayor Thompson for whom we have fought, bled and died is going to approve this dasfardly attempt to segregate our people, thereby lending aid and comfort to the Hyde Park Association in its fight against us to destroy our homes and deprive our people of the rights guaranteed us by the Constitution of our Country. Surely our Honorable Mayor has not forgotten the square deal he has stood for the past six years or is it to be that having served as faithful servants, our cup of gratitude is to be "runeth over" with the water of sorrow! Have we fought in vain or are we to be the victims of false race leaders? selfishness and duplicity! No, we cannot believe that Mayor William Hale Thompson will place a single stone in the pathway of the progress of the Negro people of Chicago, but to the contrary will insist they have a square deal and stop Mr. Bither and his Southern scheme of segregation and disfranchisement and urge the Council Committee to follow their plan of two wards as planned, which secured two colored alderman in the City Council of Chicago. It is further stated that certain colored leaders are joining with Mr. Bither in this effort to deprive the race of one of their aldermen for the sole and selfish purpose of preventing any other Negro in either the 2nd r 3rd Wards from rising from the ranks to equal political standing and if this be true it is time for every member of the race on the south side, every Preacher, Church, Civic and Political Organization to protest against this infamous attempt to defeat righteousness and justice. Let meetings be held everywhere, resolutions passed and sent to the Mayor. If Mr. Bither, one single white man can take away the rights of eighty thousand Negroes, then we have fought in vain and our rights under the Constitution of our City and State are in jeopardy. Demand a square deal now and remember that he who hesitates today is lost forever. 101 HON. HENRY HORNER.

I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for that increasing number of intelligent, Goe-fearing men and women of the South, white and black, who have determined in a rational way that every citizen shall be fairly and justly treated." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in introducing Dr. Moton, said that civilization will By Wm. Anthony Aery. Hampton, Va.—That the Negro in Virginia and elsewhere "wants an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and happiness"—this was the plea of Dr. Robert R. Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute, made before the members of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia (Allen Washington, Hampton Institute, president) and the Negro State Teachers' Association of Virginia (D. G. Jacex, Norfolk, president) at their Newport News joint meeting. Dr. Moton said: "The time is past, if indeed there ever was such a time, when we can assume that all white people, whether officials or private citizens, are unfriendly toward us. Such an attitude on our part toward them is as unjust as it is to charge the whole Negro race with being criminal. "There are a great many strong and influential white men and women in the South who are not only friendly toward the Negro, but who are now devoting much of their time and energy without reserve to see that the Negro receives justice and fair treatment throughout the South. "South of the Mason and Dixon Line there are approxiamtely thirty million white people and about nine million colored people, with comparatively few foreigners. With all of the back ground of the past as a guide, the two races that have been born and brought up together ought to be able to adjust measure of happiness and prosperity, along with the largest measure of usefulness and service to each other. I believe this can be done." Dr. Moton referred to the large share which the Negro Organization Society has had in blazing the way for important inter-racial co-operation and congratulated the Society's officers, including Major Allen Washington, its president, and Prof. John M. Gandy, executive secretary, "for keeping the organization on its even keel of progress and sanity." "The white people of the South," said Dr. Moton, "were never more ready and anxious to know what the Negro is thinking about, to know what is in the back of his head, than they are today. There never was a time when they read more widely from Negro periodicals than they do today. "What the Negro wants in Virginia and elsewhere is an equal chance with other Americans in the pursuit of life and its blessings; what he wants is to go his way peacefully and quietly so long as he violates no laws and does not trespass on the rights of his neighbor." After outlining for white people some of the disadvantages under which Negroes are compelled to live and after recommending the use of Negro deputies, constables and other officers of the law, in communities where there are considerable numbers of colored people, as means of reducing crime, Dr. Moton made a vigorous plea for the enforcement of law and order among all citizens, for the development of better schools, better churches, and better homes, and for the promotion of the work of the Inter-racial Commission, which aims to adjust and to prevent racial difficulties. "Never before has the South been as willing, I may even say eager," declared Dr. Moton, "to deal with the Negro in fairness and justice as it is at present. I wish to express my thanks and appreciation for that increasing number of intelligent, Gale fearing men and women of the South, white and black, who have determined in a rational way that every citizen shall be fairly and justly treated." Dr. James E. Gregg, principal of Hampton Institute, in introducing Dr. Moton, said that civilization really means the gradual bringing together of people and the abolishing of old suspicions and animosities. He declared that Dr. Moton, who has been bringing people together spiritually, is a force of civilization. Constructive Program. The Negro Organization Society members, speaking through their Committee on Resolutions, recognized the fact that "the advancement of the Negro people in Virginia rests upon increased opportunities for the education of their children." They defended "the great shortage of Negro teachers which has made necessary the closing of hundreds of schools to thousands of children who are growing up in ignorance to become in later years a memoir to the State." They endorsed the Rosenwald School movement and the work of the State Normal School at Petersburg, which aims to give special teacher-training work during the summer quarter. The members endorsed the public health work which is being done for Negroes throughout Virginia. They commended the State for assuming the responsibility of adequately financing and controlling the Industrial lone School for Colored Girls, the Normal Training School for Colored Boys, and the Colored Deaf and Blind Institute. They recommended that a committee be appointed to place before the State authorities the claim for an institution which will care for the feeble-minded and mentally-defective Negro children. They recommended that Negroes who own farms should keep them and operate them. They deplored the occasional outbreaks of ill-will in the country between white men and black men. "We realize that, if the two races are to live happily and peaceably together, both must exercise self-control, the spirit of tolerance, and a deep-seated desire to accord to each other absolute justice and fair play." They approved the work of the Inter-racial Commission in the South. They recognized the spirit of thrift among the colored people of Newport News and commended this spirit to all other Negroes. State-wide Response. State-wide Response. From distant parts of Virginia, as well as from Tidewater Virginia, there came many energetic, hopeful delegates from school-improvement leagues, county and local teachers' associations home-makers' clubs, public and private schools, churches, and social-service organizations, who reported on the progress of colored people toward securing "Better Health, Better Schools, Better Homes, Better Farms." The delegates came to receive information and inspiration. They reported on the problems of race adjustment, which remain to be solved through the cooperation of white and colored leaders. William D. Gresham, Richmond, Va., state supervisor of colored schools, spoke on "The Value of Co-operation in Building Up the Colored Schools of Virginia." Hon.

