MANY CANDIDATES HAVE FILED PETITIONS And Entered the Bitter Contest for Re-Nomination or Re-Election to the City Council from Their Respective Wards--Many Entirely New Candidates Are Aspiring to Break Into That Body for the First Time VOL. XXVI And Entered Their R More than one hundred and fifty candidates have entered the Aldermanic race for aldermen of the respective wards throughout the city, and each and every one of those candidates, regardless of their fitness or unfitness, claim or feel that they were cut out just to represent the people residing in the several wards in the City Council there will be two or three red hot or bitter fights among the various candidates to see who is who. In the First ward Ald. Michael Kenna will have a worthy foe in the person of Mr. George Hodge, editor and publisher of the Union Labor Advocate, which is the leading official organ among the laboring people in this city, and Mr. Hodge, with his strong backing, will give Alderman Kenna a hot foot run for his money. In the 14th ward Alderman George M. Maypole who, like his father before him, has always stood a high with the Colored people in his ward, and at every stage of the game he has secured hundreds of good positions for his Colored friends, both men and women, and the whole army of friends of Alderman Maypole feel dead sure of his calling and re-election to the City Council. Alderman Joseph B. McDonough and Alderman Robert J. Mulecah will go to the mat and fight it out in the 5th ward between each other, and at the present time it is hard to tell which way the old political cat will jump and which one of them will be the head Democratic boss in the old fighting 5th ward. The following candidates are in the race for City Clerk, City Treasurer and for aldermen in the several wards: Names Rotate on Ballot. Under the nonpartisan election law the names of candidates are placed on the ballot in alphabetical order in the First precinct in each ward and rotate by precincts, each candidate having first place an equal number of times. For city clerk James T. Igoe filed for re-election on the Democratic ticket. Herman E. Pettersen, 906 Laiyette avenue, and Walter Davis have filed as Republican candidates. For city treasurer Ald. Clayton F. Smith is the sole Democratic candidate. Grover T. Cook, 111 North Lavergne avenue, F. C. Hayer, Republican candidates. Filings for Aldermen.

NEGROES, LIKE WHITES, HAVE MOVED TO TOWN. Census Shows Trend of Blacks to Cities. Washington, D. C.-The Negro population has increased at a far higher rate in northern than in southern cities, according to statistics thus far compiled by the census bureau. In seventeen cities, each with a total population of 100,000 and more in the north, and only one southern city, Norfolk, Va., the percentage of increase of the colored race has been greater than that of the white. In only two southern cities, however, Louisville, Ky., and Nashville, Tenn., has there been a decrease in the colored population during the last ten years as against an increase in the decade from 1900 to 1910, and figures so far available show a movement of the Negroes to the large industrial towns in every state and away from the smaller cities and agricultural districts. Migration From Farm Only? Whether the great increase in the Negro population of the large cities is due mainly to an exodus from the south or largely to the migration of Negroes from the rural parts of northern states to the industrial centers cannot be stated definitely until the complete population figures of the states by races are available. Delaware is the only state for which figures are now available and there, although the Negro population of Wilmington has increased by 1,670, or 18 per cent, in the last ten years as against a decrease of 655, or 6.7 per cent, in the previous decade, the total Negro population of the state shows a decrease of 840, or 2.7 per cent, as against an increase of 484, or 1.6 per cent, from 1900 to 1910. Chicago Increase 65,491. In Chicago, the Negro population increased 65,491, or 148 per cent, but in Springfield it dropped from 2,961 to 2,769 in the last ten years, as against an increase of 734 from 1900 to 1910. In East St. Louis the rate of increase was lower in the last ten years than in the previous decade. In St. Louis, Mo., the Negro population increased 25,643, or 58 per cent, while in Topeka, Kans., there was a decrease of 241, or 5.3 per cent. CHICAGO, ILL., SATURDAY, PEBRUARY 5, 1921. Member of the Legislature of Illinois from the Third Senatorial District, who introduced the following House Joint Resolution in the Illinois Legislature, Tuesday, and which passed without one