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.

LEAVES FROM MEMORIES CASKET Dr. M. A. Majors. Often in the still hours of night I sit thinking of other days gone by. Thinking of joyful moments when childhood knew naught but goodness and had not a care, when the gladdening things could thrill the tender fibres of my soul, and I could see sweet innocence through eyes not opened to the grotesque and ugly things. It was Junes time of warm sunshine, and its fragrant hour of sweet perfume that came rich from the bloom of a seasons variegated shrub and foliage everywhere to be seen in abundance. Often the child dreams of those dead days crowd before me, and richly laden with pictures of youths spring time soothe and sustain me for older days when cares might cofrode my older drooping spirit, groping heavy with the weight of years bearing me down. In silent contemplation of the past so splendidly rich with the gorgeous, and gaudy gloss of fortunes bequest to childhood purity, and virtue, a grand procession marshals its forces before me and I almost seem to hear the happy shouts of children, their merry laughter, and a glorious turbulence of chatter impossible to determine. A veritable sunburst to light up the dark spaces of later years! A shooting star of brilliancy to lift the blight from disappointment and a dejected heart. A mellow warmth of human love, and life to coax the remnant of our hope to live again. This is why we sit alone and think at night when all is still. When all its still and the world is dressed up in the dark shroud of night, twilight has pulled her curtain down and pinned it with a star. The voice of eloquent nature supplies rhapsody to the drooping heart, weighted with gross orders. The purple dawn of youth comes and with it the first grim moment to sadden the heart, and rear instead of innocence, a conceit unfitted for the abiding place of purity.

The joys of youth, and how transcendentially grand is its horizon! Some nights when all is still and I sit alone thinking of the dear dead days long passed into the oblivion of other years I can draw fancy pictures on the landscape darkness of the room, and as I draw these beautiful pictures of another day life comes pulsing through my veins bringing the once pinkish tint of the rose to my cheeks, and the fresh summer warmth of a glorious era of childhood to my heart. There is a rapture richer than the dreams of wealth, and lofty power for him who in the love of nature contemplates the joyous scene of childhood. There is a happiness greater than anything else can offer to turn back the pages of time and read with memories eyes the golden lessons that have ripened into knowledge for later years. What a store house of treasure our earlier years invite us review!

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 almost 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 overlook 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 locality without having some of the attributes of salesmanship is a very foolish venture. Very successful men who started under most unfavorable conditions succeeded because they seriously regarded the principles of discretion, and made themselves fit in at least some of the qualities of being a store keeper. Watching the fluctuating marketable commodities and keeping tab on the changing prices of butter, eggs, sugar, lard, etc., are some of the elementary 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 veritable fools errand to waste, and to failure. In a few weeks a school for the exclusive purpose of teaching our people the business efficiency, and how to conduct commercial enterprises will be started at 3201 Wabash ave. We are making a careful selection of teachers with abundant experience and knowledge who will guide the ambitious man or woman along the beaten paths of business efficiency. Too long already have we been remiss. It is almost a crime to have so long been derelict in the fact of such grave dangers to our unprepared embarked on the business sea without a compass or chart, only they had some money but did not know how to keep it. To deal with any kind of trade requires the application of the rigid rule, efficiency. THE LATE ROBERT SIMS BURIED WITH HIGH MA- SONIC HONORS. The middle of last week Robert Sims passed away at his cme, 633 S. Dearborn street, where he had resided 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 Friday and Saturday, and Mr. Sims was buried with all the high honors or rights coming to him, for he was a member in good standing of Prince Hall Lodge of Masons and