Jackson is President and who own and operate two of the best groceries and meat markets in the second Ward, declared a dividend of five per cent on all shares of stock of record September 1, 1920, being the earnings for the first six months of business on an investment of only $8,000 on that date. The Club has sold 1,000 shares at Five Dollars a share, total of $8,000, the same during the eight months of its existence and have only 400 shares for sale to complete their capitol stock of Ten Thousand Dollars. Their success is told in a very few words; with only $8,000 paid in, they own two stores valued at Fifteen Thousand Dollars with a liability of only Three Thousand Dollars and all within a period of less than nine months. This is positive proof that colored people can do real business with honest arrangement and by standing together like they have never stood before. PUSHING HOLD WORK Together with inmates, Jennie E.

This is a vow which is to be kept regardless of consequences, and is commonly supposed to be derived from the Bible story of Jephthah, the leader of a band of brigands. Before going to battle against the Ammonites he vowed, if successful, he would offer as a sacrifice whatever was the first thing to cross the threshold of his own door when he returned triumphant. His daughter was the first one to advance to meet him. It is recorded that he sacrificed her according to his vow. But It's Less Popular. Doctors are fond of sending their patients for a rest cure.

The black bass are of two species—the small-mouth black bass and the large-mouth black bass, writes Dr. R. W. Shufeldt in the American Forestry Magazine. Both belong to the genus Micropterus, and are readily distinguished through the fact that in the last-named form the angle of the gape of the mouth is back of the imaginary vertical line from the center of the pupil of the eye upon either side. So many are these fish that they are known as the "gametfish of the North," and anglers prefer to fish for them above all other kinds. Width of French Roads.