dissenting vote or voice. MEMORIAL TO CONGRESS- LYNCH LAW AND MOB VIOLENCE House Joint Resolution. Whereas, There is pending before the House of Representatives of the Congress of the United States, H.R.14097, "A Bill having for its object and purpose the assurance to persons within the jurisdiction of every state the equal protection of the laws and to punish the crime of lynching"; and Whereas, The crime of lynching has become so widespread throughout the country, which in many states the state authorities have almost wholly failed to prevent or punish, and in a vast majority of cases seem to have been induced by local prejudice against the race, color, nationality, or religion of the person lynched; and DR. DILLARD'S EULOGY OF - GENERAL ARMSTRONG. "He Had the Democratic Mind"—Armstrong Speaks Today for Racial Goodwill and Justice. Hampton, Va.—The Hampton Institute Founder's Day celebration brought together prominent leaders in education, business, and religion. Dr. James Hardy Dillard, president of the Jeanes and Slater Boards, rector of William and Mary College, and member of the General Education Board, delivered the principal address. Dr. Dillard outlined the world-wide influence of Gen. Samuel Chapman Armstrong, who founded Hampton Institute in 1868 and remained its principal until his death in 1893. Each year a distinguished American delivers the Armstrong memorial address. Among those who have spoken in previous years are: Franklin K. Lane, William Howard Taft, Robert R. Moton, Woodrow Wilson, and Lyman Abbott. "General Armstrong was a missionary," said Dr. Dillard, "but he had something in him which missionaries sometimes lack. He had what we may call the democratic mind. He worked in the spirit of equality rather than in the spirit of condescension. Without this spirit he could never have done the work he did, nor given the inspiration he gave, nor spread the influence which still abides in his memory. "Not any more than there was in the heart of Abraham Lincoln was in the heart of General Armstrong one drop of rancor or of desire of vengeance, toward the Southern white people, high or low. His HON. ADELBERT H. ROBERTS. Whereas, The taking of the lives of 3,224 human beings in this country in thirty years, fifty of whom were women, shows that public conscience has become insensible to the enormity of this evil, and that the ordinary processes of law are not able to cope with it; and, Whereas, Lynching is not confined to any particular section, but is liable to be resorted to anywhere within the confines of our great country, evidenced by the fact that even the soil of our beloved state, consecrated to the dust of Lincoln, Grant, Logan and John M. Palmer, has been stained by blood drawn by the cruel hand of the lyncher; and, Whereas, The taking of so many lives without due process of law, many of whom were only charged with minor offenses, and a considerable number proven by subsequent developments to have been innocent attitude was entirely that of sympathy and co-operation. The South from the first respected him. "There is today hardly a superintendent of public schools in the whole Southern country who does not know of Hampton's work and does not seek the co-operation of Hampton and Hampton's graduates. "In the old Reconstruction days General Armstrong said, 'This is a part of the war.' So now he would say, 'This is a part of the war.' One thing I know, he would not take the gloomy view. I love to fancy that General Armstrong would say today something like this in spirit, if not in words: "Yes, the world has been passing through serious times, days of uncertainty, days of distress; but good is going to come out of all the trouble. Through pain to gain. We mortals will not learn any other way. "Some are downcast, some disappointed, some resentful, all have felt the strain; but we know that the way of solution for all social problems is through the two great forces of education and religion, school and church, more light, more heart. "Let us double and redouble our efforts for broader knowledge, wiser thinking, deeper sympathy, kinder feelings. No matter what comes, let us trust to the two great commandments, God and good-will. "Let us have faith, faith that God still lives, that justice and judgment are still the habitation of His throne; let us have hope, hope that we may be strengthened with the courage that we need to stand for the right with head erect; and let us have charity, charity for all men, high and low, rich and poor, just and unjust, charity, which never failleth, which of the crimes with which they were charged, is not only a travesty upon justice, but a blot upon civilization and