a member of Lake Michigan Lodge of Odd Fellows and the high priests of those two lodges conducted the last sad rights over his remains. Mr. Sims was also a member of Manasseh Club No. 1. Interment was at Mt. Glenwood Cemetery. Sir Knight Hon. James E. Bish, who is one of the most prominent secret society men in Chicago, who is the right hand assistant of Mr. Williamson, had cargo of all the funeral arrangements. THE BROAD AX, FEBRUARY 5, 1921 CAMPAIGNING FOR CAMPAIGNING FOR THE KIDDIES By Mrs. EVELYN CASEY Although the school term just completed passed into history with the graduating exercises held on the 27th ult., The Broad Ax has not closed its campaign, but rather intends to carry on. On Jan. 26, after a pleasing interview with Miss McDonnell, principal at Keith School, 34th and Dearborn streets, the visitor was directed to confer with Mrs. Joslin, head assistant, 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 uniting work of this teacher who has stood four square in efforts to boost the efficiency rating at this school and has not failed. The graduating class numbered twenty-three pupils, and it is a pleasure to announce that Theodore Kelley led his class in general scholarship. 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 inspiration to the children following along. An added attraction presented at commencement was Keith School Orchestra which, though less than a year old, acquitted themselves admirably 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 advancement 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 address delivered to them by the Hon. Edward H. Wright. Doubling Back on the Trail. A retrospective survey of the commencement exercises at Colman School calls forth feelings of profound sympathy for those kiddies, their parents and friends. Decidedly in advance of the hour set for opening, a sign "S. R. O." might have been displayed to advantage, as it became apparent that space for housing the crowd was wholly inadequate. In a room, the normal capacity of which is forty-eight, were assembled upward of one hundred-fifty persons. THE WORKING MAN. He doesn't look much as the saying goes If he did, what's the use he's poor. But he's alright, and his spirit shows That he is a man to the core. He counts quite a deal in the great world's work. Is from steam of his mighty horn. So little we think of the good of such men, Who bury themselves from the crowd; So little we think how much they are kin To the fellow that's richly endowed. And so the world goes, never stopping to heed, Or to give to such men what's their due, So warped by their wealth, and its infamous greed, Fail to see all that's good and that's true. Some day he'll look better if clothes is the thing That can give a man looks that are fine; Some day you will meet him, and think him a king, Or a prince, man, the way he will shine. And why should it matter since he's up right and true, What he wears just to cover his hide? What color he is if his heart's true blue And he has the great God on his side? FIRE BOMB ON ROOF ROUTS 30 COLORED FAMILIES. Flames believed to have been start- ed by a "fire-bomb" hurled on to the roof of a four-story flat building at 240 East Forty-ninth street early Tuesday morning routed thirty colored families. The explosion and fire are laid to labor trouble. According to F. W. Harsh Jr. agent for the building, there have been three fires in three months since the owner, P. M. Combes, had trouble with a contractor. Tenants in the apartments say there have been rumors for more than a week that "something would happen" if the electricians now working were not taken off the job. All say they heard an explosion before the flames leaped from the first to the fourth floor. --- By Monroe A. Majors. The class, numbering forty-eight, sat two in a seat, leaving three rows in which visitors sat two in a seat, while on three sides of the room they stood two deep and a patient number hung about the corridor. When a school graduates so large a class and when parents, relatives and friends in such numbers pause in their day's occupation to do honor to that school, an assembly hall is essential. It would seem that parents who are taxpayers in this community should look to it that their children have all the advantages that accrue from adequate school equipment; and it would seem that landlords, even though their interest in the community may be pecuniary, might co-operate with their tenants to the end that these children may have those things which are necessary to promote their social and educational growth.