STUMP, WHO NEVER WILL LEARN HOW TO WRITE FOR NEWSPAPERS, BLEW INTO QUINCY, ILLINOIS, WHERE HE CAME IN CONTACT WITH ITS LEADING CITIZENS, WHICH WAS THE FORMER HOME OF PROF. AARON E. MALONE. Quiney, Ill.—I have been informed that there has been an election in this country and my friend, President Woodrow Wilson, will have to retire from the White House soon and seek other quarters, and many of the Democrats will be out of a job in and around Washington, and some of those who have been in Congress will have to go way back and sit down. This is the news that has been handed down to me and my generation. Is it possible that the time will never come that the President can stay present as long as he lives and when he dies hand the job down to his son, and he to his son, and on and on down until it can be kept in the family for ever. here to tell you that things look good. Then he carries with him such good inspirational men and women. He has among his friends some of the best in the world. I want to tell you some of them who were here. I have already mentioned Mrs. Breedlove, the wife of Dr. Breedlove, and now I come to that man here who stands for so much, Professor Roberts, principal of the Lincoln graded school where all the business has been transacted. He was on hand, and contributed his part to the work. He is a great fellow, and has been in the work of school for a long time. By the way Professor Malone was one time principal of this school. Leaving Professor Roberts, I come to Prof. Frank L. Williams, one of the The election a few days ago was a one-sided affair. I think the Republicans could have given the poor Democrats a running chance. Just think of one President getting over four hundred electoral votes, and if it had not been for the refusal to let us vote down home, we would have shown you something which would have been a something and don't you forget it. We would have given Mr. Harding the votes of South Carolina and Mississippi, and Alabama would have been in the doubtful column, and then there would have been something doing in Georgia. We are not asking for too much, but we do ask the right of franchise and we will take care of ourselves, and help to take care of our friends. This was indeed a great campaign, and we have brought forth some strong men in this fight, some we did not know we had, also working women, and they had all united in helping to put the thing over. Governor Cox will retire from the ring a much smaller man than ever before, because of his manner of campaigning and then for trying to inject the color line into it. He tried to raise a fuss on the expenditures of the Harding-Coolidge campaign, and could not raise bug dust, then he planked his little feet down on the League of Nations and that would not work, for the people had declared it to be un-American, and they were not going to sell their country out to Europe in order that President Wilson might live in luxury in Europe. Well it is all over now, and we must turn out and do other things now right today. I have been around seeing how the people lined up, and I spent the last days as I told you with Prof. Aaron E. Malone, who is indeed a remarkable character and his wife is right by his side. It is a rare thing that you find two remarkable people linked together, for that would make it remarkablustirel. Step by step they have climbed the ladder of fame, until now the people are going to ask Mr. Harding to appoint Mr. Malone Register of the Treasury. This would be a just tribute paid to the right man, and it would be taking things in the right direction. I consider these two people great, because they started from the ground, orphans, working up, working through school. Mr. Malone became a teacher and Mrs. Malone, took to chemistry while in school, and made her knowledge count for something. She got down to business, made a place for herself and her race, and later these two souls were united as one, and they are today just like two little children. The interest of one is the interest of the other. Mr. Malone was appointed on the Missouri State Republican Executive Committee, the first member of our race to hold such a place, and he had charge of the speakers and all the political affairs in Missouri among our people. He organized, and helped to put over the full state ticket, but he was not alone in this, because Mrs. Annie M. Malone, organized and worked among the women and the two accomplished something. Just as soon as the ballot was put in the box, Mr. Malone had already arranged to get the returns at the Lincoln School in this city and left on the train. He wanted to be with the people up here to help them rejoice, and then there was another reason, which was to help them help themselves. They are trained to the common people and not away from them, and when they are in trouble, Mr. and Mrs. Malone are also. God has blessed them and they want to help others enjoy life. They felt the need of great social center work here, and they started a drive for $10,000 which is going to be had right here in town and among our people. Mrs. Mabel Breedleove got in the game, and she is a well trained worker. She was the vanguard. She got the organization started. She was born in a state where women learn how to do things. She came into the world via Leavenworth, Kansu. Got through the high school there and then turned her attention to Meharry in Nashville, where she learned that drug business, how to stir up medicines in the latest improved style, and I am told that she is one of the best in the country, and she must be if she studied under Dr. Severe. The people were good and ready when Professor Malone got here. They took right hold of the work, and I am here to tell you that things look good. Then he carries with him such good inspirational men and women. He has among his friends some of the best in the world. I want to tell you some of them who were here. I have already mentioned Mrs. Breedlove, the wife of Dr. Breedlove, and now I come to that man here who stands for so much, Professor Roberts, principal of the Lincoln graded school where all the business has been transacted. He was on hand, and contributed his part to the work. He is a great fellow, and has been in the work of school for a long time. By the way Professor Malone was one time principal of this school. Leaving Professor Roberts, I come to Prof. Frank L. Williams one of the most noted of educators. Professor Williams is a scholar of the first grade, and one of the best school men in the country, and at the same time is one of the highest salaried men in America, and because he took time to prepare himself. He has had some real flattering offers to leave town, but sticks to St. Louis. He is an organizer and knows all about drives, for he has been in so many of them and has put his money in them too. He was accompanied by Prof. Gerald Tyler, the Director of music in the same school. That is one of the greatest music men in the country. He has a wonderful ability, and can make them masters take down their sign. He must have gotten his taste for music from heaven, and he is certainly going to have a high place up there in the heavenly choir. I am just here to be with these other gentlemen, for there is nothing I can do except use big sounds, and that will not get much money, yet I am here to see it done. Mr. and Mrs. Malone have the love and confidence of the people. That is just the first half of the battle, and I tell you when Mrs. Malone gives you that smile and with her sweet musical voice in speech you just open your pocketbook and tell her to take out as much as she wants for the cause. God give us more of them. But now coming back to Mr. Malone, he has been a man among men. He has contributed of his means, he has worked, and his wife has worked. She can go into the kitchen and cook a real first-class meal, and this I have seen her do right here in Quincy, and I saw her out yesterday sweeping the leaves off of the yard. She cleans up, makes up beds, and then she can dress up, as she is able to dress up and entertain in her parlor. Wonderful. Now there is something that should be done, and you will agree with me, and that is make Prof. Aaron E. Malone Register of the United States Treasury. This would be pleasing to all of our people and a tribute to a deserving man. In him we would all be represented, the high and the low, rich and poor. He loves all of us, and we all love him, and we are going to ask as one for his appointment. How do you stand on this? It suits me. I shall tell you some of the things he has done for our people from time to time. His money belongs to the people, and he gives them the use of it. I think I shall have to bring this letter to a sudden stop. The annex to Poro College will be opened Thanksgiving week. Look out for it. CHARLES E. STUMP. Flavor for Wines.