the fair name of America; and, Whereas, It is the duty of the Federal Government to make every person secure in his life, not only as a matter of justice to the individual, but also in order that this shall be what our fathers intended, a government of, by and for the people; Be It Therefore Resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring herein, that the Members of the Fifty-Second General Assembly of the State of Illinois request the members of Congress from the State of Illinois, to endeavor to bring about, the passage of R. R. 14097, or of similar legislation at as early date as possible; and be it further, Resolver, That a copy of this Resolution be sent to each member of Congress from the State of Illinois. along with trust in God, is the beginning and the triumph of wisdom." CATHOLIC PAPER ASSAILS KNIGHTS OF KU-KLUX KLAN New York.—The first formal utterance of a Catholic paper against the Ku-Klux Klan has appeared in "America," a Catholic weekly published here. The article, by John B. Kennedy, charges the Ku-Klux Klan with being an organization attempting to revive old religious antipathies and classes it as a competitor for "initiation fees" with the Sons and Daughters of Washington. "As far as their patriotic activity weighs in the news scale," the article states, "it is conceivable that there is less news interest in a group of Knights of Pythias bound for a clam bake than in a group of Ku-Klux Knights bound for a 'Nigger bake, but there is no question of the relative patriotic merit of the two functions." The article ends by attributing the religious activities of the klan to envy of the war and reconstruction record of the Catholics. Mrs. Lottie M. Cooper will leave tomorrow evening for her home in East Orange, N. J., after pleasantly visiting with relatives and friends for six weeks in this city. Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsey Davis, who was run down by an automobile some three weeks ago at 37th and Michigan avenue, was, on Wednesday, removed from the Fort Dearborn Hospital to her home, 3710 Indiana avenue, and she is getting along very nicely. ERNEST H. WILLIAMSON, THE UP-TO-DATE AND ENTERPRISING FUNERAL DIRECTOR, MOVES INTO HIS NEW ESTABLISHMENT. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN AND ELABORATE ESTABLISHMENTS OF ITS KIND IN CHICAGO, BARRING NONE. IT IS HEATED BY STEAM AND ILLUMINATED BY INDIRECT ELECTRIC LIGHTS. THE WALLS IN THE BUILDING AND PRIVATE OFFICES ARE WAINSCOATED WITH WHITE MARBLE; WALLS ARE ALSO BEAUTIFIED BY FREE HAND LOVELY OR MAGNIFICENT OIL PAINTINGS BY GEORGE WINSLOW, THE LEADING COLORED ARTIST IN THIS CITY, WHO DRANK IN MUCH OF HIS ARTISTIC TRANING FROM THE MASTER ARTISTS OF FRANCE. Some ten or twelve years ago, Mr. Ernest H. Williamson, who is a graduate of the Tuskegee Institute, Alabama, who was always a great admirer of its founder, the late Booker T. Washington, started in the undertaking business in a small way at 5028 and 5030 South State street, and by working early and late sticking close to business and by dealing honestly with his patrons he gradually landed on a solid foundation and he began to invest some of the money which he derived from his business into income real estate. Several years ago, he bought the vacant lot running from 5121 to 5123 South State street, and the lot and three story brick building adjoining it on the south, giving him 66 feet frontage on State street by 165 feet deep, back to the alley way. Not long thereafter he began the construction of the new building on the vacant part of his real estate holdings at that point. Owing to the scarcity of first class workmen more than six months was consumed than what he figured on in the construction of the building which is a great credit to Mr. Williamson in every respect and a lasting monument to the neighborhood where the building is located and will stand for many years to come. The new building is three stories high, red brick front, including cement basement where the steam heating and hot water plant is located, which furnishes plenty of steam and hot water for the entire building. On the second and third floors front are located two five-room flats with white marble steps leading up to them. Two general and two private offices are located on either side of the main entrance of the building which is all mainscoated with smooth white marble and the walls in the hallway as well as the walls in the private offices are all made ever so beautiful with MANY HONORS HAVE BEEN SHOWERED UPON MRS. LOTTIE M. COOPER BY HER HOSTS OF FRIENDS IN CHICAGO. Mrs. Lottie Meredith Cooper of New York City, has been visiting her old home town for the past six