A number of points brought out were of educational worth, particularly to students, and opened up new lines of historical thought. Can you imagine the pleasure experienced by your representative on hearing Dr. Robinson announce at the Lyceum last Sunday that, in public recognition of the achievements of Chicago school kiddies, St. Mark has planned a social function with these youngsters as guests of honor? CHRISTMAS OR YULETIDE IN LONDON, ENGLAND. By Beatrice E. Lee, Ph.B. A Yuletide comparable to the best that the Riviera or Monte Carlo (the Palm Beach of Europe) could offer in ideal weather conditions detracted nothing from the zest with which London celebrated this Old English festival. Alike in the hospitals, hotels of the West-end, theatres, and churches, the spirit of Christmas was everywhere apparent. The decoration of warships with holly and mistletoe on Xmas Day in Sheermess 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 nursing staffs willingly gave their time to entertaining the many sufferers who at the London Hospital visited each of 900 beds, walking in single file with lanterns while singing carols, "Fathen Xmas" visited the wards and distributed useful and amusing gifts to the inmates and filled the children's stockings. Punch and Judy, conjurators 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 restaurant and grill rooms of the best hotels, catering especially to American and Continental visitors, were beautifully decorated with festoons of real flowers, baskets of mistletoe and holly and Xmas trees for the children, Xmas trees the world over are indispensable to the joys of children, and no nation would deny the youngsters their cherished share of their own special season. Theatres always plan special entertainment for children during Xmas week. The Specific holiday fare this year was various and abundant and showed a full appreciation of the modern demands of childhood at Xmastime. Children's theatre-going in force comes but once a year, and the plays announced were tempting. Pantomine in spite of all the superfine critics holds its own in London, and the English count this vigor a sign of health of the national taste. The medley spectacle, plot, sentiment and rollicking fun which makes up panotomine is a purely national product. No other nation has it, no other nation, perhaps could relish it, Cinderella, Robinson Crusoe, and Dick Whittington were among the pantomines given. Besides pantomine, many other entertainments were given, including the first and greatest of fairy plays, "A Midsummer Night's Dream," "Peter Pan," and the "Sheperdess Without a Heart," and "Aladdin and 1910 HON.

His Lamp," Alice again went to Wonderland, and children again went upon the happy pilgrimage to "Where the Rainbow End." In recent years, taste has gone back to the simpler traditional use of evergreens, and wreaths, festivals and branches of holly. Special Xmas services were held in all churches of England. Large congregations assembled on Xmas morning 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 Necessitous Women. The anthem "Behold Thou hast conceived," by Handel, 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 seasonally effective. To the young people, the adornment of the holly appeals strongly and emphasizes the exceptional significance of the day in the ecclesastical calendar. And of the antiquity of the practice, the records 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 ivy at Chrystmas." In the entries of St. Margaret's Westminster rosemary was included among the foliage that was paid for in 1647; but modern customs have not retained it. In mid-Victorian days, there was a liking for texts and lines from favorite hymns expressed in letters formed of cotton-wool dusted with something that would sparkle to represent snow. These were sewn laboriously on long lengths of crimson cloath and hung upon the walls or wherever space permitted the display. Colored banners with various sacred symbols were also much used at one time. IRELAND [Name] HON. ALBERT NOWAK.

The old-time members of Quinn Chapel, the mother A. M. E. Church, Twenty-fourth and Wabash avenue contend that there is more real life and active bushel around Quinn Chapel than there has been for many years in the past; that old Quinn Chapel is rapidly coming back to its own; that larger and larger congregations worship within its walls each Sunday morning. That its membership and friends are working hard to wipe out the balance of the debt against it on Palm Sunday, March 20; that the officers of the church all claim that Quinn is in better condition financially and spiritually, than it has been for many years in the past. They are all loud in sounding the praises of Rev. H. E.