FURSAREFAVORED FURSAREFAVORED Peitry Promises to Be More Luxurious Than Ever Before. Extraordinary Large Collars Are Striking Feature; Gorgeous Linings of Costly Materials. Those who know say the furs of the coming season will be more luxurious than ever before. Especially costly and attractive are the new coats. Of these the extraordinary large collars are a striking feature. One of the smartest coats shows a deep shawl color and panels in front and back, which are drawn together and held in place at the sides by means of cords and tassels of fur. Many of the coats show linings almost gorgeous as their exterior. The linings are made of costly satins and brocades and trimmed with elaborate hand embroidery. In some cases the embroidery is used as a border Greggii Hermes & Intercels Muskrat Coat With Large Colla. around the bottom of the coat; in others single flowers, among which pansies are favorites, are scattered over the entire lining. Many dyd furs, such as skunk and marten, are being used. Seal and squirrel are also very popular. USE OF BRAID AS TRIMMING Embellishment May Be Effectively Applied on Skirt, Jacket and Chemise Dress. So much has been said of trimmings that it might appear that the designers' imagination had been taxed to the utmost, but there are new things appearing each week. In the way of using braids alone the developments are most interesting. A novel way of applying braid as a trimming is seen in the use of six strips sewn together and applied lengthwise in groups of three at the sides of the skirt, giving somewhat the appearance of plaits. Again, the skirt and jacket of a very smart blue serge suit show five very small gores, each edged with black braid let in at either side of the hip. Then there are chemise dresses braided in conventional designs from the waistline to the hem. A striking effect is obtained by trimming a black cloth dress of this type with flat white braid. A frock of tobacco brown duvet has a cape back cut in with the sleeves. A most unusual trimming appears on this cape in the form of two-inch bands of cutout embroidery, through which the cape lining of crepe georgette shows. The cutout embroidery appears again down the sides of the skirt. CLOTHES THAT KIDDIES LIKE Youngsters Appreciate Having Garments Decorated With Pictures That Appeal to Them. Of course, when one is only six, one doesn't a very elaborate vocabulary to use in expressing one's love for clothes whose trimming are really interesting. The only thing to do is to insist every time mother dresses one that one wear the frock with the elephant, pig, flowerpot or what not on it. And that is just what the kiddies do. They like their clothes to express all trimming propensities in the form of pictures with which they are familiar, and they don't hesitate to say so. Mothers can sensibly gratify this desire on the part of their children by using only decorative "pictures" for frocks, reserving animals for playclothes, bibs, aprons (at least this will be a clever way to make the youngsters like the traditionally hated apron and bib 4) and then not spending more time upon either the embroidery or appliqué, as the case may be, than is fitting for the importance of the garment.