weeks, the guest of her sister, Mrs. Edward Odom, 3733 Forest ave., and no visitor has been the recipient of so much social courtesy as has been extended to Mrs. Cooper. Whist and dinner parties, motor parties, theater and dancing parties have been the order of the day and friends who have not entertained her have sent flowers, candy and gifts. The most delightful of the many affairs was the party given by the "Home Girls Club" which is composed of Chicagoans. The party was given at the residence of the Misses Laura and Nettie French and the home was decorated with flowers. The guest table was beautifully lovely or magnificent free-hand oil paintings which have been wrought out at great expense by Mr. George Winslow, who is one of the best and most artistic colored artists in this country and he drank in much of the training along that line at the feet of some of the most noted masters of high art in France. In the midst of the lovely or beautiful oil paintings, white marble wainscoating, highly polished wood work, easy chairs and other fine and expensive trappings, all pleasing to the eye, one does not feel that they are in an undertaking establishment, but rather that they are resting up in a finely furnished parlor or drawing room. In the rear part of the building are located the chapel which will seat one hundred and fifty-six persons, which contains a pulpit and plenty of room for the choir, on the north side of the chapel and directly east of it is the morque, cooling or lay-out rooms. The show or display room is 43 by 60 feet and it is loaded down with all kinds of caskets, robes and with all kinds of undertakers' supplies. Still in the rear is located the large garage which can hold 36 cars and a gasoline tank in connection with the garage which holds one thousand gallons of gasoline. Mr. Williamson owns four cars himself and a fine modern hearse and he has considerable space in his garage to rent out to those who desire to store their cars in a safe place. When he is conducting funerals the casket and the mourners are loaded into the cars on the side just as they leave the chapel and there is a wide driveway leading to the street and by that arrangement there is no blocking of the streets at any time. All in all, the whole establishment reflects undying credit on the enterprise and goaheadedness on the part of Mr. Williamson. decorated with flowers, cut glass and imported linen and china. A delicious menu was served. The Home Girls and their guests included the following ladies: Mesdames Lena V. Lewis, Mame Carroll, Charlotte Jackson, Carrie French Shanklin, Leota Davemport Riley, Etta Moore Shoecraft, Mabel Washington, Nettie French, Jessie D. Morris, Julia, Johnson, Hall, Hail Webb Garnett, Gertrude Balay, Jessie De Priest, Alberta Moore Smith, Gertie Shreves Ellington, Nora Manson, Pearl Wilson, Mayme Odom, Teenie Brown, Senora Selden Yerby, Grace Thompson Bates, Elizabeth Clark, Florence Thompson Larry, Louise A. Royall, Emma. Davis, Dolly Smith Jennings, Belle Patton, Sib Bell, Rose Hardin, Maude Lawrence, Laura French Lottie Meredith Cooper, Florence Brent, L. Martin. Mrs. Cooper was presented with a very pretty token of appreciation from her friends, also a lovely bouquet of roses and candy the gift of Mrs. Jessie Morris.

THE BUSY EFFICIENCY IDEA, By Dr. M. A. Majors. We cannot hope to do very much aS separate integral factors. There was a time when with a limited amount of capital one could go into some of the many lines of business and do quite well, but that time has al- most passed away. Today we hear on every hand the preachment of co-operation, and the union of many single forces. This argues well for the future, Many of our business people over- look the fact that a certain degree of efficiency must have consideration in any undertaking. The mere idea of laying in a stock of goods, purchased at wholesale prices and opening a store with a great variety of goods, in a very excellent localtiy without having some of the attributes of sales- manship is a very foolish venture, | Very successful men who started under most unfavorable conditions succeeded because they seriously re- garded the principles of discretion, and made themselves fit in at least some of the qualities of being a store kecper. Watching the fluctuating mar- ketable commodities and keeping tab on the changing prices of butter, eggs, sugar, lard, etc, are some of the ele- mentary prerequisites of the business man who-dreams of becoming a grocer. But the‘other thousand and one things aside from the drudgery sends the fellow who has none of the qualifications of a merchant on a ver- itable fools errand to waste, and to| failure.