FOR SPRING WEAR Dress or Suit Is Question the Young Lady Has to Decide. Winter Sale Garments Likely to Provide Satisfactory for the Milder Days. "Dress or suit for spring?" asked the girl who is always forehanded Because no one can ever be perfectly sure of these things and always sure of avoiding mistakes unless some thoughts in advance, very much in advance, are given to the matter. And someone answered rather non committially that no woman who lives at all out of doors and who went about in the street cars at all could possibly do without a suit. The forehanded girl is even forehanded ed enough to see an advantage in buying a winter sale suit for the first spring days. So many are being of fered and at such wonderful prices, that even if one regretted later that the purchase was made, the matter would not be especially serious. Now that frock and coats and suits have ceased to cost, separately, as much as one felt should be spent or the entire wardrobe, everyone is feeling easier about that most important question, "A frock or a suit and blouse?" It can easily be answered by purchasing all three. One particular pet with the woman who delights in spring suits is the lingerie blouse. Any number of lovely ones are shown in the shops, both those of fliny material trimmed with fillet, and the batiste with eyelet embroidery trimmed around about with hand drawn scallops. Then Irish has gained such a tre- mendous place in the affections of the woman of 1920 that it is sure to be given a nice place in her 1921 ward robe. But the pretty French camisole to be worn with the spring suit had only a little place started for itself last year. Women are busy now acqui- ring them, either through buying or making for the spring suit. They look dressier than the blouse, made of net filet, Irish and embroidery with their pink ribbon roses added and they make both a frock and a suit of the suit. Swarovski Hermann & Ludwig One of the most striking and practical sports costumes designed this year is this stunning model of striped woolens, with bloomers instead of hampering skirts and set off with a belt of the same material and a coquettish toque of brushed wool. HOW TO MAKE A SMART BOW Ribbon Should Be Wound Around Fingers or Over Nails Driven Into Block of Wood. Stylish bows are always tied and are never fashioned from a series of sewed loops. With a little practice unskilled fingers may soon become proficient in the art of making smart bows with both narrow and wide ribbon. To make the bows the ribbon should be wound around the two index fingers of another person's hands as many times as there are to be loops, and then tied and knotted tightly in the middle. This produces a dainty, attractive bow. If no one is there to furnish the helping fingers, wind the ribbon over two long wire nails which have been hammered into a block of wood the required distance apart. It is important that the loops be pulled out loosely to produce the effect of a rosette or bow. The length of the loops, of course, will depend upon the use to which the bows are to be put and upon the width of the ribbon used. Little Girl's Freaks. For dancing school and dress-up occasions little girls wear freaks of de crepe de chine, dainty trimmed with hand embroidery. Taffeta freaks are also good. WILL SPEAK IN ST. LOUIS Attorney Walter M.

Paris has a way of developing a fashion which, seemingly unimportant at its inception, often becomes a dominating feature of such importance that it develops into a world-wide movement. During the last year there has been gradually developing a strong feeling in favor of crepe de chine in preference to almost any other silk fabric. This simple and not at all dressy material came almost without herald as a medium for developing semidressy toilets. Several well-known makers, such as Chanel, Miller, Soeurs and Rolande, emphasized crepe de chine in their spring collections. Some of the larger and perhaps more important houses, such as Collet, Cheruit and Madeleine et Madeleine, while they showed 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 volles, taffetas and foulards. GINGHAM CHECKS AND COLOR Fabrice Quite Vivid in Tone and Plaidings Are Fascinating in Their Peculiar Way. Gingham are particularly good in color and plaidings. The plain colored ones are quite vivid in tone and those made of small or large checks are fascinating in their particular way. Then there are cotton Japanese crepes, which are quite inexpensive and which have budded out this season in colors that have not been obtainable for many seasons past. Linens are still very scarce and expensive, but they can be bad by the fastidious by the expenditure of large sums of money. Dimities have been most marvelously developed and they bid fair to be one of the successful cottonts of the coming season. Already blouses made from them are being shown over the counters and many are the favorable comments that are casually passed about them. There is a freshness about dimity which has its own charm and brooks no rival. It does wash well and is guaranteed to keep its color as well if not better than others of the sheerer fabrics. Safety Pocket. A safety pocket that is easily attached to a corset and which is not only healthier, but safer than the old chamois skin bag for carrying jewelry in, is made of rubber. It is shaped like a dress shield and is placed over the corset near the arm. One side, on which is the pocket, is under the corset and the other side laps over. The nap has a clasp on it, which connects with the pocket itself, through the corset cloth. To Sew Lace Edge. When you wish to sew lace or edging to ruffles, pillowcases, petticans and so on, first crease the hem as deep as you wish it; on this crease place the lace with the right side facing the goods, just as you would to whip it by hand, and stitch it on by machine, holding the lace a little fall and the goods tight, thus giving the required fullness without hastening. Then turn up the hem and stitch. On account of sudden illness, Rev. T. L. Scott, Pastor of Grant Memorial A. M. E.