ACTRESS' ADVICE ON DRESS Character, Not Figure, Should Be Considered in Matter of Gowns, Stage Woman Says. Dress your character, not your figure, is the advice of a famous actress—and rather surprising this advice seems at first hearing. But think it over well and the excellence of the idea will appeal to you. Every woman has a certain individuality of her own—a temperament, if you will—that makes her a little, or perhaps a good deal, different from all other women. It is this individuality—this temperament—that woman should dress up to, according to the actress, in order to make the personality more marked and convincing. But an instinctive carrying out of this advice with no heed to the promptings of reason may result in disaster. For example, there is always the woman who weighs 200 pounds or thereabouts, but whose personality is distinctly kitenish. Is she to dress her character or her figure? There is also the very little woman who ought to belong to the cuddy, appealing class, who years to be impressive and stately. If she insists upon wearing the garments of the grenadier woman she may spoil her chances of being fascinatingly charming. But between these two extremes there is a very happy medium, and in this idea of dressing up to one's type there is also a very valuable suggestion. The importance of reflecting personal individuality in costume is appreciated by many women who design their own clothes and hand the designs to tailor, dressmakers and milliner to reproduce in practical guise. The actress in her part is always dressed in conformity with the character she is portraying, but her costumes—and here is an important point—are made to suit her figure lines while expressing a special sort of personality. TIMELY FASHION HINTS Big plaids and little plaids are used galore. Formal tea gowns show long, clinging lines. Many short jackets flare from the shoulder. Brown net is richly embroidered with gold. Tailored costumes are mostly of plain goods. The newest form of sweater coat is a straight jacket of white China silk made of several layers and quilted and it is worn with a navy blue cape and skirt. Variety is the rule in the displays of autumn hats. They are made up in velvet, duvetyn felt and laces. Many of them are trimmed profusely with paradise. The newest French lingerie is fashioned of fine pink and yellow linen. Another favorite note of the season is to be found in white linen undergarments with appliqued designs in colored linens. Indications point to the long sleeve as the popular style for the new blouses. In spite of the favor shown to the three-quarter-length sleeves at the beginning of the season, the pendulum is swinging more and more toward the long sleeve. Appliqué and eyelet embroidery are two new features of the smartest fall blouses. One model shows a panel of taupe georgette with eyelet embroidery. posed over a foundation of Hindu color. A second model has tan velvet apples appliqued on a blouse of navy georgette. Tan flet lace and green satin bands give a further color contrast. Black Lace and White Velvet Some of the most striking combinations of black and white are seen in models of black lace used in conjunction with white velvet. A favorite way of making a dress from these materials is to develop a simple foundation of black lace with long sleeves that hang loosely to about the elbow from where they fit tightly over the lower arm and wrist. The velvet is used to form the front portion of the dress, which is in apron panel effect. Often the white velvet panels carry beautiful embroidery in black. Millinery Matches Dress Trimming. Fall millinery matches the dress trimming in brilliancy of color. This is offset, however, by moderation in the size of the hats. Draped turbans in boat shape and in the Hindu styles are prominent. Sailors have a decided tendency toward the rolled brim. Drum With Harmonica. Musicians find the drum an unsatisfactory instrument for lack of harmonic overtones. From India comes the description of a drum the parchment head of which is loaded with an adherent composition containing finely divided iron. Such composition lies in a central circle. Around the edge a second ring-shaped membrane is secured and the effect of the loading is to produce good harmonic overtones. - Coral Islands. A coral island has a shape of its own, and pleasant-sounding names are used to describe it. The island itself is called an atoll (pronounced at-oil with an equal stress on each syllable). An atoll is a ring-shaped island, with usually one or more breaks in the ring, called boat channels, and the water surrounded by the ring is called the lagoon. At 125 Degree in Death Valley. At Greenland ranch, in Death valley, California, the air temperature, as recorded by a tested maximum thermometer exposed in a standard instrument shelter, rose to 100 degrees or higher on 23 days during June, and on every day during July, 1920. The extreme maximum was 125 degrees, recorded on the last day of July. On July 10, 1913, the temperature there reached 134 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest officially recorded air temperature in the world. -From the Bulletin, American Meteorological Society, United States' Bad Lands.

Some are to be found also in Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas. Bermuda Islands Very English.

A "frog in the throat" soon quits "croaking" when the patient partakes of the palatable and soothing home remedy of equal portions of honey and lemon juice. It has been found invaluable in relieving acute hoarseness and irritation of the throat and larynx. Beginning of Ballooning. To inclose smoke in a bag so that it would lift the bag with its own ascending power, was the idea of the paper mukers, the brothers Montgolfier, and they got so far in their invention as to cause the bag which they invented to rise to the ceiling, and improving upon this they invented a machine that was a balloon, and was the forerunner of the inflammable air balloon.