The middle of last week Robert Sims passed away at his cme, 633 S. Dearborn street, where he had re- sided for almost fourteen years with his wife and bright little four-year-old son, and on Sunday afternoon funeral services were held over his remains at the new undertaking establishment of Mr. Ernest H. Williamson, 5121 S. State street. It was the first funeral to be held within its walls, as Mr. Williamson only moved in on Frigay and Saturday, and Mr. Sims was buried with all the high honors or rights coming 10 him, for he was 2 member in good standing of Prince Hall Lodge of Masons and a mem- ber of Lake Michigan Lodge’of Odd Fellows and the high priests of those two lodges conducted the last sad rights over his remains.

On Jan. 26, after a pleasing in- terview with Miss “McDonnell, prin- cipal at Keith School, $4th and Dear- born streets, the visitor was directed to confer with Mrs. Joslin, head as- sistant, and this visit could not have been more opportune had it. been timed. Rehearsal of commencement numbers was in progress which, in their final rendition, amply rewarded the untiring work of this teacher who has stood four square in efforts to boost the efficiency rating at this ‘hol and has not failed. The graduating class numbered Awenty-three pupils, and it is a pleas- ure to announce that Theodore Kelley led his class in general schol- arship. The work of the class as a whole was highly commendable and it is hoped that the achievements of these boys and girls will be_an in- spiration to the children following along. ‘An added attraction presented at commencement was Keith Schoo! Or- chestra which, though less than a year old, acquitted themselves ad- mirably on this occasion. When we pause to consider that music is innate with us, of this feature we briefly say that in matters musical, Keith has struck her stride. On the side of intellectual advance- ment we hope that in some future time, when our boys and girls are weighed in the balance of efficiency plus, they will measure up to the standard portrayed in the splendid ad- dress delivered to them by the fon.

By Beatrice E. Lee, Ph.B. A Yuletide comparable to the bes that the Riviera or Monte Carlo (th Palm Beach of Europe) could offe in ideal weather conditions detractec nothing from the zest with which London celebrated this Old Englist festival. Alike in the hospitals, ho- tels of the West-end, theatres, and churches, the spirit of Christmas wa: everywhere apparent. The decoration of warships witk holly and mistletoe on Xmas Day in Sheerness Harbor was not on such ‘an extensive scale as in pre-war times; but most of the’ battleships, cruisers and destroyers in commission had festoons of evergreen hoisted at their mastheads and on flagstaffs. In hospitals the medical and nurs- ing staffs willingly gave their time to enterfaining the many sufferers who at the London Hospital visited each of 900 beds, walking in single file with lanterns while singing carols, “Father Xmas” visited the wards and distrib- uted useful and amusing’ gifts to the inmates and filled the children’s stock- ings. Punch and Judy, conjurors and professional entertainers visited the institutions during the afternoon. On Boxing Day, the day following Xmas, concerts and other entertainments were given in various hospitals. ‘The festaurant and grill rooms of the best hotels, catering especially to American and Continental visitors, were beautifully decorated with fes- ‘oons of real flowers, baskets of mis- letoe and holly and Xmas trees for he children, Xmas trees the world pver are indispensable to the joys of children, and no nation. would deny he youngsters their cherished share of their own special season. Theatres always plan special enter- ainment for children during Xmas week. The Specific holiday fare this year .was various and abundant and howed a full appreciation of the modern demands of childhood at Kmastime. Children’s theatre-going n force comes but once a year, and he plays announced were tempting. ‘Pantomine in spite of all the super-_ ine critics holds its own in London, ind the English count this vigor a ign of health of the national taste.