STUMP HAS BEEN TRAVELING SO LONG AND SO FAST UNTIL HE BROKE DOWN AND WAS FORCED TO RETIRE TO A SANITARIUM IN OKLAHOMA. Park Sanitarium, Guthric, Okla.—It is necessary for the old engine to back into the round house for repairs, and this is what has happened to me, and I have had almost a complete breakdown on this round, and you will see where I am this week getting fixed up again before 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 fully restored to health. If I am not, then it matters not for I am ready for anything that may come to me. You have been keeping up with me, but you have not known how I have suffered on this trip. It started while I was in Chicago, but I kept a stiff upper lip-feeling that it would leave Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, into Texas. It was in Texas that I had to give up and go to a doctor. I went to see Dr. Sterling in San Angelo, Tex, and you will recall I was all joyed with things that place, and enjoyed being there as well as a sick man could. Then I made my way across to Abilene, Tex, and then to Mineral Wells, Tex, and from there I made it to Ft. Worth, where I found Dr. N. T. Wallis, with his automobile carriage awaiting my arrival, to tome me to a doctor, and see if I had to leave here then or remain here on earth a little longer. He tomed me right on to the office of Dr. A. B. Borders, a product of Mehchar College, in Nashville, and one of the busiest young physicians, in the city. He took me in, pulled off all of my clothes, and put me through an examination, and then went right on and got some medicine 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 medicine, 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 science teachers in America, was ready to do her part, as well as Miss Luella Lawson, a teacher. But Oklahoma City lost its charms, for me, for I 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 searching 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 a luxurative 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 a well whose waters will cure you of many things, and 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 has 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 March, and already there are many applications for a place to be treated. Dr. Conrad is right now looking 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, because his wife was sick but I told him I was too, and could not leave. He looked at me and then invited me in, and when once in I remained inside. Once inside he ushered me into his examination room. I wanted to tell him what I needed in the way of medicine. I told him what the suffering was and what would reach it, but he said "Before I can give you any medicine, I must locate the cause." He got a big bag like thing, and put it around my left arm, then attached to it a clap, and told me something. Then he got him some little rubber things, and ut his car and got a Little flat thing and put it to me, going over to see what the disease germs were saying. Just to think he could listen and tell what was being said inside of me. This is a wonderful age, and when he was through he got something else and used it, and it was not but a few minutes before he had me 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 decided to fool him. After one night, I was feeling like another man, for Dr. Conrad had listened to the plans of the germs, and he fooled them. Idon't know where such a man came from, but I do know that I 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 Sanitarium, you have a combination of Mayo Brothers, Battle Creek, and all them other places. It is only a question of a 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 Sanitarium is open for patients, I will let you know about it. Things are getting in good shape for us, and I am proud of it. I 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 E. 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 I call a 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 so. It is only a question of knowing my needs and they will supply them. Dr. G. A. Edwards, 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 President 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 Parents Trenton, N. J.—White and colored people from Mt. Holly crowded the Court of Chancery to hear the unusual case of a white man in an appeal for custody of a little colored boy whom he had cared for as a son since infancy. His appeal was successful 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 entire life. George Tomlinson, a painter, of Mt. Holly, about 30 years ago married a young colored woman and they have had four children, all girls. Tomlinson desired a little boy and when, about ten years ago, Harvey Still was arrested and his wife ran away, leaving a baby boy six months old with no one to care for him, a neighbor took him to the Tomlinson home, where he has since lived and has come to be regarded as one of the family. The Stills some time ago became reunited and decided they would like to have their son, now ten years old, living with them. Tomlinson, 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 has been with Tomlinson, a man of 50 years, who enjoys a good reputation in the town. Tomlinson will immediately begin efforts to recover the custody of the Colored boy and will go to New York and employ detectives to aid him in his search. MAKING SPLENDID RECORD Justice John T.