His Lamp,” Alice again went to Won- derland, and children again went upor the happy pilgrimage to “Where the Rainbow Ends.” Special Xmas services were held in all churches of England. Large con- gregations assembled on Xmas morn- ing in Westminster Abbey and St. Paul's Cathedral; for Xmas ranks among the greatest of ecclesiastical festivals and many who may have become lax in attendance at public worship in general do not fail to be Present on that day. At Westminster, the Dean, following a long unbroken custom, preached, and as for many years past, the offertory was given to the Westminster Refuge for Ne- cessitous Women. The anthem “Be- hold Thou hast conceived,” by Han- del, and the Xmas carol by the choir. The same anthems and carols were rendered, at the afternoon service at St. Paul's. } With an abundance of holly berries, the decorations of the churches were seasonably effective. To the young people, the adornment of the holly appeals strongly and emphasizes the exceptional significance of the day in the ecclesastcal calendar. And of the antquity of the practice, the rec- ords of the city churches contribute many notable proofs going back to the ‘sixteenth century, as in the pence disbursed at St. Mary-at-Hill at this period for several years for “Holme and ivy at Xmas Eve"; or in 1524, at St. Martin, Oatwich, “for holie and wy at’ Chrystmas.” In the entrie: of St. Margaret's Westminster rosemary was included among the oliage that was paid for in 1647; but modern customs have not retained it.

Se ae ee es fashion which. seemingly unimportan at Its inception, often becomes 2 dom inating feature of such importance that It develops into a world-wide movement. During the last year there has been gradually developing strong feeling in favor of crepe de chine in preference to. almost any other silk fabric. This simple and Bot at all dressy material came al ‘most without herald as @ medium for developing semidressy tollets. Several well-known makers, such as Chanel, Miller, Soeurs and Rolande emphasized crepe de chine tm thel spring collections. Some of the larger and perhaps more important houses such as Collet, Cherult and Madeleine et Madeleine. while they sbowed crepe de chine in their collections, did ‘not make an emphatic point of It, but talked rather of more novelty fabrics But when the Parisienne began to buy her summer wardrobe It was early manifested that crepe de chine was to have a big vogue. Before mid summer arrived it was not only the crepe de chine dress, but It was the crepe de chine cape that carried the palm for summer success. In the fall collections of the houses who had early success with crepe de chine, an Increasing number of models in this material was shown. Crepe de chine was used for foundations of dresses of lace and metal novelties in preference to satins. New fall mantles of tissues and of furs began to be lined with crepe de chine. All of this Is most significant from ‘a standpoint of distribution. It looks ‘as if crepe de chine may be the big seller in 1921, taking the place to no small degree of voiles, taffetas and foulards.

Beott i euiteisthichets —— CHARLES E. STUMP HAS BEEN TRAVELING SO LONG AND SO FAST UNTIL HE BROKE DOWN AND WAS FORCED TO RETIRE TO A SANITARIUM IN OKLAHOMA. into the round house for repairs, and this is what has happened to me, and I have had almost 2 complete break- down on this round, and you will see where I am this week getting fixed up again beforo starting out, but I will be discharged by Dr. H. W. Conrad, and ‘will leave here for other parts. I must ask you to pray for me that I may be folly restored to health. If I am not, then it matters not for I am ready for anything that may come to me. You bave been keeping up with me, but you have not known how I have suffered on this trip. It started while I was im Chicago, but I kept a stiff upper lip~fecling that it would leave me. From Chieago, down through Mis- souri, Kansas, Oklahoma, into Texas. It wns in Texas that I had to give up and go toa doctor. I went to see Dr. Sterling in San Angelo, Tex., and you will reeall I said many things about that place, and enjoyed being there as well as a sick man could. Then I made my way neross to Abilene, Tex., and then to Mineral Wells, Tex., and from there I made it to Ft. Worth, where T found Dr. N. T. Wallis, with his suto- bile cay carriage awaiting my arrival, to tote me to a doctor, and see-if I had to leave here then or remain here on earth a little longer. He toted me right on to the office of Dr. A. B. Bor- ders, 2 product of Meharry College, in Nashville, and one of the busiest young physicians, in the eity. He took me in, pulled off all of my clothes, and put me through an examination, and then went right on and got some medi- cine and got me busy. I tell you there was but little time lost in getting busy. ‘Mrs. Wallis, that queen in the home of Dr. Wallis, had the bed ready for me, and soon I was in it, taking medi. cine, and I was told to remain in that bed as long as I wanted to, and they would look after me without money or cost. That is what I call friends, and it pays to make them. I was soon out of bed, and headed for this place, stopping to take some rest at Oklahoma City, where I found Dr. Slaughter, and others-ready to do for me. Dr. A. M. Johnson, looked after me, as well as he could, also Miss Florrie D. Pugh, of the A. M. E. Church. Dr. Smith, a worker in the Baptist Church. It seemed that all the people wanted to do something for me. I did not realize that I had so many friends until I got sick. Mrs, Emma B. Gordon, who was at one time Miss Emma B. Derrick, of Alabama, one of the finest domestic seience teachers in America, was ready to do her part, as well as Miss Laclia Lawson, a teacher. But Oklahoma City lost its charms, for me, for T had decided to make to the greatest physician our race has in America, Dr. H. W. Conrad. Speaking of Dr. H. W. Conrad, it seems that God just put him here to be a doctor, and he is one believe me honey. His father before him was a real doctor in Louisville, Ky., and H. W. is now the son of his father. He is now a man of worth to the nation. He does not make much fuss, but he is a busy man all the time. He just gets that pipe in his mouth when he is not looking after the sick, and he is search- ing and reseraching for information along the line of his profession, or to see what the world is doing. He is a great reader, and believe me when I tell you there is not a better posted man in the country, than this young man, from way down in Kentucky. If you should ask him how-he got out here, he would never be able to tell you, for he enjoyed « lururative practice in Louisville, but God just wanted him out here where he was needed. Then he directed him right to the spot where he could render the greater service for his people. He has on his place « well whose waters will cure you of many things, apd then he is prepared by training to locate all kind of pains and aches, and then send the stuff right to the spot that will do the work. I have told you about him before. His wife has been at work right by his side, but she bas failed in health, and for that and other reasons the Park Sanitarium has been closed for two months, but will open the last of February or early in Mareb, and already there are many appliedtions for a place to be treated. Dr, Conrad is right now locking after the sick, but he is not treating them at his place yet ‘When this old engine backed up, he met me at the door and told me that he was not receiving any patients, be- cause his wife was sick but I told him I was too, and could not leave. He looked at me and thén invited me in, and when once in I remained inside. Once inside he ushered me into his eR a tl a eee Oe fall THE BROAD AX, FEBRUARY 5, 1921. taking medicine. Now what do you think of a man who can hear things talking inside of you, and, then ‘upset their plans. I think he must of heard one of them things say that he was going to get my goat, but he de- ‘cided to fool him. After one night, I was fecling like another man, for Dr. Conrad had list- ‘ened to the plans of the germs, and he fooled them. Idon"t know where such 4 man came from, but I do know that T am getting better. It is a great thing that this race has made such a wonderful progress in this world. May they continue to live and do good for humanity. In Dr, Conrad and the Park Sanitar- ium, you have a combination of Mayo Brothers, Battle Creek, and all them other places. It is only a question of fa short time when we will have in Gurthrie the greatest institution in the world, and already people have been here from all parts of the country to be treated, Just as soon as the Sanitariam is open for patients, T will let you know about it. Things are getting in good shape for us, and I am proud of it. T hope to be able to have many things to say to you soon. Since I have been here, I have had letters and telegrams from every way. Prof. Aaron F, Malone, has wired me, offering his strvice, and telling me to come right on to St. Louis, and while he was to go away, he would defer his trip to look after me, That is what T jeall friend. Heaven is my home, but I am not home sick. I want to here express my thanks to all my friends from time to time who have looked after me, and who are willing to do 0. It is only a question of knowing my needs and they will supply them. Dr. G. A. Ea- wards, President of Kittrell College, Kittrell, N. C., sent me a letter, and in it he had something that would get lemonade or something else good. I note that lynching continues to go on in this country. I want to see the time come when there will be a halt called. I am keeping my eye on Mr. Harding, our President, and I want to ‘see what steps he is going to