According to the United States geological survey the highest mountain in the state of New York is Mount Marcy, a peak in the Adirondacks, which rises 5,344 feet above sea level. The average or main elevation of the state, as estimated by the geological survey, is 900 feet. Irish Language. The Gaellic language is the original and historical language of the people of Ireland, though most of that country's inhabitants speak English. Gaellic is now taught in the national schools, Catholic parish schools and colleges in Ireland, as well as at Harvard university, Notre Dame university and the Catholic University of America at Washington. There has been a revival of the use of Gaellic through the efforts of the Society for the Preservation of the Gaellic Language. An Historic Forest The historical associations connected with the forest of Vallombrosa are very interesting. It was founded in the Twelfth century and given its name which, literally translated, means "Shadowed Valley," by Saint Glorvanni Gaulberto, says Nelson Courtlandt Brown in the American Forestry Magazine. It was founded as a monastery and retreat for one of the Benedictine order of monks, and from its early inception the monks took great pride in caring for, cultivating and replanting the forests. ```markdown ``` INDEPENDENCE & UNDERWOOD This is a smart trotteur suit of gray and blue duvetyn united with braiding. The new short jacket is one of fashion's latest cuts. WHAT COLOR SHALL I WEAR? Tone or Shade Should Be Chosen to Suit the Wearer; Harmony the Watchword. Color has a decided influence on its wearer, for immediately after the question: "What shall I wear?" comes the all important one of the choice of color. What use is color without the right color, tone or shade or combination of both or all three? Most of us choose color for becomingness only, and yet, though a color be actually unbecoming, if it be the latest and smartest, the consciousness of this fact will endow the wearer with a contented look and a glow of satisfaction reflected in her eyes, resulting in a flattering remark among her friends of "How well she looks," and then the desired effect is achieved after all. Colors are no longer chosen according 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 applied to yourself. Whereas the unsophisticated girl chooses bright colors that please her eye, the sophisticated one chooses colors that match her eyes or hair. A French cottontail suggested that one should match one's eyes in the evening shades and one's hair in the daytime. This is a wise and a safe rule. There are those of us, however, who would go about eternally clad in sober browns if we followed this rule, and for those we would put down the law of harmony in contrast—and what rule was made not to be broken? FASHION NOTES OF INTEREST The extremely collate evening gown has disappeared. Wired tunics of metal lace will be worn over satin slips. Tailored and fluffy ruffles blouses share honors this season. Paris favors the long, narrow muff with gathered ends. Even bathing slippers will have the popular ankle strap. Punch work embroidery on cloth and velvet is replacing other embroidery at smart gatherings. Dyvetyn vestees, pipings and factions, in some contrasting color, are used on serge and tricotine frocks. Green and red seem to be the dominant colors for evening wear, particularly when velvet is the material chosen. Grays and browns will be popular this spring, but the newest note of the season will be the very extensive revival of the use of pencil-striped materials. One of the latest effects in French neckwear is a little plaited ruche of colored organdie, hemstitched around the edges and worn close about the throat. A Handsome Girlie A perfectly plain navy blue silk dress has an unusual girdle as the only trimming. The neck is cut square and plain, the short sleeves are plain and the entire skirt and waist are plain, but to wear, with this plain dress there is a smart girdle made of wide navy blue grograin ribbon with a plect edge and bordered by narrow gold-colored ribbon. This girdle is almost two and one-half inches wide, and is trimmed at intervals with velvet leaves and flowers made of cloth of gold and silver. The girdle or sash is worn a little below the waist line and is knotted only once, the ends being allowed to fall several inches below the bottom of the dress skirt. The girdle changes the dress into a smart costume. The dress and girdle could be made at home at comparatively small cost. Coloring Arc-Lamp Globes The purple color of arce-lamp globes is due to the use of manganese in the glass. The manganese is used to counteract the greenish color which comes from ferrous salts in the glass, but the action of light on the manganese only substitutes a purple coloration for a greenish hue. 3 IN SPRING BLOUSE Gay Colorings Promise to Feature Coming Season. Tomato Red Is Given as One of the Bright Particular Spots in the Offering. Blouses 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 authority. 