take. We are all sorry that Governor Bickett has retired from the Governor of North Carolina. He is a great man, and I feel that North Carolina will recognize his worth to the state and send him to the United States Senate. He is a man, every inch of him, and such a ‘man I would not regret seeing Presi- dent of the United States. But we have Senator Harding now and he will have to abide his time. I think I will be discharged this week. CHARLES E. STUMP. A WHITE MAN FIGHTS For the Custody of a Colored Boy He Reared—Wins Case Against ss Barents. Trenton, N. J—White and colored people from Mt. Holly crowded the Court of Chancery to hear the un- usual case of a white man in an ap- peal for custody of a little colored boy whom he had cared for as a son since infancy. His appeal was suc- cessful and the boy will be taken from his colored parents and given over to the care of the man who acted as his guardian almost his en- tire life. George Tomlinson, a painter, of Mt. Holly, about 30 years ago married a young colored woman and they have had four chidren, all girls. Tomlinson desired a little boy and when, about ten years ago, Har- vey Still was arrested and his wife ran away, leaving a baby boy six months old with no one to care for him, 2 neighbor took him to the Tom- linson home, where he has since lived and has come to be regarded as ont of the family. The Stills spme time ago became reunited anid decided they would like to have their son, now ten years old, living with them. Tomlin- ‘son, however, refused to consider parting with the youngster and his parents accordingly had recourse to legal proceedings. The fight between the Tomlinsons and the Stills for the boy has aroused intense interest in ‘Mt. Holly, and sympathy generally bas been with Tomlinson, a man ol 30 years, who enjoys a good reputa- tion in the town. Tomlinson will immediately begin efforts to recover the custody of the Colored boy and will go to New York and employ de- tectives to aid him im his search. ‘MAKING SPLENDID REOORD. Justice John T.

What use is color without the right color, tone or shade or combina- tlon of both or all three? Most of us choose color for becomingness only, and yet, though a color be actually un- becoming, if It be the latest and smartest, the consciousness of this fact will endow the wearer with a contented look and a glow of satistac- tion reflected In her eyes, resulting in a flattering remark among her friends of :“How well she looks,” and then the desired effect is achieved aft- er all. Colors are no longer chosen ac- cording to age as our mothers and grandmothers were prone to do. No color limit, no hard and fast rules ‘of color before and after thirty in this age and era! On the contrary, the range Is unlimited and ever varying. The necessary thing is to know your type and then to"know color as ap- plied to yourself.

Biouses in suit colorings, having been given the center of the stage for the winter season, are even now being replaced by more brilliant ones for spring, according to a fashion author- ity. Tomato red is given as one of the bright particular spots in the offering. Red having been neglected for years, has quite suddenly become a most fm- portant note.

MAY RIVAL CHEMISE DRESS Recently Created Garment of Paris Origin, Bids Fair to Find Favor With Milady. Paul Poiret never made a better thing than the chemise dresses with which he startled Paris many years ago. Since that time, writes a Par is fashion correspondent, he has cre- ated many different models, but none bas had the enduring vogue of the peasant chemise. This is no reflec ton on his resourcefulness and cre- ative ability, but demonstrates that there are only a few ideas in the world which would have sufficient vi- tality to survive. Recently there has a on the horton of fashion aneber genre of Gress, created and launched by Madeleine Vionnet, which bids falr to have the same vitality and endurance as the chemise dress. As Poiret gathered his ideas from the crudest form of peasant garb, Vionnet has drawn ttispiration from the dreds of the bighly civilized Greek at the perl- od of bis most artistic development, Just as M. Polret, in adopting the crude single garment of the unlettered man of toll, embellished it, Vionnet has stripped the Grecian designs of all complications and presented them with a stern simplicity that bolds only the faintest suggestion of their origin. While Poiret embellished, Vionnet sim- pliged. He took simplielty and com plicated it. She took complication ‘and simplified it. He took the worka- day blouse and made ft acceptable to the modern woman of fashion. She took the complicated draperies of the effete Grecian civilization and wrought them Into practical, sensible twentl- et century Greeses, a Again. the Overbiouss. 7 Blousés contintic to be made to wear over the skirt, altliough many of them are greatly attenuated.