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 important note. It is early to talk of organdies and cotton fabrics, but in passing it is a temptation to say that tomato and flame are colors often repeated in these materials. A blouse of two or more fabrics offers fascinating possibilities for the combination of color, and black and white is always stunning. In one blouse black expresses itself in satin, softened with sleeves and a gilet or yoke of white georgette banded with black. Such a blouse makes of a separate satin skirt a modish costume and in this instance a white faced satin in hat completes the picture. Since crepe dresses are quite the newest note it is natural that blouse-makers should turn their attention to this fabric as well. It is not to be supposed, that lingerie blouses and lingerie ```markdown ``` Blouse of Two Fabrics. gerie frocks will be neglected, but there is every justification for the prophecy that fabrics of the crepe order will be made into utility dresses, and waists range in color from navy, black and brown to the lightest pastel shades and white. Georgette, always important from the blouse viewpoint, is combined with crepe for many of these models. In fact, present indications point to a season of interesting and out-of-the-usual combinations of materials, often of the same color. 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 Paris fashion correspondent, he has created many different models, but none has had the enduring vogue of the peasant chemise. This is no reflection on his resourcefulness and creative ability, but demonstrates that there are only a few ideas in the world which would have sufficient vitality to survive. Recently there has appeared on the horizon of fashion another genre of dress, created and launched by Madeleine Vlonnet, which bids fair to have the same vitality and endurance as the chemise dress. As Poliet gathered his ideas from the crudest form of peasant garb, Vlonnet has drawn inspiration from the dress of the highly civilized Greek at the period of his most artistic development Just as M. Polet, in adopting the crude single garment of the unlettered man of toil, embellished it, Vionnet has stripped the Grecian designs of all complications and presented them with a stern simplicity that holds only the faintest suggestion of their origin. While Polet embellished, Vionnet simplified. He took simplicity and complicated it. She took complication and simplified it. He took the workday blouse and made it acceptable to the modern woman of fashion. She took the complicated draperies of the effete Grecian civilization and wrought them into practical, sensible twentieth century dresses. Again the overblouses. Blouses continue to be made to wear over the skirt, although many of them are greatly attenuated. Tebacks, surplus effects of various kinds and peasant types continue in favor, the tuck-in blouse invariably being of more tailored type, or the lingerie type with its ever-popular cascaded frill at the front or side. Eyelight embroidery having registered for winter refuses to be ousted for spring, and among the lingerie types, which include many fine volles, there are eyeletter embroidery motifs to no end. A volle blouse may have a turn-down collar, a rounded bosom and cuffs of eyeletter work, or for that matter the entire blouse may be fashioned of it, no matter what its color. Life Calls for One's Best To make a success of life you must be always at it with your sye on the job. Diversion will stimulate far more intensive effort, but the effort itself must have no diverting influence. "This one thing I do," says the apocrypha, and in doing it he wins. Keep your eye on the ball and put your best into the game. Beware of Apologizing. Apologizing—a very desperate habit —one that is rarely cured. Apologizing is only egotism wrong side out. Nine times out of ten, the first thing a man's companion knows of his short- comings is from his apology—Oliver Wendell Holmes. Squeaking Shoes a Good Omen. Thetheatrical people have many super- stitions and they cling to the pro- fession closely, one being if an actor's shoes squeak, ever so little, as he makes the first entrance, he is assured of a welcome from the audience.
